Venom
Adds a Poison Bit Rate to Weapon attacks and attack Skills for the duration.
Truncates all Poison Damage source's Lengths to 10 Frames (0.4 Seconds).
This applies their total Bit Rates over a much shorter Length, drastically increasing their damage.
Venom's Bit Rate and Length are added to the lengths of Poison Dagger, Poison Javelin and Plague Javelin Javelins. (Not their clouds)
+xx% Poison Skill Damage is applied when cast and also when the Bit Rate is applied by attacks / Skills.


This means you shouldn't use poison charms with venom.

afaik poi charms still "work" after venom, they're just really nerf'd.

they have a large total amount of poi dmg, but low DPS, and a long duration. changing it to .4 seconds means you only get .4 seconds of the DPS added to your venom poi dmg, instead of 12 secs or w/e is on the charm.

you can reverse the process however, if you use a skill that has poi dmg. like poi dagger or plague java. using a charges item that has that skill.

Yeah, actually it looks like it doesn't work at all.

This is all on pala, actually, because of his name, (Pepin, that's the healer from d1, if someone remembers) so i decided that would be fun - rageous healer giving the demons the revenge using his skills with poison :D

Since grief is a physical damage weapon, you should try something else instead if you really like poison. Plague is Cham Shael Ohm in a sword, claw, or dagger and gives -23% enemy poison resistance.
