[turbid dome]

But that’s a small sample size

[compact mantle]

I'd imagine DoT Aura is great for mapping

I dont know if it could stand against Uber though.

[turbid dome]

Both face tank uber void boi with enough gear

[pseudo parcel]

Melee Judgement is tankier and needs less gear

[turbid dome]

Also @paper forum the classic sentinel tip for bosses, slap rebuke onto your skill bar (don’t spec it) and now you have a face tank everything button

It’s 80% damage reduction to everything without spec-ing it

Just time it for the bosses big attack

[compact mantle]

How did i not think of this.

[paper forum]

I'll keep it in mind. For now, haven't been drinking potions with 2*1h weapons and stacking fire damage followed by physical damage and a sword that gives ward on melee and a bunch of crit strike / crit damage = haven't drunk a potion yet

it's almost boring but I like it

[turbid dome]

Tbh potions become more to cleanse aliments once you get into the late game

there’s a belt affix for it

Tho their healing did get buffed this season so they can save you in a pinch

Most of the time tho your using leech to heal

[paper forum]

Is it OK to post screenshots in this channel when asking a question?

[wooden mountain]

I'd say witchfire is pretty close

[paper forum]

I'm using a oh shiny neckpiece but I'm guessing for my judgment build, the rare neck is better yes? Held on to it for like 40 levels now :/

Similar question for the relic. Have a +fire dmg relic in inventory but I like the unique relic (petals) i'm having now. Which is better?

I'm guessing this is all academic at this point since this is just cannon fodder for getting into end-game but curious. Thanks!

[turbid dome]

True

[wooden mountain]

I'd use the unique, don't underestimate the less DOT damage taken implicit.

[turbid dome]

Yeah oracle amulets (implicit is less dot damage taken) is basically the best defense vs dots

[wooden mountain]

this unique doesn't seem to do much for you, you're not using physical spells

[turbid dome]

As enemies get 1% resistance pen per area level (caps at 75%) and armor doesn’t innately apply to dots

[wooden mountain]

unless you go out of your way to mitigate them then dots can be the rippiest thing you face in early endgame

[turbid dome]

And if you do have armor applies to dots, armor being less effective vs non phys damage still applies

[paper forum]

What would you recommend as a suffix to add to* the solar commandment of regrowth relic? Endurance?

[turbid dome]

Endurance % is okay? Tho it functions more as defense vs 1 shots than anything else

I will say you probably want to have around 2.5k life before you finish regular monos

[paper forum]

Thanks all. Much helpful.

[turbid dome]

Best of luck

[paper forum]

One last question for the day, I promise. I have the current dual-wield setup as one weapon generates ward (MH) and the other (OH) has +spell damage awesomeness as judgement is all my main damage against the big guys. If I go shield, does the rare scymitar make sense? Or does it make sense to swap out either the MH or OH with the scymitar? feels very melee damage oriented.

Screen1: Compare with MH

Screen 2: Compare with OH:

I'll check back later, dad duty calls. Thanks in advance, you magnificent people you.

[pseudo parcel]

You basically want a fast one handed weapon with melee speed on it, spell damage or fire damage is a bonus

The speed means you attack faster, generate more mana and can spam more judgements

[frigid zenith]

Some resists (necro, poison) isn't maxed, should I push to max them or would it be alright with this amount of EHP

phalanx FG

[alpine canopy]

A lot of enemies deal necrotic nowadays, so maybe that if you can. But if you aren't dying, then you're fine (if you're playing HC then imo definitely get it)

[turbid dome]

if your like 10 points away, try to max it with vitality

[frigid zenith]

I want to but all the slots I could get that in feel accounted for 😭

I can slot in a red ring on the ring slot but then I'd overcap the res and also have to give up either the str or the endurance (since no way I'm getting a 2LP ring)

ah you know what I have a vit suloron anyway, I'll just use that and give up the str there I guess

[turbid dome]

uhh

you can drop one of the endurance things for res

like it looks like your trying to giga scale your damage off of endurance but dropping a single affix to cap your res would be ok

[frigid zenith]

yeah I was trying to gauge whether I need the extra tankiness or not

haven't really played with a shield before and the EHP looks silly big on paper

compared to my previous builds

[turbid dome]

An extra 70% Dr vs hits does that to an ehp

Tho the shield that drops from the snake god woven echo fight is just kinda the best rn

[frigid zenith]

yeah blocking dot sounds amazing

was there any other way to stack block chance other than the mountain shield btw

[ionic inlet]

Not really, you can use Abyss which is 55 block, add t7 26 and you have 76%

[frigid zenith]

welp, that's a huge difference 💀

[forest kelp]

Yesterday afternoon, I had some digestive issues and took some medicine. By morning, I felt groggy, logged into my VK character, and died 15 times in 30 minutes. It’s now past midnight, and I’m finally feeling better 💀

look cool

[frigid zenith]

so killing VKs make you feel better?

[forest kelp]

I felt guilty, so I spared his life

I switched to my paladin character to play, a fantastic build that saved me at that time

[chilly peak]

But that looks more like a Paladin tbh 😛

What's that burning off hand?

[forest kelp]

The first mtx item I bought, but I only used it at the start of this season; the shield builds in previous seasons weren’t that great

[chilly peak]

Looks super cool. That set that you wear would perfectly fit my fire WP Pala 🙂

[flat valve]

If nemesis gives stats instead of lp it's completely bricked right? nothing I can do with it anymore

[forest kelp]

Those are legendary affixes; you can use them to sacrifice and reroll the range of a unique item of the same type, 1 affix = 1 legendary point

[flat valve]

like reroll the base values of a unique?

affix range

[forest kelp]

Yeah, reroll range all line

[flat valve]

gotcha ty

[forest kelp]

The echo do it name Gauntlet of Strife

[frigid zenith]

and sometimes, very rarely, they roll the correct affix you want 😄

feels even rarer than a WW rolling correctly 💀

[sweet stag]

Do the nodes from the multistrike skill tree affect smites from hallowed arsenal?

[frigid zenith]

if you mean the damage modifiers etc, no

if it has its own skill tree then it will rely on its own skill tree only

[sweet stag]

k ty

[leaden yoke]

im playing judgement pally, what is the 4th stat i should add? incase i failed slam on LP2 sword

[waxen nymph]

I don't think there is a 4th good offensive stat

So maybe a defensive ailment?
Frailty, Chill, Slow etc

[leaden yoke]

ty

[warped night]

I tried phalanx FG with bleed and it was so disappointing 😔

did a ton of phys res and bleed pen/duration and such and it was still pretty crap

[waxen nymph]

Iron Blade?

[warped night]

yeah

[waxen nymph]

And Phys Res for Blade Paladin?

[warped night]

mhmm

the damage was pitiful

so much so that it felt like something, either the phalanx bonus or the phys pen per phys res, wasn't working properly, but I was too disappointed to thoroughly test it out

swapped my FG to shield rush w/ event horizon

it's a genuinely funny build. really solid single target damage. the echo final hit was doing 3m crits on the boss dummy, and I don't even have a 2lp event horizon yet

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/kidpid/character/Dingus

[paper forum]

Morning/evening all. Should I switch to the "dmg" reflected chest piece? Judgment paladin here, armor and +fire dmg is nice but holy damage reflected 😮

[mossy yew]

that 49inch ultra wide just hits diff

[paper forum]

Sorry, I can snip it if that's less annoying. It's also a 57" :/

[mossy yew]

g9

niceee

yea swap

dps boost and keeping armor

[paper forum]

Game resolution says 7640x2160 but screen shot resolution says 5120x1440 or something

You mean swap to turtle?

[mossy yew]

yes sir imo you will benefit more

[paper forum]

tyvm

[frigid zenith]

dang, and the bleed version probably utilizes the javelin part better than hit version

how much block did you get?

[paper forum]

Seems like a no brainer to use Calamity for judgement paladin yes? Burn baby burn?

