The full poison impairment (Melee: D_K and Ranged: D_R) can be calculated by the sum of all numbers (n) up to the max striking (M), times the amount of hits per number (H=v).

${\begin{aligned}D_{M}(M)&=H\cdot \sum _{n=one}^{Grand}due north=H\cdot {\frac {one}{two}}Thou(M+1)=ii.v\cdot M(K+1)\\D_{R}(M)&=H\cdot \sum _{n=1}^{M-1}due north+K=H\cdot {\frac {1}{2}}Chiliad(M-1)+M=2.five\cdot M(M-1)+1000\stop{aligned}}$
