Guild Wars 2

Basically this is how I use the staff, 1st skill is for filler while I wait on CD or to pop some combo fields. 2nd skill I try and get to pop around melee allies to grant regeneration (you may want to use it more for its bleed being a condition focused build). 3rd skill Is a 2 part, 1st part helps for kiting if you get aggro or to help someone else kite 2nd part is a combo field poison (again you will want to use it more for this). 4th skill is mostly a support skill, the blast finisher is a nice bonus and some people use it for just the blast but its second power to transfer all conditions from allies in the radius to enemies in the radius is huge, it really helps to use this in dungeons and events around the melee focused fighters. Finally the 5th skill is a low damage low duration AoE fear. I like to drop the fear mark near npc’s that need to be kept safe while they work on things or to quickly make space between a downed ally and mobs or even between me and a group of guys.

A couple of cool tricks you can pull using just Death Shroud and Marks is plant all 4 marks at your feet pull a group of guys to you and pop DS and use Life Transfer(skill4) and watch as things around you die while you are mostly safe. Another one is to start with the staff use the 3rd and 2nd skill to pull a group and swap to your S/D using the 5th dagger skill 2nd scepter skill into DS for Life Transfer and again enjoy watching as mobs melt around you.
