[molten cobalt]

why are most of them wrong

[urban nest]

Try importing your character instead? The planner uses average rolls on everything, which might not match your ingame rolls.

[molten cobalt]

i did

oh

there is a button for actual"

didnt notice that

[urban nest]

Did you change anything in the planner afterwards? That changes it to min/avg/max instead of actual rolls afaik

[molten cobalt]

changed nothing, but it was AVG by default

its correct now when i swapped to ACTUAL

[urban nest]

Or that button, yeah. That one has to be pressed :p

[junior coral]

what time line does red ring drop again

[molten cobalt]

timeline?

red ring is a global drop

[junior coral]

oh nice

[molten cobalt]

just finished watching the last of us latest episode

bruh!

how could they

im so mad right now

[tired hound]

how tof arm rune of havoc

if theres any way to farm it?

[molten cobalt]

weaver tree

[tired hound]

cant get it through prophecies?

[molten cobalt]

i dont know

never tested it

i dont see why not

[tired hound]

spent 10k reroling havent had a single one

[molten cobalt]

maybe not then

[molten cobalt]

what about generic rune prophecy?

[peak oracle]

Hmm... can I have some advice regarding weapon progression
Im (Manastacker/Meteor) currently using a staff, but should I use a Wand+OffHand? Is there any generic-ish uniques I should be aiming? Like a wrongwarp?

[shell spoke]

How do i get body armor with strength on it as mage?

has to be exalted too 😄

[tired hound]

y testing them

for now 0 drop

[peak oracle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pC0uCj1HDb0

[molten cobalt]

yeah that sounds terrible

she explains that it takes a crap load of time just clicking reroll

because the generic rune one is rare

which, before 1.2, was a good thing

[molten cobalt]

you never wanted that one before now

[midnight hazel]

anyone have an idea how to scale flame rush damage? Black hole is doing a nice chunk but clear is a problem

[half pollen]

Damage nodes in flame rush are kinda bad sadly. The mana scaling is horrible and the other stuff is clunky

[midnight hazel]

any idea what to replace it with? I like the fast paced style ... 🙂

[tired hound]

ty

[cosmic dove]

Totally a home cooked build but I've been using meteor to clear. BH builds usually have meteor already for craterborn. With no twin meteor or shower your meteor size is gianornous. Mana cost is low so you can spam. I teleport around dropping meteors, BH on champions and bosses. It's working well but I'm casual and I'm low corruption

[earnest marten]

Ive tried to scale flame rush dmg, it was pretty meh imo. Do you check the new dr3ad vid? He played something like that

[midnight hazel]

hmm can you drop me a build by any change 🙂 Meteor sounds interesting

[midnight hazel]

ty, will check it

[cosmic dove]

I don't have a full build guide. But yeah look up ignite BH. It already has meteor for craterborn--75% fire pen is no joke. I just cast meteor for clear while that build has better gear and can get by with just BH.

Meteor has 950% damage effectiveness and BH has 800%. Weapon flat damage (staff) and added damage (both passives and gear) boosts both.

[molten cobalt]

is uber aberroth scaled with corruption?

[balmy locust]

gUYS, im trying to build a spellblade IGNITE

Im using firebrand as skill and eye of reen as weapon

Im using as much Damage over time and elemental damage over time as i can

But ignite still does almost no damage... enemies takes a LOT of time to die and i was just doing julras vault T3

Any hint for me

[half pollen]

Could you Post your build? That would help finding the issues

Do you have fire penetration? Ignite duration? Fire res shred? Missing out on those kills most ignite builds

[hallow sapphire]

Anyone playing auto meteor sorc? Struggling with survivability and mana regeneration

[keen needle]

anyone playing a shatter strike spellblade? im playing kestrel rn, from the maxroll build but i feel like there has to be a better chest piece, esp for bosses no?

[quiet folio]

Whats the best thing to put on this? 🤔

[molten cobalt]

whatever your build would use otherwise

thats a very specific piece of gear

it is not possible to use that on any build, just because it has 3 lp

it would not end up very well

[quiet folio]

hmm yea indeed 👍

thanks

[molten cobalt]

why does my stash keep using the same tab as a default tab upon opening and why does this change every day

and how do i set that myself

yesterday it was stuck on an idol tab and today it got stuck on my exalted accessories tab

[cerulean plinth]

No

I'm working on an ignite runemaster using glyph of dominion and nova to help with clear. Nova seems really bad for ignite or maybe I'm just not building the skill right idk

I'm getting to like 250 ignite stacks with glyph tho with bad gear

[uneven ember]

unless youre using an immense number of stacks, you need a huge amount of increased damage over time

[cloud creek]

Hey, mage player in the S1 here, is it okay this season or am i going to struggle ?

[cerulean plinth]

It's definitely playable but you might start struggling with survivability once you start getting into empowered monos

[spiral nacelle]

Hey guys, do you think a fireball build could do ok in endgame? I am sure it wont tackle Uberoth but i am curious if someone tried it this season

[molten cobalt]

what do you base this on?

im doing soooo fine

600 corruption atm and it feels the same as it did with 100

just chilling

[spiral nacelle]

With a fireball setup? Or did you answer to someone else? xD

[cerulean plinth]

My experience with my meteor sorc, but I also didn't get it to the point where he had solid gear

[molten cobalt]

not to you

[spiral nacelle]

Mb !

[molten cobalt]

if you are used to playing frostclaw in corruption 3000 then yes you are going to struggle

but the game isnt designed around pushing 3000 anymore

they changed how corruption scales

[cerulean plinth]

I can see it doing well enough. Send it

What kind of fireball build are you going for

[cloud creek]

okay

[spiral nacelle]

Idk, I have never tried it before, that's why i was asking if it was worth the effort. Playing shatter strike rn, around 450 corrup but i am starting slowly to get bored with it

[molten cobalt]

look into STR stacking runemaster brand autobomber if you want to run the easiest and strongest mage build

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcsX7zLNd5s

will probably try uber aberroth today

[weary hamlet]

it doesnt do much for ignite and worse off it only hits once per cast, compare that to fireball or frost claw for example

[cerulean plinth]

Makes sense

How do you get more ignite duration?

[gaunt hound]

Is there any mage build that is close to the s tier builds this season ive wanted to try a mage but they seem to be in a horrible spot damage wise compared to others

[weary hamlet]

idols, sorc passives, uniques

[weary hamlet]

many mage builds are ass tier this season

[gaunt hound]

yeah =[

[weary hamlet]

play smite paladin and pretend that you are a mage

[gaunt hound]

xD

what build do you think farms faster than any this season like your top pick?

