Allie on youtube and twitch has the best guide out there for CIrcle of fortune people. I highly recommend her

stiff crown

This is my old mana strike build. Just hold down right click and occasionally teleport or cast flame ward. Very easy to just play with mouse hand only. I had to revise it recently to take on higher corruption though and now I have to press more buttons to push corruption. https://imgur.com/a/qhFU892

short forge
#

feel too melee right now

stiff crown
#

Mana Strike is full screen ranged

#

Lol

#

With the ranged node that is

quick loom
#

Its melee without the range node. So ppl probably get worried when they hear it

any fixes to empowered monos while i was sleeping?

or is ish still broken

oh it's fixed

grats. that's actually terribly rare lol

#

I know I’ve been farming it since yesterday

#

I’m dreading the fact that Il need to farm another if I can’t slam the int to it

safe grail
#

oh just be prepared

winter crow
#

Same boss dmg as max roll julra, only a bit better for clearing mobs cuz the dmg buff is always active

brittle elbow
#

I wonder if I should farm a bit more copies or should I for know move for the other parts of the build I’m still missing

stuck fable
#

hmm does lightning aegis proc on dragnoath claw?

safe grail
#

yes

#

whatever you spec into FC or LB dragonath's will proc

stiff crown
#

0.016% for LP2. That's wild

safe grail
#

yeah

#

it's dummy thicc rare

weary hamlet
#

every shard lists the slots it can be applied to, most affixes go on maybe 3-4 item types and neither of these can be applied to a helmet

brittle elbow
#

Yeah Il probably farm the rest of the stuff I need and later Il maybe go back and farm some back up prismatic gazes

weary hamlet
#

That's why most skills have multiple ways of scaling them. For instance helmet has chance to apply frostbite on cold hit (mage specific) and int, both should directly scale the damage of your cold skills.

#

pressing right click > smashing buttons btw

short forge
#

thats good to know! thanks

#

i need pressing right click build lol this build sucks

stiff crown
#

🐸

weary hamlet
#

you should think not in damage types but in what skills you want to use instead, outside of cutting edge endgame optimization most damage skills can be viable to build around and do enough damage to kill sh it, survivability in this game starts to become a problem way before damage output

short forge
#

i want to use ranged skills

weary hamlet
#

well, all runemaster skills except flame rush, mana strike and flame reave are ranged or largely ranged

#

cause we can be splitting hairs on glacier and volcanic orb all day

short forge
#

static orb forces me to be melee which i don't like

#

so does mana strike

#

i like the frost claw

weary hamlet
#

you can make a number of ranged static orb builds

steel ridge
weary hamlet
#

even orbiting static orb eventually reaches the edge of your screen

stiff crown
#

I've already said this

steel ridge
#

Static orb can reach huge range. But also used for its utility

short forge
#

i dont know what utility its giving me now lol

quick loom
#

Sounds like you should just pick a lightning blast or frost claw build and call it a day lol

hollow bloom
#

does crowstorm crit chance increase with your crit chance (and all companion skills?) - cause the scaling tags dont mention minion at all, do companion skills scale off your stats or the minions?

although idk with reowyns you don't have enough slots for hp regen sh it

ok i move to my 14k runemaster build and use this one only for farm low corruption

maybe I can make it work with twisted heart

if I swap to one of the newer idols and convert all bolts in runebolt

frost claw, frostbite frost claw, plasma orb, any of these good?

in sequence

@umbral lake before you do, maybe try to get last steps of the living and gloves w/ ward based on missing life

that's really the only thing i can see working here

fab thank you

safe grail
#

in terms of what corruption you can farm

toxic ingot

It's annoying how I keep getting everything but good mage drops on my mage. Acolyte has a way better set waiting for it in the stash now, mage still struggling. xD

