I thought that we can influence the outcome of talisman rarity by our gear IIQ, thats a shame we cant. Thats not a big problem ofcourse, but wish we were told about this from day one, i was running with IIQ gear and using IIQ support gem in vain all this time.

IQQ gem in a league? seems legit ye.

So the 100% poison talent thing won't work on essence drain right?

Right. Poison is a subset of chaos damage, but not all chaos damage is poison.

Really interesting issue for me, too. And if not, then why?:) For me, it is not "melee"

If I understand correctly, every attack Viper Strike a stackable?

From what I heard its because it wouldnt spread with contagion - that, or it wouldnt poison properly, idk. Dont take my word for it either, Ive heard it in # chat :P

So what does effect the rarity of the talisman outside of maps if the IQ doesn't?

Thankyou for agreeing to reveal the information on talisman tiers more visibly.

Poison mechanics seem cool, one question that wasn't answered:
If i support a minion with poison, do any of my passive skills (including duration) affect their poison effect? (i presume not, but with no way to see their damage, i can't tell)
