🧙┃mage

[forest bane]

360k with teleport and all the buffs up

[nimble rover]

it can be 200 tho who knows 😄

[forest bane]

otherwise 140k

[nimble rover]

with buffs my tooltip rn is 2.6 mil

[grizzled spruce]

Im out of keys after all the crashing, otherwise i have like 3 wrongwarps to slam and 1 sick rolled unstable core

[grizzled spruce]

noize

[unreal umbra]

140 seems a bit low for 1.7k mana

Do you have 5/5 in top node?

[grizzled spruce]

My 115k is at 1624 mana, but im 4/5 top node,i rolled scatter blast for my last pt (still no + head)

[unreal umbra]

That last point in node is a lot of damage

[nimble rover]

these nodes are huge for static orb

[grizzled spruce]

Yeah for tooltip atleast, but isnt scatter just *4 technically?

could prob drop one in open circuit or something else instead tho, i just expected to have a helmet by now

[grizzled spruce]

115 to 162 🙂

[unreal umbra]

Nice

[forest bane]

Oh oh 2lp

Now RNG will screw me by getting two suffixes on there

[mystic tundra]

life of a COF player 😄

[bold mason]

hey I am struggling with the maxroll plasma orb rune master build due to inconsistently hitting the correct inputs on the keyboard to get the runes in the right order to cast plasma orb. this is especially happening during mono boss fights due to the chaotic nature of the fights. any tips besides get good lol?

[unreal umbra]

pretty good roll gl

[unreal umbra]

you could try immutable order so it doesnt matter what sequence you press stuff

[forest bane]

FML

[unreal umbra]

sadge.

[forest bane]

Yeah

[unreal umbra]

had some back luck yesterday, 3 bricks in a row

[forest bane]

With poe around the corner I think this is going to be it for me >.<

I have 105 int unbuffed, wtb more mana slams :<

[hardy loom]

Not much luck this league, slammed tons of exile boots and none hit movespeed. Fml

[woven lark]

If you are not moving (holding left click) inputs dont get buffered

So you need to be even more precise

[forest bane]

Am I the only one that feels FC is more faster than coc meteor/glacier?

[mystic tundra]

rip. only one ive found so far too.

[robust gorge]

F

[unreal umbra]

its ok, it was ony 3% anyway

[south yoke]

whats better?

[unreal umbra]

gaze

but those peak slams pretty bad

did it miss +2 static orb?

[south yoke]

+4 t_t

was t7 and t6 mana

[unreal umbra]

oh wow. sadge

did you get to creation?

t7/t6 is huge

[forest bane]

Can FC/static orb be played without enigma? Or will the clear feel really bad? I usually play at 300 cause anything over this I can't do bosses easily

[unreal umbra]

needs enigma to function

[gentle mango]

any black hole build suggestions? i give up with ignite

[marsh oasis]

Any Runemaster's here with a 300 corruption build that isn't plasma orb?

[gentle mango]

hydrahedron or frost claw should still be strong

[past obsidian]

good point. I think I got a thing or two worthy of creation

[unreal umbra]

i always creation anything that's remotely good. they are so easy to get on cof

[forest bane]

what is creation?

[marsh oasis]

I might try Hydrahedron, thanks. I haven't found one red ring in 600 hours though. :/ I'll have to COF it.

[past obsidian]

Like the mirror in POE

[gentle mango]

i haven't seen a red ring on CoF in about 600 hours bro

ring prophecies were my main one to farm last season too for ocearon

[marsh oasis]

Yeah, nevermind on that build. I see you have to hold flame shield for max time to get the F,F cast........ You can't do that VS t 4 Julra.

[gentle mango]

it does a lot of damage, it won't be an issue

you're also giga tanky during flame rush

[marsh oasis]

The beams though. I might try it. I have most of the gear ready.

[gentle mango]

really the only reason it's not a higher tier is the lack of ward generation for bosses, but it's mapping is great and damage is great

bossing being long shade of orobyss fights and maybe abberoth now, dungeon bosses die in seconds for it

[marsh oasis]

I killed Aberoth at level 85 with bleed hammerdin. This class..... it aint happening. lol

[forest bane]

ah okay

[unreal umbra]

i left it running

im at work 😛

does that mean i've done 17 14 hour streaks

[cloud inlet]

How are ppl approaching yulra with meteor glacier mage? im going out of mana from static orbs and have a hard time killing her cause im not getting enough time to regenerate mana w focus.

[past obsidian]

My philosophy is to outgear the boss so that I don't have to do the mechanics. With that said, I am sorry but cant help you. 😂

[cloud inlet]

yeah used to oneshot her l ast season but for some reason my dmg feels lackluster even tho id say my gear aint too bad

[marsh oasis]

Switching to Runemaster frost claw . 🙂

[gentle mango]

my hydrahedron shill failed

[past obsidian]

guys please help: how do I best craft t5 int on this one?

[mystic tundra]

Seal melee then add INT

[past obsidian]

glyph of despair?

[unreal umbra]

Add the suffix first

Then T1 seal is guaranteed

[past obsidian]

chance to shred armour on hit is a pretty good suffix for this one

don't need any resist, as I currently have zero resist anyways.

[unreal umbra]

Yeah shred or crit reduced

Zero resist?

[mystic tundra]

Bro likes to live dangerously

[past obsidian]

is this something?

[south monolith]

for the mana blessing, do i need tro be 200+c, cant get it to show up?

[unreal umbra]

Looks pretty good

200c just gives you a better chance

[past obsidian]

how good is fraility on hit?

[unreal umbra]

Worth

[mystic tundra]

Nice gz

[past obsidian]

Are we still swapping out enigma for bossing? If so, since we use enigma solely for mapping, how should I slam it?

[unreal umbra]

Depends on your crit chance

Some combo of crit multi and spell crit

[marsh oasis]

Only because i was afraid of Julra. lol

[past obsidian]

hwo rare is confluence at the black sun boss?

[unreal umbra]

not rare at all, pretty much getting 1 guaranteed each time with rank 10 cof

[past obsidian]

I am rank 11 and haven't seen one after doing it 5 times

[unreal umbra]

i have 7 2lps already too, but 3 were from eggs

hmm

might be corruption scaling, im farming at 900-950

[scarlet totem]

Anyone else hit "challenge" instead of "empower" with a good item in the egg 🤣🤣🤣 "distracted gaming" is a hazard

[marsh oasis]

Nope, but i've died, then killed them afterward and lost all my items at least 5 times. lol

[past obsidian]

So I got this ring - should I slam it onto a almost perfect roll 1lp stardial?

alternatively i got a 2lp phantom g

[unreal umbra]

yeah, quite a bit of fp too.

you could either use it for 100% julra, so use discovery to fill last spot so not wasting fp, then rune of refinement until it rolls 16 int, then creation

or put spell damage on prefix to t5, max out ele and hope you have fp left to do the refinement for 16 int and creation

the 100% julra rings i will usually do on a ring that has terrible other rolls and has no hope to be used for anything other than julra bait

the turning it into a good ring can go really well or go sideways really quick. you just have to make a judgement call

this ring here falls more into a good ring catogory than julra bait. it's pretty good, ele resist is good and free open prefix which is the most important

[past obsidian]

I currently have a stardial already with a t6 int

if I put spell damage to it and then creation I get to use it for phantom grip

[unreal umbra]

yeah, i would do that

how good is the phantom grip. you will get other 'bad' t7 int rings for julra later

[unreal umbra]

this is assuming 1lp julra of course. if it's 2lp then you would def want a spell damage one to try and hit the 1/6 chance of int and spell dmg

[mystic tundra]

what do you mean by "100% julra" exactly?

[unreal umbra]

only used for julra, going for the 1/4 chance. so its 16 int slam or bust

[mystic tundra]

ah okay

[past obsidian]

this is the stardial i am working with

[unreal umbra]

everything else is a brick anyway

yeah that's worth. nice one

[mystic tundra]

I think this cycle ive only found one creatione rune, haven't even thought about using it yet

[unreal umbra]

rank 9 cof you can get easy rune of creations from prophs

mg players will even make a cof character just for this

[past obsidian]

so what am i doing here? add t5 spell damage?

[unreal umbra]

yeah t5 spell dmg. dont go too fast 😛

if you see -14s start chunking the fp you might need to reconsider

[past obsidian]

refined once

[dark jay]

i have found 3 runes of creation, used 2 to make fodder of t7 mana wand for slamming

the ultimate endgame

[unreal umbra]

pretty good. would probably settle? up to you

[dark jay]

never settle

[unreal umbra]

haha

i would actually go the extra on the ele res one time

but that's me

depends on the state of your resists

[mystic tundra]

i'd prefer your suffixes but still nice with the maxed T7 Int

[past obsidian]

I think I should have gotten reduced bonus damage from cit on my gloves as I can get armor shred technically from amulet too

[mystic tundra]

yeah

[past obsidian]

still 4 fp left - should I chaos the frail and shoot for reduce damage from crit?

[mystic tundra]

dont think its worth the rng

its like 1 in 21 chance?

