      This skill is often slept on and when it's not it's often used incorrectly. Put this on an OCCULT weapon and it will boost the poison buildup like crazy. The point of using this is to proc mushroom crown, exultation of rot, and (now with the DLC) poison hand together for a 42% AR buff for 20 seconds. The short poison damage timer works in your favour this way; more poison procs = more weapon damage. This is effective on some bosses, but amazing in PVP as people don't seem to get that healing the poison is exactly what you're counting on since it always reprocs in 2 or 3 hits. I put this on an occult Carian Thrusting Shield and the damage while buffed was crazy. I also put it on an occult Vulgar Militia Saw and you get high bleed and poison buildup.

        Set this to Bleed and this AoW is a Fire Giant delete button. Use this to proc poison in one cloud/aow use and hit him with bleed while the poison chips away; repeat. Yeah bleed is great on its own obviously, but I found this was a pretty perfect fit for that boss on a character who otherwise wasn't using bleed at all.

          The poison applied by the cloud and weapon buff appears to be a unique poison effect, or at least different from the standard poison. From my testing it seems that it deals 8 damage per second and lasts for 40 seconds. I didn't test the addition damage that is based off the max HP but appears to likely be the same as standard poison (0.07% Max HP per second).

            This thing is amazing in pvp encounters btw, slap it on a collosal sword and poison a gank squad all at once while also doing like 900 damage with the swing itself

              It's not indicate but you do the same damage as the spell Poison Mist so you do 400 damages par poison proc with poisonous Mist

                When used on the Great Stars, the heal effect triggers on every tick of poison build-up for each enemy in the mist (doesn't matter if they are poisoned or not, as long as they are touching the mist you get health back). Plus, a good way to buff your Great Stars if it is Occult; bypasses the inability to buff Occult weapons, and the poison buildup will scale with Arcane.

                  So to activate the element I need to use the weapon art right? It wont proc poison on its on if I activate the affinity on the weapon?
