I'm still learning the rogue and i have a question: Since shadowstrike is a poison based attack does getting poison damage gear increase the Shadowstrike power? Also does it help with poison dagger skill and Spider pet? The formulas that i read up on didn't say it did.

Poison damage gear simply increases your auto-attack damage.
Cunning and Dexterity increases shadowstrike damage as well as Poison Weapon bonus.
Pounce spider skill is affected by Spider Taming ability and level of pet.

Thats what the formula was saying, thank you. Question why is it that poison damage gear like offhands have a much smaller damage bonus than the cold/fire elements if its in the same part of the formula. Is it because of the low poison resist and high fire/frost resists?
