Venom: exactly like OSRS, or wear off after a time?
Posted: Tue May 16, 2017 6:57 pm
For the uninformed: Venom is a stronger version of poison, hitting once every 18 seconds, starting at 6 damage and going up by 2 damage every time it hits. There are 3 ways to get poisoned by venom: Zulrah and its snakelings, Toxic weapons (toxic blowpipe and toxic staff of the dead) and the passive effect of the Serpentine helm (which has a chance of applying venom when being hit).
If you need further information on how venom works exactly in OSRS (and how it can be countered), I would recommend looking it up on the available online OSRS wiki's.
Some would argue that - when combined with all the items we already have in PkHonor - venom as it works in OSRS would be too strong on PkHonor. For that reason - and to limit some ways to abuse this in PvM scenario's, I had decided to make a small alteration to the way venom works. Simply put, once you have been hit for 20 damage by venom, it will turn into regular poison, starting at 6 and slowly wearing off.
Do you agree with this change, or not? Cast your vote and tell us your reasoning (other than simply "it should be the same way as in OSRS").
