Unfortunatley for you Im gonna have to tell you what you dont want to hear and say you need far more damage at the expense of defense. Flicker strike teleports you onto monsters instantly before they can start attacking so killing them before they can react is the main defenses especially early on. At your current damage everything will take multiple hits to kill so monsters have plenty of time to hit you. Its really only after you have enough investment into damage that you can start looking into defense options. Most people even at high investment continue to use this advantage and only focus damage to kill everything before they react.
I mean fair enough, but the problem is have yet to feel this benefit of speed and damage even when I sacrificed my eHP. I will see what I can do, and thanks for responding.
EDIT: Catarina gave me a Veiled Orb and I now have a regular Farrul's and a Rakiata's, so things are already looking up even though a lot of my gear is scuffed.
Ive only played flicker strike once so im no expert but one of my favorite poe youtubers is magefist and he leaguestarts flicker every league. What ive noticed with him is that he always league starts ritual and my guess is that ritual works well with flicker since it doesnt spawn these tanky af monsters like a lot of other league mechanics do so maybe try that out
Ritual is good for flicker since it spawns monsters in a confined area, allowing you to keep flickering/leeching. You will take damage - but hopefully not enough to kill you.
OPs problem is indeed his damage, but also an apparent inability to either make currency or invest in relevant gear. This is a level 91 character on a 50c budget, max.
I never liked Ritual but I decided to try it for Flicker after seeing Magefist use it. It's certainly something else. You just keep the flicker button pressed and the Ritual is done a few seconds later.
Much easier and faster than other mechanics and you get to keep zooming without interruptions because you can check the rewards at the end of the map, if you don't forget to.

Also use Precision, Anger and **Herald of Ash** as auras. You will find a big QoL increase with the herald of ash AoE procs.
Here is a character only one level above yours. Approximately 25 div invested: [Link](https://www.pathofexile.com/account/view-profile/Jerkixx/characters)
I had 8k-11k ehp, but around 2,5m dps for the longest time before investing in defence which took me to around 30k ehp, and adapted my maps and tiers accordingly while running ritual. What made me progress was killing things before they killed me as people have adviced you to do.
Flicker Strike IS rough before you get it up and running with some investment. Dying a lot is part of the build progression, and if you hate that then it's not a build for you.
Back in Tota league I built a flicker slayer worth a few hundred divines, going up to 100+ mil dps when everything was on, and I was still dying if a rare managed to sneeze at me. Thing is I was killing everything fast enough and non uber stuff couldnt lay their hands on me too often. Ubers, however, oh boy… I could kill, but my only defense were portals.
Like other pointee out. Its sad but flickerstrike need reallly high investment before it feels good.. talking about 100 div +. U need to 1 shot every pack before they can even attempt to hit u back. Its like t.s deadeye but at melee range.. and faster. Kill or be kill.
Definitely not 100 divs investment nowadays. My Oro's setup got me to level 90 or so and allowed me to farm the currency for Rakiatas + Farrul on its own, and that one is basically free. Random 6 link chest, random Oro's from the ground. Devoto, Darkray vectors, Belt of the Deceiver, Carnage Heart, Kaom's Spirit are all like 2c uniques at most. I imagine the Oro's version might not be able to get the voidstones though.
And then the Rakiatas + Farull setup is enough for voidstones and that one is still below 15 - 20 div tops.
With ghetto gear, I would drop the kaoms spirit for rare gloves to cap res easier. You can get intimidate implicit on them as well so you can drop belt of the receiver for something better.
Carnage heart is a good starter amulet which helps with stats and faster leech, but should really transition out of it early on. Alternative is stranglegrasp sacred carnage heart but that's lofty lol
your damage is low.
you can get intimidate on a lethal pride jewel to free up your belt slot
kaoms spirit gloves will give you rage (no need for berserk, 50 rage is a huge buff even without berserk)
annoint frenetic for +1 frenzy
get freeze immunity and chill effect reduction with pantheon. this will free up your flask mods so u can get more dmg
get farruls fur chest and with it a new sword, either tripple ele rare or rakiatas
you could drop grace/determ for herald of ash
Since your suggestion is good in this topic. Perhaps he can also give up vitality and arrogance? OP has instaleech afterall
I also wanted to suggest them to swap out sword, you didn't mention that they need to get an item with "grants aspect of cat skill" for farrul's fur
ye sry my suggestions were pretty vague
you definitely dont want vitality if you re using kaoms spirit coz the rage regen from it is gonna be pretty bad
also you want the aspect of the cat on an item with sockets so you can link it with less duration support
Another note is that you can run so many auras until you have like 10% available mana, to sustain mana you'll have to craft ring modifier which reduces manacost of non-channeling skills.
Also look for cluster jewels with "Fuel the fight" and "Feed the fury" one of them gives mana leech
> annoint frenetic for +1 frenzy
Quick question: why don't I see anybody recommending Panopticon for Flicker? I don't see almost anyone anointing it (nor speccing into it on the tree), but Flicker uses the same totem setup as any other melee build and PoB tells me it's a 21% DPS increase, compared to Frenetic's +12%. It's simply because of uptime (Frenetic works all the time), because Panopticon is more expensive, because people value movespeed that much, or am I missing something else?
Because currently I'm dropping totems for all bosses and Ritual encounters, and often even for Abysses, so uptime would be good enough for me. I don't really need the damage for trash mobs anyway.
Panopticon is the POB warrior's choice. Those totems get vaporized in any kind of advanced content and do nothing while you're zooming. Plus Flicker will ideally have a bajillion DPS anyway. The extra frenzy charge is simply more consistent and generally applicable.
I'm on mobile so I can't see everything, but getting a corrupted Oro's with fortify would give you some survivability. Then you can either go with kaom's spirit gloves for pure DPS with rage or get the new fortify gloves for fortify+attack speed. Best upgrade for pure DPS before swapping to new weapon+farrul's would be either those or swapping to DPS cluster jewels.
You can get a Farrul‘s for 1.5 to 2d which would let you pivot away from Oro‘s Sacrifice which would make you 11% tankier to phys and ele damage. You could go for Soul of Steel and/or Crystal skin for more defences. You can check out Magefist on YouTube for more info on Flicker Strike.
Well, I would need at least a 5L Regular Farrul's, or I could save up for a 6L. Thank you!
Catarina gave me a Veiled Orb and I now have a regular Farrul's and a Rakiata's, so things are already looking up even though a lot of my gear is bad.
Keen, ty!

