🔱┃sentinel

[polar spire]

he was GOING to play the EQ bear beastmaster, but i overhyped how yours would be much better, and far easier to gear for

[pseudo parcel]

Happy new season fellow Sentinel bros

[verbal dome]

thanks

[turbid dome]

[fair hollow]

its easier to gear yeah but its not gonna pull eq bear numbers tbh

[muted oar]

flat melee is adaptive so its the same as void if ur warpath is void

[turbid dome]

it begins

[polar spire]

thats fine, we're also playing a group of 4, and we have 2 players playing supports

im just playing leapbear, with warcry taunt so i can tank

[magic moth]

isnt bearpet pretty slow on clear

[polar spire]

update just dropped!

update your game!

[silk wasp]

Can't while at work

Go to my house and update for me

[pseudo parcel]

looting your emergency key as we speak

[silk wasp]

Door probably isn't even locked

[tribal basin]

I hide here , gen chat is scary again , not as scary as last time tho

[wet sorrel]

im new shal i use loot filter end game or are there loot filter for lvling

[tribal basin]

generally during story you only start to hide magic and normal items

[verbal dome]

why is there patch 0.01 second before launch

[pseudo parcel]

Oof

My S2 character then and now

[tribal basin]

and then make a rule with higher priority that shows specific affixes on Items to shatter them

[pseudo parcel]

from 62% Block Effect to 49%

(and a lot of armor!)

[tribal basin]

the Block nerfs are real .. sadge

[bold mulch]

I thought about primal trident because sierpin is a trident.. But with odachi i can use void cleave

[tribal basin]

and the soft caps are still 11800 and 13000 if i remember correctly , hard to get to those now i believe

[bold mulch]

Maybe The T8 void cleave champion affix can be good?

[tribal basin]

how would you do that , Champion affixes are already sealed

[silk wasp]

There's an echo that spawns rift beast champions that can apparently drop primo champ affixes

[tribal basin]

wow .. well good luck finding that , T7 Champion affixes on good bases were already super rare

[gleaming rock]

Just wish I could still run Warpath and yet still have a lil Trex minion

[silk wasp]

We can change bases now so that'll make it a little easier

[tribal basin]

okay it was 13k Armor for 80% phys mitigation and 10200 for 80% Block mitigation

[polar spire]

off the 4th enemy

[uncut robin]

LOL NICE

[polar spire]

wtf are these drop rates. lmao, am i playing borderlands 3??

[uncut robin]

had this happen to me yesterday on the 1st zone but it was a different weapon

[silk wasp]

I played last night offline to check my controller and found a Slab in the plant area at like level 6

They just throw stuff at you the whole time. Firestarter torch and palarus are pretty common at low levels too

[polar spire]

dont forget to have a stream open!

[silk wasp]

I got those last night ;)

[tribal basin]

I know that reference

the difference is that you can actualyl use low level Legendaries in LE tho

[sullen jolt]

where the heck is the option show / hide helmet

[tribal basin]

Instead of something like Beacon -> Hellshock -> free Radical

[sullen jolt]

?

[tribal basin]

Dont believe there is one , if you mean for cosmetic purposes

[sullen jolt]

I equipped all teh cosmetics yet I amw earing no helmet 🙁

🙁

[polar spire]

nice, my vendor had 3 silver rings right at the start

[lost wasp]

BALD!

[polar spire]

ez movespeed

[polar spire]

buy a helm

[sullen jolt]

I bout 4

[polar spire]

i didnt have gloves because none were equipped, had to buy em

[mental flare]

fish

[sullen jolt]

not showing

[polar spire]

do you have a helmet on?

[tribal basin]

cant paint your bald head with a skin , just real helmets

[dusky canopy]

Does any% of dmg increases the reflect dmg?

[polar spire]

nope, its unaffected by everything but damage reflect

but its also true damage and hits through everything

[long hull]

javelin still great as ssf player? or it gets hit by nerfs hard?

[uncut robin]

I'm doing shield throw which is pretty similar to javelin

[polar spire]

i love that this secret area in the storerooms exists

[uncut robin]

that's me

[polar spire]

its right here past the barrels and wall

so was looking at cosmetics on shop, clicked frog

game crashed

[steep trail]

hows the queue looking ?

[polar spire]

queue?

last epoch has queues?

[steep trail]

to log in

idk

[polar spire]

i cant remember if last epoch ever had queues

[urban phoenix]

It did at one point i think

[modern crystal]

season 2 release

had one

[steep trail]

^

of

[polar spire]

lol got a glyph of envy, friend didnt remember what it did

turned a lvl 5 chest armor into a lvl 63 chest armor

kek

[steep trail]

oof

[polar spire]

datmodz just got the trex primordial relic

[tribal basin]

classic , had that in 1.0 when a gear piece became a Lv 92 item . turned out it was a bug confirmed by the Devs

[uncut robin]

that was FAST

[lost portal]

what a blessed first unique

[tribal basin]

Here this thing

[subtle oriole]

is judgement still playable like rf?

[dense tendon]

you mean judgement aura?

[subtle oriole]

yea, just run into stuff

[tribal basin]

well , it might still be better than Fire Aura

[dense tendon]

should still be fine

[subtle oriole]

alright, ty 🙂

[polar spire]

don't forget when you meet your first bear and go through the tunnel, right when you have the fire ball bugs come at you, go south and break the stalactites, theres 1 more bear, and a breakable wall above it for another bear, the bears give 3-4 full bars of exp each

[tribal basin]

iirc it also scaled damage with Healing effectiveness but that stat including 5increased health regen got nerfed by .. i would say 30% in average (?)

[polar spire]

super nice and close and ez exp right at the start

[tribal basin]

when did they give those bears the xp boost ?

[uncut robin]

takes so long to get level 20 to finally use shield throw

[tribal basin]

Safe bet is always use Hammur :3 till you can use other stuff

[polar spire]

someone just hit 27 on a shaman

[tribal basin]

i have patience before i play , just made some food and a coffee

[polar spire]

looks like first rift beast encounter is in Last Refuge Outskirts act 2, just pointin it out so no one misses it on accident

[modest thorn]

how much of forge guard is minions? it seems like a lot

[uncut robin]

dude

these new mobs are crazy

I couldn't even run away 'cause they had a lunge attack

[polar spire]

ring of shields, manifest armor, forge strike, but forged weapons are probably the weakest minions in the game and don't hold out well endgame
Wrouk's Paladin Manifest Armor holds out very well, manifest armor has a flamethrower breath ability it can spam, and he's held #1 on arena for multiple weeks on every season start. It feels good to see sentinel do better than the other classes

[modest thorn]

i was mostly asking in order to avoid minions to be honest, i should have phrased that better, but if manifest armour is good without necessarily needing (dead) snapshotting i could give it a shot

[polar spire]

to be fair though, forged weapons early are fine, and if you run a solid 2h with Rive, and go for Foe Cleaver on the left first, its a massive damage spike, and the node beforehand spawns forged weapons

Rive can super carry you while leveling

otherwise, multistrike, vengeance, rive, and warpath can all spawn forged weapons

forge strike is the main builder for them, but forge strike can also be built heavily into bleed or crit

think it gets like 8% flat crit and 145% crit multi, or you can go bleed, and it gets disgusting amounts of phys pen

[silk wasp]

A lot of FG is minions but they're only the focal point of a couple builds

[polar spire]

I wanna say yes to that, but paladin runs the minions better lmao

[silk wasp]

Shield Bash and Throw really only use RoS and only to juice their block stats

[uncut robin]

I have 2 runes of ascendance at level 17 but idk what I should aim for

[polar spire]

a solid weapon and a solid body armor would prob be the best

[uncut robin]

body armor then, alright

[polar spire]

an early dreamthorn can carry really hard

[uncut robin]

thank u

[sullen jolt]

whats stronger - dps / survi - bleed-smite hammerdin OR smite - fissure paladin?

[trim basin]

soo
this things busted for VK, right?

[uncut robin]

hey this is actually good once I have manifest armour

shame it's level 64

[polar spire]

yea wrouk uses it for spell manifest armor

[silk wasp]

Ox is very strong

[turbid dome]

great new everyone you can get this in a lvl 15 rift cave

[silk wasp]

Lmao

[uncut robin]

I feel like the game is harder? I'm taking way more dmg than yesterday

[silk wasp]

Hearing a lot of that

[urban phoenix]

Yeah, felt very squishy early on

[silk wasp]

Patch notes said something about normalizing damage over certain areas. Maybe they overtuned the early game?

