[edit] Notes

  • This skill triggers when the target fails to hit, for whatever reason. Hence, blocking with a skill (Such as Riposte), simply dodging a ranged attack, or even using the terrain to avoid being hit by a ranged attack will trigger the energy gain.
  • Great synergy with other 'chance to miss' skills like Calculated Risk, Price of Failure, Reckless Haste and Blurred Vision or the condition Blind.
  • Similarly to blocking, "missed" hexes combine multiplicatively and not additively. Thus, a foe hexed with both Reckless Haste and Spirit of Failure has a 62.5% chance to miss with attacks.
