If anyone is interested I rather haphazardly put together some POB setups for end game flicker strike with self bleed that I will be working towards as my league starter.

They are low on defenses but there is enough extra +life nodes nearby the paths that you can easily adjust. Only required items are really The Red Trail/The Golden Rule and Haemo gloves.

thanks but these are not so good... It works, but if would be better if you made these changes to the tree:

1. set your level to about 90. not 100
2. Disciple of slaughter (frenzy charge node) isnt worth it
3. you dont need all those bleed nodes. 25% chance from gloves is all u need. also, disfavor comes with bleed chance, so u dont even need gloves and u definitely dont need the bleed nodes
4. pathing through travel nodes is suboptimal
5. you can't flicker with 6% unreserved mana. you need like 25%
6. take all 2 point jewels. dont take 4-point jewels unless theres nothing else to take.

for axes, i suggest you travel left to marauder area instead of shadow for the axe and melee crit nodes.

you can use https://pathofexile.gamepedia.com/Soul_Taker if you are going for axes, it will solve mana problem

What should I do with Bandits?

Thanks for the feedback! I already made some modifications to drop that frenzy nodes, bleed nodes, and some leech dmg nodes in favor of focus on axes. Lower level and same dmg! What do you mean by travel nodes?

Thanks

nice. travel nodes are garbage nodes like 10 dex or increased frenzy charge duration. you want to take as few of those as possible. like on the right side, you should basically always travel through those 3 life nodes if youre going near that direction. sometimes, if youn count the nodes, "short" paths are not necessarily fewer nodes than long paths since the distance between nodes differ.

Is there an updated PoB link for leveling? There doesn't seem to be anything indicating how to actually build the tree in 3.9

not sure what ur asking. nothing has changed for 2 leagues now.

Any idea if the self bleed will be the new meta flicker build?

Is there any optimal tree available or the current one is still useful with this new build?

Should i still use rebuke?

I used your build on legion league, did great, thanks!

Edit: im thinking about the endgame.

you can use any weapon and rebuke works too. just dont use voidforge or convert 100% cuz you cant deal phys damage

The tree depends so much on your weapon, and im not sure what the optimal weapon is. therefore, i cant make the optimal tree lol.

But the options I find interesting are pure phys ones. either dual wield or two hand. Its cuz bleed-flicker used to need apeps-CI or malevolence watchers eye to be able to run a pure phys version. It was common to 99% convert the damage to cold.

With pure phys you can try to scale impale too. I know phys got nerfed this league a bit, but it might be just fine.

other ideas are tidebreaker and stack frenzy/endurance charges with masterful form, kitavas feast, or use foils and scale weapon range kind of like cyclone and use the new awakened ancestral call for clear speed. Also, check what new items are available too.

either way, one thing i know for sure is u should go crit for dps.
