#

I mean, t7 int red ring is better by a bit

#

but risking 300m+ on a slam

#

is too much

stiff crown
#

Just buy gold

still stump
#

havent seen a red ring yet and I am COF

stiff crown
#

🐸

winter crow
#

lol

#

I got a drop some hours ago, waiting for it to sell

shell fern
#

it's crazy how different cycle mg is from legacy, in legacy stuff barely sells and everything is relatively cheap compared to cycle

neon lynx
#

thats pretty normal

still stump
#

I say they just delete flame rush

neon lynx
#

most people dont touch standard

still stump
#

skill is awful and buggy

hearty cypress
#

garbage skill

shell fern
neon lynx
#

typically league/season/cycle is what has the new content

stiff crown
neon lynx
#

most people just carried that over from other games if i had to guess

shell fern
#

like theres 0 reason to go for cycle in last epoch

barren pawn
neon lynx
#

yeah hopefully that changes

#

or theres no reason for people to come back

winter crow
#

you can do what I do, use runic inv as teleport

still stump
#

I would be okay with an overhaul to the skill but jesus christ dude its so frustrating to use

barren pawn
#

I found it pretty fun to use tbh

safe grail
#

ya everyone got fkd by D4

#

and POE

#

lmfao

winter crow
shell fern
still stump
#

I need to look at that, I havent the foggiest how that even works @winter crow

neon lynx
#

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

#

and i got thousands of hours in both wow and gw2 as an example.

winter crow
#

I just snagged 71% spell dmg 2lp julra for 55m just posted lol, ty to the one that sold

#

Thinking to roll Frost claw RM, what are most important items to have?

barren pawn
#

Someone forgot a 0 on it.

stiff crown
neon lynx
#

thousands of hours running the same echos and not bored out of your mind yet is a crazy concept to me lol

oh nm didn't scroll

stiff crown
#

Nah, I'm just messing

neon lynx
#

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

hollow arrow
#

my eyes arent good enough for pvp anymore

plush briar
#

idk how you play the build I linked without +rank heart or +2 rank mage relic

hollow arrow
#

stiff crown
#

Just wait until it resets you to level 1

#

Int, crit, health

hollow arrow
#

#

but 15 int, not max roll

winter crow
#

ima do int crit and phys res cuz I need that without red ring xd

hollow arrow
#

well the one i got is int, crit, health, phys res

#

lets give it a shot

barren pawn
#

more than that actually

#

8 runs

safe grail
#

@winter crow that slam was a wiff

#

F

#

RIP t7 int + t7 crit

winter crow
#

rip 80m gold

barren pawn
#

ymean 40?

#

2lps are 40

winter crow
#

but it was t7 int and crit chance

#

and it was max roll 2lp

barren pawn
#

did you buy the t7 int / cc tho?

winter crow
#

yes

barren pawn
#

if it was a drop, dont count it

#

ah

winter crow
#

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

hollow arrow
#

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

#

i say this cause ex bricked me earlier

#

it's got lower base rolls

#

but still

winter crow
#

nice

barren pawn
#

lucky b@stard

winter crow
#

I lost t7 int and t7 crit max rolls 😦

#

that julra ring was going to be insane

hollow arrow
#

rip

#

this one isn't that high at all base rolls

#

40% spell dmg

#

but w/e the crit and int helps

winter crow
#

still fine tbh

hollow arrow
#

now i just need gloves lol

#

and possibly redo my skills

#

looking at your build now pip

as a sidenote, idfk how speed runners stay engaged man

#

whew.

neon lynx
#

the art of perfection

#

probably

hollow arrow
#

next step is enigma with cast & crit

#

since mine is cast/poison

#

and a 3lp ladle

ocean mauve
#

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

winter crow
#

Even if it doesnt, fireball ward gen is thrash

#

Cant tank anything

#

And it doesnt proc nova

ocean mauve
#

for sure, I'm just trying to figure out this specific scenario

ocean mauve
safe grail
#

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

ocean mauve
#

oh reowyn's veil right

safe grail

veil and shiver shell

stiff crown

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

hollow arrow
#

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

subtle lintel
#

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?

