Quick question about Poison Length Reduction

hey guys,

Hoping for a fast reply here, because I'm about to solo Andy for the first time in my HC career.

Say I have Cleglaw's shield, with 75% Poison Length Reduction, on the switch.
Would it have any use to switch to it after being poisoned?
Ie., does the game calculate your total Poison Length Reduction at the time you are poisoned, or does it keep re-calculating it during the whole time you're poisoned?

Follow-up question:
If there's no use switching to Cleglaw's after being poisoned, would you prefer 0% Poison Resist/75% Reduction or 12% Resist/0% Reduction?

Cheers,
-Jack

Re: Quick question about Poison Length Reduction

I'm pretty sure the length reduction only applies if you get poisoned with it on. As for the second question, I'd probably go with the resistance- you'll probably be re-poisoned pretty quickly, so the length reduction isn't all that useful for the battle itself. Also note that antidote potions exist; besides curing poison, they also give you +50 poison resist and +10 max poison resist for 30 seconds. Drinking more antidotes increases the timer. The same thing goes for thawing potions and cold resist.

Wow, I didn't know those potions stacked! Thanks a lot for that!
Andy is long gone, by the way. Thanks all the same =)

Re: Quick question about Poison Length Reduction

sry for stealing topic, but one question concerning poison lenght reduction. does it stacks? lets say death gloves -belt combo (75%) and some other source of 25 %. or it is caped at 75 %

It's capped at 75%, but there is a -100% penalty in hell mode, so you can stack up to 175%, although I don't think that this makes sense.

so poison nova in hell have duration of 4 sec. 75 % will cut that to 2,5 sec?

AFAIK the penalty is applied on poison attacks from monsters only.
