Description
From a gameplay standpoint, When a Druid utilizes this ability, he toxifies his own saliva and attacks his enemies with a vicious bite, spreading a contagious disease that wracks the flesh of his infected opponents.
Key details
- Rabies is a very lethal attack.
- It constantly hits the afflicted player with poison damage about every second.
- Thus, once the target reaches 1 hp, Rabies' next cycle kills the player.
- The Rabies "aura" cannot be destroyed.
- Because the source of the poison is untouchable, all the antidotes in the game will not cure Rabies directly.
D2Emu Tips
- Patch 2.4: Rabies Attack Rating bonus increased from +7% to +10% per level Poison Creeper synergy increased from 18% to 20%.
- Once the Rabies state has been applied to a target, it cannot be overwritten i.e. if a target is bitten with level 14 Rabies and then bitten again with level 21 Rabies, the state will still last for the remaining length of level 14 Rabies.
- Venom: Skill will not cut poison length when paired with the skills: Poison Dagger Rabies Poison Javelin Plague Javelin.
- Both skills have a slightly faster attack speed than a standard Attack.
