This is a two part post, the first is talking about what the new poisons are, and what they are good for. Since i know rogues are kind of rare, I"ll start with the all/all poisons.
Spider's Bite I - XV = Direct damage poison. Can be made with vendor combines up to VI, which at level 85 procs for 1622 damage.
Scorpions Agony I - XV = Direct Damage + Aggro. Can be made with vendor combines up to VI, which at level 85 procs for 1110 damage and a currently unknown amount of hate.
These poisons at VI, cost around 80pp to make, and I with a 345 skill, poison mastery 1, and the 7/7 trophy have a 98% success rate in making them.
The new rogue only poisons are brutal, and will cause you to die. Like a ranger... over and over.
Bite of The Shissar I - XV = Vendor buy able poison. Normal proc rate and 6k damage per proc.
Strike of the Shissar I - XV = Rapid fire poison resist proc. This procs roughly twice as often as the bite of the shissar series, but for half the damage.
Strike of Ssreshza I - XV = One proc for massive damage. XV is 12.6k.
Solusek's Burn/E'ci's Lament are identical to the Bite of the Shissar, except for the resist check which is change to fire or ice respectively.
The other major thing to come out of this is a vendor path to 300 poison making. Start as high up as you can, the rogue only combines are cheapest. These are not intended to be a skill up path, so this might not last long. These also have a minimum skill level to attempt. When I started i had to begin at making the strike of the shissar X. Below is the path using Strike of the Shissar.
I trival at 63
II trvial at 88
III trivals at 120
IV trivals at 128
V trivals at 151
VI trivals at 168
VII trivals at 192
VIII trivals at 212
IX trivals at 252
X trivals at 292
XI trivals at 332
Thanks for reading all this. I hope it helps you understand the new poison system and what it can do for you. The next post will contain the info on the rogue utility poisons.
