Problem with siphon soul generated spells

[Alienor]

Siphon Soul should give 6 different spells<ul><li><a href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Feasting_Soul" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Feasting Soul</a> - Disease DOT with power and health increase for caster </li><li><a href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Flayer%27s_Soul" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Flayer's Soul</a> - Buff Max Power and casting and melee skills </li><li><a href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Pestilent_Soul" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Pestilent Soul</a> - PBAE disease damage </li><li><a href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Servile_Soul" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Servile Soul</a> - Dumbfire pet </li><li><a href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Soothing_Soul" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Soothing Soul</a> - Heal over time </li><li><a href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Unstoppable_Soul" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Unstoppable Soul</a> - Buff Max Health and mitigation vs physical damage </li></ul>once used, I get every spell back after max 2 uses of the debuff.  All, but the HoT, which is somewhat strange to me. Has anybody else experienced some issues with this?

[Zharok]

<p>Yeah, same issue here, haven't gotten the HoT. I've used siphon of souls on hundreds of encounters and find the odds that I don't have the HoT very unlikely.</p>

[Moza]

<p>Ditto. Casting this sucker hundreds of times and I easily get all temp spells other than the HoT.</p><p> I thought at first it was because I couldnt have both the T7 M1 and T8 a3 versions at the same time, even though it I could with the other 5 (e.g. I had all 6 loaded as M1 t7 versions - same name but different stats to each - I then used my T8 a3 version to get 5 of the t8 versions. All except the HoT which is never granted. Seems bugged).</p><p>Comment re: T7 M1 vs T8 A3 versions - all t8 ones are better in terms of the stat of what it does EXCEPT the 2 percentage based ones. The T7 M1 boosts hp 16% vs 14% for the t8 a3. So for boosting power or hp, it stands to reason a necro would want to continue to use the t7 m1 version to have those loaded.</p>

<p>Same issue here.  Have all the spells but this one so far, and I have an open slot in my hot key bars, and have checked my knowledge book just in case.</p><p>I will bug this in game tonight.</p>

Same here.  I came back from almost a year of playing VG and I thought they had changed the spell.

Any news when this will be fixed? I've been missing my Soothing Soul of late <img src="/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

[Griffildur]

No issue for me with this. I have all 6 spells on my bar , I use them a lot and never noticed any of them being harder to get than the rest.

[Zorbac]

I am having this same problem. I have the ad3 version of the spell.

[GrumshVeeshan]

Hmmm, well I am lvl 80 and have had this spell A3 until I was able to take it as an M2 choice (segueway bug you notice M2 is pointless mouse over the proc spells they are all M1's but I am sure hell will freeze over before that is fixxed). ANyways I assumed that the heal over time was dropped from this spell, I have literally NEVER had it proc. Am a Ratonga Necro level 80 useing Master 2 version of spell, keep about 4-5 stacks of skulls in last bag, and am Str/Int/Wis specced with Tainted heals/Lifeburn spec.... sharing this in case a dev gets a wild hair and actually looks into this (or the M2 version only granting M1 procs) issue.

[Alienor]

After GU42 I still get no heal spell from siphon soul despite promised otherwise in the update notes. Also the pet is as usual lagging behind. Have they really patched anything Necro-relevant at all??

[wullailhuit]

I have never ever managed to get Soothing soul either.

[Deada]

<p>Okay, heres what I've got for ya.... this is not a proven fix or anything, just something that I have found works for me 98% of the time.</p><p>If you want the HoT spell, use the Siphoning souls somewhere in the fight closer to the end so it wont time out ( shorter fights it doesnt matter) then during the rest of the battle, use your heals ( not tainted heal) as much and often as you can, even if a heal is not needed, throw it out there. Ive found this works for me, again, just as in past posts on this topic, you dont get a spell on every cast, so it might take a few mobs to get it.. Same thing for AoE spell, just AOE and grp damage as much as possible. another thing I find helped to actully geetting a spell is trying to get the killshot. If im Soloing and just let the pet kill the mob, I can go forever without getting a spell, but I will stop the pet from attacking before the mob is dead and kill it myself, and the success rate increases. so give it a try and see if it works for you, it has for me, but again, Im just a guy <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>
