ahh idols are what were throwing me
@uncut zealot this is how I fish for crafting bases lol
I just put in whatever im hunting for
do you use a shatter filter?
yea
thing is
im torn on how to build now
I need defences
and I got enough dmg... for now
but building ward is so ass I feel
this is what i use
you have to ACTUALYL invest in it
where as before, it was op jsut being there
why do you think I want vulkaur base lmao
i might amke this shatter filter 2 affixes
comes with ton of ward
this is mine
I also filtered out mage specific for shit I dont run
like meteor level
and surge
are you doing an evade build with the helmet?
didnt find any in youtube, with wand or helmet
Nah, but every skill I have is lightning, so +3 to lightning skills is like 60% more damage to my main dps skill
hwo to hide all sets lol
cant just hide set affix and hiding rarity isnt an option for sets
tf are legendaries
ahhh
fair enough
damn we cant sort affixes by prefix-suffix
what do I add to my relic to tank up
more health?
time to hunt for health relics lol
gotta upgrade with something good
if I guarantee health and some goodies on the side that would be neat
time to rig the game a little
dude the mana nerfs to frost claw --- is ANYONE playing "A Crack in the Ice" ? I don't see how XD
can get it down to like 7.3 per cast
damn no matter how many times I run it
I love temporal sanctum
and the back and forth you do
haha
Is abyone playing spellblade and doing like 200 corruption with ease here? Need some tips
anyone got a sample spellblade surge I could take a look at before I decide on if I am making another beastmaster or sentinel to go melee crit with?
Looking at playing a mage. What build should I do? I’ve only ever played rogue. Do I do spellblade or runemaster?
man screw those weaver possessed mobs
i'm at 360 corrupt with this
lmfao
How is clearing monoliths with the build?
very good
lmao
we knew shatter was gonna be theb build
i wonder if flame reave has a chance at being good
flame reave rune master.. getting huge lightning converted flame reaves to spread the brand
o.o
crazy lol
but yeah if anyone has played surge as melee crit was considering that over shatter strike, if surge is capable I may give that a go for doing some corruption, otherwise might just default to beastmaster.
shit like this
is why we need balance
because why the fk should I even try to level my runemage now
when I know someone pulls up
and slams their head into the controls
and does 20x my dps
no offense to you btw this is design failure, not yours
or a lack of design on other skills
lmaooo
to be fair, mage just sucks. every other class can do that im sur elol
shatter striek is just the one thing mage has going for it r
rn
all class is good but need gear lel
all build too just u want play meta or take fun with try ur build
rune master aint good lol
well I cant talk about it since I have not played it yet
there is no fun in underperforming after putting a lot of thought and effort into something
its a numbers game, you either win it or lose it
and mage is on the losing side rn
ill prob play some bg3 and see if they make mage endgame less painful
you know they dont do mid season balancing ya?
so this is basically season of the paladin
and everyone else can fk off
and rogue
and druid
and acolye
seems to be doing very well
it literally is the 'not runemaster league'
druid won the uberroth race
rogue is bonkers
maaan id love to try acolyte but every time I play minions its so boring
nah bro I dont play S tier shit
call it bein hipster if you must
but I enjoy when game has some semblance of difficulty
well hate to break it to ya, but cant expect to do what other shit is doing haha
cant opt into playing the worst class ever and be mad others doing more dmg
Trying to make shatter strike with lots of procs+frostbite with the new essence weaver, seems to maybe be trying to do too much though
ngl I made the runemaster without talking to anyone here its not like I knowingly went into this
I mean I had my fun with it
maybe ill try druid
Lol the Cenotaph of Worlds might be a bit overtuned
Why is that?
is that the one with firstborn?
Yeah, with the insta-death things
It's just SO much damage and they stun you and kill you before the stun wears off
yeah lol
I was doing ignite frostclaw, slaps
Can anyone point me to resources on runemaster hydrahedron build that isn't maxroll?
Build guide just seems a little simplistic and would like to see variations
Anyone got a build guide or variation on lightning related skill that they can point me to
Does this game step up in difficulty much? Just hit monoliths and everything just melts
how do you solve mana issues on flame reave spellblade. my damage is great, my survivability is fine my mana is trash.
Once you get to empowered monos things start to get more difficult
And it gets as difficult as you make it. If you spend ages progressing its always easy. But if you rush higher corruption it can get tough
weave mana strike in, and get flame reave down to a reasonable cost via the mana efficiency node
this is the next build on my list and I might be rolling it soon, but why do you want to use them procs via shatter strike instead of mana strike? Don't you have mana issues with it?
its a decent step up with empowered and later with corruption. For instance I'm a veteran player and this patch's new mechanics were a surprise even just at 100, champions and even some of the new basic mob affixes were challenging (for my bad build ofc.. but we are on mage after all)
Working that out still, the original goal was just putting out as many melee actions as possible since only 1/3 essence weaver procs will be the empowered frost claw. The triple shatter strike goes with that.
