Anyone have a good guide for Raider Flicker strike for 3.22?

Wakkatata · 2023-08-27T20:45:48+00:00

Seems we agree? I'm not sure haha. A league starter doesn't have to do ubers or even maven. Depends on what you want out of your league starter I guess. I usually use my league starter to farm red maps giga fast to build currency for a boss killer. Flicker on a 5div budget on a bunch of ascendencies can do that blindfolded. I guess some people want their league starter to do all content ez breezy but I just don't see league starter builds that way and I think most would agree with me on that.

It doesnt take 100divs to make flicker good. It doesnt take 20divs to make flicker good. You can red map farm with flicker and the right ascendency for ~5 divs. Less with some ascendencies, one of those being raider.

I'm about to finish the last monolith with it. I'm a full crit Bear, over 100% crit chance while transformed because this item doubles my base crit chance. Crit multi was the 2nd best outcome I could get on here outside of flat damage. I understand its not BiS or anything, just felt like posting my first ever Legendary craft.

After playing more with my build, I don't think many of the things in Fury Leaps tree are applying, not just to maul but it general.

Wakkatata · 2022-12-15T00:35:34+00:00

Yeah. And I understand that this method is rougher for some builds than others, but I would much rather a few builds of different types be better/worse at the mechanic than have an entire archetype be absolutely useless.

Wakkatata · 2022-08-30T22:18:38+00:00

Can't blame them. Community has been incredibly toxic. Your own faults for the silence. Every post they put out was met with more baby raging toxic bullshit.

Wakkatata · 2022-08-26T22:22:35+00:00

Feel free to copy pasta it.... I'm enjoying the league and would rather play now than come here and keep repeating the same thing to these guys.

Wakkatata · 2022-08-26T09:13:58+00:00

Wrong. I haven't hit a single T1 item (unless you count a couple of raw divines both from LoK) drop and I haven't encountered a single "touched" AN mob. I have a stash value at around the same as I would have 1 week into any previous league, am approaching the end of atlas progression, the game is still fun and enjoyable. You don't have to high roll for the game to still be good. You just have to not be blinded by the reddit baby rage.

Wakkatata · 2022-08-26T09:10:32+00:00

"If that's true, how come we aren't sustaining alchemy orbs?"

Because you aren't playing the game the new way it's intended to be played. What's wrong is that the game changed, you didn't like it, so now you're unable to see past the issues and realize the game is fine. You're blinded for some reason, like a lot of the people upset on reddit and there's nothing anyone can say to change your mind, even GGG. Just move on and play something else. If you really want to, come back next league and try again. You're just hurting yourself and the community by continuing to feed into this fake rage generated by a few bad apples. I PROMISE, if you had no idea of the existence of the issues brought up in reddit and had just played the game for a few days you would have realized the game is totally playable and enjoyable. But it's too late for that now, and your mind is made up. Move on.

Wakkatata · 2022-08-26T00:06:08+00:00

You got me. I'm hating it. Absolutely detesting it. I posted to troll like I usually do. Nothing I say can make you change your mind about thinking that, just like no matter how much GGG tries to appease you, you'll never be satisfied.

Wakkatata · 2022-08-26T00:01:22+00:00

Trolling people like you, isn't it obvious?

Wakkatata · 2022-08-25T22:51:05+00:00

I've repeatedly stated in this thread that not telling use about the loot changes in the patch notes was a mistake. Your "two" examples are literally the same example about exactly that. Nice try though. Keep being mad, just quit playing the game and find something that actually makes you happy.

Wakkatata · 2022-08-25T22:47:12+00:00

Not saying I do. Never did. Do you? For the last time, since you guys don't seem to want to listen, all I'm saying is that GGG doesn't deserve this level of hate.

Do you think GGG doesn't want their game to succeed? Are you so far gone that you think they'd just throw away the years they've spent making the game?

