[snow chasm]

wait , snapshot as it works or snapshot as its a temporary buff so it doesnt work?

[placid plinth]

when you summon the crow, it checks your lightning damage increases and gives that to the crow when you summon it

[snow chasm]

Ohhhh, so i need to summon totem, have it hit so i get the damage buff, then summon the crow so they have it permanently?

[placid plinth]

yea, good luck

(this is why snapshotting sucks)

[acoustic flame]

Does manifest armor getting legendary effects from your items?

[snow chasm]

it does doesnt it

[broken spire]

Does cooldown recovery speed affect passive tree and item procs at all? I'm playing as spellblade, and the cooldowns for most triggers feel high enough to warrant it, but I have no cooldown gear to test it at all.

[muted topaz]

Are we going to get totem damage in tooltips ?

[placid plinth]

well, given that soon(tm) has no basis in real time and can mean literally anything, yes

[muted topaz]

🙂

[placid plinth]

most unique items work with manifest armor but some unique effects do not

[placid plinth]

no

[acoustic flame]

is there like a list? or just trial and error?

[broken spire]

I see, that's disappointing. Thanks for answering.

[placid plinth]

no, yes, I'm sure some veterans in #❔┃ask-the-community probably know (the important ones at least)

[empty panther]

Ok, deleting and recreating a bunch of empty categories restored the missing stash tabs in one of the generic categories i recreated, so this does allow for a end user to sort of self service around this bug

[acoustic flame]

Can I use a bow for manifest armor to copy the stats of?

[placid plinth]

can you equip a bow on a sentinel?

[acoustic flame]

also, due to it getting a sword, does that mean things like "increased axe damage" won't work?

can you not equip a bow as a sentinel?? o.O

[placid plinth]

I don't think it actually knows what weapon type it has "equipped"

[placid plinth]

no, no you can't

[acoustic flame]

so you can't, interesting

[acoustic flame]

does that mean it does or doesn't work? or is the weapon just all types

[placid plinth]

doesn't work

[acoustic flame]

oof

[calm mulch]

Not sure if this is the thread for this but, does anyone know what to do when getting error "LE-51"? I spoke with support and they told me it was likely due to a taken username. Though I doubt that, I've tried all sorts of variations as well as some random things to see if it would let me through and still no luck. Anyone have any idea what this issue is and how to fix it?

[placid plinth]

I can't help with bugs or support requests in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs if #support told you something, it's probably right. If you would like more support, please reply to their email.

[meager gorge]

Hey Mike three separate questions for you.

1. How does experience gain work? Is there such thing as powerleveling in this game? If I am level 1 and go to end game with a friend who is 80 does either of us gain less experience or more? It seems no matter where I am at what level the leveling is fairly consistent.

2. When you use an ascendance rune does the base of the item need to be the same as the item you're trying to acquire. For example if I'm going for unique sword Aurelis, does the base I use the rune on need to be a longsword or if I use it on any base sword it'll have a chance to become that weapon.

3. If I have a unique item with legendary potential and I craft something onto it, can I over write it later with something else if it gets a bad stat on it from crafting. Or do I need to find the same unique with legendary potential again and start over?

[calm mulch]

I have and so far haven't heard back, but I've tried the most ridiculous usernames, and it still will not allow me in. Thank you, though, I'll keep trying

[placid plinth]

1. if you're underleveled by more than 10, you gain xp as though the zone was 10 levels above you.

2. no, just the right general type, 1H sword or 2H mace or body armor etc

3. only unique items with legendary potential can be combined with exalteds to make legendaries. You can't use a legendary, it is not a unique and doesn't have any LP and an exalted

[placid plinth]

they might have to change it for you?

[calm mulch]

I'll check in on it. Thanks, sorry to interrupt yalls discussion

[buoyant path]

Can you dodge a blocked hit?

[placid plinth]

I think dodge happens first so no?

[runic hatch]

i found an armor earlier that made my bears fur white but it doesnt work for my current build but it was so sexy, is there any plans to make cosmetics for the bearform or only the armor? (u rerely see the armor as a bear)

[valid matrix]

Mike, what's your favourite addition to 0.9 besides multiplayer?

[placid plinth]

yes

[placid plinth]

all the new people

[valid matrix]

That's cheating

[runic hatch]

cool ty awesome!

[placid plinth]

I know 😉

[meager gorge]

Does legendary potential get consumed when it's used?

[placid plinth]

kinda, legendary items can't have legendary potential. I'm not sure if it technically actually gets changed or not because it isn't displayed on legendary items and they can't be used anyways.

for all the reasons that matter, yes

[pure marten]

Is there a reason spell crit and crit are different stats?

Is it because of internal logic where spell damage goes through it's own thing and physical goes down a different path?

[pine chasm]

Generic crit still applies to spells (which can still be physical spells, btw). The more specific spell crit affixes just roll higher values.

[pure marten]

I need a flowchart

😆

[orchid topaz]

This talents adds Nothing for the fire golems Nova to apply ignite or??

[placid plinth]

there are 4 damage types, melee, spell, bow and throwing.

there are 7 elements fire, cold, lightning, PHYSICAL, necrotic, poison and void.

any stat can be augmented with one of these tags. For example you can have 10% increased critical hit chance. This applies 10% increased crit chance to all your hits.

If you have 10% increased spell crit chance, this applies 10% increased crit chance to all your spell hits.

if you have 10% increased fire crit chance, this applies 10% increased crit chance to all your fire hits.

if you have 10% increased fire spell crit chance, this applies 10% increased crit chance to all your fire spell hits.

you can substitute any type out for spell and any element out for fire and it still works

[placid plinth]

is the nova a melee ability?

[spare flax]

Are there any early plans on how Cycles will work? If you could share it or know it

[orchid topaz]

The tooltip says Your Golem has X - vs the information which says Melee ignite, which is a bit confusing, but thx i get the sarcasm

[placid plinth]

not sarcasm, trying to help you understand how it works so you can figure this out yourself.

[mint spoke]

Mage's Static tree, Diode reduces charges used to Zap and Unstable increases cost in a %. Which happens first? Is it (10 * 1.4) - 5 = 9 or (10 -5) *1.4 = 7

[placid plinth]

the golem nova ability should tell you from tags if you hold alt on that node if it's a melee or spell ability (it's a spell by the way) then you can cross reference that with this node to see that the node applies melee ignite chance so it doesn't work

[orchid topaz]

ahh gotcha - the nova says Nothing about ignite at all, do all fire spells automatically ignite or does it specifically have to state that it ignites??

[acoustic flame]

does manifest armor benefit from stats like strength?

[placid plinth]

things can only ignite if they have ignite chance and it should say it if it does

[placid plinth]

minions can't use attributes at all

[acoustic flame]

kk

[orchid topaz]

ahh i just Assumed the fire nova ignited, but it says nothing about it so.. allright

[placid plinth]

I'd have to see the nodes to be sure but things almost always happen in this order added -> increased -> more

(subtracted, reduced and less are the negatives)

[mint spoke]

Awesome, good to know as a general rule. Thanks!

[mild oyster]

does item rarity influence runes, glyphs, or affix shards?

[placid plinth]

I almost replied no very quickly but I am second guessing because there are more/less rare items in each category. I'm not sure, sorry.

[mild oyster]

no worries! ill see if anyone has done science

[sleek tapir]

Hello, I recently died on my first HC character on offline and they became HC Solo - but have a separate stash from my other SC characters...

Anyway to fix?

Pretty demoralizing to lose 90 levels of shards, uniques, etc.

[placid plinth]

are you sure? this is a known visual display bug but functionally it should be into SC like normal. (your stash stays in HC)

[sleek tapir]

Yeah, standby

[placid plinth]

(also obligatory, please don't post about bugs here)

[sleek tapir]

You're saying the stash stays in HC? So same thing with the crafting inventory as well?

[placid plinth]

yes

[sleek tapir]

Ah, sadge

Fair enough, thanks

[serene laurel]

A question regarding detonating arrow: If I scale the dmg with mana cost, elemental arrows, and dark quiver. I also have Rapid detonation and suckerpunch arrow passives. If i hit a monster with a first arrow with all the dmg bonuses from mana, elemental arrows and dark quiver, then my second arrow that triggers the suckerpunch DONT have elemental arrows and dark quiver buff, will the explosion still get the damage bonuses from the first arrow?

[young kelp]

Are there some damage types that hit health even if you have ward left?

[hushed scarab]

Does minion health regen work? Never seem to see my skeletons regen health at high levels

[desert sand]

It does work - Minion Health far outstrips most Minion Regen at later levels/Stats (Intelligence for Skeletons), so it's less noticeable then.

Evening, Mike (and any other EHG guys hiding in the background...) o/

[hushed scarab]

gotcha thanks

[placid plinth]

the charge that gets attached to the target remembers where it came from and has the same bonuses carried over as any other subskill would. (I'm not 100% sure what each of those nodes do)

[serene laurel]

awesome thanks 🙂

[placid plinth]

I think reflect?

[meager gorge]

Got another question for you. I'm using multistrike to proc smites with the Hallowed Arsenal talent. I am curious if Victory Strikes allows the smites that kill people to proc this talent or does it have to be swords?