hollow totem
#

ffs another no lp heart ;/

buoyant shuttle
#

anyone got a frost bite frost claw build that can perma freeze T4 julra?thanks

subtle lintel

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?

zenith vessel
#

How/where can i find /farm Unstable Core body armor ?

fleet venture
zenith vessel
#

ooo thanks!

buoyant shuttle
zenith vessel
ember dome
#

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

zenith vessel
#

ooo ok good tip

ember dome
#

i usually was lucky enough to never burn more than 4 or 5 looking for an item

zenith vessel
#

is there a specific body armor to use to ascend? or just any

ember dome
#

just any

#

could be gray or yellow

hollow arrow
#

just find it 3 times on the ground

ember dome
#

or blue ig

hollow arrow
#

with no lp like i did

#

lmao

ember dome
#

lmao

hollow arrow
#

friggin cores

ember dome
#

Def check the CoF, you can find nodes that give you 4 armors for one boss kill or smthn

zenith vessel
#

ok bet ill do that and ascend

#

thanks yall

ember dome
#

if youre lucky you find a profecy that awards chest armor that you can do in the right timeline

#

GL

hollow arrow
#

wooo over 180 attributes now for red ring

sage creek
#

are they gunna nerf twisted heart? wards busted rn

safe grail
#

No one knows

#

Like we arent devs lmao

sage creek
#

if they nerf twisted wont u all be screwed

#

we'll fall over

hollow arrow
#

i dont think they'll do a ward nerf for this cycle

#

maybe the next they'll tweak it

sage creek
#

so without twisted we'd all get smushed right

hollow arrow
#

so far they only seem to go over actual bugs or things that are too much

safe grail
#

No. Just need to learn to not only rely on ward as defensive layer

hollow arrow
#

like the falconer smoke screen infinite buff

safe grail
#

There’s mage builds not even focusing ward lmao

#

You could stack armor+endurance w/ regen and be fine or something to that effect

hollow totem
#

Ok How I survive T4 julra lmao

hollow arrow
#

i like ward cuz of my slower responses

hollow totem
#

I have ward. But apparently not enough

hollow arrow
#

#

Cast speed is better

#

If not, use crit

winter crow
#

cap crit multi?

#

huh

hollow arrow
#

ehhhh not sure what to use lol

#

the crit multi enigma has better stats overall

#

will see what i'll do in a bit

onyx glen
#

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?

trim jasper

Slamming requires the exalt to have 4 affixes

winter crow

if it has higher int

lets go! hit it

winter crow
#

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

grave iris
#

what build is this

winter crow
#

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

buoyant shuttle
#

omnis is hard to get

winter crow
#

this build is meant for super endgame

grave iris
#

any footage?

winter crow
#

um sure one sec

#

10 sec t4 julra

grave iris
#

doesn’t work

winter crow
#

try again

grave iris
#

that some nice dmg

winter crow
#

yeah, more dmg than any other nova build

#

cuz of int relic instead of fc levels and frostwall/runebolt tech

grave iris
#

what runebolt for?

winter crow
#

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

grave iris
#

any mapping footage?

winter crow
#

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

grave iris
#

what passive give the auto cast rune bolt? interesting tech

warped crow
winter crow
#

you only get the 21% dmg buff and haste

warped crow
#

o wait what yall playing? antipode?

winter crow
#

runebolt only gives mana on direct casts

winter crow
warped crow
#

ye nvm

winter crow
#

if it gave mana, it would be broken

#

cuz wouldn't need fc mana spec

grave iris
#

what passive for the 21% dmg boost for rune bolt?

winter crow
#

bottom ones

buoyant shuttle
#

what is the best stats for LP's for super fast T4 julra?

warped crow
#

disolve and conquer pretty sure

winter crow
winter crow
grave iris
#

even tho you don’t directly cast rune bolt, you get the 3 stacks?

warped crow
#

ye

winter crow
#

look at the vid

#

perma 3 stacks

grave iris
#

very cool build, i am impressed

winter crow
#

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

winter crow
#

a youtuber asked me to showcase it in a vid

#

so go buy your t7 int relics if you plan to make it

Good luck fighting Lagon, is all I can say for HC

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.

