- Day 1 Cycle 2 Update : • 58 Cold Acid Flask Fal...
Cycle 2 of LE starts on July 9th and we're going CAF falconer again with a number of buffs and nerfs impacting the cycle 1 builds. Basically, whilst low life is still possible, it's not as strong as before as ward has been nerfed from 2 sources: the Aerial Assault ward stack node and Frostbite Shackles. Life is the play and we'll probably have higher dps. Previously, i'd pushed this build to 10xx corruption before switching to the low life build, as you can see it has no issues handling 2k+ with only 2k life. However, the dusk shroud bug fix may gut our survivability, I won't lie. Perhaps 100% GB and stacking dodge is enough. TBA. FYI I will be starting merchant guild to hopefully snag 4 LPs cheap early again.

For a boss fight @ 7xx cold res see 8:51
You could get 15k+ ward stacked easily which was op with the amount of dodge you got off dusk shroud. Probs can only get 8-10k max now.

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.

❗️Flat health blessing shown in vid should be Rahyeh (gives you double life leech with Bleeding Heart) as per life planners.
⬆️ Level up as poison flask until you get Vial. Same setup but run a 2nd wep or shield. A shield like Cradle of the Erased will make you immortal in the campaign.

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.

Written guide (for the low life build mostly but a lot of the info applies to the life version): www.lastepochtools.com/build-guides/low-life-cold-acid-flask-falconer
⬆️ Level up as poison flask + cinder strike burning dagger route with a bow/quiver until you get Vial. DONT USE THE STARTER FILTER RIGHT AWAY. DROP YELLOW GEAR FIRST. Same setup but run a 2nd wep or shield. A shield like Cradle of the Erased will make you immortal in the campaign. At 20 pickup falconry, rush the left acid flask nodes and you'll fly through the campaign. At 35 you can slot in trap if your mana pool is high, crystal wand + strong mind unique amulet for example, or just continue using cinder strike/manual flask spam to recharge the falcon. Around 55-60 you should be able to use trap comfortably with x2 -3 throwing cost red rings.
ATB in cycle 2 and go merchant guild ;)
Do you have a good loot filter for leveling / endgame?

Will be using those Dave, copy and paste the code ingame and save!
@@Jusedofus Thanks
Good stuff! I'm kinda curious how survivability will be when dusk shrouds are way lower. I hope you will showcase it again in 1.1 :)
We’ll find a make to make it work!
Briefly tried this build last cycle, was very effective. Surprised this is under the radar- perhaps with the unknowns about how much the survivability.
True, not even on maxrolls tier list yet, probably put it in A. Survivability was broken lol, you could push to 10k corruption with any trap build as you’d just dodge everything. Dusk shroud stacks will be missed
yeah i wanna go cold acid again aswell but im super worried on the shroud bug fix for pushing high corruption , not sure if capping gb and dodge will be enough .. nice showcase btw !
^^
would you recommend this for cycle starter? any tips or leveling pointers for cyclestart if so?
100% it’s fast paced, active and fun and you’ll breeze through the campaign but mana hungry early until throwing cost red rings are in. Even the lower tier ones make a huge difference. Main tip is run a crystal wand for the mana implicit and work on getting the uniques off market if merchant guild and the rings first.
try to leveling with flask, but early game suck xD out of mana always, any tips? i think puncture bow will be better 1-35|40?
Lols, try direct cast poison acid flask without the pool node that puts it on cd. Once you get a crystal wand and 1-2 rings with cost reduction then you could swap to explosive trap
The most important part of the build is 2 throwing cost reduction rolls on the rings. Get it off market with any stat, cheapest you can find.
Once those are in you will take off, I struggled last cycle too without em. It’s so much easier if you go merchant guild too.
@@Jusedofus yes i know, but now the cycle begins and you run the campaign, it will hurt without these rings, and you will buy them only at the end
@@maxbr4012 You can get the lower tier ones on day 1
Is this good for HC starter?
Nah doubt it
How would you level this and when would you swap to cold?
Good question. As poison flask with trap, same skill trees and swap to cold when you get vial. If you’re going merchant guild, should be able to just buy a 0 lp one on day 1 extremely cheap.
Elemental DoT and DoT will apply to both so prio finding gear with that over cold damage first
Run a 2nd wep or shield. A shield like cradle of the erased will make you immortal in campaign. Used it last cycle, it’s a banger if you get one early
@@Jusedofus would you do hit based or dot based for leveling? do you have a possible level 50ish planner?
@@ZackfmusicDoT, don’t got a levelling planner but if you follow the base life build trees it’ll work the same with poison flask until you get vial:

with season 2 reality how far in corruption we able to go with this setup how u think?
Provided we find a new way to get high dodge and stay alive, probably around 2k corruption. Will have to see how the frostbite base damage buff plays out vs the snowdrift cold pen nerf. Damage shouldn’t be an issue pushing past 2k imo.
Not sure how many dusk shrouds we’ll see until the build is setup. People are saying only 5-10 when we currently get over 90 lol. Don’t take their word for it until we know for sure. We can always change gear around like use a dodge belt. As we’ll have over 3k armor easily, capped glancing blows, additional endurance threshold, some block % and damage red while moving we’ll be innately tanky and should be able to facetank up to 1k corruption easily with the build to get started, without even needing dusk shroud - that was what made it push to and beyond 2k last cycle, I could’ve kept going but burnt out lol.
@@Jusedofus thx for answer , ill start with this build and wonder to see how it will work out.
@@yaroslavjina1660nice! If it’s ur first time playing it you’re gonna have a blast
@@Jusedofus ah forgot to ask with what skill we are leveling till fire trap , acid flask?
Sad state of rogue. Cold acid flask falconer...expectation: oh we are about to use a skill called acid flask, cool. Reality: throw explosive trap all day again. Those devs are clueless.
:/
They literally killed every viable build in the game lol.
