Does Armor Affect Poison Damage?

[Ceres666]

Mainly i'm thinking of Toxic Ancients and their crawling versions.  Does armor mitigate their poison at all?

I haven't tested it thoroughly, but I think armor does negate some of the DoT damage. My Saryn takes about 2-3 damage per tick at 160 armor, while my Nyx takes 7-10 damage per tick at 10 armor. BUT, I could be wrong as the missions I do vary greatly level wise.

 

Edit: Going to test it now as now I'm a bit curious, I'll be back in an hour or so. - 4/25/13 2:14PM

 

Ignore and skip to the next post.

Test Subject: J3 Golem at Thermisto, Jupiter. Level 19

 

With 160 armor as Saryn

11 damage per tick in the poison cloud. Renews the poison duration as long as you remain in the AoE.

1 damage per tick outside the poison cloud for 4-5 seconds.

 

With 100 armor as Saryn

11 damage per tick in the poison cloud.

1 damage per tick outside the poison cloud for 4-5 seconds.

 

So the answer is no from what I can tell, armor does not reduce poison damage.

Some bosses has innate defense against everything (Jackal and Krill), but no toxic acients or anything toxic my saryn does 10 dmg each tick with venom.
