Hello,

First I'd like to say that I'm lv.82, currently playing and enjoying this build a lot, it's simply the most fun I've had in PoE since, ever. So, thanks.

I have a question about your ring and amulet choices.
You say that we should go for WED over flat lightning dmg.
And I agree with you, I've tried swapping a WED ring for a flat Lightning dmg ring, and the toolbox DPS are way higher with the WED ring (lose/gain is about 10% of my dps).

But you seem to be favoring flat lightning dmg on your current gear.
- Is it because finding a good ring with WED is hard/expansive?
- Or is it that having some clusters that i don't have yet, like Forces of Nature, it changes the way a % multiplier like WED impact the overall DPS, making flat dmg better?

Same question goes for the amulet, this time with +% lightning dmg over flat dmg, even if the flat rolls are higher and the +% dmg is lower.


Glad you are enjoying the build!

I use the one rare ring mostly because good WED diamond rings with life, resists and accuracy are ridiculously expensive. I will probably try to upgrade as soon as I finish (get to 90) my current project in EHC. A 40% WED ring would deffo beat my current one.

For the amulet, I just thought because the flat rolls can go so high (up to like 5-72 iirc) it beats WED or is at least close, and again, flat lightning is always going to be cheaper than WED on a good piece with life, crit, and evasion. If I can find a similar ammy with WED instead of flat, I'll see what is better.

Also, I'm pretty happy with my DPS at the moment, so I have been more focused on trying to add more life and defences instead of trying to increase dps.

Hi there and thx a lot for build!
Can I replace WED gem by any blue one in 5L Kinstugi?
Now, at the start of running map content I use such variant and don't have enough currency to try to get another gem setup.

Hi mate, although neither will be quite as good, you can replace WED with increased critical damage or added lightning damage in your 5L.

Sorry for the late-ness but thank you for the great response. It really cleared up a lot of questions about the build. Although this is pretty self-explanatory from your skill build, you could probably add a little section on the gear section for jewel stat priorities. Anyways, have a good day


good point, added it.

i can add a leveling skill tree if there is interest but honestly i don't really recomment using Flicker until you hit 62 and have at least 4 ascendancy points for Deadly Infusion. I tried it from 45 with a mightflay and it was terrible.

Just get all the life nodes early on and level with firestorm or bladefall.

just retooled a bit to try to use vaal pact with atziris step to have a go at Uber Atziri. blood rage degen is extremely annoying even with the reduction from Kintsugi and leo shield mod, and you (stupidly) don't even get any benefit from the leech. one thing i hate about this game is that a lot of leech is restricted to physical damage only.

looks like Acuity will be necessary for Uber, I'll report back once i can afford a pair and roll another helm to make up the resists.

so it might be a while as no one is enchanting evasion helms and i don't want to roll over the one lion pelt i have. once i get 36/40 in league I'll start running uber lab to get one.

in the meantime, ideas on how to make this hc viable? Next hc roll I'll run this build. but i would like to get 6k life at least.

should i do this build? is it any strong? when can i start using flicker strike? what should i use until i can use flicker strike?
If you juts read couple post above, you could have seen what poster said about lvling.
you can start using at lvl 62 flicker.For me lvling was shit, cuz this was third char what i played above 60 lvl. It cost to me about 50 chaos to buy whole starting gear.
About build it is very fun to play.

Thanks for the build.

first of all, tnx for the build.. it inspired me to change it (with some help from my friends), i expect it to be much better once i get some better evasion and optimize gear around a bit more... changing still in progress, but i no longer have to use bow, and frenzy charges are very consistent.
gear as of today.
