Having read your first paragraph (again) I still stand by my statement. You are essentially giving us a list of 5 builds with which we are to organized based on our opinions. Your thread is flawed that you've only allowed a limited number provided by you alone. By the way, DPS is about the only thing crit-based Flicker Strike builds have going for them. Those builds have very little in the way of survivability going for them. They die a lot, mainly because Flicker Strike is #2 on the worst desync-causing skills list.

You do not have to organize anything :) Remember to read the last paragraph as well, sweetie. I agree with you about Crit-Based Flicker Strike, though I would not want to say that a build that can solo Double-Vaals in Maze map has little survivability.

The premise is still the same. You are basing this entire thread on your given list. You structured the OP to orientate the topic to your chosen list. Spoiler In cased you missed it, I offered my own opinions in both of my posts. You can stop acting pretentious.	Posted by Alkezo#4107 on Nov 10, 2013, 3:55:36 AM Quote this Post

If you have any issues with any of the 5 builds I posted, tell us why, and what build is more deserving of a spot than that. Focus on the last paragraph, thanks :D IGN: Asharin ~[1.0.5] 9K ES CI+VP+AA CoC EK-Discharger~ www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/730607 ~Top 5 Builds in Standard/Domination~ www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/599443 Last edited by Wishinan#1706 on Nov 10, 2013, 3:58:15 AM	Posted by Wishinan#1706 on Nov 10, 2013, 3:56:55 AM Banned Quote this Post

I like games with top builds. Really emphasizes the diversity. Also lol @ Flicker builds.	Posted by PathOfNerfs#6106 on Nov 10, 2013, 5:20:04 AM Quote this Post
" PathOfNerfs wrote: I like games with top builds. Really emphasizes the diversity. Also lol @ Flicker builds. Yes, agreed. The diversity of builds in this game is amazing. Flicker builds are so nukish. But if played cautiously, it is easily one of the best out there.

I don't think all hardcore builds have a good mitigation between DPS and damage mitigation. If anything, hardcore is more of 'Path of Life Nodes', really. Some of the builds have so sucky DPS because they want to play it 'safe'. So much for hardcore. But to each his own.

I appreciate your feedback, even if it wasn't in line with what I was asking for in OP :D Do you have any hardcore experience at high level? If you did, you'd know that without DPS you cannot clear maps effectively. How do you think these characters got to the level they did if they don't have the DPS to clear maps? You have less DPS not because you want to play it safe, but because you want to avoid dying to reflect. Therefore most good builds will have about that much. Also at least one of the builds listed in your first post follows the path of life nodes rule. You've seemingly chosen 5 random builds and termed them tier-1, without any criteria other than "good balance of DPS and survival", which, I am pretty sure, the majority of successful characters have. It wqould be a gargantuan task to go through all of them. That is why this list and your premise is flawed. I can't see any real criteria by which you've picked these builds at all. One person's definition of good DPS will not be agreed upon by another.
