Scholar version

The Scholar version of Ruin II is an instant cast spell separate from its main damage spells. While weaker than other spells in the Scholar's arsenal, even the baseline Ruin, its lack of a cast time or long cooldown allows players to continue dealing damage while moving. If movement is not required, stronger spells such as Ruin are preferred. As an instant cast spell that activates the global cooldown (GCD), Ruin II can be used to weave abilities that are off the global cooldown (oGCD), such as Whispering Dawn, in between spellcasts.
