[ornate barn]

do you t4 Temporal Sanctum for Julra ring with 2LP or t1 is enough given it's a guarantee drop in t1 (w/ 1LP)?

[toxic ingot]

Oh damn, been using a rare wand with +77% element +76% DoT and 2 dead affixes (been dry on finding an upgrade). Just found an Exalted with +270% DoT and +26% crit multiplier and 2 dead affixes that can be rerolled. 😮

And 32 FP

[safe grail]

so i was on T3, but if you wanna farm just rings, do T1.

[ornate barn]

ty!

[little pebble]

is the twin beam for disintigrate worth it or?

also, how is my disintigrate almost 50k damage but kills slower than meteor at 14k >...>

[barren pawn]

https://imgur.com/a/Xd6lqkz i made this, if i ever decide to go to meteor, i have this at the ready

[barren pawn]

For larger targets you get double damage.

two beams independently dealing damage. Even at the 30 % loss, you still come out on top

[toxic ingot]

140% of the damage, think it stacks ignite-per-second faster

[stiff crown]

Jesus, inflation

[proper hawk]

Area level affects LP chances, you will want to be in t4 for max area level if you want more than 1 LP

[safe grail]

well i mean 1 LP is guaranteed

2 LP is uncommon and 3s are VERY Rare

[stiff crown]

I get that. Just the price has gone up so much over the last few days

Must be my pfp

[safe grail]

Hey kurii

[stiff crown]

Not

[safe grail]

what belt do you pref on LL spark charge?

im finding good use out of chains

and i have a 2 LP

wondering what else might fit here

[stiff crown]

Hm, I use chains due to the fact that LP4 is relatively achievable

I don’t think you can go wrong with strands if you have it though

[safe grail]

I just feel like strands falls short in this build cus of the little mana spent, but the fkn ward retention is nice

ill rock it and see

[stiff crown]

Yeah. Ward Retention is nuts. It's just that 2LP Strands seem more expensive than 4LP Chains, lol

[safe grail]

yea

and also no dmg comes from strands too

you can get dmg from chains at least w/o a slam

[stiff crown]

Chains is 0 reroll and 14 LP potential so easier to get

I don't know how much ward I get from 1 potion using chains and experimental affix, but I'll let you know when I test it later tonight

I'm pretty sure it's a little over 1k

Potion use synergizes with Exsang too

The bad part about chains is that it isn't Praetorian for the massive armor

[toxic ingot]

Bleh. Much as I love the idea of faster ramping from the last point in Intensify, another 7% general mitigation while channeling is probably the best move.

[buoyant shuttle]

Why is that wrongwrap makes more damage done mad alchemist for my runemaster?

[lunar pond]

has anyone tried to build around Runic Energizer? Is it too janky to be viable?

[stiff crown]

This is one of those set and forget type passives imo. Not something to revolve a build around. But I could be wrong

[safe grail]

becuse wrongwarp scales w/ movespeed

and off rip, it procs a 35% MS proc

so you get 3% per 1% of MS you have, which ends up being 105% base

[buoyant shuttle]

thanka bro

[safe grail]

then tack on say 35% MS from boots that you'll usually have, that's another 105%

[lunar pond]

youd want to use as many different invocations as possible id imagine, most builds ive seen focus on a single one and optimizing for that one

[safe grail]

if you have haste, that's another 30%

[buoyant shuttle]

yes id o : )

[unborn hamlet]

RM is overcooked, but it doesn't mean we can't burn the whole kitchen down, so go and make even better builds

[stiff crown]

I tested it before but it still works with one invo. Just that it doesn't go any faster

Meaning it's something that's helpful regardless of single invo or multi

[tough crane]

Gemini "Increased damage taken while dual wielding" is so freaking sadge

[lucid barn]

what is the best build for runemasteR?

[safe grail]

yeah so you can stack all of these MS modifiers and get more raw dmg outta wrongwarp, but the difference here is, ladle can scale cast speed easier and better

since you get cast speed per int

[buoyant shuttle]

thanks again

[errant plank]

I heard about a bug with soulfire bastion, is it fixed? Will look for my gamblers fallacy tonight.... 😄

[buoyant shuttle]

im transitioning from plasma orb to nova spark plug

[safe grail]

spark plug LOL

[toxic ingot]

Just realized that penetration stats don't seem to be on the character sheet

think they just forgot?

[errant plank]

Any way to use CoF stuff to ease gambler fallacy farming ?

[proper hawk]

also keep in mind, mad alchemist ladle has almost no flat spell damage. It has really good multipliers, but you need flat added spell damage to make up for the base. Wrongwarp is a crystal wand base and doesn't have that issue

[tidal needle]

Hello, i just create a new mage charachter, my previous was sorcerer and now i want to build a new one with rune master, i am 4 lvl just right now with my new character and i just saw on my passive that it is connected through the sorserer on the passive, while i dont choose it. Is it gonna tell me later to choose with subclass i want?

[safe grail]

i can't really understand this question here, but if you are asking what I think you are asking;

As long as 'Mastered' doesn't appear under any of your passive trees on the new toon, you will be able to select it later.

[gilded jolt]

You get to choose when you get to lvl20 and past a certain quest line

[twilit stag]

How could you free up the amulet slot without screwing it. The amulet is def the most important part

[toxic ingot]

I know I've said it before, but it's kinda crazy that Glyph of Dominion gives 45% to ALL resistances to you and party memeber with the node

[barren pawn]

slight hit to spell crit by using prismatic

but i tested it, doesnt work.

[orchid basalt]

i have so much acolyte stuff that i would be the strongest warlock,lich or necromancer in the game LOL

[tough mist]

on my frostclaw runemaster, it says i have 82% spell crit chance and 63% crit chance, are they combined in any way or does it just take the higher of the 2?

[stiff crown]

I guess by sealing it with Despair

[twilit stag]

Already factored in

[stiff crown]

I got my Oracle Amulet with T7 Crit Mult, T5 lightning pen, T5 armor shred, T5 HP, and sealed T1 frailty

[stiff crown]

There should be 4 types. Melee, spell, bow, and throwing

Spell would be specific to spell. Maybe the generic one is just everything else

[tough mist]

gotcha thanks! so if my spell crit chance is 82% then that is the final crit chance for my frost claw

[stiff crown]

Yee

[sturdy summit]

not necessarily

[sturdy summit]

the spell crit in your C menu does not include conditional bonuses to crit, like if you spec into added base crit in the Frost Claw tree.

so your frost claw's actual crit might be higher than what it says

[stiff crown]

Ah yeah, that's true

We had this discussion the other day, lol

[signal yew]

How are yall target farming exalted frost claw relics in CoF?

[sturdy summit]

I'm taking exalted relic prophecies when they're convenient, but I'm not trying to farm that very hard because the cost to my sanity would be too high

[tough mist]

ah ok that makes sense, cause i dont think ive ever seen a non crit, couldnt figure out why

[pliant laurel]

trying a lightining meteor sorc, it hits like a truck, but no defenses :(. how do I improve the ward or survavility?

[sturdy summit]

yes, you may already be above 100%, but you'd have to add up everything yourself to be sure

[sturdy summit]

spec into lightning aegis. maybe try going low life

[lucid barn]

what is better for runemaster Frostbite or Spark Charges?

[pliant laurel]

thanks philipov

[sturdy summit]

frostbite is easier to get started, spark charge probably has a higher ceiling

[winter crow]

I had 50k ward, he had 0% hp and I died? https://gyazo.com/78062dedb98a737a4471bee7f3b4eacd XD

nice game

[still stump]

he cheats dude

I swear

[winter crow]

he was 0% for like 2-3 secs

and then I insta died

[still stump]

I actually rage quit the game yesterday for the first time

poison trail sent me to a dark place

[hollow arrow]

ah yeah

i remember that

lmao

[sturdy summit]

what a toxic ability

[lucid barn]

@sturdy summit here i can find a good build to see?

