[neon lynx]

Ain’t that rare

You get a chance basically every time u kill a mage lol

[sturdy summit]

well, runes of research themselves aren't that rare

[humble cedar]

Again im talking about the proc chance

[still stump]

its rare

[humble cedar]

not getting the rune

[neon lynx]

Again we know

[humble cedar]

hoooly

[neon lynx]

It ain’t that rare

[still stump]

you have a chance of it dropping, just keep on keeping on

[neon lynx]

15 times isn’t that many

When u can try almost every echo

[unborn hamlet]

meanwhile trying for a boss drop once every 10 to 15 runs

and the boss drop is like 5%

[sturdy summit]

shackled to the shackle grind

[unborn hamlet]

Painge

[neon lynx]

Wanna trade

I’m 1700 corruption deep between 2 characters killing the stupid dragon

[unborn hamlet]

Almost a million favor spent on unique sceptres, still no 3LP Frozen Ire either, and I have like a full page of 3LP of all the other ones that drop

[sturdy summit]

that's what the Ire refers to

there's a reason that sceptre is so irate

[unborn hamlet]

About to pull a trigger

[sturdy summit]

it's time to pull the chrono trigger

if this were really a game about time travel, we should be able to time travel to after we're finished farming

[sand pawn]

lol

[unborn hamlet]

[still stump]

bro fr fr how rare is the frost claw afix, I just need shards, I have it on my loot filter and I am target farming for them through prophecies and ive seen 1 item in 3 days of blasting lol

[bronze shore]

it that rare

T7 is 20-40m on market

[still stump]

I dont even care about t7 that would be wonderful obv but I just want shards

[bronze shore]

you can probably buy it on market

[unborn hamlet]

It's very rare yeah,

[bronze shore]

assume u have some spare gold

[still stump]

nahhh fam no market

[bronze shore]

so buy rare-magic item on market

then shatter it

[errant needle]

Is there a better way to cast Rune Invocation rather than spamming fire light fire... like I don't wanna continue to use spam those 2 skills.

[sturdy summit]

you could try using runebolt and speccing it to do FLF

[errant needle]

Hmmm I'll check that out.

[errant plank]

Hello, where can i find damage calculation details (like impact of intel., base spell damage etc)? Wondering which affixes is best for my build. Btw i'm doing w/o a guide for once, lvl 28 atm, will there be a time when ill need to switch to a build to not get stuck ?

[sturdy summit]

start with the in-game guide, it has lots of basic information, such as formulas for many things. Then, use lastepochtools to get info on the things the game guide misses.

[bronze shore]

what ur build

[sand pawn]

Is the beta decay node in flame rush (cast static orb in opssite direction) Is that supposed to give you a rune stack?

[errant needle]

Would putting 1 point in blazing flare and 1 point in jolting spark make runebokt do FLF?

[errant plank]

disintegrate/fireball with lot of ignites atm (and tp and flame thing for defense)

[bronze shore]

mastery?

[errant plank]

runemaster

[sturdy summit]

are those the nodes that change the second cast to lightning and the third cast to fire?

oh, the second shot is already lightning

you only need to change the third cast to fire

the default order is FLC

[errant needle]

So jow do I change the last cast to f because I don't see that node...

[bronze shore]

seems okay to me

[errant plank]

i wonder if flat int is better than flat spell damage for example etc...

[sturdy summit]

searing dart

[errant needle]

My runebolt right cast FFF

Thankyou

[sturdy summit]

got it working?

great

[sand pawn]

so flame rush casting other spells does NOT give you runic invocation runes.... thats some bs

[sturdy summit]

indirect casts never give you runes

[bronze shore]

int usually give 4% dmg per point

[sand pawn]

Ah, i didnt know that.

[sturdy summit]

flat damage is usually better, but you're heavily limited on what slots you can get that on, and runemaster in particular gets tons of buffs to int scaling.

[half ivy]

anyone playing plasma orb runemaster mind sharing their build planner?

[bronze shore]

everyone build is different

[half ivy]

is the maxroll version good point to start off?

[bronze shore]

maxroll should only take as a reference

as in dont follow it word by word

[sturdy summit]

the best thing about maxroll is what they say about why they take certain things

that stuff can be valuable to consider if you're just getting your footing

[bronze shore]

people dont read

[half ivy]

i see, i wanted to see peoples build planner just to see what ppl are doing not to copy exactly

[bronze shore]

why would you write more information to people who dont read

[sturdy summit]

then they won't read my advice either

wtf is that shrug emote

[frosty cliff]

hey everyone 🙂

What do you reckon the most fun build is for runemaster? That's also quite strong. I've seen spark charge, and the gameplay looks dull although they're topping the charts

[bronze shore]

fr though for example the bleed warlock guide said dont take the self inflict bleed node on harvest if you not wearing exsang

and guess what

people said they keep dying from bleed

because they not wearing exsang

[sturdy summit]

what do you think is fun.

[frosty cliff]

i really liked hydra gameplay, but super underwhelming

looking to transition into something stronger but also fun

[ruby coyote]

does scorched earth in flame reave proc from ignites or only hits?

[lament osprey]

underwhelming in what sense ?

I play it too, it's fun

[frosty cliff]

pretty weak compared to some of my mates that were behind and now are just pumping

[bronze shore]

search for spark charge ele nova

with the multi cast frost claw

[lament osprey]

oh ok. What are you looking for ? I saw the mad lighting blast build wich seems strong

[frosty cliff]

do you have a link? Been finding it tough to understand different lightning builds

[bronze shore]

i assume you feel dull since spark charge nova have 2 varient
the first is the cheapest without multi cast
the latter is extreamly expensive with multi cast

[frosty cliff]

thats the one that didn't look exciting to me - although most runemasters are playing it

[bronze shore]

450% NOVA SPARK CHARGE RUNEMASTER - Build Guide by WolfsGoRawr

[bronze shore]

it should look like this

[frosty cliff]

ill check it out - thank you <#

[bronze shore]

to make this build work

u need
unstable core and T6/T7 Frost claw on twisted heart

[frosty cliff]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWB6Gtdy9vY is this the same one?

[bronze shore]

seems so

[frosty cliff]

Great - what are you playing btw?

[bronze shore]

spark charge ele nova

[frosty cliff]

I'm sure it's stronger than hydra 😛

[sturdy summit]

exalted frost claw, that other elusive dream

[bronze shore]

probablly stronger

[unborn hamlet]

Hydra was butchered by a big nerf

but deserved one ngl

that build was just dumb

[lapis wedge]

ice spikes from shatter strike cannot add a hit if shatter strike hit righ t?

its like flame reave at the end of surge

[ionic siren]

Hey, I'm trying to make a build revolving around Volcanic Orb & Lament of the Last Refuge unique. I'm stuck on how to make the build tanky enough for higher corruptions, what should I do other than maxing resistances at 75% and crit damage reduction or avoidance?

[lapis wedge]

stack ward

[ionic siren]

I'm worried they will nerf ward soon, or it wont happen till next cycle?

[lapis wedge]

i dont think they will nerf anything thats not a pure bug

[ionic siren]

alright great

thanks

[bronze shore]

ward is a part of mage defense

they wont nerf it

[late kelp]

I cannot find unstable core

[bronze shore]

buy it on market or target farm it

[ionic siren]

is Ward Decay Threshold, the limit which ward wont decay below?

[late kelp]

Where to farm it?

[wraith mica]

yes

[ionic siren]

thanks

[sinful bridge]

you may be overlooking the ignivar's head unique. it converts your crit chance to more damage

[late kelp]

What type or rare item is the special item that drops the enemy mage at the portal?

[sinful bridge]

experimental items?

