This should read "For 24 seconds". The 15-2-12 figures are correct.

Does this skill work on melee attacks? Wand/cane/staff attacks? (My ranger hasn't gotten far enough to obtain it yet)

No, it doesnt. When you apply poison, it just causes all arrows to have a coat of poison on them.

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?

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.

I believe the name is Captain Greywind in Ascalon Settlement above Lions Arch

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.

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.

No one really helped, where can this be found?

If memory serves you can get it in Ascalon Settlement

You are correct. The first place that you can get this skill is in ascalon settlement which is north of Lion's Arch.

you can get it in norht krtyta province from a vendor. north of lions arch or something. im not sure
