How it Plays

So idea is simple - start with Killing Palm and whenever you kill anyone with it and Thrill of the Kill support, you get dmg on top TO MAKE IT WORK - ENEMY NEED TO BE SHOCKED - SO YOU NEED Lightning damage mods on QUARTERSTAFF , From this point with good Quarterstaff you one shot most of mini mobs, and this with new mechanic jumps to next target, so it starts to flicker from clearfell to T15 maps :)

Extra damage on top will be in form of other buffs like Staggering Palm and Charged Staff . And some support gems like Innervate .
You will get alot of charges while clearing mobs, so we can Falling Thunder to melt screens if needed, or bosses, since Martial Artist will provide us with bells that is Cullable inside boss arenas, and thats strat.

As more basic clear, i added Ice Strike and also combined with Tempest Bell it's our basic 2 button boss combo... However! Tempest Bell is also buffed in 0.5, so it will not only be better, but will probably one shot bosses on martial artist..

If you want to run this Killing Palm aka lvl1 Flicker Strike leveling, make sure to upgrade weapon constantly, and keep buffs on, otherwise it may feel weak ...but thats the point of build to give you tools to maximize damage.

In endgame we start using Flicker Strike but its important to get critical damage first, or it wont deal alot of dmg.

HAVE FUN!
