Oh right I actually came here for a reason. I've noticed that occasionally in certain spots Shatter Strike seems to cast "sideways" and doesn't actually hit anything. Usually moving a step in any direction fixes it. Is this a bug and if so is it a new one?

harsh abyss
I think its the same bug as accidentally clicking on "top" of terrain and shooting projectiles/aoe skills in the wrong spot.
molten cobalt
CoF can be really time consuming as well
which is why I like trade, but efficient trade
PoE stash tabs connected to trade site makes it very easy to set price and administrate your sales
and buyer always ports to seller
item up for sale gets highlighted in stash
potent echo
I just meant that in terms of them both having the same system of "several different interactable locations" but CoF can swap between them in UI while MG apparently can't
Seems odd
molten cobalt
yeah thats a bit odd
should just be 1 trade window with categories for every item tab
potent echo
I've never played PoE so I have no comparison for useability of MG and it doesn't really affect me anyways since I will always pick CoF
So I've not even been inside the MG hub lol
But definitely seems like there's some improvements just to the UI that could help
rustic gulch
Hey for build that run wrong warp is there any replacement ?
I'm just wondering can you instead go for a big 2 handed weapon or is something like wrongwarp and scale of ettera just always going to be stronger ?
trail leaf
is meteor not viable for 1k corruption?
molten cobalt
that I have my doubts about
some mage builds just don't have it in them
to efficiently do 1k that is
trail leaf
I mean technically everything is 1kc viable
thats good to hear tho
lightning blast is good but I dont want it to be my main skill for the whole mage life
I initially want lightning meteor tbh
rustic gulch
I did enjoy LB spark charges
trail leaf
yeah same
rustic gulch
Managed to solve my dmg also with teleport spawning 3 novas for lots of Spark charges while moving
trail leaf
actually I like chain lightning more tbh
but spark charge is better
I just like the animation of chaining shit hehe
rustic gulch
Still going back and forth on glacier sorc vs LB spark charges.
As I'm not a huge fan of wrong warp and like ladel. But not sure if ladel glacier sorc is like some meme build.
rustic gulch
I just like the animation of chaining shit hehe
Chaining ?
As in you don't have the single target setup ?
boreal widget
Are there any uber (within reason) capable builds not utilizing snapshotting for mage?
rustic gulch
yeah Im still on the campaign
For leveling I used LB for single target and then big aoe nova to apply spark charges. Also nodes on teleport to spawn 3 nova for very funny visuals
boreal widget
The current meta of swapping gear -> using ability for buff -> swapping back to different gear.
rustic gulch
Are there any uber (within reason) capable builds not utilizing snapshotting for...
Yeah.
As in people have done it without snapshot on every class. Depends what you call within reason
trail leaf
For leveling I used LB for single target and then big aoe nova to apply spark ch...
nova? what skill is that
boreal widget
Yeah.
As in people have done it without snapshot on every class. Depends what ...
<20 minute kill time I think
rustic gulch
nova? what skill is that
Elemental nova. You can make it so it apply a spark charge on every hit and give it over 100% aoe.
boreal widget
Which mage builds scale well enough without like all 3lp gear?
trail leaf
ahh
sharp mantle
hydrahedron can snapshot but you can also do it without snapshotting and it does tons of reliable damage to uberroth while you dodge
rustic gulch
This character has done uber for example using 2lp items - https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/Qk1YdNbo
silk pewterBOT
trail leaf
question, whats the point of killing Uberroth? is there some really great chance for rare gear for grinding him or like just an achievement
rustic gulch
question, whats the point of killing Uberroth? is there some really great chance...
It's basically the peak of content. Like the top 0.001% of players stuff.
There is also some specifc items that only drop from uber. Items that give you things like perma haste effects
sharp mantle
yeah his gear is worth it
trail leaf
sorry I came from D4 (preseason, yes its disappointing) and killing Uber Lilith was just more of an achievement that something worth killing for
thanks guys, Im still new to Last Epoch
craggy crest
I'm trying to work towards killing uberroth
And I still get insta gibbed by harbingers and shades
At 400 corruption lmao
rustic gulch
sorry I came from D4 (preseason, yes its disappointing) and killing Uber Lilith ...
Yeah uber in this game is like the giga end game content.
They put out some stats and like a week or so into the season about 4k characters had killed uber or party play and won total.
rustic gulch
1k is a big goal.
My goal is just 300c
rustic gulch
Yeah each bit of corruption is like a more multiplier
If people character were able to consistently farm 1k corruption they were pushing for uber
trail leaf
I see
cause in D4 higher levels of pit were like useless
cause same drop rates
kekw
rustic gulch
Basically up to 300c you get lots of bonus. 300 to 1k you get some scaling and then 1k+ is just silly numbers
trail leaf
just higher exp
unreal blade
rarity scales infinitely
trail leaf
Basically up to 300c you get lots of bonus. 300 to 1k you get some scaling and t...
oh I see
so youre saying 300c is already good and realistic?
rustic gulch
Yeah you can technically push like 5k corruption to get loads of rare items but you will also die like 10 times per area
unreal blade
depends on the build
strength runemaster can farm at 5k, probably doesn't die that much
rustic gulch
so youre saying 300c is already good and realistic?
That's just my goal. 300c is like this is a solid build. But I'm also used to HC so it's a little different
unreal blade
but you need very good gear for that
trail leaf
thanks guys all of this is so helpful
rustic gulch
Yeah it's sort of about the reward vs time taken.
If you can clear 5 zones at 1k corruption and it takes same as 1 zone in 5k corruption it's better to do more in less corruption
I remember when I was new and I was like yeah 9k corruption is totally normal right
trail leaf
Ill finish the campaign fornow kekw Ive recreated like 3 mages already cause I was thinking my build sucked lol
or wont do good at the end
unreal blade
basically you want to go as high as you can without time taken either for the clear or for additional deaths. if you are powerful enough to clear 1k at the same speed as 500, no reason to farm at 500. if you die sometimes at 1000 but never at 800, then maybe 800 is best. stuff like that.
trail leaf
sounds fair
rustic gulch
Yeah that's why I plan to just sit at 300c
Actually farm and learn what's going on and then possibly push to 500c ect
trail leaf
would you say that 300c is like casual
molten cobalt
as if hitting lvl100 is hard in this game
trail leaf
kekw
molten cobalt
its actually too easy
rustic gulch
I mean I have over 200 hours played on steam and hit lv75 this season as my highest character
molten cobalt
is that 200h in this season alone?
rustic gulch
Nah total
molten cobalt
well then you are an uber casual
rustic gulch
I think this season is maybe 30h total across all character
molten cobalt
30h on ONE character this far into this season isnt even much
30h spread out on multiple is very little
so i doubt you'll hit lvl100
at that pace
rustic gulch
Nah 30h across like 5 characters
It's why I decide to go from HC back to SC
I mean now I'll have my one character
rustic gulch
Still between spark charge LB or glacier sorc.
But I mean I can swap between the two if I get a big Enigma or big mana item
molten cobalt
Nah 30h across like 5 characters
so you play like 1h a day?
rustic gulch
Wait not it's been 56h this season
But I now have my actual character concept ready to go
Spent alot of time just leveling things up to test out
My worry with glacier is hitting crit cap with seed helmet.
I would have like 23% base crot
rustic gulch
I guess with 3 hits and each hit that crits giving back 1% of total mana. I can do fine with like 70-80% total chance
I mean ill have 17% base before any item or crit chance. Like 17% just from base skill
past hedge
damn the new animation when chanelling focus with mana guide looks ridiculous LOL.. was fine the way it was.

