[brittle elbow]

Fc ?

[bronze shore]

Or plasma orb dex scaling need snow drift

There are what i like to called core item

[rigid valley]

Frostclaw

[bronze shore]

The unique that enable the build to work

[brittle elbow]

Ah ok

[limpid drum]

But brother promotes a blaze frostclaw for high corruption

Lmao

💀

[bronze shore]

Some need it at legendary and some just need it at unique

[bronze shore]

Ye that sound trash

Not because ignite is bad but i assume they will use the self ignit belt

Then they will self cleanse the ignite with FC

[brittle elbow]

I’m a bit lost honestly have some many versions and variations found one on yt that’s it’s solely on legendary and started to farm that gear now I’m not sure if it’s the correct

[bronze shore]

Early ignite FC is good since early dot are op

[winter crow]

Not mandatory, its possible to make it work without, I have it but dont use it cuz t7 int is stronger

[brittle elbow]

Would love if there was one general good build to follow which afterwards I can maybe jump into different variations

[bronze shore]

Because many people have vary way that they play their build

Many one of those build may have smilarity “core” item

[bronze shore]

Ye +2 fc omnis can work

[winter crow]

Not even +2

[brittle elbow]

Kk but I’m struggling to find which one is right to work kk wait a minute

[bronze shore]

I think the + it just to slove mana problem

[winter crow]

.

[brittle elbow]

Il link the one I’m following

[winter crow]

No mana problems

Without static shell too

I mean unstable core

[bronze shore]

Hmm could be an good idea to not spec into frozen malice

[brittle elbow]

https://youtu.be/1LGe4rPZgtE?si=2eOsC7Z7zN2c7T1t

[winter crow]

Its not needed at all nova clear is good enough

[bronze shore]

But the auto aim i do feel does give some good dmg

[winter crow]

Without nova its a must

With nova no need

[bronze shore]

Doesnt the auto aim also make it turn back to the orginal target?

[winter crow]

No

[bronze shore]

Ah sadge

[winter crow]

It only works for enemies that are away

So only helps clear a bit but nova clear is amazing already

Not worth losing t7 int for it

[limpid drum]

How did u guess💀

[bronze shore]

Because i know how to build

Play enough and u know what goes with what

[bronze shore]

I must said the idea is so stupid

[brittle elbow]

but basicly i can follow both fo them ?

[bronze shore]

Not exactly “better” but i do belived LB have higher single dps

[brittle elbow]

LB ?

[bronze shore]

Not by much

Lightning blast

[brittle elbow]

Oh ok but in All its ok to follow either right

[winter crow]

Its basically the same build

Lb doesnt outdps nova

[bronze shore]

Ye all of them is good

[winter crow]

Cuz nova procs from fc

[bronze shore]

I like the nova one because i want to see my pc burn

[winter crow]

Lol same, also its the highest dps one

[bronze shore]

Could try dragonclaw instead of ladle

[winter crow]

Already did

Not better

[bronze shore]

Xd

[winter crow]

And my dragonclaw has godly rolls

[bronze shore]

nova spark is extreamly strong and LB spark charge is also strong

[umbral stone]

Yeah, using the unique gloves

[brittle elbow]

Ok so I’m in the right path already have the prismatic gaze the chest and ring now farming the rest with a stric loot filter for exalted that I can slam into them

[bronze shore]

It just sad that spark nova is better than lb nova xd

Although in term of dmg they are both in high tier

[thin abyss]

Day 271 of no +4 FC relic 💪🏾

[winter crow]

+4 is bait anyways

[thin abyss]

Lmaooo

[winter crow]

T7 int is stronger

And fc mana issues are solved not taking the frozen malice node which is only better clear

[thin abyss]

Wut rly

[winter crow]

And if you run nova, your clear is already good

[brittle elbow]

Can I ask about one more build before i continue?

[winter crow]

Sure

This build has a guide:

Spark Charge Nova Runemaster - Build Guide by WolfsGoRawr

[winter crow]

That one doesnt look that good

[brittle elbow]

Ok

[winter crow]

Low cast speed, low crit multi, no dash skill so no frenzy

And it stacks light dmg % which is additive not mult

[thin abyss]

So do u reckon i should just try t7 int slams? And unspec that malice node

I was also temporarily running an omnis for that +1 but it gives me very little dps. Could get a high crit multi neck lol

[bronze shore]

Nova spark claw i would rate S-

If were to have mobility than would be S tier

[spare pendant]

it is very entertaining to finally see that spark charges are insane

it only took a few patches

[forest nacelle]

what was changed?

[spare pendant]

I mean the only thing that changed was the mana on the ele nova frost claw setup is more bearable

but spark charges have been insanely strong this entire time since runemaster was added

but you could have played the same exact setup last patch with very minute changes

[errant plank]

what should i do with uniques/sets items i know i will never use ?

same for idols etc actually

[still stump]

finally hit t7 int on my chest today was a good day

[steady summit]

nice dude what chest armor is it?

[still stump]

unstable core, ty

[proper hawk]

I feel like mad alchemist ladle is a big part of it too

[spare pendant]

that was also added last patch

thats when we were all playing spark charge builds

of various different styles

the frost claw ele nova one was one we knew about but the buff to mana made it insane

I still like the LB focused one

cause it has more single target

and caps crit for free

[proper hawk]

I saw this, where is the crit cap coming from for the LB version? I was really confused on this

[spare pendant]

closed circuit stacks

[proper hawk]

ah that's the piece I was missing, thanks

I saw, I think was pinchingloaf's build? and he had capped crit without any base crit like prismatic gaze, and I was baffled

[spare pendant]

theres like 20 different ways of playing this build though

yep

that was pinchings version

[proper hawk]

I thought there must have been a bug somewhere giving him base crit lmao

[spare pendant]

whenever pinching, amarathy, perry and I find something we usually talk about it and we hashed out like 20 versions when ladle and runemaster came out

[proper hawk]

yeah I remember a bunch of versions of spark charge runemaster coming out, it was great, I just continued to enjoy my mana strike spark charge RM lol

I somehow missed how nuts the closed circuit stacks were though

[spare pendant]

that wasnt your fault

the game back then was insanely vague

[proper hawk]

nah, I knew exactly how it worked, it just didn't click how many stacks you'd be getting

[hollow arrow]

damn i sold that belt for 45m

fkin nuts

im doing the RM FC build from macin

are blood of the exile boots better than the mirage ones?

i dont have lp on either atm

[quick herald]

what is this claw build that gets capped crit "for free"?

[quick loom]

Lightning blast version. Pinchingloaf on yt has a vid. Im sure others too

[supple narwhal]

is 22+ spell dmg flat > 74% spell dmg?

I wanted to send a screenshot but its disabled 😭

[amber prairie]

Is it not worth it to slam a tier 6 Frost Claw on a 1LP Twisted??

[quick herald]

50/50, either it hits or it doesn't

[still stump]

def worth

[quick loom]

Its really up to you. Depending how rare/valuable the exalted is and same for a 1 or 2 LP twisted is.

[amber prairie]

y'all just want to seem me fail

[still stump]

2lp heart is a myth

[quick loom]

Exactly

Lol

[still stump]

unless you are selling the +3

you slam always

[quick loom]

Its risky. But are you gonna a see a 2 LP to try it?

[amber prairie]

now, if I fail the slam, is it better still to wear the twisted over the +3 Frost Claw?

[still stump]

I wouldnt even slam +3 on a 2lp

[amber prairie]

you're right, probably not

[still stump]

I would wait for a +4 that has int

[quick loom]

If you see one lol

[still stump]

I got a +2 julras ring today

[buoyant maple]

Is the Plasma Orb RM build still a thing? I was about to launch the game for the first time in months and I remember reading something about PO being bugged and receiving a fix since launch?

