molten cobalt
#

With regular weapon?

next lance
#

either 1650 or 1645

#

assuming your fully +25

#

let me check

molten cobalt
#

By now everyone should be full +25

#

Otherwise what have you been doing

#

On the main that is

next lance
#

ya about that sir XD

#

there is no way a f2p can be 1650

#

its literally impossible

molten cobalt
#

I had +25 weapon before I quit and that was.. uhh a long time ago

next lance
#

akkan?

#

or brel?

molten cobalt
#

Before akkan

#

Brel I did

next lance
#

ya so your no where near +25

#

cus at akkan it resets

molten cobalt
#

Resets again?

next lance
#

u go back to 12

#

yes

molten cobalt
#

It already reset once

next lance
#

yes and at akkan u go again

molten cobalt
#

Oh

next lance
#

u go to +19 iirc pre akkan then u go to +12 at akkan

#

and if u get that to +25 its 1650

molten cobalt
#

Going to +25 Brel wasn’t too difficult honestly

next lance
#

and +24 to +25 on all items costs well over 1.2m RAW gold in tabs not including material costs or juice materials

molten cobalt
#

It was easier going +25 Brel than +20 pre Brel I felt

next lance
#

like going for 22 to 23 its 0.5% chance to succeed

molten cobalt
#

I dumped all my gold when I quit

#

For $$

next lance
#

ofc u did 😛

molten cobalt
#

Sold off all my max lvl gems

#

Liquidated everything

#

So I dumped like 7mil gold or so

next lance
#

nice i guess

#

3 lvl 10 gems is now 1.2m 😛

molten cobalt
#

Silver was the issue for me

next lance
#

1.8m if you want dmg gems

molten cobalt
#

They went down then

next lance
#

but did u acquire that gold legit or did u rmt?

molten cobalt
#

Legit

still stump
#

I keep duping rare chests when I meant to turn them into a unique lol ahhhhhhhhh

next lance
#

1 dmg gem is about 600k and a CDR gem is about 400 iirc

molten cobalt
#

Selling it wasn’t legit though 😅

next lance
#

my biggest issue is gold atm

molten cobalt
next lance
#

i have well over 100m silver

molten cobalt
#

I think some like meteor was 660k

#

The big ticket ones

next lance
#

ya sorc is dead XD

molten cobalt
#

😦

still stump
#

I thought I was lost LOL I frequent the sorc discord and yall just chatting about LA over here

next lance
#

its the least played clas

#

SORRY

#

i can take it to dms wi th him if it bothers u

molten cobalt
#

Damn

#

I had 6 reflux sorcs

still stump
#

nah its fine we are back, some nice changes on the horizon

next lance
#

thats 3 months from now for the sor cs tho

#

#

i cant wait for breaker tho

#

imma punch some ppls in da face

winter crow
#

Lol samee, I did the first brel hard clear back then when it was released...

next lance
#

now brel is only 4 gates 😛 and G4 is 1 every 2 weeks

molten cobalt
#

I wasn’t around for Brel hard

valid flame
#

Can you drop higher lp2 in regular monoliths?

molten cobalt
#

I did duo buss gate6 Brel normal though

next lance
#

i believe LP drops are just rando?

#

i dont think its specificly tied to anything

valid flame
#

lp1*\

next lance
#

correct me if wrong

obsidian quarry
#

you can drop lp 4 items in the first zone (theoretically, but realistically no)

valid flame
#

Can rune of ascension roll lp?

molten cobalt
#

It can

winter crow
next lance
#

is it that rare?

molten cobalt
#

I’ve gotten 1 lp4

obsidian quarry
winter crow
valid flame
#

Gotcha. ty

next lance
#

hmm emphy was showing off his LP4s like crazy

#

i tohugh they were normal XD

#

but they arent then i assume?

molten cobalt
#

Nooo

next lance
#

aha

winter crow
#

They might be normal in like 10k corr XD

next lance
#

they were at 3k?

#

i think

#

5 man group

winter crow
#

Groups are op

#

Paladin ward

midnight beacon
#

When is the best time to use runic invocation then

next lance
#

off CD?

winter crow
#

Most good builds use runic inv for frostguard shield (ice fire ice)

#

Off cd

next lance
#

for frostguard i tihnk and yes u can make invocation instant with a node in the tree iirc

#

atleast from what ive seen here

winter crow
#

Yes, you can auto runes

midnight beacon
#

Awww I'm going fireball and oooo can you

next lance
#

FIREBALLL TUDUDUDUDU!

#

AM I A FIREEEEEEEEEEBALLLLLLLL!

upper mason
#

atomic manipulation on static orb doesn't specify directly cast does this mean it works on indirect cast like static and forst wall?

next lance
#

i beleive u have to setup your bar a specific way

#

and it will cast based on your action bar is from what ive been told

#

Correct me if wrong

midnight beacon
#

How do the rune automatically cast then

minor wasp
#

Anyone had issues with Flame Rush? It says channeled but even holding it down the action ends immediately and I only move about 2 feet

still stump
#

I stopped using it and changed from hydra becuse of this ^

#

so fkn annoying in higher corrupt bosses

scenic dock
#

what to do once youve unlocked empored monoliths? Just do every timeline again to unlock the blessings?

