Usage
Pestilence fires three bolts, with one aimed directly on the mouse cursor and one to either side with an approximate 15% offset. These bolts are capable of each striking the same target when fired at point-blank range, which results in the first bolt dealing damage and applying Amplify for the second bolts. This can result in an effectively 140% damage blast in melee range, while also leaving the target vulnerable via the Amplify to a follow-up strike. Unmentioned in the tooltip, Pestilence contains two spell charges. This means your first Pestilence burst can be potentially followed up by a second, which if all three bolts land again would result in a 150% damage burst.
