[opaque oxide]

whats your guys mana cost for frostclaw nova build? not sure if i missed something, mines costing 28 mana per

[winter crow]

1lp 4% for 500k?

thats cheap af

[winter crow]

shouldn't cost more than 23

[fallow zealot]

lol 0/11

i give up

[still stump]

noooooo 😦

[winter crow]

dont spec frozen malice node, max gift of winter and put atleast 2-3 points in mana eff, also use x2 fc mana eff idols

[opaque oxide]

ill try it ty

[glass canopy]

ty also cause its a pain with mana

[glass canopy]

said 2-3 points in mana eff, where is that precisely, spark of celerity ?

[winter crow]

yes

Also I recommend watching bootynoodles mana juggling vid if you still struggle with it

[hearty cypress]

xD

[glass canopy]

great help ty

[sage creek]

does a spark charge mage care about crit chance

[burnt sandal]

do i have to do the temporal sanctum every time i wnat to craft a legendary?

[terse patio]

yes

[hearty cypress]

yep

[burnt sandal]

alright... how do i get + runic invocation on this bad boy

wait

i can't craft this

says it needs to be below level 50?

[neon lynx]

Bootynoodle is a wild name

[burnt sandal]

this crarfting system is so convoluted 😦

[sage creek]

it adds alot?

[hearty cypress]

what?

the same ratio, wtf?

[jaunty vault]

Did you run a low level temporal sanctum?

[sage creek]

why is crit good

[hearty cypress]

spend time reading

adnd thinking

[burnt sandal]

yeah it's all i had unlocked, i'm only like level 68

[sage creek]

spark charge base is what does the deeps, can it crit?

[trim jasper]

Anything thats not a dot can crit

[hollow arrow]

why is crit bad

is crit why

[barren pawn]

first julra kill gives me an lp 1 stardial lmao

[river prawn]

crit is when and then I and the should when the

[calm night]

i dunno about that build, but if i had to take a guess, i'd wager that it is because spark charge is 5% with no way to increase the base directly

[hearty cypress]

what??

lol

[hollow arrow]

ahhhhhh yes i see

[hearty cypress]

ur crazy saying that

[hollow arrow]

but HOW is crit

is it here or is it then

[sage creek]

does elemental nova freeze

[river prawn]

There's freeze mechanics in the in game guide I'm sure

[still stump]

yeah that bottom left node for fc is such bait wtf

def feels nice with a static shell rn

[hearty cypress]

i feel so bad seeing people being baited into going full unique gear lol

[neon lynx]

It always who’s the crit

[hearty cypress]

wild to me that people dont teach ehp

t7 exalted gear is alwasy better than static shell until u manage to 2lp slam it

[neon lynx]

Who?

[hollow arrow]

yes but crit is who

[neon lynx]

Never how’s the crit

[hollow arrow]

always whens the crit

[river prawn]

Crit is a government drone

[hollow arrow]

oh no crit taxes

😭

[fallow zealot]

anybody play frost claw/nova?

[hollow totem]

Only like 75%+ of the people in this channel lmao

[barren pawn]

3 successful slams

[zenith vessel]

Does someone wanna inv me and help lvl up a lvl 2 sentinnel

[neon lynx]

nop

[fallow zealot]

lol was wondering whats so important about stacking int 150+

[hollow totem]

it's insane dps upgrade and affects cast speed iirc

[fallow zealot]

is there a reason to hit 150 or just as high as possible?

[hollow totem]

I'm not sure if there are diminishing returns but 150 is a good target to aim for

[fallow zealot]

ok so its not like hitting 150 unlocks something im unaware of

[hollow totem]

no it doesn't get you anything extra you wouldn't already have I don't believe. But still good to stack int as high as possible

also if you have or plan to use red ring then it helps significantly as you need to stack all your attributes collectively to 180

[fallow zealot]

I think I can hit 180 but i dont know if I can hit 150 int haha

i think max i could hit is like 135?

[hollow totem]

135 is solid. Basically just go for int slams on everything you can

and the obvi +3-4 fc ranks on twisted heart

[fallow zealot]

yeah theres no way thats gonna work out haha

[hollow totem]

I feel ya. I have seen 2 yellows only with +1 rank to fc

[fallow zealot]

i just went ahead and bought a twisted heart with +3 FC cuz +3 exalt relics were like 30m each

[hearty cypress]

if u want +4 fc just grind sanctum

t4

[hollow totem]

how does that increase doprs for it?

[hearty cypress]

i got my 2lp th from 100 corr so

sanctum has the highest amount of unique mobs

which drops better loot than white mobs

[hollow totem]

ah I see

didn't know that

[hearty cypress]

and theyre easy to kill so for fc nova its really chill

so full clear both floors

like both timelines

and both floors

[hollow totem]

hmm Might have to try that then tbh

[hearty cypress]

i can guarantee u its good

[barren pawn]

damn 3 good slams in a row and then my 4th one bricks a 30m item

[hearty cypress]

chump change

[hollow totem]

+3 claw relic O.o

sad part is other rolls will be ass

[fallow zealot]

lol im 0/11 on fragment for crit multi + cast speed

[hearty cypress]

mm

im full t7 cast speed except fragment

489% cast speed w/o shrine buffs

[fallow zealot]

damn lol im only at 150

[hearty cypress]

yea i cant remember when i was 150

i have 267 unbuffed

[fallow zealot]

mind linking me ur build? would love to take some pointers

[hearty cypress]

prob not linking but ill screenshare and show it to u if you want

[fallow zealot]

no worries not asking u to prove it haha just wanna see what i can improve on but i understand

[hearty cypress]

plus i play sorc not runemage

i play straight lightning blast spark charge

[fallow zealot]

ahh i see

[hearty cypress]

whihc imo is superior on all counts

on its best gear

ive seen the rm builds, i dont think theyre good with how unique locked they are

and how badly placed fc is (on relic)

but tahts just how i feel about it

[grave iris]

lol they don’t have to be unique locked, they are just BIS items

[hearty cypress]

idk

theres more nuance than that

[grave iris]

i don’t think you understand how Legendary BIS works

[hearty cypress]

im 4500 hours on this game and about 3.5k hours on sorc alone so i do.

but its ok

i think people just have different perspective and feel about it

[grave iris]

😭😂skill issue

[hearty cypress]

no, not lacking skill to understand it

just seeing things that otehrs dont

every gear piece is just stat vessel and the thing is if you dont actually use the stat, its redundant

same reason why u can get away with having 0% phys and 0% void/poison res in 2k corr if u just know every mob attack pattern

or if u have really good delivery

like when people value omnis the way they do

and then they also like, go overkill wtih damage

but not thinking about cdr when travesal skill does actualyl make ur grind faster

thats nuance

bis doesnt exist in this game, the fact is that u should be having multiple pieces of gear for every situation

for example if youre just pushing corruption, t7 exp haste is about the best thing u can get on shoes

not more int/damage

with bosses, what matters is nto about how fast you can kill it, at the end of the dya its about how you can make sure you actually dont die

and get the loot

[toxic ingot]

Yeah, redundant/useless stats on Runemaster gear has been frustrating to see

[hearty cypress]

this is my grievances with how everyone builds that class

i genuinely think its super garbage

idk who in their right mind actually thinks omni is good

[toxic ingot]

Ignivar's Head giving ignite chance on-hit when you have to drop both damage and def nodes just to make Disintegrate able to use that stat in the first place is weird.

