As an update, to explain the poison stats, as I'm not sure if you are familiar with them.

Strength affects how much it ticks for. As Master Combat Medic, my poisons effectively tick for twice that number, as I have +100 CM Effectiveness. I imagine it will tick for 207 for you guys though.

Duration is self-explanatory, allthough I don't believe I get a duration stat for my poisons. I don't remember seeing one at least. I think my poisons usually last around 10-15 minutes, although that may be affected by the number of times a player is incapped as poisons will cease to work for two minutes after a person recovers from incap I believe. It's possible that the duration is listed in ticks, which would be more consistent with CM poisons.

Potency affects how often it works against a target. I get my poisons to around 90 potency and rarely have resists. Not sure how much this is affected by CM skills, or whether this means 5/10 times it will be resisted or not.

Uses is pretty self-explanatory as well.

That was just an update for general knowledge, as I realized some of you might not be familiar with poisons and what the hell they do.

Night sisters give up similar loot except in the form of lances. They have poison DOTs in health action or mind. Usually 800 to 1000 charges.

I've looted a DH17 carbine off of a Storm Trooper around the Emp's retreat. It had horrible damage but had nice mind poison. These are high level loot items from High level NPCs.

Interested in selling this thing, not sure what it should go for.

Looted off boss mob (Mordrun).

PowerHammer 7.4spd 79-362

HAM 87/24/9

Damage over time:

Mind Poison, Str: 207 Dur: 85s Pot: 50 Uses: 1303

Probably situational, but I've never seen a weapon with a DoT, and swordsman I asked stated this was not the usual case.

Any clue anybody?

...people have looted other weapons with poison recently...i actually looted a 1h sword with poison the other day..

...i guess the tragic point about this is the fact that the PH, combined with our specials is a mind poison in itself...

Thanks for posting this

could get alot for it im sure.

just for your information. I have looted a CDEF rifle and a DH17 carbine, both with mind poisons, from the simple ragtag cooks and meatlumps surrounding coronet. They didn't have as much in strength as the powerhammer mentioned here, but I just thought I'd point out that these kind of weapons do drop from lower level mobs also...

I wouldnt pay much, even though it has a nice dot, that 7.4 speed time hurts its practical use.

What and where did you loot it off of

Actualy now that i think about it, I personaly prob wouldnt buy it. Kill people in 1 or 2 hits usualy anyways. No time for the poison to kick in hehe.

I picked up a sword with fairly crappy stats with plus 10 vs kd /shrug holding on to it for now.

the slow speed is irrelevent since he only has to use it once (assuming it sticks) and then switch to regular sword. or thats how I would use it.
