🧙┃mage

[nimble rover]

why

[tight wadi]

only 27% more csm isnt gonna do much in comparison to other more valuable affixes

[nimble rover]

i mean its almost best prefix you can get

so idk what are you talking about but ok

[carmine hazel]

yeah Mana and Crit dmg is crazy good

[tight wadi]

okay, they only have t5 on the csm, could have gotten an exalt and also i would much rather have pen for whatever my dmg type is, i'm not saying csm is bad at all, just that i would prefer something else in its place given that on an amulet it's roll is quite low

[south yoke]

what would be better for static orb FC build?

what i have to aim for in amulets

[abstract abyss]

Is spellblade not garbage anymore

[nimble rover]

it depends. it can be Strong Mind/Orian's Eye/Nihilis/The Confluence of Fate

[south yoke]

and what about affixs for LP slots

[weary hamlet]

You now gave a few good passives but sb specific skills still suck, mostly

[carmine hazel]

We can argue forever, Is it perfect NO, Is it Good YES

[tight wadi]

😄 when did i say it wasnt good?

[nimble rover]

crit multi/mana/shred

[south yoke]

i got this from the thing that spawn in maps and you empower

[carmine hazel]

hrmpf

gonna take a walk xF

[nimble rover]

it is very good yes. need to slam it in the peak or something dodge is meh ofc

[carmine hazel]

base could be better

it will take you a looong time before you change it

BTW anyone saw + 4 to meteor ?

[cold sand]

How often does the "gravity guile" node from Black Hole deal damage? It's a physical hit, so it should be able to crit and cast meteor, but I can't find info on how often it triggers. If it's only like 1 hit a second it's useless, but if it's 10 it might be useful

[carmine hazel]

base interval 0.3 s, but I think it cant crit

[cold sand]

That doesn't seem to count for the node, though. That's just for base BH

the node specifically says it's a hit, and phys, which that tooltip doesn't reflect. Which is why i was asking if anyone knew, I already tried checking the site lol

[carmine hazel]

man If Only I could log in ....

[bronze dune]

Disintegrate's Infernal Ray node converts lightning damage into fire damage and it loses the lightning tag. I noticed if I have flat spell lightning damage on an idol, it still increases Disintegrate's damage. I thought that losing the lightning tag means it does not scale off of lightning anymore.

does that mean FLAT lightning damage is converted to fire, then added? where as INCREASED lightning damage does not convert to fire and increase?

[weary hamlet]

Flat spell damage gets added regardless of the spells base type. It's not converted though

[bronze dune]

ohhh. so if I'm understanding correctly, having "flat spell cold damage" would be added as well even though there's no cold tag on the skill as well (similar to how flat spell lightning damage adds)?

[weary hamlet]

Yes, but obv it will not scale from Inc fire which you'll want to have for fire skills

Also adaptive damage will add in proportion to the skill's base damage type spread

[bronze dune]

good to know. thank you!

[next swallow]

hey guys I would like to give you a little PSA about something I discovered, you can slam non-mage affixes onto a peak of the mountain and equip it as a mage.. Like this.

[thorny shell]

Illegal

[next swallow]

lol compared to all the people who got away with duping I feel like this is way less bad. but yes using this feels criminal haha

[weary hamlet]

Lol how did they even manage to break this

[thorny shell]

Definitely criminal

[next swallow]

so uh , you cant slam non-mage bodies onto say, an unstable core, because the unstable core is a mage body type item.
but if you look at the peak of the mountain everyone can use it, and so slam bases from all classes are considered valid... tier7 mana is cheap on the bazaar, cheap enough to manually add tier5 mana to go along with it

obvs dual exalt would be nice but they dont exist yet

[rapid hinge]

you can equip it? this would technically a bug becuase %mana is a rogue specific prefix

[next swallow]

how you think my mana is this high without any mana slammed into my chest and no orions eye yet?

[rapid hinge]

kekw
another bug added to the pile of bugs

[next swallow]

wait a minute you had me test it just now

I took off the hat and I went from 1422 mana to .. well its still ticking down nevermind

[rapid hinge]

open your characterr sheet, your max mana is listed there

[next swallow]

okay yeah its definitely working because my mana is now 1171 with the hat unequipped.

[rapid hinge]

yeah if you can equip it than it works

[next swallow]

I do have a collective 100% or so mana%
so flat mana does about twice what it says it will
but the 48 mana on it is not accounting for over 200 mana deficit.

this 100% works. I am sharing the info so fellow mages can use it. pls dont report XD

[thorny shell]

It might be intended even. D4 had a similar feature where barbs stole rogue tempers for their builds

[rapid hinge]

now slam 30% mana into your unstable core guys kekw

[karmic patrol]

i thought celestial doom staff would do more damage

[rapid hinge]

it's not intended at all. If you slam any other character skill prefix for example, you wont be able to use it

but i assume they somehow treat %mana as a generic prefixes, but only allow it to spawn on rogue chest'/head

[thorny shell]

That's kinda what I was saying

[next swallow]

you cant do non-mage exalt bases on an unstable core and cannot do %mana on chest because of it, but if you had a unique chest that was not class-specific I suspect you could.

[karmic patrol]

maybe would work with core of mountain lol

[next swallow]

I think it would

[rapid hinge]

oh yeah forgot core is mage base

[south yoke]

you got this from nemsis?

[next swallow]

no I slammed this. and it took a ridiculous amount of attempts to achieve too.

behold the graveyard

[south yoke]

where do you get that affix increased mana?

[next swallow]

I went to the bazaar, searched for tier 7 mana% exalted hats, they're cheap. The class restriction on the hat does not matter.
Then I manually added tier 5 flat mana increase to it as well.
Then I rerolled with rune of refinement until I got a perfect or nearly perfect set of rolls on those two affixes.
Then I slammed it and can equip it as a mage and it does work

[south yoke]

oh im CoF

[next swallow]

perhaps make a rogue COF alt to farm tier 7 mana bases with.

[rapid hinge]

%mana can only spawn on Rogue's helm and chest
so you wont see them much if you're playing as a mage

[south yoke]

can someone explain how to craft fractured crown? im pretty new

[next swallow]

guys wish me luck , trying to empower this

[south yoke]

GLGLG

[next swallow]

RIP add it to the trash pile 😦

well I mean, it does have more mana than my current neck. can I get an opinion on whether I should use that or this?

[compact bear]

You guys think speccing Teleport or Flame Ward is better for sorcerers? Both specced for full defence

[next swallow]

I use both

[compact bear]

i cant spec both yet since i still need Focus. I could potentially skip Arcane Ascendance for one but i dont think i want that

[next swallow]

I have fully talented flame ward but it isnt on my action bars, because it is used entirely through frost wall.
I have fully untalented teleport on my action bar

I dont use or need focus, I have arcane ascendance.

[compact bear]

i assume you are glacier then? Im gonna go frost claw, so dont have the free mana back

[next swallow]

yeah I am glacier. that sucks I dont know about how to set up frost claw.

[compact bear]

alright cheers ill just pick one for now and see how it feels. Thanks for the help!

[rocky anvil]

Oracle amulet for sure armor shred, crit mult & 10% less damage over time vs... 37 mana (& no void res needed I guess)

[next swallow]

ya I'm thinking not worth switching over until I actually land a mana slam on one of these 😦

[rocky anvil]

yeah or you got an upgrade ready for another piece of gear that has a lot of void res on it now that you replace with a juicy stat

[south yoke]

its FC spark charge static orb version better for map clear than glacier + static

[next swallow]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/planner/m15sk067 this is where I am at now. I have and could lose void resistance on my left ring and relic. left ring is nice but replaceable I suppose. relic would cost 200 million for the (1) tier 7 cast speed warding scroll on bazaar, and thats before rolling it to correct other affixes.

[rocky anvil]

Yeah... I'd just wait for a better Orian roll then. GL!

[next swallow]

thank you. Want to see something painful?

I tried to slam t7 mana and t5 crit multi into this LP2

[rocky anvil]

Yeah that's definitely painful... I usually wait a while before slamming so I can spam the dungeon and slam items for a while... so that if a few fail, I got more "chances" as so not to be discouraged from trying 😛
Edit: But nemesis yeah, don't pass up on those

[next swallow]

these are so expensive that its definitely an attempt 1 at a time thing for me. I am only able to attempt these through indirect methods like sniping a low priced LP0 and nemesis upgrading it hoping for LP. Thats how I got the LP2

[mystic tundra]

T5 760 sweet

[full bluff]

Anyone tried running arcane ascendance with CDR and using evade and teleport to move around?

[compact bear]

ok i feel like im missing something about this build im looking at. Statis Orb + Frost Claw with static orb stuff. What is the use for having both dmg skills? I'm not seeing the synergy here

[rapid hinge]

FC has trouble with single target DPS, Orb helps you with that

[compact bear]

is it just Orb for single target, FC for clear nothing else?

[rapid hinge]

yeah

[south yoke]

guys which part of the items does drop "mana spent as ward" affix?

[compact bear]

alright thank you! i didnt notice the better single target with Orb yet, but i'm just very early so far.

[south yoke]

hahaha sorry guys

coc meteor blacier build - what's a good 5th spell to put on my bar?

[rapid hinge]

[mystic tundra]

I dont know your build how come you being so while having sooooo much mana?

[barren shoal]

Offline mode. Not sure if bug. I disabled god mode tho @past obsidian

I think I know why now. Haha funny bug

[rapid hinge]

you need to restart the game in order to disable god mode

[barren shoal]

I hadn't turned it on @rapid hinge

why dont you lose health why standing on puddle?

guys, i am at 800 mana - how do you break to 1500?