Can you post a clip of it
Actually over 200 now gg

Can you post a clip of it
Used to be a T-pose with the weapon in front of you, which looked fine.
cerulean plinth
Interesting. Not sure if I prefer that or the t pose
past hedge
If you prefer this then someone needs to check your harddrive
rustic gulch
Just make the T pose a skill cosmetic
harsh abyss
Yeah, the T pose was better, but it's not that big of a deal

Personal preference, mostly

brother. im trying to make shatter strike work this season but this is what happens when you walk up to a tiny trash mob in an echo
insta bonk
harsh abyss
What corruption are you at?
weary hamlet
wtf is a drowned husk even
hybrid schooner
750, it should not be like this
hybrid schooner
it was the first mele hit as soon as i ran up to this guy
like, tiny little guy
https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/BEmgWKwB my gear is pretty good
silk pewterBOT
hybrid schooner
shit wildly underpowered
blazing root
also is spirit barrage a weaver ability?
Yes
It is the shotgun ability that does a few hits
Not sure if they can be simultaneous and be considered one hit or not, but they're the little blueish projectiles
Think they usually shoot 3
hybrid schooner
i udnerstand that but its the first thing this little trash mob did as soon as u engage it. like unavoidable
blazing root
Yes, same problem I have on MM lol
hybrid schooner
every fight with this spellblade is a fight for life, every single monster has a death threat
sterile pelican
anyone try the hydrahedron rm build this season? how's it play?
potent echo
I played it for a bit, my gear was pretty garbage but it felt okay. I wasn't huge about how uncontrollable their targeting was though.
Stuff like the weaver bosses in tombs it'd waste most of the projectiles on the random adds that do nothing which would severely lower your damage.
That probably kinda gets solved with better gear although idk if there's a way to scale hydrahedron cast rate apart from the box
craggy crest
every fight with this spellblade is a fight for life, every single monster has a...
I tried to do the woven echo where you fight the 10 harbys, half the time I couldn't even stay in melee range because they put a big DOT on the ground that I can't even outleech.
My ehp seems decent....around 4k for one shots but it sure doesn't feel like it lol
hybrid schooner
the devs of this game must get off on making every mob put a death circle on the ground. every omb dude
craggy crest
I had one map where I go up to two Diamond matron and the first ability they both did was the magic laser that I couldn't even avoid lmao
hybrid schooner
witho NO cooldown
craggy crest
Tell me about it I gave up on it lol
Maybe I can go down to 300 instead of 400 but I'll still get one shot by the harbys
hybrid schooner
its actually use to be a lot worse. seams like theyve reduced the number of encounters with the more cancerous mobs. for example the little lighting totem things. some maps they were just everywhere bombing you from off screen and the circiel was impossible to see sometimes
the 10x harby echo does not seam at all to scale with the corruption its suppose to be
like the harbys in uber aberoth are far easier
craggy crest
I was surprised how tanky they were
hybrid schooner
ya exaclty, they are not proportonate to the corruption level
craggy crest
I wasn't shredding them that hard...and I have 15% pen w/ cold shred.
I did see one shatter strike player that did Uber abby
And I wouldn't consider it glass cannon but it has less than 2k HP lol, it's all damage reduction
No CDR though and I don't wanna manually activate enchant weapon :/.
harsh abyss
Does anyone NOT take the auto-activation branch?
hybrid schooner
ya i think no cdr at all is a problem
craggy crest
Does anyone NOT take the auto-activation branch?
This guy didn't lol, IIRC I gotta get the link
hybrid schooner
no ive seen it
craggy crest
I'm so stat starved already tho idk where to put everything
I need health, leech, crit multi, dex because my crit chance is carried off base crit from a pair of scissors rn
I don't even have attack speed yet
hybrid schooner
all your crit comes from passives and your dex
craggy crest
...mana because I'd rather not have less than 200 mana but maybe I should sacrifice it
craggy crest
all your crit comes from passives and your dex
Yeah kinda realized that to late :/, I thought ward retention was better
And then found out it ain't doing to much for me
And I didn't see the flat damage scaling from dex either so...my fault for not reading
hybrid schooner
crit chance is free
maybe try these boots. its an easy lp2 to get your cdr. and are 20% faster than any other shoe
craggy crest
I was thinking about those, I'm using mountain boots right now for the endurance
But I'm sooo slowww
I gotta get a kestrel to probabaly...or a woven I can't really decide which I wanna go with. The thing I like about bonus crit reduction is the extra flat armor with it.
But it would free up other slots
hybrid schooner
u have 1lp mountatin with crit redux?
craggy crest
2 lP mountain w/ T5 Movement speed and T7 max roll CDR
I'd be missing the endurance but....idk I think at this point I'd value the MS than the less one shot potential because it aint one shots killing me, its 3 big hits within short timeframes that kill me
hybrid schooner
3lp kestrel is also anther freebie, should be easy to do
craggy crest
yeee I need to do that...I wanted to try and get a chest piece to imprint beforehand though
I actually got lucky and got a +4
What's good to slam on the kestrel? The +skills, dex, and I assume health after that? Or do we put bonus reduced crit in the chest piece?
hybrid schooner
if you nee crit redux its gotta be there
you can do t7 and 75 crit redux elsewhere and not slot it on chest
this is what i did now that my redux is handled elsewhere
craggy crest
I planned on putting CDR in the belt...but man it sucks to have to give up either dex or the health in the chestpiece
hybrid schooner
ya exactly, chest already fighting for stats
and if you do cdr belt, 2-3lp is super rare so no health
craggy crest
and when I get double red rings its gonna be 11.5 seconds on Enchant weapon...I need 9 seconds :/
