YYou can trick the hell out of Lightning blast and make it hit entire screens and make it 0 mana cost.,

Then what about branded deception procing from using a lightning skill...wondering if it will proc when you take a lightning skill, but convert it to fire within the tree..if that still counts.

in planning your build, I don't want to discourage you from doing offmeta stuff, but here's the thing to plan for: How are you going to get your damage while still being able to stay alive. Don't only think about the damage. You have to stay alive. Find a way to do that: ward generation/retention, and layers of Less Damage Taken, that's what you need to figure out how to make work with your chosen damage source.

the thing you see there assumes you understand how +skill affixes work already
and it doesn't show the gear with the things you need
crimson raft
Really ?!
Maxroll isn't bad, but they are very...hmm...when they say you need lv70 chars to start a build and use their leveling guide before that, they mean it.
rugged slate
Damn i should not have followed the leveling guide...
i must restart a character now ...
crimson raft
What? I'm not getting what the problem is....
sturdy summit
when I say maxroll is bad, I mean to say they're inconsistent and hard to understand sometimes if you don't already know what you're doing.
rugged slate
Oh i thought i could not
Like, i heard it took AGES to relevel up spells
and that it was easier to start the build from the start
i'm sorry
rugged slate
this isn't poe
Ye am coming from there haha
crimson raft
I get what those people may be saying, and depending on when you respec, if you also respec your main dps skill it can feel a bit "meh" damage wise, if you do this too early. But it's usually just a bit annoying.
rugged slate
can i respell at early monolith ?

Ok, this runemaster mastery is really fun and interesting. The rune thingies is an awesome concept.

it's not bad to reskill, and it gets easier the higher level you get, and the higher corruption you get, because it's based on xp gain
sturdy summit
and that it was easier to start the build from the start
the only thing you're locked into is your subclass, but it sounds like you picked the right subclass
otherwise, you should play like you're expected to completely change your build as you progress

is there a point in which there are diminishing returns on higher corruption?

The diminishing return on corruption is self-inflicted based on how fast you can clear the content.

Clearing 2x 800 echos is better than 1x 1000 in the same time etc.

The modifiers increase the same with no reduction or diminishing return

imo reduce damage from crits is one of the best stats (defensive wise) in the game as it gives flat armor on top
and armour is taken into account when it come too ward as far as i am aware at least
mighty bolt
Most times you'll die, it's by taking overwhelming damage you can't react to or counter. Those tends to be crit more than normal attacks, so crit avoidance is one of the best defensive tool you can have, even beyond Endurance / Endurance treshold IMO
hollow rover
Most times you'll die, it's by taking overwhelming damage you can't react to or ...
your right in that most times you die is being overwhelmed and the majority of those time being crit however reduce bonus damage taken from crits and crit avoidance are the same thing and reduce damage taken also gives flat armour so it is just subjectively better as your armour value is also applied to damage done to ward

if you think that having 40% dr plus 30k ward is balanced not sure what to tell you
you can literally tank everything up to like 2k corruption with that
which is basically impossible with life
hollow rover
if you think that having 40% dr plus 30k ward is balanced not sure what to tell ...
when have a said it is balanced ? i am agreeing that it is not lol
sacred ruin
it's also not good to have builds that completely ignore all mechanics all the way to 1500 corruption
which is basically what int stacking ward builds do
keen pivot
Because with ward only, you can progress with only tanking the dmg.
Nothing can be done except with massing your ward
Soo i think ward is needed to be on the same lv as the other mechanic
sacred ruin
ward will be problematic until they separate the int stacking nonsense