[placid plinth]

"a sword" is a specific ability, that ability has to be the thing that lands the killing blow.

[meager gorge]

So smite does it proc it?

[placid plinth]

no, the ability smite is different

[meager gorge]

Thanks

[sullen copper]

which effect takes control @placid plinth

for leech

[placid lodge]

Is there any chance of the target dummies ever being able to give you a dps count, or something similar, over say...10s or something? It's incredibly hard to gauge whether or not your minions are doing more or less dps sometimes.

I know they don't want anything super accurate, but some kind of gauge might be nice

[placid plinth]

any chance ever? yes
reasonable chance soon? no

[runic hatch]

[south cedar]

Hey Mike, what's rhe secret to your ability to answer so many questions and get other work done?

[placid plinth]

several copy pastas ready to go 95% of my replies are identical

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.

[south cedar]

That actually makes a lot of sense, lol

[hidden hearth]

Including this one?

[placid plinth]

no

[shrewd swallow]

out of interest, what sort of devops / CI tooling are you using internally?

[placid plinth]

I'm gonna look like an idiot and say the wrong tool here I just know it. Github and Jenkins primarily

[shrewd swallow]

no that sounds entirely reasonably - thanks. was interested to see if game dev tooling overlapped with typical commercial software dev

[grizzled tapir]

Hi, I got a questions regarding increased cast speed for totems and increased totem cast speed.

1.Are they the same thing(1 from idol 1 from tree, ancestral speed)
2. Do they increase speed of summoning healing totems in spriggan form?

[placid plinth]

1. no, increased cast speed for totems gives you totems increased cast speed while increased totem cast speed increases the speed at which you cast totems.
2. increased totem cast speed does

[grizzled tapir]

Ty! So the passive will boost my summoning speed even more

[wooden bridge]

What is ward cap based off of/ how is it determined

[placid plinth]

the maximum value of an integer

[wooden bridge]

English Mike, please

[placid plinth]

it's probably a uint actually

[placid plinth]

so big that you'll never hit it

[wooden bridge]

So like it says ward has no cap, but mine stops at 250

[placid plinth]

that's just the highest you've gotten it up to

[wooden bridge]

but i have an item that gives ward per second, so why would it not continue

[placid plinth]

ward decays over time as a percentage of what is left so it decays faster the more you have and it will reach an equilibrium

[ruby rose]

This contradicts the wording in the text above the node (which is not too surprising) but there's also a node in Spriggan Form that explicitly refers to the "summoning speed" stat for summoning totems faster.

[wooden bridge]

Alright that mostly makes sense thanks

[placid fox]

questions re: Static tree
How does Unstable (trigger Zap multiple times) interact with Unlimited Power (trigger Lightning Blast instead of Zap)?
Diode's charge cost reduction states that it only applies to Zap, but I've tested charge usage and it seems like it also applies to Lightning Blast when using Unlimited Power, so I'm not sure if the Unstable multitrigger node works the same way.

[placid plinth]

I'm probably just wrong

[ruby rose]

Understandable hehe

[placid plinth]

I don't know but it should be easy enough to test right? just try and see if it triggers multiple lightning blasts?

[placid fox]

the problem is that the Zap animation looks just like the LB animation

[placid plinth]

it only ever casts zap or lightning blast

[placid fox]

yeah, but I can't tell which one it's casting lol

[placid plinth]

convert the lightning blast to cold

[iron veldt]

Is it possible to use the the ball buttons instead of D-pad on controller to selec items in inventory?

[placid plinth]

you'd have to remap the controller outside the game but yes it is possible to do that

[placid fox]

ah, I could just turn DPS numbers back on and see if I get 1 or N of them

yeah that works

[iron veldt]

I'm afraid if I remap the Ball Button to do same actions it would break the character movement, but I'll try it now. Thanks

[placid plinth]

if you do it outside the game you can switch what the inputs are and the game won't know the difference

[low peak]

Are you guys happy with the Lagon fight (both campaign and monolith variant)? Everytime I do that with a melee character I just feel... bad

[glad veldt]

[orchid topaz]

is the golden chest in the room before the boss, in temporal sanctum supposed to contain loot or? i keep opening it in Divine era, and it keeps containing nothing

[placid plinth]

no

maybe? If it opens probably

I have no idea what chest that is

[sand moat]

Will there be a vinyl pressing of the soundtrack? Or any other unique pieces of merch?

[orchid topaz]

its already open in the corrupted state, but golden and openable in Divine era state - it contains nothing, every time, and no its not a loot filter thing

[copper dove]

Will we be seeing a return of the devblogs, as the intense post-launch bugfixing settles down a bit?

[placid plinth]

vinyl seems very ambitious, I don't think so but maybe. we have don't special physical merch before and it was.....painful....terrible....no those are way too nice terms for it...soul crushing, yup that's the one. (all the staff ones had to be sent out as replacements for the ones that broke in shipping)

We do have things like playmats and shirts and stuff. More will be coming with a full merch store.

[placid plinth]

we do a pretty heavy spam leading up to a major release and then sprinkle in a few ones here and there for big updates. we will continue this.

[tulip drum]

I don't know if this is a bug or if i'm just missing something... When I got shroud of winter (screenshot below). It's causing a frost orb to fall from the sky and do damage to myself? I feel like if this was a bug i would've found it in the search function so i'm wondering if i'm missing something

[placid plinth]

I have been writing to recreate it slowly

[tulip drum]

nvm it's something else it just happened to stop when i unspec it

i will keep looing

[cursive basin]

since the transient rest boots is not working, i assume all other gear with movement procs like wings of argentus 'less dmg taken when moving' is also not working?

[placid plinth]

I have no idea if that's a safe assumption or not

[cursive basin]

me neither, that's why i'm asking haha

[fossil dune]

I will pay for my own Shard

[sand moat]

Cheers!! Thanks for the answers

[cursive basin]

i tried it, but it doesn't feel like its working at all. i wish there was a dummy that hit you for controlled damage

[placid fox]

Okay, testing results for Unstable and Unlimited Power (putting it here in case someone in the future asks, so that test result is ctrl+f'able)
Setup 1: Max out Static charges, find the only dummy in Champion's Arena that Static procs against (it only procs on dummies named Enemy Training Dummy, not dummies named Training Dummy). Wait for a while and see if multiple procs occur (ie 2x Shock procs per second). Current test setup has ~50% proc chance, so chance of a double proc is ~25%.
Result 1: After waiting for ~20s, no double-ailment hits. Explanation: Lightning Blast never proc'd twice against the lone dummy.
Setup 2: Running around in low-level areas with 1 point in Unstable and 1 point in Unlimited Power (I also have +1 chain from the LB tree that I was too lazy to despec). See how many enemies are damaged per second with Lightning Blast. If proc'ing twice, we would expect to see 2x2 hits/s (2 casts times 2 hits per cast due to the chain)
Result 2: Sometimes I saw 3 hits/s, sometimes I saw 5. Typically, however, I saw 4. I don't have any DoTs proc'able, nor any secondary skills, so possible targeting bug? Regardless, it roughly matches the predicted "casts against X unique enemies" behavior.
.
Conclusion: With Unstable and Unlimited Power, Lightning Blast IS triggered multiple times, but cannot target the same enemy with multiple casts. Targeting seems inconsistent but it's good enough for mobbing.

[mint spoke]

Unstable says it targets more enemies, not re-casting so that'd make sense.

I've been trying to figure out how Lightning Blast's Convergence node (LB now only chains to the first target hit) works with Overcharge and Hypercharge (25% chance to double/quad cast) and I'm a little confused. It seems like when the extra casts proc they don't target the same unit, which is fine, but the extra casts don't seem to have any chain's via Convergence. Am I just seeing it wrong, or is that intended maybe?

[whole thunder]

the wield dagger prefix double dips lightning and throwing attack - is this intended?

[placid plinth]

it's a little hard to see but it should just look like a big ball of lightning on one target

[placid plinth]

If you think you've found a bug please report it on the forums. (this might be a display bug but it isn't double dipping)

!bug

[fiery lily]

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

[mint spoke]

Yeah that's not what it's doing, if I cast on a pack of mobs when the double/quad cast triggers it pretty clearly hits a bunch of different targets once and the "main" target the right number of times based on chain. I'll submit a bug. Thanks!

[finite kelp]

I cant find it anywhere when searching. But I'm wondering how come the design choice for masteries went the way it did with no possibility to change mastery (i.e from necro to lich etc) ? Most aRPGs have some sort of way to actually change 'sub-class" so I'm curious as to the thoughts on why it was decided this way, if that's okay to ask

[iron veldt]

In-game I do not see any options for the inventory selection, or what buttons are being used by the controller. I think its bugged, half the buttons are just blank and others are selected. (I use a Steam Controller)

[placid plinth]

We look at it like 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. You can always leave a #suggestions-and-like-to-see to have it be more open if you want too.

(with discord you can put from: and then it will start auto completing names as you type, if you put my name in with a good search term after, you can find a TON of stuff. You can also use In: to limit it to a single channel)

[fossil dune]

I search Mike's message history for info often

[placid plinth]

@finite kelp forgot to hit reply

[iron veldt]

Instead of making the joystick act as a dpad in Steam Controller Layout config, I think it's better to have the settings directly in game and we can change them somehow.

