The thread title Poutsos chose is quite fitting, really. This build focuses one thing--maximising damage as much as possible (at least it started out that way). Poutsos has been extremely successful at this, and i believe someone in this thread pretty much holds the record for sustained DPS with 450k (which is nuts).

The build you linked is entirely different. It uses spectral throw as primary dps and clears way slower than flicker + LS. It also has about half as much life as poutsos has ES, not sure about the other stats, but it might have better secondary defenses. So, the advantage of poutsos' build is that it's faster, crazier, and possibly slightly more flexible in terms of adding MF. Its disadvantages are that it's expensive as hell and not really suitable for any hardcore leagues.

P.S.: Just to give a reference for comparison, that build had 18k DPS with splash flicker. Poutsos' flicker does 60k with splash and without abyssus.

Thanks mate,u summarized everything pretty well :).
The initial intention was for the build to be crazy and fun,and yes to have very high DPS.I remember that back then i had higher DPS and comparable defences with 50 exalt gear cleavers,who also priorized DPS,all with almost self found gear,which made me happy.My latest spec is not as fun as it used to be,with the balls out abysus spec,but it is still crazy enough,efficient and it can do every single map,with minor adjustments.Generally,lately i very very rarely die,if ever,except the Residence boss(dominus),who shreded me to pieces :S.If the map mods where easier and i was solo(it was duo)i MAY have gotten him,but that boss,seriously makes temple piety or the weaver look like normal hillock :P(not even joking).Maybe he is easy for bow users ccause there is enough space to doge his attaks,dunno.Anyway,this character still solos way more efficiently than my 9.6K ES ,64% block,400 ES regen/sec,vaal pact Templar-FACT-and he is much much more fun.The templar can be fun in his own way (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mdKqzBvYBmM&feature=youtu.be) but there is no comparison

Sure you can.This build can use any one handed skill gem as main attack.Melee splash with double strike would be better than reave though,and frenzy even better if u can handle the mana.Generally 5-6linking double strike for party playing is the best thing you can do right now.The main reason i reccomend using double strike over reave,is that reave needs the fastest dagger you can get while flicker needs a comparatively slower to keep up with the mana,so it would be hard to change skills

Hey there, I'm using a modified version of your build where I don't have to use Lightning Strike to gain power charges and instead gain it through Flicker and Frenzy. My question is how do you manage to get those crazy amounts of DPS? I use pretty much the same links and passive tree as you but I only get around 30k DPS without Abyssus. With Abyssus it's only something like 53k DPS. I expected a bit of DPS loss due to not using Lightning Strike but definitely not this much. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Seriously guys, how do you get around strength issue?

You don't level gems past X point? :p Like ~100 strength

Well some of those are already past that for me, so I guess... invest in a strength node (or two) then respec when I do the quality 20 gem recipe.

Edit: Have these two still can't use lvl 17 LS. Would use but my resist would suffer 'cause I don't yet have rainbowstrides (too expensive for me atm), using . Have 104 strength atm (without magnate)
