Venom PvM?
I know that many hell monsters have high built-in poison resistances, which can't even be lowered by Conviction.
I am about done building my ladder Dclone/Trist killer, and am now faced with three options:
1) Max Phoenix Strike (no real use other than for extra elemental damage/crowd control)
2) Max Shadow Master (self explanatory)
3) Max Venom
Is Venom completely pointless for PvM? Her actual damage, like most Talon kickers, is relatively low, as she relies mostly on crushing blow and Life Tap to stay alive and kill monsters. It seems that Venom might at least negate a bit of the insane regeneration that the ubers seem to have.
I'm grateful for your learned opinion.
