Path of Exile 3.20 Flicker Strike Build Guide, with Farming Strats!

========================================== Poisonious Concoction Farmer =============================================== Note for Poisonious Concoction: Make sure not to have a weapon equiped and have auto equip turned off once going to this skill. A weapon will render the skill useless so, it is a big no no. Survivability Cap Elemental Resistance > Life > Chaos Resistance > Defenses > Spell Supression for Armour. If you are struggling to stay alive, you can pick up Iron Reflexes, and run Determination and Grace (with the reduced mana Efficiency of Grace Evasion Mastery) as your only aura's. This characters gearing doesn't really matter as Heist isn't top tier difficulty. Just make sure you have capped res and you can get magic find gear if you want more loot in the better trading export. If you want more damage get a + 1 to chaos skill gems Shield. For Posionous Concation: Try to get evasion / evasion hybrid gear so you get the spell supression bonus.

At 62 before we hit 63 go to heist and buy all the contracts. Once you hit 63 we de-level using Book of Regression Reciepe (1 scroll of wisdom 1 scouring orb) Buy all contracts again, keep in mind Heist has a Reveal cap of 255, so if you drop blueprints while farming unveil them! When you have suffecient currency saved up, return to the acts and finish A10 want to hit level 70. Feel free to Farm Blood Auqaducts if not at 70 yet. Hopefully you stuck with Heist long enough to purchase at least the begining peices of gear for Flicker. This Requires a bunch of Respec points as when you transition you want to run Merciless Lab but not allocate the points > Kill Katava > run normal lab Respec to Raider from Pathfinder. =================================================== Flicker Transition =================================================== Forwarning about Flickerstrike Playstyle: The main source of survivability is leech, if you stop moving you can easily die or if you hover over ground effects. You will die it's part of the charm. For obvious reason's don't play this in Hardcore as it isn't viable. Prototype is around 5 to 8 Divine Orbs Aegis Aurora is around 5 Divine Orbs. Shaper's Touch are around 3-5 c Split Personality start around 9 c but vary in price. Thread of Hope starts around 20 c but vary in price. Stormrider Boots base comes from Ritual League. Hand of Wisdom and Action starts around 11 c. To get Fertile mind you can vaal base jewels or turn in the A Mother's Parting Gift Divination Card. Pricing won't be accurate as the system for unique jewels has changed. For the High end claw you want to purchase or farm a synthesised 1-6 Lightning Damage to attacks per Int Claw. From here you can delve craft to block mods or spam Deafening Essence of Zeal for (High Attack Speed), or spam Deafening Essence of Wrath for (High Flat Lightning), You don't need the exact rolls on the claw listed as rolls vary. The important ones are attack speed, pen and flat lightning damage.

FS: Int as each 10 points of int is essentially 6 damage, once you have either Hand of Wisdom and Action or the Implicit Claw. Followed by Flat Lightning Damage > Attack Speed > Elemental Penatration > Double Damage > Elemental Damage with Attacks Frequently Asked Questions: Q: Why is the damage low? A: This will be lower in PoB than what you are doing in game as no configurations are checked both sections make a large difference. Q: I am struggling with Attributes? A: Feel free to take 30 nodes you can spec out once you have better gear or look for gear with the stat you are missing likely it will be INT Early/STR late. Q: I feel squishy what can I do? A: Make sure your Resistances are capped! Check you Armour if Iron Reflexes or Evasion values while leveling try to be over 50%, You can also run grace (with Reservation reduction Evasion mastery) with Determination and get Iron Reflexes if you still feel squishy. Q: I am having a hard time killing bosses or clearing? A: Use Void Manipulation over Lesser Multiple Projectiles for Boss Damage or try using Seismic Trap over Wither. Q: I'm not getting Frenzy Charges A: Make sure you have Frenzy charge generation(Blood Rage lvl 1 in act 2 on Conc/Discple of the Slaughter on Flicker) this makes a huge difference. Q: Flickerstrike is stuttering/not always on. A: Make sure Icebite and Multistrike are in your link with Flickerstrike these are crucial to having sustained charges + Disciple of the Slaughter.
