I've been playing this build for a while now, I'm close to the min-max optimal I guess but I still get oneshot by some bosses if i'm juicing too hard.

Can't do T17s really, idk what I'm doing wrong, maybe I need to swap some skills for the boss? But what skill and what gem combo? I'm totally lost when it comes to bosses.

Uber bosses are not doable mostly as well, this build is kinda pissing me off. Wasted so much time and divs for a mediocre mapping build when I could've done an autobomber for that.

Your character is pretty much the same as mine defensively, although you have about 70% of the DPS I do. First, there are a few optimizations you can make for survivability:

-You don't actually have 100% chance to avoid elemental ailments, only 99% because your Darkness Enthroned is not a max roll. You are probably dying every once in awhile to shocks, especially if there is 50% shocked ground. You should pick up a 100% belt, they are only 9 div and they've held their value steadily (I picked up mine a week ago for the same cost).

-Get a Vaal Molten Shell and pop it on bosses or if you get in a dangerous position while mapping.

-You will die to Ele Reflect from Leap Slam/Frenzy of Onslaught, I suggest swapping out your Awakened Ele Focus gem for a level 5 Awakened Ele Damage with Attacks gem. If you are already skipping Ele Reflect maps, this change will allow you to do them.

-Minor optimizations (every little bit helps):
--Your implicits on your Voice of the Storm and Opal Ring are not maxed
--You can get 2 more distance for your Split Personality by changing your pathing at the bottom right of your tree, take a look at my character's tree for an example

Beyond that if you are dying on T17s it's probably due to map mods or clicking too many altars. This build cannot do every map mod, especially on T17s. I would not do any of the following, especially if you have a lot of increased map effect on your atlas tree:

--Max Res
-Less Defences
-Less Armour/Reduced Chance to Block
-Monsters steal charges
-Cannot leech
-Volatile Cores (doable but annoying)
-Multiple T17 damage mods (e.g. the giga crit mod combined with damage as random element, this is an insane amount of damage when you have increased map effect)

There are other combos that are bad too, especially combined with altars, but the above ones are the ones I just will not do on T17s.

I can't speak to Ubers as I haven't tried them on this character yet, except for Uber Shaper, which I did deathless.

So the question is,

what other skill can this run? Because yeah....flicker strike is fun n all but the random stops when you run out of frenzy charges is kinda annoying.

I know we can slot in a few skills that just WORK but i wanna know suggested ones. if any.

Double Strike of Moment is drop-in without changing anything else.

OK. Nowhere near min-max.

No pen watchers, midgame ES values, no intimidate on lethal, not shock immune, action speed on boots with OsA, comical fracture on boots, smit the weak skilled, missing inversion res mastery, phys prefix on gloves, low pen tincture, two 2mod abyss in DE.

You just didn't build correctly, so maybe don't call a build mid when you can't figure out on how to actually build it with over an hour of video guide for it.

Thanks for the guide, was my first flicker strike build and I like it! I am between starter and mid-game setup but my pob shows about 5m dps compared to your 15m dps and I can't figure out where the missing DMG is coming from (I'm pretty new still so it might be something super obvious). My character has not yet all the passive skills from the mid game setup but I added them in the pob but there is still a 10m dps difference, so it shouldn't be from the missing passives/gems


The body armour is still from the starter setup but it shouldn't have a big offensive impact?

If someone could have a look, that would be greatly appreciated..

Hey, for further build debugging please visit my discord, people there will be able to help you too.

Your main problem is that you switched to the tree where you need a sword with RT corruption, but don't have one. Your chance to hit is thus very low. That is 99% of your problems summed up, they are cheapish again, grab one for 5d.

You can swap Sap of the Seasons for a magic tincture now too.

Your auras can't all work, but you also have stormshroud, so you need to get shock avoidance and drop the Purity aura.

Your light of meaning does nothing, only the ES one is good, but it's giga expensive, just grab some other jewel, you could move your corrupted blood immunity off flask to there.

Your pobb.in doesn't have any gloves lol

And yeah, the ES on the chest does give a good boost to DPS tho, because ES -> damage.

Your lethal pride is useless, you need to get one with intimidate and preferrably rage on hit so you can save the two points you have on your tree for rage on hit. Use my searches in the PoB to buy one.

I would drop headhunter and get your stun /shock avoidance from visage or else where and get the two jewels in the guide. (im getting mine from mageblood)

Find higher shield items, weapon, shield, boots and gloves etc.

Find a 10% intimidate lethal pride.

find a good prismatic jewel.

Get an awakened multistrike.

Where i am at with it atm, very happy, very tanky, map clear vgood, bossing good with double strike swapped. https://pobb.in/d0YIZPV3EpFX

Is it normal that you lose frenzy charges when getting hit by some bosses and mobs?(Without the map modifier "Monsters steal Power, Frenzy and Endurance charges on Hit"). I often lose my frenzy charges after getting hit and that's annoying. Not sure if I messed up somewhere with my equipment or the skill nodes.

Ps. Okay found my problem. It's not getting hit by enemies that consumes frenzy charges but using flicker strike itself. But I guess that's normal.
