It needs to be, when dealing with straight poisoners or poison hybrids. They are giving up blackjack for #### sake. KO poison is like having one-time use disposable blackjacks in your inventory. Imagine if your blackjack disappeared after every time you used it and your blackjacks cost twice as much as normal blackjacks, that's KO poison.

Neurological poison by itself is not dangerous until you've spent more than 10 rounds in combat. Neurological poison is like rot, if you get hit with it, you should word. (it's duration may be a little long, I won't argue with that, but if you are going to cut it's duration to 1/5th, the skill needs to be designed to drop it's best affects in a matter of 1 to 3 rounds after application, not every couple of ticks)

Neurological poison would be both more useful to the thief and more balanced for other players if it was a 2 or 3 tick poison that randomly applied it's affects extremely fast every few pulses but 3 ticks would be long enough to guarantee it's not necessarily all of it's effects. Also ditch the forget effect and up the success rate on mind control effect. Neuro doesn't need to immolate people.

Neurological poison also has to be applied by weapon nick unless you're fooling around in the Inn wearing poisoned gear. Weapon nick is a 2 round lag skill with no damage intended solely to up the application rate of weapon poison.

You are all retarded. It's not the poisons, it's the traps combined with the poisons that's actually killing you.

Both poisoners and trappers have needed a rework in durations, affects, success rates, and skill mechanics for a long time. This is nothing new, it's just as irritating as the rot shaman.
