    Hello, thanks to everyone for the feedback here. Regarding gem of the toxin it does 1/10th of the damage per second divided into 0.5 second ticks on the target, displayed as white damage numbers not crits. Toxin is not affected by anything that increases poison SKILL damage, like Nayers black death. Basically the damage of toxin is a bit less than Wreath but hits far more consistently.

    Yeah that's why I'm saying that GoET seems significantly better than WoL if WoL's damage is divided by 5 - because at that point GoET's damage is just a little bit less than WoL per tick but 1) it hits all enemies, not just 5 at a time, and it's based purely on hitting them (not based on a chance) 2) it lasts more than 3 times as long 3) it increases all of the rest of your (and your allies') damage 4) it gives you mitigation.

    If both gems are at level 80, WoL would be 650% damage per hit and GoET would be 600% damage per hit...
    So literally you're getting... move speed? Outside of a speedfarming scenario, specifically, this just makes WoL seem like complete trash to me.
