Someone did a GR 136 With FO

Someone did a GR 136 with FO Setup. It’s different then what I have suggested https://www.d3planner.com/457865671 or on this Wizard Topics. He used a different setup. That gives more needed toughness to keep up Squirt stacks. Grats to JayJay GR 136 clear. https://www.d3planner.com/351046417 That’s the setup he used.

So yes FO with season theme is as strong as Chantodo Vyz. So I’m quite happy.

Nice!

Yeah, I wondered if someone would try this. Napkin math said it should be quite strong, it’s just a wonky playstyle.

Very impressive. Anyone know the non-season ceiling for FO? I’ve only used it for speeds, switching from TR to LoD because TR was too squishy.

Not a lot of people pushing it anymore, but if I recall someone did something in the 120s with DMO FO? Let’s see what I can find.

2017-2 NA NS Era Rank 3 clear: GR118 with DMO FO w/ OoID. That would have been patch 2.6.1, so 3800% DMO bonus. Delsere’s was buffed to 8500% in 2.6.4, so you can add like another 5 GRs to that clear.

2018-1 NA NS Era rank 2 clear: GR125 with DMO FO w/ AW. I think that’s still a 2.6.1 clear too, so potential should still be another +5 GRs? No video for this one unfortunately.

Also S16 GR125 with Vyr’s Frozen Orb. Although that was with seasonal RoRG buff. Not totally sure what he leveraged the RoRG buff to grab. He’s wearing Swami + Fazula’s, but he doesn’t show the cube. You’d probably be trading out whatever he had in the cube armor slot I think, and just moving Swami there so you could drop RoRG and still keep CoE + Karini. Although then you lose some APoC when you drop Swami, so that might not be ideal. Alternative is dropping CoE for RoRG though, which just seems worse.

Anyway, I’d say GR125-GR130 seems like a pretty reasonable estimate for non-season with the current patch.

Curious about potential of DMO FO LoD FO vs. with Squirt’s now too. Those clears were all pre-Squirt’s. Squirt’s wasn’t changed until 2.6.6 I think. Previous to that, it was tough to beat the multiplier of DMO + Endless Walk + CoE + Karini. You could do LoD FO for farming, but all serious FO push builds were DMO (or Vyr’s). LoD build just couldn’t match the DMO + jewelry multiplier. But now you could do LoD + Squirt’s + CoE + Karini. Albeit at the cost of a leg gem. Difference between DMO FO and LoD FO should be a lot smaller for pushes now.

LooLoo cubed leoric’s. He says you’d need gogok without that seasonal theme.

Ah right. Thanks. Knew I was forgetting something obvious there.

So say an extra 50-60% damage from the extra DPS gem with the S16 build. So maybe 3 GRs lost without the RoRG buff.
