Have monsters base resistance/armour/dodge based on area level and their own rarity ? Or is it only through mods.

[fossil dune]

Only through mods

[hollow sandal]

is there no replacement for exp once you will hit lvl 100? I mean no profit from increased xp from corrupted monoliths, also one echo type basically become a brick you just want to avoid? any plans to change it somehow in the future or its intended to stay like this?

[stark ravine]

when we are going to be able to choose the server?

[radiant sundial]

So most of Paladin's passives have "increased healing effectiveness", but these are specified to apply to healing skills ONLY.

Does the Passive Bonus (1% Increased Healing Effectiveness per point of Attunement) work globally, or does it also fall under the same restriction as applying to skills only?

Thanks in advance~

*Example of a passive being limited to Healing Skills only.

[dense dagger]

If you mean for damage scaling of judgment, those work.

[radiant sundial]

I just mean it in general as there are some effects which scale with Health Regen by an amount - which are not Paladin Skills.

[cerulean nymph]

Healing effectiveness doesn't scale health Regen at all

[astral reef]

Hey Mike, if i have lvl20 skill and i respec it how many levels it loses?

[radiant sundial]

😩 Unfortunate but oh well, thanks for the help (though I find that a bit weird that innate healing isn't affected by healing effectiveness, perhaps I'll throw up a suggestion in regards to that at some point unless EHG have a stance on it).

[fickle perch]

Regarding @radiant sundial point, would this be considered a skill on which healing effectiveness apply despite it being a passive ?

[brisk agate]

I am sure this has been asked like 50.000 times but please, let us show our character name instead of account name. I even chose an account name that I dont really like, cause I didnt know it was going to be the name shown to everybody (this is not how it works for the 99% of games)

so you didn't give up on them and we can expect to see them at some point?

[placid plinth]

depends what level you are. your minimum skill level at high levels is 10

[placid plinth]

maybe

[astral reef]

i am lvl83 atm so i guess its -10?

[placid plinth]

no, it's not -10, it's 10

if you're at 19, it still goes to 10

[astral reef]

ah right

thanks

[feral surge]

One slight upside from level 100 - exp rewards give a comically large amount of exp, which means that picking up just one exp book instantly levels all your skills to specialization level 20. It's neat when you want to mess around a lot with specializations.

[sullen dune]

is the Deliverance node from the Judgement tree supposed to not work with the Sanctification node? It just says it wont deal damage, not that it wont hit

[blissful matrix]

this is pretty much out of curiosity, but how far do you think you are from the release of 1.0?
are there plans for a couple of updates for about a year or two before it's out?
or is it much more in reach for a couple of months only?
I know there's no ETA or anything, but a friend of mine is curious how many more updates it should have before release

I thought 1.0 is definitely not the next update at the very least

[mellow tundra]

where can i get help with a bug a bunch of my items just disappeared?

[placid plinth]

We are aware of a bug where in rare cases servers aren't shutting down properly and those servers can sometimes have a rare issue that sends an old version of your character to the database.

If you have experienced a rollback like this we can't restore the items.

We have a potential fix in testing for this.

If you just can't pick them up off the ground press alt+z

Hey Mike, how do you guys feel about the state of melee right now? Personally I feel that melee are at a disadvantage where it needs to be up close to enemies , while also being under fire from ranged mobs. What advantage do melees have over ranged? It seems like there's no benefit to playing melee other than a preference

[hexed stump]

game dont work

[mellow tundra]

aight those items are a write off so, my gamblers fallacy just reappeared though

[velvet prawn]

Hey Mike, got a question regarding mana strike. If you take the "Teleporting Strikes" Passives, does manastrike still benefit from things like "increased melee attack speed" or "chance to apply spark charges on melee hit", cuz the passive says "mana strike is ranged" but hovering over the skill still shows the "melee tag" 😄

[buoyant trail]

What is "high health" for a monster?

[placid plinth]

Ranged isn't an attack type, melee, throwing, bow or spell

[placid plinth]

85% I think

I think melee feels great to play right now. It's what I've been doing and it's going great. Thanks for the #368968647114227723

[velvet prawn]

alright so modifiers should still apply then 😄

[buoyant trail]

Oh that makes sense. I thought it was some sort of rare monster affix like they have more health. Obvious now. 🙂

[plucky crane]

Hey, since we're back open, I will repost the question I had for the community but couldn't find an answer. When a skill says: blinds: reduces accuracy and reduces chance to be critically hit. The tooltip only says -50% crit chance.
What is this "accuracy"? Are they going to just miss me, or do I have higher chance to dodge? Or do they act like they're from a lower level area? Bit confusing wording

[placid plinth]

It adds a left right random variance to their targeting so they have bad accuracy literally.

[plucky crane]

Aaaah, so it's their ranged skills, that makes sense I guess, not sure if it's that effective as those things are somewhat tied to melee abilities of rogue specific skills at least. But yeah, now the wording does make sense, cheers! 👍

[magic flax]

Hello Mike, questions on reflected damage:

• Is the flat reflected damage "typeless"? or is it physical?

• do generic "increased damage" from passive points affect it at all?

• can it crit?

• is the % of reflected damage taken from hits BEFORE armour and mitigation or after? i.e. if an enemy hits me for 1000 damage, and i would mitigate it to 500, with 100% damage reflected would it be 500 or 1000 damage?

[static vale]

Typeless, can't remember (but think no, since it doesn't interact with the usual damage calc), no, after all mitigation.

[humble flower]

Does flat +spell damage scale fire aura too? Or just %increased?

[magic flax]

Wrong reply

[vagrant jackal]

Ive posted about the bug on the forums , i just went to check and my single player character still has the visual of the blood shield

but not online.

It may be that Exanguinous armors that drop beyond a certain patch no longer give this visual....

Because the one i have in single player is quite old.

Hope it gets fixed that blood shield was a very cool feature indeed

and exanguinous is very hard to farm :<

Is it a bug or was it in the patch notes that now doing Temporal Sanctum unlocks the direction to the next floor only when you're literally next to it?
To better refrase, i explore the entire floor and the icon on the minimap to direct me to the door for the next floor appears only when im very very close... before it would appear after a bit of exploration, like half the floor

Hi Mike, I've been trying out Detonating Arrow with two Jelkhor's daggers, and I'm not sure if Lightning Tendrils scales with the flat melee damage on the Jelkhor's. Equipping Jelkhor's adds the melee tag to DA, but when I hold alt over either the Arcing Blast or Piercing Thunder nodes on the skill tree the tooltip for Lightning Tendrils indicates that it only scales with lightning and bow attack damage, not melee. Does lightning tendrils somehow inherit the melee tag from DA and scale with flat melee damage, or are the tooltips telling the full story and tendrils does not scale this way?

[placid plinth]

it hasn't changed, it's based on the number of enemies you kill

[magic flax]

Ok so then its bugged, cause only one of the two appears at a time, and only when im close. ive killed almost all enemies of the second floor and it just appeared when i got close

Shockwave doesn't get a cold tag when Upheaval is converted to cold (not a bug report, just context) - if I've taken into a node that says "Upheaval has additional freeze rate", will Shockwave still inherit that somehow despite not being Cold? Or is it only damage modifiers that get passed down?

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.

[magic flax]

If i have an Arek's bone unique MACE, can i combine it with an exalted sceptre with the suffix "increased minion spell damage" that Maces cannot roll? Or is that affix prevented from getting chosen as legendary affix?

[light matrix]

So, the Bone Golem has an aura that gives armor to other minions. With the Twined Golem node, does that cause the aura to stack if a minion is in range of both, or just extra area for your minions as there are two golems with the aura?

[rigid cedar]

Have a couple of questions for our game guide Mike today 😄

1. What difference does Cast Speed make for Spark Charges (if any)?
2. Is it intended that Arcane Momentum doesn't proc on triggered skills? Reported it as a bug just in case (even if it's intended, then the description is not clear)
3. +spell damage applies to Spark Charges and Elemental Bursts, right?
4. How does party XP play work, exactly? I have read the patch notes a lot of times but I still don't get it. If I'm level 90, my friend in a party is level 80, and we're farming level 100 area, how do we get exp? I get exp from level 100 (because it's 90+10=100), and my friend, uhh, how much? Reading "threshold is reduced by the level disparity" makes me think that my friend won't get any exp because threshold of 10 is reduced by 10 level disparity

[placid plinth]

you have to combine maces with maces

[placid plinth]

all auras don't stack, they alternate

[light matrix]

Alternate?

[placid plinth]

if 2 have the same stat but at different values they will constantly override each other and you will yoyo your stats

only really noticeable with 2 holy auras

[light matrix]

Ah, well I would assume there wont be a yoyo involved as the auras are just coming from the golems. Still, two golems means that any minion close to at least one of them will get the extra armor then, correct?

[placid plinth]

1. none
2. I avoid "intended" questions. bugs to go the forums
3. yea
4. if you are more than 10 levels underleveled, you gain xp as though the zone is 10 levels above you

[placid plinth]

[light matrix]

And if you are a high level player in a low level zone, how does that work exactly?

[placid plinth]

if you are more than 10 levels underleveled, you gain xp as though the zone is 10 levels above you

[light matrix]

That's the opposite of the question I asked.

