[crude plover]

@full dagger as an example this node would say something like "spirit plague applies enemies it's applied to with poison" if spirit plague was the source. The way it's worded implies that your character is kinda just applying a generic poison alongside spirit plague

It's very weird

Same thing goes for the bleed node

[full dagger]

Yup i understand that, i was hoping to get more info like if this is just a relic of its implementation or if it wiil/can be changed, most (if not all) skills that have multipliers will apply the multipliers to the ailment, so its very confusing

[hexed bluff]

Not a question (sorry if this breaks the rules) but I just wanted to comment that as a person who can't mouse/keyboard all day and night without my hands starting to hurt, the controller support in this game is really well done. I really appreciate the fact that I can use a controller for the main gameplay loop, but then switch seamlessly over to a mouse for inventory management and to spend skillpoints, which is less convenient on a gamepad. Other games frequently don't get this right, I'm so glad you guys did.

[placid plinth]

The only way we really have to remove this confusion point is to just remove the effect all together and it's a category of effects that we like so probably not.

[waxen fox]

Is that including the bugfixes or is that a seperate post?

[placid plinth]

It's everything

[tidal obsidian]

wow all hype week posts were very impressive. congratulations! loved all the qol and crafiting additions, but i do have a question: do you, as a studio, fear making the game way too easy? Especially in regards of deterministic systems that offer low to none risk to the player such as eternity cache chosen affix or attribute affix swaping

[cursive sparrow]

Mike how excited are u for tomorrow on the scale from 100 to 9999999. Hard to believe its already been 9 months

[placid plinth]

It's a consideration. We are certainly raising the floor of a lot of builds. I don't think the ceiling is actually going up too much really. I think we're just going to see people having more fun with more varied and interesting systems to interact with; all while continuing to make progress on their power curve for longer.

[placid plinth]

I keep telling myself that the patch day coming up is just another day but it's also the 7 year anniversary of kickstarter launching so that's pretty cool.

[tidal obsidian]

for sure, i can see why you made it that way and am looking forward to play it. also it does not favor any specific build, so won t cause any imbalance (i think). thanks for the answer

[stark sonnet]

I'm wondering, is it a design choice by you(I mean devs) to not make leagues with league-specific content? Or is this a result of you not yet being quite happy with the base game, so you want first to make the baseline meet your standards, and only later start making (possibly) non-permanent content?

[cursive basin]

do yall test your games online or offline? shield rush spam is fine in offline mode, but bugs out/freezes in online mode. when you told me that you checked it with the season 2 build, and it was no longer bugged...was that offline mode?

[orchid cave]

Is there any plans to buff totems or shaman moving forward? I really enjoy thorn totem druid but it really struggles in the later corruptions.

[jaunty dune]

They've spoken about this, it's the latter (which i think would be considered a design decision still)

[valid marlin]

That's an insanely short amount of time, honestly. Things have changed so much in so short a time

[placid plinth]

We heavily test both for everything.

[placid plinth]

Patch notes tomorrow

[placid plinth]

It's a design decision for this specific session. We will reassess it for next session and the one after that and so on

[zenith ginkgo]

Who can I dm about someone in this discord who’s a fake trying to sell “channel audits for content creators?” Is that mod mail?

[pine dome]

@jaunty pier

[meager mountain]

is the new key storage page in your inventory per character or shared between all who shares stash? and what is the cap is on how many of each type of key that can be stored in it?

[pine dome]

Also pretty sure its shared among characters that share the same stashes

[zenith ginkgo]

Thank you

[pseudo steppe]

1. any eta on when the design your own Unique Creator pack will be back?

2. when working with the community for an ingame item with tangible effects (such as the design your own Unique for Last Epoch), what have you guys witnessed (from friends in the industry, heard of via second hand, or your own experience) to be the average time it takes to complete such a request from conception to delivery?

[fluid axle]

Hi Mike, where will you be for the book signing tomorrow? I'd love an autographed patch notes

[jaunty dune]

So there is a very similar UI for the patch notes in the past but based on the Twitter post saying 100 pages of patch notes uhhh I'm gonna have a busy day tomorrow I guess 😂

[shut solar]

im not sure if its been answered and considering its a new feature im not sure if it will work like i want it to hahah. BUT would we in theory, craft a wand with the new set bonus then slam that epic wand into a unique wand and have the unique item inherit the set item bonus if the afix successfully transfered?

[desert sleet]

Reforged set items can't be combined with uniques in the Eternity Cache, because sets are themselves a type of unique and reforging one effectively creates a craftable unique.

[shut solar]

okay. i see the reasoning why. woulda been epic being able to slam triboelectra with Vilatria

[pine chasm]

Set affixes must also go on the same item type, so because Vilatria's Downfall is a staff its shard can only be crafted on a staff

[plucky cape]

I've been informed woven echoes go from fairly common to rare based on corruption/progress, was there a screenshot yet which ones we encounter more commonly vs more rare ones? for my own brain to grasp 😄 reason im asking is if it makes sense to start planning on set shatter imprints in my builds and such yet 😄

[shut solar]

Yeah i was think about that as well. Was a "what if" kinda question as it was asking 2 questions in 1

[vague sphinx]

If you look at the grid of all of them together, they are broken into 4 sections, it progresses left to right

no, still working through the ones that have already been purchased

it's usually about a month but 90% of that time is usually just waiting

[placid plinth]

[plucky cape]

thank you!

[opaque falcon]

Man your honestly goated props for sure

[placid plinth]

it is technically a part of your stash and works exactly the same as your crafting materials storage.

[thorny iron]

Has stash tab latency been improved in Season 2?

[placid plinth]

dramatically

[thorny iron]

Awesome!! Having a few hundred milliseconds of delay when switching between stash tabs was the #1 thing that pushed me to play offline.
This means I can go back to playing online and enjoying the MTX I’ve bought! Thanks!

[plucky cape]

On a lighter note, what do you have planned for your days off? holiday? spa day? xD

[placid plinth]

I just had a couple weeks at the end of jan/start of feb so I'm all fueled up still. I know a few people probably have some time off planned for a couple weeks from now though.

[jaunty dune]

Bow or throwing? Or some secret 3rd option?

[placid plinth]

There is no secret 3rd option and I really like the active use case for it so I'm going Bow. I did see a sweet build someone was doing with it in throwing mode that I might try out though.

[ashen summit]

will we ever be able to use bows on non rogue characters or will bows stay stuck on rogue? its obviously something that is trivial but was just wondering why its the only weapon type locked to a class

[fluid axle]

secret 3rd option is dragonsong and scaling spell damage 💀

[placid plinth]

Sorry, do you mean that it's obviously something that is not trivial?

When we first started adding bow skills to the game, we didn't have anywhere near enough time to fit any more bow skills on other classes and also work in enough support in their passive trees without crowding out other themes or stepping on Marksman's main main theme too much.

I think it is very likely that we will branch out Bow skills onto other classes at some point but it will take a while still. We just haven't had a great opportunity to add it in. My money is on Primalist or Sentinel to get it next.

[placid plinth]

got em

or got me I guess?

[ashen summit]

I meant trivial from the players perspective in terms of impact on build diversity, i know when it comes to coding for games this type of thing can range from annoying to pure hell. was just something i was curious about, hope it didnt come off as "WhY gAmE dEV DoNt do EASy thing"

[placid plinth]

I didn't think that was what you meant but I was wrong with my assumption, either way, all good.

and yea, it would be great to have.

this is one of those sneaky brutal things

[stoic cradle]

Hello sir, is there any steam sale before the big launch?

[placid plinth]

Not that I know of but just to put my answer in context, I found out about the last sale because someone asked me how long it was going to last in here.

[jaunty dune]

you mean you don't have LE on your steam wishlist? 😂

[stoic cradle]

Thank you so much for the answer, one more question is there any trade system or market that i can trade between people right now or in the upcoming patch? Sorry i just new to this game

[ashen summit]

merchants guild. its at the endish of campaign

[placid plinth]

One of the big systems in the game is called Item Factions. When you get near the end of the campaign, you'll have to pick between Merchant's Guild or Circle of Fortune.

Merchant's Guild will give you access to The Bazaar. It's essentially just an auction house that you can buy and sell items at. It has some restrictions on what can be bought and sold and you'll have to earn the ability to trade the highest tier items.

Check out the devlog on it from last year when we introduced it. It has had a few updates since then.
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/trade-item-factions/61722

You can also find some good tutorials from Last Epoch content creators on how to use it efficiently if you want.

[stoic cradle]

Thank you so much this helps a lot. 🙏

[austere sparrow]

Couple of quick questions for the next season if i may .

1. With Champion Affixes coming and being always sealed , it feels like we gonna need a way to filter for them . Currently we cannot filter Sealed affixes , would that be possible next season ? If not at the very least are the Champion Affixes on our filters rules ?
2. The only way for someone to run a wooven echo is to slot it in after they clear a cemetery ? Or are there gonna be open slots for wooven echoes on our timelines by default ?

[mellow canyon]

does the new supporter packs have regional pricing?

[placid plinth]

yup

[desert sleet]

1. champion affixes can be filtered with an affix condition (they are in the personal category)
2. yes, you need to use an altar to place them, but you can target cemeteries to access it more frequently

[austere sparrow]

Fantastic , tyvm 🙂

[shut solar]

will you be able to seal an affix on a crafted set item?

[mellow canyon]

Thanks Mike! just want to say love your friday streams!

[desert sleet]

yes, they remain fully craftable, all runes/glyphs/shards can still be used after adding a set affix

[shut solar]

oh man. the possibilities

[still gyro]

Does last epoch have ultra wide monitor support?

[placid plinth]

Yes*
We don't have specific features for ultra wide monitors to make it even better so you do get side panel UI opening up really far from the center of the screen but it does play well on ultra wide monitors and you don't get black bars or stretching.

[still gyro]

Cool, thanks

[spiral summit]

Mike, is there any plan to streamline trade so that I can trade everything from just 1 merchant? This is the one thing stopping me from MG tbh.

[nimble hemlock]

I still think the focusing about 3k HP is a bad decision and we should get more defensive options.

And the One shot mechanic is still really annoying.

I don’t found so many one shot mechanics in dark souls or elden ring and the same play time.

Just one second.. and everything wasted.

A better defensive system would be cool. Like a energy shield with a very short unkillable time between life and energy shield.

The system like in warframe.

One point: Idol system is just a HP Pool placement

Outside from mage, why I should stack anything else as HP as a Shadow dagger player?

Maybe it’s wrong here, but I really love Last epoch and I think it is worth to think about this for the next season. ❤️

Hey Guys! Now that we have the Weaver Tree, you could do a collab with Fever Tree Tonic for some nice drinks. If you ever put Weaver Tree Tonic in the market, I'll buy some 😁 🍸

[astral reef]

you talked something about quests for dungeons in campaign, does that mean dungeons are balanced around that first time you do those in campaign?

[frail sentinel]

It means less backtracking to do other Side Quests that offered Passive Points and Idol slots 🙂

[astral reef]

so no balance changes? 20/45/50 lvl dungeons. i guess those are fine more i think of it 😄
Edit: Tho i never havent done other than lightless arbor while leveling campaign. rest comes too late to use skip

maybe im just bad player and cant do those early

Hi everyone, is it still possible to get the travelers backpack? I play last epoch standalone since 2019, then switched to steam client but never get a backpack. Or am i doing something wrong.

[carmine smelt]

My friend is disappointed with the new patch because it does not add a new class that is a crab. He explicitly asked "Can they add a crabomancer?" I told him about the ring that replaces the dodge move with a summon crab item but he is not satisfied. I am wondering for his sake, if there are any updates in the wings past this one that you expect to add any crab-centric classes, moves, or mechanics to.

[placid plinth]

I actually heard someone mention a crab themed cosmetic idea. No idea if it'll happen but that's about the closest I could say.

[placid plinth]

yes no, sorry misread the question at first

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure if indirect casts can echo.

[flint bloom]

#1210282176680169562 are a great place for things like this too 🙂

[placid plinth]

Just a heads up, I will be unavailable for the first hour after patch notes goes live.

[placid plinth]

Should take that long to read anyways. Enjoy.

[karmic crest]

Is it possible other bug fixes could be implemented between now and friday? nothing major of course just stuff that slipped threw

[flint bloom]

likely not cuz they gotta test and submit the build and make sure it runs...but they roll any close to release fixes into like a day1 patch type deal.

[karmic crest]

I assume a large amount was added from a day 1 patch due to the setback of release?

Also random question. How come in the idols slot we have 1 square perma locked? is that a balance reason or aesthetic reason or both

[summer sorrel]

From the small intro in the patch note is it correct to assume there is no pre-loading ?

[flint bloom]

thats just the way they designed the idol slots, to make it a little more puzzle-y. make it so you cant just use 4x1's

[flint bloom]

there is no preload

[astral reef]

Sad. Some players doing monos when slower connect players can start

[blazing hemlock]

"Echoing Strikes now also grants +4% Time Rot chance per point. Additionally, it has a 4 point threshold bonus that grants +50% Time Rot chance for your Echoed abilities." Does the time rot chance gives more damage from Rot grip?

[fast gazelle]

the passive points and idol slots you get from doing dungeons for the first time are an alternative to the campaign, right?

[flint bloom]

yes they are for alt characters skippin the campaign. not really design for new season starts

[velvet plinth]

what is the general purpose/goal of the MG listing price tax?

[flint bloom]

just a gold sink. like lightless arbor. something has to get rid of gold in the economy

[astral reef]

What can cost 1,500,000,000

[velvet plinth]

I thought maybe to deter RMT or another game reason

[flint bloom]

technically, anything you want.

im sure thats also a bit of it. was mainly just using ingame reasons.

helm shards go on helm, and so on

same item type correct (1h sword shard has to be put on a 1h sword, not any weapon, so it's not just slot)

Some items have very unique graphics but when you put them on they look like regular armor ( best example is a chest piece that would have a fire visual). Have these been addressed for season 2?

[flint bloom]

some but not all. it takes longer to make a new model (esp armor) than it takes to make a new unique. its a constant work in progress

What was the point of increasing the cost of the refracting lens up to 110%

[keen widget]

You are simply incredible. We are impatiently waiting for the patch.

[desert sleet]

We've made multiple performance improvements for the stash. The performance improvements are much more impactful for very full stash tabs compared to empty tabs (i.e. the speed of swapping to tabs full of 1x1 items, like small idols, is much improved).

