🧙┃mage

[scenic dock]

ye thats kinda my state atm aswell. I will roll lich to do some 500+ and gear my mage with it passively

[idle shard]

Is Meteor top-tier yet?

[molten cobalt]

you can probably make a badass lightning meteor build

with the new set item shatter thingie

[idle shard]

normal fire meteor is bad?

[molten cobalt]

dont know

[weary hamlet]

should be pretty good, lightning meteor doesnt benefit from its own craterborn pepega

[stoic vault]

I mean, i don't hate it.

[slender sedge]

well, it doubled my dps

the mana cost tax is brutal tho

[molten cobalt]

nice

@slender sedge do you know if +spell dmg scales brand DOT?

[slender sedge]

I think it scales of dmg over time

[molten cobalt]

yeah it does, but i wonder if it also scales of +spell dmg

or if thats a fully dead stat

and i dont mean % increased spell damage

i mean the +spell damage you get as implicit

[slender sedge]

+spell flat is for hits

not for dot

[molten cobalt]

but i keep running into people claiming brand scales with the same stuff that the skill that triggers it does

when i google various forums

[slender sedge]

ok wait

we have dummies

we test

[molten cobalt]

i need to know what to spend the last forge potential on

trying to improve the implicit

or trying to add a better prefix

[tardy pewter]

Just dropped mage guide maybe I should give autobomber a try

[molten cobalt]

I also keep seeing people writing that brand of deception scales depending on the base damage of the skill that triggers it as well

which doesnt make sense to me because brand of deception has it's own firm 400 flat base damage

so shouldnt matter if lightning blast or static orb triggers it

[slender sedge]

ok I tried to proc it with two spells

one hits for 13k other for 37k

and the dot ticks the same

only ticks more if I accidentally doublecast and apply more shock stacks

[molten cobalt]

ok so that settles the last part i wrote

it scales off it's own base damage, irregardless which skill triggers it

still wondering if +spell dmg scales it

[molten cobalt]

Probably better with an exalted one

[craggy lagoon]

prob but it was a dmg boost for now, still doing the questing monolith

[molten cobalt]

Yeah the storyline doesn’t really gear check you

[slender sedge]

it sure doesnt

[craggy lagoon]

yea im currently playing a 2h shatter strike build lmao

[next horizon]

Hello guys first time playing HC sorcerer can I ask questions ?

Should I stack mana or ward or both im a bit lost

how much mana regen should I target ?

[molten cobalt]

I suggest finding a guide to check alongside playing, especially if you’re sound hardcore and also mage

[next horizon]

I come from sentinel which is straightforward

but yeah I guess i'll copy defense from another guide and do my work after

xD

for now :

[molten cobalt]

Mage isnt as straightforward I bet

[next horizon]

yeah especially resist ?

[molten cobalt]

Since mage needs everything it can muster

And then some more

[next horizon]

I should be more careful about resists

[molten cobalt]

Resists are easily maxed

And must be maxed

[next horizon]

rly ?

ok nice so I can play another amulet

should I stack armor or its more ward + DR

[slender sedge]

damn im such a glass cannon rn

[sleek reef]

Meteor playable guys?

[stoic vault]

I use it as a stat stick/bonus damage but thats about it.

[small depot]

Hey guys, what are the good mage builds at the moment ?

[next horizon]

im trying the set

lets see how it goes

[molten cobalt]

Brand seems to still work well

Basic INT stacking version and a stronger STR stacking version too

I have no complaints myself

[slender sedge]

how tf do I stack more mana

aside from rolling it on gear lol

[stoic vault]

Roll it on your gear :^).

But also theres a flat 15% multiplier on Sorc.

[languid ridge]

Any way to make fireball > flame rush do any actual damage? I use 3 fireballs and then use flamerush which also casts greater fireball and it does jack shit, probably less dps than just blasting with normal combos

[molten cobalt]

I think you answered your own question

There’s many combos that just don’t work

So if you tested it then you have your answer

[gilded hare]

what does your gear look like? my LB build was hitting like a wet noodle until I updgraded my weapon that I was still using from early in the campaign

[languid ridge]

How do I find combos that work? Just google runemaster builds? Don't really want to test EVERYTHING myself, that's gonna take days

Also to be honest I kinda suck ass and know little about the game, so my testing would mean nothing

[stoic vault]

You kinda just clue into whats going to work/not work with the more you play. I had no idea my build was going to work as well as it currently is until I just tried it. Respeccing is also very cheap.

[molten cobalt]

LB is realistically only does half the work

Brand does the rest

But it feels like LB does it all

[molten cobalt]

YouTube it

And check reputable streamers and their versions

[molten arch]

Anybody else running shatterstrike and feel squishy as heck

[molten cobalt]

Like zizaran, moxsy, frozensentinel, ziggyD, raxx and so on

[waxen scroll]

What is this auto bomber build?

[waxen scroll]

Im a beast and godlike tanky when hitting mobs

When not hitting mobs i flip

[molten cobalt]

Fun

And easy to play

[tight bloom]

I'm fairly new to last epoch, so I'm pretty sure that this build is far from optimized, what should I change? https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/A88RydMA

The INT version isn’t new, but the STR version is new for this league

[weary hamlet]

rngesus has spoken

[harsh abyss]

Oh man

[waxen scroll]

dope thanks

[harsh prawn]

any shatter strike spellblade having trouble with survival?

[clear mortar]

Hey guys, sorry to bother you, but I’ve been searching around (even checked Maxroll) and I just can’t find a Lightning Mage build that actually works well for clearing all game content.
I’m looking for something that can handle monoliths, bosses, and late game stuff without falling apart. I really want to play a Lightning Sorc, but most builds I’ve tried either feel too squishy or the damage falls off.
Anyone have a solid Lightning build that’s working for them right now?

[molten cobalt]

Read a tiny bit further up

[waxen locust]

is there a leveling build guide that still works well for season 2?

