🔱┃sentinel

[warped night]

I would love to see the usage stats on retribution lol

0.0000001%

[winter copper]

and my favorite one: necrotic taken as phys affix and phys dmg while wielding a mace

[turbid dome]

I think draven used the retaliate skill in base sentinel tree for something

[waxen nymph]

Hey the last one was nice for my Warpath this season

[turbid dome]

Why do phys when you have the fire pen thing in warpath

[warped night]

also you have to invest 8 passive points at the very end of the tree in order to get DoT reduction, but you're already locked into basically everything else and don't have points to spare

[winter copper]

i hope it also used endurance while channeling warpath, would fit together

🤣

[warped night]

just combine it with face of the mountain duh

lol

[winter copper]

its %

hahah

[warped night]

yeah that gives you more block chance

[winter copper]

oh big brain

🤔

[mental flare]

also not true melee

[turbid dome]

Yea

[warped night]

yes my brain is indeed huge thank you for noticing 😏

[turbid dome]

Big question time

In your opinion, is rive true melee

[warped night]

face of the mountain + endurance while warpath + block chance warpath node = ez 100% block?

[warped night]

yes

[mental flare]

only if physical, void rive not true melee

sorry gang

[warped night]

hot damn

[waxen nymph]

Nah

[mental flare]

big physical 2 handed do physical damage from close range = true melee
otherwise = false melee

[warped night]

lol that's very restrictive

[mental flare]

that's why i can't find any good ring for my builds (exclude red ring)

wtf is fire damage? 🗣️

[chilly peak]

This can't be wrong!

[turbid dome]

The damage you take when you fall into lava

[mental flare]

big violet axe

may get a pass tbh

[mental flare]

Do we have an excel sheet with some 2 handed weapon analysis? like some BiS for phys dmg, void, crit and shit

[warped night]

I just do it based on vibes

but tbh I don't think there's generic BiS for damage types since the uniques do have alternative functions that make them better for certain niches

[mental flare]

truth nuke

[warped night]

the best ones are like -- apathy's maw, sword catcher, world splitter, event horizon (extra niche), plague dragon's tongue, clotho's needle, black blade of chaos (also extra niche), and maybe jasper's searing pride

leviathan carver is a hard maybe, but I feel like it gets eclipsed by plague dragon, sword catcher, or a well-rolled clotho these days

the base speed is cheeks too

[mental flare]

i'm really tempted to try sword catcher all crit multistrike (no smite since that's not true melee)

Sierpin Fractal Tree looking amazing too

[warped night]

I'm sure it would work well. sword catcher is really great for attack speed focused melee builds and got way better with the introduction of shattered worlds

[warped night]

yeah that one's good too, but I think gets edged out by plague dragon's tongue a lot of the time

definitely a good option if you don't need the attack speed or base crit

[turbid dome]

A well rolled clothos is just strong af

Especially for warpath

Get that hella parry chance

[warped night]

yep, but good luck getting one that's well-rolled lol

[mental flare]

let's go gambling

[turbid dome]

Tis the challenge

[mental flare]

had to change my name on this server

⚔️

[forest kelp]

Holy Warpath is waiting for a sexy Needle here

🦎

[turbid dome]

[mental flare]

for two handed melee weapons with +100 melee dmg, it's crit multi% + flat dmg the best affixes to slam? having in mind 100% crit chance or crit + increased % dmg?

[warped night]

flat melee crit if you're not capping crit chance by other means, then flat melee damage, then either multi or increased damage depends if you have a large deficit in one

attack speed is also important if it's a spammable attack

[waxen nymph]

Inc Dmg 💀

[warped night]

I mean, if you have like 200% increased damage and no attribute, then yeah increased damage does help

[mental flare]

i mean, this looks pretty strong if i'm not reading this wrong

[zealous lava]

I rarely use guides in this game, this has got to be the strongest sentinel i've ever made. I face tanked the boss with the 3rd epoch stone and killed him in 35 seconds.

[mental flare]

idk what boss is that but this is an aberroth oriented build

[zealous lava]

My comment wasn't aimed at your post, just randomly came in to share my accomplishment. The ruined temple of eterra where the voice is asking you questions before you find him.

[mental flare]

Oh sorry lol

nvm

[knotty jay]

Unfortunately cannot reach that with my point allocation on throw. Thanks tho!

[zealous lava]

no worries!

[gleaming pine]

judgement nerfs confirmed

[astral crater]

I am in despair

[gleaming pine]

saw it coming. dont think they'll compensate

[astral crater]

It’s over, no more tanking for me dawg, nerfs are finally calling my name

It’s the end of the line for me, but not for you. Cheesing uber is what you do best ain’t it? Just keep grinding.

timeshattering slam one shots

[gleaming pine]

yeah i'll be jumping on the next cheese build once it gets discovered, but we'll have to do ethical kills while we wait

[knotty jay]

Shield Bash builds are super tanky too

[astral crater]

I just got an lp rr too with max roll t7 healing effectiveness…

We must find a way to facetank uber and I don’t care how long it takes

[mental flare]

where?

[gleaming pine]

In ask devs

[knotty jay]

I regularly get over 20K raw armor (80%mit) and 80% block mitigation (100%chance) on top of 2 red rings +passives and sending a quarter of incoming damage to a shield minion... The only worry is standing in a dot and even that can be handled with armor DoT%.

[astral crater]

Reply to questions about uber judgement runs

[mental flare]

meanwhile weakest rogue doing 10000000 quintillion crit damage

not against nerfing judgement tho since it isn't true melee

[astral crater]

Without tankiness judgement is just agony and despair and not for the enemies

[snow wing]

is capping block chance will help me stay alive higher corruptions ?

[turbid dome]

yes

[snow wing]

It block hits only or evrything hits and spells?

And how much block effectivnes i need

[chilly peak]

No matter if it is melee, bow, spell or trowing - any damage is usually considered to be a hit or a dot.
Any hit can get blocked.

Block Effect is super useful and you can stack as much as possible

[turbid dome]

What Volin said

The main reason you want to cap it is cause if your at 80% block chance, 1/5th of the time your block does nothing and you just die

[autumn prairie]

do Favor caches also give favor with The Woven?

[alpine canopy]

No, just CoF or MG

[autumn prairie]

time to unspec then

[alpine canopy]

It does still count as a cache to proc the cache imprint

[autumn prairie]

for wp vk, melee leech blessing or all resistences?

probably resistences to have more flexible gearing?

[turbid dome]

A single siphon will cover all your leech needs

Grand blessing of humanity is basically always the pick

and for the siphon, the only stat that needs to be a high roll is doom chance, both leech rolls could be minimum and your still gonna leech to full every second

[autumn prairie]

🫢

[turbid dome]

Not the best possible but def good

[autumn prairie]

another blessing q; void damage or 50% to shred void res?

[waxen nymph]

Crit Multi ?

[gusty abyss]

shred, unless you can reliably max it trough some other means

[forest kelp]

Blessing will automatically keep the highest one for you, except for the one you are equipping and Grand Patience of Herkir

[turbid dome]

If your not already keeping void shred capped, take void shred

Tho void shred is the easiest to cap without the blessing

Then there’s cold shred which I think the only source is the blessing

[autumn prairie]

where can I see my void shred stat and cap? I dont see it under damage

[turbid dome]

If there’s not a thing that says void shred chance, then Your gonna need to find it on your passive skill tree and your skills skill tree

It caps at 10 stacks on a single enemy

[chilly peak]

You have void shred in Anomaly and DO, right Kadrek?

