last ones on the list

molten cobalt
#

thats not the last one

#

the last one is uber aberroth

junior coral
#

no i mean last row

molten cobalt
#

and why socket that one

junior coral
#

just wanted to see if it works

#

for last tier

#

havne't seen any show up tho

molten cobalt
#

the one in third row is better

#

unclaimed trove

grand karma
#

@harsh abysshey quick question, would you mind if i dm you so i can get some insight to your gordian prism build?

junior coral
#

okay, it showed up. it does work. Yeah i know that one sucks, i was just testing 😄

harsh abyss
#

Sure

molten cobalt
#

ok i made i to phase 2 on uber

#

for the first time

#

those vines though

midnight dune
#

Can anyone explain this interaction? its from the maxroll fireball guide. i dont understand any interaction they are going for? Are they just using it for the good stats it provides, or is there some cheese to get fire damage out of the infusions somehow?

nimble shoal
midnight dune
#

ah okay

molten cobalt
#

i just got this from a regular map

#

isnt this a dungeon only drop?

nimble shoal
junior coral
#

uhh well shit something happened with gold duping and 1 lp red rings are 800million mininum now.

#

RIP

molten cobalt
#

thats why you dont go MG

junior coral
#

yeah big mistake lol

#

its so scuffed maybe worse than other seasons

molten cobalt
#

even if you dont RMT, others do

#

so you end up fked because of others

#

if you do MG

upper mason
#

wait a second

#

is fire aura finally viable?

junior coral
molten cobalt
#

giving up already huh

#

its not a build issue, it is a you issue

#

with the STR stacker

junior coral
#

no i'm giving up becuase i dont play things that i can't complete

#

MG is literally bricked

#

but that blackhole build looks doable

#

that is...until some RMT Sscmuck seems that video and I get boned tomarrow morning 😄

molten cobalt
#

why cant you complete it

junior coral
#

i would need to get 2 billion gold for the red rings

molten cobalt
#

you dont need red rings

junior coral
#

altough it will probably be 6billion by next week

#

i know. i like finishing builds tho in arpgs usually

molten cobalt
#

CoF gets red rings easily

junior coral
#

yeah im too lazy to reroll factions just wanna finish a build

uncut zealot
#

sounds like youre too late anyway

#

every 'finished' build has 2x red rings

#

gl lol

junior coral
#

hmm not all

#

theres a few

uncut zealot
#

define complete lol

#

you trying to get evreything 4lp with perfect stats etc?

#

or just get the base uniques and call it good

junior coral
#

no, at least 1 lp

#

but even the 1lp is 900mill and going up by 2x every day so lol

#

its fine tho i'll just do some meme build. i dont mind

uncut zealot
#

gl lol

molten cobalt
#

these could be great

#

if i land the t7 on int and then swap to str

#

AoE size is perfect if you do the no swap str stacker and rely on flame rush aoe to apply brand

#

I'd rather have frailty instead of fire res though

upper mason
#

since statics range is doubled

#

Would building up charges with static and unleashing it be viable now?

molten cobalt
#

gloves bricked..

#

fkn fk

modest mantle
#

such is life

molten cobalt
#

they were so lovely

sharp quest
#

Allo guys, i'm playing a lightning runemaster as my first class, and currently i got like lightning blast, static and flame ward as my 3 specs
Trying to figure out what my other two should be, one i would assume would be glyph of dominon as it is another big lightning spell

#

Any advice on what I can go ahead with >.<

half pollen
#

I would almost always add runic invocation to a runemaster build

#

@molten cobalt yesterday I farmed all day with Red rings as imprints and got only one. Is there a Trick to it?

late seal
#

So basically if I have 1000 mana, I will get 150 flat damage and 95% crit chance to mana strike for 4 skill points?

half pollen
#

Yeah, but mana strike has no good multipliers and bad damage effectiveness

dusk grail
#

Are any flame spellblade builds usable? Curious for a build idea

wild nymph
#

can lightning blast that is cast on crit with frost claw via the Dragorath's Claw even detonate all spark charges? is it even affected by the Lightning Blast tree?

Did it use to? i cant tell

harsh abyss
#

Any time a specializable skill is triggered, it uses the tree for that skill

wild nymph
harsh abyss
#

I mean if it doesn't, that's a bug

echo saffron
#

Just started leveling mage and Volcanic Orb feels so powerful on bosses, especially with Firestarter Torch. Is it worthy to make a build around it or its falling off later on damage wise?

late seal
#

What are the best skills to proc meteor from this belt? I consider mana strike to maintain mana over 400 for 100% crits🤔 although, there could be something more convenient

weak monolith
teal venture
dusk grail
#

anyone made a spellblade build using eternal eclipse?