Then it made me consider that ailment is probably the way to go with so many application sources.
Hi guys. Just wondered what sites are the better ones to be looking at for builds? I am just looking for rough ideas while building my mage alt, probably want to make a Cold based one
IT IS COMING CHAT
I literally couldnt get this in three weeks last patch
maxroll, le tools, youtube
^
yea I considered that, but most of those procs are 1 hit per proc, and they won't have much in the way of more modifiers either. TBH doesn't seem all that good
That does seem to be the case. I haven’t done much spellblade, wanted something different and the new item sounded fun 🤷♂️
@ivory atlas how its your survival with the build?
Spellblade needs something for the moments between packs. Not hitting stuff is huge loss in ward gen. I know you’re asking him but that’s my limited experience so far otherwise not terrible survivability
yeah i stack as much hp as i can because ward isnt enough
prob want to get melee leech as a sealed affix too
actually at 450 is good but i need lp2/3 for good tanking
MY baby
yeah kestrel 3lp with t7 health is a big boost in survival
damn nice siphon, make sure to slam a very good ring
? or wait a 3lp?
3lp is fairly easy, 1 in 24
Can I someone manage to make Barrage aim ? not just fire in one direction
i would pick t7 health instead of shatter strike
the build have enough dps
remember to use turtle+nemesis tower echo to get easy 3lp kestrel
you can reroll the inteligence for dex
and shatter +4 on lp3?
rune of creation
Dex = dmg / int= ward ret for tanking
i dont find ward ret so much value
the more you push the less ward keeps up
you can get runes of creation if you are cof
yes you are
get rune of creation from prophecies
oof 7k hit from the archer champion with his spammable
static orb but it was nerfed, also meteor chews through your mana rapidly
you can also stack mana for lightning disintegrate (lol)
and since it will cost 0 mana you can use your mana pool to tank with high amounts of damage dealt to mana
Hey guys, trying to homebrew a build but between me having to lvl up the skills and my build being suboptimal (still going through the campaign)
It's becoming a real struggle fest, and the campaign isn't really supposed to be that hard.
I was actually planning to try lightning disintegrate, but as mentioned. I'm massively struggling through the campaign atm.
Doesn't make the build feel nice.
Any tips for sorcerer builds in general or specific?
I leveled in fire disintegrate last patch and it was a breeze, link your build - maybe you are doing something wrong
although lightning disintegrate is a lot worse at low max mana so I wouldnt do that
only 240 mana atm, so yeah. That explains that.
in general most damage skills are viable to level with - as long as you have a solid grasp of fundamentals of itemization and skill scaling
for reference I wouldn't consdier swapping to lightning with less than 2-2,5k mana
otherwise fire is just strictly better
That's a good baseline tip. Should swap off lightning until my stats matchup.
would this be usable for meteor
looks pretty janky to me
Heya all, I'm trying to homebrew a sorcerer build using lightning blast to trigger lightning meteor on crit (with the unique belt), but my mana goes from 500 to 0 in seconds... Any tip to solve mana issue? Still leveling
Just stack moar mana?
you dont solve mana issues on sorc, you just suffer
I've not been following meteor belt builds closely but I think the only reasonable way is if you trigger it via spamming mana strike
155 levels across two mage characters: zero box of hydrae
Not one, not even a 0lp box
I am disgusted
Mana strike harbinger got nerfed hard, all the +meteor became "on direct cast"
you can still spec into shrapnel to have it chain off itself
You can, it's much, much lower damage
Honestly one of the most unjustified nerfs this patch
yea probably, as I said I was never much of a belt enjoyer
I was going to league start it until patch notes
I much prefer off-meta nonsense, but that was overkilled
I did Disintegrate on one char and Hydrahedron on the other instead
How is runemaster doin this season
Same as the rest of mage, mediocre to good depending on build
Right, prophecies popped, if one of these isnt' box I cry
👏
0lp is better than no box
PLS DROP me the armor lp4
Is static orb meteor still playable
its 1 in 274 so good luck!
@ivory atlas are you doing exacly as the guide?
im following it and it performs very well
the only thing i recommend is using a normal chest/titan heart untill you have a 2lp/3lp kestrel with t7 health and 2 to shatter
relic is insane
Yeah i think soo too
I have low dps when i unequip it
But seing guy above absolutely blast without it
Is my question for ot
It*
swords you ideally want to use 2 but since its a weaver will item it can take a while to get a decent one
you can use crystals swords untill you get them
nice
This is one
And 2nd one is woth attack speed
And idk what else
Dont have a pic of it
farming the weapon is annoying, get a decent amonut of WW and hit the roulette
i got one with 21 but trash rolls so
this is my best one
I really don’t understand the mage meteor belt nerf
Did they seriously see how strong sentinel and rogue are rn and were like yeah meteor has to go
Ohhhhh. I see why folks wanted to go Meteor now with the new set.
