Multistrike+Flicker working as intended?

I use a CI Crit Shadow build as I utilize Blood rage to gain frenzy charges. Now that I can spam Flicker, even more so now with multistrike, it seems that I do way more damage and survive a ton more than before this gem. Was this unintentional or have I just unlocked the correct way to use it?

Edit: I'm at lvl 68 with perhaps 3.5K dps on Flicker with ~600% crit multiplier. So you can see how it would be ridiculous with my 42% crit chance =P. I've seen others with about 31K dps on Flicker.

wouldn't say it's intentional for that specific combination but they are ok with it after a week or more extra testing the new supports...it might get tweaked later but you should be ok for now

Your lvl and the lvl you are farming at? But generally if its ranged mobs they wont hit you as often because you move around faster.

It looks insane( and fun! ), but does it actually work on maps and whatnot? Personally the closest thing I've tried is LeapSlam with ridiculous speed, and it's as if everything just hits you at once. So, is this combo insta-death at high levels?
How did you get 42% Crit chance? You'd need at least 600% crit strike for a 7% base?

I guess its possible but damn why is the dps so low then :O.

'course, It's possible to get more than 7% Base, so that helps :P 9% on a Dagger isn't too difficult to roll, and reduces the required Inc. Crit Chance to just under +400%. A Crit Chance gem would make the 600% much more managable too, adding up to 120% or so with Quality. It's quite possible to hit 42%. :)
Also, you only need 500%. You already have base 7% crit chance, so 42-7 = 35 and 5*7 = 35. And he had the 50% gloves as well, prolly amulet, etc., and then passives. So not impossible, but it's certainly close to max without using power charges.

Correct. I have quite a few Crit nodes and crit based items. Although I may have it overkill though with the 42%. It's probably changed within the past few days with a couple item changes but it's still in the neighborhood of 35-40.

Well.....before I took Vaal pact pre-CI, I was getting 1-2 shotted by myself. After this change I don't think it hits me as hard when I get Vaal Pact, but it still hurts. Granite flasks help alot.
