• 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
• Siphoning Attacks - this ability will passively heal you, improve your sustain, and you can use it to trade 4000 Health for 2600 Stamina and Magicka, which will also trigger the Transfer passive, granting you 2 Ultimate.
• 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
• Regenerative Ward - a damage shield equal to 34.1% of your Max Health that also heals you for 5.2% your Max Health. It will also grant you and allies within 20 meters Minor Endurance and Intellect, increasing Stamina and Magicka recoveries by 15%.
• Gibbering Shelter - emergency ultimate that puts a massive damage shield on you and periodically applies damage shields to your allies when you take damage. Having it slotted also passively grants 81 Stamina and Magicka recoveries from Wellspring of the Abyss
• Cruxweaver Armor - your source of crucial Major Resolve buff, which also applies Minor Breach to attackers and generate Crux, though you have no way of spending it without slotting some situational skills. You can replace it with one of situational skills if you have a reliable Main Tank using the Expansive Frost Cloak skill.
• 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
• Runeguard of Still Waters - an ability that places a delayed heal on you which triggers when you take damage below 50% HP. It also grants Minor Resolve to you and allies around you, which increases armor by 2974. It also grants you Minor Protection which is removed when the heal effect procs. It also snares enemies around you when cast
• Summon Charged Atronach - an ultimate that provides a synergy that provides the Major Berserk buff for your entire team for 10 seconds, which increases damage done by 10%.

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. If the Main Tank provides you with Major Resolve from their Expansive Frost Cloak, your Cruxweaver Armor becomes the first skill to replace instead of Soul Burst

• 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
• Impervious Runeward - use it in fights with lots of Damage over Time
• Razor Caltrops - source of AoE Major Breach for trash fights or boss fights with lots of adds
• Rune of the Colorless Pool - an ability that applies Minor Vulnerability and Minor Brittle for 20 seconds which makes keeping up these debuffs very easy
• 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.
