58 Cold Acid Flask Falconer - Starting Monos | Last Epoch 1.1 Cycle 2 Day 1

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planne...

Update @ 84 (day 1):    • 84 Cold Acid Flask Falconer - Corrupt...  

Levelled up with acid flask, cinder strike burning daggers/ 5/5 ignite and 2/2 volatile flask mainly with a bow/quiver. Less awks. I started using trap actively at ~55+. Cinder ignite was nice with life leech. I went falconry at 20 and started levelling trap at 35. Shift and delvl cinder for shurikens at 50. Not running the clustered explosives node yet in explosive trap (2 additional traps thrown but costs more mana) and 2/3 trap sprinkler so missing a fucktonne of damage but it works until you can sustain the ultimate tree. I've got x2 -3 throwing cost red rings on to show you how well it works. You can also generate mana by spamming shurikens via sapping strikes if low. I only swapped to vial recently, at 55+ when I reached level 3 merchant guild when you can buy uniques. It was free, only costed favor. Going for Elecoe's next. If you are struggling with survivability in the campaign, you need life leech. I was lucky to get a bleeding heart off one of those new altars (which btw give insanely good loot). You could run leech gloves or relic. It will make a huge difference. I am currently running the starter filter.

Base 1.1 life build: https://www.lastepochtools.com/planne...
Note: a crystal wand is taken over Frozen Ire for the +60 mana early. Once you get T7 throwing cost red rings, swap to frozen ire. Gives more frostbite base dam even unslammed. Wand and all res blessing temporarily.

Mattjestic reviewed the life build:    • 2000% FREEZE RATE New META Acid Flask...  

❗️Flat health blessing shown in vid should be Rahyeh (gives you double life leech with Bleeding Heart) as per life planners.

Cycle 2 changes:

BUFFS
- Frostbite now deals 50 damage (from 36) 🤑🤑🤑 38.89% damage increase.
- Alchemical Proficiency (the flask mana reduction node) now also grants 3% more damage per point. We normally don’t run it but it now gives 15% damage with a 5 node investment. Will need to lose some flask travel speed to max it though but that won't affect our dps. Also debilitate is our only source of frailty in the setup which is a huge defensive loss in high corruption so might need to add that back and only run 3-4 AP.
- Haste, Frenzy, and Immobilize can no longer be replaced by stacks with a lower remaining duration (e.g. a Haste effect with 4 seconds remaining cannot be replaced by a new one with a 2 second duration)
- Snowblind: Now also grants chill immunity. Now also grants 16-24% more armor against chilled enemies. Now also grants 16-24% more armor against blinded enemies. Huge. Do they stack? Fuck knows.

NERFS
- Gustborne Guard ward nerf by 50%. “Gustborne Guard converts the health gain from Healing Gust to ward at 50% reduced effect (from no reduction).”
- Smoke Trap’s chance to grant Dusk Shroud per second spent arming is now 30% (from 40%). It was due but still broken. Arm time nerf doesn’t affect us really.
- Fixed a bug where traps triggered to explode by exceeding the maximum active trap limit had an unintentionally high chance to trigger gaining Dusk Shroud from the Smoke Traps node. This is expected to significantly reduce the amount of Dusk Shroud stacks gained in typical use cases.
- Frostbite Shackles: Now grants +1% ward retention per 2% uncapped cold resistance (from +1% ward retention per 1% uncapped cold resistance). As we stacked over 700% cold res, that is a lot of stable ward lost.
- Snowdrift: Now grants 1% cold penetration with Frostbite per 10% freeze rate multiplier (from 2% per 10%). Nerf to all frostbite builds but we still get double cold pen from Knowledge of Immunity x Snowdrift.

Summary: Probably more damage than before, yes we lose some cold penetration but we gain a LOT of base damage on frostbite and a x1.15 multiplier on alchemical proficiency. Low life build has been gutted with the above ward nerfs but the life build is unaffected by them defensively. We'll have more armor than before with the new Snowblind affixes which will be dope with Shurikens! Can probably reach 4k+ easily.
