Question about Poison damages

Hey guys!

Could someone here please head over to:

http://diablo2.diablowiki.net/Talk:Necromancer_Poison_and_Bone

And try to answer this question:

Poison damage does not stack with multiple attacks, but resets each time to the most recent poison-based attack

How sure are you about this? As far as I know, only a higher DPS poison attack will over-write existing poison. Lower DPS will do its 1st frame of damage, but that's it.

Basically, just click "edit", and write your answer. Then write "--~~~~" after, to sign your comment with date and time.

Thanks a bunch

Re: Question about Poison damages

UPDATE 3 AUGUST 2009 When players, hirelings or pets apply poison to a poisoned monster, their poison is applied for one frame instead of the current poison: if their poison has an equal or greater rate, it then overwrites the current poison and it gets applied for its length; if their poison has a lower rate, the current poison then continues for its remaining length. Rates are compared after all modifiers have been applied.

When monsters apply poison to a poisoned player, hireling or pet, their poison is applied for one frame as well as the current poison: if their poison has an equal or greater rate, it then overwrites the current poison and it gets applied for its length; if their poison has a lower rate, the current poison then continues for its remaining length. Rabies and Poison Creeper can also apply additional frames of poison damage when applied to more than one monster.

The guy working on this really knows his stuff.

I'll put it in the wiki later. I just found out that a forum account isn't the same as a wiki account. I'll need to create one.
