🔱┃sentinel

[dark field]

What about Aurelis and Palarus?

[obtuse perch]

What I like about LE is like.

It's not just thousands of players having 20 people play the game for them.

[turbid dome]

ye

[wet forum]

I mean I play PoE ssf unguided too, much like this game, but LE is undeniably way friendlier towards the playstyle yeah

Sorry I just have no words to describe this

[turbid dome]

congrats you just used words to describe it

[obtuse perch]

They're not even t5.

[turbid dome]

the worst part is its better than my old relic I grabbed in act 2 (: (lvl 73 btw)

[twilit valley]

Lvl 93 but 100 feels 1 year away

[turbid dome]

it kinda is

[vale ravine]

just pop in an erased sentinel with garbo stats and call it a day lol

[sterile latch]

lagon you piece of shit! Couldn't evade thru the tentacle

[obtuse perch]

I think the baseline of your build should be complete by around level 80?

[turbid dome]

haven't found one yet

[vale ravine]

F

[obtuse perch]

I am sorry

[tribal basin]

depends on if you need higher Base items but the skills should be done

[vale ravine]

tbf the only one i have was from a nemesis too

[turbid dome]

on the plus side I just got 12 glyphs of hope from an echo reward

[sterile latch]

not as sorry as Lagon will be 😡

[obtuse perch]

I could never play hardcore.

[lament star]

Campaign lagon ?

[turbid dome]

rebuke + the node that makes you take 60% less ele damage whiel rebuking

[lament star]

I lost 3 char to hc alrdy hehe

[vale ravine]

nah, just VR straight into the eye beam and die like real men

[obtuse perch]

Or just take no DoT damage XD

[lament star]

Right now i made it to empowered with bleedlock, having a seizure cuz it lags

[obtuse perch]

At least I'm assuming the breath attack is DoT damage.

[vale ravine]

hehe i guess they still ahvent fixed chaos bolt memory leaks

[lament star]

Im thinking about making a bleed bash VK after that

Got some lvling gear for alts

[quiet hearth]

as is tradition

[lament star]

Btw shield bash scale with melee speed and block chance with node right @

[unreal holly]

I was wondering about this as well.

[twilit valley]

Playing on a legion go …

[lament star]

Any platform not pc is heresy

[turbid dome]

King Baka is embracing owobyss

[untold sky]

Based

[lament star]

Also that relic is goated

If u gimme that i'll lose it to the Hc gods hehe

[unreal holly]

Bruh that relic is godly.

[twilit valley]

Can’t wait to find a lp4 culnivars claim

[lament star]

Wait thats a thing ?

[vale ravine]

oh ye

[lament star]

No wonder then...

[twilit valley]

Any armor will all attributes besides core ?

[lament star]

I even made my game 1600x900

Very low graphics

[vale ravine]

they stated a couple times during 1.0 that it was fixed but my performance always degraded over time on my CB spamming lock even at the end, so i assume something might be still up

restart your client from time to time

[lament star]

I see ty

Im about to catch my zzz but ill try to remember the tip

[turbid dome]

;-; the ward one is T7

[steel star]

Tell me you Hate Lagon without saying you Hate Lagon. 🤬

[turbid dome]

rebuke > lagon

[warped blade]

people hate lagon? tf

[steel star]

now, tf. True fact or the f**k

[vale ravine]

im starting to second guess myself for going MG.... market is already giga slow compared to 1.0

[twilit valley]

Can these come with missing life ?

[steel star]

Circle is nuts. full sets at lvl 4

[steel star]

Now thats just rude.

[twilit valley]

Can frostbite shackles drop mono 100 with frost Lich ?

[turbid dome]

the missing life gained as ward thing is experimental so no, gotta kill rune prison mages

[twilit valley]

K

[ruby igloo]

Anyone use event horizon on some builds?

[vale ravine]

you can craft experimental affixes too but that's kinda advanced stuff

[turbid dome]

thats fair, I forget you can do that

still gotta murder rune mages for the crafting stuff

[vale ravine]

true true

i actually stopped killing mages cause i was like "i dont need anything" then i remembered you always need the glyphs lol

[turbid dome]

I just murder them whenever I see them

[haughty canopy]

quick meme question.. can we dw palarus and get double the chance to proc smites?

cos HH seraph blade is calling me

[ruby igloo]

You can cast smite as lvl 6 thats op

[haughty canopy]

i mean as a lvling build lol

[ruby igloo]

I used 1 only

Weapon base damage to low

[turbid dome]

weaver this is feeling personal

[haughty canopy]

ah ok...

[fair anchor]

Yeah, i dont use horn, even though i have it…. It drains my mana way too much. I run a T7 block effectiveness shield instead. Any shield with a good block effectiveness base and block effectiveness T6/T7 is just as good bro

[sterile latch]

Interesting that hardcore and softcore items are separated. But if u make a new character in hardcore u can transfer them to softcore by going to the stash, picking it up, then going afk in a group of mobs?

[quiet hearth]

rebuke > than most things honestly

[sterile latch]

rebuke > evade vs lagon. Evading through the eye beam left me at like 1 hp, rebuke left me at half with 0 points in it

[quiet hearth]

80% is 80%, no way around that one

[turbid dome]

80% less damage is great, for lagon lunge with invulnerability while lunging makes avoiding his sweeping beam easy.

easy lunges between the 2 tentacles

[sterile latch]

lunge has a way to lunge without a target?

[turbid dome]

paranoia helm, but you can lunge to the tentacles

[quiet hearth]

Im will always be salty that the invuln node is after 4 block point node

[sterile latch]

oh I'm not widescreen

[wet forum]

Lunging between the tentacles is so satisfying yeah

[turbid dome]

you should just be ablle to mash the button on the edge of your screen to target it

[quiet hearth]

I wonder if I could make a rebuke focused build

[vale ravine]

what happened with the poison 😄

[sterile latch]

you can also just run between them or grab a way to make evade grant invuln during it

[quiet hearth]

It works, I tried some other stuff but honestly the weird triple threat scaling works just because you get so much pen. I can only imagine how good it will feel when I get some damage on it

[turbid dome]

I dont think theres a way to make evade grant invuln

[sterile latch]

shield rush thru

[quiet hearth]

I have ONE dmg mod on my gear, a 40% dot on a ring, that's it, the rest is pen and passives and the ruby fang set

[sterile latch]

U might be right

[turbid dome]

you can ignite nearby enemies while channeling it and it has a spreading flame node

[quiet hearth]

spreading flame is kinda meh though

[turbid dome]

you can add +15 void damage to the base dmg per thing that hits you

[wet forum]

It'd be kinda silly if it wasn't, I feel like

[quiet hearth]

I just dont think you could get enough dmg out of it to be viable

[hoary grove]

Does the Path Of Fire node on warpath turn into some type of void damage/fire if im using the void nodes on warpath?

[quiet hearth]

do we have any way of just igniting things as we sit in rebuke?

[turbid dome]

the counter attack thing in base sentinel?

[quiet hearth]

technically a melee attack, and hits more often than you would think honestly

You'd have to go reflect

[foggy pebble]

is dual wield erasing strike VK viable?

[quiet hearth]

So our options for reflect are the attunement stacking shield, and the shield throw counter attack shield

also I see no reaosn why dw vk isnt viable, not optimal but certainly viable

[turbid dome]

haven't ever tried one but it should work, no void cleave tho

[quiet hearth]

False engi, you have that sceptre now

[foggy pebble]

does erasing strike calculate dmg per weapon, or combo of both?

[turbid dome]

dual wield treats both weapons as one weapon

[foggy pebble]

ooooo

[wet forum]

Think of weapons as stat sticks

[foggy pebble]

thats great, i just got such a nice 1 hander for it

[turbid dome]

send 1 hander pic, tis the rule

[vale ravine]

offense could work but increased damage taken on a melee sentinel is kinda bad imo

we are not really thirsting for damage, defense is our weak point

[foggy pebble]

yeah true

[wet forum]

There's also the forgotten knight set (or just the shield) to apply time rot to attackers
And there are a few cast-when-hit uniques too

[vale ravine]

if set on DWing probably would try to do something with void beams

[dark field]

I asked earlier and I might have missed. But is Aurelis any good?

[quiet hearth]

for an electrify build yes

[dark field]

And maybe stacking with Palarus? Moar smites?

[quiet hearth]

I mean, it wouldn't be that many, only like 30% more, but multi strike hits a TON so maybe. I havent tried it so I have zero idea what the interaction would look like

what weapon to use for this nonsense though

[steel star]

I want Event Horizon to work wit the Forge, but not sure it its good or not.

[chrome umbra]

man, the smite idol change is weird. I thought the procs would be offset, but they seem to go on sort of a cooldown when hitting the 10 per 2 seconds threshold

[dark field]

I think it would be great with FG. Smelter or Forge Strike

[vale ravine]

dont think there is anything which doesnt work with event horizon lol

[turbid dome]

anyone need a comical amount of fire res?

