Umbrella scripts for Shadow Fiend
The main goal is to automate farm and focus in a fight. Umbrella scripts bind complex chains to one key, lead by target coordinates, and cast finishers the moment a kill is guaranteed. All 11 scripts are included in every plan.
Update — September 15, 2026: Refresher is not wasted if Requiem comes off cooldown while it is being used. Fixed: Mask of Madness turned on too early and broke the combo, and the Shadowraze indicator was drawn on death. Full change list.
