🔱┃sentinel

[alpine canopy]

would be about 21 mana per attack on average

[sonic obsidian]

oh damn , you can't use void cleave as sword and shield?

[waxen nymph]

2h sword or axe

Or the new Sceptre

[gusty abyss]

This is a leak right?

Fractal tree also working with siege barage now is not how it works on live

[alpine canopy]

Not so much a leak as just probably a bug fix for a version that never went live

not the first time they've accidentally posted a bug fix that they made on an internal game version

[gusty abyss]

Mike was really struggling last stream between what is and isnt live

[alpine canopy]

I can't blame him, one of the benefits of keeping to a tighter season schedule is it becomes much easier to keep track of what's not in the game yet lol

[waxen nymph]

Also it has been teased

[gusty abyss]

Divine fury, yes. Fractal tree trough?

[waxen nymph]

We hope for it since its the same mechanic

[gusty abyss]

well the above just tells us

[alpine canopy]

Yeah, fractal tree takes the literal node effect, same as other uniques that grant skill node effects

[gusty abyss]

The wording is similar, but not the same. Fractal tree does not mention siege barrage and it has dex scaling. unlike divine fury. Regardless, on live it does not create new projectiles if you have siege barrage, the above text clearly states it will, as it fixed a bug where they where not created at the right place.

[sonic obsidian]

man, I need to play this game with a controller

[alpine canopy]

Right, the wording is not identical since they scale differently (points in node vs dex), but mechanically it's the same thing

Another example of this is flame reave, where it has a node for circle mode and a unique ring for it. They are worded differently, but both flip the same switch in flame reave

[sonic obsidian]

anyone have a link to a good healing hands melee paladin build?

The seraph blade node is pretty sweet, with the auto case node too

[waxen nymph]

Go Rive or Vengeance + HH

[sonic obsidian]

Oh, I was doing rice already, but I didn’t even think of vengeance.

I assume the aoe that procs with healing hands from vengeance would still be an aoe?

[lilac sparrow]

Can someone give me a good VK mage build

[waxen nymph]

Self Cast Smite + DOrb

[unborn urchin]

Hey guys playing after a long time and thinking to primarily play sentineal class this time around. Just had some general questions: is the best hammers build focused around bleed? Also was wondering is there something similar to a zealer (diablo2 melee physical dmg type)? thinking its probably not the paladin subclass maybe void or forge? Not interested in going super high corruption but something which can farm monos decently.

[drifting plaza]

You mean Shadow beacon?!

My bad shadow beacon ist a Mace…

[lilac sparrow]

Yeah this is what I had in mind when I first saw this

[chilly peak]

There's at least 2 decent hammer builds, one is around bleeds and one about smites. Both are nice and have different pros and cons. I would consider the bleeder better in bossing and the smiter better in clearing - tho both can do all content and pushing corruption beyond that super fine.

The bleeder plays imo a bit more relaxed, while the smiter has a more active playstyle (mostly due to Devotion amulet and Mana management)

Btw, the bleeder also uses smites usually, so don't get confused by that. The difference in focussing on smite or on bleeds is still a quite huge one in gameplay and build performance.

As sum up I'd say: As most of the gameplay loop in arpg revolves around farming, the Smiter performs better in everyday farming, while the Bleeder probably can push a bit better corr, as you can take down bosses a tad better, which is usually the bottleneck in pushing

[waxen nymph]

Don't forget Hammer Throw Disintegrating Aura VK

[lilac sparrow]

Can hammer throw deal void dmg?

[waxen nymph]

It's a really thing now. Probably not as strong as Hammer + Smite but can do all content

[waxen nymph]

It's a Void Throw Dot

Scales with Flat Throwing Dmg

[lilac sparrow]

Oh this is neat

Do I build dmg overtime on my VK?

Is it better for my hammer to orbit around me for this build?

[chilly peak]

My bad, but yeah I only have the Pala view yet.
Can't even say why VK never attracted me yet

[waxen nymph]

Hammer Orbit yeah

[waxen nymph]

If you do this you want Void Dot and Throwing Dmg

Its really nice with the Scepter linked above

Also Void Cleave can give you a lot of Flat Throwing Dmg (for one throw but you get like 100 Flat ! Huge !)

[waxen nymph]

Its purple ^^

[turbid dome]

A Beserker is probably better done by beast master on primalist

You can do a pure phys rive vk (until April)

Sentinel also has a ton of bleed builds

[unborn urchin]

I see.. thanks for all the insight im playing SP so ill just go by feels right now focus on bleed hammer build then shift or just make a 2nd char later.

[unborn urchin]

that would be more like barbarian playstyle but noted and thx for the insight as well. from my rough understanding "multistrike" ability which is available to all subclasses is most similar to 'zeal' thinking it would be maybe a multistrike void build but was not sure maybe multistrike forge knight works? only experienced paladin subclass so far and for this playthrough first build is going to be a hammerdin regardless.

[turbid dome]

multi strike is kinda weird, its an actual melee swing but the extra swings don't really hit the thing your directly targeting

[unborn urchin]

yeah i was kind of getting that feeling maybe doing riposte/ multistrike interchange honestly dont know about cleave and the other spells yet for now should just play it through hit lvl 95-100 and go from there. one of the things I love about LE is i think any build can technically work to a certain extent end game wise.

[turbid dome]

unless your looking to use a unique that needs multistrike or use it to make forged weapons, imo rive > multi strike/vengeance

especially if your using a 2hander, rive can double the dmg stats (flat dmg, increased dmg, aliment chance) from twohanders

also don't forget 5 points in time and faith (base sentinel passive tree)

[alpine canopy]

MS also can be used to proc smites

[lilac sparrow]

Are there any skills or item that automatically cast hammer throw?

[alpine canopy]

None so far

[waxen nymph]

Hammer Throw 🙄🤔

[harsh bison]

what are some better 1h forgeguard weapons? doing summon weapons build

[waxen nymph]

À 2 hander

Or Nash tooth

Hakar Phoenix can be good too I guess

[uneven gorge]

Hakar's Phoenix is pretty good. Flat crit, increased melee damage, and fire pen + whatever you want to slam onto it. Though yeah, a 2h will be better purely because of void cleave

[harsh bison]

i'm looking at using shield bash for movement. dont like how lunge needs a target

[waxen nymph]

Not sure that possible

[uneven gorge]

I assume they mean shield rush?

[harsh bison]

Whichever one you get early level

[cerulean sorrel]

Spin to win doesn’t require anything except a few points in the mana costing less for the ability right? So far I can spin perma it seems and mana does not move. Didn’t know if I should keep investing in those points for that or move on to something else.

[waxen nymph]

3 PTS

Is all you need

[ionic tide]

with enough attunment 2 pts is all you need XD

[silver glen]

Experimental Ward Gained on Traversal
Has anyone tried this experimental boot affix for Erasing Strike mana stacker build (Worldsplitter axe)

I keep getting one shot by Abberoth and T4 Julra and am looking for solutions

T5 is 11-13 ward per 10 missing mana; with Worldsplitter you can easily get 700+ mana.

So in theory you can get 500+ ward easily per void cleave

[winter copper]

both bosses are doable on 2k hp for julra and 3k hp for abberoth, with capped base defenses(all res, endurance, crit avoidance and 4k~armor)

if you are getting oneshots then most likely its player mistake or dont have those base defenses

[silver glen]

Ya I have like 3.4k hp, capped res, 60% endurance (700 threshold), and 6k armour

Julra I can beat but occasionally fk up and get one shot.

[winter copper]

then ye its player mistake

sentinel is def not the class you want to be facetanking

its one of the squishiest classes on high end

[silver glen]

Idk im not even face tanking the slams. Its the pools that destroy me in less than one second

[winter copper]

do u have body armor with armor applied to dots, gloves/relic with that stat?

[silver glen]

Its so hectic and hard to see shit sometimes

Body yes, havent got good gloves yet

My damage is so nutty with Erasing strike, I dont even need to live that long. Just feels like I no room for error

[winter copper]

with erasing strike splitter u dont even need to be in melee so spend more time on mobility and avoiding things, nothing will make you facetank those dots on bosses, at most youll get 1-2 seconds to get out of them

[silver glen]

Yeah thats a good point. I'm sure I'll get it with practice, I just wish Void Knight didn't feel so squishy

Hopefully season 2 makes non-ward builds a bit better

[winter copper]

ask devs why they thought making a heavy knight one of the squishiest classes in endgame, and THE squishest class if you arent using the shield

im still puzzled by it after 4 years

[silver glen]

Ya I'm sure they are aware of it, Sentinel is supposedly getting reworded

[winter copper]

nothing gonna change with sentinel rework, the issue is that other classes have acess to all sentinel defenses on top of their own tbh

but we will see

[silver glen]

Do you know if the EHP calculator works for this unique?

It seems so strong but my EHP goes way down

[winter copper]

wouldnt be surprised if we will see 100% block mage still available in 1.2

[winter copper]

idk

[waxen nymph]

Mountain Shield?