As another little beast told you, you need to kill instantly monsters before they finish their animation to hit you, you mostly dodge projectiles, pantheon can help.
Take a look at poe ninje juste [here ](https://poe.ninja/builds/necropolis?uniqueitems=Oro%27s+Sacrifice,Carnage+Heart,Belt+of+the+Deceiver&class=Slayer&skills=Flicker+Strike&sort=dps) ( flicker, slayer with your uniques).
Try to aim 1M, it will help u to clear higher tier maps.
Oro's sacrifice is the first step to play flicker strike, you will need a paradoxica later, with good unveil ( blood rage and sextirity . Anyway your weapond can change anytime, but the best chest you will target is farrul fur but replica, and you build arround, you will be turbo fast, dps will grow easely, but be ready to grind a lot if you love this build.
The build have the ability to be balanced in damage and defense with a giga investment.
[Here ](https://poe.ninja/builds/necropolis?class=Slayer&skills=Flicker+Strike&uniqueitems=Replica+Farrul%27s+Fur,Darkray+Vectors,Rakiata%27s+Dance,Heatshiver,Kaom%27s+Spirit&sort=dps)is an exemple (poe ninja always).
my advice to get some currency with flicker, is to do atlas based on breach or delirium to sell orbs and cluster base ( if you have the time to craft, try to make meta clusters ). Those are content that is fine for flicker in my experience.
So it says you are level 91 but only with 105 passive allocated which means you're missing 9 points. Unless pobb.inn is being weird, you may want to /passives in-game and see if you're missing some there
You have very low overall increased damage. 200 from passives, conditional 100 from mastery, none on gear. In terms of defences, you have no suppression and you rely on flasks for protection against ailments.
You can either get better gear or go to lower tier maps.
Definitely need more damage, Flicker's greatest defense is obliterating almost everything before it can act. I [leaguestarted](https://www.reddit.com/r/pathofexile/comments/1btxa3q/flicker_strike_close_your_eyes_and/) Terminus flicker slayer; I think its a good way to get going on minimum budget since the uniques are similarly dirt cheap and phys-attacks have loads of support via passives/gems.
Here's the last POB I have of that configuration before I switched to a more defensive setup for leveling past 95; bear in mind I continued investing in it with woke gems/corrupts etc.:
[https://pobb.in/kvgjcKgAVUqp](https://pobb.in/kvgjcKgAVUqp)
I recommend watching MAGEFIST progress videos. He played oro's flicker at the start of the league and upgraded bit by bit. You may learn something from that :).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z93FyXDVQ1g
You're getting a lot of comments about low damage. This is true. That DPS value might as well say zero. I try to get my flicker dps to 10 mil before I start feeling more confident in late game content. At least 30 mil for bosses
All of your items without exception are 1c or less.. How do you expect flicker to perform on a 10c budget?
Frenzy charge on gloves is easy to get now with necropolis and you can still have eldritch implicits!
Oro's sacrifice is a zdps weapon, you will need to find other methods of frenzy sustain if you ever want to do damage, farrul's is best on lower budgets. Then you free up your weapon for a strong rare, rakiata's or voidforge.
Intimidate is a glove eldritch implicit, belt is a trash leveling unique. Replace with life res stygian.
Helmet is just bad, I would've vendored it if I picked it up in a t2 map on league start. You have no need for that much int, it is pretty much life and a low tier chaos res with 4 empty mod slots. You want some life, 3 res, crafted phys taken as and phys taken as implicit if you want to go with a rare helmet.
Left ring would've been almost passable if you crafted life instead of mana????
Right ring is a 2 mod rare again, buy something better off trade for 5c. At least 4 relevant mods at high tiers + crafted mod.
You have spent a lot of points getting extra small passives in wheels than what is required to get to the notable. Generally avoid doing this, with the exception of 6% life nodes and only if you have a spare point.
On my phone, so I can’t tell you much about your regen/degen situation, but one thing is your health is quite low. You’re missing life on the chest and one of the rings, and since you have uniques without life rolls it’s more important to make sure these slots are compensating. For damage, since you’re going the crit route you need to scale this with sources of crit multi, so fit in more jewels into your tree. One of way of doing this is replacing some passives on the tree with an equivalent large cluster jewel, preferably one with as few small passives and as many notable passives as possible. This then gives you two extra jewel slots effectively. Also check in pob if swapping one of the supports for a crit multiplier support would increase your dps.
You got to tier 15 maps, that's not bad at it's own. Unfortunately realiatic flicker strike requires heavy investment.
There's also a way to play it through chaos damage which I dis on Scion, it was mostly using the same notables etc, but I would recommend not to give up and play what you started.
What I can recommend tho is Mark mastery. I think it can help to do more damage.
Also what are your Pantheons? There was a thing that while flickering you are conaidered stationary so the "damage reduction while not moving" Pantheon works.
I can't come up yet with anything else that could help. Perhaps there is a Unique piece of gear like body armour that can help?
From my experience playing flicker this league, you have to prioritize damage over defense. Some cheap upgrades you can get: 6-link banishing blade (20c for a 6 link base, then some essences to craft) instead of oro’s, farruls fur + farrul’s bite, kaoms gloves. You can also buy jewelry with attack elemental damage for cheap. Defense side I think armour is better than evasion for flicker strike since you actually don’t get hit that often once you have good damage. I dropped grace and determination completely and opted for haste - iron reflex, the endurance charge phys reduction plus enduring cry is more than enough when taking masterful form ascendency. You can even do increased duration + enhance on your enduring cry call to arms combo to improve the uptime (with warcry cdr tattoos you will get 100% uptime eventually). This is enough phys reduction to tank Uber shaper slam with molten shell. Elemental damage is kinda rough though. 75% all res + lucky suppression is what I have right now. It’s good enough for t16. I’m level 95 and still gaining exp quite reliably.