[wooden mountain]

mana good

[paper forum]

Wondering how much +fire damage is too much, right now at 550% +fire dmg

And then I run into "fire resistant" I suppose 😮

[wooden mountain]

pen can take enemy res below zero and enemies have 0 fire res by default so fire pen is just good to have

if you have 0 pen then gaining 50% fire pen is the same as 50% more damage

[warped night]

I had like 135% block while preparing to riposte and over 500% phys res

the damage was only decent when jav finally proc'd, otherwise the damage from vengeance and iron blade was underwhelming

[frigid zenith]

500 phys res pen? 👀

dang

how bad is it waiting for jav procs

[silent tide]

for erasing strike void knight, do you recommend void cleave or volatile reversal?

[waxen nymph]

Healing Hand?

[silent tide]

I have that too, but isnt that slow? I have that basically only for the invincibility

[forest kelp]

Void clear if what you want is damage as well as quick clear echo

https://youtu.be/sYNjUxAMe9M?si=K4IWZjGE4g7Fkgb1 Recommended for you

[silent tide]

thanks!

[forest kelp]

Crafting mana and level void clear on a relic is an excellent choice

[vale lantern]

if only FP was good or 7/7/7/7

[paper forum]

49% fire pen. Good to know.

[unborn cypress]

How much void pen should I have for Uber Aberroth fight?

[forest kelp]

FP so hard to upgrade

[wooden mountain]

pen is just another more multi really, so you should worry about how much dps and EHP you have not pen

[warped night]

it's painful. made me wish I could hit myself

[mighty cedar]

Hello, Does this portion of RoS scale with "fire,spell,dot" or only the RoS minion stuff liek base attunement scaling?

[mighty cedar]

can someone tell me if this wil scale with my fire dmg too or it HAS to be the minions?

[warped night]

pretty sure it has to be the minion's

[mighty cedar]

That seems extremly hard to scale

[warped night]

yep, it's pretty crap

[mighty cedar]

and hear I thought I was going to make a microwave

it seems like a relaly undervalued ability then esciially to be locked behind the tree tiself

[warped night]

yeah, there's quite a few abilities like that unfortunately. lots of things that haven't received any love in a while

[mighty cedar]

I was looking at shield throw, it looks super fun. Is it a good ability?

[safe oasis]

How impactful would it be for sentinel if attunement gained 1% mana regen per point?

[safe oasis]

Afaik there's ways to make it work okay, but nothing crazy

[mighty cedar]

the shield say they (ring ofd shields) get 4% dmg boost per 1 attunment so that coul dbe good scaling no?

[warped night]

shield throw is solid with the sigeon shield and stacking a bunch of reflect weaver idols

[unborn cypress]

How do I determine my EHP?

[mighty cedar]

I was looking at that "explosion" thing from it

[warped night]

lava burst?

it's okay for a DoT build maybe, but difficult to scale for hit damage as it's a spell, not a throwing attack

[mighty cedar]

hmm i see

[safe oasis]

Letools build planner can give you it or at least close

Gah it nixed my reply

@unborn cypress

[unborn cypress]

Oh cool I see it now! Didn't know about this.

But there are 21 different numbers. Which one do I look at? 😅

[safe oasis]

All of them (that are different to the other numbers in the column.)

You only need to care about 1 shot ehp if you have meaningfull dodge or some but not 100% block chance

But both hit and dot EHP are important

[unborn cypress]

My one shot EHP is 22k

[mighty cedar]

Is this ANY DMG or just physical?

[turbid dome]

should be any

specific damage types would follow this wording

[mighty cedar]

Is the relationship of dmg ad ignite one that the more dmg somethign does the higher the ignite applies or is ignite static?

[turbid dome]

no ignite has its own base damage

however nodes on the skill tree that applies it can affect its damage

[alpine canopy]

Ignite has its own base damage that you can't modify, but it does inherit all applicable stats from the thing that applies it.
e.g, if your smite applies ignite, that ignite benefits from whatever %inc damage smite has from your attunement and similarly if you have the sacrifice node that applies to the ignites as well

[unborn cypress]

How important is the last affix on Seed of Ekkidrasil " X% chance to take 0 damage when hit?"

[turbid dome]

It’s ok

It will never activate when you actually need it

[unborn cypress]

What's the main affix I should be looking for on it? Just the added mana?

[turbid dome]

Increased max mana is what I aim for yeah

[unborn cypress]

And what's the most important stat on flames of midnight? Void pen?

[alpine canopy]

Yeah, that's the only one that matters

[pseudo parcel]

[forest kelp]

🦎

[forest kelp]

[mighty cedar]

TYVM doyou know if Forge Flames scaled with me or just with the Ring of Shields?

[turbid dome]

Great question, let me go take a look

[turbid dome]

Given it’s a ring of shields node, I’d imagine it would scale with minion stats given ring of shields is a minion skill

Haven’t really every used ring of shields tho so take that with a grain of salt

Also gonna go @waxen nymph help

[waxen nymph]

Its a minion so Minion Stats

Note that now RoS scale dmg with Attunement

[turbid dome]

[waxen nymph]

And also RoS copy your shield stats

[frigid zenith]

so Forge Flames scale from RoS's damage which scales from your Attunement

did I get that right

[mighty cedar]

Okay so the other scaling tags on forge flames are for the "minion" portion of it like minion fire dmg ect

[turbid dome]

Yea

Imagine it’s a fire wizard skeleton who orbits you

[frigid zenith]

speaking of which, do both judgment hit and consecrated ground scale from str and attunement, or only str for hit and att for c.ground ?

[mighty cedar]

hmmm atunment based forge guard

[turbid dome]

Each forge guard minion scales with attunment

Well, attunment on you

Not on the minion

[mighty cedar]

hmmm attunemnt shieldthrow with that spell explosion thingy

[turbid dome]

Don’t forget smite on throwing hit idols

[mighty cedar]

could attuenment ignite shield throw ring of shiled microwave work? I feel like I wouldnt be able to scale the RoS dmg high enough

[turbid dome]

If your doing ignite you don’t scale the hit damage

And if your doing hit, you don’t scale ignite

Pick one

[mighty cedar]

I want the RoS do to significant dmg if possible so scaling ignite atunement minion dmg ?

[turbid dome]

Again while you can probably make that work, it’s better focus a single thing

So like focus shield throw

Or focus ignite

Or focus minion ignite

Etc.

[mighty cedar]

oh I see okay that makes sense. Do you thik I could scale the minion aura enough?

[turbid dome]

Probably?

[mighty cedar]

looks to be 20 fire dmg at base

[turbid dome]

I don’t have experience trying that but it would make sense that it could work

[plain storm]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/o3qRZPyQ any thoughts or improvements for uberroth? rn it seems viable but the fight is pure agony and im getting skill issued

[turbid dome]

darn

[waxen nymph]

I honeslty dont think it has any significant dmg

200% Dmg per Second with a single 60% More Dmg

Maybe if you can get 30 shields around you why not

I mean, I am just trying to manage your expectation rather than shuting you down

I made a quick planner for it a while back

[waxen nymph]

You main issue is you are playing Smelter Wrath

[mighty cedar]

No I apreicate it. Is it just 1 of those nodes that needs a tweak? it seems like a big waste of dmg and I know from watching streams and such they dont like "aura killer" passive thigns like this woudl suggest it could be

[waxen nymph]

The Attunement scaling was added this cycle

[mighty cedar]

oh i see, so ther is some way to make it work but just might not be like super end gamy ect

sad that RoS is locked behind the 30 point mark haha

let me look over as I am still learning lots

[forest kelp]

who can save me?

[leaden yoke]

is rune of creation easy to farm?

[forest kelp]

Yes

[leaden yoke]

ah damn i forgot its can be farmed through prophecies

[leaden yoke]

good luck man ❤️

[forest kelp]

U can rip me ☠️

[leaden yoke]

im following your Judgement Pally path 🙂

[mighty cedar]

I might be stupid but how are you using a 2H weapon and a shield?

[waxen nymph]

Forge Guard passive

At the end

[turbid dome]

forge masters might

the 1 point node at the very end

[mighty cedar]

Oh okay tyvm, is the reason you chose that 2H becuase its the only one that can roll those affixes?

I didn’t even think about warpath, I’ve been using shield throw to bounce it off for the healing sustain which is probably marginal

[turbid dome]

twohanders have more raw stats than one handers (even after the nodes debuffs)

so when you view it as using a super strong onehander + shield its just better

so like a twohander will have more implicit damage and its affixes will be significantly bigger than a onehander

[mighty cedar]

Oh I see I see

And so the stuff I’m going for is atunment, minion fire, minion spell, minion dmg? Not really caring about scaling warpath afaik?