[hearty cypress]

when t7 mana regen literally is better on necklace

and has way way better vlaue than what omnis do for you

sorc is still unbeatable when it comes to efficiency

like its so crazy straightforward and how modular lightning blast build is

the facft that u can have 10 different rings that fit that build

between t7 int on siphon, ocearon, ferebor, ashes

they all have value and its not dictating players to only use one piece of gear

[toxic ingot]

Kinda wish we could change our mastery

[hearty cypress]

if u want to start a sorc

i can leech u

[toxic ingot]

Is Hydra Runemaster unique-dependant?

[hearty cypress]

yea

i think any runemaster is

cause when u think about it

theyre all uniques

and rm is so weak without those things

frostclaw requires mana and other attachments for it to really do something

u play sorc lightning blast, all u need is literally int and cast speed

[grave iris]

bro trying so hard to convince us sorcerer is good 😭

[hearty cypress]

oh i mean if u cant see it its ok

[toxic ingot]

I find it weird that most Runemaster builds I've seen people talk about they don't seem to rely on runic invocations, which was supposed to be the theme of the mastery.

[hearty cypress]

u can play rm

doesnt bother me

[glossy igloo]

how good is shattered cycle lp3?

[hearty cypress]

this is a mage channel afaik

i can talk about sorc

[grave iris]

😂

[hearty cypress]

sorc is even stronger cuz now u can borrow so many things from runemaster

mainly passives

[sturdy summit]

Do all 4 different sources of 30% More Damage from Elemental Nova's Shatter Nova stack if you have all 4 ailments on the target?

[wise fjord]

my buddy is playing spellblade build he has elemental dmg over time on his items but it says hes got 0 when he hits c, do you need to get items with regular dmg over time?

[toxic ingot]

Isn't that the only thing any mastery can borrow from another?

[hearty cypress]

well apart from spells

but nothing from urnemaster is worth using as sorc

flame rush is so bad on sorc lol

[toxic ingot]

If it's the same node, I think they'd be additive with each other, then multiply

[sturdy summit]

the way it's worded as 4 different effects makes me wonder if this might be an exception.

[grave iris]

😭bro said sorc is better cause you can use rm passive then proceed to said nothing from rm is worth it 😂😂🙏bless your soul

[hearty cypress]

ur straight from the emoji movie

[toxic ingot]

Think they meant no spells are worth it

[hearty cypress]

yep

i can def think of a good build for runemaster

but i just havent spent time with it yet

just dont feel like playing worse buidl than what i got atm

[naive halo]

can i make legendary unstable core, but with other role body armor exalted?

[hearty cypress]

idk what ur asking

[grave iris]

not sure if you can use other class armor

[hearty cypress]

u can

itll just be locked into that class lol

[naive halo]

oh RIP

i was going to use T7 int in rogue armor cause its c heap in there

[hearty cypress]

yeah unfortunately

[neon lynx]

You can use it as long as the rogue armor doesn’t have any rogue specific affixes on it

[open void]

cold penetration with frostbite mean its only work with frostbite ?

[neon lynx]

4500 hours just to be missing basic game knowledge 😭

[hearty cypress]

what?

[river prawn]

It means frostbite penetrates cold damage

[sturdy summit]

yes, cold pen with frostbite and increased elemental damage over time are the two main ways to scale frostbite tick size

[open void]

ty

[sturdy summit]

and use frostbite duration, frostbite chance with cold spells, armor shred chance, and cast speed to increase how many stacks you have on the target

[karmic cradle]

Runemaster with frostclaw or the lightning marksman is better rn to push and farm corruption? Now that lock is dead pretty much. Anyone knows or tested any of these builds?

[hearty cypress]

imo nothing is faster than lightning blast sorc for corruption pushing

can u push with frostclaw:? ofc

but if ur talking about rushing monos specifically and gearing, lb sorc is the best

[inner vale]

is mage the class with most uniques fitting for mage builds? I've noticed..stash is almost full

[reef cliff]

does a lightning blast build also work with teleport/elemental nova auto going off , or is frost wall that much better? been looking to switch over from frost claw but every build i see uses frost wall and the fire movement skill (forogot the name sorry )

[wild mural]

Ok, so I just learned that more skill nodes inside skill tree increase the ailment damage they apply. Does intelligence increase ailment damage, assuming the skill scales of INT?

[brittle elbow]

At what curroption level you guys find that it’s easier to get t7 affixes to drop
And if I have all of the gear for the frost claw spark charge except the red ring but I have the correct stats at t6 and not t7 can I still do decent curroption?

[grave iris]

that is more of a cof ranking, and the spark charge version sucks unless it the latest booty noodle version

[hearty cypress]

i dont use nova during tele, its not needed

the lightning blast build works without anything else going on. it procs spakr charge and spark nova

and it has way higher multiplier than what nova would do with spark charge

because lb has 200% more damage with spark charge procced with it

so it actually works almost like burst damage

[brave laurel]

how tf do I get t6\t7 +frostclaw relic? literally inpossible for me XD

[grave iris]

more likely with COF for sure

[reef cliff]

tnks for the info! ill go and look at one of the lightning blast builds and see what has my interest in skill setups 🙂

[brave laurel]

am in merchants(

[grave iris]

ye that definitely not optimal lmao

also did the switch from plasma orb to frost claw, way more fun agreed

[safe grail]

Best you’ll be able to do is farm for good items, sell them and buy a +3

[unborn hamlet]

Sorry to hear that 😔

[tacit hornet]

lmao fr

[unborn hamlet]

Better prepare 300mil for a 1LP attempt

[tacit hornet]

300m for 25% what good odds

[unborn hamlet]

Sacrifice a young child to the old ones or something

Is this the time where I flex my CoF +3 claw twisted heart?

[opaque void]

yeah...MG feels ruined rn...really making me consider CoF

[tacit hornet]

why are you considering it

do it

[unborn hamlet]

If you don't RMT good luck ever getting a meta build together in MG

[tacit hornet]

it's quite nice making 200k favour in an hour then dropping it all on chests to get 3lp exangs

or dropping favour on rings and farming 1lp red rings

[unborn hamlet]

1.5m favor in frozen ire farm still no 3LP I'm going insane

[tacit hornet]

😭

[opaque void]

its unreal rn...ppl asking 50m-100m gold for 1h of alt boosting. like...where tf are people even getting that much gold???

[unborn hamlet]

Managed to slam t6 mana reduce into a 2LP one

[tacit hornet]

rmt.

[unborn hamlet]

And while it's ok

My DMG tank hard

[opaque void]

like...im at a point where i dont even know what build or class to play anymore.

"Fun" just feels out the window rn.

[unborn hamlet]

Im gonna use it when I swap to the rings I'm looking for just to have Necro res capped, but yeah, still on that 3LP hunt

[trim jasper]

I wonder if theres some kind of drop bias for mad laddle

Been farming for days with my paladin and RM and only got a single drop, when my falconer on offline gets them like every 10 encounters

[tacit hornet]

lower corruption = higher chance for ladle

[trim jasper]

Wait really? That kinda makes sense if true because the only 1 I dropped was from T4 dungeon kek

[tacit hornet]

yup

idk why

idk im thinking of switching from frostclaw to LM

[grave iris]

it seem like the ladle drops higher for lower levels too

[hearty cypress]

tbh this is false

people have been getting meta build together before mg existed

i see the obsession of 3-4lp and i just smh because thats not even a reality for what the game intended it to be

[tacit hornet]

average mg propaganda victim:

[hearty cypress]

but can you put a meta build together? yea

just maybe think about gear outside of what everybody uses

[grave iris]

but is it easier with MG? yes

[hearty cypress]

idk

i dont think its really that easy

[tacit hornet]

we all play meta anyway lol meta gear is inflated

[hearty cypress]

bc so many mg players just look like giga dead broke players to me

with no gear

[grave iris]

he don’t 😂

[hearty cypress]

i literally have better gear than a lot of mg players that ive seen

i dont even udnerstand how

[eager wharf]

where does the bulk of frostclaw builds ward gen come from? The Celestial Doom passive?

