Shiv is a rogue class talent. It is a fairly weak attack with an off-hand weapon that applies a more powerful version of currently used non-lethal poison. Shiv is automatically learned for Assassination.

Trivia[]

As of Shadowlands, Shiv is learned before any non-lethal poisons, specifically one level before Ability poisonsting [Crippling Poison] is learned.
