strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 9:56 AM

#

no sadly

which isnt possible yet

#

if we had a lil better mana i could probably do it

#

well its probably possible for some1 not using manual invocation like me, but u need mountain boots

#

LOL

vernal finch Apr 17, 2024, 10:05 AM

#

does it use ele nova also?

#

i hate ele nova, dropped my fps to like 10-30

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 10:07 AM

#

frostbite takes the cold nova path only mostly

#

its possible to drop it too i believe some builds dont run it but idk

#

can run barrage instead or some other combination

vernal finch Apr 17, 2024, 10:08 AM

oh maxroll has one too, are there they any good

unborn hamlet Apr 17, 2024, 10:11 AM

Ele nova is there cos it doesn't have to be on the hotbar

#

And we can take snap freeze or something

#

I use a completely different skill set than phil

In fact I don't think I have a single perfect item

vernal finch Apr 17, 2024, 10:13 AM

cause i have to get t5 on other stat, and int must 24

rolling 24 int is hard

unborn hamlet Apr 17, 2024, 10:17 AM

The issue with that is it evaporates your mana

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 10:17 AM

w runic invocation

LOL

vernal finch Apr 17, 2024, 10:17 AM

how do u even play without flame rush? use teleport? or walking around

how u get it to 1.5, i t hink mine is still 6 sec or something

unborn hamlet Apr 17, 2024, 10:17 AM

I use runic to cast reowyn only, has 8s cd

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 10:17 AM

ya

unborn hamlet Apr 17, 2024, 10:17 AM

I can't do manual invocation

Too much brain required

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 10:18 AM

its p easy since u guys use frost claw too

honestly

LOL

just takes abit to get used to first

After all I'm a humble 3k 300 corruption build

kappa

unborn hamlet Apr 17, 2024, 10:19 AM

#

vernal finch can u perma freze oro without snap freze?

Oro is immune to freeze

#

You can only stun him

vernal finch Apr 17, 2024, 10:19 AM

#

yeah i mean made him not move / use abilities

unborn hamlet Apr 17, 2024, 10:19 AM

#

Not possible with freeze build, even with snap, I just use it to interrupt the heavy hitting spells

#

Besides that he doesn't really do anything to me

#

Only the poison one is annoying cos I have to dodge everything poison related

#

Both the poison line and poison spit is just instant melt, dead within 2 sec

vernal finch Apr 17, 2024, 10:21 AM

#

last time i fight him fair was 1300... now i 2200 i dont think i wanna try again, but cheesing kinda boring it takes like 3-4 min to kill him now LOL

#

i have alot of upgrade gear but idk if im strong enough lol

unborn hamlet Apr 17, 2024, 10:21 AM

#

Since I started to use sword swap to execute him it takes me like 50 second sto kill him

vernal finch Apr 17, 2024, 10:22 AM

#

sword is like 25%?

#

or something i forgot

unborn hamlet Apr 17, 2024, 10:22 AM

#

When he drops below the threshold , where he has the most DMG reduction, yeah, just execute his ass

#

Longest part of the fight just gets skipped

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 10:22 AM

#

its possible

unborn hamlet Apr 17, 2024, 10:22 AM

omegalul

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 10:22 AM

#

ukno the ice shield explosion

unborn hamlet Apr 17, 2024, 10:23 AM

#

It's not possible I told you

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 10:23 AM

#

u ice barrage and snap spam

#

even w dat?

unborn hamlet Apr 17, 2024, 10:23 AM

#

The mana is the issue

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 10:23 AM

#

i remember i was doing that abit w barrage

unborn hamlet Apr 17, 2024, 10:23 AM

#

You cast ice barrage like 3 times and you're done

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 10:24 AM

#

LOL

unborn hamlet Apr 17, 2024, 10:24 AM

#

It's too costly to spam it especially when you spam another spell that costs quite the bit

#

On my 180 mana pool as well

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 10:24 AM

#

unlucky

vernal finch Apr 17, 2024, 10:25 AM

vernal finch do u have video gameplay of your frostbite

Nope, don't think there is anyone running this build from the content creators either

#

And I'm kinda retired until next cycle,

vernal finch Apr 17, 2024, 12:46 PM

#

unborn hamlet Nope, don't think there is anyone running this build from the content creators e...

i was kinda curious of the damage compared to lightning

#

lightning should do more damage r ight, and have more ward?

