🔱┃sentinel

[oak ferry]

im not taking it off till lvl 80 prob

[clever wave]

What's strongest build this seasonf for this clas?

[icy jay]

Idk

[wooden mountain]

unless ppl find something new then probably warpath VK

[faint trellis]

I didn’t see the vengeance bleed build on the max roll tier list. Is it a strong build and can I level as it?

[vestal mirage]

dread said it was comfy all the way to 1k corr when he did it, but it's prob not gonna be as op as warpath vk

should be a perfectly fine build tho

dread made a whole video about it last league iirc

[tough breach]

is there a realiable way to regen mana as warpath sentinel early on?

[icy jay]

Y, taking nodes that reduce wp mana cost

[soft mason]

Still love my Erasing Strike VK. Just run up bonk bonk bonk em and run away.
Gonna have to make a Warpath VK this season after I mess around with Multistrike Smite. Seen so much hype around it even with the Warriors Fury nerf in place

[oblique flame]

What do u think guys? warpath still one of the best?

[late dust]

I feel like the warpath movement node is bugged -- I took all 3 for testing and I move the same speed as walking

[gusty abyss]

warpath has 20% less by default

[austere frost]

You should actually be faster while walking than when using warpath since it lowers your movement speed

[wooden monolith]

jellal did you test troves ?

[austere frost]

They are godawful in general haven't dropped one imprint what about you

I also corrupted a decent amount of stuff and my biggest win so far is getting like mad roll on 5 mana idols and a leonine 😅 so ysah not great so far

My 25 2 lp julra rings didn't do anything since like 70% of those just failed the slams 🥲

[wooden monolith]

i killed UA to test the new warpath (nothing changed) then stopped, the imprint change killed my motivation to play this game

[austere frost]

So whatever passed didn't do anything 🤣

[austere frost]

My buddy went from likr 80 seconds from start echo to finish to 2 minutes he stopped after corrupting multiple 2 lps gear like shattered worlds

[wooden monolith]

ther fight was a bit longer, ya but maybe UA has been up ?

[austere frost]

Problem is lazare if julra guarantees slam then corruption is way better cause at least you have more oods having 13 2 lp shattered worlds and only 4 actually pass julra is really bad ,cause then you have 4 chances and he got nothing from that,so he gotta go grind uber 900 more times like nah

[uneven gorge]

Same. No new uniques that really interest me, and grinding for gear is now only more annoying. No real real reason to play

[austere frost]

Uber is same just nerfs to warpath so you gotta go get upgrades to corruption

I am gonna give it a go today tomorrow but so far its like 1 week league maybe 2 and just leave basically feeling which is a shame

My buddy debris did get insane upgrades though very jealous of him rofl

[wooden monolith]

i can t upgrade my gear so, i have no reason to play. i didn t play D4 yet, waiting for the new expansion to try it

[austere frost]

Also the new omen guys seems like a lot of waste time like its kill mobs fill bar then can kill invulnerable enemy so basically clearing its gonna be a lot slower

[austere frost]

Poe 2 coming soon I ll see you there

[wooden monolith]

ya, i need to test poe2 too

waiting for 1.0

[austere frost]

Its good a lot more deterministic and they getting a lot better with the updates

Oh I got a t6 on my only 2 lp julra slammed ring that got any corruption on it you know what it was?

[daring lion]

Does +X melee damage while wielding a sword prefix work on Manifest Armour?

[austere frost]

Stun avoidance

[winged pulsar]

Any steam deck players?

[wooden monolith]

lol

[austere frost]

Meanwhile debris rocking t7 strength corr and t7 dex corr

[wooden monolith]

no steam deck but playing with controller

[waxen nymph]

No

[wooden monolith]

see you in D4 or poe2 then

[daring lion]

So why would the Forge Weapon build by PixelAptitude be featured by Last Epoch people? He picks that affix

Just bad info overlooked?

[urban phoenix]

How's everyone doing so far? Had to run some errands.

[frail moat]

Played rouge a bit, i know its early but already wanna play sentinel and just warpath to endgame 😄

[alpine canopy]

They don't validate that every featured build is 100% perfect/optimized

[orchid flint]

got this for vk leveling

[mental flare]

how do i report bugs? tp mtx not working

[gusty abyss]

success portal can also be set, you have to set it if you want it to be the same

its the smaller portal on the portal mtx slot

[mental flare]

ohh ok, weird

fixed, ty

[echo mango]

Any paladin support build this league?

[silk wasp]

Apathy seems good so far

[alpine sage]

hmm, is it worth converting strength to brutality for shield bash and forge strike forge guard?

the build stacks like 200+ str

and you lose 0.5% health leech per point

so if you use it your health leech will be zero right?

since I understand reduce as additive

[manic cradle]

my favourite timerot vk craft since the launch 🙂

(legacy)

[urban phoenix]

Damn, greater windows seem a bit overtuned

[vestal mirage]

in terms of difficulty?

or are the drops that crazy

[urban phoenix]

My build is pretty bad rn, but just get swarmed so hard.

[waxen nymph]

And the corruption hit

beauty

[scarlet thistle]

Why does my Healing Hands have a cooldown of 9.5s but the node for movement says 6s?

[vestal mirage]

hmmmmm

corrupted on t7 necro lol

is it just me or do rift beasts do a billion damage with that ground aoe

[alpine sage]

anyone?

[quiet hearth]

well this is...different

[urban phoenix]

they put a limit

sad

[austere frost]

Not sure i personally dont think giving up armor and leech is worth the more damage you can get so

[manic cradle]

i corrupted 15 swords like this... this one was among the weakest... but yes, im glad 🙂

[austere frost]

Overall if your clear is slow you are going to struggle in the omens faster you clear mobs faster the omen guy dies,in the harder echoes you can get swarmed pretty fast and they have a ton of damage

[urban phoenix]

Definitely felt that.

[austere frost]

Specially once you do like a chain of champion omen echoes or the special ones you can buy ,like be ready cause you can die rather easy

[urban phoenix]

Any bleed multistrike builds? XD

[quiet hearth]

I swear they buffed rift beasts

[austere frost]

As in droprates?

If so I think yes

At least you can get a lot more ways to have them spawn more so more loot ,like the echo chain rift beast

[alpine sage]

well I guess it's time to remove the shield then

you still get the 20% more damage without giving up leech

[austere frost]

Was looking into aura you can get easily over 9k mana with offline gear how long you think uber will die to that level of gear

[alpine sage]

4k mana requires 1 min with offline gears

so 30 sec I guess?

btw has the staff been buffed

[austere frost]

Probably yeah

[alpine sage]

did not check that

[austere frost]

Xylem yes

[alpine sage]

9k mana is crazy

[austere frost]

Omega buffed

6 mana and health per Attunment

[alpine sage]

So I think with online gear it needs 1 min 15s

[austere frost]

You also get increase mana on plenty of gear and the staff corruption you take the increase mana 18% and another 2 mana per attunment

[alpine sage]

with such amount of mana

[austere frost]

So its like 10 mana per point of attunment counting the flat you already get

[alpine sage]

damn now I'm at work and I will focus on necro first

[austere frost]

Online I can get to 5k mana maybe a bit more

[alpine sage]

will try aura pally later

[alpine sage]

combine of mana, healing effectiveness and increase dot

[austere frost]

Yeah

[alpine sage]

maybe 1 min is reasonable vs uber abby

[austere frost]

Ele dot on weapon and amulet

Attunment t7 becomes a lot stronger than getting t7 flat mana every where

[quiet hearth]

no as in their stats, they feel tougher and hit harder than I feel they used to

[alpine sage]

one of the few builds I tried without relying on maxroll turned out to be good :)))

[austere frost]

All mobs do more damage now in the patchnotes

[alpine sage]

but still relied on youtube videos

[austere frost]

Not sure if it applies to beasts but they buffed their damage so it can feel quite hard sometimes

[quiet hearth]

Everything else feels spot on, the rift beasts be swinging,which is fine but definitely catching me off guard. Granted Im not playing a sent so Im probobly just squishier than usual.

[alpine sage]

next is shaman

in 1.3 I used dual wield avalanche shaman with the primodial set ring

[austere frost]

I tried on lich and I get taken out of lich form a lot more often now with all the omens stuff

[alpine sage]

now I wonder if I should change to spirit xylem

[quiet hearth]

yeah Im playing exploding zombies with shards and my damage is fine but I get oomed

[alpine sage]

@austere frost btw how is mana flay lich now?

any improved time on uber?

