🔱┃sentinel

[zenith hinge]

whats embarassing is even in non english I can see the gear is not as good as my phys build and he smoked her

I'm going to brush off my game this week and give that a jam - thank you Jella

[austere frost]

What build you talking about if we talking about strongest throwing build of sentinel javelin lighting is superior to physical

[austere frost]

No problem i love that this person makes most stuff op while being low t7 dependant

Great content creator

[alpine sage]

I mean going for a t8 spear or t8 helmet for lightning

Since t8 helmet means you will use the judicator

[zenith hinge]

Yeah I follow a few older chinese rogue accounts too~ I have most of that gear already so that's handy as will just farm a judi and a slam it up 😄

[alpine sage]

Which does not have 15% elemental pen

[austere frost]

Why would you go for a t8 spear if you can get an unique that has realistically better stats just slam what you want

Who cares about 15 pen javelin literally gives you 30 pen every 0.5 sec you stand

With 150 at 2.5 sec

[zenith hinge]

Hey mminnhh check that youtube video someone asked the difference between the unique spear and the T8 options

spear with Lp is easy to get would be better option imo

[austere frost]

Extra skills is big for javelin plenty more damage stuff to get from 2 skills extra

2 and even 3 lp is doable

[waxen nymph]

Love Mistia ❤️

[zenith hinge]

First time I've seen his stuff. Has some really unique and interesting builds in there

[austere frost]

All his builds are so cool and good

He or her my number 1 person to trust on builds in LE

[zenith hinge]

Interesting how good his timerot use still is considering most people raged that BBC / timerot was nerfed I hadnt seen many people talking about it, legend

[austere frost]

Captain noobzor is also a great one sadly frozen does only mage builds

[zenith hinge]

Yeah def follow him. Potato_LE is one of my fav roguey builders

[peak zodiac]

they only nerfed bbc, javelin and vipertail for time rot, rot grip is still unchanged and is a crazy node

[austere frost]

Erasing strike is very strong for time rot dot not a one shot like before but still kicks uber

[waxen nymph]

Mistia did a 1.30 kill iirc

[austere frost]

I gotta say void knight rework was awesome my only complain is the more damage for vitality stacking should be a general more void damage not just melee

[hybrid crown]

wish Ravaging Aura scaled with Vit 🙁

or could stack

[austere frost]

Smite vk missing a huge more damage because of it which doesnt makes sense

[waxen nymph]

Wish Abyssal Echoes would do dmg

[hybrid crown]

it can stay bad

[waxen nymph]

No please 😄

[hybrid crown]

honestly take it out back

new skill

[waxen nymph]

I like the Impair the Weak node

[austere frost]

Abysal has always been garbo?

[hybrid crown]

does it impair itself?

[waxen nymph]

It was decent a some point

[waxen nymph]

Yeah

[hybrid crown]

knew it

[waxen nymph]

You need 100 hits in 5 sec to beat screaming rift

[austere frost]

Idk they need to refigure some masteries my lich has 2 benefits and one of them is useless cause I am at 100%health most time🤣 cause of leech

[peak zodiac]

honestly having played smite a ton for forever I’d rather have actual void conversion for healing hands

[austere frost]

I agree I wish we did too

And vitality scaling as well

But its an oversight to not give general benefits for a mastery that with all due respect is the most rewarded for stacking vitality

A reason why skills cant compete is that it would be cool if all the nodes would be more damage instead of hit and dot

[peak zodiac]

i mean the reward is in the attribute scaling of the skills, i think that’s fine as every spell vk is stacking it anyways

for dot there’s an argument

[austere frost]

Like if I have 180 to 210 vitality gimme that more damage as well

Would make dot,throwing ,spells better

Like rotgrip is broken

But hammer dot void aint so gimme that more void damage from mastery

My lich gets 1%leech thats it like I get 0 increase dps when I am hitting stuff from mastery idk oversight

[peak zodiac]

i see the argument for throwing and dot but spells already have a pretty massive return for stacking vitality offensively (when it already provides a ton of defensive benefit also) and would mean spells just get an objectively better return on vit than melee in every scenario

[austere frost]

Would be cool if a bunch of skills would have void and lightning conversions

Yeah but vk already does melee way better and have access to better flat than spells

Not a reason to gatekeeper not like smite is an a tier build high

[peak zodiac]

i mean smite (particularly multistrike) would absolutely be busted if you added another 60% more multiplier, which is essentially what you’d be doing

[austere frost]

I mean smite ain't busted so

Why not

[peak zodiac]

it would be with another 60% more, it’s already quite strong

[austere frost]

Give it more damage build needs a buff somewhere or it will never get anywhere close to a rive build

I love vk caster but its one spell idk and its not s tier or a tier by any means maybe low a tier

[peak zodiac]

i’m pretty sure multistrike smite is more damage than rive already (i haven’t tested rive but based on what i’ve seen/heard) and selfcast is less damage but you also get the benefit of being one of the tankiest builds in the game

[austere frost]

Rive destroys smite

[peak zodiac]

what is rive dps

[austere frost]

Just get the frenzy axe and go ham

Self cast smite is weaker if you care about lategame you have to go multistrike smite

[peak zodiac]

no you don’t

i’ve been playing selfcast smite at ~2500c for months

[austere frost]

Anyone thinks we are going to get an idols reroll 2 times and picks best result likr blessing do see some useless nodes in weaver tree rank rewards for amber that could be scraped

[waxen nymph]

I really hope we get new idols options

Reroll value instead of reroll affix
Idol fusion ( you get 2 out 4 affix randomly)

[waxen nymph]

Because "hey pay 500 embers and get a new idols" is pretty trash

[austere frost]

I never used that cause is true absolutely trash idk why they went with that, people like deterministic crafting not well here is more rng good luck with idols

If you can get an extra affix with corruption at least would be nice to get our idols closer to what we want with rolls

[sinful widget]

Been experimenting with a lot of different builds and I’m struggling to find one that has more front loaded raw power for early endgame than judgement. Just casual thousands of dps in shit gear, insane healing and ward gen right out of the gate

Warpath eventually gets better but the transition to mana stacking feels a bit clunky. Probably better to league start as judgement to easily get all faction passive upgrades for better farming

And combine loot filters

What do you guys prefer to league start?

[austere frost]

I am going every single time for hammer throw if I have to level up to 100 and doing monos same way I doing same with shurikens with rogue so much faster levels and clear

[sinful widget]

Hammer throw is nice but what do you use for sustain that competes with healing hands builds?

[waxen nymph]

Leech and the fact that you are range if i had to guess

[austere frost]

Leech has always being superior and you can still use vengeance with no targets with passive,if enemies cant hit me cause they are dead I take a lot less damage.

[turbid dome]

I want different idol grid layouts

[sinful widget]

just curious what’s your source of leech as you start empowered monos usually?

[austere frost]

Vk has free leech on passive that you can get if needed

[sinful widget]

Ah so you convert hammer to void?

[austere frost]

I can start monos with hammer throw under level 20

[austere frost]

No way to do that you go phys paladin hammer throw you launch in nova

[sinful widget]

Isn’t the VK passive for melee or void only?

Would love to see a planner example, love hammer throw

[waxen nymph]

This one isn't

[warped plume]

SC?

[austere frost]

Yeah you can do same with shurikens first time you go to end of time you can already do monos with those

[warped plume]

I meant if you’re in softcore when you do that?

[austere frost]

I would never play hard-core in any of this games

[sinful widget]

Ah yes I see, nice

Might have to try HT one of these days

[hollow skiff]

my build.

[hollow skiff]

sometime get higher...about 5.3mil

[peak zodiac]

when i say dps i mean dps against dummy tooltip dps is pretty meaningless

[waxen nymph]

How long does it take you to kill the boss dummy? (should have been daimonos question)

[hollow skiff]

20sec.

[peak zodiac]

~50m dps, pretty good

what’s your gear?

[quaint sparrow]

Hardcore in LE is fine but it’s totally a preference

Path of Exile is the only game I stopped playing HC in as at the time I quit the games balance was a mess

[manic cradle]

just dropped this... any build ideas for this + Wildfire Embers? Does Wildfire Embers work at all?

both have mana and fire res ... is there a skill that could benefit from both?

[austere frost]

Wildfire works, its just trash how it does

[waxen nymph]

The spread is working as intended, but it's garbage

The Fire echoes thingy seems to not apply skill tree, probably bug

[alpine canopy]

Using it just for the ignite chance from fire res is okay, but not sure there's any mana stacking builds that you'd do that on. Maybe warpath, assuming the mana ramp node works on ailments, don't remember if it does, but still you'd be missing nice ignite prefix.

