[FlickFrap's] "Galaxy" Flicker Build (Not Cheap) [OUT OF DATE]
|
[THE POINT OF THIS BUILD IS RIDICULOUS DMG AND THE FASTEST CLEAR SPEEDS POSSIBLE]
 
DMG+DEFENSE PICS
FLICKER DMG  LIGHTNING STRIKE DMG  DEFENSES w/ JADE+GRANITE  [First off this build requires Shavs/Crown/Prism] The reason you need these Items is due to the fact that the 5 auras this build uses needs shavs and prism to allow all of your life to be taken up by 3 auras as well as 2 auras on mana without the fear of chaos penetrating your es. And the crown to allow pain attuenment's 30% to apply to your attack damage. I can run solo & full party's in all maps up to lvl 78 and 1-2 shot all mobs, (provided they are not blood magic or physical reflect.) [Added CI & Life based passive trees for those without access to Shavs/Crown/Ext]
Pros & Cons
Pro 5 Auras 6 Frenzy 5 Power Crit Capped Ridiculous Damage High Evasion/Projectiles aren't an issue Fast Clear Speeds Upwards of 60/300+ MF Con Hard to get max res Physical Reflect is a problem Reflect is possible with LS spam, however I recommend skipping this mod all together
Play Style
-You want blood rage up at all times, (Increased Duration gem helps with this.) You rely on the leech/speed/frenzy charges it provides, (this makes 20% fairly important for this gem.) -LS until you have full power charges -Flicker everything into oblivion -LS intermittently as needed to keep power charges up -Keep flicking everything into oblivion -I use whirling blades for quick mobility which I find very helpful, however it isn't core to the build and doesn't have to be used -Also pop granite and jade flasks all the time. Since this is a crit build, this is why we want to roll Surgeons mods on all flasks -Keep an eye out for the odd Physical Reflect and Corrupted Blood packs, (Staunching flask will take care of Corrupted Blood) and you should be cleaning up.
Keystones & Bandits

MF Swaps (Item Rarity gem in 6L Chest in place of Critical strikes & Item Quantity in place of Melee Dmg.) Flasks
CI Passive Tree Alternative(For those without Shavs/Crown/Ext)
Leveling Tips
-Life and mana are important while leveling. -Use life and mana flasks to keep up blood rage and flicker costs. -Pick up Conditioning, Soul Siphon and Mind Drinker/Life nodes on your journeys and remove as they become obsolete. -Head to Mana reserve nodes, Deep thoughts/Charges nodes first, then head to keystones. -Get Ondar's first then save Pain Attunement for once you go crown as it will have no benefit whatsoever before that. -4L Flicker works fine at whatever level you can use flicker, until you equip your hopefully 6L Shavs. -RRRG 4L use: Flicker > Melee Splash > Multistrike > Melee Physical. -I leveled with gear like: -Slither and wurms helps w life and mana leech. -Mightflay will last you all the way up into your early 60s if need be. -Once you get to end game maps you are going to want at least a dagger w 9% or more crit and 200+dps (The rest were just odd lower tiers that I found helpful while leveling) Note that you will die while leveling. It is a struggle for some to climb this mountain to end game. But such is the price of greatness.

Epic.
I've been thinking about going this build for a while now, which keystones would you recommend going for first while leveling? I didn't know if this build would still be viable after the patch but good to know it clearly still kicks serious ass! |
|
" I've mentioned which keystones to go and when in the leveling tips section. Basically I took ondars early and made the links to all of the remaining keystones, saving a few passive points along the way, and once i equipped shavs/crown/prism I filled pact/ghost/pa keytones all at once.

LoPan!
Thank you that you continued the work begun Sblak! He wrote that he sold his gear and probably more for you to be hard work keeping this build! Do not give up! Good luck and patience! I also play in this build until CI. It is difficult, but interesting. Give up - not going! :) |

" Ah I see. Working your way up. Nicely done. Good luck, you seem to be doing fine. IGN:Flickfrap

People running all these auras and all those frenzy/power/endurance charges up all at the same time look like one man friggin galaxies.
|

" Haha, I don't rly have endurance charges up as Immortal Call uses them up instantly, but yeah 7 green balls and 5 blue balls floating around most of the time. That plus the discipline micro it rly does look like a ballin little solar system IGN:Flickfrap
