Step 3. ????

Step 4. Get banned from LE server.

[neon lynx]

Drive a honda

[safe grail]

TRUE

[livid dirge]

Lol

[short forge]

gotcha 😂😂😂

[livid dirge]

You guys play on sc?

[neon lynx]

Ya

Hc dumb

[barren pawn]

Be an all important aussie responsible for every build since .00000001

[hardy loom]

No way I'm playing hc when I can get stuck from using a traversal skill

[livid dirge]

Hc is good lol

[neon lynx]

Arpgs are my brain off blast games

[barren pawn]

HC in a game where we dotn have death prevention / protection mechanics?

[livid dirge]

I do I never die with my traversal skills lol

[barren pawn]

no thank you.

[neon lynx]

If I wanna sit there and focus every time I log in I go play diff genre

lol

[hardy loom]

I have some deaths at 500corruptipn due to that

[barren pawn]

Diablo does that right. Gives you 1 free death via an ability

[hardy loom]

But that's cuz squishy rogue char

[safe grail]

wrong

d4 changing that

[barren pawn]

in this, if you get hit hard enough to die, you just die

[safe grail]

D4 getting rid of cheat deaths in S4

🙂

[livid dirge]

Lol

[barren pawn]

they are removing a ltieral fekkinstaple of the ip?

[hardy loom]

I got stuck once so badly I had to swap to teleport skill to get out

[hollow arrow]

kek of course they would

[barren pawn]

so dumb.

so very very dumb

[neon lynx]

Cheat death stupid anyways

[safe grail]

Yep. so like flame shield for instance, won't proc a cheat death anymore

[neon lynx]

It’s just soft core with an extra step

[safe grail]

it just heals you or some ish

[safe grail]

Inclined to agree.

[barren pawn]

its not, because it happens once, and then youre fekked

[neon lynx]

Then u leave until it’s up again

[barren pawn]

i men sure, if you want to you can abuse it by just waiting out the timer

but literally no one does that except like... 2 people

[neon lynx]

Every single person I’ve seen play hc does that with the potions

[barren pawn]

🤷 never saw it abused in d3/4

[safe grail]

For once i am going to BIG self insult (thanks @stiff crown)

I don't play HC cause skill issues. I don't enjoy having a death be the end of a toon. It's not meaningful progression to me that lag/server issues/things out of my control can take me out

[neon lynx]

Go watch any hc stream lol

It’s how they all play

[stiff crown]

Skill issue

[barren pawn]

death being the end of a character is fekkin stupid yes

[neon lynx]

Pop pot. Go play. Pot procs go to town and reapply it

😂

[barren pawn]

i am okay with it for stealth games

since yoiu can avoid damage entirely

[hardy loom]

Can u trade in hc ?

[stuck snow]

Anyone have graphics settings recommendations to make playing Elemental Nova without a raging headache possible?

[livid dirge]

Yes ?

[crimson raft]

Not using ele nova 😛

[hardy loom]

That's a monitor settings issue

Lower brightness / glare

[hardy loom]

Oh 😂 just wandering thought

[unborn hamlet]

yoo dep u seen my slam?

[stuck snow]

I don't think glare is a monitor setting. Brightness is set fine, lower would make the game not visible.

[unborn hamlet]

2LP shackles dropped

[hardy loom]

Sharpness probably

[stuck snow]

It's not the sharpness, it's the whole screen being filled with flashbangs of every color.

[hardy loom]

Idk mine doesn't look like what some claim to be super "flashy" eyes numbing lights

[livid dirge]

But I don't trade I love more to buff my own loot with circle of fortune then have the market and get my gear too easy lol

[shell fern]

i stopped playing ele nova solely for that reason, it doesnt do that much for clear anyway and for bossing its not needed

[stuck snow]

Are you playing with Crest of Unity and autocasting on Frost Claw yeba?

[hardy loom]

Grinding for gold grinding for loot all the same to me, it's all just grinding

[hardy loom]

Just standard lightning fc nova

[stuck snow]

It was a mild problem for me when I was playing with Prismatic Gaze, but its been a huge problem now that I switched to Crest of Unity.

[hardy loom]

O that bad eh

I like the 4% base crit on prismatic too much

Over crest

[shell fern]

without crest of unity it was tolerable somewhat but i still disliked it. but with crest...

[hardy loom]

But my crest only has 40% inc area

Might be my eyes are fked or my monitor is good cuz I don't feel anything playing this, even on cold ballista falconer

[livid dirge]

Same

[hardy loom]

U can also just unspec all the area increased nodes on nova

[livid dirge]

Plus on my build I can't see anything I have too much aoe on my screen lol

[hardy loom]

I'm also on 32inch monitor

[livid dirge]

Same 32 2k 165hz

[hardy loom]

Ooo same

[stuck snow]

I can't upload files here, but I took a screenshot of a pretty mild screen by this build's standards with all the settings turned down. You can't see any ground effects and the flashing is super obnoxious (which you can't really tell in a screenshot)

[hardy loom]

Different people eyes handle stuff differently

It is what it is

[stuck snow]

I've only had issues with this build to be clear, other "noisy" screen stuff I haven't had any issues with.

[hardy loom]

Try unspec all area nodes and put into dmg instead

Might help

[neon lynx]

Where are all these crest enjoyers coming from

Which YouTuber put out a crap build that said it’s good

[stuck snow]

Maybe. Even better would be an answer to my original question of if anyone had noticed settings that made it less intense.

[hardy loom]

Idk the 4% base crit is just giga good over crest

😂

[barren pawn]

Why are we using crest? Its bugged, and completely fekks nova up

its fien for leveling

not fine for content clearing

[stuck snow]

I was running prismatic for the last week or two, having a lot more fun with crest though

other than my eyes bleeding

[neon lynx]

I guess worse build is more fun?

[stuck snow]

"worse"

[hardy loom]

Taking the 80% area nodes on lightning side + the fire 250% already seems omega huge

[neon lynx]

Wearing crest to buff your nova is the equivalent of wearing a unique to buff flame rush damage

Neither one do any damage

[hardy loom]

Nova just there to make my screen look busy

[stuck snow]

So... no? No settings suggestions, just people wanting to spend time complaining about builds different than their own?

[barren pawn]

turn the games settigns down to low, and cut the brightness as already suggested?

We dont have an effects intensity option like warframe

[stuck snow]

Yeah, I meant settings people had tried and succeeded with. Not guesses. I have tried both of those things.

[barren pawn]

If nobody told you anything other than adjusting your brightness, then odds are theres nothing you can do

[twilit stag]

Yea there's only so many ways we can tell you no lol

[hardy loom]

[stuck snow]

Right, if someone asks a question "Is there anyone that ____". They're not looking for a bunch of "No not me" and "I have never thought of that before" and "I've never seen or experienced this, but have you tried buying a new monitor"?

You don't need to waste time saying no. Just say nothing if you have no useful input. To leave room for either emptiness to answer the question, or a useful answer.

[hardy loom]

😂

[cloud vault]

[barren pawn]

@safe grail we got another honda boi

[hardy loom]

Another one of those

[stiff crown]

Season 4 already?

[cold sand]

The scaling from INT is just added dmg, so 1 int is the same as 4% increased elemental dmg, right? All goes into the same pool

[barren pawn]

" I didnt get the right answer to my question immediately, and the answers i got were useless / unhelpful "

[hardy loom]

Your answers are useless, why are u replying me smh

[twilit stag]

Correct, it is increased damage that gets combined with all other increased damage

[stuck snow]

I didn't need an answer immediately, but I also didn't need a bunch of non-answers.

