Since they are not companions, those effects would not apply to them. Anything that affects "minions" would though.

[dry canyon]

Does world splitter axe (+area, crit, multi per 1 mana)
apply to warpath using warriors fury (more mana cost per second)
or does it snapshot to the first 1 mana cost of starting the channel instead of being dynamic?

[desert sleet]

World Splitter scales on "Mana Cost" which is the upfront cost to start a cast. Warrior's Fury's adds "mana cost per second" also referred to as "Channel Cost" by the tooltip's cost preview. So no, Warrior's Fury does not scale World Splitter.
(screenshot is Warpath with 5 points in Warrior's Fury)

[dry canyon]

ah rip, thanks for letting me know!

[steady nebula]

Regarding the Anurok, If I take the "Limited to one Companion" do I still get to summon more Anuroks with the helm?

[frozen zenith]

Hello may I ask if the Anurok from new helm is counted as companions?

[cosmic crag]

you guys should kiss

[red urchin]

for Shadow Daggers to get maximum value from Truesight Glass, would you need only 40% crit chance because Shadow Daggers always crits already?

[median osprey]

When purchasing an item from the Hunt Master NPC, does that item remain in his inventory window for multiple purchases? Example, purchasing several Uniques in one visit for LP hunting.

[frozen zenith]

We actually argues about this on steam chat then we decided to ask the devs to know

[cosmic crag]

it's a generic question, but it's very confusing for me because of this. what is the general rule for stat scaling inheritance?

(data taken from letools)
Summon skeleton scales with int,
skeleton rogues scales with none,
shurikens cast by rogues scales with dex.

my general intuition is that everything scales with int once, and maybe shurikens scales with (int+dex) as oppsed to just dex
Is letool's tooltip inaccurate?

Thanks for your hard work!

[desert sleet]

That node sets your max companions to 1 so you will summon 1 Anurok.

@fluid axle realizing now which node you were referring to

[desert sleet]

They are not companions (mentioned in the alt text)
#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[desert sleet]

Yes, you can keep purchasing the same item for as long as you have materials to afford it.

[steady nebula]

cool. Guess that's off the table then. Thanks for the quick reply.

[desert sleet]

Generally, subskills don't have scaling tags, they inherit the scaling of the skill that causes them.

the skeleton rogues node doesn't show a tooltip in game for the shurikens. I'd assume anything they do would similarly inherit the int scaling of Summon Skeletons.
#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[wraith swift]

Any chance we can get the base stats for the Anuroks/Tyrannosaur? (Base dmg/Added eff/Roar CD etc)
Trying to see if we want to use them as support minions only or if they are beefy enough to centre the entire build around, Thx!

[eternal zinc]

I suppose 1.3 is much more fun than 1.2 through the data of 1.2 trailer and overview video on youtube is better than 1.3 a lot. The 1.2 contents are more for building a new basic frame of gameplay (no much impression on new uniques in 1.2 because the best one is exclusive drop for uberroth or melee builds).

The amount of new unique items which let me hyped is much more and 1.3 just cooked 4 months. (It's the most in history. 1.3 is more than 1.1 on this area, I bet)

[desert sleet]

Seems like it. Was able to get the Shadow Daggers to deadly strike with only 40% crit on my character.

[cosmic current]

Big overleech fan here. Noticed the main source (health drain) got bugfixed out.
I'm wondering if the new Lich passive node, Corrupted Form (prevents you from having current health or ward above 50% of your maximum health) works like Petrified Blood in PoE, where you get overleech since your life never recovers to 100%. Does it work like that, or do leech effects get altered to be removed at 50% health?

[desert sleet]

I'm not sure if I can provide that (or where to even look to find it). I see that LETools has a minions page with stats for other item granted minions, such as bees, so maybe once they have datamined the 1.3 build that info might be added there.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/minions/

[desert sleet]

Yes, it works like Petrified Blood, so it effectively gives you overleech, since leech is removed at 100% by default or 66% with another passive.

[eternal zinc]

do the wheel panel for controller still in 1.3 or it's changed?

[desert sleet]

Yup! Controller wheel is still a feature and we made a lot of various improvements to controller support.

[eternal zinc]

Can you show which changes on controller wheel by screenshots?

[void solar]

some details here https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/last-epoch-beneath-ancient-skies-patch-notes/78635/7#controller-4 also some changes related to minions with controllers towards the bottom here https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/last-epoch-beneath-ancient-skies-patch-notes/78635/3#minions-7

[eternal zinc]

Both the Passive Tree and Skill Tree menus can now be navigated with either the directional pad or the left analog stick.

No sure what it mean without pictures because they're available in wheel panels only before 1.3.

[void solar]

I believe it's saying you can use either to navigate those screens

as in move around the passive tree

[desert sleet]

That refers to navigating the nodes of the tree. Previously it inconsistently used dpad for one tree and left stick for another. Now, you can use either dpad or left stick for any tree.

[eternal zinc]

... Alright so it's not relevant to wheel panel's update. I still can use wheel panel to access them only

[void solar]

I don't believe there was anything mentioned about the controller menu wheel itself being updated. Agent indicated it's still a feature and that there has also been various controller improvements added. Which are listed in the patch notes.

[fluid axle]

Do the 7 new champion enemies come with 7 new champion affixes? Patch notes were unclear

[desert sleet]

By default yes, but you could rebind it to a button in the input settings if you wanted.

[desert sleet]

I don't think so.

[verbal pine]

for chaos ripper when it says release does it count as a cast and benefit from the tree?

[desert sleet]

No, it is not a cast, but it still is a chaos bolt so it can benefit from some parts of the tree.

Some specific interactions:
#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message
#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[eternal zinc]

Just try again, yes as you said. Disable player movement to free left stick is a great improvement.

But features which can be accessed by 3 buttons are still... High chances to be fail to act
(Share+r2+right stick)

[subtle kindle]

does scornful blood remove all healing from leech?
As it says instead of healing you, but also says drains. The wording is confusing.

[mellow tangle]

are wildfire wisps from wildfire embers (primordial amulet) considered allies, in particular for aergons mirror bolt (runemaster invo) to bounce back and forth between wisps and, say, a boss?

[eternal zinc]

A funny fact I just discovered is touchpad don't count as a key in le so I can't bind it with any actions

[jaunty obsidian]

If Bear uses the player's Swipe tree, what happens if you take the Primal Resonance node? Would the bear trigger it's own ability or would it target another companion?

[desert sleet]

Primal Resonance specifies "When you use Swipe" so I don't think it would happen on your bear's casts of swipe.

[desert sleet]

Leech no longer heals with that node. I think the "drain" word is flavor. It basically becomes a DoT aura.

[somber marten]

If Flay is converted to only cast blood eruption, does nodes that let flay recast a spectral version, recast blood eruption? Or does the node just not work?

[cosmic crag]

please clarify the tooltip before release, because as you mentioned, so many people will misinterpret this as something similar to life drain. the whole aco discussion thought this way at least

[desert sleet]

It doesn't seem to bounce between them. They also don't have health bars FWIW.

[desert sleet]

Yes, it can still cast the blood eruption as a spectral copy.

[keen wyvern]

Fangs of the berserker increases the effect of frenzy, im curious does this also increase the effects while having frenzy? (all the mods listed in the item) For example one of the mods increases damage taken, does this scale with effect of frenzy as well? meaning we can take even more damage taken than 9%-12%?

[lone sonnet]

Please we need a LE Toucan zombie/undead cosmetic as a necromancer i cant be seen roaming around etera with a live toucan the other necromancers will mock me!!!

[valid oyster]

You'll be fine (there is the illusion of "mortality" therefore the toucan is a lich pretending to be a mortal bird.)

[undone fable]

what kind of dmg type is reflect dmg when done back to the monster from the player? is it phy or true dmg since its not clearly indicated?

[cursive basin]

how long does 'ancestral pack' buff from the new primordial catalyst last? what is the max stack?

[fervent scroll]

Will the last line of army of skin work for melee minions? "More melee damage to high health enemies".

[night tusk]

would warpath work with butchers crown or because its a channeling skill it would only be able to hit once

[little raptor]

does shadow daggers actually guarantee a crit or does it just have 100% base crit chance? ie, if I put on gambler's fallacy, will the shadow daggers continue to always crit, or will they only have a 50% crit chance

[feral mulch]

Will there be more primal uniques in the future? They are all really exciting but there isnt one that is directly tailored towards necromancer minions (like beastmaster has two options directly increasing companion limit by a lot)

[steady nebula]

Hey folks regarding the primordial Exalted item (t8) is the only way to get them via the rune or can it drop naturally?

[grim geyser]

does Thornshell work with Thicket of Blinding Light?

[pearl canyon]

It should, they're both scaling thorns. (Currently looking at it myself) XD

That does bring up another question though.

Do things like totems never count as looking at you, or do they count as always looking?
How is this determined

[grim geyser]

also what type of damage does it do, is it a hit, can it crit, is it a DoT, can I scale it in any way other than just more reflect?

[crude plover]

It does reflect damage afaik, no type. Can't crit

It's basically true damage. Penetrates all defenses

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

[grim geyser]

so no scaling other than more "damage reflected to attackers"?

[crude plover]

If it's reflect then yeah afaik

[pearl canyon]

Thornshell's about to see a bit more play. 👀

Totally an important question.
With the addition to sound effects on the filter, is there a Swing like sound? 👀

[undone fable]

do you know whether the new reflect chest damage every 0,5 secs dmg is consider DoT?

[pearl canyon]

Shouldn't be, it should work just like you're being hit every .5 seconds but instead of being hit you're just ugly enough for them to die

[undone fable]

yea that would totally break the game, scaling would go off the charts

[pearl canyon]

Damage reflected to attackers still works normally though right?
Because technically they're not attacking me, they're just looking at me

[inner quest]

How does Thicket of Blinding Light + Thornshell work with Manifest Armor (Platemail + Shield-Bearer skill node), if at all?

[cosmic crag]

How does armor mitigation applies to damage over time calculate itself?
if I have 50% of the stat and 20k armor, is it:
dots gets reduced by the dr of 10k armor
dots gets reduced by the dr of 20k armor, then halved
or something else entirely?

this is probably in the ingame glossary I just realized.

[crisp shell]

DoTs don’t interact with armor normally so it’s the former

[crude plover]

If you have 50% armour mit to dot and have 80% Dr from armour you get 40% dot DR

[timid fjord]

☝️ 40% for physical dots and less for non-physical dots

[crude plover]

Correct

[pearl canyon]

I would like to just say, as this isn't a question, good on the devs for thinking ahead and making it one primal per toon.
Because everything would have broken

[finite jewel]

have the stats or effect for the new frog minion been revealed anywhere?

[crude plover]

Not yet afaik. Third party sites should have them eventually

[teal trail]

How big is "surrounding enemies"

[dense needle]

Patch notes look really great so far. Iterative improvements to the game, definitely appreciated. Would love to see a little more love for Sorc, though. They have felt underwhelming for a bit now. Just my 2c, obviously.
Speaking of, are these notes finalized or still being iterated up to next season launch?

[verbal pine]

will each point of dexterity added to flay after converting it to necrotic/cold make it so that it scales with that dmg type or will it still be plus +2 physical melee dmg still

[vernal palm]

While i like the game, have fun playing it and like the game systems and how they are designed - i notice myself becoming "tired" or "bored" with longer gaming sessions whereas I don't notice a similar "fatigue" when plain PoE1/PoE2 or even Diablo 2 i think.

When watching the new season Trailer, and something i also noticed ingame and might be in relation to this is, that most of the skills sound very similar - there is always that bit higher pitched "cut" sound whereas in PoE/PoE2 each skill sounds atleast a bit different, bringing you also variance in terms of sounds (and i guess its also called kill feedback)

So my question would be, is there something like a sound overhaul planned for any future update?

[kindred night]

[bleak pasture]

Does the Fume Weaver node in Aura of Decay that lowers enemy poison resistance based on your intelligence work with the new Aura of Decay conversion nodes to physical and cold?

[sinful gust]

Hey just asking into the void hoping for an answer: Does the 0.5s damage trigger from Thicket of Blinding Light Body armor scale with the increase you get from attunement with Thornshell? The description "Scales with your damage reflected to attackers stat, not with the actual damage that has been reflected to attackers." is kinda confusing me and I'm questioning whether this got added specifically to exclude Thornshell or not.

[untold halo]

How will work carrion of creation gloves with champion's affix that converts bleed to ignite?
May it cause endless bleed - ignite - bleed -... conversion process ?

[sturdy root]

will super crits be a different colour/visual queue to normal criticals?

[crisp shell]

They're orange

[pine dome]

Things can only be converted once

[untold halo]

But what will be the priority?

[pine dome]

There is no priority

Let's say you have 100 %Bleed Chance and 100 %Ignite chance

Bleed will become ignite and ignite bleed
So you will end up with 100% Ignite and 100% Bleed

[maiden brook]

envenomed prey (summon scorpion node) now says that it gives more hit damage against poisoned targets rather than just more damage, this change isn't listed in the patch notes. is this an intentional/functional change or a tooltip text error?

[rough lynx]

Is the nerf to Envenomed Prey on Scorpion (no longer apply to DoT) intended, or an accidental mistake when adding conversion to it?

Envenomed Prey’s required ailment can now be converted by cold conversion or lightning conversion. If lightning converted, it grants 3% more hit damage per stack of shock (instead of the typical 1% per stack).
I just validated in-game and it DID apply to DoT before
EDIT: oopsie, CookBook beat me to it

[crude plover]

As I learned today that's apparently not true. Outgoing ailments can get converted however many times

does “carrion of creation” convert all types of ailment chances for the ailments on the item (i.e damned chance with necrotic skills, or melee ignite chance) or does it only convert generic/character sheet chances for the affected ailments?

Could you please elaborate what modifiers amplify Scornful Blood, Lich's new passive? "Instead of healing you, your leech drains the health of an enemy within 6 metres every 0.25 seconds". Is this "true" damage? Suppose you deal 100 damage with 5% leech, is this 5 damage the next 0.25 sec instance to a single enemy within 6 metres? Does this scale with anything? Such as Overkill leech, leech rate or Healing Effectiveness?

In addition, does Hollow Lich(Lich Passive) grant generic increased damage per any type of leech %? Suppose you have 1% harvest leech, does it give 6% increased damage per point? Or merely with Harvest? Or is the damage increase specific for the type, e.g. 1% spell leech gives 6% increased spell damage and 1% meleel eech gives 6% increased melee damage?

How far does "using your tree" work for minions that use the players tree? Because in theory, the Scorpion's Maelstroms can cause Storm Bolts. Will that use my Gathering Storm tree and the Scorpion's stats? The Scorpion can cause large Avalanche boulders. Will that summon Coldstone Elementals? Will that trigger Upheavel, and use my tree and the scorpion's stats? Can that trigger Earthquake?