[placid plinth]

sorry, I was suggesting doing it outside the game, I don't think it can be done inside

[iron veldt]

Anyway it didn't work well with the abilities either because all casts were far away from my char for some reason, for example, abyssal echoes was being cast so far away (as far as the range can be) instead of at my char (like pointing with a mouse)

[finite kelp]

Terribly sorry, I didn't know that you were the main guy in here 😅 I will make sure to search that way first and foremost before asking anything more. Really appreciate the answer, love getting a new perspective on it.

[placid plinth]

all good, just spreading the knowledge around

What skill was the hardest to develop? Or was it any skill that really stood out when trying to develop and make it work?

[placid plinth]

the transforms because it's actually like 10 skills each

[fossil dune]

Primalist is all sorts of weird this update, someone should consolidate all his bugs into one post at some point. That someone is not me because I don't have my forum login

[placid plinth]

ok I'm stepping away for a while. I'll be checking in on my phone but I'm going to leave this open and see how it goes.

[unborn tulip]

Question is it a bannable offense to change the save files for offline characters or is it allowed but looked down apon, asked out of curiosity.

[pine chasm]

Mike stepped away, but he has answered this in the past. They don't/can't do anything about it.

[civic plinth]

does the whlie transformed count towards being in reaper form for the lich class ?

[fossil dune]

That's the only transform on Acolyte, isn't it?

[unborn tulip]

oh okay

[civic plinth]

absolutly true, i was just wondering

[fossil dune]

Then... yes.

[civic plinth]

i didnt know i would show off as a moron by your reply

but yea i donno thanks i guess o_O ?

[south cedar]

Last Epoch is one of those games where a lot of things are very literal

[fossil dune]

Well it was partly confusion on my end because I genuinely don't play Acolyte much so wasn't sure if there was one that I forgot about

I cannot type

[civic plinth]

Sure, i was just wondering,,, but yea...

cool/friendly reply 😉

[orchid topaz]

When you roll an item with Legendary potential in the temporal sanctum - the unique eats the Exalted stat, right??? or does it take a random stat from the donor item??

[rancid maple]

can the devs explain the drop rate system. like what percentage is common, uncommon rare and very rare. farming throne and killing it over 100 times with it not dropping makes me wonder drop rate percentages

[pine chasm]

Completely random

[orchid topaz]

God damn thats harsh

[fossil dune]

It doesn't work off "drop rates" is the thing. It works off a "reroll chance".

[rancid maple]

so explain reroll chance. cause gear or item DROP from bosses and monsters. so reroll chance means....?

[fossil dune]

Each item has an inherent reroll chance tied to it. When that item drops it makes a check to see if it stays as that item or if it rolls into a different one.

[placid plinth]

also those descriptors are the site converting a percentage to a term

[fossil dune]

^

[velvet urchin]

So, what % = Very rare/rare/uncommon?

[fossil dune]

Hover over it

It'll tell you

[timber adder]

Pause in online mod possible in future?

[rare portal]

has loot disappearing after pickup been reported? (seems to be related to filter tried to pick up item but found it didnt enter inventory at end of echo)

[rancid maple]

there is no reroll percent listed for Throne of Ambition? is this a bug can i get some clarity been farming for it for 4 days now

[ruby rose]

None of what the other person said is relevant to Throne, since it's a boss drop. It has a % chance to drop from the boss which is modified by item rarity on your monolith when you do the boss based on your echo modifiers and corruption. I believe the base chance is like 10% but that's conjecture on my part

[velvet urchin]

So you're saying loot drops and then you take it away? Instead of it having a % chance to drop?

[fossil dune]

Numbers on rare drops for bosses are unknown

Just rough estimates available

[spare tapir]

@placid plinth Hey sorry to bother you. Any comment on the shift bug for rouges? Makes the playstyle very unenjoyable as a big part of their kit is mobility.

[rancid maple]

thanks for the info... now im even more demoralized that i could farm this for months and months and never see it guess i might have to wait till they add the drop rate buff trade league thing

[spare tapir]

Wasnt aware, Apologies.

[fossil dune]

That's really not the case. It's entirely reasonable to self-farm every item in the game right now. You just need to know how.

How come ward retention is multiplied by 0.5 in the ward decay formula? The results of the equation seem far more intuitive to me without it.

That's the lowest ping server for you at that time.

There are 2 special potion Easter eggs to find

[shell tide]

Is there any way to remove your own name from above your head? I didn't see an option for it.

[opaque falcon]

I'm lost in this and couldn't find an answer, does Spark Charge damage scaled with % more modifiers that don't say "hit damage", like "skill does % more damage" stuff only, or is it all mods?

[placid plinth]

Not yet

[silver tree]

any updates on the stash tabs bug that links categories together and deletes everything? Ive had multiple hours of items deleted sadly

[shell tide]

Thanks for the reply, I hope that's on the to do list.

[coarse saddle]

Yo, how to get my kickstarter pet?? Cannot see in game. Also im missing the backpack.

[placid plinth]

It scales with lightning damage and spell damage but just is unrelated to the hit that applied it

[placid plinth]

#support

[opaque falcon]

F, thanks

[placid plinth]

Some of them aren't in yet

[coarse saddle]

Thanks Mike ❤️

[short root]

is there any psuedoRNG in the game? or is it all regular rng?

[placid plinth]

There aren't any pity systems but technically all of it is pseudoRNG because we don't use true RNG. It does use several layers so it's pretty strong and for all practical purposes, is proper random. (Almost no game in the world uses real RNG)

[placid fox]

Is this intended behavior or a bug:
Lightning Blast triggered from Unlimited Power is unable to trigger other skills. I have multiple "X to trigger on hit" effects (spark charges and spark nova) and none of them are activating.
Tested by standing at dummies in town and counting hits/s against the lone target dummy.
I'm not sure about whether or not triggerception is intended behavior or not.

[short root]

damn, so theres no pity on farming boss specific uniques

[placid plinth]

No

[short root]

F tyty ❤️

[placid plinth]

Sorry, I don't check bugs here

[hoary lichen]

In theory, is it POSSIBLE to craft from t1 to 20 without consuming any potential if you get extremely lucky with the glyphs of hope, or is the game coded to eventually force a forging cost?

[placid fox]

Yeah, I just wanted to know if it was intended behavior or not, I don't want to clutter bug report forum if it's just a mechanic I wasn't aware of 😄

[placid plinth]

Please clutter bug reports instead of here

[placid fox]

ok

[placid plinth]

Yes, it is possible to do

[hoary lichen]

Thank you. So it is worth giving blue items a shot if you have a lot of mats. Sweet.

[placid plinth]

(blues do start with less potential)

[hoary lichen]

Oh yeah sure, I was just wondering if it's technically possible to turn a blue into a t20. Thanks for clarifying.

[boreal token]

Is the increased hit damage from Fire Skull on Hungering Souls (lich) more damage than that of a Hungering Souls without Fire Skull? Building Necrotic Damage either way, with both flat necrotic on the wand and % necrotic elsewheres?
Looking for a definitive math expert or developer answer here..

[patent jungle]

Whats the point of swipe doing more cold damage in this node when it doesnt do any cold damage? Am i missing something?

does grabbing flat fire damage affect "fire aura"?

[sinful palm]

thx

[blissful matrix]

Hello c:
just wanted to ask what happens if I have a friend that joins that is much lower level than my character? I checked some FAQs but I probably missed it

[fossil dune]

Not much. You can drag them, they'll get exp capped at a 10 level difference. No punishment or anything.

[stiff solstice]

they also tend to die a lot 🙂

[blissful matrix]

there's a penalty for a difference of 10 levels?

[stiff solstice]

of more than 10 levels, yes

[fossil dune]

Your exp gets capped at gaining exp as if the zone was 10 levels higher than you. This is not a multiplayer party thing it's just how the system works.

[stiff solstice]

so if you take a level 10 friend to a level 90 zone, they'll only get exp as if they're level 20...which is still better than they would normally get, but not the full amount

[blissful matrix]

ahhhh thank you
that's where my confusion was

and if he's the host do I just stomp the whole area?

[fossil dune]

If you're in his areas sure.

[blissful matrix]

and what about quest progression? last question really

[fossil dune]

You won't gain exp because you're drastically over leveled

You can drag someone through quest progression or just tag along for theirs.

Depends on the party leader's quest state iirc

[stiff solstice]

or whoever enters first, not sure

[blissful matrix]

but if he joins my quest does he bug out on his own progression?

[fossil dune]

Nah it just pulls his to wherever yours is at

[blissful matrix]

but then he progresses quest with me, it wouldn't affect his progression of his own quests? or does he lose out on the rewards of the previous quests?

sorry, just trying to understand it

[fossil dune]

He should get the rewards of whatever gets completed by being pulled.

