Just buy gold
havent seen a red ring yet and I am COF
🐸
it's crazy how different cycle mg is from legacy, in legacy stuff barely sells and everything is relatively cheap compared to cycle
thats pretty normal
I say they just delete flame rush
most people dont touch standard
skill is awful and buggy
which is weird, because most ppl dont do arena either
typically league/season/cycle is what has the new content
I only use it to auto-cast Runic. But other than than, I miss teleport
most people just carried that over from other games if i had to guess
like theres 0 reason to go for cycle in last epoch
i say we stop saying " delete x from game !!!!! " and instead start saying " tweak it "
yeah its bad
you can do what I do, use runic inv as teleport
I would be okay with an overhaul to the skill but jesus christ dude its so frustrating to use
I found it pretty fun to use tbh
and that allows you to use frostwall/runebolt for extra 35% dmg
tbh i like legacy more than cycles, just bring cycle mechanics to existing characters and i'm happy.
I need to look at that, I havent the foggiest how that even works @winter crow
most would disagree id say
thats why path and d4 do it the way they do lol
half the fun of these games is building the new character for a lot
which again is weird imo. they just got so used to it in poe etc. imagine in any other type of genre you'd have to start fresh everytime a patch drops.
what een are the cycles mechanics?
factions for this cycle
Basically, frostwall has a node that gives you 14% dmg to chilled enemies and it autocasts runebolt, runebolt gives 21% dmg with nodes
mmos for example take much longer to build and max than an arpg character
the MG and CoF arent just ... in standard?
also gives you frenzy so you dont lose frenzy from flame rush, and PERMA haste
i dunno about that, i've grinded way less in mmos than i ever have in LE
and i got thousands of hours in both wow and gw2 as an example.
I just snagged 71% spell dmg 2lp julra for 55m just posted lol, ty to the one that sold
that thing was worth atleast 100m lol
Thinking to roll Frost claw RM, what are most important items to have?
reminds me of the 4lp peak i got for 10m.
Someone forgot a 0 on it.
Dang, you got 1000s of hours in LE?
thousands of hours running the same echos and not bored out of your mind yet is a crazy concept to me lol
I got my 2LP 66% days ago for like 3m. INFLATION
New to ARPG genre?
usually they have an interesting or engaging end game loop lmao
Like Grim Dawn?
oh nice a 2lp julra ring drop
2lp julra AND got int
@winter crow ya blessed me on this day
run what? you talking about https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/AL0yvK1A ?

wat
1.7k atm but what i meant is that i can grind way longer in le to get to BiS gear compared to my mmo-experiences. atleast i feel like i can grind indefinetely and always find upgrades.
oh nm didn't scroll
Nah, I'm just messing
ive learned over the years that the only thing that fuels these long boring end game grinds for me is pvp
arpgs aint got no pvp so i get bored quick lol
my eyes arent good enough for pvp anymore
idk how you play the build I linked without +rank heart or +2 rank mage relic
pvp for me dep
Go play fighting games
mana isn't possible to sustain with just heart
i have no idea what that build is
gratz
ima try it rn too
t7 int and t6 crit chance slam
on 2lp julra
noice
hope it goes
i just got a 2lp julra now
Dang, I'm 71% to level 101
tempted to slam it lmao
nice
cuz my 1lp has t6 int
ive leveled like 3 times
it only restes the xp
lmao
you get a ton of xp in high corr
ima do int crit and phys res cuz I need that without red ring xd
i meeeeean... 3 runs at 2400 cor wasnt even half a bar
more than that actually
8 runs
rip 80m gold
did you buy the t7 int / cc tho?
yes
and if it was a drop, still counts cuz it couldve been sold
its fine, I can still use my t7 int julra and ocearon, it was just to get a bit more cc
I just need to buy a cracked omnis to make for red ring resistances
welp here we go
even if it's just int i'll take it
cuz it'll be better than the 11 int one i got now
Prayge
i say this cause ex bricked me earlier
nice
lucky b@stard
rip
this one isn't that high at all base rolls
40% spell dmg
but w/e the crit and int helps
still fine tbh
now i just need gloves lol
and possibly redo my skills
looking at your build now pip
any of you weenies wanna let me leech for a bit
"tHeReS nO pOiNt"
lmao
can someone help me understand how all other things being the same, frostclaw + enigma beats fireball +enigma + liath's machinations in single target damage on a boss?
