[1.2.1.2] Freeze! HC SSF beginner cold DW spellbreaker - suitable for first char + Leveling guide!

Hey,

First off, I’m leveling with this in HC right now, and I love it. I’m 35 and my shadowstrike is level 1 +10. It’s up to about 15k dmg. I’m just curious as to why I wouldn’t (or you wouldn’t) max out shadowstrike? Is it just not used as often or not a main source of damage later on? Every +level it gets seems to HUGELY increase its damage.

Thanks!

Sup, buddy! Ty for the reply! Surely you can focus on Shadow Strike for leveling too, it’s a great skill on early levels

I found that shadow strike one-shotted most enemies while leveling anyways, so boosting the damage was really only useful against bosses. It required a lot of points to get AoE damage and reduced CD, whereas ABB and RoS have AoE built in, and that AoE scales better. This was my first character though, so maybe I missed something with my modifications. I moved back to the guide’s build after briefly trying a shadowstrike focused build while leveling.

I actually agree with you. I got my shadow strike to level 26 and almost 100k dmg, which is awesome, but at the same time, I felt like I didn’t need it and the constant damage from upgraded ABB with the ~ 50k or so shadow strikes is plenty. I’m 58 now and starting to veer the focus away from SS a bit more.

cara acredito que ela continua performando bem no atual patch!
quanto à facção em homestead, pode ser sim qualquer uma das duas, não interfere no leveling nem no endgame pra esse char

cara eu acho que pode sim trocar tranquilamente. Usei essa de ugdenbog mais por conta da redução de resistência mesmo, acredito que melhore seu dano a arma de amatok

acabo que eu dropei um amarastan crusher e to usando com a ugdenbog, naquela sua variação de spam ABB. Divertido dms kkkkk, vo usar essa ate farmar os itens…

What do you think about Witch Moon vs Mythical Crescent Moon? The latter has +1 Nightblade which seems better. I don’t have the Amarastan Crusher yet :frowning:

pretty sure it can be a decent option too.

in this case i would invest more points on ABB and SS than in RoS
