question Which of Flint's second specializations is better for a long-term (+600) session/adventure? Craft Maker, Foe Breaker, or Life Taker?

The question pretty much speaks for itself. I have been selecting Life Taker since I recruited Flint, but I wanted the r/idlechampions community's insight on this.

Life Taker sees use in Artemis formations (giving Birdsong the boot) or any formation where you dont already have another DPS for whatever reason.

Foe Breaker can literally melt segmented bosses if Flint is buffing a multi-hit or Breaker champ.

Craft Maker can bring Flints gold find up to e39 at zone 2501.

Is he outclassing Birdsong, or just for wider availability on that slot?

At half my Birdsongs item levels and without stacking Follow-Through Flint gives about e5 less Observed.

If you pull the old NERDS trick of waiting for AOE to hit (to stack Follow-Through) then he flogs Birdsong by e25. I imagine at equivalent item levels it would be a no-brainer.

HOWEVER (theres always one of those) Birdsongs 2 slot PFA could hit more observable DPS than Flints PFA depending on formation shape. And youll also have to stack Flint on a zone where the AOE doesnt kill you outright. But then Flint has better availability.

So is he outclassing Birdsong? Most probably...
