Build Overview

Heelllo Internet, this is the placeholder for my Shadow Dagger build for 1.0. There is currently no knowledge on the new passive tree or the rebalanced support gems, or any of the shadow ascendancies, so this is going to be a very barebones setup right now.

My League Start Build For 1.0:

There will not be any other build I league start at 1.0 unless the devs show something cooler than Eclipse and Shade gameplay, which the devs themselves have admitted that this is by far the edgiest and coolest playstyle they have in the game.

Updates:

I will keep this written guide updated with any new toys we get all the way until the actual patch notes 1 week before launch, at that point I will make this into a more fleshed out guide, with daily updates on my stream, youtube and discord. You can hop in to any of them at any time, I do not stream currently but I will start at the launch of 1.0.

If you like what i do and appreciate the detail and work I put into things, then consider checking out the patreon, but you really do not have to just your views and comments on youtube and in my discord are enough to warm the fires.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • The edgiest, possibly fastest moment to moment gameplay build in the game
  • High Clear Speed and Single Target
  • Could be squishy if ascendancy does not have anything to help survivability
  • 2 button playstyle until late game
  • Stealth and Shroud visuals might tire out your eyes after a long play session (dad gamer weakness)

How it Plays

The build will focus around getting as much crit chance as possible on gear and support gems to benefit from the Grim Bargain spirit gem which gives 5 Darkness On Crit.

This will then be used with Eclipse, a glory skill that generates glory per darkness you generate, and since all of shadow's skills are multi-hitting you will raplidly generate darkness to be able to stay in permanent stealth from Eclipse, benefitting from all the ambush and stealth bonuses for all of your skills for maximum edgelord gameplay.
