Therefore, it would be wise to combine it with [[blindness]], [[block]]ing, or additional accuracy-reducing hexes like [[Blurred Vision]] to both increase the chance to missing and thereby increase the energy gained.
* Spirit of Failure is particularly useful in PvP, as it both recharges the caster's energy while frustrating enemies and lowering the effectiveness of their attacks.

* This [[skill]] can be combined with [[Price of Failure]] as each will cause the enemy to miss more often, thereby triggering both effects more frequently than either alone. For even more fun, combine this skill with Price of Failure and [[Reckless Haste]] and [[Spiteful Spirit]].
 
 
* Great versus Assassins for gaining energy. And the recast time means you can keep it on 3 attackers to almost ensure a lot of damage prevention, energy gain, and wasted time by a monk removing hexes.
