i agree. Tasca HM is the most effective way to get those sweet SSS & SWS and is quite easy with a vs dwarves or piercing tact shield since the biggest threat are those archers, cupcake+ alchool & dwarven stability( perma kd imunity) , Feigned Neutrality and dark escape are the only dmg reductions you need, right after you cast shadowform & shroud. Also slap one showstep on your skill bar , sometimes inevitabily you will get body blocked
.
So basically you want to always have up:
-Shadow form
-Shroud of distress
-Dwarven stability( anti kd) witj booze
-Dark escape or feigned neutrality ( never both in the same time unless is actually necesary)
-personaly as last skill i use Feel no Pain since im drunk anyway
As a A/W i meet the requirements on my tact shield vs dwarves for even more armor ( 16Ar +10 vs dwarves) since you only spend points in shadow Arts.