[turbid dome]

And void cleave

[chilly peak]

Testing on a dummy should give you a good idea where you are in terms of shred.
If it is the above two sources, you have around 5 stacks with DO, and reach max stacks with Anomaly. That is not 100% uptime of all possible stacks, but as you can add in Anomaly when dmg spikes are needed, I feel that could do the job

[chilly peak]

He was WP, so probably no VC

[autumn prairie]

oh yeah they do

[turbid dome]

Oh right

[autumn prairie]

ill try taking void dmg and see if it feels better then

[chilly peak]

Just to bring this one up again. I don't say it is better (I'm the guy who rather feels damage than to do the math), but it is a good option

[autumn prairie]

I would've taken mult if it was offered, but my crit chance isnt 100% yet

[chilly peak]

Was just about to say Crit Chance can also be an option, to have a bridge to Shattered Worlds

Just see what suits you best now, you can anytime switch to a different blessing

[turbid dome]

Yeah

[chilly peak]

Why would one facepalm on this belt, I don't get it. Did I oversee something
#👑┃item-showcase message

[turbid dome]

The blessing respec merchant is amazing

[chilly peak]

It was a beautiful masterpiece to me (even more as the missed stat was void damage, so a perfect exalt to make something of this belt)

[gusty abyss]

Its super rare, so maybe they are because its not double t7?

[chilly peak]

Ok, if it is that, I gladly take the facepalm 😄

[warped night]

either way it's a sick roll

sometimes people wait forever for the "perfect" slam fodder, and either never get it, or it misses and then they rage quit

[turbid dome]

Yeah

[chilly peak]

For me, a triple exalt belt with the perfect affixes on it, with the most important roll even max roll, that is "perfect" slam fodder 😄 How greedy can people be, and how much time and resources they have. This belt easily was a week of farming belts

But I'm glad if it was that.

Really thought there may be any "known issue", "bug", or whatever I may have overseen when doing this slam

[turbid dome]

Get all of that

Mess up the slam

Cry

Join the school of slam jammin’

[chilly peak]

That's why I even slammed a double T6 belt without hesitation 🙂 This slam couldn't miss. I chose cleanse ofc, so the outcome was either cleanse, dmg and a bunch of HP or cleanse and massive HP - couldn't go that wrong 🤷‍♂️

[turbid dome]

[chilly peak]

I also waited too long for slams in the past.
I rather want a double T6 chains to play with. It has no value if it either waits forever for a slam or I miss the 7/7 and have a half brick

[forest kelp]

HC no life

[chilly peak]

That's not true. You have **one **🤭

[waxen nymph]

VC is fun

@cobalt blade

[waxen nymph]

Oo

[chilly peak]

It looks so clunky that it almost physically hurts me. But funny

[waxen nymph]

Hey !!

Its not clunky

Bossing isnt great I have to say

But Echoes

https://tenor.com/view/orgasm-ah-ahh-yes-exactly-gif-14893721

[autumn prairie]

first abby kill got a nice amount of loot , 2lp flames and 1lp seed+null, idk if its better than what I have tho

[chilly peak]

Gratz you both🎉

[waxen nymph]

I feel like I need to up my goals with builds

I just threw stuff from my stash, nothing fancy and I killed Abby

And can do 300c

Is that what it feels like to play good build ?
I dont know anymore

[autumn prairie]

still dont have chain tho

[chilly peak]

And that is how I ended with those 14 chars this season 🤷‍♂️

[waxen nymph]

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

I mean tell me if I am delusionnal

This is nothing fancy

[chilly peak]

And the worst part about it... this stash grows and grows ... 🙈

[chilly peak]

Obviously not. I mean, where should we start ... 😄 You wear uniques... 🙂

[waxen nymph]

Sorry I dont understand what you mean

[chilly peak]

Probably I got you wrong? I thought you were saying "this is not a fancy char" (planer) and I wanted to agree, yeah, not fancy at all

[alpine canopy]

Non legos

Definitely not fancy

[turbid dome]

[autumn prairie]

I love legos

[turbid dome]

Lego my ego waffles

[waxen nymph]

We are on the same page then

[chilly peak]

Ye, this

[alpine canopy]

VC mapping

[chilly peak]

Uniques was meant most literally

[waxen nymph]

Waiting for the perfect 4xt7 to slam

[turbid dome]

+5 melee damage

[waxen nymph]

So gud

This one hurts a bit

Like, can I please get like 2 mid rolls

[chilly peak]

But now that you bring your video together with this planer, I can see what you see in this build 🙂

[waxen nymph]

I need a Water Slash Void Cleave Skin

[chilly peak]

They might have one in #🧙┃mage 😩

[waxen nymph]

It doesnt fit too well

Dont want to start planning to early but that quick peak into VC really convinced me

I might start it next season

[alpine canopy]

One thing that's always dissuaded me from running EE is the high level req. But I'm sure it does decently well up until that point anyway

But I'm stuck starting lich either way

[waxen nymph]

We will see the changes to Lich and Melee Lich

[turbid dome]

Lich gaming

[gusty abyss]

I am really curious to see what they plan to do with lich, that low life playstyle needs some serious EHP buffs to work out.

[forest kelp]

tripple t7, but something wrong

[turbid dome]

Give it more than 1.5 melee skills is a good start

And stop the anti synergy between wanting low life ward and death seal

Also maybe take it’s skill back from warlock

[gusty abyss]

Maybe the pre week unique/talent changes on lich can get me away from playing warpath again 😄

[turbid dome]

Oh right and the weird not really synergy between life drain and low life ward

I guess also the wanting a bunch of leech and being life based but not really having any actual reason to want that?

Lich just feels like it’s pulled in 4 different directions and all 4 are lacking and don’t like each other

[gusty abyss]

That actually feels like a really accurate discription

[turbid dome]

Cause there’s

• low life ward (the like 40 int that harms health regen)
• high life leech (reaper form)
• no ward (death seal)
• melee(?)
• one working build using soul mass and poison

Reaper form is objectively the coolest skill and I love how it feels melee wise

Just again no support

Whereas like VK has a bunch of things that all support each other

[barren spire]

Hey guys, i just picked up my character again.
What should I try to upgrade?

The new lich skill in S3 is a melee skill, but we will see how it goes

Either way, I will likely want to mess with the half health + weaver ring thing as a silly thing

[turbid dome]

Yay

[autumn prairie]

I replace crab ring with Flames of Midnight right?

[autumn prairie]

my 2 suloron steps have abysmal rolls
le sigh

[warped night]

good thing you can reroll them now

I saved my suloron's that ended up with 2 garbage affixes from the nemesis egg specifically to reroll my 2lps with crap rolls

[autumn prairie]

I'll make spirit of fire my farming timeline then so I can drop more of them

[autumn prairie]

what should I put on this, mov speed?

[forest kelp]

Ms, hybrid health or phy res

[autumn prairie]

I just sold all of my res exalts lul

are suloron steps the best boots for vk?

[little lodge]

I think Darkstride are considerably better for mapping since they are much faster. I was also recommended to use Darkstride for learning uberroth for the same reason.

[autumn prairie]

I was thinking of darkstrikes aswell, and they are easier to gear with, but if steps are more damage

[little lodge]

You can quantify how much more damage Sulorons are by using this spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DtBHrLQzlimGUn6an-pOCVKqZFHzMvIdJ-krF_F0NsM/edit?gid=0#gid=0.

For my character, equipping them is +18% DPS, which is a lot, but I like movement speed even more.

