Tips
- Because they all inflict the same debuff,
Bleeding, the damage over time part of this spell does not stack with 
Aetherial Spark or 
Song of Torment.
- Nightbloom's potency is greater and its duration is longer than that of the other two spells.
- However, Nightbloom's 120-second recast timer and 60-second duration means the damage-over-time can at best have only 50% uptime. The other two spells have no such restriction, and can have their DoT active 100% of the time.
- Generally speaking: Use Nightbloom if its debuff is not already active. When the debuff wears off and the action is still on cooldown, apply a
Bristle-enhanced Song of Torment.
- While it shares a recast time with
Both Ends, this spell is almost always superior to it due to its higher overall potency. - Due to its high potency, it should be used under
Moon Flute, which will snapshot the buffed damage-over-time.
