any sorcerer experts on rn? I need help for a build I'm trying to do but my knowledge in skills and passives is very low
noble reef
any runemaster disintegrator here?
that build has to be a zero crit build cause critting make you a zero dps
how do you prevent glyph explosion hit to crit?
i watched the tree and there is no option to do so
unborn hamlet
Happens when you have the tab Minimap open, and you hover over enemies that get spark charge applied on em, dunno why
barren pawn
any runemaster disintegrator here?
yo
first off
( cult classic movie )
Second off
you dont
you learn how to deal with it
noble reef
i had a disintegrator sorc long ago which i loved
thinking that they designed a skill tailored to support disintegrate which crit and there is nothing you can do about it makes me question how much they actually know about their own game lol
barren pawn
its really a non issue
you really rarely even use the glyph outside of bossing and or mages

we oldschoolers used ascension

ascendance?

again what?
noble reef
well whatever you got me
barren pawn
I have no clue what youre talknig about lmao
noble reef
should be ashamed
barren pawn
Should be ashamed i dont remember the name of abilities on a mastery i dont use?
suuuure
I am a runemaster.
noble reef
no you should because i had to check on it
unborn hamlet
😂
noble reef
Which is disintegrates best mastery
yeah fun facts
there was a time runemaster didn't even exist
unborn hamlet
Isn't arcane ascendance just extra int and mana
barren pawn
We dotn exist in this time tho.
This is " full " release.
Hypotheticals from the past dont matter anymore

noble reef
Isn't arcane ascendance just extra int and mana
extra dmg too
unborn hamlet
It's a passive tree thing no?
I vaguely remember it cos I think I use it
:5head:

its an honestly crappy synergy for disintegrate
which requires you to spec into a worse mastery

We are hardcore aRPG junkies, playing legacy characters 🤮

okay well the " new school " is rocking glyph because its an even bigger damage boost

damn dragging this conversation is giving me aids
yeah that is obvious now runemaster is the way to go
hence my starting question
now sorc is basically good for nothing

People still play legacy ?

sorc is good for plenty.

not very many no
barren pawn
sorc is good for plenty.
just sorc specific builds.
noble reef
just sorc specific builds.
i think 90% of builds are just better on rm

only reason i can think is using meteors, but c'mon...

meteors and....?
barren pawn
brother you literalyl cannot play any of the more interesting sorc or spellblade builds as a rm
self explanatory

then say " i think 90% of SORC builds are just better on rm "
Which is still a falsehood lmfao
noble reef
running in circles aren't we
noble reef
Which is still a falsehood lmfao
meteors and...?
which is sorc specific (since i have to stress the obvious it seems)
looks like i'm talking to a broken ai
everything sorc does rm does better this is my assumption
now pls don't say meteors

arcane ascendance kinda bangs

Correct.

sorc still pushes 1k corruption

problem is that you'd push 1.5k with the same equipment

junior hollow
on a rm

aint noway u cant do 2k on sorc
strange flicker
cause end of the day
i think sorc can still kill every shade ez
if u cheese it w giga cdr
just need more gear than rm
junior hollow
even more
strange flicker
but ya u just will get gatekept abit more at the super high end corruption
cause less DR
but thats really high corr realistically
strange flicker
ya i mean u do everything rm does essentially
rm just more versatile/better high end
noble reef
thing is they have to rework sorc passives and maybe change some of its deep tree skills if they want it to be an option again
junior hollow
changed from minion to combo based at some point?
noble reef
then they changed their minds and just released a sorc 2.0
junior hollow
didnt know that

