Development Manifesto - Enhancing Poison - Forum

" Lord_Kamster wrote: So if Poison Arrow won't be affected, this means that it'll scale with the same sources of damage, right? Damage Over Time, Projectile, Area Damage, Damage, and Chaos Damage? I just spent 20 ex on a perfect jewel, and was planning to get more. But don't want to keep doing so if any of these will change. Aside from this, this is exciting news, I love DoT effects and if done well, this could be very satisfying to play. They're only renaming Poison Arrow so there shouldn't be any worries about your jewels being wrong. " Rupenus wrote: dont break something in pvp meta please. :) you hear me devs? dont! I dunno about breaking the meta, but chances are it will shift the meta a bit. Instead of poison builds trying to get the one big hit they'll want to get as many stacks as possible if all poison sources can stack.

Thanks Rory, looking forward to trying this out as soon as it's ready. Gameplay-wise, I have two questions: 1. How will this mechanic distinguish itself from Ignite builds? 2. How do you plan to present this mechanic such that players would be incentivized to invest into poison rather than more direct damage?

Can't wait to see the new builds that'll come from this :D Btw I suppose that's just a mock up image but aren't those new poison nodes going exactly over some old trap nodes? Are they being replaced or does that indicate you guys are doing something neat with traps too at the moment?	Posted by Chups_ on Oct 18, 2015, 11:39:49 PM Quote this Post
Poison should stay damage over time, it does not fit theme to stack poison .. just imo I am just used to games having DOT spells refresh timer instead of stacking with the same type of damage, I will wait and see how this goes I can be spotted wondering Wraeclast Last edited by TheGreenGhost on Oct 19, 2015, 2:34:09 AM	Posted by TheGreenGhost on Oct 18, 2015, 11:44:31 PM Quote this Post

If they're getting entirely replaced chances are they're not being used much. But it is just a mockup so things can definitely change.