my math must really suck because i think i'm actually hitting way more with fireballs, and liath machinations triples my spark proc chance
Even if it doesnt, fireball ward gen is thrash
Cant tank anything
And it doesnt proc nova
for sure, I'm just trying to figure out this specific scenario
wait, why is fireball ward gen worse than frost claw?
fireball has no area tag so it cannot benefit from the same nodes as FC
it can crit and thats about it
FC also has built in ward generating nodes
oh reowyn's veil right
veil and shiver shell
right right
bruh this dragon just dont wanna drop the heart D:
just loot it 5head
true Idk why I didn't try that lmao
lmao
on bright side I just got max roll all res blessing
I have a +3 fc relic to slam but I have only 1 lp1 and lp2 heart
kinda wanna save the lp2 for a relic with +4fc and int or +3 and int
ayyo @stiff crown, @barren pawn almost died because of me. you know why he almost died right?
👀
What'd you do?
Texting and drving

pretty much
damn 24 weaver boots
those might sell
need deez -grabs crotch-
no i dont need cashews
cash deez
LMFAO NO SHOT
Bruh
nah just kiddin
was gonna say
someone has a pair up for 1.2b
hahahahah
Sell it to some dude for 1.2b, then let him see what he gets, then buy it back for 1.2b since no value was added
lmaooo
might be time to do some weaver gloves
they dropped in price big time, for the 20+ weavers
used to be like 15-25m now they are 2-3m
see if i can get one with int
hi, i got a question regarding "Lightning Blast". the node "Halo Effect" 4/4, which proccs spark nova with 100% chance, doesnt seem to work? when i hit an enemy, the surrounding mobs dont get any damage numbers, it maybe proccs just after 10 hits once? same for champion gate dummys
anyone an idea if this is a bug?
ffs another no lp heart ;/
anyone got a frost bite frost claw build that can perma freeze T4 julra?thanks
The node is bugged
yeah well guessed so, already reported now. thanks for your reply :)
Hey quick question, im an acolyte looking to try something new, its between mage and sent, what fun mage builds are people rocking rn?
How/where can i find /farm Unstable Core body armor ?
ooo thanks!
spam blood frost and death
specifically body armor echos or just any really? Ive spent so long doing them and nada. Im sure thats just how farming in ARPGs work tho lol
RnG applies ":( it sucks
your best shot is gonna be through CoF and spamming that timeline to search for the "Unique body armor" nodes
or you could always blow a few runes of ascension
ooo ok good tip
i usually was lucky enough to never burn more than 4 or 5 looking for an item
is there a specific body armor to use to ascend? or just any
just find it 3 times on the ground
or blue ig
lmao
friggin cores
Def check the CoF, you can find nodes that give you 4 armors for one boss kill or smthn
if youre lucky you find a profecy that awards chest armor that you can do in the right timeline
GL
wooo over 180 attributes now for red ring
are they gunna nerf twisted heart? wards busted rn
so without twisted we'd all get smushed right
so far they only seem to go over actual bugs or things that are too much
No. Just need to learn to not only rely on ward as defensive layer
like the falconer smoke screen infinite buff
There’s mage builds not even focusing ward lmao
You could stack armor+endurance w/ regen and be fine or something to that effect
Ok How I survive T4 julra lmao
i like ward cuz of my slower responses
I have ward. But apparently not enough
eye and ear disabilities suck for games where you gotta be snapshot for some of these boss skills
lmao
i could help ya
I just want my 1/4 at slamming +3fc lmao

the annoying bit is the maze xD
https://imgur.com/a/Etj6CY1 957 Corruption shades. 0:48 was a "I got 25k ward, I should be able to just tank this, right? Right? OH GOD"
does someone wanna help me do arena lvl 2 ;-;
I'm thinking my ward is gen is not enough but what is the best way to increase it?
fair ig lol
not sure what the biggest ward gen is tbh
I have t6 cast speed on enigma and ladle
how does spark charge frost claw compare to frostbite frost claw?
spark charge is omega late game meta
@stiff crown
but i just did some digging in market and to make it truly pop off late game u need 30m gold
for the +3 frost claw
No
ah thought you did
Spark Charge off Mana Strike
Exanguinous unique seems interesting
I'm running it again rq and I'll let you know but prob will need help if you don't mind. I just feel like it's a waste tho tbh cause let's be real. 1/4? lmao aint no way
ye np im bout to fight spirit boss
ned a better roll for armor blessing
Eh i thought the same but i landed my 1/4 chance earlier for my twisted
word? ggz
alr ig here goes something lol
gl
stay away from her after first shift
let her cast the void pool thing, dash out of it and then fight her upclose
watch for laserbeams, usually right above her is safe/next to her
yeah I got rolled D:
Can I even roll the cache if I die tho?
ty ❤️
okie
If anyone have free time, I need help leveling ❤️ im 32 right now
oof off hand catalysts got so friggin expensive
26% cast spd or 56 % crit multi?
enigma didnt get cast and multi
I'm officially in the 1k club. 1014 Corruption.