[quiet hearth]

omg I ned that for my triple dot build, I need so much fire res

[steel star]

Only issue i saw with Event is the attack speed reduction. But other then that.

[vale ravine]

like EH might be BiS bladedancer weapon lol

[steel star]

I dont have one to test yet, so dont know lol

[vale ravine]

i love that world splitter is so silly it literally invalidates the erasing strike tooltip lol

[turbid dome]

I didn't need the fire res so I think this is worth it

[vale ravine]

giga

[quiet hearth]

you lucky sob

[turbid dome]

this is like my 15th time rune of removaling a chestplate with a T6 flat health and finally not hitting it

2453 -> 2625

missing the T5 on the increased health hurts

[vale ravine]

imagine if we had a chest piece which could give up to 40% increased health!

[turbid dome]

goes great with eternal form

[vale ravine]

i got this from my nemesis bro

[quiet hearth]

I havent gotten anything good from those nerds

Hmm, maybe it would be better to go no cd shield bash and have a ton of riccochets

[turbid dome]

Carrying around a second darkstride boot incase I find one with the upgrade egg

[vale ravine]

ye im literally carrying a whole backup set lol

broke like 2-3 maws and world splitters already

[turbid dome]

F

[sour elk]

If you're MG, well rolled 0 and 1LP ones are super cheap! Or at least they were a couple of hours ago when I stocked up

[quiet hearth]

I gotta get into empowered maybe thats my issue

[vale ravine]

some yes, not from world splitter anymore lol

[turbid dome]

oh Ettera I haven't bought new prophecies in like 2 days

[vale ravine]

im legit waiting for the market to restock

[quiet hearth]

that is something I hate about MG, people buying everything out at once

[sour elk]

One of my favorite MG things is buying every instance of some stupid double exalt for jank, then doing it again a couple days later after all my slams fail 🥲

[vale ravine]

it's fine as long as market is booming but it is quickly becoming kinda deadge

[sour elk]

It's favor limited, at least

[turbid dome]

I love this lens

[quiet hearth]

yeah, when the market gets flooded no one buys any of the small stuff so you're just burning favor so it's like what's the point. I think you should be able to just vendor uniques for favor honestly.

[cobalt socket]

I got 2 red ring can anyone suggest what build use it plz

[vale ravine]

dont bother with bad stuff is the solution tbh. MG teaches you fast what's really value and what's trash

[turbid dome]

anything as long as you got enough stats

[quiet hearth]

only bad stuff is relative, not everyone is chasing the meta builds

Im gonna go suggest a beggars guild, where you can vendor junk items for currency to gamble for other uniques grim dawn style

[turbid dome]

[vale ravine]

doesn't sell -> bad

Gamba Guild 😄

[quiet hearth]

Bad is relative, once again, not everyone is playing the same builds. Some people like to experiment with goofy ideas

A popular streamer can say this item is garbage and instantly the market will tank even if the item is perfectly fine.

[vale ravine]

ye but as a seller as you said you need to minmax gold gained per favor basically. so it doesn't really matter how much DPS an item could be for a niche build, for you the item is objectively bad if it doesn't sell and you burned favor on it

[sour elk]

Yeah 100%, I play MG so I can have BiS for my wacky ideas, which makes them at least kinda ok

[quiet hearth]

Gold should just be removed from MG, let the currency be favor and then give a big currency dump in the form of a gambler.

[orchid juniper]

Does the affix "XX% increased damage while channelling" affect the smelters wrath explosion or is that technically after the channel is over

[quiet hearth]

So now it's do I sell for favor, or do I go gamble with it

[sour elk]

Though this league I'm convinced that my wacky ideas are actually great. Sword catcher is OP and everyone else is insane for not running it on their melee builds

Last league's multistrike triggered void smite DoT VK was more properly jank, enabled by super cheap legendaries + exalt affixes

[winter copper]

its impossible to get a good one, so far there was only one 2lp sword with +6 skillis and with 1lp its not so great compared to other options

[quiet hearth]

sword catcher is really good when you dont need a specific weapon set up

[winter copper]

so the rng kinda killed the weapon

[vale ravine]

well it's not really the RNG, it is active population

[winter copper]

i mean other items dont have issues appearing on the market. so no, it is rng

[vale ravine]

naaaaah facing the same with world splitter, and i reckon this is the case with many high end items

and soon it will be the case with mid stuff as well as people keep dropping off

but maybe we are just too early season, will see how it goes as people keep climbing corruption

I think a lot of people are also hunting down harbingers first which kinda spreads your efforts around, compared to going ballz deep in one timeline

[steel star]

my game hates me. my sentinal relic is dex, and javalin.....booo

[orchid juniper]

don't throwing skills scale off both str and dex? it's not an entirely worthless stat

[steel star]

true, but im not using ANY throwing skills lol

[vale ravine]

so i reach the edge of my corr 100 mono, orobyss node says I get 14 corr from defeating it and 12 from my gaze
I reset, I jumped from 100 to 154 corr. what am I missing

[turbid dome]

didn't they make gaze give more corruption

[summer shell]

catch up from a higher timeline?

mine did that too without any indicator but i had a 175 before

[vale ravine]

my highest is like 152 I think? kinda ass you dont know exactly how much you are getting, i think catchup was calculated into the tooltip before

[ancient bridge]

u mana stacking ES?

[vale ravine]

who?

[ancient bridge]

you

[vale ravine]

ye im world splittin'

[ancient bridge]

how you like it? big bonks/

[cursive compass]

With the new aberroth helm drop, you can mana stack and gain a new extra layer of defense for VK

[vale ravine]

"i never had so much fun on a sentinel before" good 😄 (and I played them every time since 0.9.2)

granted low corruption for now, and only 350 mana but you can see already it is insane clear

[cursive compass]

Sentinel EQ

[vale ravine]

on bosses you just pop everything dump all of your mana at once and you chew through the shields

[ancient bridge]

hows the defense tho? I'm thinking of rerolling my mana stack sorc to mana stack vk

Sorc feels a bit crowded

[vale ravine]

theoretically ~40k phys / 20-21k DoT EHP with maxed gear. it's not ward but it's livable imo
ethical build, you could say lol

it matters a little bit less now that you are clearing things half a screen away

so that's kind of a survivability buff in itself, mage style

[quiet hearth]

wtf happened, I go take a break and now there is a patch?

[ancient bridge]

true. Whats your average bonk dmg?

[vale ravine]

average is kinda hard to say cause it is giga buff dependet, have like 28 different multipliers
I theorycrafted 2M per hit vs level 100 minmaxed

[foggy pebble]

dumping ES on bosses is the most fun ive had in an arpg in awhile

[vale ravine]

and when you dump in the burst window, especially if you get enough mana to be able to double or triple guaranteed echo... i dunno, it's a lot of bonks per sec lol. 5-10M DPS for sure, kinda? maybe more?

[ancient bridge]

thats kinda nutty

[vale ravine]

but i mean if you want to dumpster a boss you just sub in an event horizon and do basically infinite DPS, so single target is whatever technically. clear what matters imo

[ancient bridge]

event horizon?

[vale ravine]

new hammer with like 70% pen and 150% or something stupid like that more damage

[steel star]

its got penetration EVERYTHING

[ancient bridge]

wow

[vale ravine]

tbh i dont feel like we will need it, but well it is there as an emergency break glass option

[steel star]

but its off the new Harbingers

that and im still chasing that new ring for Forge Guards. no luck yet

[vale ravine]

im giga surprised nobody posted a splitter build yet on letools

guess everybody sorcing

[ancient bridge]

theres onbly 1 yt vid

[vale ravine]

ye that's why i made the DPS sheet as well cause there wasnt really anything out there

[quiet hearth]

I just realized why I havent been seeing items....my lootfilter was set up for crit and not dots fml

[ancient bridge]

im sorc ing rn

There's also prob opportunity to make a RF type build using abborath command but im not sure how well it would scale

the dot is 350% with spell damage

[vale ravine]

ye was thinking about it but didnt really get too far with it

and well, bonk is life

[ancient bridge]

if you could offhand a wand or sceptre it would be clutch

[marsh warren]

for the hammer and anvil node in the fg tree it says "after directly casting an ability that costs 20 or more mana, your minions gain increased attack speed for a short duration" is there anywhere that displays the actual duration?

[vale ravine]

moment of silence for old anvil

[quiet hearth]

what about old anvil?

[vale ravine]

every time sentinel loses DR it is a travesty

[foggy pebble]

i wish we had talents for spears

[quiet hearth]

oh anvil stance

[vale ravine]

Mike did say tho they are looking into buffing sentinel defenses in the future so there is hope

[steel star]

id love to take points in VK, FG and Pal for the nice resistances in paly and VK, but takes away from potential damage

that and sigil is just really really good.