[turbid dome]

stat wise its probably around dual wielding, but significantly tankier given you have a shield

[turbid dome]

which thing did you decide on using?

like ignite, minion, spell trigger, etc.

[mighty cedar]

Ideally I’d like to try an make the RoS microwave work if you think it can atleast be a good farming build

[turbid dome]

it might work as a farming build

but yeah you want minion damage stats like minion fire to make your shield minions do more damage

idk if that subskill for ring of shields can use flat minion damage, but if it can yeah grab flat minion damage

and of course, make sure you have a good shield cause ring of shield, shields inherit your equipped shield's stats

[mighty cedar]

Spell and Fire are its tags so it should take flat versions of those

If I make a loot filter exporting it from what you linked woild that be sufficient?

Also, any 2H or that specific one cause minion can only toll on it

[waxen nymph]

1. It s an axe so it can get Double Minion Flat Spell
2. It has hp and 200%Minion 'Dmg

I did not add it but obviously Symbols of Hope is a must have

[mighty cedar]

Yea that makes sense

Do you think Shield throw could be viable with this or the increased rotating speed why its warpath?

[frigid zenith]

if you're going to be scaling minion, scaling shield throw at the same time is probably going to be hard

honestly RoS itself only has like, 60% in more damage multiplier, I'm a bit skeptical how much it can scale

[mighty cedar]

60%? Can’t it scale as much Atunment as I can throw at it?

Oh

I understand what you mean now

[mighty cedar]

Couldn’t the same be said for warpath? Isn’t the point of this build just to do dmg with the shields?

[turbid dome]

typically your main damage skill should have way more %more damage multipliers

warpath triggers stuff like smite that has a single node which gives 250% more damage (and other nodes for more damage too)

[frigid zenith]

well yes, scaling warpath and RoS at the same time would be tricky too

[turbid dome]

smite can also crit for a hit build

[mighty cedar]

But isn’t that scaling smite and not the shields? Or are you saying that, that path is easier to scale along side the RoS?

[turbid dome]

again depends on the build

[mighty cedar]

I think I’ll try to push RoS to see what I can get it to farm for me

[turbid dome]

ring of shields itself isn't a great damage skill because its main focus is being extra shields inbetween you and the big mean guy whose gonna kill you

but if you can make it work 100% go for it

half the fun in an ARPG is figuring out what wacky combo you can make work

[mighty cedar]

Like you said, I think the main thing is managing my expectations

[turbid dome]

yea

tho also you could just slap rive or a different damage skill on if ring of shields doesn't work out

keeping RoS for the not die

[mighty cedar]

I love shield throw

I see it got some changes this season from what I was looking at

[frigid zenith]

speaking of which, isn't the smite note in warpath kinda meh

only 1 smite/s?

is that to each enemy at least? or is it 1/s total

[turbid dome]

You combo it with smite on throwing hit idols and vortex pendant (relic)

[frigid zenith]

quite the gimmicky build 😅

[turbid dome]

not really

thats been one of the go to warpath builds for a while

[dense tendon]

if only vortex gave fire related stuff instead of random + throwing skill levels and physical damage

[frigid zenith]

well maybe not in term of performance, but build wise scaling phys damage to get axe throws to combine with idols so you can do elemental damage smite does have quite the steps to get through

[waxen nymph]

I don't know, but Warpath is here for the rotation speed, less dmg taken for Shield and extra block for you

[mighty cedar]

I wish Shield throw had a lightning afix

[turbid dome]

you want some phys damage tho cause phys damage makes you throw axes more often with it

[dense tendon]

but that's a mod on the item itself

[turbid dome]

plus its a fairly common unique, slam some stuff on it

[dense tendon]

what is the vision? use a physical thrown skill and then spin while it's on cd?

which one?

[turbid dome]

the vision for it is a dual wield mixed melee and throwing build

[waxen nymph]

Just get generic Inc Dmg while Channeling

[turbid dome]

turns out using it to trigger smite is just better

[waxen nymph]

It affect both Phys Dmg for more Axe and Fire dmg

[turbid dome]

I thought just %increased phys damage is needed to make axes more frequent

and generic %increased dmg didn't work

[waxen nymph]

99% sure it works

[turbid dome]

if LEtools will ever load on my crummy work wifi I'll check

[waxen nymph]

@gusty abyss

[turbid dome]

thou art correct

[waxen nymph]

Fun fact, phys pen works too

[turbid dome]

given pen is basically just a %More damage, yay

[waxen nymph]

Multiplicatively

[frigid zenith]

@_@

that's so weird

[turbid dome]

I wish this build could go back to before when the smite on throwing hit idols didn't have a per 2 seconds cap

let me crash a server again

[frigid zenith]

does phys pen on warpath work? axe throw gets counted as warpath subskill with pennant right?

[turbid dome]

no it shouldn't count as a warpath subskill

the item just triggers it while your warpathing

[dense tendon]

why would phys pen work
and how do you know it does

[turbid dome]

@waxen nymph

[frigid zenith]

#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message I just happened to remember it being mentioned recently

[mighty cedar]

that seems like a huge nerf

[turbid dome]

oh neat

[turbid dome]

yeah but the build still works great with the cap

[mighty cedar]

really? it feels like that puts a cieling on the max rate like if you wer using shield throw for example

[dense tendon]

would be nice if you could somehow trigger orbiting hammer throw while spinning

[turbid dome]

you don't go for 100% chance on idols, 50% chance is more than enough then you spend the stuff you used to spend on more procs just going for more damage

so end result is basically the same damage output, you just don't get visual vomit and crash the server/game

[mighty cedar]

I see

I also notices that there was a change to smite being that it has an actual void node now

[turbid dome]

?

smite has had a void node

it was just on VK's tree

[mighty cedar]

thats what I meant

[waxen nymph]

I know it does because we have tested it
I guess somehow the game count Phys Pen as more phys dmg somehow

[waxen nymph]

Phys Pen while holding a Mace should work, probably

[mighty cedar]

Is there somewhere I can go to learn what all these special mobs do? Lizard, mages, coin looking thing with options, giant volcanic diablo looking monsters ect

[gusty abyss]

yes

[turbid dome]

Hit G and look up the stuff

Assuming giant volcanic Diablo looking monsters are nemesis

[alpine canopy]

I think that's "coin looking thing with options"
Come to think of it... there isn't a fire nemesis at all, is there?

[turbid dome]

I dont think so?

poison, ice, lightning, bleed.. uhh

[alpine canopy]

the new void one

huh, never really thought about that lol

maybe they didn't want it to look like manifest armor

[turbid dome]

I guess also the papa nemesis at the top of the tower

unless thats the void one

[turbid dome]

or the forged armor enemy you fight during act 1 a lot

[alpine canopy]

Oh yeah those guys are regular enemies too, forgot about that

[turbid dome]

yeah

in the story they get replaced by the siege golems pretty quickly

[thorn plover]

yeah thats the void one
he gets added to the pool after the first time you kill him

[turbid dome]

ah

could not remember if void nemi was just in the pool or not from the get go

[mighty cedar]

@turbid dome lol so it kind of works!

[turbid dome]

That’s the first step in making it work!

[mighty cedar]

Do you know if there is like a minion area of effect?> I would like the forge auras to be a bit larger

[turbid dome]

I think theres an acolyte helmet?

[mighty cedar]

the auras of the shields dont really overlap (maybe on big mobs iot does) IDK i cna't really tell

[turbid dome]

test it on the training dummies

[mighty cedar]

I cant use that helmet though afaik. IDK where those are. I am almost at uhhhh the big squid guy

[turbid dome]

Champion's Gate, Divine Area (its in the ice area)

you can go there assuming big squid guy = Lagon

also yeah thats like the only spot for minion AOE on items... not a common stat it seems

[mighty cedar]

Okay ill go try, what am I looking for on the dummy?

Also I think I found a glitch, when I map over with RoS activy... it starts to auto cast constnatly BUT i get noe shields

Okay standing in the middle the number is bigger

120 is one shiled I think cause if I just let it pas through mobs its odly 360

amd center is 780

is ther a big model mob?

