Keep getting good drops for him

Never Played d4 or POE2 New season ? 😂

#

If you cant Login 1 or 2 days 😂 thats next Level..

For me (EU) 0 Problems best Launch

#

after looking at patch notes i said i was gonna go mage or primalist to start season . looks like i made the right call

#

though, i might go sorc

half pollen
#

Im enjoying mage a lot aswell. Although the ward nerf hurts quite a lot

plush anchor
#

i was reading that, but still it looks like people are fine for the most part in end game

#

i havent spoiled myself though ( outside of reading patch notes and a few lil clips here in discord)

#

but i wanna do something with black hole or disintegrate so.. heres to hoping

harsh abyss
#

Definitely the best game to go in blind for

signal aurora
#

what options do I have with Sorcerer for cold DoT?

plush anchor
#

they take out the shield intervals on bosses? or is it not present on first few ones

#

was a big thing last season

#

since it allowed us to see the dmg rduction points on bossess

oh hey and the perfect offhand to go with the above sword... you have to be kidding me

#

Thinking about builds that struggle to get spell damage, the new 1x2 idols that give flat and % increased spell damage could enable some interesting stuff.

#

You can get up to 32 spell damage with those using your idols, not to mention that some class idols can get enchants that give it as well

Never had that myself

But the worst launch was LE at global launch

That was traumatic

#

Anyone interested in duo leveling? I’m starting a fresh character and thought it’d be fun to team up, hang out in Discord, and clear the campaign together! Im almost lvl 8 down to start again and sync up quest...

#

can anyone help with RuneMaster build

#

Does Melee Lightning Damage work on Lightning Blast?

It only has 12 points in each skill

uncut comet
#

At the top it says full planner version? Or is that cause im on mobile?

#

Yeah no i see it now im not sure man maybe they didn't finish it?

#

Have you looked under the build guide section or just use maxroll instead?

fresh relic
#

well I am at Laboon so gonna be tough to change build now

silk pewterBOT

#

Sorry that sucks you could just try and throw something together and scale your gear appropriately and see if that works. Where did you find that build?

lusty chasm
#

hi there, first time trying runemaster and it's so fun. I just beat Lagon by stacking ignite / fireball and using flame ward. Never tried that class before it's so cool to experiment with the combinations

fresh relic
#

Dam I am mega stuck I cant beat a boss with my current build

#

Idk I guess I used a terrible build lol

elfin sigil
#

Hi, I found a weird interaction and am not sure if it is intended or a bug. I use Static and skilled Overcharge to have it use its charges to cast Lightning Blast once per second. However, the Lightning Blast seems to be just lvl 1, never Chains and ignores my Tree for Lightning Blast. I would expect it to be the same as when I cast it.
Am I understanding this wrong and this is intended or is this a bug that should be reported?

molten cobalt
#

do i empower?

half pollen
#

The unique is bad, but no reason not to empower

molten cobalt
#

guess we go again

half pollen

Good old necrotic nova

feral jetty
#

Hey guys, is there an ability I can use to provide some kind of "passive" benefit for my build? I have one spec slot left and my build is placing down Black Hole and channeling Disintegrate while BH is dealing damage. I already have flame ward and teleport specced

half pollen
#

Do you deal fire damage mostly? Then Meteor is your goto it provides 75% fire penetration

feral jetty
half pollen
#

Yes

#

You should also spec into meteors "mana back" node when you only use it as a buff

feral jetty
#

Okay very nice thanks

low otter
#

How is ignite frostclaw holding up in higher corruptions?

molten cobalt
#

what does this mean? FLF? after mana burst?

earnest marten
#

Fire lightning fire, i guess

#

So whats the new shiny thing for mage this patch?

meager sonnet
#

It casts WHAT on evade? That sounds so good :D As long as you can sustain the mana cost

hey guys, please help me, is it worth somethin?

buoyant creek
#

anyone know if Copied Scrolls work on the Grand Prism Nova from the Gordian Prism?

#

Oh it does kinda work. The repeat invocation is what the runes would have done.

#

how is runemaster as a starting class?

buoyant creek
mystic wave
#

any build guides for lightningblast / focus?

wheat sage
half pollen
#

I love my runemaster. Everything explodes and numbers everywhere

#

And its chill in 300 corruption currently. Damage would allow more but defense is currently lacking

fervent ledge
#

Dunno if true but iceyveins says static orb RM is the best lvling. With lightning rush that shoots an orb and then get brand with its upgrade asap.

half pollen
#

Brand is probably stronger, but less fun imo

#

I just need the big yellow numbers

fervent ledge
#

I will go brand as soon as I get some gear. And the gon ward affix

#

Is wall of nothing hard to get? I have not played on a while

olive dome
#

YO GUYS im using conflagrate to consume my ignites, but it doesnt work? is it bugged?

plucky thorn
#

Is there a good channeling build this season? Or just the usual disintegration beam build? I love that style of play but I haven’t really played since before the first season came out

viral fox
#

is anyone trying a build with black hole? im trying cooking something dot

molten cobalt
#

That’s not healthy

half pollen
#

Im doing legacy

molten cobalt
#

Oh

half pollen
#

No worries

molten cobalt
#

I was shocked there for a bit

half pollen
#

I have kids and a wife. No time to start fresh sadly

molten cobalt
#

Is everything available on both legacy and league?

