I'm trying to avoid that slightly, by comboing my main skills
brave barn
but in this case it's just 1 combo out of 1 skill, which is sad, because the skill itself is super cool
royal gull
Like skill x casts skill y and is buffed by skill z
In the end I don't care about non-Cold damage so I'm still aiming for Blizzard as my main Invoc

royal gull
The problem also comes with stat scaling @brave barn
Damage over time in LE cannot critically hit, so increases to damage over time and increases to critical chance / dmg are mutually exclusive to build around
Blizzard has no hit component so I have to build for DoT, and the 1 and 2 runes of Heo are both "on hit" spells
brave barn
yeah, i realize that, basically a facet of any/all ARPGs
royal gull
So they just won't scale with my build even if I wanted to cast them
turbid quail
ele dmg over time rolls way higher than any dmg mod, so it kinda makes up for it.
royal gull
ele dmg over time rolls way higher than any dmg mod, so it kinda makes up for it...
Yeah that isn't the issue, I was just explaining how even within a single element I'm pigeon holed even further
There isn't even like a "you expose your enemy to x% more dmg over time after a critical hit" type of thing
brave barn
was just hoping there was some cool unique like, "Every unique invocation you cast grants you X% increased damage for 30 seconds, up to 10 stacks"
royal gull
There are invocation mechanics that do center on that

dota 2 invoker players would love this.
royal gull
The other thing to keep in mind when you're looking up guides is that guides are written for people who are lazy as f and don't want to think / commit complicated rotations to memory
I'm sure there are viable builds that don't focus on a single invocation
You just won't see many guides about it
I would love to get into that type of build next, I just have a preference for Cold builds when I can make them
I'll probably do a Lightning hybrid next to use Glyph of Dominion since it is the only Runemaster skill I can't combo as Cold
Also just because someone writes a guide doesn't mean they know what they're doing, I saw a YT video talking about a build that uses Lightning Blast with Frost Wall's autoshots nodes and having actually tried this it feels like complete garbage compared to Runebolt
Probably because Lightning Blast is one of the oldest skills in the entire game if I had to guess
So it has a messy tree that doesn't work all that great with Frost Wall imo
Meanwhile Runebolt can be out here inflicting Frostbite every hit in an AoE explosion 😛
Freezing Point 7/10 (may as well max it though) converts Armour Shred to Frostbite, and Runebolt can reach 100% Armour Shred with 5 points on the way to Devastator which is a sick as hell node anyways
The only thing I'm unaware of is if Runebolt can shotgun when triple spread if you have Devastator
Normally it doesn't seem to
Maybe I'm wrong about that, hard to say, I need to find those target dummies
pale jungle
is the howling rift node on frostwall bugged? it doesn't move the frostwall
royal gull
You have to cast it again before half of the duration has ended
hollow arrow
dummies are at the arena
click on arena key and it'll show you where it's at, then you can port to closest portal
royal gull
It does move, and it isn't great because that is all it does, it doesn't rotate
royal gull
click on arena key and it'll show you where it's at, then you can port to closes...
Thank you
royal gull
is the howling rift node on frostwall bugged? it doesn't move the frostwall
I was trying to make long lasting Frostwall build work for me and in the end I found it more annoying than useful, which is another win for Runebolt if you want your wall to cast other things for you
pale jungle
I am trying to cast it again, it only places the 1 and I can't move it by recasting
royal gull
So you have 1/1 in Howling Rift and you cast it twice without a delay?
If you wait longer than 3 seconds by default it won't move
If you increase the duration of Frost Wall you can wait a little longer than 3 seconds, but not much
dusk grail
Anyone want a build that they dont know will work tested or just a BiS build? Im testing builds offline rn and can test anything just send build planner and ill send a clip of its dps or something.
royal gull
Like if you increased Frostwall duration by 50% then it lasts 9 seconds, but it will only move in the first 4.5 seconds still
pale jungle
im recasting it right away
royal gull
I don't think you can move it more than once, are you just never seeing it move at all, ever?
I gave up that path a while ago or I'd test this for you, but when I had it earlier today it moved
royal gull
Ooooh, yeah you couldn't recast it with a cooldown, that makes sense
Not gonna lie that node seems pretty awful too
royal gull
Ahhh ok
I would avoid that and the Charged Pylons nodes unless you have a solid plan and good understanding
Wall of Glyphic Art might seem less powerful since it doesn't target things automatically, but Runebolt itself is a super fun spell that you can make powerful
pale jungle
it's a plasma orb build using runebolt
royal gull
Ah I see, yeah I couldn't help you there