[cerulean plinth]

Actually real tho

[weary hamlet]

erasing strike

[gaunt hound]

whats your second pick ?

[hollow bolt]

erasing strike, erasing strike and erasing strike

[cerulean plinth]

It lives up to the erasing name rn

[gaunt hound]

i have a lvl 71 sentinel what would you reccomend playing as until i can play ES?

[hollow bolt]

play void smite because you just scale vitality for defense and damage

then when you get a worls splitter swap to es

[cerulean plinth]

I never dabbled into erasing but void fissure smite treated me very well

[gaunt hound]

u have to be lvl 85 before u can play es right

[hollow bolt]

void smite is good it will carry you hard

you can play es before you just have to run void vengence for mana

[gaunt hound]

whats lvl req world splitter?

[hollow bolt]

like 80 something

are you merchants guild or cof?

es gear is very expensive on mg

[scenic dock]

can the personal affixes from champions roll higher than T4?

[weary hamlet]

sure

can be t7

[molten cobalt]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcsX7zLNd5s try this one

[remote hamlet]

i’m looking for a build that has higher dps than es vk

mage build

is that possible in season 2

[gaunt hound]

thanks so much!

[gaunt hound]

lmao

[cerulean plinth]

Gl with that

[remote hamlet]

not possible ayeee

🤣🤣

[scenic dock]

loot soft cap still around 1k corruption?

[remote hamlet]

way before

i think around 350

[molten cobalt]

soft cap?

350 is still super easy

[hollow bolt]

fortunately not

[remote hamlet]

sad

no glass cannons?

realllly?

did mage get nerfed that hard

[scenic dock]

was it confirmed smh?

[hollow bolt]

its not that mage for nerfed that hard its just erasing strike got buffed really really hard

you have 100% more multipler from 1 node alone with 600% added effectiveness

[remote hamlet]

fair

yeah very fair

[hollow bolt]

im at 1k corruption hitting bosses for 600k with one hit and it echoes 3 times per cast. normal abberoth dies in like 30 seconds

[thin flicker]

so I wasn't crazy and turned out mana guide was actually bugged and the lighting blasts were supposed to chain normally

[weary hamlet]

thats not even possible on sent

[hollow bolt]

the only thing thats comes even close is that falconer num lock thing

[cerulean plinth]

Hmmm thoughts on atrophy as my gloves purely for the pen? Is there a better option

For ignite dominion

[keen needle]

anyone playing a shatter strike spellblade? im playing kestrel rn, from the maxroll build but i feel like there has to be a better chest piece, esp for bosses no?

[molten cobalt]

i can do that too

im not at 1k corr though, but normal aberroth dies very fast

but im not at 1k because i have not bothered going there yet

[hollow bolt]

yeah true abberoth is pretty easy on normal i got my es tanky enough to where i can just face tank harbginers at 1k

and they die in 30 seconds the es build is just busted atm

still can't tank shade meteor tho lol

[cerulean plinth]

can I farm throne of ambition from normal or does it have to be on empowered? just curious

[hollow bolt]

i have only gotten them from empowered

but im not sure

[wheat charm]

Hey, I'm trying to figure something out:

Nerver Late + Nimbus Walk; if I'm trying to buff the damage of a traversal skills, does that mean I have to use a traversal skill to gain the buff, and the SECOND use of the traversal skill gets the bonus flat crit, assuming nothing consumes it in the meantime?

[weary hamlet]

your first traversal skill should get the bonus too but these nodes had been chronically bugged so who knows

[boreal widget]

Can someone help me with black hole? I can't figure out how collapse scales on my build D:

I got convert to fire -> convert to dual element -> convert back to singularity (fire) -> and then collapsing

The problem is the collapsing is pulsing both red and blue like I don't have singularity sometimes, but just red other times.

If it doesn't scale with fire damage at all I'll drop the point in it, but if it does does I'll keep it. Its just a pita to tell

These all together that is (Besides collapse itself)

I'll prob drop it just so I have a shred of visibility in fights lmao

[wheat charm]

yeah trying to turn runic invocation into a crit machine, guess ill test on a dummy and see how many crits i get on average

[weary hamlet]

nice aoe you got there, would be a shame if you stepped into something

[molten cobalt]

use that on aberroth why dont you lol

[boreal widget]

lmao I'm playing sorcerer with no guides CoF as I go, I doubt I'll get to Aberroth. I got bodied hard by T4 julra and gotta get more durability before giving her another go. One shot by the homing ice missles

[molten cobalt]

damn ok

i smack t4 julra real hard

[boreal widget]

I mean I also have no LP gear and just started so catching up. Still working through beating each empowered for a blessing and my defenses are alllll messed up until I can make gear thats better optimized

[molten cobalt]

i guess mage isnt the "correct" class to go into blindly, in 1.2

[boreal widget]

[molten cobalt]

seeing as it is the weakest class

that void res though

[boreal widget]

castually like 4x cap on void resist

Yea I just got max rolled empowered void resist on dark sun

[wheat charm]

bruh im deciding to do "wild magic" im in for a world of hurt lol

[weary hamlet]

it's always been a meme and its still a meme, nothing changed

[fervent ledge]

Is that str build worth playing without red ring

[boreal widget]

I did get this which I'm told is super rare though!

[fervent ledge]

I'm on MG and that's never happening, any red ring build

[wheat charm]

hence why i desperately want that sweet sweet 32% flat crit

[weary hamlet]

nothing will change for any RI build as long as criterion exists in its current form

when 90% of your power budget is in a very weird and niche item that pigeon holes you into your exact build, you are gonna have a bad time if you don't use it

[molten cobalt]

a +2 is pretty rare yes

[weary hamlet]

and you can't use it in a rainbow/wild magic/patriot build

[molten cobalt]

+1 is pretty common

i have one +2 but i need the STR to be +16

so im trying to find other +2 to reroll it with

[boreal widget]

Is what I'm currently using. Helped my durability issues a good bit for time being

[rugged bronze]

This is even more obscene than frostclaw nova

[fervent ledge]

Before red ring can inside exalted strength rings with HP or something

[boreal widget]

I know I'm going in blind but could I ask for help picking stuff? my build is pretty much 'drop black hole, teleport around and flame ward while it melts things' since I have +10 black hole skill points and every 'more damage' skill in it. But my last skill is kinda floating. Meteor for craterborn, flame ward cause flame ward, teleport

[fervent ledge]

Or will it not be enough

[boreal widget]

