[tidal wave]

im not sure i understand what you mean lol

[plain glade]

Defensive

[plain glade]

I preselect spells before I play a character, and the current set is all offense

[tidal wave]

i use 2 defensive skills. Flameward and Teleport

[plain glade]

Was wondering if anyone in here has any tips for kiting

[tidal wave]

you need at least 1 defensive skill and a traversal skill

[plain glade]

nahhhhhh

[tidal wave]

then youre just gonna struggle and cry about kiting forever, lol

You cant run 5 Attack spells and expect to live at higher levels

[plain glade]

Though I am taking Flame Rush (for the lightning) later on, so I guess it is a traversal skill

[sturdy summit]

more than 2 or 3 offensive skills is a waste

[plain glade]

I’m not crying, I just wanted to know if anyone mastered it or knew of any settings T_T

[plain glade]

True, unless it’s for the r o l e p l a y

[tidal wave]

dont need to 'master it' - because thats not how its played. lol

if u like the way u want to play, then play it. dont ignore peoples suggestions after you asked for help lol

[viral nexus]

guys where can I check for a wrongwarp? I doing the 90 mono right now. Is there already a way i can get it? BTW im lvl 78

[plain glade]

ok

I shall master kiting then

[safe grail]

I've been goofing around w/ plain ward stacking and armor stack on lightning blast builds and

armor stacking is kinda nuts

[plain glade]

Wait, tell me more

[safe grail]

well currently, i have 50% base DR from armor before any procs

still have 440 ward retention

I shoot up to 60% DR when i use flame ward

from armor

I will end up squeezing out another 600 armor from flame ward so that will probably push me just north of 70% dr from armor

then couple it w/ the flat 30% from flame ward and 25% from aegis

[plain glade]

That’s around 85% DR if it’s calculated the way I think it is

[winter crow]

flame ward only lasts 3 secs, so keep that in mind

not permanent dr

[safe grail]

yeah

correct.

[plain glade]

Ye, up to 4 with the other perk

so it can be used to mitigate high damage telegraphed attacks

[safe grail]

my goal w/ all of this was to look at alternative ways to mitigate

instead of just flat ward stacking

plus it gets me using one of my favorite belts in the game lol

70% on the dot

this is all crap that people have probably explored, but i think a fair bit of it has fallen to the wayside

[strong plank]

My PC having trouble playing runemaster T_T

[plain glade]

Wait, is Runemaster more intensive or something?

[strong plank]

https://tenor.com/view/rip-rest-in-peace-statement-gif-23003820

[plain glade]

Haven’t finished any of mine yet

Or even started LOL

[strong plank]

Just tooooooons of aoe spreading around the entire screen

got some big drop from 120+ fps to screen lag

[plain glade]

Oh dear

It’ll certainly be fun lol

Gonna try a Runemaster with 3 utility / defensive spells and Runebolt / runic invocation

Nvm just checked, not rune bolt

FOUR non offense spells and runic invocation

[quick herald]

wait what is "increased relic SHARD drop rate"? Which is best to take as rm from empowered mono blessing?

[barren pawn]

cast speed doesnt apply to disintegrate right?

[sturdy summit]

it applies to how fast you start channelling, but it doesn't affect the tick rate of the dot

[onyx glen]

Wait till you see frost claw with ele nova

[sturdy summit]

when shards drop, it makes it more likely to drop ones that can be put on a relic

[onyx glen]

That thing is amazing and slows my computer

[spice gull]

Just made a ignite/reave spell blade. Am I in for a rough ride?

[keen nebula]

are there still any viable high corruption sorc build?

[sturdy summit]

spellblade is much better in a group than solo. Solo, they suffer from having a lul in their defenses between groups, and are at risk of getting one tapped before they can get to the enemy. In a group, that weakness is covered.

[spice gull]

Even with surge?

[sturdy summit]

I'm only saying what I've heard. I can't really back it up.

but what I've heard is that their ward falls off between groups, and that can lead to getting oneshot

if you think you can play around that, then give it a try

[latent steeple]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/AgentR/character/NotBroken hi friends, i just saw this build. where does the damage come from mainly? i saw on his gear he has alot of freeze stuff and i was wondering if that leads to more dmg anywhere somehow

[sturdy summit]

hmm, why is my message red

[opal citrus]

Best sorc build?

[sturdy summit]

I've heard that arcane ascendance is the best sorc skill

[onyx glen]

Probably had a curse word. Server is very very sensitive

[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?

[sturdy summit]

is penetration a curse word?

guess not

[safe grail]

@spice gull i can say that @sturdy summit is correct. even in solo scenarios, you can build up the best Spellblade possible and still need to basically never get hit

[plain glade]

Nah I’ve got a Spellblade at level 50, so far so good

[sturdy summit]

anything before empowered is a cake walk

defense doesn't matter

[plain glade]

My spells are Mana Strike, Shatter Strike, Flame Reave, Enchant Weapon, and Surge

Mana Strike generates insane Ward

[sturdy summit]

once you're at 100 corruption, only then can things actually kill you

[plain glade]

Shatter Strike as well

[north oak]

why do i need a boneclamor barbute helmet in the runemaster plasma Orb build. the mage mystic helmet is better ig

[queen gull]

For a new Runemaster build what should be my highest priority in terms of skills and passives? I'm not asking about a premade build or something like that, thanks.

[sturdy summit]

probably for ward per second from necrotic resist

[safe grail]

because you end up using fundemental criterion which scales your dmg w/ dex

and then you get int from barb whcih gives you more ward retention and dmg on the skills

[plain glade]

Between the Ward generated from Shatter Strike’s node, Spellblade Unique Passive, the passive node from Spellblade as well, you will generate enough Ward to outlive someone’s mother

[sturdy summit]

I really like frost claw, as whatever element you want to use. And spec it to cast elemental nova for you.

[safe grail]

up until you get to like 300 corruption unless you're playing a shield build or the frostbite build lol

[plain glade]

I’ll figure it out when I get there lol

[queen gull]

thanks.

[north oak]

so it scales with the body armor ? my current helmet got [+ 3 runebolt,80%incr. Elemental dmg,7%fire aura on crit strike,43%phys res,16 ward per sec, 10 void res

ive got full build but i think the helmet is better

[sturdy summit]

you'll probably want at least a 2 LP barbute

that way you can slam your prefixes onto it

[north oak]

yea is see my barbute has no lp therefore its weaker than my current mage helmet

[safe grail]

a 13 dex barb = 39% extra dmg on orbs.

[sturdy summit]

you'll see a lot of people use uniques in their build that aren't good unless they have 2 or more LP.

[daring geode]

anyone have a meta plasma orb runemaster build?

[safe grail]

plus youll get 8-13 int whcih will give you dmg for int tagging

[north oak]

yeah my barbute has 12 dex

[safe grail]

like you're looking at barb just based on the stats but need to understnad how the rest of the build interacts

[sturdy summit]

^

[safe grail]

since fundemental criterion gives you 3% more dmg per dex w/ gon runes as the 2nd rune

that means

every time you hit plasma orb

it takes (dex) * 3= addntl spell dmg

and also int * 4= addntl spell dmg

(i think the tagging on plasma orb is 4% for int? idk. someone correct me)

[languid tapir]

incoming potentially dumb question: If I convert Frost Claw to Lightning, Freeze Rate Multiplier becomes a useless affix, correct?

as in nothing will freeze

[north oak]

yeah id love to put my current build up somewhere to show but ig you are right to

[safe grail]

lastepochtools.com/planner

[sturdy summit]

I assume it would lose its freeze rate when it becomes lightning, but it doesn't actually say that in the node description....

it says frostbite is converted to shock, but not that it loses freeze rate

that doesn't mean it doesn't lose freeze rate, however

[languid tapir]

Right. I assume it still grants you ward if you take the node before the melee proc node.

