Pet Training Poisoning

[PlayerSkillFTW]

Just so you know, don't bother adding the Poisoning ability to any pet that doesn't already come with it. Even if you train the pet up to GM Poisoning skill, it'll still only apply Lesser Poison. I heard of the bug earlier, and so to confirm it i put the Poisoning ability on my 100% Poison Crimson Drake, and trained him up to GM Poisoning, and he only inflicts Lesser Poison still. Pets that innately have the Poisoning ability, aren't affected by the bug.
@Kyronix Another bug with Pet Training that needs to be fixed. Btw, was the fix for the Control Slot display in the Lore window not matching the actual Control Slots (caused by pets skipping Slots when you add points) fixed in a hotfix, or is it scheduled for the next update? If it was fixed in a hotfix, then it wasn't retroactive. I still have a Frost Mite that takes up 5 Control Slots, but the Lore Window says 4 - 5.

Good to know, thanks. I was considering using poisoning ability on several of my pets; I'll just stick with magery.

think it's a feature not a bug, you need to select certain special moves/abilities in order to take advantage of the poisoning, sorry it's complicated.

+1 Mervyn.

Learn poison and check skills, not too hard and loads of findings on taming forums if you bother to look.

Supposedly, the poisoning level and the slot jump are not normal, and are both bugs, and there is promise/plan they will be fixed with next oublish, hopefuly coming up shortly. The devs I hear are aware of the poisoning intensity issue. Dont nuke the pet that had the non-native poisoning yet, just wait for the pub to hit.