I get that there's a lot of retention from the int, but the amount generated just seems insane

[soft elm]

Becouse on MG u can start buy exalted thing at t7 and they cost millions gold, we just find them 😄

[unborn hamlet]

It's more about the items

Frostbite shackles, snowdrifts

Twisted heart

All very powerful ward gen items

If you add in strands of souls as well, you can spit out 30k ward in like 5 seconds

Then you have opulent as your offhand to get some ward decay threshold as well, and yeah

It just works wonders

[eager wharf]

I see thanks

[grave iris]

snowdrift? what is opulent?

[brittle elbow]

Wait spark charge frost claw uses snowdrift and frozen shackles ?

I saw it uses blood of the exile and exalted gloves

[grave iris]

it doesn’t use snowdrift, that plasma orb

[glass canopy]

for runemaster, both crit multi and spell crit multi are ok as affixes?

[safe grail]

Orb doesnt use snowdrifts

It uses mourningfrost

[grave iris]

lol not snap version, you’re using the outdated maxwell version

[grave iris]

spell crit multi is usually higher % i believe

[safe grail]

Huh

Oh

Nvn

I see

[grave iris]

https://youtu.be/A2vcF17FvhE?si=F_GYWWTK8Aeqhv1D the build is quiet terrible to gear but it use snowdrift

[safe grail]

And i dont use maxroll. Terrible site

[safe grail]

Yeah. He uses mourningfrosts in the wrongwarp version in that build

But anyway

Off to work

[grave iris]

yes, i used it too

[signal yew]

So I am trying to get a +3 frost claw relic, and I added three shards to get T3 level of frost claw, but it didnt up the rank at all on this relic. Does adding shards not rank it up with each shard? Is it like a tier threshold?

I added three shards to get T3, but it's still only +1 rank of Frost Claw, for example.

[safe grail]

T1-4 is 1 t5 is 2 t6 3 and t7 4 @signal yew

Hope that helps

So the only way to get a +3/+4 is by an exalted relic drop or buying it if youre MG

[signal yew]

Exactly wjat O meed/ Sheesh so if you're CoF you are at the mercy of a lucky drop if you want to even TRY and slam it. Yikes

[safe grail]

Yep

This is why FC is kinda bad lol

(Imo its bad)

[tidal ingot]

quick question!
does Preparation work with Disintegrate? i've seen mixed views online and i can't really see a difference when i'm using it

[stiff crown]

That’s the whole point of COf

[grave iris]

it not bad, just skill point intensive to build enabling

[safe grail]

Which makes it bad imo. You have to either get lucky with a +3/+4 or stack a bunch of skill point uniques, taking away other well statted options of items

[grave iris]

hmm i guess yeah it is kind of ass i need a lp 1 twisted heart on top of that

[safe grail]

For a 25% chance

[tacit hornet]

dude i wanna main det arrow purely for the boss insta kills but its so boring and slow

[safe grail]

2 LP isnt even more heartbreaking when you dont hit

[grave iris]

😂imagine getting a 2 lp twisted heart it took me 3 days to even get a regular one

[tacit hornet]

LMAO WHY DID D4 JUST LAUNCH

[safe grail]

When you finally get one, farm runes for a rune of creation. This will allow you to make a copy in case you brick your slam

[stiff crown]

Just get an LP4 so you don’t need to worry about missing the slam. Ez

[safe grail]

1200 IQ

[tacit hornet]

this, you get a t7 frost claw relic from prophecy? doubled. then rune of creation the two, you then have 4

so op

[signal yew]

Good tip homie. Much appreciated

[wheat raft]

How's sorcerer ?

[tacit hornet]

💩

[safe grail]

P sure this how a homie in a diff discord slammed so many LP 1 heard 2 days ago

[signal yew]

Honestly I'm havinga great timew tih the non nova variant of the build, but I def want to ramp it up

[tacit hornet]

that was prob me ngl

[safe grail]

Was it you in booty’s disc two nights ago?

Lmao

[tacit hornet]

actually i slammed my heart like 4 days ago

[tacit hornet]

oh nah not me

[safe grail]

Ah ok

[tacit hornet]

he

booty

hehe

[safe grail]

So sorc is not inherently sht, RM just does everything it can do almost always better

Now this traffic im in?

That’s sht

[tacit hornet]

bro is texting and driving

😂

[safe grail]

Stop and go traffic

What else is there to do lmao

[tacit hornet]

are you driving a manual

[safe grail]

Nah

[tacit hornet]

was gonna say

rip to ur left leg

[wheat raft]

and spellblade ?

[safe grail]

Now spellblade

Is pretty ass

Lol

[wheat raft]

ow

[safe grail]

It takes a lot to get going and rn you need good game knowledge to not die so much

[tacit hornet]

if you pick anything other than mage you will just be way way weaker

[safe grail]

RM*

[tacit hornet]

yes ^

im at 1k corruption and dont have t7 slammed on my chest

ugh

i cant get a good 1lp chest tho

[safe grail]

I’d just crank dat ish in 2nd and grind the fk outta my trans

Lmao

[grave iris]

how much forging potential does rune of creation take? all of it ?

[safe grail]

Yes

[wheat raft]

that's too bad. I really wanted to try out meteor

[safe grail]

It takes all of it

[wheat raft]

but I don't want to be stuck with an umplayable char

[tacit hornet]

im nearly done with driving lessons and jesus i can't wait to actually have affordable insurance on an auto

[safe grail]

They arent unplayable but if you have no game knowledge, there arent a lot of guides out rn

So you will be stuck playing and learning and theorycrafting

[wheat raft]

if that's the only issue, I'll be fine

[tacit hornet]

not unplayable it just sucks knowing you could of been way stronger

[wheat raft]

no I just though 200-300 corruption was the ceiling when ppl told me it was meh

[stiff crown]

The ceiling depends on the build. If I’d you’re playing a trash build and can get high corruption, you’re doing fine IMO. And even better if you enjoy the build. If your goal is to get the highest corruption possible on the server, then consider the meta builds

[wheat raft]

I understand that but there's some middle ground between 2k corruption and 200

[signal yew]

Are idols that give + spell crit chance to lightning spells, for example, calculated on the damage character sheet?

[stiff crown]

I don’t think so

[grave iris]

@safe grail how should i approach crafting this tier 7 frost claw https://imgur.com/a/SnSLW0u

[tacit hornet]

rune of creation it

[signal yew]

I have +46% increased critical strike chance with lightning skills on my idols, and 47% spell crit chance - Does this realistically mean 93% lightning crit chance?

[grave iris]

should i not try to get int on it at all?

[tacit hornet]

rune of removal is too risky, glyph of chaos possibly

[stiff crown]

You can try sealing the deck

[tacit hornet]

it depends, does ur heart have 2lp?

