OdinAZ Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Hello, I decided to give DP another shot and am looking for a secondary. /Poison seems good, Envenom and Weaken seem pretty clutch. But I see a lot of negative reviews of this set. Is there something specific I am missing? Should I really "Just play a /Rad"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uun Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 Poison is quite good but has a learning curve. You only need to take 4 powers (Envenom, Weaken, Poison Trap and Venomous Gas). The others are optional/skippable (although several are useful as mules). Envenom and Weaken apply a 100% strength debuff to the main target and a 50% strength debuff in an 8 ft radius AoE around that target. These are considered separate effects, so you can "stack" the debuffs by hitting two targets near one another. Because Venomous Gas is a PBAoE, and the radius of Envenom and Weaken is small, Poison is best played in melee range. There are a lot of ways to slot Poison Trap, mostly focused on how many %dmg procs you slot vs. how much acc/hold duration/recharge. Do not slot for damage. 1 Uuniverse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OdinAZ Posted July 13 Author Share Posted July 13 Thank you for the advice and the link to the guide. This sounds pretty fun, if you can make it work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahkness Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I started taking only three powers as a poison corrupter. I leave out Weaken. As a defender you are kind of locked in with taking weaken so I do. Depending on how experienced you are with the set. I like to go for dmg as corr. This leaves you open for an extra power pick. I like the fire epic. Greater fire sword is a sweet add on to your ST chain attacks with high global recharge. Consume gives you a little end buff after its use with a knock down IO in it is nice. Kill Most ITFs!