• Improved performance when opening inventory, stash, and forge panels.
• Improved performance around creating new stash tabs with large/full stashes.
• Slightly improved performance of switching tabs in the stash.

Question about the new lightning blast chain functionality vs channeling: Countenance of Mana says it only reduces the channel cost of LB if it cannot chain, for the new default functionality, does it mean:
A: that you need to not take other chaining nodes?
B: when you start channeling, it's a direct cast (adding one chain) and it'll lower the cost after 4 seconds have passed?

Super hyped overall, patch looks amazing.

[rare portal]

question are vale spirits undamageable?

The new conversion nodes for Vengeance
Just to check since the nodes don't mention it, do they convert the corresponding Iron Blades that can spawn into fire or void as apprioriate or are they still physical?

[rancid sand]

heyo quick question does the damage redirect from pale ox happen before or after the dmg reductions from armor and so on

Mike talked about it in a stream before, when they get in the flow of regular content they want to change up what spaces are blocked out to change up how you can use the grid from season to season

Maybe my question was overlooked in all the messages inbetween, but does Spriggan Form override my MTXs and if yes, are you planning on adding something that prevents it, because that would be a bummer, sorry for asking again ❤️

if i understand correctl, i can imprint an item on to the woven tree, and as long as its the same class anything from that can drop? so an LP1 gloves could drop anything from 0-4 LP, and any unique gloves then? presuming boss drops are excluded? and do I lose the imprinted item in the process? thanks! great patch so hyped

does time rot chance work like other ailments where >100% contributes to multiple stacks, even though it's capped at 12 max?

it means you don't have to do campaign, dungeons or arena (the one with arena keys), only Monoliths

With this patch I noticed while looking at the forge guard changes that "two-handed weapon" is not consistent across the board. Sometimes it's "2 handed", then "two handed" or "2h" in some skill descriptions. This is on lastepochtools, but this is datamined correct? Is this the right channel to point this out?

[placid plinth]

#1210281911872786482 is probably better

[placid plinth]

yes

[plucky cape]

So to confirm, i can put lvl 5 req gloves on the imprint tree, and have a chance for high level LP2-4 gloves to drop more essentially? the level doesnt matter?

[astral reef]

How BIG is patch? Like 50gb minimum?

[placid plinth]

No. If you have a unique item imprinted, the Legendary Potential Level of the unique item does impact the chances of improving the LP from your imprinted version.

[vivid fern]

Will Iron Blade from Vengeance tree scale with Vengeance damage modifiers?

[placid plinth]

We don't have an estimated size available at the moment.

[plucky cape]

Ah okay, so it's kind of like increased chances of the base item to drop? or the base item class?

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, I don't understand the question. The game will try to drop something similar to the imprinted item.

[karmic crest]

With the buffed affixes, will existing affixes be adjusted according to their roll range?

[serene mango]

does "Orians's Descent" smite procs share its cooldown/limitation (6 per 10seconds) with smite idols?

[meager bridge]

This

[plucky cape]

no worries 😄 I mean 'something similar' can mean any unique in that item class (example helmet) can drop? so imprinting a unique helmet will result in more unique helmets dropping, not just varieties of the item i imprinted, correct?

[placid plinth]

no, it will consume frostbite if the skill is converted to cold

[placid plinth]

the only way it can drop a unique is if you have that unique imprinted

[placid plinth]

yes, everything will automatically update to the new values

[plucky cape]

Also I saw bears are buffed but raptors stay the same? is that because you guys are happy where they are at the moment, or are they due for a change in a later patch? ^^

[karmic crest]

Why is there now a gold tax on the bazar in addition to the favor tax?

[placid plinth]

Steam servers are the least of anyone's concerns.

[serene mango]

the smite belt with volatile reversal reset, dropped from seeker of the shards

[placid plinth]

inflation

[merry abyss]

I mean something that is a reward in-game. You know, that I can farm or achieve. To feel RAD. Bought and gifted stuff does not excite me that much, even if I bought everything in the shop 👀

[whole siren]

It’s listed on letools, looks like it drops from the orian woven echo

[placid plinth]

oh, no, those are different trigger conditions

[plucky cape]

So for the new tolmats off hand, im guessing it counts towards companion limit, but your tree still applies to them? Also would they be sustainable at all at a later level or are they purely for levelling early?

[rare portal]

can we reforge all pieces of set items and still get the bonus or do we need 1 original piece?

[pearl nexus]

reforged count exactly the same, you don't need any originals

[placid plinth]

Sorry, I'm not sure we're looking at the same item. Where does it say companion and which skill tree would apply?

[placid plinth]

There are no in game feats of strength which are rewarded with cosmetics yet.

[plucky cape]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzCMGYDYE4g so you get an extra minion on top of your companions? that would be awesome! and i mean my own skill tree with minion buffs, sorry lol

[placid plinth]

Yea, it works the same as say Melvern's Writ https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzCMuAOI

[sturdy ridge]

Mike , in LE Tools , I dont need see the new quiver that you teased. Is it not in LE tools yet?

[merry abyss]

Yet? Was it discussed? 👀

[placid plinth]

was that the cocooned one?

[solemn musk]

idk if this is the right spot, but what constitutes an Early Backer? Kickstarter? Or bought on steam before 1.0?

[placid plinth]

everything gets discussed

[placid plinth]

in which context sorry?

[hot forge]

I do not fully understand the player to player trade change.
In 1.2 can I still get resonances? And can I still play with my friend and share the loot?

[somber marten]

Yes, they're just stopping MG P2P trading

[placid plinth]

resonance and gifting is not p2p trading, you can still play with your friend and share loot

[crude plover]

yep it was a kickstarter thing

think they kept doing it for a while after kickstarter but unsure

[solemn musk]

Oh I was just watching the reveal video and they said there are 4 new Early Backer uniques, and I was wondering what that was exactly

[placid plinth]

ahh, yea that's from kickstarter and the alpha supporter packs

[sturdy ridge]

In the eterra montly january 2025 edition , its the quiver thats next to the new bird npc

[placid plinth]

is it the one that looks like this?

[solemn musk]

Ahhh, before my time then. I got in when it was on steam at some point in EA way before 1.0, thanks! Thank you too @crude plover

[hot forge]

In regards to shards and lootfilters, is there a way to only select all rare shards?
Currently it requires me to go to tunklab to find out which shards are below/above a specific droprate to include/exclude them for my filter

[mental breach]

Why nerf COF after admitting it needs help and is the weaker faction. https://www.youtube.com/live/8O8lFqs_mqw?si=WcbAcTZzOTIHxQoa&t=3596

[placid plinth]

no

[cyan linden]

Does Flaming Sword in Vengeance also convert Iron Blade to Fire?

[stark sonnet]

Hi Mike, can you comment on lenses nerf? I think you said just like week ago that you plan to fix "must have lenses" making them be a all time thing, but instead we get them more expensive to use?

[placid plinth]

it's far from all just nerfs, if it makes you feel any better, we also put a straight up gold tax on MG.

[dark frigate]

will there also be an income tax?

[placid plinth]

that's kinda what it is in a way

[stone jewel]

great patchnotes, but you also broke my friend that played frost claw spark charge for 2 cycles now xD

[crude plover]

Gotta spice it up from time to time :P (coming from someone who's played a single build for like 2+ years now, do as I say not as I do and all that )

[bleak forge]

Regarding the approach of capping procs from skills in passives/items, etc:
e.g ⁠#1210286616766062632 message

What led you to decide that this was the best approach to balance these kinds of interactions? (Did you run into any problems with unlimited procs or things like that?)
Is this a final decision, or is it subject to change based on feedback and future balancing?

[clear carbon]

volatile rift question, if i jump forward with future focus, the second combo jump forward (instead of backwards) part of volatile reversal, will it still trigger eternal banquet? (younger devouring orbs)

[flint bloom]

Where do the devs stand on increasing the number of passive points? I know there should be friction and making important choices. But...I can't max out the ones I have. And certain passive trees are considerably more expensive than others which makes it a little more important than others.

[placid plinth]

none of the balancing changes are 100% final.

the short version is that we found it was the best way to limit builds from going too bonkers with them but still allow people to find synergies and combos

[placid plinth]

Not a big fan, possible to find a few in future chapter quests maybe I guess. Probably not though.

[kind crystal]

Is there any limit to the new controller targeting options ?

For example if I try to use dread shade with "cast on self" will it just target whatever minion is closest to me or will the skill just not do anything as you can not target yourself with it ?

[clear carbon]

more passive options allowing for choices in build instead of 1 fixed best tree is highly preferable i would argue

[manic furnace]

I wanted to ask if or when any roadmaps are gonna go out for the future past season 2?

I want to focus more this question on the lore, because after reading parts of the patchnotes I saw lots of small (or big !) improvement in campaining but no final act that seems missing (maybe i have just a wrong idea here) or improvement to the far past that have lacking zones (is it 5 zones ?)

Lastly thanks for the hard work you have been cooking for so long it's going to be a blast to play !

[placid plinth]

pretty sure it counts the second activation as "going back" in this situation

[placid plinth]

the ancient era will be the focus of a future chapter in the campaign. We don't have an ETA yet. We will update the roadmap once Season 2 has died down.

[clear carbon]

thats awesome, ty

[flint bloom]

then perhaps curbing some of the massive variance in total passive tree points would be more tolerable? FG is 229 MM is 198. I do know there are some age showing in the MM tree but just as an example of how some of the newer ones are more point starved

[manic furnace]

Thanks for the answer! Good luck for the release !!

[solemn musk]

For Heartseeker's Straight Through mechanic, the initial arrow will recurve on a single target like normal, and only ever proc the puncture if a target dies? Or will it proc Straight Through on one target if there is only one target (say, a boss)?

[sturdy ridge]

acutally when reading the eterra montly , it said a new subtype of quviers. It was also colored pink

[inner quest]

What exactly does it mean for enemies to be "possessed by Souls of the Erased" in the Weaver Tree (Outrider Souls)? The explanation text below describes Tombs, Memory Amber, and Woven Echoes.. which doesn't really seem to clarify anything.. 😅

[flint bloom]

We were told the weaver collects souls in cocoons. When we break them open, they go to buff other monsters, making them possessed. (This was Tri's podcast i think?)

[crude plover]

when the target dies it'll cast puncture as many times as that target would've gotten recurved more if they didn't die, so like if it was gonna recurve 10 times total, but the target dies after 8, you'll cast 2 punctures

[solemn musk]

Gotcha, but otherwise it would recurve like normal? So if it had 10 recurves it would just slam through 10 times and proc 0 punctures?

[crude plover]

correct

[solemn musk]

Disappointing but understandable! Thanks again 💙

[inner quest]

I figured it makes the mobs stronger somehow, I'm just curious about why someone would want this.
Like what is the reward, lol. Most other nodes on the Weaver Tree explicitly say what you're getting from it, not this vague "maybe you get something, who knows, the monsters will be bigger and meaner" 🤣
Same question with "incubated silk" on Darkwoven Threads. Should I just expect possessed monsters to drop more of everything?

[somber marten]

Doesn't possessed monsters drop the faction currency?

[inner quest]

I have no idea, that's why I'm asking. The description doesn't say at all, and it probably should if that's what it means.

[flint bloom]

more power=better rewards. yup. i do believe its more faction currency. and maybe those cocooned items?

[eternal grove]

Will Last Epoch ever get gear that increases/decreases playersize?

[opaque mist]

I couldn't find it in the patch notes but is there any changes to resonances? Or were they changed at any point? Last time I played a lot with friends it was super rare and nearly impossible to give eachother items that were actually needed like T6-7 and LP items.

[opaque spoke]

Will fragmenting the Last Bear helm offer the "100% chance to taunt nearby enemies for 2 seconds when you stun an enemy" as an affix? I love tanking, and I was hoping sentinel would eventually get a threat option besides it being on Manifest Armor. I have used Last Bear on sentinel in the past for tanking in group content. I get new friends into Last Epoch all the time, and I always play werebear so I can handle threat and taunt enemies with Warcry, as they get used to the game and build however they want.

[fast spade]

Quick question, will the new Void Beams from Smite be affected by damage modifiers from either Smite or Erasing Strike skill tree? (Renouncement Void Knight notable)

[amber hill]

I see with the change that the mana cost is removed from tooltips of triggered skills (eg: Fissure) but this mana cost will still be required for other effects like the crushing blows passive in Forge guard(more damage per mana cost). So is the cost now set to 0 so these skills will not benefit from such effects? or does it still exist and contribute to damage but is just not shown. Also I remember the shield breaker node added mana cost to the triggered skill Axe throw will this still happen or be removed also?

[bold wedge]

Will there be more co-op progression for monoliths? it feels bad campaign is fully party progressed but then endgame is not with friends

[solid torrent]

Mike, Penance(Paladin Passive) scaling bleed duration with endurance threshold, was this tested using foot of the mountain + close call? with a bit o dodge invested, block i can get constant 10/12k endurance threshold when standing still giving me roughly 600% bleed duration

[somber marten]

Sorry, but what in gods name are you talking about? What scaling?

[solid torrent]

reworked paladin bleed node

[plucky crane]

Has there been any info on dancing strike skill in the patch or is this being looked at in the future (or are we happy with its performance?)?

[somber marten]

Patch notes says no changes to Dancing Strikes.

[waxen fox]

Can cemeteries spawn in arena echo's?

[past mist]

Was Ice Barrage the skill being shown off a lot in the patch overview? Looks very cool

[pine dome]

It was one of them yes

[flint bloom]

is it possible to do tech checks with streamers ahead of podcasts? asking for a friend

[plucky crane]

Can we get an EHG person confirming that this is actually still happening?

[lavish aurora]

Hello. Is manifest armor and forged weapons affected by the "stat per forged weapon" stats on the sunforged set?

[placid plinth]

it is still happening, aaron is fixing his layout

[pine dome]

If they were able to spawn Forged Weapons them selves, maybe

But they cant

[crude plover]

yea they shouldn't be

[kind crystal]

With the new controller targeting options is there anything like "target nearby ally".

I'm mainly thinking for ability like shades or blessing when you want to target a certain minion to get full effect.

[nocturne jackal]

Nah they said no cemeteries in Arena or Quest echoes

[sturdy ridge]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/uploads/default/original/3X/9/2/9206a6ea50c1c7f71ba7c6c361213f44c36884f6.jpeg it was this one

[lavish aurora]

How does the bladestorm node and the additional swords replaced by smite node interact?

[hoary frigate]

Do I understand it right - new supporter packs will become available for purchase on Apr 17th?

