Drawing of Souls

[Gothmatum]

<p>I just hit 52 last night, and had Drawing of Souls appear in my spellbook.  It seems interesting, but the abilities it gives seem to be random.  How do use Drawing of Souls, if at all?  Does this spell and its proc abilities sit on your hotbar, or is it collecting dust in your spellbook?</p>

<p>As for me, I use the spell itself all the time, but just because it serves as a heal to my pet with Tainted Heals. The spells it gives you - there are 6 of them  and I do have them in my hotbar, but very rare use them, because:</p><p>There is one <a href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Servile_Soul" target="_blank">AoE pet</a>, which hits NOT only encounter, but all mobs nearby - rarely I'd use such spell.</p><p>There is <a href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Soothing_Soul" target="_blank">a heal</a> - but it gives too small amount of HP for me to use it.</p><p>There is <a href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Pestilent_Soul" target="_blank">pboe spell</a>, around you - funny to gather several level 10 mobs around you and nuke them.. Other than that I didn't see any use.</p><p>There is <a href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Feasting_Soul" target="_blank">DoT with heal</a> add - maybe the one I use more regulary.</p><p>Two <a href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Drawing_of_Souls" target="_blank">other buffs</a> are pretty much useless imho and not worth mentioning.</p>

<p>There is only two good "drawing souls" spells to use</p><p>Unstoppable Soul:   Cast this on yourself before a Lifeburn... macro it to youself</p><p>Pestilent Soul: an okay PBAOE.   useful in heroic instances when POTM and POM are up for example. </p><p>Rest are crap.  </p>

<p>Do not underestimate Unstopable Soul.  I run both DoS and SoS on my hotbars to give me two of everything.  Adding 16% hp to your raid MT on a pull can make all the difference, and being able to back that up mid fight with the second one, or having the second available for another pull while refreshing the first is very useful.</p><p>When you see your spell take a tank over 30k hp, it's a good feeling, and remember that your 16% added about 3300hp toward that.</p>

<p>The only one that is crap is the heal over time soothing soul.  Everything else is useful to a degree.  Flayers boosts casting skills, Unstoppable defense and HP, Servile is a temp pet that lives longer than Imps at M1, The AE is nice, the Life Tap DoT is nice.</p><p>It's all pretty much useful.  Keep Siphon up and keep these skills on your hotbar.  No sense not using them.  16% HP at master 1 Unstoppable is a nice increase to Life Burn damage as well.</p>
