Lv96 Poutsos' Flicker Nuke - Outdated

Hey could you post your build here I'd really love to see how you got that high DPS with claws and are you immune to phys. reflect now? Do you get 18 LL from claws or only 9? Or am I misunderstanding here?

If it's 18 you could easily get 38 total LL and and slaughter the living shit out of everything not giving a single fuck and you could increase your DPS a lot with 6L.

Key points: I use 1 bloodseeker + 1 high dps/crit claw. I MUST clarify that this is a farming build and not an end game one. My life pool is barely 2k and no i'm not immune to phys reflect since LL doesn't matter once you 1 shot yourself on 1st hit! Phys ref packs are totaly doable though by lighting strike em while popping a granite.
The toon is still lvl73 and i'm working my way to more hp nodes now to pump my survival and make me able to farm higher maps.
This is how my nodes look atm:

I must clarify a mistake on part though, the said dps was achieved by using a 6L tabula rasa while farming docks/lunaris to get rid of mana issues and cap my mana pool with auras. There are ways around it but i don't really care atm since he is doing his job perfectly and the dps are overkill for the zones i'm farming with him. Get your hand on a nice pure phys dps claws is all that matters i think, all those claw nodes + dual weild notes pump EVERY sigle extra phys attack point you get to the roof

Uh, here is a single target dps using the tabula rasa. And my main claw isn't even close to an end game one, i'll post em both here.





With a descent claw you can pump your dps way way more, some accuracy would pump it even further. As for the Reflect mobs..weeelll there is an other way, or as you can see in the pic i posted, the discharge way ;)

Don't get me wrong, i can and i have farmed maps with this toon and i don't give a dam if i die a few times from accidentaly flickering on a reflect mob or forgeting to pump a dispell frozen flask. He was made having in mind fast clear times, looting etc. As my friend Poutsos said: He is a proletarian shadow farming currency for my other toons!!! :P

Also, I don't know if anyone mentioned, but about the life based claw build, with bloodseeker in one hand and a high dps claw in the other, bloodseeker only has vaal pact for itself, not the other weapon. It says 'Life leeched with this weapon is applied instantly', so the awesome life leech you get will only be instant with the small numbers contributed by the lower dps claws. Imo, if you go dual claws, both of which should be high damage rares like the first one.

I have tested both scenarios, and actually if you drop Vaal pact without having Bloodseekers equiped your survival drops to the floor.
"whenever you leech life, you gain an invisible "buff" that regenerates your life at the fixed rate of 20% of your life per second; the actual number of life leeched doesn't influence this "buff"'s magnitude, but only its duration"
It really doesn't matter how much damage you do or how much LL you got since life leech is CAPPED based on your max hp. If you are CI the cap is actually based on the hp you would have if you didn't have CI on and since CI users have minimal base hp the LL rate% is terrible.

You lose some dps aye, but the numbers are so huge in comparison to your ES that even 1 flicker hit with bloodseekers fills ES completely and INSTANTLY.

Huge numbers are nice, but aint gonna do any good to dead ppl :D
I got Bloodseekers atm on my claw farmer Shadow, and still i get 70k dps WITH melee splash and just 5L.

Not sure what point you're making, noone is arguing that vaal pact is great for survivability. But saying life leech with vaal pact restores all of your ES instantly no matter how much you have is very wrong. It simply gives you all the life leeched at once. Don't think that having vaal pact means your life leech % doesn't matter.

Anyway, I'm jealous of everyone hitting 200k already, my highest is 116k with PCoC on lightning strike :(

If someone has an upgrade for on anarchy, we can talk a price!

Hey there guys, hello Poutsos

I've been using this build for a while and it's a really good build

here's my gear




Gems are kinda randomly placed for now but i still get good dps, flicker gives me over 20k dps AOE and frenzy 40k dps single target.

I'm still pretty low though and if you guys can suggest gear upgrades i would be grateful.


P.s I enjoy this build quite a lot.

haahhahaha etsi na mazevomaste poloi xD
On side note now, change the colors of your 5L. I know it can be a HUGE pain in the arse but you WILL gain lots of dps.

Edit: I went through your items and i can't see how you are able to cap resistances with those :S Shield and armor have almost none, you use the magnate belt and Death rush gives only chaos res that's already capped through CI. Do i miss something or you just don't cap your rsists?

No, that wasn't my point at all. I said that WITHOUT Vaal pact, if you cap the 20% LL/sec any more is actually useless since the LL/sec will be the same and you'll just extent the duration of the time you leech!
WITH vaal pact high LL is much much better since you recover the FULL amount instantly, so higher LL means more insta heal.
This is based on observation alone though since i can 1hit refill my ES with 1 flicker strike. My ES on the said toon is 3,5k

Can this be an optical illusion? :S Poutsos can confirm or dismiss the idea since he is using the same build

I like how the last quote is in my name lol...


And yeah i don't cap resists, in fact it is a pretty big problem for me, but so far i've been able to manage without capped resists

No that is completely correct.No vaal pact/bloodseeker,worth having high LL with high DPS.No vaal pact/bloodseeker,with high DPS that reaches the leach rate cap= more life leech worthless

Hey man,i am glad u are liking the build so far :D.One more red socket on ur chest will be an incredible improvement.Proof is that if u link your flicker on your abysus which is 4L,u ll propable get more DPS than the 5L with these colours :D.Other than that your gear is good.The only real thing u are missing is a dagger with high crit chance,since 6.2 is the lowest possible for a dagger.As long as u get a great dagger and change one colour at your chest,your DPS will will exceed 50K by alot

Mixed the quotes! :P
You won't lose that much dps if you just change belt+rings for now to cap your resists. as you lvl up and propably get your hands on better items you can change back to more dps.
As it has been stated a lot of times, high numbers do nothing on dead toons :P

Dont worry man.I am the creator of the build,and so far since i dont have a 6L,my highest DPS with a 5L,using a multiplier amulet instead of chayula like glutton and Dolx,my DPS is maximum 180K,so not 200K.So so far 2 ppl here have higher DPS,on a much lower level,and i really like the fact.I have said,that since i am not rich i d love to see the full potential of the build of some more wealthy players that try it :D