Ik they don’t do mid balance patches but does that include buffs too? Is it just going to be 3 months of shatterstrike or go home while sentinel has like 10 really good builds
Probably
Man I’m having so much fun with shatter strike spell blade. Proc’ing so much
You can always play another class if you truely feel like Mage has nothing going on.
any suggestions for weaver tree?
u mean the cheater?
When I search for Elemental in the guide I find nothing. Does Elemental Damange affect cold dmg?
Join the club. I'm slightly regretting deciding on mage for this season
Seems unnecessarily weak compared to the new stuff. I should have known, EHG have a history of making new stuff batshit strong
are we still the best class in 1.2
Hi! Is spellblade just shatter strike or fire nova again?
So anyone find an OP mage build yet or is it not seeming great this season
According to maxroll the worse.
By a good deal
where does maxroll state this
sb had seen no major changes for years, its still the same four builds just because there arent more melee skills on mage
Just shatter strike basically
Play a game of "find the mage masteries"
You get Shatter SPB which scores high on tier lists and unbelievably low on fun, then Hydrahedron RM which I've tested and... Yeah it's good against bosses, and way too many buttons for way too little payoff everywhere else
Average discord user
Writes off whole site of highly experienced players who had test realm access to theorycraft and test because "it doesn't have one build that started a few days ago and has already been shown to have good clear but bad single target"
Did I hit a nerve
maxroll is gucci for blizzard games, but for LE it was trash in 1.1 aswell
Looks like I did
Everyone uses the lighting runemaster build? That seems the coolest imo
Well their list is actually pretty accurate so far for Uber Abberoth kills so far
Brand dps does not seem enough for thet
Did fire nova receive dmg changes? Single target was horrendous
Which lightning skill?
you mean flame reave? it got a bit buffed over time including a 25% buff right in this patch, but its still pretty meh
although I think that I saw videos of it killing aby in under a minute which is by no means a terrible build, not anywhere near the top of course
My builds dead. 😦
I dont think I can do 100 Corruption with it right now.
What is it
Ignite Fireball
Oh yeah good luck hah
Yeah with the unique that makes it two instances of damage instead of one.
Flame reave is still a bit shit even with that
Yeah it was back then
Spellblade got nerfed a few patches back
Couldn't kill a boss in under a minute
Also I was playing trap and dive bomb as my 2 main builds so everything looked terrible in comparison back then I guess
Seems like heartseeker + paladin anything are those two builds this patch
Everything looks bleak in comparison
Uh am I still sleeping? What unique makes it do two instances of damage?
are we talking about the same skill here?
If it's flame reave it's a node in the skill tree that makes it return, not a unique
yea that one I know
The node decreases the damage as well, it's hilariously underpowered
It makes it return and there was a ring that boosted it iirc
its not underpowered though, it adds about 20% more damage for one point
I need to learn an EHG lesson that new stuff = good, old stuff = not good
maybe up to 35% more depending on your positioning relative to the boss
that just sb in general
and flame reave in particular
like you can get it to how much flat with jasper's and stacks, 500?
Sucks, I'd really like to try a firebrand/reave/surge again
still sucks with that omegarip
I'm finally done with the harbs on my focal blast build and I need a break from it
was a slog
might roll an sb alt today to try a few things
will also check whether clotho's is better than jasper's for the build but I expect that it isnt
but I already have a good needle
I think I fixed my build, so thats nice.
part of why pally is just OP at the moment is they baked a LOT of defensiveness and healing into the kit
It's the insane damage numbers lmao
yeah that's just the other part lol
Plasma orb is like "look at my 20k brand ticks at 300c" and Paladin is showing 230k smite x3 per proc at 500c
lol yeah it's gross.
I wanted a smooth experience this time around rather than struggle w/ Spellblade, if i am honest
I prefer non-meta stuff, but it's getting harder to do that
always had been, if you look at current consecrated ground builds for example they aren't categorically different from before, it was already fairly OP in 1.1, you could face tank everything in 1k corr
which I mean for the state of 1.1 sent was very good
because as the game develops, it will get harder and require better skill/passive synergies
and there is a lack of that in various specs, spellblade being a great example
more meant it's the defensiveness + offensiveness all at the same time
there's very little drawback
also, coupled w/ constant ward nerfs, classes that rely on ward or have easier times scaling ward are just overly punished
yea they just buffed its numbers through the roof
When making builds in this game is it good to choose either dot or crit and build around that offensively?