#

but frost is like everything frezees

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 12:46 PM

#

depends on build

#

but frost should be better at killing shades/bosses but worst at clearing monos

#

as far as ward goes that depends

#

u can spec for more ward w shiver shell/reowyn's as frost

vernal finch Apr 17, 2024, 12:53 PM

#

whoa

#

last steep 2 m

#

2 LP 2m, average now 10m

No one rly playing sorc rn

i wana play sorc

vernal finch Apr 17, 2024, 2:13 PM

#

Was creating meteor sorc on first time, after lvl 80 switch to runemaster

😦

unborn hamlet Apr 17, 2024, 2:17 PM

#

vernal finch i was kinda curious of the damage compared to lightning

Lightning is upfront dmg

#

But once I ramp up stacks, I'm pretty sure frostbite absolutely sweeps the floor with lightning

#

Yea, monos mob killing is not as fast, but it's by no means slow either, at least for now, but on bosses it's not a comparison

vernal finch Apr 17, 2024, 2:19 PM

#

Stacks mean the damage overtime ?

unborn hamlet Apr 17, 2024, 2:19 PM

#

What do you do with lightning, 15-20k a hit? With pretty decked build? I can stack frost to deal 110k+ per dot, + the FC DMG itself is around 10k a cast

#

It's not like cold FC is weak, you just don't have all that extra crit dmg

#

As for ward, the same thing, generally I get 20k ish ward in monos, and up to 50k on boss fights depending on the boss

vernal finch Apr 17, 2024, 2:20 PM

#

I don't even see the number these days maybe I should check again

unborn hamlet Apr 17, 2024, 2:21 PM

#

If I can freeze the boss like the dragon, he won't even touch me all fight

#

I just walk in and he is permanently stunned till he dies

vernal finch Apr 17, 2024, 2:22 PM

#

The real thing is like shade

unborn hamlet Apr 17, 2024, 2:22 PM

#

I can do 3k shades in 50 seconds m8

#

Trust me, the DOT just evaporates Bosses

vernal finch Apr 17, 2024, 2:22 PM

#

Dragon is like ez, I can afk and tank it, deals like only 500 on his largest skill

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 2:22 PM

#

just depends on type of boss

#

for big bosses like dragon lightning does alot of dmg

#

but for smaller bosses where u cant overlap alot of spark charges

#

wont be as much as frostbite

unborn hamlet Apr 17, 2024, 2:23 PM

#

The only boss that's absolutely cringe is the bird in stolen lance, and the big spider dude in that one timeline nobody does

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 2:23 PM

#

either way though bosses are basically dummy tests

unborn hamlet Apr 17, 2024, 2:23 PM

#

They move too much

#

And have a lot of invulnerability frames

#

Shade depends

#

And on the skills they cast

#

I generally just tank everything but poison

#

And snap freeze the big hitting stuff

#

For mods I mean 300 Corr ofc, no nerfs needed here

#

"This is nearing the actual limits of the game due to the HP multiplier. I tried to see what would happen at 500k corruption and the HP of the boss exceeded the Int value that HP is presumably being stored in and it died instantly."

#

str8 up from the OP tho

"I tried with frost claw at 10k and still got 1 shot by some mechanics even with 150k ward. And with the lower damage output, so it takes minutes instead of seconds. I may try a few other classes for fun, but i dont expect anything will come close to the marksman during this cycle."

Why would they do it har, it's not like huge damage, even my suboptimal rogue blade dancer do alot more damage

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 2:37 PM

#

cause monolith clears

#

way i see it

#

all the popular busted builds will get rolled

#

and anythin not as pop mite survive

#

LOL

#

who knows if that means sparkcharge nerfs or frostclaw nerfs

#

or they might make it so ele nova cant be procced by frost claw

#

hopefully whatever they end up nerfing is that type of interaction

#

instead of nuking the whole skill but yea

#

LOL

vernal finch Apr 17, 2024, 2:39 PM

#

There 2 way to see it

All other skills are bad

Or the meta is overturned

I hope they buff underused skills instead

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 2:41 PM

they just needa make invocations busted kappa

#

we dont wana be sorc 2.0

I hope they something. Worst for me would be no changes. Just boring 🙂

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 2:42 PM

100% invocations should be the centerfold of RM

#

and it's not

digital musk Apr 17, 2024, 2:53 PM

#

Gonna be very hard to do that imo

#

One will just be best and ppl will use nothing else

#

There's too many and so many are useless as it is, and considering you need skills in-between you aren't gonna be trying to use lots of dif ones as it'd just tank kill speed

