How important is it to get the right implicits compared to the right stats when building for 200ish corruption? I've put together a loot filter that hides everything but the one implicit for each slot that I want, and asks for two good affixes at at least T4. This has, predictably, left me with basically no drops. I'm having a lot of trouble at Corr 200 and I definitely have space in my build to swap some stuff out, but I haven't been able to find gear that will be direct upgrades in the right implicit.

This is the guide I'm following: https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/judgement-aura-paladin-guide#gear--header It's a Judgement build, it uses Holy Aura and Volatile Reversal for extra damage and Javelin/Holy Trail for healing.

And here's the build I have now: https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/DuckTapeAl/character/DuckTapeAl

I swapped out Healing Hands for Sigils and I use Orian's Sun Seal to keep them up. I'm wildly overcapped on my resistances, but I haven't been able to find anything to replace stuff with yet.

Any advice would be appreciated.

is that ring stacks if use 2 ?

is someone tested is they stacking if you cast smite `? like lighting storm xD ?

@ruby iglooits working but its bad

playing 2 swords is bad

Cof is good for legacy

sterile latch
#

Not too much trade in legacy. U can't get lp gear for a lot of stuff if u rmt for it. And by the time u've gotten 5 classes in cof you probably have a decent collection and could benefit less from trade

I'm nowhere near the point where grinding for LP is a thing. I can't even do Julra reliably yet. šŸ˜…

Does the summon forged weapon node in warpath cost mana when it procs?

waxen nymph
#

No

arctic basin
#

Oh ok good, I was worried I would run OOM in no time

waxen nymph
#

You still need to take care of Warpath Channel Cost

yup, took those nodes and working my way to FW

@eternal jackal

#

just take one of this stats to 100, and ignore the other

#

and hp / armor

eternal jackal
#

Where do you think I could add it in / search for replacements? I've been trying to grind for salt the wound for days with no luck, currently all my gear has no crafting potential left or already has tier 5+ on each slot

noble zenith
#

well i dont really know this build

#

and i see only 1 player playing the same skills as you in the ladder so i cant really check what is played with this build :s

eternal jackal
#

No worries, I was following the maxroll build

#

I can probably find the Grand Survival of the Might blessing to help with the avoidance

twilit valley
#

Just realised you can open your stash at nemesis after 400 hrs on new season

Do blood of the exile still drop with cof ? Soo many favor used and still no blood 🩸 exile drop .. just unlucky ?

dusk oriole
#

I tried a void knight after playing BD, lich, and sorc, and my god is it fun

#

it goes zoom boom and tchktchktchktchk (void cleave as a traversal skill, erasing strike, warpath)

#

experimenting with the time bubble thing now, looks like another fun stuff

twilit valley
#

Finally got the blood of the exile drop on cof , took ages

south ledge
#

Yo. I was trying to put together a type of "void mage" void knight. I don't want to use smite though, so I was looking at devouring orb, abyssal echos and anomaly. I used the Omnividence two handed staff.

I like the possibility to build into high HP while having good spell void damage. Also I don't want to build damage over time. But somehow it didn't reall work well. The anomaly time wave hits pretty hard, but that's about it. Since it has a long cooldown that's not really reliable. Any suggestions?

lament star
#

does manifest armor apply sunforged set effects ?

#

can it summon its own forged weaps ?

fair hollow
#

No it cant

lament star
#

too bad

fair hollow
chilly peak
#

I only see very few builds on LEtools that combine Hammer/Smite with Stormcarved Testament.
With Mana, Spelldmg and Lightning Pen it seems to have 3 really good stats to me.

Any downsides that I oversee here?

im eating good

twilit valley
#

Is there any way to get block chance to 100% using flayers pride . I really love the shield for bleed hammers but don’t think it’s possible to get to 100% using it

twilit valley
lament star
#

shield bash/ring of shields give tons of block chance

#

sigil of hope also give block chance

twilit valley
lament star
#

and ofc u got like 10% block chance on the tree

twilit valley
#

Currently at 75 and block effectiveness is nice . Have nice bleed dmg and would like to stick to paladin but might have to swap to FG if I want to get block chance higher . Can’t see this build getting to 85-90 with paladin

#

Sorry had pics - really love using the shield with bleed hammers

#

Once I find better rings , I might swap to FG to use ring of shields

lament star
#

bro i cant see

#

thats so blurry

twilit valley
#

Haha yeah sorry - used my mobile from 10 metres away

lament star
#

do u alrdy use shield bash to get 75% ?

twilit valley
#

No

lament star
#

that's like 15%

twilit valley
#

Ok I’ll use - that’s 90 , and can get few more from rings

#

I’ll still struggle to get 100 unless I swap to FG and use shield of rings

lament star
#

its better to use shield bash since u can have no cooldown, ring of shields has a long cd and apply block only for 4sec

#

what about sigil of hope ?

twilit valley
#

I’m using soh for more block chance

#

Anyway thanks for the info - it helps heaps

#

I’ll mess around with what you said and see how high I can get it

lament star
#

then u have the block chance blessing (5-8%)

twilit valley
#

Off to dinner now . Cheers for the reply ..

twilit valley
lament star
#

age of winter

twilit valley
#

Ahh yeah have that at 7%

#

Tried 50 times to get 8%

#

lol ,, just won’t give it .. like wtf

lament star
#

great place to farm aurora tho

twilit valley
#

Yeah I have a few but all lp1

lament star
#

i need that so much so my hc FG will never die

twilit valley
#

Need to find a nice lp2

lament star
#

u can throw the non lp to nemesis

twilit valley
#

Yeah I have but keeps giving me poop

#

The bigger the corruption for nemesis the better the results after empowering ?

