New Assasin - Poison Questions

Moori · 07-20-2008, 03:48 PM

Hey all,

I'm a fairly new assasin and was looking for a few peoples opinion.

1) What poisions do you normally run in a raid

2) Hemotoxin or Caustic poison during raid and why?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

Level 80 assasin

1) Caustic personally along with a debuff and misc poison
2) Caustic if you have any proc enhancers (Dirge, Templar, Mystic, Avatar wep or Avatar ear) else use Hemo.

The mystic buff that increases procs (Ancestry?) is single target right? The dirge buff is group. Is the templar buff groupwide, or do I need to ask for it specifically? The mystic buff also comes from an AA line they they probably all have, is the templar buff a spell or AA?

Do yall have trouble getting the mystic to use that buff on you?

Caustic / Gracelessness / Bliss is what i run with nightly.

Hemotoxin i rarely use for anything. Harmonization spec'd troubadours make it more appealing, however every 1.9 seconds you have an additional chance to proc potential reactive detrimental effects on yourself from nearly any raid boss encounter. Not something you are going to want to deal with. It has its uses but remain aware of your encounters and surroundings.

Didn't understand the second yes. Let me ask the question again.

Is the templar buff group wide?

Seems most ppl are using Caustic over hemo.... thanks for the info

Hoss · 07-21-2008, 12:14 AM

I use hemo most of the time because I don't usually get those 3 classes in my group. With just one of those proc modifiers and 5 pts in the hemo upgrade, it'll pretty much be a wash between caustic and hemo. With 2 or more of them, you want caustic all the way.

Nafawo · 07-21-2008, 02:42 AM

I never have any of them, so I have 5 points in hemo and always run hemo for the most part. Usually only run caustic if its a fight like master p (before the stoneskin proc nerf on him) where you don't really want dots on the mob, or when I am helping to burn down little adds that die before hemo has a chance to tick a couple times, without the time to tick hemo is a waste.
