Level 95 CI Flicker Strike Trickster^3.24

Notes

Self-crafting essentially all rares, you can try to buy them but they'll probably be at a hefty premium if you find any that match.

On any item you craft you need Strength to fulfill Requirements unless you source elsewhere, you'll need at least two good rolls or one and a +30 tree node.
If you happen to have a blank suffix you can benchcraft on, you might want to keep it unless you already have strenght fullfillment planned otherwise.
If you have the currency to do so, 28+% quality with Perfect Fossils and Sacred Orb your ES bases. Sacred can be done after crafting too, be sure to do quality before hand in 3.24!

Color those offsocket 4-links with jewellers, not chroms. 3R2G1B Chest is best done with 1R bench craft on average.

NECROPOLIS CRAFTING
Necropolis crafts enable you to get very cheap tri t1 ES items, while I have no Graveyard crafting guides, consider doing some of the crafts with the mechanic or just buying them.
ES Recharge on the suffixes is fully useless, so yolo anulling, trying to craft with fractured mods, or just rerolling suffixes with eldrich modifiers.
Enormous ES numbers for cheap is the new normal this league, so if you move some mods like shock avoid to e.g. jewels, you can get high ES for really cheap.
Pure ES and nothing else isn't the very best you can get, but it's very cheap to minmax ES (disregarding suffixes, which are very powerful, but pricey, so giga ES can be viewed as the lower tier of high tier versions of this build)

Helmet:
Prefixes: you want as high ES as possible, if you want to increase DPS veiled chaos prefixes for +2 AoE
Suffixes: Shock Avoid, Ele Res / Int, (+2 Essence Mod if you can min-max if you can min-max shock avoid with boot mods or 50% jewel + 100% DE)

My crafting process:
- Fractured ES Mod Base (flat is better than %inc, since benchcraft %inc is way better)
- Spam T1 Torments until 2 high tier res/int
- Add Searching Dominance

Prefix strategies:
Budget ES-only:
- Eldrich Chaos for secondary ES mod
- Eldrich Exalted if Chaos was empty (Cheaper than raw Exalted)
- Benchcraft last ES mod

Costly +2 AoE:
- Clear Prefixes (high chance with Eldrich Chaos)
- Lock Suffixes
- Veiled chaos, hope for empty third prefix or high ES mod (unsure how that works exactly in 3.24?)
- Craft life if empty to block some unveils
- Unveil +2 AoE
- Benchcraft last ES mod
- If prexises were filled, repeat the entire craft

Gloves:
In 3.24 there's a new frenzy prefix! Absolutely needed, since you can get +1 frenzy and still have eldrich implicits!
What exactly the best way to craft those is i'm unsure yet, but either crafofexile will be able to tell you, or (I'll try that strategy sometimes soon) fracture +1 frenzy and craft as stated below and drop the hybrid ES mod.

Gloves can have vastly different mods, there are many good options, e.g.:
- the "default" flicker gloves with +1 frenzy, +non-vaal strike targets
- pure ES, pure Res
- ES/Res + atk spd/dmg

I went for the last option;
My crafting process:
- Fractured ES Mod Base (flat for atk spd, hybrid %inc for pure ES)
- Spam T1 Zeal until 2 high tier res/int (use Woe for pure ES until triple T1 ES alternatively)

If you went for atk spd, you need to fix prefixes:
- Eldrich Chaos for secondary ES mod or +lightning to attacks
- Eldrich Exalted if Chaos was empty
- Benchcraft last ES mod

If you went for pure ES you need to fix suffixes, which is a bit lackluster IMO
You could also throw in a prefix lock and veiled chaos + slam if you want but probably
- Eldrich Chaos until 1/2 high tier res/int
- Eldrich Exalted if Chaos only had 1 mod
- Benchcraft last mod

Boots:
In 3.24 there's a new shock avoid suffix, consider it and getting +4 auras on the helmet instead (Aura Essence instead of shock avoid). If you need to drop bleed entirely you might need to stop moving (not flickering) sometimes, consider if that is worth it for you.
Again, high ES prefixes, res/int suffixes
If you want to (you probably don't need it, but some people prefer it, get movement speed instead of ES hybrid, but you'll be flickering+leap slamming anyway, so I never do)

This is the most buyable non-jewellery slot of them all, if you can get a good deal you might wanna buy instead of craft.

My crafting process:
- Fractured %inc ES Mod Base
- Spam T1 Woe until high hybrid ES
- Fix Suffixes with Eldrich Currency as above

If you are running Vaal Flicker Strike, you can Veiled Chaos for inc dmg during Soul Gain Prevention for a good DPS increase while it's on CD, this is only really useful for very beefy bosses tho

Body Armour:
You can just roll a Bronn's Lithe (definitely cheaper) or craft a rare chest with high ES/Evasion with resistances/attributes:

- Fractured T2 %es/eva Sadist Garb
- Spam Dense/Prismatic until triple T1 ES/Evasion
- Eldrich Suffix fix if you didn't get lucky with resistances/attributes
- Veiled Chaos for hybrid Attributes is decent, but not worth IMO

Rare Ring:
Finish off your build with whatever you need from ring, and get ES & Damage if you're res capped.
You can build your ring spamming Torment or Woe and hoping for the best, or just buy one.
I simply searched for ES, flat lighting, ele w/ atk, ele/lightning %dmg and bought the best price/value one.

Rare Abyss Jewels:
If you run Darkness Enthroned socket the best ones there, preferrably:
ES & Flat Lightning & Flat Lightning w/ Swords & Atk Speed
Fix your Shock avoidance with one, and get Corrupted Blood Immunity if you don't have another jewel that does

Search:
For high DPS Jewels in your DE:

Belt:
High-rolled Darkness Enthroned with DPS Abyss Jeweles or Crystal Belt with ES, Flask Effect, Ele Dmg (Res if you need it)

Lethal Pride:
Essentially just get the Indimidation Chance Node, then as many Double Damage Chance as possible, and maybe Strength to complete requirements.

3 DD, 1 Intimidation

Or to tweak: Conqueror does not matter as Keystone wont be specced, deselect all and select only used nodes!
