[proven haven]

Naw I was talking direct cast

No belt

6 meteor = 18 FC cast = 0.42 per FC ele nova = a bunch of spark charges from enigma etc etc

182 hits

Spark nova chain shenanigans whatever

[strong lake]

Darn....almost one cycled that stupid squid before being launched into phase 2

[unborn hamlet]

you get launched into phase 2 even if u delete him

very stupid boss fight

what could have been 😔

without the sealed void res

[half pollen]

Whats the issue with the sealed void res?

[summer galleon]

cant seal something else after havoc to add the lightning pen set thingy probably

[unborn hamlet]

yea

something along the lines of this

tho this was a random set item corrupt outcome that turned out to be goated

buuuuuut that doesnt mean ill stop trying lady luck for a better one xD

[proven haven]

3t7 or bust

[unborn hamlet]

real

t7 light t7 vilatra t7int t7 added int on this exact base or go home frfr

[proven haven]

The dream

Maybe settle for added lightning crit multi corrupt

T7

[unborn hamlet]

that one is an acceptable outcome too

ive tried to corrupt over 600 lich gloves so far

nothing good

and that is mathematically the easiest one to get a good outcome too cos gloves cant roll much xd

[proven haven]

Can you really beat weaver?

[unborn hamlet]

you can

if u cant weave any for shit

[proven haven]

Rip

I was kinda hoping I could corrupt weaver gloves first then weave them

But can't be modified of course

[unborn hamlet]

these are the best i got

its not even better than the super mid gloves i use now

losing that 1 skill point is too much of a DPS loss to justify weaver

[proven haven]

T7 int t7 cast with with perfect rolls / or cast speed corrupt probably wins

But yeah

GL with that

[unborn hamlet]

yea i mean i weave all i get

even 15ww ones

its just i cant even get int or cast speed to spawn lmao

i keep getting throwing speed or dmg or minion related crap

on my set corrupts too

over 600, i hit t7 cast speed 5 times and t7 int 3 times

kinda sad

[strong lake]

what's good HP and Ward on a mage? First time playing one. 3k HP and 7k sustained ward?

[unborn hamlet]

thats more than i have and i got no issues at 1500corr

its more about being capped on all resistances and get as much damage reductors as u can

rather than raw HP

[proven haven]

Weird.. int is 0 RR chance innit?

Sus

[kindred oxide]

This depends. Those are only two defensive layers.

So like, that's really good if you're also crit immune, have lots of Armor, capped resistances and endurance, and other sources of damage reduction

[strong lake]

3k HP, 7k Ward, crit immune, 67% armor mitigation, all res's 107, -47% less damg taken from all sources

[kindred oxide]

Yeah I think that's pretty damn tanky

at like 3k HP and 2.5k ward. I survived getting hit by 2 out of three triple flail slams from uber.

If you have another 5k ward over and above that , u good haha

[unborn hamlet]

no way

they actually fixed something useful??

[harsh abyss]

No spellblade fix for their melee damage a spell damage 😢

[sour basalt]

@cloud dew I didn't expect to see you spellunking with spellblade, that's legit a crazy fast uber kill

[cloud dew]

thank you lol appreciate it

flame reave exceeded my own expectations tbh

[sour basalt]

I read the patch notes and I didn't even consider it would be such a huge impact. Are the buffs limited to overlapping changes for flamereave specifically? I'm always on the lookout if I can play anything with frost claws or hydrahedron

[cloud dew]

well it's mostly just that anything melee can have insane damage this patch from the brutality/rampancy + frenzy belt combo (though most of the time it also guts your defense)

i thought flame reave was especially cool cause it has this node that gives +32 flat fire dmg during frenzy, and in 1.4 it scales with frenzy effectiveness so you can get over 250 flat from that

non-melee builds for the most part didn't quite get the same powercreep, i looked at some stuff but it's hard to really find some convincing damage aside from the usual known builds

[kindred oxide]

Oh holy crap really? Lol I didn't know the flat fire damage scaled with that.

[cloud dew]

apparently it didnt always use to but now it does

[kindred oxide]

I wonder if this makes this mode better than some of the mulplicative damage ones when you have 100% sw

I was wondering what this build was capable of with a dedicated boss killer build. Thats really cool

My all-purpose build kills uber in like 1:20

[cloud dew]

oh you're kevchoy on youtube

lol

that makes sense

i watched your videos before making my spellblade

[kindred oxide]

And yeah flame reave exceeded my expectations too. It feels very similar power in and style of play as erasing strike.

