That's what I use.  They're cheap and usually available.  I will switch to snare and lifetap for soloing, and power tap for raiding sometimes.

Adeste's is still the best in my opinion cause it got nice big damage and a decent DoT. Most of the t7 that i have seen just has a big up front damage and no dot. But i havent looked to hard into t7

*cough* I havent heard a single response saying they use T6 Strike of Glox (piercing/crushing debuff) or that other T6 poison/disease debuffer! (cant remember name atm :smileyindifferent:   But then again the title of this post is "What T7 poison do you use ?" hehe.  Problem with T6 legendary poisons is that nobody makes it anymore :smileysad: at least not on my server.

I talked to a high level alchy and he told me to go  harvest T6 roots to get foxglove (or something) to make it for me.  That was about 3 weeks ago and I still havent been bored enough to head to DoF to harvest roots :smileytongue:

But IMO glox is still the best debuff poison for ranger damage output.  T6 debuffers are still better than any T7 that I have seen.  My guild alchy keeps giving me a ton of that crap T7 Wis debuffer for when I give him dust from making Adept 3's and I usually just sell it to vendor to buy arrows.

The wis debuffer helps on raids (reduces resists).  And it will stack in that 3rd poison slot, unlike most of the other 'util' poisons.  I haven't tried combining t6 and t7 poisons though.

Grandmaster's Caustic poison and Grandmaster's Stupifying poison are what i use when solo'in etc.  In a group i switch out the stun poison for Ignorant Bliss line, so i can go max DPS

Solo/Group: Caustic (t7)/Adeste (t6) + Phantasmic visions (t6)Raid trashs mobs: Caustic(t7) or Adeste (t6) + t6 magical resists debuff (curse of the djinn, numbling blizzard...) + essence of turgur (haste debuff) Raid named: Hemotoxine (t7) + t6 magical resists debuff (curse of the djinn, numbling blizzard...) + essence of turgur (haste debuff) + t7 stats debuffAnd yes you can stack 4 poisons. Looks like 1 hp dot/dd or life/mana drain + 1 mitigation (noxious, arcane, elemental, melee) debuff + 1 haste/speed debuff + 1 stat debuff.

What the hell, how the hell do you guys manage to keep your power? Even when I am grouped with a troub I am out of power in about 2-3 minutes, with 4000 power unbuffed. Even with mental breach poisons I still manage to drain my power fairly quickly.Also - I cant use turgur in any raid situation, and ive been grouped with a guard + troub and still managed to take agro with that poison on at raids.

I'm really confused by your findings, because they don't relate to anything I see.I am usually the last on the raid to run OOP.  I never use mental breach, ever.  I would be stupid to, considering caustic is 10% of my DPS.  In Lyceum last night, I routinely hit 1000-1100 DPS on the named fights.  I had no power regen in my group... the Gnillaw fight lasted 6 minutes and the Gnorbl fight lasted 4.  My average DPS for the zone after combining all encounters was 850 DPS, and that was with severe lag for several encounters (my internet is screwy).I never took agro and I never went near running OOP.  The only FT items I was wearing were my Dark Fury Sabre of Anuk and Mark of Awakening (a total of 19 power per tick).  All of my skills were used on almost every fight, except for some of the melee ones.The only possible way I can run OOP is if I die, or the fight gets close to the 10 minute mark.  And I have yet to apply mental breach to my weapons, ever.

Bite of the Shissar, as I used to always have Adeste and Shissar in stock by the barrel.

Now I use a variety as we have a couple of alchemists in guild working through 60s.  I hope to find a decent combination to maintain power and DPS.

Another thing that is very important if on a raid, talk to the other scouts in the raid and find out what debuffs they are using.  I am not 100% positive on the mechanics of how raid/group debuffs work but I have heard 2 different options:
 
1) That similar debuff poisons do not stack from members in the same group within the raid
 
and
 
2) That similar debuff poisons do not stack from members within entire raid
 
Does anyone know the answer to this?  Its just pointless to have debuff poisons running that are overwriting one another.

I find myself burning my power alot quicker than you tobias, I always use mentol breach poisons.. I typiccally hit 1100-1400 dps though, and the mobs die really really quick. I burn power faster than any fighter ever could. And that dps is without using caustic tobias. I use all my melee abilities, and all my ranged on fights.

It's always been my understanding that identical poison effects will not stack on the same target, regardless of where those effects are coming from. I could be mistaken, though. Either way, it pays to coordinate with other rogues and predators.

id really have to see some parses of 3-5 minute fights on yellow mobs where you reach 1100-1400 DPS without using any damage poisonsi mean unless you have 2-3 brigands cycling dispatch or something?feel free to prove me wrong tho i'd love to know how that is possible so i can stop sucking

Mental Breach all the way... unless i'm soloing... I'll pile on others for raids (debuff, etc), depending on what is needed.

I think the issue might be a combination of LoreLady having low AGI and how fast the MT pulls.  Concentrate on STR and forget AGI and your power pool is extremely low.  MT pulling speed makes a big deal.  When we do Labs, our MT pulls very quickly after we finish off one mob and I find myself going OOP often.  Most of the time we only stop to med up before named mobs.  While our melee attacks are not a power sink, trying to chain all your spells together is.  When I am going all out on Stag, which is most of the time, I am using my manastone, nec hearts, conj shards and drinking the lvl 70 drinks.  I also have the Dark Fury Sabre of Anuk and MoA Instinct.  My self buffed STR and AGI are almost the same 377 and 397.

I have to agree with Tobias (it pains me it really does SMILEY )  I average over a raid about 800 DPS or so maybe lower.  Sure in a quick fight I can put the fear of God in a beast and hit 1300-1400.  I never run out of power, unless the rest of the raid/group is dead and then I run out of Health a the same time.
 
As far as poisons   Adestes, Glox/Djinn, tugurs/bliss  Depending on group set up and what I find first in my little bag of poisons!
 
Sometimes to save cash I will use Caustic in groups.