tight radish
#

Teleport is just so nice, i ran rush for a good while but ditched it

still stump
#

tp is goated

tight radish
#

for clearing maps fast, in/out of mechanics on bosses TP is doep

#

5s cooldown or something stupid

unborn hamlet
#

For example the emperor of corpses, you can't flame rush at all there

molten cobalt
#

It should be closer to 3 seconds

unborn hamlet
#

His hitbox is so fat he just dead stops you even if you're not near him

molten cobalt
#

And his breath attack has way wider hit box than the actual breath

unborn hamlet
#

Only reason I use flame rush is because of my build, I need it to trigger runic energy

#

well, I just face tank the whole fight, the only thing I dodge is the breath

#

10k ward shield with like 70% overall DMG reduction from passive and runic invocation shield, yeah

#

Trash mobs on bad modifiers have way higher rate of being able to kill me than bosses,

neon lynx
#

It’s always the stuff falling from the sky that catches me lacking while I loot 😡

unborn hamlet
#

I honestly think Profane flesh, the big guy with a rock, smacking you for 20k is a little bit unbalanced, like actual 1 hit KO, it's not hard to dodge, but when there is 15 of em in one place one bound to snipe you

#

Oh yeah, definitely happened to me.too, spires are fun, not only I have to dance with the mobs but also pay attention to little circles that are straight up invisible on some maps

neon lynx
#

Everything on the ground is invisible when ur playing with ele nova heavybreathing

unborn hamlet
neon lynx
#

You playin spark?

unborn hamlet
#

No, frostclaw frostbite, but dropped nearly perfect roll crest so early on I simply had no better t7 exalt helmet drop that could replace it

#

At this point I'm farming crest with LP to slam cos it's easier than just getting perfect tyrant crown

tired hound
#

any spellblade players

unborn hamlet
#

Got 5 2LP ones with +5 nova, kinda holding out cos I want a +6 one, same as the one I have now

neon lynx
unborn hamlet
#

I don't need crit so yeah, it's all about DMG over time,

glossy quarry
#

Does anyone get FPS lag when playing something other than frost claw?

unborn hamlet
#

Turn off your anti aliasing

glossy quarry
#

man frostclaw+elemental nova is central america's temperature

#

I swear I cannot play any other build other than normal frost claw, kills my eyes

unborn hamlet
#

Turning shadows to low also helps a lot with fps

glossy quarry
#

hmmm

#

ok

unborn hamlet
#

I kinda wish they implemented an option to instantly despawn dead mobs, cos that's the biggest FPS issue

glossy quarry
#

yes

unborn hamlet
#

Badly optimised trash cluttering

glossy quarry
#

but they do despawn, but for some reason when doing it with ailments, they take long to despawn

#

or maybe its just my perspective

unborn hamlet
#

What's the point of having splattered spiders on your screen for over a minute before it disappears

celest yarrow
#

Anyone building spell reave lightning edition?

unborn hamlet
#

Like, I understand they have other issues to deal with, but you've been developing the game for 5 years, and this idea never crossed y'all minds?

#

Game.might have been fine on old graphics, but this is just poor optimisation

#

and I have fairly strong gig

blissful kite
#

is there a way to play CoC meteor without mana strike?

#

I wanted CoC in a ranged playstyle

next lance
#

whenever i reach full mana it instantly gets depleted to 0 and i gain some ward, what could cause this ? super annoying and cant figure out why its happening

#

it also just started happening didnt have this before

winged prawn
#

what is generall the recommended leveling skill for runemaster? I've been using elemental nova + frost claw

silk arch
neat flame
next lance
#

oh its my new weapon, culnivar's claim

#

thats unlucky it wouldve been so good

#

also it seems to me that the talent for flame rush is bugged where you gain back some mana if you cast flame rush after fireball. i should add both of them are converted to lightning

ocean mauve
#

Hi friends, what does it mean when hail of arrows (the skill) says "100% crit multiplier" https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/hail_of_arrows

or when plasma orb says "200% crit multiplier"

does that mean if I have +150% crit multi, on plasma orb thats really +300% crit multi and on hail of arrows its just +150%?

still stump
#

killing a boss over and over and not getting the blessing I need makes me feel very bad

#

Lightning frostclaw RM- two 3lp ladles. T7 crit dmg/T5 cast speed/T3 ignite vs T7 crit dmg/T5 lightning pen/T5 chill what should I choose?

tight radish
#

hard to resist cast speed but im runic so want it lots

digital flower
#

tbh wouldnt even have this question if i wasnt so damn unlucky..

next lance
#

can someone explain how low health/high ward builds even work with Exsanguinous and Last steps? How do these just not outright kill you?

tight radish
#

i got T3 cast, T5 lightning pen, T5 chance to shock on my 3LP ladle

#

double ill ever beat that

#

takes you down to like 50hp stripes

#

but you sit there with like 2k+ base ward

#

and casting adds more ward

next lance
#

do you need both to make it work?

tight radish
#

you can use an experimental affix on gloves

#

so you can ditch exsans

#

you kinda want at least 2 though

next lance
#

all right.

tight radish
#

then you can grab fundamental criterion chest which brings loads of damage etc

#

oh and twisted heart is usually used, so ive got twisted heart, the experimental gloves, and last steps atm.

sharp monolith
#

thanks for the answer

tight radish
#

standard uniques though, not crafted legendaries

digital flower
#

Twisted heart scales off your hp, so if you’re at low hp it’s not gonna give u any ward

next lance
#

you probably need a lot of ward threshold/retain as well?

tight radish
#

ideally yes stripes but it sort of depends what you're doing

next lance
#

after equipping two, I'm sitting at about 469 ward, drained to 107/620 hp

#

so it's giving me less ward than the difference in lost hp

tight radish
#

might be a bit early in the journey for you

#

fire off some spells

next lance
#

I've got exsang and a pair of gloves

tight radish
#

depending where you are level wise, you'd be build ward from spell casts and kills etc

#

probably best to hit the old youtubes for a demonstration

next lance
#

well, I don't have passives that give ward on hit/cast/kill.

