Tactical Information

Shadow's Lament is the Captain's strongest immediate damage skill, and should be used nearly off cooldown. When traited, it additionally spreads the Grave Wound bleed, so Grave Wound should be used before this skill in AoE situations. The cooldown of this skill is the same as Inspire (Blade-brother), so these 2 skills are commonly used together.
