[bronze shore]

I use Jurla ring + flex ring that fill in the defensive hole that i cant fill

[neon lynx]

hopefully by then you have a hang of the game and can adjust as needed

[barren pawn]

mine works, pfun too

[raw tartan]

That's the way

[bronze shore]

Brw

[raw tartan]

Actually don't follow any guide to a 100%

[bronze shore]

That flex ring was suppose to be ruby ring

😭

20m ring

[raw tartan]

The one where 192% ward retention would be too much for you? 😭😂

[sturdy summit]

🤣

[minor roost]

as in most of those builds where u saw alot of nodes stats in like - ward gain , fire dmg, Dot above all other ones. <- just an example of stats and then chose to follow those on things u like ur own?

[next lance]

i think i reached 400 ward retention

[bronze shore]

10% less dmg taken from a ring is surely powerful

[next lance]

on the three dummies i think I peaked 30k

that is the peak still a lot of room for improvements

[sturdy summit]

if I understand you, yes, when I saw a pattern that a lot of people were picking the same nodes, I took that seriously

[raw tartan]

Can't have too much. Ward goes brrr

[next lance]

true

[minor roost]

it isn;t trust me on that, played 40 hours or so with it xD

[next lance]

I'm trying to make a build that will beated the broken af necromancer ward

[bronze shore]

I have 170 here so no comment

[neon lynx]

i have 600% and ill still take more if i could

[bronze shore]

There probably people with over 1k here since early access

[raw tartan]

There we go, a shackles cold res stacker i guess?

[next lance]

I mainly need to get items with legendary potential 2-4 and im hoping to get a relic with frost claw bonus

[neon lynx]

nah. just int stacking 🤣

[raw tartan]

Ohh that's neat

[minor roost]

ill restat my nodes on ther passive tree and see where that takes me

[neon lynx]

125 and still missing the slams on chest and boots

[raw tartan]

Y i miss the slam pretty much everywhere besides my chest and therefore just got ~ 85

[bronze shore]

Usually u want to take skill tree that give ward on cast

And also

[next lance]

most of the stats on the ring is meh but the 10percernt chance of 75 percent is WORTH it https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzBMwNgFiA btw i'm using frost claw with elemental nova

[minor roost]

ward on cast ill keep that in mind

[bronze shore]

Ground rule is to only have 20 point in your base passive skill tree

[next lance]

so i get more on hits

[bronze shore]

Dont go over it since there more powerful skill tree on mastery passive

[unborn hamlet]

yooo just hit a massive slam , @neon lynx finally some luck on my side, look in showcase

[sturdy summit]

I wish I had more int, but I feel like I'd have to give up mana regen prefixes to get it, and those are really dear to me right now cause I'm not using a wand or spellslinger.

[mint silo]

Looking for some Sorcerer experts

[hoary basalt]

mage is weird but I did enjoy a sily 'pop' spark and one shot a boss with 40% of their health haha

[mint silo]

Im new to the game and I have a busted ass self made build that im sure is dog water

[next lance]

sometimes getting more mana regen is not the playh as some skills have mana regen or increased efficiency

[hoary basalt]

nah if it feels good it probably is at least okay - but if you want I can give you my cat's drinking water

[mint silo]

what if I want all the mana regen

[hoary basalt]

not sure it's any better but variety

mana regen is decent, a good rotation is better

[sturdy summit]

I have all those nodes already. Frostclaw + Elemental Nova is just really hungry without -Mana Cost on your weapon.

[hoary basalt]

Or be lazy and specialize in spark 😄

[next lance]

you need idols

[mint silo]

but.... what if I cast blackhole and blackhole spams meteor and meteor takes a lot of mana... and I just need all the mana

[sturdy summit]

oh yeah, I'm working on mana efficiency idols.

[next lance]

ice drake

[hoary basalt]

maybe dont' do that

it's fun but it's all of the mana

[bronze shore]

I just found something quite weird

[next lance]

icedrake idol can give you extra 14 percent efficienc and you can have 2 of them

personally im also using runebolt for mana regen

[winter crow]

I dont have any mana regen and have no problems spamming frostclaw with nova

[next lance]

atm

[winter crow]

nova can have 0 mana costs

[next lance]

until i will get the relic level drop and better idols

[hoary basalt]

instead use flame ball as flaming orb and cast lighning glyph and use like 60% of your mana then cast flame ward start the mana regen and cast glacial wave and ... walk away

[minor roost]

btw is there a faster way to respec all points in the passive skill or do i have to click 80 times?

[winter crow]

and frostclaw can be selfsufficient with 26 points

no need to get mana regen

[next lance]

btw how mamy levels do u have on frost claw

[sturdy summit]

whats your mana cost for frost claw? Mine costs 16

[winter crow]

27, but only 26 are needed for no mana issues

[neon lynx]

Cries in 30 mana cost frostclaw

[next lance]

more is better there are a lot of good nodes

[hoary basalt]

RIGHT!

[next lance]

extra crit gives you more ward

[hoary basalt]

I wantted to fk around with frost claw but ouchies

[winter crow]

it costs 25, but it refunds most of the cost, and I have the mana efficiency node leveled up + frostclaw mana eff idols

[next lance]

you can icnrease cast speed

[hoary basalt]

that mana cost was a deal breaker

[next lance]

and dmg against chilled enemies

[minor roost]

nvm found out u can click one time and spam enter lol

[sturdy summit]

yes, I'm missing the mana eff idols. Getting useful adorned idols has been hard.

[next lance]

if i get a better helmet my elemental nova will be 30+ levels

[winter crow]

you dont need that many points into nova

[hoary basalt]

ooooooooooh I like the sound of 30 levels on nova

[winter crow]

nova isnt our main dps

[hoary basalt]

shush that sounds silly 🙂 tell me more tell me more

[next lance]

it does help you don't need but there is a lot of utlity like extra area for more hits, ward, and etc

stacking spark charge is amazing for on hit

[hoary basalt]

mmm

[next lance]

btw it is not a damage over time so it does on hit

[hoary basalt]

^

[placid flicker]

Hi guys, is the Maxroll Frostbite Frostclaw buildguide any good?

[sturdy summit]

How do you refund most of the cost? Gift of winter is only about -4 per cast, since it's 12 mana 36% of the time.

[barren pawn]

disintegrating nova is my sh1t

[next lance]

guys did you know that the nova on the ignite page that gives you more area does not have cd on frost claw

[bronze shore]

Mine 27

[next lance]

frost claw gang

[bronze shore]

All projectile node + returned node

Ironicly i can sustain my mana quite well

[next lance]

i wonder if maxing out all my idols and stats will help me achieve 60k ward on multiple enemies or bosses

[hoary basalt]

I just find the laser beam boring to look at, maybe with a skill cosmetic

[next lance]

why doesn't this game have cosmetic option for weak items that aren't used in your equipments

or not suitable for the build

[hoary basalt]

just launched I think

[winter crow]

one cast has four times 36% to regain 12 mana because of other nodes

[hoary basalt]

I really liked this one rogue armor - looked like a space suit almost

[winter crow]

so its like 17 mana on avg

[sturdy summit]

oh right. in fact, shouldn't that be 5 times? Hand of Morditas raises it from 3 to 5 projectiles

[next lance]

i used flameward with mana regen so that is a nice bonus

[winter crow]

its not about that, its about times casted, bottom left nodes increase cost but casts more times

[next lance]

because with the high cast speed which i'm still increasing it still takes a bunch of mana

[sturdy summit]

Oh, so you went On Through The Snow, etc? I see. So for me, it really is only -4 per cast.

[next lance]

with the two invoker rings you have on average hit 20 percent chance to gain 75 ward "ON HIT"

[winter crow]

yes

[next lance]

frost claw hits the enemies many times and lets not forget about elemental nova

[bronze shore]

Seems quite meh

[next lance]

in a couple seconds you shoot hundreds of projectiles with frost claw

[hoary basalt]

[next lance]

especially with high cast speed

[frozen sleet]

The one in sorcerer tree? I saw one like that but it had a 12 second cool down and I'm not sure how many times it stacks?

[next lance]

huh, with the set staff, could you roll a pretty good lighting meteor setup?