[karmic patrol]

[harsh abyss]

-Get mana affixes on bases that grant implciit mana
-Get double T5+ mana affixes on weapons

no

it only used for glacier. with lightning/fire bonus. you dont want scales with cold for glacier

hes getting mana by taking damage in this clip. maybe thats the bug with more than 100% damage dealt to mana instead of health

so close but yet

so close for what? :p explain please im newbie

anyone got a good coc meteor glacier filter?

found one today, it's meh roll and got freeze rate from nemesis

omegalul I'm also 2 stats short of activating its effect cause it's not a max roll all stats

[south yoke]

lol? neme

he gave me 3 LP and just used a old gloves and got this result

is it worth? i lose Evade

[wheat gyro]

if i wanted to farm a peak of the mountain 3lp

what would be the fastest way

[woven lark]

Spam lightless arbor T4. They are fairly common and realistically farmable.

[wheat gyro]

yea ive seen the chances thanks

soo when i slam an exalted item with lp3 ill get random 3 affiixes on it right

new player, what if the exalted item has 3 affixes on it

[woven lark]

Can only use 4 affixes items.

looking for coc meteor glacier filter thanks!

[rigid lark]

Can i ask where u get it ? I tried so many prophecies to find but it didnt drop even one time

[bleak vigil]

Got a crest of unity (playing tri nova build) all of sudden my novas are no longer igniting (I have both fire nova ignite and all nova ignite node just to be sure)... Googling shows that there are a quite a few threads saying the tri ele nova is neither of the nova and does not benefit from the some of the nodes.. Has this been fixed or do I need to re equip gear etc. For it to work properly? (rune master)

[past obsidian]

on coc meteor build, can i use double stardial for mapping?

[rigid lark]

Can i ask how to increased rarity up to 48% chance ? sorry i'm new

[past obsidian]

Is it worth to use a stardial without slamming stats onto it (making it leggo)?

[nimble shoal]

Pretty much just this node doesn't work on tri-ele nova, but also freeze rate is useless.

[mystic tundra]

blessings + higher corruption

Also COF 10

damn only got half of 1 out of 2 affixes I wanted, at least it was the T7

[rigid lark]

Thankk you very much ~

[bleak vigil]

Does the node follow up node works? (the one that gives 30per dmg for shocked/ignite/freeze/chill

[nimble shoal]

Yeah, though of course your nova can't freeze anymore (you can still freeze with something else like snap freeze)

[bleak vigil]

Well was nvr banking on freeze but the 1.3^3 was good enough

And I guess trielenova benefits from either cold/fire/lightning dmg?
The 5% elemental dmg node on spellblade tree is now effectively 15%? Or does it not work like that

[south yoke]

Its unique drop from lagon

[harsh abyss]

It divides flat damage 3 ways, but each element benefits from the 5% increased damage.

So if you have 60 flat damage, each element will get 20 flat damage, increased by 5% for 21 each or 63 total.

[bleak vigil]

Thanks that is clear!

Got both the crest n the chest lately.. Jus can't decide if I should be pressing nova itself or continue to claw... Wish i can have a dps meter hitting the dummy for 5m

what is caspar's set used for? Looking up google and nothing..im not sure i understand the part about shock on void spell hit but designed to use lightning spells?

[rocky anvil]

Sets are used for when you somehow beat all odds and get the most sucky magic-rare gear that even sets become competitive for you build.

[proper hawk]

unfortunately its kinda bad, but I believe they have plans for what they want to do with sets eventually so that set items are more interesting

[inner vale]

what im asking is what build use caspar's set

[rocky anvil]

No build uses caspar's set.
No build uses any set.

[inner vale]

cuz it doesn't make sense or there's no lightning and void synergy?

Low resists, armor. No crit immune... Glass cannon. Lots of work to do.

[mortal escarp]

yep only upped lp3 gir

[rich pecan]

how do we know if we're at 100% crit on glacier for sorc

[mortal escarp]

spell crit chance

[rich pecan]

i guess i'm confused because in the max roll guides and others some say the spell crit tooltip is inaccurate.. and they dont have any crit chance rolls on gear

[unreal umbra]

glacier is different coz you get base crit chance in the tree

you have to manually calculate it. you can use letools to help you thoughs

[rich pecan]

oh ok

[unreal umbra]

but like, if you have a 6% crystal skull you probably are crit capped. you can test in arena dummy and look for white numbers

glacier pretty easy to crit cap coz you get 8% for 'free', 12 if you need it

so to calculate it, 5 base + 6 (crystal skull) + 8 (glacier tree) = 19. with the 19 value, you do 0.19 multiplied by the rest of your non base crit chances (le tools adds this up for you), say it's usually around 400 for standard sorc build. (0.19 * 400) + 19 = total crit chance for glacier

[rapid hinge]

glacier is one of the few skill that has a detailed DPS calculator in LETool
use that

[unreal umbra]

oh i didnt know that existed, will check it out

good to be able to know how to calculate your own crit chance anyway for whatever reason

[cedar ocean]

anyone down to let me leech some mono with them? 🙂

[slow pendant]

I heard we had a really strong bugged passive

[unreal umbra]

which

[slow pendant]

Passive, sorry. Early morning

[unreal umbra]

never late?

[slow pendant]

But I can’t find which when searching.

[slow pendant]

Oh man, really?!

[slow pendant]

So if I smack 8 points in it I always have full benefit?

Btw do you know if toggling arcane ascendance consumes the teleport free cast?

[unreal umbra]

yeah it does

also, the never late bug, i dunno exactly how it works, coz when i tested it was working for meteor and glacier (glacier was already capped), but not for static orb

[slow pendant]

So I should toggle arcane and then tp to boss?

Or should I tp, run to buss, cast 1 static, then toggle and full send?

[unreal umbra]

rotation should be teleport, potion, static orb, aa, then hold down static orb

so you get that free first static orb

[slow pendant]

Right, I don’t pot because I dont have an int slammed julra. Using a red ring + opal ring with t7 int/light damage right now

[unreal umbra]

potion for grimoire if using that

julra is teleport (and wrongwarp)

[slow pendant]

Ah right

When you say hold down aa, what do you mean? ☺️

[unreal umbra]

whops

edited

[slow pendant]

Ah, cheers

I managed to kill t4 julra once in 1 combo, before swap. Tried a few more times but I just get her to 25% ward toggle mostly

But I just farmed 4 lagon relics with 1 lp and 4 tri necks with 1/2 lp so I need to get on a slamming session, only have 1300 mana unbuffed

[unreal umbra]

i got lucky with my first 2 lp lagon relic

[silver aurora]

for a spark charge spellblade would a t2 crit multiplier be better or about the same dps as a t5 lightning damage? My first time trying to slam a couple LP1 Dragorath claw's and got those as the extra affix.

[slow pendant]

Nice! Lp1 seems quite common so I am going to send t6 mana on them. I have found like 3 t7 mana items in total

[unreal umbra]

yeah, pretty common

t7 mana relic pretty are it seems, found 1.

[hushed vigil]

on corruption 290 there's a lack of dmg

[rapid hinge]

make sure your FC has at least 40 manacost

your wrongwarp need to have exactly -3 manacost in order for FC to have 40 manacost, even -4 will break it

[hushed vigil]

yeah

its 41.8 mana per cast

im currently with 1.100

[rapid hinge]

then you shouldnt have any problem with damage at 290c

[hushed vigil]

crit chance is 45% and spell crit chance is 65%

[rapid hinge]

link your planner?

[hushed vigil]

crit multi is 200% only

[rapid hinge]

well then at least your passive is different from the planner you linked above

[hushed vigil]

hm let me import

[slow pendant]

If my wrongwarp has 5 or 4, is it bust when I play static orb + frost claw? Should I swap to glacier for clear + orb for boss - or use my 2 lp mana/crit slammed ladle + enigma for monos?

[rapid hinge]

-4 mana cost wrongwarp will nullify Arcane Current for your FC. Ladle is better for FC, wrongwarp better for orb

[forest bane]

I can do aberoth fine with current gear but the one shots in 500+ corruption? What gives?

[unreal umbra]

nearly all my deaths are me trying to egg something and getting sniped by something offscreen

[slow pendant]

so do you recommend swapping to ladle for monos and wrongwarp for bosses, or just swap out FC and use Glacier for clear in monos?

[rapid hinge]

tbh you dont need to be fancy

i play pure spark charge FC and doing fine at 1.5k

[grizzled lily]

speaking of egging something and die

these spires + nemesis is just pain in the butt

[forest bane]

I swear the higher I climb corruption, the less exalted/unique items I see dropping

[small compass]

OK folks. I'm trying to do some build brewing. Has anyone found a "best" subclass to do Disintegrate with? Sorc is kinda my default, but I could definitely see RM.

[grizzled lily]

it is surely RM

[small compass]

Is that for the Glyph synergy?

[grizzled lily]

one part, rm also has a lot of channeling stuff

[small compass]

My current thought is to do the autocast Lightning Blast + quick-charging Static.

Does it? there's the +armor per rune and ward thing.

[forest bane]

How can you add 2 filters into one? If I have a farm build one char and thinking of creating another char soonish. Any way I can merge both the loot filters in one?

[unreal umbra]

nice! can i see your planner?

