Play Style
Activate Fade for damage reduction, Venom for poison damage. Teleport into targets, spam Dragon Talon — each use kicks multiple times with Crushing Blow. Dracul's Grasp procs Life Tap for sustainability. Place Death Sentries for AoE corpse explosion.
Mercenary
Act 2 Offensive (Might) for damage. Not critical for Uber Tristram (merc dies). For general farming, Insight + Treachery.