#

so that's probably part of it.

tight radish
#

lowhp builds generally require several parts coming together to work

#

you can't half arse it

normal cipher
#

How fast should I be able to kill bosses at 100 corruption? Like should bosses be trivial? I kill mobs instantly, but definitely not bosses.

tight radish
#

to begin with slower, as your build improves, faster

#

or if you're warlock, super fast 😄

#

im playing mostly with a mate and he makes me jealous sometimes

#

hes a turbo nerd for this stuff though

normal cipher
#

How much more difficult is 200 corruption vs 100?

next lance
#

the damage output of the setup I've got is so crazy, but it's really tissue paper thin on basic monos too

#

though I'm only level 47 on that one

tight radish
#

oh well i mean, youre just low level

#

youre lacking key passives and skill points surely

next lance
#

17k dps with volcanic orb at this level is just silly, not even capped on its spec level either.

tight radish
#

i dont tihnk any low life ward gen build is going to be super viable at that level yet

next lance
#

most likely not. I'm still trying to work out how to get my resistances amped up.

prisma patio
#

I don't think you can reasonably cap at that level, gear with enough resist is just too high level

#

You can get plenty, but not all 75s

scenic dock
#

I get wrecked by tier2 bosses and sometimes in empowered monos as level 80 RM. Is it because of my Level or should i stack more res?

#

Playing Frost Calw build and have pretty consistent 3k ward but i cant facetank anything really

marsh sapphire
#

i see a Plasma Orb Runemaster build that specializes flame ward but doesn't equip the skill. i can't seem to find what triggers it

scenic dock
#

Firewall probably

tight radish
#

i decided against using frostwall trigger flame ward

#

so i do frostwall (not fire imbued) flameward, frostwall to get reowyns whatever

marsh sapphire
#

it has flame dash, static orb, runebolt and runic invocation. no frostall

tight radish
#

then runebolt for FLF for plasma

vague cargo
#

i'm playing a ignite fireball mage, but the skill dont hv a tag for damage over time.. thats a problem? affix damage over time wi'll not work for that?

still stump
#

I am just about to hit 400 corruption and havent seen lightning shred one time for blessing

#

pain

tight radish
#

yeah me neither

#

cold shred cold shred cold shred

#

now i switch to plasma orb from hydra im also getting great uniques for the old build. its a tale as old as time

wide folio
#

https://imgur.com/5tSMQDt Lagonian arenas seem to be bugged right now, they can spawn exiled mages, which is insane for farming since you can see the spawns from the spawn point and the load times are immediate

tight radish
#

we had a mage in an arena earlier, didn't think that was normal

#

only once, must ahve been that

Could be other arenas as well, but tried two Lagonian ones and both reproduce same effect. Havent seen other arenas do the same.

yeah i was going try this as leveling build snce you get fireball at level 2.. but can try switching skills if fireball sucks for this

woeful geyser

Leveling as ignite is rough

#

Would just recommend the standard fire ball + meteor hit build

eager silo
#

what you mean by rough exactly.. I get its probably not optimal at all.. or its going make the campaign too hard?

i managed to get through campaign on my really crappy build on paladin.. but yeah.. trying to stay deathless on that last boss fight was on edge of my seat

woeful geyser
#

here is my take

#

frost claw spam proc elemental nova from celestial conflux

#

ele nova apply high ignite in huge aoe when clearing packs

#

blackhole ignite scales with uncapped fire res, very good for big ignite application on tanky rare and boss

eager silo
#

nice thank you

final mountain
#

Does anyone know how the interaction between the rune invocation and a skill with the 3 elements works?

woeful geyser
#

flame rush gives ward by consuming ignite on enemy, has better cdr with uncapped fire res

#

abuse cradle for another defensive layer coz we are scalling uncapped fire res

fervent abyss
#

Is "chilled enemies" also the same as "frozen enemies"? (I got a weap that does more dmg to chilled enemies, but do i also do more dmg against frozen?)

atomic jasper

so the Apogee of Frozen light is pretty dumb, my 24% more dmg on chilled gets removed cuz the weap also automatically make 8 units frozen.... oooor wait, ofc they can have 2 ailments at the same time, nvm :S

If u can get -4 mana cost on cindersong, I think that's ok

does frost claw trigged nova affect by the nova tree?

yes

damage wise or just everything I mean the subtree node that related to all kinds of ignite

anything you put into a specialized nova will happen on proc

basically it's equal to my self-cast

yes except it doesnt benefit from anything that says "when you self cast elemental nova"

Is there a difference between penetration and shred? So like Craterborn 75% Fire Pen or Breath of Cinders 50% Shred Fire Res. Do they stack?

thorny wadi
#

Penetrate will affect the skill that it applies to. Shred lowers the mobs resistance. If you shred it then pen they should stack to my knowledge.