also I remember people on reddit crying about the change to how was that node called again, which now has 3% flat crit on threshold
yea imagine getting that for free and whining about it
generally, yes. you select one or the other and build that
btw I dont remember who it was who asked yesterday for my focal blast build and discord search is turbo ass, so heres my current planner anyways
:white_check_mark: This character build is verified
Tombs of the Erased / 1.2
Mage (25) / Sorcerer (57) / Spellblade (5) / Runemaster (22)
▸ Health: 2,064, Regen: 21.44/s
▸ Mana: 252.49, Regen: 8.8/s
▸ Ward Retention: 369%, Regen: 280/s
▸ Attributes: 26 Str / 11 Dex / 147 Int / 11 Att / 11 Vit
▸ Resistances: 108% / 70% / 103% / 92% / 75% / 134% / 81%
▸ Endurance: 38%, Threshold: 473
▸ Dodge Chance: 4% (95)
▸ Armor Mitigation: 24% (957)
▸ Crit Avoidance: 21%
Ahh fck it, gonna go do some Paladin things, meta all the wayyyyy
I have some fantastic idols for Spellblade as well
I already tried paladin with a meme build and meme paladin was a lot stronger than meme mage in case you were wondering
Yeah I'm gonna do off-meta pala
my eyes bled from all the particle spam though so I dropped it for now
I get too bored copying a build guide
But I get frustrated at being unable to clear harbs/aberoth with off-meta, it's a conundrum 😂
I urged EHG and GGG both to NOT just re-work/launch 1 class or spec per season
else, we end up with the exact scenario both games are in
Yeah, I agree on that
my feedback is somewhere but i submitted it to both studios through whatever normal channels they have
Acolyte next patch, hopefully Harvest gets buffed and I can do an actual melee LIch
For building defense would you choose one thing like ward dodge health or split between them
depends on the class/spec
ironically with the above build harbs were very easy but monos can turn into random suffering with my weaver tree
at least in poe they have real stats which show that over 70% players are all on one exact FOTM build
you generally get all of them
but the API exists if that's what you mean
the API exists for LE too, and it is housed inside LETools
I'm having fun
wonder how well Fire Orb can clear stuff if I make the shrapnels hit hard enough
oh ya. this game is layers of having fun depending on the difficulty
its pretty okay
hey I heard you can rn btw
like the coverage is 5/10 but the damage is pretty good
it's not as strong as sentinel anything but it's decent
Actual melee lich instead of lich with stuff on the side is another build I chased on launch... did not go well
my black hole is converted to fire and deals 65k damage with 90% fire pen, but when I take binary system it starts dealing 130k with 0 cold pen, isn't the number supposed to be lower since 50% of fire damage is converted to cold and I have no cold pen as opposed to fire pen? it seems somewhat broken if I don't miss anything
how is spellblade? new to the game and just got to monoliths with runemage, clear speed is great atm but i keep getting all these crazy spellblade weapons dropping and want to try em out. do you need to fully change how you gear overall beside weapons?
sb is decent but not at the top of the meta, which means that for your average arpg player it might as well not exist
I would guess you'd probably need to change gear a bit to focus more on melee instead of spell damage going from runemaster to spellblade?
when it comes to gear it's more on a build per build basis rather than class basis
I searched this server and it seems that all this node does is just doubles the damage, no actual conversion, well, this makes things easier then
did i cook?
Elemental nova build anyone?
trying to do something with it
best i came up with sofar is manastrike and sorceress? maybe eye of Orexia??? and stack mana and spell damage ?
cant find shit on void dmg for passive tree tho
People try to make that thing work for years now but it just doesnt really work
maybe
but my hs marksman is getting boring
and non of the guides i found look interesting
I prefer to craft my own builds too. And lament broke me more than once in the last years when I tried to do something with it 
but the loosing the elemental tag is kinda tough
play the runemaster fire aura build with shroud of cinders
stack fire aura over 9000 and use void volcanic orb as finisher
lol
with that one chest piece?
is it somewhat rf build then?
also how to scale it
it has only aoe tag
no you spam glyph to get the aura stacks
its anti-rf
starcraft level apm
or just hold the mouse button I guess
it's just gonna suck with that spear, no two ways around it
I'm playing a lightning blast/volc orb build this season and it's definitely starting to fall off towards end-game.
Granted it's not the most cohesive and I have very little idea on how to spec/gear for it, lol
cold converted both?
