thanks you're the best

[buoyant path]

Are there plans to apply item filters to vendor shops?

[static violet]

You can actually tp to Soreth'ka (on desert) and it will fix it kudos to somebody from the game that told this fix

[placid plinth]

no plans

[indigo nacelle]

How hard would that be to implement because it would be super nice

[worldly frost]

Any particular reason squirrel minion AI isn’t naturally aggressive? Being neutral leads to gap in play, slows down gameplay completely.

LE isn’t overwhelming with pack size to the point that them being aggressive would cause a problem.

Playing squirrels right now and the lack of aggression takes what would be a comfortable enjoyable build and turns it into a second rate summoner …

A fire necro with wraiths mages and golems uptime of minion activity is so much higher than squirrels

Their minions are also aggressive ^

What's the base damage on serpent's venom from the serpents strike tree? It doesn't have a tooltip

[rapid basin]

Do we have the latest patch note?

[placid plinth]

[rapid basin]

Alright thx

[placid plinth]

extremely, there are several technical problems with it

[storm carbon]

Yo, Mike! Do you happen to have base stats for Disintegrating Aura on Hammer Throw? At the very least, base damage and tick rate?

[wintry umbra]

Hello! Is there some internal limitation to the amount of bone golems I might have? I found the helmet that increases their amount by 1, but equipping it and using the ability doesn't add a new one. I specked into Ivory twins skill though, so it brings me to 2 as it is, but I couldn't find anywhere that limit is 2 total.

[indigo nacelle]

bummer 😦

[plucky crane]

Plans to build a way to "test" a build without having to respec, level it up, and then realize, nope this is meh 😄

[placid plinth]

we have set them as we thought would feel good, if you have #368968647114227723 please put it there

[trim sparrow]

That did work, thanks!

[rapid basin]

Increase the level, not amount?

[maiden brook]

That increases level of the skill, not the amount you can summon

[wintry umbra]

Ah, I am dumb

thanks

[signal sage]

do stashes share between charcters?

[placid plinth]

no idea, don't see it on a quick glance, can you post the node in question?

[teal trail]

is there an ETA for bugfixes for the other bugged skills like sacrifice?
i really want to play the blood spectre build :(

[mortal forum]

Question, is a double trigger possible? Specific case- if Surge triggers Flame Reave, can Flame Reave then trigger Fireball according to the specced node?

[placid plinth]

5, 0.2

[placid plinth]

that increases your skill's level by 1

[worldly frost]

I did drop it but I’ll write something more up, more of a solid write up.

Squirrels being gimped at neutral is terrible vs other summoners, especially when it ends up being an actual hybrid build vs a pure summoner.. a summoner having aggressive minions vs hybrid having neutral is .. yeah.

It’s fine in normal monoliths but when you hit EMs it starts to feel miserable with the AI

[placid plinth]

#suggestions-and-like-to-see

[placid plinth]

if they aren't offline solo, yes

[placid plinth]

no

[placid plinth]

no, triggers expect to be from manual casts

[mortal forum]

Understood

But it IS possible for a single skill to trigger more than one other skill? If the right nodes are specced?

[dusty glen]

is monolith quest completion shared? If I do say Black Sun with a friend do we both unlock the next timeline after?

[placid plinth]

yes

[placid plinth]

if you both had enough stability, yes

[mortal forum]

Awesome, thanks for the rapid responses Mike

[sonic junco]

On Infernal shade tree, there is way to turn most fire based things into Physical or bleed, but i was wondering if that also applies to the hellfire node on that tree? more specify The Fire resistance Shred if it turns into Physical Shred? ^^''

if it doesn't say it does, it doesn't

oh it's an ailment, not a skill

ah sweet

[marsh shore]

Oh yeah.. Is there any plans to make it so we can personalize drops shown on our minimap. Like tagging exalted to show as a purple star etc?

[maiden brook]

damn that's got some BEEF to it on the base damage side

[placid plinth]

maybe

[signal sage]

is powerleveling an option and if so how effective or efficient is it compared to just running the campaighn again and leveling by yourself through monos?

[placid plinth]

while in a zone more than 10 levels above your own, you gain xp as though the zone was 10 levels above your own.

[floral pine]

are there any plans to have text from items copyable? I've worked on some stuff for further item analysis as a hobby, but using OCR dynamically is a bit.... less than ideal

[storm carbon]

oh another question regarding Aura hammers or DoT tick rates in general. When a skill has an added dmg effect per sec, I assume this is divided for each tick, but what about more multipliers that happen at the end of a calculation is that taken into account at each tick, or somehow divided like dmg effect?

[placid plinth]

no plans, no plans not to either (I think that part is often missed when I say no plans)

[karmic crest]

Can Artem the Gambler give unique items?

Dang mike, you're really churning out the responses!

[onyx jasper]

What chance do enemies get to dodge from the echo modifier "enemies have a chance to dodge", I suppose this is dependent on your character level but I assume there's a base dodge given.

[karmic crest]

Will future updates bring more areas to the campaign? I'd love to see more of the different cities in different timelines, as well as exploring the ancinet era a bit more.

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry I don't have those numbers handy, I think it starts around 5% but scales based on level

[placid plinth]

yes, there are a few missing chapters still

[karmic crest]

Nice

[radiant cedar]

mike i was thinking they fixed the druide skillbar changing bug?

i still have the problem idk makes me angry af

[placid plinth]

patch notes in #news

[serene kernel]

So I was under the assumption that the whole new Faction thing was being added this patch. When it is added will my Online character access this system, or will I have to make a new character?
Also any kind of ETA on this system? Was really interested in the SSF faction, even with just the shown ranks.

[torpid cloud]

Heya Mike me and my team are studying consecrated ground with the new unique glove for like 2hours 🤣.

But We are really Lost, the tooltip says that "WE gain 1 flat spell damage per 5% healing", but you have said that adding flat spell des not influence the damage of the dot.

So the only way to boost dot damage with attutment is damage over Time, elemental dommage over Time, fire dommage over Time and fire damage right ?

Also %spell damage influence dot damage too please ?

Sorry for the texte but it's difficult to understand this spell 😅

[placid plinth]

It's not a SSF faction, you are still encouraged to play and gift with friends. We don't have a specific timeline for it. We will be adding it as soon as we can but I don't know when that will be. It hasn't been started yet. All characters will have access to it.

(this info and more is available in the initial announcement post if you want to reference it in the future)

[placid plinth]

% increases to relevant stats (e.g. spell damage) do affect the dot damage.

So the only way to boost dot damage with attutment is damage over Time, elemental dommage over Time, fire dommage over Time and fire damage right ?
this has me a little confused and I think there is a typo in there because I think you do understand it.

Attunement increases the damage of the whole ability.

damage over Time, elemental damage over Time, fire damage over Time, fire damage, elemental damage and damage all apply to it.

ok lunch time

[torpid cloud]

Thank you ! Enjoy your meal

[pine dome]

Hi Mike,
How does the additional Flame Burst stacks from Inner Flame work with Warpath? Does it still increase Warpath stacks by a flat 1/2, or reduced to 0,6/1,2?

[strange tusk]

Bon appetit, Mike. Hopefully the remaining bugs get squashed fast.

[soft epoch]

what is the best way to include a video in the bug report?

Would a google drive link work?

[long cliff]

What does mages Ice Barrage node "Brightlance" do?
It says it removes the homing abilities of ice barrage - but ice barrage does not have homing properties (also seeking; choose one formulation) and non of the nodes grant either seeking or homing properties

[pine chasm]

Ailment chance multiplier from Warpath still applies.

[pine chasm]

The ice shards do curve toward enemies by default.

[pine dome]

Do you get 0.6 stack?

Or 60%to get one?

[pine chasm]

No, it's like any other ailment - % chance

[pine dome]

Ok

[acoustic bone]

Regarding Flame Burst provided by the Paladin Holy Aura. At baseline, melee attacks apply 10 stacks/hit, Warpath has reduced efficiency and only applies 6. How does the additional stack per hit, provided by Inner Flame, interact with Warpath. Does Inner flame add 1/2 stacks, or 0,6/1.2? If reduced, does one point do anything? And does both points get rounded down to 1 additional stack per hit?

[pine dome]

I have just asked that

[dusky island]

Any plans in making a character website?
Where you can at least see your character and the gear. Or maybe also see your storage

[placid plinth]

no plans one way or the other

[placid plinth]

yes

[cedar gazelle]

@placid plinth question

when last epoch build planner will work with online builds?

[acoustic bone]

That reply doesn't really answer the questions though, as far as I understand, Warpath has a 100% to apply to 6 stacks. So the reduction is in stack number, not chance. So Inner Fire should either Increase applied stacks to 7/8, or 6,6/7,2.

[placid plinth]

I have no information on 3rd party sites

[meager gorge]

Do DOTs like ignite, bleed, electrify and so on, scale off of anything other than increased DOT damage? For example does Electrify scale off of lightning % increased damage?

[placid plinth]

all the relevant damage type increases, yes Electrify scales off of lightning % increased damage

[patent jungle]

DEVES! I finished the Lagon mission 4x and I can't finish it it doesn't open the portal for me what should I do I'm tired of running to it

[pine chasm]

No, the base is 1000% chance to apply, Warpath lowers that to 600%. The "stack" terminology just means 100% times X

[placid plinth]

please do not post support requests or bug reports here in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs

I don't know how to fix it. You can get a friend to go to the point right after and portal to them.

I don't know how to fix it. You can get a friend to go to the point right after and portal to them.

[acoustic bone]

So, first point in Inner Fire gives makes you apply 6 stacks, with a 60% chance for a 7th? And the second point makes you apply 7, with 20% chance an 8th stack?

[atomic olive]

Are skills granted by items (e.g. "water orb" from Ucenui's Sphere) affected by cooldown reduction?

okay thanks!

[pure helm]

Hi Mike, just wanted to say i have never joined a Games official discord before, but after todays changes, i had too. I spent all night last night getting my first char to monoliths, it was a Flame Reave Char. I even spent 20 mins making a loot filter after looking up many guides to do so...just saying, alot of time investment here. I left for work and when i come back home, Flame reave is doing legit half the dmg as before and is the range seems to have been nerfed by 90% i Understand this was a bug with a talent point you "fixed" But please for the love of all that is holy, revert these changes, This skill feels awful now and unplayable.

[lethal linden]

any sugestion why i cant press start button on character screen select ?

[placid plinth]

I don't take #suggestions-and-like-to-see or #368968647114227723 in this channel. I understand it's frustrating but I can't help you.

[pure helm]

copy that

[upbeat glade]

Yo Mike, how does elemental damage works
1% elemental damage = 1% all types of elemental damage? so 1% lightning, cold, fire?

[torpid cloud]

A last question about consecrated ground and Hand of judgement gloves.