[late kelp]

Aaaah ok ok

I've seen that unstable core can be an experimental item

But I suppose that can be dropped in overpowered monolith. Could be ?

[bronze shore]

what?

unstable core is unique

[late kelp]

Timeline to target farm: Blood, Frost, and Death ("Unique or Set Body Armour" echo rewards)

It doesn't say that it can be farmed on overpowered monolith

[bronze shore]

my man if you actually following the build i show you, you actually need to worry about the T6/T7 Frost claw more than the unstable core

[lapis wedge]

ice spikes from shatter strike cannot add a hit if shatter strike hit righ t?
its like flame reave at the end of surge
Someone can confirm ?

[late kelp]

My question is: the only way to get it is on unique armour echoes o can be dropped RNG?

[bronze shore]

it a world drop so it drop everywhere

[late kelp]

The unstable core?

[bronze shore]

yes

[errant plank]

Started Chapter 4 and died few times (died 2/3 times before entering this chapter), i feel very squishy, here are my stats: https://imgur.com/a/H0VyJal Any advices?

[late kelp]

So it's more commonly farmed in that monolith ?

[crimson token]

Dropped it in a chest of the 85monoliths

[late kelp]

So it's difficult to farm it hehe

[errant plank]

Is urzil chest any good for runemaster (just changed it wondering if its the root cause of my squishyness)

[late kelp]

I like that build but u need unstable core because nova use a large amount of Mana and it very common to empty the mana

[bronze shore]

what?

[errant plank]

any way to know exactly the damage soruces that lead to a death ?

[late kelp]

Do u think that 2 opal rings is the better option?

[bronze shore]

you dont use the unstable core to buff ele nova

you use it to buff frost claw

if you talk about the build im showing

[late kelp]

Yes but unstable give more mana and mana regen and its very important to don't empty the mana fastly

[late kelp]

Yes

[bronze shore]

ele nova on that build cost 0 mana

[late kelp]

I'm trying to use that build one week ago and I need more mana regen because it's common to stand the mana at zero

[crimson token]

Sorcerer Fireball is good or bad ?

[bronze shore]

probably gear problem

i have no mana issue

[late kelp]

I'm gonna show u my build right now

https://ibb.co/6YR2SN9

[bronze shore]

uh

just use planner

and import the build in

[late kelp]

manually ?

yep , dont forget to go save/share for the right link 🙂

[late kelp]

yeah, thanks a lot 🙂

[bronze shore]

uh just put more point in cryomatic

to get more -mana cost

[late kelp]

understood, but I dont have more skill point, what u would change?

[bronze shore]

ele nova upper left

[late kelp]

quit 2 points from elemental expanse and add to cryomantic?

[hasty bay]

Hi, it is an active bug for runmaster? i can not build the orbs for the powerful spells.

[bronze shore]

try to get unstable core

[late kelp]

ok, thanks

[rocky anvil]

No bug, you're doing something wrong. Plasma orb works fine.

Or you mean the runes?

[bronze shore]

check your idol

[still stump]

I just had a map full of just those dinosaurs who explode in a fiery aoe after they die LOL

literally could not spam tp fast enough

[strange karma]

does weaver will uniques have standard affixes?

[trim imp]

what do you mean with standard affixes? the same weavers will item, will always have the same "baseline" affixes, whereas what the weaver can add, can be anything the item can have if it wasnt weavers i believe.

[strange karma]

yeah, just wanted to know if it can add anything or had all the same affixes

thanks

[trim imp]

The weaver adds random stats, when you use the item

[brisk sierra]

What Scaling tags do the Frostbite Dot have? cant find it anywhere? Elemental dmg over time is ob. and Cold damage is obvious. dmg over time is obv.

[hasty bay]

Ty, was an idol

[bronze shore]

well you answer your own question there

[brisk sierra]

will it scale of int? will it scale of other things. fun that spark chages from lightning blast have scaling tags but Frostbite dont

[rocky anvil]

Ah, yeah. Hilarious. Cracks me up every time.

[coral charm]

Anyone got any information about Arcane Flames talent? it seems it's an AOE around me. Not my fireball target. And it seems pretty useless. Anyone got any info?

[trim imp]

any1 know if lightning blasts cast by dragorath's claw is counted as a direct cast? for the Overcharge talent in the lightning blast tree?

[rocky anvil]

No as it procs off of the item instead of you casting lightning blast directly... That should be obvious

Otherwise all LB builds would run claw lol

[trim imp]

then why does the build guide put several points into it? both nodes connected to it, is straight from the center node

[rocky anvil]

Most use ladle because of ailments being a multiplier. Also, that sounds like a bad guide then if lb is never directly cast

[bronze shore]

to cast it yourself?

wait

ah

it just crit dmg

you put it in for 10% crit multi

[mellow belfry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IInVp-phqAU

Can someone plz help me with a couple of noob questions about Runemaster?

• What spell is he casting with runic invocation?
• How come his rune combo stays "cold-fire-cold" and doesnt change, even though he is spamming frost-claw (which is converted to lightning) constantly?

Thanking you

[rocky anvil]

On phone with bad internet so can't watch the vid. But the answer to your second question is the "immutable order" skill node

C, F, C would be reowyn frostguard btw

[waxen locust]

my frost claw frostbite RM is struggling past 400cc. I started looking at other people's builds and my general impression is that lightning focused ones are just better overall. Am I wrong?

[rocky anvil]

Reowyn's Frostguard: https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/runic_invocation18_ice_shield

[mellow belfry]

thank you TSP

[mellow belfry]

the video that i linked there (hes doing 2200 corruption) is elemental nova build! he doesnt have it in the skill bar, but he basically just uses frost claw for mana regen & to proc Elemental Nova which it does constantly

im using that build right now and it feels great, but i just havent worked out wtf he is doing with runic invocation lol. but ima check now what TSP said

oh sick, just checked immutable order, thank you

[rocky anvil]

👍

[mellow belfry]

somehow missed that, thought i had the same nodes as him

very delicious

[proper charm]

is there thing i can switch easily to get ton of ward on my plasma orb runemaster? gotta find a build to easily solo/tank hits on t4 sanctum boss xD

[earnest marten]

Didnt play frostbite but i think the spark charge enigma made the lightning better

[waxen locust]

that's very impressive! thanks for sharing

[mellow belfry]

welcome, theres some other video of another dude doing 3000 but i like this build more

[mellow belfry]

this thing is cool! do you think the Author of Arcana buffs this somehow? because i notice in the build he is using both

[rocky anvil]

Author of Arcana causes its damage to increase when it expires yes, but that's a drop in the ocean of damage any build does

if you rely on damage from Author of Arcana on a frostguard only build, that's a terrifying build 😜

[mellow belfry]

the mystery continues though, because the first 3 skills on his skill bar dont show C,F,C. they are Flame rush, Flame ward, Snap freeze..

[rocky anvil]

flame rush has the cold conversion node

see it in the first 2 seconds

[mellow belfry]

ah ok - in his build guide he doesnt have that

and what about snap freeze being number3?

😮

[rocky anvil]

well cold snap... is cold...

[trim imp]

does it matter what order he has the abilities on the bar? unless he specifically states, you should cast them in order 1-3?

[mellow belfry]

oh yeah sorry im being a full silly

[rocky anvil]

And his flame rush DOES have the cold rune in the link

[bronze shore]

Immmutable order make the rune create follow the element on the skill bar

from left to right

[mellow belfry]

https://tenor.com/view/homer-simpson-gif-3416287

[rocky anvil]

Because of immutable order, it doesn't matter which order you "cast them"; the order on the bar matters.

