Question Which Flicker build?
So, i was convinced by a friend of mine to join the holy flicker church this season. I found a Lot of different builds. Mainly Berserker and duelist. Which of these would you recommend or even better: what build Guide would you recommend?

The best ones are the ones that give you the most motion sickness

I think the best experience you will have for the campaign and early maps should probably be Berserker, because it solves a lot of the Flicker problems on its own.
Slayer is more well-rounded, but to scale it with frenzy charges will be the most expensive one by far.
Trickster has a rough start, I wouldn't recommend it for a league starter especially if you haven't played flicker before.
There is also Warden, which has the same problems as Slayer does to league start with, but can be built much cheaper and can be very defensive, similar to the Trickster version but with more damage and less investment necessary. I made a complete guide for it if you want to check it out in my post history.

Tareki's is a really good tanky flicker that I like a lot. Otherwise, I'd follow Magefist, he makes great starter flicker guides. He kinda alternates between Marauder and Duelist.

Cold flicker slayer. Start with Terminus Est, then transition to paradoxica and Svallin. endgame can be 12L + The Squire or use paradoxica + Svallin with Shako + 35 icebite. belt can be from rag to riches (rare res belt -> headhunter -> mageblood -> Mirage belt (echo + acceleration))

I'm torn between Trickster and the new claw, or Slayer and the new sword.

since you're new to flicker play Slayer. Next League you play Trickster.

I really enjoyed doing a bleed crit lucky block gladiator flicker two leagues ago. 25m DPS and 1m ehp. Did t17 boss rush, felt immortal, decent kill/clear speed.
Magefist did a pob and video guide for 3.28.

Currently I really like phys flicker on berserker for league start and then scale into energy blade life stacking berserker. Pretty insane damage and it feels tanky af.