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 2:59 PM

#

yeah i think there was a missed opp here to like

#

"attune" to a specific invocation by way of the idols they so painstakingly created lol

#

idk what the solution is but

#

it would be cool to have multiple runes generated on skill usage that has mutliple element tags too

#

instead of it defaulting

digital musk Apr 17, 2024, 3:01 PM

#

It just needs to be heavily simplified

#

So you can make only 3 things that matter instead of 50 things that don't and..3 that do

#

Idea is awesome but it doesn't work

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 3:03 PM

#

yeah fair

digital musk Apr 17, 2024, 3:04 PM

#

Usually I'm against simplification but there's just no way to balance this many options for 1 button

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 3:05 PM

#

i mean they just needa add better utility ones

#

like cfc

#

then ppl who wants to optimize have to add those

#

just needa be on a longer duration so its feasable

#

rn outside of cfc

#

every other buff is useless outside of the frenzy ones

digital musk Apr 17, 2024, 3:05 PM

#

You'd just use the best utility one tho

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 3:05 PM

#

u would use multiple

digital musk Apr 17, 2024, 3:05 PM

#

Which could be 1 of the 3

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 3:05 PM

#

if there was multiple

digital musk Apr 17, 2024, 3:06 PM

#

I dont think they'd let u sit there and pre cast x buffs perma

#

Would be kinda boring too

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 3:06 PM

#

it's simple to fix that tho

#

you just make it override the other buff

#

ez

#

but i dont agree w/ having more utility in the button

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 3:06 PM

#

dont needa precast

#

its for monoliths

#

you'll just be rotating between em

#

they needa be littered around different rune types doe

#

like lets say 2 damage buffs

#

on completely different runes

#

so regardless of ur build u can do something extra

#

stuff like that

digital musk Apr 17, 2024, 3:08 PM

#

My napkin idea is aoe/st/utility button for all 3 elements

#

3 possible combos

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 3:08 PM

#

some had that

digital musk Apr 17, 2024, 3:08 PM

#

Generate em however u want idk

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 3:08 PM

#

like hydro/ingenious

#

but they just arnt that strong sadly

digital musk Apr 17, 2024, 3:08 PM

#

Nah I mean 1 each

#

Aoe rune, st rune, utility rune

#

Final rune used is the one that's activated or something

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 3:09 PM

#

doubt they'll completely rework that

digital musk Apr 17, 2024, 3:09 PM

#

Same

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 3:10 PM

#

easiest way will just be to giga buff a bunch of them

#

or make em interact with eachother

#

like if u have plasma orb and u use X invocation

#

ur orbs do 2x damage

#

do that to multiple

digital musk Apr 17, 2024, 3:10 PM

#

Getting into probably a similar amount of work as a rework there tho

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 3:10 PM

#

tru

#

and honestly am assuming ppl wont enjoy it 2 much if its complex either

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 3:11 PM

#

tbh i would love

#

if i could do something like

#

use plasma orb

#

then use trinity of elements

#

and instead of the orbs circling me

#

they become to beams

#

or some wild sht

stiff crown Apr 17, 2024, 3:12 PM

#

Good thing there are other classes they can play for the dumdums

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 3:12 PM

#

yea thers a buncha stuff u can do to make em interact w eachother

#

rn though all invocations are p much separate

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 3:12 PM

#

p sure if RM doesnt get meaningful changes to invocations ill likely just play sorc -shrug-

stiff crown Apr 17, 2024, 3:13 PM

#

RM being a high skill cap / high reward class would have its appeal. But right now it's pretty one button like most classes until high corruption

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 3:13 PM

#

yea and tbh at that level of corruption

#

most wud rather just not bother w the extra buttons to make it abit better

#

LOL

#

its not like we talking 500 corruption vs 2k

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 3:14 PM

#

yeah think that's why plasma orb was so successful at high corruption in groups

#

because you can remove part of the thinking (HH Pally)

#

lol

#

never really even have to cast CFC if you have HH pally

#

or support in general

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 3:14 PM

#

honestly i think biggest reason is taht rm was bugged af in beta

#

so ppl thought plasma still op

#

on release

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 3:15 PM

#

plasma was very good when you scaled it like Empy did

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 3:15 PM

#

and the frostclaw buffs were ridic

stiff crown Apr 17, 2024, 3:15 PM

#

If they made invo do more damage as long as you don't repeat the last 4 or so invos up to a cap, that'll be cool

