Part 2 of 4

1. Dual-Wield Action Bar — I have a way I typically set up all my Action Bars for all characters when I can. It makes it easier to switch between them:

• 1 — Heal or short-term buff

• 2 — Closer (if any) or DPS skill

• 3 — AoE DPS or General DPS

• 4 — AoE DPS, Execute or Finisher

• 5 — Long-term buff (like 2H Momentum) or Toggle-buff (like Magelight)

So, for the DW build, I would go this way:

• 1 — Swallow Soul (Strive) — You probably will not need to deliberately self-heal very much because things will be dying quickly and you will obtain decent heals from Blood Craze. However, it's here if you need it. Plus, it helps the Siphoning skill line level up.

• 1 — Evil Hunter (Expert Hunter) — This is an alternative from the Fighters Guild skill line that you can use instead of Swallow Soul. (see below)

• 2 — Ambush (Teleport Strike) — Ambush now uses Stamina, making it the obvious choice.

• 3 — Blood Craze (Twin Slashes) — A DoT with accompanying HoT? Yes, please. Firing this off on the mob to which you teleported will be instinctual but unnecessary. However, once that first mob quickly dies, this is the first thing that should go onto the second mob and even the third if you want that level of micro-play and continual passive self-heals.

• 4 — Rapid Strikes (Flurry) or Steel Tornado (Whirlwind) — Yes, you can swap spells after every pull if you want. If you tire of that, you can move one of these to 5 instead of putting Dark Cloak there. I often play that way instead, relegating Shadow spells to my Bow Action Bar to "off" level the skill line or perhaps using Consuming Darkness as my Ultimate, again, just to make sure the Shadow skill line keeps leveling with me.

• 5 — Dark Cloak (Shadow Cloak) — this is mostly a filler to make sure that the Shadow skill line keeps leveling as you do. It can help in some nasty situations since it will drop any debuffs and hopefully allow you to sneak away, Magicka permitting.

• Ultimate — Single Target: Soul Harvest (Death Stroke). 3 or more targets: Soul Shred (Soul Tether). If you just want one on there, without having to swap around, just go Soul Shred. It takes longer to build up, but is useful in any type of fight and eliminates the need to keep swapping.
