Talk:Poison Tip Signet

Barbed Arrows + Poison Tip Signet + Burning Arrow. Woot? Simple 03:48, 27 July 2007 (CDT)


 * ... Why? --Gimmethegepgun 04:04, 27 July 2007 (CDT)
 * Are we listing these now? I thought they weren't officially released under the GNU. Arshay Duskbrow 04:06, 27 July 2007 (CDT)
 * I wish this had an instant cast time. The Hobo 23:59, 29 July 2007 (CDT)


 * I wonder how this would interact with BHA? Also, if used while BHA is in-flight due to long range and flatbow, would this cause poison? Completely useless to know, but who cares? --Gimmethegepgun 07:48, 2 August 2007 (CDT)

xD now no1 will use that preparation anymore, this is perfect for pvp
 * You're gravely mistaken. Apply will still be the best for spreading poison/pressure in PvP, and for poisoning in PvE, where things die fast and you're constantly switching targets. Having to reactivate this every six seconds with a one-second activation is very bad; I'm hoping the activation time will be reduced when balancing this skill.

 * By now, It's not better than Apply Poison. I wouldn't use this skill...ever.[[Image:Ereanorsign.png]]PvEreanor 19:44, 2 August 2007 (CDT)


 * It's pretty much better than Poison Arrow though, not that that's saying much --Gimmethegepgun 19:46, 2 August 2007 (CDT)

well since it frees up the space for another preperation, like simple said put in another degen skill and with burning arrow i think you would get -10 degen. which is pretty big. J1j2j3 16:02, 4 August 2007 (CDT)


 * Or people could just get over it and realize that BA is immensely overrated and use a worthwhile elite like BHA or Glass Arrows --Gimmethegepgun 16:03, 4 August 2007 (CDT)
 * You're gravely mistaken. :P I usually find myself running Prepared Shot, but there's no denying BA's power. 99 armor-ignoring damage every 5 seconds, for 4 energy? (14 Marks, 14 Exp) Why yes. I'll admit though, it is useless if other party members are already throwing around Burning. Arshay Duskbrow 22:58, 4 August 2007 (CDT)

Man, I think that unless they change something, this will be the very first LAME EotN skill! Woot? If this Signet were in Marksmanship or Expertise then it would be so much more useful. As it is, if you're running Wilderness Survivial you're likely already using Apply Poison or Poison Arrow (which still has its uses). I will admit that it may be more useful if you are running a "hit and run" build like my old R/any Solo Desert Trapper...but in PvP this would never see use, I don't think.

I'd vote LAME for it's synergy with Symbolic Strike.

One "viable" use would be with Barrage and Volley, as it would hit the primary target of the skill, I'd expect. Both remove preparations after all.Crimsonhandhiro 15:35, 5 August 2007 (CDT)


 * Meh, unless Poison Tip would do Poison to all the Barrage/Volley targets, it's still pretty useless. Barragers usually don't deal in degen anyways. [[Image:Entropy Sig.jpg]] (T/C) 15:39, 5 August 2007 (CDT)


 * Not yet they don't... I just suppose it's possible that some will try to squeeze every last bit of damage out of one shot as they can.  Especially likely in Tombs runs, considering there's nothing there to remove conditions.  Something for the Winnower B/P to consider. Crimsonhandhiro 16:06, 5 August 2007 (CDT)

Nah, Slippery Ground will get LAME long before this will --Gimmethegepgun 22:38, 5 August 2007 (CDT)

Hmm, I'd say that you could be looking at this +Barrage. Mass poison spreader. Barrage+Splinter Weapon+Poison Tip Signet? --BeeD 01:12, 6 August 2007 (CDT)


 * Would most likely work like the rest of the "next attack" skills and would only affect the first person it hits --Gimmethegepgun 01:18, 6 August 2007 (CDT)

on a para or derv
could be a cheap good way for para or dervs to inflict poison? or am missing something?

why would a paragon or dervish put points into wilderness survival for this?.