[uncut zealot]

All of them

[clear mortar]

Frozensentinel ? Oh thanks i though it was a autobomber

[molten cobalt]

it is

but with lightning dmg

[clear mortar]

https://tenor.com/view/thank-you-appreciate-bow-the-naked-director-netflix-gif-16434147

[molten cobalt]

you dont actually have to use Focus though, removing the auto part

[hasty obsidian]

guys, i think there is a bug that int only gives 2 ward retention

instead of 4

[molten cobalt]

i self cast lightning blast myself because i dont have the gear for focus variant

[weary hamlet]

it was nerfed

[hasty obsidian]

really?

wutttt

[uncut zealot]

Ward was nerfed

[hasty obsidian]

i thought they nerf how ward decays, they nerf int instead?

no wonder my meteor sorc is so squishy now

[weary hamlet]

yeah the decay rate nerf was a year ago

[junior coral]

Saw a bm finally kill Uber Aberroth after many tries but he was doing like over 10million dps. I wonder if mage can put that numbers out this patch.

with maybe some secret technique

[harsh abyss]

Who knows, yeah. We'll have to see

[topaz turret]

hello guys, im new to this game, can anyone share a build for spellblade ? that's the first character i wanna try

thank you in advance 🙂

[harsh abyss]

Wouldnt surprise me if it was a minmaxed brand build that did it. Brand has the benefit of being able to walk around a lot while their damage ticks.

[harsh abyss]

My recommendation would be to try stuff out and see which skills you like, then build around them. All the spellblade skills will be viable clear almost all content.

But if you NEED a build guide, check out lastepochtools.com or maxroll

[topaz turret]

thank you , i will try then to experiment with skills 😄

[thin charm]

any1 have any good frost/ice mage loot filters?

[harsh abyss]

LE is great for experimenting, and very forgiving with respecs

[uncut zealot]

I had a meteor build pumping out 10.8m

Just super squishy

5k ehp

[hasty obsidian]

how long can your mana last dealing 10m damage with meteor?

[uncut zealot]

Using mana strike, quite a while

[hasty obsidian]

the thing is meteor mage need to recharge mana during fights, which sucks

[molten cobalt]

kitzun

[hasty obsidian]

i see

[molten cobalt]

you know stuff

[uncut zealot]

With mana strike it’s basically instant

[molten cobalt]

i have a question for you

[uncut zealot]

Uh oh

[molten cobalt]

brace yourself

does +spell damage (from implicit) scale dot from brand?

[uncut zealot]

Hm

My initial thought is no

Iirc dots have a separate flat damage

[molten cobalt]

i googled long and hard and did not get any smarter on the subject

[uncut zealot]

That’s scaled with stacks and %

[molten cobalt]

yes, but i also found something that contradicts that

let me find it again

[molten cobalt]

yeah and i read something opposite to that

which is why i have been asking around

[harsh abyss]

Thats wrong. Spells get flat damage added to their DoT, but brand wont

[molten cobalt]

someone on LE forum claimed that brand scales of the same things that the skill that triggered brand does

[harsh abyss]

Like disintegrate and glyph of dominion have added damage effectiveness, which means flat spell damage gets added to them.

[molten cobalt]

which would make it scale from flat spell dmg

but thats just some rando on a forum

[uncut zealot]

Not true b

Damage is the same with 0 points in static orb versus all the multipliers

[molten cobalt]

GPT is legit impressive

[harsh abyss]

It should inherit all More modifiers that dont specify Hit

[stoic vault]

I'm loving my build, but god, I'm squishy right now.

[uncut zealot]

Global modifier. But additional damage to static orb via the tree does not affect brand

[molten cobalt]

thanks for the help @uncut zealot @harsh abyss

[harsh abyss]

Yeah

[molten cobalt]

now i can finish off my weap craft

i was unsure if to spend the last potential on rerolling the shit implicit or try to reroll a prefix

[fiery kiln]

With types of affixes works for cold Dota dmg?
Elemental dmg over time as I know, but what about:
Spell damage
Elemental Dmg
Cold dmg?

[thin charm]

DO YOU GUYS PREFER A STAFF OR WAND+CATALYST>

[uncut zealot]

All of the above

[molten cobalt]

DEPENDS ON BUILD

[thin charm]

lol sorry caps lock

i got this cool wand unique atm but idkl if it will fall off later

[uncut zealot]

What is it

[molten cobalt]

probably will

[uncut zealot]

Ah yes

It’s good for frostbite frost claw

[thin charm]

im using it for glacier atm

[molten cobalt]

isnt there some frost set with a wand?

[thin charm]

it like quadrupled my dps xD

[craggy lagoon]

anybody playing elemental nova rn?

[molten cobalt]

that could be good if you slap it on an exalted wand

@uncut zealot this is why i was wondering btw

48 flat is lowest roll

[harsh abyss]

I have a build that I'm going to start for it tonight I think

[molten cobalt]

and changing necrotic damage is low chance

[craggy lagoon]

wanna give it a shot but im waiting until ican get the unique chest for it, no luck so far

[harsh abyss]

I have the chest, but I need the helm

[molten cobalt]

maybe this is something for you

[craggy lagoon]

ive got the helm at +6 ;p

but no chest ;-;

[uncut zealot]

But necrotic is dead stat haha

Imagine you hit str

[molten cobalt]

yeah and turns out +spell dmg is dead stat too

but at least necro dmg has a chance to roll into DOT

[uncut zealot]

Really..?

[molten cobalt]

or mana spent into ward

ye

so thats what i shall try

[uncut zealot]

Oh. Yeah. Duh

That’s a sick scepter regardless

[molten cobalt]

old failed one

but i like the mana spent gained as ward

[uncut zealot]

That’s a good one too

[molten cobalt]

no penetration

[weary hamlet]

its pretty good in many builds, its problem is (relatively) low LP chance

[craggy lagoon]

ive been collecting uniques for runemaster to as I thought that would pair best with nova, wasnt sure what you were planning

[uncut zealot]

That’s what eggs are for

[weary hamlet]

high lpl = still low chance for good egg rolls

I would know I rolled like 50 of them through the nemesis today

[uncut zealot]

Yes. But it still is your best chance….. lol

50?

And nothing happened every time?

You want open LP. Not prefilled

[molten cobalt]

rip

[uncut zealot]

A “good egg roll” is multi open LP

[uncut zealot]

That is still a sick scepter for a hit build lol

But bad base for that

[molten cobalt]

its for brand

[uncut zealot]

Ya ik

Oh well. Was worth a shot

[molten cobalt]

crit chance is obv wasted

[uncut zealot]

Yeah but so was Necro so

Worth the shot on reroll

[molten cobalt]

15 potential left but all stats are maxed

[uncut zealot]

Hit it with rune of removal lmao

[molten cobalt]

suuuurely

[uncut zealot]

If you aren’t gonna use it with those stats cuz of crit, I would

[molten cobalt]

oh i will use it

[uncut zealot]

Ah then prob not yet lol

Dave the fp

[molten cobalt]

but i still got no mana guide

[uncut zealot]

Save

[molten cobalt]

or that set helmet

game hates me

[uncut zealot]

I’ve dropped 11 of the vila sets now

[molten cobalt]

...

