[pseudo wolf]

i as thinking about fireball build, i am new player and it looks so bad on damage

[celest rain]

But also more importantly the Fireball casts won't count as Mana spent to Ward.

Double Stream does.

At least, I'm pretty sure it won't.

[boreal widget]

It is, but -30% damage on double beam is rough. Net you shoot two beams for 70% damage (140%) while glass cannon is one beam for 220% damage

[cosmic dove]

not memeing about changing your build but that is what I am liking about the zero cost lightning disintegrate
it lets you pick up all the damage nodes that increase cost and you don't care about the cost

[celest rain]

I assume Mana Spent has to be directly casted and not incidental.

[pseudo wolf]

is possible to fireball deal good damage ? i am playing volcanic orb and it looks much better

[celest rain]

I don't want Zero Cost Disintegrate though, I want hella cost for a shit load of Ward.

[boreal widget]

Flamethrower

[dawn aspen]

login server dead?

[celest rain]

Searing Plasma is 3 points that get you to Double stream which negates the dmg loss.

[boreal widget]

It doesn't specify direct casting so it should count any method of mana spent

[celest rain]

Mmmm

Maybe

I didn't think it would but I could be wrong.

[pseudo wolf]

what is it ? i am new

[boreal widget]

Cool thing about that is if you don't grab the fireball thing you can get searing plasma :>

Which makes it a 300% damage beam (220% -> x1.3 -> 286%)

[celest rain]

I'm not sold on the fireball idea

Most of my damage boosts are channeled and dot boosts

Fireball benefits from none of those.

[boreal widget]

Its just something fun. I was running it for a bit but black hole did so much damage I swapped off it

[celest rain]

Whereas a second Disintegrate beam does.

The Fire Aura idea is good

The Meteor idea is good

This idea.... meeeeeeehhh

[boreal widget]

fireball is for dots not damage

[pseudo wolf]

There are any item that can give Volcanic Orb level ?

[celest rain]

Uh, true I guess

[celest rain]

That is a lot of Ingites

[boreal widget]

Its a modifier on Relic

[cosmic dove]

it's a Fireball node

[pseudo wolf]

looks nice

i will test

[boreal widget]

Devours your mana tho

[celest rain]

Also you're giving up Ascendance.... which is... ehhhhh.

[pseudo wolf]

i know there are an item that you gain fame ward on channeling

it will work ?

[cosmic dove]

he could use meteor mana battery to get it back!
all ideas are circular

[devout pecan]

Don't forget the most important issue for any disintegrate build : the beam is awful
Like really awful. It is blocked by any kind of stairs, sometimes doesn't hit right... This is the reason I hate the skill

I want to love it, but it's so janky

[boreal widget]

Ascendance is additive so its not actually giving you much damage outside of the bonus damage to slowed enemies =/

The irony is because disitegrate is a damage over time and not a hit, it can't even stack up the slow from ascendance

[celest rain]

Everything else will

[boreal widget]

you mean meteor?

[celest rain]

Fire Aura

[boreal widget]

Because flame aura is also damage over time and wont stack it

[celest rain]

oh wait that's a DoT

hm

Also wait

[boreal widget]

Welcome to the suffering that is damage over time builds on mage

[celest rain]

The slow application does not say "on hit"

It just says spells and skills apply it

[boreal widget]

Easy enough to test at the arena

[lost siren]

So how do youse feel about the Maxroll build and tier list for mage this season.

[boreal widget]

Who's this Maxroll guy

[lost siren]

lol. Famous jebediah maxroll

[celest rain]

Well, I will say that if you have Fireball, it means I could take a lot of points out of pyro

that's... a thing technically

.>

[boreal widget]

the nice thing is that you'll always have to move eventually and teleport. Each time you do you shoot out a wave of fireballs. Its free damage

Its a little weird if you have them set to fire in sequence, I prefer visual if I turn off the sequence part and let them go free in all directions

there, if I'm ever absurdly loaded

Ok so what current not glitched build can do like normal aberroth. Or uber if that’s a thing

[boreal widget]

Almost any build can eventually do aberroth if optimized well enough. Uber I'm less sure on

[boreal widget]

Now to make a cheaper version

[celest rain]

rofl

And you don't even have to equip Fireball

You could still pick asencdance

oh I forgot to put it on disintegrate derp

Twin Stream AND the Fireball thing

And now I'm OOM in 0.2 seconds

Are you happy now? ARE YOU?!

Takes Focus to regen mana even with no points in it

This build is now spamming Disintigrate, Fire Auras, Meteors, and Fireballs.

This is the monster we've created

[lost siren]

Does it work tho lol

[celest rain]

I mean.... depends if it can keep mana up lol

That additional Fireball spam might sink it

[weary hamlet]

on the surface using it over a staff seems to be a ~20 spell power trade off for +6 levels, where the levels seem to be better, but idk

[boreal widget]

You can change it to fire less fireballs that pierce but at 0 mana cost.

[celest rain]

Could just make it 1 or 2 points in the Disintegrate talent

depending on how mana upkeep is going

But ye

That was the nice thing about Ascendence is it is a damage boost at the cost of 0 mana

That scaled infinitely

Fireball... not so much

[boreal widget]

Additively and very slowly unfortunately. Worse if it doesn't stack slow =/

[celest rain]

I wouldn't hate the idea of the fireball trick and just not having it on the castbar

and just using Focus instead

Still getting the 500-600 armour from blessings while channeling Focus even with 0 points in it

And still getting the mana

also still the channeling spell shiz for your AoEs and dots

It also technically frees up points from Pyromancer to put in Dragon Breath

Which is more AoE for Fire Aura

Ah shit if I use Fireball I can have armour Shred on hit as well now....

Fuk

@boreal widget now that we've gone down this road, the real question is there even a point to all the ignite's fireball will trigger that'll only last for 2.5 seconds O.o

I guess free dmg

[sinful coyote]

push uberroth to sub 2min with mirror bolt, gonna try if that's possible w/o shattered world

but that build only works bc of frost wall snapshotting?

[sinful coyote]

still works w/o but lower dmg

swap fireball back to frostwall > 3frostwall > 3runebolt > flamerush

dmg prob cut by 1/3 or half

[solemn viper]

Tp+meteor and then you do disintegrate, I’m keeping mana up that way and I got double beam and only fire damage

Idk if you add fireballs tho

[celest rain]

The Fireballs are what's gonna kill it lol

Well, potentially

14 Mana every time you cancel disintegrate

or potentially 28 or 42 depending on how many points you have in the skill

Well.. less with Lucomancer I suppose

Two casts = 21 mana, 12 fireballs.

[solemn viper]

Wait why so much mana for fireball?

[celest rain]

All of the nodes to cast additional fireballs per cast

Because the whole point is to use them to stack Ignite/Shred

[cosmic dove]

is that with the craterborn adjacent node giving 6 mana per fireball?

[solemn viper]

Mh yeah not even paired with craterborn?