PogU
nice
If you can cap crit without it
Cast speed is better
If not, use crit
ehhhh not sure what to use lol
the crit multi enigma has better stats overall
will see what i'll do in a bit
got a 1lp boneclamor and trying to hit a t7 int on it. Is it better to try and use a 3 affix item for a higher chance of hitting it?
Slamming requires the exalt to have 4 affixes
use crit mult then
if it has higher int
cheers i'll add an affix to it
lets go! hit it
Prayge
https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/QDxbp0vQ updated with t7 int ocearon instead of red ring, this is better until I get t7 int red ring

also did a few changes to keep resistances capped
dmg is better with this, and survivability is almost the same cuz higher int means higher ward
what build is this
my own build, better than any other fc nova ones
higher dps and more survival
some ppl follow it, so I post updates everytime I make a change
omnis is hard to get
this build is meant for super endgame
any footage?
doesn’t work
try again
that some nice dmg
yeah, more dmg than any other nova build
cuz of int relic instead of fc levels and frostwall/runebolt tech
what runebolt for?
21% dmg boost
multiplicative
on top of the 14% dmg from frostwall
and it autocasts on 0 mana costs when you cast frostwall
also gives you haste and frostwall gives frenzy
any mapping footage?
I dont think I have updated but can record if you want
its similar to normal fc nova
you just put walls for haste and frenzy
what passive give the auto cast rune bolt? interesting tech
mana and rune generator
no you dont get mana this way
you only get the 21% dmg buff and haste
o wait what yall playing? antipode?
runebolt only gives mana on direct casts
wall of glyptic art
ye nvm
what passive for the 21% dmg boost for rune bolt?
bottom ones
what is the best stats for LP's for super fast T4 julra?
disolve and conquer pretty sure
if you want super fast, you need a whole build, not just random lps
yeah that one with 3 points in runeweaver
even tho you don’t directly cast rune bolt, you get the 3 stacks?
ye
yes
look at the vid
perma 3 stacks
very cool build, i am impressed
thats also 120% mana as ward and 12% mana regen from those 3 stacks
so I guess it does give a tiny bit of mana lol
just not the op node
ty, it took weeks of testing to make it
a youtuber asked me to showcase it in a vid
so go buy your t7 int relics if you plan to make it
Hopefully that means frost claw relics can go down too

help
alright lets make another mage for CoF
but cof is for noobs no?
Opinions for HC, SSF Spellblade..
Cold damage or lightning and why? I want to hear your thoughts/experiences
I am still under level 25, so I'm open to any ideas 🙂
I like the idea of big, fast attacks!
can somoene maybe help me out, im playing a wild magic runemaster and have spell cascade in the bottom left of the tree that says when i use runic invocation with 12 rune energy i cast a random equipped spell of "each" of the markings. so to me that reads if i have one of each and i have one of each spell on my bar it should cast all 3. I've been testing it out and sometimes it does 1 sometimes it does 2, but it never does 3.
he does phys/cold damage right?
Any runemasters online?
Lightning Cold iirc
What do you mean? Merchant is for noobs.
But I went merchant........
i just started with runemaster but i feel like i have a pretty good grasp besides things either being misworded or not working as intended
im nearing an end game build, level 53, so it might be too early for that
but the gist is like, im having a slight mana problem as well as my damage against bosses is just BAD
like BAD BAD BAD
Both are perfectly viable and there is no objectively better faction. Personally I go with CoF.
what spells are you running?

