Shadow Knight(blade)

This is a 2h Shadow Knight build, first bar for single target DPS second bar for AoE DPS. Haven't had a chance to try it in game yet, and I am not sure if it will work as it is very magicka heavy but if you can focus on getting equipment that has reduced magicka cost and max magicka it seems like it would work. Especially as the single target bar has 2 dots and you should only try and keep the heal on swallow soul up (though you can use excess magicka on it for more damage).

Idea is basically for single target using 'Dark magic' abilities to place dots on the enemy while healing yourself (I know swallow soul isn't a dot but the heal is a hot so close enough), and popping haste and/or rally when you need extra basic attack damage as your basic attacks will be a fairly decent portion of your damage.

AoE is basically toss out shades, jump in with Lotus Fan on the back most one, activate drain power, turn and twisting paths, then use cleave/weapon attacks to finish off.

DW Burst/AoE

DW Build were first bar is for single target burst. Rotation would be Reapers Mark -> Ambush -> Shadowy Disguise -> Surprise Attack -> Rapid Strikes -> Basic Attacks. If it's a boss fight you would make sure to keep up Reaper's Mark, armor debuff from surprise attack, and use shadowy disguise when possible for a gauranteed crit after opening rotation, using ultimate whenever you have 275% ultimate.

AoE is second bar, basically you would toss out the terror trap as you run in to help CC enemies, then pop power extraction and twisting path, followed by ember explosion and whirling blades and then just alternate between twisting paths, ember explosion and whirling blades.