HOW

[uncut zealot]

Super common lol

[molten cobalt]

not to me

[uncut zealot]

Make sure it isn’t hidden in filter

[molten cobalt]

that would be super awkward, seeing as the filter is made for that build

it's Frozen's filter

but i should check yes

[uncut zealot]

The staff is hidden lol

The helm should show then

You cof?

Just do set helm prophecy. I got like 3-4 from doing a couple of those

[molten cobalt]

yes

[molten cobalt]

i freakin have been!

[uncut zealot]

wtf

[molten cobalt]

told you, game hates me

i got many LP cleavers and LP criterions

2LP criterion even

but no freakin mana guide and helmet

[uncut zealot]

I’ve rerolled so many criterion’s. Best I got was 1lp 😦

[molten cobalt]

not the best implicit roll, but ah well

now how do i dive into the filter to check

[uncut zealot]

His filter should have a rule on top labeled vilatrias helm

Just make sure it’s enabled

[molten cobalt]

yeah on the endgame version

i run the leveling one still

im only lvl84

should i swap already?

yeah ill swap and try

[uncut zealot]

Oh Jesus you using leveling?

I stopped using that once I got to rune master mastery at like level 14 😂

[obtuse tendon]

Never used the leveling, found it buggy

he dropped an updated version of his filter today

[uncut zealot]

You likely had them hidden tbh

I’ve editted the filter so much

[obtuse tendon]

also it's very easy to read his filter and add your upgrades

[weary hamlet]

got a 2 lp one which I dont have great slams for yet, and a few legendary rolls that were strictly worse than my 1 lp ire

[molten cobalt]

dont say that 😦

[uncut zealot]

Honestly, you’re better off making your own and stealing his strings individually

[molten cobalt]

hopefully i get the helmet now

i still need mana guide

done loads of unique amulet prophecies

[uncut zealot]

I wouldn’t lose sleep over it personally 😂

[compact star]

damage seems to be ignoring my ward

[stoic vault]

Any recommendations on how to improve survivability? Things to change? Etc?

[weary hamlet]

which damage in particular? Some sources of % current health damage do ignore ward

[compact star]

it was physical/void

but then Pannion's attacks didnt bypass after it

so maybe it was a mod on an emey

enemy

[thin charm]

how many chapters are in story? im think im in ch89

8*

[weary hamlet]

9

[mild sail]

What is more fun in your opinion rune master or Spellblade?

[languid ridge]

Runemaster

[weary hamlet]

idk both are fun but rm has a wider build variety

these days you can just respec between them though

[languid ridge]

As far as visuals go big fireball is just more fun for me to see than shatterstrike meatgrinder

[mild sail]

think I'll try making a Rm build once I finish the story

Or should I just repsec rn? I'm at farwood

[fierce bronze]

Hey guys!! What is good end game sorc build? My fire claw build is struggling in c100

[half pollen]

I also have one of those but I dont have any good exalted amulets. I want at least T7 +T6 for that but they just wont drop

[weary hamlet]

going to empowered was rough for me too cause I didnt respect the weaver mechanics and champions, but got it fairly smooth sailing now at ~250 with focal blast. I'm sure that fire frost claw is a better build in every way so you shouldnt struggle

[uncut zealot]

Focal blast feels ok??

[weary hamlet]

need a bit of gear and careful play, tis all

[weary hamlet]

feels pretty alright with spark nova for clear

[uncut zealot]

Nice. I’m going frost claw now. So we’ll see how that performs

Cold dot

[fierce bronze]

Should I do something with my weaver tree? i only have 18 points in it right now but yeah im just super squishy even with max resists

[weary hamlet]

how are the ladle builds these days btw?

[molten cobalt]

finally!

[weary hamlet]

dont go overboard on stuff that buffs champs, they can be rough. Otherwise maximize whatever loot you want/need

[uncut zealot]

Nice!

[uncut zealot]

Not sure tbh

[molten cobalt]

this is broken isnt it?

it shows almost everything as purple

i dont see it filtering for exalted

[coral thorn]

can static be turned fire? i'm doing a hydrahedron fire mage build and wanting to keep things as fire based as possible. have been using volcanic orb but thinking of replacing it but want something that leans into fire and ignite

[mild sail]

What is a good build to start wit RM?

[scenic dock]

lightning blast

[midnight dune]

Any frostclaw users able to provide insight into which of the cast nodes to take in the bottom left of the tree? should you just take all 4?

[half pollen]

Because it doesnt Filter for exalted

[jaunty birch]

Not sure for this season but used to skip the last one and top one

cuz it's too costly

unless you can afford it

[molten cobalt]

my point was shouldnt it?

i think creator missed it

[half pollen]

No, it has no condition for exalted

You need advanced options

[molten cobalt]

well exactly

[half pollen]

Or item rarity condition

[molten cobalt]

advanced options are not ticked

thats what i was asking if its really intended, or broken

right now it shows all garbage

[half pollen]

Yeah its just badly made

[molten cobalt]

but he probably MEANT it to sort by t7 ONLY right?

do i understand his naming scheme right

[half pollen]

Yeah, he probably did mean to do that

I never copy any filters because of stuff like this

In the end they hide some very good item and you go crazy

[molten cobalt]

yeah but my trust issues are battling with my lazyness

[mild sail]

Besides lightning blast what else would be good for RM? I just respeced to it

[molten cobalt]

and lazyness is buffed as hell

[coral thorn]

recommendations for a 5th skill on runemaster hydrahedron build? i'm using glyph, runebolt, rlame word, ri, and have been using volcanic orb but not sure if i should use something different over orb

[half pollen]

Runic invocation can be very strong. Lightning Brand is very strong

[uncut zealot]

yes this is an error

need to go nito advanced properties and make it t7

[molten cobalt]

yeah i did

also an error in his order

he put the shatter ranked higher than the t7

so a t7 could still show as light grey for shatter

[uncut zealot]

ya

i just did prophecies for 80 boot drops.. no snowdrifts 😦

[mild sail]

I'll try runic

[coral thorn]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/BgGZKr9B
any advice on changes and improvements? i only just hit 50, so long way to go, but looking at ways to improve survivability rn. i wanna keep wand, relic, and helm, but the boots and rings are negotiable

will blade weaving and volkas razor increase damage from fire aura triggered by surge, or not?