[quiet hearth]

When you have to choose where to go, that is a good thing. It means they are balancing the trees better. Sigil is great but I cant stand recasting it and that 6% on kill just isnt enough

[honest flume]

I'm wondering if ring of shields is actually helping me despite using a bardiche

[steel star]

i got lucky and got the ring that auto casts it, but i still cast it, its quick and free. but id prefer to put them points somewhere else

[vale ravine]

more of "erasing strike hitting things in front of you" showcase lol

[honest flume]

How's the poison FG coming along, Draven

[quiet hearth]

in all fairness, that is ONE singular talent

Great actually, now if I could just get some gear because my dmg is all pen and one ring with 40% increased dot, that is it

[honest flume]

I'm just starting to push corruption on my bleed/ignite FG but I need more EHP

[quiet hearth]

you and me both, but my loot issues will be fixed now that I unborked my loot filter lol

[vale ravine]

can i offer you a titan heart in these trying times

[steel star]

im almost pushing corruption, but its slow

[ancient bridge]

i still havent hit empowered monos lol

[honest flume]

I've got like 120% increased attack speed while using rive and 500% bleed chance and 200% ignite chance at base not including rive nodes, so my damage is fine

[vale ravine]

tbh that's kind the downside with DoTs, things will hit you before they die

[honest flume]

I already am using one 😭

[vale ravine]

ranged hit playstyle is just so much more inherently powerful

[honest flume]

I agree but it doesn't tickle my brain as much

[vale ravine]

ye i feel you

[honest flume]

The caveman in me wants to walk up to enemies and just hit them

But yeah I'm already using a Titan Heart but my EHP is 3.5k at most according to the planner

my base health is 1.4k

[vale ravine]

ye starting out in empowered is hard, i always try to quckly farm the double armor blessings, it helps a ton

[quiet hearth]

mine is 1060 at lvl 71 xD

[vale ravine]

yoinking things like this for 100k can also help 😄

[turbid dome]

gawd damn that idol

[vale ravine]

that's the only reason i put fgull double HP idols in my planner cause as MG i know i can do that lol

i had full inventory from these on 2-3 chars easily last cycle

[honest flume]

Not me wasting a good half mil on exalted attack speed bardiches trying to increase my dps more 😭

[vale ravine]

these harbies kinda slap

[ancient bridge]

u get bonked?

[vale ravine]

bonk, or be bonked

did my 150 so doable but actually need to play mechanics 😄

[solemn harbor]

Now... What is that doing over there...

[vale ravine]

like i dumpstered frost lich in two burst windows then was running circles around harbinger of war for 2 minutes

[winter copper]

that node is bugged and doesnt give any bonus on threshold

[marsh warren]

for the hammer and anvil node in the fg tree it says "after directly casting an ability that costs 20 or more mana, your minions gain increased attack speed for a short duration" is there anywhere that displays the actual duration? I cannot seem to find an answer online so was curious if anyone knew here

[quiet hearth]

anytime you see short duration it's 4s

[marsh warren]

thank you, is that somewhere on the screen or just something that everyone knows?

[quiet hearth]

should be on the node description iirc

weird it doesnt

[marsh warren]

ok I am glad I am not buggin lmao

[quiet hearth]

but if iirc it's 4s, so go hit something and look at your bar

[marsh warren]

when you empower a nemesis thing could it reroll the stats on the unique item?

[ancient bridge]

i just got clapped by the harbringer of fear

i clapped it

[quiet hearth]

clap back

that parry chance tho

wait, would rives foe cleaver node double the minion dot?

[tired cloud]

chat is this weapon good

[turbid dome]

It doubles it for rive, so unless your minion is somehow using rive, no

[quiet hearth]

lame

[turbid dome]

big bonk good

[tired cloud]

ive never played void knight before, what would you use it iwth

the stats on this weapon look insane, I feel like it could be so good

[turbid dome]

I'd use it with erasing strike and the new boots that make you immune while erasing strike-ing

or use a skill that doesnt care about attack/cast speed

[quiet hearth]

those new boots are stupid

[turbid dome]

which stupid are you saying

[quiet hearth]

the good stupid, like cant be stunned AND a less dmg multi?!

[turbid dome]

its the ima gonna get you boots

ES with a lot of vitality is always fun tho cause it makes the spell damage part of it do silly amounts of damage

[twilit valley]

Not bad at lvl 94 … will help me out

[turbid dome]

dang

[valid apex]

For the bonk knight build, I think a well slammed 2lp titan heart beats this, until then I stick with it, probs?

[turbid dome]

if only that was vitality ;-;

[quiet hearth]

it's so funny to kill one of those revives on 2s, and they revive just to get slapped with like 60 stacks of dots

[turbid dome]

or watching my echo slam the second they get up

how is the dot stacking fun times going

[quiet hearth]

now that I am finding loot again with a proper filter great, Ive almost doubled my damage. I can all but kill one of those ice giants with a single bonk boom now and only like 10% ofthat is the hit

[fair burrow]

Been thinking about what to make as my second character and dropped 3LP Falcon Fists just now, did I understand right they're good on minion FG?

[ancient bridge]

u give ur minions the gloves right?

[fair burrow]

With the rings I think yeah

[ancient bridge]

will they get falcons?

[twilit valley]

3lp … wow 2k corruption last patch and never found lp3 falcons

[sterile latch]

They're horrible. Give them to me. I'll dispose of them properly for you

[bleak breach]

does warpath travel speed get affected at all by movement speed anywhere other than on the tree itself?

[cerulean sorrel]

any increased movement speed you have on boots for example will apply to warpath

[bleak breach]

awesome, thanks!
next question is dumb but i'm wondering if there's any way, that's not crude, to just toggle warpath instead of holding it

[quiet hearth]

I wish there was a way to color my dmg numbers according to the dmg type so I know whats doing what

[twilit valley]

Sorry to ask , are harbinger eye .. the boss random or how to spawn them ? I’m mono 150 and only had 2 spawn at mono 100 earlier on

I should read up but lazy .. anyone know how I collect all to open portal

[quiet hearth]

oh no, I killed lagon and he dropped his stupid shield and now I gotta play a shaman

[twilit valley]

I have no idea how to get the eyes , have 2 but not sure how they spawn ..

[gritty mango]

bro ffs another whole cycle and they still couldnt fix the hammer throw mana bug

if anyone reading this is thinking about starting a hammer throw build: dont, the bug is still there and it will only frustrate you

[hollow spindle]

rotation bug?

[dark field]

I have finally got it

Now do I do Forge Strike of Smelters HMM

[sterile latch]

Wow early in the season there really isn't much surplus of stuff

In MG

[sterile latch]

let us know how it goes. Since it's so slow lol

[ancient bridge]

is leveling with erasing strike fast?

[quiet hearth]

Multistrike to stack it, then use vengeance with all the riposte and dagger nodes

[hoary zodiac]

i wana do a erasure strike build with it but it'll be so bad

[twilit valley]

Temporal Sanctum is bugged for me at times , like can’t switch maps etc

[quiet hearth]

Nah, go with the guaranteed echoes, then your AS wont matter as much, you will still need to stack it somehow, and I think MS is the best because each swing is worth several

fml, I wasnt paying attention and stacked monsters have 30% endurance AND less dmg taken

well time to litmus test my damage I guess

[polar juniper]

For HC, when should I transition to Shield Bash build from Forge Weapon build?

I have the 1H unique axe that’s required for the build.

[dark field]

Attack speed scales channel for smelters wrath?

[ionic spade]

usually channeling isnt affected (except warpath?)

[bright sluice]

does synthesis of light node in healing hands tree affect self? like does it increase my ward generation?

[karmic herald]

Is there another better ignite/bleed build than this one I can reroll into? https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/ignite-shield-rush-forge-guard-guide Shield rush bug sometimes and you get stuck so not optimal for surivabillity because of that

[tired cloud]

would this be good for an EK knight build?

[polar juniper]

Str = Amror

[tired cloud]

I've never actually played a sentinel though, so I don't know if there's like a required chest or not

[austere frost]

Depends it's good slam but titan hearth 3 lp is probably plain better

[quiet hearth]

It's not required but if you can overcap enough, that is a BIG less damage taken

[bright sluice]

btw a few days ago you said rive hh sucked cause they nerfed ward

still pretty good with lousy gears lol

[bleak breach]

"Does not fit in inventory," I wonder why

[polar juniper]

Push the Transfer button

[bleak breach]

haha ik, just usually doesnt fill literally my whole inv

[vale ravine]

hmm

try to slam or sell...

[quiet hearth]

yeah, shards should just go straight into the stash honestly

[austere frost]

What corruption you are ?

[quiet hearth]

i love ppl talking about oh this sucks because it went from immortal to mostly immortal

[bright sluice]

100, but im still wearing yellow items lul

[flat skiff]

What is a good level of health to aim for in empowered monos? Doing VK bonk build, I have 2k but sometimes I get my health shredded. Aiming for 60% endurance and probably more endurance threshold as well, but I'm gonna pick y'alls brains

[austere frost]

Ok talk to me when you get to 600

Then tell me id so good

[vale ravine]

im at 2.5k with no crit avoid and base endurance, corr 150. starting out is fine

[bright sluice]

i never said it was top tier, just that it didnt suck lol

[quiet hearth]

it's bait dont take it

[austere frost]

At 100 all builds are good xd

[flat skiff]

Forgot about crit avoid, that's a good point

[bright sluice]

you said it sucked, i'm just proving that even with ward nerfs i hit 1.6k ward

[austere frost]

My cold acid flask solid too prob

[quiet hearth]

Yeah you need some sort of crit avoid, I'd recommend blind it's so good to open affixes

[austere frost]

1.6 k wars nothing bud

Try tht at 500 corr

[bright sluice]

you're pretty delulu, even EHG said ward was busted.

