bowazon psn charms do not work well on a sin due to venom as it switches all psn dmg to do it at .4 secs instead of say 10 seconds meaning ur 451 psn charm now does 20 psn dmg over the .4 dureation which is crap.
barbs mainly use max dmg/ ar/life charms.
the only viable option is bowazon..

I thought venom didn't have an affect on the damage itself but just the duration.
i.e. 451 over 0.4 seconds instead of 20.
could be wrong, but there is a pretty good Tao of Poison thread around here somewhere...
either way, those 451 pd charms wont last for long seeing as they're likely unperm.

The Tao of Poison is in the "DiabloII.net Links" menu at the top of each page, this one included
It will work out to be around 20 poison damage over 0.4 seconds, not 451 over 0.4.
Each poison source adds to total poison damage, since the bitrates are additive, and so are the durations for ranged attacks. For melee attacks, they're averaged out, so adding a 6 pdsc over 3 seconds with a 451 over 12 seconds will result in roughly a 594 damage over 15 seconds for a ranged attack, or 297 damage over 7.5 seconds for a melee attack.
So poison damage is usually better on a ranged attack, even though the bitrates (damage over time) are the same, the ranged attack's poison will have a duration many times that of a melee attack.