Hey mages! i play a 100spellblade currently just got to 210 corruption. the last 20 poitns of jump has me completely unable to survive. looking for any basic tips ( other than get good 🙂 i'm trying ! ) was curiosu if endurance and endurance threshhold mattered at all. my logic says no, but you never know

toxic ingot
#

Oh. I said that, opened a big chest, and got some sick lvl 52 stuff I can use in 12 levels, lol

short forge
safe grail
#

since it is a dot

quick loom
#

It sounds like it will take a while for them to get there. So not a big deal which build. Just need to learn the game a bit

unborn hamlet
#

They will probably buff it next cycle but as it stands it's one of the bottom feeders unfortunately

onyx glen
#

It’s felt prettt good even without the +3 frost claw relic. Transitioned around 85

unborn hamlet
#

A lot of other masteries can't get that high

safe grail
#

fair

#

in my eyes if you start sacrificing speed after a certain point

#

then it just isn't good at that point

safe grail
unborn hamlet
#

I mean, yeah obviously, but you can't benchmark it around falconers and warlocks as first" they've been bugged and patched rn, as well as next cycle might be completely different

#

That is to say I think spark charge is just the superior build all around

#

I think if your build can do between 500 to 750, it's strong and a good build in general

short forge
stiff crown
#

CFC invo says instant cast like Flame Ward and Enchant Weapon, but it makes me stop attacking temporarily to do a little casting animation unlike FW and EW. What's up with that.

unborn hamlet
#

My FW is insta cast

#

Even if I'm spamming frostclaw

#

No delay

stiff crown
#

That's what I'm saying

#

CFC has a delay even though it also has the instant cast tag

hollow arrow
#

feels like flaming rush is getting stuck on everything today

unborn hamlet
#

Well yeah because it has a casting animation

onyx glen
unborn hamlet
#

FW has no cast Animation

onyx glen
weary hamlet
unborn hamlet
#

Booty been cooking for real

#

I just hate the bad layout of epoch tools

weary hamlet
#

consider either idols with ward on hit if you are on shatter spam, or vessel/low life otherwise

unborn hamlet
stiff crown
weary hamlet
#

or Strudgeon's law

unborn hamlet
#

It's not a channeling spell

terse patio
stiff crown
#

Not so non channeling spells have instant cast though

unborn hamlet
#

But you're channeling them

#

It's not an instant skill

stiff crown
#

I'll have to try later to see if it interrupts channeling

brittle elbow
#

A question when a prophecy says unique armor it’s mean any type of armor and not a chest piece

stiff crown
#

But as it stands, I have to stop attacking to cast CFC even though it's instant cast

stiff crown
#

Unlike EW or FW

brittle elbow
#

Oops

unborn hamlet
#

It has to say unique body armor

#

But they have the same icon

stiff crown
#

I understand it's because there's an animation, but why have instant cast when other non channeling skills don't have that tag and have an animation. That's my point

unborn hamlet
#

I mean the cast takes a split millisecond, I don't know where you see such an issue with it tbh

#

Frostclaw has an animation too

#

Ok let me try to explain it differently

#

Have you ever played league of legends

#

If yes then you should know what animation cancel is

#

This is the same concept

#

You can cancel frostclaw animation with another frostclaw or some other spell

#

But you can't cancel CFC animation

quick loom
#

What is cfc?

unborn hamlet
#

Cold fire cold runic invocation

#

The shield for DMG reduction and ward

weary hamlet
quick loom
#

Gotcha. Is there a point to recasting it? (Sorry forget to check tree to see why)

weary hamlet
#

the next patch is leaking

unborn hamlet
#

I recast it off CD by muscle memory

weary hamlet
quick loom
#

Runes already over my head and icon by health bar all the time….. does that not mean its up?

weary hamlet
#

you can check that by using it with no runes

unborn hamlet
#

Runic invocation has a cool down, even if you have the runes ready it doesn't mean U can use them

#

CFC is what

#

12-13sec active?