Does attunement Up the area of consecrated ground ? (like in multiplayer beta, or was it removed)

[lethal linden]

reinstalled game via steam an stack here

[pine chasm]

Still applies, yes

[orchid birch]

Hey Mike, something slightly interesting, ill just make a bug report, but think I ran into an obscure buffer overflow bug. It doesn't effect gameplay but it did make me laugh for a second lol. 🙂

[neon cedar]

Hi, does the "Ironclad Beetle" Skill in Druid's Swarmblade Form Skill tree work? It isn't showing any conversion in the Char Sheet. Just a visual bug?

[torpid cloud]

At beta the tooltip is the same but attunement Up consecrated ground area too ^^, that's why i ask

[acoustic bone]

Ok, followup question. Can Flame Burst stacks exceed 60? If you apply an uneven amount of Flame Burst stacks, you are likely to go above 60 stacks when triggering the Burst, do additional stacks "rollover"?

[orchid birch]

when you hover over it, its' a normal item

definitely an obscure overflow

[placid plinth]

basically, it's one of any of those, it doesn't double dip anywhere

[keen grove]

I did all three of the 90 monoliths, but I couldn't get to the thing in the center. I got the short cutscene but couldn't walk over the ground. I left the area and came back and now there's a hole around the device and I can't select the empowered versions of the monoliths.

Presumably this is a bug yeah? No way to fix it?

[placid plinth]

please do not post support requests or bug reports here

[placid plinth]

Hey Mike, I seem to be CPU bound. I'm running a 4ghz threadripper and 3090 being utilized at 25% while playing, hitting 30-40fps during combat. I have 32 cores but 1 core at 100% which is last epoch. Is there any settings to spread the load to other threads, it's really killing the frames

[placid plinth]

yes

[placid plinth]

no info sorry

[worn mountain]

I have some questions about manifest armor:

1. If my manifest armor has my Sunforged Cuirass does the weapons it spawns still get the bonuses from attunement and minion damage on my rings or belts?
2. If I have attunement on a helmet does the Manifest armor get the attunement bonus 4x if you have the the helmet 300% node on the skill?

[fiery bronze]

should i write a message to support so its on your radar?

[placid plinth]

!bug

[fiery lily]

To make sure a bug gets fixed, please post about it here: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports.

[placid plinth]

the manifest armor is its own actor and summoner. the things it summons are affected by its minion stats, now that's not your minion stats, that's its minion stats because the only way it can get minion stats for its minions is by minicing your gear that has minion stats on it. Anything it has that relies on other stats, relies on its stats, just like how yours would rely on your stats.

however, attunement (attributes in general) scaling doesn't apply to minion skills. So while it can have attributes, they don't do anything on minions.

[worn mountain]

thanks for the answer

[cobalt star]

Just wanted to chime in and ask a couple questions: Firstly thanks for making the game, been having a ton of fun since I started last thursday with my buddies. Here's my two very basic questions:
1.) I am not familiar with 11th hour games, is Last Epoch the only product you're currently supporting/working on?
2.) How big of a studio are you? (like size of development team wise)

[fresh cargo]

hi mike i asked this yesterday but sorta got an unclear "yes" in reponse to a binary question so to clarify again sorry a question on scaling tags. Shadow Daggers has both melee and throwing tag, does it double up bonuses ie from rogue node giving +16 to both, does it get +32?

[orchid birch]

If 11th hour ever makes an mmorpg I will play it also lol 🙂

[placid plinth]

Epoch is our first title. We formed the company specifically to make this game. I'm not actually sure how big the studio is right now. I think it's between 75-85 at the moment. And as someone who has been here from (very almost) the very beginning, it's very very strange to me that I don't know everyone's name and voice super well.

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, I don't know how else to answer this in more detail.
Yes, yes it does?

[acoustic bone]

Does the Warpath's "Way of the Cleric" activate the bonus from the Paladin's passive "Prayer" (Which requires you to be "healed"). "Way of the Cleric's" tooltip is indeed worded with "healed", but the description really sounds like health regen.

[fresh cargo]

ok cool. last time i asked like either/or format and got yes, i thought thats what you meant, but just wanted to make sure. thanks

[slow ivy]

Mike, is this discord channel your full time job atm, or are you working on other things as well?

[placid plinth]

I've made 2 PRs today thank you very much

[fresh cargo]

lmao

[placid plinth]

but yea, it's mostly in here

[orchid birch]

You are always replying in this channel, so everyone obviously appreciates that a lot lol ❤️

[placid plinth]

can you post way of the cleric to be sure? I think it works.

[sacred moth]

Question: Regarding Scoundrel's Umbral Blades - how is it intended to act, when the player has:
(1) Bladestorm talent
(2) Explode on melee-touch talent
(3) Adds a 3rd blade throw step, before 4th step Recall
I thought I might be able to throw the extra blades on my third cast (to get quicker bladestorms/multiples since they explode), but it seems the "no recall" part overwrites "can cast 3 times before recall"; in that the "no recall" removes step3 entirely, which means it just loops steps1+2, negating the other talent entirely

[fresh cargo]

a followup on tags, if you take the Armageddon node on Black Hole, the skill gains the Fire tag. however, im assuming this just means that Fire scaling applies to the meteor, and Cold scaling applies to the rest of black hole? it doesnt change the scaling of the whole skill right? and if not, then theres no real way to differentiate where a tag might be applying other than logic-ing it yourself? i saw someone say something about tags of the same type averaging or something weird too, which is what led to my question clarifying shadow daggers.

[placid plinth]

it is a heal that triggers "on hit"

[placid plinth]

can you post images of the referenced things, I don't know them all off the top of my head and exact wordings are important.

[acoustic drift]

hello i don't know if i can post this here but, what if after killing the boss "lagon" in the seafloor colosseum the portal does not appear?

[sacred moth]

@placid plinth Sorry! Here are the three talents in question

[abstract valley]

if i have healing effectifness on my idols does it increase leech rate?

[short root]

is plague a curse?

[acoustic bone]

What do you mean? The "Way of the Cleric" tooltip does in no way suggest the "heal" has anything to do with hits?

[fresh cargo]

i feel like answering half a dozen questions at once all the time has to be so stressful lol

[placid plinth]

When it's a single effect that has multiple tags like tempest strike having physical/cold/lightning, they are all split evenly. When a tag gets added on to a single effect and it's still like one thing like plasma ball in fireball, it's still split evenly. When a secondary type of effect is added, they are their own things and aren't necessarily evenly split. It's also a sub skill that's getting added on usually in this situation.

Increases to damage types only affect the actual damage it shares. So if you add fire tag to black hole, it will trigger for things like "when you cast a fire skill" but "x% increased fire damage will only scale the fire portion of the skill.

[fleet flume]

Did you guys ever talk about granting some amount of 'crafting potential' back when using a Glyph of Removal ? Would that be op?

[sacred moth]

Yeah this, right; I appreciate his efforts :3

[placid plinth]

!bug

[fiery lily]

Please post bug reports on our forum: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports. Thanks!

[ruby rose]

You get the third throw, but the Blade Thrower node before Bladestorm means you always throw one blade, so unless you're using the Flow passives all the throws are identical

[fresh cargo]

this is what i thought but wait, doesnt this contradict the shadow daggers response? is melee and thrown not also split evenly?

or are those not actually the same type like im thinking they would count as

[placid plinth]

sorry, that's just what the variable is called and I didn't look any further, I meant by "on hit" was like you have to be close enough to them to "hit" them.

[sacred moth]

Oh, I see; I'm an idiot who can't read - thanks! XD appreciate it :3
please make sure to take breaks, this has got to be stressful ❤️

[wooden bridge]

Does empowered monos work the same as the different tiers of dungeons, different loot can only be dropped in the empowered timeline

[placid plinth]

yes, yes

[fleet flume]

As in, yes & yes?

[placid plinth]

added damage applies individually at a flat rate

[wooden bridge]

Yes

[placid plinth]

yes, yes to both your questions

[fresh cargo]

ah, but increased damage would be split evenly then?

[acoustic bone]

Okay, that really does sound like it's a pulsating "heal", hitting anything friendly inside the Warpath's area, each second. Is there any way to know if it's qualified to activate the bonuses from the Paladin's "Prayer"?

[placid plinth]

yes

[placid plinth]

it says "healed"

[fresh cargo]

alright think i got the whole picture now. thanks!

[karmic crest]

Why can't we put added throwing damage on weapons? It alredy seems difficult to find a weapon for a throwing build, since there are no implicits supporting it.

[pearl kite]

Is the game balanced around having max resist after enemy pen (175% resist at area level 100) are having 0% resist after enemy pen (100% resist at level 100)?

[placid plinth]

a finger on the money's paw curls inward, a new set of throwing weapons is added to the game with up to +75 throwing damage....all throwing abilities have -75 throwing damage

[ruby rose]

There's plenty, such as flat crit, +1 lightning skills, % physical damage, etc

[placid plinth]

but seriously, you aren't throwing your weapon but you are smacking people with those weapons so they add melee damage

[karmic crest]

Sure for the implicit that makes sense, but explicits are magic, so everything is possible, isn't it?

[placid plinth]

it's 75% pen at level 75+
the game is balanced around you having 75% all resist
the pen is applied after resist cap is applied so if you have 75% all res or 8888888% all res, you have the same res.

[velvet leaf]

Hey Mike, is there any chance of loot pets that auto loot shards and gold coming to the game? You guys can give everyone a free one at the end of the campaign and sell mtx that reskins the pets. I sure as fuck would buy em even if it wasn't free. Is this something you guys would ever consider?

[placid plinth]

any chance? yes, please don't misunderstand this as "probably" though. the chance is crazy mega teeny tiny. also #suggestions-and-like-to-see

[lilac karma]

is it possible that the updates to flame reave bugged the skill more? I am now doing like 75% less damage with it after this update

[placid plinth]

yes

[steep escarp]

Any other changes made to flame reave which werent mentioned? I was playing 5 hours ago and just came back home, the AoE is half as big right now

[light matrix]

This node in Bone Curse. Does it apply the shred when I cast the spell, or when the target is being hit while cursed?

[placid plinth]

I have no information regarding recent Flame Reave changes

I always wondered why this was up for debate with the team? I've seen the devs say that autopickup and into crafting inventory shards is heavily debated, but why? It would just make it so we don't have to press the transfer button.

[placid plinth]

yes (bosses)

[orchid birch]

its still better than control clicking all of your currency in any shape way or form in poe lol

[placid plinth]

It's a very long story, I think if you search for me saying "the short version" or something like that it will give a longer answer

[karmic crest]

I get why you don't want to put throwing implicits on weapons, but my question was about explicits. Since explicits are magic, everything is possible, isn't it?

[pearl kite]

Are locations on mono completely random or is there a pattern? If I find a location that gives a weapon reward am I likely to find more giving weapons in that general location?

[placid plinth]

yea, that's more of theming than anything probably, gloves, rings, belts, amulets I think are the throwing slots?

[pastel shuttle]

Thanks, I searched the short version and I see your point now. Though I hope you guys change your point glad to see your side!

