[raw tartan]

lower right skillnode, cannot chain but hits same target per chain number

[limpid drum]

nah didnt skill that

[raw tartan]

should work fine then

[limpid drum]

guess it just doesnt show then

[raw tartan]

are u having low crit chance in general or why skill closed circuit in the first place?

[limpid drum]

its the best cold rune skill i guess

i need 2 cold runes to trigger the cold / fire / cold skill

and it also gives the 15% dmg buff

[raw tartan]

lol u use lb for cold? o.O

just go frost wall and runebolt

[hollow rover]

but you said you use Immutable Order therefore you dont actally need to cast those spells just you main spell and that will give you your runes

[raw tartan]

increased dmg, not more, that´s quite a big difference

[limpid drum]

ill explain u guys after his mono what my clusterfk means

one sec

[raw tartan]

np, don´t stress ^^

[hollow rover]

increased is worse than more correct ?

[sturdy summit]

worse isn't the word I'd use, but kinda

[hollow rover]

okay the better of the 2 is more damage right ? XD

[sturdy summit]

increased means it adds to other sources of increased

if you have lots of sources of increased damage, 15% isn't going to add 15% more damage

but 15% More means 15% More

[hollow rover]

yeah cus its additive not multiplicative i hink

[raw tartan]

depends, but for most cases yes

[sturdy summit]

exactly

[hollow rover]

whareas more would be multiplicative or no ?

[sturdy summit]

yep

[hollow rover]

ya thought so just trying to makesure i understand it correctly lol

[sturdy summit]

More and Less are keywords for multiplicative, while Increased and Reduced are keywords for additive

[raw tartan]

well isn´t it other way around? more is + increased is x

[sturdy summit]

although, Reduced is a little inconsistent, because Damage Reduction means Less Damage

[hollow rover]

good to know that will simply a lot of choices i make going forward

[limpid drum]

okay now ill explain my situation, take it with a grain of salt cuz its my first arpg and i have no clue what im doing

[sturdy summit]

no. Increased is additive.

[raw tartan]

how that? if i get +5 spell dmg its added to my base dmg where +50% is multplicated with the base dmg

[sturdy summit]

+5 Spell Damage isn't Increased Damage, that's Added Damage. Added, Increased, More: 3 different concepts

[raw tartan]

added and more is the same afaik

[sturdy summit]

Increased damage is like, 50% Increased Cold Damage

[limpid drum]

So currently im lvl 72 trying to go for frostclaw build but my issue is i cant use it more than 4 times literally without running out of mana, so i use LB on the side rn for dps but also have it on cuz i thought its a good skill to use for cold rune and has a dmg buff on top of it since i want to basically auto cast the cold / fire / cold ruinic skill with immutable order (mainly that node because i dont need to use my brain for it)

thats basically all

[raw tartan]

where´s the difference in added and more o.O

[raw tartan]

are u using a ladle as weapon?

[sturdy summit]

Added is added to your base value. More multiplies your total and stacks multiplicatively. Increased multiplies your total, and stacks additively.

[sturdy summit]

Formula: (50+Added) * (Increased + Increased + Increased) * (More) * (More) * (More)

[limpid drum]

https://imgur.com/a/TFYSGnn

this is my gear

[hollow rover]

did you take Gift of Winter and Frozen Reign to reduce its mana cost and have you gone down the botom left and On Through the Snow and its sister nodes as they again increase its cost

[limpid drum]

trying to get 77 so i can equip unstable core

[raw tartan]

can u show me your frostclaw tree also

[limpid drum]

yes

sec

[wet patio]

was there some secret buff to unique drop rate or something. im getting 4 plus an echo right now

[raw tartan]

that´s normal

depends how much mobs u kill

[limpid drum]

https://imgur.com/a/TFYSGnn

added the skill tree

[sturdy summit]

Did putting it as a formula make sense?

[raw tartan]

not too much tbh xD

[limpid drum]

wait its bugged lol

[raw tartan]

gimme ur acc name and charname then i can see your stuff

[raw tartan]

where´s the 50 coming from

[limpid drum]

https://imgur.com/a/GWui0LJ

[limpid drum]

sosaranks / 19o5

[hollow rover]

nowehere i belive it was an example lol

[sturdy summit]

50 is the base damage of the ability. 30% more damage means you take whatever you already have, and multiply it by 1.3. +5 damage gets added to your base damage before you multiply it by any of your Increased or More damage.

[barren pawn]

Shhhhh

[raw tartan]

well yeah ur frostlclaw skilltree is ur problem

[limpid drum]

ah lol

i wanna spam it like others

but literally im out of mana after 4 uses

[raw tartan]

skill gift of winter 3/3 100%

[hollow rover]

Frozn Reign also

i also suggest trying to find a Sceptre that has -mana cost on it

[wet patio]

lol. ive been gaming since release and havent seen this amount of uniques dropping so frequently. not that i have any use for world drop uniques just found it to be more than usual for the first few echoes

[limpid drum]

isnt ladle bis for it then get it on with potential?

[sturdy summit]

a lot of world drop uniques are really good if you get them with LP on them

[limpid drum]

but i didnt unlock potentials yet sadly

[sturdy summit]

some are good even without LP

[hollow rover]

it might be but in the meantime if you are having mana problems that i not conducive to a functional build my build requires frozen ire with -mano cost slammed but until i can do that im just using a good scetre that gives me the -mana cost so i dont have mana problems and can map smoothly

[raw tartan]

https://imgur.com/a/CLRfL06 all of those will help u but most of them is gift of winter which is kinda a must have 3/3 skilled

[limpid drum]

is frostclaw with elenova + glacier proc good ?

cuz that was the one i was trying to go for

to proc both aoes

[limpid drum]

kk ill try to find and buy one

[raw tartan]

if you want eyecancer, yes very good indeed

[hollow rover]

idk abou glacier but i do it with nova and ice barrage

[sturdy summit]

yeah, frost claw + nova is very good

[limpid drum]

yea i forgot what that ice aoe was called lol

[raw tartan]

but im think you will need a +4 frostclaw slammed onto a twisted heart for the FC+Nova build to work

at least that´s what i heard from the buildfounder

[sturdy summit]

you're thinking of a specific build that might need it, but you can do FC+Nova without that

frost claw + nova is good as early as level 30

which is around when I estimate you'll have enough skill points to do what you want with it.

[raw tartan]

just know this one

[remote onyx]

I just started a hydrahedron runemaster. Does the bug fix nerf the build at all

[sturdy summit]

yes, it's very nerfed

[limpid drum]

idk how to find the +frostclaw exalteds ive never seen one

[sturdy summit]

you can still level with it, but won't find empowered to be nearly as much of a cakewalk as it was in beta.

[raw tartan]

it´s rare af, and even more rare on a twisted heart, it´s some high high end build

[sturdy summit]

and you never will ;_;

[raw tartan]

but apparently you don´t need it as philipov said

[hollow rover]

i have a filter set to specifacly recolour and emphasize all mage +too skills

[raw tartan]

i just know the planner, never played the build myself

[sturdy summit]

yeah, you don't need the frostclaw relic until very lategame

people who are just starting out are not well served by looking at endgame builds, because they don't show you all the builds you need to use to get to the point where you can build that way

you don't start a build at level 1 and do the same build until 1000 corruption.

you work your way up

[gritty pagoda]

glacier 👍

[muted kindle]

What's bugged about the sanguine runestones that is getting fixed?

[sturdy summit]

it scaled with points when it shouldn have

[muted kindle]

Idk why my brain isn't understanding that lol

[sturdy summit]

the number of points you put in the node

[raw tartan]

the threshold scaled with your points before the nerf, after the nerf it won´t

[gritty pagoda]

wack

[raw tartan]

like who used that anyway

there´s just some wacky build from dreadful on yt who used that

whose most likely won´t work now

[gritty pagoda]

I liked it when leveling/getting into monos

[raw tartan]

i dunno about those aoe run into things and basically do nothing builds

just not my type at all

[hollow rover]

mostt of the builds i have seen specifically state not to take that node because its bbugged and will likely be fixed so i never bothered with it myslf

[gritty pagoda]

that is the health regen applies to ward thing right

[raw tartan]

that´s why i never made a WL 🤣 🤣 🤣

[raw tartan]

yep

[weary hamlet]

Vessel gives you only up to 66% and it's quite good, if this thing gave you an extra 120% it was giga busted

[gritty pagoda]

the names of things never stay in my head

[hollow rover]

yeah i see the first vids on YT when they where just getting like 30-40k ward and was like yep no WL for me thats gonna be fixed lol

[gritty pagoda]

opulent catalyst my friend

[raw tartan]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIeHXY9LHKI does this look busted to you?

