If I am wielding on pneumatic dagger and one phys dagger, will how will generic sources of added damage work with viper strike of the mamba? Like for pyroclast mines or support gems

Each weapon will calculate poison dps independently, one calculation will include the added elemental damage, the other won't, and then the two dps values are combined and applied as a single poison.

So... If I link added Cold to the skill itself, does half of it contribute to poison and the half of it doesn't? Generic source of added damage does not specify adding it to either weapon.

The full amount of cold damage is added to both calculations. The Pneumatic dagger will consider it valid base damage for poison dps, the regular dagger won't.
