I can’t get one big old chaos bolts out of my head and I feel like it needs armor shred, and some other stuff to just start working at least on a 500 corruption level

I just have no experience with Aura of decay

[obtuse quest]

K? Wat

[pearl snow]

I hate my text to speech LOL

AURA OF DECAY

ARMOR SHRED

It looked like it has high value for hit stuff

[obtuse quest]

LMAO

Errr since you take about 15 stacks on yourself without any boosts I think it's about 40-60 stacks?

57%-68% more physical or 40%-47% more other

Costing you 30% more physical/21% more other if at 0 armour

[pearl snow]

Got it thanks, quite impactful if you set it up

[fathom hamlet]

How do you snapshot aura of decay? have a build idea but not sure how the tech works

[drifting idol]

think skill AOE buff works well with AoD

[obtuse quest]

Equip all your stuff that you want to buff AoD with.
Press AoD.
Unequip them and go equip your actual equipment.
Boom AoD keeps whatever stats it had before. It loses it if you have to turn AoD off, or a zone change.

[finite galleon]

I can't believe you'd just give Tevonsonte a straight answer like that, given your history with aura of decay. I would've expected you to first have a monologue on how the aura of decay days are behind you, followed by two episodes of flashback to when 'AoD' and 'Kzb' were synonymous, ending with a heartfelt revelation that you still love AoD.

All this, before you say the answer.

[pearl snow]

Lmao

[drifting idol]

sounds like romance drama but with a skill

What's better, putting 80% minion damage or 15 intelligence on ring

[lost gale]

probably the int,

[brisk tiger]

Hey guys o/ I'm levelling a Witchfire build, and I'm a little confused about the Witchfire spread from Grimhilde's Domain. From the description of the node, all my hits should apply Witchfire to 5 enemies while I have damned/ignite overload, but in practice, I seem to only apply the Witchfire from the effect of the node before it (when I gain either overload), not on hit.

Am I misunderstanding the node? Has anyone here played a Witchfire build and can tell me if it's a bug? If it is, I'll submit a bug report, but I wanted to get some input from other players before posting a report for something that might not be a bug. Thanks <3

[wise basalt]

Why?

[lost gale]

int has offensive and defensive benefits for both you and your minions

[wise basalt]

Nice

Also dumb question, how did I get minion health on there?

I have this item since 1 week or so and I literally forgot how I got it that way

[lost gale]

it dropped like that or you used a rune of havoc maybe?

[wise basalt]

Yeah I forgot lol

I don't think I used a rune

[lost gale]

it dropped like that then probably

[wise basalt]

And you can't put stuff like this on there?

[lost gale]

no, T6 & T7 affixes can't be crafted the usual way with shards

[wise basalt]

Wow

[lost gale]

runes of havoc will swap which affix has which tier on your item, so you could go from T2 minion health and T7 necrotic res to T7 minion health and T2 necrotic res

[hearty meadow]

Am I correct that there's a bit of anti-synergy between Chaotic Rupture (Cthonic Fissures cast chaos bolts) and Return Below (Torment consumes Infernal Shade)? I get that for levelling it probably doesn't matter since stuff dies in 1-2 shades regardless but just wanna make sure I'm thinking about this correctly.

[lost gale]

maybe, can you really apply shades faster than even ~60% of the spirits can consume them?

[wise basalt]

Also there's no way to get the blue affix from those mages on a unique item right?

[hearty meadow]

I definitely feel like I'm overwriting shade sometimes when just spamming it on bosses.

[lost gale]

you can add it to a legendary item with legendary potential the same way as any other affix, but it's certainly harder to get an item you want to slam into your LP3/4 unique with that affix

[ashen storm]

Reposting Necromancer-inspired IRL stuff from #🎨┃fanart message

[wise basalt]

Disgusting

[finite galleon]

You uhh, you have a pair of keen eyes, Amelia

(On a side note I do not like rabbit meat at all. For all the jumping around it does, the muscle on its hind legs seems to still have one direction that is too loose to bite into. As opposed to frog legs.

[ashen storm]

Ty for the compliments!

[finite galleon]

Very true, very true, easiest 15 int of my life, unless it's for some kind of gimmick

[ashen storm]

Ah, but unironically - it would be cool if Acolyte had some aesthetic to her where she could be more of a Necro Queen, rather than just blood and bones body horror.
Probably not going to happen though, but it’s just a cool dream.

[drifting idol]

i have no idea wdym by necro queen

but that thing is irl horror

[ashen storm]

Idk how to explain tbh.
I don’t like to rely on AI too much, but I tried using ChatGPT to word some concepts (I’ll spoiler tag them cause it’s a wall of text and I don’t want to flashbang people with letters)

||Perfect! Here’s a selection of elegant and thematic skill ideas for a Necro Queen who commands bones and undead with regal poise and aesthetic flair:

⸻

1. Bone Masquerade
   • Effect: Summons a masked skeletal ball ensemble from nearby corpses.
   • Visuals: A fan of skeletal dancers in tattered finery rises from the ground, performing a courtly waltz that damages and distracts enemies.
   • Aesthetic: Gilded bone masks, elegant spins, and shimmering necrotic trails.

⸻

2. Marrow Bloom
   • Effect: Enemy bones sprout into floral bone constructs that explode or restrain.
   • Visuals: Delicate blossoms of ivory sprout along limbs, expanding in silent beauty before fracturing in bursts of bone shards.
   • Aesthetic: Resembles a flower blooming in slow motion, petals made of cracked ribs and finger bones.

⸻

3. Sovereign’s Beckon
   • Effect: Raises royal guards from the graves in ornate bone armor to protect or attack.
   • Visuals: The ground splits with a royal sigil, and tall, armored skeletons rise in synchronized kneeling, then take formation.
   • Aesthetic: Military precision mixed with ceremonial reverence.

⸻

4. Spine Lattice
   • Effect: Forms a protective or trapping lattice from extracted spines.
   • Visuals: Enemy spines unravel like silk threads and interlock into a hovering web of bone.
   • Aesthetic: The lattice glows faintly with ghostlight; it’s geometric, almost sculptural.

⸻

5. Dirge of the Hollow Court
   • Effect: A haunting aria resurrects a court of undead nobles who cast spells alongside the queen.
   • Visuals: Figures in bone-patched robes and spectral jewelry fade into existence, bow, then begin chanting.
   • Aesthetic: A fusion of opera and undead procession, moving in elegant unison.

⸻

6. Boneglass Mirage
   • Effect: Creates illusory doubles made of bone shards and spectral mist.
   • Visuals: Her form shatters into glassy bone fragments that reform into multiple afterimages.
   • Aesthetic: Reflective and kaleidoscopic—like watching her through cracked crystal.

⸻

7. Crown of the Forgotten
   • Effect: Absorbs the skulls of fallen enemies into a floating halo that grants her power.
   • Visuals: A crown of miniature, gilded skulls rotates behind her head, whispering in a forgotten tongue.
   • Aesthetic: Sacred and eerie, reminiscent of holy iconography but twisted.

⸻

8. Ossuary Waltz
   • Effect: Summons bones from the battlefield to form a tide of skeletal arms that sweep enemies off their feet.
   • Visuals: A ripple of bones flows outward like fabric, grabbing and twirling enemies.
   • Aesthetic: Fluid, rhythmic motion—almost like bone silk weaving through the battlefield.||

[ashen storm]

Can you picture it better now?

[drifting idol]

🤔

do you mean skills or aesthetic

cause i am thinking like, gear or cosmetics when we say aesthetic

[finite galleon]

Surely, SURELY we will get one cute necro pet before all this, surely?

hopium

[ashen storm]

Ah yeah, in my understanding “aesthetic” is a broad term and just means the looks and feel of anything.
So, in this context it would be aesthetic of skills. How the visuals look, how the sfx sound, how the skill performs, the skill theme

[ashen storm]

Hopium

[finite galleon]

？？？？

[ashen storm]

what do you mean question mark?...

you said hopium, I said hopium.. we are on the same page

[finite galleon]

Those four question marks are my final act of defiance

[ashen storm]

ah, so be it 🙏

[finite galleon]

Your editing game is strong

damn

I almost typed out something that would've made me look like a perv out of context

[drifting idol]

raw, next question

[ashen storm]

tbh I sometimes try to word smth and then reread what I typed and realize it has some 2nd meaning and not what I meant, so I have to backtrack and edit it to be worded in a better way 💀

anyway, raw, next question

[gritty cargo]

yeah you can put that 26% modifier on something with it's own 26% modifier like a pale ox, and get like 1000 hp from just chest

[finite galleon]

How did you progress from "new to LE" to ""new to ARPG/LE"? How are you progressing backwards?