Might be a cap on the number of shred stacks... not sure. Test on dummy.

oh really - the Mad Alchemist Ladle - ive got one sitting in bad with 2LP....../facepalm

hollow totem

Gotten 2 LP2 ladles. 1 for warlock and 1 for runemaster

fair rune
#

so i was messing around before i got on maxroll with a build where i spam max aoe runebolt with random rune order and use the mana spend/rune generation to maximize invocation damage/cd and spammed random invocations

#

has anyone found a build like this that can scale into 80+

#

i think it doesnt work primarily becuase its tri-dmg type

#

and it seems like the runemaster builds using invocation that scale are ones that create short term persistent effects that sustain dps like hydra or orb

steel oasis
#

is there a max cast speed?

turbid carbon
#

If i want to go a pure lightning build would it be better to go sorcerer or runemaster?

latent kernel
#

I stumbled upon a 3 LP alchemist spoon of madness (the useful ladle). What would you folks recommend to try and fuse into it? I'm currently running a weird lightning blast version of my own, nearing level 100. Almost done with my first sweep of empowered monoliths. Is it useful for any serious endgame build or can I just have fun with it until I switch to a serious build?

spare shuttle
#

Does anyone know if the increased spell crit (double if you have >300 mana) is added (like pretty much any other crit multiplayer in the game) or multiplicative? (Like other “increased” elements)

rigid valley
robust reef
#

Which is then increased by % chance to crit

rigid valley
# robust reef It’s adding raw base crit chance

Thanks, Bix, as a new player this is confusing, you know, as in, just reading the stats, I was guessing that it was more going on that just +6% chance, but that's such a HUGE increase. If it said x some amount or whatever, it would make some sense...

copper wagon
#

Hi have you a one good starter build for mage? 😄

spare shuttle
#

As Bix said for spell crit. Formula is [5%+ that ADDED spell crit (6%)] x (100% + Increased Spell Crit)

robust reef
spare shuttle
#

And then your damage is (1- Spell crit X base) + Spell Crit x Crit Multi x base

pallid hedge
#

How many fire aura stacks would it be possible to achieve at once? Thinking spellblade passive, and then getting 3 t7 fire aura mods on gear (crit, when hit, and on kill).

Combining both celestial conflux ignite and blackhole ignite build from dr3adful's video

#

Frostclaw+nova for mapping
Blackhole for rare+boss
Flameward for defense

This is after multiple iteration of failing empowered mono 100 corruption

latent marsh
#

Hello everyone! I just got to empowered monos on my shattered strike build.. is there a good guide on how go continue getting stronger.. are there uniques I should look out for? I am looking at maxroll; is that the best guide ? Thanks!

woeful geyser
#

This baseline with those unique is good enough for empowered mono, gonna look to scale it further

crude orbit
#

so you haven't gone past 100?

woeful geyser
#

110

#

I've been to 300 on bleed warlock, that's how I got my uhkeiros

crude orbit
#

doesn't empowered start at 100?

woeful geyser
#

Yea, that build can do empowered mono, and I think it can definitely scale to do 100-200 mono

#

Dr3adful's vid are able to push past 300 corruption

#

So I'm optimistic

#

If u want to go 500+ without painpoints, runemaster >> sorcerer

eager silo
#

does

#

Increased Fire Damage from Elementalist passive apply to Ignite

woeful geyser
#

Fire damage scales ignite base damage

eager silo
#

Intelligence says "improves skills that rely on carefully studied magic" .. i take that not DoTs though?

woeful geyser
#

It affects the skill portion

#

But the ignite is an ailment that is applied through hits, so I believe int doesn't scale it

prisma patio
#

The amount of damage your ignite etc does is part of your character stats, so it wouldnt scale with skill damage or their tags

woeful geyser
#

Yeah, the skills are just a way for u to apply the ignite. Int scales the dmg of the skill, but it doesn't translate to higher ignite damage

feral shuttle
#

Anyone playing Hydrahedron runemaster? Im curious whats causing it not to go off correctly.

are there ant wrongwarp builds going around? got the item and found it really interesting, you guys knows something that i could work with?

neon lynx
#

its pretty strong for most builds

#

its pretty generic, since it just gives a bunch of cast speed, move speed, and spell damage

nova girder
#

i was thinking that any build that uses ladle could use wrongwarp too right?

neon lynx
#

yerp

#

its pretty easy to hit 100%+ movespeed with it

#

and that 300% spell damage buff aint no joke

nova girder
#

runemaster would be the best choice?

neon lynx
#

RMs just the best choice for pretty much any mage xd

royal dock
#

so the relic from regin fo dragon are a random drop?

faint lake
#

is there a way they can revamp fire damage from rune master? im doing fire and ice build but fire skills seems weak even though i got a decent fire damage boost from my weapons, passives and rings and offhand, most likely the highest damage from fire i did so far was 1k a hit and crit of 3k is the highest and ignite damage is like 200 to 300 per tick, im lvl 75 and doing 75 monolith and yet im already havin a hard time killing mobs and mini bosses, i dont wanna copy other build and meta build cause i hate meta systems. hopefully they revamp fire damage.

unborn hamlet
#

If you mean twisted heart

#

Yes, it's a random rare boss drop

#

Oh , the feather?

unborn hamlet
#

I recommend to at least follow the passive tree guide, that's probably the biggest bottleneck

woeful geyser
#

Lol, if they revamp fire dmg and fire becomes meta, would u still play fire?

unborn hamlet
#

It's not that fire DMG is bad

#

It's that rune master doesn't really have strong fire skills

royal dock
#

welp gotta farm it

neon lynx
woeful geyser
#

So true king

neon lynx
#

People love to play off meta but hate to be weak 😂

unborn hamlet
#

In my opinion, if you understand the fundamental basics of the game, you can do any meme trash build and still push it to 500 corruption

