A thought came to me pretty random lol i was on my lvl 9 leaper yet again and a lvl 9 sacadin came in and wanted to duel so i was like sure after hopping for a minute and him getting upset i ran outta mana and just started whacking...

i didnt have any large lifers left so i gave him a bunch of random poison sc's and the sacadin didnt have deaths so he was getting demolished which i found rather amusing so my point...

lvl 9 zon
poison javelin/ magic arrow switch

use poison javelin on vllds without deaths and maxer gear magic arrow with deaths... i think this vlld could work....?

gear i was thinking

maxer mask or posion jeweled
maxer light plate or poison jeweled
pelta , or maxer shield or poison jeweled
nice rare eth replenish javs
deaths need ias on bow switch
bow rare 4 soc composite maxed or rare with ias
rings nagel or ar rings
stat ammy
(cleglaws gloved if necessary would be very handy)

dont think this has bin tried b4 because of deaths but magic arrow on switch ?

Last thing if u think this is worth a try let me know and ill give it a shot
only major con to this might be extremly low life charm depending>?

well even most vlld's that don't use deaths often have it in the stash (for the cnb if nothing else)... so not sure how often your poison would actually do dmg. Why low life though, maybe its just venom but I thought item poison & skill poison didn't play nice together.

As for magic arrow its still blockable and you have to aim it unlike guided (which means you won't get off nearly as many between running away). Still not alot of frw on vlld's usually and you won't have to worry about charge. Might be worth a try atleast, and if all else fails re-use as much as you can for a jab zon. I do see BoS sins outrunning you though.

low health was because u would be full of poison charms

is there a bug when using poison javelin with poison charms?

[Jerkazoid]

no, but poison from sources that are not skills are very low in comparison.
in 1.10 skills with poison got a huge buff to compensate with the PvE increases. but they never rebalanced the sources from affixes.

poison dmg is also calculated by adding the rates and averaging the durations. This is why people sometimes cant figure out why the LCS says different from what they expect when they just add up the numbers.

poisons on the same source. IE preffix + suffix have added durations and added rates.. thats why 451 over 12 sc's can exist (in 1.09 they got durations truncated to 255 frames so they dropped to 383 over 10)
so you MUST find double poison charms if you expect to get the most for your space.

but more importantly i dont think psn from sources other then +skill even xfers into the clouds at all... im pretty sure it doesnt. why they didnt add a poison arrow synergy to the bow tree ill never know... or a cold jav attack.. beyond me.. it just screams at me.

poison damage from gear/charms doesn't transfer to cloud. even if it did your damage wouldn't be large enough for this to work.