[grizzled lily]

it is something at least, but yeah the glyph part is much bigger

[rapid hinge]

remind me in 3hrs. Currently not at my PC
It's nothing fancy. I think what's different from mine and the typical spark charge is i use dragorath and exaltd helm + chest

imo unstable core(especially 1LP) is a trap

[small compass]

Cool, time to reroll, haha. Just chose Sorc on my alt and decided I should see if there was more to RM... alas

[unreal umbra]

ok cool. will do

haven't tried fc, im using chunkapapa build. but i'd like to try it though, and it's probably better for arena im guessing

[rapid hinge]

I think they're on the same level for arena

[unreal umbra]

i assume you're gonna cook up some sort of arena variant at some point

[rapid hinge]

welp
Only thing i can tell you atm is sorc arena is meaningless
The reason for that you'll see later

[grizzled lily]

I'm starting to believe in ranged glacier + spark charge more

but it is even harder to gear because of lack of crit on enigma

it has more mana and free up a slot to play with "damage dealt to mana for health and ward" on flame ward, which is probably better in arena

[unreal umbra]

your planner will reveal?

unless you are the ballista guy haha

[small compass]

I'm assuming this has something to do with the 100% Damage Reduction setup someone posted about on Reddit? Gotta assume that's getting patched hah

[rapid hinge]

no, you'll see at the end of the season
Maybe sooner idk, depends on patch

oh yeah looks like the guy who discovered it decided to public it xD

i dont want to reveal before him becuase he's the one found it out

[unreal umbra]

is it still something on mage? (non sorc)

[rapid hinge]

afaik you cannot achieve 100% dam to mana without being a sorc

[small compass]

The wild part is that you eventually get over 100% DR and thus taking damage refills your mana. Seems... insane ahaha

[rapid hinge]

what's funny about this is i asked in dev channel before 1.1 dropped that the endurance effective to mana from seed is based on capped or uncapped, and i never got an anwser

[grizzled lily]

you basically leaked it

[rapid hinge]

https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/1e8i2ps/you_can_be_immortal_as_sorc_with_seed_of/

[grizzled lily]

ah ok so he published anyway

[rapid hinge]

he posted in reddit 2hrs ago so im not leaker 😎

hopefully they'll fix this soon, i want a fair arena ladder to compete
also if your mana goes above 30k something it will go to negative lol

so 2^15

[grizzled lily]

so many overflow underflow bugs

[rapid hinge]

this coding is so funny lol

[small compass]

lol the video of the person doing Julra and moving to be inside as many of the high-damage mechanics as possible is hilarious

[unreal umbra]

haha crazy

[grizzled lily]

I wish someone make this bugged build and push to 5k+ waves just as a 'fk u' to EHG lol

[weary hamlet]

nothing. Most sets in this game are useless

[rapid hinge]

i already have the setup for it kekw
wanted to try if it works online or not

[weary hamlet]

some builds do use some sets thought, like vilatrias or shattered lance, but they are in fact quite niche at best

[grizzled lily]

I wonder what they would do if someone push giga high with it

[unreal umbra]

then they'd have to leave it up there coz that's their policy

[grizzled lily]

probably nothing, it would be funny if there is a 10k waves

[weary hamlet]

it's inaccurate in the sense that skills can have individual modifiers (like from their trees) and it won't be reflected in your character stat sheet

[rapid hinge]

you know what is funnier. Once you reach 10k waves it will descale just like shade of orobyss lol

that would be funny

[grizzled lily]

they really need to fix all their number overflow stuffs

[small compass]

Interger overflow, you are now the bottom of the leaderboard at minus several billion waves

[grizzled lily]

lmao

[rapid hinge]

[weary hamlet]

rm doesn't have much advantage over sorc if any, you get the glyph synergy but you lose 75% pen from meteor and free mana shielding from class passives

[small compass]

Am I doing Meteor in this build? I was thinking Static + Lightning Bolt autocast. Hm.

[weary hamlet]

seems natural if you know anything about LE and its developers, this was probably never tested a single time. Like they assumed that it works with capped endurance and then they assumed that the build will not be broken and then just shipped it live. Admittedly we also "test" sh it about as rigorously at my job

[weary hamlet]

if you want to build lightning disintegrate, much less a proc-based lightning disintegrate build, you'll have the honors of being the daring pioneer cause nobody else is playing it cause it already looks like crap even on paper

[small compass]

Quite possible XD

[weary hamlet]

need like 3k max mana to break even on damage with fire and then you have nothing else to do with your mana, at massive investment

[small compass]

Amusingly, before the 100% DR setup came out, my plan was to get to 100% damage taken by mana and then do the 0 Disintegrate cost on lightning and just stand there

I was cookin' man. COOKIN

[grizzled lily]

yeah, I'm thinking the lightning disintegrate stuff is good for damage to mana stuff

[weary hamlet]

they don't care about the integrity of the ladder so if somebody manages to get in on the bugged build, they won't nullify their run. At least it will have a timestamp so after excessive amounts of sleuthing you'll be able to decide that it was probably on a bugged build. It will still be up there in the ladder though

[weary hamlet]

The problem here is that once you run out of mana you just die, and you cannot regenerate your mana pool in any reasonable manner while still casting disintegrate

Then again I don't think anybody had pushed it beyond theorycrafting, so you can be the first one to try it

[unreal umbra]

the current rank 1 sorc guy was already doing dmg to mana right, but not 100%?

[rapid hinge]

it looks like 100%

but the secret is the endurance, not the 100% dam to mana itself

[unreal umbra]

hm, his planner link didnt work

[nimble rover]

it works

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/pyllero/character/pylle

[unreal umbra]

mine just loads up a blank maxroll planner

that's the rank 1 guy, not the reddit guy

[nimble rover]

who cares about reddit guy. he had 371 endu on his julra thats all you need to know. and it capped at 180% due to bug

all extra info doesnt matter

[rapid hinge]

also idk why seems like nobody has cooked any spark charge FC with this thing yet

[grizzled lily]

because it is hard af to get

[rapid hinge]

this sht is just absolute bonkers
oh true

i dropped a triple exalted for this base, but it's barely fits

[grizzled lily]

need a miracle or MG to have the right stat

[rapid hinge]

it was t6 crit multi, t7 light pen sealed, FRM, but wrong 2nd prefix

it was soooo close to being godlike

i hope the guy who bought it can cook something sick

[nimble rover]

the good thing about this dealt to mana damage + endurance thing is that we clearly know that it is a bug. and you can abuse it ofc till the nerf. and idk how fast EHG is acting nowadays. but they were pretty slow in the past

[unreal umbra]

it's a mixed bag. they left jelkors the most busted thing ever untouched

[rapid hinge]

if you ask me i'd say this cycle looks like (another) throwaway cycle

It's even worse than 1.0 launch if you think about it

[unreal umbra]

this is pretty niche. hardly anyone will have the gear to do it

[rapid hinge]

the immortal setup?

[unreal umbra]

yeah

[nimble rover]

you can have it very fast if you want tho

[rapid hinge]

not as niche as you think 😂

took me 15min and less than 50m gold to get it

[unreal umbra]

i imagine all the seeds are gone already

[grizzled lily]

do it now, probably have a day

[rapid hinge]

the only slam you need to do is the 1LP seed

[grizzled lily]

I bet they are immediately fixing it on monday

because it can compromise the ladder and make it look bad

[nimble rover]

i mean damage dealt to mana even with no bugs is still strongest def layer in the game i guess

[rapid hinge]

if you mean sacrifice a big chunk of your DPS to not die to oneshot than yes

[nimble rover]

im not sure that it is actually this big of a sacrifice

[grizzled lily]

not many build can sustain the mana

[rapid hinge]

it is

for a build that actually stacks a big mana pool(ie sorc atm), your mana IS your damage

[grizzled lily]

100% damage to mana just means you turn your mana into another health bar

[rapid hinge]

so you're basically using a single pool of resource for both your DPS and survivability

[grizzled lily]

if you cant sustain it it means nothing

[nimble rover]

idk glacier will be fine with this prefix i guess

[rapid hinge]

glacier might be the only thing in the game that can synergize with that lol

maybe fireball but fireball DPS is so bad

[nimble rover]

ye. it can be a top sorc build for high corr. with glacier and dmaage deal to mana. bossing is a bit of a problem in terms of dps output. but sustain will be brilliant.

[rapid hinge]

i highly doubt it. The current rank1 guy's gear is as good as it gets, and he died at 800 wave

[grizzled lily]

CoC meteor is not exactly good at creating mana

[rapid hinge]

I think he can do alot better just by ditching the meteor and play only glacier + orb

[rapid hinge]

^yeah exactly this

[grizzled lily]

tbh I dunno why he stacks damage to mana, and yeah ditching meteor is fine

[nimble rover]

i was talking about pure glacier tho

and not coc meteor

[unreal umbra]

how does this dmg to mana and ward interact?

[grizzled lily]

no interaction

[rapid hinge]

no interaction

[grizzled lily]

the flame ward one does work though

[rapid hinge]

ward is basically the first layer which will be gone very fast if you get damaged

[unreal umbra]

then your mana bar is your health bar, but endurance applies to all it

[rapid hinge]

with Seed yes
without seed endurance doesnt apply, used to tho

[nimble rover]

keep in mind there is 5:1 ratio. when you take 5 damage you will lose just 1 mana instead of 5 hp with 100% damage dealt to mana. so its like build in DR alrdy

[waxen sigil]

Unless the scaling or memory leak is wildly different than before I think I could put any mage class to 2000-4000 (depending on skill choice) before the memory leak crashed me

2000 for bad spells like frostclaw and fireball which crash the game fast

[rapid hinge]

I know your capibilities, but 2000 to 4000 is a big range
and it's always easier said than done

[waxen sigil]

I downloaded and logged in last night, found an absolute game breaker within 4 or 5 hours lol

It’s just sitting at my computer, playing… leveling… going to trade for items. And then finally sitting down for two more uninterrupted monotonous grinds

Got to like lvl 20 or so before I just went and tested on legacy

[halcyon geyser]

the infernal nova node got nerfed for non-direct casts, do i just go for overcharge or just put 5 points into elemental expanse?