Hi, I'm trying to understand frostbite runemaster. Why is it a priority so stack so many rolls of chance to apply frostbite on hit? I have a bunch of rolls already (shackles, snowdrift, helm, ice vial), and I see the number stack go up fast enough. Trying to decide what t7 roll to get on chest. Is it better to invest in other stats like freeze rate?
hardy loom
Hi, I'm trying to understand frostbite runemaster. Why is it a priority so stack...
frostbite is ur main dmg , every 100% u stack 1. 200% stack 2...prioritize freezing as the main dmg scaling comes from cold pen on snowdrift, get frostbite cold pen on affixes (i think armor have it?)
rotund steeple
Im running unstable core
hardy loom
freeze rate per chill is also good option
hardy loom
Hi, I'm trying to understand frostbite runemaster. Why is it a priority so stack...
needs to reach 999stack then after that is how fast and also stacking cold pen for frostbite
glad island
frostbite is ur main dmg , every 100% u stack 1. 200% stack 2...prioritize freez...
ohh so thats how it works, thanks!
earnest marten
frostbite is ur main dmg , every 100% u stack 1. 200% stack 2...prioritize freez...
Is it better to only cap 100 pen/ 500 freezerate? How pen works beyond 100?
hardy loom
the sky is the limit
only a few armor piece allows for frostbite cold pen affixes
the rest just freeze multi
earnest marten
Yea i mean for snowdrift esp, so freezerate is better than ele dot for frostbite snowdrift build?
stoic lily
Hello! Just a question, for FC RM, why is heart mandatory in the build?
hardy loom
Yea i mean for snowdrift esp, so freezerate is better than ele dot for frostbite...
i believe u can get both
both freeze multiplier + ele dot
hardy loom
Hello! Just a question, for FC RM, why is heart mandatory in the build?
its another source of ward gen + cast speed + strength for armor + big hp%
earnest marten
i believe u can get both
Yea, but if theres a choice, which is better?
stoic lily
its another source of ward gen + cast speed + strength for armor + big hp%
Got it, thats why. But until you dont have FC on heart, its not preferable to FC relic right?
hardy loom
Yea, but if theres a choice, which is better?
this is hard to answer but ill take whichever comes in T7 first
but every piece of gear should fit in freeze multiplier
hardy loom
Got it, thats why. But until you dont have FC on heart, its not preferable to FC...
nah

this is hard to answer but ill take whichever comes in T7 first
Cheers, recently got this situation and i dont believe the tooltip lol

if me: sell
i want the gold to play more builds more classes
but if you are a single main type of guy then u have ur answer
craggy bramble
Cheers, recently got this situation and i dont believe the tooltip lol
Freeze rate benefits both offense and defense, while ele dam is purely offensive
stoic lily
if me: sell
Im also thinking that it can fund my other upgrades, and yeah I also have a falconer I wanna build haha
hardy loom
its not super necessary to use heart anyways
u still gen sht tons of ward
if u wann go the next level then yea
stoic lily
Got it thank you! Will sell the heart, then just try a bunch of 1LP slams

