did some testing of

Plague Javelin on tz 92

Baal with and without lvl 3 Venom from arachnid's

results are inconclusive to random

without Venom
1st run 45s
2nd 53s
3rd 24s
average 40.7s

with Venom
1st 33s
2nd 61s
3rd 27s
average 40.3s

i guess i will switch on Venom from arachnid's when fighting tougher targets but don't see the point in investing into another shield, considering this builds is already overburdened with charms

so, made me a simple Spirit with 4x5/5 facets..

dmg with Enigma 98.5k->106k over 12.8->12.4s
dmg with Bramble (43%) 125.3k->128k over 12.4->12s

Bramble barely feels worth it.. maybe will change with a +6

Javelin and a perfect roll

kill speed on tougher heralds seems to have improved except for poison immunes.. embalmed in tombs in particular are slow to a point that i doubt -res works properly??

and it feels like dmg can be much higher if applied through direct hit rather than the poison cloud.. regardless whether Venom is active or not. not sure if it's a bug, intended, or my perception

did one

Baal run so far, 30s without Venom. will do some more testing later

p.s. got such a beautiful red valk, lvl 52, immune to all elemental dmg.. only gorebellies manage to scratch her with crushing blow. why can't we keep the valk??

after eight more excruciatingly boring

Baal tests (tz 93, 128k dmg over 12s, -40 poison res, tz either extra strong or fire ench or exra fast or cursed)

without lvl 3 Venom 30s / 20s / 29s / 24s mean 25.8s
with lvl 3 Venom 14s / 26s / 25s / 33s mean 24.5s

Conclusion: Venom has very small positive effect
Clueless why kill time varies so greatly..
