Toque de Maldad
"Deja que sientan cada latigazo, cada maldición, cada toque de maldad con que me atacaron a mí previamente". (Eris Morn)
Heme aquí, con el poder de crear un arma a partir de los secretos más oscuros de mi enemigo y de herirlo de lleno.
Entonces, ¿qué me detiene?
Cuando contemplo el interior de estos gélidos fragmentos, veo criaturas ciegas retorciéndose. Sienten en sus carnes cada herida que infligen. Cada mordisco que arrancan a la Luz aumenta el vacío rabioso que mueve sus bocas espantosas, nunca lo llena.
Las voces son más intensas que nunca, y mis pesadillas, igual de amargas. Mi odio, negro como el carbón, arde con el mismo calor. Pero siento otra cosa ahora. ¿Podría ser…?
¡No! No lo consentiré.
Construiré esta arma.
This is a random drop from Oryx now rather than a quest, does basically the same thing from D1 but now it also has a new Taken Captain Blight attack, if you get 10 precision hits with the gun and get Charged with Blight x10 you can activate an alt fire mode which increases all Weapons of Sorrow damage by 50%, blinds and poisons targets for about 3 seconds, so this works for Thorn, Osteo Striga and Touch of Malice as of Season 18, and yes as this a Weapon of Sorrow the poison effect will work with Necrotic Grips and spread to any nearby enemies if it gets kills and you have the gauntlets equipped. The catalyst will then add Rapid Hit which will allow you to load/activate that alt fire mode faster to slightly increase DPS. The debuff though makes Touch the single greatest primary for DPS in the game yep even better than Outbreak too, you can melt bosses with it while in a Well, also at the time of this review the gun doubles it's damage again if you debuff a target with the Blight and pair Divinity with it, expect that to be fixed though as I'm almost certain that's a bug.
For PvP the gun melts pretty good for a 260, obviously because the final infinite bullet does double damage (EDIT NOT DOUBLE DAMAGE SORRY), just be careful of it killing you though, if you want to really slay with this in PvP run Loreley, Healing Nades, Devour etc or get the jump on the enemy first oh and be sure to run High Energy Fire or Radiant haha, then you'll really delete people.
10/10 would recommend
In PvP the gun is meh. If your perfect you lose 40 hp every fight(10 hp per shot) in exchange for a perma damage boost. The gun doesn't shine in streaks unless your running devour due to constantly being low hp. It doesn't shine in duels to any gun that isn't a 140 Hc or 150 scout because they are getting a faster TTK due to you just using touch. The blind doesn't do a whole lot, although I could see use in it for team pushes. But at that point Symmetry would do better(Symm and Touch are quite similar) or hawkmoon could just give you a kill. The gun shines if you like playing back of the map far ranged support. It has the highest dps so it makes team shooting strong, a common theme with this weapon is you need teamwork to make it work.
In gambit this gun is just insane in all areas. Nukes invaders, Nukes blockers, nukes the ads when compared with most primaries, nukes primevil for a primary(so much more then anything else). use it in gambit. Its fun
i don't need it..
i DEFINITELY don't need it...
i don't need it...

I NEEEEEEEEEEEED IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT
Having played with the weapon for roughly three days now, I can comfortably say that Touch of Malice sits towards the top of PvE exotic primary weaponry. It shouldn't be ignored in PvP, either. The damage boost from the final round, paired with any other auxliary buff (like Radiance) allows it to get a ~0.5 second TTK, which needless to say is crazy. The self damage can even be offset with something like Healing Grenades or a Rift/Well if you're a Warlock. The Taken Blight will also one-shot high resilience Guardians if you're on the final round in the mag.
All in all, Touch of Malice is incredible, both in PvE and PvP. It boasts a beautiful stat package, amazing functionality as a ad-clear and big damage dealer, and can still hold its own in PvP. A 10/10 in my book, and a weapon that has made a permenant place in my inventory.
Oh and don’t use it in crucible. You’re better off running skyburners. The only benefit to malice in pvp is the 30% damage bump but with the gun kicking like a bull good luck hitting your shots, not to mention that the other perk is essentially useless. Stick with your crispy pali or austringer and put malice away.
TLDR ToM is fun for the first day or so until you get tired of having to worry about killing yourself
EDIT: Im aware of all the potential damage malice can output, but why wouldn't you just use your linear that will outdamage it in most damage phases. Besides once it gets fixed with div it will be even less useful
This gun is so immensely fun and satisfying to use in all game modes, and goes so hard with any element.
Its basically just old touch of malice with the ability to fart on enemies. It's a good weapon. Highly suggest it for both pvp and pve if you're good at playing your life. Though it is still a scout rifle, and the limitations are thusly so.
please try it with the new warlock gauntlets, brairbinds and use devour
you kinda have to have a specific build if you want the full power of this item (loreley's titan, wellock, shit like that)
it's still strong even without a specific build though
