Cold Acid Flask Falconer | Corruption 1042 - Last Epoch
Channel: Juse
Date: 2024-03-14

Optimisation from here:
- Try slam a 2nd Heirloom with at least t7 throwing attack cost reduction and t5 throwing attack speed/cold res (missing 23% AS on mine)
- Slam t7 hybrid health/t5 % health or flat health on as many pieces possible. 4 LP Frostbite Shackles/Snowdrifts are basically impossible to get in cycle though. Aspirational build has over 3k hp with poison on hit idols.
- Missing 200% cold res in slams = 120% cold pen off of Knowledge of Immunity.

Low life build is in the works.

How the build does damage: spam Explosive Trap detonations to fling multiple Acid Flasks that stack frostbite DoTs. 

How to sustain mana: T7 throwing cost red rings x2, using a pot with 'mana gained on potion use' experimental affix on belt, Sapping Strikes x direct Flask cast (x2 value with Elecoe), 6/6 Rover Stamina mana regen/mana on dodge, Hunter's Spoils.

How to get more DPS:
- Change vit idols to poison on hit. x4 20% 3x1 & x2 11% 2x1 idols can get you +102% poison on hit chance with Throne of Ambition. These cost nothing.
- Change Shurikens to Net - 10% damage vs slowed enemies / 20% AS (Leading The Hunt + Quick Throws) buff for 6s. Lose armor, better in a low life build where you'd have 3k+ base.

It shows all exalted gear but recolors them based on number of wanted affixes:
white = 1+ (starter only)
blue = 2+
yellow = 3+
pink = 4+

Notes:
- Frostbite = A DoT that deals cold dam and increases chance to be Frozen by 20%. It has 36 base dam and lasts 3s. It can stack with no limit but only the first 30 stacks increase chance to be Frozen. Frostbite has a fixed base damage, but is affected by damage modifiers from the skill tree and attribute scaling of the skill that applies it. We've got 260% Frostbite chance (applies multiple stacks) off of the core 3 uniques: Frostbite Shackles/Snowdrift/Volatile Ice. It’s got double cold pen. Every 10% FRM you’ve got converts to 2% cold pen via Snowdrift. Every 5% uncapped cold res converts to 3% cold pen via the Knowledge of Immunity Acid Flask node. No pen cap. Pen bypasses a given amount of enemy % res. This even can go into the negative, so even on enemies with 0 res (which most enemies have) it will increase your dam. Shred = -5% (or -2% vs bosses) res to enemies, stacks up to x times.
- Only need 1 point in Minefield as each detonation procs the Flask flings so multiple traps make no diff. No need to aim.
- Base dam of frostbite scales harder with FRM than % cold damage.
- Elecoe's gives x2 mana back from Sapping Strikes (direct flask only and must hit an enemy) and experimental mana belt affix off of direct Flask casts. The bird does the same every 6s or 75% chance to refill on direct Flask cast. Pots won't be an issue with leech.
- Ash compartment is our only source of cold shred.
- Contamination, Hydrochloric Acid & Lasting Sickness aren't working with cold, either bugged or the trade-off for double cold pen.
- Main defense = capped dodge/glancing blows while spamming traps (Smoke Traps node buffs the fuck out of these), 90% GB base, over 2k stacked armor from Throne of Ambition/Stymphalian Feathers/Shurikens, double leech from Bleeding Heart + throwing attack leech blessing, 9% block, ward when enemies freeze off Frostbite Shackles and -32% damage taken while moving.
- Went Frozen Ire over a dagger as FI caps necrotic res so you can get cold res elsewhere, gives 658% FRM where daggers can't get that, there are no good cold dagger uniques to slam, frees up the poison nodes you'd take for defensive nodes like Shroud of Dusk and the 120% cold damage/Tundra Nova on hit for ward generation are nice freebies.