[still stump]

thought that was a myth as well

[hollow arrow]

Gotta get me one of those lightning critical strike chance idols

one with 38 % crit chance, but lowest roll lightning dmg double if 300+ mana

[quick loom]

1.3%. Could be worse lol

[hollow arrow]

kek someone sold a red ring for 10m

[supple narwhal]

Is it possible to make Frost Claw homing? Like, they just automatically strike enemies?

[split yacht]

does anyone else has mana problems when spamming frostclaw? like it used to be less i feel like i could spam it all time and now i just run out of mana so often

[tacit hornet]

get better gear

[quick loom]

Did you add a node that increases cost? Or add nova?

[still stump]

depends entirely on your build, that happened to me if I removed a +1 skills somewhere and didnt notice it, if you lose any of the nodes in frost claw you likely will mess up your mana

[supple narwhal]

There nodes that help you with mana efficiency

[still stump]

also idols

[hollow arrow]

should i worry about higher crit strike chance with lightning skills over increased lightning dmg for now

i plan to get a better one later on

it's the 3 slot idol

[brittle elbow]

With the spark charge build I’m doing I’m currently farming the gear on a different character before I actually create my runemaster
My question is when would you say it’s good enough for me to start the character and upgrading as I go

[tribal bay]

Hey guys, i do try to loot Strands of Souls, repeativly killing abomination, at 300 corruption, with +23% legendary drop, but after 30 try still nothing, you guys know if i do something wrong ? :p

[quick loom]

That sounds like bad rng

[quasi merlin]

Spark Charge Claw or Plasma Orb for someone who's almost exclusively solo and bored of Hydra?

[still stump]

I dropped hydra for claw

[bronze shore]

there no way i spent 27m for prismatic gaze

[brittle elbow]

What are the most important gear of the build like the pieces I need to get to be able to play the build and farm the rest while wearing good exalts ?

[bronze shore]

the frost nova claw?

[brittle elbow]

Yes

[bronze shore]

most important i think is + 3 frost claw then unstable core then engima

all of it give +skill point for frost claw

[brittle elbow]

Ok I have a lp3 enigma
Need to farm unstable core than first also Il only be able to get the +3 frost claw after I make the runemaster right cause I won’t be able to get it to drop on my necro

Ok I can currently go with prismatic gaze enigma ladle julras ring need to farm the unstable core and Il be able to replace the rest with decent exalts while farming for the rest of the pieces right

[bronze shore]

probably

[tacit hornet]

2.5k

source: empyrian

what do you guys think is better for pushing and farming corruption, frost claw or lightning marksman

[safe owl]

Is there is a solution for health pool drain instances that can bypass your ward and easy to kill you when u run low life?

[bronze shore]

depend on your build

mage usually dont go lowlife with exsang and last step

and there should no dmg that can bypass ward

[onyx glen]

Leech helps too

[bronze shore]

when running a ward base defense then ward is your hp

any dmg that can break your ward will kill you anyways

[safe owl]

The dmg doesnt break the ward it bypass it

[bronze shore]

bleed?

i dont remember the game have any dmg that can bypass ward

[safe owl]

Its kinda like necro pools on the ground i noticed in few places

[bronze shore]

oh you ment dragon emp?

yeah i think that the only instance that it bypass ward

rest of the game shouldnt have dmg that an bypass ward

[safe owl]

There is one arena have a pool , and i think the abonimation outside circle too

[bronze shore]

nah abomination dmg is blocked

the pool i mean

that mean you ward is too low

it usually hit around like 5k+

on higher corrupt

[safe owl]

Was conserned if i swap to low life as i am playing hc

[bronze shore]

you can ask it in community but im 100% sure that there no dmg that can bypass ward

[safe owl]

Just didnt want to get surprised by something new

[bronze shore]

aside from the necrotic dragon in regin of dragon

[safe owl]

Alright

Thank man

[bronze shore]

[bronze shore]

i wonder if ocearons is better than Jurla for my build

although 16x3 int is nice

[unborn hamlet]

Nope

Anyway, yeah ocearons, gonna be fun grinding one of the rarest rings

[bronze shore]

oh wait ocearon have 1% more dmg per stack of shock?

that insane

[unborn hamlet]

But well, as long as it drops from a prophecy I'll get two at once

[bronze shore]

could be better than Jurla

[stiff crown]

🐸

[bronze shore]

😭

i mean 1% per shock though

it should stack around like 200%

[stiff crown]

NOT WHAT YOU SAID A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO

[bronze shore]

PEOPLE OPINION CHANGE

[bronze shore]

now i wonder if ocearon is actually better than Jurla

Jurla probably stronger than ocearon if lp2?

[stiff crown]

Dunno. You miss out on the ward per mana spent though if you care about that

[onyx glen]

I got one yesterday with a rune of ascendancy!

[unborn hamlet]

You are looking for certain death aren't you

[onyx glen]

Didn’t realize it was rare, thought only the red ring was

It has no LP on it anyways

[bronze shore]

it actually a pretty low amount of ward

since most of the ward gen is from rm passive tree

that why i was also wondering an alternative to strand of souls belt

[unborn hamlet]

Not sure what the actual drop rate on red ring is, people say 1 in 500

But ocearon is a very rare drop with 98% reroll chance

[stiff crown]

I'm using LP4 Chains of Uleros

[stiff crown]

If a unique ring were to drop, then it's 0.171%

[unborn hamlet]

Strand of souls belt is way too OP

NGL

[onyx glen]

The jungle queen belt + transversal experimental is great too

[bronze shore]

ocearon is 85

red ring is 98

[tacit hornet]

what is reroll chance

[bronze shore]

probably is like if it hit then it would move to next item i think

or in the tier of the item

since there are very rare>rare etc

[stiff crown]

Just means if the game rolls the item for you (if it drops for you), then there's a % chance that the game says nope and picks another item

[rocky anvil]

Fkin' dreamt all night I was playing a RM with 9 runes instead of 3 and I'd only use F, F, F, F, L, F, F, F, F combo that turned me into some kind of avatar for a minute and right clicking did some channel effect in front of my character that was some mega souped up "Spectral Blade" skill from Diablo3's Wizard class (I haven't played D3 in many years)

Maybe I should take a break from Last Epoch 🤣

[onyx glen]

So is Ocearon/red ring 0lp still very valuable then? Since getting it is already uncommon

[bronze shore]

red ring is 50m

last 2 week is 15

[buoyant yew]

Hi, does generic fire penetration work for ignite or do i need special pen for dots?

as far as i remember fire pen dont applied to ignite or any kind of pen applied to ignite but you can always ask in the community section just in case

[scenic dock]

is there currently anything better for runemaster than the lightning claw build with frost nova? Its kinda meh for bossing it seems

[forest nacelle]

coould somebody teach me the ways of the filter? i set to show tiers and hide the low tiers but they still show up

[ionic siren]

if u can get lp on your weapon, you can slam a spell cost reduction affix on it, that would help

[minor roost]

still gotta get lucky with that right?

[minor roost]

i mean its always taking 1 of the four affixes and get stuck with a bs one most of the time

[ionic siren]

its a top-down priority list, so things at the top will always take priority regardless of conflicting bottom conditions

so if you have hide tier 1 at the bottom, but you have show "hp affix" at the top

it'll show the item

[minor roost]

as in T67 above else or lterally 1 strenght is above the 100% cold damage

[safe grail]

You probably want to be using runebolt over frost wall

[forest nacelle]

yes but i set to hide all tier 2 and below and they still come up

[safe grail]

Since you cant get the mana efficiency nodes as frostbite

You need a way round regen mana

[ionic siren]

yeah obv, but that wand isn't rare so you can probably find 2lp on it easily

[minor roost]

so change catalyst and regroup nodes from frost wall onto runebolt?

[safe grail]

Yeah

I wouldnt even be using frost wall in that build thch

[minor roost]

how is frost claw gonna sync on that btw since thats the dmg skill

[safe grail]

Tbch*

You dump mana w/ frost claw and spec runebolt to give you mana back on enemies hit etc

It’s really the only way to play claw w/o the mana efficiency node to the far right

[minor roost]

i see, ill give it a try thx!