[hardy loom]

First time in a public discord chat ?

😂

[stuck snow]

😂 I guess this caliber of one yes

[barren pawn]

dude you asked, we told you to tweak your brightness or turn down the games settings. There are literally no other options, so i dont know what you expected./

[safe grail]

Nah this guy is asking a question. the other dude was making a comment/statement at the time

big difference

[old vine]

Best chest piece for the lightning frost claw build?

[stuck snow]

Unstable Core probably, Static Shell works as well though

[old vine]

Ty. Is fundamental criterion not good?

[stuck snow]

I don't know enough to say if it is or isn't good. I haven't seen it used in frost claw builds, but I haven't personally tried to.

[old vine]

Gotcha ty

[sullen umbra]

so I am working on a Frostbite Frost claw build and https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/oPEwb1JA is the state of my gear... some of it is good some is bad. I am Rank 8 in CoF... what prophecies should I be searching for right now and which item upgrades should be the priority?
the main issues I am having are
-Mana Sustain: sometimes I am good for an entire echo, sometimes it is bottoming out right away
-some times in an echo I get one shot out of the blue but I do know why that is happening, it is part my resists not being capped and part not having much crit mitigation.
-Slower time to Kill than I was expecting for initial empowered monolith echos...

[inner tinsel]

I heard frostbite frost claw falls off hard at high corruptions and lightning variance has higher cap, so what if I scale frostbite’s dot damage instead of freezing multipliers? Shouldn’t the dot theoretically scale better than normal damage?

[stiff crown]

Consider a better gaming chair

Or GUNNAR esports glasses

[hardy loom]

Hover over ur nova

Is it 0mana

Get it to 0 cuz u have 3 points in glacial might

All the points past glacial might should be taken out

[sullen umbra]

not sure what you are talking about, as I don't yet have enough extra points for frost claw to have it proc the elemental nova... and why take out the points in glacial might?

[hardy loom]

Lol

Do u read ur passive ?

U playing frostbite

[shy jewel]

Is static orb / lightning blast still viable / decent build to level up to 70? Thanks!

[hardy loom]

Ur passive tree, celestial doom does nothing for u. Nothing is applying brand for u

[livid dirge]

This chat is funny to read lol

[hardy loom]

Ah too much effort I'm lazy

So many things wrong

[livid dirge]

Lol

[sullen umbra]

so I come here to ask Specifically about Gear Priorities and I get made fun of for the guide I am following from Maxroll?

[rough python]

Does the COF rewards for unique relics reward also include weavers, or do I have to specifically select the unique relics reward prophecies to get weavers relics loot.

[hardy loom]

Just pointing out issues with ur skills 😉

And priorities for frostbite fc is simply stacking cold pen, freezing multi , damage over time and capping your resist

U also pointed out ur mana sustain issue

[barren pawn]

stop usin gmaxroll.

ITs trash tier

[hardy loom]

And what I said will solve ur problem

😂

[barren pawn]

Lookup build guides on yt and letools

actually, post the maxroll build

let ssee this mess

[hardy loom]

Look at his pastebin link and check his skills

It's a disaster

[barren pawn]

pastebin?

[hardy loom]

This one

Oh it's not pastebin

[barren pawn]

i dont see a pastebin

[hardy loom]

I saw wrong

[barren pawn]

I asked to see the maxtroll guide

OMG FUNNY TYPO

[hardy loom]

Leave it there

Imma call it maxtroll now

[livid dirge]

Good lol

[hardy loom]

There's a high chance it's just them not reading the guide properly

[barren pawn]

nah there are legit bad builds on maxtroll

[hardy loom]

💀

[sullen umbra]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/frostbite-frost-claw-runemaster-guide

[unborn hamlet]

thats the one i use but a bit tweaked, can verify its poggies

[modern dawn]

Yall need to do less gatekeeping. Maxroll is one of the few vendors with a functioning beta API. If someone wants to use a build they create, don't bust on em for it.

[hollow arrow]

maxkyoroll

[barren pawn]

Letools literally does everything it does, better.

and is accessible to everyone, for build crafting

[hardy loom]

Oh it's Bina guide

[modern dawn]

So maybe point them at that option, rather than berating them?

[neon lynx]

the only person who gatekeeps anything got banned

[barren pawn]

^

The only actual gatekeeper got banned 3 days ago

[sullen umbra]

when I was looking for 1.0 runemaster builds the only ones that I ccould find except for Alliiee's build were on maxroll...

[modern dawn]

Just be nice to folks, it's not a hard thing to ask 🙂

[unborn hamlet]

wait who got yeeted?

the i know everything guy?

the siphon preacher?

😂

[barren pawn]

ye

[unborn hamlet]

about damn time

[hardy loom]

Have u read the elemental nova section ? The info there could solve ur mana issue

😉

[neon lynx]

https://imgur.com/a/Hc5EvqV

wdym

[unborn hamlet]

yea

but there was legit 3 builds on maxroll

when the game launched

for RM

[hollow arrow]

ngl siphon aint bad

for vk

[unborn hamlet]

hydra frostbite and plasma orb

[hollow arrow]

[sullen umbra]

at least a week ago there was just the one...

[sullen umbra]

how would that help since I currently do not have any points to spec into the node that procs elemental nova?

[hardy loom]

Right I saw

Unspec from the bottom left

And spec into nova

Or just simply get more mana

[neon lynx]

id take shiver and reowyns out before those

[hardy loom]

Ah yeah

Tbh even if guides were good, so what

People don't often read

They just see planner and go k

[neon lynx]

and probably a crack in the ice

since i dont think u can sustain all 3 without exalt - mana cost sceptre

[sullen umbra]

kinda why my initial question was about what Gear should I prioritize.... for example the suggested relic has +2 to level of frost claw, and mine doesn't... and the tool tipe for ele nova says it is still at 2 mana... I do know enough and contrary to @yeba 's conclusion read well enough to know that elenova needs to be 0 mana cost...

[hardy loom]

Well I know how to optimize ur build

Not even gear issue

[neon lynx]

i dont think ur getting novas cost down to 0 any time soon

if u want freezing cascade

gonna make u need a t7 -mana cost sceptre

[hardy loom]

It's not even needed, doesn't add to ur dps

[sullen umbra]

the main thing I want right now is to stop running out of mana with just frost claw, Reowyns Frost guard and Flame ward...

[neon lynx]

i told u what to do to ur fc tree

to stop running out of mana

xd

[hardy loom]

On through the snow

[sullen umbra]

and compared to even the starting gear in the guide I am following some of my gear Needs Upgrades... shrug

[hardy loom]

U just need this

Take out a crack in the ice and ever onward

U don't need it yet

Spec those into nova procs node

[neon lynx]

ever onward is the 3rd cast

idk about takin that out

[hardy loom]

It's not necessary at his stage of the game

[glass sinew]

I've got Static Orb just for the Lightning Aegis, how should put my points in it? I'm playing a hit based fire build so there's very little synery (that I see).

[neon lynx]

yeah but he can just take out the last one and reowyns

and put 2 points into nova

and call it good there

[hardy loom]

That is true too

[neon lynx]

then put the point back in reowyns after u get a fc relic

and the last point down bottom after t6 sceptre

[hardy loom]

Why the focus on sceptre

[neon lynx]

cuz it gives more -mana cost

so he can sustain

since he cant take mana eff

xd

[sullen umbra]

sorry I missed your mentioning "a crack in the ice" I can see why that could be problematic... but why take out Reowyns Veil?