[unreal umbra]

yeah no way

[mystic tundra]

frail is good to have

[unreal umbra]

you might even want to slam that into something else if you get 3/4 lp phantom gloves for extra move speed

[past obsidian]

anyways, going in to slam those rings

[unreal umbra]

gl

[mystic tundra]

gl

[past obsidian]

that dial is a rip. now, is this worth slamming?

[marsh oasis]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/QnRzZmVQ I can't find the proper skill rotation for this build, and it's driving me nuts. The video is to unclear to see it. 😦

This build has a guide:

(1.1) Runemaster Spark Charger! - LE Harbingers Of Ruin Build Guide by WolfsGoRawr

[mystic tundra]

lightless arbor T4 kinda sucks man. makes sanctum look easy

[sleek elbow]

What's better, 5% more dr from armor or 2k more ward from 5 to 7k

[unkempt stirrup]

boss die but .....

[gentle mango]

does pulsar for black hole even do anything?

[next juniper]

is rune of ascendance very rare? as a new sorceror still levelling up, what should I use it on?

[waxen sigil]

Wym rotation

You just hold down frosrclaw and use flameward when ur dying and flamerush to move around

The rotation really is just hold down frostclaw that’s it

Sometimes you cast static orb for lightning aegis

[past obsidian]

Is it worth +4 orb slam onto 1lp gaze (4%)?

[rapid hinge]

why would you want gaze for orb tho

[past obsidian]

I think that is the standard

[rapid hinge]

nah

crystal skull + phantom grip is already enough for crit cap

[past obsidian]

okay, well i got some math to do then. These nemsis slams kept giving me crit chance

[dark jay]

slam on 3LP peak of the mountain

preferably t7 mana and t5 static orb instead, because orb doesn't get more damage from 2 extra levels compared to stacking mana

[past obsidian]

my current peak: not amazing but usable at least

[dark jay]

login

[past obsidian]

I am CoF and I hate running dungeons

[unreal umbra]

gg

[dark jay]

i am cof

it's actually not rare for an lp 3

[unreal umbra]

yeah 3lp helm is doable

[dark jay]

i already got 1 in my bank after running like 20 times

[past obsidian]

okay guys

[unreal umbra]

easier than 1lp chest. well used to be. 1lp chest probably easy now with nem

ok, first time trying out this bugfixed neverlate

[gentle mango]

it's actually super sad how bad some builds ward generation is since all the nerfs

relying on low life ward/s is monkaS

[rapid hinge]

let's see what would they do next cycle with falconer

[nimble rover]

how is it enough? it is not

or you mean it is enough with peak?

[scenic dock]

Im really having trouble staying alive. What are you doing in between bursts while focus is on CD and you have no/low mana?

[rapid hinge]

it's easy with peak, you can do without peak tho

[gloomy topaz]

finally

[magic zealot]

Can someone explain me how this buff works and how to get it?

[gentle mango]

why is black hole area so ridiculously small

[nimble rover]

maybe you can. buy you will waste prefixes i guess or idols etc. im not sure its optimal at all

[nimble rover]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/search?query=reen&in_description=1&exact_match=0

[unreal umbra]

i dunno, seems even with peak i wont cap if i just swap peak into current setup

[nimble rover]

with peak + skull and double jurla you will be crit capped in rings window ( thats for bossing)

[unreal umbra]

yeah i guess that's all that really matters

[gloomy topaz]

it's wild how hard it is to get 2lp Julra lol while 1lp is guarantee
guess it's due to the triple stats mechanic that prevents it from becoming too cheesy

[unreal umbra]

lpl 70

the worst part is if you manage to get one, it's then a 1/6 chance to hit both. pretty unviable on cof. but empy hit both 2lp rings on day 3 on mg.

[nimble rover]

yes thats the whole point of mg currently in LE. 1 week gameplay.

mg is useless if you want(interested) to play more tho. because bazaar is dying(even without dupes)

[magic zealot]

Hey sorry but i cant see the image i posted earlier ...

[nimble rover]

this part of the sword is the buff you posted earlier

[rapid hinge]

as it should be

[magic zealot]

ahhh okay thank you so much !!!

does anyone know how much critchance i need to get 100 crit chance ? i dont get it ...

[nimble rover]

it depends on your base crit. you need to do some math

[magic zealot]

where can i see that ? i have on my item 33% but its shows 10% and base is 5% or somthing like that

[gloomy topaz]

pretty much just (base * x%)
generally most have 5% base
so if you have 100% increase crit chance it would become 10% crit

a way to know which one gives base is the + follow by usually single digit number
the crystal skull off hand give you up to 6% base crit chance (11% base now), the 176% then multiply that number up

[rapid hinge]

you dont need to
https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/A2Rm57zA
something like this already enough to cap crit for bossing

[rapid hinge]

t7 int slammed on rings + boots

[nimble rover]

well ye so there is multiple ways. for bossing i prefer 2 julras tho. and im using ms on boots. so ye for me it is not possilble without peak pretty much.

[rapid hinge]

yup cant go wrong with peak
peak was my go-to choice before 1.1
phantom grip gives you the choice to use arcane visage tho

[gloomy topaz]

if only they release something like grip but with actual useful stats outside of the %base crit
but Sorc is already too op rn to need it

not sure how this is a level 14 ring with low LP check as well

[rapid hinge]

eh grip as a base is quite good already, base crit, %crit and %mana

what more do u want 😁

[gloomy topaz]

more resistance would be nice
I suck at filling resistance if I decide to go all in focus in mana and int/crit
at least Rest over Exile help a bit

[real stratus]

dont need resistances if everything is already dead

[rapid hinge]

:smart

[main nimbus]

hello whats the best invocation for RM? ive tried trinity plasma and hydra and it seems trinity is the best, are there any better ones

[gentle mango]

trinity plasma

did you use hydrae box unique for hydra

[main nimbus]

uhh im still level 30

[gentle mango]

ah yeah it's good once you have that

[main nimbus]

how do you get it

is it in the runic invoc or passive

[gentle mango]

it's an item

[main nimbus]

ahh i see

what about for the plasma? i find the plasma a little more fun

[gentle mango]

not really any item for that

[main nimbus]

ahh i see

any reccomended abilties? so far im using chain lightning and fireball, tho i wanna get static orb'

[gentle mango]

plasma orb is the best one to try

[main nimbus]

ah no i meant like, abilities to make the runes

[rapid hinge]

Runebolt is all you need

[main nimbus]

ahh ok ill get that

should i remove all my ponts from the mage passive and put it in sorc?

like make it minimum 20

[stuck fable]

you need 20 in mage no matter what

[main nimbus]

yeah what i mean was, should i keep mage at 20 and invest the rest of my points into the RM, or should i keep this

[sonic beacon]

hey all, quick question please, i am playing a cold mage build and i keep seeing the cold overload icon which makes me deal 80% less cold dmg. Is there a way to avoid this? It's not from a hit of an enemy, i am seeing it after i spam spells mainly.

[rapid hinge]

Read your offhand

[unreal umbra]

if you are using scales, there's 3 variants, cold/lightning, fire/cold, lightning/fire. because of the debuff, you want the one that doesnt have your element in it.

[nimble rover]

if you want to use this catalyst use it with fire/lightning overloads which you will never proc

[unreal umbra]

or just dont use scales

[sonic beacon]

thanks all, didn't notice it at all, it is indeed the offhand. I need to find it again with the cold infusion

[nimble rover]

you dont want cold infusion. you want fire/lightning. also make sure all your spells are doing cold damage

[unreal umbra]

scales legit one of the worst items to farm ever. 1/3 chance to get the one you want, then you kinda need 6% implicit or feels bad. then its hard to get 2lp on it.

[zinc canyon]

Did sorcerer get any good changes?

[unreal umbra]

recent or patch or overall?

[zinc canyon]

the new harbinger patch

[unreal umbra]

oh, yeah good things in general

strongest mage spec now

[zinc canyon]

can i finally stack all the mana?

[unreal umbra]

more mana monkey happy

[zinc canyon]

YAY

Is there anything that lets you convert damage taken to mana?

[nimble rover]

relic/new helmet/helm+body prefixes/sorc tree node

[steel ridge]

question - I'm running spellblade/frostclaw/lightning spark charge build, would frostbite shackles benefit this build? What should I go for if not?

[tidal quartz]

got a question , build is frostclaw static or orb , would strong mind amulet work with ? got a really nice one with 4 lp so?

[nimble rover]

why not? its just extra mana. and a bit of flat

[marsh oasis]

Thanks for the answer. I was like "why is frostclaw cycling through elements?". :/ It's an auto combo then.

[mystic tundra]

Being crit capped on spell just means being at 100%?

[scarlet totem]

So, after you do all 10 empowered monos to kill Harbingers for the first time, what mono do most people choose to build up corruption? And why? thanks

[gentle mango]

i do abomination or bone dragon, chill fights

[nimble rover]

reign of dragons

[gloomy topaz]

anyone knows if Volcanic Orb scales with Cast Speed at all

[south monolith]

Having a tough time bossing at 300+c with Frozens claw/spark build, what could i transition to so i can progress?

[mystic tundra]

you just need more INT. Early on in that build INT > crit

That was the solution for me, had the same problem.