[safe grail]

Np

Also

[minor roost]

yeh they drop frequently indeed thx il look for that aswell

[safe grail]

Mana regen is garbo in this game

You can’t get flat mana regen so mana regen % cant really scale

[minor roost]

kind of figured it got a whole mana thing on an amulet and and only 5 regen more or so lol

[safe grail]

Lol yeah

[bronze shore]

i like how people playing FC nova keep saying they have mana problem since they neglect the mana node to get nova on proc xd

[primal comet]

guys does anyone have a frost claw rune master levelling guide, all the build planners have legendary gear everywhere

[safe grail]

What node?

[crimson valve]

on my ignite runemaster I'm using an LP sceptre with -4 to mana cost and foot of the mountain, that's a combined -10 mana cost. But that would take away your boots which I think u kinda need for ur build.
Other suggestion is try to take away ever onward on frostbite and use frozen malice instead. that's -3 cost and the third cast doesn't hit the target last time I checked. it's just for more ward

[minor roost]

as fasr as i know i have the nodde with reduced mana cost

[bronze shore]

usually either
Spark of celerity or Gift of winter

since many build i saw always missing point on that

[safe grail]

He’s playing cold

[bronze shore]

when they have mana problem

weird

[safe grail]

He literally cant spec to spark of celerity

[bronze shore]

shouldnt have mana problem then unless he went into the multicast node

[brittle elbow]

A question can I start and do good with tier 6 int rols for frost claw spark charge or it must be t7

[bronze shore]

t6 is good budget

t7 is min max

[brittle elbow]

Ok thx

[bronze shore]

although u can try to t7 it whenever you can

[minor roost]

is that the volley of glass one?

[brittle elbow]

Of course but I just can’t find a single t7 int

[bronze shore]

node around on thorugh snow

[safe grail]

Ofc he went into all the multicast nodes

[minor roost]

yeh the boots are kidn of neccessary so far, but i will change up the catalyst since i dont need it for frost wall anymore whern respeccing.

[bronze shore]

normal cold FC or frostbite FC?

[safe grail]

It looks like it’s trying to be both so

Lol

Like he takes freeze multi

But isnt building crit

[bronze shore]

i think it a bad idea to spec into multicast node

if he doesnt lower the mana cost enough

since there not many source if he doesnt spec in spark of celerity

[safe grail]

Thats why i said he needs to play runebolt

[bronze shore]

i doubt 2 mana efficency idol will help

[safe grail]

So he dumps with FC then gains mana back w/ runebolt

It’s the only way to play FC w/o spark of celerity

[bronze shore]

that seems pretty bad if he build for frostbite

[minor roost]

ah i see like that to counter the mana efficiency

[safe grail]

He isn’t building for frostbite tho

[bronze shore]

ah then it good then

[safe grail]

Idk whT he is trying to do

[bronze shore]

brust dmg with FC and mana regen with runebolt

[safe grail]

@minor roost you might need to look at some guides my friend

Because if you are playing FC as crit, you dont build freeze rate multiplier

[minor roost]

just put me up with the link if u have one, i followed this guide a bit through another build. it has dmg but damn im struggling to stay alive cause of mana probs

[safe grail]

Uhh. Im on mobile atm

Gimme a few to find the one i know of

[minor roost]

most of the time i have no real clue what im building cause everytime im building something im missing out on some other parts

[minor roost]

ooh no problem take the time 🙂

i think im always struggling with some of the passives wich really can make a build u know. im simple minded in that as in - oeh cold dmg i need cold dmg cause the skill is cold

[safe grail]

@minor roost to give you some context, Frostclaw (FC) has like 4 build paths

1. Crit cold frostclaw
2. frostbite frostclaw (dot)
3. Spark charge nova frostclaw
4. fireclaw nova

[scenic dock]

is there currently anything better for runemaster than the lightning claw build with frost nova? Its kinda meh for bossing it seems

[safe grail]

It’s not meh for bossing you’re playing it wrong or dont have the right gear

[scenic dock]

compared to volatile zombie lich its a joke

thats why im asking if theres something which is more oneshotting bosses

[safe grail]

I legit have no problems bossing as lightning claw nova

Oh no lmao

Yeah we aint one shotting bosses here with these builds

[scenic dock]

rather than just being unkillable and pressing one button for like half minute depends on your corruption

[robust spindle]

I mean isn't static with 200 charges the most one-shotting ability for mages?

[bronze shore]

go play wraithlord if u want to insta kill boss xd

[minor roost]

yeh and most of the time i dont really understand how the skills play into eachother meaning im spending points in frostbite cause i think it wopuld be a good sidestat to have or something like that u know?

[bronze shore]

runemaster we play for style and boom boom

[safe grail]

Yeah nah. LE isn’t about building side stats to support things like that.

When you build into something like frostbite, you build into the stats to support it, but if you built crit, you dont build into frostbite since dots cannot crit

[minor roost]

yeh i got that earlier when trying out a first build i wanted to use but couldnt get it right.

Dot was great on it but surviveability 0

like poof ur gone lol

[safe grail]

@minor roost https://youtu.be/EXkPzApJUuc?si=a0oyyKE3O-TUNL0R

Build planner is in the comments

This is the build i suggest. I have played it and it works really well

Eventually it’ll cap out in terms of how fast it can clear in the higher corruption monos

[minor roost]

o damn yeh ill give that a try thx

im struggling on corrupt 170 atm

[tacit hornet]

thank you

[barren pawn]

hw the fekk do i get my blessings?

[bronze shore]

grind till you ded

[fickle saffron]

10 runs in lightless to try and get foot of the mountain. no luck yet

[mellow elm]

Run empowered monoliths over 200 corruption

[barren pawn]

?????

Corruption level should hve nothing to do with it

[mellow elm]

@ 200 the 5th option opens up.

So higher chance to get what you want

[barren pawn]

Why would i run higher corruption instead of just blitzing through no corruption though?

[mellow elm]

Empowered blessings are significantly stronger, but doing below 200 is fine

[ionic siren]

you should balance between corruption level & speed

if you can blitz thru 200 corr, go for 200 corr

if you're too slow at 200 corr then stay at lower

[mellow elm]

^ truth

[barren pawn]

you still get empowered blessings from non coprruption normal empowered monos though no?

[spare sky]

is frost claw considered channeling?

[mellow elm]

No empowered blessing come from empowered bosses and empowered timelines start at 100 corruption baseline

[mellow elm]

Look at the tags on the skill

[peak axle]

Hello Mages! 👋

Ok so I'm a brand spanking new Mage (going strong at level 4 atm lol)

As usual I'm about to test something new and I'm very excited to test the Mage class to see what it can do! 🙂 and I want to have tried atleast each class once. Now I have tried all classes except the Mage, not because I dislike the class in anyway, but because I have trouble choosing Mastery.

I'm either gonna focus on Cold or Lightning build with "Frost Claw" as my main focus of damage, I will also be using "Frost Wall", that's all I know so far, which is kind of vague I know, but I still want to know your opinion on which mastery would suit best for that kind of build?

I mean Runemaster looks very appealing with the increase in Elemental Damage and Cast Speed, but since I only plan to use one element, is it really worth going for Runemaster since I will not be using Runic Invocation? Or should I just go Sorcerer, even though I will not use Meteor? Spellblade doesn't look appealing at all so it's either Runemaster or Sorcerer!

Again, which mastery would you choose based on what I wrote above and most importantly why that particular mastery? Many thanks in advance!

-ℭ𝔞𝔯𝔫𝔞𝔤𝔢

[mellow elm]

Lots of builds are fun, I'd recommend leveling with lightning blast personally.

Runemaster is the most OP right now if you want to go over 1k corruption. Otherwise you can farm empowered with almost any mage build

[peak axle]

One thing I forgot to mention that is super important(to me anyway) and I cannot underline or stress this enough and with all due respect, I don't care if the build is meta or absolute rubbish. I need to find a build that suits me, which may take a few respecs and I'm ready and prepared for that.

