  .

General

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

• Abrasive Grit
  provides Might and cleanses a condition for any ally (yourself included) that you grant barrier to via any Scourge skills.

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

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

• Use
  Garish Pillar
  carefully but as often as possible. As a source of Fear it will CC and deal damage.

• Use
  Locust Swarm
  to rotate between points.

• Use
  Wail of Doom
  or
  Reaper's Mark
  to interrupt enemies that are blocking.

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