(for elemental nova)

[rapid hinge]

arena has always been a test of endurance and who got the better internet/PC anw
and luck

[waxen sigil]

For sure

[rapid hinge]

and infested with bugs/uninteded interaction lol

[waxen sigil]

At least last time the top two were infinite dmg/defense and just straight endurance battle

[rapid hinge]

you mean 1.0 or before that

[waxen sigil]

But I design the build to use as minimal vfx as possible, before that

[rapid hinge]

well it's the same anw kekw

[waxen sigil]

Just tested all them to see what survived and didn’t and there are multiple infinite dmg on mage, every mastery

[rapid hinge]

the coding of this game has so many elementary level bugs it's funny

[waxen sigil]

It actually was a good stepping stone for me to get interested in and learn a very small amount of reading c++

[rapid hinge]

really 😂

[waxen sigil]

Yeh, I started knowing almost nothing and just asked chatgpt about hardware and how games read inputs to try to understand one of the skill interactions

That was relevant to my spellblade at the time

[rapid hinge]

i'm still waiting to the day you decide to spew the secret of your spellblade

[waxen sigil]

I could share some gameplay vid n then you can speculate ??

[rapid hinge]

that would be nice, but if it's based on hardware and how game reads input i doubt i can tell

[waxen sigil]

It’s not an exploit like that, I just wanted to understand something

That I couldn’t explain at the time or reproduce consistently, so had to go figure it out

[rapid hinge]

that sounds interesting, im curious to see the gameplay

[waxen sigil]

Ok I will cut a couple clips maybe take 10 min or so

[worn valley]

Did anyone else follow the maxbuild Glacier sorc and run into difficulty around 150 corruption levels? My stats are 850 mana 65 spell crit (was 75 but lost some for defensive stats) 960 health with static 2.4k ward. Got the head/wand/chest/belt and boots legendaries as suggested and all off pieces are exalted. But im having such a hard time with bosses running oom and just getting nuked by stuff. I thought my gear was in a pretty good spot.. I was aiming for teh 1k mana and 100%crit chance but im finding it near impossible with the drops im getting and having to sacrifice too much mana/survivability for offensive stats

[ivory palm]

Hi guys, I'm pretty new to this game and I did a runemaster, which builds are best for this season ?
I heard frostclaw wasn't very good on runemaster this season

[slow pendant]

What do you think we'll get?

[unreal umbra]

gl

[woven lark]

Frostclaw is still great, any flavor you want. Amazing skill

[slow pendant]

🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂

[unreal umbra]

wow

the reverse 1/6 total whiff

[slow pendant]

39 of my 40 slams so far this seaosn has ONLY slammed suffixes

I have 1 single prefix slam. That is a very good ladle tho.

Doesnt help that like 1/3 of the times you enter TS you get infinite loading screen of straight up DC

[unreal umbra]

yeah i was getting infinite betwen floors a few times

[south yoke]

static orb is pretty expensive build D:

[south yoke]

can yo u explain why that amulet ? because the flat spell dmg ?

[slow pendant]

yes

[mystic tundra]

Damn 1/3 only? I’m 100% of the time this cycle somehow.

[mortal escarp]

low roll(

[south yoke]

holy moly haha

[south yoke]

i have this one, i can't find that confluence

oh its drop only i nblack sun

[mortal escarp]

nice one)

[slow pendant]

40/41 slams prefix

[waxen sigil]

https://youtu.be/6mKLkyc04Uc?si=BaOqsg_C_CwFK0Ba arena

[tight wadi]

What's the special tier and roll % coloring?

[rapid hinge]

👀

do u use the same gear in both clip

[slow pendant]

40/42 slams suffix. Only took 10 necks to actually get a prefix slam.
To bad it's my worst rolled 1 lp but I'll take it

[waxen sigil]

It had ppls whispers in the first clip so I removed it, but yah mostly the same but was a bit diff skills, was using the mactuahtl one in the first clip and not in the arena

[mortal escarp]

melon louder mod extender (not cheat)

[rapid hinge]

will try to debunk this, good timing to learn spellblade anw. This is actually the first time i look at any spellblade skill and passive

[waxen sigil]

A big thing is that the best sword in the game at the time was transcribers graver, but it was due to miscoded elemental penetration

[rapid hinge]

this was 0.9.2 i believe?

[waxen sigil]

I think it says in the top right exactly the patch

I actually just think playing 100% straight as intended in intended ways would be pretty fun with the 50% chance to cast frostclaw and the other nice buffs to the soellblade tree I was really
Impressed with

[mossy snow]

Guys best sorcerer build? do you have links or something where find gear and filters?

[waxen sigil]

Also after looking at everything lately, I think spark charges are NOT the way to push the higher end of spellblade like most of YouTube and guides would suggest

[rapid hinge]

i think spark charge is not the way to push higher end of anything tbh, it's just easy to play and doesnt require much thinking

it has a pretty low ceiling

[waxen sigil]

Lightning blast hard cast maybe

[mystic tundra]

how do you check the tooltip dps for static orb on FC build?

is it the same as looking at the dps shown for FC skill?

[tepid barn]

😁come back and play

[mossy snow]

anyone has loot filter for this build?https://www.lastepochtools.com/build-guides/mana-stacking-elementalist-sorcerer-meteor-glacier-static-orb

[slow pendant]

instead of t7 mana and crit I got slow + spell crit. guess it could be worse but having that juicy mana..

[waxen sigil]

I was on a bit today checkin some things out, found a piece of highly unethical illegal forbidden mage tech as I poured over the skills/trees

[tepid barn]

[mossy snow]

where can i find this wand?

[slow pendant]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/BZq846VQ any tips on what items I should focus on improving?
Right now I've farmed a few lp1 relics that I'm gonna slam, but I dont have any t6+ mana or CSM. Am I crit capped with lightning spells? I have no idea how to calculate it.
Also should I keep the points in Never Late or am I capped without it?

(very?) rare random drop, I got the +2 lp from nemesis

[tepid barn]

do watever you want just dont play ladder on SSF😆

[mossy snow]

thx

[patent palm]

Only really want this amulet for max damage bossing. Want strong mind or orians for echoes, or just a well rolled exalted

[south yoke]

whats better ? :'c

[astral ferry]

can handle julra t4 now let's goo
https://medal.tv/games/last-epoch/clips/ijuRVKtLOVpZ0QNBH/d1337SFR448p?invite=cr-MSxRYUksMzA4MjkyNTgs

[elder reef]

Grats dude

[astral ferry]

daaamn u did 40 t4 julra ? or nemesis ?

[elder reef]

here i am level 34....

im dying an awful lot....

[gentle mango]

how

[past obsidian]

Could anyone please share a good COF filter for coc glacier sorc? thanks!

[elder reef]

im only lvl 37 and dying in story a ton

[south yoke]

damn, failed for +2 static orb D: still good?

[slow pendant]

Which one of these do you reckon is better for static orb coc meteor?

The Unstable core has pretty good rolleddamage and mana, but lacking int and a good slam (but the nemesis t5 resist caps me right now)

[ebon rain]

unstable with a t7 mana affix.

[slow pendant]

Yes sure I will just order one

[mystic tundra]

okay wtf is the deal with this?

this means any uniques with an level requirement above 75 are uselses because you can't slam them?

[slow pendant]

It means you have to do a T4 to slam above 75

[mystic tundra]

oh I didn't know that was even a thing.. thank you

[delicate cape]

is anyone playing Glacier on HC

[past obsidian]

empower or challenge?

[slow pendant]

Empower can give more LP or can it remove LP as well?

[past obsidian]

I think it is either add lp or do nothing at this point

[slow pendant]

most likely do nothing. I've gotten a few 2 lp items from nemesis, and I've always gotten 2 lp in the first empower

[past obsidian]

Yep, I empowered and it did nothing

[nimble shoal]

It can't remove LP, but you may as well always empower until you can't anymore, since you can't run them through the egg again.

[warm tartan]

Is it normal that a magician's skill has a black hole with pumping 200% of the duration disappears in 1-2 seconds? Although there, by default, 2.75sec duration.

[delicate cape]

Shouldnt you always empower?

[nimble shoal]

It is if you spec collapse

[past obsidian]

I think so, since there is technically a chance for higher LP, and nothing to lose on. @delicate cape

[warm tartan]

Fire with 2 black holes. 200% is not 6 seconds on average?

[nimble shoal]

Collapse halves your duration if you have it. Otherwise, sounds like a bug

[astral ferry]

it can transform it into a legendary with random affixes though

[past obsidian]

good to know

[nimble shoal]

Not once it has LP

[astral ferry]

are you sure ?

[nimble shoal]

Yes

[astral ferry]

how ?

[nimble shoal]

The devs have said so: #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[astral ferry]

ok good to know !! because i was always afraid so i check before the second empower if i got a 2lp or else

thanks !

[sleek elbow]

is there a difference between increase critical chance and increased critical strike chance in the mage passive tree?

talking specifically between crackling precision and runeword:cataclysm

[sleek meteor]

this is really helpful

[celest urchin]

Can i find somewhere spark charge base dmg and the formula attached to it ?

[nimble shoal]

It's this: https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/spark_charge_explosion

[nimble shoal]

No, one is just shorthand for the other

[celest urchin]

Thanks that's lovely !