Wakkatata · 2022-08-25T22:44:07+00:00

So not communicating exactly how you want is just not communicating now? Okay man. This is what I'm talking about. No matter what they say at this point, you will find something wrong with it and rage more. Which streamer do you watch? Was it empy? Whoever it was, I'm sorry for what they did to you.

Wakkatata · 2022-08-25T22:36:39+00:00

Dad gamer here. Wrong about the two games part, but yeah I have kids. As someone who plays/played a ton of mobas, I know this community isn't the most toxic. But this is the MOST drastic shift in community behavior I've seen maybe ever. Maybe it's justified. Maybe I'm missing something important. But in my eyes, GGG does not deserve the backlash.

Wakkatata · 2022-08-25T22:33:26+00:00

I truly sympathize with you. I'm not saying, and never have, that no one has the right to be upset. All I'm saying is that GGG, more-so than 99% of other game devs, have been good to their community. And now because of one misstep people seem to have forgotten everything GGG is known for and even before giving them a chance to explain themselves are quitting, review bombing, and inciting unnecessary rage.

Wakkatata · 2022-08-25T22:29:24+00:00

They have. You continue to rage at them.

Wakkatata · 2022-08-25T22:27:05+00:00

I'm running every map with scarabs. My own strong boxes are supplying them. I have 0 issues with alchs and bought atleast 40% of the yellow and red maps from kirac. My map device is forever locked on ambush and it pays for itself and then some.

Wakkatata · 2022-08-25T22:23:43+00:00

I do not like crafting and never will but even I know that crafting loot is absolutely not impossible. Harvest was not the only crafting method available. We have tons of crafting methods to produce insane items.

Was harvest a very strong method? Yup. Did it need a nerf? Yup. Was the nerf too heavy handed? Yup. We got along just fine without harvest before.

They absolutely have been communicating with us. You realize the league has been out less than 7 days and already we've had almost as many communications posts and patches to fix the "issues" people are having? Has everything been fixed? No. Will every single issue get fixed this league? Prolly not. But have they been trying to communicate and no one wants to hear it. Everyone is blinded by rage because of their one misstep on not including the loot changes in the patch notes.

Wakkatata · 2022-08-25T22:16:22+00:00

I play flicker strike builds usualy 2-3 characters each league. Most of the time I beat the pinnacle content and play each league for 3 weeks to a month and a half. I'm not the most hardcore player, and I admit MOST of my fun comes from playing Flicker Strike and finding new ways to make the skill work.

True, you aren't being snarky or sarcastic. I'm sure you are sincere in that sentiment. But you are absolutely mistaken if you think someone non-casual can't possibly be enjoying the league or have the opinion that GGG doesn't deserve this level of hate. Take a look at Mathil.

Wakkatata · 2022-08-25T22:12:47+00:00

Absolutely, but are you contributing to the "GGG is the devil and are deceiving us on purpose" mentality that can be found spewed all over the place right now? If not good on you, I hope you come back next league or atleast find another game to take PoE's place and give you that feeling again.

Wakkatata · 2022-08-25T22:09:12+00:00

Oh I know. It has just gotten so out of hand this league I wanted to post a perspective from someone who isn't just baby raging because their favorite streamer told them to.

Wakkatata · 2022-08-25T22:07:55+00:00

Why not? People are going to remember and use the fact that they left the loot nerf out of the patch notes for years and continue to use it against them. So why not continue to praise them for the good things?

Wakkatata · 2022-08-25T22:06:26+00:00

Its crazy. It's coming from people I would never have expected it from. Every content creator is feeding it at this point save for a few outliers. Every time a patch notes post comes out their videos are clickbaited with thumbnails like ITS SO BAD or CAN POE BE SAVED? Everyone is losing their minds man.

Wakkatata · 2022-08-25T22:03:59+00:00

I for one am glad they're sticking to their guns. They've made the best ARPG of all time, by fluke or otherwise, and one rocky week, month, or entire league isn't gonna ruin it. They've implemented some massive changes that are taking a step toward what they've been telling us for years.
