The first set of changes to poison have been made. Strike of Ssraeshza poisons have a 10 second recast on them. Bite of the Shissar, Strike of the Shissar, Solusek's Burn and E`ci's Lament Poison remove about half the hate they give on each strike. Quellious' Trauma removes about half the hate it did before. Quellious' Trauma, Myrmidon's Sloth, Messenger's Bane, Fighter's Bane, Warlord's Bane, Archer's Bane and Monk's Bane have had their "proc count" increased so they last longer.

QA reports to me that Quellious' Trauma is about 66% as effective instead of the 50% effective. I plan on leaving it with that extra 16% of effectiveness unless I find it is a problem. I am hoping that with the reduced hate on the actual DPS poisons that it will not be needed as much.

I love the new poisons, and I am making and using a lot of them. Any Idea when the patch to implement these changes will be?

Assuming no code disasters May 13'th. These days are often shifted by a day either way.

whats up with the poison stuff droping everywhere BUT the raid instances? Just kidding but would take it over the other tradeskill crap.

Messenger's Bane seems to SoW the mob instead of snare, I hope that gets fixed.

Laters,

oh yeah. ngreth the messengers bane fix should be on this one yes? I knwo its been mentioned btu i dotn see it on the test patch notes.

Will drop rates be adjusted in this patch? After a month with 3 friends giving me everything they find. I have about 10 or 15 non buyable components for level 60+ utilities

Ngreth has responded that the snare has been fixed and would be going in with the next full patch. I'd guess that's the one coming up on the 13th ish.

yep. which is why i asked if it just wasnt on the patch notes. anyone from test tried it out??

should be.

Unfortunately no. It is still in the plans, but could not make the patch.
