[3.0] How to Flicker. Two Handed Weapon Edition!
I wouldn't recommend this build for HC though, the unpredictable nature of flicker strike is definitely not something you want when you play HC

Did you ever go around testing this build on something that's NOT a duelist? Or are the duelist ascendancies so good for this build, that even the non-slayer ones blow everything out of the water? Was thinking of raider especially, maaaaaaaybe scion?

In my opinion are vastly inferior to a slayer both defensively and offensively. I've tried a raider once ... was not impressed at all.

How can we level this build if we have no currency as a league starter?

" Yeah, right after asking wanted to atleast see what the builds could give on paper on PoB. It felt like they could be okay, but then I realized just how overpowered slayer is and how much you'd be missing. It feels like it could only work out if youre going for oros or something, but that's a whole other build and even then slayer is just so juicy now... Will be trying out the slayer route afterall now, thanks for the amazing guide! |

" This section is a little confusing regarding Slayer. One part says to use Flicker strike + Multistrike + Melee physical damage + Fortify + Melee Physical Damage on Full life + Ruthless (which is a full 6 link) The other says to use Faster Attacks and Added Fire Damage for the 6L gem setup. So what is the proper 6L for a slayer. |

Thanks for noticing! It seems that i've changed the support gem setup but forgot to fix the note! It should be fine now (both Faster Attacks and Added Fire Damage don't have a place in this build atm) "I'm going to show you pain you never knew existed, you're going to see a whole new spectrum of pain!!!!!

KorgothBG could you give us your thoughts about
The Red Trail to generate frenzy charges while you are bleeding, + The Golden Rule to actually reflect bleed do you see this viable ? |
|
While an interesting option in my opinion it requires way too much work and sacrifices to be worth it when frenzy charge generation is something that never was an issue for me. Furthermore unless you have disfavor (which is still only 25% chance, though that should in theory be enough) you need to actually find a way to inflict bleeding. And of course on top of that you actually take damage from the bleeding that you've inflicted on yourself, oh and you won't be able to take advantage of Brutal Fervour due to the bleeding immunity that it provides.

Hey man! Big fan of this build, have been having a lot of fun. As I couldn't afford the kitavas feast or chest yet, I ended up using Kaoms primacy and linking my flicker strike in a Bringer of Pain.. It's actually working surprisingly good!
However I've now aquired a 5l daressos defiance and will soon buy a Kitavas feast. Since this relieves my need for impact or melee splash, how does the Flicker setup look like in 3.1? Flicker-Multi-MeleePhys-AddedFire-(AncestralCall/Ruthless) Last one depending on boss vs clearing. Is fortify higher prio than fire? Also, what gems should I link in my daressos? I question if a 5link is really necessary, perhaps for some single target skill, or should I just use the chest to link my skills? Basically: 1. Flicker strike setup with 5L kitavas feast? 2. Gems in 5l daressos? 3. Will a 5L kitavas feast be a downgrade in damage from Bringer of Pain, are there other things than Impact I should change in my tree with the Kitavas? 4. I got a lightpoacher with 9% per frenzy enchant, although my life is running a bit low at 4.3k. Can I keep the lightpoacher and reach at least 5k with only rare rings, amulet, hands and belt? (Belt is already about 160 life with socket) https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Voidshrine/characters This is my character for reference: Zakhthar (I will change impact once I get uberlab) Last edited by Voidshrine#2009 on Dec 25, 2017, 11:31:38 AM