Only orb, kept LB as lightning
Hello, i have a problem, i play an runemaster, and suddely i can only gain 1 rune Max, anyone has an idea what i did wrong maybe ?
that's your first problem
check your idols
Nostalgia gaming... Replicating my old charges bolt/forb sorc from d2
thanks that was it
using two elements is just pointlessly spreading your point/item budget thin
then the whole VO/LB build kinda makes sense if you spec orb for single target damage and LB for clear
The nodes to convert both in passive tree seemed lackluster
Compared to the benefits from their own skill tree conversions
a question is the build mage spark charge still good in season 2?
what the build is that is still from 1.1patch.
its just 1 point, one passive point is very cheap
nearly all of those builds were deleted by the change to arcane current
you can still kinda play it with static orb but it's not even remotely close to the OP shit that you could pull off before
as SO is like 5-10 hits per cast at best and at a significant mana cost
you can also still play some of the older builds that used LB or mana strike to apply spark charges as Enigma is still a thing, but then again, those are nowhere close to 1.1 era builds
Is there a build that does chain lightning
chain LB isnt that terrible for clear, but it runs into one small problem. If you are using it for clear, it does zero damage to single targets, so what's your solution for that?
you can try idk something like LLL invo on RM
but that's a little close to scraping the bottom of the barrel
man I really wish we had some way to get Firebrand to get 10 mana cost rn
and not through Pyre
if you run RM theres no world where you use LB to clear
Lightning+Cold incvocation chain clears
Cold + Lightning is aoe nuke
LLL invo is more to end bosses and stationary things
Channeled LB works well for clear, with Halo Effect, so far
I mean yes but clear is the only reason why you would possibly ever use LB in chain configuration
no no you are thinking backwards, that's not the goal
the goal is to use chain LB
of course the number one solution is not to use chain LB
but we arent discussing that
but why would you shoot someone with a nerf gun
when the class offers ak47
I understand the goal
im questioning the goal
the guy asked about a chain lightning build, that's what I suggested
of course it's a meme
black hole is so bugged, but in a good way, I just got x43 more multiplier on bh tree, it melts single target, but what can I use for clear? things I scale are fire damage and dot, disintegrate does low damage and is clunky even with maxed intensify and resurgence, don't know if sorc got any other fire dot spell
x43 more in black hole? Do continue
but even a very optimistic quick math doesnt give me more than x24
even less than that with a reasonable amount of points
here's my tree, black hole is bugged currently, binary system's cold star does no damage, but it's more multiplier applies to fire star, I then take singularity and bh summons only fire star and more multiplier is applied to that fire star
binary star is just a 100% more modifier, it only changes the visual of the skill, always had
but come on 1/5 in the ignite node? that aint an ignite hole build
I'm doing non-ignite bh
but it doesn't convert 50% fire to cold as it says and when I take singularity it changes skill model to just one fire star
yea that's how it always worked
if a bug is not fixed after 6 years, that's more of a feature
disintegrate should be doing fairly reasonable damage but it requires complete build around and I don't know if it's gonna do anything as a side skill for clear in a BH build
they even buffed this skill in this patch and didn't even test it or changed text
I'll still test the buffed glass cannon later in this patch
got a few other builds to run first
multipliers on current tree are 1.15, 1.3, 1.3, 1.45, 1.9, 2, 2, 2
are there other options? I really do want to play a bh build where it does a lot of damage
yea yea I was thinking of ignite black hole
you get a bit more with this setup
probably not without going ignite via some skill
maybe ele dot scaling will be enough for that to be viable for clear i.e. fire frost claw
then you can supplement that with black hole for rares/bosses
I stacked cdr to bring bh to 3.2 seconds cd with x20, but even on 3.2 cd it felt slow on clear
will it work with no cast speed? I don't have any, but I think I can sacrifice some passives, those are not very good for bh anyway
I mean, it will work. But poorly

is this sort of meteor coc manastacker build still viable in current patch?

Would elemental nova proc all 3 runes for elemental invocation since it does all elementals?
it will give you one per cast randomly
And the runes don't stack right? So by 3 cast, I'd have all 3 runes
Perfect , might level an alt to play it that way I don't have to reset my whole current build
This build guide has attunement on a mage helm. Is there a method of getting that on there or is it a mistake?
you can swap it from int via one of the new echoes, forgot its exact name
something watch
I'll keep an eye out, thank you!
Is any mage build able to clear uber yet?
Could anyone help me improve this loot filter for my spellblade? I'm trying to convert flame reave into lightning
brother mages, what happens when i go over 100% pierce chance with homing fireball, does it wrap back around a third time
which weaver echo will reset all echo nodes and make them go from completed to uncompleted, so you can get the reward again?
within a radius
nah each ball still cant hit the same target more than once
it does weird shit but it wont do damage twice
unelss they broke it recently which is unlikely
yea ofc
Any spicy runemaster builds this season?
well thats a bummer back to the build drawing board then
is there some mana regen tech or just get it on all the gear
anyone got tips on how to survive when this dude starts doing the void ball whirlwind attack?
which he does like instantly
get away
it covers the entire room and due to obsticles you cant walk it round
you cant get away
and due to those benches there you cant walk the mechanic
snao freeze him
that works?
it interrupts shit
you sure it freezes nemesis?
