How does this type of build do on higher level maps?

This build looks crazy awesome. I've been wanting to make a Flicker build recently. Been leveling http://www.exilepro.com/builds/shadow/502-shadow-ci-crit-dagger/build and figured I could just turn this into a Flicker Strike user.

Is there anything you could change in the build to work more for how yours is? I'm only L50 currently so not too close to endgame yet, and I know I would stop using Lightning Strike but probably not for a bit, eh?

Thanks for any feedback.

This is my current build at level 50: http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYABX0OSBFQEZYWvxnXHNweGiQ8JpUnqSgqLOEwVDgbO-FJO0lRVUtW6lptYeJtGW17cFJyfn5Zf8aH24hri3qMNpHPmVedo6Kjpn-nK6dcrGaxs7VIuXy71sBRwFTB88Nt2Hbi9-OE5oHp_uwY7UHw2fF28-r8q_-T As you can tell, I'm just following the build from that guide/Invalseco's.

My gear is just a mix/match right now since I'm just now about to finish up Cruel and move on to Merciless but I can link gear whenever I finish up Merciless if you'd like (not sure when that will be!)

If there are any paths you'd suggest I take on that build that's different from the one the guide offers, I'd greatly appreciate it.

(Not sure why the build link isn't actually hyperlinking)

The only real difference is that instead of going up for inner force,u go down the ranger path to get the extra frenzy/crit chance and multiplier.Post your gear whenever your want to see if i can help in some way.So far your build is as it shoud be.The only part i dont get is why you didnt take the evasion+energy shield on the shadow part of the tree. The last nod also gives resistances and cool down recovery.These in my opionion worth more than the +6% on the witch area

Helmet is temporary, until I find a better ES or can afford an Abyssus.

I'm currently working towards Vaal Pact and then CI.
Any suggestions on where I can take my build from here, to increase DPS?

Also, I'm trying to get a rough idea of how much DPS Abyssus really adds, can you tell me your current DPS with and without it?

My DPS with abysus is 91.5K and without it 58.5K.For u to now increase your DPS,u have to take CI and get a great ES shield.Then with blood rage u will replace your life leech gems with increase melee damage/melee damage on full life and with these u ll see a a huge DPS increase.It is even possible that a 4L flicker strike with multistrike -melee damage-melee on full life could propably give more DPS than a 5L flicker with the link u have.So go CI and invest on a good shield.The second dagger doesnt really increase the DPS of the attacks used on this build.Your rings are awasome,but u dont have accuracy.I d suggest to also take a death rush ring which gives high accuracy and 4% life leech,not to mention 20% attack speed on kill.A 20/20 blood rage plus death rush ring give 14% life leech which is more than enough.

In terms of priority i would do it like that:1)find a great shield of 400+ES2)invest on buying a high quality/level blood rage to have,or start leveling it before u take CI3)respec some points to simultaneously get CI and the ES bonuses after it(the 12% MORE es is huge)4)Get death rush ring,on the other ring priorize your resistances5)Eventually if ur ES is already more than 4.5K,get the abysus,if u want more damage.If feel u need survivability Use and ES helm instead.
ALso u need LS linked with faster attacks,lesser multiple projectiles and multistrike.EIther increase critical damage or power charge on critical can also be used instead of multistrike,but this is my favourite lin for LS :) Hope this helps

Glad to help.You should consider removing life leech gem for increase plysical damage on both fliker and frenzy.Also do not use haste,use hatred.After you do these your DPS will be at least 40K :)