#

Or is it random no matter what corruption

lament star
#

idk

twilit valley
#

Ok ..anyway thanks for info and gl

#

Back later .. cheers

lament star
#

bye

lament star
#

which one for forged weapons ?

ruby igloo
#

dam i wanna fix my smitecaster paladin but so hard to take like best passives out

#

whats best shield if you want like max block % ?

dusk oriole
ruby igloo
#

wear it same time you destroy sword

#

but maw stronger aniway

lament star
#

nah merophage was way superior i tried maw and it was slow af

ruby igloo
#

on forged weapon maw make 100% more dmg

lament star
#

problem is they die fast if u dont have aps to sustain with HH

#

and the aps is garbage since u dont get bonus from FG tree

ruby igloo
#

i playd now like 2 season forge guard šŸ˜„

#

but if you like go sword

#

but axe much stronger

lament star
#

i mean im still on lvling build

#

ive seen the axe version too but i'd have to have the gear + remake tree

ruby igloo
lament star
#

doesnt matter if ur weapon atk slower

ruby igloo
#

speed not matter. dps matter

lament star
#

ah but you're playing warpath

ruby igloo
#

on warpath speed make it faster to

lament star
#

on multistrike axe is bad without aps

ruby igloo
#

i use same axe on multistrike to

lament star
#

you're hitting so slow tho...

ruby igloo
#

nope

#

game shows like 2x more dps on axe

lament star
#

game shows, but i tried apathy and it was not good on my build

#

also the dps is multistrike not forged weapon

ruby igloo
#

okei if you know your answer why you ask for us then

lament star
#

i asked before trying

ruby igloo
#

ok bye

fair hollow
#

For forged weapons i prefer a odachi, 180% crit multi is too much to ignore

dusk oriole
#

is there any updated void knight build for 1.1 ? I only find 4 months old stuff

ocean pine
#

Does anyone know how Monument of Protection (https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAwRgLAzAbBQ) interacts with "Titan Sword"-enhanced Manifest Armor and forged weapons in general, and which affixes/implicits, excluding the obvious sentinel-skill-related boons, are inherited, if any?

waxen nymph
#

If I had to guess, they would get everything

#

Except of course the flat for SR and SB

#

But that sound really low dps

#

There is very little Flat Dmg and no Chance to apply X Ailment on hit

digital surge
cosmic mist
#

palarus's sacred light has smite on meele hit up to 3 times per second, is this 3ps max unqiue to each sword? e.g. if i have 2 palarus's can i smite up to 6 times per second (3 for each sword) or 3 times per second?

waxen nymph
#

Still 3 per sec

#

But the chance to cast are doubled

cosmic mist
#

ty

ocean pine
noble zenith
#

You cant play 2 palarus anyway because you need sceptre

fallen onyx
#

If i wanted make a sword an board build which mastery and setup would i use?

waxen nymph
#

Vk > More Dmg
Paladin, 'FG >' More Tankyness

winter copper
#

to be precise paladin isnt more tankiness, but is cheaper to setup

winter copper
rain field
#

Anyone know if hammerdin does well in high wave arenas?

cursive rose
#

if im wearing a 30 pene 30 minion pene sword

#

does that mean my minions and forgepokeman have 60 pen

#

because they are my minions and they are the swords themselves

#

and is it worth it to do minion dodge on swords?

#

i did that with my bee build and it worked out well except dots, but it might not be worth it without dot mitigation but the swords are doing tons of dmg but are constantly getting mercd by bosses

#

but I doubt you can really do much about that except controlling them with A to a degree

waxen nymph
winter copper
#

fg has dr passive, attunment scaling and % block effect so much tankier than both of them

cosmic mist
noble zenith
#

depends on your build, but smite / warpath build, sceptre are mandatory with the affix that reduce smite mana cost by 3, and yeah, the obsidian one with a big base spell damage is the best

lament star
#

what if it's a MoM VK ?

noble zenith
#

palarus is played on something else than warpath/smite ?

cosmic mist
#

MoM?

dusty pendant
#

So I am looking to try a pally build but I dont have much time to play. I always try to get the more OP easy builds that allow me to progress and get to end game without much gameplay as normal. I was looking at the hammerdin but someone also said something about warpath and smite. Is there a better build? I havent run a pally yet in this game just wondering what is a good idea.

dusty pendant
#

@winged pulsar ok. is there a build on Maxroll for that?

cosmic mist
dusty pendant
#

@cosmic mist perfect thanks for the input

cosmic mist
#

Honestly just a pick a build you like the look of

dusty pendant
#

haha yah

noble zenith
#

hammerdin easier than smitepath, you just go straight forward to the build, while you will have trouble leveling with warpath its much harder

#

but smitepath feel so good to play

dusty pendant
#

so should i just follow the bleed hammerdin build off maxroll or go do the pally leveling build then transfer over to the other build?

lament star
#

meaning > % dmg taken to mana build

#

and u get endurance on mana too with some uniques

dusty pendant
#

Gotcha

zealous lava
#

ahhhhhh....cant' decide what mastery to pick

lament star
#

forge guard

#

im so tanky with sunforged helmet

#

hollow holly
#

Hey guys, I'm looking for some suggestions. I have a Void Knight, level 75. I am currently doing lvl 90 normal timelines to unlock empowered. I feel that my damage is relatively low. I know that it is because of my weapons etc so that's not the problem as much. I am following the Rive Void Knight guide from maxroll.
I just want to ask if you know of a high damage output build that may be better than Rive Void Knight so I can spec into it and work with that. The gameplay of Rive does not sit well with me that much so I'm just wandering if there's something "better" out there

lament star
#

erasing strike is pretty good

#

but it's not a one button build

hollow holly
#

Doesn't have to be a one button build really. You have a guide/build that I can look at?

lament star
#

check youtube i do it without guide since it's pretty easy to understand

#

basically run void cleave with autocrit for erasing strike

hollow holly
#

thanks! any specific youtubers that I should focus on ?

lament star
#

just get as much flat void melee on your 2h and slam your way to empow

velvet swallow
#

Hey guys! What's the most optimal way to play Forge Guard? Double shields, or perhaps 2 hander?

lament star
lament star
#

make sure to use this when reaching lv72 ;> that's a lot of armor and hp regen

velvet swallow
# lament star shield bash lvling is pain dont do it :>

I believe you :p any particular guide out there that covers leveling aswell as endgame? There are so mana guides out there and I don't know which one is better than the other since I've never played Forge Guard before.

lament star
#

maxroll forge guard leveling is good enough

velvet swallow
#

Ok cool thanks again šŸ‘

lament star
#

it's pretty nice since it's a summon build. you can zoom the campaign

velvet swallow
lament star
#

forged weapon are summoned when using forged strike

#

its very smooth they hit hard if you have a nice 2h weapon

#

and once u get void cleave with molten infusion they are crazy

#

u get 15 flat x5

#

then the next node inc the effect by 150%

velvet swallow
#

Damn... you really got me excited to try it now, since as I said, I've never tried out Forge Guard before so this is gonna be wild šŸ™‚

lament star
#

the build is immensely tanky. im playing hc and its really hard to die with it

barren spire
#

I cleared the winter mono 6 times and still I haven't seen the armor blessing, is it normal?

