• Shield Throw - ranged taunt which will heal you and apply the Major Maim debuff for 10 seconds, which decreases enemies' damage done by 10%
• Trample - a 1.5 second channel that will grant you Major Heroism for 10 seconds which translates to roughly 20 Ultimate per cast
• Stone Giant - provides around 4% damage increase when at full stacks. The initial cast is a 0.6 second channel so should be used with caution as you can't block during that time. It will also proc the Mountain’s Blessing passive, granting your entire group Minor Brutality which increases Weapon Damage by 10%.
• Soul Burst - 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
• Polar Wind - a very strong direct heal that also heals an ally and puts a 10 second HoT on yourself
• Temporal Guard - an ultimate we won't be using, but we'll keep slotted for the passive Minor Protection which reduces damage taken by 5%. It will also trigger the Concentrated Barrier passive.
• Expansive Frost Cloak - a source of crucial Major Resolve buff for your entire group, which increases armor by 5948, which is roughly 12% damage mitigation
• Wield Soul - 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 - a damage shield for yourself and your teammates that also provides 8% damage mitigation for 8 seconds and Minor Resolve for 22 seconds, increasing armor by 2974
• Glacial Colossus - an ultimate that applies Major Vulnerability in a large area for 19 seconds in total when you count all the slams

Soul Burst is the first skill that has to go when you need to slot something situational, unless the situational skill specifically says that it's replacing something else

• Igneous Shield - a damage shield for yourself and your teammates that also briefly grants you Major Mending which increases your healing by 16%. It's a replacement for Stone Giant in more difficult fights because it also procs the Mountain’s Blessing passive which grants your group Minor Brutality which increases Weapon Damage by 10%. Igneous Shield will also proc the Helping Hands passive which restores 1120 Stamina, which allows you to trade Magicka for Stamina by repeatedly casting Igneous Shield
• Inner Rage - a replacement for Shield Throw for easier fights. You're giving up the 10% damage reduction and the heal from Shield Throw but you're providing an extremely strong synergy for your group
• Revealing Flare - slot it for more difficult fights where you need more damage mitigation. It's a skill that passively grants Major Protection, reducing your damage taken by 10%. It will also trigger the Magicka Aid passive, which increases Magicka Recovery by 10%
• Immovable - use it in fights where you need lots of block mitigation or CC immunity
• Crushing Shock - use it in fights where you need to interrupt an enemy who's standing far away from you
• Shimmering Shield - use it in fights with dangerous projectiles
• Unnerving Boneyard - source of AoE Major Breach for trash fights or boss fights with lots of adds
• Pulsar - a skill that combined with 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
• Resolving Vigor - extremely strong HoT that can help you survive more difficult fights.