[hardy loom]

Run wands until frozen ire

[neon lynx]

so u have the points for nova proc

[neon lynx]

-3 isnt enough to sustain i dont think

is it

[hardy loom]

It is

[neon lynx]

o

i know i need 1 point in mana eff

to sustain with a wand

🤷

[hardy loom]

Probcuz I'm using 2x idols

[sullen umbra]

if I have the nova proc i will have the same issue with mana because my nova still costs 2 mana...

[neon lynx]

im using 2x idols too

[hardy loom]

😮

[neon lynx]

take the points out of cascade

and the ones before it that increase cost

until ur cost is 0

[hardy loom]

If u have mana issue u take out the mana cost nodes.....

[unborn hamlet]

T6 sceptre and 2 FC idols 12%+ is enough to sustain

ideally u want a T7

[neon lynx]

yeah see

can u do it with just -3?

[unborn hamlet]

if u seal a mana regen on the bottom and have mana regen items

[neon lynx]

i OOM with just the -3 from a wand and no points in eff

[unborn hamlet]

yea

[hardy loom]

I never had issue on frostclaw wand tho

[unborn hamlet]

-3 is like lowkey enough with enough mana pool and mana regen

[hardy loom]

Yeah 300 ish

[neon lynx]

i hate building regen

🤢

[unborn hamlet]

i have a T7 mana regen wand and its fine, but its a wasted stat so

better to have like t2-t3 sealed

[neon lynx]

if it was a suffix

id let it happen

xd

[hardy loom]

Mana Regen 🤢

[unborn hamlet]

suffix would be broken 😂

[hardy loom]

On wand too yikes

[neon lynx]

i aint giving up damage for regen tho lol

anyways drac

[hardy loom]

Too bad I swap to lightning I can't check my old setup for frost

[neon lynx]

ur following a guide that assumes u have way more gear than u do

gotta drop stuff to make it playable until u get the gear

tis what happens when u follow a non leveling guide

[unborn hamlet]

the FC guide really needs a T6 sceptre and FC idols to be playable

trust me

im using it

[neon lynx]

he dont have a t6 scept

lol

[unborn hamlet]

then he needs to not take the extra casts

remove all that

spec them into nova

-3 from a wand is enough for that

[hardy loom]

The build is still super comfy to play with a single recast anyway and nova procs anyway until better gear

[crimson raft]

play LB direct, never have to care about running outta mana ^^

[neon lynx]

yeah

honda boy said so

[unborn hamlet]

remove crack in the ice, ever onward and trough the snow

spec it into nova

or cold star for extra dps

u can also just use 2pts in artors to take celestial conflux instead

u dont need 4 points in that per se

[quick rose]

How do I get frost, fire , frost on my Runic invocation? I got Immutable order and got Runic Invocation, Flame Ward and Flame ruhs in order from left

[neon lynx]

invoc doesnt count for anything

for immutable

[unborn hamlet]

runic doesnt count

[quick rose]

Aah

[unborn hamlet]

i use snap freeze as a fodder spell to fill in the gap

and its a free boss stun

[hardy loom]

Most op lvl1 skill

[unborn hamlet]

no joke

[neon lynx]

its actually good too

not just a filler spot

xd

[sullen umbra]

okay, so I have removed the 6 'offending for lack of a better word' points in nova to get it's cost to 0, and removed A crack in the ice and reowyn's veil and will ad the nova proc points when I get them back...

[neon lynx]

and see how ur sustain is with that

[sullen umbra]

when I get those skill points back what do I do with the ele nova skill points?

[neon lynx]

whats the cost of claw now?

[sullen umbra]

frost claw is now 22

[hardy loom]

Spec all into freeze multi nodes top left

[neon lynx]

yeah

ull never oom with that

24 is the sweet spot

[quick rose]

How often do I need to renew the order?

[neon lynx]

just hit it on cooldown

if frostguard goes down u die

xd

[quick rose]

Oh nice

[unborn hamlet]

no reason to not use it as soon as its up

[hardy loom]

I wanna put it to activate on flame rush

😢

But rip mana

[quick rose]

Yeah, my wards tripled lol

I dont need to use freeze snap unless I wanna freeze something right?

[neon lynx]

ya

use it to free bosses

before they hit u

or to delay/skip mechs

[shy jewel]

Don't want to be a bother but if some one could tell me, is this build viable / decent for leveling? I'd appreciate that. Only started my last epoch journey today so got a lot to learn. Thank you!
https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/sorcerer-leveling-guide

[neon lynx]

basically anything is fine for getting through the campaign

would suggest taking a look at runemaster before u get to set on sorc tho

[shy jewel]

I'm guessing that runemaster > sorc? Saying that I've seen some videos on yt with rather decent sorcs

[hardy loom]

Have fun and experiment with ur skills

[neon lynx]

unless u rly wanna play meteor

basically anything else rm can do better

[safe grail]

lol flame reave spellblade kinda fun to level with

[hollow arrow]

👀

[shy jewel]

Ohh that's.. Depressing 😂 I mean literally got sorc few minutes ago so there's that 👀

[oblique fossil]

Can reroll and have someone port you to eot...

[hardy loom]

Tainting new mages with runemaster smh

[neon lynx]

simply showing them the light before theyre too far in

😂

[hollow arrow]

light of the devil yup

[hardy loom]

My lvl95 spell blade collecting dust ...

Yep sounds like me

[neon lynx]

lol

hopefully sorc and spellblade get some love cycle 2

[hollow arrow]

need warpath love in cycle 2

[sullen umbra]

I am either still doing something wrong or very unlucky on the mana regain procs because there still seems to be a bit of a mana issue... so I guess that means I need to figure out what will give me some more mana regen?

[shy jewel]

I'm guessing that it's either reroll, well creating new character or going with sorc this cycle, which ends in may is it or? 👀

[neon lynx]

being such low level id seriously suggest rm as ur first character

after thats done u can revisit sorc if u want

[shy jewel]

Yeah I'll go with RM. It is what it is. Won't take long to get back to where I am now after all so better now than later. Would be more annoyed with more hours deep down, definitely.
Also side question about cycles - this game resets just like Diablo every 3-4 months doesn't it? In terms of seasons cycles

[neon lynx]

yea

[jolly lichen]

Can someone link a good flame reave build?

[barren pawn]

@safe grail

your time has come

[safe grail]

There are none

[hollow arrow]

cept for the one ex is making

[safe grail]

nah bootynoodles is TCing jaspers flame reave atm

im just using it cause i had a lot of fire gear that is twink leveled

so it was easy to adapt it to level

[hollow arrow]

tru

[neon lynx]

got no idea how ur running out with cost at 22

ur sure ur nova costs 0?

just logged in to double check and im 100% mana neutral with 24 cost

[hardy loom]

Still mana issue ? Remove more points

Take out ever onward

😂

[shy jewel]

@neon lynx sorry for ping / anyways thank you very much! 🎉

Appreciate your help

[neon lynx]

👍

[sullen umbra]

yes, nova costs 0

could be just my bad luck on the 36% chance to gain back mana on FC...

[warped kraken]

Mountain boots unique

[hardy loom]

Man's runing yellow equipments and blues

Ain't no mountain boots

😂

[warped kraken]

Lol they are pretty common drop 😆 or buy it

[hardy loom]

I typed out the frostclaw node to unspec for him but o well, ignored

[neon lynx]

i dont think theres any passives

dunno why i can sustain 2 more mana cost

[warped kraken]

frozen malice i assume?