waxen nymph
#

Unlucky

#

Are you at 200C to get the 5 chances ?

zealous lava
#

how does dual wield affect attacks?

waxen nymph
#

The Melee Attack Rate is combine into the average between the 2 weapons

zealous lava
#

wouldn't the same effect happen if it was a shield?

waxen nymph
#

Well a shield doesnt have Melee Attack Rate, and no Dmg on it

#

So not sure what you are trying to know

zealous lava
#

okay that's fair. Well it's not dual wielding allows/prevents skills from being used, so I wanted to know what it's benefit was to justify the 9% damage taken

waxen nymph
#

More Dmg because you have 2 weapons, more flexibility because now you have 8 affixes purely for offense

zealous lava
#

alrighty, thanks. One more question: ways to recover mana quicly as fg?

waxen nymph
#

Volatile Reversal
Rive, Vengeance, Smite with the affix and/or Time and Faith Passive

zealous lava
#

oh, VR is still available for fg, neat. Main reason i was asking is i'm considering taking the forge strike passive to remove the cooldown on forge strike

waxen nymph
#

Do you see the chain in the passive tree ?

#

Everything before is available for other mastery

zealous lava
#

Yeah, i just forgot where it was.

lime helm
#

How Can I drop an adorned idol? I know a boss drops it but is there anything needed besides luck?

warped night
#

do you mean specifically the throne of ambition or any adorned idol?

arctic basin
#

Is there an indicator on the enemy when im building fiery inquisition stacks for flameburst?

sudden cradle
#

Warpath/smite/holy aura flame burst pally. Happy to go all fire or stay lightning and fire hybrid. Just got a 3 LP palarus. What should I prioritize on the slam? Unsure about spellpower because you get so much from passives and devotion.

fallen onyx
#

What is the mastery that has the best mobility after VK?

digital surge
#

Is voidknight with cleave + erase strike abberoth viable??

lament star
#

and if u dont have it. you can use apathy's maw instead and not build mana but something else

digital surge
waxen nymph
#

Iirc Shadow Beacon is More Dmg than Apathy

#

But you cant use VC

#

Which is not that big of a deal

fallen onyx
#

Is there sword and board build?

lament star
dusk oriole
#

switched to beacon and my disappointment was immense when I realized I couldn't use VC, went back to the lvl 15 unique lmao

#

(until I can equip maw)

waxen nymph
#

Not a big deal the auto crit, once you slam Melee Crit on your Shadow Beacon

#

The echoes don't benefit from the auto crit, it has a cd

unborn cypress
#

If I'm going to make a Hoky Aura / Judgment build, is barefisted the way to go?

waxen nymph
#

What would Holy Aura do ?

digital surge
#

how are you VK's who lvl with voidcleave + erased dealing with mana while lvling???

lament star
#

you can get mana refund with void essence

#

basically you get a decent amount of mana and it should be autosustaining

#

u crit with erasing strike for void essence (usually if u hit a big pack u get max stack)

#

thats why i said its not a 1 button build because it has multiple mechanics interacting with each other

digital surge
lament star
#

u need more mana

#

abyssal is part of the build. if mana really is an issue put vengeance in your skill bar and use the mana on hit node

#

but having more mana really fixes your problem since 30% mana refund is a lot with decent mana pool

fickle tulip
#

Void cleave also has a node that gives mana back on Crit, but that one only mostly covers for VC itself

ruby igloo
#

where i can farm that main hand weapon shield ?

alpine canopy
ruby igloo
#

is that shield monolithe tasks or weapon unique ?

inner gazelle
#

anyone of you notcied that abby just dissapears instead of dying while using erasing strike? kinda unsatysfying just seeing him vanish instead of seeing the unique death animation lmaoo

wise rune
#

You erased him

inner gazelle
#

well yes... but i feel like thats kinda unsatysfying would be nice if EHG made an exception when it comes unique death animations, so you can actually see when the boss dies

turbid dome
waxen nymph
#

They can crit, with your Crit Chance

#

But they dont have Auto Crit

turbid dome
#

I need to go any actually look at it now

waxen nymph
#

?

turbid dome
#

My brain says that the echos always crit when I crit and my build has no crit chance besides the void cleave guaranteed one

So I need to go look at it because I thought that if I crit the echo will be a crit

#

I feel like I've lied to myself for far too long

waxen nymph
#

Sorry to burst your bubble

turbid dome
#

Not my time bubble

#

gregory but at least I know more now

cloud widget
#

Dex javlin what would be the best class?

waxen nymph
#

FG probably

cloud widget
#

Is that unique spear worth it? Or just bait?

warped night
#

One could probably consider on-hit javelin to be bait

cloud widget
#

Damn, so easy to get 3 lp Dex javlin T.T

warped night
#

The spear is in a weird place. Jav doesn't have many nodes for increasing on-hit damage, and one of them is specifically related to the number of enemies pierced šŸ™ƒ I'm not entirely sure if that bonus actually ends up applying to the bonus javelins, but it's definitely a weird synergy

alpine canopy
#

If by dex javelin, you mean bane of winter, then it is probably pretty good

warped night
#

I assumed he was talking about the one mages drop

alpine canopy
#

Probably, but that one is junk

lime helm
warped night
#

nope, just luck when killing god hunter argentus

#

should be a relatively common drop though

lime helm
#

on empowered timelines or normal?