[uneven gorge]

I've gotten so many mixed messages about wildfire embers that I'm struggling to believe its even real 😔

[manic cradle]

ah, I've heard that there were problems with spreading flames, but didnt know it's still the case :/

[austere frost]

I mean its not bugged like the frenzy belt ,wait for next patch to see if it got improved cause right now its quite useless,some people were trying it with acid flask but evolution end is straight up better

[alpine canopy]

I really wanted to run a vengeance ignite build with it, but blade paladin not working kills it. Maybe next season, and hopefully the spread gets buffed alongside.

[iron basin]

that could be pretty interesting. idk how much it functionally changes for most people tho

something like that is the same number of spaces but has a good deal less flexibility

you could move the two outmost squares from the top to the two bottom corners as well. that gives you access to 4 1x4s. same if you do left->right with 4 4x1s

isn't the whole grid technically there, just covered up with blockers?

[waxen nymph]

Not being able to stack 4x1 and 1x4 was the reason of the 1st grid change

[iron basin]

that's kinda what I thought

[waxen nymph]

Correct

[iron basin]

I'm gonna bet my perfect rolled Scavenger with T7 increased potion find that they give us some Smelter's Wrath buffs this patch. just kinda sprinkle em in as a treat

[waxen nymph]

🙏🙏

[iron basin]

could you imagine if they make furnace actually playable

it needs like a 200% buff to its ADE/s. The main SW hit is 600% and has all the crit/hit modifiers to take advantage of, and it's still not a very good skill. It makes some chonky hits but just isn't good enough

[turbid dome]

the same number of slots but its one tall 2 wide collumn

v i t a l i t y

[mint rock]

I may just make a spinny boy next season

[iron basin]

i appreciate how much you embrace your degeneracy

[turbid dome]

mmm flat spell damage

I will make anomaly a main damage skill

[iron basin]

i believe

we gotta have someone repping every skill in here somehow

[turbid dome]

I neeeeed more cdr

[iron basin]

this got me thinking about other underutilized things in the sentinel kit

like fire Echoes

[turbid dome]

need me some void wizard robes for vk

[hybrid crown]

think it's direct damage only for that node

but I have no idea, haven't tested warpath in ages

[waxen nymph]

It doesnt precise any condition and from what I remember it does work

[waxen nymph]

I am the CDR

[iron basin]

is that a void shield throw I see

[waxen nymph]

Time Rot Shield Throw

[turbid dome]

ya see I need more than that for anomaly

[waxen nymph]

With the node that gives 6 sec cooldown for 100% More Dmg

[hybrid crown]

hmmm, thought I remembered differently, hmmm

[waxen nymph]

Its fine

[hybrid crown]

I won't test it again tho lmao, nothing exciting on the skill 🙁

[iron basin]

i wanna do that with crit. one of my favorite grim dawn characters was a retaliation build that added all its thorns damage to a 3s CD shield throw

that was fun

[turbid dome]

m o r e

[waxen nymph]

I had a idea for smth like this a while ago

iirc the Shield Throw shield bypass the cooldown

*So you warpath to get a lot of block and Fire Pen

[winged aspen]

are there good loot filters for CoF Void Knights that anyone could recommend for the endgame?

[waxen nymph]

And you retaliate shield 😄

[iron basin]

honestly the game could use more CD centric builds as a whole. GD has a good balance between piano and "Right Click to Win"

warpath

you've lost me

[iron basin]

honestly the best filter for CoF is one you make yourself. If you get Raxx's universal template, it's super super easy to setup your own

[waxen nymph]

Sorry but 20% Block Chance + 75% Fire Pen

[iron basin]

I don't care how good the boosts are, I'm not using warpath

[waxen nymph]

Hum ... I am not sure what Primo to use

[iron basin]

for sigeon warpath?

under the assumption that you'll be using lots of flat reflect idols, there's always Nest

[waxen nymph]

I am playing Void Time Rot

[iron basin]

oh the time rot one

i guess you could check out what people were doing for smite time rot. idk if that was all that popular this season or not

[waxen nymph]

There are a bunch of Entwined Legend set stacking Time Rot Build

But I aint doing that

[stone vector]

Hey, I started playing LE, im level 66 close to 70. I dont know how to progress further. Should i do dungeons or the Epoch Ilands. And How do I farm for my build? I followed the strater guide on maxroll and want to try to hit the top tier build for this season. If someone got time maybe could hop with me in a call ?

[waxen nymph]

Crafting exalted is too annoying

[iron basin]

don't blame you. I was pretty bummed when that was perry's contest for this season

[iron basin]

once you're done with the campaign, the monolith is your progression

work your way through each timeline and kill the bosses at the end of them. you don't have to be the same level as the area to complete them

[stone vector]

What about dungeons ? Prefer them first or just leave for now ?

[iron basin]

once you kill one of the three at the end of the monolith(Spirits of Fire, Last Ruin, Age of Winter) then you'll fight your first harbinger and unlock empowered monoliths. That is where the actual endgame grind begins

dungeons you can skip entirely for now. they're not necessary

[stone vector]

alright, thx 🙂

[iron basin]

the only one of relevance to most people is Temporal Sanctum, and that's when you're starting to make your legendary items

[stone vector]

Are there some prefered modifiers i should watch for inthe monolith, as a beginner?

[iron basin]

I genuinely forget that echoes add modifiers most of the time

increased enemy crit chance can definitely kill you out of nowhere

[turbid dome]

100% watch out for crit chance

until you get a anti crit hat

[waxen nymph]

Ill probably end up on a t8 smth helmet

[iron basin]

is there a time rot chance affix

[waxen nymph]

There is

[iron basin]

yeah that seems pretty strong then

[waxen nymph]

Leonine + t8
Should be good

[winged aspen]

if you use void cleave while having resonating cleave does your abyssal echoes go on cooldown because mine isn't

[waxen nymph]

No it doesnt

But the node doesnt say it puts it on cooldown too

[waxen nymph]

1.11 Abby kill for my Shield Throw TR I just put up together

Not too bad

[iron basin]

I saw that

[austere frost]

The Entwined tech maybe is stronger but idk how much of a pain its is to get going

[iron basin]

every entwined build I've tried putting together has been a pain because of the crafting

you can get like, 60-70% of the way there easily

but getting the rest is such a slog

[austere frost]

Meanwhile you can use erasing strike with 2 hand beacon 3 lp rain a lot and you literally get t7 slow t7 void damage ,then t5-7 damage over time or penetration void

You get 60%more damage from beacon so thats good and extra skills is essential for us

2 idols with time rot and void damage over time ,then idk you can get likr 2 idols with 40 %damage over time and 60 slow chance for more rotgrip acaling

Very uber viable

[iron basin]

aight, now we do Furnace

how we makin this uber viable

[austere frost]

I season 7 maybe forgeguard reworks coming 🥸

[manic cradle]

I just put Somnia on my Lava Burst Foge Guard and it's pretty insane

overall I have close to 300% increased stun chance and Im reliably stunning entire screens even at 1500c+

[alpine sage]

That's nice. But btw you can still stun bosses (like shades) with that too right?

Since I'm not sure if 300% stun chance is sufficient for bosses.

[manic cradle]

ocassionally I will stun a boss, but it's not that consistent

i managed to slam a triple exalted on somnia, so I didnt have to sacrifice any damage for it

[alpine sage]

Yeah that is expected

For bosses you still need to rely on tankiness

[manic cradle]

yeh

i also started using unspeced shield bash

for guaranteed stun

[alpine sage]

Oh

[manic cradle]

gives me a little bit of time to reposition if needed and recover julra's stardial cooldown

[alpine sage]

Do you still need manifest armor?

[manic cradle]

i still use it, yes

[alpine sage]

Since right now I'm not sure if we need to use it for bosses

[manic cradle]

shields die to often in boss fights

[alpine sage]

We have ring of shield for the richochet stuff

Ah ok

Do you sacrifice your traversal skill for shield bash?

[manic cradle]

yes

[alpine sage]

Well for me I always need a traversal skill for dangerous situation

Well except judgement paladin (aura or not)

That thing can almost tank a time shattering slam so nothing is needed

[manic cradle]

i played judgement paladin and I think this char has a similar level of tankiness

ah yes... cank tank that I think

not yet 😄

[alpine sage]

Non aura can tank, aura cant unfortunately

[manic cradle]

btw. is Shock
"Max stacks: 10
Effects:
+20% Increased Chance To Be Stunned"

additive or multiplicative with stun chance?

[alpine sage]

Maybe additive?

Increased=additive

More=multiplicative?

[manic cradle]

yeh, id also think so, "to stun" vs "to be stunned"

like "increased damage" vs "increased damage taken" 😄

[alpine sage]

But well, I still prefer a movement skill

Since shades at high corruption are not easy

Most are tankable

But a very few cannot as I remember

[alpine canopy]

Multiplicative, it's a different stat, like the damage taken example

[manic cradle]

I just tested my FG with Somnia at 2800c. Still super smooth. Cleared 15 maps very fast and hasnt been close to death even once

[alpine sage]

wow, you can still tank shades at 2800c?

for me I like to remain at 2100

not sure if I can tank shades lazily at higher than that

since there are some (but very rare) shade (combo) attacks at this lv that I cannot quite tank

otherwise I might need to move and dodge a lot

[manic cradle]

no

[true raptor]

How much is Searing Light in the Healing Hands tree really doing in a Judgement build?

