[2.6] Flicker Build - HIGH-END VIABLE > 5L Cheap budget (3-4 ex)



Flicker Strike has been one of most attractive builds for some time, but people usually didnt want to play it, because they´re not capable to reach until high end. THAT has changed since 2.5 version, where GGG provide us with the necessary utilities to make it work.

Pros
Spoiler
- Fun as hell.
- Cheap budget, only 5L is required.
- Most of the content of the high-end is viable.
- Starter league build
- Clear speed and farm speed.
- 50% dodge attacks / 75% dodge spells
- Inmune to Freezing + Inmune to elemental status ailments (Chill-Ignite-Shock).
- High Armor (30K+). Really Tanky.

Cons
Spoiler
- Chaos damage is your Nemesis. You have to invest in your chaos resistance.
- Atziri / Uber-Atziri is not viable. Flicker´s jumps are unpredictable, last phase against Atziri with damage reflect is imposible to do.
- No HC viable.
- Reroll phys.damage reflect / No life-mana leech maps.

Tips
Spoiler
- For leveling I suggest to start with Spectral throw till level 28. Then, take cylone and don´t exchange it for Flicker, until you get all your gear (boots,amour,helmet and weapon). All of them are essential to make this build works finely.

Stats
Spoiler
- Attack : Full buffed ( without HH )



- Defence : Full buffed



Tree (level 91)


Bandits
Spoiler
- Normal: Oak (+40 to maximum life)
- Cruel: Oak (+16% Physical damage)
- Merciless: Kraityn (+1 to Frenzy charges)

Ascendancy
Spoiler
- Raider is the KING. There is no doubt here. The synergy with the rest of the build is questionless.

Way of the poacher >>> Avatar of the slaughter >>> Quartz infusion >>> Avatar of the veil

Gems (links)
Spoiler
5L: FlickerStike + Multistrike + Melee phys.damage + Add fire damage + Fortify (weapon)
5L: Ancestral warchief + Faster attacks + Melee phys.damage + Concent. effect + Culling strike
4L: CWDT (leveled) + Molthen Shell + Enfeeble + Vaal Grace
4L: CWDT (no-leveled) + Inmortal Call + Increased Duration + Blade Vortex
4L: Hatred + Artic armour + Herald of Ash + Blood rage.

Probably I will add "Empower/F.Attack" as 6L in my weapon.
Probably I will add "Add fire damage" as 6L in my chest.

Ancestral warchief is absolutely helpful against BIG BOSSES when we are short of damage to melt them down quickly, besides this totem give us another 18% more melee damage when its active.

Gear
Spoiler



- "The masterpiece": HeadHunter. You would love even more your build if you can get one. Anyway it´s not necessary.


*Jewels: Prioritize %increased maximum life > phisical damage > Chaos resistance.
*Improvements: Exchange Atziris Promise for Taste of Hate (more elemental damage).

Note: This build was inspired by "Ifit [2.5] "Too Fast" a Flicker Strike build". I upgraded his build, introducing diferent mechanics and several changes on Pasive skill tree and gem´s setup.