Well...I could farm a 4 LP Kestrel I guess....the odds aint that bad right?
craggy crest
Ill just have to give up increased armor
why no hybrid health in belt btw?
Is increased health better in that case?
hybrid schooner
ya
hybrid schooner
i been farming 2lp symied for a week
never seen it
and idk if we have enough leech without doom unles running null chest
unless its on a sword somewhere
leech is the onyl thing keeping us alive cause the ward is almost nothing
flat out on a target duummie and im just over 4k ward
hybrid schooner
with bloody nib on, ward tops out at 3300
3k health, 330 ward. by the time you get to 1k corr everything will hit double that
3300*
i thought i was building this to be tanky but i guess not
i have another 2lp vise gloves i want to slam but i dont know what to put there
mele attack, and was thinking experimental Dot redux, or hybrid health
i mean or just more damage,
craggy crest
Im using the weaver's relic instead of nib
craggy crest
i was thinking of farming that to for maps, im guessing nib is for bossing?
hybrid schooner
the bleed is just deleting ur ward with nib. but if you dont use it on boss you will do like half damage
why does my less damage taken say 2....
i have red ring and shattered world on
this is why
hybrid schooner
10, i didnt have world on at the time. also flat damage recduction dimishes like verything else
two red rings would be 20, but its 19
craggy crest
dang, it's rough out here for SS lol
hybrid schooner
switch back to teleport instead of surge and pulling some of the nodes on the left side. makes tp cooldown too long
prob gonne get the middle bottom nodes
harsh abyss
The ward nodes in teleport are really strong if you're just using it for buffs and not for the free mana spell
Especially if you're stacking health
hybrid schooner
ya thats what im lookn at
craggy crest
Im using TP for the free buffs and just using the ward nodes, I tried to use the free CDR node but uhh....I didn't even notice it tbh so I specced out of it
hybrid schooner
ya its weird, you think it would actively reduce anything that on cooldown right. but no if you scroll over flame shield, it reduces cooldown if you activate a spell within the time frame
it SHOULD work as an active reduction on current cooldowns but nah
unborn ravine
might sound like a stupid question, but when making a build, should you use a unique item in every slot with how crafting works?
hybrid schooner
no. unless you had ALL lp4 items. your portentialy losing a lot of necessary stats
some uniqies that you need to wear for a build you wont find beyond 1lp, so there goes 3/4 of your affixes
unborn ravine
wait some items wont spawn with more than 1lp?
or do you mean itll take forever to find items like that with more than 1
hybrid schooner
exacly my point. yes up to 4lp
certain items its very impractical to even target farm beyond 1-2 lp
lastepochtoos.com will tell you the odds
unborn ravine
oooh i see i see yeah the chances on some are insane how the hell would that even be possible???
hybrid schooner
so ya if you had 4lp eveerything, sure put a uniq item in every slot
but some builds just literally are uniqe if every slot. and they are very difficult to build right when half the items are incredibly rare to see higher than 1-2lp on
unborn ravine
good god yeah thank you!
harsh abyss
I mean, late game every build should probably be a unique in most every slot
Except for sets or really specific base types, uniques are usually gonna be better at the 2lp+ level
rotund pine
is this bugged? i dont see any additional effect
harsh abyss
The visual isnt very visible but it works unless they broke it in a hotfix
rotund pine
i only see the lightning effect but nothing else :( okay
hybrid schooner
unslammed wall of nothing and mountain boots, no endurance anywhere. thinking this chest has some value if i can slam a 2lp. wouldnt have to resist stack like with the null
how does endurance work on it. lets say if you have 10k EHP. and you get hit for 10k, would it just one shot or would it factor in the 50% dr below threshold
would be dope if you could run low life and have that DR apply to the ward
harsh abyss
Yeah, it applies to damage that takes you below the threshold
Do if you have 5k health and 2.5k, 50% endurance, and you take a hit for 3000 (with no other defenses), you'll take 2750 damage (2500 above the threshold and 500 past threshold and reduced by 50% endurance)
hybrid schooner
alright
would be pretty silly if the endurace threshold was nealy all of your health
harsh abyss
The thing about the boots is that you can stack some dodge rating to get a ton of threshold. I think it'll be solid defense if you can get a well rolled Wall. So if you have 3000 dodge, that becomes 3000 endurance threshold, which becomes ALSO 2550 ward threshold
hybrid schooner
hmm
harsh abyss
With those boots, it's VERY easy to have enough endurance threshold to cover your entire life pool
I have a 3lp Ward Trail, and if you stack T7 flat dodge and T5 % dodge on it, you can get like 600 or so dodge just from the belt
hybrid schooner
60% dr on all health sounds wild
harsh abyss
I wish I could stack a bit more damage on my channeled LB build. It just feels so low compared to the meteor spam
But because of the way channeled LB works, you can't really stack much else on top of it like you can with a lot of builds.
hybrid schooner
this cahr is beyond garbage righ tnow
literally a garbage class dude. cant even do the fkn uniqe affix reroll echo
jsut as im slapping them in the face they 1 shot me
unavoidable damage
700 corr with nearly BIS gear double t7 everywhere. it should not be this try hard
i feel like i trying to polish a turd
rustic gulch
Okay decided on what I'll be playing now. Glacier is a bit awkward to aim on controller.
So spark charge rune master is a go. Using ele nova + tp that spawn nova for clear and LB for single target.
Since that character is mostly just scaling via Int stacking
- Enigma flat dmg per int
- ladel cast speed per int
- frost guard ward per int
- ward retention per int
- cooldown per int
- crit chance per int
And then it's just about sustaing mana costs at that stage.
rotund pine
does this get casted on me or on my target?

