Cleric's hammer triggers on use

oh, so does warpath not trigger it at all?

silk wasp

Once, when you press the button

tawny cedar
#

ah, okay

#

hmph, ah well, seemed like a fun idea

I’m a new one hand and shield Paladin, what skills should I be Specializing? I’m debating on doing Holy Aura at the moment but have no idea what I’m doing

Greetings.
Is warpath still good this season ?

#

I don't see many build guides for it on lastepochtools.

#

time to relive my d2 WW barbarian memories 😄

tawny cedar
#

it's basically the same as last season is all, so there is not much enthusiasm to post new builds

wicked turret
#

🤔

#

i was thinking crit multiplier

#

but not sure either that or atk speed

waxen nymph
#

Better armor Shred or more AS

wicked turret
# waxen nymph

if in my main weapon im aiming for attack speed would taking As node be any good

#

🤔

#

im using an odachi

wicked turret
#

how do you get this kind of belt

waxen nymph
#

Bee on potion is a Exiled mage affix

when scaling Warpath, do I want
"+x% melee void damage"
or
"+x% void damage" ?

waxen nymph

#

ah ye, I misread

royal geode
#

are there any good warpath paladin builds? im doing ignite warpath but am worried if it scales decently

#

hi all is any one can help me explain on FORGE GUARD build in what conditions can apply two-handed sword in one site and shield in other site??? is passives skill or only apply for FG build only?? thanks you all

hey is there anyone try time rot VK,I just wonder why we use this ring instead of siphon

waxen nymph
waxen nymph
#

This is 10% More Dmg and 4% Less dmg taken

#

Hmmm maybe bleed gloves warpath with morditas

umbral osprey
pearl geyser
#

Can MA benefit from the bleed pop gloves?

alpine canopy
warped helm
#

yo! this made it so that smite only gains flat damage, no longer any 4% inc damage at all correct?

uneven gorge
#

correct

warped helm
#

and could indirect abilities (ex. smite triggers) be echoed at all or only direct stuff?

uneven gorge
#

only direct casts afaik

waxen nymph
#

Only Direct casts can echo

warped helm
#

thanks, selfcast void smite it is then

waxen nymph
#

Crit ?

#

Or Dot ?

#

@warped helm

warped helm
#

crit!

#

no timerotting

#

(other than to debuff for DR 😄 )

alpine canopy
#

Spell DOT is an option too, which I suspect Vlad may be more interested in

waxen nymph
#

You could play Fissure > Spell DoT

wooden mountain
#

DOT is decent with fissure & the sky beams from the tree

#

not that the skybeams are good, but they look cool

waxen nymph
warped helm
#

yeah i figured even void fissure would be good too.... but i wanted something hitbased

waxen nymph
#

They are a subskill of Smite but hidden in the passive tree

warped helm
wooden mountain
warped helm
#

just 250% more omegalul

waxen nymph
alpine canopy
#

They also get the flat void per vit and from devotion, among other fun stuff

wooden mountain
#

huh forgot about devotion

waxen nymph
#

Also its just extra dmg for "free"

wooden mountain
#

yeah maybe I've underrated them

alpine canopy
#

The beams have pretty decent base stats, too

warped helm
#

yikes stacking vit AND devotion?!

waxen nymph
#

Void Fissure gets them
Lightning Fissure gets More Lightning DoT per Crit Multi
Fire Fissure gets the node for More Fire DoT to Spreading Flamed Enemies and FireStarter

waxen nymph
#

Its not even funny ^^

#

I am playing smite rn and it gives me 220 Flat

warped helm
#

yeah selfcast its definitely more juicy than if i triggered smites

#

cause then i wouldnt even get castspeed either

waxen nymph
#

Devotion is "only" 50% Cast Speed

#

Nothing stops you from getting MOAR

warped helm
#

my devotion could be the worst roll in history which is nice i guess

wooden mountain
#

you can still go negative mana with smite can't you? I know they said they fixed that but I saw a recent clip of someone doing it

#

do the devotion rolls matter if you're not lightning?

#

can't remember what it has other than lightning pen and the flat/cast speed

waxen nymph
#

Is there smth to do with this ?

warped helm
waxen nymph
warped helm
wooden mountain
warped helm
#

yea and implicits i guess

#

simple enough

waxen nymph
warped helm
#

i dont see myself doing both manastack and vitality stack well together though so lets say i get 500 mana thats 100 flat, still nothing to scoff at i guess

wooden mountain
#

though I think that one I saw was fire smite with a firestarter with +spell damage -spell cost rolled maybe

#

or maybe just foot of the mountain? can't remember

alpine canopy
#

Pretty sure you need mana to proc fissure though

wooden mountain
#

you do

#

but if you can reliably get a lot of negative mana somehow

#

then you don't want +mana at all

#

the cast speed would go insane if you were at -500/100

#

idk how to do -500 tho

#

the clip I saw was like -8k mana or something but idk how it's achieved

alpine canopy
#

Everything that gets you super negative gets patched out

waxen nymph
#

I dont want to fight lagon anymore, please

warped helm
#

offtopic but havent played a week or so, did that patch on the 10th fix the stash filtering lag/crash?

wooden mountain
#

at least you can use that harbinger woven echo

uneven gorge
#

Not really. It's playabale, but I can't bother with waiting 4 seconds every time I move an item

warped helm
#

i'm so confused they're not reverting the stash filtering changes they made until its fixed wth... oh well

waxen nymph
#

Oh the imprint proccs

wooden mountain
#

I am ever lured by the temptation of electrify smite/healing hands prolif

warped helm
#

oh no, ive got no big inc damage rolls for palarus for void smite 🤔 hmmm

waxen nymph
waxen nymph
unborn cypress
warped helm
#

also i might maybe rather a +2 amulet over devotion if im not going crazy on mana, since smite does have more than just 250% more damage (more vs ignite & blinded) i might need like 30 points to max out what i wanna do @waxen nymph

