Is this build still viable?

It still is, but it is leaning towards the meme-ish side a bit more. I would suggest you use my other Flicker Strike character. It is a slayer/duelist that can tackle end game content. https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2311306

Hey

I'd need some advice

https://pastebin.com/LhC2iCk2

I'm mostly having problems with being too squishy. I'm killing everything very fast and good leech too but pretty much 1-shot exploding randomly for no reason.

I'm enjoying playing flicker atm and would like to get this to work bit better :) i've just recently picked up this game so not really good @trading/geting currency. I got like maybe 10c and my first ex dropped.

Took a look at your skill tree from your PoB and I can see some huge outliers already. It looks like you followed the tree a bit, but there are some nodes you are grabbing that are not even what differed from my tree. For example, you are grabbing way more damage nodes over the life nodes. There needs to be a balance. You only have 53% life coming from the tree. Drop some of your damage nodes and grab life as I did on my skill tree examples.

You want to have at least 150% life. You can forgo damage for more life, trust me. If you can't survive, there is no point in even playing a build, right? Can't Flicker Strike when you're dead. :D

Don't worry too much about the currency part for now. Just slowly work your way up and learn the game. If anything, my other Flicker Strike character is a whole lot better than this variant since this variant was a bit more built on the fact that I had specific items on hand already. My Duelist/Slayer Flicker Strike build is a whole lot better and can actually do end-game content. Give that one a check.

If anything, it was WAY cheaper in price as in the build only needs two required uniques that cost less than 2 chaos each. Everything else can be done with rare gear. Check it out and let me know if you need anything else. I am all ears. :)

Here's my Flicker Strike Slayer: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/2311306

Good luck, exile!

so you give us a New skilltree for 3.6 ?
or is this dead here. Put some minutes in this or dont tell it 3.6 build and its fine... i hate the shit all guys rename the builds before the update is live and no one put a minute more time in it to bring it on a current status...

I would suggest you use my other build as this Flicker Strike build was a bit memey. And to be honest, I have not played PoE for a bit now ever since Apex Legends and Etrian Odyssey came out.

The only real change would be some small modifications to the skill trees. I just have not really found time to change them yet. Looking over the updates, the trees are just slightly outdated in the fact that some small nodes have been changed, and some other nodes were added. Item-wise, it still is okay. Technically even with the update, it is still fine. :/ Not much has changed at all but some SLIGHT tree changes.

But yeah, I would suggest you try my Slayer/Duelist Flicker Strike character, rather than this one. I originally only built this one to use 5 mana reservation skills and because I had an Aul's Uprising. My Slayer version was actually built for actual end-game.

I'll see if I can update trees today, but I don't know. :|

EDIT: Looking at the new updated tree and what is currently set for the skilltrees in the guide, the skilltrees will still remain the same. So I don't know what you were complaining about. I could also say the same to you and say maybe you should see how the updates affect this build, which they really don't. Items remain the same, and the new nodes added do not really benefit this build in general. We are still keeping the same pathing as currently there. What I mentioned in the update and changing it to 3.6 still remains fact. :| If you upload the same tree link to Path of Building, you are still getting the most optimal pathing, even with the new nodes added in.

This build is my first try at FS. I like it. Clear and playstyle is nice but I am having a major issue sustaining FS attacks against bosses that are single target. I also drop stacks from time to time while mapping.

Any comments would be appreciated. Cheers!

Looking at your build, you can drop Bloodlust and replace it with Maim. Bloodlust doesn't do much for the build at all. We don't really care about bleed, so just use Maim for more damage instead. It nets you way more damage too, and even with Shaper. You already have a high critical strike chance, so I think you should be able to sustain quite easily against bosses.

The problem I see is that your character is way too squishy. You have a lot of room to get more flat life to your build. Essence Worm is not needed in the build either. You are better off replacing your rares for more life and resistances. Your resistances are not capped off either, which will make it easier for you to get one shot in mapping too. Just do these small replacements and you should see some huge improvements.

I would also recommend you try my other Flicker Strike character for Duelist/Slayer. It is a more optimized Flicker Strike build, and truly and infinite Flicker Strike character.

Good luck!

Hey was just wondering why in the tree you go for claw damage when the main weapon is a two hander?

Thanks for the pointing that out. What happened was that I copied over my other build's skilltree, and not the right one.

I just updated the skilltree to the real level 100 skill tree.

Thanks, once again. Good luck!

I like the build. But I notice in your tree you have a +10 dexterity node that you don't need, below Coordination. You also took two 4% life nodes around Thick skin when you can get 4% life plus a little evasion around Revenge of the Hunted. I would refund those three and get Revenge of the Hunted.
