It was definitely a bug. Like or not. Poison should not have affected an existing DoT.

Your post makes literally no sense. Is that what they claimed it did? Because that isn't what was fixed. The direct hit of ED can still poison, and binos can still prolif that poison. But now the damage of that poison has been cut by ~60% (going by bino's regen numbers). But the thing is the poison number shown on bino's post patch is WAY lower than the poison should be via the math of how poison works. And no one is confused about how poison works, because of the news post yesterday.

So no. You are mistaken about what was even happening and what has been 'fixed', but being your extremely arrogant self you felt the need to comment anyway.

Lol are you mad ? what do you don't understand in

Fixed a bug where skills (from both players and monsters) which dealt chaos damage over time were doing far too much damage when supported by Poison.

?

Lol can you read? Read Charan's post. Now read GGG's quote.

At least try to think before posting next time.

And again, no french translation...

Great to see any performance improvements you make. Sarn arena also needs some love from you guys. It's full of laggy/screen freezing shit happening there. Sometimes fps drops so low so it's simply unplayable. Things that do happen in Sarn arena:

-Firestorm is causing massive fps drops, and it looks like people (assholes) just love to abuse it.
-Graphic (?) glitch that happens (sometimes) at your respawn, where it looks/sounds like huge amount of everything (yes, some parts of the visuals of the skills people use and also sounds are mixed up all together) just explodes for few seconds and therefor causing big time frame drops.
-Players become invisible, so you even won't see an invisible character name on the map (Tab) Re-entering arena solves it.
-For some reason sometimes you are dead at your actual respawn, and you can't do anything except from relog back in game.
-Using Whirling Blades sometimes makes you stuck, and in this case nothing helps.
-Client crashing aka "PathOfExileSteam.exe stopped to respond..." Never happens outside of arena, tho.

Dear developers, there is a place for everything I described about Sarn arena. All these bugs are pretty common, so anyone from you can see it for yourself if you will spend some of your time playing in arena (HLD is highly recommended) Please, pay attention to arena, it really waits for some of your love.

Cheers, Rich

Very pleased to see the poison CA/ED interaction got fixed. Was clearly a bug, and having it linked still does do a fairly okay job on single-target.
It's funny seeing people trying to justify their exploits, though.

Also happy that the weird bow/quiver interaction bug was fixed.

Yes poison was nerfed ~60% as you say. I am not sure how this is a fix though.

You now, in most countries, there is tradition of giving small gifts for Christmas. Seems like another thing working in reverse down south in southern hemisphere, as we apparently got nerf for Christmas...

Alright with my set up right now the direct damage of ED is 2970-4449.

That is an average damage of 3709.5.

So the base low, medium, and high poison damages are:

low 297

medium 370.95

high 444.9.

I have the following additive damage increases: 125% poison, 105% damage over time, 201% chaos, and 55% projectiles (from my reading of the poison post spell power doesn't count towards the poison portion of ED).

that total gives me 486% increased damage, or 5.86, so my new low, medium, and high poison values are:

low 1740.42

medium 2173.767

high 2607.114

I have the following damage multipliers for poison: 1.28 from slower projectiles, 1.37 from rapid decay, 1.38 from void manipulation

So my new final low, medium, and high poison per hit with ED should be:

low 4211.76

medium 5260.45

high 6309

I am getting only half this value from Bino's when the poison spreads. Bino's regeneration effect is supposed to match the strongest poison on a given mob. I am getting a max of 4,000 regeneration (which includes the regeneration built in to ED and my regular life regeneration) Note that I am not testing this against chaos resistant mobs.


So as far as I can see there was no bug fix. It seems that either a bug was introduced to ED poison damage, or GGG put in some sort of hidden reduction to poison damage for ED.

Extra Gore now doesn't trigger every time Blade Vortex hits. This was causing significant performance problems and client crashes for some users.

Thank you GGG finaly i can go full force with my blade vortex and not be afraid of my screen getting frozen when i jump into pack of blues. well done!

So, a huge nerf mid season to poison and no fix to femur.

GGG still showing how not to do things. :(

I haven't had time for longer test, but I run some fast Canyon with my setup (https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1528621) and I hit once 8+K regeneration from Bino. Even considering, that I have like 400-500 base regeneration depending on number of FC, it means that I got 8K regen only from Bino.