Hmm on actual monsters I am only seeing like 300

[turbid dome]

sorry had to step away, yeah look to see how its damage is working out based on where you stand

[turbid dome]

enemies get Damage reduction based on area level, so you will do less damage than to the dummies

[mighty cedar]

no worries, do sup skills like lava burst gain anything from the skill that causes them or no?

[turbid dome]

sub skills do, they get the attribute scaling and should get applicable increased and more damage from their parent skill

[mighty cedar]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/oyYb8N9o So, all the MORE modifiers (not the +throwing dmg though?) would increase the dmg of lava burst? as well as the base strength or dex scaling of shield throw?

should be yeah

[mighty cedar]

Oh wow okay and the flat dmg i was talking about isn't consired correct?

[turbid dome]

yeah cause lava burst doesn't have a throwing tag

[mighty cedar]

Makes sense, so if it says “shield throw does More hit dmg” that would apply to the lava burst making it also do more?” Just wanting to make sure before I send this lol

[turbid dome]

honestly great question I forget which actually applies to what

smack a training dummy -> spec the node -> smack it again and see if damage went up

[alpine canopy]

Yes, since lava burst is a hit

You can also add spell damage to shield throw, and even though the throw is not a spell itself and doesn't benefit from spell stats, it still gets them and passes them along to lava burst

Molten toss is a great node for boosting lava burst as well

[turbid dome]

TIL that

[maiden rivet]

Hi, how does Multi Strike synergize with Smite? Is it like eaxh stack of Armament turns into a Smite?

[jovial oasis]

Yeah, swords become smites

[maiden rivet]

Ok another question. Does the node that increase smite heal area also increase its Area damage?

[waxen nymph]

No because Smite only deals dmg to one mob

[forest kelp]

Mtx for pet? 😆

[leaden yoke]

is timerot VK a good farmer

not comparing to ES

[forest kelp]

I'd rather farm with my Judgement Paladin character; it's faster and more comfortable

hope luck with havoc 🙏

[frigid zenith]

precious...

completed build

1.4 million dmg per tick for hi health enemy after 810k per tick, hi corruption fast run 2500 after slowly, time to kill uber 3:56. 100% block and very easy starter.

[forest kelp]

let me swap str

[leaden yoke]

is there any video for this build?

btw Kuden and his glorious rings 🔥

[silver slate]

no, you can search to youtube this build. my version aspirational gir

[forest kelp]

Hope Julra love me 🫡

the splinter in heart

[rugged leaf]

thats sad😭

[lilac sparrow]

Is this new stream?

[forest kelp]

Yup

[lilac sparrow]

What else is new

Are there reveal on acolytes rework

[frigid zenith]

ouch, what stunning result 💀

[lilac sparrow]

Where can I read this @forest kelp

[forest kelp]

You can find it on LE's Twitch channel. I only skimmed through it on FB, so I don’t know much about the content

[maiden rivet]

Does the "x% chance to cast smite on throwing attack" stack for multiple idols?
I know Paladrius has a rate limit for smite casts, so Im not sure what the interaction is

[chilly peak]

Clear yes on this, it stacks

[waxen nymph]

There is also a cap

10 times per 2 seconds

[chilly peak]

oO ooof

Let me guess, it is in the Alt tooltip?

I either forget or never knew, thought honestly that this one is uncapped.

[waxen nymph]

It used to be uncapped but the chance was way smaller
It should be in the alt text but I don't think it's there

Letools shows it but I don't know ingame

I have a feeling it doesn't

[warped night]

it was definitely better before the change

at least in terms of number of smites you could proc

[waxen nymph]

In some case it's better now, like Shield Throw

Also you now only need 2 idols

It frees a good chunk of idols slots

[warped night]

yeah, but the change did drastically reduce the DPS of my hammer smite paladin. So much so that it wasn't really worth playing anymore

[chilly peak]

I can't find it ingame. But I'm glad to know now.

I play a fire Smite WP and was under the believe that this was my only source of uncapped smites (tho it might be on that build the number of throws is the limiting factor already)

[gusty abyss]

I don't think you realistically get 5 throwing attacks per second, unless you are vk with echos. (For smite warpath)

[chilly peak]

No, but one throw seems to be able to trigger multiple smite. At least it looked to me like that

[waxen nymph]

If it hits multiple target yeah

[forest kelp]

Wish vengeance can call smile too

[alpine canopy]

Prior to 1.2 it was in game same wording as LE Tools, idk why but it went away from the description

[alpine canopy]

With siege barrage or hitting big packs, you can

[chilly peak]

Bigger packs is exactly what is limiting the WP build at a certain point

[mighty cedar]

Do yall think the 6 second CD on this is viable for a primary ability?

[waxen nymph]

No it's awful

[forest kelp]

6s too much hit 🤦‍♀️

[mighty cedar]

So more of a sub skill then or just not worth

Is hammer throw the only good smite throw build?

[waxen nymph]

Shield and Javelin are good

[waxen nymph]

It's more of a Support specc

With the Colossus stacks and Frenzy behind it

[mighty cedar]

So the key for that would be, use the Shield throw CD and then use some other skill from its buff?

[frigid zenith]

pretty much

[waxen nymph]

It has some pretty nice support buff
Phys Pen, Inc Armor, Steal Armor, Frailty, Shred Phys or Fire, Frenzy

[mighty cedar]

oh wow this sealed affix is nice

[wintry quest]

Which one of these is better?

[waxen nymph]

Hard to say without knowning what you play

But Most likely the mana one

[wintry quest]

Erasing Strike Void Knight

[waxen nymph]

Unless you need the Void Res

[wintry quest]

I don´t feel like I need the res or anything, it´s just that the increased void damage sounds juicy

[waxen nymph]

15%'isn't that much

You really need mana for the whole Void Well loop

[gusty abyss]

As smite warpath the only way I see it happening is with ravager dart, that is quite the opportunity cost

[leaden yoke]

so im running 1k5 corruption and died 5 times today because of Spirit Barrage

is there a way to prevent dying of it?

[alpine canopy]

Yeah I mean you're not really using a lot of throwing attacks on a warpath build. Like maybe vortex pennant and that one passive.

Even those two will hit the cap really easily just from an axe flying through a big pack (not that it matters too much)

[gusty abyss]

Yeah, thats only a concern for VK though, paladin just shotguns density with flame burst. VK isn't helpless though, time wave does decent

Besides, potion chance and spam use with Orians is also decent

(on density)

[waxen nymph]

Dont get hit
You are at 1.5k corruption, you are bound to get os

[leaden yoke]

yeah but i died because of this in 800 corruption before also

probally most of my deaths

see it and die in 1s with offscreen attack

[warped night]

I think I remember seeing a dev comment on reddit that spirit barrage is getting some tuning

[steep egret]

So I'm on my 6th character. Torn between shield bash and shield throw. Really want to do something with shields... Which do y'all prefer?

[leaden yoke]

ah yes

[frigid zenith]

shield throw sounds fun

[steep egret]

Yeah I'm not looking to take it past like 300c or so, may be doable

[frigid zenith]

it can probably go much higher I think

it seems that there's a lot of scaling for it now

[turbid dome]

plus the real challenge most of the time is scaling defense when your at high corruption

shield 👍

[waxen nymph]

It killed Uber Aberroth

So you are fine if you want to dive into it

[steep egret]

Ah very cool. I'll probably do both. Really enjoying the ease in which I can make a new character.

[dense tendon]

what's this shield throw build? ive only seen it used with javelin or hammer

is this it

[waxen nymph]

Yes, just the bottom line btw

[leaden yoke]

Wow so many ppl use VK symbol as pp

Actually its cool

[pseudo parcel]

significantly

[chilly peak]

As soon as you fight bigger packs you can see a ton of Smites going of when the axe hits the pack. As exactly the bigger groups are a problem at 1k+ the cooldown is even here a bit limiting.

[mighty cedar]

does anyone now of a good youtube vid detailing this weaver thing? I just got to my first one and I am VERY confused

[forest kelp]

Ytb frozensentinal

[mighty cedar]

tyvm

[mighty cedar]

Good for a void shield throw skit build!?

