I think this is because Flicker is no longer very popular. The way you'd build a Crit Dagger Flicker is almost exactly the same as the way you'd build a Crit Dagger Spectral Throw, but ST has a lot of advantages:

1) No need to use Frenzy charges to keep attacking
2) Better AoE coverage
3) Doesn't cause headaches from your screen going crazy
4) Generally safer since you are in control of positioning and is ranged
5) Doesn't grind down when there's only one target

Only disadvantage is that DPS is lower, but once you get super geared you don't need the extra DPS that Flicker provides, so who cares.

On my list i indirectly included flicker strike when i listed CI crit melee builds.As a guy who solo/duo his way to 96 playing flickerstrike,i know perfectly well that flicker is OP for solo/small party playing,having the highest possible melee DPS,and not getting hit due to teleporting,while it is bad for full parties,unless some is using conduit.Also it is the second most desync-fest skill.That's why on my flicker build i always make use of 3 attacks(flicker/frenzy/LS) instead of one,and also why my tree is also optimised for using double strike +splash for parties.

As Sorak mentioned flicker builds are indeed not popular anymore,cause spectral throw is just down right better in all areas.

However it is very much Atziri viable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZfKxGTk5jg&feature=youtu.be

Of course,if i am playing seriously,i am changing to 6L frenzy for the trio bosses and atziri her self,cause it's safer and most times faster,but lately,since this fight has entered the braindead farming territory for me(payed her over 100 times),i don't even bother removing the splash gem while fighting her.

Great video! I've partied with a few Flicker Strikes in low maps, but never seen anything like your video. Congrats on the self-made build

I don't rly ever desync w flicker. I do however desync while using whirling blades for mobility. I also wipe everything out in full party 78's.

I do wonder what people consider the most OP build for hardcore leagues.
The chance to Vaal +1% maximum resists on an amulet is less than 1/300.

Cast on dead portal build obviously, the strongest party build imaginable to men.

It's a very noble build, sacrificing one-self to save the party in danger.

Cyclone Coc variant imo, can run up to 120% alched maps for an investment of roughly 6/8 exalts without danger. That's pretty solid cost/efficiency wise.

Link the best cyclone CoC build? I tried one in nemesis and found it mediocre compared to my usual builds.

^the key part on hardcore is not dying, and that's the main bonus a cyclone coc ek variant has going for it.

I don't have any links to builds because i create my own, sorry.

It has mediocre clear speed do, but given that you can run 120% lvl 78 maps without danger should off-set that imo.