how to make shatter strike build more tanky
woven yarrow
700 corr with nearly BIS gear double t7 everywhere. it should not be this try ha...
Have u tried LL setup? That should be stable 7k+ ward on minimal setup. Will lose some dmg tho...
hybrid schooner
no never seen it
woven yarrow
After ward gen nerfs I think LL is best for ward atm
My lb build with bis heart gear barely goes over 6k ward
But LL can easily do 10k
hybrid schooner
whats ll
hybrid schooner
i mean i have this. but right off rip you lose half damage cuase no bleed
some kind of new animation when wearing this chest?
woven yarrow
Oh yea rip, no bleed kinda sucks
hybrid schooner
but ya i see the ward already just wit that. let me fid gloves and boots just for kicks
all 3 LL pieces 6600 ward if i dont change anything else, and i lost about 1k health from my slams too. so ya
i see it. maybe good for mapping tho cuase i dont ike to use nib there anyways
hybrid schooner
another bricked vise. and i cant reliably farm uber either
even the str stack mage. ive done it a few times. everything is cake up until the last circle
do i need to make a time rot so i can kill it in 5 hits
smoky barn
I know some would say that he's "EZ", but Normal Aberroth's a pretty challenging boss fight (unless you run a build that melts him down in a minute or less, no doubt).
I will kill him for sure later.
rustic gulch
But LL can easily do 10k
Oww interesting.
How crazy of gear do you need is it the unique/ experimental mods ? As I was thinking about twisted heart + leech
woven yarrow
Oww interesting.
How crazy of gear do you need is it the unique/ experimental ...
lots of life like 2.5k and all 3 LL mods
rustic gulch
lots of life like 2.5k and all 3 LL mods
That's not actually too bad. I thought you needed like 4k life for that much ward.
Got my spark charge idea online and good dmg it's just about defence now mainly.
woven yarrow
for reference i have 1.8k life and 430 retention and have 8k ward
thats with T7 LL mod on gloves
Also like over 1k ward decay threshold from sorc int>decay threshold
rustic gulch
Where's all that ward retention coming from ?
Idols or something or just massive int. I have often seen builds however around 250-300 range
rustic gulch
Ahh big smarts
rustic gulch
That makes sense. I'm planning a fairly tanky build so another 50% from passive tree and possibly some from idols.
Wait actually if I'm LL can't use the ox chest for DR.
woven yarrow
It's kinda bait tbh
If u want Dr, static shell probably more reliable
Dr from armour is probably similar
rustic gulch
Yeah the ox chest is currently bugged with ward also.
Yeah static shell would also give some dmg boost.
As I'm runemaster instead of sorc. Cos stacking all that int also gives ward from frostguard and cooldown
My other concept was just straight up get mana + dmg taken to mana + lost knowledge + Seed helmet.
And then I could use idols like increase lightning dmg at 300 mana.
woven yarrow
you can try flameward dmg to mana first to see how your mana sustain will be
but its not gonna be good
also the flameward dmg to mana affects ward
^^
pretty underrated node
rustic gulch
Yeah that was my issue going sorc and mana stuff
It's why I was thinking runemaster as in your case having 220 int would be
Initial ward of 760
Ward per sec of 600
rugged shell
My lb build with bis heart gear barely goes over 6k ward
Defiantly more reliable atleast.
Since you can get around 1000 ward per sec from being LL without alot of hp investement
rustic gulch
Since you can get around 1000 ward per sec from being LL without alot of hp inve...
How much missing life as ward can you get ?
In that if you have 4k life and ll calc 3.9k missing life (not sure exact value)
If you get 80% of missing life as ward that's like 3k ward per sec ?
rugged shell
Last steps of the living 15% exanguinous (wtvr the name is) body 20% gloves t7 affix 20% so it's 55% at max
Unless I'm missing something
rustic gulch
Ahh so less than I thought
20 chest
20 gloves
Belt ?
I guess with 55% that still like 2k ward per sec
rugged shell
Don't think belt has one
rugged shell
I guess with 55% that still like 2k ward per sec
And you can get alot from passives on mage aswell
Like atleast 300 from mage passives
And ward retention/threshold from int
rustic gulch