#

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

fallow zealot
#

omg blessing farming is such a pain lol

floral delta
#

so the idea is to primarily cast that one invocation?

faint knoll
#

yep, its a turret build

#

it works beautifully against hordes and will only get better, but man

floral delta
#

so what I would do

faint knoll
#

I see a few passives that can increase damage against bosses

floral delta
#
  1. 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
faint knoll
#

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

hollow arrow
#

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

floral delta
#
  1. 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?

hollow totem
#

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

faint knoll
#

i really like fire haha, yeah

#

the mana issues arent that big anymore with focus

floral delta
#

how often are you channeling that though?

faint knoll
#

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

floral delta
#

yeh but channeling often is going to drainnnnnn your dps

faint knoll
#

its trying to set up antipode that kinda bottlenecks me

#

immutable order would be great but it puts it on a 12 second cooldown

floral delta
#

because if you are going for runebolt turret id think youd almost want wall of frost from sorcerer and run runebolts out of that

faint knoll
#

ah i found it

#

how would switching to frost save more mana?

floral delta
#

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

faint knoll
floral delta
#

ya, cause you would want one of each element to get your combo but glyph may take too long as well...

faint knoll
#

glyph just happened to work well as a huge defensive boost

floral delta
#

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

faint knoll
#

hmm okay okay

floral delta
#

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

faint knoll
floral delta
#

possibly if you just get 4 points into arcane restoration but youd have to play around with that

faint knoll
#

i could go tri elemental too

#

if we can get a setup for that

#

but i kinda assumed that tri elements would dampen damage

floral delta
#

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

faint knoll
#

okay so step one would be to take amplified cascade right?

#

and to make sure i take off the fire conversion on runebolt

floral delta
#

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

faint knoll
#

is there a place to test damage in the game?

floral delta
#

i just use the tooltip on the spell

#

if you hover over th spell on your bar itll give you an estimate dps

wild mural
floral delta
#

^ and those

viral pagoda
faint knoll
#

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?

floral delta
#

so runebolt would be your spam between making your combo with the other 3 spells

faint knoll
#

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

floral delta
#

if you are wanting to spam that move id run flame rush(frost), volcanic orb(frost), static orb(lightning)

faint knoll
#

to activate my invocation i need frost, lightning and fire in that order

floral delta
#

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

faint knoll
#

omfg my orb doesnt target dummies lol

#

so where does the fire wall come in?

floral delta
#

those are 3 things that have similar cooldowns

#

id take it out just because the cooldown is pretty long

faint knoll
#

it doesnt have a cooldown

floral delta
#

fire wall has a 10 second cooldown when you manually use it

faint knoll
#

really? where is that

#

is firewall not taking the pyroglass talent?

floral delta
#

yeh but it keeps the base cooldown of frost wall

faint knoll
#

im so confused, i just dont see a cooldown on frostwall

floral delta
#

uhm weird,

faint knoll
#

i can cast it back to back as well

floral delta
#

ahhhh i see

faint knoll
#

u have prepared ward dont you

floral delta
#

i take prepared wards which adds cooldown

#

yup

faint knoll
#

okay okay

floral delta
#

so you can take wall ez then

faint knoll
#

okay so wall would be my third cast

floral delta
#

and i just looked at your items....with that insane relic id run glyph lol

faint knoll
#

i am haha

floral delta
#

glyph is only 5 second cooldown anyways

faint knoll
#

here

floral delta
#

so wall, glyph, and flame rush id say should be your spells

#

then rune invocation and rune bolt

faint knoll
#

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

floral delta
#

you can change flame rush to frost

faint knoll
#

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

floral delta
#

it might be kind of clunky to try and do that

#

you could always make runic invocation your traversal

faint knoll
#

but

#

what if I keep frost wall frost

floral delta
#

i run enigma

faint knoll
#

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?