[autumn prairie]

honestly idk what I am supposed to do with my gear atm

I feel like I need more of everything, damage and survivability

imma send my equipement but its not much different from what it was a couple of days ego, and you guys can suggest me what to do

[little lodge]

BTW you mentioned above that you were planning to farm in Spirits of Fire to get more sulorons

If you're CoF, it's much easier to stock on boots prophecies - you'll be drowning in sulorons and darkstrides in no time, including dropping 2LP versions every now and then

For ESVK advice, I was personally following https://reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/1kgr5xh/i_will_help_critique_your_erasing_strike_build_if/

500+ comments with Q&A from some kind soul who helped folks improve their builds

[autumn prairie]

I'm playing warpath unfortunely

but will keep in mind if I switch to ES

[little lodge]

Oops I misremembered! Apologies for the confusion

[autumn prairie]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/B4ZZ8G9A already tell me what should I start with

I have some things to work with, some suloron steps and darkstrides, an anchor I need to try to put some LP on, some maws to try to get to +2 lp, a 2lp titan heart, a 2lp midnight and syphon, etc.

but I just sold alot of ex's to make space in my stash, they were mostly all generic resistences or % that werent too useful

[autumn prairie]

I need to choose a timeline to farm on anyway
what else should I go for then

I need to try to get as close as max blessing in fire anyway aswell

[little lodge]

I don't have experience with warpath, but my main guiding factors would be: 1) boss drops, 2) maxing out blessings. E.g. for ES, I'm camping The Black Sun for world splitter.

[autumn prairie]

whats the echo that has alot of nemesis?

[waxen nymph]

Nemesis Tower

[autumn prairie]

also how does this person manage to get 100% reduced crit damage received? https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/echo-warpath-void-knight-guide

[waxen nymph]

They dont

They have 85% from the helmet and thats it

And honestly that kinda enough

[autumn prairie]

mmh

[waxen nymph]

Unless you are in HC

[autumn prairie]

damn this would be perfect to slam on some unique, or if it was the reduced crit base

[waxen nymph]

~https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/BGn0zGxQ

I think this is overcooked

I saw this line and I want to smth with it

[autumn prairie]

I got one tapped and it says it only dealt 500 dmg lol

[waxen nymph]

Its a dot

This is the last tick

[timber mountain]

hey guys anyone have a fun multistrike build?

[alpine canopy]

I prefer the term "well done"

The battle standard might give jav a bit too long of a cooldown

[autumn prairie]

should I try to slam this on a 2lp flames of midnight

[keen radish]

You'll need to add a fourth affix

Idk honestly I wouldn't but if hp and crit are what you need then I guess you can go for it

I'd wait for a better ring though personally

[autumn prairie]

what would you put on it?

[keen radish]

I don't know what you're playing so I wouldn't know. It's also 3:40 am so I couldn't trust myself to look over your build right now. But personally I'd wait until I have a ring with 4 decent affixes, 3 at tier 5 and one t7 exalted that you guarantee

[autumn prairie]

I'm wp vk

[keen radish]

Right now if you craft a fourth affix you might go to 0 forging potential right then and there, and if you miss the slam you can potentially roll a tier 1 affix which would be the same as slamming a 1lp ring pretty much

Basically unless that ring hits the jackpot when it comes to forging potential it just doesn't have enough. You should try crafting it though

[autumn prairie]

I mean it didnt come out terrible

the t4 phys damage is the only very bad line

[keen radish]

I mean yeah go for it if you want, 2lp on Flames isn't too hard to get (7.2% with rank 8+ CoF)

[autumn prairie]

do you think it should have better stats?

[keen radish]

I don't know what stats are best for you, if those 4 affixes are the 4 best you can slam it and have a 2 in 3 chance of getting a tier 5 affix

[autumn prairie]

the guide I am following had crit and health

[keen radish]

Then yeah go for it tbh

You can always get another flames later if it misses

[autumn prairie]

le sigh

[modern wadi]

Playing a more or less standard judgement pally. Never attempted Aberroth (normal). Should be able to just facetank all his attacks, right?

[keen radish]

Happens 🫂

[keen radish]

Yep

Depends on your gear of course but if you're geared then yeah, just avoid the shred stacks (necrotic slash)

[autumn prairie]

frick me

enough last epoch for today

[modern wadi]

I'll have to watch a video to figure out what those look like, thanks

[mental flare]

https://tenor.com/view/book-of-boba-fett-the-mandalorian-this-is-the-way-the-book-of-boba-fett-mandalorian-gif-24825263

[mental flare]

hard to see but are all those small hits your multistrike + echoed multistrike?

[mental flare]

nihilis there

[mental flare]

working on that rn but nothing till next cycle, need to see the new uniques first

[waxen nymph]

Why?

[mental flare]

the only strong one or hard to get

[forest kelp]

Blood rain in the cave, is this a visual bug?

[waxen nymph]

Yup

[modern wadi]

Facetanked Aberroth without any issue. Logically the next step is doing the same to the Uber version but I probably want to farm a few upgrades before then 👍

[gusty abyss]

I would not go battle standard but go all in on siege barrage and armor shred. Couple of throws should fully shred the target for your cleave judgement combo.

[waxen nymph]

I was looking through the 2h sword/axe for this build

I was like
Oh! Nice! Maybe I can use Volcanus for some extra hipster pts!
Ah no... Needle exists

More Flat Dmg
Same speed
Got flat crit
Got strength

[gusty abyss]

Yeah only thing volcanus really has is leech, but you don't need that for a melee build. For a spell build the spell power is kinda low.

The only sub class I could see it on is FG with a shield as a poor mans sceptre

Not sure its even good at that, because you lose haste >.>

[waxen nymph]

And also... Spell FG

[gusty abyss]

shield throw lava burst trigger smite? 😄

[waxen nymph]

I mean sure... But how do you get Crit
Also less Attack speed is rough

It would be just a worse Paladin

[gusty abyss]

no idea, to many downsides and maybes, never tried it therefor

[waxen nymph]

I played that a'bit on pala

It's sweet

[gusty abyss]

besides, could just siege barage and full on smite

[waxen nymph]

But this would just be shooting yourself in the foot

[waxen nymph]

Interesting

What I would love is being able to scale Furnace from Smelter Wrath

[forest kelp]

Does increasing the mana cost of Avatar of Regret affect the 60 mana consumed by Time Loop?

[gusty abyss]

It shouldnt, time loop is consumed, not cost.

[forest kelp]

I see

[autumn prairie]

alright so what do I gotta do to make this not happen again

[waxen nymph]

Dodge?

[autumn prairie]

I saw no animation telegraphing

[gusty abyss]

Looking at your planner, I think you just need more health mostly. Boots could be on a better base type which helps armor, could have hybrid health. Belt can have hybrid health. Gloves can be 2LP, can have hybrid health. Chest can be 2LP, can have % health. Helm could have %health.

[waxen nymph]

Skyqula spin smiting since 2023

Legends say he is still spinning

[gusty abyss]

I have spin pala on 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.1 re and 1.2. VK on 1.1, 1.1 re and 1.2. You might be on to something.

[waxen nymph]

Skyqula pov

[gusty abyss]

Kinda cool to see the insane power creep of gear though.

From 1 smite per second at 20k to soon tickling 200k smites, 11 times a second under the right conditions...

[waxen nymph]

Nah... It's fine

[autumn prairie]

I couldnt reach this dude because the eggs on the ground blocked me lol

[forest kelp]

Dying from stepping on an egg is real

[alpine canopy]

Mike said SW was close to getting the ability to turn while channeling in S2, but wasn't finished in time (due to desynch issues iirc?). Would help a lot if they get it working!