[gloomy topaz]

you can also stand close to them and aim a bit away to hit twice amount or so

[south monolith]

Yep ive watched the vid on aiming away, im also at 135int atm, only 500mana tho.

[mystic tundra]

INT really scales, the more the better. I'm at 151 int and pushing 500 corruption right now with that build, still missing a lot of higher end uniques though

your mana does seem a bit low though

[steel ridge]

does Arcing power in lightning blast apply if cast by dagorath's claw?

[marsh oasis]

Yeah, i've discovered the first thing i don't like about LE. It took 600 hours, but not being able to do T4 Julra to increase my INT, because my build sucks too hard is ..... a very bad roadblock.

Granted i've only every struggled hard with this class type. To be fair to the game.

[mystic tundra]

600 hours? aint no way

[gentle mango]

shoulda gone hydrahedron

[marsh oasis]

haha. Maybe i should have. Agreed.

[gentle mango]

nah idk, link your build planner

[marsh oasis]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/A1Mypp5A Forgot how for a sec. I took off cool down to try and get more Int. I'm dying instantly in 210 cor. LOL.

I really do think the overall nerf to ward NUKED these classes.

[mystic tundra]

I think its fine, usually running around 9k ward with no prob

[marsh oasis]

Sure, but you probably have 200 INT, and ... like everything else that takes quite a long time to obtain. 🙂

compared to all the other classes that can do 400 cor with sub par gear. :/ Sigh

[mystic tundra]

I wish! only 150 INT. and yeah, theres a lot of items I still haven't got yet, and the rare uniques I did find once or twice, got bricked from slams.

[marsh oasis]

i'm at 120 int and i can barely hold 3k Ward. Maybe i'm using frost claw wrong. :/

[gentle mango]

dunno but them gloves are sus

[marsh oasis]

yah. i'm only using them because they put me at 303 mana, My int gloves don't. :/

[potent spoke]

Is Scales of Eterra (fire/Light) worth the slot for Glacier build? I find it lack luster, but it could be my peabrain comprehending it's worth.

[mystic tundra]

I don't play runemaster so can't help much there. but seems like your build is designed for mana stacking (boss melting) with static orb? if so, you can't run that without 1500+ mana ideally. with your gear, you'd be better off with FC spark build

[gentle mango]

runemaster doesn't mana stack really

[marsh oasis]

Yah they don't. I'll check out the FC spark build. Looking at it now, but it's a 4 month old vid.

[mystic tundra]

You should get that chest in nemesis egg ASAP. Also, grats on the helm. I have been farming for that for hours and can't get a single drop, and you landed a 2LP with T7 INT slam.

[mystic tundra]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RoQk84Qcds&feature=youtu.be

[marsh oasis]

Thanks!

[mystic tundra]

Current for this cycle

[marsh oasis]

Yeah, that helm is the only thing i haven't bricked in a while.

[mystic tundra]

thats a GG helm, you're lucky

[gentle mango]

you're missing armour shred and a lot of crit though

[marsh oasis]

Oh that vid is for sorc.

[mystic tundra]

yeah I don't think your build will work properly with Runemaster...

[marsh oasis]

For crit i'm missing my idols. I think.

[mystic tundra]

so if you intend to stick with runemaster, prob need to look at other builds

but again im no expert on runemaster.

[gentle mango]

i'd guess you need the lightning resistance shred blessing as your only source too

it's the OG runemaster build bruh

[marsh oasis]

I normally run Druid/ Rogue. I tried something new this cycle. What a time.

[gentle mango]

you're trolling your mana

put more points in gift of winter and out of ele nova

[marsh oasis]

I see. You're right i think there.

[gentle mango]

it's pointless using ladle with 0 lp

[rapid hinge]

0lp ladle 💀

no strange you're having a tough time at 300c

[south monolith]

Would a wrongwrap be better or just a want with more int/flatdmg?

[mystic tundra]

damn nemesis. isn't this pretty rare or good item? for what class/build?

[ebon rain]

Can be used for several builds. For sorc, can be good for boss dps in high corruption using transversal focus / pot chugging.

[mystic tundra]

thx!

[past obsidian]

So though we swapping to crystal skull for bossing, on the enigma, we still slamming crit chance?

[rapid hinge]

if you can manage to you dont want to have crit chance anywhere on your gear, since that will cut into your mana/crit multi/cast speed

[ebon rain]

Recommend a grimoire too for the dmg after pot.

[rugged shell]

Any ideas on impovements I could make, just a theorycraft idea for now

[past obsidian]

So between gaze and peak, is there a preference or debate on which one gives more crit?

[rugged shell]

Depends on if you have base crit in your build.

[waxen sigil]

No it mostly sucks, I have explored it. It has too much rarity and lp rarity to be practical in any way.

[waxen sigil]

Go back to the comments I made about calculating your crit chance

[past obsidian]

So it is essentially depending on my gear. Not strictly one better than the other.

[rugged shell]

yes, if you dont have base crit and forexample 500% increased crit its gonna be 25% critical hit chance, then peak adds the 260 or so. increasing it to 32 and something

[potent spoke]

Any recommendations on replacing it with a different unique or should probably use a statted Crystal Skull

[waxen sigil]

Crystal skull or dragon eye

[rugged shell]

If then you have 5% base critical hit, and additional 5% from gaze you are 9% base crit, adding 500% to that you get 54% critical hit chance

[potent spoke]

Awesome - Thank you.

[rugged shell]

oh wait it was 4% my bad

[mystic tundra]

if your spell crit chance on the planner is at 100%, you're capped?

[waxen sigil]

WTF bro

[rugged shell]

and im also not thinking this through, 10+500% would have been 60%

[waxen sigil]

Better

[rugged shell]

But you get the point anyways @past obsidian, if you have base crit already its better to use peak, if not then gaze.

[waxen sigil]

Let’s do a thought experiment. What else might capped mean with respect to crit chance?

[past obsidian]

okay so I got a bunch 0lp cores - how much %mana and flat mana on it warrant sending it to the egg for lp?

[waxen sigil]

1

[rugged shell]

as high as possible lol

[mystic tundra]

I just wasn't sure if there was perhaps a base crit chance cap or if its simply about hitting 100% melee or spell crit chance etc.

[rugged shell]

if you hit 100% chance you have a 100% chance to crit, you cant go past it like in some games for "double crits" etc etc etc.

[mystic tundra]

simple enough

[past obsidian]

Let me ask this instead - if your core has 2lp, how much flat and percent mana on there would warrant you slamming t7 affixes on it?

[rugged shell]

would it be an upgrade if you slammed a t7 affix on it?

[waxen sigil]

Depends how wealthy you are and how good your other items are

[rugged shell]

Generally as long as it makes your character better try and get it, if you have a really garbage 2lp core vs a high roll 1lp one with 120 mana and max implicit i'd try and roll t7 mana on the 1lp, but i'd still rather look for a 2lp with atleast decent rolls first.

the best way ill put it is, t7's come and go, so does gear with lp. if you hang onto it forever you cant use it.

[past obsidian]

What's your definition of "decent rolls"?

[rugged shell]

something thats not in the first 40th percentile lol

[waxen sigil]

What if it had 39th percentile flat mana roll but very high implicits that more than made up for it ????

[past obsidian]

debate of poor men

[waxen sigil]

Then what do I do ?

[rugged shell]

Do as you may, im not your god.

[waxen sigil]

Idk wat 2 do tho pls tell me master

[past obsidian]

I only have $2 - taco bell vs mcD's?

[waxen sigil]

The choices u made wrt gear are not that important, you will regret more NOT using things than using them

[nimble shoal]

This one's easy, couldn't even afford anything at McD with $2

[past obsidian]

yep - no need to hold onto things, as I will get much better things later on

can i turn this into an exalt?

[nimble shoal]

No, it already is an exalt

[mystic tundra]

aleady is

[past obsidian]

I thought the game would slow down as I am getting further but it is actually not. Last season I only got to maybe 200 corruption before quitting. Now I am getting higher I get more favors and more boss drops, so it actually keeps up the pace.

[marsh oasis]

I knew playing Hydrahedron would be a pain in the azz to play, and it is. 🙂 But i "think" it might actually be good. I need a good staff.

[past obsidian]

blood vs transient?

[waxen sigil]

Exactly bro, those you can save for a slam or something but they’re not insane or worth holding out for 2 lp best in slot boots

Actually if you’re CoF then maybe that’s a lot rarer but idk I am just going off my beta experience where gearing was a lot harder and those don’t look crazy to me

[sand inlet]

Hello, my fellow mages.
Nihilis(+2 all and lol frailty slam) vs The Confluence of Fate(t7 multiplier + t5 mana slam) for mana stack Static Orb. What you guys think? Couldn't properly test it.

[sand inlet]

IMO blood, for move speed and int.

