[3.0] How to Flicker. Terminus Est Edition!

Well that's the thing about ancestral call it helps with something that a terminus flicker build is already good at and don't need further improvements while also does the exactly opposite thing for what the build actually struggles with (high end boss fights.) and that's without even counting the fact that you'll need to lose even more damage by removing a damage related support gem (most likely damage on full life, fortify is also an option but your survivability will suffer greatly). So honestly i'm not sure how good in practice ancestral call will be with this build. Swapping it out in boss fights is of course always an option if you are into that kind of thing.

About Vaal Pact - yes i've been thinking about it though my only concern is that the lack of regen makes blood rage a huge pain in the ass when your overleeching effect expires. But it could very well be an excellent option for the build, that remains to be tested and determined though.
"I'm going to show you pain you never knew existed, you're going to see a whole new spectrum of pain!!!!! Like a RAINBOW!"


Thing is that I tried the assassin and trickster versions and they really needed instant life to live.

Assassin version was okay due to his ability to generate his own power charges which allowed him to crit for ever on even a single target generating more frenzy charges, you'll need to invest in a bit of mana leech gear or jewels.

Trickster version was good as well for map clearing, but couldn't sustain frenzy charges at all on boss fights. This version also died more often if he didn't have enough power charges to reliably crit.

I am guessing slayer will have same issues to sustain power and frenzy charges on boss fights, but like the other flicker strike builds will have good map clearing abilities.

What's your opinion on a Physical Doryani's Invitation in belt slot?
when finish your 3.1 version flicker strike guide ? i'm waiting your guide :p

and how do you think about ancestral call?
Is it worth running Bronn's Lithe on this build? I cant see it mentioned anywhere and I wondered why? And are there any Elder/Shaper affixes that you think are particularly good with the Terminus?
I tried out some ancestral call and, while it really cleans up faster, the single target DPS went downhill...

I hope you can find a way to fully utilize the new skills/items in this league to make this build even more fun to play with :D
Is this still good build after acuity nerf?
so does the new vaal pact hurt this build or not really?
dude, you made my favorite ever build guide for facebreakers, and now I see you made another for the build I want to try this league. 10/10 work man
what do you think of the new ancestral call support for flicker?

edit: i saw your earlier response, ignore this
