[novel rampart]

Am I able to get my chat box refreshed for the servershare channel, I tried posting something in there, stated something wasnt allowed, tried to post again but I have to wait 6 hours for that ?

[thorn bane]

how do you restore ward outside of being low hp? you are missing the gloves

[fickle plinth]

Hello guys anyone knows how to fix last epoch tools? i cant access the site

[dusk root]

potion but that build everyone does it that way i guess

[thorn bane]

yea i mean its a good starting point, but alot of work can still be done. get that strength up for more int/ward ret. get the gloves with experimental hp to ward.

[steep river]

maybe contact @grand geyser i don't believe i have access to that. i don't see you set to a timeout on discord in the basic mod stuff i have access to

[thorn bane]

can also slam more T7 HP% to get more ward

bigger hp pool, bigger ward

[dusk root]

yeah i gotta put lp on rest of my gear i wll do that

but i need to unlock that one map

int to str

[novel rampart]

I guess the only way would be to remove the timed chat, ill give mod mail a shot ty

[dusk root]

for chest and helmet

[thorn bane]

oh also a big one is missing the +4 abomination on relic slam

[dusk root]

isn't that for dmg my problem is more dying my dmg is fine for now

[thorn bane]

kill faster, less enemies to hit you 5hed

[quick snow]

abom can't kill fast lol

[dusk root]

true but whenever i die its sort of a mob b4 my golem gets there and like split second. its usually insta

out of nowhere

but usually by the crazy phased dinos

or weaver bosses

[thorn bane]

yea i mean you arent meant to tank everything, especially on a minion build. you have time to move

[dusk root]

not those deaths tbh they beast popped out and shot a lazer of its mouth instantly

but yeah usually its fine

other than those 2 mobs

phased beast and weaver bossses

i'm going to try to copy the gear from the top ladder necros soon, i should have the gold for lp1 of all that now

What spec can just face tank everything, Judgement Paladin?

[thorn bane]

easily yea

[dusk root]

i should play that instead 😄

but i love the lazyness of this build

i'm too lazy tho, gotta get all my gear lp1 at least and stop dragging on

[strange osprey]

is the Pinnacle of Chaos a joke? Just put in a gazillion of Champions with 10x the dmg and life. ?????

[midnight cave]

trying to craft experimental affixes and it just gets stuck on this screen, anyone know a way to fix it? https://gyazo.com/9d5421fbfab79628714729d86de94426

really annoying

[turbid silo]

Provided the insight to the internal chatter

[strange osprey]

What a joke this fight

[novel rampart]

I have a question,

I attempted to create a clan thread, but got denied by saying it contains content that isn't allowed on the server, I tried to post again but I have the 6HR wait is there a way to remove it so I can attempt to post my advertisement again.

[turbid silo]

Where did you try to post it?

[novel rampart]

[turbid silo]

Reading the message, one sec

[novel rampart]

👍

[left flint]

has anyone tried the bee queen yet? any one know how if it plays well?

[grizzled siren]

there really ought to be a seperate category for woven echos like Fading Brink. Something to let you know you can't clear it unless you go down 200+ corruption

[lapis orchid]

Please fix the bug that when you switch characters it just keeps the loading screen overlayed on your display so you have to force quit the game, thank you

[foggy vale]

Where in the heck do I find movement speed in the character screen?

nvm I'm a blind noob

[novel rampart]

might be because I mispelled discord

just noticed that

[proper scarab]

how do i get empowered echos now?

[undone wave]

@turbid silo What's going on with iceblink? It was removed from the known issues list, but not mentioned in the patch notes. Is it fixed or not?

[smoky falcon]

I believe the iceblink issue you are referring to was fixed with 1.4.1 on friday.

This issue?
"a bug where Iceblink was only granting one recast with a two handed weapon, and was not granting any recasts if you had any points allocated in Whiteout"

Looking through the patch notes I don't see mention of it (probably my fault as I do the initial pull and then folks come in and edit/make them actually presentable) but for sure the commit that fixed it is on the release branch and the tracking issue is tagged as having gone out with 1.4.1 internally.

[undone wave]

Does that mean iceblink works with whiteout now, for potentially four recasts?

[granite kindle]

BRUH corruption just deleted all my stats lmaoooo

[smoky falcon]

As far as I can tell looking through internal documentation, yeah. Could be there's some context somewhere that I'm missing but the fix for it went out with 1.4.1.

[solid hatch]

when sorting in this game will work?

[granite kindle]

it owrks tho

[solid hatch]

show me how

[granite kindle]

theres like on the inventory theres a sort button

[solid hatch]

xdd

cool and it doesnt work

never worked

it never put the same items next to each other

it only randomly arranges items so they can fit

its terrible in stash

5 minutes of vibe coding would fix it

[tough frost]

why is leveling outweighing my ability to respec my character... this is so annoying lmao. literlly cannot get enough gold to respec because i keep leveling before getting the amount

[solid hatch]

thats the craziest issue ive ever heard, are you playing the same game?

last epoch

[granite kindle]

ah you mean that . yea it just does that kew

[solid hatch]

yep

[tough frost]

yep. at lvl 74, i tried to respec. didn't have enoguh gold (210k i think?) because i bought some items not thinkign it was that expensive to respec. Since then, I've leveled to 77 currently and now I need 310k gold to respec. I only have 270k from those 3 levels

and it just keeps getting more and more to the point where my gold isn't catching up lmao

[hard basalt]

did we ever fix the devouring orb not applying debuffs on subsequent hits? never found it on patch notes

[solid hatch]

your problem is that you are trying to respec whole skill tree, dont do that, respec manually single nodes, its cheap. I doubt you often want to respec entire tree....

[novel locust]

Storm Crows or Lightning Blast?

[tough frost]

dont u have to respec the whole tree to respec mastery?

[solid hatch]

so now you wanna respec mastery? this i dont know, if you click there to respec mastery what does it say?

[tough frost]

i've been wanting to respec mastery lol.

there's an option for mastery respec, and it's 310k gold at my level

it'll probably be 350k by lvl 78, which ill probably get before I can get enough gold to respec

and there's no way of de-leveling (like dying) because no xp penalty lol

[solid hatch]

try first to respec all nodes manually and see if its cheaper and how much it asks gold for mastery then

[tough frost]

i want to check that, but i would brick my whole char if it didnt work

[solid hatch]

no, why

respec pasive nodes gives you points back, you can assign them again

[tough frost]

yes, but it costs gold to respec so it'd take even more to save up if it didnt work 😭

[solid hatch]

why dont you sell items to mechants

milions ways to make gold in this game

weaver tree, anything

[tough frost]

5-25 gold for an item kinda negligible, but i could try that

[solid hatch]

at 70+ items are at least a few hunders gold

idk whats your issue lol

[tough frost]

was gonna send an image, but nvm can't

4 gold on lots of items 70+

[storm grail]

https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/s/9UtrOuD5w7

I found one guy with the same problem as mine but nobody found a fix

[tough frost]

but yes, there are a few that are 125+ so ill try that out

[solid hatch]

exalted items must be more worthy to sell for sure

[tough frost]

surprisingly a lot only worht like 5 gold

whic h i find wierd LOL

but i have found a few that are like 300g!

so thanks for that

[solid hatch]

are you exping at 70lvl in keepers camp?

[tough frost]

sorry idk what that means

[solid hatch]

starting location in game...

70lvl should do already 100monoliths and its impossible to not have money for respec unless some crazy casual playing in the way that is not intented in this game...

good luck

[tough frost]

i was just doing age of winter

first time doing the 90 timelines on this char

[tough frost]

as i said, i bought items not thinking respec was that much

i spent like 200k from buying items

i didn't think a respec would be 300k lol

[solid hatch]

you playing merchants?

