[3.23] Tarekis' Facetank Flicker Trickster - CI Aegis Block - Video Build Guide [3.24 ready]

This is for my CI Flicker Trickster Build you can find here: www.pathofexile.com/forum/vie...
I'm no content creator, steamer, etc, so no production value, and pretty much all over the place and quite long.
I got into the details of the build, so if you want to understand some aspects specifically, or just at all, this should help.

Hi man , I was the one who bought jewelry with you the day before yesterday , and then you asked me I was playing Flicker Strike? Now I know how to build it, thank you so much !!

[@Tarekis-fi7bu]

You're welcome, have fun! :)

[@taa347]

Really appreciate you making a video on it. I know you've said you're not a content creator so we shouldn't expect super in-depth stuff, but this is more than enough. Thanks for your hard work I think I'll probably use melee splash just to make mapping a bit quicker, but other than that I'm surprised it works so well without something like Terminus. Great stuff

[@Tarekis-fi7bu]

Thanks! You really shouldn't need melee slpash. Tribal Fury (the amulet anoint) fixes splash damage, it's a strict downgrade if you slot melee splash over anything else.

[@taa347]

Sorry I'm not well versed on a lot of the various mechanics. I didn't know anointing was even a thing but yeah that looks to be a lot better than melee splash

[@Asahirro]

Hello champ, I've bought one of your old items you used on this flicker. Nice to meet creator and thanks for such nice fun build :) Cheers!

[@Tarekis-fi7bu]

Glad you enjoy it that much, gl hf flickering! :D

[@thomasbui8391]

Ty so much man, its will be my next build

[@Tarekis-fi7bu]

You're welcome, hope you have fun! :)

@@Tarekis-fi7bu you think 100div + mb can get this build work? I already have HH and MB, i think i will sold my HH to run this build

[@Tarekis-fi7bu]

@@thomasbui8391 It seems I kind of created a mini-meta and prices for the items in this build skyrocketed combined with inflation. 100d might be enough yeah, but MB specifically has some higher cost investments. Can't garuantee really, but I'm fairly sure it's a yes

[@thomasbui8391]

@@Tarekis-fi7bu yup thank you very much, i think i will skip the awakened multistrike and update it last

[@thomasbui8391]

Can i contact with u any chance? My defence are so good right now but i worry about the damage and energy shield. Ty alot mate

[@SoulReaper66623]

flicker is my first and only love

[@luckynt75]

Im going to league start this(PlayStation), i always league start flicker strike but its always a raider or slayer and im usually doing my searing and eater void stones day 2( dont usually have alotta time to play but i took vacation just for this league start since i skipped last league) even tho flicker isnt the best build to leauge start just because im so comfortable with it. However i don't really have any idea how to start up on a shadow, any tips?. Sorry if u have notes on leveling somewhere and i just didnt see it. Long live flicker strike

[@Yamadummy]

Hello o/ i may have just missed it in the vid but is there pantheons u recommend, it hasnt mattered much for me yet since im only just starting mapping in the character. ^also the build works amazingly as a league start but I used frost blades as main skill^

[@Tarekis-fi7bu]

Brine King for Stun Immunity (Lunaris if you get it elsewhere), Abberath for burning ground immunity (very flexible, choose something else if you want)

[@nickthenub3830]

Hey bro sick build btw, but how do you feel this build plays against the t17s in this league?

[@Tarekis-fi7bu]

I only ran three T17s, and it's lackluster. You're fine until you're not and you're crit oneshot. You probably want to run something with range where you can actually move away from mobs and their attacks. This is melee after all, as melee as it can get, you constantly stand in the face of enemies. And as you can imagine this is absolutely rippy with the insane mods T17s can have. No wonder divs are 100c since people sometimes spend 200c rolling them to be less rippy... Here's a guy doing it anyway: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p323g3SmpZ6ZhrM As you can see, you're fine until you get oneshot out of nowhere. Welp.

[@nickthenub3830]

@@Tarekis-fi7bu Yeah I've always played melee builds so trust me I understand that struggle lmao, looking forward to trying out the build and hopefully not suffering the melee curse too much

[@sparkz6381]

You said its terrible for ubers. Is it possible to kill them all at least once without using all portals? If so, what is the minimum dps/ehp breakpoint?

[@Tarekis-fi7bu]

Shaper is really really annoying, if it‘s not maven-witnessed some midtier version should be able to kill them somehow if you‘re a bit careful, something like 15m/8k ES, did maven-wintessed uber uber elder, absolute horror to do, you need at least instant leech for it, which is a good idea for any ubers actually.