no survivability issues
its a build focused around
like i know my gloves neck and belt are bad but it shouldnt be taking over a minute to kill a boss bad haha
omg blessing farming is such a pain lol
so the idea is to primarily cast that one invocation?
yep, its a turret build
it works beautifully against hordes and will only get better, but man
so what I would do
I see a few passives that can increase damage against bosses
- runic invocation, you have 9 points in the bottom left that i think could be removed, for you to gain those stacks right now it looks like youd be waiting 12 seconds to get max stacks which is quite the wait period
Without 12 stacks it double casts it quite often but your right i could get more damage somewhere else, testing is such a pain lol
if i were to make a RM on legacy, would the cycle builds not work correctly?
not sure if there is different things between cycle/legacy
- for your mana issue id run 4 of arcane restoration change your runiebolt to frost and run attuned recovery. id make runebolt your way to get mana back in between combos
are you set on fire?
hey can I get some advice? I am sturggling to push 10k ward on nova claw and run into a bit of mana issues on bosses when claw only cost 18 and my mana is 323. I have 3/3 in gift of winter and 2/5 in spark of celerity
how often are you channeling that though?
whenever i need too, i havent run into scenarios yet where i need mana when its not up
runebolt also isnt even on my bars
yeh but channeling often is going to drainnnnnn your dps
its trying to set up antipode that kinda bottlenecks me
immutable order would be great but it puts it on a 12 second cooldown
because if you are going for runebolt turret id think youd almost want wall of frost from sorcerer and run runebolts out of that
where is the runebolt passing through frost wall passive
ah i found it
how would switching to frost save more mana?
the best option for you to run that build imo would be run wall of fire, glyph of dominion as lightning, and find a frost move you like. use runebolt as frost damage to easily get mana back, and use the other 3 to make your combo for invocation
and if youre set on fire animations you can run amplified cascade and they will look like fire with electricity around it with frost coming off the back
so i would take off fireball then yeah?
ya, cause you would want one of each element to get your combo but glyph may take too long as well...
glyph just happened to work well as a huge defensive boost
wall of fire, flame ward as frost or lightning, and maybe static orb as frost or lightning?
or you could do flame rush too
maybe flame rush, flame ward, and frost wall. make flame rush your traversal, flame ward your defensive, and frost wall can provide flame ward when passing through it as well as generate more rune bolts
hmm okay okay
you could even run inscription of momentum to and try to shoot stuff through your wall
you may be able to keep your runebolt fire so long as you get amplified cascade
okay so if i replace fire ball with frost wall then make frost wall fire
possibly if you just get 4 points into arcane restoration but youd have to play around with that
i could go tri elemental too
if we can get a setup for that
but i kinda assumed that tri elements would dampen damage
well if runebolt is what you are aiming for on everything id try to keep it fire get tri elemental and keep your primary damage fire but all other types are for support
tri elemental will not dampen damage from my understanding, im running a pure try elemental build with just elemental damage increases and it appears to affect everything
you could test that by looking at dps with and without it though, you may not need it if you max out arcane restoration
okay so step one would be to take amplified cascade right?
and to make sure i take off the fire conversion on runebolt
id play around with a few variations of that, i dont know your mana problems for certain, if arcane restoration is enough to sooth your problems just cap that
is there a place to test damage in the game?
i just use the tooltip on the spell
if you hover over th spell on your bar itll give you an estimate dps
There are training dummies next to the arena.
^ and those
Most people do it at the Champion's Gate Arena area where you have sparring targets but they don't have like resistances and what not so you'll do more damage than you would in like a monolith
what happens to runic invocation runes with runebolt
the hardest part about doing this is keeping the rune order
so if i replace fireball with fire wall
what did u say to replace frostwall with?
so runebolt would be your spam between making your combo with the other 3 spells
should I take away traversal then?
i need to remove one of my abilities to get runebolt on
because right now my spam is fireball
if you are wanting to spam that move id run flame rush(frost), volcanic orb(frost), static orb(lightning)
to activate my invocation i need frost, lightning and fire in that order
and your combo would be static orb, volcanic orb, flame rush, runic invocation, spam runebolts for like 1 second to get back to your combo
sorry it would be flame rush, static orb, then volcanic orb
those are 3 things that have similar cooldowns
id take it out just because the cooldown is pretty long
it doesnt have a cooldown
fire wall has a 10 second cooldown when you manually use it
yeh but it keeps the base cooldown of frost wall
uhm weird,
i can cast it back to back as well
ahhhh i see
u have prepared ward dont you
okay okay
so you can take wall ez then
okay so wall would be my third cast
and i just looked at your items....with that insane relic id run glyph lol
i am haha
glyph is only 5 second cooldown anyways
so wall, glyph, and flame rush id say should be your spells
then rune invocation and rune bolt
that pic has my talented spells and my order
what would u have all 5 of my abilities be
if i take flame rush, i'd need to keep frost wall cold
because if I want to use flamerush to cast my invocation, I need to cast flamerush third
which needs to be fire
you can change flame rush to frost
then flame rush is cast first as frost
which would work for the invocation
but then i couldnt really use it for traversal if i need to use it on a timer, or would it not be for traversal
it might be kind of clunky to try and do that
you could always make runic invocation your traversal
i run enigma
and replace fireball with with flamerush, and take flamerush cast invocation
that way q w e will cast it each time
then I can take invocation OFF my bars and put on runebolt
would that work?