[limpid drum]

thanks for the tips guys!

[raw tartan]

i mean, we could already see that before 1.0 came out since streamer got a 1.0 beta 💀

[hollow rover]

i get his point because technically with enough health regen and using that node RM can stack ABSURD ward more than acolyte even

[limpid drum]

whats a good sceptre / wand so i can spam frostclaw a bit easier?

[raw tartan]

ladel all the way

[sturdy summit]

frozen ire is the unique sceptre for cold builds. Mad alchemist ladle is the busted wand that's good for everyone, it only drops from exiled mages.

[raw tartan]

pscht, it´s not busted 🤫 they´re seeing us

[hollow rover]

im using an ornate sceptre atm but thats because its the only thing i found so far with -mana but i would look for one that has the best impicits that suite your build

[limpid drum]

Yea im using ladle but like someone here said before its better for me to use a better one for better mana sustain untill i can fix my build

Hmm

[weary hamlet]

That's a base vessel build, now triple the ward and it is up to like 25k sustained, if that's not busted to you idk what to say

[raw tartan]

and i would triple that why exactly?

[hollow rover]

yeah Frozen Ire is what im going for over ladel cus im cold focused it might be better for @limpid drum to also work towards a Frozen Ire with -mana cost slammed

[frosty pewter]

Ladle is slightly overrated unless youve got a high lp ladle imo

[raw tartan]

1% increased cast speed per 2 int

[frosty pewter]

48% more cant really compete with the huge amount of flat from a dragonhorn, plus other mods

[raw tartan]

well you´re also getting +48 more dmg

[frosty pewter]

I mean a t5 cast speed is like 40? Unless youre getting 200 int its not outdoing it

[raw tartan]

if 8 ailments are applied tho

[weary hamlet]

Keep reading the bug description again until enlightenment is reached

[raw tartan]

yeah the node that is literally used in the buildvideo is the bugged one? so what

[frosty pewter]

Like yeah a slammed ladle is good but its not the end all be all of wands imo

[sturdy summit]

what is?

[raw tartan]

i dunno ashunava not able to read the patchnotes apparently cuz hes talking something about vessel relic XD i dunno

[frosty pewter]

Like, youve got unrolled ladle < exalted wand < high lp ladle

[raw tartan]

hmm not sure about that one, or is there an exalted out that gives +50% cast speed / +48% MORE dmg

[sturdy summit]

well, sure, high lp ladle is still ladle. What would you rank above ladle that isn't a better ladle, though? I'm ready to learn.

there's dragorath, of course, but that's a dagger.

[frosty pewter]

I misphrased that, high lp ladle is probably the best, but if you dont have a high lp ladle it might not beat an exalted wand

[sturdy summit]

oh yeah, that makes sense

[frosty pewter]

And obviously if your build needs dragorath or something then itll be better

[sturdy summit]

there are only a few uniques that are better than a good exalt, for builds that can use all their stats

without LP

[frosty pewter]

Yeah, my main issue is people not explaining the exalt > 0lp ladle thing

[neon lynx]

Ladle has almost no base spell damage. It’s pretty easy to beat early on

[frosty pewter]

Given, a lot of my tests were a build that doesnt use int so that may skew it a bit

[raw tartan]

also given that 8 ailments give you +48 more dmg?

[neon lynx]

48% more of 0 is still 0

That more gives very little value if u have no base damage lol

[frosty pewter]

Depends on the base damage and damage effectiveness of your spell

Which is a super conmplex calculation

[raw tartan]

it has 16

[neon lynx]

Also early on your int will be lower

Meaning you gain less from the cast speed too

[neat flame]

48% more is definitely overrated considering the low flat spell dmg base. most spells are around 20 - 30 flat, ladle has 12 - 16, dragon horn has 54- 60. unless you have enough int for enigma or dex for mourning frost to start offsetting the flat, clean ladle definitely worse than a decently rolled exalted (ex:t6/t5/t5/t5) early on

[neon lynx]

^

[sturdy summit]

more damage is better when you've already got a lot of increased damage and base damage

[neon lynx]

Wrongwarp kinda slept on too when ur in the earlier/mid game phase of your mage

[sturdy summit]

is wrongwarp a world drop?

[neon lynx]

Yeah

[frosty pewter]

Is it the damage / speed that makes wrongward good?

[sturdy summit]

I thought it was the buffs

[neon lynx]

It gives a lot

Gives you a good chunk of move speed and cast speed

[neat flame]

everything, the stun is super broken for some bosses

[neon lynx]

Stuns things

Gives good damage when u have decent move speed

Has good base damage

It’s just a solid overall weapon if u don’t need something specialized for your build

[frosty pewter]

Yeah that seems like a solid wand

And chronowarp nice qol

[sturdy summit]

I'm currently using a 1lp frozen ire with t5 cast speed on it :p

[neon lynx]

The random tp is kinda ass

But it gives so much movespeed

U just run around everywhere

Faster than if you were teleporting lol

[neat flame]

its really easy to hit 150+ ms on a proper wrong wapr setup

[raw tartan]

for all my fellow mana strike spark charge RM´s - reworked quite everything (passive trees + skill trees) besides flame ward skill tree given you were also using the maxroll guide to start with it (ignore my bad gear pls)

[crimson valve]

wrong warp is amazingly good. 300% increased spell damage if u reach 100% move speed, 35% cast speed and that good unique lock mechanic

[neon lynx]

And that’s +450%? spell dmg

Pretty substantial buff lol

[sturdy summit]

there are 4 core items for low life builds, right? exsang, last steps.... is twisted heart the third one? what's 4?

[crimson valve]

no twisted is full hp

[neon lynx]

Experimental gloves

[sturdy summit]

experimental gloves, right, what's 4

[crimson valve]

afaik it's 3?! isn' it gloves boots and exang?

[neon lynx]

I see a lot of them running shackles

For the ward retention

Idk how necessary it is tho

[sturdy summit]

ah, I guess it's shackles

okay, good, then I just need to be on the hunt for experimental gloves

[limpid drum]

why ppl use eternal gauntlets ? is it for defense purposees or?

[raw tartan]

they´re enough, got them 3 and have 8.5k town ward

[crimson valve]

dayum that's good

[neat flame]

dots are one of the deadliest sources of dmg taken

[crimson valve]

what's ur hp tho?

[raw tartan]

1958 so quite low still

[crimson valve]

8.5k with 2k hp is already pretty good

[raw tartan]

well but you gotta say that i got t7 gloves

im at 50% health to ward 55% is max all BiS

those make a huge difference

steps can just be 10-12 exs always 20

[crimson valve]

you got LP on those?

[raw tartan]

yeah exs is neat, steps are dogoshit

even linked my char about a minute ago if u´re interested

still gearing everything tho

[sturdy summit]

oh, so low life builds don't actually get to low life (35%)? Is that just a lich thing, then, for the buffs that trigger at low life?

[raw tartan]

this is just the gear i dropped with my main

[raw tartan]

not at all im at 37/1958 all time every time

[crimson valve]

oh yeah i see

[sturdy summit]

oh, I must have misunderstood what you meant by 50% health.

[crimson valve]

no i ask for his hp because those items grant u ward based on ur missing hp. so the more hp u have the more u are missing and the more ward u get

[sturdy summit]

I did, gotcha

[raw tartan]

the affix, current health lost to ward

[sturdy summit]

right, I parsed that wrong

[raw tartan]

well and if you got every stats as high as it can get you can have 55% of that

[sturdy summit]

nice

good to have a target.

[raw tartan]

but ward retention is also a big thing then, since immense ward per second won´t do much without enough retention tho

still at just 430% so far / 95 int

[sturdy summit]

which is why shackles are so good

[raw tartan]

i got like 8.5 town ward / about 10-12 echo / bosses around 13-17 depending how long i can stand still

[sturdy summit]

and what corruption?

[raw tartan]

just 312

im more or less still farming

[sturdy summit]

that's good. We should start calling 300 "par" :p

[limpid drum]

whats the best option on gloves for frostclaw nova build?

[raw tartan]

@stiff crown is having a decked out setup of mine and runs 700-800 corr if i remember correctly

[sturdy summit]

if your frostclaw nova build is doing frostbite damage, Shackles are the best glove option

like, even without LP

if you're not a frostbite build, you'll need lp on them

[limpid drum]

whats lp?

light pene`?

