[hollow arrow]

so i can try to get a FC/int slam

[violet lily]

Is there nothing that increases mana regen by a flat amount?

[warped crow]

there is nothing

sadly

they should really change wisdom threshold passive to that

make it like 1 base mana regen per 200 mana

or something

[hollow arrow]

hmmmm

tiem to slam some stuff

lets see how we do

AY

spell crit on omnis

[lime birch]

[barren pawn]

[white cedar]

arpg communities by far the most toxic

moba players are toxic in game, arpg players are toxic everywhere

[warped crow]

true

[hollow arrow]

i dont talk much except here or maybe sentinel channel

i use another server for LE chats and that ones not as toxic lol

No prefixes so it can be adjusted for any offense type

mostly

[neon lynx]

Nice

[glad island]

what's max cold pen? 75%? I assume snowdrift achieves this easily right due to if you have over 2000% freeze rate?

[hollow arrow]

75% yeah

2% per 10% freeze so

wouldn't need that much to cap it lol

[glad island]

thx

[white cedar]

np!

[white cedar]

wait i just realized, assuming youre playing solo and have the ability to press your flame ward keybind, prepared wards is literally useless now right?

[robust junco]

There is no cap on penetration

You can stack as much pen as you want

[verbal compass]

Just wondering if anyone else is having mana issues since the 1.0.5 patch dropped. Haven't changed my build, and am constantly running out of mana now, where before it rarely happened. It also shows all my resistances and mana and mana Regen as negative numbers on my character screen, never seen that before. Just started doing Empowered Monoliths so maybe it's because of that? Just curious if anyone else is having this issue. Thanks y'all.

[hard orbit]

probably already checked it but did you reequip any items that were giving you points in skills and then allocated them wrongly?

[royal gull]

What is the difference between Regional and Greater Lenses?

[trim depot]

ups nevermind

Hey, I'm just a lucky man and as a COF Player I found yesterday a 4LP Mad Alchemist. ATM I play Frostclaw and I have a Warlock, but mainly playing the Runemaster. So what would be the best exalted?
T7 CastSpeed and T5 Multi?
T7 Multi and T5 Cast?
What Suffix should I aim for?

[strange flicker]

cast speed t7/multi t5/lightning pen if ur spark charge build

[hard orbit]

well, greater can go to any telescope, the regional ones are for specific telescopes each

[royal gull]

Ooooh, yeah that makes sense I suppose

These last 3 timelines really take some grinding to finish

[trim depot]

So T7 Cast Speed will be better than T7 Multi?

[hardy loom]

u can ask a friend to bring u to those 3 timelines and u instantly unlock enhanced mono

[strange flicker]

yes, cast speed is king

[hard orbit]

yup

[strange flicker]

u run it on offhand too

t7

only time u wouldnt run cast speed is maybe if ur a cold frostclaw build that doesnt use spark charges

[trim depot]

Okay thx I had a pretty good T7 Multi and T5 cast, but will farm than a T7 Cast speed

[strange flicker]

then u would maybe use t5

its not a big deal between the 2 its just nicer to have

[trim depot]

I cross referenced with other build, so I can use this "godly Item" for other buidls like Warlock or maybe some Paladin builds

[strange flicker]

maybe you can run double pen for the suffix if u want to use it with some specific warlock damage type too

since the 4th wont matter 2 much

[trim depot]

Maybe armour shred ?

[strange flicker]

no armor shred for weapon suffix

[trim depot]

ah okay didnt checked that okay

[strange flicker]

ur choices are penetrations or chance for debuffs

if you want all in on claw maybe chance to shock

[trim depot]

So penetration would be lightning for 3rd slot and 4 would be random I think

[safe grail]

you'd still get cast speed cause you're gonna be playing frostbite or crit

[strange flicker]

na theres builds where you dont want too much cast speed or you'll be outa mana at certain points

non frostbite

[safe grail]

nah like 9/10 you're gonna have enough points in a cold build to get plenty of mana nodes in the tree

[strange flicker]

but u dont want to get them ideally

cause its dmg loss

[safe grail]

i can argue the opposite side rq

cast speed makes up for it

HOWEVER

FC as just a pure aoe skill

is kinda bad

so i can see your point

[strange flicker]

fc skill has alota rly good nodes

[safe grail]

and they are spread tf apart lmao

[strange flicker]

even for my lightning spark charge build

i try to run almost no mana nodes outside of the rng one

LOL

its alot of dmg increase

its just that u have to change ur whole build to make it work

[safe grail]

i rly wanted dragorath's claw to work on RM to do a version of CoC i had in mind but

it's just kinda dog. works better on sorc

but yeah

[strange flicker]

thers probably a build that works for that btw its p similar to mine but i cant be bothered cooking w the dagger

u can probably run nova+ lightning blast

and claw w dagger

and just use the lightning blast procs for dmg boost/aegis uptime mostly

[safe grail]

there's plenty of these builds around

i just CBA tryna make it work for RM

when ik it works for sorc lol

that's all

[strange flicker]

rm prob better w it though rite

rm tree busted

LOL

[safe grail]

nah. i'd argue for sorc using drag's

cause they can just put on meteor

and TP into a free meteor and get free mana regen

based on meteors mana cost

like you can turn meteor into a 150 cost, TP, and get like half of it back as mana regen for 3 seconds

so if you stack cast speed you're big chillin

[strange flicker]

meteor just seems like a pain the ass in general to use outside of bossing

no matter how hard it hits

[safe grail]

it's actually not that bad

[strange flicker]

its like a scuffed spark charge

[safe grail]

it's a more actively playstyle for sure

but

didnt really mind it tbch

[strange flicker]

and not having runic invo is pain

[safe grail]

yeah that's a bit of a pain for sure

cause then you need to like

kinda circle around ways to get ward meaningfully

[strange flicker]

that skill is so insane and versatile

can open so many extra skill slots

[safe grail]

which is why it's probably gonna get tuned down

lol

[strange flicker]

by just playing around w the tree

[safe grail]

cus 99% of us are just playing invo for frostguard

[strange flicker]

even w/o that tbh

[safe grail]

yes

even w/o it

truth

[strange flicker]

like am running claw w manual invo

its harder to play but

[safe grail]