#

While runic invocation is on 8sec CD

quick loom
#

I feel tanky all the time now. And never recast lol

unborn hamlet
#

So you can recast the shield before the first one ends

safe grail
#

13 sec

unborn hamlet
#

Meaning you have 100% uptime

unborn hamlet
#

Once mobs start one shotting you from 20k ward you will see a reason to recast it all the time 😂

quick loom
#

Still felt better after setting up immutable order. Idk. Thanks for info

safe grail
#

just hit it on CD

#

and have perma 30% DR

#

lol

quick loom
#

Will do

unborn hamlet
#

Well yeah that's what immutable order is, so you don't have to think about the order

marsh ibex
#

Any recommendation for a Runemaster leveling guide? New character

quick loom
#

I wasnt using it at all before io

safe grail
unborn hamlet
#

i did it with no guide in about 6 hours

safe grail
#

after that, go research a build on youtube or lastepochtools

unborn hamlet
#

Without power farming in monoliths

marsh ibex
#

Thanks, I see most are end-game so I have no idea how to start!

unborn hamlet
#

Well, you can always ask someone to just carry you across dungeons and skip majority of the game

safe grail
#

yeah just dont touch the endgame guides on maxroll or you'll be back in here asking why you are weak @marsh ibex

stiff crown
# unborn hamlet But you can't cancel CFC animation

I understand animation cancelling and all that. What I'm saying is you can cast EW and FW while you're in the middle of another attack, but not with CFC even though they all have the same Instant Cast tag. I think it's an oversight by the devs. Just my opinion. Either remove instant cast, or make it castable without breaking flow even if it is a millisecond

crimson raft
#

^ This 100% So many just tends to skip the "You need lv 70 char" warning

unborn hamlet
#

😂 oi, my maxroll guide is doing fine for what I want to do

onyx glen
#

Maxroll isn’t bad it just needs to make updates

safe grail
#

that's it really

#

they dont make good enough updates

#

or frequent enough

stiff crown
onyx glen
#

Like if a new build comes out that’s destroying corruption, make a guide or at least a mention that it exists. But to pretend it’s not real is just disheartening

#

A “tier” list doesn’t need to just be only your builds

crimson raft
#

I do get that though. They can't really list builds they haven't played\vetted.

onyx glen
#

Yeah that’s fair too. Their other guides are well done though, beyond just builds

crimson raft
#

For a more open community driven tier list, Lastepochtools would fit more IMO, would need some kind of voting, or something, but then the voters aren't "experts" just normal players.

stiff crown
#

I also could be wrong, but I think the ward gain from CFC stacks; both instant and over time wards. Not sure about the DR though. Hard to test that one

hollow arrow
#

whats your most hated enemy as a RM

marsh ibex
hollow arrow
#

lmao

crimson raft
#

Depends a bit... lightmages are generally annoying as their AoE markers stack and so you go oh i can tank 1...ding Oh have 10 more.

hollow arrow
#

I'd say lightmages or the gorgons

#

those twisters are TRACKING for me today like sheesh

stiff crown
# safe grail 13 sec

Casting Runic through Flame Rush bypasses the CD. You can cast Runic using both FR and Runic cooldown

#

Getting CFC every 2 seconds or so

crimson raft
#

But that node increases the cost alot IIRC?

stiff crown
#

By an additional 25%

#

Not a issue for my build

crimson raft
#

Oh, that's not too bad!

#

I probably read it as +125% then.

stiff crown
#

And the best part is that there's no animation for casting CFC if done this way

crimson raft
#

The only downside i can see in theory then would be if you use it to proc CFC you can be on cd when you need it to actually move out of the way ASAP, but like...eh. You can stack CD reduction so low

twilit stag
onyx glen
#

Literally just chilling at the start and then CHUNK DEAD

safe grail
#

one of my primary issues rn is that im playing w/ unslammed chest or helm and that's like.... 8-10% more CDR

stiff crown
weary hamlet
safe grail
#

thati could get value out of Flame rush/invo

hollow arrow
#

just had an arena match of full wengari throwers so yeah i can agree with that

hollow arrow
#

and those big ones that throw explosive spears

dim veldt
stiff crown
crimson raft
#

Heh, i just use mine for Reowyn's Frostguard.
More defenses. More ward. More "Pls let me stand here in peace and nuke you"