[silver glen]

Melee is always shit in arpgs compared to ranged

[winter copper]

flame ward

[waxen nymph]

That's 10%

[winter copper]

yep thats enough with bulwark and couple affixes

i havent explored mountain, dont think itll be better 🤔

like i get why they put block on mage, but that shouldve been in top of spellblade tree not on flame ward

[urban moon]

Just to confirm, when will the Sentinel rework happen and do we have any idea what it will look like?

[waxen nymph]

April 2nd

Stuff have been teased but not the big picture yet

[silver glen]

Has anyone tried Vessel on a Void Knight? (erasing strike worldsplitter particularly)

[turbid dome]

vlad posted a big dump of the teased sentinel stuff in general, let me see if I can find it and I'll link it

@urban moon #💬┃general message

[silver glen]

well this is broken

[turbid dome]

given how squishy sentinel is at high gear content I disagree

and if your thinking about the amulet that converts all void to fire, you can only convert stuff once

[silver glen]

Ya true, in a vacuum its insane. VK needs all the defensive help it can get

Damage is not a problem thats for sure. Erasing strike is so satisfying

[turbid dome]

ye

sentinel as a whole needs all the defensive help it can get

but it basically comes out to (assuming all resistances are capped)

-20% void damage taken

-10% elemental damage taken

given VK has -10% damage taken from nearby enemies and -10% damage taken from void ageis, its going to be nice

[silver glen]

I haven't played Primalist since 1.0 but it was also squishy as hell.

[waxen nymph]

Vk is about big hp and leech
Hard to fit Regen then

[turbid dome]

primalist gets that one druid starting node for endurance threshold based on max life

that node is 🔥

[silver glen]

True but I'm just trying to figure out how to pump up my EHP as much as possible. Health/armor/endurance doesnt feel like enough

[waxen nymph]

We need Leech to Ward

[turbid dome]

op

leech is only sorta balanced because hp has a cap

[waxen nymph]

Honestly you might have reached the end

[turbid dome]

whats your max hp

[waxen nymph]

Downside, you have 1 hp

[silver glen]

only like 3.4k, my gear is suboptimal atm

capped res, endurance, 700ish threshold

[waxen nymph]

Titan Heart?

[turbid dome]

my chaos innoculation vibes are rising

[silver glen]

only 6k armour but I have a plan to get to 8k

[turbid dome]

fat void boi's armor gaming

[silver glen]

Nada, only have a 1 lp Titan Heart

[waxen nymph]

Wonder what's better
Champion regalia or TH

[turbid dome]

TH got that 15% DR

but champion regalia has its metric TON of armor

[silver glen]

I have a Champ regalia with t6 increased health, I don't think a 1 lp titan heart beats that out

[silver glen]

yeah and my base armor is already kinda low. TH is probably better once I get better gloves and helmet and get at least 2 lp on it

[turbid dome]

please tell me your using the leo helm

[silver glen]

😬 I've bricked about 10 lol. They've all been awful

[turbid dome]

😭

that helmet is currently carrying sentinel as a class

[silver glen]

Welp

I'll make it my top priority

Crafting gods have not been kind

[turbid dome]

beyond it giving more armor than like every other class's best chest armor

so much anti crit

[silver glen]

All I want is double hp but they just keep bricking. is that too greedy?

[turbid dome]

find an exalted %increased health

get craftin'

also belts can get it

[silver glen]

I have goated stats on this base

[turbid dome]

solid base

low armor tho 😭

[silver glen]

yeah but 300 armor difference is insane

[silver glen]

using shattered chains

[turbid dome]

fair

[silver glen]

But yeah once I get a good Leonine Helmet and Eternal Gauntlets, my armor should sky rocket

surely that will be enough to prevent one shots :copium

[turbid dome]

this was my armor for a long time on one of my VKs

[silver glen]

Thats nice. I think %hp beats out vitality for pure hp right? even with the VK passive that buffs vit

[turbid dome]

this was probably a pure void rive hit vk

[turbid dome]

vitality is a prefix and also more dmg and flat dmg for this build

[silver glen]

I know I just moreso meant for the exalted affix, if you could choose you'd take %hp over vit

[turbid dome]

oh

eh?

this build was still at like 3.5 k life

and really liked the extra more dmg from the vit

[silver glen]

oh what skill scales with vit?

[waxen nymph]

It's your VK passive

[turbid dome]

every void spell, rive, mastery passive

[waxen nymph]

More Melee Dmg per Vit

[turbid dome]

void spells (other than smite) get +2 flat dmg per vit (smite gets +1)

rive gets +1 melee void damage per vit with an axe

mastery passive is 1% more melee void dmg per 3 vit

[waxen nymph]

The only alternative to Leo Helm for Erasing Strike would be a Seed of Ekkidrasil

[turbid dome]

sad apocalypse helm

its such a good base but leo helm is just so thicc

[silver glen]

oh 😅

[turbid dome]

is it really a void knight build if you don't have 100+ vitality

[silver glen]

wtf lol, how

[turbid dome]

vitality on helmet + body armor + boots, passive tree, idols

become overcapped on two resistance through vitality

[waxen nymph]

Got 110 on my VK Wizard

[turbid dome]

yeah thats the rough cap

[silver glen]

damn

oh i guess there is a ring base with vit

[turbid dome]

T7 adds a lot (helmet, body armor, boots)

[turbid dome]

yeah coral rings are very nice

[waxen nymph]

You mean Crab Ring right 🦀🦀

[silver glen]

Maybe I'll swap out one of my 3lp siphons if I get a 3lp crab ring lol

[waxen nymph]

You got 2 x 3lp???

[silver glen]

😬

sometimes lucky I guess

[turbid dome]

the upcoming auto cast dorb node is gonna be nice for the 20% more void dmg with 90 vitality node

just slap that on like every vk build

[silver glen]

curious how they are going to replace volatile reversal's damage contribution lol. that wil ldefinitely help

[turbid dome]

hopefully the idea is that without VR giving a stupid amount of damage the other skills can be improved

like when GGG removed the ancestor totem buffs and just juiced the numbers on melee skills

[silver glen]

yeah im sure they will 🙏🏼

not like damage is an issue with VK

[turbid dome]

true

having enough life to not get 1 shot is

huzzah for only 2 consistent* sources of DR (for now)

*its still conditional

[silver glen]

I dont even have melee void damage on my world splitter yet, its gonna be insane when I do get one lol

[turbid dome]

world splitter's power isn't in the damage per hit

its the fact that you can endlessly erasing strike

and cap crit stupidly easily

[silver glen]

crit + buff from 12 stacks of time rot + anomaly + VR = 💀

[turbid dome]

real

[silver glen]

but with all that multiplicative damage, base damage is very important

[turbid dome]

yeah

more base damage is always good

its just world splitter's base damage is never going to be the same as apathy's maw

so imo getting wordsplitter to the perma erasing strike spam is way better than more base damage, but inconsistent mana sustain

[silver glen]

Yeah once I hit 600+ mana and high crit chance, I haven't really had mana issues

[turbid dome]

ye

[silver glen]

thanks to void well and Erasing strike

While you have 3 or more void essences, if you use a skill that costs at least 40 mana you consume the void essences to refund the mana cost. This effect has a 3 second cooldown.

[turbid dome]

?

thats not void well

[silver glen]

oh last epoch wiki is wrong

[turbid dome]

oh

never use the wiki

use last epoch tools

it has everything, even a build planner

[silver glen]

Ye thats what I use for my builds. didnt realize the wiki is cooked

[turbid dome]

it got abandoned fairly quickly

[silver glen]

All the VK builds being in B or C tier for hardcore (Maxroll) is pretty indicative of how tanky we are right now lol

[turbid dome]

ye

[silver glen]

Are there any VK builds that utilize ward?

[turbid dome]

there was, but it was worse than the paladin one

and ward got its formula changed

[silver glen]

in 1.1? I just got back into the game after playing on launch

[turbid dome]

yeah healing hands got a skill tree and you could convert that healing to ward

and just sustain a bajillion ward

but then all the ways sent would get ward retetion got cooked

[silver glen]

😭

[turbid dome]

and the formula got changed to make it easier to hit 4k ward, but WAY harder to go beyond that

[silver glen]

meanwhile I've seen sorc with like 20k ward

Im going experiment with Vessel as well as the experiement boot affix (ward per 10 missing mana)

I feel like endurance is trash

[turbid dome]

don't forget to strength stack with the cleaver solution

[turbid dome]

you cap your endurance % and thats it

[silver glen]

cant on my worldsplitter build

[turbid dome]

beans

[silver glen]

Vessel has ward retention

[turbid dome]

you really want that strength stacking for ward retention

[turbid dome]

you need more

[silver glen]

ya just gotta figure out where to get it lol

Im at the point where I wanna trade away some damage for survivability

[turbid dome]

cleaver solution ❤️

love that goofy axe

[silver glen]

Erasing strike 😭

[turbid dome]

embrace rive?

idk

[silver glen]

But i like bonk

Haha

I just dont want to get bonked myself

[turbid dome]

real

[silver glen]

👀

Im cooking now 🤣

[turbid dome]

oh frostbite shackles

how nerfed you are

[silver glen]

I cant do math but Im curious how much retention and hp regen I'd need for Vessel to give me like 1k ward

that would be huge for EHP

Frosbite + vessel + Aurora?

surely thats enough 😬 🤣

[turbid dome]

possibly?

to hit like 4k

[silver glen]

is there any resources for boss damage?

cant seem to find it on lastepochtools

[winter copper]

best one is vessel fg minions or vessel hammer throw specced into bleed

[alpine canopy]

TunkLab has a calculator for this

[silver glen]

Oh does it work with Vessel? (hp regen)

[turbid dome]

you just imput your ward per second

[alpine canopy]

You just have to mess around with the ward per second thing

[turbid dome]

so like do the math for what vessel is giving you

[waxen nymph]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ward

[silver glen]

bold of you to assume i can math

[turbid dome]

you best be doing math boi

cause your in a spreadsheet game

[silver glen]

me bonk, no math

[turbid dome]

even the bonk must yield to math

[waxen nymph]

@sour rivet Sorry for the ping but any chance we can get a slider for Regen to Ward?

