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.

Echo+SS is the most common thing

yeah, but I hate that combo. I don't find it as useful as some.

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.

Spiteful Spirit
Reckless Haste
Arcane Echo
Enfeebling Blood <------Important


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.

Spiteful Spirit
Reckless Haste
Price of Failure <--- for that Warrior you really hate.
Enfeebling Blood

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

SS + price of failure + reckless haste

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.

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.

SS--> Reckless haste-->para bond followed by a defile/desecrate enchantments,,, it always amazes me how much pain this combo puts on bad guys in factions
