it doesnt even work
like not only is it worded different it doesnt even do waht it says it does xD
but ye
it's worded differently because 100% Increased Void Resistance means it doubles whatever existing void resist you have
but who cares about quadratic scaling for void resist?
you know?
ye
quadratic scaling for cold resist, however, would be completely nuts
because that's quadratic scaling for ward ret
necrotic would be cool too
yeah
warlock xD
plz buff mana
for spellblades, do you tend to focus on int, dex, or both?
probably int cuz it scales ward retention
i thought so too, also prodigy passive gives +ward per second depending on int
- it still scales dmg just not as well as dex
yeee
i forget is frostbite shackles a boss drop or can you rune it?
k
fat ice shade guy
My guide is the letools planner, anyone that has it knows who i am both on reddit and here. They are free to ping and ask
it's formosus
Posting an actual, online guide, just gets it clowned on by people memeing about the skill
shadow moses
Unless your name is volca, or your build is on maxroll
blue moses
lol
so i got a idol that gives me damage if i have lightning aegis but i dont see that spell or skill anywhere
so what is it?
I like disintegrate okay except the visual is awful to my aesthetics for some reason
look at static or lightning blast
aegis is granted by certain lightning skills
its a massive chunk of DR
should give my build a go if youre ever in the mood
ah ok. makes sense now i couldnt find it then
Maybe
i know what it is but nothing said what actually gives it
I had the same problem. It's really not clear what lightning aegis is
because your first experience with it is by getting those idols, probably
Sorceror spells kind of underwhelming
Void hole was kind of fun and the icicle machine gun/shot gun was more satisfying than it sounded in the description
I got a bunch of Primalist drops so maybe a third
No I think it does okay damage but its more useful for the debuffs it's exactly the kind of skill that'd be great if you could slap it in a totem.
i meant sorc
Oh yea Sorc kind of feels like it's supposed to front load damage but dot seems superior and certainly better for smoother leveling ... meteor can become good for screen clear but I just didn't like it
meteor needs a better tree lowkey
I think the skills aren't finished yeah and ... the sorceror passives all need to better descriptions
Maybe a rework
Like something about sorceror just seemed to make me feel confused ... rogue was like ooh neat puzzle neat options
ye
honestly, do yourself a favor and try disintegrate out before cycle 2
we dotn know if theyll make it better or worse
my HOPE is better
LOL
and kains wording makes it seem better
the amount of misinformation about dis is wild too
everyone and their mothers seems to think its tooltip dps is bugged
and its not
not bugged in a good way or a bad way?
its tooltip dps like pretty much every other ability in the game takes all of your potential modifiers and calculates that way. WITHOUT INCLUDING monster DR or armors
It is accurate to enemies with no defenses IE the arena training dummies
it automatically calculates its new dps inside of echoes with modifiers as well, also not accounting for monster DR
This is why elemental pen is such a big deal for it
the more you have, the more accurate the tooltip
lol
tooltip dps doesnt include secondary skill procs tho? Which i assume makes it pointless in too many cases
Unless it does. No idea about that.
ye but they have their own tooltip if you shift on the secondary skill inside the tree
or was it alt
same thing tho
ye its alt
I guess? What i meant is often that specific metric isnt helpful
https://imgur.com/a/r8QWR2D Nice LL glove just dropped
wait doesnt pen increase the tooltip dps too which basically keeps it not accurate?
lemee buy
14% mana effi with 32% double lightning dmg
oof
might swap out a armor/mana one for that
thats literal perfection for me @stiff crown
i will literally buy them roight fekkin now
I'm LL build too
what do you have for ll rn tho on gloves?
That’s brilliant!
worse... or better?
