Plague Javelin

Casting Delay: 4 Seconds
Required Level: 18
Prerequisites: Poison Javelin, Lightning Bolt
Synergies:

Details: Plague Javelin adds poison damage to thrown javelins. The projectile leaves a trail of poison gas behind it, and successful hits create a huge exploding cloud of smoke that will poison every monster that moves through it.

  • An awesomely fun skill to use when playing solo, especially on crowds; the poison damage isn't sufficient to kill quickly in larger games.

Lore:
Practised and cunning warriors are able to incorporate poisonous vegetation into the organs of wildlife, creating highly infectious and deadly bladders that the Amazons affix to their javelins. These javelins strike a target and explode into noxious and putrescent clouds. Entire armies of creatures and of men have been slaughtered by the ingenious use of these biological agents. The choking cloud created by a plague javelin will incapacitate even the strongest foes.
