    I'm fairly new to doing pvp. My first run through the game I didn't really do much pvp. But I've started to do it and its been a lot of fun. Most of my pvps were a lot of fun and felt fair.

    I faced one person who threw a bunch of poison items at me, nicked me with some toxic weapons. What do you guys think about poison and toxic using during a pvp?

    To me it felt kind of cheap and unfair. I would prefer to face someone fair and square, without the use of poison items. Is that the norm in pvp though? Maybe I'm just new to it and a lot of people use poison and toxic in pvp..

    My lv75 DW who lives in the Demon Ruins puts poison resin on his +15 laito before every fight, lol.

    Rarely will it kill the opponent, but I love having them have to think about the poison on top of the bleed....(and the occasional Fire Tempest silly )

    I dont use them but lots of ppl do and theres nothing cheap about it. Most poison/toxic attack dont do any/much damage and leaves you open for an attack/BS.

    If someone is hiding around an area waiting for me to come in, obviously they don't want a duel, so it's time for Toxin Mist! It will do nothing, but if they have to cycle through for a bit and use a Moss I can get an attack in usually.

    Or for controlling the movement of farmers, others than those two examples I really don't use it. Sometimes I will just spray it but off and away as sort of a flair.

    Meh, the mists are no big deal. I keep blooming moss in my quick launch menu. I keep backup weapons for me to fast switch. They are easy to avoid, and the animation is long enough to get yourself backstabbed.

    I love the mist spells. I don't use them that much, but they are fun.

    They can be breathed around corners to defeat ambushes. They can temporarily block off passageways, and they can ruin visibility during PvP for various strategic purposes.

    they're good for crowd control, and the poison throwing daggers etc really are only good for making an opponent panic and screw up their defense. besided a spider shield can block poison attacks (maybe not the dung though...)

    And you will be dead before you get acid mist cast.

    When I was lvl 4, I invaded a guy (using the cracked red eye orbs of firelink) in undead burg who was using full stone armor set, PLUS the stone sword. I bowed, and while I was doing that he approach me and casted the TWoP the sword has, and then he continiously casted Acid Mist. It was not fun. Obviously killing him was not an option as my attacks did near to no damage to him. Finally he killed me with an Lighting Avelyn.



    On topic: I don't think it's cheap at all, I usually use poison arrows just to add a factor to worry my opponent about. Also if you have high poison resistance you can toxic people by using the Dung Pies without toxin yourself at the same time.

    It's just a strategy. And most of the time won't kill you but it's something to worry about, so be careful, but most important, don't let that seeing your poison bar fill up distracts you from killing your opponent.

    The best solution against this: A good moss as a hotkey.

    toxic works, poison is more of a pressure trick.

    But in pyromancy with all the other spells available
    I don't find them worthy, the gravelord sword is
    crazy sometimes though.

    i use Toxic Mist and poison throwing knives all the time. the mist gives me room to maneuver (especially when it's 2/3v1) more than anything. anything to even the odds. as long as you aren't camping at the spawn sight and BSing during bows, all's fair.

    I've got to try that... That sounds hilarious!
    I can see people screaming at their tv screen in horror as their life slowly drains away while I'm dodging them with my troll face on.

    As far as the topic, I don't think it's cheap at all. It's nothing you couldn't encounter in pve. I mean the basilisks do the same thing, except it's far more dangerous with the possibility of a curse. Poison arrows, poison knives, poison mist, dung pies, toxic mist, acid mist, gravelord sword, I use all of them, and frequently together.
    When I put it that way I sound like a walking bio hazard twisted

    It's in the game so it's not "unfair".
    I mean, come on... It's not like those flippin tanks, just take a moss and you're healed.
    In every RPG there's a character/class who uses poisons and stuff like that, why would it not be the case in Dark Souls ?

    The spells let your guard wide open, you have to use it with caution if you don't wanna get stabbed in the back and the toxic/poison weapons don't deal a lot of damage (except for the large club but you'll be dead before you get poisoned).

    It's not unfair, it's original but you don't want to adpat your playstyle to it and keep fighting the same melee guys.

    Can be helpful sometimes, but the fact that anyone can munch some moss makes it only a secondary way of dealing damage. You don't want to rely only on poison.

    Not cheap. In fact, I find poison and toxin kind of meaningless in pvp. Fights generally don't last long enough for either to have much effect.

    Yeah this isn't really true at all. I'm working on a build right now that makes A LOT of use of these spells and it's all about timing. You wouldn't believe how many rookie invaders will chase you right into a toxic cloud.