floral delta
#

you have to have runic invocation on your bar for flame rush to activate it

faint knoll
#

DANG

floral delta
#

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

faint knoll
#

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

versed forum
#

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?

faint knoll
#

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

faint knoll
#

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?

floral delta
#

runic on the bars?

faint knoll
#

sorry runebolt*

#

cuz as u saw right now runebolt isnt directly casted

#

it was one of the first things you reccomended

floral delta
#

what do you mean it isnt directly casted? id use it as your filler between your combo cooldown

faint knoll
#

thats what fireball is right now

#

runebolt was being used only on the antipode runic invocation

floral delta
#

i did not catch that, i thought you were just trying to overlay as much runebolt as possible 😞 sorry i may have misdirected you

faint knoll
#

oh noooooooo!

#

haha

#

so THATS why i had so many questions

#

no thats my fault too i should have clarified that im so sorry

floral delta
#

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

faint knoll
#

oooohhhhh okay

floral delta
#

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

faint knoll
floral delta
#

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

faint knoll
#

hm okay

#

gonna be honest, ive never made a successful build in any game ive played, im so smoothe brained

floral delta
#

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

faint knoll
#

thats still super impressive

#

i do have fun doing this, its just never as good as the first build i copy haha

floral delta
#

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

faint knoll
#

have a good night, thank you for all your help!

#

I really, really appreciate it

floral delta
#

i dont feel like i helped since most of my advice was misunderstanding but it was good chatting with you haha

faint knoll
#

no but it helped me understand runemaster a lot more though

#

you helped a lot even if we didnt get a build

floral delta
#

glad i could help you get some understanding, im also super jealous of that relic you have lol

faint knoll
#

it was the third mage relic i had haha, the first two werent that great

#

im SHOCKED that it got 4 upgrades though

floral delta
#

yeh that's huge, and spell crit is nice too

old sable
#

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

wheat raft
#

are you crafting ?

#

if not, this is your problem

old sable

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

are you playing CoF ?

#

or MG

target farm exalted wands then. You'll get an exalted worth creafting on eventually.

a good filter will also help

hearty cypress

t7 cast speed took me awhile to get but it wasnt that long

#

you'll get there

wheat raft
#

I just checked

old sable
#

thanks guys

wheat raft
#

all elements damage prefixes have the same rarity: rare

#

elemental itself is common

#

spell damage is common

#

and cast speed is common

safe grail
#

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

hollow totem
#

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?

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

What is your regen?

I have 21 regen. I am not proccing anything atm though. I can spam all day

#

But my points are specced into -mana

hollow totem
#

is it worth dropping a node in conflux so less nova procs for more mana sustain in celerity?

safe grail
#

it can be, yes

trim jasper
#

Check your nova mana cost sir, maybe

#

2/3 nova is common due to lack of points

hollow totem

I need to slam my +3fc relic on my heart but am currently unable to kill T4 Julra

nova mana cost is also significant

my nova cost is 0 atm'

I see, thats weird

Im at 23 FC manacost and doing fine

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 ;/

Going mentally insane soonTM

hollow totem
trim jasper
#

Fr fr

hollow totem
#

so I drop the 1 point from celerity and put it in the bottom left node to triple cast fc?

unborn hamlet
#

Each cast can proc it yes

hollow totem
#

I knew it could proc off each cast but I didn't know it would make that big a difference

unborn hamlet
#

But if you have machine gun cast speed like me, you also needs big mana regen

unborn hamlet
#

Extra? Or total

hollow totem
#

total?

unborn hamlet
#

Decent

hollow totem
#

says increased cast speed

#

only t6 rolls on ladle and enigma sadly

unborn hamlet
#

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

hollow totem
#

wait what node are y'all talking about?

