Do shroud-related traits work for scourge?

Hi everyone,I can't figure out how do shroud-related traits work if I play scourge. For example, Reaper's Might ("Shroud skill 1 grants might"), Plague Sending ("Your first attack after entering shroud transfers conditions"), Transfusion ("Shroud skill 4 heals and partially revives nearby allies ...") and a lot of other traits. Do they even work? Or should I better not select these traits, because they provide no effects at all (since I don't have shroud)?Could anyone please explain that?

They all do work

Reaper's Might I am not sure exactly how it works but I think it procs whenever you use a shade skill and place down a shade

Plague sending works when you use desert shroud

Transfusion works on your f4 and proc 9? times with each pulse healing and pulling allies

And what about traits that regenerate health while in shroud or do something when I enter it? Do they work only for a few seconds when I use Desert Shroud?

Yes. The "in shroud" traits are fairly terrible on Scourge with exception of Signets of Suffering because you only have 6 seconds at a time where they're working. Unholy Sanctuary in particular should be avoided because it requires you to have 25% life force to even activate on Scourge!

Signets of Suffering only gets a pass because each time you activate Desert Shroud, that's 24% cooldown reduction, which is better than the normal cooldown reduction traits.