And do we agree, if i have a high crit multi and a not that all spell/lighting dmg it's way better to find upgrades on the second ones than have an highter first one since they are multiplicative ?

[nimble shoal]

Yes, that sounds reasonable to me

[celest urchin]

And we agree that spell or lighting dmg is the same for spark charge ?

I mean they are just additive on each other, not multiplicativ ?

[nimble shoal]

Correct, they are additive

[celest urchin]

So the closer the 2 multiplicatives are the better it is ? Like if i have 400% dmg to split between the 2 it's better to have 200 and 200 than 100 and 300%... I can't get a reason why on maxroll build while they had the choice there is 500crit dmg but 300 spell dmg

[sleek meteor]

is flame burst for fireball any good?

[nimble shoal]

In an ideal world yes, but different multiplicatives have different costs and availabilities, so a "perfectly" optimized build won't have it all equal. That said, I have no idea if the maxroll one is optimized (probably safe to assume it's not).

[harsh abyss]

Also remember that more small "More" bonuses are better than one large "More" bonus. Two 50% More modifiers is better than a single 100% more modifier.

[woven lark]

There is always an opportunity cost. Optimized for what; damage, tankiness, speed overall? For that specific build guide, @quick garnet could answer.

And for the statement that its safe to assume it's not, i would be on the other side of that statement. I can personally say that my guides on Maxroll are optimized for their purpose, and a lot of work goes into it.

[nimble shoal]

I don't mean it as a dig at you or any of the maxroll folks, it's just always the safe option to assume and do the calculations yourself (for those that know how to), especially when you are trying to optimize off of what items you actually have

[woven lark]

I agree with you on this 100% then. Always better to do things yourself if you are capable

[finite canyon]

What are the strongest runemaster builds rn? The only one I've seen this cycle is the RF disintegrate and the frost claw nova. Are the hydra/plasma orb still any good after the nerfs?

[past obsidian]

Best way for preparing exalted items for slamming 1-2 lp uniques early in the cycle? Obviously I think I dont want to wait for the perfect item because it is early and I dont want to hold onto the uniques long

[thorn raft]

Hi , does anyone knows how i calcute the Glacier Crit Cap ?

[woven lark]

plasma orb is still great. Absolute blaster with great defenses

[cedar ocean]

Mind someone explaining why's Grimoire of Necrotic Elixirs best relic for Static orb sorc? I've been following a guide by ChunkyPapa and he notes it's the best one to use

[woven lark]

it just has a bunch of Flat Damage on potion use. good for burst damage on demand

[cedar ocean]

It states it's flat necro damage, and I have no idea how that scales with Lightning Sorb

[woven lark]

can also use defensively for the less damage taken

it will still be scale by things like Increased Spell Damage. Just not by things like Increased Lightning Damage

[cedar ocean]

So you can basically add any type of dmg for it to scale for Orb?

[long cave]

Hi guys any new fire element unique or affix that would help a fire DoT build?

[past obsidian]

Is transient boot that rare? Been spamming prophets and found none

[unreal umbra]

yeah, same reason why people use marina's

[cedar ocean]

Hmm thats weird

[unreal umbra]

@woven lark what build are you playing rn?

[woven lark]

Thing is, you need to think about many different factors. Physical benefits more from armor shred. Lightning has access to Shock which reduces lightning res. What type of Shred are you applying (cold, lightning, phys, etc)

Many things to consider when deciding to scale a different type of damage

[past obsidian]

Isnt he playing vk

[woven lark]

Glacier, zhp ballista and I just started a CoF rune of creation farmer, good old lightning swarmblade

[unreal umbra]

cool

[slow pendant]

What is it that makes Transient Rest so good for static Orb sorc? would not Exile boots be better? higher base MS, int and also extra des/str for defense

[cedar ocean]

Movespeed for more dmg with wrongwarp

Also mana > ward is nice

[woven lark]

Kinda up to preference. Nice resists and Ward scaling with mana is pretty good

Also the resist rolls are static, no rng involved

[unreal umbra]

@rapid hinge @grizzled lily wow they hotfixed already. fastest hotifx known to man

[past obsidian]

What did they fix? I assumed it is realted to the popular build since those two names are mentioned

[unreal umbra]

https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/1e8i2ps/you_can_be_immortal_as_sorc_with_seed_of/

it's related but probably not affecting majorify of people

[slow pendant]

Resists are nice yeah, but I have everything covered outside of boots right now, but it would mean freeing up more slots elsewere

[unreal umbra]

bug was made public and hotfixed within 12 hours. unless they knew about it beforehand

[celest urchin]

What scale better for SB high corrupt, bloody nip shattered strike or Spark charge shattered striker ? (Or something else ?)

[sleek meteor]

for gods sake

my game bugged out right as a unique dropped and i cant pick it up

It was 4 lp ravenous void probably

im also being attacked by invisible enemies

i can't get static orb++ in LP slots for helm

[mystic tundra]

Wait you’re not using ladle?

I’m using bone helm with t7 INT slam

Trying to get to 200 INT feels rough af

I can shred through echos pretty easily but bossing doesn’t feel that great. Also how much mana do you have?

[mystic tundra]

Oh this looks like that other build he highlighted recently. The one that doesn’t use meteor and mana strike right? Focus instead with high mana and wrongwrap

Hard to achieve that build properly lol. I’m sticking to the original for now

[south yoke]

its hard D:

[sick kindle]

hey magefellas, were there any changes to glyph of insight? was sealing atleast 11x T5 exeperemental items with rune of research and got 0 glyphs..what iam missing?

[gentle mango]

you get them from dismantling experimental items

[sick kindle]

nah i am sure its from using rune of research not only shatter

[next swallow]

I have really lucked out so far this cycle and I am nearing the point where I dont know where to upgrade my gear any more. https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/planner/lwar01bp
I know I could have a theoretical LP2 unstable core with mana and glacier levels slammed onto it, and for that purpose I keep buying cheap LP0 unstable cores and rolling them in the nemesis machine.
Likewise with the same upgrade method I could probably get a LP2 wrongwarp slammed correctly.
I am not pursuing red rings unless the price goes way down and that would require a full build rebuild to get over 180 stats.
My relic could be better but cast speed exalt warding scrolls dont exist.

[unreal umbra]

not relevant. that blessing doesn't affect boss drops.

[gentle mango]

my omnis

[harsh abyss]

RIP

[slow pendant]

This shouldnt be allowed to happen. I wish the map didnt reset upon leaving like in D3 / D4

[gentle mango]

true, should allow at least 1/2 revives

even if you lose loot on first death, just to finish it

[slow pendant]

I lost a red ring like that 😦

[harsh abyss]

Sounds like you got a red ring of death 👍

[gentle mango]

oof, mine was a near max roll all resists 😦

i was so careful to cleanse poison and look around after killing him

there was really no pool where i walked to loot..

[plush anchor]

daaamn.. i had this happen once but not with such a rare item :(. i agree. this sh!t shouldnt be allowed to happen

[weary blaze]

ty to the person that listed this 1.1mil

[plush anchor]

🔥

[past obsidian]

Has anyone tried using focus as teleport for the coc meteor build? successful?

[waxen sigil]

I like it becase it has a shorter CD

I have also tested out glacier as a teleport tho lol and it has some interesting behavior

[grizzled lily]

sus what interesting

[plush anchor]

well well well.

[south yoke]

and still gain mana on negative mana?

[mystic tundra]

I’m struggling with frozens original one. But I think it’s just a matter of having more INT for flat damage increase…

Like farming age of winter 300 corruption is pretty easy but bossing feels slow idk

[patent sphinx]

Whats good and easy for starter playing sorc. Glacier or static orb?

[next swallow]

I started glacier sorc on merchants guild this cycle and it worked out great

[patent sphinx]

I ll try that too. So the merchant guild make us easy to trade with other playet right?

[next swallow]

so , a gold dupe happened, and has been patched but the damage is already done.
you should use a good loot filter (I can share a good one)
then through normal play you should find items worth 100million to 1 billion gold semi regularly because of how inflated the market is
then you can turn around and buy cheap (2mil?) items for gambling to make ultimate gear for cheap

its bad and everything but the end result is kinda fun, one good sale can fund 100+ attempts at making something good
like you can buy LP0 uniques and gamble them in the nemesis machine to add legendary potential to them.

[past obsidian]

What's the incentive for mana stack, besides needing them or casting spells? any node in our passive that increases damage based on max mana?

[next swallow]

at least for glacier theres a passive that gives you 1% of your mana back every time you crit with glacier.

[patent sphinx]

Pls share the loot filter. Oo so strat is buy cheap gear and gamble them ? I need to lear the gamble things i dont have idea how to

[patent sphinx]

How to sustain mana. I see video they just spam glacier but mana not drop

[next swallow]

the build comes online more and more as your gear gets to high levels. think about how a percent of your mana back per crit might be good when you have 100% crit rate.

[past obsidian]

really feel like m meteor damage is low in echoes

[next swallow]

my glacier costs 46 mana to cast but I have 1600 mana. glacier hits 3 times, and for me it always crits. if I hit one enemy (like a boss) and all 3 hits land, I will get 16 * 3 = 48 mana back. other passives add to this efficiency so the reality is I am already gaining mana back as long as I'm hitting 1 target.

[patent sphinx]

So what stats on the gear to get crit cap.

[next swallow]

if I am hitting 2 or more targets then it rapidly refills my mana. for mapping where there are chunks of enemies I can just spam off 4-5 glaciers into a pack and move on. I am at about 600 corruption and just blasting through things.

and for bossing I am finally at the point where I can roll all my buffs, then stand still and hold the glacier button down (with +300% ish cast speed bonus) and not run out of mana

[next swallow]

so the loot filter is something I got from another discord server called the sanctum market. you can find them with google.

