Curated for raid DPS — Voidform aligned with Bloodlust, Power Infusion timed to your own burst or assigned to a priority DPS, and sustained DoT uptime between cooldown windows. Reviewed 28 Jun 2026.
Best sustained single-target raid pick. Entropic Rift maintains consistent DPS between Voidform windows, which is the primary weakness of Shadow on long fights.
Alternate on fights with predictable burst damage phases where Perfected Form can be aligned with the damage window — similar logic to stacking Recklessness with Avatar for Fury Warrior.
