So Chaos damage can not Poison on Critical Strike?
So i whas using my main attack with Added Chaos damage suport gem, as build is heavy on crtitcal strike it whas strange to me i dont see a poison on enemy.
So this day i decided i stop blindly belive it worck and strated testing. Using this new uniqu item in the test so ther is no mistake if i crit or not. Frst i used Cyclone + Added Chaos damage + Incrised Critical strike damage Gone to Sarn attacked monsters and poison whas just not there. When i used Cyclone + Added Chaos + Poison gem it whas obvious how mach DPS difrence ther whas. I whas looking on the Wiki and for some reson i dont see they even mention now that Critical strike with Chaos damage poison enemy. Is it strange or what? Have they changed this or i whas miss informed for so long? Last edited by nEVER_BoRN#3512 on Mar 16, 2016, 4:48:25 PM Last bumped on Mar 17, 2016, 8:13:08 AM

This has never been the case, I'm afraid. In order to poison you need something that explicitly causes it.

You don't have support Ignite/Shock/Freeze, I mean not 100%. Chaos has support gem which gives 100% chance to poison, but instead no criticals. It's not ailment, it's a bit different from chaos damage itself.

That has never been said and never been true. You must have misinterpreted.

" It is wery posible that i mistaken it for Chaos and Phusical damage CAN poison. Its wery strange for me now, bit confused probably becouse stats alignments mechanic make me assume it be that way. I still dont see whay it should not tho. (Brain explode xD) Last edited by nEVER_BoRN#3512 on Mar 16, 2016, 5:07:37 PM

Poison is not a status ailment and will not apply with chaos critical strike.
Status ailment are applied with elemental damage, chaos is not one. Poison and bleeding are similar, they are dots effects applied by skills, or nodes/uniques. Physical damage has no status ailment. Chaos has no status ailment. Ways to poison are : % chance to poison in tree, uniques with chance to poison or poison on hit, poison gem, viper strike attack gem. I will never be good but always I try to improve.

Chaos dosnt poison on crit and Phys damage dosnt cause bleeding on crit either, Its only elemental abilities that cause status ailments on crit.

"poison is based on 10% of source chaos and/or physical damage, for 2s. This, I believe, is what you misunderstood. But as other mentioned, you still need a way to inflict the poison status. Ranger builds list: /917964

Is the OP thinking of Adder's Touch (tree notable, poison on dagger crit)?
That existed long before the poison rework and was really the only way to poison at all. |