unborn hamlet
#

With t7 ele res too

trim jasper
#

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

unborn hamlet
#

@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

trim jasper
hollow totem
unborn hamlet
#

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)

safe grail
#

mhm

unborn hamlet
#

And that will free up me 2 blessing slots

trim jasper
unborn hamlet
#

For leech

trim jasper
#

So its just an extra 4-5 mana

unborn hamlet
#

So I keep being full health for twisted heart

#

And also get that +1 to claw I'm missing

hollow totem
unborn hamlet
#

I think that's a good plan in exchange of loosing some freeze rate and armor pen

hollow totem
#

also Is there a specific reason I can't consistently hit 10k+ward while bossing?

unborn hamlet
#

~~granted I can get lucky and slam armor pen on the omnis)

safe grail
#

I mean it's not a bad exchange by any means

unborn hamlet
#

I think I'm gonna do that

#

It would help so much not having to find perfect in slot suffixes

trim jasper
#

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

unborn hamlet
#

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

unborn hamlet
#

And I run out of mana in 3 seconds

safe grail
#

have u tried

unborn hamlet
#

I have both FC reduce idols

safe grail
#

not running out of mana

trim jasper
unborn hamlet
#

-14%

trim jasper
#

36% is kinda necessary

unborn hamlet
#

No

#

I have it max

#

36% chance to gain +12

trim jasper
#

Did you take the bottom left nodes for extra casts

unborn hamlet
#

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

hearty cypress
#

whats ur cast speed

unborn hamlet
#

Currently I have only double cast

hearty cypress
#

is that lightnign blast

#

ok

unborn hamlet
#

Lemme check, iirc it's 200~ish%

trim jasper
#

Those extra casts matter because they are free and each of them can refund you the full mana cost

unborn hamlet
#

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

trim jasper
#

Well yes but you get refunded at full, including the extra mana cost you spend

hearty cypress
#

spark charg ealso cost mana btw

#

4mana

unborn hamlet
#

No spark chatge

#

I'm Frostbite

hearty cypress
#

lightning blast frostbite?
sry im late

If he crits me with the circle it's death even with 35k ward

hearty cypress
#

i never have to go away at 950 corr

hollow totem
hearty cypress
#

i tank that

unborn hamlet
#

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

hollow totem
hearty cypress
#

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

hollow totem
hearty cypress
#

yea ok

hollow totem
#

claw invo flame rush/ward and snap freeze

hearty cypress
#

idk if u play league

#

but u can zhonya in this game

#

with snap freeze

hollow totem
#

yeah no clue what that means xd

safe grail
#

ice block if you're a wow player

hearty cypress
#

the thing that allows u to freeze urself

#

and become invuil

hollow totem
#

ah

hearty cypress
#

u can do that for the blast

hollow totem
hollow arrow
#

ever figure out a build ex?

nova girder
#

guys any wrongwarp builds going on? is it a bad item i cant find anything

safe grail
#

nah fam i went to bed

#

lmfao

#

doing some passives/idols rn

hollow arrow
nova girder
#

i theorycrafted one myself for acolyte but idk if it would be fitting for mage

hearty cypress
#

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

safe grail
#

I have thoughts to do a chain lightning w/ spark nova type of build

#

something along those lines to start

hollow arrow
#

ye

#

i was thinking of doing another rm with lb & nova setup

hearty cypress
#

i think the runemaster version of it is really good

hollow arrow
#

since it's gonna be for cof only

hearty cypress
#

i dont think nova is good if youre doing lb

safe grail
#

no no the sorc passive

hearty cypress
#

the build that im doing at least, cost 0 mana

#

lost knowlege?