[hoary basalt]

it also can squal with extra throwing damage with that one dagger

get squite silly

[bronze shore]

There are ones on runemaster

[frozen sleet]

Vilatria's set is fun lots of +lightning damage but I ended up opting for other stuff

[frozen sleet]

Ahh gotcha prob too far in the tree for me then

[next lance]

frost claw can give you 200 ward at 7 percent chance on hit a single cast of frost claw will trigger multiple casts of nova

[sturdy summit]

Arcane Focus, tier 2 of Runemaster tree

[bronze shore]

Runemaster is unironicly the most tankiest class in the game

[next lance]

if you don't include necromancer

[bronze shore]

With their insane ward gen + flame ward with either lightnigh ageis or frost guard

And we dont take in warlock profane veil

That thing a bug

[raw tartan]

Paladin can also get pretty stupid with 95% armor and healing hands 50k ward

[bronze shore]

Isnt this build is purely defensive?

[raw tartan]

But healing hands also bugged some say

[sturdy summit]

There isn't really much for ward that's deep into the RM tree. The ward stuff is right up front. Well, there's more int: Arcane Inscriptions is pretty deep, but that's int.

[next lance]

imagine frost claw with ignite stack

[bronze shore]

24 ward gain on hit on boss

So op

[raw tartan]

You can spam either rive ore vengeance with that

[bronze shore]

• ward gain on crit

• mana spent to ward

[sturdy summit]

28 vs branded? I'm not lightning damage, unfortunately.

[bronze shore]

Wait

U dont need to be lightning though

It said on an ability with at least 15 mana

[next lance]

8 percent dmg reduction from enemies with elemental dot

there are a lot of different reductions

[bronze shore]

Assume if u want to brand a boss easily

[sturdy summit]

but how are you going to apply branded without lightning skills?

[barren pawn]

which node?

[next lance]

runemaster left most from the centre

[bronze shore]

Oh wait

My bad

Xd

[barren pawn]

oh that one

yeah i passed

[next lance]

if you use nova you apply lightning with frost claw

but you need the nova thing

the nova does lightning

[sturdy summit]

if you're speccing into lightning nova, that sounds like you're doing a lightning build

[bronze shore]

Edict of Sion can be activate on frost claw cast right? since it have area tag

[sturdy summit]

and elemental nova doesn't cost more than 15 mana, and you don't cast it directly.

[next lance]

oops forgot that

[winter crow]

nova costs 0 mana if you spec well

[next lance]

feels weird, paladin sentiel I've got feels tankier than my RM, I don't know how folks get so much ward from just spellcasts, outside of the low-life exang exploiting

[sturdy summit]

if your frost nova costs 0 mana, you haven't specced it well.

[bronze shore]

RM need investment

[raw tartan]

Which exploiting would that be?

[bronze shore]

The more you invest in the stronger it gets

[neon lynx]

low life is far farm exploiting

and its also not how u get a lot of ward on RM lol

[next lance]

so just high-ward investment, disregarding damage output?

[raw tartan]

That LL is exploiting was a good laugh tho

[bronze shore]

I gain 90 ward on hit on boss per cast of frost claw

[raw tartan]

I got the feeling that some folks just find the most stupiest things just to say anything 😂

[bronze shore]

And each frost claw have like 10 projectile

[next lance]

gr8 b8 m8

[sturdy summit]

5 is pretty close to 10

[bronze shore]

Runemaster dont use exsang and last step

[raw tartan]

I do

[bronze shore]

Dam

[next lance]

they do? That part of the skill tree, or passives? Initial procs seem to show only 3 projectiles/novas

[bronze shore]

How much ward u get the highest

[bronze shore]

Lower left

[tough siren]

anyone wanna help me out and give me some wps?

[raw tartan]

8 passive 15-20 at boss

[sturdy summit]

you get +2 projectiles per cast from Hand of Morditas, and additional casts from bottom left tree

[bronze shore]

I spec into more frost claw on cast

[next lance]

ahh, shiny

[bronze shore]

I hold around 10k at lv 80

Expect to get around 50k when im more gear up

[raw tartan]

Still lvl 90 i will get much more at 96+ so i can specc the most right nodes

[next lance]

I remember trying to make a disintegration build but the whole thing was ass later on so I changed and tested buncha stuff

Hand of Morditas, that a unique from world pool or boss spesific?

[raw tartan]

But i will switch to twisted heart later when it finally drops someday

[neon lynx]

man id love to have 8k passive

[sturdy summit]

it's a node

[neon lynx]

then i wouldnt randomly get 1 shot at the start of monos ramping my wards lol

[next lance]

ahh

[next lance]

against bosses or enemeis in general

[raw tartan]

Get 50%+ health to ward and about 1,8k health then u done 😅

[neon lynx]

gotta give up too much damage for just QOL

[raw tartan]

Y, that's why i will switch later

Just for farming gears so far

[bronze shore]

Boss around 10k and enemy is 8k

[next lance]

nice

after i get the frost claw level relic drop i will change my runebolt to runic invocation

other than that I mainly do intelligence and cast speed

[minor roost]

for the ones that advised me earlier. it turned out to be this atm https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/Bxv5Y4nA

[valid flame]

should I try to be min/maxing blessings before going up on corruption?

[minor roost]

mostly passives have been reworked

[normal cipher]

imo yes. They're a lot of free power

[sturdy summit]

people will tell you to rush empowered as fast as possible. I think a measured approach is better: just get at least one of each blessing first.

but trying to keep farming the same normal to get the perfect blessing before going to empowered is a waste

[next lance]

doesn't the empowered monlith give you better version of the blessing

[sturdy summit]

exactly. you shouldn't spend too long getting normal blessings. But, having at least the normal blessings isn't wasted time on a first playthrough.

so, get normal blessings, but don't min/max them

[next lance]

true

[valid flame]

So I'm in the empowered monoliths. I want to get the max stat on the blessing. Should I just keep farming easier emp monos until I get max?

or just get it as I go on higher corruption?

[next lance]

for some blessing it is wasteful to try to min max for example it doesn't matter if i get 40 or 50 percent lighning shred for frost claw if it will almost immediately stack up either way

even for empowered monolith

[sturdy summit]

I think it's all about finding a corruption level that's comfortable for you. If 100 corruption is a cakewalk, go a bit higher. But don't go so high that you start struggling and it becomes a slog.

[next lance]

man, frost claw feels weak initally, doesn't it?

[atomic heart]

guys. is there any fireball build viable 300-500+ corrup?

[next lance]

because you can't get a million cast speed and skill points early on

and the mana drain can be an issue as well

[neon lynx]

@winter crow do u run all 4 frostclaw nodes in the bottom left? frozen malice seems a bit pointless

[minor roost]

@bronze shore @sturdy summit @raw tartan yeh thx for the tips guys. Atleast ward is running from 300 to about 2000 and about to sustain it with casting. also for some reason switching some fireball spell makes it harder hitting so def got way better with surviveability\

[bronze shore]

Nice

[winter crow]

yes, that node gives an extra cast so its a must to sustain mana

[sturdy summit]

Nice, 2000 sounds a lot more reasonable.

[winter crow]

more casts = more mana returned fromgift of winter

oh wait mb

thats not an extra cast node

its the aiming one

[bronze shore]

The aim one is QoL

[next lance]

getting a frost claw level drop on a relic is so hard

[winter crow]

you could not take it if you want, its just for better clear yeah

[neon lynx]

yeah

[winter crow]

mb I thought it was one of the extra casts ones

[neon lynx]

ill try it mayb once i get the heart slam

[sturdy summit]

I got an Erased relic to roll a t7 glyph of dominion, and I feel like I'll never be able to give that skill up as a result :p

[bronze shore]

I need to get a T7 frost claw on a relic somehow

[stiff tide]

dont you need like 24 mana on frost claw for the recast to sustain mana

[humble cedar]

Is there a way to search for implicits in the Bazaar

[bronze shore]

I wonder if use a CoF relic to slam on a MG item would it become MG or CoF or you cant slam CoF on MG

[winter crow]

you can run fine with a t6, t7 is just if you want to run statich shell chest instead of unstable core and even then you could just run omnis to do that

[stiff cradle]

i am playing plasma orb and it feels a bit clunky casting my invocations, is this something on my games, end or something im doing wrong, watching gameplay it looks alot smoother

[sturdy summit]

that's a very good question. I have no idea!