[patent sphinx]

Im still doin monolith quest. So loot filter maybe need for high end game mechanic?

[next swallow]

the strategy is to buy uniques with 0 legendary potential, but that have good rolled stats on the variable stats which matter to you, and also a good low price.
then you take these uniques to a nemesis machine and if you get an egg, you can replace the egg with a unique of your choosing.
then you can empower the machine a couple times and add random positive effects to that unique item.
sometimes it will slam random stats onto the gear, but what you are aiming for is that it can instead add between 1-4 legendary potential to an item that used to have none.
so with this mechanic you can buy something for 2million and then gamble it into something "worth" 100s of millions to billions of gold, and attempt to get the stats you want on that, with it being much cheaper per attempt at god gear.

[past obsidian]

raxx on youtube has a good filter

[next swallow]

I heard good things about raxxanteraxs loot filter too so I am sure that or the one from the sanctum market would be fine.
I would say you should turn on a loot filter around when you are like level 50-70? imo

[patent sphinx]

Nemesis is available at any monolith map right? If we put the item to the egg, we cant use it until we empower is it?

[past obsidian]

not every map

[next swallow]

nemesis can spawn in campaign or in dungeons or in monoliths, but it isnt guaranteed

also I dont have any confirmation of this but me and my friends think the nemesis machine works a little better on higher corruption levels

[patent sphinx]

I see. Coz i found several map that has egg on the nemesis. But i didnt put anything on the egg

[next swallow]

ya well this is one of the several ways you can take advantage of the new cycle mechanic and profit.

if you find a good item yourself that is LP0 you can gamble it to raise it to higher LP and sell it for a high value.
if you are seeking your ideal gear you can buy stuff off the bazaar for gambling with upgrades but the result will be bound and not sellable.

[patent sphinx]

So first maybe complete all monolith quest the farm gear at higher corruption ?

[next swallow]

its not either or, tbh you do both at once. if you are early in the game you dont need to worry about the potential benefits to nemesis machine at higher corruption

anything will do. you can get really lucky. like my friend for instance took an LP0 item to LP4 and then sold it for 1 billion gold lmao.

[patent sphinx]

The gambling works only from nemesis with eggs right?

[next swallow]

uh I mean, you also have to gamble in the process of making exalted items for slam bases, then you also have to gamble when slamming those exalted items into uniques.

so by doing what I am suggesting it is like 2-3 layers of gambling you need to be successful with for the best outcomes

[patent sphinx]

So not gambling from the uniq base with 0LP?

[next swallow]

but, again, I have made god gear and I did it for 100s of millions of gold instead of doing it for 10s of billions of gold. my graveyard of failed items in my stash is worth billions and billions of gold if I had actually bought them with the LP they ended up with.

the nemesis machine only works with unique items, and only ones with 0 LP and with nothing slammed on them already. yes it is gambling trying to get LP, especially high LP on an item this way. But if it's 300 million gold for a poorly rolled LP1 of something and it's 30 million gold for a well rolled LP0 of something can you start to see the logic?

[patent sphinx]

Any guide or sources i could look up to for this gambling mechanic?

[next swallow]

I am sure you can find people who explain it either on youtube or on this discord, but I kinda already explained it. Find nemesis machines until you find one that has an egg. Replace the egg with a LP0 you want to gamble with. Empower, fight the guy. Find another machine. Empower and fight him again. Find another machine. Challenge, kill him, and claim your rewards.

You can empower twice and each time has a chance to do something beneficial to each of the four items shown in the screen.
So you might empower once and see an LP1, and then empower again and get lucky enough to get boosted further to LP2, 3, or 4.
You can also just hit the jackpot and empower once and hit an LP4 I think. But yeah

[patent sphinx]

Oh the last part is challenge him to get the item back.

[next swallow]

you'll have to kill him a few times per item you attempt to upgrade in this way.
also if you kill him but you die, and the loot is left on the ground, you'll respawn and it'll all be gone. even if you are playing coop.

so, yes, eventually its better to do this on high corruption but consider the added risk of dying and losing your items. You want to be at a safe enough corruption level that you can guarantee you're not risking your items

I need to go afk for a lil bit but if you have more questions I will return to them

[patent sphinx]

Ok. So this few times empowering with nemesis happen on one map or several map? Coz i always see 1 nemesis on a map

[next swallow]

its over a few maps, youll never see more than 1 nemesis per map and sometimes 0.

[patent sphinx]

Ye thats what i thought. Ty

[gentle mango]

finally got to 1k on shatterstrike

i'm never playing melee again

[weary blaze]

Idk if it has been tested yet but you could try to wait until it has a weaver item in it and an egg to empower. I don’t know if the nemesis will empower the weaver item in it so this could lead to more chances of empowerment.

[next swallow]

thats smart

but I think it can add more weavers will to WW items, no?

[harsh thistle]

dunno if you got an answer on this but man, this is amazing for a wrongwarp build imo, you get a ton of movespeed that will boost all your damage AND mana AND crit chance, also immune to slow is a nice bonus since your dmg is tied to your movespeed. I'd use it right away in my build.

[past obsidian]

Does item LP dropped from prophecies scale with corruption too?

[vernal grove]

howdy all, how can i find the firstarters torch? sorry still learning the game and the market i cant understand

[unreal umbra]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2tu-dSSWMo tl;dr no

[harsh thistle]

that's quite good to know, it means cheap architect prophecies that give you like 4 uniques on kill are extremely worth

take about 1 min for this much loot, much better than mono prophecies

[unreal umbra]

you can take whatever comes up instead of rerolling endlessly, which is the main takeaway. the dungeon ones are pretty easy to proc in general

and you dont have to worry about it not being in your 1000 corruption timeline coz the drops will be the same

[harsh thistle]

they are but doing dungeon seems like a waste of time to me unless you need one of the uniques from the boss, or need to upgrade a unique to legendary

[unreal umbra]

the end boss timeline ones used to be kinda bad to take if they weren't in your normal timeline, but now you can just envy your way to the boss quickly, so those are ok now too

[harsh thistle]

I still think it's quite slow, I'm doing them all for the harbingers and my god it feels bad when you're doing one you don't care about (no blessing to aim for, no boss unique you want, and no special monos giving items you want)

got my first near perfect (albeit 0 LP) heart though, that feels good. In the egg it'll go

[unreal umbra]

doing them for the harbingers is slow coz you start at 100 and the stability moves super slow at that corruption. you have to make your way to the the shade at least once to get your catchup to work.

[mystic tundra]

Except when dungeons are dcing 50%+ of the time lol

[unreal umbra]

yeah i've had a some in between level endless load screens

[mystic tundra]

I’d kill for some. It’s like 3/4 attempts every time for me. I spent a few hours trying to slam gear and only got a handful in

[deft monolith]

I've never played a mage in this game yet and I was wondering a few things. Can disintegrate apply on hit affects, and is it affected by cast speed for more procs of damage. I'm interested in figuring out how to make it good

[bleak wind]

No on hit effects, as it is continuous damage. As for cast speed it scales

[deft monolith]

Daaaam. That would have been amazing ok

[gentle mango]

there's a trait to make it apply ignite but it's once per second, so it's pointless

[silver aurora]

For idols which performs better, ward gained at low health or ward retention?

[past obsidian]

Why is coc meteor better than pure glacier for map clears?

[rapid hinge]

good, hope there isnt anyone started arena before the fix and get to 2 billion waves

[carmine hazel]

depends what build you Play, 4 me retention is you have HP, ward gained if you play w/o hp ?

[carmine hazel]

becouse its raining fire, and proced Meteors are autoaiming xD

[unreal umbra]

they did well. impressed.

are you at computer? can i see planner 😄

[rapid hinge]

dont lower your standard, this shouldnt haved passed to release in the first place. They had a whole *ss CT

I'm just salty that while they had a whole CT program with selected ppl and somehow we still ended up being tester

[deft monolith]

does disintegrate crit if it doesnt count as a on hit

[rapid hinge]

no hit = no crit

[deft monolith]

ah y'know what good point lmao

[past obsidian]

the guide says not to pick arcane turrent for coc meteor, but has anyone picked it and had successful results?

[rapid hinge]

your mana will go 100-0 real quick

[past obsidian]

I think it could be viable with insane amount of mana, like 2.5k

[rapid hinge]

ìt's about efficiency, static orb will always be more efficient than meteor

[harsh thistle]

no, cast speed does not increase disintegrate damage. It only makes the cast animation faster so you have to wait less time for the first tick of dmg to happen

[waxen sigil]

no just cause it has a shorter cd

[deft monolith]

would sorcerer or runemaster be better for disintegrate? What do you guys think?

upon further inspection it feels like sorcerer is probably better

[waxen sigil]

did the current ladder chars use that endurance bug for 100 dr

[rapid hinge]

no

that would be very pathetic

[waxen sigil]

i got damage 100% sorted out now for my char

i just need to not die, didnt realize how powerful/skillfully implemented that new ward decay formula is

[rapid hinge]

yeah i really like it

[waxen sigil]

yea awesome change imo

well guess im wearing a shield then lol

or aergons refuge, old underapreciated staff

[rapid hinge]

aergon staff got huge indirect buff this patch imo
it's just so slept on

[sleek meteor]

i want nemesis to be every area

[harsh thistle]

rly hard to get LPs on it tho right

[sleek meteor]

they should add some way to increase legendary potential

like sacrifice a bunch of uniques with lp on them to increase the lp of a chosen unique

[waxen sigil]

but now u have to hoard a bunch of uniques, n how many do you think is fair to take a really good item with high rarity like say 90 from 1 to 2

[rapid hinge]

LPL 70 so not that bad, but it's still a very rare drop

[harsh thistle]

right

[grizzled spruce]

Did you enjoy this over raw glacier? Gear is pretty much the same +- stormcarved/belt/amulet

Or anyone else that tried both for that matter

[harsh thistle]

this is fun to play

[mossy snow]

didn't tried yet but for sure faster clearing echoes and strong

[gloomy epoch]

is there mage that can use that ring like 100% ?