[jolly lichen]

☹️

[sullen umbra]

what do you mean buy? I did specify this character was CoF

[warped kraken]

F

then go do lightless 🤣

[hardy loom]

At low levels simply just a single recast node will work wonders , ever onward and through the snow node on frostclaw

I was blasting with this until enhanced

[safe grail]

like i said, there are a few folks trying to make Jasper's reave work

but

[warped kraken]

ah yea if leveling definitely dont go for the recasts in the bottom left

[safe grail]

it's gonna end up wanting a 2 LP Jasper's to probably do anything fantastic

and those are just turbo rare as it is cause no one is gonna be actively farming those

[hardy loom]

His rocking yellow equips and blue tier catalyst

💀

[warped kraken]

yikes he doesnt even get spark charge dmg

[jolly lichen]

@safe grail Eh I’m casual, not interested in ladder, just tasting end game

[safe grail]

that's uhhh

what im saying

lol

Reave does not scale beyond like 175ish corruption rn

[hardy loom]

Even no recast frost claw + nova is already strong

[safe grail]

I'm sure if someone is turbo diligent, they can make it happen, but it's just not good lol

[barren pawn]

i just randomly had sumn funny pop in my head

in regards to MG vs CoF

[hardy loom]

[next lance]

is there any point going crit lightning meteor/fireball with the staff over simply basic crit fire meteor/fireball?

[barren pawn]

" get yo money up, not yo funny up "

[safe grail]

staff sucks, dont bother

[next lance]

any more elaborate answer than 4 words?

[stiff crown]

MG right now is "get your wallet out, that's what it's all about"

[safe grail]

There is no actual point to do that

better?

[next lance]

no, cause it doesn’t articulate the “why”

[barren pawn]

wdym?

Earning gold is easy asf

Idols sell like hotcakes for quite a nice chunk o change

[stiff crown]

The value is gold decreases every minute

[hardy loom]

Lol

[safe grail]

Here's the beginning and end of it then;

Set items are historically weaker than about 98% of the exalted/unique items you could possible put there

You asked if there was a point, not if one should elaborate. Be more deliberate in your question next time lol

[barren pawn]

set items are weak, but some of them enaBKE FUN

caos

caps*

that said, they arent really worth it outside memes, anmd fuin

if yo uplan to be competitive, or just able to push to 400 ish

they arent doin it

[safe grail]

I'm glad that they are going to update sets

cause

[sullen umbra]

@hardy loom you say that it appears to you that I am ignoring you, yet I most certainly did remove the point from A Crack in the Ice as you and @neon lynx suggested, and even stated as much. Also it appears to me from some of the emoji's you are using indicate that you are Laughing at me. this has started to Upset me a little so I ask you with all the politeness I can muster, If you do find my difficulties or my questions amusing could you Please keep it to yourself?

[safe grail]

i'd love to really use em

[barren pawn]

they should be better @safe grail

Sets should be way better than a singl eunique

they should be dbuild defining

[hardy loom]

What the

[safe grail]

No they should not be

set items being build defining is bad design

[next lance]

so generally due to the weakness of the staff, it makes a pure lightning fireball through liath’s not really necessary/valuable

[safe grail]

they should 100% support a build better though which they dont right now

[hardy loom]

Not just that point btw, remove the other recast that cost u mana

[barren pawn]

for the slot investment, they should be.

Or they should grant MAJOR support to a build

[safe grail]

If this game

goes the route

of D3

and makes it so set items are too build defining

i stop playing it until they revert that change

[hardy loom]

Remove all of it, if ur mana is always full, spec one point to see if ur mana is sufficient @sullen umbra

[next lance]

what should be build-defining then?

[hardy loom]

Well no more emojis before I hurt someone feelings

[next lance]

vs build-enabling?

[barren pawn]

build defining would = d3 sets

where you coimpletely change a class skill to something compeltely different, and stomnger

build enabling would = supportsd an already established build

[neon lynx]

I hope sets never become bis for anything. Unless they get lp or random rolls

[safe grail]

This is the only way i think i'd be even remotely okay w/ it

[hardy loom]

Can't craft on sets, can't slam , boring

[neon lynx]

Makes gearing so boring when u don’t have to put any chase or thought into those slots

[safe grail]

but they said they arent going to give sets LP

so

[next lance]

so the lightning meteor staff should remain dumpstered because by its very nature it defines a lightning meteor build?

[neon lynx]

Just simply drop one. Put it on and never think about that slot again

You know what would be kinda cool. What if like… set runes dropped. And then you could craft the set bonuses onto exalts

[safe grail]

@next lance the way the staff SHOULD work is for this effect to actually be the effect:

Converts meteor's base damage and it's applicable nodes, causing it to no longer scale with fire damage and causing Meteor to count as a lightning spell. Does not affect Shrapnel.

[hardy loom]

That is great

[safe grail]

this would be build supporting and make it an enjoyable item to use

but not build a build defining set

if that were the SET effect, then it'd be build-defining

cus rn if you use that staff

it converts the dmg and thats it

so you lose like 4 nodes worth of crap that no longer scales

cause those nodes only work w/ fire dmg

[next lance]

it allows for the use of the non-fire damage boost node for absolute free to full effect, however. So there’s that at least

[safe grail]

yeah but now you don't get to use shrapnel or craterborn,

[next lance]

I agree it should do total conversion ala other skill nodes

[neon lynx]

Why isn’t meteors nodes just buffing meteor

[safe grail]

craterborn is a MAJOR buff from meteor

[neon lynx]

Instead of meteor fire damage

lol

[safe grail]

well craterborn gives meteor a 6 second buff that applies 75% Fire pen to you

so that just becomes a dead node

[neon lynx]

Make crater just give 75% pen then

[safe grail]

and there aren't actually any fire nodes in there i thought there were

[neon lynx]

Boom sorc buffs

😂

[safe grail]

but it literally kills the bottom left like 4-5 nodes

[next lance]

although it could allow you to focus more on other stuff such as multi-meteor and other things, yes?

craterborn itself seems skill-defining, must-have, which might be an issue too.

[safe grail]

craterborn makes it so you can skip getting shred/pen

almost entirely.

opening your gear up to other stats

[next lance]

and that seems almost too good to not take, which is an issue for a balanced specialization variety

[safe grail]

i mean tbf sorc hasnt been touched in fkn forever

[humble spoke]

hi

[safe grail]

so we're arguing giant moot points right

that being said

[humble spoke]

anione know how to turn down special effect?

[next lance]

it’s sorely in need of a rework, yeah.

[safe grail]

set items in general are just dog to use cause of the LP piece

[humble spoke]

my runemaster break my mind

[safe grail]

you use a staff w/ no LP and you literally ate up 2 slots that can get LP

[next lance]

I do love the lightning meteor effects

it looks so cool

[humble spoke]

not my mind ahahha

[next lance]

options menu should have what you’re looking for

[safe grail]

we're talking about something entirely diff lol

[humble spoke]

nope

[next lance]

dunno then, try the #❔┃ask-the-community channel

the blue fireballs are pretty too.

[barren pawn]

You cant. AS we already told someone earlier

You can lower your brightness, maybe tone down the game ssettings

but thats it really

[nova girder]

guys any builds using wrongwarp? cant find anything online and my knowledge of the game is limited to make my own build from scratch 😦

[upbeat hollow]

is the 500% accurate on https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/fireball_aoe ?