[trim imp]

cool!

oh my , i read flame ward

i should stop trying to play and talk at the same time lol

thank you man

[bronze shore]

that the skill node of the skill

if you read the skill node you would know what it does

[earnest marten]

Immutable order is cool, its skip non ele skill in the bar too

[mellow belfry]

any idea if the Author of Arcana buffs this (reowyns frostguard) somehow? because i notice in the build guide he is using both. but Arcana only talks about +damage (and freeze rate multiplier)

[rocky anvil]

You can't get to Immutable Order without Author of Arcana. But as I said before, Author of Arcana only increases the damage Reowyn's Frostguard does when it expires. Which is a drop in an ocean. Unless you mean the mana refund, then yes. But it doesn't buff the damage mitigation of Reowyn's Frostguard if that's what you were wondering.

[mellow belfry]

ohyeah i missed this. thank you very much for your counsel sensei

[minor roost]

is there a description on differences between elemental dmg and DOT EDOT aswell as fire / cold dmg etc? for example?

im always a bit confused

[rocky anvil]

Could you reformulate your question? I'm blinking my eyes a bit trying to understand what question you're asking.

[minor roost]

for example: right now im trying to build a DOT fire RM

[wraith mica]

fire damage, elemental damage, and the over time variants are all additive for your specific dot

[minor roost]

What is the difference between spell dmg - Elemental dmg or straight up fire damage?

[wraith mica]

spell damage only applies to direct hits, not to over time effects

[minor roost]

lets say 500% increase in fire dmg is the same as elemental dmg since its an element?

[rocky anvil]

You mean if there's a difference between +100% elemental damage vs +100% cold damage on a cold spell? The answer would be no.

The difference is that specific elements +x% cold damage has a higher maximum roll chance on gear, so typically you'll find higher +x% cold damage than +x% elemental damage.

[minor roost]

aaah ok yeh thats what i meant

so specifically running fire should be fire dmg priority i see

same goes for fire DOT and El dot i imagine

[wraith mica]

it depends on the weight of each affix. for example, you might get more value out of elemental damage over time of the same tier compared to fire damage. just depends on where your main source of damage is

[rocky anvil]

Just keep in mind like XP said that +x% spell damage does NOT apply to dots such as ignite or frostbite... with Spark Charge being the only exception (for mages) due to it being such an oddball ailment.

[minor roost]

thats odd indeed

but yeh thx now i know a bit more on how to specifically build a bit better

[rocky anvil]

👍

[minor roost]

🫡

[wraith mica]

Yeah, the differences between affixes can be huge. T7 120% fire damage vs 220% elemental damage over time is huge, especially if your'e stacking thousands of ignites on a target

[weary steppe]

@bronze shore hey sir, how does that frost claw build get 26 skill points? Gear only has 3 extra so where the other 3 comes from? D:

[minor roost]

then i would still choose elemental dmg right?

specifically in that case

[wraith mica]

if you had to choose between the two and are focused on ignite stacking, then yes you'll get mroe value out of the elemental damage over time

[minor roost]

oo yeh i read that a bit wrong i thought both were DOTs, if it was ON HIT - the fire would be better

thx!

[rocky anvil]

Unstable core + offhand

[bronze shore]

20 base
4/5 from twisted heart
1 from engima
1 from unstable

[weary steppe]

ooohh didnt see the frost claw lp on heart

ok thnx

[chrome dagger]

someone told me Runemaster has been nerfed, but I found nothing in patch notes - fake news or what?

[weary steppe]

fake imo

[rocky anvil]

1.0 only

[versed wing]

how rare is a relic with frost claw on it?

lvl 96 havent seen 1

[vale tartan]

Is your build the one that Steelmage now tries for his HC runemaster ?

[true reef]

What kind of minion damage does Swarm of Bees do?

[bronze shore]

i think so

[rapid lion]

Can't get a good ladel to run any popular builds.

However a LP4 Firestarter Torch just dropped. Do Spreading flames+ignite builds scale well into late game? Only at 200+ corruption right now

[weary steppe]

do we have any solution for frost claw + ele nova destroying fps? 😄

[wraith mica]

I changed builds lol

[unborn hamlet]

ngl, 4LP could defo help with it, but spreading flames is just doodoo

[weary steppe]

build is op way better clear speed than my lightning blast build but not sure if its worth blowing out my pc lmao

[bronze shore]

lower your graphic lol

[hexed venture]

I run flame reave and the frame rate tanks. I think the frame rate tanks no matter what you do

[unborn hamlet]

frame rate tanks with most stuff cos the mob on hit and dead bodies optimisation is terrible

i hope they will improve on that

the moment u filter out dead bodies i have 0 fps issues

but i can only remove said files for offline mode

[steel pelican]

hello all starting runemaster what build is realy good and cheap to get at first ? i saw a lot of variant of LB and frostclow with nova but looking like they demand a lot of investment

[mellow belfry]

i am playing RM now, it my 3rd character, i have a lvl 96 Sorc and a lvl 98 Spellblade. I feel like I should have listened to everyone from the start and gone RM lol - more fun, more powerful. The uniques in my build are not that rare. you will have most of them by the time you are lvl 70, 80, methinks.

[rain island]

I have a question about fragment of the enigma which I just had drop on my lightning sorc. Is it worth equipping as when I do I drop over 100 dps according to the tool tip on my main skill.

[bronze shore]

100 is a little amount of number

and the tool tip dont account for enemy armour

[rain island]

Maybe not but I use it as a guide as to whether something is worth equipping. But fragment of the enigma looks like it should be good for my build as I have spark charges everywhere

I've managed to get it almost back to where it was by equipping a new ring so that's something. I may try it out

[manic oasis]

is spark charge from lightning blast bugged? seems like i dont get proccs at all

[rain island]

I don't know. I dropped lightning blast for a lightning converted frost claw as it felt much smoother. I couldn't kill campaign Lagon with lightning blast but when I swapped in frost claw no problem. Fortunately I was levelling both so it wasn't difficult to swap over.

[safe grail]

You can run a lot of those more meta builds with a very solid exalted wand. I was using a t6 cast speed + crit multi wand for a while

[rain island]

I've had the mad alchemists ladle drop but I'm not using it. Should I be?

[bronze shore]

only use it if you have LP

so u can slam exalt on it

[rain island]

I don't - it's just an ordinary unique

[subtle nacelle]

Hello! Messing with a disintegrate RM, I'd like to get some feedback on my build. I'm farming 150-200 corruption, damage is more than enough, but I feel I'm getting deleted way too often + bosses are really tough (OS). My guess is that I sould improve my health / ward, but I cant really figure out the best way to do that. (my resistances are more than capped with all res while channeling and glyph node).
Any advice is welcome

[next cairn]

i found cinder song, a +6 crest of unity, and unstable core tonight. gonna play around with level 30 elemental nova tomorrow 😮

[glossy quarry]

6% more Spell Damage per Negative Ailment on the Target (up to 8)

this means that mad alchemist ladle gets only 48% more spell damage?

[wraith mica]

it's a multiplicative bonus

[abstract abyss]

I switched to cold and I am seeing a massive damage drop off. Is the big damage from cold frostbite if you spec hard in it?

[bronze shore]

what do you switch from

[abstract abyss]

Lightnubg

[bronze shore]

why do you switch in the first place?

[abstract abyss]

I wanted the dmg mitigation, I was thinking of stacking the rings and titan along with frostguard

[bronze shore]

Uh do you use the order node on invocation?