[raw tartan]

Legendary potential, how much affixes that can get slammed on

[limpid drum]

i see thaks

[sturdy summit]

legendary potential, which lets you add affixes to a unique, up to the potential, randomly, by destroying a 4-affix exalted item.

[raw tartan]

You can "fuse" exalteds into uniques to get a legendary and the LP says how many random affixes of the exalted you put into are applied

[hollow rover]

yeah shackles is what im after now about to fight Formosus now wish me luck XD

[sturdy summit]

good luck!

[raw tartan]

I went lucky with them i think it was 2nd or 3rd kill but i don't use em 😅

Tried a shackles setup on my marksman and well... There's a reason i rerolled lol

[hollow rover]

i was silly and stood in his beam thinking i generated enough ward turns out i dont noted lol

[sturdy summit]

I was lucky to get a 0lp shackles very quickly, because I'm doing frostbite and can use the 0lp

[hollow rover]

yeah same i would like LP but its no necessary

[limpid drum]

but to fuse items in need LP on them no?

[sturdy summit]

right

[raw tartan]

Yes and u need to kill julra to have access to the foundary u will need

[sturdy summit]

the Eternity Cache

[raw tartan]

1 julra kill = 1 time a x LP slam

[sturdy summit]

julra is the boss of Temporal Sanctum

the reward for doing that dungeon is being able to make a legendary, even moreso than Julra's loot (which isn't bad)

[limpid drum]

never dropped anyy unqiue with lp and im 73

i joined merchants guild to buy them

[sturdy summit]

level 60 is when you should start seeing uniques, but by going merchant guild, you nerfed your drop rates, so maybe it's higher for you

[stiff crown]

I'm at 676, but not having a difficult time. Just need to spend time to go higher

[limpid drum]

im grinding echoes for lvl rn i never did any other content lol

[stiff crown]

Btw, I'm testing the thing you suggested vs Mana Storm. Will show results shortly

[hollow rover]

eh didnt get shackle but i did get 1lp snowdrif from a prophecy

[sturdy summit]

Blood, Frost, and Death, then is the one you want to focus on more than others. Although, do each at least once just to get to empowered unlock

Formosus, who drops shackles, is the boss of that

[hollow rover]

if he is after shackles he can come join me in empowered i just got here so only 100 corruption

[limpid drum]

i dont even know where the corruption content is lol

[hollow rover]

atfter you beat the 3 lvl 90 monos they get empowered

[sturdy summit]

after you finish the level 90 timelines, you can unlock it by going to the island in between them

[limpid drum]

ah lol well im only lvl 73 rn

[sturdy summit]

you can do empowered as early as level 80

don't let being underlevelled stop you. Your character's power has already detached itself completely from the level of the zone

[hollow rover]

yh im 82 just got to empowered

its 2 gazes per orobys right ?

[sturdy summit]

that's what people recommend

[hollow rover]

alright ill farm out the stability to fight him once more before rasing my corruption

[limpid drum]

i can finally spam frost claw!!!

thanks alot guys

omg

[sturdy summit]

nice!

[hollow rover]

really need to fix my phys and necrotic res lol

[hollow rover]

so nice when it actually works right huh

[sturdy summit]

I need to fix my necrotic resist by getting rid of it 🤣

[hollow rover]

well i ignored it entirely because eventually i will have Frozen Ire but in the meantime its becoming a problem haha

[sturdy summit]

yeah, I have frozen ire, but I can't stop getting otherwise good gear that just happens to have necrotic resist

[hollow rover]

damn you need that cold res xP

[limpid drum]

https://imgur.com/a/2GxnwUq should i distrubute my next skill points like this?

or any better ideas?

[sturdy summit]

look at the bottom center-right

the nodes that makes FC hit the same target multiple times, and gives it +2 projectiles

those are really good

[limpid drum]

okay so ele nova to 3 then rest to get the one u just told me?

[sturdy summit]

yeah. I'm not sure about upper left.

[limpid drum]

ele nova one?

or glacier

[sturdy summit]

sorry, upper left

I actually don't remember what those nodes do

[limpid drum]

yea im not speccing into upper left then, ill go for the one you told me

[limpid drum]

gives me an ice aoe

[sturdy summit]

oh yeah, nova will do you for all the ice aoe you need

do you want to do crit, or dot?

[stiff crown]

@raw tartan In short, for single target, the results are about the same. I seem to get more stacks of armor shred with Mana Storm because even though the game only shows 1 number for damage, it still counts as 2 separate hits. I tested this by hitting an enemy with and without the node. I get 8 vs 4 stacks (I have 405% armor shred). So with Mana Storm, I can max out (visually and maybe actually?) at 999 armor shred stacks, but the DPS is about the same due to the added damage from the other nodes. However, the non-Mana Storm route gives you more mob clearing ability. So I think it's best to not go Mana Storm when you can put points in Rune Sap and stuff. For my tests, I ran 3 runs of the Blood, Frost, Death monolith boss at 676 corruption with each build and recorded. Only did from 100% to 50% HP due to size of clips. I clipped the best runs from each build here. With Mana Storm: https://imgur.com/a/df83mvC. Without Mana Storm: https://imgur.com/a/A9pm2dS

[hollow rover]

if he puts 2 more points into ele nova he will be 1 short for the ice barrage you are sugesting

[dreamy cosmos]

dude i cannot stay alive at 200 corruption with runemaster

[sturdy summit]

I'm not suggesting ice barrage.

[dreamy cosmos]

109% crit avoidance, all maxed resist.

[sturdy summit]

I think if you use ice barrage, cast it manually

[hollow rover]

oh my bad i cast it through FC

[sturdy summit]

yeah, I'm not in favor of that.

I think defensive stuff should be reactive

using it at the right time is the most important thing

[hollow rover]

it can stack the frostbites to an absurd amount im geting around 250+ stacks and i only have 43% cast speed lol

[sturdy summit]

hmmm, maybe. I'd rather just get more armor shred/frostbite chance, and frostbite duration. I easily get over 500, and it should be more

[dreamy cosmos]

what is the key to staying alive at 200 corruption?

[hollow rover]

by the time im done the plan is for the frostbite stacks to say 999+ lol

[sturdy summit]

multiple layers of damage reduction, like frostguard, lightning aegis, flame ward, and other things that give you like "30% less damage taken"

[autumn dagger]

^

there is unironically tons

of it floating around

[hollow rover]

low life to ward is another option or just ward generation in general providing you can get a semi decent amount of it

im getting around 5k atm its not really enough buts thats due to a lack of cast speed

[sturdy summit]

ward generation is a really important topic with a lot to say about it, but I think if I were to identify one thing that is THE key, it's having those layers of DR

[autumn dagger]

im only at about 5k also

but im lvl 66

soo got alot of growth

[hollow rover]

im 82 but my ward generation comes from casting frostclaw so the faster i cast the faster generate just not found ay decent cast speed stuu that works witth my build yet 😦

[autumn dagger]

i use 2 invoker rings

[sturdy summit]

same here, I get a ton of ward from casting FC, and if I were to run out of mana, my defenses start to sputter :p

[hollow rover]

yeah i noticed a MASSIVE improvement to survivabilty from Reyowyns frostguard and Flame Ward

[autumn dagger]

im spellblade using the claw + enig offhand

[hollow rover]

yep i panic if i run out of mana lol

[autumn dagger]

really sucks i cant post snips

makes me screem

[teal oasis]

Ward

:3

[sturdy summit]

you can import your build to lastepochtools and post the link

[autumn dagger]

its all ward? always has been 🔫

also im psure that charge stacking runemaster is supposed to be crazy

for sparkcharge

[sturdy summit]

there are a lot of varieties of spark charge that are quite popular right now, yeah, but I don't recommend them to people who are asking for beginner builds unless they ask specifically for that

[autumn dagger]

this is what im aiming for basicly

im missing the stormcarved atm

strand of souls and oceareon

[still stump]

holy +4 frost claw actually exists lol

[marble eagle]

Playing lightning frostclaw nova runemaster and literally cant play the game during peak hours. Anyone else playing this build get incredible lag during peak hours ??

[sturdy summit]

oceareon is so weird. It's such a good cold ring, and then there's that random shock modifier.

but I guess, hey, I can get shock. np

[autumn dagger]

the freeze multi is actually wicked for frostclaw

[sturdy summit]

oh yeah, it even comes with shock chance

[sturdy summit]

exactly. I'm using snowdrift and I'm doing frostbite

hmm, does freeze chance per stack of chill get used by snowdrift boots?