[warm sigil]

Anyone know if wrongwarp is classified as a stun for the sake of modifiers? Stun duration idols specifically

[warm sigil]

I've been making my own, don't think anyone really uses it as I've had no luck getting help with my build either.

[nova girder]

i was thinking any build that uses laddle could use wrongwarp if you can afford putting teleport into your bars

[safe grail]

wrongwarp is a p sizeable step down in terms of dmg

and you only gain benefits from it if you are stacking armor and can do so w/ TP

[nova girder]

with not investing heavily into movement speed you can get 130ms easily and thats *3 spell damage + 30% cast speed

[safe grail]

yeah i get that it's just we're playing builds that all scale w/ int

and cast speed

[nova girder]

now idk if 390 increased spell damage and 30% castspeed outperforms 48% more damage

[barren pawn]

I tired it out, its garbo

beaten out by an exalted

in terms of dmg

[safe grail]

youre playiong dis

its different

[barren pawn]

also random tp is annoying

[barren pawn]

I tried it on a differnt mage <.<

one that exists on 1.0 and 1.0 alone

[nova girder]

the range is pretty predictable though and you get a 3 second immunity and movement speed, i kinda like the item

and slammed one with T7 spell damge and T5 cast speed so i kinda want to use it somewhere xd

[warm sigil]

that slam sounds so nice

wish I had that lol

[nova girder]

what build are you running it with?

[warm sigil]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/QJz9g8xQ
This is what im working with currently. I enjoy it so far, not quite ready to give up on it yet. I think I can do 300c with my current set up, but higher is going to require getting some good slams and my luck hasn't been there yet.

ugh.. how do you stop that from popping up?

I have TP down to a 2.4 second cd, so there is only a 1.4 second window to take damage, surviving isnt my issue though its damage lol.

Just been making it all up as I go, im enjoying it 🤷

[safe grail]

block the bot

[warm sigil]

Will that stop it from popping the statblock, or just not display it for me?

[robust junco]

Put a ~ before the link

That will prevent the bot from posting

[warm sigil]

awesome, ty

[robust junco]

~https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/QJz9g8xQ

[safe grail]

it'll stop the whole display for you only

[warm sigil]

Whats yours looking like?

[stiff crown]

I feel like if you're going to use Exsanguinous, just commit the boots and the gloves too

[warm sigil]

The gloves are healt to ward as well

the boots im leaving with frenzy on traverse

[stiff crown]

My bad, I missed that

Commit the boots

[warm sigil]

Trying to get a haste boosted + sealed frenzy

[stiff crown]

Haste is a "whatever" stat IMO

[warm sigil]

What boots offer health to ward?

[stiff crown]

Last Steps of the Living

[warm sigil]

haste is more damage with wrongwarp

[stiff crown]

Oh okay

[warm sigil]

Ill look at thoose boots though, getting a slam could be a big boost

but right now surviving isnt the issue its clear time.

[stiff crown]

Yeah, I see what you're doing

Disregard

[warm sigil]

those boots look nice other than the chill

anyway to negate chill? other than cleanse on potion use and enchant wep?

[stiff crown]

Frost Claw can cleanse

If specced

[warm sigil]

im going to avoid frost claw, dont wanna play the meta 🤷

oof lp2 very unlikely for those boots, thats a shame

[unborn hamlet]

wrongwarp user its joever

just a question, isnt glyph of dominion meant for team play support

[warm sigil]

No idea, im not very far into the game lol

[molten wedge]

paint

[warm sigil]

I use it for more nova casts

Honestly, wasn't sure what other skills to use in this build and that one seemed, ok.

[sturdy summit]

it is good for that, but it's not the only way to use it. Glyph of Dominion is really good at area control, slowing everything before it gets to you.

it's an alternative to frost wall for getting a fire rune

[unborn hamlet]

i understand he has the nova as his main spell

but still should drop crest of bugnity

get a +4 on a normal helmet instead

[sturdy summit]

I dropped the node that cast the nova. I don't think it really did anything.

[unborn hamlet]

for FC?

what u use instead

[sturdy summit]

for Glyph of Dominion

[unborn hamlet]

oh

[sturdy summit]

nova on FC is great

but just getting a single nova and some flame aura stacks when the glyph finishes growing wasn't worth the points, imo

[unborn hamlet]

hm

welp, my agenda for tomorrow is farming Ocearons

and cope for 3LP one

[stiff crown]

2LP Ocearon is already 300m

[unborn hamlet]

compared to some of the items 0.016 is not totally unreasonable

luckily i dont care about MG

[warm sigil]

Im tempted, but I havent gotten a t7 nova helm yet. So unity is working for now

[sturdy summit]

at least it's not into scientific notation range

[unborn hamlet]

i also cant decide what to slam into my 4LP scavenger belt

like the belt is w/e, its just extra potion chance

but the haste is nice

[warm sigil]

cant wait for my first 4lp lol

I know it will probably be useless but, still exciting

[unborn hamlet]

just roll the gamba trillions upon trillions of times and u will drop it

4LP snowdrifts are 0.000001 chance. and i already seen a guy with em

[stiff crown]

So you're saying there's a chance...

[unborn hamlet]

if its not 100% its a 50/50

you either get it or u dont

[errant plank]

Hello guyz, dumb question, i did all normal monos and started few empowered. I finished all quest but still have no clue on how to craft a leg for example... Did i miss something? I can see like a quest tag on first era but nothing visible there, could it be a bug?

same i dont know what is corruption, how to increase etc

[soft elm]

Hi guys, i don't understand maxroll guide, 6 point in "branded boss" but no one skill that brand it, thefuckk

[stiff crown]

You sure you don't have Brand of Deception?

[errant plank]

ill check in the middle of the top three monos...

[soft elm]

Oh, they upgraded it yesterday, mea culpa

They had static orb and 0 point in flame rush 😄

[stiff crown]

🐸

[errant plank]

and i can see "monolith completion": 10/20

timelines conquered: 12

im lost 😄

[sturdy summit]

what do you mean, craft a leg?

and yes, seeing the phantom quest tags is a bug

mouse over it to see the name of the quest

[sturdy summit]

there are 10 normal monoliths, and 10 empowered monoliths. that's the 10/20

and you've done 2 repeats

for a total of 12 boss kills

[errant plank]

doesnt work but nvm, let it be

[errant plank]

using LP of a unique, with an exalter as far as i understood

[sturdy summit]

oh, legendary. I keep hearing craft a leg 🦵

in the game guide, read the article on Legendary

[errant plank]

but i did each normal once and 2 others as empowered (level 100)

[errant plank]

mouhahahaha

[errant plank]

will do

ok understood, temporal sanctum, not explained anywhere is the campaign but ok, i know that now 🙂

[unborn hamlet]

i still didnt do a single soulfire bastion or arena, dont worry

good luck figuring out the maze in temporal sanctum tho

get that first run enjoyment and once u suffer for 30 minutes u can ask for help

😂

[stiff crown]

Is it possible to get 400% cooldown speed? 🤔

[errant plank]

haha will see this later on i guess, will start by increasing corruption with the shades 🙂

[unborn hamlet]

technically yes with the experimental affix

chug a potion, remove X seconds from traversal skill

[stiff crown]

The double all stats unique?

[errant plank]

for the bonus when you switch timelines, how much can it be?

[unborn hamlet]

depends on your highest corruption

[errant plank]

globally whats is the difference between my min and my max i should try to keep to go up efficiently overall? Should i do that or just focus on items im looking for ?

