[FlickFrap's] "Galaxy" Flicker Build (Not Cheap) [OUT OF DATE]
|
LoPan,
Following your build exactly, I'm permanently stuck at lvl 72 and simply cannot advance further. Did I do something wrong or have I hit an impenetrable gear wall? Highly discouraged and need guidance. My issues: - Build has reached proverbial wall and can't advance higher than lvl 72. Reaching lvl 72 required an untold number of deaths and many 100's of MERC Fellshrine runs (unable to run anything higher reliably without dying, Fellshrine still kicks my ass if i'm not absolutely careful--and at 10%xp loss, it really hurts). It took serious resolve but now I might have truly reached an impasse, fellshrine is too slow especially with the occasional death, and anything higher is guaranteed death thus no progression. - I knew going into this build that Shavs and Crown are the two essential pieces to make this build work.... I still don't have Shavs or Crown and wont anytime soon (at this rate, maybe never). Is there anything I can do to make myself survivable until that point? - Able to run only one aura at a time. What am I doing wrong? What am I not understanding about this game that I can't run multiple auras (more than one, let alone 4+)? I'm so jealous of people running multiple auras. I have the mana reduction nodes you have, I don't have the shield (+% reserve reduction, which is huge I know, need this). Grace is my go-to aura, it's always on. If not that, I run a dmg aura... but no defensive aura is risky. Current passive Tree. lvl 72: Current Gear: In addition to the Tabula Rasa (only 6-link chest I have), I use:
Spoiler
A few notes: The gloves I interchange depending if i'm rare farming, For boots, it was blood dance, now darkray vectors (experimenting with the frenzy buffs); rainbowstrides dropped for me recently but I can't get the sockets chromed exactly right. But it's my next upgrade. Long story short; I can't progress, I can't even farm effectively. What do I do? What can I do other than putting this entire build into carbon freeze, start up a new easy-mode character, spend two weeks getting to lvl 80, then untold weeks farming for uniques/currency until Shavs/crown? P.S. Since I currently can't level, I've been doing Mervile runs (MERCILESS) to farm uniques, hoping for something useful to sell for trading up. Her second stage is not an issue because she spawns minions that keep flicker charged, but her first stage kills me multiple times before I kill her. I have no frenzy charges going through the instance, and there's no minions, and my lightning strike seems so slow. Meanwhile, she two-hits me. Advice? I'd prefer farming a better boss but she's the only boss I can reach and dispatch with some level of efficiency. What attack(s) do you use so I can make this more efficient? Thanks.

" EDIT: Wrote something else here, then realized I helped someone else with similar problems a few pages back. I'd def swap out tabula first, even running a 4l with a decent armor or armor/ev would be a better choice imo. Otherwise skim through the post below, not everything applies to you, but the passive tree should help you as you are still life based with no life nodes.

Dig the new layout.
All you need now is a sick gif and this will be complete. It has all substantive aspects, only aesthetics now. |

Could I get any idea for improving my build? Right now I'm level 72 and struggling with easy rolled 66 maps... :/

Is there anything that really upgrades my build and costs less than 4 exalted? Last edited by Spielgrube#1198 on May 17, 2014, 10:04:54 AM

" Yeah, finish your aura nodes and rrrbg your chest to swap out item rarity for melee dmg. Get a better dagger w higher crit. 9%+ flat crit is rly a must. I'm guessing your crit chance is pretty low. Always make sure you have all ur power charges up before flicking. Also roll with surgeons granite and jade flasks as they improve your survivability vastly. IGN:Flickfrap

Thanks a lot for your fast reply!
What do you mean with finishing my aura nodes? According to your CI tree I believe I got every aura node. About my chest: Yeah I allready wasted about 400 chromatics trying to make this chest RRRGB, now I gave up and try to get a armour/es chest to make it rrrgb. My crit chance is 32% without Power Charges, a better Dagger get's quite expensive, but I will search one. Currently I'm using theses flashs: |

" Sry, forgot you were using the CI tree. If you can stand the mana loss, I'd lose the 2 for deep thoughts and get that 26% increase aura effectiveness. If not, it doesn't rly matter. Yes, the main issue here seems to be that scary low crit chance. You really need to get yourself a 9% or higher crit dagger and start stacking more crit nodes. This is a crit build, you rely on this hard. Also, try and get even a non legacy set of Milagros as this will help your crit and dmg alot. Just remember to keep those resists capped. IGN:Flickfrap

hey there LoPan I am new to the game and ive been following your guide since the beginning, now I am kind of poor but I recently found my first exalted orb. That should help me a bit. Anyways I am now lvl 55 and I completely stuck since I just keep dying and dying, it seems impossible right now. Plz tell me what I need to change, here is my gear and passives.