[placid plinth]

nope

if you are lvl 10 in a lvl 100 zone, you get xp as though it was a lvl 20 zone

[rigid cedar]

Both for the highest- and not the highest-level player?

[placid plinth]

as far as I know

[rigid cedar]

Okay, thanks! The patch notes entry was very unclear 😟

[light matrix]

I was asking if say I'm a high level player powering a lower level player though the early campaign, the XP for me, as the high level player in a low level zone.

[placid plinth]

[south chasm]

ok so it does affect myself then? Because it doesn't change my bleed chance in the character screen as well

[cosmic palm]

My thinking says yes - but do blessings that increase the chance of a specific item type dropping, also increase the odds of a unique of that type dropping?

[placid plinth]

I don't think it can hit yourself

[placid plinth]

yes, however it is important to note that it does this by dropping more items rather than shifting the % of items in the existing pools

Does Mana Regen / Mana Efficiency affect Rage? I'm assuming not, but can't find anything on Rage in the Game Guide.

[placid plinth]

not really, this is part of why we like the backload gear drops in echoes at the end

[tacit zephyr]

"backload"? Is that a specific mechanic for unpicked items, or just a term for the chest?

[placid plinth]

I don't actually know, technically speaking rage and mana are actually the same thing with a different colour filter applied. I think your mana regen might get forced to 0 while being transformed?

[placid plinth]

just a term for most of the items dropping from the last things you kill in the echo and the majority of the rewards coming from the chest/floating crystal thing when you are out of danger

[tacit zephyr]

Ah, too bad. Would be nice to have some kind of such mechanic.
Anyway, wish a good rest/evening.

How does the training dummy actually scale? Now there's only one that can be targeted by totems in the arena for example. When i target it with my storm totem, it does 14k crit damage. Then i go in a random echo in my empowered mono and it does 1500, max 2500 crit damage. Is that enemy level scaling?

the non-boss dummy just has 0 defenses of any sort (other than giant health regen and health pool)

[plucky crane]

The skill Trickling Cuts on Dancing Strikes is named quite weird, I'm unsure what it does or should do.
Text is:

Dancing Strikes deals more damage over time (multiplicative with other modifiers) for each time you have used Dancing Strikes recently.
Damage Over Time: +2% per point

So this only affects the dot part of dancing strikes? (which is non-existent) Or this affects the dots applied by dancing strikes only? Also this states for each time implying it scales with how many times you used dancing strikes it in the last 4 seconds.
I are confused.

[magic flax]

Oh ok, but when i try to target with A the boss dummy with my totems, they dont attack it.. does A only works for companions or other minions?

[placid plinth]

here is an alternative way to think about it

every time you use dancing strikes you get a buff that lasts 4 seconds

this buff can stack but each stack has a unique timer each ones falls off individually 4s after it is applied instead of all together.

if you use the ability 10 times in 1s somehow, you will have 10 stacks.

each stack gives +2% more dot damage per point.

So, if you have 1 point invested and you have used dancing strikes 5 times in the last 4s. Then you use dancing strikes, all dots that are applied deal 10% more damage.

(this isn't quite what is actually happening because more effects are multiplicative with each other but other than that, this is effectively what is happening and the math works)

[plucky crane]

Thanks for clearing that up Mike, it's still quite confusing, especially trying to understand how useful it is on a skill which has a 0.733 (repeating of course) attacks per second 😄

So maximum stacks given perfect netcode is 5, which means a total of 30% increase in dot dmg for all those applied for all those applied when you keep spamming the skill, since as you keep adding the buff, the others keep falling off, since you said: unique timer.

Is there any intentions to add a lootfilter option to make items appear on the map? If yes, any specific time plans?
If no, would that be an useful option to add? Or is there a problem to make it happen?

[blissful swan]

Does this give global melee to minions/allies as well or just me?

[placid plinth]

Giving players the ability to ruin the game (adding a rule that says all items have a map icon for example) is dangerous so we haven't done it yet. We know that many people want this option and we are considering the best way to do it if possible.

[placid plinth]

It changes the stats provided to whoever the totem is specialized to give those stats to.

[blissful swan]

Oh so assuming I didn't take the node that affects only companions then it should affect all allies

Thanks

[mystic musk]

do bosses' unique drop weightings change in empowered monoliths? for example does the twisted heart of uhkeiros drop with a higher relative frequency from emperor of corpses compared to its unempowered version?

[placid plinth]

It's just corruption. Some won't drop in unempowered because it can't get high enough corruption

[magic flax]

Question about Bone Golem's "kindling" node: the node says more damage per minion consumed... it means for the whole duration of the Infernal Aura, correct?

Also, thanks a lot for being all the help Mike

[mint jolt]

Is he referring to the arena? Every time I’ve tried to do arena I either disconnect, lag so bad I die, or the zone doesn’t load. I have no issues with any other content just the arena key

[magic flax]

Same.. ive given up getting my Totem belt

[quiet shoal]

Dungeons have an issue? Or you mean the arena?

[mortal forum]

Dungeons

[placid plinth]

yes

some people are having issues in the arena and/or dungeons and other areas too. It's generally the worst in the dungeons but it's not an everyone issue so it's a little trickier to track down. We are working on these stability issues as a very high priority problem

[warm zinc]

Hey Mike, do you know how Attunement and Strength scale Swarmblade? It doesn't have the info on the More Information tab.

Secondary question: How do Locust stacks scale Locust Swarm? It seems to increase area, but one node on the tree mentions that it adds the ability for the stacks to scale damage so perhaps that is not baseline?

[vale solstice]

Does reactive ward apply to hits that take you straight from above 70% to dead? or is it applied retroactively like endurance?

[placid plinth]

the scaling tags on the transform skills show which scaling tags the skills which will go onto your bar will scale with when you transform. they don't have any direct impact on the actual transformation process. (well attunement kinda does because it affects your max mana so also your max rage)

locust swarm base damage scaling can be found by holding alt on the tooltip to show the scaling tags, here they are
Per point of Attunement
4% increased Damage
+4% Freeze Rate Multiplier

[placid plinth]

no

[umbral gull]

I'm confused about boosting. I went to End of Time and my buddy portal'd to me. This skipped the quests up to that point, and gave him 3 passives.

I figured he would have 2 passives from leveling, and 2 passives from quests. He just has 3 passives.

Is there something I'm not understanding about this? Are there enough passive points on the world map to make up the difference?

For more info, his map says (2/15) passives

[final cave]

What's the thinking behind gaze of orobyss and corruption only being rewarded to party host rather than to all party members?

[warm zinc]

Got it, thanks for the answer. I found the info for the Locust stacks on the ability itself, somehow missed it when I checked before. 🙂

[placid plinth]

there are more quests which grant passive points than there are passive points available to be gained from quests. once you have completed 15 of them, quests which would normally grant a passive point, don't.

[verbal heron]

Are Boss uniques(like Ravenous Void) locked out of the pool of Rune of Ascendance, or is it possible to get them?

[mild oyster]

ravenous void is a special case because it's also general drop pool so it is in the rune of ascendance pool, but other boss uniques are not

[verbal heron]

Ahh thanks for clarifying^^

[hidden hearth]

Mike: Do you know if the passives that grant bonuses to shrapnel for Volcanic Orb and Meteor affect each other's shrapnel? COmmunity wasn't able to answer

[severe vortex]

Why do mobs in arena/beacon echoes drop substantially less loot? Also are there any plans to make those arenas more challenging/engaging in some way?

[sharp burrow]

So in theory, when I use Vortex Pennant and also use idols with "Chance to cast Smite on hit with throwing attacks". Is it possible that while channeling Warpath, axes hit enemies and that triggers smite?

[static vale]

No, skill nodes only affect the skill they are in unless specify otherwise.

[static vale]

Yes, that is the point of the Axe Thrower passive & Smite on Throwing hit combo.

[placid plinth]

When they dropped loot it was....problematic...to say the least. We have no immediate plans to make major changes to the arena echoes at the moment. If you really dislike them, the name always has "arena" in it so you can avoid them if you'd like. You are always welcome to leave a #suggestions-and-like-to-see if there is something you would like to see in there.

[meager cedar]

speaking of the arena echoes, I recall there being a wave count before .9, however its gone now. was that intentional or is a bug no one has mentioned?

[exotic arrow]

I have two questions.

1. Did you change how rune of shattering works? Cause sometimes the rune disappears without shattering the item making a sound like cracking.
2. Before MP when you cleared an echo the shop would renew sometimes and you could buy rune of shattering. Now we play with my friend and the shop never carries shattering runes anymore.

[final cave]

!bug

[fiery lily]

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

[nocturne jackal]

The shop definitely refreshes it takes quite a few echoes before it does though. But yeah I think runes of shattering are bugged

[keen juniper]

Any ETA on the spriggen form bar thingy that happens from time to time? (ignore if wrong channel)

[spark hound]

No formal ETA but it's been mentioned multiple times as a high priority item they are working on.

[spark hound]

If you aren't aware already it seems that if you only left click to transition zones (don't right click at all during loading) then the bug doesn't occur

[opaque falcon]

as someone who wants to read quest dialogue I find it extremely jarring that in mp you miss all dialogue as only one person can talk to npc. any chances to get this changed so that quests are not automatically taken or completed by other players?

i know some players don't care about the story and lore, but as someone who does this makes mp "unplayable"

[teal trail]

if i turn wandering spirits into a channeled skill will cast speed affect how fast spirits are revealed?

