Lv96 Poutsos' Flicker Nuke - Outdated

hey guys, flicker is not dead, just need to re arrange your tree to get to vaal pact. I been clearing 77+ maps in solo and groups as flicker no problem. You will need to be at least level 80+ though to have enough points to move around. this weapon helps a shit load too.

will be posting a guild to a ridiculous insane COE build i have going with


passive skill tree that keeps this build alive is http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYABX0OPA5IES8RlhRxFdcWvxcvHNwdFB4aJOEoKij6KjgsvzBUNj026DpSPI5DY0ZxRwZV1lZjVupW9VfJWK9Y9VnzX2pjQ2TnZp5wUnBWcNVxTXKpeA1943_GgKSDCYauh9uIQohrj0aQG5J9kyeX0JhvmVeZmpoTms-do53En8uly6Z_pwinNKlurKqxs7QMtMW1SLb3tzG4k7k-wBrAUcHFwuzDbdeG2t3bbtvU44Tlz-oY6rrrY-vu7BjtQfLh8-r3Mvjr-tL7Rfyr_5M=

flicker is not dead, but now (seems to me) it's very "high dagger-dps" dependent...and not for killing stuff, but for survive... :/

Binos is a very viable end game substitute for ppl who can't afford a mirror dagger.

Hey guys,i worked my self to make this build viable again.it can be but unfortunately now is even more gear depended and expensive.However the potential are very high.completely overhauled the guide.Now i use the templar road to US,VP.I explain in the guide the reasons why,and it allowed me with less damage passives to use the RRRRGB combination(that i got with much pain),without having sever mana issues and ended up with more DPS and ES

Here is a new video i made after i leveled.Watch me detroy Olmec Sanctum :D

Edit: And another one just now.Torture Chamber double boss + -24% to max res

Few simple questions:
- Why do you avoid Deadly Precition cluster? It gives +120% increased crit chance and 6% AS for 4 nodes (30% CC for node).
- Why did you taken +1 Power Charge when you dont use PCoC gem? You could take +16% accuracy instead, which is much better, than nothing.
- Why you didnt taken any %mana nodes? It makes Dream Fragments mandatory just because of mana, and you will need shitloads of mana from your gear, too. You skipped Arcane Efficiency cluster, too.
- And ehat about accuracy? Why dont take Eagle Eye instead of Flaying, for example?

Hey man,let me answer your quietions
-I do use power charge gem on lightning strike like i always have.It is for me the most efficient way.I get them from distance+i shock them,and i need LS anyway to deal with reflect more safely.
-I did not take deadly presicion because my crit chance is 95% with charges,so this would be overkill.However i have set my eyes on it for PvP where you cannot get them.
-With 21% reduced reservation,i am sitting with 240 free mana which lets me to flicker as fluently as before,when i was using additional accuracy.I don't need dream fragments,since i did not use it at all and leveled from 93-94.Remember that my playstyle is not perma flicker.I perma flickered with shavrones and MF to get my gear back,and this style does not suit me.
-Yeah accuracy is an issue.I have 87% chance to hit which is not great,but still acceptable.On my way to 94,i did not notice any severe troubles with accuracy,but if i do this will change and will get more accuracy from the tree.Good thing is that i have accuracy on every possible spot on my gear

I might take deadly presicion on next level though.Remove bloodthirst and the bandit reward(18% physical is pathetic) and get it.

If you aim to have 95% crit chance, then 87% accuracy isnt great. Well, against mid-level maps it might do the job, but i dont think you care about those anyway. What you really care, are high-level maps, probably with Enfeeble roll - and that's the place where %increased accuracy (like Eagle Eye cluster) would shine. Gear gives you flat accuracy, so percentage increase from gear will be even more benefitial. Should i remind you, that 87% accuracy means you got 24% LESS chance to crit when hitting foe? I think, at your level, consistency is much better, than raw power.
Oh, BTW, if you will get those OP atziri gloves, you will be able to free a bulk of nodes!

Yeah,the atziri gloves is another reason i chose the templar path :D.I can get rid of vaal pact while keeping unwavering stance with much less wasted points.
As for accuracy,i had your concerns as well.Thats why i waited to level from 93 to 94 to test.I ve played only 74-78 maps(mostly 76-78),including many enfeeble maps,and accuracy did not gave me any considerable problems.Thats why i decided to keep it as it is.Raw power is important for leeching,and not just killing fast.When i get more life leech on my gear,i think i ll look upon accuracy again

It's great to see this guide updated for 1.1.

I have 1 question though. Why does the build not take any frenzy charges?

Edit: Nvm, I see that the build is optimized for double strike.

That is one thing,to be versatile between flicker and double strike.The other reasonis,due to the passives and the gem choice,the build provides huge burst damage on flicker,which means that u really don't need more than 4 frenzy charges to maintain flickering around.One extra from the bandits is enough.Another thing is that more charges provide more speed which makes it more difficult to deal with mana.However if anyone feels like he needs an extra frenzy,he can of course take the one in the shadow area
