[3.19] Necro Flicker Strike (w/Vaal Detonate Dead!) - >2m DPS on Less than 2 Divine Budget

6L Body: Divergent Flicker Strike > Increased Crit. Strikes > Increased Crit. Damage > Multistrike > Elemental Dmg w/Attacks > Awakened Fire Pen.

6S Oro’s (doesn’t need 6L, just 6S): Ice Golem + Flame Dash + Vitality + Divergent Blood Rage + Vaal Detonate Dead + Enduring Cry
We don't really need support gems for Vaal Detonate Dead, because its just a little extra dmg against map bosses. However if you want, you can swap Vitality for a DD support gem. Enduring Cry is also optional but highly recommended, because it gives you instant life heal + Endurance charges.

4L Gloves: Spell Totem > Multiple Totem Support > Desecrate > Faster Casting
You could swap Faster Casting for Hypothermia Support, and your Desecrate will actually chill mobs. This is sort of useful in some scenarios.

4S Helmet: Anomalous Anger + Precision + Arctic Armor + Spirit Offering
Anomalous Anger is very good because its giving us life leech from elemental damage.

Boots (2+2L): CWDT + Molten Shell, Mark on Hit + Assassin’s Mark

You want 2 rare jewels with mods like:
% increased attack speed
% increased fire damage
% increased chance to ignite
% increased dmg with two handed weapons

You also want 2 unique jewels:
Mantra of Flames (adds around >200k DPS with all auras running)
Lethal Pride (The strength boost is important, but try to find one that will add mods like % increase melee damage, % chance for double damage, % critical strike multiplier, etc).

However feel free to experiment with other jewels and report your findings :)

Finding a good Lethal Pride is difficult. It's too expensive to slam Divine Orbs now on Lethal Pride to find the mods you want.

The random number in the jewel desc. (“Commanded leadership over #xxxx warriors”) is the “seed”. You can enter that number into Path of Building to see what mods it will actually give you. There’s like 8000 seeds, so good luck.

Weapon: Oro’s Sacrifice

Oro’s Sacrifice is the “bread and butter” of this build. It's a 2H sword that does pure fire damage. It gives you frenzy charges for igniting enemies, and also has Culling Strike. This allows us to scale Vaal Detonate Dead fire damage alongside our Flicker Strike DPS, with culling strike on map bosses and archnemesis monsters :)

Helmet: The Devouring Diadem

This is a really sexy helmet, especially with our Desecrate totems. It will passively consume nearby corpses every 5s. With desecrate totems, you’re getting the max heal (4K life) every 5s. It will also proc Undertaker from skill tree (30% dmg increase from consuming corpses).

It will make ES protect your mana instead of your health (downside), and reduce mana cost of our auras (upside). This helmet basically lets us run Anger + Precision + Arctic Armor for reduced mana cost, and passively heals us for huge amount.

You can buy one for around 15 - 25c on trade. You want it lab enchanted with either Flicker Strike damage boost, or Detonate Dead damage boost. You’ll probably have to run a lot of labs to get one of these enchants, because one already enchanted will cost >1 divine.

Body Armor: Any 6L with good elemental resistance rolls.

It just needs to be a 6L with good elemental resists for mapping. If you want to spend more money, you can get a Loreweave or something. But overall the 6L + elemental resists are what we really want on body armor, at least for basic mapping and currency farming.

Gloves: Meginord’s Vise while leveling, then later additional strike gloves.

Meginord’s Vise is the best imo for leveling and early mapping. The passive splash damage adds so much clearing to your flicker strike. Later on when you’ve saved up currency, try to buy a “decent” multistrike gloves (+1 additional strike). But multistrike gloves aren’t cheap, and Meginord’s will last you a long time.
Surgebinders are also an option for more single-target damage, and also map mods like "monsters gain frenzy/power".

Boots: Gang’s Momentum

These boots give us % increased chance to ignite (for our Frenzy sustain), and also 40% dmg against ignited enemies. Big DPS boost for map clearing :)

Another option is https://pathofexile.fandom.com/wiki/Corpsewalker boots. These will boost your dmg after consuming corpses, similar to Undertaker node. However the Corpse Walk passive does not proc while using flicker strike.

Amulet: Greatwolf Talisman (Attack Dmg + Fire Dmg, anoint Lava Lash)

For early leveling/mapping, you can get any decent rare amulet and anoint it with Undertaker, to save yourself a few skill tree points.

Later on though, a Greatwolf Talisman with fire dmg + attack dmg rolls is preferable. You’ll want to anoint it with Lava Lash. This will add around ~450k DPS to your flicker strike.

Finding a Greatwolf Talisman with those specific rolls shouldn’t be too hard, I got one for 3 chaos. The oil costs for anointing were much more than the amulet.

Rings: Polaric Devastation + The Taming

Both of these rings add a large amount of DPS. The Polaric ring goes on the left slot for passive “cover enemies in ash when you ignite them”. The Taming gives us more elemental dmg boost, and 10% chance to ignite.

Belt: Stygian Vise with strength + elemental resists.

You want at least 50 strength and elemental resists. Then you can benchcraft “% increased elemental damage”. For the abyss jewel, find something with “fire damage to attacks” + “fire damage to sword attacks”.

Flasks: Life, Diamond, Atziri’s Promise, Wise Oak, Cinderswallow Urn

You want corrupted blood immunity on life flask.
Diamond flask for crit chance
Atziri’s Promise for chaos resist and life leech
Wise Oak for fire resist penetration on monsters.
Cinderswallow Urn with life gain on kill.