What I cannot reselect is the mastery which is why I'm so careful and want to know which one I should go for whilst mostly using Frost Claw as my main source of damage hehe.

[mellow elm]

Yea totally agree! Skip metas. LE builds are so approachable. I didn't use a guide and it's been great. I've played 5-6 different skill set ups. If you want to do frost claw damage I'd vote for RM, it directly buffs it

[next lance]

does anyone know how 2 check how lnng your chat ban is?

[onyx glen]

Runemaster is very well designed right now for a lot of different and viable builds

[peak axle]

Yeah absolutely and that's probably the best thing about this game. There are so many combinations of abilities and converting to different elements that completely changes how the class and mastery works. Pretty much anything and everything can work for the most part if you put your heart and soul into the build 👍

Ok so Runemaster seems to be the mastery to go for and I was kinda leaning towards it aswell. Thanks for the input guys! 🙂

[next lance]

I can't seem 2 figure out how long my chat ban is

[viscid vigil]

does anyone have a random rune runemaster build/guide they recomend? (efficient experiment node in runebolt tree)

[mellow elm]

Guide for what? Leveling?

[viscid vigil]

endgame fun build where i cast random rune invocations

[mellow elm]

Ah well random rune invocations would be tough, they are so varied. Some do damage some are defensive only

[viscid vigil]

Yeah. I'd imagine as much cast speed as possible and spam random invocation, but I was getting at this for fun

[mellow elm]

I'd recommend looking at LE tools for builds that use rune bolt. Here's a link to exactly that.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/filter/skill=fire_runebolt&mastery=runemaster

Sorry I might have misunderstood, you want a runic invocAtion build or rune bolt?

[viscid vigil]

Sorry idk what im saying either.

Before I had played this game, I had seen a build where someone would cast runebolt with randomization on it (casting lightning blast did not directly give you a lightning rune, etc). The cast runic invocation when you had 2-3 runes to cast a completely random invocation. obviously it wasn't efficient and meta, but it was/looks fun.

I assume this was accomplished with "Efficient Experiment" and maybe "Focused Runewords" in the Runebolt skill tree

[urban python]

Look at the wild magic build on youtube

Exactly what you're asking about

[teal oasis]

I like that you signed your name at the bottom lol

[viscid vigil]

found it, thnx

[peak axle]

Yeah autographs will be signed in the End of Time later today :P

[sturdy summit]

is 1lp twisted heart enough, or do I need 2+?

[teal oasis]

Will be there.

[crimson raft]

1lp TH with the wanted affix is good enough. 2LP is the tryhard version 😄

[sturdy summit]

ty!

[orchid basalt]

can someone link me a solid frost claw build? ty

[fervent parcel]

Does the Overcharged Detonation on static orb apply to tendrils too? or to the smaller balls from Scatter Blast?

[next lance]

HOW DO I get into liath's tower?

[heavy vine]

do "more damage" nodes in the black hole tree like "catalyst" and "event horizon" apply to damage over time applied by black hole? like ignite?

[sturdy summit]

use the door after talking to liath

[sturdy summit]

does it say do more damage with spells, or just more damage?

[sturdy summit]

if it's more damage with spells, it's only spells, and ignite is not a spell. More damage without qualification means everything.

[frank hinge]

I am trying to create a fireball/Aergon's Greater Fireball runemaster build. I know it is off meta, but I still want to create as potent a build as I can. Build so far is here: https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/oR6wJ2No

Still need to figure out what I should use as my last skill slot. Thinking of potentially firewall or glyph of dominion or volcanic orb.

[sturdy summit]

static orb or lightning bolt. Since fireball doesn't help your ward generation, you might want to pick up something that lets you get permanent lightning aegis

[heavy vine]

that clears it up, thanks

[sturdy summit]

especially if you're not using frostguard, you need that extra DR layer from lightning aegis. Flame Ward is good, but it's not 100% uptime.

[peak axle]

Can someone here link a good up to date "Frost Claw" build for the Runemaster that does not use Runic Invocation please? Or is there even such a thing?

[sturdy summit]

why don't you want to use runic invocation?

[peak axle]

Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I'm gonna focus on one element either Cold or Lightning, so I don't see a use for that ability. So why even go for Runemaster then? Well for the passive Elemental Damage and Cast Speed.

[sturdy summit]

30% increased elemental damage is very small. That's not More Damage. It adds to all your other increased damage. The reason you use runic invocation is because you don't need all your abilities to deal damage. You only really need one or two damage skills, and the others should be there to support your build.

[teal oasis]

He’s cracked the code

[teal oasis]

I use frost claw, nova, flame guard, and that fire rush thingy

[hollow arrow]

cracked the code

[teal oasis]

Works out nice for my firey lightning build

[sturdy summit]

fiery lightning would be easy to pick up plasma orb, although the invocation I think is the best one is Reowyn's Frostguard. 30% Less Damage, 100% uptime, 0 mana

CFC

[hollow arrow]

lets see if we can get another red ring for cheap

[peak axle]

@sturdy summit Yeah you will have to excuse my newbieness my Mage is at level 7 atm so my experience with the class is "limited" to put it mildly, BUT that's why I'm here, to learn! 🙂 And thanks for the clarification btw. I was gonna spam Frost Claw as my main source of damage, but perhaps that's not idéal as Runemaster without Invocation? Idk :/

[sturdy summit]

all those popular spark charge builds are pure lightning, but they use CFC because 30% less damage is crucial for surviving damage at high corruption. Since you're level 7, you don't really have to worry about that yet, but it sets an example for how you can afford to have 3 of your skills not do damage.

so, you should continue to use frost claw, that's a good spell. But you should also use invocation.

the damage invocations, the good ones still only deal one damage type even though they might use mixed runes, btw

there are some with mixed damage, but those are the bad ones

[hollow arrow]

ngl it was confusing for me as well, but as you start playing you'll get used to the terms and how it works

but know that these guys wont steer you wrong, they've helped me ALOT with mine since i've started

[sturdy summit]

and it's easy to turn your flame ward into whatever rune you need. You shouldn't care about Flame Ward's damage. It's valuable for the damage reduction.

or if you like flame rush, you also don't care about its damage

so turn it into whatever element you need

[peak axle]

Ah I see and yeah as I level maybe I'll get used to the ability but it seems, atleast on paper with so many combinations, to be extremely difficult to learn. Yes I know I don't have to use all combinations, but I'm worried to say the least hehe.

[sturdy summit]

while there are exceptions, people will typically pick a single invocation for their build to use, and only use that one. The Immutable Order node allows you to lock in your runes to always appear in the same order.

[peak axle]

That sounds like something I can get used to 👍

[sturdy summit]

yeah, give it a try and see if you find any invocations you like, and see if you can build around them.

or if you don't, just grab frostguard, because it's good to support any build that's not invocation-centric.

frostguard is seriously the best invocation, because it keeps you from dying

and it can fit into any build

[peak axle]

Ok I'm actually even more excited to test the Runemaster mastery ability now, but first things first, onwards to level 8! lol

[sturdy summit]

good luck!

[peak axle]

Cheers and thank you for the information and encouragement! 🙂

[fiery fox]

first try 2 lp jungle chaps lets gooooo

[tough jay]

is trying to slam +2 frost claw on 1lp heart of ukheiros bad idea? cant find relic with at least +3

[peak axle]

Ok so I'm kinda back to square 1, with finding a guide. Since I want to learn Runemaster the proper way from the beginning, I need a guide with Frost Claw as the main damage dealer to show me how to play the class/mastery as efficiently as possible. However there are so many guides on Youtube and lastepochtools etc. etc. and I don't know which one to follow... any recommendations?