[astral ferry]

sorry but no :/

[marsh thunder]

can slamming items break them? like poof its gone, or did i just lose my 3lp harbinger to a bug?

[proud swift]

If I take the Celestial Conflux node which gives 42% chance to proc elemental nova on hit in the frostclaw skill tree then does it also give me the rune associated to Elemental nova when I play rune master?

[cyan bluff]

as aspell blade wich one is better for end game
Flame reaver or Shatterd strike?

[slow pendant]

i wanna find a good "one shot" spellblade build

really been enjoying coc meteor + static orb build

[gentle mango]

good luck with that

[stuck fable]

wish me luck.. just put an mad ladle on an egg

[nimble shoal]

No, you only get runes from direct casts

[bold mason]

Has anyone put together a decent endgame disintegrate build?

[waxen sigil]

Um ahcktually… direct elemental skill uses

[atomic storm]

If you're an int-stacking sorcerer, do you basically need to go 0hp pure ward build? (Or you're wasting the ward retention component?)

[celest urchin]

Is there a balance patch coming someday ?

[celest urchin]

You have the bloody nip one

[slow pendant]

Cheers, will look that up

[nimble shoal]

Someday for sure. Probably like 2-3 months or so from now.

[grizzled lily]

There is a hotfix coming soon for dots/nemesis/spire

[slow pendant]

Do you know it’s content? 👀

[grizzled lily]

just a hotfix for some ragequit factors most likely

[fluid anchor]

do i add critical stike chance + spell critical strike chance to find out my total crit chance?

or is it diminishing?

[hardy loom]

depends on ur base crit

[barren shoal]

I guess just lower dmg for them

[rapid hinge]

did the Never Late bug get fixed yet or not?

[nimble rover]

yday it was not fixed. idk if there was any patch note today

[rapid hinge]

what exactly was the bug may i ask. From what i've read if you have >5 points in it, the visual will not show the buff but it will be on 100% uptime
But i was testing and it's not the case for me

[nimble rover]

let me check right now

30 static orb casts 27 crits with 50% sheet spell crit chance

i guess it is still working idd

[bleak wind]

I believe shatter strike. Flame reave got me to 600 and it's Bella hard to go higher, surbivability wise. Damage still holdup thou

Saw someone got to 1k with shatterstrike

[gentle mango]

i reccomend low life for melee spellblade

[bleak wind]

Exsang+boneclamor+experimental gloves or shackles then? I need Vaion's chariot for boots slot

[gentle mango]

i actually just used 2 piece exsang + experimental gloves too

boots was too much of a dps loss, but just the 2 helps the weakness of no ward generation without hitting stuff

what did you cook with vaions boots anyways

[bleak wind]

I use Fire converted surge + surge casting circular Flame reave. Using a Jasper. Plus the Fire + Cold more damage idol

Hit a 9million Crit one time on Orobyss

But just squishy as heck even with 4K ward from Boneclamor helm and intelligence stacking

Also have a Titan's Heart right now

[gentle mango]

interesting, yeah i abandoned my flamereave starter because of the lack of ward gen compared to shatterstrike

was going for flamereave only build with 4s cooldown mana strike for mana

[bleak wind]

All boneclamor helm lol, plus about 200% nec resistance, cycle starting was a bit painful, but as soon as I got a Jasper + the helm it was very fast climb. It also gives int + dex so that's nice.

[gentle mango]

google exiled mage farm

[elfin flame]

i need a wrongwarp as well. drop rate is horrid

[bleak wind]

Yea the only ladle I got was from a nemesis, He got it to 2LP and I proceeded to lost it cuz of the Toxin pool after he dead.

[empty locust]

I'm really struggling with the Abberoth fight on Spellblade. I'm easily clearing 400-500 corruption, but - particularly that last chunk - keeps getting me when the arena shrinks and it's difficult to stand still long enough to hit him to generate ward. My current stats are 1077 health, but with 3.2k resting ward, 50% damage reduction from armor (before buffs from teleport, all resistances capped at 75%, 544% ward retention, 50% cooldown reduction for permanent uptime on Enchant Weapon, 135 intelligence.

Im running a variation of the Spark Charge build and am pretty solid on damage.. sacrificing any more to improve survivability further just drags the fight out even longer.

Are there any current Spellblade builds that do decently against Abberoth that aren't also just using melee attacks as a means of casting spells (i.e. a true melee-based build rather than spark charge battery)?

Edit: I'm also bonus crit damage reduction capped.

[unreal umbra]

its weird for me when i tested it too, it appears to work for meteor but not static orb. didnt test glacier properly because 8% from the tree and i didnt want to respec.

[gentle mango]

pretty sure normal shatterstrike still works fine with bloody nib

[elfin flame]

whats the go-to mana stacking build rn?

glacier?

[unreal umbra]

coc meteor/static orb, glacier/static orb, pure glacier

i recall someone saying you need -3 or its bricked

[scenic dock]

why do you want it to cost more than 40

[unreal umbra]

Arcane Current in the sorc tree

[mystic tundra]

no int but... I'm diggin it

[proud current]

Anyone interested?

[woven moss]

Mages would never stand a chance verse a primalist or sentinel 1v1

[harsh abyss]

Hmm, that would be an interesting situation. Depending on the builds it could go any which way.

[elfin flame]

pssh. easily. fireball homing at the start.

gl avoiding an unavoidable spammed uberball right to the dome

[nimble rover]

Have you heard about tornado storm bolt? 😄

[elfin flame]

depends on who's projectile is faster.

[rancid turret]

curious if anyone has a good damage-over-time build. I didn't see any updated ones for the new patch, not sure if anything changes. Happy with sorc or spellblade (did Runemaster last season, so excited for something a ltitle new). If it's just going to be nightmares, I can look at other options. 🙂

[surreal talon]

Spell damage vs intelligence on ring?

[south yoke]

can someone explain me how to craft fractured crown? like if i was a baby 6 years old

[unreal umbra]

Obtained from:
Using Rune of Ascendance on Runed Visage that has Mana and Damage Dealt to Mana Before Health prefixes with 21+ total affix tiers

[past obsidian]

So I got a 2lp wrongwarp and a exalted wand with t7 mana and mana regen - should I just go ahead and try slamming? 2lp wrongwarp's are common to find, right?

[gentle mango]

2lp certainly isn't common

[past obsidian]

okay, then I will go farm a t7 mana + mana spent as ward

[past obsidian]

How is the auxiliary capacity node of static orb for coc metor build on bossing?

[unreal umbra]

no one takes it. dont know the reasoning

[woven moss]

Mana stacking is cheating

[past obsidian]

Does lagon's relic drop chance increase with corruption?

[red wing]

Will generic crit on my gloves affect my spells crit, or does it have to be explicitly spell crit?

[hardy loom]

Hmmm so I'm doing this full health build on shatter strike spellblade 😂 stacking int,dex,hp and for dmg using nibs and eye of reen, with melee leech on glove to heal any bleed dmgs ..
Only at 300c for now still settling my blessings.. hopefully it don't let me down xd

[merry veldt]

It will work

[red wing]

Awesome, thanks sir/ma'am

[merry veldt]

Spell crit has the advantage to scale higher tho.
As usual: The more narrow a stat, the higher it usually rolls

[gentle mango]

yes

[sacred flume]

hey guys i'm lvl 77 trying to farm Frostbite Shackles , do i just keep staying in the blood,frost ,death timeline?

[unreal umbra]

it's a boss drop only from blood frost and death timeline (formosus)

[past obsidian]

I got hella lot farming to do then 😦

[sacred flume]

so i just continue spamming echos in the timeline?

[past obsidian]

Is a really good exalted chest better than a mediocre unstable core without mana slam?

[unreal umbra]

possibly. too many variables

[unreal umbra]

yeah, but only the boss has a chance of dropping it, so go as far away fromthe centre as possible so you get more stability and encounter more bosses. higher corruption better too if you can

[sacred flume]

how do i increase corruption?

[unreal umbra]

are you doing normal mono or empowered?

[sacred flume]

normal

should i just lvl then come back and farm on empowered?

[unreal umbra]

i woudnt bother trying to farm normal mono. you want to get to empowered first

yeah

[rapid hinge]

1000%

Even with mana slam

[unreal umbra]

@rapid hinge do you think dmg to mana build is still the play for arena?

[sacred flume]

do monolith maps scale with your lvl?

[unreal umbra]

early normal monos are static levels

[past obsidian]

cocmeteor glacier - which part of damage scales with mana besides static orb?

[unreal umbra]

they go higher the further up you get, up to 90 for the top 3

[sacred flume]

how ot unlock empowered rifts?

[unreal umbra]

complete a 90

or 3?

i cant remember now, it used to be complete all 3 90s

or is it only for alt you only need to do 1 90

[robust junco]

1st char need to do all 3

[rapid hinge]

Never tried so i cant say
As long as you can solva the damage i guess

As long as you can 1 shot siege golem/snake queen you have potential to climb high

[sacred flume]

do any builds actually use set items for end game haha

[harsh thistle]

no

(sadly)

[stuck fable]

maybe lighnitng meteor no?

