I've read the guild through and here come some questions:

1. Would you like to give a general comment on the contrast between Bane of Legends and Brutal Fervour in 3.9 (Overwhelm is my must-have)? I'm curious about their performance, especially from DPS aspect.

From your update for 3.9 the setup of (Golden rule jewel + Red trail boots + Endless hunger + Brutal Fervour) makes self-bleed perma-flicker a much easier build, but if Bane of Legends has more DPS, I'll choose it without hesitation since the Flicker Strike is quite smoothly cast in your 3.7 videos and it seems the Frenzy charges won't be a big problem, I guess? Furthermore, I don't have to have all these staff bound. In other word, can I just use your 3.7 build in Metamorph league?

2. How about the bandits? kill them all or help Alira

that's all. Thanks for sharing the brilliant build.

bane is a lot of dps and speed. brutal is defense. theyre completely different. It's not worth taking endless hunger unless you are taking brutal.

overwhelm is a must if you want to make a crit build with a low-crit weapon. In all other cases, its a must that you DONT take it.

You dont absolutely need the red trail set up but you'll need a lot of dps so you kill before running out of frenzies, use frenzy skill gem, and awakened multistrike helps a lot. You can also use farruls fur. Getting enough dps is harder in metamorph than ever, since boss hp is so high. I think you can get away with it, but you're not gonna be able to kill drox and sirus smoothly.

Oh, and you can get a frenzy on hit chest too. that helps a lot.

Thanks for your detailed explanation. I'll give it a shot, the paths of exiles are never easy. What does "frenzy on hit chest" mean, btw?

I love flicker and I would like to play it next league as league starter. Is the self-bleeding slayer setup the best one at the beginning of the league when you don't have a lot of currency? Or do you recommend a different league starter target?

Another source of bleed chance is the 2 bleed nodes right next to the bottom frenzy charge in the tree (20% chance to bleed). The issue is that this node also gives you poison chance, and golden rule will poison you if you poison enemies.

I am not a flicker strike player and also a more or less poe beginner but interested in flicker strike builds for the upcoming league. are the new notables bringing some good changes ?

for example the unaffected by poison jewel...

Antivenom
+17% to Chaos Resistance
Unaffected by Poison

does this change a lot ? does it make self bleeding flickerstrike easier to get started or is it any big game changer at all?

Isn't Insatiable Killer very good for the build?

nope. frenzy on kill is a common mod u can get in many places. just use blood rage.