[tough jay]

MacinBrzeski on yt is best with this build, but you must dig info yourself too, i dont see any easy guide for this exact build

[orchid basalt]

[tough jay]

same, im new into arpgs, i dont know much myself

but its somehow fun learning these things

[orchid basalt]

i was wondering since i dont see that it will trigger on frost claw

[sturdy summit]

Here's my build. It's not perfect, but it will take you at least to 200 corruption, and it's good for levelling: https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/BGzaV62Q

glyph of dominion can be replaced with whatever skill you like. I only have it because I got a +5 skill bonus to it.

it's no guide, but I'd be happy to answer questions about it instead.

[hoary basalt]

Just mage things - Takes off laddle at lv 50 puts on a decent wand gets +10k dps. Lagon still couldn't stop me. I spanked him with that spoon like he was a teenager skipping school. - Yes, I know... there are better parenting techniques. For humerous reasons, this is a joke.

[sturdy summit]

mad alchemist ladle isn't great with low LP. It only starts to shine when you can get 2LP with the right slams

[hoary basalt]

pfft this isn't one LP :p

[sturdy summit]

you said level 50, so I assumed it's 0 lp :p

[hoary basalt]

😄 it's got decent eletrify and frailty but haha I'm mostly doing fire/cold >.<

[next lance]

new char have guils unlocked from the start right?

[sturdy summit]

guils?

[next lance]

guilds*

[sturdy summit]

there are no guilds

item factions are not guilds, but if that's what you're thinking of, you get those around level 55

earlier on alts

[next lance]

new chars have those unlocked from the start right?

[sturdy summit]

no

[next lance]

just made a new char and i joined one of the factions

[sturdy summit]

are you on an alt?

[next lance]

yeah

[sturdy summit]

yes, if you've already unlocked item factions, alts can join at the first town

[next lance]

how 2 access the faction after joinig?
`

[sturdy summit]

level 55

[next lance]

wtf so what advantage did i get from having it unlocked?

[sturdy summit]

you get the favor, and you get the rank bonuses from CoF all campaign

[hollow arrow]

can level it while you kill/do campaign

[sturdy summit]

and if you're MG, you can use the items you buy with your main

but on CoF, no prophecies until you get to the zone during campaign

[next lance]

oh okay what is hotkey to open and check it

[sturdy summit]

I dunno. Mine is F2 because I changed it.

[full hearth]

anybody have a frost claw runemaster build that doesnt involve nova the whole screen so cant see anything? as much as i love the build my friends dont 🤣

[ornate quiver]

y

[frank hinge]

What if I did plan on using frostguard

any cold skills to include in an otherwise fire build

frost guard has a pretty good uptime

just need to retrigger it every 15 seconds or so

[sturdy summit]

Spec lightning blast or static orb to be cold. If your main skill is fireball, your ward generation is worse than with frost claw, and the extra layer of DR is worth it.

[frank hinge]

good idea

[severe juniper]

Does Fragment of the Enigma only drop with LP? Its all I see on the merchant house vendor.

[next lance]

no way 2 change movement to right click?

[severe juniper]

Which of course I need another full rank to buy it that way

[sturdy summit]

0 lp is probably not considered worth using.

[severe juniper]

I would agree but it somewhat enables my build and my current catalyst is pretty bad.

Been trying to farm it in Stolen Lance for days

Horrible luck

[sturdy summit]

either people aren't bothering to put it up, or they're putting it up for 0 gold and it's selling fast

[sturdy summit]

try using runes of ascendence on catalysts to try to get it that way, if you have a bunch saved up

[burnt sandal]

how do i craft with a helmet with legendary potential and 0 crafting potential? it's boneclamor barbute, unique gladiator helmet, but it doesn't have any forging potential D:

[severe juniper]

Yea been doing that too lol. I will just keep farming, thanks.

[sturdy summit]

legendary potential requires using the Eternity Cache at the end of Temporal Sanctum dungeon. It doesn't use regular crafting.

[burnt sandal]

oooh tyvm

[sturdy summit]

make sure to read the article on how it works in the game guide. It will explain everything you need.

[burnt sandal]

okay! 🙂 i'm playing plasma orb, i found i like it a bit more than the frostshards one, i love the playstyle of using different invocations

[floral shoal]

is Liaths machinations a good item to make a build around?

[oblique kernel]

Hi all. Its time for me to find some mage build thats close to walking simulator. Done all other classes like that. And would love to get some tips on mage builds wich could work for that purpose 🙂

And if possible build that i can start leveling into

[quick aurora]

I have a Lightning Blast Runemaster question.
What are the advantages of using Lightning Blast manually with Mad Alchemist's Ladle instead of equipping Dragorath's Claw?

[burnt sandal]

where do town portals go in the end of time? i just town portaled out of the dungeon to grab the helmet and i don't know how to go back D:

[minor crown]

You leave a dungeon, you fail the dungeon I believe. I'm pretty sure it tells you that when you enter

[burnt sandal]

...... oh, crap

welp.... how do you farm temporal sanctum keys specifically? 🙈

i only had one key

[minor crown]

Unsure what level you are, but generally in monoliths I think

[burnt sandal]

ah i'm in monoliths yeah

i think level 63 or 64

[minor crown]

I'm 91 and... the best weapon I made so far (for my build) is a blue Temple Staff with 43% cast speed and 156% spell damage. The game refuses to give me Temple Staffs or any 2 handed staffs with decent rolls.
I'm half tempted to abandon this build at this point lol.

[barren pawn]

if you die in an echo are that echos rewards just permanently gone?

[minor crown]

yep

[barren pawn]

And theres no way to reset this?

[safe grail]

you will run oom using drag's claw w/o a proper setup

[safe grail]

you can reset/reroll them with a specific node

[barren pawn]

adym reroll

[safe grail]

check DMs in a sec

[barren pawn]

Honestly i think its a stupid system.

[minor crown]

Eh, you're doing them forever so not a huge loss really

[hoary basalt]

passive: cataclysm - increases spell crit chance?

is all crit chance - also spell crit, I see it separated.

[sturdy summit]

I think the problem with Liath's Machinations is that channelling is considered weak, in general

[hoary basalt]

Friggen POE passive tree levels of confusion here.

[safe grail]

there are 4 types of crit chance stats on sheet

[hoary basalt]

i still think they should change focus to have a cast while channeling tree.

[safe grail]

crit chance
Melee Crit
Spell crit
Bow crit

[barren pawn]

pretty big fuggin loss when im trying to target farm exalted wands and get one shot by one of a bajillion things then lose my rewards effectively forever unless i get to a reset node.

[hoary basalt]

Agreed Ex but the wording threw me off a bit non specific key words? I don't see crit as akeyword on the skills?

[sturdy summit]

look at the tags of the skills. Some of them say Spell. Spell is mutually exclusive with Melee.

[safe grail]

its going to be based on tags

so if a skill says melee, it'll take the melee crit chance

[hoary basalt]

unless 'spell' is the specification it's trying to clarify that yes they are separte.

[safe grail]

yeah

[minor crown]

I mean, if you're punching above your level...
And the reset node doesn't reset to what it was. It completely resets the thing randomly

[safe grail]

so for instance, lightning blast has the "spell" tag so it will use spell crit

[hoary basalt]

Okay so it is separate that's what I had been thinking but I just wanted to ask for clarity, thank you.

[sturdy summit]

similarly, Cast Speed applies to spells, while Melee Attack Speed is melee

[oblique kernel]

so does mages have any 1 button lazy builds like other classes have?

[sturdy summit]

frost claw

[hoary basalt]

Okay no no I was just double a double think like 'how do I add the crit tag'

[hoary basalt]

static :p

meteor?

[barren pawn]

" punching above your level " No.

[sturdy summit]

the closest to a crit tag is actually a No Crit tag, and it's called Damage Over Time

[barren pawn]

Dealing with bullsh1t one shot sh1t? Yes.

[hoary basalt]

mmmm see! SEE! Okay that's what I'd been looking at okay okay thanks

[lament lodge]

my kingdom for an Enigma!

