Guide: Two hand Flicker strike with Oro's sacrifice. Hardcore viable.

Work in progress:

Two hand oro's sacrifice

I recently returnt to the game since i was bored of most other games i played and i wanted to try somethign new. I was scouting a little around and i original wanted to make a 2hand cycloner with oro's and a 5 or 6l chest.

I then realized how eazy it is to gain frenzy charges with oro's and i try flicker and i fall instant in love. I play it current on hardcore with a lvl 76 scion but it can be made as templar, dualist and maruader too. Marauder might be the most optimal for hardcore.


Note that this build as any other flicker strike build is highly risky on hardcore thanks to risk of desync and close to no control were you go. Its first time i try flicker and only played it from lvl 70 to lvl 76 so i am no expert at all.

Endgame viability
Its an entire new build to me and not taken the build in to anything but t2 maps(i am lvl 76)
I know for sure with some more levels and little better gear i can do up to t8 safe and proberly higher with kaom etc.

I hope you guys will help me test and teocraft on the build or flame it to the ground so I and others dont need to waste our time and money to make this build work for End game :D

Pro's
fast clear speed in farming content with close to no risk of die.
Play style is pretty eazy.
Very fun build.
High damage for cheap money
Extremely fast to boost people with.
Very cheap build(weap cost 1chaos, 5l chest 2 chaos, jewel 1 chaos, other items just need life and resist)

Cons
Expensive to get endgame gear compared to totem build etc.
Risky on some boss's were you need to manual move away from ability's (vaal, mala etc.) but it can be mastered.
Bad for group play if you ask me.
Hard to control what direction you flicker(to next random minion if none is targeted)
Risk of desync and even worse to get client crash(i had 4 client crash from 70-76, been told its my pc's fault)

Must have items:
Oro's sacrifice and Fireborn crimson jewel.
You can make a total diffrent buil and go to witch area to pick up fire dmg and then skip the fireborn jewel. I went 2hander nodes since it was what i used to lvl with :D(cyclone)


How the build work:
Spoiler
Its pretty simple, Oro's sacrifice make you able to gain a frenzy charge ea time you ignite a target. Flicker strike spend a frenzy charge to bypass its short cool down it normal have. This is also why we try get some extra ignite chance on passive tree and jewels to keep our frenzy charges on max for MORE dmg. I did start with only 25% ignite chance and its a bit to low for boss's. i am at 36% now and seems more then fine. In the start i used cyclone(not linked to anything) to proc ignite incase i ran out of frenzy.

You will get a frenzy charge ea time you re-apply ignite on the same target too, so your single target dmg is really good with this build.


Links
Spoiler
links for flicker:
4l: Flicker, Multistrike, melee splash, weapon elemental damage(use mana for flicker strike)
5l: add blood magic or firepenetration if you still can support with mana.
6l: add the fire pen or blood magic.
if you skip blasphemy/warlords mark combo you will proberly need life leech gem to sustain.

for all other links i am not sure.
you proberly want the standard CWDT setup with immortal call etc but to be fair, i dont like to lose all my enduring charges.
Any idea's here are welcome.

cast flicker of Mana instead of bloodmagic gem is an option with 6l too if you take Dynamo and Righteous and only run anger(or grace) + blasphemy with warlords mark for life and mana steal.

Using bloodmagic keystone is also an option, then use life leech instead of BM gem and skip auras and use enduring cry for charges. With kaom it might be worth it, tnx to the 35% life cluster.


Aura's:
Spoiler
I run warlords mark with blasphemy as my lifesteal and enduring charge generator(because i am lazy and it give a faster and more smooth clear speed)
2nd aura i use is anger. I will proberly be using grace in tier 5 maps or higher.

I use leapslam for fortify buff when needed (i am to lazy to keep 100% uptime) I even considered to use it with flicker, even tho we dont get any damage from it.

It is an option to skip blashemy and use leapslam, fortify, enduring charge on melee stun, blood magic to generate enduring charges and keep fortify up and link flicker with life leech. This save you 35% mana reserve and make you able to run Grace and Anger. Enduring cry is another option for enduring charges.


With enlightment, conqueror's efficency, ALpha's howl and mana reserve passives like sovereignty or champion of the cause its possible to run a 3rd aura. https://poe.mikelat.com/ is a great tool to calculate exacly what items, gems, jewels and passives you need to get ur 3rd aura.

I am still debating if its worth to run a 3rd aura. 3rd aura's that is worth to consider:
Artic armour
Grace
determination


My Gear
Spoiler

As you can see on my items they are from FAR optimal and several of them are very eazy to improve.
I was lucky to get the 6l oro's for 7ex, i had to lend currency from some friends to get it(just started the league)
links in my items are not optimized either. Same goes for flasks.



Budget option:
Spoiler
Any Oro's sacrifice with 5l chest.
4l is viable but 5l chest is so cheap these days that anyone should be able to afford it.
For rare chest go for high armour and life and any resist you can afford same for helm.
use gloves and boots to fix your resist. If you started form scion the way i did you should not have resist problems at all.

in worst case pick up diamond skin at marauder.
6l is a really nice dmg boost, on standard i would proberly use tabula rasa.
I did start with a tabula rasa before i invested in the 6l oro's i got now(to see if i like the build)
as long you play in dried lake and got 4500 life nothing can 1 shot you and i feel its prefecly safe to run tabula there.


Optimal items:

Spoiler
Chest/weap: 6l Oro's sacrifice with kaoms heart
6l belly or lightning coil with any amount of links on weapon could be another option that some preffer.
Belt: Doryani's Invitation, fire variation. the increased fire dmg and 10% chance to ignite is really nice and the life leech is a fine bonus too. For tankyness get any rare belt with high Life, armour and any resist you need.

Helm: Rare helm with high armour or eva + max life and resist or Alpha howl to run a 3rd aura.
Boots: Same as helm. +1 frenzy charge is insanely good. Movement speed is welcome too.
Gloves: same as helm.
Jewelry: High life, weapon elemental dmg, added fire dmg and increased fire damage % is all very good.
Jewels i preffer to get 3% chance to ingite and X % max life and any dmg increase i can get.

Note. getting int and dex on items can be really nice since you can save the 30 int and 30 dex nodes on passive tree and spend the passive point on something else.

Can you please update the passive tree?
https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAwAA8pebXaiae8NaUkrIbqq18jWSeA3-j9i9wBpN4_4KqW5vO6ZXtz7yRXfjeWg64TGeg8wB3MEEPC2E2V8_g1_Grkd-qZT2SBQgxPa9NodqeHqMz-8OcqllTaknPfxQR_cyrKq-p4TvWGPqGHzZWfOwq9rBoup2rPjrGjhyD8SCQzF07S5TEuHPfrvt890UcZBVlG9xhYrwwzMFLdNvrY2Rzmhl2XwnL2ZUVynzEelGWhp674IHOthG17FCQKDyQTKJIWBeE3fldPEhVVfiKaXcPe0gB3WCm-FzwKaaO6IAn9_wHwSz73xo8sBm

something like this if scion, would proberly make it as chiftain now(marauder)
scion should work too, not sure what ascendence is best.

not planning to keep the post updated(atleast not now)
playing bow in the new league.


passive tree can proberly be improved a bit. skip the "worst" life nodes in the early lvls and the jewel sockets.

not sure what accendance to go for as scion. proberly the 15% ignite and then slayer or champion.