stiff crown
#

What I'm saying is use Flame Rush to cast that and get frenzy/Julra

weary hamlet
#

by far the most annoying enemy for any build

stiff crown
#

Then if you're worried about positioning, use Runic to teleport and get CFCalso

#

Since casting CFC through Flame Rush does not put Runic on CD

hollow arrow
#

the matrons doing the big beam of light seem to chunk my fps once in awhile

#

it's a pain when i got a whole node full of them

onyx glen
crimson raft
#

Regen probably? Don't stack, but you would get the ward

stiff crown
#

I do both if I need a big burst of ward

weary hamlet
crimson raft
#

I do hope they don't nerf CFC too much when the ward hammer comes down after this season

hollow arrow
#

it's amazing honestly

#

that moment when you get a frost claw idol with mana/armor but lowest roll for both rip

safe grail
#

if they touch RM, it'll just gut mage entirely tbch

#

Mage's defensive toolkit relies on ward or dodge (depending on how you play) and nerfing ward will just hurt the class dramatically.

crimson raft
#

I would prefer if they gave sorc a nice boost

safe grail
#

unless they added a node that gives DR based on ward or something

#

or ward retention.

#

idk

weary hamlet
#

I mean the free 100% more damage passive at all times isn't helping it either

#

they need to remove that completely cause there is no fair way to use it, or at least make it into a short term buff (maybe also with a cooldown) that triggers when you say fall below 35%

stiff crown
#

I'll be in despair if they nerf my LP3 Sanguine and LP3 Steps

weary hamlet
#

Actually they knew that low life was already problematic in being better then health even on non-int classes like rogue and primalist and instead of addressing it they made the cleaver, one of the dumbest items in the game

#

I don't have much faith in their item and skill design at all in this regard

quick loom
#

Considering all the bugs, and the reluctance to fix them asap, its going to take them forever to adjust items/classes completely lol

weary hamlet
#

It's not even lack of action, they don't even acknowledge that these are a problem and keep releasing more OP sh it

quick loom
#

I agree on both lol

wind vector
#

The more spell dmg from alchemist ladle count as increased (additive) or more damage (multiple)?

naive parcel
#

Honest question why is all this stuff coming up in community about busted builds? Like not understanding how it’s unfair, does this have to do with leaderboards?

safe grail
#

Yes

#

It primarily will have to do w/ leaderboards

#

but secondarily, about overall build diversity and balance

#

napkin math shows that a probable amount of mage players are RM mastery (something like probably 98%)

#

and it is a semi-known and tested fact that RM does Sorc builds better, so sorcs will just choose RM

#

spellblade players have very few competitive builds, and the couple they have are done better by RM

twilit stag
naive parcel
#

Ah I see, yea mostly poopoo builds and one good one per class isn’t fun

nimble orbit
weary hamlet
terse patio
#

RM just has more options more uniques and more stats

#

But spell blade has style

weary hamlet

#

I had no idea about this stuff when I picked Runemaster, doing a pure lightning build but you can definitely stack ward

weary hamlet
weary hamlet
#

kindly disregard these 102 sorc builds that are better on rm than on sorc

twilit stag
#

How much int should I be shooting for as an RM?

weary hamlet
#

all the int

twilit stag
#

Int + cast speed on everything I guess. Anywhere else int + crit multi

#

Besides CDR, what suffixes should I be shooting for then? My Res is fine so I'm always stuck on what to put there.

safe grail
# nimble orbit Regarding this, what RM passives make them a better choice for Sorc builds?

sorc has outdated passives that RM just does better. take for instance the node where you gain 120 ward for hitting w/ one element on a 10 second cooldown where you can get another 240 ward by using the other 2 elements.

