Breach/Fracture and poison bow attacks.

Zsymon · May 2015

How are poison bow attacks such as Lethal Arrow and Venom arrow resisted exactly? Are they resisted by armor, by spell resistance, by only poison resistance or by both spell resistance and poison resistance?

Or in other words will afflicting my target with Breach or Fracture have any effect on my Lethal/Venom Arrow damage?

Armour and Poison Resistance.

If it uses stamina it is resisted by armour, if it uses magicka it is resisted by spell resistance.

So Poison Resistance basically increases with Armor?

Armor value increases both physical and spell resists, and increase as the armor value does. While poison is considered a spell resist like, disease and elements like fire, frost it's calculated uniquely still. There are also champion system areas to protect from poison and jewelry glyphs too.

The arrow is a physical penetration and venom and poison a spell resists one. I cannot answer for certain whether breach or fracture increase the physical arrow damage. But off-hand I believe they should if applied before the arrow hits. Should be able to test it easily though.

In other words, nobody knows?

or has anyone tested this yet?
