Hello! I've played plenty of necromancers in the past, but never focused on a poison necro build. I realize that it isn't the most efficient, but I'd like to give it a try. That being said, I have a few questions:


#1. Do any of the poison skills stack damage?
If I had a poison cloud on the ground from Poison Explosion, then hit a monster with Poison Dagger, and then used Poison Nova; would it deal more damage with the three skills activated or would only the highest damaging skill take effect?


#2. Venom + Poison Dagger?
I saw in an old post that the normally short duration of Venom is overridden and that damage is instead applied over the duration of Poison Dagger. So a lvl 15 Venom (315 psn dmg over 0.4 seconds) would become 7,560 psn dmg over 9.6 seconds if paired with a lvl 20 Poison Dagger. Does anyone know if that is true?


#3. Is there any use for Poison Explosion?
I hate to see a 20 point skill investment that is less useful than a 1 point Corpse Explosion, but is that the case? Has anyone had success with this skill before?


Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Okay, I’ll aim for poison nova instead.