you have to have runic invocation on your bar for flame rush to activate it
DANG
if you left it fire it would cut out a button though
i was thinking you just wanted the frost wall to be fire for animation of it being fire elemental
whatever element you make the wall the bolts cast from there will be that type
at this point i want the turret to work
we can stop thinking in terms of only fire since were changing runebolt to tri-element
from what u said i think im hindering myself trying to make runebolt only fire
How can one generate a lot of wars to survive as an ignite spellblade build. My plan for skills is firebrand, flame reave, teleport, fire ward and fireball. Plan is to build a lot of chance to ignite, spread fire, auto fire fireball as part of flame reave for ignite crit damage and more fireball and use teleport to enhance elemental damage so I do a firebrand a bunch for stacks, teleport in, flame reave.
Problem is ward generation. My assumption right now is basically this is mostly going to come from gear does -20% of health per second and then 20% missing health counts as ward and basically live off no health and all ward. Any better ways of survivabulity?
immutable order would be amazing but the cooldown is 12 seconds holy

there we go lol, that's what im running, if you just like the runebolt animation i spam the hell out of that but my invocation is completely random so i get random animations all over my screen, but just sharing to give you ideas for a runebolt themed build
okay, thank you I really appreciate that. If I can ask a question, would the point of switching to runic on the bars be for mana?
runic on the bars?
sorry runebolt*
cuz as u saw right now runebolt isnt directly casted
it was one of the first things you reccomended
what do you mean it isnt directly casted? id use it as your filler between your combo cooldown
thats what fireball is right now
runebolt was being used only on the antipode runic invocation
i did not catch that, i thought you were just trying to overlay as much runebolt as possible 😞 sorry i may have misdirected you
oh noooooooo!
haha
so THATS why i had so many questions
no thats my fault too i should have clarified that im so sorry
i was thinking of runebolts with your runebolts so that your runebolts would do more runebolts
thats why i mentioned the wall, i was thinking from a visual perception
oooohhhhh okay
so my suggestion would be wall as frost/lightning with crystals of protection, and flame rush into the wall to save your mana and have it use runic invocation to save you a button
then you combo would be spell would be 3 spells over and over again and that may alleviate your mana problem, youd have to test it. you may have a hard time with bosses that move a lot is the issue i forsee?
like i think it would shred lagon, but shades would be tough cause you could line up that invocation and he could just move
theres a talent for rune bolt called runic evocation that makes it seek out enemies
ya i tried using it, it only seemed to seek them out in that cone distance though, if they moved out of that like 100 degree angle it seemed to not really care
hm okay
gonna be honest, ive never made a successful build in any game ive played, im so smoothe brained
it wasnt like the thorn totem where it would turn around to find the thing
haha no youre not, most people play arpgs and just copy the meta builds they find online and try to imitate things, trying new builds is the only way to use your brain in these lol
that's litterally the onlything fun bout these games is looking at the things that line up, coming up with an idea, and pushing it how far it can go and changing it when i hit walls....once i hit my final wall i try a new class or build lol
im probably one of the few,if not only, physical spell damage shamans that doesn't rely heavily on totems to push corruption
im sitting at 200 corruption and am taking a break mostly because im getting bored but it was fun thinking of that idea and brainstorming with friends on how to make it better
thats still super impressive
i do have fun doing this, its just never as good as the first build i copy haha
meta is what it is though, people do it because its proven to work. you may get an idea for something someday and it may become meta because you branched off and did your own thing while everyone else imitated. i could change my shaman to a totem summoner and push high content but thats already been proven to work, that's not why i play these games
i gots to go to bed but i hope you keep at trying to make the turret idea work, i didn't get my shaman hammered out till i hit like 92? kept changing talents and abilites out and trying new shit...even tried going frost spriggan at some point...hated it and went back lol
i dont feel like i helped since most of my advice was misunderstanding but it was good chatting with you haha
no but it helped me understand runemaster a lot more though
you helped a lot even if we didnt get a build
glad i could help you get some understanding, im also super jealous of that relic you have lol
it was the third mage relic i had haha, the first two werent that great
im SHOCKED that it got 4 upgrades though
yeh that's huge, and spell crit is nice too
am I extremely unlucky or the game lack good unique/set items for cold damage sorcerer? I'm level 89 and still using a rare wand that I found with 100% cold damage and 60 spell damage. Whenever I drop a unique/set item it's for fire damage or lightning damage mainly.