I'm unusure what on earth to do for last spell, using frost wall converted to fire since it doubles up on my +skill bonuses but doesn't seem to do anything worth casting it for

[weary hamlet]

nobody has a clue what you could get as a fifth skill cause nobody plays black hole and also cause it has some fairly specific scaling that is hard to slot into anything else really

[boreal widget]

Yeup, I discovered that the hard way t.t

[weary hamlet]

frost wall is generally a meh skill and its main damage output is ailments which you dont scale

like black hole could combine reasonably well with glyph of dominion if you could take them in the same build

glyph in many ways is just an improved black hole

[full bluff]

Found one big problem with orbiting static orb... tombs, narrow spaces

[rugged bronze]

Probably teleport for movement and elemental dmg boost

[boreal widget]

Yea I got this so far frost wall is just the outlier. I mostly use it for res shred

[full bluff]

I sometimes put in snap freeze for just the armor buff 🙂

[boreal widget]

If only I could convert glacier to fire t.t

[fervent ledge]

That black hole build dread posted looks weirdly

Anyone try it

[wheat charm]

Alright, posting my test results here for anyone in the future using the search to find the answer:

The Node "Never Late" and "Nimbus Walk" causes the following effect on traversal skills:

"Nimbus Walk" states that "Never Late" effect applies to traversal skills now. This is mainly flat crit that we're looking for.

It appears that the effect of never late applies to traversal skills ALWAYS, regardless of if you have the buff of not, despite the previous ndoe requiring you to "consume" the buff. Basically, these two nodes combined read "16 spell damage to traversal skills, 16% flat crit on traversal skills (32% flat crit if the skill costs 30+ mana)"

Testing:

I tested using the triple lightning invocation so I could see a lot of crits at once no matter what.
When "Nimbus Walk" was unspecced, and it was a traversal skill, it did very low crits (~1/10).
When "Nimbus Walk" was specced, it did about 4 in 10 crits, regardless of if I had the "Never Late" buff or not.

This math on the 4 in 10 crits makes sense, as it is a 30+ mana cost invocation, giving it 32 flat crit.

[weary hamlet]

yea they fixed this bug like three times before and now it's still on live, same as the other never late bug that allows channeling skills to benefit from it too

ehg never change

[wheat charm]

I also tested it on the skill "Flame Rush" channeling traversal skill, which for me is NOT a 30+ mana cost, giving it only 16% flat crit.

It gained this crit regardless of if I had the buff or not (It did about the expected 7% crit I had without Nimbus Walk, and about a 1/5 crit with it allocated)

[wheat charm]

honestly if you're turning runic invocation into a traversal skill you've earned that flat crit ngl. Adds a cooldown to the damn thing and now you gotta invest in CDR

[rugged bronze]

Have you tried lightning bh?

[wheat charm]

and the wording on the passive is too ambiguous

[junior coral]

can i get blesssings on alts easily or same bulshit

[wheat charm]

if that's directed at me, I'm assuming you mean Black Hole? It's not a traversal skill nor can it be turned into one to my knowledge (but I am new), so this tech wouldn't work. If it can be turned into one, then this would work

[left sable]

does the sorcerer dps passive apply to ignite damage from spells

[wheat charm]

I believe the rule is that unless it specifies "to hits" it does indeed work. Like, if I applied an ignite with skill A, and had a thing that said "100% increased dmage with skill A", then the ignite inherits that effect.

To answer, I believe yes.

[junior coral]

whats the best realistic build atm. like no lp redrings to do great stuff

[hollow bolt]

rax is making a fireball build lol

but that strength stacking build looks cool

[molten cobalt]

i enjoy it

it is very strong

and very tanky

[hollow bolt]

yeah i saw it look cool

but i thought it was bugged

[molten cobalt]

in which way

[hollow bolt]

frozen sentinel was talking about it in his stream that some interaction was bugged or something

[molten cobalt]

nothing i have heard or noticed

bugged in a good or bad way

[hollow bolt]

in a good way

[junior coral]

yeah but seems real hard to gear for MG

[molten cobalt]

uhh no

you dont need red rings, absolutely not

[junior coral]

i need a build to do b4 rr

oh?

[hollow bolt]

no its cheap in mg probably

[molten cobalt]

very cheap

[hollow bolt]

anything that isn't sentinel is probably very cheap

[molten cobalt]

got any details on which interaction is supposedly bugged? @hollow bolt

[hollow bolt]

i dont remember the exact details but him and dr3ad were talking about it on his stream. im not super familiar with the nuances of the build

[junior coral]

What rings do you suggest I use until RR(if ever)

[hollow bolt]

but i dont think ehg is nerfing anything soon anyway

[molten cobalt]

these

[hollow bolt]

or flames of midnight

the swiftness plus pen is nice

[junior coral]

and exalt a max strength?

[molten cobalt]

these work too

[junior coral]

slam

nice

[molten cobalt]

carcinization is better

and more common

like sooooo common

[hollow bolt]

yeah i bought my 2lp flames for 8 million

[molten cobalt]

whats a 2lp carcin ring go for?

prolly dirt cheap

[junior coral]

what 2 stats did you place on it. you are also STR Brand build?

[hollow bolt]

not nearly as expensive as flames

[molten cobalt]

the +6 all attri does more than you'd think

it boosts both single target and aoe clearing

2 diff invocations

[hollow bolt]

i did find a 2 lp carci early on and sold it for a decent amount it was in the couple million at that time

[molten cobalt]

you'd want STR + DEX prolly

for the STR stacking brand build

STR boosting the skill you use for bosses and DEX for the aoe map clear skill

[hollow bolt]

yeah a 2lp cari is very cheap

the flames of midnight 2lp is now at 28 million

[molten cobalt]

only thing that might be expensive, other than red ring, is bastion of honour shield

[hollow bolt]

i bought mine for 8

and the 14-15 pen is like 40-50 million thats crazy lol

[molten cobalt]

damn

CoF is the way

[hollow bolt]

yeah things are getting more and more expensive now

but stuff for other builds are geting really re]ally cheap

like if you play any mage build you can probably get 3lp items for really cheap

[boreal widget]

Gods

[molten cobalt]

people are meta slaves

[boreal widget]

I can't even play this game well, going entirely blind, and I get another 2lp of this thing

[junior coral]

like that black hole build?

