actually nwm, its only 3, flame rush is just traversal skill
midnight beacon
Hey so I'm playing runemaster fireball as main skill its so fun I got a unquie idol unvars exile and don't know how it works
unborn hamlet
lemme look that up, but iirc it makes it so u can only gain 2 runes for runic invocation
cerulean bone
gain 2 runes only
unborn hamlet
nwm thats the adorned one
midnight beacon
Was just wondering if it's good for my build
unborn hamlet
the huge one makes it so once u have 3 runes
u cant get rid of them until u cast a skill
what do u cast with your Runic Invocation
if anything
indigo isle
actually nwm, its only 3, flame rush is just traversal skill
One could argue you use flame rush and not teleport so you can get runes and runes are arguably buffs? :^)
unborn hamlet
One could argue you use flame rush and not teleport so you can get runes and run...
its on my hotbar because i need to generate fire rune, yes
midnight beacon
Just the big fireball I got it so I cast rune 1 and 2 along with the big fireball
So I cast all 3 rune skills with my fireball
unborn hamlet
so fire x3 rune then cast?
midnight beacon
Yeah
unborn hamlet
if ur doing only fire skills regardless
that idol is useless to u then
the 33% increased dmg on runic invocation based on your int is not only RNG, but also not a huge dmg increase
to justify taking up 3 slots in idols
nwm 4 slots even
midnight beacon
Thank you 😊
unborn hamlet
Thank you 😊
if ur just starting and u dont have any idols to fill up your idol slots, u can use it ofc
something is better than nothing, but if u have to free up space for it by sacrificing other good idols, its not worth it
bitter ore
oh wtf teleporting strikes just lets you cast the strike and doesnt tele you to the target locatoin?
midnight beacon
Thank you 😊 I got better ones to use atm I'm only level 40
unborn hamlet
oh wtf teleporting strikes just lets you cast the strike and doesnt tele you to ...
yea
it basically just makes mana strike long range
bitter ore
damn I should have read the whole skill notable
i thought I was going to be able to make a flicker strike build
unborn hamlet
that would be turbo broken 😂
bitter ore
this game has some turbo broken interactions so i was just hoping that spell blade would have one too
unborn hamlet
maybe the one that drops helmets
for 3LP barbute drop
black sun iirc
actually i would focus on getting twisted heart with LP until u get Dex slam on it at least, then swap to barbute corruption push
bitter ore
thanks for all the info @unborn hamlet
glad I got to figure out my dreams were broken before I tried them
unborn hamlet
😂 sorry
bitter ore
lol nah its cool, I read "Teleport" and thought it was for the strike
unborn hamlet
if u want something like that build, maybe try to look up artillery spark charge runemaster on youtube
its something of a similiar concept to what u wanna achieve
but not teleporting u, rather than the skills
midnight beacon
Hey I just got advent of the erased with 5 weavers will on it would that be good

lemme grab a link

Hey I just got advent of the erased with 5 weavers will on it would that be good
5 is the minimum i think
or a very low roll
midnight beacon
I don't know if it would be good for me
bitter ore
im having trouble balancing the mana in mine
midnight beacon
Nah not good it has minipn
unborn hamlet
I don't know if it would be good for me
if u got nothing better then sure, but as an item, the weavers will gives u random stats and upgrades
might roll BiS
might roll utter trash

any chance I can tag along on for an Emperor of Corpses kill at 290+ corruption for prophecy to proc?