should I respec altogether to fire or lightning build or quit playing this char 😦
glacier shows 50k dps but i feel like it's not enough because it takes 20 mins to kill a 100 corruption echo boss if he does not kill me first ofc
you should have dropped an exalted by now.
are you crafting ?
if not, this is your problem
I'm crafting but exalted items too, are almost always does not have cold damage etc. rare wand still gives more dps then any exalted
what build do you like playing/
CoF
target farm exalted wands then. You'll get an exalted worth creafting on eventually.
a good filter will also help
I just checked
thanks guys
all elements damage prefixes have the same rarity: rare
elemental itself is common
spell damage is common
and cast speed is common
I’ll be honest idk if this will work into later corruption.
For defensive layers, you can try low-life trinity which is using Exsanguinous, last steps of the living and then an experimental sealed gloves w/ life lost per second that converts missing life to ward
This should give you a fairly nice ward pool to work with
From there, you max your resists and then as spellblade you will want to become crit avoid capped
Final piece is to stack armor. So you can actually get the hybrid armor/crit avoid suffix that will solve SOME problems
It will do fine but cap out earlier because dot builds dont scale super well
So if I wanna target farm stuff 300 corr is a solid point to stop and do so right? Also what is the best way to do this? Just get to the echo that reverts the completed echoes and repeat?
hello goys, wanna play RM with autocasting LB through that dagger - tho dont have it yet so i wanna exp with some other build - will the frost claw autocasting nova will bi fine for start? or will i have mana problems at start and should look for something else? thanks
nova claw is an endgame build and you prob wont be able to have enough mana sustain tbh. I'm not sure your lvl or gear but I swapped around lvl 80 to it and was okish with mana at 23 lvls in frost claw
and can you suggest me some leveling build for RM until i got stiff for FC nova or LB build?
i am 35 lvl with no gear only that droped 🙂
thanks mate, will do
GL
Any idea on why I am struggling to get 10k while bossing with nova claw?
cast speed on ladle and enigma. 23 points in claw
What’s the difference between fire pen and shred ?
Thanks
They are the same
For Runemaster I see people using Snap Freeze but lvling Elemental Nova is that right?
Snap freeze is for runic invocation’s immutable order. And can be used on bosses if you feel like it
Yes you spec into nova if you are proccing it
OOH Claw procs nova
I am not a pro yet. But what is your int?
98
Yes. 😎
I have no int on unstable core yet but a 2lp version of it with an int chest and a spell crit roll I need to slam but cannot kill Julra T4 yet. also missed int on prismatic helm earlier
I wish i could help more. You will have to post your char and hopefully someone better than me can help
anyone playing mage coc meteor ?
also I find it weird on bossing I have a bit of mana issues whilst fc only costs 18 and I have 320 mana
What is your regen?
Maybe ele nova is not at 0 cost?
regen is secondary/tertiary
do you have all of the points you need in spots you need them?
that's first off
12 xD
3/3 gift of winter
spark of celerity?
I mean I only have 2/5 in spark of celerity or whatever its called
I have 21 regen. I am not proccing anything atm though. I can spam all day
But my points are specced into -mana
is it worth dropping a node in conflux so less nova procs for more mana sustain in celerity?
it can be, yes
Check your nova mana cost sir, maybe
2/3 nova is common due to lack of points
^
I need to slam my +3fc relic on my heart but am currently unable to kill T4 Julra
nova mana cost is also significant
Gotta be points missing somewhere
I can't post a screenshot here but could dm you my fc skill tree?
so 1 more point into celerity made it go from 18 to 17 ;/
doesn't really seem worth tbh
Depends on mana regen
My FC is atm 11 cost, mana regen 17, with the +12 mana chance , and I still run out of mana if I spam flame rush for the extra cast speed buff
Need to get my mana up to like +24/s before I get rest of the nodes
Granted I only have T6 reduce
Cos never lucky feelsbadman
wdym? you can literally import your toon
you click import
wait word?
type in your acct name and too nname
yes
open the link
there's a button on the left
that says import.
you are a godsend ❤️
can only be done for Online characters
I wouldnt even be talking to someone who plays offline
😛

Me with 17 failed +1LP julras stardials in my stash
ah
You need it for more mana regain proc
Going mentally insane soonTM
This. @hollow totem every proc of FC has a chance to proc gift of winter
wait fr?