[celest rain]

Uh, no actually didn't account for that

[cosmic dove]

omg I thought of something

[celest rain]

I'm also not sure if Mountain boot -6 cost would apply

Because it depends if the cast happens before or after that buff wears off

I don't know which one occurs first

[harsh abyss]

@cosmic dove I was thinking about the void tag on collapse, and that probably contributes to why it's damage is so bad. That means that any added spell damage (from a wand or whatever) will get added as void damage, which means ONLY the 15 base cold damage will get scaled up by increases to cold or elemental damage. The rest of the damage will be void damage, which won't get any of that scaling.

[cosmic dove]

I think it might have been a quick coding thing
since BH and therefore collapse can switch from cold to fire and kinda both

definitely seems like an oversight/bug though

[harsh abyss]

Yeah, I bet it's from a LONG time ago and just has never been fixed

[celest rain]

I really want to ask a Dev now what happens if you cancel Disintegrate (w/ Flame Vent) by moving while wearing Foot of the Mountain, does the Cost Reduction wear off before Fireball is cast, or is it the other way around?

Also how the hell do you do the cast order of this...

Teleport -> Meteor -> Disintegrate I guess

But then you have to cancel the Disintegrate within 4 seconds and repeat to get full benefit of the Ignite/Shred stacks from Fireball.

[cosmic dove]

you are going to want to do that anyway to refresh craterborn

[celest rain]

Sorta, Crater lasts 6 seconds

[boreal widget]

The heck, should I imprint and then use copies to gamble with redemption/havok?

[boreal widget]

Dont min max fireball, its just free on the side. Laser of doom hits harder

[celest rain]

I will max it til my fingers bleed O.o

2.5 second rotations.

Teleport -> Meteor -> Disintegrate -> Wait 2 seconds -> Repeat

NO REST

[celest rain]

I mean, then I should be using Ascendance ;P

[molten cobalt]

no

you wont actually get many with the t7

same if you imprint 7-7-6 item, you'll almost only be getting 7-6 from that imprint

so a 7-6 exalt is better to imprint than a 7-6-6

[boreal widget]

D:

I literally haven't seen a 7-6, its only 7 and 7-6-6

[molten cobalt]

well

imprint that 7-6-6 and all you will see is 6-6

with a very rare 7-6

[boreal widget]

or 6-6-6

What about 7-7? I appearently got one of those I forgot about (somehow)

[molten cobalt]

7-7 is great to imprint

you'll get a bunch of 7-7

with as high FP as possible

[boreal widget]

Will it randomize the affix or will I need to redemption the ones that drop and pray?

I'm trying to swap to lightning meteors (I'm starting to struggle at 400 corruption with black hole build) and have this imprinted right now trying to get a staff

[molten cobalt]

mostly random

it tries to copy the item but almost never succeeds

but very often you end up with 1-2 of the same affix and tier

just might not be the same t7

[boreal widget]

lmao I forgot I got a sealed T7 weapon while trying to grind a 2h sword to slam

[molten cobalt]

imprint wise thats just a single t7

[boreal widget]

Yea, sealed doesn't count

[molten cobalt]

to give you an example

i imprinted this one

almost every single 7-7 one i dropped had t2 health

that one has t5 health, so it didnt copy the tier but it kept copying the affix

and many of them had t7 movement speed

[boreal widget]

I see, I'm trying to focus more on ensuring its also a high FP too when imprinting right?

[molten cobalt]

that is very important yes

[boreal widget]

This would be a good start till I get one with more FP. I can't use a unique helm so should prob start there

[molten cobalt]

yeah thats great

[boreal widget]

The upper left one only changes sealed affix yea? Should prob just slot a T7 with the affix I want sealed and pray in case it one day maybe drops

[molten cobalt]

the champion imprint one?

not quite

[boreal widget]

Since I can't use a unique staff/helm, help would be best I guess

No?

I thought it took a look at the 4 affixes, and sealed one at random, up to max it is on imprinted item, on a randomized set of similar items.

So the drop is entirely random, but will have a sealed affix based on the imprinted item

[molten cobalt]

well yes

i didnt understand your first sentence then

[boreal widget]

To make sure I'm right. This would drop 4 staffs with one of the 4 affixes sealed onto it, up to their current max?

[molten cobalt]

i thought you meant it will always copy the sealed mod

[molten cobalt]

no, not 4 items

1 item with mostly random stats except one of those stats carry over and is sealed

but getting a sealed t7 must be rare because i have never seen it, from the imprint

got this one imprinted and i have seen up to t5 vilatria mod many times

but never t6 or t7

[boreal widget]

Oh, I was referring to this.

[molten cobalt]

never gotten more than 1 per time

unless they are somehow hidden by filter

[boreal widget]

I did get a T6 from it once,

[molten cobalt]

i mean those can be dropped randomly too

does not have to be from that imprint

[boreal widget]

had T7 cooldown recovery slotted in it

for boots*

[molten cobalt]

like this one

i have never imprinted a shield in that slot

so those boots might be a normal drop

[boreal widget]

Fair, I'll keep an eye out. I still got that staff imprinted in it right now

[cosmic dove]

@boreal widget @celest rain do you mind taking a look at this work in progress? I'm really new at this so there's tons of room for improvement
-- mana stacking for Hyperfocal (damage multi for disintegrate) and Scrivener's Haste (300+ ward from every rune gained via channeling)
-- 5th spell is static orb for lightning aegis. I also looked at glyph of dominion and/or static. static doesnt interrupt disintegrate but I feel like people say it has been nerfed / sucks
-- at a low level disintegrate sweep kills screens, runic invocation applies brand of deception. not sure how this would scale

only took you a week to type that 😂

[boreal widget]

Which upgrade?

[cosmic dove]

also I edited the planner 4 times while typing 😛

[boreal widget]

It replaces it with an implicit scaled by the % chance

[molten cobalt]

oh i see

so, useless for slam items

i was hoping it would upgrade an affix tier or something

im so desperate for a 7-7 one handed axe

cant find one

[boreal widget]

Yea, and usually it sucks even if it rolled well =/

the upgrade that is

Like the staff one is just a health implicit

[molten cobalt]

i see

running out of items i can upgrade somewhat easily

cleaver is one, but cant freakin find a double t7

cant find a double t7 amulet either

[boreal widget]

I've been getting a lot from CoF lately

Ever since I learend the 'All monolith, no monolith' trick CoF prophecies have been easier than ever

[molten cobalt]

the what trick?