Yeah that's true
I guess it's just personal preference I like runemaster. That cooldown based on int does feel nice
rugged shell
It's all about consistent gain vs conditional gain
rustic gulch
But can always change mastery now
But I guess leech + twisted heart works while attacking vs ll is all the time
Might play around with static shell also tho if I'm not LL
warped crow
But can always change mastery now
kinda annoying now
sharp mantle
I think the vessel of strife approach has a lot of merit vs LL or twisted heart tbh
rustic gulch
I think the vessel of strife approach has a lot of merit vs LL or twisted heart ...
Where you getting the regen for it to be worth it ?
Just regen rolls on gear ?
sharp mantle
regen on gear, str stacking with cleaver solution & last bear affix on gloves.
Obviously not applicable to every build but when it works you're getting tons of EHP/s
rustic gulch
Ahh yeah i can see it with str stacker type setup
For my current planner I have like no regen tho
sharp mantle
yeah regen is kind of all or nothing, one or two regen affixes alone is totally worthless
rustic gulch
Yeah that's true
My current thing is more about low life vs just leech + some ward ontop.
Like do I want 4k hp and 4k ward over just like 10k ward but ll
sharp mantle
but if you fully build into it you're really tough, endurance DR and ward regen being faster the lower your ward is lets you survive some really crazy stuff
Ward effectively regens slower the closer to its ward equilibrium is, and you can't take advantage of the highest rate of ward regen because you can't do any health tanking.
That's the key thing imo, when you're dipping into your health on a regen setup you have amazingly high effective recovery between your ward trying to regen and your health regen
and unlike just health + leech setups you have the ward buffer against one-shots in more situations
rustic gulch
Yeah my plan was to go life + leech and then a ward buffer also.
So it was like 4khp + leech then like 4-5k ward
rugged shell
I think the vessel of strife approach has a lot of merit vs LL or twisted heart ...
Have been wondering if builds even use vessel of strife. It seems too nifty.
Also a shame since u can't get shattered lance set bonus with it. Would be kind of too crazy though
hybrid schooner
does strife apply health regen directly to wps? it doesnt actually say
molten cobalt
i always wondered why the fire lizards and their fire puddle were so freakin ridiculously OP
patch notes explains why
also t-pose mage now being floppy bird mage is hilarious
hybrid schooner
lol what
molten cobalt
check the animation
hybrid schooner
i gotta log on that to see
molten cobalt
looks ridiculous
hybrid schooner
oh wtf
molten cobalt
hybrid schooner
ya i guess we cant vall it tpose anymore
hybrid schooner
it would make sense if his animation was in sync with the static pulse but its not
seams like some wasted energy to be concerned with our tpose animation
molten cobalt
yeah not the most well spent time perhaps
hybrid schooner
yuh i spent too much time off the str mage. i was starting to think that my spellblade was a good farmer
i wonder how much area you could get on shatter strike. can we do the entire screen. asking for a friend
its just gloves and neck for area right
placid snow
i am shatterstrike spellblade first time playing this game and it's fun, but idk how to craft gear or upgrade it so i don't understand what my max stats look like
hybrid schooner
well, theres no one way to craft. it really depends a lot on what the piece looks like initially
start forging and crafting as soon as youre able. no reason to wait
the only things youll want to use sparingly are havoc and redemption runes. i would not bother burning those early game
@placid snowshatter strike, or any spellblade is a relatively challenging class to play. i enjoy the play a lot. but its cute compared to what some other builds can do
area with 2h on
thats the world splitter which has even more area
rustic gulch
Hey anyone got a link to a ward calculator
As just realised with just frostguard + 200 odd int is have 550 ward per sec and 400 retention. So wanna know how much that actually gives
rustic gulch
Yeah so my guess was about right. Frostguard + 200 int is 4k ward. Without any other ward stuff.

