Notes[]
Shadow Burst is an excellent skill to use throughout the game. While lunging you are invincible, which allows you to dodge attacks if timed right. Even at level 1 you can recover 10% of your health(5% per enemy) per casting, and due to the low mana requirements you can keep it up almost constantly. You should, however, use a few normal attacks between Shadow Bursts as this skill generates no charge.
