Have you guys had any problems with lacking strength? I'm currently at the beginning of cruel(lvl 44) and I think my red gems will be taking a break from leveling due to lack of strength.

nope, look at my shadow on my profile.

got 100k dps tolltip with PC/FC

the only weakness of this build is the tankiness, it's hard to kill flicker strike bosses (gorge map ex)

but you can do near any map mods

(can't drop better map than lvl 77 though but i still manage to kill a double volcano boss with added 3 proj)

Oh, I mean the actual strength stat haha. Anyways, I kinda solved my problem by just going straight for the strength nodes and my current belt has str in it too so that should last me for a few levels.

Flicker strike bosses are annoying in general.

This is my first shadow by the way and I'm really loving the damage output of this build. What stats did you prioritize when you were upgrading your rings? Thanks in advanced. :)

Here's my current gear atm

Well just an update on my progress. Op doesnt seem to be replying to any of the posts :(.

Ive got 4k hp. 1,4k Es, capped res, Ek tool tip is 8.5k and with buffs its around 13k. I dont really understand how your all getting around 70k dps lol. I get that my ek still has to level and i need 1 more gem. But is that really going to give me like 60k dps?

Overall my gear cost around 45C which isnt too bad. But id really like to know what i can improve on. Im only level 63 and i still have yet to grab some crit nodes and some more es but other than that i dont see myself at like 80k dps the way i am now.

How would maligaros virtuosity do in this build? Im at 1,5k es with no gloves on and im still capped res. So would it be worth?

Absolutely if you can afford to use them. Those give huge dps boost and top of it, some dex for fe. vaal grace/haste.

currently lvl 72 in Warbands and i enjoy this build so much
here's my gear:

Hi guys, OP here back from vacation (also playing Poe less frequently though)

I have reached lvl 90 in the meanwhile which was a big goal of mine for this build (never reached it before in HC). I have been running 76-77 maps consistently and without difficulty, doing pretty much any map mods that aren't reflect or temp chains.

Also broke 100k DPS with some nice new jewels as well as lvl 20 EK (gave me a 10k dps boost from 19->20). The next step would be acquiring a lvl 21 EK for that last huge DPS boost, I've already corrupted 3 20/20's with no luck :(



I will try to answer some questions that I missed, I will still support this build for anyone who is playing it or wants to try it no matter if I stop playing or whatever happens.

Spoiler

I think you will be able to find a nice dagger upgrade if you check poe.trade

For rings you prioritize
-Life
-Resistances (so you don't need any on the amulet)
-Energy Shield
-Diamond Rings

Luxury
-Cast Speed
-STR
-Energy Shield % (master craft Elreon)
-Rarity

Here is a really nice ring I acquired recently and crafted ES% on it.

Every level of EK starts to give around 4-10k DPS in the later levels, which also scales with your gear and a 6-link even more because of phys to lightning. So yes, just keep leveling, you will get exponentially more powerful every time you level up your EK gem and adding a 6th link is a big DPS boost since ALL of our gems provide big dps boosts (outside of Faster proj).

You should also be able to upgrade your dagger for more crit chance for spells and that ring isn't very good as we don't use mana at all. In addition, you also need to take doomcast on the tree still, there is a lot of room for you to get stronger, but it will happen so don't worry.

It would be very nice for DPS, but I tend to consider mali's as more of a softcore option. I get a lot of ES out of my gloves, a lot of life and resists that I won't need on other pieces which allows more flexibility. Ultimately it's viable, up to everyone to tweak the build in their own flavor.

Sup guys just hit level 82 so heres my update:





Any idea on what i should be upgrading next? Im still stuck around level 72-73 maps. How can i progress through higher level maps.

Im sitting at 48k damage with all my buffs and charges. 4.7k hp, 1575 ES

Hey OP thanks for the reply. I've been busy lately so my Shadow's just at 72 but here's my current update. I think my base dmg is around 16k with my current EK level and setup? It goes up to 29k fully buffed with charges + Flask. 3.8k life & about 1.3k ES.

Gear-wise, I'm trying to get a new amulet to upgrade my current one though. Hopefully, I'll get one from maps.