Much love

[turbid dome]

damn vlad just straight pinged the legendary Tunk

👋

hi Tunk

[silver glen]

ya idk realistically I could **maybe **get 500 stable ward without sacrificing too much armor

Would need some pretty good slams to make it work

[turbid dome]

That’s not that much

[silver glen]

nope....

im confused, how does endurance help with one shots?

[alpine canopy]

It reduces damage dealt to the lower part of your health bar

[turbid dome]

You take 100 dmg, 50 of that is under the threshold

That 50 is affected by your endurance %

[silver glen]

oh....i thought it only applied to when you're below the threshold

Endurance applies to any damage taken below your Endurance Threshold, even if the instance of damage applied while you were above it
Well endurance is way better than I thought lol

[alpine canopy]

Yeah 60% endurance is basically mandatory for health builds

[silver glen]

my pepega brain thought it only worked only if you were below the threshold when hit

This item is nutty right? I feel like the EHP calculator doesnt work for it

[turbid dome]

It good

[sour rivet]

vessel thing? I'll see what I can do 🙂

[waxen nymph]

Vessel and also a RM passive

[turbid dome]

Common Tunk W

[silver glen]

Average Tunk enjoyer

[turbid dome]

of course I love Tunk, bro's lab is PEAK at figuring out how to improve your build

[silver glen]

https://tenor.com/view/homework-thinking-writing-spongebob-gif-5121344

Me trying to improve my build

[turbid dome]

[topaz ibex]

dude how

just, how

[silver glen]

What you mean how

[topaz ibex]

or rather where

[topaz ibex]

sigh

[turbid dome]

[turbid dome]

not a fan of aberroth?

[topaz ibex]

as I understand he's not only somewhere far away, but also requires uber gear and is the last boss, meaning that you might not care what happens after

[turbid dome]

yeah he's at the end of the post campaign mini campaign

but the real goal of any build is to push corruption as high as possible

and he's at like the start of that

[topaz ibex]

I've grew a bit tired of meaningless maps and I only got 12 on one of the monolith

how much do I need before this

[turbid dome]

you beat each timeline -> beat all the timelines again on hard mode -> beat up abberoth

[topaz ibex]

so like I need to advance them 14 times each? (+6 corruption)

[turbid dome]

you dont need coruption in unempowered

and theres a catch up corruption system (based on your highest corruption timeline)

[topaz ibex]

ascI understood I need 14 resets to make monolith empowered

[alpine canopy]

No, you can get a lot more than 6 corruption per reset, and corruption is effectively shared in empowered due to the catch up mechanic

[turbid dome]

ah

no you just need to kill the boss of each timeline

I normally don't even increase corruption at all while in unempowered

[topaz ibex]

ah, so I didn't need to reset anything before?

[turbid dome]

yeah

you just made it harder + have better loot

[topaz ibex]

game kinda sucks at explaining this stuff

[alpine canopy]

Just gotta kill the bosses in the last 3 timelines, you can skip about 3 monos

[turbid dome]

empowered starts at 100 corruption anyways

[turbid dome]

are you using the game guide?

[topaz ibex]

yes

I've read article on empowered

it made zero sense to me

[turbid dome]

fair enough

[alpine canopy]

The quests should guide you to unlocking empowered and then to Aberroth

[topaz ibex]

like, you somehow get 50 corruption and then it suddenly magically 100 corruption because something will happen

eh...

try to give it to read to someone who wasn't through it before if you think I'm the only one

even legendary potential article is better

while it's also not obvious

basically, instead of a guide it feels like codex or documentation

[turbid dome]

fair

[polar spire]

I hope they show off new uniques soon

Only way you'll get me to come back, even without new sentinel changes, is more uniques for me to make crapass builds with

[turbid dome]

ye

[topaz ibex]

I forgot to thank you for putting your breath into explaining things like I'm 5

[turbid dome]

lol its all good

everyone (especially me) needs stuff explained sometimes

[waxen nymph]

How cooked is that ?

[woven temple]

It's not that much of "uber" gear, just moderately good build with moderately good gear. It's not nearly as hard as POE pinnacle bosses for instance. If you can clear like 300-350 corr you can do his fight.

[woven temple]

they fixed it and you can no longer cheese it by killing all heralds at 100 corr, you now need to hit the numbers listed in the bar

[topaz ibex]

except 300-350 is way beyond a point where average person cares to play, to what I observed

[woven temple]

also kinda true, especially if you use real average person numbers

I guess no less than 25-50% of people who bought the game had played less than 5 hours

unlocking empowered monos is probably upper 10-15% at best

killing aberoth is 1-3% most likely

[topaz ibex]

that's why I put it that way

[woven temple]

but by measure of hardcore players who seriously engage with the game it's pretty damn easy compared either with similar content in other arpgs or with hardcore content in other games

[topaz ibex]

especially since BBC and alike items don't seem to warrant effort put in it, more like meme

[woven temple]

it's a double edged sword, they didn't want to put BIS items behind a boss that many people would not be able to clear

on the other hand the balance in this game is questionable at best, and this includes unique items and their design

for instance there are many uniques in the game that are a net detriment to balance and build variety like ladle, wrongwarp, etc

[waxen nymph]

Pretty sure last time we had a number for this it was single digit

[woven temple]

yeah that's very believable

[topaz ibex]

thing I don't understand is why put not game breaking items behind last boss

in MMO it's understandable for future expansions, in season arpg it doesn't make sense

[woven temple]

most mmos are either horizontal progression or seasonal these days for that matter

"these days" more like last 15 years

[alpine canopy]

Partly because trade exists, but also just because the game doesn't end when you beat the boss.

[winter copper]

we dont have game breaking items in this game thank god

for power trip fantasies there are other games

even items that are impossible to obtain like 4 lp rav void etc wont give u significant edge over realisitcally minmaxed character, and more power comes from skills/passives rather than items which is great

[turbid dome]

Mmm 4 lp apathy’s maw

[winter copper]

same as 2lp

actually now, same as 3lp since pen is a thing

[turbid dome]

Nah need that +10 all for the bis

[woven temple]

4 lp maw slammed with a t28 exalt

[turbid dome]

Ez

Also needs flat melee void and %increased void dmg so rive can double that so we effectively have T28 slammed on from those two alone

[topaz ibex]

4 lp grumpy constitution

[turbid dome]

[alpine canopy]

Potentially very, but seems fun anyway

One thing I've been meaning to try is a warpath forged weapon build, but using abby's command to still be able to VC without interrupting warpath

I think you'll need mana regen slams on things with your current planner, also maybe worth considering sunforged greathelm unless/until you can get a good slam on tundra

[topaz ibex]

voice chat?

[alpine canopy]

Void cleave

[turbid dome]

void cleave best movement skill

[muted cloud]

Out of curiosity, does World Splitter make sense on warpath VK? Havent played WP in ages or look it up 😄

[silver glen]

I dont see why not

[polar spire]

Needa copy poe2 and have a empowered mono's talent tree lol

[turbid dome]

worldsplitter works, just keep in mind it cares about mana cost NOT channel cost

warpath's mana cost is 1

[silver glen]

Why would Last Epoch copy anything that PoE2 is doing lol. Its so bad

[silver glen]

Oh really? Good point

[turbid dome]

to tack on mana consumed is also not mana cost

[waxen nymph]

Not really. Mana cost is always 1

[muted cloud]

Soooo it doesnt count the original mana cost but the one thats actually reduced by skill points 🤔 so its just kinda meh...

[waxen nymph]

Not it count mana cost
Not channel cost

[turbid dome]

if you say make a 30 mana cost skill cost 20, then yeah

on warpath its mana cost is always 1

warpath has a channel cost (mana spent while channeling each second)

channel cost =/= mana cost =/= mana consumed

[muted cloud]

Okok, I see, thanks 😄

[turbid dome]

the worldsplitter item only looks at Mana cost

[alpine canopy]

and actually for warpath's specific case, the mana cost is probably either not applied at all or only for the first "swing" when you initially start channeling

though the effect of 1 mana cost is negligible either way

[turbid dome]

need me that 0.5 crit

[muted cloud]

I just wanted some as big as possible warpath, but I guess slamming t7 area on Maw is just better 😄

[polar spire]

Agree to disagree

[polar spire]

May as well run smelters at that point

You can get smelters to what, 50 mana cost?