[tough frost]

ye

COF would get gold ez

[solid hatch]

lol then its ever easier than cof

just sell some random idol

[tough frost]

oh gotcha, i've never actually sold anything in this game because it's annoying af to find the right gold amount

only ever bought

[solid hatch]

like i said, crazy casual gameplay in the way that is not intended in this game....youre making your own problems

[tough frost]

Guess so. Trading in this game is so archaic that I mostly just avoid it

[solid hatch]

you have to sell if you want to play merchants

or switch to cof

yeah you definitely should play cof if prices are the issue too 😅

it works the same like in other games

[tough frost]

Don’t like SSF unfortunately so would rather just be able to get my items. The trading system is just bad in this game

But I’ll try to learn it a bit more

[solid hatch]

trading is good here

[tough frost]

It’s not lol

[solid hatch]

idk whats wrong with it

[tough frost]

Having to run to a vendor for a specific item, not having quick looks for items to check the pricing, etc.

I guess POE spoils you a bit with the ease of trading

[wary spear]

Can you put primordial/t8 affixes on legendary gear?

[solid hatch]

no

you cannot craft uniques or legendary

only exalts

[wary spear]

Isn't t8 exalted as well tho?

[solid hatch]

yes

[wary spear]

But you can't put it on gear in the lightless dungeon?

[solid hatch]

but you mean the rune that gives you t8 or julra

[wary spear]

Let's say i use the rune that makes t8, can I then go Julra or no?

[solid hatch]

ok, so temporal sanctum cant be use for t8

[wary spear]

Ahhh 😞

[astral slate]

Can someone give me a TP to Lightless Arbor?

[wary spear]

Thought so but makes sense

[solid hatch]

because t8 is sealed affix, cannot use any sealed affixes for julra

also remeber that corrupted items cannot be used for julra bases too

[wary spear]

Ohhhh that makes sense as well

[wary spear]

Oh shit good you say that lol

Man i wanna corrupt my 1lp razorfalls but "scared" to brick the item lol

[solid hatch]

put them in weaver tree, get some prophecies and you should have a few of them quickly

[analog estuary]

feature request time.. I need to move chat closer to the center of the screen, my neck is killin me lul

[sinful beacon]

whats the best way to lvl up the woven faction ranks?

[undone wave]

do all the weaver dungeons you find in your echoes

[scenic fog]

DQ8, a gamer of culture.

[carmine flame]

Hi guys,which r objectively better this season. Javadin or smitedin

[fiery niche]

is there a way to reroll values on a unique?

[analog estuary]

There is a woven echo. You can sacrifice the same unique with a matching LP

Or you can just corrupt and pray for max roll 🙂

[formal star]

How common is ruined outcome

[analog estuary]

Seems pretty uncommon.. I've corrupted loads of stuff and only have seen it twice

[hearty ferry]

5% chance for itens you dont want that much or dotn want at all and around 80% for itens you really can't get it bricked

[analog estuary]

^ real

[dusk root]

if silver shroud doesnt' stop dot dmg how do falconers do such insane corruption?

[analog estuary]

the time tested strategy of kill everything before it kills you

[orchid lantern]

Hey guys. Quick question: how would you go about farming your idol setup from omens the fastest? A specific woven echo or just keep sending omen timelines?

[scenic fog]

Join MG, liquify anything you don't use, buy your idols.

[sinful beacon]

pick up all omen points in woven tree

[tawny frost]

huh... can you spend timeglass fragments to buy Temporal Keystones as soon as you hit regular monos? does that allow you just.. insta-stability timelines on your first character? that's new right?

wow that sure does work

[simple jolt]

don't think elemental nova is proccing from frostclaw cast by meteor. indended?

[ancient surge]

Does the ele nova off of frost claw state for frost claws cast by you?

[simple jolt]

ah nevermind i changed the visual and can see it now

very low visibility with everything going off lol

[ancient surge]

I guess that works too.

Still trying hard to contain myself from commenting too much on what I sometimes see in the feedback channel. Worst to me is the notion of "I don't know why it works this way or what the intent was, but change it this way." I suppose many people are game designers in the making?

[grizzled siren]

Man, today's lesson: don't sleep on frailty. was getting rinsed by The Fading Brink. changed nothing but adding 25 frailty chance. Was able to not only one shot the echo, but was able to brawl with the harbingers whereas they were basically one tapping me before

[simple jolt]

yeah frailty is top, also don't sleep on chill

[ancient surge]

What with what frailty is, I'd say yes.

[novel locust]

What are yall playing? Enjoy this season but can’t find a build to commit to

[ancient surge]

Storm crows BM as I try to build up gear for bee BM.

[simple jolt]

meteor frosclaw elenova explosivo sorc

[grizzled siren]

added that too right after

[novel locust]

Is storm crows comfy or clunky?

[ancient surge]

uber can be affected by status ailments. Applying them can be tricky, but if you work with that, it's not impossible to stun lock him for a bit.

[novel locust]

I kinda wanna play it but every time I think about playing BM I end up dissuading myself from it lol

[ancient surge]

Minion AI is the caveat.

[simple jolt]

bm is a hard start for sure

[ancient surge]

The crows only hit a single thing at a time with their attacks, so you have to be mindful of swarms.

[novel locust]

I’ve been playing the shuriken/dancing strikes/blade storm build and it’s been good but feel like doing something else

[simple jolt]

do you use 3sec swipe and use the skill?

[novel locust]

Ah, yeah definitely think I want some good aoe with all these omens

[ancient surge]

Otherwise, closing in on 300 corruption with gear that is... decent and they one-shot most things once I rev up the gladiator stacks.

Surprisingly not a problem for me yet.

Judicious use of crow storm after clumping mobs works wonders.

[simple jolt]

what element did you go?

[ancient surge]

Pure lightning.

I.e. the base :p

[grizzled siren]

i kinda want to give profane oblation skele mages another go, but i'm not sure it'll survive being in the middle of the Omen blender

[novel locust]

Hmmm

[simple jolt]

omen blender is def a consideration now

[novel locust]

Idk, I really wanna invest in something

Idk where else to look besides MR though

I feel like it’s a lot of passive damage builds they have on there

[grizzled siren]

what class do you want to try? start there

[novel locust]

That’s a good question

It would be Beastmaster if it had AOE/not clunky

[ancient surge]

Strictly speaking, nothing survives one-shot damage and the higher you go into corruption, the more damage becomes one-shot. The player can dodge about, can stack evasion, which is arguably the only mechanic that can reduce one-shot frequency once all damage kind of murders you.
Minions... are not smart in that sense. And you have an extra button to press to try and get them out of that big AOE you're dodging.

[grizzled siren]

i was pleasantly surprised by cold sabrecat. i messed with it end of last season

[noble raven]

Man Riftbeast has been f me in the a for this whole evening

[grizzled siren]

for a mono-minion build, it clears shockingly well

[novel locust]

Hmmmm

[grizzled siren]

the flury swipes naturally has a lot of cleave

[novel locust]

That does sound kinda cool

[simple jolt]

aoe bm is the nova scorpion build

[ancient surge]

So, yes, minions are generally bad. I want to try the bees, since they are per 10 seconds and the set gives them 4 seconds of invulnerability. And I plotted a BM build for that, but the gear will be a chore to source, particularly without higher corruption.

[simple jolt]

it's massive aoe and clear

[novel locust]

Isn’t Swipe bugged rn?

[grizzled siren]

they fixed it

[undone wave]

ice bite does 7000 damage for some reason

[grizzled siren]

like today

[novel locust]

Oh nice

Maybe I just give BM a shot

Maybe

[simple jolt]

use 3sec swipe and proc scorpion nova over and over, you will melt most things instantly

[novel locust]

Gonna watch some sabertooth stuff

[noble raven]

This and It is so quick with the pattern, idk which one I choose but damn the 3 head from fire to ice to thunder

[grizzled siren]

didn't follow a guide when i did it. just grabbed 2x apogee. cold warcry totem, cold sabre cat, cold solo-wolf. go from there. it kinda falls together

[novel locust]

Honestly it sounds promising

[simple jolt]

there's that new 4squirl build too

[novel locust]

Bonus points for any BM build that’s good with the trex minion lol

[simple jolt]

apparently they are cracked out

[grizzled siren]

the phantom sabre cats were disapointing. they don't count as companions so all BM's companion-specific buffs don't work on them

that would be my caution

[novel locust]

And then Upheaval is like, minion-less BM right?