#

crit nodes are point heavy

wooden mountain
#

devotion will add more damage than the worst 2 skill points for self cast smite

#

100%

molten horizon
#

Has anyone messed with the idea of a bleed focused forge guard using carrion of creation, phantom grip, and serpents milk

#

or is bleed just too weak to build around

warped helm
#

that would be 20% more vs blinded i suppose and yeah you might be right, the big castspeed alone for selfcast is probably very worth

turbid dome
waxen nymph
molten horizon
#

yeah just getting monster bleed either using DW rainbow edges with more chance on hit for ailments, or tork's hunger for straight up bleed

warped helm
#

ok stash lag still bad as ever 🙄 here we go

molten horizon
#

with tork you can do shield as well and throw in flayers pride, but i dont know if that would apply its bonuses to forged weapons. Also not sure about the forged weapon generators, warpath seems to be the most consistent

warped helm
#

damn thats a nice fodder, but smite/vk has so much multi already omegalul i need some increases

waxen nymph
molten horizon
#

oo right that would be a big one too

#

think its worth trying or is bleed just too meh

waxen nymph
#

Imo, Bleed MA has some real potential

#

FW, I dont know

#

You will lack penetration and duration

molten horizon
#

MA?

wooden mountain
#

alchemist ladle has bleed+4 ailments that get converted to bleed

#

45% chance with max roll

#

probably morditas reach is best still

waxen nymph
molten horizon
#

ahh

waxen nymph
#

Because it can "use" your armor, helmet and boots at higher value

#

So smth like this x2.6

#

164% Duration and 177% Pen

#

Giga bleed

#

And you help Bob with Shield throw so it can attack real fast

molten horizon
#

that could get particularly nuts if the armor can be enhanced enough

warped helm
# waxen nymph

i got 2 3lp's atm ready to go, fishing some swords out of the stash atm

proper kelp
#

impulse bought the only one on market

unborn cypress
#

Is Spirit if Xylem the meta for Judgment Pally or is it still Transcribers Graver?

warped helm
#

im still not sure about devotion though mainly because of how much vitality spell damage i will get i gotta be honest, like i wouldnt even trade my idols for mana, i get spelldmg affixes on helm and chest, i need inc void damage, where am i gonna get a meaningful amount of mana from 🤔 @waxen nymph

proper kelp
#

and no, mana is not worth for void smite

warped helm
#

i'm planning one yes @proper kelp sure i can take a look for ideas and inspiration

molten horizon
#

before even being able to use the carrion/milk combo I could stack up to ~850 stacks on ST pretty quick once the weapons forged out, but that was with torks and basic gear

aspirational if you will

waxen nymph
#

Ah but you Multi Smite

#

Ginnie is going self cast

proper kelp
#

then just switch melee attack speed for cast speed on gloves its almost the same

#

use blood mage or rav voids instead

#

and different boots

waxen nymph
#

Are you crit capped with Smite ?

proper kelp
#

yeah

#

i have a bit over 60% spell crit as a baseline, then 150% more increased from anomaly and a few levels in smite base crit

#

but i run lunge instead of anomaly for faster mapping, switch to anomaly for bosses and beasts

warped helm
#

uhh i forgot about the 3set bonus, thats what youre going for right, not the timerot stuff?

waxen nymph
proper kelp
#

i have 15 crit chance as a base and another 4 from 2 points in smite base crit

#

if you dont have a well rolled shattered worlds you can just move points into base crit

different uberroth item

also if you're self cast, switch vise for blood mage for even more base crit

warped helm
#

i'm most definitely gonna dualwield for palarus so the set is probably out of the question , dw will be a lot of extra damage already

proper kelp
#

im not gonna lie twin

#

ur single target dps is probably like 1/10th of a multismite setup

#

if you want to self cast i strongly reccomend going mana smite instead, you get way more base spell dmg to compensate for lack of more dmg multis

warped helm
#

multistrike smite is the one i never tried, how many are you getting per second roughly, avg?

proper kelp
#

with max stacks of armament i get 4 smites per attack and 6 on echoes

proper kelp
#

so 40% chance to echo and be 10 total smites, and 60 to not echo and be 4

#

averaging to 6.4 smites per atk

molten horizon
proper kelp
#

im also way, way tankier than a dual wield setup because i have 100% block, less dmg taken on block, 55% block effectiveness, less void dmg taken on block, etc

#

you could get even more dps by dropping shield for a sword with atk speed and spell dmg

#

but i like being durable

#

if you want to self cast i suggest using palarus for mapping and switching to ladle+something else for bossing

warped helm
#

yeah no shit to that, but i'm prolly gonna mess with selfcast first but i'll keep multistrike in mind since i havent tried that version yet and im not trying to farm uber with that

#

that dualwield wont be tanky

proper kelp
#

tbh

#

paladin can also use aurelis multistrike for dps

warped helm
#

tbh palarus was mostly about clearing with selfcast if ur not fissure based

proper kelp
#

well lightning smite also gets the bolts

#

which give more aoe

warped helm
#

or spamming like a throw/trigger build

proper kelp
#

i find my clear to be more than satisfactoy

#

sheer volume of smites + devouring orb wipes out packs of squishies

molten horizon
#

lightning smite warpath with culnivars + palarus last season was pretty fun but I stalled around 750c iirc

warped helm
#

wait but i thought indirect casts dont echo, or is the echo part for multi the extra swords instead that makes it good? @proper kelp

proper kelp
#

the smites themselves do not echo

warped helm
#

i see

molten horizon
#

yeah the MS will echo but not the procced smites

#

god if you could echo procced smites...