[sturdy summit]

Yes, it would still have Freeze Rate Multiplier, but the question is whether the base freeze rate becomes 0

[north oak]

i can use all bis gear (without extra affix/suffix and idols) but i think that would be over all weaker

[languid tapir]

only one way to find out i suppose

[sturdy summit]

you definitely are going to want a ladle with at least 2lp

that's one of the items that is inferior to a regular wand before 2lp

[safe grail]

unless you're me and rip cast speed on a 1 LP

lmao

@north oak you're also using a lot of inconsequential items w/ bad implicits; jade amulet does nothing outside of the stats you rolled onto it,

The belt you have has like minion dmg and ET on it. relic is not very good, rings aren't good

like you can definitely use rares/exalteds in slots that have weak uniques in the build

they will net you more overall

[drowsy stirrup]

does % elemental dmg weigh less than % lightning dmg? Dmg estimate tool is showing the weapon with less Flat spell dmg and less overall % as higher rated

[safe grail]

additionally, you have runic invo on the bar twice and no flame ward slotted

[north oak]

yeah i was setting something up lol

[stiff crown]

In case he misses the key. It's twice as big

[safe grail]

lol ah

okay

are you MG or COF?

[north oak]

the lense thingi

[safe grail]

so COF okay.

[north oak]

yeah haha

[safe grail]

yeah i think a few things you can change would be like

getting dext on your rings

(or more of it)

swap the helm for sure

belt you want would likely be lightning dmg, cdr, ward gained on pot use or some other useful prefix

[alpine crag]

in the max roll guide plasama orb runemaster is there a reason for stacking physical and cold resistance??

[safe grail]

up until you get like jungle queen's

avoid maxroll

[north oak]

is it so bad ?

[safe grail]

and the reaosn likely is because of the use of mourningfrost boots

[sturdy summit]

Increased Elemental Damage rolls lower numbers than Increased Lightning Damage

[winter crow]

I sold my red ring and bought this, time to gamba 180m https://gyazo.com/10c339e7f3b5f2061bf68111e9f56b92

if I dont get int, gg

[safe grail]

when using mourningfrost boots +1 dex = -1% cold and phys res

[sturdy summit]

because it works on 3 elements rather than only 1, so you pay for that.

[alpine crag]

so thats why

[safe grail]

yeah

[drowsy stirrup]

so if i already have a higher % on elemental rather than single element, its better to go for elemental?

[safe grail]

quite a few of us in here that are experienced are not fans of the endgame guides on maxroll since they very rarely get updated

and/or aren't updated accurately.

[sturdy summit]

you might as well use the higher roll, but if you can find one with single element, you can hope for a better roll.

[north oak]

oh yeah that makes sense ^^

[alpine crag]

i agree that maxroll endgame not that strong compared to other end game

just do it because it cost less than a million gold to build

[safe grail]

yeah it's a good place to start

and then move away from it asap lol

[alpine crag]

cause some end game build i see red ring i cry

[drowsy stirrup]

you mind if i dm you item pic comp? cause esimated dmg on tool tip is showing the less % as higher dmg and i'm not sure why

[spice gull]

Can I just pop flame ward than surge in? Insta ward.

[north oak]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/oYEelP2o thats the only gear ive got (ive got 2 opal rings but they have crap stats)

go ahead

[onyx glen]

How’d it go

[winter crow]

I haven't slammed yet

im figuring out what other affixes I should get on a t7 int ring

[safe grail]

you can, but eventually it wont be enough.

[sturdy summit]

the DR on flame ward is a bigger deal than the ward. It's decent, but a decent ward in empowered starts at like 10k. 400 is a drop in the bucket.

[winter crow]

so if it fails, I get something good still

cuz its better than 0 lp

[safe grail]

you had twisted heart and weren tusing it? lmao

[spice gull]

Oh lol good to know

[safe grail]

holy

[north oak]

👀

[onyx glen]

Probably universally good stats for other builds, I’d be stressed

[winter crow]

yeah like I dont want to slam light dmg

and then be stuck with light forever

[north oak]

ive got like 15 chest with legi gear sooo...

[onyx glen]

Crit is probably safe

[echo lodge]

i'm looking for a fire build, what would you recommend me?

[winter crow]

oh ye crit is also good

[hollow arrow]

Do i use any unique gloves or just exalted ones with t7 int

[onyx glen]

https://youtu.be/2gzxZEEAWs8?si=PluV5-H_IjvBUXUy try this one

[barren pawn]

I give up on disintegrate man

[echo lodge]

ty!

[alpine crag]

also why do we need dex in plasma orb runemaster?

[winter crow]

and what defensive stats should I slam in case I get a suffix? hmm whats the best to slam on rings other than defenses

crit avoidance?

[onyx glen]

Crit bonus damage reduction if you’re aiming for it on a mage

[tight rapids]

How i can reach 50k ward with rune master i’m stuck at 6k what I’m doing wrong

[north oak]

.this

[onyx glen]

Hybrid health maybe?

[winter crow]

cant get that on ring

only crit avoidance

[onyx glen]

Ah rip just health from rings.

Yeah

[limpid mango]

Anyone try any fun builds besides hyrda, plasma or frostclaw for runemaster?

[onyx glen]

Elemental resistance isn’t bad either

[winter crow]

is stun avoidance good?

I dont need elemental resist, im so overcapped

[onyx glen]

100?

[sturdy summit]

you get that much ward by getting the best gear in the game and slamming it with the best gear in the game, and getting lucky on your rolls

[winter crow]

yes

[limpid mango]

Depends if you are using the flameward ability that procs it if you get stunned or not

[tight rapids]

Yes what is the stats the raise the ward

[winter crow]

im not using it

my flameward is raw flameward no points

[limpid mango]

Then yes it can help!

[onyx glen]

Rip. Maybe another resistance if you can remove elsewhere

Like necrotic or void

[safe grail]

i just saw someone in another LE group sell a pair of 3 LP last steps for 780m

my word

[sturdy summit]

cold resist raises your ward retention with frostbite shackles

[onyx glen]

Necrotic makes it good for acolyte too

And frost for shackle yeah

[stiff crown]

That's wild. I bought one for 15m lol

[winter crow]

the thing is my resistances get covered by omnis, red ring and blessing

[onyx glen]

Drop a blessing?

[north oak]

Tryed the new build: when i cast i loose life , my overall ward is lower than before and dmg is almost the same

by why is my life going down

[sturdy summit]

you're asking if stun avoidance is good, but first: are you getting stunned a lot and dying because of it?

[safe grail]

twisted heart @north oak

[hollow arrow]

ex

[safe grail]

twisted heart reduces your current life for ward

[onyx glen]

Nah he’s going for a 1lp red ring and looking for other good stats

[hollow arrow]

got t7 gloves with experimental and lightning resist

t7 int*

[north oak]

yeah but that makes me vulnerable

[sturdy summit]

ahhh

[hollow arrow]

seal the experimental, put in cast and a resist maybe?

