Guild Wars 2

Could someone please explain to me what attacks this venom works on?

Is it supposed to work on steal (mug) ? Or cloak and dagger? I feel that it uses the charge on the steal, but doesn’t proc the stun.

It seems like it only works less then half the time, maybe I am missing something?

It is good for one attack (mug should apply it) if you miss it due to out of range, blind, or evade it is wasted. I feel like the venoms should only “fire” if the attack lands but currently any attack after the venom is applied counts toward the total attacks regardless of whether they connect or not.

A good way to prevent wasting the basilisk venom is to use C&D just before stealing. If the enemy is out of range, the steal will disrupt your C&D without wasting the venom. If the enemy is in range … well happy-slap ‘till your heart’s content.

I use the extra venom trait and my target never gets stunned from Mug>CnD.
It’s only an Elite Skill, give Anet about 4 months to fix this.