[flint bloom]

yep

[teal trail]

does the pearls of the swine amulet also work(apply the curse) if bone curse is turned into an aura

[livid venture]

i wonder how many ppl have got to try season 2, and im not talking about streamer with the best computers. about the average player so the dev will be able to fix bug and fps problem before hand

[flint bloom]

lots of players in CT have a not great pc. i have a 2070. i test fine.

[crude plover]

I was testing on a laptop with a 2070 just fine

[slate nimbus]

In Void Knight passive's tree in "Essence of the end" described that you cannot gain void essence more than 1 in 4 seconds. But in other similar effects like Volatile Reversal's "Eldritch Infusion" there's no limitations to this. Is limitation to 1 essence per 4 second exists only for passive "Essence of the end" or this limitation is hardlocked for all essence gain effects from all sources?

[pearl nexus]

the limit is only for that passive

[worthy mirage]

hey Mike, is it me or does it look like the Countenance of Mana node in Lightning Blast is now completely dysfunctional since LB gets chains at baseline in 1.2? You cannot use it in a way where it won't have a chance to chain.

[slate nimbus]

You 100% sure?

[crude plover]

yes

[marsh venture]

That's an Avenged Blade Quiver. Blade Quivers are a new quiver type that's only available through Nemesis, and can be upgraded by killing a Harbinger with it equipped, like other Nemesis specific weapons and offhands.

It gives crit chance, mana regen, and a chance to inflict Critical Vulnerability on hit

[sturdy ridge]

ahhh thank you

[amber hill]

Is the new functionality for timerot, doom and abyssal decay to replace existing DoTs (weaker DoT does not overwrite stronger DoT) also applicable to other such ailments like Spreading Flames, Plague, Brands, etc.

[waxen fox]

the weaver tree node "arena echo contain less waves"

Does that result in same amount of mobs in total but condensed into less waves or does it actually reduce the total mob count of the echo?

[toxic vale]

Hey!, by any chance does anyone knows the name of this soundtrack? sadly is a small piece, but to be fair this is on loop.

[whole siren]

#🔱┃sentinel message
With essence weaver is there any weighting or preference for the random spells it casts if you actually have any of them specialized? or is it truly random?

[orchid aurora]

Hi all, super excited for the upcoming release, I was curious about multiplayer though. I loved playing back at release (pre-season 1) with friends. This is honestly my favorite ARPG to play with friends, given the benefits of CoF faction while playing with friends.

One of our only challenges though was trying to progress the monolith of fate as a group of 3 or 4, as only one member of the party would get any real "meta-progress", it wouldn't effectively transfer over.

I was just curious, have there been any improvements in terms of meta-progress in group play?

[marsh venture]

Reduced the total number of mobs. It does not affect the number of mobs in each wave.

[meager mountain]

not sure if this has been asked before, but when you imprint an item in the weaver tree (in order to get the chance to drop more of that item) is the item lost? or do you get to keep it?

[pearl nexus]

you keep it, it is put back into your inventory

[tired pilot]

Testers posting builds before the actual start of the league again 😦 , such an anti-fun thing to allow to happen. Why take away one of the more fun and engaging parts about league launches of the community working together for trying to find builds and strategies

[opaque falcon]

theorycrafting is a part of the game, nothing wrong with it

[tired pilot]

they aren't theorycrafting though. these are guides from builds that they have played

[flint bloom]

please leave this channel open for questions, and not discussions

plenty of other channels if you want to

[fickle glade]

in the new sezon they adding QoF for bypassing campaign but, is this will work for alts only or we just get key to dungeons on campaign or something

[flint bloom]

skipping the campaign is designed to be there for alts. you arent expected to have the gear or the keys to skip on your first toon

[whole siren]

you CAN get a key pretty early on (I think you always get one from a chest in the imperial era map)
but even then you still want to do the campaign or you wont get access to merchant guild or circle of fate
not sure if you can use that key to skip though

[rare portal]

does iron blade convert with the void conversion on vengeance?

[desert sleet]

they save an imprint of the item at the time you "place" it in the imprint slot (the same interaction as if you were placing it, but the item stays in your inventory) - if you make changes to the item later, the imprint will not change - you can freely overwrite the imprint at any time (e.g. if you craft the item to be better or find a different item you would rather imprint)

[pearl nexus]

temporal sanctum skip gets you almost to the item faction town

[whole siren]

yes I asked Mike the question earlier, the conversion nodes also affect iron blade

[rare portal]

ty

[scarlet flume]

is it possible for forged weapons to inherit unique affixes of an equiped weapon? specifically forge weapons dont seem to have resistances baseline (correct me if I am wrong), if I add physical resistance to them through a gloves roll and phantom grip ring (makes glove stats apply to forged weapons) will then the unique effect of the 2handed sword Torkrefin's Hunger apply/proc on their attacks? (phys pen and bleed chance per uncapped physical resistance)

[unkempt nacelle]

Phantom Grip doesn't apply unique effects and I'm pretty sure they don't inherit unique effects from weapons either

[scarlet flume]

phantom grip would apply the physical resistance, the sword has the unique effect and forged weapons inherit the used weapon stats thats the interaction I am trying to figure out if it works, other unique things that are easy-ish to test like plague on hit do apply

[unkempt nacelle]

test with, i dunno, Frozen Ire or another proc weapon? you might be able to see the Viscera stacks in their buff/debuff bar also. I would be shocked if this worked though.

[cursive basin]

does the weaver node 'bountiful sarcophagy' also make enemies drop harbinger gear? or only mono boss gear?

[rare portal]

the new volitile reversal does the imuttable past node take away they porting back to where you were? (says second combo so assuming it takes out the port too?)

[marsh venture]

We'd love to do this, but because of how these special stats are applied, it's a lot more complicated than with regular stats, especially without it negatively impacting FPS.

[opaque falcon]

Is there a T7 Champion affix possible roll or is it capped at a certain tier?

[viscid mirage]

Not a question but holy s**t you guys cooked this season looks INSANE. Can't wait to get lost in last epoch for another 100 hours. Thank you 🙏🏼

[pearl nexus]

they can drop as T7 yes

[whole siren]

yeah I've been waiting for my forged weapons to spam out dozens of fire tornados with the unique gloves since that ring was created 🤣

[flint bloom]

all affixes can get t7 somehow. champions are drop only tho as example

[fiery trail]

With the new chat commands coming in S2, is there a reason why the /played command is not included in that list?

[rare portal]

does the new node immutable past in volitile reversal remove the second teleport backwards?

[brave spoke]

Thank you to all of the developers. The podcast was great!

[placid plinth]

it's not a stat we could work into the system accurately in time

[placid plinth]

yes

[pearl canyon]

With the Phase Point unique quiver and Nightfall in Dark Quiver, would I have the ability to indefinitely incresae my amount of dusk shrouds through dodging, getting a dark arrow, and then getting dusk shrouds from my obtained dark arrow to then continue the cycle

So the way it would work with the quiver is
Dodge > Get Black Arrow > Get Dusk Shrouds from Black Arrow > dodge > repeat

[thick patio]

Any future changes planned to multiplayer corruption progression so that a group can progress together without repeat farming for individual corruption gain?

[rare portal]

rot grip's third scaler has melee, throwing, and cast speed if you avoided cast/throwing would it base it just on melee or be 0% cause you have not invested in the others? (as it states uses the lowest) or is this an either or melee/throwing vs cast ?

[azure jasper]

"Witchfire is an ailment that deals 600 fire and 600 necrotic damage over 12 seconds. It cannot stack."
im kinda lost, so witchfire deals that 1200 dmg total every second and scales with inc% DoT or that the amount its gonna be dealt throughout 12 seconds +multipliers on top?

[placid plinth]

no, that would be if it said "deals 600 fire and 600 necrotic damage every second for 12 seconds"

also because it is not created by a skill but rather directly by the player, it never scales off of the more multipliers from the skill or the attribute scaling of that skill

[azure jasper]

it would scale off DoT + now the new item thats really up to 600/700% more dmg on witchfire, no?

[placid plinth]

here is another way to look at it. What is your lowest stat of melee/throwing/cast speed? ok, ignore the rest, scale of the worst of the 3.

[placid plinth]

It scales off of any global modifier which applies. It's just like how fire aura works on mage right now as an example.

[rare portal]

so 10/0/0 would be 0 but 10/20/0 would be 10?

[crude plover]

Also 0

It takes the lowest of the three

[placid plinth]

maybe, you still have to complete some content at the significantly higher rate and could potentially lock yourself out of doing content on a character if we just shared it outright

[placid plinth]

what is the lowest value of 10/20/0?

[whole siren]

Hi Mike, sorry for the bump I think this one might have been missed
Also how exactly does it work?

1. A single nearest enemy gets blasted by 9 spells randomly from the list
2. 9 enemies each get blasted by 1 spell randomly from the list with each enemy only affected once

[placid plinth]

it does each stack individually. randomly picks a skill from the list, randomly picks and enemy. repeat.

[whole siren]

Cool and theres no weighting or preference for a skill you have specialized I take it?

[placid plinth]

for performance reasons it is technically not "true" random using atmospheric noise or something like that but we haven't weighted it.

[spiral summit]

mike, can you justify loot lizards nerfing especially for campaign? I understand the woven part, but you don't have access to those in the campaign. So essentially your gear progression in campaign is now nerfed

[thick patio]

multiplayer progression is definitely better than in 1.0 with easier catch up but it still feels bad and breaks the flow when progressing in a group to go back and catch everyone up to make sure nobody is left behind and it gets even worse the more players there are, not sure on a solution to prevent other issues arising from completely shared progress

[flint bloom]

a lot of players felt they appear TOO often, and were often a pain point chasing them so often. so the devs reduced their spawn chance. BUT they also increased the loot they get. Overall its about even for loot. if not slightly leaning towards more loot overall.

[void prawn]

So with the void knight being reworked so heavily. To be have a lot stronger damage reduction in combat. Was there ever a fear he'd devolve back into the hit and run class he was with the old volatile reversal, and were there any measures you had to take to prevent degenerate playstyles from evolving out of it?

[spiral summit]

sorry, where does it state "increased the loot they get"? There's only the loot lizards spawn less frequently by default in the patch note, unless I'm overlooking something

[worthy mirage]

bump

[thick nacelle]

would it be possible to add more then 75 rules to the loot filter? as someone who is involved with one of the biggest MG help discords that made loot filters in the past we wont nearly have enough rule's to add all the conditions needed to make a good filter, 75 was tight in 1,1 already.

[uneven kestrel]

It cannot chain at bosses no?

[worthy mirage]

if you look at its interactions with the Arcing Power node, you'll notice that this should not matter, unless its actual functionality doesn't match the tooltip (which isn't uncommon in this game)

[flint bloom]

iirc this was mentioned in a podcast, Tri's i believe. but also loot lizards arent "normal" mobs afaik, i think they are actually rare so they drop more cuz of that

[flint bloom]

its possible but there is an ever increasing tech/performance issue when every item has to run thru all those rules, and the more rules the bigger that issue gets.

[thick nacelle]

mmm okay i see what you mean, i hope it can be improved in the near future as it is sadly something that is causing us to be unable to produce high quality filters for our comunity in the upcomming patch, thanks for the insight tho!

[dark frigate]

There is a rule to not ping the devs and the legacy equipment will be updated

[main lagoon]

no they change to bees mike confirmed it in the podcast

id love to see abomonation changed to a frankenstein-esque skill where you can take certain appendages/body parts from enemies/bosses you kill and can fuse them together to make your own style abomonation.

maybe a bench/crafting window specifically to acolyte and depending which combo you do for appendages changes the mods/behaviour is this something thats been asked before or would/could be possible??

[ember topaz]

Did beacon resetting get nerfed in 1.2? I didn't see it mentioned specifically on the "reset prevention" changes, only reducing loot on re-entry which wasn't the primary reason CoF players did it

[eternal galleon]

My friend is sad about the multi-meteor self casting change, I was wondering if you guys could share insight as to why it was changed/nerfed? He is convinced that the meteor belt build wasn't out of line in terms of power, but he has not played anything else since the belts introduction lol

[azure jasper]

question about acid skin
node in chthonic fissure "Bonus Crit Chance per 10% Inc Poison Damage: +1%" - for acid skin from base 20%
now we have one more source of acid skin in "Pearls of the Swine" amulet that applies acid skin with bone curse
does node affect also acid skin applied by bone curse from amulet?

[final night]

Will the update to currently existing uniques affect them or will it only affect the newuniques that drop? For example, I have a Kermodes Cage that does +20 to melee cold, will it update to +30 or stay at +20?

[teal trail]

i asked this before and yes

[desert sleet]

Item changes automatically apply to existing items. It will keep it's relative roll within the old range and apply that to the new range.

[humble axle]

Ok here's a two part question. One is the summoned crab from the crab ring an Atlantic rock crab? (it looks the same). And two if yes is the reason it summoned as a lobster because it rocked so hard it become a "rock lobster"? 🙂

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

[earnest junco]

I'm unsure if i can ask this here, but What does "Per 2% Uncapped Elemental Resisntace" mean in Defiance threshold passive?
Intuitively i would think "+1 endurance threshold per uncapped ele res" would mean per any 2% of fire, lightning, cold resistance I have, meaning if i had 40, 50, 60 res of each (total 150), i should get 75 endurance.

but lastepochtools is giving me endurance based on lowest elemental resist (20 endurance, instead ofd 75). while it could be bugged, makes me think if the game is possibly thinking "elemental res" as some kind of... set, say if you had 40 fire, 60 cold, 75 lightning res you have 40 ele res (while not intuitive at least could make sense in some regard).

maybe if the node actually would function like latter "lowest ele res" would be more appropriate wording? maybe just letools is bugged?

[inner quest]

Various new modifiers added in season 2 don't work correctly on LEtools yet.

[desert sleet]

Double checked the game code and "uncapped elemental resistance" for Defiance is the total of your cold, fire, and lightning res.

[balmy quest]

Have we had prices for new supporter packs?

[placid plinth]

10/30/40/60

[desert sleet]

LETools is a 3rd party site, so if you find bugs there, you can report them in their discord's bugs channel.

[shut solar]

Pretty sure Its uncapped per. So 76%-76%-76% for 3% for +1.5 endurance or 78% - 75% -75% for +1.5 endurance.

