Related traits

•  Leeching Venoms — Venom utility skills siphon life from struck foes. Gain stacks of Spider Venom when you enter or exit stealth. Siphoning can only occur once per strike.

Notes

• Stacks with effects from other traits:
  • Might and Life steal from  Leeching Venoms
• Venoms do not stack when provided by two or more different thieves. However, their effects on one target do stack respectively to each condition's rules.
• With the exception of   Basilisk Venom, venoms shared by this trait will use the thief's attributes (condition damage, healing power, etc.) instead of the player's to whom it was applied.
• The thief may trigger secondary effects off of these condition applications, such as weakening an enemy with  Lotus Poison when an ally poisons an enemy with a shared   Spider Venom.

Patch	Changes
July 26, 2016	The sharing aspect of this trait is now baseline. Recharge reduction has been moved to Leeching Venoms. This trait has been removed.
June 23, 2015	Specialization update: Updated this trait to reflect the introduction of the specialization mechanic. Quick Venoms has been merged into this trait. Venom recharges are reduced by 20%.
September 09, 2014	This trait now maintains condition ownership when venoms are shared, using the thief's condition damage and condition duration attributes instead of the condition damage and attributes of the player that poisoned the creature. The thief may trigger secondary effects off of these condition applications, such as weakening an enemy with Lotus Poison when an ally poisons an enemy with a shared Spider Venom. Healing effects, such as those from Skelk Venom or the Leeching Venoms trait, will use the thief's healing power and power attributes but will continue to recognize the attacking player as both the healing source and healing target. Basilisk Venom still treats the attacking player as the source. This was done to maintain the ability for other classes to activate on-control and on-interrupt effects such as Halting Strike when using a thief's Basilisk Venom.
October 15, 2013	Increased the venom share radius to 360.
February 26, 2013	Activating a venom skill with this trait equipped will now briefly display an indicator ring around the thief.
August 28, 2012	Game release: Venomous Aura has been added to the game.
