When to use Dark Shot
Dark Shot is spammable filler — 40 power but only a 2-second cooldown, so it stacks well with longer-cooldown burst skills and chips down low-HP mobs while bigger hitters recharge. It also applies darkness, so leading the rotation with it locks the target before your bigger hitters land.
