[3.29] Flicker Strike League Starter (Start From Level 38)

Flicker Strike Starter Build.

You can progress from level 1 to level 37 with regular slam build.

You'll use Ground Slam and Sunder.

And once you hit level 38, you can swap to Flicker Strike.

I'm not 100% confident, because I don't have a lot of experience with campaign / or cooking starter builds.

But when I was testing it, I felt like I created a monster. It's just SO GOOD.

Honestly I feel like it was the best starter build I've ever played, and probably one of the top starter build at the moment.

But again, I'm not 100% confident yet. Cuz I have less experience with acts. I might be wrong, maybe I'm just overhyped and overconfident.

So, if you decide to play this build, please leave a review on my youtube video.

Frenzy generation against bosses are not gonna be always perfect, but most of the time it's fine.

(Going to keep updating it, adding regex, and campaign filter)

(Going to Update Endgame guides ASAP too. I'll leave a link here when I make it.)

(More details in Youtube Video)

It's VERY easy to play.

use Leap Slam and Frostblink for movement.

try to always turn on Blood Rage.

And you just spam your main skill. That's it.

No complicated tricks, no pianos, just 1 button except travel skills and buff skills. Simple playstyle

[Small Tips]

1. You Need to get poacher's mark from act 3 Siossa, or act 6 Lilly Roth.

The build will still run without the mark, so personally I would just wait until act 6 rather than doing Siossa quest.

2. After swapping to Flicker Strike, you need to make sure blood rage is always turned on.

3. Upgrade your weapon if you're having DPS issue.

Check vendor recipe in my youtube video. (Magic+, higher rarity better) Rustic sash + Whetstone + any axe(whatever rarity, fine). it'll turn into a new weapon with a single phys damage modifier.

4. Armours are actually not that important, you can prioritize weapon.

Just checking gem sockets in armour might be also fine

5. Before Flicker Strike swap, make sure you prepare at least 1 [3 or 4 link with at least 1 green socket] armour.

Apparently they start to become more common from act 3, so I'm asuuming it's not gonna be hard to find one before you swap to Flicker Strike.

6. [Tribal Fury] Node is MANDATORY for Flicker Strike Swap. Also, You Better Get [Non-Vaal Strike Skills Target 1 Additional Nearby Enemy] Mastery.

7. Don't forget to loot items while early act, and vendor them to get currency.

you progress from level 1 to 37 just like regular slam builds

And once you hit level 38, you'll have Multistrike Support and be able to sustain frenzy charge in any situation.

it allows you to play Flicker Strike Very Early.

Flicker Strike requires Frenzy charge to bypass cooldown.

You need to generate more frenzy charge than you spend, to keep bypassing the cooldown and keep using Flicker Strike

And we got indirect buff this league.

With 10% quality bonus from green socket, you'll have base 20% chance to gain frenzy charge on hit.

(in upcoming league, all sockets are white by default now. But you start to see more coloured sockets apparently from act 3. And when you equip gems into matching coloured sockets, the gem gets 10% additional quality.)

With Multistrike Support, you hit 3 times. so it's 60% chance now.

And with Ancestral Fury, you hit 6 times now. it also generates frenzy charge.

So now you get 1.2 frenzy charge average per skill use.

This is how we sustain frenzy charge.

--

Also, Blood Rage gives you 25% chance to gain frenzy charge when you kill enemies.

So when you're dealing with monster packs, it's even easier to always sustain maximum frenzy charge.
