Revision as of 00:41, 27 May 2024 by Lilith (talk | contribs)

Poison Imbuement is a Rogue skill from the Imbuements skill tree. Its features are:

Grants Player Exploits Condition
Poison Dmg Critical Strike Chance *

'Creates Condition' means this skill creates this condition i.e it could make a target Vulnerable that other skills can take advantage of. 'Exploits Condition' means this skill takes advantage of a condition, not necessarily of its own making. So for example another skill might Stun and this skill could take advantage of that.

* An improved Critical Strike Chance for X seconds can be applied by non-imbueable skills but the increased Poison damage (from Blended Poison Imbuement) can only be exploited via a Poison Imbued Skill.