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 3:16 PM

#

it just needs to be better to interact with

#

cus rn it's not

#

lol

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 3:16 PM

#

i mean look they even have a passive for that kuri

#

that passive that gives u more runes

stiff crown Apr 17, 2024, 3:16 PM

#

I know

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 3:16 PM

#

if u dont repeat

#

make it 20% more dmg

#

and it stacks

#

LOL

stiff crown Apr 17, 2024, 3:16 PM

#

That's what I'm getting at, but make it base, not a node

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 3:17 PM

#

additionally, 2 of the skills in RM are just dead weight

#

1 is 50% deadweight

#

and 1 is 94% dead weight

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 3:17 PM

#

LOL

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 3:17 PM

#

forgot there are 2 other useful invos

#

lol

#

no one plays runebolt really in endgame, it's useless for the most part. They even have fkn uniques for it and those are bad

#

Glyph is god awfully tuned and useful in like... kyo's dis build and thats it

#

maybe in a supp RM build too

#

frostwall is 50% useless. unless you're puru

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 3:19 PM

#

kappa

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 3:19 PM

#

everyone mostly runs flame rush and runic for the same 2-3 invos

#

(1 invo only if you're puru)

stiff crown Apr 17, 2024, 3:19 PM

#

I think pip uses rune bolt?

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 3:19 PM

#

pip figured some ish out but hasnt been playing

stiff crown Apr 17, 2024, 3:19 PM

#

He does runebolt frostwall

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 3:20 PM

#

yeah but i never understood the purpose of it rly.

#

i guess for the runeweaver buffs

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 3:21 PM

#

i mean that buff isnt that great sadly

#

u would prob only use runebolt if u want to invo

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 3:21 PM

#

yeah it;s like

#

21% dmg multi, 12% mana regen, 120% mana gained as ward

#

or some ish

#

and then a 0.5% stacking buff based on shred

dull cairn Apr 17, 2024, 5:14 PM

Any tips on how to improve my volcanic/frozen orb sorc? I'm hitting ~3-5k crits per shrapnel

so what are the pros and cons to running crest of unity over prismatic gaze when doing the Runemaster Frostclaw Nova build?

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 5:48 PM

#

there are none

#

only cons

grand karma Apr 17, 2024, 5:48 PM

#

is prismatic gaze just that much better?

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 5:48 PM

#

crest of unity causes too many bugs and has not enough stats imo over gaze

grand karma Apr 17, 2024, 5:48 PM

#

wait, what bugs?

#

ive been using it on my frost variant for a while but ive never encountered any visual bugs

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 5:50 PM

#

i never said visual

#

there's issues with it interacting mechanically w/ nova

#

issues w/ ailments, mana cost, etc

grand karma Apr 17, 2024, 5:50 PM

#

i mean fair, but those would be the only one that i would be able to recongize or see

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 5:51 PM

#

the + skills isn't worth it imo

grand karma Apr 17, 2024, 5:51 PM

#

i mean i suppose. I just like pumping it as much as possible because i love the skill. But then again theres only so much you can do to it before getting diminishing returns and all that

#

how about the Static Shell vs Unstable core?

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 5:53 PM

#

very high corruption gameplay uses static shell over unstable

#

since you gain a 2.xx multiplier on your armor

grand karma Apr 17, 2024, 5:54 PM

#

heard. at that point would it be a good decision to swap out static orb for static?

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 5:54 PM

#

what build are you playing that you use static orb lmao

grand karma Apr 17, 2024, 5:55 PM

#

its not the frost claw frostbite build. Its a static charge one

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 5:56 PM

#

i have NO idea what build this is lmao

#

i no of 0 builds using static on FC Nova

#

or looking to generate static charges

#

you cook this yourself?

grand karma Apr 17, 2024, 5:57 PM

#

no. its one i found online. Hold on and ill link it for you https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/QeYqvPqQ

spare pendant Apr 17, 2024, 5:57 PM

#

I went and looked and its none of my work

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 5:58 PM

#

lol dr3ad sees static and goes "yep that's me"

