Hi, currently im looking info about gear for shadow lair.
I dodnt found some kind of ultimate guide or sth :)
Just some discussions, where there are pointed different kind of gear 'sets'.
I have never been to sl, so ill be starting from the beginning (if i craft the right gear).

Now i have:
- glacius/argent/fang of vog
- close to polaris/shiver/blitz/divine avenger (havent decided yet how to use my crowns :)
- vog set
- owlite 5* shield/crest of almire

I like playing with sword, but i like removing turrets with a gun.

So 'Dread Skelly Shield' and 'Valkyrie Helm' should be my first choices ? And the weapons ?

If i want Snarbolax Set i need 4 runs to get material needed (Nightmare Mane) ?

wiki Shadow Lair

Have you read the wiki article "Shadow Lair"? It offers basic equipment advice. There are four Shadow Lairs, with very different ideal equipment. Which one are you going to try? Is it Shadow Gloaming Wildwoods? Quick reading of the "Shadow Lair" article reveals that some of your equipment is appropriate and some is not. Have you searched Google for the many, many threads about this topic?

You need to do only two runs to get the two materials needed to craft the two pieces of Snarbolax armor. Or you can buy one material ahead of time from another player, and craft both pieces of armor on one trip.

Edit: Simplified link.

It'd be much easier if you'd

It'd be much easier if you'd post the Shadow Lair you're going to do, but I assume that it's Snarby judging by set you want to craft. You need 2 pieces of Nightmare Mane to craft full set, you'll get 1 obviously from your run so I advise you to buy 2nd one from someone who's in your party or from Auction House before the run.

About the gear, Vog set won't help you much beside ASI bonus, much more viable option would be Skolver, you'll struggle against all undead monsters there but you'd get the edge during boss fight which can cause troubles. But if you'll be very careful you can stick with your Vog, smaller cost. From your 2 shields better option is Crest of Almire, more common options are Barbarous Thorn, Dread Skelly shields, but you can save CE by going with CoA.

For weapons, you'd be really happy with piercing sword, Final Flourish is the most common option and recipes are in Hall of Heroes. From what you have/you're close to have, both Glacius and Argent Peacemaker are viable choices, if you have 2 slots you should pick a piercing sword and Argent Peacemaker as 2nd (3rd: Glacius/Divine Avenger, 4th: Polaris/Shivermist Buster).

that page

That page is good to read, but be aware that it discusses only the boss fight --- not the levels leading up to the boss fight, or the level after the boss fight. So you'll want to read "Shadow Lair" too.
