no i mean last row
and why socket that one
@harsh abysshey quick question, would you mind if i dm you so i can get some insight to your gordian prism build?
okay, it showed up. it does work. Yeah i know that one sucks, i was just testing 😄
Sure
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?
The interaction is to not interact with the special effect of the item at all, just use the stats on it
ah okay
Weaver tree lets you get dungeon drops from echoes now
uhh well shit something happened with gold duping and 1 lp red rings are 800million mininum now.
RIP
thats why you dont go MG
even if you dont RMT, others do
so you end up fked because of others
if you do MG
is this build good or a meme,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8PiTDJ4IWgE&t=1527s
giving up already huh
its not a build issue, it is a you issue
with the STR stacker
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 😄
why cant you complete it
you dont need red rings
altough it will probably be 6billion by next week
i know. i like finishing builds tho in arpgs usually
CoF gets red rings easily
yeah im too lazy to reroll factions just wanna finish a build
define complete lol
you trying to get evreything 4lp with perfect stats etc?
or just get the base uniques and call it good
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
gl lol
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
since statics range is doubled
Would building up charges with static and unleashing it be viable now?
such is life
they were so lovely
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 >.<
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?
So basically if I have 1000 mana, I will get 150 flat damage and 95% crit chance to mana strike for 4 skill points?
Yeah, but mana strike has no good multipliers and bad damage effectiveness
Are any flame spellblade builds usable? Curious for a build idea
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
Any time a specializable skill is triggered, it uses the tree for that skill
i think "Final Spark" node either only works with Sparks applied by Lightning Blast or doesnt work at all, but thanks for stating the obv
I mean if it doesn't, that's a bug
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?
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
Fireball and lightning blast are both good choices. Fireball built for crit and taking the ash born nodes / Mana back on fireball. And lightning blast if you build it for crit/ward and go vilatrias is also great
all the items u get also went up by hella so u can just sell em for way more than their worth now ?
anyone made a spellblade build using eternal eclipse?
does anyone have a decent loot filter for this build? Updated with uniques? https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/frostbite-frost-claw-sorcerer-guide#changelog-header
the most unexpected absolutely expected development
its been viable for a while now, at least ever since they made dagorath's claw
sell your asshole to satan
never even heard of such, you might as well be the first
I would, but he wont buy it
doesnt seem good since as sb you cant even trigger the void part
not to mention that it isnt even good on sentinel where you can do that
yes but I used it with EQ before with no void part https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_3UkFIdATA
video of it
it wasnt like S tier A tier
but it was fine
yes but EQ was hilariously busted before this patch's nerfs, that's not very indicative of anythign on SB
Less about making a busted build and more interested in making a build that works using something that isnt done that much
yea sure go for it, but as I said above, never seen anything like this before
ofc, was just curious if people have
think it'd be cool
your turn to be the daring explorer
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
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
How is your shock chance? And what do you use to apply brand?
Static can be a very easy Brand applicator before you have any scaling since it has 800% more damage with 200 stacks
Static is the skill
You need a skill with lots of more multipliers for brand
procking from fire lightning fire rune
Then you want a criterion and stack some stats
And check your shock chance, that one is very important for brand
I see
ill check later
thanks for the tips
I knew something was lacking, coz the video i saw , it melts mobs and bosses
Lightning penetration with invocations is also are very strong affix to have on chest or helmet
100% shock chance is already 7 times damage
Is this good for enchant weapon? I am Spelblade (Flame Rave build)
obviously it's good if you are in an ignite build, not good if you are in a normal direct damage build
i mean im half that half that i think. I deal a lot of direct dmg and dmg over time.
does this drop from prophecies ?
someone already aswered on this thanks
Can anyone explain what volley of glass (frost claw) does? it increases my manacost a lot but im not really sure if its good
makes so that all of your frost claw bolts can shotgun a single target
What is the best weapon setup to be defensive as mage please ?
is that the 2h flame ward staff
or any catalyst ward ?