[primal heron]

How do ignites work?

[turbid dome]

what part of ignite

all aliments have a base damage, chance to apply it can go above 100%, ie: 200% ignite chance = always apply 2 stacks a hit

[uncut robin]

level 20 and i'm drowning in fire res

[dense tendon]

is harmony of the first just for leveling or is the magic gear rive build a real thing

[alpine canopy]

Not sure how good after the number nerfs it got

[long trout]

I'm sorry when I'm asking sth stupid that has been answered over and over again tonight, but I couldn't follow the chat today.
Do you think Bleed Hammerdin is okay in Season 3?
I planned to do this last season but I wasn't able to play, so I wanted to do it now in Season 3

[sudden galleon]

Any leveling guides for Sentinel? I'll play warpath affter 70

[silk wasp]

Should be

[alpine canopy]

Should be good, can't think of any negative changes made to it in S3. Just the addition of primordials, which can just make your build stronger

[uncut robin]

I think i'm gonna have like 500% chance to ignite endgame

[primal heron]

Ah so the base damage is not affected by the damage of the initial hit

[turbid dome]

Sorta

Not the direct damage of it but generic %more damage nodes on the skill will effect aliment damage for aliments the skill inflicts

Like smites sacrifice node

Or if it’s fire %more fire damage nodes

[primal heron]

I’m curious how well ignite smite could be

With the new unique

[turbid dome]

I’d guess Pretty well once you consider multistrike can barf out smites

[urban phoenix]

Pog ascendance.

[primal heron]

Going to self cast smite to proc hh

[urban phoenix]

neat

[uncut robin]

dude, nice

[unborn cypress]

So what new gear are you Paladins searching for now?

[brave cradle]

Not searching, earning

Spirit staff

[dusky notch]

damn they really took time rot jav out back, huh?

[lost portal]

oh hey. i found a thing

[sullen jolt]

will these be available in trade?

[frail canopy]

Whats a good melee or non minion build?

[hallow herald]

How is FG shield bash, same as last season?

[waxen nymph]

Not rn at least

[teal imp]

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not Warrior's Fury (Warpath node) applies to the echos of Warpath?

[sullen jolt]

But later

[muted oar]

kinda, never got my echoes to do the same dmg as my actual spin but they do more damage the longer u spin

guess echoes dont inherit other things

[teal imp]

Thanks mate.

[teal imp]

When reading the node details/information via LETools page (https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/warpath/tree), it does say:
"This effect only applies to Warpath when it is directly used"
seem to indicate that it won't be applied to echos.

[muted oar]

Yea but i find it hard to believe my echoes are hitting for 150k~ on uber aberroth if they arent scaling with warriors fury

then my actual spin should be millions per hit

but it's not

[fierce tulip]

Is the Santinel still the best class for new players ? 😄

[turbid dome]

echos count as you directly using it

I don’t remember if warpath has some special condition about it as warpath has an * on basically everything with how it works, but if they do benefit from it they would start at 0 stacks of warriors fury when the echo spawns in

[trim basin]

what primordial do you guys think ES uses?

the 60% more idol effect relic i assume?
ES doenst really have good idol options before uberroth after all
and as far as i can tell this would give me ~+200 more hp and ~150 more mana, ~200% inc damage and ~30% armor shred

[turbid dome]

honestly a T8 on a useful affix might be the play there

[trim basin]

i just feel like t8 mana does less than the idol relic

[muted oar]

Think its just bugged, my 15seconds x 60% more dmg spin should be almost 10x my echo dmg but it never is

[turbid dome]

was thinking just a +6 to es T8

[muted oar]

It must be scaling some way

[turbid dome]

would need to look at the es tree but theres probs something nice to yoink with that

[turbid dome]

🤔 fair enough

[trim basin]

problem is
i have a lp3 titan heart

and theres no way t8 es is enough to make me want to swap back to an exalt

[leaden totem]

paladin consacretad ground still gigatank ?

[trim basin]

since legendaries cant inherit t8 mods

[turbid dome]

yeah but a primordial exalt can have 6 affixes

nah thats gonna be a rogue build, probs falconeer

tho those are gonna be very squishy

[trim basin]

i just feel like this already has 6 mods

[turbid dome]

yes the point of what i was a saying is ES lost damage this patch so trading a titan heart for a very nice primordial chest armor would let you cover the lost damage in exchange for some survivability

titan heart is always titan heart

[trim basin]

isnt more mana more useful?

[turbid dome]

its needed until you have enough mana to void well loop

[trim basin]

and with the void well nerf

[turbid dome]

yeah thats why when I make an es ima go for more raw hit daamge because your gonna need to swing slower to not break the void well loop

[trim basin]

but whats the point if you cant spam ES

[uncut robin]

🙂

i'm having fun

[turbid dome]

You do realize that spamming es slower is still spamming es right

Math wise I don’t think it’s reasonable to get the crap ton more mana needed to maintain the previous smack speed with the new void well cooldown

[trim basin]

yeah, i suppose
i just dont think i even invested in all that much attack speed anywhere

[turbid dome]

Yeah my plan to start testing it is not taking the attack speed in base sentinel and speccing avatar of regret to intentionally slow my swing speed

[trim basin]

oh i could also go down to 1 time loop again

[trim basin]

i dont htink that helps
avatar of regret increases mana cost
and it increases echo chance (which also increases mana cost)

[wraith oar]

anyone still doin campaign and wanna party msg me

[trim basin]

oh and i didnt even take base sentinel attack speed

[turbid dome]

Regular echos don’t cost mana

Only the guaranteed ones from the es node cost mana

in the context of erasing strike

The mana cost increase is only for the cost of erasing strike and not the mana consumed by the guaranteed echos as well

[uncut robin]

erase this

[turbid dome]

🐟

[uncut robin]

🦈

[turbid dome]

In conclusion

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

[trim basin]

huh.
so
that nodes kinda insane

[turbid dome]

it wasn't taken before because the attack speed malus was worse than the upside

but given theres a reason to swing slower now (unless you get a stupidly huge mana pool compared to the previously required mana pool)

[wraith sorrel]

Did healing effectiveness items get a nerf? I don't see it in the patch notes, but my healing effectiveness is like 300% less than it used to be.

[turbid dome]

if you were getting a ton from idols that got nerfed I think

[uncut robin]

my shield throw paladin is igniting more than my fire sorcerer

[turbid dome]

[leaden totem]

consecrated ground paaldin got nerfed?

stacking healing efectvness

[latent monolith]

The game gave me these two items while I am leveling as paladin. I think it's a sign to jump ship to void knight early.

[uncut robin]

bruv

[latent monolith]

Major caveat. This is my first proper attempt. Prior to this league I have 11 hours logged.

[quiet hearth]

I mean, as long as you know how to make a loot filter, you're pretty much good to go honestly. Game is in a good spot.

Just dont play anything I am playing and it will be a great time

[uncut robin]

level 35 btw

[wraith sorrel]

Ah, that's a bummer. Healing Hands Seraph Strike took a big DPS hit.

[latent monolith]

well, that's the thing. I'm not positive on what I should be looking forward. All I know is that for the time being based on maxroll's suggestion I am going to be a paladin until I hit endgame, than make a swap to voidknight for a warpath build

[uncut robin]

?????

just go voidknight from the start

vk is stronger even tbh

[latent monolith]

lol, i got a ring that's giving me a new crab friend

[uncut robin]

i'd rather have evade tbh

[latent monolith]

Just thinking about this now. How different would a guide/video from 1.2 be from 1.3?

[uncut robin]

it would be exactly the same tbh

[latent monolith]

So it wasn't really touched by the sounds of it

[austere coral]

Ignite Paladin good, but going no cooldown Shield Rush maybe is not the play, cuz I sacrifice a lot of mobility
Jasper's Searing Pride is good and inflicting almost 400 ignites on target feels great

[trim basin]

are you usign the new amulet?

[austere coral]

I would, but I haven't got it yet, it has quite high price and I play ssf

[uncut robin]

I too play ssf btw

[latent monolith]

Hold up. Looking at an old YouTube video on warpath vk leveling. We can spec into multiple masteries at the same time?