[gritty cargo]

pale ox is just really strong even if you have no minions, you generally have a skill on your bar that is being autocast and you dont need it on the bar, and can summon a bone golem before going into higher damage situations and get the -28% health taken part of the chestpiece, but it's crazy good even without that

[finite galleon]

You are a disgrace to our people, Javors.

[finite galleon]

If you put it that way, it sounds like it's going to get nerfed

[gritty cargo]

can also have a crab-ring on and summon a crab before going in high damage situation, but the crab has like 800 hp, so it kinda instant dies so the damage reduction doesnt even really last as long as using chronowarp and getting the i-frames

[drifting idol]

just completing the expectation

[gritty cargo]

there's 2 other simmilar chest pieces that are crazy good

its just pale ox is greatest thing of all time rn

[drifting temple]

with skeleton vanguards ox is 100% uptime in echos

[gritty cargo]

those cast without being on the bar on a warlock and lich?

[drifting temple]

it is not a skill it is a node

lich tree harvested legions

[gritty cargo]

oh ok nice I didnt see it bone curse has a autocast for it for 3 points

now I dont know what ill put in unused bar skill spot ill try to figure out something

[stable mesa]

I've been trying to mess w/the new Pearls of the Swine amulets, the Decrepify one took my eye mainly as it scales it's damage based on missing health and curse flat scales per second. But I'm struggling to figure out a way to add DR into the build, Basically it stacks as much health as possible, as much flat curse damage as possible and then goes low life.

I'm using Pale Ox because it's a lot of % health and some DR, Will get 6-10% DR from curses (Warlock), and stacking some armor so I reach about 39%, but it still feels very low despite a big hp pool

[fathom hamlet]

So do you have to reapply this at the start of every map?

Also what idols/gear pieces are the best for aod?

[drifting idol]

at some point, i just feel like

i might just go for fire ignite, rather than witchfire loool

[kind forge]

harvest ye

[finite galleon]

Cmon man

THAT too, over abomination?

[drifting idol]

fire has a lot of support

[finite galleon]

are we even buddies at this point?

[drifting idol]

told you snapshot is yucky

[drifting idol]

5 bucks then i am your buddy tonight

👅

[finite galleon]

bruh

(check your dm for 5 bucks)

anyway you gotta give it a try man, you don't even have to snapshot most of the time

it's uhh

it's entirely optional

[hearty meadow]

Did death seal always have a max duration? Last time I played acolyte was back in early access and I don't remember that.

[zenith current]

eyo

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/oYGa8jwQ is this a thing

[stuck owl]

[zenith current]

conceptually it seems a lot of flat but i dunno if it has the multis

Good freeze rate too

[wintry flame]

even snapshotting them didn't feel good when I tested Golems

Not enough multis tbh, even if you opt for putting a shade on each one and having perma crit. Also in your setup you don't have anything to remove health decay so you'd be respawning them faster than the CD of Dread Shade. If you take the All for One Node and want to dread shade multiple minions then you have to take everlasting poison and resummon of CD

Anyway, point being that any other minion skill would be better. In terms of multipliers I'd rank things like Abom > Zombies > Wraiths/Wraithlord > Revenant > Skeleton Rogues > Skeletal Mages > Skeleton Archers > Golem > Skeleton Warriors

[finite galleon]

OH YEAH ABOM STRONG, ABOM BIG NUMBERS

[wintry flame]

Yeah Abom has so many lmao at large values too.

if only I had the amulet to test Revenant 😦

[finite galleon]

Which do you love more, revenant or skelly rogue

[wintry flame]

I haven't played much of revenant tbh I like the minion, but no proper way to scale it fully. Rogues are nice after they changed them I was gonna mess with them but never did. Glad I did this season

so probably Rogues atm

[drifting idol]

does this shard work with cthonic frissure node??

looks like something i want to slam

[hearty meadow]

Directly cast so probably not

[drifting idol]

still good enough for chaos bolts, right?

this and cast speed work well together looks like

and on hit damned ignite etc

[willow verge]

my fissure is scaling with ignite chance from "fissure of wrath"node. This node "mantle of flames"benefits me?

[hearty meadow]

Fissure of Wrath doesn't say global ignite chance so probably?

If you're meaning does it increase the stun chance

[willow verge]

and also the spell damge?

[raven marten]

are you using malatros?

[willow verge]

yeah

[raven marten]

mantle of flames applies to the fissure, not the whips, it is for dumping your last points as it is something

afaik, it does basically nothing for you because you (proabably) arent dot based

[willow verge]

yeah

thanks

[raven marten]

malatros gives you way too many points, i thnk you only need 24 or 25 to have a maxed out fissure for the build

[willow verge]

this one aplies to whips?

[native bison]

How witch fire doing so far?

[raven marten]

yes. this is my tree with 27 points using malatros

[north summit]

I heard a player killed Uber Abby in HC with a Golem build? Anyone know about this?

[finite galleon]

damn, respect

[pearl snow]

Flame Whips don’t get more Ignite chance via Mantle that feeds into the spell dmg / stun chance. All it does is pump more ignite stacks out which lets you Ignite Overload quicker basically

[pearl snow]

Also to note besides this saying “direct cast” so it won’t work for fissure. Even if it did the Fissure Chaos Bolt proc has something like an 80% chance to ONLY produce 1 bolt

[pearl snow]

In what way?

It can do 500 no problem

[native bison]

Uber viable? Or lacking in the damage department at this point?

[austere granite]

Hi, stat " Damage Leeched as Health While Transformed " Does it include the damage over time of the poison?

[gritty cargo]

yeah

[gray spear]

Where did you hear that?

[gritty cargo]

technically could kill uber abby on any build if you spend long enough in there

just go zero hit for 1.5 hours

this here means with 0 increases anywhere, and I added 100% spell damage, it would be like increasing it 175%, and if I added 100% increased dot damage, It would increase 700%?

the tooltip doesnt really help an increase of 10% spell damage or 10% dot damage in skill tree doesnt really move it all too much its like 30 damage difference on a 100,000 dps ability

I know tooltip on this one is one of the most innacurate things ive seen in the game so far

[old hull]

No, added damage effectivess multiplies flat damage, like +X spell damage on a wand.
The first number it gives is per tick of the skill and the second accounts for how many ticks per second the skill does.
So if you add +100 spell damage, it'll give 175 damage per tick, which is 700 damage per second.

[gritty cargo]

so if you have something say a 1lp wand there's no reason to ever pick the damage over time, or pick an element, just get spell damage?

cause they're all the same rolls

[oak minnow]

Go for flat damage in most cases

As you get increase and more damage effects everywhere else but not flat damage

[gritty cargo]

wands dont have +flat affix tho

[kind forge]

except for spells that really only get it as weapon bases lel

well or as a substitute for a weapon base on melee weapons since they dont have it there

uniques/sets dont count~

[gritty cargo]

since im getting +200 flat from snapshotting rip blood id probably prio pen over flat in my build if flat and pen were even a possible thing to get on stuff

[kind forge]

thats not really snapshotting uwu

[gritty cargo]

?

[oak minnow]

Pen and flat don’t block each other

Pen is a suffix on weapon and is on amulet
Flat is on weapon prefix

[pearl snow]

It doesn’t do nearly enough dmg to kill him in a reasonable amount of time

Its great for clear

Not bossing

My Normal Abby kill took 4mins in pretty decent gear

[gritty cargo]

yeah thats why its not possible ???

If I could get a lp 2 ghost maker it would be big damage activating chronowarp and swapping it off for ghost maker right before activating skill, then swapping back to chronowarp for the haste on hit passive

[fading topaz]

Is Infernal shade needed? bec I can only do one skill to buff one time?

[pearl snow]

you are using scales from the looks of it

so you can only use 1 shade

[native bison]

Ah, that's unfortunate. Looked pretty fun to scale

[pearl snow]

It is fun

[fading topaz]

ya so I can add other skill instead?

[pearl snow]

yes if you want to use that weapon

[obtuse quest]

You'll most likely find out it's not that good to only run one.

[obtuse quest]

For campaign and dungeons: Yes.
For Monoliths: No, since it doesn't count as a map change.

[obtuse quest]

It doesn't apply a new witchfire debuff, it SPREADS an existing witchfire stack, like how spirit plague spreads itself. (This is why every witchfire player uses the new relic for it)

[half bone]

what are the absolute best acolyte builds with very high survivability and low amount of buttons?

[gritty cargo]

highest survivability + lowest buttons and not some fringe offmeta thing like the ghostflame, probably a wraithlord / abom necro

[pearl snow]

if you set yourself up right as necro yeah I bet itd be pretty comfy

[half bone]

(i was already leveling a necromancer 😉 )

what about non pets?]

