Default Re: hemotoxin vs caustic, advice plz

I dont see where Getaway is helping with soloing, it's raid friendly yes but soloing it means nothing. Frontload is 1000x better and basically my #1 buff for soloing especially now with all the proc gear available (Smash, Counterattack, and all the ward/heal proc stuff, etc etc). As for stealth attacks, use Concealment followed by Stun and then unleash your stealth attacks (Execute, Mortal Blade, Jugular last) then Velium before going out for range. If you use Fettering Poison, you can stay at max range shooting arrows all day while the mob literally craws to you.

Personally think getaway is a huge waste of time/points.

Wait, when you use frontload, you proc damage with each of your poisons? Even if the poison is just a debuff poison or ignorant bliss? Geez, I need to read those descriptions more often. How long ago was that change made?

From GU #37

"Frontload: Increased duration from 15s to 24s. Additional poison damage is dealt by any poison that is triggered." Link

yeah frontload will do nice damage from blue and purple poisons... and its tier dependent ...the higher level of the poison the more damage frontload adds...

T7 Mc gets 199
T8 RC gets 233
T8 MC gets 243 ..im not sure on this number...now remember this number is affected by our 52% crit modifier AND poison debuff so most of time when you frontload you will see these go off for much more

Frontload + propagation is a thing of beauty
