Venom and added Poison

[Dagni]

Well, either a bug or a "feature" by someone who didn't really understand poison.

Or a feature by someone who DID understand poison. :P

I mean, I disagree. :)

Since Venom is the only source of high poison damage that has a tiny duration, if it's duration were averaged with poison charms then one could massively improve Venom's damage with charms that did *0* damage over 2+ seconds. That would defeat the whole point of having the short duration. It would simply become an added poison charm requirement for best use.

A skill is not meant to reduce your poison damage when you have lots of poison charms equipped.

Even if it did work like before, it might still lower your total damage, at least at slvl 1, since it would still lower the total duration a little. And it does increase your poison damage a lot, it just has to be reapplied much more frequently.