yeeeeah..... let me buy those i think the loss in cc would still be fixed by them having 6% more on the exp and more int
MY hope is they make it better, because kains wording makes it seem better
kains words not mine " we want to make disintegrate stand on its own "
shred isnt included though, which is ultimately a similar effect. Since dis doesnt hit it can't apply shred, but other skills can, but its not reflected in the tooltip. The more ele pen you have, the smaller the difference between having and not having shred will be
Yeah I'll probably make a disintegrate fireball mage next season
fireball crit with disintegrate to apply frostbite or something
:p
I do like that this game isn't as complicated as POE but mage is kind of wonky
lol
ic
the way it works is basically
if enemy has resistance
over 75%
shred is less effective
cause it gets applied first
but if they are 0
which is 99% of mobs prob
dis cant shred as it is
then its basically same
which is why pen is so needed
yeah i mean pen is op
I dunno. I was going to use slam them. Put some Hybrid HP and see if I can get a 20%
pen takes a monster that has say
I was gonna use them to see what my ward goes up to XD
and see if my dmg goes up even tho i lose crit
so how much pen do we need in general
I'm pretty sure if I put it on the market for cap, I'd sell pretty fast
markets recovering / recovered. So no, no it wont
People still have gold
resist pen is just more damage
You can see what your ward would be with a ward calc
dont h av a ward calc
how do i make spellblades more tanky? go lowlife ward build?
im still trying to make a surge focused build lmao
what gloves
I have literally no idea what my ward per second is
You doing resting ward or combat ward?
either works, combat just has me add what double proc on fw adds
is there any actual way to farm exsanguinous or is i all up to chance on any mono? my dumbass sold one for super cheap on the bazaar early on my first character because i didnt know what i had
For combat, just enter everything in except ward per second. Then just fiddle with that variable until it gets you what you typically get in combat - like 25-30k vs bosses, just mess with it until you get 27.5k.
pfft i top out at 15
Oh yea...
Sliding in
You didn’t dupe ur way to gold cap like all the other MGers?
hell naw
Smh
am lazy for that
why bother when this unstable can get me almost 1b lmao
dont rly need anything atm lmao
What u need gold for then
^
i'll worry about needing more when i hit 100m again
This guy gets it
anyone running t4 julra?
lol wand with t6 freeze rate, t6 cold pen, t5 cast and ele spell dmg
ohhh nice cold pen helmet
t7 cold pen with frostbite, open prefix, crit avoid and ward per sec
and yeah felt like lp drops was up some tonight
kept getitng 2-3's
i keep getting the dog 4 lp items
got the harrowing axe or w/e that 1 is literally 0 gold
I’ll give ya 1 gold for it
its in the bin
thats a bargain
wheres my 4lp static shell
on the floor that you missed
Well, that's bs, I made zero changes, just checked editing history, your guide has 8 revisions all made by you. Not sure what's your game here.
As for
They wanted to list super easy to get uniques as a Con for the build.
The reject reason was
"Overview section could be expanded a bit. I doubt there's just one con in the build, at the very least it requires a lot of unique/set items. Endgame section should be expanded, otherwise the guide is just too short."
You listed just one con which is not enough, so I made a suggestion to at least add another one - that build requires uniques. I don't really care about easy/not easy, but if you mention it your build has Heart of Uhkeiros with +4 to frost claw, I doubt that's "easy" to farm.
he hasnt deleted anything
Yeah, discord just wonky sometimes
you on the other hand just did 😂
Yes
dont think ive seen you in here before tho, thanks for makin letools. @knotty skiff and apologies for the ping
eats popcorn while wishing I could put a popcorn eating gif in this stupid discord
🍿
i dont see how hard it is to farm lp4 uniques
just have it drop and slam
if you cant farm it, dont follow it
u are kidding
i was just about to come to chat n say istg "the cuckoo' is never going to drop for me i've killed like a billion exiled mages
as i'm thinking it i kill the mage and i see an off-hand catalyst unique drop n i'm like not even excited i'm like whatever i hover it and it's finally the cuckoo
spoke too soon the affixes are garbage 😭
accidentally shattered a exalted w t6 increased spell dmg and - mana cost
5 int that's almost a stat roll
its not me tho its windows
🍿
windows being sh1t
classic blame windows
mic on or mic off, it still doesnt pull the audio
so imma just record a clip, hover over the stats, and put an letools link in the description for now
or somehow discord is hogging all the audio and doesn't work on anything else
im ready with my comments for that build

oof
t7 cast spd gloves and 2nd prefix was mana
close but time for another swaddling
scuffed video is processing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxmgT_3QaPY waiting on youtube to verify a video before theyll let the full link be in the description lmfao
so theres BRIEF mic audio at some points
for half a second
this angers me
thanks windows
MARKETS GETTING BACK TO NORMAL BAYYYBEEEEEE
2LP EXSANGS BACK DOWN TO 50M
or lower
3lps still at gold cap
this should come down once they realize nobody is buying
( they were like 500 mil a few days ago for reference )
say that when static shells 3lp exists
every listing is less than 8 hours old
3lp statics are rare asf tho
3lp exsangs arent
also 2 2lp twisteds up right nfow
gold cap though
deflations gonna take about a week
IF ehg doesnt do anything
on the day of the exploit there was like5 up
thre were several pages the day prior.
