[3.0] How to Flicker. Terminus Est Edition!

What do you think about the new unique helm, Lightpoacher? Do you think it could do well in this build? It seems pretty powerful, but we have no spell scaling.
I'm using Oskarm atm and it is amazing, without these gloves, I might not even bother with Flicker. Not having to run Blasphemy assassin's mark is awesome. The belt looks interesting, though I am not sure it means ALL socketed abyss jewels, or just the ones socketed in the belt. 50% better abyss jewels across the board would be pretty OP.
@KillerKookie

In my opinion the loss of Abyssus is a severe hit on your DPS, one that i think is not justifiable by the use of Lightpoacher (which is indeed a nice item even if you did no damage with the nova-like skill). Feel free to test it out though.

@roguemjb

The belt increases the jewel effectiveness of the jewels socketed inside the belt. That though can be extremely powerful - with perfect jewels you are looking at a belt with 150 life, 30 all res, 24-36 physical damage to sword attacks and 36% crit chance or 36% crit multi or 720 accuracy ... i mean it can be crazy... again ... if you have the jewels this is literally the best belt in the game (besides headhunter)

I gave Lightpoacher a try, and it definitely feels a lot slower, with less damage output, compared to Abyssus, losing the crit multiplier & flat physical damage addition is a bit too much to warrant a change IMO.

It also feels like the skill isn't really useful for Flicker either, since you're teleporting all around the place, it's hard to get most of the nova to connect to enemies.
It is definitely not worth it for a Terminus flicker. I do find the life recovery a good option for say a RT flicker build, though i can't be sure until i test this (hopefully next week)... we'll see

Running this build as my league starter on Abyss and so far so good. I'm about to do my last ascendancy, and I'm torn with the new reflect changes as well as the change to Brutal Fervour.

My theory is that, with 100% increased life leeched per second from Brutal Fervour partnered with Vaal Pact, the leech will be absolutely disgusting (close to instant). To me, that sounds more valuable than 20% more damage and 15% increased area if you've killed recently. What is your opinion on the best 4th ascendancy node?

With the vaal pact change i prefer Brutal Fervour currently.

I just hope brutal fervor increases the leech cap in the same way vaal pact does
Can't wait for this build to be updated, means I will start playing POE again. Only build I have ever found that I really enjoyed :D
@Rauvagol
As far as i know - it does.

@Gore1997
Well you can start right away! The only difference is:
1. Pick Vaal Pact
2. Always pick Brutal Fervor over Headsman
3. Buy Oskarm gloves and drop the Assassin's mark + blasphemy.(after that you could use Hatred instead of HoA for some more damage as you'll have the needed mana without blasphemy )

That's it!