[weary hamlet]

jeez man did you sell your asshole to satan or something

when can I get decent rolls from the nemesis

it bricked my last 10 red rings

[junior coral]

how you get 10

[molten cobalt]

CoF

[boreal widget]

I mean its bricked my 20 weapons lmao

[molten cobalt]

i have gotten 9

[weary hamlet]

get one, imprint it, get tons more

[molten cobalt]

though 7 of those 9 was from imprinting

[boreal widget]

I have a basic easy to get 2h weapon and it keeps getting bricked

[molten cobalt]

only 2 dropped from actual prophecies

[hollow bolt]

atleast you guys didn't waste 20 million trying to slam a 2lp titan heart to brick it

[weary hamlet]

I also have a basic easy weapon in my spellblade build, the easy weapon: essence weaver

1% chance of decent rolls, 99% brick chance

[junior coral]

maybe ill buy 1 and put it in the imprinter

still super pricey

[weary hamlet]

20?!?!?! m? sheeit

[molten cobalt]

can someone explain why the penetration works for brand?

it feels like it shouldnt

[weary hamlet]

why is it so expensive on mg

[hollow bolt]

yes 20 million and thats considered not that expensive

a t7 erasing strike mod sells for 7 million

[weary hamlet]

cause brand is an ailment and as such inherits applicable stats from the skill that applied it

[molten cobalt]

i see

but why doesn't brand benefit from plain elemental damage then

[weary hamlet]

it also should

[molten cobalt]

it needs to be elemental DOT?

and why doesnt brand benefit from flat spell power then

invocation is a spell

[boreal widget]

Essence weaver?

[junior coral]

what is the woven echo with tons of chests again

name

[molten cobalt]

there's 2

unclaimed trove is the one you can buy

[junior coral]

oh ok

[molten cobalt]

vault of the barnacle king is the other

drop only

[boreal widget]

Ohhh, unclaimed trove I don't have unlocked yet. I need to get that. Currently using the harbringer spamming one in both slots

[molten cobalt]

yeah its a good one

[weary hamlet]

essence weaver

[molten cobalt]

@weary hamlet why? if brand inherits applicable stats from the skill that applied it, as you say

[half pollen]

Or you could just use criterion, stack dex and get a free 100% crit chance from spellblade passive tree

[weary hamlet]

lol why are you asking me, I never played brand build, I have no idea. Maybe it's bugged. Maybe your testing is flawed

[junior coral]

new frozensentiel vid
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMYJeOplLX4

ill try to do that buld

[molten cobalt]

well because you made the claim 😄 sorry haha

[junior coral]

is it hard to forge the helmet?

stormcrown

[weary hamlet]

but then you kinda have to play an invo that benefits from dex scaling

[half pollen]

Brand is not a spell

[weary hamlet]

I mean it should work, but if it doesn't for you I have no idea why

[half pollen]

Only spells benefit from spellpower

[molten cobalt]

yes i know, but Ash said something that i wanted to verify

[half pollen]

Yeah, you could still play like 10 different invocations as long as the second rune is gon

[weary hamlet]

ah wait nevermind I misread it, yeah if you are asking about flat damage then brand doesn't have any flat scaling cause it's an ailment

[molten cobalt]

becaue if brand does inherit everything that scales invocation, then spell power SHOULD work

[weary hamlet]

but what if I want to play CCC? 😦

oh wait

[half pollen]

Ailments can scale with flat damage

When they have the spell flag

[weary hamlet]

if they have the spell tag that is

which makes them.. a spell

a weird ass ailment spell

[half pollen]

Warlock stuff

[molten cobalt]

@half pollen the reason it started is because i asked how this stat actually scales brand

thats how we got into it

[half pollen]

It gives Brand Lightning pen

[molten cobalt]

because it does indeed scale it

even though it only offers pen to the invocation

[junior coral]

ill maybe try this build next season when i go COF

[half pollen]

Brand actually "gets" spellpower too, it just has no scaling for it

[molten cobalt]

i see

[molten cobalt]

thank you, will check

[junior coral]

What is he using mana guide for? seems like he justs uses it to get around

the actual dmg is from invocation and flame rush

[molten cobalt]

movement while using focus

and focus is huuuuge for survivability

[junior coral]

oh

so put dot and float around t-pose for 4 seconds?

[molten cobalt]

basically

[junior coral]

[molten cobalt]

rather

use flame rush

then t-pose for 4 seconds

flame rush triggers invocation to bypass the cooldown of invocation

[junior coral]

this reminds me wheni played RM a long time ago this build where u did flame rush thru flame wall and kicked ass

at what strength should I swap to this build? I can easily put some on a lp1 STR twisted heart. and rings. Probably chest and gloves, maybe.

[molten cobalt]

oh interesting

he evolved the build into not needing to swap

between map clear and boss

[molten cobalt]

i think i had 116 STR when i swapped

[junior coral]

thanks

[molten cobalt]

now i got 165

[junior coral]

wowza

[boreal widget]

Wait what the heck is a personal affix? I keep discovering stuff t.t

[molten cobalt]

from champions i think?

similar to an experimental affix

[junior coral]

yeah champion stuff. i always press personal tab in the Auciton House to sell those

[molten cobalt]

dont think i will swap

sure you dont have to swap between two invocations based on map clear or boss, but you lose the ability to just walk and shit dies

you have to somewhat aim now

swapping takes like 5 seconds

[junior coral]

uhh wow criterion is dirt cheap lp1-2

[molten cobalt]

yep

its a semi common one

[junior coral]

how do i turn another helmet into stormcrown shock thing

[molten cobalt]

gotta shatter the set pieces first

into shards

then craft on that shard

and rearrange tiers with the rune to land t7 on it

[junior coral]

can I shatter the cheap ass staff instead of helmet

[molten cobalt]

no

the mod is a helmet mod

[junior coral]

damn lol

[molten cobalt]

you aint actually getting the set bonus

[junior coral]

how many peices do i have to shatter total

helmet is 600k each

[molten cobalt]

just 1 i guess

because you dont manually level it up

you use rune to make it t7

[junior coral]

oooh right

okay awesome

[sinful coyote]

you can still put wall/flame ward away, do fireball-flame rush-fireball for FLF plasma orb

After switch to lightning flame rush

just swap the hotbar back when bossing

[molten cobalt]

i dont want to put firewall away

it gives significant damage

[junior coral]

does that damage go into flamerush casted RI tho?

or direct casted only

[molten cobalt]

it does

it transfers over all the way to brand

it's quite a good chunk of damage

flame ward gives lots of damage too

there's 1 node that gives 250% increased lightning damage for example

on flame ward

[junior coral]

amazing

[slender pawn]

Guy I need Some help first time playing this class I want to make a disintergrater build any advice?

[molten cobalt]

advice is: dont

[slender pawn]

Why?