Considering dropping it in favour of more Ward generation

[sinful widget]

Possibly the smoothest campaign run ever. Doing allie’s time rot autobomber and got locket of forgotten knight, advent of the erased and a time rot idol to drop pretty early on

Walking simulator, everything dies around me instantly and I get haste from things dying

[winged aspen]

does anyone here have sentinel COF item filters they would be able to share with me?

[turbid dome]

I'd reccomend using Heavy'z Casual loot filter and filling out the rule for affixes you want with affixes your build wants... I'm lazy when it comes to my loot filter so I used Heavy'z as a base a lot

You could also import your build into LE TOOLS and use their filter generator tool

[winged aspen]

could you link me his filter?

[turbid dome]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/1-3-heavyz-casual-loot-filters-for-all-classes-v6-updated-with-sounds-and-beams/25176

get the one for sentinel

[winged aspen]

is this good for empowered monoliths?

[turbid dome]

its a generic/straightforward loot filter

spending the time to make your own is better overall, but I've used Heavy'z filters forever

[true raptor]

Frozen Sentinel also has a CoF Filter but you'd need to tailor it to your build

[turbid dome]

yea

[peak zodiac]

it scales with all the exact same things judgement does just with less more multipliers, probably not worth dropping but i also don’t play a ton of judgement

[true raptor]

Yeah, I know it's basically free damage. Just wasn't sure how impactful it really is though.

[winged aspen]

can you link me frozensentinels loot filter?

[peak zodiac]

i mean it’s pretty impactful even on my smite vk which doesn’t have nearly as many shared scaling vectors so i would assume it’s a decent chunk of damage (and also, helps maintain application of support ailments)

[true raptor]

Not without looking for it, you can find it on his YouTube

[true raptor]

Alrighty, I'll just keep it then

The extra Ward wont help that much anyway

[hard trellis]

anyone familiar with the devouring orb build?

I could use some advice on my build

[quaint sparrow]

I am not but I believe there is a Max Roll guide for it, so might be worth checking that out

[turbid dome]

what are you trying to do with dorb?

[hard trellis]

It's the core damage of the build I'm doing.

[turbid dome]

no like link your build I mean so I can look at it

[hard trellis]

I'm not strictly following one build, but I can find a build to link you

[turbid dome]

oh do you not have the character leveled yet?

[hard trellis]

I just got to lvl 36

[turbid dome]

and you want to use dorb for your main damage? collision? turret? both?

[hard trellis]

Lol kinda like a lazy carpet bombing build 🤣

[turbid dome]

ah just run and let the dorbs auto bomb

[hard trellis]

Exactly

[turbid dome]

I'd reccomend looking at this build guide on LETOOLS for that kind of gameplay and then seeing what modifications you wana make

*the guide is from 1.3 and not 1.3.5 but I can't imagine something huge would change

[hard trellis]

Where do I farm for forgotten knight set?

[turbid dome]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/search?query=forgotten&in_description=1&exact_match=0

use the LE tools Item DB, it says where to get things/best farm them

[hard trellis]

Thanks, I'm sure this tool will come in handy, not sure how to read it yet but I'm sure the further I progress in the game the more the tool will make sense.

[turbid dome]

have ya played POE?

[hard trellis]

Off and on but never seriously. I have played Diablo quite a bit.

[turbid dome]

ah

idk what diablo uses for community info and build crafting but Le Tools is basically LE's wiki, build planner and info hub all in one

the build planner also has an import button so you can easily add your dude to it

[hard trellis]

Interesting!

[winged aspen]

do i have to manually use the skill for this to work?

[turbid dome]

directly using = you have to manually use it, triggering it doesn't count

[winged aspen]

how do i disable magic/rare items from showing up in my loot filter

[hard trellis]

Can anyone explain rot grip because it's description is confusing me

[topaz shell]

Well, in theory you should manually cast, but apparently this node has been bugged forever and you can cast indirectly. Don't know if they fixed that recently, but i don't think so.

[austere frost]

No indirect cast apply the buff and maybe its a bug but its a feature nowdays

And good one at that

[peak zodiac]

except for the fact that it has been “bugged” (it’s a feature atp) for like 5 years now at least and has worked on indirect cast since beta

[turbid dome]

ah

[austere frost]

Having to manually cast it would suck ,some day i hope anomaly can be cast automatically like devouring orb

[waxen nymph]

Despite what the tooltip says it works with procced Abyssal Echoes

[waxen nymph]

Tldr
Stack time Rot chance, slow chance and cast speed + melee attack speed + throwing attack speed to get a ton of dmg for time Rot

[winter jungle]

anyone got a forge guard DOT build? Like bleed or ignite?

[manic cradle]

Look up number 1 build for FG on the ladder for this season or the previous season

It’s a manifest armor bleed build

TLDR: you throw shields at your manifested armor to trigger attacks.

[waxen nymph]

Careful its very bossing and arena oriented

Clear speed is a bit lacking

[winter jungle]

Sorry I meant forge strike rather than forge guard

I have heard some people say it can be crazy good here and there but have yet to see a build for it so idk

[waxen nymph]

Ailment Forge Strike ?

[winter jungle]

yea

[waxen nymph]

I havent seen it doing anything crazy

[winter jungle]

crazy might be an overstatement, not like A1 build

[waxen nymph]

But Ill be happy to be wrong

[winter jungle]

found two builds but i cant really judge how good they are guess its just trial and error

So I am looking at this one

Armor Shred useless on bleed builds

[winter jungle]

really?

[waxen nymph]

Armor Mitigate hits only

reason it wasnt there I guess

[waxen nymph]

I would go for smth like this instead

[winter jungle]

yea that makes more sense

[waxen nymph]

Same here

[winter jungle]

yea i already removed that one

how does bleed work?

Is it not based off

the hit

that inflicted it?

[waxen nymph]

This is useless too

[waxen nymph]

Bleed is applied by stacks

[winter jungle]

i misunderstood based on other games

Its why flat damage does nothing for this okay

theres a lot that needs changing i think

[waxen nymph]

The stack doesnt care about the dmg the hit who applied it

It cares about More Dmg from the skill tree

[winter jungle]

yea i didnt have any idea how bleed worked thats mb

[waxen nymph]

To scale bleed ( and other ailments) you want
XX Speed (more hit more stacks)
Chance to apply (can go over 100% / 200% = 2 stacks per hit)
% Phys Dmg or % DoT
%Phys Pen / Phys Pen for Bleed
% Duration

[waxen nymph]

To jump back on this because its quite important and often no understood

This is for Hit only

So wont work on bleed

This one doesnt say anything

So it will

And also it will apply to Detonating Ground (Forge Strike Subskill) and to Det Ground bleeds

[waxen nymph]

I would not use Shield Rush

[winter jungle]

that was already on the build

[waxen nymph]

Yeah, but still I would not use it

Take Healing Hand as a traversal

[winter jungle]

with autocast on melee on it?

[waxen nymph]

And it will also apply extra melee hits for extra bleed

[winter jungle]

mhm okay

[waxen nymph]

Tankier, a bit of ward on top of hp and extra bleed

Plus I like it more as a traversal skill

Point and click + you dont get screwed by an invisible rock 😄

Not conviced by this one

A bit of armor and area

Melee Dmg doesnt work on bleed

I would probably go 10/10 here since Phys Res = Bleed Pen for Vengeance

[winter jungle]

yep i have a lot of stuff to change on it in the tree

I made it with the idea that uh hits helped

[waxen nymph]

This the pen could be nice but you already have so much and now you know flat is useless ^^

Boots I'd go for Exile

Duration and More Phys Ailment Dmg (bleed)

You might need to slam a bit of attributes for RR though

[winter jungle]

yea probably

[waxen nymph]

1 RR if you got everything max rolled

2 RR if you dont 😄

With Maxrolled attributes everywhere + 1 t7 RR you are at 183

So you get 3 spares 😄

[alpine sage]

But do you or your forged weapon does most of the damage?

Since that boot is useless if you want a minion build

[winter jungle]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/QWXXYzP3 Updated one, wonder what is better for bleed though stun chance to scale inc DOT for the node on Forge strike, Phy res, or straight DOT increase (For idols)

Ring is interchangeable ig

i wouldnt be able to follow it exactly anyway

[waxen nymph]

Since they have not taken a single node for Forge Weapons or gotten any Inc Minion Dmg in the planner, I guessed they were doing a Player Dmg

[austere frost]

Idk what you want to do either vengeance does bleed or forge strike focus on one and to be honest paladin is better at bleed ,also I would use sigil of hope more increase damage and chance to apply ailments that will get converted to bleed

[alpine sage]

Agree. For me right now forge guard is best at shield abilities, paladin at non-shield abilities that cannot be converted to void

[austere frost]

I would still do paladin shield throw over forgeguard any day of the week

[alpine sage]

Ok well, that's fine.

