Terminus Est & "Frenzy charge on Critical Strike"
Weapon
Spoiler
Reasons for post:
Spoiler
I was happy to see GGG improving old uniques in this patch, improving the old ones and making them more... unique. Terminus Est was a sword I always wanted to use but it required to much investing into crit (due to its low base) to make a viable build with it. This changed in the recent patch and i thus build around the weapon.
The Question: Why does Terminus Est only give one frenzy charge on crit when used with Multistrike? Oro's sacrifice can give multiple charges on attack when using Multistrike. My understanding of the mechanics issue:
Spoiler
Since it is a critical strike GGG coded made it so that you can only gain one charge on crit. This rule also applies to Power changes (I believe). The reason Oro's can gain more than one is since it is tied to the ignite effect, not crit. However, without a charge per crit, it is impossible to continuously use flicker strike even with 95% crit. It therefore forces you to either use blood rage or some other form of generation. (Blood rage is hard to use since most builds will need Vaal Pact to deal with reflect)
Suggestion/shameless beg: Let this sword gain more than one frenzy charge per critical strike on attack. This will prevent spell abuse (not that a spell caster would touch this) and allow for a sustained flicker strike build. Id be happy to hear other ideas on how to fix this issue. TYGLHF So many build ideas... no time.... Dernier bump le 5 mars 2017 à 07:55:21

Beside your wiki question just how is it you cant make it work? I strugled with that sword for years and it whas dicent. Until assassin ascendency and chaos damage nodes it whas never realy that good but now its realy open to more builds and classes.
On crit effects usualy worck that way, ther whas some changes to charges or something not long ago in pach notes mentioning Terminus Est if i remember but not sure what whas it, you can look it up and for the rest wiki got you cowered. Path of Exile 2.4.0: Atlas of Worlds Patch Notes -Fixed a bug where you could only have one Frenzy Charge generated from Terminus Est at a time. Cant remember whats changed, it may be just some bug floting around when they made some changes to charges in general and it may just hapen sword whas broken in some way. ------- But agen on crit effects worck like this for aeges unles specificly noted. Multistrike Support-Skill functions and interactions: Critical strike hits are rolled once for all three strikes. Effects that trigger on an outgoing melee critical strike will only trigger once per activation of the attack, even though all three strikes will crit. ------- Even more Frenzy on crit is a global mod so that is a huge help. My assassin never lost charges with 95% crit even tho BV help building them up and generaly make it wery relayable to use that way. Im so hapy for this sword geting some atention finaly and i dont see reson it will not be good inaf as it is. Dernière édition par nEVER_BoRN#3512, le 5 mars 2017 à 03:36:53

" Exactly. It has worked like this, and it should in most cases, but it limits the utility of the sword since it cannot sustain flicker strike unless it uses another form of generation in addition to flicker strike (ie blade vortex, orb of storms, blood rage) What I'm saying is that the generation of frenzy charges using this sword, at least for melee, should have an exemption to this rule. So many build ideas... no time....

For straith up game this sword is in realy good spot atm. Having strong utility come with huge cost, you rather have that insted of this?
For my expiriance playing with assassin even before this change i got no problems with flicker strike. I invested and got benefits. Combining this with BV and leep slam and you more then good regarding charges. I got more problems refreshing power charges then lusing frenzy charges becouse of nature of ascendency and one effecting other so BV whas mast for me. No Blood Rage, just a sword and caped crit, it whas perfectly fine even with snakebite gloves. Unles you whana play some diamond flask sort of build, if you dont invest it sure gona punish you. Agen, i played Flicker strike with this sword whole Perandus league and all you need is to cap your critical and you be more then fine especialy now when its more acesable for all to use. Having to cast BV or use leep slap to start up flicker is realy not that hard. Dernière édition par nEVER_BoRN#3512, le 5 mars 2017 à 08:11:31
