- Issue
- There are easier ways to inflict poison (Apply Poison, Poison Tip Signet) in the same attribute that don't require an elite slot and cost less energy. Is very much inferior to Burning Arrow.
- Suggestion
- Add some attack damage should bring back from the dead.

- Issue
- Skill is outclassed by non-elites such as Apply Poison and Poison Tip Signet
- Suggestion
- 5 1
- Change effect to, Elite Bow Attack. If Poison Arrow hits, your target and all adjacent foes become Poisoned for 5...17...20 seconds.
- or
- 5 1
- Change effect to, Elite Bow Attack. If Poison Arrow hits, your target foes becomes Poisoned for 5...17...20 seconds. If this attack is blocked, all adjacent foes become Poisoned for 5...17...20 seconds.
Outclassed by Burning Arrow
- Issue
- No one ever uses this skill, and for good reason. Linked to an almost useless attribute, no damage bonus, and apply poison/poison tip signet are much more efficient.
- Suggestion
- Add damage bonus of 5...17...21, give the poison effect an area of effect. Reduce time to 1 seconds.

- Issue
- Now, the biggest issue with this skill is whether it actually has an issue. It's a great way of spreading Poison and paired with Barbed Arrows, this can quickly become a lot of pressure. However, a ranger running Apply Poison can also spread Poison just as well. Whether this should be buffed or not really depends on what is considered better; A ranger able to spread Crippling and Poison or one that spreads Bleeding and Poison? I think both have their pros and cons, and therefore this should be comparable to Crippling Shot.
- Suggestion
- If this skill is considered underpowered, this could simply be resolved by making it unblockable. If for some reason this becomes somewhat too powerful, increase recharge to 2 seconds.
- Elite Bow Attack. Cannot be blocked. Inflicts Poisoned condition. (5...17...20).
Lancy
- Issue
- -Dead elite, inferior to apply poison
- Suggestion
- -added a one second activation for more degen love :)
5 1 2 - (Wilderness Survival) - Elite Bow Attack. "Inflicts Poison condition for 5...17...20 seconds. While under the effects of a preparation, this attack cannot be blocked and strikes for +1...19...23 damage."

- Issue
- I dont use this skill.
- No one uses this skill.
- No reason to use this skill
- Burning Arrow is better than this.
- Poison Arrow - 51 < Burning Arrow - 10 5
- After 5 seconds, Burning Arrow has done +25 and reduce 70 health from burning while Poison Arrow has reduce 40 health.
- Theres better options to spread conditions faster like Incendiary Arrows
- 1 second difference from Poison Tip signet and 2 secs difference from Apply Poison. No reason for Elite.
- Suggestion 1
- Add Unblockable bow attack.
- Or/And add "Deals +0...8...10 damage."
- Or/And add "Adjancent foes are also suffers from Poison condition."
- Suggestion 2
- Instead of posioning, make it Disease.Wild idea, I know. But meh, what the hell.(Later on upon reading the discussion page of Poison Arrow, someone else already post the idea, beating me to it. Dang you ip and your timestamp!)
