venom does, it adds alot of poison dmg, it just isnt onscreen damage. in other words, you can not see your poison dmg on your kicks in your character screen/attribute screen.
this only goes for kicks. if u changed to normal attack with your weapon, you can see the added dmg on screen from venom.
OH btw, i just found out that you can not have both precast skills Burst of Speed(BoS) and Fade casted at a time. Due to this, it is not worth putting points into BoS with the skill points u have left after maxing the needed. You would be better off putting them into one of the minions. (shadow warrior or shadow master)
MORE INFORMATION ON FADE:
i have found out that the reduction of curse duration by fade, ALSO reduces duration of shrines (XP Shrine, Skill Shrine ECT). To avoid waisting your shrines, cast Burst of Speed before clicking on the shrine. Do not recast fade until after the shrine bonus expires.
NEW INFORMATION ON VENOM:
So this would mean that a single 100 Poison Damage Small Charm would do much less dmg. To calculate the actual poison damage you will gain, do this:
100pdsc's are 100poison damage over 5 seconds.
to find out how much damager per second, you would do this.
100/5= 20 poison damage per second (20 pd/s)
Now since our poison only goes for 0.4 seconds, you must multiply the pd/s by 0.4.
20*0.4=8 poison dmg.
you might find this to be somewhat discouraging information, as 8 poison damage is not much. This is still pretty good bonus to your poison damage. You will apply poison for each kick that lands. So hypothetically speaking, if you attacked a person 5 times with dragon talon, you can potentially hit 20 times. even if u miss 1 kick for every set of 4, you still hit 16 times. now you base boot damage will be 83-149. your actual kick dmg will be much higher because every point in STR you have, adds dmg. and every point u have in dragon talon adds damage as well. say we are lookin at a average of 1000dmg a kick(which is a rather low estimate). now you would be doing an average of 435 poison per kick. multiply these by 16. it would put you at 16000 melee dmg and 6960 poison damage pure RAW output
without considering your Crushing blow which multiplies damage by 2 when it procs. adding just one 100pdsc, your poison damage in this situation goes up to 7088. so at first glance, 8 extra poison doesnt seem like much, but it helps alot.
Here is a small table to tell you how much damage you will gain on top of your venom for each type of poison damage SMALL Charm.
Poison Damage Small Charms (SC Mod/actual gain with Venom):
100 over 5 seconds/ 8.00 Poison
175 over 6 seconds/ 11.60 Poison
251 over 10 seconds/ 10.04 Poison
313 over 11 seconds/ 11.38 Poison
377 over 11 seconds/ 13.71 Poison
451 over 12 seconds/ 15.03 Poison
these are all REAL, and LEGIT small charms you can get a hold of on ladder as well as nonladder.
This table was calculated and put together by me.

NEW INFORMATION ON VENOM:
Quote: Venom caps the poisoning duration at 0.4 seconds, thus preventing long term poisoning. Consequently, all other items will only inflict poison damage for 0.4 seconds. Example: Though 700 damage over 10 seconds might seem impressive only 28 damage will be inflicted due to the 0.4 seconds cap.from arreat summit.
