Diablo II 1.10 Beta Test begins

From what I have seen, with each level of plague javelin the duration increases and the damage per second increases. So you do't have to worry about damage per second getting smaller with increased duration; it increases as well =) The overall damage grows exponentially however (if I am not mistaken, at level 40 it's equivalent to 55,000 damage over 18 seconds.)