1lps are also extremely cheap
and tbph, work fine if you succeed the slam
yt verified my vidya but won t le tthe link be clickable
😭

earlier there were some lp2 twisteds up for 500-800m
got bought out and now it's just 1.5
yeah
liek i said prior, market is healing
we just need more supply
@hollow arrow go meme ( jk pls dont )
the letools link is sposed to be clickable
and its not
so its just a rather... kinda sh1t vidya
without a voice overlay walknig through whats going on
dis isnt really that slow
Yall turbo nerds are just used to the zoomies you get from builds that let you cast on the move

anyone using dagger for frost claw?

wowweeeeee the mods disabled post editing on the subreddit?
isnt that just the standard frost claw nova one
close but im trying to work in some extra funny uniques
the gloves and amulet in particular
both are p bad for rm
both cause u never stack hp and cause ur perma healed cause of leech
the retention is nice doe on the neck
but its only 1 lp and rly hard to get over 1 lp so not rly super worth
oooo fellow ravenous enjoyer!
I briefly considered it for my disintegrate build
but went with strands of souls as my belt so i cant cleanse ravenous's debuff
( they really need to make it so you cant self cleanse a uniques debuffs, as ravenous ESPECIALLY gets extremely powerful when you can just yeet its debuff off you )
thats where the frost claw node brightfrost comes in
with about 250% cast speed that plenty of casts to cleanse any ailments you might get
ailments are a trap
its never the ones that stick to you on ur debuff
that rly kill u
its the ones that insta proc dmg
and its mostly those that destroy you later on
im really just trying to find a build with a bunch of rare uniques i can just work on minmaxing after work each day
u can try confulence of fate
the necklace
super strong unique
also p cheap i think if ur mg, not sure about now
think ill pass on more damage taken thanks 😂
trust that dmg taken part is nonfactor
also im a cof enjoyer
ah
unlucky
or maybe lucky ig after that exploit
LOL
but as far as optimizing goes
theres a doc to check your frostclaw mana situation
im not a FC abuser haha
so u can optimize the tree more
im a disintegrate main
i getcha i was just pointing out why i would be able to run rav void and strand of souls on my build
im probably pretty casual compared to alot of the people in here i bet haha
if i had to guess my current frostclaw build im running in game could be made twice as good by someone who knew what they were doing
just depends what path u wana take w it tbh, theres a buncha variation w the frost claw spark charge builds
but for eg atleast, in ur passives in mage tree
you can drop a buncha points
knowledge of destruction, lower to 5/elementalist lower to 2
and put those in RM tree
inscribed instruments is rly strong

really? i was sure there was gonna be a bunch of stuff i was missing or not understanding about how the build works haha
foot of the mountain better than other boots?
dat feel when ur about to kill a shade then dc and lose 3 gazes 
pretty sure i need them to fix my mana issues
but today is the first im hearing of the frostclaw mana calculator puru mentioned so i might not need them i havent checked
yeah I mean the only other kind of off meta option i could see would be like...a 3 LP Urzil's pride since you are inadvertently stacking light res
i actually have 6 3lp urzils from trying to farm a 2lp unstable core haha
i dont think i will have 300 mana after swapping to urzils though
i mean on sheet rn you dont cause of how LET is but imma assume you do in game lol
yeah in game i have 332 mana
I just put together turbo BiS version of my current build using letools

Its theoretically possible
You would need a dedicated farm group 24/7 of a crap ton of people

holy crap i clearly do not understand your build why do you have SO MUCH crit chance
nevermind i see it
the off hand
😂
yknow that doubles with a crit shrine?
sheeeesh
huh.... that does say "more damage" doesnt it....
578 from lightning dmg, so another 6x nearly, then alllllll the multis built into my skills
i think im lookin at around like
probably 80x if i was absolute pinnacle full bis 4lp everywhere turbonerd
and it isnt even calulating my julras procs
Dont they for everyone though?
higher number = better for most things
there is something else that make my neurons activate
😏
4LP shackles and twisted heart
at this point even T7 spellslinger ice sceptre would make them activate
everytime i drop a T7 spell sceptre all the other stats are total brick
which is like all of the bazaar rn too lmfao
anyone make a spellblade shatterstrike build?
