What was shaper like? was it hard, did you need vaal breach for it?

shaper was painless, just a little slow. the new movement skills make dodging stuff really easy

Gonna give it a shot lvl 40 so far and the skill is fun af to play.

Hey, this is my second character and after boring myself to death with a Lacerate Glad this is a lot of fun. So thanks for that. I wanted to ask you about the armor, any good choices? Or just a yellow one?

I do have a 6 link daresso's defiance that I can either use or sell to buy something else.

Thanks!

I'm going fortis fortuna adiuvat and using a +2 level of proj skills tabula.
At least until I recover currency from my failure of a tornado shot.
Tailwind seems bugged now - it always gives full stacks after a single skill. That makes it a bit faster at least until they fix it.

You can use whatever body armor you want. I chose shroud of the lightless because it was a cheap 6L early in the league. A rare elder armor with "Attacks have +x% to Critical Strike Chance" would be a really good option. If you have unlimited money a farrul's fur or eternity shroud would be interesting options.

I've been toying with the idea of Gloomfang + SST, found your build through poe.ninja and then came to see if you had posted about it on the forums, nice to find it here! It's so much more refined than the stuff I've been toying with too, will definitely give it a shot when I'm done with my current char.

extremely well written guide ty very much. always wanted to try out specrral shield throw. seems like finally i will

I'm sorry for the constant questions, but, which one would you use for this build?

Daresso's defiance (https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Daresso%27s_Defiance)

Or

Lioneye's Vision (https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Lioneye%27s_Vision)

Also, which one do you prefer when it comes to the helmet enchant? % damage or shards?

Thanks.

I haven't tested this myself, but I assume the +shards gets reduced by the threshold jewel. +damage is a clear winner for me because "damage is damage" and it helps boost your single target damage, the weakest part of the build.

As for the body armor, I'd go with Daresso's, as pierce is anti-synergy with gloomfang and you have no real problem clearing packs with herald of ice explosions. Other decent choices are Cherrubim's Maleficense, Lightnign Coil, Belly, Perfect Form, Queen of the Forest, Yriel's Fostering, Inpulsa's (phys to lightning). BUT...an elder chest with +chance to crit and high evasion, life & goodies like life recovery on kill & extra spell dodge probably beats any unique for this build.

So ive been playing this and its an amazing build! Thank you for putting the guide together. However i came across Eclipse Solaris and though it might be a good main hand you lose attack speed but you also blind enemies and it gives a massive crit strike chance against blind enemies and since we take the crit strike against blind cluster on the tree it might be worth using. PoB gives it quite a bit higher dps but you do lose some attack speed so just a thought
