This is probably not a bug, but simply a poorly worded tooltip. The tooltip says;

“If you directly hit a target with poison shot, it does 200% more damage.”

If it would do what the tooltip says, it would make the initial hit do more damage and on top of that, it would do 720% (!!!) weapon damage over 20 seconds instead of 240%. And that would be an AoE effect to top it all off. This would make it the most overpowered skill in the game. It would probably turn New World into Bow World.

What it should say, is probably along the lines of;

“Increases the damage of the direct hit by 200%. Does not affect the poison damage over time effect.”

Or something along those lines.

This is also the reason I simply don’t pick this skill, btw. It does increase the initial arrow hit if you directly hit a target. But this increase isn’t that good when you consider the massive cooldown on the skill. That point can be incested in more important passives.

poison is 10% of weapon damage,and if you direct hit it should be 200% of that 10%, or 20% of weapon damage,so this must be fixed,it’s a bug.

[kaziel]

Doesn’t the next line replace it with 12% damage?

So that has to be taken into account too

[BomberZober]

how can it be 12%?

[dezet]

Poison shot deals damage of non-descripted scaling.
Poison shot also creates a debuff of 10% weapon damage over 20 seconds.

1. Upgrade infected shots increases debuff to 12% weapon damage over 20 seconds.
2. Upgrade increases direct hit damage by 200% (which means it deals 3 times the damage than without this upgrade), but does not apply to the debuff which is correct.

If the 2nd doesnt provide any damage increase at all I cant tell, I didnt test (nor would I use it anyway), but it doesnt apply to the debuff.
