Do sab charges really count as posion?
And if so should I use posion potency in sin tree?
Also... Does atk power increase charge dmg?

What can I do for max charge dmg.

Right now im lvl 27 with sab/nb/rs

Trying to get max dmg. Any help is very welcomed!

Thanks!

Yes to all, as far as I know.

Thanks.

Im starting think atk power doesnt increase charge dmg. But the buff in rs tree that gives endurance seems to be worth the 4 point in atk power anyways

From what I have read charges count as poison only as far as cleansing is concerned. I do not believe that any thing that increases poison dmg will effect charges. They are also still listed as physical damage when they detonate. Please someone correct me if I am wrong.

You are correct about being physical dmg. But when I put points into increase phys dmg in sin tree I see no increase. Same goes with atk power.

Sab charges are poisons. Assassin tree +poison dmg does affect them. It's easy to test.

At least the poison specs are good for something other than getting to Serpent Strike I guess. The damned poisons are so damned weak that it sure as heck isn't worth getting them for that...

ah thanks for the info, I have never ran assassin so never had the opportunity to test. Is it worth running a sab+assasin build just for that you think?
