which poisons should i use at lvl 62 for max dps

[ridd]

Which poisons should I be using for max dps at lvl 62. I haven't played my ranger in months and I recall that I can have 2 poisons at a time. I need a suggestion on good dps and good value because he's not rich thanks <div></div>

<P>Grandmaster caustic.  Or if not GM caustic, then caustic. </P> <P>For the other ones, it depends.  I prefer using the attack-speed slow blue poison but really it depends on what you are doing.  If you are soloing, the movement speed slow is very nice. </P> <P>You can actually have three poisons up at once.  The third is a purple background debuff.</P>

<P>DoT poisons have more overall damage, but caustic beats this when haste is added to the mix. If your hasted and have a fast bow, caustic. If you dont have haste and use a longbow, maybe a DoT poison might be slightly better... but <U>only</U> on long lasting encounters, as CA spamming = haste = caustic will proc more often.</P> <P>The only mobs I could imagine using DoT poisons on are a few T-7 epic named. Some have a bazillion HP and I might auto attack more (than using combat arts) in the long run. I use a slow bow too so with less chance to proc the DoT would get it's 100% usage.</P>

On the DOT poisons: Correct me if I'm wrong (like I need to ask) but with as often as we proc poisons, isn't it getting over written a lot? I mean if I use Caustic and it lands twice in a row, I get full damage. If I hit with a DOT twice in a row, the second hit will cancel the first basically negating a lot of damage.<div></div>

Warding Ebb ( i haven't tested this yet ) does that decrease ALL  not physical damage types ie. heat / cold / pois / mental etc etc .. ? or just Magical ( as such ) damage only.</font><div></div>

<P>GM Caustic.  If you don't have that use any Adeste you have left till you can get some GM Caustic.  Those are the 2 highest damage poisons, with exceptional Caustic coming in behind Adeste.</P> <P>Warding ebb debuffs ALL spell resists not just magic.</P>

<P>Correct.  The key word is "magical."  Magical = arcane, divine, mental, magic, heat, cold, poison, disease.  As oppose to "magic" which just means magic.</P> <P>Took me a while to figure this out.  I think I learned it from one of our fellow rangers here in the forums.:smileyhappy:</P>

So a DoT poison will only get its full use each time when you have a really slow bow, no real haste, and are burning down the top T-7 named epics and you cant CA spam due to power issues. </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But thats for people who have DPS sickness and must at all times squeeze every tick of damage out of their characters.</DIV>

<DIV>Another side note is that Caustic should only be used by those who have quite a bit of money... because the more it procs, the faster you go through... with the way that poisons are now, it can get rather expensive.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>And I feel like DoT poisons should not trigger a second time untill the first as run its course... That way in long fights, you can get several max effective durations out of it, ad save a lot of poison.</DIV>