For example if you compare it with Flame Wraith, it says "Is a Hit" on that minion skill https://www.lastepochtools.com/minions/flame_wraith

[grim geyser]

Rokuro, the continuous damage is not considered a DoT, it is is reflect damage and you can't really scale it in any way other than getting more reflect.

The damaging property probably won't work. Most unique properties that aren't just stats don't

[hybrid fern]

If you're making a list, please add my "pets triggering skills" question above to it.

[humble sundial]

That's the crux of my question though since LETools is not official and can have mistakes or missing info. Every other version of wraith ability is listed as hit, but putrid's poison bolt suspiciously doesn't have either is a hit or is not a hit. /tinfoilhat

[hybrid fern]

Poison Bolt has been around for a while and I'm pretty sure it was never a hit. Unless they changed it in this patch, it seems like it probably won't be
I actually find it pretty annoying because the first time I played Wraiths I thought it would be a great way to do ailments, but since it's not a hit, it really only gets what's listed

[humble sundial]

Hope it's an oversight then. That really locks out many synergy off wraiths and you get penalized for taking putrid 🫠

[crude plover]

Poison hits don't exist in LE. If it doesn't have any other type of damage (none are shown on any website) it won't be a hit

[humble sundial]

Thanks, took it to suggestions with a +1 on hit to enable the same level of synergy that every other wraith forms have.

Gotcha. Seems like it doesn't work on minions with a "duration" stat then. But the T-rex doesn't have one so it should work on it. But Mike could maybe confirm for sure.

[static birch]

Im going to ask this again because previously it gotten a bit lost in the patch notes noise. Previously the roadmap included a note on a transmog system, in which we will be able to more properly customize our characters looks.
I assume this will bring salvaged and existing armor libraries onto a neat UI similarly to how some other games do it, maybe even with coloration.

Since then, the roadmap did change a bit. Is a deeper transmog system still something that's suppose to arrive in a future season? the older roadmap placed it at 1.4

Can sabertooth create upheaval totems?

[mellow python]

Hi, i don't understand why you guys use this stupid wording of GGG they made year ago and not change it to the way its should be "you gain 1 ward per 1% uncapped poison resistance per point." uncapped is before resistance is capped and after that its overcapped !

[crude plover]

Uncapped means how much you would have if it had no cap

so if I have 114% total fire resistance, my uncapped fire resistance is 114%
My actual fire resistance would still be 75%, since it's capped.

[fluid axle]

can ascentral sabertooth trigger upheaval?

[mellow python]

No ! that overcapped because resistance base value is 75% so since this apply to all resistance after 75% that is overcapped and not uncapped

[fossil dune]

Overcapped = the numbers after the 75% cap
Uncapped = your total with no cap
Undercapped = under 75%

(Just because one game uses different words doesn't mean this one has to. Adapt.)

[mellow python]

that the wording GGG use and its so misleading to understand in this exemple "you gain 1 ward per 1% uncapped poison resistance per point." if i have 100% poison resistance for me that mean i gain 25% of this bonus so its overcapped i never understand those wording...

[crude plover]

In LE it means you gain 100 ward if you have 100% poison resistance

Here is the game guide entry

[fossil dune]

Again, just because another game uses different words doesn't mean this game does, that'd be ridiculous.

Anyways. Unrelated to this whole, whatever it is.
The Blade Paladin node in Vengeance has been noted as converting to ignite pen from fire res, is it safe to assume that the same happens but for Time Rot/void if you take that conversion?

[mellow python]

well and why not just say "you gain 1 ward per 1% uncapped poison resistance per point." since there is no "capped" applied why use a word "capped" that is misleading

[crude plover]

Because your actual resistance does cap at 75%, so it would be more confusing. Once you know that uncapped means what you would have if it weren't capped it's pretty clear in my opinion and leaves no to very little room for confusion. If you're ever unsure about terminology in this game just press G and look it up in the game guide, It'll most likely have an entry.

[keen wyvern]

i interpret this wording and have it mean i only get 75% imo

[solar summit]

By the way, in PoE it means the same as in LE aside -60% res from the story. Uncapped it is the value of resistance ignoring the cap, overcapped - over the cap. Just "resistance" would be read like "your resistance value, up to cap" because it is capped by default so misleading. Idk what you are talking about.

[fluid axle]

Can envy reroll a class item into a different class item?

[crude plover]

Like from a primalist only chest to another primalist only chest base type? yes.

oh you meant primalist into mage or something, no.

[fluid axle]

What about a non-class item into a class item? Ty for quick reply btw

[crude plover]

That can't happen. there's no slot that has both non-class specific and class specific base types

helmet, body and relic are class specific and all other slots are generic

new tooltip from LE tools

[solar summit]

There are two relics with no class requirements iirc

[fluid axle]

The new node "Seeds of Undeath" in Harvest - are zombies summoned from the location of the player, the location of the Harvest cast, or the location of the enemy hit/killed?

[crude plover]

You know what you're totally right lol and from wording I'd guess the non-class specific base types would always roll into another non-class specific base type, and if it did have a class it would only roll base types for that class. Might be wrong though, maybe mike would know. I've noted all questions asked since my list which I'll post later so nobodies question gets lost after it.

[fast spade]

Bump on this question and two more:
2) Does Mana Anarchy (Chaos Bolts' projectiles have a chance to consume additional mana causing it to deal more damage) interact with Chaos bolts triggered from Flay? If yes, Is that once? Or once per projectile?
3) Does Army of Skin skeleton trigger (When Flay kills an enemy or hits a boss or rare enemy you gain a stack of Excoriation and have a 6% chance to cast Summon Skeleton if not at maximum skeletons) enable Acolyte's passive Dark Rituals? (Your Minions have increased attack speed and cast speed. This bonus also applies to you if you have used a minion skill in the last 10 seconds.)

[bleak pasture]

Does the health leech drain from Fangs of the Berserker belt continue if you reach full health and your leech instance stops?

+4 Maximum Companions if this is your only equipped Unique Idol
Equipping multiple copies of this idol counts as having multiple unique idols equipped and results in no bonus to maximum companions

does this mean this idol doesn't work when I am equipping a harbingers needle? seems like an oversight if so

[gentle thorn]

For Wildfire Embers, is it 32-36% chance per second to create a wisp per ignited enemies, or 32-36% for it to happen regardless of the number of ignited enemies?
Do the repeats from the wisps count as "direct casting"?
Would any buff or mana cost/gain associated with the spells repeated happen to you? like, do wisps spend your mana, or would them casting a meteor grant you the craterborn buff?
Or it's like a clone casting for you, and you dont get any extra benefits?

It should, all other mana cost modifiers apply to channel costs.

Ever since the outgoing ailment conversion thing I don't know what's real anymore

Did shadow daggers ever even exist?

[pine chasm]

Same, I still need more clarification on that before I understand, idk how they can all apply at the same time, which conversions are stats and which aren't (if any).
But, it does at least finally make FG minions inheriting the bleed -> ignite conversion make sense.

Does the new Land Before Unique idol companion limit override the reworked Wolf passive Permanent Bond? The passive states that the additional wolf does not count towards the companion limit, but would you still be limited to just a single wolf?

[upbeat dagger]

I'm theorycrafting a primal Anurok build with the new unique helm. I wanted to have at least a single wolf for howl buffs to the Anuroks, but wasn't sure if the companion limit provided by Land Before would prevent me from getting an additional wolf with Permanent Bond

[thorny iron]

I thought reduced spell cost only applies to the “initial cast” of a channeling spell, and then after the channeling cost is separate, so I’m wondering if it would affect the ongoing channeling cost, much hunch is it won’t.

[pine chasm]

No, typically reduced/less and +/- cost applies to both initial cost and channel cost

[thorny iron]

Oh interesting! I thought for sure when I was playing with Disintegrate oh so long ago, that it didn’t work that way. Exciting, I look forward to trying out the new unique with my favorite spell 🙂 thanks!

[jaunty dune]

on LEtools raptor is listed as having 2 melee attacks, one which attacks faster, does more damage, and has a bigger aoe, and one which does not have those attributes.

does the raptor actually use both of these attacks? if so, does it have some cadence at which it alternates or just kinda randomly choose one?

[placid plinth]

Any AI run minion or enemy uses the same general logic for using multiple abilities. It has a priority list of abilities. It starts at the top of the list and if it find a valid target and is off cooldown then it uses the ability. This means that abilities with no cooldowns are usually last in the list as a "fallback". If one of them has a cooldown, that one is probably at the top and it will try to use it first.

I'm not really a minion guy, but I am seeing some concern about how "little" minions have been updated/changed/empowered for this upcoming season (I'm hearing mostly about skeleton minions). Is that on your radar? It's a bit odd considering how much of s3 seems to be focused around both lich and necromancer touch-ups. Maybe their worry is premature? 🤷

[placid plinth]

trex is a minion. I don't know if we make the distinction anywhere really. It doesn't decay and is just as permanent as any other manually summoned minion. You can check interactions with it and existing effects by using the relic which gives you a crossbow minion or the off hand which gives you various minions.

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure, it's probably based off of an enemy so it has different base stats to apply buffs to.

It's unfortunate that the Summon Skeleton Icon was used in that patch teaser video as it set some expectations up higher for direct skill tree changes. I will continue to push back on this rhetoric though.

Hi, do base fire damage from tail slam is scale with flat minion melee damage or flat minion spell damage?

[placid plinth]

Any hit to a cursed enemy with any chaos bolt has a chance to be recast.

[edgy shell]

awesome, thanks

[placid plinth]

the base slam itself doesn't deal any fire damage. It's melee physical.

the explosion which the slam creates is a fire spell and scales with the associated damage types.

[eternal zinc]

The explosion is a fire spell, it mean more flat minion spell damage I have, more damage from the explosion from tail slam so even no change for melee physical part, the overall damage from tail slam still more?

[placid plinth]

I don't really know how to explain this without just repeating the question back to you as a statement.

It has a chance to cast rip blood at 5 nearby targets on melee hit. So when you hit an enemy with a melee hit, it has a chance to pick up to 5 nearby targets and cast rip blood targeting each of them.

I don't think the change in how rip blood works affects this in any way really.

[placid plinth]

I have no idea. You can see the values in the link you posted above.

[placid plinth]

1. uses your storm bolt tree and scorpion's stats

[placid plinth]

I'd have to test each of those to be sure. I tested the schorpion maelstrom and storm bolts with gathering storm tree recently so I know that one works. The scorpion was applying shock from my gathering storm tree.

[eternal zinc]

I checked it again, it's the description about damage part: Added damage applies at 100% effectiveness to the melee hit and 200% effectiveness to the explosion.
🤔

Can I understand it as "tail slam will get more damage if I increase flat minion spell damage instead of flat minion melee damage"?

[placid plinth]

no, no

[placid plinth]

The explosion is a spell, the explosion gets damage from flat minion spell damage.

The initial slam is a melee attack, the initial slam gets damage from flat minion melee damage.

yeah definitely still interested, it just seems like a very strange change considering scorpion is mainly a DoT companion.

[fluid axle]

A little confused by the planners. Maxroll says you can't have a t8 affix and a duplicate non-prim affix of the same type. LETools says you can. Which is right?

Is it possible to have a t8 (prim) affix on an item, say Flat Melee Fire damage, and then craft another Flat Melee Fire Damage onto the item?

[sinful gust]

Hey just asking into the Mikeian void hoping for an answer: Does the 0.5s damage trigger from Thicket of Blinding Light Body armor scale with the increase you get from attunement with Thornshell? The description "Scales with your damage reflected to attackers stat, not with the actual damage that has been reflected to attackers." is kinda confusing me and I'm questioning whether this got added specifically to exclude Thornshell or not.

[wooden blade]

The node Scornfull Blood in the Lich passive reads: Instead of healing you, your leech drains the health of an enemy every 0.25 seconds.

Does this means every 0.25 seconds the game checks what your current leech amount would be and deals that as a DOT like effect to an enemy for the next 0.25 seconds until it checks again? I am confused by the wording of every 0.25 seconds since leech is a continuous effect that happens all the time and not in 0.25 second increments.

[maiden nymph]

What's the interaction between 1 or 2x Phantom Grip rings and the new Carrion of Creation primordial gloves? Can Forged Weapons proc Primordial Blood with 1 ring? with 2x max rolled rings ("stats on your gloves apply to your forged weapons at 100% effectiveness") do they get 200% of ailment conversion values to Bleed and double values of the last 2 glove affixes?

[maiden brook]

What's the interaction between 1 or 2x Phantom Grip rings and the new Carrion of Creation primordial gloves?
phantom grips give the forged weapons the stats from your gloves. not non-stat unique effects

the primordial blood proc isn't a stat. your forged weapons would get the armor, armor mit to DoT application, chance to bleed, and any legendary affixes you slam onto it, but the other 3 unique modifiers would not apply

[crisp shell]

Ailment conversions are stats that FWs can inherit, but idk what happens when you get over 100%. You could equip a Maehlin's Hubris and find out I guess. They would not get the bleedsplosion though, true.

Regarding the "Whetstone Gavel" it says [if you have exalted weapon in your offhand its stats have (90-100)% increased effectiveness] when it says "Stats" is it the base stat of the weapon or the affixes themselves?

[maiden brook]

both. if it was the "base stats" it would say "implicits" as that is their technical name

[steady nebula]

Damn, that's nice. Thanks for the confirmation. Cheers!

[rocky heath]

Thanks Mike. Will the patch notes on the forum be updated for unshown changes like this or can you let us know any other affixes that have had their values changed?

[dense hinge]

Hi, Embodiment "All Aspects have increased duration" and "Primal Aspects - Increased aspect effect". Beastmaster tree. Does it also count for aspects of panther or aspect of the spider?

[static vale]

Miiiiike, on Aura of Decay's new cold conversion node (Cold Death), it has some alt text that says AoD no longer benefits from your chance to poison on hit. Does that mean that if you had chance to poison, that wouldn't get converted to chance to frostbite for AoD?

[cosmic crag]

Any plans to take a pre-patch balance pass to Anurok helm's minions? they seem completely absurd damage wise as they can scale with so many dimensions infinitely, on top of already seemingly solid baseline. (reminiscent to the most broken builds in the history of the game)

[whole siren]

With the ethereal revenant Acolyte passive node
Does a hit if you are already below 50% activate it to summon the revenant?
Does the hit count if you are under 50% but it fails to penetrate your ward?
Thinking of low life builds

[static vale]

No, "when damage leaves you below half health" means that an instance of damage (hit or tick of a DoT) needs to move you from above 50% to below 50%. Health drain from the various low life items & passives won't work, nor would damage taken while below 50%.

[rough lynx]

I second this ^
Flat-out losing a 30% more damage multiplier is a massive nerf, feels like it would have been mentionned in the patch notes if it was intentional

For exemple, if an end-game setup would have had ~6m dps, this single change bring it down to ~4.6m.

