" darkestxshadow wrote: As a chaos witch, I can atest that the fix to poison on ED was needed. My damage output was stupidly dumb for the gear im using, and the build is nowhere near close to endgame dealing endgame damage. so from a balance perspective thank you for fixing that. While I can't say for certain since I'm a human being and make mistakes, I believe the reason they nerfed the poison was because certain people coughnugicough are using the uniques that convert fire damage to chaos damage combined with ridiculously overpowered skills such as Firestorm that allows very high stacking of very high base damage in the first place, so it had to be fixed. However, there's the side effect of nerfing weaker builds in the process. I don't know if it was bugged or just nerfed, since no specific details yet. If I'm not online, leave offer in thread or send PM.	Posted by lakylog#4219 on Dec 23, 2015, 12:16:41 AM Quote this Post

Nope, there was a bug which caused poison damage to scale high on chaos dot abilities(not what he was using) like Essence Drain. The poison should only have scaled from the initial damage but it was doing much more.

So does that fix the quill rain + ca + poison business? I hope. Jul 27, 2011 - Sept 30, 2018.	Posted by Serleth#4392 on Dec 23, 2015, 12:20:26 AM Quote this Post

WTB specific details from GGG about what was happening and how they fixed it cause right now I'm just a living questionmark If I'm not online, leave offer in thread or send PM.

Same here - ED Poison - Whats the fix exactly? How much damage are we talking about?	Posted by Melchior1988#4693 on Dec 23, 2015, 12:32:43 AM Quote this Post
Edit: False Alarm, kinda overreacted a bit. Sometimes you can take the game out of the garage but you can't take the garage out of the game. - raics, 06.08.2016 Last edited by JohnNamikaze#6516 on Dec 23, 2015, 1:10:48 AM	Posted by JohnNamikaze#6516 on Dec 23, 2015, 12:33:16 AM Valued Poster Quote this Post

What is the damage changed to/ what was it? It was doing a normal amount of damage, allowing you to sacrafice some AE damage for better single target. Made the character more well rounded. The change will make it do nothing. Considering they nerfed CA by 50% it's not a surprise they want to be sure it unusable. Right now it would take a 6-link +3 bow to compare to my ghetto self found character from the last two leagues and that was WITH the extra damage from poison.