ur using mana strike, this build uses frostclaw to trigger all this

Why do most "ward" builds also use ice elemental skills?
glossy quarry
Why do most "ward" builds also use ice elemental skills?
Guessing of cold being the tank elemental
Runemaster cfc combo= tank
indigo isle
Guessing of cold being the tank elemental
Ah that's just how the game is designed you mean?
Cold == ward stuff?
Err, rephrasing: Cold damage usually correlates with ward nodes?
inner burrow
The runic invocation spell that gives ward needs cold-fire-cold runes.
So people usually build their hotbars to have cold/fire/cold spell for immutable invocation
indigo isle
I'm not a runemaster though, I'm a spellblade
steel roost
well cold also correlate to freeze and chill, ailment that stop and slow down enemy, i.e control
inner burrow
Why do most "ward" builds also use ice elemental skills?
What builds are you looking at?
indigo isle
What builds are you looking at?
Just in general, its a trend I've noticed
Builds that rely on ward typically spec into cold damage for some reason
glossy quarry
Any math cook here? I am not sure what is better for defense, automatic lighting aegis using flame dash for the 25% reduced damage taken and unspecced flame ward VS specced flame ward and 15-20% chance to proc lighting aegis when hit from idols
inner burrow
Might be to do with frostbite shackles that gives a ton of ward retention
indigo isle
Might be to do with frostbite shackles that gives a ton of ward retention
Ah, so it's the uniques?
Oh and last steps are also correlated with cold I think?
Yeah that would make sense
woven yarrow
There's the snowdrift boots too that give cold pen for frostbite per freeze rate multiplier
And the frostbite shackles do come with frostbite on hit
unborn hamlet
its not about the cold skills
its more the items that relate to ward gen
twisted heart is one thing
but frostbite shackles are just OP
and u gen ward based on u freezing enemies, so ye
woven yarrow
Yeah my spellblades hit 27k ward in some arenas
bitter ore
You get your three LP heart?

No, not using heart

Question for any Runic Invocation enjoyer, does copied scrolls (chance to repeat per energy) roll over 100% like ailment application? if i have 150% , do i have a guaranteed repeat + 50% of a 2nd repeat? or does it cap out at 1 repeat per cast?
midnight beacon
I'm playing hc
unborn hamlet
yea, silly squid guy
his telegraphed atk for the claw stun slam is the worst designed attack fo any boss in the game
ngl
bitter ore
Did you not have stun proc on FW?
unborn hamlet
nah dont spec into anti stun
the claw is just bad designed atk
it doesnt go where it looks like it goes
it just follows u
bitter ore
Oh idk I’ve never died to a boss
unborn hamlet
sometimes it hits u across the screen, sometimes it looks like it hit thin air despite it landing on top of your head
bitter ore
I’ve noticed some pretty weird stuff for sure though
unborn hamlet
besides it was not the claw that killed me, it was him stunning me into spitting the lightning discharge into my face before i could move again
bitter ore
Yeah
unborn hamlet
nowadays i mostly die to bad modifiers on high corruption
bitter ore
It’s kinda busted how they set you up for the kill
unborn hamlet
mark for death is cringe for what little benefit it gives u
armor shred with crit chance + mark for death and GG
no amount of ward or jesus will save u

The amount of wars I build on my warlock is just stupid
I don’t even play her anymore because it’s just not fun

