    The descriptions ays it affects duration (im assuming length of time applied to weapon)

    But a low level and a lvl 77 poisoner are both seeing the same dmg and a 20 second duration.

    I can confirm similar testing results.

    Reproduction Rate: 100%

    Details:
    The poison weapon skill has no impact on the duration of the poison applied even though the skill says that's what it should do.
    I have timed duration of applied poison at level 1, level 10, level 20 and level 30 and the potion duration of 20 seconds does not change, nor does the damage of the poison itself. In addition, anyone with a poison potion can apply it regardless of whether they have unlocked the poison skill by working trip up to 40 and still poison their weapon for the 20 second duration.
    So as it stands now, by changing the poison skill to passive, it no longer serves any function in its current state.

    Reproduction Steps:
    Apply any poison to weapon and see the results of no change
    User Specs: O/s Windows 10, 64 bit, Intel core i7-6700 @ 3.4ghz, 16GB Ram, Nvidia GTX 970 GPU with 4 GB RAM

    This was fixed but seems to be broken again.

    This was supposed to be fixed in yesterday's patch, and there have been no further patches since. Do you have additional details about specifically what you are seeing that indicates it is not working?

    • Poison will now scale in duration based on the player’s level in Poison Weapon.

    It seems to be hit or miss. Sometimes when I load into a scene the tooltip as well as the poison weapon buff are displaying and only lasting 20 seconds. Other times when I load into a scene it correctly shows and applies my bonus duration which is around 33 seconds instead of 20.

    Yup it's definitely still broken. Now it's always showing a 20 second duration for me. Currently have Level 68 in Poison Weapon skill. @Attenwood

    @Attenwood Don't want to re-report as a new bug if this is still unresolved but just wanted to give an update that it's still broken. I have 74 poisoning skill and still only getting 20 second duration both in poison description as well as on buff when I use it.
