Acquisition[edit]

This skill is more powerful in hard mode as it benefits from the increased attack speed and decreased activation time of foes.
- In Normal Mode, you can use Reckless Haste to increase the foe's attack speed.
Arcane Echo can be used to help facilitate this strategy by duplicating the skill.
Capturing this skill from Harvest Soulreign in the mission Against the Charr is fairly difficult as a cinematic will start shortly after he is killed, and his corpse will be removed immediately afterwards. It is however possible to do so by killing Gordam Griefgiver first, starting activating Signet of Capture when Soulreign is nearly dead, and with quick reflexes capture Spiteful Spirit before the cinematic starts.

The three original Prophecies bosses that this skill can be captured from are Nightmares and one also seems to appear in the skill icon.