[molten cobalt]

it's kinda bad

[weary hamlet]

it's not bad, it's just not OP

it's a perfectly viable build that also got buffed this patch

maybe not uber aby viable though

[weary hamlet]

disintegrate has fairly niche and narrow scaling, make sure you understand how it works

[slender pawn]

To be fair i understand almost nothing of this game

[molten cobalt]

then you might want to start with a diff build

[weary hamlet]

despite being a disintegrate enthusiast I kinda agree

it's a reasonably demanding build both to knowledge and piloting since you are rooted in place to do anything and you need to know when you can do it and not get rekt by mobs

[slender pawn]

Any recomandations ?

[molten cobalt]

well the brand autobomber is very simple

good way to get to know the game

and to get to know mage

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcsX7zLNd5s

[clever hawk]

does energy overflow from the Focus skill tree scale with cast speed at all? or is the number of waves fixed?

[boreal widget]

Is there a way to 'undo' nemesis bricking a unique? (giving it stats instead of LP)

[junior coral]

so another question if I get a LP1 twisted heart and slam 16 strength on it on my other character, can I send it over to my mage and mage can wear it?

my mage is a bit too low for julra since i rerolled sorta

[weary hamlet]

as a rule channeling skills dont scale with cast speed

[junior coral]

my acolyate can do it easy tho

[weary hamlet]

sure

as long as its not on a different faction, in a different league etc

[junior coral]

thanks

[molten cobalt]

no

[wheat charm]

Why, yes, I could play an entirely different build than what I'm trying, thank you for the incredible insight.

[half pollen]

you're welcome

[junior coral]

lol

wait anyone actually do criterion spellblade high corruption?

[random gulch]

Hey guys I am planning to make a Mage what's the build to go for atm ? I am.not interested in the T Pose builds looks boring and move so slow.

[half pollen]

criterion doesnt do anything for spellblade since spellblade has no RI

[junior coral]

oh

lame

[weary hamlet]

escape - log out - new character - sentinel

[random gulch]

Meh looks like is the only way forward 😕

[quiet folio]

Is there a mage build that can beat uber abby?

[molten cobalt]

I will be testing that soon

[peak oracle]

time to have some fun with leftover uniques lmao

[molten cobalt]

all t0

[peak oracle]

all of em started at 2 lp, 2 of em went to 3

[molten cobalt]

not bad then

i dont even show t2 of those anymore

[peak oracle]

just a generic lp2 filter

[molten cobalt]

most accessories are 3lp or hidden

[peak oracle]

cba adjusting

aight, lets throw some lp3

[quiet folio]

So wait...you put in a ton of 0 uniques and might get a 3? never tried that lp reroll stuff

[peak oracle]

you put in stuff that has lp

and it goes to 0 or goes up

[quiet folio]

ahh

want 2 really low level rings i can put stuff on for alts 😂 🤣

[peak oracle]

2>3 is rare as hell wao

[balmy locust]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/AveVq17o

uh

what

that was a nemesis

[junior coral]

is this better than +16 str?

oh nvmind wrong unique

[molten cobalt]

yeah i was wondering

[junior coral]

😄

[weary hamlet]

the str stacking build is using the other chest

[molten cobalt]

thats not criterion hhe

and the answer is no

[junior coral]

okay i found a criterion that has 45%

oh darn

[molten cobalt]

you want the 16 str

[junior coral]

ok

[molten cobalt]

but ultimately you want this

[junior coral]

i bought it anyway in the meanwhile , was only 45k

but ill try make one with STR

later

[peak oracle]

i had to sac 2 red rings to roll +5 attributes

smh

[junior coral]

lol

[molten cobalt]

nothing out of the ordinary

crap

why 4 STR

whyyyy

[peak oracle]

gl farming another

[quasi wedge]

yo

how do I speed level as runemaster

I have the keys, I just need a braindead combo of skills

[molten cobalt]

time to try uber aberroth

[junior coral]

do you have bastion imprinted?

[molten cobalt]

yes

but only on one

the others are busy with red ring

need my 2nd 1lp red ring

oh my

that void damage aoe corridor on the ground

that one insta KO me

[peak oracle]

thank god im done with that

[molten cobalt]

well uber aberroth hits hard thtas for sure

several skills will 1hit me

[junior coral]

man i'm applying fire aura and the frostwall dmg tech on that old INT Brand build, its great.

until I transition to STR

Saw those two methods on frozen sentinel vids.

[cosmic dove]

What is included under "stat buffs"?
Cold res/armor from crystalline passage?
Haste from comet rush?

[peak oracle]

nihilis is a normal abberoth drop right

[molten cobalt]

yeah im not beating uber aberroth without some serious practice

cant tank any of the bigger attacks

[peak oracle]

i dont even wanna know how hard he hits

i feel like ill just keel over since stuff at 400 corrupt can like oneshot me

even with 2x reds

[peak oracle]

probably have to swap builds

what hit for 4k

theres like a lot

[molten cobalt]

not 4k

7k

[peak oracle]

is that how it works?

because i have clips that suggest otherwise

[weary hamlet]

overkill is on top of the kill damage, not like 4k total of which 3k was overkill

[molten cobalt]

there's so much going on in the fight

so many spots i cannot be at, all at once

gonna need massive amount of practice

because i cant facetank like sentinel

[peak oracle]

im googling and it says otherwise

mhm

[peak oracle]

p2 thunder? whats lightning void

[molten cobalt]

either way, there's 6400 hit

7400*

[slender sedge]

damn bosses and their checks notes
mechanics

[molten cobalt]

he hits HARD

[molten cobalt]

come again?

[peak oracle]

whats the attack killing you

i dont remember an attack being lightning+void

[weary hamlet]

I mean just from playing the game it seems that cyborg is wrong cause when the mob oneshots me from full health or health and ward the damage simply doesn't match up

to what he is describing

[peak oracle]

my death clips sorta match up

[balmy locust]

guys
Any1 with enough knowledge to analyze this plz?

[molten cobalt]

everything basically

i can get him to 80% easily and very fast, but then he shields up and this is where i always die

can i wait out the shield?

