Lv96 Poutsos' Flicker Nuke - Outdated

Oh, and I decided to spec out of the big shadow ES/EV group (gasp!) and go for more damage. At 48k dps with splash and life leech gems and still immune to reflect. Around 4200 es, was at 4850 and gained around 9k dps. Fair trade.

This is my build now:

I de definetely advise against it :D.9K is not much,u ll get loads of more DPS as you improve your gear,and u also lose 8% resistances :/It is your call of course.Personally i am not even willing to trade 6% ES and 2 +30 intelligence(total of 18%increased ES), for aspect of the panther which is a redicuous DPS boost :D

About the templar build,using so many passives is not realistic.

Added a temple map video,with a double piety boss fight(rape)

After some testing with reave i wanna also give my results on how it compares to frenzy+splash and double strike+splash

For full potential all attacks had 5 frenzy charges and 4 power charges

reave(lv14)+melee physical+melee on full life+multistrike+increase crit damage


reave(lv14)+melee phsycal+melee on full life+multistrike+ concentrated effect(lv13)


frenzy(lv20+12%q)+melee on full life+multistrike+increase crit damage+melee splash


double strike(lv12)+melee on full life+multistrike+increase crit damage+melee splash


For all the attacks i used LS to gain power charges(as generally do),so lets assume it is a 6L with power charge on crit being the 6th gem in all attacks.
-As you can see rave+concentrated effect has the highest DPS by a large margin BUT using concentrated effect,makes the AoE range pathetic,even in the final stages.
-Double strike comes last by a large margin.Sure it is low level but i have tested it with a lv 20 double strike,and still frenzy deals more damage with 5 frenz charges.
-reave and crit damage has slightly higher dps than frenzy splash,even with reave being non quality and lv 14.But since both skills require the highest possible attack speed to be optimised,on a situation with 6 frenzy charges,both skills,with an extra charge and 20/20 compared to the screenshots will have:
Reave:24% increased physical damage from 6 level ups,10% increased attack speed from quality and 5% increased attack speed from the extra frenzy.
Frenzy:33% increased attack speed and 12%increased physical damage,all from the extra quality and the extra charge.
So i beleive that with 6 frenzy charges and both gems at 20/20 frenzy will slightly surpass reave in the DPS department,and it also have the advantages that u can use other skills while playing with it,like cursing or using whirling blades,melee splash has a fixed range even from the first hit,the AoE is spread all around instead of just infront of u,you can gain power charges from another attack,making the 6L potentially much more powerfull.With reave u wouldnt have that option.

Yah, reave is super unexciting. If someone wanted a ci dagger cleaver, reave would be perfect I suppose.

Yeah i suppose you can build around it,taking increased AoE passives,but i dont think it is worth it end game.

Completely revamped the original introduction,giving a much more detailed guide.Also i added a new column with the idea of stacking MF to this character,thanks to DementiaHorror.Also added an a video of a 68 map run on full mf clothes!

I should get aursize. I frequently run with 1 andv + mf ammy/ring + goldwyrm and item quantity slotted. Adding another andv, aursize and perandus could boost mf quite ridiculously while still maintaining at least 20k dps. Clearing docks/lunaris/and 66-68 maps really shouldn't be a problem (chayula might be necessary though).

Yeah chayula is nescesery,but chayula provides rarity :D.I cleared rare up to level 70 on MF setup so far without problems

i didnt read through the whole post here so i might have missed something already.
i have a 2h flicker build (marauder)that will soon reach 90k dps. and i can just survive reflect with a few es points left after the hardest crits, without flasking.
i was wondering how my build compares to some of the shadow builds overhere that can actually leech through reflect when flickering. i imagine having a shield yields a much higher es cushion. but then again, how would u get enough leech when wearing a chayula?
