Naramon: Shadow Step mostly just wants you to have Blood Rush and Body Count. The Kavat that increases your crit chance is also very useful, and then I'd try to use a melee weapon with at least 15% critical hit rate. Whichever route you take perma-invis is really easy to obtain and you can basically cheese the entire game forever once you have it set up.

From there Ash mostly just wants energy for Bladestorm so Arcane Energize and Primed Flow can both be really helpful additions. Consider Fatal Teleport if you plan on doing lv 100+ content so that you can minimize the amount of time you spend smashing your face against the wall that is armor scaling.

Arcane Trickery can still be a good option if you prefer to go with Zenurik's energy regeneration to cover your butt when you're coming out of Bladestorm. These periods of 'not-bladestorm' are likely to be a lot longer once Ash's Bladestorm receives its' rework, so keep it in mind.

Essentially Shadow Step will give you the most boring flavor of melee combat available, where as Zenuriks' passive energy regeneration can allow you easy access to the most boring ult spam available. Decide which flavor of no-risk gameplay and go cheese your way through the game. Shadow Step is probably the "safest" option, since it can't be turned off by sudden energy denial enemies.
