Hm that is strange. The stats in the ability page came from testing, i.e. my own and others. I know for sure a max rank Venom does 5 tick per second, as I tested that multiple times. I did not test it see how it affected various enemy types though, but it shouldn't be any different since the damage doesn't depend on the number of body parts they have; only the number of spores that show up seem to depend on that.

Yes MOAs take increased damage from Venom but it has nothing to do with the fact that its poison damage. Most skills like Venom and Miasma target the 'torso' of an enemy, and on a MOA that's its fanny pack; all damage sources do 3x damage to that body part.

The tip about shooting the spores is already on the ability page but thanks for mentioning it again.
