Poison?

[sounion]

Do people use poisons much? This is my first time playing a rogue, ever. Didn't play one in classic. From what I can tell, it's expensive, and may not be worth pursuing??

Any tips, hints, or corrections would be awesome.

cheers

I've never played a rog but I don't remember them being useful for anything but PvP.

I can't remember clearly, I could be thinking of EQ2, but I thought I remembered rogues using some poisons to debuff, some to damage, and some to deagro.

Had a 60 rogue on blue but never applied poisons. The whole tradeskill is a horrible thing to approach.

If you're on red server though poisons like "muscle lock" are very nice to land on people :)

Landing poison on a raid mob is next to impossible and using them on easy blue cons expensive and pointless. As it was on Live , poison is really for PVP or very occasional use. It's epensive to level and theres no payout like other trade skills (not even the coldain ring 9 poison req nets you anything but a pat on the back :)
And reapplying requires you sit still for 10 seconds. with some tweaks to the code it would be worth the thousands of plat investment.

pretty much this

its mostly a pvp thing

im sure if you lvled it up early and used some of the damage poisons they would be pretty strong, but still unnecessary and pain in the ass to lvl up