[rocky heath]

High unlikely I think. Streamers said just go with the flow for this season, so much crazy stuff 😄

[sturdy root]

For the twin fangs node in swipe, when your bear were to swipe and gain aspect of the panther, if they gain it while you are dual wielding, is the effect of it on them also doubled? or would it only be 12% crit multi per stack.

[whole siren]

I appreciate the answer but that's not what I asked
Health drain items will level out at a certain point, lets assume 20% hp or so and 6k ward
If an enemy hits you and does say 200 damage to your ward will that count as a hit that leaves you below half health thus summoning the revenant even though it did no damage to your hit points

[meager wave]

Thanks!

[pulsar heath]

Does fire raptor have new model ?

[whole siren]

All the conversion nodes previously for every summoned minion comes with a new model so I would be very surprised if it didn't
The bigger question probably is if summon cosmetics have tailored versions to show off elemental conversions or if they straight up over ride it

[pine egret]

If you take both Thunder Stinger and Cold-Blooded on Scorpion. Does that disable Shock Nova as well?

[static vale]

Still no because your HP was 20%. For the node to proc your HP would have had to be above 50% before you took damage & under 50% after you took damage. If the HP drain levelled out at a smidge above 50% & you took a hit that took your HP (not ward+HP, purely HP) below 50% then yes that node would proc.

[whole siren]

That goes against how the wording on the node is
It says if a hit leaves you below 50% not if it reduces you below 50%
Hence why I asked her hoping to get an answer from Mike or Muffin or one of the other devs

[static vale]

TBF, that section of the node hasn't changed in 1.3, so you could test it with an exsanguinous/last steps/etc on live.

[amber pond]

how does peak of the mountains you cannot leech interact with scornful blood ?

[whole siren]

True, I think it was just the new threshold bonus that caught my attention, since a necro will likely be running 5 minion skills (using summon skeleton mage as a traversal skill) it does look like the revenant can get a very juicy bonus to damage output

[trim scroll]

Do we enter the monolith differently if we complete act 10 or is just the extra +1 we get?

[static vale]

TLDR, it doesn't. Unless they changed the mechanics of the node without changing the wording then taking a hit while your hp is less than 50% (but you have ward) doesn't summon a Revenant

[undone fable]

Would global increased and more damage scale reflect damage from source like being attacked by an enemy or the new primordial chest dmg hits?

[sharp lagoon]

In the skill "Aura of Decay" when you take the node "Blood Font" does it convert the node "Poison Skin" to give bleed stacks instead of poison stacks?

[north lintel]

How does Chthonic Fissure interact with wildfire embers? can we have more than one fissure due to the wisp recasting the spell or will they just overide the fissure we already have?

[pine chasm]

No

[night tusk]

I think this is a question about shot gunning because rip blood is a aoe now if i cast 5 rip bloods with this can all 5 rip bloods hit all 5 enemies if there in the aoe of all 5

[pine chasm]

They will overwrite existing fissures, they cause you to recast, they don't actually cast it themselves

[north lintel]

Yeah that make total sense i should have seen it, thank you !

[static vale]

It should do, that'd be the "all of the effects related to poison & poison resist are converted to bleed & phys resist"

[meager mountain]

is there currently any information released on where the new primordial unique gloves "Carrion of Creation" will drop from? will it be a boss drop? general drop? specific drop from one of the beast evolutions?

[twilit orbit]

It seems really not clear out there, but what does Damage Reflected to Attackers scale with? Is it affected by enemy armor? phys res?
can I boost it global damage?

[crisp shell]

I don't see it in the screenshot of the NPC's shop list so it has to be one of the 3 that drop from Rift Beasts

[sullen tapir]

The Dev Blog hinted at Rift Beast drops, which makes the most sense anyway.

Not all Primordial Unique items are purchased from Skarven however, so do keep your eyes open when fighting powerful Rift Beasts.
Very likely tied to area level, evolutions/lineages

[meager mountain]

thanks for the response!

[haughty geode]

can you have multiple at once, if i get enought CD and enought recurve? is it tecnically possible to stack?

I am scared it has a limit to 1 like the ravanger helm does, and its not stated. As its HS is limited and has a CD.

Can you confrim it can stack, on a perfect scenario?

[placid plinth]

I'm busy with family stuff today so I can't test it right now to be certain but I'm pretty sure I saw overlaps last time I tested it as I said in the message you replied to.

The ability doesn't have a mutator or a way to track existing ones so I don't see how it could limit to only one but there are some creative ways that someone could have made that happen. I can check it out if you remind me tomorrow.

I did realize after I did that test that I didn't quite fully invest in it so you could get the CD much lower.

[eternal zinc]

Hah remind of a thing, did Mike show any extra teasers of 1.3 in stream this week?

[pine chasm]

Only things that specifically say they scale it, such as the multiplier against rares/bosses on blinding light and thornshield's increase per attunement.
Absolutely no damage reduction or increase on enemies applies to it.
No, generic/global increased damage does not scale it.

[gray hornet]

between Architects of Astral Blood and corrupt form witch one have the priority ?
ex: i have 1000 hp Architects of Astral Blood give me 200% of Maximum Health applied as a Ward Limit so 2000 ward limit if i take corrupt form will i get:
2000 max ward limit or 500 max ward limit from corrupt form

[pine chasm]

Corrupted Form takes priority #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[narrow rivet]

Does the health lost on Exsanguinous count as health drain for the essence devourer lich passive?
The effect is functionally the same for both passive skills and Exsang, but Exsang says "health lost" not "health drained."
I was wondering if this is on purpose or not.

[prime pelican]

IF AoD is converted to physical, does the poison bolts from Fester also convert to physical?

[rugged citrus]

The description of Flay mentions Spirit Step by name. Is this the same as the Spirit Step skill provided by Flames of Midnight, and if so does that mean it procs evade triggers like it says in the skill description?

[crude plover]

Not the same skill according to LE tools

[rugged citrus]

That's why I'm asking here. LE tools only has the patch notes to go off of.

[crude plover]

No they have the patch data that they datamine. The only reason something wouldn't be accurate is either due to a bug (unlikely since it successfully did get a skill with a matching description) or it being outdated information, both of which are pretty unlikely in this case.

[rugged citrus]

I thought EHG no longer give out patch data prior to release?

[crude plover]

They do. Thats why every unique is on planners despite their stats not being in notes

What they stopped doing is letting content creators participate in the community testing program

[rugged citrus]

Images of all uniques were released before LE Tools had them in their system

[void solar]

Mike also mentioned yesterday that the Patch notes are more updated than the data the 3rd party sites have #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message
So it's possible what you're seeing on the 3rd party sites may be updated again before launch

[rugged citrus]

Ah, I see. I was misinformed about what kind of information was avaliable. Thanks for the reply, both of you!

[pine chasm]

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

[teal trail]

can spectral flay from the prince of pain/spectral nightmare also proc chaos bolts on hit?

[kind haven]

As a player who really enjoyed Last Epoch game since the first versions of the game, I would like to THANK A LOT all developers for implementing the new filtering system in Bazaar!!! Really! You can't imagine how happy I am right now to read Season 3 patch notes! It's a full game changer for me. With this simple update for automatically filtering items, it will make me forget about all other games that I'm currently playing, to only get focused on trading and working out my dopamine with this 💗, thanks for all devs for this amazing game! Also, for this new implementation, it hits hard on my heart ❤️ 😍

[feral surge]

Can you convert aura of decay to physical and then wear the new Mask of Indifference to completely negate the selfdamage?

[kind haven]

BTW @vocal burrow and all LE Team, you rock! 👊

[crude plover]

Yes

[crude plover]

The positive feedback is much appreciated but please don't ping staff (rule 10 in #rules ) ^^

Also if you'd like your feedback to reach more of EHG please post it in the #1210281911872786482 since only a few read this channel

[kind crystal]

What happens if minions would spawn but you are already at the limit ?

For example from the passive that resummoms skeleton after 3 seconds.

Do they just not spawn at all or spawn and then instantly die ?

[prime barn]

Can Abomination consume a T-Rex?

[crude plover]

They don't summon

Either that or it'll just replace them. Depending on if you're directly using the skill and stuff

[heady onyx]

I think I know the answer, but does the Marrow Shards cold conversion node Frigid Shards also apply to Bone Splinters?

[fast spade]

Bump on these questions.

[placid plinth]

Sorry everyone, still out of the office until the family goes to sleep and I'll get another question session in this evening.

[native panther]

Any devs able to confirm/deny that the evade bow attack repeat on "Hydra Arc" counts as a direct use of a bow attack?

[crude plover]

Shouldn't be

Since it's not

[native panther]

Thanks

[fallow kiln]

Hey, is anyone able to explain to me if the forceful swipes node in the summon bear skill tree can trigger primal resonance in the swipe skill tree and therefore reset the ability of the bear itself, or another companion? mainly wondering if I could pair bear and raptor together here if bear can reset raptor rampage

[junior pine]

The higher the base attack rate on weapon the faster it attacks or the higher the time inbetween attacks is?

[maiden brook]

Faster it attacks.

[pine dome]

Base Speed of the Attack x Attack Rate of the Weapon x Increased AS = Actual AS

[jaunty dune]

does aspect of the panther benefit from the "increased effect of aspects on companions node if a companion has it?

[stiff niche]

Hello, I have a question about the interaction with Anurok + Julra's Obsession gloves. If I have the normal Increased Area for Area Skills on my gloves(Stats on this item also apply to your minions), would they also convert the Increased Area for Area Skills to More Damage? Or does it have to be specifically the Increased Area for Area Minion Skills?

the tooltip:
(Anuroks are not affected by increased area of effect stats, but gain 3% more damage for each 1% increased Area of Effect for Minion Area Skills.)

[desert sleet]

The tooltip is very literal. It's specifically only the "increased Area of Effect for Minion Area Skills" stat on the summoner (you) that grants them more damage.

[cosmic current]

is "when you use harvest" (chest mod that grants mana) synonymous with directly use/directly cast?

[desert sleet]

Sounds like it should

[pine dome]

I was under the impression this would apply only to aspect from the PAssive tree > Boar, Viper and Lynx
And not to Aspect from other skills > Crow, Panther, Storm

[glass thorn]

is the minion penetration in Rite of Undeath, is that ALL pen?

[pine dome]

Is that what you are looking for ?

[elder frost]

what time zone it's gonna be released the next season on thursday ?

[desert sleet]

Each damage type grants the matching pen individually

[pine dome]

<t:1755532800:t>

Should show in your time

[desert sleet]

EHG releases are always 11am Central Time (the eleventh hour of "epoch time", i.e. Judd's timezone :P)

[empty remnant]

Is the devouring souls skill from the summon abomination tree the same as hungering souls?

[quaint spindle]

my pleasure ❤️ (I was one of several)

[desert sleet]

I'm not sure of the specifics for those cases. It's phrased like if you have an Aspect that is affecting a companion, then w/e buffs that aspect grants them has increased effect.

[tall kettle]

Bring on Friday (my time) baby! Hey question, last release there was a login issue for a lot of people ( I understand things happen ) was that specific issue figured out and will hopefully not be present this time? I woke up at 2am couldn't get on til 4, slowest 2 hours of my sad life I swear lmao

[empty remnant]

Anyone know? 😭 Just want to know if speccing into hungering souls will affect the devouring soul ability. Reason I’m confused is because in it’s page from last epochtools. It says devouring souls is an “other” ability, yet in the changes it says it’s hungering souls

[pine dome]

Giving that one is called Devouring Soul and the other Hungering Soul
They are not the same skill
And there is no node that make Hungering Souls tree apply to Devouring Soul

[spiral mason]

hey 11th congrats on another banger of a season, love to see the constant progress and QoL as well as fun toys for the players. Wishing you the best of luck with the server siege friday

[desert sleet]

Yes, the mana is only granted if you directly use Harvest. Doesn't work with procced Harvest (e.g. thru Chaos Bolts)

[desert sleet]

I think it functions mechanically the same (like how Eternal Arrow is basically just Heartseeker), but since it doesn't specifically state that it uses your skill tree (like Bear + Earthquake does), then specializing Hungering Souls would not affect the Devouring Souls cast by your Abomination.

[quaint spindle]

1.2 was super smooth actually - there was an issue though that caused a point of congestion with a ton of people logging back in after a required server kick for one one our very early hotfixes.
(which wasnt an issue at time of launch as it was related to the mass kick part)

I can confirm that issue is resolved

[quaint spindle]

Ty ❤️

[tall kettle]

Sweet, it was my first wake up at 2am launch as I joined in 1.1 so was just checking, understand point of congestion/load balancing but thought it was mentioned it was something else haha! I'll pray one click gets me in 😄

[drowsy spear]

Hello, I was wondering how minion vs conpanion scaling works. I'm planning on playing around with totem upheavel sabertooth next season and have seen the the upheavls scale with + minion. Do all the nodes in beast master the mention + damage for companion get included in that calculation? For example when I get aspect of the shark and my companion gets it too, will that damage get calculated over into the upheavel damage?

[steel stream]

Why did EHG add a Lightning McQueen themed unique pair of Acolyte boots?

Army of Skin is obviously a reference to Lightning McQueen telling you to pull off your skin and turning into a pair of boots immediately after

[pine chasm]

No, companion is a specific subclass of minions (as are totems). So things that affect companions only apply to your sabertooth, things that say totem only apply to the upheaval totem, and things that say minion apply to both.

[pine dome]

And since Upheaval Totems even though they are procc by Saber, are in fact summoned by you
So they dont inherit any stats from the Saber

[quaint spindle]

all companions are minions, but not all minions are companions

so +companion damage applies only to companions
but +minion damage applies to all minions

[maiden brook]

Hi muffin, agent000zero, would either of you happen to know the answer to this? #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[quaint spindle]

ill ask

[sullen tapir]

How does Shadow Dagger and Truesight Glass (the Primordial Amulet thjat lets you Deadly Strike) interact?
Does Shadow Dagger still gets %increased crit chance from other sources or is the guaranteed crit overwriting anything?

TL:DR Can Shadow Daggers Deadly Strike?

[timid fjord]

They can, the guaranteed crit actually means they have base critical strike chance of 100% instead of the common 5%

[cosmic current]

I want to use unspecialized Harvest and Death Seal on my bar. Do triggered Chaos Bolts and triggered Bone Curse benefit from their specialization trees if they are not on the skill bar?

[crude plover]

Yes

[native panther]

Since the dev is back I will reask my earlier question: can you confirm or deny that "repeat" on Hydra arc is or is not counted as direct use of a bow skill?

[flint bloom]

Direct cast is "you press button for skill". Repeat isnt you pressing button

[native panther]

Sure that seems like the logic but I'd like to hear from the devs. Kind of the point of the channel, no?

[flint bloom]

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

Here is a dev saying direct casts are only when you press the button

And no...anyone who can search and link an answer, can answer. Esp in high volume times other devs and mods answer quite frequently, as you can see above

[quaint spindle]

@flint bloom is correct

[native panther]

Does the Great Harvest conversion of Harvest from "Executioner's Tithe" benefit from CDR like a normal cooldown or is it locked at 5 seconds?

