🔱┃sentinel

[turbid dome]

I’ve seen people do that

Some poor guy was farming the Lagon harby

[slate delta]

Oh noooo

[vale ravine]

i got my first WS from normal abby even lol

[slate delta]

Chaos Blade instead of WS

F

[turbid dome]

F indeed

[median monolith]

harbinger of hatreed is who I'm fighting

[slate delta]

Hey @turbid dome you seem like you have a very good grasp on the game as a whole. Can I ask you advice on what build to play next?

[turbid dome]

Sure

[proper parcel]

i have a question im doing a warpath voidnight and for my chest i need warpath plus 4 levels on titan heart but i cant get it anywhere would it be dumb to drop titan heart for now and wear a chest with t7 mana?

[slate delta]

I'm pure SAF
I've played Judgement Pala and am regearing it for Uber Abby right now (Orian's, double Red etc.)
I am currently finishing off a Devouring Orb VK Autobomber meant to speedfarm 320 Corr.

I need a build that's not a sentinel, ideally one that doesn't do the same as one of my two in a different flavor. I've thought maybe Umbral Blades Falconer, but scared of the button piano
What do you suggest?

[analog steppe]

havoc into it

[median monolith]

can I also get world splitter from the "Egg" in the Nemesis fight?

[vestal mirage]

it's really easy to get if you have havoc runes

[slate delta]

My goal is to get a better understanding of how different classes feel

[analog steppe]

not unless you shoved one in there yourself

[median monolith]

ahh ok

[analog steppe]

the egg works off normal unique drop rules, it can only drop random drops

[turbid dome]

Tbh my first suggestion to anyone new is to try out rune master as its a very unique experience for an arpg and will def feel different from sentinel

[vestal mirage]

I'm still looking for this stupid idol

[proper parcel]

so i need to havoc the chest with t7 mana and then get a lp 1 titan heart and slam it?

[turbid dome]

Falconeer also sorta fits into that field but is less interesting imo

[analog steppe]

you need to find a chest that has any t7 on it, then craft + levels to warpath and shift the t7 onto that with havoc

[slate delta]

I've seen Froze Sentinel do a really cool Mana Guide autobomber str stacker...... but that's Auto again :)
I'm playing an actual rune using Runemaster with my GF in trade, but that build will not ever reach its potential

[turbid dome]

Druid is also super fun imo, but some forms are more same-y with sentinel

[slate delta]

I've heared that ye

[turbid dome]

understandable

[turbid dome]

Honestly just pick one where the skills look cool and send it

[analog steppe]

tbf most of the build guides you will see regardless of class try to "automate" everything to either spamming one ability (plus movement tech)

[turbid dome]

Will give a warning that Lich is very very mid rn unless you want to do soul mass dot

Lich is up next for a rework as most of its things don’t play well together

• was hit very hard by the ward retention from int nerf

[analog steppe]

the ward retention nerf is overstated, the bigger nerf was in most ways that those broken classes generated ward in the first place

[turbid dome]

Yea

More so Lich was already kinda mid and was also made weaker

[slate delta]

I heared that Storm Crows has funny haha dps numbers

[turbid dome]

Bird 👍

[slate delta]

BIRD

[analog steppe]

most minion builds do (if you snapshot)

[slate delta]

I have one sitting on my screen

[turbid dome]

Nice

[slate delta]

oh

No thanks

[dense tendon]

imagine if falconers could snapshot

[slate delta]

I'd rather play yet another sentinel than snapshot

[analog steppe]

i think its a fair thing to avoid the hell out of all the snapshot builds until they are fixed

[turbid dome]

Yea

[slate delta]

Almost have a full ER VK set of gear ready without even trying lol

[turbid dome]

I just give my bird pipe bombs and it seems to work

[analog steppe]

i like playing the self-cast orb vk, it has a fun combo feel to it

[slate delta]

The one where you pull them with Volatile Reversal?

[analog steppe]

yeah

[turbid dome]

I’m planning on using the time bomb dorbs on wizard vk

[slate delta]

Sounds like you're planning a ... "Void Wizard"? haha
(sorry)

[knotty kernel]

So anyone push into 1k+ (or close) corruption, what are you playing and would you recommend? I'm playing Warpath (but was going to spec into Volca's build), just waiting on channel reduction + mana to come. I've seen people happy with judgement but was concerned it would feel alot slower... and / or maybe try a different build/spec

[turbid dome]

Exactly

[turbid dome]

Warpath should work great there

[slate delta]

Judgement is not a fast build, but a monkey could gear it for 1k corruption

[turbid dome]

Tho farming a good clothos is annoying

[slate delta]

It's also not as slow as a "true melee" would be

[quiet hearth]

oh no, retribution can proc the eye of reen effect

[turbid dome]

Oh god

[knotty kernel]

Yah I think Helm + Clothos are my current lacking parts... working on that currently

[turbid dome]

Someone stop Draven

[knotty kernel]

There a decent strat to farm a helm for channel + mana?

[slate delta]

What helm, exalted?

[turbid dome]

Imprint a similar helmet in your weaver tree

[knotty kernel]

aye

[vernal frigate]

chance to apply doom

[turbid dome]

Doom chance

[knotty kernel]

does the helm type or helm enchant matter or both?

[turbid dome]

Doom pen doesn’t matter

it does a little but you want doom for the more melee dmg

[knotty kernel]

I have the helm type... not enchant (currently)

[turbid dome]

Good question

No idea off the top of my head

Read all the text on each imprint spot

[knotty kernel]

fair enough, will analyze the text again

[quiet hearth]

now if only reflect counted as a hit I might be onto something

[turbid dome]

But if you have a good base with a different exalted affix, don’t forget about redemption/havoc runes to get the channel cost reduction affix

[slate delta]

Is Redemption good?

I feel like the chance to get a result on >1 exalted is just way too low

[turbid dome]

It’s a gamba

But a lot of affixes beats something +levels to lunge

[quiet hearth]

I need something that makes enemies attack me faster xD

[turbid dome]

[quiet hearth]

like, it REALLY stacks it well

[slate delta]

Btw, is there something I don't understand about Crab Ring?

[turbid dome]

Crab 🦀

[slate delta]

I feel like Flames of Midnight is just better no?

[turbid dome]

You have two ring slots

[dense tendon]

did you grab this

[quiet hearth]

nah Im just messing around but I would look into that honestly

[turbid dome]

But yeah one is a harby drop the other is kinda silly and gives you another minion

[quiet hearth]

the dot is a side note since this has 100% BASE crit

[turbid dome]

Their rings for different builds, mostly

[turbid dome]

Bro is criting

[slate delta]

I think you're missing where I'm coming from. I want to get swiftness and those two rings are two of three sources for that

[turbid dome]

Yes flames of midnight is better in general

Mostly cause you still have a dodge on your evade replacement

[lilac sparrow]

@turbid dome should i keep this my only source of leech or get 100% void dmg

[dense tendon]

i would use this over 2 lp flames of midnight but i cant hit my multiexalt ring crafts

[lilac sparrow]

btw if you use that

you will lose dodge roll

[turbid dome]

Leech is very good

100% increased is kinda mid given you should have like 1000% total increased damage

[dense tendon]

i just spin man

[lilac sparrow]

yeah true

3.5% is quite significant on its own

if i stack them dot together

[slate delta]

Don't be a coward and run Fingers of the Phantom Mire instead

[turbid dome]

Ye

[lament star]

should i get str or vitality for ES build ?

[slate delta]

Actually Fingers for swiftness and to block slow from the Anchor relic. 200 iq gameplay

[turbid dome]

Ideally a bit both, I like stacking vit tho

Given vit gives you %more melee void damage on vk

And a bunch of other things

[lament star]

mmmm there is a node that gives more hp per vit

[turbid dome]

Yup

[slate delta]

Str gives armour so I wouldn't go 100% on one of the two

Balance is good

[quiet hearth]

its so dumb

[sand lion]

How? Bossing, clear speed, everything? Is this the one that requires unique item so they split when hit?

