Clear nearby Deadheads before taking a long exchange with Graves, and go around Grasping Hands’ rift. Take cover when Essence Theft weakens your weapon damage and Spirit resistance. Hit the enemy with Alchemical Flask before applying Binding Word so the slow makes leaving its area harder. Keep Willpower available for your own protection and movement.
Clear summons threatening your Walker before chasing Graves. Destroy Borrowed Decree’s gravestone with two heavy melees when your team can protect you.
From outside Grasping Hands, take a clean shot with Binding Word on Graves as soon as it's exposed — don't wait for every summon to appear. Use Alchemical Flask either on Graves or to clear the threatening Deadheads, whichever the positioning calls for. Use Willpower on yourself into Last Stand only when there's a safe fight to be had outside the rift.
