Poison increases damage done to an enemy, yes? Does this affect things like ash of agni's burn though, or shock damage etc; does the damage increase affect all damage or just direct weapon damage?
I don't have any poison weapons so I can't really find out myself, but would really appreciate if anyone can confirm or deny poisons affect with Agni or other fire/shock/various status things that include damage.
Poison with status damages question

Yeah I know it's not a lot.
I might like the extra bit anyway.

As far as I know, damage from shock and fire doesn't take into account poison, just status resistance, and the severity of these statuses themselves. Poison really shines in reducing the damage dealt by enemies, anyway.
Well, i don't really feel like testing if it does but i'll tell you straight: my second swing of DA did 500 dmg (i think i had a piece of snarb equipped) to constructs close to the core, dropping in poison from Venom Veiler made it go up to 537 so yeah, even if it does affect, you won't feel that at all since i almost wouldn't feel it if i didn't look at the numbers. Poison is generally used to reverse healing to damaging and halving enemies attack. Forget about poison as a provider of bonus damage multiplier, its just not worth it.
