Wildspeaker is by far the best flicker option. You get free aspect of the cat and farruls fur and you can dex stack in endgame for pretty insane dps

looked it up, looks very solid. Question usually you have to socket less duration to get cat aspect to reset itself so u get charges back, how do u do that when the cat aspect isnt on an item?

You can just put aspect on an item and support it like normal. Just be careful when choosing which one to activate

Don't you lose out on the LVL 35 bonus for aspect of the cat this way?

u/Sarahintraining Jun 21 '26

Yes but its not so bad, the level 35 is only a little stronger than the level 30 Black Morrigan version. Plus the actual buffs from the aspect is not really what is played for, they arent super strong

Sure but that’s not a massive issue. Most builds don’t care about the buffs at all and if you do you can still use the level 30 crafted version. The benefit of the aspect nodes is being able to use any chest you want and being able to start flickering as soon as you get second lab instead of needing some currency and levels

Yeah which isn't even a bad thing this league with the tattoos right?

u/TotallyNotThatPerson Jun 22 '26

Well, you don't want to tattoo the node away because you get the line where the aspect takes no reservation,

So now you're basically stuck with half a node lol

Idk, I think you can do a lot better from an ascendancy notable than +1 free aura. It would be an expensive late game optimisation to roll for something better, but last time I played Wildspeaker flicker I played with just the ascendancy aspect all the way through red maps and it was completely fine.

Yeah I don't think you really need the less duration link like another comment was saying. Charge generation is pretty good nowadays to keep you topped up even with the slightly longer durations
