[neon lynx]

But no dagger

[quasi carbon]

why couldnt i chose grad resolve of humanity blessing doing reign of dragons empowered boss??

[neon lynx]

Is he just using 2 spammable?

[raw tartan]

Y pretty much, LB for echos frostclaw for bossing

FastAF on youtube. Also a showcase video at 1k corr on it

[neon lynx]

Would be curious to know what kind of wards he’s seeing

Without the rings or belt

[raw tartan]

Around 20k single target

Thats with the current setup tho

I mean eceareon is easy to get as long as u don't need the LP on it

16 int won't do too much when you're already at 120 ig

[neon lynx]

Those wards are scary

[quasi carbon]

can u pls tell me what blessing i should pick? here

[neon lynx]

He’s running around in echos at like 3-4K

[raw tartan]

Ohh yeah, i also wondered how he lived that, even tho 2 of his res also really suck 😂

Meanwhile i got 8k in town lul

But therefore my dps is kinda meh

[neon lynx]

I run around in echos at 10-15k ish

And 40kish on bosses like I said

[raw tartan]

I can just got over 10k at single target, but lvl 87 still, so i got some passives left to skill

[neon lynx]

My big thing is I’m not sure exactly how spark works

Like I know. Puts a dot on. Dot goes boom big damage

[raw tartan]

I also asked this earlier

Gimme a sec

[neon lynx]

But does ele nova and lightning blast proccing more spark actually increase damage a lot

Idk if u can stack them or not

[subtle cipher]

So what’s better. For RM? Static orb or hydrahedron

[neon lynx]

Cuz it’s random what u get

[raw tartan]

There you go @neon lynx read a bit over and below the text to get the context. i linked you the explanation

[neon lynx]

I think spark charge is different from spark

O mayb not

Ah.

[raw tartan]

I specced myself today from 100% chance into about 177% spark charge chance and it nearly doubled my dmg

[neon lynx]

More applications = more charges = more damage

[rocky anvil]

Just to clear some confusion, spark charge is not a dot and does not benefit from passives or equipment that boost damage over time

[neon lynx]

From what he said

[winter crow]

Nice to see ppl starting to catch up on spark charge builds

[raw tartan]

Yes

[winter crow]

rn im using an ele nova variance for fast clear and having no problems in 1500 corr

[neon lynx]

So me applying it in so many ways. And then hard scaling the damage from enigma

[neon lynx]

Should in theory work

[winter crow]

similar to what you guys are running

[neon lynx]

Hide yo resistances

[raw tartan]

I just don't want to use runic invocation tbh 😂😂😂

[neon lynx]

Neos gonna come for yo booty

When u use the static one it’s just another spell on ur bar

No thought. Just hit it when it’s off cd

[winter crow]

its automated, you just need to press it every 15 sec

I use inmutable order

without runic inv, you can't mantain high ward as easily

[neon lynx]

Have u tried what I’m doing pip?

I’m curious how it’s gonna hold up

[winter crow]

nope

ik dagger is mana cost heavy

[neon lynx]

Yeah

[winter crow]

thats why I use mad lad

[neon lynx]

That’s why I got the mountain boots on lol

Only way I can sustain it on bosses

[winter crow]

the thing is that you cant move with that

yeah

[neon lynx]

Bosses are the only thing I struggle to sustain with

[winter crow]

I like running at 127% ms and blasting thorugh echoes

[neon lynx]

And for the most part u can stand still against them

Just flame dash around to reposition

[winter crow]

yeah its a diff playstyle I guess

[neon lynx]

I just wanted to cook up something different tbh lol

I just copied some meta build for warlock and got bored real quick

So wanted that to not happen again 😂

[winter crow]

lol

I also got inspired by a build and put my own twist

with ele nova

cuz the clear speed is amazing

[neon lynx]

Yeah. Same. The enigma ele nova videos

[raw tartan]

The ele nova build stuttering or is it good performance wise? Also interested in that build but wasn't sure

[neon lynx]

Gave me a semi

And I had to try it lol

[neon lynx]

It’s iffy. Usually it’s good

If I hit a big pack my whole game freezes lol

[winter crow]

its not bad for me, just remove screen shake

and lower settings if needed

[neon lynx]

1080ti gamer. Them settings already low

[raw tartan]

That's turned off at default by me 😅

[hardy loom]

wew 3rd steps of the living boots finally got the movespeed slam

[raw tartan]

2080S enjoyer here

[neon lynx]

I need to upgrade soon

Trying to put it off until the 50 series

[raw tartan]

Still running highest settings besides detail shadows

Funny thing is my GPU runs by far the highest temp in the character select screen 😂😂😂

But i've read that several times in here already

Mostly 4-5°C more as ingame lol

[tawny orbit]

Got my first unique idol drop and it's Unvar's Hegemony :/

[raw tartan]

@winter crow single target also good speed or is it just an aoe beast?

[raw tartan]

I wasted like 40k favor for a unique idol boss drop, since i didn't know anything when i started playing 🙃

[neon lynx]

Single targets great

Spark hits like a truck

[winter crow]

yeah its good, not the highest possible but you wont die in 1hit so its worth

I had more dps with my ice frostclaw build but had like 1/4 of the tankiness so I couldnt tank 1k+ corr

[raw tartan]

Ohh yeah for sure, i started as a blast rain marksman with 100k+ dps and got quite some oneshots even at 250corr before i switched it up

So my dps didn't do any at all when im dead 😅

[neon lynx]

Pip does the bottom left hand corner of runics tree actually do anything for reowyns?

[winter crow]

It gives a chance to double proc

if it double procs = more ward

[neon lynx]

Hmm

[winter crow]

its not mandatory but nothing else to spend points lol

[neon lynx]

Should try it. I took all the points for more ward on use and cooldown instead

[winter crow]

cooldown is not needed at all

the shield lasts 15 sec

[neon lynx]

More ward if u use it more often 😄

[winter crow]

I mean ye, but you also lose ward from not attacking

and dps loss

[neon lynx]

I just hold down the button when it’s off cd while attacking and it seems like there’s barely if any pause for it

Maybe it’d be more noticeable with more cast speed

[winter crow]

yeah it is

I get to like 210-220% cast speed

[livid coyote]

Does necromancer have any good 1-2 summon builds? Like not spamming an army but rather a few powerful ones?

[neon lynx]

My dagger effed me and I haven’t gotten another chance to slam one yet

[winter crow]

oh rip

[neon lynx]

Lp3 and it pulled both suffixes

Missed the cast speed lol

[winter crow]

rip

oh thats why you have low cast speed

[neon lynx]

Yee

[winter crow]

mad lad gives 1% per 2 int

[neon lynx]

Plus it’s just gonna be lower by default with no laddle

[winter crow]

yeah

[trim imp]

how long should it take to kill the bosses?

[neon lynx]

3 level 100 characters and I haven’t dropped anything above a lp1 laddle

[trim imp]

feel my build is fairly strong, but i might be missing st dmg

[neon lynx]

If I ever drop one and get a decent slam on it I’ll try it lol

[winter crow]

thats why I went mg, I just bought 3lp ones and slammed until I got what I wanted XD

[neon lynx]

Next cycle I’ll be mg

But new league soon and I cba to relevel a faction 😂

it feels fun to play but..

[neon lynx]

Probably better than playing an actual spellblade 😂

[zinc canyon]

Speak of the devil, I just got tome of elements lmao

LMAO

FAIR

jfc

It feels really good to play, but dmg is dogshit

You have to stack elemental damage lol

[quasi carbon]

i see

[spice rivet]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzAsCYE5SA is there a way to see what stats these can roll?

[steep tangle]

any affix that can roll on a ring

just think of it like a random legendary slam

Including experimental/personals?

[steep tangle]

there are no experimental affixes on rings

[spice rivet]

Oh right

[steep tangle]

and idk what you mean by personals

[steep tangle]

are you doing health or ward

this seems mixed

[spice rivet]

It is, I haven't decided 100% yet, but I'm leaning toward ward

[prime fable]

ward is the way to go

i got 5.2k ward rn

[steep tangle]

whichever you choose probably move the support for the other in your passives

[spice rivet]

For sure, yeah

[steep tangle]

grab a twisted heart, drop support for endurance

[spice rivet]

What benefits does low life ward give you? Permanent uptime on Endurance? Or does it not work like that

[steep tangle]

doesn't work like that

only damage to your health gets the benefit from endurance

[spice rivet]

ahhh

so low life doesn't matter, just use twisted heart?

