  1. 01SetupPrepare group coverage

    Apply Siphon to the ally or enemy that anchors the next exchange, then maintain barrier and boons through wells and shroud skills.

    Well of Gloom›Well of Sorrow›Shadow Shroud    Watch for forced movement
  2. 02CommitStabilize the pressure window

    Enter Shadow Shroud before a predictable pressure event so its healing and barrier can cover the full window.

    Well of Sorrow›Shadow Shroud›Specter skill 4    Commit only on a stable boss
  3. 03ResetHold the recovery tool

    Keep one well or shadowstep for a revive, cleanse, or emergency reposition rather than using every cooldown for uptime.

    Shadow Shroud›Specter skill 4›Specter skill 5    Keep an answer for pressure
