Alchemical Weapon Poisons still worth it?

Sporvan

With the huge improvement to enchantments and recent nerfs to resource draining poisons it seems like poisons are looking more and more like an inferior option to play with. My dps is so much more using enchantments than poisons right now that I can't justify playing with them anymore - even for RP reasons.

1. Poisons cost expensive reagents to make.
2. Even with using poison specific sets (eg. Assassin's Guile) I can outdamage using enchantments.

Is it time to start considering either buffing poisons or making them work in tandem with enchantments? There's no reason to use them anymore it seems.

It's definitely not time to buff poisons. However you feel about enchantments and whatever nerf or adjustment is needed, I can say for sure, it's not time to buff poisons.

Screw it. Balance has already long since been thrown out the window. How much more could buffing poisons do?

currently the only meta that matters is how you are going to build torugs and enchant stacking into your build. Until it is fixed. There is nothing in this game at least pvp wise that can even compare.

The poison only has a 20% chance to proc! That's BS. It's crap.

Buff resource draining poisons?? If by buff them you remove them from the game then sure.

The enchant proc's instantly, by the time your poison fires there will be 3 enchants procs on your death recap.

Poisons were buffed. They used to only proc on light/heavy attacks and now they proc on all weapon abilities and dots. Are you sure poisons are worse than enchants? Let's say you're not using DW + Torug's, take another look at poison.

If you don't use weapon DoTs they're still worth it.