hey, this combo gives me fire cold cold for runic invo with the skill bar node that gives runes based on elements (snap freeze place holder until I get frost wall) tho it should give cold fire cold per BinaQ video, I cant see a way to convert teleport to cold?

In his video he converts flame ward to cold and frost wall to fire
hybrid schooner
right
rustic gulch
To get the right runes for frostguard you sort of need multiple skill slots to make sure you can convert stuff
hybrid schooner
what build he using frostguard on
rustic gulch
Spark charge
I took the core concept and changes it a little for some more clear speed. His is more single target style with spark charge explode to clear
hybrid schooner
wouldnt worry about the frostguar until u can convert and have the right spells. its just ward
rustic gulch
Basically since you already scale int for ladel cast speed and Enigma for flat dmg frostguard just let's you also scale ward via frostguard
But I mean before mono I just leveled and used the runic invocation for pure cast speed buff and random runes
His build sort of requires like lv70 or so to start.
But the thing I like is ele nova + tp. With enough nova aoe you tp spawns 3 nova that all overlap + Enigma base 1 from tp.
So clearing is just up big cooldown and tp around
smoky barn
All the ele nova synergies are fun to use.
rustic gulch
Yeah just something about running up to a boss and tp like 1 pixel to spawns 5 spark charges on the boss

As in make the aoe bigger or is it just Enigma 200% and anything else is not noticble ?
hybrid schooner
yo doing nova claw spark charge?
if so, try this node at left side of claw tree
rustic gulch
I can't take that node cos it messes up rune colours
hybrid schooner
err i mean nova tree
rustic gulch
I'm doing nova for clear and LB for single target
Yeah nova is what I'm using for a fire rune
hybrid schooner
should shouldnt change the element order
rustic gulch
Nah to take this id have to turn it into cold
And then it becomes blue rune
Ele nova + types and runic invocation interacts very weirdly
rustic gulch
Well I'd need to change flame ward til fire
proper hawk
multi-element skills will give the rune you have the least of iirc
hybrid schooner
clear on that node was pretty cool. thats all
proper hawk
so if you are going for cfc, you should be able to grab the cold node and still have a fire rune from ele nova

How does Mastery of the Invoker work? Like if I'm using Epilogue to trigger runic invocation with flame rush, there's a chance that my invocation gets double cast? Or
potent echo
It wouldn't work with Epilogue because that's still casting runic invocation, just indirectly.
It's meant to be paired with stuff like power word: Devastation in glyph of Domination.
(No clue if there's any other effects like that tbh, I just know that one exists)
Oh it'd also work off the Imbued Runestone in Runebolt
broken pecan
so I'm running a Hydraedon build but I've gone back to do the last bit of the campaign for that +1 all attributes, but... sometimes I do the flame rush to trigger the runes and... nothing happens

Do you have the mana? If you don't have enough to trigger runic invocation it just won't trigger
broken pecan

everything is doubled with an extra sword isnt it?
rugged shell
The reens buff doesn't stack
floral pier
the chance to ignite does tho
the idea was to mega stack ignites on mobs then bomb them with enchant weapon, conflagration
floral pier
you can get 314% chance to ignite per sword
if you are really cracked and you get bleed chance and use mahelins hubris to convert it to ignite, you can get 248 ignite chance per sword
rugged shell
Cause ignites should inherit more DMG multipliers from skills etc.
rugged shell
Then you get +2x more damage from conflag
rugged shell
time two, you get 8.5 ignites per hit
Tbh the best way may be a frostclaw angle
floral pier
yeah the conflag pops were off tap but i couldnt stop dying so idk, maybe too much focus on damage
rugged shell
With el nova trigger
Yeah actually lol.
Just spec enchant weapon bottom left tree completely and just use it for single target lul
floral pier
i was using flame reave with sunwreath and spreading flames to clear trash, was ok

Frostclaw is just way too good at stacking procs

@broken pecanno definitely not better. if you compare scissors to the purple crystal sword (which wwas best in slot before scissor was in the game), the scissor is essentially a more powerful version of that.

polar prism
Is runemaster hydrahedron good?
sharp mantle
if you make full use of the frost wall bug/snapshot then yes
sharp mantle
there's a frostwall node which increases the damage of the next invocation based on how long the frostwall has lived when you pass through the frostwall.
If you only trigger and never directly cast runic invocation then that buff lasts forever
polar prism
not really a snapshot just a bug
sharp mantle
so you go through your frost wall a moment before it ends and trigger the hydra cast then you have a huge damage multiplier to all hydra casts until or unless you actually press the invocation button, which you don't have to because you're always triggering it with that movement skill
hybrid schooner
make helm and chest with t7 frostwall duration. put those items on > cast frost wall > go through frost wall at the last second > do not do through another frost wall > do not hard cast invocation
sharp mantle
yeah, it is more of a bug than a snapshot in the minion sense, but it is snapshotting and preserving that temporary buff from frost-wall so it isn't entirely misleading to describe it that way.
I think it's a bug too fwiw
sharp mantle

it's not exactly a durable setup, but the playstyle can be very very safe and mostly just offscreen stuff

in the case of purples its not the affix that is locking it to class, its already class locked and the affix shows up becuase of that.

- i keep dying in monos (600c). is it normal to kinda walk around and die or am i lacking in defenses somewhere? ill admit im much squishier than when i was playing str RM. i was much tankier but i dont particularly feel like im just carelessly walking into mobs and dying but im dying very easily now.

