Mind Poison means that it should damage the Mind.
Duration is how long it will last for. I can't remember if poisons tick every 10 or 20 seconds. So you'll get either 7 or 13 'ticks' about.
The potency is like a wound chance. It's the chance of the poison to take effect.
Strength is how much damage it will do per 'tick'.
Uses is how many times the poison can be used.
That may not be correct as I haven't used any poison DoT items in quite some time.

Thanks.
So, if I had a DOT that targeted the action pool, would the "ticks" also be either every 10 or 20 seconds in between? Or do they have different "tick" times? Like all Action pool DOT's tick every XX seconds....

Also, if I had two differnet weapons that had DOT's on the same pool and I switched out weapons after the first one "stuck" would the effects stack against that pool if I got the second weapon to also "stick"?

Only the one that does the most damage would stick. Each pool can be poisoned seperately. But only once per pool.

You can stack dots from different weapons on same pool. Same as commandos can stak dots with differnet flamethrowers.