#

The game is very lenient

#

He probably just didn't stack any multipliers together and only focused on fire dmg

neon lynx
#

Not wrong

faint lake
# unborn hamlet It's not that fire DMG is bad

i know and i already accepted the fact they dont have it but hopefully they can revamp it to compensate how weak it is, its just like we got no freedom to make our own build even we compensate it with damage boost%

neon lynx
#

Once you take that trash meme build and hit 1k tho. You know you’re cookin

faint lake
#

in the end all of us gonna stick to other element thats op

prime fable
#

i saw 1lp items in the observatorium as rewards. can those also be 4lp?

unborn hamlet
stiff tide
#

i mean isnt what this game is pushing the limit of your build

faint lake
#

and to stick to that element means sticking to another meta build

prime fable
neon lynx
unborn hamlet
prime fable
unborn hamlet
#

For example

#

Elemental, spell, fire, int, move speed

#

That means you don't want to just stack fire dmg

#

Cos it's only 1 multiplier

#

You instead want to balance it out between them

#

Cos 100x500% is only 600dmg

faint lake
#

im using 2 elements right now

neon lynx
#

My point still stands lol

stiff tide
#

are you even like trying to do synergies with your build

unborn hamlet
#

You know what, it's not worth to explain how multipliers work

stiff tide
#

beside doing dmg boost

unborn hamlet
#

There is literally fire and ice meta builds for rune master

#

Let him figure it out

neon lynx
#

Like comfy said. Any meme skill can make it far into the end game if you use your brain and build it well

#

Throwing random passives and affixes into your build won’t

faint lake
unborn hamlet
#

No

woeful geyser
#

Do u not hear them? They don't want meta, they want their off meta build to cook harder than meta build, but not wanting it to be popular

unborn hamlet
#

It's just that people who made the builds

#

Had thousands of hours of beta playtime

neon lynx
#

Are smarter than u

unborn hamlet
#

And even then they said the builds might change when players come in, cos they might find cool new stuff

royal dock
#

Do we got a troll in here huh?

neon lynx
#

If you want the game to be easy enough where u can just throw random ass gear on with random ass points put in maybe should try d4

faint lake
#

people that do meta realize it before that certain elements are op than the others whats why they focus on that build and it becomes meta cause its op and now every1 copying it

neon lynx
#

Pretty casual friendly

faint lake
#

like i said earlier i fixed my gear thats suits with my build and element

#

and it still feel like weak

#

comparing to other builds even without elemental damage boosters is still op af

unborn hamlet
#

Okay hear me out

neon lynx
#

You made bad choices in what suits your build

unborn hamlet
#

I play meta frostclaw frostbite build

#

And my best DMG is 600 a hit, crit for 2k

#

It's not because the build is weak

#

It's because all the DMG comes in from DOTs

#

If you play for ignite dmg

#

Try looking for elemental DMG over time, DMG over time, fire penetration, fire DMG, spell DMG,

woeful geyser
#

Come play sorcerer for abit

unborn hamlet
#

Try out Mad Laddle for your weapon

#

That plays nice with about any buils

faint lake
#

im using cindersong

woeful geyser

You will come to appreciate that the best sorc build doesn't even compare to worst runemaster build

unborn hamlet
#

Okay so that's first trash item you have

#

Try mad Laddle

#

Thank me later

wraith mica

Does ignite scale with spell dmg?

Ok, wasn't sure, someone just posted that it does

faint lake
unborn hamlet
# wraith mica Ok, wasn't sure, someone just posted that it does

You don't want to just scale ignite, but the baseline skill too in most cases, but this guy is just complaining about meta and that his build sucks, and I'm genuinely trying to fix his "sh*t" build, but he just keeps crying instead of trying to understand what I'm saying

wraith mica
#

Just wanted to check! still new to the game

neon lynx
#

How come I can only have 10 stacks of lightning shred but I can have 10 billion armor shred stacks 😡

wraith mica
#

Ignites still doing too little damage

unborn hamlet
#

All good 👍

woeful geyser
# wraith mica Does ignite scale with spell dmg?

Spell damage is for the hit portion of the spell. The ignite that is caused by the spell hit isn't scaled by spell damage. fire damage scale both hit and the ignite it applies, if the spell has fire tag.

unborn hamlet
#

Also, if you don't want easy meta builds,

#

You can always try the hard ones that almost nobody plays despite being strong

#

To test your own skills and decisions making

#

Rune master is the most complex class in the game thanks to runic invocation,.I'm sure there will be way more builds down the line, when more players cook with it

sinful shard
#

What are the other meta builds besides frost claw?

unborn hamlet
#

Wrong warp

#

Reowyn fortress

Hydradreon (althou it was nerfed)

Uh,

Wrong wrap?