i shall try
it actually did
thanks for the tip
he did another one right after though lol
so i died anyway due to snap freeze on cooldown
So whats another fun mage build thats NOT fireball lol
move into the center of its model
fireball in blue?
i seem to get hit anyway?
blueball
blue balls
I killed him dozens of times, move closer to the center
it totally works
been told a few times by now its shit but iama do it anyway
maybe ill try a voidmage yee
the lack of same target hit with ember is bumming me out
spoiler mage itself does very little for void
does anyone know how to setup drinking potion when below certain health threshhold
press the button?
its like
you read what I typed
and completely disregarded it
and then chose to answer
i only know about rouge having the abilty to semi auto use flaks
if you want scripts
the official discord might be the wrong adress
no way to do that in-game
so this is a flat out lie then?
no its your reading capabilites
that says it just allows you to use them
because under normal conditions you probably cant use flasks
this is for auto-consume pots from the ground when you are missing any health
useful for low life builds
or that
I know about it autousing if you are missing hp and got a full belt
but the phrasing on this is so bad that it implies much more
not really, no
we wont agree on this
things need to be specific for specific use cases
this is NOT specified
ask any TCG player
they will take my side lol
ask poe players
I agree with you, Varienn. I hadn’t seen that text before
And it does imply it can be automated
You’re good lol
it can just not by you
nowwhere does it say "you" can automate it
they "can" be used
not you use them
Brother, it says they can be automated. It doesn’t specify the conditions
Our assumption isn’t wrong
where does it say "you"
maybe you can infer what it means
as someone with poe experience
but if an average person reads this
Just let it go Verien
but where is the "you " part
they dont need to imply its you because you are the one reading it
😊
yeah im dropping this convo
@slender sedge yo... frozen is rippin thru 350 corruption on the mage
nice
good for ihm
whoever that is
hello does brand of deception scale off of dmg over time?? or only elemental dmg over time?
both
ty ty
which one
@uncut zealot also behold my latest ethical stick
had to change runebolt to lightning
and use mana generation node
so I can keep spamming ball lightnings
but the damage
mannn
so good
o.o.o
im unironically considering avarice for elemental leech
is that tirple L?
ouch
ah
is CL the one that shoots the lightning bolts in all directions
can you come discord
I can show you
its the aoe expanding lightning wave
you are talking about fire lightning
650 corruptions With Spell blade !
Mage is godly with mid stuff, i'm soon Full lp3+ good stats

Pc crashed lol
xD
f
but youve seen what I wanted to show you
basically that shockwave kills anything but big mobs
as I run thru
champion eats ball lightning
pack eats the bouncing bolt
yeah thats nice
i dont like the invoker stytle at all cuz its too much to go wrong lol
but i like the build
yup lol
cant beat it
i only have 65% void res though
but doubt making it 75 would solve the issue
i shall make it 75 and try
this bad boy
just need to move exalted off stun avoidance
Will I run into damage problems later if I am trying to scale both fire aura and flame reave
Am at corrupt 125 rn and still slap but idk.
dont waste ur time scaling fire aura
im really tempted to slam this t6 movement speed into this blood of the exile
know im supposed to do Int. but damn. The zoomies are tempted
*tempting
why storm shoes
yeah i cant kill firstborn
the spider web floor shit can spawn right under you with zero warning
crazy shock chance
instant KO and impossible to avoid
wait it doesnt?
nope
wtf why
well
idols are "on hit"
but that counts
that adds global shock chance to sheet
so has there been there any changes to Frost Claw-related unique dagger (Dragorath's Claw) or something else related to Sorcerer Storm Claw build performance? I remember hearing someone mentioning it but cant find anything related to it in patch notes
Hey guys im new to the game, are all of the mage builds on maxroll usually the place to go for a guide? I really like the sound of this static orb endgame but everything i look up is out of date by months and im unsure if they have been changed.
https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/planner/qtch07hi
Or better question, will that build still function please
arcane current was changed and no longer works with frost claw
maxroll is meh but there is no real alternative for a centralized resource
Yea i do hear quite a bit of backlash on some of their guides but mage seems underplayed so it's quite hard to find a build to try
thats why i linked that static orb /glacier but it's from last season so im unsure
but i mean the glacier sorc guide on maxroll sounds super cool and the video looks fun but even that vid linked to the s2 guide is like 9 moinths old lol
if its linked o the s2, it means it has been updated to fit s2
yea cool guess ill try give that build a go then cheers
its the FOTM effect more than anything, the extremely small minority of high profile youtubers/guide makers are jumping ship to the next hotness/next OP class, even though for any normal player the class is still perfectly playable
yea fair enough
just sucks that there isnt really a lot of s2 content out for mage thats all
also yeah for instance there is the endemic SB issue of no build variety, had been present more or less since day 1 of the class
not addressed in a meaningful way in 4 years
ah well
hopefully this glacier sorc build slaps and i can be happy either way
looks super fun on the 1.1 vid thats linked so heres hoping it got better
Did lastepochtools import function stop working with legacy characters?
