Lesion

The Lesion is an Infested polearm based off the Tipedo. Upon inflicting a Status Effect on its target, the Lesion gains bonuses to its Attack Speed and guaranteed  procs, which coupled with its primary focus on damage makes it a dangerous weapon against lightly-armored targets.

This weapon can be sold for.

Trivia

 * A Lesion is any abnormal damage or change in an organism's tissue, usually the result of injury or disease. It is derived from the Latin word laesio, which simply means "injury".
 * Though looking quite similar to the Tipedo (The Lesion's crafting component) in design and length, the Lesion uses Polearm stances while the Tipedo is a staff.
 * The Lesion has a non-static model; the "jaws" of the weapon close when not actively equipped, will open upon being wielded, and without a Stance equipped, the jaws will visibly "bite" on the thrusting second and fourth strikes of the combo.

Tips

 * Try building status chance and attack speed to stack and procs, which deal large amounts of DoT through shields.
 * Virulent Scourge is an excellent mod to keep pure damage and increase proc chance.
 * Consider using Lasting Sting to increase the total damage done by DoT's.
 * Synergizes well with Saryn: her passive increases the duration of Status procs by 25% (adding to their total damage) and Toxic Lash guarantees procs along while adding even more damage.