[stiff crown]

Dex

[tacit hornet]

alr has a sealed affix

oh nvm

[grave iris]

😭i dont have one but in the future i ma farm for one

[tacit hornet]

are u cof

[grave iris]

yes

[tacit hornet]

dude

u can just farm them with prohpecies

u can get inf

one costs 2.2k favour

[grave iris]

it a boss drop

not a regular drop

[tacit hornet]

we're talking about 2 diff things

my bad

i was talking about rune of creations

[grave iris]

oh

well yeah i have some, that not the issue

[tacit hornet]

well, like kurii said

seal dex put int?

[stiff crown]

No, the crit increase is off your base crit which is usually 5% plus any added flat crit

[grave iris]

so as long as i have one forging potential, i can creation it? and the new one will have 0 forging potential?

[tacit hornet]

yes

[stiff crown]

If sealing fails, you can Chaos it twice

[tacit hornet]

just make sure to leave any amount of FP on it

[grave iris]

should i add a suffix to increase the sealing chance

[tacit hornet]

u have to add a suffix

anyway to slam

it has to have 4 affixes

[grave iris]

that true

[stiff crown]

RIP @safe grail Shouldn’t have been texting and driving 🫡

[signal yew]

Is there any way on the character sheet to see a specific spell type's critical strike chance then after the math?

[grave iris]

nah that actually scary to craft this, i might just rune of creation it from the gecko

[tacit hornet]

bro is either dead or going 100

[tacit hornet]

that's what i would do

because even if u got int, it's not really BiS, and you would replace it soon anyway

[grave iris]

i am only going to get a 1 lp twisted heart if i am lucky anyway

[tacit hornet]

best case scenario u get a 2lp twisted heart and u slam t5 int and t7 frost claw

[grave iris]

will see, i need to get my other blessing first

have y’all seen booty noodle new update video on the frost claw with the dagger unique?

[tacit hornet]

i have a single 2lp twisted ima try and get t7 frost claw and int then slam lol

too bad the health converted to ward is min roll

[safe grail]

Lol. I got to the office had to find parking

[grave iris]

rn i only get around 3k ward killing regular mobs around the map and i desperately need a twisted heart to survive higher corruption

All because “we’Re bEtTeR toGetHeR”

[stiff crown]

It tells you how potential it will drain. Just play with it. If you have 19 potential and it says 1-18 potential loss then you’re safe

[stiff crown]

Thanks

[grave iris]

😭 nah i have ptsd from bricking a tier 7 experimental item a few days ago

rune of removal is ass sometimes when it consumes all 18 FP

[stiff crown]

Me not even having the opportunity to WFH because I’m essential

[safe grail]

OOF

[stiff crown]

Oh, I wouldn’t do removal. Not what I was recommending

[grave iris]

i removed every affix i didn’t wanted but i had no FP left on the experimental item so it was bricked

[unborn hamlet]

Removal is only Supa gamba

Only do it if you need to remove a T5

Because if you need to remove a T5 from an item that would otherwise be good it's worth a try

Since it's bricked either way

[grave iris]

despair the goat

[brittle elbow]

Wait so runemaster sparkcharge frost claw bad kk I spent so much time farming the unstable core strand of souls prismatic gaze and heart of urikinos for nothing kk

What do I do than

[grave iris]

switch to elemental nova

[brittle elbow]

Wdym

Do I need to refarm more gears

[grave iris]

no

https://youtu.be/VU-jl4rHkb0?si=2wiRaXPd_jBuHPqM

[brittle elbow]

So it’s just skill builds and passives that differs

[grave iris]

yeah you got most of the item, you got +3 frost claw right?

[safe grail]

I just don’t like FC because even w/ 24 skill pts in my gear, it feels like ass.

I’ve bricked 3x FC heart slams and gave up

[grave iris]

it definitely feel like ass without 26 points for sure especially if you don’t have 3 of the bottom left node and 20ish mana cost

[safe grail]

I’d have just barely over 20 and it was just meh

Currently playing LB spark charge with some of my own changes and finally just pushing corruption

[grave iris]

well did you try it with just a regular relic?

i only have a regular relic and still blasting rn

[safe grail]

It’d only net +2

Cause i was running twisted heart which is already +1

And then you lose a large chunk of ward gen

[tacit hornet]

ima be so honest

frostclaw feels so bad compared to det arrow

[grave iris]

but your frist claw level was only +1? and yeah i only generate 3k ward off non-boss which is abysmal

[safe grail]

So in my FC gear i have like

24 skill points

[grave iris]

det arrow look so fun

[tacit hornet]

det arrow kills 2.4k corruption orobyss in 2 secs

[safe grail]

But i put 3/3 celestial and not 2/3. So that means i get 2/5 into mana efficiency

[valid flame]

Why is my RI lighting, fire, ice? https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/A21Zmg4o
I'm following bootynoodles guide, and he has lightning, fire, lightning.

[grave iris]

ye having 4/5 mana efficiency is game changing with the 2 ornate idol mana efficiency

[safe grail]

Do you have your skills ordered correctly on your actionbar?

[valid flame]

That matters? lol..

[grave iris]

for imputable order yeah

[safe grail]

Yes. Because RI has the node immutable order which literally says it generates runes based on the elements of left to right skills on your actionbar

[valid flame]

Lol

[safe grail]

So you need to have snap freeze, flame ward, flame rush from left to right

[valid flame]

No way for me to just move it?

I have to respec?

[tacit hornet]

no

click on the skill

on ur hotbar

[grave iris]

you cna have flame rush first, flame ward, then snap freeze too and you can put RI anywhere in between

[safe grail]

Yeah. The first three before frostclaw just has to be those three

[grave iris]

i like frost claw on my right click for sure

[safe grail]

Same

[grave iris]

anyways yeah detonating arrow look busted, even more dmg than my dive bomb

[tacit hornet]

det arrow is so annoying to play in monos

[safe grail]

P sure det is even more expensive than FC lol

[tacit hornet]

only thing i like about it is the boss killing

[grave iris]

the clear is bad?

[tacit hornet]

not bad, no where near FC

at high corruption u have to use health leech to keep ur health up so u have to throw a lot of traps

[grave iris]

it a marksman right?

[tacit hornet]

yes

also, should i be struggling killing a 1011 orobyss with my gear 😭 https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/BEdn6JwQ

i might try it, i wanna try every class in the game and i already tried falconer and rm

[stiff crown]

🐸

Ex, do I say it

[tacit hornet]

its more the flashbang aspect of the build where i cant see wtf he's doing

so i die to dots

but i need some damn int on my chest

[safe grail]

You have kinda low int for that gear

Also skill issue

Kekl

[grave iris]

you need a lil more int

[tacit hornet]

its the fkn chest

[safe grail]

And julra ring

[tacit hornet]

flashbang issue

[safe grail]

And gloves

[grave iris]

and maybe you need the dot amu and gloves

[tacit hornet]

would u believe me if i said i missed 9 t7 int slams and hit the first t5

[safe grail]

Holy fk thats based levels of unlucky

Gj

Lmao

[tacit hornet]

😭

[safe grail]

But in total that’s like 30 int youre missing

Which is 120% more ward ret

[tacit hornet]

yes i need to update that ring

[safe grail]

And also more dmg on everything

[tacit hornet]

and the chest needs int

and i have 3 3lp ladles in stash which i need to find a slam for

[safe grail]

Also belt could have lightning dammy on it

Mana regen kinda does fk all

[tacit hornet]

lightning damage or cooldown reduction?