It's a unique item, that a whole build revolves around

Ah icic

unborn hamlet

Lemme see if I can find it

sinful shard
#

Looked it up, interesting item but not sure how to build around it? Teleprt spam?

unborn hamlet

It's a plasma orb build variant

Cooked by some youtuber, doesn't seem to be a verified build

What one hand sword is the best for spell blade like ideally a lp4 sword?

sinful shard

Ah

But the lad was playing it in 2k corruption

So yeah take it for what it is

sinful shard
unborn hamlet
#

The idea is that after you teleport, you use frost wall to go through, use a potion

#

And you basically have over 90% dodge rate

unborn hamlet
#

Some use dual wield some use shield

#

But looking at them

crude orbit
#

if I was dead set on using black hole for a cold build, what would be the best damaging spells to go with it, and how many?
From most builds I see people typically use 1 or 2 damage spells and the rest are utility/survivability so I'm just trying to figure out if I can salvage the idea I originally had or if I should just swap classes lol

unborn hamlet
#

The crystal sword is used in almost all of em

tardy comet
unborn hamlet
#

If you have a friend that plays ward shield paladin, you can play literally anything and he will keep you alive while you dps

crude orbit
# tardy comet What’s your ideal

so originally when the game launched I saw black hole and was like, huh, that sounds cool. I went the node that rains meteors every 1 second. unfortunately it is way too many intensive and I don't have the gear/game knowledge to make it work. I am able to (somewhat) do corruption 100 stuff but it's basically coin flip if I get one shot by something at some points.

cold blackhole is so cooked

crude orbit
#

I use fireball black hole w/ fire conversion and meteor.

unborn hamlet
tardy comet
#

What I want to know is who use the int + str cleaver??

crude orbit
#

However, it is way way too mana intensive and I probably don't have the best gear/forges on it to make it work in its current form

unborn hamlet
tardy comet
crude orbit
#

So I figured well okay since the fire version can't even CC, maybe I will switch to cold version since I have a really nice relic and it has +1 to black hole and +2 to flame ward on it

unborn hamlet
#

Trade DMG for mana regen

crude orbit
unborn hamlet
#

You're playing sorc right?

#

Kiss defenses goodbye

crude orbit
#

Like I can kill bosses I just can't keep mana pool up and if I'm OOM I'm useless.

I did however switch from my 2h staff to cinder song + catalyst and this allowed me to go 0 mana fireball

unborn hamlet
#

You're literally a glass canon

crude orbit
#

which meant I can still dps when OOM

#

well yes I understand that, that's pretty typical for mages in most games lol

#

I'm not expecting to be a tank

unborn hamlet
#

looks at warlock and runemaster

crude orbit
#

warlock is just extremely overtuned and runemaster seems to be as well my point was that typically, that's not normal

unborn hamlet
#

Well, as I said, if you have a friend, and he is willing to play paladin

#

You won't have issue

#

There is builds that can't be done solo

crude orbit
#

I don't have anyone to play with that is available to play at same time / as frequently as I can since I have a lot of free time unfortunately

#

or that would play paladin

#

would ice black hole work better?

Since all i use is lightning i get more ward

crude orbit
#

but I also want to see the black hole build to see if that could also work

#

from the other person

#

but I'm 100% interested in seeing your build

so what all spells do you use? frost claw, mana strike, meteor, what are the other two?

tardy comet

The cold black hole likely on maxroll website

You put black hole down to keep enemies in place

My build now is amazing and im making progress everyday. My fps drop from 200 to 15 sometimes bc there are that many meteors on my screen

And nuke them with glacier

Don't let others tell you wrong

I play meta cos frostclaw is fun for me

I'm not playing warlock or runemaster so I'm already not playing meta lmao

prime fable
#

Yes mana can be annoying thats why i have mana strike. 1 hit gives me over 50 mana back so i never really tun out of mana

crude orbit
#

it's more nuanced than that. games have objectives and you can have fun while also attempting to challenge yourself or beat the game

weary hamlet
# crude orbit and still has yuge mana issues

can't find the start of your conversation but if you are running meteor your only reasonable option if you are spamming meteors is to use melee mana strike with cooldown to regen it back, perhaps with wrongwrap if you can manage the troll teleports

crude orbit
#

in d2

weary hamlet
#

That will let you drop mana strike or focus entirely

crude orbit
#

so if I'm looking at ice options then

#

is ice barrage a capable primary spell to build around or no

prime fable
#

Meteor without mana strike sux imo

crude orbit
#

seems like most people prefer static orb, lightning blast or glacier

#

or frost claw

#

i saw some builds using glacier and no low-cost spells so they must be fine on mana resource

weary hamlet
crude orbit
#

i think my view might be skewed heavily because of how mana intensive my build is LMAO

weary hamlet
#

it's still good

weary hamlet
crude orbit
#

would black hole to keep enemies in place while i ascendancy and nuke them with ice barrage work or is that terrible

weary hamlet
#

if you are playing mage you are accepting the reality that you will be using either mana strike or focus in almost every build

prime fable
crude orbit
prime fable

my concern is getting too close while trying to farm the gear to make my build work

weary hamlet

#

and then just getting bopped over and over because low ward/gear

weary hamlet
#

You are just looking at a niche that doesn't really exist nor need to exist in this game

#

It ain't everquest, you don't have to have a ton of CC or lose

crude orbit
#

kk i'll just drop the spell then and try to do something simpler

#

and hope they improve it sometime later

#

would you say ice barrage is better at single target or aoe?