[waxen nymph]

Would not help Furnace

😅

[silk wasp]

Someday they'll figure out SW. I have faith

[forest kelp]

Tried to slam for my Warpath VK but it wasn't successful

[turbid dome]

Keep calm and slam again

[forest kelp]

I see many people like +3 Darkwoven Threads, what is their true purpose?

[forest kelp]

6 times and only one succeeded

[turbid dome]

Lucky

[warped night]

What is darkwoven threads 🤔

[warped night]

Ah

[gusty abyss]

But: https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/1kixuzo/psa_do_not_take_the_darkwoven_threads_increased/

Not sure what it actually does

[warped night]

I don't know tree nodes by name, just the effect 😅

Same goes for skills and passives

[gusty abyss]

If it actually reduces, I could see people take it to reduce spike damage

[turbid dome]

I wonder how their going to nerf judgement

Like just an expected reduce it’s DR amount and call it a day

Or is it going to be something else

[barren spire]

[mental flare]

never thought a lot about this but if i have 100 flat melee damage (from the weapon) and some 50% increased physical damage on a ring, i will have 150 total damage right? so while focusing on only 1 damage type there is no reason to take %increased melee damage, that peaks at 329% over a particular element/source, that peaks at 384% increase

[mental flare]

2LP suloron + cap res?

[barren spire]

dunno Im asking :3

[mental flare]

didn't you already defeated ubby?

or is this a merchant guild based build?

[turbid dome]

If 100 flat and 50% increased are your only two stats yes you would do 150 damage a hit

In general yes more specific affixes get bigger numbers than more general ones so unless your doing a split damage build, go for your specific damage type

[mental flare]

ty engi, do you know if i need to have healing hands on the skill bar (or whatever is it's name) to proc it if i take this?

really need the slot for a movement skill

[turbid dome]

Only skills with cooldowns need to be on the bar to be triggered (like dorb)

Tho you can also take a node to make healing hands a movement skill

[mental flare]

hmm that's why sigil do not work anymore that way

[turbid dome]

Sigils got reworked

So kinda yes kinda no

[mental flare]

yep, i never use the active ability tbh

[turbid dome]

It needs to be on your bar to activate the passive gain

Or else I guess every sentinel with 15 points in paladin would just start generating sigils

[mental flare]

do you know if i auto cast healing hands but the AOE hits an undead, this effect take place? or it need to be exclusively (does this word exist?) casted on the enemy

[turbid dome]

That should work on auto cast

[alpine canopy]

I have faith that it would help a lil at least 🥲

[turbid dome]

It would say direct cast if you needed to directly cast it

[mental flare]

so much time being a healing hands atheist

i repent

[turbid dome]

We love the sentinel magic for its our boi the sentinel manifesting it through sheer force of will

[forest kelp]

We are merely those assimilated by the void

[barren spire]

Not solo, only with some clan friends

[astral crater]

Facetank him

[barren spire]

I can't currently 😭
Tell me how and I'll gladly do it

[autumn prairie]

I saw this and removed that node too but I couldnt find anything conclusiv

[astral crater]

Judgement pally with a good build can but it’s getting nerfed next season or later

With my current gear I can tank basically everything except when there are a ton of puddles and he does the slam at the same time

Other than that I shrug everything off

[mental flare]

not what i was expecting on a ring but i forgot heirloom was pretty decent with 3 res + flat health

underrated

[barren spire]

Maxroll build?

Holydr4gon — 8:20 PM
it just bugs me off that i have basically closed a build and I can't do the uber thing with the build that should destroy it lol

[astral crater]

Not exactly but the setup is about the same, the one I’m talking about prioritizes survivability over dps

Think it’s on yt, expensive but I used a mix of it and the max roll build to facetank uber earlier on, even if I couldn’t facetank absolutely everything

Still could tank the slam if I had enough ground, ward, and used holy aura active buff to get more healing effectiveness

Or just get lucky with gear and play timerot jav

Polar opposites but it does insane dps while being one shot by most things

[waxen nymph]

I hate it so much

Increase duration of stun received

[astral crater]

“Boy I can’t wait to fight this boss!” -proceeds to get stunned for double the duration

[autumn prairie]

whats the map where I can gamble LP?

[astral crater]

Turtle

[mental flare]

a price must be paid

[autumn prairie]

https://tenor.com/view/i-like-turtles-zombie-kid-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-tortoise-tortuga-gif-16340543

[mental flare]

just remembered that warpath cannot get stunned while channeling so all the advantages none of the disadvantages

[autumn prairie]

got a 3lp of it, is it an actually good ring

[mental flare]

yeah it's not that hard to get an LP3 and slam some powerful exalt there. top tier ring with good rolls

congrats

the max fire res and health is amazing

[autumn prairie]

arent the rolls terrible?

literally lowest cold res

I guess the health is high

[mental flare]

ele res is pretty common in other sources

even passive tree

it's bad but it doesn't ruin the ring

[autumn prairie]

omg the turtle delivered something

https://tenor.com/view/turtle-dancing-shower-gif-10258323567851770606

idk what I'll do with this, but I have it ig?

[turbid dome]

Oh how the ladle has fallen

[autumn prairie]

if I dont want to increase my corruption because I dont feel strong enough should I put points into that one weaver tree skill?

[astral crater]

Sure if you wanna grind out the loot from shades

[chilly peak]

in the end it is a QoL node that saves you from lowering the corr after pushing
I like it for that sometimes too

[mental flare]

the turtle giveth and the turtle taketh

[astral crater]

Go judgement pally and get like 4 or 5k ward on top of it

[autumn prairie]

is judgement pally like the best build in the game or something

[waxen nymph]

It can be immortal

Or very close to

[autumn prairie]

hows the damage/clear speed tho

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/echo-warpath-void-knight-guide in this build they put strenght on the rings, why not vit?

is str more damage than vit?

or is it coz its also armor?

or maybe u simply cant get vit on rings idr lol

[silk wasp]

Judgement spam is slow as balls. Aura is pretty quick

[mental flare]

vit give some life and a little bit of more damage if VK. but strength gives you armor AND damage if the skill scale with that, so prob more return with strength than vitality

[mental flare]

can be, weird since all others are available i believe, dunno for attunement

[narrow robin]

im making a Judgement Paladin

Is "TheFloorIsCatholic" A good name for him?

[astral crater]

Horrid clear speed aight damage at most but basically immortal with the right gear

If i had a beter orian's eye I'd just not move at all during uberroth except necrotic slashes and when he runs away

Tho even now thats basically what i do except gotta be mindful of too many puddles + spin slam combo

[slim notch]

Yo, does anyone have a multistrike-electricify loot filter available? 😄

[forest kelp]

Search ytb bro

I remember some bald guy created a build guide and shared it

[waxen nymph]

That's Perry the pig

[forest kelp]

lvling item for my Warpath build 🤣

[cerulean sorrel]

[autumn prairie]

that shit is almost better than my axe lmao

[autumn prairie]

bro how am I finding tensof siphon of anguish but no shattered chains at all ever

[waxen nymph]

Drop chance scale with Corruption and Distance from the center

[autumn prairie]

ya but this is still insane

[chilly peak]

Confluence of Oblivion woven echo helps

[waxen nymph]

Not really no

Also you are above 120 c?

[autumn prairie]

300+

[waxen nymph]

Oh btw @cobalt blade
Yesterday I did a 2.4 millions crit on a boss with Void Cleave

[autumn prairie]

if I take unique belt prophecies do I have more chances of finding one?