[steep tangle]

its an alternative.

twisted heart uses leech to give you high ward in combat but 0 ward outside of it basically, requires you to always be casting and scales ward with your cast speed

low life needs a way to disable leech, but you gain the ward gain at all times

[neon lynx]

Low life gives u the benefit from all the mods

That give a % of missing health as ward

[next lance]

Cannot get a box of hydrea to drop for the life of me

[spice rivet]

ty for the answers!

How does Crest of Unity work, exactly? Does it do the damage of all 3 novas added together? Or the damage that one would do, then split into all 3 elements?

[gilded marten]

Is it possible to get volcanic orb down to 0 cooldown?

[limpid drum]

Why do runemasters not spec into elementalist ? isnt the 7% boost good for each tier?

[neat flame]

bc its only 7% inc dmg for a skill point

[limpid drum]

i mean 7x8 is i guess its too much point investment then?

[neat flame]

inc dmg% is rarely ever a stat you need to go out of your way to get, any decent build will have hundreds% easily

its just worthless compared to getting anything else on the tree like int, ward retention, cast speed etc

[limpid drum]

i see

thanks

was planning on making a build around lightning blast

saw an insane build

[neat flame]

even more reason to not take it, lb takes a node that gives 15% dmg/ 40%crit on each cast

[limpid drum]

ah perfect

[blissful kite]

why is it that every build I think of sucks in the end?

I feel this game has a lot of build variety if you are not in corruption 200... by then, few things are viable

[livid coyote]

Are there any 1-2 summon builds ?

[neat flame]

skill issue 200c is a joke

[safe yew]

Is anyone tested builds by some invocation except plasma orb and gydra?=)) aergon mirror bolt may be?

[eager kite]

hello i'm new to the spellblade and i'm trying the flame reave build but i'm not liking it so does someone has recommendation on any other build i could try ?

[blissful kite]

would you give advice on my build?

[neat flame]

no

[quasi carbon]

when im doing a timeline boss, it doesnt reset the web right?

i mean the one from the quest

[neat flame]

no, only doing ourobyss resets the web (in empowered, idr about normal)

[blissful kite]

very nice of you 👍

[spice rivet]

Is 3% Spell Damage Leeched as Life enough to support Twisted Heart? Or should I just use Bleeding Heart amulet isntead?

[neat flame]

ya

[spice rivet]

To which

[neat flame]

first

[spice rivet]

Ty

[frozen sleet]

Are there any items in game that turn health into mana?

Kind of like twisted heart but instead of ward grants you mana instead

[naive parcel]

Does Vilatrias storm crown give the set bonus on its own (lighting dmg per point of int) or does it have to be with full set to get this bonus?

[gilded marten]

You need 2 pieces 🙂

[naive parcel]

Not understanding why this build im following uses this but not other item in set.

[dark wraith]

For those of you playing Shatter Strike, how do you handle the Mana Cost? This build has it at 42 and I spend more time Mana Striking to build mana back up it seems..

[naive parcel]

ty

[midnight beacon]

Hey what's better flame rush or telport

[raw tartan]

Dmg wise flame rush, but i hate how long it takes to travel with it

Runic invocation converted to traversal is actually the best speedwise. If you don't need the dmg of flamerush, can't skill into it or need runic invocation for your buildmechanic go teleport.

[eager kite]

https://tenor.com/view/invincible-that's-the-neat-part-you-don't-gif-14180388429135427516

[dark wraith]

LOL I figured that was the answer

[eager kite]

no in all honesty i don't know haven't played enough spellblade

[spice rivet]

can you link build?

[midnight beacon]

Hey I'm playing fireball and use the runic for more dmg if that's the right thing to do

[abstract abyss]

Does Freezing Point changing Armor Shred chance to Frostbite chance for spells mean that if I have Armor Shred on my weapon it has that much frostbite chance for my spells, or am I missing something?

[spice rivet]

Okay, changed some things for my self cast ele nova build. Anyone have any more advice? This is with 0LP T20 gear https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/BZ3k9Llo

[limpid drum]

im kinda confused.. i see so many videos abt ppl using lightning blast and frost claw together but checking the ladders i see only very few use them together

[hidden magnet]

is there a known bug with fireball ? I should release more projectiles but it still only shoots one fireball xd

[raw tartan]

Arena has pretty much nothing to do with monoliths

[limpid drum]

ahh okay i see

[raw tartan]

In arena u can do some nasty stuff like camping in corner for several hours oneshotting everything before it sees you and such stuff... It kind of resembels monolith builds but i wouldn't go for a build just because its high on the ladder (also some major exploiting)

[spice rivet]

Are they using one of those skills to autocast the other? If so, they probably won't have the 2nd skill on their hotbar

[raw tartan]

You mean the mana strike setup i think, that's another build

For arena elemental nova should be superior i guess? Since aoe everything after they spawn

[limpid drum]

i honestly just wanna melt bosses

on runemaster

[spice rivet]

huh?

[limpid drum]

https://prnt.sc/m8Pvz3IyxQxF im liking this setup alot

[raw tartan]

LB + frostclaw does not procc each other

[limpid drum]

frostclaw sparkcharge nova

[raw tartan]

Mana strike proccs frostclaw which proccs LB trough a unique

And if someone would play frostclaw + LB with dragorath's claw... Well that's pretty stu...

Since u lose quite some cast speed and stuff

[hidden magnet]

Uhm i have several +Projectiles skilled for my Fireball but im only shooting 1 Fireball lol

[raw tartan]

Maybe skilled "unchained fire" in the fireball tree?

Or anything that counteracts your projectiles?

U can also search for keywords in the passive tree tho

[hidden magnet]

Im stupid af thanks

[raw tartan]

Np 😂

[limpid drum]

this class is so complicated

jesus

[raw tartan]

But the ward goes brrrrr 🏎️

[limpid drum]

thats why i love the class

but well im only lvl 15 and thinking about builds already

lmao

[raw tartan]

I farmed monoliths since lvl 20-23 with runemaster since it's so tanky 😂

Had some gear from my main hoarding in my stash tho tbf

Runic invocation just looks pretty impossible to understand when you first see it 😅

[finite canyon]

Has anyone tried a fire/lightning hybrid spellblade?

[raw tartan]

Also think mage, especially runemaster has some of the most versatile buildtypes in relation to other classes who maybe got like 3-4 viabke builds

[finite canyon]

I had this wild idea in my head to cosplay pontiff from ds3 and I'm doing 0 dmg lol

[raw tartan]

Sounds like "liath's machinations" (unique gloves) could work for you

Uses fireball mostly tho 50% converted to lightning dmg / other 50% stay fire

But not sure if it's an good idea on spellblade 😅

[safe grail]

That’s not viable on spellblade lol

[trim imp]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/AKg0z43A any1 know how i can scale my st dmg better? or if i should just reroll to another build. takes me like 3-4minutes to kill bosses atm, and it just takes so long even if i do not die.

yeah I don't want to use fireball xd

[raw tartan]

Well first of all, why is frostclaw and LB on your skillbar when you're playing with manastrike and dragorath's? 😅

[trim imp]

they are not on my skill bar, i have lvls in them because they get triggered by other things

[raw tartan]

And you're missing a ton of intelligence

[raw tartan]

Mb, looked on wrong bar 🤦🏻‍♂️

I think im playing pretty much your same build atm

Int will boost your dmg the most, since spark charge scales off it trough enigma

And you could reach well over 100 int

Do you also use your potion for attack speed? Makes also quite some difference

[trim imp]

yes, i use my potion for attack speed

[raw tartan]

Well int is low a bit tho

How much chance to apply spark charge tho?

[trim imp]

can i see that somewhere?

[raw tartan]

You can apply several charges if you got high enough of a chance

[raw tartan]

Not really, gotta calculate

[hollow palm]

https://imgur.com/SDDZnyO thoughts for fireball sorcerer?

[raw tartan]

Mana strike gives 100% spellblade passive tree 25% and idols + gear (i think only helmet) can also give u a chance

[red smelt]

im kinda stuck guys. i am level 75, just reset everything and want to start a good build. anyone got any tips on a good build foe runemaster?

