Poison damage

Hello everyone,

Have a short and easy question, is poison an elemental damage ?
In the passive skill tree if I grab the ele dmg nodes , would be increase the poison dmg to ?

Thanks for your answers.

Poison is not even a damage type, it's a status effect that does chaos damage over time (and there are effects that do chaos over time and are not poison).

So, to increase the damage that poison status does you have three options - in general case it means getting increased chaos damage, damage over time or generic damage bonuses. Also, you can use AoE damage or projectile damage boosts if poison resulted from an AoE or projectile effect.
