== Changes in 3.3.0 ==
When in combat this function now "picks up" the item instead of equipping it, similar to [[API_PickupInventoryItem|PickupInventoryItem]]. Out of combat, the function behaves as expected.  This change was made to address the issue of rogues using "poison swapping" addons to increase their DPS.<ref>{{ref web|url=http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=21042559255&pageNo=1&sid=1#6|title=Blue post confirming 3.3.0 change}}</ref>
