Poison DMG VS Chaos DMG
|
So, I'm eyeing this new Fatal Toxin node on the skill tree.
What skills exactly are POISON, what are CHAOS? What skills will benefit from this node? This question includes the upcoming chaos skills as well. |

Well as i understand it Poison damage will apply only to skill that will be tagged as "Poison" skills ( and other means of applying poison such as adder's touch) , and chaos damage will apply both to skills tagged as "Chaos" and tagged as "Poison". I might be wrong though.

burning deal fire damage over time
posion deal chaos damage over time " Fatal toxin is like burning nodes. Fatal toxin increase posion damage over time but not Chaos damage. Fatal toxin work with every skils/items that cause posion status ailment. You can find what poison can be inflicted by here: http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Poison "Is there such a thing as an absolute, timeless enemy? There is no such thing, and never has been. And the reason is that our enemies are human beings like us. They can only be our enemies in relative terms." Last edited by kamil1210#5432 on Dec 7, 2015, 7:09:14 AM

Remember that poison cause chaos damage as burning cause fire damage so buffing chaos will buff poison damages as well.

" Christ, so that poison cluster is +125% damage for Caustic Arrow. Hrm, must do theory crafting then. |

I'm pretty sure that Caustic Arrow won't cause poison effect to occur it will just create a chaos DoT cloud that's it.

" Posion arrow will probably also get huge nerf "Is there such a thing as an absolute, timeless enemy? There is no such thing, and never has been. And the reason

Poison damage is a subtype of chaos damage, similar to how burning damage and fire damage are related. Poison damage is going to be created as a percentage of the hit damage some phys/chaos skills do, such as Viper Strike.
Caustic Arrow is not poison damage, it's not generated by a phys/chaos hit. Hence the renaming. Abyssal Cry is not poison damage either. | |