RM literally gets a node that allows you to get 32 ward on direct spell cast, meaning scale cast speed = scaled ward gen

so you can gain 360 ward for hitting w/ a tri-element ability or w/ 3 sep elements as sorc or hit with one ability 3 times as RM, crit 3 times, gain ward, gain crit multi etc etc.

#

RM scales with everything it does, while sorc you have to just go out of your way to survive. it's clunky.

jaunty heron
#

Are RM builds pretty tanky by default?

#

Or glass cannons?

safe grail
#

they are tanky

twilit stag
#

Pretty tanky with any ward

jaunty heron
#

I'm noobm only have a 95 BM and a 90 Facloneer, not enjoying the playstyles atm

gritty copper
#

FFS. Does Shattered Chains exist?

nimble orbit
#

I see. And looks like the bonus damage from RM helps too. Kinda regret choosing sorc since I thought arcane ascendance was fun but ended up not using it lol

jaunty heron
#

want something more bruiser and like maybe POE equiv to Tankiness of like cycloners or RF

weary hamlet
#

it has like cubic attack speed scalign with all the passives

jaunty heron
#

is maxroll leveling build the best one?

naive parcel
proven dirge
#

when trying to increase corruption , is the process to just go out as far as you can then it resets?

nimble orbit

I ended up using lightning blast, flame rush, frost wall and static orb as my main spells lmao

weary hamlet

better mana stacking effects, better mana regen effects, better mana payoffs etc

nimble orbit
#

I am liking the lightning pen and crit chance from Sorc tho

weary hamlet
#

rooting yourself in place is already enough of a drawback

#

also it's hilarious that the best mana regen skill for large mana pools is found not on sorc/mage but on sentinel

#

and the best payoff skill for a large mana pool too

Find a skill you like first. Then someone can help from there

planning on using crest of unity here to make a elemental nova build https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAwJgzGwOxA
since its always tri elemental is there a preferred path to go down in that tree thats better than the other two elements

he takes the node that gives him more dmg based max mana

wonder what he was trying to get on the heart as well with that upgrade

possibly more mana or int lol

for the guide, i'm assuming its the leveling runemaster from maxroll, you want to wait until the third skill slot

sturdy summit
#

one of the problems with the maxroll levelling guides is that the places where they tell you to respec don't make any sense. It's like someone just decided it arbitrarily without thinking about the order you actually get things in when levelling.

brisk patrol
#

I like the leveling guides on maxroll, but their endgame builds are not good at all

hollow arrow
#

i figured that out when i tried a warpath build off of maxroll

#

could hardly do anything past empowered lmao

#

i mean warpath is still meh overall but still, it was terrible on maxroll

brisk patrol
#

I love Frost claw with the lightning skill upgrades. I run about 12-15k ward when in monoliths and hit about 40-50k ward during boss fights

twilit stag
#

How low can you reasonably get the flame rush cd to be? Would it be viable to use it as your only source of invoke procs?

sturdy summit
#

how often do you need invoke procs?

twilit stag
#

Would like it to be my main source of damage, so realistically ever 3 or 4 seconds

#

Ideally every 2

stiff crown
#

I just spam CFC with Flame Rush

twilit stag
#

What is your current cooldown for rush?
I think I can get a viable wrongwarp build if I can do that

neon lynx
#

that is not viable to do at all

#

if runic is ur main damage

#

u want to spamming it a lot more than once every 2 seconds lol

stiff crown
#

I'm not at home to check

twilit stag
#

That's good enough for me

sturdy summit
#

note that CFC is not kurii's main source of damage

neon lynx
#

^

twilit stag
#

Technically runebolt would be "main" source, but invoke would be the big numbers

sturdy summit
#

big numbers are a noob trap

#

only thing that matters is the final number

#

total damage per second

twilit stag
#

Rune bolt > invoke stacks > rush which procs invoke > invoke procs spells and casts twice > tp then glyph

#

Rinse repeat. Is my theory for now at least

sturdy summit
#

which invoke are you using?