[novel locust]

I always like when I get them from a shrine

[simple jolt]

upheaval is more a totem build than a melee build

upheaval totems are pretty op though

[novel locust]

Frogs are the really busted BM, right?

[grizzled siren]

the bug that made them busted got fixed today

you can't have 4x the frogs you're supposed to have anymore 🤣

[novel locust]

lol

Choosing Frogs to be OP when I can have a TRex 😭

[simple jolt]

too bad neither have skill trees

i'd love to spec out a trex lol

is raptor pack dead? haven't heard anything about that this season

[grizzled siren]

the sword for it is insanely rare

biggest hurdle

[novel locust]

I asked Primalist chat and they told me it’s mid and feelsbad in omens

[grizzled siren]

i imagine most minions that aren't either disposable or immortal (abom) are gonna get mulched in omens

[novel locust]

I should look into this flame reave build too

Tbh I enjoy rifts the most moreso than omens

[ancient surge]

Omen windows are the perfection state of arpgs, though. A circle of many mobs. [/memes]

[novel locust]

Echo Chains in general are hype

I really like this season mechanically just gotta find my build

Sabertooth footage is hard to find lol

[simple jolt]

they nerfed the ancient sabers unfortunately

can't have as many

[novel locust]

I thought the ancient sabers weren’t great cause they don’t count as companions anyways

[grizzled siren]

that's what i discovered

i don't do guides. i just wing it

[simple jolt]

they were fine when you could have more

damage added up

just not anymore

[grizzled siren]

BM in general caught some strays from the nerfs aimed at EQ bear

notably shork aspect

but bleed looks untouched afaik

and was already strong

[novel locust]

I wish I was someone capable of living free enough to do this

Well I at least like a guide line

When I try to play free I stare at my screen a lot trying to make simple decisions lol

[grizzled siren]

respec are basically free. mess with the planner until something clicks, then tune it. that's 3/4 of the fun for me

i never did this in PoE

the number of regret orbs i'd need

[simple jolt]

this is def a theorycrafters game, less need of guides for sure

respeccing and experimenting is all part of the experience

[south marsh]

Good morning

[tired orchid]

anyone by chance have a rune prison echo that doesnt mind running me through it? i need a ladle so bad

[modern oxide]

is the storage cross characters?

[south marsh]

Depends on which option you chose in the creator

[novel locust]

I think I’m down to a few ideas to try tomorrow at least, Sabertooth, Javelin Pally, Flame Reave, or Lightning Blast

One of these 4 I think

[south marsh]

If you didn't select solo character found then yes the storage is shared

[south marsh]

I've been having a blast with a new spin on the skellie exploding necro

It's actually super fun

[novel locust]

Nice

I’ll look into it I never really lean into necro stuff

[simple jolt]

huh TIL focus isn't an inteligence skill

[south marsh]

You know that unq boot that converts AoD to fire right?

Well the extra function is that it has a chance to rebirth a zombie

So zombies also have a spawn on minion death node

[ancient surge]

Wake of ash or somesuch?

[grizzled siren]

even if you add the lightning waves to it?

[south marsh]

Combine and you get automatic zombie spawner 9000

[simple jolt]

i'll have to check

[south marsh]

Plus I took the rebirth skeleton nodes and passives so I basically just run a poe spec in LE

It's so fun I just zoom through the map

[novel locust]

Lmfao

I’ve seen some crazy cast on minion death stuff over there

[simple jolt]

yeah lightning waves add intelligence and lightning tags to focus

[grizzled siren]

back to farming gold...in cof

because i need more stash tabs

[simple jolt]

i need more mana

[grizzled siren]

sorc problems

[simple jolt]

true i really should switch these lvl 5 jade rings to the %mana ones

[novel locust]

Yeah I think I’m sold on Sabertooth tbh

Can level with a trex

[sinful beacon]

whats a good mage leveling guide that´s not the melee one in maxroll

[simple jolt]

there are a couple, glacier is good and my personal favorite is spreading flames fireball

lightning blast is great from the get go

[sinful beacon]

can u use that till lvl 80 or so?

[simple jolt]

glacier yes, fireball eh harder

[sinful beacon]

having problems with clear using lighting blast

single target dmg is good

[simple jolt]

i haven't used lightnign blast in like 2 years so not sure

also for some goat ignites you can do volcanic orb

[sinful beacon]

haha

[simple jolt]

explosive ground is amazing

[sinful beacon]

will check that out

[simple jolt]

just gotta constantly use manastrike

[sinful beacon]

k

ty for the tips

[simple jolt]

np, i always league start a mage due to volcanic orb and fireball just melting with thier ignites

[dusty oak]

Uh oh hot dog - you can shatter set items that have been corrupted in the regular forge!

As long as the corrupted item was changed into a different item style of the same type. Doppelgangers dice were corrupted and turned into a different type of relic and I was able to shatter the set item in the normal forge

[dull wind]

i get stuck in loading screen since last patch, anyone any idea how to fix?

[south marsh]

Troubleshooting steps
1- restart the pc
2- check the game files if there is a corrupted one
3- turn off VPN if you use one

If nothing works then it's best to contact support

!support

[rancid basalt]

Anything we can help with? We've support articles and a contact form at https://support.lastepoch.com/.

[dull wind]

it's the VPN, tyvm

[south moat]

Yes
They're no longer the original set piece but "reforged" like you put a shard of the set on another item

[severe socket]

Trying something out...

!bug

[severe socket]

...yep-yep, still no updated info here.

"No Access" is awesome here, lol.

[undone pumice]

What's the funnest strongest rogue build?

[undone wave]

I dunno about most fun, but falconer still strongest

[undone pumice]

I am up for playing anything

[south marsh]

I'm glad it worked mate

[undone pumice]

Hmm never tried falconer, perhaps it's time

[umbral bramble]

If you haven't tried it, it's always worth a try.

Fun watching a birb

[south marsh]

I've played blade and marksman but never falcon either

[simple jolt]

rogue got a couple new skills to play around with

[south marsh]

I was like "If I want minion I can just go zoo or Necro"

[undone pumice]

Which trees are the new skills in?

[umbral bramble]

Base tree

[undone pumice]

Also is there any specific falconer build recommended?

Ah

[flint berry]

ty

[undone pumice]

I'm eager for burd

[south marsh]

Have you heard about the word

[undone pumice]

B-b-b

[south marsh]

Brid is the word~

[simple jolt]

birb is the best bird

[south marsh]

Death by pigeons

[low flower]

I got the bee set and a few not so good bee idols. seems decent and really fun.

[spice oar]

How long do I have to wait for my guide to be approved or rejected? It's already been three days for me

[south marsh]

What guide is it

[spice oar]

Last epoch tools build

[dusty oak]

This was intended?

[south marsh]

Yeah I'm asking about what type I can't really answer the question itself I'm just curious

[south moat]

Yes.

Just like you can shatter one of the pieces where you put the shard yourself

[willow sentinel]

Maybe ask in the LEtools discord
Letools is not affiliated to EHG, so unlikely to get an answer here

[hidden steppe]

can someone tp me to temporal sanct?

