Vine Arrow Damage When Poisoned

Post most recent patch :

Damage tested on the Ice Witch in Clearfell. Poison Gas Arrow one use (6 stacks of poison) does around 70,000 alone. Shooting vine arrow into the cloud increases this damage to about 79,000. 1 use of vine arrow by itself not poisoned does minimal (around 1,000). This seems to indicate the plant can only do 1 stack of poison currently even with additional stack nodes in the passive tree active.

Before Patch :

I don't have numbers, but I had lower level 13 Vine Arrow skill gem that was doing some damage by itself, but when in the Poison Gas Arrow poison cloud it was seemingly doubling the gas clouds damage. It felt like the poison was stacking on the plant rather than being limited to only 1 stacks worth of damage increase.

Not sure if this is a bug, or if the plant is intended to not scale with poison stack increases in the passive tree.

Also as always, the plant still does not slow.

Hi,

you can see different debuff on enemy affected by vine so its not poison (which is good since its almost like another stack of poison therefore more dmg) and i belive, it boosts 1 of the stacks of the poisons - that´s the worst version of wording of the skill...same as hexblast which they corrected now, so wording here should be too corrected to properly state what it does (it doesnt boost all the psn stacks on enemies) without slow its kinda waste of cast.
