anyone know what the max poisoning on a rune beetle is? I have 1 with 125.0 but im pretty sure I've seen higher

I think 126 is the highest, not too sure on that. In the wild, that would be 140, so ya, just a wild guess. Sorry

a buddy of mine used an exploit years ago, he would train them before taming them then finish them once bonded. he has one that's 130+ poisoning and its still a 3 slot pet, its nasty. That acct is waiting to go ej in a month. I will try to get a few screenshots when it is accessible

The highest wild lore we have in our file is 139.4 so the 140 seems right to us.

But we do wonder, what is the gain of such high poisoning, when GM already means lethal poison?

That is a very good point Tabby. It’s not like it was years ago where the rune beetles could not regain any poisoning lost due to death.

Given that, would there be any benefit to going over 100 (discounting the potential of being discorded)?

No benefit in going over GM Poisoning really. GM Poison already inflicts Lethal with it's attack, and Magery+Poisoning=200+ is enough to inflict DP with the Poison spell within a few tiles. That DP will be overridden by the melee Lethal though. Higher Poisoning skill doesn't increase the frequency that they poison anymore either, they have to choose to use Infectious Strike now to poison with melee.