[waxen nymph]

No

It's a boss drop

[cobalt blade]

Season 3 Vlad nerf confirmed

[autumn prairie]

apparently stymied fate is just as rare as chains but I drop way more of those

in fact I drop it like every single time

[south ledge]

This season I saw the first time 100m+ crit with smelters wrath, pretty satisfying 😄

[waxen nymph]

On a mob?

[autumn prairie]

I have a couple of confluence now, how many echoes of distance from the center should it be to have max drop rate?

I'll just drop some towers and farm nemesis while I get there

[south ledge]

On the training dummy

Highest hit was 120m I think

[sour rivet]

check Loot tab here (use scaled values toggle):
https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/npc/ShadeofOrobyssBoss

graph:
https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/monolith-scaling?b=ShadeofOrobyssBoss

[south ledge]

Event horizon, with the apocalypse shield. The attack speed slow down multiplies the smelters wrath damage to ridiculous amounts with the more damage while channeling nodes

The build would actually be viable damage wise, but it's not sustainable defense wise on 1k Corr+ or Uber abby

[waxen nymph]

Ah I was talking on mobs
Still amazing!!
That's a 15 millions crit !!!

[south ledge]

Even tried the majasa shield, but survivability really is a huge topic, when you need to stand still for 3-4 seconds 🥲

[waxen nymph]

Indeed

[autumn prairie]

so the max % is always 37,5%

[autumn prairie]

got the max blessing now I rly dont want to phys red blessing lul

[forest kelp]

It will back to 610 😂

If u change another blessing

[mental flare]

warpath go brrr

[autumn prairie]

really?

even if I respec the blessing?

[waxen nymph]

Unless there is a bug I am not aware of, it should not

[forest kelp]

You try it once

[forest kelp]

Review your sentinel characters; if they are not equipped, is there any character with this blessing greater than 610?

[sour rivet]

yeah 15% max by default, and with cof rank 10 bonus it's 37.5%

[autumn prairie]

and is this intended?

[autumn prairie]

does confluence have to be the 20th or the 21st echo?

[mental flare]

me when i spread misinformation on the internet

[sour rivet]

corruption also matters, with high enough corruption you can cap your drop chance much sooner without going to max distance (which is 20 atm)

[autumn prairie]

ya but since am it I'll try drop nihilis too

but again max distance is on the echo itself, as in it has to be the 20th, or does it have to be 20 echoes distance "difference", so its the 21st?

[waxen nymph]

Nihilis is an abby drop

Not a Shade drop

[sour rivet]

nodes next to center are distance 1 I believe. Max distance to non-shade echoes is actually 19, and shade echo can naturally spawn at distance 20.
Not sure if you can place confluence woven echo at distance 20, or if it's only for naturally spawned shade echoes.

[mental flare]

maybe he is thinking about omnis

[waxen nymph]

Poor Omnis

Got powercrept so hard by Nihilis

[barren spire]

How can I take out the abyssal decay? I`m trying to make a paladin hel here

or do I need healing hands levle 7?

[turbid dome]

The regular 3 options

• rune of removal
• rune of havoc
• rune of redemption

[waxen nymph]

You stop crafting

You imprint

[turbid dome]

Oh true

[barren spire]

Oh my

I need a 4LP immolator now lol

[barren spire]

could you explain please?

[waxen nymph]

Imprint gives will gives you "similar" items

So save the fp because imprinting with higher lp gives items with higher lp

And you will drop quite a bit of Double t6 prefixes Leonine Helm

[barren spire]

What was the map to farm this? Is the one with many chests right?

[waxen nymph]

I believe so

[barren spire]

Prophecies affect this?

[waxen nymph]

No

[autumn prairie]

I tried to nemesis like 5 maws and they all came out as shitty legendaries -.-

same thing for the anchors

[turbid dome]

Nemisus gaming

[modern wadi]

Do you know if it matters at all whether you imprint with the unique before the LP is used, or if you imprint a completed legendary?

[waxen nymph]

For a unique (non boss drop) it doesnt matter

[turbid dome]

I don’t think uniques care for what the imprinted things are

[waxen nymph]

2 lego affixes = 2 lp unique

[turbid dome]

Yea

[waxen nymph]

It might care when it reroll the unique into an exalted

[turbid dome]

Would be neat if there was a nemesis imprint that cared about the slammed affixes

[turbid dome]

True

[autumn prairie]

does flamesof midnight count as a boss item?because you can get it in an echo aswell

[chilly peak]

In which echo?

[turbid dome]

That’s a boss item

[chilly peak]

It is a boss drop, it can only drop from Spirits of Fire Harby and from the Abberroths

[turbid dome]

That echo is just you fight the timeline’s harby

[chilly peak]

Yeah, still a biss woven echo

[autumn prairie]

I c

[chilly peak]

But don't farm it there

Farm it in Spirits of Fire

Fading Brink is pain to play and the rewards are hardly worth, imo

[turbid dome]

Brink is nice for practicing a harby fight

[gusty abyss]

Dont you mean collapsing hoirzon?

[autumn prairie]

woooh one shattered chains I cant believe it

[gusty abyss]

Brink is all of them in random order

[turbid dome]

Whoops

[gusty abyss]

Its interesting trade off though, spam boss + harbinger with envy to also farm eyes at the same time, or alternate boss and collapsing horizon, get less eyes but quicker fight, or weave conquered tower in to egg non LP, also get multi exalts, but takes longer to do.

[turbid dome]

Counter point; infinite false temple

Gotta zoooooooooöoooom

[gusty abyss]

But how does on get this then?

[turbid dome]

Hmmm

Top 10 questions science still can’t answer sadly

[autumn prairie]

should I wait to find a t7 hybrid health belt or just go with an t7 increased health on my shattered chains? it's just 1lp

[turbid dome]

Increased health is always better than hybrid

[gusty abyss]

t7 % health performs better than hybrid afaik

[turbid dome]

*after you have like 1000 flat hp (including hp from levels)

Which if you somehow have less than 1000 flat I’m impressed

[autumn prairie]

after 10 000 years

[chilly peak]

Do you have an ailment-cleanse somewhere?😬

[turbid dome]

for those curious with a quick graph of hybrid vs increased on a belt

[gusty abyss]

Both, the answer is both 😄

[turbid dome]

nah the answer is increased and then aliment cleanse on potion chug

[autumn prairie]

nop

[turbid dome]

then its increased, aliment cleanse and hybrid

[chilly peak]

Imo cleanse > inreased > hybrid 🤷‍♂️

[gusty abyss]

I was a total cleanse enjoyer, but I actually dont miss it 🤷‍♂️

[turbid dome]

cleanse if your charging uber void boi

or if your using the mimic gloves

[chilly peak]

And if you have all 3, make sure you have all t7, or people will facepalm 🤣

[gusty abyss]

because the ward!

[turbid dome]

I swear im gonna get some super rare 4lp and outa spite slam a bunch of random T1 affixs on it (and some T6 exalted affix that doesn't help at all)

[chilly peak]

I have 2 T4 slams, that are 7/5/5/4 😛

Some people would die when they see ^^

[autumn prairie]

I find myself needing 20 cold res now lmao I need to get nihilis

[turbid dome]

time to go search the 40 stash tabs of idols

[gusty abyss]

Same!

