General

• Thanks to , your Fear effects deal damage. inflicts Torment to any foes you disable.

• provides Might and cleanses a condition for any ally (yourself included) that you grant barrier to via any Scourge skills. Thanks to , this triggers on you whenever you remove or corrupt a boon on an enemy (with a 1-second internal cooldown.)

• Always open with , even if you need to place it before combat, to benefit from and from the beginning of combat. Make sure there is always at least 1 shade active.#

• Try to proc off cooldown. This should be relatively easy to do, as you have many ways to disable opponents and many sources of Torment.

• Use carefully but as often as possible. As a source of Fear it will CC and deal damage, but it will also trigger for sustain and to rez allies (or at least save them from being stomped.)

• Do not cast unless you have excess Life Force and/or the rest of your Shade skills are on cooldown, as the others are much more important.

• Use to rotate between points. With and you can get permanent Swiftness.

• Switch to Warhorn and use to interrupt enemies that are blocking.

• can be used to safestomp enemies (thanks to the Stability) if you know you won't need it for combat soon.
