Poison question

Do you need to have poisoning as a skill on the toon you are using to apply a lethal dose vs having the skill on a crafter toon ?

Getting mix answers so asking on here

If you want to poison a weapon, you need the poisoning skill.

If you want to use a poisoned weapon, you dont need the skill. It makes no difference with or without poisoning.

So having poisoning on the toon does NOT help. I'm better off throwing poison on crafter?

Unless you have to re-poison while on the field, for example for prolonged fights, then yes, you wouldn't need it on your fighting toon.

Thanks for info @BlackEye

Can however have the chance to cast a higher level of poison from 1 tile away.

For what it's worth, being able to poison on the fly has been extremely useful for me.

I guess if you're multiboxing (is that the right term?) it's not as practical since you can gate in to repoison or whatever. *shrug*

Ya I think I'll just throw it onto a crafter toon

You can't apply lethal poison on or from a weapon.

I put poisoning on a character before. Then dropped it. I didnt care for it much over just using a spear. I would much rather use multiple poisoned weapons and put that other skill to better use. Thats just my opinion thou.

Also i forgot to mention this. If you macro poisoning and have your poison and alchy toon be 2 dif char. You can just use one keg and a couple few bottles and have both char working at the same time. If you get the timing right you can keep the keg about 50 percent full.
