"Throws a javelin enhanced by poison, which leaves a trail of poison clouds". Great looking animation for this one; it leaves a green trail of expanding poison clouds behind. The javelin will poison anything it strikes, as will the vapor trail poison anything that walks through it. The poison damage | "Throws a javelin enhanced by poison, which leaves a trail of poison clouds". Great looking animation for this one; it leaves a green trail of expanding poison clouds behind. The javelin will poison anything it strikes, as will the vapor trail poison anything that walks through it. The listed poison damage can be deceptively high, since it's spread over a long period of time, but it is effective early in the game, when monsters have low hit points and no poison resistance. | ||
Poison Javelin is best aimed in front of a pack of approaching monsters, rather than at them, since you want them to walk through the vapor trail to poison the largest possible number of them at once. It can of course be aimed at monsters as well, and it's good there to kill things that won't walk into the trail, such as Fallen Shaman. | Poison Javelin is best aimed in front of a pack of approaching monsters, rather than at them, since you want them to walk through the vapor trail to poison the largest possible number of them at once.