No i mean like

[strange flicker]

skill is insane

[safe grail]

we are all using invo

in general

[strange flicker]

yea

[safe grail]

w/ or w/o immutable

but only for like one invocation

[strange flicker]

i mean its basically standard for any rm doe

[safe grail]

and that's frostguard

[strange flicker]

so expected

[safe grail]

i'm more arguing frostguard is unhealthy

than invo is

but also they need to bring up all of invos skills

cause most of em are dogsht

[strange flicker]

its okay plenty of busted stuff to go around with rm

they nerf frostguard theres 10 diff things u can do

LOL

same w sparkcharge they can nerf that and rm has a buncha diff builds that are just as good

[vernal finch]

finally got red ring after using 20 rune ascend

[safe grail]

wtf

only 20?

jfc

you hit the lotto lmao

[strange flicker]

i havnt seen a red ring and i been grinding corr like a madman

[safe grail]

yeah

[vernal finch]

but bad stat, 4 all stat, 17 resist

[strange flicker]

not that i wud use it even

[safe grail]

ive burnt like 200-300 ascend

all on rings after i got enigma and sht

and nothing

[strange flicker]

julra better anyways kek

goated

[crimson raft]

On cof marked rings too for the refund?

[vernal finch]

yeah i was wondering if i use cof for find red ring, would i be able to use it on my merchant

luckly i got this one on merchant

[crimson raft]

no

[unborn hamlet]

You can't

[safe grail]

yeah def not. if you had used the ascend ability

you wouldnt be able to

[unborn hamlet]

Which I don't understand but W/e

[safe grail]

it's because they are using the ability proc

to not eat a rune of ascend

so when it ascends, it cof tags it

[unborn hamlet]

If you have the requirements you should be able to just wear it no matter what side you're on

[crimson raft]

Nope 100% disagree.

[safe grail]

yea hard disagree w/ that one

[strange flicker]

ppl would just do all their runes on cof

merch already aids as it is i wonder what tehy gonna do next cycle

[unborn hamlet]

I see no issue with that, I just hope they will remake CoF perks

We really need help with boss drops

[safe grail]

yeah i think there's def some QOL for both sides

[strange flicker]

i mean cof is scuffed with boss drops

[safe grail]

but one thing they HAVE to control

[crimson raft]

No, people are just spoiled and want OP godly gear without grinding for it.

[safe grail]

is they need to market cap things for a bit

[strange flicker]

merch is scuffed cause no1 puts up any insane items

cause the gold cap isnt even enough

LOL

for putting the prices

[unborn hamlet]

How?

Wdym grind

[strange flicker]

cause 1.5bil isnt enuff

no1 puts 4lp

cause 1.5b is 2 low

[vernal finch]

im kinda jelaous with my COF friend, he got all his gear slot 3-4 LP he self found, and he only got like 100 hours playtime

[strange flicker]

and thats max u can put it up as

[safe grail]

we shouldnt even be getting to 1.5b this early.

[unborn hamlet]

I have almost 200 frost lich kills and I only seen 7 shackles all together, mind you I'm 700+ cor on that timeline

[safe grail]

is the primary problem.

[strange flicker]

ya but rmt

[crimson raft]

You said We need help with boss drops. I don't see it. Just grind more.

[strange flicker]

my pres helm i bought for 60m not even a week later

went to 500m

prices just went insane

LOL

eveyrhting 10x in a matter of days

[safe grail]

subpar take on a seasonal realm imo.

[unborn hamlet]

You're just delusional if you think playing CoF that's supposed to help you "self find" everything, you don't get any help for boss drops

It's a massive oversight

[safe grail]

you have to understand the type of gaming ecosystem that exists now. the demographic is more about not having their time wasted than "just grind more"

[crimson raft]

I just don't expect a crapton of lp, red rings and ocearons and perfect omnis to drop from the sky

[vernal finch]

idk my friend got plenty 2- 3 LP last boots, maybe he just lucky

[unborn hamlet]

I legit grinded the same timeline for 100h+ before I found 2LP shackles, while on merchant guild I just click twice and have em instantly

[unborn hamlet]

Last steps is a 50/50 drop

Shackles are 5% rare drop

[vernal finch]

im on merchant and i never got any 2 LP from that damn boots lol

all 1 at best

sad

[unborn hamlet]

The thing is

On CoF you play for yourself

At best you can have some other people help you farm specific drop

[strange flicker]

merch u play for the rmters

[unborn hamlet]

While on MG there is 200k other people grinding for items you can buy

[strange flicker]

so u can probably make bank

and as long as ur build isnt

[unborn hamlet]

And we get 0 help for boss drops

[strange flicker]

insane meta

[unborn hamlet]

😂

[strange flicker]

u get geared rly fast

LOL

if ur super meta though

stick to 2lp

and ur guud

theres a huge diff between the 2 at the lowerish end

for gearing

[unborn hamlet]

Nah, my BiS build requires 3 different 3LP super rare drops

And so far I don't have a single one

All 2LP

[strange flicker]

unlucky

dw i have like 1.5k-2k runs on dragon timeline and i havnt seen a single 2lp twisted

[unborn hamlet]

I'm skipping 3LP shackles, that's never gonna happen at this rate

3LP Frozen ire and snowdrifts is much more probable because I can target farm it

With prophecies

[safe grail]

CoF should 100% be seeing items that MG shouldn't. like they should be seeing multiple very rare LP items and boss items consistently.

[unborn hamlet]

Like, 0.065 and 0.027 chance respectively is not that insane if I consider I get like 30+ drops at once

[unborn hamlet]

Exactly

Never got anything insane on CoF

Like the best item I have is probably 1LP omnis

[safe grail]

CoF should also be able to level way faster than MG

[unborn hamlet]

I have couple 4LP laddles but if you consider it's like 3% chance to get one, that's nothing

[vernal finch]

does 1 LP omnis with 2 below 10% resist sell?

