Description
Can be used to make Runewords:
You can make Rabies work, but yeah, if you actually want the poison to kill things for you, you kinda need to play solo, with as few minions as possible, and utilize a hit-and-run tactic (just focusing on spreading it and then letting the poison do its thing). It might be fun? I haven't actually properly tried (I have only tried Rabies briefly, but not with all the bells and whistles in terms of gear).
I'm in CET (Central European Time)
My profile says Ladder, but I play both Ladder and Non-Ladder.
My profile says Softcore, but I play both Softcore and Hardcore.
My Holy Grail Tracker is for Offline Hardcore.
Holy Grail Death Count: 1

I myself am planning to build a Poison Dagger necro. So yeah, poison, although not as efficient as other damage sources, has its appeal. You just have to live with the thought that you are not godlike all powerfull and have to run more. So don't give up
You will end up running with just Grief occasionally biting enemies with Rabies.FerociousTerrier wrote: 2 days agoThings I am just learning:

Poison damage from multiple sources is very complicated.
I'm also leanring that Venom from Grief or Treachery can do strange things to poison skills and potentially overwrite an ongoing poisoning. SMH. My plan was Rabies/Fury druid swapping to Grief/Facet shield after Bite, but Grief (and barb Merc was going to have Grief + Plague, too) might overwrite the Rabies...
Give it a go anyway ... making new builds and trying out ideas to see how far you can take them is a large part of the fun with near infinite replay options. I like playing my L80 Werewolf / Summon hybrid with Obedience even though that is hardly optimal for anything ... something about running around as a wolf with a pack of wolves following me around is just fun!FerociousTerrier wrote: 1 day agoVery disappointed with what I've learned over the past 24hr. I picked druid as my second D2R char for Rabies. At least I like Fury, and I'm brainstorming a potential Fire Bear build instead.ganseng wrote: 1 day agonot sure what is more terrible - the bug itself or the fact it hasn't been fixed since 25 years..

Yep. If non-poison non-open-wounds damage is dealt, poison is interrupted for 8 frames (online). That means Emilio's stabbing and his frost aura reduce your poison damage.
I so agree!SizzleZap wrote: 11 hours agoGive it a go anyway ... making new builds and trying out ideas to see how far you can take them is a large part of the fun with near infinite replay options.

I wish the synergies were laid out differently (like in some D2 mods) so they supported such hybrid builds.vued wrote: 11 hours agoI so agree!

Agree. It kind of sucks that you "have" to add a bear, too. Totally ruins the gang.

And if you have both wolves and a bear, you "have" to add ravens. And you're left with one skill to be maxed, so you play a boring summoner...
Does this 8f-poison damage pause apply to damage from Thorns / Spirit of Barbs / Attacker takes damage too?vued wrote: 2 days agoYep.

It is implied by what you write, and seems likely from what we otherwise know about the game, but I don't think it was tested in Pavke's investigation. It would be great to know for sure, as it affects a few potential Necro and Druid builds.
Usually available after 21CET. Most of my Expansion trades can be converted to RotW, just ask.
I think so but I have no additional info at hand. Maybe someone else knows about this?NaglFarfar wrote: 46 minutes agoDoes this 8f-poison damage pause apply to damage from Thorns / Spirit of Barbs / Attacker takes damage too?vued wrote: 2 days agoYep.