[austere frost]

Buddy play more then make your own opinions

[bright sluice]

😂 , i hit 1.6k ward with stupid gears. ward is still busted.

yeah cool, i hit 1.5k last cycle.

doesn't matter to me what your opinion is, i'm just saying ward is still busted. ^_^

[austere frost]

Sorc 6k to 10k ward intended too

[bright sluice]

ward + endurance i'm pretty much a god

[austere frost]

I hit 3k ward with autobomber does it make it good to idk push higher corr at 700 answer no

Again 100 corr we are all gods,btw you ping you get response back that's all

[vale ravine]

i mean what's your point, you can push to 600-800 with pure HP builds

[bright sluice]

ok 😂

[vale ravine]

it's not about ward, it's about EHP

[jade cedar]

i want to plan my own build, but I don't have any idea what are good targets for stats. i.e., how much block chance/effectiveness/armor etc do i need? can anyone help me?

[quiet hearth]

not a bad hat

[polar juniper]

does anyone play Shield bash

[quiet hearth]

some of us have

[bleak breach]

sad it didnt roll higher than t4 rip

[quiet hearth]

they have got to revisit crafting again, losing 2/3s of your fp on a single craft WITH a glyph is just not good

[turbid dome]

(: we love loosing all our fp cause we got double unlucky

[charred stag]

any VK builds use this?

[open iris]

damn only 58 forging potential

[quiet hearth]

especially when you're in that transitionary phase where you NEED gear to progress

[turbid dome]

ye, you got any cooking ideas for trident?

also game plz stop being evil with my forging power

[twilit valley]

I’m probably going to remove ward later at higher corruption and save items I find to be able to .. I don’t see ward viable at 1000 corruption

[vale ravine]

wat

[quiet hearth]

for trident?

[turbid dome]

trident of the last abyss, what kyber linked

[vale ravine]

straight to trash

[turbid dome]

darn

[quiet hearth]

oooh, I'd have to sit down and see, maybe with that you could triple scale bleed, ignite, and time rot or something

[charred stag]

[vale ravine]

4 second ICD on something you can do already, stats giga meh

[quiet hearth]

people tell me stuff like that all the time and I make it work, you gotta open your mind bro

[charred stag]

[vale ravine]

Your Scientists Were So Preoccupied With Whether Or Not They Could, They Didn’t Stop To Think If They Should

[quiet hearth]

listen, Im alredy doing triple dot FG and might be getting ready to do quad dot. My memes know no bounds for science.

[vale ravine]

it sounds like you should add this spear to your build then, i heard crit multi and flat damage are good for ailments!

[quiet hearth]

cant, have to use the ruby fang set

[turbid dome]

I think the game is trying to tell me something

[vale ravine]

darn

[quiet hearth]

tell? it is screaming at you

[vale ravine]

unpopular opinion, i like shroud of obs better (totally not because I got an LP4 last league)

[weary wren]

to the void knight wiki...does abyssal decay duration also increase the total damage or is it just there to increase the buffs u can get from the tree?

[vale ravine]

i dont know about damage but i dont think duration affects nether coating buffs

think it's just the blind and fragility

[bleak breach]

which is better for warpath void knight? i dont have any poison-related stuff

[vale ravine]

otherwise i think it should work like any other DoT duration, it is basically a more damage multiplier if the mobs stay alive for the whole duration (or you trigger early)

e.g. if you tick 2k per sec for 4 seconds +25% duration would make you tick 2k per sec for 5 seconds (or 10k immediately if you blow it up)

[quiet hearth]

HH hands has access to electrify

and one of the first nodes in paladin gives you lightning dmg and pen heavy breathing

[vale ravine]

ye I think Dread even made a build for it last league

[quiet hearth]

but was dread scaling 5 dots?

[vale ravine]

no because he values his time

[charred stag]

[quiet hearth]

he's a streamer, he in no way values his time xD

[vale ravine]

ye but he is an LE streamer my dude, not exactly making you a millionaire 😄

[quiet hearth]

but in all seriousness it's only 4, if only because I simply cannot get time rot into the build

[lament star]

bruh i tped in a pack my ward went poof

[vale ravine]

2 void cleaves are 10 stacks, that's the easiest way to get rot

wait what are your 4 DoTs?

[quiet hearth]

Right now I have three, Bleed, Ignite, and Poison, when I respec HH I will get electrify

[winged pulsar]

I really wish they would give healing hands a lightning tag if you go the electrify nodes.

[vale ravine]

i mean at this point might as well add echoes and rot lol

[quiet hearth]

that's the thing, I cannot add it

there just are not enough ways to get time rot, actually, lunge can give me access to time rot

[winged pulsar]

Ya 1 whole time rot every lunge

[vale ravine]

what's your weapon? or you event horizon for the all pen?

[quiet hearth]

The Ruby Fang set, the axe and shield

[vale ravine]

hmm

[quiet hearth]

because as long as the poison is inflicted by a melee attack, it gets 47% pen

[turbid dome]

I wish I could make void hands

[vale ravine]

i mean i would pers go 2H, Rive and Cleave instead and do more of the sameish types but that loses the meme i guess

[quiet hearth]

I am memeing so hard

the only way it could get better is if I had a zero cost fire skill

[vale ravine]

like...
rive? 😄

[quiet hearth]

does rive get the fire tag?

[winged pulsar]

HH?

[vale ravine]

no but you can turn the bleeds into ignites with the hubris

ye HH should actually get the fire tag now right, it was fixed in 1.1

[quiet hearth]

That is the thing, it has to have the fire tag to work

.....I am blind

so HH is the thing poisoning so well xD

[vale ravine]

lol

[quiet hearth]

So, the only on hit time rot item I can find is the forgotten knight ammy, and that is a tough slot to give up

[pearl geyser]

why arent you just scaling a specific dot

[vale ravine]

tbh even tho rive is not a fire skill it hits so fast it prob more than makes up for that 67% chance

[turbid dome]

double swing rive for giga attack speed?

[quiet hearth]

Because FS gets a really stupid bleed effect and detonating ground gets really good ignites, and multistrike gets bleeds and procs FS

[pearl geyser]

also, you can make shield throw into a zero mana cost fire skill

[vale ravine]

yep, also triggering HH. think that's kind the fastest application you can get on sentinel

[quiet hearth]

Also for the memes dexa, for the memes, and it has to be a MELEE hit sadly

[turbid dome]

rive for laceration for another dot?

[pearl geyser]

ah

[quiet hearth]

then I dont get free forge strikes, but maybe I could make up for that since rive will stack ignites better

[pearl geyser]

i thought my build was memey. using manifest armour as a target for smite procs on throw

[quiet hearth]

well, if I can fit in the forgotten knight ammy I get time rot and void rift proccing

[vale ravine]

do rive created forged weapons apply ailments?

[quiet hearth]

yes, they inherit my weapons chance to...everything really but they dont add that much

[bright nest]

Does anybody know if minion damage scales dots applied by minions?

[pearl geyser]

it does yes

[bright nest]

do you also know if global damage buffs apply to your minions?

[pearl geyser]

they do not

like "increased fire damage" is only your fire damage

[bright nest]

yeah I'm looking at the bottom left of forge strike (more damage)
cheers

[quiet hearth]

the big question will be is will this all be worth losing FS

and then, what do I put in it's palce

[vale ravine]

i mean...

40% attack speed, extra weapons, 150% ignite jsut baseline

[pearl geyser]

i leveled with WP forge weapons, didnt even have forge strike on my bar

[quiet hearth]

the weapons arent that big of a deal

[vale ravine]

then you can add lacerate maybe, pull in, mana recharge, big utility as well

[pearl geyser]

12 of the swords is pretty big if you have minion scaling and sigils

[quiet hearth]

dont need mana recharge, time and faith is 10 mana per swing

[vale ravine]

what do you get from FS

[quiet hearth]

giga chad bleed and some ignite, the bleed in the FS tree gets like 200 bleed phys pen natively

[vale ravine]

need to do the math if the more fire, and focus on fire from set worth

i mean throw in a throne of ambition as well at that point

[quiet hearth]

thats the thing, I have so much pen it doesnt matter

[lament star]

yooo what is that ?

[quiet hearth]

actually there are time rot idols

[lament star]

oh its garbage. while not in combat wth

[vale ravine]

so abyssal echoes has this (besides it being a DoT and also having time rot chance)

if you stick to FS

[quiet hearth]

I dont stop attacking long enough to use that

[vale ravine]

can spec for auto cast

throw it down, keep pumping, recasts keep blowing up the bleeds

[quiet hearth]

and I could spec it for ignite

[simple raven]

morning ya'll. what i miss 😄

[vale ravine]

oh ye lol also has ignite 😄 never ever checked out that part of the tree kek

[waxen nymph]

Did they only fixed the bleed chance?