[gritty cargo]

ghostflame has potential to not be meme im working on a snapshot rotation that makes it actually do rod

have julra's stardials with spell damage + damage over time 70 + 120 + 120 = 310% increase x2 of them 620% increase
have lich envy gloves +24 flat
have reaper form up +8 flat
enter mono
use rip blood on the first pack of shitters with pyre of affliction equipped
+200 spell rip blood +40 spell immolator's oblivion

quickly equip wrongwarp
use transplant
casting transplant makes the two julra's stardials go from 620% to 1860% increase
movement speed is 210%, wrongwarp increases spell damage by 620% + with 2lp has 280% on it = 900%

To be determined. Wrongwarp has 60 flat on it, is there anything that provides enough flat + other bonus that will do more then the 620% from chronowarp
If there is something swap to it. (still use chronowarp in the rotation because the 35% movespeed will snapshot)

use ghostflame

swap gloves to Atrophy
swap rings to Flames of Midnight
swap weapon back to pyre of affliction (temporary)
swap belt to Ward Trail

[pearl snow]

Non pets isn’t as comfy because you cant all in your personal defense as much. Torment is pretty comfy because its lowish buttons and aims to extend Profane Veil which is really your only defensive

Acolyte just really hates ever being hit

So its not as comfy without dropping damage by a good bit

[vivid kernel]

my solution to being squishy was always more damage as a warlock

More damage, faster damage, more shit on the enemy debuff bar

Even after I got double red rings the build wasn’t exactly “tanky”

[gritty cargo]

Lich is tanky it's like 60% armor doge and 1200 ward per second kinda hard to die with 28% of damage going to minion 10% of damage going to shattered world and all the other % less damage things kinda hard to die unless you get some kind of double champion both hitting hard attack at the same time and one crits

Then somehow get hit for a 4500 crit and oops it removed lich form just play super timid till lich form is ready again

[lost gale]

what kind of lich has ward?

[finite galleon]

Damn, I respect the hussle. Btw is this kinda thing also going to be changed in 1.3?

[obtuse quest]

The ones that don't run Death Seal. Probably just have a small amount/hybrid since low life ward is kinda dumdum on Lich

[lost gale]

isn't death seal most of the reason to be a lich?

[obtuse quest]

Technically it's either or both. Now, if you don't use either Reaper Form nor Death Seal as Lich, I have no idea why you're playing Lich.

[jagged thistle]

anyone else playing autozomber? does the unique effect of cycle of putrescence stack, so that you guarantee 2 zombie revives?

[obtuse quest]

Yes

[gritty cargo]

they'd sureley buff the offmeta abilities to infernal-shade's level

there's not really anything all that good in death seal tree

[brisk tiger]

Thanks a lot! :D

[finite galleon]

@obtuse quest Kzb sama 😩 Please give me your energy. I only need to hit one of them, even the shittiest one is totally fine.

I don't have it in me to farm more

tnx drew

[atomic atlas]

[drifting idol]

Gloves with tongue😳

[finite galleon]

😳 Please tell me you aren't seriously considering sticking it in there

[chrome mason]

would.

[obtuse quest]

[drifting idol]

Sticking what?

Thought tongue kissing was the way

👅

Well uhm

What unique gloves could be good for witchfire build actually

🤔 i only need one experiemental affix on gloves, so 1 lp makes it up

[gray spear]

Yes, each cast to eat a minion is 2 or 3 beams for dealing damage, and it only eats 3 at once, so I've found that it's not usually worth it.
In my current build, I'm not using any eaten minions at all and am using rip blood for the damage and attack speed buff.
Zombies are okay; I'm just trying things to see if anything works for Uber.
In monos, zombies aren't worth it, since most things are 1-shot, so you could buff damage a little or kill 6 enemies in the same time

[half bone]

it actually only eats 3 at once?

[gray spear]

I didn't play when it ate more; that sounds pretty crazy

It only does 3 in a cast, and the eat cast is slow

[obtuse quest]

Iirc each eat "attempt" was up to 5 on release.

[vivid monolith]

I give my wraithlord the body from transplant and he likes it

[drifting idol]

This looks viable🤔

Any item with necro pen?

Im thinking either burning avarice or isadora 2 piece🤔

[drifting temple]

it was nerfed from unlimited to 5 and now to 3

[drifting temple]

eternal gauntlets exalted ones

[pearl snow]

Isadoras does not help with Witchfire specifically. It only gives you some more damned
Stacks
. Fire pen with ignite won’t scale with Witchfire either of course. If you want global Fire Pen there is a different set of gloves for that.
Most of us just use Eternal Gauntlets and get good affixes for whatever you need

You’d use these for fire pen if you really wanted to go unique gloves and more dps. I’d get at least lp2 though because you’ll want DoT or Necro res on it if you don’t need other resistance or crit avoidance / reduction of course

Lp2 is a 1 in 8 though and its a common drop. Should be an easy farm compared to nearly everything

[drifting idol]

real

thing is i would have to roll the affix on eternal gauntlet then

and that means i have far less control over it 💀

[pearl snow]

WELCOME TO ARPGS

[drifting idol]

rng gaming

[pearl snow]

Experimental stuff isn’t so bad anymore because of the weaver tree allowing you to force mages to come into content

[drifting idol]

witchfire is so specific tho goddamn

[pearl snow]

Yep, it’s a dual element non specific DoT

The relic is new to this league you used to not really be able to spread it lol

[drifting idol]

ia there any tool in game where i can see the damage pie chart

bcz i dont even know what damage i am doing the most loool

[obtuse quest]

There we go!

[drifting temple]

thats actually good

maybe will be playable now

as extra ward source

[pearl snow]

Lmao

[drifting idol]

even tho i am speccing in witchfire, but idk which skill/damage type is contributing the most and therefore what affix will be the biggest boost 🤔

[pearl snow]

Ah well Kzb and I can basically give you the rundown but the best way to do it is checking your Skill / Ailment on LET

It has tags, now granted Witchfire is mossing the fire and necro tags

Lol

[drifting idol]

oooo so there is a simulator function on LET?

[pearl snow]

Yeah if you go to the skill or ailment drop down.
LET is basically just data scraped off the game

But heres a short blerb

Grimhilde’s Domain scales witchfire with a “more” modifier rather than Increased so the Chance to Ignite and Damned is actually Multiplicative not Additive

Isadora’s unfortunately doesn’t count as it is chance to apply with necrotic skills. And even if the passive tree says global with necrotic skills. It is somehow not the same

Lol

[drifting idol]

so its better when its multiplicative?

[pearl snow]

Yes, in 9/10 cases I’d say more is better

Flat damage which isn’t possible for DoT

Is the main exception sometimes

Witchfire also has stupid high base dmg

Damned I believe starts at 30 per tick / stack. Ignite is 45. And Witchfire is 300 Fire 300 Necro per tick

[drifting idol]

ok i am starting to understand better how scaling works 🤔

[drifting temple]

because isadora is for spells not skills if im not wrong

[pearl snow]

OH SHIT

TRUE

Reading comprehension

[drifting temple]

it is 600 fire and 600 necro

[pearl snow]

Good correction I always under assume its value

[drifting idol]

huh

[drifting temple]

ye it was 300/300 before . they buffed it kinda long time ago

noone did rly strong wf build this season tho. maybe its just not possible with current numbers

warlock overall is kinda ehh.. well not this time i guess haha. and idk if they are planning sime number tweaks for warlock next season

[obtuse quest]

Witchfire is a single stack ailment so it's kinda stuck in that kind of hell

It's at least like, top of the class on it's intended job, which is deleting trash mobs.

[drifting temple]

ye but here is brand for mages doing 15mil damage per tick on dummy

[hollow flint]

Oh, self hit penance got killed together with normal penance, rip

[drifting idol]

lol

[willow verge]

u can have a infinite farm of exiled mages. Just dont interact with the craft system at the final at rune prison complex

[vivid monolith]

Yes but a big chunk of that is through a bug lol

Infinite duration frostwall snapshot

[gaunt abyss]

the warithlord attacks count as spells?

[obtuse quest]

The beam is a spell yes.

[gaunt abyss]

thanks!
gonna try making one, lets see how it go XD

[atomic atlas]

playing frost crows duel wileding apogees after grinding two acolytes to 100... wow ....

[gaunt abyss]

any recomadention for wriathlord build?

[wise basalt]

The only annoying thing as a necro is with high corruption you have to play perfect against bosses because pretty much anything is one hit

[willow verge]

anyone playing malatros flame whip build? any tips?

better investing in intelligence or necrotic resistanc?

[wise basalt]

What recommendations do you need?

[gaunt abyss]

what affix do i need to look for?
what uniqe are good for the build?
is low life the best rout?

[obtuse quest]

For what? Damage or defense?

