Build Overview

Pretty basic setup for Flicker Strike on Warden within 1 Div Budget

About build:

  • Flicker Strike is one of fastest and craziest looking skills, which has its obvious downside of lack of character control
  • This setup made entirely out of uniques, while you can use Rare Jewellery as long as it has no Life modifiers to get ~1000 Life from Utula's Hunger
  • Utula's Hunger fits nicely because uniques already have no Life mods anyway
  • The Taming and Yoke of Suffering is nice combo for any Elemental Build that can apply multiple Ailments
  • Pretty basic defenses, ~4.5k Life, some Evasion and Suppress, Leech.
  • Mother's Teachings from Ascendancy can be changed for The Unseen Hand by choosing "Can't use Utility Flasks", which is very popular option this league because of Screams of the Desiccated
  • This set of Uniques is enough to do normal Bosses, not deathless.

Upgrades:

  • Terminus Est is very good for Warden because she's reaching 100% Crit fairly easy with Tincture, so every single hit will generate Frenzy Charge which fully solve Frenzy Charge generation
  • At higher budget you will have to replace Terminus Est because while it has Frenzy Charge generation, it's damage is pretty low, on similar level of mid Rare One-Handed Weapon.
  • There's many options at higher budget: Paradoxica, Rakiata's Dance, Two-Handed Axe/Sword or One-Handed Sword + The Squire.
  • In order to solve Frenzy Charge Generation without Terminus Est, best option is Farrul's Fur and Aspect of the Cat crafted on any Rare Gear.
  • Ofcourse like nearly every build you can make use of Screams of the Desiccated, especially on Warden that already use 2 Tinctures without space for Utility Flasks.
  • And check poe.ninja to see what people do on Flicker Strike Warden, there's only 40 characters, but enough variety.

Strengths and Weaknesses

  • Very fast mapper
  • Flicker Strike
  • Fairly good DPS
  • Cheap to start
  • Hard to control character
  • Might make you dizzy
  • Defense is kinda low on this budget
  • Warden is second least popular ascendancy, due to Tinctures requiring you to pay attention and press 2 more buttons, which people don't like

Gear is self explanatory, Terminus Est is great budget weapon for Flicker Strike, everything else to get damage.

Make sure you have no mods with "Life" Tag anywhere if you want to use Utula's Hunger, including Implicits.