#

Or do we have league specific stuff

half pollen
#

Everything is also on legacy

#

That might change in the future though

molten cobalt
#

Didn’t even consider that

fervent ledge
#

Any strong mage builds still for those doing testing on legacy?

#

Or over nerfed

molten cobalt
#

I could have revived my ancient sorc from global launch

#

And respecced

fervent ledge
#

Like poe 2 Sorc was over nerfed

#

I haven't had time to play LE much yet and I'm hoping it's not the same. But that is what people are saying.

slender sedge
#

played poe2 chrono few days back

#

its very hard to imagine mage here will be as bad

sour perch
#

hey, sorry to be a bother but is there a league starter for lightning blast or is there atleast a viable build for it still? 🥲

molten cobalt
fresh relic
#

Dam I just checked the tier list and mage is literally the weakest 😛 ? everything is C tier or D tier

#

that sucks

#

there is no strong build at all?

Ignite frostclaw is not on maxroll yet i believe

molten cobalt

Allo guys, first time playing the game, been enjoying lightening as an archtype, picked runemaster as my elite spec and saw it like makes use of diff elements. Do you still like max out/build towards one element? and just keep the lightening spells with your invoke thingy

slender sedge
#

unfortunately due to the way maths work its almost always to choose an element

#

and all in on it

molten cobalt
#

Just for invocation

sour perch
#

is lightning blast still viable?

molten cobalt
#

Not alone

#

More as a vehicle

#

Half dps half vehicle

sour perch
#

ah rip

molten cobalt
#

But it’s still your main skill

slender sedge
#

im gonna try to make runic energy invocations work

molten cobalt
#

You just rely on brand too

slender sedge
#

with battery

molten cobalt
#

For example

#

I’m lvling with lightning blast right now and it’s great

#

But you need the help from invocation that in turn applies brand which does DOT

crystal hollow
#

About to load up LE in a bit here. Is spellblade finally good/decent?

fervent ledge
#

Brand of deception

#

I hope

#

Seems like that is mages only hope at something remotely like other classes strong builds

half pollen
#

I think mage is actually in a better spot than sentinel. Its where a class should be. Sentinel feels overtuned just like falconer last season

fervent ledge
#

But doesnt every class other than mage now have some insane OP stier build now

#

Altho I'm sure some mages are still cooking. Maybe something will pop up

molten cobalt
#

builds will pop up, just a question of how OP they are

#

STR stacking mage is a completely new concept for example, enabled by a new item

#

that has not been tested at all but apparently shows potential

slender sedge
#

im gonna blow your minds here guys

#

have you considered

#

get ready

#

trying shit out on your own?

molten cobalt
#

no way man

#

thats outrageous

#

or

#

even better yet guys

#

play what you enjoy

#

🤯

slender sedge
#

damn

#

stunning concepts

fervent ledge
#

Too busy to try my own

slender sedge
#

the world is saved

fervent ledge
#

I'm gonna try brand tho

#

Hope it's good as maybe what acolyte is doing. Don't need rogue or sentinel power

#

Or Primalist which also has busted stuff now

#

Altho I never found primakist fun, too clunky

#

So how bad are the ward nerfs

slender sedge
#

im only in campaign

#

but mirror bolt still makes me effectively immortal

fervent ledge
#

Wow nice

slender sedge
#

and if I get to doublecast it

#

it gets stupid fast

#

and 50 mana = I get 5 runic power back

molten cobalt
slender sedge
#

maybe ill try some ignite shenanigans

molten cobalt
#

i never drop below 90% ward myself

slender sedge
#

fireball for REAL MAGES

fervent ledge
#

I know ward retention was nerfed right , from int

molten cobalt
#

ward has been nerfed yes, but still very strong in campaign at least

#

no idea about later, im still in campaign

fervent ledge
#

Oh ok.

molten cobalt
#

719 life and 1k ward at lvl49

#

im practically indestructible

slender sedge
#

thing is that you can print shitton of ward as runemaster just by casting spells

fervent ledge
#

What build

molten cobalt
#

just something to get me through campaign

molten cobalt
#

this helps too

slender sedge
#

ngl if you dont wanna mess around and wanna speedrun you need like 5 combos

#

S - F -S -haste

#

S - I - trash clear

#

I - I - F - shield up via dps

#

I -F - I -"oh shit im dying"

#

I -F - F what the fk are bosses

#

Shock Fire Ice for those who cba to think

molten cobalt
#

people call it shock?

#

not lightning?

#

it is a lightning spell, not a shock spell

slender sedge
#

idk why I thought of shock first dont hate me

molten cobalt
#

😄

slender sedge
molten cobalt
#

thats nice

#

wish these had rolled something more excitingf

this one is kinda 50/50 but I havent found anything better

viral fox
silk pewterBOT
molten cobalt
#

im just doing crap like this

slender sedge
#

im using this to never worry about the mana management

#

with wand/staff all my "rune generators" cost 0

molten cobalt
#

yeah same

#

but 5/6

slender sedge
#

yeah I misclicked and cba to go to respec

#

XD

#

my invocation looks like this

molten cobalt
#

does runic energy offer a passive dmg boost or only when actually using RI actively?

