Notes

Shiv has a variety of uses:

• Dispelling a boss or player Enrage effect.
• Though it is not explicitly mentioned in the tooltip, it has been confirmed many times that Shiv cannot be dodged. It may also be unable to be parried or blocked. This makes it useful in PVP situations when your opponent is low on life and uses a temporary avoidance boost (such as Evasion).

Poisons

Base poison/concentrated form

• [Crippling Poison]/[Debilitating Poison]
• [Leeching Poison] (talent)/[Leech Vitality]
• [Mind-numbing Poison]/[Mind Paralysis]
• [Paralytic Poison] (talent)/[Partial Paralysis]

Patch changes

• Patch 3.2.0 (04-Aug-2009): Deadly Poison will now apply properly when Shiv is the attack used to break a [Gouge].
  
• Patch 3.1.0 (14-Apr-2009): This ability can no longer generate a critical strike, and the poisons it applies cannot be critical strikes either.