copper turtle

weary hamlet
#

not to mention that it isnt even good on sentinel where you can do that

dusk grail
#

video of it

#

it wasnt like S tier A tier

#

but it was fine

weary hamlet
dusk grail
#

Less about making a busted build and more interested in making a build that works using something that isnt done that much

weary hamlet
#

yea sure go for it, but as I said above, never seen anything like this before

dusk grail
#

think it'd be cool

weary hamlet
#

your turn to be the daring explorer

half pollen
#

I thought a little about wild magic runemaster and you probably would want to still play criterion and just stack dex strength and attunement equally and then do a reowyns fortress build. Its not gonna be meta but its probably the best way to scale every invocation. You get a lot of Armor from strength, a bit of dodge and lots of crit from dex. Attunement will be a little useless like it always is, but that way you can just go all out. Or you just scale strength and dex and accept that your invocations with a Rah rune in the middle wont do as much. Then just get a lot of castspeed with runebolt and then go ham with double cast invocation from rune powercore

vital pilot
#

anyt tips for getting more damage at lvl 75? having a hard time at 75-80 monos. my build brand of deception runemaster. mobs dont die too fast as well as rares

half pollen
#

How is your shock chance? And what do you use to apply brand?

vital pilot
#

focus

#

i dont remember ,my shock chance

half pollen
#

Static can be a very easy Brand applicator before you have any scaling since it has 800% more damage with 200 stacks

vital pilot
#

but im runemaster

#

I see, static is the debuff?

half pollen
#

Static is the skill

vital pilot
#

i use flamre rush with rune

#

forgot the name

#

electric orb

half pollen
#

You need a skill with lots of more multipliers for brand

vital pilot
#

procking from fire lightning fire rune

half pollen
#

Then you want a criterion and stack some stats

#

And check your shock chance, that one is very important for brand

vital pilot
#

I see

#

ill check later

#

thanks for the tips

#

I knew something was lacking, coz the video i saw , it melts mobs and bosses

half pollen
#

Lightning penetration with invocations is also are very strong affix to have on chest or helmet

vital pilot
#

ok ill look for thise

#

wtf no wonder my damage suck, shock chance 0

half pollen
#

100% shock chance is already 7 times damage

mint ivy
#

Is this good for enchant weapon? I am Spelblade (Flame Rave build)

weary hamlet
mint ivy
#

does this drop from prophecies ?

#

someone already aswered on this thanks

whole sapphire
#

Can anyone explain what volley of glass (frost claw) does? it increases my manacost a lot but im not really sure if its good

weary hamlet
#

makes so that all of your frost claw bolts can shotgun a single target

next horizon
#

What is the best weapon setup to be defensive as mage please ?

#

is that the 2h flame ward staff

#

or any catalyst ward ?

half pollen
#

Its probably a shield

next horizon
#

and then u should scale effectiveness

half pollen
#

60% block chance is still a lot better than almost nothing from a catalyst

next horizon
#

tbh idk how impactful is 14 int ward retention + passives sorcerer and also 100 ward per sec

half pollen
#

The new dot shield with a T7 effectivenes slapped onto it is probably the easiest defense. Or you go strength stack with bastion

next horizon
#

nah bastion doesnt fit in my build

#

tyvm one of the rare channel where people actually answer to random questions

half pollen
#

Besides weapons you just need to stack defense layers. Red rings, ravenous, damage dealt to mana, endurance. Whatever fits your build

next horizon
half pollen
#

You mean wrongwarp?

next horizon
half pollen
#

I love that wand, its really good

#

It has quite a lot going for it

weary hamlet
#

like if you even have it at 1-2 lp and you have 70% move speed with the proc on it, it's already got a ton of stats

#

also the guaranteed stun + invuln on teleport

teal hull
#

does anyone know if this can loop on itself? Like can I get more fire auras by killing enemies with fire aura?

weary hamlet
#

sure it's a fire skill

slate robin
#

anyone playing static orb mana stacking? Is it good for end-game?

lethal grail
#

is there any uberoth viable mage build out there?

half pollen
#

Its not a walk in the park like paladin though

molten cobalt
#

a runebolt build

lethal grail
#

ive seeen that

#

he had like 3-4 lp everything

molten cobalt
#

yeah his gear is insane

lethal grail
#

and it still wasnt looking too great

#

he had to sweat a lot on that kill

molten cobalt
#

runemaster brand of deception build can do it too with less gear requirement

lethal grail
#

i have 2+ lp runemaster

#

and after like 5hrs of tries im kinda done

#

i cant tank a single hit

#

so literally have to do it hitless

molten cobalt
#

i dont know, but the DoT shield might help

#

not tried that one myself though

lethal grail
#

ye i was thinking about that one

molten cobalt
#

the medusa one

half pollen
molten cobalt
#

i got uber aberroth down to the forrest phase, where platform changes

#

so damage is totally fine

#

i just need to learn the mechanics

lethal grail
#

i think ill just make a uberoth killing build

#

and it will take less time than doing it on mage

#

ward is so bad comparing to health now

#

finally hp meta

half pollen
#

Good thing my mana stacker runemaster has like 1.3k endurance threshold. But it deals no damage kappa

molten cobalt
#

i feel squishy when fighting uber abby too

#

i might try the medusa shield, i have a 2lp one laying around

cobalt totem
#

hey I’m trying to understand brand of deception. When you have bonus damage from Order’s Imposition, +6% per +1% shock chance, what shock chance does the formula use ?

