poison arrows, my achilles heal - Guild Wars Forums

Galeron · Aug 15, 2005, 05:18 AM // 05:18

Is there a warrior skill that can be used as some sort of defense against poison arrows? I drop like a sack of rocks if I get hit with just one or two of them. I have 85 factor armor, ignore pain and healing signant, but 99 times out of a hundred, I die in a matter of seconds when I'm poisoned.

bring something to counteract it like mending or healing breeze or something that can counteract the energy degen

You're not going to use your primary warrior skills to fend off poison. At most, "I Will Survive" will help you for maybe a few seconds but that's IT...

Use your secondary to deal with your problems. Some classes have a way of dealing with DoT. You can use remove hex [if it's a dot hex], plague touch, Antidote Signet, to name a few.

Poison causes a health degen of 4 pips (= 8 health per second), so you shouldn't die very quickly from poison. It's another matter, however, is several conditions are stacked (poison, bleeding, disease, etc.), because health degens can be stacked up to 10 pips. But even with full degen it takes 24 seconds to die...

Removing conditions, as said by the previous poster, will have to rely on your secondary profession. If you're an R/N, Plague Touch is ideal, because for that you don't even need to invest attribute points into any Necro attributes.