[hollow arrow]

[sturdy summit]

What level are you?

[lucid barn]

@sturdy summit27 start 5 min ago

[round elm]

does healing effectiveness affect health regen and leech?

[sturdy summit]

no

it affects the healing tag

[round elm]

neither?

oh

[sturdy summit]

it's for healing hands

[round elm]

frick!

[sturdy summit]

health regen and leech both have their own stats to improve their effectiveness

[tight rapids]

why my rune master has on his head 3 purble things not 1 cold 1 fire 1 cold

[sturdy summit]

purple?

[round elm]

thanks philip ur the goat, they dont even respond to my questiosn on the sentinel tab

[hollow arrow]

sentinels aren't as populated as the others sadly lol

[sturdy summit]

a dying breed

[still stump]

paladin is so busted tho

[tight rapids]

i think it's electric

[still stump]

healing hands is wild

[round elm]

pretty sure its the 2nd most popular class no?

mage is least popular or 2nd least

[sturdy summit]

maybe they're just too busy being so awesome

[hollow arrow]

i think mage is most popular if not 2nd most popular

considering the prices on market lmao

[round elm]

a lot of normies play sentinel cuz its like warrior, but those people are never on the discord

[sturdy summit]

we play mage because we value the pursuit of knowledge, in discord

[hollow arrow]

soon as they get higher corruption though they realize it's limited to mostly rive/hh builds

lotta people wanna do warpath and cant later on lol

[round elm]

yes there are so many combos on mage i love it

[hollow arrow]

hmmmm cheapest red ring is still 60m for today

imma wait till it drops back down to 40 at some point then i'll nab one

[leaden harness]

How do you get to millions lol. I barely make thousands

[barren pawn]

200k per hit on dis

with no slammed gear

and a single exalted

[signal iron]

I wish the spells had some more utility rather than just aoes for the most part

make it like true invoker

[barren pawn]

?

[barren pawn]

wdym? You have an insane regenerating ward invocation, and a few other utilities

frost fire frost for the ward

[signal iron]

thats like the only utility? lightning fire fire is tetrahedron which is unique, fire frost lightning is fun but meh, and fire lightning fire is the spark ball I think which is the only other good one.

msot builds use the skill point where your combo is static too. Its not like actual invo

[sturdy summit]

correct

[gleaming turret]

hey

[safe grail]

Don't even ask.

[teal oasis]

[teal oasis]

Kek

[safe grail]

like 99.99% sure that's a bot

lol

[teal oasis]

Hey I’m a artist too, you should pay me instead

XD

I can draw stick figures

[teal oasis]

It is

[safe grail]

<@&1082357055484071997> <@&1161418687471956101> Very likely a bot DMing people to try and scam them.

[hollow arrow]

hmmm might be time to get an omnis

[safe grail]

LOL GL LOOKING THRU THOSE PAGES HAH

[hollow arrow]

lmao

[signal iron]

can you not search in market?

[hollow arrow]

mines loading just fine

[safe grail]

you can't search individual rolls on affixes is the issue

and omnis literally rolls 1-48 on all resists.

[wet yew]

Maybe, but cant really do anything unless they do something against the rules. Just saying hey doesnt quite meet the threshold. If you get spam DMs from someone in the server tho, dm the screenshots to @astral wraith

[safe grail]

heard

[neon lynx]

hey

[safe grail]

Def ban this guy

[hollow arrow]

hey

[signal iron]

ah i c i c

[sullen umbra]

@sturdy summit so in transitioning to the gear from the Frostbite frost claw build I am following, the first milestone is getting good bases with at least 2 desired T5 Aspects on them... I deally those should be the defnesive affixes yes?

[barren pawn]

can you get rid of @wraith warren

clearly a gold bot

[stiff crown]

Even the in game numbers may be off due to rounding. I'm not entirely sure but when I import my character to the builder, my dagger, which has a 3-4% range show 3.77%, but the in game stat says 4% due to rounding

[stiff crown]

Dang, only 15 cents now

[hollow arrow]

damn thats cheap

👀

[prime fable]

When i scale up corruption and chance of item ratity increases does it include lp items aswell? Example 0.001% drop chance can become 1% with 1000 corruption+?

[hollow arrow]

damn 1lp wings went down in price abit lol

was like 90-100m for a few days, now it's hitting 20m

[errant plank]

Time to go to soulfire bastion.... wish me best luck to find gambler fallacy in one run in T1 😄

[hollow arrow]

dang 2lp darkstride went broke as well lmao

[teal oasis]

What’s price of 2lp calamity

[hollow arrow]

wut is it

2hand?

oh nvm found it

[teal oasis]

Helmet

[hollow arrow]

cant even look up calamity

just gives me normal helmets lmao

[teal oasis]

[hollow arrow]

ah there we go

ui being buggy

lowest is uhhh

0

for 2lp

[teal oasis]

[hollow arrow]

lowest 3lp is 700k

[teal oasis]

Dam

Cheap

[hollow arrow]

no 4lp

yeah

[teal oasis]

Think I might switch to merchant on my next character

So I can sell some things I get

[sturdy summit]

what build are you following?

[hollow arrow]

lowest prismatic 1lp is 5m

2 is 110m

4% base is 300m

1b for 3lp

[teal oasis]

Dam

[hollow arrow]

boots still seem to be pretty expensive overall

cept anything that does void lmao

[tight rapids]

How i get this order cold fire cold in runemaster ?

[sturdy summit]

that's a complex question

could you elaborate on what you're looking for?

[lyric reef]

Well, lightning conversion meteor is technically functional, but it really isn't feeling great exactly

Focus still feels god-awful to use as a skill

[tight rapids]

Check Dm please

[teal oasis]

A cold spell (like frost claw/modded elemental nova) then fireball/flamerush/rune bolt then repeat first

[lyric reef]

And even when specced into heavily, it STILL regens mana slow as hell

[sturdy summit]

for CFC, they should be using immutable order

[hearty cypress]

the best mana free lightning build is lightning blast spark charge sorc

[teal oasis]

Is that a unique? I have no idea what that is

Or a node?

[wintry raft]

Does frost claws damage mainly come from spark charge? Iv had people tell me that and I’m confused

[sturdy summit]

it's the node in the runic invocation tree that makes your runes always come out the same as the first three elements on your skill bar.

[teal oasis]

Oh that one

I should use that more

That’s actually kinda nice

[sturdy summit]

so the answer for how to get CFC runes is an answer to "Which skills should I have on my bar"

and there are lots of ways to do that. The first question to ask is: Do you want to use flame rush or teleport?

if you can use flame rush, your options are wider for how to get the other runes

[teal oasis]

Wait that would be really good, my hydra build would be so much easier than spamming elec nova, fire wall, and fire rune bolt

Which does a nice amount of damage

[sturdy summit]

Taking immutable order requires giving invoke a 12 secoond cooldown

[teal oasis]

Nvm

XD

[sturdy summit]

it is good for frostguard because frostguard has a 13 second duration. You get 100% uptime, and also the same node makes it refund the mana cost. It's really good for frostguard, not as good for other stuff as you see.