[raw tartan]

This all together highrolled can give you 200% chance, realistically doubling your dps

But yeah this build won't be a dps powerhouse anyway. More on the tanky side i think

[raw tartan]

I've seen trough it... U miss 2 on idol and 1 helmet for spark charge chance

[trim imp]

yeah, farming for them, picking every idol node i can find

[raw tartan]

I assume you went full maxroll guide? Saw your skilling

[trim imp]

yes

[raw tartan]

Get rid of that useless knockback chance in mana strike and go for +5 more attack speed, also just put 2 points in range and the rest into global incresed spell damage

U won't die without the knockback if your ward is high enough and your resists capped

The runemaster passive tree itself is also unoptimized

[trim imp]

what would you change in the runemaster tree?

[raw tartan]

https://imgur.com/a/RTHgeH5

This is dmg oriented, went without the +movement speed since it costs 5 point to invest into

[trim imp]

do we directly use lightning skills, to trigger runeword hurricane?

[quasi carbon]

whats more annoying dungeon or arena for proohecys? i need to block 1 content with lens

[trim imp]

probly due to mana strike being made into lightning

[raw tartan]

Yeah your mana strike is one

U have it up 90% if u put 2 points into it its up 100%

[hollow palm]

https://imgur.com/sGPeoss holy cracked weavers will RNG

[raw tartan]

Celestial doom was also completly ignore on maxroll instead they went for 2 more points on "ward when castin spell" which does literaly nothing since mana strike is melee tag and not a speel even after we skilled it into range

[trim imp]

2 points in range? is that sprite blade?

[raw tartan]

Im also looking for more dmf atm but still lvl 89 tho. Gearwise playing completly same setup

[raw tartan]

Ffs i meant radius not range sry

The thing where the put 4 points to skill into knockback... Not on my pc atm

[trim imp]

cool, ill give it a shot.

[raw tartan]

Its a lil bit more dmg but not huge, the runeword helps quite a bit tho

And don't forget to stack your int. This will give you the most dmg profit for spark charge

+10 int can make 1-2k tooltip dmg difference for example

Also your choice if u want the movementspeed after traversal skill use. For me i don't need it since im just making meters with teleport and we're not a speedfarmer anyway

[molten plinth]

skill respeccing is really a problem in this game, one node allows for single target boss dps, but another for the crowd/mobs clearing, you cannot even switch it on fly, and it makes playstyles very constricted

[trim imp]

do you have less points than me spent in spellblade/sorcerer or base tree?

[raw tartan]

Nah i didn't change them. Can't do anything else there sadly

[trim imp]

ah, didnt notice you had two less points in arcane focus than me aswell

[raw tartan]

Doesn't matter too much if those 2 points go into arcane focus or ancient inscriptions. Both giving same amount int

Just didn't want it in arcane focus since the second effect of it is useless for us

But at the end of the day those 2 points will give you 2 int, no matter in which one of them u put them

Got the same problem with single target atm. It's fine in echos. But echobosses can take quite a while sometimes

But hey, at least we can facetank 😅

I assume you're also critting 100% all the time? (Don't need 100% crit in the charactersheet for that)

[trim imp]

feels that way atleast

hard to tell if all of them are crits

[raw tartan]

Mostly using this build to farm for another build, which then suits high corruption

I also didn't see armor shred or lightning penetration on your gear. This could help with bossfights

Armor shred effects elemental resistances too at some point

"Chance To Shred Armour on Hit: Each stack of this Ailment reduces enemy Armour by 100 for 4 seconds and stacks infinitely. Enemies have 0 Armour by default and it can go into the negatives. At -1000 Armour a target takes 16.5% increased Lightning Damage, while at -4000 Armour it takes 40%."

[trim imp]

have the blessing for lightning resistance shredding

[raw tartan]

This doesn't affect armor afaik

Optimally you want both to shred

More or less double dipping this way

But i still gotta find out myself some things regarding this build

[trim imp]

the changes you suggested do feel good to play with tho

[raw tartan]

👍🏻

[trim imp]

shaved about a minute off, on same boss, same corruption

[raw tartan]

Some ppl think the knockback is good for high corruption so that enemys can't reach you but i think it's more annoying then helpful for now. Thats maybe a subject to change later on. You could also specc into 3/3 ward on hit in mana strike tree if you want even more ward. (Simply unspecc 2 points from radius and 1 of global increased dmg for that setup)

[raw tartan]

Glad to help and get some feedback. My runemaster is just some days old and i'm new to the class ( more or less new to the game)

[marble plank]

Is this a good build anyone help? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/la6DZ7LsISg

[raw tartan]

Goddamn, you got me with that one

[haughty urchin]

LAAAST EPOOCH

davaj

[midnight beacon]

Hey do I need dodge rating

Or is armor better

[quasi carbon]

did i delete my good weapon by dropping it at monolith base and then going into an echo???

[raw tartan]

Yep, 100%

[raw tartan]

I would go for armor. I'm not sure if we can scale high dodge like druid oder bladedancer

It's not worth to go for like anything below 50% dodge chance imo

[quasi carbon]

gg

[raw tartan]

Also don't do stuff or even look at your gear when it's laggy

In case you got it on your cursor out of inventory or char and you get a dc... Byebye item

[dry apex]

anyone know, box of hydrae, the area of effect mod. What does it specifically apply to?

• area of the explosion of the hits
• area of the target seeking range
• area of the initial explosion?
• all of the above?

[raw tartan]

There should be some stash -mailing system i think. I'm also annoyed when some uniques drop in the same moment im dying. Can see them but will never ever be able to pick them up

Thats quite one of the single things d4 did good lmao

[sturdy imp]

So, I'm on my runemaster. Still learning this game I'm using frost claw as my main damage source. If choosing between spell damage and elemental damage which one should be prioritized and why? Or is it simply whichever % is higher?

[raw tartan]

Higher one but there's a huge difference in "added" and "increased" dmg

[sturdy imp]

Well yeah, increased is a percentage of your current total, added goes on top.

[raw tartan]

Yeah, your increased scales off your total (base + added)

[sturdy imp]

I guess what I'm saying is if it's 10% spell damage increase, vs 10% elemental damage increase, is there a difference? Assuming the spell is an elemental spell.

[raw tartan]

No. But the elemental would help builds more who use hybrid dmg types

[trim imp]

as long as the ability has both spell and either frost/lightning/fire tags on them, no

[dry apex]

difference is if you have other sources of more spell/ele damage

but I guess in your case, you are always using a spell that has elemental tag

so no real difference

[sturdy imp]

okay so i have frost claw, with lava talon. Tags are fire, spell, area, intelligence. Is the "Fire" tag covered under elemental?

[trim imp]

yes

[dry apex]

I think elemental is just fire lightning cold in less words

[sturdy imp]

Roger

I've been following a maxroll build loosely as i learn the game. Playing around with Runic invocation combos

[raw tartan]

Take those guides with a pinch of salt. There are other/better ways to play the same build

[sturdy imp]

I noticed that on my sentinel. I'm finding rive much more fun than javelin

[midnight beacon]

I've just been using the big fireball from runic invocation but with normal fireball I'm doing over 1.2k dmg it says and I'm level 28

[sturdy imp]

This particuler build is using frost claw as main damage but as i said I've been playing around with the runes

[raw tartan]

Also some resistances or other stats can be freely changed around on different slots. For example you don't need physical resistance a 100% on your globes if u can also have it on your rings

So don't follow a guide at 100% statwise

[sturdy imp]

I'm definitely not

Mostly just a loose guideline rather than feeling around in the dark.

[raw tartan]

That's the best way

[sturdy imp]

Just want a rough direction to go in rather than waste my time on something useless y'know?

[raw tartan]

Yeah, i started to play 4 days before release 😂

Didn't play anything besides diablo franchise in the ARPG genre

[midnight beacon]

Neos can I dm u

[raw tartan]

Sure

[sturdy imp]

I tried Diablo before, didn't really love it, and i work too much to learn PoE

I work at sea so I'm gone for a little over 2 months at a time so i just don't have the time to learn all that and retain it

[raw tartan]

Same same, PoE was never my thing. Tried it but nah

[dry apex]

tbh you can't really 'try' POE

its either something you commit to or not

[sturdy imp]

That's what i found

[raw tartan]

It felt like a crafting simulator tbh

Crafting is fun and all but not at that level

LE is the perfect middleway for me so far

I tried at least every halfway known arpg so far but this ones my favorite since d3

[sturdy imp]

I've been enjoying the heck out of this one so far

but it's only been like 3 or 4 days

[hardy loom]

holy i should have crafted a haste boots for my runemaster earlier

122ms with wrongwarp zoooomin

is there T7 movespeed? only seen T6 with 25%

[raw tartan]

There should be t7 of everything afaik?

