Issue with poisons

[Tlaloc]

<div>Hi all,</div><div> </div><div>I'm a level 44 Assassin and I have recently started to use artisan made poisons and my issue is that they only seem to last 5 -10 mins....  The cruddy merchant bought poisons lasted for 12 hours.   Can anyone explain this?  I tested it this morning in Lavastorm I was using boiling blood and by the 5th mob the poison was gone....  I thought it was suppose to last 12 hours or 200 procs.. I seriously doubt I am procing 200 times in 5 min.  At this rate I will go broke in poisons....</div><div> </div><div>Lathu</div><div>44 Assassin (Faydark)</div>

<div>Which poison are you having a problem with?   Some of them only last a few procs, and others last 200 procs.  It depends on the particular poison in question.    A good example is Torment of Rijacki, which I seem to only get 10-15 procs out of before it expires .... yet the description does not show anything different than Adeste's on my system which lasts 200 procs or 12 hours.</div><div> </div>

<div></div>Also when you examine the poison that is crafted, look to se what the percantage is on the proc.  Some have a higher percantage to go off, and you will burn through them very quickly.

Ugh, looks like you got unlucky with your first choice.Boilng blood does extreme damage but this is paid for in the low number of times you can proc it (iirc it's something like 20)A  good list of the T5 poisons is herehttp://eqiiforums.station.sony.com/eq2/board/message?board.id=40&message.id=6710Just remember to read the label before you buy <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />There's some nice ones out there that will stay on your blades for a lil longer than 20 mins<div></div>

<div>Thanks for all the resposes guys I was using bubbling blood which someone stated had very few procs....  Well there went 7gp <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />  I will have to research the poisons I use more... as I solo quite a bit I will need to use the poisons that last the longest but deal the best overall dmg.</div><div> </div><div>Lathu</div>

<div></div><div></div><p>Don't forget, when it comes to poison -- you can use THREE different poisons types at once.   Debuff, Damage, and Impairment (eg: slow).   When fighting named heroics, it can make a huge difference in your effectiveness while soloing or grouped.</p><p> </p><p>Message Edited by hammong on <span class="date_text">01-25-2006</span><span class="time_text">10:26 AM</span></p>