#

I'm at empowered 151 corruption

olive saffron
#

Last epoch tools doesn’t specify a required corruption so just go in with some modifiers and pray

lime helm
#

I have the adorned idol blessing on lol. Is there a way to use the glyphs of envy on normal timelines? I've only been able to use the on empowered

warped night
#

normal timeline isn't going to increase the droprate

lime helm
#

but its faster for me to fill a normal timeline than an empowered one

#

or am I just crazy?

warped night
#

sure, it is faster to fill up the timeline, but you have much less item rarity so the droprate is lower

#

overall it'll be counterproductive

lime helm
#

YEah I guess you're right, I'll keep doing empowered then. Thanks a lot!

mighty cedar
#

Do any of yall ever get burn out?

warped night
#

of course, that's when I decide to put the game down for a bit and play something else. if you're not having fun playing a game why play it?

mighty cedar
#

Very true, for me I get burned out when I can't "unlock" a build I have made and I am searching for the gear I want from the builder ect and IDK I always struggle to get that and "identiofy" the new gear I should be swapping to ect and i get overwhelmed and then just end up with 20 tabs of exalts and not really knowing what I should swap or use ect

warped night
#

I usually swap to an alt at that point if something isn't working out

unborn cypress
#

Does anyone know if the Bolster node on Smelters Wrath actually increases Endurance Threshold? I dont know if it works and it just doesnt display it correctly, or if it simply doesnt work at all.

alpine canopy
zenith current
#

I want to level my pala ranged (maybe pala dont know which subclass is best for ranged) is hammerthrrow worth leveling with?

unborn cypress
#

I'm beginning to think that any build that relies on forged weapons is crap

lament star
#

does stun from melee also apply to this node ?

olive saffron
lament star
#

include stun chance from this tree

olive saffron
#

I believe it is only generic ā€œincreased stun chanceā€ but I’m not 100% sure. Most other passives like that ignore conditional ones

lament star
#

mmmm i see

#

also is this really a free 200% phys pen ?

olive saffron
#

That one is only for crit multi from the forge strike tree.

#

Still good, but I don’t recall how much crit multi there is.

lament star
#

100%

#

i mean... thats a lot imo

#

actually 145% with the minor nodes

mighty cedar
#

You know what paladin passive node that loves rent free in my brain

lament star
#

?

mighty cedar
#

The spell crit, lightning crit multi throw crit node

#

It’s rediculous

lament star
#

oh wow

mighty cedar
#

But most lighting dmg builds for pally are electrify so the crit aspect of them are a bit wasted

lament star
#

well u can actually do a very strong on hit smite build

#

and i have one experimental build ill probably never play. mana stacking > devotion > judgment for 100% mana consumption

mighty cedar
#

That is what I am currently running, shield throw lightning smite

lament star
#

im dying so much this cycle

mighty cedar
#

Have you tried not?

lament star
#

its crazy how they buffed some stuff

#

nah never tried shield throw builds

mighty cedar
#

I might switch to jav, we will see. I’ve been enjoying it so far but I’m gearing wrong probably

lament star
#

what do u want to do with jav ?

mighty cedar
#

More lightning and still proc smite. It just has kore I ate lightining on jav than shield throw

lament star
#

barrage ? the aoe sucks, the other variants are slow so not rlly that good for smite

mighty cedar
#

I feel like if I go jav it just turns into an electrify build instead since there is so much support for it

lament star
#

healing hands is far superior because of electrify spread

unborn cypress
#

Anyone else have a hard time with Forge Guardian on Monolith bosses due to not being able to generate forged weapons efficiently?

#

Wondering if I should drop Forge Strike altogether

#

I've hit a wall around 300 corruption

#

My single target with shield throw lightning strike is a bit rediculious

autumn orbit
#

Any Rive VKs? Is it just me or is the class just mega weak compared to others? Have almost BiS gear without great rolls but I feel like 600-650c is max I can take it

My profile if anyone has suggestions what I'm doing wrong (and yes I know the HP is low - can't get the rolls for HP on items) https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/Fallen94/character/Belkor

wise rune
#

650c is not a bad build

#

You should really try to cap your armor though

#

OH you're also missing crit avoidance/reduction

autumn orbit
#

I heard something about echos blinding now so that CA is not needed on VK, tbh I had it capped and it felt way better now than it was

#

and I mean with builds pushing 3000c casually - 650 does feel low

fickle tulip
#

Is there any other build pushing 3000c aside from falconer?

autumn orbit
#

yeah, runemaster

#

I just witnessed one one-shot aberroth

fickle tulip
#

Oh damn, did not know that build can go so high lol

Smelter Wrath is bugged

#

The More Dmg per Ignite doesn't cap

Crazy how it can have an insane damage bug that lets it one shot every boss and still not be a good skill

I'd build around it if it had a cooler animation

I think it looks pretty cool

With the nova at least

turbid dome

the nova does look cool

Maybe make it so you don't have to stand there doing nothing for 2 seconds before it does any damage

Battering Ram: Using lunge begins charging smelter's wrath during the charge/lunge

I would actually love to play a smelters wrath build if the clear wasn't so insanely slow on it

turbid dome
#

true

wise rune
#

Yeah I think allowing some way to charge it while moving would go a really long way in making it feel better to use and faster to map with

turbid dome
#

I would want to see a standing still spec for it that gets comical amounts of AOE

wise rune
#

Yeah give it exploding ballista levels of AOE scaling if it's gonna be stationary

turbid dome

maybe make big node that uses rebuke while channeling smelter's wrath (reduced effectiveness for rebuke's DR)

Hello!

Ok so i JUST switched from a Physical based Shield Bash build, to a Fire based Forge Guard build, and the guide I'm following uses the "Nihilis" amulet. Now I'm with the Merchant's Guild so I can buy it, however, the prices are ridiculously high, so I can only hope to find it sometime, hopefully sooner rather than later...

Anyways to the point, what would be a good budget amulet to get until I can afford the "Nihilis" amulet?

Also the build I'm using uses two "Phantom Grip" rings, but it is the same story there, too expensive so I need alternatives.

I'm currently using the "Orian's Sun Seal" ring, but it rarely procs "Sigils of Hope", because I have both low mana and mana regeneration(literally working this very moment to increase both). So what would be a good replacement for that ring aswell?

TL;DR: What are some good budget rings and amulet for a Fire based Forge Guard build?

Unfortunately this spear is pretty dog, the affix it gives you is another bonus on evading. Improved Haste effect on you after evading if memory serves.

#

You can see what affix each of the upgraded Harbinger weapons get on LEtools.

Ya, most of the harb weapons don't seem to really serve a purpose and are mostly meme / niche, unfortunately.

#

Maybe we'll see a rework of what they do in the future, because currently I don't think a single one is used in a build.

