I just wanted to know if there is a plan to bring back poison? Most useless stat still goes to thorns and reflection, but poison is right behind them.

 

iirc, I believe I did hear that poison will be revisited in the future but given the current state of things, it's not exactly on the "high priority" list. Probably due to more people preferring to see an Assassin overhaul as opposed to a poison rework.

I would imagine they'll care about making Poison balanced instead of cracked like it was before, but in order to do that it'll take some time to properly review it. I don't know much about damage calculations so I'm not gonna go very in depth with this.

Also thorns and reflection are useful for pvp

 

yeah, this more or less

 

or simply just make all items that give poison give more

 

The problem with that is that while that makes sense for mobs, what about duels? If we have items giving like 10-15k poison per piece, it would become insane for pvp. Furthermore, it would still be extremely outclassed in raids, as even having 50k poison against something like Greg is gonna take a long time to kill him...

Strength scaling just makes the most logical sense, but it's still gonna be far from a perfect system (probably purely due to the existence of toxo)

 

oh right lol