[autumn prairie]

funny thing is I sold alot of random idols with res lol

[gusty abyss]

I honestly just farm another 4lp if a good exalt drops. Doing it the other way around is just pain

[turbid dome]

can't treat it like those consumables in an JRPG that you can't buy more of

insert that ProZD short here where its the final battle and he only has 73 ethers left

[chilly peak]

I did it even intentionally once, needed to balance Int/Att for the Sphere

[autumn prairie]

also need to find an exalt for this

[turbid dome]

f

13% doom chance hurts

[chilly peak]

Nah, it's ok, he has the Axe

[waxen nymph]

You didnt refine the exalted to get max roll ??

[chilly peak]

Doom isn't that important for WP imo. Or?

[turbid dome]

warpaths where you hit them with the warpath for your damage, yes

warpaths that are triggering 15185 smites for your damage, no

[gusty abyss]

Thats me!

[turbid dome]

basically if your build is doing melee damage, doom chance + shattered chains is bis

[chilly peak]

Yoyoyo, no jokes about Smite-WP

[turbid dome]

which I kinda hate build variety wise

[chilly peak]

https://tenor.com/view/علبلتنخه-gif-19293292

[turbid dome]

o.0

[chilly peak]

Wdym?

[turbid dome]

if build melee -> you get a siphon and a shattered chains

maybe not siphon if your a vk and you can run apathy's maw

otherwise your giving up a big chunk of damage that other options aren't going to make up

[chilly peak]

Hehe, Smite-WP is not even tied to V(oid)K

[turbid dome]

yeah

smite-wp isn't melee

its spell

yes you might smack them with warpath because your using a sword that triggers smite when you smack something, but thats not melee for melee damage, thats melee to trigger smite

[gusty abyss]

its melee and throwing trigger spell

[turbid dome]

yes

[gusty abyss]

Lose a big chunk of damage if you are not melee range

[chilly peak]

Hehe, just love WP builds and was joking ^^
So far liked all variations that I played somehow

[autumn prairie]

damn my exalted rings all suck

[turbid dome]

Skyqula, calling it melee in the context of talking about an item combo that boosts melee damage means that the build is scaling melee damage. unless theres a like 16th warpath build that scales both, ima be suprised if someones scaling melee damage on a smite warpath, because then your just splitting your damage types

not melee range, melee damage scaling

[gusty abyss]

For sure, in terms of scaling smite warpath is spell.

But for Paladin, some Melee Attack Speed does help.

Woudnt really go out of the way for it though

[turbid dome]

yeah because it can help trigger more smites

or divine bolts probably

[chilly peak]

Not too much imo, I feel I could cap the smites with one ~T5 IAS

[gusty abyss]

Spending affixes on it does not sound great, rightious firebrand should fit though

Could consider blademaster

[chilly peak]

i c, makes sense

[gusty abyss]

Though paladin tree is actually decent now, so probably not

[turbid dome]

me reaching reverence of duality

• yay reverence time
• noo my next 12 levels are gone time

[gusty abyss]

Have you seen the VK tree, once I reached 25 points, I want almost everything in there

not enough points to take it all though xD

[turbid dome]

Possibly

Maybe once or twice

looks at my army of vks

[autumn prairie]

can I get away with 73% cold res

[gusty abyss]

yes

[autumn prairie]

74!!11

[turbid dome]

Yes, 1% res is always 1% DR

Since enemies get 1% all res pen per area level (up to 75%)

[gusty abyss]

it is 1% more damage taken, not DR

[turbid dome]

Er

Yeah

[autumn prairie]

managed to cap

[turbid dome]

Nice

[autumn prairie]

basically now I need to start dropping better rings to craft my flames and my 3lp siphon

[turbid dome]

Time to look at the stars to get some decent rings

Then imprint them and look at more stars

[autumn prairie]

my first nihilis is not very good

[gusty abyss]

Yeah, nihilis takes some good RNG for the rolls, then good RNG for the LP, the more RNG for the slam if you managed to get 2lp.

[forest kelp]

Still easy than needle

[alpine canopy]

Yeah, missing 2% res means you take 2% more damage of that type, no big deal, generally.

[forest kelp]

I have over 10 characters with max roll blessings, so it’s not hard to notice this…when leveling a new character to level 80 was spending the whole day farming blessings for that character until I got everything I needed

[forest kelp]

The first time playing Warpath, it’s pretty easy to play, but checking item drops and picking them up is quite tiring

[gusty abyss]

Picking items while playing warpath is an entire skill on its own

[autumn prairie]

damn 1st time dying to abby

my fault tho I was too greedy on the slam

[forest kelp]

As for me, I died right from level 1 😅

campaign at 88

[autumn prairie]

ya after 2 deaths I learned I need to pay more attention to the slam and not spin while he does it

[autumn prairie]

damn ur spin is very big

[astral crater]

Could never be my goat judgement fr fr

[autumn prairie]

you can tank the slam?

[barren spire]

If i run Unclaimed Throves do I actually need to boost them with Lostwood Folly or I only need to place the Sepulcher of the Lost in the middles?

[astral crater]

Normal or uber? Cause I can do both, vk estrike friend can tank normal

[waxen nymph]

That skin looks really nice

[autumn prairie]

the degen doesnt kill you?

[astral crater]

Huh? What degen

Not sure what you mean

[autumn prairie]

the degen aoe after the slam

[astral crater]

Normal uber I don’t even go below my ward I think

Abhy^

Not uber

Uber is close but I tank it

[autumn prairie]

damn

[astral crater]

Can tank the uber final phase slam too if I have him close to the middle to set up more judgement heals

Maybe even without extra heals I could

Didn’t bother testing out as the kill speed it horrid

Well with multiple players if they die

Solo it’s fine but still somewhat annoying

[waxen nymph]

😢 missed the 2/3

[astral crater]

Rip

[astral crater]

Anyways I can basically do a full facetank except the necrotic slashes for obvious reasons and the final slam IF I got hit by a few of the slashes

[waxen nymph]

Cleanse or CDR would have been pog

[astral crater]

Enjoy the atom of ward you get

[silent storm]

Just wear two belts

Jungle machinegun potion

[forest kelp]

8 times to got it

[silent storm]

Just a casual 33% chance going over odds

[barren spire]

Not too bad :3

[astral crater]

Glorious stuff

I gotta get a similar helm for myself

[waxen nymph]

Thats a bit more Shred 😄

21 Millions Crit on the dummy ❤️

That would be a 2.8 Millions crit in empowered

[wooden mountain]

is that eternal eclipse void cleave?

[waxen nymph]

It is

Oo

Is there smth to do with this

[barren spire]

Dupe or try to hit Healing Effectiveness?

I would dupe it tbh xD

[wooden mountain]

1-2-1-2 hit rive with pull mayb?

have a beeeeeg rive

[waxen nymph]

OOO

[wooden mountain]

absolutely disgusting, wouldn't even pick it up

[forest kelp]

Never have it💀

Same rate lp with darkstride but why?

[alpine canopy]

Boots almost all have a relatively high minimum LPL rather than defaulting to the level req like other slots.
It's because of move speed.

[astral crater]

I mean t7 dot brings more value than healing effectiveness if you already have enough, I’m at 850-900 healing effectiveness rn and facetank easily, but it takes a while to do

Duping it would be the way to go if you use on 2lp+

[alpine canopy]

Smelters?

[waxen nymph]

My thoughts too

Man ... I was supposed to be over with this season

I was just messing around to try VC

And I am ending slamming good stuff

If my 2lp shattered Chain did not miss the CDRS I would have had VC on a 2sec CD

[alpine canopy]

[waxen nymph]

This has to stop now

[alpine canopy]

EHG increases drops in late season confirmed

[waxen nymph]

I think I am using my luck for next season

Which is good because I probably wont have time to play it much

[alpine canopy]

And maybe if you come in late for S3, then you can start using your S4 luck to make up for it

[chilly peak]

Just normal end-season luck 🤷‍♂️

This is how every rng works. Always. ^^

[waxen nymph]

The game knows when you are done

And keep calling you back

We are slamming tonight

[chilly peak]

You're making some good progess man!