[winter copper]

No

On any shield throw u go sigeon shiled and 1x1 reflect idols

[waxen nymph]

What are you cooking these day Misha ?

[winter copper]

Nothinnn, i might make block fire vk warpath, but mostly done with the season and giga hyped for chrono odyssey in 3 days instead

[waxen nymph]

Chrono Odyssey ??

Need to look that up

[winter copper]

Its a playtest for mew mmo, has souls like combat and world and volatile reversal on all classes(or other time abilities)

[waxen nymph]

Oof, not my cup of tea (just watched a few videos)

[mighty cedar]

Even for shield throw smite?

[winter copper]

no for shield throw smite u probably want 4 smite proc idols

or at least 2'

[mighty cedar]

Wanting to do a void shield throw smite but one problem I see is single target bosses with nothing to bounce off of

[waxen nymph]

MA

[mighty cedar]

Ohio see

[astral crater]

What’s the most important part of a vk estrike build? Getting some loot for it rn

[waxen nymph]

World Splitter

[astral crater]

Got that for 20k off the bazaar with max base void dmg but nemesis bricked it I think, 60% bleed chance

At least it’s not minion damage tho

[ionic inlet]

Its fine you can get a lot of throw speed, use manifest armor but require more points

[mighty cedar]

I WORry about MA's survivability in later content

[ionic inlet]

Will probably die yea, I didnt play smite but I played shield throw but spell and had smite for the shred, AS and cleanse only.
Would maybe do more dmg as void who knows. I found fire smite low dmg

[steep egret]

Any decent guides for shield throw? I was gonna wing it like I have been, but honestly I'm just tired tonight

[sterile ore]

I saw a video for spin to win. I saw that most people start doing everthing else but spin. So, made warpath first and started spinning. DId the mana points first and it is fun. So building my own process to get to the build I want to end with, hopefully without redoing things along the way. What fun.

[steep egret]

Redoing things is 3/4 the fun

[sterile ore]

For me, the fun will be charting my own path to the final outcome rather than following a leveling build guide.

[mighty cedar]

Would Time Rot let me health leach with the void knight node or can only hits leach?

[ionic inlet]

Sigeons, have all idols with reflect and youre done. Get as much block chance you can get, scales over 100% block.
Go either phys or VK with void shield throw

Dont have a video or guide but thats the concept, Im sure theres reflect sigeons shield throw builds out there

[mighty cedar]

does increases to void dmg increase time rots dmg? even though it doesn't havea void tag?

[turbid dome]

yes

it does void damage so increased/more to void damage affect it

[mighty cedar]

okay tyvm

[bronze delta]

hey all! a quick question, i have this armor, and I am thinking of transferring the 3 erasing strike to a titan heart, would that also transfer the void damage??

[turbid dome]

yes +3 erasing strike and 115% increased void damage are one affix

also sealed affixes (the dodge rating in this case) can not be transfered onto a unique

[bronze delta]

Thanks @turbid dome , it wasn't very clear when i looked at forging it, it only mentioned the erasing strike

that i knew about the dodge but thanks regardless

[turbid dome]

no problemo

[bronze delta]

for a VK would you recommend titan heart?

[turbid dome]

assuming your doing erasing strike yeah

[bronze delta]

been stick with that sentinel body armor forever, but its not really "Stuck" 🙂

[turbid dome]

or rive

or really anything vk

leech is just the best recovery because you only need like 1% leech to instantly full heal every second

[bronze delta]

I am. Hesitent to lose the 55% physical resist however, AND the inability to self heal

which is what titan heart says

[mighty cedar]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/Bg89DG9o @turbid dome would this DOT abysall decay situatiuon with MA and shield throw work?

its specifically health regen that it stops (hold alt to see that in game)

gotcha

sure

let me show you what i have in the VK passive first and then i can linkanything else you think i should show, maybe erasing strike itself.

[turbid dome]

I'm gonna summon @waxen nymph for this, cause if this works then this build is cool

but I really have no idea how to shieldthrow

[turbid dome]

do you have a siphon ring on

[bronze delta]

umm lemme check

[turbid dome]

"siphon of anguish" the shade drops it constantly

[bronze delta]

no. A ring that gives 77% void damage and one for cooldown recovery and mana regen

[turbid dome]

ah

here go to last epoch tools and import your character to the builder

[bronze delta]

which shade? i may not be high enough level 🙂

that should do it i think

i know this spec won't take on crazy corruption, but i like the combination of anomoly, devouring orbs for adds and erasing strike when needed. I'm older so less clicky the better!

thanks @turbid dome

[ionic inlet]

Any hit, I dont know if a minion hit would count but you would want to reapply abyssal echoes as many times you can (and hit after each one ofc)

Shield throw works ofc, even devour orb does

There is a node to apply it again in top right

[wary drum]

I'm currently in the midst of farming for a +4ES/mana/hp% exalt fodder for 3LP Titan slamming. Out of these 3 armor pieces which one would be the best for imprinting? I'm thinking the mana + HP% since it has higher FP also a T2 fodder line I can try to despair away.

[mighty cedar]

I don’t think the minion hit will count but the shield and the lava burst should both be hits

[turbid dome]

nah this is a solid build, you get siphons from the shade during monos (just go far away from the center and his arenas show up)

I'm gonna make some changes to the passive tree and send it back to you

[mighty cedar]

I feel like I’m grasping at something that is “almost there” but in my head it’s still a bit clunky

[ionic inlet]

Yea, it would be 1 abyssal echoes on VR so kind of clunky? I liked the nodes on top right for 3 free more AE

[turbid dome]

@bronze delta https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/omkO4jnQ This should work better, tho this passive tree assumes you have a siphon to get leech from... also you probably want to get a different helmet as your hat prevents you from leeching off of critical hits

[ionic inlet]

1 second interval though

[mighty cedar]

The repeat nodes would be nice I agree. Idk I was looking at Time Rot doing most of the heavy lifting here

[turbid dome]

also get more vitality, vitality gives you %more melee void damage and +2 flat spell damage to your void spells

vitality ❤️

[ionic inlet]

No idea of time rot tbh but yeah maybe. It seems good on every skill

[mighty cedar]

There are lots of more for it too as far as I saw. What about that VR cooldown node that removes its travel

[turbid dome]

if your scaling time rot with the rotgrip node, yeah its gonna do big damage

time rot also has smart replace so just smack away

[mighty cedar]

Smart replace? And okay if I’m focusing timerot should I go for more hits through smite or keep the VR + AE?

[bronze delta]

@turbid dome digesting everything you're saying. Vitality gives me more melee void damage??

crap i did not know!

[mighty cedar]

The rot grip node is also worded very specifically which seems confusing

[bronze delta]

any suggestions? or should i slam vitality on something??

[turbid dome]

if an enemy has 12 stacks of time rot and you apply another stack, that new stack will only replace a stack if it will do more total damage than any of the stacks on it. ie: new time rot will do 100 total damage, a stack on the enemy will only be replaced if its going to do 99 or less damage with its remaining time

this is important because aliments applied by different skills or timed buffs will do different amounts of damage

so you don't need to worry about only hitting with your bigger damage skill

[turbid dome]

read your mastery passive

but yeah vitality can go on helmet, bodyarmor and boots... you can also get 1x2 weaver idols with up to +5 vitality on them

[ionic inlet]

Just lower CD, its what you want

[bronze delta]

gotcha. Ok i will focus on that for now.

[turbid dome]

this also boosts your health and your poison and necrotic resistance

(also you get +8 flat hp cause of eternal form, instead of the standard +6 per vit)

[mighty cedar]

I’m making an assumption the Time rot will take care of most of the trash and I’ll want to VR the big guys and that should be how it goes. I really wish I didn’t need MA for the bounces though lol

Hammers would probably be better overall in this case, no?

[bronze delta]

this was directed at me correct?

[turbid dome]

yeah

on the plan I sent you I put 10 points into eternal form

[bronze delta]

ok great, time to reprioritize vitality

[turbid dome]

but you really want 10 points in it for a ton of not die

[bronze delta]

dang ok i almost missed that link sorry. Got it now. Different helmet. oh boy, that's gonna be a tougher one. So far i have not needed a lot of leech but higher corruption i'm sure i will need it

[turbid dome]

yeah the game plan is to leech to full constantly so you only need to care about ehp vs max hit (basically how big a hit has to be to one tap you)

[bronze delta]

oh shit! now i understand why that one is SO IMPORTANT!

crap!

thank you!

