The relentless chaos of Path of Exile 2 has reached new heights with patch 0.2.0, and players are once again turning their attention to Rogue Exile farming—a high-risk, high-reward endgame activity that has become the talk of the community. Leading the charge is the return of the Flicker Strike Amazon Build, which is redefining speed-clearing and boss assassination in the endgame meta.

Patch 0.2.0 brings refined enemy behavior, new exile modifiers, and balance shifts that have dramatically improved the viability of high-mobility melee builds. As a result, the Flicker Strike Amazon, once considered a niche or stylistic choice, has now surged to the top as one of the most effective and exciting builds for Rogue Exile hunting.

Rogue Exiles Return in Force

Rogue Exiles—named NPC bosses equipped with powerful randomized gear—have returned in abundance in the latest patch, providing massive loot drops, high XP yields, and a chance at crafting materials critical to min-maxing late-game gear & POE 2 Currency. With their buffed AI and new affix pools, they now present a deadly challenge even for experienced players.

To meet that challenge, the community has embraced the Amazon archetype—a dexterity-based melee warrior whose Flicker Strike-based build leverages teleportation-style movement and rapid-hit burst damage. When combined with the right support gems and passive tree investments, this Amazon becomes a blur of blades, teleporting from target to target at lightning speed.

Build Highlights: Flicker Strike Amazon

Key features of the build include:

· Core Skill: Flicker Strike (now with improved targeting and cooldown scaling in 0.2.0g)

· Support Gems: Multistrike, Ruthless, Melee Splash, Ancestral Call

· Passive Tree Focus: Attack Speed, Frenzy Charge generation, Bleed/Poison scaling

· Gear Priorities: High evasion/dex armor, increased critical chance, and Frenzy on Hit modifiers

· Keystones: Phase Acrobatics, Vaal Pact, and Blood Drinker

This setup excels in Rogue Exile farming maps, where density and fast reaction time are critical. The Amazon's ability to chain through targets without pause, combined with life leech and Frenzy generation, makes her virtually unstoppable in high-paced encounters.

Farming Efficiency Meets Flashy Combat

Top streamers and high-ranking players have already begun showcasing their Flicker Strike Amazons ripping through exile-infested zones in seconds. “It's like playing a lightning storm in melee form,” one player commented. “You blink, and the room's cleared. The synergy between Frenzy charges and Flicker is just perfect right now.”

According to community reports, players using this build are averaging three to five Rogue Exile kills per minute on fully juiced maps, maximizing loot returns and leveling speed.

Looking Forward

As GGG continues refining Path of Exile 2's combat systems and map modifiers, the Flicker Strike Amazon is poised to remain a fan-favorite for farming the deadliest enemies in the game. Patch 0.2.0g may just be the golden age of Rogue Exile farming—and those who embrace this build are already reaping the rewards.

Wraeclast waits for no one. Equip your Flicker Strike, sharpen your blades, and dive into the chaos—because the Rogue Exiles are back, and the Amazon is ready to hunt.
