Poisonous Concoction | PoE Wiki (2024)

Poisonous Concoction is an unarmed attack skill gem that throws an explosive bottle, dealing area damage with a chance to poison. Charges can be consumed from a Life Flask to add further damage. This skill gem requires an empty main hand, and no off-hand weapon or quiver.

A Poisonous Flask is visibly attached to your Character's Belt when the skill is socketed in one of your equipped items.

The projectiles from Poisonous Concoction are ground-targeted, cannot collide with enemies, and cannot pierce, fork, split or chain; only the explosion hits and does damage.

The explosion will visually turn red if the skill consumed Life Flask charges on that attack.

AoE breakpoints:The base radius of the skill is 18. 13% increased AoE gives the skill a radius of 19, 26% increased AoE gives a radius of 20, and 37% increased AoE gives a radius of 21.Testing with 9 total projectiles showed that most projectiles will overlap when the radius is 20 (average 8.8 out of 9), and all projectiles will overlap when the radius is 21^[1]
