Game Mechanics: Apply Poison

[dojo420]

even at max skill it fails quite a bit. i lack experience how it was on live though though i think the 100% succes rate was only acheived with AA later on.

further i read the following:

The higher skill you have applying the poison, the faster you will be done applying it. At the start you will need 7 seconds to put a poison on your dagger, later it is rumored to be significantly less, but I still cannot accomplish that.

can anyone who played a rogue on live confirm / deny? here it doesn't seem to make a difference to how long it takes to apply.