[boreal widget]

Just stop by every 100k, load up an entire tree worth of what I'm targetting for exalted 'X' slot, then complete it in 10 minutes

Use 'All prophecies are monolith' and 'No monolith prophecies' at the same time

[molten cobalt]

what does that do

[boreal widget]

Every prophecy will be 'Kill a boss, Kill a nemesis, Kill an exiled mage, Kill diamon matron, Kill seige golem'

and nothing else

With no corruption or location requirement

[molten cobalt]

i dont mind corruption or location req

but yes i have been spamming one handed axe exalt prophecies like mad

[boreal widget]

I don't like having to move around, stick to the same timeline with the least annoying enemies and/or harb I want to farm

[molten cobalt]

not even a 7-6 one dropped

just plain t7 ones

[boreal widget]

Ugh I need to do fall of outcasts timeline but I hate that one

It has almost every awful enemy type simultaneously

[molten cobalt]

even been spamming nemesis tower and not empowering if no one handed axe

just to get as many chances as possible

[boreal widget]

I wanna stay in last ruin forever being spammed by "They want to learn" and never seeing a damned bird assassin, fire archer, or wendigo axe thrower ever again

[molten cobalt]

i dont care about monster type

they all die just as fast

i do the poison dragon one

just because maybe if stars align i find lp3 or lp4 twisted heart

[boreal widget]

Yea I got a couple 2lp ones, dunno if its what I should use for lightning meteor yet. I want to get the belt on fall of outcasts since I decided I'd do hard cast meteors instead of CoC

Although I should prob do CoC since I have 4x 2LP meteor belts somehow despite never tryin to farm or target them.

[celest rain]

Why aren't you using more Skill nodes that buff your Orb and such at the cost of mana? Your Disintegrate is free, you can spam everything else O.o

[boreal widget]

Sorry for delay, can't pick an offhand? I'm not good with runemaster to say what'd stand out. I don't like the idea of mixing focus and disintegrate together vs just more mana efficiency and channeling laser more.

have some filter for this build?

[boreal widget]

I don't nah, been going as I go. There isn't a lot of item support and since its not popular not many resources to look up anyways. Big thing is every black hole skillpoint is a multiplicative damage boost (Why I'm using the sword) and it only scales with damage over time.

I've tried adding alternative damage sources but its not worth it compared to simply relying on black hole to obliterate everything

This is at 350 corruption

Its such a low APM lazy build lmfao

[warped crow]

i just thought of something

ignivars head or whatever its called

• mana guide

runemaster probably because it has more int and because of the health regen applying to ward passive

fire aura per second while channeling focus ... movement while channeling focus ... then int stack for spell dmg to fire aura

[broken pecan]

random question, was frost claw nerfed into the dirt or am I remembering wrong?

Not into the dirt, but it's definitely less strong than it used to be.

Higher mana costs, less ward per freeze rate, etc

oh, also it doesn't work with spark charges any more, so that specific sorcerer build is dead

[warped crow]

so obviously focus + flame ward
probably fire converted frost wall

glyph of dominion?

and then maybe lightning blast specced into closed circuit

for 5th skill

[broken pecan]

hmmm, cause I'm running the maxroll shatter strike but I don't like the melee range bit.

[warped crow]

could also dissentigrating aura for 5th skill just to stack more fire auras ... but clearing would be focused on holding focus and just running

any other fun mage build ?

[molten cobalt]

how did you not go mad by accidental deaths from channeling bug?

[prime whale]

It fcked me a few times yeah

but tbh I just bruteforced him by doing it over and over

[graceful scarab]

Sorry, I asked this the other day too but forgot answer. Do you guys like Nib or Shattered World more on spellblade?

[prime whale]

I was maybe a bit undergeared for that kill

[molten cobalt]

i want to beat him, but dont want to do this

[prime whale]

I think having movespeed on the boots

is mandatory

to be able to dodge the plasma orbs

which i didnt have

[prime whale]

so the ending zone always looked something like this lmao

with 1 cm² of space to walk on

[molten cobalt]

ouf

[prime whale]

yeah that helps a lot i think

the biggest threat once you learn the patterns and attacks

are when theres just too many areas on the map

and you cant stand anywhere

[molten cobalt]

im not very good at condensing lasers

[prime whale]

that happens only if you get hit too much by the purple orbs

[molten cobalt]

i keep forgetting the timer

[prime whale]

or if you're unlucky

[molten cobalt]

laser every 20sec isnt it

but i forget and then place them poorly

[prime whale]

the boss can do the area on the ground

that hurts like hell

forgot the name

and sometimes he does it in the only space u can stand

[prime whale]

hmm idk i just ran around trying to dodge everything😂

and yeah the channeling bug you gotta get used to releasing focus at the right time

so your flame dash won't be bugged

I did it on CoF but I think on MG since you can get the uberroth gloves 1LP seemingly at an ok price it should be easier

because they can replace the gloves with experimental affix which are a pain in the ass to craft

[warped crow]

imagine if that 16 str had been dex uwu

[molten cobalt]

i didnt want it to be dex

[molten cobalt]

yes

[warped crow]

makes sense

[prime whale]

wow you have a ton of STR

[molten cobalt]

im 2 str off

178 is as high as it can go

[rugged shell]

https://tenor.com/view/the-frog-mage-wizard-flexing-magical-strong-gif-13050185960857361366

[prime whale]

I think also the julras rings kinda help because you can cast twice during the buff

[rugged shell]

gifs arent supported ;(

[prime whale]

and you kinda want to have a lot of dmg

otherwise the purple orbs are just gonna stack

[molten cobalt]

i tried julra rings a bit

didnt like it

[prime whale]

and you'll get fcked

[molten cobalt]

purple orbs?

[prime whale]

unless maybe its that much easier to dodge

with movespeed on boots

[molten cobalt]

i dont have any issues with the purple puddles

[prime whale]

those

if you get hit it leaves a permanent puddle

[molten cobalt]

yeah i know

[prime whale]

maybe its easy to dodge with ms

[rugged shell]

Isnt Blood of the exile BiS anyway?

[prime whale]

yeah it is

[molten cobalt]

flame rush makes you immune to them, dodge is easy and you can delete them too

[rugged shell]

The main problem ive had with the build is the focus glitch

Where you get softlocked for like 5 or so seconds

[prime whale]

hmm yeah you gotta release focus to cast flame rush

you can also dodge during the glitch

[rugged shell]

Didn't have that issue before the newest patch

[prime whale]

and it unstucks you

[rugged shell]

myself atleast

[prime whale]

yeah its a bug

[rugged shell]

Mainly happends during abby since I dont have that much time to think about it

[prime whale]

delete them ?

[prime whale]

yeah it makes you have a "delay" cuz u need to release focus

so its a bit harder to dodge

with flame rush

if they fix the bug it should be 20% easier at least

[rugged shell]

Its like the main reason ive died during the fight lol

[prime whale]

also ive seen some guy with wide screen earlier

[rugged shell]

or then its destructive ground

[prime whale]

you can see the purple orbs way earlier

also the meteors that deal insane dmg

[rugged shell]

The blue ones?

[prime whale]

sometimes you can't tell because the boss is out of the screen

the red ones

he stops and pulls fire orbs or smthn

[rugged shell]

Oh yeah the one where he sucks them

[prime whale]

and says a line

yeah

[rugged shell]

Main reason i die is the destructive ground

Or then the focus bug during something like dimensional slam

[prime whale]

hmm yeah most of my deaths were destructive ground

[rugged shell]

and a skill issue ingeneral (lol)

[prime whale]

because sometimes you can't even see it

because theres a laser and a puddle on top

[rugged shell]

Purple on dark purple isnt a good combo lol

[prime whale]

and if you walk in you insta die

do you play str stacker too ?