[atomic heart]

guys, is frostclaw considered channeling?

[hardy loom]

hmm

hope i can find a T7 movespeed boots

[raw tartan]

No

[hardy loom]

so i can craft T5 haste affix

[atomic heart]

ok, ty

[raw tartan]

Look at the tags, they will tell you @atomic heart

Desintegrate would be a channel tho

But don't forget that some skillpoints could change the tags of the spells

[dry apex]

LE crafting is so not fun, for me, because of how random FP is

you can hit your order glyph 6 times in a row

and be able to divine it

or it can brick after 2

and you don't even have T20

[paper plover]

guys whats your opinion on Chance to Shred Armor on Lightning Blast RM ? Do i need to have it on 2 pieces or 1 is enough ? how effective is it ?

[hardy loom]

get it on ur amulet and glove or at least amulet

[raw tartan]

Not 100% sure but more % gives you better chance to shred more stacks. But resistances are shreded in stacks and not percentages if that makes any sense

So theres not like 1,25 stacks of armor shreded. Its either way 1 stack or 2 stack

You also don't need super high chances or can go below 100% if you're having fast enough attack speed tho

Gonna sleep now, 2am here 🤯
See ya tomorrow fellow wardenjoyer

[paper plover]

Yea i have crazy attack speed

[paper plover]

yea i have it on amulet and weapon, was wondering if gloves would be necessary. hybrid health is mandatory but if im able to cap elemental res without stats on gloves ill have a free slot which can i have either a 3rd stack of Armor Shred or something like flat armor or armor+reduced dmg from crit strikes

[hardy loom]

doubt u need shred on many pieces unless u doing the shred>frostbite conversion

[paper plover]

same question goes for chance to shock. how much is too much ? I have around 70% with weapon and amulet

[abstract abyss]

I am going to do shred to frostbite. Is it viable for high corruption or is it just a weaker version of poiso

[vague cargo]

whats the best affix to increased damage for ignite?
I'm playing with fireball ignite.. that only hv fire, spell and int.
for what i know spell and int doesnt affect ignite

[hardy loom]

viable ofc

freezing is very good for high corruption

until they release elemental reflect modifers 💀

[icy umbra]

the more specific the damage affix the higher it should roll

you can get also fire pen on weapon/amulet and getting some ignite duration/cast speed can help max your stacks quicker

[charred wraith]

Can someone explain runebolt conversion to me? Assuming the goal would be cold - fire - fire, would converting fire to cold and cold and lightning to fire give me that order or would only reverse order and lightning to fire achieve that?

[vague cargo]

but for example.. 50 % elemental damage x 50% damage over time its the same? they wi'll give the same amount of damage?

[neat musk]

Hey guys, having issues with flame rush... even on holding key the skill just explodes, moving zero pixels to where mouse is pointing. Some times it works properly, most times it doesn't... =/

anyone having anything similar?

[golden bough]

@neat musk Hi, unfortunately it is known bug and so far no one knows the reason.

[neat musk]

reeeeee

[golden bough]

I have ping 2 and it happens very rarely to me though.

[icy umbra]

the relevant increased damage modifiers are summed together but the first one (ele damage) will also apply to your fireball's hit

[neat musk]

30 to 40 ms here on fiber... bit low grade fiber =/

[icy umbra]

it works pretty well in offline just desync making the server think you let go of the mouse

[hardy loom]

that bug happening to flame rush is why i just use teleport xd

[golden bough]

@neat musk To be honest I believe it's something with a FR itself, the best we can do is to report it in-game and hope it will be recognized and fixed soon.

[neat musk]

runemancer here... I kinda need flame rush for the build. I'll see if I can use teleport without breaking the build

[golden bough]

Considering FR issues, hydra build nerfed once more 😂

[neat musk]

can't change teleport to cold tag... welp

[icy umbra]

what's your normal rotation?

[neat musk]

I use RI for barrier, so I need cold-fire-cold in this order on the bar

[hardy loom]

use flame ward maybe

[neat musk]

there is no needed rotation since immutable order takes the runes straight from hotbar...

[neat musk]

already using it xD

[hardy loom]

xd, what build u going for

This build has a guide:

1.0.1 1000+ Solo Corruption Mad Lightning Runemaster Build Guide (Extensive Timestamps) by Pinchingloaf

[hardy loom]

ah i see

[next lance]

Can anyone briefly tell me what do people do to generate high ward mid late game as mage? Just want to be pointed in the right direction as to what to look at

[golden bough]

Does anyone have a positive experience with hydra build at 1.0.x after the nerfs?

[neat musk]

what specialization?

[next lance]

Intending to just do the strongest one first, cuz wanna play hardcore for the thrill. Runemaster it shd be

But its really tough compared the everything i have dabbled with. Only didnt use druids yet

[neat musk]

the build I posted above is heavy on ward

[next lance]

Yeah but e.g. healing hands is broken for ward gen on pala. Is there a specific source for mage?

I dont need it broken, just need to know what to aim for

[hardy loom]

generally just stacking ward retention, ward gain on hit for passives along with high cast speed, ward / sec , ward threshold stuff will keep u high on ward

[neat musk]

intelligence stack gives you ward retention per point

[next lance]

I see, so actually just ward on hit passives?

I never knew they add up that much. Thanks!!

[hardy loom]

the highest ones normally are from passives

[next lance]

U mean skilltree passives right

[hardy loom]

yea

[neat musk]

each point in inteligence is 4% ward retention... and also scales damage for spells

[next lance]

Okay thanks lots, will take a look. And try to figure

[hardy loom]

other option is uniques like stands of soul and Heart of Uhkeiros

time for another ms slam on snowdrift 🙏🏾

[finite grotto]

anyone doing fire dot build what invocation are we using? is it plasma arc?

[neat musk]

maybe some channeling skill with stygian coal?

or ignivar's head... butt thats desintegrate

[compact cloak]

Flame reave op

[finite grotto]

im still leveling it bit i have calamity and firestarter torch the guide says to use plasma arc but it feels a bit lack luster lol

[wheat nova]

How would one scale Lightning Blast that is converted to cold to deal a ton of damage, when it procs from Disintegrate?

[hardy loom]

woohooo slammed the 25% ms on snowdrift

[neat musk]

dunno, i spam LB because of Spark Charge... that's my damage there 🤩

[livid coyote]

any necro builds that are focused around just 1 or 2 summons?

[neon lynx]

#💀┃acolyte

[rain canyon]

So is the volcanic orb bug back or did it never leave? My orb started to often explode upon cast an hour ago
I am pretty sure its not supposed to do that.

[neat musk]

Flame Rush also ending as soon as it starts, moving you zero pixels. Maybe related?

[rain canyon]

maybe

[sturdy summit]

Is soulfire dungeon boss exit door bugged?

[livid coyote]

thanks!

[vagrant canyon]

Has the Artem’s Offer quest been disabled? I can’t get him to give me the quest for the gambler’s fallacy.

[quasi carbon]

okay whos a frostbite frostclaw gigachad here? i need to share something and need advice

[prisma patio]

Yes, it was disabled until they fix the bug that lets you turn it in infinite times

[prisma tulip]

Are you holding it down? It’s a channeled skill

[subtle cipher]

whats the best starting build for runemaster? doing static orb right now feels meh

[compact cloak]

Frostclaw I guess?

[quasi carbon]

do u know whats better as frostbite frostclaw, cold dmg, cold pen, or damage over time??

[prisma tulip]

Yeah the Maxroll leveling build using frost claw is pretty crazy damage

[compact cloak]

hard to compete with dot during campaign tbh

[idle terrace]

Hi
is attunement important for spell blade?
or int and dex is enough?

can i dm u post screenshot?

can i make a runemaster all elemnts build i don't like the idea of using only one invocation i know it well be less damge but how much is the diffrience realy ?

It's cool, but probably not endgame.

[onyx hinge]

oh mana strike gives mana didn't know that am having mana issues is there way to fix other than this skill? maybe later in endgame

[compact cloak]

I guess you could use runebolt instead?

[neon lynx]

i feel like. this is inaccurate

[compact cloak]

You're free to feel whatever you like

[neon lynx]

"Tier: 1 chance: 1.05"
ive failed this multiple times

shouldnt be possible at 105%

[compact cloak]

[woeful geyser]

Are u sure that ur item is full

[neon lynx]

yes

lol

i always craft everything onto the item before i attempt to seal

cuz i always seem to be lacking despairs

to make sure i dont run out of FP early

[compact cloak]

Dude made the vid 9 months ago, so could have been changed, who knows.

