[2.4] Flickone Flicker\Cyclone STARFORGE

This is a high character level build (I wont be providing a leveling guide)

This is an expensive build!, I am using starforge 6l and another 6l chest!

A version is easily possible with a high dps rare weapon and 5links but thats not the focus of my build

**Please note: legacy voidheart in no way required , we have very high attack speed , even the worst roll voidheart would do a pretty good job.

While you certainly could do this without a voidheart or starforge for the purpose of this guide I will list them as mandatory.

The only other thing needed is a 5 or 6 link on both your weapon AND chest.

Our priority on gear is resistances (till capped) > life > armour

Two ring slots and our weapon are unique, this makes getting resist cap slightly harder as rings are a great source of resist.

Dexterity\Intelect is also required on gear , otherwise you will need to get it on the tree, 2 sets of nodes are available.

My full gear:


The neck slot is a great place to get a lot of dex\intelect

We are dual curse:
Poachers mark is required for flicker to generate charges and help our accuracy.
You can try bloodrage for charge generation and its viable , but i choose to use poachers mark.

There is several choices for the second curse, I use vulnerablity for low tier maps and enfeeble for tier 13+ maps that have a lot of added damage.

Other curse's like assasin's\warlords mark are possible and ive tested them but found vuln\enfeeble to be the best combo.

Also note quality on these gems is important , but we do not level them to level 20 due to intelect requirements.

To be added , with charges and no flasks cyclone is 107k+ dps and flicker is 11k. screen shot to be added ~if you look at the gear section several main skill gems are not 20/20 right now the numbers are good but they will be better.

I have tested many different combination of gems , this combination is not what you would typically see in other builds.

Cyclone:

Cyclone > melee physical > concentrated effect > melee damage on full life > life leech > increased critical strikes.

Flicker strike:

Flicker Strike > melee physical > Multistrike > Melee splash > Melee damage on full life > increased critical strikes

I have done a lot of testing with commonly used gems like faster attacks and flat out with the attack speed the build already has we dont need it. Our ascendency also lets us leech on full life , this makes melee damage on full life a viable option. Life leech is used in cyclone mostly because of the leach per second increase not the acutal leech (the build already has a lot of leech) this allows us to out leach non 1 shot mechanics.

That said feel free to play around with things like fortify, faster attacks , increased aoe , void manipulation (ive tested them all and found the links im using to be better for me.

Helm:
CWDT > Immortal call > Flame golem (or chaos) > increased duration

Gloves:
Leap slam > faster attacks > blood magic > fortify

Boots:
Blasphemy, poachers mark, enfeeble (or vulnerability (level both)), portal

Currently I am only running 3 jewles in this build:
Two of them need mana leech and whatever physical damage stats or attack speed you can get:

Bandits:
Health > point > frenzy charge

Ascendency:
I have tested this build as 4 different classes , assasin , scion & juggernaut , slayer is best.
I even tested as es leech crit assasin but slayer was still better.

Get the two points to headsman last if you have not done uber yet, this build can do uber easy and brutal fervour will be more usefull doing it for the final two points.

I can provide the rt version if people need but i have basically no accuracy on gear so only do the RT version if you are lower level. Under level 90 I would reccomend using RT and switching to non RT at 90.
