How 2 comeback into Path of Exile?

Hey guys,

i got a few questions.

I rly love PoE, but i stopped play PoE when the Scion came out.
But i stopped playing PoE 'cause PoE lagged on my PC as fck and desync ripped me all the time, which pissed me off. :D When i got a double totem shadow in my team, my pc lagged as hell. :(

But i love the game 2 much, so i wanna comeback.
But now i have no clue which league i should play, i think i'll play normal league...
back then i hated it 'cause i 24/7 try hard, so HC (4 Month races) was the only option for me. :D
But i see no other chance 2 play what i rly like.

Aswell, i don't know what build i should play. I can't play things like LA Ranger or double totem shit.
It almost kills my PC (but i can play CS:GO, Tera, League of Legends easy on my pc).

I rly prefer Shadow's and Claw's (melee) and Life builds no ES builds.

So my question is actually:
Can i maybe improve the gameplay (i mean less lags, fps drops, ...)
Which build would u suggest?
Aswell i searched in the guild forum alrdy, but i don't foud a german guild, is maybe one out there? :D

Sorry for all the grammar fails, english is not my native language.

Hope u guys can help me.

Well, first of all, if you had performance problems in open beta it will be even worse now, if you lagged with a dual totemist on screen your PC will explode if you get even a whiff of a CoC user.

Temporary leagues end in two weeks, after which we got a 1 month hybrid league in HC and SC flavor. After that we get the next set of temporary leagues and major content update with long-awaited act 4. Or you can just play in standard if you want to take it easy and not worry about the schedule, your call.

If you want a shadow, you can play crit Reave or Static Strike with daggers or claws, neither of those skills is especially GPU-intensive.

Ty u guys so far.

I think i'll start a Freezing Pulse Shadow in HC and if he dies i play SC with him until i'm done with him. And try reave shadow then.

One more question, is there any way 2 find all my microtransactions on weapons, armors or skills? Or do i have 2 find them in the stash in SC and HC.... ._.?

there is no solution, yet.

you have to find them yourself and if you can't find a mt you remember having bought, you can still mail support to look it up for you.

if you can't remember which mt you bought at all (there is no chance to find out if you don't have written it down yourself) and have an awful lot of tabs to hide items (like me), you probably have to bother support again to give you a list.

If you know the name of the MTX (or part of it), you can use the search function in your stash. Type in part of the name and it will highlight all items that have that name somewhere on them, including MTX effects. You can switch active tabs by using the left/right arrow keys on your keyboard btw.
If you don't remember the names, simply browse through the shop and write down the names of stuff you think you might have bought ;).

I don't play Standard for most of the time and have been a bit negligent with sorting in all the stuff that got there from my hardcore characters and previous league merges. The outcome is a mess of over hundred unsorted stashtabs, mostly even unnamed and it is nearly impossible to find anything in there "by hand".
I ripped the Ethereal Stars effect with my EK Bloodlines Duelist a while ago and now wanted to make another EK char to test some different approaches. Spent a couple minutes trying to find the effect in my stash before i remembered the search function. Got it then after a minute of scrolling through tabs until the highlighted item containing the gem with the MTX turned up.