[flint ocean]

when does warpath become strong? like what do i need to prioritise first, so far i only got the doom ring and t6 affix of reduce channeling cost

[south marsh]

#🔱┃sentinel the lads there are better suited for this question

[lime pendant]

channel reduction

and mana after

than u do the rest

[lime pendant]

if you hit the shattered chains belt you will synergize with the rings, means u sustain easier, since u have a t6 channel reduction mod you can look to gear up a bit of mana and eventually look for a t7 channel reduction that u can tier 8 with the rune from beast

[flint ocean]

tyvm

im at 500 mana only 1 point specced into the 10 sec thing

[lime pendant]

if you have questions about it you can dm me as well, im mainly warpath this season

[flint ocean]

tyvm

[deep jewel]

fuse with abbysal echoes get world splitter, army of skin and youll be barely unkillable with amazing aoe

[flint ocean]

i done like 6 harbys 😭

how rare is it

[lime pendant]

world splitter is ur biggest damage spike, thats right

[deep jewel]

i got my first in 10 but later seemed like its a common drop, there's 1 more axe that deals like x5 damage from hab but you have no mana

[flint ocean]

damn

[halcyon sky]

damn people are on 10k corruption already

i really need to try this zhp falconer build 😄

[south marsh]

Luckily I'll never get that far

[dapper wedge]

how on earth is 10k corruption even possible

[shut shard]

rookie numbers, last season there was a guy on 110k corruption

[dapper wedge]

HOW

[shut shard]

infinite scaling on the damage/area warpath node with some creative item swaps

[dapper wedge]

i assume the build kills everything off screen so you dont get hit with any dmg

[shut shard]

yeah

[inner finch]

There were some very broken interactions

[dapper wedge]

falconer seems to be smashing the leaderboards

[inner finch]

The build that took 90% nerf was one of them, but the funny part about numbers, is that 10% capability of 50K corruption is still 40K corruption

[halcyon sky]

surprised there's a marksman so high

[shut shard]

name a more iconic duo, rogue and being completely busted

like slam one or two ward on shadow creation affixes and congrats you have more ward than mage, the prime ward class

while sacrificing nothing for it really

[dapper wedge]

i managed to get over 1k corruption last season and i was real happy with that, my best ever.

[inner finch]

Well, the drop curve slows quite a bit down after the 500 corruption zone

[shut shard]

that depends on the build really, I'd be glad if my current homebrew build can push even 500-600

but for a meta build you could hit that day one

[dapper wedge]

im playing spin2win this season, i see someone has done 2149 with the build so far

[south marsh]

What are you playing?

[umbral bramble]

Do I do a dumb and go Vitality stacking druid

[shut shard]

essence weaver sb, although I'm still not settled on the variation, probably lightning

but also the orbit VO build might be on the table if I can get around the particle spam, can't see shit on the screen

[south marsh]

Wait you lost me I've never heard of that one what exactly is it

I'm curious

[shut shard]

proc sb but instead of using the reasonable dagorath's claw variant you go for essence weaver with the 50% more effect of legendary affixes on weaver weapons set

so you ditch lb and spark charges

and go for static instead

[south marsh]

.... That sounds fun

[shut shard]

yea but rolling a good essence weaver is a pain

I'm still using one that is about 25% there if we are generous

before corruption that is

it's prone to rolling melee affixes which are mostly useless in the build

[mossy musk]

is there a place in here to report bugs ? i cant report the bug in the client

[south marsh]

!support

[rancid basalt]

Let's work together to get it sorted! We've support articles and a contact form here: https://support.lastepoch.com/.

[mossy musk]

thanks !

[silk flare]

Hello 🙂 Im playing bladestorm build but cant afford Omnis. You think the next best option is a nihilis?

[south marsh]

You could go to #🔪┃rogue since they are more focused on the class

[halcyon nexus]

Is there a build in the game currently similar to the healing hands paladin build or the gutted umbral blade falconer?

[south marsh]

No idea sry

[ebon karma]

Where to find new boss guy ?

[willow sentinel]

You do the omen veil echo (the one with triple omens windows) and you have to open all three at a time, and close them properly, not letting them fail or run out

[tight escarp]

Did we remove Rune of havoc from the prophecies that reward "Runes" ? Finished like 15 prophecies and got zero rune of havoc

[meager ingot]

So like

Mathematically will a 4lp red ring drop before the heat death of the universe

[hard basalt]

we'll probably be halfway to the next next kalpa

[wild badge]

how do i calculate with cooldownrecovry?

Spell has 3.5sec and in my plan i can get up to 160% cdr

[ruby summit]

My experience showed, its faster to farm them with the rift beast.

[hard basalt]

should be 3.5/2.6

[willow sentinel]

New cooldown = old cooldown / (1+cdr)
-> 3.5/(1+1.6)=1.346

[wild badge]

aight, ty

[near horizon]

Is it just me or is it hard to find an exalted critical strike chance affix on rings?

[near horizon]

I've gotten thousands of rings

still nothing

[undone pumice]

What do we have to do again to play with multiple people on the same connection? Me and my partner have been getting errors, and I vaguely remember a process.

Like a web form to submit into.

(we're at an air bnb and not on usual internet)

[wise summit]

did they add chapters to the campaign since first season?

I don't remember there being this many

[hard basalt]

yeah they added one chap last season iirc

[wise summit]

ahh ok

chapter 10?

because I lowkey remember you kill the ||naga in the temple|| and then the ||other naga flees and then story is over||

[crisp sinew]

Nice, the game is running on background.

Yes Windows, Last Epoch is Gamer's Windows Defender

[wise summit]

what

[crisp sinew]

The game running on background for 5 minutes.

I feel like I'm having parental control and I'm 40 😭

[umbral bramble]

If in doubt,

[wise summit]

I don't even understand what this means

you're alt-tabbed?

[crisp sinew]

I restarted the game after hard crash. it was in background task with 10% CPU usage in Task Manager

[wise summit]

ahh I see

[ancient surge]

After confirming that yes, rings can roll crit chance, I have to ask: rune of havoc?

[near horizon]

Yeah, it can

I don't have many runes

ran out rn

[ancient surge]

any T7 prefix ring for redemption?

And lastly, MG or CoF?

[wise summit]

CoF of course

[ancient surge]

Was mostly talking to Box here, but eh...

[south moat]

Love it when that happens... bah

[wise summit]

yeah but I mean

CoF is just far superior

[ancient surge]

Love me some Windows shenangian bugs.

[south moat]

Really makes me wish I'd just swap to Linux
but I keep pushing that back every time I think about doing it

[ancient surge]

With how the OS uses the machine itself, I have always been weary of shifting to Linux when I kind of am unsure of I can continue to play the games I already own that I still mildly care about in a world where most software is made for Windows.

[wise summit]

this new chapter 10 is pretty cool ngl

[crisp sinew]

Didn't know there's a lot of Cradle of Filth fans here. 😂

[sweet moss]

yp ;pwl

[crisp sinew]

back to #📚┃off-topic

[sweet moss]

yo lowk* we need an option to turn off auto heal bc im playing low hp right and i get 1 shot if im not low life and omens veil is deadass impossible bc yall forcing my full hp

.-.

anyways

[willow sentinel]

What is healing you?

[south moat]

Me
Just to be evil

Hey Vlad btw

[willow sentinel]

👋

[sweet moss]

the healing potions

is there a way to turn off auto heal?

omens viel js drops soooo many

[south moat]

There's an option to make it so you don't automatically consume pots that are on the ground, yes
in gameplay

[sweet moss]

omg ily

[south moat]

have to scroll a bit

[sweet moss]

thank you

[willow sentinel]

There might be an option to not auto pick up

[tender sparrow]

wait i have to ask why do you not want heal

[willow sentinel]

Other wise you can use potion convert to ward

[willow sentinel]

You can play low life, and generate ward with your missing hp

[sweet moss]

low life setup, i have DR and everything

if i heal i lose all that

[tender sparrow]

oh low life

[sweet moss]

and then splat...

[willow sentinel]

On top of that there are nodes that gives you dr when ll

[sweet moss]

yeah, i lose dmg, i lose my regeneration, and i lose my DR, so it makes it hard to do things

i really appreciate the help all 🙂

[last egret]

is this some sort of magic or why all my characters disappeared

[sweet moss]

new season, are they in legacy?

[last egret]

ive been playing online and have lvl 70 rogue in ssfhc

i have none in legacy and in season

[blazing gyro]

is this echo chain node on the weaver tree just bad? I'm not getting any cemeteries or my imprinted echoes spawning next to the chains

[granite kindle]

wheres the loot filter?

[blazing gyro]

shift f in-game, if thats what you mean

[granite kindle]

thank you

[willow sentinel]

Vpn or proxy?

[last egret]

no

[blazing gyro]

did your pc crash?

i had an issue with steam cloud save not syncing once after a pc crash

and all of my characters were gone, I just had to go onto steam and retieve the most recent save from the cloud

[last egret]

im playing online, all the data should be server side no?

apparently there were 2 corrupted files since last patch so updating it fixed the issue

[tulip lagoon]

I am crazy or is echo chain omens just extremly overtuned like it had 0 testing before even getting launched?

