Can some help me with doing a flicker strike build as a beginner?

Hi, I'm pretty much new to the game. Currently disappointed with my own build so I decided i wanted to try a Flicker Strike build. Unfortunetly, I got lost the moment I started doing some research, then went here with hope that some kind soul would like to help me and explain some things. I would appreciate any tips, guides, or literally anything that might help. Here, I link a Flicker Strike build I found on Mobalytics (from which I do not understand nun): https://mobalytics.gg/poe-2/builds/flicker-strike-gemling-ronarray P.S.- Sorry if I've done something wrong, not using Reddit too much

'The Coming Calamity' Javazon Build Help

Is there a decent Javazon build out there that utilizes 'The Coming Calamity'? Or if anyone wants to make me a pet project and help me fix up what I'm currently working with it would be a huge help. I'm not sure if it's feasible for me to be able to get the strength to use herald of ash (I have \~3.5 divs to my name), but I already got a pretty big spike in dps by switching chests. I'm still insanely squishy, but being able to kill things before they kill me helps. POB Link: [https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/4z63o08w](https://maxroll.gg/poe2/pob/4z63o08w)

can someone explain crushing blows to me?

I'm playing an SSF rolling slam build that focuses on stun, and I saw my ascendancy had "your hits have crushing blows", which says they cause heavy stun. I'm confused because when I use rolling slam, it already applies to the yellow bar under the health and eventually "heavy stuns" a boss, or is that something different? What is crushing blows actually compared to the stun I apply on bosses?

If you have Cats, check your screenshots folder!

I was wondering why and where a 1GB of space went but wasn't too concerned because it was only a 1GB and figured it was an update file or something. Nope. My Cat likes to sleep next to me while I'm gaming and will lay on the keyboard when I'm not around. Well I went to the bathroom, and came back to him sleeping on it, spamming F12. I had 1.36GB of screenshots in only a few minutes, and the pop-up saying "Screenshot Taken" keeps popping up because of how many were spammed. TLDR; Check your screenshot folder -> My Computer -> C: -> Program Files (x86) -> Steam -> UserData. Right-Click and see how much space is used from accidental screenshots

Wait... you CAN evade slams without the keystone?

I was testing the Mighty Silverfist monkey/pillar boss on my huntress to see how much damage it does on its strike, its slam and its mega triple wind up slam and found the following weirdness: Strikes, as expected, can be evaded and parried. Regular slam, Mega triple wind-up slam too, as expected, cannot be parried, but unexpectedly, \*can\* be evaded. I do NOT have the keystone allocated that lets you evade all hits. I do NOT have any special uniques or anything that should let me evasion work against slams/aoe In my testing, it appears that I was evading exactly as often as my tool tip says (80%) I'm so confused! What am I missing here?

How to target farm your desired mercenaries

Build used in video: [https://pobb.in/cZxceT\_AfwpI](https://pobb.in/cZxceT_AfwpI) Would be nice if we could itemize and buy mercenaries. Farming the desired merc AND having good support gems on the skills you want seem so tedious.

what is the difference between Path of Exile 1 and Path of Exile 2

Damage conversion works in different way. In poe 1 you can have pure physical damage 2h axe, scale it with increase physical damage passive nodes, more physical damage support gems, and than convert all that damage into fire and scale it from increase fire/elemental damage passives. In poe 2 it will only scale from fire/elemental damage passives, and conversion will work only for base physical damage.