[1.0] 10-25k WARD! 1k Frostbite Stacks | New BEST Shatter Strike Spellblade - Build Guide by Bigdaddy

[autumn dagger]

also this is pretty cool looking

dual buzz buzz setup

[sturdy summit]

does that build directly cast frost claw?

[autumn dagger]

no

both of those i linked

trigger it

[sturdy summit]

I don't play a spellblade. How do they trigger it?

[autumn dagger]

30% chance via talent

attack v fast = lots of procs of it

[sturdy summit]

from shatter?

[autumn dagger]

nah mana strike

and shatter ig

[sturdy summit]

ah, nice. so that's something I could use if I made a melee runemaster ;d

[autumn dagger]

because its all melee skills have a chance irc

[sturdy summit]

oh, is it a passive?

[autumn dagger]

on frostclaw yea

its the bottom route

also that free rate multi

for ward

irc runemaster is better then spellblade because it has more cdr access

[sturdy summit]

oh, Macuahuitl. Wow, I guess I totally blanked that node out because it said melee...

[autumn dagger]

soo can upkeep ward and enchant wep

[safe grail]

this build cranks for spellblade.

[autumn dagger]

like the spark setup i mean

but yea that spellblade build looks sick

just easier to setup the charge one

[sturdy summit]

I think at a high level, what makes runemaster so good is it's able to scale both its damage and defenses without sacrificing either, which both sorc and runemaster find it harder to get both at the same time.

[autumn dagger]

tldr runemaster is overtuned

same with falc

[sturdy summit]

yeaaaah

[autumn dagger]

theyj ust got like

way to good nodes

and % on stuff

like that falc node that gives 100% glance blow with the erased shield

is wild

[sturdy summit]

I'm levelling a falconer right now, and it feels like all the nodes suck.

but they don't

clearly not

it just feels like I don't want anything.

for certain key skills

but the things you DO want are seriously good

[safe grail]

that spellblade build is very easy to gear out omg lol

[autumn dagger]

falc is just umbral shadowdagger sim till like what 35 points into tree

lol

yea 30 for aerial assault

which is your main like shabang

[sturdy summit]

30 for ballista

[autumn dagger]

ur cream of the crop

that skill is soo overloaded that its hilarious ng

when you go ward lowlife it also generates ward for you

[sturdy summit]

don't even use aerial assault. shift or decoy and smoke bomb. falcon, dive bomb, ballista

[autumn dagger]

dang

im surprised considering it gives your ballis 75% inc as

[sturdy summit]

the ballistas aren't there to shoot, they're there to explode

shooting is just a perk

[autumn dagger]

ah ur that build

[sturdy summit]

yes, the eye cancer build

[autumn dagger]

ah yes just flashbang myself

every 0.5

surely my eyes will be fine :clueless:

[sturdy summit]

my eyes are already not fine

[autumn dagger]

based'

the full aerial assault build is pgood

you just aerial assault everything around you takes like 50k + from aerial then you just chuck a shitload of umbrals out

that all explode and then apply like 50k + tooltip umbrals

[sturdy summit]

I was doing aerial assault before I finished the campaign, but I have all these apogees lying around, so I thought... I want to use them for something, and if I do it on falconer, I can dual wield them!

[pastel heart]

Hey guys, its mandatory that a mage use an sceptre build, I have a good staff but no shield

?

[sturdy summit]

you want a catalyst, not a shield

[hollow rover]

some mages use melee weapons so no they are not limited o just a sceptre XD

[sturdy summit]

wand or sceptre and catalyst are often prefered by runemasters because of some particular passives we have. staves aren't unheard of either.

[pastel heart]

I am sorcerer

[hollow rover]

sceptres are generally used because of the -mana cost they can get but if you build dont need that you can use wands or staffs jsut fine

[pastel heart]

Thanks for the advices ppl

:3

[sturdy summit]

all wands and some staves also come with -3 mana cost implicit. Sceptres don't, but they can get an affix that does -mana cost, and at t6 and t7, it's better. -4 and -5

[hollow rover]

ahh i see got it thanks

and i presume a wand with a -3 implicit cannot get Spellslinger correct ?

[sturdy summit]

that's right

spellslinger is only on sceptres

[hollow rover]

ya hence the sceptres just being better for some builds

[sturdy summit]

but that's at the top end

t7 and even t6 spellslinger is really hard to find

and very expensive on the market

if you're not at that point yet, a wand is fine too

[hollow rover]

yeah im still not using frozen ire because i have a T6 spellslinger sceptre

if i switch to ire i run into mana problems but i wanna get shackles asap before i look for an lp ire

[sturdy summit]

is it because you're autocasting barrage?

[hollow rover]

it is its expensive lol

46 cost lol

[sturdy summit]

maybe the adjustment you should make is to not autocast that :p

[hollow rover]

yh i have just 1 point so its only 5% otherwise i would have mana issues even with -mana

but maybe i should look into the tree a bi more and just no be lazy and manual cast barrage on tougher enemies

[hoary kernel]

sorceres is so broken im lvl 22 and do 5kdmg with one spell

[safe grail]

it's okay. sorc sucks later.

[sturdy summit]

harsh, but fair

[hollow rover]

lmao way to give them a vote of confidence 😛

[safe grail]

i just tell it like it is, brothers.

[hoary kernel]

sure buddy

[safe grail]

I'm uh... not joking lmao

sorc is super subpar in the endgame lol

[hoary kernel]

you played it?

[tough crane]

Got mah Twisted/Bleeding Heart, Shackles, and T6 mvspeed Snowdrift, T6 mana reduction scepter. We blasting now bois!

[safe grail]

yeah lol. during beta. it's why i rolled RM

[hoary kernel]

game isnt in beta anymore ,-,

[safe grail]

it can be in beta or 1.0, sorc is still just behind RM unfortunately.

das all.

[hollow rover]

i am 100% sure that Freezing Cascade from Ele Nova is NOT proccing when it is cast via Frostclaw

[hoary kernel]

doesnt mean it sucks lol

and idk why u even bring rm into the confersation

[hollow rover]

because it is objectively better in every aspect

not that im jumping on the band wagon just stating the known facts

[sturdy summit]

let's not outright discourage people from playing sorc, but let's say, that sorc has some issues with survivability in the lategame

[hoary kernel]

playing hc 🙂

[safe grail]

Welcome to the corner of why sorc needs some love;

-Sorc has survivability issues later on
-Sorc has objectively worse passives than RM, including the mastery passives
-Builds on sorc are just straight better on RM

oof

[hoary kernel]

quite a challenge ig

[safe grail]

yeah

[sturdy summit]

good luck!

[hoary kernel]

ill make it work

[safe grail]

you could try that mana stacking sorc build on HC

that build kinda cranks for survivability.

[sturdy summit]

yeah, you can make it work

[hoary kernel]

just max out the flame ward and spam that

[sturdy summit]

check out lightning aegis, and what tools you have to access that buff, 25% less damage is huge.

[safe grail]

think sorc can proc it the same way.

[sturdy summit]

static?

or lb?

[safe grail]

ye

and static orb too i guess

[hoary kernel]

lightning aegis?

[sturdy summit]

it's a buff. there's no lightning aegis skill, but it's a buff you can get by speccing certain skills (static orb, lightning blast) or with idols (chance to get the buff when hit). It's a big survivability tool, and does other stuff too

[hollow rover]

okay can confirm it does actually work it is just very hard to notice when running maps but is clearly visible and working when you got to the multiple dummies

[sturdy summit]

do you have a crest of unity lying around? put one on for kicks and watch your eyes bleed when that cascade triggers.

[hoary kernel]

thx ill look into it, it also gives like 50% lightning dmg

[sturdy summit]

yeah, it's great. but especially on hc, you'll want it for the damage reduction.

[hoary kernel]

right now ill stay with fire tho cuz I got the unique calimity helmet

gives 80% fire dmg 136% ignite chance

makes my fire spells go boom

[sturdy summit]

I would hate to play this game hardcore, because damage is a cliff. Everything is easy until you get oneshot.

[hoary kernel]

nah thats fun

gotta look into stuff to prevent that

[hollow rover]

i equipped itt and it had no effect on the cascade itself just made the nova tri ele

[sturdy summit]

you mean the cascade was still only cold?

I recall the entire cascade going trielemental

[hoary kernel]

rn when I get stunned I gain a flaim ward automattivly and when I get below 30% hp I get lots of ward so its easy not to get onetapped

[sturdy summit]

oh yeah, that's a really good node

[hollow rover]

yes but maybe because i only specced ino cold on the tree the nova itself was tri ele but the cascade still just cold

[sturdy summit]

nah, I'm also frost-nova only.