[rugged shell]

yeah

the same build everyones playing here lol

[prime whale]

once you get 2LP on the most important pieces then its doable yeah

then it becomes a skill issue lol

[rugged shell]

Yeah ive got him like 40%

Just too much shit going on for me lol

[prime whale]

I took a lot of deaths to get used to his attacks

[rugged shell]

Main upgrade I could have it gloves / helmet atm

Unless I get t7 t6 cleaver or amulet forexample

[prime whale]

main thing is to always dash behind him and try to stay close and avoid the purple orbs

[rugged shell]

Yeah the orbs are a mean mean thing

Since its a perma dot that ticks like 550 or so damage on me

[prime whale]

if he does the big purple triple slam and you're badly positioned you can tank it with flame ward

[molten cobalt]

with the fire puddle

[prime whale]

ah when he casts the fire area on you ?

[molten cobalt]

ye

[prime whale]

hmm yeah that should make it easier then

[rugged shell]

Ohh shit thats nice to know

[molten cobalt]

it will delete and keep deleting any purple puddles it comes into contact with

so, keep standing in the fire area

[rugged shell]

Fire hurts aswell ;(

[prime whale]

doesnt that hurt ?

[molten cobalt]

until the end when it explodes, dont stand there then

[molten cobalt]

only explosion in the end hurts

[prime whale]

hmm ok

[rugged shell]

I swear it has a dot

[molten cobalt]

im unaffected by it

[rugged shell]

How...?

[molten cobalt]

but the explosion can 1 tap ya

dunno

lots of ward?

[prime whale]

maybe with a more defensive gear yeah

i went only damage on my idols

idk if i can stand on it

yeah then if you can delete the puddles

you can take a bit longer to finish him its fine

you just dont want puddles in the middle of the map

because thats where the fight ends

and the lasers become crazy

[molten cobalt]

disco

not a raver huh?

[prime whale]

lol

did frozen sentinel kill it with the dex build btw ?

[molten cobalt]

same, due to this

[prime whale]

wow nice

[molten cobalt]

that 30 all res is so nice

[prime whale]

I got impatient and slammed a T5 all res lol

[molten cobalt]

no idea

[molten cobalt]

getting the base itself was the hard part

the slam itself succeeded first try

kept getting too low rolls

[prime whale]

the exalted or the 2LP ?

[molten cobalt]

exalted

[prime whale]

yeah

I couldnt find any exalted for like one or 2 days

so i just slammed T7 T5

[molten cobalt]

i kept getting stuff like this

24 all res pfff

[prime whale]

hmm yeah

btw you can reroll that

after you slam it

[molten cobalt]

or low block

[prime whale]

but then it might fck the block

[molten cobalt]

and risk the 10str? fk no

[prime whale]

yeah thats the risk

but idk whats easier to farm

[molten cobalt]

easier farming exalteds

[prime whale]

getting a perfect double T7 and then slamming it successfully

or farming nemesis

[molten cobalt]

a 2lp bastion isnt too bad

but a 2lp 10str..

[prime whale]

and sacrificing the shit 2 affix legendaries

that nemesis gives u

[molten cobalt]

im starting to doubt they are even trying to fix the bug

[prime whale]

I got used to it fortunately

but yeah its hurts the comfort of the build a lot

I think i'll try to beat him on bladedancer next

last stats there were only 3 kills on that class 😂

i have a lvl 100 bladedancer so I wont need to do the campaign again

[wet cape]

Is there a suggested place to submit builds for criticism/suggestions?

[harsh abyss]

I think there's a reddit for lastepochbuilds?

[celest rain]

Here is as good as place as any.

Does anyone know the base max range of Disintegrate???

I am trying to see how far you can make Flame Aura reach and I know it has a base radius of 10 yards. With passives you're up to 21.5 yards.

But I need a point of comparison because yards are kinda meaningless on a screen.

[lost siren]

So can anyone ELI5 to me what exactly is the glitch on that build that everyoine is commenting?

[rugged shell]

If you are talking about Runic invocation its to pass throught a frostwall with flame rush

to snapshot the damage multi

its perma that way

[lost siren]

and that's unintended

[rugged shell]

no shit.

I gave you the awnser you are looking for

[lost siren]

Thank you kind sir

[cosmic dove]

I would never cast orb directly--only out of disintegrate
one orb every 3 seconds isnt going to do any damage. it was purely for 100% uptime on lightning aegis
but yes, I didnt know what points to put in orb outside the aegis ones

[celest rain]

Yeah but it's free points

and you're doing lightning damage

and you have the mana

why would you not just use it for damage if you already have points in it O.o

[cosmic dove]

yeah I threw focus on there because ^^ I wouldnt cast orb directly
if I went with static or glyph then I would replace focus with that on the bar

I mean I can spec it for damage
I think it would always be an opportunity cost loss to cast it manually

and I swapped from staff to wand, forgot offhand. oops.

[unreal turtle]

I started making the black void ignite sorcerer but I'm starting to think maybe I don't like it, whats the actual best sorc build ?

Are the maxroll ones actually good

[boreal widget]

black void?

Best sorc build at the moment exploits a really stupid bug & snapshotting so up to you if that's comfortable for ya

[boreal widget]

Hard to find a good offhand since ingvar wont be to great. Torn between a shield or a 3LP rotmind

Really struggling to get enough defensive stats as I hit 400+ corruption, would Wall of Nothing + Seed of Ekkidrasil do better than Null Portent? I have a 2LP of each just gotta slam them

[graceful scarab]

Hey so like

Doesn't comet rush basically mean that with shattered worlds teleport has no cd?

Actually, reading it, it seems to reset haste not the cd of teleport

[harsh abyss]

Yeah, it resets the haste duration

[left hill]

Wall seems like it would go really hard with Foot of the Mountain.

I'm also a big FOTM fan generally though for the +all stats and -mana cost

[boreal widget]

True! Unique thing about black hole build is I never have to stop moving though. I could try and farm it. I really don't want to slam these two since I got so lucky getting both

And idk, feels like a waste to use them on this build

Gotta reroll Nihils with some nemesis bricked ones tho

[twilit jasper]

wurf anything?

[blazing root]

Frostbite bh stonks

[boreal widget]

Black hole can't stack frostbite

[blazing root]

Wasn't this a thing discussed here

[boreal widget]

it was, and I went and tested it, collapse is considered a void spell so wont trigger 'frostbite on cold spell'

so it doesn't work

[blazing root]

Cold with frost from passives and items

Wtf

Lmao

Theoretically the armor shred conversion would work,I guess, but that'd be a bit limited

[harsh abyss]

No, it wouldnt, that also requires cold spells, heh

And since collapse is technically a void spell and not a cold spell right now, no armor shred conversion

[blazing root]

Oh does it, rip. Didn't really pay attention to that since my rm is crit

[harsh abyss]

I'm 95% sure its unintended and just a lingering bug.

