I picked up a corrupted Paradoxica with the "Gain a Frenzy Charge after Spending a total of 200 Mana" mod and decided to build a flicker trickster around it.
- Ramp up mana cost with Indigon so each Flicker Strike pays for itself
- Scaling mana adds flat lightning damage through Arcane Cloak, doubled by Paradoxica
- Battlemage's Cry converts Indigon's spell damage bonus to attack damage
- Lots of warcry buff effect boosts the conversion
- Sustain mana with leech in single target fights; Polymath covers mana while mapping
- Throw on a Doryani's Prototype because fuck it.
​
DPS: I have no idea and I don't want to do the math. But trickster makes mapping a breeze, and the ramp is fast enough with Flicker's base cost to chunk bosses during damage windows.
Budget: Biggest item is the Paradoxica which I got for 7d. Every other item is 1-2d tops depending on how much mana/life/res you can squeeze onto it. The Impossible Escape (Call to Arms) and Sublime Vision (Grace) are very cheap off meta variants.
If I wanted to invest more into this I'd use it to pad out defenses, get a mana recovery rate Redeemer belt, maybe a GG triple mana megalomaniac.
