ONCE HUMAN - NEW INFINITE FROST VORTEX BUILD!!! (ICY RAIN)

[@cosmicxchaos]

For the Icy Rain weapon mod, the healing mod is seriously clutch.

[@Glitchiz]

@@cosmicxchaos yeah u lose a nice chunk of damage but that survivability can def help allot

[@cosmicxchaos]

@@Glitchiz I found the damage loss really isn't that bad compared to the heals you gain. Probably 10% at most since with high crit rate vortex seems to get overridden by new procs which constantly happen. At least that's what it seemed like on dummy testing. The gain in heals was far more impactful than the damage from not running it. Imho.

[@Elristan]

@@cosmicxchaos the main problem then becomes armor durability ! But yeah can facetank anything in LEA... Until the armor breaks.

[@CostelloDamian]

@@Glitchiz only 4% from vulnerability doesn't seem like much though? Or is there some hidden mechanic causing you to lose more?

[@Glitchiz]

@@CostelloDamian if u put on vulnerability amplifier mod on crossbow it becomes 16% bonus dmg with bullseye not 8, plus the xbow gives u an additional 30% bonus crit rate on enemies that are marked as well for 10 seconds so it becomes a nice little dmg burst that helps feed ur crits for frost vortex.

[@Gomorragh]

5:15 for this build crit rate would be the highest of priorities just for getting that reload off, and status damage bonus for the frost vortex damage

[@Glitchiz]

crit rate is highest priority until a certain point once u get high enough to start hitting enough frost procs u dont need any more after that from there id focus on crit dmg, or status dmg after that

[@zackmyers9673]

personally, i went the other direction. 3 lonewolf and 2 falcon. 53% crit rate. i can hit 24k dps completely unbuffed, no deviant, no bullseye...

[@Rooachie]

Went 4p lonewolf, frost vest and 1p bastille. I can do 35k unbuffed. Crit is defo the way to go for vector. Ele is bait and only for the AK

glad i didn't stray too far. one thing i did add was the heal mod when triggering vortex. i basically get infinite ammo and heals as long as there are no one hit kills coming out. i got distracted and got killed by thirst boss.

[@JovianTV1]

Can you explain why you went with so much Crit DMG as opposed to RATE? I'm in the middle of building this build and if RATE procs the vortex, shouldn't I be putting Talent Mods on instead of Violent?

[@Glitchiz]

you can do either or. depends on how high your status dmg is on all your other mods. you wanna focus on either 1 or the other. because it unlimited ammo u crit allot anyways so having more dmg from your dits is always nice the frost vortexs will always spawn either way. totally up to you and your play style.

[@brettmurphy2917]

Nice build. If you are running a mod that means you can't hit weakspots does that not disable the cradle perk you've picked for hitting weakspots though

[@Glitchiz]

@@brettmurphy2917 u can still “hit” weak spots it just won’t give weak spot dmg ;)

[@johnengels8017]

you took 2 cradles that work on or increase weakspot damage but you took the mod that says no weakspot damage. So that mod is preventing you from getting the bonus from the 2 cradles i would think.

[@GlobalAspect1]

Nice build, cant wait for more seasons and opening up more blueprints so we can have a lot of flexibility depending on what we go up against.

I started with Corrosion and still really REALLY enjoy it. I managed to get a resting crit dmg bonus of 140% without buffs so it hits like a truck before I get my stacking +200%ish extra crit dmg. I picked up the Outer space to keep my build on theme and use it as my side piece when I need to outrange or get better accuracy than the shotgun. I've somehow managed to get icy Rain to 3 stars and maxed out the Fire master Wish card so have 3 pcs of shelterer at 2 stars before I've even pulled the blueprints yet. With the starred up key item chest I think I'll be looking quite happy with the icy rain as I'm already packing a LOT of crit.

@@zipnn I have 1 mod with vortex dmg the rest is all crit dmg… so not sure what ur talkin about lol if I get a better mod with crit instead of vortex I’ll be switching it lol maxing crit dmg is def better for this particular build

[@zipnn]

​@@Glitchiz You are running full shelter. You are also using some armor mods that gives vortex damage. You using jellyfish deviation. My understanding of icy rain is basicly just ignore vortex and just use that mechanic as a "free unlimited ammo". I am pretty sure building it like that should net you same peak dps without even using a deviation. Its a unlimited shoot build/no reload build, whatever "max damage" you are doing, is not really important cause if you wanted to you could have it say 160million, it will just take you some time, the DPS is the important part though, and 50k dps with a deviation out is a little bit low(can still do any content in the game). It looks to me that you are progressing towards abyss glance, were you actually want shelter etc. I just think its bad to not mention that and then you advice shelter as the set to use for icy rain. When lonewolf and small changes in mods could prolly double your damage.

[@Glitchiz]

@@zipnn I don’t main frost vortex. All I know is I have a full set of lone wolf and a full set of shelter and regardless of the mod combos I tried with what I had icy ran did more dmg every time with the shelter set equipped over the lone wolf set I tried both. Now that being said if I had better mods that focused specifically on crit dmg etc the. Yeah I’m sure I could make the lone wolf set do more.

my ultimate beginners guide is already out for the first 15 lvls pretty much. as for every level after that simply focus on the main story quests and make sure u do your weekly commissions. those commissions alone will grant u 3-4 levels early on easy every week. plus a bunch of useful resources.

If you want to go full degen mode you just set your base up near the ocean and near trees, chop a bunch if trees and gather a ton of sea water, then fill all the stoves you can make with salt, takes 41 minutes to craft all 5 queued items, so now you go do content for 40 minutes then you return and refill them, rinse and repeat.