[barren pawn]

should use gamblers fallacy neck too. your damage will end up doubled or so

its a massive increase to your crit

aside from that

youy could swap over to frost fire frost invocation runes

massive increase to your ward, and it regens

( for a time after using it )

[subtle nacelle]

YeaI've heard about this one. Thing is the campaign is bugged and I ended up getting avarice gloves... I know you can get a variant from soul gambler, but after running the dungeon like 15 times, I still didnt get it and keys are kinda hard to get

[barren pawn]

my campaign fekked me out of mine too.

my offline character has it

I cant buy one either

not rank 8

💢

[subtle nacelle]

I'm CoF, cant buy it at all

[barren pawn]

just swap

make a differnt character for CoF

or did they akle trade guilds account based....

[subtle nacelle]

Does this reset progression ?

I'm 6 in CoF

[barren pawn]

Yes. Chan ging resets you.

[subtle nacelle]

Sadge

[next lance]

incorrect.

[barren pawn]

?????

[next lance]

Your rank is preserved.

[subtle nacelle]

Interesting, but how do I get frost rune from? Switching fire ward to cold?

[barren pawn]

yes.

[next lance]

You lose access to equippimg CoF items, and you lose all favor, but the rank is preserved.

that being said, you’d be starting from ground zero in mg.

[subtle nacelle]

And not running focus then. Well I could give it a try, but It will be kinda hard against bosses with no mana regen

[turbid kettle]

does anybody know if prism wrasps just makes your resistances 105% combined with the preexisting 75% or does it reduce 30% after that?

[frosty pewter]

its 30% less so its multiplicative at a different stage of the calculation than resistances

[barren pawn]

You just run around for a minute. Your dmg comes in bursts

[next lance]

prism wraps doesn’t affect resistances, it’s 30% less as a flat effect on top of resistances

[turbid kettle]

okay, so maxing your resistances together with prism should be pretty valuable then

[frosty pewter]

lets say you get hit for 400 fire damage. that goes to 100 after your fire resist, then to 70 from prism wraps

(there's other stuff like armor in here but for simplicitys sake)

[next lance]

well, Prism only effects elemental (fire/ice/lightning)

[turbid kettle]

well my first thought was just getting around 40% in fire/cold/ele and running prism

[subtle nacelle]

true. I'll try this out. Do you ge the cold node on Flame Ward by going through the fire aura one?

[turbid kettle]

but now I might just get even more if that's the case

[barren pawn]

ill dm you my nodes

[frosty pewter]

its honestly not very hard to max your elemental res

[subtle nacelle]

2 points in retribution w/ gambler's fallacy and retaliation turned off seems pretty bad

[turbid kettle]

depending on how many uniques you wanna run 😄

unless you get them all lp3/4

[subtle nacelle]

thx!

[frosty pewter]

this is true

[turbid kettle]

I'm currently running a build with 5 uniques,.. no lp right now ofc

[frosty pewter]

its way easier than poe where every point of ele res feels like a slog

[turbid kettle]

I can't relate, I never could get into poe for some reason

[frosty pewter]

If I was comparing them, epoch is a bit slower (poe is like taking crack) but way more comfy

[turbid kettle]

I'd just say the feel of poe gameplay wise and movement etc just felt off to me

and that's not counting the complicated parts of the game

[frosty pewter]

If you never got to endgame that makes sense, campaign in poe is misery

[turbid kettle]

I completed the campaign once, when following some build guide

[humble cedar]

Is there something wrong with the tunkland insight calculator? No matter the value i put it for boots it says haste after movement speed

[turbid kettle]

I think I gave up when I started learning to craft and do the endgame maps

[frosty pewter]

I just dont bother crafting in poe, currency only filters and buy everything xD

except in harvest, but that was a special case

[turbid kettle]

haha ok, I'm still interested in PoE 2 atleast

hopefully it gives me a better experience

I'm having fun/living in complete misery making my own builds here just trying to make them work somehow

[barren pawn]

Do we have an in game list of all our evos for RM?

I feel like there needs to be a tooltip explaining all of the different combos.

[serene shuttle]

Hello,

can someone tell me why we play with mourningfrost when playing plasma orb runemaster, even tho plasma orb scales with fire and lightning?

[safe marsh]

because due to criterion you scale dexterity, and mourningfrost gives base spell damage per dex

[serene shuttle]

Thanks, but its only cold spell damage, right?

That's what confuses me.

[safe marsh]

i'm not familiar with the build, but i think it's for converted skills?
static orb maybe for single target?

so you have more damage there

[sacred ruin]

Plasma Orb does all damage that you have, and Mad Alchemist Laddle scales best with flat since you already have more multipliers

mourningfrost is the best way to do it

[safe marsh]

ah, does it add the base cold to it even if it doesn't have a cold tag?

[sacred ruin]

yes

[serene shuttle]

Oh, thanks a lot to both of you 🙂

How do you know it scales with cold?

[sacred ruin]

when I take off my boots I do 0 damage

I put them on I one shot everything at 500 corruption

pretty obvious what gives me damage

[serene shuttle]

Mhm...
I guess so, thanks 🙂 Just weird it doesnt say that anywhere.

[sacred ruin]

spark charge I think ultimately is better though just because less ubttons to press

[nimble shoal]

It should be in the game guide, that's just how added damage works

[serene shuttle]

But its added colddamage, it should not affect abilities that have the "fire" and "lightning" tag, right?

[sacred ruin]

no that's not how it works

added flat is always added first

the fire / lightning / cold tags are for things like fire damage %

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/resources/damage-explained

[ionic siren]

Hey guys i'm doing a sorc volcanic orb build with Lament unique, what's the best way to generate ward consistently?

[red rose]

Anyone have any tips for runemaster lightning skills? I'm kinda winging it and using my own stuff thus time instead of following builds abd I just want recommendations for good lightning skills

[sacred ruin]

Frost Claw / Lightning Blast / Spark Charge

then transition to Frost Claw Nova with Celestial Conflux given enough intelligence

[serene shuttle]

Thanks a lot! Didnt know that.

[rain island]

Does the Reowyn's veil node still work if you convert frost claw to lightning and does it still scale with freeze rate multipler?

[sacred ruin]

don't think so

although half the interactions are bugged at this rate so I have no clue anymore

[nimble shoal]

Pretty sure the alt text explains it

[acoustic venture]

Im following the maxroll frostbite build, and it says to aim for capped resistances yet the end/bis gear they show isn’t capping resistances. ( including idols/blessings. Anyone here that can tell me more about it ?

[nimble shoal]

Capping resistances isn't super mandatory in this game. Maxroll builds are a little weird too sometimes

[sacred ruin]

you're better off just collecting builds off https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/

[red rose]

Is runebolt good?

[rain island]

ok so looking at the alt tab it says additional freeze rate multipler comes from the tree so I'm guessing that means there's no point using it if you convert to lightning as you wont invest in the cold nodes

[ionic siren]

Thanks! that seems better than what I was thinking. But can you explain the Frost Claw Nova path please?

[sacred ruin]

You use mass AoE and celestial conflux on frost claw to cast a billion elemental novas

which trigger spark charge with the node and stack them all on top with lightning frost claw and do lol damage

[royal abyss]

whats the best build recommended for runemaster? currently playing volcanic orb/firewall and wondering if theres a better route i can take

[sacred ruin]

It's not a cheap build, you need to have a + level frost claw twisted heart

and like 200+ int

[ionic siren]

damn

[red rose]

Is fireball good at all?

[sacred ruin]

sorry my bad 140 int

I misread

[ionic siren]

no no I just need ward generation lmao

that's the build essentially

I'm gonna spend the rest of the cycle tweaking and making Void Volcanic Orb work

[sacred ruin]

I shamelessly stole it

[ionic siren]

that looks insane

[sacred ruin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IInVp-phqAU&t=782s

that's what it looks like at 2200 corruption

not a bait either

[barren pawn]

someones playing this too much... jesus

[graceful glen]

lol no way

[sacred ruin]

that's legit

[ionic siren]

so many explosions

[royal abyss]

is 2200 corruption alot?