Change to armor % for helm, body, and boots. That'll give you more armor overall.
already did, mostly 😂
Hello 🙂 Do some knows the drop rate for Mad Alchamist ladle ? atm i have 2600 echo conquered, and out of the Exiled Mages, i got 4, and the last almost 14 days, i have not seen any, i find that a little frustrating
unlucky by the sound of it
if i just could get some with 1 lp haha
Oh that suks 😦

thankfully when i decide to give fc lb a shot, itll work
Cept the ignite part
ignite deez

best slam outcome on strong mind
oh, oh yeah, its all coming together
IM NOOOOOOT
the markov chain in my head is autocompleting that as "should I make a guide?"
@barren pawn do you use fire disintegrate or lightning out of curiosity?
I was tinkering with a disintegrate build idea
Lightning is just better
aesthetically and in practice imo
Yeah ive already made a reddit post, and TRIED to make a video guide but unfort two things happened so i remvoed the link to vidya
thing 1 - windows did NOT record my mic
so 40 minute long complete overview of stats, gear, alternate nodes for skills, had no fekkin voice over at all
Thing 2 - people want a build showcase with it doing monos, and unfort, my toon is still base tier emps.
My buddy took it for a testdrive on his RM tho, pulled down 600 corr with the same slams and gear as i ahve minus a small % or flat number here or there
So when i get around to it, ill record one base tier emp, just so people can see how it plays.
Hmm that’s what I as thinking! The 60% damage loss was spooky but it felt like lightning would be insane with the lightning scepter that converts mana to ward. That said i wasn’t sure if I should actually try to scale disintegrate or just use it as a mama battery
Especially since the multi beam stacks with lightning mama gen and doubles it
It’s like 80 mama per second with lightning + gen + 100% mana bonus
Or do you just use lightning without making it free mana?
Wand is still BiS for Dis
And wdym by 60% dmg loss?
oh i wa sgoing to take the node which mnade it gain 20 mana per second but loses 60% damage
Laser focus* was the node. Do you run it without laser focus to maximize damage with the 250% shock multi?
Laser focus is NOT worth it
You dont run out of mana while killing
and for bosses / when you do, you have focus
Noted! Do you take the multi beam which splits it into two?
Yes, as it gives you more damage when both beams hit than the hit you take
Tyty, ill tinker around it it!
anyone here also experience flame ward not activating sometimes when you press it?
Only if I'm out of mana
or u in a stun
maxroll is so far off on some guides, I lost trust pretty quickly
I think one of the issues is having Focus it feels clunky getting forced to stop and sustain mana with it, although that impression can probably be blamed on youtubers as well who's like Y U STOP MY ZOOM!?!
Yeah make it like ghostflame where you levitate
is shred lightning resist rly better than lightning dmg for rune master in high corrupt? like i just lost overall dmg after going from 67% lightning dmg to 47% shred lightning dmg from lagoon boss
for spark charge runemaster
Oh heck yeah. If you swapped from increased lightning damage to lightning shred blessing you should see a large uptick in damage on anything remotely tanky. You'll lose some damage on non tanky stuff that die fast (so no stacks) but as they die fast anyway shouldn't matter.
alr then ig with 47% from 50% im pretty good to go
I guess it depends on how much lightning resist gets shredded. Like going from 75% to 0% would be x4 damage
I think the lagon blessing % is the chance to shred, not the amount
ah ye
It caps at 10 stacks, so -5% res per stack @ 50% more damage assuming no other penetrations, but that's reduced by 60% on bosses, and assuming you cast fast enough for the 4sec durations
But it should almost always be better then anything that's just "increased damage"
Right, I'm sitting at 378% increased lightning damage. so another 67% is barely 20% increase
Disintegrate gets a bad rap because of the zoomy bois yes. Focus doesnt feel too bad, aside from bosses, you reeeeally dont normally run out of mana enough to need it, or if you need it as an oh shid button, ( dfensive focus setup )
You're not really moving when you cast FC either. Who are these zoomy bois and what are they suing
Plus you got shock on top of that
Novas, runebolts, frostwalls.
Is shock the ailment that looks like stun? I was wondering why monsters were getting stunned
My builds thread on reddit has over 30k views, and an 85% upvote rate.
