The idea is very good, but unfortunately I do not see possibility of playing with an Elementalist without Wizard 3.
5 days casting Electocute and Hail and being stopped several times by any archers attack.
Playing with Elementalist without QuiskCast is very bad, but playing without SureSpell is impractical.

yep, ele3 NEED wiz 3… or GL with casting any spell 
still lock 3 can be better than shadow 2… we will see soon 
Warlock c3 should just be this:
Demonology, demon transformation. Like druid c3.

My New build 
Shadowmancer Skills:
Shadow C1 can be a great stapple class for survivability and some single target damage, but Shadow C2 is really lackluster.
Out of his 6 total skills, the only 3 good ones are already from C1, and they are fine at lvl 5.
no useful attributes yet either. Warlock seems to be causing "fear’ now with new attributes.
Now that levelling takes much less time, im starting to think about a wizard alt.
I want a dark wizard styled character, but without summons of any sort. And I like the idea behind shadowmancer. I want the build to be able to do some damage, but supporting is nice too.
What do you think about Wiz2-Link2-Thaum2-War1-Shad2? Not sure if Wiz2 is even needed.
Only PvE, not sure if ET-compatible. Can you comment on ET? I have little experience with wizards. Thanks.
Wizard c2 is not needed in this build, but if you want to go for Linker c2 there is no good option for rank 2. You can take Cryo c3 instead of Linker for supporting. Warlock c1 is bad since you don’t have the attribute for Mastema, I think Warlock c2 > Shadowmancer c1 would give way better dps. Or you could go for Thaum c3, but then you only have three damage skills…
It’s possible to do ET with almost anything, the problem will be find a party that accept you. If you try to build with dps and support in mind there will always going to be someone who can deal more damage than you and someone who can provide better support for the party, and sadly some people only want players with meta builds.

You can totally skip the wiz 2 side (no skill with charge time there). Linker’s not that needed or good in group play ever sicne the hit limit got super nerfed back then. It’s more of a farming tool now.
Wiz Cryo 3 Thauma 2 - Thauma 3/Warlock1 - Shadowmancer, probably works better in terms of pure PvE build. You’ve got cryo 3 por group support via mob control and thaumaturge for super useful + damage buffs (no buf flimit anymore!). Then your own damage comes from Shadowmancer and Warlock 1 if you wish some extra (longish CD) skills. They’are definetely viable for current content (up to 40th Solmiky) and rather welcome at it, but can’t say much regarding any future pve group content.
Truth be told, one extra cryo tree ~ pass > pretty much anything else once you have a good healer + 2 good DPS + 1 chrono in pt already.

Wiz 2: longer 'Sleep’
Pyro 1:enchant fire and fire wall buffs, and more filler skills
Cryo 1: can freeze enemies (almost single target)
I would go with pyro.
For the dark part, I prefer wl2 over shadow 2, because of mastema attribute.
Wouldn’t I want linker to do dmg with those singletarget Shadowmancer skills?
Playing solo, yes it can be useful. In party, the link will probably end before you can use anything.

It would be fun and fast for solo farm. But not a link/thaum. And for party play just fine but everyone will secretly wish you went full support.
And as far as hybrid bastardized supports you’ill still be consider a weaker version without lightning hands. The only time this build would beat out the carpet rubbers is with a mass of coordinated DPS/chronos cycling an unending supply of Pass.
But maybe someone will make my dream come true someday. And we’ill see a party with a trio of link/chrono/shadows some day.

Good news for all Linkers
Mob change: ALL joint penalty-resisting mobs will no longer resist joint penalty.
I have a question: is the skill Shadow Fatter canceled/does not work against buffs (PD, profecy, etc)? Can anyone test?
i really like this build

This debuff is lvl3, meaning that only Beak Mask has 80% resistance to it.

The link shows another skill debuff (shadow conjuration). Is It the same lvl as shadow Fatter?