[karmic crest]

Yes

[placid plinth]

they are weighted based on distance from center. no adjacency restrictions. the only important thing is to get the best rewards, go far from the middle

Thanks, I'm trying to farm LP Hand of Judgement. But I'm off for the day, bye.

[light matrix]

I assume then that Cursed Ground or the Aura from the same skill only apply the affect as a Yes/No (IE if you are on the cursed ground/in the aura range than you are cursed, if not, then you are not cursed) then rather than applying the curse X times per second. Correct?

[placid plinth]

I'd probably have to test it to be sure but that sounds right

[light matrix]

Damn.

[placid plinth]

one of the veterans in #❔┃ask-the-community probably would know better

[light matrix]

Doing a minion build and wanted to abuse that node and/or the bleed node. But I really didn't want to have to spam the spell over and over and over and over on the same target.

I did ask last night, but there seemed to have been an argument going on and got drowned out.

[placid plinth]

sorry and I gave you a wrong answer this time, the armor shred is when the cursed target is hit

[naive otter]

does the amount of echo stability influence the echo reward?

[feral surge]

Does the Critical Opening shift node give the next skill +100% flat crit chance, or is it something else? Would it work to increase the hail of arrows damage with Tide of Darkness?

[placid plinth]

no

[light matrix]

Wait really? Well then, guess I'm building shred and bleed chances given the sheer number of minions...

[placid plinth]

no, it gives a charge of "next hit crits" and your next hit crits. I think this is reflected in the character sheet by your crit not going into the stresphere

[feral surge]

Thank you 🙂

[placid plinth]

yes, I looked it up in the mutator code

[light matrix]

Does the Marked For Death node in the same tree work the same way? Trying to mentally work out how to spread the points. Right now I have "On death cursed target has a chance to spawn Skeleton" and area size

As the point is "How big of a permanent army can I make?" is the point of my build.

[placid plinth]

no marked for death is just the initial application

[light matrix]

Ah, alright. Saves some points then.

[quartz pendant]

Does "Gaze of Orobyss" have any effect on orobyss' drops, or is it only a bonus to corruption?

[obtuse osprey]

Whats the 22mb patch for ?

[placid plinth]

Fixed a bug with the chat system that caused a hugely excessive amount of calls to our backend services (this shouldn’t change anything on the player side).

[obtuse osprey]

Ty

[placid plinth]

can I hit ya with an um actually? I'm gonna do it, um actually, Orobyss isn't in the game yet.

sorry, couldn't resist.

it's just corruption, the gaze is for boss kills I think right? it says what it does with a tooltip if you hover on the echo selection screen

[fresh cargo]

hey mike, question of curiosity, dying seems to be pretty inconsequential in softocre. when the game is out of beta are there going to be more penalties/dangers associated with death?

[trim tulip]

i would love to use the support tool to ask for help but my ticket has been open for over a day without an answer

[fresh cargo]

also when boss fighting in monoliths with a friend we can infinity teleport back into the boss arena by teleporting to each other directly and seem to get rewards just fine after dying, feels exploit-y

[south cedar]

Is Orobyss just a play on abyss and Oroboros?

[fossil dune]

IIRC This is going to be addressed

[short root]

does plague count as a curse when applied by spirit plague for the soul feast skill?

[fresh cargo]

good cause it feels really cheesy lol. i dont wanna play hardcore but i want death and failure to still have some weight.

[quartz pendant]

LOL. the gaze is earned by killing the timeline boss, and adds 8 bonus corruption (per timeline boss kill) when you kill orobyss without dying -- I was just wondering if it had any hidden effect on drops (like there is for the distance between the origin of the timeline and the orobyss node)

[trim tulip]

is this door ever gonna work or did i waste another key? anyone got a solution?

[south cedar]

It's a bug rn, it's gonna be fixed at some point soonish in the coming patches

[placid plinth]

maybe

[trim tulip]

i did manage to fight cremurus on t1 though

and my friend literally did t4

[ruby rose]

Hey Mike, I was researching potions, and it looks like drop chance is based on hits, not damage, but the article says "The rate that potions will drop from bosses is not a fixed chance. It is designed to avoid disparity between fast hitting builds and slow hitting builds." How exactly does this function? Is there a chance built into every skill including minions?
Here's the article for reference: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/potion-changes-coming-in-patch-0-7-4/16332

[placid plinth]

bosses just have a max potion drop rate is all (I don't know what it is)

[ruby rose]

So is it still triggered by reducing their health, then? Or can you hit them with low damaging attacks to trigger more potions?

[light matrix]

So, multiple sources of "X% to inflict Y status on hit" I assume they are additive with each other correct? IE having an unique armor that gives 40% bleed chance to minions and then hitting a target with bone curse for more bleed chance.

[placid plinth]

it has nothing to do with the damage they take

[placid plinth]

yes but bone curse is different and doesn't fall into that category

[fleet flume]

I've killed Lagon twice now, and someone else is also having the same issue. Is this guy unkillable atm?

[placid plinth]

I know you know the rule about bugs in here

[fleet flume]

yea, wouldnt mention it if it wasn't about the main story line

[sullen copper]

@placid plinth does armor shred have any effect for a skill such as flame reave that is Primarily fire / melee but not phyiscal?

[placid plinth]

ok I'll say it. Please report all bugs on the forums

!bug

[fiery lily]

Please post bug reports on our forum: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports. Thanks!

[light matrix]

Actually yes.

[placid plinth]

yes, armor shred applies to all hits

[sullen copper]

so flame reave will gain bonus from this?

not just fire penn?

[light matrix]

Armor affects non-physical at only 70% effectiveness but yes.

[sullen copper]

INTERESTING

ty

[placid plinth]

if you reduce a target's armor, they take more damage from all hits

[native pond]

Would you consider taking another look at flame reave, after the "fix" the range is so small that is barely usable. I get the damage nerf, not the range nerf

[light matrix]

So, assuming I maxed the bone curse node, that would be a 75% chance to bleed from the curse, and then a separate roll from my unique armor for 40% bleed chance. NOT just one roll of 115% chance to bleed. Correct?

[remote nexus]

hey
i wanted to know when the hitboxes of lagon will be fixed? i am playing a static charge build and they still are still not be able to hit him and the retaliation damage from flame ward cant hit him too. his hitbox problems were reprted over 2 years ago 😦

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, I don't have any control over this

[placid plinth]

yes

[placid plinth]

no eta. it has gone through many changes and improvements

[manic jungle]

should the axe look like the axe in the tooltip or is it supposed to look completely different? XD

[blissful swan]

Not all items have a 1 to 1 3d representation

for now

[placid plinth]

all unique weapons will look representative of the items but not all are right yet

[native pond]

Thank you for the answer !

[light matrix]

Alright then. Is Bone Curse the only example where that's how things work and generally it's just add the %s together and that's the final result? Or are minions just 'special'?

[placid plinth]

yes, yes, no

[light matrix]

Awesome.

[sullen gulch]

Is it a bug that loading into an echo doesn't give grace period? Or that mobs can be spawned near the entrance? My hc character died loading into an echo

[light matrix]

I have no idea how effective it's going to be, but I'm curious on how many "Inflict X" I can throw on my army.

[wheat hill]

Liath's Machinations gloves convert 50% base fireball damage to lightning, the node plasma ball, also converts 50% base fireball to lightning, my fireball has now lost its fire tag, has a lightning tag, but isnt scaling with % lightning damage but IS scaling with fire% even though its lacking the fire tag......intended or bug?

[native pond]

I also has Another question regarding Void Knight. Since your recent change in 0.9, melee damage is now not "physical" but "adaptive". The type will adapt depending on the tag of the spell, right ? So having ways to change a spell tag would be very beneficial, afaik, Void Knight has actually no builder that can have the Void tag (Rive, multistike, spear, vengeance ect)

I've tried a few times to launch the game but keep getting this, do you know if I'm fine to play?

[placid plinth]

just to be clear melee damage doesn't help spells

but yes changing the ability tags to void does change the damage from implicits that don't have a damage type

[light matrix]

I'm sure I could bully my sentinel friend into playing a paladin, but may I ask why I'm abusing people first?

[placid plinth]

please don't post #support questions here. this is a steam issue relating to your offline save data

is the 0.9 c / d patch out? i dont have a update button in the steam app , and when launched it shows 0.9b on the launcher page?

Hey @placid plinth , will a future patch fix for being able to use skills while in towns for multiplayer, and will test dummies return?

[blissful swan]

You have dummies in champions gate left of heoborea

[placid plinth]

it's not a bug so it won't be fixed. If you have #368968647114227723 on the matter you can put it there. the dummies are in champion's gate in heoborea

and someone already answered that

[native pond]

I had a question regarding "Hybrid" skill with double type. For example Flame reave with Fire and Lightning tag. Damage is split 50 lightning / 50fire with the convert node. How does it interract with weapon damage. Do you apply 100% weapon damage to fire and 100% weapon damage to lightning ? Only 50 ? What about added fire and lightning damage, do they apply twice (I assume not). How does it works with elemental damage, does it double dip ?

[placid plinth]

skills with multiple tags have the untyped added damage from implicits applied evenly between each. so +100 melee damage to a hybrid fire/lightning melee ability would give 50 lightning and 50 fire damage.

added fire damage applies added fire damage

added lightning damage applies added lightning damage

there is no added elemental damage

increased elemental damage increases the damage of each by that rate (it doesn't double dip)

I just figured out the missing piece for you. When the ability hits, it calculates each of the fire and lightning damage individually and applies all the relevant bonuses to each.

[native pond]

Alright then what is the design behind having dual type elements. I don't see the upside. The downside is obvious since you have to build for 2 elements (or use elemental damage which is not as beneficial as going full fire), and shock for example would only work on half the damage. I'am just trying to wrap my head around it and understand what's the benefit for having dual type

[native pond]

Alright, this is perfect, thank you !

[placid lodge]

Wondering if I can ask a question about the devs thought process for balancing. I am very curious why crit avoidance was taken away from base gear for sentinels. It would make sense for the guy covered in plate armor to be harder to have an attack hit a weak spot, wouldn't it? Was there some passive or other skill that sentinels had that made it too good for them to have on base gear? For the record, this is not an attack or anything, I am just genuinely curious.

[placid plinth]

usually it's a thematic reason, sometimes it's just because you have effects that trigger off of each and you need to have both effects. sometimes your target is resistant to one and having a split helps get around that. you can focus hard on one half and not the other too.

[native pond]

Alright thank you for answering this 🙂

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry I can't give any insight into that one, it was done by someone else. Generally when we are balancing, we are looking to create as many options of viable paths to play at a high level so people can focus more on what theming they like and what mechanics are fun than what the most optimal perfect thing is as much as possible. We will try to pull mega OP builds down to just top tier and bring poo poo garbage builds up to at least decent I think it's important to note that every patch we see builds that we never intended to enable

[misty jay]

is there an issue with blessing choices? i just almost picked the wrong one, did not confirm my choice, hit the new one and hit replace and it didn't pick the new one

poo poo garbage builds might be the funniest thing I've heard today 😛

Question about your QA role.