[wise basalt]

Minion health and damage

Exsanguinous, usurpers mandate, wraithlords, harbour, death rattle,ambitions of an erased acolyte, last steps of the living

Yes

[drifting idol]

seema more void stuff based

[gaunt abyss]

passive+skills trees?

anyoone have a decent loot filter for wraithlord

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59NUYDOnGn0

[willow verge]

is twisted heart better than soulfire? for a malatros flame whip warlock build

[raven marten]

i dont think so, its just a stat stick, soulfire is really for damage and stuns

and you acn actually get 2-3LP soulfire vs twisted heart

[willow verge]

nice. for a belt... Uleros or imolators?

[raven marten]

uleros

assuming you are low life

[willow verge]

yeah. im LL

Will try to kill uber with that build

saw it is possible

[finite galleon]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fq88ZopaQJA&t=888s MOAR, WE CAN BE SO MUCH MOAR

[gritty cargo]

need more snapshot

after I snapshot other weapons I put this on last and it will increase my damage 48%?

[atomic atlas]

ur swaping weapons mid fight?

when I load into new zone

[atomic atlas]

what build

[eager agate]

weirdest one ive seen

[atomic atlas]

lol

[gritty cargo]

ghostflame

[gaunt abyss]

hmm now that i think (i normaly dont), in low life build endurace is always active no?

[raven marten]

correct, there is (almost) no health to protect

unless its its some jank seed of ekkadrasil mom thing maybe, is that even a thing

[atomic atlas]

dread shade snapshotting is a whole other level of unethical

[finite galleon]

I learned this dark tech from Zeckar

And I will spread it to the world REEEEE (actually no, the interest in abomination isn't going to be high enough)

[atomic atlas]

saw 60m without the 65% buff from harvest

[finite galleon]

PogW

But yeah a number of other builds have higher dps from what I've heard

[drifting idol]

dropped 3LP belt in build

nice

how good is soulfeast?

[drifting idol]

oh they added indicator for downfall of the righteous's witchfire aura, nice

[candid escarp]

I've decided to be stupid again

I'm going to try and make Reaper work for me.

well, Lich

and non necrotic, I'm not sure if I'm aiming for phys or poison.

or heck fire I spose X if I dip into warlock tree

[stable mesa]

Alright what's the best way to self curse

I just need one

Oh wait, nevermind. I have a very easy way

[candid escarp]

theres a low level unique shield that explodes in indiscriminate marked for death

constantly

[stable mesa]

I'll just use Grave Circle from Profane Veil

[gloomy eagle]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/planner/j3l105g6

anyone wanna help with my necromancer?

first ever summoner build in any game. reached emp monoliths but the clearspeed sucks and my minions die constantly

[candid escarp]

does anything cast Hungering Souls indirectly?

[old hull]

Hungering souls itself does through the 'when hit' procs. Death seal also has a thing for it.

[drifting idol]

@pearl snow actually how does damned/ignite on hit scale with witchfire at all? during witchfire overload time they don't do anything right?

[pearl snow]

Your passive tree Grimhilde Domain. Near the end of warlock tree

[drifting idol]

oooo i see

on hit ignite chance adds to dmg

in all honesty i should maybe skip bone curse or smth

[pearl snow]

What are you skipping it for?

[atomic atlas]

what are you trying to do? some zoo build? its lacking focus , no ? swap the mana blessing for ward?

fire minions mm

[gloomy eagle]

Idk what to answer here lol. I am just doing whatever looks like it might work out 😭 😂

[atomic atlas]

shades bring up minion dps a lot

[gloomy eagle]

And you say that so easy. Every blessing you see is taken cuz I didn't fot the one I wanted after 2 or 3 times. Really unlucky with blessings with this character

[gloomy eagle]

Got*

[atomic atlas]

get threat on golem

add shade

[gloomy eagle]

Aight thanks

[atomic atlas]

are your minions dying?

[gloomy eagle]

Yes in empowered monoliths they do now

[atomic atlas]

drop that for int or health/minion stats. idk those seem meh

the bottom part of golem adds threat and tankiness

[gloomy eagle]

Shade is that skill that kills ur minions after a time?

[atomic atlas]

but yeah zoo builds are kinda meh

focusing necrotic dmg is decent tho, fire idk some ppl do it till like 300 cor

[gloomy eagle]

What else you recommend on an acolyte build ?

[gloomy eagle]

I tried that first but it felt kinda worse

[atomic atlas]

single focus minions are more meta

necrotic felt worse?

shade adds a lot of necrotic

[drifting idol]

dunno rn

rip blood?

seems nice, maybe i should do rip blood

[kind forge]

now that i think about it ... playing harvest lich feels like playing a
slower
smaller
less dmg
necrotic
shatter strike

[gritty cargo]

But the RP!

[kind forge]

lol

and more stressful cuz death seal'

[gritty cargo]

That echo with the 5 shades is so much fun

[kind forge]

lol

the only thing they are about the same in is how easy they are to crit cap

[gritty cargo]

If only death seal autobombed infernal shade

[kind forge]

if you want infernal shade autobomb just use cycle of putressence and volatile zombies

[kind forge]

ye but i wish the passive that stopped you from gaining corruption also stopped the web from resetting

[gritty cargo]

Like the death seal releases would act like chaotic fissure spirits and detonate the infernal shade prematurely

[kind forge]

ig

[pearl snow]

rip blood and the procs when converted to necrotic are great defensive layers for ward gen

whats your current setup?

Bone curse provides a lot, Mark of Death. Blanket More Dmg via the Curse itself, can also be paired with Decripify Neck for 15% more DoT.
Kill Threshold or chill if you go that route too

[kind forge]

cold aura of decay uwu

[drifting idol]

spirit pleague, frissure, bolt, veil, bone curse

[kind forge]

cold harvest to go with cold reap uwu

[pearl snow]

drop Spirit Plague over Bone Curse.
Spirit Plague will slightly lower your dmg but Rip Blood will provide a similar Ward Generation buff and remove an extra skill button

Bone Curse can give you 2 curses at least. Another from Veil

Veil also super defensive so

and good offense

IMO

[drifting idol]

thing is

that frees a button lol

[drifting idol]

think i will at least take it off the chaos bolts node tbh, the path is garbo bcz i am running low health ward 3 pieces

[pearl snow]

Ah yeah, it is rough to fight off that health gain

[drifting idol]

Not too hard but it is nonbo with ward gen

[finite galleon]

You know what time it is shinobu

[vivid kernel]

Ayo looks like they fixed the self curse penance server meltdown build someone posted here the other day

[finite galleon]

wth is that

[wintry flame]

the self hit stuff could proc infinitely

one sec

[vivid kernel]

#💀┃acolyte message

[wintry flame]

yeah that lmao

[swift wren]

I don't have mana issues on my stygian lich. Instead of mana blessing, would chance to shock or stun be better, stun right since we don't have stun chances so the shock increasing stun chance is pointless?

[prime smelt]

You get a more multiplier based on your current mana so having a bigger mana pool is more damage.

[swift wren]

Oof definitely missed that. Makes sense to take mana then lol

Omg it's on stygian. Got so sidetracked by int that I forgot there was another % based stat

[finite galleon]

OMEGALUL This is funny

[kind forge]

lol

that feeling when transplant kills you because your at 1 life and have bleeding heart on

[silver night]

man, i hate this

the reward is gone

😭

[kind forge]

ye for some reason resetting it doesnt work and it just eats your key

and sends you back to end of time

[kind forge]

also let me guess ... you swapped time zones and he did the big attack right when you tp back? lel

[vivid kernel]

I actually love that attack, free damage, and then you double swap at the last moment and carry on

[kind forge]

lol

shattered chain or the volatile reversal belt for harvest?

i know life drain uses the belt cuz int uwu

[zinc jay]

Stygian Coal Lich can this build kill uberotth with 1/2lp items ?

[strange kiln]

So going by the patch notes, was imprinting buffed so it’s not useless anymore?

[zenith current]

There's two types of people

[chrome mason]

Difficult, but it has the damage yes

[finite galleon]

AY THAT'S ME

FeelsGoodMan

[zinc jay]

So need more lp ?

[viscid yarrow]

I’ve seen this build before, but I’m wondering if some uniques could replace the exalted items.

[obtuse quest]

Not too much you can replace with unless the unique is 3+Lp to be honest.

[kind forge]

ye i hate that too

the puke puddles are annoying expecially on my current char

[kind forge]

abomination has such insane defense scaling that it really doesnt need it lel

something like archmage skele mage tho ... ye it needs it

then again resummoning it is easy

[chrome mason]

You dont need it, but the fight is less of a drag if you just have 3LP Ladle & Coal (Which are not hard to get tbh)

[finite galleon]

True, which is why I was like 'yeah you can boost minion health, it's kinda straightforward, do it if you want' in the guide

Although if someone would like to do echoes with the infinite poison stacks thingy, he probably needs to boost its health a bit (sounds extreme kekw)

[zinc jay]

Somebody have like starting setup of gear ?

