seemed really good for killing Astrogha, but Gravetalon's probably way better for farming Scos. My tree was similar too but I didnt have as many points in Raven, but definitely should have. I think I was around 170% poison pen or so when it was all said and done. Overall it actually felt pretty good in Scos. The damage was a bit less on the trash mobs (a lot of the trash mobs have poison absorb which makes them a pain), but farming the trees and elementals was very easy dropping arachnomancy on them. I was almost tempted to stay poison over cold - which i may have to try again with your suggestions.![](https://dev.median-xl.com/assets/Temp_Items/runes/runes_new/Ven.jpg)