And it gets an automatic 100% crit chance

You just go top left top right in the tree and walla

I hope the april sentinel rework doesnt remove axe volley from smelters, that shits so much fun with a 100+ dex build lol

[muted cloud]

Yea thats what I got told few weeks ago in game chat 😄 I might try that aswell, I havent tried FG yet... only VK wp into like middle of normal Monoliths and... another warpath but fire Paladin in normal monos too

[polar spire]

Fire Paladin but your main skill is fire abyssal echoes is also a fun time

You sit under bosses, eating all mechanics while healing 5000 a second

It has a node that makes it so after initial cast, it casts itself in place 2 times more. Then you just sit there and spam cast it. So its 5000 over the course of a second, a constant health gain every 10th of a second, avoiding quick double taps

And because its both an aoe healing spell and aoe fire damage spell in one, you can play a support with it, with other melee build players

[muted cloud]

It definitely sounds cool, with some huge aoe on top of it... I might check it out when 1.2 drops 😄 Just in my case in LE, I have this favoritism of void-related builds... 😄

[winter copper]

poe2 is the best, it has great foundation and they only started

[alpine canopy]

idk if I'd say best, but I'm sure LE can pull some inspiration from it just like it pulled inspiration from LE

[polar spire]

Most games nowadays pull elements from each other, why would LE not?

Whatever gets them more sales ayooo

[winter copper]

if le implimented some combat aspects from poe2 that would be insane

for example slowly moving while charging smelters wrath and some other abilities

i think its my biggest grip with LE combat, all skills basically dont have recovery frames so when u spam skills you still have micro movement

and it feels dynamic, but then you encounter a channeling skill and its like you get yeeted 20 years back in game development

it just feels so fing bad

[turbid dome]

Man if smelters wrath and rebuke let you waddle around while channeling them they would be so much better

[winter copper]

ive been saying that for years bug ehg seems to not entertain that idea 😦

[topaz ibex]

I don't understand channelling spells where you're compelled to stay in one place

even in WFRP you're allowed to reposition a bit

[alpine canopy]

I think it's just incompatible with the current movement controls, can't click to move while using mouse to aim

but if they add WASD movement, then that's a step toward them making skills like that - which does also mean WASD will be "mandatory" (in that, it will be strictly better than click to move)

[winter copper]

maybe, but its really stupid design stationary channeling skills is big d2 2000 vibes

[alpine canopy]

I feel like if channeling skills aren't movement skills, they need to be viable to use against bosses/single target or be really short channels

right now, what we have isn't really that

but I think they could improve a lot in the interim just with balance changes

[woven temple]

because giving the player more choice and agency in sculpting their mono run isn't bad, and it's not the problem with POE2 endgame

[woven temple]

you are thinking about it backwards, it counts not the original mana cost but the mana cost that is actually increased by skill points

[woven temple]

oh please, slapping mobility outta the ass everywhere is not revolutionary design, as multiple genres clearly demonstrate. Skills with more measured gameplay with actual tradeoffs in their design are vastly superior to mobility creep

[woven temple]

rebuke should get a node that gives you shield rush effect while channeling, or vice versa

[winter copper]

well how else u gonna fix smelters wrath

[slow plaza]

well

making it do damage

thats a good start

[winter copper]

in current LE stationary channeled skills arent viable

[woven temple]

give it more defensives while channeling, and more damage than skills without the channeling tradeoffs

[winter copper]

ull flop on 1k cor or high arena

[woven temple]

same logic applies to disintegrate, at least it kinda gets point 1

but its damage is laughable

[slow plaza]

but thats a sentinel problem

[winter copper]

like defenses+stationary will always be binary, there is no outplay at certain threshold you will be flopping

[slow plaza]

you flop because your a sentinel

[winter copper]

its bad design

[woven temple]

not if you spec anvil stance

oh wait

[slow plaza]

not because your stationary

being stationary is bad though I agree

the benefits should be huge

[winter copper]

in le itll never work imo

[slow plaza]

like for instance old wandering spirits was a great comprimise

[winter copper]

in other arpgs maybe

[slow plaza]

you sat there channeling making spirits that stayed after

[winter copper]

we have hundred orbital nukes and fast mobs

gl tanking that

[woven temple]

thats largely true in any kind of scaling content, and is fixed by making the rewards not scale indefinitely. See for example M+ in wow

[woven temple]

I still have no clue why they nuked it

[winter copper]

imo there is 2 ways to fix sw, make ignite ground giga strong or allow slow mobility, otherwise it will be forever mediocre skill

[woven temple]

adding mobility to channeling skills is like adding range to melee skills, it fixes the problem but completely misses the point

[winter copper]

well im not talking abt fast mobility

like actual below normal speed

so u can avoid bare minimum of projectiles

we literally have skills like dancing strikes and warpath

so sw should be similar to that but way slower

[waxen nymph]

Warpath even has a less MS built in

[winter copper]

ya but u can scale it

i think sw should have like unscalable 50-60% of base speed

so u can do couple steps before nuking

[waxen nymph]

Or maybe the more you charge the slower you get

[winter copper]

channeling skills is just a stupid and outdated design alltogether at least in current implimentations, for example we have it in poe2 but they were smart and basically made it into a fake tag

[winter copper]

ya that would be more thematic

[waxen nymph]

Just being allowed to turn around would be great

So you are not forced to take the circle node

Btw Cone Shaped 🤢

[winter copper]

chances itll be decent in 1.2 is 3% tho

or 0.3%

[waxen nymph]

This what we need imo

best paint artist here

[gusty abyss]

Just add a MTX for it, where a giant key comes out of the ground

[waxen nymph]

Because you know when you channel stationnary and get surrounded, it would be nice to not just kill the first enemy in front of you

[slow plaza]

guys

theres precedence for this

divine ire

[winter copper]

ngl melee mobs arent the issue in le, but having 200 goatmans throwing 20 axes each at you while channeling is much more pressing issue

[waxen nymph]

Smelter Wrath not block and send back projectiles

[winter copper]

ye if they add smth like ice shield from mage that block directional damage, but then there are void/necro orbital atrillery

so wont help much

[slow plaza]

My favorite is the diamond matrons + ospirix + covenents

[winter copper]

ye we have so much aoe damage incoming in le u just cant be stationary

[slow plaza]

I think hot potato is the word your looking for

[gusty abyss]

For channeling to be viable the channeling skill needs to buff defense (quite a lot). But also enemies can't have quick hard hitting attacks. IE the covenents aoe attack is way to fast for channeling to be viable.

[winter copper]

ye we have tons of fast hard hitting abilities

[gusty abyss]

Smelters does double armor and armor has increasing returns, so it is a good candidate to be viable if those fast hard hitting attacks get better/longer indicators.

[winter copper]

actually thinking abot it now we have extremely dum enemy design where all melee mobs are giga slow and easily avoidable attacks and majority of dangerous ranged enemies are wielding miniguns or artillery

shouldnt it be another way? melee fast and strong and ranged slow and heavy

[gusty abyss]

ideally, all combo's exist.

variation is great 😄

[slow plaza]

we actually do have scary melee mobs

[winter copper]

ye its infinite scaling issue

[slow plaza]

ospirix raiders and the poison snakes

but other than that yeah

[gusty abyss]

Thinking about this, the chonky harbinger is slow and easy to dodge. "Easy" to fight well above your corruption level. The other one has some really fast and deadly attacks in comparison.

[woven temple]

no no make it go faster with charge until you fly around via the superheated exhaust

[woven temple]

it should just be baseline

[woven temple]

nah just reuse the forge strike animation but instead of a giant anvil it drops a giant key

[waxen nymph]

Not sure I agree there but why not

[gusty abyss]

With it comming out of the ground, it could spin with the AOE node though.

[woven temple]

idk the chonky harbinger is actually a lot more nimble than I expected, although the thin harbinger is obviously faster

[gusty abyss]

Chonky all has clear indicators with relative long time before something happens.

The other one has several attacks with no clear indicator that fires almost right away.

Its easy to punch above where you should be if you can just move out of anything that hurts you. See D3 Grifts before the mob ability rework where literally everything was avoidable.

If you can't avoid a hit, than in infinite scaling content that hit will kill you.

Like wise, if everything is avoidable, then glass cannon will push the farthest

[alpine canopy]

Yeah, chonky harb is way easier than the non-chonk

[turbid dome]

chonky harby is way more of a player knowledge check

ie: know when to use evade

lean mean fighting machine harby is a lot more of a build check as your not going to avoid every hit

[woven temple]

you can actually avoid a lot of it since her combo is predictable, but it is a lot more demanding to timing

[turbid dome]

True

Lean mean harby is a lot easier with exalted ms boots

[worn sluice]

i have that skills i try to know how use it

[turbid dome]

get 3 points in that

[worn sluice]

ok

i have polish lang but

idk why my white artifact stronger than legendary with 89% spell physic (for shield bash)

so is more stronger 9% physic damage vs 89% spell physisc dmg?