Hello,

Do you know if fire aura can retrigger itself with this body armour mod?

Since fire aura is a fire skill

Its kinda hard to test this out

[plain forge]

I was looking at your guys's job postings and saw it was mostly senior level. Would you guys consider hiring like a entry level / intern? Was mostly looking for like experience in the game development world and I really like last epoch lol, by far the best arpg and the first one to do a lot of things right

[summer moth]

Question about Ricochet targeting from shield throw,. Is it proximity based? Additionally, does it priorities enemy's for its "next" ricochet of of an ally if it is within range?

[placid plinth]

Almost nothing ever can trigger itself. I don't know of any expedition to this.

[steep escarp]

Alright, thanks!

[placid plinth]

I'm not really one of the people who handles hiring any more but you're always welcome to submit an application. Worst case scenario is they say no.

[quartz current]

if minions cast 'sacrifice' - does their sacrifice benefit from any investment into the sacrifice skill tree?

[placid plinth]

No

[quartz current]

thanks

[placid plinth]

It doesn't really care where it goes next, as long as it has a good target. So as soon as it finds any target, it will go to it and stop checking. There is no comparison of eligible targets phase.

The order it checks in is fairly arbitrary.

[plain forge]

Thanks! Follow up about an actual game question, is there a plan to have any tornado specific / lightning 2h staff uniques in the future possibly?

[placid plinth]

No, but also not planned to not have it. It's just not any plans around that.

From what I've seen even some devs in the fourms agree that the shaman needs work was just curious when updates for it may be coming regarding the actual class or weapons it uses

Can Locust Swarm apply freeze? Freeze Multiplier in game states that cold skills have a chance to apply freeze on hit, so it makes sense that it wouldn't. But I also see that attunement increases Locust Swarm freeze rate multiplier which has me confused?

[mild oyster]

item rarity affects the "rare" boss unique drop rates, correct?

[placid plinth]

Increased Item Rarity is an effect you will build up by going deep into the Monolith of Fate. Both corruption and the number/type of enemy modifiers currently active in a Timeline will boost its increased item rarity. This modifier increases the average number of affixes on items, resulting in more Rare items and more Exalted items. It also increases the chance of finding Unique and Set items.

Similarly, there are effects like “Increased Amulet Drop Rate” which are typically granted by Blessings. This would cause more amulets (including Unique and Set items of that type) to drop for you without affecting how many items of other types drop. However, these Blessings do not affect boss specific drops, only random drops.```

Total newb here. Question regarding poison... How does %chance to poison work? Based on the fact some builds I've seen have 300%+ . I'm assuming and hoping for confirmation or correction... That at 300% you would guarantee 3 stacks of poison. Is this correct or does it have some wonky thing with monster resistances that u need more than 100%?

[crude plover]

does not work

[crude plover]

you are correct as far as i know. it will apply 3 stacks of poison per attack

How do I get out of this loop?

[north vessel]

use incognito or clear cookies maybe

[desert phoenix]

Why is the game keeps connecting me from US West Server when i am from Asia , the other day i am always in Asia. yesterday i always ask my friend to invite me so i can change to his Server

[placid plinth]

There is a problem where when the servers are being selected, your nearest server can have abnormally high ping for some reason. The game checks all the servers and your local one is not the fastest. So it connects to the fastest one. In your case this is flipping to US West. It is correctly putting you in the server which has the lowest ping check. We aren't sure why some servers are having issues with this ping check yet.

[solid nimbus]

Incognito worked, thanks!

[cyan sun]

Is it possible to transfer/copy a character from SAF to standard to be able to give multiplayer a try?

[desert phoenix]

Not so true at all because i have a better ping in Asia with my friend no rubberband or any lag at all unlike when i am in US West there is always a rubberband and there is always a delay

[placid plinth]

I understand what you're saying but what I have said does not contradict it and is also true.

If you would like me to try and explain it a different way I can do that.

[placid plinth]

Options -> far right tab

[umbral jungle]

so the skill description for twisters from maelstrom on primalist says it does cold damage, but the tool database says it does physical -- which is correct?

talking about this

skills db has it listed like this

[placid plinth]

Well neither of those are actually 100% reliable. My guess is physical. If you hold alt on the in game one it will show you the actual skill tooltip.

[umbral jungle]

holding alt while mousing over grip of chaos does nothing, tried that already

[placid plinth]

That's too bad, if another node references the same skill, it might have it too.

[umbral jungle]

works for power of the storm, not for grip of chaos

[umbral jungle]

nah this is the only source

my assumption is it's physical due to the similarity to tornado which is physical, but no way of telling for sure it looks like

[placid plinth]

If you ask Monday I can actually check.

[umbral jungle]

will do, ill make a note to ask you then 🙂

[placid plinth]

It should be physical.

[umbral jungle]

[hot copper]

do you happen to know the legendary potential formula? (e.g. how relative legendary potential level affect the chance of a unique dropping with 1,2,3,4LP and/or how it's calculated?)

[cursive basin]

so when seasons/cycles are a thing, and they end, will their inventory and stashtab merge with standard?

[cyan sun]

thank you, does this transfer every SAF character & every stash or only the character that your'e on?

[placid plinth]

Not off the top of my head no. It's fairly complex. The TLDR of it is over LVL 100, aim for 1LP as a huge find.

[placid plinth]

It moves all the items you currently have equipped and in your inventory.

[hot copper]

ty. the dream for a 1LP Ravenous Void (LPL105) continues... ><

[cyan sun]

I see thank you

[placid plinth]

Probably

[placid plinth]

I have never heard of a 2LP ravenous void being found but I'm sure it will happen eventually.

[hot copper]

as long as it's possible.... even a 0.0000000...00000000000000001% would be the jackpot chase :D (winning multiple lotteries)

[placid plinth]

Yup, technically 4LP is possible on it

[final cave]

Heat death of the universe is also going to happen one day

[tepid night]

Is there a reason why boss telegraphs are elevated? It makes it difficult to gauge if you're going to get hit or not and you don't always have time to do advanced algebra before an ability triggers and kills you.

[hot copper]

plenty of time to find 4LP Ravenous Void :)

[cursive basin]

are the echo rewards LP affected by the monolith level?

[ripe oak]

[placid plinth]

Bugs be bugs

[tepid night]

Ahh

[placid plinth]

Yes

[placid plinth]

#support

[hot copper]

follow up on that, then is LP directly affected by the corruption or rarity (or both)?

[placid plinth]

No, just Zone level

[hot copper]

ah so lv100 zones (which seems to be the max atm) is best place to farm for LP uniques (and t7 exalteds?) ideally with as much rarity as possible

[placid plinth]

Exalteds are a rarity increase

And rarity increases do get you not uniques which indirectly get you more LP

[hot copper]

ahh so just more rarity = more t7s + more uniques (eg more chance at more LP)

[placid plinth]

It's really simple. To get the best stuff, farm the hardest stuff you can do efficiently.

[hot copper]

it would be great to be able to adjust corruption level on the fly (eg a slider/bar as a range capping out at the highest corruption unlocked so far) to have flexibility/agency on difficulty levels (for days when you just want to relax, trying a new setup, or experimenting to find a sweet spot between speed/difficulty/efficiency)

[placid plinth]

#suggestions-and-like-to-see

[round estuary]

Hello, i have a question. Why ''dark shroud of cinders'' unique body armor gives ''fire cast speed'' instead of void or regular cast speed? Lament of the lost refuge unique two-handed spear turns volcanic orb to void so volcanic orb is loosing it's fire tag. So fire cast speed becomes an useless affix to the body armour which this build really needs since casting volcanic orb makes the build very clunky especially when you take the ''infernal caster'' node from volcanic orb tree as a spellblade.

[placid plinth]

not at the moment but feel free to leave a #suggestions-and-like-to-see

[placid plinth]

It's a combination fire/void item so it has both fire and void stats on it. It's not an overly useful affix for that specific build but I think it's not uncommon to have some affixes be non-optimal, especially when using uniques that you can't fully control every affix on.

[scarlet flume]

Hey Mike, do you know if the extra 5% dmg per poison stack from the serpent strike node converts into extra dmg per frostbite in swarmblade if i have the vipers call node? I have tested and the poison is indeed converted to frostbite just cant tell if the bonus dmg is also applying for frostbite.

Good morning, I restarted playing for the first time in over 1 year.
I have a new Keyboard which DOES NOT have a numberpad. I was using the numberpad for quick casting (the classic assign skill to numberpad, activate and turn off numberpad). As i cannot do that anymore, i was wondering if scripts to do the same things is something against the term of use of the game or if it is perfectly legal for me to do?

i would use macros with AHK for example

[spare hawk]

is it normal not to see the buffs and debuffs under the storm totem's life bar? (i don't know if it is the same for other minions)

[placid plinth]

I do know, it does not. Conditional damage effects almost never convert.

[cursive sparrow]

I have a question abt devs perspective on melee in general. I think its a pretty common issue in all arpgs that melee's are in more danger than ranged. And in past years there were probably only 2 melee builds that were on par with ranged: swipe bear and vengeance pre-nerf(i dont count eq and warpath since they are super mobile). Both of those builds were on par with range due to having a lot of DR. Is there something that prevents devs from adding just base 15-25% passive damage reduction for all melee skills, to lessen the risks of being in melee range?