[quiet hearth]

Nah, you go 100% on Vit

[turbid dome]

I normally aim for strength on my ring prefixes and vit literally everywhere I change tit

[quiet hearth]

why the % dmg scales too is beyond me

[slate delta]

Is the armour from Str so bad?

[turbid dome]

Given each point gives a vk

• 8 flat life
• 1% poison res
• 1% necrotic res
• 2 flat damage to void spells (including ES’s void rifts)
• 1 flat damage to smite (if it’s converted)
• 0.33% more melee void damage

And you can get to like 90 vit fairly easily

[junior wren]

well, yes in everything

[turbid dome]

Especially with the new 1x2 +5 vit idols

[junior wren]

it doesn't require any unique item. I did wear sierpin for a few levels, but I didn't have DEX so the split didn't happen 😄

[slate delta]

5 is a lie. It is not real

:dlcry

[turbid dome]

[slate delta]

Oh, no emojis

Sad

[vestal mirage]

please game I just want my dang idol

[sand lion]

Are you following any build or perhaps some vid for gameplay showcase?

[limber jetty]

Any gigachads able to take me by the hand and help me out with what I need to do next to transition into ES VK from judgement pally? Im lv 84, starting to farm for world splitter, in CoF. Would like someone to DM me with instructions :B

[sand lion]

I want to play throw pal soon and looking around

[junior wren]

nope, I make my own builds. No vids, I only took a screenshot after killing the first harbinger

I think they have a javelin build on maxroll

and a nova hammer throw build too, but that one was weird, they were respeccing skill points for bosses.

[tacit zealot]

I trust max roll guides with my life for diablo content but for other arpgs their guides aren't the cleanest

[tacit zealot]

You make your own builds but not loot filter?

[steady yew]

Any tips to speed farm exiled mage?

[junior wren]

yes 😄 I'm playing this season with no loot filters 😄

I should really make one

[tacit zealot]

I wish my issues was as simple as "not using loot filter"

[slate delta]

Found the perfect item to imprint on tree

[junior wren]

run the new rune prison woven echo

[steady yew]

do you have the name ?

[junior wren]

Rune Prison Complex 😄

[steady yew]

lol ty

[tacit zealot]

You only get it from killing exiles mages btw iirc

[steady yew]

y

[junior wren]

oh

[steady yew]

or ascendance

[junior wren]

that might be a problem. Well, then there are some rune mage nodes in the weaver tree

[tacit zealot]

You can ascendance woven echos??

[steady yew]

the laddle

i meant the item not echo

^^

[tacit zealot]

You can ascendance the mad alchs?

[steady yew]

i think so

[tacit zealot]

I thought you couldn't be ause it was a dedicated drop

[slate delta]

News to me

[tacit zealot]

Yee

Same

[steady yew]

ah never mind my bad

[dense tendon]

ladle drops normally too doesnt it

[steady yew]

just checked

[junior wren]

ladle is jebait anyway

[slate delta]

Normale Ladle drops, but that one is not terribly good lol

[junior wren]

wand with no spelldmg

[tacit zealot]

You want the regular ladle????

[steady yew]

no

alchemist one

[spring pollen]

Maybe i just need more practice, but is there a siggested way to avoid aberroth big slam with expanding circle while the outisde void creeps inwards towards the end of the fight?

[steady yew]

swapping to divine bolt

[ionic inlet]

Is anyone playing devour orb as a hit?

[dense tendon]

oh there's 2 of them lmao

[tacit zealot]

I also think there's different types of mages which drop their respective unique

[turbid dome]

Yeah

Alchemist Ladle is a global drop

Mad Alchemist Ladle is a exiled mage drop

[tacit zealot]

Use a regular wand for now or look into shattered cycle for more cast speed

[steady yew]

i have few 1lp one

[tacit zealot]

How much ward can you generate on your div bolt pally?

[steady yew]

just looking for future 2lp farm ways

[tacit zealot]

I have a few myself but 2lp is weaker than a regular wand for me

[steady yew]

rn without proper gear around 4/5k

without laddle

and proper slam too

[tacit zealot]

Egg the ones with no LP and try get lp then take them to farsight turtle to boost LP by rng

[quiet hearth]

we need more retaliate effects

[tacit zealot]

I'm at 8-10k no ladle atm

Cast speed is your friend for ward lol

I just need to find some great ward retention way to keep that about if I get stunned lol

[turbid dome]

Retaliate shield throw shield?

[elfin shale]

So I tested my hammer throw time rot build this morning, and it works well. Nearly phase skipped Lagon at 400ish corruption.

[vestal mirage]

IT EXISTS

[vernal frigate]

brilliant

[vestal mirage]

bad crit roll tho

[turbid dome]

Peak art

[spring pollen]

Fantastic, thank you. ANd love the art work

[orchid depot]

which one should i use 🤔

[elfin shale]

Almost certainly melee void damage

[turbid dome]

Assuming your crit capped with it, the one with flat melee void slammed on it

If not use it anyways and get crit capped

[elfin shale]

Flat damage is a lot harder to come by than most other stats

[orchid depot]

got it

[pliant jasper]

what is changed with this hotfix

[karmic flare]

Hey what do you guys imprint in the commoner's and sealed riches slots?

[silk wasp]

Sword Catcher

[elfin shale]

Do whatever your build needs

Unless you're MG

[junior wren]

the top item bases

[dense tendon]

i usually imprint high FP multi exalt items farmed at the nemesis woven echo

[junior wren]

leonine helmet and champ regalia

[orchid depot]

do i just gotta calculate my crit chance myself

[junior wren]

otherwise yeah, items with affixes I want, ideally t7 or multiple t7

[elfin shale]

I've been imprinting Atrophy so I can get a 2-3 LP one

[tacit zealot]

pso what was your div bolt pally ward retention fix

[junior wren]

nothing, I still just have Vessel

[turbid dome]

Yes the character sheet doesn’t include crit from a skills passive tree or from worldsplitter’s special modifier for flat crit

[orchid depot]

f

[junior wren]

I used Somnia helmet at some point, but then I switched back to crit helmet 🙂

[tacit zealot]

ashes or morality vs flames of midnight then??

[vernal frigate]

(Base 5% + flat % added crit) * (100% + increased crit chance%) to calculate

[ionic inlet]

You guys think it's possible to make this armor work for void damage with this new champion affix?

[junior wren]

ashes is a good source too, but more for caster and less for melee divine bolter

[tacit zealot]

im caster lol

~https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/QWeb9EDo

current setup

8-10k ward is decent but one single stun/degen and poof its all gone haha

[junior wren]

that's because you have no DR

[tacit zealot]

yet

need at least a 3lp blood grippers

[waxen nymph]

Not really because the Fire Aura duration is like 3 or 4 sec
So you can have a max or 3 or 4 stacks. Not a lot of dmg

[tacit zealot]

so i can almost guarentee the cast/ward affix

[junior wren]

I was hovering around 70% armor before I equipped a shield

30% is really low, you're paper thin 🙂

[tacit zealot]

not with 10k ward lol only becomes an issue when doing boss's/fateweavers lol

[junior wren]

? armor becomes an issue?

oh I get it now

[tacit zealot]

i get over 200% cast speed (230 at peak i think)

[elfin shale]

At best you can get 8 stacks by using Ignafar's in offhand, which is 400% damage. That's not nothing though.

[vernal frigate]

back for round 2........

[junior wren]

I would throw away exanguinous and equip high armor.

[tacit zealot]

thinking blood grippers for the DR/base crit or frostbite shackles

[ionic inlet]

Hmm I thought it was like 6-8 seconds

[turbid dome]

🫡

[elfin shale]

It's 4

[tacit zealot]

30% extra cast speed on potion use and i go from like 1.1 idle ward to 2.3k using both

[junior wren]

you will get to 10k ward anyway, because you have 1600 inc healing lol 😄

[tacit zealot]

can only generate to around 7-8k ward but both on i push to 10k

[waxen nymph]

Engi!!