[uncut robin]

yes?

I mastered paladin but I have 16 points in Forge Guard

only downside is you can't pick the right half of the tree

and the skills behind it

[latent monolith]

So it does matter what your first mastery is

[uncut robin]

yes

the innate bonus and skill as well

it matters but not for leveling imo

[latent monolith]

Cool. Was thinking I can start making the swap without respecing a bunch

[vagrant mantle]

does anyone have a filter i can steal for sentinel ? 😭

[glad scaffold]

Forgeguard got any love for speed farming?

[forest kelp]

Can change mastery

[quiet hearth]

for optimal smoothness maybe, but you can do almost anything, they are focused on uber speed maxing things

[wraith oar]

yo around what level can i spam judgement

with no mana problems

[uncut robin]

hehehehehehehehehe

[wraith oar]

lol wat

[urban phoenix]

getting close to thicket

[haughty canopy]

Vk is gonna be rive or hammers

[haughty canopy]

For lvling

[urban phoenix]

XD

[haughty canopy]

1337 13120

[urban phoenix]

lets goo

this chest is wild

[plush ingot]

my brothers, i havent played since season 0 , at the time sentinel was one of the weaker classes but from what i understand its gotten buffed a lot. can i spin to win?

[urban phoenix]

you can walk to win with this chest piece

lmao

[plush ingot]

i dont remember much so cant really gauge how good it is

[red kettle]

Heyho guys! Anyone playing vk or sentinel can help me? this is my first league and idk which way is the best for lvling

[latent monolith]

I'm equally new, but from my days in Diablo 3 and poe. Maxroll has proved to be very reliable for builds and guides. So I feel confident in recommending their sentinel/paladin build to level, than you can transition into a different build if you want

[serene bough]

I went sooooooooooo far down lol this is bugged to all hell

[forest kelp]

Bad debt

[pseudo parcel]

Ripge

[novel geyser]

erasing strike continue same as past league?

[pseudo parcel]

some nerfs but still pretty good

[wraith oar]

bro lvl 65 and im like capped on resist this class is nuts

[polar spire]

Just woke up, that was a good one, thank you

[wraith oar]

lol its my first time playin this

class

[polar spire]

Rive, rive will hard carry you. Just grab a solid 2h, grab the foe cleaver node on the left, and just brrrr

[urban phoenix]

@polar spire What are you playing?

[polar spire]

I always season start werebear in primalist because its brain dead easy

[urban phoenix]

get one of these

the most brain dead item in the game

[polar spire]

Yea i know, i have a build setup for it

It'll prob be my 2nd sentinel

My next after werebear will be a shield basher

Have my werebear at 55 right now, and it when it mauls, it also fury leaps and upheavals, and all 3 hit 50k crits, so i'm just spam leaping everything on screen every 1.8s and 1 shotting everything

[polar spire]

volatile reversal before it was reworked was how we used to handle it, it reverted your mana to what it was 2-4 seconds prior, so you would judgement then VR, but they completely reworked VR. Old slam judgement builds are a lot harder now, but aura based judgements are still possible and fun.

[wraith oar]

oh okay im just using vengance

to regain mana lol

[polar spire]

but slam judgement was also stupid, since you could slap out 100 million damage crits

[wraith oar]

@polar spire this beast master gear is selling like crazy

i made 800k already wtf

[polar spire]

time and faith in base sentinel talents is good for the mana on hit, and then either chest or helm i cant remember which, has a mana on hit affix for vengeance

[wraith oar]

time and faith?

oh its in the tree

[polar spire]

you could glyph of despair, seal a t2 or t3 vengeance on hit so you can leave the 4 important affixes open

yea time and faith is huge for most builds

its almost always taken

[wraith oar]

oh i see yea i got that

maybe some more %mana on gear

[polar spire]

% and flat mana you want regardless if you're using Pious Offering in Judgement

as well as straight up attunement

and then these gloves are fantastic whether you're playing slam or aura judgement, if slam judgement, you don't use a weapon, if aura judgement (consecrated ground turned into an aura around you) you use a wand/sceptre

i've made a build before that used judgement as a proccer, for smite, and it had no consecrated ground or on hit damage, i removed both. lol

Smite has this amulet which gives addition flat damage based on missing mana, so you would intentionally eat your mana pool with judgements to lower your mana, and judgement has a node that causes it to release 4 smites in the area

the node before the smite node, removes your consecrated ground

Judgements bottom right tree has a lot of benefits from hitting ignited enemies, so switching vengeance to fire, and giving it fire shred is very helpful for judgement

[polar spire]

so you could run like Vengeance, Judgement, Healing Hand, Holy Aura, Symbols of Hope as your 5, or swap Holy Aura out for a mobility skill as Holy Aura isn't that big with a judgement setup, just depends on how much movement speed you can put in if that ends up feeling better or not

like instead of holy aura, you can turn smite into a mobility skill, and it proves melee attack speed and melee fire, further boosting vengeance and judgement damage, or you can run Lunge, and that'll be up almost always. you could still keep holy aura and turn Healing Hand into your mobility skill, its on use will be the mobility, and it'll still procc its damaging side when you just use it as a proccer on melee hits.

[wraith oar]

so i should ditch those gloves on maxroll

wing guards

[polar spire]

wing guards, are nice, however, if you still wanna crit and still enjoy attack speed, i recommend Falcon Fists

they're ROGUE gloves, but they give melee attack speed and melee fire

i use them on a lot of fire builds that also enjoy attack speed

they're low level, so they're easy to find with lots of legendary potential to slam lots of affixes into

if that maxroll build is running wing guards, then its probably aura judgement

since wing guards makes it so you can't crit

which, aura judgement is far easier to setup and get the ball rolling than crit judgement, and i remember people doing 300k ticks off aura judgement

[lofty lantern]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/Devildog0326/character/Devildog0331

I know the staff isnt good for my build, but only t hing I could kill stuff in monolith with lol XD

[urban phoenix]

damn, these t8 affixes are wild

[unborn cypress]

You need to start crafting my man

Most of your affixes are T1

Also you're only running 4 skills

Oh wait you haven't got your 5th skill slot. You'll get that at Level 50. Go back to campaign and level up a bit.

You haven't done all your idol slot quests and probably not your passive points quests. Press "m" and look at the bottom left of the screen it should show you how many idol and passive quests you need.

Then go through campaign and find anybody with a blue marker over their head they have a quest for you.

[lofty lantern]

ya i need to craft stuff for sure. havnt really learned that. I followed a leveling guide that said go monoliths at chapter 5. is there a build you recommend me respeccing to that isnt the sentinel leveling build on maxroll? had a hard time with that. i tried hammer and then went to warpath. Run out of mana way to quick

[peak hollow]

Just finish the campaign first and get all passives and idols before you do monoliths

[lofty lantern]

14/15 passives and 5/8 idle slots

[unborn cypress]

Is this your first character? The leveling guide is probably made for players who want to skip content and get to end game as fast as possible.

I recommend to play through the campaign.

[lofty lantern]

I played it a while back and was decent but I think it took me a while to get going. I need to learn everything again.

[unborn cypress]

Also your will learn there are certain affixes or passive/skill nodes that are required to upkeep mana regeneration depending on your build.

If you have the patience, the game naturally teaches you through the campaign how to progress. For example, there are a few places where they prompt you to interact with the crafting Forge.

[lofty lantern]

Also can I learn circle of fortune early, like if someone had the waypoint there for me to start getting some decent gear while I go back and do campaign

[unborn cypress]

I dont play CoF but you can ask in the CoF channel. Also, the game is very doable without interacting with the CoF prophecies until chapter 9 when you find it.

But learn how to craft for sure.

[lofty lantern]

ok, appreciate the help

[wraith oar]

@polar spire is this hard to get??

[sullen jolt]

guys, im on a bleed hammerdin - two friends running the bear / primalist/ and the bear one shots all in camp. is it really that stronger then hammerdin?

[urban phoenix]

XD

[peak hollow]

some builds take more items to get online, bleed hammerdin is solid enough, comparison is the enemy of happiness

[sullen jolt]

so I will do 10 x harbi and aberroth /cant remeber the name of the boss/? solid enough.....so there is hope

[wraith oar]

@polar spire nvm i checked trade it is very rare

[lofty lantern]

I think I will try to switch to hammer leveling build if i can find a decent one to go the rest of the way through campaign

[wraith oar]

anyone know where this drops?

