Canister Bomb only has support from two sets: Barrelsmith and Ulzuin’s Demolitionist set. I’m looking for equipment that gives points to Canister Bomb and doesn’t convert everything into Fire, and I’m really not finding it. Despite there being a caster gun specifically designed for Cold Canister Bomb, there’s as much support for it as there is for ACID Canister Bomb. It’s like everyone collectively forgot that Thermite Mines gives Cold RR as well as the others.
Here are the items that currently exist for Canister Bomb that don’t make it a Fire variant:
Chosen Spaulders is one of the very few items that gives points to Canister Bomb. It has Piercing to Elemental conversion, and there’s not nearly enough flat Pierce out there to justify breaking it down into three elements (it also clashes heavily with the numerous Pierce to Fire conversions out there). The other two skills it supports? Rune of Kalastor and Blade Arc. Because we totally want to combine casting bombs and attack-speed scaling Soldier skill.
I wasn’t kidding about the Acid thing. I honestly want to try a RE / Canister Defiler now that Necro has proper Acid RR.
The weapon I was trying to build around. The test patch has to be released before the “caster gun” revamp is implemented in Grimtools.
The only jewelry that gives bonuses to Canister Bomb.
There is ONE item in the game that gives bonuses to Improved Casing that doesn’t have Fire bonuses.
Relics? Demolitionist has 3 Fire Relics, and they individually combine with Physical, Lightning, or Chaos. Zero Cold / Elemental relics. Ulzuin’s Chosen? Mythical Mark of Divinity is the only item that gives bonuses to that.
All skills to Demolitionist? Zero off-hands, 1 good belt, 1-2 amulets that aren’t Fire Strike related, and the rest are either tailored to specific sets or they’re melee weapons that can’t be combined with a caster gun. When there are zero good MI’s that give Canister Bomb bonuses without funneling them into Fire, there is a big problem.
