Kiss of the Spider
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ruKiss of the Spider is one of the best attack-speed melee trinkets in WoW Vanilla. It drops from Maexxna in Naxxramas and combines passive hit with a powerful on-use attack-speed burst.
Stats
Kiss of the Spider is valuable twice over: passive hit closes part of your hit cap, while the active use gives a sharp attack-speed spike for burst phases.
Stats:
- Type: trinket
- Passive: +hit rating
- Use: +20% attack speed for 15 sec
- Cooldown: 2 minutes
How to get it
The trinket drops from Maexxna, a spider boss in the first wing of Naxxramas. Access requires the Naxxramas key (Argent Dawn reputation) and clearing experience in the Spider Wing.
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Source | Maexxna, Naxxramas |
| Type | Trinket (passive + on-use) |
| Class | Rogue, warrior |
| Stage | Final raid (T3) |
On an x5 server the road to Naxxramas is shorter: Argent Dawn reputation and the key farm faster. Kiss of the Spider is a priority trinket for the raid's top melee DPS — hand it out first.
Who needs it
Kiss of the Spider is especially valuable for rogues: passive hit helps reach the hit cap, and the active attack speed fits perfectly under Adrenaline Rush and Blade Flurry. Fury warriors use it the same way — under Death Wish and Bloodthirst.
x5 tactics
The key with Kiss of the Spider is to never waste the activation. The attack-speed spike should land on the peak of your other cooldowns.
- Rogues — press the trinket together with Adrenaline Rush and Blade Flurry for the maximum number of swings.
- Warriors — sync it with Bloodthirst and world buffs.
- Account for the trinket's hit when gearing: with it you need less hit from other slots.
Summary
Kiss of the Spider is a top-tier melee trinket of Vanilla's final stage. It solves your hit problem and provides an attack-speed burst at once, covering two needs in a single slot. For a rogue or Fury warrior it is one of the last trinket-slot upgrades — getting it effectively completes your melee BiS to the ceiling available in Classic.
