Viper - 2 socket high-end dagger runeword
2+ All Skills
3+ Poison Dagger
3+ Rabies
Ignore Enemies Defense
75- to Enemies Poison Resist
11-15 Fantastasm aura
Monsters Slayed by poison dagger - explode = to current level corpse explosion

Boom!

Definitely seems like a decent weapon to try and persuade people to use poison dagger. Hopefully it’s fairly cheap.

What’s your source?

Edit - this thing would actually give Death’s Web a run for it’s money… the -75% poison res is huge

Its idea for a weapon. sense we have no dagger runewords. questions is what do think runes should be

really meant to support poison nerco build

on second glance, this seems like a GG endgame poison necro item (whether or not they use poison dagger). The essentially “Corpse Explosion” for PD is very interesting as well.

I would say it should be fairly decent rune cost. Maybe Gul-Sur range… I say 2 socket daggers Gul Lum

Gul Lum sounds fair thanks for your in put

Dweb’s price just plummeted by 99%?

Nah this is broken. Gives everything you would want and 2 runes would never justify this power level. lvl 30 venom? cmon.

Ill try to explain to you why this isn’t broken. 1 its nercomancer only weapon ever seen a nercomancer try melee in hell doesn’t end well. two its a dagger. its damage isn’t gonna be fantastic. even with lvl30 vemon attached to it

lvl20 vemon is 400+ addition damage lvl30 is about 600. only thing that it is used for is poison dagger. watch is needed not enough poison assist items in the game. let alone ones that give you enough by pass immunities with infinity on a mercy too, not mention monsters have to die. by the poison. not actaul physical hit

Ignore enemies defenses is needed sense attacking rating isn’t really nercomancers thing if didnt have it without it no damage.

if never played nercomancer then honestly you dont know weakness evolving poison dagger cause its ability that no one uses only for the memes

reason why vemon is s tier on assassin cause they hit things muiti-times in single move. same cant be said for nerco

another thing poison looks strong on paper but its actually trash. 6+ points poison dagger may seem lot but in actually game play not so much

This thing just blows Death’s Web out of the water as it has 25% more negative enemy resist instead of 1-2 poison skills. Since Death’s Web is the best weapon for poison builds, this would be THE weapon to use on all poison builds. This would also be the best weapon to use for Rabies druids as the ignore target defense and -75% enemy poison resist.

You actually wouldn’t want Venom on this weapon though, since new sources of poison overwrite older/current sources of poison. So you would be overwriting poison dagger poison with venom’s damage.

what ya think

this way it supports both werewolf. summon druid and nerco summon poison as well. with lower parts

Lol absurd stats. Way too powerful. Completely negates Death’s Web which is already extremely rare. You’re also adding a Fana aura? This isn’t even within the realm of a balanced rune word.

Beast has fantastism aura. faith has fantastism area. has way more affexs then this. Hoto still more powerful then this cause defensives it gives

watch is higher can turn iron golem into either item. not op most runewords have 4-6 slots have about total 10 affexs this only only has 6-7

also getting 2 sloted decent dagger is if not hard equal getting death rep did 100 runs not single 2 spoted high end dagger drops

i mean enigma is busted beyond believe my weapon dont even close close to it

Gul+Sur maybe?
I’ve seen worse runeword suggestions on these forums. We still don’t know if they will buff a Poison Dagger Necro yet though so, maybe a bit OP if they do.

Also, This does not blow DWeb out of the water, What are you all talking about?

DWeb can have a Poison Facet in it (netting +3-5 poison skill damage) and, can have +2 more skills than this runeword would. A Poison Nova necro wouldn’t even benefit from the physical mods or the Fana Aura.
Granted, it would be extremely powerful and, would give DWeb a run for it’s money given the static -75, I wouldn’t argue that. Maybe it could be balanced to make the -poison resist a variable instead of static. However to say it would “Blow DWeb out of the water” is a gross overstatement, don’t be ridiculous.

Price should be very high to keep deaths web competitive… something like Cham ber.

It have be costly to extend specially when its only dagger runeword in game me thinks

After some research I retract my statement of this “blowing Death’s Web out of the water”… However, I still believe it to be superior than it.

Using a skill calculator for a well geared poison nova necro with Death’s Web, I was getting -7% poison res doing slightly more damage than +1 skills. So if -7% res = +1 skill, then -25% res should be about 3.5 skills worth of damage, which is like a perf Death’s Web with +1.5 skills. Add a Facet to Death’s Web does bring it much closer in damage, but this would still outperform it.

This would have to have some high runes to make if you are going to make it easier to obtain than a perf Death’s Web.

I would use this dagger runeword over Beast on my summon necro and just not use poison dagger

What poison dagger and rabies need isn’t more dmg, but to shorten it’s duration so we don’t need to stab a target, waited for 11ish second for it to finish it’s cycle and do another stab and repeat this slow cycle.

It would be much better if their synergy is to shorten the poison duration instead of pure increase damage.

there is a summon nerco/poison nova

I wouldn’t even use poison nova. Just CE
