Hey everybody this is KG!
A lot of my viewers have been begging me to make a guide for my flicker shadow, so I am doing just that. This is the build that I have been playing for 5 months, and I have put a lot of time and effort into it. I really hope you guys enjoy the guide and find it helpful!



Pros&Cons
Pros
Insane clear speed.
High flask uptime means you can always have 3~5k Armour and 10% additional evasion.
Cons
Expensive and very gear dependent.
Vulnerability to Reflect

How to deal with reflect

Spectral throwing from a distance is a good way to detect reflect packs. The damage of your spectral throw will not be enough to 1-shot you against a reflect pack, but it will trigger enduring cry from your CWDT setup. You can then use the endurance charge(s) to manually cast immortal call and begin flickering until the pack is dead.
Somewhat vulnerable to phys reflect until you get Atziri’s Acuity.

Skill Point - Attack Speed - Frenzy
If you have an Auxium get a Power Charge instead

Level to Switch to C.I.
Spoiler
Most high ES gear requires lvl 68 or more to equip, so you can switch to C.I. around that level. This will allow you to boost your dps by using Melee Dmg on Full Life.

Auras
Spoiler
Start with Discipline for extra ES and Hatred for damage.
Once you have 7k ES, you will want to use Grace instead of Discipline.
I'm using Discipline and Hatred because I already have 50% evasion rating without Grace.
It's much more efficient to have extra ES in this situation for more survivability.

Flasks
Spoiler


1. Granite with at least 90% increased armor.
2. Atziri's promise for extra dps.
3. Jade flask with dispels frozen/chilled (or dispels shocked if using Auxium).
4. Divination Distillate (optional).
5. Mana flask or topaz/ruby flask with removes bleeding.
Note: Good prefixes to have include Surgeon’s (recharge 1 charge on critical strike) and Perpetual (increased charge recovery).

Gears
Spoiler

Starting Gear (required to enjoy the build)
Spoiler


Dagger: At least 150 pdps, 9.5 crit chance, and 1.4 attacks per second
(Bino's is a nice intermediate between a starting dagger and a GG mirrored one).
Chest: at least 800 ES or 600 ES and 800 Evasion
Amulet: at least 30% Crit chance and at least 60% Crit Multi
Shield: at least 400 ES, 40% total tri-res, 40% to one other res.
Gloves: Legacy Maligaro’s (followed by Atziri's Acuity)
Belt: Chain Belt with at least 40 ES and Double res / Tri res (Later Auxium)
Diamond Ring: ES and flat physical damage
Helmet at least 300 ES, and/or 300 Evasion
Shoes at least 150 ES, Double Res, 25% Movement Speed
Tips

I recommend starting with a legacy Archon Kite Shield (24% all resist implicit and preferably 2~3 high resists so you won't have any problems using auxium). At the end, you will want to swap to high a evasion/ES shield but you need to make up the resists you lose.
For people who can’t afford Auxium, they need to use at least 2 flasks with dispels frozen/chilled and also you can boost your damage by using rustic sash.
Auxium users need to make up resists on rings and boots.

How expensive the build is
Spoiler

Minimum 20 ex and Maximum 1000 ex
If that discourages you, remember I started this build with 0 currency!
I put a lot of effort and essentially all of my currency into this build.



I now have over 700 deaths and I have no regrets...
Except for these