[teal oasis]

Yea

If I ever do that build I’ll swap to it

[tight rapids]

Check dm please

[teal oasis]

But hydra build is nice

[clear heath]

is there any way to turn down the effects of elemental nova? jesus my eyes hurt 🤣 i wanted to apply some filters with geforce experience but apparently doesn't work

[sturdy summit]

nope

[grave iris]

anybody playing plasma orb with a twisted heart having a hard time maintaining their health even tho they have the lightning leech as health node? I seem to leech fine off the dummies but not monster.

[minor roost]

when unlocking a legendary potential, will the highest tier of the exalted item be put on it or is it random?

[stoic bronze]

random

[minor roost]

hmm k thx

[stiff crown]

My first LP4 drop as MG. Grimoire relic. Despair

[hearty cypress]

think about how much damage ur doing to dummy compared to monster

plus ur also not getting hit by the monster as u leech

ur dummy damage is about 10x of what u deal to monsters realistically in 100 corr

[sage creek]

how to make flame ward give an ice run?

rune?

[balmy abyss]

take frost ward point in skill tree?

[sullen umbra]

going from the maxroll runemaster leveling build to the maxroll Frostbite Frost Claw build...

[errant plank]

hey guyz, im in my first soulfire run (1 key only) and i can see a zone i cannot access to in the middle of the map (road blocks), is it normal? can iaccess it (i would like to collect as much souls as possible)?

[sullen umbra]

and as I said ealier my luck on this character has been so bad my gear makes Trash Gear look good LOL

[errant plank]

and if i opened a door with a modifier, im stuck with it, cant use the other door (i thought there were 2 doors....)?

[sturdy summit]

I'm writing my own frostbite guide because I don't like the one on maxroll :p

[spice willow]

@errant plank yes its normal with blocked paths, and yes, afaik you are stuck with it

[sage creek]

whats the sequence for the three colored plasma beams that rotate around me

the runic invocation for that

[river prawn]

Looks to be Rah Heo Gon

Fire Cold Lightning

[spice willow]

Apex of thought helmet, which gives glyph of dominion bonuses, is it a good item in general? should i use GoD as a lightning mage?

[sturdy summit]

I use glyph of dominion, but I spec it fire to get a fire rune for my build. It can be a useful skill for zone control and has some fun support nodes. You can try it if you're interested. Think of it as an alternative to Frost Wall. If you're going for some super optimized builds, however, there's no room for it.

glyph of dominion becomes better when you're playing in a group, but it can be hard to get people to stand on it.

[errant plank]

How many souls should i collect to buy all the amulets in T1 ?

[sturdy summit]

and if you're solo, it can be hard to get you to stand on it.

[spice willow]

hmm right

[leaden harness]

@sturdy summit i love how active you are on discord and ready to answer anything

[winter crow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQAf2Xv6viQ I just found a new tech that allowed me to do sub 10 sec julra kill, I explained it here in voice chat, look at the last 10 minutes if you wanna see

[lyric reef]

It's got okay damage, can hit for ~50k per meteor, but it just devours mana

[barren pawn]

rank 7 takes so damn long

holy hell

i fear for rank 8

[ocean mauve]

does fireball shotgun without the embers node

[alpine wyvern]

@barren pawn you are here ALL DAY ? how??

[sturdy summit]

the entire premise of sorcerer is "don't provide good defense" and "devour all your mana". It's a suspect class fantasy for a game like this, don't you think?

[lyric reef]

I mean

[barren pawn]

? whats the issue

[lyric reef]

The idea is basically "Consume a shitload of mana and obliterate the enemy before you can die"

[alpine wyvern]

im jealous , i cant play that much 😄

[lyric reef]

The problem comes in where you don't actually get the damage to do that

[barren pawn]

get a wfh jon

job*

[lyric reef]

Like

[sturdy summit]

and there's so much incidental damage, it's unreasonable for your defensive strategy to be "don't get hit 4head"

[lyric reef]

It is

And it's annoying

Because the meteors are cool as hell and I like them

[river prawn]

I feel like a lightning meteor build should be hitting way above 50k - and I assume that's lv 100 numbers not dummy numbers

[lyric reef]

Yeah, level 100 mobs a few nodes in

[river prawn]

Though I never quite got around to it so maybe not

[lyric reef]

No idea on dummy, and I'm also like

Halfway through a rebuild with de-leveled skills

Let me test

Where even are the dummies

[river prawn]

Are you running the always crit above 400 mana node with some wiggle room above 400 mana?

[lyric reef]

I am not, no

[barren pawn]

arena

[lyric reef]

Test dummy numbers are ~210k crits currently

[river prawn]

Lightning meteor set alone gives you quite a bit of mana so hitting above 400 should be doable, and you can make that guaranteed crit node into a huge damage multiplier

[lyric reef]

With six meteors per cast all hitting due to overlapping AoEs

[river prawn]

Shame that no LP for sets tho, manaforged lightning meteor staff would be so lit

[lyric reef]

Didn't they say they're gonna look at something to make sets suck less?

[river prawn]

Soon™

[lyric reef]

Vilatria's is almost good

Almost

[river prawn]

It's the one (1) set I'm happy to see

But that doesn't mean I don't wanna do a little more with the items

[lyric reef]

At the very least it brought me all the way to basic empowered monos

[ocean mauve]

anyone tried oblation fireball?

[lyric reef]

It's just that now that I'm here, it's feeling sorta

Lackluster

But hey

[leaden harness]

I see many talking about loot filter, how does it work ?

[lyric reef]

At least it's not Black Hole

[lyric reef]

The game has built-in ability to make and alter loot filterrs

Hit Escape, go to Settings, then Gameplay, and scroll down until you see the Loot Filter section

[river prawn]

I think trying to do the above 400 mana guaranteed crit thing with decent crit multi could really help, though again no LP on set weapon so crit multi won't be trivial

[lyric reef]

Click Manage Loot Filters

It explains things a bit

[neon lynx]

Or shift f

[lyric reef]

Yeah Shift+F also works

[lyric reef]

The issue that I'd see there is that I'd get maybe one cast of guaranteed crit off, and then everything after is no longer guaranteed

A full mana bar and into the negatives has generally been enough to make bosses simply no longer exist

Plus I've got a solid amount of crit bonus and it has increased base crit

[errant plank]

lol i ended dungeon and have 1400 souls left.... should i purchase other type of items for my disinteg. build ?

[river prawn]

I didn't quite get around to lightning meteor shower but playing regular meteor shower I'd get the mana and run spec'd focus to go above max mana if I wanted to obliterate something to send a message

[barren pawn]

180k off of rank 7

[errant plank]

got 4 exalted amulets, is it usual ?

[river prawn]

It was fun, a little charge up time and then absolute annihilation

[lyric reef]

I really just despise Focus I'll be real

[river prawn]

Got the set and some nice items for it so I really wanna try making it proper before I get distracted with other things

[fluid bone]

I'm rocking the nova frost claw build...like everyone else. Anyone know why the "volley of glass" skill node is taken (the one no burst, all projectiles hit same target) is used? I thought the nova is what procs the spark charge which does the damage so the node doesn't help with more novas

[errant plank]

[errant plank]

What is trash and should be replaced first in your opinion?