See FC Nova "Jk nope not I said the fly"

spare pendant Apr 17, 2024, 5:58 PM

#

this isn't even a static build

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 5:59 PM

#

oh spark charge

#

not STATIC charge

#

huge diff there

spare pendant Apr 17, 2024, 5:59 PM

#

it isn't spark charge iether

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 5:59 PM

#

lmao

spare pendant Apr 17, 2024, 5:59 PM

#

its looking like cold crit

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 5:59 PM

#

nah it's spark charge

#

FC Spark charge nova

#

FC is converted to lightning and it uses enigma

grand karma Apr 17, 2024, 5:59 PM

#

no i meant like... Since static shell has the static skill bonus i didn't know if it was worth swapping since it has static orb

spare pendant Apr 17, 2024, 5:59 PM

#

oh wait

#

holy crud

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 5:59 PM

#

lol

spare pendant Apr 17, 2024, 5:59 PM

#

I was looking at that sorc

#

the volcanic orb one

#

lmao

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 5:59 PM

#

lmao

#

i didnt even bother w/ that one

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 6:00 PM

#

grand karma no i meant like... Since static shell has the static skill bonus i didn't know i...

oh nah

spare pendant Apr 17, 2024, 6:00 PM

#

we are talking about 2 completely different builds kekw

#

ok thats why I was so confused

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 6:00 PM

#

yeah makes more sense now lmao

spare pendant Apr 17, 2024, 6:00 PM

#

speaking of builds

#

I did find a new one

#

for runemaster

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 6:00 PM

#

o?

spare pendant Apr 17, 2024, 6:00 PM

#

you can actually make the ice vortexes in glacier deal damage

#

the buff that frost claw gives is inherited by the ice vortices

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 6:01 PM

#

spare pendant you can actually make the ice vortexes in glacier deal damage

@full bluff this is your domain. I know you were testing glacier a bit

spare pendant Apr 17, 2024, 6:01 PM

#

they get huge

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 6:01 PM

#

interesting

spare pendant Apr 17, 2024, 6:01 PM

#

I did a character found playthrough of it in CoF and I am already at 500c so we been gaming

#

considering my gear is pepega

full bluff Apr 17, 2024, 6:01 PM

#

I never got them to work 🙂

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 6:01 PM

#

grand karma no i meant like... Since static shell has the static skill bonus i didn't know i...

You could keep using orb if you wanted, as the static proc on there just isn't worth it

grand karma Apr 17, 2024, 6:02 PM

#

i mean the build that uses orb only uses it for the auto cast on runic invo and doesn't even put but 13 points into it...

spare pendant Apr 17, 2024, 6:02 PM

#

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/oXW19dwB that is currently what I have. Remember this is essentially a fresh character after like day 2, my gear is garbo @safe grail

so i was wondering if i couldn't find something that utilizes it a bit more

spare pendant Apr 17, 2024, 6:03 PM

#

my int is so dramatically low for no reason other than CoF is funny

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 6:03 PM

#

COF just be like that

spare pendant Apr 17, 2024, 6:03 PM

#

part of the reason I am doing this is to learn CoF

#

but yeah that build is actually doing very well

grand karma Apr 17, 2024, 6:03 PM

#

thought im 75% sure that i cant do that and keep reowyns frostguard

spare pendant Apr 17, 2024, 6:03 PM

#

the clear is pretty good because the ice vortices are huge

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 6:03 PM

#

grand karma thought im 75% sure that i cant do that and keep reowyns frostguard

how does invo cast orb?

#

o spell cascade

#

i c

grand karma Apr 17, 2024, 6:04 PM

#

yee

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 6:04 PM

#

spare pendant the clear is pretty good because the ice vortices are huge

This is interesting because

#

I have looked for something to put on sorc lol

#

instead of playing RM

spare pendant Apr 17, 2024, 6:04 PM

#

you could do this on sorc

#

so the way you would

#

is go mana stack, get your crit up

#

and abuse the 1% mana on crit

#

get your mana to like 500

#

then you have perma mana uptime

#

but I didn't go for this because I am CoF

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 6:05 PM

#

yea

spare pendant Apr 17, 2024, 6:05 PM

#

i would 100% do that in trade

full bluff Apr 17, 2024, 6:05 PM

#

How long does the ice sprials last each cast?

spare pendant Apr 17, 2024, 6:06 PM

#

funnily enough the % chance to gain mana back on frost claw is carrying my mana sustain

#

right now it feels like 4 seconds

#

from what I have tested

#

even if they get eaten by terrain

#

I cant post images god dang

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 6:07 PM

#

spare pendant and abuse the 1% mana on crit

wait what does this?

