Synergies and practical checks
- It poisons on her claw blows and kicks, Blade Sentinel’s cuts and Blade Shield’s spin. Not on thrown blades, her other traps, Psychic Hammer or her shadow.
- Its poison takes your poison bonuses, not your Attack Damage. It doesn’t add up: a new dose renews the last, the stronger staying.
- An item that casts it also adds Diablo II’s Venom poison to each of your weapon blows while it lasts, for any class ( Skill systems ).
