Poe 3.20: Scales extremely Flicker Strike Slayer Build

Flicker Strike is a powerful and fast skill in Path of Exile, but can be difficult to use. This guide provides a way to get started with a build tailored for use as a league starter.

Features:

• Flicker Strike: Fastest skill in Path of Exile, but least-accessible
• Suitable for league starter and Solo Self-Found
• Can easily hit 1-2 million DPS on minimal investment

Poe 3.20: Shield Crush Slayer Build

This Shield Crush build is a great build for all types of players looking for an effective league start to get off the ground. It is capable of doing all endgame content and is SSF friendly. It is also very tanky, with about 100k eHP, and has lots of ways to keep the defenses up. The build is also fast when it comes to mapping and has lots of offensive, defensive, and flask flexibility to make it your own. However, it is not a one button build, as there are many buttons to press, and it is weak to DoT damage early on. Additionally, it has reduced block chance maps, which can be dangerous, and there is the issue of dexterity and intelligence starvation unless you have Carnage Heart.

 

Features:

• Scales into a character that can reasonably do all endgame content
• Easy to get gear 
• Reliable scaling
• Large amounts of safety
• SSF friendly
• Comprehensive build guide with mechanic breakdowns, upgrade options, crafting steps, etc.
• Overleech, 20% culling strike, and aoe gains during maps for quality of life when mapping