[turbid dome]

math time

[bronze delta]

so you removed devouring blade and world eater

math is hard!

🙂 honestly i MOSTLY play casual, but its nice to have an OP spec

[turbid dome]

yup cause you want a siphon for doom chance but it also covers leech

doom aliment for context

16% more melee damage = very good

[bronze delta]

gotcha

[mighty cedar]

If I swapped out shield throw for hammer throw, and swapped out MA for? Smite? Would that synergistically work better?

[bronze delta]

ok trying to make sense of what you sent me, where did you remove points from to make it work?

what you sent me has 14 more points than my current spec, where you thinking lvl 100?

[turbid dome]

should be relentless, juggernaut, sorrow and steel, abyssal endurance, Devouring blade, world eater, Woe,

but also this plan is for a level higher than your current level

[turbid dome]

nah so when you level up again you have a plan

[bronze delta]

lvl up again? i was just going to respec right?

and redistribute points 🙂

you experts confuse me heh

[turbid dome]

yeah respec to be roughly like that -> keep playing and level up -> put points into your tree based on what I sent you

[bronze delta]

will do!

so vitality first, let me change that now, and without that helmet, man my crit will suffer big time

any suggestions on a helmet?

[turbid dome]

leonine helmet

enemy crit be gone

it will take a solid chunk of regearing for crit

[quick basalt]

So I searched maxroll, but couldn't find what I was looking for. Is anyone here a Warpath Pally?

[viral python]

hey guys i have some questions regarding judgement, im kinda new and im very confused about this skill. theres an upgrade that increases physical and fire pen of the skill but nowhere in the skill tag does it say physical so idon't know does this skill do phys dmg? thanks

[turbid dome]

tho dont forget you can get up to +14% flat melee crit chance on a twohanded weapon

[bronze delta]

did i pick up that skill? is it passive?

[turbid dome]

nah its an affix

oh whoops twohanders can aparently get 18%

so that would mean redoing your weapon with another 1lp beacon

[bronze delta]

dang ok. i'll work towards it. Also, Eternal form first and then Temporal Velocity correct?

the same way you laid it out>?

[turbid dome]

yeah eternal form is a must

and temporal velocity makes your dorbs (devouring orbs) spawn a rift on casting them so its just free damage

[bronze delta]

ok after the respec i can put 9 points in eternal form and go from there

[turbid dome]

sounds solid

[bronze delta]

however, i need to figure out the leech since i removed points from that

[turbid dome]

tho leave a point in devouring blades + one point in world eater until you get a siphon

cause leech

[bronze delta]

ok understood and done

hopefully i can still stay alive 🙂

so i need to aim for a leech ring right?

[turbid dome]

eternal form will assit with that

[bronze delta]

any suggestions?

[turbid dome]

yeah

go into a mono and go in a straight line away from the starting node

[bronze delta]

i have been keeping a LOT of crap so...

[viral python]

can anyone help me w/ sentinel skill judgement? im confused thanks

[turbid dome]

this is the ring the shade drops

[bronze delta]

shade is which age?

[turbid dome]

any of them

[bronze delta]

oh ok..

[turbid dome]

just go in a straightline until you see an echo that looks like this

then go there and beat up the shade

[bronze delta]

oh i see

level of mono doesn't matter?

[turbid dome]

yeah

the ring is his most common unique drop and doesn't need corruption or anything to be high

[bronze delta]

cool

and difficulty won't matter ok.. let me see

[turbid dome]

if you get the boots, sorry you hit a 16% chance to not get the ring and well go beat him up again

[bronze delta]

same age, he keeps showing up? and straight line right?

[turbid dome]

yup

beating up the shade raises corruption, but thats caped in not empowered monos

more corruption = more danger but also more loot

[bronze delta]

gotcha. ok damn i opened up the lvl 58 age like cray and still don't se ethat

let me rush through a few more

does it have a name i can search for by chance/

[turbid dome]

you can add physical damage to the punch part of it with +melee physical damage affixes, that node might also be a holdover from when the implicit damage on weapons was physical and not just +melee damage that converts to your skills damage type

[turbid dome]

Echo of a world

[viral python]

sorry again I'm new, so youre saying this skill isn't really physical? the first punch is fire damage?

[turbid dome]

its fire yeah

[viral python]

gotcha, so i guess that node is kinda not that useful cause it alters phys pen but I dont really do physical

[turbid dome]

it still gives fire pen too

it gives both physical and fire

[viral python]

yeah but... hmmm thanks i guess ill experiment

[turbid dome]

thats the part you gotta be ok with

it makes it just a really really big punch

[viral python]

I know and its really hard to plan

[turbid dome]

tis the challenge

but you'll figure it out

[viral python]

also thanks, but I don't know, something doesn't seem right, cause if i equip high % increase physical damage weapon, it gives me a huge boost in the tooltip dmg

[turbid dome]

huh

do you have a weapon with +melee physical damage (or something else granting that?)

I haven't done a judgement build in a while so I might just not know, but I would go to champions gate (divine era, ice area) and hit a training dummy and look at the damage number to see if its actually doing more damage or not

[viral python]

ILL TRY that

cause im trying builds right, i have this dagger that just has % increase physical damage, and it gives me this boost from 10k nothing equipped to 24k

[turbid dome]

oh wait

[viral python]

it doesn't have any other damage affixes just the implicits

[turbid dome]

thats the implicit flat damage

judgement has a base flat damage of 2 without a weapon (or the unarmed judgement gloves)

so the whatever implict melee damage on the dagger is adding to judgement's base 2 damage as fire damage

[viral python]

yes but why is it that if i use a different weapon, the damage goes down significantly

[turbid dome]

send a picture of the weapons?

[viral python]

23.8k on this one

24.5k on this one

that is the closest approximation I can get as far as weapon stats

sorry

[turbid dome]

honestly not entirely sure, it might be the better base attack rate and the generic crit?

[viral python]

yeah possible

[turbid dome]

go to the training dummies and do a single smack

and sadly just look at the numbers that appear

[viral python]

do the numbers change color depending on type

[turbid dome]

should only change for crit vs not crit

[viral python]

thanks

[turbid dome]

yeah its white for not crit and yellow for crit

[viral python]

I think you're right

thanks

damn the problem with the tooltip dmg is it doesn't update the dmg when you select the node

[turbid dome]

Yeah tooltip dps should only roughly be trusted

It can’t account for a solid number of things that super boost your damage

Thank we have training dummies tho

[viral python]

this is so freaking weird this doesn't make sense at all

I have the node for no consecrated ground. I ahve a staff that does spell dmg, this does 60-70k dmg crits

[turbid dome]

That weapon is over 100 flat melee damage

[viral python]

nvm

[turbid dome]

Flat melee is the base for all the melee damage

(Base + Added 1 + Added 2... ) x (Increased 1 + Increased 2...)x(More 1)x(More 2)x….

[viral python]

thanks just that I used a different set of weapons and it gave almost the same dmg

[turbid dome]

[viral python]

thanks a lot

Aint you off meta always

[waxen nymph]

Trying

I am going to do smth more meta and try to get Ubby down

Electrify Javelin

No shame I guess. Even full meta that thing is really not easy.

I pretend there is nothing like Uber. Else, so much would be wrong 😄

[cobalt blade]

[frigid zenith]

Vlad getting promoted to colonel soon

[frigid zenith]

man trying out this phalanx build and the attack speed is atrocious

[maiden rivet]

Do the forged weapons scale with both weapons if dual wielding?

[waxen nymph]

Yes

[leaden yoke]

is Nihilis good for Judgement Pally

[waxen nymph]

Probably
All lvl is always good

[leaden yoke]

I know Orian's Eye is best for extra tankiness but for lower corruption, maybe another option for more DPS?

[waxen nymph]

Are you playing the Vengeance/Judgement Conc Ground one?

[forest kelp]

Perhaps this is what you need; building it with Nihilis requires more luck than you'd think, and it'll likely take you quite a while to obtain it...

