Signet of Spite Question
LoS works funky in this game. A lot of small items on the ground could cause obstruction. This is very noticeable for not just spite, but epi, and various forms of teleport as well. Only true teleport like spectral walk or portal bypasses this issue entirely.
It’s worst in WvW. Lots of bizarre places in there where LoS isn’t clear when it should be.
I find that this skill along with a few others that Necros have take a great deal longer to finish casting sometimes as well.
I have a difficult time monitoring it but I suspect we interrupt our own cast sometimes with regards to LOS, and the use of other skills a bit too early.
Some skills can wait in a queue for casting until the other finishes but SoS certainly does not “wait” and can be cut prematurely short.
This is anecdotal however as I haven’t been able to test it completely. Either way I agree that it can fail too easily at times.