[austere frost]

I dont play the class but you can get even more attunment on shaman

[austere frost]

Yes is stronger idols alone is bonkers

[quiet hearth]

I got a freaking carver before I got a dreamthorn out of ascend runes XD

[austere frost]

You can get beast corruption at beginning of campaign ez leveling 😅

[alpine sage]

@austere frost tbh need to try aura paladin after necro

30 sec uber is too crazy

that is almost equal to bear in ss 3. Or maybe the actual time is 10-15 more sec than so

[austere frost]

You waiting on phases I am sure more than anything with that amount of damage

[alpine sage]

yeah

it might require 10-15 more sec

due to phase waiting time

[austere frost]

Like i did offline build up but no seals t7 and that stuff you can do so actually its more than 9k mana you pushing way over 10k

[alpine sage]

anyway I just know that it would take less than 1 min now

last time was just 4k mana

and its damage is top A tier already

[austere frost]

Gear was attun t7 and mana % t7 so you put seal mana flat t7 and it starts getting silly

[alpine sage]

yeah

but this is the case on focus on prefix gear only

[austere frost]

Yeah pretty much

[alpine sage]

you can just focus on high tier prefixes to deal insane damage

which is reasonable

[austere frost]

Still not squishy at all plenty of health and I like getting some health regen since I am going heavy on attunment stacking

[alpine sage]

the only unreasonable damage thing I tried is hydra build

[alpine sage]

and is it tanky according to you?

for me its tankiness is just behind the shield version

I love that build

lazy+huge damage

[austere frost]

Yeah like online its easy 6k health and like 1.2 to like almost 2k regen

[alpine sage]

just a less aoe version of reflect

but it has paladin identity

[austere frost]

You can get a corruption on relic that gives 1 flat health per Attunment so thats very good

[alpine sage]

so good luck with the build

i will try necro first

[austere frost]

You too

[alpine sage]

i want HS mage since now they have more multiplier

but not sure if their damage is better than wraith

just too bad forged weapon FG still does not have any improvement

[austere frost]

Skeletal mages got big buffed so I think maybe it can ve very strong endgame vs uber

[quiet hearth]

anyone tried out Volcanus yet?

[alpine sage]

idk what build to use it?

[quiet hearth]

Im just wondering if the shards autoaim is better

[alpine sage]

we don't have good fire melee sentinel builds to begin with

[quiet hearth]

That isnt remotely true

[high aspen]

Anything new and exciting with sentinels? I played them for early access and 1.0

[quiet hearth]

AE got a buff

[upbeat pagoda]

Erasing strike is still s tier?… didn’t they nerf void well which is what the whole build evolved around

[burnt willow]

any one that can explain perfect riposte in the talent tree (its about no crit) just got confused, thanks!

[urban phoenix]

Rough armour corrupt XD

Yet to see a set piece not brick into a different base.

I wonder if the interesting corrupts are even possible.

[mental flare]

any way to remove the pools of the vision of the observer or the battle is just that shit?

[manic cradle]

same, Im also corrupting this set and i feel hopeless

tho, i got the helmet to reroll affixes to the max

[burnt willow]

hey all , perfect riposte in the talent tree (means i dont get critically hit?) or that my riposte attack never crits? so the goal is that my crit increases overall but never on riposte?

[urban phoenix]

It means that hits that you take, that you riposte, can't crit you.

[burnt willow]

that's awesome then thanks ❤️ !!!

[clever wave]

rive vk isn't good?

[austere frost]

It got smacked hard you can play an inferior version if you want this league

[clever wave]

so warpath is the best for vk?

[austere frost]

That and erasing strike

[clever wave]

isn't orbs good?

or auto bomber?

not sure what it's called.

[austere frost]

Smite vk is strong,autobomber style is good,like I would just go devouring orb smite vk ,is kinda autobomber since you walk and devouring gets cast automatically and kills all trash mobs

While you smite any strong enemy

[clever wave]

hm. is it easy to swap in endgame?

[austere frost]

Between builds yeah respec costs gold but honestly you run gold blessing and you have a tons of gold before you know it

Can even swap mastery with some gold

[clever wave]

spin2w feelings like cheating when I play it. lol

and tired of s2w animation.

[vestal mirage]

I've been leveling with abyssal echoes and it's feeling better than I thought it would so far. Almost done with the campaign

curious to see how it feels when I get actual gear

[dense cedar]

cof or MG for vk warpath smite build?

[safe gust]

What

[dense cedar]

like is circle or merhcant guild better to get the items to get the build running

[tacit zealot]

cof or mg isnt build dependant. do you want to farm your own loot? then go cof. if you want gear quicker then MG

cof or MG is how YOU like to play and obtain gear not whats best for the build

[fringe barn]

you have no idea how much this stimulated the adhd

(yeah, I don't have a loot filter yet)

[turbid dome]

[vestal mirage]

I don't either lol

I really need to do that

[fringe barn]

Usually I just throw on some random sentinal filter and fill out what I need, then I end up just hiding all tier 6 and under, pick up every idol

but it seems like idols are dropping in insane amounts this season

[vestal mirage]

i need the void mana efficiency idols so bad

didnt even realize I already had one but it's min roll

[vestal mirage]

not bad for having bad starter gear

[noble heath]

looking for some help :/ playing a vk autobomber. i numlock trick anomaly be procced all the time. since yesterday it stays like 30 sec in lock and after that the skill is not procced and cant be cast manually. symbol of the skill is grey too. looking for some help.

[manic cradle]

@waxen nymph I theorycrafted a meme build, that you may like. 🙂

It's a Volcanic Orb, Forge Weapons, Shield Bash Forge Guard 🙂

[waxen nymph]

Volcanic Orb FG?

Please, someone put him in jail 😂

[manic cradle]

For movement speed boost 😄

Over 120% ms with 2h and shield 😄

[waxen nymph]

🚓

[manic cradle]

with reasonable 1lp gear (few slots 2), it has over 20.000 armor and 10000 block effectiveness while buffed 😄

and I think, close to 600 flat mele for shield bash 🙂

[waxen nymph]

Oo

[manic cradle]

and its almost crit capped with 450% crit multi

and this is before i equipped any Idol Alter 😄

oh, and it has over 1000% inc fire 😄

but... to make it possible, I need summon forged weapons on Lament of The Lost Refuge... could be even 0lp

shield bash attack speed scales with block chance, so we dont need it that much

[silk wasp]

That is cursed

[manic cradle]

maybe it could be done without the corruption, but then id have to also spec into vengeance

(which might be helpful anyway to recover mana)

actually, nvm... testing it now, and i cannot get over 5 stacks of heraldy... the orb is moving away to fast 🙁

[dense cedar]

probably MG then. if i can jsut buy items after farming enough gold

[tacit zealot]

there ya go then

[dense cedar]

warpath without the smite triggereing sword rly feels a lot weaker

[gusty abyss]

Wait untill you get the smite on throwing idols and decide to try ravager dart

[dense cedar]

but does taht even do anything for us?

[waxen nymph]

À lot of throwing hits while channeling

[gusty abyss]

ravager dart is a throwing attack

even without the rogues skill tree or any dex, it is basically up all the time

[dense cedar]

kk

its just the first league since i tried out sentinel that i neither got the void 2h or the smite sword

currently running warpath+erasing strike

i previously was a warlock main. but warpath vk was easier for my old bones

[dense cedar]

nvm the moment i unlocked devouring orb things got lot better

[gusty abyss]

yeah, dorb early on is really solid

[fiery pine]

how is abyssal echoes looking so far?

[grim kestrel]

what is best to rune of ascend first for vk warpath

[dense cedar]

i woulkd say probably the 1h sword?

but just my noob opinion^^

[dense cedar]

@gusty abyssbtw why did u take timerot nodes? i thought u go either direct dmg or dot?

[worn yacht]

can someone help me kill lagon

[gusty abyss]

Smite deals more damage against ignoted, but because we void convert it is against timerot instead. Having some timerot ensure that practically any smite hit, even the first, gets this bonus damage.