[blazing root]

😢

[harsh abyss]

Would be a cool build to try, otherwise

[blazing root]

Yeah bh seems cool af

[cosmic dove]

I submitted a bug report about it being void not cold but I doubt they are being flooded by reports about it so...

[graceful scarab]

Any pro spellblades available for some advice?

[cosmic dove]

would Fragment of the Inigma work? It's +1 to lightning skills and I dunno if the spark charges work post nerf

[boreal widget]

In a DoT build I wouldn't. Rotmind would give +1 skills and boost damage over time, and is so low level getting 3LP/4LP one is reasonable

Otherwise I'd prob go with a shield myself

[cosmic dove]

yeah probably. I am casting invocation often which is doing my hit for brand of deception
it would also apply spark charges
but probably not frequently enough I guess

[celest rain]

@boreal widget ya know what... might be able to do the Fireball thing and throw Ascendance in one of the slots anyways lol

My mana regen is doing better than I thought it would

Don't think I need Focus

Not sure what else would be good to throw in there

either that or maybe snap freeze?

hmm, not ascendance, it ruins the flow of this

bleh fine

[cosmic dove]

ok added shield. updated static to cost mana/do damage/add ward.

Snap freeze. Can interrupt some dangerous abilities with it

I'd interrupt aberroths ground slam with for example

[celest rain]

Just gonna flame rush it tbh

If I desparately need hard Freeze then maybe snap for some encouters

[cosmic dove]

it's because your name has Rush in it, isnt it? 😛

[celest rain]

could be

[boreal widget]

Doesn't flame rush share a cooldown with teleport anyways?

[celest rain]

wait.. does it?

[boreal widget]

traversal skills all share a cooldown

when one goes on cooldown, they all do

[celest rain]

... yep, you're right... dammmittt

welp..... maybe snap freeze it is

[floral pier]

The celestial doom staff triggers its spell when you use any other spell.. would ele nova count if you use crest of unity so you can get like 3 casts every 4 seconds?

Idk the item looks like either super bait or under the radar, mana + Regen stacking for doom pulse. It gets 500% effectiveness of added damage

Pair with the fire void chest and the julra relic

At 1k mana you're getting +100 void spell damage *5

[unreal turtle]

yeah dont wanna snapshot or abuse bugs

[boreal widget]

It does, It ried the build and the synergy just isn't there. Also ele nova tickles so ain't worth it

[shadow merlin]

Hi, everyone. Damage dealt to Mana Before Health can be over 100% ?

[floral pier]

Dang, it's bait then. Thanks for your advice pal

[boreal widget]

If it goes over it doesn't change anything. 100% of damage is dealt to your mana before your health, it wont amplify the taken damage

[graceful scarab]

Is freeze rate multiplier useful for spellblade shatter strike?

[hybrid schooner]

@graceful scarabfreeze rate multi + some amout of freeze rate per stack of chill will pretty much keep whatever youre hitting perma frozen with the exception of bosses. if that interests you its very effective for this

also if you were scaling frostbite damage with shatter strike, the boots you would use also count freeze rat multi as damage. so that would be one of your priority stats

but in general freeze rate multi + a decent roll of "freeze rate per stack of chill" massively improves your freeze capability

if youre interested in scaling frostbite

[graceful scarab]

Thanks, that helps.
Do you have any opinions between the cold penetration of diothean bloody nib vs all of the extra stats and damage reduction you get from shattered worlds relic?

Wanting to get a kill on Uber and debating build for the fight

[hybrid schooner]

bloody nib is a huge damage increase. but if you dieing that dont matter right.

shattered world tankier for sure

[graceful scarab]

Fair, I'll just swap depending on how much I die progging the fight

[hybrid schooner]

probably as u get better at the fight bloody nib

[boreal widget]

Interesting, the staff I put in the weaver tree dropped an exact copy almost, but with higher tier than before. Didn't know that was possible.

[molten cobalt]

Sure that can happen, but I have never seen a t6 become a t7

I have been trying with a 7-6 axe

No 7-7 in sight

[boreal widget]

I almost started empowering nemesis when I see a 1h axe

Even knowing I'd never need it

[molten cobalt]

Yeah I do that too now

[hybrid schooner]

i mean whos to say it popped form the imprint

[molten cobalt]

Otherwise I just fight it

[molten cobalt]

If you didn’t say it dropped I would honestly think you did a reroll on the t3 freeze rate and it ate 4 FP

[boreal widget]

Yea, got it from a trove alongside like 3 other staves with T7 affix so knew it was from the tree

[molten cobalt]

At least I found a 7-7 amulet randomly

Just missing axe now

[hybrid schooner]

good fp? im stll trying to scale up my 77amm, 38fp...

[molten cobalt]

No 41 or 42 I think

Not home atm

But it’ll do for now

[hybrid schooner]

im actually trying to pop amulets rn

[molten cobalt]

Got high FP on all other 7-7 pieces

Like 55+

Can a target have 2 identical DoT applied at the same time, but from 2 different players?

Or are 2 brand autobombers just cucking themselves

[hybrid schooner]

uhh probably. would be pretty wild if not

are you still looking for 77 axe

if i see 77 in nemesis i can prob invite you to drop it

[molten cobalt]

Does that actually work?

That would be awesome

Yesterday I ended up getting a 7-6-6 axe instead

I got so excited when I saw it was already a t7 from start

[hybrid schooner]

any tripple proc on ammy print. 43 fp best now. scaling up!

ay*

so these imprints are really good at giving nearly the same stats as printed. i think ill keep the highest fp slotted for now andy any 77 below that ill hit with a redemption to see if i can swap to an affix im actually looking for, mayb enot lose much FP is any. then print that

[boreal widget]

Well if it does I'll keep an eye out too and do the same

[molten cobalt]

I think I’m up at 10 or 11 cleavers with 9str and 2lp

And a 9str 3lp one

They need to be fed

[hybrid schooner]

hit this with a couple redemptions. i may slot this in and scal it up the fp.

[empty hawk]

Havoc time

[molten cobalt]

You don’t want pen though?

Isn’t the best mods ele dot, dot and shock?

[hybrid schooner]

ya i was thinking at least it had something useful. i found a better one tho

[sinful coyote]

hit 1min uberroth with hydra

but failed to record rip

[proud swift]

I was watching a a RuneMaster video and it said that as a RuneMaster it is very easy to have very high ward and armor. Is it true for armor? What is considered high armor for a RuneMaster?

[molten cobalt]

1min total fight?!

That’s insane for mage

[molten cobalt]

If you’re a STR stacking brand of deception runenaster yes

You’ll be t-posing around with 15k+ armor easily

[proud swift]

So if I am not investing in strength then high armor is not easy?

