Skills - Apply Poison
Guild Wars Guru
Fengol
This should read "For 24 seconds". The 15-2-12 figures are correct.
Zubey
Does this skill work on melee attacks? Wand/cane/staff attacks? (My ranger hasn't gotten far enough to obtain it yet)
Tomo
No, it doesnt. When you apply poison, it just causes all arrows to have a coat of poison on them.
Fengol
It does work on Melee but only if there is a Physical attack component. Not wands, and probably not a sword/axe if it's got an elemental enchantment. You get it in the village/area north of Lions Arch.

Where could I get Apply Poison?
epicar
My Warrior/Ranger is using this spell with a fiery dragon sword just fine, so I'm pretty sure it doesn't require a physical component.
Makkert
I believe the name is Captain Greywind in Ascalon Settlement above Lions Arch

a sword is pretty much physical damage. but it does confirm that elemental damage is not a problem.
TaPorto
Is this considered an enchantment? If not what is?

just because its a fiery dragon sword doesnt mean it does elemental damage cuz it has "fiery" in the name.. unless u added in a hilt to it that adds elemental dmg.. then is the only way you could know

Actually, all dragon swords are fiery, and all fiery weapons deal elemental fire damage. Also, you cannot change fiery dragon swords to do anything but fire damage.
Reiden Argrock
This works on arrows as well as any melee weapons. Even with an element damage mod. It will not work on canes or staffs because their is nothing to apply poison to..
FireMountain
I have several Warrior/Ranger characters IMO this is the best mix in the game. You have a max damage sword with one of the stances and apply poison you'll see a lot of creatures die very quickly. Like to start with Berzerkers Stance, then Apply Poison, get them bleeding, you can just watch their health flow out on some its dramatic. With smaller creatures when they just have a little health left you can turn toward the the next one and let the poision finish them off. This is one sweet skill.
FireMountain
By the way it does work with sword or axe. Why do you think you they have lengthen poison duration hilts? Try them without applying poison first.
It would be nice if you could find a poison blade like a fiery blade. Guess that would do too much damage to flesh creatures.

This is excellent in pve. With my r/w..... Apply poison, cyclone axe, big poison killer.
Krank
No one really helped, where can this be found?
dargon
If memory serves you can get it in Ascalon Settlement
SCOTTYBONES
You are correct. The first place that you can get this skill is in ascalon settlement which is north of Lion's Arch.
Mark Twain
you can get it in norht krtyta province from a vendor. north of lions arch or something. im not sure
Labrie
Captain Greywind (Ascalon Settlement) has this to buy. Not sure which quest will give it to you though. This skill costs too much energy if you're a warrior, unless you have gladiator's armor though.
evox the evil
this is great for anone who wants to poison spam.as a r/w this helps a lot. cast this, then shoot the enemy a little with your bow. by now they're poisoned and w/e other conditions u put on em. then when u get close pull out your sword/axe/hammer and kill away. good for PvP and PvE.
Shwitz
I love apply poison with my ranger, but a thought just popped into my head... can you apply poison on a hammer? Rangers use bows that do piercing damage, so the poison is introduced into the body when the arrow pierces the flesh... same thing with swords and axes, which do slashing damage and piercing damage, respectively... but a hammer does blunt damage, which does not allow the poison to enter the body. When a hammer slams into somebody with poison all over the head, all it does is smear the poison over the guy's armor. I'm probably taking this too literally...
Labrie
Just a little.
chaos dragoon
this skill is now in the henge of denravi
Holy Bladefire
just wondering could u combo this with severe artery- apply poison to sword then use severe artery as the attack would it give 6 pips of health degen or does poison cancel out bleeding...
rii
no they stack. yeah, its imba... they are fixing it in the patch.
Elena
conditions stack so bleeding + poison = fun :P reapplying a condition while its still in effect will cause it to lengthen in time example my AP says it poisons for 2 seconds if i hit my target again in those 2 seconds the condition timer will be reset to 2 seconds

7 pips. This is one of the reasons I like Apply Posion over Posion Arrows. If you tag someone with a Hunter's Shot while they are moving, it's a quick 7 degen from a single shot.

plus the (2-3 seconds? never paid attention to cast time) it takes to "apply" the poison, thats slower then hunters then poison arrow

is it a fiery fiery dragon sword or just a fiery dragon sword...

Dragon swords are ALWAYS fiery and ALWAYS do fire damage.
quickmonty
you can also find it at Ember Light Camp, where all non-elites can be purchased.
r a m e n x 1
can you get this from a quest or do you have to buy it?
Son of Urza
You have to buy it.
Non-main city trainers will always have about 5 skills or so, and those skills will always be non-questable. Those trainer's skills usually show up later in a main city skill trainer, along with other skills that were questable at about the same time.

off the track - is there a list of skills that you can obtain thru quests? I've found a list of skills but you have to click on each skill to see if it can be obtained thru quest which is a PITA.