[turbid dome]

Vlad!

[elfin shale]

Now, I bet you could stack some crazy % void damage as a mage, but I forget what skills they can convert to void. I think it's all with uniques.

[tacit zealot]

will be more lol my idol rolls are around 20% lower than the max roll XD

[waxen nymph]

Can I ask you a favour?
I am not home and I had an idea. But can't test one interaction 👉👈

[ionic inlet]

Sad, would make that affix interesting.

[junior wren]

fun fact. Equip Sunforged Cuirass. Yes, the set item 😄

[elfin shale]

It is interesting, just not for Sentinel

[junior wren]

you go from 30% to 52% armor DR instantly

[tacit zealot]

i dont need DR i need more ward hahahahha

[ionic inlet]

Yeah that's the thing, works on a spellblade that hits a lot but then you have basically no void spell to use it on, and you're melee etc

[vapid badge]

Fit check

post your sentinel's fit

[tacit zealot]

no mtx = no support = fit check bad

[junior wren]

you need DR so that your ward doesn't go POOF in one hit on those bosses

[elfin shale]

Everybody needs DR. It is the thing that separates endgame builds from so-so ones

[vapid badge]

the armor and weapons look good in this game

[elfin shale]

Especially dot dr

[tacit zealot]

i know lol i know im just joshing around i need to get those DR gloves in a 3lp minimum before i can change the body armor but that was my plan

[junior wren]

what are you talking about 😄

[tacit zealot]

exactly what i typed lol

dunno how i lost you so quickly

[junior wren]

your gloves could also use an item base upgrade, but no, you definitely don't need some 3lp

[elfin shale]

If one were to ditch the forgotten knight set and go for something else for time rot, what would you run?

[junior wren]

you can swap the chest right away 😄

[steady yew]

can you send me your planner to see what i'm missing ? also curious on what wand you use

[desert lodge]

i have 79% Dr and 55% mitigation on 99% block and still get pushed to endurance threshhold with multiple champions on screen. leech keeps me alive

[turbid dome]

I need more void themed mtx

[tacit zealot]

im gonna use those DR gloves with the reflect mana/base crit but need 3lp to try guarentee the ward affix and the cast speed

[junior wren]

that's a future goal, but right now you can swap the chest 😄

[tacit zealot]

~https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/QWeb9EDo

its 30% more cast speed which is what enables me to keep 8-10k ward if no degen/stun

[waxen nymph]

How is Single Target Dmg?

[junior wren]

I mean, it's your build, so pick what you prefer 😛

[elfin shale]

Think I found an option: dex stack black blade of chaos

[junior wren]

I would have never picked 30 cast speed after potion over a 700+ armor body armor

[tacit zealot]

not the greatest but not a slog by any means

[tacit zealot]

ive been using it since about level 30 lol i got it before i got the ward gloves and not really bothered looking for something else atm till i can get the ward affix and cast speed on a unique glove

was gonna be hands of judgement for the attunement and fire pen lol

[tacit zealot]

also my passives arent final i just havent bothered going through it again

[elfin shale]

Y'know I haven't asked for feedback. This build is pushing corruption just fine so far, but I have a few weak pieces. Any suggestions on what to target? https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/owxw8ZpA

[crude matrix]

Void Knight, Level 96

[elfin shale]

Right now I'm at ~400. Next on my agenda is to get a better Atrophy (higher LP)

[tacit zealot]

33% armor

no DR from body as you're not using 2h

[elfin shale]

I know - I really wanted that affix and had it on an even worse chest piece

Was thinking of targeting black blade of chaos and dex stacking to swap to 2h, but I'd need a lot of dex to outdo the forgotten knight set

[tacit zealot]

im not really a VK/FG player so outside of those im done with suggestions hahaha

[vale ravine]

i mean, just get a null portent

[elfin shale]

True yeah. Need 1 LP at least for time rot chance though, soooo

[vale ravine]

it's kinda common if you can reliably do abby

[tacit zealot]

not gonna get it by chatting here hahaha

[elfin shale]

I'm working lol

[tacit zealot]

skill issue then

[elfin shale]

And when my wife is home we end up playing Sims 😭 (not actually upset, it's fun)

[tacit zealot]

why would you be upset? sims is great

[elfin shale]

Bc I don't get as much LE farm time

But again, not actually upset

[tacit zealot]

imo wife time is more important lol

[quiet hearth]

Not upset just herba glebben

[tacit zealot]

also the cleanse is great since i stack ign on myself for more spell damage i cant run something like aura cleanse because it activates often where for now with body if i get a few stacks of degen/dot i can insta cleanse it

[junior wren]

that's your belt, but I was telling you to swap body armor

😼

[tacit zealot]

what i mean is it pairs well together i get a cleanse and 30% cast speed lol

not saying its BIS but when i dont use both im at 7-8k ward max

[junior wren]

that's great. DR is still greater tho 👀

[tacit zealot]

if you wanted to focus DR then sure but i wanna focus ward lol

[junior wren]

Ward and DR works in tandem

[vale ravine]

what does 30% cast speed even do for you. your melee and throwing will still remain at 45-45% no?

[tacit zealot]

yes and thats the normal build guides suggest but im not doing that i wanna just push primarily ward

[tacit zealot]

im a caster

[vale ravine]

orb is auto, hammer is throwing?

[tacit zealot]

faster i can attack faster ward stacks and ffaster i can top it up when i get stunned

[tacit zealot]

what build do you think i am lol

[junior wren]

this sentinel brother plays a divine bolt pally

[vale ravine]

oh

wrong link lol

[tacit zealot]

only XD

[vestal mirage]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS finally

just need to fix the roll on my 2nd one and I'm big chilling

[tacit zealot]

deffo better than your original one haha

[junior wren]

btw you're missing +1 divine bolt on pally tree 😄

[elfin shale]

Looks like you were looking at mine. Cast speed scales time rot.

[tacit zealot]

i know lol i also dont have all bolts in healing hands either

[vale ravine]

your lowest speed from atk throw and cast scales time rot

[tacit zealot]

more bolts doesnt do anything for single target 3 is the max i throw out even with all points into both div bolts nodes

its only if theres multiple enemies you get more bolts

[elfin shale]

Yep, and all 3 are at 45%

[junior wren]

but you throw out 2 now

[tacit zealot]

nope 3. dont ask me how or why but for bosses/harbys its always 3

[junior wren]

o.O

[tacit zealot]

not in game rn to show

[vale ravine]

yeye just meshed the two discussion together, i had your planner open and i was wondering why would you want 30% cast speed 😄

[elfin shale]

Ohh got it

[tacit zealot]

ik im also confused how but i havent really tested it much as this setup rn works fine for clear i just know the more points i put in doesnt change the single target amount its when theres multiple enemies i get a wave of bolts

passives need a complete redo though

[elfin shale]

I need to pick up 20% cast speed on my gloves so I can match the attack speed I get from abyssal echoes

[tacit zealot]

took me forever to get t7 cast speed

got 3 t7 healing hands helms before a single cast speed gloves and when i dropped them it was max roll XD

[elfin shale]

With that + anomaly time bubble that multiplier would actually be 85% not 45%

Technically I guess now it's 65%

[tacit zealot]

yeah ill just smile and wave to pretend i know wtf you're on about haha

[elfin shale]

Time rot scales off the lowest of melee, throwing, and cast speed

I can get the lowest of those up to 65%

Which is cast speed

[tacit zealot]

so you dont want to attack fast?

[elfin shale]

Doesn't really help much since you can only have 12 stacks

[tacit zealot]

thats another reason why i need max cast speed on my div bolts pally lol i self ignite to convert that to flat spell damage but atm i get 10-12 ignites and can be a max of 20

i get up to 230% cast speed with buffs/potion and still not enough lol

[elfin shale]

They changed ignite to 20 max?