[oblique fossil]

@midnight dune If you can stand the mana cost generally the top of the 4 usually don't take the bottom one

@uncut zealot farm then timeliness boss

[uncut zealot]

ye ik but that takes forevre lol

[oblique fossil]

Not boss I meant the unique echos in fire..... time line

Sorry not home to get full info lol

[uncut zealot]

ahh ya

[oblique fossil]

Can try rune of ascendant it is how before 1.2 I would get first pair long before farming the timeline

[molten cobalt]

god damn

[oblique fossil]

@coral thorn work on the resistances

[molten cobalt]

i have missed soooooo many idols

that the leveling filter hid

holy crap

[uncut zealot]

yeah it sucks lol

[molten cobalt]

fk me

[oblique fossil]

I usually modify a new filter on top for idols not included in filter

[coral thorn]

naturally but that's not all my gear. just the uniques, idols, and passives

[oblique fossil]

@coral thorn I am not home and hard to see the planners on a phone or I would have looked closer

[coral thorn]

it's a question are there some passives i could take to help, maybe switch out volcanic orb for something, that sort of thing. i'm only lvl 51 at this point. there's a lot of stuff missing from my build. it's far from finished @oblique fossil

[oblique fossil]

@coral thorn tbh I haven't played much in 1.2 but before mostly anything works for most part till empowered echos. And I only play hardcore so I tend tad more defense first

[coral thorn]

i refuse to do hardcore cuz i'd never make it to the end. i tend to do stupid stuff a lot lol

and this is me thinking of empower, getting to abberoth, ect. i've never delved far past getting monos empowered but 1.2 makes me heavily want to

[oblique fossil]

Yeah I tried what I used to do skipping through soul. Dungeon didn't work and I died to the champion in there lol

[coral thorn]

the skip i have been using doesnt even do soul bastion. run through to la, clear it, run through to the oracle's abode. grab sapphire quest and talk to the oracle then go to temporal. after that play through till the end of the campaign, but you can stop if you kill arjani and grab the desert idol. you'll have everything at that point

[next lance]

What happened to mages in 1.2? I was looking at tierlists and they are barely making B tier! Did they get nerfed?

[coral thorn]

sentinel got reworked

[steel ridge]

they nerfed the claw

[brittle merlin]

Claw is still going crazy for me, is it based on max tier content?

[oblique fossil]

Just Noone found super op mage yet because fc supers are gone

[brittle merlin]

I’m like level 85 or something

[steel ridge]

damage is still there, the mana costs are bigger

[next lance]

I forgot everytime a class gets reworked it end ups very strong.!

[brittle merlin]

My build is melting everything like butter still, just play around mana and it’s easy

[coral thorn]

i'm personally trying to get help and recommendations for my build but i dont use claw after i get to runebolt

[next lance]

I saw the hydraheron RM making a come back. I hope they rework spellblade next. It’s my favorite archetype.

[coral thorn]

geez. just did my first cemetary with my burn hydra mage and that was a struggle. compared to the paladin who nuked it in one hit, that was crazy. i mean sure it's in the 66 timeline with my mage at 52, but still

[weary hamlet]

sentinel is "a little" overtuned right now, to nobody's surprise

[coral thorn]

happens when a big rework or class drop happens. tis the way of things

[molten cobalt]

why do i still get this?

i had a harbinger eye and right clicked it

so i consumed the eye

[steel ridge]

I haven't looked at runebolt this season - it used to hit like a wet paper towel. how is it this season

[coral thorn]

i use it as utility for my hydra build. literally set up for rune generations so have no idea

plus i push my build for dots and burn dmg. i've never really looked at runebolt as a damaging skill

[steel ridge]

that makes sense

[uncut zealot]

woven firstborn is hard as fk

stupid fihgt

[mild sail]

Anyone know of a runic invocation build

[coral thorn]

depends on the invocations you want to use

[weary hamlet]

how much corruption?

[uncut zealot]

300

my convenant does like 5% of his hp

versus, one shots the normal weaver boss

[weary hamlet]

hmm Im not that high yet but I dont struggle with it, in fact looks more like a nothingburger of a boss to me

but I'll see as I push higher

[uncut zealot]

the firstborn?

where there is 2 bosses?

running tombs seems like a giant waste of time ngl

[weary hamlet]

woven firstborn is the generic boss of all cemeteries, do you mean a different version?

[uncut zealot]

yeah lol different versio

it is a special woven map

[weary hamlet]

tombs give decent exp = favor and some weaver currency, but surely you dont do them if you want to go fast

hmmm I think I remember that one too, not sure what its named

[uncut zealot]

that has the generic boss that protects the firstborn boss

i 100-0 the generic boss in one tap

but the firstborn is like 5% at a time

[mild sail]

Not really sure atm just respeced to RM

[small depot]

Hey i want to start as a mage, what build would you recommend ?

[weary hamlet]

judgment and erasing strike look good

lightning javelin too

[coral thorn]

the way rm works is you cast a spell you get a rune. you can hold 3 runes. cast ri and it consumes runes to cast a unique spell. like if you use a lighting skill then 2 fire skills, and cast ri you get hydrahedron which is a fire mortar

[coral thorn]

i wanna find a good, hard hitting time rot build

[mild sail]

Ok so what spells would you recommend?

[coral thorn]

judgement hits way too hard and i'm playing one of my sentinels rn and it hits like a truck. just cleared black sun by just repeatedly dropping judgement on the boss and melted it before it ran off screen to do it's bombardment

[coral thorn]

that's a google question imo. i like hydra because i'll build for fire mage. so i slam a lot of ignite and go for box of hydrae

[weary hamlet]

you use the punch build? I guess it's no longer one punch though

[coral thorn]

i'm using the maxroll leveling build

[gusty girder]

does archmage's mana refund apply to skills activated from other skills? eg, black hole activating meteor

[uncut zealot]

i lvoe nemesis eggs

[molten cobalt]

use defiled fortress as a favorite

[uncut zealot]

huh

[molten cobalt]

a weaver map

[uncut zealot]

which is that

[molten cobalt]

a nemesis on each floor of a tower

[uncut zealot]

ihi

oh yeah

[molten cobalt]

so like 5 or 6 nemesis

very fast

[uncut zealot]

i have the unique gamba one rn lol

[molten cobalt]

i think its called defiled fortress anyway

no its not that one

[brittle merlin]

Pretty sure it’s tower

[molten cobalt]

i dont remember the name

[brittle merlin]

Conquered tower

Or something like that

[molten cobalt]

probably

its not defiled fortress anyhow

[spark hearth]

As from DnD one lesson holds true

If else, Fireball it

[molten cobalt]

yep thats the one

[weary hamlet]

eh I should have left some of the thin harbs for last

with wasd and improved evade they are sooo much easier

even with a half assed build with bad gear

[uncut zealot]

I can’t wait to swap to new build

Missing 3 key pieces of gear 😦

And I need 600k gold lol

[hushed sigil]

do people still use volley fc? I think even without it I can proc dragorath's claw 100% of the time now because of the spellblade node

[scenic dock]

prayge for mid season tweaks

[uncut zealot]

They don’t do mid season

[fading snow]

mana guide seems like a nice easy alternative to mana strike for regular sustain -- I don't have to get close to the boss anymore

I upgraded my staff but went from -5 to -3 mana cost 💀 with like 6 casts/second on average it's killin me

[idle shard]

wow this chat is comparatively dead to other classes

that bad huh?

