How Pestilent sc of Anthrax can be 451 PSD

Out of curiosity, how? Pestilent affix 175PSD 6 sec and Anthrax is 50PSD 6sec, but then Pestilent sc of Anthrax is 451 PSD 12sec, my best-guess math is (175+50)*2 = 450 - close to 451

175 over 6 sec = 29.2 per sec for sec.
50 over 6 sec = 8.4 per sec for 6 sec.

Add both values: 37.6 per sec for 12 sec. = 451 damage over 12 sec.

450 would be the correct number, 451 is due to rounding errors.

make sense, mean doubling the poison length second.

interesting , there is another thing comes into my mind.
50 over 6 sec doesnt look attractive in this case, right? (or it is just me thinks wrong.)

will people choose 50 poison over 20 life?
small charm 175 poison , 20 life
vs
small charm 175 poion + 50 poison

or 7 mf

i saw some guys fill up their inventory with 451 SC, so 50 each x 37 mean a lot of dmg - but not 50 right, it's 100 + 175 as of the mechanic mentioned by Vued above. But also might be unnecessary overkill traded off for surviablity

that 50 part is only 8.4 damage per second, it is 9 x 37.

I am not even sure 8.4 damage is stronger than 2 str or 1 max damage in case of bow amp amazon.

That poison thing, I rethink again. 9 poison every second.
9 x 37 is almost same to new char full poison jewel x2 vs normal diablo. it takes several min to kill normal diablo.
In hell....it is not sounds like a good idea.

interesting question, given the chance to proc amp is quite low and psd gets effected by -poison res, I would think psd.