[elfin shale]

Oh

[tacit zealot]

sites weird with screencutting

[quiet hearth]

I gotta try out a divine bolt build, if there is only one enemy, do the divine bolts always target them?

[tacit zealot]

bolts auto target

[simple shadow]

did they patch the overleech exploit with experimental gloves

[tacit zealot]

you never need to aim

[vale ravine]

do you rly need termination and future focus in VR? could pick up frenzyi nstead

[quiet hearth]

not what I asked but that still answers it lol

[tacit zealot]

yes it is what you asked just worded differently than you wanted

[quiet hearth]

Not quite but ty regardless

[tacit zealot]

did you mean if theres multiple does it focus that one only?

[elfin shale]

I like future focus for speed, but you're right, that would be good

[solar vale]

Can I farm Clotho's needle's by running a lostwood folly, killing Clotho, dying, and repeating the same node?

[vale ravine]

there is also an experimental affix on boots, think would be worthwhile for a TR build

[elfin shale]

Yeah I was just thinking that

[quiet hearth]

No, I should have been more succinct there, I wanted to make sure it wasnt a situation of must target another creature

[tacit zealot]

its auto targeting you have 0 control who you attack

its range based

[elfin shale]

The most unfortunate thing about this build though is that hammer throw using a controller throws a hammer 45 degrees upward into nothingness

[quiet hearth]

Im aware of this, the issue was I have not played the skill and didnt now if it HAD to target another creature different from the initial hit

[elfin shale]

Had to switch back to mouse and keyboard

[vale ravine]

i mean th most unfortunate thing about this build is that it has hammer throw in it ☠️

[junior wren]

actually, healing hands needs to target - and heal - SOMETHING that's friendly to you, including you

[desert lodge]

i did not like the wasd implementation

[tacit zealot]

no thats what im saying you CANT target an enemy the divine bolts only proc when you heal yourself so you constantly need to be low health its the healing hands itself which is the targetable but you can select homeward node to have it always cast on you and the bolts still fire

[elfin shale]

The only way to get a higher damage multiplier for time rot is if you spin for a really long time

[junior wren]

this mechanic is kinda forgotten because everyone either uses homeward to autotarget self, or seraph blade / chariot which autoheals you

[desert lodge]

but i've been using kb/m for 20 years so it makes sense

[velvet swallow]

Hey guys! 👋

I've been playing a Rive Void Knight so far and I'm really enjoying myself with the build. Now I've seen people go either Warpath(tried it and it was not my cup of tea), and others try Erasing Strike, which to me looks like a lot of fun (apart from the shaking screen...), and I've been meaning to try it out.

Does Erasing Strike out perform Rive or is it the opposite? I have invested my gear heavily into Rive which is why I ask if it's worth it?

TL;DR Which VK build is overall better, Rive or Erasing Strike?

[junior wren]

so I guess the answer is that you must always target yourself

[tacit zealot]

i dont actually think id play HH as much if there wasnt homeward lol

[junior wren]

I was levelling with HH without homeward and it wasn't very different from the standard, you just need to keep cursor closer to your character

[tacit zealot]

my love for it goes back to when you could generate over 100k ward lol

[vale ravine]

how much you are getting from ricochet?

[tacit zealot]

i use lunge so my cursor is always at edge of screen

[elfin shale]

1.8

[vernal frigate]

overall ES, you can disable screenshake

[vale ravine]

like in +80% more damage from 8 extra projectiles or +180% more from 18?

[elfin shale]

It's a 1.8 multiplier, or 80% more damage

[quiet hearth]

Im not talking about HH, and not what Im asking but ty anyway

[tacit zealot]

so you'd be melee div bolts?

[elfin shale]

I might drop it down to 1.4 by taking the node to make them spin around you. That would make it easier to hit with it and probably fix controller issues

[vale ravine]

so, 7.2X total right?

[elfin shale]

35% chance to deal double damage

[tacit zealot]

maybe reword your question then as ive tried answering what i thought you're asking and so did someone else but hasnt been the answer you want

[vale ravine]

i c

[elfin shale]

Since the highest-damage dots override the rest, you just hit them a bunch rapidly

[velvet swallow]

Ok cool cause the shaking screen gave me migraine lol. What are the pros and cons with ES in comparison to Rive?

More damage I assume, but I've also read horror stories about it being a very mana hungry ability, that true?

If you have any good guide to recommend I'm all ears 🙂

[vernal frigate]

yeah its very mana hungry but theres a node that solves that, + guaranteed t7 mana slams on everything makes it easy

more aoe/clear than rive

[velvet swallow]

Oof I'm gonna have to reinvest gear I've spent billions on then 😦

[vernal frigate]

i wouldnt swap if you like rive though

fun > everything

[velvet swallow]

Yes true.

[vale ravine]

ye dont think either there is anything better out there then besides WP, dorb being comparable but not necessairly less clunky lol

[elfin shale]

I was using erasing strike. Arguably it's less clunky since it had a 8.4 mult with AE and vengeance, and it tended to apply all its needed stacks at once.

[analog steppe]

chance to deal double damage does NOT apply to timerot

[elfin shale]

Really?

[faint scarab]

whats the quickest way to farm a specific affix? i need "Chance To Bleed If Wielding An Axe" so i can glyph of chaos it away

[elfin shale]

Oh shit it does say hits

[faint scarab]

i can only think of gambling sentinel helms/chests

at the gambler

but reloading the area everytime takes ages

[vernal frigate]

i would make a new character if you have invested that much

[vale ravine]

ye that's what i was looking at but then your clunk comes from needing to apply all external buffs for one big bonk

[vernal frigate]

the only thing that takes time is levellling but lostwood folly + shrine method is too op

[analog steppe]

highest time rot multiplier in the game comes from devouring orb all-consuming, hammers and smite also work but are slightly lower (though less combo requiring)

[solid sphinx]

what's the easiest sentinel build for uber abberoth? Is it erasure strike? I'm currently warpath but would like to start tailoring my loot filter for a swap to get the kill.

[elfin shale]

ES is significantly higher than dorb all-consuming.

Especially if you have penetration elsewhere

[faint scarab]

wait im dumb theres a tiny "refresh" button in the top left of gambler lol

[vale ravine]

define easy. fast kill playing mechanics, or slower kill facetanking everything

[velvet swallow]

Yeah like, I have; Immortal Vise, Shattered Worlds, Nihilis etc. etc. and I'm not gonna make a new Void Knight.

So I have a Paladin which I can play, I tried Judgement and it was kinda fun, I'd like to try something else though for my Paladin, any build suggestions?

[solid sphinx]

most likely to succeed requiring less skill mechanics and not insane to gear (LP2 on common stuff / LP1 on rare stuff)

[vale ravine]

then judgement pally

[elfin shale]

Unless, does the damage mult from all-consuming also apply to void rifts?

[solid sphinx]

maxroll guide good for that or no?

[analog steppe]

subskills gain the mores of the skill that create them so they should apply to the rifts

[vale ravine]

ye mroll judge guide is prettyo kay imo

[elfin shale]

I thought they usually didn't?

[analog steppe]

how did you think subskills work?

[vale ravine]

only change i did is speccing cleanse in judge instead of more area but otherwise just built it and facerolled abby with it

[analog steppe]

like honestly subskills would be trash if they didnt inherit the mores from their parent skill

[solid sphinx]

Erasure Strike harder mechanically I assume, other issues with it?

the upside for ES is I have a lot of the gear already but i don't mind adding judgment stuff to my filter

[elfin shale]

A whole lot of subskills didn't receive multipliers from parents in earlier development. This is the first time I have played since 1.0

Or I thought that was the case

[vale ravine]

you need to be able to dodge some stuff for 2-4 miuntes, but if you think you can manage that it is definitely a better all arounder build. also needs more investment gear farming wise

[solid sphinx]

i'd much rather respec than roll another character so i'll probably try both

[vale ravine]

with judge you are literally standing in the middle of 15 void puddles, tank the tri flail attack and just generally dont give af

[solid sphinx]

haha awesome

[vale ravine]

takes like 5-6 minutes to kill tho, and signifcantly worse for farming echoes

[solid sphinx]

can i use maxroll gear suggestions?