Im doing something right.
Did you manage to make it usable while leveling? 😄
are you looking for a leveling build?
Nah, but if i plan for a build\skill and i get that early, i do want to use it at that point. But disintegrate at lv10 when i casually tried it some time back felt meh
@barren pawn hey man! got to level 77 last night, absolutely love your disintegrate build over the last one, whats the reason going lightning over fire?
Still leveling to get to be able to use the belt, and i still have to get an exsang armor
Benefits from shock procs.
looks better.
We sith lords in this bish.
Well, I am the sith lord.
gotcha! I specced into the lightning and my dps dropped a healthy amount but still erasing enemies, im sure my exalts could fix that right up since i still have fire dmg % on them
i do be feeling like a sith lord
Oh my, Kyo set himself up to fall here 😄
ok well the lightning shred didnt do anything to oro still takes ages to kill him and 1 missplay and dead -2 corruption stacks
and u cant even see anything when playing runemaster xD
Aren't you stacking ward, how are you dying to Oro as RM\spark? Or is it high corruption?
are you freezing the mofo??
remember freeze is your window to move/realize what's on the ground
I am a force being, I cannot be killed.
i have 40k ward and cant get more since i perma need to dodge stuff 1,2k corrup rn
Ah, high corruption, yeah that would explain haveing to dodge 😄
ok and also this language filter on this disc and in game is sh1t
its draconian.
^It really is.
M rated game but it censors the most basic of swears
lemme have all my emojis
DONT SAY ITS DRACONIAN IN GLOBAL THO YOULL GET LAUGHED AT BY PEOPLE HAT DONT GET ITS MEANING
it even sensors trade or something in game and doesnt even let me send the message its literally a feature in the game by default xD
How can people now understand Draconian!?! Do they not read fantasy anymore 😛 ||Yes i know it's not really the origin of the word, but in my mind it's from the Evil Dragon overlords||
read? its 2k24 :p
it even censors things that aren't swears. I have no idea what word is being censored half the time.
facts
and it's not even effective at censoring the things that one might think should be. The only thing it does is annoy people trying to talk normally.
bans are hitting the game yall
favor rank / rep resetting too apparently
oh?
im not seeing anything like that?
ah, okay. I didn't realize that worked for cof as well.
but if they're only hitting cof players that abused an exploit, that sounds fair
As long as there's no official statements it's like trying to sift a river for gold.
if they're banning people, they should finish doing that before making announcements
yeah, like when you're arresting a criminal, don't want to let them know you're about to do that
playerbase has gone down 5k in 2 hours
we are getting into dangerous playercount numbers a bit soon
if they reset my ranks i SWEAR TO GOD IM gonna just grind out the levels again because im not very far
🤣
they would likely reset you to rank 1 lol
Stop, criminal scum!
You have broken the law
I AM THE LAW
NOW PAY WITH YOUR BLOOD
i only just got to rank 6 yesterday, id be mad but no mad neough to quit
Never should have come here!
alright time for some farmin
should we be wary of tooltip dps? like 1 combination of weapon affixes has a higher dps on tooltip, but another weapon with lower tooltip dps/combination of affixes does more dmg
yes
but also not for that reason
tooltip dps doesn't account for DR vs. a given target iirc
so
I think for the most part if you're using to compare 2 items that don't have like penetration or shred, then it should be okay
also valid
This guy got meteor working quite well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZDM8LfOW6g
Ive said this multiple times for people that misunderstand
you dont tho
but ill reiterate here for those that dont know
Tooltip dps is accurate. BUT its only targets with zero resistances of any kind
rip im getting close with swaddling over and over now
and it assumes all your multis are active
cast spd, attunement, crit avoid, dodge
last one was cast spd, str, crit avoid, armor/block
makes sense to me. accurate doesn't mean it's the final number
You can validate this with arena dummies
that i dont know
Is frozen malice on Frost claw tree worth taking?
Or should I just alocate all my points into spark of celerity.
i think that one is usually skipped
Ok thanks. Wasnt sure if it increased my dps or not.
You reallocated a lot of passives didnt you?