[quiet hearth]

I might try a variant of that later, because I could see uber stacking bleeds and then wham

[winter copper]

oh they fixed it? poggg

[waxen nymph]

I am very disappointed Misha 😢
I thought you were a Patch Node nerd

[quiet hearth]

Actually, it might be worth not popping bleeds just to keep up the echo for nether coating

[winter copper]

too busy grinding no time to read

[vale ravine]

that doesnt depend on the echo

coating is a fix 5 sec buff you get on cast

direct cast only tho, the recasts dont refresh it

[waxen nymph]

Killed your first Aberoth?

[winter copper]

yes on shield rush, was yikes so buggy

[quiet hearth]

I dunno if the ignite is worth it, it's just two ignites

[winged pulsar]

I got like 50 eyes in stash. Don’t need any aberroth loot in current build. Prolly do like. 100 kill aberroth farm sess next week

[vale ravine]

ehg needs to learn how to stack items lol

[quiet hearth]

in the year of our lord 2024, non stacking items

[vale ravine]

necro league was also giga fun with the coffins filling up every one of your stash tabs

[quiet hearth]

ok, so this is my project tomorrow

I could run serpents milk and give rive the forged weapons for another 200% poison

[bleak breach]

this is of zero use to me now but are there any builds that this would work perfectly for?

[pearl geyser]

its not a bad mod ot have on MA gear, even though you dont run multistrike. big number gets bigger with MA

[quiet hearth]

The rare ammy craft would be stupid, I'd need to seal one pen, and then craft on another

But in the end, we're looking at, ignite, bleed, poison, electrify, time rot, and abyssal decay

oh and the lacerate effect

[vale ravine]

if anybody ever asks I deny i ever contributing to this

[quiet hearth]

All you did was speed up the process, I would have searched the skill finder anyway

you saved people from watching my decent into madness over the weekend.

[vale ravine]

doing my part!

who am i kidding, this is not the end, you will find a way to go even deeper

[quiet hearth]

Im not sure if rive will be up to snuff, because those exta swords from multistrike are REALLY good for dots

[twilit valley]

Wow soo many

[bright nest]

still trying to make multistrike work but the more i use it the more I Feel pure forge strike or warpath just takes the cake

[quiet hearth]

I think that is literally all the damaging ailments tho

[vale ravine]

ohm

doom? 😄

[quiet hearth]

there's a ring for that

[vale ravine]

400 base dam, nothing to scoff at

[simple raven]

T2 temportal sanctum vs empowered monos 100 corrup, which one is harder?

[vale ravine]

ye siphon can have 30% on it

[quiet hearth]

oh and boots

[vale ravine]

ok now we need to reach ten

[quiet hearth]

oh frostbite

[daring lion]

Merophage is great for FG minions right? The all damage is doubled for Forge Weps?

[quiet hearth]

but we have no pen for that one sadly NO, apathy gloves gives global pen

future strike, can get that from a banner

[vale ravine]

ye fs ofc

is your gloves slot empty?

[bright nest]

I wonder, is a 4x1 pure armor idol better for a forge strike minion build or throne of ambition 2x2

[vale ravine]

cause ohm, ravenous void is a thing lol

[quiet hearth]

nope, gotta use apathy for global pen

[vale ravine]

sadge

[sterile latch]

I don't think throne affects minions?

[quiet hearth]

atrophy are the gloves Im thinking of, man I need sleep

[vale ravine]

i think this might be it then, looked over all

im afraid we didnt reach ten 😦

[quiet hearth]

we passed 10

[sharp moat]

what area level does the monument of protection start to drop at?

[sterile latch]

I like your thinking

[quiet hearth]

ignite, frostbite, electrify, bleed, poison, abyssal decay, time rot, doom, future strike,lacerate..so right at 10 my bad

[jade cedar]

meh, i egg'd it but it didnt give me anything good

[bright nest]

don't need it for minions, I need it for armour.
its 40% more armour and a little bit of damage on bosses vs 37% increased armour and flat armour all the time

[vale ravine]

now that's a proper meme

[quiet hearth]

what's funny is I will have at least 40 pen for each of them XD

[vale ravine]

get all of the shreds from blessings lol

[quiet hearth]

Im gonna need those for resits what are you talking about lol

...are we gonna count non damaging ailments in here too?

[vale ravine]

nah that's cheating

this build would have been great with a pre-nerf mad alchemist ladle lol

[quiet hearth]

wouldn't work because you need the ruby fang set

[vale ravine]

ah ye cleaver as well

keep forgetting about it

[quiet hearth]

..now I gotta figure out how the heck to get frostbite in here

[vale ravine]

who needs armor from blessing am i right

[bleak breach]

aight, fighting two whole bosses in a row for the last reg mono is annoying

[quiet hearth]

my only option are snowdrift xD

[vale ravine]

iiiii meeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaan

snowdrift aint bad 😄

[bleak breach]

make one mistake on the second boss and i get basically instakilled then i have to redo the whole 2-3 min first boss fight -_-

[vale ravine]

ye i might have bad news for you, but that's how it's gonna be from now on Pig lol

[quiet hearth]

frostbite is the only one we realistically cant scale too well

[sterile latch]

what nerf? I don't see it in 1.1

[quiet hearth]

oh, there's a blessing XD

[vale ravine]

nah dont worry it was 1.0. mad ladle didnt have a cap before so it scaled to the high heavens

[bleak breach]

just feels like a waste of my time when the difficulty between the two bosses is so drastic, first guy is a pushover i just lack the dps to deal with him quickly

i am still 13 levels under but up till now +20 under was no problem

[vale ravine]

ye harbies are def a step up in difficulty

[quiet hearth]

they are likely a bit overtuned but that's new content for you

[bleak breach]

the mechanics are cool tho, i just wish the beams weren't lagon level dps XD

[vale ravine]

i dunno, i like that we have a challenge but ye maybe the regular mono intro harbi could be a tad easier

[bleak breach]

i touch that beam and within a few frames i'm dead

[sterile latch]

evaded thru the beam for the campaign fight with max cold and lightning res, 1 life remaining XD

[quiet hearth]

so, we have to drop frostbite if we want this to actually work, but at the very least, bleed, ignite, electrify, time rot, abyssal decay, and doom will easily all fit in

[vale ravine]

hooolyyyyyyy

[quiet hearth]

those some good toesies

[bleak breach]

i have max cold and lightning res already but i can assure u, i would not survive dodging through it haha

[vale ravine]

hybrod health or bust for me personally but i hope it will fetch some muniez, case the 2LP world splitters cost a fortune
and I have a hunch i will need more than one lol

[quiet hearth]

this is gonna be so jank, I love it

[bleak breach]

lagon's is fun tho cuz it's a lot easier to read, but if we're bein honest it's genuinely a skill issue so i cant complain too much

[vale ravine]

is that the guy with the big hammer?

if yes, just literally run around it in a circle until it dies

[bleak breach]

campaign boss lagon, or am i misspelling his name, octopus god dude

[vale ravine]

no i mean the harbi you are struggling with

[quiet hearth]

yeah he always sucks, you either dont get hit by lagon at that point in teh game or you die

[bleak breach]

ah, it's some chick with a spear i think

[vale ravine]

ah ye she is a pain

[bleak breach]

the beam in question is the one that goes in a circle with all elements

the boss right before her i can just tank his beam with leech lol

[vale ravine]

so the intro harbie is random lol, that's prob not a good idea

[sterile latch]

Maxroll might eventually have guides for all the habringers

[bleak breach]

kinda fun to rip your hair out until you figure it out tho

[vale ravine]

when in doubt, run around in a circle seems to work most of the time lol

[bleak breach]

yeah that's the skill issue part haha, i keep mistiming it and running too fast or slow

[sterile latch]

Yeah mobs in this game like to use big attacks first and they like to attack where you were not where u r

Half my dodging is just not standing still

[bleak breach]

screw it, lemme see if i can tank her beam with leech too

[vale ravine]

Narrator: he couldnt

[sweet lark]

Anybody going crazy on Vk this cycle ?

[obtuse perch]

Lagon's breath surely is survivable for the half second you need to get to its other side?

[vale ravine]

ehhhhhh, depends on server ticks

[obtuse perch]

Everybody playing the hot new thing forge guard.

[sweet hazel]

I've been doing Forge Guard, it finally has a time to shine compared to when I played it last season.

[obtuse perch]

There's vks too lol even the occasional pal.

[vale ravine]

all my homies play bonk

[sweet lark]

Yeah I saw fg was getting some love, nothing crazy I just see the same copy and paste shield bash

[sweet hazel]

You misspelled Glacier Sorc.

