What are posion/disease effects?

[Gs11]

I have question about poison and disease effect. I've seen several abilities/affixs from items available for Player, which could make immune status for posion/disease, for example "Purge of Toxins" Druid's spell. But never seen  ability/spell which could inflicts strictly poison/disease effect(also in description) on targeted enemy.

 

So  what specific spells/skills inflicts such a effect?  Could Player apply such a  effect on monster, or these are only reserved for monsters  and Player can only have  posion/disease ressistant  buffs?

In other words, against which abilities it's worth to cast immune poison/disease buffs on character?

 

Against which specific monsters and how their skills are called for example?

Never noticed poison effect being so dangerous. That's why I never had a moutain dwarf in my party.

 

There's a couple spells with poison effects, but I never really noticed them from ennemies.

 

Spiders tend to poison you a lot, but damage are not impressive.

I should understand that only monsters can aplly this effect? No playable  class  has such a ability/spell?

There's a generic talent that triggers a poisonnous attack.

 

Some spells like the wizard lvl 5 malignent cloud (I think it's called like this) are also categorized as poison and resisted as such.

You mean Envenomed_Strike ?

 

So when I'd have buff which gives my immunity to posion , skill like Envenomed Strike/spider's poison from monster attack would NOT affect on me?

 

In other way, when I'd use Envenomed Strike on creature with immune to poison, my attack would also NOT pass?
