rhrrngt.9271 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 I see a lot of builds online recommending Shale venom, Why this over impairing daggers? It seems to do far less damage even if the mob stays stationary. What am I missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stx.4857 Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 It's possible venom is recommended in a group setting because it is shared with your team and the damage they deal with it is counted towards your dps (I think). You don't have to run venom when Solo. I use caltrops and thousand needles. Nice for aoe and breakbar and the damage is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthernRedStar.3054 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Impairing Daggers has the slowest projectile speed I have ever witnessed, on top of a massive cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quickness is really nice (and possible in group comps) for this. But I still think you'd get more out of a venom in a group with sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a superb burst you get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saerni.2584 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 On a proper build full share Spider Venom is about 57k damage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got any build to show? I alway's liked the less explored utility skill types and Venoms look fun to overload attacks with but simply can't get enough of them in a build to make it work! 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saerni.2584 Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 You just need something like Viper stats, Nightmare Runes, and take the trait Potent Poison in Deadly Arts. Basically you get 100% condi duration and lots of condi damage. You get up to 1800 some damage per venom stack. You get 6 stacks in PvE and multiply that by 5 (total of 30 stacks). So while each stack isn't that much you have so many stacks it adds up fast. I think you may be able to push 60k total but you usually want more balance so you can max out bleed and torment for max damage. But any proper condi build can get close enough that only a very obsessed min/max attitude would demand more than 57k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
