How +% poison dmg works

[fwing]

Hey there,

How does +% poison dmg work? I'm specifically wondering about trang oul's gloves that give +25% poision dmg in conjunction with poison small charms.

For example, if I have 4 100dmg poison scs and put trang oul's on will it add another 100psn dmg (25+25+25+25) over 6 seconds? Or does this only work with say weapons that have psn dmg?

Thanks

It gives +25% to Poison Skill Damage. Which means poison damage from your skills. AFAIK it doesn't add anything to poison damage from equipment.

All of the +x% <element> damage stats do the following:
The bonus is applied to relevant skills.
The bonus is applied to relevant damage done in melee, from any source (even a skill, such as venom and enchant).

EDIT: just some extra bits:
-The elemental damage % bonuses work the same way as masteries, which is why fire and lightning sorceresses don't get much benefit from them.

hmm i'm a bit confused. i have a bunch of psn sc's on my zon and when i throw on trangs the dmg skyrockets cuz of the mod. is this just misleading then?

Yes. The +elemental damage% mod is broken with ranged weapon damage.
