[3.0] How to Flicker. Two Handed Weapon Edition!
|
Just did a tier 1, lvl 68 map at level 60 using this build.
Cadiro was inside and sold me Darkrays! The boss killed me twice. |

This build has really worked wonders for me, I appreciate it. I kinda hit a roof where I didn't think I could upgrade anything without spending ridiculous amounts of money but then while trying to 5l my daressos I accidentally 6l'ed it with under 100 fusing xD. Let me know if there is any easy upgrades I can make to my gear without spending over ~3 exalts or so

@Vasilas
Well i also did some faster attacks vs. culling strike testing. While culling strike reduces the needed time to off a boss and generally boosts your damage per hit, faster attacks increases your map clear speed, like you said ... most of the enemies die in 1 hit so most of the time the clear speed depends solely on how fast you can deliver that hit. Because of that i've decided to stick to faster attacks ( for now ) @Seeker917 Well you can definitely work on your rings and amulet - they have absolutely NO life and NO flat physical damage. Also Empower for anything but spells is crap, not just crap ... but an absolutely useless crap.

How I started running MF version of this build
I would like to thank you for this incredible guide, although I kinda took it and twisted it around xD I started Perandus as MF Caustic arrow, but the clear speed was not that fast, you had to target and run and whatever. Also I was trying to maximize my IIQ and IIR and when I got Greed Embrace, the movement speed with Goldwyrm was just meh. So I aked myself a question how to speed it up, I tried Quickilvers, Phase Run and everything seemed kinda slow and non sustainable. Then I discovered Flicker, first ran it as Oro flicker, but the damage cap was not that high, but otherwise it was fine. The physical version allowed me to take Acrobatics and Phase Acrobatics which improved my defenses a lot, since the best hit is a no hit :P The damage output also raised with Atziri Disfavour. Running Arctic armour which is excellent with Flicker, Herald of Ash for some extra damage and of course Poacher´s mark. Also on my CWDT setup for extra protection layer Molten Shell. Sitting on 324 IIR/ 72% IIQ on perandus softcore, have no troubles clearing maps, highest I have tested is 9 since I haven´t got my hands on higher tier yet. Capping my resistances with Jewels mostly, since the Ventor´s are again very sacrifical ones. I find it to be the fastest clear speed MF char I ever had and I tried very many of them such different totems, CA... It is also a one button smasher so very easy to play xD Gear: Last edited by merlin89#2918 on Apr 3, 2016, 9:54:26 AM

This build can run multiple setups. I'm currently switching between flicker and earthquake. Earthquake is more defensive due to the massive stuns, and depending on the map mods/bosses, it might be a good idea to switch up. For bosses, surrounded by few to no adds, earthquake is definitely better IMO.
I ended up going champion over slayer, because earthquake can't use melee splash, but both flicker and earthquake save a gem link by getting perma fortify. Earthquake also uses the same link colors. I made some minor changes to the skill grid over what TC had. I'm using Kongor's because I can't afford Atziri's atm, and if you use Kongors you can save 2 skill points from not needing RT. I don't think its a bad idea to give up a couple life nodes to get some extra life/mana leech from the board either. I'm still stuck using Tabula Rasa, unfortunately. But I got a beefy amount of HP. Around 4400. Life regen with the stone golem out gives me around 500/sec HP regen with full frenzy charges. I also prefer Blood Dance to Darkray vectors. If you use blood dance, you don't really need poachers mark. Blood rage + Blood Dance gives you plenty of frenzy charges. That also frees up your mana pool up to maybe use something else, like warlord's mark maybe. But that's only if you go with a different armor than Daresso's.

Still a fan of swords!
Thought I would share my progress in Perandus, level 92 halfway to 93:

Still trying to get a useful helm enchant. I'm disappointed I didn't have much time to run Labyrinth yesterday because the layout was so nice. Also, I LOVE Sulphur Flasks. I've got a small collection of them and swap out depending on which map I'm running. Coupled with the huge flask duration from The Retch, it really helps to keep things running smoothly.

I'm excited for you, Headhunter is a treat. You should do a Gorge with and without to compare clear speed!

" Good idea! I'm uploading 3 videos as i post this - Labyrinth, Apex of Sacrifice and Wasteland. I'll do the 2 gorge runs after that :) "I'm going to show you pain you never knew existed, you're going to see a whole new spectrum of pain!!!!! Like a RAINBOW!"

Would you say this build is viable for Hardcore? I ripped last night at level 88(so close to 90) and wanted to play something fun and reliable.
I've used your Facebreaker build before and it was great so I figured I would try FLicker strike this time. |
