    Bard Poison and You!

    I've noticed in a lot of content, especially CT content, monsters and certain targets are immune to Venom Bite. Anyone have a theory as to why say, Ifrit's Nail in Extreme, and the Battle Standards in the new Wanderer's Palace are immune to poison. But Ninja still gets their 20% damage from Poison. And Summoners/Scholars can put diseases on these.

    I wish I could ask a developer their logic behind this... "Why is it that I can poison a box of supplies; but the second I want to poison a mechanic I have to kill, it says no?"

    I can't think of a single enemy in CT that's immune to venomous bite.

    Atomos, or whatever the big gaping mouth dude in Labyrinth is. Unless they changed him over the past few patches.

    Pretty sure he isn't.

    He definitely isn't in WoD.

    I'm 70% sure he isn't in LoTA. Not 100% because always on pad as a bard.

    Bard poison is the same as any other DoT. Nothing that isn't invulnerable is immune to any of them.

    There was a time where "inorganic" targets would be immune to a handful of DoTs, mostly Arcanist ones (like the boxes in the Goblin Guildhest). They mostly undid that, but if you're still seeing this, you should get screenshots of this and report them, because this shouldn't be a thing anymore. I've never been a Bard in LotA but it definitely sticks on Atomos in WoD, so, that seems like an oversight if that's still happening.

    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.

    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)

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