Venom Vipers Damage

[muzyk]

Seriously, these guys can do a hell of alot of damage, you know the Venom Vipers(i think thats their names), you know the vipers in Halls Of Vaught around Nithaltak.

I run him with my hammerdin and he has arond 1600 life (i dont have bo) and 75 all resist in hell, and 26% dr with shako and string, and still when i stand in their poison cloud for about 2 seconds i am down to almost no health, abit longer then 3 seconds and i die.

So to my question now, Does anyone know exacly how much dmg their poision does?

It isn't poison, it is physical damage, so that is why Poison Resist doesnt help. Damage % reduction is what helps. Their damage is in the thousands also.

Aye, it's a known bug. The Tomb Viper's poison spear attack adds the physical damage to the poison radius, frame by frame. Also, the poison lingers after it's visually disappeared for about 2 more seconds, meaning you'll still get damaged even though it's apparently dispersed.

ye i noticed the fact that i still get hurt after it disapears becuse i would be walking through an area of where it was justa a while ago and while there is nothing there the pally would make the ow ow ow sounds as if it is being hit

If you stand still you will only get poison damage. Its when you run/walk through the cloud (or jump over it for a barb) that you will get the physical damage. My barb has almost 4k life 75/75/75/55 resists and good damage reduction but im still careful when i see them around. I stay at the same place when they throw their poison, waiting for them to charge me/walk to me if i wanna kill them. Otherwise i just run around. Happily, they seems to have low life.

Yes, they ain't that tough, but the trickiest part is to get close enough to them without dying :lol: ! I think casters have an advantage over melee against these Vipers. My Summoner usually raises some Archers (Revives) to deal with Vipers. It works pretty well, since my Skeletons usually die pretty fast from them ...