proper kelp
#

so its 4+6 if you echo

molten horizon
#

just think of the power

proper kelp
#

10 smites per attack feels so crazy man

warped helm
#

yeah cool interaction, i still wanna do my thing over here 😄 thanks for the ideas though

proper kelp
#

no worries

warped helm
#

if it fails miserably i might reconsider

proper kelp
#

self cast is totally viable

#

but mana stacker might be stronger for that setup

turbid dome
#

Love me some self cast smite on vk

warped helm
#

not fails, more like doesnt satisfy me

proper kelp
#

you definitely want devotion for selfcast

waxen nymph
proper kelp
#

what

waxen nymph
#

They do

proper kelp
#

ive never played smite pally

#

thats disgusting

#

wait like all 6 of them

turbid dome
proper kelp
#

or just one

waxen nymph
#

Hard to say

proper kelp
#

huh

waxen nymph
#

But if you play electrify there is a 100-200 stack difference

proper kelp
#

i read it as "this number of individual enemies"

#

its probably just 1

#

but thats still really strong for ailments

waxen nymph
#

Time stamped

proper kelp
#

if i was gonna run electrify i would go jav for sure

waxen nymph
#

I am showing the "bug" of the extra bolts

proper kelp
#

yeah

warped helm
#

i guess desired sword prefixes would be flat to spells + crit or flat to spells + void damage%, really should have sufficient multi from vk/gear

unborn cypress
#

Is Judgment Paladin supposed to spec a lot into attunement? I think im using the wrong version and all the builds i look up on YouTube are variations of the maxroll build.

turbid dome
#

and each attunement gives 4% healing effectiveness for judgement from attribute scaling

#

unless I'm dumb that the attunement scaling one doesn't affect it for some reason

#

and flat spell damage is very very good

unborn cypress
turbid dome
#

are the maxroll planners not using the judgement aura node?

#

but off the top of my head no idea for a planner for that

unborn cypress
#

No it does not. The only aura build i found was one LE Tools but it used lots of rares rather than exalts so I thought it wasn't the best version of it.

#

Is it worthwhile to completely re-gear into Reflect Paladin?

turbid dome
turbid dome

I only want to play it if its significantly better. 😆

switch cadence for firestarters torch for bosses

No Siege Barrage ?

proper kelp

is that what you usually take

#

i wasnt sure

waxen nymph
#

What is your recovery ?

#

HH ?

proper kelp
#

i was gonna try to fit in leech, plus healing hands and 10% missing health on vengeance

#

but probably gonna switch to the relic that gives bleed leech

waxen nymph
#

I love Valdyr Chalice

#

Not playing on a bleed build is really dangerous imo

proper kelp
#

i threw this together in like 10 mins after i bought an lp4 phalanx

#

lol

#

yeah chalice is probably worth

#

i want to see how far i can go with it

#

smite vk still has a lot of upgrades to go but its already struggling to stay alive at 800ish corruption

#

still need a null portent for 20% dr, helmet for armor applies to dots

#

dot dmg is deadly man

#

Im guessing multismite vk tops out at 1500 corruption even with BIS gear, after that you would need to be proccing smite at range so you dont get hit

#

and thats just normal echoes, the rift beasts become unbeatable way sooner

#

so yeah im gonna check out bleed vengeance

#

dude i got this for 3.5 mil it seems kinda crazy cheap to me

silk wasp
#

Nobody plays Phalanx so I'm not surprised

proper kelp
#

yeah

#

normally phalanx sucks vs bosses which is why im trying bleed vengeance

#

to see if it can get reasonable single target dps

#

for mapping it feels amazing

#

but yeah perfect more dmg roll and 4 lp

#

this is why i love playing MG and building off meta

#

this would take forever to farm COF

warped helm
#

alright alright

#

the multi ex ones didnt survive

proper kelp
#

perfect smite roll

#

nice

proper kelp
#

would you say

#

idk how good the AOE is and where it targets on phalanx

turbid dome
#

honestly good question on the aiming

#

if its a big enough pack thats not gonna matter, tho I'd guess its just gonna pick an enemy and shoot there

proper kelp
#

yeah i guess siege barrage is probably worth i just like the idea of offscreening stuff

#

it doesnt matter at all for single target since you will barely riposte bosses

silk wasp
#

I think it targets whatever triggered the riposte. I vaguely remember getting barrages off in the distance when I played with it before

turbid dome
#

Huh

#

That’s nice

warped night
#

I tried bleed phalanx last season and the damage was awful when jav wasn't proccing

and then with all the stacks from forged weapons and stuff the bleed ended up only ticking for ~500k, so I think @waxen nymph was right in thinking that a MA focused build would likely be a better call

gilded gale
#

Does spell leech apply to Dots? Like Smite Fissure?

molten horizon
#

As long as it's tagged as a spell

gilded gale
#

Spell Damage, Damage over time and the additional spell damage you get from Attunement are all in the same "bucket" correct? None of them are multiplicative?

molten horizon
#

Added is different from increased, I think the formula is on a wiki somewhere

alpine canopy
turbid dome
# gilded gale Spell Damage, Damage over time and the additional spell damage you get from Attu...

