[2.3] NeverSink's Oro's Flicker Slayer ♦ "The Accelerator" ♦ High clear, tanky, affordable

Is this build viable/updated for 2.5?
"
TL;DR Throwing out the Xoph's Blood gives me a 7.6k-7.7k tooltip. Using Xoph's blood gives me 6.8k tooltip.

Alrighty, Finished up my gear and I don't think Xoph's Blood is very strong for this build. First off here's my gear.

Now Abberath's Hooves was a really nice boost in damage with the amount of strength we get. You would THINK that Xoph's blood"10% increased Strength and +30 strength" lines would add a lot of %fire damage from Abberath's Hooves. It barely does, first of all.
This is my maximum possible tooltip I can get with Xoph's Blood (6828):

This is the tooltip right after un-equipping the Xoph's Blood (6790):

RAW Damage wise and from the %fire increase buff I hoped would synergize with Abberath's Hooves, it's very minor. But of course you could say that Xoph has 10% fire penetration on it.

But look at this tooltip damage using Atziri's Flask (which is ridiculously easy to keep up with this build) and NO amulet at all (7637). (we can't use Xoph's Bloodbecause it destroys the chaos damage we deal):

Nearly 8000 tooltip damage without an amulet. Now consider what it could be if we got a decent amulet.

All in all I think Atziri's flask is too good to give up for Xoph's Blood, as the synergy is lacking. But I will say that I really like Abberath's Hooves with this build.

Update: Xoph's Heart (Unupgraded version of Xoph's blood) which is currently about 120c, gives a decent damage boost.
I reached 8051 tooltip with it: http://i.imgur.com/KZqn8BK.jpg
~400+ increase from using a regular set up. Whether or not that damage increase is worth 120c I can't say. It would help with bossing though, as the Ash debuff is applied buffing your damage by 20% against the boss.

Is this build still viable in Breach League HC?

Also, compared to other flicker builds, which flicker build is the best for HC?
tl;dr Yes viable in 2.5 Breach, comments below.
------
You can tell when Neversink does quality work when this build page hasn't been updated in 2 major patches but still functions....

so yes, to everyone asking if this is viable in 2.5 Breach, I can confirm that I put this together over 3 days and it works.

I am currently lvl 70, I only have the core items - 6L Oro, 39% Kaom, Heretic Veil, Fireborn Crimson Jewel, 30% Doryani (not necessarily core). In fact, I believe a high lvl rare belt with Weapon Elemental damage increase is likely to provide more DPS, significantly more HP, and a better chance at more resists than Doryani.

My amulet, both rings, gloves and boots are nothing special (yet). I don't really have an intention of putting a unique. I may go with one of the Xoph amulets as the comments above this one supported it, but the rest will be rares.

I look forward over the next 10 lvls to finalizing gear and seeing what else this can do.
Got this build started but with Mokou's Ring + Eye of Innocence (+1 curse). Looking pretty decent so far. I'll need to get better rares and belt + ring with wep. ele dmg and more levels.
I have got something like 100c to spend. I can buy helmet(this with 22lvl blasphemy) or kaom's harth. What I should buy first ?

Kaoms imo, I dont even use the helm... I went with flammability and PoF instead of double curse, use PoF to help with reflect dmg...once I cleared 6k dmg I started killing myself, currently at 7.2k...and with PoF I only drop to half health, without PoF im almost certain I would die on a reflect pact! Kaoms is a large HP boost with a good dmg boost as well! Imo thats better than being able to run enfeeble, only reason he uses it is because of porcupines, but with a large health pool, and a high IC setup I have yet to die to porcupines at 6.5k health, currently lvl 93...
Cool mate, thanks for answering.
Can I buy low fire dmg Kaom and just divine it to get higher max fire dmg? It is even possible with uniques?

You could. But you should not expect to get a good roll on first use and if the price difference is not better than 3-4 divines it will propably not be worth.
