Hello ! if you ask me briefly for a gem compilation you would describe to me what is the best damaging and defensive assembly in your flicker strike build because I looked at your characters and didn’t align on it in advance thank you!

Hello everyone,

have a small question about my frenzy charges. I usually have no trouble with any content whatsoever but every now and then this happens (made a small clip):https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyr7cZFfnfo

as you can see (at around 30% boss hp) I totally run out of frenzy charges (Switched to blood stance because boss, have 100% hit, 4 max frenzy charges).

How can I prevent on getting sucked down so "fast" every now and then? What am I lacking? Or is this a "usual" experience for flicker strike players?

PS:
I usually switch to Ryslatha's Coil when doing bosses, and still encounter these issues.

I do not think im lacking mana or anything, if anyone is interested, check my character: ELP_SEIZURE_INTENSIFIES

first of all thanks for the tipps and the answer, I already had the paradoxica and the +1 in the tree was a bit squishy and changed to endurance charges instead, could sell my foil and retry it withy a paradoxica (did not have the impale on it the last time). Thought my foil would outperform the paradoxica (520 pdps) and the guide creator had a foil in the min-max section so I thought it would be fine.

now to your points:

1. like I said, thought my 520dps foil would outperform a paradoxica
2. will buy it now
3. thought the 4 points to get the +1 strike would not be great since the maplcear with melee splash is more than enough, also +1 strike is not relevant for bossing or am I completely wrong here?
4. currently rolling a pair of these in garden, have a magic imprint with +2melee strike range and +1 max frenze charge which I am hoping to come out good.

Am I correct on my 3. take? Never played flicker before so in my conclusion +1 strike is not THAT relevant for keeping up frenzy charges in boss fights, it only benefits from clearing which is insane enough with out it. Please correct me if I am wrong, I am always open for critique and as soon I have flipped my foil I will try out paradoxica again!

Hello all.Really interesting and fun build. But as i am making my way to the end game gear (slowly :P) i can't get to fit all these reservations. Is it even possible in 3.14? If not what do you suggest as a setup?Hese is my gear.

Furthermore, the min-max pob posted is already outdated as it is based on pre flesh and stone nerf, you can't do flicker with that little available mana pool. It also use some unrealistic configurations like how mobs or boss is "intimated", so you expect a 10% intimidation chance from melee physical support to happen 100% of the time? We don't use melee physical support now either. And so on....

I too thought a foil would do damage until another poster reminded me to take a look at how "double damage" work.
https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Double_damage

With how double damage work, only the highest possible pdps (700~) foil could out damage a paradoxica and that also only if your pre-doubled damage is low. If you could afford at least 100ex on foil, then you likely able to min-max your jewels and enchantments to boost your damage.

Furthermore, the min-max pob posted is already outdated as it is based on pre flesh and stone nerf, you can't do flicker with that little available mana pool. It also use some unrealistic configurations like how mobs or boss is "intimated", so you expect a 10% intimidation chance from melee physical support to happen 100% of the time?

Anyway, there are two candidates for paradoxica.
Cheap

Expensive

The obvious difference is critical vs speed. On pob, you will see the latter do more effective dps but having lesser average damage which means more rng damage.

I saw that you have 7 points left, if I am looking at the correct character. The +1 strike tree does have melee damage boost.

On the contradictory, +1 strike is great additional to map clear. The "splash" only occur at that "one" target you hit. The +1 strike allow you to create additional splash point.

PS: You could create a shop thread to list your foil while still keep using it to play.