[inner quest]

You're confusing uncapped with overcapped. See: https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/terminology

[shut solar]

I understand the difference but unless ur specifically entering say total 70% resis with the damage at 40% for 30% difference. But im sure LEtools is going off a 75% damage amount. But as devs said best to ask them

Not sure if sent or not, that page weird, the submit button just keeps extending the textarea until it gave up and actually sent i think🤷‍♀️
Thanks for the quick reply.

[placid plinth]

you'll get an auto confirmation reply to know if it was submitted correctly

[placid plinth]

I think so yea

[inner quest]

What exactly is this new "Chosen of the Chosen" ailment? Is it actually accessible to players? https://www.lastepochtools.com/ailments/chosen_erased_ailment

[placid plinth]

enemy only

[bold shale]

Is there any way to target a specific type of champion? For example, if someone wants to build around a specific champion affix, which only drops from one type of champion, they'd need to try to get an exalted item, hopefully with relevant affixes, with that champion's affix. Is there any way to aim for a specific champion type? Or are champions common enough for that not to matter.

[gusty prawn]

Does the bleed ignite conversion also apply to the lightning spears in javelin?

[rare portal]

what is the max weaver's touch we can get can we get enough to max both enchants to t7?

[desert sleet]

Yes, the max you can get would be double T7 enchanted affixes (though that would be exceptionally giga ultra super rare)

[wraith turret]

i am sure someone has ask this but

first off great job on implementing so many cool new things really set the excitement and expectation for the game

but how accessible for the player are these cool new changes?

what are your expected appearance rate of all the cool new changes?

better and new rune
better and new echo
appearance rate of new encounter etc

certain game out there have this tendency to make cool new stuff but causal player will probably never see it or at most 1-2 through out their 1-2 week causal play time

[rustic canopy]

would it be possible to make it so tombs/nemesis/exiled mage can spawn in arena echos again since you guys fixed the portal abuse? I wanna juice arenas but if none of those can spawn in them then it's kinda a big opportunity cost

[pine chasm]

Are you asking about the split spears from divine fury? Yes, they inherit all stats on javelin itself, as converted.

[rich sparrow]

So with the big changes to set bonuses and the fact that you can essentially craft set items, why are there no new set items with this patch? Wouldn't this be the time to introduce sets that are designed around this new system?

[last hemlock]

Does the weaver node "enthralling bounty" stack with Circle of fortunes chance to double echo rewards? and if so in what way. If both proc as an example on a unique ring reward, will I get 3 rings or 4?

[jaunty dune]

Yes

[slow linden]

Does applying penance curse to yourself and your minions with new amulet hit you when you hit enemies ?

[tall depot]

I havent played LE since last year, has there been some kind of major visual overhaul? I just watched the patch overview video and hot damn I don't remember the game looking so good before

[reef sable]

Some Woven Echoes refer to "surrounding echoes". How is that defined - e.g. is it proximity (even without a connection) or being connected?

[supple pulsar]

Question for EHG: For this new nerf to auto-casting meteors with Harbinger of Stars, the way I'm reading the patch notes makes it sound like the cost of meteor is reduced to it's "normal" cost because the verbage used here is: "Twin Meteors grants an additional meteor for direct casts (from any cast). It adds 50 mana cost (from 70). <- So I'm hoping this means that when auto-casting meteors you do not pay this extra cost and only cast a single meteor, is that correct?

[raven crow]

no changes at all for druid? at for the bear form

[pine dome]

Did you see any in the patch note?

[raven crow]

not really, just totem changes. no changes to Upheaval or fury leap. the only changes to upheaveal were just totems. feels like a poe 1 patch buffing totems instead of the class

[somber marten]

If it's not in the patch notes then it's untouched.

[raven crow]

yes, but wait 1 year for a patch then no changes at all. feels awful. the video made by dre3adful has a lot of info on it

[pine dome]

This is not the place for a discussion

If you have #1210281911872786482 on the patch note before playing the patch

Go to #1210281911872786482

[raven crow]

like for example bloodthirst is locking skull crusher for interact with leapslam+ bear talents. -3 points if i decide to not invent into bleeding and to many nodes makes upheveal talents be really mana/rage intensive

then why the cat name is called ask the devs ._.

[pine dome]

Your question was, is there any change to Druid in the patch?
Answer : barely because there is none in the patch note. Then I don't see another question. I see a feedback (a valid one) that after a year druid did not get a lot of change. And this is not the place

The question why is there no changes to Druid in this patch is probably : the main focus was Sentinel.

[raven crow]

oh okok good point ty.

but it could be possible at least to let druid use companions while in bear form? i always have the same x2 maul on the bars, since there isnt another skill to use besides bear skills

[rancid sand]

heyo soo when does it happen?

[frank imp]

Is there any future plans for a Loadout system where we can have different builds ( Items and Skills ) for each character instead of having to respec manually? Having to pay the amount of gold based on the skill points ( and mastery ) changes

[somber marten]

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

TLDR:No

[obtuse oyster]

QQ about the DLC packs on the Steam store. does the "Eternal Legend" include all other "Eternal" DLC packs or not? It doesn't say it in the description like for eg. the "Abyssal Legend" pack where it specifically states it includes the lower cost packs.

[frank imp]

I see, I guess the only way is either spend time doing respec or do the story multiple times to have diff characters with builds ready

[pine dome]

Eternal Legends doesnt include previous tier of pack

This is a thing with the new packs

[obtuse oyster]

gotcha, thanks for confirming. just wanted to make sure I don't pay for duplicates.

[spiral summit]

What's the interaction between counter attack Retribution & Riposte? Stack on top of each other? 1 of them override?

[opaque falcon]

Pretty sure I already know the answer to this question so sorry but I just wanted to double check.

Are all of the old supporter packs going to be available for purchase at the launch of Season 2? My understand is they leave the store early May.

[serene mango]

that is correct

[opaque falcon]

Thank you

[lucid pond]

Hi there, can you help me clarify something?

If I look at the Forge Strike node "Shrapnel" that makes the forged weapons explode.
It is the fire burst that causes the explosion damage, but how does that scale?
The fire burst itself does not have the minion tag, but the explosion come from the minion?
https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/summon_weapon/sources

[pine dome]

It's casted by the minions

And scale with anything minion

Get it's attribute scaling from your minions too > Attunement

[lucid pond]

Hmm okay, it just dont say so 🙂 But that will say that and general fire damage don't work on it.

But will that say, that as the minion forged weapon scale from minion melee tag, will the fire burst also scale form the minion melee?

[pine dome]

Fire Burst is a Spell

Casted by your minion

It will scale with Spell Stats from your Minions

[lucid pond]

Okay thx 🙂 Will try make something funny out of it, but its a bit wird how it works.

[limber plume]

Are "Armor shred" and "Physical resistance shred" same thing? Asking about Javelin nodes Divine Throws (converts Physical res shred to lightning) and Serrated Javelin (Armor shred chance)

[pine dome]

Armor Shred removes Armor

Armor mitigates Hit Dmg (and is less effective for non Phys Hit)

Physical Shred Removes Phys Res, that mitigate all kind of Phys Dmg

They are 2 differents bucket of Dmg/Dmg Mitigation

[jovial sphinx]

idk if it was asked before, what will happen with double life idols in legacy? will we be able to keep them in our stashes as reminders or will the one hp stat get randomly converted to another affix?

[pine dome]

It's in the patch note

You get Ele Res

[jovial sphinx]

ah must have missed it then, sorry! what a bummer then, will the % roll that the flat HP had at least get carried over onto the ele res?

[pearl nexus]

yes, if you had a perfected rolled or close, it should still be perfect rolled after the patch

[hollow pelican]

Hello, does burning dagger NOT created by Pillager Gold also get the bonus damage from Pillager Gold?
I see both answers on reddit so I ask here, thanks.

[static vale]

Mike, could we officially rename Uber Aberroth to Uberroth?

[fresh viper]

do leagues work in off line

[astral reef]

Yes

[lean kindle]

Hi, I want to know what exactly the state "In combat" refer to, for Grim Constitution shield (unique) ?
Probably if I don't deal/take any sort of damage (direct or DOT) for the last 4sec but I'm not sure ?

[lavish aurora]

Hello, does anyone know how the increased length and increased width nodes of shield bash interact with generic increased aoe from gear?
My assumption is that the increased length and width nodes increase the "base" area. Then comes the generic aoe. So in a way, they are multiplicative with generic aoe. Is that correct?

[timid fjord]

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

[wooden blade]

Are the two separate increased Duration modifiers in Judgements Holy Ground Tree additively or multiplicatively to each other?

[signal kindle]

Does every passive node on skill tree multiplicative with each other? Ex: Are two different 40% multi nodes = * 1.4 * 1.4 which equals to 1.96 or =*1.8 ?

[somber marten]

They’re all more modifiers, so multiplicative

[ocean scaffold]

I might be nitpicking, in 10:44 of Patch Overview video, the UI of the key trader looks like it needs each of the dungeon key not any. It might confuse some of the players who didn't read the patch (or new players) in my opinion. Is there anyway to make it look like it's any keys or just add the "any" keyword on the Exchange Requirement?

[signal kindle]

So you mean every single one is multiplicative with each other, hence in my example it is 1.96, right?

[static vale]

Yes, unless a node specifies that it's "increased".

[verbal pine]

in the suggestions forums can one be added for mtx critiques/suggestions? all the mtx showcased were really cool but the primalist maelstrom felt very flat. or should i suggest that in gameplay?

[astral reef]

#1210281911872786482 i believe

[verbal pine]

ah cool thanks!

[lean kindle]

Thank

[sinful blade]

Hey devs, are there gonna be any changes for hardcore? Last time I ripped to a dc two times and that was the league. Are we still chilling in a pack of mobs when we dc?

[flint bloom]

there is no DC protection. though just general server stability has been worked on so it should happen less, unless its a problem between you and game.

[astral reef]

In future would it be possible to buy seasonal support packs before season starts? 2-5 days before for example.

[ancient night]

I have been a long time supporter of the game, love the vision. I have a question, the phasing and lack of physics between player and monster makes the games combat feel very light and easy, is this a design concept or is it something that the team is still iterating on? I personally would love to see more physics added to the game.

[hazy fox]

I was looking at the new unique item "Inheritance of the erased", i was wondering, will it apply to shield from ring of shield? right now i'm looking into a "mono" minion with manifest armor but with ring of shield as extra defensive layer, in the case the frenzy buff apply to shield than i will trash the idea.

[sinful blade]

The problem is not frequency, but that it have to happen just once to ruin everything. Thanks for the answer though.

[astral reef]

That a problem with online games in general, its not a new thing

[sinful blade]

No it isn't. You have three workaround precedents: poe - instant removal of the character; poe 2 - pause; d4 - character lags behind, but there is a cheat death potion I guess.

The way it is now hc is unplayable, but I'm sure I'm not the first one to point that out. Just wanted to check if anything changed

[astral reef]

None of those are 100% failsafe. d4 literally removed cheat death potion because it didnt work

[sinful blade]

all of those three are wdym

[plucky crane]

Kind of missed this type of question in the stream yesterday, but what are some of the things that didn't make it in this patch that devs would want to look at? Which skills do they feel are the most underperformers right now.
And finally: how is dancing strikes + WASD?

[split otter]

for when you will fix the price for eternal pack? It makes no sense to increase the price without including the previous packages. This is a general complaint and something negative for your business model.

[astral reef]

Are blessings from monolith bosses weighted in any way or are all equal chance to pop on your screen?

[wild palm]

designdesicion on gold income for CoF? asking because some normal incomes are weird. atm i takes me around an hour to farm just GOLD with normal lvl 100 monolights to buy a stashtab at 120k gold price next stash.
my lvl 4 character gets almost the same gold out of a "gold shrine" than my lvl 97 character out of a 300 corruption monoligh end chest? (around 1-2k)
will COF people have anohter way of making gold in s2 patch? playing SSF only and im a hoarder i want to keep everything 😛
also selling items to a vendor at lvl 97 gives 1-50gold?

[static vale]

No, they're all random.

[pastel ruin]

Does the new Mana Guide amulet change the Focus into movement or traversal skill?

[hexed bluff]

I'm playing minions necromancer and the ivory twin ability feels kinda bad if you spec out of bone into a different kind of golem. Basically whenever I start up the game I get all my minions out and I have to re-summon my golems 5-6 times until RNG gives me 2x flame golems. And then they never die so they stay flame the entire time I'm playing. If it was a mechanic where the intent is to get a random one every time as a downside for having two of them I could understand that, but in the current state while I'm levelling it just feels like an annoyance

Edit: Also, it's kinda inconsistent with other minion skills. Mages for example you can spend an extra skillpoint to remove RNG on mage summons and get a fire mage (for example) every time

[pine chasm]

They can vary some based on which slots they are allowed to appear in. TunkLab has the chances calculated out for each monolith timeline.

[astral reef]

Ah great, ty

[valid marlin]

Interesting question.

#1210281911872786482

[obtuse rapids]

Im not sure if this was answered somewhere already, but the woven offering that lets you reroll uniques and legendaries and whatnot, will the sacrifice need to be the same item type? or will you be able to reroll a, say 3LP unique with a 3 affix legendary?

[crude plover]

It needs to be the same unique, the sacrifice needs to have a higher amount of lp/ww than the unique being rerolled.

you can use a legendary to reroll a unique, but they still have to be the same unique

each affix on the legendary counts as 1 lp

[obtuse rapids]

ah so you can use a failed legendary for example, thats nice

[amber hill]

Is the new functionality for timerot, doom and abyssal decay to replace existing DoTs (weaker DoT does not overwrite stronger DoT) also applicable to other such ailments like Spreading Flames, Plague, Brands, etc.

[limber pasture]

Reroll Unique or Set item mod values: Reroll mod and implicit values of Unique and Set items by sacrificing another of the same type with at least equal power level.
not higher, equal or higher

[crude plover]

yep sorry, equal or higher

[austere wedge]

are there any plans for LE sale on Steam prior or during the launch of Season2?

[pastel ruin]

The item itself doesnt say it changes Focus into movement/traversal but some followup questions would be, if it is movement/traversal does Julra's Stardial work with it and if it isnt, then does stuff like Arcane Ascendence skill or Foot of The Mountains work with it

[limber plume]

Divine Throw in Javelin says "...and effects related to bleed or ignite now depend on electrify instead". Does that mean that in the passive tree, Phoenix Strike 5 point bonus works, and what about Penance and Redeption?

[pine chasm]

It only applies to effects in that skill tree

[limber plume]

Additionaly, in Javelin tree, can Siege Barrage hit the same target multiple times (since 4 javelins)?