#

i never actually press invocation

#

flame rush activates it for me

slender sedge
#

it doesnt say

#

invocations you cast

#

so I assume it would work with flame rush too

tight bloom
#

is this worth to build around for ice vortex, black hole, frost wall build?

mint fulcrum
#

can anyone help me out and explain why the runemaster guide has 15 mana cost on lightning blast? i just cant seem to figure out where the last 3 mana cost comes from

tight bloom
#

I'm level 44 and noticed that frost wall with 8 frostbite per second is doing a lot of damage

terse igloo
#

Hello guys'n'gals. I know it's probably too early to tell but I really need to know whether new season has what it takes to get me hooked. And that something is spellcasting.

So, without further ado, I'm gonna ask about viability of some builds that I wanted to play but never had a chance. By viability I mean being able to clear 100% of game content, quite easily, without abusive amounts of farming for extremely rare items.

Builds I'm interested in:

  • Big spells, big mana sorcerer. Preferably Glacier, if not that than some variety of Meteor.
  • Runemaster that IS NOT based on Lightning Blast nor Frost Claw. I played those on release, don't want that playstyle again.
  • Spellblade that is actually using his dedicated skills, which means Flame Reave, Enchant Weapon, Firebrand, Mana Strike, etc.
  • Any Ice Barrage build.

Thanks in advance for your answers 🙂

P.S. I didn't play Harbingers of Ruin. Last time I played was some high release version patch.

theres absolutely nothing stopping you from looking up new builds on your own yourself

what cheap fast paced mage build would you recommend?

actually that was from previous seasons so I can't guarantee their viability in this one, but I'm confident they are.

its a strong skill, but you end up wanting to bash your head into a brick wall

mana issues?

or clunky?

otherwise yes

I'm glacier atm it's pretty good but respecting when I get home. Lvl 30

Gonna go static orb flame rush since I'm RM

molten cobalt
#

static orb is so mana hungry

#

but good aoe damage

fervent ledge
#

Does the orb cast from rush use mana

molten cobalt
#

ofc

#

should also say so

sharp quest
#

Allo guys, I had a question, basically my lightning blast had 0 mana cost, but now its at 3, i haven't added in any nodes that increase the mana cost, does overload increase it?

fervent ledge
#

Darn

molten cobalt
#

like so

#

it will state the cost for indirect casts

fervent ledge
#

Thx I'll check

slender sedge

#

OHHHHHH YUS that could be it

slender sedge

but sceptres mostly dont

sharp quest
#

Thank you very much >.< new to the game, i just realised

slender sedge
#

all g

sharp quest
#

Also, now I have lightning blast and static on my specs, for the third spell should i start just going into defensive? or other spells

#

dont see why i would need 3 offensive spells specc'd out

slender sedge
#

what level are you?

#

as for your question, you cant go wrong with a shield spell

#

and I personally love using Teleport

#

for mobility

sharp quest
#

I'm currently 21 ^.^

#

Yeah i put in the flame ward spell in my new spec, working towards changing it to lightning

molten cobalt

im having a good time with lightning blast

and flame rush

short command to view stuff on the floor?

thats shards from killing one of those empowered dudes

wont let me see to click

Try just using ctrl+f to turn off your loot filter entirely to check

molten cobalt

found it

#

i dont even have a loot filter yet

#

are we able to do somewhat ~easy~ 1k+ corruption in 1.2?

slim edge
#

It can give you extra damage, a boatload of ward, i think there's a node for haste?, and can apply dots if your into that. Flame ward does everything

fervent ledge
#

Or need insane gear

#

Hello everyone looking for lightning based builds any suggestions?

slim edge
slim edge
#

Mages were king for the entirety of last season lol it's okay for the class to take a backseat. I imagine somthing like frozensents auto bomber will be just fine in high corruption

molten cobalt
#

lightning blast is good

narrow juniper
#

Im currently lvl56 and using l blast 😄

slim edge
#

Or the Meteor build from what's her name, im blanking on the creator

molten cobalt
narrow juniper
#

Maybe i should swap to runemaster

molten cobalt
#

pretty chill zooming around

#

does not need very good gear either

narrow juniper
#

I wanted to go around Static orbit but didnt like it

slim edge
#

Once I get my mage created it's spellblade all the way for me. I love how shatterstrike looks and sounds so much

fervent ledge
#

Last time I used lblast it did like low dps

narrow juniper
#

Arcane ascend is looking good tho also meteor 😄

fervent ledge
#

Maybe I set it up wrong

#

I swapped to glacier

molten cobalt
fervent ledge
#

I'll try it once I am a little bigger lvl

molten cobalt
#

you can swap to that at maybe 25-30?

