Usage

  • Always keep up Contagion, Dark Aura and Death Nova.
  • Destroy enemy shrines, focusing mainly on Quarries.
  • Use Putrid Bile on your target. Always cast on the center NPC of a quarry, which will always be a Mesmer.
  • Use Shadow Walk to shadowstep to your target.
  • Use Signet of Agony and Touch of Agony to trigger Dark Aura and eventually Death Nova.
  • Do not fear dying. You will be resurrected soon after and ready to nuke another shrine.
  • Use Dash to get to shrines faster.
  • It's amazing how often people just run past you if you don't attack them. Bombers are hopeless in 1v1 combat, just keep running toward your goal.

Counters

  • Massive enchantment removal.
  • Tactical snaring.
  • Well placed interrupts
  • A powerful healer (average healer in JQ will fail and then get killed by the new shrine NPCs).

Variants

<pvxbig>

  • Cover enchantment like [[Demonic Flesh@13] or [[Withering Aura@16].
  • [[Death's Charge@0] for a different shadow step skill.
  • Corpse exploitation skills.