Forge guard shield throw is harder to gear anyway

[austere frost]

Well fire is superior at the end of the day

More damage extra

[alpine sage]

But they deals more dps

Thanks to the richochet around the shield ring making the lava bursts overlap

Aftef minmaxing shield throw forge guard with lava burst kills dummy faster than pure throw paladin

[austere frost]

Meh negligible while paladin is tankier faster

[alpine sage]

I would say that their tankiness is not different much

You got tons of armor thanks to stealing armor from shield throw in any version

And forge guard has double block effectiveness thanks to the buff from ring of shields

Both cannot tank the time shattering slam but can tank everything else at 2k corruption so difference is not much

It is just that lava burst is harder to gear

But feels more class identity and dps

[winter jungle]

i kind of just want a forge strike build that doesnt use minions, I like the skill itself

i assumed bleed was the best method

but if theres something else id use that

[austere frost]

Maybe you can make it work but honestly bleed needs to be applied a ton idk forgestrike doesn't seem like a skill that can apply as many bleed as you could doing vengeance bleed pally

[winter jungle]

it doesnt need to be bleed honestly

just any forgestrike build that doesnt like rely on minions as the damage

[alpine sage]

Woops

Sry please ignore

Tbh Idk what can forge strike can do other than minion

[winter jungle]

Sad 😔

[winter jungle]

Could you explain the paladin being better at bleed btw? Not questioning or anything just wondering what makes it better

I’ll probably just do the reflect build though honestly, being able to have 2h and a shield feels like a very easy way to get defence and damage

Can paladin be tankier than fg even without a shield?

Or can it viably use a 1h

I like playing absurdly Tanky builds but still wanna be able to clear content

[quaint sparrow]

Paladin and Forge Guard can both unbelievably tanky and clear content though they ofc wont be the fastest

Sentinel in generally is quite naturally tanky.

[alpine sage]

The penance+redemption nodes in paladin allows bleed to deal increased damage, and you can scale endurance threshold for bleed duration

[warped plume]

Is forge guard shield throw bleed?

[waxen nymph]

Can be bleed, ignite, throw hit or spell hit

Might want add a little context to your question 😄

[warped plume]

The build you were talking about above and comparing to pala fire shield throw

[waxen nymph]

Oo they were making a Forge Strike Build

ST was just utility

[warped plume]

Aha

[winter jungle]

yep that would make a lot of sense

[winged aspen]

do I have to manually cast healing hands?

[austere frost]

No

[topaz shell]

Most builds automatize it either using Melee Attacks or Smite.

[iron basin]

<@&1161418687471956101>

[winged aspen]

whats a good way to max crit on a rive void knight? I'm COF

[austere frost]

You need the 5 points into flat crit passive vk tree ,sigil of hope ,anomaly crit maxed both,crit chance on 1 ring,if you ever kill uber you get flat from shattered worlds i dont rememberif you can grt crit chance on relic,rive has some flat crit on tree

[iron basin]

flat crit on your weapon is an option if you're still in the part of gearing where you're relying on exalts

idk if Rive still uses Apathy's Maw or not, but that doesn't have flat crit on it iirc

[alpine canopy]

It does if you slam it

[iron basin]

truuu

I'd really like if they somehow changed things so that exalts are comparable value to legendaries

[turbid dome]

set affixes and primal affixes are a very nice touch for build crafting

[iron basin]

It's a good step but you're still filling every slot that isn't set or primal with a legendary in 99% of situations

[turbid dome]

true

[iron basin]

And I'm probably one of the biggest defenders of exalts being fine. They just don't keep up nowadays with guaranteed affix slams

[turbid dome]

imo the best boost for exalted items would be more regalia/lvl 80+ bases for each slot that don't get uniques

[iron basin]

yeah that would be a good step

[turbid dome]

with implicits that make or break stuff like Leo helm

[iron basin]

bases in LE honestly make a massive difference

I don't really know what to do outside of that. Don't really want to see uniques nerfed as a whole since having build defining legendaries is neato

it's just boring how every slot is a legendary

[peak zodiac]

i mean less so on sentinel but for the most part still yea lol

[turbid dome]

sentinel is less so because sent gets really good bases

[iron basin]

yeah it's ironic I'm complaining about this here of all things lol

[turbid dome]

but like give mage a spell blade body armor and helmet

give sent a caster armor and helmet, more options

[peak zodiac]

i had a feedback post about this a while back but i also think it makes a big difference that the layers of rng for a good exalt are way deeper than those for uniques

[turbid dome]

thats a good point

[iron basin]

agreed

it's good that they've added more crafting tools at least

[turbid dome]

quintuple-ly so for a good exalted nemisus base

[iron basin]

havoc is pretty sick

[peak zodiac]

as well as the systems in place that allow you to help get your uniques (strife, turtle) when basically none of them exist for exalts

[iron basin]

it's hard to balance how easy crafting exalts can be though since that direct affects how easily you can get crafting fodder for your legendaries

[peak zodiac]

yep, every suggestion i've heard on that front also buffs uniques which doesn't shift the problem at all

[turbid dome]

I'd be happy with a system or mechanic that makes getting exalts easier but their tagged so you can't use them legendary crafting

[winter jungle]

whats the best sentinel to run early endgame for levelling, like mastery and skill

[iron basin]

yeah I was just thinking that as you wrote it out

[turbid dome]

just say their temporally fluxed or some random mumbo jumbo and can't be used for legendary crafting

[winter jungle]

not too equipment reliant but still strong

[turbid dome]

hammer throw probably

[peak zodiac]

hammer throw is the classic league start for sentinel players worldwide for a reason

[iron basin]

I would say erasing strike but I'm biased to the big bonk

[winter jungle]

I am forge guard currently but I feel like its not very strong

especially without teh shield node

in the passive tree

[turbid dome]

I love me a rive, void cleave, erasing strike starter but it is weaker than hammer throw

[iron basin]

forge guard you have to have a plan going into it and a reason for being forge guard

[peak zodiac]

because forge guard is bad lol

[turbid dome]

forge guard is very build specific for if its good or bad

[winter jungle]

yea I have a plan for it but it needs equipment I dont have sadly

[turbid dome]

its the worst for just throwing stuff at the wall out of the sentinels

[winter jungle]

which is why Iw as asking

[turbid dome]

paladin hammer throw is probs the play

tons of free stats which will help with gearing, solid damage

then switch back to forge guard later

[winter jungle]

hammer throw or erasing strike sounds cool i could do one of them

I tried hammer throw early campaign but didnt like it

But i also didnt have all the good nodes

[peak zodiac]

ES does do a ton of damage even early but you're basically forced to play generator spender until you get mana, which sucks

[turbid dome]

true

its a good thing time and faith doesnt need you to hit something tho

[winter jungle]

i dont mind playing generator though honestly

i was doing it with my forge strike in campaign

vengeance and forge strike

[iron basin]

Yeah you definitely wanna try swapping to another build for a bit then. Unless you're a masochist, you want to farm out your FG build gear first and then swap over to it

[winter jungle]

yea I got this drop though I think it'd be pretty good for ES no? Like for now

has double t5 flat

[iron basin]

I'm definitely a hypocrite there though because I will 100% just play my endgame goal build or something very similar to it even if it's garbage without the gear farmed

I did it with smelters wrath and I'll do it again

[turbid dome]

a big pile of flat damage isn't bad, but a lot of VK's nodes boost void damage, you would be relying on any %melee dmg nodes you got for your scaling for that

[winter jungle]

then is ES even worth going til I get like world splitter or Eternal Eclipse?

[turbid dome]

*vk also gets 1% more melee void dmg per 3 vitality via your mastery passive

[turbid dome]

yeah dont forget the +70 melee damage implicit there converts to your skills damage type

[iron basin]

Don't let him indoctrinate you to the void wizard money gang

[turbid dome]

if I was doing that I'd be talking about damage spec anomaly

[winter jungle]

I just wanna play a tanky build I can farm with til I get my equipment I dont really care all that much what I play

[iron basin]

Baby steps

It's like how I got my friend into Warhammer. He started buying gunpla

Then I convinced him to paint his own

Now he has a handful of 3k pt armies

[turbid dome]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/paladin-leveling-guide

maxroll has a lot of solid leveling guides for LE

[iron basin]

Yeah just any of the leveling guides would be good for early gear farming

[winter jungle]

<@&1161418687471956101>

thanks

[winter jungle]

dude i rune of ascendance and got this man... 😭

oh well i guess just save it for later

[iron basin]

that's a great unique for basically any minion build tho lol

slap it into a nemesis later and hope for LP

[winter jungle]

yea but

I was just talking about switching and now I get it

I still will switch

Im trying to find like a non hammer one though I dont really like hammer

[iron basin]

like I said, I'm stubborn and play whatever my goal end build will be even if it's trash up until that point

so I'm probably not the best to listen to when it comes to that lol

maybe I'll do bleed Forge Strike some day

lots of free pen from the tree

[austere frost]

I personally think that vk is the coolest mastery of LE ,not something many games i played has ,this echo mechanic is very cool and strong ,never has been the most op mastery but definitely everyone should try a vk build

[austere frost]

Hammer throw physical is the best leveling skill of Sentinel and after what I know i pick that everytime cause it saves me ton of time on monos and getting to empowered and its scales well enough

[winter jungle]

currently doing judgment pali but its like super low investment idk what the natural progression of it is from here

like what uniques i want and what exalted stuff I want

im looking at the ladder and its just all this reflect build 😭

or like do I just stay using judgment, do i switcch if I get X unique etc.

how viable is like electrify javelin?