[bronze shore]

I intended to get it and use it on twisted heart

So i can spec into ele nova

[next lance]

i wonder how much that would auction for, I play on circle of fortune

[bronze shore]

Map wide nuke with multi cast frost claw

I have 3 rune of creation

[obsidian bear]

there somthing to check builds on that are up to date?

[bronze shore]

Should be able to dupe 3 time

[sturdy summit]

you can only dupe once

rune of creation sets both items forging potential to 0

[sturdy summit]

lastepochtools is your best bet

note there are two places for builds: build guides and builds have different stuff.

[winter crow]

yes, you only need t6 to spec into ele nova if you run unstable core chest

[bronze shore]

True

[obsidian bear]

whuts the difrence xd

[bronze shore]

But 28% though

Maybe it actually a good thing is 28%?

[sturdy summit]

build guides have more in depth explanations, while builds usually links to a youtube video or just a planner. But the builds tend to be more up to date than the guides, since they're also lower effort.

[obsidian bear]

hmm alright, trying to get into mage just dunno what path to pic

[bronze shore]

I could potentionally sarcifce a bit of more mana to get more dmg

But it would probally really hurt my mana bar

[sturdy summit]

there are popular options for both cold and lightning. lightning is likely the strongest, but cold is good too. Fire is probably the weakest of the three.

[bronze shore]

Need a way to farm money too

They nerf key farm

😭

[sturdy summit]

oh, and if you meant in terms of subclasses, runemaster is in the best spot right now. Spellblade and Sorc are a bit neglected.

[obsidian bear]

so a lightning/cold runemaster build is the go to then

[bronze shore]

Runemaster is the best because of their ward gen and frost guard

And that enough to outclass sorc and blade

[tranquil crater]

can someone explain to me the point of a skill point that states it improves cast speed for instant cast spells? i gotta be missing something

[bronze shore]

You cast it faster?

[tranquil crater]

faster than instant?

[bronze shore]

Every thing in this game is insta cast

[tranquil crater]

exactly my point

[lunar elbow]

no it isn't

[sturdy summit]

no, most things are not instacast

[tranquil crater]

i guess except channeled

[lunar elbow]

actual instant cast skills in this game, when you cast them, do not stop you from moving

[sturdy summit]

cast speed is a fraction of a second. This isn't an MMORPG where you stand around casting for 1.5 to 3 seconds. But cast speed is not 0 for most things.

[bronze shore]

Make sense i guess

[lunar elbow]

if you stop for even a frame when casting it, it has a cast time

it becomes super apparent on falconer that has a node that just says "all your falcon skills are instant cast" but you might have thought they already were instant cast before, but when you pick that node they become actual instant cast and can be used while running full speed

[sturdy summit]

and then you just zoom off into the sunset

[mellow flume]

Are there any runemaster build that utilize a bunch of runic invocation?

like I want to roleplay an invoker in LE lol

[bronze shore]

Plasma orb i guess

[tranquil crater]

got it. thanks. i see the base speed stat on the skill now. i missed that before. just seems its instant cast.

[bronze shore]

U invoke 2 rune

Plasma orb and frost guard

And u need to cycle it while fighting enemy

[sturdy summit]

there was that Wild Magic build that casts random invocations. I bet it's not good, but it's probably fun.

and by not good, I mean it probably won't get you really far in corruption pushing, but if you're roleplaying, pushing corruption isn't the point

[bronze shore]

Mad alch ladle 2LP isnt that expensive right?

[sturdy summit]

I have one, but I'm CoF

[bronze shore]

Kewk

[crimson raft]

I have 2x 1LP's, no 2LP, COF.

Just gotta grind every exiled mage you see and pray

[bronze shore]

I just notice it have a 1% cast speed per 2 int

Pretty op

Excellent for frost claw too

[sturdy summit]

I need to farm an entirely new set of gear so I can change my build.

[prisma patio]

I havent seen any builds being passed around that aren't using flame rush or whatever to cast invocation, so they just get the one invocation every time, either plasma orb or the frost shield.

I think I'm going to post up my ignite build just to put something else out there

[sturdy summit]

a lot of people ask for ignite builds, it would be good to have something to refer them to.

[bronze shore]

I want to use this so badly

[sturdy summit]

Used Unique Items:

• All of Them

[glossy quarry]

you only need mad alchemist ladle and fragment of the enigma

the first is a pain to get

[bronze shore]

Fr

[crimson raft]

Hmm, so frost claw to trigger ele nova to get spark charges basically?

[glossy quarry]

over 100 exile mages killed, no mad alchemist ladle drops

[bronze shore]

Yes

[sturdy summit]

CoF or MG?

[glossy quarry]

CoF

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMz4j1EnGqU&ab_channel=WolfsGoRawr

that's the build

it is really good

[bronze shore]

Normally u can just spec into it but since im using multi cast i need the t6/t7 frost claw with unstable core to be able to spec into ele nova

[buoyant bloom]

Quick question: Does Burning Aura from Focus grant less damage taken from Ignited Enemies only while it's being channeled, or passively? The wording isn't quite clear; it specifically mentions that the ignite chance is only while channeled, but not damage resist

[bronze shore]

Seems similar to the build im following too

[glossy quarry]

how to deal with the mana issue? it is just annoying

[sturdy summit]

mana efficiency idols

[crimson raft]

Eh, i think i prefer this spark version, but nova looks very fun too 🙂
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkwJg5IdDYA

[sturdy summit]

I don't see a Burning Aura on Flame Ward

[crimson valve]

Damn just snatched a Vilatria storm crown for 0g 🥲 max light pen

[sturdy summit]

I gave one of those to a friend with a resonance, and had another one drop immediately afterwards

[buoyant bloom]

Sorry, on Focus*

[normal cipher]

how to get resonance?

[sturdy summit]

play together

[crimson valve]

My first time going Vilatria mage. I only know that build exists, trying to come up with my own without build guides

[frozen sleet]

Nice I'm probably using it on my sorc already then

[bronze shore]

It sad that you only equipped to 2 of them

[sturdy summit]

my friends and I have alts we only play on together, so they stay at about the same power level. But the resonances we get are account-bound, so we can use them to trade between our mains.

[crimson valve]

Guys what ward mechanic do you suggest for a meteor lightning sorc?

[normal cipher]

Lost Knowledge

[crimson valve]

Is Mana spent gained as ward a good one?

[sturdy summit]

that's a good way to get ward, yes

just in general

[normal cipher]

There's some boots that give you ward based on current mana every 2 seconds

when you stop to cast

[crimson valve]

Oh yeah I think I have those. I was also thinking going LB with the node that makes it chain on single target and getting the ward on hit. Might have to try that.

[normal cipher]

until I went fractured crown, I loved those boots

[glossy quarry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lJPWBhhoL4&ab_channel=PerrythePig

[normal cipher]

But, then you scale with CURRNET mana, and mana spent.

[glossy quarry]

perry's version seems cheaper than the enigma version

and you get inf armor stacking due to shock

but frozen ire needs mana efficiency until you get a frozen ire with spell damage and reduced mana cost

[winter crow]

hmm I just tested the ward on cast fc perk and might be worth to sacrifice the auto target to lower mana cost and take off points from mana eff to get ward on cast, my ward on this boss increased from like 35-38k to 43-48k https://gyazo.com/562515682a004fe4188b39a4404efdb0

https://gyazo.com/cba1a6e539aa0db4ac18939935617c51 this is my frostclaw tree for reference, no mana issues

and 0 mana regen

[crimson valve]

i mean isn't 35k already enough x)??

[bronze shore]

Probably a bit weaker too

[glossy quarry]

I am trying to find a cheaper version of the ele nova fc

but it's jsut hard

is so point hungry

[winter crow]

No, I still get killed by shade if I dont dodge some stuff XD

[bronze shore]

I think at that point you can just go full frostbite frost claw instead

[crimson valve]

what corruption? I had a 20k ward ignite frost claw RM and I could just stand still at about 200c

[winter crow]

theres no cheap version, the build scales alot but its unplayable without the needed stats

[winter crow]

1.5k corr is my highest mono

[bronze shore]

Since i doubt without the multi cast the map clear wouldnt be as sastisfying as multi cast nova

[crimson valve]

oh ok u on a different game ahah

[sturdy summit]

neat, could I check out your build planner on lastepochtools for reference?

