Quick Guide to Shadow Knight Levelling
Level 1-43:
Doom Knight tree for levelling, choose basically whatever you have fun with. Crescent cleave is a strong all rounder, and you get nice satisfying damage spikes when you press the button.
Level 43+:
Then, as soon as you get enough talents to unlock a capstone, respec to go full Zealot (1 Int, 1 Sanguin, 19 Remphan, 10 Weapon Master, 10 Super Remphan, then 1+ in Delirium).
Endgame:
Shadowbreak build is best (45ish in Zealot (Remphan and Delirium), max out all Shadowbreak, rest into various viable options (Strength valid, or push for the Blood Knight capstone for better sustain)) – You can make a 2-hander, 6/6 Set piece build work (Combination of 41+ Doom Knight + 41+ Zealot – focus on Remphan, Crescent Cleave, a bit of Doom Thrust) but, at time of writing, whenever you get an enchanter in group, you can super-spam shield break and your DPS goes through the roof.
The 2-hander build gets left behind, with those buffs, and they’re common enough that you might as well stick with Shadowbreak. It’s a little less DPS solo than 2-hander, but much better sustain, so it’s a great build solo anyway. And WAY better with group buffs.
But Shadowbreak is also very boring to play. Better as a background game listening to podcasts or whatever if you go Shadowbreak.
If you wanna be more active, or play solo more often, dont find enchanters with haste, or just want to play a more interesting game, (or enchanter haste has been nerfed since I wrote this) I would recommend the 2 hander build.
If you wanna grind better, go Shadowbreak and find a good podcast.
