So i have a 65 Shadow but i really messed up his tree with this build...But i was thinking of rerolling so this way i can spec the right way and get the right gems...i was doing a LS/CoC/Discharge/Increase AoE/ Increase Crit on my 5l Volls...problem is i messed up his ES and spec so hes super squishy. But heres my Gear for the next guy.

The Shield i plan to replace with a better ES/Crit shield

Dont know which would be better.

All depends if you want tanky or damage.

I go tanky over everything else. Im sitting on 200% increased life and life in every slot except one, atm.

Rather be tanky...the dmg i can deal with not being as high as possible Living>Dead. So the shield with higher ES then?

Id say so, yes.

What spell do you plan to end up using? Discharge again?

Well Im trying something different that i like more. Atm im going Lightning Strike/Cast on Crit/ Frostbite/ Increase Aoe/ Multistrike....Then on my gloves i just have Discharge/Life Leech/Mana Leech and im liking it better...problem atm is my Mana is so low because of Volls, But i manage and its fun. Id looove to run CoC/ST/Discharge/Inc AOE/LL (dont know what i want my 5th) but dont wanna spend the 50 i already did to get this loadout on my Volls.



I also have this i could go to untill i can redo my Spec and go Spectral Throw/Discharge

My gear:


My build:


Stats with 4 power charges, clarity, haste:


Currently playing a 76 shadow using this build. Total gear is about 20 exalts. My 6L is ST-LL-CoC-PCoC-GMP-spell. It'a nice to be able to switch up my spell if my map has, say monster fire res, I can throw on arc on ice spear instead of fireball. Not really using FP, as I already have a FP character and want to use other spells. I'm currently experimenting with Double Strike+Multistrike+CoC+Spark for single target.The idea is that when Spark is cast, all its projectiles will hit whatever I am attacking, doing quite a bit of damage, especially on crit. I'll try firestorm when I have one leveled. Not having LL in there hurts though; I spam a lot of flasks on bosses.

Also using Flame totem+faster casting+blind for defense against attacking bosses. Clarity is required, and I'm using Haste for the movespeed and attack speed. I'd prefer grace, but losing haste is just too much.

I now want one of those unique two-stones lol. Being able to replace LL with something else, like another spell, faster attacks, Q additional accuracy, crit dmg or something else could be awesome.

This is a wonderful idea. I shall give you credit of course, but would you be ok with me putting this into my guide?

Feel free. It is VERY bursty, as spark itself has a huge damage range and low crit chance. However, when you actually get the crit spark cast, it melts things. The nature of multistrike crit also contributes to the burstiness.

Also, I want to try DS-MS-CoC-spark in a legacy Thunderfist. Even with my current gear, my doublestrike has a tooltip dps of about 2000, which, while not great, is something. I think all the added lightning from thunderfist and the support link it offers would probably put my doublestrike up to like 3.5k, if not more, which is not a bad supplement. Too lazy to calculate right now. Combined with the shock duration, it might be possible to shock bosses with the spark crits. Hard to say. WTB cheap thunderfist

This is standard build only, you will die instantly to Lightning thorns packs with this build in HC.
