Lv96 Poutsos' Flicker Nuke - Outdated

ZXWC - Hey there mate,and thanks.In my personal opinion,Vaal Pact is the best defense CI melee can have.For a long time i didnt have it either back in May,but only after i specced into it i realised how it really is.Also about Iron Reflexes,u need grace for it to work,and as i see,u do use grace instead of discipline.Well,i don't even remember the last time i died to physical damage,honestly.It should be somewhere level 86 or so.However elemental damage is way more dangerous in the game,and armour won't help u at all there.
About your tree,dual strike is less mana intensive than flicker,isnt it?Do you really need the mana passives up there on the witch part of the tree?Cause if you don't there isnt really any reason to go there.For 4 points,you get pressure points for 50% crit chance,30% multiplier,4% attack speed,and you can spent the other 2 for +60% intelligence for 12% ES.This way u gain the same crit chance that power charge gives,but this is costant,4% more ES,than your 40 intelligence u have from that path,and the multiplier and attack speed.However i understand if you need the mana/mana regen.I do need it for flicker,but i didnt need these points for dual strike.


MortalKombat3 - I have told you my thoughts about it.I don't have Unwaverinng stance because i don't have an appropriate amulet right now.In order to just not lose anything,i need an amulet that gives 25 to all attributes(without it cant spec out of strngth),close to 70% multiplier and 15% ES.These to not lose anything.To make it work,i needed to have flat physical,accuracy and crit chance or life leech.If i get such an amulet,i will specc there,but it is not my priority to buy it right now.Another reason for not going in there,unless the amulet is really great,is that i run alot with my cousin,who uses a ultra buffed grace,which gives me over 45% chance to evade,which synergizes great with my 40% block.I know that evasion is not very much respected here,but i tell you,i do see a huge difference,concering the times that i do get hit,when he is near me.
The fact that with your build, UW is just there on your way to VP,and u get it for 1 point,is just a huge plus that my build doesnt have

Well,he seems pretty tough,but i have never died to him.Solo he is a cakewalk,because the real thread is not the boss on its own,but the totems,and as a flicker destroy them,so it is mostly face roll,regardless of rolls.In parties,it can be tough,especially if u are using double strike.In good fuctioning party,rangers or casters,should take care of the totems,while melee character rush and straight tank the boss,with a few topaz flasks that remove shocked.That being said,because my damage is high enough to use flicker even in full parties,i just flicker as well,and the good thing is that shit is spawning all around,thats easy to kill,so it is easy keep charges up.So far,nothing in this game can kill me while flickering,except vaal smash,and maybe Dominus hand of god in palace with - res

Ah... I didnt realize that the damage could vary that much, although I am still able to solo lvl 70 maps atm.

Here is my gear:
Spoiler


My passive tree is the same as ur lvl 76-77 post.


Hey mate,your gear is pretty good.Lack of DPS is due to dagger.your dagger has very decent crit base,but it s overally DPS is very low.Upgrade that whenever you find the currency and an appropriate dagger.Rest of gear looks pretty fine as well,although your resistances seem to suffer abit.Magnate and death rush are extremely cool,but only if u have already capped resists.Sacrifse one of them to cap your resists.I think you should propably keep death rush and remove magnate for now.Look for a high resist rustic sush


Thanks for getting back to me. I have a few questions...
My resistances are 48/49/20--I will be trying to find a better rare ring to complement my death rush. In regards to your first reply, you said I dont use power charges? I've been using LS to get power charges along with whirling blades... Do you recommend me getting an Auxium belt vs magnate?

According to forum mods "sandwich" is considered an offensive word. Who knew?
Badmon - You need to have capped resists,even if you have to use 2 rare rings and a rare belt.If your gear allows you to have capped resists,with using uniques that dont provide resistances then fine :D.Death rush is awasome due to the 4% life leech,high accuracy,and of course the 20% attack speed on kill is huge.My suggestion is to keep it for now and find a high resist rare belt.If your resists are still not capped,then use a rare ring as well.
Now on the magnate VS auxium.Magnate is better at everything,except cold damage.It gives more DPS,the highe strength that provides allows you to not take strngth passives,and has the awasome increased flask recovery.However post level 88,you just cannot risk a death related to freeze/chill,which can be pretty dangerous,so there is where auxium starts becoming mandatory.Up to then,i d prefer the magnate

After i had to sell almost everything valuable i had,including all my 75-78 maps,and alot of frustration,and being close to abandon the game,at least temporarily,i manage to craft my 6L.THe ES is low,cause the last mod of flat ES,just wasnt coming,but it still a major upgrade.I kept 2 imprints to work further on it in the future cause now i am exhausted



Also will upgrade right now screenshots.My final gem is additional accuracy,which caps my crit chance and increases my hit chance to 92%(almost 93%)