[safe grail]

like everything they did this cycle to nerf MG thru CoF just absolutely ruined COF

and then they did nothing about RMT/dupes

lmao

like

it's kind of a meme

[unborn hamlet]

Depends on the resists and the builds that will buy it

[strange flicker]

i mean cant do much w rmt tbh

its just how ppl play now

u can ban the buyers but ppl will still buy

[unborn hamlet]

For me, if it was 10% fire and lightning resists it would be irrelevant to me, might as well not even be a stat on the item cos I have 150% ele res from items

If it was like 10% poison 10% Phys res, then it would be garbage to me

[safe grail]

that's why i said they need to introduce more gold capping on the market

[strange flicker]

the mg prices are pretty scuffed though now, u gotta depend on rng drops purely

[vernal finch]

yeah i remember buying 3 LP syphon ring for my rogue, its like 200k, like early month, also 6 frost claw early month used to be 500-1m

[strange flicker]

cant even farm raw gold

[safe grail]

game is kinda cooked at this point tbch

[unborn hamlet]

I like how MG players cry about duped items

Imagine not knowing about your own best money maker

Lightless arbor

😂

[safe grail]

wrong dupes that im arguing about

dude if blizzard can let dupes thru every season since game launch

EHG is DEFINITELY not privvy enough to it to prevent it

[vernal finch]

are it actually worth to farm there? i spend like 5m, 2 days ago and got nothing......

[safe grail]

yes. it can be profitable.

[unborn hamlet]

Yeah, it's still RNG

But if you drop that 1 insane item

On like a quadruple multiplier

And you get 5 of em

Instant GG

2b in the bank

Seeing the MG prices, even a bad t7 stats still sell for Millions lmao, lightless literally free money printer for yall

[strange flicker]

2bil to spend on nothing for me sadge

any 4lp static shockers

[unborn hamlet]

just get 4LP omnis/shattered belt

And sell it for gold cap

[strange flicker]

bro a 2lp omn

is prob gold cap

at this pt

[unborn hamlet]

Hell, I think even a 3LP one would sell for a gold cap

[strange flicker]

aint noway u putting a 4lp omn up

LOL

[unborn hamlet]

True

[strange flicker]

gotta need to triple that gold cap

[unborn hamlet]

:KekW"

Gold cap for the rest of the game

[strange flicker]

its like ppl who put twisted for gold cap at 3 lp it prob instantly sells now

[abstract bramble]

Nothing to upgrade ehh? 😅😅

[strange flicker]

cause the 2lp good twisted are around there

[safe grail]

honestly if CoF gets any sort of buffs/perks to bossing

i'll likely sit CoF

[strange flicker]

let me show u the godlies item in the game

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

[safe grail]

w8 that is actually cracked tho lmfao

[strange flicker]

15m back in my days

when i sniped it

now prob 3x gold cap

kek

idk what kinda madman would ever list this

[safe grail]

1 that doesnt understand that dots fk

[strange flicker]

any flamethrower enjoyers

now if only there is an item to stop u from getting sniped from africa by those random ass flame circles

[hard orbit]

100% agree

[safe grail]

if u bless the rains

u wont get hit

[strange flicker]

those bow/crossbow dudes already almost delete my ward at this point if i dont have flame ward up

soon gonna be 1 tapped

[stiff crown]

I'm good with the bow guys. The axe throwers are worse, I think. Their projectiles are fast

[strange flicker]

problem is at high enuff corr, those flame bow dudes

hit like a truck

[hard orbit]

HA!

[strange flicker]

esp if its a couple of em

nothing like starting an arena map

and the first spawns are bow dudes

[safe grail]

man i was so hyped to use my rly solidly slammed 1 LP immos belt

but then i realized i cant use it on fkn FC

[strange flicker]

why not?

[safe grail]

FC cleanses ailments on cast

[full bluff]

How important is frailty? Can't find a spot for it in gear

[strange flicker]

oh that would affect it unlucky

[safe grail]

yeah it wipes the ignite stack every cast

[strange flicker]

its p good at certain corruption

ur not running ladle?

[full bluff]

Real sorcerers don't use ladles 🙂

[safe grail]

sorc just str8 hates ladle lol

[strange flicker]

its 18% less dmg

can prob run on necklace

pretty good to have

[safe grail]

neck gloves relic.

oof

[strange flicker]

well relic aint happening

lets be real

[full bluff]

Need 4lp gloves Iguess

[strange flicker]

LOL

unless real sorcs dont run twisted too

[stiff crown]

Need at least T1 somewhere. I have mine on my amulet. You can just seal it

[stiff crown]

This is why I stopped selling things on the market until I need money to buy something. The value of gold shrinks every minute while my items retain their value. It's like buying real estate without the property tax.

[strange flicker]

ya i mean its not rly worth getting too much gold at this point

as long as u have a lil over 1.5bil

incase u see a big 4 lp get listed

so u can snipe

other than that better to keep anything that u may use later

i just wish i got my static shell early on when it was cheap as dirt

[stiff crown]

Me buying 3 LP Steps for 15m and 4 LP Peak for 3m. I miss those days

[strange flicker]

i bought my 3 lp foot of the mountain for like

10m?

not even 4 days later

it went to 60m

and now its 500-600m+

idk why it even went up so high the rm builds arnt using it, must be some other busted class using it too

[safe grail]

there are classes using full mountain sets

[strange flicker]

the boots are insane

theres some extra cheese frostclaw builds that use it to its full potential

[safe grail]

yeah

you can use it in full on drag claw builds

[strange flicker]

like rn my build

i dont gotta physically move

at all

so movement speed is meaningless

and its perma 3 stacked on boots

while i clear monos

LOL

u can basically replace all the mana nodes except the rng/add a buncha extra skills to spam w frost claw

if u keep it constantly up

i wish arcane ascendance had cold/fire skill tagging

wanted to try it with rm but the no tagging is pain

[stiff crown]

Do we know how much res monsters/bosses have by default?

And if they also cap at 75

[strange flicker]

u can go minus on pen

theres no limit anyways

but generally they have 0 resist unless its a specific type that says otherwise

[stiff crown]

Thanks

[full bluff]

Got cast speed and shred on the gloves, have to find frailty on amulet I guess - or drop armor for the blessing

[stiff crown]

What's the HP gained from potions at 100? 550?

