<p>The assassin has always just been a fun side alt for me but now almost 80 with it I am noticing something that is driving me nuts. Poison hardly ever procs..I mean hardly ...ever. Doesn't matter if it's Caustic or hemo I can do a whole instance and only get 20 procs. I could swear i am bugged.</p><p>Today i grouped with  templar and got about 2x as many procs ina  zone but that is still crazy. I run ACT and look back at all the encounters, any long encounter I seem to do about 6 percent damage with posions. many shorter encounters I do maybe a few percetn as posion never procs at all or at the end of the fight... maybe.</p><p>I rana  zonewide on VoES, Maidens, and COA today and my posion damge percentage was 6%,6%,5%</p><p>Back atg the end of T7 I pulled the toon out to raid and again my percentage of damage was about 5-7 percent. It made me nits and I dropped the toon til recently</p><p>I have a ranger, (don't be a hatah! <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" />  ) that goes through poisons like water. here I am specced out with frontload and I am missing a huge chunk of dps. If there is no other poison dealer in a group poison combination ability is never doable.</p><p>I do, of course, have INT line at max crit as well as the aformentioned Frontload AA tree ( I didn't put any points in the hemo. I did at first but no dps difference. I have been using expert's caustic lately)</p><p>Can a  toon be bugged? I cannot believe that I can only get 6 percent max out of my poison damage. Is there any way to verify what percent a simple autoattacking assassin will do in poison damage for comparison? I thiught about the training dummy in the guildhall. suggestions? Bleh this is driving me mad!</p>

<p>Thats right.. for hemotoxin 6-8% is normal rate in common groups, in raid it can go up to 10+%.</p>

<p>troub, warlock, illu, conj, fury.  i have 5 AA's in hemo, they are ticking for roughly 800 average and always do more dmg zonewide as caustics</p>

<p>My apologies then, with a group with no proc affecting classes, go with hemo.</p>