[unborn hamlet]

u need 3-4 shade kills to catch up to your highest corruption from a flat 100cor

i dont even know what ur asking there

[errant plank]

whatever the initial diff is ?

any clue on how corruption impacts loots exactly and what level i should aim for at first ?

[sturdy summit]

I do shade every 2 gaze, and I focus on the timelines I need for boss drops, blessings, or prophecies, without worrying too much about the corruption.

[unborn hamlet]

it doesnt impact loot almost at all

[errant plank]

any "what is "gaze"?

[unborn hamlet]

u get more of it, and better chance at exalts, but u can farm the same stuff at 100cor and at 1500cor

[sturdy summit]

I think get to 200 corruption, and that's a good spot. 300 is also a useful breakpoint.

[errant plank]

whats the purpose of doing shades then?

[unborn hamlet]

the map is not infinite

just do whatever corruption u can handle

[sturdy summit]

gaze of orobyss is a buff that gives you more corruption when you kill shade.

you get a stack every time you kill the boss

and you lose them when you die to shade

[errant plank]

yeah ok got this, how can i know how many gaze ive?

i should have 12 atm

[sturdy summit]

top left in echo web

[errant plank]

or maybe 2 if only in empowered

[unborn hamlet]

cmon bro i understand u are new, but so was I, and all this is very intuitive to learn, u just have to read 😂

[sturdy summit]

no, you should have 1

[unreal umbra]

chance at LP also improves. at 600 it's 15% or so.

[unborn hamlet]

look, if u break that increase down

it doesnt help whatsoever

if an item is already in the integer limit of improbability

increasing a 1 in a trillion to 1.5 in a trillion does nothing

[errant plank]

ok i see the gaze thing, its linked to each timeline

[sturdy summit]

just because it's negligable doesn't mean it doesn't help

[unreal umbra]

higher corruption is also more exp, which means more favor which means more prophecies (if cof)

[unborn hamlet]

that is true

[errant plank]

read where ?

[errant plank]

thanks for this

[sturdy summit]

I think this stuff should also be covered in the game guide

[unborn hamlet]

but overall, dont feel pressured into doing higher corruption u cant handle for miniscule better odds

[sturdy summit]

yes, don't try to push beyond your limits. Find a comfortable corruption and farm there

don't do higher corruption if it impacts your ability to farm

[unreal umbra]

higheer the better as long as it doesn't affect your clear speed. but dont stress too much

[unborn hamlet]

i can push 1000+, my build can handle it, but why farm at a 1000 when echo takes me 10 mins each

if i can sit at 500

and do an echo in a minute

efficiency ->

[errant plank]

ok got it thank you

you three

how long for a boss kill from 0 on your side ?

like 10/15 echos, 20 minutes overall ?

[next lance]

What´s the best mage specialization rn?

[unreal umbra]

the only real breakpoints are 200 (shade drops omnis) and 3xx is some prophecy requirements

[unborn hamlet]

bosses gain increasingly infinite defense stats to prevent u from just evaporating them, if ur asking about that

[stiff crown]

15% of 0%

[unborn hamlet]

yea there is certain builds that can just nuke them but boss kills generally take the same amount of time no matter how good your gear gets

[next lance]

Was mostly asking since Im stuck between donig a spellblade or going a more traditional role as a spellcaster

I like hitting with my sword and casting magic

So I guess Spellblade would be the go to right?

[unborn hamlet]

im gonna give it to you straight

[stiff crown]

RM

[unborn hamlet]

spellblade is eating from the bottom of the barrell

[stiff crown]

The better spell blade

[unborn hamlet]

its the worst class in the game

[next lance]

gotcha so RM?

[winter crow]

if it takes you 10 min, then the build isnt suited for 1k corr

needs more dmg

[unborn hamlet]

no sh sherlock

[next lance]

Whats the other one?

RM, spellblade and whats the other one?

[unborn hamlet]

RM 10km road -> sorc -> a galaxy away spellblade

[next lance]

Sorry if I sound pressed, but since you cant respec your specialization then it;'s a pretty big decision.

[unborn hamlet]

just make new char

[next lance]

true

[barren pawn]

you struggled? It snot even really that challenging....

[unborn hamlet]

if u want to have a ´´good´´ experience just pick RM

[unborn hamlet]

i didnt read what i had to do, i was clueless, and it took me like 5 minutes to figure out how to even enter

cos the game doesnt tell u to press D

it just has a little glow in the small corner next to your skill bar

i also didnt know u can use the D key to throw the crystal above your head in lightless arbour until i was like 20 runs in

[barren pawn]

contextual clues arent your strongpoint are they

😂

[unborn hamlet]

i was just standing near the bonfire in the boss roomm

wdym contextual

the game should explain you the dungeon mechanic

[sturdy summit]

maze? what maze? just use the movement on runic invocation to warp through the doors, even when they're locked in both eras :sip:

[unborn hamlet]

without the need of opening the game guide and scrolling like a madman

all im saying is its not apparent what u need to do, and the game doesnt explain it either upon entering the dungeon

not that its hard

[unborn hamlet]

i know u can flamerush across, found that pretty early , doesnt work everytime but at a good angle u can do it, does it work with teleport?

[sturdy summit]

not with teleport, but it does work with Runic Invocation if you give it the hop. Warmage's Initiative. Likewise, there are some random doors it doesn't work on.

[unborn hamlet]

hm, i just flamerush across the iron bars most of the time

its like, 90% chance of success

for whatever reason when u faceplant them at an angle the game push you out on the other side

[sturdy summit]

yeah, I guess that makes sense. Both Flame Rush and Warmage's Initiative are "Move Forward" abilities, not "Move to your cursor" abilities.

[unborn hamlet]

a friend of mine i play with was mindblown that was possible 😂

[warm sigil]

No idea, I'm far too new to the game to know stuff like that lol.

[sturdy summit]

I'm pretty sure what's happening is that the movement's location ends up inside of an object, and so it bumps you to the closest point next to that object, which is on the other side. I have it happen around Gates as well.

[unborn hamlet]

it works in many spots of echo maps too

like fences etc

[sturdy summit]

yeah, teleport will get you around fences too, but it's not glitching through them. It has different mechanics because it instantly changes your position without moving in between, and so getting past obsticles is intended. But with Flame Rush and Warmage's Initiative it's an object collision glitch rounding in the wrong direction.

and so, teleport won't get you past the doors because it is programmed to look for a path around the obstacle.

[unborn hamlet]

flame rush superior traversal skill

anyway, off to bed, tmr i will mald for 2LP ocearons

[sturdy summit]

gn

[sullen umbra]

@yeba btw I figured out that the build I am following does in deed apply Brand of Subjucation via Flame Dash

[still stump]

what is ideal slam on ocearon? int and

[sturdy summit]

probably crit multi

[still stump]

crit chance?

its a ring right

[obsidian reef]

Damn why is everyone shitting on spellblade

like its bad but its not that bad

christ

[sturdy summit]

I see your pfp

[still stump]

lmao

[obsidian reef]

The only big problem with spellblade would be survivability or build flexibility

but even then spellblade can perform very well

overreaction imo

[sturdy summit]

it's true, sometimes we can get a little too tunnelled on pushing to the highest possible corruption, and turn that into absolute statements that something is bad if it can't do that. to wit, anyone who isn't the best player in the world is bad.

[next lance]

is there a great experience?