[winter crow]

ill post it later, still tweaking and testing stuff

[sturdy summit]

thanks

[bronze shore]

T6 or T7 frost claw

Hmm

So expensive

Wish there a way i can just farm money easily lol

[winter crow]

go t6

t7 isnt needed

[sturdy summit]

if only they hadn't removed the CoF key farming exploit lol

honestly, they should have removed Arena Key as a CoF prophecy rather than nerfing the vendor price. Arena Key doesn't need to be a prophecy, they're already an echo reward.

[glossy quarry]

Damn it

If I convert frost claw to fire but use fragment of enigma would I be dealing too much of different damage?

And thus be inneficient?

[frozen sleet]

Ward per second and ward per mana spent are probably the best ways to gain ward then? I have 420 retention I think that's decent no?

[sturdy summit]

yes

[winter crow]

they should also add an option to hide nova on bosses xd that would be so helpfull

[glossy quarry]

Rick

[sturdy summit]

or they should have better outlining of enemy AoEs underneath all those effects. Take a cue from how FF14 does it, they have very visible enemy AOE markers.

[glossy quarry]

Man why ele nova is so expensive reee

[normal cipher]

Im getting a small amount of ward with fractured crown... is that a bug, or do I not understand what 0 ward means

[glossy quarry]

Best thing about only using the second cast and having high area of effect is that explosions overlap

[indigo isle]

Question for spellblades - Shattering Strike seems BiS byfar from all of the options because of the 240% crit mult from swords (And the rest of the nodes are really nice too)

Anyone creative enough to try and think of something stronger?

[glossy quarry]

There is nothing stronger than shatter strike

Double ice chop chop

Unless

Mana strike proccing lighting strike and frost claw

[indigo isle]

Fireband has a similar crit mult (with no swords requirement!) node but you'd need 12 stacks to match the 240% crit mult which I'm not even sure is possible to get

[indigo isle]

That can potentially be stronger?

[glossy quarry]

But you would need insane attack speed

Because lighting strike can easily cap crit

If it chains to you

And frost claw with single target node works

And you won’t need mana for casting frost claw

Dread made a build about this

It might have gotten stronger for new patch

[bronze shore]

I just watch the comment of some video

And it so sad that some people just dont read lmao

They be like uh dur why my rune order is “C,C,F” but ur is “C,F,C”

[sturdy summit]

this is why when someone comes in and all they care about is what's the best build, you should never give them an answer. It makes it too easy for them to continue to not read.

[hoary basalt]

serious question are they going to change mana swipe or swing or w/e so that if i I click to attack a target I walk into engagement range?

[bronze shore]

Acolyte wonder why he keep getting bleed to death with harvest

[hoary basalt]

it says melee but behaves like an aoe?

[bronze shore]

So on and so fort

[sturdy summit]

Try putting it on your left click

[hoary basalt]

oh I see

thank you

[slow canopy]

Question for y'all, I just got the game a few days ago (absolutely addicted to it) and wanted to go for a mage build, I was thinking of mainly using fireball, meteor and mana strike with lightning for damage and rely on ward and dodge for survivability, is that a feasable idea for endgame content or should I switch up now (if it's not too late already having mastered Sorcerer, lvl 31 currently)

[bronze shore]

31 is quite early

[quick herald]

Suggestions on braindead-ish runemaster builds? Just got into empowered monoliths and have been running maxrolls plasmaorb build for a bit, but its kinda tedious. I do love the speed of it though

[sturdy summit]

try any build that uses frostguard. No rune management needed, you have fixed rune order.

[bronze shore]

All runemaster are braindead

[eager veldt]

is critical stirke chance work for spells? or only crit spell chance

[sturdy summit]

crit strike chance is all skills

[final oasis]

Playing Spark charge build 🙂 its braindead 1 button

[hoary basalt]

Static - is braindead ergo all mage are braindead grr arrg

[prisma patio]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/oP6jqxJQ

This is my ignite build that manually casts three different runic invocations: Aergon's Greater Fireball (for clearing trash), Igneous Rain (For bosses and yellow mobs), and Reowyn's Frost Guard (for staying alive). It's not incredible, I just got it to empowered and it's doing okay but I'm also still level 88 so I am punching above my weight. As long as I pay attention I can stay alive, but it's not incredibly safe and could be faster. My passives are also a bit of a mess and I could be itemized much better. My gear right now is a bit split between flat damage and DOT. Pre-empowered monos it rips things up.

[quick herald]

Anyone wanna link a solid spark charge build?=

[bronze shore]

Tbf if you feel the game is too easy

Or you feel that the build you using is too braindead

Play on HC

[sturdy summit]

^ good advice

[bronze shore]

And suddenly your braindead build become the weakest thing in existence

[hoary basalt]

I don't feel that way my mage goes splat a lot

[spare shuttle]

Would anyone know which lagon grand blessing is best for a lightning build, between chance to shock on hit (am not capped on shock stacks currently) and chance to shred lightning res on hit? I assume the latter?

[bronze shore]

Yes

The latter

There no way you think shock is better

[hoary basalt]

omg why am I building a frost wall sorceror

[bronze shore]

And i dont think people play lightning build stack shock anyway

[hoary basalt]

it's easy leveling

[bronze shore]

Clearly he on emp mono

[spare shuttle]

Ye I was farming for the empowered lightning res but got that one on the way

[slow canopy]

Ah good to know lol Any recommendation for how I should go about my idea?

[glossy quarry]

Play a HP build

[bronze shore]

Famous last word

Or as they said

[blissful hearth]

what's the min-maxy way to scale a single skill between 2 prefixes? (for on-hit and DoT?)

[bronze shore]

“Over confidence is a slow and insidious killer”

I was super over confidence on my runemaster at lv 76 on HC

[blissful hearth]

do you go flat specific element + % specific element?

[bronze shore]

Thinking i wouldnt die then die to a brust of 30 poision stack

F those scalebane enemy

I would arugeably consider scalebane archtype to be the strongest enemy in the game

The amount of poison they applied on to you is illegal

[sturdy summit]

I'm not sure there's a general way to do that. It depends a lot on what particular skill you're scaling, because each skill has its own quirks in its spec tree.

[crimson raft]

No. Osprix lightmages.

Most evil.

[bronze shore]

What that small circle over there

Bomb 5k dmg crit

[sturdy summit]

or it might go completely off the rails with specific uniques. For example, I scale my damage with freeze chance, because my boots give me cold pen with frostbite based on freeze rate.

[crimson raft]

Tiiiing Stunned, and 10x more nuke lights.

[bronze shore]

Also wtf with rayleh archer

They deal so much dmg

I hate the stun sound so much

It like an insult

[sturdy summit]

I don't want to miss getting stunned, so I appreciate the stun sound's usability

[blissful hearth]

i see - don't judge but i'm specifically trying to max out BH and i saw the elemental DoT goes up to 220% but i'm also running frost claw/ice barrage/elemental nova, so i'm guessing in that case cold % and spell % is the best (in terms of gear at least)

[bronze shore]

Remind me of that water giant guy

[crimson raft]

Honestly what i hate the most are those glacial DOT artillery things. They just melt, and the stuff shoots INSTANTLY once you're in the mono.

[hoary basalt]

why so confusing

[bronze shore]

First hit stun 2nd hit water pillar insta kill

[bronze shore]

Fr

[hoary basalt]

snowballing on flame rush - converts base lightning on flame rush to cold? It's a fire spell? Oooh

nm

I can read

[bronze shore]

F those ice golem

[blissful hearth]

i don't know if i run frostbite on claw and barrage, run dot element % and dot % i could get a higher % but frostbite on base is kind low compared to all the ignite stuff avaiilable

(at least on sorc side)

[sturdy summit]

I don't know black hole at all, so the one thing I can add is that I heard you say Spell Damage and DoT in the same breath, so I'm obligated to warn you that Spell damage does not apply to DoTs unless they're also spells. Glyph of Dominion is a DoT spell. Frostbite and Ignite are not spell damage, however.