safe grail
#

distant spark

hearty cypress
#

ok

#

thats what im already doing

#

its why i can do burst damage now

safe grail
#

im talking doing the mana spender version of it

#

not the 0 mana version

hearty cypress
#

how

#

spark nova is 4 mana

#

i mean im not 0 mana completely

#

but u know what i mean

safe grail
#

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

hearty cypress
#

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

safe grail
#

if in range, ya

hearty cypress
#

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

rough python
#

Any tips for efficiently farming +3 4 frostclaw

hearty cypress
#

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

hollow totem
#

So I figured out why I wasn't tanking the dragon lol

#

I wasn't using my flame ward at the appropriate time

rough python
#

Oh ok thanks @hearty cypress

hollow totem
#

with this knowledge lmao now I actualy might be able to kill t4 Julra

#

also nother 0lp heart D:

rough python
#

Also does higher corruption affect drops outside of monoliths or only in monoliths.

safe grail
#

no

hearty cypress
#

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

rough python
#

Im using flame dash flame ward and freeze

#

What are you using

hearty cypress
#

no but we're doing a different build

#

im a sorc, lightning blast spark charge

rough python
#

Oh ok

hearty cypress
#

wihtout nova or anything like that, just straigth up lightning blast

#

485% cast speed

rough python
#

I see

#

Cool

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 ?

hearty cypress
#

i think there are variance of it

#

and variance that in my opinion pay off better than whats usually done

safe grail
#

Plasma Orb, LB, Frost Claw Variants outside nova, Mana Strike Spark Charge

#

Lightning Web is still out and about somewhere

hearty cypress
#

mana strike spakr charge was a sorc build

safe grail
#

Runic Gale can push

hearty cypress
#

thats done on runemaster

#

its just different breed

safe grail
#

it's done on SB too lmao

hearty cypress
#

yea

safe grail
#

it's done on all 3

hearty cypress
#

tbh

#

its not bad, but the fact that u use that much mana just defeats the purpose

molten stag
#

Theses builds are on lastepochtools? i should open my eyes omg

hearty cypress
#

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

hollow totem
#

is it best to just try and avoid julras attacks altogether instead of trying to face tank?

safe grail
#

you can face tank most of her attacks

#

the void beam and void puddle you have to move

hollow totem
hearty cypress
#

the void puddle doesnt exist if u switch right

safe grail
hearty cypress
#

the void puddle never exist in my world

hollow totem
#

maybe the beam is what killed me prior I always avoided the puddle

safe grail
#

same

#

i never get puddle

#

lol

safe grail
hollow totem
#

I seem to get it a good bit but it doesn't seem to be a prob

hollow totem
safe grail
#

ward is directly affected by DR

#

that's what a lot of folks fail to understand

hearty cypress
#

im running 84% cdr and i dodge everything she does

hollow totem
safe grail
#

damage reduction

hollow totem
#

I don't see that on my stat page

#

is there a way to tell that or no?

safe grail
#

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

errant plank
#

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 %?

hollow totem
molten stag
#

I think if you drop Gambler by being on MG, the Gambler is safe of everything

hollow arrow
#

now to pick mastery

safe grail
#

what ward on avg do you usually maintain?

hollow totem
safe grail
#

we're talking about a boss

#

i havent had coffee yet

hollow totem
#

I'm not too sure

hollow arrow
safe grail
#

imma need u to engage brain just a tad

hollow arrow
#

i got an energy drink now ex

#

just to wake me up so i can lvl this char

hollow totem
#

lol I low key prob need sleep lol

safe grail
#

lmao

#

ill use the 8k for the example

#

so

hollow totem
#

I think like prob 12-15k for bosses roughly iirc maybe?

safe grail
#

you have 17k Effective HP between your resists and armor w/ 12k ward

hollow totem
#

ok

safe grail
#

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

hollow totem
#

that seems decent ish?

safe grail
#

so you can take the hit most likely w/ 40k ward

#

that's before lightning aegis, flame ward, all that crap

#

just using armor

hollow totem
#

ok that makes sense

hearty cypress
#

i have 9k ward most of the time

#

12k if im diligent

#

and i tank 800 corr corpse btw

safe grail
#

yeah

#

i usually sit around 7-8k

#

but i have like

#

fkn 70% DR from armor

#

that's the point im trying to make here