[elfin shale]

So I guess if subskills inherit multipliers I need to revisit a bunch of stuff lol

[solid sphinx]

yea i'll just respec back and forth if i really care

[vale ravine]

ye thats what i did, farmed on ES, ubered on judge

[vernal frigate]

no idea sorry, ik theres shield rush and javs for pally other than judgement

[analog steppe]

the only modifiers that aren't inherited are conditional based on enemy status ones (ie. Deals More Damage to Ignited enemies)

[elfin shale]

Interesting. Anyhow I think with that in mind, Giant Splitter is a contender here for ease of use.

[desert lodge]

can manifested armor block with a shield

[elfin shale]

6x3.25x1.4=27.3 multiplier, 35.1 if using 2h. Just have to get enough time rot chance that you only have to do that once.

[ionic inlet]

Wait void bolt from Volatile Reversal scales of int and gets flat dmg from vit?

[vestal mirage]

please game let me hit the phys dam

gl me

wait should I do the harbinger thing

to try and upgrade it more?

[vernal frigate]

it only upgrades teh base type

[vestal mirage]

oh

YOLO

oof

[desert lodge]

funny how increased stun chance exists and no one ever wants it

it's just there to brick legendaries

[vestal mirage]

to be fair event does give me an insane amount of stun already

I wonder if I just perma stun normal abby now

[obsidian thicket]

How does desent on smite work with the idol to auto cast smite ?

As in it says when you directly cast smite it moves you. So I assume smites trigger via idol don't move you. But do you still get the cooldown downside ?

[hazy glacier]

any VK autobombers here who kill uber abby savely, and can link me their build?

[vestal mirage]

lmfao

I can

1 minute of abby standing there and taking it

[hazy glacier]

congrats, yet neither vk nor autobomber ☺️

[vestal mirage]

that's normal. uber has like 5x the resistance to cc

[spring pollen]

Lol nice Drew 🙂 Mind sharing your updated planner?

Im stunning harbingers but not able to get abby yet lol

[quiet hearth]

If forgot how cancerous that fight is

[vestal mirage]

sure. only thing I've really changed is my idols and shield

[vestal mirage]

wtf

[spring pollen]

Awesome, ty

[quiet hearth]

beef

[vestal mirage]

imagine once I get my hands on those uber gloves

I'll be unkillable

[quiet hearth]

I mean, it's the best way to fight him, I hate the boss design, well the fights at least, just constant spam

[vestal mirage]

I might try again

surely it goes better this time

[hybrid turtle]

Dang triple exalted chest with 110 mana, 30% mana, 30% life

[vestal mirage]

damn

[hybrid turtle]

That's the kind of stuff you'd want for ES, right?

It's on the good base too

[vale ravine]

well, except you basically need +4 ES insted one of the mana prefixes

[cerulean sorrel]

i got 506 mana rn warpath if i try to get to like 1k will it make a great difference in the dps?

[peak zodiac]

which one gang (warpath vk)

[cerulean sorrel]

clothos

[golden dove]

surely we get 1lp shattered right

[neon tusk]

what mod should i be prioritising on a siphon of anguish

[golden dove]

28 more to lay down..

[neon tusk]

is it void pen with doom?

[golden dove]

leech and void pen

[neon tusk]

does the % matter with leech when u do so much dmg

[golden dove]

not really

thats just what i look at lol

and depends on passive tree

but void pen is bigly

[neon tusk]

ye

[golden dove]

should i roll these for something else or is crit BiS

for ES

[vale ravine]

on what build void pen with doom is big

[sand wolf]

spinning hammers builds were popular for a long time, was there ever a way to make hammers autocast? like without using the skill and interrupting character movement?

[sand wolf]

If for sale - probably keep like this, if for yourself - depends if you need crit chance from those or not :)

[golden dove]

ES and warpath void convert

with the shattered chains

[peak zodiac]

i'd stick with that since it's t7, ms and dmg t7 might be better but may take forever

[vale ravine]

why would doom damage be big on an ES build

[golden dove]

doom adds damage

oh wait

xd

[sand wolf]

no cap for more damage per stack? jeeesus

[vale ravine]

waiting for the realization 😄

[golden dove]

thank you sir

[golden dove]

my life is a lie

[vale ravine]

so ye, what you actually care about is % chance to apply doom

[golden dove]

this guy sentinels, listen to him. Im a shaman spy

[patent cave]

is 21 the max on the needle?

[sand wolf]

i mean warpath is probably the best DOT applier in the game so (one of the highest hitrate)

[vale ravine]

I guess, i def wouldnt use a siphon with less than 25% on ES tho

[golden dove]

25 void pen yeah

[vale ravine]

chance to apply doom

[faint scarab]

none because it affects the small bit of dmg that doom does

not the increased melee

[vale ravine]

i mean, I know that 😄

was trying to be educational lol

[faint scarab]

oh

[limber jetty]

Can anyone help me with a little guide on what to do to farm the gear I need for ES VK? Im currently lv 85 judgement paladin. Did empowered Black Sun twice, no WS drops but I got the woven echo Collapsing something. How should I go about things now, and what gear should I focus on after dropping WS? I have a 1 LP titan heart

Im on CoF btw

[vale ravine]

climb corruption, mana on gloves, mana on helm, mana on anchor, 2 LP siphon, 1 LP shattered chains, kill normal abby, 1 LP well rolled nihilis, 1LP midnight, 1 LP well rolled seed

keep farming for higher LPs better rolls

[limber jetty]

corruption is timeline specific right? Should I focus farm black sun?

[vale ravine]

corruption is basically freely transferable

[limber jetty]

do echoes + glyph of envy -> reach 800 stability -> fight the boss -> repeat until 4 gazes and then kill the shade... repeat?

[vale ravine]

i would spam envy and get my blessings at the same time after the harbinger quest line

[limber jetty]

hmm I havent completed the harbies

[vale ravine]

but ye if you super want WS then do it in BS

[limber jetty]

after reaching empowered monos I only did 1 other timeline and then 2x black sun

[vale ravine]

just farming BS at low corruption is kinda just wasting time

[faint scarab]

2 gazes

[limber jetty]

why is that? I thought the limit was 4

[faint scarab]

diminishing returns

[limber jetty]

kk gotcha

[vale ravine]

thats not how it works anymore tho

[limber jetty]

so I should do timelines I've never completed before to farm blessings and increase corruption then go back to BS?

[faint scarab]

oh

[vale ravine]

flat corruption per gaze up to 4, 52 total I think?

[limber jetty]

thats what I read last night

in game

[vale ravine]

you need to do that anyway for harbies

[limber jetty]

btw what should I focus on prophecies?

can prophecies help me farm WS?

[grizzled lake]

does anyone have good weaver tree strategies? I followed one for Havoc Rune farming from reddit but it leaves a lot to luck

[vale ravine]

chaining uber abby 😄

think my best is 4 havocs

[vestal mirage]

I think the balls on abby are what frustrate me the most

they're so obnoxious

[hybrid turtle]

They are

[sleek zealot]

The big thing is keeping puddles out of the left of the center

it makes the last bit of the fight a nightmare

Unless you're paladin I guess

[dreamy sun]

Near the start of the last phase he drops a fire puddle and you can use that to clean up the arena

[sleek zealot]

Yeah, I'd sometimes just try to Rahyeh charge to get there but it's hit or miss

[vale ravine]

or not, it's not on a strict timer unfortunately

[worldly flame]

Is there a good loot filter for VK timerot warpath? I googled and saw Casual sentinel, vk endgame, and then some random decent looking filters but last updated during beta

[sleek zealot]

Yeah, the timer is rough as hell for puddle cleanses sometimes

and it's happening during other mechanics

[vestal mirage]

I'm playing a zdps build so this fight is loooong

so if I get too many puddles I'm boned

and my ms is low

[vale ravine]

on uber?