[chrome mason]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHf8K3PkAq4&t 4min clear with this gear, very optimized (not me btw)

[median pebble]

any torment warlocks clearing uberoth and 1k corruption?

or any warlocks for that matter apart from spine of malatros

[lost gale]

the other warlock build I know of that could do that got killed in the last patch

[native bison]

think this can hit 1000 corr?

[median pebble]

yeah I have pretty good gear for torment but both damage and defense just dont seem to cut it

[obtuse quest]

Witchfire is primarly a clear setup. It doesn't have the power to ubberoth. 1k c is possible though.

[lost gale]

witchfire is kinda fragile for 1kc tho

[median pebble]

has anyone tried witchfire + ghostflame, scaling damned chance?

[silver night]

not yet

[obtuse quest]

Ghostflame has the channeling issue of "Channeled skills can't proc overload without letting go of the button"

[median pebble]

that is more of an annoyance then build breaking stuff, if ghostflame solves single target dps, I would put up with it

[lost gale]

doesn't fissure & bolts do more dps than ghostflame along with proccing witchfire better?

[obtuse quest]

Correct!

[silver night]

for single target bit hard?

[obtuse quest]

You assume Ghostflame does any sort of damage in the first place.

[lost gale]

ghostflame is ~700% damage effectiveness/s

pretty sure bolts proccing rip blood is more than that

also ghostflame doesn't hit so you can't take advantage of all your on-hit stuff without speccing it into that which isn't the single target dps maximising ghostflame spec

ghostflame is just kinda mid

[obtuse quest]

It's top tier for defense though.

[lost gale]

sure but if i'm building in to a warlock skill for defensive purposes then it'll be profane veil

[median pebble]

ghostflame doesnt need to deal damage if it is good enough of damned vector

what i am wondering is if ghostflame setupt can use damned/ignite chance better then cbolt setups

[lost gale]

whatever your itemisation for chance to apply damned (which will be a lot for any witchfire build) chaos bolts will inflict it faster than ghostflame

and damned is a pretty lowdps ailment in the first place, not very well supported

[median pebble]

thanks, that is what I was looking for

[obtuse quest]

Unless ghostflame has the chance of 4 chaos bolt hits, no.

[median pebble]

so part spine of malatros setups, warlocks is looking kind of mid this patch, I guess

[native bison]

My fissure doesn't seem to be triggering overload, only chaos bolts. Is this normal?

[obtuse quest]

Which it barely does. Double ignite and triple damned chance.

[obtuse quest]

Overloads only trigger off DIRECT casts when the condition has already been met.

[lost gale]

overloads only trigger on cast, you'd have to cast the fissure when you're in range of enemies with enough stacks to trigger the overload

chaos bolts casts pretty fast when you just hold the button down, so it triggers overloads pretty reliably

[near hearth]

from your opinion and experience what is the most fun beetwen necro and lich???

[finite galleon]

Embryo talking about anything other than dots challenge 【IMPOSSIBLE】

[obtuse quest]

Are you a minion player or a non-minion player? That's effectively the answer to your question

[lost gale]

dot proliferation >>>>> snapshotting minions.
search your feelings, you know it to be true

[finite galleon]

NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN NEIN

[lyric idol]

Oh man it's gonna be soooo nice when snapshotting is gone

[finite galleon]

I WON'T HEAR ANY OF THIS

[obtuse quest]

Downside: If they don't buff minions you'll still be stuck in "Solo big minion with double shade" meta.

[lyric idol]

I know they love minions and I'm gonna stay hopeful that they'll give them a good balancing lol

let's hope they don't go the GGG route and remove something and ignore why it was necessary to do in the first place

[obtuse quest]

Honestly, unless both shades are changed, most of the top meta will still be at best "small army of double shade buffed minions"

[near hearth]

im not into minion, but i see lich gameplay always look on theresold management so lich phase not end

[lost gale]

profane oblation is such a based build, I wish it worked a bit better

[obtuse quest]

Lich is the class where your lifebar is a rollercoaster, yes. Being able to stay in lich form as long as you're in combat is the core of lich.

[near hearth]

i guess i will try one by one, if u choose who is the more fun to play beetwen lich and necro??

[lost gale]

can lich even make use of hollow lich? Seems not

[prime smelt]

The node that removes leech ?

[lost gale]

yeah

turns leech into damage

[obtuse quest]

No, unless they're insane or are cooking something weird and not use both their signature skills. (It would be a very dead node if it's not splashable.)

[prime smelt]

Maybe some super niche build but generally you will not be having a good time if you do that

[shell spindle]

how do i scale wraithlord damage to the moon?

[obtuse quest]

Minion damage, flat minion spell damage, feed it a non-wraith minion once a while

[drifting idol]

Lol this rare is cool as hell

terminator, the laser crab

[drifting idol]

struggling at 300 corruption lmao 💀

somehow i am keeping getting 1 shot by random mobs when i have like 6k ward 💀

[lyric idol]

are you crit capped? either avoidance or reduced damage taken

[lost gale]

you don't really need to cap reduced, 80-90% is probably enough for crits not to really matter, but you do need to cap avoid

[lyric idol]

not both at the same time though lol

[lost gale]

oh, yeah

and don't mix and match them

you either need 100% avoid or >~80% reduction

50% avoid 50% reduction is probably still going to get you killed a lot

[gritty cargo]

if you're doing damage where you're causing a lot of bleeding and get the rip bloods autobombing from the warlock tree, and the rip bloods autobombing from the bone curse, the health regen from the rip bloods are enough to sustain with hollow lich, but unless using spine of malatros as a +9 level stat stack, and you have the +40% leech on it so it becomes 400% spell damage, there isnt really enough gain out of it to justify giving up the leech or even giving up the skill points

[lost gale]

that actually sounds kind of plausible but I reckon rip blood just doesn't do enough.

[pearl snow]

You’d have to have a lot of int for rip blood to sustain a good chunk of hp

[lost gale]

bleed overload being 1 cast/s is pretty underwhelming

[pearl snow]

Yeah I think CB can proc it 4/sec

Bone Curse can proc on timeout

And Rip Blood can recast on kill

[lost gale]

recast on kill precludes getting health or ward back tho

CB is a very based skill

[pearl snow]

An

Yeah the only archetype I know thats consistent on Ripblood auto casts is bleed lock

[wintry flame]

what was your highest hit?

[wintry flame]

snapshot it

[drifting temple]

Heresy

[wintry flame]

hmm?

[drifting temple]

im not sure you will ever get a proper answer sadly

[drifting idol]

@lyric idol @lost gale dunno what these stats are for, im new

[lost gale]

enemies have a small chance to crit you on each attack, which is pretty deadly, but there are two stats you can get (crit reduction & crit avoidance) which prevent this.

crit avoidance is a chance for a crit to deal normal damage, if you have 99% avoidance then when the enemies crit 99% of the time you just take normal damage and 1% of the time you take a full crit which can still be deadly.

crit reduction applies to every crit and reduces the extra damage from critting by the % reduction so 99% crit reduction means every crit only deals a tiny amount of extra damage to you so they're not really dangerous.

Does that make sense?

[drifting idol]

Seems like reduction is more manageable

I feel like i am not doing enough offensively and defensively

Dang, only last 2 harbingers left though

[fallen umbra]

never played acolyte really, what is easiest acolyte build get run from ground?

[atomic atlas]

probably fissure

[fallen umbra]

is it many button build?

[atomic atlas]

na

one button for the most part and it auto casts a bunch of stuff

[spice hound]

I've seen conflicting things about Lich, do they want to run Atlaria or Phantom Grip?

Phantom grip seems kind weird just for the crit chance

[atomic atlas]

red ring is op

[spice hound]

I was thinking mad alchemist/stygian coal/double t7 red ring

Sounds fun

But idk if I should wait for lich changes first

[atomic atlas]

thats the meta its just hard to get the first two

[spice hound]

next season

[atomic atlas]

i mean its fun

pew pew pew

face tank everything

[spice hound]

Lich model looks a lot cooler with graphical update

I haven't played it since launch and it's come far tbh

[obtuse quest]

Phantom grip when you don’t have consistent crit, red ring after

[north lance]

I haven't played any transforming class yet

[pearl snow]

They gave a legit one lmao 0.35s is lowest possible non infinite loot creator

[drifting temple]

hmm. they know better ofc. but this number seems like a bit off for regular user

[lost gale]

I'm not calling the guy a liar but I just don't see how that could be true

If your when-hit triggered soul feast hits 13 enemies but penance only triggers once on you with a 0.01s cooldown then that single self-hit isn't likely to trigger soul feast again reliably

it may still be triggering soul feast quickly if you're hitting quickly, but it shouldn't be a loop without the ability to translate multi-hits into multiple penance instances, which any cooldown should prevent afaict

[ancient jewel]

Hello I've joined the game for less than a month now. I've been trying some build for acolyte and it seems like necromancer minion (melee) build is very clunky.