#

Plus having to slay a harbinger with it equipped is meh

quick question: While using palarus's sacred light sword to proc smites, does the sacrifice node in smite tree make any differance, and if yes, how?

twilit valley
silent basin
#

ok thank you. the void knight proccing void smites is fun so far.

twilit valley
#

Are you casting smite directly or just proc for another build with palarus . If just to proc I believe you don’t need any points in pillars of light

silent basin
#

ok looking one sec

#

oh yera, i get that.

twilit valley
#

Also you don’t have to have any points in sacrific if you just want the smite to heal you instead of doing damage .. you can use the tree for holy wave soothing balm panacea and righteous fury and righteous flurry if you just want the smites that proc to always heal you and more attack and cast speed if your damage comes from another source

silent basin
#

Thx again. Great info!

#

hmm worth making electric self cast smite with hh pally this run?

#

Whoever told me to swap out my Sunforged Hammer for Sword Catcher a few days ago thank you! šŸ˜…

#

Is this a viable belt for end game? I love that it gives +1 to my skills but I need more hp. Should I swap it out for another belt or should I try to slam another Thorn Slinger with HP?

turbid dome
olive saffron
#

I don’t know the build but belt is a big health slot to give up. If it’s not a critical unique, I’d use an exalted until I get a proper slam.

alpine canopy
#

Thorn slinger is great if you have phys skills that benefit from the +1. Move speed is nice and it's easy to get LP on.

unborn cypress
#

I think I got a pretty good slam. I went down to 41% endurance but myhealth went up by about 400. Is that a good tradeoff?

turbid dome
#

Health and removing aliments is amazing

unborn cypress
#

Alright good!!!

olive saffron
#

Health also gives a little endurance as you have a minimum threshold of 20% of your health.

!!!EPIC VORTEX PENNANT BUILD!!! doesnt use vortex pennant

#

I might just throw on rebuke and keep pumping dmg

#

I do some nuts dmg, but have scaled some of it back for def, but likely i dont really know how to avoid getting 1 shot

#

like I could probably keep climbing now until I cant without any more def and at that point Ill be in one shot zone anyways so why even both with def too much

what is the best forge guard build guys ? any recomendations ?

sweet hazel

Hammers, Shield Bash, Shield Rush and Minions are all good rn

turbid dome
#

Isn’t there a good bleed forge guard build too

sweet hazel
waxen nymph
olive saffron
sweet hazel
#

I still don't know about that. I don't think Endurance is working at all like it's intended.

quiet hearth
#

Now if only we could get threshold more easily

sweet hazel
#

I have yet to see a noticeable reduction in damage taken regardless of how much Endurance is had or how little.

#

Might be because enemy damage at high corruption is just that insane or Endurance just doesn't work, I've been just not building it lately and still having the same results.

quiet hearth
#

Endurance 100% works, the main issue with sents and Endurance is that it's hard to get enough threshold

sweet hazel
#

Also doesn't help that case that Endurance doesn't apply to over half the damage types in the game, either.

sweet hazel
#

It doesn't stop OHKOs, it doesn't seem to visibly reduce damage taken on hits(at least in one damage source testing)

#

also seems to have a reduced effectiveness against elemental damage

quiet hearth
#

It 100% works, and it can stop ohko's, your issue is likely it's simply more damage than it matters, and it applies to all hits iirc

mighty cedar
#

To make sure I understand..,.. the str scaling of 4% per 1 str on shield throw... then appplies to increased of all ailment dmg applied by that as well so 4% incrase to those and stuff like lava vurst yes?

turbid dome
#

Vlad Bee is the goat

quiet hearth
#

wait...it does apply to dots

sweet hazel
#

I've literally only heard two responses when it comes to Endurance vs. DoTs

#

I've read Devs say it doesn't affect DoTs

quiet hearth
#

Now it might be bugged and isnt working vs dots right now, but I havent heard anything about that.

waxen nymph
sweet hazel
#

Endurance capped on my sent but I'll still die in a quarter of a second to dots.

quiet hearth
#

I mean, if you dont have endurance threshold along with it, the endurance is only applying to a very small amount of your hp

sweet hazel
#

I get a large amount of endurance threshold from Sigils (5 of them)

#

Endurance level covers about 70% of my health visually

#

with 60% endurance, but again, doesn't seem to matter against DoTs

quiet hearth
#

I mean, sigils dont give that much threshold, it's like what just shy of 400?

#

like I dont disagree dmg is overtuned right now but it makes a huge difference unless you're just in silly content territory.

sweet hazel
#

They give a pretty good amount, but with 3.9k HP and 60% endurance and a threshold that looks to cover about 2.2k of my HP, it would make sense that my endurance should be giving me about 1200 more ehp, but at no point in the game have I ever felt that.

quiet hearth
#

I dunno, I always notice endurance increases

sweet hazel
quiet hearth
#

I mean, considering they said they want 1k to be the endest of end game, you're well past what the devs have planned. It's not poor design.

sweet hazel
#

Probably why ZHP builds are the only builds that are in 3k+ corruption atm

sweet hazel
#

I don't even like PoE but they're a good example of making an end-game system that isn't just Enemies take and do 8,000% more/less damage.

quiet hearth
#

lmao, almost every build is viable in this game right now. Pushing that much corruption is not within the scope of what they want most players to achieve

#

poe is literally just stack damage on enemies, so I have zero clue where you're going with that.

sweet hazel
#

ask any ARPG vet that actually takes leaderboards and whatnot seriously

quiet hearth
#

Leaderboards are NOT indicative of base gameplay, nor should they be. They are there as their own thing. They always have been and always will be

sweet hazel
#

Yes any build can clear basic monos and up to like 300 corruption.

#

but when your only competitively viable builds are effectively ZHP builds you have a problem

quiet hearth
#

No, you do not. You're comparing things in a vacuum, but Im not gonna waste any more time on a discussion that wont go anywhere. We'll just agree to disagree.

sweet hazel
#

We will. Difference in opinion in a casual vs. competitive player

quiet hearth
#

Sure xD

kindred sierra
#

been playing void crit rive and dropped this

#

been thinking of switching to forge guard and do a physical crit rive

Forge guard support skill -> cover self in molten metal -> ??? -> victory

Yes

That sounds awesome for a build around transform skill like lich is

#

It could come with some unique skills but also special nodes in its tree that allow you to pick a different sentinel/vk/Paladin/forge guard skill you have access too, adding it to your skill bar while transformed, to help drive home the custom mecha vibe

Does this apply to MA's buz saw attack that is proced by shield throw? or does it refer to things like its lunge, and flame breath?

