2 hardware tips.

1. Use the lowest settings, the higher ones do not change the graphics that much. In this game not having stuttering is a must.

2. Cap your FPS to 60, it'll do wonders for your performance.

Thanks Kuddman I was a all over the place on my first build. The new build I am looking for particular passive bonuses. I am enjoying a Blight, Contagion / Wither setup with Void Manipulation support. It felt odd at first I see Shadow like a Rogue type character but then I was thinking of Elder Scrolls Online the NightBlade I played as a caster and it was a very fun build.

In that case you might also want to give 'Essence Drain' a try. It is supposed to be used in combination with Contagion (if a monster is affected by contagion and essence drain, both, essence drain and contagion will 'jump' to monsters close by when the first monster dies).

Also, considering the passive tree that you had open in your photo: critical strike chance will not affect the damage over time dealt by essence drain, blight, or contagion. People using these skills normally ignore critical strike chance completely...anyway, hope you are having fun, seeing as your shadow is level 14, it should still work out easily and some explanations might be overkill at this stage ;).

Playing with kids only about 30 mins to hour so it may be slow. Also clearing each area to know the different locations and layouts.

The wife is a loot hoarder so she enjoys going through entire areas. I am sure this weekend since the kids are out of school will be going through a lot more of the content.