I don't have experience shipping games or in Unity, but I'm very eager to learn these skills! I've been in primarily client-facing positions that require a lot of tech know-how and problem solving skills. Would you and the team still be open to seeing an application from me?

[placid plinth]

I don't do any hiring anymore but if you're interested in one of the posted roles, please apply for it.

[sand moat]

Will do!

[misty jay]

i'm not 100% certain it bugged out or what just happened i'd have to see a replay lol i'll "try" to recreate it

[unborn tulip]

idc if arena keys are suppose to be common, this is a fucking joke

[placid plinth]

take it down a notch, this is not an appropriate place for #368968647114227723 . If you have a question about the game, I'll be happy to answer it.

[sullen copper]

@placid plinth is flame reave's width working as intended?

[unborn tulip]

so you dont see the problem with 5 arena keys in a monolith and not a single dungeon key at all?

[placid plinth]

no idea

[bold beacon]

monolith rewards don't currently drop dungeon keys

[placid plinth]

well, considering dungeon keys can't spawn as a monolith node reward, no, I don't see the problem

[unborn tulip]

why cant they

[sullen copper]

once u get to empowered you'll have more than enough keys....

[placid plinth]

because we didn't think it was necessary as they are a guaranteed boss drop reward and can be found with decent regularity from killing mobs

[magic flax]

Do Storm Crow nodes that give generic "more damage" apply also to Crowstorm companion ability, or that ability is modified only by nodes that specifically talk about it?

[unborn tulip]

what boss drops them?

[placid plinth]

every timeline boss drops at least 1 dungeon key

[placid plinth]

yes

[unborn tulip]

if u mean the last boss of the 3rd quest echo then i dont think so, i have killed 1 boss so far, and havent gotten a key

[native pond]

Do you have any insight on why void cleave is only usable with 2H sword and Axe, and not 2H mace. I'd love to see this usable with a 2H staff aswell, especially since it's so much nicer as a traversal skill than lunge that needs a target

[meager vale]

i got a bunch of them and if they wasnt bugged i would have much more, much more than i will ever do btw

[placid plinth]

yes

[placid plinth]

thematics

[magic flax]

Wait yes as in they apply to crowstrom, i imagine

[meager gorge]

I just killed one like 2 min ago and didn't get one. Not sure if it's bugged or not 100%

[meager vale]

its only from empowered or the normal monolith boss drops too ?

[placid plinth]

yes

I might be getting confused, it might be empowered guaranteed only. I really don't think so though

[meager vale]

bc, from the empowered i think i always got one, but i dont remember from the normal ones

[magic flax]

Ok, but i imagine not minion damage, since its a skill "you use"

[meager gorge]

Roger

[placid plinth]

no, it's the minions doing the damage. you're commanding your minions to do something specific

[native pond]

I do gets that thematics are important but since there is absolutely no 2H sword or axe in game that gives decent Spell damage, this just cut this spell from being used at all if you wanna play spell void knight. I understand the 2H reasoning behind it tho, and the fact that it "cleave" means the weapon need an "edge"

[magic flax]

hmm ok, it says in lastepochtools that the skill (crowstorm) scales with attunement and lightning damage, not minion.. so minion damage increases as well Crowstorm damage?

[native pond]

Thank you for the answer

[placid plinth]

I'll go check

[unborn tulip]

has the bug with the orange shard in timeline quests been fixed

i remember sometimes not getting loot from them

[mystic musk]

i do wonder what the rationale is behind spears being unable to void cleave, though. many of the later spear bases definitely look like they ought to be able to

[placid plinth]

no info on bugs here

[placid plinth]

that was a back and forth one, we figured axes and swords were just more on brand

[orchid birch]

Need more halberds....just being silly 🙂

[south wolf]

is there an ETA for when we can play 3/4 man parties without problems?

[blissful swan]

Would be cool to get a 2handed spell damage axe base, would fit in some nice niche builds

[tropic basin]

What are the opinions on item type locked skills like Serpent Strike? Any more planned?

[placid plinth]

the base damage is 80, it scales as a minion ability, no player ability starts that high I don't think oh well, meteor is actually 180, so maybe

[stiff solstice]

This? Fixed a bug where a reward rock could incorrectly appear after completing a Quest Echo in offline (Quest Echoes don’t have echo completion rewards).

[placid plinth]

of the remaining skills to go in the game for 1.0, 2 have weapon requirements I think

[south wolf]

is there an ETA for when we can play 3/4 man parties without problems?

[placid plinth]

no, as soon as we can

[unborn tulip]

Mike do you think more elemental versions of the forms would be a possibility in the future, like fire swarm or poison bear etc

[orchid birch]

That is a loaded general question, that almost has no meaning lol

[sullen copper]

@placid plinth is there any thought into turning OFF skill effects from teamates? as well as their damage indicators?

[meager gorge]

What problems were there?

[placid plinth]

it's possible, each class has specific element archetypes primary and secondary. fire is a tertiary element for primalist so it shows up very very rarely. Poison is pretty heavily represented by swarmblade and on spriggan form too. Adding either to werebear is unlikely but not impossible

[low peak]

Is Fire Aura supposed to be a main "skill" for a build or there is currently not enough support for that? Or maybe that is not a design decision

[orchid birch]

The fact that you all basically rewrote the game to be server authoritative and its working for the most part very well is amazing, you all should be proud.

[south wolf]

desync

[placid plinth]

it's not designed as a primary build mechanic but people are sure trying hard to make it one. and kinda succeeding a bit too

[placid plinth]

yes. will it happen? no idea

[sullen copper]

thankgoodness

XD

[south wolf]

unable to play the game its so bad. 2 players is fine but as soon as 3 or 4 people start playing its unplayable

[unborn tulip]

I hope it becomes a thing later because bear having lightning yet it barely changes anything IMO feels kinda boring, an ice bear would def be a cool look for the form, and also a lightning or fire spriggan would be dope

[meager gorge]

You can make some sick builds that use it

[orchid birch]

There are many levels to desync, you have the server, then you have the services providing continuity to the actual servers, then you have the players actual ISP...thats a way loaded question that you almost can't ansawer because of so many variables lol.

Would you consider changing the way Ward is displayed ? It's kinda confusing atm having 3k ward. At 3k i'am full, at 2.1k i'am missing 30% and at 1999, i'am back to full. Could we have a slider where we can choose what the max could display (for example, I set up to 3k as max bar, and everything above won't show, it'll be full, but will start to decline only if I drop below 3000 and decline steadily)

don't think so, pretty sure corruption is just they get stronger and you get more stuff

thanks for responding

[light matrix]

I assume that's not going to change.

[placid plinth]

you would probably be wrong in the long run

[dark rover]

If you convert Surge to cold, the node says "base lightning damage", does this include or exclude the +10 lightning damage on the left side of the tree next to the start (Shocking Blows)?

[light matrix]

Ah, just not going to change soon, as I imagine it's far more complex to code them being dynamic that way.

[mint spoke]

Lich passive "Hollow Lich" converts all sources of health leech to dmg at 10 times the value. Drain Life says it leeches 30% of its dmg as life, does that mean it instead does 300% increased dmg? Also, if I took its "Lay Waste" node so it doesn't leech health would I lose that dmg? Would it also null any other leech->dmg on the tree I take?

[placid plinth]

yes

[turbid drum]

does Swipe's "twin fangs" critical strike multiplier apply to sabertooth? the wording on it seems to imply that it's not part of aspect of the panther, so I would assume not

[low peak]

Such as?

[maiden brook]

If i take the helmet that converts wolves to squirrels, would the nodes that trigger howl now trigger the squirrel frenzy skill?

[blissful swan]

yes

[maiden brook]

Sweet

[livid sandal]

do the arena champions have an equal chance to spawn either one or are they weighted? cuz in 16 runs i only got the rogue twice

[placid plinth]

it converts your leech stats, not inherent effects of an ability.

[mint spoke]

Ahhh that makes a lot of sense. Thanks

Please avoid general comments or discussions in this channel. If you have a game related question for me, I'll be happy to answer it. Sephyrus and CookBook, lookin at you

[thorny plinth]

Is flat crit chance from critical vulnerability added before or after inc crit chance calculation?

[mint spoke]

The "all sources" got me confused

[coral crane]

Is vessel of memory (the one that reverse the completion of ehoes) changed somehow? I might be wrong, but before it only changed the echo reward status so i could pick what i like again, now the connections between echoes are also reverted, so basically I need to run whole web again which make little sense

[dark rover]

A follow up question, do you guys plan to make the tooltips dynamic like that? So when there is a conversion happening, that all nodes that could affect it, change their text? - Unsure if even possible or something of course.

[placid plinth]

would have to see the node, doesn't sound like it

[placid plinth]

rng be rng

[placid plinth]

after (the bad way)

[thorny plinth]

Thanks

[placid plinth]

hasn't changed

[placid plinth]

no, base ability tooltips already do this

[unborn tulip]

mike when im looking at the runes there are the 2 last ones i dont have a single of, are they not fully added into the game or is their drop chance just that low?

[flat sky]

Probably asked already, but is there an expected cadence for patches? Roughly 8 or 9 days, looks like between the earlier patches. I guess I'm more curious if that is going to change given MP or not.

[wooden bridge]

Low

[placid plinth]

they are quite rare

[sullen copper]

@placid plinth are there plans or ideas for having runes auto picked up?

[wooden bridge]

Does Cast Speed have any interaction with cooldown skills specifically Traversal ones? Bothers me that I see the damage go up on it when I up my cast speed even though I know in reality it more than likely does nothing lol.

[placid plinth]

hotfixes will continue to roll out as needed. there have already been 2 today and the patch was 5 days ago, so I'm not sure where 8 or 9 days is coming from.

The next major patch 0.9.1 will be out roughly the same as our previous patch cadence for the 0.8.x patches

[unborn tulip]

What do they even do?

[placid plinth]

no

[meager gorge]

Mike is there an internal cooldown on this proccing off of lunge? It seems to not work a bunch of the time. I'm not sure if this is intended or a bug. apologies if this is a bug.

[placid plinth]

one makes the item unique and the other copies an item

[placid plinth]

technically yes, crazy tiny though

[orchid birch]

I know this is still a bit off question, and im just generally asking with no expectation, are our current chars basically going to be like standard league, and then there will be seasons? If you arent sure its no big deal was just curious of the teams current train of thought.

[flat sky]

Was from the 0.8 patches, admittedly fairly low sample size on the 4-5 that I checked 😄 Thanks for the info though.

What's the idea behind having to click to transfert crafting material into their own stash ? I see so much new people confused about it, and I don't see the point

[placid plinth]

no

[unborn tulip]

Is there any ideas to possibly make unique items more unique for the class that you are playing when it drops, like its more focused on that class with its stats instead of it just being all over the place?