they are kinda redundant
barren pawn
FC shouldnt be so powerful as a BASE SKILL
strange flicker
the whole gimmick should be about ur runic invo skills
also in general they needa buff some of the other runic invo skills
and add more/stronger buff skills
not just deffensive
the idea should be to rotate between buffs/dmg skills
and maintain stuff like that
rn majority are useless
and u just focus on 1 and the shield
near cedar
I think the armor shred from the "melting nova" node within elemental nova has great value. But still no public postet build takes this node no matter the build (frostclaw varientes). How is that
strange flicker
cause
its not worth adding armor shred that way
cause for 1 ur not doing enough novas to actually add that much shred
and 2nd ur other passive shred
prob adds way more value
than wasting points on that
near cedar
The other options on the elemental nova is just more area while the area is allready huuuge with that infernal nova node
strange flicker
i mean as far as dmg goes shatter nova is prob best, but u dont rly need the dmg from it
but i guess for bosses etc u can drop the whole fire nova side
and take that
barren pawn
armor shred on hit is simply better
and makes the node not worth
You bet you butt if disintegrates " ticks " counted as hits id be rockin shred
THIS IS A DAMN GOOD WAY TO ACTUALLY MAKE THE SKILL BETTER
GIVE US A NODE THAT COVERTS IT TO HITS

anybody got any thoughts/tips for an aoe lightning blast build?
i really REALLY don't wanna use convergence (to make it single target), but i dont know what other options i got for single target
PS: starting a new online character, played during the beta, so any specialization works
OR i would be open to trying another class, as long as i can have some sort of chain spell
full bluff
You want to avoid the so called "meta" builds?
full kraken
i dont really care much about meta
i read about several builds online and so on
i really just wanna have fun, and i have fun with chain spells

I made a chain reaction sorcerer build that uses lightning blast, spark charges, spark novas and frost claw
Lots of things that trigger eachother
Chaining between monsters
full kraken
hmm, that sounds interesting, very interesting
what's spark charges? the static spell?
full bluff
More monsters = bigger chain reaction
full kraken
More monsters = bigger chain reaction
im already loving how it sounds lol
oh wait the charges is the passive thing that puts a bomb type debuff iirc
full bluff
You lightning blast chains and frost claws create spark charges, the charges exploed, creating spark novas, that explodes and create spark charges
and so it goes

that dagger casts lightning blast

does it cast it WITH ALL ITS SKILLS? or it just casts a base version?
full bluff
all skill tree, chains and everything that is not specified as on direct cast
full kraken
ah cool just opened the skills tab and realized you did exactly what i was wondering about
skilling LB just for the buffs of it
that's really really cool, thanks so much 😄
full bluff
I sometimes add more chains to it, for faster clear
full kraken
im not a fan of meteor, so ill prolly drop that and skill focus instead, and add lb to the bar as a dead slot, which is fine
but this is a really cool build, thank you so much

You don't need to add LB to your bar to indirectly cast it with the dagger

Hello I have a question, I don't know if this is the right place to post it.
Here is my current build: https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/AVNE86dA
The red rings says 10% Damage reduction if attributes are above 180 (on this tab i have 31+20+108+10+15 = 184) and when I go in Defense stats, Damage Taken is still at 0% instead of -20%, am I missing something?

Hello I have a question, I don't know if this is the right place to post it.

you cannot rely on LET for that. LET takes the avg of the rolls.
you should total up your stats in game and see if they are >180
unborn hamlet
you should total up your stats in game and see if they are >180
u can click on Actual
on bottom left
safe grail
yeah i did and it was still wigging out
unborn hamlet
and as long as its pulled from an online char it will be exact stats
unborn hamlet
the question is if the dmg reduction shows on the stat sheet
since its an item passive
safe grail
oh no
it's still not showing
like he def has 184 stats
and it's not showing the dmg reduction
safe grail
it does on other parts of the site
unborn hamlet
u can simply test it by taking one of the rings out which drops him below the treshold
and see how much dmg he takes
another thing is
its a unique
do they stack to begin with
harsh walrus
It works when I click on « Max » for example it appears in the def tab
When actual it doesn’t appear
Even if I have more than 180 attributes

For the omnis it is trash because low roll or I should use something else?
unborn hamlet