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/QeYqlPaQ
Im new and very slow ( I say this with a slight bit of comedy, and not to make fun of anyone with actual challenges)
but I imagine im wearing too many uniques instead of properly crafting gear? can you ever wear too many uniques?
either way how to I make this work better so I dont run out of mana so fast?
and I would really like to replace Focus with Blackhole (seems like good synergy? black hole nodes cast meteor and pull enemies in) then use fireball with nodes in both meteor and fireball to regen mana,
and teleport, fireward, an whatever else I can get for ward
silk pewterBOT
mint silo
I mean the build kinda works
bitter ore
I have no clue about anything sorc
midnight beacon
Hey what does mastery of the invoker do
bitter ore
Are you wanting to make your build work or have a working build?
mint silo
@bitter ore I am really trying to play without lookin up builds
but its like reading a book and i dont like reading
Im completely joking but its just a lot to absord and I would rather a few pointers than following a guide atm
bitter ore
So anything anyone tells you is pretty much going to be from a guide
mild pulsar
my gloves are on the ground and I cant see their name(therefore i cant pick them up), I tried holding X and disabling loot filter and still nothing, any tips?
bitter ore
You could try looking up a guide for information only and try to use what others are doing to improve your own build and not just copy one?
mint silo
@mild pulsar Ive seen the same visual bug I think, where you see the rectangle highlight but no text appear? and you hover over it and can see the item tooltip? if so ive never had aproblem picking it up just the visual text bug
@bitter ore I feel you there
are there any "easy" or short term sure fire ways to get mass amounts of mana regen?
like a fancy unique?
bitter ore
I mean there always mana strike
mint silo
the real struggle is new character on cycles so leveling while collecting mats to forge
bitter ore
Ive been trying to work mana regen in a build I had been working on
mint silo
actually... in all honesty im just lazy I think
my Filter is prob stupid AF and my stash is full of a bunch of crap
bitter ore
Even went the 300+mana route with regen from the other specs tree
My entire reason for making my build is because I was lazy lol
Press frost claw and chill
mint silo
How about this question, is it always better to go with 1 damage type? as a mage/sorc my options are obviously Fire, Cole, Lightning
bitter ore
I haven’t figure out mage enough to be able to answer
mint silo
or i guess its ok to rotate as, there are items and nodes that boost, Elemental, or Multiple damge types
bitter ore
But I’d assume you get higher damage output from converting your skills to the same source
nimble orbit
I kinda want to play around that elemental nova unique + teleport
mint silo
Becuase the Build I want to make work..... Blackhole does base cold, and I can not convert it to lightning and a node in it will cast meteor for me; Meteor is fire but i can change it to lightning with the set staff/head Vilatrias and a node will make Fireball regen mana; Fireball I can make lightning through gloves and node and cost no mana...
but then I got those set rings, that boost "elemental cast speed"
since my spells say either fire cold or lightning but not the word elemental in the tags
does it actuall boost the cast speed? or do the TAGS actually have to say the word elemental
nimble orbit
I believe elemental does affect all three
safe marsh
elemental = fire, cold or lightning
bitter ore
Yeah it’s one of those things where it tells you without telling you
Like I get the idea that it doesn’t say it on your tooltip
safe marsh
also idk about those specific set items but set items in general are in a bad spot
I'd imagine a t20+ item would be better in those slots
mint silo
right but I presumed it did as well considering it wasnt a damage modifier
nimble orbit
Like I get the idea that it doesn’t say it on your tooltip
It does on elemental affixes on items at least
bitter ore
Look at the cast time with the item on and off
Oh I meant on the tool tip
And so many things don’t work as intended it’s hard to tell if it’s actually working or not
Maehlins are a great example lol
nimble orbit
I'm not even sure if my build is bugged or not because I feel like I'm dealing more damage than I should
But maybe that's because I'm still level 76 and at 0 corruption
bitter ore
And mage is overall just strong af
nimble orbit
Yeah. My current lightning sorc build is pretty fun. Just the flame rush with static orb and frost wall combo usually deals a ton of damage
bitter ore
I’m still trying to find a build I actually enjoy
My torment warlock is just broken to the point of unfun
Probably just going to start playing hardcore
nimble orbit
Spellblade looks neat

Already decided to just stick 1 char this cycle

3-4months , like a season yea
unborn hamlet
They said they will introduce new mechs and stuff with cycles
Well, I wanna push it to the limits, which requires RNG heavy drops
bitter ore
When the rng has letters in the odds
unborn hamlet
- I made my stash character bound, so all the good items I dropped for other classes are useless
unborn hamlet
I hope they will revise MG a bit, and wanna try that out too
I took a look, tried to use it for a bit, but the system is just very badly designed, as I said many times already
Just the fact the game doesn't filter your sales to the top is off-putting enough
bitter ore
I’ve never seen such a terrible design in my entire life
unborn hamlet
If you have like 50 pages of listings
Which is another thing, why no limit? Why no time limit?
unborn hamlet
Then, if you actually want to look for BiS items, good luck scrolling through thousands of items cos you can't even filter by more than 1 stat
bitter ore
So they had the mailman finish it
unborn hamlet
Lmao
bitter ore
You can look up more than one stat
unborn hamlet
Yes, but not with adding tier to it
If you add like t7
It will look for those stats as t7
bitter ore
Ah yeah

Instead of just 1 t7 stats

I just keep going down
Until I find one that has items
Then look

The only issue with CoF is that rank 9 is literally useless, and there is no boss RNG increase, or boss drop specific blessings
The major issue why I don't like MG as well is that if you manage to get 1GG drop
You essentially finished the game
Sell it for a billion , deck out gear, and what do you do then?