[pine chasm]

And can still go back to finish skipped stuff

[fossil dune]

Yup

[stiff solstice]

I wouldn't skip the campaign for a new player anyway...then you have someone who's only context for the game is running monoliths or whatever with you

[blissful matrix]

yep. I'm making a new character when he joins, but I was curious for if I ever progress my character without him

thank you for the patience of clarifying lol

[fossil dune]

Anytime. Well. I start work in 5 minutes but anytime I'm not working :P
I'm usually in #❔┃ask-the-community

[placid plinth]

No, not like ailments

[rich sparrow]

"No support issues or bugs; please use the forum for such topics."

seriously - its right there

i have to imagine this is getting frustrating Mike, and I'm sorry you have to deal with it. I know my friend group really appreciates you being active and responding to the endless stream of questions.

[rancid dock]

Do bears which use swipe have the ability to gain stacks of aspect of the panther? the tooltip does not state they cant like it does with claw totems etc.

[hoary lichen]

Does rarity have any effect on echo rewards? Like "unique or set sword or dagger".

IS it more likely to drop a rarer sword/dagger?

[teal trail]

i asked that a bit ago and he said yes

though i believe they can only gain 2 stacks because the buff has such a short duration and stacks are on individual timers

[obsidian owl]

If I duel wield taste of blood do I get quadruple bleed speed?

[rancid dock]

oh okay cool, 3 is max, 2.3 second cd, in theory if your bear is swiping off cooldown, you can keep up 3 because with maxed out panther duration they last 7 seconds. But 2 is probably the most expected result.

[empty otter]

Hear hear!

I can get 4 stacks personally atm, after hard stacking the CD extension in passives

also, not to mention the general lack of transparency over minion/companion stats

[placid plinth]

Yes

[visual oriole]

hi dev, does blizzard node of storm totem scale with cast speed?

[wooden roost]

Does the amount of map clear impact the end reward? For example, if I clear and get 12 bonus stability, will my shard + chest have more/better items than if I full-cleared the map with 70 bonus stability?

[placid plinth]

Not the way you want it to

[visual oriole]

so how does it work?

I think I misphrase my question, minion cast speed

not your own cast speed

[placid plinth]

If you have totem or minion cast speed it will start the spell faster but it doesn't tick faster.

[visual oriole]

so it's 99% useless then

[placid plinth]

Yes

Thus, not the way you want

[placid plinth]

Chest scales with monsters killed and goes above the max extra stability

[wooden roost]

Do other party members scale their rewards off the host's corruption, or off their own?

[merry tusk]

Is there any plan in the future to have blessings you've picked put in a storage to swap to later? As a mage im thinking of swapping to a cold oriented build from lightning but having to change blessings for it seems a bit of a hassle

[placid plinth]

It's the corruption of the echo being completed currently. Which is the same for everyone.

[placid plinth]

No plans but you can leave a #suggestions-and-like-to-see if you'd like

[desert sand]

G'night, EHG - fantastic first week of 0.9. Looking forward to what's coming (teasers again, Friday?)

[kind nexus]

hey mike weird question, is suckerpunch arrow in the detonating arrow tree supposed to work with jelkhor's melee det arrow hits? i cant tell if it is working and it is so inconsistent it almost seems like a bug

[desert sand]

Not Mike, nor a Dev, but I would expect it to - Jelkhor's only converts the arrow into a melee swing, the explosions work the same way.

The Damage of the Suckerpunch Explosion is based off the initial attachment, however - so that might be part of the difficulty in testing.

[kind nexus]

well its really weird. if i have a single large enemy like a boss or smth, i never see any increased explosion damage or area. but hitting an enemy twice in a group is an obvious increase in both damage and area

like its so obvious that i feel like something is actually wrong

[desert sand]

To quote Mike: if you think something might be a bug, best to report it to the forums; even if it's working as intended, it shows us that we need better explanations for that thing.

!bug

[bright field]

Hey mike is there a way ingame to see the critical strike chance of say a skill like smite to see what it is actually sitting at??

[desert sand]

Not Mike, but many hours of game-time: not accurately. The current Character Sheet doesn't take into account dynamic or skill-specific effects when showing you stats like Critical Strike Chance. (Though you can search the forums for Character sheet Improvements and help promote the ones you like the best)

[onyx jasper]

You can calculate it yourself easily though, base crit * (1 + increased) + any crit vulnerability.

[fickle idol]

Hello Guyz !

Do you know if its better to farm Aaron's Will in empowered or in normal and echo in blood frost and death ? ❤️ thanks !

[reef rock]

Anyone knows how this node works?
Does it buff normal rive 3 by 5%, AND THEN echo by 15%?

IE Rive 3 deals 100(1.05)=105 damage, Echo Rive 3 = 105(1.15) =120.75 damage

OR is it

Rive 3 deals 100(1.05)=105 damage, Echo Rive 3 = 100(1.15) = 115

[placid plinth]

Rive 3 deals 100(1.05)=105 damage, Echo Rive 3 = 100(1.15) = 115

[reef rock]

Thanks Mike 🙂

Hey Mike, once the full game releases, what mtx do you guys sell? Season pass or just a cosmetic shop like path of exile?

[placid plinth]

very strictly cosmetic only mtx and seasonal supporter packs with a collection of cosmetic mtx. no pay for power, no pay for convenience or boosts.

[reef rock]

I see, good to hear, not that I doubted about the no P2W aspect.
Though I hope we can have wider selection of cosmetics instead of everyone looking the same

[placid plinth]

it will start small but will get big

[feral surge]

Is there any secret / easter egg related to the captains ring? Lastepochtools doesnt even list it as an existing base type

[craggy kiln]

Do ice beetles from shrines last until they die or they're on a timer like all shrine boons?

[placid plinth]

It's a tutorial item that always drops from the same place to make sure everyone sees an item with stun avoidance early to prompt that as an idea

[placid plinth]

timer

don't know how long it is

2mins?

[runic hatch]

im pretty sure the answer is yes but still, will there be a way to join others other then having them on your friends list?

am i supposed to claim it i thought you just got it if you had it before multiplayer

Good morning, you porpably heard from all Ends that the EU Server has some issues with Not getting in the Game and crashing ist there anything I can do to fix it?

[teal trail]

you have the claim it on the website

at least i had to

[strange torrent]

ah ok let me check it out

[placid plinth]

I have no information regarding bugs or support issues

[gentle ridge]

Question has anyone accidently deleted a bought inv tab?? and if so is it just gone and you wasted the gold on said tab??

[strange torrent]

@teal trail where do i claim it on the website?

[hybrid fern]

On Prismatic Gaze, it specifies "mana cost does not include mana consumption effects". Does this mean skills that cast other skills when you use them? For example, if Surge uses Lightning Blast, is the Lightning Blast mana cost part of the cost or is that a consumption effect?

[placid plinth]

make more categories, it will come back

[gentle ridge]

@placid plinth ok thanks

[teal trail]

uh click on your profile picture in the top right after loging in, i think it was there somewhere

[placid plinth]

I think that's a mana cost because it's for a specializable skill but I'm not sure it triggers because you didn't cast it yourself. I'm not sure how Prismatic Gaze is worded.

[hybrid fern]

Okay. Thanks!

[winged lichen]

https://portal.lastepoch.com/claim-backpack this worked for me

[placid plinth]

I have no information regarding bugs at all. The only indication I have that there is a problem is you and the person just above.

If there is an widespread issue, I'm sure someone is working on it.

[grizzled galleon]

Mike, there have been servers issues for EU for the last 5 hours, are you unaware??

[placid plinth]

I'm not the person you want to be aware of that.

[grizzled galleon]

Ah ok, thanks 🙂

[severe vortex]

but what is the reason to not drop them instantly even if it can roll much more loot? is it like performance or something else?

[placid plinth]

I just woke up 28 mins ago

[placid plinth]

yes

[nocturne sandal]

I'm running a cold base Druid using the Gathering Storm node in Maelstrom and Rotten Core in Thorn Totems. It's been my experience so far that the explosion from Rotten Core NEVER triggers Gathering Storm in Maelstrom. If I do an entire mono solely killing with the Rotten Core explosion, I will not see a single stack of Maelstrom. Is that node supposed to be my kills only, and not minion kills, or is this unintended behavior?

[placid plinth]

I checked, someone was already working on it.

[placid plinth]

you are not your minions. you are you.
Rotten Core is your minion killing something

[nocturne sandal]

Is there a part of the phrasing from gathering storm that I should have known that? It says Killing an enemy, and Chance on Kill.

I'm not disagreeing with you of course! I'm just curious if it could be phrased differently to make that distinction clearer.

[placid plinth]

I think it's just the default expectation that you need to do the thing to trigger your effects. It could possibly be worded better to make that clearer.

[tropic basin]

Morning Mike. In general, do time based skill triggers like Lightning from Tornado benefit from increased CDR? If so, how does it work with frequency nodes on skill tree like this one?

[placid plinth]

no

[fallen pumice]

How would Firebrand's Galvanize work with Inferno, if at all? Would it give a chance to cause Spreading Flames on shock instead of ignite? Would it give more lightning damage instead of fire damage against Spreading Flames?

[placid plinth]

unless it says that it will change in the alt tooltip, the nodes do what they say. I'm not sure what those nodes do off the top of my head. I'm pretty sure it doesn't do what you want it to from that.