harsh walrus
Yes
harsh walrus
😅
unborn hamlet
For the omnis it is trash because low roll or I should use something else?
u have plenty of stats on skills already the +1 omnis is not really helping u
the rolls are really bad
ur probably better off with something like a Bone Amulet
harsh walrus
Ok ill Check that but the res are useful with all the uniques I use ^^
unborn hamlet
u can get free +20% all res in reign of dragons
harsh walrus
Already have it (only at 14% tho)
harsh walrus
Yes missing 15% 😄
unborn hamlet
yeah so
1 idol for 15 on one
1 for the other
2 small ones to cover the third
u get 1 T5 ele res on a ring or necklace
and ur capped on everything
harsh walrus
right (like I said, still learning 😄 )
unborn hamlet
yea, also
Bone Amulet also has Phys and Necro res
from item base
phys necro + ele res on bone amulet ur covered on everything but poison and void
void and Poison u can cap with idols,
unborn hamlet
the thought process behind this is that u can trade out ur badly rolled omnis for an amulet , that even if u use 1 stat for the ele res
u still have 3 spots to amplify ur dmg open
also, i think using prismatic gaze over crest of unity for helmet will greatly help with the dmg
harsh walrus
I was using prismatic gaze before
but crest of unity is getting all 3 elements out of nova everytime
unborn hamlet
that might be true, but its not exactly increasing ur dmg in any way
simply spec into the electric version for spark charge, all u need
but i guess prisma gaze too expensive on MG
harsh walrus
But what the planner does not show is that I have 95% crit chance for lightning skills
or I might be mistaken
harsh walrus
🤣
unborn hamlet
its a multiplier for the base number
harsh walrus
ooook ^^
unborn hamlet
if u mean ur idols
prisma gaze is strong cos it gives u 4% flat
which get increased by all the multipliers
stiff crown
Set the planner to calculate Lightning Blast dps, then see the crit on that
Don’t rely on the offense tab
harsh walrus
Set the planner to calculate Lightning Blast dps, then see the crit on that
Ok thanks
harsh walrus
prisma gaze is strong cos it gives u 4% flat
I see 🙂
harsh walrus
I saw that 😅
Might have to try to go back to prismatic glaze but the +5 level to elemental nova was great too
unborn hamlet
ele nova is not really doing much by itself
u just need the 100% chance to apply spark charge from it
nothing else
harsh walrus
Ok I think I do not understand completely my build 😄
Maybe I should go back to the build I was following and no try anything by myself
unborn hamlet
u can despec the entire bottom
thats -6 points
and put that 1 extra point into the spark charge
so its 100%
and i see u have 1 unspent point too, put that into Cryomantic fragility to maximize reduced nova cost
harsh walrus
Currently I do not have mana problem
unborn hamlet
then its fine
harsh walrus
https://www.lastepochtools.com/build-guides/novaclaw-spark-charge-runemaster
At beginning I was following this guide, but I tried to modify a little bit but seeing your comments I might stick to that a little more ^^
steel oasis
always modify and play your own way and if you agree with the guide follow it because they might have the same solution you come up with
but too many people play the lego way and its much more fun to experiment
harsh walrus
Yes but apparently my tries to modify hurt the build 😄
unborn hamlet
i also modified the build im following, but i have 175H of playtime with the build already

when you're looking at head, body, and relic affixes, I suggest not using that particular interface in LET. Go into the build planner, and add an item.
if you look at the general list, you will be flooded with the affixes for every other class
harsh walrus
Thanks for the tip 🙂
carmine seal
oh.. so if you proc a skill through an item you still need to pay the mana cost. pity.. thought it would bypass meteors insane manacost 😄
steel oasis
isnt there a way to do that still
carmine seal
i dont know, i lack the experience with the game. not sure if could sustain this, so far it doesnt really feel like it 😄
steel oasis
oh no thats mana back on potion per recent meteor
steel oasis
that less damage is nice
unborn vault
tbh that item feels bugged. it states that crits from meteor dont trigger the effect, but direct cast meteor casts certainly do trigger. Also, not getting any mana spent as ward from triggered meteors feels mega bad.
carmine seal
thought id try to get it to work. not very successful so far 😄
unborn vault
i had it on my mage, main dmg skill (direct cast) meteor with additional meteors per cast (which dont seem to count towards mana from potion, nor dmg mitigation). The only thing it did was completely emptying my mana pool once i hit a big enough group of enemies with a meteor and critted all of them (+400 mana always crit node)

If you don't want frostbite, then there is fire, which is probably even less damage

I think frostclaw is better for applying frostbite than is lb, because you get 5 hits per cast

