• Vibrant Shroud - heals you and allies in front of you, grants Minor Vitality for 10 seconds and applies Major Maim to enemies for 10 seconds
• Soul Burst ( Damage Shield , Anchorite's Potency , Courage ) - a damage shield for yourself and your teammates that consumes a Soul Gem to grant 3 Ultimate to you and your teammates up to once every 5 seconds. It also grants everyone Minor Courage for 20 seconds, increasing Weapon and Spell Damage by 215
• Bound Aegis - grants Minor Protection and Minor Resolve while slotted, and casting it increases your block mitigation by 50%
• Hardened Ward - a damage shield for 6 seconds that scales off your Max Health
• Reviving Barrier - an Ultimate that grants you and your allies a massive shield and applies a HoT. Use it when your group needs help with survival. Slotted on front bar for the Magicka Aid passive which grants 10% Magicka Recovery
• Boundless Storm - grants Major Resolve for 30 seconds and Major Expedition for 4 seconds on cast
• Wield Soul ( Pull , Druid's Resurgence , Cowardice ) - a chain ability for stacking smaller adds that also restores 600 Stamina. It should also be used on unchainable enemies to apply the Major Cowardice debuff which reduces enemies' Weapon and Spell Damage by 430
• Elemental Susceptibility - a free ability that applies the crucial Major Breach debuff which reduces enemies' armor by 5948 and applies Burning , Concussed and Chilled status effects every 7.5 seconds. Concussed applies Minor Vulnerability for 4 seconds which increases enemies' damage taken by 5% and can trigger Off Balance when paired with Lightning Elemental Blockade from your Healer. Chilled applies Minor Maim for 4 seconds which reduces enemies' damage done by 5%. If you were holding an Ice Staff at the moment Chilled procced, it will also apply Minor Brittle for 4 seconds which increases enemies' Critical Damage taken by 10%
• Elemental Blockade - this ability will constantly apply the enchant of your backbar weapon, which in our case will be Crusher . It will also apply Minor Breach debuff to enemies who are Chilled which reduces enemies' armor by 2974, and they'll always be Chilled thanks to Elemental Susceptibility . It will also grant projectile-only damage shields to you and your teammates
• Ulfsild's Contingency ( Damage Shield , Gladiator's Tenacity , Intellect and Endurance ) - a damage shield for yourself and your teammates that also provides 8% damage mitigation for 8 seconds, Minor Intellect and Minor Endurance for 22 seconds
• Summon Charged Atronach - an Ultimate that provides a synergy that gives your entire team Major Berserk for 10 seconds, increasing damage done by 10%

If you need to slot something situational, replace Ulfsild's Contingency first, then Soul Burst if someone else provides Minor Courage . You can also replace Bound Aegis if you replace Intellect and Endurance on Ulfsild's Contingency with Resolve and Reviving Barrier with Temporal Guard . Replace Boundless Storm if a Warden uses Expansive Frost Cloak

• Ball of Lightning - an ability that teleports you forward. Use it in fights where you need more mobility or in fights where this teleport allows you to invalidate some mechanic
• Exhilarating Drain - a 3 second channel that generates 20 Ultimate over its duration
• Trample ( Magic , Assassin's Misery , Heroism ) - replaces Exhilarating Drain if you aren't a Vampire, or if you don't have a Warden Healer or Tank providing Major Heroism with Bountiful Harvest . It grants you Major Heroism for 10 seconds, which is roughly 20 Ultimate per cast
• Inner Rage - a replacement for Shield Throw for easier fights. You're giving up Major Vitality and the heal from Shield Throw but you're providing an extremely strong synergy for your group. Also your default taunt when running double Ice Staff setup. It can also be used if you're struggling with Stamina, as it costs Magicka unlike Shield Throw
• Revealing Flare - slot it for more difficult fights where you need more damage mitigation. It passively grants Major Protection , reducing your damage taken by 10%. It will also trigger the Magicka Aid passive, which increases Magicka Recovery by 10%
• Temporal Guard - can be frontbarred for passive Minor Protection when you unslot Bound Aegis
• Resolving Vigor - extremely strong HoT that can help you survive more difficult fights, which also provides Minor Resolve . It can be used to proc Powerful Assault set
• Echoing Vigor - alternative to Resolving Vigor which heals for a similar amount but over 16 seconds instead of 5. It now heals 6 allies (including you) instead of just you and doesn't provide Minor Resolve anymore. Use it to help your teammates survive in fights which are easy for you to survive. It can be used to proc Powerful Assault set
• Defensive Stance - an ability which grants you a damage shield and allows you to reflect the next projectile within 6 seconds. It also passively reduces your block cost and increases block mitigation by 10%. Use it in fights where you're blocking a lot or in fights where you can do a lot of damage by reflecting projectiles
• Crushing Shock - use it in fights where you need to interrupt an enemy who's standing far away from you
• Razor Caltrops - source of AoE Major Breach for trash fights or boss fights with lots of adds
• Pulsar - a skill that combined with a Charged Ice Staff provides almost guaranteed AoE Chilled procs. Use it in trash packs
• Charging Maneuver - provides your entire group with a total of 45% bonus movement speed. Very useful in trash packs, but it consumes a lot of Stamina
• Power Bash - a skill for proccing the Void Bash item set if you're switching to that in trash packs