[winter crow]

hmm I do get stunned often at 2k corr, not dying but its annoying

[hollow arrow]

only 37 forge tho

[safe grail]

that's what im thinkin

also wtf is this

lmfao

[hollow arrow]

hmmm

[onyx glen]

Frost and stun I’d go for

[safe grail]

DM me

[onyx glen]

Since frostbite shackle is so good too

[sturdy summit]

you offset the life drain with life leach. With Bleeding Heart, for example

[quick loom]

Theres a blessing and passives for that

[onyx glen]

Or various elemental leech from the sorc tree

[safe grail]

it shouldnt as you shoudl leech back w/ passives/stats

[north oak]

hmm idk i'm just lvl 80 maybe thats why

[quick loom]

Its based on dmg. Maybe thats too low 🤷‍♂️

[scenic dock]

what timelines are you farming?

[safe grail]

there is 6 points in sorc that you can put in to get leech for the element you are primarily using

[sturdy summit]

I got my first TH, 1 lp. I don't have a frost claw relic to slam onto it, but I want to use it while I farm for one...

I'm using an erased scroll with +5 to glyph of dominion right now, and using glyph of dominion 🤣

Should I switch?

[onyx glen]

I’d just use twisted

[tidal wave]

2631 idle ward is ok? i can sometimes reach 6-8k while fighting

[onyx glen]

But I also don’t really like glyph of dominion tbh

[sturdy summit]

I've tried to make it work, and it's got some nice utility, but it is also really awkward to use.

[winter crow]

mm would it be troll to get mana regen instead of crit/spell dmg?

on the ring

[north oak]

now i'm just confused

ive build with the maxroll build

maybe thats the problem

[winter crow]

hmm health regen = more ward from heart right?

[sturdy summit]

health regen is probably not as good as leech

[winter crow]

yeah, but im looking for good affixes to slam incase my int fails

rn im thinking of t7 int, t5 crit chance, t5 crit avoidance and t5 stun avoidance/health regen

I dont need any resistance

[safe grail]

Highly recommend not just following maxroll/icy veins/lastepochtools and looking at guides on youtube as well

[errant plank]

Just looted the ignivar head for my disinteg. build 😄 It has 1lp, should i craft it now ?

[safe grail]

they will help explain a vast majority of things

[safe grail]

@barren pawn why dont you tell him how Dis is going for you? LOL

[errant plank]

erg.... what do you mean ? 😄

[onyx glen]

How much health regen are we talking about?

[sturdy summit]

I think he's dissing your dis build

[onyx glen]

I’d lean stun avoidance over regen

[winter crow]

46 to 70%

[errant plank]

thats what i understood.... 😄 Im still lvl 70 and did in my first mono so .... i guess the build is still viable for me atm 😄

[onyx glen]

Ehhhh doesn’t feel worth

[winter crow]

yeah stun sounds better

[quick loom]

They just gave up on it. Doesnt mean you have to

[winter crow]

specially for high corr

[sturdy summit]

that sounds like it won't do anything unless you actually build into health regen. A bit of leech is going to be better.

[winter crow]

cuz I get stunned a ton

[onyx glen]

Cause you don’t want health regen on gear so % inc is meh

[errant plank]

nevertheless im lvl 70 and still have items stuffed which requires only lvl 20-30 or so... is it normal?

[sturdy summit]

before you get to empowered, you can't really tell if your build is good, because before then, the enemies aren't a big threat of killing you.

unless you really really mess up

[tough mist]

failed 5x +4 frost claw slams in a row ...and one of them was a 2LP 😦

[sturdy summit]

that hurts

[north oak]

yeah ill do so

[quick loom]

That would hurt

[tough mist]

ya i give up lol wouldnt really make much of a diff anyways other than 1 more point into mana efficiency

[barren pawn]

Come talk to me when you start doing empowered monos.

In no universe are you gonna be able to do em without getting your sh1t rocked

[still stump]

GUYS GUYS https://imgur.com/fWpBT8Q

[errant plank]

Well fact is with my own build before, i got killed a lot :S

[onyx glen]

You put a frost claw in there right now

[still stump]

I gotta wait for a +4 and int surely

so see ya in a month

[errant plank]

Al'right, thanks. I had hard time to kill lagon in mono lvl 85 w/o the two uniques.... Ive head now but i see i dont have amulet and completed the quest the other way.... am i stucked ?

[barren pawn]

Amulet os from soulfire bastion

[tough mist]

if youre on COF, it's not too bad to get t6/t7 frostclaws if you're farming on 1k+ corruption

[errant plank]

Mmmmhhh let me check...

[tough mist]

you can get prophecies pretty fast

[errant plank]

Ive 1LP on my head, should i craft it rn? Never did this.... 😄

[sturdy summit]

do you have an exalted to smash into it?

[still stump]

I am at like 900 and have seen exactly 1 +4 and that wasnt COF and I copied it and both slams failed into a 1LP

I do have a heart with +3 rn tho

[winter crow]

https://gyazo.com/f7fdf3d95dacd5514f3cfdbecd6d6697 nooo, rolled t5 on all stats but int rolled low 😦

[safe grail]

F

[errant plank]

What is this?

[sturdy summit]

exalted items are purple with a t6 or better affix

smashing is the slang term for fusing an exalted item with a unique to create a legendary. read the game guide article on legendaries

the game guide explains it very well.

[errant plank]

Ok ive exalted items

[sturdy summit]

woo, I just got a +4 disintegrate relic

[errant plank]

Any chance i gamble with Amber to get it?

[stuck fable]

so coc lb frostclaw or nova frostclaw?

[safe grail]

about the same. one may be more mana intensive than the other

[scenic dock]

what timelines are you farming and why?

[sturdy summit]

formosus drops shackles. that's a good one to farm.

I'm kind of jumping between timelines based on which prophecies I can get, however.

[latent steeple]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/AgentR/character/NotBroken hi friends, i just saw this build. where does the damage come from mainly? i saw on his gear he has alot of freeze stuff and i was wondering if that leads to more dmg anywhere somehow

[scenic dock]

main dmg is frostbite iirc

[latent steeple]

ohhh i see i see ty

[scenic dock]

the stacking damage over time on your target

[safe grail]

no it aint

he has crit gear

there's no way it's frostbite

if it is

actually dumb

lol

[sturdy summit]

yeah, that doesn't look like frostbite to me

if it were frostbite, he would be using snowdrift boots to convert that freeze rate to cold pen

which is the way that freeze rate becomes damage. I'm not aware of a different one.

[latent steeple]

is it even worth to have that much freeze??

[sturdy summit]

if you're going frostbite it is

but that person is not

[latent steeple]

o i see

[winter crow]

https://gyazo.com/df7e7506497bc532a2aa909c761331e5 do you guys think this is good enough to slam on a 1lp red ring? (yes 15 int sucks but atleast if it fails other stats are kinda ok)

[latent steeple]

wat r they cookin up then if u know

is it just straight up crit dmg

[safe grail]

humble brag

[latent steeple]

sry if these questions are dumb im new LOL

[winter crow]

im asking fr

I already spent too much trying to buy a decent fodder ring

[safe grail]

honestly, it hink it's fine

lol

@sturdy summit im wondering actually if he is stacking the crit chance to get crits on the initial hit

then letting the frostbite take out the mobs w/ the rest of the dmg

cause they are speccing heavy into the crit portions of nova, esp w/ 31 points lmfao

[sturdy summit]

maybe. it looks like some weird trielemental crest of unity build.