[@tanatos9959]

im strugling with dmg out put, i got EB, Aegis. 2.5 k evasion and 500 ES body armour, tree its almost identical and i still dont know where im screwing out, any pointers? thanks, gl

[@Tarekis-fi7bu]

Without a PoB there's nothing I can help you with, that's too little info, sorry.

[@user-xs1wn5ic4e]

Hey, what about to take the one step ahead with forbidden flash/flame?

[@Tarekis-fi7bu]

The only FF combo that is good is Opportunistic, since it's boosts bossing performance, but One Steap Ahead is just a better Boot Implicit, 8% action speed, vs 6% if you elevate, so not worth it.

[@user-xs1wn5ic4e]

@@Tarekis-fi7bu OSA is also provide fully imun to stun, freez and chill

[@thecheecko]

Can this be doable with slayer? Already have a flicker strike going. Lol kinda don't want to remake if I don't have to

[@Tarekis-fi7bu]

No, it needs trickster

[@glennlopezgeronimo1469]

can i ask what the minimum budget for it is? i currently have 60+ divs and ive been wanting to play flicker strike and this version caught my eye

[@Tarekis-fi7bu]

60d is no problem, you won't be min-maxing anything, but midgame gear is totally in that budget

[@glennlopezgeronimo1469]

@@Tarekis-fi7bu can i farm t16maps with that budget though? as of now i dont really wanna transition into another build if it cant farm t16 maps comfortably, sorry for the questions this is my first league i actually made a build work

[@Tarekis-fi7bu]

@@glennlopezgeronimo1469 Yeah you can, maybe not the rippiest 8mods, but very easy juiced up T16s, check my profile for the guardian rotas, those are pretty insane maps, and I have way more expensive gear, but if you don‘t roll the rippiest mods you can do it all deathless

[@glennlopezgeronimo1469]

@@Tarekis-fi7bu hey so i just finished leveling my shadow and im level 76 i have everything in slot, gems,gear. How do you have 100 unreserved mana while i have 40 unreserved mana? I have discipline, grace, and wrath aura active

[@Tarekis-fi7bu]

@@glennlopezgeronimo1469 I'd need a PoB to be sure, but at 76 you don't have the entire tree, about 20 points missing, 95 is the default build. At 76 you have like 15 mana or so less than at 95, but that's too little, I suppose you have the mana node near IR + reservervation skilled? Also, less intelligence means less mana, but an entire 60 seems a bit off

[@zacharylanguell8496]

What order do you take the ascendency nodes?

[@Tarekis-fi7bu]

Polymath, Swift Killer, Escape Artis, Soul Drinker

[@frostbyte951]

Hey man can i bother you to make a shopping list for buying things ?

[@Tarekis-fi7bu]

You cannot. Check the PoB, check the notes, literally everything is explained. Or watch the video, it‘s all right there already, put in the effort to understand what you do at least a bit

[@metal_bath_bomb]

Was gonna try build this on steam still I saw sword alone with res tech was 110 div minimum

[@Tarekis-fi7bu]

What are you on about? Double corrupted/enchanted is about that price Regular RT EE is 4d right now buddy… www.pathofexile.com/trade/search/Necropolis/VLlpkaSp

[@metal_bath_bomb]

@@Tarekis-fi7bu typed std but auto corrected to steam

[@Tarekis-fi7bu]

@@metal_bath_bomb Alright, fair. Solution: buy EE and use vaal orbs, ca. 33 corruptions on average

[@gisinalol]

What about HH? - it's cheap AF in that league

[@Tarekis-fi7bu]

You'll have trouble, fitting bleeding and shock immunity as you need to do this without those two sockets, but it's gonna work somehow.

[@kratosmode]

hey can it be played on raider in 3.24 league? I've seen a guy with such build build on poe.ninja but not sure how good is it

[@Tarekis-fi7bu]

Hey, please check the link in the video description, it's updated for 3.24, and mostly the same. Just a few differences, so this video is still a solid reference for 95% of the build.

[@rasenguns-7314]

Bro, i really can't understand why i done over 150 corruptions on this fuckin blade, and still didn't get the resolute technique, although this implicit has the same weight as the area or fortify ones. P.S. already get this, clearly on my try number 200. Stupid shit. 18 divines ty.

[@Tarekis-fi7bu]

Oof, 200 is very unlucky :( Should be about 40 on average (?), neverlucky