[teal trail]

What's the thought process behind wands/sceptres being basically Unable to roll minion modifiers? Sceptres can roll minion spell damage, or physical damage, wands can't roll any minion modifiers at all??? I seem almost biased towards wearing a staff - even though there is a minion based base sceptre - as a summoner i kinda dont need these weird caster stats on a weapon/chance to X on hit.

ONE OF US! Follow up q: are you stoked about Tears of the Kingdom, and have you managed to not spoil anything for yourself?

[placid plinth]

I scheduled a week off the second we learned the release date. I have seen the trailers but I've avoided all the in depth analysis (which is killing me)

[pearl robin]

So Eternal Eclipse the Two-Handed Sword Unique Khopesh the buffs are when you use the ability? Is this intended? They are wrote in a similar fashion as Patient Doom (Every 3 seconds your next attack...) but the buff doesn't appear till after I attack. Also does Void Echo proc use the Eternal Eclipse Buff? I ask this question because it says "Your attacks"

[placid plinth]

sounds like it's just displaying differently. the effects are the same condition. it does not work with the echo, only your direct attacks.

[pearl robin]

To clarify the buff is NOT there until I attack it doesn't seem to be a display issue

[obtuse osprey]

Still no eta on bladedancer fixes ?

[placid plinth]

I have no etas on anything, we are working on getting bugs fixed as quick as we can.

[gentle ridge]

ok so I guess in the inv 8 is the magic number also has anyone had a mirrored tab

I have one tab I cannot delete and it shows the same as the tab before it

[placid plinth]

yea, I just checked, it is a display issue. the buff icon is wrong

[pearl robin]

@placid plinth and just to be clear sir I should every 2 seconds be getting both buffs even with out previous attacks?

[placid plinth]

just because you say it in another language, doesn't make it any more appropriate. read the #rules

[limber drift]

If the cooldown of a melee skill such as maul had it's cooldown reduced enough, would it begin to be limited by the attack speed of the equipped weapon?

[teal trail]

he just said that you are getting the buff but it doesn't show up if i interpreted that correctly

[placid plinth]

yes and you are even though it isn't showing it

[pearl robin]

@placid plinth ok thanks bud

[placid plinth]

if the cooldown could be reduced far enough, yes but because we use ICDRS and not standard CDR, you get diminishing returns and you'll technically never be able to completely remove the cooldown.

[pseudo juniper]

If i want to play with a friend and let's say he is lvl 40 and I'm lvl 90. Does the reduced XP from enemies cap at 0 level difference or would he get XP as the zone level would be 40 level below him?

[orchid topaz]

Do all the Enemy Modifiers you get from going to different nodes, apply to the Quest Echo Boss in the end when you are able to do it?

[drowsy kestrel]

Does Eterra's path limit great vines spawn to only 2? Or lowers it's chance to spawn?

[fickle perch]

I thought it was linear returns while CDR gets exponential returns. Is it not ?

[placid plinth]

100% is 1/2CD
200% is 1/3CD

[placid plinth]

if you are overleveled, you get normal xp for that zone, if you are severely overleveled, this xp will be insignificant.

if you are underleveled by more than 10 levels, you get xp as though the zone was 10 levels above you

[placid plinth]

if they are relevant to that boss, yes

[orchid topaz]

So if the modifier says "RARE enemies gain X" a boss wont gain it, since bosses arent rare, im assuming?

[placid plinth]

I'm not familiar with the exact wording off the top of my head

[placid plinth]

yes

[orchid topaz]

thx

[scarlet flume]

Gief screenshot, easiest way for Mike to answer

[brittle oxide]

why there is no warning\information when crafting a legendary item that this process will change minimal required level to equip it? like crafting legendary from items with 1 or 6 level required. Got extremely frustrated today after spending quite some time to prepare item for leveling alt character, only to waste two good items, because it only made sense to use that legendary on low level for speed and QoL?

would'n it make sense to warn, or show preview, or at least something? doing forum or google search before taking any new action in game kind of kills all the vibe of gaming 🙂

[drowsy kestrel]

after 2 are spawned it looks like 3rd despawns one of the previous

[pseudo juniper]

In the Patch Notes it's stated: If you are not the highest-level player, this threshold is reduced by the level disparity between you and the highest-level player (minimum of 2)
So there is a 50 level difference between us. If the zone is more than 10 levels above the underleveled player, he should now get XP as the zone is 40 level below him. Is this correct?

[scarlet flume]

good #368968647114227723 100% agree

[floral lance]

Just an idea, dunno much about servers, but i would assume you could reduce your load by having players timeout (afk) after a set amount of hours,

had my game up while sleeping, still connected 😛

[placid plinth]

I'm very confused. If you're the highest level player in the zone and are not more than 10 levels underleveled, you get normal xp for that zone.

[placid plinth]

#suggestions-and-like-to-see

[severe vortex]

Is there like a damage cap on bosses? I feel like boss takes same damage no matter how much hp i put on it

[teal trail]

well hp doesn't reduce the damage you do

[placid plinth]

they have adaptive DR that does adjust the damage they take as the fight goes on. The more damage you do, the faster the boss will die.

[severe vortex]

Oh so there is something making it closer than on rare mobs. Is there a formula?

[brittle oxide]

why not give players ability to choose servers manually when needed, like in many (most) games? there are many scenarios where auto assignment based on player location is doing really bad job. also sometimes ISP swap backbone routes for planned work or disaster recovery. Also adding load indicator to servers would help to choose optimal ping\server load ration

[placid plinth]

I don't know what it is, but yes there is a formula. The community game guide on the forums has more info

[placid plinth]

I don't have specific details on why the systems were set up like that.

[brittle oxide]

is there a hope that this can be changed in future?

[placid plinth]

yes, I'd also like to start asking people to respect #rules number 8 and not ping the devs if possible

[brittle oxide]

did not realize that responding to specific message to keep context is considered ping, but noted

[teal trail]

you can turn this off

if you click the blue "@ ON" they wont get pinged

I'd like to ask if echos do indeed work with the Counter Attack node in the sentinel passives?
and if so do they get a crit if I invest in the later perk that makes it a 100% crit?

[brittle oxide]

had no idea tbh 😄 ty

[plain spindle]

Hi Mike. Is it possible to change the jelkhors -mana cost affix to a total number rather than a hidden 3,5 that i assume.
I have 2 jelkhors with 4 mana roll, but one brings me down to 1 mana cost for DA and the other to 0 when dual wielding.

[pseudo juniper]

ok maybe it's better with another example: I'm lvl40 in a lvl60 zone so i get XP as the monsters were 10 level above me. Now another player joins my zone, he is lvl70. now the threshold for gaining XP is reduced by the level disparity between me and him, that's 30 level. So if he joins my zone, i would get XP as the zone was 20 level below me?

[placid plinth]

it should be

My druid has somehow skipped a chunk of story quests and is now at the end of time at level 11 with access to unlock a spec. Is that a feature or is it a bug? 😄

[brittle oxide]

will unique\set items get own on-character display accordingly to inventory models? seem right now they look identical to base item they are based on

[solemn ivy]

wouldn't that be veeeryyy obstructive to play multiplayer with a lot of different chars like in all other arpgs in the past decades? as I would not want to play with my high level friends?

[blissful matrix]

my first thought is that it should trigger counter attack for an echo and the other is just wondering if echos benefit from bonuses on those attacks

[placid plinth]

all weapons and off hands will have correct models by 1.0

[placid plinth]

yea, that's part of why I don't think it's right

[placid plinth]

I don't understand how echoes could trigger counterattack. I'm going to go with no, it doesn't work.

[blissful matrix]

alright. thank you c:

it's mostly reading echoes it just says it can echo melee attacks, but idk if it's for skills only

[placid plinth]

the echoes won't copy retribution

[random sand]

why dont unique items look unique on your character? im wearing woven flesh and it looks like generic mage robes. and im super disappointed

[copper dove]

Are there any plans on letting set items get legendary power? As it stands most of them are falling pretty far behind.

[solar geyser]

Are there plans to use movement skills in town?

[placid plinth]

because it takes a lot of time to get that in the game and adapting it for every character takes even longer

[placid plinth]

no, we are still working on the set item problem

[placid plinth]

no

[lilac coral]

question to stability of echos in Multiplayer. Just joinend a friend who had 202 stavility in a timeline i just unlocked. Now i also have 202 stability w/o doing anything, even if i leave his world. Is this intented?

and in addition to mine previous question. EHG does allow 3rd party overlay usage, like Yolomouse for example ?

[feral surge]

Hey Mike! Stat wise, are the squirrels from herald of the scurry just wolves with an innate 45% less damage modifier? Or does it work differently?

[placid plinth]

yolomouse is fine

[brittle oxide]

do regular wolves leap with you also?

[placid plinth]

yes

At what corruption does rav void drop chance max out (from gaspar) If i recall correctly back in the day it couldn't go past 3% chance so at what point do i reach that? 300? 400? 500 corruption?

Hey again, do these kind of affixes to aspects improve it for companions too?

[past glen]

hey guys, i cant find info about plans for trade/ssf system implementation. is it one of the top priorities or when could it be expected?

