Damaging Ailments inflicted with Supported Skills deal damage #% faster is additive with other modifiers that cause ailments to deal damage faster or slower.
To calculate the new ailment duration after supporting it with Sadism Support, use the following formula:
Ignite and Bleeding gain more value from Sadism Support, as they cannot normally stack (and when they do, have a maximum stack amount), causing excessive stacks to be wasted. Modifying its duration to be significantly shorter allows greater efficiency of ailments.
Poison does not inherently have this issue as there is no maximum limit to poison stacks. However, several mechanics may benefit from having short-duration poisons so they expire before the next application, such as the Poison Mastery and stacking Low Tolerance which care about non-poisoned enemies, and Viper Strike of the MambaViper Strike of the MambaAttack, Duration, Melee, Strike, Chaos Level: (1-20) Cost: 5 Mana Attack Damage: (90-154)% of base Effectiveness of Added Damage: (90-154)%Hits enemies, converting some of your physical damage to chaos damage and inflicting poison which will be affected by modifiers to skill duration.
