Perz' Reave Shadow

Been leveling a shadow to 47 ever since my first (therefor bad) one couldn't kill whites in act 3 and after seeing this build... Looks like i'm restarting again! I mean, my current guy is working fine but this just looks so good.

Yes, I am sure. Maybe he's been playing in party where someone else casts hatred.

Grace is not better than hatred for this build.


i use grace + hatred because i have 5'6k ES without discipline, so i prefer more armour (with grace i think 4k more)
Thx for the build. I got a few characters and this one is the most fun to play.

I got a question tho about crafting and I can not find a crafting section in this forum, so I ask here =)

I have this claw:



I was wondering if I should reroll its stats with a divine orb. But I am not sure if the increased physical damage mod of 122% is already at the upper end of the spectrum. The claw is itemlevel 74.

Anyways if this is not the apropriate place to ask crafting questions ignore it.

great build, thx for making my PoE time more enjoyable. ;)
Any insight as to go CI or health? =)
currently lvl 81 with this build, its verry fun, but i got a long way to go in the gearing progress

here is my current gear



i have a big problem with str, allrdy took a 30 node in the tree, and im still looking for a good ring with str to replace that piece of garbage.

Hey so this is what I've got going right now skill tree wise. I've been following the Invalesco CI Crit build but I'm starting to feel like this is a lot stronger. Do you think it's worth it to switch the nodes to claw instead of dagger? I haven't had huge troubles with survivability with granite flasks right now, so I don't know if the extra life leech is super necessary. Also, for ES, the other guide I was looking at stressed ES pretty heavily but you seem more lax on it in favor of Evade. Is this because you got the Acrobatics? Isn't that kind of risky since if they get through your evade you can get one-shot if your ES gets cut in half?

Also can I get some critique on my gear? I currently have enough money to shop around for a 5l. I've been looking for pure ES armor, but you suggest ES/eva with a lot lower ES. Is that worth it for me with my skill tree, or should I respec and look for ES/eva?


Also, the auras. Wouldn't running hatred instead of Grace be a lot better since the freeze from Hatred+your crit chance helps you survive as well as DPS?

Sorry for all the questions, but your build seems really promising. I've been using Reave recently and the DPS is so much better than the LS I've been using from before. Thanks.

How do you get 5.6k ES with carcass and alphas howl? Or are you running a high ES chest?

CI. It's meant for CI, the OP says that the health build was just by popular demand. Also remember blood rage sucks (possibly unusable) without CI.

One concern I have with this build: Why reave? Why not double strike or viper strike? Wouldn't they have higher DPS? Is it just the AOE?
Also, why no flicker strike?

Where I'm at now (cruel act 3) lightning strike actually seems much better than reave as an AOE spell. It may be because my LS is more leveled and better supported but the range feels good also. Plus I picked up arcing blows as part of the build I was previously gonna follow, which (I think) helps wrath too. I realize that reave works better with percentage-based leach because it's 100% physical... So I'm not sure which I'd rather have in the long run. :/

I also find it strange not to see hatred or wrath in the OP. Wrath kicks ass!

I like the build a lot! I'm going to try and do something similar I think. What would be the biggest complaint with this build?