[sharp sedge]

Looking to select a mastery for Mage. Which is more fun with less overall management between spellblade and runemaster?

[sturdy summit]

runemaster doesn't have to have management

[hollow rover]

hmm yeah its only showing me cold cascade but tri nova's lol

[safe grail]

spellblade has way more to manage

sorry didnt wanna die in a boss fight

[neon lynx]

You have to manage to make the class not bad when u play spellblade

A tall task

[sturdy summit]

🤣

[safe grail]

this was a v based comment lmfao

[sharp sedge]

Alright. Thanks all

[neon lynx]

Not inaccurate tho

[safe grail]

100% hard agree. it's not inaccurate. i have seen 2 spellblade builds come out to the like.... 10 rm builds

5:1 ratio aint good odds lmao

well, i guess it depends on what side of the coin you're sitting

[teal oasis]

2.5:0.5

[safe grail]

nerd

[teal oasis]

1.75:0.25

I can’t care less to go farther

[safe grail]

lmao fair

[neon lynx]

And those 2 spell blade builds would rank among the bottom part of the 10 rm builds

[crimson valve]

nah nah nah. that's 1.25:0.25 bruv

[neon lynx]

[crimson valve]

cmon now

[teal oasis]

Shhhhhh

[sturdy summit]

I want to think of it like, people can make spellblade work because those people are good, not because spellblade is helping them

[crimson valve]

❤️ ❤️

[teal oasis]

I was thinking of 3.5

[safe grail]

correct. tbf the frostbite build that was linked earlier was a rehash from an older patch anyway

good rehash, but rehash nevertheless.

[crimson valve]

u in the future bro

[teal oasis]

[somber vessel]

why are people playing spark FC instaed of cold FC, i tried both and cold is dealing way more damage

[weary perch]

Am I doing something wrong or does Flame Rush just not work in almost all of Emperor of Corpses' boss area?

[sturdy summit]

did you try it with the exact same items as they used?

[somber vessel]

i mean i put all uniques besides that unique ring that is very rare

[sturdy summit]

how many LP?

[somber vessel]

1

[sturdy summit]

you should consider that perhaps those builds don't work if you don't have better items

[somber vessel]

i see, im doing 1.1M a tick with cold FC

[sturdy summit]

I think what makes the spark charge builds so valued is because of how well they can scale when you get really good items on them.

[spring violet]

Hello o/ What does freeze rate multiplier do?

[shell fern]

before 1.0 the boss could be moved around by just walking into him so idk if they did something to terrain or to just enemy collision but after 1.0 our characters get pushed around instead and sometimes movement skills don't work because of those collisions, report it as a bug

[sturdy summit]

makes it easier to freeze enemies

[ruby bluff]

I've got a hot youtuber tip, if you want to force interaction on your video just don't spec static orb because even though you explain as to why to you don't need to spec more people will still flood you with the same damned question

[weary perch]

I thought that might be it, the ability still activates but it semes to be coliding with empty air immediately so it doesn't move anywhere

[sturdy summit]

🤣

I gotta admit, I also got trapped by that

[weary perch]

Makes dashing through frost wall a pain

[shell fern]

yeah, noticed the same, they still need to figure out enemy collision and movement skill collision with terrain etc. many discrepancies all around.

[ruby bluff]

got 'm

[weary perch]

Still love zipping around, but it seems to be very iffy about coliding with terrain.

[sturdy summit]

the chance to freeze an enemy is spell's Freeze Rate divided by the enemy's HP. A freeze rate multiplier increases that freeze rate.

[ruby bluff]

There is another guy who has some really sick tech for the belt that I totally missed, guy called bootynoodles.
He is using a very nice slammed heart of the jungle, a massive potion belt. which with the ladle is just a massive mana font lol

[spring violet]

Thanks Philipov. Also, another question. Is the minion health perk relevant to all classes? Or just necromancers cause they have minions.

I am an ice mage so I don't think it does anything for me

[sturdy summit]

4 classes have minions, but not all of them care about those minions' health. Mage is the one class that has no minion build.

[spring violet]

Gotcha, thanks!

[hollow rover]

hmm i just read the wording on flame wards dmage buff and its increased not more im wondering if i should spec flame rush again for its frenzy buff as im spamming that to get around the map whereas i only ever cast flame ward for bosses or elites/super dense packs

[sturdy summit]

you wouldn't be the first person to come to this conclusion.

[hollow rover]

i mean the build guild says spec flame rush but i got lulled by that 250% damage xD

[strange karma]

they have teleport mirror image minions.. but they dont do anything =/

[sturdy summit]

there's no mirror image build though.

[strange karma]

it would be if they did something instead of just taunting

anyway, i still agree with you

[sturdy summit]

I hope they at least have a good taunt animation

[ruby bluff]

speccing flame rush is overated

I will die on this hill

[sturdy summit]

maybe I should give flame rush another try. I really can't give up my unspecced teleport.

[hollow rover]

well thats the conclusion i came to until i realised incresed damage dont really help me much if i was more damage sure thats big but incresed is eh

[ruby bluff]

teleport in this game feels so weirdly jarring

to me *

[sturdy summit]

it's the opposite for me, flame rush feels really clunky to me. Teleport skips past terrain barriers and is perfect for dodging mechanics

only problem is it doesn't provide an F rune

[hollow rover]

flame rush is super clunky sometimes i will hold cast and it will just cast on the spot other times terrain is a real issue

[teal oasis]

I meeeeaaannn

There is a minion

[ruby bluff]

ohw yeah flame rush bugs out all the time too lol

[teal oasis]

[wet patio]

yea flame rush could use some polishing

[sturdy summit]

Hi! would you like to tell us about your minions? They're a mystery to everyone!

[hollow rover]

a lot of the traversal skill could use polishing xD

[teal oasis]

The taunting minion mode

They’re trash, but still a minion technically

And technically all classes have minions anyway if you use the beekeeper uniques

Bee go brr

[ruby bluff]

I don't think a genuine bee build has been really good for a hot min now :p

prob still better than melee shaman >.>

[hollow rover]

ngl i really want to make a bee build work lol

[teal oasis]

[sturdy summit]

everyone knows resto shaman is better than enhancement

I mean, what game was this again

[ruby bluff]

I mean you prob can make a bee build happen as a beast master or druid I suppose

[wet patio]

LOL

[stable crow]

Algun latino aqui?

[teal oasis]

Bee master*

[ruby bluff]

time for them to make a unique that boosts bees and makes every shrine a bee shrine

[hollow rover]

interesting i spawned into an echo that reveals more of the web and the beacon was where i spawned lmao

[hollow rover]

there are a couple bee uniques iirc and the idol ofc

[grand karma]

so i had someone boost me and then take me to the end of time to unlock my mastery, but even though i have the levels and "completed" the quest i still cannot upgrade my passive tree?

[sturdy summit]

do you have 20 points in your class's default tree?

[grand karma]

yes

[hollow rover]

hrm interesting ive never known anyone to run into that issue

the only hing i can think of is some quest being a trigger and perhaps that quest was not completed and im referingto a quest before the one you stated that yo did

however knowing what that quest would be is a mystery to me

[sturdy summit]

yeah, probably bugged it by skipping too far

[hollow rover]

damn you formosus where are my shackles

[hard egret]

Anyone have a video/stream of someone leveling a runemaster? I would love to watch it

[delicate estuary]

Has anyone tested "Closed Circuit"? The Lightning Blast node that's supposed to allow it to chain off yourself. Doesn't seem like it's working at the training dummy

[rocky gale]

So i am playing spar charge runemaster and my dps for clearing to bosses is good but boss damage is low, is this build just generally not good for bosses? Also, besides plasma orb what is the better end of builds for runemaster?

