Skulk was essentially a button that could multiply the damage of your next attack by 3 to 6 times.
The easiest combo is Skulk into Bite since Bite is a Lycan attack, but essentially any crushing attack can work. Bite can be an AoE and is available to all Lycan builds, so most Lycan players typically use Bite as their follow up. Previously, combos with Lycan/Unarmed could potentially hit for over 25k to a single target.
Skulk's existence over the years has always baffled me. I assume that the original idea of the ability might have been to use it outside of combat and sneak up on enemies as a sort of "Stealth kill", but the lack of a cast time means it can just be used mid-combat as part of a combo.