[stiff crown]

Do we know the stun avoidance calculation? Like how much value is that actually adding compared to flat HP

[safe grail]

sick cast speed tho lmfao

224 base

[sturdy summit]

where did you find this build? just by searching the site?

[safe grail]

o wait

he has frost claw sepcced w/ celestial

i didnt even realize.

[latent steeple]

o its rank 1 ladder for sorc LOL i was looking around to see what to do

[stiff crown]

https://lastepoch.fandom.com/wiki/Stun_Avoidance

Gotta bust out the Excel for this one

[winter crow]

nope, but didnt find anything else good

resistances are useless for me

[sturdy summit]

It reminds me of runemaster builds, but with the runic invocation swapped for Arcane Ascendance.

[safe grail]

yeah cause he's playing an arena build

no need to move

slap on AA and just yam casts away

[winter crow]

oh wait its actually useless LOL

[barren pawn]

which items give + ranks to all elementals or + ranks to flame ward?

[winter crow]

cuz it adds ward aswell

so 300 stun avoidance = 300 ward for stun chance

so its useless if I have tons of ward

[sturdy summit]

you said you're getting stunned though

[stiff crown]

Looks like stun avoidance is the same weight as max health and current ward. T5 HP on ring is up to 75, plus HP is ward. So... Useless

[winter crow]

yeah

[stiff crown]

I'm helping.

[wild sundial]

lol

[sturdy summit]

it's the same weight in the formula, but can you get a lot more stun avoidance than health?

on the affix

still probably not worth it

unless it's a huge difference

[stiff crown]

You can buy heart gives you ward based on HP, right?

[sturdy summit]

yeah, health is more valuable

[stiff crown]

Even though you don't need res, you can consider getting it for things that use the uncapped res if you use any

[winter crow]

so health regen then?

[sturdy summit]

health regen is also useless though

you're going to get what +2 hp per second?

that won't do anything

stun avoid is probably more useful than hp regen. can you not get health on ring?

[winter crow]

yes

I think you can get like 70 on t5?

not sure

[sturdy summit]

so you can get more stun avoid than health, but health is useful for more than just stun avoid

[latent steeple]

wait @sturdy summit forstbite shackles also gives frostbite so it is a frostbite build???

[stiff crown]

I said 75 HP on t5 earlier

[winter crow]

is 75 health worth a slot tho?

[sturdy summit]

no, people use frostbite shackles because it's good even if you don't care about frostbite. People use it if they don't even deal cold damage. Having your cold resist become ward retention is worth it. They use them with LP, however, not raw.

[sturdy summit]

it's probably worth more than either stun avoid or health regen. Remember, twisted heart scales from current hp

[latent steeple]

do u think that build is good then with a lil tweakin

i was tryna find a good sorc build to go into @sturdy summit

[winter crow]

or wait, I could get cold resist and that allows me to change my erased gloves to get t7 int + something else

[sturdy summit]

I dunno, I'm no expert on sorcerer builds, but that looks like someone trying to do a runemaster build as sorc. What level are you?

[latent steeple]

lvl 55 now ! i wanted to try something that ppl dont play as much LOL for funsies

[stable thunder]

what's easiet way to get a Heart of Uhkeiros? I been trying ascendany runes but no luck.

[sturdy summit]

I'm sure it'll be fine until empowered. No idea what will happen after that.

[latent steeple]

understood ty sir

[sturdy summit]

you can't get it with runes. It only drops from boss of reign of dragons.

[stable thunder]

So how I know an item can only be acquired from a boss?

[sturdy summit]

by looking it up on lastepochtools

[stiff crown]

You can check database website

[errant plank]

i thought ignivar head was the hardest to get but in the end the hardest to get is the amulet 😦 Ive no soulfire bastion key and so i need to run monollith boss and hope for a key right ?

[stable thunder]

Okay

[errant plank]

Yeah you right. But as per my understanding i have no guarantee with affix will be slammed and i need to go in specific place to slam it right ?

[sturdy summit]

all of that is correct.

Temporal Sanctum

[stiff crown]

Technically, if you have LP4, they're all guaranteed to slam. 🐸

[sturdy summit]

that's what people are complaining about when they mention missing their slams on really rare items.

[sturdy summit]

if you want a laugh, look up the chance of a 4lp twisted heart dropping. They have to use scientific notation.

[proper hawk]

they reworked stun avoid, it no longer is "fake health" for the sake of stun calc, it now subtracts x% from your chance to be stunned, you can check the game guide for the details

[winter crow]

spent like 30m on rings but finally got something that I wont feel that bad if it fails https://gyazo.com/faaf1b90a196922d4ccdbc5d9c7f266b

if I get 18% cold resist, I can roll another erased gloves to get t7 int + something else

[sturdy summit]

oh, so the article they linked is wrong

wait, of course it's wrong. that's a fandom link

let's see what LET says

[proper hawk]

imagine relying on fandom lmao

[sturdy summit]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/stun

[winter crow]

so its still useless

specially for me than I dont stack hp

[hollow arrow]

managed to finally get a good amulet

[sturdy summit]

getting resist ring is certainly better, that's for sure

[winter crow]

yeah its a win-win scenario

obv int is better

but other rolls are good too

let me slam and ill update

[hollow arrow]

gl hope ya get it

https://imgur.com/a/xO1r38S

new amulet i managed to make

it's not t7 but still pretty good

[winter crow]

https://gyazo.com/e395955b33ed982355fd9613cc765d61

[hollow arrow]

oof that red ring looks so nice

so many resists from one thing lmao

[winter crow]

could be int tho

[scenic dock]

how much did u pay for that lp1 altaria lol

[winter crow]

190m

and 40m buying rings to slam XD

got unlucky crafting

[scenic dock]

jesus, did you abuse the key dupe for that amount of gold

[winter crow]

no

I farm high corr and sell drops

also sold my 0lp red ring that I got from runes of ascendance

to afford it

[stiff crown]

Oof

Well, you miss every shot you don't take

[winter crow]

exactly

[onyx glen]

Still solid if you can drop resist elsewhere

And any build could use it

[winter crow]

the only thing I can replace is erased gloves

they have t7 int and cold res

I need to roll t7 int again and something usefull

my res are capped from blessing,omnis and red ring

[hollow arrow]

hmm, can the font of the erased ring turn out any good for RM build?

[winter crow]

dont use that ring

is thrash

use julra or ocearon

red ring if you can afford

[hollow arrow]

nah red ring im far from rn lmao

[sturdy summit]

erased ring is fine if you can get it to roll well.

[hollow arrow]

i got a no lp ocearon on right now

no exalted rings to try and slam int into julras right now

[sturdy summit]

the worst thing about dot builds is that they don't get damage from int

[errant plank]

Does it mean the build im working on (your path) will be a pain to get working for empowered? I fell like im almost there, should i prepare something else?

[hollow arrow]

oof

[sturdy summit]

you don't need red rings to start empowered. don't look at builds that have endgame items when you're not already at endgame

[hollow arrow]

what boosts dot then

im not doing a dot build, just curious

[errant plank]

I dont know what is red ring 😄

[sturdy summit]

no, I'm the one doing a dot build, and I'm lamenting that I don't get much from int.

