Vile Poisons Vile Poisons

Rogue · Assassination · Row 4 of 7 · 5 ranks

Vile Poisons sits in row 4 of the Rogue Assassination tree. A talent tree is simply the grid of talents for one class role. It can take up to 5 points. Max it fully, or put in a few points just to open the rows below.

What Vile Poisons does at each rank

A rank is one level of a talent. Every rank makes the effect a bit stronger. The list below uses the exact wording from the beta client, word for word.

  1. Rank 1: Increases the damage dealt by your poisons by 4% and gives your poisons an additional 8% chance to resist dispel effects.
  2. Rank 2: Increases the damage dealt by your poisons by 8% and gives your poisons an additional 16% chance to resist dispel effects.
  3. Rank 3: Increases the damage dealt by your poisons by 12% and gives your poisons an additional 24% chance to resist dispel effects.
  4. Rank 4: Increases the damage dealt by your poisons by 16% and gives your poisons an additional 32% chance to resist dispel effects.
  5. Rank 5: Increases the damage dealt by your poisons by 20% and gives your poisons an additional 40% chance to resist dispel effects.

How to reach Vile Poisons

Row 4 opens after you spend 15 points in the earlier Assassination rows. Level 25 is the earliest you can pick up Vile Poisons.

Is Vile Poisons worth the points?

Every rank makes the effect stronger, so putting in a few points while leveling is totally fine. Max it when the final rank is the heart of your endgame build. And if you only need it as a stepping stone, no shame in stopping early.