[olive cargo]

As far as the monolith hub goes, will the new transitions also apply to the area you warp back to after you complete an echo? So if I pop into a stream for example, would I be able to tell which timeline they're doing at a glance just by seeing where they are while they're opening up an echo chest, etc?

[sharp cape]

Did developers ever talked about adjusting regional pricing on steam? I earn 1/4 of average Euro/Dolar country workers and im paying around 15% more than them in poland. And i dont really mind price so much since after playing PoE for 100h+ i bought couple tabs and couple mtx cause i felt they deserved it. But i feel really bitter paying for game only less than Switzerland

[pearl nexus]

no, that only applies to the area where you choose the monolith
all echo reward rooms look the same, no matter the monolith
the only difference can be weather effects (but that's a bug, when the weather doesn't clear after completing the echo)

[hidden yew]

Are performance improvements included in the Season 2 patch? It feels very weird that changing settings doesn't impact a lot how much my GPU is working unless I lower the resolution. (Not a rant)

[flint bloom]

yes

[cursive basin]

Can you have champions target seal an imprinted affix by having that be the only affix on the gear?

[last hemlock]

Does the weaver node "enthralling bounty" stack with Circle of fortunes chance to double echo rewards? and if so in what way. If both proc as an example on a unique ring reward, will I get 3 rings or 4?

[pine chasm]

Yes, if they both proc together you get 4x

[simple axle]

With the Season 2 update in multiplayer will all players be able to gain corruption or is it just the party leader, felt kinda bad to rotate so it was always better to have 1 person do all the echos

[vague bough]

Dude, this change would be good!

[exotic bone]

can we have experimental affixes on a reforged item?

[flint bloom]

yes

[gusty prawn]

How do the proc limits work from multiple sources? For example the smite on throwing attack from the idol and champion affix. Do they just increase the chance or are the limits independent?

[idle garden]

Is Season 2 still going to be on the Unity engine or did you all swap to a different engine?

[dark frigate]

Unity and they dont have any plans to switch at the moment

[astral reef]

they said they wont switch it. if they switch its new game. Unity is upgraded version tho and gives better tools

[rare thicket]

will the old cosmetics be removed from the store with the new season coming?

[crude plover]

Only the old supporter packs are being replaced as far as we know

[little raptor]

In the new symbols of hope, if you take the node to convert the fire damage granted to void, will Divine Flare convert to void damage? I'm guessing no but I thought I would double check.

[formal atlas]

is HDR support planned for Last Epoch?

[keen juniper]

How does Skill alternating work with skill MTX? will i get pestilence Squirrels if i use pestilence wolf mtx forexample?

[lone merlin]

Can loot lizards naturally spawn in arenas?

[frosty vapor]

Will the crafting rewards at the end of woven echoes (reroll LP, experimental crafting, shatter set items) scale with corruption? Will access to those rewards go away if you die while running a woven echo?

[pearl nexus]

squirrels look the same with the pestilence mtx

[eternal zinc]

Question:

Will we see Mike to fight with uber Aberroth in future Friday streams? It'll very interesting to watch.

[ashen summit]

would it be likely that we could get a chat command in the future to check play time on individual characters or is that something that might be too costly on dev time because it would require making a system to track it to begin with?

[wooden lynx]

has the throwing attack speed affix been added as a possible affix for weapons like on spears for example?

[crude plover]

Sounds like it's something they want/plan to add but just didn't make it in time for season 2.
#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[crude plover]

Not as of season 2 (1.2)

[wooden lynx]

Is it just an oversight, considering that bows can roll attack speed and melee weapons cant roll attack speed, or do the devs not like the idea of being able to have throwing attack speed on your throwing weapon?

[crude plover]

The latter, I'll try digging up some old messages since i remember Mike talking about this

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

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

Basically since you're not really using your weapon for throwing attacks they're not intended to be affected all that much by the weapon if that makes sense (I know there are exceptions like javelin throw, but think of that as a magical javelin you manifest)

[wooden lynx]

i mean its fair enough, it has the upside that you can get t7 flat melee damage on your weapon that gets converted to throwing damage

[crude plover]

Yep. I think it's good since it spices things up a bit. Makes throwing builds a little more unique in how they itemize

[dark frigate]

Until they support it you can try windows auto hdr, works surprisingly well for this game

[umbral bear]

Hey guys i dont know if you will be able to answer about that, but the support packs and cash prices in Brazilians Reais are kinda funky right now, some have 52% discount compared to USA Dollars, others have 42%, because of that some packages are way more expensive than others. It is intended?

[crude plover]

Seems they use steams automatic regional pricing, so unless they switch off of it (there's been no announced plans of doing so) it's on steam.

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

[summer sorrel]

Do we have an idea of the price of the new supporter pack ?

[astral reef]

yes

Woven Templar - $29.99
Woven Vanquisher - $39.99
Woven Legend - $59.99

[ivory dragon]

hi, question about the new Pearls of the Swine amulet. being that there are 3 versions of it, will we be able to use any of the 3 variations to reroll stats using the new rerolling mechanic, or will it only work with using the exact same version?

[ember topaz]

Hello!
Is it possible to get some clarity on what this means from the patch notes?

"Some of the items from large explosions of loot are exchanged for extra gold, and gold drops in multiple piles when a large amount drops at once."

This is directly under the "LOOT AND ENEMY RARITY BALANCE" heading.

Is this always active? When does it exchange items? What items does it exchange? (Is this going to turn a Red Ring drop into 15 gold? 😅)

[placid plinth]

It won't convert a red ring into gold. The chest drop in between echoes is an example.

[placid plinth]

They are different uniques and function as such.

[placid plinth]

Probably not because I don't play much on the public account.

[crude plover]

I don't think I get it. Like if the chest in the echo of a world area were to drop let's say 30 items, it might now drop 15 and the rest gets converted into more gold? Wouldn't that mean that there's a chance that one of the 15 "converted" items could've been something good?

or does it only convert things like white, blue and yellow items?

[opaque falcon]

Is there a way to lengthen the time between sounds the Chronowyrn and Gilded CW make? it seems like it's about every 5-8 seconds they "cry"?

[crude plover]

Please post suggestions on the #1210282176680169562

or are you asking? if so there's currently no way to adjust it

[wooden lynx]

does the "commoners riches" node in the weaver tree enable me to use its effect with for example the sierpin spear that drops from the exiled mage and with a sierpin spear i found locked into the node Ill have a chance of sierpin spears dropping in my echoes randomly without an exiled mage having to be involved?

[crude plover]

None of the imprint nodes work for none "world drop" items

As in they won't drop that exact item, you might still be able to put it in to get "similar" items though (don't remember if you can even put them in)

[wooden lynx]

i saw that they made an improvement to farming exiled mage specific uniques with the addition of a prison complex woven echo that spawns a bunch of them, is that and coming across random exiled mage encounters in maps the only 2 ways to acquire one in CoF or are there other possibilities?

[crude plover]

It only drops from exiled mages, wherever you get them from

[weary spear]

I have skills that when I use in bear cast spells that normally cost mana but in bear form cost rage. Will these skills trigger “Chance On 10 Or More Mana Spent To Cast Lightning At A Nearby Enemy” idols? Like if I swipe in bearform will it works?

[hollow quail]

Not sure if this is the right place but will we have better visibility for the map overlay at some point? In brightly lit areas, it can be difficult to see the borders of the map. Is this on EHG's radar?

[timber sequoia]

Hi, is the vfx of shatter strike supposed to be updated, cause I didn 't see it in the patch note and I really find it a bit weird to be honest, the spell fx doesn't really look "juicy"

[half mason]

I don't see any mentions on dodge roll bug where character dodges twice automatically, always reverting to starting position. It's really big issue while playing HC. Has anything changed in that regard in season 2 or this bug might still happen? Is the exact cause of this behavior known?

[flint bloom]

It was fixed

[half mason]

HUGE W then! Thank you so much for this mostly desired answer ^.^

[uneven token]

Hi. First season the multiplayer felt a bit wonky in the beginning. Have you worked on to make it better this time? I have a feeling a lot of players will take a break from poE2 to check this game out and Id love to be able to play co-op with my friends. 🙂

[flint bloom]

It has been worked on

[orchid aurora]

Hi all, super excited for the upcoming release, I was curious about multiplayer though.

This is my favorite ARPG to play with friends, but one of our challenges was trying to progress the monolith of fate as a group of 3 or 4, as only one member of the party would get any real "meta-progress", it wouldn't effectively transfer over.

I was just curious, have there been any improvements in terms of meta-progress in group play?

Any other enhancements to group play with friends?

[jagged forge]

Why were there no changes to the raptor in the patch notes?

[unborn tulip]

Hey devs, i was wondering if there will be an overhaul for models, appereances animations etc in the future near or far, love the game but the biggest downside for me is the way some things look, like the class models, blank expressions, uncanny lifeless eyes and overall weird modeling not fitting for the character model.
Thanks and love the game 🙂

[candid adder]

That can easily change if enough of us ask for it. Just like how respeccing is going to change in season 2 because if enough people asked for it.

[void prawn]

The wording of the new acid flask support for vial of volatile ice conversion is confusing. Is it based on cold or poison resistance when converted?

[crude plover]

True, but currently they don't plan on adding it. Not saying they won't or shouldn't in the future.

[small gale]

hey, can Manifest Armor gain set bonuses?

[crude plover]

Prob wait for Mike but I'm like 90% sure it's a no

[haughty wedge]

witchfire its not bugged?its normal that i have 20kk dmg in lastepochtools?

[molten tendon]

Countenance of Majasa's Petrify is described as "a stun". Will killing a petrified enemy trigger the stun spreading effect of Somnia?

[placid plinth]

Manifest armor doesn't actually equip the items so they have no set items to get set bonuses from.

[placid plinth]

It's a stun style effect like freeze is. So it's not actually stunned for the purposes of interacting with stun triggers or effects.

[zinc niche]

As an avid gamer of ARPG and MMOs for over 15 years now, I cannot tell you how excited I am for the new patch. The game looks great, everything feels perfect and I am currently arguing with my wife for child duty while I go ham on the new patch.

Much love, Raven. @vocal burrow @placid plinth

[placid plinth]

The damage calculations are not precise. Witchfire is not bugged.

[placid plinth]

Glad to hear, please have a quick look at #rules 10

[placid plinth]

There does still need to be a good reason for it. The mastery respec has a good reason and also the dev time to implement is extremely low by comparison.

[candid adder]

You are right , it would be good for retaining more players to the game , a huge quality of life update . The story in and of itself self is fun leveling through the first time but not the 3rd 4th ,10th time etc . One thing yall could add as more simpler alternative is like an arena , that is wave based and scales with your level . Grim Dawn did this with the crucible . I know this is something that will take a lot more time to implement . this could be one way of doing it .

[last hemlock]

I play this game with my friends msotly. Not only is it our favorite arpg its one of our favorite co-op games 🙂 We were wondering if the new weavers tree bonuses will apply to everyone or if it is only whoever is picking the echoes?

[halcyon radish]

Hi Mike!

For the "Sepulchre of the Lost" Woven Echo, it says "Defeat to claim the echo specific rewards of all surrounding echoes"

What does "surrounding" mean in this context? Other connected echos? Any echo around it like a circle regardless of connections?

[outer lake]

Removing as I've now seen the website has a countdown, ty all!

[fluid axle]

Mike which Woven Echo is your personal favorite?

[little raptor]

Just want to reiterate this question

[vast hill]

What timezone is the new season? I'm in Australia, trying to figure out if it's the Thursday or Friday.

[inner quest]

<t:1744905600:F> (you can also check the official website) [edit: fixed, didn't notice the website I used gave me EST instead of PST for some reason]

[placid plinth]

The time linked is late. It should actually be 3 hours before that. The website is right.

[placid plinth]

I can check on Monday if you remind me but I'm not sure. We've been trying really hard to make associated sub skills to convert with the main skill.

[placid plinth]

I'm a big fan of the boss rush

[little raptor]

Sure, I'll try and remember, thanks!

[placid plinth]

Short range radius

[placid plinth]

There are some seemingly small to medium changes that have had a decent impact overall.

[leaden swallow]

I might have missed where this might have been stated but for said boss rush echo what kinda bosses is it imma assume a collection of random harbinger bosses but thought id ask

[placid plinth]

Your tree applies for yourself. If it gives you a bunch of echoes of a certain type you can do those together though. So some overlap.

[placid plinth]

I'd advise going in blind.

[leaden swallow]

Good thing im not a hardcore player. but will do ty anyways 🫡

[lost cairn]

Will the Devouring Orb that are cast while moving (from the new node) make it instant cast and not interrupt your warpath? Also, will Orbs cast this way be able to echo? (saw this was asked already)

[scenic basin]

I'm glad to see the new set item crafting mechanics being added. but I am wondering: what exactly is the developer's design goal for set items at this point, like, what role do they play in gearing a character? are they supposed to be BiS items for certain builds now?

[placid plinth]

If you take a dozen random builds, I expect to see a healthy mix of items with all sorts of different item name text colors. There aren't that many set items in total so many builds will have no use for them but I expect them to be very competitive options where they make sense.

[lost cairn]

Void Bolts shot from Volatile Reversal say they shoot at up to 3 enemies. Does that mean if there is only 1 enemy that only 1 Void Bolt will be cast?

[bold dirge]

Hi, wondering if brand of deception dng scaling from shock chance has been nerfed or will it be same dmg as in current patch. It was kinda hard to tell from the patch notes... Seems like it's still same dmg?

Fixed a bug where Order’s Imposition’s threshold bonus was granting Brand of Deception either 5% or 6% more damage per 1% global shock chance based on points allocated, despite stating it grants 1% more damage per 1% global shock chance. It now grants Brand of Deception 6% more damage per 1% global shock chance.

[soft otter]

the way i read the patch notes is that it will now correctly give 6% more / 1% shock chance at both 5/6 and 6/6 points in the node while earlier it was giving only 5% more if you put 5 points (so no change if you previously put all 6 points in, buff if you only had 5 points)

[spiral summit]

Mods/devs, can we have a weaver's tree channel please?

[uneven kestrel]

Brewmaster's Buckle affix; 10% of Max Health gained as Endurance Threshold for 4 seconds when you use a potion.
Does this apply to the potions you walk over and "use" as well or no?

[jaunty dune]

Do weaver tree nodes that affect what kind of awards will show up affect what reward options are shown to non-host players playing in multiplayer when the mono is completed?

