Acrid skill unlock questions

[BluntProfile]

one of Acrid's locked skill has a description that says "as acrid, inflict poison 1000 total times", but if I was using the blight passive instead of the poison one, will it still count towards the progression?

Not sure but there is never a reason to take blight over poison so it shouldn't matter

Blight doesn't count towards the unlock

Poison does 1% enemy HP per second, or 100% damage per second, whichever is greater.
Blight does 60% damage per second, but can stack and will kill.

Enemy HP scales a lot harder than your base damage does, which is why items are so important and why Blight eventually just does nothing.

Is poison numerically better? Basically always, yes. I still pick blight because both are weaksauce but at least with blight I can cough an epidemic into the ground and remove any wisps nearby for the first few stages, leaving me free to jump into golems and eat their face.

ALso prefer blight.
Lots of 1% hp enemy still do the same damage and same dangerous.
