question about poisoned weapons

[necrophyte]

i searched a bit through the forums, but didnt find an answer to my question.

 

 

 

i just wanna know when the weapon poison starts to affect. does it begin at the first strike or as soon as youve dealt damage (red), or as sson as you see the first poison damage inflicted (green)?

 

 

 

the reason for my question is quite simple - i only have a black dagger(p) which isnt that useful as such, so i just wanna use the poison effect at the beginning of a fight against some stronger opponents and then switch to my stronger weapons. so when should i do it? as soon as ive stroke or as soon as ive dealt the first (red) damage or as soon as ive dealt the first poison (green) damage?

 

 

 

thx

Well, when poisonious monster attack you, you get poisoned even if they hit for a 0, unless you just drank anti.

ok thx, i just wanted to know when my weapon poison starts to affect, so i hope its like kickler123 said, as soon as ive dealt the first normal red damage.

Even then, it sometimes doesn't poison. Try for three hits, then it should poison.
