Envenom

[Mittens]

I was just thinking that because Envenom is one of the assassin's only "private" skills that it should be a little more useful than it currently is. The poison is pretty weak, the delay between attempts is killer, and it doesn't last very long. That pretty much makes it useless in and of itself, and that's not even counting the fact that most mobs worth killing won't be affected by the poison because chances are it won't get them until they are almost dead.

I'm not sure what could be done, aside from revamping the entire skill and making it where you have to gather components and make your own poisons or something like that, so you could make your daggers cause a strength sapping poison or something useful like that. But yeah, that's my rant for the day.

I'm sorry, but what do you mean that it's a "private" skill of assassin? I have envenom and never went assassin.

And yeah, I think that it definitely needs a major overhaul. The last time I used it was 2nd class mort, when I found that it sucked. I would suggest significantly increasing the damage, and taking away (or greatly shortening) the blasted delay between attempts.

Thought it was assassin only, but even if it's not it still sucks ;)

The poison effect it adds to a weapon is also much lower than your current level. Just cast poison on a weapon if you want it, it's higher level, lasts longer, and there's no 20 second lag timer on it.

it's still weak with only 20 damage per tick.

hmm.. Perhaps I have it from back in the day before subclasses.

It sucks, completely. Something needs to be fixed, or changed, or maybe it needs to be completely re-vamped, just something.