#

The one from the skill that applied the brand + global shock chance ?

molten cobalt
#

global shock chance only

#

no spell shock chance

cobalt totem
#

so there’s like 2-3 nodes that give global shock chance, + items. Is that it ?

molten cobalt
#

or lightning shock chance

#

or whatnot

molten cobalt
#

the set helmet is big

#

1% shock chance per 1 int

cobalt totem
#

so that one does nothing ?

spark juniper
#

is this... decent?

half pollen
#

Covenant invocation grants shock chance too

molten cobalt
#

the single target invocation gives 100% shock chance per trigger

#

up to 400%

#

yeah covenant

cobalt totem
#

what’s the single target invocation ? runic invocation ?

molten cobalt
#

convenant arc

half pollen
molten cobalt
half pollen
#

But its hard to get more out in 4 seconds

molten cobalt
half pollen
#

I wonder how much you get with runebolt and cast speed

cobalt totem
#

Covenant Arc is Freeze Freez Lightning. Alright

molten cobalt
#

you should aim for around 500% shock chance plain unbuffed

#

thats where people seem to end up at with decent gear

#

550% ish

half pollen
#

Its also quite easy to make a simple spreadsheet for Brand to compare shock chance, elemental damage over time, penetration and strength

cobalt totem
#

ok I’m only level 63 and no gear. So no real damage from brand

molten cobalt
lethal grail
molten cobalt
#

one thing that helped me a ton was not using covenant arc on uber aberroth

half pollen
molten cobalt
#

it is somewhat hard to actually land the hit with flame rush

#

in the middle of all the other chaos you miss it a lot

#

so i changed to lightning web and made flame rush the delivery method

peak oracle
#

well

#

im looking for uber builds

lethal grail
#

well, dont look at mage then 😄

molten cobalt
#

mage does not have a proper uber build

#

just builds that can do it, with lots of effort

peak oracle
#

im fine with effort

#

im not fine with 30min of hitless gameplay effort

#

my current build

lethal grail
#

thats the only gameplay mage gets when it comes to uberoth

#

at least for me

#

and i find my build decently built

molten cobalt
#

30min is a bit steep, but it will take a fair bit of time yes

lethal grail
#

sad part is even with uberoth relic and gloves i dont think it will get much better

peak oracle
#

at my current dps its going to take longer than 30 actually

#

so yeah

#

i need a new build

molten cobalt
#

yes you do

#

if regular aberroth takes you 4min like you said yesterday you need a new build

#

then your damage is too low

peak oracle
#

self cast meteor just isnt there

lethal grail
#

also @molten cobalt you playing brand runemaster?

half pollen
#

Yeah he plays strength stack brand

lethal grail
#

frozen posted a new tech with it

#

might try that one for uberoth i guess

molten cobalt
molten cobalt
#

ah yes the snap shotting

lethal grail
#

yeee

molten cobalt
#

i was hoping he wouldnt make a video

#

now they will hotpatch it

lethal grail
#

now it will be fixed

#

clearly a bug

molten cobalt
#

yes

lethal grail
#

i wouldnt rly call it a snapshot too

molten cobalt
#

it is

lethal grail
#

kind of is

half pollen
#

Isnt it the wall that snapshots the duration?

lethal grail
#

ye, also buff stays after proc

half pollen
#

Imo that whole 30% more damage per second node should go into the trash. Its too strong and too clunky

