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

-
腐化法池
-
夜幕降临
-
恐怖吐息
-
沙尘闪耀

As with wells, use
恐怖吐息 and 夜幕降临 on your commanders call- If you commander isn't calling them instead use them when the enemy group is pushing towards you or your group is in melee
-
沙尘闪耀 only removes boons in 240 radius, don't prioritize it over other skills and make sure your group is in melee if you're using it offensively

Use

威能 and 
激怒 it applies to allies, but be within 300 range of enemies when casting if possible to also strip boons

威力法池

All your Mark skills on Staff heal and give additional effects via
鲜血输送- Hit enemies with them when possible, but prioritize allies
- Use
鲜血印记 as often as possible for healing 
凛冬印记 is also for healing, but with a bigger heal and longer CD, so save it for when more healing is needed- 腐烂印记 should be saved for condition clear
- Save 夺魂印记 for 稳固 when it can't be covered by the main stability provider in your group
-
Your Shade skills proc on both your character's position and any
显形沙影 you have on the ground, always use 显形沙影 at least once before casting any Shade skill -
Focus on hitting your own group with
显形沙影, but hit enemies as well if they're close enough -
Save your final charge of
显形沙影 when there is 15 seconds or less left on 沙暴帷幕's cooldown -
Use
沙尘闪耀 and 
黄沙瀑布 as often as possible on pushes and during extended engages -
Barrier lasts 5 seconds after application before decaying
-
威力法池 is your most powerful condition clear skill use it any time your group is trading hits with the enemy in close range
-
Dodge Dodge whenever you have downtime and your Endurance would cap out to proc
闪避印记 and 河流古物
CC
CC Skill List
-
Use
黑暗抓攫 when:- Your group calls a spike such as Wells
- Your group is range spiking the enemy
- Enemy groups move defensively while your group is pushing
-
Do not use
黑暗抓攫 when:- Your group is pushing and the enemy group is pushing
- Your group is moving away from the enemy
- It would pull the enemy group out of your groups spike (except for range spikes)
-
You can use a Stow Weapon keybind halfway through the cast of
黑暗抓攫 and the pull will finish casting while you can immediately start casting other skills -
It is sometimes worth casting one
显形沙影 on the enemy group to land 
炫耀之柱 when your group is spiking, but generally save it for when both groups are clashing and you're already hitting allies and enemies with your Shade skills -
夺魂印记 should be saved to hit allies, but hit enemies as well when possible
