    I know this is like months late but the build is still viable in PvE. Maybe not the best, but you should play what you enjoy. As for the equation used to calculate the "required crit chance," you can actually break it down even more. We know that the gun is filled up by 15% of max ammo whenever frost vortex is triggered (rounded down). So it ultimately equates to...
    Bullets Refilled (round down) = 0.15 * Magazine Size
    Req. Crit Rate Percentage = 1 / Bullets Refilled / 0.40 * 100
    Just to make it easier to figure out without having to shoot a bunch and keep track of the bullets

    This game feeds you so much damage, and boss hp pools arent giga huge, so ive just been having fun with icy rain x covert walker shirt to just collect everyone up and nuke lol.

    In the crit rate requirement section what does the 1 that we divide by the bullets reloaded per trigger represent? Is it that we need 1 Frost Nova Trigger within that 6 bullets and then we divide by the chance for a crit to trigger a nova? Trying to make sure I understand the math. Your videos are super helpful. This is honestly the best for someone trying to learn how to construct their own builds.

      I wonder if its better to go For the element dmg.
      And running 3 lone and 2 savior. +6.
      And running Icy raing 4 stars and +10. With Legendary Assault Style + 2x crit rate.
      I understand that the additional stats on the mods make a difference. But between 28k and 90k is a huge difference which indeed makes this build a bit suspicious. I wish it didnt tho ..

  • @MrArthoz
    @MrArthoz 5 місяців тому +3

    I'm thinking very seriously the option to change over to Unstable Bomber because the damage is defined as "instant" unlike vortex that is "continuous".
    Been having issues with lag and often when the server doesn't register the vortex trigger I have to constantly reloading. Unless they fix this issue, there will be time that the damage will be registered after the target is dead and wasted a clip of ammo and the weapon left empty.
    The build theory is sound and often when the game runs smoothly I had lots of fun but once in a while there'll be stutters here and there. My brother have similar issue with power surge build too. It's not the problem the build itself, it is the problem with this game optimization and how they translate the damage data.
    I also had an awful bug during prime wars where the trigger button seemed to lock and the gun won't stop shooting. Had to swap to sidearm and swap back when I need to shoot.

    • @Drake_Grazer
      @Drake_Grazer 5 місяців тому +2

      Unfortunately the lag issue is still persistent.
      It seems that DoT effects like Frost Vortex and Burn cause massive lag spikes in multiplayer events like Prime War here in my server.
      I'm actually forced to transition to a Shrapnel build as a result.
      Really hope devs can fix that soon, especially with the new season around the corner.

      Secondary weapon use backfire. You proc frost vortex with icy rain, then swap to the shotgun and freeze the enemy. Then for your mods, for mask, go w either of the frost vortex mod, probably preferably lingering frost if paired w backfire. Then for the rest of the mods go with whatever that was included in my guide :)

    Nice build! never saw a frost vortex reaching 100k! , subscribed from my heart!
    A few questions,
    Because I never saw an Icy rain channel with Deviation expert before!
    1. Hat: Devitation expert vs fateful strike, I have a hardtime choosing, my no buff only my DPS, is around 40-45k between those two, but I'm just purely asking why deviation expert? because you have enough crits (42% as you mentioned) to proc frost vortex unlimitedly? Also maybe because you get 10% fire rate for deviation expert?
    1.1 To add on, so if you're maintaining around 42% crit
    what are the substats or stats to priortize?
    Status Damage
    Element
    Cri damage
    in which order?
    Thank you in advance!
    I'm a fan, is there any Q&A with you in discord or something?

    • @mawn7976
      @mawn7976  5 місяців тому

      Usually the question between 2 mods often comes down to how good are the substats on each mods. Deviation expert because of simply being better than fateful strike (assuming u hit enemies’ weakspots). The really, really simple explanation is running deviation expert causes you to lose 45% weakspot dmg bonus originating from the gun, which is a massive loss. However if you don’t hit weakspots, maybe fateful strike could perform better. For the substats priority, Like I said in the video, look for crit dmg, then elemental dmg, then status. Reason being most of your damage will be coming from ur normal bullets and not frost vortex. Then ele > status because ele rolls higher per substat roll. Sure, I can answer some questions on discord. What’s ur discord?

    Yall just make boring builds that min max dps using the same gameplay mechanics... You do not need max dps in this game in any mode to succeed, you need survivability/AoC with fun builds. If face rolling max dps is fun for you, so be it.