[dense cedar]

kk

[wintry kettle]

hi, is erasing strike still playable this season? i cant find anyone whos playing it or a updated guide

[orchid flint]

I’m leveling with erasing strike rive healing hands and it’s still good

[dense cedar]

@gusty abyss the worst is actualy not getting a better weapon...havin this for like 20 levels now and i feel it agaisnt elites/bosses it takes forever

[hollow spindle]

@dense cedar oof. i got lucky and found a dreamthorn early on. makes leveling super smooth especially if you plan on playing VK

[dense cedar]

yeah i either got this or the smite 1h early one usualy....not this time just BS in the nemesis

and I'm already here

[hollow spindle]

though I'm starting to realize that corruption is kinda like an alternate path for 0 LP items. So before, when we had 0 LP items it was either putting it in a nemesis egg and hoping for LP or for a good random affix. But now we can choose to corrupt them (but what I understand is you can corrupt on top of a slammed item too right?)

early game, corrupting an item is a no brainer since you are gonna go through different items, but late game Im wondering if corruption on an item before you slam or enchant it with a nemesis egg is the best play or not (for an immediate power boost)

[orchid flint]

The best thing to lvl a vk now is the corrupted affix +76 melee on an axe because with the rive node that doubles damage stats on weapon you get 152 flat

[hollow spindle]

yea but you dont control corruption

[astral kernel]

VK the most op rn?

[orchid flint]

Yep I got 2 to drop

and it’s insane

[astral kernel]

I saw a vk auto bomber build

[orchid flint]

rive hits for 6k

for single target while leveling is crazy

[astral kernel]

Oh ya

Which build yall going ?

Auto bomber?

[orchid flint]

erasing strike

but I don’t have world splitter so I only took 1 echo

And mana is sustainable

with void well

[dense cedar]

anyone with a lootfilter for smite warpath vk?

[hollow spindle]

there's a generic loot filter I can share (raxx's)

[astral kernel]

Try looking on Maxroll

Or Google

[dense cedar]

i did both. they only ahve full spell or full melee

[orchid flint]

Yeah because you either scale melee or spell damage.

[orchid flint]

they don’t have a lot of hybrid stuff on there

This goes crazy for leveling

[alpine sage]

@manic cradle hmm

pyramidal altar only allows 2 weaver idols

so you cannot have more than 30 spell damage from idol for lava forge guard

[silk wasp]

Heretical idols aren't weaver idols

[dense cedar]

ty. cause maybe i jsut missed a good weapon cause the maxroll leveling filter is for melees

[hollow spindle]

what are they then?

[silk wasp]

Heretical

[hollow spindle]

can you show an example?

[waxen nymph]

Weavers are the small 1x1 2x1 1x2

[gusty abyss]

heretical = enchanted

[hollow spindle]

ok so they are technically weaver idols, just the larger ones

[gusty abyss]

no, they are technically NOT weaver idols

[silk wasp]

They are not weaver idols

[hollow spindle]

i think people are using "weaver" as a colloquialism for the ones that are green tinted with webs

[silk wasp]

Which is wrong

[hollow spindle]

technically yes, but im not saying on a technical level they are right, just from an association point of view

[silk wasp]

The game differentiates between the two categories

[dusty elm]

I'm doing ES but don't have World Splitter. What alternatives can I use? Any other uniques or just exhalted?

[dense cedar]

does this even work with the auto triggered abyssal echo?

[oak kite]

is this like pretty good for forged weapons?

[misty junco]

"Directly"

Nope

At least it shouldn't

[gusty abyss]

Yes it does, strangly

even the node that causes dorb to proc rifts works

[misty junco]

My bad

Logically it would make sense for it not to work lol

[waxen nymph]

You are correct

But its been like that for so long ^^

[gusty abyss]

yep and then you try it, see that it works and just roll with it

[dense cedar]

oh nice.

btw sky do u have a lootfilter for your build? @gusty abyss

[gusty abyss]

I selfmade messy one

Your probably better off just letting LE tools generate one for you

[scarlet thistle]

Double attunement chest-piece is kinda nice

[dense cedar]

oh they can do that?

[turbid dome]

Yea

[turbid dome]

Import your character and the build planner has a filter button

[urban phoenix]

Anyone seen the new corrupted affixes on a non-crafted set piece yet? Still haven't been able to get one.

Starting to think it's not possible.

[dense cedar]

yeah found it and the dmg got a lot better the moment i started using spelldmg weapons and not the form the old filter given melee weapon

[gusty abyss]

that makes sense 😄

[quiet hearth]

Dont be like be and think your builds damage is bad when you are still using the same weapon from lvl 7 and you are lvl 40

[misty junco]

lol

[astral kernel]

Anyone playing vk auto bomber,?

What’s better VK ES or vk auto bomb??

[peak zodiac]

every time i've seen someone play "vk autobomber" it just seems like a worse version of selfcast smite which is already like B tier so ES

[lethal needle]

Dang

[quiet hearth]

good gods that is good

[sharp osprey]

I just got the max roll all modifiers corrupt on this.

[quiet hearth]

I keep forgetting to even slap corrption on things

[sharp osprey]

honestly it's so good.

[quiet hearth]

well, not the worst thing I could have gotten I guess

[silk wasp]

Could've bricked it

[astral kernel]

Did that drop holy shit

[lethal needle]

ye

[urban phoenix]

I hate that I've corrupted like 40 set pieces and still don't know if they can get the fancy corruptions, or if they only are able to get transformed or have mods rerolled.

[urban phoenix]

RIP, they can't.

[sharp osprey]

ithey can transform into reforged items

[urban phoenix]

Yeah, just gotta craft them into reforged, then corrupt... hopefully that works.

[sharp osprey]

I think that should work, but it's also one of the outcomes. Transforming into a reforged item or making all stats max rolled. Not sure if any others apply to sets tho

[vestal mirage]

Gm chat

Time to grind

[urban phoenix]

Would this affect ignite damage applied by shield throw?

Or only the hit.

[misty junco]

Is sentinel the tankiest class?

[potent oak]

Do you guys think the new Shield Throw can fork after the first Ricochet idle is gonna be any good? Thinking of testing it out but don't want to waste my time lol. Kind of bummed it says just the first Ricochet though.

[potent oak]

I believe only the hit

[vestal mirage]

if only the tiers were a bit higher

[potent oak]

I just read on a Reddit post that shield throw can bounce off of Ring of Shields so you can do better single-target damage. Does anyone know if that still works or if it works to begin with?

[urban phoenix]

Yeah, that works.

Need this node though

[potent oak]

Gotcha. Sweet, thank you. Do you think the new idol affix that says "shield throw can fork" is gonna be any good?

[opal ridge]

anyone want this? im currently selling on legacy for 11,500,000 but if anyone else has a more reasonable offer its yours

[urban phoenix]

You can get the % pretty high, and it's basically double DMG when it procs, so it's basically a %more multiplier for whatever % you get it to. Should be pretty solid.

[potent oak]

Alright I'm gonna give it a try. I played a little bit of shield throw last season from a maxroll guide and it was okay but I'm gonna try and do my own thing with it. Is forge guard the way to go for it? There's that affix that converts it to void damage. I'm wondering if that's any good? What do you think? Have you played it before?

[opal ridge]

cool thanks

[urban phoenix]

Haven't played it before, but I'm doing like.. a bit of a meme sunforged ignite version right now just testing it out. Still in the early stages though.

[cinder echo]

Is warpath smite paladin viable? Cant find a good build.. 🙁

But i like smite

[potent oak]

Haha okay well I guess I'll be testing a few

[potent oak]

I'm not sure about Warpath but I know Hammer Throw and Smite often go together

[urban phoenix]

Keep me posted for sure. I'm planning on trying Wildfire Embers later today, we will see how it goes.

[cinder echo]

Warpath has a note in skilltree to trigger smite

[gusty abyss]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/skyqula/character/roflcopter
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjmCRfpXn9w

[potent oak]

Then go for it my man!

You can always spec out of things if they don't work out

[cinder echo]

I play hardcore so I dont want to die if it isnt working 🤣

[cinder echo]

Thank you, will look at it

[gusty abyss]

I would not consider this hardcore viable

no block/dodge/parry kind of defense layer

[cinder echo]

Last season I got to 93 with warpath smite homebrew 🤣 but without big bosses

[vestal mirage]

@quiet hearth mana is already feeling decent. I invested 3 points into the mana efficiency nodes in AE and it feels miles better

only have 140 mana atm and don't have the mana efficiency idols yet

think this skill might pop off with good gear

[frank slate]

goodbye rogue, hello sentinel

[vestal mirage]

how has rogue been so far?

