It feels like there is some alternate reality Plarium is living in, where arena teams are running Lethal Dose and dominating the charts, and so they absolutely need a buff that can prevent them from getting crushed by those poisoners ...
Hahaha. You mean I'm the only one crushing live arena with Dose???
I don't think introducing the Poison Cloud Buff is really about Poisons at all. I think it is all about the weak hits that come from having the buff up. I think making that a Buff that Toons can use is a dumb idea, but they didn't ask me.
While I am at it, I also think that introducing toons that can ignore the "Block Debuffs" buff with their active skills is also really stupid. I mean, what is the point of having the buff if it can just be ignored w/o being removed.
Plarium is losing the plot.
Oh! I'll be the first to admit I did *not* realise that her Poison Cloud buff was the same as the one that Blight has. If it is in fact the same buff, the description on the tooltip really should be updated, as right now all it says is "Poison Cloud buff blocks damage from Poison debuffs. If a Champion got an HP Burn debuff before the Poison Cloud was applied, then the effects of the Poison Cloud won't work, but the buff itself will not be removed. It's not affected by the Steal Buff, Remove Buff, Spread Buff, Increase Buff Duration, Decrease Buff Duration effects."
And if it does mean that anyone affected by it converts all incoming attacks into Weak hits, then I suppose it does have more value - still not completely sure where I'd use it, but it's definitely more useful than just blocking poisons.

Seems like could be useful for arena perhaps. A bit like a ShuZen option.
