That sucked. At the least, I wished I didnt mess up first turn against boss.")

That was super epic!! But I also made super epic mistakes!! I wanted to stall on Hera-Is but I couldnt. I should have killed Vishnu while he was delayed. My puzzling on some turns were pretty embarrassing. I could have killed Beelzebub more efficiently (I messed up big time first turn). And just a warning that its a pretty long video. Thanks for watching!

![[POE 3.11] Ele Flicker Strike with my new dream sword](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/f2rD1TKc_aI/mqdefault.jpg "[POE 3.11] Ele Flicker Strike with my new dream sword
New POB https://pastebin.com/UCxT72zV This one has slightly different gems and new amulet. The clear speed is improved and I have a little more life.
Outdated POB https://pastebin.com/3YY7graE (using LocalIdentify Fork. 30.0170885 Million DPS is the number I see.)
By no means Im claiming that this is the best flicker sword/build ever. But this is my dream flicker sword.
Note, this build is just a test-run version of my build in Standard. I just wanted to try out the sword within Harvest.
My pseudo 9-link sword (yes, 9 link. no-mana counts as a link. Think of it like blood magic support) is quite strong when paired with added ele damage. This goes well with the buffed darkness enthroned and harvest-crafted near-perfect abyss jewels.
If youve ever played flicker, you know that mana is sometimes hard to deal with. You often have to settle for slower atk speed, use inspiration, stack minus mana, use 1 fewer aura, etc. I actually avoided crusader maps in my previous lvl 100 run because of this issue. It can even run no leech/regen maps or kill enemies on crusader grounds. This build completely avoids these mana problems.
Having 2 full flicker setups is unnecessary but I think its pretty cool and convenient.
New chainbreaker keystone is quite strong, for both clearing and bossing. Rage regen is very fast. It lets me use berserk for a few seconds against shaper/sirus.
Enduring cry + fortify effect + dodge makes me quite tanky for a raider.

EDIT:
Some further explaining...
I play POE with 1 big long term goal: to perfect my favorite 15-frenzy flicker build in std. Its a moving target where the definition of perfect shifts every league. I pursue the goal knowing that its never attainable. Everything else I do are side projects, memes, or just for short term fun.
This sword was one thing that can improve that std build. By replacing my paradoxica that I am currently using with this, my dps doesnt change much, it may even decrease a bit, but I get to use flicker with no mana, plus some extras like gain a ton of atk speed and gain sockets. So it goes way beyond just DPS. 0 mana is extremely valuable for flicker. No mirror weapon exists that gives more dps than paradoxica for that build, and also no mirror weapon gives 0 mana cost like my new sword.
I wasnt planning on building a build within harvest to use the sword, but I realized I could make an ok build if I stacked abyss jewels. Everyone is overestimating the cost of this build, btw. It took more farming and crafting than currency. I crafted every single item. Those near-perfect abyss jewels cost like 20c + farming. My arguably mirror tier boots cost like 7ex + farming. I dont know how much I spent on the sword but it took more ex to learn how to best craft the sword thru trial and error than the actual crafting. If I did it again, it will probably cost less than 50ex, which I think is insanely cheap considering 50 mirrors probably wouldnt be enough to craft it outside of harvest.")
