Poison
In PoE, Poison is found as a damage type and as a status ailment.
Poison as a damage type
It is dealt as Chaos damage over time and is affected by damage over time and chaos damage enhancements.
Skills that deal poison damage are:
- Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Poison Arrow" skill deals listed poison damage to targets within the cloud and for a short time after they leave it.[1]
Viper Strike can stack up to four charges upon a successful hit, which do listed poison damage.
Poison as a status ailment
It deals 10% of all damage (including physical, elemental, and chaos damage[2]) of the hit that caused it, as chaos damage per second. The effect lasts for 2 seconds, dealing 20% of initial hit damage in total.
It can be caused by:
- Critical strikes with daggers when the Adder's Touch passive skill is taken.
- Attacks with weapons that have the Poisonous Hit mod.[3] Currently,

the only weapon with this unique mod. - Monsters with the "Vile Touch" Nemesis mod.
Separate applications of poison do not stack cumulatively. Each poison effect remains present on the target until it runs its course, but only the one with the highest damage per second will cause damage at any given moment.[4] For example, assume an enemy is inflicted with poison for 100 damage per second, then after 1 second it is inflicted with poison for 50 damage per second. The outcome will be 200 damage over 2 seconds followed by 50 damage over 1 second.
Viper Strike charges, Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Poison Arrow" cloud and Poison status are all separate effects and will stack with each other.[5]
Poison damage, as any other damage over time, can be increased by the Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Vulnerability". Please choose only one of the following ids:
IzaroVulnerabilityPylonOnDeath - 40% increased Physical Damage taken, 20% chance to be inflicted with Bleeding when Hit by an Attack, Base duration is 10.00 seconds (page)
IzaroVulnerability - Base duration is (5.00-6.45) seconds, Cursed enemies take (15-25)% increased Physical Damage, Attacks Hits against Cursed Enemies have 25% chance to inflict Bleeding (page) curse.
