Deadly Poison is a poison that is bought by rogues who then apply it to their weapons. Every time the rogue hits with the weapon, there is a 30% (up to 40% with the Ability poisons [Improved Poisons] talent) chance of the victim being poisoned for 12 seconds. The poison will deal damage over time. It can stack up to 5 times on the same victim.

Notes

Because deadly poison deals damage over time, it prevents rogues afflicted with it from stealthing, and prevents all players from bandaging for more than a second. However, its continuing damage causes many forms of crowd control to break. Deadly poison stacks up to 5 times, making it harder to remove with some spells.

Tips and tactics

  • Used in the Rogue's finishing move Ability rogue disembowel [Envenom].
  • Worthy to note is that deadly poison on the target causes damage that breaks Rogue's gouge and blind, important tools for control.
  • The poison of choice for raid damage, it deals more damage than instant poison, though it is wasted when over-applied.
