rate of poisoning...

Is it like lathering poison onto a sword? or is it higher than that?

Well a bit of a late response but from what I've seen the rate is relatively low. Blessed Venom Sword, I've knocked it's durability down by 4 and I have yet to see it poison anything. I'll have to use it more though before I can really confirm anything. (Maybe I'm just unlucky)

Venom sword is glitched until next patch it seems. You can coat the venom sword with a poison bottle with... Strange effects afterwards.

So essentially...the rate of poison is 0 and what strange effects happen afterwards o-o?

The venom sword gets poisoned. But everything else gets poisoned too. Fists too. Effects last until CC

o-o...

Er, don't mean to necro, but has the poisoning been fixed yet?

Yeah, it's fixed... well... kinda, you can still lather it with poison but doesn't have the side-effect.

My venom sword never poisoned the Amethyst Golem even once, after hitting it like 100 times in the course of 15 minutes... It's CP must be so high that my rate of poisoning is like 0.1%... You'd think Devcats should have put a minimal rate of 5% chance to poison...

Afaik, CP has nothing to do with poison...

So the golem was resistant to poison then?

Yes, I already posted a response to your other thread of the golem page.

CP has an effect on the rate of poison along with poison resistance. That much is sure, based on my rate of poison and my Snake's rate of poison.

Does it? Because every monster has a specific PoisonImmune amount...

Doesn't really matter to me because the golems are 100% immune to it. Makes sense in a way because they don't have actual flesh and is made of rock most of the time.