twilit stag
#

Random

sturdy summit
#

ah, you're doing wild magic

twilit stag
#

Bet

#

It's soooo fun lol

stiff crown
#

Also note that Rush doesn't put Runic on CD nor does it have a cast animation that I know of

twilit stag
#

Ohhhhhh

sturdy summit
#

wild magic build wouldn't have a cooldown on runic anyway

#

because it doesn't want immutable order, so why take the cooldown

twilit stag
stiff crown
#

That's true

#

No animation is nice though

twilit stag
#

So really just flame rush cd is my limiting factor then

sturdy summit
#

only problem with using flame rush to proc invoke is that you're forced to use flame rush kappa

twilit stag
#

It's so buggy 😥

#

That being said I neeeed it for survivability currently. In relying heavily on invoke traversal at the moment, but no longer can if I'm using wrongwarp

stiff crown
#

However though, the runic energy gained from mana spent is not counted if casted through Flame Rush. Not sure if that's intended

sturdy summit
#

even if it worked smoothly, it would be worse mobility than TP.. Can't cut corners, has a travel time

stiff crown
#

But you can still twin the invo

twilit stag
#

I don't mind for mobility, since wrongwarp build has me at like 110 movement speed

#

Just need it to get out of a crowd

#

It is going to be clunky buttons though. Rush > TP > Glyph > Spam bolt

jaunty heron
#

Looking over some of the skills, are there solid end-game, like smooth 500 corruption Arc style builds?

hybrid jay
#

with the "Static" skill. Do the two nodes "Unlimited power" and "Unstable" work together? Tried testing it and I cant tell. Tried searching it and cant get a clear answer.

safe grail
hybrid jay
#

to again clarify.... Have you looked at the two nodes?

#

"Unstable" causes you to ZAP more enemies . 4 points is 4 more enemies.

"Unlimited Power" changes it so ZAP does not proc anymore, but instead "Lightning Blast" procs.

#

The way I'm reading it. Unstable ONLY applies to ZAP.

#

looks like a few people have asked this question and noone has really given a response.

#

I tried testing it. And I legit can't tell

#

my assumption is the interaction does NOT work

safe grail
#

so it's either going to work one of two ways then:

  1. It CONVERTS zap to LB via the overload node
  2. It completely drops zap and causes it to never proc zap to additional targets

There are some nodes that don't specifically say they don't work together, but they didn't work together. Like lightning blast Convergence and Closed Circuit.

nimble shoal
# fringe copper man whats the best way to farm twisted heart

If you're looking for strategy, the idea is to stack as much rarity as you can from enemy mods before going in to the boss fight and raising corruption as much as you can comfortably handle. Run echoes farther away from the center for more stability per. Rush echo objectives and kill mobs along the way without slowing down.

Guys I am using plasma orb, is the damage of it dynamic depending on the stat of your buffs? for instance static orb has "Static Armor" which grants lightning aegis -- 50% increased lightning damage.

When it comes to fire ball, how do you guys go about building it for maximum single target damage?

Obviously not the main dmg, but really helps with clearing.
flame rush -> autocasts runic invocation -> autocasts elemental nova -> 100% chance for spark charge in a huge area

Ingvars head.

#

that will immediately enable better damage

#

gamblers / soul gamblers fallacy in tandem with that will bump your disintegrate dmg up by a minimum of 4x

#

make sure flame ward cant retaliate

errant plank
#

wow, what do you mean ?

hollow arrow
#

I'm curious how bad the prices are now on mg

barren pawn
errant plank
#

Ingvars head is an item?

barren pawn
#

yes

#

its an offhand catalyst

#

allows disintegrate to scale off spell crit

#

which you can easily obtain upwards of 1300+%

#

which is a 13x multiplier.