Trying to get an Unstable Core with LP is very painful
you want the experimental, but not at the cost of all the other stats
yeah definately but dunno how i could increase my chance to loot good ones 😒 Its exiled mage dependent and nothing i can do about right ?
i could even craft on them some
for rings, could i get julra?
just target farm exalted gloves
specifically solarum bracers
if you care to find it, you can find a guide for how to get an exper on your gear
^ use that
you want to get a solarum bracer that you can craft the exper onto
Yeah i saw that already but ive not glyph of insight 😒
just seal a bunch of trash experimentals
Tyring to get unstable core with 1 LP and decent stats is next to impossible it feels like.
mg
big easy
Ggs
lol got a unstable 1lp just now with 117% ele dmg, 110+ mana
39% mana regen
not bad at all
I can’t get a good unstable core or Ladle for anything. Kind of making me want to stop playing since my only other ones had busted slams
CoF is just not good enough
would you rather go T7 lightning crit multipler on head / armor or T7 int? This for forst claw charge
Yea just wondering about the T7 one out of the two. I got a piece of armor with T7 lighting crit mult and T5 int, and another with T7 int and T4 lightning crit mult (ran out of forge potential :(((( )

awesome, thanks!

If you use Song of the mountain, you can take int/cast speed and not use ranks of FC
@barren pawn where does bran comes from ?
ok sorry for disturbance just the node before :d

surviability or dmg?
cause your slams are kinda sadge so
i can see dmg being low as you get higher
98 int for 600 corruption seems kinda lowish
survi
yeah so you in part need better slams
int is rather low for that corruption
yeah i didnt have a good luck
you also have VERY low cast speed
eh int on the relic is fine
okai i need more too
yes but i need frost claw
see if you can replace your coral ring. I don't think you get a lot of value from it.
no you don't.
it's been proven that int is likely the better slam
okai u think is good without ?
replace with ? any suggest ?
you also need to rework your passives. there's a free 8% DR from the RM tree.
can u explain ? pleasy haha im not a pro on arpg game
there is a passive called sphere of protection at the start of the RM Passive tree
it gives a flat 8% damage reduction to targets affected by shock, ignite, or chill
okai im gonna look
if you are at a wall w/ 600 corruption, it may be better to drop down the corruption to where you can farm comfortably while you search for better items
damn, slammed a 3lp ladle and got crit multi, cast and lightning pen
didnt expect it to go lol
farming for a Ladle has got to be the worst thing in this game
then what points u remove?
how important is getting as close to the 14% elemental penetration with frost claw compared to the lightning dmg double if over 300 mana?
I never thought about having more than 300 mana as important 🙂
outside of some niche builds, its not
its important if you want the lightning dmg to double from the idol but im wondering how much it impacts the frostclaw nova build, especially if im taking the mana blessing over the lightning shred blessing
I would only use an idol requiring 300+ mana if I had that it without sacrificing anything
you quite literally only need 301 mana
and it works
Whats consider BIS for idols rn for the sparkcharge frostclaw build.
so overstacking beyond this point is a waste
yeah and in order for me to get to 300 mana i had to swap to the mana blessing over the lightning shred blessing
im using static shock and not unstable core since i got +3 frost claw
If I could put in any idol I wanted, not thinking about filling gaps in my gear, it would probably be +armor and lightning damage small idols or the ones with %armor
this is th eway
Or increased cast speed with light aegis
but I think I prefer defense
but cast speed = more ward
im glad i wont need to worry bout a ladle for a long while
maybe upgrade to 4lp in future, and get a nice 7/7 or 7/6 donor if i can
but yeah wont worry for now
If I could get anything, I would get increased frostbite duration 👀
will someone help me kill T4 julra? 😦
Huh?
I think he means which points to remove from the guide he's following that doesn't explain what to do without +4 in FC
Is anyone playing a DoT build?
I'm playing frostbite
If anyone is playing a DoT build Id like to get some inspiration 
I wrote a guide, interested?
Sure thing
Release / 1.0.5
Mage / Runemaster
Leveling / Cycle Starter / Beginner / Ranged / DoT
in the Skills section, I review a bunch of options that can be swapped in, so if you're looking for inspiration, that may be the place to look
Id probably try stuff with ignite, thanks Ill use inspiration from this
the reason I went with frostbite is because there's a really good way of making the damage scale, by using Snowdrift. If you're going ignite, the question to ask is how to do that.
frostbite is able to do double duty as damage and freeze. ignite lacks utility, imo
Yeah Im aware and snowdrift sure is great. Ill come up with something for sure
I'm a big fan of frostbite, let's you do big dots and the defence layer of the mobs can't move
just wanna say thank you for the amazing guide @sturdy summit you rock
🤗 glad it's working for you!
is there a better alternative to ladle for lightning nova frostclaw?
