Poison Imbuement

Poison Imbuement is a Rogue skill from the Imbuements skill tree. Its features are:

Grants Player	Exploits Condition
Poison Dmg	Critical Strike Chance *

'Grants Player' means this skill creates this condition i.e it could make a target Vulnerable. 'Exploits Condition' means this skill takes advantage of this condition, not necessarily of its own making. So for example another skill might Stun and this skill could take advantage of that.

* An improved Critical Strike Chance for X seconds can be applied by non-imbueable skills but the increased Poison damage (from Blended Poison Imbuement) can only be exploited via a Poison Imbued Skill.