[turbid dome]

• thats a unique not a legendary
• shield bash isn't a spell

look a skills scaling tags to see what it is

[waxen nymph]

Since Shield Bash is not a Spell, 89% Spell Phys Dmg does nothing

[turbid dome]

👋

[worn sluice]

ahh thats why now understand a bit

[turbid dome]

in general the estimated damage number isn't great, but for most things if its number goes up, thats better

[worn sluice]

so hat skill have like spell physic

[turbid dome]

yeah like acolyte's bone shard spell

it has both physical and spell, that item increased physical spells

in general the more precise an affix gets, the bigger the number is

[worn sluice]

I have the impression that digitally small dmg but when I use a skill it makes the impression that it is bigger because "I used a spell". In other games spell = use skill 😄

[turbid dome]

yeah

thats why I always check my scaling tags

its a little tricky to get the hang of but you'll get it

[worn sluice]

is dummy for look dmg ? i want test both artifact or u true say so this unique item sux for bash

[turbid dome]

damage test dummys are in the champions gate zone in the divine era

its in the divine era

[worn sluice]

i droped 2h wand anarchy bo with blocks so maybe he good weap for new update 2h+shield xd

[turbid dome]

thats a staff, tho i don't think the 2h + shield lets you use staffs

we also haven't seen the downside for 2h + shield so I"m a lil worried

[waxen nymph]

2h + Shield won't allow Staves (unless they change their mind)

The downside must be Less AS, right???

[worn sluice]

i dont see dummy lol on divine era or wrong city?

i used that staff on my sentinel

so work just unlock shiekld xd

[turbid dome]

Wrong area

It’s up by the ice city

[alpine canopy]

That's what I'm betting on, so it'll be good to get a defensive (and maybe offensive) buff on things that don't scale (much) with attack speed

[woven temple]

acolyte blood magic themed spells are physical spells, primalist also has a few of those

[turbid dome]

Ye

Is bone marrow shards not blood magic

I need the lore on this

[woven temple]

its bone magic, totally different

[turbid dome]

Fair

Given the composition of bone you could argue bone magic is a subsection of geomancy

[alpine canopy]

Bones have blood in them

[woven temple]

If you try to apply modern scientific paradigm to magic you are getting nowhere fast, like what exactly is the domain of geomancy?

is it rock? What constitutes a rock? Is it only minerals? What is a mineral? Etc

[turbid dome]

Geomancy covers the manipulation of rock, dirt/soil and minerals

Geomancy itself is a branch of telekinesis, which is why most of the traditional geomancy spells involve using rocks/objects in the environment… this however rapidly consumes one’s mana so dedicated geomancy was developed

[alpine canopy]

Bones are just hard organs basically that also happen to produce blood

Pretty peak blood magic imo

[turbid dome]

True

This is the fun thing about magic, the same result can happen in many ways

[sour rivet]

added this slider and couple of stats from Grim Constitution unique as well (they are all under "advanced").
didn't have much time to test it, let me know if you get wildly different values with items vs calculator (<1% difference is normal).
just keep in mind that if you have for example vessel equipped, you can't just copy-paste ward/s from character sheet to calculator AND use "Health Regen also applies to Ward" slider because it would add the ward bonus twice.
https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ward

[turbid dome]

Tunk is the goat

[worn sluice]

hey guys i cant understand about talizman

i have +1 for sentinel and not see +1 on mys kill tree why ?

and what is +2 tuning?

[turbid dome]

I'd guess attunement?

does it raise on of your stats on your character page

[worn sluice]

o lol

is only upgrade thiat

[turbid dome]

yeah +level to all sentinel skills adds 1 level to all your skills

you can skill/xp level them to 20 so its 21 max level now

[worn sluice]

but tuning+2 idk english name what is hell

[turbid dome]

I don't know polish but google says it can also mean to attune

[sour rivet]

Dostrojenie = Attunement

[worn sluice]

i saw alot name "dostrojenie" so what is attunement

i have many itesm +2 attunement what is it?

[turbid dome]

attunment is one of your stats, each point of attunement gives +2 max mana and provides scaling to skills with the attunment tag

[turbid dome]

compared to other stats its kinda bad unless your skills really benefit from attunement scaling

Forge guard loves it for minion stats

[waxen nymph]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1230885472751063070

It gives 2 Max Mana, also 4% Inc Dmg for skill that scale with Attunement

[sour rivet]

open your character sheet (C) or game guide (G) to find out more about attributes like attunement

[worn sluice]

lol diont saw it okay

tnx

[worn sluice]

every now and then the inscription "the code of the erased sentinel has improved" appears, what is it?

i am now on ice map hard hit me io see only 6% resist ice have 😄

[worn sluice]

is possible to upgrade boots for red legendary?

like red frame?

[unborn urchin]

As you kill monsters the "weaver's will" is going to add red upgrades like legendary to that "weaver's will" item and no you cannot combine this with legendary potential item

Once all "weaver's will" is gone from item it will change name to red like legendary (unless I am forgetting it has been a while)

[turbid dome]

I should turn red after it adds an affix

[waxen nymph]

As you kill monsters the "weaver's will" is going to add red upgrades like legendary to that "weaver's will" item and no you cannot combine this with legendary potential item

[worn sluice]

u mean if see that boss for items click "abbadon and next will se better item?

[worn sluice]

any idea how generate mana for bash now be burn as hell

[waxen nymph]

You need to take node that makes it 0 Mana cost or close

Or use a "Generator" such as Vengeance

[topaz ibex]

funnily enough I still can't get the idea how much is stat scaling vs damage scaling

[waxen nymph]

If your skill scales with XXX attributes, usually you get 4% Inc Dmg per Attribute

If you hover the skill with your mouse and press Alt, it should tell you what you get from your attributes

There are a few exceptions (especially in VK) where you get Flat Dmg per Attribute

[topaz ibex]

doesn't seem like amazing investment

[waxen nymph]

The goal is to try to have as much return on your Attributes if you decide to scale them

For exemple a Shaman Storm Totem build will get per pt of Attunement
Flat Spell Dmg for the Totem
Inc Spell Dmg for the Totem
Max Mana thats used in a More Dmg
Lightning Pen for the Totem
Flat Life Regen

To stay in the Sentinel theme, Attunement for a Conc Aura/Ground build gives
Inc Dmg
Inc Heal Effect > Thats also Flat Spell Dmg
Max Mana > More Dmg
Could give Less DoT Taken

[woven temple]

thats why all stats have secondary effects, and also a lot of passives scale with primary stats, especially on mage with int

if primary stat was better for damage than damage affixes, what's the point in those?

[turbid dome]

getting both would be the point then for even more scaling

[worn sluice]

how i take lvl 2 range

[unborn urchin]

level up circle of fortune rank and make sure character is aligned to circle of fortune faction

[river raptor]

Does anyone here have a decent smelters wrath build? Just got to monos and while I clear decently well it feels clunky as the skill doesn't always respond to inputs (especially when using reave before, it forces me to wait 0.1-0.5 seconds before it responds to wrath)

Currently going smelters wrath, rive (not reave), healing hands for the melee attack, fire void cleave, and forge strike.

Was thinking of swapping something for sigils when I unlock them.. And maybe go vengeance instead of rive so I can focus more on smelters

[waxen nymph]

Dreadful made one use World Splitter and the node that convert AoE into Charge Speed

[river raptor]

Isn't aoe always converted to chargespeed, and one of the top most nodes removes that for fire pen?

Sorry, fire dmg over time

But that sounds reasonable. Does attackspeed ever contribute to the charge time? Assuming not, but haven't seen anything that talks about attackspeed for smelters..

Apart from converting it to crit

[winter copper]

its useless

[river raptor]

What is useless?

[winter copper]

attack speed for smelters

[turbid dome]

Yeah that uses charge rate

Blacksmith’s breadth is the only node that affects that I think

[worn sluice]

hi im 60 lvl now i trying kil boss on rift

22% hp left and die i have big problem as mana

3 hits or 4 and no mana foer bash shield

have arround 18500 dmg

[river raptor]

Get a generator skill like vengeance or such

And the sentinel node that makes those give mana and hp

Could I get some pointers for a last ability when going smelters wrath? Currently I got smelters, vengeance, void cleave for movement + proccing echoes, and abyssal echoes that are specialised.
For the last slot I'm wondering what to take - forge strike, healing hands, volatile reversal, or something else?

What would be the best to boost my smelters damage?

