Shattering Spite
Stamp your spear, destroying all Bloodstone Lances on each enemy in your Presence to cause a damaging explosion around that enemy. Each explosion gains new benefits when reaching higher thresholds of Bloodstone Lances removed from an enemy, causing them to deal more damage, have increased area of effect, and Leech Life from enemies caught in the blast.
Very solid choice with strong damage or utility for most builds.