[pine chasm]

Yes

[ancient plinth]

I looked at the patch notes, and noticed that Sorcerer and Rune Master had updates for their passive trees. Will Spellblade be seeing updates in later patches of season 2?
Spellblades always felt like they lagged behind the other two masteries, so it feels bizarre to see it not receiving an update.

[zenith ginkgo]

no major changes once S2 launches unless its a bug that needs attention so i wouldnt think so

[lime escarp]

Do you guys have any plans for more bladedancer uniques in season 3 especially shadow cascade? i'm very passionate about shadow cascade

Do you have any plans for Shadow cascade ability skins?

[solemn tundra]

On the void knight passive skill tree the node "Temporal Velocity" does the 5 point bonus "Your devourring orb immediately creates a void rift on cast" if the devouring orb is triggered will the void rift go off?

[zenith ginkgo]

yes unless it says when you directly cast X skill it will proc off the trigger in MOST cases

[solemn tundra]

bet you a real one

[burnt schooner]

hi 🙂 with the voltile reversal's new node "Nether Convergence", will that pull in orbiting orbs from dark moon? ty

[viscid bluff]

Does anyone know if Set Item Affixes can be used outside of their specific item pool? Like if I break down a set item "1H sword" and get its affix can I put that affix on a "2H Axe" or "Helmet"?

Or does the Set Item affix have to stay in that specific item pool?

[flat rain]

same item type, helmet shard on helmet and so on.

[willow imp]

"Reforged Set Shards can only be crafted on the same item type as their Set item but can use any base of that type."

[viscid bluff]

ty

[fluid axle]

Are champion affixes something you'd expand on in later seasons by adding more?

[copper basalt]

Quick question for Volatile Reversal skill line, are food for wyrms and time rifts passives apply to abyssal echoes that replace void bolts due to hollow cascade passive?

[final cave]

Quick poll: grole or Bee?

[pine dome]

When a skill (a proper one with a skill tree) is procced by another, nodes from the proccer skill do not affect the procced skill, unless specifically called

So the 2 nodes you mentioned won't affect Abyssal Echoes procced by VR.

[vocal light]

Hi Guys. I noticed on the Orian's Sun Seal, in the tooltip for the "Increased Symbol Gain Rate" it mentions that the base gain rate is 1 every 3 seconds. In the tooltip for the Symbols themselves states it is 2 seconds. Which one is correct?

[steady spindle]

I put the question again, as it was overseen(?)

Will the fixed interaction between Hivemind and Tainted Ammunition (in Ballista), also affect the interaction that Tainted Ammunition buffed bees?
If not, what is your stance on this interaction (as the tooltip doesn't speak about bees)?

[astral reef]

lastepochtools says 1 every 3 seconds so tooltip propably is wrong

[vocal light]

Can't find where it says that. All the info on LEtools says 1 every 2

[steady spindle]

Can you discuss elsewhere please 🙏

[vocal light]

Says "Every 2 seconds, summons a symbol"

[lavish aurora]

Hello, do the extra single target hits from multistrike bladestorm node count as separate hits? Can each of them apply ailments and do they each count as separate hits for holy aura flame burst node? Also what hapens if i convert them into smite via that multistrike node? can they still hit the single target multiple times?

[hoary frigate]

but Bigdoodle is right - now in 1.2 patch it is called Symbols of Hope (not Sigils) and it summons one symbol every 2 sec.

[lavish aurora]

Thank you, that sounds nice.

[wanton mica]

Does Glacier that have been cast by Dominance of the Tundra count as a direct cast?
I assume no, buuuuuut maybe?

[somber marten]

Direct cast always means "You pressed the button"

[mental flame]

So the new gloves, Grasp of the blood mage have this line of text: "250% of Mana Spent Reflected back to you as Damage"
To my understanding there is a difference between a skill "Cost", "Channel Cost" and "Consumed", which of these would count as "Spent"?

[eternal zinc]

My questions:

1. why not use your private account to try? Because it's full of items generated by dev tools?
2. https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/s/zySYvLnlrR Will we can skip dialogue here in the update?
3. do idols which get from 1.1 (includes invalid affixes for 1.2) can be enchanted in tombs or cemeteries?
4. do rune of weaving available from rune rewards from echoes?
5. what favour cache is?

[limber plume]

Regarding Shield Throw and ricochet with minions - is targeting priority enemy so it always goes for enemy 1st? My idea is to have a lot of ricochets with Manifest Armor so I was wandering can we bounce a shield on enemy multiple times on 1 throw? (throw to boss > minion >boss>minion>etc for 1 shield throw)

[crude plover]

Everything thats direct use is spent

So spending mana on triggers doesn't interact with it

[plucky cape]

What corruption level is needed to unlock at least all the new crafting Benches?

[crude plover]

Not much, most are usable at 100 corruption which is baseline empowered and I think all can be used at 200, you can check on Le tools

[slate nimbus]

Is "scissor of atropos"s kismet stacks will be used on shadow daggers proc?

[crude plover]

No

At least the wording implies it needing a none trigger since it says "when you use"

[plucky cape]

Thanks! My noob build is saved! 🤣

[tranquil brook]

what about "divining" an item with the same number of legendary potential being way too expensive

[opaque falcon]

Are the Weaver Idols locked specifically to players that are part of the Weaver Faction?

[somber marten]

Every player is part of the weaver faction. It's an auto join faction like forgotten knights.

[opaque falcon]

Thanks Kzb for the clear-up!

[soft otter]

re: Witchfire damage calculations, are the currently seen numbers for the Warlock Passive Node: 10% more damage per 1% global ignite chance, 20% more damage per 1% global damned chance (Grimhilde's Domain) the correct intended numbers. With both of these global chances relatively easy to scale to 300,400,500,600% these more multipliers would be in the realms of 7500% more and 13410% more (and i dont think i need to say why these numbers sound problematic, those two alone represent a multiplier on damage of 1million x damage leading to 50 million dps for the dot before any increased damage is taken into account)

I feel like more multipliers on hard to scale damage source (like time rot and brand of deception) have way more reasonable numbers of around ~800% more at most, so why is this one so large and in two parts?

[viscid bluff]

Is there some special way to post videos on the Last Epoch reddit if they are youtube links? I tried what FrozenSentinel did and it won't convert the link to video, i tried it as a direct link post and it still won't convert it to a video. Is there some special rule for video conversions on reddit if its a youtube link?

[meager vale]

does this work with sealed affiexes ? (the warlord riches node on wavers tree)

[tawdry pilot]

Any plans to use technology for procedural generation in campgain?

[ashen valley]

Unlike Jelkhor's knife, Ravager's Dart does not specifiy that the skill no longer needs a bow. However, it seems it will lose the bow tag for a throwing one. So will you still require a bow with this unique?

[limber pasture]

throwing skills don't need any weapon

[timid fjord]

the node specifies 'global chance to ignite with fire skills' and 'global chance to inflict damned with necrotic skills'.
both of these are actually very restrictive mods with the warlock tree being only source of global chance to inflict damned with necrotic skills and ignite is only found in warlock tree and soulfire unique relic.
I might be wrong on this though, but usually the wording on these kind of things is very specific for a reason

[pine dome]

99% sure Mike said on stream, they want to keep the campaign mostly hand crafted. But are not opposed to have a few side zones procedurally generated

any chance that with the next league cycle, the faction level will also get copied to legacy?
wanted to play my 1.1 character in legacy but the faction level in legacy is 1 while the character had lvl 10 in league. now i cant use my gear and leveling it back up without gear is kinda out off the question

[soft otter]

faction level merges when you merge stash in legacy

[pine dome]

[soft otter]

[limber pasture]

why are you pinging me with this? I replied to someone else

[stuck spruce]

I know that very few players are interested in this topic, but for me it is very important in a game, and that is the music (maybe because I play music as a hobby myself): I saw that in the early years Rob Benson composed the game's soundtrack, and from ~2020 until now Erik Desiderio. Some of the tracks composed by the latter composer became available with certain editions of the game, and are also available on Spotify. Though, many tracks can't be found that way either, to which I was previously told that you planned to make more and more available as time goes on. That's clear. But what about the earlier tracks? I love Erik's stuff, it's really brilliant. But there are quite a few old tracks that I THINK were composed by Rob, and I can't find them anywhere except for an unofficial YouTube video. Just to name a few: Seafloor Colliseum (Lagon bossfight), Heorot bossfight, Thetima, Crossroads, Lonely Camp, and so on...
Are these tracks not available because Rob composed them? Or will they be available later? Or since Erik is now the official composer of the game, will these songs be replaced with new music composed by Erik over time? These older soundtracks also have a very special feeling, they create a different atmosphere, I love them, and for me they have somehow become one with the game through the years, I wonder what their fate will be.

[timid pier]

Are factions trees something we can expect to see in other factions in the future (e.g. Forgotten Knights) or is it something exclusive to The Woven?

[mellow carbon]

I have a question about the "Flame burst" skill changes.

This new patch makes it scale with the fireball tree, does that also include the node where you trigger flame burst after a certain number of fireball hits? Like would every 3rd flame burst trigger from channeling disintegrate cause another flame burst?

[drowsy shale]

Will the skill and other MTX be shown before the season starts, or do I have to start a character to find out what I am going to farm aberoth with?

[acoustic citrus]

Will arena echoes be able to get loot lizards/nemesis to spawn if you invest in them in the weaver tree?

[tawdry pilot]

some were shown on aaron stream

[zenith isle]

Would you be opposed to removing content creators from the PTR? The game is by no means solved but there are many guides releasing from knowledge from it. I also think it would be healthy as a few content creators don't sleep between LE PTR, D4 PTR, and PoE(1 & 2) releases to maintain their guides and results in poorer quality guides. Also how does even enter the PTR?

[drowsy shale]

Yes, but there was also mentioned "many more", so I want those as well.

[viscid bluff]

Guides come out when the patch notes go live on all the build planner sites. Usually a week in advance. This has always and will always be the case with every ARPG. If you want to avoid guides, I recommend not watching them on YouTube. And just play the game when it launches.

[stable lark]

Are there any plans to make cosmetics visible on character selection?

[lavish aurora]

How does Orb Weaver's fang "stats on this item are doubled for 3 seconds after hitting unique or rare enemy on low health" work with forged weapons?

@daring ridge oooh, cool. Ty

[wooden vault]

this is more of just a statement, but just wanted to give kudos to the devs. Im excited about this update. thank you for all the awesome changes and all the great work! LE is making so much progress, meanwhile the other two arpgs are basically self destructing. keep up the great work yall!

[cyan timber]

What is the approach for new playstyles and fantasys, do you prefer new skills, masteries or full on classes?

[unkempt laurel]

Looking at some new VK stuff. Do Obliteration and Dematerialize on Erasing Strike also affect the Void Beams that Erasing Strike creates?
Dematerialize:
Erasing Strike deals more damage over time
Obliteration:
Erasing Strike deals more damage. This bonus is doubled while wielding two handed weapon.

[timid fjord]

when you trigger the bonus your forged weapons created during the 3sec duration will spawn with the doubled stats and keep them since minions snapsnot bonuses when created. the modifier itself does nothing for the forged weapons since they aren't wielding the item

[lavish aurora]

thanks for the answer

[pine dome]

Should

[unkempt laurel]

mk, thanks. Is that a good rule of thumb? 'Nodes that increase the damage of a base skill will also affect it's subskills?'

[pine dome]

Node that says XXX Deals More Dmg apply to subskills

Unless
It's not applicable (for example ER deals More Hit Dmg, won't work on Beams)

Or it has a condition based on the enemy status > Deals More Dmg to Bleeding enemies for example won't be passed down to subskills

[unkempt laurel]

Ok, cools. Thanks!

[night tusk]

So with the introduction of the shuffle rune we can now get higher teirs of the personal affixes right?

Forging Potential?

Oh, yeah. Rune cost FP, and 0fp means no rune usage.

[fluid axle]

For the Weaver node "Warlord's Riches" where it drops sealed items scaling off the imprinted affix count.... does it take into consideration sealed affixes on the imprinted item?

Is the flame burst proc from the backfire node on disintegrate the same as the flame burst proc on the flame burst node on fireball?

In future yes

[crisp jungle]

Is the new functionality for timerot, doom and abyssal decay to replace existing DoTs (weaker DoT does not overwrite stronger DoT) also applicable to other such ailments like Spreading Flames, Plague, Brands, etc.

[inner quest]

If you have T1 strength on a sentinel helmet and swap that to T1 intelligence, can you upgrade that T1 intelligence to T2 and above at the crafting forge? The patch notes say sealed affixes can't be swapped with Relic of the Observer, but it doesn't say anything about whether or not it's possible to seal an affix after swapping.

[ivory dragon]

Will the Super Arena Echo count towards completing Arena Prophecies?

[desert sleet]

I double checked on the internal build and no, since intelligence can't naturally drop on sentinel helms, it cannot be selected in the forge to upgrade, even if was put there by the Relic of the Observer. I'd be interested to know why you'd want to seal it though, since attribute stackers tend to want high tier exalted attributes, not low tier sealed attributes.

[crude plover]

Tbf attribute stackers would prob swap an exalted attribute

Also just to be clear, if you're playing a class that can have the new attribute on their gear you can craft it like normal yea?

[desert sleet]

Arena prophecies are fulfilled in the arena that is accessed with a key, not arena echoes in the monolith.

[inner quest]

I want sealed intelligence because Divine Essence had +attunement added to it in season 2, and that messes up my int/att attribute balancing for Ucenui's Sphere. I need exactly +3 int somewhere, lol. (Feel free to solve my problem by changing that passive into +all attributes BTW, LOL).

[wooden raven]

With 20 different champion enemies, will there also be 20 champion affixes to find?

[placid plinth]

Yes, each has their own specific affix.

[tawdry pilot]

Plans to add more in the future or it’s one and done?

[crude plover]

You mean set items? If so they've said they plan on adding more

and all of them will have to get their own affixes

[tawdry pilot]

Champion affixes,

[serene mango]

if i remember correctly from last stream there were supposed to be additional patchnotes flying around somewhere, will those be announced or just added to the main notes

[inner quest]

you're looking for the additions and corrections section of the patch notes, here: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/last-epoch-tombs-of-the-erased-patch-notes/75247#additions-corrections-reserved-block-20

[jaunty dune]

okay... if you change strength to int on a sentinel chest, then imprint that item on the "warlord's riches" weaver tree node can you drop a sentinel item with int sealed on it already?

and if it can, would you then be able to turn strength into int again on that item or would int be blocked in that UI? (i don't have any shenanigans in mind tbh just curious how all the interactions work)

[charred mason]

Looking to find the scaling tags on the "Sweeping Attack" from Manifest Armour, can't seem to find anything on it though. Any chance it has an "Area" tag?