You can import your character into LE tools’s build planner and share it that way

steel moat
#

how? iim a newb srry

#

ok I see it on Le tools

turbid dome
#

Hit the "import" button in the upper left of the build planner -> enter account name and character name

#

this then lets you use the "actual" button for your stats (warning if you change gear or anything really this setting breaks)

steel moat
#

Ok will try

#

here @turbid dome
I updated my message above. can you check?

#

if you are free, and available.

turbid dome
#

yup it works, tho to ask what exactly do you need help with for it? gearing? passive tree? advice in general? also what corruption are you running at?

steel moat
#

gears, passive, and skills for rive
before cycle 2 I have no trouble grinding on 220 corruption
now....feels kinda weak

turbid dome
#

ok, first thing you need crit avoid at 100% OR reduced bonus dmg taken from crits at 100%

reduced bonus dmg taken from crits is easier to do for sentinel with a lion helm

#

I'm going to guess this is using healing hands to generate a ton of ward for your main defense (and is why your hp is so low), so the get more hp advice isn't needed

however, healing hands ward gen got super nerfed this cycle

turbid dome
#

having 1 point in armor clad (base sentinel tree) is bad as with 5 points its 10% damage reduction from nearby enemies (but your melee so your gonna be next to them)

steel moat
#

ok can you give me updated passives for this build?
I ave pts on Paladin tree
should I go full vk? and remove hh?

turbid dome
#

I guess the other thing is you seem to be splitting your damage between phys and fire

I'd say keep hh because you would need to completely re-gear to go pure vk, plus hh is just good to have

#

strength and int also don't add flat dmg to rive (weapon specialist node)

#

imo you should try to grab a weapon that has a ton of flat damage on it for your offhand since you want to keep cleaver solution for the int (probs flat phys since cleaver does phys)

#

something like this would work to just get base damage into your attacks

#

you also seem to be split between physical dot and fire dot, we can get ignite chance for flame drinker elsewhere

steel moat
#

by the way, I read somewhere above that HH got gutted

turbid dome
#

HH got "gutted"

it went from op to being inline with everything else

steel moat
#

I can regear to 2H with apathy's maw so I will lose all my atk spd
but its fine I have 2h exalteds with atk spd and flat void dmg

turbid dome
#

ok that makes this a lot easier to plan out

steel moat
#

Ok can you give me what;s on your mind?

turbid dome
#

I can also just share my character thats using rive + erasing strike + void cleave (2H axe)

mighty cedar

@turbid dome I have made a Meme build that some how works with RoS as its linch pin

Hey guys!

@fair hollow So... any suggestions if I should keep the Exalted weapon or look for a Unique to merge it with?

mighty cedar
#

Only one that might be worth your time (i asume you are using minions yea?) would be Sword Catch er

fair hollow
#

Im so confused by this planner seems like youre half scaling minions and half your own damage

#

Better to focus on one

velvet swallow
#

I'm trying to increase both as much as possible yes. And you're right it's better to focus on one, and in that case I'd focus on a non minion build.

mighty cedar
velvet swallow
#

But in the same breath the minions are just there as an added bonus.

fair hollow
#

Sure but you are spending passive points / ring slots etc for minions which can be spend for other things

velvet swallow
#

@mighty cedar I'll take a look at Sword Catcher to see if that's any good :)

fair hollow
#

But in any case there is no unique 2h axe worth merging into for fire crit melee

#

For hit based forged weapons minion build i would reccomend a exalted odachi over any unique

#

Sword catcher is big bait

The new "locusts" Spear ?

7% Base Crit + 5% in FG passive Tree
A lot of AS
200 Flat (even more because your are a 2h using Rive)

kindred sierra
# waxen nymph The new "locusts" Spear ?

both have about same flat dmg
flat crit doesn't matter cuz rive rive's focused strike
so the difference is bunch of attack speed or physical pen, increased melee dmg and reduced crit dmg

I can make up some of the as with sentinels and fg passives that affect swords
so leviathan seems more preferable

#

spear also has advantage for farming LP
but assuming I manage to get t7 AS on leviathan i think it wins

#

also its looks way cooler

What suffix stat should add?

#

I'm a Fire based Forge Guard btw using a semi-build with both damage that my character does directly and some minions from the Forge Strike skill tree called "Forged Weapons".

olive saffron
#

Shared fire pen

velvet swallow
#

Bah I was thinking that, but I only have 2x of Fire pen :(

olive saffron
#

Go into filter. Add a new one for any item that has that. You’ll have plenty in no time.

velvet swallow
olive saffron
#

To shatter for shards

#

Take item. Throw in forge. Use rune of shattering. Receive semi random amount of shards of the affixes based on tier

#

When you have plenty, you just disable/delete said filter.

#

You should do the same for other useful affixes like hybrid health.

velvet swallow
olive saffron
#

It’s like the base of the crafting system. I do also show all class specific affixes for a bit to shatter so I just have a stockpile when I need to chaos an affix to something else. That eats up runes much faster though but at least you can buy 6-10 off the vendor every few echoes

turbid dome

Better to learn now than later

Luckily I'm a hoarder so I had tons of items with Fire Penetration, and this is the result. I'm quite happy with the axe šŸ™‚

Not takiing this node if you expect your Smite's Ignite to deal Dmg is criminal

turbid dome
#

Also just get like %increased fire damage and %increased dot dmg

waxen nymph
#

This one too since it work for Ignite on both ST and Lava Burst Ignite

#

And to get more Stacks, we talked about it

#

Axe

mighty cedar
#

Oh I didn’t know that the molten toss would work on the ignites and lava bursts, as well as the smite one. Okay! That is good though, Hugh optimizations right there

waxen nymph
#

At lastly, where is Volatile Reversal ?

mighty cedar
#

I mean I thought with the atk soeee increase from smite it would like balance out haha

waxen nymph
#

VR on a DoT build is 2.8 times More Dmg

mighty cedar
#

What why? Cause the rift thingy?