I got a suggestion for change to sorcerer passives, to give the class some more power and make the high cost skills better when used on a sorcerer. Changing the passive Elixer of Knowledge that gives ward per intelligence on potion use, to giving mana per intelligence on potion use. That would turn potions into a mana source for sorcerer, enabling limited spamming of high cost skills.
safe grail
sup dudes
topaz spade
sup, do anybody use Focus? imo its the most useless spell in game 😄
safe grail
it's not useless, some sorc builds and disintegrate use it
its just terribly designed
topaz spade
i mean, its not useless but in compansion with any other mage skill, its useless 😄
safe grail
design wise making focus coulda been easy by just allowing you to regen mana while moving at the cost of dmg
full bluff
I use focus in a static orb, orbiting orbs build, regen mana with it while the orbs spin
topaz spade
interesting
full bluff
The gameplay flow is pretty good, teleport, spin up orbs, focus, repeat
or use focus as teleport
if anyone played D4 sorcerer, it works in the same way
haven't played that build in over a year, going to try it again 🙂
suspect the damage is low
safe grail
very likely yeah
hollow arrow
sucks that flame rush has more utility for doing debuffs for bosses, but sucks as traversal
would rather use teleport lol
topaz spade
yea i was using teleport, it better traversal but since i chaged my build a bit, flame rush is a must
safe grail
ohhhhhhhhhhh boy. I just saw a clip from the recent LE Dev stream where he said and I quote
"Generally, we consider most builds successful if they can handle in the like 300-corruption range. We also don't have a nerf line where we say "Hey this corruption is too high we're going to nerf this now." I think if you start seeing 4-digit corruption numbers, that's probably something we made a mistake on."
full bluff
Which skills are you playing? frost claw?
full bluff
sparks?
Just trying to guess at what will be nerfed or buffed 🙂
They tried to nerf frost claw in 1.0, but buffed it instead
stiff crown
I think a 1000 should be a good target. Need to buff a lot of stuff
topaz spade
Yep sparks. Frost claw is waaaay more OP
stiff crown
300 is too fast to get to
safe grail
it just blows my mind that the baseline is 300 when most non-meta builds can still get there almost and then not push higher
like that's the cap for some non-meta.
safe grail
re-read what i said tho
like if you want to push higher w/ a homebrew
you wont be able to
sturdy summit
yeah, but it sounds like they don't expect people to be able to push higher
safe grail
this is what makes most content creators cringelords imo
full bluff
Many skills are hard to push with even if you optimize them with gear
topaz spade
300 should be ok with every build. Every one should get a chance to get better loot
safe grail
Imagine getting to 300 corruption on a build w/ the thought you're gonna push to like 1k-1.5k and then you can barely scrape higher than 350-400
sturdy summit
the way I understand that dev quote from above is everyone should be able to get as far as 300, and no one should get above 1000. 300-1000 range is optional.
safe grail
but you're seeing builds easily push 1.5-2k
safe grail
the way I understand that dev quote from above is everyone should be able to get...
ideally yeah.
full bluff
they will have quite a challenge with this new boss system, balance it around 300 corruption power levels and it will be way too easy for many builds
full bluff
unless the system has corruption too
safe grail
like when you do the early norm monos
it should slowly scale up to 100 until you get to the lvl 90s
sturdy summit
it does, but everyone skips it and rushes empowered asap 🤣
sturdy summit
so you think the second monolith should just jump corruption without doing oro?
safe grail
yep
and then when you get to empowered
it should START at 300
because if your build is to go any further
that's what you need to know right off rip
if we're gonna power creep, gotta do it right
sturdy summit
in that case, you shouldn't reach empowered until close to level 100
safe grail
t6 exalteds drop more in the 85-90 early monos
yes
you shouldnt step into emp until like 85-90 imo
not close to 100 cause they also dont know how to like
balance lvl 90-100
lmao
they even said they wanna make it slower
so no
sturdy summit
well, 85-90 is what people are doing already. But if corruption starts earlier, then you have to make normals a lot longer, not just rush empowered
sturdy summit
yeah, but you're not an average player
safe grail
fair
stiff crown
I feel like my perception on this is skewed because I played a carried class
full bluff
When I first started playing I spent a lot of time in normal corruption, level 90 monos
Gearing and learning the game
full bluff
First time arond I stopped before empowered
safe grail
i think the game just needs to truly scale that because rn, if the devs are saying baseline is 300, then that needs to be the baseline
sturdy summit
me too. My first playthrough, I thought I should grind normals until I get to 90 before starting level 90 monos. Because, you know, that's what level 90 means.
safe grail
1-1.5k should be where it caps out
stiff crown
I wouldn't mind if the devs baseline is 1000c though. Stretch it out a tad
safe grail
and you lower all power from there
hollow arrow
i was hitting monos at my level when i started lol
once i completed them all i found out about empowered
safe grail
have t6s drop more in the higher normal monos
hollow arrow
hollow arrow
oh this belt didnt roll bad
safe grail
dunno what the true answer is but
hollow arrow
potion into ward, lightning dmg, armor/reduced crit, hp regen
safe grail
i dont wanna play cycle to cycle and the best mage spec be FC insert modifier here
hardy loom
I went in monos at lvl36, guess the build
safe grail
FC (insert flavor here)
hardy loom
Wrong
hollow arrow
IgNITE FC
full bluff
I don't really care where the baseline is, just want more of the skills and passives to add useful things, that I can combine into build. To make my characters more varied 🙂
safe grail
I don't really care where the baseline is, just want more of the skills and pass...
the baseline is important tho
hardy loom
Meh
sturdy summit
^ give fireball a way to proc something
safe grail
because if they use that baseline appropriately then ALL skills and passives will be brought up
full bluff
yes, just put it somewhere, 300 or 1000, just a relative point
but my impression is that they keep moving the basline and corruption levers up and down, but never work on the actual skills much
safe grail
that's all im saying cause i want the same
if they set a design principle, they need to really figure it out asap
full bluff
The design principle seems to be "listen to the community"
or listen to the loudest people as I call it at work