[barren pawn]

it means youll be stacking armor and hp to the moon in the hopes that a meager 2500 ward keeps you from getting one tapped ( spoiler alert, it wont )

[errant plank]

haha ok, in the build on max roll, i wondered how the guy got all res capped etc....

[muted kindle]

there are so many ways to crutch your resistances

idols, blessings, and then gear

[sturdy summit]

passives

[errant plank]

good thing is that i just looted a soulfire bastion key 😉

[errant plank]

Only with passives/Idols/blessing we can have all defensive stats ok ?

[sturdy summit]

you can max your resists with just items, but then you can't use the item slots for something more useful

[muted kindle]

gear in build guides is precisely what it's named, a guide, the odds of you being able to replicate their gear with the same rolls entirely is unlikely

[sturdy summit]

yep. the point of a guide is to learn how to think for yourself, not to avoid thinking for yourself

[muted kindle]

i've had an absolute blast taking bits & pieces from diff guides and making my own take on things

[sturdy summit]

looking at one guide is bad. looking at a dozen different guides is good.

[still stump]

I swear If I die to those dinosaurs that die and leave fire circles on the ground one more time

[sturdy summit]

the rudest dinosaurs

[still stump]

I just dash in they die and I cant see anything cuz novas and boom

[hollow arrow]

still no frost claw + for me to use nova yet lol

[neon lynx]

Still don’t need +ranks to use nova

[hollow arrow]

yeah true, but then i'd have to not spam fc lmao

[onyx glen]

Truth

Getting the 40% mana cost for a third hit actually increases your mana intake

[sturdy summit]

I love how you can buffer clicking on chests behind teleport

click on a chest out of range, teleport to it, and you'll click it instantly

[hollow arrow]

is it better to use elemental tide or frostguard?

[neon lynx]

You can be completely mana neutral and spam fc forever without ranks lol

[sturdy summit]

frostguard

[hollow arrow]

i still dont have 14% mana efficiency idols for FC

but im getting there

for now my fc cost is 23

[sturdy summit]

do you need two and do they both need to be maxxed?

[onyx glen]

I have 2 11% and lack a decent number of the efficiency talents and am fine

[sturdy summit]

what's your fc cost?

[onyx glen]

Missing frozen reign and 3/5 spark of celerity. It’s at 26 right now & believe (not at computer)

[sturdy summit]

mine costs 14 with 1 11% idol

err, 1 13%

to get either route to spark of celerity, I'd have to not be using cold

[onyx glen]

Ahhh

But fire and lightning are fun

[sturdy summit]

I want to switch to lightning to be able to take advantage of lightning aegis more effectively, but that means replacing every piece of gear. I stack freeze rate multi and not int

but somehow, you're saying you have no mana issues with 26 cost, while I definitely run out of mana on bosses with 14 cost. 3/3 gift of winter

[fringe copper]

pro tip : dont run 2 frost claw nova builds at the same time with your friends. it kills the game

[sturdy summit]

do it while someone else does cold exploding ballista

[next lance]

imagine 300 cast speed as well for both

[fringe copper]

well that might also be a bad idea lol

[next lance]

not to forget spark charges as well from offcast and nova

[fringe copper]

yeah its all in the mix

[next lance]

im using 2 invoker static touch giving me 15 avg ward on hit

[sturdy summit]

I got Reowyn's Veil, and it should be giving 40 ward on cast, but it doesn't feel like my ward changed at all.

[tidal oxide]

why does mana strike remove so much of ward per hit?

[neon lynx]

Ur missing the multi cast nodes

[sturdy summit]

yes, I am. What should I drop for them. I guess it's frostbite chance above required, and shiver shell / veil?

[neon lynx]

Dunno

Never played cold

But multi cast = multiple chances to proc the mana refund

[sturdy summit]

I'll give it a try. Not a big change, and at this point, I get a lot more frostbite chance from other sources. Don't need the chance from the tree.

[neon lynx]

Those 3 bottom left nodes and 23-24 mana cost = infinite casts

[sturdy summit]

I already have 3/3 cold star. So I should grab On Through the Snow, Ever Onward, and A Crack in the Ice

[neon lynx]

Whatever the ones are that cause it to cast a 2nd and 3rd time

Idr the names

[sturdy summit]

but not the return cast?

[neon lynx]

Return doesn’t help ur mana at all

Some builds take it

[sturdy summit]

great, that's easy then, only 2 nodes

[neon lynx]

But think u need a bunch of points in mana eff for that

And ice can’t get those

[sturdy summit]

hmm

[neon lynx]

Dunno if intended or not. But those extra casts are how all the lightning claw builds are sustaining

[sturdy summit]

I should see if I have enough gear to switch to lightning yet...

[next lance]

not to forget the idols

[sturdy summit]

I have 2 idols

[neon lynx]

U don’t rly need a lot

[onyx glen]

Return counts as another cast I’m pretty sure

[neon lynx]

Int rings

Int gloves

[next lance]

2x13 foe me

[neon lynx]

Slams don’t even matter rly on uniques to start

[sturdy summit]

I guess I'll get all my ward retention from switching to int, so giving up shackles won't be that bad

[neon lynx]

I started at like lvl 70 with the nova build

And zero slams on anything lol

[wet patio]

does runic energy do anything for frostguard or is it just a travel node?

[sturdy summit]

well, you can use it to double cast, but it's not like, awesome

[wet patio]

im talking about the node before copied scrolls

[sturdy summit]

copied scrolls uses runic energy

[wet patio]

if i am just casting frostguard, runic energy doesnt do anything for it correct?

[stiff crown]

I believe it doubles the ward gain from initial and over-time, but not the damage reduction. So yes, twinning is great

[wet patio]

oh

i see now

im using the runic energy to increase the chance of double cast

im dumb

[sturdy summit]

you don't get the DR twice, but having frostguard pop an extra time isn't worthless.

[inner tinsel]

for the frost claw build, do u guys feel u have a low single targer dps? i was level 60, killing the normal monolith boss takes 2-3 minutes

[hollow arrow]

time to see if i can put int on these julras

[wet patio]

yea i see the reasoning for the double cast, just to get more ward from casting it. but i was trying to figure out why i was running 5 points in runic energy but it's just to increase my chances of casting it twice

i get it now

[sturdy summit]

I only use 3 points. 90% chance is enough.

it's not that great. There just aren't that many good nodes to get.

[wet patio]

yea

i have 26 points for runic invocation and theres really no where else to put them since everything else is damage

[sturdy summit]

it's really too many points for runic invocation.

[wet patio]

it

its just how it worked out. i dont have anything that is plus to runic directly

[stiff crown]

I use the 3 points, then the one that triples the runic energy

[hollow arrow]

whats the most reliable way to get the dupe runes

[sturdy summit]

CoF prophecy

for Runes of Creation

[next lance]

on nova there isn't really too many points so many good notes for frost claw

[hollow arrow]

ahhhhh kk

im on MG

[sturdy summit]

can you buy runes on bazaar?