[sturdy summit]

only you can make your experience great. Runemaster will put the wind at your back.

rather than in your face

[next lance]

well said, ty

[stiff crown]

350c is peak for a LB Sorc

[carmine mulch]

so how does frost claw rm sound?

[sturdy summit]

frost claw is like the best mage spell. If you build around it, you're bound to have a good time.

[barren pawn]

The best amge spell is teleport

[sturdy summit]

okay, you're not going to get any argument from me on this one.

[barren pawn]

Good.

[carmine mulch]

so teleport over flame rush ?

[sturdy summit]

a lot of people use flame rush because its skill tree has powerful features and it provides a rune. This makes it very convenient to make a RM build around. However, teleport is the better mobility option, because it's instant movement. You can use it to dodge oneshot attacks, and specializing it is not required because it's good on its own.

[carmine mulch]

ahhh

ive just been following this maxroll build that seems good, this is the second arpg ive played so it all new , first was diablo... 4

[sturdy summit]

the only d4 I recognise is the kind I roll during D&D

[carmine mulch]

🤣

[potent grove]

How is diversity for endgame runemaster builds?

[sturdy summit]

people will go on and on about whatever the most recent new build is, but there's a lot of variety beyond that.

runemaster probably has the most endgame build diversity of any subclass in the game

[stiff crown]

ESG score through the floor

[hollow arrow]

alrighttttt time to play

whats the max amount of gold you can hold

[split oriole]

anybody else buying runes of shattering and they are not showing up?

[cloud vault]

p sure its 1.5 billion

[royal gull]

Every time I log in I figure out something I can change to improve my Frost Wall build and I love it

Hopefully I can go back to the other masteries with what I've learned and come up with something more interesting

[hollow totem]

Yes

[hollow arrow]

nah it's 2.1b or something like that

forgot it was the same as the max you can list an item for

time to make some money

[stiff crown]

Got down from 39s to 31s after updating the build. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sf8-GsTx-Ds&ab_channel=Kurii

[royal gull]

Most recent improvement was changing Runic Invocation into a Cooldown traversal skill when I realised A) I almost never hard cast it, so I'm not benefiting from getting the first and second rune spells from the "Movement" path, and B) Auto cast from Flame Rush wasn't triggering it either

So now I have a second trigger skill for "never late" and a more reliable way to get away from bosses without getting stunned

[stiff crown]

A lot of people are saying the auto cast isn't working. But I've never experienced it myself, or maybe just not noticed it. What is your max Mana?

[royal gull]

There is still going to be a reckoning at some point where I have to decide crit or frostbite, but I'm not high enough to have to pick yet

[royal gull]

Auto cast always works for me, it just didn't trigger the 1 and 2 rune versions when casting the 3 rune Flame Rush

But it was never meant to, because the "movement" tag path of Invocation says those things rely on hard casting

I was doing some testing on double cast today as well and that seems to always work since it never says it requires a hard cast

It is just hard to tell in my build because two blizzards looks a lot like one blizzard

I tried auto casting with 1 and 2 runes to see if it was working and it did

[stiff crown]

What you mean 1 and 2 rune version. Like a invo with only 2 runes, not 3?

[hollow arrow]

damn i havent played at all today

and still dont feel like playing lmao

must be a rest day

[rocky gale]

On the mad alchemist ladle, do we really only care about the shred armor%? Just not sure what else we really care about on rolls for the item (NovaClaw)

[neon lynx]

You care about lp and the slam

[rocky gale]

Well yeah obv but the stats on the actual ladle, i wasn't sure which ones or if any really matter. I think shred armor does but that is really it as for as the weapon stats

[neon lynx]

Shred mainly comes from the nova tree or from gloves or neck

Rolls don’t really matter on the ladle

[rocky gale]

Yeah i got 80% shred on my neck, i had a few different 2LP ladels and wasn't sure if it mattered which i slam, sounds like it really doesnt matter

so far i got t7 crit multi/t6 spell damage... cant find crit multi/cast speed

if only i can find a gdang +3/4 relic that will land on these damn twisted hearts... 3 slams and nothing and now im out of frost claw skill relics lol

[neon lynx]

Lp2 ain’t really worth a crazy double exalt slam imo

Just throw on a t7/t5

[rocky gale]

if it was crit multi/cast speed double exalt i would have saved it

that is the dream though

[royal gull]

If you have the Stride to Safety path you also cast the first and second rune spells when you cast a 3 rune spell

But only if you hard cast Runic Invocation, it won't trigger them in autocast versions like from Flame Rush with Epilogue

It seems pretty OK if you plan to hard cast Runic Invocation instead of using Flame Rush, bit of a branching decision there

The thing is Flame Rush has a 3.5 second cooldown and I'm already comboing it with Frost Wall and Runebolt, so I don't really need to also hard cast Invocation

Plus when I get my offhand unique I'll start casting my 3 rune spell every time I cast Frost Wall anyways

[grave goblet]

dumb question. do set items stack? Like if i have 2 rings that are the same do they both add values?

Using Invokers Scorching Grasp ring. But idk if the second one is doing anything

[safe grail]

yes

they just dont count towards the set bonus

[grave goblet]

Thank you!

comment about spellblade leveling currently:

Exsang + 2x humming bees is OP af

lol

[stiff crown]

Oh okay. Yeah. It even says "directly cast" in the description

[hollow arrow]

alright lets lvl frost rm

[old vine]

What’s the best defensive stat for us? Frost claw build

Besides Res

[safe grail]

armor and ward

[old vine]

I’m up to over 10k ward on bosses. Is crit avoidance worth it or nah

[safe grail]

yes. you should try to max it out as you min-max your gear

remember RM gets like 48% thru passives so

[old vine]

Cool ty

[safe grail]

yep

[royal gull]

I'm a bit torn right now between whether to make Frost Wall cast Lightning Blast or Runebolt

If I go Runebolt then I have a free skill slot opened up since right now I was using both

I think this is probably the right move

A big problem I'm seeing is that with Rune Master coming out last, it has backward compatibility with the previous 2 specs, but those specs don't have forward compat with it

So it feels to me at least like Rune just has an incredibly larger design space to work with than the other classes

[signal oak]

Far out this RM Nova Frost Claw is melting my 4090 🥲

Some maps turn into a massive stuttery mess

[calm quartz]

anyone know why I wouldnt be able to seal a tier 1 flame ward affix

nvm im an idiot

[safe grail]

were you using runebolt to generate mana?

