Instant poison (rogue)

WoW Classic Cataclysm Classic Discussion

So a few questions on how instant poison work exactly:

  1. Can it proc as many times as it can, or is there some sort of cap/limit to procs/minut?
    And if there is a cap how will that work with Improved poisons making it 30% chance to proc instead of 20%?

  2. Does it proc of only white melee hits or all types of attacks? And do the different attacks have different proc-coeficient?

  3. If you could only use one of them what would be best if u want to improve your instant poison output: Vile Poisons or Improved Poisons? (I would guess Improved poisons since having it proc 50% more often should be better than 20% more damage when it does. But this is only assuming there is no proc-cap)

Thanks.

  1. There is no cap and faster weapons increase the proc rates. Higher chance means more procs per minute.
  2. Your abilities always use your mainhand, and in vanilla even sap and gouge could proc your MH poison, same as crusader enchant. Not sure if this is changed in TBC but i presume it’s not: poisons on MH proc much more frequently despite being a slower weapon (typically).
  3. Vile poisons is better overall.

Explain why please.
And keep in mind that im only asking about the effect on Instant Poison output, so the fact that Vile Poison also improves Envenom has no value in this comparison.

Personally I would have guessed that going from 20% to 30% proc-chance (meaning it will proc 50% more often) is worth more than 20% more damage.

You should utilize deadly poison and envenom. /thread
