Dark Shroud is an upgrade to Dark Shroud, a Rogue skill from the Subterfuge Skill Tree. For full information on this skill visit the Dark Shroud page.

'Creates Condition' means this skill creates this condition i.e it could make a target Vulnerable that other skills can take advantage of. 'Exploits Condition' means this skill takes advantage of a condition, not necessarily of its own making. So for example another skill might Stun and this skill could take advantage of that.
