sturdy summit
#

increased void resistance is dumb. increased cold resistance would be super broken

#

completely out of line

warped crow
#

it doesnt even work

sturdy summit
#

I'm sure it's because they decided not to implement it

#

and forgot to remove it

warped crow
#

like not only is it worded different it doesnt even do waht it says it does xD

#

but ye

sturdy summit
#

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?

warped crow
#

ye

sturdy summit
#

quadratic scaling for cold resist, however, would be completely nuts

#

because that's quadratic scaling for ward ret

warped crow
#

necrotic would be cool too

sturdy summit
#

yeah

warped crow
#

warlock xD

sturdy summit
#

or, gasp, lightning

#

imagine if mana regen were good

warped crow
#

plz buff mana

glacial cedar
#

for spellblades, do you tend to focus on int, dex, or both?

warped crow
#

probably int cuz it scales ward retention

glacial cedar
#

i thought so too, also prodigy passive gives +ward per second depending on int

warped crow
#
  • it still scales dmg just not as well as dex
#

yeee

#

i forget is frostbite shackles a boss drop or can you rune it?

hollow arrow
#

boss i think

#

formoses or w/e his name is?

warped crow

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

barren pawn
#

Posting an actual, online guide, just gets it clowned on by people memeing about the skill

sturdy summit
barren pawn
#

Unless your name is volca, or your build is on maxroll

hollow arrow
#

blue moses

warped crow
#

lol

tame isle
#

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?

hoary basalt
#

I like disintegrate okay except the visual is awful to my aesthetics for some reason

warped crow
barren pawn
#

its a massive chunk of DR

barren pawn
tame isle
#

ah ok. makes sense now i couldnt find it then

hoary basalt
#

Maybe

tame isle
#

i know what it is but nothing said what actually gives it

hoary basalt
#

I think two characters per season/league is enough

#

My Rogue was a lot more fun

sturdy summit
#

because your first experience with it is by getting those idols, probably

hoary basalt
#

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

warped crow
#

yeeeee kinda

#

oof

hoary basalt
#

I got a bunch of Primalist drops so maybe a third

warped crow
#

either its bad or its a support skill lel

#

or both

hoary basalt
#

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.

warped crow
#

i meant sorc

hoary basalt
#

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

warped crow
#

meteor needs a better tree lowkey

hoary basalt
#

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

warped crow
#

ye

barren pawn
#

we dotn know if theyll make it better or worse

#

my HOPE is better

warped crow
#

LOL

barren pawn
#

and kains wording makes it seem better

hollow arrow
#

one full tab of soul keys

#

i need to run that more lmao

barren pawn
#

the amount of misinformation about dis is wild too

#

everyone and their mothers seems to think its tooltip dps is bugged

#

and its not

warped crow
#

not bugged in a good way or a bad way?

plain glade
#

It does a lot of damage

#

And I haven’t even specced into it yet

barren pawn
#

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

warped crow
#

lol

next lance
#

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.

warped crow
#

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

next lance
#

I guess? What i meant is often that specific metric isnt helpful

stiff crown
warped crow
hollow arrow
#

14% mana effi with 32% double lightning dmg

#

oof

#

might swap out a armor/mana one for that

barren pawn
#

thats literal perfection for me @stiff crown

#

i will literally buy them roight fekkin now

I'm LL build too

barren pawn

barren pawn
#

kains words not mine " we want to make disintegrate stand on its own "

proper hawk
hoary basalt
#

Yeah I'll probably make a disintegrate fireball mage next season

hoary basalt
#

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

stiff crown
#

lol

barren pawn
#

nah serious

#

name a price bruddah

strange flicker
#

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

barren pawn
#

dis cant shred as it is

strange flicker
#

then its basically same

barren pawn
#

which is why pen is so needed

strange flicker
#

yeah i mean pen is op

stiff crown
#

I dunno. I was going to use slam them. Put some Hybrid HP and see if I can get a 20%

barren pawn
#

pen takes a monster that has say

barren pawn
#

and see if my dmg goes up even tho i lose crit

glacial cedar
#

so how much pen do we need in general

stiff crown
#

I'm pretty sure if I put it on the market for cap, I'd sell pretty fast

strange flicker
#

theres no number

#

the more the better

barren pawn
strange flicker
#

it can go in the negative

#

so no matter how much pen u have, it'll add dmg

stiff crown
#

People still have gold

sturdy summit
#

resist pen is just more damage

stiff crown
#

You can see what your ward would be with a ward calc

barren pawn
stiff crown
glacial cedar
#

how do i make spellblades more tanky? go lowlife ward build?