[scenic dock]

yes

[fading snow]

mage is fine 🤷‍♂️

less build guides published -> less people playing it

especially since the one popular build guide was probably bait 😁

[brittle merlin]

Mage is slappin shit, they just see nerf and run

[fossil depot]

"fine" isn't good enough for your average meta-chasing AARPG player.

[fading snow]

I mean, I'm over 300 corr with a hipster build, presumably the good builds are higher with no issues

[idle shard]

personally im just waiting for FrozenSentinel to cook up something for sorcerer but hes playing RM and I hate that class

[brittle merlin]

Im playing RM xD i find it fun

I want to make another class though, whats a fun one. only played mage so far

[fossil depot]

what kind of AARPG characters do you like? Various Sentinels are the new hotness right now. Marksman is getting lots of love with Heartseeker (and many old builds still being quite good afaik)

[brittle merlin]

I usually just play mages but I just started this game since deleting it after playing 3h on launch. Combat seems super fun so i want to try something else

maybe ill try heartseeker then, i see lots of talk about it

[slender sedge]

RM is fun rn

go full lightning

[brittle merlin]

Oh i am lol

[slender sedge]

with the 2 piece lightning set

[slender sedge]

interesting

[brittle merlin]

I cant take gordian prism off, its too good

Just 1 taps whole rooms

If i had that staff with 300-400% it would be great

[slender sedge]

funny stick

im using

[viral fox]

hi all, can anyone give me a tip for my build?

[fading snow]

for the next one, you can seal the set bonus at T1 and put another damage prefix on it

[thin charm]

what lvl should i look to swap off from glacier?

[fading snow]

RIP my suffixes 😢

[slender sedge]

wait it still gives you set bonus?

I had no idea

[fading snow]

yeah 🙂

just t1 affix is enough to turn on the set bonus, and shock duration is not the best stat around 😅

[slender sedge]

well that changes everything

[brittle merlin]

Is there a way to farm that, or is it just ascending and staff echo nodes

[molten cobalt]

does anyone know why i keep dropping the exact same set helmet in this map?

i have completed 4 separate prophecies

all 4 dropped the same set helmet

x2, due to a lens

so 8 of the same helmet

is it map based?

[slender sedge]

wait weavers drops

can also copy crafted set items

ahahah

[obsidian quarry]

Does conduit from surge apply to blasts cast by it, or just the melee attack?

[thin charm]

can i do anything with dupe uniques?

[fading snow]

many things!

[slender sedge]

if it has no LP

you can throw it into the nemesis egg

if it has LP, you gamba

or imprint into woven tree if you want more

but that only works for commonly dropped ones, not specific boss loot

[fading snow]

also you can sacrifice them to reroll stats on a different one

[next horizon]

how do u feel tanky by leveling a sorcerer please ?

[uncut zealot]

you dont lol

damage is mages defense

[next horizon]

meeeeh bro help me

should I put a shield ?

[uncut zealot]

that question tells me you havetn even tried

so best of luck

[next horizon]

im new to sorcerer im a sentinel player its so straigthforward and easy xd

[tight bloom]

flame ward, chill, freeze, slow, sphere of protection, emergency ward in base tree, teleport with stun avoid node, high res, avarice gloves for leech

completed leveling deathless on sorcerer, didn't even craft any gear

[next horizon]

ofc deathless leveling I did it too

its just I see my life doing things I didnt see on sentinel

and since im in HC its a bit scary for next steps

[tight bloom]

usually sorcerers use lost knowledge node to survive, at least before nerf

[next horizon]

I just respecced and took it

lets see

[slender sedge]

idk the deadliest thing in my lv 90 monoliths

as lv 82

are lagspikes

[brazen karma]

this is true but after you hit empowered monos, not having 100% crit avoidance or 100% crit reduction is probably more deadly than your internet going out

[weary hamlet]

its pretty deadly yeah

although with the new patch a ton of shit in emp monos is deadly

[tight bloom]

sometimes for me game just hangs and dcs me after couple of seconds, occasionally this results in node losing it's reward, if it's server side issue, then I can only wish good luck to hc players without immortal build

[weary hamlet]

I already died to all kinds of random bullshit, cant imagine playing hardcore

[uncut zealot]

i really dislike the plasma version of this build

[weary hamlet]

just like 10 min ago I was clearing and I saw some champion throw a tiny little whimsy ball at me, so how bad could it be right?

the tiny little whimsy ball: 8k non crit

thats a no from me dog

[slender sedge]

BTW

how do you spec for covenant

I tried to compare st with ball lightning

and its just garbage

[uncut zealot]

covenant is?

idk what you mean by spec for covenant

[tight bloom]

how much corruption you run? I'm running 100 and only died once to a white mob, who threw a large flaming ball off screen for 1600 damage

[weary hamlet]

that was like 250

[uncut zealot]

flame ruhs convert to cold. fire armor convert to light. rush rush armor on bar

[weary hamlet]

but I ran into plenty of similar bullshit even at 100

[slender sedge]

I think it was you that said

[uncut zealot]

i use covenant, yes

[slender sedge]

that this

[uncut zealot]

it is doing 250k ticks rn

[slender sedge]

is better ST than this

but it ticks like

3 times

[uncut zealot]

100% it is

and isnt even close

[slender sedge]

im at a dummy

shit aint even close

[uncut zealot]

whats ur weapon

[uncut zealot]

yeah i dont think can use that

that is sick tho lol

[next horizon]

wtf is that

[slender sedge]

also some guy told me

you can seal the set affix

and its still a set item

[uncut zealot]

how

[slender sedge]

just like any other

glyph of despair

[uncut zealot]

i thought you dont have the option to seal

[next horizon]

im doing a build with this

u can put in on another item !?