this is the formula (see attached picture)

anything that says "x% increased <tag here> damage" (like 50% increased physical damage) goes into the increased damage bucket (look at your skills tags to see what affects it)

added/additional spell damage (like from wands or some passive nodes) is flat damage and is added to your spells base damage before any increased or more multipliers are added

Do note that "added spell damage" will convert to your skills damage type, if your thing says like " added lightning spell damage" then it will add that much flat lightning damage and not convert to your skills damage type

@waxen nymph

silk wasp
# waxen nymph I am curious to hear what you don't like in there

Shred on weapon makes no sense, 4/5 Hammer and Anvil hits the shred softcap. Overinflated value placed on Armor. No Pale Ox or Shield heavily damages survivability in high corruption. Low Healing Effectiveness and lack of Ward nodes means HH isn't contributing meaningfully to sustain/durability. 3/5 Walls is leaving raw DR on the table when the build is already made of paper. Spending points in VK for leech with leech on gloves and Logi is a waste of points.

#

The main right thing they did was slam leech on gloves. That and Sunforged helm covers sustain for you and FWs entirely, obviating the need for HH at all unless you're stacking ward. The cute cloud voyager tech really only works if your minions aren't constantly leeching themselves back to full.

#

It's good for RoS builds since they take hits and don't leech

#

But they're not using RoS and shieldcrafter procs are somewhat inconsistent

#

Especially with no shield

silk wasp
#

Also unrelated to the build maxroll's website blows hot ass

Shrapnel existing kills any desire to play forged weapons for me

How do mismatched elements work with Increased Element Damage%? Like if you had that affix and attacked with Void Cleave which has the Void tag, would Increased Void Damage only affect the portion of the attack that actually does Void damage? Would Increased Necrotic affect the damage at all if the skill doesn't have the Necrotic tag?

waxen nymph
#

Each %Inc Dmg would only affect the corresponding type

silk wasp
#

So the tags don't matter for that

turbid dome
# silk wasp How do mismatched elements work with Increased Element Damage%? Like if you had ...

So let’s say we have a melee attack that does physical and fire damage

%increased melee damage affects both the fire and physical portions

%increased fire damage only affects the fire damage

%increased physical damage only affects the physical portion

So you could end up with 50 phys * (100% increased melee + 100% increased phys)

And 20 fire * (100% increased melee + 50% increased fire damage)

Per hit

#

For void cleave since it’s void tagged, all of your generic melee damage becomes void damage (if a skill has two tags like say fire and void, then your generic damage is split 50/50 between the two tags)

#

However stuff like added melee physical damage on your weapons affixes will not convert into void

silk wasp
#

That's how I kinda figured it worked but I never tested it. Thanks

#

I always knew SW and FS were getting screwed by being dual typed.

If you take Spiked Bombardment with Battle Standard do you still get the 2 additional javelins?

quick vessel
#

What is the best 0 mana cost skill (dunno if there is a better term) to summon Forged weapons (the skill itself only needs to be 0 mana, but effects can then use mana after using the skill)

#

Currently trying out Vengeance, but Rive looks better and MultiStrike has its own benefits (as well as combos with Forged Strike so thats 1 less button I need to remember to use in battle)

#

On a Forge Guard build in case its not obvious

silk wasp
#

Rive does the most damage but sucks at summoning FWs. Vengeance has strong defensive properties but has poor damage, MS summons weapons the fastest but is mid at everything else.

#

MS has the benefit of gaining the minion tag with one of the nodes so it has more skill points

quick vessel
#

With MS is the node to automatically use Forge Strike worthwhile?

silk wasp
#

Not really

#

The juice with MS is the bottom left that exchanges stacks for weapons

quick vessel
#

Is it worth going for MS and also the spin to win skill (I cannot recall the name)

silk wasp
#

Warpath you really need to commit to

alpine canopy
#

MS is the best at summoning weapons, but it means you have to use forge strike every few attacks

#

So for a pue FW build I'd just use vengeance, summons well enough, easier to use, and gives big tankiness

quick vessel
#

I was thinking of (like I read up on) Vengeance in the end game and maybe either MS or Rive to get there as Vengeance feels glacially slow to kill anything

silk wasp
#

Rive is plenty good for leveling

alpine canopy
#

Yeah, vengeance takes investment to get all its FW summoning stuff going, and early game player damage will be contributing more so MS is strong

quick vessel
#

Is the Unique Legendary 1 handed mace to boost Vengeance skill level worth using in that case?
As I didn't see the need for lots of extra points in Vengeance to help out a minion build (however first time really going for the Forge Guard)

silk wasp
#

No

quick vessel
#

Thanks for the help on the build

alpine canopy
#

The investment mentioned earlier for vengeance is primarily the attunement needed to hit 100% iron blade chance

#

You'll want to get a good amount of attunement regardless, since it's the scaling attribute for FWs

warped helm
#

big shame the envy forge potential ran out on such a shit base (split it at 1 or 2 potential left)

#

@waxen nymph you asked about void fissure, would you be able to play that with timerot at all? you cant right? smite no longer hits?

#

oh wait it still does hit just spawns a fissure

#

uhh

silk wasp
waxen nymph
#

You get a fissure on top

warped helm
#

so would you still include time rot, or too difficult to scale both well?

