Talking Spiteful Spirit + ________
It's odd, but I notice that people don't always pair SS with other skills very often. Personally, I have a few options that I pair it with depending on how quickly I want to kill a target and what I want outta it. Just curious what combinations you use when Pairing SS with other skills?


me, it's Spiteful Spirit + ....
  • Empathy
    Nice for anti-warrior. Plus, it does some nice AOE dmg
  • Backfire
    Not very effective, but I found it worked with low success against casters
  • Insidious Parasite
    Stealing life and punishing attacks, this is one I still use today.
  • Reckless Haste
    Speed up the AOE damage by letting them kill away
  • Arcane Echo
    I don't echo it, but I know many like to echo SS, so... thought I might as well mention it.


I'm sure there are other possiblities, but I can't think of any off hand. What else do y'all pair SS with in some of your builds?

(Not asking for the build, but rather how you pair your skills with SS)


BTW, I almost always use Parasitic Bond as a cover enchantment.

Just looking to see what other combos people use

In PvE, I use the following:

SS + Parasitic Bond (cover hex)

SS + Backfire + Parasitic Bond (again cover hex) on casters only

SS + Empathy + Parastici Bond on warriors and rangers mainly

Archane echo + SS only when I was in Fire Island in Tyria

SS + Phantom Pain (again cover hex)

These are the main ones. I love my N/Me

I like arcane echo >> ss >> echoed ss >> reckless haste on two off-targets that are near each other. They damage everything while I focus my other spells on targets I want to kill first.

Make your enemies miss alot, but attack more often. When they attack they hurt themselves and their friends, when they miss they hurt themselves some more, and even if they do hit you, it won't hurt.

Cover with Parasitic Bond. You can cover with Suffering too, but I like Parasitic more.

Ya, SS+Reckless Haste+Price of Failure ftw...watching how Warriors kill themselves...lovely.

I stacked all these Hexes @ a Warrior whiling doing a AB once, his allies where all standing around him and they had about 50%HP left. The Warrior didnt stop swinging is axe...and he actually killed his own team...very amusing

I often use Enfeeble, Insidious, and SS together on warriors n' assassins.
Either that or SS, Reckless Haste, and Spirit of Failure.
Or for casters, SS and Backfire.
All pretty standard fare, I'm sure.

I don't ever really use Arcane Echo with it, though.

You use Archane Echo + SS on an enemy that no one else is attacking. Then you go to a target next to it and use the echoed SS on that target and it makes them do damage to each other and EVERYTHING else.

Its hard to get used to, however. Takes practice.

I got used to it fairly quickly. With two 20%/50% recharge items, I can even use SS three-four times which spreads the damage love liberally in the right places.

I am also fond of Reckless Haste + SS for the damage increase.

Spiteful Spirit + Reckless Haste + Price of failure + Insidious Parasite (Takes all my energy away, but its still funny to watch a warrior/ranger/assassins hp fly down before they know what's going on).

I don't like stacking things like Reckless Haste and Price of Failure with SS. Seems redundant, unnecessary, outside of covering SS. All you need to do is Enfeeble + SS + Parasitic Bond and the W or R or A or whatever is most likely a goner. I like to save my other skill slots for a little caster hate, like enchant-stripping and interrupting. Bringing blood skills like Well of Blood and Blood Ritual can benefit your team, too.

Put a few attributes in inspiration. Fire off Energy tap then SS again then Leech Signet and you should have enough energy to hit Parasite and SS again when they recharge. An interrupt and energy drain that recharges me at the same time makes me happy...

Why not Power Drain? It gives you much like these skills in one slot.