[sweet hazel]

I'm using 90% crit rate hammer Nova with some crazy dps

[obtuse perch]

This isn't the mage channel

[bleak breach]

can confirm, leech is not that strong

[obtuse perch]

Shield bash is not a very good cycle starter

[sweet lark]

Are the minions any good ? That’s the only reason I’d make a fg

[vale ravine]

i wanted to buy a mana ammy for my ES build and quickly realized it's not happening

[sweet hazel]

For some reason the Maxroll hammer Nova FG guide doesn't use Sun Seal or rings/affixes that are dual throwing speed and reduced throwing cost, which is wild.

[obtuse perch]

Fair few people play minions, but I think I'm the only one who uses all of them at the same time.

[sweet hazel]

Much higher dps and you have zero mana management ever with the setup.

[sweet lark]

You’re insane in the best way

[sweet hazel]

The FG Minion build can actually be nutty now as well thanks to that new ring Phantom Grip

[sweet lark]

Maybe I’ll try making a minion melee hybrid

[obtuse perch]

You don't know how insane I actually am.

I do not use a traversal skill.

[sweet lark]

I’m coming back from vacation tomorrow so I’m trying to see what’s working so far

[sweet lark]

I don’t use traversal skills either !

[obtuse perch]

If you're going hybrid, might I present to you, manifest armor?

[sweet hazel]

There's 3 or 4 end game viable builds for each Sentinel subclass right now, perfect time to.

Our class is finally good, after so long of being the worst.

[obtuse perch]

Manifest armor lets you run zero minion stats and still have an effective minion.

[vale ravine]

paladins would like to have a word lol

[sweet lark]

I like the look of the swords ⚔️ gives me terraprisma vibes from terraria if you guys know what that is

[vale ravine]

HH pallies were like premier in 1.0

[obtuse perch]

I have not played terraria since wall of flesh was new.

[sweet hazel]

Yeah, but it was also the only build last season, as well. Healing Hands Rive was really good.

[sweet lark]

Go give that a play thru brother I wish I could experience it all fresh again

[obtuse perch]

Nah it's just too much grind for me

[jade cedar]

if want to go auto smite from warpath, should i go all in spell void and ignore melee?

[sweet hazel]

I could never get in to Terraria. Something about side-scrollee Minecraft Clone didn't rub me the right way.

[obtuse perch]

Especially the one where I go all over the world to get all the mats for the best gear only to have to go all over the world AGAIN for the best mats AGAIN except everything kills me harder now.

[sweet lark]

Grind is as hard as you make it tbh small world - normal difficulty takes a few hours to beat the game in its entirety.

Has anybody messed with the changes to void beams ?

[obtuse perch]

Void beams?

[sweet hazel]

Someone on Maxroll messed with it but the beams and es are still just really bad.

Erasing Strike is like Vengeance, not sure what they could do to make it actually usable short of a full rework

[obtuse perch]

Vengeance is a good setup skill.

[sweet lark]

I think people just haven’t committed enough to them, I saw dreadful play with it a bit before a few weeks before 1.1 and if I remember correctly they got buffed to 300% damage now from all sources. Worth a try imo

[obtuse perch]

It gives you a lot of defenses which is cool.

[sweet hazel]

Maybe, could see some limited use in monos. It definitely can't boss, though.

[vale ravine]

lol

[bleak breach]

hehe, screw ur beams lady, i've got patience on my side

[vale ravine]

that's a take

[sweet lark]

I love erasing strike during leveling but it falls off hard quick. I feel like the void beams arnt being used to their potential. I think they also changed shield bash to more consistently spawn void beams in as well. Not sure

[sweet hazel]

Out of all the meta Sentinel builds I've never seen a single one of Erasing or Vengeance.

[obtuse perch]

I kinda wanna try void smite one day.

[bleak breach]

does "x% increased class specific shard drop rate" mean like +1 to warpath for example?

[obtuse perch]

I've not seen a lunge build

[sweet hazel]

Yeah.

[sweet lark]

I saw a decent erasing strike build on the ladders a few days ago. No void beams tho

[sweet hazel]

Lunge is my favourite traversal skill oddly enough.

[obtuse perch]

Everything that falls into the class category in the loot filter.

[vale ravine]

I guess hitting for 2-5M per hit multiple times a second is now bad, got it
sentinel is never not meta because of damage, it is because of survivability. coincidentally if a sentinel build solves survivability it becomes meta even if it does way less damage than an ES build, see HH

[obtuse perch]

Yes but afaik nobody builds around lunge.

[sweet hazel]

Not unless you're using paranoia, but even then it's like why would you lol

[sweet hazel]

Yeah, it can hit hard, but it's not consistent, it's very conditional and this game doesn't favour standing still for repeated melee hits. That's why I mentioned short of a rework idk how they can solve it.

[obtuse perch]

Vengeance is kinda like that too. You can run it but you don't usually build around it. I think it's good for smelter's wrath, especially if you use 2H.

Can't go wrong with extra DR.

[sweet hazel]

Unless you're a Mage, then have fun having 16k ward standing in front of something and spamming Glacier every 0.1s.

[polar spire]

If void beams are still bad, then ima go out on a limb and guess that smite fissures are ALSO still bad

[sweet lark]

Honestly feel like survivability falls into skill issue a lot. Especially when people got used to abusing the broken ward builds and didn’t have to think to live. Easy = meta. unfortunately

[vale ravine]

well ES isnt technically a melee skill now soooo 😄

[polar spire]

Erasing strike? Unusable? Huh?

[obtuse perch]

Does anyone ever play void smite?

[sweet lark]

I think the hammer guys do

[sweet hazel]

Probably, but I'm going to actually mess with it, I've got a 3LP Palarus that I want to try doing a multistrike Paladin on with smite fissures.

[polar spire]

Erasing strikes also been 1 of the many highest pushing sentinel builds, dunno what meta you're following

[sweet hazel]

I personally think Erasing Strike is one of the worst skills in the game, but that's me. Lol

[polar spire]

Also don't mind me, im slowly scrolling down catching up on chat

[vale ravine]

ye it's kinda you tbh, but hey, each to its own
and ye it did push up to 800-1k range in 1.0

[sweet lark]

Good or bad erasing strike gives me the most dopamine out of any skill when it works

[sweet hazel]

At least Shield Rush is actually dope now.

[obtuse perch]

[polar spire]

Paranoia's also been bugged for ages

[sweet hazel]

I will admit I was disheartened to see the sheer amount of bugs still present. Especially the Co-Op ones

[polar spire]

It doesnt if your build sucks, standing in everything and face tanking it all are my fave build types

[bleak breach]

oh wow, empowered echos are uh, more difficult, perhaps i should not go in 23 levels under for this hmm

[obtuse perch]

Sadly they do not have the manpower to fix every single issue right away.

[sweet hazel]

me doing empowered at lv76 with hammer Nova lmao

[vale ravine]

welcome to the real game! training wheels are off 😄

[polar spire]

To be fair, sentinel has loads of additional proc stuff and thanks to the new smite sword, running the vengeance mace with the smite sword off hand with vengeance + smite and its associated idols looks hot af

[obtuse perch]

I don't think the level gap is the problem.

[vale ravine]

ye it's not about levels, but you need to get your surviability in order

[sweet hazel]

Multistrike or Rive with that new sword is what I was thinking.

[polar spire]

Oh yea dont get me wrong, i have between 2500+ hours on sentinel, and ive always hated VK

[obtuse perch]

Oddly enough, doing a few rounds of empowered timelines could help you get strong enough to handle empowered timelines.

[cosmic ivy]

got another one almost max roll

[polar spire]

Is it fixed and doesnt lag out if you spam the everliving crap out of it till your finger breaks?

[sweet hazel]

There's an S tier build out for it now, so I'd assume it's fixed.

[sweet lark]

Noice

[vale ravine]

that's actually a good one lol, gz

[cosmic ivy]

to the egg it goes

[vale ravine]

i got t6 damage over time...

[cosmic ivy]

previous one did not do well

[vale ravine]

F

[polar spire]

Try jaspers searing pride + laceration rive, and then that one node that does double damaging stats of your 2h and you slap T7 ele dot on the staff

[vale ravine]

aaand this is why there arent enough 0 LP spltters on the market lol

[sweet hazel]

I got this to happen in my egg.
Literal best in slot affix for it.

[polar spire]

Lets be honest here, shield rush has always been s tier

[obtuse perch]

I got an arboreal circuit with t6 health from like my first nemesis in campaign. Never got anything good after that.

[polar spire]

when it was working
Shield rush has always been the greatest hardest hitting dot stacker

[obtuse perch]

Needs higher tier

[simple raven]

its confirmed. Boss ward mechanic is a bit bugged. It does not always produce a ward

[sweet hazel]

I got it empowered to 5%, but yeah. Can't get the 10% from the egg, that has to be a T7 slam

[polar spire]

Because of its sheer amount of "more" modifiers, and being able to hit 3 times per press

[obtuse perch]

Can you elaborate?