#

stacking mana/vitality/void dot seems like a lot already

waxen nymph
#

I would not

#

TR need TR chance, slow chance, and attack /Cast speed to shine

warped helm
#

ya that was my thought, my old timerot guy stacked all of that quite extensively

waxen nymph
#

That a'lot of stuff to add to Spell DoT void, vitality maybe mana

warped helm
#

maybe 1 doom ring ontop for good measure omegalul

waxen nymph
#

Still haven't played a TR build

quick vessel
#

I thought I saw on the node that Fissure changes with the Void conversion node

waxen nymph
#

It does yeah

waxen nymph
quick vessel
#

Also just checking is there a way to make Forged Weapons into Void minions or is Forge Master the only realistic option for a Sentinel Minions build?

alpine canopy
#

FG is the only realistic option anyway since you can't spec forge strike otherwise

warped helm
#

think i will swap to void fissure, not too happy with palarus performance and dualwield (not) tankyness

waxen nymph
#

I love Void Fissure

#

That was my starter in 1.1 or 1.2, can't remember

#

I don't think I would build it the same way though

warped helm
#

i have ideas but a problem i see right now, how do you spam away your mana these days

#

i dont want it to be uncomfortable playing with devotion

quick vessel
alpine canopy
#

The FWs will probably be fine super early campaign without speccing FS, but later on you must spec it to scale them decently

warped helm
#

@waxen nymph i got a 2lp aberroth's ready, t7 spell or t7 mana/ward what do you reckon?

#

i guess dot gets a fair bit more inc %damage than hitbased

Question about Mad alchemist ladle. The more Spell damage per negative ailment on the target... does that affect just spell damage or does it also affect dot damage in this case? I.e. will it only give me 48% of the 842, or will it also affect my DOT damage (48% of 2429)?

#

I'm using fissure smite, so I'm curious if it's worht switching to, given my huge investment into DoT damage

alpine canopy
#

LE Tools doesn't have a spell DOT column, so the actual % inc you have on fissure might not be either of those numbers

#

(e.g., if you have the stat "increased spell damage", that will show up in the spell column, but not the DOT column - you'd need to add all the spell-only stats from the spell column to the DOT column's number to see the increase that fissure has in that case)

umbral osprey
#

guys is there any build using this one?

gilded gale

if you are already able to quickly build 12 time rot stacks, is there any point to more chance to time rot? or is 12 the max and that's it

alpine canopy

okay, so more chance to proc still means more damage even if you cant stack the dot further?

guys what would be the single best place to farm a certain champion modifier (carnage/amulet spell damage)? i already run most of my super arenas, twinned champions, all of that

warped helm
#

@waxen nymph game: oh youre going fissure? go lightning

#

was wondering why my fissure feels weak, its not getting converted to void... most of my dot damage is the beam right now

warped helm
#

read the fissure tooltip, it can be converted

#

but its not getting converted for me for some reason

wooden mountain
#

F8

warped helm
#

yeah reported it

#

tried unspeccing the conversion etc , its only visually being converted to void, the tooltip stays on fire and attunement scaling

#

man thats a bummer

#

and one fissure only dealing like 4-5k damage with my stats would be impossible to only be a tooltip bug

waxen nymph
#

What!!!!

#

How did they break it

#

It was working fine before 😭😭

wooden mountain
#

Ravaging Aura in void cleave doesn't have any attribute scaling???

warped helm
#

and i always find a way to find the not(anymore) working bugged interactions 😔

#

standalone dev orb is not too viable these days is it?

wooden mountain
waxen nymph
warped helm
#

ok theres the tiniest difference when respeccing the void conversion node on a dummy so i think it ONLY converts the 20 base smite fire damage maybe, really weird...

wooden mountain
#

the attribute shift comes from renouncement rather than the conversion on tree

#

but you have that because you said you were getting the beams

#

idk

warped helm
#

yeah anyway something clearly broke, time to find a respec 😐

wooden mountain
#

can VK echo smite if it isn't void smite?

waxen nymph
#

No, echoes are for melee and Void spells only

warped helm
#

funny enough my void beam cleared most low corruption stuff but that alone only goes so far

wooden mountain
#

how long do those void beams last?

warped helm
#

every time there was no beam the bamage was down in the dumps

#

not sure actually, 4 or 5 seconds

wooden mountain
#

I just looked erasing strike skill tree says 3 and I can't see it listed anywhere else

warped helm
#

even epochtools doesnt know, interesting lol

#

300% effectiveness/second so yeah maybe its 3 seconds

wooden mountain
#

based tunklabs

waxen nymph
#

I need to check tunklabs more for durations

#

He has them listed

#

Where Letools does not

warped helm
#

yeah wonder why

wooden mountain
#

nice that you get 4% increased per str too

#

I find you get a fair bit of incidental str

waxen nymph
#

It depends where they come from

#

Attribute scaling for subskill is inherited from the parent skill

#

If its ES, yes
If its Smite, no

wooden mountain
#

so for smite you only get +1 flat per vit too rather than +2?