[river prawn]

Yeah I feel meteor is kind of designed around actively recovering your mana if you wanna use it as main skill

One thing I tried too was putting max points in the mana recoup node and getting mana from that while channeling focus for a sec to get the burst and then next meteor

[lyric reef]

It really feels weird that building mana regen is so goddamn difficult

[river prawn]

Roughly one second of mana recoup, one second of focus and focus burst was enough to fully recover the mana cost iirc

[lyric reef]

Stacking mana regen affixes on everything available gets you like

~30-40/s

Which still means that a full mana bar takes upwards of 10 seconds to charge depending on mana

[river prawn]

Yeah agreed, I get why passive mana options are not super strong but they really don't need to be super weak either lol

[lyric reef]

Just add some sort of flat mana regen we can get

So that we can actually get flat and scale it, the same way damage works

Most builds are not gonna do it

[river prawn]

Yeah! Having both flat and % means that they can be weak individually as they are now, but if you really insist on stacking them, they'll multiply each other and actually become powerful eventually

[lyric reef]

It'd give some amount of use to mana stackers and high-cost skills, and it'd enable more builds to do stuff like soaking damage into their mana pool

[barren pawn]

you need gamblers homie

[lyric reef]

Instead of every single build under the sun being "Okay so I'll have an Exanguinous, with the ward boots, and the ward gloves...."

[river prawn]

Funny you mention those considering lightning meteor is int stacking build and int is ward retention

[stiff crown]

On-hit effects like armor shred, and enigma gives spark charge for any hit if you're using it

[lyric reef]

I know

And I hate it a little

Like

The way I see it, the devs decided that mana should be a thing that's relevant

[sick falcon]

is there a cap on cast speed?

[lyric reef]

For most classes, well, that's just flat out wrong because most classes do not care about mana costs or will find a way to recover enough mana to completely ignore it

For Sorceror, it feels like mana is a problem that you're supposed to try and solve and make work for you, but like they forgot to actually put in stuff to solve it

[lyric reef]

When the game crashes, basically

[river prawn]

There are the active solutions, something something generator spender, and I agree that passive solutions shouldn't be trivial, but I'd like to see them actually doable if you put enough effort

[twilit stag]

Hybrid mana on everything?..

[lyric reef]

Again, even going whole-hog on it, you get a pitiful amount

[river prawn]

Yeah 1.6 mana per second per T5 is just.. not a lot for an affix slot

[lyric reef]

The unique chest with mana regen per uncapped lightning resist, plus as much mana regen as you can get from the tree and other gear, and then you end up with

About 30-40 mana per second

If you have 400 mana, which is fairly normal for a sorc doing meteor if not even more mana, that's still ten whole seconds sitting there with your thumb up your butt

Meanwhile metabuilds don't even realize mana is a mechanic at all and do far more damage with 10k+ ward

I don't even necessarily think those builds should be nerfed

I just want Meteor and mana builds to suck a bit less

It's functional enough to exist but janky and bad enough that you start to really feel the problems with it eventually

[sturdy summit]

the problem with mana regen is it doesn't scale with cast speed. But frost claw provides an alternative mana regen mechanism that does scale with cast speed!

[lyric reef]

Yeah

[river prawn]

I don't really think something like +100% cast speed meteor shower should ever sustain, but right now we kind of have the opposite extreme

[lyric reef]

Yeah, I don't think you should be able to sit there basically hard-channeling Meteors down and have infinite mana, but something better than the current situation would be nice

[twilit stag]

Two of them and it's basically -3 spell cost 🤷

[lyric reef]

Hell

Buff Focus

Make Focus not suck ass

Give it flat regen and then allow it to scale stuff

It'd make it at least sorta worth it

Hell

Make it so that the Focus Mana-recovered-to-Ward is recorded as a ramping-up Ward Per Second

[sturdy summit]

Call the node that grants that "Adderall"

[lyric reef]

At least something to make Focus feel vaguely worthwhile instead of just a patchjob for what feels like a broken mechanic

[soft elm]

is it rare a t7/6 "spell dmg/mana"? coulndn't find in 97 levels 😄

[sturdy summit]

spellslinger prefix for sceptres is a unicorn

[soft elm]

really?

[sturdy summit]

t7 is one of the rarest things in the game

not the rarest, but up there

[soft elm]

it's ok too with t6 for me, or t5 with other 2 nice affix

[sturdy summit]

you should find plenty of t5s, and t6 isn't so bad either

[soft elm]

i just wanna use my frozen ire 3lp

[sturdy summit]

I saved up half a dozen t6 spellslingers and 1 lp ires. I lined them up from worst to best, and slammed each one until one of them hit. I got the best one!

if you have 3lp, you should save that for when you can find a t7

to maximize the chance of hitting

[soft elm]

I dont give a f..., i will roll another char soon cuz' im bored

[latent steeple]

guys in hardcore, if ur char dies in arena does it count as a death??? and if so how does the endless mode work does it just go until u lose ur char

[mystic sparrow]

yes, its dead

You can end the run every...5 levels?

[sturdy summit]

it's 5 levels in non-endless

[latent steeple]

ohhh i see i see ty boiz

[twilit stag]

So endless is just a guaranteed death then?

[errant plank]

when doing monolyths, do you adapt your build/res for each echo ?

[twilit stag]

No

[errant plank]

just got stomped at lvl85 whereas im lvl 70 😒

lack of poison resist i guess

[balmy abyss]

dot is overall deadly, especially if you stand in those poison pools

[river prawn]

Yeah dots are usually what gets me, and poison in particular is pretty deadly

Has built-in shred too

[next lance]

i experimented and got 60k ward on three dummies with a half assed frost claw ignite

[alpine wyvern]

60k ward wow! meanwhile my spellblade barely goes over 5k with insane attackspeed

[next lance]

with three dummies that is

[alpine wyvern]

im using spark charges and cast on crit lightning strike , i asume the floor is lower but still huge difference

[hearty idol]

Just curious: i'm the only one taking Interlude/Prologue nodes on Runic invocation? I admit i'm not playing the "Mighty Frost Claw Uber Ward Kill Them All" build? 🤣

[barren pawn]

rank 7 obtained!

We are SPEED LEVELING THIS

[next lance]

i think if i continue with my research im gonna make a 100k ward build LMFAO

[alpine wyvern]

@hearty idol What are you playin?

@next lance whats ur single target ward ?

[hearty idol]

Personal variation of Hydraherdon. I'm a totem fan, but i don't like to be a Spriggan 🙂

[next lance]

20k but didnt build it properly i just took a bunch of random things

with build up of cours

20k max not instant

for now

[hearty idol]

Depends... lvl 75 with subpar gear around 3/4 k. 2.5 while facetanking

[alpine wyvern]

im using x2 Invoker's Static Touch for that on hit ward, and with all my spells procing and everything , i barely reach 5k , is investing in ward retention something i should consider to save that high ward?

[hearty idol]

Btw, is just fun to cast 3 invocations in 1 click 🙂

[alpine wyvern]

i played that build with the trade guild on release and now i swapped to spellblade to test the solo self found guild and am HATING it , ssf is so limiting when you dont have time to farm a ton of favor

[hearty idol]

Yeah... started as Primalist totem on Cof... reach 85... rerolled a Runemaster on MG. Is like day and night, lol

[alpine wyvern]

tell me about it, im farming for a unique dagger that drops in the Reign of Dragons monolith , and after finishing almost 300 echoes , all i got was one without any legendary potential

[hearty idol]

That is really bad, honestly.

Normally i prefer to play ssf, but as long as i want to play something that "requires" a couple of uniques, well, trade is the only way

Btw... anyone tried to build around Antipode of the rune slinger? I don't think has too much potential, but i'm still a new player so i have no idea

[stiff crown]

Dragorath drops anywhere. It's just dropped more often in that monolith. I'm assuming you're CoF

[hollow arrow]

hmmm cof makes me want to build another RM for it

but maybe i'll just do a falconer

[alpine wyvern]

Getting it with LP is the hard part, just getting it was easy

[signal iron]

do prophecies impact boss drops? Like if I do a unique relic prophecy on the dragon boss, can the non-existent heart drop?

