FAQ

Why do I need dual setups?+

Clear Setup optimizes AoE mobility for farming. Single Target Setup is needed for Mosh Pit and boss fights. Switch between them based on content.

Is this build affected by the 15/4 bugfix patch?+

Slightly impacted, but still endgame viable for Inferno. The core Flicker Strike mechanic remains strong.

What's the most important tree node for this build?+

Incarnation Tree AoE nodes are mandatory for effectiveness. Without them, the build can't reach its screen-clear potential.

Is this good for beginners?+

No — it demands comfort with rapid positioning and situational awareness. Better for players experienced with melee mechanics.