sacred ruin
i am agreeing that change needs to happen what i am disagreeing with is that eve...
Life / Endurance are viable options, it's just that ward specifically makes life look like a joke
it's so strong it invalidates using life
ESPECIALLY on Runemaster
this isn't like we haven't had time to explore other alternatives
ward has been stronger then life since like.... .7 or something stupid
hollow rover
it's so strong it invalidates using life
yes and i still think you are missing the point that i agree with you on this xD and yes something does need to be done but it should be done in a more balnced way than just nerfing ward into the ground
sacred ruin
stop being a PoE andie
EHG isn't GGG
There are no nerfs until people stop playing the build kind of stuff
that doesn't happen here
jade granite
and thats why shaman is not that good, he can't really make best use of int stacking for ward. and ward is op
hollow rover
wdym PoE andy lol i dont even play the game bro im just trying to make the game i do ejoy playing better by not having thing nerfed to oblivion and have it all be in a somewhat balanced state
sacred ruin
Why are you afraid that ward will be nerfed into oblivion?
It's clearly way out of line
Like to the point where you just ignore t4 julra mechanics
and I'm not even talking about on good gear
twilit vine
it isn't a nerf if it's balanced ;0
hollow rover
yes and in order to fix that the nerf will need to be big no ?
sacred ruin
yeah because I shouldn't be able to tank t4 julra blasts on subpar gear
which is what ward allows me to do
it would be one thing if I'm wearing like double 4 lp red rings and literal loltier gear, but people are able to tank t4 julra with relatively obtainable gear that you can do in one afternoon
and that's without bug abusing
hollow rover
right and not once have i disagreed that that is not good lol your clinging to straws that aint even there
sacred ruin
no you just are whining that your toy might get taken away
"oh no, ward might get nerfed, I might actually have to do mechanics"
hollow rover
bro i don't even use a stupid high ward build 🤣
sacred ruin
Then why are you whining about ward probably getting tuned down?
Because it has to get tuned down.
Otherwise it completely invalidates any other defensive option
like completely
hollow rover
whining ? i am agreeing ffs lol
sacred ruin
That's exactly my point, you shouldn't be able to do that without crazy gear.
And yet ward lets you do that
bronze shore
3 layer of DR and the insta skill deal 20k dmg jesus
sacred ruin
and I guauruntee your gear isn't what I would call crazy
twilit vine
Prophet so blind they can't see when someone agrees with them D:
sacred ruin
He says "I agree" then turns around and says "but please don't nerf too much"
which is code for "please don't nerf too much because I play this build" 99.9% of the time
hollow rover
Prophet so blind they can't see when someone agrees with them D:
like he is fighting an argument that dont even exist lmao
sacred ruin
He's talking about ward
hollow rover
which is code for "please don't nerf too much because I play this build" 99.9% o...
no all im saying is i would like all of the defensive layer to be in a balanced state dude your putting words into my mounth
sacred ruin
and how he doesn't want it to get nerfed into the ground
bronze shore
warlock ward or runemaster regen ward?
bronze shore
i dont think they will nerf ward
sacred ruin
ward isn't
twilit vine
nerf elemental leech before ward lmao
bronze shore
ward is main defense of mage and acolyte
hollow rover
life / endurance is in a relatively balanced state
in comparision to ward right now it is not ffs why cant you graps tthe point dude
sacred ruin
life/endurance is fine because you actually have to do mechanics
bronze shore
nerfing ward just because other class abuse ward is insane
sacred ruin
unless you have crazy damage / defensive layers
which is perfectly acceptable
I can have absolutely terrible gear and face tank 99.9% of the game in ward gear
keen pivot
I do agree that ward is way out of line.
Maybe u cant achieve the same number with ward, when u dont
bronze shore
one idea is to make ward fall of faster
sacred ruin
if they just made it so you couldn't get 20k ward + 30% dr it would be fine
bronze shore
and nerf the shackles a biit
hollow rover
yes make int give 2% retention instead of 4% or something like that
because it is mostly retention that allows it to get as high
bronze shore
if they just made it so you couldn't get 20k ward + 30% dr it would be fine
tbf that our only DR
beastmaster have some DR in his passive
sacred ruin
you get 30% dr + another 10% from red ring, along with mass armor from using static shell
bronze shore
those are additive?
keen pivot
I hit a wall, and then try the ward build you can face tank the boss omg
Difference between life and ward is too high
hollow rover
i love how ward is too strong but nobody is caring about the insane regen pallys get from HH lol
sacred ruin
hh is confirmed to be bugged
hollow rover
sure ward is too much but so is that
sacred ruin
except HH is literally a ward build?
because healing effectiveness scales up ward gain when it shouldn't?
hollow rover
depends how you use it
sacred ruin
if it wan'st a ward build it would be fine
hollow rover
i kow the ward portion of it is strong but i also though the generic regen if you dont take the ward was also pretty damn strong
sacred ruin
it's not really anymore stronger then any other build that has leech/regen
it's just out of wack because scales your damage and survivability currently
hollow rover
with enough healing effectiveness that is
sacred ruin
and the ward regen is too much because heal effectiveness is scaling at 100% when it shouldn't
sacred ruin
take the ward away and it would be fine, which would be acceptable considering Sentinel's have been one of the worst overall classes in the game for sometime
hollow rover
agreed i just would like balance across the board and i understand thats hard to achieve and that things will take a hit in the process
hollow rover
with 100% uptime too
although surely other classes have a way to also get DR maybe not as high though
and not as easily obtainable or upkeepable
keen pivot
Anyone building fire sorc?

yea, i agree with you there. I have my cooldown down to a point where im auto casting frostguard every 5 seconds

mines not quite 5s lol but it is 100% uptime regardless
wet patio

cof if you like chasing loot. mg if you wanna farm gold and just buy loot
keen pivot
Any data about what % of each faction?
hollow rover
8.3s CD with a 12s duration i believe

If I wanted a build that can do a lot like push curroption, bossing but also can farm decently which runemaster build should I go

