Description

One of the new 2.4 Runewords, Plague is well suited to Act 3 and Act 5 mercenaries, and requires the comparatively under-utilised
Cham
high rune to craft. Enemy Poison Resistance affix, as well as
Lower Resist
proc make it suitable for
Rabies
druids. Placed in a Claw-class weapon, it can be used to amplify the effects of the
Venom: Skill
.

Now that this runeword is confirmed for claw type weapons, Plague can be used to potentially make + 5
Lightning Sentry
Claws
with a + 3 automod and + 2 to all skills White claw type weapon. However this item still falls short of magic
Claws
that can spawn an additional quickness suffix (+40% increased attack speed) and roll 2 sockets from the
Larzuk
socket quest.

The most powerful feature of this new recipe is
Lower Resist
proc. While Infinity your merc is wielding cannot cut some fire immunities alone (minotaurs and Lister pack at wsk/throne) - this added curse will do the trick, making this weapon a hooray for fire assy builds.
Tiger Strike
+
Dragon Tail
, for example 🙂

Update: Dual Plague swords at a5 merc - for infi-wielding spearzons (charged+light strike). Awesome roast, very handy farmer.

Plague was ladder only during Patch 2.4 and Patch 2.5 (Ladder Season 1 & 2). Since Patch 2.6 (Ladder Season 3) it is possible to create Plague in non-ladder.

An interesting alternative to Fury when used in conjunction with Chaos, given Plague is placed in a fast claw such as the Runic Talon. Such a combination would allow
Whirlwind
Assassins to place a greater emphasis on the
Venom: Skill
as a component of the build's damage output.

A slvl 12
Lower Resist
has the following effects:
Radius (yards): 12

% Resist All: -57

A slvl 15
Poison Nova
has the following effects:
Poison Damage Min: 268
Poison Damage Max: 309
Poison Duration (seconds): 2

A slvl 13
Cleansing
aura has the following effects:
Radius (yards): 26.6
Curse and Poison duration reduced by 75% per pulse (1 pulse per 2 seconds)

A slvl 17
Cleansing
aura has the following effects:
Radius (yards): 33
Curse and Poison duration reduced by 78% per pulse (1 pulse per 2 seconds)

A slvl 34
Cleansing
aura (obtainable by a Barbarian or Assassin dual-wielding Plague) has the following effects:
Radius (yards): 54.7
Curse and Poison duration reduced by 86% per pulse (1 pulse per 2 seconds)

A budget alternative to decrease the elemental resistances if you cannot afford Infinity. Make a Plague in an Act 5 merc in a
Phase Blade
. It reduces the poison resistance. Infinity doesn’t.

One of the best weapons for
Poison Dagger
, rivaling
Blackbog's Sharp
- if only this skill was ever used...

A superior use for Plague (3s PB) is the
Frenzy
Barb (Merc of A5) with Plague for
Lower Resist
and
Cleansing
, in combination with
Azurewrath
(
Ber
/
Shael
/
Amn
) is best in slot to use.
Lawbringer is a fair alternative for
Azurewrath
, but
Decrepify
will constantly overwrite/exchange
Lower Resist
, kind a annoing. Still, Lawbringer is better if you like to go for
Nihlathak


Easy run the FoH-Paladin with
Redemption
/
Vigor
Aura only, to save skillpoints for
Smite
/
Fist of the Heavens
dual build (special items needed).
Lower Resist
with -57% can compensate
Conviction
against low resistant enemies, just for the Lightning Damage of
Fist of the Heavens
, if you plan to go that dual build.

Alternativly it's superior additive to full FoH build with max
Conviction
plus
Lower Resist
!
Nothing will resist that combo - even without Sundercharm!
