Does Poison Damage Charms screw Venom skill over?

[emopanda]

I need to know this, a couple of pvpers I met in a pug game said so and currently I trade about 17 175 psd sc already for my incoming assn pvper :(

And how does it exactly screw venom skill?

i think venom screws charms over.

"Venom caps the poisoning duration at 0.4 seconds, thus preventing long term poisoning. Consequently, all other items will only inflict poison damage for 0.4 seconds. Example: Though 700 damage over 10 seconds might seem impressive only 28 damage will be inflicted due to the 0.4 seconds cap. "

got this from arreat summit

ya ominaex is right
venom screws the charms over :P

I keep a long duration poison charm on my sin for that reason, if I see things turning green and staying that way, I know venom needs to be recast.

Your claws being green sort of gives it away. My venom is maxed while my BoS is level 1, whenever I switch to rebuff I rebuff both

Yeah the weapons go green unless you enchant yourself afterward.
After Frenzy-ing Eldritch and Shenk in early moments of Baal run games with my BvC (years back) my Axes turn Green and I enchant myself afterward and they become Red. =)

I tend to just run faded, my resists are maxed so really I'm only chasing a few points damage reduction and reduced curse duration, but I run a merc with a harmony bow so my walk/run speed is quick under vigor and I have enough ias to not benefit from BoS with my current gear. Faded with an eth stormlash I can't really tell if it's green from venom most of the time so the poison charm is my signal.

The poison from venom is a give-away...


That and just being used to the durations.
