Martial Assualt - That envenomed weapons...

[Project]

So many doms get like a buff for 10 sec to dmg, acc, and controls, but martial assualt get envenomed blade that doesnt really explain what it does. Can someone elaborate? Like is it 20% toxic damage on all attacks, or like 5%? And is it for ALL attacks or just for Martial attacks?

Envenomed Blades adds a toxic damage proc to all your attacks (not just Martial Assault), with the amount of damage determined by the power's base recharge and area factor. It caps out at about 31 points (you can see the impact on a power by power basis in Mid's). It also provides a 12% tohit buff. Duration is 40s with a 160s recharge, but with perma-Dom it can be up all the time or close to it (mine has about 7s of down time).

IIRC envenomed blades also adds damage to pets. Not sure about the amount added to pets. Also not sure if toxic damage is added to phantasms or not, as they are flagged to not receive buffs from external sources.

Did a quick check against a RWZ combat dummy. Fly Trap and Carrion Creepers don't get added damage from Envenomed Blades, but Sleet, Ice Storm and Caltrops do.

I recalled this being mentioned in the "Clear Speed Leaderboard" thread for which Koopak is the original poster.

Below is a link to page 4 of that thread; envenomed blades are discussed there ... (Based on your testing, though, maybe there's been some changes in the interim or perhaps the original finding was somehow incorrect)

Yeah it was extra damage procing being done with some Illusion pets.  Envenomed affects pets but maybe not all.  That clear time was absurdly better than other assaults. 

 

Having played doms the proccing pets was news to me.  Maybe ask the one who submitted that time, they obviously are quite familiar with /martial doms.

I reported it as a bug, since both Fly Trap and Creepers do benefit from Interface damage procs.

So the answer is that you have to activate Envenomed Blades before you summon the pet in order for them to get the additional damage.
