General
-
Your main job is to dish out big AoE damage while corrupting boons for even more. As such, watch your target's boons and try not to waste your attacks on boonless foes.
-
沙砾碾磨 grants 
威能 and cleanses a condition on any ally (including yourself) that you grant barrier to via Scourge skills and traits. 
腐化喂养 triggers this, so one of your main sources of sustain, 威能, and cleanse is corrupting or removing boons from enemies. -
努里斯古物 and 
寄生蔓延 provide additional passive sustain through your damage. Play aggressively but position carefully, as you cannot reposition as easily as some builds can. -
Always open with
显形沙影, even if you need to place it before combat, to benefit from 
黄沙贤者 and 
如沙之血 from the beginning of combat. Make sure there is always at least 1 shade active. -
Use
炫耀之柱 carefully but as often as possible. As a source of 
恐惧 it will CC and deal damage. -
Scepter skills (including the auto attack chain) are not projectiles and can be used to play around projectile denial (such as
磁力光环).
