probably had high poison/toxic resist so it didn't work. lingering dragoncrest ring boosts how long the cloud stays though.

Re: Toxic Mist?
It can actually be very effective, but they need to stay in the cloud for a second or two, depending on their resistance. Also, I wouldn't use it on stairs because it would be easy to get above or below the cloud, and you may not even really hit them with it. It is best used on flat ground on someone who has a slow swinging weapon so they may get stuck in animations, or someone in heavy gear (or none) which likely has lower resistance. You can also use it in a fight if the target is already engaged with someone else; your allies will be immune, but the target may not be able to break loose and escape.
It's also quite handy because the cloud tends to expand around or beyond walls and corners, so if you suspect you are going to be ambushed by someone you can turn at an angle in the hallway and basically fire it at the blind corner where you think they are hiding. It will at a minimum flush them out, and likely toxify them. I use it fairly often like this if I suspect there's a fire tempest ambush ahead.

It does?!!?!?!
amgad making a character with high attune and as many mist spells as I can pack into it rofl!
The trick is not using lock on and shooting the clouds upwards so you can fling them around making escape no longer an option, run from one cloud into the next, smoke the whole dang room out.

Toxin build-up stacks, so throw some dung pies from behind your toxic cloud. Afaik, dung pies are a bit more toxic as well.

Re: Toxic Mist?
Toxic mist = good crowd control against noobs. Against any half good player it = death.