[weary hamlet]

you do, its like a regular affix

[uncut zealot]

hm ok

yeah you def want to seal it then ll

lol

[weary hamlet]

this specific one is 100% seal fodder

[uncut zealot]

giving up prefix slot is awful

[slender sedge]

I imprinted it

XDDDD

[uncut zealot]

you on cof or mg

wtf

[slender sedge]

CoF SAF

I love the targeting in this game

[slender sedge]

yes, look for "Great bridge woven echo"

at the shop

its the first column, very bottom

[uncut zealot]

what isur weaver tree looking like

[slender sedge]

once you clear it theres altar, then you can throw in set items and get shards with set bonuses

[next horizon]

how it works mate u can put any line of the set on a rare item ?

[slender sedge]

you get affix shards like for any other stat

[uncut zealot]

i need a new loot filter

bad lol

[weary hamlet]

no, each set item shatters into a predetermined shard

[uncut zealot]

i hate using other peoples

[slender sedge]

@uncut zealot

[uncut zealot]

you went in on that staff eh? ;lol

if i put unique boots in it, will i get more unique boots?

or how does it work

[molten cobalt]

it tries to give you similar item

[uncut zealot]

yes

base wise or stat wise

[slender sedge]

if you put in specific unique

it rolls it each time

[uncut zealot]

ah ok

[slender sedge]

can get more LP too

[molten cobalt]

it can give you the exact same unique

[slender sedge]

I want to make something that will last me for a while

[uncut zealot]

fair

[molten cobalt]

the bottom left one has given me the most copies of a unique item

the top right is the shittiest one

and i have also gotten 2 at the same time

several times

[slender sedge]

bottom left one is

echo completion

[molten cobalt]

aye

[slender sedge]

so you basically roll it the most

[uncut zealot]

nice drop

[slender sedge]

spicy

[uncut zealot]

man im so sick of dying

plasma orb version of this build is so bad

[slender sedge]

mm

can you guess what im goin for

🤔

[molten cobalt]

set items cant have LP right

[uncut zealot]

no

im honestly about to just reroll rogue

lo

[molten cobalt]

weren't you going frostclaw

[uncut zealot]

yes

[slender sedge]

ngl im thinking rn

[uncut zealot]

im trying to farm rn

[slender sedge]

if set afffix is just another affix

H M M

[uncut zealot]

i need a ton of gold to swap over and like 3 items

[uncut zealot]

you just need to be able to seal it

[slender sedge]

once I find replacement for my current staff

ill try to throw it into a magical blender

and see what happens

[molten cobalt]

how is covenant arc applied?

is it aoe application?

[uncut zealot]

nah just direct basically

pick a target and covenant it

itll shoot a beam out

[slender sedge]

yea

[uncut zealot]

itll randomly chain

but idk how to replicate it intentionall

im really realyl sikc of dying

[weary hamlet]

remind me again, how many times it hits a mob per cast, 3?

[uncut zealot]

5 I think

[tired hound]

question do i have to have Frost claw on my bars for it to proc?

or i dont have to have it?

[uncut zealot]

Nope

[tired hound]

cool

gonna cook something up

[uncut zealot]

Drag claw?

[tired hound]

frost claw

[uncut zealot]

Yeah. But using dragonath claw?

[tired hound]

nah

[uncut zealot]

Oh that’s the other way around

[tired hound]

shatter

[weary hamlet]

yea but its 5 total right? so against single target half will bounce back to you?

[uncut zealot]

So I don’t do that lol

It doesn’t bounce off me

I shoot it off screen and keep moving

And it ticks 5 times

[uncut zealot]

Atleast visually

[slender sedge]

the three shamans fight

is so comical

go on guys stack up surely I dont have bouncing exploding lightning bolt

XDD

[stoic vault]

The bloom

[slender sedge]

äää

[uncut zealot]

ima respec frost claw when i can afford the respec.. if that aint workin, im goin rogue lol

[stoic vault]

I'm currently doing Ignite Fireball.

And its working quiet well.

[uncut zealot]

using enchant weapon?

[stoic vault]

Nope. Sorc. Current character is here.

[uncut zealot]

i wanna do fireball ign with enchant weapon

the memory leakage in this game

is astronomical

[molten cobalt]

@uncut zealot you reckon int or elemental DOT scales damage better?

for brand

[uncut zealot]

the age old response of it depends

hwo much of each that you ahve

[molten cobalt]

i guess

only 97 int

not bad

[weary hamlet]

love the necrotic siege golems with travelers soul

teleports right behind me

instantly shotguns me with 10x1200 damage

balans komrad

[uncut zealot]

why is LE using 90% of my ram

wtf

[molten cobalt]

both 1 lp

3rd time i get 2 of these

[uncut zealot]

im getting so tilted

from playing magetbh

[obtuse tendon]

Int Much better

[uncut zealot]

not necesarrily true

at all

[obtuse tendon]

Int is 1% shock chance

Shock chance is 6%

Brand damage

So 1 int or shock chance is much better than one point of dot

Rest is on you to check which numbers makes it at the top based on those stats

[molten cobalt]

why not int or str

so sad

[slender sedge]

F

[weary hamlet]

just swap it in the new echo omegalul

[molten cobalt]

do what?

explain yourself

[uncut zealot]

im | | close from swapping off mage

[slender sedge]

why

dying a lot?

bad clear?

[uncut zealot]

dying a lot

lol

cant afford to sac dmg for tank on this class either

[brittle merlin]

sadge low prefix

[fading snow]

Post build and I can take a look for easy fixes 🙂

[uncut zealot]

i just got enough gold to swap builds

so new project is beginning before swap to rogue

[steel ridge]

question. lets say I have a set prefix on an item. Can I slam that into a unique with LP and possibly get that set prefix on the unique?

[slender sedge]

lmfao

[uncut zealot]

ayeeee lol

[fading snow]

No

[steel ridge]

sadge. no fun allowed

[molten cobalt]

explain

[slender sedge]

if I were to reroll prob druid

[lament dust]

i cant trigger brand of deception, i use static orb but doesnt work, any idea?

[slender sedge]

how much does your orb cost

[uncut zealot]

hell no

[slender sedge]

did you put in enough points 😄

[slender sedge]

why not

cant be worse than sorc

[uncut zealot]

druid bad

looks so ugly

[slender sedge]

acolyte is edgy

every moron and their mother play sentinel

and rogue doesnt appeal to me

[brittle merlin]

idek if this is a good item but it could have been great......