[feral surge]

As the tooltip says, the trigger chance is based on distance travelled, so it doesnt work if you melee lunge.

[placid plinth]

cycles yes, current -> standard
not like PoE leagues, content universal

For example for Spirit plague, does having cast speed increase the dot tick, or spread time. Any caster with direct damage can scale their damage with cast speed (if they can sustain the mana) but lich has so many dots, cast speed feels wasted on them, even tho it makes the gameplay so smooth

[placid plinth]

technically yes but no is the helpful answer

[native pond]

Oh i'd love a long version of this answer if you have the time 😄

[placid plinth]

you cast the spell that starts the dot faster, technically that helps a worthless amount

[native pond]

Alright fair enough, and I read your answer about the crafting material, I see your point

[neat elbow]

quick question if this is the right spot, is the fleshbound tome available in the gambler? Spent 100k plus gold and have not seen one yet

[placid plinth]

no

[neat elbow]

Ok so just a random drop then. thanks

[thorny plinth]

Can I get clarification if this node is additive or multiplicative in terms of damage reduction (all other DR nodes in game say they are multiplicative besides this one)

[placid plinth]

multiplicative

[native pond]

@placid plinth Could you clarify Lasting stench node for the lich ? Does it applu only to poison "Ailment" or Poison damage aswell from "plague" Ailment for example (not spirit plague)

[placid plinth]

all poison damage, not just the ailment

[cursive minnow]

What are the penalties, if any, are there for being a 30(or any significant level difference) level difference between the host and a party member to dropped loot and/or experience?

[native pond]

Duration aswell ?

[placid plinth]

no, the duration refers to the ailment

[north raft]

Will there be a way to test multiple builds like in D3 a clothing dresser or anything where u can change your build , saving the levels etc from all the spells , so u can change the build , since i would love to support my mates more but also have a good solo build , but for that i need to replay the game 2 times even tho i wanna just play the paladin... making it pretty annoying lvling 2 paladins for this

[teal trail]

@placid plinth i have found a very very very serious bug
i am in a party with a friend, i am the party leader
and WHEN HE is using glyphs of shattering or other crafting materials IT IS USING MINE
if he uses a glyph of ascendance it leaves his intact and uses mine first
it takes some time for my inventory to update so i didn't immediately notice
but i figured it out when i almost ran out of runes of shattering without having shattered anything recently
we went into a monolyth, my friend shattered 10 items and a couple minutes later my runes went down by 10

[placid plinth]

if you are more than 10 levels underleveled to the zone (not the party leader) you gain xp as though the zone was 10 levels above your level instead.

[native pond]

Alright thank you

[azure escarp]

how is multiplayer monoliths since the update? i know before i would invite someone and they would join adn crash a few times? is that a issue still?

[placid plinth]

we have no plans to make a D3 style armory system at this time. please feel free to leave a #suggestions-and-like-to-see

[placid plinth]

please report all bugs on the forums

[fiery lily]

Please post bug reports on our forum: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports. Thanks!

[placid plinth]

you can also check there to see if someone else has reported it (they have)

and you can add your info to their post

[placid plinth]

I have no information on the status of bugs

[teal trail]

i know

but ti's rather serious

my runes of ascendance gone

[cursive minnow]

I just don't want to ruin my buddies campaign loot and experience if I join him on my main. So its irrelevant that we have a large level difference between us, but it matters individually what our level is with respect to the zone? Thanks again for your help!

[placid plinth]

I know but the rules are also rather serious

[placid plinth]

it only affects your own experience gain, that's it. you can't "grief" someone by joining their game other than they have to now carry you

[wooden bridge]

does basic increased critical strike chance affect spells as well

[placid plinth]

yes, it affects hits

[harsh meadow]

@placid plinth sorry for ask this, but if i play offline mode (steam), if i lost my pc, i will lost my characteres offline?

[placid plinth]

yes

steam sync might save you though

[snow aspen]

is the mana cost increase % based on the base mana cost or the current mana cost of the skill (with minus flat mana cost mods in mind)?

[ocean patrol]

So where is this game developed that is uses both 'armor' and 'armour'? Not too fun having to remember to have to search for both wordings.

[muted topaz]

Bug or Feature -> You can teleport to a friend in the End of Time at level 1, to get a mastery (and the extra skill)? This allows you to level from 3 (you get a level or two) with Werebear, Storm Totem, etc

[placid plinth]

feature

[muted topaz]

Thanks Mike

[placid plinth]

all over the world

[winter raptor]

Will shards always have to be click to pick up?

[placid plinth]

it is multiplicative based on the wording "costs more mana"

[placid plinth]

unsure, always is a long time

[fossil dune]

Standard non-committal vague Mike answer to say "no plans to change right now"

[placid plinth]

ok I'm heading out for the night right after you post that muffin

[snow aspen]

I meant more along the lines of: If the base cost is 8 mana and i have a wand with -3 mana costs. Does this 33% increase go off of the 5 cost or 8?

[placid plinth]

5

[snow aspen]

Thank you!

[placid plinth]

Somehow this is still super active today. It's great to see all the good questions coming through.

[winged lichen]

[mild oyster]

Would I be right in assuming that the tooltip dps on proc only skills (like dragonfire) is assuming you are just hard casting the skill yourself and this does not include proc rate? If it's a spell, does it factor in attack speed?

[placid plinth]

yes, however it also doesn't take into account a ton of stuff so it should be ignored.

[mild oyster]

Fair enough. I was simply trying to compare two slightly differently rolled dragonsongs. Even in that case it's probably not useful info?

[placid plinth]

moderately useful in that situation maybe

[rigid flame]

the game guide says

Keep a look out for some special potions.

are there plans for more potion types that have mechanical effects, or is it just the "beer" easter egg?

[buoyant trail]

When comparing item upgrades for damage - is there a better way than just swapping wands and looking at my Lightning Blast tooltip dps? Or any ability that you would normally spam-cast at high volume.

[placid plinth]

we don't plan to have mechanically unique potions. We try to put unique potion effects on your belt slot. It is possible that we might do an alternative use-on-pickup globe thingy in the future to get a similar effect I guess.

It's also not just the "beer" easter egg....there is another....

[placid plinth]

not really, that's what I do

[hidden vine]

Hey Mike, i left a feedback, not sure if was suppost to be a feedback or a question for the devs

the hp from final boss in monoliths seens way overtuned compared to everything else that happens inside the monolith

its suppost to be that way?

[placid plinth]

we are pretty happy with the challenge that the monolith bosses pose at the moment

[low peak]

Hey Mike, do you have any new information about Flame Reave since yesterday? Is the damage/aoe bugged or nerfed? Was it just buffed by accident before the hotfix?

[placid plinth]

no info

[grave sphinx]

how global is the global chat? both me and my friend are on eu-west and can't see each others messages

[placid plinth]

it is supposed to be global (for your language selection).

[lofty umbra]

Why can't we compare offhand equipped items?

[scenic cove]

Was it a design choice to make Mage's Teleport not be able to traverse obstacles, while teleport node in Focus skill and also in Smite both can do that?

[steady ridge]

how exactly does crit vuln work from marksman tree?

my original understanding was it was just added to your base crit, so max stacks took you from 5% to 25% crit chance base, but i'm reading in some guides from community members that it is added after your increases to your own base, making your "crit cap" 80% instead of 100%

[placid plinth]

because we haven't added that yet

[placid plinth]

no, they should all behave similarly

[placid plinth]

once you have done your crit calculations, you add on crit vulnerability

[cerulean nymph]

Which one is intended for blinks, limited range?

[lofty umbra]

Do you think it will be in the game before launch or is it something you feel isn't really necessary?

[buoyant trail]

Not sure if bug or not. This ability gives up to 5 increases to Increased Cast Speed, I watched it go up on Character screen. However the buff icon stacks multiple instances up to 40-45 before the decay equilizes the gain rate.

[placid plinth]

limited gap jumping

[placid plinth]

I don't know if it will be in by 1.0 or not

[placid plinth]

Are unique drops weighted towards the class you are playing like idols?
I'm trying to farm the helmet for the sunforged set and I wonder if i'd have more luck by getting the Forge Guard up and running

[placid plinth]

no

[karmic sluice]

If I give a manifest armor a weapon with "increased minion spell damage", will it double count that damage percentage? Once for me giving the weapon to the minion and another time for the minion itself? Or would the minion's spells have their own tags that potentially did not include a minion tag?

[scenic cove]

Thanks for all your hard work Mike, on the game and in discord)
I've got another question for you - do magic/rare monsters have some modifiers other then their mods we can see? Like does rare Giant Scorpion have the same stats as normal one? Or does being rare/magic add something by itself?

[torpid cloud]

Hi Mike regarding the Hand of Judgment questions from last night, we did some testing and nothing is correct XD.

Healing effectiveness does not increase the damage of consecrated ground although it is indicated on the tooltip.

Consecrating's area of effect will increase with attunment while it's not mentioned in the glove tooltip.

In addition we realized that we can equip a weapon, we keep the area of effect given by the attunment on consecrating and the damage of the weapon.

Could you please tell us what is a bug or if it is intended? we don't want to exploit the game.

[past bolt]

Hey Mike, has EHG announced (ahead of time) if LE will go on sale tomorrow for the steam spring sale? (Asked this in general and it was suggested i ask you here)

[still juniper]

what does "reduces by -5 corruption" mean ? pls

increase by 5 ?

[placid plinth]

no double dip
the manifest armor would have the spell damage from it being a minion and then would get the stat "increased minion spell damage" to use on any minions it then summons.

[placid plinth]

no

[placid plinth]

if you think you might have found a bug, please report it on the forums

!bug

[fiery lily]

To make sure a bug gets fixed, please post about it here: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports.

[placid plinth]

as far as I know it will not

[placid plinth]

it means you'll drop your corruption by 5, I know the wording is clunky

[torpid cloud]

im not sure that's why i ask ^^ and with the same occasion we want to know what is intented or not ^^

[placid plinth]

I don't know

[torpid cloud]

Ok thanks

[still juniper]

oh ok thanks ! but why is that ? shouldn't I want to increase it ?

[placid plinth]

attunement affects concecrated ground by default that I can tell you

[placid plinth]

you can get into a situation where it's getting a little too high so you can do the shade near the center and it will drop it to alleviate some pressure

[torpid cloud]

thank you!

[still juniper]

i'm only at +11 and blasting through it, I thought I could go way higher so I'm surprised ^^

[placid plinth]

Scaling:
Per point of Strength
4% increased Damage
Per point of Attunement
4% increased Damage
4% Increased Healing Effectiveness

[placid plinth]

look for nodes bigger distance from the center

[torpid cloud]

yes but in this situation it increases the area of effect of consecrated aura via the unique Hand of Justice gloves ^^ that's why i ask ^^

[young kelp]

is there some gameplay reason I am not seeing that once we pickup crafting affix materials that we need to click a button in inventory to send it to the crafting inventory? I cant think of any reason you wouldnt just transfer those items directly there.

