Poison duration reduction from Bosses?
I cannot find anything about... I just noticed that on a 6s duration (arachnomancy) at some bosses poison lasts about 3s (kabraxis), at others is almost istant (lab 12 navigator)...
Is there a reduction in duration proportional to the pierce required? It seems that "ticks" are not 1 each s... so if u have 300k poison each 3s, u don't do "3" ticks but there's more, something in the order of 6? Even with mobs, u don't see tick1, tick2, tick3, just the life that keeps lowering...
Is there any source of information about what kind of dmg is present at each boss? I mean I think Void minions summoining from Lilith is fire, then there's poison and Inarius does mostly cold, so nothing lighting related?

When the new season start ?,, My friend and I wanna grind for next upcoming season thanks for the answer

AFAIK yes, different enemies have different "Poison Length Reduced By" and poison pierce also reduces that as well (making your poison length longer).

Poison damage is done every frame (25 times per second). 300k poison over 3s is applied as 4k per frame (100k per second).

No announcement yet, but 2.0 is in beta so I'd expect it in the next few weeks.

Does attack rating and FHR work on mercenaries?

Yes to both.

My question was strictly related to the importing of TSW chars in 1.8 over to SP for a TG fee. I believe this is a feature that was once offered, I'm simply asking if it's possible again.

The SP chars would be in the 1.8 version only, and this version would of course no longer be supported. Having a separate install folder for an older version of median on SP should be possible while still playing 2.0 online, someone more knowledgeable please correct me if this isn't the case.

Nope, sorry. This won't be happening.

That's too bad.. is there any particular reason? It seems a simple process to copy and paste the current dll files and char saves, (is this not the case?) and would be something that those of us on NL would undoubtedly enjoy.

If the worry is that people would skip out on 2.0 in favor of playing old versions on SP then I can say with certainty that no one would do so. 2.0 will be a big draw. A little more detail and reasoning in your answer would be awesome, thanks.

the work is non trivial. i would not call it "simple"

That's fair. My point is that the feature existed at one point and was removed. If it's for some reason more complex to import tsw chars to SP now than it was previously then I'd completely understand. I'm just looking for some clarity and communication from a development standpoint.

Agreed. I'd be so happy if download to SP would be available. I have never had that many relics, trophies, and other items - due to goblins.
