Snake Bite: Poison Attacks (+4 to the DC of Poison attacks) + Epic Envenomed Blade?

[Fivetigers33]

1. Does anyone know if this would apply to the DC of Deadly Spider Venom on the Epic Envenomed Blade.

2. If it does, would it make much of a difference in terms of landing the poison in lower level EE/R1 epics?

3. Is the DC boost something I could check in the combat log if the poison attack is coming from a weapon property?

1. Not sure

2. No. Even Improved Paralyzing only has a base DC of 25. When it hits in EE, it's because the mob rolled a 1. Making it a Will Save of 29 would not change this.

3. I don't believe so, but could be wrong about that.

This is kind of what I was thinking, though the Poison DC with the Filigree bonus would be 38, still nothing to write home about. I was just wondering if it would increase it at all from it's 5% chance to actually land. Paired with Enervation (1d4 negative levels which is up to -8 saves (effective 46 DC w/Filigree)), I figured it might make a difference. Maybe not.

With the Filigree it would be closer, yeah. If those count, the Toxin Affinity (+1/2/3 to the DC of poison attacks from Assassin) would probably count too, making it a 41 Will Save which isn't horrible. Not great, but not bad.

Not sure enervation would be worth counting for it though, Red/Purple names are immune to the affect and in epics the negs go away faily quickly too. Maybe something like Aura of Menace though :)

I'd use it as an orange name/champ weapon. Might just do it for the hell of it and work up to more poison damage with the set bonus.