[strange flicker]

550

[safe grail]

you cant get to AA anyway.

it's in the 2nd half of sorc tree which is locked

[strange flicker]

tru

[stiff crown]

Thanks

[neon lynx]

The 2nd half skills stay locked even if u dump enough points in?

[full bluff]

t7 cast speed on wand on first try! 🙂

I feel like this is prepping for cycle 2

testing stuff

but everything could change 🙂

[safe grail]

you railed the t7 on wrongwarp?

lets go.

lol

[full bluff]

yes

[cold sand]

I kind of want to create a fire RM based around the "ice fire fire" rune combo, igneous rain. On my current random invoke build, everytime that thing gets casted it just does so much damage.

I imagine with that one belt that gives+damage and a good T7 wand that spell would destroy bosses

[strange flicker]

i mean thats just hydro rm and u just swap to igneous rain for bossing probably

[full bluff]

Just need t7 cast speed on twisted now 🙂

[safe grail]

that build is gonna crank i stg

if they buff any part of it come cycle 2

[cold sand]

ah, go figure someone already made one

[safe grail]

ugh

[cold sand]

lol

[strange flicker]

it does alota dmg to bosses its just rly small area so wont do much for mono

[full bluff]

If they buff anything on sorc or the old skills. Can't get much worse I hope

[strange flicker]

so u would probably just swap the build around for when u want it

[cold sand]

I really wish I had meteor avail as RM so I could invoke with that

atm I use glacier as one of the spells it can cast and it hits so hard. Like glacier, meteor being able to be invoked would be insane

[full bluff]

Become a sorcerer 🙂

[cold sand]

oh I use the node that invokes a random spell from your hotbar based on the rune and has possibility to repeat

but yea I think a meteor sorc would be really fun as well

[safe grail]

I was thinking of how they could change runic so it's not so dog meat and like

i feel like they can change immutable order

[strange flicker]

i mean not using immutable is str8 up better in 99% of builds

its just for ease of use

[safe grail]

make immutable order 3 point investment and it allows you to select runewords based on point investment

so 1/3 you can only choose 1 runes, 2 pts you can choose 1 or 2 runed runewords etc

so then if you wanted to at least play something that doesnt lock you into CFC if you wanted to take immutable

and it allows you to target focus a specific runeword

[full bluff]

25 fireball / second

[safe grail]

whats the mana cost?

[full bluff]

26

[safe grail]

yeah nb

[cold sand]

or even better, each point allows you to lock in a specific rune slot? So you could choose to lock in slot 1, 2, or 3 based on the skill points.

[safe grail]

that's what im getting at, yeah

[strange flicker]

they should have put immutable before author of arcana

so make an easier version of rm

for ppl that prefer that

[cold sand]

So slot 1,3 could be random if you wanted to lock in slot 2 as Rah

[strange flicker]

like for plasma builds etc

[safe grail]

yeah you could lock or unlock the runes, etc

[strange flicker]

instead ur locked into running the long cd

[weary sky]

Hey what's the strongest rune master build? Any way for me to look at all of the builds and be able to tell somehow?

[safe grail]

Frostclaw anything

literally.

[strange flicker]

frost claw/dodge plasma orb

[safe grail]

honestly this whole suggestion would just make runemaster more accessible.

not a lot of folks prefer high APM style gameplay

[weary sky]

Ok ty 😎

[safe grail]

esp when it's clunky.

like that's my concern w/ plasma orb

[cold sand]

I love the "wild magic" random casting as well, but a better way to build around a specific invocation or set of invocations would be cool. I really dislike how they use "order of skills on bar" because I have a very specific way of setting up my skills

[strange flicker]

u can change keybinds

but ya i mean

u dont have to run it

just get used to manual casting

its str8 up better

[safe grail]

the only issue i have w/ manual casting

[strange flicker]

opens up more build paths/dmg for frost claw

[safe grail]

is as you get MORE cast speed

it becomes very hard to hit it accurately if you're slow

[full bluff]

I tried playing runemaster with author of arcana (free mana) and the node that reduces cooldown on changing runes, just casting what ever comes up

[strange flicker]

ya u just needa be on point w it LOL

[full bluff]

Was kind of working

[strange flicker]

am at

over 300% cast speed

[safe grail]

yeah i'm not zoomer enough for that anymore man

lmao

[strange flicker]

and i still sometimes mess it up cause

[safe grail]

im fkn 30 w/ a bad back and the start of arthritis haha

[strange flicker]

its not even a timing thing sometimes u just

dont press the 3rd

LOL

but it rly is str8 up better

cause rn ur locked to frost or fire flameward which is super int

when u can go lightning and get insane dmg boost

so manual always better

[cold sand]

Yea, I know that, I already use non-standard keybinds(ie, space is always traversial skill). and W is always my primary offensive spammable skill. But I also order them specially on the hotbar and have been doing that for literally years, it means I never have to think about my hotkeys because every single time I press a key, regardless of character/build, a specific thing happens. IE, E is always "defensive utility". So if I need a defensive/utility skill, regardless of build, I hit E. If I want to channel or cast my primary spell, I press W. If I need to dodge something, I press space. Never think about it ever

[safe grail]

I just think giving the option of being able to lock in runes w/ immutable would be kind of another interesting path of playstyle

and those idols are NOT the way it should have been done

the unique idols are absolute garbage lol

[strange flicker]

LOL

[cold sand]

Having some randomness to the spells you cast but with a locked rune would also be really cool

So you could then choose to cast random spells, but they're always fire

[safe grail]

well that probably wouldnt work

[cold sand]

by locking in the last rune for example

[safe grail]

cus each rune combo has a spell tied to it

oh w8

i c

you are sayin

make the first two runes C F and then 3rd rune is rand

[cold sand]

Yea I know. But the last rune determines spell type, so you'd just lock in third rune Rah and then you'd have a random fire spellcasting

[safe grail]

i c

yaya that could be kind of cool

think imma make the suggestion. see if they pick it up

probably not

but ya never know

[cold sand]

I think it just opens up so many more possibilities if done like that

and like, that seems to be the whole schtick of RM so I think they would be receptive

Could also do it via the Unique Idols, that might actually be even easier to implement. They would change their text to "lock in X slot to Y rune" and Y would be random. Three different idols, one for each slot. Then some increased damage or something for that slot based on what rune it is.