[minor crown]

Getting 1 shot kinda says to me you are. not judging or anything.
I've lost more nodes like that to the game crashing on me than getting killed

[next lance]

WHY ARE YOU UNABALE TO rebind RIGHT CLICK?

this is so infuarting

[sturdy summit]

ask the devs

[hoary basalt]

facts

[sturdy summit]

You know what's really infuriating? I just unbound right click, and I can't rebind it to Ability 5 because it's "already in use and can not be changed"

[hoary basalt]

But Cataclyms as a passive just adds crit chance ... for every 2 points +24% chance my spell crit chance goes up by 1% on the character. It's not really a part of my build but I was just getting a little thrown off by that... I feel like 'CRIT CHANCE' does increase spell crit chance.

[sturdy summit]

crit chance applies to all abilities

[next lance]

yeah i did the same thing prob gonna set it up using razer software now

[hoary basalt]

yeah

no I wasn't seeing it with only 1 point was the other part of my confusion

😄

[sturdy summit]

Did I just screw myself over by testing that?

[hoary basalt]

like I said not a big part of my build so far

[next lance]

yes gotta redo all keybinds

[hoary basalt]

uhoh

[nimble shoal]

Every 20% increased crit is 1% additional total crit if you have no +X% crit chance, since the base is 5% crit chance

so depending on how much you already had and how it rounded, you wouldn't always see a change for 12% increased chance

[barren pawn]

sh1ts dying fast as fekk sooo

[hoary basalt]

somebody tell the rng that I'm playing a sorceror

so many +1 /2 runic invocations

[minor crown]

Can I have some?

[hoary basalt]

uhm shoot I should really level merchant before complainign about drops shouldn't I 😄

[minor crown]

Actually I need the right gear for my build first..
Oh no, I can't have any. I play self found

[hoary basalt]

😄

[sturdy summit]

oh yeah? I'm over here hoping for +4 Frost Claw and getting +4 Flame Reave instead.

[hoary basalt]

whoa whoa WATCH OUT we got a BAD ASS over here 😄

Flame ... reave

ugh which one is that why are all thsse fire skills so similar

rush

[sturdy summit]

that's a spellblade skill

[hoary basalt]

I like the rush version of flames

[sturdy summit]

flame reave

they shouldn't put the name of the element in the skill if they're going to let you change its element :p

[hoary basalt]

You know what bums me ... about mage with all the massive amount of elemental conversions? The icons don't update.

[sturdy summit]

the icons updating would be nice too

[hoary basalt]

If I make my flame rush into lightning please change it to a purple icon. This is 2024 come on.

😄

[sturdy summit]

also, don't call it flame rush

it's lightning rush now.

[minor crown]

Curious question...
Is it better to to farm blessings and level 100 before really targeting gear (presuming you can manage level 100 emp echos? with marginally decent gear)

[hoary basalt]

Static Rush?

Eletron Rush?

[safe grail]

yes

get blessings first

[hoary basalt]

Zappy Fwoosh?

okay done messing around with my passive I'll stop being quite so silly now

[sturdy summit]

level 100 is pretty irrelevent. Empowered starting 80, and push that corruption to as high as feels comfortable. But do that while going arround collecting blessings.

[wheat gyro]

when does the new season start

[sturdy summit]

not announced

3-4 months

[neon lynx]

this one just started

new one aint comin any time soon lol

[wheat gyro]

when did it start ?

[minor crown]

about a month ago?

[sturdy summit]

when the game released

[wheat gyro]

ohh

[karmic folio]

Can i cast teleportation while Arcane Ascendance is active without interrupting it?

[sturdy summit]

what does arcane ascendance say?

or better yet, why don't you try it?

[hoary basalt]

just a second ... I think so

It shouldn't interrupt it - you may have taken the passive that ends it after a # of spells cast instead of a time duration?

[karmic folio]

i still havent chosen my mastery, my decision kinda depens on that interaction

[hoary basalt]

it's a toggle.

Honestly I think Sorceror is kind of so so ...

[sturdy summit]

if your decision depends on that one interaction, you should go runemaster instead

[hoary basalt]

^

[karmic folio]

if i dont like it i can still make a new char and go runemaster

[hoary basalt]

runemaster is more forgiving I think

[sturdy summit]

yeah, you could always make a new character

[hollow arrow]

what boots should i use for RM FC build

[sturdy summit]

frostbite or crit?

[hollow arrow]

saw blood of the exile is supposed to be better than the mirage ones?

nah electric

crit

im doing uhhhhhhh macins? i think the name is

he has mirage in his build planner, but i heard other boots may be better

[sturdy summit]

I see one person using Blood of the Exile

3LP

while another recommends Foot of the Mountain

[snow wraith]

can anyone comment me on this build https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/QJWppdWB what to change to get even more dps and even more mobility

[turbid linden]

Yes you can! I'm running arcane ascendance, teleport and disintegrate. all damage in fire

[hollow arrow]

gotcha thanks phili

i'll take a look and see

but maybe foot of the mountain might work cuz of the standing still to kill most bosses thing

lmao

just wanna grab something and slam some MS into it so i can FR faster

might even use advent if it rolled t7 movement and int lol

[sturdy summit]

I'm currently using 0lp snowdrift. It hurts to use them without LP, but their frostbite pen can't be matched.

[hollow arrow]

yeah makes sense if ya doing frostbite build

i've pretty much got all lightning going right now in idols as well

might do foot of the mountain and try to slam a t7 movement into it

[karmic folio]

ok thanks alot

[hollow arrow]

only way i'd be able to move decent with it since it has just the main movement bonus, unlike blood which has 30% ontop of main movement bonus

see if there's any 20+ weavers for cheap lmao

[sturdy summit]

I love weavers will items.

[hollow arrow]

alot of 20+ ones for like 100k

might buy a few and try my luck tbh

[sturdy summit]

it feels like maybe 1 in 6 or 1 in 12 end up becoming really good items. Maybe those numbers don't have a big enough sample size, though.

[hollow arrow]

yeah true

i have a set of weavers that hit 30% movement i think

but no stat bonus

it's a good levelling item for all my chars

[sturdy summit]

amazing for levelling, and if you're really lucky, BiS

for some builds, at least

[hollow arrow]

yeah

if it got t7 movement and int, i'd be pretty set on that tbh

alot of movement spd and haste from when enemies die

if i can get a good % on it

hmmm 20/21's are about 100-500k

23 wills is 2m lowest

[winter crow]

if you want movement get blood of exile boots with ms slam

[hollow arrow]

yeah im lookin at them all lmao

i wanted mountain cuz most bosses you can facetank to a certain elvel

[tacit hornet]

i slammed t7 movement on my boots this morning, super fast

[hollow arrow]

but would be a t7 movement slam for sure

[winter crow]

if you plan going high corr, get t7 int and t5 ms on blood of exile

[wheat gyro]

can someone explain to me glyph of order please

[winter crow]

t7 movement is dps loss compared to int

[hollow arrow]

well mountain comes with all attribute + so

my plan was to buy a lp2 and try to slam ms and int

lol

[tacit hornet]

all i had at the time

[winter crow]

blood of exile has int and str

[tacit hornet]

i have 2 t7 int and t6 movement boots, will slam when i find a 2lp exile boots

[hollow arrow]

ye blood of the mountain most costly as well

was lookina round

but having 60%+ movement spd on blood would be amazing lmao

[hoary basalt]

they're fun

[hollow arrow]

i need to get a 2-3lp ladle as well lmao

[sturdy summit]

Glyph of Order means if you have a top roll at t4, you'll keep the top roll when you upgrade to t5

[prime fable]

Can u slam 5 affix items on legendaries

[sturdy summit]

you can, but the sealed affix doesn't count.

