Let's be reasonable, you're upset because nobody responded between 3am and 6am eastern time...some of us do sleep you know.

Look for poisons with at least 96 potency. Single poisons (not sure if they don't use advanced comps) should prolly be at least 200 effectiveness and can go as high as 350ish (very rare). Area poisons look for at least 150 effectiveness, but good resources and advanced comps will get you much more.

Edit: sorry, forgot the explanations...potency is what affects the resist rate. In my experience, a potency abouve 95 is very rarely resisted. Effectiveness determines damage. A Master CM causes double the effectiveness in damage. Please check the FAQ stickied abouve in the forums to find the formula for determining damage whan not a master.
