This percentage is affected multiplicatively by ailment effect/magnitude. Ailment damage cannot be scaled directly; however, it can be indirectly scaled by modifying the hit damage.

Poison can stack and has a default stack limit of 1; this can be increased through various stats or modifiers. Each instance of poison has an independent duration and only the highest damage instance(s) of poisons up to your stack limit will deal damage.
