Farming as flicker - guide and tips

Introducing build - Flicker Mf farming , basicaly its only for solo farming max you can go its duo. And its not for leveling, but for an End game. I run Marathon few days ago 24 hours farming non stop got 115 uniques so far and that was with many breaks for crafting, going high lvl maps, wasting time basically )
Current stats 411IIR/130IQ + Flask (53/23).
Dps is 13k in town ( trying to recolour shavrone, no luck yet) could have 15k max(4red gems) around 30k under 6 frenzy charges

The passive tree on low life

You can make some variations of passives - its not a must. I prefer to have 40+ block chance and the shield gives me half of Es I Have .
Bandit rewards:
Normal kill all, Cruel help Oak or kill All, merc help Kraytin

Current gear

Now its worth a lot , but it's still 3 slots of perfect( weapon mostly, shield and helmet)

Gems needed : Flicker strike supported by Melee splash,Multistrike, quantity and rarity (try to get q 20 lvl 1 at least - q gives very much dps for those skills, you can level them up to lvl 15 in few hours its pretty enough) if you have 6 linked , the 6th could be Increased cirtical damage or Melee physical damage( using faster atacks currenctly -trying to get rid of it )
Auras: Purity , grace, Hatred( if you low life + wrath and Discipline)
Reduced mana for all auras ( and blood magic gem if low life build)
To get charges - Frenzy linked to Multistrike-Powercharge on critical-melee physical damage( also dramatically increaes your dps at boss fights due to additional power charges)
Ofcause you'll need Whirl blades -supported by faster atacks
Blood rage supported by increased duration
2 Curses main is Critical weakness , enfeeble if you have some troubles with high lvl bosses or exiles

I'm posting the steps below , from what I've started and some tips to get what you need.

Currently I've been farming Anarchy for around 1 month( almost 2 weeks here on standard) using my build and upgrading my gear .In the beginning, I had only pretty simple items (less then 20 exalt totatlly worth), Similar items are easy to buy.
Had like 700 Es 5 linked chest (5-7 ex worth) Phys dagger with like 250 Phys dps ( 1-3 exalt),
The Following 4 items Im still using ( boots can be wondertap also if have shav)

With Shavr :
1) You can run 5 auras instead of 2-3
2) The more life you have the less stuns and shocks you receive
3) The Blood rage Gives you AS bonus(54%)
disadvantages :
1) No Chaos immune - should be careful with few boss and 1 exile
2) Less Es i had 5.5 now i have like 4.3k
I like shavroen more, though I've been farmign with it only for 1 week

After all :
Profit you get : High mobility on maps> high clear speed> many uniques, you are capable to do any map mods (except Blood magic ), even double reflect maps + vulnarability. Any lvl of maps ( i wouldnt recommend bazaar (unless you really want to try) its deadly for flicker cause of statues you cant recharge frenzy charges m and they stun you if you try to atack with frenzy), high survive ability - you are not getting hit .
Some critics:
Your screen is schaking - Dont forget to turn off screen shack in optins!
It's still shacking! - It's just how the build works, cant help with that!
Your Es is pretty low and no chaos immune - Im not getting hit 95% of time , if im out of flick - i have an armour flask , chaos doest bother me at all
You die too much - Its not a leveling build , idc - I'm getting profit!

I'm open to any questions - you can find me on stream or post it here.

I can't understand how you can spam your flicker strike. It has a bit long cooldown.

Blood rage gives you charges when killing monsters, Each monster= 1 charge

oh, thanks :)

Could you see a build similar to this working for leveling at least to get through the game but not end game maps? Was actually debating doing this once game was actually released tomorrow as flicker spamming is fun and hilarious. I have one now on beta but I speced way too offensively early and kinda just stopped around level 43(act II cruel) but I was also DW and now dagger + shield and wanted to mess around with it. Think I should just leave it till later?

I lvled wih Lightning strike, its pretty risky to use flicker without decent gear for this purpose. This is an endame build

That's what pretty much everything I've seen said - lightning strike just seems so lame to me >_<. Don't know why I just don't like it lol

How do you sustain flicker strike with that dps o.O
If I take off abyssus I lose too much dps to flicker. Though right now with 169/86 (and unoptimized gear/ leveled gems) I can farm 73 maps solo.

20/20 gems + weapon, many dps nodes+ neck provide me that dps in town , jsut in lab i got 21k under blood rage - it gives me almost 5 k dps , with frenzy charges 33k , when i face boss 1x1 i get also 3 power charges dps becomes 43k

I guess the main difference is the low life Shav xD