[blissful hearth]

yeah BH is a spell

[bronze shore]

I only heard frost bite frost claw for RM but rarely on sorc

[blissful hearth]

it's a dot spell, so i was thinking min-maxinig on BH/frost wall usinig dot% and elemental dot % sinice those are the highest scaling, and relying on frostbite from frost claw + ice barrage nodes

[sturdy summit]

frostbite scales very well with freeze chance once you get Snowdrift Boots, so it has itemization support that makes it better than it might look on its own.

however, that might not mesh well if you want to use black hole as well.

[blissful hearth]

the thing is BH doesn't have freeze

[sturdy summit]

because those boots will do nothing for your black hole damage

[blissful hearth]

yeah

and freeze on hit doesn't work with BH cuz it's not a hit

[sturdy summit]

the cold pen scales with your freeze chance, not with the spell attempting to freeze, so that's not really the issue.

but if the spell could freeze, it would at least add some synergy to the combo

[blissful hearth]

but it's not liike BH tics very fast anyway, so i was just thinking how to make BH hit as chonky as possible (and the other spells can tag along for the ride))

[sturdy summit]

I see a node on Black Hole called Gravity's Guile.

it makes Black Hole's center hit

but it deals physical damage, not cold ;_;

[blissful hearth]

i haven't actually tested it yet since i'm not sure if it's a single hit or repeated ticks

and it's way out of the way in the tree

[sturdy summit]

maybe the way to use black hole isn't to have it be your main damage dealer, but just as utility to pack a whole bunch of enemies together

[blissful hearth]

but okay just a quick head's up, given any spell outside of unique interactions, what are the priority stats to stack in terms of % for a single element?

[blissful hearth]

tried it, even with max pull range and area nodes, BH doesn't really suck in as much as i'd want sadly 😦

[sturdy summit]

well, flat damage is quite valuable, but the answer is really that you want a mix. The more flat damage you have, the more valuable increased damage becomes.

[blissful hearth]

would it then be flat spell/cold > % spell > % cold > % element?

[sturdy summit]

increased spell and increased cold have the same ranges. They're interchangeable if you're doing cold AND spell damage. Increased Elemental damage is worse.

[blissful hearth]

gotcha - what about pen, where does this fit in

[sturdy summit]

there is no spell pen, only <Resist> Pen.

it's quite valuable

as you can tell by how little of it you get from an affix compared to Increased Damage

I'm not sure affixes are a good way to get pen

[blissful hearth]

alright, that's good to know

i'm gonna trry and shift from frostbite/dot to just pump out pure damage

i might pick up arcane ascendance but it's really bad QoL wise

[sturdy summit]

you probably want to stack int, tbh

[blissful hearth]

why int?

[sturdy summit]

mages get a lot of things to improve how well int scales, and int scales both your damage and your defense because of ward retention.

and as a sorc, you'll probably have problems with defense

so you want that ward retention

[blissful hearth]

i've been building hp and armor lmao

[sturdy summit]

[normal cipher]

same

[blissful hearth]

i tried going ward

but it just felt too jank

probably because i'm not geared/high level enough yet

[sturdy summit]

if you're not doing ward, I honestly don't know how to advise you. That's outside what I know.

[blissful hearth]

ah dw i was just wondering why int specifically - unless the math is different int only goes up to 64% per prefix

and sorc doesn't really have many int nodes

[sturdy summit]

maybe int stacking is one of those things you have to be a runemaster to get the most out of.

[blissful hearth]

there's a crit node but BH can't crit

🤣 🤣 🤣

[sturdy summit]

yeah, the other stat I would tell you to stack is crit, btw

[indigo isle]

What can I do to make my spellblade faster? (Other than rolling movespeed on boots)

[blissful hearth]

BH just needs to hit repeatedly instead of being a dot ngl... but yeah thanks for the info

[sturdy summit]

take a look at the passives in sorc and runemage trees that increase movespeed under certain conditions.

[sturdy summit]

also, you can get movespeed on belt or ring with certain uniques/implicits

[brisk sierra]

Question! can the tooltip dmg of the Frostbite Dot been seen anywhere ingame? think how high dmg the dot has.

[sturdy summit]

C menu, Other tab

[brisk sierra]

thanks mate!

[indigo isle]

For runemaster I'd need to invest around 28 points to get 10% (Questionable if it's actually worth the investment) and sorc doesn't really have any solutions as they all relate to spells and I'm melee

Rings are just a matter of RNG i suppose

[sturdy summit]

oh right, the one in sorc I was thinking of is spells only, isn't it. of course.

yep, just hope for those good movespeed items, I guess.

[indigo isle]

Cheers

[normal cipher]

I can only have 1 unique equipped right?>

[sturdy summit]

no

the name unique is not meaningful

[normal cipher]

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[sturdy summit]

they should have called them "artifacts" or something more neutral

[normal cipher]

So I can have 2 Herilooms of hte Last Nomad equpped?

[indigo isle]

I think "Exalted" would've fit "Legendary" more lol
And "Unique" should've been "Legendary"
Exalted could've been like, I don't know, Super-rare or whatever the heck

[naive hamlet]

With crest of unity equipped granting tri-elemental nova, does +50% elemental damage actually mean +50% +50% +50% = +150% increase?

Comparing +50% spell damage vs +50% elemental damage.

Normally ele nova would be 1/3 chance each element, so total would be +50% effective...how does crest of unity work? Does it just make it do 33/33/33% damage of each type per hit?

[sturdy summit]

They could have called purples Epics, but then that would sound too much like WoW

[sturdy summit]

no

now let me explain

the tags don't matter with damage

unlike with other things, only the actual damage component matters

so if you have +50% elemental damage, it will give +50% to the fire component, +50% to the cold component, and another +50% to the lightning component

so you're still better off getting Spell Damage if you're using Crest of Unity

because Spell Damage rolls higher than Elemental Damage

crest of unity makes your ele nova always deal tri-elemental damage, but if you're specced into specific nova types, it will still alternate between those types!

so if you have frost nova and fire nova, you will cast frost nova 50% of the time, but every time it will hit with the base 6/6/6 tri-elemental damage.

@naive hamlet makes sense?

[glossy quarry]

wait what

[glossy quarry]

so the independent novas are mutually exclusive from crest of unity

thats nice

[sturdy summit]

they are orthogonal to what crest of unity does to the damage type

[glossy quarry]

ah that's a

there is another skill that does that

[sturdy summit]

if you only have frost nova, your elemental nova is still a frost nova and has cold type

[glossy quarry]

nice

[sturdy summit]

but that cold type frost nova will deal damage with 3 damage components: cold, fire, and lightning, and so you need Spell Damage to improve all three of those.

but effects that trigger when you cast a Cold Spell, or that modify Frost Nova specifically, trigger on that frost nova

and if you have multiple nova types, they will alternate between those types still.

and trigger the corresponding effects only when that nova triggers

[dull zodiac]

Hi fellow mages, is there a runemaster bis that would use Wrongwarp properly considering I wasted my luck on a 3lp of one of those

[strong spoke]

wrongwarp?

[glossy quarry]

my brain entered galaxy mode, nice

[strong spoke]

what's wrong warp

[dull zodiac]

A wand

[glossy quarry]

wand that randomly teleports when u use bodyswap or teleport

[strong spoke]

lmao

why use that?

[sturdy summit]

I agonized for a week trying to figure out how this worked. I finally got clarification from the devs.

[dull zodiac]

Cause it gives a lot of bonuses other than the random teleport and it has 3lp on it.

[strong spoke]

oh

fair enough

what does it give

[sturdy summit]

there is some very strong wrongwarp build out there for runemaster. probably a version of spark charge. I don't know anything about it.

[humble rune]

im in the process of a sorc warp with nova on tele

[muted elbow]

@strong spoke hi

[strong spoke]

I posted my build above, did you have any questions?