[rugged shell]

if your resists arent screwed go for blood, the ward gained on transient rest isnt all to amazing from what ive seen

[marsh oasis]

If i follow one more maxroll text guide, only to then find out it's completely wrong once i watch the video guide i'm going to ..... file a complaint. 🙂

[past obsidian]

hit one of em

[waxen sigil]

Bro nice

[waxen sigil]

Brother u have played 600, just use the guide as a skeleton

[past obsidian]

Confronted t4 julra I always afraid of only to find out I could one phase her

[waxen sigil]

I actually think maxrolls is not that great usually, some exceptions but I always had more luck doing my own thing

[waxen sigil]

Both are good, maybe if nihilis has other good rolls it might be better with defenses

But I am big overvaluer of defenses in arena, maybe u don’t die anyway in ur content

If it’s ur only frailty AND has armor then like that’s huge vs taking MORE dmg w confluence

[sand inlet]

I never go arena 😄

[sand inlet]

Thanks

[unkempt stirrup]

which one is better

[sand inlet]

Crit avoid one IMO

[unkempt stirrup]

yea i was thinking like that, but i did t3 sanctum twice, and i can 1shot with the left one with static orb, and i tried with the intelligence gloves and can't 1shot t3 sanctum dangg so confused lol

[sand inlet]

30 mana = 7.5% more dmg, but int = crit and a bit of defense.

[unkempt stirrup]

ohh i see so dmg depends about mana too right, thanks

[waxen sigil]

More casts of static orb and more mana to dmg scaling ???? Of course in that build it does!!!

[unkempt stirrup]

but with left gloves sometimes i got 1.6-2mil dmg, and with right gloves only 1 - 1.6 mil dmg

[mystic tundra]

blessed nemesis damn, now give me LP3!

[past obsidian]

first 2lp confluecne of the cycle

[mystic tundra]

ruined. nemesis giveth and taketh away

[past obsidian]

it has 3% crit anyways.

[mystic tundra]

still works with one phantom grip

[full bluff]

Anyone found a reason to play runemaster over sorcerer this cycle?

[marsh oasis]

Hydrahedron is the only RM build i've found that actually works at 250+ cor with sub optimal gear.

It's a fun build, once you understand how it works, and get your points right.

[unreal umbra]

lucky! bricked 2 already, no more exalts to try

[full bluff]

My tri-elemental invocation build still works on runemaster.

[gentle mango]

[marsh oasis]

You saved a mans Cycle. For sure i was going to delete this character.

[gentle mango]

haha glad it worked out

[forest bane]

meh i'll take it

[past obsidian]

grats

[teal hull]

I just died to julra while she was at 7% because I let my guard down and was hoping my skill with execute her. Dont mages have a passive execute somewhere in their tree? I cant seem to find it

nevermind, I was thinking of a passive in the void knight tree

[past obsidian]

i think falconer can execute wit their bird too

[mystic tundra]

I cannot get a T7 int ring to drop to save my life

[past obsidian]

yeah. some said they only saw 1 or 2 in 600 hrs

[celest urchin]

Orbs don't work ?

[mystic tundra]

Disgusting. Makes me wanna play MG

[celest urchin]

Is the MG still worth after the krach ? Or it's healthier to go CoF ?

[bleak wind]

May I ask what invocations are you using? I was trying to make a build that use the cluster trielemental bombs, but the damage feels quite low So far.

[bleak wind]

Depends on if your build requires meta items. Things like 2LP confluence of fate (6% or so drop rate from the Black Suns boss) goes for around 300mil, so I would say if you play a relatively cheap build it is worth it to farm something like that, get one of them and sell. Then you have enough money to get all the 2LP you want on the market.

[celest urchin]

Maybe it's because i'm too low on cof, i'm just rank 9, but while not beiing too restrictive on the filter nothing good is droping..

[bleak wind]

I am at 600 corruption on MG, started seeing a lot more better exalts and LP unique after like 300 corruption or so. I think if you get to higher corruption and combo that with lots of prophecies you should start getting a bunch of stuff.

[celest urchin]

Yh but with the early gears i'm droping, there's not way i'm able to go above 250 ^^"

[bleak wind]

If you want to take one build to the extreme I think cof is the way to go.

Yea the initial grind is likely the hardest, what build are you playing? Might be worth it to modify the build into a tankier version just to push a little better.

[celest urchin]

I'm trying the plasma Orb RM

After reaching 550 with spellblade shatter strike BUT with mg

[bleak wind]

Ah ok, I don't know much about RM builds this cycle, is the old sparkcharge frostclaw still useable? I think that build is likely tankier than plasma orb.

[celest urchin]

Have absolutly no idea, but after playing a sparkcharge SB wanted some change :p

[bleak wind]

Yea, I did found it easier to find a good timeline to push. I found the bone dragon to be an easy monolith to push corruption in. That dumb dragon and the harbinger is much easier to fight than some other bosses.

[gentle mango]

just go low life on every alt, defense is usually the only issue

[bleak wind]

If only I can wear the acolyte lowlife chest lol, dropped 4 of them at 2LP already, and 2 at 3LP

[mystic tundra]

Corruption level doesn’t affect prophecy drops from what the devs said

Which to me ruins COF

[marsh oasis]

IMO, plasma orb is completely unplayable unless you slam reduce damage from crits in like 2 Uniques. Plus several other tricky to find items. I think the build is trash.......

[mystic tundra]

I’ve been at rank 12 for a week and a half. Doesn’t feel any better lol.

[celest urchin]

Is there builds that are not Warlock sorcerer ou falconer able to go higher than 1k this cycle ?

[mystic tundra]

Bleed hammers?

[sand inlet]

Like the friend said, bleed hammer, mana stack VK, spark charge spellblade.

[celest urchin]

Shatter strike or the Pokerkid version ?

[gentle mango]

i think most stuff can get past 1k tbh

[mystic tundra]

Just needs gg gear really

[gentle mango]

just a matter of some builds being less annoying to kill high shades

[mystic tundra]

Might take a break from the sorc and level a pally or something else to change things up. Or finish my VK at 95. Got a t3 jungle belt to try out too

[sand inlet]

Pokerkid.

[celest urchin]

Ty !

[past obsidian]

for farming boss items, do you complete only echo objective or get most bonus stability?

[sand inlet]

Yw

[sand inlet]

Objective.

[minor sky]

unable to kill the shade at ~720 corruption, struggling with fights taking a while even though I got the impression that melee spark charge had plenty of DPS to go around, am I missing something major somewhere? https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/Bx1YNRqo

[split owl]

guys CoF or MG better?

[south monolith]

anywhere in perticualr to farm the grand glass idols for mana?

[mystic tundra]

I just did the prophecy lenses and blessings. Found pretty much all my BIS idols in a day or two. Not maxed stats but good enough

[south monolith]

harbinger empowered my lp0 to a lp3 spoon and i wasted it...

[past obsidian]

why for orb, crit multi taks prority over mana on wand?

[tame hare]

I made a spellblade because i wanted to use some of the dex gear from playing my rogue and when I went to look up improvements for my shatterstrike setup i found out it's 90% of the way to cyborgwars shatterstrike build already - reen/nib/siphon/shattered chains

[past obsidian]

So when I take my enigma off, the manacharged node of my static orb tree is always one short to max - how to i keep it maxed when i swap enigma with a skull?

[nimble shoal]

You can spec the skill with enigma off, and then when you swap to enigma, just don't allocate the +1 point

[unreal umbra]

only pure dmg wise, coz the mana roll is a hybrid mana roll so you only get 120 for a max roll. whereas you get full 88% crit dmg. but for a balance perspective and surviving and stuff, the the transfusing t7 is still pretty good and worth it in some cases

im using a transfusing t7 wrong warp atm and made surviving in 1000 corruption way better

i only ended up doing it though coz i bricked the last 4 attempts at t7 crit multi ones

[past obsidian]

good night slam

[mystic tundra]

Lucky. I’ve only found a few of these LP1 and bricked them all ugh.

[past obsidian]

I have been spamming lagon this entire day pretty much and sending the relics to the egg.

[past obsidian]

final slam of the night - I got a dozen t6 mana to get through, so why not?

[unreal umbra]

so much luck

[past obsidian]

I have looted like 5 cores today - all rolled flat mana below 20

All my good and alright slams today

[mystic tundra]

What corruption?

[mystic tundra]

Damn you’re cooking haha

[past obsidian]

just shy of 600

[mystic tundra]

Nice. I’ve been trying to farm T7 INT but it’s depressing. Gonna try lagon again.

[past obsidian]

I really need to do some math to figure out if i need a peak or gaze, or they are roughly equal

[gloomy topaz]

gaze if enigma, not even close tbh

peak is fine with crystal skull

I suppose if you have high roll grip and insane int amount you could get away with Peak

[mystic tundra]

Yup. I need gaze for enigma but feels like a pipe dream. Can’t even get dual t7 phantom rings to compliment my t7 INT bone helm.

[past obsidian]

What's the incentive for not swapping between enigma and skull?

oh i guess the incentive is that i have a high lp enigma

[gloomy topaz]

this with max roll everything + int slam on helm, body, 2 rings and t7 spell crit on enigma

[past obsidian]

i am slamming a 1lp gaze - should i use a t6/7 mana +t5 orb exalt or t5 mana + t7 orb exalt base?