LOL I was going to ask the same thing, I like hydra playstyle but wow sometimes you just fold over on dumb attacks

if you lightning convert fire aura does the 50% chance to shred fire resist convert to lightning res shred from the spellblade tree?
smolbrain idea but mana guide with ignivars head means you can just keep walking and channeling fire auras

yes, same with cold convert.

yes but unfortunately fire aura is in a bad state.

it was nerfed in the patch but the tooltip wasnt updated
Yeah I figured it out. It's updated in the gameplay guide just not the tooltip on the character sheet

is black hole scalable to uber level?

Do you guys find ;it worth running ambition idol even during "trash clears"
Seems to me like something to swap in for bosses

Honestly if there was idol loadouts I could see it being worthwhile
but who would carry around 4 or so idols to hotswap, like we can currently.

Is Disintegrate just bad? Like I haven't tried it with a +4 to it yet, but no synergy with any mage mastery passives (ok, there is the runemaster elemental dmg), but feels not great to use. Looks fricken cool tho with dual beam

its not terrible but its an average build, and there is no realistic way that it is uber viable if that's your criteria
I used to run it in 500+ corr last patch and currently my disintegrate alt is sitting around 350 with turbo shit gear but I haven't been playing it in a while
lost grotto
hmm ok ty, I'll keep working on it then
weary hamlet
mastery cornerstone passives are also irrelevant in this game in 99% of cases, you can forget about those
disintegrate has a lot of synergy in the RM tree but it's mostly for lightning, and lightning's problem is that it wants a lot of mana to use that more damage per max mana node just to not be worse than fire
lost grotto
ya I have fire based right now with disintegrate for aeo and fireball for ignite stacks
weary hamlet
dont spread thin, disintegrate has little in common with any other skill in terms of scaling, focus just on it
lost grotto
oh, you mean like you kill boss with it too?
weary hamlet
you kill everything with it, why have two skills when one does the job
lost grotto
the ramp up does do a lot of dmg, but you have to stand still and takes a lot of mana so I was like I'll just die to boss. I'll try that, ty
so idea is you just get items focused completely on one skill? with some defense ofc
weary hamlet
well the turret playstyle is why its not uber viable, but you can build enough defenses so that only occasional dodging of major mechanics is needed
weary hamlet

that's just the general idea in any kind of arpg and on every build in LE too, you use more than one primary skill when you have to, not because you want to
scaling one thing well is better than scaling multiple things poorly

also with lucomancer stacks you can dodge and resume channeling high tier beam
lost grotto
huh ok, I just thought that focus one on aeo, another on single target was the way to go. Cause like with both fireball and disintegrate the main annoying thing is I wanna be taking ignite chance which is bad for disintegrate aka my main map clear. But I have to have it for fireball or boss doesn't die. Other fire/elemental/dmg over time scaling is ok. Oh I guess the other thing that is not ideal is taking nodes for ignite duration.... time to do some respecing 😄
weary hamlet
yeah you already answered your own question, fireball and disintegrate have very little overlap in scaling so you can't leverage both effectively at the same time
cause sure of course you have some overlap but i.e. fireball really wants cast speed while it has no effect on disintegrate, etc

anyone knows any actyual lightning blast builds that utilize lightning blast as a damage skill or is it so bad that only smth like spark charges or similar variant is viable?
weary hamlet
I ran focal blast at the start of the season, its a bit of a meme but I guess its viable at 500+- corr
dusk sluice
Im just looking for a build like lightning blast (but actual skill chaining and killing not procing smth else) or any kind of aura like skills to run around + teleport* killing everything passively. looking for to jump into CoF

You definitely gotta run focal blast for that. Its like fireball and flamethrower, only way to make its damage alone scale up enough is to slap a massive mana cost channel on it.
dusk sluice
focal blasT? never heared of it, any links to a build guide to check ?
weary hamlet
spec focal blast and spark nova, you don't have points in lb for much else anyways
use ice barrage either for boss damage in a damage build or as a steroid with the more cold damage branch
that's more or less it
harsh abyss
I've always wanted to try the mana stack disintegrate build
weary hamlet
its on my list.. somewhere on the flip side
harsh abyss
I'm already trying out a mana stack focus build, I should be able to swap over relatively easily.
weary hamlet
Im more interested in that tech that some guy smoked up last week, using spine of maltharos (sp?) for +6 to disintegrate
the only problem is, swords can't have the ele dot affix
dusk sluice
oh focal blast is a skill tree point let me see
ooh it removes chain, but its so satisfying to chain, the whole point of the skill is chainining through enemies

second part of this sounds like brand of deception

second part of this sounds like brand of deception
that was one of the possible builds to do, but was just wondering if theres anything else of similar playstyle, as imho on bigger bosses that dot ticking super slow and takes ages even if individual hits are good.

on bosses you swap invocation to lightning web or similar
can do uberroth with it, though you kinda need frostwall snapshot for it, unless you want to manually use frostwall for damage, which is basically pulling all your hair out
molten cobalt
bruh
dungeon gave me 0 havoc
literally 0
i only chose rune options
and duplication stuff
what a scam
dusk sluice
on bosses you swap invocation to lightning web or similar
swapping invocation for smth else? I playd spark auto cast version where all that was needed is switch spark for ward spell to not autocast and then charge bombard the boss to trigger big dots
it was working on 500+ corrupt with mediocre 1 tops 2 lp gear
molten cobalt

