Max psn damage sc

[Jamiroquai]

What's the max psn damage a sc can spawn with? If there is already a thread for this, and I wouldn't be surprised if there is, point me towards it. This is over 10 secs and not 6 like on the lesser psn scs right?

451 poison damage over 12 seconds (The Pestilent Small Charm of Anthrax)

[Jamiroquai]

Could Orphan or someone explain how a sc can spawn that high? Does it get the pestilent prefix twice and the anthrax suffix twice? It just sounds hacked, maybe that's just because they're very rare. Idk, anyone who could explain this phenomenon please feel free.

Although each poison affix is listed as x damage over y time its easier to think of as damage rate over times.
the time when 2 affixes spawn is the total time so each one has more time to do damage. As the rates are added together the damage over time steps up again.
easiest way to show is just basic use of the affixes
pestilent: 175 over 6 = 29.17 per sec
anthrax: 50 over 6 = 8.33 per sec
total duration = 12 sec
total rate = 29.17+8.33 = 37.5 per sec
total damage over 12 secs = combined rate *12 = 37.5*12=450 over 12.
This isn't the exact way its calculated as each of the '175 over 6' is just an approximation for something called bite damage which is frames based rather than the rounded seconds based.
Although strictly speaking its wrong, its easier to see exactly where it comes from this way and i dont have the bites/s to hand :)
I am sure someone will supply the bites info for you in a bit.

edit:
pestilent bite/frame = 299
anthrax bire/frame = 86
frames 150 each = 300 total
total bite rate = 385 over 300 frames = 385*300= 115500 bites in 300 frames (aka 12 seconds, 25frames=1sec)
256bites=1hp so its 115500/256 = 451 over 12 as on the sc

ToThePoint has the right method.

Note that if both poison sources are on the same item (eg. The Pestilent small charm of Anthrax) then they are calculated differently then if they were on seperate sources (ie a poison small charm and a poison weapon).

I made a post on this before, so rather than retyping how it's done I'll just link to the other thread: http://forums.diabloii.net/showthread.php?t=434029