[woeful geyser]

Also I don't know how they can get 105%

How do they have more success than total attempt

[neon lynx]

maybe it can crit and upgrade and seal?

dunno

[compact cloak]

datamine

[neon lynx]

but i know i mald every time i brick an item cuz the t1 seal fails 😂

[woeful geyser]

1.0 patch might have changed the number

[compact cloak]

aye

[woeful geyser]

0.95 just to mess with people

[lime bramble]

For mourningforst, the cold damage added is only relevant to abilities with a cold tag yeah? I'm assuming so, but was wondering why it's recommended on plasma orb runemaster. for cold converted static orbs?

[neon lynx]

no

it adds the cold damage to all spells

[lime bramble]

how does it differ than base spell damage then? a tad confused

[woeful geyser]

It just tacks on a new damage source on ur spell

[neon lynx]

it doesnt scale with non cold boosters if i had to guess

like +lightning damage

[lime bramble]

ahhh

[neon lynx]

etc

[lime bramble]

got it, thanks!

[neon lynx]

should scale all the same with things like ele damage or crit multi tho

[royal dock]

even if there is legendary drop can you still craft without lp?

[compact cloak]

What?

[abstract abyss]

I assume frostbite's dmg doesnt increase with intel

[zinc ibex]

Anyone have a good ranged sorcerer build? Not a fan of rune master mastery. Thanks

[compact cloak]

Only with Damage over time I believe

[compact cloak]

Ele nova can be fun, if you got the ashen crown

[abstract abyss]

Do you think it scales with just cold? I saw a cold damage over time, very specific and didnt seem like it gave more than standard dot.

[compact cloak]

Both, I think.

[quasi carbon]

im doing age oif winter unique echos right now, why i dont get ring/amulett? im getting a bow now

[compact cloak]

Are you sure the echo was for a ring/amulet? The icon for random unique is the same as the ring one.

[strange ingot]

i got a 3lp wrongwarp for my plasma orb build and the build guide doesnt have the best 3 affixes to put on it and i was wondering what i should put on it?

[vagrant canyon]

As a spellblade, when can I duel wield?

[compact cloak]

25 points in

[vagrant canyon]

Thanks

[onyx hinge]

https://imgur.com/a/o6lr2YM does this increases my overall cast speed or only for lighting blast?

[onyx hinge]

and is this the rule for all nodes like this in every skill tree?

[compact cloak]

Just the lightning blast

[neat flame]

cast speed, crit multi, pen

[strange ingot]

tyvm

im guessing cast speed should be the exalted stat?

[neat flame]

cast speed or multi, either is fine. cast speed will feel better but multi is prob more consistent dmg, since you're only really casting 1 plasma orb unless bossing

[strange ingot]

oh i see

appreciate it

[sand oriole]

Help for ENDGAME, Surge or Teleport? (Spellblade Cold)

[dense prairie]

Maybe a dumb question but, just want to be sure, since I know dots can't crit for example, damage over time effects are also effected by things like raw % and base damage, right?

For example, ignite scales with +spell fire dmg, +% Elemental dmg, etc, not just damage over time increases, correct?

[shell orbit]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/planner/0y6eb010 What do you guys think? The resistances are pretty low. Went with the flow here. Ideas?

[elder pewter]

Wanna ask if someone have retry oceareon and feel the 10% more dmg ? some firend tested with frostbite seems not working

[obsidian bear]

What the best mage build atm ? Think i wana try another class just dont wana get undercut by ma friends and gona use a guide this time😅

[viscid kindle]

I'm trying to decide if I want to try and hydrahedron my way through the campaign, or Reowyn's Frostguard Frostclaw

[unborn hamlet]

Spark charge, or plasma orb for big numbers, frostbite frostclaw for being a walking tank, then there is spark charge frostclaw but no official guide to it, something of a middle ground, requires lot of heavy investment tho

Oh wait, asking for a mage in general, can't read, just woke up

Those are all runemaster builds ^

Generally speaking runemaster is the strongest

[unborn hamlet]

Hydradreon was severely nerfed because it was that broken, it still works , but reowyn is s much better build atm

[prime bay]

any reason why the plasma orb build makes runebolt only fire? wouldnt converting the cold to fire be better since you could proc plasma orb with just runebolt

[unborn hamlet]

There is a skill rotation for the runic invocation, and you need specific runes for it, that's why it's converted I believe

But I never really inspected the guide

[fiery swan]

Can someone explain the reowyn build?

[royal dock]

What kinda of chest yall running for leggo on either frost claw or lighting with fc?

[autumn sun]

Anyone know why Flame Rush with the Epilogue node doesn't always cast Runic Invocation (even if I have the mana and runes)? Doesn't say anything about having a cooldown on it...

[idle terrace]

is there a elemental crit multi?

or elemental crit??

[cursive warren]

put a patch out and still cant fix their game. may need to go back to school

[royal dock]

Lol why

[autumn sun]

@idle terrace no there's no crit affixes or passives for elemental crit or elemental crit multi afaik

[idle terrace]

Ok thanks

I'll just go for elem damage and atk speed
since there are also elem damage and elem atk speed implicits

[autumn sun]

spell damage (or melee damage if you're a using melee) gives more damage per tier than elem damage fyi

[idle terrace]

ohh Ok, so I was wrong

thanks

wait is there a 1h sword with spell damage as affix?

[autumn sun]

no idea sorry

[idle terrace]

ok, I'll just look it up

thanks

[autumn sun]

the spell damage affix can only roll on wands, sceptre and 2H staff as far as weapons go, but that's not to say there isn't a unique 1H sword with the affix

[tawny orbit]

Does the doublecast from efficient experiment node work if you take runestone on runebolt?

And if the advice is "you're as bad at building in Last Epoch as you were in PoE", that's fine too, I'll just go back to sticking to following others build guides 😆

[royal dock]

What kinda of chest yall using for frost claw cold or lighting doesn't matter to me

[tawny orbit]

It took me years of playing PoE until I got kind of good at doing builds in PoE and even then it was a pain

[woeful geyser]

Yea because elemental dmg works on elemental ailment, spell damage doesn't.

[idle terrace]

Ok I just checked the flat + spell damage can be added to 1h swords

[spice rivet]

I have over 4500 hours in PoE and I still suck at build creating, I think I'm just a bad player lmao

[autumn sun]

does that include DoT then?

[tawny orbit]

1.9k hours here I gave up the game a couple of years back and don't miss it at all. The game is fun but the amount of issues with it I just couldn't handle the game anymore

[spice rivet]

That's fair. I still love the game and play it every league, just never get to the pinnacle content lol

[woeful geyser]

Yes, elemental dmg affects spell hit, spell hit over time, and ailment as long as they are elemental

[tawny orbit]

Does the doublecast from efficient experiment node work if you take runestone on runebolt?

[elder pewter]

Any though on ocearon lp 1 vs julra lp1 on spark claw

[idle terrace]

so what is the best affix for mana strike and shatter strike? elem damage or spell dmg?

[woeful geyser]

If u are scaling crit, crit multi is still strong

But between ele or spell, just pick whichever rolls the highest

There might be gear restriction on ele and spell dmg shard

[tawny orbit]

You generally want a mix of both ele and spell damage increases though

[woeful geyser]

Aren't both additive

My understanding is that if u cast fireball (spell + fire), and you have 100% inc spell and 100% inc ele, you are doing 300% damage, not 200×200= 400% damage

[wild apex]

i feel like modern poe really nudges you in the right direction wrt creating builds. atleast in terms of passives. for gems, you have to experiment

[elder pewter]

Ele and spell dmg is additional anyway

[tawny orbit]

One of the major issues with PoE is that it's very much balanced around the top 1% of players

[bronze shore]

fr

[spice rivet]

Yup

They don't want an ARPG that's accessible by everyone, they want one that's challenging to the best

Which is fine, there's space for that in this genre. I'm just glad Last Epoch is here to give me a better experience as a casual player

[idle terrace]

I am trying to figure what affixes I need for this build - Mana Strike, Shatter Strike, Flame Ward, will plan to get surge and enchant weapon
I am thinking atk spd, elem dmg or spell dmg

do I need crit multi for this?

