this skill is very helpful for an SS necro

What type of damage does this deal? I'm wondering if it might trigger Mark of Pain.

 * Untyped as in, Armor Ignoring? --MagickElf666 11:35, 1 May 2007 (CDT)
 * Yes. It might be "shadow damage", but the semantics don't really affect the mechanics.--Carmine 16:15, 29 May 2007 (CDT)

IW Mes?
What would happen if you used this or its cousin on an IW mes, since they never hit? I am bobo 09:50, 8 April 2007 (CDT)
 * Swinging under IW doesn't trigger spirit of failure. I don't remember if I ever tested this one, but I assume it would also not trigger.  --Fyren 10:20, 8 April 2007 (CDT)

Trigger on block?
Does this skill deal damage when the attack is blocked? --Jorx 04:57, 3 August 2007 (CDT)
 * Why wouldn't it? Being blocked is still failing to hit. --Kale Ironfist 05:16, 3 August 2007 (CDT)

This skill stacks
If multiple enemies each cast Price of Failure on you it stacks, and it's additive, not multiplicative as far as I can tell. E.g. Four enemy necromancers each cast one copy of this on you = 100% chance to miss. You only take damage from one of the copies though so it's not like 4x damage, just 4x chance to miss. I'm afraid to edit the article because Zulu is a butterfingers and I might crash the wiki server so if anyone else could, please do so, or conduct your own testing.
