The poison guide is great! That got me into poison and I never looked back. I do have to say it’s just a little out of date with power changes and new powers in the last few updates.
Combat tp and fold space are absolutely a must with it imo. Being able to tp the face of who ever you want, you don’t really have to worry about the bad range on VG anymore.
Okay so who cares what you use in the game. It’s there so use it! Let them flame. One thing that changed my life on my poison was the P2W mez protection. I was able to take ageless for my end issues. It honestly makes poison so much fun.
Carry purples you have pre-bought in /ah so you can easily pick them up in between missions and TFs!
Self heals:
Put your two chance for heals defender procs in your 2 most used single target attacks. Also! Put the chance for absorbs in poison Trap. I can’t stress enough how useful it is. Put chance for heal in stamina and the 2 heal procs in health. All those things add up. I also carry the temp self heal power as well.
Play how you want! I’ve put over 1000 hours on my poison. I’m just sharing what made it fun for me
For DP on a defender. I think every power is useful but dual wield cause you’re force to take the first power. No need to waste a power for it. I have a really good proc layout for it if you choose to go that route and live off of purples. DP only really shines when you proc it out on a defender. Dmg is pretty bad other wise.
PS: With VG on - Fold Space - Soul Drain (dark mastery) - Hail of bullets. You blaster now baby!
