Tarekis‘ Shadow Leveling^3.25

Notes

Leveling guide for Flicker Strike Trickster by Tarekis.

Might be used for any Shadow Leveling, but you'll want to adjust the tree.
This is based on the new econc leveling, shared by imexile and fubgun.

Switching to Flicker

You can switch to Flicker as soon as you have the following:
- High quality frenzy (the higher the better, don't run a 0%)
- Multistrike in your link
- Disciple of the Slaughter allocated on Tree (bottom center)
- Clever Thief allocated
- Tribal Fury  allocated on Tree (left of Disciple of the Slaughter)

ES = DMG, keep in mind you need quite some ES to make an EE worthile when you swap to Flicker. You could simply run any strong 1H Sword until you have a bit of ES.

Fury of the Vaal will carry you quite a long time if you can get your hands on one.

You can swap to CI at around 4k ES.