It feels like it's missing a node in the tree like a skill that would allow melee minion to jump to said area instantly or so. The more you lvl that node or affixes (to tier 7) the more range/speed/dmg it would have.
The skill would appear only if all the possible minion have spawned for said skill (ex: 2 for mage at base lvl). And it would replace said skill until one minion dies of that skill.

[lost gale]

There's an item modifier which makes travel skills like transplant bring x minions along with you, that's typically used to relocate your minions in a pinch

you can also make them move to cursor with with the a key which mostly works well

[ancient jewel]

oh alright that's something to work thanks. For skill which is Q or A depending on keyboard. It works but the minion running is weird it's slowing near the target. Which make the gameplay very slow

[spice hound]

Yeah, it's an experimental affix that feels extremely important for minion builds

If you kill the mages you'll find the affix

[pearl snow]

From my point of view, it makes a lot of sense for it to only be every third of a second given some of the updating loops it could probably take long enough to where the new interval is the only consistent way to make a non-infinite looping self curse self hit stuff

Granted, I’m just like napkin it but the reality is it’s probably the only stable loop that they’re able to create

[obtuse quest]

There's buffs that let your minion move faster.
The zombies have an exact node that lets them leap to enemies.

[ancient jewel]

Yup that's a cool node I was trying a build with a single death knight but it's way too clunky as of now since he doesn't leap. I've boosted his move speed to the roof but he slow down to catch up to moving enemy.

I'll try with zombie build, it might be better although the death knight is cool unit in itself.

[pearl snow]

Speaking of Zombies. I got a working protype with Cruelty and Sac actually working.
It just takes too many prefixes of mana etc to get the dmg component high enough

Kinda sucks you cant go blood wraiths though because itll just suck all the mana outta you

But Bone Curse and Autosac goes WILD

Every bone curse cast took 300mana

[hybrid forum]

is this a sign for whipper?

[pearl snow]

Wow thats basically perfect

You don’t even need the +9 honestly

[hybrid forum]

i failed the same slam on a +9

but this one should be good enough

[pearl snow]

Thats basically BiS outside of a 3LP of the same

You only really care about having +6 and max crit multi plus added spell

[hybrid forum]

i'll give the build a try after i feel my vk is min-maxed

[obtuse quest]

Mana moment

[pearl snow]

500 and I had 25 regen I think.
Just enough for Zombies + parasites but not enough for Blood Spectres

I even ran that MoM helm lmao

If only I could scale Sac with mana

The infernal shade applicator version did slightly better but at that point why even use auto sac

[humble forge]

I've got a cruelty based build that, surprisingly, got me past normal Abby. It spams harvest with the "mana on harvest use" affix to fix the mana problems.

[pearl snow]

Yeah I couldn’t find a great chest for that but you got through normal abby?

Can you share for reference?

[humble forge]

Yeah, this should be it. It does not have the best gear though, as I'm relatively new the game and still working on what stats are best to grab.

Does the blood splatter nodes from Rip Blood affect the blood splatters generated from Soul Feast?

[pearl snow]

Spine? Just for the levels and flat added? Thats kinda neat

[humble forge]

Yeah and for the possible t7 attack speed

[pearl snow]

Oh sick

Didn’t even think about Lich

Nice

[coarse gyro]

Is anyone playing Flame Whip warlock? I have a few questions

[finite galleon]

Looking back at the video, on uber aberroth it looks like 60m. Damn come to think of it there's still something I need to test.

[wintry flame]

that's pretty good 😛 I was hoping to see 1 shot boss dummy 😦

1bil hit lets go

[wintry flame]

I was messing with this and infernal shade you can't get crazy numbers but you can probably get like 1-2mil ticks on just a never ending loop. The other methods using flickering shadows give so much dmg tho like 20m+ ticks 😛

you don't care about mana so you just stay -100 mana might be good to pair with the ward per missing mana boots

[finite galleon]

I'm pretty sure cheesing out the largest possible number on dummies involves that node that only boosts abom damage for the first 8 sec it is summoned

dunno if it is also triggered again after changing zones, if so then it sounds super doable. I'm not a big numba kind of guy tho.

[kind forge]

ye alot of minions are a little too squishy not to do it

[wintry flame]

sureeee says the guy with an abom snapshot guide...

[finite galleon]

?????

[wintry flame]

Snapshotting is only for big numbers

😛

[finite galleon]

Fate has led me here 😭

It's not what it looks like 😭

[kind forge]

can you put champion mods on uniques?

[wintry flame]

no

they are sealed

[kind forge]

sad

true

woulda been nice to get +1 skele on lethal thingy spear

or an extra companion

on primalst

[wintry flame]

would be nice indeed 😦

[pearl snow]

1 mil ticks on shade explosions?

[kind forge]

also really wish i wasnt forced to spec wolf when im using stormcrow

[wintry flame]

the DoT

[pearl snow]

Wtf

[wintry flame]

I didn't fully build it

[pearl snow]

How

[kind forge]

just dead skills that you only take to buff other skills sadge

[pearl snow]

The highest I saw on shade, granted I was a warlock and didn’t have great gear and was in positive mana was like 100k explosions

[kind forge]

rogue has one too taking cinder strike when you use burning daggers on heartseeker

[pearl snow]

On a dunny

[kind forge]

at least when you buff flire aura on flame ward you still use flame ward

[wintry flame]

it was using flickering shadows in sac, each recast of sac grants 250% more damage to existing shades

I have an auto loop that spawns a bunch of minions so I just tp through map and the shade gets buffed, removed, replaced, then sacs cause it to increase damage which spawns more minions, that hold the damage shade 😛

[obtuse quest]

Probably not.

[wise leaf]

Does anyone know if increased damage over time also applies to the explosion of internal shade? The skill has the damage over time tag but the explosion can crit so not sure

[kind forge]

probably

[obtuse quest]

It inherits the damage mods, so technically yes.

[kind forge]

unless it says from rip blood specifically

[wintry flame]

no

it won't inherit those mods

[obtuse quest]

It doesn't?

How the heck are mine doing that much damage

[wintry flame]

a skill mutator that parents a sub skill will pass on it's damage but if the damage doesn't map to the subskills tags it won't apply. So Ele dot won't apply to a hit based spell

[wise leaf]

Was looking to specc into spiteful decay passive, but guess thats off the table

[pearl snow]

Sounds like someone just test with no gear on lol

[wintry flame]

I mean you can double check, but it shouldn't work in that way

smh making me leave slormancer 😦

[obtuse quest]

I see that's where you went (relatable)

[wintry flame]

I haven't played in forever. No minions tho 😦

or like ones I'd like

[obtuse quest]

I'm just playing funny inner fire

[wintry flame]

Ravenous daggers for meeee

it's so fun lmao

[thorn grove]

started playing stygian coal lich and was wondering why the build guide goes for rip blood over harvest, mana sustain would be a lot better with harvest with the chest affix

[wintry flame]

needs direct use of harvest? I believe

[obtuse quest]

Harvest needs a rare affix and is melee so it does jack all damage. Rip Blood also gives you more health to upkeep reaper form.

[wintry flame]

LMAOOOOOO

[thorn grove]

instead of the crit multi blessing you could take spell leech to help a ton with that, the build already has so much multi

the melee part is annoying yeah

rip blood just feels so sluggish

[obtuse quest]

Rip blood also gives you a flat spell buff.

[thorn grove]

still leveling tbf XD just thinkin out loud

[wintry flame]

I just realized something I never tested and accidentally found it lmao

I've started my infinite loop on accident...

[thorn grove]

right, that can stack too, bit what about just slapping flat spell on your ladle- just looked it up and apparently flat spell is not an affix?? lol that seems odd

[kind forge]

only direct cast sadge

only time ive been able to actually use that is stygian coal

[wintry flame]

DoT did not increase the explosion damage on infernal @obtuse quest @wise leaf

[kind forge]

since you just plant life drain then spam rip

[obtuse quest]

That's because flat spell is very powerful. We don't get flat spell affixes.

[kind forge]

its also 8 flat spell

[obtuse quest]

Awwww. Wait then how the heck are mine doing that much damage in my witchfire setup?

[kind forge]

per cast within 6 seconds

[wise leaf]

Thanks a lot for checking! Appreciate it

[kind forge]

you can get like 100 flat from that easily (at least on coal)

[wintry flame]

the mutlis in the tree and flat dmg? idk

[thorn grove]

yeah... well i suppose i'll just hope rip blood gets much faster as i level, it feels so slow and the mana gain is so low 😢

[kind forge]

oh ye i forgot i cant die to transplant now

forgot i took off bleeding heart

still can die if i accidently press harvest at the start tho kek

[obtuse quest]

Cast speed helps, which mad ladle should be helping you stack.