[peak oracle]

well i cant give you advice since im struggling way before

yeah

you can due decay

depends on how you sustain though

[molten cobalt]

my first invocation takes him down to 91%

just from 1 single skill

[molten cobalt]

flame rush sustains ward

just gotta always be moving

[peak oracle]

well gl, im still struggling on my own terms

[molten cobalt]

yeah im not beating him any time soon

[peak oracle]

regular aberroth takes me like 5minutes

uber is going to be something

[weary hamlet]

hmmm

[molten cobalt]

5min?!

takes me like 30 sec

issue is i cant make my build tankier

damage i can scale a little bit more, but thats not the issue

is there a video of FrozenSentinel killing uber aberroth maybe

[peak oracle]

yeah i feel like my damage starts capping and i dont know what to do

[molten cobalt]

saw a video of a diff runemaster build killing uber aberroth quite easily

a runebolt build

[summer juniper]

guys i have been farming for this specific staff and i'm not getting it at all in this timeline

like even with prophecies

its driving me crazy

[molten cobalt]

i got 2 spare 2lp versions, but doesnt do you any good 😄

1in9 with ascendancy rune looks super simple though

[covert fiber]

Is there a difference btween these 2 lightning damages ? since one says lightning damage and the other spell lightning damage

[summer juniper]

its viable for hydrahedron build

thats why i need it

[molten cobalt]

some skills are not spells

[covert fiber]

oh in that sense

ic ic ty

[peak oracle]

i wish i would know if my build just sucks

or that some builds are just way ahead

idfk

[quasi wedge]

what is the second set?

vilatria nvm

[safe mason]

ANy shatter strike spellblade enjoyers? How much CDR do u need to make enchnt weapon 100% uptime?

[molten cobalt]

yeah this is not a good build for uber aberroth

i cant seem to break the shield and then the arena fills up with void pools

[peak oracle]

how does that mechanic work in uber

[molten cobalt]

same way as non uber, but more balls flying it feels like

and deals more damage

but non uber dies so fast it doesnt have time to get real messy

[peak oracle]

and youo cant dodge?

[molten cobalt]

i have no dodge lol

thats why i want my second 1lp red ring

tis b itch took my evade haha

[peak oracle]

lmao

[molten cobalt]

with a fking crab

[peak oracle]

dude plays crab ring

[molten cobalt]

you can pass through the void balls with flame rush without triggering them though

[unkempt socket]

Swiftness tho

[molten cobalt]

yeah the swiftness is nice

[unkempt socket]

I need to get frenzy and swiftness on my shatter strike build

[molten cobalt]

haste i have

but haste + swiftness is nice

[terse thistle]

oh yes

[unkempt socket]

Yah i have haste aswell

[molten cobalt]

haste is from focus

[unkempt socket]

Maybe i just go flame rush for frenzy

[molten cobalt]

can get it from frost wall too

[hallow sapphire]

my first t3, playing meteor autobomber

[unkempt socket]

Cant use frodt wall

Then i would have no movement skill

[molten cobalt]

i feel like twisted heart really hurts me in uber aberroth

the constant drain on my life

it stresses me out, even though it adds it to ward

[unkempt socket]

Hmm nah flame rush is bad for me aswell

Need a different dource of frenzy

[uncut zealot]

killing blow is the amount of dmg you take in that single instnace. whether its 1000k or 5k.

if you take a hit for 10k, and have 5k life, you will see: Killing Blow 10k ------ Overkill 5k

[uncut zealot]

this is the result of a dot

[molten cobalt]

doesnt really matter what did it

[uncut zealot]

yeah 😂

dats a lot of dmgd

[molten cobalt]

everything kills me

somehow my damage drops off drastically on his shield

taking him down to 80% is super easy

[uncut zealot]

the shield is bigger than his healeth poo

pool

[molten cobalt]

i see

[uncut zealot]

like much bigger

[peak oracle]

same shit with other bosses

[molten cobalt]

i dont have the survivability for him

and definitely not the skill

has FrozenSentinel killed him?

[uncut zealot]

it seems as if the fight is meant to be a skill check not a tank check

i havent done it

but just based on the vids ive seen

unless youre a sentinel lul

[molten cobalt]

yeah sentinel facetanks it

[uncut zealot]

i hate the whole ride the hype shit

hey lets rework sentinel... oh and lets make it categorically more powerful than any other class

[molten cobalt]

and yes it is a skill check for sure, im just not very skilled

[uncut zealot]

haha

[molten cobalt]

and then there's the fact that i lost my evade

and that i always have to move with focus

otherwise im paper thin

the fight gets dragged out for so long that eventually you will make a mistake

and that mistake will kill you

[solemn viper]

Can anyone tell me where to find ward sec + ward retention idols? I’m farming cemeteries but I haven’t gotten a single one lol

[quasi wedge]

just a casual first mono timeline

[molten cobalt]

maybe your filter is hiding it

[solemn viper]

Doubt that, it shows every mage and general idols, I have the same type just not those affix, unless there is some sort of bug

[molten cobalt]

these?

[solemn viper]

Yes

[molten cobalt]

yeah i dont have many, maybe they are just rare

only got 4

[peak oracle]

weaver idols?

[solemn viper]

Great lol I haven’t seen one yet lol

[peak oracle]

you said your filter is showing mage and general

weaver is a different section

i think i have like 10 of em

1x1s

[solemn viper]

But I have other weaver idols

[peak oracle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[solemn viper]

They show maybe they are just rare idk

I’ll reset the idol filter and see if I get any

[molten cobalt]

best i can do on uber aberroth is about 50% shield

80% life

and then arena is like 80% void

[peak oracle]

stop using crab ring bro

[molten cobalt]

wont help me much

the void balls are gigantic

prolly still hit me

and apparently the shield does not decay

[peak oracle]

what

[molten cobalt]

yeah not his shield

[unreal blade]

Grab the tab header and give it a wiggle and it will become the new default tab when you open the stash.

[molten cobalt]

i see

[unreal blade]

Burning Avarice perhaps

[cerulean plinth]

probably. just a bit of a pain to farm

[molten cobalt]

tried the new non swapping version of the STR stacking brand bomber

felt god awful in maps

plasma orb feels soooooo much better in maps

[unreal blade]

shouldn't really be evading with the build though. you are constantly moving already.

[molten cobalt]

and that becomes a negative when fighting uber aberroth

[unreal blade]

got him to 25% post heal. could kill it with some practice or some better gear, possibly a shield change also.

[molten cobalt]

with what build

[unreal blade]

he just swapped to MG so he could gear out better, so i'm sure he'll kill it in a few days.

[unreal blade]

the same build

[molten cobalt]

nice

i gave up for now

aint got the patience

wait, did you or FrozenSentinel get him to 25%?

