KimiiG's Low Life Flicker 2.2 Perandus. 4 Aura, double Curse 640k+ DPS
|
This is my first guide and my first Low life Shadow flicker guide for Perandus league. I don't speak native English so i might have some typos here and there. This guide is extremely Fun to play and it has indcredibly fast clear speed on maps and everything just melts on your way. With Ascension expansion Low life Shadow flicker builds are again viable option to play. My guide includes 4 auras, double curses and it has option to run 5 auras if necessery, if you run trickester as subclass.
This guide dosen't require expensive and mirrored gear to work, it only requires 6l- shavronne's wrapping(Might be doable with 5l), which is going 14ex+ on Perandus at current time. My gear cost about 20exalt at top, so it has huge room for improvement! I Don't even have a Taste Of Hate at the time i'm writing this guide. Adding later more info when i aquire one. I also don't have fully leveled and upgraded gems yet!  Stats with auras and charges: 326k+ DPS

 Pro's & Con's
Pro's
- Really fun to play - One of the fastest clear speed on POE - Not dying easily - Can run almost any map under 2-3min. - Flasks up all the time
Con's
- Need 4/5-offcolor Shavronne's Wrappings - Expensive to get top tier gear - Desync - Need to pop certain flask on Boss fight to nuke it down -> Awarness on play - Uses lots of Maps Volcano T10 map
Gameplay
Basic elements and theory We'r running 4 auras and double curse as soon as we get Shavronne's wrapping. I'm currently lvl 83, so we still have many points left to use on our passive skill tree. We have currently 6300+ ES, 3 Endurance charge, 5 Frenzy charge and 5 Power Charge, 82,5% critt chance and over 720 critt multi. We need our curses to keep Power and Endurances charge up, so we use Herald Of Thunder (HoT) and Curse on Hit (CoH) to keep them up. We run Four auras: 1)Herald of Ash 2)Herald of Thunder 3)Hatred 4)Discipline Two curses; 1)Assasin's Mark 2)Warlord's Mark We need Doedre's Damning Paua ring to run double curses, it cost usually few chaos. Try to get one Vaaled with +12 weapon elemental damage. - We use Blood Rage to get Frenzy charges. It gives huge attack speed bonus & life leech and you take 4% of your maximum energy shield as physical damage. It takes a lot of damage per second, especially if you have abyssus, but it doesn't matter since you can easily keep leeching more life than it takes to keep it up. - We use Assasin's Mark to get Power Charges and because of additional Critical Chance (9%). Also cursed enemies takes 20% more crit. damage so this curse is a HUGE one! Life & Mana bonus from kill is just a Plus. - Warlord's Mark we use to obotain Endurance Charges and because of 2% life leech it gives, which we need to keep Blood Rage up. Our defensive mechanism is really good! We have good amount of ES, nice evasion via Rumi's and gear and we have Immortal call to keep us alive. Our life leech is huge, we run all the time with full ES shield while in combat. If you don't die on one hit, you don't die at all, since you regen your ES to full in one flicker strike. We also have Fortify in our whirling blade, so you take 20%less damage next 4 second. We use Trickester as Ascension subclass, which provide us huge ES and evasion bonus. Also Walk the Aether gives us opportunity to run 5 aura if we want to. It solves our mana problem since Flicker and whirling blades are both movement skills. Gear My current gear: Next levels i try to obotain as many jewels as possible. We need one Put it under "Melding" Passive and for rare jewels try to get something like this one: What do we need and want for gear? Our main goal is to get Critical Strike chance over 90% and Crit multi as much as we can. i've currently 82,5 (+9% on cursed mob via Assasin's Mark) Critical chance and 720+ Critt multi and when i've Diamond flask on i crit all the time and everything just melt under my way. We also want to buy Taste of Hate and Rumi's Concoction for our flasks to add some damage and boost our defensive mechanism.

" Gems boost damage a lot. You need only blood magic gem over lvl 19 so you can use blood magic - Hatred combo in shield. Otherwise gems boost only damage, and build works great w/o max lvl max rarity gems :) Last edited by KimiiG#7298 on Mar 23, 2016, 4:38:57 AM

" hmm what about single target damage? |
|
" We use flicker strike as much as possible on single target. If you run out of frenzy charges, you use Frenzy skill to get your frenzys back up and then spam flicker again. Good Point, i put later on more info about boss fights. Usually when you enter boss room you have 5 frenzy charges and you just nuke it down before boss have time to do anything. When map is twinned, you probably need to hit few times with Frenzy to get charges back up and finish 'em off Last edited by KimiiG#7298 on Mar 23, 2016, 5:04:18 AM

" thank you for answer I began to build :D can you share levelling skill tree? |
|
" I'll write leveling section later. But i don't recomment leveling with flicker strike until 50's or so. I used reave until i switched to flicker strike somewhere end of normal act and beginning of cruel. I farmed "The Ledge" with flikker and got 10 levels in hour or so. You Switch to low life after you get shavronnes, until then you take life node and regal them off once you obotain shavronne's. This build start to shine after lvl 62, when you can wear shav |
