Usage

General

• Keep using "Your Soul Is Mine!" even out of combat in order to build Life Force.
  • The moment the game starts you should already press it so you can start your first fight with enough LF to enter shroud.
  • In combat, thanks to Blood Bank you don't really get punished for using this skill earlier than usual. If you overheal, it gets converted into barrier.

• Blighter's Boon is an important part of your sustain, healing you and restoring Life Force whenever you gain or remove a boon.
  • You don't have to pay too much attention to this, most of it happens passively by building Might stacks through various trait procs like Siphoned Power or Awaken the Pain. Every single skill on your right side of the bar also fuels this trait, either by giving you boons or by corrupting them on enemies.

• Dread creates burst windows whenever you Fear an enemy, applying both Quickness and Fury as well as a damage increase.
  • The only 2 Fear sources by default are Terrify (chain skill of Shroud #3) and Devouring Visage on Sword #5, but you could also add Spectral Ring to your utilities.

• Signets have lifesteal as well as boon removal attached to them, this turns Plague Signet into an instant source of healing/damage/boon removal. The only other signet in the build is from a trait proc attached to your healing skill - a lesser Signet of the Locust procs whenever you cast "Your Soul Is Mine!", boosting the healing you receive by stealing health from nearby enemies.

• Plague Signet is a short cooldown stunbreak, a condi transfer, as well as an instant cast 1200 range no-projectile boon rip.
  • Since it's a stunbreak, you'll never be able to transfer Fear or Taunt with it, those get removed first.

• "Chilled to the Bone!" has a very distinct animation which makes it easy to avoid, if you feel like that's going to happen then stow your weapon to cancel the channeling. This is also great for fake casting - you can use the skill, cancel it immediately with weapon stow (the whole animation will still play, potentially baiting out dodges or other defensive CDs), and send it only on a CD of 5 seconds.

Spear

• Spear and shroud are your main sources of damage.

• Spear has it own unique mechanic: soul shards. Perforate (skill #2) spends them, skills 3-5 build them. The cap is 6 soul shards.

• Leaving shroud resets the CD of Spear's Isolate, and Isolate's chain skill Distress refreshes the CD of Perforate. This will always give you an option to do good followup bursts after leaving shroud, or to chase down targets (shroud already has good mobility, and you can teleport to targets struck by the ranged Isolate).

• Addle is a great setup skill, it gives you soul shards and Immobilizes enemies if you had enough soul shards.

• Extirpate is your other burst skill on this set along with Perforate. The good thing about Extirpate is that it's unconditional - unlike Perforate, it deals max damage even with 0 soul shards.
  • This has quite a huge cast time. Extirpate is often used from range - you throw an Isolate from a safe distance, precast Extirpate, then teleport to the target with Distress right before it hits.

Spear burst combo example

1. Throw Isolate at your target from a distance
2. Cast Extirpate
3. Teleport in with Distress just before Extirpate is about to go off
4. Addle for the Immobilize
5. Perforate for burst damage

Shroud

• Opening with Infusing Terror is very common, as it helps getting your damage off uninterrupted while the damage reduction helps you stay in shroud longer.
  • Terrify is the chain skill of this slot and an important trigger for Dread.

• Death's Charge should be used in the field created by Executioner's Scythe for the Frost Aura whenever possible, but you'll often end up using this before ES as a gapcloser.

• Soul Spiral should primarily be used on CC'd or downed targets (as Poison reduces the resurrection healing coming from their allies).

• Executioner's Scythe's a single target skill for the most part as it only stuns one target. Terrify can Fear targets long enough to prevent enemies from dodging this skill.

• Use autoattacks only when eveything else is on CD.

• Burst combo example: Death's Charge (gap closer with good impact damage) ⇒ Terrify ⇒ Executioner's Scythe ⇒ Soul Spiral

Mobility

• Death's Charge brings you to a halt when it ends. When you only care about mobility, you should cancel this skill by dropping out of shroud a split second before it completes its animation.

• Sword's Path of Gluttony is a two-parter. When PoG goes off you get to use Gorge for another leap - but this time you should cancel it by weapon swapping, if possible. If you're using this for mobility while out of combat, the self-damage part of this skill would actually put you in combat, which slows movement speed. We can prevent that by swapping weapons near the end.

• These skills are also leap finishers, you can use them inside Executioner's Scythe for Frost Aura.

Sustain

• Your condition cleansing is limited mostly to Plague Signet and Well of Power. Plague Signet can be dodged/blocked by opponents, which makes it less reliable than the Well but it can remove more conditions instantly.
  • Both of these are also stunbreaks. We recommend you almost always use "You Are All Weaklings!" as your first stunbreak option before resorting to these - against Power builds the Weakness will help you out beyond just breaking stuns, and against condition builds you get to hold onto your cleanses for the right moment instead of wasting them on a CC.

• Against power builds you could also commit "You Are All Weaklings!" purely for the Weakness while keeping the other 2 stunbreaks for CC.

• "Your Soul Is Mine!" can be used on CD without any major drawbacks. If you overheal, it gets converted into barrier. Both Relic of the Twin Generals and Malicious Swarm boost the effectiveness of your heal significantly, adding extra healing and even Weakness.

• Sometimes the best defense is a good offense - both weapon sets have skills with lifesteal, so you can keep healing while pressuring enemies.