[glad maple]

hello, is it intended that when void cleave echoes with the gravity's edge node, the echo does not use the max distance? for example if I am across the screen from an enemy and hit them with the end of void cleave, the echo casts it where I started and totally misses the enemy. hope that makes sense

[placid plinth]

if you are applying it to your minion yes, but I can't remember how that one applies

[placid plinth]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/trade-development-update-introducing-merchants-guild-and-circle-of-fortune-factions/51994

[scenic cove]

Hi, Mike)
So Judgement has a spell tag, will this passive work on using Judgement?
And also, will Judgement scale with spell damage/spell crit?

[placid plinth]

the spell portion of it will be affected by spell stats

[serene kernel]

So not a game question here. I'm in school for 3D animation and Game design, with a focus on Level design. My Question(s) for you is "What are you looking for in a Portfolio?" and "Is it possible to see a portfolio of a current level designer?"

Feel free to DM the responses, as I know its not specific to Last Epoch.

Thanks in advance!

[placid plinth]

I actually am not sure if that will trigger, where is that node?

[scenic cove]

Paladin tree, second from the right on the top row

[placid plinth]

I don't really know. I think this would probably better be sent to #support and you could get in touch with someone more appropriate

[serene kernel]

thanks!

[feral surge]

Do these two stack to give me a 45% chance at a second spirit wolf, or does that not work?

[placid plinth]

it should trigger

[placid plinth]

it's technically 2 different effects but yea it would be 45% if you had 1 wolf

[feral surge]

oh, so the second one rolls the 45% individually for each wolf, rather than once for the whole pack?

[plucky crane]

If you go over 100% chance to apply bleed, can you apply multiple bleeds per attack?

[placid plinth]

yes

[plucky crane]

Cool, couldn't find that info anywhere, was thinking about creating a bleed build, and this is kind of key 😄

[scenic cove]

Will Judgement also get +1 level and proc ward gain from Twisty?

[placid plinth]

nvm, they are the same thing and are straight additive.

[placid plinth]

no

[feral surge]

So just for clarity, 145% works to have 1 wolf always with a 45% chance for 2?

[scarlet swift]

Good morning! Is there a way to make timelines in the monos have higher levels?

[austere echo]

Why can't monolith echoes give exalted boots/belts/gloves as a possible reward? Every other item slot/type is represented

Actually, catalysts might not be either, I'm not sure

[placid plinth]

I think it's a little unsynergistic and possibly bugged but as soon as you get over 100% it will spawn a wolf from each of your wolves

[placid plinth]

once you complete the last 3, empowered unlock and that is a level 100 version of all of them

[scarlet swift]

Thanks!

[placid plinth]

we focused on the slots with more item types available I think

[scenic cove]

So belt/glove/boot exalted nodes are not on the menu?)

[feral surge]

I'm sorry for asking, but I still don't understand. So going above 100% is pointless? Or going above 100% makes it always spawn 2 spirit wolves from each wolf?

[rough panther]

Mike, are there any talks to:

1. Add more cool/late game set items?
2. Give current set items some sort of love? (similar to how uniques got legendary potential)

[radiant cedar]

mike is there a way to restore a deleted character?

[static vale]

offline or online?

[radiant cedar]

online 😄

[static vale]

Yes.

[static vale]

Additionally, for the normal monos, increasing the corruption increases their level.

[placid plinth]

not that I know of

[placid plinth]

from what I can see here, it looks like it's pointless to go over 100%

[feral surge]

Thank you very much 🙂

Does physical damage increase directly affect bleed damage? So far the bleed tooltip just says the base number and that it ignores dodge & armor.

[half vine]

Asked in Community, curious if Devs have an answer. Say I'm in Empowered Monos and I get to the reset node for the Oro fight. Can I invite someone, queue up the node and them join in? If so, do they get boss specific loot?

As long as it is "increased physical damage" yes.

[placid plinth]

[pliant chasm]

Question, I'm noticing that gear or talents that increase melee void damage are currently not working for echo knight warpath, is this a bug or intended? I've tried on various pieces of gear that say 'added melee void damage' and also tried speccing into this in different ways like 'finality' on bottom of void knight tree. They are not currently increasing the damage done by warpath that has the tags 'melee' and 'void' in it

hey guys i unlocked all monoliths and have no more quests anymore and cant use the empowered monoliths. i also ran to the clock that should unlock it . any ideas what i can do?

Thank you Mike

[placid plinth]

don't think so, we don't use google as far as I know

[tiny flower]

@placid plinth im playing online. maybe its a server thing atm

[umbral stone]

I think I need to go submit something to support then, lag only coincides with the game sending 'large' (for dsl) amount of information to someIP.bc.googleusercontent.com

[plucky crane]

On Corsair's Blood Cowl it states +xx% Physical Penetration on Bleed I thought that bleeds bypassed armor?

[fallen pumice]

Armor is not physical resist

[plucky crane]

You have to relearn the skillpoints by killing enemies / gaining exp

[fallen pumice]

But yes. DoTs bypass armor. Armor protects against hits, not just physical. Physical resist protects against all kinds of physical damage.

[low peak]

A question about kill thresholds: let's say a skill has a 25% kill threshold. If that skill damages an enemy from 30% to 20% life, would I have to hit it again to proc the threshold?

[blissful swan]

If avalanche is converted to a targetable and no longer channeling spell, it doesn't behave like the rest of the spells, meaning you can't have multiple instances of it at once, the new one cancels the old one, is this intended 🤔 ?

yes

[zenith thorn]

do you guys have any plans for some sort of API that would allow us to import and process game data? For instance, i'm interested in pulling down item affixes and writing something that would let you sort by a number of filters. To the best of my knowledge, nothing of this nature exists already. I know of LEtools but if i'm not mistaken, that is done by reading game files

[placid plinth]

we don't have anything specific designed yet

[zenith thorn]

Thanks Mike. Is there a officially supported way that would let me grab those affixes for processing in the interim?

whether thats unzipping a game file, etc.

[pine dome]

Hi Mike, I was wondering how work eternal eclipse 2h unique sword with void cleave rift flame.
Can you procc both buffs from the sword with VC?
If yes do you procc them alternatively?
If you echo as a VK, does the echo benefit from the buff?

[jagged relic]

Does Barbed Assault (always +1) overwrite Thorn Barrage (chance for +2) or is that in addition to? The always fire 1 extra thorn text seems misleading

[velvet leaf]

How many exalted mods can an item have? I thought it was 1, but I've now heard an item can have multiple? If so, are there specific requirements to having multiple exalted mods?

Any chance to enable bo's anarchy (the new shurikens staff) to be used with dancing strikes? It's like a match made in heaven

[placid plinth]

they can all trigger all at once if a single attack meets the criteria. not sure if echo can do it, I suspect they can but it's all in 1 cooldown so if the echo gets it, you don't.

does anyone know if both the superconductor and tendrils nodes from arcane ascendance and disintegrate stack? are you casting lightning blasts from both if your disintegrating while in arcane ascendance?

[dry ridge]

Is julra's stardial intended to grant ward for mana spent by triggered abilities? The text specifies that it does not apply to "drained" mana, but doesn't mention "directly cast" - it's just "Mana Spent Gained as Ward" (EDIT: but it doesn't grant ward when you trigger a mana spending ability)

[velvet leaf]

Does corruption lower the damage of ailments? Going from regular monos to empowered seems to hit my ailment damage much harder than my hit damage. I'm looking at the mods and I'm not really understanding why?
Monsters seem to just have more hp? I haven't seen any mods that specifically say they reduce my ailment dmg or element dmg etc.

[placid plinth]

they don't directly interact with each other. they are separate and just work independently

[placid plinth]

It's basically just not supposed to work with things like disintegrate mana drain

[vernal locust]

awesome, i was trying to figure it out out but its hard with all the effects]

[placid plinth]

no but higher level enemies have higher hp

[dry ridge]

ah thanks so it might be an oversight / bug? I was trying out a build where all my actual mana spend is from Harbinger of Stars but I don't gain ward - I can post about it in #555817861529075713 perhaps if so (also holy cow more in love with the game than ever, can't believe yall are just hanging out on discord answering questions <3)

Hello, you're doing great with the updates to improve the game and fixing bugs. But I was wondering if you were aware of the long loading times between zones when playing in multiplayer. When one of us clicks on the next zone, it takes 15seconds to 30seconds before the loading screen appears.

Does endurance help to stay in Lich form longer? Does it reduces the damage taken from degen?

Is there a way to show minimap icons for exalted items (like those for uniques and sets)? Sometimes I miss those dropping while running around

[placid plinth]

no

[hollow apex]

It's a little unclear to me how exactly the scaling works on a totem casting upheaval for me. Will the totem's upheaval scale with my strength or attunement like upheaval does anymore? Also, regarding other talents in the tree that care if you have a 2h equipped, will those still function properly and check your equipped weapon? I think I already discovered that it uses whatever +minion base damage I can give it and it doesn't seem to scale off my weapon anymore.

[placid plinth]

strength and attunement still work as it gets converted to minion stats in totem mode.

it does switch to using minion and totem stats so you personal added melee damage doesn't apply any more

[fervent arrow]

One thing I am still a bit unclear on with how minions scale damage.

Say I have a minion that does melee fire damage.

