Flicker Strike can consume Power Charges to strike two additional enemies per power charge. Characters cannot gain Power Charges while attacking with Flicker Strike.
Profane Ritual provides a delayed source of Power Generation which works well with Flicker Strike when triggered.
Modifiers to area damage do appear to affect Flicker Strike, despite being a strike skill with no obvious area damage component. Area of effect has no apparent effect on the hit itself, but it does modify the targeting range of the teleport.[1]