molten cobalt
#

its not too strong if you have to manually use it

#

because manually using it is so freakin clunky itself

#

noone actually does that

lethal grail
#

tbf, it should be changed and power from it moved to other passives

#

cuz its not that mage is too strong with it

#

and its cluky af

molten cobalt
#

he says if you manually cast runic invocation you lose it

#

i did not know this

#

i wonder why though

lethal grail
#

spaghetti code i suppose

molten cobalt
#

seems he figured out a way to get plasma orb without respec, just a skill swap

#

thats also new to me

#

lightning web does feel awful in mapping

lethal grail
#

yeee

#

porb has best clear out of all

#

just dmg is lacking without dex

molten cobalt
#

yeah

#

thats why i did dex here

lethal grail
#

ye i have 2 red rings with dex just for speedfarming

molten cobalt
#

you used up 2 lp red rings for dex?! jesus

#

i cant even find my second lp red ring

lethal grail
#

i still have 3 spare 1lp ones

molten cobalt
#

wow

lethal grail
#

i spent a bit too much favor for ring prophecies

molten cobalt
#

spare ones i have but they are failed egg ones

lethal grail
#

unlucky

molten cobalt
#

so i keep them to reroll 1lp rings

lethal grail
#

im like 300 axes in for 3lp one too

#

at this point im scared to look odds for it

molten cobalt
#

yeah im staying 2lp cleaver

#

and 2lp twisted heart

lethal grail
#

im wondering if stormcarved isnt better

molten cobalt
#

nah

lethal grail
#

cuz i have 2lp heart lying around

#

and i think stormcarved 90% shock and pen gives more than additional str

molten cobalt
#

that 80 or whatever shock chance isnt as big as you think when you already got 500+

#

i tested it

lethal grail
#

im at 700 atm

molten cobalt
#

a 0lp heart performs the same as a 0lp stormcarved

#

pretty much identical damage on a dummy

#

but heart gives ward

#

and + skills

lethal grail
#

ward is kinda big hmm

molten cobalt
#

very much so

lethal grail
#

idc about +1 tho

molten cobalt
#

the +1 is useful for flameward

#

and focus

#

for the other skills not so much

#

useful for flame rush if you go lightning web instead of covenant arc

lethal grail
#

i guess ill just do snapshot tech so no arc

#

ill try heart

molten cobalt
#

you are not gonna max out these nodes on Focus without +skill ranks

lethal grail
#

just need to get decent exalt now ig

molten cobalt
#

and you want that DR

lethal grail
#

ye i miss 1pt for focus

molten cobalt
#

and you miss points on flame ward too

#

doubt you have this at 2/2

lethal grail
#

i do have it

molten cobalt
#

what did you skip on then

lethal grail
molten cobalt
#

50% increased lightning dmg, ok

#

not the end of the world

#

quite satisfied with this one

lethal grail
#

thats a good one

#

well rolled as well

molten cobalt
#

wish it was 16 str on base but oh well

lethal grail
#

i miss some str from unrolled pieces like

#

but its just kind of not worth rolling for me atm

molten cobalt
#

boots is my next project when i get my second lp red ring

lethal grail
#

not enough +2 legs to roll

molten cobalt
#

i only have 1lp boots

#

not sure if I would put movement speed or dex though

lethal grail
#

i also went for

#

idk if its worth

molten cobalt
#

hmm

half pollen
lethal grail
#

reliable frailty is nice and +pen also decent

molten cobalt
#

as 2lp thats not bad

#

i would still prefer exalted eternal gauntlets

#

for this

lethal grail
#

i havent foud good ones

molten cobalt
#

i bricked a pair of 3 exalted ones yesterday -_-

half pollen
#

Glove slot is a tanky slot though, so going damage there means glass canon

lethal grail
#

hmm, what can i get there apart from tank implicit

molten cobalt
#

praying for these

#

need to switch places on the exalted mods

#

to land t7 on dex then attribute swap to str

half pollen
#

Ravenous, abby gloves, eternal gauntlets

lethal grail
#

oooh right, i completely forgot about RV

#

that must be BiS for uberoth

molten cobalt
#

RV?

lethal grail
#

ravenous

#

void

molten cobalt
#

whats that

lethal grail
#

gloves

molten cobalt
#

not bad

#

where do they drop

#

aberroth?

lethal grail
#

random drop

#

also farmable in last ruin boss

half pollen
#

Boss drop too

#

Yeah

molten cobalt
#

so 2lp ones shouldnt be too hard

lethal grail
#

but very low odds

#

and hight lp2 level

#

so no 2lp

half pollen
#

Its 15% less damage and 15% less void damage taken

molten cobalt
#

ah

half pollen
#

I got lp1 with T7 mana

lethal grail
#

i think ill go for those for uberoth

half pollen
#

But took some time to get them

molten cobalt
#

Issue on aberroth isn’t damage

#

It’s staying alive, so those gloves would be good

lethal grail
#

im getting 1shot very often

#

at uberoth

molten cobalt
#

Yeah same

lethal grail
#

and without snapshotting dps is meh

molten cobalt
#

If I have enough ward at that moment I can survive the triple slam though

#

But that’s barely

lethal grail
#

so fight takes long and theres multiple ocassion for me to fk up and die

molten cobalt
#

Yeah eventually you will mess up

half pollen
#

There are days where I ask myself why I dont just play my paladin

molten cobalt
#

Paladin isn’t a mage

#

That’s why 🙂

half pollen
#

Yeah, thats the issue

molten cobalt
#

Mage all the way

half pollen
#

I have 2 100 sorcs, 2 100 runemasters and a spellblade

molten cobalt
#

Jesus

half pollen
#

Cant escape it

molten cobalt
#

I’m a one build per league kind of guy

half pollen
#

Legacy though

molten cobalt
#

Oh

#

Well that’s ok then

#

You had 3+ years to collect that

lethal grail
#

paladin is 2k hp andy

half pollen
#

I dont have the Time for league

lethal grail
#

staying in boss and facetanking

#

where fun

molten cobalt
#

Yeah it takes the skill out of it

#

Ruins the achievement

lethal grail
#

if i were to play trade than maybe id do paladin to make some monies

#

but as a CoF enjoyer

#

no way im gonna play that

molten cobalt
#

Raxx posted a guide for Uber aberroth today, I just went in and commented that he can come back when he makes the guide as a mage then left hehe

