Notes:




Flicker Strike

I use Flicker to close in on enemies, also as a utility skill that engages other functions.

I aim at the target i want to attack, usually in the middle of a pack, and then a quick 1-2 combo of Shift-Flicker-DS to teleport to that location and then instantly unleash the Dual Strike. As soon as the multistrike animation finishes, i repeat the sequence.

Spoiler


The sequence combines the elusiveness of flicker strike and the devastation of dual strike at the same time.

I've placed the flicker in the following setup:

Flicker
Fortify
ECoMS

Each Flicker strike grants fortify and an endurance charge.


Skill Preferences

Attacks with FB can reach the edge of the screen and can clear the area very quickly without chasing mobs, the action is similar to Reave.

Dual Strike has the highest dps and is the boss destructor. But the small area of attack slows down clear speed since we're constantly chasing down mobs. In a group where your primary function is dps for bosses, DS wrecks face.

Lightning Strike is the mixture of these 2, very strong power close range and a very wide and long projectile attack, but at lower damage.



My personal preference is Frost Blades for clear speed.
So many strikes within one breath.
But only one strike needed, for certain death.

Hi,

will try this build for my duelist in Talisman League! I was using your reave guide until now.

I am little bit missing a leveling section in the guide:
Like what to do with 4L or 5L instead of a 5L, which path to go on Tree first ...

By the way this fatal toxin circle in the tree isn't worth it when you equip a binos?

Nice guide anyway, bumped!
Thanks

Hi.

I don't think I saw any mana leech/regen/gain on hit. Is sustaining mana a problem?

Hi, thanks for checking it out.

It works just fine as a 5L if you remove increased AoE. The damage will more or less be the same.

Fatal Toxins is very powerful. And it's worth the 3 points. I didn't take it because the regen i get from Bino already hits 5-6k, any more is overkill. In my reave build i hit 20k with fatal toxins so it's great.

I take the 3 Spirit Void cluster nodes just above IR. It's solves all mana problems

how do you generate end charges
Hi

Is a non-legacy LC better than Deresso for chest?

30% is fine. But any chest would do.

I chose LC because DS needs you to be up close and face some hits
