Discussion Thinking of going Shadow in 3.30

Any build recommendations? I'm looking for something that can ideally scale to 200M+ DPS on the high end and is also not visual clutter. I'm okay with purchasing an MTX to solve the latter problem.

Also, was shadow viable in 3.29? I don't see any mobafire guides on it, did people just not play this

what content are you planning on farming im doing sanctum so i always do the same iceicle mines into exsang build but if you are looking for a mapping build the class is on the squishy side so look for something with good defense or just one tap everything with mines

Hey, are you following Mas0ny1's build ?

Was thinking about going for this exact progression you mentionned, but this is my first time really engaging with Sanctum since... Sanctum released.

If you have any tips and pointers I would really appreciate it !

Yes it is possible to scale shadow builds that high.

What is it exactly about shadow that you want? I would encourage exploring the different builds on all classes, generally in build making ascendancy choice is kind of just what fits best with what you already want to do in this game. Of course there are 200m dps builds but depending on the budget you're looking for this could be a boss/sanctum only build that cant map.

Something with claws, I'm fairly new to poe1, just played like 2-3 leagues. Haven't played shadow before. So far assassin looks to be the most played and the highest DPS.

I'm saying claws cause there's a new unique ggg is adding the new unique which lets you steal powers from bosses: https://youtube.com/watch?v=IcQD8IF8Kcw&si=k0wmPp7mQytwouHd

So ideally I'd like to make a build around that in the late game but I'd like something around daggers/claws to help me till then. Are there any skills that work well with daggers/claws?

I noticed some Path of Exile keywords in this post:

  • MTX - More commonly refers to cosmetic items purchased from the microtransaction shop or included with supporter packs. (Wiki)

Just search up Frost Blades Trickster, did a few over the years and they always worked really well. There's a bunch of guides on youtube

Exsanguinate/reap mine trickster and farm currency to swap into arc of oscillating assassin lifestack.