I am thinking of using the t7 orb + t5 mana - if t7 orb lands then it's great; if t5 mana lands i will still take it

but if i am using t5 orb and t7 mana base, then it's bad if t7 mana doesnt land

[unreal umbra]

well noobzor has t7 orb, so i'd go with that. consolation prize is there if it misses

[past obsidian]

i have like three +7 orb bases and this one is like the worst - how do I remove the teleport possibly

[unreal umbra]

damn wtf. 3 +4 orbs?

ive had 0

[past obsidian]

i am saving this for like a 3lp

[unreal umbra]

hmm

yeah that's a good base, the fp is low though

[past obsidian]

should i try removing that teleport?

or sealing it

[unreal umbra]

there's probably chances, i lost the page

i think you would try and seal it first though, even if it fails you can removal it

[past obsidian]

okay orb is gone on that one. rip

[unreal umbra]

15% chance to seal a t4

damn. yeah once it's higher than a t2 you need to get rid of, you just need to pray and hope for the best

[past obsidian]

okay now truly last one of the night. I have been on a roll tonight.

[tame hare]

i understand why cyborg was obsessed with shatterstrike now lol

[unreal umbra]

got the peak. bases arent good enough though

[past obsidian]

the armor landed. i will probably have to creation my last orb helm. it is quite good

however, i have a +3% gaze with max t5 mana

[gentle mango]

now play it for real without dying 😂

it's still strong af just dropping bloody nib and losing 50% of your dps though lol

[tame hare]

i'm still doing alright, and i've got some leeway in def since i'm not using mourningfrost

[past obsidian]

wth - is this legal dude

[mystic tundra]

Glass cannon?

[past obsidian]

can one shot boss

and not be a sorc

[tame hare]

i'm still 87 so I don't really have the build all there yet

it should do fine with some DR and third eyes

[mystic tundra]

gotcha. I get one shot through 6k ward so can’t imagine how that works lol

[tame hare]

a lot of it is knowing how to boost your EHP and how to dodge, my falconer on 1500c only has 2.6k life

[mystic tundra]

Good to know. Seems like a fun playstyle

[unkempt stirrup]

anyone here can help me with aberroth quest rq?
i can't beat him on phase 2:(

[past obsidian]

hmmm, i am looting all these 3% gaze's. Are those meeting the crit cap at all?

[mystic tundra]

must be nice lol. From where??

[past obsidian]

prophecy explosions. I looted 3 3% gaze's, lol.

I think I will want the 4%'s

I never knew you can get creation's from prophecies. If I knew, I would not hold onto my t7's

[mystic tundra]

Damn lucky. Haven’t had luck with gaze

[daring vapor]

how do they spellbalde mages survive the debuff of bleed ? i am insta dead ...

[gentle mango]

just don't use the relic until higher ward generation lol

[daring vapor]

where can i see my ward genreation stat?

[past obsidian]

I spam my potions and hope for the best

[halcyon moat]

Can I slam a rouge helm with t7 mana + t5 mana % on a peak of the mountain helmet?

[past obsidian]

then i guess your rogue has to wear it

[halcyon moat]

i see so mage can't wear it? ty for my mage

im not sure. coz i could wear this helm with a minion health even tho i cant put minion health on a non unique helm 2nd pic

thats why im thinking why not i put rouge helm with t7 mana + t5 mana % and slam it on a 2 lp peak of the mountain si i have more chance on getting a mana thingy on my helm.

and rouge t7 mana is like 100k or less i think and t7 mage mana helm cost 40m+

[past obsidian]

if everyone is thinking like you, then the prices will probably be much closer. So it's either everyone's dumb or it will not let your mage wear it

[halcyon moat]

thank you nicknik

[halcyon moat]

this makes me wonder if mana% will work too

[hearty chasm]

is it normal to struggle doing lightless arbor boss fight as frostclaw nova build ? the entangling root attack kills me every god damn time

i dont even know when its coming out

there is nothing to hit to generate ward and them boom your dead

[autumn anvil]

all the attacks are timed, this comes a while after the fight has started, after he does his (second?) small boulder throwing, for me it is usally after I am done kindling the first bonfire and move to the other one
they come back again in the other direction but that is after some more time and I never need to wait that much
you can cleanse the dot, tank the initial hit with flame ward and avoid it with teleport

[unreal umbra]

anyone made a build guide or anything for this? looks interesting

[bold crag]

is it correct to think of ward threshold as effective additional life? aka its not that useful for ward builds, as it only gives a bit more effective ward, vs for example ward retention which scales?

[celest urchin]

Is the cyborg spellblade viable ?

[robust junco]

Yes

He kept it updated

But disclaimer:
The way he build it is very glass cannon

[celest urchin]

That's what a i thought, Raziel has made a similar build but with the mana shield tech but not sure if it can go high in corrup too, don't have the items yet and struggling to make a meme build work at 300corrup isn't my personal fun place

But i'm kinda frustrated, the spellBLADE meta builds is not having blades

It's close enough to what I'm doing, but I'm also mainhanding a 3lp traitors tongue for +4 to shatter strike on top of +4 from the chest and +3 from nihilis/bloody nib

And the guide doesn't suck, it's a great guide for getting value out of the skill but the skill itself kind of sucks because of the lack of mobility. It feels "squishy" mostly because of the way it forces you to approach enemies without a targeted gap closer and sucks your mana down for breathing

[celest urchin]

@waxen sigil Just came accross your vid on spellblade in arena, what's the build you sued ?

[south monolith]

Whens a good time to transition out of frostclaw/spark to static orb?

[past obsidian]

I think it will be just about playable around 1000 mana to sustain yourself in echoes. Not sure how much crit and int you need.

[mystic tundra]

He doesn’t kiss and tell

[past obsidian]

Yep. He likes thought experiments.

got 3lp enigma

[ebon rain]

Got both suffixes on my first slam of this wand. Likely won't see another double T7 like this the rest of the season. Can't decide if I'm going to grip it and rip another 2LP or hold out for 3LP wrong warp (which I also may never see).

[mystic tundra]

Bro at this point you’re just playing a different game lol

[past obsidian]

what's the diff in increased crit chance and increased spell crit chance?

they work the same for orb, right?

[gloomy topaz]

same thing
spell just more limited to well, spell
the trade is that it has higher range to make up
for mage everything is spell so it always work, well outside of the blade-stuff

so the only way is to farm the Mages? wow that's gonna take a minute. Never seen a unique drop from him

[tame hare]

all I can say is they're not as rare as some other things, and some smaller map layouts can be good for resetting and farming them

[mystic tundra]

Look up farm methods. I got about 8 of them in an hour

[long robin]

will do. Thank you both

[bold mason]

what other decent runemater builds are there? I have been doing the maxroll plasma orb build and I am not really enjoying it very much.

[marsh oasis]

It's crazy how hitting one slam, or finding one weapon can get you hundreds of corruption. I'm not sure how i feel about that. :/

[marsh oasis]

Has someone mentioned Hydrahedron to you yet? I'm up to 400cor with it. It's fun once you know how to play it.

[bold mason]

i have seen it on maxroll thought about switching over to it to check it out. Just wasnt sure there was anything else being played beside hydraedron.

[marsh oasis]

I tried them all (that i could find) and Hydra is the only one i found that actually works without GG gear. :/

[bold mason]

interesting thanks i'll definitely give it another look

[tame hare]

after finally playing a mage I'm realizing i like rogue and sentinel because they have a lot of options for going to 300-500 without specific gear at all. there's lots of crazy things you can do on mage and there's some well defined paths to being strong but it doesn't feel as flexible. Every ability seems like there's some weird trick you need to do before it feels decent and before that it's a slog

[marsh oasis]

Exactly. I'll probably never run a mage again for a cycle start for that reason. Unless they get some massive Survivability buffs.

[long robin]

speaking of builds, for pushing c, is glacier that much stronger than claw?

I ask because I lvled w/glacier until about 50 and couldn't kill Majasa, so I changed to claw and I have been able to do all the initial mono. Debating to stay with claw or moce to glacier again as I am intending to push c with this character

[past obsidian]

I think claw has higher damage potential, but glacier has its niche in freezing things around.

[tame hare]

I saw an aberroth one shot with glacier, fwiw

[fading spindle]

Hey I’m making a mage sorcerer, is Nova a viable build still? Maybe with or without ashen crown ? I’ve never made one

[tame hare]

one of the more popular RM builds is nova and it should still work i believe

[fading spindle]

Sorry what is RM, still learning terminology I just started in cycle 2

[tame hare]

RM is runemaster, i'm not 100% sure on the workings of sorc but sorc is generally stronger this cycle so i'd guess there's some kind of pathway to make it work

[fading spindle]

Darn I went sorc already lol

Ashen crown would work still I think?

[long robin]

RM is a spec of sorc

oops nm I am drunk

I meant mage LOL

[fading spindle]

O.o I thought you have a mage, then either rm, sorcerer, or spellblade

[tame hare]

sorc is nuts with the new stuff i don't think you'll regret it

[fading spindle]

Yes I thought I was drunk lol 😆

[past obsidian]

how do i best possibly open the prefix for crafting mana?

