Usage[]
- Maintain Dwarven Stability and Pious Haste (always activate Zealous Renewal right before Pious Haste for better mobility).
- Use IAU as your anti-kd/cripple.
- Shadow step whenever your steps are recharged.
- Use Shadow Form right before aggroing/being struck by spells.
- Heart of Shadow for healing and speed. Note: only use it on targets behind you, as this will make the skill teleport you forward.
- Optionally, drink alcohol to prevent knockdowns all the time with Dwarven Stability.
Counters[]
- Cripple if "I am Unstoppable!" is recharging (Avoid Pinesoul traps)
- Rubberbanding/lag
- Body blocking (Use shadowsteps to avoid)
- Shadow Form ending with spell casting enemies around you. Avoid aggroing mobs with Hexes if shadow form is running out/recharging.