[austere frost]

A lot more viable nowdays I rather do hit build javelin lightning not dot

[austere frost]

That build is a safe build but its mapping ain't great follow a guide until you learn more about the game and its uniques if you feel underwhelmed

[winter jungle]

yea I dont hate judgment, single target is crazy good but the mana drain is really bad and if you are with mobile mobs it kind of sucks, even loot lizards just get away sometimes 😭

just wondering what could be the step up from this

javelin i have had in the last league but I I know you need the specific idols for it

smite on hit with throwing attack or something

[austere frost]

I mean erasing strike warpath have great mapping while being superb boss killers

[austere frost]

Javelin hit damage with sierpin for mapping and then bossing you use spear with plus 2 to Javelin skill is good build ,rive pally,rive vk stronger,smite vk,multisttrike smite just pick something try it or read about it

[winter jungle]

i go and check the ladder for sentinels and its just the thorns build 😭

[austere frost]

Nobody cares about ladder ho check maxroll and last epoch tools

[winter jungle]

Struggling to find a javelin hit damage build, is there any world in which it is viable with just one weapon rather than swapping? I only see Electrify Javelin builds

dont know how good time rot vengeance is but i just got this is it worth using?

or just vengeance crit strength stacking

[waxen nymph]

This is not good for Time Rot, you want Chance to Time Rot on Hit as prefix

Well its decent to start but eventually you want smth different

[waxen nymph]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z2CbeUrOh8

[winter jungle]

im still like level 70 or so, currently running judgement but the clear sucks

[winter jungle]

saw this one too

I think it weapon swaps though

not sure

[waxen nymph]

For clearing you want a sierpin though

She doesnt

Its 2 uber kill with 2 different weapons

One with t8 Javelin

One with a lp Jav

[winter jungle]

what does UA mean sorry?

[waxen nymph]

Uber Aberroth

[winter jungle]

Oh of course

this person also had an electrify one im pretty sure

[waxen nymph]

Yup

[winter jungle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INNBLHVhkL8

yep

the electrify one doesnt have a budget though I assume its less viable

on lesser equipment

[sinful widget]

I do judgement aura for mapping and standard judgement for bossing

[winter jungle]

both use the same spear dont they? The only difference I can see is some of the equipment isn't 3 lp with 2x t7s and stuff, and changed the relic

and why sierpens for mapping? I look at it and i feel like that t8 weapon would be better no? Or do you mean if you dont have it available?

[waxen nymph]

I see 2 different spear

[winter jungle]

the left is the mapping one no?

well its under the mapping planner I think

[waxen nymph]

Indeed

Sierpin is good for mapping because it gives you the split effect for no skill pts

[winter jungle]

ah yea it looks like the judicator is used for high corruption mapping over the spear okay

[austere frost]

Vengeance is pretty garbo for time rot, meanwhile erasing strike time rot is the new meta cause its super strong

[winter jungle]

really ES rot is viable? You would still need to get around the mana cost issues though no?

[austere frost]

Nope cause you dont need to spam one es gives like almost or max stacks

[winter jungle]

how heavy is the equipment investment then? It cant be viable early right?

[waxen nymph]

Uber viable no

[winter jungle]

I think its just not for me honestly

[winter jungle]

I just finished campaign today I just wanna get off judgement 😭

[waxen nymph]

But Time rot is pretty low bar early to get rolling

If you want to see a full maxed character check mistia again

[winter jungle]

i got a pretty good titans heart chest with vitality on it i can use temporarily

[austere frost]

Dude just pick anything last epoch aint poe 2

You can check many builds on Sentinel in what's left of season

One positive thing about last epoch is alt creation and trying different builds is a cake walk cause its a lot easier to get going than in other arpgs

[winter jungle]

i am just a bit blind when it comes to sentinel specifically, I am used to rogue this is my first time actually properly playing it

the playstyle is very different

rogue i didnt really care about defence past surface level

[turbid dome]

Sentinel has the best class specific gear in terms of raw defense, always be upgrading your helmet and body armor bases.

This also continues into the late game with leonine helmet and champions regalia giving you a silly amount of raw armor, reduced bonus dmg from crits and armor applies to dots

Like a leonine helmet has more raw armor than most body armors in the game

And that’s not counting its huge crit defense part

[sinful widget]

And paladin passives are stacked with free resistances which makes gearing super easy

I love it

Endurance and threshold too

Holy aura and symbols giving a ton of defensive benefits, block chance

Healing hands giving sustain and ward

[winter jungle]

If i already have a prophecy that awards runes x11 can i still get another of the same reward type?

[waxen nymph]

Yes

[warped plume]

I’ve stacked the entire prophecy window with the same prophecy

[waxen nymph]

If only we could buy them in bulk

[austere frost]

I would love to get rid of all the small prophecies and only keep the big ones it would save a ton of time of rerolling,getting prophecies and grinding items ,killing the 1lp prophecies should be a qol we should get any day

[peak zodiac]

i mean i'm fine with them having small prophecies for low ranked characters but honestly they should lock a lot of the ones that are useless once you hit certian cof ranks

[austere frost]

Also why cant we make the items drop around the same amount like 10 every proc some items max drop per prophecies is likr 4 idk if its axes or maces or both but like it should have same amount and cost as one handed swords

just keep in mind the transporting dorb thing doesn't work with the auto cast orbiting dorbs

Paladin is better since you get more attunement, resistances, and holy aura. The only real benefit of FG is if you want to use a 2 handed weapon

[uneven gorge]

I wouldn't say its gigabroken. It's very easy to build for, but even reflect pali only farms at ~1k corruption, which most builds can do, and it still not great for uberroth

[iron basin]

just need to find another 4LP so you can reroll that +1 void skills to +2

[austere frost]

I mean when you literally need a 1 lp in most gear,and you need chest and a shield that drops with a ton lp chance and every class can abuse it its broken

None of the s tier builds get going with a 0 lp chest and shield

[uneven gorge]

Ya, I know it's easy to build for, I agree. It's just no summon bear doing 1 billion damage or rogue 1 shotting uberroth. It's not even in like the top 10 of builds

[austere frost]

That's the thing you dont need to deal 1 billion damage to be busted but anyway glad its getting nerfed literally people doing anything than running around and clicking a defensive ability,and because its busted farm build you can get a ton of ms that other builds dont get by mixing interactions

[uneven gorge]

I really don't understand the sentiment when there's builds that can clear just as fast if not faster and also do more damage. Like ppl will complain about reflect walking through 1k corruption, then go play their warpath VK that spins through 3k corruption

[austere frost]

Yeah but warpath doesn't work from the get go you literally need 1 lps to feel good,meanwhile I do prophecy of idols and with crap rolls i go through 1k corr like nothing

People with great gear get to do 3k corruption or more on warpath thats deserved

[winter jungle]

i am just trying to use it to farm for other builds honestly, its very easy to gear for I have everything except the abberoth drops and the rings and I started farming for it yesterday https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/Qnaaq2q1

What would u replace on ring/helmet/relic slots

hmm

[austere frost]

Those are fine but your boots i would run boots with movement speed and attunment slams cause you are to slow for my taste

[winter jungle]

no thats not mine it just a build I saw

I dont have those ones yet

what i currently have til I get some of the uniques

think its probably fine for now

i just made to 100 corruption empowered monos

bro

how is this

item allowed

??????????

this shit is insane

LOL

bro its like playing elden ring vs playing an afk simulator what

[winter jungle]

hmmm

maybe try move th exalt from DOT to melee crit but i think its overkill

these are just half baked items ig

[uneven gorge]

Yeah its very much too easy to build for

[peak zodiac]

the optimal way to level any character starting from level 35 all the way until like level 90 is to play reflect. it farms giga fast with zero gear and can do uber in like 3 minutes with 1lps, and it somehow requires even less input than warpath to play. it’s gigabroken

[uneven gorge]

Yeah, I agree it's way too easy to build for. I have stated that many times now

[peak zodiac]

hence why that wasn’t the only reason i listed

[uneven gorge]

The only other notable reasons you listed were 1) Its good at farming - Yeah, there are other builds that are also just as good if not better at speed farming, and 2) It can do uberroth in 3 mins with 1lp gear - But you don't mention that's not only Primalist, which has much higher damage than paladin, and it still takes ~3 minutes even with 2lp and 3lp gear. And there's 10+ builds at least that can do uberroth faster with 1lp gear too, let alone 2lp+

Again, the only broken thing about it is that it's too easy to build for. Speed farming isn't shocking. Doing uberroth in 3 minutes isn't revolutionary.