turbid dome
#

Rift thingy is op

mighty cedar
#

I basically cast RiS and then just stay on top of the mob like a human pinball machine. And HH on CD or during big hit moves ect. And 9/10 times it’s cd is shortened

mighty cedar
waxen nymph
#

Probably HH

#

And use an unspecced Lunge or Shield Rush

mighty cedar
#

But it’s SO good lol, the reset is based haha plus the regen but it would reduce my overall dps removijg sigils

cursive rose
#

probably just read half the converstion and got context wrong. I am tinkering with a smite pala sword build and its working better than I expected, faster starter alt time then when i used the firestarter

#

Im gunna run into trouble eventually trying to plump up my dmg

#

just pala sword or the other smite sword with raw spell dmg?

mighty cedar

#

šŸ‘ any ignite really

#

OH yea noi just woke up yea i get what your says now

#

More fire dmg in the dots that come from the move itself with the more% node

I feel like I should just make this a fire smite build ive never done a void before and it seems like fire and even lightning somehow has more options on the table

mighty cedar
cursive rose
#

I dont do any dots

#

I havent tweaked my damage very much should probably scrape off the %phy dmg i have for just meme throwing my pennat axes and put it into void

#

because i see that not being very effective later as fun as it now

mighty cedar
#

The draw to a void… anything honestly but especially shield throw are the echos

cursive rose
#

the echos throwing the warpath axes is pretty fun

mighty cedar
#

Part of me is like a 1sec cd on the passive tree just doesn’t seem worth

cursive rose
#

oh i only take 1 mode in that

#

but i throw a bunch more because ive got 600% phy dmg even tho im not doing any

#

i think im just coasting on the +global spell dmg while warpathing and the sacrifice node on smite really and should probably get more actual dmg

mighty cedar
#

Watching my current ā€œsentinel pinballā€ build is pretty funny

cursive rose
#

there are so many funky funny ways to play

#

i love the beemancer

#

theres the go back in time shield rusher

waxen nymph
#

I am so confused

cursive rose
#

a god damn mess is what it is,I was just trying to see how many axes I could throw and If i could get them smiting, and it works but it doesnt actually.....woooork well

#

im pretty sure the only thing doing dmg is the global spell warpath node and sacrifice smite,

stone oriole
#

shield rusher is good if you want carpal tunnel or have a keyboard macro

tired jackal
alpine canopy
# tired jackal Can anamoly stun a boss?

Technically yes, it can stun them with time wave, but that's because it's just a normal spell that hits, and all damaging hits can stun. Anomaly doesn't actually have a stun node.

waxen nymph
#

Do we think one day Future Strike will be more than a meme?

turbid dome
#

If it counted as a melee void attack and got a % of the flat damage on your weapon, like how javelin gets some of your spears flat damage

waxen nymph
#

I made a suggestion for it back then where everytime you would apply a stack it would reset the timer on all the stacks and then if the total dmg become greater than the remaining life of the mob it would pop

mighty cedar
#

That is a very cool idea, the only other source of it is a relic i belive which is a low % chance on hit. Conceptually it is very cool but without a way to increase the ammount of stacks you can inflict with 1 ability its a rough one to scale

waxen nymph
#

The only time we used Future Strike was when Mad Ladle did not have a cap, and Sentinel was the class with the most ailment available

turbid dome
#

Give future strike no cap

Give the node for it a 5 point breakthrough effect of: if an attack would apply future strike, all time rot stacks that the attack would apply become future strike stacks instead

#

So you can scale the amount applied without adding a bunch of new passives and effects

fallen onyx
#

How mobile is force guard?

waxen nymph
#

Future Strike has no cap

turbid dome
#

Oh

#

Honestly had no idea

mighty cedar
#

yea but there are no other sources which is the issue so you cant like... get 999

turbid dome
#

So let it convert time rot stacks to future strike gregory

waxen nymph
mighty cedar
#

it just needs some affix support imo

fallen onyx
#

So far i only tried VK on Sentinel but it feels to generic

waxen nymph
#

Sentinel mobility is a bit meh and weird

#

The dash on Javelin is not a traversal, so you can use a Traversal and the Javelin

fallen onyx
alpine canopy
#

Yeah, future strike is the only void DOT ailment that actually has potential to be a build's main dps, and it's mechanically different from all the others which makes it cool

#

I get that they want void to be the odd type out (kinda, electrify is weird, too), but I wish it was a different one instead that didn't have a unique mechanic... most of the others are really boring in comparison, just different flavors of simple DOT

mighty cedar
#

i mean with a shield throw MA richochet build with lava bursts and echos you can get a stupid ammount of stacks but..... the over all ability is capped at however many hits you can perform since its just a 100% chance max per hit

rancid musk
fallen lance
#

Bleed Javelin vs Electrify? Which is easier?

mighty cedar
#

define easy

fallen lance
#

easier to gear for

#

i assume physical damage over time vs general DOT, but also taking into account the paladin tree

rancid musk
alpine canopy
#

Electrify has fewer affixes and uniques that support it, so easier to gear from that perspective, but has a lower upper limit

fallen lance
mighty cedar
#

electrify also has a massive amount of pen support though

fallen lance
#

is that standing still pen? or in general?

mighty cedar
#

what do you mean standing still

fallen lance
#

isnt there some item or passive out there that gives x Damage or pen when standing still? Sorry been a while im not up on my Last Epoch knowledge

alpine canopy
#

Nah, it's just from the skill trees and required unique

mighty cedar
#

yea the uniques and tree give massive amounts fgor electrify

alpine canopy
#

mainly one node in smite that really jumpstarts the electrify build

mighty cedar
#

HH has a good one too

#

and jav

alpine canopy
#

HH can spread electrify, but idk if that's really practical in a jav build. The jav node is kinda a waste

fallen lance
#

Charged Hand, ah yes 60% at 5 points

mighty cedar
#

i have a test build right now of multistik procing both smite and HH

alpine canopy
mighty cedar

electrify?

alpine canopy
#

Ahh I see

#

one of these days, I want to try that wraith staff with RoS to proc the superspeed cooldown really reliably

mighty cedar
#

the wehat

alpine canopy
#

idk if it can be part of any decent build, but it's gotta be fun, right?

