[2.0.4]PewPewPews Official Flicker Strike build!

How much hit chance i should get for flicker strike? now I have 87% and wonder if its too low

Everything above 80% should be fine

Hello!
First off i wanna say i really enjoyed reading your guide - in fact so much that i decided to make a flicker strike duelist :-)! And i must say, even through the "boring" lvling stages (up untill 30 when i got blood magic) i have TONS of fun playing this character! personally i dont like the "level up with spectral throw" so i just went with 5 manapotions and grinded my way to cruel ledge without actually dying, and had alot of fun!
Now im at the point where i am lvl 80, having decent gear (incredibly lucky BoR piety drop!) and pretty much just rolling around doing what i want to do. The only problem I have now is, that to be able to up my DPS further, im gonna need to get that soul taker (Which is about 35-45 exalts on domination now) which i didnt really think through when making this my first high level character, but oh well :)!
All in all can really recommend playing this build, having tons of fun with it, but do not expect to be flickering around with ur friends in a party! I mostly put cyclone in my BoR with fire dmg / leech or else i just use dual strike, still insanely high dps with this build!!

I have 1 question though, I am thinking about (in the future when i get rich!) to use Soul Taker + Bloodseeker as dual wield weapons, also to get the instant lifeleech.. Has anyone experimented with that??

Best regards!

Hey PewPew !

Love your guide, but it's a bit late for me, as we discussed it in game.
Anyway I wanted your input on my current build (as it's my first char..):



I still have 3 points to take, not sure what though.
Waiting for your answer.

Thanx

what weps are best for non crit flicker? high flat psych damage or these one with incrase attack speed?
or its doesnt metter and i should only look for overal pdps?

@DoctorIxz: I feel that the bloodseeker lacks dps. Especially if you can't get your hands on a legacy soultaker, this might be an issue. The instant lifeleech is nice though, if it works, this might be a strong combination indeed.

@falcdyr: aha, I thought you had a questions about this build. I'll PM you about yours :)

@danteusz: They both have their advantages. High DPS allows you to keep up the frenzy charges, while high Attack Speed weapons will allow you to "dodge" many many many attacks, while upholding the damage. Generally, you want to stay flickering, enough DPS to kill off the enemies, but also enough attack speed to stay unharmed through the fights.

Ty for the reply!
I was doing some 74 rare maps in party, and felt i had a very hard time surviving / leeching life fast enough with the original build!
I really recommend for people who want to do this build (which is very VERY powerful when doing solo farming / solo maps) to level up a Dual Strike gem aswell. The dual strike + bloodseeker combo is really all you need to keep yourself alive in 72+ rare maps :-)

hey my friend, seems like a fun and awesome build. i have a cyclone FB mara and a frenzy LA crit ranger. i really like what i saw and it looks fun (apart from the headache) =D could you link a screenshot of your offense and defense screens though? i kind of want to see what youre working with in the later game. thanks mate

Hello and thanks for your guide, flicker strike is really fun to play :)

However, I got some trouble to play in party... It's just not possible to keep charges up. Even if I stack 5 charge before flickin, i'm losing them really fast (due to micro desync i guess? I don't understand why i'm losing a charge every flick...) and blood rage cant sustain it.

Do you switch to cyclone automaticaly in party ?

Thx for answer and sorry for bad ENG !

the thing is that with blood rage you HAVE TO deal killing blow in order to get fr charge so with other ppl in pt it could be extremly hard to maintain flickering... if you are really agains using cyclone then you might try linking your FS with Culling strike as it gives you fair chance to get some of mobs around you to die ;) but decrease att speed might get you :D
its just in theory, havent tried it yet as iam still working on getting myself BOR XD
