Shadowflare and Sacred Soil can't be up at the same time if cast by the same SCH. Limit on ground based effects or some nonsense, but casting one will immediately end the other.

Sacred Soil is just 10% damage reduction for 15s (30s cooldown) and does no damage. Shadowflare does damage for 30s (possibly cleric stanced - believe it's 250 potency over the entire duration), which is useful for a speedrun, and all but guarantees Slow (20% slower auto attacks/casts, I think) on anything standing in it that isn't immune. The slow lasts until Shadowflare goes away (slow debuff doesn't have a timer), so no diminishing returns to worry about either unlike Lethargy or Feint.

Soil also costs an Aetherflow charge, which is one less Lustrate (or maybe two!) that's available per minute. When it works (aka, applies Slow), Shadowflare wins by a mile.
