Ways adds psn damage directly to whatever throw you do, but wouldn't scorpion blade override that as the superior damage?
This is why I thought Tiefling was good. If this isn't the case and ways does add the damage values it states it does, and scorpion blade's poison stacks with the ways' poison, that just makes tiefling a really awful passive/buff ability, which does far too much harm to be good.
Poison damage is weird, especially with Scorpion Blade. I ripped this from the documentation, although it says it is outdated, I don't believe this part, or rather the mechanics of it, to be outdated.

glad you are back
yeah, so i just spent the last little while testing, and i don't feel like they stack with each other - i am not noticing the significant dps increase the ways should give me (scorpion sitting at 22k psn, ways giving me 11k so i should see ghoms bar drop like 1/3 more per hit which i cant really). also, with my defense on sin (20k), dunc hits me at 80%. But tiefling's stat gains for a buff are honestly so bad, that i feel dissuaded to go it anyway, and just level spider ways for the psn spell %.
regarding that outdated documentation, see how it says it's NOT affected by spell/psn skill damage on missiles, but on melee, under scorpion blade. it's not only extremely confusing as that's not true, psn damage works with scorpion blade, but again, it also says [outdated].
this is all on top of the recent scorpion blade nerf, so we have ~3 less daggers and lesser WDM. man, assassins are such a disappointment on this game
