poison damage charms and the bow

[Virility]

As I read more on poison damage resetting with each arrow, I am begining to rethink the usefulness of carrying around these things. I use strafe as my primary attack, so many arrows hitting the same targets within a second...how useful is 600 pd over 6 sec when the timer resets each arrow?

The green color does give me a visual of something actually happening..but beyond that....I dunno.

Opinions?

You're right, the poison timer just resets each time an arrow hits, so poison damage on strafers isn't that useful for any other purposes other than stopping monster regeneration.

don't bother with poison on a pvm zon, won't help you much at all
poison is used on some pvp bowzon builds but in that case you need a lot of it