[crude plover]

The cooldown recovery rate stat only benefits the cooldowns that can be on your bar

(Does not benefit it)

[little raptor]

When you gain leech stacks with scornful blood, are the leech stacks removed when you reach full health even though they don't heal you?

[crude plover]

Yes the normal conditions still apply.

#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message
(I know the answer is a bit roundabout but I would have faith that Mike would've clarified if they just don't fall off at all)

[primal girder]

But Harvest can be on your bar, I would expect it would benefit..?

[little raptor]

Thanks!

[crude plover]

It benefits the cooldown you see when you hover over a skill you can put on your bar. So if the item makes harvest itself have a cool down it would benefit

[drowsy spear]

Hey I have another couple questions for sabertooth/upheavel. Can ancestral sabertooth proc upheaval or just your main sabertooth and will pack leader in leap trigger earthshaking entrance? Thanks again for all the help.

[placid plinth]

I'll double check this to be sure but I'm almost certain it does.

[placid plinth]

check the search, I tested this and answered a question on it yesterday but I can't remember the answer.

[native panther]

Mike, can you clarify "almost certain it does" insofar as the conversion cd benefits?

[placid plinth]

because it uses the term "convert" it's still harvest. It's the same as if you converted an element. the ability is still the same ability.

[placid plinth]

yes. ICDRS still applies to harvest regardless of if you have executioner's tithe on or not

[crude plover]

Yeah I realized that later when I re-read it but wasn't entirely sure anymore so I wrote this lul. Misremembered it as saying the "effect" of converting it had a cool down. Not the skill itself. Should've edited the initial comment xd
#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

Honestly I just shouldn't be answering stuff at 5am without sleep, I'm restricting myself from now on lmao

[placid plinth]

We did it that way to combine all 3 stats into 1 line. We could have done

• Harvest has +5s CD
• Direct uses of Harvest deal 150% more damage
• Direct uses of Harvest have 50% more area of effect

and it would be the same effect.

[native panther]

well well well well how the cookie shoe crumbles haha

[placid plinth]

I missed that, sorry.

(I make the same mistakes at 5am)

[primal girder]

That would imply procs of Harvest (such as from chaos bolts) would get the increased area/damage. Would need to specify direct casts, yes?

[placid plinth]

yes
no, sorry to clarify, it only gets the damage buff if it's a direct use

Converts direct casts of Harvest to Great Harvest which has a 5 second cooldown, deals 150% more damage, and has 50% more area of effect

[placid plinth]

because I edited it, I didn't read you question right. As it states in the item description. This only applies to direct casts.

[drowsy spear]

Found it, looks like its a no go, thanks Mike. Also the gray text on destructive power for sabertooth makes it sound like you can have the sabertooth create upheavel totems. Is that correct or is it the same deal with that too? Thanks again you're the champ.

[placid plinth]

I don't understand the question. Your sabertooth can make upheaval totems. That's what the alt text is saying.

[native panther]

For "Evolution's End"... does the Rift Beast count as a companion for purposes of "Chorus of the Anurok"?

[placid plinth]

Your companions are Wolves, Bears, Sabertooths, Raptors, Scorpions or Spriggans. Nothing else.

[drowsy spear]

Thanks Mike , You had another comment under the one about ancestral sabertooth saying you can't proc totems with sabertooth for the same reason so I was just double checking because I'm building out a totem upheavel build atm. Thanks again!

[placid plinth]

link?

[inner quest]

Here's the message. I'm pretty sure you meant Ancestral Sabertooth can't create Upheaval Totems though.

[crude plover]

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

[placid plinth]

found it, that question was asking about ancestral sabertooth, not sabertooth, different minions.

Your sabertooth can proc upheaval and if your upheaval is converted to totem mode, it can proc upheaval totems.

Your sabertooth's ancestral sabertooth can't proc upheaval regardless of if it is in totem mode or not.

[native panther]

For purposes of "Artor's Loyalty" which limits you to 1 companion, does that set your "maximum companions" stat to 1? I ask because if I am using "The Land Before" and "Chorus of the Anurok" which both grant +Maximum companions, I am unclear on whether Artor's Loyalty would negate those and prevent the summoning of any Anuroks because maximum companions is 1?

[crude plover]

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

[drowsy spear]

It was this one, #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message. And right on that's what I figured though just wanted to double check because it looked like two questions to me.

[floral widget]

Hi! Wondering how the conversion of Dodge Chance works when you have both the Forge Guard passive node Iron Reflexes and are wearing the boots Foot of the Mountain?

I am assuming standing still overrides the Forge Guard passive but while you're moving Iron Reflexes is applied?

[inner quest]

How exactly does Thicket of Blinding Light work with Loot Lizards?

Every 0.5 seconds you Blind all enemies facing you and deal Damage to them equal to your Damage Reflected to Attackers stat
Unless I'm missing something here the "enemies facing you" requirement sounds really annoying with lizards that run away from you and look in the opposite direction all the time, lol. Not impossible obviously because the timer before they leave is very generous, plus they do stop running eventually, but still. Plus they never attack you, meaning your Damage Reflected to Attackers stat will never do anything unless you're playing one of the (very limited number of) skills that can scale direct damage off of that stat (Shield Throw.. and IDK what else).

[quaint spindle]

there is a handful of enemies, loot lizards included, who dont have to meet the facing requirement

[quaint spindle]

samr thing for stuff like Spires etc or anything else immobile

[sand merlin]

For maelstrom, does the turbulence node double the damage of the maelstrom if you use frozen winds on the scorpion tree? Since it uses your scorpions stats

Do Wave Dash from Rahyeh means the void wheel which sides will be shoot one by one in counterclockwise?

[arctic relic]

"Thirst for dread" on the flay tree says it has double effect if there is a bleeding enemy the area. Does this get converted if you convert flay e.g. frostbite or poison instead of bleed?

[pine dome]

From what we can read on the conversion nodes > No

It needs to say "and all effect related to bleed now depend on xxxx"

Like this

[arctic relic]

damn, thought it might but always worth a check, thank you very much

[fast lily]

Anurok critical strike chance per attunement is base crit chance ? (no increase in the sentence)

[fervent scroll]

Does Flurry swipes (the active ability of the sabertooth) have 3 individual chances of proccing upheaval or just one?

Also, if the sabertooth does an autoattack and procs flurry swipes via the tree, do I get 1 chance of upheaval, 2 or 4?

[fading mica]

Does the Upheaval node "natural weapons" work if procced by sabertooth?

[wanton mica]

Does swapping Detonating Arrow to cold with Frostfang Arrow cause Detonating Charge to also get converted?

[lucid pond]

Question: If the Summon Bear use the new node to cast Earthquake, and the EQ skill have the node to cast Avalanche with aftershocks, and Avalanche have the node to Summon Coldstone Elementals 😄

Would that work?

[fast spade]

Hi there Mike, any chance we could get these questions answered? Thanks!

[flint bloom]

That is the correct wording

[crude plover]

It is true damage. The instance doesn't last 0.25 seconds, it lasts however long a leech stacks would last without the node, the tickrate of the damage is just 0.25s.

All modifiers will act identically to how they would without the node, but instead of healing for the amount you would. You deal it as damage. It doesn't interact with any kind of increased damage or modifiers directly (but obviously dealing more damage means you leech more, making it deal more damage).

Hollow lich applies to all types of leech, but I'm unsure if it would apply to leech from a skill tree. I'd wager on no but I've been surprised more than once recently lol.

[fast spade]

So, technically speaking, it turns leech into a % more multiplier that does damage over time? Cause if you do 100 damage and leech 5%, that's 5 damage, so essentially a 5% more damage multiplier.
I assume Overkill Leech and Leech Rate act as multipliers for that modifier?

[crude plover]

Correct (not 100% about overkill but I don't see why it wouldn't work)

Leech rate would increase dps but not total damage.

If you got 100% leech you'd be doing double damage in a single target scenario

[fast spade]

so that answers scornful blood. Hollow Lich on the other hand is a generic damage increase to all types of damage? So 1% spell damage and 1% melee leech is treated as generic 2% inc damage per point ?
I assume "While transformed" is treated as global. But Harvest leech likely doesn't work for Hollow Lich?

[crude plover]

1% spell leech and 1% melee leech would be 2% increased damage each per point yes. It specifies that on the node

While transformed should work. I'm unsure about skill tree leech like I said earlier. I'd assume no though

[fast spade]

I assume there's no distinction between damage leeched as health and damage leeched as health on hit. All right. I think I got a clearer image now 🙂

[crude plover]

Correct, one just applies to damage over time while the other doesn't

[fast spade]

Hollow Lich does not discriminate any leech except skill-specific leech by the looks of it.
Its safe to assume the new primordial Belt, Fangs of the Berserker works mechanically identically to Scornful Blood?

[crude plover]

They're worded the same so I think that's safe to assume

[gusty berry]

Question,
We have new primordial belt which gives 1% increased frenzy effect per 1 strength(there is no wording 'on you'). Would this then scale with for example frenzy that is on minions? or for example amulet 'inheritance of the erased' which gives frenzy to minion?

[fast spade]

It's not "damage over time", it's just a conversion effect on your leech, correct?

[crude plover]

Correct

[opaque falcon]

Does Dancing Strikes animation scale purely off cooldown reduction? Or will I need to figure out if there is some breakpoint where the CDR is so high I need less pure CDS and more Attack speed to not get gated by one or the other.

[crude plover]

Dancing strikes gets cool down recovery speed from attack speed as well as more damage. So you just wanna stack as much attack speed as possible. Cool down recovery rate would help after that. I doubt your cool down can get shorter than the cast time of the skill but I guess it might be possible with enough attack speed, would need to graph it out

[pine dome]

I think the question is
If I have too much cdr, will I get blocked by not having AS? (like the animation will stop getting faster)

The answer to that is no

[crude plover]

The cooldown starts after it's done right? I'm not sure tbh. Feel like that's the default though

[pine dome]

I thought the animation didn't have AS scaling

And you were just reducing the cooldown between attacks

[crude plover]

It just says the movement doesn't. I think the animation still does though? Honestly no clue. Seems you know more than me

[hollow agate]

So i ckeck.

The cd animation start right after the use at the beginning and not after the strike ends. The displayed cd from strike change the first is 0.7 then 0.6then 0.5
I put a 10s timer and manage 12 attacks... That means the real cd is 0.8

And attack speed doesn't change anything as intended.

I really don't know what to think about all that....

[shell zinc]

Hello. Have you considering equalising stability required for bosses in empowered monoliths?

Currently upper monoliths need more stability to unlock bosses than lowers. This progression makes sense in normal monoliths, but not as much in empowered. Unless upper monoliths are harder than lower?

[plain spindle]

Hi Mike. I'm theorycrafting and testing abit around the new Hydra Arc bow. Can you confirm that the "repeat" mechanic on the new bow is coded/working the same way as the arrow repeat from Gathering Fury bow?
I dont mean specifically the difference between "repeat on Evade" vs "repeat on 1 sec cooldown". Im more asking about the arrows itself, if they scale the same way with buffs etc.

[vague holly]

Are we getting corruption leaderboard yet?

[hybrid fern]

You were very specific with this, but I want to ask, are Squirrels from the Scurry helm companions? It says it converts your wolves to squirrels, but so I could see them being companions.

[pine dome]

Yes they are

Squirrels are just wolves cut in half

[hybrid fern]

Really the core of my question is: does new idol The Land Before allow you to have many more squirrels, or does it limit you to 1 squirrel?

[crude plover]

1 squirrel

[whole siren]

so you get half a wolf? 😄

[crude plover]

Pmuch

[quaint spindle]

lol this convo got dark

[thorny flint]

Assuming the CR is at the right levels when engaging it, is a max-evolved Rift Beast a challenge when it comes to strategy? Can I expect to do some problem-solving? I know Mike said "maths will math" but just because something hits hard, it doesn't make it hard.

[crude plover]

This feels like a subjective thing. I get what you're getting at but I think the best way to answer this question is for you to see for yourself in 3 days

[thorny flint]

The reason why I'm asking now - and I'm pretty sure EHG can answer, because we're all roughly the same in terms of reactions, etc. - I don't want to ruin my experience. Like, am really looking for something to solve in the game, and if anyone from EHG says that, if the CR is right, there is problem-solving, I'll push CR to the point where my build gets one-shot, before engaging the Rift Beast system.

[fickle perch]

Such question will always be answered this way :
"Ideally yes, but we can't know for sure the power level of your build and your own ability so we can't guaranty you'll always see it as a challenging combat"

because we're all roughly the same in terms of reactions, etc. -
You can't be more wrong.

[crude plover]

What's mechanically intensive vs not is honestly very subjective. What might be a skill that one person finds requires skill to deal with will be an unavoidable "BS" skill for another person

Good example is lagon, all his skills are telegraphed and avoidable including the beam without a blink. But not everyone will experience it that way

[thorny flint]

Ok, that's a semantics-driven argument. I'm pretty sure most people get what I'm trying to say. If all you have to do is dodge a circle every 3-4s, I think most people would agree that's not hard. If a mechanic is super obvious, that's also clear.

In my first round of questions, I asked in relative terms - relative to Ubberoth specifically. The question is obviously laced with the pretext of me knowing where my keyboard is, and asking from that perspective.

[lucid pond]

Question: If the Summon Bear use the new node to cast Earthquake, and the EQ skill have the node to cast Avalanche with aftershocks, and Avalanche have the node to Summon Coldstone Elementals 😄

Would that work?

[heady onyx]

Rift Beasts aren't supposed to be some pinnacle level content from how they've shown them off. More like Nemesis encounters. I wouldn't imagine anything much more mechanically complicated than them since you're going to be running into them fairly frequently

[placid plinth]

gooooood morning everyone

did we have a good weekend of theorycrafting?

[pine chasm]

It should; it works for your totems casting upheaval

[manic crown]

There's too many builds Mike!

[eternal zinc]

Quick question. Do Wave Dash from Rahyeh means the void wheel which sides will be shoot one by one in counterclockwise?

[jaunty dune]

i'd call it a GREAT weekend of theory crafting 🙂 i'm very excited for my zoo beastmaster.

Did have a question, does the passive tree node that buffs the effect of aspects on companions work for aspects that are gained outside the passive tree such as aspect of the spider and aspect of the panther?

There is also a passive node for aspect of the shark that sounds like it is giving MORE aspect effect as opposed to increased but it doesn't specify that it's multiplicative like the 'more' text usually was so i'm wondering if you know if that's a multiplier on aspect effect or additive with other sources

[gusty berry]

Hello Mike,
I have question.
We have new primordial belt which gives 1% increased frenzy effect per 1 strength(there is no wording 'on you'). Would this then affect for example frenzy that is on minions? or for example amulet 'inheritance of the erased' which gives frenzy to minion? So minion has increased effect of frenzy too?

