Hi all. Is there any leveling tips for this build? Never played shadow before. I would be very grateful for a hint!

The new thunderfist gloves seem really strong after the new patch, how viable do you think they are for this build now?

"

The Thunderfist Unique Gloves no longer has +25-30 to maximum Energy Shield, or 100% increased Duration of Lightning Ailments. It also no longer has 10% increased Stun Duration on Enemies, or Adds 1 to 100 Lightning Damage to Attacks. Instead, it now has 150-200% increased Evasion and Energy Shield, and 100% increased effect of Lightning Ailments. It also now has Socketed Gems are Supported by Level 30 Added Lightning Damage (previously Level 18).

Hey, first of all, thx for the guide and OFC thx for reply all users that ask u. Much aprecciated.

I never play as main a trapper and this league i wanted to start with a Fire trapper. I have my document with upgrades, leveling, etc but after nerf (now level 20 fire trap have same damage that level 18) have some doubts. Then ill se ur guide.

Is good enough for killing bosses/invitations at the start? or doing Expedition?

Fire trap is comfortable (just one skill use, have DoT, dont waste Life while throw traps..) and do invitations/bosses pretty good with no BIG investments (ofc money u get, waste on ur stuff for next upgrades, I´m not talking about do uber maven with 3ex stuff xD).

Is lightning trap able to do the same? Ofc i want to push the build to the limit, but im talking about 2/3 first days.

Im scared about ruin my league start if try this build and im not to be able to reach my first day goals because i may be lost on the upgrades or how this build works around power charges.

Anyway, ill be waiting with ilusion ur 3.19 guide.

Thx again and gather strength for the next league start

In archnemesis league id killed both searing exarch and eater of worlds by the start of the second day. My investment was at the time like 2-3 ex (thats early league prices, basically just the amulet and one void battery). By the start of the third day id killed maven and shortly afterwards uber elder. My investment was about 10ex (if you count the 6link i got in 250 fusing as 5ex). The encounters were comfortable enough that on the 4th day I started carrying uber elders for people.

In Sentinel league I chose to league start the build one more time but due to t16 maps stubbornly not dropping it took me until the 4th day to get all 4 voidstones, though this time on a smaller budget and 5link for maven. Id taken down the feared by the 6th day of the league. With like 15-20 ex invested, though def could have done it with less. I linked all my gear that I had for those fights near the bottom of the build guide if you are interested.

Player skill is a factor, and noone is more familiar with my build than me, but I had what I consider to be a strong league start both leagues. I certainly felt squishy at times, mostly while mapping, but for the budget I had I was fine with it.

Now there is one problem you should be aware of, that affects most builds, that they are making base game uniques drop far less often, and they are messing with the drop chance of specific uniques on a case by case basis to compensate. Void Batteries and badge of the brotherhood have historically been rather rare drops. I'm assuming they made them somewhat more common due to uniques dropping less often but I simply don't know how available those particular items will be.

The gloves are gated behind a boss, so that shouldn't be any more/less available than earlier leagues, and I doubt tinkerskin is going to be made into a super rare item. The rast of the rares and uniques shouldn't be an issue.

Hope you have a strong league start, good luck.
