Hey Poutsos, what your thought about the Atziri's Splendour? I know it's expensive but the color is easier to roll since it a tri-stat piece, and the 100 Mana on Kill is kinda OP and fit the build nicely too.

Of course if you can afford acuity,it is always best to dump 2-3K chroms on a pure ES chest and roll the colours.

An ES chest with RRRRGB has to be the hardest to roll in the game. Currently there are 3 people that I know of in ambush rolling these colors and all are over 10k chromatics. 1 guy is over 25k. On the chest I currently have RRRRGB it was 5-6k after someone else gave up with who knows how many they tried.

1-2k ? You Troll to hard and are not serious.

Your items with crit multi are legacy also. No one can get these items now, at least not in new leagues.

Acceptable weapons from my test.

Use a Bino's Kitchen Slaughter Knife,
a (xxx)-(300+) Dagger without crit chance suffix,
or a (xx)-(230-250) with crit chance suffix.
No one but RMT or extremely lucky person will have a dagger like yours, so make your guide with some real numbers for the real gamers please.

Just leave life leech in constantly if you do not have 7k+ ES. This is mandatory to level.
Life Leech is your #1 priority on your amulet after your extremely expensive chest and weapon. You need to hit a certain peak point or you will die constantly even with 5500 ES at every reflect you run into and many map bosses, especially ones with fire/lightning damage. The burn is to high and shock stacks to strong to not be back at full consistently between hits.

I found my survivability went up tremendously with a

. The over capped resist deals with many of the most aggressive monsters. Lightning damage has the fastest animations to hit the player and most are target/Aoe, not projectile.

Most the monsters that you will want to single target are "Allies cannot die"... That is about it. Almost 99% of people are going to flicker constantly. No one wants to use lightning strike and give up sockets for it. They didn't get all these extremely expensive items to lightning strike. They have builds for lightning strike, this is not it.

Smoke Mine is your friend in both Invasion and Ambush. It can really save your life. From invading uniques, rogue exiles, and boxes.

Rolled myself with ~1k chromes.
The trick is to use a chest with REDUCED ATTRIBUTE REQUIREMENTS. It will drastically increase your odds for offcolours, so consider it a quite useful mod.

Maybe, i was a bit lucky, but that wasnt pure luck. I knew what i was doing.

Man, there is a guy selling a 800-ish 32% Reduced Att Req for like 5ex (no link). I was poor and went for another guy with 30c on this:

(Fuse/Chrome right now, with 20% it'll get about 750-ish ES)

I wonder how much chrome I'm gonna need now cuz it only have 18% Reduced Att Req... :P

@drakelucas:

I'm playing this build right now on Ambush, and I'm not rich, repeat - not rich at all, but I manage to get to lvl 80 with about 53k DPS on 5L Flicker Strike and Abyssus (yeah Abysuss - Nuke mob before they kill you play style).

Regarding Dagger, my current dagger is

Which I bought from a guy at the beginning of Ambush for like 28c or so. Still using it. Less crit but work just as good as a damn expensive Bino.

Regarding Reflect, I have 4K ES for like 10 lvl or so, I deal with reflect just fine thank too 2 sepertated setup of CWDT, one lvl 1 and linked with EC lvl 5 and Enfeeble lvl 5 (yes, if you wear Abyssus then Enfeeble is a must) and one high lvl with IC and Inc Duration. That way you only need to tank one reflect hit on your ES for IC to kick in and quickly kill the reflect mob. I have no problem with reflect overall unless I desync or flicker too far from the refect mob while I has my IC on (mean when I flick back there is a small chance that I'm not as full ES to tank the first hit (which is ~4000ES for around 48K DPS at that time - upgraded now, Abyssus included so I can safely say I can one shot my self in most case).

Regarding "Allies cannot die" mobs, I make sure I have 3 or 4 Frenzy charge before or just spam Frenzy on one of em', and flicker in the pack, you gonna kill the mob quickly anyway. And if you don't IC gonna kick in and you'll have more than enough time for frenzy 4 charge and melt them.

Regarding Lightning Strike, if you don't like using it, don't use it. Simple. Need Power Charge? Romira's Banquet can help you get more crit effectively and the Acc/Crit Multi on it are just amazing, I'm using it right now.

If I'm having hard time on a map due to Desync or Lag/Spike or simply the map mob don't safe or don't fit with flicker, I swap my Reave in and change Melee Splash with Life Leech so I can tank everything a bit easier.

~53K DPS at lvl 72:

Well, with just 18% reduced req. (and the same base) it will be obviously harder to get offcolours.
For best result, you should wait (or try to deal) for 32% reduced req. Or base with lower int requirement (which is the same, as only final requirement matters). Of course, 5 exa for 800 ES no link is too much.
You will 5-link you chest, right? Then you'll need just 3 offcolours, not 4. And those 3 are easy to gain, really. I bet you'll do it with 150 chroms, spending more will be a sign of bad luck.

hmm... your dagger is impressive, for 28 chaos... With that dagger, however, i would use PCoC gem. Sure, it gives less DPS than red gem, but is costs less mana and provides consistency, which is a very good thing for life leech and countering reflect.

I use that setup along with the Abyssus for getting the optimal DPS for quite sometime now. I guess using xyz effectively does pay off well.

It's just sad that my internet is bad and sometime an unexpect desync/lag can being very dangerous for flicker, good things is the tree is very optimal for a diveristy of physical crit builds (with different chest colors ofc).
