you can try lvl 7 celestal magic - levitation, same effect

Thanks for the response but that is not my question. I am trying to make a shadowlord build. But I do not know what are good first and second tier classes that go well with the ability.

I would do a female adept/mage enchantress/monk
this way you have a melee option where you don't have to invest into the skill or repair weapons and entangle will help you keep enemies at a safe distance.
I would recommend spells as the main focus of the build however.

you have inspired me and I think I am going to make this build now.

(instead of enchantress you could do valkyrie for Plate armor and polearm but I feel that might be redundant with shadowlord)
