Unlimited smoke grenade, caltrop and freeze?

With the aspect that converts all grenade skills to trap skills, has anyone tried smoke grenade, caltrop + stun grenade, exposure and frost bitten?

Just theory crafting, I reckon it is possible to have infinite daze, stun and freeze.

I am trying to gather equipment but not having much luck with crit chance. I’m thinking:

Puncture
Rapid fire
Concealment
Caltrop
Smoke grenade
Ice imbuement

Works for smoke grenade but any other grenade isnt a skill so won’t be counted as a trap.

There is a heart that drops stun grenade often.

Caltrop has an aspect that stops stun grenades.

Exposure itself also drops stun grenades when triggered :slight_smile:

Its not infinite but its the best Rogue build in the game.

They do. There is even more interactions that work with it.

Further updates.

I tested a little bit with what I have. With exposure, caltrop is always off cool-down.

Smoke grenade, for some reason, is not benefiting from exposure. It’s only really benefiting from the second upgrade that allows CDR.

Smoke grenade also doesn’t seem to proc frost bitten all that much, if at all.

All in all, it’s a little clunky, and I feel that I am better off sticking to TB and stun grenades.

I played this build with pen shot +rapid fire in off season and build it again in season 1 at around level 60 when my crit chance is nearly 40%.
With the aspect that spreads CC, it works really good with pen shot and can freeze the whole screen with 1 shot. But you need the calltrops for the chill effect. The cold imbument isn’t enough to play with the stun grenades from the heart.
Maybe, it could work with penitent greaves as TB/flurry roque. But I dont like TB so I wouldn’t test it.
Even the imbument heart isnt good enough to spread chilliness effect.

Thank you for your input.

How do you trigger the first freeze? Caltrop, stun grenades, then pen shot to spread?

With the second aspect for the calltrops (don’t know the name). When casting calltrops they drop 5 stun grenades.
So, when using calltrops, everything is instant freezed if your crit chance is about 30% and then spread with pen shot.

Noxious ice and puncture aspect can speed up the freezing process under the effects of caltrops. Using stun grenade caltrops aspect results in a overall dps loss. Furthermore it keeps poison damage up for debilitating toxins and lucky hit procs.

Don’t think so. The calltrops freezes immediately, what gives you over 40% more dmg to frozen enemy’s. Plus, the calltrops does up to 100k dmg. ( I’m level 85, so paragon and glyphes are not maxed out)

I agree I have played with and without caltrops Grenade aspect and the aspect helps so much with insta freeze. It isn’t a DPS loss when enemies are frozen instantly…

Poison puncture and noxious ice is a great idea too, caltrops is best for freezing, cold imbue is best for dealing massive damage to frozen.

Can’t freeze unstoppables and bosses so don’t put all your points in one basket. Trust me I tested the stun grenade aspects and they’re not worth it when you have to give up a multiplicative damage aspect for a stun grenade.