[wild apex]

it's the opposite

[tawny orbit]

I'm not saying it needs to be accessible for everyone, but it definitely has elements which are complicated just for the sake of complication

[bronze shore]

i think the (recent?) nerf to CoF it kinda bad

why would they nerf CoF anyway

[woeful geyser]

You prob want melee related affixes as well

[wild apex]

modern poe feels pretty forgiving to me

[idle terrace]

like melee cold dmg, melee lightning damage?

[tawny orbit]

I really can't decide if I want to keep runebolt doing 3 elements or change it to two

[wild apex]

and their reasons for not adding easy trading is that they don't want people to just buy really good gear while leveling

[woeful geyser]

Yea, I believe those have better rolls than the non melee counter part

If u are pure melee, hit base that is

[wild apex]

which is the opposite of catering towards the 1% to me

[tawny orbit]

Problem with the build I'm doing is I'm doing half hit based and half not hit based damage

[woeful geyser]

If u have non melee or non hit base scaling, ele affixes are good

[tawny orbit]

Currently using frostwall to freeze and do DoT, then I have runic while they frozen with the backflip and doublecast and then just spam runebolt, been working well

[bronze shore]

tbf the good gear while leveling should be pausible if u do an alt

[spice rivet]

I didn't realize you could get LP from runes of ascendance.. 2LP Exsanguinous, not bad

[bronze shore]

since your main would buy the gear for your alt

[idle terrace]

Ok then thanks

[bronze shore]

and u can join faction at chap 1 if ur main reach chap 9 faction

[spice rivet]

Yeah, I was glad they added that ability

So you can use CoF gear while levelling

[bronze shore]

no early trading only make it so that to prevent botting put i persume this kinda of prevention would hardly make botter wouldnt do their job

[tawny orbit]

Does anyone know if the doublecast from efficient experiment node on runebolt work if you take runestone on runebolt too?

[spice rivet]

Is there a gambler anywhere besides End of Time? That zone is so laggy

[stiff tide]

doesnt that only work on invocation skils

[autumn sun]

Council chambers, not sure if the gear scales with you or the area though...

[wild apex]

if you have more than 1 elemental nova, is the cast order random or is it a sequence like runebolt?

[tawny orbit]

Nope, it says runebolt now randomly selects element and if you directly cast and if your previous cast was of a different type then you have a chance to double cast upto 20% depending on the number of glyphs of chaos

[spice rivet]

I can test since I'm about to respec anyways

[tawny orbit]

I will say I do really like runestone for runebolt it boosted my damage nicely, since it's doing 2 casts so they can both hit the same target

Which is why I'm hoping efficient experiments works with it as then would be alot of casts

[spice rivet]

Scales with character up to max of level 40 (42?) gear. Thanks for letting me know there was one there, I forgot!

[tawny orbit]

It's weird how when I've looked up builds online no one is using runestone for runebolt

[wild apex]

i've never even thought of trying that node

[autumn sun]

I haven't used it but the mana cost looks high..?

[wild apex]

but i am now

[tawny orbit]

Well you can get mana from attuned recovery node and arcane restoration nodes to help with that

And you'll be taking attended recovery node points to get runeweaver anyway since runeweaver is so good and dissolve and conquer is a no brainer

[autumn sun]

true

[bronze shore]

why mage runemaster early game is like dark soul

i do so much dmg to them and they do so much dmg to me

1 hit and i already lose half of my hp

[wild apex]

how early

[tawny orbit]

Good ward gen comes late with RM is all

[bronze shore]

around 20 ish

i usually wouldnt care about surviability

but im playing on HC here

[wild apex]

there's like a handful of areas in the game

[tawny orbit]

I'm getting ward on hit from my runebolts and there's ward gen in RM tree but both come late

[wild apex]

where theres an enemy that feels like it does 5x damage as everything else

[tawny orbit]

Before I got runebolt I was struggling 100% on my RM

Frostwall with it's freeze definietly helps though

[bronze shore]

early game of mage is really hard since i have to get up close to mana strike

but by doing that im putting myself into danger

[tawny orbit]

Just use fireball or glacier while lvling

[wild apex]

glacier/frost claw carried me

[bronze shore]

i notice there a very op ability RM have and it not the 3 fire

it actually 2 lighting 1 fire

1 cast apply 7 ignite

that huge early game

[tawny orbit]

I still don't know if I should keep runebolt 3 element or change to just cold and lightning?

[dense prairie]

Think it's when you don't have enough mana, it makes it cost more mana, I only noticed this happening when I was under 80 mana or so

Question: Does "Elemental damage increase" and "Fire dmg increase" etc, apply to ALL elemental/fire dmg, such as Ignite dots?

[tawny orbit]

Yep sure does

[dense prairie]

kk just wanted to be sure, ty

[autumn sun]

Maybe I'm working out the cost wrong but I did check that this was not the case... more experimenting required I think

[tawny orbit]

I will say having runic doing a backflip and doing 2 casts for me is really nice but damn does it use up the mana

[autumn sun]

also seems weird that it wouldn't just put you into negative mana..

[dense prairie]

Yeah it doesn't let you go negative mana which I think is the main issue, since I increased my mana pool it hasn't failed to cast yet

[autumn sun]

guess I need to up my mana then...

[tawny orbit]

Yeah I need a bigger mana pool, got my mana regen solid though

[autumn sun]

feels like mana regen is hard to increase, I only see % increases rather than flat increase

[tawny orbit]

Yep mana regen is all % increases

[unborn hamlet]

I'm using tri-ele nova with my frostclaw build just fine, the base helmet in the build is kind of redundant if you have good roll bleeding heart, granted with some extra LP if possible, still want the actual stats

Dropped near perfect roll crest of unity early on, so it's like, almost impossible to swap out of it, decided it's easier to just drop new one with LP instead of getting perfect tyrant crown

You proc nova from spamming frostclaw, instead of actually casting it yourself

You would need to re-spec the whole build for it tho,as I'm looking at what you use

[tawny orbit]

If I was to do frost claw and nova myself I'd do it cold and have nova casting freezing cascade from nova aswell

[unborn hamlet]

I mean, baseline is cold

It's just that crest of unity makes it tri elemental

No matter how you spec it

Still keeps all the cold perks

[elder pewter]

I dont understand waht bleeding heart do can you explain to me

[unborn hamlet]

The idea is using the health leech combo with twisted heart for ward generation

Also it's not hard to drop one with 2-3LP, so you can smack it with good stats

Twisted heart uses your health to cast elemental spells, and converts the health used to ward

[elder pewter]

Not worth to take the frost leech in passif ?

[unborn hamlet]

And bleeding heart heals you back to full

[woeful geyser]

since it's tri elemental, node that requires the nova to be fire/cold/lightning doesnt work. it's a known bug

[unborn hamlet]

Why use valuable skill passives if there is perfect items to solve that issue

[woeful geyser]

just be aware

[unborn hamlet]

Yes, but all the other cold perks still proc out of it

Like the cascade

[woeful geyser]

yea

[mighty bronze]

Hey guys, I'm running an Elemental Nova point and click build (Crest of Unity + Unstable Core) at lvl 80ish, will this fall off when I reach end game?

[elder pewter]

Maybe a better item could fit, i just ask

[woeful geyser]

i wanted to use it for my ignite build, but nope, they decided that u cant

[unborn hamlet]

Bleeding heart is already a top item for many builds, like dropping a 4LP bleeding heart with decent leech roll is a GG necklace

[mossy flume]

Does spell damage boost brand of deception applied by a spell?

[mighty bronze]

Right when I was wondering why it doesn't proc the ice nova and what not

[woeful geyser]

can u generate good amount of ward?
does it have multiple scaling tag?
does it have good defensive layers?
if yes to all, then it's high corruption viable

[obsidian bear]

Yeah i mean runemaster mb xp

Wich one of the 3 be the best to go for fir player with idk 40h😅

[elder pewter]

I see, thanks for answer.
For people you tried RM Spark/frostClaw do you use LB with ? 🤔

[mighty bronze]

welp, what's a scaling tag? and what's a good amount of ward like? 300/s?

[woeful geyser]

does it allow you to stack multiple offensive affix on your gear

[mighty bronze]

well they're both non-LP items at this stage

so I guess I'll need to hope for better drops along the way then 🙂

[woeful geyser]

ward, idk , prob maintaining like 3000+ during combat

[mighty bronze]

well my wards are really bad at this level, like 1k ish 😦

occasionally get 2-shotted by Lagon (he hits too hard)

[tawny orbit]

My only big issue with runebolt is I don't think you can get it to freeze

I really don't like the Lagon boss fight

[wraith mica]

Are you trying to avoid cheesing it?

