I am sorry that the build is frustrating to you Vulpina. At times it frustrates me too. However, the point of the build is to get high MF while flickering. It get's pretty hard to level in the higher levels. I have been MFing at 90 for weeks.

However, if you really want to level, you can change your spec slightly to a more defensive spec for leveling. You can even go CI and have it super easy, being chaos immune, and doing less damage, so not having as much a problem with reflect. If you want to level more easily, I would recommend following Poutsos' build until you hit the end of your leveling. You can get to 95 with a high ES flicker build. When you get to the point where you want to MF and not just easily level,

Kudos on this build Sblak. I didn't think I could keep up with the ultra fast movement speed this flickering provides. But after getting used to it, it really is a blast. I'm only 57 atm with crappy gear; but still having a lot of fun.

After getting used to dieing (which who cares when you can make it back up in a very short time) and discovering why (no Mana and standing in a pack) it really is awesome. I'm self found like you started and love finding stuff and selling so this will be great.

One question though atm, is it the desync that is leaving me with no mana or a huge string of misses? It appears like I am missing a lot sometimes, but it hard to tell moving so fast. My accuracy is 84%. I need to bump that up I know but it's hard and still keep resistances up. Hell my life is only 676 and my ES is only 447.

How far will this dagger take me do you think?

You are almost there as far as your gear. I would get new rings and an amulet. Something like these.

My first goal in terms of passives would be to drop Soul Syphon, the intelligence point right next to it, and Mind Drinker. I wager that you do more than enough damage with 2% on the Crown of Eyes that you are maxed on your mana leech. Only you max mana increase would help you gain it back faster, not increasing the amount leeched.

I would drop the 2 points in accuracy and Acuity. With those 7 points I would get the two points by Depth Perception and then Adder's Touch. Adder's touch is insane damage, but it doesn't show its poison bonus on the tooltip. These are the changes I would make:

I would then work toward Nullification and Void Barrier, for more ES, and increased Evasion. Both of those will take you upward through the harder maps.

That gives you a boost in damage, and leads to the next, harder step.

Learning to use the Divination Distillate flask. You can only keep it up when you are running out of mana. So you have to have enough max mana that you regen/max leech back enough to almost keep you going. And then you flask. You can't use Soul Syphon and divination distillate at the same time. You will play better with the 6% max resists and more MF, but it will be harder.

Finally, RF is just hard to get down. It's another thing to time besides the mana and the flask. It takes practice. But it destroys stuff. You have to use the following types of flasks to use it with this build.

The first takes away RF when the mobs are all dead. The second reduces the burn and lets you stretch RF between semi distant packs. Only pop RF when you are about at flicker range from a pack. Hit RF, then flicker til everything is dead. And then run to the next, or turn off RF, make the call depending on the distance.
