How much damage does "Envenomed Strike" do

[Namutree]

The game gives me no clue how much damage this ability does. It only tells me the duration. I want to know the damage!

the damage varies, depending on whether you get a grazing hit, normal, or crit.

the chance to hit with it goes against the target's fortitude defense, though I *think* you also need to actually hit the target (overcome deflection) before the poison rolls against the fortitude defense.

per hit, it averages about 2-3 damage per second, for 5-15 seconds, or thereabouts, depending on how good the hit was.

it's raw damage, so it bypasses dr and armor.

it can stack, at least from the same source; not sure if also from multiple different sources.

you can indeed, with the right weapon, do some serious damage with it.

I use this on my PC Cipher and Grieving Mother. Each picks a VIP to Mental Bind, then uses Envenomed Strike with their unique blunderbusses to both KO that enemy and front-load an entire battle worth of focus.

Exactly, blunderbuss is the weapon of choice for his one, at least till patch 1.05
