Well why your poacher's mark and blasphemy is linked to increased duration!?! That increases the reserve cost of it ... hell the increased duration support gem has 140% mana multiplier! Get rid of it ASAP and you are good to go ;)

Hello together, I really enjoy this build but having kinda problems with the map bosses sometimes because I still take to much damange. You can check my Gear on my character page if you have any tipps for me, I would appreciate these.
But what I wanted to say:
Spoiler
when I saw the new weapon that the Shaper can drop:
 http://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Starforge I really thought this would be really awesome with this Flicker build, even if you have to change Added Fire Damage and Hatred to non elemental stuff. 700 Max Physical Damage is just awesome. But is this build able to beat the Shaper that we will need to find out :D Last edited by Kenjinou#2370 on Sep 9, 2016, 4:23:05 PM

Hello!
Thanks for the awesome guide! After become bored with bladefall+poison mines from last league, i decide to try Slayer+flicker strike, and have a blast with it. Question to TS: since this build (with my gear) have a decent amount of life leech, any opinion about grabbing a Vaal pact passive? |

@Kenjinou
Well the problem that i see with the weapon is that there isn't really a gem to replace added fire damage as for hatred i guess you can do a defensive aura ( determination for example ) and i'm not really sure if the very high physical damage of the sword will compensate for that... though i do want to try it out before i can say anything definitively @lynx_gnt Vaal Pact means no life regeneration, and no life regeneration means terrible experience with blood rage. Besides, the slayer's Endless Hunger makes regular leech great, so there is not need for VP in my opinion.

Just wanted to share an idea with everyone. Ancestral Warchief is pretty OP this league, and I have always felt the single-target/boss experience with this build is slightly clunky if you dont one shot them with flicker. Went with the gem set-up below which utilizes a 5L Ancestral Warchief and Vaal Haste for bosses. I still kept frenzy as a back-up, but I haven't really had to use it much. The Ancestral Warchief combined with a 7 FC flicker strike usually downs the bosses very quickly. No change to tree whatsoever.

Which is better: Marohi Erqi or Kongor's Undying Rage?

" I think your points are interesting. I have been following the OP's guide so far and it's going really well - but I have yet to try out the more demanding bosses such as Atziri and higher tier maps. Even though it seems easy in Korgoth's videos, I don't really fancy the gem swapping mid-fights. Maybe it can be learned and is easy, but if you have found a superior strategy it might be interesting to exploit. What about the life gain from Vengeance + LoH you are missing? Is it noticeable? Could you describe your higher content experiences? It would also be very interesting to hear Korgoth's comment to your build. I'm looking forward to that! =) |

@ eugenez
It's definitely an option, i too like the AW totem and it is a good way to ease difficult boss fights @Siniwoot I'd say marohi @Bizze79 To be honest vengeance doesn't have a big impact so feel free to get rid of it if you have more useful things to put instead. As for gem swapping - i hate gem swapping as well, and the only time when i do this is vs Atziri because of the damage reflecting mirror-holding clone of her in the split phase.
