Reave vs Flicker Strike for faster clear speed?
|
As the title says, Reave or Flicker Strike for faster clear speed? Will be running crit dagger w/ Abyssus.

It's pretty close I think but I think reave would win on a gorge run in the current patch. Flicker faded to obscurity sometime ago.

ya it did, especially life based flicker strike. So I decided on Bino's + Soul Taker so probably sticking with reave would be better since I would only use the dagger for attacking versus flicker where I would be alternating.

" Soul taker is outdated in the current meta and basically only provides you the ability to run an additional 25% aura at the cost of of a shield which can provide a lot of stats. You really might as well use death's hand for pcharge and unholy. dagger + shield + coil is solid if you intend to push far past level 92 or so.

I have a unique reason for using soul taker don't worry :).

Flicker requires a lot of on hit damage and would be faster when played correctly.

ok so sticking with reave then as it is won't use the soul taker and screw up my damage.

Flicker is way faster. You also don't have to worry about keeping up stacks. Just don't hold down the left click and never let go. That will get you killed.
I don't know why flicker would have faded into obscurity. It just isn't used as much because people don't know that its better than reave, or it gives them headaches. Maintaining charges is easy with only blood rage(i do it all the time). Flicker never really got nerfed, it just lost a bit of popularity. The only place where reave is strictly better is the alluring abyss(uber atziri) or malachai. For try, for see, and for know.

" For the current patch I can not find any timed gorge runs for flicker strike. Are you speaking from personal experience? IGN: Arlianth

Gorge runs aren't really a good indicator of overall clear speed. For example, reave is crap in indoor maps. However, still, im pretty sure ive seen a 2.1 vid of a flicker gorge clear under 2 min, whereas the fastest reave clear ive ever seen was still over 2 minutes.
And yes, i am also speaking from personal experience. For try, for see, and for know.
