I would appreciate if anyone can enlighten me on a few things as it seems like the playstyle for shadow is different based on the tree. 1) Does the Shadow not use EB/MOM combination anymore (based on tree)? I presume we don't reserve mana 100% now. 2)Picking up power charges: are we using the method Karv was discussing as per Youtube video? 3)Unstable Infusion. Will SWT strikes trigger it? If not then I presume we are depending on the Frenzy-PCOC method. Thx. Appreciate the help.	Posted by jeffllm#4944 on Mar 13, 2016, 1:31:27 AM Quote this Post
They dont use EB/MOM any more cause mana pots are working well and they run the labyrinth also. Last edited by wsbisev#0627 on Mar 13, 2016, 10:58:22 PM	Posted by wsbisev#0627 on Mar 13, 2016, 9:50:27 AM Quote this Post
What is the advantage of using mana though? Doesn't EB/MoM allow to use Herald of Fire + Arctic Armor? Not using EB/MoM means a higher EHP and 3 free passive points, but what are the other advantages?	Posted by nickbean13#5880 on Mar 14, 2016, 11:05:19 AM Quote this Post

I imagine we wont need HoA since we wont lack the dps eventually. can anyone share their experiences particularly the mana management. Do the mana/mana regen nodes on the tree provide enough resources? How much more stats on the equip do we need in fr the build. Whats ur unreserved mana? Do u feel comfortable with that amount? Thx fr ur discussion.	Posted by jeffllm#4944 on Mar 14, 2016, 7:45:03 PM Quote this Post

I fail to see the 20% PC charge on totem placement. However, Hierophant is probably the best because of " Can have up to 2 additional Totems summoned at a time 10% less Totem Damage per active Totem The totems deal nice damage. Having 4 of them up. But then, having 4 Totems up makes each totem have 40% less dmg.... still it might be worth it since bosses would have more totems to cut down hierophant from SCION is the best probably cause of insta full power charges withous pain in a neck. as for second sub-class, i dont really know. also. you have no time to cast 4 totems, 2 is more than enough for hardest content and fast map clearing.

Inquisitor or Assassin for SWT? What's your preference and why? I liked your stream yesterday by the way. Watching the siege ballista was fun.	Posted by Goldd666#2799 on Mar 20, 2016, 1:01:49 AM Quote this Post

I am not sure what Karv is currently using. 3) No SWT wont trigger Unstable Infusion. Regarding Orb of Storms it is essentially like using Enduring Cry for Charges... its pretty good. twitch.tv/wabachaw	Posted by wabachaw#1195 on Mar 20, 2016, 8:52:42 PM Quote this Post
What about Victario's Charity? It seems like an easy way to get power and frenzy charges from our totems.	Posted by iberion_#4959 on Mar 23, 2016, 4:57:32 AM Quote this Post