#

i got lost here for a sec

spare pendant Apr 17, 2024, 6:08 PM

#

critical rejuv in glacier

#

you can use peak of the mountain and the base crit inside glacier to cheese 100% crit

#

then stack mana till you get enough

safe grail Apr 17, 2024, 6:08 PM

#

i was just gonna say

#

peak abuse

#

lol

full bluff Apr 17, 2024, 6:10 PM

#

If only the vortex was a hit 🙂

#

thats what I got wrong last time I tried it

#

4 casts / sec with glacier, 2x vortex, stacks up a lot fast in those 4 seconds

85% reduction is the hard cap for phys but you will get harsh diminishing returns around 10k

Fair! Eyeballing it, i think 6k (after 1k from flame ward) might be doable if i test out some of the weaker but higher lp uniques i have stashed. Thank you!

full bluff Apr 17, 2024, 7:01 PM

#

I can use dual black holes with collapse as aoe blind, not sure if it is useful yet 🙂

#

and the disapointment when the animation area isn't the actual hit area

sturdy summit Apr 17, 2024, 7:10 PM

#

they should make it so two black holes that get too close to each other will merge into a single black hole, releasing a massive burst of gravitational waves

#

maybe make it so the second black hole moves faster, so you can play black hole billiards

full bluff Apr 17, 2024, 7:18 PM

I have a free spec skill slot on sorcerer, trying out different options for it

spark fireball, all converted to lightning

#

maybe try static orb, top left node charged allies

#

if ur mana can sustain it

#

assuming it works the way it says it does

#

should make ur shock pen 2x as strong

full bluff Apr 17, 2024, 7:22 PM

#

Will try it now, I have mana to spare

#

black hole was not it 🙂

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 7:22 PM

full bluff Apr 17, 2024, 7:22 PM

static is also up

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 7:23 PM

#

u can run storm burst so it always pops in ur melee range

#

bottom right

full bluff Apr 17, 2024, 7:31 PM

#

static orb works, added quite a lot of damage

#

my biggest issue on this sorcerer is ward and def

strange flicker Apr 17, 2024, 7:32 PM

#

should be free 25% dr

#

as far as ward goes doe

#

LOL

#

i think fireball especially sucks for ward

full bluff Apr 17, 2024, 7:45 PM

#

Now to try num lock discharge of static

full bluff Apr 17, 2024, 8:00 PM

#

almost instant cooldown on static, enabling spamming it on groups

full bluff Apr 17, 2024, 8:27 PM

I ended up with elemental nova, manual cast with the large area and cooldown, sparks. To trigger chain reaction on groups. Ranged casting nova

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/Ewalt/character/Bobbei
can someone explain this build to me? this is the highest rated spellblade using a two-hand sword on last epoch tools and i can't understand why, really. i feel like 538 freeze rate wouldn't be freezing much at higher arena levels so what's the point? shatter strike and teleport aren't even spec'd into freeze rate to capitalize on it at all, either. would 64% chance to chill on hit stack enough to bump the freeze rate by a significant amount by using the oceareon ring modifier? the +4 in teleport was interesting as well. the build also seems to be a ward/health hybrid while not taking advantage of the frostbite shackles, much. can someone help me understand? any spellblade build using a 2h sword is dope to me and i wanna learn more about them

strange flicker Apr 18, 2024, 5:39 AM

#

seems all over the place

#

i wouldnt take his gear choices are optimal or anything

#

for one the +4 teleport is completely useless in his case

#

might just be what he had so he went with it

latent tide Apr 18, 2024, 5:40 AM

yeah that's the conclusion i came to as well but i was hoping i missed something. unfortunate

strange flicker Apr 18, 2024, 5:41 AM

sadly spellblade isnt popular so you cant really look at rating

esp when its some sub 1k arena

unborn marten I need help.... i got a DROP! of 4LP i only play since 2 weeks is there someone ...

can always go bazaar and check by lowest price, if i remember correctly i dont think firestarter torch worth much

unborn marten Apr 18, 2024, 8:01 AM

#

ok i mean it starts with 7 mil

unborn hamlet Apr 18, 2024, 8:03 AM

#

7mil is basically a drop in a bucket, in terms of item cost

#

firestarter torch can be used in the fireclaw build, but it needs a bunch of other specific items just to make the build do anything consequential while something like spark charge or frostbite do much more with far less items

unborn marten Apr 18, 2024, 8:06 AM

#

but why can you maybe explain that please?

