Hey all,

I was looking into some options for MF in SSF after dropping a Windripper (and having all the other gear as well). However, when looking, it seemed with ripper builds aren't that popular at the minute and I'd assume AN mods have played a part in that but I was still keen to try some MF anyway.

Instead, it looks like CF is quite popular and I was wondering about bleed pops. It seems quite a few builds have CF linked with Item Rarity but I was wondering on the interaction with the bleed explosions. If a mob is taken out by another mob exploding, does it could as being 'hit' and therefore have a stack of CF before dying (in turn benefitting from the linked Item Rarity)? Or is it simply wasted on all mobs that are killed when something nearby explodes.

Hope this makes sense and thanks in advance!

While thats true, its not quite what I was asking. My fault though as it wasnt worded very well!

Glad will be causing everything to bleed anyway with minimal investment so its not so much about what is causing the initial explostion. My question relates to what happens after that.

A better way to ask might basically just be whether the bleed explosion applies a stack of CF to other mobs before they die as it counts as a hit. If they do, great as they will have the stack and therefore get the item rarity buff when they die. If they die immediatley without a stack however, then Item rarity on CF is pretty pointless with the exception of mobs that only die to the dot part of CF (bot an explosion from nearby)

If they do, great as they will have the stack and therefore get the item rarity buff when they die.

No, that only means they benefit from that IR bonus if they die from the corrupted blood. If they die from the explosion damage, then that's what killed them, and the IRR support does nothing, regardless of whether they have Corrupted Blood on them from Corrupting Fever (I don't think they would from a single hit, but I can't be bothered checking since the answer doesn't actually matter).