[bronze torrent]

Hi, perhaps it has been asked already but I found "monster <> stability gain" per time spent a bit inconsistent in the echos, for instance killing packs of small mobs that can be AOEd instanty provides with notable amount of stability whereas killing the big ones that also dodge attacks and have massive hp pools provide way less stability per time spent on them. Are there plans on addressing that ?
P.S. Love your work, great project! 🙂

[placid plinth]

We don't have an approved list of programs to run. There are many programs that can be used for totally fine things (like emulating a num lock) however, we don't really know if you're using it for that or for anything more....nefarious or not. Having said all that, I don't think we've ever taken any action against anyone for using AHK. Sorry I can't give you a solid yes or no. I do know that many people have used AHK for this task in the past (and probably still do).

As an aside, I do hope to eventually remove the need for things like this.

[placid plinth]

Overall, O'neill.
although vala has my favorite lines. In the episode where they are making a TV show and she is just pitching real shows over and over, she pitches Farscape (the show she and mitchell had just come over from) and the tv exec doesn't recognize it.
Teal'c is fantastic throughout but I think Sam is actually my runner up.

[rotund wharf]

Thanks for the information! I will level up for now without any AHK and will see later. Maybe if there is an app that really shows that im only emulating a num lock, that would be nice to have. Also, appreciate that you want to remove the need for things like this!

(I'll get out of your hair now - Just started a rewatch and had to ask 😅 )

I think melee is a ton of fun to play and I really enjoy it. I think that a broad 20%ish DR for all melee skills would be a very drastic and likely unnecessary change. You're welcome to leave #368968647114227723 on the matter though.

So Rare monsters always drop Rare items. Exalted monsters when?

i want an exalted monster walking around my echo with 10000% more hp

[placid plinth]

not specifically but you're welcome to leave some #368968647114227723 or a #suggestions-and-like-to-see if you'd like.

[placid plinth]

not that I know of (but I also don't know of any of the issues)

[frail sentinel]

It's one of the best! Followed by Tin Man or Urgo - I love a good bottle episode tbh

[placid plinth]

(as much as I love stargate, gotta keep this channel roughly on topic)

[placid plinth]

a finger on the monkey's paw curls inward and exalted monsters exist, they only spawn when an exalted item would drop and only drop that same item that would have dropped anyways

[spark jay]

I want to play with 3 other friends and we can't play together, while im solo in echo i don't have lags, but when all of us are in one echo we cant play, monsters dont die and we cant see any of us moving

[long fossil]

Hi Mike, is the team still working to improve controller support? It's the only way that I play but it can feel super clunky sometimes especially in UI menus

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, I can't help with any #support issues or #555817861529075713 here in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs

[cosmic palm]

Rare monsters always drop a rare item, do the random boss/elites monsters have a guaranteed drop pool as well (2 rares?)

[placid plinth]

yes

[spark hound]

So then is there a hidden exalted mod for monsters then making them stronger or they're the same as another rare?

[placid plinth]

sorry, no, that was a joke, the whole "a finger on the monkey's paw curls inward" is like saying a cursed wish granting, like an evil genie.

[placid plinth]

minibosses/bosses have increased drop quantity but I don't think all have guaranteed rare drops. Especially earlier in the campaign. Maybe something like 1 each

[severe vortex]

what does this exp bar after lvl100 do 👀

[spark hound]

Ok lol yeah understood. Had to clarify though 🥲 I wouldn't actually want exalted monsters just to drop an extra tier on an item. Would need to be more. Thanks for humoring me Mike.

[fickle perch]

Can a timeline boss drop a unique which is not related to him ?

[placid plinth]

looks cool

[severe vortex]

👀 does anything happen when it fills up?

[placid plinth]

yes, as long as it isn't also a boss specific drop from some other boss.

[placid plinth]

no

[opaque falcon]

Just wondering how stable the multiplayer is currently? Me and friend want to get the game but only as a duo co-op, wondering if we should hold off until a later date.

[teal trail]

Is there a patch coming today/this week for some of the other major bugs on skills?

[severe vortex]

is there any bias for mods on items to, for example, not perfect/lowest roll or is every single roll for every mod equally weighted?

[slow ivy]

I know it's not a priority, but the lack of an API for sharing builds kinda stinks right now.
When LE was offline, LETools.com was great for sharing builds, because you could import your character file, which was stored on your PC.
Currently, there's nothing. People need to make their builds from scratch in order to share them with someone else. Getting/giving feedback on someone's build is rough atm.
Bugs & Content should be prioritized, yeah, but I miss the ability to review builds for people. I hope that functionality is somewhere soon on the roadmap.

[south cedar]

It's in the works rn, Perry

[severe vortex]

why is sell value for arena keys 6k and 7k respectively and sell value for dungeon keys which are way better only 200?

[south cedar]

Dammitt is working with thr devs to make it accessible for players IIRC

[placid plinth]

nothing specific yet

[placid plinth]

experiences vary pretty heavily so far. I've been very lucky personally so it's hard to give you a personal account. Overall it's pretty tight but we do have some outlier situations that can cause a lot of issues still.

[placid plinth]

there is a hotfix that didn't quite make it in for friday that I'm hoping will be coming early this week but I don't have any real info on when

[placid plinth]

it's equal, we used to weight in some situations but people hated it so we took it out.

[placid plinth]

because arena is a less core experience and we know that some people just don't like it

[severe vortex]

asked cause out of like 20 idols that roll 1-3vit in my dump tab i had 1 3vit and 2 1vit

[placid plinth]

Can you cite a source for this? I haven't heard that.

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

[flint sable]

im asking if its known?

[hollow ether]

Hey Mike :) I have two questions:

• The damage reduction from armour formula in the game guide doesn't work well for negative amounts of armour. If I have -x armour, is the "increased damage taken" from armour equal to the damage reduction at x armour?
• About Anomaly, are bosses affected by the "Mark of Rot" debuff (increased void damage taken) if I take the "Immediacy" node (no time travel)? Thanks!

[opaque falcon]

Is desync and server lag considered a bug? Because it's getting unplayable at this point for a lot of us.

[scarlet flume]

Go on the forums and check if a thread on it is made

[severe vortex]

is there like a public compiled list of known bugs? so that i dont report something that already was reported 50 times

[scarlet flume]

go to the forums, type keywords for your bug, if nothing is there post it 🙂

[flint sable]

I can't my anti virus blocks it >.<

im working on getting it unblocked I submitted a ticket there last night

[limpid juniper]

hi everyone, If I buy the game now and start playing, will my progress stay in the final version? or will it be reset?

[fleet galleon]

[limpid juniper]

thanks

[night ingot]

How do I know if a skilltree's node applies to a subskill? For example, if I skill Umjol's Guidance in the Swipe tree to remove the Physical tag and add the Lightning tag, then Spirit Wolves from Wild Calling and Lupine Attunement still has the Physical tag and no Lightning tag. Does the base damage conversion that Umjol's Guidance also gives nonetheless apply to Spirit Wolves? Or does the tag change apply as well and it's merely not displayed because Spirit Wolves could (theoretically) also be cast by another source?

[placid plinth]

I'm not entirely sure off the top of my head but it should basically be that however much damage would be reduced by with positive armor is how much damage is increased with negative armor.

bosses are affected by anomaly the same as normal enemies so yes unless it specifies otherwise.

[manic jungle]

I understand if this has been asked before but 2 quick questions!

Why do crafting materials still go into inventory if they are unable to be gifted? Will that be a future system or is there opportunity in future for it to go straight into the material bag?

Will there be an alternative way to obtain passive points and idol slots for alts in future, the only thing really stopping me playing everything is the drag of having to go through campaign/side quests to get those important points/slots (I understand this is also a problem in PoE and it sucks there too)

[placid plinth]

conversions generally don't apply to subskills unless specifically stated. nodes don't apply to other sources of skills like if you had spirit wolves cast from other source, only that other source's effects would affect it.

in general, sub skills inherit all stats from the initial skill and any that could apply do so. This is the same as every other skill in the game. so for example, if you have 100% increased cold damage, lightning blast gets that stat. however it has no use for it so it doesn't do anything. Now if you had some effect that said "whenever you hit with lightning blast, you trigger a cold nova." that cold nova would get the cold damage increase because lightning blast technically has it and passes it along, even though it has no use for it itself.

[raven thunder]

[velvet frigate]

In the online version of the game, hammer throw doesn't interact with some obstacles such as monolith gates. is there any plans to bring this functionality to offline mode as well?

I have the item that makes it so my Wraith's on my Necro have a % chance to be fire wraiths. When I get into the game, I resummon until both are fire but... when I change areas, the wraiths dont stay what they were. Is this intentional?

[night ingot]

The Spirit Wolves subskill of Swipe has the minion tag. Does it nonetheless scale with my own damage increases and added damage or only with minion stats?

[astral reef]

only minion dmg

but if wolves uses swipe then your swipe tree works

can they use swipe?

[night ingot]

Does it only scale with generic minion damage or does it scale with damage increases or reductions to my wolves' damage?

[vivid fern]

Does anyone know how this synergy of shield bash work with Bastion of Honour shield? If mobs are in range they will get 150% more dmg or only the base block chance of the shield will apply?