[sacred ruin]

you can see him at 2200 corruption in transition

[ionic siren]

I'm in love

[sacred ruin]

my guy has a +1 lp red ring lmao

[graceful glen]

did you get that build from my video?

[sacred ruin]

+2 strand

[ionic siren]

yes, enemies have 2500%+ more damage and health

[sacred ruin]

Not my original build I just stole it from the video

if it's good enough for 2200 corruption solo it's good enough

[bronze shore]

just got a t7 lightning blast

[snow goblet]

anyone playing on hit lightning spellblade? wondering if the dragoroth's claw unique is worth speccing into glacial claw for

[bronze shore]

wonder should i rune of creation it and sell it

sell for double the profit

[ionic siren]

it doesn't look too expensive, with a bit of gold farm in MG you can get something similar

[barren pawn]

i just dotn like the super involved kinda tryhardy builds

[bronze shore]

15m isnt expensive?

damm

[abstract veldt]

hi all; i messed up my build so hard to go up corruptions.. i did big mistakes:D can someone send me a good mono farming build 500-1000 levels? i only dont have red altaria ring. got other uniqs.. can someone help me on build

[barren pawn]

like... 9 uniques on one build

[sacred ruin]

he has a +1 lp red ring

and a +2 strand

[bronze shore]

LMAO

[sacred ruin]

that's way over 15 million gold

[ionic siren]

oh I farmed the crap out of idols early on, I got like 30M+

[sacred ruin]

his build is more like north of 100 million

[bronze shore]

aiyo

buy my lightnigh blast on market

i list it for 15

[sacred ruin]

I don't know why he's using etlfun's mirage, should just use blood boots

[ionic siren]

yeah if you want exact build stats it'll be north of 100 mill, but to get it started and have similar build I think you could go with 20~ maybe?

[sacred ruin]

red ring with no lp is 15 million alone

[bronze shore]

Bndr you did the key farm didnt you

[sacred ruin]

and you need to have tier 7 int on nearly everything you can get your hands on

[ionic siren]

😮

[bronze shore]

smh

[ionic siren]

I found out about it after its gone or I 100% would've

[sacred ruin]

and you need +3/+4 frostclaw on twisted heart

[bronze shore]

i ashould have abuse it

[barren pawn]

? the what

[ionic siren]

is it actually? time to farm it

[bronze shore]

key was around 7k gold before it was nerf to 200

[sacred ruin]

yes red ring of Altaria is 15 million

I have like 3 of them

[bronze shore]

so people would farm a bunch of key

then sell all of it

especially on CoF

[sacred ruin]

you duplicated keys with cof

you're better off just selling stuff on MG

tier 7 just sell

[ionic siren]

ye exalteds and idols are your best bet for gold now

[sacred ruin]

every meta idol is like 500k+ minimum with good rolls

[ionic siren]

high rolls on Health/Health can sell for a mill

that was few days after release haven't checked market in a while now

[sacred ruin]

yeah because everyone is a ward nerd

which I don't blame, EHG should have dumpster tiered ward

it's entirely too strong even without bugs

[ionic siren]

its sad that you can take any build

and just turn it into low life and it'll do better

[graceful glen]

not really true

lowlife locks you into specific chest and boots

[bronze shore]

unless you are runnemaster

who need exsang and last step to gen over 50k ward

[sacred ruin]

Runemaster doesn't need LL you already generate ward because one of the passives is bugged

[ionic siren]

ye for sure builds that use these slots probably cant function

[bronze shore]

runemaster passive is bug?

which one?

[sacred ruin]

one of the ward generation ones are bugged

I can't remember, dr3ad talked about it

[simple marsh]

Fireball sorc users, what chests are u using?

[bronze shore]

source:you made it up

[graceful glen]

lmao

[bronze shore]

but fr though which passive

[sacred ruin]

I'll have to pull the video

let me look through them

[safe grail]

Mans is about to pull up a video from like .8 beta

[last swift]

bit of a dumb question but does mana strike apply mortal capacitor from the ligthning tree ?

[sacred ruin]

Video was like 3 days ago so no

[ornate bone]

Is anyone doing a volcanic orb build??

[simple marsh]

no fire sorc lovers 😦

[ornate bone]

Waahhhh

[sacred ruin]

Ignite got nerfed awhile back

[ornate bone]

I just got into monoliths with the new build but am not sure where to go with it

Ignite still seems decent to me.

[bright acorn]

I like lightning claw nova build. If you don't have to lower your graphical setting you're doing it wrong

[sacred ruin]

it used to be insane

[ornate bone]

I already have that build bahaha

I have 6 chars above 85

The volcanic orb is an experimental one.

[ionic siren]

I AM

[simple marsh]

Using the meteor build for now

[barren pawn]

does disintegrate count

[ionic siren]

Can you link it?

[ornate bone]

@ionic siren omg link

Mine just hit monoliths so

It's sooo undergeared

But still shreds

[simple marsh]

sure what chest are u using?

[errant plank]

Hello, wanted to share my current with you for advices. First time i try to use character import in LEtools and it says me "character not found", i checked the names following "?" tooltips, any clue ?

[raw tartan]

You still searching? 😂😂

[ornate bone]

I am not a build creator. Usually follow guides so I wanted to know what to do. If I should build into ward/retention

I made it a sorc

Was sick of runemaster

[barren pawn]

just an exalt. no unique

you could run prism wraps or sumn tho i guess

[simple marsh]

whats summ

[barren pawn]

sumn = fast speak for something

[ionic siren]

still haven't finished creating it yet as I'm at work but I'm theorycrafting it rn,
I'm going for these uniques: Lament of the Last Refuge, Eye of Orexia, and Dark Shroud of Cinders chest. I'll stack fire aura for the increase in Void Damage, and stack crit

[simple marsh]

No idea about that.. I know prism wraps tho

[ionic siren]

I still dunno what I'm going to do about Ward Generation, Frost Claw seems like best choice but I have no clue till I test it tonight or tomorrow

[simple marsh]

but its too squishy

[sacred ruin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIeHXY9LHKI&t=153s

you can admit you're wrong now

7:40

it's snaguine runestones that's still bugged

[barren pawn]

.... something as in the qrod something

word*

[raw tartan]

This is a single node noone uses dumbo

[sacred ruin]

It gives 10x ward that it's supposed to

but ok

[icy umbra]

there's also the rat impaler spear

[sacred ruin]

no one uses it

[bronze shore]

10x?

sheesh

[sacred ruin]

Yes

[barren pawn]

what node lmfao

[sacred ruin]

Runemaster ward generation has been buggewd since release

[normal mural]

I have a semi technical question about Static if someone is willing to take a look.

[icy umbra]

I've gotten it like 3 in a row off runes of ascendancy

[barren pawn]

it cant actualyl work if noone uses it

[bronze shore]

tbf runemaster wardgen already reach 50k without it

[barren pawn]

this.

[hollow olive]

im givin lut away for free anyone wants

[safe grail]

Literally no fkn build i have seen uses that.

[barren pawn]

sure ill take

[sacred ruin]

Because no one realized it was bugged still?

Lol

[hollow olive]

confused of server, I though I was in dark and darker one

[sacred ruin]

When it was bugged people still used it.

Nice goal post moving

[barren pawn]

pain

[ionic siren]

I was searching what lut is

[icy umbra]

last upotch

[raw tartan]

This nodes is more then useless as runemaster if you don't pair it with vessel, which literally noone does

[sacred ruin]

Lol now we're trolling

[barren pawn]

what fekkin node?????