I even got the + relic droprate blessing ;_;

[next lance]

i change the 60k to 70k now

80k now]

lmfao im pushing it

[stiff crown]

Pushing ward on dummies > pushing corruption

[mental glacier]

Doubt it

[next lance]

almost 1k corruption it is easy but trying to prepare for the future

it just takes time

[winter crow]

ward doesn't mean that much if your other defensive stats arent high

pushing just for ward is dumb

[next lance]

i have dmg reduction from flame ward, i have dmg reduction from rune invocation, i have dmg reduction from passive and etc

[winter crow]

not enough

[safe grail]

💯

you NEED armor

[winter crow]

you need high armor, crit reduction, maxed resistances

[safe grail]

crit avoid yeah if you can get it without breaking everything else

[hollow arrow]

use ex as defense

[safe grail]

we're lucky in that we get 48% from passives

[hollow arrow]

can at least take HALF a hit

[safe grail]

bro im fat

i take a full hit aite

[hollow arrow]

maybe three fourths of a hit

gonna penetrate right thru ya

[next lance]

i also have dmg reduction from flame rush and other things

i get armor from frost version of flame ward as well

almost all my resistances are maxed

[safe grail]

kinda one the reasons i was still super drawn to LB was because you can abuse the fk outta armor stacking w/ it

[hollow arrow]

tbh im just happy im geared enough to clear t4 stuff

[zinc scroll]

What skills should I use pre mastery for lvl up?

[safe grail]

while still stacking the dmg.

[hollow arrow]

dont need super high corr

plus i have an idea of how stuff works for next cycle as well

so im not stranded lmao

[barren pawn]

200k from rank 8

[safe grail]

imma play sorc next cycle

100%

[hollow arrow]

hmmm

wonder what they'll change for next cycle

i'd love to give warpath an actual try if they buffed it abit

or at least the survivability

[next lance]

ok i think i peaked 110k ward

nah i need more

the biggest weakest could be the fact that it maybe is good on bosses but i will still check

[winter crow]

ward on dummies doesn't mean much

boss ward and armor does

[hollow arrow]

i was happy to hit 30k ward on emperor today

[winter crow]

try t4 julra, see how much ward you get and how much her big aoe hits you

[winter crow]

nice

[next lance]

oh yeah i almost forgot about the dmg reduction for ligntning aegis

[stiff crown]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/runic_invocation19_mega_elemental_nova This skill seems kinda cracked for clearing trash mobs while rushing echoes. 600% added damage effectiveness. Just set your hotbar with Immutable Order, then cast with Flame Rush. Either this skill or Rune Gale (LFL) which gives haste to faster clear times

[stiff canyon]

Hi everyone, Can someone help me im not sure to understand im lvl 90,i respec all my passives, i got 20 point in MAGE 25 Point in sorcerer, and 30 in rune master, im not able to complet runemaster, I want to put point in DECREE OF THE Burning wind requires 25 points in rune master , and 200 point in mage base, im not abbole to acces for glyph of dominion,

Please help

[safe grail]

you 100% picked a different mastery

[winter crow]

light aegis isnt as good as I thought, it deactivates once you get hit, so things like dots fk you over

[stiff crown]

It's only good with LL

[stiff canyon]

What you mean ?

[safe grail]

in the campaign, it asked you to select a mastery around lvl 20

what mastery are you?

because it's not RM

[stiff crown]

Or low corr

[next lance]

flame rush 40 dmg reduction and extra dmg reduction to move 36 from skill tree

[stiff canyon]

How can i see what mastery i am

[winter crow]

flame rush only while casting so useless

[stiff canyon]

Im new to the game

[winter crow]

you need armor if you wanna push high, dr isnt enough

[safe grail]

when you open your passive screen, look at the 4 triangles to the left. 1 of them should say the passive tree and then underneath it "mastered"

[safe grail]

it should only "pop" when you lose 25% of your HP or it hits 10 seconds, whichever is sooner

if it is popping otherwise, then it's bugged and that means when you lose 25% of your current ward, you lose aegis

[stiff canyon]

Its said Sorcerer MASTERED, is at possible to switch or im just screw with this..

[signal iron]

You're stuck

[safe grail]

you are stuck playing sorc on that toon

you cannot respec a mastery

you'd have to relevel an entirely new mage @stiff canyon

[signal iron]

You can create another character that is RM tho

[winter crow]

mine instapopped with any hit

[signal iron]

It goes by pretty fast with all the gear from your first toon

[winter crow]

tested a ton

[stiff crown]

Thoughts on Final Spark for Lightning Blast? I don't use it but I see people use it their builds. Seems kinda useless, maybe useful in very niche situations.

Final Spark 1
Detonate Spark Charges
If Lightning Blast hits an enemy already affected by Spark Charge the Spark Charge explodes, dealing lightning damage to all nearby enemies.

[hollow arrow]

I saw a build with elemental nova and lightning blast into the kit

[stiff canyon]

Today my friend try to help me with gear but was all , im not able to do lvl 100 without dying sometime so i try to do stuff but damn

[hollow arrow]

could imagine the mana drain being up there lol

[safe grail]

did your friend boost you to lvl 90?

[stiff canyon]

nah

[safe grail]

okay because usually you dont get to lvl 90 and then not understand how the mastery system works so.

[stiff canyon]

i just help me switch gear by discord

[safe grail]

was just curious

[haughty pine]

question. for a spellblade should i be specialize into 1 dmg type like cold or fire or should i get gear with both dmg types?

[safe grail]

one type.

[safe grail]

whatever your spender is

so if your spender is shatter strike, you would focus cold

[stiff canyon]

yeh i understanmd the mastery but i was not dealing domage

so i try somthing result is worst

[haughty pine]

using the 3 glaciers + shatter strike for my spenders with flame ward as a defensive tool

was mostly curious if i should bother with flame reave or not

[safe grail]

i just tested it. it's taking 25% of current ward and using that as the threshold

that's fkn lame

[stiff canyon]

What i should do restart over or pick other guide build sorcerer

[safe grail]

there aren't a lot of sorc guides out there. so it's up to you.

[stiff canyon]

Ayt then thanks

[safe grail]

I'm going to double check aegis, but

i'm 99% sure it's bugged lmfao

[signal iron]

Speaking about sorc, how is meteor as a skill? I just know it sounds rad from the description

How is aegis bugged?

[safe grail]

Aegis is only supposed to pop when you take 25% of your HP or by 10 seconds, whichever is sooner

if you have ward, it is counting ward as your HP bar

[signal iron]

Oh so '25%' is way more than actually 25%

[winter crow]

yeah

thats the problem

any hit in high corr does that

so its useless

until they fix it

[safe grail]

yep

so

i just took 25% in one hit

to ward while playing LL

and aegis went away.

[winter crow]

yup

😦

[safe grail]

das big lame.

does anyone know about this? like

we keep slotting aegis into lightning builds

and it's practically useless lmfao

[signal iron]

Ah I see what you mean now

That is kinda sad, I thought it was damage worth 25% rather than 25% straight from health. If the latter actually worked aegis would be a pretty amazing siill

[barren pawn]

80k off rank 8!

[tacit hornet]

frostclawers, what corruption start feeling semi rough for u

[next lance]

idk haven't been there

[signal iron]

I think itll depend on your gear a bit

[stiff crown]

The skill issue question

[signal iron]

(is frostclaw build really dependent on skill doe)

[tacit hornet]

lol response ofc

[stiff crown]

is you or is you ain't

[tacit hornet]

yh that makes sense

[errant plank]

What is the best way to farm soulfire dungeon keyz ?