[turbid dome]

Time and faith in base sentinel

[turbid dome]

In terms of damage, your not beating volatile reversal

[river raptor]

Thanks man, was thinking of that.
Tried out sigil of hope.. But I'm rarely above 80% mana 😅

[turbid dome]

Basically get both void rift nodes and the one that makes them take increased damage then,

stand next to boss -> VR in place -> smelters wrath -> big dmg

[river raptor]

Yeah, done the same with Es and vc on my void knight. It's sick 👀

[turbid dome]

[worn sluice]

what skill venegance

aah see 0 mana so just swap for boss and back to main skill ? okay understand

[worn sluice]

what is this ? it works if you have 1 singularity is it about one statue 1 x 1 dimensions?

if use him i have -1k dmg idk why

[woven temple]

read the second line of text on it

[turbid dome]

no critical hits is a very big downside and makes that only good on very specific builds

[river raptor]

There is a sentinel node that makes it give you mana

[turbid dome]

time and faith in the base sentinel tree ^

[worn sluice]

mhm

but he need only one 1x1 or only one witht all slots?

[alpine canopy]

It means if you try to equip more than one singularity, all singularities give you no damage bonus.

[magic bear]

Hey, I just reached chapter 9 with my paladin. I'm level 57. Would you recommend starting the monolith of fate? I'm playing HC SCF.

I like the campaign but the Lagon fight made me question my survivability.

[quick geyser]

Yep, that boss certainly feels like the first "build test", I still struggle against him myself. 😅

Then again, I'm what some may call a "filthy casual". 😛

[magic bear]

The waves removed 30% of my health which was a first since the beginning. I've never seen my health move before so quite the surprise. I wonder if the monoliths are going to be the same step up.

[quick geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/look-smile-smirk-breezy-moves-ornery-gif-3520545

[magic bear]

I've seen after the fight that he apparently has a beam that OS but he died too fast to do it.

If I did in HC I understand I can keep playing in SC but I forfeit my stash and crafting materials. I did read some very bizarre comments about being a ghost though. What's up with that?

[alpine canopy]

Where it currently says "hardcore" on your character sheet, it says "ghost" or something like that. It just lets you know that the character was originally made in HC.

[winter copper]

playing HC and sentinel is already very questionable

good luck there

[chilly peak]

Funny, need to look out for that one, never seen that

[chilly peak]

The first monoliths are usually easier than story lagoon.
Ending the Storm mono (Lagoon again) is the first boss in normal monos that can keep up with later campaign bosses.

In HC I usually go to monos after chapter 6 (all idols and passives) and reach act9 with a T1 Temporal Sanctum.

[chilly peak]

Next bigger step (like this one) will be when you enter empowered for the first time

[magic bear]

I played most H&S in HC so far, I find it interesting. I picked Sentinel because I liked the looks, even though melee tends to suffer greatly in these games.
I played HC SSF sorceress in PoE2 so how much worse could it be? :P

[magic bear]

Ok, thanks! I'll probably give the monolith a try then.

[winter copper]

well if u stay below 300 cor and play certain builds u should be fine

[magic bear]

Even if I die, the consequences are pretty tame.

[winter copper]

after that without strong build and gear can be sketch

[neat sigil]

I made a build, but I don't know if it's actually viable... it's mostly a thought of "I want to face-tank all the everything and don't care if the kill is fast"

but I need someone who actually has two brain cells to rub together to look it over and tel lme if it'll work before I try leveling it

[magic bear]

I'm using the javelin leveling build from Maxroll l. I planned on playing Judgment Aura after that. What do you think?

[turbid dome]

LE doesn’t have the river hag

[magic bear]

River Hag was annoying, but the millions of Gelid Zealots in the original tower layout was something else.

[turbid dome]

True

[magic bear]

The one ARP I would never play HC is D4. Even though OS mechanics are well telegraphed, there is so much screen clutter that it's next to impossible to see what's going on.

[turbid dome]

The butcher kinda made HC more fun in d4

The ever present threat of him just trying to murder me really added to the experience

[magic bear]

D4 would be fine in HC without the open world clutter with other players.

[turbid dome]

That would help

[neat sigil]

Could you tell me if the gear is good enough to start monoliths?

[chilly peak]

You should raise EHP fast now

[woven temple]

its a fairly niche playstyle that will also most likely be removed from the game with the sentinel rework in the next update if they make VR no longer restore mana

it's also been repeatedly hit with the nerf bat for no fuc king reason cause it wasn't particularly overperforming, and its evil twin the one punch man build wasnt stellar either

oh no some guy grinded for 500 hours straight and oneshot t4 julra, better nerf immediately

some guy who grinded for 10 hours in a sacrifice build: hold my beer

Which build would you recommend? I wasn't very found of the buff stacking builds ince the buffs seem to last not very long.

[woven temple]

idk I've not played sent much lately, the erasing strike build looks fun, if you want to build judgment try the regular hit version without aura

I had an alt rolled to try it this cycle but he's still level 12

[magic bear]

I mastered Paladin so I guess Forge Guard and Void Knight are out of the picture.

[woven temple]

I mean LE is not a one character game really, you will eventually level up alts anyways

[magic bear]

Considering I am playing in SCF for now, alts have no value if I understand correctly how this challenge works.

[fickle reef]

anyone on I could ask a question or two about smite / my current build to get some advice with?

[turbid dome]

link the build and yeah

[fickle reef]

okay, first off to not waste too much time for anyone else, how do I link my build?

[turbid dome]

go to last epoch tools -> build planner -> hit the import button

follow the instructions -> use the builders share button

[fickle reef]

in my inventory I was intending on slamming two aurelis and swapping to multi to be my main damager from warpath, but I had questions about my smite nodes

[turbid dome]

ok one of these should be 100%

or is this build pre monos

[fickle reef]

okay. I will be silent until you are done with general advice. I have begun monos but I am not near empowered yet. currently working through ending the storm

[turbid dome]

rest of the general advice @fickle reef

• if this is a life build (not using ward at all), you need a LOT more max life
• your body armor is bad, the base is from like level 5. Sentinel relies heavily on the huge armor value your body armor + helmet gives for not die
• I personally wouldn't use two sun seal rings, part of the strength of ring uniques is that you have two slots
• you need to do some resistance shuffling, your overcapped on cold and fire, and you barely have any phys res (enemies get 1% res pen per area level, up to 75%... so in a level 60 zone your taking a LOT more damage)
• do your quests to get all your idol slots
• your skill trees look ok overall, would reccomend against fissure on smite tho its kinda bad imo

gonna look at your passive tree now

passive tree things

• your missing heavily armored in base sentinel tree (10% DR is very good)
• you have gladiator speced but aren't duel wielding
• your missing reverence of duality (paladin tree)
• unsure if you are aware, but you can put points into the first half of the other two mastery trees, Abyssal Endurance is a fairly common yoink from void knight for defense

[fickle reef]

okay, thank you so far. Dual wield is for my intention of slamming those 2 Aurelis and dualwielding them. the main reason I have kept my chest so far was the attunement and strength on it, with the Palarus' sword I thought it was contributing a decent amount of damage along with the high attunement being a direct buff to smite. (Not trying to say I am right, just saying my reasoning, not very knowledgeable with sentinel)

[turbid dome]

nah thats fair

your just in monos with lvl 5 body armor... just craft something on a better base and use that

imo for your base sentinel tree this would work better

the block effectiveness from stalwart isn't great value per point

given you can get idols with like +400 block effectiveness

[fickle reef]

ah yeah I see

When I have my 2 swords, should I still keep warpath or just go full multi for everything and get another skill in its place?

[turbid dome]

dual wield warpath with a vortex pennant and some idols works great for smite spam

you just spin at stuff and spam trigger smite

said pennant

you use this with the smite on throwing hit idol cause these axes are throwing hits

so you get smite from warpath tree and from the random axe throws

[fickle reef]

mmh, okay. What about the smite tree? Other than removing fissures, any other input? I think one thing is swapping the 2 from pillars of light to blinding flash as pillars is useless without direct casting, but blinding could at least provide some benefit

[turbid dome]

trade fissure nodes for deep impact

crit multi 👍

and yeah swap pillars of light for blinding flash

[fickle reef]

okay. Gosh, I know it isnt to be trusted really, but seeing the paper dps drop from 36k to 5.5k from removing fissures hurts haha

[turbid dome]

🤔

I know fissure isn't bad early on

if you notice it being way less damage respec it in

also tho don't trust the tooltip dps

[fickle reef]

yeah

[turbid dome]

go to champions gate and use the target dummies

[fickle reef]

oh, so it feels very lackluster to up the damage of smite. Like getting a belt that had 20-30% more fire damage only increased smites damage by a small amount. Is there some kind of balance to appropriately dmaage stacking for skills? (Like iirc in D3 you would get 10% crit multi for each 1% crit you had as it was seen as the best ratio for dps)

[turbid dome]

thats why the warpath build wants to spam out a LOT of smites

tho granted you don't have a ton of stat yet for the sword

a scpetre might work better

[fickle reef]

is a scepter my only real option then? Other than making sure I have all independent multiplicatives (fire damage%, ele %, spell %, etc)

[turbid dome]

like 28 strength /2 = 14 spell dmg

[turbid dome]

sceptre or staff given your still gonna be warpathing and smacking stuff with that

but like 58 flat vs 14 flat

[fickle reef]

so, what about the idea of maining multistrike with 2 of those swords? Would it work that using 2 of those swords would mean two smites would be cast each time I hit a rare or boss with multistrike?

just exploring my options

[turbid dome]

I believe the up to 3 times per second is the limit for both swords?

but better odds to do that and better stat to flat dmg

basically the idea is just warpath next to the thing and trigger a bunch of smites

you do want to up your strength

a lot

[fickle reef]

I am speaking of slamming and dualwielding Aurelis, not Palarus

[turbid dome]

hmm

gotta go all in on electrify then imo

[fickle reef]

I am down, I am still early on and clearly have plenty of changes to make so haha

[turbid dome]

I haven't thought about using Aurelis in a hot minute

you'd want these upper nodes then on smite

[fickle reef]

yeah I think I can get at least some of those. doing that though I cant get more than 1 point into charged hand unless I give up some points in either deep impact or conviction

[turbid dome]

thats the thing, if your doing electrify thats a dot build

and you don't need crit for that

you still want sacrifice tho

[fickle reef]

ah okay, that frees up a lot.

and I assume I would want atonement as well, no?