[wicked axle]

I am not streaming, I am new levelling a rune master if you want to play sometime

[warm ocean]

Anyoen else finding FOCUS doesnt always regen your mana? Like it just pauses it

so weird

[safe grail]

t7 mana strike/t4 int/t4 armor on an arcane regalia base. that's an item

[next lance]

I assume people pick it for either brand debuff for more damage or they need a movement ability with specific element for a node in runic invocation

[thick rover]

Seems like everybody is going frost claw rm

[next lance]

It's all a variation of spark or plasma balls

And there is ice frost claw + elemental novas/ice barrage

[thick rover]

Yeah I saw

[stiff crown]

I'm using the Mana Strike variation for RM. Seems okay. Bossing a little slower it seems, but I don't know how other classes are doing at high corruption

[thick rover]

Read the tool tip. you need to channel for a full second

[warm ocean]

no, thats not it. Ill channel for an hour and it will not increase my mana

doesnt happen every time, but every now and then it is just stuck

[stiff cradle]

So i am using the modifier for runebolt that changes the cold cast to fire so I can easilly get off my plasma orbs. Only problem is the game seems to miss inputs sometime (either i invoke with 2 runes or it delays my invoke and i invoke the wrong spell) and I end up messing up my rotation, also getting stunned completely breaks my cycle as well, all in all it makes my runemaster feel terrible and clunky. When the class works its feels great but any interuption is just terrible. Anyone have a solution or work around?

[soft jetty]

if I purchased gear on Merchants guild character for another build, can that other character use that gear as long as it goes merchants guild too?

[warm ocean]

thats hwo i feel with my issue around the spell FOCUS, if it works its great, kit is great, when it fails, im just sitting there with no mana, running around like a common beta mudblood lol

[tough mist]

does anyone have a good frostclaw runemaster build i can follow for minmaxing

[worn dagger]

I'm playing a full fire runemaster (fireball, flame rush, frost wall (fire) and Rah Rah Rah), I'm 80 at the moment finishing my lv90 monolith, I don't think my gear is great nor my build but I'm one shotting everything and I have always at least 50% ward. Is it normal? Or am I accidentally strong?

[inner burrow]

it's normal

going into empowered monos, where you'll feel like you're lacking is going to be your defenses

but I would say full fire is quite reasonable for awhile, so enjoy the build if you're having fun. I quite enjoyed the massive explosions when I tried it

[worn dagger]

Ok cool ty for your answer. Yes fire is super fun, and I love the synergy between flame rush and frost(fire) wall, it feels like playing soccer

[quick loom]

Yes

[static flax]

shatterstrike mages feel so weak t_t

[stoic bronze]

I've been noticing the same but my build kinda sucks rn just farming some of the uniques

Feels very gear dependent

[jaunty widget]

Is it a good pick plasma orb runemaster for a beginner in last epoch and also in arpg? Or should I go other ?

[compact cloak]

It takes a bit of gear to get rolling and has a bit of a piano playstyle imo.

[polar juniper]

ugh i'm almost lvl 99 and still haven't found a twisted heart -_-. def going merchant next time. doing the dragon line over and over is getting to me lol

[hallow hedge]

following a build, can anyone tell me how you can get +6 skill for Frostclaw on this build planner? am I just missing something super obvious?

oh duh, i see it now- it's an added affix for the legendary 😄 thank you!

[turbid dome]

For the spell blade, is there one damage type that I should focus on that's better or more advantageous than the other types

[vivid torrent]

If you go for shatter strike it's going to be cold. There is also lightning builds, or fire aura builds that can go into any of the 3 elements

[fluid crater]

looking for suggestions as to a decent mage build that i can start using fairly quick and level with ?

[verbal zenith]

I love my shatterstrike mage ngl

[verbal zenith]

Ice is best. Very easy frost + frozen + iceburn stacks

[dense prairie]

how does htis math work out, the unique sceptre Firestarter's torch says -4 mana cost for fire spells

but it only takes -1 off of some spells and takes nothing off of some

and the ones it doesn't reduce mana cost for are the ones with little-to-no built in "cooldown recovery" perks

Flame Rush for example, I have 2/3 of the cooldown recovery perk which is only 6% recovery, virtually nothing, and firestarter's torch doesn't reduce the mana cost of this spell at all, not even -1 let alone -4, is it bugged?

oh wait, I forgot that I'm losing -3 from my wand so it should be -1 at least

but it's not even -1 for some....weird

I assumed initially it was a calculation thing with cooldown recovery, but the spells with no CDR seem to be least affected 🤔

[foggy shell]

Omg just got this game about 24hrs ago.
Runemaster is so fun, im not sure ill be able to play another class now!
Trying to work out whats the best combos is half the fun of this class

[polar juniper]

i don't think anyone cares but i finally got it, 2lp 😄

[dense prairie]

congrats

[winter crow]

wow nice

thats a rare drop

[polar juniper]

❤️ ty

[glossy quarry]

my man

FPS insanely drop

with the insane ele frost claw nova build

[heady badge]

anyone found a fix to the insane fps drops on ice shatterstrike?

[glossy quarry]

I dont know what else to lower

[icy umbra]

have you turned off flashing enemies

[teal juniper]

I dont know if this is asking for too much. Are there any caster builds like this?

1. a caster that is very mobile (even better if they can cast while moving)

2. great damage/speed & boss clearing (of course)

3. relatively simple button mechanics. I dont like complicated building up stacks or waiting for procs. I just just blowing stuff up ?

[glossy quarry]

frostbite frost claw, ele nova frost claw, dr3ad one button static charge build

Ah hmmm, frostbite frost claw is building up stacks but they build up so fast

[teal juniper]

is that all one build?

[glossy quarry]

different builds

[teal juniper]

I dont mind stack building if its something that just kidna happens, you dont have to micromanage it

[glossy quarry]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBF5XHRP7zY&ab_channel=WolfsGoRawr

do you want to do this?

[teal juniper]

wow that looks cool as hell

oh man hahaha

[glossy quarry]

you can only play it during daylight

as at night it will destroy your eyes

[teal juniper]

lol

[glossy quarry]

Yeah I am playing that right now

deletes all

[teal juniper]

It lokos like a blast

literally

so it uses flame rush, not teleport. is teleport a 'better' movement skill?

[glossy quarry]

bro only needs to cast once, if RNG blesses 4 explosions occur once

an enemy gets exploded on every angle possible

[glossy quarry]

eh it depends on preference, but the issue here is that he needs it as runic invocation counts flame rush as a fire spell for the order of his runic invocation skill

if he was to get teleport, he would not get the runic invocation he wants

which is Cold-fire-cold

gives 30% damage reduction shield

[teal juniper]

good point

[hollow rover]

i finally got my Frostbite Shackles no LP tho 😦

[teal juniper]

so is it annoying to have to manage the spell order for runic invocation? That's one thing that worries me about runemaster

[glossy quarry]

666% ward retention do

[glossy quarry]

yes and no

you may "manually" do it

but there is a node in Runic invocation that allows the rune to be in order of left to right

[hollow rover]

HAHAHA not quite sitting at 492% atm but only have 98% cold res rn

[glossy quarry]

so if u have 3 spells in left to right of fire lightning and cold, it will give that combo

so you won't worry

[keen bough]

Yo if I am not a runemaster is Transcendence really worth the 6 points ?

[teal juniper]

oh neat

[glossy quarry]

if your sorcerer benefits from cast speed and some int and ward per cast then maybe

[hollow rover]

flat health is always nice and if you need int anyway the extra ward per sec is nice

[glossy quarry]

24 ward per second

but you will have a lot of int anyways

isn't there a build around that with 700 mana?

[hollow rover]

wait i just noticed something with transcendence it states ward over time tripled with 60 int the base ward is 12 per sec and 24 with 60 int 24 is double not triple

[keen bough]

12+24=36 12*3=36 😛

[hollow rover]

oh its including the base 12 within the calculation

still worded poorly imo

[keen bough]

Yeah its worded weird for sure

[winter crow]

is ward per second actually good with high retention?

I havent tested it

like how effective it is vs other types of ward gen

[hollow rover]

well considering i have a single piece of gear that has 18 ward per sec at 492% retention thats gives me 529 base ward that wont decay id say its pretty decent 🙂

[winter crow]

hmm ok

im about to do some cooking

[hollow rover]

ward per sec with high retention is surprisingly strong providing the retention is high aenough and you get a deventt amount of ward per sec

[winter crow]

its going to be expensive but at this point, im minmaxing so worth it

give me a min to do julra and ill post it

[hollow rover]

if i had a little more ward per sec id probs be sitting at like 2k base ward that perma

[winter crow]

thats good for like when you enter high corr or high arena level

cuz you dont have big ward at the start

[hollow rover]

yeaah 2k dont sound great but when its always there it makes a difference lol

[winter crow]

I have been oneshotted in 1.6k corr by the pillars cuz no ward at beginning xd

2k with my armor and resistances its alot

[hollow rover]

as far as i know the higher your retention the greater the benifit from wps

[winter crow]

feels good to do 0 risk slams cuz 4lp xD

give me a sec and ill post it

[hollow rover]

also a little ward decay threshold can help i have +65 on my bel without the belt the ward is 440 perma with it 530

[waxen sigil]

Not really

[winter crow]

https://gyazo.com/8fc43217bcc991d49375214173b1a7a7 replaced my erased gloves with this, first of all, I KNOW fireball is thrash, but this are relatively cheap 4lp gloves (15-20m ish price) and on top of the 4 stats, they give light dmg and ward retention which are free stats to minmax endgame lol

once I get like 150m to buy proper unique 4lp gloves ill replace

[hollow rover]

i litteraly have 18 wps with 492% retention and that alone give me a perma 530 ward with more wps it can be pretty good

[winter crow]

and if they ever buff fireball to a point where its good, I have them already specced lol

[waxen sigil]

Fireball is good guys

[winter crow]

I havent seen a good fireball build in high corr

rn spark charge fc is the king

[waxen sigil]

Idk what high is anymore after the change

[winter crow]

I consider high anything more than 1.5k-2k

[waxen sigil]

What was high in beta?