[stiff crown]

Kinda sucks that I can't use both Runic to teleport and Flame Rush without one putting the other on cooldown

[safe grail]

yo since when is 20% missing health gained as ward possible on gloves?

there's a dude that dropped a screenshot in the showcase

[stiff crown]

T7

Experiment

[safe grail]

omg.

that's TURBO lucky jesus

[stiff crown]

Don't skip the exiled mages

[safe grail]

i dont

[royal gull]

So the idea is you use Flame Rush primarily and go past your Frost Wall to get a huge explosion since it has the shorter cd anyways, and Runic Invocation is really there as a get out of bad situations bug out button since you can't be hit while using it

[safe grail]

lol

[royal gull]

Flame Rush leaves you vulnerable if you're surrounded, you'll get stunned before you can travel away

[stiff crown]

Nah, I just mean in general. Like if I'm already dedicating 1 of my 5 available slots on my skill bar, I should be able to use it even if I have 2 movement skills

[royal gull]

The point in having Invocation on your bar is all the buffs you can give it like double casting your desired 3 rune spell

You double your dps from your Invocs while also getting a good travel skill

[stiff crown]

I get it, but that's not what I'm talking about, lol

[royal gull]

I'm not sure I get what you mean then, the whole reason I turned it to the traversal version is because I was already hard casting so many other spells

Meanwhile I was getting the double-cast effect from it from auto-cast source

[stiff crown]

I'm not telling you to change anything. I'm just saying I wish the game lets you use more than one traversal skill without putting both on cooldown when you use one

[hardy loom]

u mean unoptimized, my 3080ti shows 30% gpu usage but i can still get those stuttery mess ,

[hardy loom]

its a nice theoretical situation, but in reality a few spell cast the mobs in my screen die

[royal gull]

I'm not that OP yet 🙂

[signal oak]

Is the graphics card being leveraged to do all the client-side math in game or soemthing

[hardy loom]

u dont need to be op

the class itself is op

[stiff crown]

RM start OP

[hardy loom]

of all the classes i played (except sentinel) rm is probably the one i least worried about getting hit

even at very basic level of gearing

[hardy loom]

discount the first 5 levels

those are atrocious

😭

[stiff crown]

What I meant to say is that RM players start at S+ tier

[hardy loom]

yeah

[royal gull]

I'm at level 50 and I'm still at a point where before I have been in combat long enough to cast some spells and generate Ward, I can be killed in under 2 seconds by ranged or fast melee that I didn't get the first hit on

I don't feel underpowered, but I do feel like Flame Rush alone won't save me from a positioning mistake

[stiff crown]

.

[hardy loom]

well... i never felt that way

[royal gull]

I've tried to Flame Rush away only to get stunned immediately and killed

[safe grail]

My friend @stiff crown would like to tell you something.

[hardy loom]

im curious what ur current stats are

probably 0% phys res

[stiff crown]

🐸

[royal gull]

Pretty low yeah!

[hardy loom]

😂

fix that asap

[royal gull]

and I should probably take the node that reduces damage taken while in Flame Rush

[hardy loom]

grab some trash vendor gear and craft phys res on it

[safe grail]

resists are for F-tier players

s-tier players rely on dual-traversals and 65k ward

[hardy loom]

👀

[royal gull]

I'm in the middle of buying Rift Wizard 2 right now hold on

[hardy loom]

thats what im doing rn

[royal gull]

Wizards unite

[hardy loom]

0% phys res vs 75% is day and night difference

[royal gull]

I will do that, thank you

[stiff crown]

1212 Orobyss kill https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6kQYtXg79Y&ab_channel=Kurii

[carmine bluff]

Where is the huge damage of static orb come from? Is it an explosion, or tendrils from explosion, or the initial otb damage itself?

[neon lynx]

excuse me sir, i noticed you are missing lightning blast from your build. do you have a moment to talk about our savior jabbachrist?

[royal gull]

Sorry didn't mean to ignore you, that was the idea at one point, I'll probably need 4/4 in Arcane Restoration to go ahead with this build change (I just made them explode, which is so cool and I love it)

[stiff crown]

Only if you gift me a Honda

[neon lynx]

🤝

[turbid quail]

does julra also double the slammed affixes?

[dusk grail]

If anyone wants a build they havent seen tested out Im testing stuff out in offline mode and I like to see unique builds so just send a build planner and ill test it out for you (Can be BiS or not BiS)

[left tundra]

yes

[turbid quail]

thanks

guess i'll settle for julra for my forstbite build since lp1 ocearon is too expensive.

[royal gull]

There are some things I super duper do not understand, like why are you allowed to put 8 points in reducing the cast speed of Snap Freeze, a spell with a 15 second cooldown @_@

Some of these skills already need reworks and the game just came out 😦

[hollow arrow]

lotta these skills were already in the game for years lol

[hardy loom]

u can also use snowdrift boots then simply use any T6/T7 freeziinig multi rings no?

[royal gull]

What does "Increased Area per Uncapped Resistance" mean?

[hardy loom]

if u have 50% resistance

u have 50% increased area

same as 200% , 300%

[royal gull]

So for Wrecking Ball, with Frost bolts, every 1% Frost Resist I have is +1% AoE to the explosion from Devastator?

[rotund steeple]

Im trying to complete the monoliths on a new character again to unlock corrupt, os it faster to skip tge enemies and knock out objectives or to kill all enemies for stability

[hardy loom]

is that the set?

[royal gull]

That is a path with Runebolt

Wrecking Ball is the last passive after Devastator, which is what makes Runebolts explode in an AoE

[hardy loom]

i dont use that skill but the general concept is the same

[royal gull]

Another example, Flame Rush and Blazing Flux says "Double Effect with 150% Uncapped Fire Res" literally just means with 150% Fire Res?

But we're capped at 75%, so it says Uncapped

[hardy loom]

yes simply just means 150%

[turbid quail]

it's more for the ward + ward per mana. since I feel like facetanking kills faster than more damage but having to dodge stuff.

[hardy loom]

oh... i never had to dodge on rm

disgusting ward gen anyways

[royal gull]

And enemies penetrate elemental resist by 1% per level of the area, so level 75 enemies reduce your resistance to -75% anyways? So if you had 150% then you'd be capped again? But you'd need 175% to be capped in level 100 areas?

[hardy loom]

but dont get me wrong, ocearon is a good scaling dmg but julra... no

[hardy loom]

75% is cap

[royal gull]

So you can't go past 75%, so at level 100 areas you just always take +25% more elemental damage?

[hardy loom]

well some mobs debuffs ur resis by 25% iirc, but generally just 75% all is enough

[hardy loom]

at this point, i suggest dont bother thinking much about this

[turbid quail]

Yea, i'ts just a placeholder til I can afford to gamble on lp1 ocearons.

[hardy loom]

just know that 75% all res

thats all

[hardy loom]

GL

personally i would upgrade to luxuries like ocearons once i hit a wall which might be 1k or higher corruption

rm in fc anything is strong af anyways

😆

[turbid quail]

Got lucky and got them done in 2 runs lmao.
https://paste.pics/QM6BU

[hardy loom]

lmao

insane

[royal gull]

Does Snapshotting work in this game? Like if I cast Glacier to get the Rime buff for +100% damage over time, do I have to cast that BEFORE I cast Blizzard or will Blizzard just start doing double damage?

Or Frost Wall for example

Casting before Glacier means I miss the buff bonus?

[hardy loom]

damn down to the mechanical details

while that could be easily tested in training dummy in arena, im too lazy

[hardy loom]

skills like these with such high cast speed, would make stuff like snapshot pointless

[steel magnet]

Actually got a +4 to fc relic and didn't realize it until I changed to a diff build xD

[royal gull]

I forgot there is a training dummy, what area is that in?

also yeah.. I tried to fight Lagon with uncapped resistance to phys, cold, lightning and it was just painful

Finally broke into my crafting mats to trivialize him 😛

[hardy loom]

i cant rmb but its the 2nd tab of map, at the top side, snowy area

[brave barn]

are there any endgame runemaster builds that actually make use of separate Runic Invocation abilities?

[royal gull]

You mean like a tri or a dual element build?

I imagine you could make some fun ones for sure if you had a mind to, I just wanted to go pure Frost on some kind of Mage as my first

[brave barn]

more just anything that doesn't use just 1 combo for runic invocation

every build i'm seeing does a 1 trick pony thing

[royal gull]

Well that is the nature of these games, you tend to hyper-focus your build and gear towards 1 skill to get the most damage out of it
