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

"

Hey man!
A crit dagger build will always have more potential, in general crit builds have much more potential compared to non-crit builds ( with the exception of facebreakers ). Of course you need a lot more currency to reach the level of a non-crit build and even more to exceed it, but with enough exalts a crit build will eventually do better ( you know .. mirrored dagger, acuity etc. ).

Now about how end-game vible is .. that depends on what you consider to be the "end-game". Is it Atziri and Uber Atziri? Is it level 82 maps? Because yes you could do the highest level maps but no when it comes to atziri ... it's extremely difficult to do Atziri with a flicker build ( doesn't matter which one ) because it is hard to get frenzy charges and you can't use multistrike because of the mirror-holding atziri clone in the split phase.

Thanks for the response. Pretty much the answer I was expecting, but just wanted to be sure. Now here's a followup.. It's the beginning of the league, so an early character I make needs to be capable of farming quickly and efficiently on a relatively cheap budget. It seems like this is a pretty inexpensive (and super fun) build to run. Would you recommend it for a first character in the new league? Or is it better as a second after I have some disposable income? Thanks again!

My quest for versatility may lead me to betray the ideals of Flicker-only builds lol

Hey, would you happen to know if it would work to run CWDT + Immortal call with the Daresso's chest piece? and if so, would it be a good option?

Hey, I was just wondering which weapon you think is the best. You have a tree for basically all of the 2-Handers, but which one do you think is the best? I would assume Axe, because they have the higher damage, right?

Also, how do you think a crit build would be for this? I see you guys have talked about Crit Dagger Flicker here and there, but I mean crit 2-Hander. Idk which weapon would be best because the new Karaketh weapons change a lot for 2-Hand crit builds, but just how do you think that would you with what you assume would be the best one to use.

Finally what are your thought on BM? It got some pretty big life nodes behind it now and I see people are starting to pick it up more. Do you think it's worth it or is it just a waste of a few points because you can handle the mana. Also, how is the mana management on bosses? One of the big changes to leech was to make it worse for single target and better for AoE so how does that affect this?

Oh, I almost forgot, are you planning on adding a item section to the guide? I know Blood Dance boots are a necessity now, but I also saw you talking about Daresso's Defiance? Just are there any uniques you think are really good (Besides Blood Dance :P).

Thanks for the awesome guide, I used it a long time ago and I'm back for more advice :P

Hey man!
Well there is a gear section ... just... scroll down a bit :D
Now 2h crit build ... i haven't really discussed it here because it requires an entirely different approach - different gear, different support gems, different passive skill tree ... and that essentially makes it a different build that deserves a different thread and a different guide. When it comes to crit builds you need a high base crit of your weapon and even wit the new weapon types the base crit chance still is a bit low for my taste. The only exception are the staves of course. You could make a cool staff crit 2h flicker build.
About the blood magic passive ... sure you get some nice life nodes behind it but you loose all of your auras which in my case are around 30% of my total damage and that's a pretty big deal, besides using mana is working just fine, no problems with bosses or with anything for that matter.

Omg, I'm sorry, I totally missed the other post with a lot more info... Didn't think the first half took up that much space, I guess lol.

You really don't think you can get a good amount of crit with the Dagger-Axe? I know it'd be a whole different build, but I've been thinking about doing it, so looking for some opinions on it.

I see your point with BM, I mean you get less Aura reserve cost and a lot of health, but if you have no mana problems, I guess it's pretty pointless.

Thanks for the quick response!
