Consuming Darkness in Solo PvE?

Is there any decent use for Consuming Darkness in solo PvE combat? Is it only useful because the 70% snare gives you a chance to run away?

When morphed to veil of blades this becomes probably the most potent ability NB has in solo PvE, and even most other areas of the game.
The damage it ends up doing over 17 seconds is awesome first of all. Furthermore it's really the 60% damage mitigation you get while standing in the circle that makes this ability shine.
The slow is just added in, although that's not to say it's not useful. I find use for the slow quite often, come to think of it.
The other morph is a morph focused on healers in a group setting and therefore does no good in solo PvE, which is why I give it no more mention than this.Edited by Thejollygreenone on 11 July 2014 06:010 -
Brasseurfb16_ESO✭✭✭✭I use Consuming Darkness on my second ability bar, and I wish I took Veil of Blades. While the synergy heal is very potent, people I play with just tend to not use the synergy or stay in the circle for the dmg mitigation wich is quite unfortunate sinds it could have saved the life of many people if they had actualy used the synergy instead of running away...Edited by Brasseurfb16_ESO on 11 July 2014 22:501 -
shiva7663✭✭✭You know, I wasn't sure if there really was damage mitigation with this, as I usually die after a few seconds of popping the ultimate.0

✭✭✭✭✭I've found that it's best to take veil of blades for damage/soloing/aoe, and then soul siphon as the healing ultimate. I run destruction staff + restoration staff, so I keep one on each bar. Soul siphon seems to be a better heal to me than consuming darkness.PS4 / NA

✭✭I use it on my AE bar, its a very good ability. If you cast it at the start of a battle, after AEing with drain power(which generates tons of ultimate with passives), by the end, its already up again.
Taking 60% less damage is awesome.0
