Deadly Poison is a poison that is bought by rogues for 1s who then apply it to their weapons. Every time the rogue hits with the weapon, there is a 30% chance of the victim being poisoned for 12 seconds. The poison will deal damage over time. It can stack up to 5 times on the same victim. Once stacked to 5 times, each application of Deadly Poison also causes the poison on the rogue's other weapon to apply.

Notes[]

Because deadly poison deals damage over time, it prevents rogues afflicted with it from stealthing and prevents all players from bandaging for more than a second. However, its continuing damage causes many forms of crowd control to break. Deadly poison stacks up to 5 times, making it harder to remove with some spells.

Source[]

Deadly Poison is purchased from poison vendors.