[frank slate]

pretty good

but i'm lazy

so

reflect we go

[quiet hearth]

I dont dont it, it's really strong mechanically and now that it has the numbers to back that up Im not surprised

[vestal mirage]

it's gonna go crazy i think

damn i just corrupted these boots and it made every single affix go to the max value

that's kinda sick

yo i need that

min roll on basically everything tho xd

[safe igloo]

hey guys can someone help me^^ i want to play erasing strike but have someone a level build ? i am new

[vestal mirage]

hammers/warpath are usually the go to. hammers probably the fastest/strongest for leveling

there should be a sentinel leveling guide on maxroll

[cosmic dagger]

Hello

I changed from voidknight to Paladin in lv 20 bracket, but I just get voidknight gear instead of Paladin, is my Char scuffed now ?

Hello

I changed from voidknight to Paladin in lv 20 bracket, but I just get voidknight gear instead of Paladin, is my Char scuffed now ?

[quiet hearth]

yo what did they do to controller support? I switched over because my hand was hurting and now Im randomly bouncing around enemeies

[dense cedar]

is it worth doing the riftbeasts while leveling?

[quiet hearth]

oh yeah

[dense cedar]

oh i thought rift beasts only give materials to buy stuff but u need a lot of that amterials

[quiet hearth]

They also drop primal uniques and idols ect they can still drop regular loot, if you can do them do them, but it wont hurt you to not either

anyone in here playing WP?

[dense cedar]

me leveling warpath^^

[dense cedar]

kk.

btw since no one in MG answer the questioon multiple times...

is it true MG gets an gold exploit every season and thats when most ppl switch to cof?

[misty thistle]

Worth going unarmed Judgement at 46 with these?

[quiet hearth]

it's happened in the past, I wont say everytime.

[peak zodiac]

no exploits last season, this season tbd

[dense cedar]

ah kk. since i was planing going MG and didn't wanted to do it if an exploit is very likely to happen...

[quiet hearth]

The first time was bad, the last didnt matter all that much because they tracked the exploit and took the gold out of the market

Honestly they should just remove the gold cost and just make it all favor to prevent that in the first place.

[misty thistle]

ok, im one shotting everything now unarmed stacking attunement lol

[dense cedar]

kk

wow no palarus in the bazar yet?

[quiet hearth]

that would be odd, can you sell corrupted items? I ahvent even gottenthere yet

[dense cedar]

but palarus is not corrupted?

ah nvm found one

weird whens earching for broadsword it didn't appear

[dense cedar]

u can actualy sell corrupted items

[quiet hearth]

I figured

[dense cedar]

well tmr then its 10PM

[vestal mirage]

finally got a loot filter setup and turned 4 tabs of idols into 0.5 tabs of idols

xd

[quiet hearth]

man that is the first thing I do

[vestal mirage]

played without one until emp monos which was probably a bad idea

[faint trellis]

@dense cedar how does leveling as warpath feel?

[vestal mirage]

felt fine when I did it last season so I'd assume it's still fine

[dense cedar]

good if u aiN't dumb like me and using the wrong filter

just be carefull getting spell dmg weapons and gear after switching to warpath triggering smite/devouring orb

but be prepared to be squishy for a bit

[cosmic dagger]

Hello

I changed from voidknight to Paladin in lv 20 bracket, but I just get voidknight gear instead of Paladin, is my Char scuffed now ?

[quiet hearth]

No, all you gotta do is change your filter if you are using one, you can gamble for items too if you need

you know, I cant be mad at this, useful for leveling

[vestal mirage]

hey draven, I still want armor shred on hit based AE right?

[quiet hearth]

yeah, at least a little, it doesnt scale that well but its still more damage. I forget the breaking point

[vestal mirage]

I'm already getting up to 100+ stacks and all I have is 1 affix on my amulet and a little in the skill tree

stacking AE goes kinda crazy

[quiet hearth]

nemmy let me down but that corrupt

[gusty abyss]

100 attunement => 50 melee damage => 5! spell damage 😄

[alpine canopy]

0 spell damage 😔

It only counts the +22 on the implicit

[gusty abyss]

sadge 🙁

[vestal mirage]

think I'm finally ready to blast after like an hour of setting my filter up exactly how I want it

the t2 corrupted zones are a bit spooky huh

[oblique niche]

What build are you guys playing this season?

[vestal mirage]

abyssal echoes crit

gonna be a while until i get to the crit part tho

[oblique niche]

have you got to empowered rifts yet?

[vestal mirage]

yeah

[oblique niche]

havent been able to find any updated guides for season yet

did much change for Echoes?

[vestal mirage]

they changed this from 20 to 60 and made it go from 100% effectiveness to 300%

[oblique niche]

Wow

[vestal mirage]

decent for being in bad gear

[oblique niche]

did you level as echoes?

[vestal mirage]

I did. It doesn't start feeling good until the end of campaign

smite was my crutch for a while

[oblique niche]

Just starting my Sentinel but have this from my Necro haha

[wicked monolith]

is disintegrating aura VK any good these days?

[winged pulsar]

Does convenant of light passive tree paladin skill get benefits for the passive nodes in holy aura and sigils or only benefits to the base skill passive?

[orchid flint]

this season mg is super stable

the prices are very low

[vestal mirage]

that's good to hear

[orchid flint]

like super low

shockingly i was surpised

[urban phoenix]

Wish this had some more affixes... almost cool.

[keen bobcat]

Any viable builds that use lightening

Im tryna shock from the heavens

[urban phoenix]

I wish shield bash's cooldown wasn't so ridiculous.

Would actually be fun to build around

[vestal mirage]

you can make it have 0 cd

[urban phoenix]

Yeah i know, but all the cool stuff is locked behind it having a cd

all the good multi

[vestal mirage]

ah

i did the 0 cd bash a few seasons ago and almost got it strong enough to killuber

just didnt have enough damage

[wild crown]

with what do you lvl up voidknight?

warpath ?

[vestal mirage]

hammers/jav/warpath are the usual. lots of options

[wild crown]

as i do no dmg with warpath rn

[orchid flint]

nemesis pog came in clutch

[vestal mirage]

nooooooooooooooo I'm an idiot

I forgot to discovery first

😭

[quick heath]

Can you scale warpath endlessly or will it eventually fall off?

[soft mason]

it scales up for 10 seconds, caps the per-second cost and size etc, but with a big enough mana pool and void well (or possibly with faster devouring orb casts/expiriation) you can spin forever

used to scale endlessly, getting greater and also more expensive forever, eventually it would get too costly

[vestal mirage]

still using 3 rares at lvl 83

[quiet hearth]

I forgot divine bolt on skill was even a thing

maybe I should do Vengeance instead

Or Rive because I plan on using Volcanus with this, because the answer is almost always Rive

[vestal mirage]

so I think I'm an idiot

[quiet hearth]

welcome to my world

[vestal mirage]

for some reason I thought "reforge" on idols was just like changing the value on it

didn't realize it changed the entire thing

oops

goodbye mana efficiency idol

AE is down to 21 mana tho. not bad

[urban phoenix]

What corruption are you running?

[vestal mirage]

only at 130 atm

[urban phoenix]

Gotcha, I just hit 83, just about to start bumping it from 100, finally got my build semi useable lol

[vestal mirage]

nice nice

my build is feeling decent too. haven't died in a long time

[urban phoenix]

Yeah, I'm definitely not winning any clear speed awards, but I feel tanky for sure.

sitting at about 1300 life, 1200 ward

[vestal mirage]

nice

what build

[urban phoenix]

XD

Sunforged ignite shield throw

[vestal mirage]

holy gigachad

[urban phoenix]

This was a huge boost though

Just need a better one now

[vestal mirage]

hell yeah

[silk wasp]

ngl the improved FS visuals are pretty sick

Sound still sucks tho

[night portal]

does iron blades stats effect forged weapons? like i took Weaponsmith's Reprisal so would something like vital puncture effect iron blades?

[urban phoenix]

Nope.

[night portal]

alright thanks

[clever wave]

Anyone have a s4 warpath vk build or erasing strike?

[vapid mason]

was judgement nerfed a while back? it no longer can be casted twice?

