Soul Flay

[Viper]

Does it work on some more of the elite enemies..and what doe sit do exactly.I have not been using it. It seems to be slow and battles are usually pretty hectic.

It's great for CCing "elites" for a bit and for farming runes.

You can get good damage getting into the fight because you get wither damage if you attack the "soul".

or you can just push them of an edge and kill them directly.

[Penitence]

It works on every enemy, except Umbrals, and some bosses. Like explained in the tutorial it flays their soul so you can deal wither damage to them while they are in a staggered state. It's supposed to be slow, makes the hectic aspect no longer hectic. It's a complete game changer in difficulty if you choose to use it.

Fun fact. Knock a elite enemy to low health. Soul flay them, and make the last of their health wither. You now get a umbral execution on them that guarantees a rune of the enemy has a rune drop.

Speaking of runes, do you happen to know which drops the 'mana regen on shield' rune?

I'm not sure if thats dropped just yet. I only know of it as a single world pickup, and it might not appear on a loot table. Seems like the kinda rune that would be hard to get.

I say that, knowing full well that every one of the umbral giant head monsters drop the health regen ones, and thats equally(perhaps moreso) powerful. So I wouldnt be surprised if no one has figured it out just yet.
