Deadly Poison is a poison that is created by Rogues who then apply it to their weapons. Every time the rogue hits with the weapon, there is a 30% (40% with Rogue Talent Improved poisons) 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.

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

Notes

  • Used in the Rogue's finishing move Ability rogue disembowel [Envenom]. Use Shiv to stack Deadly poison and if done properly, you will have 5 combo points and 5 stacks of deadly poison at the same time.
  • Worthy to note is that deadly poison on the target causes damage that breaks Rogue's gouge and blind, important tools for control.
  • The poison of choice for raid damage, deals more damage than instant poison, though wasted when over-applied.