[plucky heron]

Will we see any optimization in the near future targeting changing zones in multiplayer taking rather long (5-10sec) time?

[placid plinth]

wolves and spirit wolves are distinct and different, effects which specify one don't affect the other

[placid plinth]

bastion's block chance isn't block chance, it's block chance against enemies within 4 meters. This doesn't apply to shield bash.

[misty salmon]

how am I supposed to report a bug on the forum if I cant login with my steam to the website...

[placid plinth]

we are always working to improve performance of the game. no details on upcoming changes are available

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure but you can get help from #support if you're having an issue.

[night ingot]

Who is casting Spirit Wolves? Is it me? Do I benefit from on-hit effects? Is it the wolves? Is it no one? Who would need to have added chance to bleed on hit in order to give Spirit Wolves a bleed chance?

[hollow quail]

Regarding item drops and "weight". Have you ever considered alternative ways to pick up shards and such? I love the current system of clicking once and vacuuming nearby shards but when I play warpath, it really tests my mouse accuracy 😂 . Perhaps a proximity vacuum?

[placid plinth]

If they are coming from you (swipe) you, if they are coming from your wolves, your wolves. Spirit Wolves aren't actually minions, just scale with minion stats.

[wooden pasture]

Can you clarify the dungeon workaround? BF and I were able to enter the dungeon (thus burning the key) but were unable to move past that next room. Does the workaround apply to this?

[night ingot]

How can a Spirit Wolf come from me? Don't they always originate from each summoned wolf I control? Didn't you say Spirit Wolves doesn't scale with stats that my wolves have?

[placid plinth]

yes. I've seen messages about this every day for 3 years now. I have considered everything about them.

[hollow quail]

I think what hes trying to say is they function more like a spell coming from you than a minion you summoned. In this case, your own swipe has this additional "spell".

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure if there was another issue relating to this or not but that sounds related. I just read the patch notes on it right now.

[vivid fern]

If you have 100 bleed dmg over 3 seconds and 100% increase bleed duration, you will end with 100 bleed dmg over 6 seconds?

[placid plinth]

sorry, they used to be able to come from you. I forgot this got removed. They are always cast by the wolves and always use your wolves' stats, just like all other abilities used by minions.

[placid plinth]

increased duration of ailments maintains the same dps but extends the duration, thus increasing the total damage of the ailment

[wheat flame]

Are you guys aware and working on cross-region multiplayer issues? It’s nearly unplayable with the frequency of game breaking desync/rubberbanding. Nearly 2/3rd of echos with groups are at the point where at least one player cannot even participate in a meaningful way. Dungeons and arenas are almost guaranteed to be non-functional by the end for mostly everyone in the group. Issues range from just rubberbanding for one player to complete desync and stopped gameplay for all.

[astral reef]

they are aware and working on it

[long fossil]

Are graphical filter injectors like ReShade allowed in the ToS?

[wooden pasture]

Ty. I think we'll just avoid them till it's totally patched - plenty of other stuff to do!

[placid plinth]

please report all issues on the forums

!bug

[fiery lily]

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

[night ingot]

And they benefit from both the Summon Wolf tree and the Swipe tree, correct?

[placid plinth]

I'm not able to make a blanket statement on all graphical filter injectors, they are probably all fine but one might do something I don't know about or one could come along that does something new. I know ReShade is fine.

[vivid fern]

Did you guys fixed the increase damage for smite and vengeance idols? They use to give "more" instead of "increase"

[placid plinth]

no, it's a new ability. The wolf is casting fireball that looks like a wolf.

ok it's not actually fireball but just trying to illustrate the point

[night ingot]

So it's not a subskill?

[placid plinth]

did you see it in the patch notes in #news ? I don't actually know.

[placid plinth]

no. the wolf is using the ability, just like it using melee attack

any skill can be a subskill but this is not used that way in this situation, it's the wolf using it

[sly plume]

Read the patch news and saw the mention of rubber banding movement skills, once you fix the channeling skill to be hold down the button it will remove movement skill rubber banding (currently channeling skills keep channeling after you just press a button and not holding it down)

it does not rubber band if you actually hold down the button

[shell dawn]

So with the memory leak...what would help y'all to be able to track this one down?

I'm handy with a REISUB, so I don't mind intentionally crashing things.

[sinful sun]

Hi, loving the game - is there any plans on making multiplayer quicker in terms of load times and party experience (porting to party members etc.)?

[vivid fern]

i don't know I was just curios, it use the be a thing back then.

[buoyant roost]

Do you guys have any plans to have both genders for starting classes?

[placid plinth]

once it's fixed, fixed will mean not rubber banding and behaving as expected as it used to work in offline.

[night ingot]

How can I tell if I'm using a skill or a minion is using it? Does the minion tag give it away or the wording in the description. For example, Crowstorm doesn't have the Minion tag. Does that mean I'm using it? The description makes it sound like my Storm Crows are using it.

[keen juniper]

is there an official "bugs being worked on" list we can check before writing bug reports?

[placid plinth]

We don't plan to include any character customization at 1.0 launch. Adding multiple gender options and other character customizations is a hopeful future feature that we will look to include at some point down the line.

companion activated abilities are all used by the minions. Spirit Wolves is an exceptionally special case and I can't think of anything else that works this way.

[night ingot]

So despite not having the Minion tag, Crowstorm will benefit from increases to minion damage? (as well as other nodes on the Storm Crow tree that augment my storm crows)

[short orchid]

Is there going to be a fix for the bugged skill levels resetting back to 20 when in reality its 21+ points

Visual bug kinda makes it confusing

[long fossil]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/added-skills-from-items-not-working-properly/54903

[night ingot]

So if it's only Spirit Wolves that work that way, then Shatter Totem granted by Rejuvenating Splinters on the Upheaval tree is cast by me and not by the totem?

[valid matrix]

Mike, you said previously that you were trying a two-handed Bladedancer for this patch, how's that going for you? Was hoping I could do DS with it but don't think I can 😭

[placid plinth]

not a unique case, however, Shatter Totem on upheaval is a subskill of upheaval and is triggered by the skill which destroys the totem. This is either you or your totem if you have converted upheaval to be a totem itself.

[fleet heart]

[misty jay]

hey mike, i had a question regarding the passive bonus damage from paladin

so i knew this never shows up in the character sheet but this go around i wanted to see if atleast my tooltip would change and it didnt

even when taking damage (which should lower the damage bonus right?) it never changes the tooltip at all

could it be bugged or is this passive actually doing something?

[keen juniper]

Mirror rune eats up all remaining FP right?

[prisma galleon]

Is there anyway to relieve desyncing in endgame? Literally every pack I desync and just get stuck not knowing where mobs are or where my character is

[small plinth]

The 0.9 patch notes state that increased effect for shock and res shred ailments have been removed. However, the "Charged Allies" node in Static Orb still states that it grants shock effect. Does it do so any more? My un-scientific testing on the test dummy seems to indicate maybe not. If not, will it be getting tweaked?

[night ingot]

Can I get clarification on whether I'm understanding this correctly? Because other texts in the game refer to it as you using a companion ability, like Cry of the Lynx from the Beastmaster passive tree for example.

[small plinth]

Screenshot for context

[placid plinth]

it's working, this is a conditional effect and is applied at the time of casting so it can't show up in your stats or tooltips

[placid plinth]

yes, pretty sure it says that

[placid plinth]

we are working to improve the experience across the board, I can't help with any #support requests here

[misty jay]

cool, thanks mike

[placid plinth]

we missed 1 spot.
it does work as increased shock effect.
ironically, there is also a mistake in the code at this spot which doesn't actually affect gameplay at all.

[weak summit]

Is this node supposed to refresh haste duration, back to 4 seconds if you have the haste buff active when casting teleport?

[placid plinth]

yes

[weak summit]

alright so if im activating flame ward to proc haste and then my teleport isnt refreshing the haste duration its a bug and i should report it?

[placid plinth]

sometimes an implicit scales very well so we don't make a high level version. sometimes it's specifically made for unique items. sometimes we just don't think it is a primary archetype. other reasons too sometimes.

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "reveal" echo but as multiple people go through the monolith together, they should all receive generally similar rewards at each stage. if that's not happening, please submit a but report or add to one that is already reported

[muted topaz]

When you do the echo that reveals a portion of the hosts monolith, the group members don't get their own reward. In that situation the reward for the host is revealing more echos in their monolith to target their farm direction. If will make a bug ticket, if thats a bug and not intended

Got it, thanks 🙂

[rocky bison]

ok, Thank you

[severe vortex]

Why did you decide to class restrict certain item bases? Why not just let people use items from the other class?

[turbid plover]

Maybe it was asked before, but is there plans to add auto pick up for shards?

[placid plinth]

one of our core design pillars is class identity. we really want a primalist to look and feel like a primalist and have that be very distinct from a sentinel or mage. We also really want gear to match visually from 2D to 3D models as much as we can. Also, with having them split, we can put some mods on one that can't spawn on the other which lets us make really cool stuff for one that would break another wide open.

I'm sure there is more too but those are just the things off the top of my head.

[placid plinth]

today is actually a slow day for this question, this is only the 3rd time I've seen it today.

No plans at this time.

[severe vortex]

Ok got it its more of a theme thing than actual balance thing cause like most of class specific mods wouldnt even do anything on other class

[stark igloo]

Yep. But its kinda fun.