The current idols are kinda meh and I don't really see how to make them work, so reworking them is also an option

[safe grail]

nah i think it needs to be point investment. the idols should be reworked entirely or thrown out

you're not likely to use them even if they did this effect

[strange flicker]

those idols in general are really dog

[tardy comet]

I love my idols

Why you hating on idols

[safe grail]

we're talking about the unique RM idols

that are dog

[cold sand]

Yea that's why maybe reworking them is an option. Either a skill point investment or the unique idol rework would accomplish the goal, each one has + and - points. Reworking the idols would likely be 50x quicker/easier and thus more likely to be implemented than changing up the skill tree

[safe grail]

nah the idols still wouldnt be used. you'd use literally anything else that gave you dmg or defense over those

and just take immutable or manually cast

unless they got rid of the chance to gain w/e the fk

and made it flat

and made it all the same

cause rn it's literally 2 of them give ele dmg

and 1 gives ele pen

like ????

lol

no one was gonna use those from the get go

[cold sand]

Ya reworking them would make them "standardized"

[safe grail]

ya they'd need to make them REALLY attractive

like maybe what you could do

is they allow those idol slots to roll unique for RM

and you can imprint them

[next lance]

Hello, I really like the frost based mage, it's very fun

[safe grail]

w/ a runeword

that might be cool

so then the idea is you can imprint any sort of like huge idol w/ plasma orbs runeword

it takes up 4 slots, but you still get the idol benefit

and then to activate it you need to put 3 pts into immutable

something like that

[old vine]

Man I’ve seen one mad Ladle in my time and of course it had 0 LP. Any tricks on getting more?

[cold sand]

ez example

Your 2nd rune is always Heo.
Invocations with the 2nd runeword being Heo gives 50% increased damage

So the slot/rune would be random, and the idols made more common so you could find any combination of 1/2/3 slot, or Rah/Heo/Gon runeword.

You 3rd rune is always Rah
Invocations with the 3rd runeword being Rah gives 50% increased dmg

etc etc etc

[barren pawn]

Mg.

[strange flicker]

farm exiled mages or mg

[cold sand]

just higher corruption + luck.

I've gotten 5 2LP, but missed the slam on all of them

[old vine]

Man next season for sure. Might be too poor/ too late at this point to regrind those ranks

[strange flicker]

u can camp a mono and keep resetting to farm em

[old vine]

Is 200+ corruption enough?

[cold sand]

I tried doing this and it was really slow. It felt like I was getting about the same amount of mages per hour doing that versus just running monos regularly

[strange flicker]

na if u pick the right mono its probably rly good

but has to be specific ones i think

[cold sand]

well it's not a matter of "enough" or not, the higher you go, the better odds you have. So run the highest you can comfortably run

[strange flicker]

the ones that have rly good spots that u can scout real fast

[cold sand]

Yea i was using those. Found a list on reddit of recommended ones and it still felt really slow and tedious

[strange flicker]

generally though if u just farm it normally you'll get eventually tbh

i seen enough 2lp/3lp and am not even cof

[cold sand]

Yea. That's mostly it. It's just playtime.

I haven't seen a 3LP one yet I'm jealous lol. My luck with the 2LP ones has been so depressing

The one thing I'm really sad about is the blizzard invocation being a damage over time spell instead of a hit 😦 because heo heo heo invocation would've been fun to pair with glacier if you scaled them both, but sadly the blizz is a dot

[stiff crown]

I've gotten 3 LP4s but they all suck

As MG

[full bluff]

Video of testing Ex fireball build https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cE55aOUEkUg

This is just the test version 🙂

600 corruption

[barren pawn]

@safe grail

hes done the vidya

[full bluff]

I really like fireball, how it plays

[neon lynx]

That bossing looks hella painful

[full bluff]

Can't face tank it

(yet)

[neon lynx]

Not tanky enough to face tank and not enough damage to nuke

[barren pawn]

Who cares tho? Itts fun

[neon lynx]

Running around a boss in circles isn’t fun tho

[barren pawn]

https://tenor.com/view/fireball-avatar-fire-fire-nation-flames-gif-17164323

Burn the world

[next lance]

So I got really lucky and found a 2lp frozen ire, as a shatterstrike frost build what affixs would you look for to slam on it?

[barren pawn]

Many fireballs

[safe grail]

I mean, getting to 600 corruption is more than i could've imagined

so

[full bluff]

Can probably do it in a better pattern than I do, I am no pro skilled player 🙂

I just circle, thats all I know

[barren pawn]

i mean it works

tried and true

[safe grail]

it also doesnt help that

when you reposition

you lose ice barrage

if facing the other way

[barren pawn]

run circles around boss, waiting for resources and cooldowns, nuke, rinse wash repeat

[safe grail]

but that's a product of barrage

[full bluff]

Dropping ice barrage, not much use

testing fire wall now

to fit the theme

[safe grail]

that's the ONLY other one

that makes sense

[full bluff]

I tried static last night, but it is so uselss most of the time

[safe grail]

i wonder if chilled touch gets converted w/ fire wall

14% multi dmg is kinda nb

[full bluff]

yeah thats what I want to find out

[safe grail]

also getting frenzy again is chef's kiss

[hollow arrow]

nice, the dmg is there

just need the tankiness

good job with the build y'all

[safe grail]

most credit goes to Redkatt for this version

[strange flicker]

its a wrongwarp build, tankyness should just be CDR stacking to the max to get tele as low as possible

anything else will be meaningless

maybe dodge

[safe grail]

you can't stack too much CDR on sorc really.