I've heard people who went disintegrate report disappointment with channelling abilities.

If it has Legendary Potential, you can run Temporal Sanctum to fuse it with an exalted item to make it a legendary item.

sturdy summit

are you sure it's 25%? It's picking 2 marbles out of a bag without replacement. Shouldn't it be 1/2 chance on the first affix, and 1/3 chance on the second affix, so 16% chance to get both.
woeful geyser
If u have 2 out of 4 good affix
It's 1/6 for 2 , 4/6 for any 1 of the 2, and another 1/6 to not get either
sturdy summit
2/4 * 1/3 = 16.6%
vale tartan
That's not how probability works lol
In this case , it does , you always get 2 out of 4 and if you want 2 out of the 4 but not the other 2 , it is this
sturdy summit
picking two out of four without replacement is not 25%
vale tartan
you get either 1 good and 1 bad , 2 good or 2 bad
woeful geyser
So 83% to be have at least 1 good one

picking two out of four without replacement is not 25%
But you dont pick 1 , you pick always 2 with 2 Lp

does Melee elemental damage count as Melee Damage Leeched as health?

There is no First this and THEN the other
naive condor
can anyone confirm that for me?
sturdy summit
But you dont pick 1 , you pick always 2 with 2 Lp
first you pick 1 out of 4 and have 2 desired results, and then you pick 1 out of 3 and have 1 desired result. logically, there has to be a first and then a second, that's how you compute probabilities.
vale tartan
its a sample size of 2 out of 4 , they try sample size of 1 of a pool of 4
sturdy summit
does Melee elemental damage count as Melee Damage Leeched as health?
melee elemental damage is melee damage

wrong sample size , your thing is correct tho if you pick them sequentially
woeful geyser
There is only 6 possible combination of affix on 2 LP item.
AB, AC , AD, BC ,BD ,CD
If A and B are good, there is 5/6 chance at at least 1 of good affix is slammed
merry marsh
Anyone play a sparkcharge Spellblade?
woeful geyser
Only 6 because affix order does not matter, and affix dupe is impossible
vale tartan
AB = BA and so on with AC = CA , yep
sturdy summit
and 1/6 is 16.6%, so cookie and I have two different ways of getting the same answer.
vale tartan
So you have : AB (good) AC , AD ( okay ) BC , BD ( also okay ) CD ( Bad ) , oh right .. 16.6 %
nvm , my bad
but how did i get the 25/50/25 ... where did i get that from >_>
sturdy summit
maybe you did picking 2 out of 4 with replacement. Then the first pick is 50% and the second pick is also 50% instead of dropping to 33.3%
vale tartan
no .. i think i got my thing crosswired with Coin flip probabilities .

the windup is better than a buff timer. What's sad is that flame ward doesn't have either a cue or a timer
hollow bloom
does the 'never late' node work with thge thing that makes flame rush cast runic invocation, i.e does the runic invocation get the bonuis from never late? (runemaster)
sturdy summit
I'm not sure, but it doesn't say you need to directly cast the spell, so I would assume yes until proven otherwise.
Never Late gives you a buff you can see in the buff bar. You can test it by seeing if the runic invocation consumes that buff or if you still have it afterwards.
hollow bloom
yep im trying it, seems buggy as heck. if you hit a wall with it it seems to not consume it, and if you hold it long enioough to get 2 runes it also seems to not consume it
not sure if its a visual bug or its really not proccing or what

I'd love to use teleport but without any elemental tag on it I can't combine it with Runic Invocation properly to use in my build so I'm stuck with it.

maybe it's just better to not use experimental. But I won't say no to frenzy, haste, mana on potion use, or armor for dot mitigation, if I can get them sealed. But those seals won't transfer over to a legendary, so none of those are going on my gloves or boots.

