Increased Poison chance and increased poison damage is bugged

Poison seems bugged.
It doesnt seem to do damage while i do have a lot of increased poison change and damage.
I play druid btw. It does show poison chance without the increased text so Poison chance does work but when it says increase it doesnt show.
When i look at other stats i see poison chance 0.
Iam using the unique item Draalsting which has 120% - 180% poison chance.

The node of Swipe called Snake fang doesnt work.
I should get 100 increased poison chance since i took all the nodes, but my stats show that i got zero chance to poison.

Poison seems to be entirely bugged. Aswell as the poison damage which does show something but not the proper stats and poison chance seemed to be bugged.

Draalsting gives poison chance on melee hit, which is not a line on the character screen therefore it’s not included in the generic “poison chance” line. Nodes that only affect the skill they are in also don’t affect the character screen unless they say “global”, so if that node said “global chance to poison for 4 seconds after swiping”, then it would affect the character screen.

Poison chance isn’t bugged, it’s just that the character screen isn’t telling you what you think it’s telling you (it’s missing out a lot of info as there isn’t space). They do have a tooltip dps in the works which will hopefully include things like this.

Ah ok i get the chance on melee hit one.
However the global poison you say is not true.
It actually gives the feedback at the character screen if it just says chance to poison.
What is is strange though is that i dont see ingame feedback that iam actually poisoning the enemy on melee hit. While with the poison chance i actually do.

Maybe the chance to poison them is to low but i think thats not the problem.

Thanks for your message.

The graphic for poison is very faint so you’re unlikely to see it in combat. Try it on the training dummy.

I’m not sure which global poison chance I mentioned is wrong. The Snake Fangs node doesn’t give global poison chance, it only gives the Swipe skill poison chance and no skill-specific nodes show up on the character screen.

Draalsting gmdoes give global poison chance, just for melee hits only and that modifier doesn’t show up on the character screen.

This isn’t a bug.

Thats actually a good tip to try it on the dummy! Ill try it.
