Spirit Of The Serpent

Players possessed by the Spirit Of The Serpent have All DamageDamage TypesThe damage types are Physical, Fire, Cold, Lightning and Chaos. from HitsHit DamageAny damage that isn't damage over time is Hit damage. Damaging Ailments which result from a Hit will calculate their damage from that Hit, and will not subsequently have Damage modifiers applied directly to them. As a result of this, raising Hit Damage will result in more powerful Damaging Ailments innately. ContributesDamage Contributing to AilmentsBy default, specific Ailments are calculated based on only specific damage types, such as only the Fire damage of a Hit mattering when inflicting Ignite. Allowing another damage type to contribute to an Ailment means that all damage of the relevant types is summed when performing calculations for that Ailment. For Ailments that use Hit damage to determine Ailment chance or buildup, this means that the damage type becomes capable of inflicting that Ailment. For Ailments that only use Hit damage to determine Ailment Magnitude (i.e. Bleeding and Poison), you still need a way to apply those Ailments (e.g. a source of Bleeding or Poison chance). to PoisonPoisonPoison is an Ailment that deals Chaos damage over time, and lasts 2 seconds by default. Damage from Poison bypasses Energy Shield. Physical and Chaos damage from Hits Contribute to Poison Magnitude. Damage does not Contribute to Poison chance, so it cannot be inflicted without an explicit source of Poison chance. The base Magnitude of Poison is Chaos damage per second equal to 20% of the Pre-mitigation Physical and Chaos damage of the Hit that inflicted it. This magnitude is not further affected by any modifiers to the damage you deal. Modifiers and Debuffs that affect the enemy's ability to mitigate damage (such as Shock) can affect the damage the enemy takes from Poison, but any such modifiers that specifically apply to Hit damage (such as Penetration) do not affect Poison damage.
