Plague Tankazon - Vash - 04-24-2003

Hmm...dodge...avoid...blocking...high defense...plague javelin...yummy

Is plague javelin viable in 1.09 even with the 4 second casting delay?

Does penetrate apply for melee attacks (such as jab)?

Can effective blocking go over 75% (because of high dex)?

Edit: Another question....has anyone used Impale before? The stats on Arreat Summit look pretty good...but I've heard that it's too slow. But then again, a Tankazon would have all the time in the world :P Thoughts?

Casting delay?

Quote:Does penetrate apply for melee attacks (such as jab)?

Yes and other non-spear class weapons can benefit too.

No.

1. Yes. Impale is slower than than . . . Hey have you tried to get a Sorceress chilled before casting Lightning? It's like that. <_<

2. Look up "Tankazon".

Yes, Arreat Summit says Plague Javelin has a 4 second casting delay (while the duration of each casting lasts 3 seconds! Ack!)

I suppose I'll use Jab for mana leeching and boss-killing then.

"2. Look up "Tankazon"."

What do you mean by that...

*looks around*.....

*hands Vash a booklet "You and your Javelin, the book of Javazon guides"*

Read This: Javazon Guide by Phage

That was posted in a thread here on the first page, and maybe if you had taken a look at that, you might have found the answer to your questions and a whole lot more.

This Link Here!

Phage did a heck of a nice job, if you ask me. :)

The main problem with Impale is that it sounds like a constipated cat being scraped slowly across a rusty blackboard

If anyone uses it near me again I think I'm gonna bail ;)