[waxen nymph]

https://youtu.be/1-6N51-hoCI

I think I am going to stop right there

After that I would need to grind some imprint exalted but I need to focus on other stuff irl ^^

[chilly peak]

I'm sooo torn on this build.
Dat big bonk is amazing... but...

[autumn prairie]

whats this "irl" you speak of, some kind of echo?

[chilly peak]

Secret woven echo, extremly rare

[waxen nymph]

Now I feel bad for slamming my sulorons ....

Went to fight Rayeh one last time before bed

4 millions crit 😄

how much crit multi doyou have (in the characterm not vc)

[mental flare]

nice sunwreath

[waxen nymph]

39 from blessing + 90 from Suloron + 74 from passive

[autumn prairie]

should I still use Cycloneof War if I am using the Axe?

ormaybe I should I max Unchained and put some points in Warrior's Fury and see if I can sustain it a bit

240mp btw

spoiler: I can't really sustain it

[waxen nymph]

For Warrior Fury you need Void Well and a lot of max mana

At some point you will end up oom and reset the charge

[autumn prairie]

I have void well but not enough mana ye

how much mana do you think its needed

[forest kelp]

swap to Pally?

[waxen nymph]

Swap to needle and get 75% parry chance

[autumn prairie]

caus elike I need to know how many legendaries need +mana lines

[forest kelp]

My Pally Judgement just 8% and 237 block effectiveness

[forest kelp]

was thought black blade

[red kettle]

Heyho guys! Can anyone please help me to farm some idols and some items for ES VK? Im a beginner player, thats why im asking 😄

[waxen nymph]

Are you cof or MG.

[red kettle]

Cof

[waxen nymph]

Then go buy prophecies 😁

[autumn prairie]

bruh I cant find a decent leonine with reduced channeling cost

[waxen nymph]

They do be rare

[chilly peak]

Havocs helped me to get it started. I looked for an any-T7-Leo, crafted Channel Cost and made it exalted with a Havoc

[forest kelp]

Converting block chance to parry on Needle doesn't show in the character info but still takes effect, so we can still use block chance for other sources, right?

[autumn prairie]

flat mana is better than % for vk right?

[forest kelp]

If ur flat mana too low

It can be easily calculated

[forest kelp]

My Needle has a 25% base crit chance, so I can save some points to add to Juggernaut Stance

[barren spire]

Ok so, I fixed the blessing and other minor things, is my char good enough for uber abby now?

[forest kelp]

kidding me? 🤨

[waxen nymph]

I thought the beam was a dot

[chilly peak]

She will come down eventually

[forest kelp]

She don't

My big aoe killed her

[chilly peak]

🥹

gg

[forest kelp]

She was killed so many times that she had to give it to me to be freed

100c drop LoL my best

[waxen nymph]

Not max ward on ghost

Garbo

[forest kelp]

All four of my other 3lp Midnight items have penetration below 13

Channel cost is also within the range of increased mana cost form Avatar of Regret, right?

Got 650 armor blessing, back to lvl 👌

[mental flare]

showcase my best slam so far

[mental flare]

and prob the best tier exalted i ever saw

[forest kelp]

Just need a good Needle, Warpath VK build to easily farm well at 2k

[hard pebble]

[forest kelp]

he so cool

Is there any trick to make Warpath toggleable? My hand gets tired from holding down the right mouse button for a long time

[mental flare]

with key it's better in my experience

[dense tendon]

ahk script for keyboard or steam settings for controller

[alpine canopy]

Or numlock trick

[turbid dome]

there was a bug for like a month last year where it stayed toggled after clicking it once

I wish that got added as an option

[alpine canopy]

Yeah, a built-in toggle option would be great

[forest kelp]

New trailer

[turbid dome]

Ye

Next season looks fun

Not hopeful for the season after

[silk wasp]

Oh nice, they finished the new chapter

[mental flare]

the ring looks amazing

[silk wasp]

I couldn't see any of the actual text on my tiny phone screen

[mental flare]

beast rift amazing too

[turbid dome]

The items shown

Skills being able to be +6 levels is insane

[mental flare]

multistrike is really happy

javelin too

[dense tendon]

is that relic not bis for every single minion build

[silk wasp]

Oh shit a ring of royal grandeur

[mental flare]

yeah i believe it is

[modern wadi]

hmm endur stacking manifest armor paladin with trex and molten infusion void cleave?

doubt it would be a top tier build but would be funny and very team friendly (molten infusion works on allied minions too, or at least used to a couple years ago)

javelin banner, molten infusion, holy aura, and symbols would make you the ultimate partner for a necro or beastmaster if they had melee minions

[forest kelp]

Lol Primalist stack attributions?

[uneven gorge]

I already know I'm gonna abuse that ring to high heaven

[turbid dome]

I hope the int -> flat lightning damage set hat is made to not be class locked

[silk wasp]

That ring might push me to actually try to use Sunforged for something.

Combo with wildfire embers for smelter echos?

[frail cipher]

for endest of end game judgement am I use Orions eye or Nihilus? I am getting mixed signals googling

[gusty abyss]

Dont need it with the ring though

[turbid dome]

yeah but the hat comes with lightning pen and shock chance per int

which I would like over the staff's stuff

[gusty abyss]

Fair

[alpine canopy]

Yeah, but tbh if they do that, primalist and probably sentinel will slap the hell out of that set with cleaver

[gusty abyss]

str mage is already a thing though

[turbid dome]

On one hand fair, on the other any skill the two use with it won’t be getting the 4% increased dmg from int

And basically need/only get int from gear

[alpine canopy]

But it can get +2 per point and 4% from str on bear EQ

[turbid dome]

Fair

[alpine canopy]

Probably better applications for the combo, but that was just first thing to mind lol

[turbid dome]

I can def see some sets getting used now that you can swap a ring for one of the parts

Especially with the set shard changes too

[gusty abyss]

vk set without needing shield

[turbid dome]

Given giving up one ring slot for the new ring hurts way less than like loosing any other slot

[alpine canopy]

I know I'll have to run shattered lance with vessel

[gusty abyss]

you get +1, that alone is worth it

I wont be surprised of that thing gets toned down, looking mana guide lvls strong

[turbid dome]

Plus it’s a level 42 ring

So fairly good odds it’s not gonna be a struggle to get 2lp

even tho yes I know lp chances are not item level based

[gusty abyss]

if that item goes as is, it should get lpl lvl 110

[turbid dome]

The ol prism wrap special

[alpine canopy]

That is the default though, so reasonable starting point

[turbid dome]

Yea

[alpine canopy]

Of course with it scaling so well possibly, they might nerf LPL

[turbid dome]

Just used to other servers were people instantly jump on me with mentioning exceptions

[alpine canopy]

But actshually we do that too 🤓

[turbid dome]

[uneven gorge]

Yall are missing the obvious one: The Corsair set. Converts glancing blow chance to block chance. Now you can use The Slab with it, so rogue can become 100% immune to hit damage

[alpine canopy]

Lol they might be changing the slab for that

Especially since converted block chance won't get affected by the less block chance mod

[turbid dome]

The slab now has “you have no glancing blows chance”

[polar spire]

