Poison Skill Damage

Diablo II Notation Basic Class Skill Item Ally Quest Area Monster Tale Attribute Unit Animation Attack Damage Death Crushing Blow Enhanced Minimum Maximum Adds Damage Damage + % Damage to Demons to Undead Deadly Strike Magic Fire Lightning Cold Poison Skill Damage ATD/ATLD DR/MDR Resistance Maximum Enemy Resist Immune Absorb Fire Skill Damage Lightning Skill Damage Cold Skill Damage Poison Skill Damage +% Poison Skill Damage applies a percentage increase to any poison skill damage (after any synergy bonus), or poison damage added to any melee attacks of the user. When present on two weapons, the percentages of both are summed and applied to skill damage, and attack damage of either weapon when using a melee attack. It applies to skill damage applied by missiles when created, and other damage when applied. If there is a delay between skill usage and missile creation (as there can be with Poison Javelin and Plague Javelin clouds, and Rabies contagion missiles) or skill usage and damage (as with Venom), swapping weapons or other items to apply a higher percentage can result in more damage. [1] Character screen displays it being applied to ranged attack damage, but this is not actually the case. [2] That equipped by the user does not apply to pets summoned by that user, so it does not apply to Poison Creeper or Necromages; this includes any poison attack damage of Blade Sentinel, despite what is displayed by the character screen. [3] It applies to Venom skill damage when cast (before it is added to any attack), then again when using a melee attack. For example, equipping Trang-Oul's Claws Heavy Bracers applies +25% PSD to level 15 Venom when cast: Min rate (1/256)0 = 7808 * (100+25) /100 = 7808*1.25 = 9760 Max rate (1/256)0 = 8320 * (100+25) /100 = 8320*1.25 = 10400 Source Poison Damage Rate (1/256) Frames Min Max Seconds Min Max Toxic Small Charm of Anthrax 313 313 11.00 291 291 275 Blackbog's Sharp Cinquedeas 488 488 10.00 500 500 250 Perfect Emerald 100 100 7.16 143 143 179 Level 15 Venom 305 325 0.40 9760 10400 10 Total 10694 11334 10 Level 30 Poison Dagger 12,383 12,909 13.60 9324 9720 340 +25% PSD is now applied separately to total attack damage added by items and Venom, and Poison Dagger skill damage, resulting in the following poison damage over 14 ( (340+10) /25) seconds: Min rate (1/256)0 = (10694 * (100+25) /100) + (9324 * (100+25) /100) = (10694*1.25) + (9324*1.25) = 13367+11655 = 25022 Min poison = 350 * 25022/256 = 34,209 Max rate (1/256)0 = (11334 * (100+25) /100) + (9720 * (100+25) /100) = (11334*1.25) + (9720*1.25) = 14167+12150 = 26317 Max poison = 350 * 26317/256 = 35,980 Item Any socket Value Source Min Rlvl Ladder +(3-5)% Rainbow Facet Jewel 49 No Body armor Value Source Min Rlvl Ladder +25-50% Bramble body armor 61 No Gloves Value Source Min Rlvl Ladder +25% Trang-Oul's Claws Heavy Bracers 45 No Reference Onderduiker, Monster Resistances and Immunities Guide (D2 Technical)