[peak zodiac]

and the fact that it can do all of this with basically zero input from the player lmfao

and ya i’d say if a build is too easy to build for while also being one of if not the fastest farmer in the game AND being able to do uber in 3 minutes, while being viable on any class and requiring virtually zero player input, idk what other criteria for something to be broken could possibly be missing lol

[uneven gorge]

Ok? I really don't care whether I need to hold down 2 buttons instead of 1

[uneven gorge]

Easy, if it was harder to build for it'd just be a good speed farming build. I'd say summon bear killing uberroth in 30 seconds or falconer in general are significantly more broken than a build that's strongest aspect is that it speed farms slightly faster than most other builds

[peak zodiac]

i didn’t say it was the most broken thing, i said it was gigabroken, which it is. balance is pretty out of whack this season so there are a lot of things that are pretty dang busted

[uneven gorge]

I don't see the point of this, I already agree it needs to be nerfed, Ima go have dinner

cya

[peak zodiac]

i mean ok i’m not sure why you even felt the need to dispute what i said in the first place then lol

[winged aspen]

symbols of hope still works without activating it right

[austere frost]

I mean daimonos is 1000% right on everything

Maybe you dont want build to get nerfed well too bad its gonna happen devs stated it was broken too much

Warpath aint beating uber on 1lps gear

Ant its not breezing through campaign and early monos like that

Doing troves with reflect people everything dies druid or shaman idk literally guy taking no damage and running around proccing troves ,but anyway fun to play with others

[turbid dome]

symbols of hope generates them when its on your bar, you get the passive effects from each stack/symbol it generates and they just chill. Hitting the skill's button triggers its activate effect

[uneven gorge]

1. I literally just said I agree that it needs nerfing.
2. Warpath can beat uberroth with just 1lps, you'd just need to dodge a lot more of the attacks. People don't do it because it's really easy to get 2lps on most slots now. If anything you're going to have a harder time doing uberroth with 1lps with reflect, given this guy has 2lps+ as a shaman and still struggled: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9esXXhrrOU
3. I literally just said I agree that it needs nerfing.

[winter jungle]

it can do uber lol?

jesus

im missing alot though ngl

i dont have much attunement yet

[winter jungle]

I can see reflect forge guard doing it but havent seen a reflect paladin doing it

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/oRdbYZYQ saw this one beat it

I am kinda done with this but let me point out this guy gear is 36 hour playing the builds is quite whatever his idols are crap his gear is again ok at most and he still kill uber with less than 3k health I am sure I would had same success with my warpath having that much mediocre gear progression so idk seems kinda bonkers dont you think,idk nothing more need to be said i feel like we done.

[high narwhal]

I think rather than merf just buff other ascendency

Buff forge guard please

[winter jungle]

i dont think the absolute high end of the build is a problem, like its slower than some of the builds at UA at the absolute peak with full investment

but its by far the strongest low investment

atleast among those i atried

like 1-2 minutes instead of 40 seconds

[loud quest]

Saw that shaman video. Sure, mid gear, 36 hours after new season, but this guy knows what he's doing. Your average guy copying maxroll wouldn't have a video to post.

[loud quest]

I can still clear troves faster on my es vk than on my reflect shaman. Groups of four make it a lot harder on reflect shaman builds due to HP scaling.

What makes me think reflect shaman is so broken is the armor scaling with thorn shield, coupled with dodge and foot of the mountain. Granted, it's geared well, but I don't think a reflect build should be able to eat all three triple flail, or eat Uber fire meteors, or eat the first phase of Uber's super laser.

[drowsy ingot]

Im new in this game, leveling my 1st Sentinel (85 actually) and just started empowered monolith. Currently im having fun with a paladin with fire warpath and judgement, but it’s an hybrid so I doubt it will be good when corruption will rise. Any suggestion for the final build, so I can start hunting for gear? (Im playing offline so I don’t care about leaderboard or megahyper corruption levels)

[waxen nymph]

Fire Warpath
Judgement either Aura or ground Spam
Lightning Javelin (Crit or Electrify)
Bleed Vengeance

Multistrike Smite
Hammer Smite

Fire Shield Throw

That's a pretty wide list 😁

XX da

[loud quest]

Es vk is my personal favorite build.

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/Baalzevuv/character/FrankyDeLobo

[drowsy ingot]

Fire warpath is the autocast of smite and whatever while spinning?

[loud quest]

It's a pure void build. Profile has Uber gear equipped but can also do a hell of a job stun locking

[drowsy ingot]

Thanks, I’ll give a look

[waxen nymph]

That or Melee hit yeah

[drowsy ingot]

Melee hit sounds similar to where I am atm. Is this build somewhere so I can take a look?

[alpine sage]

Judgement aura provides the most dps

But don't equip anything that has "damage dealt to mana before health"

That will deplete your mana very quickly and makes judgement aura useless. Just use your mana purely for dps and you are fine enough since paladin is very tanky anyway.

[sinful widget]

Hmm I might have to try reflectadin next

[warped plume]

Shaman is better than sentinel if you’re not HC

[drowsy ingot]

Do you also have a planner to understand which gear I need to start farming the gear you already got? 😂

[sinful widget]

Yeah I’m just a sentinel enjoyer and enjoy keeping deathless as long as possible

But will probably try shaman soon too

[loud quest]

Not really, but I think most people play paladin til like L85 then make the switch? Until you get immortal vise, use grasp of the blood mage or eternal gauntlets. Use anchor of oblivion until you get shattered worlds.

Don't use hastened cataclysm (erasing strike) until you have 1400 mana and truesight glass. Use the node that removes es cooldown instead and follow a more conventional es vk guide.

[placid pelican]

is there anything is the Dino rifts thats useful for a VK ?

smite/devouring orb

[drowsy ingot]

Have zero gear to play any kind of vk, I presume I’ll have to put a proper filter on and grab a “starting kit” or something like that

[warped plume]

Bones and horns to buy bags of amber that can contain havoc

Runes

And the t8 rune I think as well

[placid pelican]

ahhh good thinking ❤️

[loud quest]

Most of it is accessible on a new character, save for shattered worlds and vise. Chains can be irritating. Definitely add the idols to your filter. Make sure your world splitter has the .3% of skill cost to flat crit

I don't have any step by step planner. I just wore crap, filled in gaps with idols and blessings, and just kept swimming.

[austere frost]

With new vk tree its very easy to play from start , its not like try making a build with zero gear like i had to do to play primalist or acolyte

[drowsy ingot]

Probably, play it from the start was the right thing to do. I feel as it would be easier to start another char than respec this one 😂

[winged aspen]

im looking for frenzy from traversal skills so I put this into my loot filter. did I put it in right?

[loud quest]

Looks fine, but you're gonna have an easier time going to prison and swapping a prefix then using a havoc rune

[winged aspen]

how do i get rune prison complex? its not being sold and i have none to imprint

and i always kill exiled mages in my maps

[waxen nymph]

Kill more mages

Took me a long time to get one thos season

Got 2 RR before getting one Prison xD

[winged aspen]

are you more likely to get one at higher corruption?

[winged aspen]

that must be the hardest woven echo to get

[winged aspen]

im doing cemetery of reweaving until i get it

got it already

lmfao

that wasn't even a grind

[turbid dome]

[quaint sparrow]

To be fair I have seen a tonne of these, seen a lot of people complaining about it being rare.

[heady saffron]

I've played Smite multistrike Paladin in Tombs, Erasing Strike Voidknight in Ancient Skies, so next season is time for Forge Guard. I want to build for Forged Weapons. Which of these two have more potential in your opinion:

1. Full Sunforged set items set + Cerata with Warpath https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/planner/aivy0cde
2. T8 twohander + Mantle of Pale Ox with Vengeance https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/planner/8w5im0ik#3

I do not care about uber but if the build is uber capable then its great. I used the second one a little bit and its royal pain in the butt to keep resummoning the weapons constantly and getting the perfect roll for the weapon in the first place. I get it that shield bash or reflect is currently probably better, but I'd like to give smol flaming swords a chance

[waxen nymph]

Clearly the second

Warpath isnt that great for FW

[heady saffron]

Damn it. Should I try to dual wield the t8 sword with Countenance of Majasa for better defences?

The first build looks like gigatank with little damage now that I look at it

Also which stats do FW get if my main weapon would an unique?

