Poison
Poison weapons are nice, but they don't stay poisoned for long. Note that there are two levels of success when you're poisoning weapons. If it tells you "You apply a dose of poison to the weapon," that means your chance of actually poisoning someone is a bit of a longshot. If it says "You apply a good dose of poison to the weapon," your odds are much better.
Poisoning weapons is not the only use for a Poison potion, however. Energy Vortex, the deadliest PvP spell, relies primarily on an extremely virulent poison for its deadliness. However, it is an oddity of the game that a character who's been poisoned cannot be poisoned again until the original poison wears off, even if the second poison is stronger. Therefore, some hardcore PvPers have taken to quaffing a minor Poison potion early in combat, to pull the teeth of enemy Energy Vortexes.