Wildfire Embers Forge Strike

gonna be fun

will make stun chance/ignite forge strike more of a thing, since bleed forge strike is better right now

[turbid dome]

@quiet hearth have you seen the new unique ring?

draven is gonna love this ring

[polar spire]

new seasons uniques look far more game changing compared to current seasons uniques

[turbid dome]

mostly cause ruby fang set time

[polar spire]

tyrant's skull for forge guard minion build players

@fair hollow you gonna fit it into your minion paladin?

take #1 on arena leaderboard as sentinel again, lol

[turbid dome]

this is begging to be used with the strength to int cleaver

[polar spire]

and then endurance shield LOL

[turbid dome]

splash in some of the last bear set for even more strength

[polar spire]

now that sets work the way they do, y e s

[turbid dome]

set shards + the ring

or many just reforged if thats the only set

[polar spire]

the question now is paladin or forge guard, since paladin was better

we can pester wrouk to test it for us

:D

[turbid dome]

I mean

probably paladin

given aura would affect the relic minion and fg doesn't give it that many boosts past the cut off I think

[quiet hearth]

Something something must be truly desperate, and no I have not

[turbid dome]

your ruby fang set shenanigans shall become even more shenanigan-y

[quiet hearth]

Eh, not rally as the axe already was the best, the shield you just slapped a set affix on a rare and you were good, that being said, definitely will be tinkering with it

Right now I am more focus on the new melee lich skill

[turbid dome]

true

also dual wield lich

I wonder if reaper form is gonna get one big scythe and only have 2 if your dual wielding

and if theres gonna be scythe axes before like level 60

[quiet hearth]

I need one BIG axe, I will also 100% be raising the holy tRex

[turbid dome]

ye

cleaver solution is gonna be great with mr trex

[quiet hearth]

nah we stacking attun

[turbid dome]

ima be honest

3 flat + 1% pen per strength > 1 crit multi per attunement

[quiet hearth]

Nah, I need that fattest Trex, though with CS, you really can stack all three at once

ngl, Imma be stuck on lich for a hot minute if that flay skill is true melee and not like harvest

[fair hollow]

you bet 😁

thats alot of crit multi and flat spell for MA

now its just hoping on the snapshot removal

[modern wadi]

outta curiosity, in what way is harvest not true melee?

[polar spire]

oh yea the 20% effectiveness

yea that would be good

[quiet hearth]

The way is scales just isnt great, you can make it work but it's just not that great. Its more of a support skill for other things.

[turbid dome]

Wait the flay skill was in the trailer?

[polar spire]

cant wait for shattered lance + vessel of strife, its something i always wanted to try out, and now it'll be possible

[polar spire]

yea

no tooltip

just animations

and attacks

[turbid dome]

To tack onto what Draven said, it also has a lot of hoops to jump through to use it as a supportive skill (even more for as your only damage skill)

Ah

[polar spire]

harvest is true melee

the hell

[waxen nymph]

Indeed

Sexy

[polar spire]

shattered lance relic + forge guard set health regen per forged weapon

[quiet hearth]

Also the beastmaster minions getting some love will be nice, imagine if saber was as good as bear is now

[polar spire]

ignite/electrify HH with embers might be fun

shield throw will also be nice

judgement might get some work from it

smelters and forge strike will be the big kickers with it

[turbid dome]

I know sentinel just got a rework but I hope smelters wrath gets an update

[polar spire]

give it a few more years

complain to krafton that smelters needs a rework so they can pester judd

[turbid dome]

[quiet hearth]

At this point Id be happy if the bolster node got fixed after like...2yrs

[polar spire]

whats wrong with it?

[quiet hearth]

the end thresh while charging doesnt actually increase your thresh

[polar spire]

i remember it working

oh hmm, never paid attention to the threshold part

the armor part itself is disgusting

can easily cap armor with little to no investment

[quiet hearth]

honestly if they just let you slowly move with smelters you'd be in a pretty good spot, dmg is not it's issue

[polar spire]

we need an amulet that lets us move during smelters

LOL

[quiet hearth]

No, that needs to be baked in, if ES can be what it is, we can move during smelters

[modern wadi]

Smana Guide

[polar spire]

forged by fire and crucible with the new embers amulet

creating wisps while charging

big mana costs for crushing blows to make use of

[quiet hearth]

I havent seen the ammy

[polar spire]

its up above

[quiet hearth]

I still havent seen it, Im at work, my ability to look at things is limited

Ah ok ty

[polar spire]

these 2 with it

make ignite smelters

furnace to create wisps, slam, with more ignite damage, charge again, and the moment you start to charge, 5% chance for all the wisps to also immediately slam

[quiet hearth]

Dont mind be while I smack bosses with vengeance to build wisps and then bombard them with wisp explosions

[polar spire]

i wonder

if the wisps are created next to a freshly ignited enemy, if we'll need to rapidly consume ignites and reignite to summon new wisps or not

doesnt clarify that well

[quiet hearth]

Honestly, I could see you using ignite vengeance to just proc the wisps themselves over

Or smite

Or you could go full weird and Fire void cleave

[polar spire]

this'll largely depend on if wisps can spawn on new ignite stacks, or only on fresh ignites overall

someone gotta do that ask devs thingy

if its the former its dog

i mean if its the latter its dogshit

[quiet hearth]

I wonder if the set ring stacks with itself

[polar spire]

wear 2 of them?

[quiet hearth]

I cant imagine you can get set bonuses just by wearing two rings XD

[polar spire]

wear 2 of them and 1 piece from a 3 set?

[silk wasp]

Doesn't work that way with the invoker set, does it?

[quiet hearth]

No, Im talking like ruby fang, where there are only 2 pieces

[polar spire]

lightning smiters eating good with the new ring

staff, belt, devotion, new ring

oh god

keep the lightning smiters at bay

ruby fang shield + ring + 2h weapon of your choosing

sinathia's + forge guard set + ring

lots of +skill to forge strike minions

sinathia's on a shield, Sword Catcher, Forge Guard on chest and helm, ring

oh god

so much +skill

shattered lance on a relic

get all the health regen

oh god

too much jank for me to work with and thats only 3 primordial uniques

uhghg;fsjlhgdfs;lgkfhdj

[quiet hearth]

I hope they nerf smite into the ground next league

ES too

[modern wadi]

Nerf everything but crab. Crab league 🦀

[quiet hearth]

I wanted that crab to be so much better than it is

IT really should be better considering you give up your dodge roll

[modern wadi]

This is Sentinel chat. What's dodge? I only know facetank 💀

[quiet hearth]

We live like men, we die like nerds

[alpine canopy]

It does not, Mike confirmed already

[quiet hearth]

Good that would be silly

now I just need a unique that lets me summon TRex up to my companion limit

[quiet hearth]

You know, if we're stacking stats for Rex, using palarus in the off hand wouldn't be a bad idea

[modern wadi]

face of the mountain and endur stack 😤

[quiet hearth]

likely the better choice but Im here for the meme

[warped night]

hmm you could do 3 pc forgotten knight without a shield now with that ring

but it does eat your amulet and force you to use a 1h weapon

would be good for a dw build though

[turbid dome]

and tbf you lose a very strong affix on the shield

tho yea dw

[warped night]

I mean, could also get your amulet or weapon slot back as an alternative

[unborn cypress]

Will Tyrants Skull be good for forged weapons build?

[warped night]

I don't see how it wouldn't be

[unborn cypress]

Get an LP 1 and slap T7 minion damage on there. Only thing is your losing out on defense from Code.

[warped night]

probably better to take strength