#

just go glacier until then, or whatever

narrow juniper
#

Is spellblade doable for newbies ? Maybe i can go around lightning based there 😄

harsh abyss
#

Lightning trigger spellblade is a lot of fun

narrow juniper
#

Any guide or something that ican follow ? 😄

#

i switched to spellblade kek 😄

is the energy overflow node on focus affected by cast speed at all?

is anyone playing ignite frostclaw that got pretty deep?

clever hawk
#

does closed circuit work with convergence on lightning blast

molten cobalt
#

would guess not

#

because it says it does not chain

#

closed circuit says it CAN chain to you, not that it WILL

half valley
#

can mage somehow get access to throwing damaging skills/ procs with uniques ?

procs wont do it

narrow juniper
midnight dune
#

If i autocast lightning blast, can i proc this? it doesnt say i cant but im not sure. im using Dragorath's claw if it matters

buoyant creek
#

Usually they would say "cast x directly" if you need to actually cast it

#

need confirmation tho

midnight dune
#

i want to assume it does, since other skills in the lightning blast tree do say they dont work if you autocast it

Just entered empowered monoliths and dying like crazy, any tips?

Playing a brand runemaster, wasn't dying before empowered

#

The normal monoliths were a breeze

molten cobalt
#

how feasible is it to buy 2 red rings from MG? how long would it take to afford that

#

because with CoF red ring isnt that big of an issue

willow berry
#

Fastest way to get mana guide?

molten cobalt
#

buy one from MG

severe hatch
#

not mageblood magnitudes of hard but

molten cobalt
#

you can go full out ring prophecies

#

and drop 5+ legendary rings per event/map/activity

#

then later on you double that

#

for 10+ rings

fervent ledge
#

I went MG but COf looks good too

molten cobalt
#

i did CoF at launch, never tried MG

#

but to finish my build i know red rings will be the last items i finish

#

so trying to plan ahead

fervent ledge
#

What mage builds use red rings

molten cobalt
#

the STR stacker

#

its a new build enabled in this season

#

untested so it might be shit

#

but it looks interesting

fervent ledge
#

I'm going for regular int version of brand. Doesn't seem too hard to gear

#

Later on I want wall of nothing but I'm not sure how hard that is to get

molten cobalt
#

yeah thats the step before it's final form when you swap to STR

fervent ledge
#

Haven't played since before that item

slender sedge
#

WELLP

#

time to run fast

fervent ledge
#

Does that shock go towards brand node

molten cobalt
slender sedge
severe hatch
#

anyway to roll the implicit?

severe hatch
fervent ledge
#

Doh

severe hatch
#

nothing on "hit, lightning spells" and stuff works

plain garnet
#

Ok, so, turns out essence weaver is a whole lot more busted than I thought. The spells it procs don't cost mana, though that's almost certainly a bug

molten cobalt
#

i cant get my game to load my filters

#

i put them in the correct folder

fervent ledge

#

Anything that attacks fast can be super OP with it, but yeah it feels very strong on spellblade

this is bullshit

slender sedge
#

this is so addicting holy shit

#

ZOOOOM

harsh abyss
#

Yeah, the zoom

plain garnet
#

This means I basically don't have to care about mana at all if I'm using firebrand or mana strike

harsh abyss
#

Also means you can pump FC mana cost waaaay up and not care

plain garnet
#

Correct

harsh abyss
#

25 hits per cast here you go

fervent ledge
#

Hmm ghazzy said acolyte and rogue can still do over 2k corruption, probably sentinel and primalist too now. But I wonder about mage

#

Didn't mention mage

plain garnet
#

Well, I can't do the direct cast stuff with it so I don't know about 25 hits

harsh abyss
steel ridge
#

is trinity of the elements bugged? Runic invo - is only doing 1 beam for me (its all 3 but combined into 1 beam)

harsh abyss
#

With trinity, it treats it as unspecc'd so itll only do one nova

steel ridge
#

its supposed to do 3 beams in 3 directions, instead its all 1 beam (3 beams combined)

#

for me at least

weary hamlet
#

nobody uses it so you might as well be the first to discover a bug

harsh abyss
#

Oh sorry, I was thinking crest of unity

slender sedge
#

man if only certain "Road of Person that got cast out 2" got these

harsh abyss
#

Yeah sounds like a bug

molten cobalt
#

you guys doing CoF or MG? i cannot decide

slender sedge
#

fire lightning cold is insane tho

#

pull everything and nuke

#

CoF all day every day

molten cobalt
#

never tried MG

#

but i have done CoF

#

CoF because someone will find some sort of gold exploit every time and ruin the economy

harsh abyss
#

CoF for life

molten cobalt
#

selecting prophecies take so long it annoys me

harsh abyss
#

I' a simple man I like to do my own things, not buy stuff 🤷‍♀️

molten cobalt
#

all the scrying and shit

harsh abyss
#

I dont mind it, its a nice break from doing stuff to go spend all my favor. Mixes up the gameplay a bit.

molten cobalt
#

just wish selecting prophecies was more efficient

harsh abyss
#

At least you can turn off the confirmation message.

molten cobalt
#

i dont want to sit there looking at the stars, i want to play the fing game

slender sedge
harsh abyss
#

It would be kinda cool if you could level it up to do mega prophecies that take way more favor and give way more rewards, to cut down the rolling.

molten cobalt
#

you can

#

there's the x2 cost but x2 output

#

or something along those lines

#

just wish CoF had an easier time farming t7 mods

#

thats where MG has it easy

harsh abyss
#

I feel like late game we need like 5x for 5x

It does get a better chance to drop exalted and t7s, but obviously it will never compete with just buying stuff.