[sacred ruin]

Ok, this argument's done

I already showed you the bugged node

you were wrong

Just admit it

You're moving goalposts now

[raw tartan]

Y ppl say irrelevant stuff just to say anything at all

Better keep it urself next time

[barren pawn]

@safe grail wht node is dude even talking about?

[sacred ruin]

it's at the top

[barren pawn]

since nobody wants to answer

[raw tartan]

Sanguine runestone

[sacred ruin]

They thought I was lying and got clapped and now moved goalposts

[raw tartan]

He doesnt even know the name himself smh

[safe grail]

Sanguine runestones

[sacred ruin]

because I don't memorize every node

thanks

[barren pawn]

danke

[raw tartan]

I literally just asked where your video is, never said anything it isn't true. Maybe get glasses

[sacred ruin]

You implied with the laughing emoji that I was lying

unless you're gonna say you have 3rd grade level inferencing skills

[raw tartan]

Cuz u searched 7 minutes a video that was posted a day ago

Like huh

[errant plank]

Hello, cant figure out how to import my build in LEtool, my account name is "Tanaker" and my character name is "Tanak", can anyone try it and tell me result on his side? I play offline and i chose the "character import -> online" tab

[bronze shore]

dumbass

[ionic siren]

offline import method is different

[normal mural]

So, I specced Static into Overload, Diode, and Unlimited Power. Unlimited power says I cast my lightning blast instead of Zap, but the additional information tooltip changed the readout from Zap to Lightning which does not share the same information as my current lightning blast and is interacting with the target dummy differently as well

[ionic siren]

you guys asked for source, he gave you source with timestamp, what is the issue here

[bronze shore]

dude just walk in and ask a question and put his brain at home

[sacred ruin]

That they got proven wrong

So they had to shift goalposts

"No one uses that node, no one uses vessel"

Which isn't true.

[raw tartan]

Show me a single build which is not 300 corr hardstuck with that setup

[bronze shore]

and people tell me i being to mean too and said people "dont read"

[ionic siren]

there is literally no reason to call the guy a dumbass

[bronze shore]

bro he litreally said he cant import an offline character by using the online feature

[raw tartan]

Tbf ppl ask stuff which is literally written in the game if they would hover over the stat just a single time

[sacred ruin]

So you got proven wrong and I have to do more homework for you?

Lol

Why? So you can shift the goalposts again?

There's no point.

[ionic siren]

He might be new to technology, young, very old, or doesn't understand what online or offline, there are a million reasons. Maybe the guy is tired and not focusing. No reason to be mean about it

[raw tartan]

😂just stfu pls

What a clown

[sacred ruin]

No thank you

[raw tartan]

You're still wrong tho, not a single build that uses that setup. Therefore irrelevant

[sacred ruin]

Except it's not?

[raw tartan]

Then show me one

[sacred ruin]

Why am I having to go out of my way to prove you wrong?

[bronze shore]

true

i mgiht have been to harsh

[sacred ruin]

Isn't the greater point that lots of nodes are clearly bugged and no one even knows if the power level is where it's supposed to be?

Lol

[raw tartan]

Y, good argument for not having a clue at all

[sacred ruin]

You claimed I was making up the bugged node

I proved you wrong

End of story

[raw tartan]

Never did, again buy glasses if you think i did

[sacred ruin]

Anyone with any inferencing skills above a 7 year old child could figure out that's what you were doing

But ok

[raw tartan]

Have fun being known as clown

[prime flare]

Chill with the personal attacks

[ionic siren]

so proph3t for Ward generation should I go for frost claw?

[sacred ruin]

Just do whatever, half the nodes are busted anyways

[normal mural]

Yeah, arguing over this is less than helpful.

[ionic siren]

lmao fair enough

[sacred ruin]

I don't even know if half the stuff works like it's supposed to

[ionic siren]

one node made change my warlock to voidknight

[next lance]

ward generation itself needs retuning

[barren pawn]

yall need to just move on

[raw tartan]

@astral wraith can we get that Proph3t dude outta here pls?

[sacred ruin]

like whether fire nova aoe with cd should be bypassed by celestial conflux

[normal mural]

I was hoping to find some knowledgeable individuals who could tell me if something I saw was worth wasting the devs time with a bug report. Instead I found bickering children.

[rain island]

Same thought Dolgarth

[normal mural]

Sheesh, anyway. Anyone have a real question about something?

[rain island]

I thought this was supposed to be a friendly place where you could comfortably ask stupid questions.

[normal mural]

Whats your question bro

[barren pawn]

half of this chat is d4 refugees soooo

[next lance]

not with Neos around

[ionic siren]

@ornate bone Can you link me the build you followed?

[ebon wigeon]

eh, it probably is. don't let two people arguing on the internet throw you off

[raw tartan]

We know us pony? 😂

Next one making stuff up 🤦🏻‍♂️

[next lance]

bait as always

[sacred ruin]

He's a child, just leave him be

[barren pawn]

I have dude blocked from his time in the d4 server apparently

[next lance]

lol

[raw tartan]

Ahh yes the dude which said 193% ward retention is too much

I can't they made a union

😂

[normal mural]

Please, just stop

[raw tartan]

Nah it's just funny how he talked yesterday to me, but apparently he knows me from d4

Like you can't look up chats in discord 😂😂

[barren pawn]

Gee its almost like you can click on " show messages " to see whos talking

[next lance]

regardless, there’s a lot of issues with ward in general. From bugged nodes in places such as Acolyte, to the imbalance in defensive capabilities in RM.

[raw tartan]

Ahh so you can still read me like it seems 😊

[bronze shore]

totally balanced

RM i mean

[next lance]

Ward is TOO good in the current cycle to not play with

[raw tartan]

Like i said. Just made up stuff

[sacred ruin]

Ward has been busted since forever, this isn't anything new. This is like pre-Blade Dancer

Stuff like Runemaster/Warlock/Bugged HH just took it to new heights

[next lance]

it’s something that hopefully will be addressed by next cycle

[sacred ruin]

and Cleaver Solution str stacking

you can just ignore mechanics and wallop half the stuff in the game up to like 1.5k corruption

[ebon wigeon]

here's a stupid question... what is cooldown recovery speed? it almost sounds like your usual cooldown reduction, but the more i see the name the more it doesn't make sense. is it just really the typical cdr?

[bronze shore]

yes

is cdr

[sacred ruin]

it's cdr basically

[next lance]

cdr functions as it sounds

[bronze shore]

if they nerf ward they need to make it so other class other than mage and acoylte wont be affect by it too much

[ebon wigeon]

that's what i thought, but speedy recovery of cooldown is worded a little weird

[next lance]

it’s just not always as useful as in other games due to the sheer amount of instant abilities

[bronze shore]

since if they nerf ward too hard they also nerf mage and acoylte defense too

[bronze shore]

100% flame ward up time though

[cold sand]

any1 here good at theorycrafting and wanna help me come up with a mage using Crest of Unity, Unstable Core, and wrongwarp, scaling elemental nova, defenses, and mana regen? Ideally, I'd get teleport on a short enough cooldown to use the nodes that drop novas to proc the Unstable Core during mapping, but not sure if it's possible or viable at all

[sacred ruin]

I'm pretty sure Crest of Unity is still bugged

like the ailments are bugged on it

[next lance]

sentinel has armor and resistances that should have a bigger factor than they do. There’s also leech and healing which seems less valuable than ward just due to how good it is

[sacred ruin]

unless that got fixed recently which I didn't see in the patch notes

[sacred ruin]

healing effectiveness scales ward gen at a level it shouldn't

[cold sand]

so would still take more damage, but the rest works?