[mighty bronze]

yep, I don't want to cheese it

but his physical attacks (the claws) hit too damn hard

[tawny orbit]

Lagos I just find boring and annoying

[mighty bronze]

I find Majasa worse tbh

[turbid kettle]

I'm doing a fire meteor build, and I can't decide if there actually is any good uniques for that build. You guys got any good suggestions?

[mighty bronze]

@turbid kettle I've tried a fire build and I find it severely lacking because I don't have any defense lol... maybe my fire items were too crappy

went back to Glacier + Elemental Nova and I'm just right clicking, 6 novas plus the occasional Glaciers and everything melts

[turbid kettle]

defensively I'm good up to like 200 corruption, I'm running around with 2-3k ward at all times + 1.5k hp

[mighty bronze]

how much dps does your meteor say?

I find Meteor a bit mana hungry for the output I could manage 😦

[turbid kettle]

it shows like different numbers depending on where I am

[mighty bronze]

I tried Black Hole + Meteor combo and it drains mana so fast lol

[turbid kettle]

lemme get to a 100 echo and see real quick

it's from 60kdps- 120k

120k mostly since that's when I have procs and stuff after I've used an ability

[turbid kettle]

well with the right talents and much mana your are fine

[mighty bronze]

do you happen to have any good Dark Shroud of Cinders?

[turbid kettle]

I have 1 but that doesn't really seem good for my build tbh

[mighty bronze]

and maybe Soulfire is a good one

I tried a build with Cinders, Soulfire, Ignivar's head, but I got no LP to give them affixes so the build ended up being bad 😦

[turbid kettle]

yea that one could be good for just clearing echoes, but I was more thinking of a main weapon

[mighty bronze]

well then you'll need blackhole cooldown to be very low for it to be viable main spell

[turbid kettle]

oh you went for a build centered around black hole?

[mighty bronze]

i think the blackhole + meteor will bolster it more than just meteor alone

since blackhole will trigger everything meteor has?

just theory crafting, take what I say with lots of salt 😉

[gilded marten]

is it possible to get volcanic orb to 0 cooldown?

[turbid kettle]

doesn't really work for me, anything that auto casts meteor just ruins my mana

I don't use the belt, I think it actually sucks. But that's because I use 100% crit over 400 mana

[median bane]

is fractured crown guaranteed once the runed visage affixes meet the requirements?

[turbid kettle]

right now black hole is centered around making my single target better with shredding resistances and adding ignite

[turbid kettle]

afaik, yes

[mighty bronze]

maybe Rule of the Simoon will help with shredding as well

I find the tornado was really good when it works

the downside is it's random af

[turbid kettle]

30% chance doesn't seem too bad tho

since I'm dropping 5 meteors per cast

[mighty bronze]

thing is it's a stationary tornado so if the boss moves, you have to kite him back into it

[turbid kettle]

yea I can see it being annoying gameplay wise

but could be insane for a few seconds

[mighty bronze]

when I was running that unique fire set, I had so much fire res, but very poor in everything else 😦

maybe I went too crazy into dps

[turbid kettle]

you probably did lol

I haven't really pushed corruption yet since I'm still trying to get good boons from the echoes

think the limit will be around 400 tho for this build

[mighty bronze]

I just thought I could do an insta-melt everything with fire build, but anything that touched and my sorc died lol

[turbid kettle]

you really need the ward gain

[mighty bronze]

how many stash tabs do you have? 100 yet? XD

ward gain on mana spent?

[turbid kettle]

I mean something along those lines yea

and I do not lol, I'm very strict on what I save, I got like 7 tabs and I use 5 of them

[atomic bough]

anyone has cool spellblade reave build for 2h ?

[mighty bronze]

dood, what do you keep gold for????

[turbid kettle]

I got like 14mill, I will buy better Items when I'm higher with the trading faction

[mighty bronze]

yeah I think I need to find some decent items with +mana/mana-regen and ward on mana spent for that fire build, don't have any atm

[unborn hamlet]

I'm on char only stash, there is no reason to buy tabs for me

I have 4 tabs and 1 of em is being used for 3-4LP items I can't use

Just as a reminder the game is making fun of me

[mighty bronze]

I guess I'm keeping way too much trash then 😦

[turbid kettle]

I mean legendaries without +2 atleast are worthless

[mighty bronze]

good point

[unborn hamlet]

They are worthless regardless to me when I'm on CoF

What does it matter I have 2 4LP laddles

[wraith mica]

dual wield

[unborn hamlet]

😂

[wraith mica]

make soup

[mighty bronze]

this!!!! 🤣

[turbid kettle]

why are you even saving them then? :d

[mighty bronze]

so how do you go around making your 4LP laddles? keep farming for exalted with 4 lines that you want? By the time you find one it's probably a new Cycle 🤣

[turbid kettle]

I can't see myself going CoF ever unless they make it better

[mighty bronze]

yeah I think the drops from CoF are pretty lacking atm tbh

[unborn hamlet]

Same way with MG for me

Unless they make massive improvements to item listing and filtering

I'm never touching that horrid thing

[dense prairie]

Probably a dumb question as I'm 99% sure I know the answer but "efficient experiment" talent for runebolt doesn't work if you convert it to only be 1 element type right

obviously it shouldn't, but wondering if it's a weird interaction

[unborn hamlet]

That thing they made they call market is a spit in the face for everyone who had any prior game market experience from other games

[turbid kettle]

100% with you there, but sometimes you get items you know are worth millions

I just don't bother with things I don't already know are worth alot of money

[unborn hamlet]

And?, gold is just imaginary number in a game, like honestly, I feel better accomplished when I actually drop an item and craft it , instead of brain-dead gold farming and buying everything, but that's just me

There are games where drop/trade balance is done right

And honestly I feel like they should merge the two factions to begin with

If they made it in a way where I can use both faction items if I have the rank, that would be perfect

[turbid kettle]

well I'm at like 100 ish hours this season and I don't know how much longer I will play. There is still items that haven't dropped for me and even less with "good" rolls so no market for me can be the difference of getting a good build together that I wanna play

[unborn hamlet]

Like if I drop something insane in CoF I won't be able to sell it

But I have the option to buy things on MG and use em

While being on CoF

It's a simple thing to fix the whole issue

[turbid kettle]

so you don't wanna be able to to sell items, but you wanna be able to buy them?

[unborn hamlet]

Like, if I have rank ,10 merchant rank, I see no reason to not be able to use items I bought on MG, while in CoF faction, I already meet the damn requirements

[unborn hamlet]

Yes pretty much

From my initial understanding of the factions that's how I thought it worked to begin with

But no,

I straight up have to unequip the items

Even when I have the requirement to use em

[turbid kettle]

I mean I guess that could work, not sure how you would make any significant money without selling items tho

[unborn hamlet]

That's the neat part, if I want, I can just swap

Make money, buy the thing I need, go back to cof

[tired hound]

Except for the main part of being in that guild
Thst req you didnt meet

[unborn hamlet]

Besides, if I wasn't dumping gold in lightless arbor, I would have 100's of millions of gold

[turbid kettle]

as someone who haven't touched CoF where does the majority of you income come from? Because I feel like you make scraps just selling items to vendor

[unborn hamlet]

The scraps add up quick, and I make 50-150k per run regardless

If you're flying 60 nodes an hour

That's a lot of gold

Depends on corruption ofc

I understand what they were trying to accomplish here but hear me.out

[turbid kettle]

I don't see it but I guess, still fairly new to this game

[unborn hamlet]

MG is overpowered system if you have someone to carry you across from rank 3 to 8 by power leveling you, but everything in between is useless, and the system itself is just terrible

CoF could be fixed by either allowing you to buy and not sell stuff on MG, of simply make the perks better

Like rank 9 perk is a complete joke

[tawny orbit]

Yeah Rank 9 needs to be replaced with something better

[unborn hamlet]

Or allow you to better target farm items you want, because sometimes I spend 10's of thousands of favour just rerolling blessings

[mighty bronze]

why do you dump gold in lightless arbor?

[unborn hamlet]

As a CoF player I have 0 use for gold

That's why

It's literally worthless

I don't even pick up exalted items off the ground if they are not T7, and have the correct prefix/affix name I'm looking for

[mighty bronze]

how do you grind favor with CoF?

