Skill Variants
Healing
Utility
- If CC is needed, replace
召唤影魔 or 
怨恨纹章 with 
鬼灵缚爪. - If you don't like using summons, replace 召唤影魔 with
"弱者退散！" and use it off cooldown. If your Life Force management is good, then this can even be a DPS increase. - As you get more comfortable with the build, replace 召唤影魔 and 怨恨纹章 with
苦难法池 and 
黑暗法池. Use these wells instead of 
鬼影降临 in the rotation.
Elite
"严寒刺骨！" - if area CC is needed.

Usage
Rotation
The logic behind this rotation is to maximise 
灵魂倒钩 uptime by entering shroud as often as is possible, while trying to time 
夜幕降临 with 
夺魂之幕 so that the pulsing effects benefit from the extra ferocity from 
夺魂灭屠 and extra critical damage from 
致命洞察. Downtime is simply filled with auto attacks.
The buff from 
烟花古物 is maintained for as long as possible by spacing out 夜幕降临 and 
灵魂漩涡.
Activate 
惊惧魔甲 at any time while in shroud to reduce incoming damage.
Summon both minions 召唤影魔 and 
召唤血肉魔像 before the encounter starts.
Opener
- 夜幕降临 - this triggers 烟花古物 on each pulse, making the buff last for 12 seconds.
- 鬼影降临 - can be skipped if there are other sources of Chill Chill.
