poison damage
why is major fracture increasing the poison damage dealt

i tested on a random mob the Lethal Arrow (single target attack from bow).
simple it deals 6200, and wich major fracture it deals 7000. Why this? it's completely poison damage, and fracture increases the physical damage target takes

also, the "mighty" champion points perk, which increases poison damage by 15%, applies to this ability too, since it deals poison damage? or just to the dots

Fracture reduces enemy's physical resistance. and Major Fracture is about 5280 which increases your attacks by %8-10. That's why

yes but it reduces enemy physical resistance, ONLY physical resistance, and that shot is ONLY poison damage, how can poison damage deal more damage on a creature that has less physical resistance

That's because poison is a physical element. Physical damage types are physical, poison, bleed and desease.

About mighty, poison is an element. Dot or direct damage are delivery methods that are specific to skills. A skill can be a dot, a direct damage ability or have 2 parts (one direct, one dot). Status effects like poisoned status (which is different from poison damage) and burning status are dots.

So a poison dot ability will be affected by thaumaturge and mighty. If the ability is a direct damage ability it's going to be mighty and master-ar-arms.