unborn hamlet Apr 18, 2024, 8:06 AM

#

the entire thing is dead stats for frostbite

#

might as well just buy exalted weapon with the stats u need

#

and have it for future slam

#

than slamming it into firestarter and killing the item

unborn marten Apr 18, 2024, 8:06 AM

#

So selling and going for Betrayal Crit or endgame is better?

unborn hamlet Apr 18, 2024, 8:06 AM

#

you have nothing to trigger spreading flames with

#

u have no use for fire damage

#

u have no fire spells that need reduced mana

#

i havent read entire guide of philip

#

so im not sure what he wrote there

#

but frostbite doesnt need any crit

#

once ur endgame and have the correct passives and items, u are critting nonstop to begin with

#

i recommend either Crystal Wand with cast speed/ele dmg over time or cold dmg as prefix with freeze rate and chance to chill as suffix

#

or Ice Sceptre with Spellslinger and cast speed as prefix and same as suffix, cold pen as suffix also works but its not as impactful

#

for a weapon

I've been trying to figure out added spell damage and I've seen different answers from EHG, could someone clarify this to me: I have a fire tagged spell but I wanna scale void damage with it. I get a bunch of added void spell damage and on top a bunch of "adaptive" added spell damage. Will the adaptive damage turn into just fire spell damage based on the tag or distribute the damage between fire and void based on the ratio of those damage values?

glass sinew I've been trying to figure out added spell damage and I've seen different answer...

if u respec the skill to do void dmg

its tagged as void

#

and adaptive spell dmg turns into void dmg

unborn hamlet if u respec the skill to do void dmg

This I can't do as a Mage.

unborn hamlet Apr 18, 2024, 8:15 AM

#

what skill is in question?

#

or rather, is it an item that turns it into void dmg?

#

u are talking about that one belt?

strange flicker Apr 18, 2024, 8:16 AM

#

the void damage wont scale

#

will just get added tot he spell

#

adaptive will just be fire

#

void will just get added to the base as void

#

but it wont change how the skill scaling is

i just see him as a smart card guy with 0 idea about how to play other games, even if hes good at them omegalul

glass sinew Apr 18, 2024, 8:21 AM

#

Yeah I noticed that aswell. He's doing it a bit differently but it definitely works to add spell damage of another type to the spell and then scale that "untagged" type with increased % dmg.

#

This just confuses me, from EHG ekimarcher:

"Things generally get tags when they add base damage to that specific spell or convert the spell. It does not give the spell void tag, it just adds void spell damage to it.

Adaptive spell damage distributes itself proportionally to the ratio of the spell you are casting.

A spell with 10 fire damage and 10 cold damage would get even split for adaptive damage. A spell with 10 fire damage and 5 cold damage would get 2/3 of the adaptive spell damage as fire and 1/3 as cold.

Almost all multi element spells are even split."

#

Found it on reddit from 2 yrs ago.

strange flicker Apr 18, 2024, 8:25 AM

#

thats for spells that have multiple elements

#

if you look them up generrally they have something like 30 cold dmg/30 fire

glass sinew Apr 18, 2024, 8:26 AM

#

Ah I see

strange flicker Apr 18, 2024, 8:26 AM

#

when u add adaptive dmg

#

it gets split

glass sinew Apr 18, 2024, 8:27 AM

#

In other words, with my plan to scale "untagged" damage, it's pointless to get adaptive damage. Gotcha, and thank you!

problem is the ward is abit 2 low for my liking

still acn probably do like 4k corruption w it

#

but i test em on 6k+

#

and u kinda get nuked

and man frostclaw is just 2 good damage wise/ward gen wise

still i think its probably the 2nd best spark charge build

so u get aegis w/o investing skills

w high rate it should be decently high uptime probably

Last time I tried elemental nova manual cast, single target was the issue

strange flicker Apr 18, 2024, 9:56 AM

can get like 48% chance to proc aegis

#

and just nova from range

#

yea ik what u mean w single target but i still think if u go super deep in nova tree

#

w increased dmg and stuff

#

can be not bad

#

idk about bosses/shades havnt tried

my issue with it is that it makes manual invocation control rly annoying

since the runes are mixed up

Any exp runemasters about? I have a question.
Does the lightning blast ability Effluent defense proc ward when LB is cast auto from frost claw, therefore taking into account the mana used from frost claw?
Thanks in advance.

strange flicker Apr 18, 2024, 10:29 AM

pretty sure it would only count the mana spent by lightning blast only

#

and generally for most nodes

if it doesnt say directly casting, it means proccing it should work

because thats how it is

i give up

also how does glyph of order works

i had tier 4 that has range 10-15, my tier 4 was 15, so it was higher, trying to use order glyph it said upgraded to 20, when the max of tier 5 is like 25......... like whats the point if dont give me max, it was supposed to be give me max roll right, since my tier 4 is like maxed

nimble shoal Apr 18, 2024, 12:03 PM

unborn hamlet its weighted to remove the highest tier

No it's not. It is evenly weighted.