Its probably a shield
rly ? I tried on planner u cant rly go higher than 60% block chance
and then u should scale effectiveness
60% block chance is still a lot better than almost nothing from a catalyst
tbh idk how impactful is 14 int ward retention + passives sorcerer and also 100 ward per sec
The new dot shield with a T7 effectivenes slapped onto it is probably the easiest defense. Or you go strength stack with bastion
nah bastion doesnt fit in my build
tyvm one of the rare channel where people actually answer to random questions
Besides weapons you just need to stack defense layers. Red rings, ravenous, damage dealt to mana, endurance. Whatever fits your build
understood I saw a lot of people playing chronowarp is that rly good ?
You mean wrongwarp?
yessir
it's good if you can avoid getting annoyed by random teleports
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
does anyone know if this can loop on itself? Like can I get more fire auras by killing enemies with fire aura?
sure it's a fire skill
anyone playing static orb mana stacking? Is it good for end-game?
is there any uberoth viable mage build out there?
yes
Its not a walk in the park like paladin though
one guy made it look fairly effortless though
a runebolt build
yeah his gear is insane
runemaster brand of deception build can do it too with less gear requirement
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
ye i was thinking about that one
the medusa one
I wish I could use that on my reowyns fortress build 🥲
i got uber aberroth down to the forrest phase, where platform changes
so damage is totally fine
i just need to learn the mechanics
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
Good thing my mana stacker runemaster has like 1.3k endurance threshold. But it deals no damage 
i feel squishy when fighting uber abby too
i might try the medusa shield, i have a 2lp one laying around
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 ?
so there’s like 2-3 nodes that give global shock chance, + items. Is that it ?
yeah items and idols give a ton
the set helmet is big
1% shock chance per 1 int
so that one does nothing ?
is this... decent?
Covenant invocation grants shock chance too
the single target invocation gives 100% shock chance per trigger
up to 400%
yeah covenant
what’s the single target invocation ? runic invocation ?
convenant arc
Technically unlimited
nothing, correct
But its hard to get more out in 4 seconds
theoretically unlimited, technically limited
I wonder how much you get with runebolt and cast speed
Covenant Arc is Freeze Freez Lightning. Alright
you should aim for around 500% shock chance plain unbuffed
thats where people seem to end up at with decent gear
550% ish
got a reference?
Its also quite easy to make a simple spreadsheet for Brand to compare shock chance, elemental damage over time, penetration and strength
ok I’m only level 63 and no gear. So no real damage from brand
myself, i just need to learn mechanics, but damage is definitely there
it actualy deals nice dmg at that lvl even without gear
one thing that helped me a ton was not using covenant arc on uber aberroth
Brand doesnt really need gear to get going though, its a pretty smooth way to endgame imo
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
well, dont look at mage then 😄
mage does not have a proper uber build
just builds that can do it, with lots of effort
im fine with effort
im not fine with 30min of hitless gameplay effort
my current build
thats the only gameplay mage gets when it comes to uberoth
at least for me
and i find my build decently built
30min is a bit steep, but it will take a fair bit of time yes
sad part is even with uberoth relic and gloves i dont think it will get much better
at my current dps its going to take longer than 30 actually
so yeah
i need a new build
yes you do
if regular aberroth takes you 4min like you said yesterday you need a new build
then your damage is too low
self cast meteor just isnt there
also @molten cobalt you playing brand runemaster?
Yeah he plays strength stack brand
yes
what new tech
ah yes the snap shotting
yeee
yes
i wouldnt rly call it a snapshot too
it is
kind of is
Isnt it the wall that snapshots the duration?