[gentle thorn]

I guess it's time to bump this question as you asked 😉
#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[placid plinth]

I just tested with absorbing 60 skeleton archers and 840% increased minion cooldown recovery speed and I couldn't get 2 of them to exist on screen for more than a split second.

I couldn't get more than 1 arrow to be hitting at once.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but it doesn't currently look like it's possible to have 2 at once.

[mental steeple]

Will the new loot filter sounds coming with S3 only let us choose from a few sounds provided by the game or also allow custom sounds?

EDIT: sounds preview #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[red urchin]

the first one

[vital shard]

no news today?
or this is the silence before the storm?

[crude plover]

Hype week was last week. Patch notes are out. Not sure what they could reveal anymore

[whole siren]

they could stream some season 3 gameplay? 😉

[placid plinth]

It doesn't work on your minions. I'm not sure if it's because they don't have any strength or because it only applies to you but either way, your minions don't get an increased effect of frenzy per strength. Tested with 357 strength.

(same with dual wielding)

[placid plinth]

Next stream is on the 29th.

[whole siren]

Hey Mike I dunno if you saw my question yesterday (I know you were AFK a lot of the time)

I asked how the acolyte base passive tree node works that generates a revenant (Ethereal Revenant)
The node says that when a hit leaves you below 50% hp it spawns a Revenant

If you are already below 50% (for example using a low life build item) and you take a hit, does it spawn a revenant?
Or does the hit have to take you from above 50% to below 50%?

[placid plinth]

yes
additive

[placid plinth]

It's very literal. When you take a hit, after that damage is applied, are you above or below 50% health?

[whole siren]

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

The information that others said last time was that it didn't work if you were already sub 50% based on season 2 behaviour
Before the node wasn't too interesting but with a minion skill focused necro the threshold node now makes it more appealing
Hence the question to check if behaviour had changed in season 3
Based on old answers it wasnt as literal as you suggested

[placid plinth]

I guess the wording is ambiguous. We didn't change it.

[whole siren]

A shame but okay, its value for low life necro would be very minimal
Thats good to know before I get started thank you

Looking at the Invigorated Dead node (more specifically the Threshold bonus)
Are there many necro minions at all that use throwing damage?
The only one I can think of is the skeleton rogue (acid flask)?

[placid plinth]

falcon, it's before the lock line

[feral surge]

Fire-Converted Hungering Souls can make enemies affected by Spreading Flames take more damage over time, but it can't apply those Spreading Flames on its own, can it?

[crude plover]

I don't see why it couldn't apply the spreading flame with something like firestarters

You also don't need to convert them for it to work. The node that causes possessed enemies to take more damage over time is generic

Unless you meant something else

[severe sluice]

How does Resummoning Skeleton chance interact with assembling ur Abomination next patch?

[feral surge]

What I meant was, Hungering Souls has no way to inflict Spreading Flames without outside assistance, right? The Conversion doesn't replace Possessed with Spreading Flames?

[crude plover]

Correct

[whole siren]

Huh? 👀 Last I checked Necro doesn't get a falcon 😄

[placid plinth]

I was so confused, yes that's right.

lol yup

[blazing vortex]

Hello, I'm wondering exactly what the line "5% to 9% increased flat damage reflected to attackers per attunement" on thornshell does?
Like is it supposed to increase your stat "Damage dealt to attackers" or does it increase your damage upon dealing it? idk how to explain it, hope that makes sense xD

[placid plinth]

I apparently need some more sleep

[limber pasture]

undead falcon confirmed?!

[placid plinth]

I mean, we gave abom heartseeker

[whole siren]

on the topic of abom, does it eat minions used to create it even if it doesn't need healing? (after its been summoned I mean)

[crude plover]

I saw the Falcon message and went what but didn't even dare question it anymore because I'm also tired lmao. As far as I'm concerned anything could be possible

[whole siren]

whelp necro can currently get a crab and a t-rex, I tried looking to see if they could wear the frog chest but sadly its primalist only armour

[fleet galleon]

Couldn't get that + t-rex at same time anyway, right?

[ripe gale]

How does re-summoning for Chorus of the Anurok work? I'm theorycrafting the build atm and curious how much I should care about their survival.

[whole siren]

fair point re frog item

[crude plover]

I imagine it's similar to T-Rex and the Merc. They just respawn after a few seconds

[umbral scarab]

Hello, could i just confirm that the long standing rule of if an affix is sealed it cannot be interacted with, even using the new Rune of Evolution? Example that champion affix's will never be T8 because of this?

[placid plinth]

yes

[mental flame]

Hey Mike, I see you occasionally check things in the code and mentioned low effort fixes. Devouring orb has a node called Void Adept that should double its bonusses "if you have at least 90 vitality" but this seems to actually require 91. Could this be a > instead of >=?

[eternal zinc]

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

Thanks :)

[whole siren]

Just to check if its just a lastepochtools thing or not
With summon abomination does it not get the necrotic tag if you take the Reap the Damned or Corrupt Palate nodes (or the fire tag if you take the Bloated Corpse node for that matter)?
It largely matters for the Blight of Lachesis unique staff (which gives + skill level to necrotic, cold and lightning minion skills)

[crude plover]

Could you reword the question? Sorry I don't understand it

[pine chasm]

Does minion cooldown affect the arrow? It currently does not affect the arrow nova skill that eternal arrow is replacing, it fires on an interval instead of being a skill the abomination uses
(Current wording on eternal arrow node is identical, no cooldown term used, but the follow-on node was changed to say cooldown instead of frequency)

[eternal zinc]

Roulette is it supposed to be called?

[crude plover]

Sure. What about it?

[eternal zinc]

Do the official name of roulette attack is wave dash?

[crude plover]

Think it's void flares

[clear galleon]

I don't see it in the patch notes but did the Multishot bug where Point Blank is giving Increased Damage rather than More Damage been fixed?

[crude plover]

And yeah people call it pizza

[placid plinth]

yes. the only edge case that I can think of is shattering an item to transfer the stats to a merophage. The description of the rune of evolution states "non-sealed"

[feral surge]

Exposed Flesh from the Flay skill tree says in the description it "reduces armor, cold resistance and increases chance to be frozen" but LEtools only lists reduced cold resist and freeze chance, no armor debuff. Which one is more likely to be right?

[placid plinth]

Maybe, if you think you've found a bug, please report it using the in game bug reporting tool. I can't just slip fixes in at this point unless they are game breaking critical.

[eternal zinc]

Void pizza? It sounds more interesting without doubt.

[plucky cape]

Excited for the update guys. How many varieties of rift beasts are there at launch? and how common are the new woven echoes?

[hexed cypress]

Can a dev pm me for a game breaker that I don’t want to share incase u can’t fix it in time

[placid plinth]

due to how combinatorial math works, more than I care to try and figure out quickly.

varying rarities. at least 1 is medium rarity.

[placid plinth]

Please submit it to the in game bug reporting tool. It goes directly into our triage.

[serene mango]

hey mike ! does " you cannot summon more than 1 of any type of companion" from land before idol overwrite every other effect/passive/skill that lets you use multiples

[placid plinth]

yes

[hexed cypress]

Not a bug gl w season launch, excited for it

[placid plinth]

I don't understand how a game breaking thing could exist that isn't a bug but either way, please use the in game bug reporting tool to report the game breaking thing.

[fallow kiln]

Hey All! flaming bear question here. If I'm running a Bhuldar's Wrath to convert earthquake to fire, would summon bear cast fiery earthquakes on its own? or would it still need the Cataclysm node picked? + follow up question, can summon bear proc the "Chance To Create An Aftershock Under A Nearby Enemy On Melee Attack" from Rumbling idol prefix?

[plucky cape]

Last season there was a small bug where frenzy totem did not work in a specific woven echo, can you remember if this has been fixed before I start diving trough the forums? also, on a lighter note, how has the team been managing with the global heatwave? everyone still sane? 😄

[placid plinth]

requires cataclysm node to be fire converted

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, I don't have details on bug fixes, please check the patch notes for bug fix info.
We are a fully remote team so our climates are wildly variable all over the world. It's winter for some at the moment.

[placid plinth]

I didn't expect it to affect it but I wanted to be sure.

[sinful gust]

Hey just asking into the Mikeian void hoping for an answer: Does the 0.5s damage trigger from Thicket of Blinding Light Body armor scale with the increase you get from attunement with Thornshell? The description "Scales with your damage reflected to attackers stat, not with the actual damage that has been reflected to attackers." is kinda confusing me and I'm questioning whether this got added specifically to exclude Thornshell or not.

[plucky cape]

It wasnt in the patch notes, but since frenzy as a whole works different now it might bave been magically fixed, guess well find out in a few days 😄 no need to reply, thanks for the replies man.

[placid plinth]

it does ~~not ~~affect armor

[placid blaze]

Hi is there a reason why reap doesn't have the same dex and int scaling as harvest and flay?

[blazing vortex]

this is what i wanted to know earlier too, what the line on thornshell actually means / how it works exactly, because on lastepochtools thornshell does not increase your "damage dealt to attackers" stat when you increase your attunement, but idk if that's a lastepochtools thing or if thornshell does not increase your stat directly and instead just increase your "hits" upon reflecting damage

[unique wing]

Hey! Just wondering how (Aura of Decay) Blood Font and Bubonic Aura interact. Is there a bleed equivalent to plague?

[sharp sluice]

Has it been confirmed that the trex relic wont work with single minion with inheritance of the erased necklace?

[placid plinth]

I'm sorry, can you rephrase the question? What are the specific effects you want to ask about?

You can simulate trex interactions on the current game client by using the relic which grants you a crossbow minion as they function exactly the same.

[sharp sluice]

Will the necklace swap between giving the buff between the trex minion and you bear or sabertooth companion or will it prioritize your companion.

[placid plinth]

They have no interaction. There is no conversion for Plague into a physical ailment.

[placid plinth]

The necklace don't know the term companions. It selects a random minion each time regardless of if they are a companion or not.

[placid plinth]

because the armor reduction scales off of dexterity it wouldn't appear in the ailment base. It does reduce armor.

[placid plinth]

sorry, update, I was wrong, it does affect armor

[sharp sluice]

Interesting heard from some sources it priorititizes permanent minion vs non permanent but I guess in this case both would be considered permanent.

Thanks again for the response 😁

[sterile barn]

I wanted to ask this exact same thing. Please answer this mikey

[blazing vortex]

Since we were not getting any replies i hunted down a thornshell shield for myself and resetted all my passives + unequipped everything except the shield, and the stat "damage dealt to attackers" does increase when i increase my attunement
So I would assume that yes, it does scale the damage from the Thicket of Blinding armor, which is awesome cus then i have definitely found a build that interests me (depending on how far the armor deals damage, it only says "all enemies facing you" so we will see)

[wanton mica]

Does swapping Detonating Arrow to cold with Frostfang Arrow cause Detonating Charge to also get converted?

[sterile barn]

Thanks Erika. I really hope Mike or anyone from EHG answers this. I'm making a build for it but I don't understand that line correctly. Please Mike or anyone, let us know

[blazing vortex]

Yeah same, even tho it SEEMS like attunement scales the damage from the armor if you use that shield, it would be nice to get an official answer

[placid plinth]

it's on my list to check, I just haven't been on a character with that while trying to get a last second fix in

[sterile barn]

Is that answer in reference to throne shield?

[placid plinth]

everything that hasn't been answered yet

also, new item, throne shield

[sinful gust]

Ah I wasn't sure if the reflect stat updated on the character sheet with Attunement and Thornshell, but when it does, it should work for the armor just fine.

I assume it's worded this way to exclude the %damage reflected stat then and only work with the flat reflected dmg to attackers stat.

[heady onyx]

Does scorpion inherit phys-converted maelstrom's "more phys per stack" effect?

[sterile barn]

Autocorrect got me here. My resistances to autocorrect were not maxed out yet

[vague holly]

Are we getting corruption leaderboard?

[placid plinth]

not in Season 3 (would have been in the patch notes)

[blazing vortex]

yeah exactly, and since the lastepochtools website DOESNT increase your flat reflect damage with attunement i was worried it didnt increase your stat directly, but it does it in-game so i really hope it works, cus then i'll have a lazy "things die just by looking at you" build xD

[pine dome]

Please, this is not the place to have a conversation
Ask your questions and wait for Mike (or someone else) to answer
Special mention to @sterile barn If you want build advice come to #🐺┃primalist not in the dev channel

[fossil dune]

I am taking full credit for frogs due to bugging you guys to put in a frog item for the past 5 years. You cannot stop me.

[manic crown]

How is the Bluefeather Band mana calculated with "less mana cost for spell skills"?
Also would it work on minion skills that have the Spell tag?

[placid plinth]

ok, this is so hard to test but yes, when I cranked my attunement into the stratusphere with both those items equipped, I was killing training dummies very fast.

@blazing vortex for visibility

@sterile barn for visibility

[crude plover]

Multiplicative, and if it's a minion spell tag no

[trail kestrel]

is there plans for a new roadmap after release of season 3? or is this one still the relevant "future" for the game
the last one i recall was this one - https://prnt.sc/SnzU9twzSE5Y

[low summit]

Task Completed @placid plinth

[placid plinth]

sorry, I didn't see the edit, this doesn't necessarily imply that you can't ever get a T8 champion affix.

[placid plinth]

the stuff in that "future" section are still relevant. Don't let the order imply anything though. I really hope we do an updated roadmap but I don't know if we will. I assumed we would have done a newer one already.

[umbral scarab]

Completely missed the new woven echo that was pointed out to me!

[blazing vortex]

awesome! thanks for testing and confirming it, will try to make a "dont look at me or you will die" build in season 3, hope it will be somewhat viable 😄

[placid plinth]

no

[manic crown]

Bummer. So for a calculation example it's something like 50/1.3 and that *0.46 from 54% bluefeather band? 😅

[crude plover]

If something costs 100 mana, and you have 20% cost efficiency plus bluefeather it would be (100/1.2)*0.46 = 38.3

[placid plinth]

like just the base damage explosion that happens? yes that gets converted to cold too.

[rich basin]

If I have zero increased mana regen with "The Butcher's Crown" equipped does the health/mana gain on hit per 12% inc mana regen, do I gain zero mana/health on hit?

[placid plinth]

Throne Shield now has a friend Throne Axe

[crude plover]

correct

[manic crown]

Pretty blunt for an axe 😉

[low summit]

Blunt blade hurts more than a sharp one.

[feral surge]

does that scale with melee damage or with thronening damage?

[placid plinth]

Yes, Health and Mana gained on hit per 12% increased mana regen requires more than 0 increased mana regen to grant you health/mana. It's like if you had +1 health per strength. You would get 0 health if you had 0 strength.

Butcher's Crown does not set your increased mana regen stat to 0. It prevents mana regeneration.

[delicate osprey]

Will there be an app of Last Epoch Tools later?