[strange flicker]

yea sadly

[safe grail]

you're locked to 20% from passive

[strange flicker]

wats the max u can get

[safe grail]

then whatever u get on gear

and that's it

which he already has the max iirc

[strange flicker]

should be able to get tele to under 1.5 though rite

[safe grail]

nah

he's using mana tunnel

to make meteor cast for free

[strange flicker]

unlucky

[safe grail]

that's how you get the mana regen for this build

i pulled that from Dread's FC build

and just basically adapted it to fireball lol

[strange flicker]

better off somehow managing mana somewhere else

[safe grail]

except i had gone 0 mana fireball thru cindersong use to abuse the cast speed/mana/ward gen node

nah

you can't.

mana regen as a stat is sht, esp as you scale up cast speed

[cold sand]

could you use immolaters belt to increase dmg here? And shred fire resistance blessing? or is mostly all the dmg from spark

[safe grail]

you can use immolator's in a 0 mana version

sorc struggles w/ ward

strand is the best option

[full bluff]

Many options here, thats the fun of it

the core mechanics are there to play it

[safe grail]

yeah like if you go 0 mana and can generate meaningful ward to negate the ignite

[full bluff]

thats the important part

[safe grail]

it's fun ive done it

like we were just talkinga bout using AA as a potential solve to the bossing dmg problem

cause you can pop AA w/ acuity and cunning active and get 12 buffed fireball casts w/ no extra mana investment from AA

and you can TP w/ AA and it not break it

the biggest thing i was trying to accomplish was just using SOMETHING other than fkn FC or LB lol

granted at its core, it's still semi lightning, but it also abuses a mechanic that Katt found that is unique to sorc

(if you cashapp me $50 i'll tell you what it is via screenshare)

lmao

[strange flicker]

i mean bossing is a joke if u can get ur cdr to 90-92% on any mage

its auto win

[safe grail]

i think he is capped out at the 80% or so

[strange flicker]

gg]

[safe grail]

but yo ucan't scale CDR like you can RM

[full bluff]

can still get rings and gloves with CDR

[safe grail]

?

oh yeah

opals

and gloves nah.

[full bluff]

but I don't like builds that have some kind of weird mechanic to it 🙂

old school perma freeze with snap stuff 🙂

[safe grail]

lol yeah

the uh

spoon and ladle build

lmao

[strange flicker]

btw wat u running the barrage forr

in that build

[safe grail]

he was running it to make up for ST dmg lacking

but it's kinda dogmeat

[cold sand]

are there any sorc builds around harginger of stars? The sort of mana required to make that work made it seem impossible

[full bluff]

There is an open skill slot, testing what to use it for

[strange flicker]

better off running frost wall

[hollow arrow]

still the fact y'all got it to work is nice

[full bluff]

ice barrage is one option

[strange flicker]

get the perma 14% dmg increase

[hollow arrow]

an option other than FC/LB lmao

[safe grail]

yeah lmao

for me, AA might be the more viable option

but that's just MY approach

[hard orbit]

are there any good melee mage builds or will I get depressed?

[safe grail]

SB is pretty underwhelming atm. the only one that is worth it is mana strike spark charge

[hollow arrow]

i think uhhhh kurii uses a melee mana strike build

killed 1320c shade i think?

[safe grail]

which is basically just using FC and LB procc'd off a max crit Mana strike

thru drag's claw

[hard orbit]

that sounds like artillery fc with extra steps

[hollow arrow]

got a spell crit omni last night ex

[full bluff]

We will probably end up back doing FC in 1.1, when they try nerf FC again, it becomes even better. Making the procs cast 5 FCs

[safe grail]

it basically ends up with infinite mana

all they have to do to FC

is either further nerf spark of celerity

or add addntl mana cost to the nodes that add mana cost

and it'll pretty much be the end of FC lol

[full bluff]

It was fine before 1.0

[hard orbit]

got any planner for it? just out of curiocity

[full bluff]

Bit tricky to use, but fine

[safe grail]

it depends on what mastery

it's a build that can play any of the masteries lol

[hard orbit]

I mean I'm RM but I would like to see spellblade just for the fantasy of it

[hollow arrow]

hmmmm bloods went down in price surprising

[hard orbit]

it would be so good if they introduced something to share corruption on alts

[hard orbit]

if it's on LE tools I'll dig it out, if it's something obscure I will be clueless, that's why I asked

On-Hit Lightning Spellblade - V3 Final Version - Build Guide - 1.0 by BikespokesARPG

[safe grail]

yeah i just ripped it from LE Tools

no one has really plugged further on the Spellblade version idt

the problem with that build is you NEED an attack speed drag's

or it just feels like dog lol

i have my spellblade up and was trying to do something w/ shatterstrike, but i might revsist this one myself

it has a lot of potential and doesn't require the dual wield node which is nice

and spellblade just turbo abuses peak

[hard orbit]

he does?

[hard orbit]

the gear feels a bit w/e I guess there's a lot to work upon ?

[solemn viper]

question: between frostbite frostclaw and nova claw runemaster wich one would be more ideal at lower corruption? i am running nova claw right now at 3-400 corruption but i can only make decent gear since no drops

[hard orbit]

@safe grail I dont understand the skills tbh, or at least how they are set up

[hard orbit]

havent really tried frostbite but novaclaw felt really good even when I had really lackluster gear

[sullen umbra]

I am trying to find a pair of Snow Drift Boots and I am out of Rones of Ascendance and rng isn't giving me any Unique boots rewards in the empowered Spirits of Fire timeline... would it be more efficient to try and chase Rune of Ascendance prophecies or Unique boots prophecies?

[hollow arrow]

rip bloods failed slam

[wet lintel]

unique boots, especially if you're rank 10

[stiff crown]

Laughs in 0 Mana cost FC with Maucuahuitl

[hard orbit]

rip

[tawdry remnant]

Frost claw has passive that allows cast on melee skills. Spam mana strike using node that makes it ranged but it still counts as melee. Mana strike cast frost claw, frost claw cast lightning blast with the unique, swing and go pew

And you just pepper them with spark charges from mana strike/lightning blast

Pew and boom

[hard orbit]

that sounds sexy!

so its not realy melee then ?