ye, also buff stays after proc
Imo that whole 30% more damage per second node should go into the trash. Its too strong and too clunky
its not too strong if you have to manually use it
because manually using it is so freakin clunky itself
noone actually does that
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
he says if you manually cast runic invocation you lose it
i did not know this
i wonder why though
spaghetti code i suppose
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
ye i have 2 red rings with dex just for speedfarming
i still have 3 spare 1lp ones
wow
i spent a bit too much favor for ring prophecies
spare ones i have but they are failed egg ones
unlucky
so i keep them to reroll 1lp rings
im wondering if stormcarved isnt better
nah
cuz i have 2lp heart lying around
and i think stormcarved 90% shock and pen gives more than additional str
that 80 or whatever shock chance isnt as big as you think when you already got 500+
i tested it
im at 700 atm
a 0lp heart performs the same as a 0lp stormcarved
pretty much identical damage on a dummy
but heart gives ward
and + skills
ward is kinda big hmm
very much so
idc about +1 tho
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
you are not gonna max out these nodes on Focus without +skill ranks
just need to get decent exalt now ig
and you want that DR
ye i miss 1pt for focus
i do have it
what did you skip on then
50% increased lightning dmg, ok
not the end of the world
quite satisfied with this one
wish it was 16 str on base but oh well
i miss some str from unrolled pieces like
or
but its just kind of not worth rolling for me atm
not enough +2 legs to roll
hmm
I already have exalted Boots with T7 movespeed and T7 dex, just need to find some 2lp blood boots
reliable frailty is nice and +pen also decent
i havent foud good ones
i bricked a pair of 3 exalted ones yesterday -_-
Glove slot is a tanky slot though, so going damage there means glass canon
hmm, what can i get there apart from tank implicit
praying for these
need to switch places on the exalted mods
to land t7 on dex then attribute swap to str
Ravenous, abby gloves, eternal gauntlets
RV?
whats that
so 2lp ones shouldnt be too hard
Its 15% less damage and 15% less void damage taken
ah
I got lp1 with T7 mana
i think ill go for those for uberoth
But took some time to get them
Yeah same
and without snapshotting dps is meh
If I have enough ward at that moment I can survive the triple slam though
But that’s barely
so fight takes long and theres multiple ocassion for me to fk up and die
Yeah eventually you will mess up
There are days where I ask myself why I dont just play my paladin
Yeah, thats the issue
Mage all the way
I have 2 100 sorcs, 2 100 runemasters and a spellblade
Jesus
Cant escape it
I’m a one build per league kind of guy
Legacy though
paladin is 2k hp andy
I dont have the Time for league
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
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
Yeah, its like a guide on doing a marathon with a car
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
🤔
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.
naaaah, game isnt ballanced cuz devs simply dont care
@molten cobalt are you using arc or plasma for uber
Neither
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
Personally I don't like balance in these type of games, more fun when you go to the extreme with no limits on stuff
I stack int on my runemaster
btw guys, can stash filter legendaries by amount of mods they have?
i often wonder how hard it is to make a spellcasting class, Diablo, LE and POE seems to have that problem
fundamental criterion is a fundamentally dumb item, other news at 11
well excuse me for being new
not sure what you mean here, LE has plenty of "spellcasting classes" including mage
more that the developers fail to see anything wrong with that item for 2 years now
I think the default screen size is too small in most of those games, to play effective as caster. I use a ultra wide screen and the difference is insane for caster/ranged
alright, i will try a CoC setup, if that doesnt work Ill just have to farm some str+shock gear ig
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
You click on the exit of your cemetary and your Portal at the same time
And game becomes confused
alright, str stacking it is
chilling in corr 787 like a bandit
maybe i should just push straight to 1000 and be done with it
i mean arguably it's a guide for the majority of the playerbase lol
To the STR RM players , what corruption were you able to farm up to without red rings
yes
any
At least 500?
dont need red rings at all
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
That's kinda big
they mostly help with bosses
where DR is soooo important
map clearing nah doesnt matter at all
Regular Abby easy without them?
i would argue this is even better for map clear speed
since dex boosts plasma orb damage
and swiftness is nice
30 seconds for me, ish
wow nice
Do you click the entry and your Portal at the same time then? 
Because this happens to me a lot and then I end up somewhere on the Monolith map
nop
How does this guy keep comming up with LE science,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jydAeeJwko0&t=2s
this is corr 850 and as you see im just chilling
could easily go 1k+
everything normal insta dies
just by walking past it
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
you cant?!
If the item was bought from AH, nope.