[vestal mirage]

this map is like a flashbang holy

[urban phoenix]

https://tenor.com/view/blinding-light-jerry-smith-rick-and-morty-too-bright-adult-swim-gif-9951096662630262377

[vestal mirage]

actually tho

[paper kettle]

for leveling is better paladin or VK? Im planning VK but dont mind respecing

[vestal mirage]

both are good. you can't really go wrong choosing either of them

depends on what you're wanting to do tho

[polar spire]

anyone else tried smite descend?

i always use smite for traversal, but it doesn't seem to work while moving this league

at least shield rush spam works again

[vestal mirage]

big sword

[chilly vapor]

is volatile reversal bugged?

cause the recast tooltip says "within 3 seconds" but the recast, at the moment, seems permanent

legit ran the whole map with the recast still on my hotbar

[urban phoenix]

Not bad.

[vestal mirage]

man i need that

[quiet hearth]

now this is just a terrible mechanic, just erase the item instead of this

[young lynx]

Regret is part of the cost

[quiet hearth]

Yeah no, turn it into a rare thats corrupted, a different item etc, dont just make a completely unusable item that I have to manually do something with

[scarlet thistle]

People would probably think the game bugged out

[quiet hearth]

I could see it for sets if you could at least shatter it for some set shards

[austere frost]

Yeah ruined sucks

[vestal mirage]

wait it just puts a "cannot be equipped" tag on it?

why is that even a thing

[quiet hearth]

yep

[austere frost]

You look at item and are likr wait what changed and then you see cannot be equipped 🤣

[quiet hearth]

Like Im all for scrwed items but dont make me do your dirty work afterwards

[vestal mirage]

greater rifts or whatever you want to call them on 300 corruption are a bit monkas

[quiet hearth]

I wish you could get divine bolts from more places

I didnt know this could happen as a result

[vestal mirage]

lol

[mellow pagoda]

Yea they should just poof the item

[vestal mirage]

I should have seen "pinnacle" before I put it down

[quiet hearth]

oops

[vestal mirage]

i like the chains but there's almost TOO many

I just want to get to the dang shade man

[quiet hearth]

sometimes you just need a really big stick

[vestal mirage]

that's a nice stick

I'm still rocking this bad boy

[quiet hearth]

the best corrupt I had was on a freaking bow

[vestal mirage]

lol

[vestal mirage]

that's a sick corrupt

[quiet hearth]

So once I get bored with this build I gotta go do that nonsense, now I just need the mage quiver

[vestal mirage]

that's a lot of chains

[quiet hearth]

goingonanadventure.mp4

[twilit quail]

ssf I said 10 times this week I will not do hammers and this is what I am greeted with

[quiet hearth]

areyousureaboutthat.gif

[vestal mirage]

we all go back to hammers eventually

[quiet hearth]

I was doing aco and dropped all the leveling gear and the end game weapon and was like well I guess I go play pally now

[vestal mirage]

ofc it's +3

[quiet hearth]

I mean, it could be WAY worse

[vestal mirage]

true

[twilit quail]

my first +3 this league it missed the right suffix but we take those

[vestal mirage]

that's a nice 3lp to get early

[quiet hearth]

uh, ok game

[twilit quail]

I wanted the melee damage and %more melee on that before :(

[vestal mirage]

What's the play for farming omni staves then? Just spamming unique 2h staff prophecies?

[upbeat pagoda]

Are yall bonk mains or spin to win?

[vestal mirage]

Neither

Caster

[granite forge]

if i dont have forge strike on my hotbar do the forged weapons still gain the passives from the tree? (im generating them with warpath)

[waxen nymph]

Yes

[granite forge]

awesome thank you!

[vestal mirage]

normal abby dead

longest normal abby kill i've ever done I think lol

[frigid zenith]

peeps did they ever fix the bug with devouring orb hits not applying on-hit debuffs other than on first hit? (with the orbiting thing)

[quick heath]

hey team, i just finished all the campaign and im looking to transition from judgement into warpath VK, im on solo acc found + CoF.

do i need specific unique to get going or can i respec now?

[vapid mason]

Judgement was nerfed a while back correct? No longer casts twice?

[oblique flame]

Heyho guys! Can anyone please help me with sentinel leveling?

[vale ravine]

I dunno if it's a bug but if you take the "80 damage on collision" point it works

[frigid zenith]

back then the damage works but it only applied debuffs once instead of every time it hits

[vestal mirage]

looks kinda trippy with so much AE stacked on top of each other

[silk wasp]

Wubwubwubwub

[vestal mirage]

do I just send 2h staff prophecies now or wait to do the omni hunt later

idk if it's worth dropping currency into that when I'm only t9 cof

[twilit quail]

anyone seen this? doesn't show up after removing the filter turning it off and on any everything I am being gastlit

[dense cedar]

@gusty abyssis it normal that u feel so squishy after the skeletton emperor arc? am in the snake area now and feels like even a piece of paper would kill me

[white cosmos]

Had the same issue since season start

Still not sure if I dropped 5 red rings or nothing 🤔

[dense cedar]

bro...now after like 60 levels

[molten grotto]

quick questions for multistrike from sentinal, having idols giving additional % sword chances ... can that chance be over 100% and still give an additional sword?

[gusty abyss]

early stages can be a bit squishy, getting some vit works though. Helps with resists life and even gives flat for smite

[misty junco]

I'm leveling as javelin rn

How do I scale up the damage properly

[misty junco]

Is there a better leveling build?

[lament fox]

why symbols of hope doesnt generate anymore passive? but they need now to be in spellbar, did they changed it or what? xd

[lament fox]

judgment aura is kinda broken

[gusty abyss]

since 1.2, yeah

[misty junco]

I'm gonna have to get judgement I guess

[lament fox]

mate yesterday i didnt had symbols on bar and still generated it

on 1,3 patch playing as vk same thing, passive generaton without need to symbols be on spellbar

[radiant tangle]

HC Thorns Build Sentinel!!! HEHEHE....

Twas fun, but now for sleep...

[dense cedar]

gonna be interessting to see if VK gonna be the "strongest" build this season. since i saw lots of ppl saying warlock and rogue gonna be fighting for "#1 "

[buoyant ginkgo]

Why is Healing Hands traversal CD 9.5 sec instead of 6 ?

[gusty abyss]

Wait what, it indeed is o-O

[silk wasp]

...that explains why it felt longer than normal

I thought my sense of time was just ruined

[buoyant ginkgo]

♿

[wild crown]

question: Can you send me a planner for warpath voidknight? And can i play it without the world splitter? as i do not have it yet

[quick heath]

apparnerly you can but i switched and am having a lot f trouble

[safe oasis]

...am i wrong in thinking int to madness is actually really good for some sentinal build?

[royal ice]

boa tarde rapaziada

[digital night]

What if i dont have 3 strike because of node (in second picture)

I thought every node should work with every other node.

Or maybe in this situation this will be work like every 3 hit?

[south zephyr]

Nope if you have both then the 'buffs third strike' node does absolutely nothing

[scarlet thistle]

I was complaining about this the other day. I recommend just reporting it in game as a bug. 9.5s is unbearable for a traversal skill.

There's been a few movement skills that seemed off this season

[lament fox]

do i need to complete campaign or not?

wtf is this btw xd

[silk wasp]

Completing chapter 9 or 10 gives 1 knowledge

Same as finishing 5 of the 7 listed monoliths

[lament fox]

kk ty for info 🫡

[misty junco]

What's up with these disconnections.;..

Every 30 mins

[river slate]

Yo guys, first time playing LE, im doing a paladin, is there a place that I can learn the game basics and stuff to have a nice and clean level up?

[blissful kettle]

Maxroll offers leveling guides and information about most game mechanics

[misty junco]

I'm leveling, should I go for Judgement aura immediately

Is it that good? or should I just follow the guide?

I guess I'll try either

[scarlet thistle]

I'm playing a Judgement Aura + Smite setup. I wound up taking Judgement aura when it was available. It's pretty good even before you get to mana stacking stuff.

[true herald]

yo, does anyone have a bleed warpath paladin w/ carrion of creation i could look at?

[misty junco]

I found the aura pretty slow on bosses so I switched to the normal one

I'm just 45 rn

[orchid flint]

If you’re in the campaign you can try thing it’s generally easy. Once you get to empowered you’ll know if it’s good

[misty junco]

I think Aura could have an issue with ST boss damage

But maybe I'm wrong

Is there something to offset that

[scarlet thistle]

When you stack enough mana it doesn't really matter. At even 1k Mana it just melts most things.

but it'll be slow until then

[misty junco]

Why mana?

