i had an idea for a loadout im working on achiving and i wanted some opinions on it over all
its not ment to be super badass so much as its ment to be fun to me but i DO wonder if it has some Runnability later on down the line

basicly using nothing bot Poison wepons
the Cutter's Toxic line the catalysers poisonous variant Toxic needle line of the autogun Venim vailer bomb and such

and for a cosmetic armor i seen a version of the croma armor that was oozing Toxins
and if possable the Toxic bomb head mask

mainly using the Toxic needle line and or the cutter's Toxic line as mains switching out the cutter for the bio hazard
potentialy skipping the venim vailer unless i had 4 slots to use that is..

i know poison based stuff isant ALL that great but i tend to like toxic and poisons in games for some reason.. they seem to be quite fun
and ide like to know how Tough a lodout simaler to what i described there would be to use along the tiers in running
either solo or teamed

Sure, sounds great. Why not?

Sure, sounds great. Why not? It might take you a little longer to make progress and be a little more difficult and tricky to get used to but you're playing a game so you might as well have fun doing it. That's what games are meant for after all. Go ahead and do that Alexislightus. I don't know exactly how tough it's going to be as I don't have enough experience in those areas but I understand the basic mechanics of the Poison Status Effect in this game. You'll have a generally easier time fighting enemies when there are healers of course and you'll also take a lot less Damage from their individual strikes. I believe that a poisoned enemy's attack is effectively cut in half 50%, so that's nice for if you get caught off guard but it probably isn't a substitute for good, strong armor and shielding. Your victims' defenses are also weakened, but not by a whole lot (less than 10% I believe), so don't feel obligated to risk your life to attack those specific targets. As for solo VS team play, I don't see much of a difference other than the same basic cooperative teamwork you'd be using anyways. Have fun.

Awesome

Themed loadouts are very cool. It is limited to what is available in-game, so you won't have the best possible gear... but whatever. At least you are doing all poison, someone was doing an all shadow loadout which doesn't work well in quite a few situations. Can't go wrong with poison.

The only downside is that the Dread Venom Striker doesn't have a lot of knockback or interruption which makes it difficult to use in T3. But with practice and perseverance you'll do fine. Especially if everything is poisoned, it isn't like they can hurt you much.

There's only one 5* poison shield, sadly... Dread Skelly Shield. So might have to broaden your horizons on that front to stay safe.

hehe indeed its not often you

hehe indeed its not often you see poisons and toxins used in games all that much for some reason so i think itll be kinda neat to weild an all poison loadout

Venom striker/ plauge needle/ venom Vailer/ Biohazard [from what i seen so far]
and what ever armor i can find using the Viralisk suit[poisonous salamander looking one] as a cosmetic
aaaand...lots of fun top be had
i dont know of any other poison inducing wepons or ones that look Toxic-y
and since apperently poison lowers enemy attack i dont feel so bad in parties when i bust out my toxic needele and dont do a lot of Dammage..
as poisoning helps everyone over all XD

they shal feel the Dreadfull Toxifying sting of my weponry! mwahaaa :D

I was originally doing this

I was originally doing this with Fire so its very cool to see someone else doing this. I gave up on mine though since I gave up on my Firotech and was talked out of the Flamberge. Still wearing Salamander gear though!

Don't forget...

There's a wiki page that lists all poison weapons:
http://wiki.spiralknights.com/Poison

So you do have all four poison weapons covered. The Sealed Sword can also does poison, but it is random, so doesn't really count as a poison weapon.
