Blood Mist is a defensive and offensive skill for us. We want to live in this skill as it will deal shadow damage, deploy corpses and detonate them.
Corpse Explosion with blighted will DoT everything, giving us fast procs of shadow blight and stack very high damage on single targets.
Corpse Tendrils groups enemies for efficient killing with our corpse explosions/barber explosions + will make enemies vulnerable for us.
Bone Storm will be up pretty much 80% of the time on this build. It will deal shadow damage, give us barrier and has a very high lucky hit to give us our cooldowns back.
Reap will spawn corpses for us.
Golem will absorb a lot of damage for us with its absorb passive basically double dipping damage reduction for us.