[polar spire]

And if you mashed the everliving crap out of shield rush, you could hit 9-12 times per second

[simple raven]

https://youtu.be/PY1kHjbqAyU

[ionic spade]

sadly online its gonna die and desync

[polar spire]

Couple that with T7 all resists while channeling on relic, and shield rush was poggies

[simple raven]

i just did this clip and they said its the first time they saw it. u can clearly see 2 first diamonds break without producing a ward, but the next 2 does produce a ward

as a thorns FG i do NOT have the dps (as seen) to break a ward in one shot, but it still didnt produce a ward on the first 2 thresholds

[polar spire]

Yea thats been an issue, funny enough werebear rampage can also do it but has the same desync issue, and funnily enough, werebear rampage can hit even faster than shield rush

But the difference here, is shield rush can run ward on traversal boots + HH, wheres werebear cant

[ionic spade]

anything that can slightly push enemies can also desync the bane of my existence

[polar spire]

Ward on traversal boots + shield rush spam is hilariously op

[obtuse perch]

This is the first time noticing the breakpoints have visual indicators on the health bar.

[simple raven]

they always have and its a nice visual imo 😄

[polar spire]

If you have friends, force them to play a spriggan druid to spam you with thorn shields if you're running sigaeons

Spriggan dudu buddies heavily capitalize on allies running sig's

[cosmic ivy]

missed t7 mana 😭

[simple raven]

im a sad online nerd that play thorns FG. i have no friends 😛

[obtuse perch]

I wanna play a thorns werebear now.

[sweet hazel]

There's a shield bash build that cropped up that has 98% chance to stun with the no cool down thing that's breaking the game currently. Can stunlock basically every boss.

[obtuse perch]

Sounds expensive.

[polar spire]

I mean, sents could do that for the last few years

Build cdr and stun duration, you could solo every boss in the game stunlocking it to death. I still remember a couple years back 2 sent enjoyers were cheesing every fight doing exactly this, just rotating shield bashes

[sweet hazel]

Yeah, lol. Now you can do it solo while also doing very high dps. They're gonna have to make bosses immune to cc.

[obtuse perch]

Insert JoJo kicking dude meme.

[polar spire]

Yea i specifically told devs they're gonna need to make these new harbingers/pinnacle bosses stun immune, a higher shield bash cd wont stop 4 sentinels playing together and shield bash stunlocking a pinnacle to death

[celest flume]

Any idea how to improve this build? Forged weapons and MA are constant dieing and dmg is kinda low. Stucked at 20% with Aberroth. https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/Ba9PDL1B

[sweet hazel]

Abberoth already got soloed by a no cool-down shield bash build, he never even did a single mechanic. 😂

Glacier sorcs can mass freeze him in place as well

Pinnacles need to be immune, lol.

[polar spire]

Yea im honestly still surprised by that since the guaranteed stun goes out the window

[ionic spade]

too fast i guess

[vale ravine]

they were a little bit over confident that the new freeze and stun nerfs will do the job i guess

[cosmic ivy]

no way

[polar spire]

Which makes me think forge strike bleeders will have no issue, since forge strike bleeders build 1000%+ stun chance

[sweet hazel]

[obtuse perch]

Way

[vale ravine]

funnily enough that's enough crit to cap lol

[polar spire]

Yea ive been messin around with what classes have high mana cost skills

[bright nest]

hot

[cosmic ivy]

yeah that was 1st empower btw

i kinda wanted 2 LP for this

[bright nest]

whats the reason so many folk are nuking the CD from Forge strike while also having a 2nd main attack skill, makes no sense.

[polar spire]

I love obsidians for forge strike, sure bleed axes are usually better, but cant go wrong with obsidian phys either

[charred stag]

once you've killed a harbringer in a timeline, is there any reason to keep repeating that or just skip?

[obtuse perch]

The second skill is to get mana back. Thing is expensive.

[sweet hazel]

Best in slot blessing.

[obtuse perch]

Loot, challenge, but if you're boss farming, turn it off.

[sweet hazel]

Ohh like uncheck it yeah

[bright nest]

so you use forge strike as your main skills and the 2nd one for the passive trigger, got it.

[cosmic ivy]

ok man

[bright nest]

wouldn't it be better to use rive then anyway over multistrike

[obtuse perch]

Depends.

Multistrike gives guaranteed summons.

But if you wanna use rive instead go for it. It's preference.

[charred stag]

thanks @sweet hazel @obtuse perch

[obtuse perch]

Honestly if we're talking mana builders I unironically prefer vengeance.

[bright nest]

tankier too

[obtuse perch]

Tanky is the main reason why.

Also if you REALLY need mana fast, vengeance has a chest affix that gives even more mana.

[bright nest]

problem is that warpath is prob the best way to play the minion version and I hate it

[obtuse perch]

I use multistrike.

[bright nest]

same

[obtuse perch]

I don't think warpath is the best at all. A build that relies on a channeled skill is a whole different beast.

[bright nest]

the fact you don't have to give people a prostate exam to hit your multistrike and the fact you can keep moving is extreemly good
while generating minions without having to hit at all.

I wonder actually also if there is a dual-wield setup that might be viable vs blade catcher / maw

[obtuse perch]

Like you can be quite effective but you're going to be making a build that can spin to win constantly which means you do not want a button heavy build.

[topaz gale]

Holly nemesis the best 45 lvl and t7 330% phys DMG on spear

[ionic spade]

you can also use resistances while channeling but no way optimal once they start dying

[obtuse perch]

I also don't think warpath meshes super well with volatile reversal.

[foggy pebble]

what do yall use for mace ES in place of void cleave? Smite?

[obtuse perch]

Or void cleave.

[vale ravine]

would prob go with HH but im personally axeing

[obtuse perch]

Or anything that causes you to not be spinning.

[bleak breach]

with void rot multiplicative damage from the void rift it's good for some burst dps

[foggy pebble]

im tempted to go sigils cuz nemesis gave me

[obtuse perch]

It's hard to utilize well if you're constantly moving.

[bright nest]

if they ever rework multistrike it be awesome

[obtuse perch]

I mean multistrike does what I need it to do.

It gives me summons.

[bleak breach]

it's an instant cast though, and useful movement in boss fights honestly

[foggy pebble]

is there a way to make lunge cast without a target?

[obtuse perch]

Nemesis can give you a full spectrum of mods two of which are t7?

[vale ravine]

nemesis can also give you higher weaver will items which you can then cash in

[obtuse perch]

VR is useful movement? That would require knowing where you were (or weren't) 2s ago.

[foggy pebble]

i guess so lol, it gave me a high roll on weavers

[bleak breach]

dodge boss slam
VR
attack again

[obtuse perch]

Oh wait it's a WW item

[weary wren]

The damage buff from VR is too OP to ignore for any build honesly and its instant so it wont break your channel

[bright nest]

I'm gonna test rive, since rive gives minions faster on bosses

[obtuse perch]

It's not the channel that worries me it's positioning. It's too much micro for me.

[foggy pebble]

VR?

[obtuse perch]

This is another reason why I use multistrike instead

[bright nest]

I hate VR so much, I'm not taking it on my build. You can't stop me

[obtuse perch]

I can just stand in 1 place for 2s and then use it.

[bleak breach]

it's fun to incorporate a lil bit of thinking with the spinnnnnnn lol

[obtuse perch]

Also I just don't like channeling warpath. Surely it's not that weird?

[bleak breach]

nah not weird at all, ppl like dif things, i just wouldnt say VR is bad for warpath

[obtuse perch]

Warpath also doesn't utilize time and thingamabob.

Faith, I think it was faith.

Btw, I'm starting to understand that the purpose of axe throw procs is to proc further procs?

[bleak breach]

correct but mana regen from a source like that already defeats the purpose of continuing the channeling of warpath

[obtuse perch]

Not just mana, it's also % based healing.

[charred stag]

damn 29k ES crit, new PR

[bleak breach]

warpath's leech nodes are quite strong with void

i'm not saying you're wrong at all btw, just providing support for channeling warpath lol

[polar spire]

AYOOO WE TALKIN WARPATH? gimme that T7 all resist while channeling relic

[obtuse perch]

A lot of builds I make must be reasonably gear independent so I appreciate seeing things like this.

[bright nest]

a nice, smite as a movement skill, forgot that was a thing.

[obtuse perch]

Oh it has a teleport iirc?

[bleak breach]

XD it's what i'm currently running with and it's the strongest build i've had in this game so far

[polar spire]

I enjoy my T7 theorycrafting builds, and i usually get them setup pretty fast, but my buddies always rag on me to at least make a full T5 no exalts/uniques setup at the least, so thought i'd try my hand at it

[obtuse perch]

Why would you use it instead of HH?

[bright nest]

Does the Fiery justice node stack consumption any interaction with heated forge?

it doesn't right, since it has to be direct

[obtuse perch]

Like the build I'm using works just fine without the unique ringx2.

[polar spire]

Yeehaw, and the best part is, it goes through walls and over gaps as long as theres a target. Pretty often i run in a direction with cursor on edge of screen waving it back and forth while i spam the smite button

[foggy pebble]

ahhh, yeah, i also don't take vr, feels bad to me

[bleak breach]

😔 VR hate

[vale ravine]

they will learn

[obtuse perch]

My cat is petting me.

