Builds:Flicker Shield

Ever wish you could sheck off your temporal bonds? Tired of living in the realm of sanity? Do you have a penchant for repetition and flickering screens? Then the Flicker Shield may be for you!

The main purpose of the build is picking up Mana Memory/The Rush of Sacrifice nodes on Shield Rush to cast it indefinitely with health leech to offset the health cost. It scales well with melee, void and physical damage. It has a large amount of survivability based on being able to actually avoid enemy attacks, as you dash and flicker around the enemies, out of their reach.

Equipment Commentary
Doomblade is hands down the best option for the build, as it brings both implicit void and physical damage to the table. Dreamthorn is a nice alternative if you're not having much luck with crafting. Early on you can add Melee Damage Leeched as Health Shard your weapon to make up for a lack of other leech sources if needed.

Shards are mainly relegated to defensiveness as most of the passives add a lot to the damage. Health is one of the more important defensives as it directly effects the amount of health that you can leech. Glancing Blow Chance and Dodge Chance are good as well as they can reduce percentage of damage taken.