[placid plinth]

throneing damage obviously

[crude plover]

LE tools isn't developed or managed by ehg

it's third party

[wanton mica]

Sorry just trying to figure it out: Detonating arrow has two parts to it, the embeds part (2 lightning damage) and the explosion part (also 2 lightning damage). When i read the Frostfang Arrow node it makes it seems like the conversion only happens to the embed part, which seems weird. Can you confirm that cold conversion works for both the embed part and the explosion part?

[placid plinth]

Yes.

You can test this in game right now if you want.

[sinful gust]

Ok thank you for the clarification and I guess that also confirms that dummies have eyes to get blinded by the body armor. One of life's mysterious questions answered once and for all!

[placid plinth]

stationary enemies like dummies and spires are always considered to be facing the player

[hexed stratus]

If you increase the charge speed of smelter's wrath by getting more area of effect on skills, does the increased charge speed reduce the effectiveness of the nodes for Smelters (e.g. Heavy Strike, Tempered blows, Stinging steel, Whetstone) which state something along the lines of "Smelter's wrath deals more damage (multiplicative with other modifiers) for each second channeled." -- because there's a node for smelter's wrath, Blacksmith's Breadth, that states "Smelter's wrath charges up faster to reach its maximum area sooner. This does not affect smelter's wrath's damage while charging."

[placid plinth]

I remember investigating this and I'm pretty sure you can find the answer by searching this channel. I'm pretty sure that all effects which scale off of the charging duration are really scaling off the charging % so if you shorten or lengthen the process it adapts but I can't remember.

[whole siren]

Apologies for the repeat question but I fear it might have been missed 🙂
#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[heady onyx]

Does the new cold conversion for Marrow Shards also convert Bone Splinters?

[leaden iron]

Do Wildfire Wisp casts count as being cast by the wisp or cast by the player? Or more to the point, do they count as direct casts (the way e.g. Falcon using triggered Acid Flash counts as direct)?

[verbal pine]

hey mike wheres that void shield you teased i think about a month ago? it didnt make it for Season 3?

[hexed stratus]

Thanks for the quick reply, Mike. I had already done some due diligence before, to make sure it wasn't asked the same in the past. Glad you had done some investigations and remember them -- I just did a painful search through this discord channel for "charging" and came across two questions both by Misha about similar things related to Smelter's wrath, back in 2023. (#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message and #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message)

There wasn't any clear answer to their questions regarding reduction of charge time / increased charge speed affecting dmg and not specifically from additions of AOE affixes/stats for smelter's. Their questions also did not address my question regarding the affect of charge speed reduction on those passive nodes I referenced that increase dmg per second that smelter's wrath is charged -- smelter's wrath was also changed since back then, so I wanted to clarify again... based on what you're saying though, it seems like even if we reduced smelter's wrath's max charge time from 2 seconds to 1 second, the "Heavy Strike" node which gives +25% more dmg per second, would still give the full 50% at full charge time of 1 second, rather than the generic 2 second max charge time?

[timid fjord]

it was the new art for bulwark of the last abyss unique

[feral surge]

you can pretty easily test that with the soldering strike node. put one point in it and see if it applies 2 ignites or 4

[hexed stratus]

Not sure if all the nodes work the same though, but after testing with this node and AOE, increased charge speed DOES REDUCE the effectiveness of channeled per second soldering strike node 🙁

[feral surge]

That matches with how I remember the behavior. The nodes that say per second channeled care about the actual time channeled.

[pine chasm]

For what it's worth, the skill was recently updated in S2, and I think the patch notes are pretty clear that only the base effect scales with charge % and all other effects scale with actual time spent channeling:

The baseline effect now grants more damage based on charge, up to 100% more damage at maximum charge (from 50% more hit damage per second spent charging). This means that reducing your charge time will no longer reduce the benefit received from this effect. Effects in the tree which are “for each second chanelled” remain unchanged.

[feral surge]

Does Carrion of Creation only convert global ignite, poison etc. chances to bleed chance, or also conditional ones like from specialization trees?

[crude plover]

both

[grizzled crypt]

hey the scorpion changes mean you can't take the shock nova node and the cold blooded node? for cold melee attacks and lighting spell companion skill

[feral surge]

Does the base "deals double damage to cursed enemies" from Harvest apply to ailments applied by Harvest?

[pine chasm]

No

[sacred oar]

Does the "Aura of Voracity" node on the summon spriggan tree also give the bonus to minions? for example if I have a scorpion will my minions get the increased area of effect?

[desert sleet]

I believe so. The healing aura says that it affects "all nearby allies" and your other minions would be allies of the spriggan so making that grant additional effects should also apply to the same targets.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/spriggan_ability

[desert sleet]

Yes, if you take both Cold-Blooded and Thunder Stinger, then Thunder Stinger will have no effect.

From the alt text for Thunder Stinger:

This node has no effect if Cold-Blooded is allocated.

Does abomination's "more damage with cooldown abilities" apply to its "aura of rot"? It does technically have a 1s cooldown, but is that the actual condition for the damage to apply?

Hi just wondering if there's an update on this #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message, muffin said they were chasing that up

[desert sleet]

The 1.3 change was just fixing the description; it's always worked that way.

From a designer:

That node has always given more hit damage, as that type of effect can only be applied as hit damage, the description was just incorrect.

[desert sleet]

I asked and it doesn't apply to Aura of Rot

[cosmic crag]

Was there a confirmation on whether a t5t5+sealedt7 item will count as magic for the purpose of Harmony? I remember earlier there were 2 conflicting clarifications.
also has it always been up to 25% per magic on the multiplier?

[pine chasm]

The confirmation was that T7 + T7 + sealed T7 counts. A set affix is allowed as well.
No, it was originally like 35%, it's currently been nerfed to 16-20%.

[gentle thorn]

Some datamining had it upped to 20-25%, so possible EHG is still toying with it

[pine chasm]

Dammitt noted that that was an outdated localization, it's 20% max, but yeah still nothing is final until it's final

[desert sleet]

From the alt text on Harmony of the First:

Magic items are all items that have one or two non-sealed affixes, excluding unique, set, and legendary items.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzDMBYCYHYg

Can be exalted affixes (exalted is not technically a rarity, just an affix tier).
Can be reforged set affixes (items do not change to set rarity with these, they just count for the set bonus).

I think the confusion stemmed from how both reforged set and exalted affixes have custom logic in their item coloring and rarity condition for ease of matching in filters and stash priority, which makes them seem like rarities, but they are not actual rarities. For non-unique items, rarity is just a count of non-sealed affixes. (0 = common; 1-2 = magic; 3-4 = rare)

[placid plinth]

The patch will launch at 16-20%

[inner quest]

Any follow-up to this question (Thicket of Blinding Light + Thornshell working with Manifest Armor)? #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message (mostly asking because the last message I've seen RE: unique effects was from ~2.5 years ago, "most unique items work with manifest armor but some unique effects do not")

[placid plinth]

Parts of each will work.
Thornshell's increased reflect per attunement won't transfer over and even if it did, your Manifest Armor has 0 attunement so it wouldn't do anything anyways.

Thicket's damage per phys res won't transfer over.
Thicket's damage every 0.5s won't transfer over.
Same with more damage reflected to bosses and more armor vs blinded.

[zenith isle]

if we buying primordial items do they roll LP like gamblers or something or do we have to nemesis them?

[placid plinth]

either

[fluid wharf]

Heya. In this patch have we fixed the hammers from sentinel despawning when they hit walls in tombs or cemeteries?

[placid plinth]

If that design change wasn't listed in the patch notes then it's probably not coming. One of the downsides to orbiting hammers is they hit things and vanish. Some walls are exceptions to this like the walls on Harton's ship but most walls should make them pop.

[eternal zinc]

What is that mean?
#news message

[low summit]

You'll find out

[dapper flare]

For the "Friend of the Tempest" node, only native minion lightning attacks work or those converted from physical, ice... are supposed to work too?

[cosmic crag]

does hydra arc's (primordial bow) 3x repeat attacks can target and/or hit the same single target?

Also, I assume the repeats doesn't count as you directly using the skill?

[hexed cypress]

When pvp???? (Joke) (kinda)

[pine chasm]

Friends of the Tempest looks at the minion skill's tags, and if the minion has a tag matching your current conversion of Gathering Storm then all of that minion's hits can trigger the extra storm stack.
(For example, if you convert Gathering Storm to physical, all minions with the physical tag can proc Friends of the Tempest)

[jaunty obsidian]

How does Wildfire Embers interact with Runic Invocation? Does it recast the invocation you cast (say Hydrahedron), or does it re-trigger Runic Invocation (which may now be empty)?

[subtle kindle]

dragons

[desert sleet]

The repeat attacks will each pick a different nearby enemy from each other and they do not count as directly using the skill.

[hexed cypress]

Any thought about "AUTOMATICALLY DRINK HEALTH POTIONS WHEN BELT IS FULL" be considered a use for items that care about it, such as herkir's vessel or other belts and experimental mods

When mousing over the potion tooltip it says "Potions can be automatically used when below full health", "This can be changed in the settings menu" - I can't find this setting, only the drink when full belt.

[eternal zinc]

? It seems you know something, can you tell me please

[placid plinth]

In the settings you can turn off the automatic drinking of potions you pick up when your belt is full and you are below full HP. It's either on or off.

[void solar]

Escape -> Settings -> Gameplay section -> scroll down a little.

[placid plinth]

Yea, that

[void solar]

It's a setting they added for players who are using a low life build or people who don't want potions to be auto consumed when you walk over them. Post your idea about a different setting in the #1210282176680169562 in one of the existing categories.

[fossil dune]

Btw who at EHG was playing Diablo 3 recently that made them come up with Legends Entwined?

[gentle thorn]

Regarding the new "health leech also drains" mechanic, is it "true damage" as the leech is coming from damage that was already mitigated?
Or monsters mitigate that drain a 2nd time?

[hexed cypress]

I wrote that line verbatim, I don't think I'm understanding what you are suggesting, I'm asking if it's intentional that "drink" is not "use" for the purpose of items like "Jungle Queen's Chaps of Holding"
Furthermore, please confirm that I am misinterpreting the potion tooltip where it says "Potions can be automatically used when below full health", "This can be changed in the settings menu" -

The belt being full, and me being below full health are not the same thing, thank you for your consideration

[river flume]

hi, i have a question about Thicket of Blinding Light.
"...enemies facing you..."
Does this mean that enemies who notice the player and are looking at here will be affected regardless of distance?
Or is it limited to short distances?

[valid oyster]

I already put it in the skills & masteries suggestions/feedback, but It should be noted that there should be an updated description to the Juggernaut node in warcry that states: If you have Totemic Heart, the Warcry Totem becomes invulnerable for 1 second whenever it casts Warcry.
#1210289045310017536 message

[eternal zinc]

Why EHG post 2 same posts on twitter?

[rain seal]

This has probably been asked a ton... Are there plans to improve/modify the co-op experience? Like shared echo reward types?

[placid plinth]

I doubt many of us are actually playing D3 recently but it's a pretty obvious way to modify set items in general. Also not a very forgettable option.

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure, most post mitigation things are.

[placid plinth]

I don't understand what you are asking for. If you would like us to consider adding something to the game, please put it in #1210282176680169562 .

Do you mean that you would like it to trigger effects which happen when you use a potion when you automatically use one when walking over them?

[placid plinth]

Enemies do not need to be agro'd to the player. The distance is about 10m ish from my testing.

[placid plinth]

Please do not cross-post suggestions here. Thank you for putting it in #1210282176680169562.

[placid plinth]

Someone must have made a mistake

[placid plinth]

The first version of the multiplayer monolith had that. It was exploited within seconds. If we find an alternative way to prevent those exploits then it is an option to change.

[placid plinth]

no eta

[placid plinth]

It should recast the specific invocation which triggered it, not runic invocation with current runes.

[placid plinth]

When your minion uses an ability which currently has a lightning tag and you have 1-15 storm stacks, you have an 8% per point up to 40% chance to gain a storm stack.

If Gathering Storm is converted to cold the above is true but requires the minion to use a cold tag ability.

Same with physical.

It doesn't matter what the ability tags are by default. All that matters is what the tags are when the ability is used.

[gentle thorn]

Question about the node "Hollow Lich": if i have 4% spell damage leeched (lich node), 5% hit damage leeched (lich node) and then 2% of bleed damage leeched (valdyr), would it give (4+5+2)x6=66% increased generic damage?
Or it would only consider each type of leech for each type of damage? So in that case, a melee hit would only get 5x6=30% increased damage, then the bleed 2x6=12%

[hexed cypress]

I’m not a game dev, you guys are pros not me. Just trying to make sense of a game setting.

Using Herkil’s Vessel, Orion’s belt, Jungle Queen, Experimental CDR etc…

I just want to know if I should or should not expect to get one of those “on potion use” effects if I walk over a potion while my settings is to drink automatically when belt is full.
(And my belt is full)

If I am messing something up by mistake, that’s all

[floral widget]

Curious how Cooldown Reduction actually works like if there's a formula and whether there's diminishing returns? I know the general "100% CDR = half the CD" but that's not exactly clear. If I have 216% CDR on a 4 sec CD what's my CD, ya know?

[timid fjord]

SkillFinalCooldown = SkillBaseCooldown / (1+(#% increased Cooldown Recovery Speed/100)).
In your example it would 4/(1+(216/100)) -> 4/(1+2.16) -> 4/3.16 = ~1.26 sec

[cosmic crag]

word around the office is that the frenzy totem node that allows sabertooth to double cast flurry swipes is bugged and currently does nothing.
Is this unfixable in the upcoming patch?

really a bummer that this could be twice in a row that a build I leaguestart has a bug that cuts its damage, last time was the forge guard 2h bug

[floral widget]

Appreciate the swift response, thanks

[final cave]

Hey Mike - what if the invocation itself also casts RI as a side effect? Is the wisp snapshotting the invocation or is the second RI going to use the current runes?

[boreal grail]

hi, very happy with an update on beastmaster companion (as i've been waiting it since even before 1.0). I have question on summon scorpion and avalanche. How does scorpion behavior if I take avalanche's Mountain peak? Does the scorpion will stop attack and channeling the avalanche?

[maiden brook]

it doesn't actually cast avalanche proper. it just causes a large boulder from avalanche to drop

[boreal grail]

so will it ignore other talent related to mountain peak? like unyielding storm? or will it work with crater?

[pine dome]

@jaunty pier or

!support

[fiery lily]

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

[blissful swan]

I'm guessing the ancient sabertooths summoned by the node won't be able to trigger upheaval as well right? Would be mega busted otherwise xD

[timid fjord]

no, they cannot. you are right

[pine dome]

Does this node have any effect if Upheaval is used by my Sabertooth?

