I’ve been playing a lich recently and using Aura of Decay. It’s a lot of fun. Just wondering what TYPES of damage effect poison’s damage. I’m sure poison % does, but does intelligence, damage over time, or spell damage effect poison’s damage?
all of those except spell damage should work for AoD lich.
ailments inherit the damage increase of the stat related to the skill, so if a skill gets 4% damage per point of intelligence and 4% per point of attunement (or something to that effect) then both of those stats would affect the damage of poisons dealt by that skill. most skills only have 1 related stat, but some have 2 which is why i mention it.
edit: also important for scaling ailments – ailment chance… over 100% chance gives a chance at an additional stack per hit, over 200% guarantees 2 and gives a chance at a 3rd, etc.
Will the increases to AoD’s poison effect the damage the self inflicted poison do to me?
Yup. Also, any generic modifiers on the proccing skill tree will be inherited by the ailment as well, so an ignite your be affected be any generic % more damage or %fire/DoT damage modifiers.
