Best way to level up a new shadow ASAP?

Hey guys, i've hit level 91. almost 92 I decided to reroll into a shadow.
My end game plan is to go CI/Crit.
I haven't leveled up any new characters for ages, what's the fastest way at the moment?
I know that using a facebreaker used to be, or still is pretty good.
Any suggestions on how to get back to end game content ASAP?
(Please also take into consideration that I'm starting from the shadow area)

Thanks!!!

Facebreaker is still good.

Personally I usually start on a Silverbranch then switch to a 2handed ST for most of the rest of the way.

(ie Shiversting - Rigvalds, option for Geofri's Baptism, etc)

flickerstrike + melee splash (QUALITY) + multistrike.

add more links to your tabula rasa once you have them / can use them

accuracy/faster attacks, melee physical / mana leech / blood magic / life gained on hit.

just too fast for levelling and ok for questing

The best experience i had when leveling shadows was flameblast. Ifit's fully charged and you have crit nodes as well you can mostly two shot bosses up till merciless with just a crafted +1 to firegems wand.

Well known SB+FB.
But it you want it to be extremely fast, better find a friend to power level you.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far.
Regarding power leveling, if I'm very low level and the guy who power levels me is very high level, doesn't it mean I won't be gaining any experience? is power leveling even possible at earlier levels?

power levelling in PoE ? not sure if feasible...

Yes, there's a harsh penalty related to difference in levels.
You have to breeze through normal and cruel with SB/FB, it's easy, he has to provide you WPs, boss kills, some quest help to fasten progression. Though you rush, you still gain levels. True power leveling is in merci, he has to babysit you with the lowest level char possible. It will be a bit slow in the beginning, exp gain will exponentially arise soon.
It's tested and it works. If his level is too high, it won't.

We can tell that you don't often re-roll. It's a breeze when you have any decent equipment. I'd not focus on changing gear except at levels 18 and 31 as much as you can help it. That's the real time waster.

Improving gear on a level 8 character just to make 8-18 go a bit faster is a waste of storage and time.

Leveling for me has never been so easy than with my 2H Sword Ranger at the beginning of Domination. If you're willing to massively respec, that's imho the way to go from the Shadow tree.
