On a max crit roll, you do 20.45k dps thanks to your low multiplier. 18% of that gets reflected, so 3681. That's the amount of ES or HP you have to have to survive. Everything else is just a matter of having 18% life leech and Vaal pact, assuming you're not using abyssus.

If you push your phys damage to 4k by e.g. using another melee phys gem, the required health would increase to 4680. If the damage stays the same, but the multiplier goes to 850, you need 4.5k. So, i guess you still have room to push your dps higher via phys or multiplier. You could push your dps by using added fire and faster attacks without increasing the risk of one-shotting yourself, but then where would the fun with a flicker build be...


you´ll might be surprised to find that my es is only 3219.
with 16k armour 16% leech is just enough to keep holding the rightclick button. sometimes im actually fast enough to use my granite flask, which doubles my armour.

i could swop my hybrid armour for a pure $ 6l vaal but then id have to get more leech. this would mean losing dream fragments and having tight mana or getting extremely lucky with exalting my double dmg modded staff. but like as you say, where´s the fun if you could actually roll a 3rd dmg mod. i understand poustos very well regarding this.

on my next flicker build im still undecided about the 6th gem. added fire seems like a nice option, which can be boosted by a nice belt aswell. added crit chance seems like smooth choice aswell but it might boost the crit chance over the cap. what do you guys think about culling as opposed to added fire or other gems?


That depends on if you actually use melee splash or not.If you use melee splash u have to have a red socket.For splash nothing beats the combination flicker-splash-melee physical-melee on full life-increase crit damage-multistrike.For single target i can't ne sure.If the crit chance is still low after the power charges,i d definetely recommend increase crit chance.For culling,i ve never used the gem so i can't really tell.Added fire damage is definetely hard to beat,if you pair it with both melee physical,and melee on full life.Personally,that i mainly use melee splash,my 6th gem is definetely going to be red,since after testing with tabula rasa i saw my DPS with splash,going drom 100K to 150K,with the simple addition of melee physical.

i doubt that a gem, which gives 16% less dmg to begin with, will be the best choice for single targets. i havent tried splash yet but it seems like a great gem if u can still 1shot secondary targets with a crit. for as far as your 6th gem goes i can understand your choice there as you switch skills to get crit charges. for me single button style is the way of the jedi. although i often have to revert to sweep and frenzy because of dsync. any tips on avoiding dsync apart from pauzing dls and such?

continue flickering until you flicker back in sync :D

or the boring way: stop flicker and switch to a shift-click aoe.
I usually have /oos ready.So i press enter- up arrow -enter

Also lately i ve been mostly Running on MF setup,even higher than lv70 Maps(and dying much more frequently),until i came a across a jungly valley map.I wondered how the build would do against the new enhanced boss so i added a new video :D

I'm having trouble reaching the 100k dps like the screenshots show. I'm only lvl 72 so I know I'm missing passives, but i doubt passives will double my dps. What am I doing wrong? My dagger isn't bad I think. Anyone can help?

Fastest way to get a hold of me is in-game. Second fastest is through PM. I don't check on threads all that often since I prefer to play :)

Your dagger's crit is decent but the pDPS could use a little upgrade, maybe up to 230-250. I think the majority of DPS you're missing is because of your 6L and no quality gems. The ideal colour combination would be 4R 1G 1B. And don't disregard the 10+lvls as well. Adding all of these would get you to 100k aoe dps easily.

Well for starters,you have a 6L reave :P.I suppose this is for testing purposes right??Other than that,it is level and quality on gems,like dolx said,but the most important are indeed the passives.If your DPS at the moment is 50K,even with this dagger(which is VERY good,just not godly) and your 6L(i only have a 5L),you WILL have around 100KDPS,maybe abit lower(around 90K with these colours and dagger) but close.However the best colour combination is infact(again as Dolx pointed out)4R,G,B.If u you post your current passive tree to help if we can.
Your gear BTW is incredible,i only wish i had a 6L(around 500 fusings used so far).I wouldn't suggest to upgrade your dagger yet.It is very good.Make priority to get a great shield of over 500ES and resistances.Your DPS will scale as you level.After you get the shield,then go dagger hunting

My bad, forgot to swap the gems to flicker when posting my gear XD It's updated in my original gear post.

My passive tree atm http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYABX0FtQzyDkgQexEvEZYV1xXwFr8c3B4aJP0oKio4KwosvzBUO-E-z0GHRnFHBlBCUUdWY1bqVvVfamNDbRlwUnBWerh943_GgseGrofbiEKMNo2_kBuTJ5Ugl9CZV5mamhOdo6IuoqOly6Z_pyunNK6TsbO0DLTFtUi297k-uXy95r46wFHBAMHFwfPC7MNtzerXhtsa227b1OL344TnVOn-62PsGO1B8uHz6vVL-WP8q_-T

I was lucky enough to roll 4 off color. I think getting 5 off color would require an insane amount of chromes that I can't afford to spend D: So I'm stuck with these colors, Working on trying to find a decent es shield. my res are really bad. 20 all res atm with a meh ring and rathpith on. Would you suggest getting res over more es on the shield?

your dagger - 199 dps (269 with abyssus)
his dagger - 284 dps (348 with abyssus)

you have a tad more base crit (the one on the dagger, its like the base crit for spells that is multiplied by every other crit % on items passives skills etc), BUT that weapon base dps is the most impactful when it comes to reaching a target of screen dps. Its one fixed value that is multiplied by everything else.

Also, if your passives are missing some ias / damage / crit nodes when compared to his, you wont come up with the same numbers. And you must have the same level / quality gems and same 5 link. And same str value, even this can make the difference between 95k and 100k dps.

And remember, his screenshot was with hatred, onslaught from ring, 5 frenzy / 4 power charges. And he took damage quest reward from cruel oak.

Good luck mate
