Rogue poisons suck. They sucked on live, too, until they were revamped at the end of Luclin and changed to a proc based spell (like what they have in World of Warcraft or Rift).
The problems with poisons in classic EQ is that A) they had a chance to fail when you applied them (Apply Poison is a separate skill from Make Poison) B) you had to sit to apply them C) each poison was a ONE-TIME use, and if you wanted another one, see A and B, so D) you would apply them outside of combat, and would have a huge amount of aggro on your first hit. Ouch.
And none of that even considers how difficult it is to obtain them in the first place.
Honestly, outside of PVP, the only use for poisons on this server is the Mind Melt poison that is part of the Tainted Avalanche Ale for the Coldain ring quests.
It's kind of a badge of glory, but we don't even have trade skill trophies here. I had one on live, but it looks like it's changed since then.

rogue poisons are really good, it costs about 2k to max them and maybe a couple hours hanging out in steamfont mountain. equip as much dexterity gear as you can and ask a high level shaman for buffs if you need help getting it to the cap. dex makes training poisons a lot cheaper + less carpal tunnel. any good rogue does it. what an embarassment this guy is.