Has to be untagged
Also interesting frozen sentinel gear snapshooting in that video
Yeah but the item that it copied from (imprint) was bought and the game knows
oh
so thats why they are so expensive
you cant print gold that way
makes sense i guess, in a way
yup gotta get lucky drops first
i think i will forever be CoF
cof way better
it do be that way
I've been looking for a mage build to do, what build is even that xD
Might start hunting for gear for it
STR stacking brand T-poser
where is my instant orobyss?!
isnt he supposed to pop up as soon as you do first map?
Sounds very cool
it's like a diablo 4 evade spiritborn, the OG un-nerfed version
go fast and everything just drops dead all around you
yo, what happened to plasma orb build? not viable anymore?
What lmao
on launch plasma oreb build was one of the top builds, but right now it's not mentioned anywhere ^^
its not the best build by a mile anymore so arpg players will no longer play it
eh what?
which part did you not understand?
you being so misinformed
eh what?
never said it's not. said it's not mentioned anywhere, as in I can't find any build guides with it
so noone calls it plasma orb build
they call it brand because thats what deals the damage
do you have a link to build by any chance?
@fierce cliff how about right here, 20 min ago
you can see it if you scroll like once
there's 5 or 6 versions in that video alone
with links to loudouts
but trust me, people are stupid, if you just link gear people wouldn't get it

@fierce cliff
huh, nice
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
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)
it is
it is a dot build
that is instantly killing stuff? I can live with that.
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
launch warpath with bleed was sad DoT - mobs dying out of screen & was never sure if they dropped anything ^^
thanks for help
Are there any Spellblade Shatter strike players out there who might give me tips on how to make my survivability better?
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
I suggest following a guide, mage as an entire class isn’t doing great at the moment so if you do some homebrew unoptimised build you’re gonna suffer
i tried specializing static but it felt much weaker, and redundant
oof
What would i go btween these 2
The ruby amulet is showing a higher dps in skill hover
14.8 > 16.8
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?
when exactly should the mage start to suffer? lvl 83 and still one shot everything.
wonder when exactly the difficulty starts
Rune of Havok
campaign is easy by design
mean mono.
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
above like 500 corr, before it more or less any reasonable build will be viable
i do wonder...
if you use flame rush to trigger brand, would brand get that 50% shred?
oh nvm its rather useless anyway
You shred the enemy, nothing to do with Brand directly
Brand only deals more damage when the enemy has lightning shred as a debuff
yeah i know
but then i realise flame rush already applies shred 100% guaranteed
if you pass through
You can also get easy lightning shred from Lagon blessing
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
Gonna have a hard time getting max shred stacks with just flame rush, I imagine.
https://youtu.be/jPsetFiBWkM made it
very nice!
and holy crap you were so close to dying at the end
multiple times
down to a sliver of HP
last phase is bit random
did u guys tried any other leveling than glacier ?
anything else can work im bored of glacier xd
nice tech
i'm baiting all lasers N/S for more room in last phase still almost get me
trying elemental nova atm not the best idea vs bosses xd
are the lasers dependant on the lasers previously?
it repeat all lasers b4
also did you actually skill into snapfreeze
so you get more and more lasers every 18sec i believe
or is that like raw
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?
dont lock yourself to only using lightning blast
i was wondering how the hell you stayed full hp at all times even with twisted heart
is that all due to that set mod on gloves?
this node in sorc tree
oh i see
i like that idea
the mod on gloves does nothing`?
since DoT cannot crit right
Yeah
lets see what i can sacrifice to get those
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
Crest of unity, where art thou
ye i noticed that
it's a good idea
i was out of FP to reroll so just slammed these on it
i really hate how that invocation aims and tracks though
btw, for self-cast non-channeled elemental nova, what would I like as my 5th skill?
i stopped using it
I have RI, nova, ward and teleport
tru
perfect prefix should be str+armor dr works on dot
at least i don't have it yet
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
lightning web is pure range
yeah but i changed to flame rush triggering it
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
so are you still using lightning web as invocation?