I really wish the Copied Scrolls would work with Gordian Prism

#

The "copied" spell does the Invocation your runes would have had if you didn't had the unique.

slender sedge
buoyant creek
slender sedge
#

OH

buoyant creek
#

What it does with copied scrolls is it does it's normal invocation, and THEN does the Grand Prism Nova

#

which can be interesting in some cases, but I want my double nova.

slender sedge
#

Id never use that catalyst tbh

#

I chose runemaster to use all kidns of spells

#

not to go "nah"

anyone seen the brandmark runemaster for 1.2?

molten cobalt
#

which one

#

there's several versions

#

ive seen the one from frozenwhisper which seems like just a focus casting tank and the hit n run from bigdaddy

are there more versions?

molten cobalt
#

i have seen the one from FrozenSentinel

#

unsure if you mean him

scenic dock
#

yes i do

molten cobalt
#

thats the one im going for

#

but im only lvl58

scenic dock
#

so you just run around and cast focus to tank stuff and mobs die around you passively?

molten cobalt
#

not gotten far enough to try focus yet

#

need mana guide for that

#

but yes thats the idea

#

shit die from the DOT from brand

#

which is triggered from the invocation

scenic dock
#

doesnt seem like we have many more options to do highend content

molten cobalt
#

new builds will emerge

#

with new gear from 1.2

glass dragon
#

Do you think it is worth to invest into this?

molten cobalt
#

not at lvl60

glass dragon
#

hmm so no evade zoom runner 😦

ivory badge
#

If I take Singularity in Black Hole will Scattered be voided?

molten cobalt
#

if you want that you go werebear lightning strike or whatever its called

glass dragon
#

Nah just thought that I could maybe make a new item work but seems not the case

nocturne hamlet
#

One spellblade have good result actually ?

fading snow
#

woo, one (the easiest) BIS item down 🙂

#

funny that this league I get max int roll oceareon before I get storm crown

#

how the turn tables

junior coral
#

no skill kills as fast as glacier no matter what guide i follow

#

its all a waste of time if not glacier

molten cobalt
#

you doing it wrong then

#

static orb kills faster and better

#

but also a mana hungry fker

#

many skills can rival glacier if you support them enough

junior coral
#

what way do i spec static or for that

molten cobalt
#

i swapped from glacier to lightning blast personally

#

lightning blast + flame rush that triggers invocation that triggers brand that triggers DOT

dim perch
#

does anyone one know if echomancy on runebolt working for runemaster ? quikly hoped to legacy it and doesnt

slender sedge
#

doesnt work in what way

junior coral
#

im probably not speccing my orb right

dim perch
#

its nor remebering the rune combo from invocation

#

and generating a random one each time

molten cobalt
#

damn i just killed a loot lizard that spawned 5 new lizards

#

that stressed me out more than I'd like to admit

#

fomo running me

#

first one hit well

weary hamlet
#

rngesus watches

weary hamlet
#

the 2 lp prism at home

molten cobalt
#

is there a way i can give it to you?

#

direct trade is gone isnt it

late perch
#

Every pack gets 1 shot, bosses get bent over

harsh abyss
cloud aurora
#

evening i just dropped 3lp alchemist wand its still super strong on rune master frostclaw or healin hand paladin with 40% cast speed + shred armor for example? ty in advance for your answer

junior coral
#

i can't level like this

#

im just oom every second

#

lvl 24 atm

#

any tips on a build that doesn't feel bad

fading snow
junior coral
#

Any time I try anything other than glacier with the 80% less mana, the build slows down by 10x

#

and i have eto use melee

fading snow
#

I ran glacier + lightning blast through the campaign, though I'm sure there are better builds

junior coral
#

im going back to glacier verything else seems to need like good gear or something

scenic dock
#

frost wall + lightning blast goat for leveling

#

glacier ist "best" until lvl 20 or so

junior coral
#

okay ill respec again lol

weary hamlet
#

was pretty damn good for leveling alts too

#

also just got my primalist alt into normal monos and whoever baited me into playing bear can go fu ck himself, bear has even worse clear than saber

#

0 aoe

junior coral
#

im not liking flame rush.

harsh abyss
#

Lol I've heard that. I have plans for a primalist build or two, but I'd prefer to actually get things for the build I'm trying to play.

junior coral
#

static orb and mana strike im having better luck. builder spender but im not a fan of melee

late perch
#

I have mana strike spec’d to sustain my meteor casting

#

2 mana strikes and I go from full negative mana to almost full mana

#

You can try that

#

If you plan on going sorc

slender sedge
#

hmm do I sacrifice some offensive stats

weary hamlet
#

how much is your mana pool though?

slender sedge
#

only 150 im more interestedin the resistances

late perch
molten cobalt
#

so.. what the hell do i do with this

severe hatch
#

Use on the slots on the map

#

You can drag then there

molten cobalt
#

yeah but what are the dos and donts

severe hatch
#

The + green mean it gives a skill point

molten cobalt
#

what are the noob mistakes i would want to avoid

grim moss
#

I cant get any rune of shatterings. Even if I buy them through blacksmith I still have 0 of them but I loose money. Some weird bug. I need help.

