Greetings,

does Base Spell Damage still work to up poison damage? The relevant patch notes for GU52 are a bit blurry along the lines "Item based triggered effects can no longer critical or have their damage components modified unless done directly through something like an achievement or set bonus."

The question remains whether poisons count as item based triggered effects at all and if so whether there's a difference between Soul Lancer or Wilderness Warrior T2 Shoulders (+8% base spell & CA damage) and the Soul Lancer or Wilderness Warrior 3 piece set bonus (+4% base spell & CA damage).

The set bonus technically should still work if the above quote is correct, but could anybody with the Soul Lancer or Wilderness Warrior Shoulders and/or 3 pieces have a look at whether this still increases poison damage (assuming that this is visible in the poison description) or have a quick parse looking for poison damage range (if the increase wasn't visible in the description before)?

Thanks in advance from a confused junior brigand...

Pretty positive it doesn't. Quick way to check would be to put bloodthirsty choker on and check. If you don't have that you are a terrible brigand.

is this the bloodthirsty choker? cuz if so i do have that... on blu-ray.

Great idea with the choker to check for items - it sure looks attractive ;-)

Unfortunately I don't have that yet - actually I'm not even 80 with my brig but close to (that's why I am thinking about which shard sets to get) and no luck on the few SoF runs so far. But I might as well ask brig friends about the choker - better chance that they have the choker than the shoulders.

Also there remains the question of the 3 piece bonus - this should still work if SOE meant what they said... although I'm going to get that anyways for the 4% base CA damage so I can answer that in a week or so when I'm 80...

Let me just tell you then that base spell damage does not effect poisons or procs. Directly means something like "increases dmg of poisons by 10%" where it specifically states the item effect that it changes.

Base spell effects one vial if you zone with the choker or somthing on, its a bug so its not supposed to
