Guild Wars 2

Patch notes :
Unholy Feast: The number of boons converted to conditions has been increased from 1 to 2

Spiteful Spirit Description :
Cast Unholy Feast when entering shroud

soooo i have tested this numerous times and i only get 1 boon removed from Spiteful Spirit when clearly it states it casts “unholy feast” which should remove 2 boons now! WTF am i going crazy or is this a glitch?

my pwr reaper build would greatly appreciate this fix!

They’ve almost always been disconnected, so changes to one usually take a patch or two to hit the other. It’s definitely not the same spell ID.

The description is also bugged so it doesn’t actually say how many boons are corrupted.

Where the DEVS at!! i think we can all agree the way the trait is worded there should be no difference between the trait or axe skill. Lets get this fixed ASAP, i have boons to corrupt kitten

inb4 fixed tooltip: renamed the spell cast by Spiteful Spirit to reflect its seperation from the axe’s Unholy Feast, similar to Enfeebling Blood vs Enfeeble.

Seriously though, ever since they removed the trait’s cooldown it did indeed cast a different skill than Unholy Feast (slightly less damage), so it wasn’t surprising that Spiteful Spirit wasn’t automatically updated to corrupt 2 boons as well.
Or maybe they did it on purpose because they felt the trait was already balanced?
Either way I wouldn’t hold my breath.

If you ask me, it doesn’t matter what they do to Spiteful Spirit. This will always be the real spiteful spirit. https://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/Spiteful_Spirit

When you have the Unholy Fervor trait equipped, Unholy Feast still only corrupts one boon.

I was not pleased to discover that against the lich in Mad King’s Labyrinth.

Can’t confirm, it works for me.

It corrupts 2 boons the trait?
In the tool tip it doesnt say, so i thought they changed just for the axe skill.
When i get home i will test it.

No, Drarnor says that the regular axe skill Unholy Feast doesn’t corrupt 2 boons when you have the trait Unholy Fervor.
But my axe corrupts 2 boons with or without being traited.
Spiteful Spirit on the other hand only corrupts 1 boon.

I guess they fixed it in one of the smaller patches. I wasn’t seeing more than one boon ripped from Lich minions in the Mad King’s Labyrinth.

What u mean they fix it?
Is the trait corrupting 2 boons now or u ment the axe skill?

Axe = 2 Boons removed
Trait = 1 Boon removed

@ANET Devs, is this intentional or missed?

Traited axe skill, not Spiteful Spirit.

It might be intentional.

Chill of Death and Spiteful Spirit never automatically updated when the related skills were buffed.

Chill of Death still deals the pre-buff damage of Spinal Shivers (40% less). So I am not surprised they did not update Spiteful Spirit.

It also took them ages to remove the 12 second cooldown so that it procs on every shroud enter.

Guess they are afraid Power Necro could become OP (lol).
