Poison

[Sirginsel]

<DIV>Can rangers use poisons. I am thing of taking the alchemist skill but want to know if you all can use them.</DIV>

[KetMali]

<DIV>Try looking down a few posts first before you post, not to be rude....</DIV>

[Tarryn]

<DIV>To be even less rude:  Yes, rangers use poisons to great effect.  (I hear they're ineffective in the endgame, but I hope that will be rectified by the time I have to mess with that.)</DIV>

<DIV>Not only can you, it's something of a "must have". </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Player made poisons are being looked at right now by the tradeskill guru, so I think you're going to see some positive changes very soon there. Check the dev tracker for more details. </DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>Good to hear that there may be some positive changes to crafted poisons. I just hope they don't find / correct the little bug that I enjoy. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=2>Thread here: <A href="http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=a13&message.id=4939#M4939" target=_blank>http://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=a13&message.id=4939#M4939</A></FONT></DIV><p>Message Edited by Jay42 on <span class=date_text>04-01-2005</span> <span class=time_text>02:34 PM</span>

I wouldn't go anywhere (except maybe Forest Ruins) with my poisons. I've had mobs die as I was running for my life, because a poison proc'ed for me.

Sorry, I've been inhaling too many poison fumes. I meant to say I wouldn't go anywhere WITHOUT my poisons!

<P>LoL Doncun they do have a mind numbing effect don't they.</P> <P> </P> <P>Any Ranger not using at least 1 Poison in the 10 to 45 maybe a little higher is hurting their DPS and cutting their own throats</P> <DIV>Yes you will see major DPS increases.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>I have noticed a Drop at like lvl 27 to 30 in poison effectiveness as it was jsut between tier changes but increased nicly at 30.  I am 36 now I am wondering if I will see that same kinda of poison drop off?  The 27 to 30 was prior to player made poisons being so abundant and vendor baught all being grey.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV>

So we can use 2 poisons at once? Do they have to be different poisons?

[Absinth]

<DIV>Only one poison will work at a time.</DIV>

[Danla]

<DIV> <DIV>is it me or did they raise the skill req. on all poisons?  after LU#6 i am no longer able to use 2 poisons i once could.  just wondering if anyone else noticed this.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV></DIV>

[BetaBai]

<DIV>Can't use my poisons either.  It also looks like the nerfed the damage they do but AI am not too sure on that.</DIV>

To answer two posts 1) yes the poisons changed.  Last night in TS I tried to use my  poisons only to find them red. They are player made and were yellow to me before. checked the stats and they now are skill set from 150 - 200. Im lvl 26 so i think my skill is in the 130+ range. 2) Now im in TS without poisons! Never felt so alone, considering it to be one of my best Solo friends. Ended up buying NPC poison from the TS docks to get by. (no flames here please, I only bought one!) <div></div>

You can buy the other 100 level posions from the alchemy shop in South Quenos on the SECOND FLOOR.  From 26 to 30, you will get a few resists but it is better than nothing.  I can't remember the name of the posion that I used, but it was the purple stuff that gave a good DOT. <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Kwentavius</DIV> <DIV> </DIV>
