[3.0] crit 1h flicker, 1kk+ dps, amazing map farmer

Hello, exiles. I want to present you my flicker strike character. I always liked flicker strike, but i didn't seen any good lifebased flicker strike builds here on forum, so, i decided to create my!
well, let's start

Note: Don't look on gems in my items. For all gem setups, check gems&links section.



Okay, now we know pros and cons of this build.
Also, i'll explain you my class choice
there are 5 reasons, why slayer > other classes for flicker.
1: Free bleed and stun immunity.
2: 50% reduced phys.reflect taken.
3: Good position on passive tree.
4: A lot of leech.
5: 20% culling strike.

Let's proceed to passive tree. I'll show you final tree (lvl95)

Bandit: Wee need Alira for 20% crit multi and resistances, flat mana regen will be good too on low lvl

Skill tree link

Ascendancy tree:
Bane of legends - Headsman - Endless hunger - Brutal fervour


Pantheon

In 3.0 GGG introduced pantheon system, which grants us good defensive buffs.
For my build i'll recommend take:

Yugul as your minor god for juicy reduced reflect dmg taken

Lunaris as our major god, cause additional phys.reduction is always nice cause of abyssus. Also, some upgrades for Lunaris pantheon like chance to avoid damage and immunity to chained projectiles are good for some situations.








Now, here i'll explain, which items you should use and why
Weapon
Let's start from our dagger. We need dagger with as much flat phys dmg and %crit.chance as possible. Attackspeed isn't important, because our main skill gives 20% more attackspeed, and also each frenzy charge gives 4% increased AS. So, for base of our dagger we chose Demon dagger or platinum kris. If you can't afford good rare dagger, you can use Bino's. It will be enough for ~ t12 maps.
Here are examples of good daggers for flicker.



Helmet
There is only one option - abyssus.
This is BiS for melee crit characters. It provides a LOT of crit multi, and flat phys dmg, which is important for flicker.
Best ench will be chance to gain frenzy charge on kill for bloodrage. It upgrades our chance to frenzy on kill from 25% to 55%!
Even after crit multi nerf, this is still best choice for pure dps


Gloves
Well, we have 4 options.
They are cheap and provide you good crit chance and multi.
This is the best option for mapping, really! Rampage and unholy might gives nice boost to clearspeed. And a lot of fun.
Acuity is the best choice, cause instant leech on crit makes you immune to phys and ele reflect, also this is the only one option which gives u life and intelligence, when we talking about unique gloves.
You can use rare gloves with life, resists if you aren't capped, maybe attack speed, phys dmg to attacks, accuracy. Spiked gloves will be good base, because of implicit.


Body armour
Cause of abyssus, best choice will be lightning coil. You don't need 6l for this build to work, 5l will be enough.
Other option is:
It will be good, if you don't have any problems with phys damage mitigation. But forget about phys reflect maps, you'll one-shot yourself in big packs


Boots
you can get any rare boots with life/res/evasion/anything you need. Ms isn't important, if you are using Whirling blades. If you want to use Shield charge, try to get at least 20% MS. Best base for our boots will be two-toned base, cause enchantment on boots isn't that important
here are some examples of nice boots:


Shield
Like boots, on shield we need high life and elemental resistances. Also, good bonus will be high evasion OR free prefix to craft phys.dmg to attack from Haku. Also, phys damage and accuracy will be nice.


This unique shield is a good option too. It doesn't have good life roll or resists, but it gives a lot of dps cause of "hit's cant be evaded" mod. And also, you don't need accuracy on rings if you'll use it.


Belt
As belt you need rustic sash with high life, resistances and WeD.


Also, there are some unique options
You can use this belt if you have Atziri's acuity, it will give nice chaos dps boost.
This is very budget option. If you don't have money on good rare belt, you can use it. But it provides 0 life, so, i'll recommend you co change it as soon as you can.
This item boosts our clearspeed by 2-3 times, but it worth 70+ ex. If you can buy it, and can cap you resists without belt, i'll definetly recommend you to use it. Flicker with HH will give you unforgetable experience.


Rings
You should try to get decent rings with crit base and hp, accuracy (ignore accuracy if you are using Lycosidae) and elemental resistances. flat phys dmg will be good too.
Ring like these will be ok:


Amulet
Try to find crit amulet with crit multi, life, phys dmg, maybe attributes if you need them. If you are playing std, you can get wraeclaw talisman with high roll of explicit crit multi, phys damage and life, something like this:


Flasks
Flasks are only your choice, but i'll recommend to afford Taste of hate, Atziri's Promise & Lion's Roar to boost your dps and survivability. Also, vessel of Vinktar with PtL conversionor and Sin's rebirth will be good choice. Remember: for vinktar's, you'll need shock immunity flask. I'll recommend to roll basalt for shock immunity, cause phys reduction is always nice.


Jewels
On jewels we looking for %max life(life is important!), ele resists if you are not capped for merc, and dmg stats such as: %phys.dmg with daggers, %melee crit multi, % global crit multi, % phys dmg, % melee dmg, % melee phys dmg while holding a shield, % phys dmg with 1h melee weapons.
Also, if you have problems with frenzy charge generation or can't afford abyssus with enchantment, you can use from breachlord chayula, just take "cloth and chain" node and put jewel near it, you'll get free 15% chance to gain frenzy charge on kill









That's all for now, exiles! Feel free to ask questions in this thread!

Я - не пробовал, но один тип который взял 100 на хк лиге играет щас этим билдом только через рейдера. Говорит что ему нравится. Дохну редко довольно, только если рандомная херня произойдет.

Nice build, im doing a similar one but with 2h sword and blasphemy + assassin mark for power charge generation, sitting on 86% crit chance. Just waiting for league to end so starforge's price gets lower in standart, then i will convert my build.

edit: no taste of hate? im disappointed :P

tooltip kak u chuhana so standart ligi s mirror daggerom, lol.
