[3.0] How to Flicker. Two Handed Weapon Edition!
Hello,
Should i play this build or the Terminus Est Edition ? Will i get enough frenzy charges to spam flicker ? What are the mains difference about both ? |

" Which build you "should" play depends on your currency. This build here works with baiscally anything from lvl 38 onwards, while the Terminus est edition needs some Uniques which might be within your understanding of "expensive". Spamming Flicker is never a problem with both builds at trashmobs, the thing with this build is it has to kill => more damage per flicker means more stable flicker. The terminus est version generates frenzy charges on Crits, so having more critical chance means a more stable flicker. Which also is the main difference: No Weapon in this world will enable this build to flicker permanently on bosses (switchign skills or using frenzy and flicker both is a way to deal with this), while the terminus est version actually CN sustain flicker charges on bosses. Whether this is desireable or not (damage versus control and position etc) is on your side to decide. Also I guess this build can get tankier than the Terminus est version. Besides the used skill they are really diffrent though. |

first of all thank you for a great guide, as a newbie this guide is really awsome and help me alot and the build is so fun too. The first time i use flicker i was like "oh sh!t wtf where am i"
Anyway, I'm now level 5x and I'm start thinking about the core item, can you help me compare between starforge and Atziri? and I was wondering if I need both 5L on Armor and Weapon or 5L on one of them is enough? (I dont have enough currency for 6L:( ) and the last question is what should i switch with flicker when I face the boss, i tried double strike but double strike + multi strike = 1s stand still for the boss to hit me. P/s: sorry for asking too much question and my bad english and thank you once again. |

One 5L item is enough. For bosses personally i switch the multistrike as well because it locks you in place thus limiting your maneuverability.

Hi, thanks for the guide. I really enjoy Flicker Strike, I tried to make one flicker build happen when I started playing, it failed miserably. Now that I farmed a bit of currency I tried again with your build and TRIED to copy as much of your gear as I could.
Maybe I'm just really bad or don't understand this skill, but how do you fight bosses? I run out of mana quickly, so I took one of the mana leech passive nodes and switch to frenzy to build up frenzy charges. It still takes sooo long and I don't see how I can do shaper any time soon... Also, how do you have 6 frenzy charges? I can only get to 5. (Character should be public) |

Hey, thanks alot for the detailed guide. My only question is: is it really worth it to get increased elemental damge? Flat physical dmg increased my dps more then increased elemental dmg... but its kinda ruff to get all this int, thats why i wear the astramentis atm (till i get better rings/helmet with int on it)

" How did you fare against end-game bosses? What was the frenzy/flicker sustain like? I played https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/1841308 early in the league and dropped it, now looking to go back to flicker. Wondering if I should make a slayer or stick to raider. I already have a 6L starforge and was looking into using it somehow. |

Hey, looking for this one for Mayhem
Any change needed/you think of to make it work on [3.1] ? Also I'm confused for the below (no I did not read the 200+ pages of comments, so might been already answered) At the very top, in "Skills", you say : Flicker strike + Multistrike + Melee Splash* + Melee physical damage + Fortify* + Melee Physical Damage on Full life + Ruthless Because, as you mention "since you are going to be a Slayer you'll be pretty much constantly at full life" then at the end of the guide, you go for (FAQ 11) : When you use Blood Rage you can never be on full life, ... making the Melee Damage on Full life support gem unusable. so, usable or not ??? thanks cannot wait to jump around like crazy |
|
Yes, Bloodrage works with "melee damage on full life", GGG changed this without mentioning it greatly, which made it "sneak" into this guide mid-season.

I'm sorry if this question has been answered already, but I was not able to find it in the forms.
For the Flickerstrike gems you list 7 gems and it gets confusing on which ones to use. Long story short which 6 gems should I use with the the melee splash from the slayer passive? |