[tawdry remnant]

Enchant weapon just has an attack speed steroid that's pretty much all you're using it for. And flame ward is nice

It's "melee"

Yeah

You really don't have mana issues since frost claw cast costs nothing and you get your lightning blast mana back pretty quick

[stiff crown]

The build is functional even without FC and LB. You can branch off even though you have the dagger. I need to experiment without FC and see what I get. I ran without LB for a while and used Enchant Weapon instead for the 50% melee speed. Was nice until I needed more defensive layers

[tawdry remnant]

You do need the dagger. Other than that it's fine

The most important things for the build is attack speed/crit. And you basically just play it as ward generation, as it can create a pretty absurd amount of ward

Crit cap is very important though

[hard orbit]

mmmmmm I see the spellblade passives are a lot of ward per second which looks underwhelming compared to the ward per hit madness of RM

[tawdry remnant]

At least for your frost claw you need to be crit capped

Don't worry about the ward per second

I mean you end up taking some cause you have to

[hard orbit]

no no yeah ofc, it also gives int

[tawdry remnant]

But you're basically just worried about the attack speed/spark charge on melee nodes

Despite relying on a melee skill, you are like 90% spell damage

So people invest a lot into RM anyway

And you'll want 5+ points in that sorc node gives crit from int

[hard orbit]

obv, the life saver

[tawdry remnant]

Pretty much a 1 button build it's very relaxing and simple ahah

[stiff crown]

MFW bro specs both Convergence and Divergence

[hard orbit]

I wanna try it tbh looks fun but I wish there was a way we could see spark charges on target

[stiff crown]

Not having Celestial Doom as SB really hurts

RM exclusive passive

[safe grail]

yeah

[sand bridge]

so does ele nova not proc with unstable core?

[safe grail]

it does not.

it is direct casts only.

[sand bridge]

not channel?

thats a big RIPPERS

[safe grail]

oh w/ the channel?

idk

i just assumed you were referencing like

FC Nova or something

lol

[sand bridge]

i was trying to blase with trinova channel and hit 77 to toss on the unstable....and its not proccing..feelsbad.

[safe grail]

yeah makes sense tho

cause channeled nova is exactly that

so you'd likely have to channel 5 times then on the 6th it procs

[sand bridge]

it says in tooltip tho 4 casts a second.

unstable sasy sever 6 casts'

[safe grail]

you're missing what i am saying

the item is assuming you are NOT channeling

so if you ARE channeling

it is likely

every time you start your 6th channel

it procs

so you'd have to stutter cast it 6 times

which is not worth it when you channel

[sand bridge]

no because it has to be within a few secs which would never happen.

either way feelsbad.

[safe grail]

I literally just said that but, iiwii.

Nova sucks when it is direct cast. move on

[hard orbit]

am i missing something or spark doesnt display on target?

[sand bridge]

yeah move on to an alt.

[safe grail]

LOL

[hard orbit]

spark charge i meant

[safe grail]

if you wanted to play nova, you'd likely just do it unchanneled and stack cast speed

it'll be better anyway.

[hard orbit]

cricket sounds

[hollow arrow]

lol

[stiff crown]

It doesn't

[hard orbit]

well, bummer

thought maybe I had a bad game file or something

does each single hit from frost claw have a chance to apply spark charge via fragment of the enigma? (that 12%)

each projectile I mean

[stoic minnow]

when buying mad alchemist ladle for novaclaw build does the stat really matters? like electricity chance,shred,poison etc

if it does what should i aim for?

higher electricity? or shred or poison?

[hard orbit]

shred for sure, and I guess depending on build/gear frailty and slow are good to have always

[stiff crown]

Each hit counts as an individual hit so yes

[safe grail]

by GOD ehg needs to stop rolling fkn minion stats for mages

[stiff crown]

I'm assuming you're asking about Volley of Glass

[safe grail]

holy FK

[hollow arrow]

lmao

almost 100% spell crit is noice

[hard orbit]

yup, so you get 5 hits that all can proc spark charge on the target and then you have extra bounces which are another 5 hits per bounce?

[stiff crown]

What bounce are you talking about

[hard orbit]

the extra casts

on through the snow etc

apologies, bad phrasing

[stiff crown]

Oh. Sorry, don't know. I don't direct cast it. But probably?

[safe grail]

extra bounces/casts generally count as separate hits

[hard orbit]

so with your original cast, the 2 extras and the 3rd one which is returned back to you you get 4x5, 20 hits, with each having 12% chance to stick a spark charge

[safe grail]

as well as each having a chance to generate more mana too

thru gift of winter

[hard orbit]

but it doesnt matter how many projectiles you fire for the elemental nova proc just the separate casts/bounces

[safe grail]

thats based on a projectile reaching a target

afaik if it doesnt hit a target, it wont proc

[hard orbit]

I mean the target can be the floor, I see it proccing when I have no enemies around.

and each nova has 100% chance from the node to apply spark charge no matter the element AND a 12% charge to apply 1 extra spark charge from fragment of the enigma

[full bluff]

Spark charges proc on the floor?

Novas do

Each frost claw projectile can proc spark charge, if you use volley and on through the snow you get 10x hit to the same target you aim at

[stiff crown]

FYI, the probability of none of the 20 hits proccing Spark Charge is 7.76%

[hard orbit]

no thats what I meant that I dont need for the frost claw to hit an enemy to proc a nova, just for it to hit the floor etc

[stiff crown]

Get faster projectiles so you miss less on moving targets

[hard orbit]

I mean atm I have no issue with mapping I'm just wondering if all the frost claws hit big targets like bosses etc, or if I should be aiming differently

[full bluff]

if you aim and hit the boss, you get 10 hits per cast

there are some trick shot aim stuff too, but I don't know how to make it work effectively 🙂

[stiff crown]

I just use auto aim

[hard orbit]

10 hits? but you have like 20 hits from all the jumps

[safe grail]

Yeah but not all of those will hit

On a boss at least

[hard orbit]

they will hit, I believe, emperor of corpses is chonky boi

copium

[barren pawn]

emp of corpses rocked my shi in non emp before i geared up

i geared up even just a tiny bit and then facerolled her ass

[hard orbit]

I love it when a build mentions items like 3-4 lp strand of souls

WHAT

[stiff crown]

Buy gold

[hollow arrow]

Yeah that's the fun stuff

[strange flicker]

there is no 3lp to buy even with infinite gold

[hard orbit]

yup

like

[stiff crown]

Do it off the market

[hollow arrow]

Lmao

[hard orbit]

I suppose its a way to mention "good affixes" on an item, maybe

[hollow arrow]

