Well, I have a dagger that would probably work for this build

And I also have the wondertraps, goldrim, stormsail. Would need the rest though. This build needs the most frenzy charges it can get, so that would mean the bandit frenzy, and just the one on the passive you have listed? Also, I could get a rush through piety merc as well for the passives.

Dagger is perfect. If you're rushed through Merc for the extra 5 skill points you can hop down and grab the frenzy charge near the ranger start.

Sorry for the double post, but that dagger is horrible, read the level requirement. :`(

Flicker will cause massive desync and will be hard to loot (since you will basically port through the entire ledge if you have good density and enough damage to chain your flickers)


Ice Nova has 0 gear requirements other than the Sceptre, so all of your gear can be your best rarity pieces, and you just run up, kill em dead, and it won't matter. Discipline + basically any 300 or so ES chest will give you enough life.

All builds will be boring in the long run :) These are all 1 button kill everything builds, but honestly, if you get the Ice Nova micro transaction it may be more enjoyable.

Ice Nova will most likely have more issues with Kuduku than Flicker would, due to not having the best single-target, but that is fixable with a supplementary skill.

Flicker scales exponentially with the better gear you have, yet that means you have to invest more in the character. Ice Nova has a huge power spike with the +3 gems sceptre, but past that, no other gear is required, so you can run any pieces you choose.

Your resists and life pool most likely will not matter with either build, as long as you avoid projectiles and melee attacks (fairly easy on ledge).

Overall, it will be much more difficult as a melee character than as a ranged character, which cause me personally to lean towards Ice Nova. Also, the fact that as Flicker you may have to run back across the entire map to go get your loot, or that you may just desync, think you are flickering, and be standing there, or worse, dead, makes me shy away from the build. Having played Flicker-Multi into the high 80s once upon a time (beginning of release), I know the build is prone to lag/desync/fps spikes and sometimes just dies off. I play templar in every race because of how much I love Ice Nova, and its AoE damage potential.

EDIT:
Quick search to show how many +3 Cold Gems Sceptres there are in Ambush for sale, and their prices.

Many for around 5-10 chaos, or less.

A -good- dagger will cost around 1-2exalt, or more.

So why Ledge and not Felshrine, Felshrine at least has the chance for a Soul-Taker. I would consider Felshrine even a bit better, starting at the crossroads entry you can run clockwise back to that entrance and reset.

Items like Mjölnir, Saffels or Soul-Taker can drop in Felshrine but not in Ledge.

That is an excellent point! Guys!!! Redo builds for Fellshrine level! Also, do you have a confirmation link for this information?
