CaptainLance9's Notes

********************************* Frozen Legion Basics ********************************* Cooldown based Attack?: Skill doesn't scale with attack speed, so utilization the heaviest hitting weapon even though it hits slow won't change damage output, hence we chose Marohi Erqi Cooldown basics: Skill charges 6 times with base rate of every .8 seconds, this means it will take 4.8 seconds to charge six times, this can be greatly improved with CDR in alternate quality/cdr belt/cdr on boots/ Enchant I opted to use is +2 clones for highlight reel, bigger one shot potential, but cooldown rate will be better dps wise. ********************************* Leveling ********************************* I leveled with Vaal volcanic fissure, make sure to upgrade weapon every act, was a lot of fun, eventually swapped into Fissure + frozen legion as 2 main skills until marohi at which point I swapped to cyclone+shockwave & Frozen Legion. On Swapping to to marohi, if you don't have accuracy you may want to temporarilly use a hinekoras sight to fix accuracy until you get actual crafted rare gear.(only temporary solution) ********************************* Mandatory items/Budget to get started ********************************* I would not play this build without marohi erqi and couple divines in rare gear. My current investment is around 15-20 divines(marohi cost me 3) and the character has been able to do all content up to the feared. I have not attempted ubers on this build, I believe it could do some of them but would struggle on exarch/eater and would optimally need more investment to take on these fights. Ultimately I am excited to play more characters and thus will be planning to do so. **************************** Flask Setup ************************************ Use when full enchant -> found in epilogue beach zone after kitava Gain on hit prefix + useful suffixs (reduced curse effect / movespeed / %armour / crit chance ect) Recommended Flasks: Diamond / Granite / Quicksilve / Life Flask 5th flask optional based on your own taste, I opted for gold flask because yay more loot **************************** Gem Links ************************************ Check PoB gem link setup, only thing I would maybe consider changing myself is swapping in immortal call, to proc 15% more damage from chieftain while also having something to press in panic to survive hard hits. ********************************* Gearing ********************************* ~Marohi Erqi is a Must ~Accuracy on 3 pieces of gear (400+) fractured accuracy rings + essences great way to get this ~res on gear to cap chaos/fire/cold/lightning. No fire res on gear neaded(we way overcap because chieftain alone) Body armour Craft: ~Buy 6L astral ilvl 82+ ~redeemer slam it ~alt spam for frenzy on hit ~awakener orb this with t1 hunter attack crit ~ get open prefix and full suffix ~open suffix -> farric lynx alpha ~6 mod full -> risk anul OR maven orb if extra influence mods have been added(if remove crit or frenzy, sell and start over) ~suffixes can't be changed -> reforge caster(guarantee +1 curse) ~benchcraft life + slam if extra open affix Other gear rares: buy good fracture -> spam essence of envy for chaos res or scorn for multi until decent item ********************************* Misc ********************************* Bandits: Help Alira Major Pantheon: Brine King -> chill reduction + freeze immune Minor Pantheon: Garuhkan shock reduction + blind immune Ascendancy Order: Valako -> ngamahu -> tasolio -> Hinekora Map Mods to AVOID: Ele reflect / no regen / less recovery. SSF Viable?: not really, finding marohi ssf very unlikely.
