Quote:He can do a vicious poison attack. It was noted in the Beta that some of the poison attacks from that class of creature seem in line with what you might expect but the occasional attack is Achmael/Coldworm quality and is likely to send you back to town on one hit point after drinking 4 reds
This extreme poison I have seen on several occasions. I'll be moving along in act2 at a normal pace(several diff characters), with good to mid poison resist, and every once in a while get hit with a poison that does several healing potions worth of damage. Often the damage is faster than potions can heal. I never noticed anything special about how I got the poison(perhaps a mummy, perhaps a pile of goo, but it certainly left an impression as I ran to town after drinking all my potions.