[molten cobalt]

Correct

[proud swift]

Thanks

[molten cobalt]

The STR gives me something crazy like 800% increased armor or something

So yeah losing that means a lot

[sinful coyote]

https://youtu.be/drWHrzGBg_o yea 1min total

[proud swift]

1. In the RuneMaster Tree if I take the Stride To Safe node and Warmage's Initiative then do both of them cancel each other out and I just not move?
2. If I take the Elemental Starfield node but don't have Elemental nova in my hotbar and also haven't specialised in Elemental Nova then do I still cast Elemental Nova?
3. How many Elemental Novas do i cast if I direct cast 3 gon rune Runic invocation which auto casts 1 rune and 2 rune invocations automatically through the skill tree?

[molten cobalt]

That’s awesome

[opal citrus]

What’s the best build to kill uber aborroth and do high monos with on mage now a days?

[hybrid schooner]

hmm theres a few builds

shatter strike good for uber, tpose is great clears on high corr and still did uber, theres a mirror bolt build someone linked yesterday

[acoustic sorrel]

If i have Shattered Worlds haste effect, does that make my teleport instant CD if i take that node in the tree?

nvm i cant read 😛

[earnest marten]

Cool! Can we have your planner?

[sinful coyote]

ive commented planner under the vid

[hoary blade]

can someone explain to me why every lightning strike sorcerer runs meteor as a skill? They don't use the lightning conversion staff and don't scale fire damage, so I'm confused as to why it's there

[acoustic sorrel]

its for mana regen

teleport then cast costly spell regens the mana cost

[hoary blade]

Ahhh I see it now. Thank you

[earnest marten]

Thanks

[boreal widget]

Huh, that was just a hail mary into nemesis

[bright patio]

p sure i just found the most disgusting pair of boots in the game

imprinted and now it's raining double t7's

these boots alone are full crit immune 😭

[empty hawk]

Crazy

[bright patio]

even 65FP

wildddd

[past hedge]

Is there a trick to useing flame rush, its 50/50 on whether the skill goes the full distance or like 0.1m.... worst traversal ever considering others point and tp rounder corners etc. But it's needed on runemaster sadly.

[empty hawk]

Tap it if u wanna trigger innvocation

And else hold down id say

[uneven ember]

focus funi

awooga

[uneven ember]

majasa down

[peak oracle]

frostwall go brr

[mild nymph]

guys for a newbie, what should i be doing just after finish story line?

[unborn ravine]

Either do side quests to get idol slots and passives (15/15 and 8/8) or just do end of time endgame

[sleek reef]

^ can check bottom left of the map to see how many passive points n idol slot rewards you still need then check which quests reward one, aftee that youre gonna wanna do all the timelines in the end of time to unlock empowered timelines

[molten cobalt]

Run monoliths to upgrade gear

Won’t take much to find upgrades

Then start interacting with your chosen faction

And farm weaver tree points

Buy the maps you have not run

Speed run imprint slots

Especially the one giving you loot on turned in echo reward

[molten cobalt]

It’s bugged.

EHG broke it with a recent update

And it’s not 50/50, as it currently stands holding in makes it go 0 distance and quick tap makes it go full

[molten cobalt]

Gear isn’t even that crazy, what’s making it do such damage? Saw another dude taking 4 min with hydra

Some insane snapshot?

[peak oracle]

that looks super annoying to play

[peak oracle]

snapshot and he is double casting every hydra

by copying it with runic energy

[molten cobalt]

What is annoying? Looks simple no?

[peak oracle]

he needs to cast hydra when his cycle is at the correct spot via flame rush

if you mess up the tming, you have to start again

[peak oracle]

hold runebolt until 1-3 thunder
recast runebolt to thunder is on 2nd + fire on 3rd
flame rush

the more thunders you do the more runic energy youll get

if you hit ice by accident you have to start over

if you miss the correct time on FR, start over

also apparently his flame ward is on ice

which makes it even worse

lmao

[molten cobalt]

Oh i see

[compact bear]

anyone ever try Snap Freeze as dmg ability? How low can you get the cooldown? Also how does Snap Shock + Frozen Monolith work together?

I assume the cooldown is the limiting factor but might spec into it being a big burst ability with chain lightning as clear or something>

[molten cobalt]

Yeah ok I get what you mean now

[peak oracle]

why is your flame ward on ice btw

[weary hamlet]

not viable

long cooldown (or any cooldown to begin with) and lack of more multipliers

[compact bear]

Spark Surge is a nice more multiplier and it has a lot of stuff for crit in the tree

[weary hamlet]

if you want to have a big nuke to combine with LB clear you can try something like static, although LB and static in particular have little synergy

[compact bear]

Yeah LB/Static is overdone, pkayed it before. i wanna try something new.

[weary hamlet]

eh spark surge is 500% but it's the only modifier it has

[compact bear]

what about Frozen Monolith if you amke it lightning? Will i shock myself and be immune during that? Sounds too good to be true right

[weary hamlet]

no idea, probably doesn't work at all

[compact bear]

i would imagine not. Im intrigued by using snap freeze as a dmg ability though, imma just roll with it, make a new character

[molten cobalt]

You a masochist by chance ?

[compact bear]

Maybe. I just like to try new things. Might work out. Fun either way 🙂

[fickle path]

Anyone have a spellblade build they can beat uberoth with?

[molten cobalt]

There’s one as far as I know

Shatterstrike

[cerulean plinth]

https://youtu.be/ew5MKAz7tR8?si=HPB-t3__8JnIQ6F-

Saw this the other day

[fickle path]

I was just gonna ask for a link or ask if the maxroll one is good, thanks, I'll check it out

[hybrid schooner]

their Ss build is still there https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/shatter-strike-spellblade-guide

maybe u were talkn about light blast. im just waking up

[hybrid flame]

Has there been any news on flame rush getting fixed?

[cerulean plinth]

The guy in the video I linked put his planner in the comments too

[hybrid schooner]

last i checked the devs are responding on reddit like every day saying "we are aware of the issues and are working on it"

https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/1kbnkj4/new_bug_with_122/

[fickle path]

The maxroll one looks more attainable ;P Surely not as strong though. I haven't been hutning super hard for red ring since my main is palaldin, but I always love and want to make spellblade work, so I may try to work up towards one.

[hybrid schooner]

cehst on maxroll is basically max dps cause of the extra dex i beleieve. and the haste.

but ya. start hunting those weaver swords and pretty much weaver every single one you find no matter how low the weave potential. they only drop from the atropos elite that lives randonly at the end of a tomv, or in "lost wood folly" echo

[fickle path]

Yeah, that I definitely noticed ;P I'll keep an eye out for those. I have a really solid Aberoth neck I could use already, and a good null portent shouldn't be too hard to get up and running. Pretty sure I have shattered chains and stymied fate lying around, and boneclamour for sure with at least 1-2 LP. Red ring and those swords, maybe nib, will be the sticking points.

[hybrid schooner]

the chains and stymied are kinda tough. like only drops from orobys nodes that are far from the center. higher chance

and 2lp not ez

[fickle path]

I already have a couple chains I can egg. They're subject to egg RNG, but they'll serve as stopgaps even if they roll poorly.