[rancid pulsar]

I think I'm a COF believer now

[tulip lagoon]

Or maybe the intention was to alienate 90% of builds forcing you to have really good AoE

[rancid pulsar]

haven't had time to play for a few days but it doesn't matter at all, I can just chill

[willow sentinel]

I mean it's a swarm like mechanic in a tight area

You need to be able to not get swarmed

[south moat]

I'll get swarmed
by the bees

Living armor, wall of bees

[willow sentinel]

[soft kestrel]

eyo guys is there a MG discord?

[willow sentinel]

#💰┃merchants-guild

[tulip lagoon]

yah but it so much more mobs than anything else, even the normal omens it's like 1/20 of that..

[willow sentinel]

Some builds will struggle
We have been in bossing meta for such a long time
It's actually nice to have some clearing aoe mechanic

[last egret]

flame reave is like the best skill for this season

full screen aoe and can clear 3 omen echo pressing one button and running around

man these new ceramic elites do funny damage

[sinful crescent]

The jumping coffee pots?

[last egret]

ye

[sinful crescent]

They do some damage for sure

[wise summit]

yay finally done with campaign

it actually took 2 days this time o_o

[night marten]

Whats your actual /played tho?

[wise summit]

but I guess they've made it quite a bit longer since I last played

[wise summit]

17.5 hours

or I guess 18 hours pretty much

I think last time I played the campaign I finished it in like 12 tops

but it was definitely way shorter then

I haven't really played at all since first season

[mental quiver]

I got home from work today and tried using Focus and Arcane Ascendance, but they didn't work. I looked into it and saw it's a bug fix, but is this actually a bug? Or is this a deliberate move to kill off people who are leveling up a specific build?

You should have patched it before the season opened. Whose idea was it to make builds completely unusable after the season has already launched?

[wise summit]

I think every time a build is changed mid-season, the actual reasoning for it is always because of an unintended bug or exploit

same thing happened to my build in pre-season 0 when falconer was completely broken

[mental quiver]

I have spent several days leveling up this character, but your patch has wiped out those days of work.

[wise summit]

just reroll to a different build o_o

[wise summit]

what level is it?

[mental quiver]

93

[wise summit]

damn

but I mean, you gotta have some extra uniques lying around in your stash?

just go for some other closely similar build

[mental quiver]

I got lost.

I can't even start on equal footing, and I can't develop this build anymore. I'm angry that they made it unusable during the season.

I could finally run, but now I can't even crawl because of the patch.

[wise summit]

so dramatic xd

[south marsh]

It's all a conspiracy to ruin your experience

EHG is watching your every move and makes sure you suffer

[last egret]

once again, very funny to see how people respond until their build is bugfixed

xdd

[south marsh]

I mean I'm actually not gonna go mental over a build

[last egret]

where did you see he gone mental tho

[south marsh]

I mean the whole "is it a deliberate move to kill off certain ppl" not a mental statement

[formal star]

Is there a similar featured to /played in POE so you can see how long campaign takes you etc.

[last egret]

I think its pretty fair to assume people who played certain build for several days which got bugfixed will be upset, even if its recency bias

It is okay to be upset without involving any personal attacks

[wild badge]

y'all got any ideas for some builds? i m wondering what else i could play, mainly played marksam so far

[south marsh]

What are you looking for in terms of gameplay

[formal star]

What got bugfixed

[south marsh]

There is a difference between "I'm annoyed" and "This was an attack upon the community how could you do this to me my life is over"

[wild badge]

1 button for attacks only pls lol

[south marsh]

Are you going for fun or are you going to push for high corruption cuz there is a fun build I like but honestly idk how far it can go

So I won't recommend it if you want to go into true end-game

[last egret]

once again, there is no personal attacks, people will either calm down or cross the line, until then trying to judge them actually looks more cringe tbf

[wild badge]

it should be somewhat capable of farming at 400-500 corr

[umbral bramble]

Anyone know how Apathy works with channeled skills?

Is it just a one time cost during the channel?

[south marsh]

Ok ok you are right I'm so sorry for thinking he is overreacting to a bug fix that was meant to be done as bugs are not good for the game

I'm sooooo sorry

[last egret]

you are the one overreacting over people who upset

[south marsh]

Maybe warpath then it's a staple and simple to use

[south marsh]

Yes I am a bad person I'm sry

[wild badge]

well thats the one i already did once next to my marksman stuff, but i dont really want to play an op build like this

[south marsh]

Hmm have you seen the zombie Necro build?

[night marten]

thats way higher than i thought it would be. lol

[wild badge]

man i m so picky

i dont want any minions xd

[south marsh]

Flay lich?

[wild badge]

can one do a build around maelstrom? should it not be kinda similar to warpath in terms of "circle around you do dmg"

[night marten]

do what i am doing, detonate ground forge guard. you technically need two buttons, one to generate mana and one to spend it

[south marsh]

I'm not familiar with primalist sry

[night marten]

yeah, there are mael builds out there. and even some doing tsunami inside mael

[wild badge]

thats two button for attacking tho

[south marsh]

Ur still making forged weapons which are technically minions

[night marten]

you arent scaling or using minions at all

they just happen to appear and do nothing

[south marsh]

Fair

[wild badge]

ok ok i think i want to try maelstorm and cook something on my own
but first i need to finish my marksman

[night marten]

eh. its hardly a piano tho. most builds are gonna need more than just holding one button down. even just for buffs or generating stacks of something

most of the time you really just hold down both buttons and w/e you have mana for FS it goes off

[wild badge]

buffs are completly different! i m fine with using a buff here and there, but if i need a second attack to generate mana its basically two button attacks since i cant attack without the mana

[quasi linden]

Can you reroll corrupted uniques in the sacrifice altar?

[broken trench]

no

[quasi linden]

Dang

[wild badge]

afaih you can use them to reroll other items tho

[quasi linden]

Oh nice don't mind that

[night marten]

surely today we get an upgrade...yesterday missed every slam and corrupt

[wild badge]

i predict "min roll all affixes" on your next corrupt

[night marten]

istg

[south marsh]

Incoming brick train

[night marten]

why would you wish this upon me?

[south marsh]

To be fair you set up the flag urself

[night marten]

doesnt mean you have to be mean 🥲

[south marsh]

I just echoed the universal jinx call

[simple bison]

Eagles is building a wall

brick by brick

[south marsh]

🤣

[wild badge]

🧱

[south marsh]

Now I understand he is making a wall build

[night marten]

https://tenor.com/view/jo-jo-gang-beat-up-anime-kick-gif-17369990

[simple bison]

https://tenor.com/view/ogvhs-gif-18199871

[wild badge]

imagine a unique that scales with the amount of bricked gear you have equipped

[simple bison]

That's kinda the harmony spear tbf

in a way

[south marsh]

Oddly satisfying this one

[wild badge]

will he ever run out of bricks?

or is he cosplaying @night marten

[south marsh]

I wanna go home

But I still have an hour and a half on the clock

[night marten]

now its just bullying

[south marsh]

Why u bulli the birb

[wild badge]

it only counts as bullying if we continue to do this for like 3 months.
so be careful what you wish for!

[south marsh]

Bricks bricks for everyone

[south moat]

Bricks for the brick god

[south marsh]

Eagles be like Santa but instead of coal he leaves bricks

The brick of destiny

[ebon karma]

what up tier omen give ?

[night marten]

just more rewards

[south marsh]

One brick to rule them all,
one brick to find them,
One brick to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them.

[umbral bramble]

Just an hour left until long weekend. Not back in until next Wednesday.

[south moat]

I already started my weekend

[south marsh]

I wonder if I can work from home tomorrow

[wild badge]

i was wednesday the last time in the office

and tomorrow is off

[south marsh]

I'm bored out of my mind

[wild badge]

i have 4 days weekend in an hour

[south marsh]

Isn't there another crybaby to make fun of

[ruby ferry]

Do they know that when we use teleport we get dc sometimes…..

