View source for Amazon Javelin and Spear Skills

{{Amazon Skills}}The Amazon's Javelin and Spear skills cover a variety of melee and ranged attacks, adding damage, elemental attacks, speed, and more to the character's combat repertoire. 

All of the skills in this tree require a javelin or spear equipped. None of them can be used with other types of weapons, not even the melee attacks, much to the chagrin of various sword-wielding variants.


=Jab=
'''Required Level:''' 1<br />
'''Prerequisites:''' None<br />
'''Synergies:''' None<br>
'''Details:''' Jab is a rapid triple attack to the same monster. The low mana cost and high accuracy of this make it a very useful melee skill. It works well with spears or javelins. Even with the initial damage penalty it's still quite a bit better than a plain attack for the speed bonus. Lots of points in Jab are not recommended unless it will be your main skill, since the damage increases are so low per point.
* In early versions of the game, weapon speed was ignored with this skill, and it was devastating early on with any pike. Weapon speed is now factored in and a fast weapon is essential.

=Power Strike=
'''Required Level:''' 6<br />
'''Prerequisites:''' Jab<br />
'''Requires:''' A spear or javelin equipped.<br>
'''Synergies:''' Points in the following skills increase Power Strike's damage.
* Lightning Bolt: +10% Lightning Damage Per Level
* Charged Strike: +10% Lightning Damage Per Level
* Lightning Strike: +10% Lightning Damage Per Level
* Lightning Fury: +10% Lightning Damage Per Level
'''Details:''' Power Strike is a melee strike that deals big lightning damage to a single target. There is a considerably attack rating bonus as well.
* This skill was useless before v1.10. Now in v1.11 it's got potential thanks to all of the synergies, though most Spearazons prefer Charged Strike since it can damage multiple targets as well as kill a single monster.

=Poison Javelin=
'''Casting Delay:''' 0.5 Seconds<br />
'''Required Level:''' 6<br />
'''Synergies:'''
* Plague Javelin: +12% Poison Damage Per Level
'''Prerequisites''': None<br />
'''Details:''' This skill turns a thrown javelin into a poison delivery system, dealing poison damage to the target and leaving a cloud of poisonous gas behind the javelin that will sicken monsters that walk through it.
* The high damage numbers are deceptive, since they work over such a long time that the damage per second is not at all impressive.

=Impale=
'''Required Level:''' 12<br />
'''Prerequisites:''' Jab<br />
'''Synergies:''' None. <br>
'''Details:''' Impale is a single-hit melee attack with very high damage and attack rating bonuses. On the downside, it is a very slow strike, can be interrupted, and causes huge durability loss to the weapon.

=Lightning Bolt=
'''Required Level:''' 12<br />
'''Prerequisites:''' Poison Javelin<br />
'''Synergies:''' Points in these skills boost the damage of Lightning Bolt:
* Power Strike: +3% Lightning Damage Per Level
* Charged Strike: +3% Lightning Damage Per Level
* Lightning Strike: +3% Lightning Damage Per Level
* Lightning Fury: +3% Lightning Damage Per Level
'''Details:''' This throwing skill turns a javelin into a sizzling bolt of lightning. 
* This skill initially added a bit of lightning damage to the usual javelin damage. It's since been modified, and now converts 100% of physical damage to lightning damage, plus the listed lightning damage. It can be useful to deal with physical immune monsters.

=Charged Strike=
'''Required Level:''' 18<br />
'''Prerequisites:''' Jab, Poison Javelin, Power Strike, Lightning Bolt<br />
'''Synergies:''' Points in the following skills add substantially to Charged Strike's damage.
* Power Strike: +10% Lightning Damage Per Level
* Lightning Bolt: +10% Lightning Damage Per Level
* Lightning Strike: +10% Lightning Damage Per Level
* Lightning Fury: +10% Lightning Damage Per Level
'''Details:''' A melee attack that sends out Charged Bolts. This skill is deceptively powerful, just like the Sorceress' Charged Bolt skill, since while the damage of each bolt isn't much, the skill sends out a tremendous number of them at higher levels. (Many more than the description would lead you to believe.)

=Plague Javelin=
'''Casting Delay:''' 4 Seconds<br />
'''Required Level:''' 18<br />
'''Prerequisites:''' Poison Javelin, Lightning Bolt<br />
'''Synergies:'''
* Poison Javelin: +10% Poison Damage Per Level
'''Details:''' Plague Javelin adds poison damage to thrown javelins. The projectile leaves a trail of poison gas behind it, and successful hits create a huge exploding cloud of smoke that will poison every monster that moves through it. 
* An awesomely fun skill to use when playing solo, especially on crowds; the poison damage isn't sufficient to kill quickly in larger games.

'''Synergies:''' Points in the following skills will boost the lightning damage of this skill.
* 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
'''Details:''' A melee attack that sends out a shot of Chain Lightning that can bounce back and forth between multiple targets.
* This skill is extremely powerful against mid-sized groups of monsters, but less useful against huge mobs. It's almost useless against single targets.

=Lightning Fury=
'''Required Level:''' 30<br />
'''Prerequisites:''' Poison Javelin, Lightning Bolt, Plague Javelin<br />
'''Synergies:''' Points in the following skills will boost the lightning damage of this skill:
* Power Strike: +1% Lightning Damage Per Level
* Lightning Bolt: +1% Lightning Damage Per Level
* Charged Strike: +1% Lightning Damage Per Level
* Lightning Strike: +1% Lightning Damage Per Level
'''Details:''' Lightning Fury enchants a thrown javelin to release multiple bolts of lightning, one at each monster in range, when the javelin strikes a monster.  This is the most powerful skill in the entire game, when used against a large mob of monsters. The more targets in range, the stronger Lightning Fury is.
* [[Passive_and_Magic#Pierce|Pierce]] works wonderfully with LF, since the spell will trigger each time it hits a target, or hits a solid object (such as a wall) after passing through a target. A very high level of Pierce is highly recommended for Javazons using this skill.
* A detailed description of how LF works, including screenshots, can be seen in [http://www.diabloii.net/strategy/x-guides/javazon_Flux1.shtml#lf-works this strategy guide].
