#Flicker strike build poe upgrade

At later game stages, including end-game, Poacher's Mark becomes far less useful.My issue with this is similar to the Red Trail, only that it requires that I invest in %chance to Poison nodes/mods.This also includes taking on not as 'useful' Slayer ascendancy nodes. My issue is that it requires either running a Malevolence + Watcher's Eye Bleed Immune mod, or speccing into the Slayer ascendancy to keep up its 100% uptime.Here are some methods that I've known work for a long time but I don't personally like, for various reasons: If you wanna do glass cannon and that's your thing, then tweak it as you want - that's the fun of the game.Been trying to theorycraft a flicker strike build for the upcoming Metamorph league, but I've been running short on ideas to sustain Frenzy Charges for Flicker Strike. I feel it has a good mix of survivability and dps so I just kinda keep it where it's at because I don't like glass cannon.

There's A LOT more DPS that you could squeeze out of the build if you trim down the survivability but honestly, I can 2 second conquerors and nearly insta-phase Sirus and do it deathless while tanking a die-beam if I get careless. (And it memes on map bosses, you just push them towards the walls and they can't do anything - added bonus for working in Maven trials.) You can tweak that too if you feel you don't need, but the clusters for that are relatively cheap and they work great. I tweaked the clusters to knock back and for more defenses, and the knock back with all the minions really creates a nice barrier between you and everything else and just creates more survivability. That's how I got the inspiration for the Glorious Vanity, and it works pretty well and wish I could remember that video but I can't. I took some things from another build I saw on here and tuned it to how I wanted and what I was comfortable with. The gloves are super pricey if you buy them with my stats/mods but I made them. I made pretty much everything else by spamming some chaos or dropping a few harvests. It's pricey and honestly the most pricey part of the build. The wand is great for automating everything, I suggest it. Skeletons benefit a lot from awakened gems. Awakened Brutality for the overwhelm phys reduction is great as well for mowing down bosses.

The upgrade to Awakened Melee Phys for the intimidate is pretty worth and I suggest doing that ASAP. For bosses, swap out Awakened Melee Splash/Melee Splash for Awakened Melee Phys/Melee Phys depending on your budget. My AG isn't running the super min-maxed Mask of the Stitched Demon because he has 160k hp and he stands in every single AOE and Sirus beam and meteor and he doesn't care so I didn't see the point in dropping that much $$ on him. You can ditch the Diabloist if you feel you're tanky enough, I felt I didn't need the Vulnerability curse from AG gloves/Merveil's Retainer but you can do that if you want. I run 4 spectres as I have a lvl 28 gem - one Arena Champion, 1 Diabloist for spamming enfeeble on everyone, and 1 Carnage and 1 Host Chieftan. The chest helps with survivability and I suggest getting phys taken as any element as it really helps with survivability and the reduced mana cost is great as well so you can reserve all that mana to run a Vitality. You can trim those down to two point if you want, I didn't think it was too imperative. Surging Vitality and Enduring Composure make everything smooth, with the regen from Life from Death cluster and Vitality aura and other sources of regen, you're always acting like you have a life flask going so the life flask is just to remove bleed/save yourself if you derp out.

Just copy-pasting from my reply to someone else asking for it:
