Poison Sorceress

[loreth2021]

respecced yesterday to poison and even with only 60% poison pierce, i could run scosglen with set already, kinda slow but still ok, and fauzt wasnt any problem, even in a p5-game.

the combination with living flame for life reg and dance is really good, as you are kiting anyway and everything just got melted.

looking forward for getting upgrades, as they are kind of cheap compared to cold/light builds.

i guess poison is kinda not really balanced as for now - compared to cold and light with the _same_ gear, poison performs much better.

+ would really like to see a good option for mid-/endgame mf builds; i mean- i can just take all endgame gear setup and just put %mf orbs/ist runes on it and keep a 2nd endgame gear set for ubers. but maybe there are better options (e.g. % mf end game gear with poison dur/poison pierce/spell focus).

can someone tell me what the point of +1 Ice Elementals if you can't summon them directly (orange text)?

I'm guessing that you can only summon them on kill as per the line directly below the orange text.

Well, I've seen lots of procs on items and they don't seem to need to give you the skill they're proccing.


But I noticed that the proc says "on kill" which in this game is a melee kill whereas "death blow" is any kill... so another question is "how does it proc for a caster sorc?"

Or is the text just wrong?

nah it would still count since Glacial Torrent is an Attack now. that just means you have to kill using Glacial Torrent and not Frigid Nova. but i agree with you it should be on death blow 100%

But this is an orb for a poison sorc not a cold sorc?


I wonder if anyone's tested it to see if it procs ice elementals using poison skills. My sorc is still lvl 43 so I can't use it yet, just found it on my main last night.

being bugged still remains. I posted it in the bugs thread and someone tested it and said it doesn't proc ice elementals (or only when the char dies - he's still to test it and see if it works if he whacks a beastie in the blood moor in melee).

If you get 50% poison duration reduction from Glowskull and same from Vilehand, so 100% reduction... then what? Poison disappears instantly when it hits you? So... you just take an initial hit but no dot damage?

Sure, but it doesn't have poison pierce, just fire, lightning, cold - at least on the tooltip I'm seeing - was this meant to be in the cold sorc guide?