severe hatch
#

Just do one of each green

#

To get the skill

severe hatch
#

It's like completion in poe

molten cobalt
severe hatch
#

Then do all

grim moss
severe hatch
#

First completion gives point

#

The next ones don't

molten cobalt
#

you can buy all the shatterings you want

#

but if you dont transfer them...

molten cobalt
#

i have never seen this system before

severe hatch
#

Have you played poe 1?

molten cobalt
#

ye

severe hatch
#

They work exactly like maps

#

First completion gives atlas points

fiery briar
#

Hey everyone, first time playing a runemaster. What is everyone else playing?

molten cobalt
#

oh ok

severe hatch
#

You have to do the ones with green icon to get weaver faction skill points

molten cobalt
#

so these little tokens are actual maps?

severe hatch
#

Yes

molten cobalt
#

not alterations to other maps?

severe hatch
#

Some do alter environment

#

If I'm not mistaken

#

But they work like maps

#

You complete then and they do stuff

molten cobalt
#

do they go on top of the current nodes or in the empty round ones in the empty space around

severe hatch
#

Empty

#

They are essentially maps, literally

molten cobalt
#

ok im starting to understand

#

if i plop one in, there will be branches connecting it

#

and it becomes a map

#

im guessing

severe hatch
#

Yup

#

That's the "alter the web"

#

They mean on trailers

molten cobalt
#

never watched the trailer

#

any super rare ones that should be saved for special situations?

severe hatch
#

Not sure. The three separator means corruption requirements, meaning no corruption, 100 corruption and 300 corruption

#

The first tab comes in plenty, second one less

#

The third I just got one so far, but I just entered empowered só

molten cobalt
#

three separator?

severe hatch
molten cobalt
#

i dont have diff tabs

severe hatch
#

There are 3 spaces

#

Not tabs

molten cobalt
#

you mean these 4 sections?

#

rows sort of

#

columns*

severe hatch
#

Yeah

#

First and second seem to come in plenty

slim orchid
#

I'm gonna do an elemental nova build for AoE and clear

#

and not sure what I'll do for single target but we'll see

#

probably line of fireballs

molten cobalt
#

@severe hatch thanks for your help by the way

junior coral
#

is orbit fulminationm good?

tawny crystal
#

how is spellblade?

molten cobalt
#

can someone explain why this is highlighted like this on a mage filter?

slender sedge
#

2 good rolls

#

shock and chill

#

prob

#

you can always open the filter and see what gets highlighted like that

molten cobalt
#

right

#

must be a pretty bad filter then

#

if they only sort by 2 suffixes

#

and let any base show

#

not even wands, but a god damn pickaxe lol

tawny crystal
slender sedge
#

2 rolls

#

t2

#

nope?

molten cobalt
#

thats prolly t3 mods

#

could be a shatter filter ye

slender sedge
#

but they better mention it

#

imagine some newbie spots that

#

equips pickaxe

molten cobalt
#

rofl

#

it will happen

#

because FrozenSentinel made the filter

#

and its in his latest mage video

#

the stacker focus autobomber

tawny crystal
#

hmmm how is casting mage rn?

slender sedge
#

without thinking

#

is bad

molten cobalt
#

of course

slender sedge
#

ok so

#

"lagon is hard" crowd

#

has acute skill deficit

molten cobalt
#

what is lagon

slender sedge
#

the tentacle sea god boss

#

apparently people have been dying to him

tawny crystal
#

can i make a fire mage i need to know

slim orchid
#

you can

#

meteor is pretty strong

molten cobalt
harsh abyss
#

He's one of the first real challenging bosses, compared to the rest of the campaign at least.

slender sedge
harsh abyss
#

Tends to take newer players by surprise

slender sedge
#

some invokes have ignite multipliers

slender sedge
slim orchid
#

one day i'll try elemental nova runemaster

#

when i'm not afraid to press keys

junior coral
#

anyone have a way to spec lightning blast i think im just doing it wrong

#

whenever i go to this skill everything takes 10x longe to kill

slender sedge
#

homeslice which subclass

junior coral
#

runemaster

#

i actually think i lvl faster in poe2 lol

slender sedge
#

OOKAY something is wrong then

junior coral
#

im probably using the wrong points in LB

slender sedge
#

first off

junior coral
#

since there is no mage gudies since people not playing it thsi season

slender sedge
#

why are you spamming LB as runemaster?

harsh abyss
#

If you're looking to make LB into single target, look at the Convergence node

junior coral
#

im using LB and Frostwall

harsh abyss
#

Otherwise, it tends to be used more to clear groups

junior coral
#

frost wall node that makes it shoot LB

#

i have to stop listening to random people ideas

#

and just stick with glacier

slender sedge
#

but if you are running those

#

why didnt you just go sorc

#

😮

#

wanna clear packs

#

one lightning spell one ice spell
invoke

#

trash is dead

junior coral
#

i wanted to play RM. is there any good build for that

slender sedge
#

I wont speak with confidence since im not in endgame yet

#

but if you struggle during levelling something is wrong

#

I can show you some stuff if you wanna see

harsh abyss
unreal blade
junior coral
#

other classes i do fine, since theres like 50 guides for those

#

which are up to date

slender sedge
#

wanna see some combos

#

to know what to do

#

or you can stream it and ill backseat the fk out of you

#

for a while

#

im down to help

junior coral
#

i put down ice wall and spam LB

#

i dont die. stuff just dies slow

#

im gonn ajust go back glacier or static orb 1 cast deleted everything

slender sedge
#

wait

#

does wall even work with LB

#

I thought its for projectiles only

junior coral
#

no i mean it casts lb itself

#

and then i cast my own too

slender sedge
#

hm

#

sounds meh asf not gonna lie

weary hamlet
#

otherwise the meta (or as close as it gets to meta) for LB is convergence, thus it will have 0 clear

tawny crystal
#

hmmm im wanting to cast fireballs lol

weary hamlet
#

what's stopping you?