#

Ripperinos

waxen nymph
#

But you also get Flat from Devotion for exemple

wooden mountain
#

you can yeah

#

but +2 flat per vit is such a sweet line of text

waxen nymph
#

It is indeed

wooden mountain
#

especially with VK getting more health per vit too

warped night
#

it's beyond disappointing that they manage to keep reintroducing the same bugs they've already "fixed"

warped helm
#

definitely disappointing

might be time to use my 3lp apathy maw, hit the good result atleast

nah DO is probably the best time rot applier rn

warped helm

oh really? anyway i meant hit based, but interesting, didnt think DO had many multipliers for ailments i gotta count

hit should still be really good all consuming node is crazy it’s just weird to use lol

damn, i felt like going back to revisit pally hammer smite bleed with the new gloves but sure aint what it used to be

#

1600 stacks with just enough damage for 250 corruption right now, still need to lp my neck and gloves though

#

and probably need to change to t7 bleed pen mods instead of more chance

warped night
#

I like multistrike bleed pally these days

warped helm
#

i love that multistrike got a good singletarget toolkit now, already liked clearing with it before

alpine canopy
#

Multistrike is so neat now yeah

warped night
#

yeah, it's really great at applying holy eruptions

warped helm
#

small problem with my setup is 8 missing block and phys shred, same blessing/timeline

#

not sure i could sustain forgeguard physshred

warped night
#

don't need block chance if you don't use a shield 😏

warped helm
#

my stick would go well with multistrike too if i feel like trying i guess 😏

warped night
#

symbol of demise is fun too

warped helm
warped night
#

I am

#

tbh I'm probably better off dropping the demise gimmick at this point

#

just do dw with palarus and spec smite

hey guys, i'm at 95 on my paladin, multistrike/smite build, which afix should i work on putting t8?

are you asking if the build has difficulties mapping, or if I'm hard grinding out echoes?

warped night
hidden rapids
warped night
#

maybe not. you're doing crit, not electrify?

hidden rapids
#

yeah, even running a t6 crit mult on my palarus (waiting to find a t7)

warped night
#

hmm kinda hard to say. idk if there's any super impactful t8s for that build

forest kelp
warped night
#

nothing crazy. Like 1k - 1500

warped night
hidden rapids
warped night
#

you'll get one eventually, but since you're doing crit smit you won't want to get rid of devotion

#

and since you're using devotion you want to mana stack a bit

hidden rapids
#

any tip on body/gloves?

warped night
#

for body either null portent, or if you take the nodes in multistrike that can summon forged weapons then you can use mantle of the pale ox

#

and for gloves either grasp of the blood mage if you're not capping crit on smite, or something with as much attack speed as you can get like falcon fists or immortal vise

hidden rapids
#

ok, tysm

warped night
#

np

hidden rapids
#

if someone knows a build that i can see more and follow, it's my first char on this game so i'm kinda lost

#

some places tell me to dual wield swords, others i found was palarus + bastion

warped night
#

the former is the damage option, the latter is a tankier option. both work

#

in this game there's not a ton of "objectively right" choices, and most things work with varying combos, so you're encouraged to experiment with a setup that fits your playstyle

#

aurelis + palarus is going to be the weapon combo that gives you the most damage, but you'll be squishier

#

anyways, I'm off to bed

I am at around 10-12 millions dps

pale bramble
#

Why army of skin?

wooden mountain
#

good LP level, movespeed and attack speed on a slot that can't usually get it

#

army of skin is pretty amazing for any melee build that doesn't have a clearly better choice

#

like exile for bleed builds or foot of the mountain for some builds

#

any fire fissure/judgement aura builds out there? I can't see a clear way to scale the flat damage for both kinds of spell-DOT other than mana stacking/devotion

#

well, mana stacking doesn't scale the flat for judgement does it? it's just a more multi, still need to get flat from somewhere

#

healing effectiveness doesn't do anything for smite's damage

#

also devotion wants missing mana while judgement needs you to have a lot of mana to spend

pale bramble
#

ty

waxen nymph
warped helm
#

jeez, i can actually hit over 2000 bleed stacks but wheres the damage

#

1600% inc damage ish with 230% bleed duration too

wooden mountain
warped helm
#

hammers n smite

#

wanted to revive it with the new carrion glove but still meh

wooden mountain
#

how have you specialised hammers?

#

This is what I was doing with time rot hammers in 1.2, it's about a 6x multiplier to ailments

warped helm
#

i know i played this version with timerot before but that fits mostly for timerot

#

i think it would be much much worse for bleed when youre not capped to 12 stacks

wooden mountain
#

yeah the carrion explosion is not enough to carry the AOE

warped helm
#

yeah that

#

really unfortunate otherwise id consider

#

most lackluster thing about the glove

wooden mountain
#

with that hammer build you really get to see just how good rot ripples is

warped helm
#

i'll try to get t7 bleed pen instead on both chest and helm still but i dont think this would go too far

#

i'm gonna do some math for the chain hammer too maybe it could be better if it was more than doubling the output

#

since i do still apply a ton of stacks per hit

#

think it is more than double damage with 40% speed from ricochet extra projectiles too

#

ok need another lp valdyr to test this out tom i'll be back

wooden mountain
#

the layout of tombs really killed the orbiting hammers imo

#

them disappearing when they hit walls makes any tight corridor type layouts suck so damn much for the build

warped helm
#

that too but theyre not that relevant to clear unless u need some enchantments i guess

#

ok yeah chain with bleed is pretty bad even with the speed i barely get to 5-600 stacks now

#

down from 2k

#

probably from missing smite triggers as well

wooden mountain
#

have you considered javelin siege barrage instead?

#

fractal tree can get a lot of hits

warped helm
#

probably just as bad as chain hammer for clear

#

if the glove prolif was just better

#

but yeah i did consider

warped helm
#

the splits hit singletarget?

wooden mountain
#

siege barrage still splits doesn't it?