I kno wnothing about fireball

Getting a bit over Hydra. What's a fairly tanky alternative build I should work towards?

errant plank
# barren pawn I kno wnothing about fireball

i spam some when i need mobility, otherwis ei tend to disintegrate but harder on bosses since i need to dodge. And i use runic invoc. when its maxes at 46 runes and i need damage/aoe

Interestingly, if you cast (lightning) Frost Claw through Macuahuitl, it casts it for free but it also triggers Brand of Deception which requires you to hit with a lightning skill that costs at least 15 mana since it doesn't require you to cast it, just hit with it. Not relevant for FC main skillers, but for Mana Strikers.

errant plank
barren pawn
#

maxroll is sh1t yes but for an overall outline its okay

quick herald
barren pawn
#

disintegrate Requires you be all in

#

its not optional.

#

You HAVE to build for it.

#

and only it.

#

otherwise it blows

#

Sincerely a disintegrate main

#

some abilities dont require you to go all in

quick herald
#

Yeah the build above that Kyo sent has good example of passives and skillpoints for a disintegrate-focused build. Do smth like that if you want to use it.

#

I've been thinking of swapping to disintegrate from nova claw but I feel like it would feel so slow and clunky now that I'm used to blitzing with novas

errant plank
#

i understand what you guyz are saying. i like it but i was also using nova first few levels and felt good as well so... 50 levels playing disintegrate.... may change it all

barren pawn
#

it clears as fast as frost claw

#

its main problem is its upper corr limit is 700 assuming you are full bis

upbeat hollow
#

got a quick question! Does the mana arcs from mana strike proc per cast or per target hit?

quick herald
#

idc about that. Only doing around 200 rn anyway since I don't feel theres a point in going higher

barren pawn
#

its also suuuuuper cheap to get online

barren pawn
#

its absolutely demolishes sub 400 content

quick herald
#

Can ya link your build on letools?

barren pawn
#

Mine isnt ready yet so no

#

Just use maxrolls, it gives you all the info you need

#

and its good for anything under 400

that one looks very good for its costs

I just got a bunch of runes of ascendance for the first time - spellblade roughly lvl 50, any uniques worth shooting for?

twilit stag
# errant plank why not ?

Because that can crit. And if it crits then the amulet resets and you lose a ton of damage from crit chance

#

Same think when you invoke

errant plank
twilit stag
# errant plank what is that ?

Gives you increased crit chance if you haven't crit recently. It's a unique amulet you get from the soul gambler at the end of the soul bastion dungeon

barren pawn
#

Ill break it down for you

#

Gamblers fallacy is an item that gives you an insanely high increase to spell crit

twilit stag
#

@barren pawn @barren pawn @barren pawn 😋

barren pawn
#

but ONLY if you havent crit for a bit

#

flame wards retaliation can crit.

#

You dont want this.

#

If you do it right, you can maintain the gamblers buff 24/7

#

which will provide you a massive increase to spell crit

#

This is important because ingvars head allows disintegrate to scale off spell crit.

#

Leet me demonstrate

royal quarry
#

Does disintegrate only count as one spell hit cause it’s not applying poison with tongue of the aberrant seer

barren pawn
#

damage over time / channeled

#

theoretically if yuou use twisted heart with it you should generate a fk ton of ward

signal yew
#

For the lightning blast version of the frost claw build, are you specializing into blast specifically for the spark charge points? Do you ever proc lightning blast itself if you’re using a Ladle?

barren pawn
royal quarry
#

So stuff that procs on spell hit doesn’t really work with channeled spells?

barren pawn
#

Spell crit WITH gamblers 1144% Normal crit with gamblers 979%.

errant plank
barren pawn
#

they do not deal crit damage.

#

disintegrate scales its damage off spell crit chance IF you have ingvars

#

FOR FEKKS SAKE LET UYS EMBED SO I CAN SHOW PEOPLE THIS INSTEAD OF TYPING IT OUT

errant plank
#

ooowww this: Disintegrate deals more damage equal to your spell crit chance

#

Kyo, also make sure you're getting some standard spell damage too though. Aka elemental dot. Since its more damage it should be multi for even crazier hits

errant plank
#

ok but for this i need 2 uniques i dont have yet (ignivar and gambler)

twilit stag
#

Aka an extra 100% increased elemental dot scales multi with the crit chance dmg

errant plank
#

btw should i specialize in skills i actively use? Like if i repalce fireball by glyph i should specialize glyph, or is there some weird combo where i should specialize some other skill that would proc automatically....?