#

He was of course playing a paladin

half pollen
#

Yeah, its like a guide on doing a marathon with a car

lethal grail
#

dont get me wrong, i kinda like raxx

#

but him being lucky all the time

#

and doing vids like that

#

makes me cringe so hard

surreal pendant
#

🤔

full bluff
#

They are in the entertainement business 🙂 Youtubers/streamers I mean.

#

Many had months of early access to the test server and tested everything up-front, with off-line clients. So most stuff got worked out before release

#

So I guess the inbalances between classes and builds is done on purpose.

lethal grail
#

naaaah, game isnt ballanced cuz devs simply dont care

peak oracle
#

@molten cobalt are you using arc or plasma for uber

lethal grail
#

and its not bad thats by any means

#

LE was never balanced

surreal pendant
#

I mean its like the first time balance really "matters" in terms of stopping you from doing any of the content.

#

Cant really compete with the defensiveness or damage of the two meta sentinel builds or the damage of minions

full bluff
#

Personally I don't like balance in these type of games, more fun when you go to the extreme with no limits on stuff

peak oracle
#

any buld im looking at stacks anything but int

#

jfc

full bluff
#

I stack int on my runemaster

lethal grail
#

btw guys, can stash filter legendaries by amount of mods they have?

hearty chasm
#

i often wonder how hard it is to make a spellcasting class, Diablo, LE and POE seems to have that problem

weary hamlet
peak oracle
#

well excuse me for being new

weary hamlet
weary hamlet
full bluff
molten cobalt
#

went and took a crap

#

so clutch

peak oracle
#

alright, i will try a CoC setup, if that doesnt work Ill just have to farm some str+shock gear ig

molten cobalt
#

why does the game sometimes send me back to the start area of monoliths after completing a cemetary?

#

deleting my completion reward

#

because i left that monolith

half pollen
#

You click on the exit of your cemetary and your Portal at the same time

#

And game becomes confused

molten cobalt
#

not it

#

i always leave cemetary before portalling out

peak oracle
#

alright, str stacking it is

molten cobalt
#

chilling in corr 787 like a bandit

#

maybe i should just push straight to 1000 and be done with it

tawny steppe
fervent ledge
#

To the STR RM players , what corruption were you able to farm up to without red rings

fervent ledge
#

At least 500?

molten cobalt
#

dont need red rings at all

fervent ledge
#

Yeah but they will help at high C

#

For sure

molten cobalt
#

what red rings does for you is give you DR and makes it easier solving res

#

so if i remove my red rings i notice no diff in clearing

fervent ledge
#

That's kinda big

molten cobalt
#

they mostly help with bosses

#

where DR is soooo important

#

map clearing nah doesnt matter at all

fervent ledge
#

Regular Abby easy without them?

molten cobalt
#

i would argue this is even better for map clear speed

#

since dex boosts plasma orb damage

#

and swiftness is nice

molten cobalt
junior coral
#

wow nice

half pollen
#

Because this happens to me a lot and then I end up somewhere on the Monolith map

junior coral
molten cobalt
#

could easily go 1k+

#

everything normal insta dies

#

just by walking past it

junior coral
#

Also I gave in and just bought a super expensive (cheapest one in the list) red ring from scuffed MG to imprint, but in the meanwhile Im using 2 Carcanizations. This STR RM build is real good.

#

Can't sell the imprints, but it'll be for my build

molten cobalt
#

9k ward there for a bit

#

always nice to see

molten cobalt
junior coral
#

Has to be untagged

#

Also interesting frozen sentinel gear snapshooting in that video

molten cobalt
#

but the items that drop

#

aint bought

junior coral
#

Yeah but the item that it copied from (imprint) was bought and the game knows

molten cobalt
#

oh

#

so thats why they are so expensive

#

you cant print gold that way

#

makes sense i guess, in a way

junior coral
#

yup gotta get lucky drops first

molten cobalt
#

i think i will forever be CoF

uncut zealot
#

cof way better

molten cobalt
#

it do be that way

vast wasp
#

Might start hunting for gear for it

molten cobalt
#

where is my instant orobyss?!