[prime fable]

Ok thnx

[silk maple]

any pointers on bridging the difficulty gap between completing the normal monos at 83 and attempting the empowered straight away?
normal was a cake walk, empowered are 1 shot city, my damage is fine but seems survivability has taken a massive hit.
playing a flame frost claw build as per fextralife guide https://fextralife.com/last-epoch-runemaster-build-guide-fire-claw/ sans runebolt in favour of flame ward

[safe grail]

fextralife? jesus.

[silk maple]

maxroll are too 'meta' and dull af to play

[tacit hornet]

maxroll is no where near meta

lol

[safe grail]

fextralife just a buncha corny weirdos that did twitch embeds

but anyway

[tacit hornet]

maxroll builds are so bad

[safe grail]

post your current build w/ an import

so we can see where your gear is at

[tacit hornet]

😭

[safe grail]

For Armour stats, we have these priorities by endgame:

Suffixes:
1000 Health
60% Endurance
80% Resistances
Ward Per Second (On Helmet)
Chance to Apply Frailty on hit (On Relic or Gloves)

ENDURANCE LMFAO

holy HELL

[silk maple]

yeah ive somewhat ignored that part 😛

[safe grail]

good on you lmao

[silk maple]

its my own take on it i guess

[safe grail]

no it's the correct take

endurance is fkn useless with generating ward

[silk maple]

is there a way to export a char 😛 will take a while to fill it all in

[tacit hornet]

yeshttps://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/

[silk maple]

well.. how neat 😄

first thing i noticed work on phys res

[sturdy summit]

are you crit immune?

[silk maple]

yeah its pretty ass, but its generally ele stuff that kills me tbh

mana is not 250 its 311, so something isnt quite right on the import 😄

[safe grail]

dont need crit immune

as RM

get 6/6 of the passive node is plenty.

[sturdy summit]

which passive node?

[safe grail]

mental catalysis

i'm sure maybe you need to worry about crit avoid later, but i have literally not had it capped this whole time lmfao

granted i've only done up to like 500 corruption so

[silk maple]

oh my int is quite low 😒 hadnt noticed that

[safe grail]

but done plenty of boss fights + julra + other dungeons and been fine

yes

[sturdy summit]

oh, wow, I totally misread what that passive does. I only read the effect on the bottom and thought it gave crit multiplier >_<

[safe grail]

your int is VERY low

[safe grail]

LMFAO

yeah it literally gives us nice int and then 48% crit avoid off rip

for a low 6 pt investment into the node

[sturdy summit]

wow, that totally changes what I think about that passive.

[safe grail]

we already invest 13 pts into the line

so another 6 points for all of that value is DFV

[unborn hamlet]

Yeah that's pretty much enough

Stun avoidance is low-key better later on

Cos everything and their mom will stun you

But there is no room for any unless you have like, T4 sealed suffixes

[safe grail]

jk i didnt see gloves

im dumb

disregard

set ring is trash

get an int ring

w/ stats you need

[safe grail]

the 8 points in decree of the eternal tundra you should shift those to ancient inscriptions

also shift the 6 points out of transcendance into sphere of protection

you'll at least get CDR scaling w/ int then and a flat 6% DR on everything you ignite

@silk maple

[sturdy summit]

geez, now I need to get rid of all my crit avoidance, and I can replace it with some actually useful stats

[safe grail]

gonna change the game for you

considerably

lmao

[sturdy summit]

I should have taken that +18% all resists when I did corpse emperor last time

[safe grail]

i got 19 first shot and never looked back

lmao

[crimson raft]

16% and later farming up to 18% 😄

Another good option is if you just get a single res 70+% roll, which can just take the entire res of that type out of your gear 100% so you don't even need a suffix for it

[sturdy summit]

I got 75% cold resist from heorot first try. The best resist.

It didn't take it out of my gear, obviously

[crimson raft]

Nice 😄 Basically there's a couple res blessings like that, depending on the timeline, and they are basically a T7 res roll

[sturdy summit]

penetration on amulets seems like such a bad stat. It's great when you can get a specific pen for your class on body or head, but the numbers for pen on amulet are so low

maybe it would be more meaningful if pen weren't already one of my major sources of damage

[ionic siren]

how far can i go from the center of monolith?

is there a limit?

[silk maple]

wont i lose 100 ward/s moving out of this? because of the 5 bonus and im running fire , frost, fire rune

i've seen builds with 10k+ ward how is this achieved with ward on hit?

[unborn hamlet]

there is, but if u do the web correctly, (keep the memory echo for last) u can pretty much run 40+ bosses on the same echo web

[ionic siren]

I see, thanks

[sturdy summit]

I have trouble going farther than +14 base corruption on orobyss, although I think I've seen +16

that's how I measure how far I am

[ionic siren]

is this the best way to farm corr or is it better to do 1-2 bosses before orobyss

[unborn hamlet]

2 max 3 then reset

[sturdy summit]

you get diminishing returns on gaze after 2

[left tundra]

???? Last epoch enjoyer????

[sturdy summit]

10, 20, 27

[unborn hamlet]

u only farm the whole web if u dont want to push corruption

[mint silo]

people keep telling me my sorcerer that im trying to make vilatrias set work for is not going to be good (especially since I dont have the helm yet) at the end of the day are there any good sorc builds? glacier maybe?

that can run 500+ corruption?

[unborn hamlet]

the feel when i got +20 multiple times and now that the layout of the build changed, i gotta reroll for perfect poison res instead

anguish pain and despair

[ionic siren]

lmao

blessing farming, and corruption pushing need an overhaul

[sturdy summit]

I think corruption pushing is okay

[keen zinc]

Any tips on how to get + frostclaw level on relics? Been doing prophecies and farming at corruption 873, still no + level to frost claw drops

[ionic siren]

its really not, why do I have to push corr for each timeline separately, at least give me an option to copy highest corr

[unborn hamlet]

honest to god i would rather pay 100k gold per blessing reroll rather than farming for endless hours trying to get a good blessing

[ionic siren]

i spent 4 hrs today getting 55% armor

[sturdy summit]

I believe the typical response is "Good luck, that affix doesn't exist"

[unborn hamlet]

ive done the black sun boss like 60 times already and still only 68% void res

[unborn hamlet]

lucky mf

[ionic siren]

my other char I barely spent an hour so I didn't feel lucky with this one

[unborn hamlet]

my insider information told me to not farm it in monoliths

[keen zinc]

Is it bugged? Lol yea im startimg to think it doesnt exist damn

[unborn hamlet]

run soulfire bastion

[ionic siren]

oo good idea

[sturdy summit]

it's not bugged, it's just super rare.

[ionic siren]

it's super rare, and really expensive

[keen zinc]

Ahh okay! Prophecy + soulfire? Havent been doing dungeons at all

[ionic siren]

it's like 50 mill for a t7

[unborn hamlet]

imagine being MG

i feel bad for yall

anyway, yea Soulfire bastion apparently drops plenty of class specific relics

[silk maple]

ive had a few drop with +frost claw in 100 corruption stolen lance

[unborn hamlet]

like +claw + ward etc

[ionic siren]

MG Supremacy

[sturdy summit]

oh really. that is good intel!

is it from the soul gambler?

[safe grail]

go away.

[sturdy summit]

or just random drops?

[ionic siren]

yes

[unborn hamlet]

not sure, im yet to attempt it

i was watching BootyNoodle´s stream and he was talking about that

and i kinda trust him seeing what builds he puts out 😂

[sturdy summit]

hey, I have a stash tab full of keys. it's worth testing out.

[unborn hamlet]

ye, hopefully ill be back gaming on monday

gotta buy new thermo-paste cos LE destroyed my PC fr

[sturdy summit]

oof, that sucks

[unborn hamlet]

i mean it was about time, last time i changed it was a year ago

which is not good for Laptops

but unfortunately im loaded with work so i dont have time to actually go buy it until monday

[sturdy summit]

that's probably why my laptop is overheating, too. The fan that died doesn't help either. I've been using geforce now rather than replacing it, because I'm lazy :p

[ionic siren]

i should check him out

[unborn hamlet]

if im just standing in town its ok, but as soon as i start doing monolith its 90+degrees upwards until it overheats completly even on max fan settings

[sturdy summit]

when mine overheats, it doesn't stop working, but it starts to degrade performance until it's practically unusable.