First time playing runemaster. It's pretty cool, reminds me of that game magika lol. I see most builds kinda playing around one invocation or another. Is that pretty much the most ideal?

#

I'm only level 25 and it's cool to throw the hydra, pop a plasma orb, generate eard, go oom and laugh at myself .

twilit stag
#

You have any "more" dmg you can add from the tree too?

solid copper
#

So is anyone doing the Disintergrate/Lightning Blast with it chaining back to you for added buffs?

barren pawn

solid copper
#

I'm using Frost Claw/Lava Talon, approaching level 80 and trying to decide what build to get into for later game stuff

warped crow
#

just keep that xD

#

firestarter torch op

jaunty heron
#

I think ibleveled with the torch until I could put on ladel, can Def see it being good endgame lol

solid copper
#

I ditched it for this wand I crafted... Still has some forging potential left
94% Spell Damage
151% Elemental DoT
78% Ignite
26% Chill
8% Fire Penetration
Base sucks +40 Spell Damage and 69% Health Regen

warped crow
#

ye but spreading flames

#

and the -4 mana cost

solid copper
#

if I had gotten the fire damage affix when forging onto the 3 LP torch, maybe

warped crow
#

lol

jaunty heron
#

Anyway, for leveling, currently I'm swapping back and fourth between plasma orb, the lightning nova thay is the reverse of plasma orb, or the hydra. Are those pretty much the three common ones people use endgame? Any others I should play with while leveling?

barren pawn
solid copper
#

Yeah

barren pawn
#

didnt the whole damn server tell you off at one point?

solid copper
#

yeah

signal yew
#

For frost claw lightning blast build - dragorath claw vs mad alchemists ladle. I see both being used, which do we think is best?

barren pawn
#

haha i remember this guy

#

small world

solid copper
#

idk what the deal was... I made a build... did crazy damage numbers.. squishy though and a guy went a made a youtube video with it using hacked gear

errant plank
#

ok lets move on, will go with disintegrate glyph runic invoc flameward and teleportation

#

respeccing all the passives and skills

twilit stag

lime birch
#

can anyone help me figure out why my runebolt wont cast lighning orbs?

royal quarry
#

If I want to do a disintegrate build should I go runemaster or sorcerer

solid copper
#

All I did was take every %dmg node. Problem was it was squishy. You keep multiplying numbers, they get big

lament lodge
#

so i picked up a claw but no enigma yet, been looking for builds, any recos?

lime birch
#

anyone know why my runebolt is set to fire only and isnt showing lighning in the rotation?

keen nebula
#

you would've picked a skill that makes it fire only

lime birch
#

hmm

keen nebula
#

like the skill searing dart

#

swap's cold tag for fire tag

lime birch
#

i cant post screen shots in here

#

sheesh

keen nebula
#

in your runebolt skill tree

#

look over the left in the middle and read the skill

lime birch
#

could it be the far left one?

#

blazing flare?

keen nebula
#

next to thhat one

#

searing dart

lime birch
#

thats cold conversion

keen nebula
#

and blazing flare as well yep

#

so meaning you get fire only

lime birch
#

i only want fire and electric

#

so when i press keybind 3 times i get fire electric and fire

#

so that i can just toss orbs out

#

interesting

short peak
#

how do I scale dmg over time ? I wanted to build some overtime cold dmg sorcerer but idk how to scale it without the spell base damage that other build can use

twilit stag
#

Elemental DOT and cold DOT and %chance to apply

short peak
#

but double elemental dmg overtime will be useful

#

maybe i'm innately applying frostbite ?

tight rapids
#

How does int effect runemaster build ?

#

I’m hitting for 150 300 and the build i copy hitting 30k 🙃
