[edit] Usage
Poison Dagger is the Necromancer's first poison skill. Initially it is a good skill, but quickly becomes useless as the Necromancer gains ranged spells such as Bone Spear and Bone Spirit. The only exception are Necromancers who specialize in using this skill.
Only works with a Dagger-class weapon.
[edit] History
The apothecary skills of the Necromancer lay fundamentally in the studies of venoms, toxins and other poisonous substances. Not only can a skilled Necromancer identify the various strains of poison that he might come across, but he also maintains a ready supply of samples. Rarely does he shy from their use. In a common application of this skill, the Necromancer paints his dagger with a thin coat of virulent poison. The greater his ability, the more potent the poison.
