Shadow Builds List - Post your build here - not Updated

For now almost two years I am maintaining the Duellist Buildlist and for nearly a year the Scion and Shadow Lists aswell. But sadly my time has come. My personal life demands more and more time. Thus far that I don't see me able to maintain the lists properly anymore. I don't even have time to play PoE at all.

As hard as it may be, but I need to resign my duty. This is now a call for others to step up. I need someone who takes over my Lists. As I am not able to maintain then any longer.

If you are willed enough to serve our community and you want to take over one or all lists, please PM me and I guide you through the process.

I'll try to look into the forum every once in a while.


For those whose Builds are not added yet, I am sorry. If I find the time I'll do so.

TL;DR

I resign my duty. I need some brave soul to take care over the build lists.

###

I decided to let the 3.1 Builds in the list. As far as I have time I'll update the list accordingly.

###

Hello Exiles, my name is Bison.
I have the honour to take care of the Shadow Buildlist.
If you have any suggestions, let me know! Every feedback is very welcome.
You maybe want to know what I'am playing this league?
Please keep in mind, I'm still working on the style of this list.

##Placeholder - Maybe a nice Header?##

I wanted to thank Gazza732 for his dedication and his very valuable time.



What is needed to be featured in this list?

Your build/guide should contain more then your gear and a skill tree. A bit more detail would be nice. If possible a leveling section would highly appreciated (for our beginners).
I will not contain any pure theory crafted builds, every build should at least made it to maps.


How do I submit my Build?
Just post it in the thread. I will appreciate if you write a few words about it too.
Please do not send me a PM with your build, this will go out of hand with 3 Build Lists. :)


NEW ADDITION: I will only contain properly named builds.

To keep things clear and easy, I won't add "clickbaity" parts to the list.


Note: Every build creator can name it guide as he wants. I just won't add those things anymore to the list or at least alter it accordingly!

Usefull things for newcomers:

Scorching Ray Cast while Channeling Explanation (Also helpful for all other builds!) - by CaptainWARLORD


Neversink's Lootfilter
This is my personal favorite lootfilter. I use this since it very first release.

Antnee's Classy Item Filter for Distinguished Exiles
Antnee's lootfilter is also a great one to use.

Other filters can be found here. There you can prewatch many of the lootfilters.


Filterblade, the Web Project from Neversink + Team

Offline Treeplanners

[PoESkillTree]
Path of Building

These two offline planners (both are very good) will help you to plan your builds. THis may needs some indepth knowledge of PoE.

I'd like to see someone finish this build I started that I've been too busy to finish, so if I can get this added for some people to look at that'd be helpful. It already has a build "guide" with its own thread, just hasn't gone too far from there:
https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1971949

I feel like it has potential that hasn't been realized and is kind of unique with how it approaches the skill (Viper strike). I just am simply too busy right now to keep going with it. If someone else can pick up where I left off and maybe make something out of it that'd be awesome - it has a lot of unique bonuses that were added to this type of thing in 3.0.

That said I probably won't be visiting the forums too much but I'll pop back in on the weekends maybe to see if anything came out of it.

Cheers.
my evasion is so high i only insta rip sometimes

Bug Fixes:
People were using cyclone for actual melee builds, so we nerfed it and made blade vortex. Also, we went ahead and made cyclone great for CoC casters while we were at it.

It may take a day or two until I can work on the Shadow list. I'm actually working on the Scion list to get things sorted. When this its done, the Shadow List will be way easier to handle.

But, you can already submit the builds here. I'll add them at the time when I start working on the Shadow List.

I would like to submit my Snowblind build. It is a cold projectile based CoC build with Cospri's Malice. It is a life based build focusing on good damage and surviviability.

I'm liking the color scheme actually. Maybe some more bolding on certain bits, but I'm biased.

It's cheap, it clears maps in no time, it's unique and loads of fun to play!... Well, and an eyesore, but that's hardly a downside!
