Skill Variants

Utility

The utilities in this build are highly flexible, but you should aim to keep at least 1 stunbreak on your bar. Viable alternatives include:

• 鬼灵影步 - stunbreak with great kiting potential that could be immensely useful when it comes to shaking off enemies that are chasing you. The CD is rather long however, so we recommend taking a 2nd stunbreak too when playing this.

• 召唤血肉地虫 - another stunbreak and some vertical mobility. Being able to disengage to the highground can be invaluable for your survival sometimes.

• 黑暗法池 - pulsing AoE Blind for survivability and Chill to put pressure on enemies. Works well is just about any situation.

• 腐化法池 - unblockable AoE boon removal that could cover an entire capture point on some maps.

• 增益腐蚀 - great burst CD, especially useful against targets that rely on 稳固. Can be used both defensively and offensively.

Weapons

• Scepter over Pistol - an equally viable option with better teamfight potential. Scepter with 诅咒萦绕 on Curses is often used in organized 5v5s (tournaments), while the Pistol variant remains popular in ranked because it's easier to survive on it thanks to the extra CC/Weakness application. Of course Scepter can be extremely powerful in ranked too especially in teamfights with AoE boon removal traited, but it's a harder version of the build.

• Play either Dagger or Focus offhand instead Torch if you don't own the Secrets of the Obscure expansion, as Weaponmaster Training is necessary for the current set.

Equipment Variants

Amulets

• - better choice if the enemy team has more condi specs than power, due to the higher HP but lower toughness. Consider replacing with .

Sigils

• over - makes the stun from even longer when used on Staff.

Runes

• - offers more damage if you don't need the passive movement speed boost from Lynx.

Relics

There are plenty of viable options here, especially if you're playing a less shout-focused version of the build:

• - improves your healing reduction from and adds more sources to the build. Great at pressuring high sustain builds like supports.

• - adds burst damage to your elite skill by creating an AoE field beneath your target when used. Compared to Cerus it has the benefit of always spawning the pool under an enemy so you don't have to worry too much about positioning. The best thing about this relic isn't even the conditions but rather the strike damage it deals over just a few seconds. can make this proc stronger.

• - adds a strong offensive proc whenever you use an elite skill. Enemies under the eye can get hit multiple times, so the value of this relic goes up significantly if you can stun them right under the eye with .

• - restores half a dodge roll's worth of endurance whenever you heal, improving your survivability. It's like a second Energy sigil.

General

• applies , and Chill applies .

• Every shout skill inflicts via . Shout skills become more powerful in melee range.

• Use as often as possible, even out of combat. This is crucial for building Life Force (LF).

  • Start using this skill the moment the game starts, even before the gates open.

• and are 2 instant shout skills you can use even while stunned or casting other skills. This is important because with Suffer you could even transfer , effectively stunbreaking yourself while CC'ing others, and both skills can be used as fodder to quickly get rid of or . Let's say you were casting your elite but got blinded - Suffer can transfer the blind, while the other shout can be sacrificed to consume it (the shout will miss but your elite will land). Same goes for Aegis, altugh this time Suffer's also going to miss.

• When playing with Blood Magic, dodge rolling in combat creates a . The effects of this are negligible, the important part is that it can be used in a similar manner as the 2 shouts mentioned above - you can get rid of blind and Aegis just by dodging, and then immediately follow up with something without the fear or missing.

• On top of the and AoE stun also applies when it strikes an enemy target in melee range. Using this right before entering creates the perfect setup for your hard hitting shroud skills.

• 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's still going to finish, potentially baiting out dodges or other defensive CDs), and send it only on a CD of 5 seconds.

• Pistol version: Entering shroud procs , this is both defensive and offensive by nature. Being able to apply even when you're sitting in a CC could save your life, and instant offensive procs could effortlessly add extra pressure to your burst chains.
