Q&A ;

"

Do you stay away from corrupted essences since they can't be leeched from?

Nope I don't. I use Vaal Discipline and kill any essences in a few seconds.

"

Is there any way to upgrade this build?

Yes there is. You can craft Vaal Regalia with Essence of Insanity to get Onslaught when hit. Since You use eye of innocence, you always hit yourself :)

"

Packs of porcupine Goliaths straight up one-shot me... Any tips?

Use unique Pyre Ring instead of your rare ring.

I will add some more videos soon.

Special thanks to my fellow guild friends and karapipi :)

Nice build, well done.

Omg!! Flicker and Shaper kill??? Nice nice

Threw a version of this together yesterday and it's a ton of fun.
Nice build :)

This is definitely more then what you expect from flicker. Nice build with a lot of fun...

Hi, nice build!
but I have some troubles with sustaining in maps. Can u take a short look over my char and give me some tips?

Hi C_T1998, I just checked your profile and saw that you dont have %80 stun avoid chance enchant on your boot and 20-35% stun avoid chance craft on your helmet. When you get those, you wont be stun for 4 seconds each time when you kill an enemy.

Thank you for following my build and let me know if you have any other question :)

Hello! Couple of questions for you.

You have 4 jewels listed as 'examples', however you have likely only have 2 jewel sockets to place them in. In addition to this, you did not link 'Energy from Within' which is likely the jewel in your socket near the melding wheel. If this is the case, it is not listed, and we still have a mystery about your thoughts on socketing all of these jewels. Currently, the build only has 2 sockets for these rare jewels if you do in fact run EfW near melding.

Combined: with the 4 jewels you listed the build has 72% ignite chance from gear and passives. The guide states:

"

%100 chance to ignite mobs

With only 2 sockets for ignite jewels, that number is 66%. Do these feel 'good' enough to you for ignite purposes? How does it feel for random rares?

Flammability can only add 14% without aura effectiveness. This still doesn't reach 100%, however, if you think it's often enough, that's likely all you need.

Your guide states 70% elemental reflect damage taken, however this is only when Wise Oak is active. How often do you feel you do not have it available? How critical is Overflowing Chalice management to the build? You also did not choose to take the Alchemist wheel, which would increase your damage tremendously and reduce reflected damage even more when Wise Oak is active. Thoughts?

Do you run reflect content currently at all? Your cons section omits this, and I believe it is a very important consideration.

You indicated to another poster that 20-35% stun avoid chance on helmet and lab boot enchant is needed, yet the guide itself does not make this abundantly clear. Could you consider making a point of this if it is indeed a requirement?

Finally, would you consider a discussion on your logic behind writhing jar as a CI character, and how you have your resistances balanced for Wise Oak usage? It may be apparent to some, but making a point in the guide somewhere on how and why you use these might help newer players.

I've gone ahead and added the guide to the listing, and I look forward to your thoughts.

Cheers

Hello Kwitch,

Thanks for adding the build in your build list much appreciated. Let me answer your questions one by one.

You have 4 jewels listed as 'examples', however you have likely only have 2 jewel sockets to place them in.

If this is the case, it is not listed, and we still have a mystery about your thoughts on socketing all of these jewels. Currently, the build only has 2 sockets for these rare jewels if you do in fact run EfW near melding.

I didn't use EfW jewel because of 2 main reason first,i had enough ES to run maps and end game content and secondly EfW jewels are really expensive in this league, so wanted make a cheap build. Additionally in this build we need "chance to ignite" from every possible way. So I got 4 jewels with these stats only ; Inc. Energy Shield / Fire Damage or Increased Damage / ignite chance (preferably +3 ignite chance) For jewel location ; 1- Next to Vaal Pact 2- Next to Fervour 3- Next to Melding 4- Next to Alchemist.

"

Combined: with the 4 jewels you listed the build has 72% ignite chance from gear and passives.

I have 87% ignite chance in HO and in the map i get additional 14% chance to ignite from Flammability (Level 20 gem). So total 101% :) but in the boss fight i get 80% curse penalty and my total ignite chance drops to 91%.

Do you run reflect content currently at all? Your cons section omits this, and I believe it is a very important consideration.

Yes I do. I will make a video and add to my guide tomorrow.

Your guide states 70% elemental reflect damage taken, however this is only when Wise Oak is active. How often do you feel you do not have it available? How critical is Overflowing Chalice management to the build? You also did not choose to take the Alchemist wheel, which would increase your damage tremendously and reduce reflected damage even more when Wise Oak is active. Thoughts?

I get 50% reduce reflect damage from my ascendancy class and additional 20% from passive tree by getting "Ash,Frost and Storm" and "Primeval Force" Wise Oak provides 10% reflect damage taken to lightning damage in my case because my lightning resistance is the lowest one but i receive 20% fire penetration from it because my fire resistance is the highest one.

"

You indicated to another poster that 20-35% stun avoid chance on helmet and lab boot enchant is needed, yet the guide itself does not make this abundantly clear. Could you consider making a point of this if it is indeed a requirement?

You are right! I should have make it clear that mate and I will. Thanks for your suggestion.

Finally, would you consider a discussion on your logic behind writhing jar as a CI character, and how you have your resistances balanced for Wise Oak usage? It may be apparent to some, but making a point in the guide somewhere on how and why you use these might help newer players.

I used writhing jar to activate my stun immunity for 4 seconds. I activate my boot enchant, whenever I kill something, so i used that flask only for boss fights.

Again thanks for adding my build in your list and i will add the details which i explained you above to the build guide asap.

Cheers.