[vestal mirage]

ye

[granite meteor]

what build

[vale ravine]

ye honestly it's not designed for ZDPS builds

[dreamy sun]

Wudijo had like a 15 minute kill lol

Just gotta play extra carefully if you don't do damage

[vale ravine]

i mean if you like cbt go ahead i aint stopping you 😄

[grizzled lake]

That's not exactly an strategy, more like brute forcing lol 😄

[sleek zealot]

bruh, on my kill realizing I had to do a second time shatter slam in my final phase freaked me out so bad

[obsidian thicket]

Hey is hammer VK a thing ?

Just noticed a node to add a void dmg to it. So can do hammer + cast smite on hammer hit idol and convert both to void dmg.

[sleek zealot]

Yeah, Last Epoch is open enough to support that if you want to play that way

[vapid badge]

is this good enopugh to switch to warpath? or wait for a good world splitter drop and go directly erasing strike?

[vestal mirage]

bash pov

[vapid badge]

Thank you friend

[dense tendon]

that's a terrible clotho's but you dont actually need a good one

[slate delta]

Oof

Brutal

[vestal mirage]

I canceled his first slam in that clip lmao

first time doing that on uber

[golden dove]

neat

[slate delta]

Jesus christ

[dense tendon]

unethical delete it

[golden dove]

understood

[slate delta]

Yea also rolls are bad. Might aswell yeet

[golden dove]

ill just vendor gotta be a few k

[vale ravine]

that's um... jackpot category

[slate delta]

2LP is 1/236 for Shattered Worlds

That's honestly pretty... realistic

[dense tendon]

what about 2 lp and 10 dr

[vale ravine]

and 4% crit

[slate delta]

All things considered

[vestal mirage]

I will kill this damn boss on my basher but it might be a 20+ minute kill at this rate

[golden dove]

time to grind forever finding the perfect slam

what do i want? mana andddd

health or crit multi maybe

[vale ravine]

HP / crit multi / void damage, dealer's choice

[golden dove]

golly i have a lot of exalts to find

rings, helms, axes

relic now lol

[quiet hearth]

maybe I should roll a spellblade, I havent played a tryhard build in awhile

[dense tendon]

maybe you get a crit and it becomes 3 lp

[vale ravine]

what's tryhard for you 😄

[quiet hearth]

spellblade is made out of tissue paper, so I actually have to pay attention in melee xD

Sent has spoiled me

[vale ravine]

ah ye for sure

[quiet hearth]

Vengeance has taught me very bad habits

[ionic inlet]

help me not brick this

[vale ravine]

blood mage instead of maehlin?

[ionic inlet]

Hm that's not a bad idea

[dense tendon]

you can either try to remove void damage or havoc t3 onto it and despair
probably brick either way

oh you can remove the mana also it's fine

[eager lily]

does anyone know the best way to farm the flames of midnight ring?

[twilit granite]

so yolo a removal?

[dense tendon]

i would despair a prefix i think

wait do you have an imprint of a similar item

[twilit granite]

this is my current imprint

[hybrid turtle]

Aight, almost javadin o clock

[twilit granite]

posted. I get a lil gunshy

[dense tendon]

ok apparently glyph of despair is 34.5% to succeeed here

[twilit granite]

wait hold up. Is there a calculator I dont know about

[quiet hearth]

I forgot how spellblade has really weird dex scaling on some of it's skills

[dense tendon]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/seal-chance

[twilit granite]

can you slam an item with a seal on it?

[dense tendon]

ye the sealed affix doesnt do anything on slams

[twilit granite]

ok. I figured it couldnt be passed on but I wanted to make sure that i'd still be able TO slam it

[faint scarab]

"Chance to bleed while wielding an axe" doesnt exist

im convinced

[golden dove]

Todays spoils, shout out @versed flume for help

[granite meteor]

10 hours of play and i havent seen a single imprinted item drop. bad luck? or expected? (MG)

[dense tendon]

they are probably dropping and getting filtered

[granite meteor]

ok, i was under the impression that if i had a ring in there with a T7 affix, it would increase the chance of a ring dropping with that same T7 affix. is that not the case?

[faint scarab]

what corruption level

[kind mantle]

I:ve got no filter and never had an imprint drop

[granite meteor]

900

[faint scarab]

oh

[faint scarab]

i dont think so

i think it makes the same type of item drop more frequently

not the affix

[granite meteor]

oh.

[dense tendon]

you can get the exact same affix but it's a pretty low chance

[hybrid turtle]

yeah

[worldly flame]

Best loot filter for vk timerot warpath? (Lvl 66)

[loud solstice]

Can I farm Clotho's needle's by running a lostwood folly, killing Clotho, dying, and repeating the same node?❔ 🤔

[ionic inlet]

Ehm probably? 😄

[loud solstice]

done it thrice in 400+ corruption and bosses in lostwood folly ddnt drop any uniques after i respawned

[feral horizon]

Make sure you're actually doing what's required also.
For example, the very left imprint slot makes champions sometimes drop the items.
But if your tree doesn't really increase champions, well then you'll probably not see too many items like the imprinted one.
check your other slots for what to focus on

[dense tendon]

sounds like you already know the answer then tbh

[faint scarab]

their drop rates plummet

its more worthwhile to put folly in both imprint slots in the weaver tree

and keep buying more follys from the faction

[vale ravine]

i think they prob added refarm protection to most of the woven echoes, if you die in the nemesis tower it also removes all of the neme encounters

[vestal mirage]

ooo

might have to use this on an alt build or something

[ionic inlet]

Hahaha they probably thought about that

I think you can kill it, grab portal and then do it again?

[prisma salmon]

For ES build with 1 LP uber gloves(30% melee att speed) and 1LP uber relic which should be prioritised to slam on relic crit multi or mana? Having worst rolls of my life with mana at 653 with low ish regen

[faint scarab]

any way to farm for specific affix shards? i need Chance To Bleed If Wielding An Axe, 400 corruption atm and literally cant find a single one

has anyone got the hidden pro method

[vale ravine]

def mana

on both actually with that amount

[dense tendon]

use runes of discovery on the base that can roll it
many many times

[prisma salmon]

depends but you could recolor items(blues/yellows etc) that has the affix with something that indicates you should shatter/rune of removal it

loot filter is a great friend if not rolling dice with runes of disc 😄

[faint scarab]

i just need a single shard

to glyph of chaos it

[faint scarab]

wait

actually real

thanks

this is actually the method

go to gambler to get bases then we finally use runes of discover

and can also glyph of chaos for the attributes that i have a million shards for to save time there

youre the goat

[dense tendon]

are you gonna hit the removal though

[faint scarab]

i did 😎

[turbid dome]

[severe narwhal]

does hammer throw disintegrating aura stack?

[molten aspen]

I wish there was a good unique helmet for judgement paladin

[turbid dome]

Probably not? I’d go test it on the training dummies

[analog steppe]

i don't see why it wouldn't

fissures stack from smite, so why would this be any different?

[turbid dome]

If it’s just damage then yeah it should stack

Idk why but it think it applies a debuff or something

I’m probs wrong

[granite meteor]

i have 3004 HP, so I'm guessing I need a bit more for Uber Abby? over kill damage of 118

[vale ravine]

which build

[granite meteor]

judgement pally

[vale ravine]

were you standing in a lot of pools?

[granite meteor]

like 1-2

[vale ravine]

i would say you could be missing something then causei was comfily tanking this at 2800-3k HP

unless there was a lot of other stuff going on (and ofc assuming you are attacking)

[granite meteor]

if you have a sec, could you take a quick look? i know there are still improvements to be made, but this is where i'm at.

