So, I know that Miasma Armor increases speed, allows certain skills to be used, and enables the secondary effects of other scythe skills, but what I am not certain of, is the behavior of the 2 passive skills that can activate Miasma Armor without you casting it.
These are Auto-Miasma, and Endless Shroud.
I have 2 questions in regards to their behavior:
1. What is the level of the Miasma Armor that triggers from the passive skills? Do these skills activate Miasma Armor at the current level of your Miasma Armor skill, is the resulting Miasma Armor's level based off the level of the skill that automatically activated it, is it fixed to some level, or is it some other factor?
2. Can Endless Shroud activate when you already have Miasma Armor up, increasing your turn limit until it fades?
The first question will determine whether or not it's worth it to max out Miasma Armor, or just leave it at 2 for filling prerequisite requirements. The second question will determine how valuable Endless Shroud is for Deathbringers (Black Blade, Black Shroud).

The possibilities of the past and future are as various as our imaginations. How far we can think, and what we can think of, is dependent on each of us, and what we believe in.

Re: Miasma Armor Behavior?
It is your current level of Miasma Armor (do note that you do not lose health/mana through Auto-Miasma activation), so maxing out Miasma Armor is worth because of turn speed increasing with the skill level.
And yes, Endless Shroud can proc while you still have Miasma Armor active and increases the duration.
I don't think Endless Shroud is that valuable for Deathbringers, as you will rarely use the debuff skills with them. It is extremely strong on Deathguards on the other hand.
At max level, the proc rate is only 66%, so it is not a guaranteed refresh of Miasma Armor.

Re: Automatic Miasma Armor behavior?
Excellent, thank you very much! I was thinking that Endless Shroud is better, simply so they can debuff FOEs/Bosses and extend the Miasma Armor duration at the same time, because Black Blade and Black Shroud bonuses are lost the moment Miasma Armor fades. Maybe not AS important for Deathbringers as it is for Deathguards, but it still has its uses. As for success or failure of activating when you need it to, that is a calculated risk.
