Usage

General

• Blood Bank is an incredible increase to survivability and allows aggressive and rewarding gameplay in a group setting.
• Engage with Scetper for Devouring Darkness before swapping to axe and using Unholy Feast. The main part of your rotation is using these skills off cooldown before swapping weapons and as you enter them, usually casting each twice when weapon swapping off cooldown.
• Try not to spend too long in shroud, as you still want to weapon swap off cooldown for your high value weapon skills, instead using shroud as a third weapon set to get off high burst damage between important weapon skill usage.
• Use Reaper's Shroud when in melee range for high burst damage
  • Soul Spiral for high burst AoE damage
  • Death's Charge for single target burst and boon removal
  • Infusing Terror is a free cast whenever entering shroud, and it is normally higher value to maintain it than to cast the flip skill.