#

it makes sure that they aren't on full health so you should always be able to proc the "on heal" thing

#

at the very least, it should let you be invincible a large portion of the time lol

mighty cedar
#

i am currently running something similar and hoenstly you don't need that.. I am procing it 8-9 times out of 10

#

I am just trying to figure out if I should use Sigils or VR

alpine canopy
#

If you're a DOT build, then VR easily

mighty cedar
#

but why ha

#

because of harbinger of dust node?

#

ohg and time rifts

alpine canopy
#

yeah

#

it nearly triples your damage

mighty cedar
#

i will have to do some passive point redoing then ahha

#

does it apply to ignitres already on the target or only those after

alpine canopy
#

Damage taken effects never snapshot, so it applies to whatever damage is incoming while the debuffs are active

mighty cedar
#

Oh wow yea this posp

tired jackal
#

What type of damage is echo? I can't even find a write up on echos.
Also the idol that gives damage for echos for 4 seconds after echoing. Is that good for a Rive echo build?

Any good hammerdin buld ? Maxroll is nice for start but it’s not well optimized beyond 350-400 corrupt in my opinion. I think I am starting to see a wall with how far can I progress.

Ok, thanks

But if I commit to bleed only what skill instead of smite ?

#

Leave one spot free

chilly peak
#

But why drop it. It adds attack speed and a bit dmg, I feel it is worth to slot also as a bleeder.

#

In case you want to drop it - I wouldn't - consider a traversal skill

lost python
#

Hmm I’f that’s the case it’s better to leave it as it is. Shield rush without specialized skills plus evade is enough for me.

chilly peak
#

Both builds can use the same skills, only perhaps skilled a bit different and you want mostly complete different gear, to either emphazise phys/bleed/dot or lightning-/spelldamage

Shield throw with lava burst, ring of shields, smite on throw, HH for travel and reset, VR for pop. You run around like a hamster ball bouncing your shield throw off your shields procing many ignited and smites and your regen is crazy and most of the time your HH reset is priced since shields are minions

# lament nova like, the damage feels low, i guess as a teleport? meh

It's usually setup this way
At the start of the tp and at the end you cast a Void Rift. Thoses rifts apply a debuff on the mobs "Increased Dmg Taken" for 4 seconds . It's basically like a More Dmg. The debuffs can stack. If you play a Hit Build it's 60% More Dmg (2x 30% without Cdrs) . If you play a Dot Build it's 180% More Dmg (2x90%)

#

180%More Dmg means x2. 8 times your dmg

yeah I am playing dot, i think i just haven't been using it correctly

Hh is procs on direct cast of smite no? Going caster route with shield

mighty cedar
#

Yes it does, different ways to skin a cat . Plus you can get those juicy triple casts. Although idk if the triple casts count towards procing HH. I would imagine not

waxen nymph
#

Where you could g et the More Fire Dmg instead

#

And maybe even some Ignite Chance

#

In ST

mighty cedar
#

Yea, I was thinking about that. The more probably scales better in the long run than the extra 2/3 procs for an ignite I imagine?

waxen nymph
#

Inside Smite you go for more Healing, I would take Ignite Chance. But I like Dmg šŸ˜…

#

I think Sigils would be better than HH, but nothing with the crazy mobility HH gives. Just matter of preference

mighty cedar
#

Yea I am like at this half way point of ā€œneeding the regenā€ from HH and smite it feels like but that could just be because I have not reduced the health cost of it. So it may just even out in the end? But if I do it that way I am really just moving those 3 points tk the reduction and I already have the regen so I was like…. I can’t decide…. And yea HH is almost always off CD with the RoS being around me all the time

#

I could probably just remove thya 20% atk speed even though it is juicy and utalize those points better since 3 of them are bacislly wasted on the global mellee fire dmg?

Have you tried a Bleeding Heart Amulet? It gives generic Leech. So you could leech from your Ignites.

"It's just a niche effect. Time Rot is the more common void ailment." future strike not likely to see any love

And sources of Pen are very rare

wonder why there is the cap for it, its not like its insane dmg

ah wondering if you were using smite

turbid dome
#

I know scepter + shield is probably better for void smite vk, but on the other hand I want to use Omnividence again

haughty canopy
#

Hmm vr or sigils for a multistrike/hh/smite/ha palarus and shield pally? I got that sigil ring

echo owl
#

Is hammerdin better with any specific mastery?

haughty canopy
#

Hammerdin is pally lol... Hammersent is for all

echo owl
#

well, before paladin was released we still called it hammerdin

haughty canopy
#

Pally/fg can do bleed/ignite/lighting, vk is void based,

#

Cos d2 hammerdin is pally based

echo owl
#

yes

haughty canopy
#

Anyways vk hammer should be interesting with disintegrating aura and void smites

#

Mini void orbital cannon

#

But pally hammer is easy mode cos holy aura

echo owl
#

gonna check that one first

haughty canopy
#

How Easy to get a 3lp palarus?

Question - if I have soh as a skill do I have to have it on the bar for it to trigger the chance to summon a sigil when you kill a enemy ?

I thought it used to summon a sigil even if it’s not on your skill bar but I can’t remember

Cause it’s not triggering any sigils at all right now

haughty canopy
#

You don't need it on the skill bar..Was doing hammers and my sigils were procing on kills

twilit valley
haughty canopy
#

but the odds are low though 6% cast on kill so you need a lot of Mobs

twilit valley
#

Not sure why ain’t working unless on skill bar now

#

I’ll test again

#

Tested again - no procs when not on bar - then added to bar and 4 proc sigils when I killed a mob without using the skill

#

No idea why I need it on bar now when before it was working fine

#

Is it cause I’m a FG and not a paladin it won’t proc if not on bar ?

haughty canopy
#

Huh weird it it working earlier for me before I swapped it out for vr

twilit valley
#

Not working now also ?

#

Or still works for you

#

Ok tested many times - won’t trigger for me unless on skill bar now . Strange

haughty canopy
#

I swapped out sigils for volatile reversal

twilit valley
haughty canopy
#

Figured on demand boost over passive boost lol

twilit valley
#

I swear they were proccing for me before without it on the bar .. anyways

haughty canopy
#

I respecced

twilit valley
haughty canopy
#

You can try with the sigil ring see if they proc

twilit valley
#

Just don’t want to use the ring for them to proc

haughty canopy
#

Weird issue

twilit valley

Yeah only started happening in last hour
