How it Plays

Start with Puncture to make the monsters Vulnerable, then cast Twisting Blades to leave your blades in the target. Then alternate between Puncture and Twisting Blades while using Poison Imbuement on cooldown. Shadow Step is a great way to teleport into a new group of monsters and gain additional Damage reduction. Cast Dark Shroud on cooldown to maintain full stacks and maximum Damage Reduction.
