Poisoning works great on pvm characters. Monsters die a LOT quicker when poisoned. Keep in mind however not all monsters can be poisoned and many can cure.
In my experience poisoning works wonders on caster mobs. If poisoned, they will repeatedly cast cure on themselves and throw far less nukes on you.
Thanks guys! WOrking on the Character now. Started him with 50 poisoning and 50 magery. plan for GM Poisoning GM Fencing GM Tactics GM Anatomy GM Healing GM Magery GM Resist Resist will just be brought up to whatever it takes to GM Magery and then let it gain form there. Expensive to GM Resist!

Thanks Mike. I have tons of poison kegs from GMing alchemy. WHen I made my alchemist I had this plan. I haven't started building him yet but he is created to take advantage of the freesist Blaise put on.
Kyrss and war forks are okay but a Katana hits pretty good here. Maybe you could try your favorite weapons swords vs fencing on Test prior to making your character. Two handed weapons cannot be poisoned. I've used some mid level Runic Katanas vs Vanq axes and they perform surprisingly well. Resist - just wait till another resist event is held to finish it off.
Artex, I have no reason for choosing fencing other than I have never had a gm fencer. I know why too. Just don't like the weapons that much. Same for maces. I will probably end up using swords especially after reading your input. Thanks!
Fencer two handed weapons have para blow which is huge but not really practical to use if your going to designate 100 points to poisoning. In pvp cure pots kind of negate DP unless your fighting someone with two handed weapons which makes them unequip their weapon to drink a pot. On occasion not often it takes more than one cure to cure DP. If i'm on a dexer toon I set a macro to equip a one handed weap drink my pots then requip the two handed unless I'm on the run. If your going to PVP on a dexer make sure you go and farm G heal wands. Survive the mages first dump and keep him using his resources to heal and cure and you just might have some success. If you have trouble keeping up with people (lag monster) it'll be a real challenge using a dexer template.
