This build is played as a bladedancer on the rogue class and takes advantage of spawning many shadows that can copy your skill shadow cascade to do huge HIT damage at 100% Crit rate in a Huge AoE. Its a very fast dodgy playstyle that can tackle the end game with ease!
Main Interactions
Stack Mana Regeneration so you can spam Synchronized Strike Spawning 4 shadows and having them all auto use shadow cascade
Stacking 100% Crit so everything hits HARD
Speed + Dodge to go fast and survive

Hey @boardman21, is there a reason there are some loot filter rules with 0 affixes? Or why some of the rules in the filter are not checked when you import it in-game?
Hi @boardman21 , I’m pretty new to LE and have been leveling a blademaster using your 1-75 shadow daggers guide. I’m currently level 54 and am wondering if that leveling guide is still up-to-date and ideal for leveling to 75 or if respecing to this build would be better.
Hello @boardman21 really appreciate the builds and guide can you make a 1-75/100 guide to build into this? Mainly coz I’m a new player and idk where to put the points and nodes into Thanks!
Synchronized Strike has a known framerate bug. It stops creating shadows if FPS is too low (around 10 for me). You can still get enough shadows from Shift/SB to clear mobs. Lethal Mirage is great single target with our 100% crit (Gloom & Doom/Pact of the Desert are traps).
Other notes:
Shadow Daggers isn’t worth it outside of Smoke Mine
(Shift) Lasting Presence/Dancing Shadows should be in the main builder
(Shift) Rebound/Emergency Flask is a nice “get out of jail free” combo
100% GB chance is possible with dual swords and Apostasy (and all GB/dodge nodes)
Crit cap items: Mercenary Leather Body Armor, Ancient Coins Relic, Copper Rings, “inc. crit chance per equipped sword” Grand Majasan Rogue idol
Not really. I had about 20% dodge in the base build and 50% for 1 second with Shift. GB was around 30% to start with, then 40% swords, and about another 30% with Apostasy. 100% GB is possible with just the dodge nodes on character trees (none crafted on gear).
It’s easy to replicate the bug; just play on any laptop with integrated graphics and an HDD.
Currently lvl 82 but getting one shot on Emperor of Bones in the lvl 85 quest/monolith Dragon one (can’t remember name of it) very frustrating. I seem to get one shot by the echo boss too - one at the end of the branches with the pyramid that launches all kinds of stuff at you.
in your lootfilter it says:
“WARNING: Unused Base Types and Non SENTINEL Class Items ARE HIDDEN”
i’m assuming that’s a copy-paste error from another guide?
695% crit multi is a helluva drug.