[lofty lantern]

Any hammer leveling build guides you guys suggest?

Like a easy noob one

Im already level 48 but going to change to new build

[waxen nymph]

Hammer Throw + ailment

It's so strong early

[olive dawn]

why multstrike is not casting smite if there is only 1 enemy?

[forest kelp]

Hallowed Arsenal?

[dense tendon]

cause smite only replaces the swords not the main attack itself i guess

[austere coral]

Unless you have Bladestorm allocated on Multistrike tree, each enemy can only be targeted by 1 strike of Multistrike, so that enemy is likely hit by initial strike and then others don't hit it

[forest kelp]

"Each additional sword is replaced with Smite"

U need node Bladestorm

[olive dawn]

ty bros

[polar bluff]

Any updated warpath levelling build for season 3? Thank you

[trim basin]

you can also get it from the new vendor, i think

[winged breach]

teh vendor where all things cost 10 k ancient bones ?

[silk wasp]

Blossom can't be purchased

[lean kestrel]

Echo's from Void knight, are they allowed to use bleed/ignite etc ?

[waxen nymph]

Yes

They are use from 0.5 sec ago

[winged breach]

for hammer din start up first try to get good throw items ? then again i probly be Spin to win in beginning ,,

havent read the paladin update , anythign big change for the basic skills ?

[silk wasp]

Nothing changed for most skills

[rigid dragon]

how goes sentinel

[normal fog]

i started as void knight with warpath at level 30 too early ?

[uncut robin]

nope

I started with warpath at level 2

[forest kelp]

Nope, dont add warrior's fury first

[normal fog]

ok

bosses take a while

[icy jay]

Increase area with rive idols affects only rive 3rd strike or even the first 2?

[rigid dragon]

What build should i go levelings and what build endgame

[uncut robin]

warpath and warpath

[rigid dragon]

Erasing strike or warpath?

[rigid dragon]

why

[icy jay]

Depends on the build

[rigid dragon]

also if i make a paladin can i switch to void knight or no im locked

[wooden wyvern]

u can switch

[rigid dragon]

ok phew cause leveling guide says to use paladin then switch to voidknight

im using maxroll is that ok

or avoid it

[uncut robin]

it's fine

[icy jay]

Tbh leveling guides are useless, just try skills you like

Campaign is quite easy

You are free to try stuff

[waxen nymph]

Should be all of them and even the pull area from Strike 2

[icy jay]

Ty

[rigid dragon]

ok so what do you recommend senpai lol. I just like being told what to do

[icy jay]

I recommend play what you like and learn mechanics. If you finish campaign few hours before cause you are following a guide there is no prize for you

[rigid dragon]

ive playued the game before and got to end game using void orbs but was wanting something different this time

[gloomy orchid]

does the holy trail from javelin stack ?

[coral tinsel]

dam ill take it

[rigid dragon]

how does this rift beast work? is there certain evolution paths we need to take

[turbid dome]

Different evolutions add different parts and item drops to each beast if the lineage you kill

The ones you want are based on the hunter shop items

Like if you need ancient petals, pick an evolution that makes it drop petals

[rigid dragon]

ok is there aguide on what we want as vks

[glossy fern]

The feel to go warpath again this season, I do a build for each class each season and spin2win was so fun

[normal fog]

go warpath its ez

[glossy fern]

Did it last season, might have to do it again

[west dock]

How exactly it works btw. I choosed horns for example, for evoulution petals. But it still drops only horns. But extra drop was added like boots.

[turbid dome]

From the ones I’ve done each petal/horn/claw I added made each rift beast drop one copy of the material

You can check the lineage the next nest you go to for a sanity check

[rigid dragon]

how muchj does it cost to respec from paladin to ck

vk

[turbid dome]

The more points/levels you got the more pensive it gets

[turbid dome]

Tis a new season, gotta look at the items and see what looks cool

[rigid dragon]

at level 70 what would be the cost, the guide says not to switch till then

or should i just build straight into vk

[turbid dome]

You can level as vk perfectly fine

Idk the respec at 70 specifically but that’s about when it starts getting way more expensive per level

[rigid dragon]

so ignore the leveling guide

[turbid dome]

Yeah the pally leveling thing is probs just whatever they thought the giga best leveling spec would be

But like you can clear well into monos with rive, void cleave and erasing strike on vk

[rigid dragon]

vk done

ok what points into void cleave and erasing strike while leveling

[turbid dome]

In the bottom left of void cleave there’s a node that makes your next erasing strike always crit

Then in es just take the node by the start that gives flat damage and just walk around looking for damage nodes

In rive your gonna want the upper left path as that’s the void path

[rigid dragon]

ah ok iscrewed up rive then, ive gone intot he fire sword pets

[turbid dome]

Fire swords is fine for when your pally

But vk wants void

and also double echo chance

[rigid dragon]

these ones up top

[vocal sinew]

fortunately respecing is easy and it doesn't take very long to get those skill points back

[turbid dome]

Yeah up there through the 0/1 big node with the axe (weapon master)

Foe reaver is also very good too

[rigid dragon]

so go all top up to temporal warrior

[turbid dome]

Yea

And make sure to use an axe with weapon master

[elfin warren]

Any Rive or Electrify Jav enjoyer?

[turbid dome]

I know time rot jav got nerfed, idk if that hit electrify jav

[lean quiver]

Did electrify last season still seems good now

[leaden totem]

doing a multistrike electrfy paladin build.

[noble zenith]

did electrify jav last season, it was insanely strong

[elfin warren]

Was thinking about that last season. Looks cool but somehow clunky as you need to be in melee range

[elfin warren]

Ty. I'll check it out then

[uncut robin]

I'm trying to do an ignite shield throw build but rn it feels like 90% of my dps is from hits?

[waxen nymph]

No that was just TR

[earnest berry]

any1 got a loot filter for Devo orb time rot VK ?

[granite forge]

dang where are all the forge guards this season

[turbid dome]

Sleeping in

[uneven gorge]

I'm on my multistrike bleed pali

Only because I can't build reflect spriggan because every time I open my stash I crash

[queen glade]

Any1 doing Warpath with T8 reduced mana cost? How is the ramp compared to last season

[karmic sparrow]

What primal items would erasing strike want besides flay boots? If any

[haughty canopy]

Like always

[dense tendon]

flay boots arent primordial

permanence of primal knowledge with void cleave levels on your relic might be usable idk

[silk wasp]

At work

[winged breach]

eating >? dinner time ..

[pseudo parcel]

stuck at work bro

(this is a cry for help)

[winged breach]

stuck at work ? ho w many more hours till end ?

[pseudo parcel]

2 or so

[silk wasp]

3 for me

[pseudo parcel]

It do be like that

[dense tendon]

is this new

[turbid dome]

No

[forest kelp]

Are the mobs buffed? They hit me so hard!

😭

[dense tendon]

yeah we kinda need to play the game now

[silk wasp]

Nems definitely are stronger

[dense tendon]

actually idk if old mobs are stronger but the new mobs hit hard

[silk wasp]

I got deleted twice last night trying to face tank. And the rift beasts are just as dangerous

[turbid dome]

I ended up giving my first rift beast 4 parts that all gave it a big dash attack

Now I have it in the pokeball amulet

[dense tendon]

does everyone get this amulet from ending the first bloodline or something

also this feels like getting a nihilis are like lvl 40 damn

[silk wasp]

The one I'm fighting now has lightning horns and 2 heads shooting lava all over

[turbid dome]

No idea

Probably

[forest kelp]

Dont have new mtx for wolf

[lavish prism]

yo, is judgement paladin still viable? or did they gut it

[silk wasp]

It's fine

[lavish prism]

on the fence, how is VK?

[turbid dome]

They only really touched es and slightly warpath

But even then both are still viable and solid (imo)

[sour thistle]

Does Palarus's Sacred Light scale off my smite if i spec into it?

