Flickering Flame

Currently theory crafting a Martial Arts Assassin build that specialized in

Tiger Strike with

Dragon Tail Finisher. Those familiar with

Dragon Tail know that it takes the attack’s physical damage and adds to it a fire component aoe explosion equal to a multiple of the physical damage. An attack with 7,000 physical damage can equal 50,000 damage or more in aoe

Fireball like explosion. With

Amplify Damage first reducing a monsters physical resistance and a sunder charm plus facets, Phoenix, and or Infinity lowing a monsters fire resistance, the possible damage outcome can be in the hundreds of thousands. If you use Flickering Flame as your

Helm, you completely offset the fire res issues of a sundering charm, and gain a big boost to

Dragon Tail since it’s a fire based attack. Couple these with dual Phoenix and a the reaper’s toll merc, or Phoenix

Lacerator and Infinity merc to trounce even p8 baddies in a single

Dragon Tail finisher, regardless of players count — uniques and bosses excluded.