[flint bloom]

Either lastepochtools or tunklabs will have the scaling tags for you

[charred mason]

Hmm, it didn't show up on lastepochtools, haven't checked tunklabs though.

[crude plover]

is it from a node or something

by default it seems to just have a basic attack and a fire nova

which it casts on retaliate

[charred mason]

Sorry, on a timer before i can respond. Its from the Shield Throw/Manifest armour interaction. Manifest Inspiration node in the shield throw tree.

[crude plover]

Yeah tunklab doesn't seem to have it either, i'll see if i can find out for you

[charred mason]

Thanks, Much appreciated!

[cursive basin]

when imprinting items through the weavers tree. when you say 'similar tier' does that mean it can go above or below the tier of the original? or only lower?

[hearty stone]

For the upcoming Spiders debuff, when its stacked 4x on a mob. If my ability has 50% crit chance, would this effectively mean my ability has 70% crit chance now? 50 + (5+5+5+5)

[crude plover]

correct

[compact pelican]

How long does it take to make unique items to add them into the game?

i played for like 150+ hours and seen every unique for my class at the time, I kept feeling like I wanted either more extremely high end uniques or just more in general

However this is with one class so im sure theres enough per class, it just felt kinda low is all

[charred mason]

Not sure about the amount of time it takes to make them, but its still early days for LE, once they are into their 3-4 month long season cycles, i'd expect to start seeing a decent chunk of uniques added with each season, similar to other arpgs that follow that model.

[compact pelican]

oh did they confirm the season cycles? i had no idea, i assumed it would be another year or two before a big update
EDITED
Besides the obvious one in a few days

[crude plover]

we're getting a big update in 4 days ^^

[charred mason]

Well, they hinted that it is the plan, whether they are able to execute is the question. I have faith!

Hi Mike, I wanted to ask about Orb Weaver's Fang effect: "Stats on this item is doubled for 3 seconds after hitting a boss or a rare enemy that is a low health"

Is woven echo completion is shared among party members (in the sense that it gives weaver points to everyone for completing)? Would usage of the crafting systems inside also allow other party members other than the host to interact with it (for example does everyone in the party get to have up to 4 idol reweaves)?

Is the tax paid while buying an item in Bazaar included in the price of an item listed, or can we see 2 separate numbers when pricecheking items (both the tax and the initial price put by the seller)?
Being able to see 2 separate numbers would be important to properly pricecheck an item when you want to list smth yourself (without going for calculator)

[pearl pier]

So in the patch notes there is a base loot reduction for regular enemies. Afterwards there seems to be an increase to the scaled loot modifiers for magic and rare monsters, which seems to be scaled off the base amount. Does this mean that there will be a smaller impact of the increased scale to magic and rare monsters then the notes imply?

Specifically referring to the lines:
"Magic and rare enemies are tougher and drop more items, but regular enemies drop items less often."

"Magic Enemy Changes
Drop 205% more items than regular enemies (from 150%)."

"Rare Enemy Changes
Drop 520% more items than regular enemies (from 400%)."

Mark of Rot in the anomaly skill tree got nerfed from 100% to 50% but its not in the patch notes? Did some stuff get missed in the patch notes do you think?

[fair haven]

Quick question about the Name in Lights—will the announcements stop entirely once the first 100 players hit level 100, or will it still announce level 100 deaths after that? I really like the sense of community that comes from seeing familiar names pop up when someone dies.

[placid plinth]

Doesn't interact

[placid plinth]

Yes

[placid plinth]

Death announcements should keep going I think.

[placid plinth]

Yes

[placid plinth]

1 number

[wintry nest]

But at the same time while listing we're putting a price which does not include tax and the tax will be applied after. Does not that mean that we would need to have calculator going to properly price the items (doing -15% on items we're currently pricechecking to put our own listing at the respective price)?

[inner quest]

Volatile Reversal says "you can recast within 3 seconds to jump backwards in time", and the patch notes say "The skill has [...] a 6 second cooldown which continues recovering while the recast is available."
My question is: what happens if the cooldown is shorter than the 3 second recast window?
IE: if you somehow got VR down to a 2 second cooldown, does the ability to recast (and jump backwards in time, instead of forward) disappear after 2 seconds, or 3?

[rare portal]

Cocooned items feel a little weird, being the first items we have to effectively identify from inventory. Is there a technical reason we ended up with them or is it just a thematic thing?

[main merlin]

Countenance of Majasa new shield:

any plans to nerf this shield before actual launch?
Block was already super strong before 1.2, but at least it had certain weakness, that it wasn't that effective vs DoT damage. Now with this shield, literally every hardcore character will be going block, and with for example 4000 Block effectiveness which is very easy to obtain, this shield grants 42% DoT mitigation basically for free.

on top of that, it has effective level of legendary potential of 40, so it won't be uncommon to see plenty of 3 LP shields.

So TLDR, 90% of hardcore playerbase will be some form of block sentinel using this shield, and it will heavily limit build diversity. So in my opinion prenerfing this shield before 1.2 would be a good move.

[maiden brook]

Can we get more info on ancestral sabertooths? For example are they gonna scale with other more damage nodes on the sabertooth tree or from aspects that typically just affect companions? Or is it minion of a minion scaling similar to baby scorpions

Seems like a basic question, but couldn't find out the answer on forum/google/youtube/LEtools -- Do armor shred stacks have individual durations, or does applying a new stack refresh all current stacks? Seems like most ailments have individual stack timers in this game, but I wasn't sure if that applies to non-damaging ailments as well.

[fluid axle]

Do the lightning bolts in smite get converted to void if smite is converted to void?

[pure crest]

i remember in the past (even before going to steam) that in the future you may do a new class if an archetype isnt filled, also 3 masteries wherent the ''end'' that will may be more in the future, this statements still real? or we just gonna have 3 masteries for 5 classes forever?

[pine chasm]

Each has an individual duration, very few effects can refresh ailment stacks and specifically say so if they do

[eternal zinc]

My questions:

1. why not use your private account to try? Because it's full of items generated by dev tools?
2. https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/s/zySYvLnlrR Will we can skip dialogue here in the update?
3. do idols which get from 1.1 (includes invalid affixes for 1.2) can be enchanted in tombs or cemeteries?
   4. do rune of weaving available from rune rewards from echoes?
4. what favour cache is?

[steady spindle]

Mike, I wonder, is there any RNG for resonance drops? My experience says rather not, but I'd like to know if possible

[wanton mica]

Since Heartseeker requires a bow, does Ravager's Dart only work when you have a bow equipped?

[pine chasm]

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

[amber hill]

Is the new functionality for timerot, doom and abyssal decay to replace existing DoTs (weaker DoT does not overwrite stronger DoT) also applicable to other such ailments like Spreading Flames, Plague, Brands, etc.
This is pretty big for things like Aergon's greater fireball(Spreading Flames) and Brand of Deception (which people are excited for).

[empty obsidian]

Will we get an earlier opportunity to download the patch?

[fleet galleon]

no.

[empty obsidian]

not even one or two hours before the launch?

[somber marten]

No, because true offline exists.

[desert sleet]

Just tested on the internal build w/ no bow equipped and Ravager's Dart still uses Heartseeker

[amber hill]

Ravager's dart is not class specific so this should mean any class can do Heartseeker now?

Smite proc Heartseeker time! or just use it on any Sentinel for free fire/phys res shred with shield breaker node.

[pine dome]

Can those Void Beams benefit from any a skill tree ?

[river flume]

Hi, I have questions about Weaver tree node.
1 Does Boss Woven Echoes (it on Call of the firstborn node) means the echoes only having boss icon?
(Not including ones such as the Gauntlet of strife, that encounters 7 bosses?)

2 Does Boss Objective Echoes (it on Twinned tyrants node) include these Woven echoes?
Or Is that limited to Quest Echo's bosses of each timeline?

[pearl nexus]

something that is not quite it, but makes it easier to do it without pulling out a calculator is that
when you are listing an item, before you put it for sale, the UI shows you both what you would get and what it would be listed for

[feral halo]

can we make aura of decay scalable

[fluid axle]

This is confirmed?

[limber plume]

Regarding Shield Throw and ricochet with minions - is targeting priority enemy so it always goes for enemy 1st? My idea is to have a lot of ricochets with Manifest Armor so I was wandering can we bounce a shield on enemy multiple times on 1 throw? (throw to boss > minion >boss>minion>etc for 1 shield throw)

[foggy pagoda]

Have there been any changes made to how multiplayer works in end game? My friend and I stopped playing when it became clear that it was not working, you don't share rewards for islands.

[leaden swallow]

EHG member earlier confirmed for the new woven echoes you will each get individual rewards from as for the regular progress idk if its shared yet

[foggy pagoda]

Thank you!

[bright venture]

Will it be possible to upgrade purchased Support Packs in 1.2?
Meaning can I buy the Woven Vanquisher Pack now and upgrade it to Woven Legend with the reduced price later?

[frail sentinel]

Yes!! Thank you! Now to put Mike on the Birth Certificate!

[plucky cape]

will the new champion enemies become an objective for prophecies? like kill x champion enemies?

[cosmic wraith]

yes

hi EHG
wondering how woven echoes work in multiplayer ?
is it like normal echoes and your friend get random rewards ?

[mighty totem]

Hello, in the patch note and video you said that to weave an Echo you need to do so at the end of a Cemetary zone right ? How often do you reckon we'll encounter them in the monolith ? (if they are indeed a natural occurence). I'm a bit confused about this sorry

[vast hill]

Hey devs, Will legacy have access day 1 to all the content?

[pine dome]

Yes

[atomic socket]

I’m new to game and looking at the new supporter packs coming, if I buy the highest tier one (eternal legend) do I get everything from the lower tiers ones as well? Or just from the eternal.

[cosmic wraith]

yes

[cosmic wraith]

you get everything + 300 echo point to use in the shop
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJY11GCAEyw

[astral reef]

Is uber abby available in legacy from start?

[pine dome]

It was said yes

[tawdry pilot]

Why The Inevitable are on worn Boots Base. It’s base given on level 1 and have horrible stats. Is it on purpouse or oversight

[uneven kestrel]

Is Grim Tide in Chthonic Fissure fixed to work with Spine of Malatros in the new patch?

[somber marten]

What’s the relation here? Grim tide boosts necrotic damage.

[thick idol]

supporter packs go up to 59.99 right? is there gonna be higher priced ones in the future? i dont mind the price just interested if there will be more :)?

[paper palm]

Can you cast some timey-wimey stuff, like in game, on real life so it's Thursday already?

[tropic basalt]

100% Increased Chance per rank to find Events that are not Monolith Prophecies
Is the phrasing for the new lens on letools correct? According to the patch notes I'd think it would be "reduced chance"?

[flint bloom]

no one can tell the future and how the pricing will be later. but currently the highest is 60$ yes

[paper palm]

On a serious note. Haven't found anything about it, but will it be easier to campaign skip and not miss stuff like the +1 all stats after campaign?

[timid fjord]

they added quests to dungeons that give idol slots and skill points if you arent at your maximum, so you need to do less/none backtracking when you use them to skip campaign on alts

[paper palm]

Ah, awesome! But we still need to kill majula for the stát points then i assume. Thanks for the answer!

[pearl nexus]

yes, but her name is Majasa, Majula is the hub of Dark Souls 2

[paper palm]

Oh, close enough I guess 👀

[tropic basalt]

Did any new thoughts happen regarding loot filter syncing to steam deck? Currently it's rather tedious and it's been mentioned as something on the radar last year already.

[viscid mirage]

Just trying to understand how the system works - so on the new Weaver tree if we put a random ring in the Echoing Riches slot does that increase ring drops all around if we were targeting the red ring unique? Or would I have to put a red ring unique in the slot to improve my chances of farming another? (so freaking excited for Thursday - just planning my first alt :D)

[summer sorrel]

It will help find more item like the one slotted. For unique you need to place the unique itself and for bases you can put rare or exalted. ( To my understanding the stats themselves don't matter only the base)

[viscid mirage]

okay cool that makes sense thanks!

[hazy widget]

hey devs, will the new supporter packs be available for purchase through steam, and will they be subject to regional pricing

[hearty pine]

With WASD movement, can we put skills on left click?

[viscid mirage]

all the other ones were, so I am sure they will be this time

[flint bloom]

yes, yes

[lapis sage]

They ever confirm if the new unique amulet chosen effect can target procced ring of shields or claw totems instead of your manifest armor or solo companion so to make sure not to get those or not

[pine dome]

The amulet says "a random minion"

So it can be a shield from RoS, a claw Totem, a vine etc since they all are minions

[lapis sage]

Yeah i guess i just got a lil used to not trusting things words as written in the game. Was wondering if it was confirmed or not from a CT tester or somethin in all

[pearl nexus]

yes, but you can't have any more skills, you re-use already placed skills

[hearty pine]

I mean I just want to know if I can put it on left click.
It would free up some button economy so I can still use skills comfortably with WASD.
Don't want to play DDR with my fingers.
Would, for example, be useful to put a movement skill on left click or something.

[cursive basin]

Does the shield throw node spiked plates multiply with rygars fury? Or does selecting rygars fury invalidate it?

[placid plinth]

Not sure where you're looking them up but if you can see the alt text, we often try to clarify things like this.

[placid plinth]

Yea, you can do it on live right now too. Just click the smaller walk icon on your left click to assign it to some other options like one of your abilities.

[placid plinth]

yes

[placid plinth]

the individual affixes matter a great deal. It will frequently give you most or all of the affixes on the imprinted item.

[placid plinth]

I'm pretty sure it does already sync to steamdeck.

[worldly marten]

just noticed LE using 8GB of ram pls send help

[tropic basalt]

Oh that is awesome. Thanks.

[hearty pine]

That just lets me choose move only, move and destroy, or move and attack
EDIT: Oh I see, if I press move and attack I can select a different button to pull a skill from.

[placid plinth]

It's pulling the internal wording of the item that has its tooltip overwritten when it is in position so it sounds a little weird.

[placid plinth]

pick the 3rd option, it re-expands the menu again

[gentle thorn]

In season 2, reentering an echo previously entered gradually diminishes events and loot.
Does that also include XP and favor?

