Flay' Flicker Finder - 800,054 DPS, 50/390MF, fast clear speeds. [New pics in MF gear/FAQs]

@JoelAlstrom
Nice gear. I see you are in Domination. Look me up sometime and we can stomp maps together. It's crazy what two flickerers do to maps.

As far as what I would do, I would not rush to upgrade anything. I do notice that you don't have IIR on your jewelry. I would try to get rings with similar stats, but IIR as well first, as your amulet is pretty OP and I wouldn't try to replace it yet. Honestly, where you are now will in gear will take you to 85+ at least. I would just level up, save your money and work on more damage survivability from passives.

The only recommendation I would make is to get your same type of belt with ele, res, res, but with 3 more affixes as well. Get about 35+ strength so you can drop a passive point out of strength. Get a third resist on it and you would be able to change up your rings. I would start at the belt. But no rush, your gear rocks.

As far as you dagger, it is a very nice dagger for a few ex. Don't divine it to raise the critical because you won't. It looks like it is in the 15-19 critical chance range and will only go down. You might try to exalt another pure physical or spell damage prefix on it, but I wouldn't rush as that is expensive and not necessary. There are no great suffixes that would improve your dagger much.

@bibelfosmo
Your dagger is still completely craftable. The int roll is a suffix, and useful to the build in a small way, so I would keep it. The only other suffix that may be useful is accuracy or a resist of a particular type. There is no other great dps suffix.

You have a top tier flat physical damage prefix and a top tier attack speed suffix. This means you have 2 prefixes and 1 suffix left to make the dagger perfect. You eternal the dagger, exalt it. If you get either high physical damage increase 150+ or local critical strike chance 35+ you hit gold, and you hand me the dagger. Just kidding. What you do when you get one of these is eternal again, and exalt. If you get garbage, you un-eternal it returning to your 3 affixes, eternal it to save those three, and then exalt a fourth on it again, looking for one of the affixes you want. Keep that up until you get your 4th you are looking for. Then you eternal, exalt for the correct 5th. Repeat until you have all 6. It's insanely expensive. But the only way to get perfect weapons.

Yay, going with

That is a really good start! Hope it turns out cheap to finish it.

Posted a new picture of higher MF. The MF is paying off. Found a perfect Andvarius. Up to 25/390 MF. Dropped Anger to run purity of elements, and gained free mana, but lost some DPS. Still playing around.

Got a couple new pieces of jewelry and updated the picture. This last one is using haste instead of grace. Yes, this last one is just for the damage, I don't always run like this. But I am thinking of swapping in Haste, because faster moving around maps is time saved.

Hey Sblak,

Thanks for posting this build, it's been really interesting for me. I knew I wanted to build a shadow and I starting building invalesco's flicker ninja build, which is more lightning/double focused than this. I got really inspired reading this and I think I will eventually go for the shav's low life build.

Getting there is the hard part however... so I had a few questions.

I think I know what to do on skills

I probably will retool towards ondar's and vaal pact once I more money for orbs of regret... but for right now I like this build for killing piety and easier maps. I think I'm OK using granites and jades to deal with reflect for the moment...

,I have pretty decent items for a 72 (highest lvl char) I think


I have different rings or belts that are similar as well.

First, what should I upgrade? My resists are close to maxed (60-75 mostly) and my es is 3.7k with discipline. I know I need a better dagger, I really like the crit but it's really slow... Armor is pretty good (bought for 1-2c and 5 linked yay) shield and boots aren't bad. So I'm not sure what should be the next step gear wise. My resists are close to maxed (60-75 mostly) and my es is 3.7k with discipline.

Second, and this is the big one... how do I make money? I have item rarity gear with pretty good stats... I can do piety but not fast enough to finish before lunaris 2 resets...

So far I've mostly just been grinding piety to level, got a few rares, did a few maps, and just set up a shop thread.

I'd appreciate any thoughts or insights you might have.

I'd appreciate any thoughts you have

And again... How come "679.3k Tooltip DPS" is tooltip dps, if your tooltip dps is 45k? Is my LA with lmp and chain dps 29700, if we count that all my projectiles from LMP and chain hit perfectly against 3 targets, if my tooltip dps is 1100?

And tips @ daggers, i would suggest using hard hitting dagger with high % crit, since you one shot every pack IF you crit. But go for 2aps ambusher for high tooltip dps if you want.

E: My flicker strike with 3k dps must suck, even if it one shots everything.

Flicker strike doesn't show a DPS value. It shows damage per use. Multiply that by your attack speed.

@topcat
Yeah just what joelastrom said. Flicker shows average damager per hit. In my case of 45k, and I can hit 15 time a second. Put that together...

@reaperpi
The reasons fast dagger is better for the flat damage from gear and auras. If my base hit is 100 and I hit twice a second I do 200 dps. If I runs flat damage aura on top of that worth 50 light damage I would do 100 + 50 per hit or 300 per second with 2 hits.

Say I do only 50 damage per hit of physical but hit 4 times a second with a fast dagger. I have 200 dps physical. Same as the first dagger without a elemental. However when you toss on the flat 50 lightning damage you hit four times for 100 each time or for 400 DPS.

This is why faster is always better if you can handle it mana wise. This flat damage bonus DPSeffect works for flat elemental damage from anger and wrath auras, from flat physical and elemental damage on jewelry and other gear. It also makes the effect of a flat bonus on the dagger itself add more DPS to the dagger itself. E.G. my dagger has a 17-35 flat damage that means more DPS on an ambusher than on a Demon Dagger.

Faster is more DPS AND because the hits are a little lower damage reflect is easier to absorb because it is also lower per hit and our armor soaks it up better.

Finally I apologize but I need a bit more time and then I will comment on your gear.
