¹Holy Thunder is not listed because its poison damage is from the TAL rune only, which is a different source than the rune word.
²Venom will also have poison damage from the TAL rune. Count each as a separate source.
³Set bonuses count as their own source. Full set poison damage may display incorrect information.
⁴The rate and length are added together for items with a poison prefix and suffix, making one poison source. If the combined length exceeds 255 frames, the display will show the item as if the duration were 255 frames. However, actual damage will be calculated correctly.
⁵Pestilent small charms are only dropped by Baal and Nihlatak in hell.