[placid plinth]

help is available on our support site

!support

[fiery lily]

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

[placid plinth]

yes

[unkempt nacelle]

what is the best place to raise issues with the patch notes? e.g. they mention a fix to phantom grip in the Forged Weapon section, but the fix itself is not noted under bug fixes

[jaunty dune]

okay... if you change strength to int on a sentinel chest, then imprint that item on the "warlord's riches" weaver tree node can you drop a sentinel item with int sealed on it already?

and if it can, would you then be able to turn strength into int again on that item or would int be blocked in that UI? (i don't have any shenanigans in mind tbh just curious how all the interactions work)

[placid plinth]

#1210281911872786482

[placid plinth]

does the UI ever block an attribute conversion?

[hearty pine]

Is there a way to set it so it uses the skill without moving?

[onyx hawk]

If we swap an attribute via the weaver, can it be slammed onto a unique that could normally not have that attribute due to its original item base?

[jaunty dune]

Do weaver tree nodes that affect what kind of awards will show up affect what reward options are shown to non-host players playing in multiplayer when the mono is completed?

For example if i have xp tomes blocked and I'm playing on a friend's timeline in co-op will i ever be offered xp tomes as a mono reward in the ui that pops up on completion?

[timid willow]

Mike do you know how mana guide + focus will interact with Arcane Ascendance? Will it root you in place and still channel focus or will it stop focus?

[placid plinth]

it doesn't remember what was there at all, the current version is what it is. It has no memory. You can use it like normal.

[ember harness]

With the new Meteor Champion's affix, can we convert multiple times? i.e Bleed chance -> ignite -> electrify with Smite's Order of Lagon node

[placid plinth]

without moving all together in every situation? no

[jaunty dune]

I don't know... Does it?

[placid plinth]

no

[hearty pine]

But if you're in a position to cast the skill at the target I guess it doesn't move?

[placid plinth]

that should work yea

[placid plinth]

that's right, you can also hold shift to force yourself to stay in place

[placid plinth]

you can't chain conversions

[placid plinth]

locked in place

[hearty pine]

What about if I'm using WASD under the new experimental system? Seems difficult to hold shift in that scenario.. Actually no I have a free pinky finger. But still it'd be more convenient if I could set it so it wouldn't move at all.

[onyx hawk]

Will we ever get an option to skip a quest dialog segment that isn't a mouse click? 😄

[timid willow]

Awesome that is what I was hoping. Good to know for the lightning meteor auto-bomber I am going to test! 🙂

[placid plinth]

Maybe, drop it in #1210282176680169562

[placid plinth]

maybe, drop it in #1210282176680169562

[steady spindle]

Hey Mike, quick question on the fixed interaction between Tainted Ammunition in Ballista and Hive Mind helm. Does this also fix that bees get the effect from Tainted Ammunition?

[serene mango]

with all the balance changes in mind, would an average build with average amount of buffs be able to do all the new content on the same corruption lvl as before

[placid plinth]

part of how items are balanced is on their base types. it has a ton of power in the item itself.

[tawdry pilot]

ok ok, ; >

[spiral mason]

I might be tattling on my own build idea, but for clarification:
For Smite does Desperate Measures allow Lightning Bolt even when out of mana? It's not directly specified it doesn't.

[placid plinth]

Without testing it, I'm not sure, I would assume so.

[placid plinth]

probably in a similar range, going to be a case by case basis, on average the floor is probably raised a bit

[placid plinth]

it won't trigger any of the extra stuff, it just doesn't say

[mild monolith]

Mike what are you most excited about for Thursday

[plucky cape]

As more uniques come every season, target farming build enabling uniques might become harder and harder. Is anything planned in the future to counteract this?

[placid plinth]

getting to play the patch on the live servers

[placid plinth]

other than the imprinting target farming method that we are adding in Season 2?

[mild ice]

hey Mike , i am just wondering if you guys plan to expand servers to other parts of the world , i am from South Africa and connection issues happen very often where i just get kicked due to insanely high ping

[spiral mason]

I actually have a question on that, how drastic were the changes when it came to hunting for high LP equipment? Was it extremely noticeable or does it just smooth out the grind?

[mild monolith]

Hopefully they hold up 🫂

[plucky cape]

That requires you to already have a copy of the item if i'm not mistaken?

[steady spindle]

Sad because it was a strong part of the Rouge Bees. Happy, because it was clearly a bug, as the text never mentioned bees, and now the temptation to abuse it is gone 🙂

Do you think bee lovers can expect a little more support for this absolutely cute and funny playstyle in the future, as there are not too many scaling options yet?
Let's say as a ... "compensation" 😄

[fast spade]

Does Ravaging Aura sub-skill of Void Cleave inherit the vitality/strength scaling of Void Cleave? Wasn't sure if that's just a tooltip omission.

[placid plinth]

Ideally we would have consistent global coverage for everyone. Unfortunately we don't have the resources at the moment to set up servers in some regions. Even just different parts of the states can be very different in costs. I don't have any details on potential new regions at the moment.

[mild ice]

glad to know you guys are very responsive , let's hope for a smooth launch ❤️

[placid plinth]

WellYesButActuallyNo.meme

Technically no because technically nothing inherits attribute scaling of anything.

Ravaging Aura is a sub-skill of Void Cleave and inherits all stats as normal. This includes increased damage stats which Void Cleave gets from vit/str. So functionally yes, technically no.

[onyx hawk]

The patch notes don't mention a gold breakpoint for mastery respecs at level 80. Does this mean every respec between levels 70 and 89 is going to cost 100k?

[placid plinth]

it's a smooth scale, those are just points on the line we called out because it's easy to read that way.

[plucky cape]

Also, how much variety is there in the new champion enemies? ^-^ I overheard some prophecies might require you to kill some too now?

[placid plinth]

maybe, drop it in #1210282176680169562

[cosmic wraith]

hi EHG
wondering how woven echoes work in multiplayer ?
is it like normal echoes and your friend get random rewards ?

[placid plinth]

There aren't massive increases to LP availabilities. All the new tools together smooth out the process. The biggest thing by far is the auto-hit on slam 1 affix.

[placid plinth]

the main rewards I would say are the specific things you get at the end which everyone shares.

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure what you mean, there are 20 of them. Check out the trailer for an example of what sort of stats and modifiers they get. They also get a couple new moves each.

[timid fjord]

When you take node that converts all dodge rating to armour will it be affected by % increased dodge or % increased armour?

[plucky cape]

cool! I mean, in COF will there be a quest like : kill x champion enemies

[crystal sluice]

How will we earn Skillpoints in the Woven Tree?

[timid fjord]

completing certain woven echoes and collecting/spending memory amber which levels up the weaver faction tree

[cosmic wraith]

thanks mike 🙂

[placid plinth]

increased dodge

[placid plinth]

the first time you complete each type of woven echo (other than uber abby), you get a point for the weaver tree. Rest come from rank rewards.

[spiral mason]

Mike now that Silksong is finally confirmed to not be a fever dream, when do we get Hornet as a new playable for the Weaver season

[foggy zephyr]

Sorry if it's been asked before, is the lower level requirement for specialization unlocks in this patch?

[flint bloom]

its not level locked...its story progression locked. and 20 points in the base class passive tree

[somber marten]

Mastery is currently tied to a main quest, and in general unlocks around the same time you have 20-22 passive points.

[foggy zephyr]

I mean the unlocks for the skill trees, the ones that currently unlock at 4, 8, 20, 35, 50

[plucky cape]

Last one for me for the day, but is there an eye kept on possibly increasing the base drop rate of build enabling uniques in the future? per example naals tooth?

[somber marten]

It's been pushed down to the current numbers a while back, and I don't think they announced any changes to it.

[placid plinth]

no

[placid plinth]

yes but to be clear, there is also an eye kept on possibly decreasing the base drop rate of build enabling uniques in the future. We adjust the drop rates of different items, up and down, frequently.

[hearty pine]

For the cosmetic you get for buying a sub, does it work with anyone who is streaming the game?

[charred mason]

Good morning, is there any way we could get the tags for the "Sweeping Attack" skill that Manifest Armour uses when hit by shield throw? Doesn't seem to show up on LETools.

[placid plinth]

it is rive's 3rd attack

[charred mason]

Awesome, thanks so much!

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure if they need to have something set up to make it work or not. As far as I know we don't have any list of approved streamers or anything like that.

[eternal zinc]

repeat them again

[silk ibex]

Hey Mike could you clarify some smite sub skill damage questions?
1.Does void beam triggered from the vk passive renouncement scale with smite?
2. Would it scale from the tree of other skills that trigger void beams like erasing strike?
3. Do you know if the added damage from devotion amulet would transfer to sub skills (void beams or fissure)

[fast spade]

Funny we asked the same question simultaneously lol
Though I can already answer 2. No, as those nodes specify Erasing Strike Beams and 3. Yes

[obtuse rapids]

how will the update release coincide with the season launch? will the update be downloadable at the same time as the launch, or will it become avalable few hours before?

[timid willow]

pretty sure they said no preload

[lone belfry]

is the hammer skin in the supporter pack usable if im a forge guard using the node for 2h mace in one hand?

[silk ibex]

Per number 2, if void beam is actually an erasing strike sub skill it should benefit from generic more damage or generic more dot damage in that tree though right? Yeah funny same question at the same time

[fast spade]

Yes, Renouncement Beam is a subskill of Smite and benefits from that skill's multipliers. Erasing Strike's void beams is another and benefits from that one's. I'm just trying to figure out if Renouncement Smite's Void Beam has +1, +2 or +3 damage scaling per vitality.

[lean kindle]

Hello, what is the limit for Demise buff on Symbol of Demise? LE Build Planner fix a limit to 100 but idk if this limit is the same in game

[foggy zephyr]

Ah okay, thanks for answering 🙂

[fast spade]

Please don't ping poor Mike

[pine dome]

There is no limit to the number of Stacks. However Bleed Chance caps. Bleed Duration doesn't

[hollow ether]

Hey there! o/ I'm looking at the "Grace" node in Smite's skill tree, which reads "Smite heals allies for more health", with the actual stat line reading "Smite healing: +200%" (at max points).

I'm wondering if the increased healing from that node is additive or multiplicative with "increased healing effectiveness" modifiers / if it's internally an "increased healing effectiveness" modifier that's worded differently, or if it increases the base healing of Smite before increased healing effectiveness modifiers are applied.

Thanks in advance <3

[pine chasm]

I haven't seen any confirmation that Renouncement's void beam truly is a subskill of smite. If it is not a subskill, it gets what's listed on its tooltip (4% inc/str & +2 void/vit). If it is a smite subskill, it does not calculate its own attribute scaling at all, so it gets whatever stats smite has (modifiers from skill tree and either 4% inc/att or +1 void/vit depending on your points in Renouncement).

[jaunty dune]

does wearing a 2 handed weapon + a shield count as dual wielding for effects that require dual wielding? (such as new idol enchantment affix) Or does that require 2 different weapons?

[fast spade]

I'd like a confirmation which is it

[crude plover]

I don't see how that's any different from using a 1h with a shield when it comes to that

[frail sentinel]

In this channel replies are fine, just don't @ Mike 😊

[supple adder]

Necro minion builds have a lot of focus on superbuffing 1 minion, because of dread shade. Any plans to add more support to make the classic minion army/zoomancer more viable (into mid-high corruption)? The fantasy is not being fulfilled by very many ARPGs these days, and you guys have the fantasy down, I love it, it's just not very scaleable into endgame so we usually end up playing roidmage, abom, or wraithlord.

[merry cairn]

Will the new season mechanic be available off rip in the campaign during the leveling process?

[mellow python]

Hi, just thinking about what loot filter using for 1.2 is so annoying Loot Filter in LE is so badly designed if we could have some loot filter like Poe filterblade a thing basic that work for everything where we don't have to ON/OFF so many buttom would be such a huge time gain.

[fluid axle]

Do lightning bolts in smite's skill tree locked behind the electrify node get converted to void if smite is converted to void?

[full dagger]

I think it will be more possible next season just with the 50% DR minions will get from boss AoEs alone, plus you get idols with minion res too

[clear marlin]

Hey quick question here do you already add the new patch note for the new graphics that you talked in the last podcast?

[pulsar heath]

My only problem with LE is I dont see any real change in how I would play minions in this new cycle. The only change I can hope for is a single relevant unique but I doubt it. Hope there will be more creative changes about minions in the future

[flint bloom]

thats wonderful #1210281911872786482

[ancient forge]

Is the map overlay not working in arena echos a bug or a feature?
Played 1500h since 0.83 and always wondered this lol.

[flint bloom]

now that the set rework is official and coming in s2...i know that opens up chances for new sets to come out. but will they follow the 2-3 piece per set 'rule'? or could we see some bigger sets come out?

[pine chasm]

Champions start spawning in level 6+ areas. All the Weaver/Woven stuff starts as soon as you get into the monolith.

[pine chasm]

That is a bug that's listed as fixed in the S2 patch notes.

[merry cairn]

That's sort of disappointing... Campaign is just monotonous over and over each season...

[placid plinth]

With the new style of set items, there is a lot more room for larger sets to exist. I don't think we will see 6+ set bonuses but I could see a set with like 6 pieces and a 3 piece set bonus so you could build the set bonus without using the whole set maybe. We don't have anything like that in development but just using it as an example of the increased flexibility in the system itself.

[fast spade]

Hi EHG, does Void Beam from from the the new passive skill Renouncement essentially double dip on the Smite vitality scaling? (Get +2 damage per vitality scaling inherently, and +1 damage per vitality scaling from Renouncement)? I'm just trying to figure out if Renouncement Smite's Void Beam has +1(Renouncement only?), +2(tooltip?) or +3(both) damage scaling per vitality.

[soft otter]

did the new runes, (Weaving, Havoc, Redemption) get any support in the CoF prophecies as rewards similar to Creation/Ascendance?

[ancient forge]

sweet.
missed that part of the patch notes o_O

[pine chasm]

Rune of weaving got a specific prophecy and all three types can drop from the generic rune reward prophecies.

[eternal zinc]

🤔 I wonder do Mike don't want to spoil many details in s2 so he don't answer my questions

Oh thanks Toast's answer. One of them is solved

[fluid axle]

will Keen Outlook work with Siege Barrage in s2?

[pine dome]

3. It does it now in the current patch

[little raptor]

Hey Mike, does the new Divine Flare in Symbols of Hope convert to void if you convert Symbols to grant void damage?
