Shadowknight - Which abilities do I ACTUALLY need?

    Hey guys,

    The title says it all. As a SK, newly returning player who has hit 100, which abilities do I actually use? Between all the expansions and core abilities, I have a TON of buttons on my hotbars.

    • Which abilities should I focus on when fulfilling a DPS role?
    • Which abilities should I focus on when Tanking?
    • Is there a set rotation for DPS?
    • Is there a set rotation for Tanking?
    I've seen 3-4yr old threads surrounding this question but I'm looking for a fresh perspective so I can clean up / prune down my hotbars. And since most of the posts say, "look at my profile", and each profile seems very old or rather different, I'm left scratching my head as to what/who I should actually be following.

    I'd be looking for this same information for other classes as well, as I start to level them, so if anyone has some current resources for advice on AA's, abilities, rotations, I'd really appreciate it.

    Thanks!

    Well you can make the best AA spec on your own. I always loved running right side prestige, popping Reaper Mist then bursting out 10 AoEs in a single second. Very simple guide incoming.

    Cast unholy blessing when its up. Prioritize taunts, every other offensive skill is filler. Right side prestige is fun. That's all I remember from when my little ogre was an SK
