| − | Some (if not all) of what follows may already be known, but to the best of my knowledge it hasn't all been collected in one place on this site. [[Guide:The Tao of Poison v1.09, by Bkelly|Bkelly's The Tao of Poison]] was an excellent source of information about poison damage for v1.09, but there are a number of changes in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction v1.10+ and the Tao hasn't been updated.

| − | ==Introduction==
| |
| − | While damage is displayed in points and length in seconds, both are calculated and applied using more precise units of measurement. Damage is calculated and applied in bits, and length in frames.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | {|align=center width=50% style=text-align:center

| |
| − | |}
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Poison damage is displayed as the total damage applied over a length of time, but it's calculated by applying a bit rate (bit damage per frame) for a specified number of frames: a <font color=#4850B8>'''Toxic Small Charm'''</font> applies 205 bit rate for 125 frames, which is displayed as 100 Poison Damage Over 5 Seconds (205*125/256 over 125/25).
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Poison damage from multiple attacks doesn't stack. If a target is already poisoned, then the rate and length of that poison will be overwritten by that of any subsequent attack which has an equal or greater rate. Rates are compared after all modifiers have been applied.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | When players, hirelings or pets apply poison to a poisoned monster, their poison is applied for one frame instead of the current poison: if their poison has an equal or greater rate, it then overwrites the current poison and it gets applied for its length; if their poison has a lower rate, the current poison then continues for its remaining length. Rates are compared after all modifiers have been applied.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | When monsters apply poison to a poisoned player, hireling or pet, their poison is applied for one frame as well as the current poison: if their poison has an equal or greater rate, it then overwrites the current poison and it gets applied for its length; if their poison has a lower rate, the current poison then continues for its remaining length. [[Rabies]] and [[Poison Creeper]] can also apply additional frames of poison damage when applied to more than one monster.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | A monster's damage regeneration is stopped if at least one bit of poison damage is applied per frame: monsters won't turn green if less than one bit of poison damage is applied per frame. Poison damage can kill monsters, hirelings and pets but will only reduce players to 1 hit point (although poison damage from a subsequent attack would kill them if they remained on 1 hit point).

| − | ==Items==
| |
| − | If a single item has both a prefix and a suffix applying poison damage, then the rates and lengths of both are simply added.

| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Displayed damage is rounded to the nearest point, although it should always be rounded down. When multiple items applying poison damage are equipped, then the rates are added and the lengths are averaged.

| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Thus 853 poison damage is applied over 9.36 seconds (934*234/256 over 234/25). Bits and frames are the smallest units of measurement, and so calculations are rounded down to the nearest bit and frame. Gems, jewels and runes all count as separate items, even if they're socketed in a single item.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | <font color=crimson>'''ERROR:'''</font> Length is calculated differently when multiple items applying poison damage are used with skills that apply less than 100% weapon damage:
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Poison length = [sum of lengths / (sources - 1) ]
| |
| − | *[[Multiple Shot]]
| |
| − | *[[Strafe]]
| |
| − | *[[Blade Fury]] using one-handed weapon
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Poison length = sum of lengths
| |
| − | *[[Blade Sentinel]]
| |
| − | *[[Blade Fury]] using two-handed weapon
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | *[[Poison damage items]]
| |
| − | <br>
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Skills==
| |
| − | Poison damage skills add bit rate with every additional skill level. The bit rate added also increases beyond certain skill levels. Some skills also add length with every additional skill level, although the increase is linear. Others are synergised by other skills, which apply a percentage increase to bit rate dependent on the number of skill points invested in the synergy skill(s). Skill level is set at the point the player uses the skill. Adding or removing skill bonuses won't have any effect on rate or length if there's a delay between using the skill and applying the poison.

| − | ==Skills and items==
| |
| − | Most skills are treated as separate sources of poison damage whose rates (and accompanying lengths) compete with those of other skills and items. However, Poison Dagger and the javelins (but '''not''' the clouds) of Poison and Plague Javelins combine the skill's rate with any item rates. Length is calculated by summing skill and item lengths and dividing by the number of items.

| |
| − | This is a summary of all the individual steps in the calculation of poison damage outlined in the preceding sections. To express total damage in points applied over a length in seconds:
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | <span style=font-size:200%>'''Points = [Rate*Frames/256]'''</span>

| − | | |

| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Ideally damage is calculated measuring rate in bits and length in frames. It's also possible to calculate damage measuring rate in poison damage/second and length in seconds, which can be derived directly from displayed damage. However, the result will only be an approximation and rounding down should only be done at the end of the calculation for the maximum accuracy possible.
