Are there any Self Found Shadow builds?

I have not played this game for a long while so I don't know what works and what doesn't.

I just want a Shadow build (preferably some kind of melee) that I can play in the new league from scratch. I don't want to buy any gear at all.

I would like to know that passive tree also since it has changed so much from the last time I played. >_<

Thanks in advance and please let me know if you need anymore information.

Bump, would love some help please.
Reave builds are nice, my gear is all self found. By that i mean finding item then selling it and then buying another.

I don't really understand what do you mean by self found though...

Builds aren't just born :D

Reave build isn't anything like melee, at least it's not works like it. I would go for flicker strike but that need shitload amount of money. So if you want a melee shadow then try out something with Viper Stike... I saw some build around here with it.

Never read it, but I gues it works...

Self found simply means a build that can get by without needing to buy any uniques or good gear and can get by from things I find myself. Also Reave is melee in my opinion, it's just an AoE melee skill.

About this Viper strike build, do you think you could have a look around for it for me? I have been looking around the forums but haven't found any that would not require buying anything.

EDIT: You found them. Thanks.

I had a look at them and they both say that Binos unique and Deaths Hand unique are needed. >_<

Atm I see Bino's for 35c and Death's for 10c in total 45c is not too much. I'm sure everybody can manage to get 45c for as long as they level to 56-65, even with 4 stash page...

Like I said before I don't want to buy anything. I just want to play a build that can do well on its own. Thinking I will probably have to be a spellcaster though since every Shadow melee build costs bonkers amounts to setup. Any suggestions?
My current assassin crit ek shadow:

This is not self-found all the way, but it's very cheap. Most of the stuff is 1-10c and essence worm a bit more and you can easily farm tabula. I found wand, shield, amulet, belt, tabula and facebreakers from cadiro.

Currently sitting at capped resists and with my boots enchant up i got around 130k tooltip dps with power charges. That is with level 19 EK.

Everything just freeze shatters, this is also Atziri viable. Killed her 3 times already, but you really need to watch out for mirror clone.

EDIT: Even if you took some of the better gear away, you'd probably lose 40k dps. Which at 90k is still more than enough.

So i'd say you can easily manage self-found crit ek build with the option of making it a whole lot better.
