2.0 Universal Shadow crit CI flicker strike build - Flicker is not dead!!!

Hi. I try to follow but now I level 58.
I already up Chaos Inoculation/ Grost Reaver.
My maximum life is 1 and my energy shield is 1000+.
and I use blood rage for this. after I use blood rage and I'm standing then I die because of suicide.
very confused. can u help me with this please. Thanks

Now that I have tried this build for myself. I think i can give a good review of this build.

+ Pro's
Fast clearing low lvl maps
fun until you get bored

- Con's
Random 1 shot's makes it hard to level and no fun
hard'ish to get the build working
Blind,freeze or stun = death
I almost gave up twice on this build
not for new players

*Important key point's of this build ( in my opinion )
Get at least 3k es and +60% block ( got 13% spell block and i'm not missing my stone of lazwhar )
Mana pool and leech needs to big enough to keep flickering. ( 4% leech +- 700 mana )
A 6 link and / or 5-6k dps flicker( 1-3 shotting is important )
Immortal call + enduring cry + codt ( staying alive )
lvl 75+




Gear I used to lvl


Current gear


My tree


Future tree


As you can see This doesn't have to be a 150 ex build. But it can be.
I think i spent 3-4ex + 20c on my gear - My dagger is self crafted.
The rest of my currency that i found I spent on quality gems.
I deal 7.8k DPS with flicker strike and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
I'm intrested to see what this build would do with:
a 6 link solaris lorica
Herald of Ash + Herald of Ice on life ^^

Thanks for your reply, mate!

But why don't you use Whirling blades??? It'll improve your survilability A LOT!
I'm at level 86 and had zero problems leveling up... If you don't go to hard-suffixes maps (they just give more items drop but NO more exp). All maps even 75-76 are easy.

As you are using Tabula - what is your evasion/armour??? I think it's very low and you only can survive due to high block, right? Try to buy good 5L es/evasion chest.

3k es is very low too, you need at least 4k to feel comfortable.

- Tried to make a point, that you can make this build work on a budget :)
- Whirling blades ?? don't feel like it :) Don't need the movement speed or the survive-ability.
- Even with a tabula i managed to got this working. I agree I could use a lot more evasion.
And it will probably increase my survive-ability. I currently have 1.1k evasion :p
Witch is way to low, but it works :)
- My 3k es is currently so low because of carnage hearth and I still have 5 ES/evasion nodes to grab :)

Overall this is a very good build, and very solid. Its also very fun to play.
As Your first character of the league I would not recommend it but it is possible.
It costs a bit currency but it's not insanely expensive. As my build variation shows.

In any dangerous situation you use Whirling blades and do not die =) You can see it on my videos. Easy :)

i see that you said that Aegis would work well....why would you put a point into IR before using it?

Because Aegis Aurora replenishes Energy Shield by 2-4% of your total armour when you block, so the more armour you get, the better. IR converts your evasion (with all bonuses from tree) into armour.

o yea....duh...lol

Also when i was looking through at what we should look at on gear you missed belts :)

hello!

nice build, im at the end of first act merc, but i start to feel im to weak for it with my ES..
how much ES i need to do CI ?

:)