[weary hamlet]

starting to feel the squish closing in on the last harb, I wonder if this is gonna help or I should stop derping around and get the heart already

[uncut zealot]

okay

this build slaps

but boy do i need more mana

[molten cobalt]

where did my character go

[weary hamlet]

4k stable ward just from ward per sec

[harsh abyss]

NGL, my 65% dodge has been feeling pretty good

[slender sedge]

finally got it

damn

[uncut zealot]

nice

[brittle merlin]

was turning out sick till the last 2

[fading snow]

twisted heart remains broken for any build that can use it 🤷‍♂️

that is a sexy body armor tho

[uncut zealot]

i ned break

off to level rogue lol

[molten cobalt]

what is this

[harsh abyss]

When you slay a harbinger it upgrades to a better version of the item

[tired hound]

can someone explain me why did i get 4k ward when i was lvl 40 and now that im in monoliths i cant get anymore ?

i swapped only 1 sword with ward on hit and i tried it again and still nothing?

[molten cobalt]

better how

[harsh abyss]

Depends on the item type, you could always look it up on lastepochtools

[molten cobalt]

will do, ty

[slender sedge]

wellp

finally got to empowered monoliths

[harsh abyss]

That's where things start to ramp up, for sure

[molten cobalt]

so is slapping a t7 on a LP item not random anymore?

i can pick freely?

[harsh abyss]

If you do T2 or above of the temporal sanctum, you can pick ONE affix to guarantee on your item

[slender sedge]

insane qol

[harsh abyss]

So for 1lp items, it's guaranteed

[molten cobalt]

nice

[harsh abyss]

Yeah, the QOL from that is insane. When you NEED +4 to a skill or something on your item, you can actually get it

[molten cobalt]

so this is guaranteed?

[harsh abyss]

Yep

[molten cobalt]

bloody hell

[brittle merlin]

Wait so youre saying you can put that movespeed on the exalted to the unique?

[molten cobalt]

how does it work with 2lp?

[molten cobalt]

yep

[brittle merlin]

and it just takes the lp slot?

wtfff

[molten cobalt]

yep

just slide it right in

[brittle merlin]

bro boutta be sonic

[molten cobalt]

no lube needed

[slender sedge]

this will be fun

[molten cobalt]

yeah i just got a weapon like that

oh crap

i fked up

[brittle merlin]

?

[molten cobalt]

i used up all forge potential trying to roll 30% movement speed, max roll

but the item still has 3 mod

did not know it has to be 4 mod item

and now it has 0 potential left

that was my only pair of t7 movement speed boots

rip

[slender sedge]

ouch

[molten cobalt]

sigh

[hushed sigil]

One of these days I'm going to be stubborn enough to once again get an LP2 Vaion's Chariot.

But that is not today.

[molten cobalt]

why cant you skip straight to julra boss

even with the skip to boss key

such bullshit

why is there even a slot for that key in the door then

[uncut zealot]

you cant?

[mystic sierra]

She's temporal sanctum right? I skipped to her during campaign skip earlier without issue using portal charm o.o

[uncut zealot]

wait yes you can

you definitely didnt click the portal then xD i ve done that 10000x

[molten cobalt]

i tried, twice

you cant

[uncut zealot]

you can

100%

[molten cobalt]

what portla

[uncut zealot]

it opens a portal when you enter the key

click the door, walk back 2 steps, put key and portal charm in

and you can actually SEE thep ortal

its a shit design

[molten cobalt]

oh

gotta try again then

that does sound like shit design ye

oh i see now

bruh

[uncut zealot]

zoom zoom

those aren ice

[molten cobalt]

i fked up the 30% ones

didnt have a spare t7

[brittle merlin]

oh decent cold drop

[uncut zealot]

t6 rip

[brittle merlin]

yea

[rain shuttle]

Can I make some money out of this 1 ?

[brittle merlin]

i just sorted all my loot filters, first time playing so i was never grabbing t6/6s

[steel ridge]

bullshit

[molten cobalt]

bulls eye lol

[slender sedge]

being 15 levels down with bad defences

in monolith

is rough

[molten cobalt]

15 aint so bad

[slender sedge]

xD

yeah about that

[tired umbra]

Is there any mage builds that can do 1k corruption? Im starting to scale off at 400corruption currently 120str stacker

Or is it time to rerool my 2nd class

[harsh abyss]

I don't think this is a level problem 😝

[next horizon]

any cool way to manage mana plz ?

im always oom xd

[slender sedge]

if I had 15 more points to allocate that would help XD

[harsh abyss]

You look like you need more defenses on your gear, either ward, health, or both

[brittle merlin]

Damn that first harbinger was a tanky boi

[uncut zealot]

sorc giivng up dmg to be tanky is a bad situation.. cuz they dont have enough dmg to give up lol so fights last longer and you die anyway

[slender sedge]

wdym bro got rolled

[chilly spoke]

Is there a spark storm weaver equivalent to mage in LE?

[brittle merlin]

wtf is up with this harbinger eye portal

[mystic sierra]

@harsh abyss Trip report so far on your prism nova build:
Currently I am 65 and have Gordian Prism, Crest of Unity, Tribolectra, Knowledge of an Erased Mage from your build on, and then other stuff like Advent of the Erased, Julra's Stardial, etc. I need to get some good rings/ammy to add Invoker set rolls to, and still need to get to 77 to toss on Unstable Core.

Things to note so far:

• Enchant Weapon feels kinda useless. It doesn't do enough to justify speccing into it. I dropped it and added Static Orb spec to work alongside Tribolectra..so far that feels infinitely more useful than Enchant Weapon. Speccing into Lightning Aegis, orbiting, and boosted damage vs shocked.
• Lightning Blast is an option instead of Static Orb for potential better single target (I used this while leveling until I got all the skill specs unlocked)
• I decided to try out Runebolt for mana instead of relying on Focus. I really hate Focus. I specced Runebolt in a way that I get a bunch of buffs + mana. This feels really good honestly. Basically I spam Ele Nova / Runic Invocation and if I run out of mana I just do a few casts of Runebolt and I'm back up and going again.
• Survivability is a bit sus, but I've been working on building up ward and resists to help. Nova makes you need to be a bit closer to the enemies, and especially with bosses that shit out things you gotta dodge it's noticeabley harder to deal with vs a ranged build. Runebolt does help here though as you can still shoot that from range while you're dodging bullshit. Your gear set up is very light on defensive stats, something to consider.

Overall where I'm at currently with my changes and gear it's starting to feel really fun. I'm currently able to handle the level 85 monos at 65.

