When i play with my javazone in baalruns, i often have to antidote potions because of the poison which i made by some monsters at cleaning throne and at wave2.

My question: Is there any breakpoint for %poisonlength reduced? if yes, which?
Or if i have 100% poisonlength reduced on my equipment i will be poisoned for 0 seconds?

I have a 75%poisonlength reduced 4sox armor, in which i would build 20/20 light (atm using 100life 20/20 light) if it works well. The missing 25% i would get from boots.

I don't know about being able to completely reduce poison damage, but you have to remember that you suffer from an additional +100% poison length in hell mode.

No. It works like a resistance and suffers the same -100 penalty in hell as all other resists.

So in Hell you have a base of -100. Your +100% will only take you to zero, same as it would any other resistance.

It is capped at +75% and there is no way to increase the max, so you will always take at least 0.25 x the poison length damage at least.

True.

The poison length can only be reduced, however never gone.