hard orbit
small question for endgame builds that involve frostclaw:
why do we care about less damage over time if we can insta clear all ailments with frostclaw spam?
stiff crown
Does stuff on the ground that hurt you while you’re stepping in it count as damage over time?
hard orbit
oh... uuuuh no idea, I thought it was mainly ailments
safe grail
lots of theorycrafting later (as is with seasonal ARPGs) folks are starting to realize you don't need more than +3 extra skills to FC for FC Nova-Charge to work correctly
lol
you become mostly mana neutral/mana positive around that point, so unless you wanted to say min-max elsewhere, a t7 int slam is perfectly acceptable now

alot better than maxtroll
seriously. Anything you put together is better than that crap
sturdy summit

most ofthe ones that do only show like corr 200
but then go " build can do corr 1000+ "
Then show it.

my guide explicitly says it's not intended to take you above 300 corruption
it's supposed to be an introduction
and I want it to contain all the introductory material someone needs to know
pearl tangle
so i noticed on a guide it has you using +double crit if over 300 mana but all the "bis" gear examples doesn't even put you close to 300 max mana. is there a passive im missing or some loophole about that affix? or is the guide just bad lmao

I think the biggest portion of the playerbase that needs guides will be better served by advice on how to make the transition from normals to empowered. But having good endgame guides for advanced players is valuable too.

if I understood correctly, armor shred is not as effective for non physical damage?

in a sense. armor is 75% effective against nonphysical
since it's not as good, shredding it isn't as good

I think maxroll is fine as a starter as long as you understand that it’s usually crude and unpolished. Like it’ll get you to monoliths but that’s not really a tall task in of itself and you don’t really need a guide for that. IMO

The frostbite leveling guide for runemasters was so bad on release that I was people just give up the class when trying it.

Ngl, I used the Mana Strike guide on maxroll when I started day 1 because I had no idea what I was doing and was too lazy to figure it out on my own. I didn’t even want to play this game but my wife would have gotten mad at me if I didn’t play it with her. Then as I got better at the game and started to understand it better, I realized how bad the guide I was following is.

on runic invocation, does copied scrolls node (the one that says you have a chance to repeat runic invocation) allow you to cast the runic invocation more than twice?

The ward gain stacks, however the damage reduction doesn't. Worth it for the ward gain

I know you get the immediate ward gain twice. And it FEELS like you get the over-time ward gain twice you but hard to test to make sure

frostguard doesn't give as much ward as flame ward

okay

it's 100 + 3 per int, so it only catches up to flame ward at 100 int

The on demand DR is nice though. But I'm a lazy boi
Because I'm out of room on my skill bar
sturdy summit
flame ward is useful, but between it and frostguard, I'll definitely pick frostguard
I like the idea of flame ward as a dps cooldown you blow during a burst window, but they should change it to more damage instead of increased damage
and adjust the values
hard orbit
I meaaaan both cooldowns are amazing for the dr mostly, rather than the flat ward gain (at least on empowered mono bosses) the ward is nice when mapping for sure, dont get me wrong

