I cannot find where to tell how many poison stakcs I have on an enemy.

There is a unique jewel that gives +2% increased damage per poison I have on my enemy. I am trying to find out how many poison stacks I am applying to my enemy. Please halp.

As far as I know there is no in-game display of poison stacks, but if you look at your attack speed and accuracy rating (which are both on the character sheet) you can calculate how many poison stacks you apply per second, and thus how much damage that gem is worth. Viper Strike applies poison with every attack (including things like Multistrike) so your hits/s is the exact same as your poisons/s.

Edit: Don't forget to multiply by the poison duration to find your maximum poison stacks, e.g. if you have 6 attacks per second and 90% accuracy, with Viper Strike's 8 second poisons that's a maximum of ~43 stacks on an enemy after 8 seconds of non-stop attacking.

What about an attack with GMP? If all the projectiles hit the target does this apply 5 stacks or is it the case that only one projectile can hit the target unless its chained?
Only one projectile can hit with GMP. For Fireball and Arctic Breath, the AoE's from the explosions can overlap and "shotgun" as it's called, and that will grant multiple poison stacks. For most projectiles, though, it's strictly one hit/cast.

Only one projectile can hit under normal circumstances, but there are a fair few exceptions (e.g. overlapping AoE, projectiles with different sources like TS). In those cases each hit will apply a stack.
Have you done something awesome with [url=http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Sire_of_Shards]Sire of Shards[/url]? PM me and tell me all about it!
Thanks, all though I would really like more combat log type information on this game at least you guys answered my question.

I was experimenting with applying poison to use with that viper strike unique jewel.

lol, another ignorant expectation that this is a game of any quality
You sure have a lot of supporter badges for a game with no quality.

This game has its ups and downs. Whoever is in charge of skills, balancing, and the passive tree actually did a really good job and that is why I play this game.

Its lack of combat information kinda makes me sad.
