your current shadow form build is flawed as you dont have an immediate way out. Also you will have problems kiting ppl as well as having energy management problems. Also a shadow form sin only has enough time to take out either one or two high priority targets, so in AB this means MM's, ele's, rits, etc.
This is my current shadow form AB build
Golden Phoenix Strike
Fox Fangs
Twisting Fangs
Arcane Echo
Shadow Form
Dash
Shadow of Haste
Shadow Refuge / Caltrops
Depending on how im feeling, i either run with self heals or not. OFten I run with Caltrops just for the thrill of having no self heal. This build is perfect for AB giving one the ability to effectively take out MM's, air spikers, even noob tanks who like to use frenzy as their ONLY stance. This build gives me a way in to get to my target, the power to kill my target, and a way out of a bad situation, in fact shadow of haste is possibly one of the most useful skills in the game.
If you question dash then your a noob.
Dash > Shadow Hate > dash is the combo your looking for, im not going to explain anymore than that. Its the way i get out of bad situations
This build is supe reffective in AB, ive used it constantly for 2 weeks to see if anyone would bring any specific builds to counter it and ive only seen 2 constantly used builds that give everyone trouble. R/N Touchers and multiple flame bursters.
If you have the right equiptment and attributes set the right way, when you get the timing down shadow form can last you for up to 45 secs.
I have played in AB however with a guildy where we ran the duo shadowform builds and the max time we came up with that one can stay in shadow form is 1:55.
With nightfall this can actually be extended.