[safe grail]

Cause we have no flat regen in the game

Lightning dmg

[tacit hornet]

yes idfk why the original planner has mana regen

[safe grail]

Cdr you get from scaling into, imo a semi-dead stat

[tacit hornet]

ok perf, i need to find t7 int gloves, t7 int slam on chest, t7 lightning dmg on belt

got it

[stiff crown]

Consolidator with Immutable Order 🤔

[tacit hornet]

whole bunch of waffle

[stiff crown]

5/5 Runic Energy when all you need is 3/5 if you're only using CFC

[tacit hornet]

you've confused me ngl

[grave iris]

does runic energizer even work? you only have 1 unique skill

[stiff crown]

Yes, it works

[grave iris]

runic energy give you more stacks

[stiff crown]

Just doesn't go past 20%

[brittle elbow]

How far can I push curroption with a decent spark charge build

[stiff crown]

There's no need for more stacks. You already have 9x3 with the last node

All you need is 10x10%

[grave iris]

but you can have like 47… even more chance to double cast

[stiff crown]

I didn't think you can triple or quad cast

Could be wrong

[grave iris]

hmmm i get what you’re saying tho

thanks for the runic energizer pointer

[stiff crown]

Can you test? I'm not home

[brittle elbow]

I want to do a good runemaster to play with him to decent curroption so I can be free
And play something else till next cycle or something kk

[grave iris]

aidan build is fun, just need a lot of gear lol

[tacit hornet]

which? det?

[grave iris]

no the FC

[brittle elbow]

I already farmed so mouch uniques for the rune master. Prismatic gaze unstable core static shell strand of souls heart of urikos blood of the exile

[grave iris]

then just transition to it

[tacit hornet]

oh yeah for sure, monos are fun and fast

[grave iris]

that literally 99% the build lol

[tacit hornet]

det arrow is just on my mind cuz insta kill bosses

[grave iris]

i like the tank ones of rm lol i don’t want to stack health on rouge no more

[brittle elbow]

I’m so bored of playing my wraithlord kk I’m making the runemaster once I get home

[tacit hornet]

just dropped a 4lp mortality's grasp

useless

0.013 same odds as me getting some

[brittle elbow]

Going to try and blitz through the runemaster leveling

[modern isle]

How expensive is it to start a runemaster? the frost claw and can i use two red rings for it u think?

[tacit hornet]

very expensive

[modern isle]

What we thinking?

[tacit hornet]

no idea, im cof

[grave iris]

apparently the +3 frost claw in MG is expensive af rip

[valid flame]

I would say if you're going the frost claw nova build, it's gonna be very expensive.

I would say 500m minimum

[grave iris]

playing MG seems terrible but i have to try it one day

[valid flame]

Don't fall for it Neo. Lol

[modern isle]

thought 100-150m wouldve been enough hahaha

[valid flame]

If you can hit every slam, it's possible.

But very unlikely.

[grave iris]

😭yeah i am cof but i wish rank 9 cof was some boss drop perks

[crimson raft]

CoF 10 takes foreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeverrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[valid flame]

lp2 chest is already like 50mil. +3 frost claw min is 20mil

[grave iris]

i am only 90% rank 8 rip

[brittle elbow]

I just got to rank 9 cof

[stiff crown]

Cheap to get started if you're not going Frost Claw main skill, but FC main is the best right now

[modern isle]

Ahhh hmmmm damn

[grave iris]

you can try ignite frost claw to start

[modern isle]

And can I utilize the two red rings i got or?

Do i need that other unique ring

[stiff crown]

I'm Mana Strike. Honestly, it doesn't take much gear. Just need Enigma really

[valid flame]

I've seen a build with red rings on it.

But I've mainly seen int stacking exalted rings.

[stiff crown]

Playing COF be like "I spend 70% of my playtime looking at every item drop to extract every single rare affix in case I need it later".

Playing MG be like "70% of my playtime in the bazaar."

[hollow arrow]

MONEY

pretty much mr krabs roleplay

[neon lynx]

Ngl I’ve never done that a single time playing cof

[sick falcon]

i just got a rune of ascendance. Google says use it to get shattered crown. Thoughts?

[stiff crown]

I would do it in case I find a decent piece of gear that I need to chaos away rare affix

Or seal

[neon lynx]

I just set a rule in my filter to high light all t5 or higher class affixes for that class when I make it and shatter them all

Never needed an affix I didn’t have that way lol

[amber canyon]

Hi guys, do you have a runemaster build to recommend?

I'm new to the game, actually level 30 runemaster

[cold sand]

https://i.imgur.com/q52WNlf.png

what a sad day for rain

[fiery scarab]

hey guys! im gonna start play with a friend and try push corruption as far has we can. hes gonna play runemaster , any class can be good with runemaster un corruption? i cant choose wich class play,

[teal oasis]

Atleast with CoF I can play the game

[teal oasis]

I mean, paladin is the healing class so I guess that? Doesn’t really matter though

Forge guard supremacy

[rough python]

Is frost claw spell considered onhit

does it work with shred armor onhit affix

[unborn hamlet]

It works with shred armour, yes, but depending on the build you also want the shred -> frostbite conversion on top of it

[rough python]

Ok cool

thanks brother

[naive halo]

are there some settings can turn off my skill effect spam, i cant see bos attack..... runemaster lightning here...

[glass canopy]

nah, we re in the dark

[crystal hollow]

I'm planning to run that same build. Do you feel like it would work even if I didnt have legendary variants of everything?

[tacit hornet]

very int heavy build, you NEED at least T6 frost claw ranks on your relic to maintain mana (rip if u have to pay 30m per in MG)

[crystal hollow]

kk

[tacit hornet]

you have to start somewhere, focus on the + ranks on the relic, and int

[vernal finch]

Yeah it's crazy t6 relic frost now 20-30m

Early month is still 200-500k

Are there some gold dupe or something every thing expensive

[valid flame]

Was gold dupe a few weeks ago

[leaden harness]

Someone on and available that can help me with lagon ?

[proven kayak]

im starting to believe the lightning meteor build wont be viable lol

im losing faith in it for sure

[wet lintel]

do you still need help

[leaden harness]

Yeah

[wet lintel]

i'll DM you my username

[leaden harness]

Okey

[crystal hollow]

damn time to farm more twisted hearts and relics

[tacit hornet]

yes people buy gold

[earnest sparrow]

Hello, does anyone have a good loot filter for the lightning frostclaw build and would like to share it pls ?

[neon lynx]

stop tellin ppl this

[winter crow]

Its ok, soon a youtuber will showcase my build and ppl will see +fc levels is a bait

So buy your int relics before they get super expensive

[neon lynx]

it better not be matt

[winter crow]

No

[neon lynx]

lol

[trim jasper]

With no fc level, you'd want an omnis right

[neon lynx]

either omni and static, or core and a regular neck

[shell fern]

@woven lark sorry for tagging, you changed your itemization in your frostbite rm build. does the freeze rate per chill affix actually work with the snowdrift? since it only says freeze rate and not freeze rate multi.

or if anyone else knows they can answer too

[neon lynx]

no one knows why maxroll does the things they do

[safe grail]

Oh if youre following maxroll youre trolling yourself hard lmao

[shell fern]

i'm not following maxroll, i'm genuinely curious if that affix works with snowdrift. playing frostbite sorc myself.

but thanks for the valuable input.

