Anyone know where to get this skill?

Mango Midget · Jun 18, 2005, 10:56 PM // 22:56

A shadow Boss at Moladune give this skill.

bioxeed · Jun 20, 2005, 02:57 AM // 02:57

Also one of the shadow bosses in snake dance has it

Tsukiyomi · Jul 23, 2005, 05:00 PM // 17:00

A shadow boss outside of Camp Rankor gives this.

Can also be capped from the Shadow Lord in Fissure Of Woe.

I capped this skill today but I don't quite see what all the fuss is about. I got my necro's curses to 16 and it does OK damage, but on guy said this skill is in his book for the top ten elites in the game. What makes this skill so good?

(My primary is an air ele, so maybe it just seems small damage because its actual output per target is small, but it's AoE and requires a trigger)

Explain to me how u can cap a shadow boss if its body disappears immediately after u killed it?

Isn't there another way of getting it??

A shadow's body disappears when killed, but a shadow BOSS's body does not.

The skill is basically Empathy on steroids, with a nice PBAoE effect on the castee for clearing out PvE groups. With its reasonably short cooldown, you could keep it on someone continuously who doesn't have some kind of hex removal/prevention, making them radioactive; any time they do _anything_ they take ~30-ish damage at high Curses and spread that damage to teammates next to them. It's not a killer in and of itself, but it's the very definition of what a Curses skill should be -- an annoying hex that tacks a life hit onto any action.

this skill will cause hasty death to any group with a stupid warrior in it. (only one required)

is the shadow boss south or north of rankor?

I dont understand why people dont stop hitting. Its not hard. ca anti warrior... great skill when stacked with all the other stuff.

ZenRgy · Oct 06, 2005, 05:23 AM // 05:23

My friend and I used to do this combo together for a fun anti-warrior build.

He was a spiker/nuker w/ Blinding Flash.

I used Spiteful Spirit, Empathy And Price of Failure and the warrior would take 60+ dmg at least each time he attacked.

It's a good skill.

Orochim4ru · Oct 06, 2005, 05:16 PM // 17:16

O_o then the warrior can... gasp.. stop attacking!

Means he becomes useless, that's kinda the point

i love this spell, whenever im bored with pve with my necro i go into pvp using spiteful + insidious + enfeeble, and then use prot spells from my monk secondary to keep me from dieing

Thanas · Oct 10, 2005, 06:45 PM // 18:45

This is a truely great skill. Use this with echo and mark of pain with awaken the blood and u r looking at 120 dmg around every couple of secs to a mob. Its a real mob killer. I'm even happier now I can see the damage my spiteful spirit does.

Rey Lentless · Oct 10, 2005, 08:38 PM // 20:38

It doesn't do enough damage to be a very good skill. Unlike something like backfire which does enough damage to stop someone from doing something, spiteful doesn't.. you can still get off key spells, skills, or even attack for a while with it on and just get an occassional heal to offset it.

It is an ok skill if you arcane it and have a couple people using it, along with overloading their hex removal.. then it can become a reliable source of damage. But with a normal team, you don't want to waste your necro's elite on this. Can be ok against iway, but again.. not worth wasting your elite to counter something you can counter better a ton of other different ways.

It stops warriors from doing much. It's like an elite version of empathy.

You don't use it primary for damage but for shutdown. You can stop the enemy spamming something with this.

Means he waits 2 seconds for a convert, then continues hitting you.

10 second recharge on spiteful, plus not every monk carries a remove hex.