[turbid dome]

The smite triggered by the sword uses your smite tree

Any time a skill is triggered it uses the tree if you have it specced

Do note this includes mana cost and mana consumed from the skill tree

[sour thistle]

every cast would use the mana cost?

i found the sword and contemplating whether i change my spec to smite as my damage is kinda low

[dense tendon]

you can make it 0 mana with a wand or sceptre in the main hand

[sullen jolt]

wii it be difficult to get these in CoF? from new mechanic?

[turbid dome]

You just craft those at the goat hunter bro

That should be the only source

[sullen jolt]

craft? so in Trade guild not available?

[turbid dome]

Have you opened the hunter shop

[dense tendon]

this one drops from beasts

[turbid dome]

Oh that’s a beast only drop

[sullen jolt]

the guy in claw portal - yes - they r notthere

[turbid dome]

Beans

CoF should help then if you can get one that targets rift beasts

[sullen jolt]

and trade?

[turbid dome]

Depends on how many people have gotten them to drop

Tho they seem like a popular item so expect a high price

[forest kelp]

All fine only need down coruption, mobs hit so hard now

[sour thistle]

for early leveling is abyssal echoes or devouring orb more damage?

[sullen jolt]

do u think my bleed hammerdin will be okk without thses new beast gloves?

[waxen nymph]

It was a fine build before the gloves existed

[gaunt sand]

Does my holy aura buffs work for my friends necro minions? for example the fire/lightning pen my aura provides.

[turbid dome]

It should affect every ally in the radius

You can see if their damage goes up with the target dummies in champions gate

[dense tendon]

my beasts dash off screen and curl up

[silk wasp]

Adorable

[dense tendon]

are people gonna be posting these with 4 lp or what

[tall ingot]

How far can judgement / javelin hit stuff? Can you reach the full screen / hit offscreen with it?

[waxen nymph]

Judgment Javelin?

[modern crystal]

ithink theese might be funny with my fire shieldthrow

[dark jay]

Can someone help me with temporal sanctum lvl 3 ?

[silk wasp]

Probably not. 3lp though sure

[sullen jolt]

anyone running smite fissure / lightning?

[gleaming cape]

What's the move for sentinel this season? Just hit 70 on my generic pally build. Debating what I want to actually spec into.

[lost portal]

yo can i get a SHEEEEESHHHH

[latent monolith]

How accurate is the in game dps tooltip? Based on the guide I am following I should be moving away from a 2h weapon and using a shield + wand/sceptre, but doing so I lose 1600 dps on rive for 10-30 dps gain on javelin. And that's with a bunch of passives that gives me a bonus to dmg when using a shield, so not contributing at all to me dmg right now

How on earth did you get two sunwreaths at 36 already lol. But you don't need to follow it exactly, Jav when leveled up will do a lottt more than rive. I don't think I have ever switched off a 2 hander until I unlocked judgement.

You will use both jav and rive at the same time.

[latent monolith]

I think i got them both via.........I don't know remember what they're called. you can empower, fight or banish them

[gleaming cape]

That's super lucky off nemesis at that level. Congrats.

[latent monolith]

that and coming from poe I'm not COMPLETLY stupid when it comes to builds and what not. So I'm wondering if the in game tool tip shows the bonuses stacking properly or not

and speaking of drops. this seems nice. flat +1 to all sentinel skills

[waxen nymph]

Warpath, ES and judgement are still the top end meta

[turbid dome]

dont trust tooltip dps

go to champions gate and hit the target dummies

[gleaming cape]

Hmmm I ran judgement last season. Maybe I'll go beat my head against a wall for a couple hours and see if I can get a world splitter lol.

[waxen nymph]

The dps tooltip is a liar, it's trying its best, but it's a liar

[latent monolith]

this makes sense to me coming from poe where you basically ignore the in game stuff and only look at pob

[turbid dome]

also dont trust your character sheet numbers

i want oerden's watch but for damage types

[jolly fjord]

is it possible to farm world splitter with 100 corruption?

yeah but the chance goes up with more

[jolly fjord]

alright thanks!

[vagrant mantle]

what t8 or primordial uniques can ES use now ?

[sharp osprey]

nem a bunch of em and reroll it with a 3 affix nem

[polar spire]

honest to god would use these on a normal melee build, its the only boots with attack speed LMAO

sentinel taking other classes gear, gonna use acolyte's flay boots and rogues falcon fists

[vagrant mantle]

i read the flay boots but i don't see how it works outiside of using the flay skill

am I missing something ?

[polar spire]

using it for the attack speed

thats it

just like rogues falcon fists, they give attack speed and melee fire, i use em over wing guards because wing guards disable crit

these 2 pair best with a crit manifest armor, since manifest armor gets up to 240% of the stats from gloves and boots

ok maybe not the boots, suleron's prob works better there

well maybe that depends on how much negative phys resist you want on your ma lmao

[vagrant mantle]

i see thank you, i thought there's some tech to proc flay and then im missing out

[polar spire]

and then falcon fists are just good in general for forged weapons, since phantom grips add your glove stats to forged weapons

and then falcon fists are also low level, so easy 3/4lp

theres like almost no reason to use wing guards now unless you REALLY need that extra attack speed, falcon fists are half the attack speed, but far easier to LP

i think only build ive seen someone post that REALLY needs that extra attack speed from wing guards is aura judgement

[wraith sorrel]

Is there a way to actually calculate DPS from this, or are we just looking at numbers and guessing?

[lofty lantern]

Playing hammer bleed now. Thanks for info. Will play this until I am geared enough for void warpath build

[polar bluff]

Started playing void knight warpath right away..believe me its easy.

[lofty lantern]

i about quit last night. couldnt kill anything. decided to finish campaign 5-9 with hammer and doing better

[lofty lantern]

but also i didnt know how to craft and all that yet. I have that kinda figured out now. Will try again on the warpath but not now. spent 44k gold 3 times to respec from paladin back to void and back and forth trying to get the build to work haha

pretty much noob mistakes that i learned my lesson from

[granite forge]

how is the new carrion bleed gloves? as someone who is a fan of the bleed explosion playstyle in POE 1 (gladiator) I was hyped when i saw them

[lofty lantern]

i want those too XD

[cold dock]

are FG forged weapons minions builds playing the new Primal Cadence? or just sticking with Clothos Needle?

[granite forge]

they are really the only reason i went bleed paladin this season LOL

[lofty lantern]

oh nice. i went bleed hammer after failing at void warpath

but now having so much fun with bleed hammer

May make a new character for void warpath to keep this guy as is XD

[iron basin]

electrify paladin time? 👀

[lofty lantern]

oh nice plus smite on it

[lofty lantern]

I see it says Primordial. is that part of the new season gear?

[iron basin]

yeah primordials are either T8 affixes or unique. you can only have 1 primordial item equipped

[lofty lantern]

oh ok its like a artifact type deal

nice. i havnt found any but im doing chapter 10 atm

[wraith oar]

yo can anyone kill tier 4 temporal sanctum yet

[iron basin]

the T8 is always sealed too so you can't put it on a legendary item

[lofty lantern]

can someone explain the loot filter colors to me please. sometimes red which i think is really good. blue with all cap letters. purple seems like epic until you see it in inventory its different color

[empty timber]

Are maxroll builds on sentinel good to follow? I noticed they dont seem to use the seasonal items at all, idk if the guy has made an effort in updating them or not really

[real token]

All of the builds are updated for season 3

[empty timber]

if it aint "the guy" himself hahaha ok gotcha, guess none of the new uniques fit the class, thanks

[real token]

Yea it's mostly adding primordial item, bunch of melee builds enjoy army of skin too etc

[shy sorrel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTVnDFTumbc zDPS forgeguard in legacy league

poking about

[daring lion]

which among the purchasable primordials is the best for Forge Weapons build?

[wraith oar]

holy fk i hate this flames of midnight ring

why is it recommended on maxroll?

this spirit step feels disgusting

[latent monolith]

Is there a price check tool kicking around, so I can see if some uniques I am getting are worth keeping or not

[shy sorrel]

none are worth anything per se - just check the legendary portential everything with a 3+ is worth something. and if you hit endgame bosses the ones with 2+ are in the money

[latent monolith]

ok, and odds are anything I get while leveling won't have any LP worth selling

is there anything worthwhile to get from the Hunter vendor for VK?

doesnt look like it at first glance so idk what to spend the currencies on

[latent monolith]

Why do I get the feeling that I am using up my luck already during the campaign. So far I've found three if not four of these sunwreathrings

[polar spire]

Anyone else feel like this season is dry compared to last season?