Fr fr
so I drop the 1 point from celerity and put it in the bottom left node to triple cast fc?
Each cast can proc it yes
I knew it could proc off each cast but I didn't know it would make that big a difference
But if you have machine gun cast speed like me, you also needs big mana regen
157% cast speed
Extra? Or total
total?
Decent
I only have T5 rolls 😂
But I'm fine for now
My rings are so ass I need to get t7 freeze rings, as well as belt
But it's hard to replace my belt cos it covers my Phys res and mana regen
wait what node are y'all talking about?
With t7 ele res too
It costs you 4-5 more mana, but it should proc the mana regain 50% more often because you casted in 3 times instead of 2 times per click(or maybe 6 times instead of 4 times if we count the bounce back?), so I think its def worth it
@safe grail Bro gimme an input on this too please
I've been cooking till my food got burnt and I came up with a plan
frozen malice?
A crack in ice
is a 40% mana increase would it not drain mana much faster?
I will sacrifice my amulet slot for Omnis (with 1LP) and get 20% all res blessing, which will cover almost my entire res, (ele res on items + idols to tweak it to cap)
mhm
And that will free up me 2 blessing slots
I think its 40% based on the base mana cost (12)
For leech
So its just an extra 4-5 mana
So I keep being full health for twisted heart
And also get that +1 to claw I'm missing
hmm alright I'll take one from celerity then and go back to 2/5 there cause I'm not really sure where else to pull from
I think that's a good plan in exchange of loosing some freeze rate and armor pen
also Is there a specific reason I can't consistently hit 10k+ward while bossing?
~~granted I can get lucky and slam armor pen on the omnis)
I mean it's not a bad exchange by any means
I think I'm gonna do that
It would help so much not having to find perfect in slot suffixes
The baseline for not OOM with 10-15 mana regen should be at 24 manacost, granted you take all the 3 casts and bounce back nodes
It's way easier getting good t7 ring that way, if I don't care it has like endurance or health at the bottom 😂
Or better yet, I can swap to Julra stardial without a worry of resistance
Yea but I tried just this, have 18 mana regen and -4 in cost
And I run out of mana in 3 seconds
have u tried
I have both FC reduce idols
not running out of mana
Yeah, but your mana regain chance is 12% right
-14%
36% is kinda necessary
Did you take the bottom left nodes for extra casts
I think it's just the issue of my raw cast speed
Pretty sure I have 5-6 casts a second
That's 150 mana down the drain in an instant
Yeah I had them, but constantly went out of mana instantly
whats ur cast speed
Currently I have only double cast
Lemme check, iirc it's 200~ish%
Those extra casts matter because they are free and each of them can refund you the full mana cost
They are not free in the sense they add cost to the cast
I know how it's supposed to work
It's just it's not working for me yet
Well yes but you get refunded at full, including the extra mana cost you spend
lightning blast frostbite?
sry im late
But you get more chance to get the refund because youre casting it multiple times in 1 click

Yes I understand that, but as soon as I cast flame rush to basically double my cast speed
I'm dry instantly
mm
Given I'll probably lose mana regen too if I change into omnis
Slamming 25% mana regen will probably not happen
25% chance to slam*
ty that did wonders for my mana and I think my dps as well
i think its always better to just go with exalted amulet
What other items give mana regen besides rings and belt/amulet
t7 mana regen with like, pen etc
Just trying to figure out why I am getting 1 hit thru 12k ward by dragon D:
Yea I mean that's what I use
Glad it worked Prayge
I should have it no?
Would cover everything I need
what class
And get +1 for fc
what corruption also
nova claw rm
250
cause i was tanking 800 corr dragon
with 9k ward
yea when i say that sorc has better dr than runemage people dont believe me lol
^ need 100% crit reduce
ah
its not just crit reduce
no, actual damage reduction
I can tank him as long as he doesn't crit me without any crit reduce at 600-700 corr
I have 0 crit avoidance lmao
whats ur flameward setup
If he crits me with the circle it's death even with 35k ward
i never have to go away at 950 corr
@hearty cypress
i tank that
I have all the tank stats in flame ward
Anyway, I think I'm gonna go with the omnis strat
It will free up so many slots for me
On the cost of some armor pen/mana regen
plz let me know if there is anything I can do better here or improve.
