Poison Length Reduced

Diablo II Notation Basic Class Skill Item Ally Quest Area Monster Tale Attribute Unit Animation Attack Damage Death Crushing Blow Enhanced Minimum Maximum Adds Damage Damage + % Damage to Demons to Undead Deadly Strike Magic Fire Lightning Cold Poison Skill Damage ATD/ATLD DR/MDR Resistance Maximum Enemy Resist Immune Absorb Damage Magic Fire Lightning Cold Poison All PLR Poison Length Reduced by % modifies the length for which poison damage is applied by a percentage; PLR -100% is the floor, while PLR > 99% always reduces poison length to a single frame. Player and mercenary normally have a ceiling of PLR 75%, although any excess can offset penalties that might otherwise reduce it below this ceiling. Difficulty level penalties of PLR -40% in Nightmare and PLR -100% in Hell (-20% and -50% respectively in Classic games) also apply to them. It is only applied whenever a new source of poison damage is applied, so removing it afterwards will have no effect on current length; adding it after a target is poisoned will have no effect either. [1] It can be countered by -% Enemy Poison Resistance: for example, a player or mercenary equipping PLR 75% will be reduced to 25% by -50% EPR. [2] It tends to be of little importance for player and mercenary because monsters don't wait for poison length to expire before reapplying it; consequently they are likely to remain poisoned throughout a battle. Afterwards, they can use an Antidote Potion or Well, or return to town to be healed, to cure themselves immediately (a player can also use a Resist Poison Shrine) and prevent poison running its full course.

As a result, it does not add to PLR from the items listed above and it is applied separately afterwards. [3] Difficulty level penalties and the 75% ceiling do not apply. [4] Monster Monsters normally have no poison length reduction. The only possible exceptions are the Ancients, whose items can spawn with PLR suffixes: Korlic and Talic can spawn with PLR > 99%, which always reduces poison length to a single frame.