Run both if you can. I just can't on my build without sacrificing a lot
When I run it, I usually just numlock it down, lol

what does ocearon drop from ?
sturdy summit
world drop
sturdy summit
it says reroll chance: 85%
I've seen reroll chance a lot in letools, but not sure how it works
unborn hamlet
basically what it means is
if u drop it, the game then rolls a RNG wheel again to decide if u get it or get something else instead
so even if u land Ocearon, u got 85% chance of it rerolling into something esle, or thats how it was explained to me
if thats true no idea
sturdy summit
does that mean that everything starts out having an equal chance to drop, and it becomes rare only because it's rerolled?
that sounds like a weird way to do it
I guess it makes it easier to add new items
you don't have to constantly be changing the weights of everything

specifically, increased elemental damage over time. not regular damage over time.
regular damage over time is the same as cold, so take cold instead

well all increased damage will be added together before being applied, so all of those should be largely equivalent. Int gives less damage but has other benefits. Elemental damage over time affixes do roll higher than other affixes though, so that's something to look out for. Importantly, elemental damage (not over time) rolls lower than other affixes though, so you should avoid that. I also think the only black hole build I've ever seen used the ignite nodes and scaled ignites, so thats maybe something to look into

I've been following this build with my other character and it's all lightning, I don't know why that black hole does 100k dmg

I thought it was because of the int, but i'm getting int on this new character and not getting damage, that's the reason for the previous question

black hole casts meteor on this build
ember charm
so the damage shows on the black hole skill?
proper hawk
oh wait i think i misunderstood the question
sturdy summit
the original question is which stat is best to stack. The simple answer is the one we gave, elemental damage over time has the biggest increases to damage. But this looks like it requires a more complex answer.
back to the simple answer: what I mean is that the more specialized a stat, the better the numbers it will roll on an affix
ember charm
If that build is pure lightning and black does not have anything that scales with lightning damage, then I don't know what is giving it that dmg
proper hawk
so the damage shows on the black hole skill?
nah, it doesnt I misunderstood the question, in this case the flat lightning damage per intelligence should be getting added to the black hole's dot, causing it to do lightning damage as well
sturdy summit
the set bonus is +1 Spell Lightning Damage. Black Hole is a Spell Dot, so it gets flat spell damage... right?
so the flat spell damage is making it deal lightning damage
proper hawk
If that build is pure lightning and black does not have anything that scales wit...
the skill's base damage is cold damage, but that doesnt mean you can't add other types
if you add generic spell damage, it will always match the base damage, but typed damage stays that type
sturdy summit
unlike increased damage, where it needs to match all the types
flat damage only needs to match the, uh... method. not the element

there's increased damage over time, and increased elemental damage over time. But I think you want to stack int for this build.
proper hawk
okay then, I'll look for cold DoT and it will do dmg
if you are following that build you linked above though, this isn't what you want, since its not trying to scale the damage of black hole directly
sturdy summit
your set bonus scales with int
take a look at the staff or helm's set bonus
that's your main source of damage
imo
ember charm
I know, I followed with another character and saw that black hole did 100k dmg and didn't understand what exactly was giving it the damage
sturdy summit
yep, that's the set bonus
proper hawk
ooooh ok two different builds got it, sorry
ember charm
+70 spell lightning damage isn't too high, right?
sturdy summit
it gets multiplied by all your increased and more damage
ember charm
idk what are the expected damage output here
sturdy summit
flat damage means all those multiplications give you more
proper hawk
+70 spell lightning damage isn't too high, right?
if thats from vilatria set, that sounds a little low tbh, you get high value from int on that setup
ember charm
I counted the int bonus
proper hawk
depends on your level too i suppose
but yeah with the vilatria set you want to push int fairly high
ember charm
then Cold Dot < spell cold damage + increased cold damage?
sturdy summit
with a set helm, you can't slam int on it, but even then, you can expect to have more than 100 int for endgame
elemental dot. cold dot doesn't exist
ember charm
true sry
proper hawk
then Cold Dot < spell cold damage + increased cold damage?
well you would want spell cold damage + ele dot
ember charm
ele dot increases with spell cold damage?
sturdy summit
black hole is both dot and spell
proper hawk
its a damage over time spell, so it gets base damage from flat added spell damage, and that damage is both elemental and a dot so its increased by "increased elemental damage over time"
