Poison is a support gem. It increases the poison damage of linked skills and grants them the ability to poison enemies on hit.
Skill functions and interactions
Damage - The Poison gem deals 10% of a hit's combined chaos and physical damage as chaos damage per second, and lasts 2 seconds by default. [1] Poison's damage is affected by the following stats:
- Damage Over Time
- Damage
- Chaos Damage
- Poison Damage
Furthermore, Poison "inherits" the damage type of the skill applying it. Stats affecting that skill's damage type will affect the poison damage as well. The following damage types stats also affect poison damage:
- Projectile Damage if applied by a Projectile skill[2]
- Area Damage if applied by an Area skill[3][4]
- Trap Damage if applied by a Trap[5]
- Mine Damage if applied by a Mine[5]
- Totem Damage if applied by a Totem[5]
- Minion Damage if applied by a Minion[5]
For example, if Poison is linked to a projectile skill that deals 1000 damage, then Poison deals 100 damage per second. If projectile damage is increased by 10%, then the projectile skill deals 1100 damage and the poison deals (110 * 1.1) = 121 damage per second. In this way, the poison damage "double dips" from changes in these stats.
Skill Effect Duration - Stats that modify skill effect duration will apply to the poison duration, even if the skill does not have the "Duration" gem tag. [2]
Note - Enemies killed by the Poison DoT are always credited to the player, even if another source belonging to the player applied the Poison, and even if the player cannot deal damage themselves (such as with the Ancestral Bond keystone passive). For example, if Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Poison" is linked to skills such as 
Siege Ballista or 
Raise Zombie, and an enemy dies as a result of a Poison applied by those skills, then the player receives credit for the kill and any on-kill benefits (such as the life, mana, and Power charges from Module Error: Too many skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Assassin's Mark". Please choose only one of the following ids:
AssassinsMark - Base duration is (6-9.8) seconds, Hits against Cursed Enemies have +(30-49)% to Critical Strike Multiplier, Hits against Cursed Enemies have +1.5% to Critical Strike Chance, Cursed enemies grant (65-600) Life when Killed, Cursed enemies grant (25-80) Mana when Killed, Cursed enemies have a 100% chance to grant a Power Charge when slain (page)
AssassinsMarkTriggered - Base duration is (7.4-8.2) seconds, Hits have +1.5% additional Critical Strike Chance against you, Trigger this Skill when you Hit a Rare or Unique Enemy (page)), not the totem/minion.
