Level 73 Freezing Pulse Shadow^{3.25.alternate}

Notes

Start as a Witch and finish the "Breaking Some Eggs" quest around level 3-4.
This quest gives you the Summong Raging Spirits skill gem and makes it so you can buy new gems from Nessa.
Buy Holy Flame Totem and Raise Zombie for 2 Scrolls of Wisdom.
Now put everything in your stash tab and make a new Shadow character and follow the gem setups in the PoB!

Ascendancy selection order
1 - Malevolent Strands
2 - Skincrawlers
3 - Broodguard
4 - Threadspinner 
5 Silkdancer (Replace Broodguard with Silkdancer after you swap to Chains of Command)

=== CAP RES & DEX WITH GEAR ===
Spectres: Use Carnage Chieftains from act 2 

You want one ghastly eye jewel with taunt on hit and one with blind on hit 

Dont use AG until gem level at least lvl 18, 

Try to keep around 30-40 mana unreserved even if it means not maxing vitality aura.

LOW BUDGET NOTE
Your AG is still squishy in this stage.
OK to farm T16, but not suggest to do T17

Testudo is a very cheap anoint you can get early for high attack block chance, block recovery and 30 life each time you block an attack.
You want to anoint As the Mountain later for more block chance.

Dont level vitality to high.

Buy a Vaal haste.

MEDIUM BUDGET NOTE

Use Mask of Stitiched Demon on your AG ASAP!!,  so you can go T17.
Can also use Garb of the Ephemeral on your AG body to become crit immune.
