[3.25] Holy Flicker Strike Necro [League start > All content] All content is done. PoB updated
" Good thing you posted your guide in this forum then I suppose - so far from what I´ve witnessed a new build has to outperform existing ones to be considered by a lot of players so honestly I expect most summoners to go for skele mages, absolution, golems and AW again, again ignoring this build because they simply missed the better source for information. So the initial possibility of prices to spike in regards to build-specific items should be under control. I decided now and will run this again. | |
" I can see frenzy charges messing up APS for cyclone, and other skills, but since static strike is about the beams, and the beam frequency comes from gem levels (and quality if Phantasmal alt quality), wouldn't it be safe to use Carnage Chieftains specters (aka frenzy apes)? | |
" For my version of the build - absolutely. You still gonna need 2 Power charge specters (or else your relics won't even crit) for charge generation to not feel slow, but for your third specter - you might include frenzy. It will smooth your own frenzy generation for Flicker Strike too. But there are stronger stand alone specters out there. You can check the list on the gem section of main post.

I really really like the concept of this build, and I'm tempted to try it as a league starter - but we are really missing an early game POB to get an idea, except if one has been posted and I missed it? Something like a fresh out of A10 into maps POB.

" For what? Just follow the tree and use logic. - As long as you don´t have cluster jewels, u cannot invest points into it. - As long as you don´t have legion jewels, u cannot take changed keystones. - As long as you don´t have jewels, u don´t necessarily need to take jewel-sockets - As long as you dont have anvil/aegis aurora, we might need additional block. Summoner might be more complicated when it comes to items, scaling and all that, HR especially in terms of server-tics vs. AS, but the tree from all summoners looks 95% the same. | |
" The one in the PoB_section has multiple passive skill trees in it. You can swap them in PoB to see the progress. But if you are more interested in itemisation, the Leveling section has several snapshots of my character PoBs as I level. Items, trees, skill gems. And even a video of day 1 mapping. And of course, I will be posting some of my progress here as I go, as well as update leveling snapshots and "Current gear" section. You can also spy on my character using my user name. Its open for looks. Last edited by Fire_Archer on May 10, 2022, 7:06:10 AM

Before we start the league I wanted to throw in a bit more info into the Gear section.
Flasks are not talked about in the guide so here we go Flasks Slot 1. Flasks to restore your HP.
Spoiler
At the league start - any life flask will do. Look for a Seething flask or the Bubbling for instant healing Later on you can grab It will heal you twice and helps dealing with early DoT damage you might encounter. As you max out your Chaos resist you might wanna grab Instantly heals you to full HP. Be careful with things that reduce your chaos resist (for example altars) as you will take massive damage from this flask if your are not Chaos res capped. Slot 2. Defence utility flask.
Spoiler
Extra armor helps a lot during early game, and you can look for bleed removal too, as you need a way to deal with Corrupted Blood before you get immunity to it. Gain charges when you are hit is also a good way to make sure flask is always ready to be used. Slot 3. Flexible slot. More defence and utility.
Spoiler
Early league you can grab Basalt flask as one of your quest rewards. You can use that for a bit of extra armour till you replace it. This one is a great addition to the protections as it will help dealing with Physical and cold damage. Great for big hits against bosses, good synergy with Elemental Aegis (if you ever grab one) This one will provide you with effect similar to permanent Guard Skill. Massively reduced damage during mapping. Not that great against bosses. The price of it may vary. Last 2 leagues I had it for 10 c. Now its worth exalts. If its cheap - grab it. Slot 4. Attack speed flask for smooth Flickering.
Spoiler
A recent addition to the build Grab one of those as your quest reward, try looking for attack speed mods. It will make you zoom zoom faster, miss your static strike less, and even deal with slow attack speed weapons if you have to grab one due to the lack of what you want on the market. Slot 5. Speed flask. For zoomies.
Spoiler
Nothing special. Just a peed flask. You might wanna look for reduced effect of curses mod (helps a bunch with tempo chains, ele weakness, vuln). Its nice to have. But you might also fill it up with w/e you feel like. Maybe remove ignite? Or poison bother you? Maybe you want more moove speed? Last edited by Fire_Archer on May 11, 2022, 3:17:25 AM
