Javelin and Spear

From d2pwiki

Jab

Level Requirement: 1

Lore

Hunting in the dense rain forests of the Amazon Islands is fraught with many obstacles. Confining overgrowth and fierce indigenous animals conspire to make combat difficult, if not impossible. Early in training, Amazon spear-women must learn to overcome these conditions. By honing their hunting techniques to the point where they are able to deliver many powerful spear thrusts in rapid succession, they learn to finish off one opponent before turning to slay another. The Jab is the most basic of the skills designed to accomplish this tactic.

Stats

This skill attacks an enemy with 3 quick thrusts.

Power Strike

Level Requirement: 6

Lore

Zerae is the bride of Hefaetrus, and her dominion is vengeance and storms. If an Amazon warrior is on a mission to right a great wrong and has proven herself worthy, the goddess will empower her with the ability to add the electrical power of the mighty hurricanes of the Southern Seas to her stabbing spear attacks.

Notes

This is simply a normal attack with a small boost to Attack Rating and some additional lightning damage.

Poison Javelin

Level Requirement: 6

Lore

Amazon healers have long since ascertained the potent toxicity of their native flora. Any Amazon warrior devoted to this study is able to recognize particularly lethal strains of plant life, even while traveling in foreign lands. This knowledge allows her to create weapons from particularly virulent woods.

Synergies

Plague Javelin: +12% Poison Damage Per Level

Notes

This is one of two poison skills available to a Javazon. Remember, don't let the high poison damage impress you, at level 20 that 2900 damage is over 46 seconds which averages out to about 60 damage per second.

Impale

Level Requirement: 12

Lore

Although deftness and superior hand-eye coordination are the hallmarks of the Amazon warrior, they are also well known for the ferocity of their attacks. An experienced warrior is able to focus her fury and deliver blows so powerful that they have been known to shatter their weapon in the process.

Stats

This skill has a chance to decrease weapon durability with each use.

Notes

While this skill looks impressive on paper, it is impractical to use because if it's slowness.

Lightning Bolt

Level Requirement: 12

Lore

If an Amazon warrior has proven herself worthy, the goddess Zerae can empower her with the ability to strike down enemies by hurling javelins charged with power as if she had snatched lighting from the heavens.

Stats

This skill converts 100% weapon damage to lightning damage.

Notes

Not incredibly useful as a final main skill on it's own, it serves as a Synergy to Lightning Fury

Charged Strike

Level Requirement: 18

Lore

An Amazon devoted to the path of Zerae will be able to harness the forces of vengeance and storms. During Rites of Vengeance, Zerae will confer to the Amazon attacks that unleash a wild burst of electrical energy, striking down nearby enemies. A grizzled veteran of the Time of Troubles once said: "Spear-women walking the 'Path of Zerae' are best given wide berth, for they can be as violent and indiscriminant as the storms on the Twin Seas".

Notes

This skill has been known to drop Hell bosses in under 10 seconds. The power behind this is the fact that each bolt released has a chance to hit the same monster, which means it is excellent to use against large monsters.

Plague Javelin

Level Requirement: 18

Lore

Practiced 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.

Synergies

Poison Javelin: +10% Poison Damage Per Level

Notes

The second poison skill open to the Amazon. When synergized, this skill can deal quite a bit of damage. However like all poison damage, that is damage over time, instead of all at once like the other skills available through this tree. Though, with that said, an Amazon can unleash a large amount of poison damage pretty quickly with this skill.

Fend

Level Requirement: 24

Lore

Once an Amazon warrior has attained mastery over the spear, she can engage and destroy multiple enemies in close quarter battle. Many of those enemies will be lucky to be alive after the vicious onslaughts of these attacks have ended. Grand Mistress Celestia was able to demonstrate this ability to the Initiates of Athulua by striking down a dozen experienced warriors in the space of an arrow's flight.

Stats

This skill costs 5 mana at every level.

Notes

Simply a level 30 Zeal for the amazon. It is best to use this against multiple targets, and to use Jab against single targets, or better yet Charged Strike.

Lightning Strike

Level Requirement: 30

Lore

Through focus and intense devotion to Zerae, an experienced warrior can harness Zerae's gift of lighting to great effect. Such a warrior is able to call upon the Goddess' might to destroy her enemies, unleashing a bolt of lighting that arcs from foe to foe.

Stats

This skill fires off a bolt of lightning that jumps from target to target up to the number of hits listed below.

Synergies

Power Strike: +8% Lightning Damage Per Level

Lightning Bolt: +8% Lightning Damage Per Level

Charged Strike: +8% Lightning Damage Per Level

Lightning Fury: +8% Lightning Damage Per Level

Notes

Unleashes a bolt of Chain Lightning, somewhat like the Sorceress. However the bolt suffers from Next Delay which means that it can't damage the same monster as quickly as the amazon can fire it off.

Lightning Fury

Level Requirement: 30

Lore

Possibly the most devastating, and certainly the most spectacular, of all the techniques learned by an Amazon warrior is Lightning Fury. The High Priestess of Zerae will teach select Amazons the secret of focusing the power of the goddess, consecrating a javelin to become the ultimate weapon of vengeance. The energy contained within the javelin is so powerful that its electrical energy explodes from its stricken target, releasing bolts of lightning that strike down hapless foes nearby. Swift and powerful is the justice administered by an eminent Amazon.

Stats

This skill will only release bolts on a successful hit. So with pierce, the first javelin thrown can trigger the bolt release multiple times.

Notes

This skill is the defining skill for any Javelin-based Amazon. This will tear through hordes of enemies incredibly fast. This skill is best used with Pierce.
