General Discussion - Flicker strike will soon be nerfed - Forum

" Anthian wrote: it was intended http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/55261 but they werent sure and it was not overpowered. in late pvp its quite strong but not in the top tier. You are speaking of pvp, but I am speaking of pure DPS. There are not many skills that offer the same dps as flicker strike. Funny thing is that it is always nerfed by desynch. Like 0% of people use it on hardcore :) http://tinyurl.com/ooety9v - Ranger bow lightning arrow crit build	Posted by Dan1986#1261 on Sep 3, 2013, 11:38:50 AM Quote this Post

They made Blood rage all wrong... It should be Life on hit... not Life leech Its a free candy if you go CI At least making it on hit would encourage people to go ES low life ZiggyD is the Labyrinth of streamers, some like it, some dont, but GGG will make sure to push it down ur throat to make you like it	Posted by Sexcalibure#7575 on Sep 3, 2013, 11:58:25 AM On Probation Quote this Post

(This is especially more efficient to use with frenzy charges as you get to retain more charges for longer before having to consume them for more hits.) I personally think that a flicker strike was the ultimate pvp build even surpassing facebreakers and righteous fire. This patch to "balance" pvp it seems (atleast to me anyways) was to nerf the strongest pvp build there was. It was also to stop people using multiple enduring cry allowing them permanent immortal call, but my build being nerfed is more important! 4xFlicker? OMGWTFLOL! I have only one 6-L item - chest, why should i want 4xFlicker? Just onr flicker is absolutely enough! And for me, one enduring cry is enough for immortal call. I dont see any reasons for complaining IGN: MortalKombat Molten Strike build guide: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1346504 There is no knowledge That is not power	Posted by MortalKombat3#6961 on Sep 3, 2013, 4:21:06 PM Quote this Post
The rest of the thread explains why, simply put, how will you make a high lvl pvp char using flicker strike as the primary skill? [Removed by Support]	Posted by Anthian#0475 on Sep 3, 2013, 8:53:09 PM Quote this Post
I kind of always thought it was lame to bypass cool downs with multiple gems anyhow. Its not the same thing but its sort of like how you can't use multiple zombie gems to get tons of zombies. If you use a flicker or enduring cry and it on cooldown then is it really more fair to be able to use a different gem to keep going? If yes then why not more zombies?

The zombies comparison fails for many reasons, the most important being that there are uniques adding zombies / spectres + passive points,so you can literally have an army of em already. In comparison, there is only 1 passive that gives you 1 extra trap.