[fallen carbon]

need help! i am following Allie's spark on crit runemaster but i cannot seem to do any dmg... fixed the mana problem for now with lots of mana regen and now i can spam frost claw freely but my dmg is terrible, what can i imptrove on my build ? https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/QdzObk3o

Any black hole gamers with a hole in their hearts that have any build ideas that are going to suck me in 😉

[turbid quail]

does the infernal noval 4 sec cooldown still apply when nova is autocasted by another skill?

[shell fern]

wait for buffs, black hole is still very underwhelming

[safe grail]

No.

[turbid quail]

awesome, thank you!

[young thicket]

Haha, the black hole is a semi-functional vacuum atm

Does the physical node apply Ailments in the tree

Black Hole Center Hits
Physical Damage: 35 per point
Black Hole’s center hits enemies, dealing spell physical damage.

[astral zenith]

big struggle guys, lightning damage or cdr on belt lp? running a runemaster spark charge build

[safe grail]

What content are you doing? Also you have no blessings

[fallen carbon]

100 corruption emp monos

and i am farming for the lightning shred now

[safe grail]

Idk then. Maybe you’re not playing the build correctly

You should be tearing it up with that gear at 100c

Your int is a tad low but

Again 100c that should be okay

[fallen carbon]

will that shred be that helpful?

[safe grail]

You should also not be running mana regen at all

And yes

[fallen carbon]

with my current dmg i cannot afford to not have mana to spam

[safe grail]

You’re not supposed to spam lmao

That’s why you go fkn oom

For once in my life I can say this, did you even read the guide? Because i’ll bet like $50,000 USD that it says to not spam claw or you go oom

[tacit hornet]

worked for me

[worldly iris]

I changed my build to this and i have same problem later i saw post that from this build you should transfer to nova variant which should be stronger

[fallen carbon]

the nova variant is indeed stronger but it is mandatory to have + 3/4 to Frost Claw

[safe grail]

Allie’s spark CoC build is a fkn meme anyway

Dragorath’s claw is a dog item for FC

Unless playing mana strike

[worldly iris]

@fallen carbon i played frostbite frostclaw from maxroll doing fine od 300 corruption now i cant kill shait

[stiff crown]

Let them keep the narrative. I want my FC relics to sell for more

[neon lynx]

[quick loom]

Bootynoodles made drag claw work lol

[neon lynx]

Mr streamer man said I can’t play the build without it

[worldly iris]

Not working for me was doing fine with maxroll guide 😆

[shell fern]

ok so it was as i figured for binas build, he went for the freeze per chill because of cc

[fallen carbon]

the other FC builds are always the nova variant which they all say that it is not recommended to play with it from the beginning

[safe grail]

I never said builds were dog. I just said the item is dog lol

[neon lynx]

I started playing with nova at like 70-75 and it was fine

Never dropped it

[fallen carbon]

i know i should not spam it but when i am not spamming it i cannot kill rares and etc...

[safe grail]

It is also v possible to play FC nova w/o +3/+4 but you have to make sacrifices elsewhere

[valid flame]

What's your mana cost for FC?

[fallen carbon]

what uild are u following ? or doing ur own thing ?

[quick loom]

It has base crit, multi, and as long as you spec LB, dmg. And ward gen

[worldly iris]

@fallen carbon yep but if you get -5 mana cost scepter everything works just fine i used the exsanguinos chest to get large amount of ward and i am fine

[neon lynx]

I loosely followed macins planner

Who’s the guy who originally made the spark claw build

[safe grail]

Yeah

Macin is the goat

[fallen carbon]

well i should have noticed that allie build is not that good, that fire FC conversion still bothers me

[safe grail]

Yeah thats another point as to why the build is fkn dog

FC gonna do no dmg when youre focused on lightning lmao

[barren pawn]

Meanwhile my disintegrate build is done

[valid flame]

Whats your mana cost on FC?

[worldly iris]

@fallen carbon the only thing i like on allie build was the boots so you could just facetank bosses overall movement was slow everything else also

[fallen carbon]

rn its 22

[neon lynx]

The only things u really need to get started with nova spark claw is enigma and unstable core with mana eff relics

[fallen carbon]

rn its 22

[neon lynx]

Rest of it just makes the build better

[safe grail]

Isn’t allie a dog content creator for POE too?

Like

Or am i wrong

[worldly iris]

I changed my working build to this dog food

[quick loom]

Not that bad from what I remember. Not top end though

[valid flame]

BootyNoodle makes a low end FC nova build if you wanan check him out

[crystal hollow]

talking about the ignite one?

[subtle cipher]

is frostbite frost claw best version of frost claw

[valid flame]

Yeah.

But he does have other builds as well. That are more min max

[stiff crown]

A lot of people just copy other people's builds, that includes streamers, and don't really understand nor is willing to explore and test things to improve the build. I look at other people's builds to get some ideas and try to theorycraft, but when I look at some popular builds, sometimes they're unoptimized or the speccing doesn't make sense. "Why did this guy spec into Immutable Order while having Rune Powercore and Consolidator?"

I think it's fine to copy other people's stuff, especially if you're just learning, but I wouldn't do it blindly. Eventually, you'll want to put that build under a microscope and see what you can do to improve it because content creators aren't gods.

[valid flame]

And a dragorath build

[stiff crown]

Plus theorycrafting something yourself that is better than the current meta will give you the edge in the market for when it eventually becomes meta

[fallen carbon]

what sacrifices ?

[safe grail]

You basically have to put + skills everywhere else lol

And/or not use 3/3 celestial to get the mana efficiency node

[white turtle]

Does Lightning Blast Convergence node works with Closed Circuit? I'm not sure if I understand it right

[fallen carbon]

hmm... there are few items that i have in mind for that +skills

struggling to find more of a low end macins fc nova planner

Does not

I play FC with 31 mana cost, just have to find mana regen from other sources than the FC itself. You can get started with only +2 fc skill that way.

[fallen carbon]

damn that really plays insane

[neon lynx]

Yea. Functions fine without all the things people claim is required xD

[split forum]

I suppose i should get all res to 75% before going high lvl(80+) mono?
Any ideas how to?
Wear a bunch of rares?

[white turtle]

got it, thanks

[cloud vault]

It definitely helps but you dont need capped res for monos until you really start pushing corruption

[tacit hornet]

is dex needed with frostclaw? it's not right?

[cloud vault]

Even then being slightly under cap wont be much issue

[fallen carbon]

do i need freeze rate multi ?

[tacit hornet]

my planner says to put dex on red ring lol, shouldnt it be int

[neon lynx]

No

[neon lynx]

That ring was a missed int slam

U only need dex if u run mourningfrost

[tacit hornet]

ok perf

cheers

[neon lynx]

None of the gear in that planner is ideal tbh. Like I said I just pulled out random gear from my stash to show how little is required lol

[fallen carbon]

i am slightly following it, just to have a starter

[neon lynx]

Just remember int is your most important stat for spark

It scales like 5 different things

[crimson raft]

Anything that wants to scale spark charge with Enigma wants int up the bleep

[neon lynx]

base skill damage

flat damage for spark

ward retention

crit

cool down

cast speed with ladle

just off the top of my head

[crimson raft]

^All i can think of as well top off my head. It's REALLY good. It's primary stat on anything that can roll int.