[turbid dome]

Despite getting nerfed, counterance is still great

Forged weapons do not inherit attributes and complicated affixes (like event horrizon’s stacking dmg and slow)

[iron basin]

i should play a forged weapon build some day

i've only ever used them as a way of getting ignites up for SW

and I guess technically some amount of flat melee fire from the sunforged set

[turbid dome]

minion fg is fun

would be better if FG had a consistent taunt so he can tank and the swords can shank

[iron basin]

anytime I spec forge guard I get drawn to the big bonk

because it's like void knight big bonk but worse and red instead of purple

[austere frost]

Idk forgeweapons have some problems like why they have to scale with attunment instead of strength forgeguard gets quite a bit of strength on its passive tree and you will 2 hand a weapon

Make it 50%more attack speed and 50%more damage and make them scale with strength like not hard to fix them or improve them

[sinful widget]

hmm, what am I missing with the 5 point bonus from covenant of dominion? not seeing anything that boosts mana regen in holy aura tree

[waxen nymph]

I guess its poorly worded

It gives Holy Aura 25% Inc Mana Regen

[sinful widget]

ah so more of an additional bonus than a synergistic thing

ty

[waxen nymph]

Yup

[sinful widget]

was starting to question my sanity

[waxen nymph]

😅

[sinful widget]

so let's say I want to practice some leaguestarting strategies but don't wanna rerun the campaign everytime, can I get a character up to that point in full offline mode and save a copy so I can restart from that point?

[loud quest]

Kinda? Pretty sure the corruption mechanic with Confluence of Oblivion works the same in offline mode, but each build requires the same run through the campaign for idols, passives and attributes rewards.

[warped plume]

can't you just save a copy of all the save files, keep going and then when you wanna try something new delete the current ones and replace them with the old copy?

just make sure the steam save file could thingy is turned off

[sinful widget]

yeah something like that is what I had in mind

[warped plume]

steam save file cloud thing

[drowsy ingot]

If a passive stated “+20% fire pen with ignite” it works with all my fire damage or just the dot of ignite? (It’s phoenix strike)

[waxen nymph]

Just ignite

[winged aspen]

what are some good gloves that are not immortal vise that a Rive Void Knight could benefit from?

[peak zodiac]

falcon fists, weaver gloves, good eternal gauntlets, potentially rav void depending on how many affixes you need

[austere frost]

Grasp of blood if you need damage reduction before immortal vise

[winged aspen]

are 2lp hard to obtain?

[austere frost]

If you try to get them you will have quite a few ,just not as easy to obtain than falcon fist for example

[winged aspen]

falcon good for a 77 slam right

[austere frost]

Most people go for those before vise cause Dr it gives is huge

Falcon is good for anything you will get multiple 3 lps of those too

[winged aspen]

i will get a 3lp falcon then

and get good rolled attack speed

is 1lp ravenous void good?

[austere frost]

1 lp its what you are going to get max,unless you get insanely lucky

[waxen nymph]

@hybrid crown Hey, sorry for the random ping but I saw your comment on Reddit and I was wondering if you have theorycrafted on Disintegrating Aura, and what was the max dps you got

[austere frost]

Desintegrating aura is good like you go one shooting bosses with the kind of gear we have access to nowdays but it would be cool if anyone tried to fight uber with it or dummy tests

First time doing that build with like some stuff put around Lagon was dead before phases

[warped plume]

it's good, but they are big defensive boost, and I'm not sure you need that in SC on your char

you also need to cleanse their proc

[hybrid crown]

It’s okay, not the best Hammer Throw setup atm. Was better with old Volatile Reversal and is best paired with other DoT mechanics/ailments. Void Cleave Aura and the throw dmg from there, Time Rot, Doom, etc.

Honestly imo the sentinel reworks limited Sent more than it helped but that’s only in build creativity not necessarily limited great builds. Idk if that’s a hot take or not, but I used to love theorycrafting on sent, now I hate it, so might be me

[waxen nymph]

Volatile Crutch being gone is a good thing imo

But there is a lot of place where the number haven't been adjusted (enough)

[peak zodiac]

i mean honestly symbols of hope is sorta the same now in terms of how every sentinel build uses it

[wooden mountain]

symbols of cope if it's a bad build, symbols of hope if it's a good one

[alpine sage]

Is smite void knight better than smite paladin?

Same for multistrike smite?

[peak zodiac]

yes, more dps and way tankier while also not having to deal with devotion clunk

and capping crit is way easier

[hybrid crown]

yeah, it's good that's it gone no arguing that. I just meant the Sent reworks were more of a miss than a hit is all.

[peak zodiac]

i think the weakest aspect is the lack of diversity in support skills, overall i think the rework was fairly successful

[waxen nymph]

Hum... Don't know if I agree. I personally like new sentinel more.

The main problem is the lack of balance between skills and subskills

[peak zodiac]

i think that’s more of a broad issue rather than sentinel specific though

[alpine sage]

Hmm, I wonder. Why, even with the primal spirit xylem and devotion, smite paladin is still worse than smite void knight.

[hybrid crown]

Idk sentinel feels like one of the more boring classes to theorycraft on. Having a rework that didn't benefit that is seen as a pretty big miss to me.

[winged aspen]

are there good unique two handed swords good for a Rive Void Knight?

[peak zodiac]

spirit xylem honestly leaves you in a pretty bad spot in terms of tankiness. sure, you’ll have a lot of maxhp and titan heart, but so much of paladin’s defensive identity is tied to having block. you do get the upside of being able to generate ward through twisted heart, but even then, tankiness ends up way worse. and instead of needing to stack mana and dedicate a skill spec (usually abyssal echoes) basically entirely for the purpose of dumping mana, where vks can get a comparable amount of flat while also having their entire mana pool to use for strong skills and be able to mana tank with seed of ekkedrasil

[austere frost]

If this node was like idk 4 seconds buff at least thats would be great buff for desintegrating aura

[turbid dome]

I love and hate this wacky mode

[drowsy ingot]

Is there a way to hide the area effect of the rift beast summoned by your amulet?

[waxen nymph]

Not that I know of and its annoying

[drowsy ingot]

A lot. Maybe some lineage power doesn’t create area effects…?

[alpine sage]

Idk, at least judgement aura spirit xylem gives you tons of dps that you don't really need a lot of block, simimar to javelin or crit hammer paladin. Problem is, smite spirit xylem does not give you enough dps like judgement aura.

[peak zodiac]

the throwing builds also have more access to tankiness in other areas, and it's always gonna be compared to vk, who gets better tankiness returns from stacking vit than pala does for stacking att

[alpine sage]

And I actually don't want to use seed of ekkedrasil along with judgement aura

[peak zodiac]

and even with xylem att is worse than mana affixes dps wise

[alpine sage]

Since I want to maximize dps

[peak zodiac]

last season pala was fairly comparable to vk for selfcast but t8 benefitted vk way more than xylem benefits pala

[alpine sage]

What t8?

You mean smite?

[peak zodiac]

spell void on chest

[alpine sage]

Ah

But still even with that t8 can smite vk be good?

Since smite deals quite trash damage with paladin

[peak zodiac]

yes, i played it for like 3 months, it's not the craziest dps but i was farming 2500c pretty comfortably

it can do uber pretty easily too but i usually used lich for that for more dps

[alpine sage]

Hmm, have you tried the multistrike smite version? Is it stronger than self cast?

[peak zodiac]

it's more dps for sure but it's much less tanky and playstyle of selfcast is better imo, i tested both and they're fairly comparable overall but i prefer selfcast

[alpine sage]

I see. Thanks a lot.

[wooden monolith]

Vk smite is very good and can kill UA.
T8 is better on helmet

[molten sparrow]

Why on helmet ? Isnt the increase from T7 to T8 higher on the body part ?

[wooden monolith]

Yep, but we like to wear damage reduction stuff on body (null portent or titan heart) for survivability

[peak zodiac]

for multistrike yeah but for selfcast no it isn’t lol

null portent/titan heart with t8 leonine is less survivability than t8 champ regalia with seed, the only reason you go t8 helm on multistrike is bc mana is unsustainable with seed on that version

[wooden monolith]

Ok, i was talking about the multistrike, i have never played self cast.
I play aurelis + mad alchemist (aurelis very powerfull on UA)

[alpine sage]

the aurelis sounds more like pally version than vk version

[wooden monolith]

I play aurelis to kill UA, it s way faster than omnivision.
Smite pally sucks ^^

[manic cradle]

can Aurelis build kill UA? have you done that already? if yes, can I see a build planner? 😄

[alpine sage]

wait how?

No matter how I see it, it cannot provide better void damage than omnivision.

@wooden monolith Btw if you dual wield, did you consider using Aberroth's Command instead?

[wooden monolith]

"100% chance to caste smite on bosses after u use multistrike"
With a lot of attack speed it s powerfull.
Il killed UA with both builds, and aurelis is faster.