[turbid dome]

yeah but if you have half decent regen you don't need 5 points in it

[fickle reef]

maybe 2 or 3? I suppose 3 would make it do less than 7% of my hp per cast instead of 15%, so that would be a big decrease already

[turbid dome]

maybe something like this?

leech 👍

[fickle reef]

I think I am going to use that set up, def thank you for that.

what about my other abilities? I am unsure how useful holy aura is or isnt, either at all or how I have it specced, or if there is something better I could spec into in it s place.

[turbid dome]

I know holy aura is good... not sure how to spec it for this (I don't play paladin much)

[fickle reef]

Ill try taking a look around.

[magic bear]

So I am done with the campaign.
I am playing HC SCF, here is my character: https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/SmashingQuasar/character/Quasar
What would you recommend doing at this point to start the monoliths?
The only resistance that is not capped is Poison resistance. Should I try to craft better gear right away?

Also, I was using a javelin build found on Maxroll that allowed me to steam roll the campaign, but I don't know how viable this will be for monoliths.

[chilly peak]

Yes, you need asap better gear, most important, get your HP up and cap your endurance at 60%.

Not having full Endurance potential is imo deadly in HC.

Poison resist is the least important, cause poison dmg usually comes either as an ailment which you can hopefully remove, or as pools that you can leave.

Your EHP is very low for HC, and every boss can get dangerous.

Never played Javelin builds, so can't reply on that

[magic bear]

Thanks, do you have any suggestion on hot to proceed with this? Where can I find craft bases?
Is there an optimised way to approach resistance on gear? For example, should I favour +Elemental Resistance over +Fire/Cold/Lightning Resistance? (I haven't looked if the affixes have the same ranges or if it is /3).

[chilly peak]

Climbing up as long as you feel comfortable and filling the gaps I see would be my approach. No shame to repeat a normal mono if needed in HC imo, tho you usually want to avoid that in SC.

I can't look too deep into your build right now, as I'm at work and just about to finish my lunch break ^^

[waxen nymph]

I would change your weapon. Any lvl 52 base sceptre has at least 38 Flat (10x what you have), also you can get %Dmg in it.
You helmet aswell is not really nice on an non Ignite build. Having a Unique in the helmet slot make it really hard to get hp (%hp) you have got too much res, and I wouldn't worry too much at the start of Empower if you poison res is not maxed.
Res aren't as punitive as Poe for exemple. 1% res missing is "only" 1%more dmg taken. Where in Poe
I believe it's like 4%.
Gloves aswell, could do better and get more hp

Overall I would say you should get at least 200/300 extra hp before considering Empowered safely.

Never playedHC, but I have noticed under 1.3k hp as a Sentinel I have a hard time.

[magic bear]

Ok thanks!

What about craft bases? Is there a reliable way to get them?

I saw a list on Maxroll of the "best" bases.

[keen perch]

hey sentinel folks, played LE before and now struggling in building my warpath smite paladin as starter as I do not know how things work anymore, any thoughts on this, gladly appreciate on improvement/tip for the build, my brain is fried

[gusty abyss]

Ill leave this here: https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/skyqula/character/Smite

https://imgur.com/a/j5YSvsS

[keen perch]

I dont feel like mixing in melee, crit and other stuff is that efficient, but I will look into it, thanks

[gusty abyss]

Any melee or throwing stats are incidental. Its a pure smite scaling build.

And no crit on a hit based build is very questionable xD

the fire pen and crit nodes on warpath are global btw, it works for smite, that is why wings with + warpath is taken

[keen perch]

I tried putting up crits while building, but my stats are too divided so does skills, still exploring

ohh I have your build bookmarked lol, one of references I used, glad seeing you here

does healing hands have no other use than just being traversal skill?

[gusty abyss]

basically, it buffs divine bolt a bit, though not important enough

If you want to push damage, VR, but that is more of a boss thing

[keen perch]

sorry whats VR

[gusty abyss]

Volatile Reversal

[keen perch]

ahh, i just want spin2win chill lol

[gusty abyss]

Yeah... 1.2 is gonna be interesting

VR might then be the movement skill of choice

For the right reasons xD

[waxen nymph]

You play, you drop them as rare or exalted and craft on them. You don't start from white

[turbid dome]

some bases are just better than others and should be the ones you aim for (Leo helmet for example)... but currently you just need better gear to not get exploded when a big rare mob looks at you funny

ie for body armor this is the highest level base you can wear rn, its implicit armor is like double your current armor

but yeah as Vlad said, don't try to start crafting from a white base

find a half decent base with exalted flat/percent health

also reverence of duality 👍

[magic bear]

Ok thanks, I assume doing regular lvl58 monolith is the way to farm these, isn't it?

[chilly peak]

Yes, usually the level 58 monolith is super easy and that goes even for the boss. If you made the whole campaign, it should even get a bit easier with the first mono.
I personally feel the second boss is very easy too (he is only annoying), so I usually won't stop "pushing" until the third mono, even in HC and with not-optimal equipment. But I also have a lot of experience and a 4 digit playtime, don't feel urged - you got only one life in HC 😄

But if you can't manage to build up: 60% Endurance, (near) capped resi, proper crit defense and a decent hp/ward pool there is the time where you can just repeat a mono after clearing the boss just to get more loot (and levels). I feel taking a slower pace in HC is one of the things why I personally like the mode

[magic bear]

Ok thanks!

[worn sluice]

any idea how escape i some time down on map

and hardstuck

[waxen nymph]

Try to out

Otherwise exit game

[magic bear]

So I'm confused.
How reliable is the damage indication on the tooltip of items?

I tried switching my weapon as you advised, and it massively tanked the estimated damage.

[turbid dome]

it heavily depends on your damage set up

imo always go to champions gate and smack the training dummies there

[magic bear]

Good idea.

[turbid dome]

like if your going from a weapon with less attack speed but more flat to a weapon with more attack speed and less flat the tooltip thing might be accurate? until you consider faster hits = more debuff stacks = more damage

[magic bear]

I think it's more the 56% increased damage over time outweights significantly the raw spell damage increase.

[turbid dome]

thats dependent on the skill, but also yeah the tooltip dps tries to account for aliments that the skill applies

[magic bear]

I'm using Javelin as my reference since it is my primary DPS skill.

[turbid dome]

🤔

did you switch from a spear to not a spear

[magic bear]

Scepter to Scepter and also tried Scepter to Wand.

Ok so we can paste images here, I'll show you the difference in a moment.

Here is my currently equipped weapon.

Switching to a 42 spell damage weapon.

[turbid dome]

🤔 I guess the tooltip dps is trying to account for the spreading flames and the more damage from that

[magic bear]

The spreading flames is most of my damage.

The javelin hit deals almost no damage.

[turbid dome]

how much +throwing damage do you have

you can get it on rings, belt, amulet, relic, gloves

also javelin is special and gets 50% of a spear's melee damage as added throwing damage

if your using javelin as a dot delivery service not adding hit damage is ok, but if you want the hit to do damage you need throwing damage for it

[magic bear]

Yes, but I am following the build from Maxroll that plays on spell damage and increased damage over time so the first hit does not matter that much.
After testing it, I can confirm the tooltip is blatantly lying about the damage.

[turbid dome]

[magic bear]

The trail ticks at 8.8k with my old scepter and 12.1k with the new one.

Despite the tooltip predicting a DPS loss.

[turbid dome]

and this is why we have the training dummies

[magic bear]

Can I find the formula used on LastEpochTools?

It's going to be a headache to optimise gear without knowing the impact of my choices.

[tropic grotto]

I'm trying to decide what prefix to give this thing. Planning on using it for a forge guard after the new update so I was thinking about some of the fire specific affixes but another part of me just says to play it safe and give it vitality so it can be useful in various different builds. Opinions?

[turbid dome]

which formula? the damage formula?

[turbid dome]

thats gonna get thrown into legacy only when the new update/cycle shows up

[tropic grotto]

Yeah I don't have any interest in playing in cycle

[turbid dome]

fair enough

I'd just leave the slot open until you decide what to play when the update comes out

[magic bear]

Yes, I would assume there are several formulas depending on skill and damage type.