Is frostclaw nova still relevant or did it fall off hard after it came out?
If I can get my channeling LB build to regular aberroth I'll toss something up.
If only to prove that its possible
Is there any nova builds out there rn? Or is frostclaw still about the only way for it to be good right now?
I have a nova build planned but I'm trying to not get distracted from my first build
im trying to farm the pieces to amke mage playable lol
there semes to be so much random dmg coming out this szn
bingo
nice!
nice
Anyone playing ignite frost claw? Feels really good only at around 150 corruption rn wondering if it can handle the later corruptions
frost claw is good.. ONLY if you can figure out the mana cost
if you ucan, its good
im only at 100's for corruption but i was always under the impression that ignite was never as good as frost or shock
simple cause of the survivabilit that is inate with lightning and frost
*simply
I need me one of these damn
btw I already punched out the harbingers on my focal blast build, aby is next
who would win, my 2k health and 6,5k ward or a rat that randomly throws 10k nukes?
lmao
DRAAL NYMPH SAYS NO
at least that build is ranged, but I'm not looking towards seeing these on my sb
Draal queen is cancer even with ranged builds, melee is going to suck hard
I've given up on mage temporarily and rolled a paladin
The power level difference is evident from very early on
Took the arbor + sanctum skips into early monoliths, straight to l90s at l47
I got to her once, got my shit promptly pushed back in, never visited again 🙂
I died a lot
I think I'll get back to her in a normal mono
for my point
it will be fall of outcasts
I eventually killed her with coward tactics: hydrahedron and run around for 5s, rinse and repeat for 5 minutes
Hydrahedron is so bad on that fight, so many adds = hydra doesn't fire at the queen much
Really highlights how bad that build is for single target damage
my turbo meme divine bolt paladin performs about as well as my mage build, with 5% the gear
😄
and if I stopped derping around and just swapped multistrike to smite I could instantly boost its performance by a factor of 10 at least
I think I'm on my 4th harby, I just havent had much time to play
Yeah that makes sense my damage feels really great and I’ve just been stacking life and endurance but I feel like that will start to fall off
that node is just so extremely dumb that I can't imagine that anybody ever bothered to play with it at all
yeah let me spam 5 smites into a single target 3 times a second
what could go wrong?
I'm doing skybeam because it looks cool
Against bosses I’m very Tanky though with the ring from soul fire bastion that gives ward feels very good
I tried that in 1.0 and not gonna lie it sucked hard
these days it might be more playable with the general power creep
its also worth nothing that with channeled HH you have both hit and dot damage with the beam
why? nobody knows
That's what I'm doing now
The 'hit' part (fck knows how this works) triggers Orian's Descent, which triggers smite
Smite makes up for otherwise poor single target
any suggestions on the 4 points i can spend?
Ive fixed my build... Now I just need to fix my gear. 🥲
I dont know how far it'll take me, but, its at least letting me clear 100 Corruption.
What did you change
it should only proc it once per button press though, when you start the channel
Nope, continuously procs
The 'searing light' node says "hit"
It's either bugged or weird
bottom right, more loot lizards
are they truly worth it?
been eyeing those
its what im running
other option is "orobyss can ambush you randomly"
that seems like fun once I gear up XD
I still wanted to go Ignite so I reworked some talent points to be more defensive, and was looking at other ignite applications.
yalls weaver tree maxed?
no
nah, gated by standing
Tried out blackhole and a few other options. Ended up on Fire Claws.
im gated by that firstborn biatch
wait okay let me check that later but if it does proc with every hit, aka 4x a second, that might make that build actually functional
special firstborn map
Should work better now with ignite triggers
And it's not 4x per second, but 6x/10s
Which is better than nothing
Yeah I'm easily hitting close to 600~ Stacks of Ignite now.
also yeah the smite belt
The main problem now is my gear I think.
im only at like 27 lol
What's your health/armor/critavoid?
Im a bit squishy still, and I'm not 100% sure how to scale higher now.
Yup.
1348 atm.
Yikes
You need to farm some gear in normals I think
Im clearing stuff in 100c atm no issues. I just need to play safe.
That's good then, play it slow and get your health/physres/armor up
Then crit resists from monoliths
BRO F THESE TELEPORTING CHAMPIONS FOR 3 SCREENS AWY
TO ONE SHOT YOU
this some poe type stuff now.. cmon
bro teleported and smacked mef or 6k
fk off
Valid. Main plan is to slowly drop my Uniques.
