Detailed Explanations
Wells
- Save your
腐化法池 for the commanders call
- If you aren't using voice communication, use your wells at the same time as the other Necromancers in your group
- When using pulsing ground AoEs like 腐化法池, try to place them so that one edge is on the enemy group and the other edge is in the direction they are moving to
Boon rip
- Cast
吞噬黑暗 as often as possible - Use
恐怖吐息 and 
夜幕降临 when the enemy group is pushing towards you or your group is in melee - Always save a charge of
显形沙影 for 
沙暴帷幕, there is a 3s delay so try to predict enemy movement
- Hit allies as well if possible for Barrier
- 沙尘闪耀 removes boons, but should be prioritized on allies
- Try to hit both allies and enemies as much as possible
Support
- Use 沙尘闪耀 and
黄沙瀑布 as often as possible on pushes and during extended engages - Make sure to use 显形沙影 on your group before casting
邪恶恩惠, 沙尘闪耀 or 黄沙瀑布
- Pay attention to allies with
生命幻象 used on them, apply barrier before the buff times out
- 生命幻象 begins flashing on the buff bar at 5 seconds remaining
- Barrier lasts 5 seconds after application before decaying
CC
- Use
黑暗抓攫 at range or when the enemy group is moving away, never while the enemy is crossing or pushing into yours - 黑暗抓攫 can be canceled with a Stow Weapon keybind after ~0.25s into the cast and will still finish casting
Damage
- Cast
腐蚀毒云 as often as possible - Camp Scepter/Torch, only swap to Greatsword when there is an opportunity for a useful cast of 黑暗抓攫 or 夜幕降临
- Make sure
恶疾肆虐 targets don't have 
抗性 - 恶疾肆虐 can be targeted on downed players, ranger pets and NPCs such as objective lords to make it more reliable