@strong spoke i only have 7% ward retention

you don't need to @ me every time, this chat is slow enough that I can see the message. You just need to click on the link of my build and it will tell you every source of ward I have

[frozen sleet]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/QWXN6G4B ok finally got this on LEtools to share. damage feels good at 200 Corr im more wondering if this will be tanky enough for a push build ( looking for suggestions on endurance threshold and percentage) basic idea is LB for bossing static to clear and give me aegis all the time.

[frozen sleet]

any suggestions are welcome i just enjoy this playstyle and want to minmax it

[strong spoke]

have you considered damage to mana before health and exsanguinous?

fragment of the enigma is also pretty important for a lightning build

[frozen sleet]

im willing to try that

[strong spoke]

if you are gonna try exsanguinous, I recommend last steps of the living to double dip on the ward per missing health

[frozen sleet]

i have those boots ill write that down and try it out and youre right about fragment WPS and the other damage boosting modifiers

[strong spoke]

you realy want mana increasing items and damage to mana before health

it increases sustain by such a large amount that it is not even funny

[normal mural]

Does Rune Sap replace Rage Sap in the Mana Strike tree?

[strong spoke]

resisitances matter less for your build cause you are doing % damage taken anyway

[fast zenith]

aight got a backlog of ascendence runes, what would be good to try and roll for a spark charge nova setup? Have been rolling with a pure pyro build and want to change it

[strong spoke]

which nodes are those?

[normal mural]

The Global Damage and Global spell damage on the top right

[strong spoke]

fragment of the enigma, unless it's drop only, dagorath's claw or however it is spelt if doing lightning

[frozen sleet]

ok let me make another build real quick with those attributes ill need a crown helm too

[strong spoke]

where is rage sap

[sturdy summit]

Fragment of the Enigma is a common, and one of your core items on spark charge

[strong spoke]

oh right bfore it

I think they stack

[fast zenith]

thanks I'll look into that

[fast zenith]

so its off hand or relic?

[sturdy summit]

offhand

[normal mural]

Right before Teleporting strikes

[fast zenith]

Gonna be honest like 80% of all my unique drops have been primalist and acolyte stuff

[sturdy summit]

a catalyst, to be precise

[strong spoke]

for relic, you want to farm reign of dragons for twisted heart, unless you in merchant's guild, then buy one with 2-3 LP if you can

[mystic sparrow]

Did Flame Reave get nerfed for 1.0 or something? Trying to get a spellblade rolling with lightning FReave and Surge, but Reave is hitting for like 20k, which feels like nothing...

[fast zenith]

I mighta not even finished campaign and just dived into monos for 26 levels o_o'

[strong spoke]

lightning's main damage source is spark charge stacking, and LB via dragorath's claw

[strong spoke]

do dungeon skip if you have the keys

[sturdy summit]

I hate the dungeon skip, because it leaves all the uncompleted campaign quests in your log to taunt you.

[normal mural]

Might be something on my gear cause when I stripped my character sheet is reflecting that they are functioning together

[strong spoke]

spec into lightning ward and enchant weapon to deal increased lightning damage

[mystic sparrow]

Yeah, going for the spark charge stacking thing...So before Dragonwrath claw Im kinda screwed, eh?

[strong spoke]

you can roll for the dagger with runes of ascendance, or buy from player market

[safe grail]

flame reave got nerfed several patches ago

[strong spoke]

but otherwise yeah kinda

[mystic sparrow]

I have all that setup, melee aspd, enchant weap and all...but feels lacking

[strong spoke]

mana strike is a better spark charge stacking skill

[mystic sparrow]

hmmm

[strong spoke]

it has 100% chance to apply spark charge

this is my spark charge spellblade

[mystic sparrow]

Is that the one frost claw one? Yeah, I see it...

[glossy quarry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LGe4rPZgtE&ab_channel=MacinBrzeski

beautiful

amazing

gameplay is boom boom boom

[mystic sparrow]

Thanks...I play HC, just need to see how to get some ward in there and defenses...I guess those rings that give ward on hit?

[strong spoke]

HC?

[mystic sparrow]

Hardcore

[strong spoke]

ah

[strong spoke]

ngl I used them mainly for % health increase

[normal mural]

Hmmmm, maybe the character sheet was bugged or lagging before cause I put everything back on one at a time and it seems to be working again

[strong spoke]

cause exsanguinous cares about health and % is better than flat for hp scaling

but ward on hit is very good

[abstract veldt]

hi all; i am playuing madlightning build but after +400 corruption it is not enough i think.. anyone can offer anybuild for farming 400-1000 corruption? thank you..

[strong spoke]

you didn't even say your class

??

[abstract veldt]

runemaster-madlight

[safe grail]

he is playing pinchloaf's mad lightning build

[strong spoke]

ngl the only things my runemaster care about are Greater Fireball (triple flame invo) and the largest glyph of dominion I can make

[lethal wedge]

What are the IDEAL slams on mad alchs ladle.
Crit Multi
Cast Speed
Crit Chance?
SPell Damage?

[safe grail]

it is plenty from 400-1k corrupt, you just need better gear most likely.

[safe grail]

cast speed, crit multi, penetration, spell dmg, crit chance

[strong spoke]

all of those and penetration yes

[nova stirrup]

prefix ailment ring shard drop rate OR two handed spear shard drop rate

[sturdy summit]

you're a mage, you don't use spears

[nova stirrup]

yerrr a wizard hary

[dull cairn]

Lol i just learned you can cast focus while still on arcane ascendance

[sturdy summit]

the boys at the back of the bar call that a chaser

[vocal folio]

Hello folks, is there a build similar to Enki Arc witch in poe ?

[rare hare]

you can, I have spear with armor shred

[sturdy summit]

my point still stands

[strong spoke]

generally speaking mages prefer to have a catalyst in offhand

but if it works for you, then all the more power to you

[sturdy summit]

as general advice, I would not suggest a mage get increased spear shard drop rate. If you're doing something weird, you don't need to ask us for that decision.

[rare hare]

I am mage and using spear, as I said, so your point dont stand and so far cruushing content. Will I swap it later? yeah I will, but I am using it now

[sturdy summit]

you didn't need to ask our advice on which blessing to get. Your experience isn't relevent to giving newbie advice.

[frosty cliff]

does anyone have a guide for this build? https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/xxdogxx/character/catIm I'm currently on Hydra but I'm seeing alot of lightning topping the leaderboard. Can anyone help me with the build currently being used.

[mental cloud]

Do you guys hide exalted items? Im getting swamped with exalted drops that i dont care about but it feels wrong to hide em 😄

[verbal juniper]

if you get too many, hide em

[humble rune]

is ward a sorcs main defense outside of resists and mana before health?

[sturdy summit]

Yes. I hide exalted items. I don't even show items if they're less than exalted unless I'm hunting for shatters.

[mental cloud]

Makes sense

Ill try it out

[sturdy summit]

at a certain point, Exalted becomes the new Rare

[mental cloud]

It sure feels like it. I also dont really look hard at many of them if they are not the base im looking for

[strong spoke]

you can filter to only show exalteds with the affixes you want

[sturdy summit]

I don't limit my base items anymore. You want them all for smashing into legendaries.

[unborn hamlet]

if u play CoF, u wont even look at exalts that are not T7

and even most of those u wont pick up

😂

[mental cloud]

My build doesnt really use many uniques so idk...

[unborn hamlet]

the way i filter them is by name and surname

[sturdy summit]

the thing I find easiest to do now is to filter by which affixes I want to be T6 or T7, instead of looking at total tiers.

[unborn hamlet]

if its exalted with a prefix/suffix name i need

ill look at it

if it doesnt have the names i need, i know the T6/T7 are stats i dont need

if u didnt knew

the item will take name of the affix and suffix depending on the highest tier it has

[sturdy summit]

what you're saying sounds like you don't hide everything by default.

[quick herald]

My first 4lp drop and its the damn bee gloves 😭

[unborn hamlet]

i hide everything that doesnt have any prefix/suffix i dont need

but a lot of items drop with at least 1 of em

and im way too lazy to filter that out too

[sturdy summit]

maybe I should turn it back to only showing one suffix and one prefix

I have it set to show all

[unborn hamlet]

its not too hard to learn the names tbh

[sturdy summit]

what I really want to do is have 2 different Affix conditions in the same rule. I want it to have at least 1 T6 affix in a certain list, and then any of 2 more affixes from a different list.