the brand of deception build has one aoe map clear invocation and one single target boss invocation
dusk sluice
but killing some tankier bosses was taking quite some time coz those big dots were going for ages even if big numbers
molten cobalt
you just swap the skills on the skill bar
dusk sluice
def played diff version
molten cobalt
you still talk about spark and lb
brand of deception has nothing to do with either of those
it's an autobomber build
which is what you asked for earlier
dusk sluice
yeah I was runnign spark to auto cast lb to trigger brand of deception dot ticks
it was from YT BigDaddy
molten cobalt
i see
never even seen that version
most trigger brand with invocation which is triggered with flame rush
dusk sluice
but eventually he scaled way way faster than I could catch up so I stopped eventually xD
I mean build was litteraly run around autocasting Lb and therefore autocasting invocation
on big mobs drop blast charge or whats its called for those juicy big dot ticks
but those ticks are so slow xD
molten cobalt
you mean this?
dusk sluice
I might have confused spark name with static name
molten cobalt
i suppose if you actually spec into LB to make it cost 15 mana
dusk sluice
used this
to then trigger deception via LB that yes costed 15 mana
and u just run around all dies.
molten cobalt
and u just run around all dies.
yeah this im familiar with
1 hit dead
or rather, 1 tick dead
dusk sluice
yeah, cons for me was dropping static orb on bosses for ticks of deception
ticks were nice smth like 90-100k with my setup, but so damn slow, area bosses + big guy was taking ages because of that
molten cobalt
dunno what is more efficient, but i like the version where flame rush triggers invocation which then triggers brand
dusk sluice
can ya drop a link to it never seen that version curiosu how it plays
molten cobalt
ticks were nice smth like 90-100k with my setup, but so damn slow, area bosses +...
thats it?!
100k per tick?
dusk sluice
as I was currently running judgement aura build, loved it, but apparently in later stages you MUST switch all skills to auras to rise defence and damage and was left with no movement skills
dusk sluice
thats it?!
I think, cant remember now for sure was few weeks now
molten cobalt
100k per tick is incredibly low
dusk sluice
bossess of mono on 400-500+ corrupt were taking me at least 5-7 minutes
molten cobalt
wooow
dusk sluice
but then my gear wasnt that good
wait I think I can import my gear didnt change it from then
molten cobalt
let me find a video to show you a timeline boss at 1200 ish corr
dusk sluice
it might have been higher but Im not sure
dusk sluice
let me find a video to show you a timeline boss at 1200 ish corr
yes please, coz I saw my version of build also running 1000c + corrupt with no problem 😄

ooooh that one I think I just saw thi build today on YT while searching
molten cobalt
that would be the single target invocation
lightning web
1mil+ per tick
on a timeline boss
and thats with zero runic energy
with 45 stacks of runic energy and a dummy my ticks are 12mil+

thats sounds insane, how good of a gear it was? as ya can see in my link I was using pretty trashy gear, but it was as good as I could get xD
heres build guide I was following https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrUy3P_V_Lo

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/oR9yz5YB this is the gear I got now, but you definitely don't need double t7 slams for example
silk pewterBOT
dusk sluice
oh red rings too xD
dusk sluice
ye but +40 all res and -40 all damage
dusk sluice
without them where to even find so many res xD
molten cobalt
without them where to even find so many res xD
idols
i got 0 res on the medium idols
dusk sluice
I mean - 2 rings, some res can be on those too I guess
either way, any actual build guide, I need some holding hand to understand it all especially leveling part as its my first CoF run (if I dont count barely hitting monos on my judgement aura build)
molten cobalt
in the video you linked i see he isnt 1 shotting everything even on 900c
dusk sluice
yeah he wasnt 😄
molten cobalt
so thats alread worse
dusk sluice
he did kill bosses and so one, later on upgraded build massively and even killed uber abo but with few changes
molten cobalt
i one shot everyting on 1500 and i never bothered even trying to go higher
others have done up to 2500
dusk sluice
sounds great, was thid build form YT Pinchingloaf channel?
molten cobalt
i did however carry a noob on 1500 so thats technially 1500 + 70% health to monsters i believe
and still 1 shot everything
molten cobalt
sounds great, was thid build form YT Pinchingloaf channel?
pinchingloaf?

dusk sluice
molten cobalt
no
dusk sluice
nice clickbaiting people to go look further and do not even check video 😄
molten cobalt
but more of a row your boat or flappy bird animation
looks totally dumb
he also tested some stuff out like triggering brand with flame rush that he made do damage and have larger AOE
that version kinda sucked
dusk sluice
from which video do I start even theres so many updates
molten cobalt
the version im using isnt even in one of his videos
he always tried to stick to the err whats the name
the invocation that gives shock chance
covenant arc
i use plasma orb for clear and lightning web for boss
he uses plasma orb and covenant arc
dusk sluice
so which one is better and is there a proper guide? found this of his showing leveling and other stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcsX7zLNd5s or is yours better?
molten cobalt

thats what me and everyone else started with
from lvl1 to int stacking to str stacking
dusk sluice
so I use that from the link till what point ? 100 corrupt? 500 corrupt? or more
just to know at which point I got look for smth upgraded
molten cobalt
just watch that tutorial to understand the steps and more importantly WHEN to take the steps
gear wise, skill wise and passive wise you can look at the loadout I sent and compare
a lot of stuff is a matter of taste
are you fixing crit avoid with helmet or belt? stuff like that
do you want leech in passive tree because you chose crit avoid helmet?
dusk sluice
so you using what that fire dash to hit the ticks and his using smth else ?
molten cobalt
less important stuff like that
molten cobalt
so you using what that fire dash to hit the ticks and his using smth else ?
not even he stuck with that version
it felt horrible
no directly triggering brand with flame rush
