Hey all! Been away a while, but I'm back in business what with all this free time and reliable internet service over the jolly ol' holidays. I had a quick question to the panel:

Does Venom's damage add to the cloud/trail effect of Poison/Plague Javelin, or only to the damage dealt with the strike? And if it adds damage to the strike, how does that damage interact with duration etc.?

Poison seems to be one of the most confusing damage types in the game, but it would be interesting to find out if Treachery could help out a Poi-zon.

Happy frickin' holidays, people! :xmas27:

dunno about plaguezone, but in my eyes venom makes any poison go over .04 sec so prolly with plaguezone also you could just test it as treachery ain't a expensive runeword :xmas1:

But the pdagger poison is delivered by a physical attack

the clouds coming off of the plague/poison javelin are not delivered by a physical attack

shouldn't venom only have an effect on the poison delivered by a target actually hit by the javelin ?

Exactly - and the answer is, I have no idea. Is there anyone out there who could test?

I'm no expert, but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night -- or rather I've done my homework on Venom. Poison damage from venom will be carried on the javelin itself, but not the cloud. Furthermore, venom reduces all poison durations to 0.4 seconds, but does not affect the rate, so as it stands you wouldn't want it to be applied to the cloud. This information I found ... elsewhere.