[placid plinth]

it's both, like I was saying

[placid plinth]

yup, in the channel #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs ......

[turbid plover]

Ok, but why so? That's even more interesting for me, I really want to know your position as dev to why not.

[placid plinth]

I've had to answer this so many hundreds of times at this point that I'm sorry you're gonna get the real short version.

They are items and we treat them as such. We have added a few features to help with their quicker picking up and organization through the vacuum and crafting inventory. Since doing that, they have started to feel less and less like items. It's in an odd half way point at the moment. We still want them to feel like items but have unfortunately added too many easy of use features to make them not feel like items any more.

[astral reef]

not everything needs to be autopicked

and its 99% autopick already

[desert leaf]

is it intentional that u can just shove bosses around? feels very weird

[placid plinth]

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.

[placid plinth]

no

[turbid plover]

Thanks for the answer, this version is totally fine by me to understand how and why

[warm zinc]

Is there any way in game to measure actual DPS other than tooltips in a way other than 'feeling'?

[placid plinth]

no

[buoyant trail]

How do channeled abilities that hit interact with 3-step buffs like Lethal Cadence? It looks like the damage bonus is applying the 3rd time I start channeling Flurry, but I can't tell if the entire channel gains the buff or just the initial hit.

[placid plinth]

it should work for the whole channel (78% confident)

[hoary lichen]

Has the high memory usage been addressed at all?

16gb of ram is not a lot these days, but having to restart the game periodically is getting a little annoying.

[placid plinth]

We are still collecting information on the issue. It's not consistent or universal so it's tricky to solve.

[timber zealot]

did we get any fix to choose server or better determination? haven't played since I tried a lot to reach SA server to no avail

[vivid fern]

Guys does the Vengeance tree nodes apply to Riposte as well?

[flint orchid]

@placid plinth is there any known issue atm about the loading screen not going away after being done with loading. Even if I mouse over where an npc should be my cursor changes to the talk bubble for an npc. It is like the game is there, but the loading screen itself is just layered ontop of it 😛

[placid plinth]

not yet

[placid plinth]

some, situational

[stoic heart]

Does the "+100% Melee Critical Strike Chance while in Dancing Strikes' Fighting Arena" stat on the Gladiator's Oath unique 1h sword work with any Fighting Arena (including those created by allies in a group) or only from ones you've made yourself? The current wording implies that it should have party synergy but that could just be a pre-multiplayer holdover from when it wasn't a consideration. Thoughts of a support rogue...

[placid plinth]

I don't know, you can check the forum to look.

!bug

[fiery lily]

Please post bug reports on our forum: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports. Thank you. :smile:

[vivid fern]

Does these apply to Riposte?

[placid plinth]

It gives your arena the ability to give you a crit buff while you are in it.

[placid plinth]

no idea, what are those nodes?

[vivid fern]

more damage

[placid plinth]

I'd be shocked if all 3 of those nodes just do more damage. Stats are passed on to Riposte like any other subskill.

[vivid fern]

Well all 3 give "more damage" to Vengeance. But they don't state that also apply to Riposte.

[hot copper]

how does projectile speed affect hammer throw spiral's hits/procs (more/less range, more/less hits, area, etc)? does it have a set time of existence regardless of proj speed? does it have a hit/proc per second limit? >< been trying to test but difficult to tell

[placid plinth]

conditional stats aren't passed to sub skills so "while under" and "vs damaged" don't work.

[fast spade]

I've a few Sentinel questions.

1. Is Harbinger of Dust (Volatile Reversal) a more damage multiplier? Is it like PoE, that increased damage taken is a more multiplier if there's no other "increased damage taken" debuff on the enemy?
2. Hammer throw Disintegrating Aura:
   a) Does Ballista node or Avatar of the Spire node affect Disintegrating aura?
   b) Is Disintegrating Aura affected by Throwing Damage % or Hammer Throw % damage mods?
   c) Is Disintegrating Aura affected by non-generic throwing damage e.g. cold throwing damage?

Thank you!

[placid plinth]

The time they exist is static so moving faster makes them travel a greater distance. It can hit the same target multiple times.

[earnest widget]

Are there plans to make monolith objectives a bit more easy to see? in bright maps it's really hard to tell where you're going with the map up.. even if there is a marker..

[hot copper]

#suggestions-and-like-to-see (i agree btw. esp when on the objective to make it a bit more clear)

[hot copper]

ah with static time, inc proj speed makes sense to increase aoe/range. the hammer can indeed pass through a target multiple time via the trajectory of the spiral going back to hit again but how does it interact when the monster has a very large hitbox (eg Lagon) when the hammer can exist inside the body for an extended period of time (how many times can a projectile "hit/proc" in that instance)?

[placid plinth]

1. all "increases" are "mores" if they are the only one. So yes.

a) need the nodes
b) it's a spell so no, yes (if it doesn't say throwing damage but just says damage).
c) no, it's a void spell and is affected by the things that affect void spells.

[minor flame]

Hiya, loving the game so far! I especially love the world of Eterra and the highly detailed in-game map for the different ages, and that's actually what my question is about: do you know where I could find high-quality images of the maps? Would love to use them for a home game of D&D. The images i found online aren't that great quality, and I'd love to be able to blow up so all those little details can be seen

[keen juniper]

should this be bug reported?

[hybrid nacelle]

Yes.

[placid plinth]

the answer to that question is always yes, please don't check here first

!bug

[fiery lily]

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

[placid plinth]

each map is actually 4 images because they were just too big. I don't have a place you can get them yet but I think it would be worth putting them up at some point. so I'll say soon(tm)

[minor flame]

Awesome! Looking forward to it 🙂

[placid plinth]

it should need to leave to be able to hit again

[fast spade]

1. How does that stack with Damage over time debuff for dot, e.g. Time Rifts?(Volatile Reversal) Additive or multiplicative?
   2a) I'm sorry, what do you mean here?
   2b) Wait, so generic flat throwing damage works but no other throwing bonus? I'm not sure I follow. Void Cleave Voidfused projectiles work, correct?
   2c) If it's a spell, does it scale with generic spell damage?

[hot copper]

thank you. seems like increased projectile speed + attack speed is the way to go then!

[placid plinth]

General request to stop pinging me as per #rules number 8

[fast spade]

My apologies.

[placid plinth]

can you post a screenshot of all the nodes you referenced? I just don't know what each one does by name.

[fickle perch]

+10 is based on the distance to the center, and +16 is based on Gazes, what is the +28 bonus corruption based on ?

[hot copper]

i believe that is from your other monolith's highest corruption pushed so far as a catchup mechanic

[placid plinth]

ty, yup, that's it

I was blanking

[fast spade]

There you go

[fickle perch]

Oh, I see why I haven't noticed it before, I've been farming only one monolith until now 😉 .
Thanks !

[hoary lichen]

Thank you Mike.

I got one more: The new 3 set bonus on forgotten knight - is there a typo and the increase is a more modifier, or was it stealthnerfed?

It currently just says 2% void damage per stack of time rot

[surreal briar]

You really should make this a command the same as !bug 😂

[dawn hull]

Hello, are we getting an option for controller to not target enemies and random objects with movement skills some time in the future?

[placid plinth]

Voidfused projectiles gives +20 Void Throwing Damage - Disintegrating Aura is a spell, it does not get any damage from throwing.

Riverbend Grasp gives +10 Cold Throwing Damage - Disintegrating Aura is a spell, it does not get any damage from throwing.

Time Rifts and Harbinger of Dust both say increased so they are additive with each other.

Ballista gives +3% more damage - this applies to all damage so it does work with disintegrating aura.

[placid plinth]

don't know, you can leave a #suggestions-and-like-to-see if you'd like though

[fast spade]

Hammer Throw Disintegrating aura alt text says it scales with "throwing attack damage" - is that not a contradiction? Or does only generic Throwing Damage mod works?
Also, does Spell damage work?

[dawn hull]

Okay, also: do blessings that affect item type drop rate affect rates for unique (random drop and boss drop)?

[placid plinth]

hunh, ok it has changed, I just looked it up and it was changed extremely recently. like, really recently. it scales with increases to throwing damage but not flat added as it is a dot

[placid plinth]

random yes, boss don't think

[dawn hull]

Thanks!

[fast spade]

So, to confirm, for disintegrating aura.

1. +(22 to 26) Throwing Damage
   -5 Throwing Mana Cost - this does not work
2. +(84 to 104) Spell Damage - this does not work.
3. (307% to 384%) increased Spell Damage - this works.
4. Void Cleave Voidfused projectile - screenshot - does not work.
5. (81% to 100%) increased Throwing Damage - This works.
6. (129% to 158%) Increased Damage with Hammer Throw - This does not work.
7. Strength % & Dexterity Scaling - works.

[hot copper]

the flat spell damage may not work because it's a damage over time

[fast spade]

So there's no way to scale the base dot damage?

[hot copper]

not at the moment afaik unless new unique in the future :P usually things that can scale base dmg efficiently is very very strong

[fast spade]

The "throwing attack damage" threw me on a loop.

[hot copper]

ye i get ya. to be fair it does say "increases" to throwing attack damage, so semantically not added/flat

[fast spade]

I guess that just leaves
7) Strength % & Dexterity Scaling - works?

