Yeah this is the 6th or 7th character I've made and I'm having a hell of a lot of trouble with being stun locked in Cruel. Most of the time my builds can make it all the way to end of Merciless, but so far not this one. It's also important to note that this is my first attempt on a CI character ( other toons were high life based ) , so that's probably why I am not used to the mechanics and tactics of this build.

Is using a Dagger my best option for this build? ( Besides Soul Taker which is kind of a given lol )

Thank you very much for the build OP, it is really fun and it's such a joy getting dizzy watching your character just jump around everywhere lol.

A great dagger is much better than soul taker.Other than that eye of chayula is a must to not get stun locked.If u wanna play this on anarchy which hasnt chayula,u ll have to go for US and then it is not this build anymore :D.Also u shouldnt have gone CI so early.This is an end game build to function properly.I am sorry about not having a leveling guide.I wanted to,but truth is that since i never followed abuild myself and just improvised,i made a ton of mistakes while leveling and i dont really know the most effecient way to level it :(.I dont wanna provide a crappy guide that will cause troubles to players,thats why i asked for the other guys who recently tried the build to help me create one.

Speaking of gear, lemme brag a bit.

My gear

I still lookin for better Abyssus and perfect Magnate. And my amulet is thrash tbh, but its hard to find better one, so eventually i will craft something.

Oh ye, off-colors ftw.

Gideon, now that im going Chayula, this bad boy will most likely be going on the market. Hit me up if youd be interested.

that thing is pretty damni nice. i hate having to use chayula as there's so many awesome dps amulets around.

I play on Anarchy, haven't got US but can facetank stun a 3/4 of the time, only die when I whirl into huge champion mobpacks and cannot start flickering before getting stunned and it's happening less and less during the end-game tbh. Like Poutsos said you went CI too early, I wouldn't suggest going CI before Merciless Act 2.

As for build before CI I followed another guide on this sub and followed that path, mainly all the same attack nodes but I also got the clumps of HP that are all around shadow area. All the points I used for HP could easily be undone by quest respecs when I went CI at Merc. A2. I also had hand me down gear so I could survive and sustain high dps easily so it might be a bit harder for someone who doesn't.

I managed to buy another ex for 16 gcp then sold it again for 20, so if anyone has a q20 l20 flicker for sale please let me know :)

Just use your GCPs,you dont lose much anyway

Leveled and made some minor changes to the tree,getting heartseeker instead of aspec of the panther,as i recomend to other players to do so

Bought a 6l vaal today so this thing is in full swing. Level 50 atm. Will be updating with stats once i get leveled some. All my gems are high lvl, so nit even using flicker until i reach 68ish. Not going to attempt to get 4r on a vaal, so im planning on linking flicker, melee phys, melee on full life, multistrike, crit damage, and either accuracy or crit chance depending on color of final. Also im not going to be using LS. Im going to 4l frenzy with power charge on crit, faster atks, and crit chance. It will only be used to maintain charges. Hopefully I level quickly, ready to get this guy up and running!

Nice!I wish i had the currency to buy a 6L,but there is absolutely no chance that i ll be able to.RNG hates,drops always suck and it is just imposible to gather 20 exalts.i ve tried to craft with an item level 79 but still not even a 6S.
I think u should give lightning strike a chance.A 20/20 lightning strike gives 60% pierce chance and with so high crit chance and multiplier it can have amazing resukts.Not to mentione that u stack shock for 120% more damage(along with a 20/20 crit weaknesss thats a 219% MORE damage :D,also to flicker,not just LS),and u can gain power charges from distance.Frenzy is also a very powerfull attack.Mine with a 4L does almost 80K DPS full buffed and it is not even 20% quality and i have 5 frenzy charges,not 6 as i suggest for this build.Keep in mind that a 20/20 frenzy gains 18% attack speed and 12% melee physical for EACH charge.Sometimes u need a high DPS more controlled skill sto hit a specific mob instead of just flicker from one to another.

Can't kill reflect mobs without LS or uber leech..

Well my current marauder at 88k dps does nothing but flicker strike. Occasional frenzy to get charges up, but spam flicker after. He has only 2500 hp after reserve and does fine against reflect. Was hoping that my shadow, with 5k+ ES, would do just as well. Either way, shouldnt a low damage frenzy (probably 30k or so dps) be good for taking out the reflect aura bosses?

I could try out LS since you are such a fan. What situations do you find it necessary for?

Oh and I got this for just 12ex. Have to color it still, but thought it was a decent deal.
