- Vital Boon, Sliver Armor, and Grasping Earth are good variants.
- Fire Storm can be used to pull the monks in the mobs up to you.
- Pious Concentration, although risky, is a surefire way to get off your Glyph of Concentration in Ravenheart Gloom. Additional cover enchantments from the monk and a cancel stance such as Conviction are required to use this skill.
- Signet of Pious Light can be using for losing Mirage Cloak for dealing small damage and selfheal.