[placid plinth]

search this channel for "the short version" from me, will have to go back a few now because I keep telling people to search for that

[low peak]

Any plans to introduce Legendary Potential (or a counterpart) for Set items? Maybe a different mechanic for another dungeon...

[young kelp]

I get picking them up i dont still dont get the need for a button in the inventory to add them to the crafting inventory. Still enjoy the game just feel like its a click not needed.

[placid plinth]

LP, no, something else that kinda does something kinda similar ish, maybe

[scarlet swift]

Hello! I was wondering if the Berserker node from the Primalist tree comes into effect for one shots too? Or do I need to be below 35% for it to come in effect?

[placid plinth]

don't think so (74% confident)

[scarlet swift]

Haha, thank you!

[still juniper]

ok I found a +2 one, i'll keep going to find higher ones if possible 🙂 thanks !

[karmic crest]

Do you get any work done or are you full time Q&A now?

[placid plinth]

I've been getting fixes out the door at the same time, little slower than I'd like.

[brittle oxide]

please help to understand what this means?

are they enraged but more angry? 🙂
enraged on more\less then 50%?
more enrage effect?
or just nothing but a miss by QA team?

[placid plinth]

you have two of the same mod, it should probably be combined

[brittle oxide]

thats mine question, what is the combined effect? when its more damage, health, crit - its clear and obvious

but what does two identical enrage on half life do

[astral reef]

press alt when hovering over echo

[placid plinth]

enrage is a state of being, at half health, they enrage

[dusty furnace]

do skills with the "melee" tag (like sentinel warpath) count as "melee attack" (like the passiv node from paladin that has a 20% chance to cast a smite-like spell on „melee attack“)

[karmic crest]

If I change Acid Flask from poison to fire and then get +1 to Fire Skills, does that get apllied to the Acid Flask?

[tropic basin]

In cases like this, you can tell it by looking at the tags. Does the Acid Flask get fire tag? If so, yes.

[karmic crest]

Yes it does

[tropic basin]

There is your answer

[karmic crest]

Nice

[placid plinth]

yes

[karmic crest]

If I get a modifier that says "+x% Attack and Cast Speed", but doesn't explicitly mention throwing speed, can I still ecpect that to count for throwing skills?

[left chasm]

does the stun immunity after teleporting, granted from an idol, get effected by the buff duration increase in the teleport skill tree?

[placid plinth]

yes, (don't forget about the search function in here)

[placid plinth]

no (had to check)

[crisp grove]

Hello, when creating a character for HC it says if the character dies you will no longer be able to access HC mode. How come when the character dies it is moved to HC Solo rather than SC multiplayer?

[placid plinth]

there is a display bug which shows you still in hardcore solo. It is just a display bug, you are in SC multiplayer

[crisp grove]

Ooooooh damn, didn't know. Thanks, Mike!

[brittle oxide]

is that intended, that mobs on arena type echoes drop like 1% fraction of loot then any other echo type, while also taking same or more time to clear?

[placid plinth]

yes

[brittle oxide]

but they not always have "arena" in name? or do they? how to completely avoid them?

[placid plinth]

they always have arena in the name

[onyx jasper]

I think I've read that increasing your timeline corruption increases the chance for timeline specific echoes, e.g. unique or set helms. Is this true and if so is there a corruption soft cap/hard cap to this effect?

[brittle oxide]

is there by any chance a plan to make summoned minions persistent through log-off?

I mean, change to mage skelly with new passive that gives army teleport, is amazing, easily one of best latest changes to classes, making necro much much more viable mapper. But. On every log-on re-summoning mages only takes up to minute of time of doing nothing but watching cooldown back and force... pain to say the least

[placid plinth]

yes, it probably tapers off but I don't know what that is, given when other things happen, likely around the 300-500 range (which I know is huge)

[cursive sparrow]

a lil question abt scaling on this one, couldnt find Aura as a subskill neither on LE tools or tunklabs...which is kinda sus. Does it scale with any kind of flat damage, cause it doesnt include any mentioning of spell...so does that mean that flat throwing damage will apply to it? or its cant get any more flat damage from anything

[placid plinth]

not at the moment

[rare marsh]

Anyone knows where you can download the launcher off steam. Didnt buy the game on steam and all the links send me to the steam page.

[ocean sorrel]

when the factions release, if you play offline does it just default to the fortune one?

[flint furnace]

Has anyone used Scales of Ettera yet? trying to figure out if it dropping my lighting %dmg to negatives from base 624% is normal

[low peak]

teleporting outside of an instance (town portal) then back to it completely reset it. Is this intended or just a current limitation?

[placid plinth]

it's a void spell dot, scales with void, spell and generic increases to damage

[placid plinth]

we aren't quite sure how we are going to handle that yet. it will need to still happen at the same point in the campaign but will probably just have MG greyed out or something

[placid plinth]

we do plan to add a method by which you can convert some affix shard into another at some loss ratio

[placid plinth]

#❔┃ask-the-community

[placid plinth]

it's the way it has to be for now

[tall geyser]

Is the smart loot we have for items in general, not something that impacts uniques at all then? I.e. not more likely to get aarons will on a necro/lich, than on a sentinel?

[reef rock]

Does this node double dip if you're using echoes with a void knight?

E.G : Normal rive 3 = 100 dmg amplified by node (15%) = 115 dmg, then, rive 3 echoed is 115 dmg * 1.15 = 132.25 damage

[placid plinth]

yes

[placid plinth]

no, almost nothing ever double dips

[granite iron]

Are there any plans to allow us to swap our Blessings to any from each timeline we've previously discovered? Ex. I have 5% Experience Gain unlocked and next time replace it with 39% Gold Drop Rate. Now I can swap between those two in town without having to rerun the timeline?

[severe vortex]

does rune of ascendance have same odds to give items lp as natural drops?

[scarlet swift]

Does endurance work against one shots?

[placid plinth]

yes

[scarlet swift]

Ty!

[placid plinth]

yes

[placid plinth]

no plans to do that. you can make a #suggestions-and-like-to-see if you'd like

[molten zealot]

Is there a way to tell how far distances are in the game? For example with "Distant Spark" i need to be at least 4m away, but I dont know how far that is visually on the screen.

[opal sleet]

@placid plinth So Afterglow passive reads: Increased spell damage; Doubled if you’ve used a skill that costs 40 mana recently ... is this wording wrong or does it need to be 40 mana exact?

[placid plinth]

not really, it's about half the size of the ring around the dummies in champion's gate

[placid plinth]

it can be more than 40

[reef rock]

So just to clarify, echoes damage is not affected by nodes that increase the base skill damage?

[placid plinth]

no, didn't say that, it is affected but it is affected once, only the second time in your scenario, not the 1st

[reef rock]

Oh okay thanks!

[molten zealot]

thanks, will go check it out 👍

[dusty mortar]

When the factions gets added, will there be a reset or will it be trade ontop of our current progress?

[scarlet swift]

Does the Magma Shards from Volcanus scale with your gear?

[placid plinth]

it is possible that it might coincide with a ladder and cycle reset but you will still be able to use the existing characters in "standard" with the item factions system enabled

[placid plinth]

yes, fire spell

[dusty mortar]

yea okay cool, added with a cycle make a lot of sense but wanted to ask

[rotund wave]

+%X per uncapped X resistance regards to the resistance over the cap or am I misunderstanding?

[scarlet swift]

Thank you! This channel is amazing. Thank you so much for your work

[granite iron]

Thanks. That's disappointing, I figured the nice Blessing UI was headed towards something like that. Grinding the blessings/rolls you want the first time is fun, but having to do it again if you want to change to a different item drop type or something just seems unnecessary now that there's a more fleshed out endgame loop

[placid plinth]

it might not too

[random fox]

Is the Skeleton Mage Node "Underlings" or "Macabre Waltz" that casts sacrifice on minions, supposed to scale off my Sacrifice Tree? I can note that the Volatile Zombie node "Grand Sacrifice" or Transplant's "Transfusion" sacrifices scale off it, is this intended?

[placid plinth]

it's whatever the number would be if the cap didn't exist

[placid plinth]

I meant in the #suggestions-and-like-to-see channel

[placid plinth]

no, zombies scaling is fine

[rotund wave]

so for example 1% ward retention per 1% uncapped cold resistance at 120% cold resistance would be 120% ward retention?

[placid plinth]

yes

[rotund wave]

okay, thanks!

[severe vortex]

there is a map modifier called "enemies have a chance to dodge" without any numbers. what is the value on that and do they stack?

[placid plinth]

sorry, don't know

[still juniper]

Quick question, the passive point Frost Bites is supposed to convert physical to cold and cold bonus should apply to Locus Swarm but it still has the Physical tag and no Cold tag, is the passive not working or it's just the tooltip not changing ?

[severe vortex]

julra's stardial mentions "time travel skills". what skills qualify as time travel skills? i cannot find any like "time travel" tag or any info in ingame wiki, the ring itself doesnt say it either

[regal seal]

Hello, is it normal that when my brother asks the support why he didn't get the bonuses linked to the purchase of the game before version 0.9 (such as the Juvenille Skullen cosmetic companion or the Ardent Gladiator forum badge) he is told twice that there is a bug with the bagpack?

[opaque falcon]

@placid plinth so there will be scrout or command to display time ?

[karmic stirrup]

I'm not talking about the backpack, but the other rewards

I'm talking about that :

YOUR PURCHASE INCLUDES

Juvenille Skullen cosmetic companion to follow you around through the world of Eterra
Ardent Gladiator forum badge showing your early support
350 Cosmetic Coins to purchase in-game cosmetic items at release
Full digital soundtrack at release

#support knows more about this than I do, if they said something, it's better than any answer I can give. there are several elements that are not available in game yet from all different packs. the skullen pet should be available in game.

[placid plinth]

no, it will just display

[strange tusk]

Greetings, Mike. Question: do ricocheting shurikens home in to the closest enemy behind the intended target or can they bounce off at a different angle? Trying to figure out whether there's a bug related to secondary projectiles or not.

[placid plinth]

nearest, tries to find a new target

[strange tusk]

How short is their seek radius? Seems like ricochets only trigger when mobs are really densely packed, and I've yet to see more than one actual ricochet (unless I'm like really blind).

[ancient mural]

The last epoch website is still saying Account Services Temporarily Unavailable, its been like that for a abit now. Was trying to claim the backpack.

[deft sable]

When resetting Echos with a Vessel of Memory, the uniques / set items that drop from the echos you reset appear to be the same uniques as you received the first time. Is that how that's supposed to work, or is it supposed to re-random the loots? Or am I truly so lucky to get the exact same loot table twice in a row, multiple times?

[placid plinth]

not sure, it's fairly short, I'd guess and say 5m

[placid plinth]

nobody has access to the backpack yet, we will get it back up as soon as we can

[placid plinth]

it's random

Question about javelin skill tree.
Is Siege barrage and Divine furry supposed to not work together?