[gleaming cape]

Not particularly? All the stuff from last season is there, there’s more variation in the monoliths and a ton of new items. Act 10 was cool too.

If you’re talking specifically sentinel, then yeah the focus is on acolyte and primalist this season.

Although I am still beating my head against a wall trying to get a world splitter to drop so I can switch off of judgement paladin - ran it all last season and I really don’t want to stay with it a second time.

[polar spire]

i mean compared to previous seasons in terms of content, just feels kinda meh

a new act and some new uniques

like i love last epoch, even more than poe, but just

this season feels meh

[lavish prism]

yes, the new mechanic is kind of whatever.

[stray mango]

Literally Nemesis but with a slightly different UI.

[lavish prism]

Now, I don't know if theres a boss after uber abberoth, but if there is, I'm interested

[polar spire]

yea pretty much

[sudden sigil]

i grind monos for 3 days
i kill uber
i go play poe2
repeat every 4 months

[lavish prism]

warpath viable for uber? I did it with judgement last year

[sudden sigil]

tbh i thought it'd be a bit less of a grind getting primordial uniques since you'll want good rolls and lp

i dont think you even really get more currency from corruption

might just give up and go for a t8

[lavish prism]

would've been better if the primordial items had evolutions instead of the monsters

some crafting dopamine

[sweet crane]

Anyone have a leveling build for sentinel

[lavish prism]

go warpath/rine or rive or wahtever its called and then go into judgement

fastest easiest way

I took my alt to 70 in 3hrs

[waxen nymph]

If you gear it up, you can't do almost anything
So yeah

[feral halo]

anyone beat uber aberoth yet with what build?

[viscid garnet]

Alright chat, new season time to make a FG around forge strike again and cry as it sucks. Lowkey thinking of full crit with the new overkill primordial axe

[leaden totem]

How much is the t6level for warpath?

[polar spire]

forge strike sucks? huh? yea only if you base it around minions

if you go full crit or bleed with it, its more than fine

[flint summit]

is it common to have not found any channel cost affixes at lvl 80?

[plush ingot]

is there anything worthwhile to get from the Hunter vendor for VK?
doesnt look like it at first glance so idk what to spend the currencies on

[flint oracle]

wondering that myself, im using t8 reduced channel on helm so u need to buy the rune from it

other than that, idk if a unique there is good, the relic one that boosts them by 60% might be END game but idk

any end game warpath min maxers?

[plush ingot]

hey wdym buy the rune from it? theres a helmet with reduced cost?

[flint oracle]

if u dont play warpath disregard my comment

anyone still doing erasing strike?

I'm playing hammerdin and my hammers getting sucked into the map ? There are some areas where my hammers just...vanish. Thats normal ?

No

Please be sure to report every instance 🙏

[lean kestrel]

Via the ingame bug report ?

[waxen nymph]

That's the best way indeed

Press F8

[lean kestrel]

Ahright, thanks.

[fluid obsidian]

So whats a good primordial item for erasing strike void knight?

[languid geyser]

guys i wanna start leveling void knight and i managed to get Harmony of the First with LP1 and slapped 244% inc. physical damage OR i also got Dreamthorn with +73% void damage on LP1. what would be the way?

[hollow glen]

is this worth anything ?

[wraith oar]

i feel like everyone using world splitter

[dense tendon]

decent first time merophage ever

[arctic egret]

How accurate are tooltips in this game for core abilities? E.g. is tooltip dps generally a good reference to whether one item is better than another, or it may ignore some important bonuses/interactions?

[uneven gorge]

never trust it, that number means nothing and will lie to you

[arctic egret]

That was my suspicion as well, I've been recently spoiled by Grim Dawn where it actually works very well

Was surprised seeing something that should intuitively be better show lower dps

[simple reef]

triple prefix NOWAY

[scenic gyro]

harmony is probably easier to scale while lvling

[languid geyser]

yep tried it and got 6k dps on lvl 23

[languid geyser]

but i have to build my own build coz i have that 244% inc phys dmg on it and if i convert to VOID i actually lose dps but its not an issue at all just going holy aura instead for now

[daring lion]

which stats in Primal Cadence affect forge weapons? Forge Weapons dont have stats right so they dont benefit from the crit multi? and the crit for you and minions only applies once to them? its not a double dip like fire and minion pen suffix

im trying to figure out which primal unique is best for FW

[languid geyser]

but i am thinking there is that new primal helmet that gives mana on hit but no mana regen so I wonder if we could sustain on warpath with it in endgame

[waxen nymph]

@half reef How Vengeance going?

[half reef]

It's going. I haven't been going very hard, last night was the first night I got more than 3 hours of sleep in roughly two weeks. So as a result I'm only at base empowered rn, workin on filling out blessings

[waxen nymph]

Did you lvl with that straight away?

[half reef]

Ticking like 20k or so on mages rn, so not too bad considering my budget lol

[half reef]

Pretty much yeah. Was like 5.5 hours, give or take.

[waxen nymph]

Noice

[scenic gyro]

easily, you also have channel cost affix on helmet you can slap on and alot of reduced channel costs in warpath tree

[half reef]

It's fun to have clear built in too

Yup, works like a charm

Bossing ain't too bad for where I'm at, first harby was down in I wanna say 50 seconds tops?

[waxen nymph]

Oo

Hope I can do as good

[half reef]

I'm def feeling my low defenses a bit though, tough to keep up on that part :P

I can't just be lazy and slap in all res blessing on this build due to how nutty slow is for TR damage

[silk wasp]

Was the SW Bolster bug fix in the patch notes and I just missed it? 🤔

[waxen nymph]

Not in the patch notes

[fair hollow]

anyone tried the primal cadence axe yet? how is the aoe feeling?

[waxen nymph]

No sorry

How is Spell MA doing?

[fair hollow]

great so far lvl 90 blasting through

[obsidian badge]

is there any point in finishing the campaign after you unlock all your passive and idol slots?

[fair hollow]

you get a few attributes from completing campaign

[icy jay]

+2 to all attributes last for finishing the whole thing

[obsidian badge]

gotcha ok, so not bad

[icy jay]

I'd say mid

[waxen nymph]

And act 10 looks great

Haven't finished it yet

[obsidian badge]

oh yeah ok. Forgot they added more content. cool thx

[icy jay]

Yeay looks nice

I usually finish it cause i take my time

[dense tendon]

damn you just get to empowered right after that one harb huh

[half reef]

Ooh, new top end tick @waxen nymph 34k on a rift beast

Welp off to get my weapon I go

I am well aware how strange this looks, just trust the process @waxen nymph

[dense tendon]

...i shattered a weapon and bricked my merophage

[half reef]

Reason #2 why I don't touch that

[waxen nymph]

Oh no!

[waxen nymph]

Sexy !

[pastel bramble]

any sentinal build shinig this season?

levling is what it is but endgame

[waxen nymph]

Same old

[half reef]

Oh yeah Vlad did I show you my meme project for this season, assuming I get around to it?

[waxen nymph]

Vengeance TR?

Or smth else?

[half reef]

Something else. Something far, far worse.

[dense tendon]

this bloodline glade map only drops t8 champion affixes 😡

homemade world splitter

[simple reef]

rune of ascendance into the real thing?

[wise sequoia]

when playing judgment and using multistrike to get mana to use judgment does the action bar placement matter when i press both to spam ? judgment to the left or right of multistrike or something ?

[cerulean sorrel]

this season mechanic is boring and pointless or?

[simple reef]

When pressing multiple buttons at the same time, the game prioritizes abilities that can be cast from left to right

[wise sequoia]

thank you!

[viscid garnet]

anyone played big hammer w the new 2h overkill axe?

[forest kelp]

Can imprint with champions slot?

[rare hull]

Hey guys any warpath void knight leveling guys I can use?

[red kettle]

Heyho guys! Can anyone please help me to get a world splitter? This is my first season and im trying to make a warpath vk

[waxen nymph]

You need to reach empower and farm the harbinger

[dense tendon]

dont have 1 lp yolo

not good

[tropic mirage]

can someone take a look at my char somehow and help me? fissure smite

[frail cipher]

what replaces glyph of envy? it looks like they changed it and now it doesnt raise corruption

[simple reef]

temporal keystones i think they're called?

keep playing and you'll find some eventually

[rugged elbow]

Any1 else playing shield throw?

