Wound Poison is a rogue ability that applies a poison to their weapons.

Every time the rogue hits with the weapon, there is a 30% chance to damage the victim and poison them for 12 seconds. The poison reduces all healing effects on the victim by 8%, stacking up to 3 times, or up to 5 times for Assassination rogues.

Notes[]

  • As a Lethal poison, Wound Poison cannot be used at the same time with [Deadly Poison] or [Instant Poison].
  • In PvP combat, the healing reduction effect is halved to 4% per stack.