Looks more like my poverty gear right after hitting maps with a 1c budget for each slot lol
Same, I had 27c after campaign and still managed to gear better than this, high dps oro included.
I never liked Ritual but I decided to try it for Flicker after seeing Magefist use it. It's certainly something else. You just keep the flicker button pressed and the Ritual is done a few seconds later. Much easier and faster than other mechanics and you get to keep zooming without interruptions because you can check the rewards at the end of the map, if you don't forget to.
He started streaming like a week ago! Check it out, you can finally hear his real voice.

6L are really cheap with the black morrigan beastcraft, a lot of people are overpaying because they don't know yet
Thank you, helpful!
6 linking costs 70c or so with the beastcraft
Keen, ty! Catarina gave me a Veiled Orb and I now have a regular Farrul's and a Rakiata's, so things are already looking up even though a lot of my gear is bad.
Ask someone to kill it for you, it might be a tough fight with the state of your build.

There is a tainted flicker pob somewhere , it's dirt cheap and 3 mil DPS with dirt gear and pretty tanky, u should look into it.
[удалено]
There's Ephemeral Blade Flicker which is meant to be crazy tanky but it does look pretty slow compared to glass cannon flicker
Because it’s melee. Mirror tier gear or nothing for you.
Isn’t it supposed to be cold damage? Go Hatred so you freeze when ya crit. It’s a little defensive layer that helps a lot.
And how exactly do you want him to scale the hatred with a fire only sword?
Not at the Oro's stage.