I'm not sure if it's better, but some people build around dragorath cast on crit
also, some people build around wrongwarp
wrongwarp would't be viable for it since i need flame rush for ice-fire-ice
yeah thinking of switching to this or ice frostclaw
so minion damage as runemaster I dont need?
true, you'd have to go CLC if you wanted to use tp with it.
correct. mages don't have minion builds.
awesome trhanks!
probably ice tho since i have some 2lp frozen ire and i dont like daggers xD
got any t6 spellslingers?
that's the slam you'll be looking for with ire
being able to use TP is a big reason I stay cold
I'm curious to try lightning, but I won't do it until I have no other choice
maybe I should spec my second runemaster lightning now that I don't need him for testing stuff
That's a lot of mana 😭
I'm just curious, but is there a runemaster or sorcerer build that can spread damage across all of his screen? At least that is known
I think it's fair to say all of them 🤣
especially anything based on frostclaw and elemental nova
LMAO So I guess my warlock has just a lot more focused damage, I dunno 😄
elemental nova can chain across an entire wave of mobs, and frost claw with the chaining nodes in the bottom left will fill the screen with projectiles in all directions.
no kidding the second i type that i get a 3lp ladle with ok stats i guess, but then i failed every t7 cast speed i had so now i have a 3lp with no fodder for it xD
hi. why is gambler's fallacy reguired for this build? i am missing something.... https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/disintegrate-runemaster-guide#summary-header
Offhand synergy
just the crit?
Just the tip
That amu makes you have 100 base, cant beat that
damn another t7 throwing atk spd and throwing atk dmg glove lmao
Imma stop you right here chief
There are better disintegrate builds.
point me to the right direction dear overlord

ok, i have exs, igniv. and julra's. rest i guess are farmable
why are people choosing the "Shred lightning resistance" blessing over the straight up "lighning damage" one?
so its better damage overall?
generally speaking, yeah
Just comes down to how the damage formula plays out with a decent build that gives you lots of increased x damage already
math never was my strong suit lol
Hey guys for frost claw builds is dragorath's claw better than the ladle?
oof got a idol for sentinel
healing effectiveness and chance to shred armor on fire hit
lil shits are expensive lmao
time for some soul runs
question guys, can we make a t7 affix from scratch/forge like for example +3 to frost claw?
In a fire reave spell blade build, how do you build 10 stacks of blade weave for your flame reave when the ratio of firebrand to flame reave is four firebrand then 1 flame reave for maxing that stack generation
oof
i thought my day was bad when failing 2 hearts lp1 with +3frost claws, now i feel you bro
Basic law of averages said I should have 2 by now
Basic law of averages told me to get bent
man, the probability of this game for that aint mathing bro
let me lie to myself
im not allowed to talk about my twisted luck lmao
Would y'all run ladle or frozen ire for frostbite fc?
I faintly remembering seeing someone said that ladle seemed to increase the dot on dummy
I have a t7 cast speed ladle and a frozen ire with -4mana and t5 freeze multiplier
🤔
Making a brand new one cuz my old one converted to lightning lmao
ladle will probably give you more dot but it’s the -4 mana cost that u wanna have , I pretty much was same scenario but I took -4 mana cost
😔
And gave up
i only got to early end game yday so only on 100c I already feel stuck 😭
Never found a single one, and merchant cost 50m each
😢
I've found plenty of -5 mana rings instead
I don’t have any of the uniques yet needed for frost claw build , I got a frozen ire w 1 LP but I don’t feel like it’s worth slamming w only 1
and atm I’m trying to farm frozen shackles but idk how long that’ll lost before I lose my mind on the grind
damn
So I really do need shackles
as soon as u said I don’t need unique I was so happy for a second
Yeah shackles alone boost ur survivability alot
I play on COF tho so all about the grind 💀😂😞😭💔🫶☠️
yeah survivability my issue rn in 100c
💀💀💀
my lord
the moment I get shackles I’m gonna bust
idk tho in my kit the only other proper piece I feel like I have is the snow drift
I farmed exiled mages and got cuckoo but affixes suck
Ah u have snowdrift
And by that it’s first prefix was “may permanently turn into a random exalted”
LOL cuckoo is a good qol but normal exalt bases are better for dps
oh fair fair
That sounds smarter honestly
It's what I did previously
Able to use exalt bases
But crest does help with survivability too
Yeah for sure
Rings I need ocearon
damn I need so many dang pieces
mg would be a lot easier 😭
But yeah the cold shred blessing prolly a game changer too
but these shackles , these damn shackles
My plan is simply using exalt rings 😂
And see how far I can push
Or how much before killing orobys becomes annoyingly long
Hey, question about spellblade build. So I’m flame reave main and I’m using firebrand for its awesomeness. I’m looking at the passives and blade weave looks great to get additional damage for flame reave. However, do I only want to put 4 points into it since I only get 1 stack per hit of firebrand and I do a cycle of 4 firebrand then 1 flame reave?