Here's planner link for where I'm currently at (didn't include all my misc gear, just the core stuff):

thing is im supposed to stack mana, but big aids part is that none of my points support that? so I need ward from gear, ,but well,

[uncut zealot]

yeah idk lol

sorc is in a very weird spot wiht ward nerfs

and nothing to accomodate

i think going hp stack with exsang could be really best option

[slender sedge]

muscle wizard str stack

xD

[harsh abyss]

There's a very specific reason I chose Enchant weapon for the last spec. You autocast it so it's always on CD, which means RI can't choose it when it casts spells with Spell Cascade. The goal there was to make it so that the ONLY skill that Spell Cascade can choose on your bar is Ele Nova, guaranteeing 4 ele nova casts every time you use RI

It's not going to be super useful, for sure, but any other spell will get cast by spell cascade and the way I was building it was very focused on ele nova. So definintely not a necessity to build like that.

My plan was to stack mana regen so that I'd rarely need to use focus, if at all and it would be a quick use instead of something you need to use regularly

Since ele nova is costing us just like 2 mana per cast

[mystic sierra]

Ah fair I guess that makes sense. Static Orb with orbit feels pretty good so I'll prolly stick with that for now. I guess I don't notice the spell cascade stuff enough but an extra nova is prolly useful. And yeah my Ele Nova is 0 cost right now and it's mostly just RI using my mana, but I'm doing it often enough I still drain it all sometimes. I think RB/Focus are interchangeable depending on preference though. I just don't like Focus haha.

[harsh abyss]

Yeah, static orb is a really good skill

[mystic sierra]

It's def been a bit of whiplash coming from Void Knight to Mage regarding survivability though holy shit haha. Gonna have to really work on getting it locked down @_@

❌ Aberroth Kill down ❌

Spellblade 300 corrupt lvl 96

[harsh abyss]

Yeah, I haven't actually played the build yet, so I can't speak on how good it ended up being. It was all theorcraft. I've been gone all weekend but I'm going to try and push my Channeled LB build to Aberroth before I get distracted by alts.

I just got a 1lp crest of unty, so I'll be able to make a sick nova helmet whenever.

[proper hawk]

hows your LB starter going?

[uncut zealot]

monos are hard at level 25 😂

[harsh abyss]

1 harb down, only deaths I've had are to a couple Champion surprises and one of the boss echoes doing WAY more damage than I expected.

[mystic sierra]

Ooh nice. Mines 0LP, but I might just buy an extra off MG and imprint it, not sure yet

[proper hawk]

cenotaph?

[harsh abyss]

uhh, don't remember honestly. I had to actually pay attention to it's abilities to beat it 😝

Plus I was on my laptop, which really didn't help

[proper hawk]

weaver cemetary, ascendant firstborn boss, puts roaming dot puddles that instakill you?

[brittle merlin]

Man i just got to empowered monos and do i feel squishy all of a sudden lmao

[harsh abyss]

Not sure. But I can confidently say that 68% dodge chance while channeling makes you feel real tanky

[proper hawk]

oh wow, neat

[slender sedge]

the temptation to roll void knight grows by the minute

[brittle merlin]

this has some potential. I just managed to remove a prefix for free

lol

sad tier 1

[slender sedge]

turns out we have

zombies vs plants

I love this xD

overgrown graveyard echo

[harsh abyss]

Yeah, lots of little references

I saw on reddit that one of the champions names is clearly an ocarina of time refence

[midnight dune]

I was planningto change my spec later but i didnt realise it was gonna cost me half a million gold. Anyone got some good sorc builds? Theres only 1 on LEtools for 1.2 and wanna see if there are other options. Are there any really big changes that matter from 1.1.7 to 1.2?

[severe hatch]

lesgoooo

first time doing aberoth, with brand

damage was fine, took me 5 tries

[brittle merlin]

This gotta be decent right? 34 forge potential too

[unborn jetty]

Any suggestions for trying to make cold black hole work?

[mossy prism]

Slamming an exsang on vilantria int stacker - T7 int or T7 meteor?

[slender sedge]

what are your defences btw

so I know what to roughly aim for

[uncut zealot]

@slender sedge you good with filters?

[uncut zealot]

meteor

i wouldnt waste on a 1lp tho

id go t7 meteor t5 int probably

that extra skill pt is big

who here good with filters?

[fierce bronze]

I think they go either LP or legendary automatically

[mossy prism]

Ty, will keep hunting

[mossy prism]

I'd like to think I'm good with them

[slender sedge]

I mean I can set things up

real barrier is knowing what to show

[uncut zealot]

okay so this is what i want.. and its not quite possible

i want a havoc filter

i want to show items with:
one t7 mod
3 total mods
hide items with 4 mods

the best way according to probabilites, even though its not fool proof is this

[slender sedge]

that will have to be two setups

[uncut zealot]

that should be 11 not 12

[slender sedge]

lemme boot up the game rq

[uncut zealot]

statistically, itmes are more liekly to drop with 3 mods if total tiers are 11 or less

[mossy prism]

dont hide 4 imo, removal or despair them

[uncut zealot]

that is a good idea in thought

[mossy prism]

virtually free and gives more bases to try and find what you want

[uncut zealot]

but then you have to show EVERY t7

and i dont want that

this will give me a lot of items as it is without screen clutter

and filling up the stash

its not fool proof by any means, but this will put me in the best situation to get them passively

[mossy prism]

Ah, I dont even stash, I just try the crafts and vendor the fails ASAP

[slender sedge]

you need two setups

one to hide all exalts with 4 rolls

[uncut zealot]

that isnt possible

lol

[slender sedge]

and one , above it in prio

that shows what you need only

let me cook

[uncut zealot]

you cant hide o4 rolls

its not an option

[mossy prism]

sure you can

[uncut zealot]

by affix tier only

[mossy prism]

select every affix and at least 4

[uncut zealot]

oh

...

you smart

so.......

[slender sedge]

you can

[uncut zealot]

show item with one t7 mod
show item with 3 total mods

hide items with 4 total mods

with show item higher prio

that is good idea.. tyty

[mossy prism]

hide has to be higher

[slender sedge]

you put 4 of these

[mossy prism]

show all 3+ will override hide all 4 if above

[slender sedge]

and one of them will be less than t1

[mossy prism]

DONT select personal affixes btw, those always drop sealed so wont affect your odds

[uncut zealot]

yes this is good idea

that is the play then

okay there

lets ee if that works

[mossy prism]

why only 475? If these are your top filters, include everything but experimented in the hide

[uncut zealot]

this is everything besides personal and set
