Overview
Envenom is a Rogue Assassination ability learned at level 62. Used as a finishing move it consumes your [Deadly Poison] doses on the target and deals instant poison damage. One dose is consumed for each combo point.
Functionality
Use
- 35 Energy cost.
- Instant cast.
- 5 Yard range.
- Requires melee weapon.
Limitations
- Must be facing your target.
- Must not be disarmed.
- Must have applied at least one dose of [Deadly Poison] on the target.
- Must have at least one combo point on the target.
Rank Table
Rank | Damage | Level | Cost |
---|---|---|---|
1 | 168 - 838 damage | 62 | 5 31 |
2 | 204 - 1018 damage | 69 | 10 80 |
Envenom - Rank 1
- 1 dose/1 combo point: 168 damage
- 2 doses/2 combo points: 335 damage
- 3 doses/3 combo points: 503 damage
- 4 doses/4 combo points: 670 damage
- 5 doses/5 combo points: 838 damage
Envenom - Rank 2
- 1 dose/1 combo point: 204 damage
- 2 doses/2 combo points: 407 damage
- 3 doses/3 combo points: 611 damage
- 4 doses/4 combo points: 814 damage
- 5 doses/5 combo points: 1018 damage
Damage Calculation Formula
Rank1 = 144 Rank2 = 180 Damage = ( RankX + AP * 0.03 ) * Doses
So a Rogue with 1800 AP, using Rank 1 of Envenom on a target with 3 doses of deadly poison:
(144 + 1800 * 0.03) * 3 = 432 + 162 = 594 Damage
Tips
Envenom works much differently than other talents the Rogue might be used to, and therefore must be used with certain considerations in order to benefit fully from its capabilities.
- For a rogue properly specialized into poisoning skills, Envenom can effectively replace [Eviscerate] as a finishing move in certain cases. While Eviscerate does physical melee damage - mitigated by the target's armor, Envenom ignores armor completely, much like a spell, and instead causes Nature Damage to the target.
- Unlike most other rogue abilities, Envenom is classified as a Nature Spell. Therefore, it will have diminished, or even no effect against mobs with high nature resistance or immunity. Under those conditions, the Rogue should use Eviscerate instead.
- If you have more charges than combo points and use Envenom, only as many charges will be removed (and do damage) as the number of combo points you used up.
- If you have more combo points than charges on the target, all combo points will be used up regardless, but you will only do damage according to the number of charges.
- It is possible for Envenom to critically hit its target, causing 2x damage. Unlike other poison effects, which can not crit a target.
Stack Deadly Poison
- In order to quickly gain a full stack of 5 [Deadly Poison] effects on your target, the Rogue should make sure to apply Deadly Poison to both weapons, as well as utilize abilities and talents such as [Shiv], [Slice and Dice], and [Improved Poisons].
- [Shiv] is an effective means of building both combo points as well as applying charges of Deadly Poison to the target.
Build Combo Points
- The rogue must also build combo points fast to use Envenom effectivly. Talents and abilities like [Setup], [Initiative], [Ruthlessness], [Cheap Shot], and [Mutilate]. Are effective Combo Point builders.