[kind hatch]

so i was theory crafting a poison skeleton army build for s3 and I feel the skele army is still underwhelming to its counterparts and everyone that plays necro knows they just want a bunch of minions smashing content. and the skeleton rogues just dont quite have enough poison chance and ive tried a item [serpant's milk] which makes no since why you would make it 200% poison chance on minion hit and [90%] overall less damage to minion poison dmg. it seems to makes the item pretty much useless in the game. maybe i dont see it but 500k+ to 60k is there a reason why this item hasn't been returned to maybe retuned? surely being s3 seems to be minion season it might give love to necro diversity builds being i see no minion army builds being anywhere new S-B tier.

[pine chasm]

Poison skeleton rogues is one of the top necro builds in S2 and is only getting buffed in S3.
Serpent's milk is not intended for scaling poison minions at all - it's a little dated, but it's mostly used for minions that convert poison chance to something else like frostbite, common in primalist.
If you have feedback though, the place it will be seen is #1210281911872786482 (top post explains how to post).

[opaque falcon]

Booted up the game in offline on current patch to test, and it at least on this current version of the game, doesn't scale at all with attack speed and has a hard capped animation time that can't be reduced.
Which makes sense as that's what the tooltip states.
What's weird though is that even with 0 cooldown on Dancing via cheats the animation is so long that there's no difference in speed beyond like 45% CDR at all.
If that functionality is intentional, then honestly that skill is quite a bit worse than I imagined even after the "buff" next patch. As all it would mean is you can free up one affix slot on boots/belt.

[hollow agate]

It is the same with net skill. Net is supposed to scale on Attack speed but it doesn't because of animation caps it with a very low amount of att speed around 50%.

[pine dome]

Hi Mike,
Do this scale all the way smoothly or by chunk of 12% ?
Also

[gentle thorn]

Sorry if I missed it, but couldnt find it in my search here
Was it ever confirmed if the reflect primordial chest is dealing reflect damage, ignoring area DR?

[lone seal]

Hi guys, i was wondering about the new bleed conversion for Aura of Decay with the Blood Font node. Do the self inflected bleeds scale in any way except with bleed duration ? Cause it feels like even a few dozens of bleeds are far from being dangerous with physical res cap if they only do their base 53 damage each.

[timid fjord]

they do scale with your stats, thats why aura of decay gives you 50% less dmg taken from your own aura of decay and has the less poison dmg taken node which converts to less physical dmg taken with blood font.

[lone seal]

Okay, thanks a lot ! I guess i do need to get bleed immunity even for "just" 20-30 bleeds then

[undone fable]

would the reflect dmg to attackers dmg be scaled by global increase or more dmg stats like paladin %more dmg on full hp?

[pine dome]

No

Reflect isnt affected by any Inc Dmg or More Dmg

[undone fable]

thanks vlad!

[hollow agate]

I will add that reflect is true damage, it bypass the 90% damage reduction monsters have at lvl 100, so when comparing numbers with classic skill damage, you have to take this x10 factor into account.

[undone fable]

thanks, i see.

[pine dome]

When the US wakes up ^^

[fleet galleon]

Also depending on the stuff that was asked it might take some more time

[strong path]

Question for anyone who knows how this will work, if I spec the new scorpion node to have it proc avalanche the spec avalanche to proc earthquakes do the earthquakes scale with the scorpions stats or my stats, along the same lines will the mana cost of the earthquakes come from my mana or not?

[woven basalt]

On the primordial Fangs of Berserker.
Some stats says: Improved by Increased effect of Frenzy
and other says: Magnified by Increased effect of Frenzy
What does this mean?

[wooden linden]

For the new Army of Skin boots do we need Summon Skeleton on our bar to proc this line?

"When Flay kills an enemy or hits a boss or rare enemy you gain a stack of Excoriation and have a 6% chance to cast Summon Skeleton if not at maximum skeletons"

[pine chasm]

They all are multiplied by your overall effect of frenzy multiplier.
The one that says "magnified" instead of "improved" is the only negative effect, so they probably wanted to avoid saying improve when it means you're taking more damage.

[prisma dune]

I had a question about the new Whetstone Gavel and Forged Weapons. The Gavel says " If you have an Exalted Weapon in your offhand its stats have (90 to 100)% increased effectiveness"
Would the increased effectiveness apply to the forged weapons ie if I have an affix that says +10 fire damge on the off hand would the forged weapons get +20 fire damage or +10 fire damage?

[unborn beacon]

hey there, ive been wondering how to put this question for a while and dont want to sound to negative about it.

Do minions getting devoured by abomination count as minion death?

[unkempt laurel]

For Flame Reave, does the flat damage from the Frenzied Flame node apply +32 to both the Fire damage and the Lightning damage if you were to take Rolling Thunder?

[eternal zinc]

Will all points from current passive trees/current skills reset soon because lich & necromancer passive trees have updated?
Background: #❔┃ask-the-community message It come from my legacy necromancer.

[kind crystal]

Does abomination de-spawn if you change your skill bar ?

I have heard contradicting things on these from people that belive if you summon an abomination with skeletons then remove skeletons from bar it dies.

[fleet galleon]

No
But if you change your skills so you'd suddenly have less minions than what was used to summon it
Like you go from 3 skeleton mages to max 2 it unsummons

[kind crystal]

So I guess if your using 4 minions to summon abomination that don't have a skill tree and then remove them it does not kill abomination. But if you mess with skill tree to change the max number for them it will.

[lyric wigeon]

Do Carrion of Creation gloves convert Poison chance granted by Heart seeker's Deep rust node from armor shred?

[desert sleet]

Yes, abom absorbing on creation or devouring after creation counts as the minion dying for on minion death proc effects.

[kindred zealot]

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

[desert sleet]

Yes, if a passive tree is changed significantly in a patch, some or all of the passive tree choices will automatically be reset.

[desert sleet]

Yes, "consumed" minions die and proc on minion death effects.

[worthy stump]

for the anouncements why not use hammertime which will automatically convert to the timezone of whoever is looking at the message https://r.3v.fi/discord-timestamps/ <t:1755627840:R>

[prisma dune]

I had a question about the new Whetstone Gavel and Forged Weapons. The Gavel says " If you have an Exalted Weapon in your offhand its stats have (90 to 100)% increased effectiveness"
Would the increased effectiveness apply to the forged weapons ie if I have an affix that says +10 fire damge on the off hand would the forged weapons get +20 fire damage or +10 fire damage?

[eternal zinc]

it's the same for skill trees too? (double questions here)

[desert sleet]

Yes, any tree that is changed to the point the previously allocations would no longer be valid: class, skill, or weaver.

[kindred zealot]

In Death Seal's tree, the conversion nodes Frozen Form and Corporeal Cascade don't specify that they swap the Necrotic tag out for the respective Cold or Physical tag.

As a result, in LEPlanner, taking Frozen Form doesn't cause Death Seal to count as a Cold Spell for e.g. getting +1 to Cold Spells from the Invoker's Set 3-set bonus.

I'm curious how it actually functions in-game. (Is it just missing tooltip text or does it really not swap the tag? Is LEPlanner wrong?)

[keen vale]

Is there a cap on how much negative resistance enemies can have, through combination of resistance reduction, shred, or penetration effects?

[eternal zinc]

alright I need to spec my weaver tree again for characters whose using that

[humble sundial]

How are skills with multiply tags handled for damage calculation?
Is every components calculated separately or is the skill/ailment lumped together factoring any applicable stats?
Ex : you have 12% fire penetration on your gear and you proc witchfire. Is the penetration applied to the entire 1200 damage (600fire, 600necro) or does it only benefit the fire portion?
Same reflection : You have elemental damage over time % on your belt. Will the mod apply to witchfire as a whole or just to the fire portion?

[crude plover]

Only the fire portion for both

[crude plover]

No, prob like float min or something

[humble sundial]

Thanks!

[desert sleet]

I'm not super familiar w/ the nuances of Forged Weapons so I asked one of the designers and this is what they said:

The stats won't be doubled for Forged Weapons or Manifest Armor, as special properties don't apply to them

[crude plover]

They also don't wear equipment even if they inherit stats from equipment. So they can never have an offhand weapon even if they did get the property

[unkempt laurel]

Just wanted to bump this and add another question: does Rolling thunder double dip with Infused Weapon and/or Prismatic Blade?

[crude plover]

Yes

For the first two

No to prismatic blade

[lyric wigeon]

bumping this up ^^

[crude plover]

Yes

[opaque falcon]

Ill ask again because it was hours ago, but is there some other hidden change to dancing strikes or are the changes in the patch notes just effectively making it so you can get to the animation breakpoint faster.

[unkempt laurel]

thank you!

[crude plover]

If there's nothing else in the notes or database sites then there probably aren't any other changes.

Like 90%+ chance

[opaque falcon]

😭
Yea I hoped that wouldn't be the case. Was hoping they could look at the skill in some way to make it scale the animation with CDR or something.
As it doesn't make sense to me at least to do that change as listed and then have the skill still act the same as it would at 50% CDR (Achievable right now with 1 affix + CDR item) and infinite CDR.

[desert sleet]

It will get the relevant tag (cold or physical) and scale based on that tag instead of necrotic.

[serene mango]

can upheaval be triggered by ancestral sabertooths ?

[flint bloom]

No

[desert sleet]

The download goes live at the same time as the patch, since there is an offline mode.

[void solar]

Daylight savings time shenanigans. Some people mentioned the timestamps were showing an hour off where they were located. EHG lists the times as Central US, which is currently in daylight savings CDT -5 UTC. While Central standard CST is -6 UTC.

Here, I tried to make discord timestamps, but due to daylight savings shenanigans this may be slightly off where you are:

The day before, August 20, there will be 24 hours of server downtime beginning at 11 AM CDT (UTC-5).
This should convert that into your time zone: <t:1755705600:F>.
Note that if you play offline, you can set the game to true offline mode to continue playing while servers are down.

Then on Season 3 launch day, August 21, servers go live at 11 AM CDT (UTC-5).
This should again convert that into your time zone: <t:1755792000:F>.

[desert sleet]

No, that can summon skeletons without the skill on your bar. Generally, effects that proc skills don't require the skill to be on your bar.

[feral surge]

Unless the Skill Node specifically states "X Skill has to be on your Bar for this to work"

[desert sleet]

The Avalanche nodes behind Mountain Peak (including Crater) do not affect the single Avalanche boulder that Scorpion can proc, because those all rely on the channeled cast and the scorpion is not casting/channeling your Avalanche skill, it is just spawning a single large boulder specifically. The rest of the Avalanche tree that change large boulders or do things when large boulders hit work with Scorpion procced Avalanche boulders.

[manic crown]

Can Upheaval be triggered by Sabertooths Flurry Swipes?

[desert sleet]

[charred mason]

From the new armour that has been teased "Thicket of Blinding Light":

"Every 0.5 seconds you Blind all enemies facing you and deal Damage to them equal to your Damage Reflected to Attackers stat
Scales with your Damage Reflected to Attackers stat not with the actual damage that has been reflected to attackers. Does not scale with percent damage reflected."

Would this apply ailments? Or is it similar to normal reflect that (from what I understand) doesn't apply ailments.

does Wildfire Embers also spread your self-Ignites, such as from Immolator's Oblation?

Every second while in combat your ignites are spread among nearby enemies

(46% to 100%) Chance to Ignite yourself when you use a Fire or Necrotic Skill

[crude plover]

Think enemies is the key word here

(I'm not sure but I highly doubt it would, both from the wording and how self inflicted ailments work)

[edgy shell]

I'd still like clarification from a dev ideally on the ambiguity 🙏 , since "among enemies" doesn't necessarily mean it has to originate from them, could just mean it spreads to them (from any origin)

[desert sleet]

No, you are not an enemy so the wisp will not spread your self ignite.

does Soulfire relic (hungering souls ignite instead of possessing) let hungering souls hit the same enemy, since hungering souls says "Enemies cannot be possessed by multiple souls at once" but it's no longer possessing?

[feral surge]

That line just means possess doesn't stack. Hungering Souls still can't shotgun with soulfire relic. Only the curse of perseverance staff allows that.

Ok, wasn't clear to me from the text itself, thanks for clarifying

[cosmic crag]

does thicket of blinding light bypass the monster damage reduction? (87% DR thingy)

[pine chasm]

You can imprint anything that fits in the slot, but imprints can only generate items that can drop anywhere - so if the particular primordial is a random drop, then yes (I don't think any are though).

[charred quail]

up to this question ^
i feel like it should be very important to note in the description if Dancing Strikes is essentially useless with CDR beyond 50% due to animation gating - and if it is intended at all, the buff is much less significant if you take into consideration this big limit

[crude plover]

Does legend entwined grant the "complete set" stats if you only have 2 out of 3 of a set? as in you're getting a set bonus but you don't have the "complete" set bonus.

[lunar pond]

Is Thicket of Blinding Light's auto proc also increased by Thornshell and the increased damage to rares/bosses? Sorry, the wording is a lil confusing

[desert sleet]

No, you need to complete the set to get the "per complete set" stats. So with Legends Entwined, you need to wear 2 of a 3 part set to complete it.

[crude plover]

that's what I thought, thanks for confirming

[humble sundial]

Is Fleeting Shade meant to have a net value of zero? Unless I'm wrong, end result of something * 0,4 * 2,5 is ... the same thing you started with 🤔 It only makes your shade duration shorter so it could be argued that you can refresh shade sooner, but in reality shades are either made permanent for pets, popped with Chthonic Fissure or made to last for Baneful and Torment Beacon. Am I missing something?
Can't insert snaps so : it's -60% duration and +150% damage for shades.

Similar issue on Wildfires. Going 5/5 is actually a net decrease in dmg output 🫠
Rank 1 : 1,18 * 0,9 = 1,062 (6,2% increase)
Rank 2 : 1,36 * 0,8 = 1,088 (8,8% increase)
Rank 3 : 1,54 * 0,7 = 1,078 (7,8% increase, we're losing steam)
Rank 4 : 1,72 * 0,6 = 1,032 (3,2% increase, uhoh!)
Rank 5 : 1,9 * 0,5 = 0,95 (5% damage loss)

[somber trench]

Apologies if this has been asked, but are their any plans to create a modding framework for Last Epoch?

[crude plover]

Wildfires is meant for combustion

it's basically just a way to reduce the duration

they're not meant as damage nodes, they have damage to make up for reduced duration (since that's also reduced damage)

[desert sleet]

The alt text for both items describes what each specifically applies to or is modified by.

I ordered the alt text screenshots them based on how the stats/effects combine:

All sources of the Damage Reflected to Attackers stat are added up, then any sources of "increase" to that stat (i.e. Thornshell) are combined and multiplied to this value and the result is your character sheet Damage Reflected to Attackers value.

Thicket of Blinding Light deals your character sheet value of the Damage Reflected to Attackers stat every 0.5sec to enemies facing you.

Thicket separately multiplies any form of reflect damage when it's dealt to bosses/rares (flat from being hit, % from being hit, or the auto damage every 0.5sec) due to the more damage reflected to bosses/rares modifier.

[final cave]

Apologies but this answer confused me. Did you mean "no, you need 3 of 3 to trigger Legends Entwined"?

