Early game armor for shadow?

Im new to Shadow class and im going duel shank weapon style. Im wondering what types of armor do i go with? I would think more armors with evasion rating eh?

Since your Evasion rating is going to be the pits starting out and since the Shadow is naturally a Dex/Int character, your best bet will be with Energy sheild/Evasion armor. Even if you plan to build towards an Acrobatics build(pure evasion) your still going to want the ES until it becomes viable to spec into that and Vice versa for a Chaos Innoculation build but most are hesitant to bother with this passive skill. Hope this helps.
