''Throw a virulent parasite at the enemy. Deals wood damage.''<br><br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;While it has the lowest damage output, Venomous Scarab is a definite must for a venomancer. Being the magic skill with the shortest cooldown you'll often find yourself relying on it while waiting to reuse your other skills. Additionally, it's particularly useful for regenerating chi. It's recommended to max this skill as soon as possible.

''Throw a splinted bug at the enemy inflicting wood damage and reducing the target's physical defense.''<br><br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Ironwood Scarab is another extremely important skill for a venomancer to have. This skill allows you to do considerable damage as well as reduce the target's physical defense. Taking into consideration that the majority of any pet's attacks will be physical, you will be helping to amplify your pet's damage output. It's also an important debuff to use when squadded with [[blademaster]]s, [[barbarian]]s, [[archer]]s, [[assassin]]s, and [[seeker]]s as they will primarily be doing physical damage. Be wary though as spamming this skill too much will cause you to lose chi quickly. Max this skill as soon as possible.

'''Maxed At:''' Level 64<br>
|-
| style="width:700px;" colspan="2" | '''Description:'''<br>
''Throw a flaming parasite, can cause damage by fire continually.''<br><br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Blazing Scarab is a fairly mediocre skill. It does however shine when used against mobs that have a metal affinity (fire being their weakness). Avoid using this skill against mobs with a water affinity as your damage will be weakened. Leveling this skill will be a personal preference but it should not be a priority.

| '''Learned At:''' Level 29<br>
'''Maxed At:''' Level 74<br>
|-
| style="width:700px;" colspan="2" | '''Description:'''<br>
''Throw an icy bug at the enemy inflicting wood damage. Has a chance to freeze the target in place.''<br><br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Since this skill requires one spark, venomancers oftentimes do not find it worthwhile to use. With Ironwood Scarab already consuming chi and Bramble Hood requiring two sparks in later levels, this skill can simply be replaced with higher level skills that do not consume chi. It's recommended that you leave this skill at level one and max it at later levels when you have spirit to spare.

| colspan="2" | '''Noxious Gas'''
|-
| align="center" | [[image:Skill5.jpg|Noxious Gas]]
| '''Learned At:''' Level 39<br>
'''Maxed At:''' Level 75<br>
|-
| style="width:700px;" colspan="2" | '''Description:'''<br>
''A large disease ridden toxic parasite attacks the target causing it and surrounding enemies to suffer wood damage over time.''<br><br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Noxious Gas is one of two area of effects that venomancers have.  As such, it too is a must-have skill. Noxious Gas is fairly unique because it inflicts instant damage as well as damage over time. You will find this skill much more helpful at higher levels when you're grinding with several mobs at once or when in a zhen party. This skill should be maxed but feel free to pace its leveling.

| align="center" | [[image:Skill6.jpg|Lucky Scarab]]
| '''Learned At:''' Level 49<br>
'''Maxed At:''' Level 85<br>
|-
| style="width:700px;" colspan="2" | '''Description:'''<br>
''Sling-shot a sharp stone covered with viral plagues at the enemy. Has a chance to stun the target.''<br><br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This is perhaps one of the highest damage attacks that a venomancer can use. At later levels it will also become one of your primary attacks. Due to its long cooldown you will not be able to use this skill as frequently as Venomous Scarab or Ironwood Scarab but it is still very worthwhile to attain. The stun provides an added bonus to the attack but even when maxed, this stun lasts for an extremely short time. You should therefore not rely on this casting effect too heavily. Max this skill as soon as possible.

| align="center" | [[image:Skill7.jpg|Parasitic Nova]]
| '''Learned At:''' Level 59<br>
'''Maxed At:''' Level 86<br>
|-
| style="width:700px;" colspan="2" | '''Description:'''<br>
''Summon a toxic parasite array to attack the target and all enemies within a radius around it. Deals wood damage.''<br><br>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This skill is the second area of effect that venomancers have. It does a considerable amount of damage and can paralyze a target. You will most likely not find yourself using this skill often because it consumes two sparks but it works well for dealing damage against bosses. It is recommended that you get this skill but pace leveling it.