So get more INT.

It is not really recommended to level with coal, it feels bad until you hit a certain stat point.

[pearl snow]

Kzb getting gaslit by Witchfire

[obtuse quest]

I'm honestly not sure what gaslit me, it probably not myself-

[thorn grove]

it's kinda fun having at least some challenge in the campaign, tho multi-casting drain life just nukes any boss regardless

i did not realize lich got so much leech at the end of their tree, 10% of damage leeched is crazy

[wintry flame]

okay @pearl snow I went offline and had a char I was messing with it's not exactly the setup but you can see the mechanics. The damage isn't high cause it'd be for ignite or ailment application not just scaling infernal shade DoT

sorry first few videos just walking around no casts, and then I am showing stationary loop.

been trying to figure out what to do with it lmao

[pearl snow]

I shall take a look soon, finishing up my work

[wintry flame]

No problem

[kind forge]

wonder if we will get perma death seal like holy aura and symbol of hope
or maybe closer to enchant weapon

also swap death seal and reaper form on the lich tree too since the low life passive is early on

also lich needs a 4th skill uwu

well 5th if you count the mastery skill

[pearl snow]

whats crazy is in that stationary loop you are actually out regening but the mana pool is just too small

[calm dome]

The Hollow Lich passive node is global increased damage. Does that increase the base crit chance from the Chthonic Fissure Acid Skin node?

[pearl snow]

yes

This is how you can actually crit mobs while running Singularity

at least until they most likely change that lol

[kind forge]

that makes no sense uwu

sounds like a bug

it says increased dmg not increased crit chance

[pearl snow]

Acid Skin on the Fissure tree scales with Poison Damage

It is an intended scaler, but only for Fissure's Acid Skin application

afaik

But running Singularity removes your chance to crit. However Acid skin does not remove the mobs chance to be crit

[kind forge]

OH

ic

[pearl snow]

its a little loophole if you have enough poison damage

I think the breakpoint with running Singularity is somewhere near 700% Poison Damage

[kind forge]

crit vulnerability would work the same way if there was a way to get it on accolyte?

[pearl snow]

to be consistent

I assume so

Acid Skin is basically our Crit Vuln but only via Fissure

[kind forge]

better watch out ehg dont be adding any crit vuln items

xD

[pearl snow]

True

However the tradeoff is you literally dont have any crit chance on your tree

lol

It pays off really well if you have the gear

[old hull]

Singularity is supposed to disable crits entirely. It definitely did at one point, so not sure what happened.

[kind forge]

true but like 20% chance to crit while also not having any crit

[pearl snow]

It does disable your crits

technically though the mob itself has a crit scaler on it

which isnt disabled

[old hull]

Weren't you just saying acid skin lets you crit?

[kind forge]

it lets the enemy be crit

[pearl snow]

So Acid Skin with fissure

[kind forge]

its a debuff

[pearl snow]

and only with fissure

debuffs the enemy

to make them MORE "critable" depending on your poisons damage %

[kind forge]

enemy modifiers bypass player limit modifiers

[pearl snow]

so its not actually turned off

[old hull]

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. That's not intended.

[pearl snow]

Id argue it is

[old hull]

Singularity disabled crit vuln

[pearl snow]

because then that would mean your specific mods are then dynamically tied to enemy mobs

which sounds like a nightmare

code wise

[kind forge]

ic

[pearl snow]

but then again i dont work for htem

so

what do I really know

[kind forge]

it does sound weird tho

[old hull]

It's one boolean in the damage "can crit"

[obtuse quest]

IIrc that was supposed to be fixed. Singularity changed to be the final final modifier that just says "Set crit chance to 0%"

[pearl snow]

a boolean tied to your toon not the enemy

[kind forge]

enemy can be crit
vs
you can crit enemy
owo

[pearl snow]

at least thats my take

I gotta blast though

[calm dome]

Hmm. I think of it like this. Let's say your player stat is 0% crit. You do not innately crit. Then say there is a debuff on an enemy that says "All hits against you crit". Even though the player has 0% crit chance, all hits will crit is how I interpret it.

[pearl snow]

gtg

[pearl snow]

yep

Could throw it in ask devs tbh

[obtuse quest]

That was how it worked about 3 whole versions ago yes, it got changed to just stop any sort of crits happening after acid skin existed.

[kind forge]

ye but it has to be a debuff cuz all buffs are cancled by singularity

[old hull]

Yeah, that's basically how the bug happens, but it probably will get fixed at some point

[kind forge]

since buffs are ur stats while debuffs are enemy stats

[wintry flame]

yeah, I don't have full 100% chance to spawn blood spectres, but with mana regen, the mana on hit chance warlock passive, and then just cast speed with rip blood you could probs make something. I just don't know what

you can scale infernal shade DoT + like ignite, you could do hit maybe, or just like ignite... Lots of options but just don't know what would actually do good damage and then you seen the ticks people get for infernal shade using flickering, it just insta ramps to a lot of damage lmao

[kind forge]

i need chain hook for lich

uwu

reap/lunge 2.0

pulling yourself to enemies would probably feel pretty cool with harvest

[pearl snow]

I have to look into flickering cause I don’t think I’ve ever played around with that node yet

[kind forge]

also maybe they should do with harvest what they do with flame reave

the ring effect being a passive on the tree and a ring effect

so if you have the ring you save alot of points

basically move deaths embrace effect to the harvest tree

maybe lock it behind the big crit passive

cuz i know eventually you do wanna remove it

idk nvm

it would probably still feel garbage to lvl with uwu

you would be waiting till like chapter 8 or 9 to grab it

idk i just hate when the leveling build is stronger than the build you are using it to transition to ... but some skills are sooo meh that you kinda are forced to play something else until you can respec into it ... and then when you finally can its a massive downgrade

[wintry flame]

lmk if you find something

[kind forge]

not saying lich needs this by the way but it would be super nice if elixer of death also gave chance to find pots to help sustain itself

forge guard gives it for its potion related passive owo

to be fair its forgeguard tho

[cursive parrot]

Acolyte is going to be so OP once they rework lich and necro trees. They are so average the power will be huge.

Anyone know what is considered a minion skill for the wisp weaver passive node?

[old hull]

Any skill with the Minion tag is a minion skill

[kind forge]

it was funny to learn that spriggan form was a minion skill itself

it has minion subskills but like ye

[old hull]

Yeah, the transforms get a lot of tags

[kind forge]

free +4 to it tho from phantom grip

xD

[cursive parrot]

Right but does that also refer to minions which use their skills

[kind forge]

yes

minion abilities will usually also apply to the minion itself for things like + lvls

[old hull]

No

[kind forge]

wait what was the question

confuzzled

[old hull]

What wisp weaver procs on

[cursive parrot]

Wisp weaver passive node

[kind forge]

ic

OH ye no

it litterally says you have to be the one using the skill

im not sure if thats the same as direct cast condition tho?

[old hull]

Unclear, you'd have to test to be sure, but probably only works on directly used minion skills

[kind forge]

i think the only relevant case would be like ... chaos bolt triggering harvest specced into blood spectre to get the minion tag

[cursive parrot]

I swear bone golem’s rtaliate was able too at one point, but it doesnt have a mana cost whoch makes it weirder. Anyways, thanks all

[calm dome]

Since they fixed the self hit loop proc rate of bone curse with penance, what are your guys thoughts on a self hit hungering souls build

[kind forge]

sus

[pearl snow]

Hard to scale well prob

[final vapor]

Hey everyone. I remember seeing wraithlord was kinda crappy this cycle. Has that been fixed or is it still kinda floaty/slidey all over the place

[kind forge]

use targeting and stop feeding it minions

[thorn grove]

i feel like i remember hearing 66% more damage when health is sealed but arent all of those effects increases not more multipliers

[old hull]

Death seal itself gives more damage based on missing health

[thorn grove]

ohhh, sorry that's what i was missing XD

[kind forge]

1% damage = 1% missing health
1% damage reduction = 2% missing health

so with the low life passive its 66% dmg 33% dmg reduction

[thorn grove]

yeah i'd somehow overlooked that description for death seal and was only looking at the passive lich bonus and the dance with death node

[kind forge]

well its actually more than that because you need to path through life scaling nodes to get that passive

but thats the base xD

[thorn grove]

that one is increased but yeah even more dmg

[kind forge]

ye

[thorn grove]

just finished the campaign tho so i'm just getting started with the power ramping XD

[kind forge]

lol

[calm dome]

Hmm do y'all think the Harvest node providing ward on hit to you and your minions would be a good way to mitigate the self hit damage of Bone Curse Aura with Penance

Can mitigate the damage loop of bone curse aura penance between you and your minions hitting yourselves every .35 seconds

I got up to chaos bolt, harvest and bone curse aura but idk where to run with this

[kind forge]

no

[thorn grove]

not even letting them down nice, just a flat "no" dang

[kind forge]

oh wait we do have a second crit vulnerability type debuff

well a 3rd one

2nd universal tho

nest of nightmares

[gritty cargo]

There's a lot of things you can run

Self bone curse really depends on the build are you snapshotting pearls of the swine on it?