Hmmm, wonder if Sacred Light would be unironically good as a leveling stick for spellblade... I have a bunch of them lying around

Lol, my very first egged chains got 2lp. Guess I just need slam fodder for it 😉

[hybrid schooner]

ya dont brick it. press your buttons with some authotitay

[compact bear]

When i change a spell from cold to lightning and it says Chill chance --> Shock chance. Does that also mean Chill duration --> Shock duration? It does not specify this on the node itself but figured it still might work that way

[proud field]

does anyone know how shatter strike spellblade compares to erasing/rive void for 300 corruption+?

[hybrid schooner]

uhh. cleaing monos with shatter strike is substantialy slowr for sure

its great on single target but when theres a lof of stuff blasting at you you just kind get donged to death. thats my experience

[proud field]

would you say its worth rolling it after maxing out void knight? any benefits?

seems similar gameplay on paper

[fickle path]

From meta standpoint, no. If you like spellblade, yes.

[hybrid schooner]

ya it really doesnt compare tbbh

its not going to ever be better

[fickle path]

Not this season anyways, I wouldn't say ever.

[hybrid schooner]

i mean , ever in this season. no matter what u do to it

[fickle path]

Sentinel being meta was never on my bingo card for any season tbqh, so this has been refreshing.

Would be cool if that happens for shaman or spellblade at some point 😉

[hybrid schooner]

i wonder if the double humming bee sword settup will just allow you to stand in the abberoth shennanigans

like just go full tanky potato build so u cant die there

[fickle path]

Abberoth maybe, uberoth definitely not. Not even my decently well built paladin can ignore uberoth mechanics.

[hybrid schooner]

no fkm way.. i just patched and was hoping

were back boyz

[smoky barn]

You... just patched?

[shut heart]

Oo yea

[hybrid schooner]

ya it said my client was out of date

[fickle path]

I'm 2% away from done and I have awful internet.

[shut heart]

8 days break and here we are

[cosmic dove]

No fix for black hole collapse. How dare they not react to my bug report in < 48 hours! 😛

[sinful coyote]

I was doing CFC for initial wards on start

or you lose quite a lot dmg from fortress staff at the beginning

[peak oracle]

mk

[sinful coyote]

ngl if I have any spammable cold runes I’ll like hydra

no access for CFC during fight/echo clearing feels squishy

[peak oracle]

cant you use glacier to prep

or frost claw

[sinful coyote]

nah you need LFF for hydra so FFLLLF>flame rush, already took 4 skill slots

[peak oracle]

no like

you dont need to spec into it

[sinful coyote]

yea I know

So I need spammable fire+lightning to prep hydra

invocation and flamerush on skillbar

And there’s only 1 slot left > flameward

or

[peak oracle]

you have flameward on cast on stun

you can just frost claw to start

and just switch once oyu have ward

[sinful coyote]

flameward cast on stun doesn’t proc if you don’t have it on your bar?

[peak oracle]

some people said it did?

i cant say for sure

ig

[sinful coyote]

also you need flameward to pop CFC

cuz it doesn’t interrupt flamerush

[peak oracle]

...?

[sinful coyote]

you have to do C> hold flamerush>flameward

[peak oracle]

just unspec the teleport on RI

and manual cast it

[sinful coyote]

that will break snapshot

[peak oracle]

do you need to get your ward back every mono?

[sinful coyote]

nah but during mono you won’t have many wards on you

Cuz you are relying on +wards on hydra hit

(hydra sucks on hitting moving mobs)

[peak oracle]

hmm

[sinful coyote]

also hydra won’t keep 100% uptime on hitting

[peak oracle]

do you have leech

[sinful coyote]

it’s getting oneshotted

[peak oracle]

do you have leech

[sinful coyote]

Nah

[peak oracle]

k

[sinful coyote]

im running with average 2k wards in mono, I won’t say that’s enough at 1500+c

[peak oracle]

2k lmao

[sinful coyote]

wish we get access to silver shroud

[peak oracle]

if its just ward on start, theres a lot of ways

keeping ward up is kinda annoying

you could run low-life gloves

and spec flame ward into missing hp%

[sinful coyote]

That’s why I like CFC, it boost your wards to ~4k for 13sec w/o any requirements

ima planning using judgement gloves for 24%fire pen and +16 att

and it’s easy to get 3LP or even 4LP

[peak oracle]

you could give up some damage and run potion ward belt

and just mash that every so often during echos

[sinful coyote]

lmao

[peak oracle]

im pretty sure you are overkilling damage, no?

[sinful coyote]

yup

I’ve try using Julra helm as CC but doesn’t works well

[serene depot]

What's everyone running in HC, about done with my shaman and looking for alt ideas

[sinful coyote]

80% HC ladders are judgement paladin iirc?

[serene depot]

I meant mage specifically

[peak oracle]

theres also a belt that gives ward on dodge but i dont think thats good lmao

[sinful coyote]

I don’t think mage have a good builds for HC, cuz any lag/getting hit while afk can cost your life

[sinful coyote]

or if I can get much better gears with extra dodge/armor I could slot idols with more wards

[peak oracle]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[blazing root]

Ward trail is the belt I think you're thinking of

Should be easy to get lp, too

[sinful coyote]

gonna check that

I feel I need potion to wards for monos and prob +potion bases to spam

rip +25 int

hope i can farm a better nihilis for amulet, haven’t seen any 2LP with +resis&+armor rn

[empty hawk]

Neither did i and i killed uber
800 times 🤣

[sinful coyote]

oops they “fixed” bleed falconer

[lucid hedge]

what is this mean? never play falconer before

[sinful coyote]

The fixed a bug that +stun chance% on idol is multiplicity to +stun chance% on gear

and falconer has a node that every 10% stun chance = 5% more DoT dmg

So you are getting 5000%+ stun chance with idols and couple affixs on gear, bang 2500% more damage

[scenic dock]

i guess thats how they were able to clear 6k corruption

[sinful coyote]

nah it’s divebomb

they are pushing with ballista I guess?

only divebomb get benefit from this glitch

[last knoll]

Can anyone explain why putting on Crest of unity causes my ele nova to do less damage than my lightning nova only? Is it losing scaling of % lightning damage from my gear because it's tri-elemental? Is the damage now split into 3 buckets so lightning damage is capped at 33% of the total?

[hybrid schooner]

yo whats up with the possed nemesis in the eaver tree, benefit of what

does he have higher odds of loots or what

[scenic dock]

smh my loot filter just deleted some rules by itself

trashgame

[hybrid schooner]

lol enzane i see u in global

[rugged shell]

This is a new death screen lmao

[sinful coyote]

Im thinking how about -cooldown for transversal skill on potion use

like 0cd FR per potion

[molten cobalt]

Maybe same as possessed elites? More amber

But I have no idea, just guessing

[peak oracle]

You could but is it worth just for faster movement

You could just run a belt with ms or something

And doesnt your hydra require setup time anyway

[sinful coyote]

no setup i guess then, Im not sure

[peak oracle]

I mean

[sinful coyote]

if we can get 3 runes faster -cd equals more damage

[peak oracle]

You could just run the passive on ri for set runes

Or do you need the damage for echoes

[molten cobalt]

WAIT WHAT?!

