SotD is still extremely useful when playing solo.

That said, Despoil+Power Efficiency is more useful for survivability than Shield of Shadows is. When the ability costs 12 health to cast and basically gives you 2-3 health orbs every time you cast it, it's actually a potent healing ability.

And if you forma him a D polarity for his Aura slot...Regeneration and you can cast Despoil for FREE every 3 seconds. That's not nothing.

Not saying Shadows isn't good. It is very good as a DPS boost in any mode where you're staying put. But honestly you're better off with a range build and stick with Despoil for survivability. Then use Terrify if you get overwhelmed.