And I scale fire damager and melee damage on my character. Will this impact the minion dmg at all? Or does it only scale of minion melee damage for example?

[placid plinth]

no, only minion stats affect minions

(manifest armor is a special case)

[hollow apex]

But the strength and attunement will now only scale the health of the totem? Or does it also secretly sneak the str/attunement % damage increases into the totem's cast as well?

[fervent arrow]

right thanks

[placid plinth]

it does 4% increased damage per point of strength and attunement for the totem

[hollow apex]

Ok, great, thanks, just wasn't sure as the only scaling noted on the totem's node when I hold alt only shows health increases

[meager gorge]

Hey Mike does this node convert all dodge rating into glancing blow from all sources or does it only convert the dusk shroud stacks dodge rating into glancing blow?

[placid plinth]

it's all, I'm curious why you think it might be only from dusk shroud, it doesn't mention it at all.

oh this node is after the dusk shroud nodes. it's just synergistic

[meager gorge]

Ah. I wasn't sure because it doesn't seem to be doing anything when I spec it. On the character sheet should I be adding my dodge chance and glancing blow together to get the correct value or should it be doing that for me and make my dodge 0%?

Currently when I spec into it or not it doesn't change my dodge chance to 0% or move my glancing blow chance. It might be bugged or I don't understand how it works. I know this isn't the bug place but I want to be sure before I make a report if that is the case.

[fast spade]

Quick confirm. For the purpose of Smelter's Wrath - Sulphurous Sublimination, does Area for Melee Area Skills 2h suffix stacks additively with area for area skills from gloves or amulet?

[placid plinth]

yes

[fiery lily]

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

Will do but should it be making my dodge 0% and updating that on my character sheet or should I be adding my dodge and glancing blow together to get the correct value? If that's the case then it's working as intended.

[south cedar]

This is a development question so take your time as it's not important or relevant. I was curious about what were some of your guys off-beat influences to the making of Lost Epoch? Stuff outside of ARPGs or even non video game influences from books to movies

[honest nimbus]

question about the gambler - does he no longer offer certain bases even after refreshing? example - i'm above lvl 58 so wanted to gamble for a bone amulet just to have a starter one for early end game to work with. refreshed multiple times and not one has shown up

[rare thicket]

Hi devs! Can anyone please explain me how the Mountain Endurance buff from the "Foot of the Mountain" boots, apply when the dodge convert to endurance? It makes no sense when it test it. Does the buff takes the flat endurance i have or something like that?

[mint spoke]

Is a spells dmg calculated when cast or hit? If I have a buff when I cast, but not when it hits, do I benefit from the buff or not

[placid plinth]

on hit, however any buffs get applied on cast

[mint spoke]

Awesome, thanks!

[placid plinth]

it applies to endurance threshold, not endurance

[placid plinth]

there is a list of bases that they can have. doesn't matter when the items are generated, it comes from that list

[placid plinth]

The biggest (and most obvious) is Chrono Trigger as a non-arpg influence. It's hard to point at one thing because little things leak in all the time from all sorts of games.

Like, dungeons for example, you get a special power in the dungeon, use it to solve puzzles throughout the dungeon and then it's the key to defeating the boss. Does that sound like any extremely famous game series to you?

[brave wasp]

Are the temporary global damage buffs snapshotted for the channeling skills? If I get 5 stacks from rip blood and start channeling life drain after - will my damage calculated based on the initial dmg bonus or only on current dmg, when bonus from rip blood wears out?

[placid plinth]

in most cases this should work. there are some where it doesn't, for example warpath doesn't work this way. rip blood and drain life should work

[brave wasp]

Is it the same for the disintegration for mage then? If any temporary dmg bonuses applies in the beginning of channeling - they will be used all the time while I channel?

[hollow apex]

Not sure if this is a bug but the tooltip doesn't match the effect for this spell

it gives endurance not endurance threshold

[placid plinth]

yes but if it triggers a mutated spell like lightning blast, that doesn't carry over

Then how the dodge is being converted?

[placid plinth]

100% of your dodge rating is converted to endurance threshold

[distant skiff]

Hi, does shock duration works with Flaming Surge to increase all ignites ?

[placid plinth]

what is flaming surge? (screenshot please)

[prime briar]

is ignite damage scaled by fire damage increases or just damage over time stuff?

[distant skiff]

both

[placid plinth]

shock duration still extends the duration of shocks and that can't apply shocks any more so it won't help at all

[placid plinth]

also generic and elemental damage increases

[distant skiff]

the tooltip mentions effects related to shock though

[prime briar]

Right, does increased % elemental damage? just wondering since there is a elemental over time % stat

[distant skiff]

but I'm not sure if all sources are taken into account in the tooltip dps calculation

[placid plinth]

shockDurationPerEquippedSword from inside the tree works but just an item that has shock duration on it doesn't work

[placid plinth]

both work

[distant skiff]

all right, guess I'll have to reroll my blessing, thank you for your answer !

[rare thicket]

Yeah it doesn't work. No matter how much flat dodge rate or % dodge rate i put, the endurance threshold doesn't move. It only moves up or down when i have more or less HP. Overall the boots option doesn't work with dodge.

[placid plinth]

I'd like to ask that we start observing #rules number 8, please don't ping the devs

[fallen pumice]

Question, I never managed to find it in the in-game guide. How exactly does dual wielding work in the nitty gritty details? Is your second weapon essentially just a stack stick? Or do attack skills hit twice as often as with 1 weapon? Is the attack speed averaged?

[placid plinth]

both weapons are stat sticks, weapon speeds are really just a more/less attack speed modifier in disguise, all the stats from both are applied

[fallen pumice]

So if you have 2 slow weapons you attack slower than with 1 slow weapon?

if it's below 1.0 I mean

[placid plinth]

sorry, weapon speeds are averaged

[fallen pumice]

Gotcha

[vernal locust]

will the afterglow passive trigger and double if i start channeling below the mana threshold but during the channel it goes up to meet it?

[fallen pumice]

Thanks. Already thought it worked that way, but good to have it confirmed so I don't have to work in dual wielding in every on-hit build xD

[meager basin]

Thanks for the continued communication, devs! You’re all fantastic.

A curious question: When an echo in the MoF is “kill things to find the objective,” is the objective location pre-determined upon loading the echo, or does it generate once you kill the appropriate number of enemies? Could you theoretically stumble upon it before you’ve killed the appropriate amount of things?

[placid plinth]

sorry, no idea what that is, can you post the specific nodes in question?

[placid plinth]

sorry, stumped me, I think it's pre-determined but I'm really not sure

[meager basin]

No worries. Thanks!

[placid plinth]

the cost has to be there right at the start

[meager basin]

Ha, make a “stump the devs” channel for fun sometime!

[placid plinth]

it's not hard to stump me

Well no worries. It really has no impact on anything other than my own curiosity.

[wheat flame]

Anything I can help with to track down the source of multiplayer desync after changing areas or when changing areas takes a really really long time (over a minute, sometimes). Not sure what to include in a bug report for this (if there isn’t one already)

Biggest source of frustration for my friend group ^

[rare thicket]

@placid plinthCan you please check whenever you have time if this option works with dodge. I tested it with flat dodge increase and % dodge rate increate and it doesn't convert the dodge to threshold. It's like the option itself doesn't react with anything other then the HP on my character.

[placid plinth]

if you really want to, sure, try to isolate variables, so get to a consistent repro state and start changing 1 thing at a time until something changes then go back to the start and change that 1 thing and see if it is just that or a combination of things. (you really don't have to do this)

[placid plinth]

see above slightly

[stiff solstice]

Question about Frost Shots from the Hail of Arrows tree: does the freeze rate multiplier stack per second (so +120% the first second, +240% the second, etc)? It's described differently than Nowhere to Hide's increasing damage.

[wheat flame]

I meant more along the lines of logs or something. I don’t think it’s anything specific on our end causing it. Seems to be any area change with multiplayer.

that has details on good things to include

[placid plinth]

no, it's just meaning that the full value is applied each time and not spread out

[meager gorge]

Does level of character matter when using a rune of ascendance? Can a level 5 get a lvl 80 unique?

does the dev that developed soulfire bastion kick puppies?

is a fix for the chat resetting to global coming soonish?

[plucky crane]

Over at the #🔪┃rogue section we're having a discussion and a lot of confusion, maybe some light could be shed.
Do the different parts of dancing strike count towards unique skills for flow?

[feral surge]

If it hasn't changed this patch, yes. Just like the different parts of cinder strike or umbral blades do.

[placid plinth]

no etas here

[placid plinth]

yes (when the icon changes is generally a decent indicator but not perfect)

[plucky crane]

NVM, I'm a slight idiot, was interjecting every attack of dancing with a flurry, which was breaking the cycle. Would like some feedback on the consumption of flow though ❤️

[meager cedar]

Serious question this time. Forge Strike has 25% chance to summon a Forged Weapon on hit. Is there any way to increase the chance to summon a forged weapon? So far, I have mixed feelings. It clears well in lvl 90 monos, but i feel like i need to hit multiple packs to get up to my maximum forged weapons (12)

[static violet]

If thorn totem scale from attunement does this means rotten core is also scalling from that?