#

im still trying to make a surge focused build lmao

hollow arrow
#

what gloves

barren pawn
#

I have literally no idea what my ward per second is

stiff crown
#

You doing resting ward or combat ward?

barren pawn
#

either works, combat just has me add what double proc on fw adds

hollow arrow
#

ohhhh 2lp unstable

#

ez monies

somber merlin
#

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

stiff crown
#

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.

stiff crown
#

Oh yea...

knotty skiff

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.

isnt that just the standard frost claw nova one

empty stream
#

close but im trying to work in some extra funny uniques

#

the gloves and amulet in particular

strange flicker
#

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

barren pawn
#

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 )

empty stream
#

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

strange flicker

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

im really just trying to find a build with a bunch of rare uniques i can just work on minmaxing after work each day

but as far as optimizing goes

theres a doc to check your frostclaw mana situation

barren pawn
strange flicker
#

so u can optimize the tree more

barren pawn
#

im a disintegrate main

strange flicker

am sure u can drop some celerity points maybe

#

for more dmg etc

empty stream
empty stream
#

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

strange flicker
#

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

@barren pawn do you use fire disintegrate or lightning out of curiosity?

#

I was tinkering with a disintegrate build idea

barren pawn
#

aesthetically and in practice imo

barren pawn
#

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.

pale cedar
# barren pawn Lightning is just better

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?

barren pawn
#

And wdym by 60% dmg loss?

pale cedar
#

oh i wa sgoing to take the node which mnade it gain 20 mana per second but loses 60% damage

pale cedar
barren pawn
#

Laser focus is NOT worth it

#

You dont run out of mana while killing

#

and for bosses / when you do, you have focus

pale cedar
#

Noted! Do you take the multi beam which splits it into two?

barren pawn
#

Yes, as it gives you more damage when both beams hit than the hit you take

pale cedar
#

Tyty, ill tinker around it it!

glacial cedar
#

anyone here also experience flame ward not activating sometimes when you press it?

stiff crown

#

Feelgoodman

fluid bone
#

maxroll is so far off on some guides, I lost trust pretty quickly

crimson raft
#

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!?!

fluid bone
#

Yeah make it like ghostflame where you levitate

split yacht
#

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

crimson raft
#

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.

split yacht
#

alr then ig with 47% from 50% im pretty good to go

fluid bone
#

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

split yacht
#

ah ye

crimson raft
#

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"

fluid bone
#

Right, I'm sitting at 378% increased lightning damage. so another 67% is barely 20% increase

barren pawn
fluid bone
#

You're not really moving when you cast FC either. Who are these zoomy bois and what are they suing

stiff crown
#

Plus you got shock on top of that

barren pawn
#

yeah it feels good

Is shock the ailment that looks like stun? I was wondering why monsters were getting stunned

@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

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

safe grail

also valid

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

#

how important is getting as close to the 14% elemental penetration with frost claw compared to the lightning dmg double if over 300 mana?

full bluff
#

I never thought about having more than 300 mana as important 🙂

barren pawn
#

outside of some niche builds, its not

fossil night
#

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

full bluff
#

I would only use an idol requiring 300+ mana if I had that it without sacrificing anything

barren pawn
#

and it works

rough python
#

Whats consider BIS for idols rn for the sparkcharge frostclaw build.

barren pawn
#

so overstacking beyond this point is a waste

fossil night
#

im using static shock and not unstable core since i got +3 frost claw

full bluff
#

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

full bluff
#

Or increased cast speed with light aegis

#

but I think I prefer defense

#

but cast speed = more ward

maybe upgrade to 4lp in future, and get a nice 7/7 or 7/6 donor if i can

#

Id probably try stuff with ignite, thanks Ill use inspiration from this

sturdy summit
#

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

and shred res can go below 0 iirc

old vine
#

so its better damage overall?

safe grail
#

generally speaking, yeah

stiff crown
#

Just comes down to how the damage formula plays out with a decent build that gives you lots of increased x damage already

old vine
#

math never was my strong suit lol

#

I slammed 8 or more shackles and didn't get freeze multi 😭

Hey guys for frost claw builds is dragorath's claw better than the ladle?

hollow arrow
#

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

knotty wind
#

question guys, can we make a t7 affix from scratch/forge like for example +3 to frost claw?

old vine
#

no can only craft up to 5.