[hollow arrow]

dont think so

[sturdy summit]

rip, cof op

(let us have this)

[hollow arrow]

lmao

[wet patio]

interesting. im gonna try that and see how it is

[hollow arrow]

got a 15 int ring, gonna dupe it and try to slam these two julras

see what we get

just need to get a dupe rune first then i'll do it

[sturdy summit]

I'm saving my creations for t7 spellslinger and t7 frost claw

[wet patio]

i just switched to running frost claw with mad ladle and enigma. absolutely blinding but the damage is insane compared to LB and i only have 50% crit

[sturdy summit]

are you sure you only have 50%? Is that what it says on your C menu or did you calculate it yourself?

frost claw has +base crit nodes that don't get counted in the C menu.

[wet patio]

well, just on my character menu

im comparing it to someones build who has 85% crit in lastepochtools. does the site calculate the nodes on that character sheet?

[neon lynx]

If ur cof no point in saving them

The prophecies are common and cheap af

[sturdy summit]

true.

[neon lynx]

I dumped 200k the other day and walked away with 200 despairs 50 creations and 100 ascendancies lol

[onyx glen]

I want more despairs as MG 😦

[neon lynx]

No

[stiff crown]

You missed the farming

[sturdy summit]

I still have a ways to go to finish rank 9

and then the runes will really flow in

[stiff crown]

T4 Temporal had daily bonus for despairs

I need more Creations. Already used like 5

I had a lot drop early, but haven't seen one in a while

[sturdy summit]

I love it when I build up a couple dozen prophecies for a single boss, and then when I kill it I get a loot explosion.

[wet patio]

that is what i am running. i just switched to it to see how it would perform

and even with some massive gaps in my gear it blows away my LB build that was damn near geared out

i cant see a damn thing though when im mapping

[sturdy summit]

would you use 0lp oceareon?

[wet patio]

dunno. im only using it because it's better than anything else i have. i dont have any good copper rings for more crit. this build struggles for resistances

and im messing around trying to get good rolls on erased which isnt going well

i get minion crap on every pair

[sturdy summit]

when I was levelling a paladin, every single erased item would roll freeze rate multi

[wet patio]

yea i dunno about these weaver pieces. there are just so many affixes that the chances of getting good stuff is very low

thing i might just run my eternal gloves for more defense

[sturdy summit]

It seems to prefer to upgrade affixes rather than add new ones, so you can kind of tell if you're going to have a good run early on.

[wet patio]

i wont make it to very high corruption with my defenses the way they are

[onyx glen]

My weaver gloves are kinda meh but rolled +6 stats and crit avoidance

[wet patio]

yea, if i dont get a reasonable first stat i toss them

[onyx glen]

I wish they were more offensive stats though

[wet patio]

it seems to go all they way to 7 almost every time before rolling a new stat

[sturdy summit]

I'm working on replacing my crit avoidance

[wet patio]

my LB build had insane defense but the damage was starting to feel pretty lack luster at 600 corruption

so i wanted to try something else and this build allowed me to use my enigma and ladle which i got very lucky with my smashes

[sturdy summit]

I'm falling off after 200 corruption with frostbite because I can't sustain my mana. I've been trying to get t7 spellslinger, but no luck. Maybe using t6 spellslinger is enough, though. I should try smashing a 1lp frozen ire with one.

[wet patio]

i smashed just a -3 mana cost into my ire and it drops frost claw to 4 mana

but the damage does fade fast though. the main reason i switched to LB

[sturdy summit]

hmm, that would be amazing. I've got a bunch of -4s and 1lp ires. I should get to smashing.

[wet patio]

yea, the -3 is definitely worth it IMO if you arent having luck getting a t6 or t7

it was a game changer for me to keep running the build while i farmed for LB

[hollow arrow]

https://imgur.com/a/Zua0GBf

too bad this didnt roll more int lol

[sturdy summit]

that's basically what I'm doing. I want to keep the build running while I farm for a switch to lightning.

[wet patio]

yea, smash a -4 and it will help a ton

[sturdy summit]

thanks

[hollow arrow]

i gotta get a +3 fc already lmao

[wet patio]

i just got one of those yesterday i think. it's getting another heart with LP on it that has proved to be impossible lately

sorry not the neck

the +3 FC

thats a nice neck though

[hollow arrow]

someone linked a +4 fc relic in chat earlier

the weaver one

crazy stuff lol

[sturdy summit]

too bad you can't smash that on a twisted heart :p

[hollow arrow]

ye

[wet patio]

lol

[hollow arrow]

next goal is to get a friggin cast spd ladle if i can

three so far failed to smash

1 1lp and 2 2lps lol

oh 20% to all resist, thanks undead dragon

now give me the relic

[twilit stag]

Same here it hurts so bad.

[grave iris]

lol getting a twisted heart is impossible...

[twilit stag]

My build is bricked w/o cast speed on the wand so they just go in the trash

[sturdy summit]

should donate them to charity. (CoF doesn't believe in charity)

[twilit stag]

No I throw it into the lava to appease rngesus

The plebs can have rare wands

[barren hollow]

i've tried to slam 14 1lp twisted hearts with +3 frost claw and not hit on any...

[hollow arrow]

oof christ

alright lets see if we can get t7 cast spd on ladle

i just want that extra 50% lmao

[mortal surge]

best thing to do is just to save 100millions and buy one on the mg

Took me 3 days to save it and i bought it premade

way easier like that

[barren hollow]

ye i might have to at this rate

buying all the frost claw stuff is bad

[stuck fable]

One up with acid flask to trap proc

[tidal oxide]

is shatterstrike spellblade impossible to play

[sturdy summit]

are you finding it impossible to play?

[obtuse creek]

does anyone have a solid build for mage into sorcerer? I can't find anything consistent online about it, I wanna be able to shred mobs of enemies and whip out a ton of DPS

[stuck fable]

used to be one of the meta.. but rm overtook it

[stuck fable]

sad to say.. play rm

[obtuse creek]

Would you happen to have a leveling build for it? Like I said everythings super inconsistent

[hollow arrow]

oof another failed ladle

[stuck fable]

you have 4 choices for mage going into masteries.. glacier, fireball, lightning blast or elemental nova

[late mauve]

I'm still working on leveling and have found Frost Claw pretty good. But I'm still pretty new

[sturdy summit]

frost claw is good. spec it to cast elemental nova, and spec that too, but don't put it on your bar.

then do whatever you want to support that core damage combo

frost claw casting ele nova will cover both your single target and trash clear needs all campaign

and far beyond that, too

[stuck fable]

you want to make ele nova zero mana cost though

[late mauve]

I'll do that. I had been following a maxroll build but saw you guys saying not to earlier today lol

[sturdy summit]

using a wand is a good idea, for the -3 mana cost

[stuck fable]

2 ways.. either go coc lightning blast or frost claw proc nova

[sturdy summit]

what does coc stand for?

[late mauve]

clash of clans lol

jk

[stuck fable]

cast on crit.. you need this https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzDsGYEYFYg

[sturdy summit]

oh yeah, I usually call that dragorath rather than coc

[tidal oxide]

trying hard to get it to work. tried health build, now moved on to low life at 3k ward.

but losing so much damage

lv82 and doing empowered but dying every other echo is no fun

[sturdy summit]

is that 3k idle ward?

or max?

[safe grail]

shackles, last steps, and wrongwarp from BFD boss lol

[sturdy summit]

Blackfathom Depths

[tidal oxide]

3k idle ward

[sturdy summit]

all at the same time?

[safe grail]

lol yeah

all 0 LP

[stuck fable]

why wrongwrap over exsang if going ll ward?

