I'm currently playing an assassin executioner in this season's enounters and was wondering if anyone with any knowledge of the drow (and other monsters I'll likely find in the underdark) could chime in on a question of mine. Is it worth taking the Venom Hand Master feat (ignore poison resistance and immunity)? My dailies are essentially poison attacks (one of which makes a weapon deal an extra 4 poison damage for the rest of the encounter). I know the drow like to keep spiders which probably have at least some level of poison resistance, but I don't know about what else I should expect (and thus how useful the feat will be over my other options).
This is the level up test (Currently playing at level one, but planning my feats out). I tend to focus on using my garrote for most of my attacks. Two-Weapon defense could also be retrained into something else as well. Also of note, bog heritage feat gives me +2 to nature (not a big deal) and this power:
Bog Hunter's Poison