[leaden yoke]

yeah i do

without Nihilis I dont use aura, but using Nihilis with 2 extra points I can put into aura + Cleansing Light

[leaden yoke]

requires luck to get a good one amulet?

[forest kelp]

Good roll and slam more 🫂

[leaden yoke]

thats actually hurt

[forest kelp]

ppl usually build the orion eye cuz it's easier to find

[leaden yoke]

about the slam on Uberroth, what exactly defensive stats i should look at?

i used to dodge it on ES VK so idk how to "face tank" on Judgement pally

[forest kelp]

Block change, block effectiveness, res, armor?

The most crucial thing is that you need the cleanse node on Judgement because his debuffs are extremely brutal if you facetank Uberroth

[chilly peak]

The timeshattering slam has two components, one hit and a dot afterwards. Both are half phys and void dmg.

So a strong dot protection is probably needed to face tank that

[leaden yoke]

Got it. Ty guys

Cleansing Light is a must for me in this fight

As i personally hate the clean ailment on belt with 3 potion charges

[leaden yoke]

You said armor and suddenly the str slam apprears on my mind 😬

16 str on RR LP1 is good or pepega choice?

[frigid zenith]

I'd say it's one of the common choices

useful on any class, helps RR fill its stat requirements

[forest kelp]

still 2x7 + t5 after empower

[turbid dome]

ooo and an open affix

this is prime rune of havoc

[forest kelp]

I'll look for another sample with mana or % HP. I have a Citadel with MS+stats; it's a great imprint sample that saves me quite a few runes

[bronze delta]

@turbid dome thanks again for the help yesterday. Hey i wanted to ask, can you recommend anything else equipment wise based on my attached build link from before?

[turbid dome]

Honestly just upgrade your gear to useful exalted items

Like aim for T7 affixes of your important stuff

Then your gonna be well on your way to beating up the big void boi

[mighty cedar]

@waxen nymph #🔱┃sentinel message. Would this work? Or would I resonably want to go hammer throw smite for extra utility?

[bronze delta]

so exhalted items focus, and not legendaries right?

[turbid dome]

well you want the exalted items so one you have the very very strong affixes but two so you can smash them into uniques to make legendaries

[bronze delta]

ahh yes gotcha! ok will continue. Now i am still headed to orbys's fake cousin 😛

shade i mean

by the way once you get a lot of duplicate uniques, what do people usually do with them? just sell them?

[turbid dome]

if its one you want to use, cram them into the nemesis egg, that will either add random affixes to it or give it legendary potentinal

then if its like 1lp and you want more you can use the turtle woven echo to attempt to raise its lp (or reduce it to 0 lp)

[bronze delta]

gotcha will do! i have so much gathered now because i worry of not having something when i need it 🙂

should i ever charge a beacon if i don't need to? or does it just allow me to see more?

@turbid dome found TWO echos of a world!

next to each other, but they will reset once i do one right?

[turbid dome]

Yea

[turbid dome]

Beacons are great to charge

It reveals more echos on your map

[bronze delta]

gotcha but as of now once i do the one of the echos of the world everything resets and i am back to not knowing the map right?

[turbid dome]

Yeah

Once you get the ring from the shade then just go and murder all the timeline bosses

You’ll know when it’s empowered monos time

[forest kelp]

Now I just noticed that the immortal eye monsters are in Oerden's Watch

🦎

[waxen nymph]

Yeah, I saw that planner but I don't understand the plan

[mighty cedar]

So its a dot build, for time rot and AE for heavy hitting. or at least, that was my intenty. a throwing dot build lol

[bronze delta]

will do! is he a tough fight?

i probably will outlevel the shade by a bit since i went back to the lvl 58 area

[waxen nymph]

Yeah... It don't see it sorry

If you want Throw Void Dot
Hammer Throw Disintegrating Aura is your guy

[turbid dome]

The shade can be? But his big attacks are very telegraphed… just gotta learn the gimmick for which shade variant it is

Really the only challenging timeline bosses for most people are Lagon (because it’s Lagon and he will one shot you) and the lvl 90 zone bosses

Once you enter empowered monos, it really depends on how much corruption you’ve pushed and the quality of your build/gear

[wooden mountain]

I don't think so man. Hammer throw has some great multipliers for time rot and you even want it to chain. Rot Ripples will handle clear easy

[mighty cedar]

@waxen nymph @wooden mountain Okay so would this be a better route, I moved passives around and changed two skills. https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/QdMljqkB

Used skills:

Hammer Throw / Smite / Symbols of Hope / Volatile Reversal / Abyssal Echoes

[waxen nymph]

True

[wooden mountain]

uh not really. Time rot stacks are capped at 12 so if you're scaling time rot you really just want to use only whatever has the best multipliers

given that one of the main ways to scale time rot is to scale its chance to be applied, hitting 12 stacks with even slow hitting skills is pretty easy

throwing attack/smite idols is never going to be a void ailment build for that reason, hammer throw just has better multipliers for ailment scaling than smite so triggered smites are marginally useful in clearing and add like maybe 1% dps on single target

also you have a bunch of points in the healing stuff on smite but if you void convert smite it doesn't heal at all so those points are all wasted

sacrifice is pretty much the only node in smite which does anything for your time rot damage

and it's just less damage than hammer throw

which doesn't have a cooldown, doesn't cost too much mana to be sustainable and chains already

now throwing/smite is potentially a good setup for ailments which stack an unlimited number of times like ignite

[mighty cedar]

oh I didnt know its max stacks was 12

[turbid dome]

If your already using hammer throw, given time rot has smart replace, why not get smite to make sure your applying your other aliments faster

[bronze delta]

gotcha! i will always be behind, i'm generally a casual player that likes to maximize his character but within reason. so I am going afcter shade at lvl 58 and i am 82. My damage is basically 200k-300k per erasing strike so i think ok

[turbid dome]

The rotgrip node is required for how you scale it

[mighty cedar]

My thought was the more slow I get on someone, the harder hitting time rots i will get

[turbid dome]

Yeah your gonna kick that shades ass

[mighty cedar]

that node is worded very specifically, so specifically ion fact that its almost confusing

[turbid dome]

It’s worded weirdly yeah

[mighty cedar]

this should be better, now I just need to understand how to scale timerot correctly. it takes all 3 right? So slow, and application, and then the last one is the lowest of atk or cast speed?

[turbid dome]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/time-rot-void-knight-guide

this Maxroll guide is a build scaling timerot damage so it might help you understand how to scale it better

[turbid dome]

Yeah

Basically, get all the timerot chance you can, get a balance of attack and cast speed, while also getting slow chance

[mighty cedar]

okay glad I understood it

[turbid dome]

I know the slow chance one is weird with some sources of slow chance

[mighty cedar]

dont I need mellee stk, throing atk, and cast speed?

[turbid dome]

Oh crud yeah

Have fun figuring out that scaling conundrum

My crummy work wifi can’t load le tools but I trust emb

Or at least the build planner part

[mighty cedar]

oh wow went all in on the void skills ha

[turbid dome]

It crashes my phones safari

[mighty cedar]

I see where and why you are going with them though

[maiden rivet]

How does the Forge Weapon Interact with the Forged Spear Node and the Put to the Sword Node or do those only affect the Forge Strike itself?

[turbid dome]

If those nodes don’t explicitly reference forged weapons, then they shouldn’t do anything to forged weapons

[wooden mountain]

dev orb auto casts as you move giving you a small global void damage buff and causing void res shred, it will also apply lower damage time rots automatically which will kill weaker stuff without you needing to throw hammers at them

anomaly gives you some attack & cast speed, leech, CDR for itself, volatile reversal & abyssal echoes & it can be used to speed up how fast time rot deals damage

volatile reversal is a good traversal skill, increases their void damage received and casts abyssal echoes for you

Abyssal echoes contains a couple more damage buffs & blinds them

Hammer throw just has the most damage multipliers I know of for a generic ailment applying skill for sentinel which doesn't have a cooldown or huge cost attached to it

[turbid dome]

To tack on, anomaly’s quicksand should still be bugged and make it like 250% faster aliments or something stupid like that

*per point

[mighty cedar]

now the real question is do i start a new Sentinal or try and convert my current one lol

[turbid dome]

I don’t believe that was fixed

[wooden mountain]

convert definitely

it's easy enough

[turbid dome]

The brain icon person in town is easy respec

It’s only a little gold

[mighty cedar]

but gear and the like?

