[1-2.0] CoC Sci/Sha/Ran/Due with Block - Song of Ice and Fire. Cheap. Fun. Nerfed

I have all the aforementioned gear here and I'm thinking about starting up the shadow tree. There isn't a passive leveling guide for shadow, and with that being said what keystones should I prioritize? Is mana the only issue with leveling shadow?

Thanks guys

Hey do you think the unique ring, Theif's torment can be good for this build? By using two of these rings u can get good life leech since this build hits many times. Also what do you think about using power charge on crit instead of Conc effect ?

Thief's Torment isn't really necessary because of Spectral Throw's low mana cost. I've been playing this build for a few days and I find myself using PCoC on the way to the boss and switching to Conc Effect when I'm fighting the map boss.

Playing as a shadow and lvl 80 atm. Gear is as follows

Nice gear :)
As you seem to be pretty rich, I suggest solving "10 mana left" problem by buying level 21 reduced mana gem and +1 gem level gloves or boots.
Cheaper solutions are lower level Clarity and reduced reservation node in Leadership cluster.
Grace should help with "die more than I should" issue.
As a side note, use blessed orbs on belt and amulet.

Here you go :) You may choose another order, according to your playstyle. Possible temporary nodes like Soul Siphon not included.

Thief's Torment is possible but not really good. Life and mana on hit works on attacks only, so only ST hits will proc it, not spells. Getting max life and resists with that rings is a torment :)

PCoC adds consistency but reduces dps compared to concentrated effect.

here is a passive tree breakdown for shadow.it's just like the scion passive tree breakdown but just a...shadow version :p

to OP
maybe you could post this in the main guide so they won't have trouble with shadow leveling :)

Ok, having both in the first post doesn't hurt :)

I'm playing a similar build to yours, and I was looking at your build to help me out... I have a question:

I've been abusing the shotgun mechanic of this build a LOT, but when I skilled into Elemental Equilibrium, I thought I noticed inconsistencies in my shotgun damage... If I'm not mistaken, EE procs on the first (by a split second) of the 5 fireballs and reduces the dmg of the other four, then the same thing happens for arctic breath... Is that how it works, or am I mistaken, and all the projectiles that hit at the same time (shotgun) are affected by the previous proc of EE from the lightning dmg on the ungils?

Have been running through A3Merc as Scion.
Level 67 atm and still farming The Catacomb.
Mana isn't a problem running lvl 6 clarity is enough, My problem are the lighting res, a rouge exile who using flameblast+searing bound that guy one-shoted me, and i died to viper strike a lot
Res:101/88/67 (w/ purity of lighting)
Crit chance : ~40

I have some questions (again :P)

1. What to do next either complete Merc or farming until capped my lighting resist.

2. How do I improve my Crit chance?

3. About passive, already taken EE, Ondar's, Acrobatics and Ballistic, Which one to go first? Dervish or Twin terror

Here is my gear (I'm new to PoE and this is my second char)



Also any suggestion on flaks?



I was lucky that 2 exalts dropped while leveling the first one for nest and the other for 1ex tabula really cheap lol
Deaths: 25 is this too much for a newbie ?

Thanks in advance! And especially to SunnyRay for bringing this exciting build :)

PS.Sorry for my English