[next lance]

that’s fair. (and also another ward ability XD)

[bronze shore]

lightnigh ageis flame ward frost guard

[sacred ruin]

I mean

runemaster getting free 30% less damage taken is kind of busted

I dunno why they haven't nerfed frostguard but here we are

[bronze shore]

sentinel getting free 75% all res is also busted

[prime flare]

Unstable core requires direct casts. So using teleport novas won't do anything

[sacred ruin]

res isn't as good

[cold sand]

oh that's so lame

[sacred ruin]

since you can get res on affixes/blessings alot easier

getting free 30% less damage taken that multiplies with other modifiers is lol

[sacred ruin]

No stuff like freeze rate, shock chance, ignite doesn't work with Crest of Unity I think

[prime flare]

It does still get the +3 to the skill though, so still pretty strong

[sacred ruin]

I'm not even sure that the bonuses like damage/crit chance work although I haven't checked

aoe works though

[barren pawn]

doesnt feel it, using it on my disintegrating nova build, seems fine

[sacred ruin]

I think the game isn't treating the tri ele novas as separate novas

it's like tri ele nova is a separate entity so some of the passives on the nova tree don't work properly

If that makes sense

so stuff like Immolation which gives you more ignite chance doesn't work, and I'm not sure something like spark charge would either (which is the biggest source of damage for novas)

[barren pawn]

doesnt feel like its not working

[sacred ruin]

shrug

I know for a fact that the ignite chance didn't work when I messed with it

aoe works, but some of the other stuff on the tree doesn't work

[barren pawn]

im igniting people with my novas sooo shrug

[prime flare]

It gets weird with immutable order as well. It'll change depending on whether there's more than one multi elemental skill on your bar

[sacred ruin]

You probably have other sources of ignite

[bronze shore]

yo i just found some sick idol

[sacred ruin]

Elemental Tranquility is an easy test, it definitely doesn't treat the nova properly

[nimble shoal]

The stuff that specifies specific novas won't work, but everything else does

[bronze shore]

look in item showcase

[sacred ruin]

Yeah I'm not sure if that's 100% intended or not

probably intended to prevent mass damage stacking

[nimble shoal]

It seems intended to me, there's basically just that one node ele tranq... I don't think any others actually are affected

[median bane]

so fractured crown needs mana and MoM affixes right?

but does +1focus/flatmana hybrid affix count?

[nimble shoal]

No, hybrids don't count

[bronze shore]

+%lightning dmg if have ageis and +lightning dmg (x2 over 300) could fecht for a good price right?

is a mid-high roll too

[median bane]

so it has to be the flat mana "Manafused" prefix?

[prime flare]

Guessing shatter nova only applies once right? Not potentially 4 times

[nimble shoal]

Yeah, just +mana and damage taken to mana. Do keep in mind that sealed affixes count, so you could have T1 damage to mana sealed, +mana as one of the prefixes, and overall 20 tiers of unsealed affixes and it's good to go

[nimble shoal]

Every line is independent, so yeah it could apply 4 times

[median bane]

i'm aware of that and the 21 tiers. I just saw a runed visage base in MG with the +1 focus + mana affix and was hoping that it would work. I would post it but image perms 💀

[prime flare]

Huh, okay, seems strong

[nimble shoal]

gotcha, nah it won't work unless you seal one of those prefixes and craft in damage to mana

er, I misread that as +focus and +mana prefixes

[median bane]

it's +focus that has flat mana attached to it

it already has mana before health affix

[nimble shoal]

Okay, then similar situation, you'd need to successfully seal one of those and craft +mana to make it viable

[next lance]

Is flameward 100 uptime even real? How?

[bronze shore]

im mememing but could be possible

[icy umbra]

you can get additional charges

[next lance]

Cuz i have seen ppl saying this online that seems to just not know better

E.g. saying frost wall makes flameward uptime 100% etc. dunno what they smoking

[icy umbra]

1 from tree 1 from body

[next lance]

The charges dont cd separately though

Its still the same cool down

[icy umbra]

so try to finish your encounter within those 2-3 charge period and have it recharge between packs or during the mob spawn phases

[steep kayak]

anyone can help with leveling?

[bronze shore]

i got 17m gold

what to do now

[cold sand]

So I guess I don't need to worry about scaling CDR for teleport at least, I would go channeled elemental nova instead? Could run like, 2x of those rings and get instant 150 all ele resists which would have insane elemental pen

[bronze shore]

[bronze shore]

ye im too lazy to fix it

still look for that int ring

then go for T6 Frost claw on twisted heart

change static to unstable core and im gud

[muted kindle]

anyone want to share some of the key things they're putting into their loot filter? this hoarding problem needs to stop lol

[sacred ruin]

filter's are dependent on factions

and char

[bronze shore]

tbf

late game you will only pick up exalted

and that it lol

the game slove loot filter it self by making t6/t7 gear the most powerful and most valueble

[abstract veldt]

is there anyone who get RED ALTARIA RING from COF prohercies?? i wasted 200k still no ring...

[muted kindle]

does attunement do anything for runemasters?

[shell fern]

yeah got one with 1lp. was on rank 7.

[abstract veldt]

i am at rank 9 %75

[shell fern]

only the baseline benefits of attunement, aka mana.

[abstract veldt]

still no ... farming favor and wasting it..

[next lance]

Hi guys. Sparkcharge is a spell not ailment right?

[shell fern]

took me over 1k hours pre 1.0 to get my first red ring.. so it'll drop eventually

[abstract veldt]

i am unlucky on that

same as queen belt searching for 2 but no drop

[still lake]

Do skills that frost wall cast need to be on the skillbar?

[weary hamlet]

Technically it's an ailment that triggers a spell, same as shadow daggers

[neon lynx]

A whole 200k favor and you didn’t drop the rarest item in the game!?

How unfair

[rustic crag]

hi guys is hydrahedron still playable for pushing corruption ?

[barren pawn]

so red ring = rarest item in the game?

[sacred ruin]

Yes

[barren pawn]

buy it off Mg.... got it.....

[sacred ruin]

Outside of 4 lp stuff it's the rarest in the game

[winter crow]

I just gamble my runes of ascendance for it, already got one in my first couple tries

runes of ascendance dont have much use, farm them and gamble

[barren pawn]

does the gambler drop uniques?

[manic oasis]

is sparkcharge for lightning blast bugged? doenst seem to procc

[umbral stone]

I have a question about Reactive Ward passive node if anyone can help elaborate. It seems to not activate at all while using low life items (exsang, last steps etc). Even if I spam potions to briefly go above 70% health then it doesn't activate. Is it correct to understand that the node will only activate if a hit or some dot causes my life total to change

[sturdy summit]

that's right. The node says it activates from damage. Life drain from low-life items is not damage.

[umbral stone]

It doesn't specify damage though, that's why it was bugging me to figure out if I was understanding correctly

When you drop below 70% health you gain...", I guess the node could use added clarification, but it's not the hugest of issues honestly

[safe grail]

here's wild thought; could it be activating and you aren't noticing it because of how fast ward moves?

[umbral stone]

Nah my ward was fully stabilized when I picked the node and didn't change. Also the CD of the node will display as a debuff, and it didn't 😮

[safe marsh]

other than criterion, is there anything else that can scale with attunement for mages?
I've had a look through the item list on letools but idk if i've missed anything

[winter crow]

[bronze shore]

Tbf red ring of alt is kinda overrated

[sturdy summit]

Thanks, I'll check it out!

