My question is about the 7-8% poison damage increased.
I use to use Acid Cloud spell with Lob blob bomb (the slime). Does the 7% poison damage bonus affect the slime damage? Or only the "splash" of the skill?
And what about the Gargantuan poison cloud of Big Stinker rune?
Edit: I can't add an image because I didn't reach 10 post, but well, if you know the answer is because you know the item.
My questions comes because the poison damage from this skills is not done directly from me, it's done by the slime and the gargantuan and I wasn't sure if their area dmg is increased by that affix
its not "poison damage increased" but "adds 8% to poison damage" which is completely different
blizzard even explained in a blue post... u take your weapon damage and all damage increasing affixes u have on your gear (mojo, rings amulet etc.) and then add another 8% poison damage into calculation of your general DPS
It's not "add 7-8% poison damage", it's "add 7-8% TO poison damage".
@OP
It will increase the slime radiate damage, as far as the slime's "bite" you'll have to test it yourself, but it's probably not even 1% of your total dps to begin with. It should also increase any +poison damage you might have on your weapon by 7-8%.

Person you quoted had it correct - and there is a blue post on the subject.
Things that effect skills, specifically say "adds 3% to fire skill damage"
adds x% to poison damage, adds exactly that - adds 8% of your weapon damage as poison. What this means is any spells you use gain the benefit of that 8% damage - NOT JUST poison damage.
In addition, any spells that list "physical damage" become that elemental type. This was relevant before affix resistance nerfs- but now only really gains an additional bennefit if the damage type is cold (slows enemy).
Also; note that it's not a flat X% increase, even if using +to poison, on poison skills (again, which skill you use DOES NOT effect the benefit). It's because of where it's calculated in the formula.
There's a handy blue tracker at the top of this website, though I could gladly link you it if you'd like.
Its a nice little bump but from what I have read you should never try to stack it if it means losing out on crit hit and or crit dmg. I know you are speaking about boots specifically here but when looking for other gear upgrades dont focus on specifically trying to stack the + poison dmg%.
Someone on the trade forums is selling one of the pieces of the set for 60 mil. I asked if he could come down a little to fit my budget (around 100k). We'll see what he says.
If your weapon is purely physical, 8% poison is pretty close to 8% ias so you'll get an increase of dps. If your weapon has elemental damage you'll get less benefit.
Nice.

IAS is only a dps increase if you can keep up with the mana cost while spamming your highest damage spell. Don't always trust the paper doll DPS sheet while gearing. It does not tell the whole story.

The affixes that affect skill-type specifically are something like 'increases fire skills damage by x%'.

Actualy i have Boj Anglers with 141INT and 6%IAS.
I have 195K DPS.
And i use the spreadsheet to calc the upgrades.
I have the oportunity to buy the Zuni's Trail with 192INT and 8%poison damage.
But the spreadsheet says that i'll loose 4.6K dps.
And i don't know how to calculate those 8%Poison Damage.
Do u guys think that Zuni's Trail will increase my dps? Or only with 2set bonus?
Should i keep using my Boj Anglers?
Sorry about my english and thanks for the help.