I dunno, you should try to figure out why you're not healing, because you'll be getting a lot more ward if you're converting your max hp rather than 30% of it.
try using bleeding heart
quiet folio
Is it correct to say in terms of damage and damage potential: Lightning -> Fire -> Cold? For Runemaster?
Seems most lightning skills have higher base and lightning is better supported in uniques and passives
sturdy summit
Fire is the worst of the three
cold is easier to start with, lightning goes farther. I don't want to say one is better than the other. They're different.

hmm indeed

ah actually im stupid i been just looking when there werent enemys ye if i attack enemys i lifesteal or get hp back

oh yeah, you gotta be hitting enemies

but sometimes i drop cause i even attack when nothing there to maintain ward
sturdy summit
that happens to me sometimes, but I try to stay high health as much as possible. I don't think trying to work timeglass into that would be a good use of stats.
split yacht
but does runemaster not have any good unique, that would be better than the oracle one?
sturdy summit
omnis 
no, not really
a good exalted
oracle is a good one, but not the only good base you could get

with the ele nova build
bleak wind
I actually feel that Nova does not help much against bosses, it is only really powerful trash clear. So i just take off the Nova trigger nodes from frost claw when fighting Orby. Speccing into freeze instead.
You might lose out a small % of damage, but you gain more fps and visual clarity that you can now do bosses much more comfortably XD
sturdy summit
nova still contributes ward, but yeah

u running unstable or static?

hollow arrow
and it's mostly the avian enemies, or the phoenix
nimble shoal
but that is definitely another texture overlay like freeze is, so it might just be their overlay system in general got bugged out from something
sturdy summit
yeah, I'm not sure if it's freeze or something else, but magenta is commonly used as the default texture when the engine can't load one.
full bluff
It is also the color for stuff being warped out of time

i think it's the freeze
i remember seeing it when i snapped freezed enemies in the starter areas

Anyone know what unique gives + skill points to frost claw? Maxroll shows 25 points in the tree but i cannot see where they get 5 more points from

There's a affix that you can put on an item that gives points to frost claw
Gives lv to frost claw + spell dmg %, applied only to relics

ah thank you. prob rare af -_-

not rare just expensive tbh
you could try weaver relics for mages, they have a chance to roll frost claw affix

FAQ Question on why I don't have frost claw ranks recommended on the relic

why is it the most common question we get here, then?

it's easy if you're rich

oh, okay, fair. that is the most common

but for sure it's either you need to be rich to buy/fund failing multiple twisteds
or get super lucky like i did and land both one with int and one with fc lmao

yeah, I wanted to provide a path for people that didn't require any skill ranks, or +1 at most
that way, once you do get one, it's just a bonus, rather than stopping you from knowing what to do

so for lightning blast is it better to go for the dual cast and quad cast or go for the chain lightning node? I'm trying to build a sorc around pure lightning skills.

cost is 3 currently and I'm getting by with it. It's really early though and I'm just doing this to get an idea of how much difference there is between dual casting, quad casting, and how many times lightning blast can chain damage wise.

Why do I sometimes lose lightning aegis almost instantly after casting static orb?
I don't think it's from taking damage

it's almost always taking dmg
sturdy summit
does ward count?
I guess it must be from dmg
if it's going away on 25% of max health, but counting damage to ward, I might not notice I'm taking that small an amount of damage
stiff crown
yes, ward counts

not only does ward count, its not even the ward %
its ur hp % of dmg taken
on the ward
so it drops from 1 hit realistically vs any real corruption

robust gorge
i think it still mitigates the entire hit though
so if you can reapply it then you still benefit
actually im not 100% sure on that, its hard to test

Aby tips how as runemaster with long CD spells increase DPS against bosses/rare monsters? Armor shred wont work becasuse slow attack speed (i wont stack proper amount).

is the %life/ward affix important on twisted heard?
quiet folio
Just a fun experiment rather than a prolly working build but...how large can you actually scale things on Runemaster? Especially Glyph of Dominion. Theres so many things increasing the area, in passives, the skill itself. Plus it gets additional area from Fire Aura as well via that Unique Sword.
Screenwide Glyph explosion? 😄
would make it hard to NOT stand in the glyph lol
..oh and Herkirs Vessel Relic has another +60%
That'd mean in total:
120% Passive to Fire Aura
60% Herkirs Vessel
3x 36% Idol
90% Glyph's Tree itself
24% generic Increase to Area
Thats already a 300% increase in area and that thing is huge itself
and that doesnt include area increase on gear yet

