Awesome. Haven't played shadow for several leagues so will do this and then do the reaper. Question - you said "armor and weapons" in the guide but then don't mention any weapons. Is there a leveling bow now?

There are no required items for this build, it's meant most of all for players who league start.
If you have currency already, you can buy tabula and it's enough :P

Yes it required S.R.S build dont work without it

I will be starting with this

This is great actually. In fact I am liking this so much that I want to keep playing CA when I am done. Can you recommend a build to pick up that's similar? It seems like most Shadow builds posted here are for mines and traps. But I really like playing an archer type.

That's nice to hear! I haven't looked into it further - I made it from scratch just for levelling.

Slow, relaxed pace - all passives and 2 labs.
Basically 3 link because pierce is kinda useless with so many pierces already in tree.

Very lazy and didn't buy anything except 1 res item at act 5.

Got 10C in bank.

The build starts slower now because it seems like Chris and the gang want you to start taking resistances from act 1.

Act 6 - finish was very smooth.

Swapping to Reap now

I'm not far but this is the fastest leveling build I've played at the start and it's really good for excavations. I never really felt like Arc, Frost bomb etc were this strong this early, even Flame Wall didn't do this much damage with low gear. I accidentally overleveled because it was too easy.

This is the first time I've gone through to level 60 without getting killed once. This PoB only goes to level 63 though. OP or anyone else playing this, do you have any plans to develop this into a full endgame build?

I understand Leag start we use Smooth Sailing Shadow Bow Build:

In act6 we can switch in reap full build yes?

Rather at maps (:

PoB 3.16 with mastery soon ? :)

Here's a 64 point PoB with the new tree, pretty much the same