it doesn't unless you're running the lb-casts-on-frost-claw-crits dagger

iirc this one plays by using lightning blast to apply closed circuit & lightning aegis buffs before spamming frost claw
i have my doubts as to how effective it is though

i mean any rm build using the spark charge core is going to be able to perform exceptionally well
so minor inefficiencies don't really show up easily

Fellow Mages, quick question:
For a Lightning Blast RM is stacking spell damage and lightning damage the same thing ? I've seen a video from PinchingLoaf where he kinda says both are fine but he doesnt say that you either stack one or the other..
But u should stack one or the other right ? Never both
raw tartan
both are exactly the same, even elemental dmg would be the exact sime
but the hight they can roll are not the same
paper plover
i mean i know they do the same thing, but stacking them equally means much less damage than stacking just 1 of them right ?
raw tartan
stacking one instead of several makes no sense after all and the other way around imo. shouldn´t make any difference

Increased means stacks additively. 300 = 200 + 100

*Added * means base damage. Increased means multiplies the base, stacks additively. More means multiplies the base, but stacks multiplicatively.

sturdy summit
too much? what?
raw tartan
how is 193 too much im at 500+
barren pawn
drop some in favor of resists if applicable

dafuq u talk

huh im only holding 300 ward atm
raw tartan
193 too much is complete BS tho
barren pawn
Im used to just enerating enough constantly to not need all that much retention tbf
sturdy summit
don't listen to kyo, 200% ward retention is low. Your resists should get better, but tbh, it's not as important as in, say, poe
bronze shore
200% ward retention is like 50 int right?
raw tartan
at least get them resistances somewhere near 75% if not over

What's a good ward range for sorcerer? Build is still in the works but my average ward is 3k right now and I can improve it a lot I think. I know sorc is a lot lower than rune but I'm trying to push it since I made it sorc early lol
bronze shore
Runemaster even without ward rentention should be able to hold 1k

Since we're sharing builds, I'm struggling with survivability(ish). The occasional one shot at 240-ish corruption. Should I drop fracture crown and start focusing on Ward?

My int is 74 ish and im holding 10k at lv80

your reduced dmg taken from crits is fine, endurance can be ignored with ward, maybe get some more armot (but your amount is also fine for now) dodge and block can also be ignored for you
i think it´s mostly your resistances and maybe not knowing how to regen more ward
all in all it´s not too bad

to make at lil more sense to you, before any dmg gets done to you it gets calculated trough your resistances and armor. at lvl 100 monster penetrate like 75% so everything that YOU don´t have at 75% let´s you actually take more dmg insted of decreasing. if that makes sense to you

Im 80 and i have 74

nah i understand that, its like 30% extra when im at 45% res for example
raw tartan
but let´s say you got constant 20k ward or something like that, then you can pretty much ignore resistance since you won´t get oneshot anyway

Also my guy how u have 47 int at lv 83?
cause my use of stats aand skills aren't properly educated enough in ARPG's haha
raw tartan
@minor roost and the thing why you don´t get over 300 ward is that i can´t see anything that would generate ward for you
cold flare
why Shatter strike gets +melee cold per dex while flame reave only get % damage?

hmmm. I only have 50 int at level 97. Although, I'm not struggling, either.

the only ward generator that you got in your build is your runic invocation as far as i´ve seen it
and thats pretty bad for ward gen anyway

if you got a passive tree on your screen, you can actually write words in top right corner to find stuff
like keywords: ward, health, damage etc

so either way you generate with unique hands (shackels and hard af to get in good shape) or you generate your ward with passives in your runemaster passive tree, or trough skills (like frostclaw or manastrike for the best example)
minor roost
You tree have no defense node
i know, wich has always been the problem with me at ARPGS as mentioned before lol

frost claw is like the mage's swiss army knife. Need a spell delivery mechanism? Frost claw! need more ward? Frost claw! It does it all!

yeh but that's kind of the thing where it always goes wrong with me in trying to make my own thing. sometimes there's too much things for me to see and do that i just spent them in dmg since those are the numbers i see most. i can't really make a good base of what i need in order to build my char in a more sustainable / protectable way u know what i mean?

the way I did it was I looked at like 10-20 different guides to learn what people liked, and then after that I was able to make my own decisions.