[long robin]

Wow...well maybe the glacier build I was following was weak- it was a leveling build. I think I am gonna push claw until I can go no longer and collect stuff for a glacier build. If I hit a wall I will change and see

[fading spindle]

Idk I went sorc already so any nova option… I guess I was just looking for clear speed this go around. Sort of funny coming from a warlock main 😎😂

Or should I scrap and remake

[long robin]

If you wanna try it, why don't you just respec into it? Or is that what you mean with scrap and remake?

[fading spindle]

Well I mean if I need to go runemaster

Idk tbh I never understand because I see mastery cannot be changed but I see builds using skills from 2 or more masteries

Coming from someone who’s done 1k corruption and killed Abby, am clueless

Oh thats specialized skill maybe 🤔

[tame hare]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Eg2JXI4LTc

maybe something like that?

[fading spindle]

wtf is ignite ignite celestial conflucx runemaster mage sorcerer acolyte

😂 well - the runemaster & acolyte

[long robin]

a mage with multiple personalities? 🤷

[fading spindle]

That is that uh… meteor belt he’s using I assume

Whatever it’s called

I was looking at https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/elemental-nova-sorcerer-guide vs https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/glacier-sorcerer-guide

[past obsidian]

I really like the claw builds because it is easier than other builds on my eyes.

[fading spindle]

I am MG with … more gold than 1 should have

So gear shouldn’t be an issue

[long robin]

yeah I am enjoying it a bit too. Asd long as it let's me keep pushing I will stick with it. Following FrozenSentinel's build so let' see

[past obsidian]

how far along are you?

[fading spindle]

I’ve also seen some guy 2 shot aberoth with static or something

[past obsidian]

I just hit 2.1k mana with the endgame build and one shot abby without any problem. Smooth sailing so far

[long robin]

still a baby, just started 100

with FZ's build?

[past obsidian]

noobzor

feels a little squishy though since i am lacking resist, but the damage is unreal

[fading spindle]

What build

And mastery

[long robin]

oh man, just saw the video how he melted shade

[past obsidian]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLFBbVdeIp0&t=11s

there is a guy on youtube pushing 2k beyond using something very similar to this

[fading spindle]

Wrong warp so OP

[rapid saffron]

Does the spark build not work without a unique? The mana strike ability just does zero damage. May have been a mistake to transition to it so early only lv 35. Just really want to get into that build

[fading spindle]

I even ran that on warlock

[past obsidian]

need enigma most likely

[rapid saffron]

Kk

[past obsidian]

also is your spell above 40 mana cost?

[rapid saffron]

I need to check. Does it need to be above or below 40

[fading spindle]

Above

[long robin]

man that part messed with my head so much when I first read about it

[iron knoll]

I have a plenthora of keys and no idea what to do with them lol

[rapid saffron]

it is 0 mana cost. How do i raise it?

[long robin]

are you following a guide?

[rapid saffron]

ish, im piecing together things from lastepochtools video of a build but they dont explain anything in detail

focuses more on endgame stuff but not how to transition into the build

[long robin]

check the link that Nicknik posted and go to that guide. You will have a spreadsheet that has every imaginable calculation you need. Check the Frost Claw mana calculator. That guide also has a leveling guide

[unreal umbra]

link?

[rapid saffron]

thats the video ive been using as a reference/ I dont see a leveling guide link (which is probably what i should be using but im impatient) lol

[waxen sigil]

basically doesn’t exist anymore in a practical way, was from beta

Used mana strike for rapidly responding /killing anything on screen and flamereave for 8 screens of clear

[proven haven]

You can't transition to FC Spark until level 51 ish since you need the nodes in the Sorc tree that grant Spark Charge, in the guide I recommended leveling with glacier until ~ level 51 ish. This is what I did on league start

[celest urchin]

Sad

[celest urchin]

Any plan to make a new SB build coming from nowhere ?

• Was wondering, why to counter the bloody nip gameplay on the SB nobody plays the build with exsanguinous ?

[gentle mango]

just don't play nib

just put it on to try hardforce kill a boss for pushing or something

[celest urchin]

What is left excpet spark and the Raziel one ?

[gentle mango]

the exact same build without nib

[celest urchin]

Does it work well ?

[gentle mango]

yes

a good weavers will relic is probably the best alternative

[tame hare]

I can't find the vid anymore, mysterious...

[celest urchin]

Basically it makes this :

that's pretty epic though, i guess i haven't seen anyone try and do it and thought it wouldnt be possible

like with static orb kinda easily doable with good gear

[celest urchin]

Still playing the mourning frosts one ?

[tame hare]

exsang immunity prevents bleeding so you would need to keep your health topped off with leech or something, just seems like a headache

[gentle mango]

i saw that build, idk about the mana stacking.. but sure

you can play a ton of variation

shatterstrike is OP

[celest urchin]

Not if you play ward

[celest urchin]

What you're doing anyway tbh

[tame hare]

you would need to apply bleed while your health is full but exsang is constantly draining it. if you attack at low health the bleed doesn't stack and you don't get pen

[celest urchin]

Don't you lack tankyness if you don't ?

[celest urchin]

Yh i'm stupid it's the bleed stacks that gives dmg

[tame hare]

it's alright, that's what the discord is for lol

[gentle mango]

sure but i'd probably just go for low life instead of that if you want to get tankier

just try whatever you want, your damage will be enough regardless

[celest urchin]

I feel like there is noway to be tanky enough for high corrup if you don't manatank or play with the war on crit with the dragorath + spark

[next lance]

Hello, do you guys know if fireball cast from disintegrate via flame vent ll have longer range when I pick proper talent at fireball tree? right now I have to stay close to mobs to have it casted on them. Anyone has tested that?

[gentle mango]

play it how you think, that's what the game is about

[tame hare]

that dragorath dagger is way too good, makes theorycrafting other stuff less fun

[gentle mango]

i played low life with shatter spark charge, on hit ward wasn't enough to run through maps for pushing

low life just BiS for all melee spellblade imo, fixes the weakness of no defense if not attacking

[celest urchin]

WHen you say pushing it's how much corrup ? + do you have a builder to show ?

[gentle mango]

got to 1.1k before stopping

[tame hare]

what do people here like to use for a move skill?

[celest urchin]

Would really love to see it madude if you don't mind sharing (or even just the link to you in LET)

soul gambler gave me a PTSD

[tame hare]

i'm trying to poke my way around a build that doesn't need heavy int or mana stacking (i like the idea of mixing dex and int for spellblade) but i'm not sure about it yet

[gentle mango]

soul gambler is aids to farm lmao

luckily got 2lp on my 2nd drop even though slam isn't perfect

[celest urchin]

What would you change in your slams ?

[nimble shoal]

Could always just go hard on dex stacking and use bane of winter to ignore half of the downsides lol

[long robin]

sorry but what does tthat even mean? 😕

[unreal umbra]

it's better now

still bad.

[gentle mango]

missing a lot of crit multi not having it on my chest/relic/neck, but really i can't complain being CoF

[gentle mango]

farming soulfire bastion is comparable to having a deadly disease

[long robin]

LOL sorry quite slow today 🤣

[celest urchin]

Priorities are int -> crit -> spell ?

[gentle mango]

pretty much

[tame hare]

been thinking about bane of winter since that perry video, i bought a 2lp just in case lmao

[celest urchin]

except for the mandatory shred, low life and spark in the right spots

[tame hare]

I'm still kinda mad the AS failed for this slam, the game should support me when i'm trying to do dumb bs

[gentle mango]

no flat melee cold damage?

[tame hare]

I can only ask for so much out of current day MG

[unreal umbra]

soul gambers one of the worst to farm, coz you dont get rank 10 bonus on it. but at least you can egg the lp on and the lpl is only 30

[tame hare]

there's like 5 t7 daggers on the market and i'm not camping for a build i didn't even plan out first lol

[celest urchin]

Is dex on carci wanted ?

[gentle mango]

i need dex for crit because of soul gamblers ye

[celest urchin]

Couldn't you swap soul gambler for a regular amu and then take a third eye ?

[gentle mango]

why would you need third eye if no soul gamblers

[celest urchin]

To get back the ward on crit i guess

[gentle mango]

yeah but without gamblers you're already way over 100% crit from just int

[celest urchin]

exactly

Because not beiing capped on crit just for 15% crit multi seems not that greate to me..

[gentle mango]

you can just not use it but it's almost free defense

you will be crit capped

just a generic crit chance implicit ring replacement would work

[celest urchin]

Why crit chance ? You don't need anymore c.c with all the intel

[gentle mango]

with gamblers

[celest urchin]

ah yup !

[nimble shoal]

I think it's way more approachable than the classic dual wield version, though its ceiling is definitely lower. Overall pretty fun though

[gentle mango]

the build will work fine defensively as low life and without gamblers, gamblers is almost free defense if you can keep 100% crit for pushing though

[celest urchin]

Alright thanks anyway !

[next lance]

If I take more fireball missiles = firespray + seeking target talent from tree - will those 3 missiles hit same target?

[rapid saffron]

still trying to figure out how to make mana strike cost 40 mana

[iron knoll]

I can't figure out why I am unable to select a passive when it seems I've met all the requirements.

