Last Epoch 1.1 season2 Falconer Fire acid flask 1.700 corruption showcase

Dragonsong throwing build is finally full online!!
So the build grew, I have most of the desired affixes in my legendaries now, and can comfortably farm 1700+ corruption.
Im playing falconer with explosive trap triggering acid flask, throwing damage converted to fire.
Using dragonsong bow as its super cool, but we have another setup with dagger+shield, probably is better for higher corruption, since we have one more defensive layer & damage reduction.
I dont have any critical avoidance, doing a test playing with blind after it got reworked (blinded enemies cant do critical strikes).
We can play with a different setup, giving up on shift (I love shift :/ ) and using smoke bomb as movent skill and fitting dive bom into the build. Probably will buff the damage even more.
Current Planner:

Aspirational planner as requested: (this is only for a long min/max grind):
www.lastepocht...
so possible upgrades:
3LP Dragonsong : t7 +10% critical strike chance slammed, you can have in the other affixes blind chance ( so u dont have to take the acid flask node) and fire damage or crit multiplier.
logi hunger ammy with 2LP and slam t7 throwing damage.
Elecoes Abandon with 3LP, besides t7 health and +2 acid flask, get fire resistance or flat HP or dodge or increased damage with dagger.
3LP rings (heirloom of the last nomad) with t7 throwing damage, t5 throwing attack speed in one of them, fire damage or dexterity in the other, third affix can be fire resistance / hp / dodge / endurance

Thanks for the new video. What items and skill configurations do you have in mind when using daggers and shields?

[@eliel77]

Skill the same setup, passives some slightly adjustment, and for items basically just trade weapon and off hand. We use exalted dagger with +4% crit chance implicit and increased dodge rating implicit, and cradle of the erased shield with T7 block chance . Maybe we need to invert body Armour, t5 health % and T7 +4 acid flask. Oh and trade dodge blessing for block chance

@@eliel77 Thanks for answering, I know it's a lot of work, but I'd love it if you could give a video of the dagger and shield type.

[@eliel77]

@@jero-ut5mu I'm might do one, but favor farm takes so long now, after nerfs in XP gain in higher corruption, and I'm spending all my prophecies trying to find body armour and unique & exalted bow /and unique quiver. I need to grind for some top tier exalted dagger and right now I can't afford it in CoF. In my day off maybe I play a little with shield and my current dagger 😁

Please tell me why fire resistance is necessary.

[@eliel77]

@@jin-rn7hg it increases dps (damage) drastically. There is a node in acid flask that is generally ignored by some streamers, it gives poison penetration per poison resistance. What the tooltip does not say is that when you convert acid flask to cold or fire, the penetration is also converted to it's respective damage/ resistance.

​@@eliel77Thank you for your kindness.

Wtf ​@@eliel77 IT CONVERTS ?!?!?!??!

[@eliel77]

@@matthewdeklerk3457 yep, its easy to test it, put points in the node and see how the dps increases (when you have lot of resistance of the type)

[@matthewdeklerk3457]

@@eliel77 yoooooooo that's crazy that must mean it converts for cold res shred on cold flask!!!! Big big big

Only 700 with a falconer? The broke ass ballista and dive bomb falconers wont let you sit at the same lunch table as them.

[@eliel77]

@@r3771-n2r Side note, 1.700, maybe over 2k if I invest. And I can see where you are coming from , but I'll give the benefit of doubt, these broken ass builds abuse one single thing, silver shroud, and honestly it's cheap. They don't need to build defense layers.

[@r3771-n2r]

@@eliel77 They also abuse broke DPS. Seriously, go tits to the wall on a Druid build and maybe you can get 10% Falconers dps AND you will have to spend most of your time as a human to do it.

[@eliel77]

@russelltimmerman3771 The way some people talk, make it looks like falconer is the culprit of outliers, when warlock and sorcerer are just as powerful in dps. I played as druid for hundreds of hours, and just left because the class was abandoned, left to dust compared to the newer classes. I know it. But I'm having fun anyway. The dps is not abuse, it's what the game offers you and it's not because bugs or unintended interactions. But infinite silver shroud is not intended, even if it's not bug yet, it overrides the game proposal.

[@r3771-n2r]

@@eliel77 not an outlier, I agree. There are other broken classes. but Falconer has more broken builds within it than any other class. You can't spit and not hit a 1000c build with the class. Dive bomb is broken, sliver shroud is broken, ballista is broken, and now it appears flask is broken. Where as if you get to 400c with a druid build that STAYS in the form you choose you are doing really well. IF you can get to 600c with a zoo necro (non wraith lord) you are doing well.