[harsh thistle]

right yeah that might be the only exception

[harsh abyss]

Shattered Lance is also used

[robust junco]

Ferebor too

[harsh abyss]

The problem with sets is that they're kind of boring for the endgame. Once you get your Vilatria set with decent rolls, the chase is kind of over. Your weapon and helmet slots are filled and you don't have anything to do for those slots except get slightly better rolls maybe.

I'm looking forward to whatever they're cooking up to improve them in the future. Legendary Potential was a genre altering addition

[rapid hinge]

you dont exactly want sets to be too good else you'd have D3

Grimdawn has a pretty sweet spot with sets if you ask me

[harsh thistle]

sets are basically the grim dawn end-game for a lot of builds, but they're considered the same as uniques

slightly worse as a one off but so much better than normal uniques with set bonus

[rapid hinge]

a lot of builds != all builds

high rolled monster infrequents are always the chased items in GD

[harsh thistle]

a lot of builds just don't function without sets though

MIs will be on flexible gear slots

[wicked halo]

wts. one and only on market with 3 LP
im open to negotiate price 🙂

[sleek meteor]

i dont think this channel is for selling stuff

fc?

theres some items that increase mana cost

[waxen sigil]

Is the new lightning wand not the best now? Looks amazing

[tough dove]

Does Sorceror's "use" lines like Lost Knowledge or Archmage mean directly use, not triggered like Harbinger of the Stars belt?

[nimble rover]

passives from the sorc tree which based on used mana doesnt work with evade sadly

i have fc with -4 wrong warp 39.6 tooltip and all my passives are working

[stuck fable]

man disco ball so much less stress than ms spark charges

[rapid hinge]

arcane current doesnt work, i've talked about this here with FrozenSentinel before, even had some clips you can search

[waxen sigil]

yea but that;s not even why im assessing it (maybe inaptly) so high, it's +3 lightning skills

[nimble shoal]

Yes, it means direct use. No other ways of casting involve a mana cost.

[rapid hinge]

if you use wand yes

[zinc patrol]

spark charges from arcane current dont proc at 39.6, only the fragment 10-12% procs. huge frostclaw damage loss at 39.6 with -4 wrongwarp

for some reason the ward gen on lost knowledge DOES proc at 39.6 though

you dont need the -3 if you're going dagorrath, you can go 2 in gifts of winter/frostclaw efficiency idol

[weary hamlet]

That's just a generic problem of set items in general, in any game. They are fixed BIS items for multiple slots in your build. And in LE they already have a much better system in legendaries, I fail to see a reason to even have sets as an item category here. They are doing the same thing but worse.

[tough dove]

Any suggestions for ST for a manastacker Meteor CoC (triggered by Glacier)? Or do I just have to bite the bullet and do Manacharged Static Orb?

[nimble rover]

lost knowledge is working tho. ehg is ehg i guess

[zinc patrol]

yes 100% lost knowledge is working. i was sorting this out with someone and we were going crazy trying to figure out what's happening here with the rounding/order lol

[harsh abyss]

I like them from a thematic perspective, and don't really mind needing to equip multiple pieces to get even more powerful/specific effects. I just wish you could have LP on set items so that there was a way to improve them with the really important affixes that you can get for your build.

[plush anchor]

Welp.. got some lvlin to do..

[proven haven]

No, you can use -4 or -5, you just take the point out of gift of winter. You do not need it, or the lightning conversion

I'm currently running a -4 and it's fine.

[pulsar galleon]

Is this worth putting on for glacier build

[plush anchor]

so weird seeing certain optimized builds make weird item choices.

like Shatter strike using Dagaroths dagger,
and frostclaw uning an exalted, not Dagaroth

[pulsar galleon]

I try to use the guides to help me judge because i don't know/fully understand all the interactions and optimization

[wicked plank]

is physical penetration useless for glacier sorcerer?

[harsh abyss]

Dagaroth dagger is really good as a general weapon: It's got flat crit, flat spell, all resists and crit multi. If you don't have anything better then it's a good option.

Also using it on a melee attack makes sense because you can use melee to proc frost claw, which can crit and proc the effect of Dagorath's

[limpid badge]

I'm about to give up on mana stacking shock build. Is glacier really the only good sorc build?

[zinc patrol]

frostclaw

[mystic tundra]

not bad I guess.. from nemesis.

[pulsar galleon]

Yeah been looking for one of those

[limpid badge]

Do you have a build link?

[zinc patrol]

Look up frozensentinel on YouTube and you can start with the frostclaw no static orb when leveling, and if you have good end game gear to transition go frostclaw+static orb

[upper fern]

You hae to not take the winters node that decreaes mana cost

[plush anchor]

Anyone attempted a Runemaster Nova build? i feel there's potential there with some of the uniques available

[mystic tundra]

56 fp but everything T5+ so can't change anything lol. Wonder if this would have been useable if it was lightning pen instead

[harsh abyss]

You could gamble a rune of removal, might hit the cold and you can add whatever you want

[ivory palm]

Hi, on a frostclaw build, is it better to have a relic with frostclaw lvl ( any rank ) or a twisted hearth without frostclaw lvl ?

[upper fern]

Which frostclaw build? I don't think any are running Twised Heart anymore at all

[ivory palm]

I actually play a lightning frostclaw build with some spark charges / elementals nova

[upper fern]

Then you will want a stormcarved testament, I don't think anyone is running the elemental nova portion though due to getting the Manacost to 40 for FC

[ivory palm]

I'm a pretty new player, I start this season, I play a runemaster
ATM I don't see a lot of builds on YouTube or others sites, so I play the frostclaw version 1.0 I guess, is out completely outdated now ?

[upper fern]

Yes, very outdated. Most people are playing Sorc Frostclaw

[eager cedar]

new to the game but hardcore(plays alot) D4 gamer what build should i lvl as? i love great AoE

ST dont have to be very high

[upper fern]

Glacier Sorc is the probably the best mage leveling build

[eager cedar]

ok

so what should i follow

@upper fern

[ivory palm]

What makes sorc better than runemaster now for frostclaw ? If i dont want to make a reroll ( don't want to do the campaign a second time ), what should i play as a runemaster ?

[upper fern]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/sorcerer-leveling-guide For leveling, this is probably among the best. A lot of those are going to be endgame builds

[eager cedar]

Guess levling one

[upper fern]

Sorc got major revamps in their passive tree. The Spark Charge version really only works in sorc. And the Frostbite one is also better. RM also got some pretty siginficant nerfs in 1.1

That being said, RM is still really strong, but I don't know/can't receommend any guides for leveling or playing one as I I haven't done it this season

[ivory palm]

Ok ty, i don't want to push an other character as the campaign takes a lot of hours, but i don't see a lot of builds anywhere, as a new player it's hard to find something for 1.1, specially with RM lol

[upper fern]

Once you get used to it, you can rush the Campaign pretty quick. I got to Monos in about 6ish hours the other day on a new character

[hushed sigil]

Wait wait wait I've been gone a while what happened with frostclaw
Bro my crit ward RM build 😦

[long cave]

hi guys any good new unique for fire dot builds?

[valid flame]

Does shatter strike always run out of mana?

[mystic tundra]

I can not get Orion's eye to drop to save my life

[waxen sigil]

Cuz it’s rare bro like top 5 rarest in game

[waxen sigil]

They got more mana scaling, chance to refund mana and more mana related hotness

[valid flame]

is there a shatter strike build that doesn't require spark charge and is not uber gear?

[mystic tundra]

damn didn't realize... rip

[gentle mango]

pretty much if you want good skill points, normal bloody nib build works fine

[valid flame]

Can you link the build?

ty

[radiant vessel]

Pog

Make sure to take note of the disclaimer at the top though lul

[radiant vessel]

Anathor thing to take note of is that you can swap out frost claw for just speccing teleport or surge instead, it'll make your mana economy a little better in exchange for worse sustained ward but it's not a big deal tbh. I might actually change the guide to spec teleport

I'll have to do some testing first though

[valid flame]

Yeah. I don't want to do frostclaw

[radiant vessel]

Yeah teleport or surge will do just fine

Ive played with both and personally prefer teleport, but surge gives more ward because of the on crit node and stuff

Teleport is just a better movement skill

If you have any questions about the build feel free to ping me

[gloomy topaz]

thank god it lands
now I can bother to finally make Spark charge build

[mystic tundra]

you really only need enigma for that build to work. I have gaze but dont even use it, but grats on landing the INT slam!

[gloomy topaz]

just enigma gives too low crit for me to bother over standard Glacier until 4% crit Gaze

[mystic tundra]

run 2x phantom grip?

[gloomy topaz]

still RIP though lol

seem like I can not put points into Gift of Winter at all

[mystic tundra]

oof

how rare is a mad ladle 3lp?

[gloomy topaz]

@proven haven anyway to solve this
seems like build only works with -3 mana cost and below wand
otherwise seems like I can not go lightning claw altogether

[mystic tundra]

you dont have ladle for -3?

[gloomy topaz]

using this, which I don't think I'm going to change anytime soon
also ladle refuse to drop for me, maybe 1lp at best lol

[mystic tundra]

ah damn

I just got my first wrongwarp yesterday 2lp and -3, but I prefer to use ladle

ive found 7 ladle in the past week

2 of them 2lp, never seen 3+

[gentle mango]

i farmed exiled mages for 2 hours and got 2 3LP ladels