Rmt items next if gold don't work

[stiff crown]

I know a guy that knows a guy

[strange flicker]

[hollow arrow]

Kurii is the guy

[stiff crown]

I know me

[hollow arrow]

Gonna cost ye monies

All the monies

[neon lynx]

Wtt kuri (used. Good condition) for 3lp twisted

[hollow arrow]

You'll need two kuriis for that

Just how market is now

[neon lynx]

@mighty loom @stiff crown

Leggo

[hollow arrow]

Deal

[neon lynx]

That random dude named kuri bouta be like wtf

[stiff crown]

They're both me

[hard orbit]

man for 4lp strand of souls you'll see stock exchange happening

[barren pawn]

most builds dont even need 3/4 lps

but absolute bis is 3/4 lp.

so thats why they list it

[strange flicker]

belt stats suck anyways u just want 1 lp cdr

[barren pawn]

if a build guide is saying THSI BUILD WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT 3/4LP then its a sh1t guide

[strange flicker]

anything else is luxury

unless u need some experimental thing

[hollow arrow]

belts i mostly just get a nice exalted now lol

[barren pawn]

strands for me

or if this wild theorycraft works, meteor belt

[unborn hamlet]

hmm weird

something wrong with LE tools today?

doesnt want to import my character

no, it just has 400% freeze rate hit

tbh i never tested it

basically dont need potions in boss fight

Snap Freeze just straight up freezes

Concoction has a chance to freeze based on the event HP

[safe grail]

I mean the trade off for playing ranged mana strike is only gaining 41 mana on crit

so it COULD still work but

idk

[hardy loom]

the ranged mana strike feels kinda

scuffed

[safe grail]

the idea behind this whole thing is like... you'd be critting A LOT w/ mana strike

cause of it's end node that give syou 40% base crit

so you need to be able to sustain the mana cost of meteor should it cast

TP also running mana tunnel, so i have no clue if that would refund the mana

Oh jk it doesnt

direct cast.

[safe grail]

so yeah it really can't play ranged strike

usual disclaimer, no clue how this would perform lmao

[hardy loom]

xD

[safe grail]

sometimes i just plug sht into the planner

to try later lmao

[full bluff]

I made a frost claw build with crit casting of meteor, looks nice, but can't kill much

[hardy loom]

ill prob run this class someday when im more free and see whats up

but for now its just runemaster and marksmen

[barren pawn]

where ping

[safe grail]

it was the planner

i sent

[full bluff]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xKRvjK4mPdU

[safe grail]

but deleted cause upated it.

[hardy loom]

looks cool

[full bluff]

You can make fire claw cost 0 mana, so it becomes a generator

[hardy loom]

whats the main dps

prob still claw ig

[full bluff]

damage is supposed to come from meteor... but meteor is not really good at that

[hardy loom]

😂 rip

[full bluff]

so you end up relying on ignite...

[stiff crown]

I believe the Mana on Crit node bypasses the Mana penalty on the ranged node as well

[full bluff]

and frost claw

if only meteor had some true damage to it

[safe grail]

w8 wdym

like it doesnt get the penalty?

[stiff crown]

It says you get 80% less mana

[hardy loom]

i know ranged mana strike wasnt sufficient for my shatterstrike spellblade

[safe grail]

if you put 4/4 into mana drain it wont matter

you net 0 at that point

[stiff crown]

That doesn't take away from the Mana from crits

[safe grail]

so that's why it'd bypass

afaik it's just putting modifiers together

so +80% then if you took ranged node -80%

and it nets 0

[strange flicker]

yes if u mean the mana strike on crit

it doesnt get affected by ranged

u get full value regardless

it only affects some mana increase nodes i believe

[safe grail]

ah fun

so yeah you'd gain 41 mana on crit

which, you'd have like 150% attack speed

or some sht

so very good mana gen + cast on crit meteor in melee range

+i added 40% chance to stun w/ lightning lmao

so when you hit w/ mana strike things will eventually stand still

and just get slapped by meteor

could be a cute build

[dusty timber]

Is there a viable non channeling sorc build right now? I tried autocast Meteor on crit with decent gear but struggling in 100 cor mono. Never felt this weak with my RN and Spellblade.

[barren pawn]

see, this is why i am good to ahve around in arpgs

i make dumb, memey sggestions

[safe grail]

i never said it could push

or be turboviable

but

it has potential

let redkatt try it and he'll make it like

[full bluff]

There are atleast 3 pretty viable ways to play sorcerer, frost claw, lightning blast and fireball

[stiff crown]

I don't think that's how it works. More and less multipliers are multiplied together and not added. Just like all more and less multipliers. Therefore, 15x0.2x1.8=5.4.

Whereas, 15*0.2+12 when crit = 15.

[barren pawn]

and they get made into full fledged potential builds

[safe grail]

600 corr viable in a day.

lmao

[barren pawn]

Disintegrate : P

[stiff crown]

Dang it Discord with the italics

[full bluff]

sorry, disintegrate too 🙂

[dusty timber]

I can't for the life of me play frost claw again. I'll look at lightning blast. Thanks!

[safe grail]

well i more meant, it adds 80% mana from one node, then takes away 80% from the ranged node

no idea

[safe grail]

dont let him bait u. he's playing RM dis

he hasnt tried Sorc dis yet

[full bluff]

Is disintegrate about stacking crit chance and using that uinque?

[strange flicker]

the play for sorc is to make whatever build w perma arcane ascendance uptime

u can teleport and it doesnt drop it right?

[full bluff]

yes, can tele with aa up

[strange flicker]

just need to make a build where you dont move manually

only teleport

prob non wrongwarp

[hardy loom]

🤔

[strange flicker]

i do this w rm

idk if sorc can manage

but if u can

u can perma keeep up

and run frostclaw/some other variation for insane dmg increase

but ur tele needa be sub 2sec

or u will get destroyed in any real high corr

[full bluff]

trying to make AA work now, with fireball

[strange flicker]

if u can get it to 1.5 sec ur gucci

[hardy loom]

1.5 💀

[strange flicker]

and if u need mana run foot of the mountain

when u tele it doesnt break the effect

u can perma -6 mana costs