#

tier 6 and 7 must be found as drops

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

mossy turret
#

I failed 8 LP1 Twisted Heart +3 frostclaw slams

#

I give up lmfao

hollow arrow

oof

Basic law of averages told me to get bent

man, the probability of this game for that aint mathing bro

mossy turret

let me lie to myself

hardy loom
#

Ig that means ure .. under average

#

Unluck

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

sharp furnace
#

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

hardy loom
#

Icic

#

I failed 3 slams for t7

sharp furnace
#

😔

hardy loom
#

And gave up

sharp furnace
#

i only got to early end game yday so only on 100c I already feel stuck 😭

hardy loom
#

Never found a single one, and merchant cost 50m each

#

😢

#

I've found plenty of -5 mana rings instead

sharp furnace
#

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

hardy loom
#

Oh u don't need unique for this dw

#

U do need the cold shred blessing asap

sharp furnace
#

and atm I’m trying to farm frozen shackles but idk how long that’ll lost before I lose my mind on the grind

hardy loom
#

Ah yeah shackles is the only game changer

#

Good luck

sharp furnace
#

damn

#

So I really do need shackles

#

as soon as u said I don’t need unique I was so happy for a second

hardy loom
#

Yeah shackles alone boost ur survivability alot

sharp furnace
#

I play on COF tho so all about the grind 💀😂😞😭💔🫶☠️

hardy loom
#

Even as a clean unique 0Lp

#

I grinded for a few days back as cof only found 1

sharp furnace
#

yeah survivability my issue rn in 100c

sharp furnace
#

my lord

#

the moment I get shackles I’m gonna bust

hardy loom
#

XD

#

The difference is huge

sharp furnace
#

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

hardy loom
#

Ah u have snowdrift

sharp furnace
#

And by that it’s first prefix was “may permanently turn into a random exalted”

hardy loom
#

That's good it's the main dmg scaling unique

#

For frostbite

sharp furnace
#

Oh I also have crest of unity

#

But that’s it , those the only correct ones

hardy loom
sharp furnace
#

oh fair fair

hardy loom
#

I'm going for the full cold

#

So no colorful novas

sharp furnace
#

That sounds smarter honestly

hardy loom
#

It's what I did previously

#

Able to use exalt bases

#

But crest does help with survivability too

sharp furnace
#

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

hardy loom
#

😂

#

I've some good gear but cof tagged

#

Oh well

hardy loom
#

And see how far I can push

#

Or how much before killing orobys becomes annoyingly long

versed forum

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?

hardy loom
#

spec that on the last few levels

#

if u have spare

versed forum
#

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

knotty wind
#

did you guys leveled beyond 100? if so does it still give you passive pts?

strange flicker
#

no doesnt give anything

#

and ur exp bar just resets back

knotty wind
#

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

Grats!

#

Change that name then 😅

robust gorge
#

i would have kept going, but accidentally portalled out

cedar ocean
#

Oh there it is haha

robust gorge
#

wave 266

#

previous was 250, and he died

cedar ocean
#

Which build are you running?

robust gorge
#

mana strike

cedar ocean
#

Ahhh I've seen it a few days back

#

Nice one

robust gorge
#

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

cedar ocean
#

I see, I see

#

Grats on rank 1!

robust gorge

cedar ocean
#

I rolled back to plasma orb RM, frostclaw kinda bored me fast

robust gorge
#

i want to try hydra

#

need that fullscreen clear

cedar ocean
#

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

robust gorge
#

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

hollow arrow
#

ohhhh rank 1

steady folio
#

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

robust gorge
#

you need to stack life leech as well

steady folio
#

Ok does regen help at all or just leech

robust gorge
#

not going to help nearly as much as leech

steady folio
#

Ok I’ll look for leech sources

robust gorge
#

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

rift bolt

steady folio
#

Got ya, thanks!

robust gorge
#

oh yeah rift bolt

steady folio
#

So just 1.5% may be enough if i have enough dmg

hollow arrow
#

ex knows it all

robust gorge
#

i might try to make dragorath self cast frost claw work

safe grail
#

2 LP ladle w/ VERY good rolls

#

lets goooooo

safe grail
robust gorge
#

i think it has a better top end than the ladle version

safe grail
#

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

hollow arrow
#

its funny you did that build cuz i picked up a 3lp chest piece last night

#

can slap int on it lmao

strange flicker
#

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

robust gorge
#

closed circuit is the reason why

strange flicker
#

its not even very good tbh

robust gorge
#

its OP

#

it stacks infinitely

strange flicker
#

ur already crit capped in most cases

#

and the increased dmg gain is really small with any real geare

robust gorge
#

it lets you drop all crit investment

strange flicker
#

u still have to get gaze

#

the only real gain u get is 1 neck slot

robust gorge
#

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

hollow arrow
#

dont need gaze for closed circuit tho

#

just use barbute or w/e i tis

#

still hit cap easily

strange flicker
#

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

hollow arrow
#

yeah

safe grail
#

LOL

#

is it a good roll?

#

cause ill scoop it from you

robust gorge
#

ok its giving like 600% inc dmg there but still

#

thats nuts

hollow arrow
#

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

robust gorge
#

im not hitting proc cap on LB either

#

not even close

hollow arrow
#

so im tempted to try it lol

#

14 str and 18% light resist

#

is what i rolled

safe grail
#

yeah if you get a good t6/t7 int, crit multi, and more light res on it
