best ways to get/sustain power charges

my flicker toon just uses the 20/20 pcoc gem combined with 95% critchance. works fine.

there is no better way to do this with flicker.

Having a dagger with a higher base crit would help a lot. Generally speaking, for crit builds base crit >>> base damage.

Personally, i'd say screw PCoC for the moment and come back to it once you have a ~14/20 PCoC and at least a 8% base crit dagger. You'll waste a lot of time building/sustaining PCs, and i'd assume that your effort using PCs will overall lower your DPS.

PCs are mostly to squeeze the most out of a very powerful build that couldn't be boosted in other ways anymore. You're not at that point with your gear yet.

4 powercharges increase my dps by 25%, so if i find a decent way to stack then it will definately be worth it.. unfortunately i wont be able to afford a better dagger, because it will cost me 4-10 ex to upgrade, and that upgrade would only be minor, upgrading other parts of my gear/skillgems would be way more effective, so getting a better dagger is not an option.

and flicker stricking just doesnt seem viable atm.. at 20% to gain a power charge i have to flicker 20 times, by that time i could have spectral throwed all the mobs down :P
thanks for the advice, ill put the power charges on hold for now

dont underestimate base crit chance. its very likly that this dagger is on paar with yours in terms of your dps. (well not on paar cause "only" 24% crit but should be close)

i had a x-230 physical wand, no critchance.

but this did more dps. and the "killing flow/feeling" was a lot better.

well considering i run wrath+anger AS is more important than crit.. i wish my dagger was 2 aps, but i only had 1,5ex, so i couldnt be picky:P

crit > AS imo. crit multi outweights the AS factor, no?

if you run flicker but are depended on shock stats, well this cant be fun.

well it depends. more AS-> more attacks-> more crits, aswell as more wrath and anger procs
on the other hand More crit -> more crit and less mana/sec..

but since i have no options i dont even bother doing the maths:P

In a few weeks, you can get . Better for Spectral Throw, but it's a viable option.

i doubt its gonna be better than this ^^ i need to invest into a 6L chest:P i would use a volls protector but then i cant sustain 2 auras + i lose a ton of ES/EV.. i wish there was a blood rage for power charges:p