[turbid dome]

nah

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/resources/damage-explained

its really just this

[magic bear]

After reading about it, I like the cycle system in LE. Having to constantly restart a character is exhausting, especially when you play multiple ARPGs. It's nice to be able to breathe.

[magic bear]

Thanks!

[tropic grotto]

Same here. I like just being able to build up my stuff on legacy and not have to worry about missing content like in POE

[turbid dome]

if your curious about base damage on a dot (like ignite or spreading flames) you can look up the aliment/effect on last epoch tools

[turbid dome]

thats valid, I just always remind people of cycles because a lot don't know

didn't want ya to get pranked

[magic bear]

As a developer myself, I'm always wondering how the developers of other ARPGs feel about seasonal content.
It's basically work they are throwing away extremely quickly.
I mean, I'm a CTO of a company and throwing away so much work would really hurt me. I wouldn't even consider it a good investment.

[turbid dome]

yeah... the seasonal cycle makes more sense once theres a lot of content in the base game/thats core

[tropic grotto]

Yeah. Part of it is probably the ARPG player base though. Hardcore players consume content so quickly that they just want something different and exciting but it seems unhealthy to me

[turbid dome]

I think I'd fist fight my boss if they threw out my work cause its now quarter two

[magic bear]

I mean Grim Dawn is probably one of the best, longest running ARPG there is, with tons of content and a dedicated fanbase, and there is no seasonal content.

[turbid dome]

true

[winter copper]

forge guard warpath is 0 dps compared to void knight, there is no point playing any warpath besides spell paladin version or void echo

by not playing void knight you are missing on 180% more damage and 200% more damage from echoes

[winter copper]

why is seasonal content tthrown away? its thrown away only if you throw it away lol any sane company keeps part of seasonal mechanics in the game after season ends

LE keeps part of it,same goes for poe

[tropic grotto]

I'm less interested in damage and mostly just want it as a conduit for forged weapon summoning. It might depend on how the overhaul pans out.

[winter copper]

well its highly depends on rework of forged weapons in 1.2, which honestly wont happen imo. But right now ailment version is so so much better, but then they will be gutting volatile reversal in 1.2 so that also questionable. Imo dont waste that armor on FG,save for VK one day

i wish they will buff weapons somehow, but with removal of reversal future looks pretty grim, unless you are using them as supplimentary to shield throw+manifest armor

[tropic grotto]

Eh I'm not that interested in void knight aesthetically. I'm looking forward to the changes. Having a two handed weapon in one hand sounds awesome

[alpine canopy]

I don't think the tooltip understands the concept of non-stacking ailments like spreading flames

[alpine canopy]

Usually from what I've seen, it doesn't get thrown away. They heavily focus on clever asset re-use to minimize new work to be done, any new work is saved to be expanded upon and re-used similarly in the future, some/all of the new content may become permanent as well in a less overbearing way. For LE, the one "seasonal" thing they have done so far was a short event, which we all know was really just a fun way for them to get some large scale testing of a minor new feature (new enemy modifiers).

[magic bear]

I mean, D4 throws away almost its entire seasonal content every season.
Blizzard is used to this, they have been doing the same thing with WoW for years. Every expansion you have a new system, and the previous one is destroyed.

Same for Inquisitor Martyr, the only difference being that you can replay seasons whenever you want which I love.

PoE is a dice roll on this (what isn't with GGG?). Sometimes they keep the content, sometimes they don't. It does not even seem tied to the community liking the content so it's strange.

[magic bear]

They do it because it preys on people's dopamine addiction. It's tied to FOMO exploitation as well.
FOMO is awful for consumers, but somehow people defend these practices. The brain does weird things.

[winter copper]

ehh that sounds like conspiracy theory ngl

dopamine addiction might be a thing, i have no clue cause i dont give a shit abt loot in arpgs, i get what i want and done with it

as for seasonal content, you have to develop your game, so seasons work nicely for that, if content is good u can leave best parts of it in the main game, if content is bad and idea didnt pan out i dont see why it shouldnt be thrown away

a lot of ideas are just bad in arpgs, so no reason to not get rid of them

[winter copper]

also i think you are misunderstanding arpg market in the core, it is not FOMO that drives people to play it, i mean maybe there are some lunatics who actually are scared to miss a league, but its fresh start what keeps people to get back into it. You make a char finish a season with it and then you done mission accomplished, people dont care that much for seasonal content as long as there is something new, they care for a new journey and to try out new build

[magic bear]

Grim Dawn is one of the most praised ARPGs and one of the longest lived and does not engage in any FOMO seasonal content. Same goes for D2.

[magic bear]

Conspiracy theory? It's an academically studied topic. Check the sources of this article for example: https://medium.com/@milijanakomad/product-design-and-psychology-the-exploitation-of-fear-of-missing-out-fomo-in-video-game-design-5b15a8df6cda

[uneven gorge]

Reason I couldn't get into d4 & poe, and regular resets in general. I just don't like games putting a countdown till when I can no longer play the way I want, or until all my progress will be deleted. It makes it feel like I'm working around their time, not my own

[woven temple]

folks remind me again what exactly in Healing Hands tree starts affecting Divine bolts with the Divine Catalyst node? Does it get healing eff scaling from Bane of Evil for instance?

[uneven gorge]

This node ^^

[waxen nymph]

Bane, Cleric Wrath and Virtue of Patience

I want to say Turn Undead and Halt the Scourge too but I am not sure

[alpine canopy]

That's probably the one I'm the least experienced with. The one season I remember from it seemed pretty minor in terms of amount of new things they created for it. Maybe like a small zone and one new monster model, but of course they might have re-used those, too, or they may re-use them in the future, idk.

[worn sluice]

where is tip about craft ? i non stop not understand how craft and make like ful purple amour skills?

is aw purple "max 500 block" other 1k almost so why ? is about lvl item drop?

[waxen nymph]

Purple is drop only , you CAN NOT make one

[waxen nymph]

If you mean Armor, yes different base item come with different amount of Armor

Higher lvl base usually have more Armor

[worn sluice]

okay understand then have maybe today last q

how can open this door?

where is the stash of eternity and when I leave the dungeon will be gone

[stuck steeple]

you can input items in the past and collect the result in the future.

you need to use your time travel ability from the dungeon in this room

[worn sluice]

hmm i dint saw time 😮 hmm is maybe vod on youtube?

[stuck steeple]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swLlOgNLsm8

[worn sluice]

i saw but i cant see this 2 frames or change era idk how

[stuck steeple]

press D to change era while in the dungeon

[worn sluice]

ahahahah lol

now understand xd

now i want use helm and doesntwork

so i must less than 50 lvl

[stuck steeple]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/resources/legendary-items-crafting-guide

[worn sluice]

so i must see on unique irtem with 3 legendary potential? other uniq doesnt work ye?

[stuck steeple]

1 or more

[worn sluice]

now understand about legendarty but cant put purple with 4 afix so waht wrong

and what is it

[stuck steeple]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/resources/weavers-will-uniques

[worn sluice]

is possible upgrade that item to red frame?

without potential?

[stuck steeple]

it will upgrade itself while you wear it

[worn sluice]

really ?:o

how much time?

i have same shield with red frame but no weaver will so my is better or if use him and he will stronger late?

[waxen nymph]

You have 1% chance to upgrade with a 15sec cd

[wicked monolith]

Can you make a build around aberroths command?

[stuck steeple]

I tryed that yesterday. Like a Aberroths Command DoT Autobomber Voidknight. Nice clear but very bad single target damage...

[alpine canopy]

Yes, not sure how it will survive the changes to VR in season 2 though

It relies heavily on VR and abyssal echoes for its single target DPS

[wicked monolith]

Shame. Sentinel was looking like my next character. Guess Ill just wait for patch notes to decide

[worn sluice]

who is better?

red or fierst shield when autoupgrade?

[worn sluice]

i think must take english

so weaver form 13 to 0 run ? i saw was 13 now 0

10

[turbid dome]

Look up weavers will in the game guide

But basically the number there is the number of times it will get upgraded

[worn sluice]

i see so much fun exp and look what item better ;D

[worn sluice]

that rin can be to resd frame if exp him ? or i must have same ring with weaver will ?

[turbid dome]

Weaver will can only appear on weaver uniques

Other uniques can be made legendary by putting them into a nemesis egg or if you get one with legendary potential

[worn sluice]

i got 101% block so 1% block so much ?:D

last question if see red stats from 2 shields 1 good 2 crap they can change red stats or is pernament?

i

1 stats 20% block= more dmg bash 2 crap defense resist

so def resist can change or shield for npc?

[turbid dome]

The red stats are permanent… to that instance of the shield

[worn sluice]

so npc\

[turbid dome]

Idk what you mean by npc here

Like selling it?

[worn sluice]

yes or kick on map:D

[turbid dome]

Personally I keep all the weaver uniques I get

It’s annoying af to get one with the specific rolls a build may need