Anyone got any ideas

[gentle mango]

you're not a sorcerer

[iron knoll]

SOB your right I thought this was a runecaster build.

[gentle mango]

😂

[tame hare]

hear me out:

[iron knoll]

lol I've been playing the game for like a week lol cut me some slack

[nimble shoal]

You can't make it cost any mana

[long robin]

help me understand something here. Say that I want to farm a specific map in a timeline and I find such map. If I refresh the timeline will the map still be in the same location or is there a way to refresh the node to farm it?

[waxen sigil]

Haven’t really looked at it too much though I do LOVE the new mactuatl + 20% chance to fc from tree on dual wield dragorath + a sword I think it would be a very decently strong* legit cool fun build, *but idk how legit things really measure up, bc I basically log in to do/brew broken undiscovered interactions for ladder

[rapid saffron]

so how to spark builds gain their warding without it costing mana? Also i was asked earlier what my mana strike mana cost was at and they said it had to be 40 mana

[waxen sigil]

farming blessings and items and getting to monos I can’t enjoy anymore personally

[waxen sigil]

Frost claw

[nimble shoal]

I think they mean frost claw at 40 mana to proc spark charges with that one sorc threshold node

This one, in addition to the other things that proc on 40 mana cost skills

[jaunty widget]

In your opinion which is the best build to push high corruption + bossing? (As sorcerer)

[celest urchin]

Don't be shy to try and share 😉

[mystic tundra]

Good luck

[rapid saffron]

hows frost claw dealing with the mana draw?

[waxen sigil]

i just think you would be playing a straight forward build around the frostclaw procs with manastrike and frostclaw as the bnb of damage ward and mana sustain

have no idea havent played any legit chars since beta

[rapid saffron]

so i shifted away from the static stuff for mana strike and using frost claw only now and liking it more. Trying to figure out a mana regen without mana strike

[waxen sigil]

or really even played since them

[celest urchin]

Like the poker ones ?

[rapid saffron]

this is the build i want and he doesnt use mana strike
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLFBbVdeIp0&t=11s

right now ive got a bandaid fix but still figuring it out

[celest urchin]

It's a sorc

[rapid saffron]

yes indeed so am i

is there a sorc mana mechanic im completely stumped about?

[celest urchin]

Isn't the node "Glambring" in the frost claw build be paired with the mourning frost and dragorath to do something big ?

[waxen sigil]

i think u could get some decent spell dmg out of it yea that would be part of it

[rapid saffron]

yeah damage wise im getting there but im concerned about the mana recovery is all

[celest urchin]

I can't get the point of having melee atk speed on Dragorath, it doesn't change a thing on shatter blade animation

[long robin]

wohoo! finally

now, is it better to egg it or use the LP?

[gentle mango]

you can't egg stuff that already has LP

[long robin]

🤦

[waxen sigil]

It makes it attack faster

[mystic tundra]

Good luck!

[waxen sigil]

So you can use more of them per second

[past obsidian]

alright guys, this morning i had even more godly hits

2lp core, 1lp gaze (orb), 2lp engma

also want to learn abberoth mechanics, because it always dropped die before I could play the game

[long robin]

meh

[main apex]

Man iv gotton 2 of them and the stats are so low its sickness

[long robin]

took me forever to get this one

[nimble shoal]

The modern tech mostly revolves around using teleport for mana tunnel (100% mana refund on next cast) combined with a high cost spell that gets you a separate mana refund. At lower max mana, you can use meteor specced for maximum mana cost with its mana cost refund node. With over 1k max mana you can start to make use of static orb specced for max mana cost relying on the archmage passive for mana refund.

[unreal umbra]

3rd try

[past obsidian]

grats. i need some t7 mana's

[unreal umbra]

yeah that was the struggle, that was actually my old amulet slammed in there

still have 4 2lp confluences left over

need a peak now. last one bricked

[bold mason]

Is novaclaw still pretty viable? Been running plasmas orb runemaster and I am just not liking the feel of it or how it plays.

[unreal umbra]

my other amulet, may just use conf for bosses only coz no frailty otherwise

[past obsidian]

I have a couple wrongwarp 2lp now - makes me wondering if I should try slamming on a t6 instead of t7 crit multi

[unreal umbra]

nah save it

[gloomy topaz]

my perfect wrongwarp has -4 mana cost which makes it not possible to take gift winter
annoy me so much

[past obsidian]

it could be me but that node seemed trivial for my mana management in maps

[unreal umbra]

yeah frozen plays with a -4 and it seems fine

i dunno, i havent played that spec before. i'll give it a shot if i can get a prismatic

my wrongwarp is -5 also, so rip on that

[past obsidian]

enima's are dirt cheap. I bricked liked 10 2lp's this morning before getting the one.

WIth this and -4 wrongwarp, my claw is at 41.2

[tame hare]

nice one

i accidentally made a competent flame reave build

s

[tame hare]

469c

[mystic tundra]

That looks pretty fun. How’s bossing?

[tame hare]

it's latched onto my shatterstrike build so bossing is great lol

[mystic tundra]

nice. How’s the build gear wise? Need a lot of uniques?

[tame hare]

as for flame reave itself, it's just mediocre on bossing, probably better than average but feels pointless to use over shatter. gear wise it's a mess but i haven't really sat down and figured out what it needs and what i overdid

potentially it's extremely cheap because mainhand is a renegades will lol

i will probably swap the knowledge back to a shattered nib, i just needed 1 more point for flame reave and didn't feel like respecc'ing

i think the circle version has high corruption potential if i go soul gamblers route and overcap crit, and i need to get blood of the exile slammed so i can take off razorfall

[mystic tundra]

Looking forward to the refinement. Looks pretty dope

[tame hare]

traded shatter for frost claw to try and see if the ward was worth it, and slammed a 3lp sunwreath

[unreal umbra]

focus

[unkempt stirrup]

which one is better guys

[cloud inlet]

Can static orb mage nuke abberroth and if so how much mana do you need to do it?

[cloud inlet]

whichever gives you more max mana

[unkempt stirrup]

okii thanks, but i lose increase elemental damage so its fine right

[cloud inlet]

that stat aint as important its quite "available"

assumign you run static orb / mana scaling

[unkempt stirrup]

correct, i use static orb for bosses , and for mapping glacier meteor

[unkempt stirrup]

awesome thank you

[unreal umbra]

i can one shot with 2.5k

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c909FrrqIt0

Also just got this

[past obsidian]

[marsh oasis]

Supa Slam

[past obsidian]

you can't miss a 4lp slam

[marsh oasis]

exactly

[jaunty widget]

Which build would you say handles high corruption/bossing easier? Glacier or lightning frost claw?

[unreal umbra]

both pure glacier and frostclaw aren't good for bossing

but you can use static orb with both of those and one shot everything

[past obsidian]

is glacier safer for high corruptions since you can freeze things around and get DR from coc meteor?

[unreal umbra]

i dunno, i'll have to compare

i think frostclaw is faster though coz you dont have to wait for meteors

[past obsidian]

right damage wise that wins

[unreal umbra]

the fact that stuff dies faster makes it kinda safer also. i dunno though. i have a feeling frostclaw is better than coc meteor but i haven't played both so i can't say for sure

[cloud inlet]

okay im at 1900 so far off :(

[past obsidian]

I will go blind if I push to 1.5k corruption with coc meteor

[unreal umbra]

you can still do it in two shots anyway, coz you can focus up after you run out of mana and he just chills there

[cloud inlet]

well i struggled with yulra not having enough mana so im not sure about that

[unreal umbra]

if you cant 1 shot julra yet then you are a bit of then. keep working on it

[cloud inlet]

yeah well i found my first +4 static orb just now sadly im like 100% sure it will brick trying to get mana on it
https://i.imgur.com/S8zXOfc.png

[past obsidian]

if your not sure, just dont and creation it

[unreal umbra]

what tier is 5 vit

[cloud inlet]

i have found a single creation yet with 100h+ playtime used it on a neat chest

[past obsidian]

are you CoF?

[cloud inlet]

yes

[unreal umbra]

ez game

[past obsidian]

You can go grab creation prophecies. I went from 0 to like 50 in half an hour

[unreal umbra]

i still havent found a +4 static orb helm.

[cloud inlet]

was my first ye

[cloud inlet]

yeah but creation sadly wont help me getting mana on it :/

wish that vita roll was lower for despair

[unreal umbra]

is it tier 3?

[cloud inlet]

4

[unreal umbra]

rip.

[cloud inlet]

so far every removal rune i used hit the t7 first attempt (:

[unreal umbra]

15% chance to despair. 25% chance to removal

[past obsidian]

how much lp does it have? even if you can remove it, do you have enough lp to craft high tier mana?

fp

[cloud inlet]

https://i.imgur.com/VR56QA5.jpeg

F

[unreal umbra]

wow.

at this point you probably call it a rip.

[past obsidian]

maybe chaos the suffixes and try getting the armor and crit damage? anyways make sure you leave out fp for creation

[cloud inlet]

double rip ):D

[past obsidian]

that's exactl how one of my +4 helms turned out

[unreal umbra]

i would have saved that for a prismatic, ah well doesnt matter

you'll get another

[cloud inlet]

prismatic?

