The "Crit-Dagger" 1hp Build
The "Crit-Dagger" build revolves around the Chaos Inoculation passive skill, which grants immunity to Chaos damage but reduces maximum health to 1. While reaching the CI node at the top of the skill tree may take time, this build focuses on high Critical damage and chance with substantial leech towards your Evasion Shield. Your Shield becomes your lifeline, and the "Ghost Reaver" node ensures that your high crit-damage keeps it healthy. Utilize Lightning Strike as your main AoE skill, while using Viper Strike, Elemental Hit, or Double Strike for single targets.
The "Lightning Sparks" Mage Shadow Build
As a caster Shadow, the "Lightning Sparks" build emphasizes easy leveling, range, and substantial damage. Spark and Fork are the key skill gems for this build. However, enemies with high Lightning resistance can pose a challenge. Focus on increasing your Lightning damage to overcome this hurdle and deal devastating blows to your foes.
The "Physical-Bow" Shadow Build
If you prefer a physical damage-focused build with a bow, the "Physical-Bow" Shadow build is for you. This build heavily relies on decent gear, so make sure you acquire high-level equipment to maximize its effectiveness. With seven frenzy charges, your character will unleash a flurry of arrows at a remarkable rate. Frenzy and Split Arrow will be your stable skills, while auras further enhance your damage output. Link Frenzy with Fast Attacks and Added Fire Damage or Increased Critical Damage/Increased Critical Strikes. For Split Arrow, link it with Faster Attacks, Chain, Life Leech, or similar support gems. Remember, attack speed plays a crucial role for archers.
The Shadow Ethereal Knives Hybrid Tank Build
For those who prefer a resilient caster build, the Shadow Ethereal Knives Hybrid Tank build offers a blend of durability and damage. Leverage your bonus Intelligence and the "Lord of the Dead" node to summon and control minions. Raise Zombie, Specter, and optional Minion Life gem will bolster your defensive capabilities. Choose an off-hand shield that complements your playstyle, with a "Faster Casting" gem being a must-have. As for your primary skill, Ethereal Knives paired with Mana/Life Leech, Fork, and Faster Casting will allow you to effortlessly cleave through enemies.
