Hey i tried to use the pastebin link on PoB but pop-up and error, i think maybe isn't updated or just an gem/skill who was deleted in this last update, hope you can fix it soon, i appreciate your work and i want to use this for my first try/run of Shadow.

You may try this one from 4 days ago : https://pastebin.com/EgsJkCUa

Or here a simpler version I've remade quickly, with level 95 only : https://pastebin.com/8nTTYrt4

Make sure your PoB is updated. Let me know if it works.

Thank you, it works, i think was a bug with the update of yesterday, i update the game today and the pastbin works fine.

Thanks for your answer.
My occultist bane is running and I'll save money for reroll this build.
I wanted to make a BF since 2 leagues. Champion impale, inquisitor cold or assa version was not clear in my mind.
But this build seems have something more so let save money (3ex atm) and try this one :)

I stay tuned on your post to follow updates.

Don't you feel a bit squichy VS metamorph bosses?

From your suggestion of yesterday, I have tested EB + full ES body armour + full mana reserved. Was ok but actually felt less tanky than the Loreweave. Because the latter offers +% to all max res, which us huge.
But I've kept EB, which makes it safe to add a 25% aura.
Can be Flesh % Stone, Herald of Purity or Aspect of the Cat like before.
But this time, I have chosen Aspect of the Spider. Slows nearby enemies and make them take inc dmg.

Also I have taken Shaper's gloves with Enfeeble on hit.
I was then able to safely down Kitava in a corrupted t15 with Beyond.

I haven't played much in League (barely passed act 1 this weekend), but you can feel that the bosses are stronger. Merveil took forever to kill with Cobra Lash.
But once I get BF, I'll be ready to cook some tasty Metamorphs soup.

What is bf gems setup for 3.9 ?

Same as before : Melee Phys Dmg + Infused Channelling + Energy Leech + Fortify + Nightblade

Btw, I've noticed in PoB that an Awakened Melee Phys level 5 would give ~8% more dmg.

*

I have begun testing the build in 3.8 and tried different setups : different auras, Eldritch Battery or not etc. They were like beta versions of the new 3.9 "MoM" build.
In every case, it felt very tanky and totally playable. Even in 3.9, map bosses are deleted quickly.

Here is my first demo for it :

#1 : Mind over Matter

so impale and Vile Toxins is not so good in this league ?

They both take several hits to ramp up dmg, and I prefer good DPS on any first hit.
Besides, there is a (small) nerf on Impale in 3.9, as enemies now have more armour and phys dmg reduction. I think it is mostly a nerf to Zombies phys dmg, but with a melee char, you can feel it against big bosses.
In the setup I'm using, several gems give both offensive and defensive bonuses : infused chan, energy leech, fortify and nightblade.

tnx bro <3

Great guide made me want to try the shadow class, I'm completely brand new to POE and trying to get my head around it all still!?!. I'm really struggling with what to use as I level or is it not that important pre BF? any tips on items/gems or anything is shouldn't miss out on would be appreciated

Before BF, I have used Cobra Lash with Void Manipulation support. + Unbound Ailment if you can get a 3-link.
Withering Steps and Contagion.
Dash or Whirling Blades for movement.