[winter crow]

the 10% dmg reduc is op for survival

[bronze shore]

I mean that 10% is sure nice

But only if u reach 180

Which only good for build that stack alot of stats like spark charge

[bronze shore]

Why u dont use unstable core?

😭

+3 for nova and +1 for frost claw

[winter crow]

sure, I implemented some weird tech but its the best dmg/survival build that worked for me

[barren pawn]

the reason im not chasing high corr.... and am perfectly fine with disintegrating nova.

too many uniques for one build.

[sturdy summit]

just cause the uniques are on the planner doesn't mean they're all needed. Getting uniques is just a byproduct of progressing.

[bronze shore]

I belived spark charge multi cast nova is the highest performing build in runemaster

Maybe

Since hydra got nerf

Also pip why you dont use unstable core?

[winter crow]

because I dont need more skill points with omnis and it makes me so much tankier, so much that I dont need to spec into flame ward, I instead use static orb to proc on flame rush

[bronze shore]

Oh

So u use omni

[winter crow]

so I have perma lighning aegis which gives 50% light dmg, 25% dmg reduc and 19% cast speed from idol

yeah its some weird tech but I found it better

[bronze shore]

Guess unstable core is more dmg

[winter crow]

yeah a bit, but not much

consider static shell allows you to run static orb instead of flame ward specced

[winter crow]

and static orb gives this

[bronze shore]

But i doubt anything can hit through the ward gen before 1k

[bronze shore]

I mean i could still do this with unstable core lul

[winter crow]

you would loser like 150% armor

and without flameward specced wouldnt be able to tank high corr

[bronze shore]

Oh

[winter crow]

cuz my flameward rn only gives the 30% dr

[bronze shore]

You dont spec in flameard

[bronze shore]

Is not actually 30 dr

[winter crow]

nope, not needed with the tankinnes from shell

[bronze shore]

Is around like 60

Since u also need to account for the passive node

[winter crow]

im not speccing it

thats why only 30

im using it on bar for the 30% unspecced and the fire rune for frostguard

since static orb procs from flame rush

[bronze shore]

You can try cold conver flame ward fireball and a random cold skill

Oh wait

Let me think again

[winter crow]

cast speed better always

[bronze shore]

Cold convert flame ward |fireball |cold convert Static orb?

And dont spec in fireball

Could work

[sacred ruin]

Shell wins out on super high gear for nova I think

[winter crow]

yeah, the high armor% is more valuable than some elemental dmg

and removes the need to spec flame ward

so you can recover the dmg from there

[bronze shore]

Static orb still give lightning aegis even spec into cold convert for frost guard

[winter crow]

yeah but why have static orb on bar?

it procs from flame rush

[bronze shore]

Static orb to proc the helm

Although it wont do much

But spec into flame rush seems a waste

[winter crow]

im using low mana static orb

with high mana is unsubale

cuz 0 mana regen

[bronze shore]

Eh well build preference i guess

We got our own way to cook

I personally wouldnt want to miss out flameward

And the damage from unstable core

[sacred ruin]

fireball meteor isn't bad actually

Just that top level meta builds are crazy

[bronze shore]

Farming lp twisted heart is so sad

Im still rank 6 MG so i cant buy LP twisted heart

[sacred ruin]

Getting to 8 isn't actually hard

[prime fable]

what lvl are u

[bronze shore]

I know

It just a pain to grind

[sacred ruin]

I've got two level 100s

And a few other 90s

[prime fable]

jeez ok. i got a lvl 99 meteor i procc it from crits

[bronze shore]

But the idea of using omni is nice though

I may try it too

Since this build stack int so much some all res from omni would be nice

There a plasma orb build

Prettt nice

[prime tree]

i'm playing lowlife frostbite frost claw, any tricks for sustaining mana? i am stacking cdr to recharge with teleport + runic invocation but it's not enough on bosses

do i just need mana reg on gear?

[bronze shore]

Uh throw the build in planner

[sacred ruin]

It's pretty easy to sustain frost claw now

[bronze shore]

We have a look

[sacred ruin]

Just get the idols and take the mana passives

[bronze shore]

That the problem see,we need to know what he using

[prime tree]

i only have one 11% mana eff idol socketed, i could got another 8% in there but i'd have to drop throne of ambition + a really good cold res/ward idol

working on the planner

[bronze shore]

Just import it in

[untold tartan]

Is Frostbite or Ignite max stack is 999?

[prime tree]

first i need an account. does import work with offline characters?

[bronze shore]

You reach 999?

Dam

[untold tartan]

yeah, pretty easy

[bronze shore]

There a section for offline

I dont know why this anoyed me but this the second person today ask is there a offline import

Where the offline import is right next to the online import

[prime tree]

i went to 'my builds' first 🤷‍♂️

[wet patio]

is there a way to see on lastepochtools what experimental affixes you can get on belts?

[prime tree]

i have zero mana reg lol, working on upgrading the ring and helm so i am trying to get reg on the ring

other than that i could fit another idol in but i'd lose both of the 2x2s and the cold res one is well rolled, it's a lot of retention

[bronze shore]

U might need more mana efficency

What the mana cost of your frost claw?

[prime tree]

37, goes to 33 with the second one

[bronze shore]

Yikes

[prime tree]

yea LMAO

[bronze shore]

That very high

You probably want to unspec some extra cast

Since no mana = no dmg anyway

[prime tree]

i can try it out and see how it feels, i don't run out of mana in monos and idk how much it will hurt clear

[bronze shore]

Keep unspec extra cast until you can comfortably keep shooting frost claw

If you dont run out mana then is all g

Also

I wouldnt advise you to go exsang last step

Especially with only 1k hp

I saw that u go for alot of ward gen item

[prime tree]

it's just stuff i had laying around from my warlock, i'm planning to transition into vessel at some point

[bronze shore]

You probably dont need that helm too

[prime tree]

helm is my first upgrade

then the font ring

i definitely don't need the 16-18k ward i'm getting on big bosses

[ocean mauve]

which build uses the "+mana, increased fire damage if your mana is over 300" idol? theyre crazy expensive

[sturdy summit]

well, if it's fire damage, it's probably hydra, right?

not aware of any other popular fire builds

[ocean mauve]

theyre like a million+ on the market

hydra doesnt need mana

[prime tree]

meteor coc is a thing but i don't think it's that popular

[bronze shore]

I got a lightning dmg+ while have aegis and lightning dmg+(2x if over 300) sitting in my inv

Cant use it since i desperately need my mana efficency

😭

[sturdy summit]

it does if it runs damage mods that want 300 mana

[strange karma]

does shred does anything for melee elemental dmg?

[ocean mauve]

found it, you're right lizard's maxroll hydra build uses them: https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/hydrahedron-runemaster-guide

[sacred ruin]

Maxroll builds are kinda bad ngl

[sturdy summit]

armor shred? armor applies to non-physical damage at 75% effectiveness, so yes

I don't want to question lizard but I can't imagine that to be correct, think he recomended a much of mana gen stuff for plasma orb as well and I've never had mana problems with plasma orb....and hydra is the same thing mana wise

but oh well more money for me

Lizard writes some of those guides off outdated info

Hydra is not as strong as spark charge

[neon lynx]

i mean, in waht game have maxroll guides ever been great? lol

[sacred ruin]

There's no way

Maxroll is fine as a starter

It's not great for fine tuned builds or for min max

[ocean mauve]

plasma orb is best for group, spark charge best for solo, hydra not even close yeah but to be fair to lizard he did move hydra down a tier

[sturdy summit]

the important thing about a guide is the writeup with the explanation of why each thing was chosen, not the specific choices.

[sacred ruin]

Yes but some of the choices are questionable like their frost claw guise
