Poison Javelin is an Amazon Skill in Diablo II.

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.

Clouds in game

This skill causes thrown javelins to deal poison damage and leave a trail of poison clouds. It does not affect melee strikes.

Generally, without a high-level Pierce, targeting just near enemies rather than directly is more effective.  When the poison javelin misses, it will just pass by them, but still leave a poison cloud which can still poison the nearby monster. This becomes less of an issue with Pierce, which causes thrown javelins to pass through enemies and maintain their poison trail.

While Plague Javelin does significantly more damage per second, and has a large area of effect (especially compounded with Pierce), it has a long delay; Poison Javelin deals greater numbers of total damage over a much longer period of time, but has a far shorter delay so its area of effect trails can be placed more often.

Generally, against groups of opponents that are likely to run away (e.g. Fallen), this skill is better than Plague Javelin.
