What's keeping you alive? No VP is fascinating to me... I want to know how we can live without it :D |

Flicker is a very different playstyle, and takes time to learn. Think of it this way Other characters are fairly consistent in how much dps they deal, and how safe they are. Not for us. For flicker characters, your frenzy and power charges radically change your options. Flickers depend on doing enough damage to kill an enemy every cast of flicker, or every three attacks. As low as you are still flickering, you are totally safe, and with this build everything will die (also if you keep going with this build try to get a faster dagger, makes u less vulnerable to reflect and scales the ele auras better). If you have fewer power charges, then you do less damage, you are less likely to kill an enemy every 3 attacks. Stack up power charges with lightning strike before you jump in. You frenzy charges represent a finite amount of damage you can deal: each frenzy represents 3 attacks. If you run out of charges, you will stall in the middle of a pack of enemies and likely die Flickering seems like this totally yolo thing, but it isn't really. You have to be very calculating unless you are way overpowered for the area: you constantly ask "do I have the charges/dmg to kill this pack?" If you do, just start killing :D. If you don't, lightning strike til you do. Then kill everything :D Hope this gives you an idea of how to think about flicker :D. |

I have used a different path to solve the phys reflect problem:
https://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYBBToFfQW1DPIOSBB7ES8RlhUgFr8ZhhmKGdUajx4aKCoppSo4Kk0rCizpL28wVDMMO-E-zz8nRwZKyE4qUUdTNVbqW69cil9qY0NtGW1sbqpwUnBWcLt713_GhK-H24hCjb-P-pAbmVeZmpoTm7Wdo6Kjpcumf6crpzSpbqxHsbO0xbVItfK297l8vea-OsBRwQDBxcHzwuzDOsNtxczKStkT2xrb1N0N4vfjhOn-6yzrY-wY7UHy4fPq9Uv22vsJ_Kv_k__e I am using Grace + Determination + Iron reflexes to get around 60% phys damage mitigation. I can run phys reflect maps without any problems at all. I now can yolo flicker all over the maps without even looking at bossmods. I had to drop the fire damage aura for Determination, though. Grace alone did not cut it for me. Maybe this helps! |

" I can't see how you can survive phys reflect (in particular if its not just a pack but a map mod). Am I missing something? |
|
" Blood rage leech and some leech on gear thats it. Reflect Lightning strike. |
|
" lol wtf I never run phys reflect map mod why would i? thats retarded |

Skill tree has been updated, this build requires an update :)

" Easy, the new skill tree actually allows for a lot more dps :0. My variant also includes Point Blank for LS. Its ultra good on bosses that take a bit to spawn where charges run out. http://www.pathofexile.com/passive-skill-tree/AAAAAgYABX0FtQzyDkgPxBB7ES8RlhmGGYoZ1RqPKCoqOCpNKwovbzB8Mww7fD7PPydHBkrIUEJRR1M1VupW9V9qY0NtbG6qcFJwVnC7dEF313vXfeN_K3_GiEKMNo2_j_qQG5fQmVeaE5u1naOiLqKjpMKly6lurEexs7TFtUi18rb3uMq5Prl8vea-OsBRwQDBxcLswzrDbcpK1orZE9sa227b1OOE6f7rLOwY7UHy4fPq9Uv22vsJ_Kv_3ohr3nfVT_v1tDjlGWxGcmwyCdbRKlv5YxXw51Qk_dUAwfNcim0ZLR9Ms1AwO-Hi96cr214wVKZ_ Last edited by Basically_Aldin#1403 on Mar 10, 2014, 4:13:37 PM

" Thank you :) How come "Poutsos" Said the FS is no longer viable becuase of the Vaal Pact nerf? I now have 50ex+ and can buy Crown of Eyes + Prism Guardian. I'm afraid to buy them and waste my ex if this build is no longer viable.. Opinions? Last edited by Omga4000#3111 on Mar 10, 2014, 4:30:24 PM