#

isnt he supposed to pop up as soon as you do first map?

vast wasp
#

Sounds very cool

molten cobalt
#

go fast and everything just drops dead all around you

fierce cliff
#

yo, what happened to plasma orb build? not viable anymore?

uncut zealot
#

What lmao

fierce cliff
#

on launch plasma oreb build was one of the top builds, but right now it's not mentioned anywhere ^^

weary hamlet
fierce cliff
molten cobalt
fierce cliff
molten cobalt
#

it is still the top mage build in 1.2

#

but its not plasma orb doing the damage

fierce cliff
#

never said it's not. said it's not mentioned anywhere, as in I can't find any build guides with it

molten cobalt
#

so noone calls it plasma orb build

#

they call it brand because thats what deals the damage

fierce cliff
#

do you have a link to build by any chance?

molten cobalt
#

you can see it if you scroll like once

fierce cliff
#

meh. really hate build guide videos

fierce cliff

what corruption are you running with that?

molten cobalt
fierce cliff
#

huh, nice

molten cobalt
#

this build will go to 1000+´so easily

#

850 is literally just as fast as 100 because if stuff insta dies they cannot die faster

fierce cliff
#

okay, so it's not DoT build, which i was worried about, nice ^^ (played sentinel mostly, with plasma orb at launch a bit, so not sure how brand works)

tired hound
#

it is

molten cobalt
#

it is a dot build

fierce cliff
#

that is instantly killing stuff? I can live with that.

molten cobalt
#

yeah

#

the scaling goes nuts

#

and mind you, what is scaling the clear speed damage the most is DEX and i only got 30 dex

fierce cliff
#

launch warpath with bleed was sad DoT - mobs dying out of screen & was never sure if they dropped anything ^^

molten cobalt
#

STR is scaling the single target boss damage

#

so thats what you tend to stack

fierce cliff
#

thanks for help

Are there any Spellblade Shatter strike players out there who might give me tips on how to make my survivability better?

sharp quest
#

Heyo people, running lightning runemaster as my first character, wanted some advice as to which tree i can go for, for runic invocations

#

I've currently specialized in lighting blast, flame ward, flame rush

molten cobalt
sharp quest
#

i tried specializing static but it felt much weaker, and redundant

covert fiber
#

What would i go btween these 2

#

The ruby amulet is showing a higher dps in skill hover

#

14.8 > 16.8

scenic dock
#

to get the shock per 1 int you salvage the set item and then just put the affix shards on a new item? How do you get T7 then?

abstract zinc
harsh abyss
#

Rune of Havok

abstract zinc
molten cobalt
#

endgame is bosses and high corruption

#

you are not there yet

#

suffer might not be the correct word either

#

mage is the weakest class

#

but not necessarily weak

weary hamlet
molten cobalt
#

i do wonder...

#

if you use flame rush to trigger brand, would brand get that 50% shred?

#

oh nvm its rather useless anyway

half pollen
#

You shred the enemy, nothing to do with Brand directly

#

Brand only deals more damage when the enemy has lightning shred as a debuff

molten cobalt
#

yeah i know

#

but then i realise flame rush already applies shred 100% guaranteed

#

if you pass through

harsh abyss
#

You can also get easy lightning shred from Lagon blessing

molten cobalt
#

dont need it since flame rush swaps fire shred to lightning shred

#

besides

#

isnt lagon the shock chance one?

#

aint no way im dropping that

#

100% shock chance

harsh abyss
#

Gonna have a hard time getting max shred stacks with just flame rush, I imagine.

molten cobalt
#

probably

#

its fine though

#

alternative cost is way too high

sinful coyote
molten cobalt
#

and holy crap you were so close to dying at the end

#

multiple times

#

down to a sliver of HP

sinful coyote
#

last phase is bit random

next horizon
#

did u guys tried any other leveling than glacier ?

#

anything else can work im bored of glacier xd

peak oracle
sinful coyote
#

i'm baiting all lasers N/S for more room in last phase still almost get me

next horizon
#

trying elemental nova atm not the best idea vs bosses xd

peak oracle
#

are the lasers dependant on the lasers previously?

sinful coyote
#

it repeat all lasers b4

peak oracle
#

also did you actually skill into snapfreeze

sinful coyote
#

so you get more and more lasers every 18sec i believe

peak oracle
#

or is that like raw

sinful coyote
#

nope

#

just raw

peak oracle
#

👏

#

imma steal that

rare hedge
#

I'm using Brand of Deception, which means I need my lightning blast to cost at least 15 mana; I'm hitting that with four points in the Chain Lightning talent. But that puts me at exactly 15, which locks me out of using wands. Any other source of +cost I can use?

molten cobalt
molten cobalt
#

is that all due to that set mod on gloves?

sinful coyote
#

this node in sorc tree

molten cobalt
#

oh i see

#

i like that idea

#

the mod on gloves does nothing`?