[south marsh]

Well hello there

[ruby ferry]

This is getting annoying

[south marsh]

[night marten]

only if you f8 and report it ingame

[south marsh]

Serious question tho are you able to replicate the bug or is it somewhat random

As is there a trigger to the DC or you just randomly DC on teleport

[ruby ferry]

I just try to use teleport from one location to another and boom disconnect

Thats it

[south marsh]

Is it every time or?

[ruby ferry]

No once in a while

[south marsh]

That's a weird behavior

[ruby ferry]

Or sometimes none

Might happen after an hour again

[south marsh]

Mind telling me if it's zone specific? Like have you experienced it in specific places

[ruby ferry]

I’m in the story on my way to majelka

[south marsh]

So it's the desert zone

It didn't happen before?

[ruby ferry]

It happen but not that often as now

[prime fox]

Heh, I find it amusing that this is not as specific as it would be in most games.

[lucid prairie]

anyone else get crazy fps drops with shadow rend shadow cascade?

[south marsh]

I haven't done a build with these skills so I can't say for sure

[prime fox]

I don't recall, but I'm not using Shadow Rend. I think FPS drops must be because of the lighting tech they're using, given the symptoms.

[south marsh]

Usually there should be a trigger for a bug to happen

[prime fox]

Kalitarq: Sure. I was just saying that 'omw to Maj'elka' is not specific as to zone. It's unclear whether this is Imperial or Divine Era.

[ruby ferry]

And you n Thetima area it happened twice in a row

[prime fox]

Yes, quite. But then, this is pretty standard in a time-travel game.

[south marsh]

If you can report the bug

[ruby ferry]

Honestly i cant be bothered with reports now ill put the kid for sleep soon :/

[south marsh]

You know the thing is it feels like all the bugs in this game are allergic to me I've yet to experience a single crash

[south marsh]

Take care of the kiddo

[prime fox]

I wish I had that allergy.

[tranquil geyser]

I was trying to slam an armor with reflect into a blinding thicket, and it was giving me an error that it's the wrong armor type? Super confused

[south marsh]

That didn't help my progression tho I have more characters in the grave than I'd like to admit

[south marsh]

I'm just as confused cuz I don't understand what ur talking about

[hollow wing]

QQ: how to turn on quest list on map interface? i want to check what passive point/idol slots quests i am missing

[prime fox]

I almost rage-quit the entire season when I almost died to Sturiax because of rubber-banding issues online. I know I'm quite bad at the game, but I'm not THAT bad.

[south marsh]

Mouse/keyboard or gamepad

[hollow wing]

mouse

[prime fox]

Sounds like he's trying to put a Thorns mode from armor onto the Thorns Primordial Unique?

[south marsh]

J

[hollow wing]

thanks a lot, the interface shows an up arrow lol i was so confused

[prime fox]

Darn it, I was too late with the K.

[tranquil geyser]

That's correct. And it's saying the body armor might create an effect that isn't compatible with the class. But I'm on paladin and using a paladin exhaulted and the thicket is on the paladin

[prime fox]

This is with Temporal Sanctum, right?

Did you craft, say, Dexterity onto the Armor?

[south marsh]

Funny how ppl are still getting mad about the imprints

[prime fox]

People always get angry at a loss in power/convenience.

[south marsh]

Yeah I guess

[prime fox]

Which is... a very complex dynamic considering current game design philosophies.

[night marten]

can you show the items in #❔┃ask-the-community

aaaaaaand another missed corruption

[worn tundra]

Are there any server issues right now? I keep getting disconnected in US-East HC.

[prime fox]

?

[night marten]

i specifically need this on a world splitter

[prime fox]

Gotcha.

[night marten]

and its been like, 15+ 1lp slams that have failed

[south marsh]

Build that wall

[prime fox]

Getting a specific mod is not easy, I would think.

[night marten]

its not. but i would very much like to get it

[willow sentinel]

Forge Strike World Splitter oO

[night marten]

cuz the weapon i have had since like, lvl 40

[prime fox]

Yes. If the numbers I saw are accurate, you're nowhere near the expected value of attempts necessary, I think.

[night marten]

yeah. ik its an 'erasing strike' weapon...but honestly both wnt the same thing.

[prime fox]

Wait, does that mod transfer to the weapons?

[night marten]

gotta corrupt after the slam

[willow sentinel]

Yeah ofc
Aoe must be good

[night marten]

the aoe and the extra crit for expensive skill. it doesnt feel bad, esp with detonating ground is basically a free echo

aoe is worse than ES tho

[prime fox]

Gotta get more AoE for my Gathering Storm. The targeting on Storm Bolt is really quite bad.

[night marten]

but i get a shield, so near 90% block

[willow sentinel]

Ofc it is
It's a FG skill

[night marten]

XD

[willow sentinel]

You deal less dmg in a smaller area

[night marten]

but i get so much block

[south marsh]

But looks cooler

[night marten]

my real problem is actually armor

rekt by brutality

[prime fox]

I think we might need to revoke your FG card. 😉

[willow sentinel]

Ah

[night marten]

just wait till you see my dex based bane of winter FG

lol

[prime fox]

Heh. Just saying Armor that low on a FG feels criminal.

[night marten]

it does feel criminal. i agree

its not somthing i have had to deal with in 4 seasons

that being said i am still insanely tanky for 600 corr. i can stand in the greater omen windows fine (as long as there is no poison mobs)

[sinful crescent]

The MTX shop should have a "new" or "featured" tab

[prime fox]

Delz: #suggestions would love to hear that, I'm sure.

[night marten]

it does tho?

[prime fox]

I just want a halfway decent Gathering Storm build, but, yeah.....

[sinful crescent]

I mean on the right side, the tabs.

[night marten]

but thats the thing...each tab has the 'featured' right at the top

sorted by category already

[sinful crescent]

Ah, actually didnt notice that. Thanks for pointing it out 🙂

[night marten]

now the 'new' tab, yes, i agree. i actually made that suggestion earlier

and some actual search capabilities

[sinful crescent]

Search really should be added with next batch of MTX imo

[south marsh]

Tbh the mtx game is pretty weak for LE

I'm not really drawn to any of the options

[prime fox]

Not surprising, as it's not meant to be the primary revenue stream, last I checked.

[south marsh]

No I mean the design choices are not the best

[green imp]

Having issues... steamdeck when finished a monolith the portal doesn't work...

[south marsh]

At least imo

[night marten]

offline portals are a known issue unfortunately

[prime fox]

Ah, yes... I sort of meant to encompass that in my statement by implying that since it's not a primary revenue stream, it gets lower priority for asset design, which would lead to poorer design choices.

[green imp]

damn, hopefully it's on their list

[prime fox]

It's in the KI list.

[south marsh]

My thought process is somewhat different since they are a pay to play game I'd understand if they had fewer selections but that doesn't mean the designs of what they release should be so.... Idk

[night marten]

it is

[prime fox]

Yeah, very much a quantity vs. quality game, I should say. But I wouldn't expect the MTXes to be on par with, say, PoE's (not that I'm all that impressed with theirs), simply because of the business models involved.

[night marten]

#1486744068347269301

[green imp]

Oh also, unlocked empowered on one char, another it's not though all the monos are active. Thinking i just need to do one or some of the last 3 monos to unlock empowered?

[south marsh]

That's the thing I don't compare them to PoE at all I'm only thinking in terms of stand alone quality

[prime fox]

I do both.

[south marsh]

Most of the things I've seen in the shop are almost as if sentinel specific and the rest of the classes got almost nothing

[prime fox]

Though, as I am less qualified to talk about overall design, I tend to default to comparative measures (which is something I don't like in general) or, I guess, general 'vibes'.

[prime fox]

Resource management reason, maybe? Perhaps most of the MTXes were made in the Sentinel buff season?

Just spitballing here.

[south marsh]

Yeah I'm not even complaining for real I'm just trying to find something to talk about cuz I'd seriously go insane waiting for the work day to end

[prime fox]

Know anything about Primalist?