[plucky crane]

How does dex interact with poison dmg? I lose dmg when I remove it (I think), very confused on that as well.

[stiff solstice]

attribute scaling is usally %increased, so as long as it has the tag, it should work

[fast spade]

The skill itself has it, but I do not know if the subskill does

because disint aura does not show up on alt text

unlike most subskills for some odd reason.(sent that as a suggestion earlier)

Would just test most of it myself were it available :p

[meager cedar]

you guys might want to take this conversation elsewhere

[fast spade]

Apologies, just wanted to finish my convo with Mike here.

but the other fellows were being helpful ^_^

[placid plinth]

sorry, I confused everything. increased throwing damage works. increased void damage works. all generic damage increases work. attributes "work" but only because they are converted into generic damage increases by hammer throw itself

[fast spade]

Oh thank lawd.

So that just leaves confirming

2. +(84 to 104) Spell Damage - this does not work.
3. (307% to 384%) increased Spell Damage - this works.

correct?

[placid plinth]

correct, despite what I said earlier, it isn't a spell

(it used to be though)

[fast spade]

I love it when I'm pioneering with my build into uncharted territory xD

haha

thanks Mike

all clear now!

[short salmon]

Similar question with Judgment, does both flat and increased spell damage work with the spell part?

[wooden bridge]

Have you guys ever thought about doing a socket-like system or currently have something like that in the works? Or are you content with the current status of crafting. And I guess I could follow that up also with, any changes you guys still wanna make to the crafting system?

[hoary lichen]

Sadly my question went unanswered. Maybe there's a specific member of EHG that would be able to clarify the forgotten knight set bonus?

[placid plinth]

just got missed, what was the question

[placid plinth]

yes, however our current crafting system is essentially 4 sockets and affix shards so it has to be something more unique than a "normal D2 style" gem socketing system

[placid plinth]

no, only increased/more

[hoary lichen]

The 3 piece no longer says more or increased, it just says "2% void damage per stack of time rot". Additionally, since it doesn't put a buff on you, change your dps or doesnt debuff the enemies, I guess I'd like to ask how it works exactly, does it recalculate hit damage on every individual monster depending on time rot stacks?

[placid plinth]

is that the forgotten knight set?

[hoary lichen]

Yep.

I'm pretty sure it used to say more in February, websites still say more, but the more bit is gone from the game.

[wooden bridge]

True that, with all that youve already given us, if you decide to do it, im sure you could do something different enough to make it feel unique and fresh.

[slow ivy]

Mike, do you keep track of the questions you've received that have been outstanding? Either outstandingly good, or...otherwise?

[placid plinth]

conditional effects are always more, this should say it but that's just a display bug in the auto generation of the stat. conditional stats don't display in tooltip dps.

[hoary lichen]

So if a mob has 12 stacks Ill deal 24% more void damage to it, and if another mob nearby has 6 stacks, I'll deal 12% more to it, is that how it works?

[placid plinth]

nope, every question immediately leaves my brain, that's why I tell people to go to #368968647114227723 or #suggestions-and-like-to-see when they post some disguised as a "question".

[placid plinth]

yes

[hoary lichen]

Perfect, thanks a lot Mike. More devs should be doing what you're doing here right in this channel. Big respect.

I mean other game developers, not other EHG staff 😛

[radiant sundial]

Bo's Anarchy has the effects: x% chance to throw Shurikens on Block and x% chance for Shurikens to ricochet 3 additional times; do these effects apply with the Chakrams node in-use?

*Edit: And for the Block effect, would it throw Shurikens out, or a Chakram?

Thanks in advance.

[placid plinth]

yes, chakram

Is soulfire bastion T4 bugged? i'm dying to the firelich to an ability called collapsing decay. each time i face him i see no projectile/indicator/telegraphing. It deals necrotic damage but i have to sit in the fire shield because the floor is entirely covered in fire when it happens

[hardy elk]

alright will report it on the forum thanks

[placid plinth]

[hardy elk]

yeah the floor was filled up with fire but it was the necrotic damage that killed me

[placid plinth]

i understand

[hardy elk]

is there supposed to be a spell effect for collapsing decay?

[placid plinth]

all skills should have a vfx associated with them

[hardy elk]

alright that must be a visual bug then, since i was playing with my brother and neither of could figure out what was hitting us

[placid plinth]

it attacks roughly 3/s attack speed applies as a multiplier to the speed it attacks. dual wielding weapons apply the average as your attack speed from weapons.

Why is there actually a "transfer crafting items" button, couldn't they just go directly to the crafting panel instead of cluttering the inventory?

Is that for the sake of trading/gifting?

"arcane momentum" (sorcerer) says that it refreshes the duration of all existing stacks, but appears to be ... not doing that. I can reach 3 stacks and then it flickers up to 4 just as the oldest stack expires, am I missing something about that passive? it might just be broken

[quasi quiver]

Does AOD count as a hit? I'd think no, but it seems to proc plague bringers staff's plague chance on hit

[unkempt lagoon]

Any way to tell what skill count as healing you when on full health? Some things like Conc Ground and the heal from Battle Standard count as you being healed while on full health, while other things like Smite heal or Javalin trail don't count as you being healed when on full health.

[brisk jackal]

Hi mike.
Suppose I apply armor shred to enemy to make it take 50% more physical damage, and 4 stacks of doom to make it take 16% more melee damage.
So in the end it will take 66% (1+0.5+0.16) more damage, right? (instead of 1.5*1.16)

[random sundial]

Hey guys, are we going to get more skills to classes we currently in the future? some of them seems to lack some diversity like bladedancer

[placid plinth]

poison can't do hit damage. ever. technically poison bolt does hit but it just applies poison and makes a poison cloud

[quasi quiver]

But the point is procing plague bearers plague chance on hit, which it sounds like poison bolt would/does

[crude plover]

I think i remember a dev saying that the faction system (the trade/magic find factions) was going to be in about 2 patch cycles and was wondering about how long a patch cycle is for you guys? Or if there's a super rough estimate on it.

[placid plinth]

armor shred doesn't increase physical damage taken, it increases physical hit damage taken.

more damage is also multiplicative with each other so it would actually be damage * (1 + 0.5) * (1 + 0.16)

[placid plinth]

they should all count the same as far as Iknow

[placid plinth]

yes

[unkempt lagoon]

They don't. Will report it.

[placid plinth]

we are returning to our normal cadence for patches from the 0.8.x era.

if someone said the eta of item factions, they shouldn't have done that. they don't know what that time is because it doesn't exist yet because we haven't even started working on it yet

[brisk jackal]

I'd like to confirm something further, thanks again!
As far as I know doom is causing the enemy to increased melee damage TAKEN (mean not a more bonus) , and this value is added up with effects that have the same description, such as the Harbinger of Dust node of the Volatile Reversal from sentinel (30% taken). So in terms of calculations, these TAKEN bonuses are not considered as MORE, but are similar to INC% like cumulative?
If the above is correct, now my question is whether armor shred is also a taken bonus, because I saw the similar description in the game guide.

[eager thorn]

is the crit chance on the skull +5% base?

[placid plinth]

Increases are generally additive with each other, I think that those two would be added together. I'm not sure if armor is done at a different step in the damage calculations or not though.

[placid plinth]

It's flat added to a stat which has a % value. So if you have that equipped and no other stats from anywhere, you would have 10% Crit chance.

[dire silo]

im brand noob, how thicc is the multiplayer and will there be thicc ass bosses meant for max sized party?

[eager thorn]

Oh alright awesome thanks, was confused as to why the skull increased my spell crit chance more than the rock thing

[drowsy spear]

Hey Mike have you all played with making some progress account wide. Like gathering passives and charm slots and unlocking empowered monoliths? I'm leveling my first alt and think it would be great to be able to jump straight in the action when creating alts.

[placid plinth]

Yes. Please don't take this to mean we are going to but rather just that we have discussed it....a lot.

[drowsy spear]

I think it would be a great move.

[placid plinth]

I think I may have been unclear. We have discussed it a lot and still haven't done it.

[rich hound]

I've had a lot of fights end because of server lag and ground indicators failing to show up. Are there any plans in the works to get server stability to be better, and if so, is there a timeline for that to happen?

[placid plinth]

We have been and will continue to improve server stability.

[stray night]

On ajr’s point, perhaps this: set up monolith quest lines to award the skill points/idol slots the first time through them along with the blessings. That way you’ve done them all, you’re a bit more knowledgeable about the monoliths by the time you’re really engaging them, and it doesn’t make non-empowered feel kind of pointless.

[hot copper]

#suggestions-and-like-to-see

[white scaffold]

Is there a reason that enemies like void centapede, imperial watchers and spires arent counted as "unique enemies" later very tanky but none boss enemies (like covenants) get the unique tag and boss bar and count for skill nodes that say rare/unique enemies

it can make some normal enemies in monoliths significantly tankier then some of the timeline bosses are

[stray night]

More pertinent to the purpose of the channel then, honest question. From a design standpoint what is the purpose of having to pick up shards? Is it to thin out the potential mountains we’d auto pickup? Is there a specific study that shows the good chemicals happen in our brains or something? I see it universally asked for across games that have these sorts of things.