Just feels much worse when it hits a high tier affix, so it feels like it's more common than it is

I'd only recommend using removals for actual crafting when the item is absolutely bricked already and can only be saved by a good removal hit

unborn hamlet Apr 18, 2024, 12:13 PM

#

nimble shoal No it's not. It is evenly weighted.

they can say whatever they want about this, the devs, i trialed this on many many many many many many items, and its definitely liking the T6/7 affixes way more than anything else

#

i had 2 100 item samples, and both ended in about 55% of removing the exalted affix, do with this info what u want

at the end of the day

if its not a 100%

its a 50/50 GigaChad

you either get it or u dont

40% of the time it works every time

muted valley Apr 18, 2024, 1:35 PM

#

vernal finch so basicly useless glpyh

It is not useless I use it all the time. If you have a t7 affix you need to reroll to get higher you can upgrade your 2nd affix to t4 then reroll the t7 affix to get a near max value. If you get a good roll on your t4 affix you can use glyph of order to guarantee a high value and if you rolled low just upgrade and hope for high roll.

Nope, all "unlimited" ailments cap out at 999.

#

rich plinth Nope, all "unlimited" ailments cap out at 999.

That's sad. I thought it was just a limitation on the UI 🥲

#

Also, is snapshotting a thing in this game? That is, if I buff myself and then apply ailments, will they continue to deal more damage even after my buff expired?

safe grail Apr 18, 2024, 8:58 PM

#

rich plinth Nope, all "unlimited" ailments cap out at 999.

this is factually incorrect

since Frostbite can stack above 999

Guys, sorry for so many questions, first time playing mage 😛

Frost Claw has a node called "Lava Talon" that converts it to fire, and it also says that chill chance from all sources is converted to ignite chance. Does that literally mean ALL sources?

You don't see the conversion in character sheet

#

It happens on the spell itself

astral zenith Apr 18, 2024, 10:17 PM

really, oh that explains it

#

So I can rest assured that any chill chance from items/blessing is actually getting converted to ignite?

unborn hamlet Apr 18, 2024, 10:18 PM

#

It's a skill node, not a class passive

#

Blessings don't count for that iirc

#

Or was it buffs that don't count, I don't remember

"global"

astral zenith Apr 18, 2024, 10:19 PM

Here's the node text description:

Frost Claw's base cold damage is converted to fire. Consequently this damage scales with increases to fire damage, but not increases to cold damage. Chill chance from all sources is converted to ignite chance. Swaps Frost Claw's Cold tag for a Fire tag.

unborn hamlet Apr 18, 2024, 10:20 PM

No global mentioned huh

~~well there is no chill chance buff so the wording is irrelevant in this case, but generally it only counts for items and blessings~~

i think alota these skills are just str8 up weak

not even a mechanics thing

its just some skills do no damage compared to others LOL

full bluff Apr 19, 2024, 12:48 PM

#

yes, thats what I feel too. Just too weak compared to the hazzle to make it work

#

Like static hits 5+ monsters for 20-30k

#

pretty short range

#

if it was screen wide range and 100k+

#

and I am comparing static for fireball, not even frost claw 🙂

#

and the utility part of the skills are weak, I am trying to turn static into some kind of utility, not for damage

#

the ward is weak, the +spell damage is for 1 cast only

#

and when/if I get my static spamming going, I am out of mana fast 🙂

#

I like the Stormchaser idea, you have to keep moving to build charges, move and kill for more charges.

#

Stop and the storm ends

strange flicker Apr 19, 2024, 12:57 PM

#

i think alota these skills got nuked during beta or sumthin

#

like static orb too

#

all seem just super weak

#

thats why it ends up being basically, good utility value=we can try the skill

#

no utility tied to it or buffs=useless

#

its like blackhole

#