[south marsh]

Negative

I'm mainly playing Acolyte

With Sentinel and Rogues sprinkles

As for mage and primal....nothing

[prime fox]

Ah. Going by what I've actually played, I am Mage and Sentinel mainly, though I really want to get a build clicking with me for each class.

[regal ore]

Guys, is there any melee build in the game that scales void and elemental damage?

[south marsh]

Funny thing is that acolyte got me hooked on both minion and melee builds

[regal ore]

Trying to think of some use for Sacrificial Embrace

[modern oxide]

heck yeah

[regal ore]

Acolyte got some really good MTX btw

[south marsh]

I don't think there's a build that scales of 2 different damage types

[prime fox]

Mage has some wacky Void builds, or so I've heard. Note I didn't necessarily say 'good'.

[regal ore]

Warlock has plenty tho, but not void

[regal ore]

Yea, was thinking about Meteor or something, with blackhole

[south marsh]

Lock is fire and necrotic right?

[regal ore]

But the melee attack speed is wasted sadly

[regal ore]

Can convert to physical, poison and cold too with some spells

[night marten]

those gloves are kinda for void procs. so think like gaspars, celestial doom, bane of winter

[south marsh]

Once again acolyte supremacy

[prime fox]

Warlock is pretty much a swiss army knife of damage types, with the notable exception being Void.

Which is annoying to me... I would love more Void-damage Masteries.

[night marten]

or using omnividence, last refuge

[regal ore]

The thing is, would the Abyssal Rite stacks apply to Celestial Doom's Doom Pulse?

Because if it applies to the elemental spell itself it's pretty odd I guess

[south marsh]

Well they can't give them everything

[night marten]

it does apply to the ele spell, but you are looking for things that also have more void on them, that do void things, since you are going to be scaling void

[prime fox]

Oh, I wasn't suggesting that they give Void damage to Warlocks. More like give us a Void Cultist Mastery for Acolyte.

[regal ore]

Exactly. That's my confusion. I can't think of a void build that would use a elemental spell

[south marsh]

It would clash with the void knight directly

[regal ore]

I am either missing something or there is no good synergy yet in game

[regal ore]

For the Sacrificial Embrace in particular

[prime fox]

VERY bad take, IMO. No other damage type is restricted to a single Mastery.

[regal ore]

I agree. I don't think there is any problem with two masteries sharing a damage type

[prime fox]

Kawthar: Especially considering that we have examples in every other damage type (though Necrotic is limited in skills to Acolyte).

[south marsh]

I'm thinking more in terms of class exclusivity since acolyte is I think the only necrotic user?

[prime fox]

Kalitarq: And you can guess my position on that. 😉

[regal ore]

The execution could be different tho. While Void Knight is about hitting hard with void, another void mastery could be about DoT/debuffs mostly

[south marsh]

I like the idea of exclusive elements here's why.
I think it fits the Role model in a rpg game more

[regal ore]

Warlock uses necrotic mostly as DoT too, so a Necrotic mastery for Sentinel which hits really hard with it could be cool too

Like a Death Knight

[prime fox]

Not a very good take, either. You can VERY easily build a very DoT-focused VK build. Acolyte Void build obvious niche is Void minions.

[south marsh]

The acolyte fits the necrotic archetype

[prime fox]

Then they need to restrict damage types to Classes/Masteries more.

[regal ore]

I mean, you sure can, but it's far for viable if you compare to the main intended way to build the mastery

[prime fox]

Disagree.

[regal ore]

I am not an expert on sentinel but do you know of any dot based void knight build that scales as much as a hard hitting ES build, for example?

[night marten]

time rot is stupid strong

[wet mauve]

I wish there were more archetypes for different elements is all.

Like id love to see a necrotic version of forged weapons because of all the thematic stuff made hinting at that.

Void mage would be cool due to the bits of support it has.

Etc. Etc.

[prime fox]

Time Rot was an exceptional build last Season, at least. I would have to check if it still is this season.

[prime fox]

I agree that the hints provided by items and the like should be the buds that are used to branch out the classes and masteries.

[south marsh]

Them rings bruh why

Why give necrotic damage to forged weapons 🤣

[prime fox]

I love my FG rings, and you can have them when you can literally chop them off my cold dead hands.

[regal ore]

Hm, you are right, forgot about that

[prime fox]

Future Strike also scales with DoT scaling, but I don't think it's as viable.

[prime fox]

To give them some minor buffs without being able to scale that buff well, I would say.

[south marsh]

Ngl the thing I want to see the most in any rpg game is gravity skills

[regal ore]

Funny enough, since I started to play more in parties, I like when build have some splash random damage types like that

[prime fox]

I could see a Void Mage Mastery focused on that.

[wet mauve]

Thats a heavy thought

[regal ore]

Although I still don't like stuff like Embrace's melee attack speed when it's probably an item intended for spellcasters

[prime fox]

Spatially-variable heaviness too! 😉

[south marsh]

Compress a skill leading to an explosion or make a zone around you with crushing gravity

[regal ore]

Oh yea, Aura of Decay but for gravity

[south marsh]

Just thinking about it gets my inner child screaming

[prime fox]

Maaaaayybe it's meant to be used for a Spellblade trigger build?

[prime fox]

You must LOVE Chronomancer Shrines.

[south marsh]

Hell yea

[regal ore]

That's the path I am looking into right now haha

[wet mauve]

Black hole fart. Draw in matter to compress and spit out as a fiery like spray

[prime fox]

VK is the only current mastery that feels gravity-aligned.

[south marsh]

Ok you definitely need to go to the toilet mate

[wet mauve]

XD

[onyx hatch]

i wanna make another build but idk what

any suggestions?

[prime fox]

Let me pull out my randomizer...

[regal ore]

Which one was your first build?

[south marsh]

What are you looking from the build

Like end-game corruption or just a casual fun play

[wet mauve]

And what kind of gameplay too

[onyx hatch]

i played runemaster lb , getting any better pieces would be like 1 in a million so time to swap

[prime fox]

DS Bladedancer.

[onyx hatch]

end game corruption

[south marsh]

Then I can't say anything I don't play for corruption

[onyx hatch]

like im tryna stomp EVERYTHING

[wet mauve]

shieldbash is always nice.

[regal ore]

Same. I like speed clearing but I dont care about high corruption

But one build I think can be fun and I'll try build for is Flame Whip RF with the Ash Wake

[south marsh]

I'm trying a different spin on the skellie exploding necro it's so fun

[regal ore]

The only minion build I enjoyed playing in LE was Shaman totems

[prime fox]

Laup's Seed makes for RIDICULOUS Primalist Leveling.

[regal ore]

1000%

[south marsh]

I've never played any of the primalist specs

[regal ore]

It was my first unique drop this cycle

[wet mauve]

Im doing something similar but physical.

Using immortal blossom and exsang with physical aod. Its funny to ignore all of julras mechanics

[regal ore]

And I didn't swap it until level 90 LOL

[prime fox]

Laup's Seed + Doublet = entire screens dying almost instantly.

[prime fox]

Same!

[wet mauve]

Laups seed and cold convert thorn totems is soo good for leveling and monos

[regal ore]

Do you mean Blossom of Immortal Stone?

[wet mauve]

Yep

[prime fox]

Haven't tried cold conversion yet. I was just applying 3-500 bleeds at level 20something, I think.

[wet mauve]

So cold convert is great if scaling hit damage. Especially cause the war cry ability has a buff thats like 250% increased cold dmg for 4 secs

[prime fox]

Certainly makes sense.

[regal ore]

Seems fun. I am doing Physical Flame Whip with AoD too, but the regular build right now https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/BjqLxvG5

[wet mauve]

Nice! I'll check it out when I get home :d

[prime fox]

Unfortunately, I'm probably more or less done playing this season. Too many bugs to navigate.

[regal ore]

I am fortunate in this aspect, didn't get many

Mostly co-op stuff but we dealt with it

[wet mauve]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/BEdxKEV4 my build rn

[prime fox]

Can't play online at all due to rubberbanding issues, and offline apparently has random mono portals not working, so.....

Never really got AoD to work.

