[3.0] How to Flicker. Terminus Est Edition!

on a 5l daresso's defiance what should my flicker strike set up be?

This build is great fun. I have been sailing through maps and I can easily get through everything up until tier 11 no problem. I haven't had any higher tiers drop yet. I had held off doing Uber lab until I tried it today. I tried to kill Argus and he killed me twice before I decided I wasn't ready. Now I'm not sure if today was just a rough day for Lab but his hits would hit me for about 90% of my hp. I'm at 5235 hp. I think my damage is fun but my ability to survive big hits is pretty weak. What can I do to fix this? Do some people change out skills or gear for bosses? Is the Abyssus making those big hits hurt that much more? Would using a rat's nest for Uber lab be better for survivability until I can get my acuity? Thanks for any help or insight you can give. Great build!

Hi there im still sort of new to PoE but what confuses me is that ur linked build has resolute technique... which says u never deal critical hits... yet this build stacks tons of crit and the sword generation aspect requires them... so im confused, does the game still count crit hits even if they r instead forced to be normal? sorry, im just confused still about that certain part of the build.

You get the critical nodes BESIDE resolute technique, you don't get resolute technique because as you pointed out, it would kinda kill the build :)

*I also have 4 jewels that are 7% life + double damage mod, currently 3 equipped, will get my final jewel slot next level.


I feel like short of getting a 6L perfect terminus (~100c just for a perfect terminus, which would only be a 4% damage increase approx for the sword, not counting the 6th link), atziri's acuity and headhunter i've more or less maxed out this build considering harbinger is still only like 2 weeks old.

I'm sitting at 6.4k hp and ~385k dps fully buffed (36k flickers * 9.7 attack speed + 10% intimidate) but i still haven't moved past tier 11 and i kind of frequently die to the shaped racecourse tri-boss. If I have temp chains or vulnerability or they have boosted damage, i'm probably taking a death (granted i'm usually an idiot and try to fight all 3, and end up effectively getting 1 shot.)

T10 mesa is fine, if i run up to oak with full charges I can usually blow him up before he even gets his first immortal call off.

Just not sure what more I can do to really improve upon myself outside farming massive amounts of currency.

And given that my resists are 75/90/90 with a belt of deceiver on, i don't know if i should just keep it on because of the great perks it gives or move to a rare belt just to get a bunch more HP.

I have around 85% crit chance while in a map, with .33 mana leech as well as atziris acuity with a 96 mana pool left from reserves, yet I still sometimes dip below 40 mana which doeesnt allow me to cast flicker strike and I end up dying..

How do I combat this? Is this because I somehow did not crit?
