PoE 3.15 - Flicker Strike Raider Showcase [A9] - (PoB, Gearing, Info in DESCRIPTION)

PoB: https://pastebin.com/UiVEaGFU Build Summary: It's flicker strike, not much more to say :P. It's squishy and has absurd damage but also requires heavy investment to get started properly. Clear is great as is single target, and the only caveats are that you want a very strict loot filter and to play on lockstep.

Gearing: Weapon Main Hand: Paradoxica w/ ele pen + AS & quality - this is the BiS for our build in terms of raw damage. I picked up for about 30ex.

Shield: +1 frenzy shield - try to get a rare shield with some res and life as well as room for aspect of the cat (if you can't fit on gloves) - base was 55ex, craft was 5ex in essences.

Helmet: Replica Forbidden Shako w/ lvl35 Ice Bite + flicker strike dmg/frenzy enchant - This is a huge damage boost and allows us to run flicker strike on a 4-link; don't sleep on the ice bite levels - snatched for 130ex

Body Armour: Farrul's Fur (5L) - this unique allows us to cycle frenzy charges and sustain perma flicker strike via cat's stealth+agility - 3-5ex

Gloves: Rare Spiked Gloves w/ +1 frenzy and Strike 2 additional enemies - gives you far better clear and damage - crafted for about 15ex incl multimod

Boots: Darkray Vectors w/ele pen enchant - This enchant is a big damage boost, and the boots themselves are a necessity in this build - 1ex w/enchant

Amulet: Rare w/ global crit multi, life, overall flexible - you can get dmg/frenzy, cold/ele pen, and defensives on this. I could add another 6-7% damage with a min-max amulet, but that's going above 100ex - mine cost 4ex w/catalysts

Rings: 2x +1 frenzy charge rings - ideally you can get godly precursor w/ a rare ring with +1 frenzy, but that will cost 2 mirrors by themselves, so any ring with +1 frenzy can do - mine cost 50ex / 3ex

Belt: Stygian vise w/defensives + ele damage or headhunter - if you wanna be an HH gamer, go for it, flicker feels pretty nice with it, but otherwise this gear slot gives us a lot of defensives if you opt for a stygian (go for dmg+life on abyss) - mine was around 10ex

Flasks: Panicked Life flask / diamond flask / Bottled faith / atziri's promise / vessel of vinktar or wise oak - you want increased effect if you are bossing, but it is all preference for enchants. Vessel of vinktar is great for dps but wise oak can help with survivability if you have balanced resists - bottled faith is pretty pricy atm (15-17ex)

Unique Jewels: Watcher's eye w/ hatred crit chance + precision crit multi - you can get better, but it'll cost an arm and a leg - mine was abt 40-50ex? / Intuitive leap for some efficient notables

Cluster Jewels: This is variable, as you can opt for 3 large clusters, but I went with 2 so I could have more life. Check the PoB for specifics, but the cost can range from 5ex-40ex

Jewels: Any form of crit multi + life (you can fill attributes here or in clusters too) - this is also variable; you can splurge hard here for perfect jewels - Mine were prob about 10-20ex total

Playstyle: Setup/Bossing - Vaal ancestral warchief+ancestral protector for dps boost, vortex on boss, blood rage, and flick away. It should be noted that sometimes you will just flick into a boss ability like shaper balls/beam or ground effects. Deal with it.

Clear - let jesus take the wheel

Always open to questions! Might make a scuffed explosive concoction build, but idk i'm not feeling all that masochistic.
