[3.0] How to Flicker. Terminus Est Edition!

Ha. My ripper is exactly what I play the most for mapping.

Just looking for a little different play style, hence looking at this build. Of course that ripper is a glass cannon (huge evasion and insta leech but still) and gets eaten by real bosses like guardians. Pretty sure even with the gear you mention that you can't face tank with that build.

I do have currency to buy legacy stuff if any of that improves this build. Already have the (now legacy) acuity's.

Thx for the response.

The problem for the build lies in the Flicker Strike itself. You are litteraly on top of the boss to do damage. If you want to keep doing damage, you have to stay on top of him. With the various mechanics the bosses and arenas have, being a bit away from that big thing is sometimes the right decision. Just not possible with this build. You lose your Frenzy Charges, Power Charges, Blood Rage runs out and the DPS is gone. So unless you can crank up the DPS past the million mark (which is about perfect gear for this build) so the boss dies fast enough to skip those mechanics, facetanking is to say the least: complicated.

Not to dissuade you from this build, it is a lot of fun and probably exactly what you are looking for in the mapping department. Not in the Guardian department though.

PS: I hate pointing out other builds while in a thread for a specific build, but maybe a Barrage/KB Wander is what you are looking for?

The guide says you can switch out flicker for viper on bosses. Does that solve the issue and make this the type of build I was describing?

While swapping out Flicker Strike for any other green Melee Attack skill that works with swords is certainly possible, your damage will be lower for sure. Lower damage means less leech, means longer fights, means more chance to run out of charges/flasks, means over all less fun.

Now there is no issue that the right gear couldn't fix. Especially with all the Abyss Jewels and Shaper/Elder items going around. I am sure there is some combination of gear and stats out there, that lets you have all the tankines while having decent clear speed even with this build. But at some point it just becomes cheaper and less complicated to roll different characters for different things. I see this build as a mapping build. If I want a boss killer/facetank, I would play something else.

I got huge problems with game crashing while playing flickerstrike. i have tried to google for things to do but i cant find anything that actually helps. anyone else have the same problem?
I have lockstep on since some guy said that should help

A big thing to remember is that i am not using abyssus for helmet. With iron reflex i get about 36% damage mitigation off 6k armour completely unbuffed. Here's the fun part:

1)each frenzy charge now grants extra armour instead of evasion

2)lion's roar, arctic armour, fortify.

My armour with lion's roar jumps up to about 15k because the double dipping nodes on the tree. With arctic and fortify it is very easy to reach 80%+ damage mitigation. This is all with my res capped(not with elemental weakness yet, unfortunately). In fact i no longer put up fortify at all unless the map has particularly nasty mods

Hi Awks, I´ve been tryin to follow your steps, but keeping abysus becouse the dps and crit chance, but I´m far away from this 70%, can you take a look at my char and give me some advises please! Thanks!

Hi yeah, you gotta open your profile to public tho

Sorry, done!

Know that the crit chance on terminus is localized, meaning that it is the base crit that gets modified by all of your other crit chance modifiers. You absolutely cannot settle with a 60% when max rolls 75%

Are atziri's acuity still good for the build if youre trying to get this to endgame?

No, vaal pack got reworked and sunk acuity with it.