Anyone ever tested builds similar to Plasma orb RM, with some other 3spell invocations?
strange flicker
ur only real choices are plasma/ingenious/hydro which imo is dogshit
rest are semi runic invocation builds nothing like plasma builds that super focus on it
cedar ocean
I've gotten my plasma orb to around 1.4k corr, also clearing over 2k with hh support
Was wondering if any other build could be good in that area
strange flicker
not rly probably, problem w alota those invocations is either not very good damage or not very good clear
like ingenious probably does really good st damage
but dat aint doing anything in monos
cedar ocean
Hmm I see
safe grail
only reason palsma orb is even as good as it is, is due to the item support and scaling it gets
strange flicker
maybe theres some
fire frostclaw builds
where u semi focus a lil on runic
to get more dots/spreading flames or sumthin
but realistically
just worst version of the other builds
cedar ocean
Understandable 😄
strange flicker
honestly at super high corruption damage u take is rly fukin high
ur best defence is having insane armor/ward
or u will legit die in 1 shots even w ur dr up
like those stupid ass embermages that drop a mini fire nova
cedar ocean
Yeah I am at like 3.6k armor after teleport
strange flicker
can basically 1 tap me almost
cedar ocean
And everything hits hard af
strange flicker
yea problem w runic is that u gotta invest 2 much in gear
to get the best out of it
instead of investing that into stuff like static shell etc
ontop of being less safe tbh
cedar ocean
Yeah and there's not much you can swap for other gear pieces
strange flicker
being that close to do dmg is kinda sus
cedar ocean
As staff and armor are mandatory for it
strange flicker
well its mandatory cause the dmg otherwise wouldnt be great sadly
cedar ocean
Yeah :/
I really liked that a bit more "complex" gameplay
Rather than frostclaw spam
cedar ocean
Around 10k
cedar ocean
But dodge gets up to 80-90% which helps in most situations
strange flicker
yea
strange flicker
problem is
the type of dmg that becomes problematic
isnt dodgable
esp the case when u have to be somewhat close enough in range for those flame breath dogs
and other mobs
or those eyebeamers
which i assume cant be dodged
cedar ocean
Oh yeah I hate those
strange flicker
and dodge being a huge part of ur defense kinda ends up being abit int in some situation
strange flicker
but ya i would say incorp frostclaw builds for solo
u can choose 1
and run enigma
and prob still m,anual runic
thats what i do
and depending on ur claw type u can try to focus on some runic invocations
like for eg
if i was a frost claw cold user
cedar ocean
From what I saw playing FC, runic was only used for Reorwyns shield
strange flicker
i would focus on aergon's mirrior bolt alongside my frost claws
to stack higher ward
esp if i was a crit cold dmg
prob wud run flame wall
and spam that alongside frost claws to get the extra ward
etc
cedar ocean
At the moment I am also trying to get some better pieces for my frostclaw build, but not sure how likely that will happen haha
strange flicker
ya but those are the basic builds
if u rly wana optimize it u can manual cast it
cedar ocean
I see I see
strange flicker
and u run enigma on runic invocation for the blink
so u open an extra skill slot
and from there u choose w/e
cedar ocean
I'll most likely reroll for some alts for this cycle and see how other classes do
Not sure which tho haha
strange flicker
unless u go for those new classes
cedar ocean
Not sure what can come close to that
strange flicker
i mean warlocks/falconer ofc
falconer if anything has better aoe clear
and more dmg
just less safe prob
and idk how busted ballista is post nerf
prob still is
strange flicker
explosive ballista i assume if its dmg wise, probably for monos? but about safety now
ik that russian dude was doing 4-5k corruption on it prenerf
LOL
cedar ocean
Ill definitely check it out if I like that haha
I am not really interested in pushing that high corruption tbh
1-1.5k is my goal and I am happy haha
Just want it to be relatively fast paced
strange flicker
i think for that most classes have builds for it
would just look at some gameplay
some classes are really simple rotation wise so u mite not like
cedar ocean
Will do!
strange flicker
nothing gonna be like runemaster doe gameplay wise
cedar ocean
Thanks for the info puru
strange flicker
w runic invo
cedar ocean
