[3.12] Double Strike / Flicker Assassin ~ League starter and ender! U-Elder and U-Atziri deathless!

Hey Guys,

instead of placing a nice attack speed und multi jewel, I placed a Thread of Hope with a large ring in the bottom jewel socket in the duelist area. You can allocate Swift Skewering and Bladedancer for 11% attack speed, some Physical reduction overwhelm and more sweet impale and sword stuff. I also allocated Panopticon for 50% increased Totem Buff effect: I dont know if i am right, we have 2 totems but only get the 32% more dmg once, with panopticon we should get 48%, thats crazy.
I am only lvl 92 so i dropped the points to strong arm, it feels pretty insane and my POB shows a higher number :D, except for my allResi xD

another option for a thread of hope was on the right jewel socket, there you can allocate revenge of the hunted and heart of oak for 16% life and just a bit dmg and evasion, and you can allocate brutal blade, if you switched it for the fortify cluster in the bottom left. But this option looked a bit lame.

check it out

Checking out the bottom option right now. It's almost worth it, but you lose the life %. Panopticon is arguable, but totems die fast, so while the node is great for boss burst, I never recommend putting points into them. It's definitely a viable option though, that node itself is a huge boost, and swift skewering is also great. Losing the life % sucks though. Good find though, I will check it out more when I have time.

what can I said , what a build! loving it so far!

as a flicker strike lover, I've played many version of fs b4.

but with 6-link flickers it always feel clunky while fighting bosses, even with Farrul's Fur build.

this might be the best solution... using DS for bossing instead.

it cleared almost as fast as 6L flicker build , while having way better bossing for endgame like uber elder or sirus.

and as assassin, you're more tanky than you think, much more survbility than raider or berserker thanks to elusive.

the only time I feel squishy is when I'm not hitting a mob so I don't have elusive, therefor might get one-shot by some big dmg. (I tried to put withering step into the build but its kinda hard.)

heres my gear to date , had a lot of fun w this build ty so much op!



still have room to upgrade but I don't think its necessary.

already melting almost everything.

theres one question tho

will the T1 flat phys on the gloves (8-10) better than 37%-43% incrs dmg while leeching(craft)?

40% increase sound a lot more than flat and I think we're always leeching(mana)?

Guys! Can u show me your lvling gear as a STARTING char? I am lvling for two days already and struggles a lot. No dmg no survivability I would say. I even remembered old days when I played KB wander. Skill becomes viable after 60+ with mininmum 5link setup and it is also have shitty single target DPS. So how do u guys flicking and dealing with act bosses?
my gear atm

I know rings are crap but I don't have any currency to upgrade it. I think my swords keeps me w/o loot

By 50ish, you can get a couple of nice rare foils that will significantly increase your damage. There's Innsbury Edge that you can get at 47 as well for cheap. First thing you should do at this point is to get a couple of Ichimonjis and a Starkonja. You can get a 5 link chest also with decent resists. I don't level with flicker or double strike, I like Frost Blades to level with until 60.

Glad you're enjoying the build! You summed it up well, we have great clear speed and great single target with this set up. Your gear is pretty stellar though, nice job fitting in Mark of the Elder for that sweet extra damage. The only thing I would recommend is changing your movement speed on your boots to be movement speed and onslaught on kill. Makes clearing even faster.

As far as the increased damage while leeching craft, I am not totally sure. I think the craft is more geared towards Slayers since they continue leeching when they are full. With us, the increased damage will turn off very quickly, and since we use Multistrike, 2 out of 3 attacks do not cost mana, because they are the free repeats. 40% is a lot of damage though, so even if it's not up all the time, it could still be worth it. And if you're face tanking something or if you just get hit hard and lose a big chunk of life, then between leeching both life and mana, it should have decent up time.

Hi,

Is it possible to fit Bottled Faith in this build? Is it worth?

Why is the option to intimidate marked on pob? How is this accomplished with this build?

First off, really been enjoying this build. You have only added to my Poe addiction and I'm not complaining. :)

Right now, I'm having a little trouble trying to optimize my build. This is my first end-game build and I'm very new to crafting (which I want to get into soon).

My current build is here: https://pastebin.com/HzHy6HLc

I feel like I have a budget version of your build right now lol. I've spent around 2-3 exalts and have 400 chaos orbs sitting in my stash right now. Next steps?

Yes, lots of people much more rich than me use it. If you try it in PoB, I think it is a few % higher than Taste of Hate or Promise.

Awakened Melee Physical Damage has 10% chance to intimidate, so it is a nice damage boost for anything you have more than 1 second of dps time on, such as bosses.

I'm getting the error 302 when I try your PoB, are you using the old version? If you haven't yet, get the community fork from LocalIdentity's github, couple links here:

Otherwise, you will need to set your profile to public so I can check out your character that way.