[unborn hamlet]

i have a failsafe at 95degrees

it just bluescreens my PC and restarts

[sturdy summit]

lol, mine is idling at 94 :p

[unborn hamlet]

bru that aint good xD

[sturdy summit]

seriously

[ionic siren]

my old laptop melted

I just closed the screen and went to work, unknowing that I made closing the screen not do anything instead of going to sleep

I came back to the edges melted

it became a detachable monitor at that point

[safe grail]

@bronze shore how many enigmas did you go thru tryna get cast speed?

[rare hare]

guys, I am thinking about rerolling again from warlock haha, how fun and good is shatter strike spellblade? I kinda looking for some good visual build

[unborn hamlet]

if u dont mind being underpowered af

[safe grail]

it's going to be incredibly underwhelming

[unborn hamlet]

spellblade just drew the shortest stick in the game

[crisp geyser]

is there a sorc build that attacks fast enough for twisted heart?

[ionic siren]

you can play RM Frost Nova Conflux or whatever its called for screen cancer build

[sturdy summit]

mage really is the runemaster road show

[rare hare]

ah, not sure about that haha. But I kinda cant decide what to play, warlock and runemaster looks so far coolest, but I have dps struggle on runemaster and on warlock, I cant decide on build haha

[ionic siren]

I'm doing it with Sorc and I'm breezing thru 300 corr, hoping I'd be able to play at 1000+ with this build

[earnest marten]

Any cool build with staff? Feels like its pretty underwhelming when i saw the unique staff list

[safe grail]

uh

plasma orb w/ reowyns is the only i know of

[sturdy summit]

not only that, but runemaster has a great passive that uses catalyst

so any staff has to compete with mental catalysis

[rare hare]

can I somehow insert my build into tools from database so anybody can check my build? I kinda struggle on my runemaster to do dmg in empowered monos

[sturdy summit]

lastepochtools build planner has an import function

[ionic siren]

lastepochtools has an import function

^

[rare hare]

where I can find that, I think I am blind 😄

[ionic siren]

hold on lemme link it

[rare hare]

ah nvm, build planner and there is import

[ionic siren]

ye

[rare hare]

this his my build https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/Q9Jq6jnB its very scuffed, but I rerolled around 70 according to maxroll and I have very big problem with dps in empowered. Its mostly about barrage taking my mana and then missing half of the mobs

Don't cast ice barrage from frost claw. If you want to use it, cast it manually

[rare hare]

ah really? I feel like its only damage I do, when it procs

[warm hearth]

Hi! I'm using runebolt, specced as only frost but when I use it I get a fire rune from it sometimes. Is there something I picked that may have caused this behavior?

I see a lot of issues with the build you have,
1- conflicting skill choices, you're casting barrage thru claw but have it in skillbar, same as ele nova.
2- not enough mana for all the skills you're casting
3- too many wasted stats with all resistances way over the limit

[sturdy summit]

you appear to be going crit rather than frostbite. If you're going crit, make sure you have max crit. Take the nodes that add base crit to frost claw, for example.

[rare hare]

I think its showing wrongly, I dont have it in bars. I am actively using frost claw, runes for frost shield, movement fire skill and frostwall and that barrier

[ionic siren]

ah okay my bad

I misread the discord popup for the build

[rare hare]

ah alright. I liked the playstyle of proccing frost nova, but so far, its slog to play. So it seems like maxroll is not really good source 😄

[sturdy summit]

yeah, you have to click on the link to see the equiped skills

[sturdy summit]

maxroll is indeed not a good source, beyond the very basics, however, frost nova on frost claw is good.

at least it should be doing you fine at 100 corruption

[ionic siren]

keep nova on frost claw, but remove the barrage it, don't cast it either, if you're going for frostbite frost nova is enough

[rare hare]

I neeed to farm 100 corupt yeah, to lvl up my merchant guild so I can buy some basic gear. I luckily sold some idols and have 15M in bank now for some basic gear

[sturdy summit]

this is cold crit

[rare hare]

really? if my ice barrage dont proc, I do like 0 dmg to bosses

[ionic siren]

ahhh

I should excuse myself I'm misreading a lot

good luck lmao

[sturdy summit]

I think if you're going cold crit, you might as well consider switching to lightning frostclaw

and taking either static orb or lightning blast instead of ice barrage

[rare hare]

how it looks? I am effect ,,w hore,, 😄 I am mostly going for flashy builds haha

[sturdy summit]

one of the advantages of lightning frostclaw is you can still use frostguard invocation, but also add permanent lightning aegis, for another layer of DR.

[rare hare]

ah, thats sounds cool tbh

[sturdy summit]

lightning blast and static orb both have ways of proccing lightning aegis in their trees

[rare hare]

I liked ele nova procing around enemies on this build

which would cause flashes around enemies on map

[sturdy summit]

yeah, I love the chain novas. I use that, but I'm doing frostbite frostclaw.

and my boss damage comes from snowdrift boots converting my freeze rate modifier into cold pen with frostbite

[rare hare]

I did frostbite as leveling build and it was strong, but somebody told me I should swap to crit frostclaw haha

[onyx glen]

Booty has an ignite frost claw build that looks super intriguing

[sturdy summit]

It's starting to get a little hard at 200 corruption, but I bet the person who suggested crit frostclaw also meant lightning.

I'm looking for lightning gear to make a big switch to lightning claw even as I'm playing frostbite

[rare hare]

I am not sure, its like 1 week ago, maybe more.

[onyx glen]

The lightning frost claw is very fun, very mana intense though. And mana efficiency idols are $$$ rn

[sturdy summit]

I'm CoF, and I'm actively farming adorned idols with prophecies. Got a few nice mana eff and lightning damage idols sitting in the stash.

which suffix are the ones on market using?

[onyx glen]

Frost claw efficient with inc lightning damage above 300 mana

And then lightning crit

[sturdy summit]

oh right, the mana eff are ornate, not adorned.

[onyx glen]

The former is >2m typically

[sturdy summit]

I have 2 ornate idols with frostclaw eff and inc llghtning above 300 mana. T

The rolls aren't maxed on both affixes, but it'll do

[weary perch]

I can’t find idols for my LB build to save my life.

[tough mist]

anyone have a good spellblade build?

[onyx glen]

[tough mist]

ty!

[split yacht]

anyone ever played 2 runemaster with 52% cast speed? xD

[sturdy summit]

Does rune of refinement not work on exalted affixes?

[small aurora]

52% cast speed? why would you wana be that low

[split yacht]

i mean on staff alone 52%

[small aurora]

i couldnt imagine not playing with ladle, at least with my build

[sturdy summit]

using a staff means not using a catalyst, and catalyst is amazing, not to mention being able to use some of the amazing 1handers available

[split yacht]

ok man i mean a wand xD

[sturdy summit]

you keep changing the goalposts

[twilit stag]

My cast speed sits at 165% when I'm slinging as RM. Feels good but need it higher

Missed the smash for 50% more on the ladle 😪

[plain glade]

Anyone play on controller?

Wrong channel I guess

[tidal wave]

yes i do

[plain glade]

Amazing, how do you kite on non Spellblade?

[tidal wave]

hello fellow Mages - Is 2.3k Ward on idle, good?

[plain glade]

I’m running through on my Static Shock and have a decent bit of trouble kiting

I don’t die usually, but I always get extremely close to it

[tidal wave]

i use Flameward to give me Haste + Dmg to mana to help me survive

• i use Teleport with Buffs.

Not sure what you mea by kiting, because i can almost facetank anything hehe

Im Sorcerer*

[plain glade]

Ah, I approach this game by making characters based off of other characters first, then decide their skills

so on my Static Shock themed playthrough, I realized that all my spells aren’t really
