[3.13] 🔥Oro’s Flicker Strike Raider🔥 | Top tier mapper/currency farmer | 10M+ DPS | All Content

What's the thought process behind Infernal Cry? Flicker Strike attacks (with multistrike) cannot be exterted. If you press and hold alt you can read this in the Infernal Cry gem description.

Is it just for the explosion which cover enemies in ash?

Edit: I just tested to play a while without Infernal Cry and I didn't notice any change in clear speed, both against trash mobs and bosses.

It looks to me like we're just using it for the ash effect, which could provide up to a 20% damage boost (increased fire damage taken on the mob via the ash debuff).

The trick is you have to use it within range of the mobs to get the debuff to stick, which means stopping to cast it. Cast can be instant with the Call to Arms node. Combining that with the recommended binding to the left mouse button and you should be able to kick it off almost effortlessly.

That doesn't help clear speed because we're clearing so fast anyway and spending all our time either flickering or moving to the next pack if flicker fails to chain in. Stopping to use the warcry when we're exploding packs via flicker would just slow things down in most cases. To get enemies covered in ash, you would have to move into the pack first, click again to get the warcry to kick off, then flicker. That's clunky and I doubt anyone is doing that.

It should provide a significant advantage dealing with tough single targets, which is why I assume it's in the build. I'm not far enough up to comment on how it works at the top end, but from my experience, I feel to flimsy to get close to a tough target without flickering to keep leech going. I wouldn't want to risk it for a 20% damage boost, but maybe it's worth it on targets with a ton of HP. The ash debuff will last 6 seconds then before you'll have to up it again.

IMO, it feels like a mechanic you can safely ignoring until you have trouble with single target DPS.

It is a very good guide I am absolutely having a blast atm with this. But I have two questions.

1. Why are we going for + skitterbot dmg in the head instead of the + flicker strike dmg from the lab ?
2.Why are we not annointing whispers of doom (additional curse) , this gives us the option to go for a ring with assasins mark.

Great guide - been smashing through this league and loving the build.

I seem to have hit a brick wall though with Baran - he is practically 1-shotting me and I have no idea how to counter this. Frantically searching for ways to gain a bit more defence to survive his attacks but I'm coming up short.

Any tips?

@steelchampion

I can´t see your gear since your characters aren´t public, but for Baran 4 stone i had some issues before my gear got a bit better. Got easier around 5k life and 1m+ dps. The way for me was to take it slow, don´t get caught in either the squares on the ground or the small things he shoots at his feet. All other mechanics should be possible to dodge/evade. The slam is dodgeable but hard to survive if it hits.

So im having a good time with this build. Its furthest Ive made it in POE. Im actually on red maps and trying to do watchstones.....dont worry buddy I too am struggling with Baran Ive lost a few times now haha. Im just going to keep trying Ill get him eventually.

Im trying to figure out where to go from here for upgrades what would be best.

Im trying to follow the guide, Im not sure how to get the 6L oros fortify. Ive seen a few up that are way out of my price range but only have a few sockets, can yo ustill 6L a corrupted item?

If anyone would be so kind to help my noob self on what I should focus on next few upgrades Id appreciate it.

I dont make the currency a lot of people do, but I got about 6ex sitting around and thats most Ive ever made.

Thanks for guide, and thanks in advnce to anyone who will guide me along! Good times!

yep, 350jeweller+350 vaal to 6socket it, then 1500 fusing + 1500 vaal. It is about 21ex

I got a 6L farrul's fur, is it useable for this build?

Frenzy generation just isnt an issue for this build. You could sell that and buy a boat load of more relevant upgrades.

Where do you get fortify from? Looking at the new PoB it takes some fortify nodes