[twin venture]

heh

[thorn grove]

lets push this tankiness, lvl 63 goin into empowered monos 🤔

this is just weird man, it feels more tanky than my judgement paladin at this level

[old hull]

idk about you guys, but I'm hyped for cold lich

[thorn grove]

i'm waiting for fever lich

[kind forge]

owo

[north lance]

Yesterday, I fed my turtle 7 Mad Alchemist's Ladle 3lp and slammed the best Uber relic I had onto my VK, but now I want to play Lich Stygian Coal, damn it

[kind forge]

lol

[north lance]

a great relic for this build, but it’s been slammed with T7 mana🥹

[kind forge]

i do think killing myself with harvest is kinda funny lol

[old hull]

Did you see the death seal "definitely probably cold conversion" teaser from last friday? I just got caught up 😂

[kind forge]

ye i saw

i think its just cosmetic change tho

cuz they didnt show us anything else

[old hull]

Could be an mtx, yeah. But seemed deathchilly to me

[north lance]

I just realized I don’t have much gear to imprint for Lich besides the 7766 wand. Can I use armor from another class for imprinting?

[gritty cargo]

if its not class specific parts

[north lance]

Does the Weaver tree have anything that increases the drop rate of spoons from Exiled Mage?

[kind forge]

not directly ... but you can guaruntee a runed prison in every cemetary/tomb and you can get a 40% chance for them to spawn 2 instead of 1 by freeing them

so basically more chances to roll the dice

you could also grind rune complex woven echos and then spam them and get 25 exiled mages per ... cant buy them from the vendor

[drifting temple]

mana is also great for lich so i see no problems

[north lance]

Yeah, I also think I'll use it temporarily until I get something else

[drifting temple]

i mean your 3 main damage sources are crit multi/int/mana( when crit capped) and i don't know really what is better . i have no math about it

[north lance]

If you have both, just equip them and fight Uberroth to see how long it takes

[gritty cargo]

Int doesn't do much for damage it's more of a defensive thing

[kind forge]

int is the worst of the 3 is all i know

id say its between mana and crit multi ... and mana gives you more flexibility

[gritty cargo]

Int scales the lich armor and doge and if you get to 180 attributes it's the red ring damage mitigation

And ward retention and a few other little things in the trees

Building dot and aliment crit isn't really that big either

[obtuse quest]

It does if you're running mad ladle which gives you cast speed per int.

[kind forge]

never realized how convenient the 3 curse necklaces might be

the all res mostly

and its a bone ammy

[drifting temple]

we were talking about stygian coal

[gritty cargo]

16 int still doesn't do nearly as much as 120 spell damage

[drifting temple]

what is source of this 120 spell damage

[gritty cargo]

On 1 LP item chosing to slot 120 spell damage instead of 16 int

[drifting temple]

on which item

[obtuse quest]

And how are you slotting 120 spell damage?

[gritty cargo]

Any item that has the option for it? Lol ring

[obtuse quest]

Aren't we like talking about a specific slot?

[gritty cargo]

No it's a general spell damage > int

[drifting temple]

how can it be general if int is basically more multiplier here

[gritty cargo]

Spell damage is also a more multiplier here

[drifting temple]

it increase

[gritty cargo]

48%

[obtuse quest]

Spell damage is an inc in affixes no? How is it a more modifier?

[gritty cargo]

Ladle

[obtuse quest]

Okay, and where does ladle turn it into a more modifier?

[gritty cargo]

120 x 1.48 =

Idk it's time for leaving this is stupid

[obtuse quest]

Honey, that 48% applies to everything.

So int would be 8% cast speed, 64% inc and 30% more

Now that I look at it Int seems even better with ladle lmao

Cast speed is good.

[gritty cargo]

16 x 4 x 1.48 x 1.08 = 102 powerspike
120 x 1.48 = 177 powerspike

Idk int is not better

[obtuse quest]

120% also assumes you got 0% spell inc, same with the 64% inc from int

Int simply gives more things to multiply.

[gritty cargo]

Literally same thing here. Would you rather do more DPS with heavier hits that happen slightly less, or do Less DPS with weaker hits that happen more often

[obtuse quest]

YOur result changes if you do that same calculation already have some spell incs

As I have been recently reminded by witchfire, seperate multipliers is most likely better than stacking the same one.

[drifting temple]

its not the same. . and its extra multi source for damage per second.

int giving you 2 sources of scaling

[gritty cargo]

You would have to have some wacky build where literally all cast speed comes from int where there's not even cast speed in the rip blood skill tree to make a point

[drifting temple]

not even talking about def part

[obtuse quest]

And you assume one will have 0 spell increases?

[north lance]

Lvling time 😭

[drifting temple]

also for some reason we are not talking about huge boost for ailment applications like armor shred with high int values

[obtuse quest]

We're most likely only considering raw numbers.

[drifting temple]

well when someone talking that it is better to lp spell damage instead of int

we should take all sides of the stat imo

and then im not sure it it is even a question

[obtuse quest]

Assume: 400% spell inc and 25% cast speed, 48% more from mad ladle
10000 dps base.

+120% spell inc
520% spell inc, 25% cast,48% more
114700 total

+16 int (+ 64% inc, 8% cast)
464% spell inc, 33% cast, 48% more
111017 total

Assume: 400% spell inc and 25% cast speed, 48% more, 50% inc freq

+120% spell inc
520% spell inc, 25% cast,48% more, 50% inc freq
172,050 total

+16 int (+ 64% inc, 8% cast, + 16 freq)
464% spell inc, 33% cast, 48% more, 66% inc freq
184,289 total

Assume 600% spell inc, 50% cast speed, 48% more
+ 120% spell inc
720% inc, 50% cast, 48% more
182,040

+16 int (+ 64% inc, 8% cast)
664% inc, 58% cast, 48% more
178,653

Assume 600% spell inc, 50% cast speed, 48% more, 100% inc freq.
+ 120% spell inc
720% inc, 50% cast, 48% more, 100% freq
364,080

+16 int (+ 64% inc, 8% cast, + 16 freq)
664% inc, 58% cast, 48% more, 116% freq
385,892

WIthout accounting for beam frequency: spell inc is better.
With it being accounted for: Int is better

Actual correct answer: Cap your crit chance ffs.

[north lance]

I remember last week I stuffed 4-5 Stygian Coal 3lp with low prefixes somewhere for the turtle, not knowing we only needed implicits 😅

[north lance]

i got it

[faint spruce]

whats the ideal case for bossing, to spam drain life or let 1 cast channel through and then refresh with full mana? ive seen a few comments about spamming it results into higher burst, but how so? i thought u cant have multiple drain life casts up at the same time. or to spam drain life during death seal window and then regain mana during the downtime?

[obtuse quest]

You can have multiple drain life casts up.

So cast 2-3 drain lifes, rip blood back to max mana, repeat.

[faint spruce]

oooh.

👌

[silver night]

the stunt lock is satisfying :))

[faint spruce]

shatter, shatter, shatter, shatter.

[silver night]

do not stand, do not stand, do not stand, do not stand.

[drifting idol]

300 corruption harbinger 1 hammer got me through 6k ward

real

[zealous sage]

Once a gain, Heorot is being bullied

[drifting idol]

what are the main sources to get more max hp?

[zealous sage]

more xp gain u mean?

[drifting idol]

oh

i mean more max HP

[zealous sage]

oh

I guess more hybrid hp in gear

[drifting idol]

hybrid hp is a rare affix right?

[zealous sage]

yep

[drifting idol]

🤔 alright

will add it to my loot filter

[robust bramble]

For the stygian beam, could it be possible that going acid skin+ stacking poison is better? That's like stacking ％Inc and cc with the same stat

Kinda like doing the same thing as the flame whip

[obtuse quest]

DoT can't crit, so idk how you're double stacking. Stygian beams also doesn't convert.

[robust bramble]

ahh dammit I thought I can convert it to poison Then it will be a poison damage hit attack. Thanks!

[obtuse quest]

If a poison hit attack existed we'll be howling in both fear and glory.

[faint spruce]

love this game... rip 2 slams on lp3, again...

[lyric bough]

is Damned a curse?

[obtuse quest]

No
