Just got a lucky ass conversion in the league mechanic. Worth 16ex.

What do you think is worth chasing right now? I want to try saviour plus paradoxica but I think those builds are dead, so running better foils?

Paradoxica is still as great as it ever was, Saviour just had the small nerf that the clones don't do splash damage (Strike skills used by Mirage Saviours cannot hit additional targets). Both are still decent, but Paradoxica is best damage for the money for sure.

Just bought a nice Paradoxica for just 1.5 ex, they're going cheap af right now :D

(sorry for my english) Great build!! Its my first try use flicker strike. This build really fun and cheap and easy to understand. Now i have lvl 87 and i was looking for items to be stronger but its not so cheap (speaking about some ex orbs). I really love unique Oni-Goroshi Charan's Sword so i tried to use it in your build and replaced Hatred with Herald of Ash to make enemy burn so Oni can work as it must.... After this my dps in game raised almost 4 times. But i dont know is this build must have dual swords or i can use Oni-Goroshi with no loss? (and can i have as much dps with Oni as with dual swords?)
Thank you for really great build!

Super interesting idea, I almost forgot about this sword! I just drew up a new tree, I just removed some dual wielding nodes and changed some pathing. You can also remove your diamond flask because the crit on Oni is already so high, you don't need it! I would recommend using a Sin's Rebirth instead, or a silver flask with 'of Heat'.

The dps in what I just drew up is nearly identical to the main build, but the tricky part is how to ignite enemies. You're correct that Herald of Ash would work, but that is only on kill, so the sword is useless for killing bosses. You will need to use something to reliably ignite enemies apart from the Ash burn. I think your best option would be to get a white socket onto Oni, in which you can swap in a Combustion gem (49% ignite chance at lvl 20) for bosses. I would swap out Ruthless for it. Combustion is a bit lower dps, but certainly beats having to use multiple lousy uniques to increase your ignite chance.

Here's the PoB I just drew up that I think will be the most effective.

Alternatively, I just noticed, you could grab the 2 ignite nodes in the lower right for a total of 25% ignite chance, and avoid using Combustion, and have better boss dps, but worse overall.

It is certainly an interesting take on this build, and entirely viable. The burning damage you have to deal with might get to be a pain though. Keep us updated on it!