tawny crystal
#

never played a mage in this game just trying to figure it out

#

dont know if i want to go sorc or runemaster

weary hamlet
#

probably sorc, meteor has a lot of synergy with fireball

tawny crystal
#

oh okay bet

tawny crystal
weary hamlet
#

yea played it a few patches ago, but given that it had no changes since, the builds should not differ much

tawny crystal
#

gotcha yeah im a sent main got bored of my 94 javadin already

latent steeple
#

hi anyone know how to check brand of deception's tool tip? to check estimated dps and stuff

weary hamlet
tawny crystal
weary hamlet
#

ironically my ole good machine holds reasonably well but man these giant bright yeallow explosions covering the screen

tawny crystal
weary hamlet
#

yea the game is still pretty rough when it comes to performance, but at least they significantly improved mob density

#

so at least now there is an obvious reason why it happens

tawny crystal
#

fr lol

#

soo with fireball is it my main dmg? do i spec it with ignite dmg or on hit dmg? then with more fireballs or 1 big one?

weary hamlet
#

you can do either hit or ignite, although I think ignite had long been power crept by fire frost claw

#

you want to get the linear node and then as many extra projectiles as you can

#

get pierce on helmet, saves a lot of points in the tree

#

use meteor for crateroborn -> spam fireball with the buff, repeat

tawny crystal
weary hamlet
#

its a class specific affix

#

at exalt its over 90% iirc

tawny crystal
#

gotcha so while leveling till u get tyhat prob spec into pierce to make leveling easier

lime tundra
#

I got runemaster unlocked but can’t put points into the passive tree, what am I missing?

fading snow
# slender sedge has acute skill deficit

Second phase Lagon is like the first thing in the game that actually checks your defences, so it makes sense that people die there. If you start the game for the first time and you don't know what resistances are, you don't really have to learn until phase 2 Lagon

#

Obvs if you know what you're doing you can kill him fast enough that it doesn't matter, but most new players won't have a build like that. And if you know what you're doing, you probably skip lagon anyway 😁

slender sedge
#

nah thats rat behaviour

#

100% that shit

weary hamlet
#

just sit in the corner and ignore the mechanics

#

that's the real skaven strategy

junior coral
#

Most of these youtube videos are bait builds

#

now im almost out of gold to respec and can't barely kill mobs RIP

silk pewterBOT
slender sedge
#

can you share screen

#

I wanna see what the fk are you doin 😄

junior coral
#

just linked the build

slender sedge
#

I dont know how much of it

#

do you have

#

thats lv100 spec

#

you linked

junior coral
#

he said lvl 25

#

prebrand

#

Anyone have a guide they can just link

#

for an OP lvling build

#

like all other classes have lol

slender sedge
#

wanna op levelling build

junior coral
#

ya

slender sedge
#

go ahead

#

press keys

junior coral
#

im lvl 25 😦

slender sedge
#

shit dies

#

yw

junior coral
#

stuck atm

slender sedge
#

come call

#

this is absurd

junior coral
#

yeah it is absurd i played this last year no problem

junior coral
#

and poe2 lvl 90 atm...on CHRONO

slender sedge
#

hop in

junior coral
#

i don't have a mic

slender sedge
#

no matter

junior coral
#

can you just link a build planner?

slender sedge
#

we can use the chat window in discord

tight bloom
#

just play glacier + mana strike

slender sedge
#

shhh

junior coral
#

rip

slender sedge
#

but ssf

#

so shit loot

#

XD

junior coral
#

i think some of these build guides assume like LE player 3 years+ or something

#

like that one i jus tlinked

slender sedge
#

thats your problem

#

you follow stuff you dont understand

junior coral
#

is there asimple build

slender sedge
#

yes

#

3 cheap elemental spells + teleport

#

invoke op shit

#

laugh

#

I had casting weapon 30 levels lower when I finally felt weak

junior coral
#

is there a link to that one

slender sedge
#

no im making the spec work as I go

#

no guides

#

braincells only

junior coral
#

i want to not just go back to my ez mode faceroll eyes closed Sentinel

#

but can't find mage guide

slim orchid
slender sedge
junior coral
#

yeah like sentinel

slender sedge
#

bro I literally handed you the spec

#

if "looking at it and reading" is too high of a barrier of entry

#

I have some bad news

junior coral
#

sorry i have like 1/10th the points for that

#

lvl 24

#

thats the issue with most vids too, like high lvl. not low lvl

slender sedge
#

dude

#

I made thatshit work

harsh abyss
#

Start with what seems like most important

slender sedge
#

the second I got runemaster

#

unless you are wearing like

#

starter gear

#

theres no way you are failing

junior coral
#

not failing, its just slow

slender sedge
#

what do you consider slow

#

can you show me a clip of you clearing

junior coral
#

im still using the fire wall fireball build atm. so the issue is mostyl mana

midnight dune
#

Does a single element prefix have a higher max amount than the generic one? i would assum so but i wanna make sure before i craft either ele or spell dmg on my ring