#

like it hits from above then splits horizontally, no?

warped helm
#

ah i see what you mean combine both

wooden mountain
#

yeah siege barrage gets you multi hits on single target and splits make multi-target situations tolerable

warped helm
#

anyway then im no longer a shield build or paladin changing to the spear, i might try the multistrike stuff

wooden mountain
#

javelin DOT is only 3.82x multiplier tho

#

and -20% attack speed in there too

#

or 20% less attack speed

warped helm
#

yeah and the stand still pen is not very fun either for long periods of time

wooden mountain
#

can't recall

#

yeah

warped helm
#

also penetration nodes like that dont really work together with multipliers right so theyre a fair bit weaker per node

warped helm
#

with bladestorm, arent these really good for single target too now or do these still not trigger without extra targets

warped helm
#

@warped night thx for the suggestion, havent tried the melee trigger spam yet, multi feels pretty nice

#

probably doubled my output over hammer smite lmao

turbid dome
rocky jetty
wooden mountain
warped helm
turbid dome
#

Like the highest sentinel body armor base has more raw armor than all your armor combined here

#

Looking at the max ehp vs one hit under defenses, you want like 10k (minimum) for each damage type

#

Also cap your resistance and cap reduced bonus damage taken from critical hits (the leonine helmet base is what most sentinels use for this)

wooden mountain
turbid dome
#

I’d wager their planning to switch to warriors fury once they have enough mana for it

#

Which normally means you store the mana gear and use gear that’s better now till you have enough

#

Cause you honestly won’t have enough for a bit

#

Especially with void well being a 4 second cooldown

rocky jetty
#

so.. focus on swapping out the gear i have for sets of similar modifiers with just better armor first? being ok with losing a bit of damage along the way to do it?

warped night
turbid dome
#

Ideally swap to not lose damage, but like

#

You can’t do damage if your dead

wooden mountain
turbid dome
#

And like 3k max hit isn’t it

#

Another solid way to bulk up a vk is grab as many 1x2 vitality idols and cram them into your idol board

#

Oh also

#

Put 5 more points into eternal form

#

%increased health is like the best stat, only behind vitality

warped night
#

armor is pretty low for a sent

turbid dome
#

Yea

#

That’s just a switch to endgame bases fix tho

warped night
#

and blessings

rocky jetty
#

thanks. i was only focusing on the affixes. forgot to look at the item bases themselves >.< been a -very- long time since i played

turbid dome
#

All good dude

#

Ideally it’s leonine helmet, champion regalia/apoyclapse plate (lil more damage but on vk I still go champs), and eternal gauntlets

#

Off the top of my head this should give like 1300 flat armor? (from implicits alone)

rocky jetty
#

yea, those bumped me up a ton. I don't think i lost a lot either. guess we'll see

turbid dome
#

What does LE tools say for your defense box now

rocky jetty
turbid dome
#

Oh I meant importing it again to LE tools

#

But also get that vitality up, vk loves vitality

rocky jetty
#

yea, i'll wait for it to update 🙂

turbid dome
#

Cause each point of vitality is

  • 8 max health
  • 1% poison res
  • 1% necrotic res
  • 0.33% more melee void damage
  • all your spells scale off of vitality, getting flat damage
rocky jetty
#

i... did not realize that it also scaled damage

turbid dome
#

Read your mastery passive Gregory

#

There’s a reason 15k max life vk can still do decent damage with rive

rocky jetty
#

so vit > str?

turbid dome
#

You still want some strength cause strength gives %increased armor

#

And damage on your melee skills

#

But vitality only goes on idols, boots, body armor and helmets

#

Strength can go on those slots and other gear

#

Normally I aim for two exalted strength affixes on my rings

#

If your not using unique rings currently, coral rings with an exalted strength affix are very nice (they have implicit vitality)

#

Then craft on whatever resistances you need to cap res

warped night
#

you can go for strength on rings + gloves, and vit on boots, helm, and chest

turbid dome
#

Ye

#

I like leaving gloves till last cause what i prioritize is based on idols (mostly)

#

Like do I have enough shred from idols with this?

warped night
#

at this point I just use immortal vise on all melee builds so it's moot for me lol

turbid dome
#

But I’m tailoring the advice for a guy at 100 corruption with 3k max hit

warped night
#

yeah ik

rocky jetty
#

and i appreciate it. 🙂

warped night
#

there's the shred in abyssal echoes, but with it only going off every 5s it's probably not enough

turbid dome
#

Oh wait yeah numbers

40 stacks of armor shred on an enemy is roughly 40% more damage to that enemy for non-physical damage (I normally aim for 50 stacks)

#

To test how many stacks you can sustain go to champions gate and hit the training dummies there

warped night
#

also worth noting that the aim is for 50 because armor shred has strong diminishing returns

turbid dome
#

Oh yeah also to make that math make more sense, enemies always have 0 armor and 0 resistances, they just get damage reduction based on area level

#

So shredding armor till their at like -4000 armor = 40% more damage, consistently

#

Tunklab (it’s pinned in this chat) has graphs you can mess around with to visual armor shred (and a lot of other things)

#

What does shield bash scale with primarily? Is it beneficial to wield a 2h weapon over "monument of protection" or something else?

#

It feels like, after equipping a 2h, the dmg doesn't jump like I thought it would. But only jumped because of the phys/crit stats on the 2h rather than the base dmg.

