Variants
If going to AB/CM switch out the Resurrection Signet for Impale to deliver a deepwound.
Replacing Shadowy Burden+ Death's Charge with Dark Prison and putting either Impale or Expose Defenses.
The main 2 skils that can be swaped out here are Death's Charge and Tiger Stance and could be replaced with one of these:
- Expose Defenses for a cover hex and to make shure your attacks can't be blocked.
- Feigned Neutrality or Heart of Shadow for a self heal.
- You could also get monk as secondary to get Restful Breeze.
- Shroud of Distress for a long lasting chance to block if they get your health below 50%.
- Mark of Instability for a KD.
- Mending Touch for a good condition remover without any points in protection prayers.
- Disrupting Dagger for an interupt.
- Dark Escape or Dash for a speed boost.
Notes
Also, if you see that your foe still has some important enchantments on them, you could wait for about 1-2 sec after Black Spider Strike to use Shattering Assault again to remove them and still do massive damage.