I think there was a mana mode but I forgot what it does

[misty junco]

Okay

[naive solstice]

Anyone here played the Xylem Smite Paladin build on Maxroll?

[misty junco]

What affixes do you want?

I assume mana and maybe healing effectiveness?

[scarlet thistle]

There's a node that consumes a percent of current mana for a more damage multiplier. It has no cap, so you scale mana for a lot of damage

[wooden monolith]

Attunement/%mana you want

[lethal needle]

Holy

[scarlet thistle]

I'm playing a Xylem Smite build. Not the maxroll one. It was good last season, better this season

[scarlet thistle]

Attunement, increased mana, healing effect, area are all good. Elemental DoT is also good. Healing Effect will get you fire pen with the Paladin passive too

[misty junco]

Would it make sense to start playing this while still in campaign?

[formal anchor]

(VK Warpath) I m assuming equipping this converts bleed chance to time rot chance, but do i also get the dmg% increase for having time rot or is this kinda wasted?

[scarlet thistle]

The Maxroll guide uses Vengeance, which feels bad for leveling. My build uses Fissure Smite and it levels smoothly and the DoT stuff all lines up nicely.

I think the Maxroll Judgement Aura build is mostly just end-game and not leveling

[misty junco]

Can I see your build if you have it set up?

[scarlet thistle]

You want current or my wildly aspirational plans?

[misty junco]

Current I guess lol

Thanks btw

[scarlet thistle]

Current build: https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/daikaze/character/PatchesTheFourth

[naive solstice]

I anticipated you may be as your comments appear regularly if you search Smite in this channel. I did exactly that when deciding my build.

My question is basically how do you manage to activate and maintain your buffs(Holy Aura and Javelin if you're using both for example) if you're constantly at negative mana? Between Harbinger and Tundra I never have mana to use them unless I actually wait to replenish. That's not an issue now, it will be as I progress more though.

[scarlet thistle]

I don't spend time at negative mana. I'm generally running at 50% mana with my setup, but I'll burn it down for bosses, but the mana on smite affix and the Sent passive keeps me from going negative on Smite

I also skip the Tundra, it'd be nice if I wanted to go negative though.

[naive solstice]

That's an option I considered, also experimenting not using Harbinger or Tundra(As you're doing) along with a mana burner. Tundra is by far the biggest contributor to being constantly negative mana as evading regularly eats through the mana pool. At this point my mana pool is very low though compared to what it should be at, that's likely a big contributor to being negative mana all the time. Time to do some upgrading lol.

Thank you, I greatly appreciate all the information. If you don't mind could you link your Xylem setup if possible?

[scarlet thistle]

[crude matrix]

Paladin, Level 100

Game Version:

Season 4: Shattered Omens / 1.4

Class:

Sentinel (20) / Void Knight (5) / Paladin (88)

General:

▸ Health: 5,017, Regen: 0/s
▸ Mana: 4,163.57, Regen: 20.56/s
▸ Ward Retention: 36%, Regen: 0/s
▸ Attributes: 28 Str / 18 Dex / 18 Int / 187 Att / 19 Vit
▸ Resistances: 138% / 76% / 116% / 72% / 142% / 120% / 71%

Defenses:

▸ Endurance: 70%, Threshold: 2,298
▸ Dodge Chance: 4% (98)
▸ Armor Mitigation: 64% (4,999)

Used skills:

Javelin / Symbols of Hope / Smite / Judgement / Volatile Reversal

[scarlet thistle]

Double Jump Volatile Reversal is great movement tech... especially since Healing Hands is bugged with a 9.5s cooldown and really doesnt contribute enough at higher levels. Also the "more dot" bonus is nice

[edgy gust]

Does judgement of the storm pasive work with something like "throwing crit multi" or does it have to be generic crit multi?

[wooden mountain]

generic IIRC

I think usually you use T7 crit multi (160% highroll) on a spear for scaling that node

[naive solstice]

Thank you, I greatly appreciate it! I'm not on my computer currently, I'll be checking out both setups fully later when I am. Skimming both quickly they look superb, it's also interesting to see a different setup. Definitely will be saving both for future ideas.

Seeing as you're Fire DoT have you played Crit/Lightning Xylem Smite as well and if so why do you prefer Fire DoT? From skimming I'd assume the clear speed is likely better with Fissures. Thanks for the information on Double Jump, I'll definitely experiment with it as Healing Hands movement is far from ideal for myself.

[scarlet thistle]

Fissure Smite is great clear. Judgement Aura takes over once you have enough mana and then you just run through monos and smite bosses.

I haven't done Lightning Smite with Xylem, dabbled a bit with it back in 1.2 tho. The fire DoT stuff just works well with Judgement. I'm stacking healing effect so I get more pen from the Paladin passive (Righteous Firebrand) compared to what Devotions gives. Also, Hands of Judgement is nice and drops with 2LP often enough.

If smite was my main clear skill, then lightning would be better.

[edgy gust]

Damn, ok.
Was thinking about making a lightning javelin that ran with trusight glass but that might not work then xD

[wooden mountain]

yeah that won't get you an extra 300% multi for electrify

[naive solstice]

Sounds like an intriguing setup which I may need to build towards specifically for relaxed mono blasting. Hands of Judgement were already on my radar as I used them on my Tornado Shaman back in 1.2 specifically for the Attunement, that amount is hard to pass up and I generally end up trading some defence for offence. As they say great minds think alike lol.

Have you cleared Uberroth with your setup by chance/is it feasible? Ultimately that's my goal, along with that I wanted to use a build that doesn't trivialize the fight through extreme damage. Uberroth released in 1.2, I cleared it on my Tornado Shaman after likely 400+ attempts with the fight taking 6-8 minutes likely, perfect beam stacking etc. At that point I was roughly the 15th Shaman to clear him. Last season I played Lightning Blast Runemaster which is the epitome of trivializing the fight(A nice change after the painful progression on my Tornado Shaman, ended up carrying 50+ players for their Uber drops). Now it's back to a build which won't trivialize him which I anticipate the Maxroll setup shouldn't have many issues doing(I anticipate it's a bit higher single target damage than Tornado Shaman).

[heavy shuttle]

If you have multiple of this effect, is the 10 per 2 seconds limit per idol or global?

[uneven gorge]

Global

[scarlet thistle]

It's definitely a good pick if you want relaxed monos. Once you get the crit reduction, it has enough healing going on to avoid dying to most things.

I wasn't able to clear Uber last season. I haven't learned the fight at all. It'll be doable this season though, the mana stacking is too good not to.

[naive solstice]

Best of luck clearing Uberroth if you attempt to do so again. My one suggestion is if the build you're playing takes 5+ minutes to clear learn how to stack beams as ultimately the last phase is the only difficult one once you understand the mechanics. Simply put stacking beams is imperative to make the last phase more manageable if damage is lacking.

Again thank you for all the information you've provided, you've been very helpful. Enjoy your weekend!

[urban phoenix]

Hmm, i wonder how a Tyrants Skull, Bee + Forged Weapons build would go, stack a bunch of strength with Cleaver solution for big flat phys damage + phys pen from the int.

I guess you wouldn't be able to dual wield Cleaver and the bee mace though... that sucks.

[quasi totem]

What would you consider the tankiest/easiest build somebody can play? I know it's likely paladin so figured I would ask here. My hands are messed up, can only really do a 1-button setup at best. I did reflect last season, I could still do it this season but was tempted to try something else since it got the bat pretty hard. I had considered forged weapons with vengeance but i feel like losing paladin might hurt tankiness a lot... I mean the answer doesn't have to be paly but that's definitely my best guess based on my somewhat limited knowledge of the game

[serene prism]

The absolute tankiest one that I can think of that can do content effortlessly would be Judgement Paladin, but that's not a one button build. Warpath VK is much squishier but is a real one-button build where you can even decide not to use Anomaly on the big bosses if you're okay with some DPS loss if you really can't afford a single second-button press every now and then (Tip: bind it to a mouse button close to your thumb might be useful (usually button 4 or 5)

[wild crown]

anyone playing warpath smite build?

