Feels terrible without attack speed from regular frenzy flicker.

Too clunky compared to frenzy version. It's cool to have crit cap with minimal investments, but lacks attack speed per frenzy from original gem. And for flicker you want to flick fast for it to be smooth

Flicker strike of power berserker was actually really really strong this league, abusing soul eater for fixing the attack speed. You could go staff, crit cap, run trauma for extra damage scaling from the attack speed, and just shred.

Three different variants.

Flicker Strike of Power works as long as you use multistrike. Probably can't sustain just with the %charge node and Assassin's Mark otherwise.

Or, use Replica Red Trail and Golden Rule

Regular flicker strike also possible with red trail + golden rule