[unborn hamlet]

can be done

with 3 or 4 rules tho

😂

[sturdy summit]

I have 3 or 4 different rules, and then I just muck through the edge cases manually, but having 2 affix rules would be better.

I'm going to hit the max rules limit at this rate!

because I actually have 3 or 4 different rules for each item type

[unborn hamlet]

thats why i dont bother with tweaking it

anyway

u seen my juicy slam?

dropped 2LP crest of unity, and got best outcome craft

+6 nova too

[sturdy summit]

nice

[frosty cliff]

guys what's a good lightning build or elemental nova that i can use? Can't find any videos on the build topping arena. CAn someone help please ❤️ ?

[severe iris]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AkwJg5IdDYA

[sturdy summit]

the words you're looking for are Spark Charge

[frosty cliff]

Thank you so much!

any advice on how to transition from Hydra to that? I'm still trying to get stronger with my hydra so i don't want to respec and drop off. Should I keep farming Hydra or the build i want to transition to?

[sturdy summit]

what level are you

[unborn hamlet]

Hydra was nerfed, thats why it doesnt feel too good

it used to be the top build

[frosty cliff]

100

yeah i know 😦 Sadge

[unborn hamlet]

from what i heard it was not a simple nerf either

it was actually butchered like a pig

[frosty cliff]

yeah quite significant i just read today which is why i want to switch

[unborn hamlet]

cant wait for the same to happen to all them infinite ward shield abusing warlocks

😂

[sturdy summit]

if you're already deep in corruption pushing, you probably want to farm the items you need before you switch.

or you might be in for a bad time

[frosty cliff]

fair enough. Ill start doing that. Good thing ive been saving all the uniques

[unborn hamlet]

ye, make the build first, then respec skills is a matter of 2-3 runs on exp tomes

[frosty cliff]

thanks a bunch ❤️

[unborn hamlet]

also

before u go with spark charge

i wanna present u with 1 more similiar build

[frosty cliff]

sure thing

looking for something a little more exciting and obviously stronger

[unborn hamlet]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWB6Gtdy9vY

this one is insane imo, will try that on new cycle

[sturdy summit]

there are so many varieties of spark charge to choose from

[frosty cliff]

niceeei might try that.

what is he playing: https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/Warlen/character/WarlenRunemast?

[sturdy summit]

new cycle will probably be completely different. Expect a lot of balance changes.

[frosty cliff]

having tp and flame ward together.

[sturdy summit]

what about tp and flame ward together?

[frosty cliff]

my bad confused it with flame rush

[sturdy summit]

oh yeah, totally different

[frosty cliff]

what build is he playiong though

[sturdy summit]

flame ward is so good, especially stacked with frostguard

[sturdy summit]

could that be plasma orb?

[unborn hamlet]

thats plasma orb

yea

with reowyns instead of wrong warp

[frosty cliff]

interesting

[unborn hamlet]

its a skill rotation build dependant on potion use too

hard to master, but juicy dps if u can do it consistently

anyway, back to the shackle mines

[sturdy summit]

shackled to shackle farming, so meta

[unborn hamlet]

spent 200k favor today on sceptres, no luck on 3LP frozen ire continues

[sturdy summit]

do you have the t7 spellslinger ready to smash into it?

[unborn hamlet]

i have perfect rolled 2LP, would be fine if i hit T7 spell and cast speed on the slam

but i have nothing to slam into it

i do, my base weapon

but im not gonna risk it on a 2LP

[sturdy summit]

I will definitely use a rune of creation on t7 spellslinger once I find one.

[unborn hamlet]

i can sacrifice 200% freeze rate for the ire, if 2LP only

can still tweak my freeze rate with BiS belt, and top roll blessing

only got 240% on blessing rn

my belt still so trash , all the god roll spider silks always screw me over with forging

even managed to seal T4 spell dmg on one

and then got screwed over by -20 by adding freeze rate to it

[sturdy summit]

ding it once: -43 forging potential

[unborn hamlet]

so real

[rocky gale]

when the hell does plasma orb get good? sitting here okay starting gear and it just feels so clunky and like it does no damage to bosses

[strong spoke]

plasma orb the fireball passive?

[glossy quarry]

Man

Ele nova frost claw kills my eyes so bad

But it’s so satisfactory to boom everything

[sturdy summit]

plasma orb is a runic invocation spell

FLF, I think?

unless it's LFL

[rocky gale]

Yeah that

[sturdy summit]

it's FLF

[rocky gale]

It just feel like crap and my gear isn't terrible, i have a ladel with 2 LP waiting to get smashed and a few other good items the build neems but it just hits for like 1-2k its so weak

[sturdy summit]

have you watched any videos on how it's supposed to be played?

[glossy quarry]

Were the rune bolt explosions fixed? Can they overlap now?

[rocky gale]

yeah you just make your buff then your orbs and send it, its not hard but its a lot of micro

[empty hawk]

Havent made any good experiences with ladle either, i went for reowyn dodge armor build

[sturdy summit]

I dunno, I don't know that build to say what's wrong, but it sure sounds like you're missing some critical part of the combo.

[empty hawk]

But expensive to setup

[empty hawk]

You need to have 100% uptime on lightning aegis and have the idols for cast speed, that makes a big difference

[rocky gale]

Making this work though seems ot be really late game when you can roll dodge on everything and get the right drops

until then idk what to run

[sturdy summit]

try frost claw! frost? lightning? take your pick!

[empty hawk]

I mean its great from lvl 80+ you just need the uniques and gold for it

[rocky gale]

I might just be lazy and run a fireball build since i have a bunch of good uniques for it that dropped... idk what else to do at this point.. level 65 doing monos and only hitting for 2k

[empty hawk]

I am at 80% armor and 80% dodge i get 400 flat spell power from my staff

[empty hawk]

Just go hydra until you get better gear, hydra is awesome fun and fast paced

[wild apex]

plasma orb has been my best aoe as runemaster for ages

[empty hawk]

If you are merchant you can literally buy 3lp hydrae relic for 0 gold

[rocky gale]

my main is COF so i have just been doing that since it keeps my rank and favor

merchants seems kinda whack to me, buying bis gear is meh

[strong spoke]

oh the one that orbits you?

[glossy quarry]

Big boy orb

[strong spoke]

Greater Fireball is just better imo

just visually

idk about damage

but runemaster is very much a visually appealing class with most spells

[lapis wedge]

is it worth playing selfignite with flamereave ?

[fiery flame]

How is the spellblade? Fun to play?

[lapis wedge]

its ok

[strong spoke]

very fun, but not in the best place damage wise

it has decent sustain and decent enough damage

but it could do with a few buffs to every skill a few things

[lyric topaz]

when combining unique/exalted at sanctum does the tier of your affixes matter on the exaltedd item?

[strong spoke]

yes

[fiery flame]

Fair nuff

[strong spoke]

the stat of the item is directly placed on the exalted

[lyric topaz]

oof okay

[strong spoke]

so if it's a low tier, and you get the low tier stat, you have wasted your time

[sturdy summit]

I'm waiting until next season to try spellblade.

[lyric topaz]

if unique is a dagger, the exalted has to be a dagger too?

[strong spoke]

It's my main class, and it's not like I struggle, it's just a bit longer clear

[sturdy summit]

yes

[fiery flame]

Fair

[sturdy summit]

the item types must match when making a legendary

[lyric topaz]

okay thanks

implicits dont go into legendary right only the affixes?

[sturdy summit]

right

and no sealed affixes either. only prefixes and suffixes

[honest grove]

I got stuff for both rune master and fireball which one would people recommend?

[lapis wedge]

250 right now

[versed wadi]

hey guys is the fractured crown still craftable? or there is another way to do it now?

[sturdy summit]

one is a subclass and the other is a skill that subclass can use. Is this supposed to be mutually exclusive?

[honest grove]

More so is it worth going mage or is it worth playing rune master

[sturdy summit]

runemaster is a mage. what are you asking?

the way that sorc positions being a glass cannon as part of the class fantasy seems really fishy. You're saying up front that you don't want to be tanky, and what makes a god build is when you can have both damage and defense

jasper

[plain walrus]

Sadly yea sorc suck balls atm

[sturdy summit]

it sounds like you're saying they're too fragile, so how is that not what I just said

[hollow bolt]

does ignite scale with spell damage?