since invocation will overwritten FR dot
so you won't notice diff on single target
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
i did notice my damage was more consistent though
yea thats viable for mob clearing you triggering dot on FR
like i wasnt missing it
lightning web has insane target range compare to arc
I hope I can do this with less gear, im not keen on farming another 2 lp1 red rings
why do people use arc then
Could anyone give some info on epilogue like is there some spell that stops runic from casting on end of flame rush >.<
ill lose 80-100k per tick switching arc to lightning web
what i like about lightning web though is no respec needed to swap between clearing and boss
just swap skills on bar
could it be cause of this
so less than 10%
not too bad
~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
im using lightning FR
you said you swapped it to cold
i swapped flame ward to cold
purely defensive tool
thats a nice tradeoff ngl
with this uberroth hitting 700 for the tri-smash on me
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?
huh the bastion is quite rare...
wish i could take this too
that block effectiveness
2500
not sure what i would remove though
depends if you actually get hit
which one
Energize?
50% retention is pretty big though
i really like the idea of armor though, damage is not the issue here
50% is good, but 50% for 4 seconds? Ehh
huh?
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.
where does it actually say ward has a 4 sec duration?
i cant see that anywhere tbh
it has a 3sec base duration
not doubting you, but i cant see it
And then 33% increased duration from the node
didnt realise duration was so short
Yeah
that also puts a wet blanket over the 1k armor
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
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
gotta move 1 point up there
easily
Just get lucky
i asked how
the 2lp has such low STR though
Kill mob, get shield
prophecy then imprint, of course
if you do the unclaimed trove strategy this triggers like mad
and top up with this
how does this interact with the flame rush lightning convert?
hmm
or the flame ward lightning convert
It converts as well
even if ward is not up, thus it is the passive that triggers a new flame aura?
frozen was doing 1k on his MG reroll mage last night with no red rings.
Anyone has a simple but effective sorc fireball build?
flame rush gives 5 on pass through if lightning, then we have fire aura converted to lightning with the shred node in spellblade. it's not perfect uptime but you should have 5-10 stacks regularly.
How much CDR is needed to make enchant weapon perma uptime?
So I assume boots and ?
worth speccing flame wall just to make flame ward 12s CD?
wrist
Thank oyu
it only add 12s cd to wall instead changing ward
Is there any good spellblade guides besides the one on maxroll? I'm not a fan of the bloody nib build
I'm making use of it right now. What about it is putting you off, if you don't mind me asking?
spark spellblade is still good. defenses nerfed a bit, offense buffed a bit in s2. should be able to handle 700-800c.

Idk I just feel really squishy even compared to my barely geared swarmblade lol. I think it's the bleed from nib yeah?
Spark charge spellblade by pokerkid that dread posted has been one of my favorite builds ive ever played so I'll check this out. Thanks!
mine was inspired by pokerkid's version, but i cut firebrand from it cause i hate buff maintenance.
I'm pretty sure physical resistance can be used to make up for it. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm capped at physical resist wearing Nib right now and I can barely feel the effects of bleed even at 20 stacks. Not to mention, it wears off almost immediately after an encounter.
don't you end up with way way more than 20 stacks on a boss?
Do spark charges count as a skill? it says it's a spell. Im wondering if crit chance with lightning spells works with them
yes
There's a node on Enchant weapon that cleanses ailments on skill activation that I have on autocast.
but then you are removing your dps increase, the reason to run nib in the first place
True, but then I build up the stacks back to what it was before in 2 seconds.
I feel like adding more ramp to your ramp is not a great idea
I'm even considering saving the point allocated to that node, because I honestly couldn't feel the effects of bleed.
see told you it wasnt hard
with decent attack speed i would guess you get into the hundreds of bleed stacks
Easily, yes.
Especially on a stationary boss.
it cost me like 70k favor lol
What mage build stands a good chance at Uberroth, by the way?
it's not easy on any of them. so far i think we have kills on shatterstrike, strength RM, and hydra RM. maybe others i don't know of.
runebolt RM too
i think you're referring to hydra RM
i dont think i saw any hydras
then what was doing the damage
lol emmmmmmm Double T7... Holy god... Plus t1 health
certainly not runebolt
yeah i was surprised too
I guess this relic can be used on a cold mage build
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F82A4yhLVCc this one @unreal blade
hydrahedron
farming whole day for Crest of Unity+unstable core...saw 0
though "farming" is a strong word, more like limping along in low-tier monos
I should probably farm those up on an alt right?
my alt can go through empowered monos
1500c lets go
do any mage builds need dexterity?
shatterstrike scales with dexterity
how to play merchants guilds
thanks

Cof?