#

my friend had some meme build on his sorcerer where he fired fireballs in a cone but it encompassed pretty much the entire screen and was 1 shotting everything. It was the craziest thing I had ever seen

prime fable
weary hamlet
#

it's good at both but at AOE it's limited by its small area coverage, you'd want to run a secondary spell to help your clear, I guess either frost claw (it has direct synergy with barrage in the tree) or cold converted static orb with orbit (great area coverage for killing trash)

crude orbit
weary hamlet
#

you can also build barrage into the bottom right branch of the tree with a global 60% more cold damage and use it as a support skill for your other one

crude orbit
woeful geyser
#

speccing meteor just for the craterborn is the most copium things Sorc people has to do

#

the rest of tree literally does nothing except craterborn

#

if meteor is not ur main skill

crude orbit
#

like the damage spikes super freakin hard with that 50+%

woeful geyser
#

yea, and then trying to use meteor every 5s is clunky af without high cast speed

#

and the mana cost is unrealistic

crude orbit
unborn hamlet
#

Isn't that runebolt

crude orbit
#

I have no idea

#

I don't remember if he was sorcerer or rm tbh lol

unborn hamlet
#

The way you described it sounds like RM runebolt

crude orbit
#

yeah it just like got wider the further out it went until it encompassed pretty much entire screen and was nuking stuff before it was even on screen

#

it was incredible

weary hamlet
# woeful geyser the rest of tree literally does nothing except craterborn

well it has damage, damage and also damage, but it's not terribly impressive (at least without abusing the belt, for which you still need fireball). It just needs a complete rework to be up to modern design standards of extreme power level, extreme feature bloat, and extreme amounts of beneficial bugs that are common for all new classes

woeful geyser
#

yes

#

if u compare the skill tree of meteor to chtonic fissure

#

the design philosophy difference is laughable

if you are building frostbite, you gotta deck in uniques from head to toes

and the chance on chest and helmet

weary hamlet

weary hamlet
#

might be your best bet at survivability if your build doesn't have any spammable skill

crude orbit
#

do u need like multiple LP to make it work, would hte base uniques be enough or would i be missing to many valuable affixes with base uniques

#

i have limited options rn so i have to work with what i have until ihave the gear to swap lol

#

i feel like equipping a bunch of uniques without resistances on the affixes would just bring all my resistances to near 0 instantly lol

That build looks like it requires the set weapon+helm

Coz u are doing meteor fire>lightning conversion

prime fable
# woeful geyser Cast on crit meteor or self cast (?)

meteor only casts on crit. mana strike procs meteor. mana strike procs frost claw that also crit meteor. static proc meteor too every second it hits an enemy and mana strike also applies static so u have 4 sources to crit meteor

i suppose i could temporarily shift my build to fireball setup using craterborn to atleast be able to kill stuff

i have a really disgusting chest i managed to get +4 to ascendancy with, would that be good?

weary hamlet
#

Focus with teleport is a meme and I hate it so I'd drop it entirely, drop black hole too, and then depending on how much mana you will be using up with craterborn build (probably not a lot if you reduce the cost of fireball) you have a couple options for the fifth skill

royal dock
weary hamlet
#

or you could go with mana strike or focus for mana regen and reallocate some nodes in fireball into more damage

crude orbit
#

i have 0 cost on fireball atm but i don't have any points into the pierce one that ups the cost by 33%

#

however if i drop black hole then my mana issues would go away almost entirely

weary hamlet
crude orbit
weary hamlet
#

that said, you can get 6 mana back per cast with the passive after craterborn in meteor

those are the stats on the chest I found/forged earlier today do you think that's good enough to warrant taking ascendancy or should i still use something else

does anyone know if Ice Barrier (shatter-strike) stacks? "You are granted armor for 4 seconds after hitting a frozen enemy"

Are multi element mage builds viable?

tri-elemental nova build is a thing, but i dunno if its good

Used the temporal sanctum for the first time, didnt know the exalted item needed to have four stats
thought I was being smart removing the 3 unwanted stats 😄

#

got lucky with the reduced crit dmg/armor on chest, hope that helps a bit together with the armor blessing

the online guides aren't reliable since some of them are out of date

But

#

You need 2 speficic affixes one is mana and the other one i forgot rn

#

And i think it is mana before health?

"Using Rune of Ascendance on Runed Visage that has Mana and Damage Dealt to Mana Before Health prefixes with 21+ total affix tiers"
is what lastepochtools says

I tried watching a youtube video of someone making it but they failed so I can only rely on folks here hahaha

#

what build is that thing used for

#

no ward sounds uff in the current meta

lyric topaz
#

Sorcerer mana strike spark build with high endurance

#

Think highest/best build rn for sorcerer on ranks right now. Quite strong and havent died for a few days after finishing the build myself

wraith mica
#

I've been trying to work towards that but the gearing is very specific and has been hard to put together

lyric topaz
#

Yeah took me like 20 hours if not more to get the 4 uniques.

#

Also make sure to put the affixes needed on the loot filter makes it a lot easier.

I've gotten so many lp1 cheese drops, just want an lp2 to drop

After finishing all the gear ill be rerunning all for lp2+

next elk
#

trying to farm the unique fire idol from the stolen lane mono
that thing just wont drop

#

feel like CoF is missing something to boost boss drop rates a bit

wraith mica
#

how good is the throne?

