I thought some skill combinations last night, is this total own for PvE since it's kinda easy keep mobs grouped?

[skill]Well of Darkness[/skill] [skill]Reckless Haste[/skill] [skill]Spiteful Spirit[/skill]

Mobs have huge change to miss, they attack faster and every time they attack they take damage. Just thought this.

Known combo. Nothing to discuss here.

If you search, you can probably find 100 builds on these forums that use [wiki]Spiteful Spirit[/wiki], often in combination with [wiki]reckless haste[/wiki]. Personally, I would go with [wiki]enfeebling blood[/wiki] over [wiki]well of darkness[/wiki], as you don't need a corpse to start it off, and weakness will reduce both attributes (for spellcasters) and damage from melee attackers. You could bring well of darkness as well, I suppose, but there are better skills in general.

Don't know. You've chosen the right equipment, but it all hinges on your swing.

I suppose you can add [skill]price of failure[/skill]

And if you had a Mez 2ndary, [skill]spirit of failure[/skill]

Only thing that sucks is you need a corpse for the well. But with PVE you will have plenty after the opening attack. Make sure your team knows to stand in the well (some always have issues with it)

I just cant convince myself to run reckless haste, especialy in HM (making a single monster to miss 50% of the time for 15e dont make my day). I would rather be casting barbs, enfeebling blood or defile/dessecrate enchantments, keep the slot open for rip enchantment or, *gasp* and *choke*, shadow of fear.

Monk bosses I guess or maybe dervish stuff.

Enchant removal is very strong in HM PvE, given the area. Also, that combo is pretty well known.

Seconded, Id not want to waste a corpse on a well when it could be used to create a tasty new minion (from my hero MM).

Thought RH in HM was redundant since the attacks are already at maximum speed.

If you're going for damage reduction, reckless haste will still make them miss 50% of the time. Personally, I think it is better in HM than it is in NM.
You do have to pay attention and cast it on a group of monsters - if you just get one target, it's kind of wasted.

Monk bosses can be annoying, but are often not threatening. Many derv mobs in pve usually use enchants that have a harmful effect when they ends. Sometimes it's better to not disenchant them. For general use, disenchants suck in pve. The only time I actually brought some was against HM grawl with HH or Raisu palace with the Sliver armor spammers

Other than that, keep it in PvP.

I said keep the slot open...

Didnt said stick it in there.

In some situations in HM it just helps.

And when u see those aura of faith bosses you will also like it alot.

Reckless haste in NM does it job- cover hex, damage reduction and dps booster.
In HM I dont know... It has too high energy cost and to high recharge if u need to throw that at a melee bunch and at a ranged bunch.