[vale ravine]

so ye that's an issue

your null portent gives max DR at 115% resistances

even with HA you are nto reaching that, not to mention when it is down

[granite meteor]

sorry i mispoke

97% is with HA up

i mean down

asfdjskadlfjsdklf

its 145% when HA is up

[faint scarab]

yeah alright

[vale ravine]

that's somwehwat better but even then, that's 8.5% ele DR you are missing when it is on CD

[alpine canopy]

acceptable

[granite meteor]

where do you fill in resists? on your small idols?

and are there certain resists i should be looking to get to 115% for in particular for uber abby ?

[faint scarab]

115?

[granite meteor]

115% resists for null portent

[faint scarab]

oh

[vale ravine]

were you in town tho when the screenshot was taken or inside the monolith?

there are some stuff only triggering in echoes

[granite meteor]

during the Abby fight

[vale ravine]

i have this but honestly not sure where im getting all of it from lol

okay i have one 14% all ele roll I guess

aynway, ye 115 ele and phys res i would shoot for before HA. then some more armor

[faint scarab]

maybe idols

[vale ravine]

have 6900 baseline and didnt really invest into it

rest looks kinda okay

[desert lodge]

i'd love a way to see where res comes from

because i have hover over every item, idol, passive and blessing to see

[vale ravine]

okay, so, holy aurea gives some by having it, and then it also gives some when you activate
i mean aim for 115% with only the passive portion

i have 82% ele in town, 130% with HA passive, 178% with HA active

6950 armor passivle before throne of ambition, but that gets multiplied to 10k+ in fight. those DRs add up

[neon tusk]

12 str or 50% void dmg on ring, are these both equivalent for warpath?

[dense tendon]

12 str is 48% damage and 48% armor

[severe narwhal]

i dont have it, thats why im asking

[vale ravine]

ye you are def missing STR

which does not look like a lot at first but remember throne is a multiplier

[snow marsh]

Can I Leg craft Anchor of Obl with a Mage Relic?

[neon tusk]

yes

[snow marsh]

Ty

For Nihilis, better low Mana roll with +2 skill or high mana roll with +1 skills? Warpath build

[neon tusk]

I had this situation, farmed 10 lp1 nihilis and reroll/sacrificed them to get this

[snow marsh]

Sacrificing always improve?

[dense tendon]

god no

[snow marsh]

Gonna google that thanks

[neon tusk]

ive had good success but not guaranteed, hence 10 sacrifices

[quiet hearth]

ive always wanted to use this thing but could never figure out something

[sand wolf]

is there a way to Riposte without having to get hit i beg pls say yes

[quiet hearth]

nope

[ionic inlet]

Wow void bolts are so cool, feels really nice

[sand wolf]

How do i hit myslef ? :D

[ionic inlet]

For what?

[severe narwhal]

so what weapon do you wanna use for hammer throw?

it seems like theres nothing that works for it

like its all spell or melee damage

[neon tusk]

sceptres are half melee half spell

[sand wolf]

to trigger Riposte

[sand wolf]

if you want hammer throw as your main hit damage you probably want all the base throwing damage you can get
and for weapons just stat sticks, either Sceptre/Mace + Sword/Axe for last base sentinel passives or one of those as a dagger instead for base non-type crit chance

[turbid dome]

you can get a metric ton of necrotic res with deal seal on lich

[ionic inlet]

Have to pray the monster or boss hits you 🛡️

[sand wolf]

maybe if you manage to stack on those as well

But the game doesnt have any Hammer-throw specific items unfortunately, so mostly its used as a dot delivery

[neon tusk]

does it matter if i put lp1 or lp2 in turtle if i want lp 3

[sand wolf]

still gonna get 0, so no :D

[spring pollen]

Is shattered world relic only from uber?

[neon tusk]

i got 2 full stashes of dead anguishes

[sand wolf]

where did you hear its only from uber

[neon tusk]

its uber only

[spring pollen]

I’m asking because I don’t know lol

[sand wolf]

lastepochtools.com

[sand gorge]

So how does the sacrificing thing work? You have 2 to improve one?

[ionic inlet]

Plenty of options and depends on build, spear if you're using javelin and +level to skills or something that gives increased phys, crit etc.
If only Nest of Nightmares would work on spiral

[foggy junco]

My hands are shaking so much I could barely take this screengrab, that's uber abby down. Genuinely one of the hardest things I've done in a game.

[hybrid turtle]

Noice

You got a relic too!

[sand gorge]

Gz!!

[turbid dome]

🎉

[foggy junco]

That was so hard 😂 I hope the gloves make it a bit easier as people say.

[sand wolf]

how did you manage to bring Javelin and melee crit item into a Hammer question

[foggy junco]

Nice

[sand gorge]

Dope!

[twilit valley]

Turtle

[sand gorge]

😂

[dense tendon]

you sacrifice one to reroll another with the same lp or weavers will
1 affix on a legendary = 1 lp
1 tier = 1 weavers will

[sand gorge]

I’ve bricked so many items rheee

In turtle

Interesting I have a to of 3 lp anguish maybe I try that

[ionic inlet]

Nest of nightmares? If only it would work, would be sick
Hammer throw is old and have many builds

[sand gorge]

I can’t find anything to imprint on the 3 lp ones

[neon tusk]

how long did the fight take and how many attempts

[foggy junco]

Fight took about 4-5 minutes, I honestly couldn't tell you. I've been at this for hours, I'd say 100 easy.

[neon tusk]

100+ attempts?

[foggy junco]

yep

[neon tusk]

🥲

what skill was it

[foggy junco]

ES

[neon tusk]

lol then i doubt i got chance with warpath

[sand gorge]

Es is crazy the amount more dmg it does that warpath lol I swapped

Plus finding a valid clothos is near impossible I swear

[neon tusk]

best ive got

[foggy junco]

ES does outrageous damage but I think it's still a really tough fight because you have to be nearly perfect and even then sometimes it's still not enough. I think there's some luck involved at times.

[sand gorge]

The animation locks can be brutal

[foggy junco]

like I find Souls games easy, this was 100x harder

[neon tusk]

im gonna go with 5k hp lol not gonna be enough but still

[sand gorge]

You have 5k as warpath?

That’s pretty damn good

[quiet hearth]

more like armor

[sand wolf]

Warpath is not a damage skill

[sand gorge]

Yeah that’s looking good

[turbid dome]

armor has a cap

[sand gorge]

Yeah I was just shocked at how hard I was hitting with es as nearly the same gear

[neon tusk]

ya im gonna squeeze it to5k before ia ttempt him, been trying to get good roll lp3 anguish

turtle has been brutal

[sand gorge]

Turtle mean

[teal dune]

really not sure what i should be doing..im brand new lvl 88 voidknight and erasing strike has made game very trivial...(I understand I'm still in the early endgame or maybe even just earlygame lol). ive cleared all the timelines once and am doing it again at 100 corruption right now. should i just keep hitting it or should i be doing something else?

[twilit valley]

Can a gauntlet of strife take a t5 to a t6 when you upgrade

[neon tusk]

what u have completed is normal monoliths, endgame is empowered monoliths with high corruption

[sand gorge]

I was just watching perry turtle so many legendaries lmao

Omg he’s going nuts on stream right now 😂

[lilac sparrow]

NGL

The new devouring orb acts like a warpath

Spinning around you

[teal dune]

right, thank you for giving me the correct terminology. So am i heading in the right direction, or did i forget to do something? i basically went straight from story to these monoliths. Now im doing the monoliths again at 100 corruption. i've been adding as many of bonus locations to get weaver points but outside of that i haven't really touched anything like COF

[lilac sparrow]

And each orb stacks dmg if they are close together

[sand gorge]

Yeah so basically you try to work the corruption up as you can

[lilac sparrow]

500 is the minimum now

[sand gorge]

But important to get early is your empowered blessings for your build

[lilac sparrow]

For Uberroth

300 for regular

[sand gorge]

They fill in gaps on your build really well

[teal dune]

okay cool! and i get those by completing the monoliths again on the higher corruption?