[neon lynx]

why not both

[stuck fable]

yah he missing exsang... it should be mad ladle over wrongwrap my mistake

[tranquil mica]

https://i.imgur.com/P4boZ8i.png what prefix would be best here for frost claw nova? crit chance? or lightning dmg?

[sturdy summit]

got my t6 spellslinger hit on 1lp ire, yay. I lined up my smashes in reverse order, and did the worst pairs first. I knew it wouldn't give it to me on the first try :thinksmart:

so I got it on the second-best one. I could try this again to see if I get the best as well.

[hollow arrow]

time for a break

made some progress but still need a good ring & ladle lmao

[sturdy summit]

wow, did you know you could use the movement from runic invocation to warp through locked doors in temporal sanctum?

when they're locked on both eras

[dusty steppe]

How many buttons frost claw RM requires?

[sturdy summit]

one, if you don't count cooldowns

does traversal count as a button?

[dusty steppe]

I dont count it

But thanks, coming back for work trip in few days and want to test RM, frost claw looks most interesting build right now

[sturdy summit]

you got your flame ward, and your traversal, and runic on cooldown, but it's just frostclaw spam, really

maybe you take a frost wall or something else for utility

[dusty steppe]

Iirc its not require any uniques but if I have some uniques its better?

[sturdy summit]

yep

there's lots of different ways to do frost claw

you can evolve as you get additional items

[neon lynx]

mans a pokemon

[dusty steppe]

Who had rn best frost claw build

[neon lynx]

google

[dusty steppe]

Thanks but that was not good answer

If I asked "`where I find" then it is yeah, but cuz I asked "who", its not.

[sturdy summit]

hmm, I can only get through SW to NE doors, not SE to NW doors. That's still a lot of dead ends I can get rid of.

nope, it's not the orientation of the door. It's just some doors work, while others don't

[forest nacelle]

Silly question, but when does the lightning blast become better than fire balls spreading flame? Im 42 and that spreading flame melts everything around in seconds, even without increased DoT 🤷🤷 while lightning blast has to be spamed endlesly to sloughter hoards

[sturdy summit]

I believe the point of lightning blast is that it can proc lightning aegis, which is amazing for staying alive once that becomes a problem

[forest nacelle]

So far the damage is incomparable and the both skills are at 14lvl

[sturdy summit]

do you have the nodes that make it chain?

oh right, the thing that makes lightning blast good is the Dragorath dagger, because then you cast lightning blast by critting with frost claw.

Dragorath's Claw. That's the item you want with Lightning Blast and Frost Claw

[forest nacelle]

Chain, closed circuit, 2x cast, tripple cast and spark charge. Yes

[sturdy summit]

get the dagger

[forest nacelle]

But the its just suplement for the frost claw 🤷

[sturdy summit]

yes, that's the point.

the point of lightning blast is to proc lightning aegis

[forest nacelle]

Was wondering if thr skill alone outshines the other skill node 😅

[sturdy summit]

lightning aegis outshines a lot of stuff

[forest nacelle]

😅😅

[sturdy summit]

you could also get aegis with static orb instead

[forest nacelle]

"the way to immortality- not dieing" 💩

[sturdy summit]

live forever or die trying

[forest nacelle]

🤣🤣

[rancid grail]

So I'm running a lowlife build, and my belt grants ward when i use a potion, does it count when I run over one on the ground? I currently am around 100 of 1200 health most of the time

[sturdy summit]

I believe running over one on the ground counts as using a potion, yes

[rancid grail]

OK I thought so, sounds right, just wanted to make sure

[tawdry gale]

all of a sudden +ranks to frost claw trippled in price

[neon lynx]

This is what happens when they kick everyone off torment warlock

[hollow arrow]

i just needed something ez

cuz warpath wasn't gonna do it lmao

[hollow totem]

What's the purpose of having cold and lightning pen on a wand for novaclaw?

is there a better suffix choice other than those 2?

[broken eagle]

guiys I have a fixation for bad characters, any recomendation between spellblade or sorceseres

[hollow totem]

runemaster

[broken eagle]

that one looks like a very popular mastery

[hollow totem]

cause it's fast fun and op asf

[broken eagle]

yeah , exactly what im not looking for

[hollow arrow]

lmao

hard to upgrade

[hollow arrow]

nice

[stuck fable]

effin hell.. 95% of my mage toons gets rekt by sturlax at the fortress wall

[floral delta]

hello all, I have a quick question, I want to try and build an elemental build where I use frost/fire/lightning abilities, is that even kind of playable though? penetration is my main concern

[stuck fable]

check out the wild mage build by amarathy

not sure you can push high into corruption but it can handle 200c i guess

[floral delta]

Thanks, 200 is about where i'm at in general, i play the game to make off-meta builds and try new things more so than climbing super high

[still stump]

lets gooooooooooo https://imgur.com/evaDuTc

I was about to have a god damn heart attack slamming this

[hollow arrow]

oh damn nice

make me one since mine keep failing

lmao

[still stump]

lol for real julras is cursed

[hollow arrow]

for me it's been julras and ladle

got t6 cast into my enigma at the least

so i aint worry bout that for until later when i upgrade with cast/light

[chilly aspen]

Anyone able to clarify, i am wanting a 2H sword for my mage is it possible to put elemental damage increase on swords?

[hollow arrow]

Oh damn, just hit cast spd and crit strike multi on ladle

one less thing to worry about till 4lp lmao

now for julras

[winter crow]

nice

[winter crow]

3lp with pen is still an upgrade, but a small one xd

not needed at all until min/max

[hollow arrow]

yeah for sure

i got t7 cast and t5 multi so i'll take it

it's not high roll t7 but still t7 lmao

time to get t4 a shot

[brittle elbow]

Can I start playing the spark charge frost claw runemaster with a regular unstable core unit I get one with higher lp already have a 3lp enigma a 2 lp alchemist ladle , a 1 lp prismatic gaze and a 1 lp julras ring

[hollow arrow]

yeah im using a normal unstable core

it's the + skills that really help with it

[brittle elbow]

I also have a lp2 static shell if it’s better than unstable core

Ok thx

[winter crow]

its better to survive, but you need +fc levels or omnis to make up for it

[hollow arrow]

I think you can use static if you have +4 fc

or at least i heard thats when's a good spot to change it

[brittle elbow]

Well since I’m farming on my necro for my gear I can’t really drop fc Yet
So I’m better off going with unstable core and farming more to try and get a better lp one in the future

[winter crow]

nope

+fc levels arent needed

you only need omnis or unstable core

[hollow arrow]

two more julras and no int

rip

well if you swap out unstable core for static

you'll want fc+ levels then i mean

[winter crow]

look, if you spec right, no mana problems and only 23 fc lvel

[winter crow]

no

its a bait, int on relic is stronger

bis would be t7 int and +2 fc levels

you dont need frozen malice node in fc

if you run nova

it add 3 mana cost and only helps clear, but clear is good with nova

[hollow arrow]

https://imgur.com/a/3aTZPV2

lmao guess that solves my money issues

[brittle elbow]

Ok what piece should I go farm next red ring ,strand of souls,blood of the exile ,twisted heart

[hollow arrow]

lets see how much lowest +4 is right now

oof 66m

[winter crow]

twisted heart

build doesnt work without it

[brittle elbow]

It can only drop from emperor of courpses right

[trim jasper]

Yeah

[brittle elbow]

Umm does having relic profecies for emperor help with the drop?

