Poison (also known as [[Acid]]) is one of the types of [[elemental]] [[damage]] in Diablo III. It is green in appearanceand often appears in puddles or splashes that deal [[DoT]] to enemies in the green. Poisoned targets suffer Corpses killed by poison weapons or poisonous skills emit greenish smoke.  Unlike poison in Diablo 2, Diablo 3's poison is basically just a healing debuff, losing green type of damage that deals full damage upon the hit points over time and suffering reduced healing as well. The loss of hit points over time is usually much more substantial than the initial It does not necessarily have any lingering damage done by the poison attackproperties.
Poison damage is dealt by a number of Witch Doctor skills such as [[Poison Dart]], [[Plague of Toads]], [[Zombie Charger]], [[Corpse Spiders]], and [[Acid Cloud]]. Other skills may gain poison damage from a [[runestone]]. [[Hydra]] is one known example.

Various monsters possess Poison Players mitigate the damage, inflicting it of poison attacks with spell attacks or as a bonus property on their melee or ranged attacks. Boss monsters may gain poison damage via the [[Plagued]] modifierPoison resistance.
Poison damage can be [[resist]]ed with Poison resistance. It can not be blocked, but can be [[reduce]]d or [[absorb]]ed. It's not known if there are any poison-curing potions or elixirs in Diablo III, as there were in Diablo II.

Though poison attacks often splash and look liquid or appear in puddles of acid, the damage type functions like all the others (except cold) dealing damage at the time of impact but not imparting any lasting health drain (aside from some special skills that specifically list their damage over time).
==Diablo III Damage Types==Special effects from poison damage may return in Reaper of Souls.
