Instant Poison and Ability poisonsting [Crippling Poison] are the first poisons a rogue may learn to make after finishing the required quest at level 20. Additional ranks may be learned from the rogue trainer at appropriate levels.

Notes

  • Safe to use in any situation, as it has no CC-breaking DoTs.
  • Nature damage is not reduced by armor, so it is more effective against heavily armored opponents.
  • Flat 20% proc rate means that fast weapons deal more poison damage.
  • Shiv can be used to automatically apply the poison, effectively increasing flat damage of the attack.
  • Without points in Improved Poisons, Wound Poison, because of it's higher proc rate, does more damage.