[tacit hornet]

prophecies?

[errant plank]

Ha, good to hear, i'm CoF 🙂

[tacit hornet]

[mystic sparrow]

OFC its a skill matters build...the more skill ranks in FC you have, the better you are 😛

[barren pawn]

'swhat im doin

[signal iron]

😂

[errant plank]

congratz" 😉

[naive halo]

bro i just take a 1 week break from this game..... and i just saw that tier 6 fros claw now cost 20 million, WTF?

[errant plank]

Yeah, may be time to go for a real build (like 1k+ corrupt) 😄

[hollow arrow]

lmao

yeah prices shot up

[barren pawn]

?

real build?

homie

my disintegrate build is real

[errant plank]

mouhahahahhaa ;D

[naive halo]

i swear last week it was 500k best, now its 20m, how i suppose to get my heart frost claw

[errant plank]

i'll need you to make it work properly 'cause i'm kinda lost :p

[signal iron]

I think with the other two getting nerfed, frost claw is probably the best in the game right now? Other than maybe that immortal pally build

[barren pawn]

i already told you, get gamblers.

[hollow arrow]

spend 1b for heart frost claw thats how

[errant plank]

im on it mate, no second key for now, will keep going for it 🙂 Doing lvl85 mono atm its quite ok 🙂 May use some profecies tomorrow!

[safe grail]

You dont. Or you swap cof

Or you keep farming til you have gold

[errant plank]

gn8 ladz!

[naive halo]

is it easy to get tier 6 in COF? my COF is lvl 1.........

[signal iron]

naw its not easy

farming that relic and other boss drops is all ive been doing

havent even tried pushing corruption yet really

absolutely nada

[naive halo]

do people actualy buy for 20m now? for t6 frost claw?

[safe grail]

Yep

Sure do

[hollow arrow]

i sold a t7 for 70m the other night

lmao

[naive halo]

BRUH

[safe grail]

I’ve made like 175-200m since i swapped to MG two weeks ago

It’s not hard just gotta know what is in and whats not

[hollow arrow]

im about uhhh

110m total?

[safe grail]

Woorrrd

[naive halo]

so what should i get, t5 heart, or t6 exalted relic?

[hollow arrow]

im on mg maybe day 4/5

[safe grail]

The 65m julra ring today was my best sale so far

[hollow arrow]

my first day on MG was a 2lp jungle belt, thats what kept me on MG

lmao

[safe grail]

Lmao

[naive halo]

blood exile shoes 2 lp now also 50m + why everything getting expensive lol

[safe grail]

Tbch a t5 frostclaw slam will probably be just fine. You dont need 3 or 4 til you start pushing

Because meta is shifting

Items are in demand

[hollow arrow]

2lp julras?

[safe grail]

Basic economics

[barren pawn]

sold a 3lp twisted for 70 l;ike a wek ago

[safe grail]

Yeah

[hollow arrow]

noice

buddy of mine got 1lp wings earlier

[mystic sparrow]

Gamble items with Favor. They count kinda double their cost in favor > Rep. Also, once you unlock the level for Ascendance rune, gamble items you need uniques, then ascend them for triple dip

[hollow arrow]

get that red ring lesgoooo

[naive halo]

what happen to my item in auction, if i switch to fortune, can people still buy them or what

[mystic sparrow]

I think they can? Not sure, I play HC Fortune, so not sure

[naive halo]

i bought my 3 LP syphon ring that from corruption boss for like 500k, early month, now they are 40m.... lol

[signal iron]

where did people get all this gold from lol

[barren pawn]

buying / selling

[royal tangle]

they bought their gold

[signal iron]

bottom line it has to come from somewhere though

ah true RMT

bunch of bots probably farming

[barren pawn]

selling drops is lucrative asf

[hollow arrow]

if i recall there was a gold dupe issue at the start of the cycle

[signal iron]

no what I mean is gold in circulation needs to come from mobs at the first point. So like if something sells for 40m, that 40m got farmed somewhere along the line.

[hollow arrow]

that came from redeeming items from your stall

got fixed but a few got into it pretty good i believe

[neon lynx]

It’s 100% rmt

Go look how cheap the gold is lol

[stiff crown]

My best sale from 8 days ago https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/613548388528553999/1216355923480674415/image.png?ex=6609513a&is=65f6dc3a&hm=7af52fd019bf2f17781c2a7fb4d7a4a0753488440e5c405a0919a3c90203531c&

[royal tangle]

all these kids that buy things 20m+ bought their gold

dont let them lie to u

[naive halo]

btw how long is each cycle last?

[royal tangle]

its why everything is so expensive

[safe grail]

like a year

[hollow arrow]

well prices are up so it lets me make gold that i didnt have to buy

[signal iron]

god damn, nice one!

[neon lynx]

Games 4 years old and this is first cycle. By my quik maffs cycle 2 should be in 2027

[naive halo]

wow thats too long, so we gonna stuck with this economy for 1 year huh

[signal iron]

actually? I thought it was like a quarterly thing

[safe grail]

no im memeing hard lmao. it's about 3-4 months

[signal iron]

lmao

[naive halo]

bruh

[hollow arrow]

3 more months of this then we do new chars

[queen gull]

why all the nines?... to make it look like an offer? /jk

[safe grail]

nah it's cus the next one up

was 190

lmfao

[hollow arrow]

its cuz kurii is sus

100%

[signal iron]

is there any other class as fun as runemaster? Finally managed to get to play online and thinking of starting from the beginning again (not like I was getting any drops ;_; when I was offline)

[royal tangle]

dont bother. anything worth playing will cost u 10b to gear up as runemaster

[tacit hornet]

thats why u play cof

[stiff crown]

💯

[safe grail]

this right here is why I kept telling ppl who were pushing offline during 1st week that they were whack af

[hollow arrow]

[stiff crown]

It's a habit I have. When people sort by price, I want mine to be first because most people do Even numbers. Plus it's psychological

[queen gull]

Maybe just because I'm a dirty casual but I like playing why whatever I find... Just now I'm starting to get 2LP constantly so I'm happy...

[barren pawn]

mods..

[safe grail]

mod scene is dead to me cus live service games exist

i want a PD2 D2R so bad but blizzard is gay

[barren pawn]

wdym

oh because updates fekk mods?

[safe grail]

no because live service games

exist

so none of them do an offline mode

so i havent enjoyed a good modded game since PD2.

[barren pawn]

what do live service games have to do with offline modes....

[safe grail]

I just said u goober

like no games do an offline mode anymore

so modding doesnt really exist on a lot of more modern games

[barren pawn]

Wolcen, ( sh1t though ti was ) had a slappin mod scene for a while despite being live service

[safe grail]

oh GOD wolcen lmfao

[queen gull]

All the MiHoyo games...

[haughty pine]

with rune of winter does the freeze chance effect everything or only valcuno orb and static blast?

[signal iron]

yea its kinda ass ;_;

[safe grail]

more what i meant anyway was that if you wanna play online at any point, playing offline was kind of a waste.

[signal iron]

wcyd

if you like mods try grim dawn a try ex, my favourite arpg personally

[safe grail]

i played grim dawn. very solid game

[haughty pine]

hey ex, what does rune of winter effect when it says freeze chance is it global or only tied to the 2 skills it says?

[safe grail]

it would explicitly state it on the passive. so it's global

[haughty pine]

wasnt sure

[hollow arrow]

dam still no armor blessing from fire timeline

[barren pawn]

dont do this to me

i need that

[safe grail]

just like

get the blessing

[hollow totem]

[barren pawn]

rng is rng homie

[inner tinsel]

is there anyway to target farm the mage relic? been farming for the +3 frost claw for a week now and havent seen one dropped

[hollow totem]

exalted relic prophecies that's about it

[inner tinsel]

been doing it, i guess RNG god hates me

[hollow totem]

I just got to empowered monos am not looking forward to the grind.