weary hamlet
#

all mage builds have mana issues, use mana strike

weary hamlet
weary hamlet
#

that's why ele dot affixes are as large as they are

midnight dune
#

oh interesting they are actually both 40-60% at T5

#

just found out when i compared my rings i forgot you could hold alt lol

clever hawk
#

Does anything about energy overflow on Focus scale with cast speed?

#

i'm assuming no, like i don't think it casts it more often anyway

junior coral
#

a bunch of these guides don't use any mana regen skill so confusing

molten cobalt
#

maybe they dont need to

junior coral
#

but i used them and i had no mana

molten cobalt
#

then you are missing some detail

junior coral
#

on both? hmm

molten cobalt
#

maybe they are using a mana generator skill

junior coral
#

nope

#

so hard to find a real llvling build on this class hmmm

molten cobalt
#

some skill passive node that reduces mana, that you have not reached yet?

molten cobalt
junior coral
#

can you link one?

molten cobalt
#

every mage skill can be a lvling build

junior coral
#

i tried LB and it was slower than poe2 lol

slender sedge
#

"can you link one"

#

bro is immune to learning

junior coral
#

i know i know but please every other class forum did this and its a breeze now on those

molten cobalt
#

oops wrong link

molten cobalt
junior coral
#

thx

molten cobalt
#

you can also just google "last epoch mage glacier leveling build"

junior coral
#

For orbital fulmination, they don't stack? like if i keep casting and have a billion orbits like in D4

weary hamlet
#

read the fulmination tooltip

harsh abyss
#

You cant avoid reading forever

cobalt yacht
#

Is chance to freeze based on the mob types base hp? Or is it harder to freeze in higher corruption

junior coral
#

i read it just dind't understand if thats what it meant

harsh abyss
#

Based on hp, which makes it harder in higher corruption because things have more hp

cobalt yacht
#

mortal surge
#

hi guys im currently at 200 coruptions using frostclaw build and im having a rly hard time

#

is there any meta build cuz i just randomly buildt it

#

?

waxen scroll
#

Well im only at 120.. But one shotting all as shatter build

mortal surge
#

i meant 100 not 200 mb

mortal surge
slim orchid
#

shatter is amazing

#

shame I couldn't deal with the mana costs

waxen scroll
slim orchid
#

switched to sorcerer and i'm happiernow

waxen scroll
mortal surge
#

what is shatter?

#

its that?

waxen scroll
#

Oh ffs stupid shitty Company phone

#

Mate go on maxroll tier list under a tier find shatter 🙂

molten cobalt
#

people already at 200 corr on hard mode monoliths..

#

jesus

#

people need sleep

harsh abyss
#

It doesnt take as long as youd think

#

You can get that in ~5 hours after hitting monos if you grind it out

slim orchid
#

tfw no way to convert Lightning Blast to fire to make a chain ignite build

junior coral
#

if im using static orb as my main skill is it unwise to take orbital

slim orchid
#

yeah I didn't like it

#

almost impossible to aim decently

#

regular orb is much better

#

I guess orbital is for disintegrate builds or smth

topaz sphinx
#

Rerolled from VK Rive into Sorc Glacier

#

Glacier is such a satisfying skill to use

slim orchid
#

indeed

#

when you hit those 3 spikes 👌

junior coral
#

glacier and mana strike or static orb and mana strike i do real good

#

i just dont like hitting melee 😄

molten cobalt
#

you can make mana strike into ranged

junior coral
#

oh wow

molten cobalt
#

with a skill passive

junior coral
#

oh but a lot less mana gain

molten cobalt
#

of course

#

always a tradeoff

worldly trail
#

TY EHG for the T pose of death

topaz sphinx
#

Mana Strike is awesome when you have a small mana pool while leveling. One hit gives you like 30-40% mana back.

#

Focus is the MVP tho

slim orchid
#

I'm trying to get that new amulet that makes focus act like warpath

#

it's hard

#

10 ascension runes and counting

worldly trail
#

the t pose of death takes us all

slender sedge
#

im arriving

#

time to put someone into an icicle

slim orchid
#

damn that staff is bonkers

#

freeze and ignite

slender sedge
#

got maxroll elemental so I kept it there with order glyph

#

ahahahaha

slim orchid
#

lmao

slender sedge
#

ah yes, the "damage over time application tool"

slender sedge
slim orchid
#

300% effectiveness with no cooldown

#

nice

slender sedge
#

also you can prime it with the triple lightning orb invocation

slim orchid
#

pity you have to do a little keyboard dance to invoke it tho

#

I find it kinda annoying

slender sedge
#

also + 56% dmg

#

also chance to double cast

#

the dance is what makes it fun

#

for me

slim orchid
#

maybe one day i'll write a script that presses the 3 keys in a row