[neon lynx]

yerp

u want literally as much int as u can get

[safe grail]

Int this (grabs crotch)

[neon lynx]

buy me dinner first daddy

[stiff crown]

Did you just grab his crotch?

[quick loom]

Nice vid Dep. i agree you dont need bis gear to make it work. Mine is probably worse and still doing early empowered monos fine

@neon lynx you can prolly improve that more cause aegis is bugged

[neon lynx]

i think thats intended

and i didnt care lol

[safe grail]

Lmao

[crimson raft]

I still prefer the direct LB version, no need to aim 😛

[neon lynx]

i literally just logged in after not playing for a week to show that

[safe grail]

Either tooltip is bugged or the effect is bugged

Log this (grabs crotch)

Anyways

[neon lynx]

it mostly for the max mana and + skills

[crimson raft]

Though iguess with nova no need to aim either

[neon lynx]

looks fine. try to get a twisted heart asap

[fallen carbon]

i have it, i do not have the level 😄

[crimson raft]

TH is so much ward gen\survivability when you scale cast speed as well

[neon lynx]

julra rings and strands belt will also substancially increase ur survivability if u find that lacking

[tacit hornet]

finally got a 1lp unstable core and the ele dmg rolled low, thx

[quick loom]

I grinded to 82 before putting on all my 0 lp uniques. It gets better 😎

[fallen carbon]

@neon lynx really appreciate all the help !

[neon lynx]

👍

[tacit hornet]

i have 2 attempts at slamming 24 int on my chest, if i miss i think i will actually cry

[sick falcon]

how do i decide between bazaar and the other option

[quick loom]

Watch a vid about the 2 options then think about it 🤷‍♂️

[tacit hornet]

bazaar has inflated prices because of gold buyers

[sick falcon]

thanks for the valuable response

[latent steeple]

whats the best rune master lvling build to u guys

[tacit hornet]

no worries

[sick falcon]

avalanche or whatever that spell is kinda slaps for a long time with little effort. once you get your runic innvocation i just spammed fireballs, flame rush, and the aergons greater fireball that is cast from runic invocation using 3 fire runes. did that until 35

[sturdy summit]

I decided to write a guide because people keep asking this, but it's not ready yet

[latent steeple]

u want me to test it for u big bro

since im fresh :3

[latent steeple]

ty sir i shall do that

[sturdy summit]

sure, I hope to have it done today. I don't know how long it takes lastepochtools to approve them.

[latent steeple]

cool lmk whenever and ill give ya feed back n stuff

[sturdy summit]

thanks! I definitely will ask

[barren pawn]

hmm

SO since i have this lp 4 peak

[muted kindle]

personally i enjoyed just slapping a build together as i leveled

[barren pawn]

I should slap double t7 on it yeah?

Not waste t6 on it?

[stiff crown]

The consolation prize is that things will also sell for an inflated price

[barren pawn]

opinions?

Im thinking t7 int / spell crit and % hp % armor as the slam

[tough mist]

i have 15 failed twisted heart slams now with t6 and t7s lol

[stiff crown]

Depends on the build. T7 Int, lightning crit mult, armor/reduce crit bonus, and HP% would be good

[barren pawn]

I am disintegrate. I wouldve though people would assume this by my name already

[barren pawn]

there we go

( working on resistances dont @ me lmfao )

[robust whale]

why we dont use elemental nova on slot ?

but we upgrade it

im new to mage

[crimson raft]

How fun is Disintegrate, can you level with it?

[eager wharf]

Is the Never Late passive good maybe? For crit chance which goes to disintergate damage

oh probably doesnt work nvm

[austere gyro]

I am also a disintegrate enjoyer, have you found things that work/don’t work with the maxroll build?

[twilit stag]

Correct

Can you slap dot damage on a helm?

[barren pawn]

I dont use the maxroll build.

[tough jay]

i just used runemaster leveling guide from maxroll

[barren pawn]

I am homebrewed.

the maxroll build is uhh

kinda not good

[tough jay]

wasnt that fast like warlock leveling guide for example but still slapped

but for endgame i definitely dont use maxroll anymore

[twilit stag]

You finally hit rnk 8?

[austere gyro]

I suspected as much

[safe grail]

Cause it’s bad as a slotted skill.

It gets slotted into frostclaw builds that utilize the specific node in the tree that procs nova

[twilit stag]

Because it can get triggered by other abilities

[robust whale]

o okay thx

[barren pawn]

oh yeh

farmin rn give me a while

[quick herald]

Thoughts on using static shell instead of unstable core for spark charge claw RM? I can't get a single unstable core to drop...

[shadow rivet]

Q: Shatter Strike cost 42 Mana, Volka's Razor does not apply to it, no matter what level is Volka's Razor it does not change the damage.
Any one know why?

[barren pawn]

[hollow arrow]

nuts that +4 fc is now 130m+ lmao

[barren pawn]

stop being surprised

[hollow arrow]

no

[half ivy]

hey sorry for pinging u on a msg from a few days ago, was wondering if ur talking about stable ward or ward as ur killing monsters

[safe grail]

Ward as your killing mobs

[barren pawn]

9k stable ward would go crazy as a mage....

sh1t sign me up for that ( no bugs tho )

[twilit stag]

There's a calc for low life stable health on tunklab

It's balances out about 400% of your health with nothing else

[half ivy]

yea i thought so as well, ty just for reference im getting around 5k ward as im killing mobs as a plasma orb solo @ 97, i have ward on kill on gloves hoping to push 500+ corruption

[safe grail]

Plenty of us are able to push that with LB or FC lol

[barren pawn]

lotta peopel saying 500 is the new 1000

[safe grail]

If youre playing the dex variant, you will end up getting dodge and some armor which are great defensively. Best dmg taken is none at all lmao

[half ivy]

u mean the dodge stacker version yea? im playing it i managed to buy + snipe the expensive 2 LP items a week ago when prices werent so crazy and got VERY lucky with slams lol, edit: except for tred rings ofc

[safe grail]

Hell yeah. Whats your dodge at?

[half ivy]

im @ 74% dodge chasnce with 3.2k dodge

[safe grail]

WHEEWWWWWW

dis man not getting hit at all lmao

[barren pawn]

jesus christ

[rough python]

Noob question: does weapon type have to be the same for exalted affix to carry on to the Unique.

[barren pawn]

if i werent already full commited to hp / armor id do this

[barren pawn]

yes

[rough python]

Ie wand Unique can only mix with wand exalted

ok

[half ivy]

lol trouble is now i have to invest in a 2 LP boneclamor to balance my armor a bit, its lagging behind atm

[hollow arrow]

dat dodge tho

[half ivy]

again i just want to remind people i got most of the items before everything got so expensive and i got VERY lucky with my first slams so i didnt have to buy them again

[hollow arrow]

yeah that's good tbh

good on ya for that

[errant plank]

@barren pawnHi, why is foot of the mountain good? -Mana per stack only? Moreover, you have "only" 38% crit avoidance, is it enought or is there anything else?

[half ivy]

its a very fun build tbh just have to get ur rotation right

[barren pawn]

+points to all attributes, good for scaling int up, movespeed, and its unique skill.

SPEAKING OF @safe grail

I have 105 INT

[dusty steppe]

On frost claw rm I see many using that reigns of dragons relic, is it must or good addon?

