Max Poison Nova Damage?

[:1]Quick question before I begin: are poison charms factored into poison nova, and if so, how?

Ok so what's the best setup gear wise for a Poison Necro?

Things that come to mind:

all the +skills I can get

deaths web

3-piece trangs

Bramble

Is that it?|||i don't think they are....

and yes on the gear + socking with +5%/-5% (thought empahsis is on the -15%) psn facets....

im not sure whats better bramble or nigma?..i think id prefer the nigma...despite the % psn dmg....

maybe a spirit for the +2 or the nec head with +3 to psn skill i forget what its called.....shako..etc...|||Best Damage Setup for a poison necro

+3 Poison and Bone Circlet of the Whale, 2os

+3 Poison and Bone Amulet

Faceted Trang Head (for -poison resist with 3 parts

Trang Belt (2nd of 3 parts)

Trang gloves (3rd part, gives you 25% poison dmg on own)

50% Bramble

Faceted Perf DWeb, -50% resists w/o facets

Torch

Anni

9x PNB Gcs

2x Sojs

13406-13739 poison damage with -235 to poison resist with a -65 lower resist and all of your -resist gear, so against almost all chars w/o extreme stacked resists, you should be dealing well over 26k damage per cast, and that will take care of pretty much everything else in the game, especially if you put some spare points into the summon tree to get some revives and a golem, so that you can spam nova with some distraciton for other monsters/players|||u can place a facet in the trang oul wing too and te result:

-25%+(-50%)+3x(-5%)=-90% enemy poison res without LR

50%+25%+3x5%=+90% poison skill damage|||also dont forget 4 socket monarch with 4 5/5 poison facets is also an option that you have.

trangs partial set is nice but not needed really IMHO|||Quote:

Using Trang wing gives u -25% resist, +2 pnb which is about 15% damage, poison resist, fire resist, 60% block (versus 42% for monarch). It also requires only 50 strength (versus 156 for monarch).

If you have a spare -20/20 poison monarch, then sure it is an option. I don't suggest you purposely make one because AFAIK, Trang wings cost less than buying 4 5/5 poison facets.|||Nigma>>Bramble in real play even bramble gives higher Pnova damage in theory. I've tried it last ladder.

No poison charms do not add more poison nova damage. You benefit your nova with poison dmg% and -epr. If you want max damage IGNORING -epr setup here would be the setup:

magic wand 3 pnb/3 poison nova x2 5/5 poison facets

2 skills arkaines valor 5/5 poison facet or 50% bramble (not sure what would add more, I would have to test it out myself to figure that out)

magic necro head 3 pnb/3 poison nova x2 5/5 poison facets

3 pnb ammy

3 pnb circ x2 5/5 poison facets

arach

x2 soj or x2 bk or bk/soj

trang gloves ofc

Sounds crazy to sacrafice so much -epr for raw damage but totally possible to hit massive dmg.|||I think I saw a screenshot of stats of a pvp novamancer with 10k damage, enigma build.
