Combat configuration
Skill notes
Open with Well of Gloom available, use Well of Sorrow for the group's immediate need, and reserve Shadow Shroud for the most dangerous raids pressure.
Hover the skill icons for complete Guild Wars 2 effect details.Combat execution
Apply Siphon to the ally or enemy that anchors the next exchange, then maintain barrier and boons through wells and shroud skills.
Enter Shadow Shroud before a predictable pressure event so its healing and barrier can cover the full window.
Keep one well or shadowstep for a revive, cleanse, or emergency reposition rather than using every cooldown for uptime.
