Hey fellow nerds,
I need some help understanding the nuances between the different types of damage health poisons. Specifically, the differences between poisons of damage health, lingering damage health, and concentrated poison.
Obviously, a poison of damage health will...well damage health. pretty simple. for the sake of my questions, assume the enemy I'm hitting the poison with has no immunity to poison, and I have alchemy maxed at 100 with all perks
Here are my questions:
1) I made a poison of lingering damage health, that Causes <mag> points of poison damage for <dur> seconds. For examples sake, lets say 6 points of poison damage for 10 seconds. Does that mean that it will do 6 points of damage PER SECOND for 10 seconds, totaling in 60 points of damage health. Or a total of 6 poison damage over that 10 seconds...roughly .6 damage per second.
2) Do perks like Assassins blade (15x damage for sneak attacks) affect the poison damage?
3) The Frenzy poison (now that I'm lvl 50) doesn't seem to work on anybody. Is there a way to increase the level of the poison to affect higher level baddies?
4) I do not understand when it says "Causes <mag> points of concentrated poison damage". Does the "concentrated" mean it does more damage? If you have 2 poisons, one doing 10 pints of poison damage, and the other doing 10 points of concentrated poison damage...whats the difference?
5) (Ignoring the concentrated poison perk) When dual wielding weapons, does 1 poison application go for both weapons, giving you two hits (one right handed, one left handed)?
thanks in advanced