[unreal blade]

nah movement is great on uber abby

[proper tinsel]

Is runebolt like this https://www.lastepochtools.com/build-guides/spoonmasters-runebolt-light-show-runemaster

still viable in patch. Got a 3LP max alch ladle I wanna play with

[unreal blade]

you asked if frozen had beaten him, i said he got him to 25%

[unreal blade]

nerfed (max 8 ailments on the ladle now) but might still be decent

[molten cobalt]

yes but flame rush is restricted movement since you cant turn and focus is slower movement

[unreal blade]

just need practice. you can also delete void zones with the fire aoe he places on you, if you position it right.

[molten cobalt]

have YOU tried uber aberroth with that build?

[unreal blade]

no but i watched all of his progress

[molten cobalt]

yeah not the same

when did he do this though? I'd love to find the vod

[unreal blade]

uh i was teaching him stuff about the fight while he was progressing it. just cause my character isn't ready for it doesn't mean i don't know how it works.

[proper tinsel]

I got spell damage / dot damage and mana/ward on mana use for affixes

[molten cobalt]

im sure you understand the fight in theory, but that does not equate to practice

[unreal blade]

i've seen other people dropping damage for movement speed on the fight and they say it makes it so much easier.

[unreal blade]

he did some prog last night and some the previous stream i think

[molten cobalt]

I do appreciate you trying to help, but I noticed myself that watching step by step guides and whatnot is far from actually doing it. Talk is cheap sort of deal

I have done raiding in Lost Ark with difficult mechanics everywhere and this boss still slapped me silly

im no god gamer, but I'm not crap either

[fervent ledge]

Well Uber is supposed to be so insane some classes can barely do it. More about balance they shouldn't have nerfed mage ward

[unreal blade]

idk feel free to ignore me but all the tips i was giving him got him closer to a kill. staying close to the boss to apply chill for the DR, dodging less things so you aren't in an awkward position, using the fire aoe to create a clear area for the void zones, and other things. i suggested swapping to majasa shield when he gets one slammed and i think that would be a significant help since he has plenty of hit DR, he doesn't need the 100% block chance of bastion. the DoTs are the problem later in the fight.

[summer juniper]

which build are you doing?

[molten cobalt]

dunno how ward was in 1.1, but in 1.0 runemasters were running around with 20k ward, that was freakin ridiculous

and 20k wasnt even good

[unreal blade]

same build as frozensentinel. i just am not as progressed due to IRL issues and just being a slower player.

[peak oracle]

how tf do i scale meteor post 300c properly...

[uncut zealot]

Mana int and generic % dmg

[molten cobalt]

yeah I try to stay close for the same reason. the destroying void puddles does sound interesting, but the fire thing doesn't happen very often? is it the one where you get the red circle for a couple sec before it deploys?

[unreal blade]

yes. you don't get many of them but they create a window where you can really focus on dps.

[molten cobalt]

he lost a lot of DoT DR when he removed those 2 nodes on flame rush to fit damage to it

he basically lost 36% DoT DR

[peak oracle]

my 380c timelines are getting rough for different reasons and i feel i need much more damage than what I currently have

[uncut zealot]

How much mana you corn

Got

[peak oracle]

1.9

[uncut zealot]

Int?

[unreal blade]

when you drop the fire patch you can effectively ignore balls for about 20-30 sec. they will hit you, drop to the ground and disappear.

[peak oracle]

117

[uncut zealot]

Int kinda low. But idk how you are low dmg lol

Must not have much %

Show ur staff

[peak oracle]

its mostly boss damage thats like bad-ish

[molten cobalt]

if you simply stay in the fire?

[unreal blade]

or next to it

[uncut zealot]

Due to mana?

[peak oracle]

no, stuffs too tanky for my liking?

[uncut zealot]

Bruh

You missing like 300% dmg roll there

[molten cobalt]

which shield is the majasa shield? @unreal blade

[peak oracle]

hmm

[uncut zealot]

You need new weapon asap

[peak oracle]

should i just ignore mana on my weps

or

[unreal blade]

~https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAwRgzALCJA

[uncut zealot]

Probably

[peak oracle]

staff or wand+off?

[uncut zealot]

Seal a mana affix

For big single hit skills, I prefer staff unless you are able to utilize a unique combo

[molten cobalt]

nice already have one

ok so it can outright block DoT

[unreal blade]

slam block effect and DoTs become much less of a problem

[molten cobalt]

would that actually petrify a boss?

that would be funny

[tired hound]

what corruption u at?

im slightly struggling dmg wise on 316 corruption

[molten cobalt]

corruption doesnt affect uber boss

im at 573 and it still feels the same as 100

[tired hound]

yeah im asking for the build not anytihng about your question above :d

hmmm

[molten cobalt]

im not pushing very fast

im sure i can go to 1k+

[tired hound]

how much shock chance you got?

[molten cobalt]

shock chance has heavy diminishing return after a while

[tired hound]

lor whats most important for build

[molten cobalt]

553% unbuffed

but during boss fights you get up to 400% more

[tired hound]

hmmm

[molten cobalt]

from the invo

[molten cobalt]

STR is

[tired hound]

woudl you say 81 is bad?

[molten cobalt]

very

[tired hound]

and thats why my dmg

okay

[molten cobalt]

but STR doesnt help you in maps

it does not boost plasma orb

thats DEX

str helps when you swap to the boss invocation

[quasi wedge]

game is telling me something I think

[molten cobalt]

thats a common one

please be the one

be the hero!

he was in fact not the one

[quasi wedge]

I wanna do 4x this one

[tired hound]

am i not scaling the DOT?

[molten cobalt]

the brand? yes

but what buffs the invocation that triggers the brand buffs in most cases the brand too

[peak oracle]

this will last me until i get something better ready

[uncut zealot]

There ya go

[peak oracle]

but the mana management is gonna be

ass

i lost like 700 mana

[tired hound]

hmm okay so my prio should be getting like 70 more str ye?

ive got ele dot dmg on belt and neck already and str t7 on chest

[winter crow]

any mage build able to kill uber thats not the t-pose runemaster?

[molten cobalt]

STR will still give you equal amount of INT and int scales shock chance for example

but the big damage from STR is only for the single target invocation

[tired hound]

oh shit u right cuz of the head

[tired hound]

ye

[molten cobalt]

cleaver

ah yes you mean the set stat

[tired hound]

ye

smort

[molten cobalt]

i changed to STR version at i think 116 STR and that felt totally fine to me

[tired hound]

what should i get on my cleaver for lp? (as in what stats

)

[molten cobalt]

this

but first prio is shock chance

2nd lp is not that important

on cleaver anyway

2nd lp is big on amulet and chest

and also easy to get

[tired hound]

¸yh

[molten cobalt]

@unreal blade do you know why Frozen changed his gear to fight aberroth?

he removed his criterion?

makes no sense

oh i get it

he tried to cheese more front loaded damage

how is he dealing so much god damn damage though

he had 10 more STR than me and much worse stats on 2nd LP on gear

[unreal blade]

there's a beneficial bug with frostwall's aspirant's arrival and increased frostwall duration makes it better.

i don't recommend it, but it's there if you want to.