[bronze shore]

that insane

[winter crow]

https://gyazo.com/c224e72821c68fb16417b3bf78b333b5 lets goo, took like 3-4 hours of leveling gloves

t7 armor/crit reduce and t7 int

[still stump]

I would have cried if it didnt hit the int I swear

[bronze shore]

how

[winter crow]

grats on the int, I fkd up a red ring slam earlier

[bronze shore]

you guys cant keep cooking

[still stump]

im sure I will fail the 2lp heart slam as rng is a fickle mistress

[hollow arrow]

i got some t7 int gloves but they aint that good lmao

[brittle elbow]

Does profecies help with the drop of twisted heart from emperor of corpses? Or should I get exalted profecies for exalted slams?

[hollow arrow]

thats nice pip

[winter crow]

I also failed that one, so you wont

[still stump]

look how nice it rolled too https://imgur.com/fWpBT8Q

[hollow arrow]

https://imgur.com/a/DcpbBoV

got cast spd on the gloves at least

damn 2lp

give me those and i'll try that +4 i got ceranade lmao

[winter crow]

holy crap

thats worth a ton

[bronze shore]

15 cast speed 8 on spent

jesus christ

[hollow arrow]

tons of good stuff tonight lmao

[still stump]

COF lifer

[winter crow]

surely this wont happen to you I trust

https://gyazo.com/9c7257ac9d2cc59e8dbcf289ad47591d

[still stump]

pain

[brittle elbow]

We use exalted gloves for the build right or is there a better unique gloves to turn into legendary

[winter crow]

erased gloves with t7 int are the best ones

but hard af to get t7 int

if you are cof then any exalted cuz erased isnt an option

[brittle elbow]

Why erased isn’t an option?

[bronze shore]

weaver item seems to work like the first line appear will get a T7 right?

[winter crow]

You need to be GIGA lucky to get t7 int roll, it just took me like 40-50 gloves to get

so without being able to just buy them in the market

[tall rock]

How does the "conversion" on apex of thought work? Does it mean that while you are on your glyph you cannot apply dots anymore? Or that's just a bonus? Cause if it disables dots, its other affix which extends dot duration would be kinda odd...

[winter crow]

getting that many gloves to drop is hard, specially with high weavers

[still stump]

40k ward is so busted

[hollow arrow]

alright lets see if this +4 fc relic sells while i sleep

i need money lmao

[bronze shore]

bro what

[still stump]

what is the going rate for one of those

[bronze shore]

uhave +4?

shhesh

[hollow arrow]

yeah it dropped from julra t4

when i got my cast spd/crit multi ladle as well lmao

[hollow arrow]

here

other stats suck, but still +4

[brittle elbow]

How important is having a t7 crit multi on ladle

[orchid basalt]

at what lvl i gonna get better gear ? im 43

[hollow arrow]

i went t7 cast and t5 crit multi

i want that spd

[brittle elbow]

Also getting relic profecies for beating emperor of corpses will it give more chance of dropping the heart or does it not affect it at all

[round socket]

Are there any skill nodes that synergize with keeping Flame Ward active more? Amazing skill but 16 seconds of cooldown...

[winter crow]

very, prob the most important stat

[still stump]

doesnt feel like it but maybe

[bronze shore]

i fee like for some reason t7 cast speed are better

i think xd

[winter crow]

its similar, but if your crit is high enough, crit multi is a bit better

[brittle elbow]

If I manage to get t7 cast and t5 crit multi is it still usable

[winter crow]

yes

very

the diff to t7 crit and t5 cast isnt big

[brittle elbow]

Also which profecies should I go for relic uniques to give it a shot against the boss or exalted ones to farm some exalt to slam

[bronze shore]

i have like 400 crit multi right now

[hollow arrow]

can focus on julras tomorrow

[bronze shore]

at some point crit multi should fall of compare to cast speed and vice versa

[hollow arrow]

see if we can get t7 int on it lmao

[mossy turret]

Is the Frostclaw build any worth doing on Spellblade? Or just leave my guy as a Surgebot and create a Runemaster? 🤣

[winter crow]

thats good

[winter crow]

depends, some pcs lag with high cast speed

also server sometimes has problems

with fc nova procs

when I tried the 350% cast speed, the server lag was bad

[hollow arrow]

lmao it already sold

70m

[winter crow]

nice

[hollow arrow]

any rm related is high af now

idols shot up as well

the crit chance with lighting skills & doubled lightning dmg is way higher as well lmao

[brittle elbow]

God I’m so unlucky with profecies can’t find any catalyst or wand profecies

[winter crow]

yeah, im glad I bought most of my stuff when it was cheap

rn my build would cost too much to be viable

[hollow arrow]

yeah for sure

i got my idols when they were still low

[winter crow]

ppl just starting are kinda fkd

if they play mg

[hollow arrow]

got lucky i pulled 2lp enigma from ascension, slapped a t6 cast in it and im fine with it for now

lmao

[thin abyss]

Imagine slamming 2lp julra ring and just miss both int and light dmg while u hit double res 💀

Cant be fkng me 💀

[hollow arrow]

i did 6 2lp ladles earlier

each one hit both suffixes

no prefixes for me lmao

[winter crow]

2lp enigma is cheap af

[thin abyss]

Im sueing 💀💀💀

[winter crow]

ladle also cheap

[brittle elbow]

God why is finding exalt to slam harder than finding the actual uniques

[hollow arrow]

yeah thats the reason why i could do ladle ccuz it's cheap lmao

2p engima went up tho, it's pushing 5m+ now

[still stump]

ladles are mega cursed, I had 2 3LPs and both of them missed combo of cm/cast

-_-

[hollow arrow]

all of it is climbing fast lmao

[thin abyss]

Ok i feel less bad now

[brittle elbow]

I’m debating if I should make a second character on mg just to buy exalted to slam

[thin abyss]

Im not the only one cursed 💀

[hollow arrow]

im gonna get a 2lp twisted heart soon, and try for a +2-3 FC

once i get another one

[winter crow]

thats still cheap

[hollow arrow]

i meant for newer players

[bronze shore]

11 2lp engima

💀

11

[hollow arrow]

it's gonna be rough getting everything ya need

[limpid drum]

So if i use nova node on frostclaw and spec into nodes from elemental nova itself do i benefit from it ?

[thin abyss]

Naaahhh 💀💀💀

[winter crow]

you bought 11?

[bronze shore]

yes

i bought 11

failed 10 slam

[hollow arrow]

i'll hit rank 8 MG later as well so i can buy lp rings lmao

[thin abyss]

Omg 💀

[hollow arrow]

tho that red ring looking sexy rn

👀

[winter crow]

similar to me

[bronze shore]

sad that it got inflated so much lol

last time i saw it it was 15m

[hollow arrow]

yeah it's nuts

[still stump]

havent seen a red ring yet

[hollow arrow]

they pushing 50-60m for nolp ones rn

[still stump]

2 omnis tho

[winter crow]

red ring is op

10% multiplicative dr and resistances

sad I failed the t7 int on it

[hollow arrow]

aight im going to sleep

[winter crow]

gn

[hollow arrow]

before i start doing more again

[still stump]

how rare is red ring at corruption 1k+

[brittle elbow]

Wait we slam int on the ring the build I saw had dex slammed into the ring

[winter crow]

very

hardest drop