Probably still keeping Firestarters torch tho.
lol let me give you one better, today I was oneshot by a necrotic golem that teleported right on top of me and instantly unloaded the orbs point blank
at 2k damage per orb
@weary hamlet How do I spec smite for healing hands
Torn between ignite + more dmg, or heal/cleanse/blind
stupid
"I'M ALMOST POSITIVE THAT THERE HAVE NOT BEEN ANY DUPES OR GOLD EXPLOITS SINCE THE LAST LADDER/MARKET RESET" - EHG _MIKE
Does +spell damage scale black hole DoT?
all the more damage
yes
lmfao
im playing glacier sorc, but the damage is terrible compared to spellblade, basicly bricking my character after the switch lol. how do you even deal with the insane mana cost?
in the maxroll guide there is no mana regen mentioned?
I think changing it into two hitter cuts the cost a lot
So pretty new to Last Epoch, so this is super early stages but ive been collecting gear to make a Runic Invocation/Elemental Nova(fire focused) build. I was wondering how this gear selection is looking for the idea I had in mind and if theres better alternatives https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/BEl3VvgQ

alright guys but hear me out, unironically, Orian's Descent for proc sb?
- has procs
- 25 int
con: high lpl
somewhat* high lpl that is
but probably no 3-4 lp for me
I used it for a time, i don't remember if it was proccing the brand
the huge part definitelyh is the 25 int if you're int stacking
I'm a mage, of course im int stacking
I'm on essence reaver spellblade
no brand
oh my bad then, thought that was the sb.
25 int on a belt sure is huge in any case.
Is this any good for a Mage build? What should I try to put on this?
lets gooo
tf
...
'is this super rare 4lp any good?'
LMAO
"is this any good"
this fkin guy
no mate, vendor trash
Runemaster's - Is this good for anything? It seems like it would be good...but I don't play RM.
I've never played a mage, and this is my first time doing monos
I'm sorry, I genuinely don't know
Hot tip, the triple stats affects the affixes you slam onto it
its stupidly op
Oh shit, really?
damn i wish my prefixes rolled that good
That's crazy
Yes really, it's insane
Uhh, what stats should I go for, then?
That is an absolutely batshit insane find
lmao
It may be time to try out mage for the first time, I guess lol
Depends on build
Mage is a bit shit at the moment, so pick the best of a bad bunch I guess
spellblade aint bad
The only mage build I was thinking was a spellblade using that one two handed Unique that stacks up fire damage on hit
your luck is coooooooked
Jasper's Searing Pride
Is that any good?
I wanted to go on-hit attack speed sorta stuff
No
Shit
jaspers is okay in flame reave and flame reave was buffed (a little) this patch
go a spell build or youre kinda trolling
my eyes
great filter you have xd
not me collecting gear to play fire elemental nova with runic invocations (i love trolling myself )
lol
that is filtered, heavily
I still wanna make rah rah rah fireball work
i need to filter idols more though, clearly
It is SO satisfying
Is there a cool one with Black Hole?
no lol
still on my list to try it with the needle
I thought that spending a bunch of mana on big spells seemed neat
meteor buiuld tbh
meteor int/mana stacker
lightning convert
with the new set stuff
But black hole is cool :C
ty
If you're interested in some minion build, this is huge for snapshotting
Snapshotting?
you put a special gear to summon minion so they get the best stats, then just wear your "optimal" gear
what the fk is this?
I don't really understand, I'll have to look into it
Let's say you wanna summon a skeleton. You equip a helm that will give a huge heap of stat in minion health and minion damage. Then you equip another helmet with better stats for yourself. The skeleton will have been summon with the helmet with minion stats and will keep those stats
Thats why that ring is awesome, you can X3 those minion stats by using his special "temporary" effect, but it becomes permanent on that minion
In any case, 4LP ring are always great since it's basically an exalted ++ ring
In that case it can always just be an exalted ring with bonus stats since its 4 lp
I'm thinking about giving up on black hole, can't find solution for clear, tried disintegrate, fireball, frost claw, even glacier whirlpool, nothing works, either low damage or clunky, black hole deals 400k ticks on dummy with mediocre gear and level 88, but with 3 seconds cooldown and no good options for clear this skill is still unplayable, it could have 20x more damage and it still wouldn't change anything
Does anyone have any guide or tips for the lightning meteor build looks really fun
As a sorcerer is there a way to make all spell cost more mana, or like a % of current mana, in trying to scale through attunement and mana eventho it will suck
How bad (good?) would this build be? 😂 Basically you cast Static Orb (Cold) + Glacier automatically when using Evade for clear, and use Lightning Blast(Cold) otherwise for single target. I got the idea from using Tribolectra with my nova build where static orb does pretty good damage if specced.
Notably Glacier is reduced mana using Lesser Glacier and pumping the middle/small explosions and using reverse order, and Lightning Blast is also very cheap. Static orb is the main spender.