Prob gonna go farm timeline for relic increase drop blessing rq

[plain glade]

My bad bro, I’ll be more generous

[inner tinsel]

do u want me to shine ur shoes now? i promise ill do a good job

[plain glade]

I’ll give you a tip I don’t give others; farm for other things, and soon, ye shall claim ye rewards.

[hollow arrow]

you gave me that tip yesterday

and made me pay for it

[plain glade]

All things, even free, has a cost.

[hollow arrow]

rank 8 : )

[broken eagle]

someone tried frost wall with fireball sorceres build?

[cloud summit]

how does a stat X 3% uncapped resistence work ?

is it every time u have 3% of said resistence u have the bonus until it hit cap ? or just every 3%

[sturdy summit]

What do you guys think, at level 12 when you first get frostclaw, is it better to first spec towards Celestial Conflux, or first go for Volley of Glass?

[sturdy summit]

uncapped means it uses your resists before they get capped. Your total resistances. If it says you get 1% mana regen for every 3% lightning resist, it means you get 1/3 of your Lightning Resist as Increased Mana Regen

[still stump]

I have 2 2LP hearts and nothing to slam on them

[sturdy summit]

t7 int

[still stump]

t7 int and +2?

[sturdy summit]

yeah, I guess

pretty sure you should be able to make it work with +2

[still stump]

core and omnis?

I havent messed with it in a while but rn I have a core cuz it has t7 int and I got an omnis so I use that but idk if its better than just a well rolled crit neck

[sick falcon]

what type of spells want crit chance?

[sturdy summit]

spells that aren't dots, where you've specced into base crit in particular. A lot of spells can choose to be built to either deal direct damage that crits, or be a vehicle to apply lots of ailments and do damage over time.

frost claw is an example of that. It can be specced either for crit or for dot

[thin tree]

Anyone doing a fireball runemaster type build?

[safe grail]

no

fire is just overall kinda ass

im sure you could probably do some sort of weird lightning coverted fireball build tho

[signal iron]

does online have a higher unique drop rate or something? Ive gotten 4 uniques at lvl 16 so far. I had like 0 until lvl 40 something offline

[safe grail]

which would be not ass

[thin tree]

hm ok

[sick falcon]

noted. channeling can crit yeah? just dots that dont

[toxic ingot]

RIP. Finally got a 2nd Soulfire Bastion key, game froze up/lagged for 2sec and I was dead on un-freeze

Guess Gambler's Fallacy is further in the future.

[thin tree]

curious, what makes fire so bad compared to others?

[sturdy summit]

channeling is a dot, check its tags

[safe grail]

fire just wants to do things w/ ignite which is terrible

[sick falcon]

ah i missed the tags. thanks

[safe grail]

cause DoTs can't crit and in general, dots don't scale well enough

so you have to kind of over invest into something that can't really scale too well

[thin tree]

ah, so long run it's not great.

[safe grail]

and then on top of everything else, ward gen is harder w/ fire skills

[sturdy summit]

there are ways to make dots work for a while, but their real weakness is that they can't take advantage of mage's absolutely incredible scaling with Int. Disintegrate is a spell, but Ignite and Frostbite are not, so they don't benefit directly from int like crit does.

[thin tree]

I see, yeah so far i've been having a decent time with fire runemaster, but I'm only on corruption 4 lvl 90, so I think it's time to start prioritizing items for another build

[sturdy summit]

I think frostbite is best among the dot builds. Its advantage is that its damage scales with freeze rate, so you can freeze almost anything, and that's a way of scaling your defense.

[safe grail]

the other problem is

the build you want to try to play is rah-rah-rah fireball

but you can't convert any of the runic invocations to other ele types

so you lock into fire w/ that notion

[thin tree]

yeah that's what I run right now

[safe grail]

yeah so you could theoritically build crit cap w/ that build and take the node where you get ward on area skill usage

but you will still end up using a builder skill to get 3 rah

which means you'd play fireball or fireclaw

or triple fire runebolt

which means you also have to play a more APM heavy build because you wont be taking immutable order to use frostguard's for extra DR and ward

so you'd have to find another defensive layer outside ward gen tbch

which are out there. it requires a bit of trial and error

[thin tree]

cool, thanks for the info

[fallow zealot]

which affixes are most important for ladel? frost claw/lightning build im guessing shock and electrify?

[sick falcon]

sorry im still a little confused, so disintegrate has "spell" and "damage over time", im assumed that "+spell damage" works because it is still a spell

[nimble shoal]

Correct

[nimble shoal]

No

[turbid quail]

is runemaster so far above that we never see any sorcerer builds? new to mage

[sturdy summit]

yes, spell damage works because it has the spell tag, and crits don't because it has the damage over time tag.

[teal oasis]

Sorcerer is the cosplayer with a foam sword, rune master is the cosplayer with a real sword (wand, whatever)

[sick falcon]

thanks friend

[teal oasis]

Meteor needs a buff or something

Maybe less mana consumption

[broken eagle]

sorceres is good

just no so OP as runemaster

but can do 800 corruption

[turbid quail]

dang yeah, just looked at it it's 52 mana at start... guess I'm going rune master, I hate managing mana 😆

[safe grail]

I am planning to make a sorc next to experiment. I think sorc is okay just need to abuse the passive

But. I sleep now. I must adult tomorrow

[broken eagle]

yeah i will try frost wall with firebalkl

look like a fun interaction

[hollow totem]

is it worth running unstable core or static shell for nova claw if you lose out on int?

[hollow arrow]

welp time to try this 2lp foot

[brittle elbow]

Guys you think I can push high curroption with the spark charge frost claw build I have all the gear for it except the red ring
And I have the correct stats slammed into some of my uniques only being tier 6 instead of 7 but I’m going to farm for t7 upgrades

[still stump]

😮

https://imgur.com/Jz7LcxA

[hollow arrow]

dang nice

[barren pawn]

level 100 and rank 8

time to gear up

[still stump]

what should my points look like in frost call with omnis/core/+2 ?

3 in celestial conflux or 4 in spark of celerity?

[hollow arrow]

more nova chance i'd say if you already doing great in mana effi

[still stump]

its been ages since I have had to change my build lol

[hollow arrow]

rip failed 2lp foot

didnt even get int or ms, went into other two

[brittle elbow]

I hope Il be able to farm high enough curroption to farm for good upgrades

Is there a curroption level in which you start getting t7 affixes more often ?

[hollow arrow]

welp guess i'll do a few soul runs and hit relics

gotta make some money soon here

finally armor from fire timeline lmao

now for winter

[green verge]

Hi, Any suggestion to target farm + Frost Claw relics? what's better? Prophecy or Dungeons? (SSF)

[hollow arrow]

get prophecy in dungeons and double dip

[green verge]

Sounds like a plan, which dungeon is better ? Lightless arbor or Soulfire?

[hollow arrow]

arbor takes gold but you can aim for relics and dupes

soul is gamba but only requires the currency from killing mobs

[brittle elbow]

Maybe mix and mash

Kk

[hollow arrow]

as you reroll prophecys maybe do what you get more of, or collect both and mix it up

ye

[green verge]

Thanks guys!