Personally it doesn’t give me the same reaction as when I pick up a purple or a unique, or even sometimes a yellow. So I’m curious what’s behind that decision

[languid mason]

Exsanginous is missing the blood shield VFX, was this an intended change? Is there a move away from item VFX?

[opaque falcon]

wondering about hits that apply ailments/curses with things that benefit from those curses being applied. If more damage on ignited enemies, will the hit that applies ignite benefit? If hits apply curse e.g. bone curse, will it benefit from the "when hit" aspect of bone curse?

[hoary lichen]

That's a good question. I find myself picking them up like scrolls in other games - just because "I might need them/run out of them"

[mortal forum]

There is like 0 reason to not pick up shards and glyphs

[pine chasm]

Status effect changes (adding/consuming) happen after the hit resolves. Unless there's some weird edge case

[placid plinth]

Unique enemies are usually reserved for more named enemies

[placid plinth]

No

Thanks glad to hear... Such a cool effect. Looking forward to its return.

[placid plinth]

Search my posts for "short version" and you can see a reply about it.

[modern bluff]

I actually have a question about runes of ascendency. Do i need a specific Base for rolling uniques. IE can i get any unique glove with any item in the recipie ?

[opaque falcon]

thanks. so "when hit" is checked simultaneous with the hit, not after (i.e. no bone curse damage when BC applied on hit)?

[placid plinth]

Any gloves can make any non-boss only unique gloves

[craggy kiln]

Will there be something to do with 0 FP items? Or it's something that strictly symbolizes that the item is "done"?

[stray night]

I appreciate the response, and get that answer. I don't disagree that they don't "Feel like items" though when I see rarer ones it's neater than less rare ones. I suppose maybe it feels that way because we burn through so many through crafting. I might use 5-10 shards per craft and wind up shattering the result and then burning another 5-10, so individually they feel less itemy because you need many of them before you feel any real impact? I'm sure I'm not saying anything you haven't already thought of. But an item feels itemy because it is potentially a huge impact. Shards are just a shot at making a thing a few % better.

[placid plinth]

We have no specific plans

Not a question, but felt it was best here - just upgraded my system, to include a new bluetooth adapter - and suddenly the game sounds sooooo much better. Not sure if I was just missing depth or layering or what, but good gods did you guys do it right. Well done, EHG.

[stiff solstice]

pinging devs is against rule #8, btw

[desert sand]

Also not the right spot for bug-reports. They ask that the Forums get those.

Awe didn’t know

[ripe oar]

I reported it on the forum anyways so I removed my messages

[reef rock]

Why is selfcasting shadow cascade feel so awful and slow?

[visual oriole]

hi dev, when moving to new map, minion loses its dread shade and infernal shade, is it bug or feature?

Any chance we will see affix shards going to the crafting storage automagically someday?

[quartz current]

does "your allies" include forge weapons?

forged weapons

I cast Rip Blood with 200% chance of splatter (no ailments): target and surrounding dummies both receive two values of damage. I assume the non-targeted dummies get hit by splatter, but why is the target of rip blood receiving two values? Does the second instance of splatter hit the original target?

I apply bone curse (infinite duration). Now when I cast Rip Blood, dummies generally receive four values, but sometimes three. I assume it's the splatter, curse, splatter, curse being represented, but then why do I only see three occasionally? Not sure if this is a bug, so posted here first to make sure I'm understanding mechanics.

[placid plinth]

I need a bot command for this one. Search my posts for "short version"

[placid plinth]

Yes

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, I have no idea. Inconsistent behavior is rarely any good.

[steady mountain]

Is something like "targeting allies from their portrait for spells like eterra's blessing" feasible or planned?

[light matrix]

So, two questions. Do DPS numbers seen on a skill factor that skill's cooldown into their calculation?

Two, does this node work if my minions kill the target to give me the buff?

Also, what is the damage of this node based on?

[tall fulcrum]

why can i use mobility spells in offline but in multiplayer they are blockt in safe zones

[light matrix]

And does changing zones also work to reset their stat calculations?

[patent owl]

does apocalypse whirl node in warpath also convert this damage to void?

[placid plinth]

Not at the moment.

[placid plinth]

Yes and no, you are you. You are not your minions.

[placid plinth]

Towns are no spell zones

[crisp carbon]

Any ETA on a fix for the stash tab merge/delete bug? I lost 3-4 tabs worth of gear & it's killed my desire to play LE. 😦

[placid plinth]

The damage of the spell explosion

[placid plinth]

That's a bug

[light matrix]

Wait, so their health resetting is a bug?

[placid plinth]

If it says and all added damage

[placid plinth]

No and you should be able to make new categories to have them come back

[light matrix]

So the damage of Bone Curse itself then?

[tall fulcrum]

but i can use it in offline

[light matrix]

I'm not sure I understand. Are you saying if my minions get the kill on the cursed target THEY get a chance to get Bone Armor? Or that unless I killed the cursed target personally the node has no effect?

[crisp carbon]

R.I.P then. Sadly, creating new categories hasn't worked for me, so far. I've created 20 or so new ones & only 1 tab has returned. 😦

[placid plinth]

There is a spell called explosion. The damage of the explosion is the spell explosion.

[placid plinth]

The node says when you kill an enemy so it only triggers when you kill an enemy

[light matrix]

Alright, so not useful for a pet build as I don't build spell damage, and I'm not killing things respectively.

If minion's having their HP and stats set to as if you just cast then when you zone transition is a bug, may I suggest that said bug just be considered a feature? Because having my minions get healed/stats upgraded to match my new gear/passives on zone transition is honestly really nice. Means I really don't have to recast my permanent army unless they actually die. A very nice QoL feature.

[thorny plinth]

Can julra items drop with more than 1 lp?

[indigo stump]

Hey guys, any idea if Infernal Shade actually creates a new instance of the skill when it jumps between targets or keeps the initial one?

As in, does it refresh the duration and does it keep initial snapshotted damage?

And is damage snapshotting when applying skill intentional?

[coral sable]

I've got a question about Forge guard's Forged weapons, are they supposed to be designed as minions? i find it very frustrating that when it comes to bosses my DPS get's wiped out since i'm so invested in these forge weapons and it's awkward to scale minion stats on forge guard when they should just be scaling off my weapon

[plucky crane]

Is there a way to export online character data? API endpoint or so?

[brittle oxide]

is fixing vendors not refreshing stock after doing echo planned in some close hotfix? it can be extremly annoying at times, when you need to shatter something important :/
it was fixed and broke again with 0.9 😦 while it may sound as small gripe, on extended game sessions it gets really annoying, as is forcing you to go and teleport back and force 10 - 15 times in world to refresh vendors...

[coral sable]

in the mean time you can travel to different towns as each vendor has their own inventory so 1-4 shatter runes each

[brittle oxide]

I know, thats what I wrote, and when you farm mono for some 2-3-4 hours thats getting annoying quite a lot 😄

[zinc jolt]

don't converse more here...plenty of other chats for that

[brittle oxide]

also sometimes u get as cherry on top - town vendors selling only 1-2 for like 15 teleports in a row 😄

[fickle perch]

I remember Mike saying it was intended that it didn't refresh shattering runes from the shop everytime.
here :
#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message
Though we currently have a more extreme behavior with no refresh at all.

[brittle oxide]

another question, if I understand correctly, party members (not leader) are getting a random map reward (golden stone with loot), but from what pool of rewards is random choosen?

what I mean by that, if party is farming empowered monolith that has for example unique\set gloves nodes, will party members sometimes get it as "random rewards"? or it just completely random?

[fickle perch]

#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

This should answer your question

[compact helm]

How this works if all my hp protected by endurance threshold? 910 hp and 910 endurance threshold, for example. If enemy hit me, this procs immediately?

[fickle perch]

I would say it work as long as your endurance treshold is strictly equal to your hp but wouldn't the moment your threshold is higher (which is technically possible since endurance threshold is not capped). However to be safe I would recommend to make sure you have slightly less endurance than total hp, you probably can roll down an implicit or a suffix with a rune of refinement/of shaping to do so.

[short salmon]

That would be incredibly hard to get that high of endurance threshold though. Max of 6 possible slots, multiplied by the max roll of t7 and you get only 1110 threshold increase. And you aren't getting 6 max roll tier 7 endurance threshold items.

[feral surge]

their effective levels for lp are 65-75, so getting a 2 lp is reasonably possible, but you will need to farm for it for a while.

[fickle perch]

you have 20% of max health as base endurance threshold, making it doable.

[blazing thunder]

Hi there, any clue if the devs are planning to increase the immune duration after a map loading time? Many HC chars dead at spawn after a loading map or when going back with a town portal 🥲

[brittle oxide]

dual wielding two will result in 2x ward gained from full mana?

[copper dove]

No class can equip Scepters in their offhand at the moment

[uneven token]

I have a question about Unique drop rates.

If I am looking for lets say a Primalist focused Unique, do I have a higher chance of it dropping if i am a Primalist or is the chance the same if I play another class?

[fossil dune]

Unique are exempt from the class weighting

[uneven token]

Cool, thanks!

[grizzled tapir]

Snowdrift has a note "Does not include freeze rate multiplier granted by individual skill trees"

Does that mean only like + freeze rate per something?
I wonder if freeze rate multiplier after using teleport work or not

[raw loom]

Hello, was wondering if there were any plans to adjust/add to mob density? For instance larger mob packs, full screen mayhem?