[molten cobalt]

yeah i asked him on stream just now

that would explain his insane damage

because he snap shots a massive damage buff that scales with how long frost wall was up

guess i need some of these

[mild remnant]

Newbie here coming from diablo. D3 had a build where whilenyou channeled a spell, meteors rained down rapidly and nuked everything. Is there something similar in here?

[molten cobalt]

yes

a focus build that triggers meteors

[unreal blade]

you can do that with mana guide sorcerer (gets meteor spell). it's probably fine for early end game, and maybe middle endgame.

[mild remnant]

Oh nice

[tight bloom]

yes, and it's fun and strong, Vilatria's set, mana guide, harbinger of stars

[harsh abyss]

Alternatively, just cast Vilatria meteors and have a good time. Giant lightning explosions

[junior coral]

does spell damage go up per level

naturally

[harsh abyss]

No, nothing increases per level but the passive point you gain

Just keep an eye out for new bases that have more spell damage on them

[peak oracle]

i swear

nihilis doesnt exist

[peak oracle]

the heck is uber abberoth

what is this damage

[junior coral]

made for falconers and sentinels

[peak oracle]

excuse me

[scenic sail]

falconers aren't exactly made to slay uberroth, it needs a much tankier class and falconer is far from tanky

[junior coral]

falconer have a few kills on him I tink

umbral blades falconer

[peak oracle]

his ward decay

is like

slow as shit

[junior coral]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mre_FkS2tc

[upper mason]

is hit based rune bolt possible

or not really?

[junior coral]

so when i swap to STR version the brand build gets dps?

its currnetly the slowest dmg build ive done in this game ever

my lich same level probably does around 10x more dps

[molten cobalt]

you are probably doing it wrong then

even before swapping, doing INT stacking, it felt great

[junior coral]

i put shock chance and dmg ele over time on every piece I can

what else is there

didn't know the game can even have dps on bosses this low lol

[molten cobalt]

show build link

import yours and link it

[peak oracle]

chillon

why does uber abberoth

just change his rotation

this is dumb

[molten cobalt]

i dont know enough about him yet

[weary hamlet]

you are still playing pve while he is playing pvp

[lunar crest]

What can I cook with this?

[molten cobalt]

nothing

use it on a build that doesnt need unique gloves

[peak oracle]

:|

[molten cobalt]

jesus

having a good time with uber abby huh

[peak oracle]

the worst thing is

the wave of balls isnt consistent

and if its weird theres 2 side by side

or it overlaps with the long slam

and its liek undodgeable

ignoring my actual dmg to him

[honest ocean]

hey guys, trying a lightning blast build. the only good legendary weapon i could find on le tools is a scepter but that would make me lose the skillpoint nodes for wand, still worth it you think?

i could also redo everything and try with the wand that casts lightning blast on frost claw crit?

[peak oracle]

2min30 to push to his first ward; yknow maybe my current build sucks

[molten cobalt]

oof

that takes me like

10 seconds

its during shield my damage drops off

[peak oracle]

shield itself is way too tanky

i can learn the patterns and handle it but the time it takes is just too much

the balls are going to be a long lasting issue

if i dont solve my dps

[molten cobalt]

the void balls are present entire fight

and later on the arena gets smaller too

and there will be more lasers

[remote hamlet]

okay i’m no longer looking for most dps

but looking for fun

and i understand that is subjective and everyone has diff versions of fun

but what mage build would you say is insanely more fun than es vk

[molten cobalt]

never played vk so dunno

[zinc pewter]

Looking for a meteor spam like build. Do any of u have any?

I wanna feel that im the baddas mage

[molten cobalt]

look for a vilatria sorc build

lightning meteor

[zinc pewter]

can i level with sorcerer?

[molten cobalt]

sure

[zinc pewter]

i have to craft the item set to make the build online so. right?

dont seeing so much hard to build

[junior coral]

so twisted heart is solely just to have 16 more strength?

16 more strenght that much better than something like stormcarver?

[molten cobalt]

yes, against bosses

its also extra ward

and +1 skills

which in some cases actually mean something

for focus for example extra ranks means more DR

[peak oracle]

what a pita echo...

it actually took like half an hour to do this

[molten cobalt]

success

i wish it had +16 as base too

but oh well

[solemn viper]

You can’t craft set items, they have to drop unfortunately, once you get to monoliths you will find some for sure

Go CoF so you drop the entire set together

[zinc pewter]

yeah. im lv12 cof

[grand karma]

what are some good affixes to look for if doing elem nova?

[zinc pewter]

Also the frozensentinels build looks sick

[hearty chasm]

are there other more passive way to gain mana using disintegrate ? using focus is just to clunky

[molten cobalt]

it's nice

[junior coral]

does the chest i slam into criterieon have to be mage chest or can be any class

for 16 strenght

[vapid arch]

he has Dr during some animations/phases

like 90% dr iirc

[junior coral]

or do i need to change the INT from a mage chest into STR first

then slam

this build is rough lol

dont even wanna think about how to do the helmet

[zinc pewter]

are u following frozen leveling?

[junior coral]

im trying to learn how to craft this gear

i dont know what to do with chest and helmet

[zinc pewter]

the helmet u need to do the new mechanic

[junior coral]

2 new mechanics right?

first I turn the int into strength and then err

i turn stormcrown into shard

[zinc pewter]

The Great Bridge

[junior coral]

whats the most tier i can get that to with shards, t4?

[zinc pewter]

dont know

[molten cobalt]

t5

[junior coral]

also i need to turn mage int robes into strength with weaver echo right?

and then slam that into criteriorn?

[molten cobalt]

find a chest with int or dex and change attribute then slam

costs 1 reforge potential

how does block effectiveness work?

and is that the most important stat on a shield for a mage?

[harsh abyss]

Its basically armor for your blocks. More of it makes you block more damage.

Block chance is still probably your most important shield affix. But shields also gdt a unique affix that is +all resists, which is hella strong.

[molten cobalt]

my block chance is over 100%

and all resistances are capped

so i guess block effectiveness

[junior coral]

does putting the final tier of weaver echoes in the weaver tree actually work

[molten cobalt]

what do you mean

[junior coral]

just for example,

the one i socketed in their is the final tier
