Skill Usage
A damage over time skill that inflicts poison damage on an enemy for up to 12 seconds. In addition, it applies a minor debuff effect, decreasing the speed at which they can move and their physical attack power by 5%. Despite it's requirement to engage the enemy at close range, it can deal a heavy amount of damage at higher levels. A powerhouse spell against single targets for poison priest builds, with moderate mana consumption.
Poison can be combined together with Poison Dust to double the amount dealt over time to a target. It can be utilized as part of a hit-and-run strategy to minimize the damage taken.
Notes
- Slash, a Warrior skill is remarkably similar to Poison due to it's high damage over time properties.
- At level 25, Charm of Nurturing Rain allows Petal Rain to have a 50% of refreshing the duration of Poison on the enemy.
- It is possible to solo bosses by using a hit and run strategy, combining skills like Curse of Slowness, Poison, Leeching Poison, Holy Fire, Nourish and Revitalize. A pet with Curse of Slowness and/or Spike Trap supplements this strategy.
- Many/certain bosses are not immune to slow, making them easy targets to be slowed down by Curse of Slowness, and virtually still if combined with Spike Trap. As long as you manage to keep refreshing Poison and Holy Fire + Nourish, you can deal a steady stream of damage over time.
