Tactical Information

Flurry of Words is a strong support ability. Healing Rune-keepers should make sure to use this skill as much as possible in order to buff their allies. Only one ally needs to apply Brittle Frost to the enemies, so Rune-keepers sometimes don't need to use this ability. It has a long induction, so it can be difficult to use while dealing damage.