[brittle elbow]

I’m got all the gear ready not at the perfect level but hopefully I can’t compete and get into decent curroption to farm upgrades for myself

Il be making my runemaster as soon as I get to work kk

[green verge]

that frost claw affix is so rare LOL, only have 2 relics with that mod (t6 and t7)

[brittle elbow]

I wasn’t able to get any of the good affixes at t7 not int not cast speed and not crit multi

Il be hoping t6 is enough to at least start playing and upgrade as I go

[hollow totem]

is 24 points in claw enough to go the nova variant?

[hollow arrow]

im doing nova variant at 23

no mana issues

[hollow totem]

with volley of glass?

and how many points in the top right node that gives mana efficiency?

[hollow arrow]

yeah

2 in spark

[brittle elbow]

I’m excited to try the build already it looks so cool and fun

[hollow totem]

really only 2 in spark?

[hollow arrow]

ye

[hollow totem]

you take the bottom left nodes too or no? @hollow arrow

[brittle elbow]

Will have to do a leveling build first tough I prepared a lot of leveling gear to have a good time like firstarter torch calamity and tome of elements with lps

[hollow arrow]

I have everything except frozen malice on bottom left

2 into elemental nova proc, 2 in spark

[hollow totem]

word?

[hollow arrow]

i have frozen reign, and 3 into the gift of winter

and does me great

[hollow totem]

dps solid? At what corr are you currently?

[hollow arrow]

i can clear 300 with np right now

im hanging around it tho cuz im still farming alot of int stuff

and bouncing around chars

but im at corr 400 for emperor

[hollow totem]

alr big bet thx I think Imma make the swap then

[hollow arrow]

ye

i can also clear t4's no problem

[hollow totem]

300 is a solid spot to stop and farm is nit not?

[hollow arrow]

ye believe so

sorry in im soul dungeon rn

[hollow totem]

ig my only question is it best to go for unstable core and lose 18 int and some res or omnis for the extra point and lose spell crit crit multi and armor shred?

[hollow totem]

alg and thx

[hollow arrow]

i dont have int on my core yet/helm

and nothing on boots yet

i thought about getting omnis but im doing alright with my ammy rn

since it rolled pretty well

[hollow totem]

alr bet thx

[zenith vessel]

Can someone help me fight god of storms monolith?

[stiff crown]

For Elemental Nova triggered by Frost Claw, the element type of the nova is random depending on if you have the element node enabled? So if I only want lightning novas, I would not spec in fire and cold. Is that correct?

[barren pawn]

https://imgur.com/a/luYafhN someone scammed themselves. this was listed for 10m, and i caught it within 1 minute of being posted.

4lp peak babybeeeeee

[burnt sandal]

crafting feels very hard D:

[barren pawn]

pretty wasy once you get it

easy

[hollow totem]

what blessings do you suggest farming for first?

[burnt sandal]

i feel like what you loot is like crafting pieces and then you gotta put it all together lol

[tardy comet]

Why is that helmet good?

The stats look alright

[barren pawn]

absolutely insant amount of spell crit.

[tardy comet]

??

[barren pawn]

and + 5 to all attributes

[barren pawn]

its has a cap of + 290% spell crit.

[tardy comet]

It doesn’t say to spell though

[barren pawn]

and + 5 all attributes

[tardy comet]

It just says crit chances

[barren pawn]

potato potato./

Crit chance affects both

[tardy comet]

Oh?

[hollow arrow]

i just made my way up from start

but i think it's uhhhh emperor that has the 20% max resists for all

[hollow totem]

yeah that's him alright thx

[hollow arrow]

i took that for sure cuz of the bonus

then i got crit multi from black sun i think?

[hollow totem]

alr cool ty

[hollow arrow]

hmmm +4 meteor chest from soul gambler

with +3 fireball

could be worth something

[tardy comet]

lol

No

[hollow arrow]

I'll take a mil over nothing

last one sold for mil with +4 meteor so

[winter crow]

They should add a system to trade favor for gold

favor is literally useless lol

im jealous of the cof ppl enjoying it

[hollow arrow]

lmao game crashed

[jaunty vault]

What is the best entry level runemaster build to start climbing corruption? I'm looking at FC lightning blast or FC nova eight now

[winter crow]

look bootynoodles on yt, fireclaw build is the best starter one imo

[hollow totem]

I am thinking my fc is bugged. It is sitting at 3 mana cost with volley of glass equipped and my dps seems quite abysmal

[hollow arrow]

hmm

got a pic of your fc nodes

[hollow totem]

Yeah one sec

Won't let me send here mind if you send you it on dms?

[hollow arrow]

ye sure

[jaunty vault]

Like this? https://youtu.be/2gzxZEEAWs8?feature=shared

[winter crow]

yes

[still stump]

why does flame rush just not work sometimes while holding it

so irritating

[muted kindle]

^ same

also, is prismatic gaze really that good?

[still stump]

its +4 to base crit right which is pretty nutty

[muted kindle]

ah yeah, i only got +2 unfortunately

i suppose shredding elemental resistances is huge too

[fallow zealot]

just tried 8 times to slam crit multi and cast speed on 2lp fragment and still going lol rng is crazy

[still stump]

next time for sure

my hunt for the elusive red ring continues

[fallow zealot]

i hope so i have 3 tries left now lol

[fallow zealot]

i got one from rune of ascendance today lol

[still stump]

you got this

bro is that the move do I just asc it

[fallow zealot]

#👑┃item-showcase message

i read somewhere doing it on silver rings give u better odds? not sure if true but I got one from silver ring rune of ascendance

[still stump]

is that real or cope

can never tell nowadays

[fallow zealot]

probably cope lol

but i got one so real for me haha

[hollow arrow]

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

thinking of getting omnis but hard to swap out this ammy

but i could use the resists lmao

[winter crow]

swap to omnis once you get 4% prism gaze

so you wont need crit chance

or get 1lp omnis with crit chance

light dmg and armor shred arent as important

[hollow arrow]

hmmmm kk

any opinion on crest for helm over gaze

i know you lose out on the crit so it's a rip

[winter crow]

yeah im glad I dont use it anymore

and do more dmg

XD

[winter crow]

yeah for fc nova dont

[hollow arrow]

i like rush cuz i can skip walls in julra lmao

[winter crow]

I can also do it with my "tp"

but its not really a tp

its just runic inv

[barren pawn]

which dungeon was julras?

[still stump]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/o3Zg7R0B any ideas on what to upgrade next? I would like a red ring but it doesnt appear to be happening, can prob get better gloves and a way better omnis, my luck slamming a ladle has been laughable

my stats may even be a bit wonky because I had to re set them like 3 or 4 times today so I need to do a quick look over lol

[winter crow]

1lp omnis, 4% gaze, static shell, erased gloves with t7 int and high rolls,

[still stump]

I had 2 sick gloves and then they just never hit int again

[winter crow]

yeah its hard

[still stump]

bastards

[winter crow]

it took me a long time to get mine

you need more armor

[still stump]

what point do I drop in fc when I get static

[winter crow]

you can drop like 3 points

drop frozen malice and that will reduce the cost so you can drop 2 points in mana eff

frozen malice is a bait node

with nova, your clear is already good

ppl fall for the +3 fc bait when its not needed

[still stump]

yeah I remember you saying that so I sacrificed my first born for that relic

[winter crow]

glad it turned out well

also I found new tech which makes the build 35% stronger

a youtuber will make a guide out of it soon

[hollow arrow]

crest with FC nova bad idea why? Not enough crit to go for it?

just curious

[winter crow]

we dont need extra points in nova

nova does super low dmg

and ye we need crit

[hollow arrow]

ahhhhh

kk

well i ahve a crest with int if i ever need to swap

picked up a 4% gaze from market tho for 500k

since mine was 3%
