Hello all,
I recently started a cm/TKM and was looking for a little advice. I am going 4,0,0,4 cm and have a cm use of 75. What is the maximum effectiveness I can get for a mind poison?
I have a very weak mind poison c right now that is only 150 eff. It does absolutley no dmj that i can see to my opponents mind.
What is the effectiveness at which you really start to see a difference? If I have a 200+ effective poison would it eat their mind down very well, or do i need to wait until i getan over 300 eff poison to start incaping things/people?
thanks for the help!

At 4 0 0 4 CM any poison you use will do 1.75 times the effectiveness rating of that posion per tic.
Single C poisons should be, at the very least, 300 effectiveness. Mine are 340+. That is with 10 exp points spent in effectiveness. High potency poisons will have less effectiveness.
Area C poisons at 75 med use should have around 120+ potency and 175+ effectiveness.
Area C poisons above 75 med uses should have 120+ potency and 230+ effectiveness.
These are all without loot drops.
Edit: By the way, poisons will do no initial damage. It will take 10 seconds after it hits for a poison to do it's first damage tic. If the poison is cured before the first 10 seconds, the player will take no damage at all.

Thanks for the response. I think i was just not waiting long enough for the poison to take effect. I tried my newest poison (effectiveness 230) last night in a duel that lasted awhile. Finally, after a little bit i noticed the poison kick in. My duels were just ending too quickly i think for me to notice.
thanks again

heh, Silly TKM's kill to fast to even see the poison effect....heh 
yeah CM PvP is more of a "hit and Run...Waiting game" usualy. Other wise the PvP encounter is often over before the poison has any real effect.
But yeah, just about any C poison you make should be putting out a decent enough damage to be of use

These are very close to typical non-loot poisons on Scylla as well. With 12 exp points, you should be able to push a 75 med use area C to a bit over 200 effectiveness, for a 350 damage tick at 4004.
