[3.0] How to Flicker. Two Handed Weapon Edition!

i've already explained that but here we go again ^^

Now let's start with the dual wielding ... dual wielding makes little sense becase flicker strike is a single hand attack. That means that with each attack yo will alternate weapons and aside from the base dual wield damage and attack speed boost yo don't get much. Furthermore 1h weapons have less damage bt more attack speed ... that leads to many fast attacks for less damage per hit which s a bad thing for flicker strike where you want big hits capable of one-shotting ( becase you don't want to loose too much/any frenzy chargs hile yo are flickering )

1h+shield ... is ok hen it comes to defense bt deals A LOT less damage.. as simple as that.


Note that this is for non-crit flicker builds!
When it comes to a flicker build i'd say that a CI build with dagger + shield build is the way to go.

would be helpfull if u actually READ the guide......
there is an entire "Acive skills"

Because flicker strike has cooldown, to bypass that cooldown you need to have frenzy charges, to have frenzy charges you need to use blood rage.
Again this is all explained in the guide.

Why the mana reservation nodes up there.
Actually if you look at it it's not THAT far away, after all the "close" to the duelist mana reservation mode is actually 5 skill points away. Also i go there for the life + chaos res cluster, the chaos res is a nice thing to have when you run blood rage all the time. You also grab life nodes along the way so in my opinion it's worth it to take that rood instead of spending 5 skill points for 4% mana reservation + 6% increased aura effect.

Well as you can see the skill tree reaches the starting physical damage point of the marauder ( the axe version ) so at certain point it just doesn't matter if you've picked duelist or marauder. So yea, marauder is fine.

Exactly you need to use blood magic support gem for your flicker strike aswell. That way you just don't need mana at all and you can reserve all of it. once you get 4% reduced mana reservation from the skill tree(as shown in all my proposed high level skill trees) and once you link you auras to level 19+ reduced mana support gem you'll be ablevto run 2x60%auras (i.e. hatred+grace) ane also herald of ash on top of that.
