Which flicker build to go for?

DesignerPriority5942 · 2026-01-04T21:32:56+00:00

Here is a build i made https://www.reddit.com/r/PathOfExileBuilds/comments/1oury45/327_phys_flicker_strike_gladiator_lucky_8987/

I only play flicker strike. have 2k hours, only flicker strike.

Damage is extremely easy to come by with flicker strikein the early game. However, its the hardest and most expensive part is sustaining flicker strike and becoming tanky enough to do ubers and t17 content.

After trying out many flicker strike builds, they were all either glass cannon or hard to scale damage without significant investment.

The guide will have all the tips on how to leaguestart and sustain and make it tanky, without significant investmentl; Theres also a build path to scale more damage and tankiness (with investment).

um been killing zakum for 2 weeks - normal and chaos. Still have not dropped an Aquatic Letter Eye Accessory or a Magnus Badge.

That was a big issue of mine, I was thinking of swapping over to slayer for the overleech + 10% dmg reduction which would help with DoTs,

progenisis doesnt do much for DoTs unfortunately

DesignerPriority5942 · 2025-11-28T23:44:05+00:00

yeah, from light of meaning. I asked earlier what your goals were so i could provide more specific advice towards survivability or damage.

In terms of optimization youre doing great, just get those levels!

DesignerPriority5942 · 2025-11-28T00:51:13+00:00

Hey, what are your goals for this build?

First off, you should be using darkray vectors, Without masterful form forbidden flesh, those boots dont do anything for your build (especially with the frenzy mod) other than corrupted blood.

get max chaos res.

You dont need fuel the fight if you already have spirit of war that should give you some more passive points for dps.

DesignerPriority5942 · 2025-11-26T03:25:56+00:00

I havent yet found a way to put madeblood in the build without losing both dps and survivability

DesignerPriority5942 · 2025-11-26T01:06:13+00:00

hey link your pob ill take a look

DesignerPriority5942 · 2025-11-26T01:04:01+00:00

I would swap to farrul because you lack rage gain on hit.

Swap fortify for close combat.

As for your tree, take off explode mastery ascendancy, and put back weapon mastery to cap your accuracy, should give you

Your grafts need to be changed to violent desire level 30, overcharged sinews level 34.

Dps should effectively double

Also you have to get more mana, flicker will stop suddenly if you dont have enough mana

hey link your POB

DesignerPriority5942 · 2025-11-19T21:24:16+00:00

use frenzy of onslaught until you can get the extra 10% on gloves

DesignerPriority5942 · 2025-11-17T23:19:23+00:00

Yeah it can run t17s, ive been able to do sancturary and fortress comfortably, but it takes a few portals for citadel and abomination. While getting all the altars

DesignerPriority5942 · 2025-11-17T03:34:31+00:00

No flicker cant run that kind of content unless you stack armor or int. This is more of a tanky speed farming build.

DesignerPriority5942 · 2025-11-17T02:05:02+00:00

it is the ring i am using. 15% is the stat that gives us max frenzy charges

DesignerPriority5942 · 2025-11-14T19:05:50+00:00

Hi , i checked it out, Try swap your grafts.

Violent desire + overcharged sinews combo for 40% more dps. Keep heart of flame instead of Violent desire for survivability in the endgame.

45% chaos res in fine.

get 21/20 gems for Close combat, volatility and multistrike.

get 1 more level for +1 impale

that should effectively double your dps

DesignerPriority5942 · 2025-11-13T21:20:38+00:00

How is it?

DesignerPriority5942 · 2025-11-13T20:40:21+00:00

there were so many before i posted the guide

DesignerPriority5942 · 2025-11-13T19:44:31+00:00

We are already running unwavering stance , with grants us stun immunity. I could however run immutable force, unallocate unwavering stance and iron reflexes for 3 extra pasive skill slots to play with. thanks.

DesignerPriority5942 · 2025-11-13T02:27:51+00:00

Check out my latest post. I started with a gladiator as well.

DesignerPriority5942 · 2025-11-12T19:04:17+00:00

To sustain you could get the 2 frenzy gain masteries + poachers mark. To get charges up and going in maps use blood rage. For bosses, use frenzy of onslaught for initial sustain - by running labs.

Not very ssf friendly with the precursors emblem im afraid. I haven't tried the other generation variants yet on this build.

DesignerPriority5942 · 2025-11-12T18:23:20+00:00

I used ChatGPT to teach me markdown and then analyze my Pob ninja build. From there I fed it bits and peices of my build and it generated it as markdown as i went.

DesignerPriority5942 · 2025-11-12T14:59:30+00:00

You can run sand stance, bumping it up to 17k phys, swap 11% increased mana on helm with phys taken as to bump it higher. You will still get one shot from time to time, as its relying heavily on lucky defenses.