#

since DoT cannot crit right

harsh abyss
#

Yeah

molten cobalt
#

lets see what i can sacrifice to get those

sinful coyote
#

yup but it provide better stat then normal dot inc%, 50%-60% compare to 40%-60% at T5

#

so you won't get some 40ish inc

quasi wedge
#

Crest of unity, where art thou

molten cobalt
#

it's a good idea

sinful coyote
#

i was out of FP to reroll so just slammed these on it

molten cobalt
#

i really hate how that invocation aims and tracks though

quasi wedge
#

btw, for self-cast non-channeled elemental nova, what would I like as my 5th skill?

molten cobalt
#

i stopped using it

quasi wedge
#

I have RI, nova, ward and teleport

molten cobalt
#

so i prefer aoe size on gloves

#

instead of inc damage

sinful coyote
#

tru

#

perfect prefix should be str+armor dr works on dot

#

at least i don't have it yet

molten cobalt
#

i noticed that when i swapped to lightning web i did a lot more damage to uberroth, more consistently, since flame rush aoe is quite large and it auto tracks well even if he moves

#

so even more aoe size is nice, on gloves

sinful coyote
#

lightning web is pure range

molten cobalt
#

yeah but i changed to flame rush triggering it

sinful coyote
#

it can hit up to a screen to where your cursor at

#

even via FR

molten cobalt
#

flame rush now triggers the dot

#

not invocation

sinful coyote
#

ah

#

FR lost tons of dmg tho

#

cuz we get free 50%pen from invocation

molten cobalt
#

surely i must have that one

#

yeah i do

#

hmm

#

i see what you mean

#

i didnt notice any drop in damage though

#

on dummies anyway

sinful coyote
#

so are you still using lightning web as invocation?

#

since invocation will overwritten FR dot

molten cobalt
#

i am

#

thats what i think is happening

sinful coyote
#

so you won't notice diff on single target

sharp quest
#

Ello people I just got the epilogue node for runic invocation but I don't see runic invocation being cast when I exit flame rush, could it be that i also have glyph of dominion

molten cobalt
#

i did notice my damage was more consistent though

sinful coyote
#

yea thats viable for mob clearing you triggering dot on FR

molten cobalt
#

like i wasnt missing it

sinful coyote
#

lightning web has insane target range compare to arc

molten cobalt
#

or was that placebo

#

yeah that could be it

peak oracle
#

I hope I can do this with less gear, im not keen on farming another 2 lp1 red rings

molten cobalt
#

why do people use arc then

sinful coyote
#

arc gives more dmg

#

since theres a intrinsic +100% shock chance buff for arc

molten cobalt
#

right

#

400% easily

sharp quest
#

Could anyone give some info on epilogue like is there some spell that stops runic from casting on end of flame rush >.<

sinful coyote
#

ill lose 80-100k per tick switching arc to lightning web

molten cobalt
#

what i like about lightning web though is no respec needed to swap between clearing and boss

#

just swap skills on bar

sharp quest
#

could it be cause of this

sinful coyote
#

yup thats true

#

so I changed my spec to cold flame ward for that

molten cobalt
#

not too bad

sinful coyote
#

~10% ill say but you lost potential uptime

#

cuz arc only hit 4 target

#

it depends on playstyle

#

i still prefer arc since we have may tools works only in melee range

#

chill/block/resis shred

molten cobalt
#

yeah we have to be close anyway

#

no lightning shred with cold FR though

sinful coyote
#

im using lightning FR

molten cobalt
#

you said you swapped it to cold

sinful coyote
#

i swapped flame ward to cold

molten cobalt
#

oh nvm

#

flamr ward

sinful coyote
#

yea

#

i trade 250% inc while ward active to 1000armor

molten cobalt
#

loss of 250% inc lightning dmg

#

1000 armor?

sinful coyote
#

purely defensive tool

molten cobalt
#

thats a nice tradeoff ngl

sinful coyote
molten cobalt
#

thats actually very good

#

because that gets multiplied by like 800%

#

from STR

sinful coyote
#

with this uberroth hitting 700 for the tri-smash on me

molten cobalt
#

i can already tank that, if im high up on ward

#

but its so close

#

but i like that

#

that allows you to swap to plasma without respec?

sinful coyote
#

yea

#

do fireball-FR-fireball

peak oracle
#

huh the bastion is quite rare...

sinful coyote
#

i don't need ward on 1300c rn

#

ill die to dot dmg anyway even w/ ward so

molten cobalt
#

wish i could take this too

#

that block effectiveness

#

2500

#

not sure what i would remove though

sinful coyote
#

i removed +45 ward per sec to here

#

but i doubt is that worth it

peak oracle
#

depends if you actually get hit

molten cobalt
#

Energize?

