[Acolyte of Chayula] - Tempest Flurry Flicker - CI - ES/EV - Easy T18 clear (~2M DPS bossing)

Hello everyone, first build I have done so far in any game, able to run endgame content and feel near immortal.

You open with Tempest Flurry to generate power charges and first round of them is used on Charged Staff, after that you consume them on Flicker Strike and keeping Charged Staff up before expiry of the buff.

For bossing open with Hand of Chayula and smack them with Tempest Bell, power charge your staff ASAP and keep dropping bells as you are generating combo points. Use Flicker once your combo on Flicker is high and you have spare power charges.

High evasion, chaos damage immunity and decent energy shield keep you alive, just watch for AOEs if you are not gonna take Acrobatics.

Your build is looking really interesting, I'm thinking of trying it.

But you should really put up a build planner link for this (mobalytics or maxroll or whatever) so we can easily see the passives and skills without having to rewatch and search in the video. That's just a basic requirement for a guide really.

Deep dive of the build is linked with gameplay included and I have created basic build on Mobalytics, will be updating it tomorrow with more information so it's pretty barebones now.

Hi, When We can start using that build? I'm currently at cruel act 2.

I recommend starting it once you finish the campaign because you need a lot of passive skill tree points to make it work.

Build is updated for 0.1.0e patch.

Made some more updates to optimize the build, added Acrobatics.

Building towards this build as it fits my play style and so far (even with missing skills/support gems) it has been significantly helpful in Cruel Act 1. Thank you for this build.

This is a really good build. I’ve been toying with trying chaos inoculation, but been afraid to commit. How painful is Acrobatics for evasion hit? Also, how do you like frenzy charges? For compare I’ll post my tree when I’m not on phone. what I’ve been running for the tree is primarily extra mana leech, extra life on kill, power charges, crit + crit knockback on quarterstaff. Similar skills to you, but focused more on power charge gain with lingering illusion and siphon strike, also running mantra of destruction for juiced flicker or falling thunder… A 7 power charge flicker or falling thunder is incredibly rewarding, with quarterstaff hidden extra one, and there’s a good chance to retain power charges after use with passives on tree too! My biggest problem for me is mana leech and + level to melee skills in gear. Skill expense is a problem with +10 level to skills! Also went with chaos resist on mastery tree for 85% chaos resist since I’m not immune to Chaos.