tbh the only build that i can think of that actualy pays off wtih all these hassle
is prob pip's
for runemaster
but i really hope ur frostbite build works out
im not saying its not
cna u afford to lose one spell or not @hollow totem
cuz u can spec into focus and get all of the armor/dr stuff
am running nova claw so prob not
yea ok
claw invo flame rush/ward and snap freeze
yeah no clue what that means xd
ice block if you're a wow player
ah
u can do that for the blast
ice block is a card from hearthstone I know that lol
ever figure out a build ex?
guys any wrongwarp builds going on? is it a bad item i cant find anything

i theorycrafted one myself for acolyte but idk if it would be fitting for mage
i might just write a guide for this build
idk
maybe not a guide, but people gonna ask for a guide
i just want to do a video
I have thoughts to do a chain lightning w/ spark nova type of build
something along those lines to start
i think the runemaster version of it is really good
since it's gonna be for cof only
i dont think nova is good if youre doing lb
no no the sorc passive
distant spark
how
spark nova is 4 mana
i mean im not 0 mana completely
but u know what i mean
LB has the chain lightning node
yeah
i want to try to see if it's possible to do a crit Chain LB build
using distant spark for the AOE
first of all
u already have crit to max if u actually chain to urself
or u chain tos omething
which u always do
so without it, its already the case
if in range, ya
but ud want to anyway
m,ost of the time im actually melee range
which is where im most strong
bc when u think about it
if u make fire aura lightning, itll cast spark charge
and if u teleport near target, it cast spark charge
and spark nova
so really like
Any tips for efficiently farming +3 4 frostclaw
id say just farm sanctum a lot
sanctum has the highest chance for u to drop that simply becasue it gives u the most unique mobs
just full clear both floors and timelines
So I figured out why I wasn't tanking the dragon lol
I wasn't using my flame ward at the appropriate time
Oh ok thanks @hearty cypress
with this knowledge lmao now I actualy might be able to kill t4 Julra
also nother 0lp heart D:
Also does higher corruption affect drops outside of monoliths or only in monoliths.
no
also
i switched out my flame ward completely now to freeze
i hate to say it, but i have to say it might actually be better than flame ward altogether
Oh ok
wihtout nova or anything like that, just straigth up lightning blast
485% cast speed
Hello, i never played Runemaster and the only build i see is always frostclaw with elemental nova
There is no other build who can push on corrupt with this class?
With all the potential various spells he can have ?
i think there are variance of it
and variance that in my opinion pay off better than whats usually done
Plasma Orb, LB, Frost Claw Variants outside nova, Mana Strike Spark Charge
Lightning Web is still out and about somewhere
mana strike spakr charge was a sorc build
Runic Gale can push
it's done on SB too lmao
yea
it's done on all 3
Theses builds are on lastepochtools? i should open my eyes omg
im still on the mindset that ur spells shouldnt cost u 30% of ur mana per cast
or however muh
much*
that u should never have downtime in damage
is it best to just try and avoid julras attacks altogether instead of trying to face tank?
how much ward roughly do I need to be able to do this
the void puddle doesnt exist if u switch right
this was my next point
the void puddle never exist in my world
maybe the beam is what killed me prior I always avoided the puddle
it depends on your DR
I seem to get it a good bit but it doesn't seem to be a prob
oh lol
im running 84% cdr and i dodge everything she does
dmg reflected?
damage reduction
yeah you wont. it's a combination of armor (which will provide DR), resistances and block
and i guess dodge too
if you take no damage it's technically reduction
Im CoF and i need a gambler fallacy desesperatly. I think about switching to MG just to buy one and then use it to farm soufirebastion keyz, If im MG at the gambler and if it drops Gambler Fallacy, will it tagged as MG or not or a %?
ok well I have capped void res 1176/26% armor which I need to farm for armor blessing and 0 block chance with 36/1% dodge lol
I think if you drop Gambler by being on MG, the Gambler is safe of everything
it will not be tagged MG no.
now to pick mastery
you wouldn't get block anyway i was just explaining it.
what ward on avg do you usually maintain?
in monos like ~8k
I'm not too sure

imma need u to engage brain just a tad
lol I low key prob need sleep lol
I think like prob 12-15k for bosses roughly iirc maybe?
you have 17k Effective HP between your resists and armor w/ 12k ward
ok
so
just for the example
if you had say
40k ward bossing (which is possible as FC Nova)
w/ that armor
you'd have 26% DR w/ 55k EHP
that seems decent ish?
so you can take the hit most likely w/ 40k ward
that's before lightning aegis, flame ward, all that crap
just using armor
ok that makes sense
