I was using greater talon and shield and was throwing traps way faster than 2x gt with 42ias in lod

Edit:

Since PvP application is what I'm most interested in, does applying venom at 2 or 3 frames per attack result in the damage duration constantly resetting at every application or is every 2-3 frame attack just applying physical/cb/ow and then venom on the next attack done... what like 10 frames later?

If it resets at every application then it's doing instead of the listed damage which would last .4 of 25 frames = 10 frames so you divide it down to 2 frames of damage? In Normal of course, and double duration in Hell since nobody is really using PLR usually. But if the duration is longer and you reset every 2 frames, then it would be less in Hell?

plr has the same reduction as resistances in nm/hell. -100% plr in hell so psn length will be doubled if you have no plr

e/ saw goomshill already got there my bad

every time you deal poison damage to a target, it deals 1 frame of that poison's damage per frame as damage that can kill, then if its a higher DPS than the current DPS on that target, it overwrites both its DPS and duration. If its lower, it does nothing.
venom rolls a damage range on each hit, so if you hit the same target with venom multiple times in a row, its a decreasing chance starting at 50% to overwrite the previous poison. Any lower damage rolls won't overwrite it.
generally venom has such a short duration and hitchecks are usually applied at most at 4 frame intervals for whirlwind and you need to worry about block/defense making actual connecting hits far less frequent, so you don't "lose" much venom damage from it (not stacking, randomly not refreshing duration)

this was too complicated for me to understand

venom go brrr

Ok so it really is going to be re-applying every 2 frames... sometimes, as long as the range rolls higher than the previous application. If it's usually a 10 frame application... let's say you have level 40 doing 1075-1095 over 10 frames. If you reduce it to 2 frames it's 215 to 219 damage every ~about~ 2 frames as long as new hit rolls higher than old hit.

Yea firewall deals way more damage now, something weird is going on with DoT dmg and bps.

probably if you hit again while psn duration is active psn will re-apply, but maybe not also. because of the dmg range on venom. if venom dmg range is 350-450, and first hit is 400, if 2nd hit is 399 the duration will not reset. If 2nd hit is 401, duration resets. That's how I understood it anyways. That's just for venom. The key factor being that in psn dmg per sec, greater psn dmg per sec overrides, less psn dmg per sec does not. This is how I am understanding goomshill's post, but correct me if I am wrong

I've been saying blizzard feels way more consistent in d2r than legacy.