[wooden mountain]

levelling with a couple of T1 throwing damage & cost reduction rings on hammer throw and/or javelin is also easy

[turbid dome]

the end of time as two brain icon people, one is respec your passive tree the other is respec blessings

[turbid dome]

Stay on your current setup to get gear to then swap

[maiden rivet]

If I use
Sunforged Hammer, do the weapons I summon benefit from "+(25% to 42%) Ignite Chance per Forged Weapon"

[mighty cedar]

Good plan! I need to make a loot filter for this now, if I do one from LE tools, will it make it basedon my abilities or only loot I select

[wooden mountain]

honestly there's so much power built in to the VK passive tree & skills for scaling time rot that you you could absolutely do early empowered monos in yellow gear with a bit of crafting

[turbid dome]

No because your forged weapons don’t have forged weapons

Only you have forged weapons

[mighty cedar]

Things I am looking for on my gear, (flat atk speed, since that applies to throwing and melle right?), cast speed, Void dmg, void pen, damage over time, slow chance?

[wooden mountain]

frenzy effect is good because that's going to raise all the speeds you care about.

I don't think you can get generic attack speed on gear unless it's on a unique item, they're always divided up into throwing or melee attack speed on normal affixes & cast speed is separate too. It's hard to make a firm recommendation about what speed you want on which gear slot because only the slowest speed matters so whichever you have the least of you want more of basically.

Void damage, damage over time, armor, health, resistances, chance to slow, chance to apply time rot on idols, chest & helmet, chance to slow on weapons.
T1 rolls of +throwing damage and -throwing cost on rings might be helpful depending on how you're coping with mana, but the usual void knight void essences mana recovery should be enough

[turbid dome]

For a rough idea look at the Maxroll guide I sent

[mighty cedar]

tiem to farm 125k gold to respec

[wooden mountain]

hammer throw won't do nearly as much damage as the optimised javelin setup, but in exchange the mapping/clear is a dream

[mighty cedar]

i am looking for this guy to be a farmer so its def better than what I currently have now haha IDK how to showyou the abomination i am currently running but it isn't rpetty

[wooden mountain]

if you want to make your next build shield throw/smite idols then maybe you could scale ignites?

quite a different approach

[mighty cedar]

I LOVE shield throw, I am currently running this "shield throw ring of shield" build that bounces the shield off the shields and uses the lava burst to do damage but I am sure I am doing it wrong(is there a way to explort my character?)

[wooden mountain]

yeah you can plug the character name into last epoch tools build planner and it'll find your setup

or upload the save file if you are offline

hey all! I need to give up peek of the mountain 😦 so I can have crit leech capabilities, does anyone have any suggestions how i can make up the loss of critical chance? legendaries or otherwise

[leaden yoke]

do you guys take possessed nodes in weaver tree?

[frigid zenith]

i take possessed nem just for the guaranteed spawn

[leaden yoke]

what does possessed mob drop?

i see only amber but does it worth...

[turbid dome]

Get big flat crit chance on your weapon

[frigid zenith]

just amber but I like amber

[turbid dome]

Get all the flat crit chance on your skill’s tree

[frigid zenith]

for nem I just want the extra nemesis spawns

[bronze delta]

can you give me an example of what you mean? like just wait for an exhalted that has high crit chance?

[wooden mountain]

Shattered Worlds relic with +5% base crit

+base crit affix on weapon

[turbid dome]

Melee weapons can get flat melee crit chance as an affix

[wooden mountain]

what skill are you trying to cap crit on?

[turbid dome]

If I’m thinking of the right build their using shadow beacon with ES and dorbs

[bronze delta]

sory for the delay @wooden mountain @turbid dome Basically, i need to give up peek of the mountain which gives me about 30% crit, i'm playing a VK with Shadow Beacon, i'm not that high lvl yet, 82. So trying to find ways to make up for Peek without losing too much. At this stage, i could probably continue to use it, nothing can withstand more than 4-5 hits from me + echos

[wooden mountain]

are you using anomaly with time bubble leech or the doom ring?

[bronze delta]

er... sorry i'm not sure what you mean

i am definitely using anomoly

currently it increases my cit by a bit not much

[wooden mountain]

do you have points in the bottom right side of the anomaly tree which give you CDR, attack speed etc

well I'm thinking you could maybe keep peak of the mountain and get leech from your non-crit damage

[bronze delta]

aso using symbols of hope

[wooden mountain]

there's global leech & big leech buffs in the anomaly tree if you go for that

[bronze delta]

thats basically what i was doing embryo, but Engi suggested i switch gears a bit 🙂

time eater and void maw?

i have 2 in time eater and 1 in void maw

[wooden mountain]

okay

do you have much % increased void damage on your gear?

[bronze delta]

its not been too bad but i am low level and not even doing empowered yet 🙂

i think so

i have a lot, let me see

603%

[wooden mountain]

because I'd think with the 3% leech on the ring, the leech from anomaly and % increased you'd get decent sustain just from like dorbs, doom etc even if you can't leech from the critical bonks

[bronze delta]

thats what i am hoping 🙂 i will take on shade from home

remotely connected from work 😛

but don't want to risk losing due to a lag spike or what not

[turbid dome]

Yeah the suggestion was to swap off of leech on your tree once you get a siphon (doom ring) so you can put those points somewhere else

[bronze delta]

did that in passive already except for what you suggested

until i get siphon

anbd then switch to vitality

which means i should be able to do that later today

[turbid dome]

Noice

[bronze delta]

i'll have to sactifice this however:

that or 77% void damage

ring

also if lose to shade, will the echo disappear?

also side note do you guys have any suggestions fastest way to get weaver rep?

[turbid dome]

No the only thing you lose is the echo reward, but the shade echo doesn’t have that

So you can just keep fighting him till you win

if you have gazes of , a later mechanic, then you lose some of those i think

[bronze delta]

gotcha! by the way should i get purged horizon in the woven tree

i hear if you have it you can farm shade?

[turbid dome]

Is that the one that stops shade from giving corruption

[bronze delta]

yah

[turbid dome]

Kinda

The web should still reset with it

But a corruption catchup shade can appear later who spawns next to the starting node of the tree

But shades get better drop chance the farther from the middle you are

[bronze delta]

gotcha.

[turbid dome]

I’d personally grab the shade trap node in the upper left and the one in the bottom left that lets you get a shade gauntlet woven echo

That just helps getting chains (shade belt drop) and siphons for slammin’

[bronze delta]

let me see if i can find those

per a youtube video, i focused on opening all the item and weave picture frames so i can choose what i would prefer to drop? i did champions and loot lizards.

[mighty cedar]

@wooden mountain is this good for what we were working on?

[turbid dome]

Generally I recommend boosting all the weaver stuff first (the nodes directly up from the start)

[bronze delta]

ooh confluence of oblivion, got it. i can try to get that, need more points however 🙂

[turbid dome]

As more weaver stuff = more woven echos = more skill tree points

[wooden mountain]

FYI I messed up the hammer throw tree before, you don't want avatar of the spire, it doesn't do anything with Ricochet (chaining hammers), put that point into forceful impact or ballista instead

[leaden yoke]

sometimes laky

[turbid dome]

[bronze delta]

ok thanks guys! will keep you updated

[turbid dome]

Best of luck

[mighty cedar]

#🔱┃sentinel message this is good but, not that great sense its a smite idol right? and we are not using smite? I got excited cause it had a lot of affixs I am looking for

[bronze delta]

real quick! for anomolies time bubble, is there a reason i want time bubble duration at 80%, i can sacrifice one point there and just max our crit in decimation

since i can just keep recasting anomoly

[turbid dome]

So you hit the button less and have a bigger uptime

[bronze delta]

fair, not only that, the more crit i do now, the LESS i heal 😛

[turbid dome]

[bronze delta]

is manipulation or decimation better in that tree

faster casting and attacking or more crit?

[turbid dome]

Great math question

Tho faster attacking also has a defense component cause you can move sooner to not get smacked by the giant one shot attack

[bronze delta]

umm yeah

bah ok for now i just keep things as they are and see where it goes

i'm out for now!
