Emits an expanding ring of concentrated poison.
Poison Nova does not overwrite itself, and its duration is always 2 seconds. Therefore you get almost no benefit from casting
Poison Nova more often than once every 2 seconds (because each subsequent casting doesn't increase the duration on monsters that have already been affected). For this reason FCR is not a top priority for poison necromancers. Even so, it is still a very cool skill.
Poison Nova works well with the
Lower Resist curse. You can quickly clear an area of weak monsters by casting
Lower Resist and then promptly following it up with
Poison Nova.
Unlike
Nova, which emits a single, expanding, ring-shaped hitbox,
Poison Nova emits 64 individual projectiles in lines away from the caster. Furthermore, the skill is subject to a 4 frame Next Hit Delay. This is why the projectiles appear to pass through units despite the skill's lack of any piercing quality. As a consequence of this, only one of the many projectiles created with each casting will poison a target, no matter how many appear to be hitting the unit.
