I just wanted to know your opinion on Flicker Strike

Flicker strike does not use 2 weapons, so to use it you should better have a shield. It requires more frenzy charges that 3 i have, and it cause a lot of nausia to the person playing the build :) If you like flicker strike you should follow the Invalsco Flicker Ninja guide, it is not practical to flicker with dual wield.

But is it worth using blood rage before getting CI as I think I am loosing more life from the debuff then I am leeching back atm lol.

You turn Blood rage on only after CI. Before CI you heal yourself with Life on Hit as i wrote in the leveling gude.

Hi Hi!

Hey, I'm lvl 44 so far, how did you manage to not get killed? I have to use granit potions for extra armor cause they are destroying me >.>

Also, how did u activate many auras with only 8 buttons >.>

You does not get killed because you oneshot your enemies and heal back while you do. Havig a high dps weapon and 4L-5L should be a priority. In a certain situations (extra damage aura, phys reflect, strong physical archers ets) you drink granite flask. You also should always have resistance cap.
As to auras, cycle them on one button, they do not turn off if you change what button does.

Man I want to say, you are a god, this build is awesome, the gameplay I think it's unique.

tyvm for sharing this with us.




( question ) Do I take vaal pack first or I wait till i have the life leech goes to ES?

I take Vaal Pact, Ghost Reaver and Chaos Innoculation at the same time.
You should read my leveling guide carefully, it's all there.

Out of curiosity, how much dsp do you loose when unequipping Maligaro's virtuosity ?

23K with Maligaro, 18.5K without them. So it's 4.5K

What am I doing wrong? I just get 1 hit killed by Vaal, i can't fight it.

I just want to say thanks for the build :D
I am currently lvl 55 with it and doing fairly well, just a bit squishy but I hope that will change once I get better es armor/resists.

For the main question I was wondering if its worth using many chromatic orbs to try and get the super hard 2 red, 1 green, 2 blue socket combo. I have already used 50~ with no luck :(

Also what gems would you consider top priority to get quality versions of for this build?

Vaal is designed in a way that all damage it does is extremly high but completly avoidable. You need to play carefully. When he rais his arm for a giant slam you run away. When he start to shoot lightnings you run around him because each lightning that hits you put a stack of shock at you. When he does anything else you attack him. There's a video on the forum where a lvl 1 character kills him. This is the only completley gear and build independant boss in the game.

I spent 150 chromatics to make BBRRG on my armor, but that's completley worth it, as melee dmg on full life give you a lot of dmg. You should get quality gems in this priority:
Melee Splash->Power Charge On Critical->Increased Critical Damage->Dual Strike->Melee Damage On Full Life.

Recently i asked myself - what if i my build was not the optional one, what if i can swap any of my dps gems in my 5L to an Increased Aoe Radius gem and just put all my points from templar and witch tree into more dps nodes.
So i made this kind of change that some ppls were suggesting to me and made some excel calculations.


As a result i won nothing in Total ES and lost:
-10 All Res
-100 mana (1000->900)
-3K dps (23400->20400)

So this experiment proved to me that my initial build is the optimum one and AOE gem + DPS nodes give less than DPS gem + AOE nodes.

its a nice build and I am currently trying this build. got one question, you mentioned that your dual strike has 56% increase AOE radius, 20% from melee splash gem,and another 36% should be from the passive tree,but dual strike skill is a melee attack skill,it actually doesn't has AOE effect on it, so I guess the increase AOE nodes from passive tree affect the melee spalsh gem and it links with dual strike gem in order to make the huge AOE radius? but it does not show at the tooltip? am I right? cos I am a little bit confused