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/umichan/character/umichan_ char profile cuz i just figure out how to share it lmao
Do you have a link for the SB video? I'd appreciate it greatly.
no sorry
I'm playing offline and looking for mage advice. Is int stacking decent at all? Or do I need very specific items? And what should I use runes of ascendence on while leveling?
Is anyone here MG?
Man i love shatter strike, my damage is nutz but i fall over just as fast haha
Does anyone have a trick for farming red ring? I just need the very first one to drop.
No I'm just wondering if I'm the only mage dumb enough to have done this lol
How long does a season last in LE
You can switch factions anytime.
Yeah but they sounds really annoying tbh.
cof? 0LP red ring is around 200k favor target farming unique ring for rank12 CoF
Better than suffering through an entire season tho.
How would I target farm bastion of honor on cof
Oof. I'm quite a long way away from R12 but thank you. I'll keep working on getting there. How does that target farming work, by the way?
use lens with double drop/double completion/more rings, on average you spend 560ish favor per unique ring
(on rank 12)
Thank you. I'd best be hoarding favor until R12 then.
no but my current build can use it
i did it on a 300 lol
can this swap sealed affixes too?
anione tried?
863 for me
how long did it take you
it took me 30min
doubt it, but not tried
what the hell
took me a few minutes
3 maybe?
nah not even
smh
does LE have hot swap skill bars?
not really?
atleast not from what i know
unless you manual click during fight?
we love nemesis
double ring + unique is better for me at least. 549.5
there is an excel sheet for this
yea
oh my sheet was defaulted to rank 10 somehow
271 with double ring + unique. will have to try the others again now
yeah my setup is still best for the prophecies i'm willing to do.
spellblade stharsttrike?
only spellblade gets it
nice
Im currently playing this (I know outdated and nerfed but i really enjoyed it) Is there anyway to make this viable again for pushing higher corruptions? Currently at 360 and i can feel it starting to fall off, or do i just swap build? What's our best options for pushing high corruption this league? cheers
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
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?
forgive me but ive no idea what that is lol
str stacking brand of deception runemaster
Lightning blast with convergence is pretty good
playstyle similar to blackhole sorc
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
Is Runemaster any fun? Im really unsure on what build to play in Last Epoch been all over the place >.>
Minion player at my core but I cant find a minion build I wanna stick to lol.
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?
@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.
wait does red ring work in the upper left I thought thats only for Exalted
Sorry can't help you much, mostly play fast hitting builds myself, but there is a hydra build for runemaster that is kinda minion like with big hits
you might be right actually, i just slapped it in every slot without checking
@full bluff Ooo a hydra?
Thank you. c:
anyone know why?
dang
I’m who
2nd exsanginous from ascendance rune
for STR rm are RI levels important
hows the dmg on the t-pose build (without snapshotting) ?
w/o is bad ngl
really? too bad then 😦
who bought all the 1lp bastion of honours off AH i can't even finish this build now
how important is block effectiveness
im clearing uberroth with the snapshotting after practice 3days
and still feel lacking dps
Just for interest sake. I have a T6(25%) and T7(30%) and still like a second of downtime but will have to do
i literally might actually not be able to complete this build there is none of this on AH
idk tbh, i dont thik 1sec downtime will make that big diff, unless you are pushing to some dps limit
shatterblade should struggle on survive more than dps imo
No its fine, yeah think so too
wow still as STR RM?
insane
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)
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
Are you guys finding mage squishy af
Without good gear it is squishy yes
Whats "good gear"? I have pretty good gear but 6k ehp still feels awful
https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/oNKeOpNA this is what I am working on to try build some "tank" without loosing too much damage, not easy, compared to having played paladin...
