[2021] Poison support doesn't work

" Nifilium wrote: My friend is playing ball lightning/herald of agony build. And when you link ball lightning with poison support you don't get virulence stacks, at all.
Even though lightning ball says it has 60% chance to poison. Lesser poison works though.

Thanks for your report, this is intended.

In order to apply Poison you need to deal either Physical or Chaos damage (there are some exceptions such as Volkuur's Guidance), the reason Lesser Poison Support works is because it adds flat Chaos Damage to supported skill whereas Poison Support doesn't.

I hope this helps.
