===Catalyst=== | |||
The Touch of Malice's Catalyst obtained from a puzzle in King's Fall. It grants '''Rapid Hit'''; if used correctly, this allows the user to cancel its intrinsic perk faster if necessary while also reducing the kick from Charged with Blight, making the weapon easier to control and more comfortable to use over long periods of firing. | |||

New to the ''Destiny 2'' version of Touch of Malice is the perk Charged with Blight, which uses precision hits to charge up a secondary attack. Once fully charged with ten hits, holding reload chambers in a Darkness Bolt that poisons and blinds enemies for a brief period of time when fired. Additionally, while not explicitly mentioned in the perk description, enemies poisoned by the Darkness Bolt take 50% more damage from all [[Weapons of Sorrow]], i.e. Touch of Malice itself, [[Thorn]], [[Osteo Striga]] and [[Necrochasm]]. This further empowers the weapon's already-high DPS and makes returning strategies for team use of the weapon even more effective. | New to the ''Destiny 2'' version of Touch of Malice is the perk Charged with Blight, which uses precision hits to charge up a secondary attack.