[unreal umbra]

yeah, for frostclaw build

[cloud inlet]

ah

[unreal umbra]

just used as a 1/4 chance to get the orb on there with nothing else

[past obsidian]

i really wish they put a signature on this thing. "Sealed by xxx"

[gloomy topaz]

man I still have no 4 static orb roll lol
still using rare arcane visage not even exalted
helm is so annoying to roll

[past obsidian]

those and t7 int rings are definitely the things I didn't know that are "that" rare

[pseudo verge]

Its weird seeing you click 2 buttons at the same time 🤣

[silk summit]

meanwhile the game allows me a single click maybe half the time

[tame hare]

i'm a controller player, i won't lie i use the turbo feature so i can just feather the buttons instead of destroying my hand

but it's like shatterstrike where a high enough AS lets you just hold down flame reave and occasionally tap mana strike to weave it in

[pseudo verge]

Oooh controller huh, didnt even notice

[tame hare]

yeah it's actually why i didn't leave for poe immediately, the controller support there sucks compared to LE because you can't switch between mouse and controller

[drowsy aurora]

What is more fun to play a spellblade or a runemaster?

[torn parrot]

is the plasma orb rm still good and can 2 k corruption or is it asss

[sand flint]

Class: Int stacking frostclaw/Spark auto attacking sorc

Any suggestions on items?
Like for the helm - should I value damage taken from mana before health over anything else?
Also for the weapon should I grab an LP1 with attack speed?

[mystic tundra]

700k favor burned and no T7 INT rings, now this morning 3 drop together after dumping another 50k favor

[past obsidian]

in the planner, how do i add sealed affixes to a weap?

[mystic tundra]

bricked all 3 slams fml

[nimble shoal]

You select the sealed slot, just like you would select prefix 1/2 or suffix 1/2

[past obsidian]

I am not sure where to click on the sealed slot

[nimble shoal]

Far right of the item selection menu

[past obsidian]

i got it thanks

[past obsidian]

also in the calculations, min, average, and max - which one do i trust?

oh i shoot for slamming max. I see now what they mean min max average

[nimble shoal]

They just set all the item roll ranges to either the low-end, midpoint, or perfect rolls. I usually leave it on max because often time you might have some key affixes you'll only ever use if they are high enough rolls

and those are usually the stat I care about looking at anyway (or they are +levels)

[past obsidian]

fresh out of the bakery

[drowsy aurora]

Im no pro so this is why i ask this

Why is there no sorc builds around volcanic orb. I was just playing around with stuff and it totally annihilates it has like 8,000 damage per second I do kind of understand that damage per second shown isn't everything

[pseudo verge]

Volc orb is good and has potential, even more so with flame rush. Theres a spear you can use as well which has perfect synergy with flame rush

Its a old spell and people like new things usually but its a good spell for sure!

[past obsidian]

how would yo go about removing the cold pen?

[pseudo verge]

Red glyph or rng with a removal rune

[past obsidian]

I think I will just go right in with a removal

[unreal umbra]

did it brick?

[past obsidian]

yes

[unreal umbra]

damn

[past obsidian]

on a similar piece earlier I discovered twice and removed twice and finally removed the affixes i wanted gone, and somehow hit a crit and managed to get t5 using like 16 fp

[steel ridge]

Feel like you need more attack speed because it’s a proc based build

[past obsidian]

per my calculation, i need t7 spell crit chance slam on my wand

[mystic tundra]

any lightning blast builds? lol

[sand flint]

TY - I will work on getting at least attack speed on my weapon and 40+% proc chance

[mystic tundra]

@past obsidian 4th testament bricked by nemesis from 0LP to crap affix. so unlucky

[past obsidian]

I looted like 10 wrongwarps today all 1lp

[unreal umbra]

i think i'll go wrongwarp hunting again next too

[past obsidian]

is this 90% my crit chance for orb?

[mystic tundra]

at this rate I dont think ill ever be able to convert to static orb. cant get enough good slammed gear to hit 1500 mana

[unreal umbra]

that looks like 90% overall

mine is 89% crit chance and 111% or something in the julra window

[past obsidian]

to cap crit all time, should i shoot for 100% on that number?

[unreal umbra]

yeah

[past obsidian]

okay, so i will need a t7 spell crit chance slam on my wand and t7 int's on a couple other pieces. This will keep me motivated

[unreal umbra]

probably not required? with mine i want to get rid of crit chance rather than gain more

[past obsidian]

so only need to cap crit during julra window?

[unreal umbra]

depends really, because the only time where it really matters is during that window for one shotting stuff

being crit capped all the time will be more deeps for non bosses so if thats your goal, then yeah

i guess optimal would be to have a mapping and bossing setup

[past obsidian]

@_@

[unreal umbra]

but we can already one shot abby so kinda just whatever at this point

[past obsidian]

i kinda want to make this a dedicated boss killer. Feels really squishy with a ward based build. Not sure if hp based builds will be tankier

[unreal umbra]

are you gonna play another toon?

if you can one shot abby you can pretty much one shot anything at 1k, and there's not much point in going higher than that unless you just wanna push corruption for fun.

[past obsidian]

i am at 900. And yeah I think I want to play something else

[nimble shoal]

Funny, nowadays you kinda can have a dedicated boss killing character, at least for Aberroth and jankily for timeline bosses by burning envy glyphs

[unreal umbra]

yeah farming timeline bosses for other characters will be a breeze now

50 abberoths to do

[past obsidian]

how much int does julra burst window add? assuming t7 int and my base crit is 11%

[unreal umbra]

i think its 64 if you have 2 16s

i think mine adds 22% crit chance in the julra window

(89% to 111% on char sheet)

[waxen sigil]

How can you not figure that out

“The stats are tripled” 16 tripled is 48

[unreal umbra]

is my calc right or wrong then?

[waxen sigil]

Right

[unreal umbra]

oh

[waxen sigil]

You have neverlate which is not displaying man

[past obsidian]

what about just 1 julra t7 int slam

[unreal umbra]

neverlate was fixed

[waxen sigil]

Don’t answer that

Ok good thank god

[past obsidian]

please help. i forgot the calc

[waxen sigil]

With what

[unreal umbra]

1 16int julra would give you 32 exta int in the window and not sure how much crit chance coz that depends on your char, but for me 11% crit chance in that window

but you want 2 julras anywa because you want the int and spell damage to be tripled, not just for the benefits of the crit chance that comes with the int

[past obsidian]

what about phantom? but yeah for a pure boss killing setup, two julra

[mystic tundra]

isn't it bad to trun 2 julra

can mess with the timing of the multiplier

[unreal umbra]

first i've heard of that? not sure

[mystic tundra]

"You probably don't want to run two of these because of the inconsistent uptime overlapping causing a huge power deficit when it is on cooldown." from Frozen Sentinal

[unreal umbra]

yeah but the whole reason why that's a thing is what makes it so good for boss killing since you're just abusing the window

especially for frozen's build where he's not using a crystal skull, he would benefit much more from phatom grips which gives you consistent crit chance

[past obsidian]

i am just trying to figure out how much crit i need for capping inside julra window. And which tier of spell crit chance slam i need on my enigma

[unreal umbra]

do you change to crystal skull for boss?

i think that's the only item swap that's kinda mandatory if you are running the noobzor build

[past obsidian]

i run a gaze, so it is possible to cap crit without swapping

[unreal umbra]

do you use 2 phantom grips and swap to 2 julras for boss?

would need to see the planner, too many variables

[unreal umbra]

also a 2% phantom grip isn't actually 2%, it's some value in between 1.5 and 2

is your goal just to never swap, kill everything and be optimized? 😛

[mystic tundra]

@unreal umbra can static orb build work with 1300 mana?

[unreal umbra]

it works with any amount technically, it just gigascales with mana

what are you trying to do?

[mystic tundra]

switch from FC spark to static orb so bossing is quicker at 600

[unreal umbra]

i think that can work but it's a bit low, because by taking static orb, you are getting rid of meteor

[past obsidian]

1300 mana is plenty for mapping, as long as you manage it well.

[unreal umbra]

if you can sustain your mana with static orb refunds instead of meteor refunds, then it's ok

[mystic tundra]

maybe ill wait a bit. if I can find a T7 mana gloves and get Mana + ward on a wrongwarp, I should be at 1500

[south monolith]

What bosses are easy to kill for corruptionj prog?

[unreal umbra]

i think Abomination is the squishiest if you are just trying to one shot

[unreal umbra]

yeah 1500 seems good, although crit multi on wrongwarp would be ideal as it would help your mapping clear as well as boss dmg

[unreal umbra]

that's awesome

[mystic tundra]

T7 crit multi or T5 is fine?

[south monolith]

whats so special about The Confluence of Fate, just the reduced dmg over time?

[unreal umbra]

the 13-18 + spell damage is flat spell damage, very hard to get

[unreal umbra]

not ideal and i would wait for a better one, unless you are desperate

[mystic tundra]

I have these as well