[wooden monolith]

No, it seems not good for smite

[peak zodiac]

dw also lets u use ladle for 48% more, it's always been the higher dps option but dw multistrike smite is really squish imo

even on selfcast dw is technically the most dps but it makes you super squishy

[wooden monolith]

Malus is 8% for dw. It's not that squishy. I didn t even see the difference on UA

[alpine canopy]

There's also opportunity cost. You take 8% more damage in addition to losing all the DR you get from a shield.

[wooden monolith]

Ok.
i don t play with shields ^^ it lowers too much the dps (il like trying new builds on UA, can t do it with shields, fight takes too long)

[peak zodiac]

yea i mean -8% dr is bad on its own but it’s primarily the opportunity cost, sentinels best defensive gearing options primarily revolve around either block or titan heart. i probably wouldn’t use shield with multistrike though (dps would be pretty bad), I generally did staff for multistrike as it enables (imo) best balance of tankiness and dps

i’m not overly concerned with uber kill times though as I just use my lich to farm uber. Usually every other build I’ll kill him once or twice just for the sake of it but if i’m actually gonna farm him it’s gonna be on lich

[wooden monolith]

I agree, and stuff is easier to get : 2lp titan heart is easy to get, 2lp null portent is a pain).
Me like to do the most dps builds, not balanced builds 😀

[winged aspen]

whats a good amulet other than nihilis or evolution end for a rive void knight? found a 77 amulet and want to make use for it

[gritty idol]

Im struggling to kill the Temporal sanctum boss at t4 to get Crit multi on my world splitter any help?

[iron basin]

Omnis is a generally strong amulet still. If you get lucky with the rolls it can solve a lot of your resists for you

[drowsy ingot]

Noob question about legendary crafting: tiers 2-3-4 of temporal sanctum are just for level requirements or affects also the final result of the slam?

[turbid dome]

Just for what uniques you can slam, no change to odds

So pray to Lady Luck

[iron basin]

I like the build. I absolutely hate that every item is a unique. That's not on you and entirely on the game. I just hate that it's how the game has moved

[waxen nymph]

There a build where you want full exalted 😏

Sets exalted to be precise

[iron basin]

If you bring up that stupid ring I will personally cross the atlantic to give you a firm finger wagging

[manic cradle]

Yeh... that's how the endgame is now... But no unique is really mandatory for this build 😉 They are just simply best in slot 😉

[iron basin]

yeah I get it. I just don't like it. feels like D3

I should try making more primordial spear builds

sentinel is a pretty good candidate for it since you can get so many resists from the tree. you can much more easily afford to dump suffixes and go hard on full damage exalted blues

[austere frost]

Sentinel has the 2 best exalted armor in the game so many times a leonine is best in slot .

[iron basin]

Yeah it's like the one class that can pull it off. Ironically I always end up bringing this grievance up in this channel lol

[austere frost]

Its hard to balance exalts ,they need to have very strong implicit to make an unique with slams on it worse than wearing the exalts,gloves eternal were bis and strong but now grasp and uber gloves outclass the exalt gloves by a ton

Even ravenous void needs to be adjusted cause its lpl its too high for what it does nowdays

[drowsy ingot]

With at least tier 2 one affix can be choosen, isn’t it?

[waxen nymph]

Correct

[gritty idol]

Im not sure what my priority should be on upgrades from here. also I started like 3days ago and have no idea what to do with my duplicate uniques if anyonw could explain what
I can do with them that would be very helpful https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/BM663RmP

[waxen nymph]

I dont really know Warpath but the most glaring missing unique is Shattered Chain (unique belt from Shade Of Orobyss)

Also you could get everything slammed with t7 and not t6

Duplicate uniques can be used either for Nemesis if they dont have any lp

Farsight Turtle if they have 1lp+ and you want to try for more lp
Bricked legendaries can be used to reroll (divine in poe term) uniques in a woven echoes

[gritty idol]

I've been popping shades all day and havent seen one

[waxen nymph]

What corruption ?

[gritty idol]

350

[waxen nymph]

Drop rate scale with corruption and distance

[gritty idol]

I could probably push for 500

[waxen nymph]

and Distance is very important

[gritty idol]

ok so I just need to go super deep into a monolith without getting blocked in

[waxen nymph]

Dont need to go for super deep, but the one that pop at the beginning has a pretty low drop rate

[gritty idol]

how do I do this because I've just been dropping everything that nemesis makes legendary(with no LP)

[gritty idol]

so I gotta do weever stuff, I wish I had been doing that since the beginning

[gritty idol]

Ok that turtle got me an LP3 Siphon of anguish

[waxen nymph]

Noice

[austere frost]

Keep all 1 lp splitters for rerolling until you have a perfect roll one then slam t7 melee crit and if you get 2 lp t7 melee attack speed as second stat,2 lp splitter even if nemesis bricked or slam bricked keep them for rerolling ,after that all 1 lp splitter go to turtle in hope they become 2 lp and when they fail back to 0 lp you put them back into nemesis its recycling

[gritty idol]

ok so I need to keep farming splitters, and how do I got about getting that woven echo?

[gritty idol]

got it

[waxen nymph]

Probably in Masque shop too if you are high enough in the faction

Not sure about that one

[austere frost]

Cementery, by advancing weaver faction unlock echoes you can buy,

[austere frost]

This look fine you just need more time to get better gear t7 t6 and some day t7 t7 on most slots ,use imprint system in the weaver tree to upgrade your exalts and get you better gear while you play,also whenever you can try get leonine helm with channel cost t8 need rune evolution, t7 does good job,also idk if you know what echo to imprint in weaver tree but rampant coast is best cause it procs a ton,

Go kill abomination and farm his gold blessing closer to max better you are going to need that for bones farm,also in weaver tree gold boost you are going to want for some reason gold boost makes more bones drop,so you can buy more stuff from merchant and engage with rift beast system

[gritty idol]

ok I have just been running Raxxs weever tree

[austere frost]

This is meh I wouldn't run it or 1 point is ok

This a must

Then follow whatever he has on his tree

[drowsy ingot]

Oh? Why so good?

[waxen nymph]

Gold rate = bones rate

[drowsy ingot]

Holy 💩

[waxen nymph]

So when you see zerrick and go in a rift

Its bank !!!

[austere frost]

Now my problem is I have 76 million gold and I can't spend it lol hopefully gamble comes someday

[drowsy ingot]

Weaver tree is not easy

[waxen nymph]

Lightless Harbor ?

[austere frost]

That's very bad vlad

[waxen nymph]

Really ?

[austere frost]

Yeah

[waxen nymph]

Even for rune and such ?

[gritty idol]

ok finally got the damn belt? 0LP should I feed it to a nemesis?

[waxen nymph]

I mean,you cant do anything else with your gold atm

[waxen nymph]

Always

Its not even a question

[austere frost]

Rampant coast or troves is far better for havoc and such

[waxen nymph]

But that doesnt consume gold

[austere frost]

Yeah but its far more useful

[drowsy ingot]

But if nemesis put on it affix instead if LP, can be undone with turtle or it’s gone?

[waxen nymph]

I mean you do a t4 run, sink 50 millions, take what ever you get and its done

[austere frost]

I spent a couple mill and got crap so will keep my gold

[waxen nymph]

Its a risk, but if you dont nem it you get nothing

Its not like there is smth better to do

[drowsy ingot]

True

[austere frost]

I ain't wasting time on that dungeon I am sure ehg can find a good activity for gold later on as a cof player with max tabs

[waxen nymph]

In their head,, its lightless
Sorry to tell you that ^^

[austere frost]

Haha

[drowsy ingot]

About imprint in the weaver tree, maxroll guide is still reliable?

Im not really clear on which items I should be using so any advice is welcome

[turbid dome]

Yes

Never slam in T1

[hybrid crown]

Nice, good build 🫡

[bold mulch]

Is lightless that bad? Is because of the imprints?

[austere frost]

In 1.0 lighless was fine people were selling items for billions so you can afford to waste gold and time on that ,nowdays I rather be doing group play troves or mapping on my own doing prophecy etc than wasting time on that

The boss is also annoying to farm not like soulfire dungeon boss or julra you pop out he dies in seconds can farm a ton like that

[turbid dome]

dungeons have just kinda been outpaced by the weaver tree

like lightless is still good as a big ol goldsink for CoF

[bold mulch]

Corruption and the Weaver tree should influence lightless arbor them

[iron basin]

I would love to get some weaver tree interaction with dungeons beyond the key drops

Or the enemies that sometimes drop uniques from the dungeons

Charms are a cool concept they could revisit too. I think realistically they're gonna rework the dungeons entirely before they add more layers of interaction though

[turbid dome]

tbh I could see a system where you get a woven version of a dungeon

and place it like woven echos

let them be earnable by beating the regular dungeon

[alpine canopy]

Maybe unlockable by beating the regular T4 dungeon, no way am I going to run them if it's like uber Abby style

[turbid dome]

Uber Julra

[iron basin]

we've already got one uber snake