#

I'm assuming its great for bosses since it's up to a 1.4x multi

eager silo
#

mmm.. now i undecided on sorcer vs runemaster for this ignite build

#

sorcerer has inferno and elemental ascendance

#

meteor and blackhole

#

vs runemaster 30% elemental damage and 10% cast speed. Brand of Deception, Decree of the Burning Wind

green pike
#

So I'm trying to do something clever with elemental nova. I MUST use Teleport, Elemental Nova, Flame Ward, Runic Invocation for my setup leaving one slot for a skill to invest in...any ideas for something that is auto-cast/cast on X or wahtever to toss on top of my build?

eager silo
#

meteor is 75% fire penetration

next elk
#

the last time I played nova was with the multiplayer release. think it was with focus for a quick mana top up
Not a auto cast though

green pike
next elk
#

there is a nova sorc build on maxroll
might be good atleast for some inspiration

green pike
#

Oh, interesting, it isnt using the helm I have, cool

#

Thanks btw @next elk

next elk
#

wait what

#

what helm did you get

#

if its not ashens crown

green pike
#

Called "Crest of Unity"

#

quite cool

next elk
#

ah interesting. though I think being able to move the nova is probably preferable

green pike
#

its a node on the nova tree, easy pickup

next elk
#

there is also a different chest that has some nova stats

green pike
#

yeah, I saw that, level 77 required level, just hit 65 I think, just slow going the campaign but I want to try to get it

There's people that have killed exiled mages 4 times sub 100 corruption that have a ladle with 4 LP yet The Curse having grinded exiled mages over a thousand times by now, a bit over half of those above corruption 500 and a bit over 100 of them at 1000+ corruption still doesn't have a 4 LP ladle.

It means that random is random

Well for some reason the Devastor node in Runbebolt doesn't add area tag even though it adds an aoe explosion, would you say that's a bug or intended behavior?

hi, quick question for sorc and RM, do you think it is more valuable to go for 2h staff or wand/sceptre+book?

depends on your build, but most direct damage builds that don't need a staff specifically will opt for the 6% flat crit offhand

anyone can help me with my runemaster plasma orb build?

jolly gyro
#

Hello my fellow mages, i'm levelling a Spellblade atm and i'm positively surprised how fast he is!
I'm using Mana Strike with the Mana Storm perk, so more or less only RMB, still at low level (30) so it works out, little Static on top to finish of the Rest
I got way more Mana than I could spend - atm i'm using it by spamming Glacier on bigger Enemies, high dmg, high mana cost, close to perfect filler, but I wonder - are there other Alternatives?
The one thing I dislike on Glacier is the Cast time, is there any Skill that can be used as a BIG dmg but BIG Mana cost (and Cooldown, but I dont care) Mana spender?
Tried to look into Shatter Strike but that one seems more like a spamable Skill with many medium dmg hits, I rather spam Mana Strike and every now and then the big Mana Spender big Dmg Skill

#

tl;dr:
whats a big mana spender for Spellblade except for Glacier?

subtle cipher
#

once you build into shatter strike it will become a big mana spender lol

tawny orbit
#

Man I really like Runestone for Runebolt means I'm getting double casting runebolt and each one can hit the same target, does mean more mana usage though since I went for the explosion

#

Although with the double cast not sure I'll need extra projectiles aswell since the skill can't shotgun

weary hamlet
# jolly gyro Hello my fellow mages, i'm levelling a Spellblade atm and i'm positively surpris...

why would you choose to use glacier to dump mana instead of shatter strike? You generally build melee stats on sb and your passives have synergies with melee skills, not with spells. Anything works at low level but you'll start seeing the damage of your glacier plummeting at higher levels as you don't build to scale it. If you want to go with procced spells, the mana expenditure from the various procs in mana strike, static, frost claw etc will be more than enough.

Is imbued runestone worth it?

sure, it's not that rare, + skill affixes have a higher chance of appearing on it

#

maybe you can roll a t7 just within 50 relics

ruby bluff
#

hmm

tawny orbit
#

Since I've gone for devastator and imbued runestone do you think I'll also need extra projectiles on rune bolt?

jolly gyro
#

thx for all the Spellblade tips, holy, so many possibilities

zinc canyon
#

Is there any sort of huge frost crit build for mage?

weary hamlet
#

other than glacier which isn't very huge, probably not

zinc canyon
#

dam

weary hamlet
#

but you can play one punch man paladin and pretend real hard that it's a frost crit mage

#

pro: you get 10m+ crits

#

cons: not frost and not a mage

zinc canyon
#

I have been playing net bleed build on my rogue and wanted to try something that was big hits

tawny orbit
#

Nothing does a bigger one hit than judgement paladin, it's crazy

weary hamlet
#

but on the flip side, you will be playing mana stacking static orb

tawny orbit
#

If only meteor could be converted to cold

zinc canyon
#

Dude if mage had generic access is a frost melee ability holy crap

#

could get a melee runemaster working

#

I got semi close to getting something rolling but there was such a big gap for a frost melee attack

#

was real fun too

#

x3 flame reaver then such a huge burst from invocation

hushed sigil
#

I really wish we had some mage passive that converted base skill elements more

tawny orbit
#

It's hard to get a proper cold build going for any class in my opinion, the nearest is cold minion necro

weary hamlet
#

it's not that hard tbh, it's just that frostbite is a good 2/3 of all cold builds and it relies on uniques way too heavily

hushed sigil
#

Actually

zinc canyon
#

frostbite?

tawny orbit
#

Cold minion necro is on my list to do. I also want to do a cold MM at some point focusing on using explosive trap to trigger detonating arrow, think that would be fun

zinc canyon
#

I also wanted to play squirrel gang but it requires a specific helm 😦

tawny orbit
#

Actually doing MM with cold decoy to draw mobs to the explosive traps that then do detonating arrow does sound like a fun playstyle

I'm still going with my trusty "i stole everyone's idea" RM build using brands/ignites/RI spam/spark charges

90% crit avoidance? I too, like to get one shot 10% of the time. But for 90% of the time, you avoid crits all the time.

Is crit avoidance essentially the same as crit reduction at 100%?