[serene prism]

Warpath VK still ranks "A" tier in most hardcore lists though, so apparently not that bad on tankiness either🤔

[quasi totem]

The occasional second press isn't the end of the world, I had considered judgement aura since apparently it's really tanky but every 8 seconds or so could legit be a problem for me with the repetition. forged weapons would basically just be hitting things with vengeance so only 1 button, but it might lose a ton of tank from the loss of paladin.

im really only concerned with hitting like...500 corruption. i would never expect a super limited build to really be able to go much higher, and i dont think you need anything past 500 anyway?

[serene prism]

That's correct, the top end content is at 500 corruption with the new pinnacle boss.

[serene prism]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4eVVWox2lXA I'd still like to give a shoutout to build #1 here for the Primalist if you're interested in trying something new. This is also a 1-button build for 95% of the time you're in combat or so, and also extremely tanky. Not sure how tanky it is compared to paladin. But if you're bored out of your mind playing Sentinel, it's at least going to be a fun experience.

[naive solstice]

@quasi totem I'd suggest checking out Tornado Shaman. Num locking Warcry is a viable option for the build which makes it a one button build. Absolute amazing build, the epitome of a mono blaster, was the top arena build in 1.2 due to the amount of clear it has, likely still is the best or one of the best, etc.

[viscid garnet]

Alright guys how slow is Forge strike FG really, given the no haste n all

[serene prism]

Forge strike... VK?

[viscid garnet]

Cause i reaaally wanna finally play big bonk but if its slow as balls then im not so sure

oh

missclick

FG

[serene prism]

I was like... is there some unholy corruption item that casts forge strike or something 😆

[viscid garnet]

LMAOO echoed void forge strikes do sound cool

[dusky minnow]

hey, didnt play for a while wanted to do a paladin, is there any good build for leveling? i wanted to do a warpath pala

[serene prism]

Looks like the Forge strike FG builds tend to have 80-94% increased movement speed on their affixes but otherwise there's no skills for extra speed

[viscid garnet]

Compared to judgement aura pally is it noticably slower?

[serene prism]

About the same speed, but judgement aura pally will mean you're just killing faster and thus going faster in that regard.

[viscid garnet]

Yeah and youre not having to stop to actually cast anything

Just walking and killing aoe w the aura

[winged breach]

pfft ddint want to start a sentinel . nevermind a paladin , but i keep finding gear for fire and increased aoe melee weapons ,, means a fire paladin twirler and soem other things maybe

[thorn night]

Hello fellow sentinels, can someone look into my build and give me some pointers https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/planner/e4aiei0i thank youuu

[lone flicker]

WTF

[vestal mirage]

That's a lot of throwing damage on a ring

[urban phoenix]

Think i figured out why this feels so bad.

theres just not nearly enough ignite duration accessible to make it feel good.

[manic cradle]

I just realized that ricochet on idols is massive for shield throw

it not only boots damge

but also defence

cause shieldthrow leeches armor from enemies

inside of omens im usually between 30 and 40k armor

and thats my 'offensive' setup 🤣

[silk wasp]

lmao

Finally a way to hit 85% armor mit for Thornmail

[vestal mirage]

Gm chat

It's grind time

[barren pecan]

is spin to win time rot a viable endgame build.

[dense mulch]

Some corruptions can be quite crazy

[unkempt helm]

unchained passive works with warrior's fury? dont feel it different with or without it

for warpath

[alpine canopy]

Yes, but its effect is really small compared to warrior's fury

[unkempt helm]

wondering what to do, got 5 points left to use, Im only 1.1k mana, and with 3/5 warrior's fury Im "fine", I run out sometimes, dunno why, but yeah

so its either area and last point to dmg, or getting cost reduction

but cant afford more points into warrior's fury atm

[manic cradle]

130k armor now

[scarlet thistle]

Does void converted Shield Throw also convert the lava burst?

[manic cradle]

i have not tested it

[vestal mirage]

think it's time to farm some staves

[vestal mirage]

first 4lp of the season

found my first omni and it's 1lp

decent rolls too

[orchid flint]

can you lp a corrupted item?

[vestal mirage]

as in slam a corrupted exalt into a unique?

if so, no

[orchid flint]

like the +4 erasing strike

because the lightning is the corrupted affix?

[vestal mirage]

no. you can't slam a corrupted item at all

[orchid flint]

damn so ppl in mg are paying for the +4 to not be able to slam lol

glad i asked lol

[vestal mirage]

yeee

wasted a key + portal key trying to slam one last night

[worn yacht]

anyone able to help me on 300 corruption boss

[vestal mirage]

which boss

[worn yacht]

timeline boss

240 corruption*

[serene prism]

Corrupted does what it says: UNMODIFIABLE

[vestal mirage]

I can

[worn yacht]

o nice

whats ur user

[vestal mirage]

should be Drewbtw

yours?

[worn yacht]

added

lououcas

[orchid flint]

yes i was asking if it can be slammed into something else not modify that corrupted

[serene prism]

But taking away affixes to put it into something else technically is modifying 😛

But yeah the answer is no, can't use a corrupted item as something to slam into something else. (I did try, it just doesn't let you put it in the slot)

[vestal mirage]

2lp inevitable. that's gonna take me so long to get a boot I want to slam in that lol

[barren pecan]

does the void damage leech work with timerot?

found the answer its yes

[vestal mirage]

lol

hit the corruption on my inevitable that made every single affix min roll

very cool

[young lynx]

goddamn portal bug killed another echo

guess I am skipping this league, because its not even mentioned in known bugs, and last time I had this problem, it took entire league to fix

[vestal mirage]

what portal bug

oh

[manic cradle]

yes

btw. I just uploaded video of endgame echo speedrunning with timerot vk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qca9Swj0nmw

in my experience, it's one of the fastest builds i've played

[latent ferry]

does judgment of the storm count skill specific crit multi or just the global stat?

[vestal mirage]

I might not do that much damage but I sure do leech

[quiet hearth]

I guess Im rolling bear man now

[vestal mirage]

that's a sick chest dang

I think it might be time to look for a new ring

I am somehow still using this at 96 l0l

[quiet hearth]

Idid the same thing on my necro, I had the freaking tutorial crafting ring on at lvl 48

[vestal mirage]

lmao classic

I've gotten AE down to 14.4 mana now

so I'm thinking about getting more cast speed. since mana isn't really an issue anymore

I need to get more crit so bad

[silk wasp]

Finally got a cadence. It's so good for omen windows lmao

[vestal mirage]

oh I've never really looked at cadence properly. that thing looks sick

[lone flicker]

my tooltip dps was 58k and now it is 89 wtf

[vestal mirage]

huge upgrade

[quiet hearth]

damn that is a pen roll

[lone flicker]

t6

[vestal mirage]

i cant hit a havoc to save my life man

aaaaaaaa

[supple goblet]

Is 700 ele DoT as LP on Xylem staff in guides normal?

[vestal mirage]

not a bad corrupt

note to self. do not shield charge in

I locked myself out somehow

[manic cradle]

depends on a build, but usually yes

[supple goblet]

Well how does one get it

I think T7 mod on weps is like 200-300% no?

[supple goblet]

ah nvm

[flint summit]

is this conversion not supposed to show on the stat sheet?

[fringe barn]

basic 100 corruption with a slammed together build. Haven't used a guide and I'm sure this can go further. I'll post the build as well for some CnC if anyone has any.

[mellow willow]

imagine

if 3lp titan heart doesnt hit poison res

[vestal mirage]

ow

would have 1 shot me without the crit

[mellow willow]

lol

[vestal mirage]

that's juicy holy

now corrupt it

[orchid flint]

holy

[vestal mirage]

think it's worth putting a t6 max rolled crit multi staff into my 1lp omni?

been looking for a t7 for a while no luck

omni so rare tho

screw it we ball

[trim badge]

you need around 1600 mana ish with 65% reduction + mana regen.

here is my build, I dont expect anyone to ever get this gear but something sorta to strive for.

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/Vuthia/character/Unholyslayer

[lone flicker]

yoooooooooooooooo

and I was trying to hit health + phys pen / damage over time

[unkempt helm]

ooof how do I get to 1.6k mana... Im at 1k with mana on everything but helm, relics as in maxroll tho, swapped out of mana ones

[lone flicker]

this league is gonna be fun as hell

[trim badge]

not sure I play/ed legacy and this is my gear now under new meta no idea.