dw about that, more points more dmg but its not alot
spec that on the last few levels
if u have spare
I like the idea of going to 6 blade weave and doing 6 firebrand and 1 flame reave
I've done a bit of wandering and am no closer to finding my ideal LE build ;o Void Knight looked interesting, but the melee is jank or maybe I just don't "get it"
None of the spammable melee they get can be pure Void damage except Warpath (Whirlwind), which must have been intentional, and I hate Whirlwind in these games
I mean unless I'm overlooking something, which is entirely possible
Maybe my real issue is that skills seem underwhelming during the leveling process because I don't have ideal gear for them / good gear at all
I got tired of hunting Frey's Retreat for my Runemaster, but probably should have kept pushing
^
levels matter too
did you guys leveled beyond 100? if so does it still give you passive pts?
ayt thnks bro, i just noticed that my exp bar is filling very very slow, so i kinda think if we can go beyond 100
i just hit #1 in hc arena
i would have kept going, but accidentally portalled out
Oh there it is haha
Which build are you running?
mana strike
frost claw is better
you'd get like 4 times my ward with frost claw on this level of gear
i barely exceed 25k with my current setup
ty
I rolled back to plasma orb RM, frostclaw kinda bored me fast
Plasma orb is much better for group play with HH
But I believe hydra is better solo
I have played it when I first leveled my rm
But the dmg wasnt there really, specially for bosses
Also I was running really undergeared back then so I cant compare
i want to try something that is really good at killing in open map layouts
even if its not a mage
the falconer ballista exploder got nerfed
😩
Just got my twisted heart and trying to figure put how to play with it since it keeps draining my life. I know its giving ward but i get in precarious situations
you need to stack life leech as well
Ok does regen help at all or just leech
not going to help nearly as much as leech
Ok I’ll look for leech sources
unless you use vessel of strife but its the same slot as twisted heart
Avarice / Burning Avarice for starters
you can craft a leech mage helm (Tyrant Crown base)
Grand Hunger of the Void blessing gives spell leech
although you'd be sacrificing 40% crit multi
This is the build i am running. I can’t find any leech on it
sorc tree
rift bolt
Got ya, thanks!
oh yeah rift bolt
So just 1.5% may be enough if i have enough dmg
ex knows it all
i might try to make dragorath self cast frost claw work
it does work. playing it rn
i think it has a better top end than the ladle version
it just takes a lot to work which is annoying
but i believe i have found another viable route for it to work
and i am talking about the full drag's claw version which includes nova
its funny you did that build cuz i picked up a 3lp chest piece last night
can slap int on it lmao
ladle is str8 alot better tbh dont think its even close when fully optimized
also more versatile
tbh idk what even the point in running that version when even the ward gen is probably lower cause of the cast speed diff
closed circuit is the reason why
its not even very good tbh
ur already crit capped in most cases
and the increased dmg gain is really small with any real geare
it lets you drop all crit investment
and it gives me like 800% inc damage on my suboptimal mana strike setup
it might actually be bugged with how much damage its giving
it seems like its double dipping
dont need gaze for closed circuit tho
just use barbute or w/e i tis
still hit cap easily
idk about that maybe on bosses
ur not getting the bounces from ranged no?
or not all
but ya just seems like ur basically
saccing claw dmg too
3 LP what? urzil?
yeah
i thought bout sacking static and using it for a bit with drago
see if i like the setup
i slammed a good barbute and i got a good dagger as well yoshi
yeah if you get a good t6/t7 int, crit multi, and more light res on it