[regal ore]

God damn LMAO

21k EHP

[wet mauve]

Using it with exsang and lowlife lich passive means you can just have it on 24/7

[regal ore]

Nah mate, you have too much time in hands

[wet mauve]

Its actually higher cause it doesn't account for the dr from aod

[prime fox]

I'm well aware. Just never seemed to do that much damage. But I'm admittedly terrible at this game. Never even beat Aberroth.

[wet mauve]

Oh nah I do like no dmg

[regal ore]

Yea, I can't look at AoD for damage too, but it's a utility powerhouse imo

[prime fox]

So very much like PoE RF builds... low damage, but insanely tanky?

[regal ore]

Usually, yea. Then you complement the damage with another skill

[storm wadi]

oh no, logged in and noticed my fury leap doesnt jump across the screen anymore 🙁

[regal ore]

Rip Blood/Harvest in his build I guess

Fissure + Whips in mine

[prime fox]

Yeah, apparently.

[wet mauve]

I can facetank the slam from Julra that you're supposed to timeswap for in t3. Working on t4 but I need more sustain.

[regal ore]

Wait, what? They limited the range?

[storm wadi]

seems so

[prime fox]

Er, mine does?

[regal ore]

This was one of the only reasons I played with a ultrawide

[onyx hatch]

hows erasing strike this league?

[storm wadi]

it jumps like ass now

[regal ore]

Strong as ever

Maybe stronger

Probably, actually

[storm wadi]

maybe its controller thing and something has changed

[prime fox]

Oh, maybe not on ultrawide... But I can jump clear across the screen with my Fury Leap.

[onyx hatch]

ive wanted to build one for a while

just havent put in the time

[prime fox]

ES++

[storm wadi]

okey im gonna test without controller

[regal ore]

It's nuts. My friend is playing it (again, for 3 cycles) and it's the same

[wet mauve]

Harvest for bleed overload then rip blood autocasts

[regal ore]

He bonks, stuff dies

[regal ore]

Makes sense

[onyx hatch]

ive heard enough lol

ty

my journey begins

[prime fox]

Erasing Strike is also very incredibly satisfying to play.

[onyx hatch]

i miss d4 hota barb so maybe this is just cope

[wet mauve]

I like fury leap with controller cause it targets off screen. Such a big qol

[regal ore]

Btw, do you think a Flame Whip with Ash Wake, Wildfire Embers and Downfall of the Righteous makes sense? I am pretty sure that the Wildfire can recast fissures?

[prime fox]

I've never played with a controller, so I couldn't comment on that. I'm just RPing Thor from Thor: Ragnarok with my Shaman.

[regal ore]

Funny enough

[regal ore]

My friend plays ES exactly because of D4 HOTA

[wet mauve]

I've actually never messed with those skills so id have to look at em to know

[regal verge]

Mind you, the offline portal issue only affects some set-ups. Not to downplay the severity of the problem, but I've never had an issue with portals so far this season.

[storm wadi]

ah yeah with controller it jumps like 3x shorter, damn. gonna report it

[wet mauve]

I do know wildfire embers wasn't as good as it was thought to be. Maybe it got buffed i cant rem

[prime fox]

Fair, but that's exactly the kind of thing that will spike my blood pressure.

[regal ore]

Fair. The only thing messing with my head is the fact that the whips wants to hit hard while the rest wants a DoT build.

[balmy arrow]

@primal abyss the new member of the lizard gang

[regal ore]

Oh, my idea was to use wildfire wisps just to repeat the fissure cast so I can have multiple fissures on the ground at the same time LMAO

The ignite spread would be a bonus

[prime fox]

Chthonic Fissure might be one of the best-designed skills in the game, IMO.

[wet mauve]

in that case id scale fire damage as your first priority and dot after that. Its hard to grow both at the same time though.

[regal ore]

Yep. And I am pretty sure the fire pen to ignite from Wildfire wouldn't apply to the Flame Whips because of the way it replaces the spirits from the fissure but only scales from the fissure nodes itself

But I need to test it

Anyway, gotta start working now to be free for some LE later

[wet mauve]

Can't you just grab that one node on aod for a shit ton of fire pen?

[regal ore]

Oh yea, I'll for sure. With Ash Wake converting AoD to fire (which means I'll be scaling fire res to survive) + Wildfire chance to ignite per uncapped fire res, I think there is a good synergy here

[wet mauve]

Yeah, just be sure to stack fire res.
I was watching a video on your build and they said it was a massive damage increase

[regal ore]

It is, and a massive pain in the ass to manage too. Everytime I want to scale intelligence for more pen. I also need to scale more resistance LOL. And I am already starving for affix slots for mana regen

But, well, I am casual so this is as far as my buildcrafting goes

[wet mauve]

Thats why im not taking it yet lol I have 106 int. Thats 106 less res

[regal ore]

212 res. just to not kill yourself LMAO, it's tough

[wet mauve]

I think you're doing cool stuff though. Hope you have fun with the build

[regal ore]

Ty, and I am still amazed by your EHP, that's crazy. The highest I got with a viable build I planned was 11k and I thought it was high

[wet mauve]

and thats at half health due to lich passives

[turbid silo]

👋

[regal ore]

Ayo

[wet mauve]

Ayy Derrick. Im working on my contest entry

[scenic fog]

Are there any plans to optimize how the game runs? My system specs are pretty current now and there are still times where the game will freeze up and some load times are pretty rough. 32gb of ram and 16gb 50 series card here

[primal abyss]

Already know. This is my April gift

[turbid silo]

Nice!

[regal ore]

Important question. One hydrated Tyrannosaur vs 1000 highly motivated Void Squirrels. Who wins?

[primal abyss]

I'm team rex but the stats must go...Void Squirrels.

[night marten]

they optimize all the time. but its alot easier when you report these issues ingame with f8 so they can get the game data

[regal ore]

Hell yeah

[viscid gull]

Can you skip the story with alt now a days btw?

[regal ore]

Not directly like in D4

You can use dungeons to skip portions of the campaign tho

[last egret]

only if they decide to rewrote the whole game on new engine then maybe

[prime fox]

Yeah, there's likely some pretty tight limits on the optimization they can do. Unfortunately.

[wet mauve]

you'd be surprised, but a lot of it can also just be there's a lot on the screen at once.
Games like LE and poe tend to be limited by the cpu more than the gpu in my experience

also cpu + ssd can be a limiting factor in load times as well

[prime fox]

Maybe, always possible, but I do have some experience with code performance optimization.

[wet mauve]

i'm coming from the art side, and you'd be surprised how often assets are unoptimized if the dev isn't experienced with it.

[last egret]

this game has random fps spikes just by running different zone from the others, where is one having 75+ stable and another just less than 50 for no reason

[prime fox]

I'm sure there are reasons, Holy... it's just not necessarily apparent.

[prime fox]

Believe me, I don't think I would be. 😉

[last egret]

the reasons is Unity

im sure game wouldve been perfectly optimized by now if they wanted to, no reason not to

[prime fox]

? There are actually very good reason why it might not be.

E.g., money.

[wet mauve]

fun fact, wow's finished assets tend to be lower poly than the low poly packs you can find on asset stores and the like.
It's crazy how well stuff can be optimized when there's a will and a means to do it

[prime fox]

Interesting. I'm a complete amateur when it comes to computer graphics, but I would think that it would be obvious that you'd want the lowest number of polygons in your art that you could get away with, if you care about performance.

[last egret]

I don't really think they got any issues with money right now

[wet mauve]

yep, wow does a bunch of shenanigans with normal maps and hand painting in details.
it's expensive, cause handpainting is expensive, but the result is an mmo that can be ran on mid hardware and look good.

[prime fox]

Even if they don't in the absolute sense, the question is allocation. That could be put under 'want to', I guess, but generally speaking, development of a persistent game is always a choice among evils when it comes to development allocation.

[last egret]

I mean where is the money go then, cuz fairly speaking the money they got doesnt reflect the amount of content we get per 7 months

[prime fox]

The state of modern discussion is concerning.

[wet mauve]

they literally sold out because they didn't have money, and that was recent history.
It's gonna take time for that influx to have any meaningful change
