There's a weird relationship between poison and armor. Sometimes you can cause HP damage without any poison, and apparently sometimes the opposite happens. My suspicion is that if the defense succeeds because of the shield parry, poison damage is not inflicted regardless of whether or not the attack blasts through the shield + armor Prot. Conversely, if defense does not succeed, poison damage IS inflicted regardless of whether or not it gets through armor Prot. I have not empirically tested this hypothesis though.