I'm only 30 hours in or so 😛

[unborn hamlet]

Target the book(experience) nodes in monoliths

[wraith mica]

I have so many tabs with double or more T7 affixes... I cry cause I can't sell anything lol

[unborn hamlet]

They give 3-7k favor a run

[unborn hamlet]

Yeah, like, I literally see 0 reason to not allow CoF players use the MG market for purchases only

We would introduce gold for merchant players , that's all

[tawny orbit]

I'm only on Rank 5 CoF

[turbid kettle]

question is would it be the "meta" way to play?

if 90% of all players wanna do the same we won't have any items up to buy

[unborn hamlet]

Without merchandise there would be no buyers after all

So people would still play market

[mighty bronze]

hot damn

[turbid kettle]

I can see it being a slippery slope

[unborn hamlet]

Look as I said few days ago

Just mash the two factions together

Allow everyone to do everything

Useless items are 0 gold on MG anyway

And good items go for millions of hundred of millions gold anyway

And once you buy it, it's locked to you forever anyway

The market would be fine

[turbid kettle]

We'll see what they come up with, since they wanna add even more factions

[unborn hamlet]

Since it won't be flooded

[mighty bronze]

quick question, items that says needs Rah rune or stuff like that are Runemaster?

[unborn hamlet]

By the offset of people buying what they need for use or crafts

[short remnant]

Hey any ideas what I should slam into a 4lp firestarter's torch?

[bronze shore]

that super bad

what the point of having MG and CoF in the first place anyway

[unborn hamlet]

That's the baseline issue I'm trying to explain

Just make it 1 system

[wraith mica]

I think market should be open to all, and factions are unique in others ways. cof can still have drop perks, specifically for offline or solo players (ie those who dont' care abuot market), merchants can specialize in trade goods with crafting benefits, such as refining other players items or adding value to them in other ways (interactive play)

[bronze shore]

U cant just streamline farming with CoF then sell it for money in MG

[unborn hamlet]

As I said, don't allow CoF to sell

Just buy

[wraith mica]

CoF specific rewards can still be locked to CoF, but non CoF items (ie normal global drops) can still be sold

[unborn hamlet]

But that's just 1 bad solution

[unborn hamlet]

Or this

Items you drop normally should be sellable

Prophecy items locked

[split flare]

Hey guys anyone got a good plasma orb runemaster guide?

[signal plover]

I have à french one if you want

[bronze shore]

bad idea

u need to really think carefully of what would happend if they merged

[turbid kettle]

I think one of the best solutions would just be to make market its own thing and then when they add more factions you'll have to pick between CoF or any of the others but still have market as a base feature for everyone

[bronze shore]

CoF are "better" than MG is because they drop more gear than MG which most of the time cant be use by them

that it the drawback

[wraith mica]

Yeah, global market. each faction just has individual perks for different play styles. faction specific items can be tied to their own faction, but let global drops be global market

[bronze shore]

u cant just make CoF be able to sell for MG

[tidal cape]

i think alot of these suggestions are missing the point entirely, some people DONT want to engage in trade of feel like they have to or they would be missing out hence why COF exists for SSF and trade exists for a market economy

[turbid kettle]

I would really like to see a poll on how low of a percentage of players that actually is

but I do understand you argument

[tidal cape]

bro its literally half the game what do you even mean you want a poll

[turbid kettle]

yea it's half the game, but how many players are actually picking that option

and it seems most people who pick the option is because the current market UI and search functions sucks ass

[tidal cape]

people love both factions for what they represent at the moment, yeah they are flawed but teh core design is good

[bronze shore]

to buy LP in MG u need to be rank 8

the only reason u want to buy LP in MG is those top rare rings and amulets

[tidal cape]

yeah... whats your point?

[bronze shore]

u farm LP gear faster than you get rank 8 in MG
that why CoF is there

[subtle vale]

I dislike trading in ARPGs. saying that though kinda feel like both factions should be available. and if you don't want to trade you go SAF

[bronze shore]

CoF enable you to farm LP right at the start

[tidal cape]

okay thats great for people who enjoy that

and MG exists for people who enjot a marketplace and trading

[turbid kettle]

Then again doesn't the game already have a mode for SSF?

[tidal cape]

it does and COF makes it even better

[bronze shore]

to be fair if you play SSF may as well play offline lul

just my opinion

[turbid kettle]

I mean I think people still enjoy chatting and showing off their drops

[bronze shore]

true

who wouldnt want to flex

[cobalt prairie]

I think you can still chat in offline mode

[turbid kettle]

on discord yes? lol

[subtle vale]

the chat aspect is nice. and like dante says. talk about your items. your most recent death etc

and yeah online offline still has chat 🙂

[cobalt prairie]

The first day when online is dead I was pretty sure there is a public chat

[turbid kettle]

that's news to me, what does even offline mode mean in that case? you can't acess market or form groups?

[bronze shore]

back to mage topic

isnt runemaster basicly have like every spell in the game?

like plasma orb for innvocation isnt it like the plasma orb tree on fireball?

[turbid kettle]

I have no input on runemaster

[bronze shore]

[subtle vale]

every spell in the game? no. do they have many? yes. can they invoke spells available through skill nodes otherwise? yes

[turbid kettle]

only real mage build in this game is sorcerer :))

[bronze shore]

isnt it like 40 spell lol?

[subtle vale]

yeah https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/runic_invocation/invocations

in my run I used like 3... 4 by mistake

[glacial hinge]

Ugh im just trying to get to level 74 to equipt this item

I hate the level requirment on some stuff

[turbid kettle]

do more echoes with xp reward

[glacial hinge]

been trying to almsot lv 73

it just feels like it takes extra longer when you get close to what you're trying to do lol

[bronze shore]

tbf leveling req make sense

[turbid kettle]

just wait until you get even higher T.T

[bronze shore]

some item it just too OP on early level

[turbid kettle]

then again I haven't kept up my corruption to my level

[bronze shore]

like someitem even need u to have lv80

for example imagine u can use usper mandatte + wraithlord helm at lv 1

boss would just evaporate

or endgame unique mage gear like the laddle + robe

[turbid kettle]

is laddle really that great?

[bronze shore]

dont know some build use it

so i assume is good

[turbid kettle]

I've heard it a few times that it's good, but I just don't feel excited by it

there is 0 unique weapons that makes me go "wow that would be awesome for my build"

[sand veldt]

Hi, does damage reduction applied to ward or just for hp?

[idle terrace]

is Spell critical strike chance good for shatter strike, mana strike build?

[glacial hinge]

I really gotta break this mentalilty that armor is only for physical defense like other games

[raw tartan]

The cast speed and -flat mana cost is just king

• getting dmg multiplier with every ailment. The longer you fight, the stronger you get

[bronze shore]

isnt that the main purpose?

[turbid kettle]

Yea I'm just sad that there is no better option for me unless I wanna use the set staff :I

[eager silo]

does chilled touch work with ignite when using pyroglass?

[glacial hinge]

No in this game it's all dmg reduction

[wraith mica]

stacking armor is really good

[bronze shore]

i mean more armour more DR?

[raw tartan]

You mostly stack over 100int and way above, so you're already getting +50% castspeed which is huge

Ladle is kinda hard to get but one of the strongest items so far

Can't scale your spellcast speed higher any other way afaik

depends on the build tbh, I don't really use more than like 4-5 casts in a row with mine

the rounie armour set lowkey look good on runemater

like a ninja casting spell

Also not in bossfights?

meteor with 100% crit over 400 mana, doesn't leave room for spamming 🙂

[raw tartan]

Ahh well, meteor maybe be one of those where ladle is useless. I see your point

[turbid kettle]

yea my first question here is if there was a viable option other than the set staff

but the discussion got sidetracked quickly

[raw tartan]

Guess you should get something with flat dmg increase instead with your setup

I look some up and tell you if i find soemthing

Should be 1H i guess?

[turbid kettle]

would be nice, I haven't really found anything good

losing an offhand hurts your survivability alot, but I may even afford a 2h aswell

depending on how much damage there is to gain

Ima brb like 10 mins, I hope you can suprise me with a good find ^^

[subtle vale]

hell yeah. ninja spellcaster just zooming around with flame rush

[tawny orbit]

I'm using ladle atm and got no idea what off hand I should be going for

This one looks pretty promising https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzBMwZgdiA

Even less mana cost and more flat fire dmg + increased = should boost your dmg while also lowering your mana cost

is there a chance to inflict frostbite % cap