[lilac sparrow]

Try also to roll for the highest roll or near max

[teal dune]

thank you for the info. I appreciate it

[sand gorge]

Just completing them on empowered

Sometimes gotta do it a few times to get the ones you need

But as long as it’s an ok roll you’ll be back

[pure mauve]

Noticed some judgement paladins running cleaver instead of transcriber, is that to scale int for healing hands?

[paper pebble]

question to all you knowledgeable people, how valuable is atk speed compared to fire dmg on judgement pala?

Got a transscriber graver with +24 ele pene, 21 spell dmg and hit it with 52% AS but also got a graver with 17 ele pene, 23 spell dmg and hit with 25AS + 208% fire dmg.

Is the first one with higher ele penetration you think?

[ionic inlet]

If only this champion affix was useful (kinda is until you can use twisted heart)

[neon tusk]

will lp1 t7 melee attack speed on this be a good replacement ?

[severe narwhal]

does base attack rate affect hammer throw?

[neon tusk]

throwing attack speed

[severe narwhal]

i mean the stat on weapons

[neon tusk]

nope

[severe narwhal]

i get that throwing attack speed works on throwing attacks

does multistrike smite have a limit on how many times it can happen?

[neon tusk]

base attack speed works on everything non throw/melee

[eager lily]

is everyone using clotho's or world splitter for warpath VK?

[neon tusk]

good rolled clotho's is better

[eager lily]

tyty

[severe narwhal]

hey chat

[ionic inlet]

no

[severe narwhal]

i got a dumb idea

shield charge with the node that gives it no cooldown and then take the void beam thing

and just spam it

its probably gonna kill you tho

[ionic inlet]

It's a bit janky when you spam it but yeah works 😅

Can bug out a bit sometimes

[faint scarab]

warpath mana cost is 1

so it doesnt work with splitter rly

[elfin shale]

Fun fact: warrior's fury does not scale giant splitter, making it useless for time rot application

[sand wolf]

everytime with Mourningfrost fffffffuuuuuuu

[turbid dome]

get that exalted cold res

[sand wolf]

gotta get that shred cold res blessing so i'll probably need 2x exalted cold res jeeeeesus

[lilac sparrow]

Not really same as casting speed

[turbid dome]

[sand wolf]

it increases the rate at which you use the skill

[turbid dome]

like I understand why but like

[sand wolf]

exactly. same here

[lilac sparrow]

Btw

Res shred only affects 2% per stack on bosses and rare mobs

[sand wolf]

im pretty sure i started stacking dex just to get free throwing base crit

[lilac sparrow]

So 10% at most on bosses

[turbid dome]

10% more is 10% more tho

[sand wolf]

i mean its still something, right

[turbid dome]

I always forget how weirdly hard some res shred is to get

cause like damn

[sand wolf]

how is 2%x10 stacks = 10?

75% res before shred --> 55% res after shred is like 80% more dmg

[turbid dome]

1% res in last epoch is 1% damage reduction

each stack on a boss is -2% res, so 2 * 10 = 20, yeah thats -20 res

[sand wolf]

if we assume enemy has 75% resist at lvl 75 zone and above, then 20% res shred is 80% more dmg isnt it

[turbid dome]

I don't believe enemies have resistances

[dreamy sun]

sure but why would you assume that

[turbid dome]

just like with armor

enemies get DR

this isn't the current conversation, but also enemies attacking you in a lvl 75 or higher zone have 75% all resistance pen, so 1% res for you is actually 1% DR

[knotty kernel]

Judgement the tankiest/easiest for uber abberoth or there another class that does better at higher tiers? Trying to decide what to build next

[neon tusk]

Has anyone used ravenous void here? Can I slap it on my warpath with melee attack speed as the lp1 slam?

[turbid dome]

yeah those are a very good defensive pair of gloves

just like make sure to read how they work

[neon tusk]

So I got a drop but the wrong lp with egg , can I use it on weaver tree to get it to drop for me randomly?

[turbid dome]

as long as its not a boss drop, yeah

[neon tusk]

I read something about mime stacks that disable health leech, since it’s my main source of recovery what options do I have

[neon tusk]

So is this weighted by unique drop rate or all uniques via weave tree drop with same chance?

[turbid dome]

you can remove the mimic feast with the belt affix that removes all aliments on you on chugging a potion

[vale ravine]

Is the ravenous void downside even fixed? At one point it was just completely nonexistent right?

[turbid dome]

It should be working

[neon tusk]

So I’ll also need a 2lp shattered chains

🔫

[turbid dome]

thats just a go murder shades with the 2 woven shade nodes

[neon tusk]

Murder shades at the end of the web though

[turbid dome]

basically when the first thing triggers, get ready to smack the potion button

[turbid dome]

abyssal trap -> makes shade appear sometimes randomly in regular echos

Reflections of -> get special woven echo that has a bunch of shades

Regular spawning shade -> its a shade

do all 3

imprint that woven echo so it shows up while you run to the regular shade spawn

Try to do cemetery echos cause if the shade randomly appears there you can buff him with the buff ghost things

• I have no idea how this actually affects his drops, but its fun

[neon tusk]

What corruption do I farm the 2lp belts

[vale ravine]

Just never drop low life, problem solved

[neon tusk]

[turbid dome]

as high as you can do without super slowing down your echo clear rate

theres a node in the bottom left of the weaver tree that stops corruption from going up when you kill shades so once you find a good corruption you can keep it the same

[neon tusk]

Yeah I’ve been farming it at the center of the web for a lp3 anguish

Turtle has been terrible for me, got 1 lp3 anguish with bad rolls

12% void pen with doom

[turbid dome]

tbh a high doom chance is the good thing to have

[neon tusk]

Why? With high attack speed you’re going to get 2-3 stacks anyway

[turbid dome]

cause more doom faster is good

[vale ravine]

He got bamboozled by a shaman spy earlier who thought pen is the most important stat on it

[turbid dome]

not the doom pen stat

[vale ravine]

Ye, exactly. You want 4 stacks all the time

[neon tusk]

Hmm I didn’t know this

I’ve been keeping an eye out for doom pen all the time

[turbid dome]

doom pen only effects the dot on doom

[vale ravine]

That's literally the least important stat on it 🙂

[turbid dome]

16% MORE damage tho is 👍

[neon tusk]

Damn 🤣

I’ll see what I can do with the single 3lp I got

[turbid dome]

and with shattered chains is another 20% MORE damage

but critically chains can't inflict doom

[neon tusk]

I got this 1lp with max t7 hybrid health

[turbid dome]

basically high roll is important so you only need one siphon to sustain max doom

[neon tusk]

If I get a ravenous void with t7 melee atk speed I would need a shattered chains with lp2 with hybrid health and experimental affix

[turbid dome]

if not using apathy's maw the leech rate is the 2nd most important imo

*assuming you have leech somewhere else

[neon tusk]

btw they removed the glyph of insight or whatever?

[vale ravine]

Well you dont need a 2 lp chain, just dont drop to 1k HP 😄

[turbid dome]

theres a woven echo for that now

[vale ravine]

Trust

[turbid dome]

they also made the summon explosive zombies on potion chug into EXPLODING BEEEEES

[neon tusk]

So hybrid health on belt and ravenous void and never drop to below 1k

[turbid dome]

ideally yes

[vale ravine]

this is not a financial advice

[turbid dome]

in practice get the remove aliemnts mod on a velt

belt

[vale ravine]

Can you just have a random exalted belt with the cleanse on it, quick equip ,cleanse, revert back?

[neon tusk]

also do I use a quicksilver 3lp or stick to 1-2lp flames of midnight

[neon tusk]

You overestimate my skill

[vale ravine]

Wait

Can you snapshot the affix 😄

Time to do some tests
