Viper Strikes poison is weaker then the support gem?

Poison is a 10% of phys/chaos over *2 seconds*
Viper strikes poisons are 10% over *8 seconds* "Skill Functions and Interactions Viper Strike applies Poison on hit that unlike the default lasts 8 seconds. Viper Strike specifically overrides the poison duration with its own base skill duration." Doesn't this mean viper strikes Poison DPS is much lower then say default poison/poison support gem? Please correct me if I am wrong, but there is no value in having a longer poison duration? |

You've gotten a little mixed up. Poison deals 10% of the hit's phys/chaos damage per second for two seconds. Viper Strike is the same for 8, making it much stronger on high-life mobs.

ahh thnaks,
Also another question. can poison apply two instances at the same time? for example poison on hit from viper strike + snake bite gauntlets "at max frenzy charges attacks poison on hit" Does this apply 2 instances of poison from 1 hit? and can you go even further eg, adders touch. 3 poison instances on 1 hit. |

Nope. Max one stack per hit. Source.