[winter crow]

idk, I didnt play beta

[waxen sigil]

Thought it all got number crunched so that 2k beta would be like 700 now or something

[hollow rover]

is that 21 wps all you have atm @winter crow if so how much base ward did it give at what % retention

[waxen sigil]

You can use tunklabs ward calc to model anything w ward

[hollow rover]

i probably could if maths was not my worst subject >.<

[waxen sigil]

You just have to put in the WPS and Rention n it will graph it

[winter crow]

no, I also have 15 ward per sec from belt

[hollow rover]

ah gotcha idk how much wps or retention he has to work it out lol

[winter crow]

I have 624 ward with 685% retention

with like 36 wps

[hollow rover]

so 36 wps with almost 700% retention give 624 base see if you could somehow squeeze in like 100 or 200 wps that should be much higher

[waxen sigil]

In my opinion you guys should not be focusing on WPS and instead try to get ward sources that scale w # of events

That are scalable themselves

[hollow rover]

not entirely sure how much higher but having some base that wont go away is always nice

[winter crow]

yeah, thats why I have low wps, what I have its a bonus

from unique gear

[waxen sigil]

Yeah awesome

[hollow rover]

oh i scale my ward through casts so cast speed will scale my ward but having that little bit of perma base ward is also nice

[waxen sigil]

Okay glad you guys get it

[winter crow]

yeah ward gets super high anyways

its just nice to have a bit for when you enter a map

[hollow rover]

yeah we are not using it as our main source of ward just as a buffer 😛

[winter crow]

https://gyazo.com/81f2c70326461241bb4e5795b3ebc46e cuz on bosses ward is ridicoulous anyways

its prob getting nerfed

[waxen sigil]

Totally the most op, abusable and bugged system in the game

[winter crow]

yeah

did you abuse ward for your arena record ogre?

[waxen sigil]

Yah

[hollow rover]

XD at least you are honest

[hollow totem]

that's 2 in a row I got no drops from fire lich? Is my game bugged or something?

[waxen sigil]

Only way to compete w the lich was to do it, and also I would’ve played my sorc above 1080 legit but my game kept crashing on it bc it was fireball

And they generate too many entities that have to be tracked and calculated

[winter crow]

oh ye, I crashed on my only arena run, it takes too dam long so im not doing it again

fc nova also causes crash with high cast speed

[waxen sigil]

lol yah man I feel that

[winter crow]

managed to still get top 2 mage with that xd so im not touching that again lol

[hollow rover]

even on a 3080-4080 ?

[waxen sigil]

I spent a lot of time figuring this game out, too much

I’ve had 2300 % increased cast speed before

[winter crow]

wtf

[waxen sigil]

Game disintegrates in seconds

[winter crow]

yeah, its not graphic card problem, more like game servers

cuz its not laggy

it just crashes

[hollow rover]

i need tto stack cast speed so wanna know where i should limit myself

[waxen sigil]

Under 300% is fine

[hollow rover]

cool nowhere near that yet drops hate me

[waxen sigil]

Starts acting really weird at 500, sprites don’t get animated and stuff

[hollow rover]

damn lower tthan i thought actually sitting at 43% not good lol

[waxen sigil]

You can’t really get above 300% anyway realistically

[winter crow]

what happens to me is that fc doesnt explode so it keeps stacking

[hollow rover]

finding the bases i need with cast speed and other stats i need has been rough

[winter crow]

and when I cast the anmation doesnt appear

but the dmg does

[waxen sigil]

Eh, the bases don’t really matter too much they’re all gonna be going on uniques anyway

[winter crow]

yeah

lp uniques is the endgame

[winter crow]

What build are you running?

[hollow rover]

no my build uses 3 uniques only

[hollow rover]

frostclaw but it cast nova and ice barrage for nutty frostbite stacks

[waxen sigil]

Yeah, if you cast too fast the server actually gets lagged with the information being sent and it can give you input latency

[hollow rover]

yeah that would make a lot of sense actually

[waxen sigil]

This is what happened to my FB, casting gave me lag and I couldn’t react to things with 1s + delay

[winter crow]

yeah, thats my problem with arena

[hollow rover]

i believe it can happen in other arpgs such as PoE idk if D4 lets you get that crazy with stats tho

[waxen sigil]

Totally bro it’s such a bad game system, arena

[winter crow]

like the main reason ppl tell me they dont do it its cause it takes too long

[hollow rover]

i avoid arena for that exact reason lol

[waxen sigil]

My game crashed on wave 2980

[hollow rover]

does it still count the wave on LB if you crash ?

[waxen sigil]

On what

[hollow rover]

leaderboard

[waxen sigil]

Yah

[hollow rover]

well thats relieving i guess but still annoying when you know you could push further

[waxen sigil]

I’m curious to see where it’s at now

Oh I could’ve went forever

[hollow rover]

and hen have to spend hours getting to that point again only to risk crashing once more

[waxen sigil]

Just didn’t want to and it’s unhealthy

[hollow rover]

if i got that high and it crashed on me i dont hink i would have the patience to go again lol

oh yeah i dont blame you not worth risking your mental over lol

or giving yourself carpel tunnel or w.e is called lol

hrm if a echo modifer is enemies have 200% increased crit chance does that counter my 100% cri avoid ?

i presume no but because its 100% over my crit avoid im not sure how the game calculates that

[waxen sigil]

No

[hollow rover]

i thought as much but wanted to be sure so that i didnt throw myself in a sticky situation lol

[waxen sigil]

Enemies have 5 % base chance, if they have 200% increase of that 5% then they have 5 x (1 + %) so 15% . Even if they had one trillion % increased crit chance, you multiplied it by 0 with your avoidance cap

[hollow rover]

good too know just wasnt aware crit is calculated the same way for enemies as it is with players i presume then there are no modifers that give them flat crit like we can get

[waxen sigil]

Wouldn’t matter anyway

Given that you are avoiding all crits

[hollow rover]

well if they had flat and % within the same echo it would right ?

[waxen sigil]

Multiply any number by 0

[hollow rover]

oh right yes they cant crit me but im refering to in general if your not crit capped

[waxen sigil]

Yeah and I don’t know of any flat sources for enemies

[hollow rover]

can they have modifer that give both flat and % crit so that say if i had 50% avoid they couldnt rech that because with % crit at 5% base they s=will still never reach that 50% avoid

[waxen sigil]

But largely irrelevant given how easy avoidance is to get and for high end to have reduction

Umm if you had 50% avoidance and they had infinite percent chance to crit, you’d only receive critical damage 50% of the time

[hollow rover]

very true lol ideally i would like o go with the hybrid armor and reduce bonus damage taken from crits but for now crit avoid will do

[hollow rover]

but if they cannot scale flat crit surely the % increase would need to be absurd at 5% base crit for them to break that 50% avoid threshold i know all this is irrelevant tbf its just my own curiosity lol

[waxen sigil]

Maybe they can get flat, I forgot, there might be a flat modifier

[hollow rover]

ah well if they can that makes it all the more irrelevant haha

but lets say for tthis instance that they cannot

[waxen sigil]

Never mattered to me though, only avoided some mods like dodge, endurance, HP/dmg(at times) absurd increased to dmg etc

[hollow rover]

i generally tend not to bother even looking at the modifiers cus im softcore and well it really don matter lol i just happened to glance and this one and think hmm i wonder lol

[waxen sigil]

It mattered before a lot more in the beta

The modifiers had a larger magnitude than the corruption

[hollow rover]

i didnt actually play his pre 1.0

new to it since luanch

[waxen sigil]

Yah I know lol

I havent played the launch

[hollow rover]

seems like a fair amount regarding echoes may have changed since the launch then if lower corruption back then was technically higher than it is now and that the modifers where more meaningfull and you actually did need to take note of them

i hink i worded that corruption part poorly but i hink you said something about 700 back then being equivalant to 1k+ or something like that now

[compact cloak]

[fallow zealot]

how rare is 1lp uhkeiros?