[waxen nymph]

Send a planner

[solid pivot]

I think more people are rocking minion pals this time around lol

[waxen nymph]

Need help with smth?

[rugged elbow]

Wich primal did u go for?

Im using the nest but thinking of swaping for an primal exalted armor

[gleaming cape]

Sounds like this amulet has the potential to cover the screen in judgement 🤣

[tropic mirage]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/KBDEATHMEDIC/character/GreatValhir

i die alot and strugle with 150 corruption

[iron basin]

Aight I need help deciding on my silly sentinel project for the season. Options being:
Electrify javelin paladin
Reflect FG
Siege Breaker Shield Throw
DoT Smelter's Wrath

[waxen nymph]

Nest is bis imo

I saw Maxroll going for t8 shield Throw on 'helmet

[rugged elbow]

I think t8 on helmet is bait

[waxen nymph]

You weapon is completely killing you

It has Flat necrotic dmg

Also I would convert to lightning

Imo your problem is you don't have enough dmg, so you can't clear fast enough

You should have enough defense for that kind of content

[rugged elbow]

And from my calculation i can get the same amount of reflect going for t8 reflect on armor, the thing about nest is that the rest of the item is garbage imo, it takes the place of code of the erased for instance wich is one of the best items in the game, makes sense?

[waxen nymph]

T8 reflect armor is less reflect than a 60% nest with 16 idols

At least if you have well rolled idols

[tropic mirage]

yeah it takes me 5 minutes to kill a echo boss i havent found a base remotely good this was the best thing ive found and convert to lightning? i was following carn and he doesnt wouldnt i have to change my whole build around for that

[rugged elbow]

if u have 100+- on each and is using one 2x2 idol its 960 reflect from a 60% nest ( armour can get up to 1200 wich is 600 higher than the t7 ), but i do agree that nest is BiS if u have all ur idols on the upper roll annd some with health

[waxen nymph]

Convert lightning
Get a staff with Crit Multi and Ele Dot
Slap on Titan Heart

Go brrrrr

At least take a staff

I guess you could work on Endurance and Crit Mitigation

[tropic mirage]

i mean i was following the guide that used xylem and i did HELLA dmg but if anything hit me i fell over

friend told me about carns unkillable build and i saw his video

looked good

i just dont have any dmg

[waxen nymph]

I am not familiar with Carn's version

You are Softcore?

[tropic mirage]

yes

but i play hc on all other games not familiar with this game enough yet to trusy myself to go hc

and dying is my biggest pet peeve i get mad about it lol

[waxen nymph]

Imo go back to a lightning version and a staff

I played VK Void as a starter last patch and I had no dmg issue

[tropic mirage]

a few seasons ago i played void smite and loved it its just gear dependent

i just dont like a glass cannon build like the staff lightning smite was

[waxen nymph]

Did you had Titan Heart?

[tropic mirage]

no

i dont even know what that i slol

[waxen nymph]

Ah

Body Armor

[tropic mirage]

oh

oh wait is that the boss drop armor?

[waxen nymph]

No

Random drop

Rather common even

[tropic mirage]

oh

[waxen nymph]

If you want to keep shield

At least change your weapon

Half of your flat dmg is necrotic and don't benefit from a lot of your stats

[tropic mirage]

kk ill work on that thank you

[wise sequoia]

shield throw anygood ?

[waxen nymph]

Not top tier S+ meta
But yes

[wraith oar]

ur buggin

just get a 1 lp one

wtf

[vagrant bone]

hmmm wonder if Multistrike without smite is good

[waxen nymph]

Yes

[vagrant bone]

hmmm so kinda like a zeal paladin almost from d2?

[wraith oar]

also

how the fk do you get 3k mana on sentinel

it seems impossible

for erasing strike

[wise sequoia]

im undecided between shield throw, erasing strike, judgement for sentinel, if im looking for a very good clear and decent bosser which would it be

[austere frost]

Erasing strike clear and bossing is excellent, did get nerfed still very good.

[waxen nymph]

Yup

[vagrant bone]

nice taking a guess physical dmg based with atk speed? prob go paladin with it?

[unkempt halo]

When’s a good time to switch from leveling build to erasing strike

[vagrant bone]

prob level 70

[vagrant mantle]

https://i.imgur.com/Hg2LbQJ.png
random drop

[quasi forum]

Neat!

Did judgement get nerfed? I see it's not a top tier build on Maxroll anymore

[gleaming cape]

Still S for corruption and mono's. I'm rocking it at 200 corruption without even thinking as I beat my head against the wall trying to get a world splitter to drop.

[quasi forum]

Mood

I'm only on chapter 7 ATM

Trying to keep my resists up, making sure I have Health on Hit to stay alive, Rift Beasts really seem stronger than anything else in the campaign so far, aside from Chanpions

[icy fox]

what primordial item from the beast shop could be good on void knight?

cuz idk what to aim for

[quasi forum]

I've had my eye on the offhand that boosts Idol stats

[icy fox]

what are the thoughts on the primal cadence? the 2hand axe

[novel forge]

Alright boys just downloaded this game I always played rogue style classes I’m fully all in on judgment paladin I named him saint michael I am the paladin now

[waxen nymph]

I believe forge Strike is better

That way you can use a 2h a'd a shield

[vagrant bone]

oh okay

[icy fox]

so i started end of last season but im curious..since im quite new, are any of the primordial items any good for void knight

cuz i really couldnt tell

[narrow valley]

does reflect sentinel stand any hair against reflect shaman?

I really prefer to not play a tree

if possible

[uneven gorge]

Yeah, you can still get 300k reflects. And you have like twice the effective hp

[narrow valley]

got build I can yoink?

[uneven gorge]

I made a reflect pali, tho it's a bit end game https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/B5ngpjXo

I take it that you're also currently playing this?

[quasi forum]

Looks like it's meant for minions? Or at least has minion support

If you were running Forge Strike that might make use of it better

Lemme see what other primordial items are there

[uneven gorge]

Nah, I can't even play cus I crash when I open my stash

[narrow valley]

same lmao

[uneven gorge]

You can still likely take this to uberroth though; just dodge the slams and wait for him to melt

[narrow valley]

just gonna use the new loot filter feature to filter everything

[quasi forum]

Blossom of Immortal Stone is good if you have super-capped Phys resist

Fangs of the Berserker has some nice bonuses, but it requires potions to make use of

Permanence of Primal Knowledge would be good for Warpath since it'd increase its area of effect

I still think Reliquary Nest is best for general use if you have good rolls on your idols

Truesight Glass seems to reward overcapping crit chance, which I've yet to do and I dunno if is possible on VK, but the crit multi is nice

Wildfire Embers seems to be another Forge Strike item

@icy fox Overall it seems that...Not a lot of the Primordial items help VKs specifically? I'm sure they'll add more later, but

[daring lion]

Anyone can advise me which Primordial in NPC shop is best for FG minions build?

[gleaming cape]

27 kills so far and nothing. Here's to 28 🍻

[quasi forum]

What're you farming?

[gleaming cape]

Harbinger of Hatred for world splitter lol. I want to switch off judgement to erasing strike

[dense tendon]

can you make set shard affixes primordial

[peak zodiac]

blossom of immortal stone on a forge guard will make you real big and beefy, especially with the high armor and dr that class has

[icy fox]

so sentinel wise whats actually the best end game build? is it warpath or are there better ones now with the whole primordial items

[dense tendon]

pretty sure you just wanna do this on fg

[gleaming cape]

Warpath, Erasing Strike, Judgement.

Well insanely god damn mid, but cheers to Kill 31

[icy fox]

god this relic at some point recently..it had 15 rolls..just lol

[waxen nymph]

Forge Guard, not Strike btw

[wraith oar]

i switched off judgement to erasing

judgement dont got enough aoe for me

warpath good for clear too

[icy fox]

ye i was doing judgement to level up a bit, got to 51 now, bout to be 52 soon to have the void well

also got this aswell

[quasi forum]

Oh right, that

Grats on your first Splitter! May future ones be better!

[icy fox]

would the weap i got be a good replacement till i get a splitter?

