Quick poison attack findings

TLDR: it's hit or miss depending on the enemy, some take 10% hp/action while others are .001% HP/action at skill level 1. It's worth it to use on bosses to see whether it's viable in a real kill attempt, but you'll probably get more mileage out of raw damage from other skills.

My MC has poison attack 3 so I figured I'd try testing out the new changes. Tested on b2f and abyss 3 normal mobs

Poison attack level 3, I only tested on b2f spinner woman because it's just not worth my time to test against abyss 3 enemies (see below). The proc damage is 48, on an enemy with between 301 and 334 health that's roughly 15% HP per enemy action.

Poison Attack Level 1:

Spinner woman b2f proc damage: 33. This is regardless of my stats, at 450 attack and barehanded the poison proc did 33 damage, which is about 10% HP per action.

Abyss 3 elephant arm proc damage: 14. This is about 1% max HP/action.

Abyss 3 scorpion lady proc damage: 1. Yep, 1. It took about 8 battles of fleeing at her near death to get a proc and it does a measley 1 damage.

So, my conclusion after some *very* quick testing is that *some enemies have resistance to poison damage* and that *the damage is percent HP based*. On a case by case this can be very useful (boss killing, even at 1% per action, is significant) or an absolute waste (.001% HP damage on scorpion lady)