Yeah for sure
Will definitely check the ballista falconer then
And see how I like that
cedar ocean
Hmmm I see it was nerfed in some of the previous patches
But still viable really around 1k corr
Might try that 😄
quiet folio
only reason palsma orb is even as good as it is, is due to the item support and ...
Well the body scales the other runes as well, can focus on Attunement for big Fire Damage or on Strength for big cold damage. The Dex/Plasma Orb scaling is just a bit better as it helps with defense via dodge rating. At the same time, for example building a Fire Focussed build via Attunement would give you a ton more mana+regeneration to be able to use damage to mana things etc
Especially that body armor is absurdly strong
minor wasp
there's some other proc based things that can kick off that scale w/ spell power...
Ok so I think I'm ok if I don't aim to stack it? I'm going down the shatter strike path, fire (cold) aura would benefit but no enough to focus on stack spell damage I guess
safe grail
fire aura sucks anyway
but yeah. even if you went down the procs for like icicles in shatter strike, you still wouldnt stack it imo
minor wasp
Next question. What holds more weighting. Cold damage or Melee Cold damage?
And is just flat 'melee damage' without a cold tag something to be avoided?
safe grail
loaded question; Melee cold dmg is flat
cold dmg is increased (multi)
having too much but not enough of the other is not conducive.
safe grail
yeah it's p much only avail on swords
quiet folio
And is just flat 'melee damage' without a cold tag something to be avoided?
If its both % its the same, +100% melee cold damage is the same as +100% cold damage, just the later works on spells as well. If one is flat the other percent yea thats a huge difference and flat is typically better
safe grail
they arent
strange flicker
flat is always better if u talkin
safe grail
melee cold only exists as flat
quiet folio
melee cold only exists as flat
melee fire does exist, didn't know cold doesn't :d
strange flicker
cause esp for melee skills their base damage is low from what i hear
but yea in probably most cases increased is less value unless ur giga stacked
safe grail
melee fire does exist, didn't know cold doesn't :d
yeah both exist
minor wasp
What about 'melee dmg'? (No elemental tags). Useless?
safe grail
but melee cold doesnt exist as anything other than flat
strange flicker
melee damage means adaptive
safe grail
^
quiet folio
yep
minor wasp
So melee dmg > melee cold (flat) > cold damage % increase?
quiet folio
Its like this:
Specific Element Damage -> Elemental Damage -> Specific Type Damage
In terms of max achievable rolls.
minor wasp
The dream would be to get both melee dmg and melee cold damage as both prefixes on weapons right?
safe grail
no
quiet folio
ie if you concentrate just on %Melee Fire Damage you get the most out of it compared to like going for %Elemental
safe grail
you need flat crit on weps
if going shatter strike
or you're dead in the water
shatter strike has a lot of valuable nodes to scale crit w/
recast node, crit multi w/ swords node
it's why shatter strike plays either crystal swords or humming bees. that's really it
crystal swords give you the added bonus of a melee attack speed implicit
so it's like having 5 stats on a wep before sealing
minor wasp
Lots of good info there thanks all
minor wasp
Yikes
safe grail
yeah
minor wasp
You can equip 2 of those?
safe grail
not the greatest but i only played up til 1.0 dropped then abandoned it
ye. i think i creationed them
so i have 2 lol
i'd actually probably run something like
t6/t7 flat crit
over the melee dmg
you'll end up having so much increased % dmg that it'll balance back out i believe
minor wasp
Just get one to drop with T7 of both. Simples
safe grail
ezpz
strange flicker
am actually thinkin about dropping +4 claw to +2 and getting 16 int
since i have excess frost claw points
minor wasp
I knew I had another question and it's just come back to me.....
Shatter Strike scales with both Intelligence and Dexterity, which one is weighted better or are they weighted the same? In which case I need to search for +all attributes I guess?
safe grail
weighted the same 4% additional dmg
the true weight is dependent on what type obuild you do
for instance; if you go nib + Mourningfrosts you would favor dext more for the cold pen from frosts
if you went LL, you'll favor int more for ward ret
