PoE Flicker Strike, League Starter, Melee builds

So after a bit of messing around, I might have come up with a phys Flicker Strike Slayer that looks like it's SSF viable for a league start. Parameters: 900k+ boss DPS assuming maximum Rage, Pride effect and totems, but no Berserk or Vaal Haste (goes up to 1.5m burst DPS if so). Not that you'd be doing pinnacles on this, but it's a good indication of single target potential. Clear DPS drops to 533k without totems, Vaal Haste, Berserk, or Intimidate, and setting Pride to minimum effect, but is helped along by Tribal Fury's new mel

This guide is about getting started with Flicker Strike and Vaal Flicker Strike from as low as LV28 with the cheapest, easiest, and smoothest possible build. I tried to make it beginner friendly. Flicker isnt the best league starter, but I tried to make this build the best flicker league starter Thanks for checking it out Leveling: (updated 12/7/2022) Endgame example with oro's sacrifice: BTW, my LV28 tree has 232% increased damage!

I tried raider, but impale is phys, so that didn't make much sense. I tried Champion, but "The Impaler" caps at 5 impales, so getting sources of +impale didn't make much sense to me either. Slayer makes a lot more sense, especially with its base crit and the buff to Kitava's Feast (which has doodoo base crit, if I'm not mistaken) I chose berserker because it has a lot of easy damage up front. This POB has theoretically 2.5M DPS, but I think it'll probably average much less than that. I'm relying on Impaler to help my clear (does

Focus - (potentially Phase Run if the trigger immediately removes it) - Vaal Flicker Strike Make sure you're low enough on chaos res that forbidden rite deals 51% of life damage.

Made myself a build I'll be leaguestarting so I wanted to share it with you guys. It's a strength and accuracy stacking berserker with blunderbore and gull to make mapping smooth and second sight from timeless jewel to get enough crit to play blitz comfortably. Any feedback is welcome!

1m full dps with replica abyssus or 800k with fractal thoughts Lethal pride is going to be got probably in yellow maps has chance to intimidate on herbalism, annoint is probably going to change to tribal fury however I tested in std and it feels ok in yellow maps without it. Chest upgrade would definitely be +1 curse chest 6l either cospri or rare hunter chest. Build will have issues bossing, but will feel good in low tier/mid tier maps Nightmare jewel is normally cheap for power charge generation. If I can't pu

PoB: So the idea is to go Trickster to make flicker free, and then to go MoM to take advantage of that defensively. I am doing this rather than Terminus Est Crit Flicker because I'm a hipster I guess? I've started every league since Breach with Oro's flicker, and I know it is quite solid for everything up to and including yellow maps, which is all I really need for a league starter anyway. Any suggestions for improving the build? Don't pay too much attention to the gear, I was mostly just playing around with the new "sort by dps"
