Usage Strategies

It's a wonderful skill to keep up at all times. Severely reduces the physical damage the High Elf receives and can be modded to avoid detection by monsters, thus walking around them and picking them off at will. However, one should exercise serious caution against monsters and bosses with fire-based attack, as it will inflict additional damage because of the penalty that is coming with Cascading Shroud.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Great physical damage mitigation
  • Flexible - can be modded for evasion or further reduction of physical damage
  • Makes you hard to detect by monsters with the proper mod
  • Can be used for a speed boost or to run away from a difficult situation with the proper mod

Cons

  • One should exercise extreme caution around monsters and bosses with fire-based attack
  • It has a limited duration
