Hi all.
I'm still relatively new to the profession, but I've noticed something and i'm not sure if its normal or something im doing wrong
I have 2 Kusaks i regularly call to fight
Kusak one has medium poison as his 2cd special
Kusak two had strong poison as his 1st special
to my recollection neither has ever once landed a poison on an enemy when i give the commands special attack 1 or 2
however they have landed thepoison specialsrandomly (and rarely)in encountersbeforeI havegiven ANY special attack commands
I have fought many hundred's of enemies with these two petswhile being mindfull of this so I'm confident i have enough encounters to come to the conclusion that this cant be the way it is supposed to work ...
Any idea what im doing wrong?
I just reached master creature handler lastnight , and recieved the command ranged attack which i have not used extensively, is itpossible the poisons will only work with theranged attack command?

You aren't doing anything wrong.
Poison, disease and knockdown do not work on command. They have been broken for as long as the option to use specials has been around. They will, as you note, work randomly for your pets.
