I know that it doesn't work on Poison-immune monsters (like bosses), but for most skills, per-hit, you get a chance to inflict some serious damage, and they add up. I've seen a NL get out a lot of 20ks on Skele from Venom (because he sure couldn't hit that much per hit of TT). I've heard it also goes over 30k max. :D There is a formula, but idk it. :[

Venom does around 5-k10k damage at level 30. BUT it can be applied up to 3times to one monster, so it can reach around 30k+ (each hit has a chance % to apply poison). It also accumulates, so it can go from 5k, and then it gets poisoned again, adding 10k damage, so the monster continuously gets 15k damage. 4 seconds duration means 5-6 hits on the monster, 15k-30k damage 5-6times (OMG GODLY O_o)

idk about what other ppl here said but im using lvl 1 venom and i know it hits between 1.5k to 9k, lasts for 2 seconds [hits about twice every second] so thats somewhere between 6k - 36k dmg if it activates on my first hit [chances increase with SB], dont forget thats EXTRA dmg since its a passive skill [u dont need to waste time activating it]. i think venom is a godsend, i mean up to 36k dmg without any effort... cmmon!

Like BaBaGaS said, its a passive skill, and has a certain % to activate *meaning you don't have to cast it for it to work, it automatically works with any attack, at least to my knowledge* God, I wanna hit 120 so much more now! >_<

Wait, does Venom have a chance of poisoning every time one star hits a monster? Let's say I avenger a mob. Everytime the big star goes through a monster there's a chance that it poisons it? ... And if I use Triple throw + shadow partner on a monster, each time one of the six stars hits the monster there's a chance of poisoning? Or does it only work everytime I cast triple throw once?

To the person who said Venom doesn't work with Avenger. It does work. 1) Yes there's a chance to poison all the monsters that it hits 2) If you use Triple Throw, you only have a chance of activating Venom on the 3 stars that YOU throw. Your SP's hits don't count. So for example, with Level 1 Venom (12% success rate). You have a 36% chance of activating Venom once, not 72%. (Using TT)

You have no idea what you are talking about, it does work with avenger -_- Venom can be applied to the same monster, each shot has a chance to accumulate venom, up to 3 times on the same monster