[winter crow]

not rare anymore, it was expensive the first days

its low chance to get but worthless in the market cuz theres a ton of ppl farming that mono

[unborn hamlet]

As a drop, 10% to even drop, and then 16% to have 1 LP

[winter crow]

thats without corr incrase chance

so its more depending on your corr

[unborn hamlet]

I'm at 700 corruption, the chance increase barely does anything

[fallow zealot]

is it a boss drop? was wondering cuz I got one for the first time lol

and i have 200 hrs of playtime since release

[unborn hamlet]

It's a boss drop

[fallow zealot]

ahh ok lol

[unborn hamlet]

From emperor of corpses

[fallow zealot]

yeah thats where i got it just now

[unborn hamlet]

Getting 1LP first try lucky

I have 11 0LP in my stash as a reminder of the pain

[winter crow]

2lp+ is the juice

I dont even pickup the 1lps I get

cuz they are worth nothing in the market

[unborn hamlet]

Good on you, not everyone cares about gold or MG

[fallow zealot]

I was just trying to get the correct blessing from the boss lol

[winter crow]

yeah im not saying everyone should do the same, only mg players

[fallow zealot]

I dont play mage/acolyte so had no idea

[winter crow]

cof have to play on hardmode and I guess it can be more fun/rewarding to farm your own gear

ill prob play cof next cycle cuz of that

[south crest]

Oh its very fun and pretty rewarding when you get higher levels

[hollow rover]

yeah it can be satisfying when you have been farming for a drop and it finally drops for you, you dont get that on MG cus you just go buy what you want there is a sense of uhm whats the word dopamine for CoF lol

[winter crow]

Yeah, mg rn is kinda fkd for rare drops cuz they are expensive af

because of bot inflation

[hollow rover]

yeah i imagine the gold bots are ruining the economy

[spring talon]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1209443328328859648/1216992885778677868/image.png?ex=660267f2&is=65eff2f2&hm=3d0b7e462fdcc287167723d010554c54de325fb798134a65df774c00cdd6a93e&=&format=webp&quality=lossless&width=550&height=283 DO mage builds buy this? I don't get how this is expensive

[winter crow]

Im glad I bought my gear before inflation

rn without a good build to farm rare drops to sell on high corr, mg is so bad

[winter crow]

its a rare item

low supply = high price

not very used really

[spring talon]

ah I see

[fallow zealot]

This is highly sought after on lightning marksman build. Should easily make 5m+

[hollow rover]

i believe there are also some cold mage builds that use this

[winter crow]

very few ppl that play cold builds can afford it tho

cuz cold builds cant do high corr efficiently

high dmg but low ward

but for marksman it makes sense

[fallow zealot]

The lightning marksman build gears off the charts in pricing lol

Its like doubling every day

[hollow rover]

then those cold mages are being built wrong i can generate 8k ward with just 43% cast speed the faster i cast the faster i generate ward

if i was to double my cast speed i would double my ward generation

if built right on cold mage you should be siting on around 50k ward for bosses

[winter crow]

idk if cold builds scale like that, when I see a cold mage hit 50k ward ill believe it

also even with 50k ward, they dont have the 150-170% increase armor of static shell

so that ward is like half effective

compared to lightning build

[hollow rover]

oh i agree that lightning is by far supior just not to discount cold xD

[winter crow]

xD

yeah, I guess cold its prob even better to do faster bosses like pre 1200-1500 corr

and from then you switch to light

[tropic phoenix]

In the Firebrand tree, if you have both Incineration and Exothermic, does Flame Reave gain the extra chances to ignite? Both nodes "consume stacks of firebrand", Incineration consumes them all, so do they conflict?

[hollow rover]

yeah that probs sounds about right not enough defensive layer at that point with just cold mage

[hollow rover]

surely if one consumes all the stacks there is no stacks left for the other effec to consume right so common sense without even looking at the nodes would tell me that they probably dont work together

thats not a concrete answer btw just my assumption

[tropic phoenix]

It would at least matter which does the consuming first though, right?

[hollow rover]

technically yes however determinging that factor may prove troublesome lol

[indigo isle]

Are there any uniques which compliment shattering strike? I can’t find any and it feels like Spellblade uniques are really lacking and rune master got all the love in that regard

[tropic phoenix]

I agree. So weird that the fire weapon for spellblade is a two handed staff. Half a staff's innate doesn't even help. And the nodes clearly encourage duel wielding.

[indigo isle]

Exactly. What gives?

[hard egret]

anyone have a vod of someone leveling a runemaster

[charred quiver]

For the lightning frost claw nova builds like https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/Q0VjJ1Go, why do they take prismatic gaze over Unity?

Nova does no damage and crit is good

[winter crow]

Yeah, also nova dmg is from spark procs

Not nova itself

[charred quiver]

i see, ty! now i just need the rng gods to bless me with twisted heart T_T

[rancid sail]

to make fractured crown the runed visage needs 21+ total affix tiers. do sealed ones count?

[spice lily]

I’m doing 260 corruption monolith on my runemaster, and feeling a bit stuck.
What is considering as “high” corruption in monolith ?
I see some builds doing over 1000

[waxen sigil]

It sucks anyway, the fire weapon is reen’s ire, but the spell damage can give melee damage in some cases. Also “spellblade” use some spells!

[tropic phoenix]

Sure, it can. But Shatter Strike, Surge, Firebrand, and Flamereave all do not. The signature spells.
The only node I've seen that gives these spells benefit from spell damage is Reave's Arcane Severance.

[timber mortar]

Is there currently a build table for RunMaster that can reach 3000 corruption?

[tardy comet]

4LP sets RM lol

[split talon]

This is nonsense

There are like 3 runemaster uniques and one is terrible

[tropic phoenix]

Dang. Three uniques and one's bad. How terrible.

[split talon]

Compared to spellblade having a bunch of different elemental weapon uniques it can use plus the flamereave ring? Yes absolutely

[tropic phoenix]

Fair enough.

[split talon]

Also firebrand absolutely has a spell scaling comppnent

As does flame reave

Flame based spellblades who build into fire aura can also benefit from the fire set ring

[tropic phoenix]

Is Pyre really that good? To bother building spell damage in place of melee? Or to afford 4 points in Arcane Severance?

[indigo isle]

Ah cool so I have one build to spec into :^)

[split talon]

You realize that flame reave scorched earth also scales off spell damage

[indigo isle]

Amazing. Now how can I build around my classes core skill?

[tropic phoenix]

Explosion chance on kill? Hmm...

[split talon]

By getting cold damage?

You dont need uniques to have a functioning build

[indigo isle]

How exciting! cold damage!

You proved my point.

[split talon]

Not every single build in the game needs a unique to cater to you

[hollow rover]

i don think yall need to be this condescending just because you are upset with the build diversity of the class you chose

[indigo isle]

Yeah you're right I should've read every single ability description and every single build video to see if the class really has the amount of uniques I'm looking for

Because that's how you have fun playing a game innit

By reading and minmaxing crit chance to crit mult ratios

[split talon]

Also theres literally already a shatter strike unique

https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/shatter_strike/sources

[hollow rover]

your failing to see the point here its not all about uniques plenty of builds can work without them

and yes you should do some research into the class you intend to play first

[bronze shore]

tbf if you watch an build video you should understand why those item is in there

[indigo isle]

No, no you shouldn't.

[split talon]

Lmao

[hollow rover]

and this is why you are having issues getting a build going isnt it ?

[indigo isle]

It's a literal stat stick, runemasters got some interesting ones

[split talon]

You're slightly right but you also shouldn't expect that every build has a unique that perfectly fits you

[indigo isle]

My current build is perfectly fine, just extremely boring lol

[hollow rover]

because you fail to look into it and understand just how it actually works

[indigo isle]

It's the literal core skill of the class, what are you on about?

[indigo isle]

I fail to understand how my class works?

What lol

[split talon]

Every spellblade ive made has never used shatter strike

You dont need it

[indigo isle]

wtf lol

I want to use my core skill

[split talon]

Ok, you can

[indigo isle]

"I HAVE NEVER OPENED A RUNEMASTER WITH INVOCATIONS so you don't need to use it"

what.

What kind of arguement is that.