#

I know block chance helps, block effectiveness helps if taking "indomitable force". Outside of that and flat/% phys, is there anything I should be looking for?

warped night
#

strength, block effectiveness, and flat phys are the biggest boons

#

plus event horizon

I managed to slam t7 as + t6 bleed chance onto a 2lp undisputed. was a huge boost

warped helm
#

i lose 40% damage 70% bleed chance but gain 28% attack speed

#

might still be worth gotta dummy test

warped night
#

yeah bleed comparisons really need the dummy test. sheet dps is super misleasing for bleed

warped helm
#

do you maintain the 255% of undisputed? didnt even consider it

inland jolt
#

follow up - what primordial would be beneficial to shield bash? i was thinking legends entwined with two crafted bear pieces?

warped night
warped helm
#

getting some 2lp undisputed's tho.. without that id just stick to a rare

warped night
warped night
#

going for a defensive primordial isn't as flashy, but it does free you up to not worry about void, necro, and poison res, which can be an indirect damage boost if you end up making more offensive choices with the freedom

inland jolt
warped night
#

it can be, but only if you're really hurting for skill points imo. otherwise I would say horns of uhkeiros are bis

I ask because I'm not sure if "increased" and "more" are a thing in this game, and if they're additive or multiplicative

warped night
#

both are a thing. increased is additive with additional instances of increased. more is multiplicative with additional instances of more

#

game guide has a section on it

#

generally, for crit, added & more > crit multi & pen > increased

So tired of farming for a Void Splitter

I think I'll just do the other Harbs then come back

I can clear 300 corruption pretty consistently so that feels like I'm ready to do the rest of that questline

You'd think at 309c it'd drop one with at least LP1 by now, but nope, Arengee refuses

I see pally, druid, and shaman reflect everywhere, but why not armor stacking forge guard with that node that scale reflect off armor?

#

unless flat reflect is the only way to go?

silk wasp
#

Because Paladin can get that node too and there's nothing past the lock reflect wants

#

is pally just more tanky, but is there a point where druid can do better due to more reflect dmg?

idk anything about primalist but reflect paladin is basically a wall

Don't know if anybody is running it, but how well is Void Knight Rive build running at higher corruption?
I just got to Empowered Mono's @ 100c and I'm walking through the content thus far.

Yeah I know. It's so damn difficult. I have no movement ability and I cannot even use evade. Plus while channeling my movement speed is slower

But once I killed him once, I got Immortal Vyse glove which helped a lot

# lavish jacinth Hi Everyone, https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/TheIraqiMaestro/character/...

your anomaly is spec'd wrong, you dont need borrowed time and emission as ES. you need max mark of rot and swiftrest for uptime. carcinzation > flames of midnight. your belt needs ailment cleanse on potion use or you will fail the final phase every time. i dont want to do the math but im almost 100% sure you are not crit capped -- you should drop implements for another point in prophet on ES. symbols of hope, you need to drop holy revelation and put those points into iron symbols.

#

if you are getting one shot, you should try using the blood mage gloves (minimum 2LP though, hopefully slam mana + attack speed). the biggest problem in that fight is the slam + ground of despair one shotting as it comes out quickly and he doesnt use it in a set pattern. attack speed in general will smooth a lot of things out so you are not animation locked as long. you can afford to drop shred on your gloves because you have it on your idols.

#

you should drop one of your 4 slot idols (you have enough shred if you are hitting ~30 stacks) for 4x 1 slot mana idols

#

overall, ES is not a great build for killing uberoth in an SSF environment (ie, without immortal vise and shattered worlds) so dont feel bad for struggling. you need to play enough to get a feel for when slam + ground of despair is coming out. its not a set pattern like his other moves (ie, the move is next in his queue so he will 100% use it like the black holes or spinning blade) but he does use it consistently enough in rotation that you should be able to anticipate it.

lavish jacinth
#

@night rock thanks for this, I will make the amendments, appreciate it

gilded gale
#

Do we know of any lightning smite builds that can do Uberoth?

#

Or any Smite builds in general, for that matter?

#

when i beat him, i used 2LP blood mage gloves, the primordial nest relic, and a regular helmet with no t8 affix

#

fairly certain nest > anchor because sentinel gets like 20% endurance as collateral for points on the tree (and nest itself has endurance on the implicit) so much of anchor's benefit is wasted. nest will give a good bonus to mana to make up for no t8 affix (depending on strength of your idols) as well as amping all the %damage or crit/crit multi chance you have

night rock
#

seed is good but with the nerf to void wells, you're gonna have mana problems in that last phase with seed constantly eating at it

#

im not sure if decaying skull is good or bad with the conversion but it is a good damage boost if you have a good 2LP slam

warped night
#

could always swap to rive

#

has anyone tried reliquary nest + a bunch of mana idols for ES VK?

night rock
#

i did that for my first uberoth kill

#

used nest over a t8 affix

#

mostly because getting the perfect helmet t13+ to t8 slam (flat mana) is really, really hard

#

i think nest is just the best option pre SW because you get nothing but stats from your idols so stats x 1.5 is even better

warped night
#

plus the idol stats are pretty consequential for ES

night rock
#

it giving endurance% on the implicit is also huge, because it means you just need to find like 5% or so to get to cap

warped night
#

on rive I'm using immortal stone right now

#

I thought about using butcher's crown, since I'm using sword catcher, but I have a crazy decayed skull slam that I don't think I'll ever be able to beat

Devotion Smite should be plenty capable of Uber. Probably a few ways to build it even

I've seen multismite do it too

but that was a chinese player with cracked gear I think

#

I think I have enough dps, I get to 80% hp and 60% shield before the first slam

#

And my gear is still pretty meh

wooden mountain
#

the multismite I saw was on 1.2, you may have considerably more dps on 1.3 idk what changed

and tbf it wasn't a slow kill, sub 3 mins

it just looked a bit rippy

Can you reroll the stats on a legendary or do you have to do it while it still has lp

you can re-roll but it re-rolls all the affixes so it's way harder to get a good result

waxen nymph

Strife?

#

It's supposed to reroll the value only

I was thinking that once I get the right stats on a slam I could just sac 2lps to the reroll gods to get everything higher
