Vaal flicker striker seems to bad. Add more clear to a skill that already had insane clear, except its now delayed clear?

And next month there is a thread where people say nerf it pls , because some guy oneshots every Boss with vaal flicker

It does 25 hits right? Its definitely going to one shot most bosses lol

Just gonna predict that each enemy can only be affected by 1-5 wound debuffs.. No evidence or anything, just a guess that it'll be somewhat of a wet noodle for bossing, and somewhat more suicidal than normal flicker on clear :p

Pal I made 2 flicker strike characters in the same league why do you think perfectly reasonable arguments are gonna stop me now

Vaal Flicker Strike + Ultra High Attack Speed + High Weapon Base Damage + Molten Shell (High Armor) + Str Stacking + Petrified Blood (High HP Regen) =

Spoiler

Still Melee Build and cannot do all endgame content w/o dying many times

Anyone can just use Youtube and prove you obviously wrong though.

I think Vaal Flicker Strike will be fun as hell and pretty popular, like Vaal Cleave.

Seeing all these new Vaal skills is cool. I wish they added even more powerful and maybe even Vaal skill centric skills which people would specifically build 6 links around to just press once in a map as a potential deviation from the typical 1-2 button playstyle, kinda like how I'm using a 4-6L Vaal Double Strike in my melee build as only a boss killer.

To be honest i'm not impressed by any of the showcased new Vaal Skills.
I may just go Sunder or Tec Slam.


GGG always showcases these new skills in either campaign zones or low tier maps with low map density

Volcanic Fisher (pun intended) projectiles dont seem to overlap that much and the fissure itself has a slow travel time. Also base damage is very low. The Vaal version seems to have an even slower travel time till it connects with targets.

Vaal Caustic arrow ground effects dont overlap with the base ground effect. DOA.
Kinda funny that during the showcase one little trash mob survived.

Vaal Cleave is useless vs bosses. It's mainly a clear skill with that bigger AOE + mini HH buff (1) steal.

And then we have Vaal Flicker Strike.
I mean it looks cool when you do Son Goku teleport punches ,i give them that, but it's not like the enemies will just stand around and do nothing and your character is still vulnerable during these no-damage prep strikes.

I expect the same. It will have a limit of wounds on singular targets to prevent players from one shotting or one phasing bosses.

Biggest issue that seems to be skipped a lot is you are not invulnerable and they boss is going to get a few swings or an aoe out.

Yes, if all the attacks happen and you don't get instantly killed as is the custom for all flicker strikers that get hit, that boss will likely get chonked.

I think it's useless on trash mobs but on a boss, it could be very interesting, maybe even a reason for a crit impale to exist again (impaler that is), wonder how ruthless works with it, that's multiple procs in a jump.

this thread aged like milk

No, it's used for bossing.
