Escapist Poison IX and other poisons duration changes?

I just researched this for 10+ minutes and couldn't find an answer anywhere. Escapist Poison IX and others like it are listed as having durations for freezing the other player and making you immune to crown control for 4+ seconds online. However when I go to craft the poison it is level 150 only and those 2-effects above only last for about 1.5 seconds, not 3-times longer as a lot of sites list. Did poison get nerfed? If so, roughly when? Is there no way of making poisons that are level 160 or that have longer durations than 1.5 seconds for the most desirable effects?
Thank you.

    Do you have the passives that extend potion duration?
    In the alchemy skill line.

    Yes I have them all. The poison still doesn't last as long as it used to. Many sites have the "old" descriptions of the poisons but I'm guessing they were all nerfed. If anyone can confirm and give more detail it's much appreciated. The Escapist Poison IX at such a short duration just isn't worth it IMO.

    Adding in more effects on a poison does reduce the length of time that it's applied.

    Also, I think I recall them changing how poisons proc, so that they're more guaranteed (instead of a chance of a chance type thing), so they may have reduced the duration but increased the amount they proc. (I'm not certain on this though, as I don't play a stamina character that often, and almost never in content where it really matters)

    The chance is still 20% so as far as I know that didn't change. I just can't seem to find a way to get the duration higher like it used to be. So either I don't have the right recipe or they nerfed the duration on this as they probably thought it was too OP.

    I'm able to get a tooltip on Escapist Poison IX of 4.4 seconds using Wormwood, Columbine and Namira's Rot.

    But single effect only, it has no additional effects.

    Thanks I got it. I guess I was confused by all the incorrect or outdated recipe information online and the fact that you can make several versions of the same potion that all have the same name but different effects.
