I like to play some flavour of Flicker Strike every league, this time I decided to repurpose my PBod Elementalist, thought I might as well post a small showcase for fellow weird flicker enjoyers.

It’s a fairly basic Ice Bite Shako Flicker build slapped on top of a Herald + Golem Elementalist. Still plenty of room for upgrades, but I’m all out of cash and don’t really feel like farming much more, so it is what it is: https://pobb.in/bVePcPn5Y3Ev

Pros:

• Ice Golem, Foulborn Darkray Vectors and Precision solve accuracy with no extra investment

• Chaos Golem + Lost Unity gets you to 40+ chaos res

• Herald of Ice + Thunder provide about an extra 50% flat damage on top of 35 Ice Bite

• Herald of Hive almost doubles the dps with 5.05 Herald Effect (27 tattoos)

• Could use Precision Sublime Vision to cap crit, but broke :(

• Flicker Strike

• Explosions

Cons:

• Completely glass cannon except for Svalinn, but that makes it comfy enough for mapping

• Herald tattoos are expensive AF

• Could probably slap the same gear on Slayer or Berserker and double or triple my dps

• Not a great bosser

 

Is it worth it?

Eeeeeeh…

Flicker is always fun, explosions are neat, can do reasonably mid content. Probably better to invest the 200d of tattoos into a Slayer/Berserker.