[polar spire]

VR is massive but its really not needed, before launch i was pulling 5mill + bleed pops without VR and FG has only gotten buffs since launch, so if you dont want VR, you dont need it

[bleak breach]

idek what causes it but there's some crazy dmg stacking happening when i get blind, time rot x12, 2-3 warpath echos, and vr on an enemy into more warpath, absolutely nukes some enemies seemingly randomly

[obtuse perch]

I like it, now that I took the time to study it.

[bright nest]

prob one of the better movement skills for forge knight, smite, if you're not running VC

[polar spire]

FS stacks stun chance for more damage, nothings going to hit you regardless since they'll get stunlocked to death

[charred stag]

damn shade wont give me Maw axe, 3rd siphon ring in a row and of course no LP either.

[foggy pebble]

im a VK tho, but assume same still applies

[polar spire]

And the boss DR no longer exists, so more vr damage isnt required

[obtuse perch]

But also it's more damage.

[polar spire]

Uhhhh in that case no idea, i mean again, boss dr doesnt exist anymore, so VR is only there for time efficiency instead of doing more damage to deal with boss dr

[vale ravine]

i mean no more damage multipliers are required technically but boy is it the biggest one

[polar spire]

If you have all the time in the world and can survive, VR isnt needed

[bleak breach]

ha, "time" + VR, nice

[foggy pebble]

mind blown

[polar spire]

I mean, ive made an afk focus mage build where i afk on T4 julra, face tank her nukes ALL while im not even in the room anymore, im in the kitchen making food and come back 10-15 min later to julra being dead

[obtuse perch]

Don't you need to hold down the button?

[polar spire]

If you can survive, thats all you need
@obtuse perch numlock autocast

[charred stag]

dont we get some debuff dps increase from VR? like the enemy damage taken 30% etc

[bleak breach]

i think this node is being overlooked possibly lol, this is an easy 2-4 second 48% more dmg buff

[obtuse perch]

Only for you though

[polar spire]

Yup, but which was massive when boss dr existed, but now that it doesnt exist, its all just time efficiency and survivability

[obtuse perch]

Useless for minions.

Also requires stacking time rot.

[bleak breach]

stacking time rot isnt that hard to achieve

[obtuse perch]

That said from the wording it seems this also increases the damage from time rot?

[charred stag]

so what's better now then?

[obtuse perch]

It requires you to do it and therefore not do other things.

[polar spire]

However, though its been super nerfed, one shot judgement with VR + smite teleports and javelin dashes (they dont share traversal cd's) was an extremely fun 1 shot build. Everyone called 1 shot judgement SLOW AF, but not mine, mine was flipping through maps at high speeds like a poe flicker strike with 2-3s VR cd's

[bleak breach]

i mean fair, but that could be said about any choice made on a skill tree

[polar spire]

I mean VR is still better, but if you hate VR you dont need it, just run whatever you want

Sure theres a meta, but LE isnt hard, just build smart, not poe smart, but you should be fine with a half a*s donkey build

[obtuse perch]

Yeah, but I'm saying that node isn't so much overlooked by me and more that it doesn't do much for me, specifically.

[bleak breach]

oh, i was speaking generally, not specifically for your case

[polar spire]

I've made 350+ builds over the last 5+ years, and 90% of them are god awful trash that can still handle at least 200-300c

[charred stag]

yeah VR helped fill some of the gap I had with dps but still feel like I get hit by a truck sometimes and can still get melted by certain things

[cosmic ivy]

200c harbinger, 2 erasing strike casts did 25% + 50% to ward 💀

[obtuse perch]

I run a shield build so I hope I have enough juice to keep up the defense game.

[polar spire]

Thats where its at

[cosmic ivy]

i don even build damage is the thing

just max debuff the boss and it go bye bye

[polar spire]

Just run smelters with a crit multi mace and crit multi slapped on top + suleron's steps, crit multi amu, crit multi relic

[vale ravine]

ye wanted to say wait until there is a T7 flat void damage on that splitter, it's gonna be insane

[cosmic ivy]

4 more to go

[obtuse perch]

Not sure what that has to do with defense.

[polar spire]

Smelters doubles your armor while you're using it, its not hard to get into the 10's of thousands of armor with smelters

[polar spire]

And smelters gets 100% crit

[obtuse perch]

I'm not running that as of current.

[charred stag]

can we see your VK passives? curious

[cosmic ivy]

not really optimized

[bright nest]

ugh smite needs a target?
RIP THE DREAM

[obtuse perch]

If you need targetless it seems that void cleave or healing hands are the way to go.

[bright nest]

it says "target location"
but it needs an enemy it would seem

[obtuse perch]

Maybe it means "target's location".

Still, has anybody ever tried using void smite?

[bright nest]

wasn't krip smiting with void

[bleak breach]

i might try it but it'd require reworking my build a bit, i'm not really liking the heal right now from smite with javelin, doesnt feel needed with the leech

[proper flare]

Hi champs, so i'm rebooting my LE journey now with 1.1 is live, I'm a melee guy so so i'm sticking to the Sentinel, anyone has a build they can recommend for casual leveling? 🙂

[wise rune]

is there a particular subclass you prefer

[proper flare]

tbh I havent played that much but last time i ran some "spinn to win" build but im down for anything

[wise rune]

void knight cleave + erasing strike build is pretty fun for levelling, on paladin levelling with spell damage warpath is really nice and easy

[kindred condor]

hey guys I have a question I am a bit conbfused do I need to relevel now in this cycle?

[proper flare]

yes

[wise rune]

your old characters have been moved to legacy if you want to keep playing them or you can make a fresh character on the new cycle

[kindred condor]

oh I see thank you

I am struggling to choose between palaadin or void

[wise rune]

you can't go wrong with either really they both have a lot of fun builds

i'm playing warpath paladin right now but i plan on playing a void knight after

[kindred condor]

I was a rogue last cycle but that got aa bit boring

[bright nest]

til dots on gear (boots) also apply to forge minions

[kindred condor]

any recommendations on guild? is cof better or mg?

[polar spire]

OH HELLO I JUST REALIZED A NEW RANGED LIGHTNING BUILD

Javelin, smite, forge strike, healing hands
Forge strike has the ability to be castable from range and still count as melee, HH is used on the target of a melee hit, javelin has 25 reduced mana cost of next melee, and HH has electrify with electrify spread. I can run the jav + fs loop with smite on throw idols and run around spam chuckin lightning everywhere

[wise rune]

merchants guild allows you to get your build online a lot faster but CoF is also really good and a lot of people find it more fun, kinda just depends if you prefer finding gear yourself or using the market for it

[kindred condor]

I do not like trading at all

[somber swan]

Hey guys HH Seraph Blade base crit chance increase with sword mod " % melee crit chance " ?

[wise rune]

then definitely go CoF

[polar spire]

Sounds like you answered your own question

[polar spire]

Yea its a melee with seraph blade

[tidal fulcrum]

Is there a way to get the Javalin trail thing to be bigger?

[somber swan]

thanks! , another question about crit chance , if base crit chance is 5% + 10% ( from sword mod) , my 300% global critchance will apply to 5% base or 15% total ?

[sterile latch]

Total

Man getting 100% crit chance for forged weapons is tough without legendary gear. Wonder if that no cd shield bash will be better late game

[vale ravine]

send help

[somber swan]

thanks !

[wise rune]

is this a good ring for FG

[fiery stirrup]

does healing hands autocast triger prayer?

[charred stag]

this glyph does not exist istg

[stoic cape]

[sterile latch]

Despair 😭 ( I wasted some on a t2)

abomination you say? 😉

[polar spire]

Oh trust me, this is by far the worst abomination by sentinel standards ive possibly ever crafted

i mean that bleed build seemed pretty delightful

Nvm its a status build I guess

[fair burrow]

Sorry to piggyback but if you went with falcon fists, what weapon would you want to use? Was looking at radiant axe with its fire melee dmg and fire pen implicits vs trident for crit multi

[sweet hazel]

Same. I've already got a character level 100 and started a second and I've dropped like 3 of those total.

Meanwhile; 57 Runes of Ascendency.

[charred stag]

the fact that they are godly rare and still have a chance to fail on use is mind blowing. I understand its arguably the strongest end game glyph but come on.

[sweet hazel]

They are, sealing a potential T5 affix away and then adding another is insanely strong but they also shouldn't be as rare as they are imho.

Out of the three I dropped, all three have failed.

[wise rune]

i have 3 so far and i'm not even at empowered yet

[sweet hazel]

That's some crazy RNG. Blessed.

Glyph of Despair is like Ber levels of rare in D2.

[wise rune]

idk that seems pretty standard from all the other times i've played

i think you two are just super unlucky

[sweet hazel]

Throughout last season and this one so far I don't drop them often at all, and when it comes to them succeeding/failing, I'm very unlucky.

[polar spire]

Aight ima be honest, this is a complete abomination that will most likely not work, but holy sh*t