[hollow arrow]

i need to grab a red ring before they go up even more

lmao

[barren pawn]

theyve been fluctuating

30-60 m

[hollow arrow]

they are 100m now for basics

[safe grail]

Needs more int

[peak axle]

Heya! I'm fairly new to the Mage class still so pardon my newbieness!

using a Frost Claw Runemaster build I saw clear 2k corruption on Youtube, but I have two things I don't understand, mostly because I copied it, and also due to my lack of knowledge about the Mage class itself

1. Why or when is Lightning Blast supposed to be used? Since we use it as one of our skills that we spend points in it's safe to assume we use it, I just want to know when?

2. Why on earth is:"Mad Alchemist's Ladle" used as a weapon? I thought it was used as a meme weapon, but apparently it's supposed to be great for the build, I just don't see where (except for maybe the cast speed)?

[barren pawn]

WDYMMMM

105 BRUH

the only way it gets better is slamming my 4lp peak with t7 int / spell crit and a 4lp foot with t7 int

Neither of these is happening.

[safe grail]

LB is used only in builds that use Dragorath’s claw or by itself in place of FC.

Ladle is used because you can stack cast speed, spell dmg per ailment, and because of -mana cost on spells implicit

[twilit stag]

Dude your crit scales directly with your int, it is an importent piece of your build. Thought 105 is better than the 66 you were at lol

[twilit stag]

It's actually not really move speed due to the chill

[barren pawn]

i havent been at 66 since ageas ago

[hearty cypress]

105 is super easy btw

im at 148

[peak axle]

Ok I understand the Ladle bit now but I'm still kinda scratching my head around LB. I mean if I can use FC, which my build is built around why not use Frost Wall or something instead that I could go through for more ward for example? Sorry if I'm being thickheaded here...

[hearty cypress]

cof

[barren pawn]

dont care. fekk off.

[twilit stag]

That's what ya build planner showed sir

[twilit stag]

Not as easy with focused build like dis

[hearty cypress]

like what?

[twilit stag]

Disintegrate

[safe grail]

Oh youre looking at that version of the build. Gotcha

Idea with that one is that you use LB to grant buffs

[hearty cypress]

i actually think its not that hard

the itemisation isnt that bad

for the stats that matter most u have to make priority

disinteg takes time to ramp up right, so the thing about int is that it helps you survive as well

but again youre playing a skill archetype that literally never ever worked in the history of mage so lol

[barren pawn]

Homie i am literally sitting at near full BiS for disintegrate and have 105 int.

You really dont push it any higher than that with the build.

[hearty cypress]

yea and i dont need to approve that

if u feel like that, its ok

[twilit stag]

No the only stat that matters is crit chance. Don't talk about a build you're guessing on lol

[hearty cypress]

im not guessing onj

[twilit stag]

Not really ramp up time when it's sitting at 1200% more damage

[barren pawn]

this is the guy that gatekeeps his build btw. So take literally anything he says with a grain.

[hearty cypress]

1200% more of what damage to begin wtih but

[twilit stag]

What am I gatekeeping lol? I'm running wild magic

[peak axle]

Oh you mean "Lightning Aegis"? If that's the case then it feels a bit clumsy in my humble opinion. I know it's a heavy learn to play issue on my part though hehe, but in the same breath I have to ask, if there are alternative builds that are focused around Frost Claw that does not use Lightning Blast?

[barren pawn]

Not you. the guy youre talking to

[hearty cypress]

disinteg needs a lot of rework

its probably the worst skill next to blackhole

its just not a good gameplay and gearing sucks

if u tell me that ur bis gear is 104 int thats really funny to me

[safe grail]

FC nova. Ignite FC is another that came out recently. Frostbite FC, crit FC sparkcharge

[signal iron]

everything FC ;_;

[hearty cypress]

like im sorry, but bis is supposed to be the best in slot

not ur version of progression in slot

[hearty cypress]

if u want a different build than fc let me know lol

[safe grail]

LOL

‘It’s my PiS bro”

[hearty cypress]

LOL

[safe grail]

Hah that’s a funny thought

Lmao

[hearty cypress]

HAHA thats funny

[safe grail]

Ok i go back to work now

[barren pawn]

Homie I have a 4lp peak, and have the best possible stats on most of my sh1t. I said " near full bis " which i am.

[peak axle]

Excellent! Thank you for the recommendations and for your patience! I'll take a look at the builds you mentioned 👍

[hearty cypress]

u really think ur the disintegrate guy

[signal iron]

always up for it, been a bit bored

[hearty cypress]

ur not it homie

[hearty cypress]

give me a dm ill show u something

company secrets atm

[signal iron]

sentt

[hollow arrow]

[turbid quail]

I was following the electric frostclaw build then saw that frosclaw relic price is absurd. Can someone suggest something close but doesn't need a t6-7 relic

[safe grail]

Time to not follow the meta and learn the game some more

😄

[twilit stag]

Any you don't understand the build so you don't know what is BIS for it lol. It doesn't scale that well with Int compared to crit

[turbid quail]

I'm tired. I just want to chill. I already made 3 rogues and 1 spellblade to 600c.

[safe grail]

You got a spellblade to 600c?

R u ok?

Blink twice if you need help

[barren pawn]

Are.... you good homie?

Give us a sign if you are being held against your will

[hollow arrow]

dont follow meta, find a build that works, publish it and watch everything about that build go up in price

ez

[barren pawn]

like me, ive been off meta from the jump 😂

[safe grail]

Dont publish it

Simple

[barren pawn]

fekk meta

[safe grail]

Stop tryna be a content creator lmao

[turbid quail]

oh no, jsut the rogues, spellblade is 400 and just dies a lot at that point

[safe grail]

Ah okay

[barren pawn]

i need ta get that mana blessing

so bad

immediately lets me drop these gloves for the new hotness

[rugged slate]

Quick question, i'm following this : https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/plasma-orb-runemaster-guide#gameplay-header how was i am supposed to use 5 skills ? I can't cast Static Orb and lighting in the same time

[safe grail]

1st off: you dont hit them at the same time. You hit them in order.
2nd off: stop using maxroll, goto youtube and watch some videos on Plasma orb

[barren pawn]

^

maxroll is grbage because all they do is sh1t out as many builds as possible to milk the game while its popular.

They dont even bother to properly theorycraft alternatives half the time

[rugged slate]

Yeah i know i need to "combinastion" the spells, but yeah i'll stop using maxroll...

I'm completly lost now

lmao

[safe grail]

The combo for plasma orb is the following:
FLF (fire-lightning-fire)

That allows you to hit runic invo and get a plasma orb

[rugged slate]

Yeah but nothing provides lighting with thoses skill

That's why i'm confused

[safe grail]

Lemme look at this stupid guide

Jesus i hate maxroll

Ah i see. Maxroll does stupid sht as usual. So your combo would be the following:
Static orb - runebolt - static orb (cfc since static orb is converted and runebolt shoots a firebolt)
Runebolt - lightning blast - runebolt to make a plasma orb

Literally the most dumb way to do it naturally lmao

[stiff crown]

More like minroll

[rugged slate]

So i had to put Lightning blast in my bar

i had no idea lol

i was like wtf i have no lighting

[safe grail]

You didnt read the guide well enough or the guide is formatted like sht

Whichever applies here

Lmao

[rugged slate]

Both

[hollow arrow]

it's maxroll soooooo

[safe grail]

Maxroll is fkn dog

I’ll say it to Raxx’s face too