[placid plinth]

yes (technically no but functionally yes)

[static violet]

It was kinda confusing for me since it doesnt have attunment scalling but I guess those scalling tags were for minion

[placid plinth]

I can't think of one off the top of my head but you can search the tree and you can look for items that might do it on this site: https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/

[placid plinth]

when you summon the minion, the scaling tags are applied and the minion gets those stats, then the minion casts the abilities and applies its stats to those abilities. Because it has gained stats from attunement, it has those stats to use on any ability it creates

[static violet]

Is also reason why dps tooltip for rotten core is not getting higher whenever I add attunment points?

[placid plinth]

because it can't know that the minion is going to be summoned with attunement

and attunement doesn't actually (directly) affect that spell at all

and you never cast that spell

[static violet]

Got it, thanks a lot

[meager cedar]

seems to be the only way to get more forged weapons, but not base chance on the skill itself. maybe another new passive is in order O.O

[fleet sentinel]

Any word on when supporter packs will be available again, yet? Moxjet did say that he didn't feel we should be buying something broken, but... feel like it's in a good spot now.

[frosty latch]

Some how the other day I got my game swapped to my secondary monitor. Now the game launches like that, once I use the Windows key hotkey it moves it but the resolution is stuck in low. Shutting down and relaunching, it still launches on secondary. Would re-installing the game fix this or is there something I can do with a config file or something?

[placid plinth]

delete the graphics config file, more info at#support

[frosty latch]

@placid plinth Thank you so much! I'll give that a try!

[feral surge]

There's a node in the warpath tree that makes you summon a weapon every 2 seconds or so while spinning.

I would really like to start enforcing #rules number 8, please don't ping the devs.

[frosty latch]

sorry 😦

[placid plinth]

it's ok, slowly reintroducing it as I've been ignoring it this week

[distant radish]

This might be a noob question but, I see there is elemental damage over time, does that mean bleed and poison count as physical damage over time? if so, does frailty affect poison?

[frosty latch]

it didn't work, going to try a re-install

[feral surge]

Bleed is physical damage over time. Poison (the ailment) is poison damage over time. Frailty affects all damage dealt by the monster with the frailty debuff

I see, tysm!

this is pretty much out of curiosity, but is there a reason that you cannot cast skills in cities anymore?
I usually would use movement skills to get around but they're all disabled. just curious

was there a bug that was found? or is it in preparation for something?

maybe for coop hubs people arent spamming spells all over the place

They are preparing for Shared Hubs

is there any known problems currently with connecting to the game? or traveling to new area's after connecting? (I ran a speed test and I'm good)

SO many posts by you Devs about all the bugs being fixed or your care and support of the community!

since there are plans for seasons, are there also plans to trim some of the mandatory 30-40 hours of unlocking empowered monos? most arpg players aren't even happy about having to spend 6 hours on a campaign

[mint spoke]

Is the AoE on Spark Nova in mage really small, and can you scale it? The spell doesn't seem to have an Area tag

[pastel wagon]

do you guys plan on adding presets for builds so we dont have to keep leveling the same characters and masteries just to play a different build?

[kindred sand]

@broken stag I would imagine since this is beta, and first time releasing multiplayer interaction bugs will be present and networking bugs are hard to triage sometimes given certain code branches are only reached under one of code flow execution. I would just hold off asking until they have time to analyze the issues to triage and locate then try and implement solutions.

[quasi crown]

cant find the second route for end of the storm... is there something special i have to do to trigger it?

[kindred sand]

They appear to utilize BeardedManStudio's for lots of multiplayer interactions via their sync* operations between all the different local/actor/ and some of the code may only be server side so they have to first location is it client side or server side bugs in the handling of the mutiplayer interactions.

[charred radish]

Hello, I'm playing Sentinel.
But there is certain idol affixes combination that seem to not drop for me.

For example Large/Adorned idols, can roll prefix "smite, increase damage/chance cast on throw", and "health/block effect" as suffix.
My question, is it possible for both of these affixes to drop in the same combination.

I've +120h since 0.9 launch, and I've not found a single idol with prefix "smite" and suffix "health/block".
Can this combination still drop, do I need to do 300-400 corruption to start seeing it to drop? or was that combination of affixes to strong and needed to be removed?

It depends on the conversation/answer you give in the quest echo where you have to collect the shards. If the answer you choose dont get to the one you want, end the conversation and start it over to select the other answer.

[tight cedar]

When consuming percent mana to give more damage (Judgement skill node). Does the passive in forge guard (Crushing blow) consider the percent consumed or the baseline mana cost of judgement?

[rotund wave]

Mike, does over 200% chance to apply spark charge on hit makes it able to apply 2 charges on one hit?

[bold beacon]

Let Liath go at the end of the 2nd quest... that opens up the other pathway

[placid plinth]

no

yes

So if you just increase the baseline mana cost of a skill, then crushing blows would give the increased damage?

it will work through an intermediary currency. The supporter pack bundles will be direct purchase though.

[karmic marten]

I have a question, is there any way in game or in the future to be able to see affix shards that we don't have? like be able to turn on a list while viewing our shards so we can see if we're missing ones or look for affixes that might be good for our builds in general?

[placid plinth]

kinda, you can see all the affixes in the loot filter

[karmic marten]

hmm, a bit inconvenient but a helpful way to look at affixes, thank you

[empty otter]

If i may add my two cents onto this thought, my wife and I were playing the other night and attempted to trade 1 shard, but they are un tradeable? If they are supposed to be more like items then auto pick-up currency, shouldn't they be tradeable or filterable like items? Or at least mentioned before hand what is or isint instead of having to try and figure it out ones self, like almost all minion stats

[dense dagger]

You can craft on an item that dropped together then have your wife rune of removal the affix to get it

[placid plinth]

they are in an odd spot at the moment

[empty otter]

SHes not... lets say as uhhh... adept at or into these types of games as us? Anything that takes extra time or etc makes her just hate the game and go back to playing her other stuff (total war historcal nut)... She sees it as a hole in game design or something?

[dense dagger]

That's just currently the only way to "trade" shards. If you'd like to discuss further we can go to a different channel

Hello is there any chance that monolith progress will eventually become account-wide instead of character bound? I find regrinding to empowered monoliths on each character to be a particular pain point for me.

Mike, - mana cost on jelkhors are whole numbers right? Not decimals that are just showing as whole?

[fluid wharf]

Yo devs . Are you gonna introduce an API / character export string or something so we can share builds in last epoch tools ... Since save files are non existent now .

Bit of a fuck around .. but you can use shard on item .. transfer item and then other player can rune of removal to guarantee all 5 shards . It's the only easy way of trading rare shards

dammitt has said he is working with the dev team and that online char importing should be implemented soon

[grave condor]

Hi Devs! I was interested in your design choice to introduce the built in teleport on the skeleton mage tree for acolyte/necromancer. How did you come up with the idea that the skeleton mage tree should also let your minions teleport with you? Why not add it to the regular acolyte teleport spell?

[craggy brook]

Hey Devs! Forge Guard question. When you summon a weapon and it says "affected by the stats and attack rate of your weapon" does this only apply to numbers but legendary effects as well. For instance, the 1H Axe "Undisputed", does the summoned forge weapon also deal 5% increased pysical damage for each recent melee hit against a bleeding enemy."

Does minion spell damage affect totem's damage?

[hollow apex]

@distant radish check the spell tag on the totem, if it has spell under the minion section, then yes

[acoustic atlas]

Aaron's will. You use twin souls, it will turn your extra golems small and use the smaller damage, but will not give you the extra golems you should get for them being at that size. You have +2 golems from 8+ skeletons and have the armor on it will give you 4 golems at small size doing less damage, rather than 6 or 2 small and 2 large. This intended or a bug?

[distant radish]

physical and spell, so its a yes even if its not in the scaling section, right? thanks

[patent owl]

Does Primalist's Maelstrom skill's energized node also affect other sources of lightning casts?

specifically those from idols or stormbreaker

[patent owl]

its intended afaik

twin souls turns all your golems small, and gives you +1 max golem specifically

not doubles your existing golem limit

that node wasnt designed with Aaron's will in mind

As a Void Knight, can things I proc be echoed? For example, can the smite idol proc echo?

[placid plinth]

smite is a spell, only melee or throwing attacks can be echoed
also only the things you use are echoed

[uneven token]

Sorry Mike but this is the desciption for Void Knight in game.

"Your melee attacks, Throwing attacks Void Spells have a 10% chance to be echoed."

But yeah ok I buy that only skills I directly use would echo.

Would be good if it was added to the description tho, the echo mechanic cant be found in the guide

Is there a bug or a known mechanic that removes the healing from consecrated ground via Judgement? I had it healing a lot before and now it isnt healing noticeably at all, i have 400+ healing effectiveness and it says the spell is 50 health per second base

There was talk before of a crit overhaul before but that never materialized.

Right now crit itemization completely dominates character building. Are they any plans to make flat crit chance accessible on more pieces of gear? The crit offhand/prismatic gaze stifle build options for spell casting builds to a large degree.

I introduced 3 friends to LE with the MP patch and even they noticed it, and they've played the game for some 30-ish hours.
