Ghost BindGhost Bind is the best CC skill for this build because it lets you group enemies together so you can easily use your Sober SorrowSober Sorrow & Sweep AllSweep All combo. Wolflike FrenzyWolflike Frenzy, Free MorphFree Morph, and Drunken PoetDrunken Poet are great single-target damage skills and feel very satisfying to use with Drunken PoetDrunken Poet being an ability you can use on its own with how much damage it can do if recasted.

Yaksha RushYaksha Rush & Free MorphFree Morph are your main tools for knocking enemies into the air so you can follow up with Peak's Springless SilencePeak's Springless Silence or any airborne attack once they’re lifted.

Naturally, Yaksha RushYaksha Rush is a core part of the build since it helps you keep enemies airborne, and Celestial SeizeCelestial Seize is very strong in certain fights, especially against bosses that can be disarmed by it.
