It does. It has Wasp Sting/Viper Bite, and it has a Poison Mist bomb via Ninjutsu.
I do miss the Poison Stances though. It was not really a tough choice between an extra second of stun and health restoration. Would be neat to see something like that return, but Ninja has always been a busy job.





NIN probably has the most gameplay roleplay out of all the jobs (which I respect, even though I don't really like the Ninja theme itself, no fault to SE, I definitely notice all the little flares in design, all fours, stealth, mug, many toolkit options, etc).. I wouldn't mind seeing the poison come back in addition to that. Though I do feel NIN theme is less poison based at this point as that was really a leftover of Thief being absorbed into NIN. Maybe Viper will uh.. have venom... I think Viper is going to be the elements of Thief that people lost to NIN, in some sense. (Yes I'm aware the class is called Rogue and not Thief, long ago they made this choice because they felt like a city state would not host a guild of Thieves, but would do so for Rogues and in that era all jobs had classes, so it was a thing they felt they had to do unlike now where we go straight job. In an interview they said effectively they're the same-- in their mind lol).
So I wouldn't mind it, but I think it might be better if NIN continued to go in the themes it has (ninjitsu assassin), and then Viper can pick up the scoundrel bits that were lost. But it's not a strong opinion and I respect that you want to see poison, just my thought on what would be thematically stronger.
