Sacred 2:Poison

Poison is one of the five basic Elemental Damage and resistance types. Poison damage can be used as damage via melee/ranged and in magical combat by choosing Combat Arts with the element a player has strategically chosen to use against select opponents.

Blacksmithing

The poison damage type, in the form of a Poison Fang can be forged into weapons or armor which will increase the weapon's chance to successfully inflict Chance for Poison which is a Secondary Damage Effect as well as a Detrimental magic effects. If successful, Chance to Poison will inflict a Damage over Time.

Damage Type

Poison, as well, can be a default damage type of some class's Combat Arts. Depending upon the chosen combat art, it may even be mixed with other, different, damage types. For example, the Dryad's Malicious Totem's elemental damage type starting composition is 65% Physical/35% Poison. This means that each of the darts that hits, has a very good chance of inflicting Chance for Poison as the percentage of poison damage type in that combat art is 65%.

Resistances

Increasing a player's poison resistance via armor or forging rings or amulets into worn gear or weapons can also decrease damage done by incoming poison attacks from opponents via their melee, ranged or spell. Players should always attempt to use poison damage type against enemies who have the least resistance to it. Using poison damage type via weapon/ranged or spell versus an enemy who has tremendous poison resistance can reduce a player's damage by a minimum of 50 percent!
