PoE builds similar to Flicker Strike with How Many Links? | Squire Flicker Strike Slayer | Path of Exile 3.21

I'm currently running a Vaal Flicker Strike character (PoB here, \~6M DPS with no flasks, Berserk/Vaal totem unchecked), and I had an epiphany... Since Vaal Flicker Strike doesn't do damage until all 25 strikes have completed (and the damage from all strikes hit at once), can this work around the 1 second cooldown for Hydrosphere given you're running Tribal Fury melee splash?

I often see Oro's Sacrifice Flicker as being just a very budget and crappy version of Flicker Strike, so I wanted to see how far you can take it with moderate investment. What I find particularly unique about Oro's Sacrifice is how well it fits with Slayer and Kaom's Heart, so we're going to focus on scaling Health, Crit and max life leech. We're not aiming for maximum DPS, rather, we'll try to fix common weaknesses of Flicker by leveraging the double dipping of

Gear -Basically all resists have to come from ring and belt slots. -Rings could be better; Circle of Guilt and/or +1 frenzy rings are a huge boost if you can manage resists. -You can run an Uul-Netol's Vow with Close Combat and push more DPS. -Requires tree adjustments. -Losing the skill quality from Ashes of the Stars makes the build feel worse to play Tree/Skills -You can drop a couple of points and pick up Call to Arms if the cast time on Enduring Cry annoys you. -More mana than needed from the tree / medium cluster for aura cost reduction. -You can run a medium cluster to pickup Petri
