Toxic sludge immunity

I got the perk. Had a wand that produced that purple poison. Toxic sludge immunity didn't do anything. Feels like it should have.

Purple is slime, not toxin. Green is toxic sludge.

[Space Dust]

Pink is slime. I'm talking about the purple poison.

Toxic sludge is the stuff that comes out of green barrels and the blood of the floaty green fellas

How come nobody knows of the purple poison?... I get you OP, but the perk does say ''toxic sludge'' and that is the first ''poison'' you encounter. The purple poison you are talking about is normally found further in, and yeah it is annoying that it doesn't make you immune to that. But the perk name kinda tells you what immunity you get.

Unfortunately it' immunity to toxic sludge only, not poison in general. Personally I'd prefer full poison immunity, but hey that's just me.

I don't even think the toxic sludge immunity stops you from taking damage from frozen toxic sludge.

By the way, does anyone have any insight into the value of poison that I'm missing? Does it do good DoT to enemies? Are there really any reliable ways to not kill yourself with it?

[Eriktion]

The purple poison does crazy damage. You put it after a trigger spell so it gets released far away from you.

Yep, toxic sludge immunity only provides immunity to getting stained by, specifically, "toxic sludge". It provides no protection against poison, slime, acid, toxic ice, or toxic rock.

To be fair though, acid immunity would be freakin' overpowered.

Kind of like how fire immunity doesn't give lava resistance and melee immunity doesn't protect you from Turso.

Yeah Poison is the rare super poison. it's deep purple. Toxicity and poisonous are not related to one another in real-life as well, and while I agree that the argument that both of these should do the same damage type is reasonnable, they do have mechanical differences. But hey, now you know. Try it on enemies to melt them, but be careful! It smells!

I disagree about poison, but I do think the perk is underpowered and should DEFINITELY cover toxic rock and toxic gas. Otherwise it's a waste of a perk slot

Yeah I agree, additonally toxic sludge still washes water off but it won't leave it's stain anymore, so it even has a drawback already.

I get making the distinction between fire and lava since lava is so much hotter, but imo toxic whatever should be treated equally.

Toxic sludge immunity was a little more useful back before toxic sludge was nerfed. IIt could use a rework to make it worth taking, but I think the devs intend for "less useful" or even useless perks to exist.

If you got toxic sludge immunity, being cover of sludge didn't
seem to count as stained... so if you got invisibility perk, you can remove all the stain
using toxic sludge. (you can also remove stain and then use invisibility potion too)
That probably work with stainless armor too but I didn't try yet.

Toxic sludge is radioactive waste. Poison is poison. They're different things.