Btw you can change it anytime you want

probs the crazy lightning frostclaw build thats goin around atm
keen pivot
By the end, u will be pushing both faction i guess
hollow rover
probs the crazy lightning frostclaw build thats goin around atm
has good AoE clear is fast and single target boss dps is also good
brittle elbow
Where can I find the build ?
hollow rover
theres also the frostbite frostclaw which i am doing however i believe that does not scale as well as the lightning version
hollow rover
Where can I find the build ?
either maxroll or LE Tools you can check the pinned comments for links to both
brittle elbow
Ok
hollow rover
Ok
if you would like to see the build in action you can always look on youtube and if you like what you see 9/10 times there is a link to the build planner in the description
tender night
does is matter THAT MUCH if we're not running the META build right now?
neon lynx
DOES IT EVER MATTER
hollow rover
does is matter THAT MUCH if we're not running the META build right now?
ofc not run what you find the most fun and appealing
tender night
having fun leveling this Frostclaw Elemental Nova build. I know it's not the best though
hollow rover
thats why im going with frostbite version over the spark charge version of frostclaw
tender night
love to hear it
brittle elbow
Yeah Il check it
jade granite
does is matter THAT MUCH if we're not running the META build right now?
it might if you're on MG
probably making a lot more gold on a OP build
brittle elbow
Do I go cof or mg i have cof high level already and am thinking of using a character to level mg up
brittle elbow
Really?
keen pivot
I swapped to MG for easier gearing
Because my logic is telling me, to let other people grind the loot that youre needed that they dont need.
And then buy them with kinda gold that you grind for leveling the faction
And even better when people alr exploiting til they got way more higher on corruption
Thats my 2cent as a new player
hollow rover
logically speaking that makes a lot of sense xD
keen pivot
Yeah, why 10 times roll the dice for 0.001%
When you can buy the items, that 100k people rolling the dice 0.0001%
hollow rover
i went CoF this cycle but think i might try out MG for next cycle want to stick to just one for now rather than mix an match
keen pivot
Yeah! Im doing the mix n match currently
By finding whats the best gear for my absurd build sorc
red brook
Thing is mg is not good for new players… playing the market requires game knowledge to do well imo
hollow rover
Thing is mg is not good for new players… playing the market requires game knowle...
as with any game that has a market lol but yes i do agree knowing what to look out for and knowingg when an item is a steal or just too much is a BIG part of it
brittle elbow
Umm we need to level up the factions again next cycle right
hollow rover
Umm we need to level up the factions again next cycle right
yes
keen pivot
Yes ofc! I do believe each cycle starts with 0
But im wondering how long for each cycle? 3 months?
brittle elbow
Umm ok so maybe i will try to stick with cof for now
hollow rover
i think 3 months yeah
brittle elbow
But maybe Il have a character reach mg rank 7 to have easy acsses to exalted gear to slam into my legendary drops
hollow rover
yeah you cn always do both the faction is independant to the character so you can have multiple in each
bronze shore
jesus T7 int mage is 7m?
keen pivot
jesus T7 int mage is 7m?
Which equipment is it?
idle shard
my gear is already almost exclusively COF tagged so it’s unfeasible to switch
hollow rover
my gear is already almost exclusively COF tagged so it’s unfeasible to switch
yes thats why it tends to be easier to have another character within that faction rather than switching on your main
keen pivot
Do higher corruptions gave more reputation?
bronze shore
more exp more rep
hollow rover
Do higher corruptions gave more reputation?
exp towards faction do come from kills and higher corruption yeilds more exp per kill so the answer is yes
winter crow
yeah if you want fast rep just push corr
you will get rank 10 around 1-1.2k corr
less if you push multiple monos
thats only hardpushing 1
grim briar
whats the best RM innvocation combo?
hollow rover
gotta love it when you spawn into an echo an the objective is directly where you spawn lmao
hollow rover
whats the best RM innvocation combo?
also thats kinda subjective to an individual and there playstyle also subjective on if you wantt an offensive or defensive invocation however i have only tried 2 of the invocations myself so cant give an opinion of what the best is but im pretty sure defensively nothing beats Reowyn's Frostguard
grim briar
also thats kinda subjective to an individual and there playstyle also subjective...
what combo is this? i assume ice fire ice right
hollow rover
what combo is this? i assume ice fire ice right
correct
tough crane
Not really doing much until empowered monos but yeah CFC feels nuts. Really nice defensive layer for RM to blast things.
hollow rover
Not really doing much until empowered monos but yeah CFC feels nuts. Really nice...
yeah i was originally going to go hydrahedron but liked frostclaw so much that i decided to stick with it and i noticed a massive differnece when using Reowyn's frosguard instead

is spark nova (From Halo Effect on LIghtning blast) effected by nova tree?
hollow rover
is spark nova (From Halo Effect on LIghtning blast) effected by nova tree?
from what i can tell no
untold heron
Thanks
stray crown
is spark nova (From Halo Effect on LIghtning blast) effected by nova tree?
it does gain a chance to cast (up to 40%) from the Distant Spark talent point in the sorc tree
keen bough
Is it known that the Elemental Tranquility passive is bugged for Elemental Nova?
It does not enable fire nova to Ignite as it says it should. You have to take Immolate in the fire portion to activate it.
azure minnow
anyone here like a seasoned vet of the game?
have a build idea but idk if its viable

Hello guys, recently I got back into LE and was following this (https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/QnaKzMVA) build. I've got most of the gear down except for LP and feel that I lack damage and sustainability. Would apreciate any tips on how to improve my char or should i just ditch this build for now? Here's my current char and gear https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/planner/6xc30ifn