[mental flare]

question, in LE tools some items have this clarification: 10% drop chance (up to 22% chance with increased item rarity). This 12% it's just corruption increasing item rarity or is there any other source?

[unborn cypress]

What do you guys think of Blosoom of Immortal Stone for Judgment Pally?

[daring lion]

So how does this translate to Forge Weapon build? I can see how it makes me hard to kill tho

I was thinking either the 2h axe, the shield or the trex relic. Not sure which one tho

The ring that benefits sets sorta interesting since we will be using the headgear sunforge affix anyway

[peak zodiac]

being tanky is always good, forge guard tends to have very high armor due to passives and building strength, and armor is more effective vs. physical. it’s not going to buff your forged weapons directly if that’s what you’re asking

[daring lion]

Oh, but I'm stacking Attunement for FW. Not Str 🙁

[peak zodiac]

the problem with the axe is the fws can’t use most of the effects and the duration of fws is short which means they’re not going to consistently have the t-rex buff

you should have really high armor regardless, fg gets a ton of armor for free

[daring lion]

True.

I just wanted the Axe for the hit damage and the phys and minion on implicit. Crit also good but doesn't benefit from the crit dmg str scaler

[peak zodiac]

and they won’t get the overkill stuff either unfortunately. it’s worth considering. the set ring enabling you to not have to use a mace is a good shout.

[icy fox]

sorry wdym permanence of primal knowledge am i blind i dont see it?also immortal stone

[gleaming cape]

Thanks, I'm going to slam it into a nemesis tower echo and hope for the best lol. But I'll just keep farming for them as I switch my loot filter over to ES to get gear prepped for the change.

[quasi forum]

These:

[icy fox]

oh they arent actually in the beast shop are they

[quasi forum]

Erp, yeah, you're right...Level 65+ rift beasts

[icy fox]

cuz i was looking at this

[quasi forum]

Right

In that case I'd save up for the Nest

[unborn cypress]

Is that ring really going to be better than a phantom grip though?

[mental flare]

does this duplicates the skill lvl for nihilis?

if rolled +2 nihilis

[quasi forum]

If the example is true, then yes, but take what I said with a grain of salt

[novel geyser]

anyone have a setup to follow to level erasing strike until 85?

[peak zodiac]

level as pally if you wanna be fast, if you wanna play es early use vengeance as a generator

[daring lion]

....yeaaaaah you right you right XD

Hence why I'm suffering inside on what to go for

[dense cedar]

whats the best sentinel warpath build right now?

[daring lion]

VK Warpath accdg to Maxroll

[dense cedar]

running a VK warpath spellcaster version with orb+echo+smite+symbols atm

just wasn't sure how well that does

compared to others

[austere coral]

Could someone test thing for me, cuz I'm not sure if that's real or I'm tripping balls, but it seems like Shield Rush moves faster if cursor is closer to the character when initiating rush

[ocean bobcat]

what is glyph?

[icy fox]

isnt the volca warpath VK build the only one on max?

[waxen nymph]

It's a RM spell

[turbid dome]

to tack on its one of RM's actualy skill spells, not one of his 40 invokes

[daring lion]

Maybe I just get the Dino

And call it a build

Hahaha

Huhuhu

[iron basin]

Engi what should I do for my sentinel project of the season

options are:
Electrify javelin paladin
Reflect FG
Siege Breaker Shield Throw
DoT Smelter's Wrath

[waxen nymph]

Siège Breaker?

[peak zodiac]

if you’re brave enough for smelter’s wrath go smelter’s wrath imo

[waxen nymph]

Is that the cooldown node?

[iron basin]

yes

[icy jay]

All my past attempts to build around smelter wrath ended in tears

[iron basin]

I took it to aberroth and like ~600c last season with a crit build

[peak zodiac]

yeah, you have to be borderline masochistic, but it’s undeniably one of the most badass things you can do

[iron basin]

grim dawn got me wanting to find more CD focused builds. not everything in that game scales with attack/cast speed and still does well

[icy jay]

I know i'm all for trying stuff

[waxen nymph]

I tried a bleed version with Torkefin

And Range Forge Strike

💀💀💀

[iron basin]

lol

[waxen nymph]

At least you know 1 thing you should not try

[iron basin]

feels like you really need to take advantage of the bonus ricochets behind siege breaker which would imply some kind of crit build imo

[fringe barn]

Running a primalist this time around, and had to go jump on my ol void knight just to feel speed and power

[iron basin]

because of all the extra armor shred you get

[fringe barn]

not saying primarlist is not fun, but damn does sentinal feel great comparative

[peak zodiac]

primalist just has the worst like level 1-20ish in the game by a landslide

once things start getting online it’s super fun imo

[iron basin]

yeah early primalist leveling can be rough. just because it's slow. it can be fairly safe with wolves+totems doing all the heavy lifting. you just have to dodge

[peak zodiac]

every other class has an early skill that’s insane for leveling, some have multiple and primalist has stuff that’s okay but compared to the leveling skills the other 4 have they’re trash

[fringe barn]

Yeah, mapping has been ok. I'm just trying to get my stuff for raptors now.... otherwise naming my primalst OwenGrady was a waste. 😄

[flint oracle]

awww, only see top 50 in the lvl 100, i got 57 lol

[wraith oar]

bruh the nemesis came thru!!!

[stiff inlet]

trip report: Immortal reflect paladin is bonkers

What kind of enemy hp/ damage is at 2k+ corruption?

[quasi totem]

Are we allowed to post a LE Planner link to see if our build idea is any good?

[half reef]

Yeah why wouldn't you be

[quasi totem]

I dunno, I just wanted to be sure is all.

So...this is a really basic version as far as gear goes, I don't have a lot of super rare items to work with...but it's based on a multi-smite build. I obviously do not have those idols yet either 😛 might need to use some of them for resists or something, but those are what I want? I think? I dunno 😛 https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/QJdj893o

[steady quarry]

Think I'm going insane. I don't know if I'm just really unlucky or doing something wrong. Black Sun harbi won't spawn. Only on part 2 so 100 corruption should be enough. Gone up to 165 and I'm getting tired of killing the bird without him spawning now... Still rocking leveling build and up to level 87 now 😕

[half reef]

Some quick mild criticisms that pop out to me; there's not a lot of value in putting points past 20 in base Sentinel imo, you're trying to spend mana not keep it up, and Blademaster does not give enough benefit to warrant skipping points in Paladin tree I would say. Example, Defiance has a really nice threshold bonus for Pally on account of them getting basically free res, and then there's DoT to armor in Covenant of Protection. Admittedly I'm not sure Devotion is worth the slot, it's a wonderful amulet for hit-based Smite or self-casting, but with this the only thing it's giving you of note is a slight amount of pen (not good enough value with how much you already have), some increased lightning damage (of which you already have a lot), I guess some healing effect (that's fine), and endurance (you can make up for that easily).
I'm tempted to try and find a way to shift some Symbols of Hope points for the block chance (it's insane), maybe look for a Code with +4 on it?
Outside of that, seems fine to me :) I don't think it'll be uber killer, but uber is not well balanced imo. I noticed you don't plan with exalts or leggies at all, I assume personal preference, but if you need recs for that I have some ideas on leggies.

[quasi totem]

You're right, I don't plan for ubers. exalts, or legendaries. I consider those to generally be bonuses, if I can get them, great, but I want a build that is more or less fully functional without hopes and dreams 😛

[half reef]

Yeah makes sense :P I'm a loser/degen so I plan a full endgame variant first and then a lower version later.

[quasi totem]

I would definitely keep at least 25 in base though, the mana per attack is vital for keeping up with mana cost on multi-smite. I could absolutely take the 5 points out from the end of the tree though and find a better home for them from your list of suggestions though, and see about trying to find a way to add more SoH.

And getting rid of devotion is no biggie at all 🙂

[stiff inlet]

how are you getting corruption so fast goodness. Existing char?

[manic cradle]

legacy :p

also this build is super fast for mapping

[stiff inlet]

haha fair. I rolled a new char and holy moley is it good. I was doing 100c monos at level 65

[manic cradle]

faster than mana stacking sorc in 1.1 (the fastest ive played so far)

I rolled a new char as well yesterday

[stiff inlet]

I ended up using a non-specialized shield rush as my travel skill

[manic cradle]

it's just that fast :p