#

50% retention is pretty big though

#

i really like the idea of armor though, damage is not the issue here

harsh abyss
#

50% is good, but 50% for 4 seconds? Ehh

molten cobalt
#

huh?

harsh abyss
#

The ward retebtion from flame ward only lasts as long as flame ward is active. That 4 seconds of 50% retention isnt going to save you that much ward vs the defense that the other nodes provide.

molten cobalt
#

where does it actually say ward has a 4 sec duration?

#

i cant see that anywhere tbh

peak oracle
#

it has a 3sec base duration

molten cobalt
#

not doubting you, but i cant see it

peak oracle
#

you up it by 36%

molten cobalt
#

oh i see

#

i wasnt looking there

#

fair point

harsh abyss
#

And then 33% increased duration from the node

molten cobalt
#

didnt realise duration was so short

harsh abyss
#

Yeah

molten cobalt
#

that also puts a wet blanket over the 1k armor

peak oracle
#

its super short

#

but flame ward is like

#

super strong

#

base + the -less damage on hit node

#

alone gives you like something like 50% less damage taken

#

during it

molten cobalt
#

yeah i need to practice timing it

#

and actually using it as a oh crap button

#

instead of lets squeeze out more damage button

#

still only gives me 3/5 points in that shield node

peak oracle
#

how did yall farm bastion

#

or are ye mg

molten cobalt
#

gotta move 1 point up there

molten cobalt
half pollen
#

Just get lucky

molten cobalt
#

i even got a 2lp laying around

#

and multiple 1lp

peak oracle
#

i asked how

molten cobalt
#

the 2lp has such low STR though

half pollen
#

Kill mob, get shield

molten cobalt
#

prophecy then imprint, of course

peak oracle
#

welp

#

thats gonna be fun i guess

molten cobalt
#

if you do the unclaimed trove strategy this triggers like mad

#

and top up with this

peak oracle
#

i need to get one before

#

thats gonna be something

molten cobalt
#

how does this interact with the flame rush lightning convert?

#

hmm

#

or the flame ward lightning convert

harsh abyss
#

It converts as well

molten cobalt
#

even if ward is not up, thus it is the passive that triggers a new flame aura?

unreal blade
fair nexus
#

Anyone has a simple but effective sorc fireball build?

unreal blade

and thats the node im contemplating removing

safe mason
#

How much CDR is needed to make enchant weapon perma uptime?

sinful coyote

T7+T5 should do the work

#

double T5 you still have ~1sec downtime

it kinda sucks in high c

defensive wise

worn valley
#

My defensive atm arent great either, sustaining about 5k ward while mapping but doesnt feel like enough

#

i think i shattered some set item that peaked my interest in lightning meteor but i cant for the life of my find the shards in my shard tab

sinful coyote
#

or the managuide blackhole

#

but i feel its just mini str RM

worn valley
#

i watched the blackhole video earlier by dreadful i think, i didnt seem interesting to me

#

i just miss meteors rainign everywhere lol

#

seen your scrrenshot, what are you playing to push 1850?

but meteors are just mediocre rn

forgive me but ive no idea what that is lol

#

instead of stack shit tons of ignite stack

#

RM put one dot stuffed with shit tons of buffs

Ah yes, sorry the RM threw me, I initially tried levelling as that following Frozens guide, for some reason i couldnt get get it to work at the switch around lvl 26 so abandoned for glacier

#

ive seen its good late game though

Long range, fast, slow big hits...

Why does my Mourning frost increase my dps by 1% compared to my 12 dex boots, when i have 54 dex that should add 54 base cold dmg no?

shy harness
#

@full bluff Slow big hits, I like my hits to feel hefty. Maybe some explosions. Minion wise, I prefer a less is more approach but every one ive tried has something im not to keen on :P Raptor is my most recent but its so....single target.

also got this, IDK what to do with it

like 500-800c is def doable

uberroth i think prob nope

junior coral

who bought all the 1lp bastion of honours off AH i can't even finish this build now

#

how important is block effectiveness

sinful coyote

im clearing uberroth with the snapshotting after practice 3days

#

and still feel lacking dps

safe mason
junior coral
#

i literally might actually not be able to complete this build there is none of this on AH

sinful coyote

shatterblade should struggle on survive more than dps imo

No its fine, yeah think so too

junior coral
sinful coyote
#

yup

#

i feel i can still push higher but not today

junior coral
#

insane

sinful coyote

im still face tanking most of mechs

but dot dmg is killing me in a blink after 1700c

#

(also time to die while typing/browsing nemesis/afk reduced from 5sec to prob 2sec)

quasi wedge
#

I've been thinking

#

maybe put mana strike as 5th skill?

#

that way when I have runic energy for spell cascade

#

I have 1/2 chance of proccing it

for 48 mana

#

alternative is using something like focus or static