ITS FIXED?!

this sounds like a nerf

[sinful coyote]

nerf for red ring imprint i guess

[molten cobalt]

for every unique

this is big

it always annoyed the hell out of me

wow we have regex now for stash searches?

or has that always been here

[hybrid schooner]

yo what a nifty and good QOL update they did. when you swap an item that had skill ranks on it. it tells you that pts were removed and when you go in the skill tree is flashes the node that was removed

[molten cobalt]

thats nice

and regex is very useful too

[hybrid schooner]

@molten cobalt dude the top left imprint is now printing t7 sealed for me. but its not even the item i have slotted, not even the sme affix

dafuc is regex

[molten cobalt]

search phrase "codes" to search for very specific stuff in stash

[hybrid schooner]

if we can get t7 sealed vilatria on helm doo omig

[molten cobalt]

and they fixed the low FP imprint "issue"

low FP can still drop high FP

[lost siren]

so did the change to flame rush affect that wall snapshotting thing or is it unrelated

[hybrid schooner]

really... so fp is not at all important? or only somewhat important now

unrelated

[molten cobalt]

it is, somewhat

low FP can drop medium FP

so you still gotta scale it up

[hybrid schooner]

alr

[molten cobalt]

but it will be waay faster

not like 20 FP imprint dropping 25 FP

but 20 dropping 40

[hybrid schooner]

cuase im deff getting actually a lot of t7 sealed. but i have a belt slooted and its dropping helms with heal effect on it..

[lost siren]

I guess isn’t a bug then 😆

[molten cobalt]

snapshot is not a bug no

they have during an interview said it is an allowed game mechanic, but unintended

and they will fix snapshotting for season 3

or try to anyway

man this patch was very good

but you cant "gift" double T7 loot with your own imprints anymore @hybrid schooner

[harsh abyss]

Yeah, not a bug but intended to be fixed/changed in the future (probably S3)

[molten cobalt]

the other person will get loot based on his/her own imprint, not party host

[vital ermine]

does anyone know exactly how conflagrate works in the enchant weapon tree? will it consume ignites around me passively for the entire duration or is it only a single instance of consumption on cast

[harsh abyss]

Consume on cast

[vital ermine]

kks

would it make any sense to do Kindling Blade at all then if I'm doing ignite blackhole?

the other option seems to just be going to burst of fire but

[harsh abyss]

I'm not sure it's worth the investment, but you could give it a shot and see if it feels good

[vital ermine]

seems like its middling

I think I'll just give it a shot cause it eases mental stack and against bosses you should have full ignite stack uptime anyway so losing access to manually timing it should be w/e

[rugged shell]

I dont know if its a certain criteria or always

Or I guess ive never seen a random ring drop in my echoes now that I think about it,.

From presumably the imprint

[bleak glen]

did Runic invocation spell get changed?

[molten cobalt]

changed how

[north heath]

[bleak glen]

so i have fire lighting fire rune and im not getting orb circling around me it was working yesterday but today now it changed to aoe fire blast

i only get the orb when i do flame rush

[molten cobalt]

works for me

so you did something wrong

[bleak glen]

im doing the same build lol

but yesterday it was working but now its not working for some reason

[sinful coyote]

wow they add automatic LP0 search when you open nemesis

[molten cobalt]

something must be off

because i literally did it

and got plasma orb

man im so glad to have proper flame rush back

[bleak glen]

i can get on channel and show you live

wtf it worked that time.

[molten cobalt]

well i sent a video showing it works

[bleak glen]

ok so i have liike a high chance of not working thats what i am seeing

i keep doing it and in very few instance it summons the orb

[keen lake]

OK. So. I am Using Mana Guide to Move around with the Spell Focus. In the Focus Skill tree, I make the Bursts of lightning happen frequently from Energy Overflow. Does Cast Speed effect how fast it bursts?

[bleak glen]

but most of time it just does aoe fiire blast around me

[molten cobalt]

works every time for me

[cerulean plinth]

Not sure if you saw but it seems like the most recent bugfix patch fixed it

Came out a few hours ago

[sinful coyote]

new find on frostwall glitch

[hybrid schooner]

?? do tell

[sinful coyote]

after snapshotting, you can cancel all 3 skillpoints on aspirant's arrival

then passing frostwall won't ruin your snapshot

[cerulean plinth]

L0l

[hybrid schooner]

o thats clean

[molten cobalt]

not sure why you'd want to pass it again though

[sinful coyote]

frostwall is a great defensive tool in monos

and 14% more damage to chilled enemy while frostwall is up

also provide brand so celetial doom is accessable

[hybrid schooner]

which node is thi

[sinful coyote]

that one provide dmg

[molten cobalt]

oh really

didnt notice

wont really work vs uberroth though

because if you die, you wont have made back the skill points

to reapply aspirant

[sinful coyote]

you don't need to snapshot again after death

[molten cobalt]

WHAT?!

[sinful coyote]

so do old snapshot for julra, dungeons etc

[hybrid schooner]

ya what

[sinful coyote]

yea the invis buff presist after death

[molten cobalt]

what the shit

thats next level

[molten cobalt]

what do you mean old snapshot

[soft shadow]

i'm looking at a few hydrahedron guides and some of them use the frost wall snapshotting but also take 4/4 Crystals of Protection. What's the point of that if they never use frost wall again? is there just nothing else to take?

[sinful coyote]

"snapshot then change frostwall to other skills"

so no skillpoint cancels

cuz you need to redo snapshot b4 julra everytime

and you wont get the exp back

monos you can do snapshot and cancel skillpoints

[molten cobalt]

so you still lose snapshot if you change area

[sinful coyote]

yup

[molten cobalt]

well i dont really do julra often

and 0 dungeons because fk that

[sinful coyote]

only freed frostwall passing for skillpoint cancels

but you don’t get -60% mana cost for RI after cancel skill points idk

gotta test it

hmm

[molten cobalt]

mana isnt an issue anyway

[sinful coyote]

60+15 for hydra+fr it’s quite a lot ngl

[molten cobalt]

what?

60+15 what

[sinful coyote]

flamerush is ~15 with passives

[hybrid flame]

Hooray!🎉

[molten cobalt]

my filter has changed

since update

filter rules have switched place

[hybrid schooner]

yuhh i gotta check mine. someone was talkn about that earlier

[molten cobalt]

thats a big fk up

[hybrid schooner]

seams fine

[molten cobalt]

swapping place on 1 rule could ruin entire filter

resulting in godly items being hidden

[hybrid schooner]

lol right

[molten cobalt]

reallly really bad they messed with this

all of a sudden i kept seeing all set items

because the hide set rule had been placed differently

or no, the other way around

my hide set items had been placed wrong

so it didnt get counted

[pseudo wolf]

Guys, how do i search for any + skills on relic implict ? ive tried it and it didint work

[molten cobalt]

what do the 2 dots mean?

oh

1 prefix 2 suffix