Because when using Siege barrage with divine furry the javelins don't split and just wondering if thats inteeded or not 😄

[acoustic flame]

Hey Mike, how do you feel about bosses having adaptive damage reduction?

[placid plinth]

fantastic

[placid plinth]

I don't know

[acoustic flame]

doesn't adaptive damage reduction just lead to not actually being able to build too much offense?

going from 1600 hits to 92 just feels like a lot

[indigo ice]

Could be cause of the hit reg, without siege barrage javelin hits one enemy while with siege barrage it hits multiple but in as area affect(atleast thats what its seems to do)

[placid plinth]

if it were linear it might

[acoustic flame]

i mean, going from dpsing the boss for 2 seconds, then having a tenth of my damage for 2 seconds, rinse and repeating feels horrible IMO so id rather just build way lower dps to make it feel like my damage isnt being nerfed no?

[placid plinth]

the more damage you do, the faster the boss will die

[stark trout]

shouldnt completing a vessel of chaos echo reroll echos you failed but didn't complete?

[indigo ice]

I'm just stupid it says so in the More Information 🙃

[fickle perch]

It rerolls the rewards, but there is no more rewards on such echo

What is the limit of "kill enemies to find the Х target" in monos? Sometimes I see like 20-25 extra stability (of 54-60) - and still see to indicator to the target.

[amber elk]

Is it intentional that shuriken consume shadows? I looked at both create shadow and shuriken description, it doesn't mention that it would consume shadow.

[lavish thicket]

Is volka's razor node (spellblade passive) supposed to work with the fire aura from the fulmination node in the surge skill tree?

[placid plinth]

teleport

[placid plinth]

not sure, it is variable

[shrewd merlin]

any plans for mastery respec?

[placid plinth]

are you sure? they copy your next non-channeled melee or throwing ability and that's it

[placid plinth]

I'd say unlikely because it's rare that trees overlap unless explicitly stated but I don't know what those nodes do

[placid plinth]

no plans

[shrewd merlin]

any reason behind that? i mean what harm it could do? we want to try all builds and classes its just too many without mastery respec:D

[amber elk]

ahhh, I am blind. Now I see, thank you.

[placid plinth]

it's the second half of your class selection, it's very core to the character's identity and we didn't think that was appropriate to be changed once selected.

[shrewd merlin]

i see maby it could be level 100 reward to change mastery

[lavish thicket]

surge is a melee tagged skill

[last jacinth]

Is a character sheet update in the works? For example, Throwing crit chance isn't on there that I'd love to see.

[exotic phoenix]

I want to color items red if they have at least 2 affixes that are 6 or higher. Would this achieve that? i selected all affixes and said i want at least 2 of them, but i dont know if that connects those 2 to the requirement of 6

[placid plinth]

yes

[placid plinth]

yes, this will highlight any item with 2 or more exalted affixes on it

[faint yarrow]

Follow up question! Why can we switch factions once those release? Having factions work like masteries would also build character's identity as you gain reputation with your faction

[placid plinth]

changing your shirt is a lot easier than changing the decade of study you have undergone to perfect your craft

[dull imp]

Hello! I have a question. In the Animalist build for explosive totems, the explosion is scaled by minion affixes. Although the skill itself does not indicate such a tag. Why is this happening? https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/thorn_totem_poison_burst

[solemn tundra]

is this node supposed to affect tooltip dps?
My main skill multishot; The mana and dps don't change

[placid plinth]

the skill is cast by a minion, that minion's stats are used when calculating damage

[abstract valley]

Hello everyone. and hello @placid plinth . ty for answering all those questions here. helps alot! i have also some questions to ask.
any ETA on Druid transform bug fix?
any ETA on stash category fix?
any informations about squirrel AI if its a bug or intended that they attack always the same target?

[opaque falcon]

@placid plinth Mike there will be possibility to scale UI in game in future (HP / MP bar etc ) ??

[placid plinth]

yes

[placid plinth]

no etas, all minions use the same ai

[placid plinth]

no plans however the future is a long time

[supple yew]

Hey i want to ask a specific question i want to do some Forged weapons stuff so i wanted to know if the ignite chance per forged weapon also apply to the forged weapons themselves (the minions) since it's on the weapon and the forged weapons gain the stats of your weapon

[opaque falcon]

Yea but we cant wait because of Void ....

[placid plinth]

yes but they don't have any forged weapons to scale it off of so no

[supple yew]

oh wow 😄 didnt think about that thanks for the answer 🙂

[solemn tundra]

Is there a wiki on how exp works?
im level 69 can I get 100% exp in a 75 zone?

[exotic phoenix]

are there any plans to add a toggle to enable that recolors apply to items you have looted? Its a bit confusing the colors get scrambled up once i have looted them 🤔

[placid plinth]

if you are underleveled by more than 10 levels you gain xp as though the zone were 10 levels above you. So if, as a level 69 character, you go to a lvl 100 zone, you would gain xp as though it was a level 79 zone.

[placid plinth]

no

[solemn tundra]

awesome thanks mike

[exotic phoenix]

thx for answer, i should probably stop trying to force the loot system to rework the item colors of the game then lol

[tacit bison]

are the void knight passives that give extra echo chance the same as the classes passive one? because one says echos 0.5s and the others say echo 1s later. So do they stack additively and one of the descriptions are wrong or are they separate?

[earnest mountain]

Dear devs, when will we get backpacks? 🙏

[placid plinth]

they are the same, the main description in the class passive is the correct one

[placid plinth]

not sure

[tacit bison]

i have my backpack already, just had to claim in on the last epoch website

[earnest mountain]

How?

[opaque falcon]

Is there a reason why this keeps happening? I've had this in the last couple webs and now again, feels like at some point all you find is Orobyss

[turbid plover]

Why my Flame Reave lost 50% of it's range after patch? Did you changed something in it?

[placid plinth]

the web has a max radius, as you go out more, the chance to encounter the shade goes up

[tacit bison]

i clicked manage account from here, then you log in and there's a "claim backpack" button on the left

[placid plinth]

I don't know

[earnest mountain]

Oh. 😮

I'll try that out, thank you. 🙂

[opaque falcon]

I see, thanks

[craggy kiln]

Are offline characters also stored on the servers somewhere? Or they're local only and you need to make backups manually?

[placid plinth]

we don't store your offline saves. if you're using steam sync steam could have a backup

[turbid plover]

That's not a good answer, still very realistic.
Just to point it out, I've changed nothing in my build, just logged in.

[burnt venture]

I was about to file a ticket, but i'm not sure if it's a know bug or not.

I have a friend that have huge "lags" (discord voice lags and he also have high ms) whenever it loads a map.

But it seems to only happens when he is in a party. If he is online solo but NOT in a party, it works perfectly.

Does this issue reminds you something already known ?

Thanks in advance.

I was afraid to open a ticket with bad infos/unusable/irrelevant

[radiant cedar]

[acoustic flame]

Will healing hands ever get a skill tree?

[placid plinth]

yes

[obtuse osprey]

Any eta for bladedancer fixes ?

[karmic sluice]

Since Forge Strike has a minion tag, would its damage be buffed by increases to minion damage? I figured the tag was there mostly for the minions but still trying to wrap my head around 100% how the tags work in this game.

[orchid topaz]

is there a reason why monster cold damage seems INSANELY overtuned? Compared to other elements of damage - Some monsters in particular (cold) basically oneshot me the instant they touch me, compared to other elements im not even rescapped in i can tank multiple instances of damage from?

Icebat cold breath attack - goatman Avalanche attack - same with ice golems, they deal way more damage than some corrupted bosses most of the time

[earnest mountain]

@tacit bison Got it, thank you. 🙂

[craggy kiln]

Gambler from Soulfire Bastion can give items with sealed affixes right? Can it spawn sealed exalted affixes? If yes does the item still count as exalted if the only exalted affix is sealed?

[pine dome]

Hi @placid plinth I have heard Dr3ad saying in a video that tempest strike is going to be removed and changed by a new skill. Is that true and is that something already in motion ? And I am pretty sure you guys said that ice thorn was going to be removed aswell. Is that still happening?

[placid plinth]

no etas

[placid plinth]

it has a minion tag because a portion of the skill creates minions, forge strike's damage doesn't go up if you have increased minion damage but the overall damage of the whole skill if you are summoning minions with it does

[placid plinth]

yes, no

[placid plinth]

no, he misspoke. what he meant to say was that tempest strike would be removed from its role as a fast hitting cheap spam melee skill and was being changed.
Ice thorns is still being removed

[acoustic flame]

Does Manifest armor get an exact copy of my weapon as a 1h sword? or how exactly does it work?

[placid plinth]

technically it just gets the stats from it

[acoustic flame]

so not the base damage/crit, but it gets all the stats on it?

[orchid topaz]

Nothing on my question then, monster cold damage just deals 200% more damage than any other element for no reason?

[pine dome]

Will we have something else for ice thorn?

[placid plinth]

implicit stats are still stats, it just copies the stats onto the minion as it is summoned

[acoustic flame]

so, what is the base stats for its weapon, and if i have minion damage on my weapon, does it double dip?

[karmic sluice]

I wondered the same earlier, it does not double dip

[placid plinth]

avalanche gets me too, hurts real bad. I think the chill that often goes with them is surprisingly devastating.

[acoustic flame]

and does it snap shot? so I could make a really high dps weapon, and then after summoning I swap to a high minion damage weapon, it would still have the first?

[placid plinth]

no double dipping. but it does get the stat, so the minion now has increased minion damage which is great if it summons a minion

[orchid topaz]

Not just avalanche - even the basic "Ice Bat" small enemy with a little frontal cone ice breath basically oneshots me, 1.8k hp cold res capped obviously

[placid plinth]

yes

[placid plinth]

yea, they hit hard

[karmic sluice]

On the note of snapshotting, does that mean I could put on a 2h weapon, summon the armor, and then swap to a 1h + shield and the armor would get full benefit of the 2h?

[placid plinth]

yes, we are working to fix the snapshotting bugs

[karmic sluice]

Excellent, ty sir

[supple yew]

if i want to scale ignite damage applied by my forged weapons then generic inc fire and ele damage on my staff should increase it since they gain the stats from the weapon ? but then everywhere else ignite dmg from minions needs to be specified ? that it is for minion fire dmg ?

[orchid topaz]

so a small ice bat enemies cold breath attack - out damages the huge flamethrower siege golem's much larger, fire breath attack? that makes zero sense - im equally capped in both elements

[placid plinth]

yes

[placid plinth]

thanks for the #368968647114227723

[acoustic flame]

it wouldnt get the shield though would it?

[feral surge]

The summon scorpion text mentions the scorpion applies "a long lasting poison" with attacks. Does the scorpion actually have any innate poison modifiers, or is that just fluff?

[placid plinth]

yes it wouldn't get the shield/no it wouldn't. That's a hard question to answer.

