One powerful ability you can choose is Blood Hunt, which lets you consume corpses to gain more damage and protection against monsters that share a creature type with the corpse. The Breaker of Oaths can sell you additional corpses of exotic types, and these can also be used as powerful spectres.

(Ravenous consumes a targeted corpse, granting you a buff that causes you to deal more damage to, and take less damage from, enemies of the same Monster Category as the corpse)
One powerful ability you can choose is Blood Hunt, which grants an active skill called Ravenous skill. This skill lets you see what type a monster is under its life bar, wheter it is a Demon, Beast, Undead, Construct, or Humanoid. Consuming a corpse with this skill gives a buff to damage against that type of monster, and reduces damage taken by it.
You can only have one type active at a time, so it's a good idea to choose wisely for the area that you are in.
Some bosses like the Maven are Eldritch in nature and don't conform to the regular corpses that you have access to, but don't worry. The Breaker of Oaths has a shop where you can trade Wild Wisps for corpses that you can place on the ground where you are. Buy an Eldritch corpse and you will be able to get the bonus while fightning Eldritch entities like the Maven. You may notice that most of the corpses he sells are not monsters you normally encounter. You might want to try turning some of these corpses into spectres, to take advantage of some of the unique abilities that these monsters have.
The buff does not persist between areas or through death. The intention is for you to pick a monster type based on the zone you're in, whether that map primarily consists of a particular monster type. Purchasable corpses can be used in cases where you need the bonus for a particular reason, such as fighting a boss.
Blood Hunt is a Warlock of the Mists ascendancy skill.
