General Shroud rules are:

  2. Auto Attack x 5

A Shroud on Greatsword should be slightly longer (add 1 or 2 Auto Attacks) to let your skills Cool Down.

Once the enemy reaches 50% Health, add s to pad time as necessary until is available.

Notes

Aim all your Elixirs primarily on yourself to maintain high Blight.

Cancel the lengthy aftercast of by immediately following up with either , , Weapon Swap, Weapon Stow, or .

's Auto Attack, , is a chain of two hits. Be careful not to cancel the second hit with other abilities, as that shortens Shroud, lowering your Blight and the number of procs.

Only use and if you have high Blight in general. If not, save it to build up the modifier. All Blight is lost upon Downing. To maximize your DPS, do not Down.