[acoustic flame]

sorry about that lol hahahah

[placid plinth]

it does poison by default

[acoustic flame]

so would taking the shield node, and the weapon node, when you summon it while wielding a 2h weapon, does it get any benefit from the shield node? or pure cosmetic?

[placid plinth]

no, yes

[acoustic flame]

perfect tyty

[feral surge]

So, the scorpion has a base 100% chance to poison? Did I understand that right?

[placid plinth]

no, one of the scorpion's attacks has a poison chance applied to it (can't remember if it's every attack or not). The scorpion itself doesn't have flat poison chance stat. It's the actual ability. Like how serpent strike has poison chance built into it.

[acoustic flame]

wait, sorry last question on manifest armor, is snapshotting a bug then?

[placid plinth]

I just looked it up, it's when it attacks with it's tail and that is a 100% chance to poison. That's the first thing it does

[placid plinth]

yes

[feral surge]

I see, thank you for looking it up mike 🙂

[acoustic flame]

ah

[pine dome]

Trying my luck but is that planned already? Will it be closer to 1.0 or 0.9?

[acoustic flame]

damn, ok, so play it as long as snapshotting is available hahaha

[placid plinth]

yes, don't know

[placid plinth]

the burden of optimal play to switch out your gear after summoning is a play pattern that we want to avoid as it is unintuitive and tedious.

[acoustic flame]

ah, unlucky, I kinda love that, or just having a different gear setup to equip onto the boi

[karmic sluice]

That makes sense, although thematically it is kind of cool to be able to give him his own set of gear

But thinking of having to resummon does make sense why it wouldn't be a great feature

[acoustic flame]

reminds me of AG in PoE, but without the tediousness of having to re-gear him if he dies

would take the gear swapping over fully regearing any day

[karmic sluice]

Could we perhaps see a node that doubles the stats of the equipped weapon if he doesn't have a shield or soemthing to allow something similar to this?

[static vale]

That's why the correct answer (for an affirmative to a negative question) would be "correct, it wouldn't get the shield"

[karmic sluice]

I guess maybe thats more a feedback thing, will stop cluttering here sorry

[static vale]

#suggestions-and-like-to-see

[craggy kiln]

Do exp echo rewards scale up a lot at some point? They seem pretty underpowered compared to everything else

[static vale]

Yes, apparently to do at high level.

[placid plinth]

I'm going to go get lunch.

[static vale]

If you were in an office, you could get your minions to get you lunch while you stay here and answer questions.

[placid plinth]

my wife doesn't like it when I call her a minion

[static vale]

Yeah, hence it should only be done at the office.

Like, a real office, not "up/downstairs"

[south cedar]

That's where the kids come in

[buoyant path]

https://streamable.com/uxy7eq any idea what hit my friend here? 0:07 - 0:08, can't seem to find a skill on LE tools that would explain it -- and there doesn't seem to be an animation for whatever it is

[placid plinth]

nope but there was some fire vfx that played right as they took damage

[dusky umbra]

Does added flat spell damage increase fire golem infernal aura? If so, all flat spell damage or only fire?

[placid plinth]

no

[buoyant path]

is that not flame ward reflect?

[placid plinth]

sure?

[dusky umbra]

Ok. Does minion spell damage increase the infernal aura? I assume minion damage over time does not because it’s not listed as a tag

[acoustic flame]

hey mike, what happens if you are dual wielding when you manifest armor?

does it only get your main weapon?

[placid plinth]

oh, sorry it has an initial burst that does scale off flat
so +spell minion damage and increased minion damage (and fire and elemental and dot variants)

https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/infernal_aura

[placid plinth]

yes

[dusky umbra]

I was curious about the dot specifically

[placid plinth]

increased minion damage (and fire and elemental and dot variants)

[dusky umbra]

Thanks!

[cerulean canyon]

I died to Majasa, but respawning didn't reset her? Is that a bug or a change for 0.9?

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure, I didn't see that change in the notes myself

[acoustic flame]

do increases to forge strikes hits affect forged weapons damage?

[buoyant trail]

Whats the difference between +flat Spell Damage and +flat Spell Necrotic Damage. I assume both work on abilities with Spell. Would the Spell Necrotic Damage also work on abilities with Necrotic but NOT Spell?

[cerulean canyon]

I did 'die' at the first stage with the respawn overlay but still defeated her before dying for real, maybe that bugged her out if this was not the intended behaviour

[orchid topaz]

You can die to Majasa any number of times currently and just continue on the fight, which feels weird since the Lagon fight resets when u die, so u have to start over.

[placid plinth]

no

[silver sapphire]

spell necrotic damage would add necrotic damage to any spell and "typeless" will add damage to a spell based on the tags

[placid plinth]

untyped flat added damage adapts to the spell which was used. If you use a necrotic spell, it is identical to flat added necrotic damage. if you use a fire spell, it's the same as flat added fire damage. if you use a hybrid spell, it splits in half to each

[supple yew]

[supple yew]

oh ok thanks

[buoyant trail]

So if I understand this correctly, +60 Spell Necrotic Damage would add to my Lighting, Spell ability. Would it then also be increased by Increased Lighting Damage and More Lighting Damage?

[buoyant path]

you'll get the base necrotic damage of 60, but it will not scale

[placid plinth]

yes, no, it is increased by necrotic increases

[buoyant trail]

Ah ok, so that's the tradeoff then. You get the flat, but then it's only amplified by generic or necrotic. Thanks.

[vernal nest]

is dancing strikes skill still bugged?

[acoustic flame]

How do I check my minions stats? (hp, damage, etc.)

[placid plinth]

I don't know, give it a try?

[placid plinth]

with careful math, no way to do it yet

[rough stream]

Have you guys finalized and like the rewards of Endless Arena? I don't know if it's because I'm in the first 30 waves, but they seem super mediocre?? Could be a suggestion, but curious if the feature is considered "complete" ??

[ionic mesa]

Guns? We time traveling, lemmie shoot some dudes

[placid plinth]

I would be ok with it being in this state for 1.0. Not really thrilled but ok. Complete? It will take a very long time for me to call any aspect of the game complete.

[placid plinth]

time doesn't go far enough forward without everything being completely decimated to have the tech advance far enough yet. Something about almost every human on earth being killed and magic existing kinda stalls things out for some reason.

[valid matrix]

Hi Mike, I probably know the answer to this one anyways but am curious if there's more to know here
I'm getting some very wild instability when trying to connect with my friends in South Africa from Canada. I know that it's not an ideal connection, but I'm used to playing with lag with them. However it seems that some play sessions are smooth and others are apocalyptic; is this possible a server allocation error due to the distances that's still being worked on? Or are my only Last Epoch buddies forever separated from me? 😦

[placid plinth]

we are still working on optimizing the systems

[rough stream]

Interesting, what would you consider adding or adjusting to get to the point where you're happy with it?

[ionic mesa]

Sooo gender lock?

[placid plinth]

good try, no sneak peeks yet

[rough stream]

[placid plinth]

[ionic mesa]

Wanna explain urself on why i cant jump in game?

Why is that only locked to primalist

[shrewd axle]

Mike's alt accoint I think

[placid plinth]

yes, that's steve

[shrewd axle]

He doesnt have the same Icon I have seen on other EHG people, so was curious lol

[copper dove]

Hello! Altering tags and functionality on skills can be confusing, as to what affixes scale what things.

For example, Spriggan Vines have the option to shoot Spirit Thorns, and scale with Spriggan talent tree. But, do the Vines now scale with minion spell power, or is it a ranged attack? The tooltip doesn't reflect this.

Primalist Swipe, added lightning damage node. Does increasing elemental damage only increase the lightning portion, or the entire damage package since it now has a Lightning tag? Thanks!

[placid plinth]

jumping doesn't have any mechanical benefits over things like teleport or transplant on the mage and acolyte. It's a thematically appropriate mechanic for the Primalist's primary movement ability.

[shrewd axle]

hey Mike, and plans to let us lock stash tab position?

[placid plinth]

"ranged attack" isn't a mechanical concept in the game. spriggan vines either use melee abilities or spell abilities. (they don't have any bow or throwing which are the other 2 options)

increases to any damage type only affect that type, so increased elemental damage on a physical/lightning ability scales the lightning portion of that ability (and any other incidental elemental damage like ignite for example)

[copper dove]

Thanks for the clarifications, much appreciated!

Any eta when south america servers will be restablished? I know we have one, but since multiplayer ive been only connecting to north america...

[heavy ice]

overcapping resistances is pointless correct arguing with a friend who is new to the game

[shrewd axle]

Monsters have 1% resist pen up to 75% max. I think overcapping helps with that

[acoustic flame]

No

[desert sand]

It will help protect you against Shred/Penetration or Marked for Death (curse)

[south cedar]

It's not nearly as relevant in this game as it is in PoE

[desert sand]

Agreed - but not pointless

[placid plinth]

they are up and have not been down

[desert sand]

Shred is applied before your resists are capped - having extra protects you against it. Marked for Death reduces your resists by 25% after the cap is applied, and Penetration applies 1:1 after cap

[acoustic flame]

Hey Mike, I thought you said Manifest Armor currently snapshots, but I tried, and it doesnt seem to?

[placid plinth]

well, no not pointless it helps vs shred and mark for death (it is pointless with regards to the 75% default pen)

[placid plinth]

ok, maybe someone did something cool, it should (because everything does)

[heavy ice]

but is not relevant for zone level damage increase right?

only for pen?

[acoustic flame]

The way I tested was, I summoned Manifest armor with out Aberrant Call equipped, then equipped Aberrant Call, and it didnt get the health drain or the increased minion damage

[placid plinth]

enemies have 1% penetration per level up to a max of 75% per level. This is applied after you res cap so if in a level 100 zone you have 75 all res or 99999999999 all res, you still have 0 all res.

[opaque falcon]

is it no longer possible to skip taking artem's offer quest? Intentional or a bug? Currently when you go to Ezra's study you automatically get artem's quest even if you didn't talk to him.

[opaque falcon]

asking because I don't know if it's a bug 😄

seems intentional but idk

[onyx jasper]

Is the quality of player modifiers influenced by the difficulty of enemy modifiers for echoes? Or are the player mods just rolled randomly? Right now im seeing enemies have 63% increased health and void enemies have 165% increased damage with the same player modifiers and that just doesn't seem proportionate.

[placid plinth]

sorry, misread the question, the temporary mods have nothing to do with the number of players

[snow chasm]

Does grounding conduit from storm totem affect storm crows if they have the fulminating claw ?

also, increase to lightning damage is it only "x% increase lightning damage" or is it also +15 spell lightning damage

thanks

[heavy ice]

I didnt know that overcapped res was relevant to enemies with pen mods/curse. all i remembered was what you just said about the zone level pen not being affected. thanks for the clarification

[onyx jasper]

Sorry, I don't mean relative to the number of players - just if the reward you are supposed to get is relative to the difficulty of the enemy modifier above, or if it is just random.

[placid plinth]

they both scale relative to distance from center, they have random ranges applied too
