3 Things That Made My Flicker Strike Way Better
Just wanted to discuss 3 things (Or 2.5) that make flicker strike feel way way smoother,
First of all, I am using a weapon swap setup with skeletons and profane ritual to get charges without having to interact with enemies.
The first change I made was to the passive tree. With the secondary tree I am grabbing all the reduce duration nodes there is.
The second change is to the supports of the ritual. First I was using just unleash, arcane tempo, and mobility, so that the use would be smoother.
I added fast forward and intense agony now and dropped the mobility. Might drop arcane tempo instead. Both have its pros and cons.
These 2 changes take getting charges from the ritual down from 2 seconds to 0.37 seconds. Loosing charges in a breach? 1 seconds later back to flickering. If that even.
The other change was puting in the ambush support. Due to flicker strike snapshotting for all subsequent hits, we can use this gem to double our crit chance in most any situation.
Another interaction that comes in handy here is using frozen locus. When droping off a boss due to charges or another reason, using frozen locus backwards and then going back to flickering, makes the first hit target the crystal, which will be considered full life.
For those, that prefer a visualisation I made a short update video on the stuff I just talked about.
Any questions or further recommendations? Let me know.
