Bard Poison and You!

[Airashii]

Pretty sure you're either missing the shot (what's your accuracy?) or that the buff simply isn't showing up. When there's a ton of debuffs on the target I've noticed the venom doesn't show up while the Windbite still does.

My accuracy without food is 532. I would find it awkward for me to miss anything outside of Bahamut prime with that accuracy.

The White Magestones in Amdapor hard are probably immune. Also the rocks in Copperbell hard. Both of those are also immune to Spirits Within (you get a No Effect message)

It does the no effect, but it does the upfront physical damage. The DoT doesn't apply.

I know what he's talking about, but a number of the replies AFTER cite examples where the number of stacks would make it seem like immunity is taking place because the boss doesn't register the DoT

The DoT applies as my understanding. The DoT isn't displayed because the maximum has already been displayed. The way you can tell it's already applied, is that your DoT won't reappear on the mob until it complete wears off even if there are available visible spots on the debuff bar.

Atamos in the First Crystal Tower is the only mob I can think of that ever resisted venomous bite.

There's actually a maximum number of a single DoT that can be applied to a single target. I can't remember the exact number, but on WoD runs with more than 6 bards and pretty much every S rank ever, getting my DoTs, especially Venomous Shot, to stick is a chore and a half.

thats not what OP is talking about. there are certain enemies that flat say immune to venomous bite. like one other person said, the crystal in turn 7 is immune, as are the rocks in coperbell.

Uh no to the second?
They definitely can be Poison Arrowed, me and my Mates even made fun of how that's possible or in what way it makes sense.
Haven't checked for Turn 7.

I know for a fact that the rocks in Copperbell are imune to Bane, but you can still manually apply the dots to it.

[Argyle_Darkheart]

There is no reason this should ever be a thing.

SE, fix this.

[Gunspec]

Most inorganics that are immune to dots have very low health, so your dots wouldn't have a chance to tick very much anyway. I kind of thought that making them immune was SE's way of saying "just kill it quick with straight shot". And bards in LotA usually stay on the pad to kill adds, so maybe it just went unnoticed by the devs.

But Ninja still gets their 20% damage from Poison. And Summoners/Scholars can put diseases on these.

Ninja don't have a poison DoT. Only as a selfbuff.
It increase the dmg you do by 20% (selfbuff), but it don't increase the dmg the target get by 20% (debuff on the target)