[unkempt helm]

how much mana regen u got as well? lemme check

25.68, thats crazy

[trim badge]

about 28 + 65 Reduction + 4 into warpath skill points

since 5/5 fury will cost 108 after 10 seconds mana you want to get get as much reduction as possible. Also check my devouring orb

That will keep you flush with void wells so you never run out of mana

[unkempt helm]

yeah, just did, swapping spec for that, looks better

[trim badge]

mana does 2 things give crit bonus + keeps you in warpath with the multiplier.

[unkempt helm]

but yeah, its crazy the amount of mana and regen, no way I can reach that

[trim badge]

I dont expect anyone to reach that gear TBH, but principle is there.

in 1.3 you wanted double mana on armor, this league +warpath mana is better.

[trim badge]

that is sexy

[unkempt helm]

yeah, thats what Id like, but so far only got 1lp titans and I got one with +warpath and one with %mana xP

[trim badge]

honestly with how i see the meta flat mana or % mana +warpath. 1t7s will be the meta this league with 2t7s being rare.

[trim badge]

if you are COF run propehcies you should get 2LP fairly common

[unkempt helm]

mana t7 better? or warpath

ah nah, Im MG

I could buy a 2lp titans, but the chance of hitting...

[trim badge]

I Couldnt say TBH I am min/maxed

if you do get + warpath you can lower points in warriors fury to adjust with mana pool but less damage.

[unkempt helm]

Im running +warpath atm with 3 warriors fury

[trim badge]

yeah, you may get lucky with +warpath corrupt with mana

that seems the route of the meta now

[unkempt helm]

yeah

can u use an item with 5 affixes for the julra thingy?

so, if I seal an affix, can I still use it?

[trim badge]

yeah, just wont target the affix.

[unkempt helm]

awesome

[lone flicker]

almost

[trim badge]

if you are on legacy i can help kill some bosses for you.

[unkempt helm]

Im playing cycle

well, couldnt craft it better, ran out of potencial x.x but still an upgrade I guess haha

[trim badge]

yep for sure!

[unkempt helm]

2nd attempt failed badly, hit on armor roll

last try

rip

[quiet hearth]

I wouldnt say rip, not what you wanted butthat aint bad either

[unkempt helm]

yeah, Id rather the one I got before with 6% mana tho I think

even if its t1 xP

[vestal mirage]

can someone tell the game to drop me an amulet with spell crit on it

hell I'd take a t6 at this rate

[trim badge]

corrupt and pray now

[unkempt helm]

no way, Im bricking it for sure

[vestal mirage]

I just watched raxx brick 2 big items in a row

it do be like that

[trim badge]

you have 2 armors, corrupt worst one first!

[unkempt helm]

then worst will hit and best will fail

xP

[trim badge]

oh I bricked huge items also LOL

[hollow spindle]

Bricked mine earlier today lol

[unkempt helm]

gamba time, why not

xD

[hollow spindle]

#👑┃item-showcase message

[unkempt helm]

first brick

okay, that one didnt brick at least xP Ill take that

[hollow spindle]

Not bad.

[unkempt helm]

that would have been better lol

hit it on the worst one xD

[trim badge]

yeah, gotta keep hitting

[quiet hearth]

I dont think Volcauns works as advertised

[trim badge]

i bricked stuff that is basically super rare to even hit/find

[unkempt helm]

I just hit 14%health on the one I was using

if it was only mana...

[vestal mirage]

whoa

never getting a relic to slam into this thing

[fiery pine]

how much mana (in addition to world splitter) would I roughly need to transition into erasing strike?

[quiet hearth]

Alright so Volcanus doesnt really do much better, all it does is select random targets within 12 meters, as far as I can tell at random. It's not even the closest ones.

[silk wasp]

Yeah I was hoping the magma shards would work like divine bolt but they still spread out in a circle around you

[quiet hearth]

They kinda do

Like it's definitely aiming better, it's not just randomly shooting but still

Im not sure if I can tell a difference, but Im just getting to it, Im still seeing if WP or MS is gonna be better because MS can toss out smites far more often, and lets me use HH

[twilit quail]

hummba

[quiet hearth]

Do the magma shards shotgun?

[vestal mirage]

that's a lot of unique beams

I'm even hiding almost all 0lps

[quiet hearth]

rats they do not

Also good gods that is a lot of shinies

[vestal mirage]

I had 4 loot lizard shrines

and one of them spawned more loot lizards after

[quiet hearth]

Ive had that happen

Well now Im questioning using this sword since, well, they dont do what they really need to do

[tepid terrace]

Question for my sentinel players is a crit hamartian still decent was thinking about rolling a sentinel Iv played rouge for three season now and just getting board quick

[quiet hearth]

Hammerdins of all kids are fine

actually they got buffed a bit, with that one node making them go through terrain

lmao, went back to WP to see and shards everwhere

[thorn minnow]

is there a way to see our forge weapon dps when changing gear?

[quiet hearth]

what on earth an I supposed to build with this game

[gusty abyss]

Me: How am I gonna get some mana recovery into my build
The game:

[vestal mirage]

something meme worthy

rank 11 cof. 1 more!!!

[quiet hearth]

have you ever wanted zero defenses?

[vestal mirage]

lol

big damage tho

[twin iron]

at which level should I swap from leveling sentinel build to warpath?

when do you recommend guys

[vestal mirage]

went from like 55% crit to 85% and my dps went way up. go figure

ahhhhhhhh i finally have cast speed on my relic

[quiet hearth]

Man vs mana orb

[vestal mirage]

just need another usable grip and I can get 100% crit easily. they don't exist tho

oh wait crit idols exist

yippee

[quiet hearth]

I just realized this entire time Ive had the HH melee node on so it hasnt been scaling with my spell dmg

[vestal mirage]

that is unfortuante

[quiet hearth]

Pro builder, guide coming shortly

[vestal mirage]

first nihilis of the season and it's awful

hate to see it

i just realized I have mirrored uniques in my stash

how and when did i get those

holy

first good corrupt I've gotten I think

[silk wasp]

🤔

[quiet hearth]

I swear Im finding gear for everything but what Im wanting to play

[vestal mirage]

that's how that usually goes

[scarlet thistle]

well, hopefully the loot tables aren't bugged again

[vestal mirage]

ooooo

do i creation this

I think I have to

[quiet hearth]

yeah you do, need a backup for when you slam corruption on it

[vestal mirage]

I need to get a 3lp+ heart first

and a creation lol

[barren pecan]

does flat void dmg effect timerot.

[vestal mirage]

draven do you know if having omnis in my weaver tree actually do anything? had titan hearts in there and were getting drops all the time. I've had omni in 3 of the slots all day and haven't seen a thing

is it just because omni is rare that it doesn't proc as often

[silk wasp]

Omnis is a boss drop.

[vestal mirage]

nah the 2h staff

omnividence

[silk wasp]

Oh, then yeah it's the rarity

[vestal mirage]

gotcha

[silk wasp]

90% reroll

[vestal mirage]

going back to farming hearts then

[quiet hearth]

Ive no idea about the weaver tree thing

[vestal mirage]

that took a few tries

stuff does so much damn damage

[quiet hearth]

300% dmg effectiveness will do that

[vestal mirage]

if I could just get a 2lp omnividence with cast speed + multi

so good

[quick heath]

Hey guys, im having a lot of trouble keeping my mana up for VK warpath and its so difficult to play it right now,

is there anyway i can target farm a reduced chanelling cost helmet?

This is my helmet right now, anyway i can remove the health mod and repllace it with reduce channelling?

[vestal mirage]

take some points out of the world hunger node or whatever it's called until you can sustain the mana

and yeah you need reduced channeling for sure

[quiet hearth]

alright well, now that this sword has proved to be kinda meh, I need a new build

[vestal mirage]

any ideas?

[quick heath]

anyway i can target farm this?

[vestal mirage]

havocs are great for that

[quiet hearth]

I wanna do Rampancy Ruby Fang memes but I need the gear first, but I do have this

[vestal mirage]

setup a havoc filter that is something like "equip has (select all afixes) at t7 and t1+ reduced channeling"

can also find one with a t1 or t2 prefix, seal off the prefix, add channeling, and then havoc on the t7

channel cost is prefix right?

[quiet hearth]

lmao, I just got a perfect Carver come on now

[vestal mirage]

pausechamp

[quiet hearth]

also why is the carver a lvl 80 item

[silk wasp]

Leviathan Carver?

Because ehg hates me

Also why its LPL is enormous

The little explosion chains release the good brain chemicals

[vestal mirage]

almost did a fading brink but died to some bs
