I stack quantity as high as possible to farm orbs & maps. This nerfs ya pretty bad, but you are either farmin or leveling. Trying to do both without dying leads to madness because eventually you. will. die.
A bit of rarity as you level through the difficulties will help. Just dont get caught up farming the hotspots (Ledge/Fellshrine/Ancient Pyramid) for more than a few levels. Access to better gear will be a perpetual dangling carrot. Lesser projectiles does in fact hit more targets but lowers dmg. Whirling blades is a great escape plan as well. ____________________________________twitch.tv/tyranthal

I never actually farm, i just do the quests. but i always find myself like 5 levels higher than the zone. I think this is due to the fact that ill die and wont have a waypoint and the zone resets :/.
I have no idea what are farming hot spots. How should I go about getting rarity drops honestly I think the gear Is garbage so i rather be gimped but finding better loot. I just got ader dagger. I skip the elemental dmg the in the int tree because i had no elemental dmg skills, I think ill go back to fill this up since I do more elemental dmg. |

I am having difficulty with this build, my dps is way too low.
I think i am doing it wrong haha. |

" What level are you? Post your spec & Main Hand if you would. I recommend making a 4 link & supporting LS with elemental dmg (like added cold/fire/light damage) ____________________________________twitch.tv/tyranthal

" Most people make their gear with orbs the have. You can use Alchemy orbs on white gear to make it rare. You can use a chaos orb on any rare to reroll it. The stats you get are random but are in line with the nature of the item. Expect a circlet to have int, +mana etc. Remember that if you are higher level (iirc, 5 lvls +) than the monster level of the zone, you will see less rares. People farm the Ledge in act1 because of the number of rare mobs + a unique boss. Rare mobs & Unique bosses drop loot 2 levels above the zone's monster level. A Rare/Unique mob in a lvl 42 zone will drop level 44 loot. Look for daggers with the 80% crit chance implicit stat. This helps trigger the adder dmg dot from landing crits ____________________________________twitch.tv/tyranthal

I'm new to the game (started playing last weekend during open beta) and is actually new to the whole genre as well (never played d1,2,3) but im actually enjoying this game, even though I am a complete nub regarding it. In fact i originally chose a shadow cuz i thought it was like a rogue in WoW hahahaha
However i soon found out hownwrong my build was cuz my ranger friend like 8 levels below me was dealing more dmg than i was and gearwise were not that different. I am following ur guide after seeing so many different builds for shadow because it's an interesting take on this character and it's actually working much better. What are ur usual steps when killing mobs and leveling and when dealing with bosses? What do ppl usually open with, follow with, and end with? Rite now I'm basically charging in with whirling blade, elemental weaken, then LS, standard atk, and a shock nova here and there. Am I on the right track? Or way off? Inputs appreciated =) Thanks! |

" While leveling up, you'll probably use a lot of non-optimal skills/spells and gear. You just use whatever is best and allows you to progress. Most of what Tyranthal has posted is for late(r) game. If you notice what Tyranthal has said multiples times throughout this thread, he didn't even level with this build. |

There are so many gems to try for a variety of situations. Tempoaral Chains works well to slow ranged enemies in hard to reach places.
For a really tough high energy shield boss I use a tried & tested method I learned on my duelist. Curse with Vulnerability, Shield Charge in to stun (vuln increases this stun duration) then viper strike the max amount of dots & shield charge away. Then re-stun with another shield charge... repeat repeat. This works well on really annoying mega rare infinite ES necromancers. Do it correctly & you wont get hit & will more or less be stun locking the mob while dots eat him away. I too played a rogue on WoW (vanilla) :P ____________________________________twitch.tv/tyranthal

I've got a question myself.
Can you give us, the guys who are willing to go with your build since it looks awesome, some general stat numbers. I wish to know when to stop maximizing one stat and go with other and so forth. Just general number of crit%, evasion, dmg, ele. dmg and such would awesome. thx in advance p.s. some farming spots for mid lvl range would be apreciated. :P |