[sturdy summit]

no, ignite is not a spell

it scales with fire damage and damage over time

[lapis wedge]

did anyone succesfully built hit dmg + ignite dmg hybrid ?

since u can just get fire damage

[strong spoke]

for runemaster I did greater fireball, spreading flames, and ignite

fireball is single instance big aoe damage, applies ignite and spreading flames, glyph of dominion gives ward, DoT, and looks badass

firestarter torch goes br

[sturdy summit]

if you're going ignite, you can probably get bigger numbers by stacking increased elemental damage over time, and then your hits won't be good. And builds that don't do that will benefit more from crit, which makes investing in ignite suboptimal too. So in practice, you're probably picking one or the other to really invest in, and the other is just along for the ride.

[honest grove]

Sorry was getting confused either mage and sorc is it more fun to play fire ball sorc or to play runemaster

[strong spoke]

I mean if you just invest in fire+elemental damage, then ignite and on-hit damage works

[sturdy summit]

oh, okay. I can't say what's fun for you, but runemaster is probably in a better spot right now compared to sorc.

[strong spoke]

runemaster is infinitely more fun

sorc is only played for arcane ascendance

[lapis wedge]

right i forgot dmg over time number are bigger

[strong spoke]

it has literally nothing else worth investing in

try 200 corruption, then see if it does well

once you get monos unlocked

empowered ones I mean

ye

you said level 82 fireball, so I assumed it was lower corruption

lmao

Idk, I haven't seen you talk before now

[sturdy summit]

you were supposed to take the red pill or the blue pill, but you picked the acid tab instead

[strong spoke]

I don't lurk in this channel, or this discord

no, you can do it whenever you want

but at level 82, not all gear is available to you

I think the highest I saw is uh

89?

for egar levels

the ultimate gear is exsanguinous imo

effectively infinte scaling and insane sustain

[sturdy summit]

it's a good idea to start empowered before you hit 100. As early as level 80, but by level 90 for sure.

[strong spoke]

exsanguinous? no, it's thew best chest piece

for ward players

at least imo

[sturdy summit]

the trek from 90 to 100 takes forever, and you are already scaling so much more from gear and build by that point, you can kill enemies 20 levels higher than you no problem.

[strong spoke]

a lot of echoes are super brutal for my lich cause I have really low cold res and 0 physical res atm

it's lifeloss per sec and ward gain per missing health

insanely cool art too

my spellblade is 8k ward?

but build not done

[hollow bolt]

can dragorath's claw drop from anywhere or is it exclusive to reign of dragons

[next lance]

almost hit 40k ward against emperor of corpses

[strong spoke]

Last steps of the living, 2x font of the erased, and the experimental gloves that do the same thing as exsanguinous

[strong spoke]

but not as spellblade right?

[next lance]

70k is possible with rune master I have so many things I can still improve

[next lance]

runemaster frost claw

specifically lightning

unlike the twisted heart :/

[strong spoke]

twisted heart will be the death of me

I stg

[next lance]

a rare boss drop

im not sure if corruption afffects boss drops but it make it faster to get to the boss with higher stability

[strong spoke]

spellblade, so it's low compared to rune master, but I can comfortable do most things, just haven't farmed that much corruption cause I was trying to get gear before raising it

[sturdy summit]

the level of the zone determines the chance of getting LP on a unique. What determines it if you use a rune of ascendence? I think using a rune of ascendence is probably going to create weak uniques

[next lance]

i think shroud plays spell blade

[strong spoke]

it's a slower clear than the better classes, btu I can do it comfortably, just takes a little while

I am playing spark charge, which isn't the best damage for spellblade

the best damage for spellblade is shatter strike

I just wanted to have fun with it

[sturdy summit]

how is bossing on spellblade?

[strong spoke]

It exists?

[ruby bluff]

[strong spoke]

emperor of corpses is the best example, it's a piece of p1ss, but his health bar is such a damage sin

is what I wanted to say

[next lance]

i fought the emperor of corpses and I was able to tank the 20k dmg XD

fun

[strong spoke]

ngl, if I got spellblade a little higher, I could literally stand in one place and only have to dodge his breath attack

everything else is nothing cause of how much ward I generate

falconer is bugged and overtuned atm

bugged in a way that makes it stronger than it should be

and overtuned anyway

MM?

[sturdy summit]

more importantly, it's bugged in a way that impacts server stability, and so it will quickly be fixed, if the hotfix didn't already go out

umbrella blades

☂️

get me a skill cosmetic that replaces my falcon with an umbrella and I'll be aerial assaulting across the battlefield like Mary Poppins

[next lance]

Mary Poppins?

[still stump]

is there some damage gate in this game? I am at 500 corruption but the damage I do doesnt seem to change, it feels like every monster has a certain top end damage they can take per hit if that makes sense

[sturdy summit]

it's an old disney movie that some of us grew up with. Mary Poppins is a civilized victorian witch/housekeeper who flies around by holding an umbrella (instead of a sitting on a broom)

[untold snow]

Flame Rush bug still work .......

[solemn fox]

hey, newb here, is frostclaw best in runemaster builds?

looking for runemaster builds which can reach 1000 curruption

[sturdy summit]

runemaster is the strongest of the three mage subclasses, and has a lot of builds that use frost claw, but there are non-frost claw builds too

[solemn fox]

actually I tried plasma yesterday, and it didnt fit well with my play style 😦

[tawdry remnant]

are fireball builds fake

[onyx glen]

Once I got laddle and cast speed on lightning aegis, plasma felt super super smooth to play. Only 70 but really enjoying it

[languid shoal]

GOod Day, I was wondering if there was a way to target farm relics so I get a chance at getting a exalted item with level of frost claw?

[limpid drum]

i beg can anyone tell me the bis frostclaw build rn?

[lyric topaz]

since last patch update i've been lagging like crazy freezing etc anyone else has this issue?

[sturdy summit]

You can get Unique or Set Relic echo rewards nodes in empowered The Last Ruin, or you can do CoF prophecies

[quartz crown]

plasma orb from maxrolls is awesome, anyone else using it?

[sturdy summit]

you said you want exalted, so the Unique or Set Relic rewards won't help you except to fish for Erased Mage relics

[sturdy summit]

so really, the answer is, use your item faction. If you're CoF, you target farm with prophecies. If you're Merchant Guild, you buy the item you want.

[languid shoal]

ok so the MOST i can do is farm the last ruin island

[sturdy summit]

and that's just for uniques

[still stump]

I dont know how its possible that I havent seen a relic with frost claw on it in 4 days of farming 500 corruption with prophecies

[neon lynx]

At least once u see one u get 4

[still stump]

hopefully

[languid shoal]

oh its not specifically for any relics so I can have frost claw levels? but the frost claw levels exalteds are so expensive 😦

[neon lynx]

Well prophecy double drops

Then u just mirror the 2 to get 4

[still stump]

oh true

[sturdy summit]

they're expensive because that's how hard it is to farm for them.

[still stump]

then how many corpse dragons do I need to kill to get an lp heart lol

[neon lynx]

A lot

[sturdy summit]

666

[still stump]

I have like half a tab atm

[languid shoal]

ahhh

[neon lynx]

Then u gotta brick at least 6

[languid shoal]

ok thank you

[neon lynx]

Before u get claw on it

[languid shoal]

the grind begins

[gritty pagoda]

1 lp is like a 14% chance I think (for twisted heart)

[rare hare]

what build aree you rocking for early monoliths? doing frostclaw which is good, but I want farm uniques for spark charge nova and not suree if basic frostclaw would be enough

[gritty pagoda]

what mastery are you wert

[rare hare]

ah sorry, runemaster

[gritty pagoda]

It should be good as long as your using your invoke on the right combos

[next lance]

lightning meteor and electric fireball seems memey and fun

[gritty pagoda]

if your doing crit you could grab a Dragorath's Claw for lightning blasts added to it

[rare hare]

I am using leveling build from maxroll and there is invoke only as passive

[gritty pagoda]
