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

"

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?


Well, because he is right to a degree. It comes down to what the purpose of the build is, where you run it, the limitations, etc. You can most definitely feel the reflects. But if you use this to farm dominus/piety you won't have many problems. If you run maps, you'll faceplant on higher ones.

3.5K ES, over 150K DPS, and only 40% effectiveness hurts. Not to mention low armour/EV + desync.

There's no point in opening a 200ex char to farm Dominus..
Would you say this (Flay's build) is viable in higher maps?

If not - my char is going to be deleted in a second.

This build is still effective with godly claw (although you will feel a DPS drop, your life leech will be the same, as before VP nerf).
Sad thing is, nobody expected VP nerf, so no godly claw was crafted yet. And yes, i mean the claw with 6 perfect rolls, similar to those on BiS daggers, or a mirror copy of it.
With any other weapon, you're doomed.

That depends on how high you are talking about. I was able to breeze through 74-75's. 76+ is a very big challenge, especially in group play. Some bosses hit ultra hard.

Build might be viable if you increased ES to around 5K but you'd have to lower dps and MF.

Just wanted to update I dropped Vaal Pact completely from the build which basically gave me a ton of free pts. I'm surviving just fine (ran 4-5 Poorjoys temple maps to test).

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?


lol wtf I never run phys reflect map mod why would i? thats retarded


Why would you run a sub-optimal build that is not able to run reflect maps? That seems to be retarded indeed.

I'm still using dagger. Doing fine. Still kill myself on the odd reflect mob though.

You have a mirrored dagger...

I would love to see your mf flicker build that can run blood magic maps. I have posted (see above) a mf flicker build that can run reflect maps without any problem whatsoever. That is why I refer to a mf flicker build that can not run those maps (and dies when accidentally hitting a phys reflect pack in a regular map) as inferior.

The point is: everyone keeps saying how screwed we are do to the leech change - when all we have to do is making sure that physical damage does not hit us too hard.
