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

@Dharma

I typically run 72-74 maps solo with full MF gear. Since I do them fast RNG is more likely to be friendly. This is my only main character and I earned all the ex for my crazy gear myself, since the start of Domination.

@Lich

I'll put up a picture of my offense chart soon.

This build is batshit. Kick ass that you made a solid build for the crown of eyes AND shavs, while other people have only come up with meh builds with either for flicker. I will look forward to when you get a better dagger and beat Poutsos' dps!

Edit: Why Arcane Vision? Also you could swap a 20 str node for a 30 str one, would give more dps if nothing else

@RogueMJB

I took arcane vision because i am low life and hate doing maps where I can't see diddly squat. It's purely for easier playing. I also took it because I really need more int to wear Shavs and use my gems. I have 40 Int from the nodes by Arcane Vision.

As far as DPS, this build far outstrips Poutsos' build. I played Poutsos' build and had a 450k DPSscreenie which I put in his thread. This build kills much better. Plus his super high DPS is only with Abyssus which is not playable on high maps. I can do high maps with no problem. The extra Wrath aura means I triple shock stack everything, including the bosses so I am effectively doing double whatever DPS it shows on the tooltip. Plus with fast hitting attacks I don't one shot myself on reflect because I am refilling more often and each hit hits for less.

Finally, I took the 20 STR node with 12% life because the extra life helps. I want more life on my gear. While it makes me burn hotter, slightly, with RF it also stops stuns and shortens all status effect durations.

Added leveling specs.

Awesome man, looking forward to some videos. Would like to see how you keep up with mana cost.

@Rogue

The best way to keep up with mana costs of fast flickering is by leeching mana and having a high base max mana which raises your leech per second cap. We do enough phys damage that we always leech our max per second. The max is 12.5% leech per second, so if you have 900 mana (i do - mostly on rings and neck with some passives) you leech 113 per second. So you start with about 300 unreserved mana, gain about 113 mana a second, and also get regen on top of that, so you can flicker about 6-7 times, then wait a second or two, which I spend running to the next pack. Repeat. When on a boss, I start flickering and then pop my mana flask (divination distillate).

I will work on getting video software set up so I can get a few videos.

Don't get me wrong.
I like your build, and I'm gonna use it when I finally 6l my Shav (1600 fuses burned...)

This build is very good, but please let's clear few things.
1.
Show real stats, because people will be dissapointed when they will not reach it.
You don't have simultaneously
AOE Flicker *296,870 dps* or Single Target Flicker *437,571 dps* with Magic Find *25% IIQ and 331 IIR*


2. I was wondering why you took so many mana regeneration passives and mana nodes.
Thats because your dagger is not so good.
You need high phys dmg per hit for flicker.
All your mana leech is from phys dmg, so your dagger with 103 phys dmg is just not good.

3. DPS, ggg removed dps tooltip from flicker because it was number that shoved unreal numbers.
attack speed means nothing.

4. Push up your crit chance and you will benefit much more.
For example change frenzy charge from quest for power charge.
4 frenzy charges for flickering is enought, additional crit chance is very important.
Esspecialy if your dagger is only 8.81%

Dude, what? Unreal numbers? Attack speed means nothing? As long as he keeps up the mana cost then it's golden. That's sort of the whole point with running low life with shavs. Or are you trolling?

I've run low life flicker for a little while, slightly different setup but more or less the same. Pretty fun, just jump in and hold right click, and no care about desync.

I've got a few flicker vids up here if you're interested ( ... all flicker builds look the same though, just mindless teleporting all over the screen):

Edit: oh if you mind i'll remove the link, didn't mean to hijack.

Fun vid, you were like a rocket with flicker that fast. And grats on the belt!