[desert sleet]

If you are wearing:

• Legends Entwined
• Zerrick's Boots
  You have the 2 set Zerrick's bonus active, but you have 0 "complete sets" so are not getting the +1 skill, all res, or all attributes from Legends Entwined
  If you are wearing:
• Legends Entwined
• Zerrick's Boots
• Zerrick's Belt
  You have the 2 and 3 set Zerrick's bonuses active, and you now have 1 "complete set" so are getting the +1 skill, all res, and all attributes from Legends Entwined

[lunar pond]

Ah, thanks for spelling it out for me, my brain aint the best 💙 Even more excited now

[desert sleet]

Heh, I can't blame you, it took me a few reads to think thru how all of them combined since there's so much nuance in the alt text 😛 Excited to see what thorn builds you create!

[humble sundial]

I could see that as a stand alone skill, but in reality Combustion is used with Return Below and the shade is never left to expire and pop on it's own.
A player could easily think that node is a boon without realizing it's a malus outside of the specific case you mentionned.

[meager bridge]

Will Kermode's Cage ever get reworked to fully convert werebear to cold? Would love a polar bear

[flint bloom]

You can always throw it in #1210282176680169562

[feral shadow]

Will we be able to toggle minion stances (assassinate mode) individually for each minion or is it a sweeping toggle affecting all minions?

[gentle thorn]

all

[rain shard]

How big is the patch? Cant wait for you to start doing preloads, us internet impaired gamers really get rinsed

[crude plover]

Probably a few GB like always. And the reason they don't do preloads is because that would just be a launch for offline

[rain shard]

Require at least one login job done. People farming monos by the time I can actually play is disheartening

[fossil dune]

People are farmin monos two hours into launch pretty regularly

[rain shard]

Exactly why spending that long downloading the game sucks

[ivory dragon]

life do be rough sometimes

[final cave]

Do we reckon Krafton can be leveraged to provide support for future preloading options?

Not to mention... merch store? Eh. Eh.

[lunar sable]

mage rework season 4?

[placid plinth]

Given the existence of offline mode, preloading is not going to be offered.

[placid plinth]

unlikely, our primary focus going forward is on exploring the classes that are still missing skills. However, if you'd like to see it, please use #1210282176680169562.

[red vale]

Hey Mike, in the Marrow Shards Tree the node Marrow Hunger gives you 9% 'Physical Leech' - how is that recorded on the stat sheet? is it 1 stat line as is reads, or is it recorded as 9% Melee Physical leech + 9% Spell Physical leech, etc? Wondering if it double (or more) dips with the Hollow Lich passive..

[timid fjord]

You have mentioned before to look at the ones still missing skills like bladedancer to be the more likely targets, but would this also include rogue as base class since others have 8-9 skills unlocked with character level and 4 skills unlocked with base passive tree.
Meanwhile rogue has 7 and 3 skills in those categories respectfully.
Do you think those slots might be filled in the future?

[final cave]

I appreciate that is the current stance but if technological solutions were available (particularly where the cost could be offset by a larger entity getting licensing discounts), I presume the stance could change?

[cunning rover]

Does the Tachychardia node on Death Seal release a wave of death when you use a skill that replaces Evade?

[desert sleet]

Yes, casting evade replacements still counts as casting evade for procs

[desert sleet]

tl;dr no, it doesn't double dip.

Most stats in LE can have one or more tags applied, such as melee, spell, physical, fire, etc. A stat with multiple tags is not multiple instances of the same stat, but just a single value with a set of flags that must be matched for that stat to apply. +9% Physical Leech is just +9% Leech but with a Physical tag so it only heals when you deal physical damage. Hollow Lich doesn't care about the tags of the leech stat you have, just how much total leech stat you have of any tag (besides minion, because that's not your leech).

[granite nimbus]

Does cooldown reduction affect passive skill? For example, Lagon's Answer in Shaman passive tree.

[timid fjord]

only affects skills that have cooldown that go into your skill bar

How to ask an suggestion/feedback will let game designers easier to understand my ideas and what I want?

Background: I'm bad at maths.

[blissful vault]

I know devs mention in the past they were ok with numlocking skills (which tbh is based) but I wonder if there are any plans to rework? Skill that often sees a need to be unlocked maybe should turn into a toggle? Or provide the same locking function in game to bypass 3rd party?

[placid plinth]

Leave the math out of it. Focus on grammar instead. Keep things high level.

[placid plinth]

An arms race to attempt to stop players from doing it will waste everyone's time. Hardware solutions exist which would be almost undetectable with a touch of randomness. We are not interested in encouraging the behavior with an in game system though.

[nimble smelt]

Hi Mike. Short question regarding Wildfire Embers. Does every single ignite stack spread to every nearby enemy or does every single ignite spread to a single nearby enemy?
And is there an FAQ somewhere regarding primordial uniques?

[blissful vault]

I see. It's not like you endorse it. There is just nothing much you can do about it and rather not start this war, especially for something that ain't game breaking in itself yet?

[eternal zinc]

keep things high level?

High level on exact affixes, legendary items, character levels, rolls in ranges? I guess not 🤔

[final cave]

Guns? Crossbows?

[eternal zinc]

Oh correct grammar is
How to ask for suggestions or feedback will help game designers understand my ideas and what I want?

[urban silo]

Hi Mike, question regarding Marrow Shards node Bones Of The Follower. Does it proc on indirect casts ie. casting marrow shards from flay crit?

[cinder wind]

Previously Harvest would only shred necrotic resistance with the "harrowing blade" node, even when converted to physical. Will this still be the case in the next cycle?

[inner quest]

high level just means keeping things abstract, don't go into detail about how you think a specific thing should be (or is) implemented
a simple example would be: you can find a high level summary for how a TV works in advertising, you can find a low level summary for how a TV works in the technical documentation

[eternal zinc]

Reasonable. So trailer is high level, overview is low level.

[golden mortar]

Question re: Dancing Strikes before I pick my league starter:

"If you're like me and saw that Dancing Strikes now scales its Cooldown with Attack speed and wanted to make an entire build around it. Do be warned that the cap to make it faster is around 50% Cooldown Speed right now or 100% Increased Melee Attack speed after the change.

At which point the animation is so long that any further increases in Cooldown Speed do nothing for how often you can cast the skill."

Is this the case? There's an animation limit on DS scaling?

[golden mortar]

This does indeed seem to be the case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLAyn5SUmPM, https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/1b9dksy/cooldown_recovery_testing_and_skill_cooldown/, so the real question becomes: does 1.3 allow the animation to go faster or is this hardcap still in place? Can we have an answer to this before 1.3 please?

[median holly]

t8 sinathia shield reforged affix goes up to 97% chance for a skeleton to revive after 3s.
why not just make it 100%??? it's a pretty mediocre effect in the first place given the 3s delay and it's costing you your single t8 affix and the opportunity cost of using any primal unqiues?

it's not like 100% is unattainable either way (you'll want the +1 skeleton threshold) but idk if im reading too much into it but it speaks to a strange view of the power of that effect & balancing in general.

to be worth a T8 slot it would probably need to reduce the delay to 1 or 2 seconds not just give 100% and some minion life

[eternal zinc]

Can I still keep connect to server all the time if my internet is stable when I pause the game 1h or more?

[fast spade]

Does Abomination's new skill Devouring Souls not apply Damage over time? It has the damage over time tag but doesn't appear to have the possess debuff

[kindred night]

you get kicked out after 15? minutes

[pearl canyon]

For Thicket of Blinding Light, do sources of more damage like Oceareon and Apostate's Sanctuary work with it?
Or is it purely the more damage reflected mod on the body Armour that scales it like that

[fossil dune]

Purely the more damage mod on the item itself, reflect damage does not scale with any other damage stats as it bypasses all DR

[pearl canyon]

That's what I figured but I wanted to be sure before I put Oceareon into my build and scaled shock chance.
Either way it does over a million damage so it's fine by my standards

[slender oak]

Dear Devs,
does the new Lich passive Spectral Wound reading [...] a percentage of hit damage taken from bosses and rare enemies is dealt over 4 seconds instead. interact with effects like Impact Ward reading Less Damage Over Time Taken: 4% per point?
Same Question for Death Seal Skill from Lich which reads [...]While sealed you take less damage equal to half your percent missing health, and 90% of hit damage taken is dealt over 4 seconds.
Does this Damage dealt over 4 seconds qualify as Damage over Time at all or is this a different kind of mechanic?

[median holly]

thornshell should work for it I think

[crude plover]

Staggered damage is not damage over time

[crude plover]

Thornshell does work

[eternal zinc]

Oh make sense, thanks!

[keen vale]

I have a question regarding the Lich passive node Instruments of Death. The tooltip says:
“You have increased movement speed with a dagger equipped...” and lists +10% movement speed.

If I dual wield two daggers, do I receive the bonus twice (i.e. +20% total)?

[crude plover]

No

Would say per dagger otherwise

[slender oak]

Is there a formular known at which rate the Lich Form Health Decay is working?
Trying to calculate how long i can stay in Lich Form and can`t find a formular about this for the life of me.
please help 🙂

[pearl canyon]

In fact I'm like 90% sure, other than thicket, it's the ONLY multiplicative way to scale flat thorns

[crude plover]

It's confirmed to work by mike

[pearl canyon]

I was referring to thornshell being the only other method to scale it other than thicket

[crude plover]

Ah gotcha

[median holly]

Is there anything at all which scales the % reflected affixes found on some items (see mask of indifference, valdyr's chalice, omnividence)?
Penance in profane veil scales off of % relfected but I can't find a single thing which either increases that damage or is otherwise derived from it

[ivory dune]

With Truesight Glass is the 100%-140% crit requirement global crit or just the skill? So will shadow daggers only need 40% and any melee skill within gladiators oath only need 40% to hit that cap?

[crude plover]

Correct (you only need 40% more if you already have 100% , everything is taken into account)

[proven cradle]

Would also like to know if this is the case for theory crafting preseason - also, if there is a cap, does lowering the distance via the Close Combat node reduce the animation, and thus allow more reduction?

[gentle thorn]

What is the range of "surrounding enemies", for Primal Cadence?
Think it was asked there but never answered : #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[pine dome]

If my Scorpion has Maelstrom and they procc Storm Bolts
Does my Scorpion get Frostbite Cold Pen per my Att ?

[fast spade]

Does the change to Dancing Strikes cooldown recovery also increase its animation speed? Last i checked, it only benefits from up to 34% cooldown recovery.

[solar summit]

40% more?

From the wording of shadow daggers I'd assume that you need only 40% increased critical strike chance to hit the Deadly strikes' cap

[crude plover]

I meant more in a literal sense. You need to reach 140% total critical strike chance from all sources combined. So yes a skill with 100% base crit would only need 40% increased

[solar summit]

I got it now.

Gonna be careful with more and less words over there

[jaunty dune]

launch tomorrow 🙂 so what builds are the devs planning on playing this season?

[placid plinth]

I'm going necro, haven't decided which yet but it will have a trex

[jaunty dune]

fun! I'm going trex zoo beastmaster, stuffing in as many different minions as I can fit

[placid plinth]

It does not affect animation speed

[golden mortar]

So the change to DS is extremely limited, basically just 33%->50% more damage, and the MAS -> CDR we could already do with CDR?

[fossil dune]

^ seems like a huge oversight to me, basically makes the change worthless in the long run

[unborn beacon]

may i ask how many gb will thr patch be tomorrow/

[placid plinth]

yes, well technically the storm bolts created by your scorpion do but close enough

[placid plinth]

I'm not sure but several at least.

[pine dome]

If I have 60 Att, does this get doubled for my Scorp ?

[fleet galleon]

the scorp doesn't have 60 attunement so i guess no

[placid plinth]

surprisingly way harder to test

[hollow agate]

There is some problem with DS. It is not capped just bugged. I made some tests

Online without cdr 12move per second and 17with 90%cdr

Offline 16moves per second without cdr and 21with 60% cdr.

The only number that is in adequation with the displayed cdr is the 16moves per second offline
Someone else did the same tests and had totally different numbers offline much higher than me

Online DS will be unplayable for the majority.

[hoary frigate]

Mike gz on 3 mil LE copies sold! 👍

[placid plinth]

The fixed animation speed for Dancing Strikes is causing some issues. It is something we've had on our list to develop a way to make it variable for a while. We didn't focus much on Rogue this patch.

[rapid isle]

Question re: paladin smite. Does the additional mana cost for descend also increase trigger costs or is it only when you direct cast?

[placid plinth]

It should apply regardless, it's the same style as Unbalanced Scale's mana cost addition.

@teal trail foir visibility because you asked the same question earlier.

[teal trail]

Does spectral flay also trigger chaos bolts/marrow shards?

[pine egret]

In the patch notes:
Doom Brand now deals 80 base damage with 400% effectiveness (from 42 and 200%).

is that actually buffing the explosion damage portion of the spell called Soul Blast?

[placid plinth]

both should require direct use so no

[plain condor]

Hello , do we know if Harmony of the First calculates the stat increases from the magic items before it gives it to the Forged Weapons and Manifest armor or after? Thank you very much in advance, you guys rock

[placid plinth]

So, the ailment Doom Brand triggers an ability when it expires. The ability Doom Brand was buffed to be 80/400.

Unfortunately in looking this up I've just found a bug so this won't be in the patch. The ailment Doom Brand is mistakenly triggering the ability Soul Blast instead. That ability has 21/100 so it's half as good as listed and wasn't given a 2x buff so it's 1/4 as powerful in the end.

Edit: In investigating this, it looks like Doom Brand previously was doing 42/200 as it had a hidden 2x buff. We have a fix for this that will make its way into an early patch post Season 3 launch. Basically Doom Brand will be 1/2 what it was before for a little bit and then get its full 2x buff (which is 4x from where it will be at S3 launch).

[teal trail]

In LEtools the base damage of blood eruption is shown as 2 with 200% effectiveness. Is that correct?
Flay gets 2 physical damage per Dex does that get converted if you convert flay?
Does blood eruption inherit it?

[placid plinth]

short version: this doesn't work.

long version: the stat line on Harmony which scales the stats on the weapon is an independent stat which is not passed down to forged weapons. A more precise version of the stat would be something like: You gain stats equal to x% of the other stats on this item for each non-idol magic item you have equipped.

Even if the stat were passed down, your forged weapons don't have any other items equipped to scale. They also don't have a weapon equipped with stats on it to scale.

[plain condor]

Thank you very much @placid plinth

[plucky cape]

How long will chapter 10 aprox take to complete? and can you tell us anything about the biome yet?

[placid plinth]

[mystic palm]

hey there, ive been wondering how to put this question for a while and dont want to sound to negative about it. Why did you choose the Publisher "Krafton" considering there history of how they have treated other indie developer organisations? and the lawsuits being filed against them and what guarantees do we players and you as devs get that they won't do something similar here?

[subtle kindle]

any chance for mtx shop previews while we wait for the update to hit.
