Stupid question about affinities, feel free to clown me lol

[Feastables]

Is it possible to imbue a weapon with poison and if so, should I focus arcane for that?

Compliment that build with other statuses as poison won't be enough.

I did actually! I was leaning towards Rot or Bleed but it'll depend on what the weapon is since Scarlet Rot isn't an affinity you can apply to anything.

You could use the serpent coil shield while using antspur with bleed to apply bleed, (deadly) poison, and rot.

Arcane scales poison buildup but does little to nothing for damage. You will want to level dexterity primarily for damage while supplementing enough arcane to allow you to quickly procc status effects.

There is also a Katana that applies a unique deadly poison that is much stronger than the regular one from infusion or the ashes of war that you can use and it scales primarily with dexterity IIRC.

You can dual wield aformentioned katana with another unique katana that can buff itself with it's ashe of war to also procc frostbite(which scales with intelligence unfortunately) and it will be far more effective than just using two poison infused weapons.

lol and people say soul's communities are toxic.
Not many clown you here for an honest question in my experience.

To add my voice to your Q, yes but poison is so-so, it's a nice DoT if you just want something extra but ultimately there are far better options you can use, like rot, which is a personal fav of mine, tho id be lying if I also said poison on that one bow was never useful...if not a bit tedious at times.