Lol I might try to build what you're doing. I have some of those pieces. Some LP2 stardial.

That's wicked

[cloud dew]

i think it feels great to play in maps but the tankiness isn't quite there for me, seems like you have to invest a lot to get worse tankiness than other standard broken builds

and of course the damage also goes down quite a bit when you invest into defense

[cloud dew]

it's pretty fun tbh lol, dmg is a bit overkill on my setup too so idk if you can include firebrand and swap just a couple items you might get 40s uber kills without having to change too much

[kindred oxide]

Yeah maybe. I feel about as tanky as erasing strike in similar gear tbh. But even then erasing isnt the tankiest either.

[cloud dew]

i think ES is way tankier

[kindred oxide]

Coulda been my build too.

For omens veil, I've been using gloves with ward on kill.

From a corruption.

And it makes me unkillable

[cloud dew]

but also i think my damage standard has gone up since i last played ES so maybe i wouldnt say the same thing now

[kindred oxide]

For high corruption too, but at about 2k corruption is when shade is oneshotting me with autos.

[cloud dew]

yeah ward on kill for omens veil sounds like a good idea

you can have it as an experimental too

which i guess is what you mean? like you corrupted into an experimental

[kindred oxide]

Yeah exactly. I didn't even think to get that at all. But corrupted into a T5 experimental.

It can just be gotten with a LP2

[cloud dew]

yeah i used that last season early on on lich

[kindred oxide]

For extra tankiness, I would go two red rings. And the sunwreath from my skill tree.

[cloud dew]

flame reave is pretty cool but yeah unfortunately not on the same level as rogue/lich/sentinel rn

[kindred oxide]

I'm spending like 5 points to get 50% crit multi as it is, I might move those to frenzy if it does what you said lol.

[cloud dew]

well i'm grabbing them because i have over 800% frenzy effectiveness with rampancy

you'd have to do the math to see if it's worth it for you

[kindred oxide]

Yeah it's a solid A-tier. Honest, but does everything well.

[cloud dew]

yeah it's a great honest build lol i'm just not into ethical builds anymore 😂

[kindred oxide]

Yeah lmao... I have some good Str Dex Exulis

[cloud dew]

rampancy is vit

but ya

[kindred oxide]

Oh right. I have thst too.

Nice

[cloud dew]

im thinking about doing the same thing with shatterstrike if i find some free time for that, havent really looked deep into it yet

[kindred oxide]

I'm like, only into ethical builds. Lol.

I bet you would get even better results with shatter Strike.

[cloud dew]

but shatter has always been capable of 40s kills even since 1.2 im pretty sure so i'd be surprised if it doesn't perform as well

[kindred oxide]

But that rampancy tech

Def takes this to next level

[cloud dew]

yeah idk about even better cause FR did get some good buffs this patch, i'll have to do the math but yeah it'll kill in 40s

[kindred oxide]

Anyway yeah thanks for finding this tech. I def wanna try it!

[cloud dew]

np lol have fun with it

[sour basalt]

I'll give it a go as well

[kindred oxide]

The tech to use flamebrand during uber's heavily mitigated phases is hilarious haha. I love it.

[cloud dew]

i mean tbh firebrand is a massive dmg buff and you only have to press it like once every 6 seconds ish

so it's pretty worth regardless

just not something you'd bother with in maps

[half pollen]

People would sell their own Mother before pressing more than one button for damage though

[hollow bolt]

facts

[normal ibex]

anyone doing omen veils

[weary hamlet]

lol wasn't following for a few days, new patch dropped. 20 rogue fixes, 10 sentinel fixes, 0 mage fixes - typical ehg

[kindred oxide]

What were the rogue fixes? Was something causing Uber Aberroth to live for a second frame?

[inner wagon]

Probably that enemies were allowed to appear on screen

Was just supposed to be piles of loot on floor

[agile sparrow]

what exactly about this is bugged currently?

[left hill]

typed melee damage (e.g. cold melee damage) doesn't convert, only adaptive (non-typed) melee damage

[agile sparrow]

ohh tahts sad, i was trying to figure out how to tell if this was working or not and couldn't come up with any good way to tell

does anyone know if the corruped mod on weapons works on addaptive damage?

[kindred oxide]

The bug is just flat melee damage on weapon, all other sources of flat damage don't convert. Imo they should lol

[nimble shoal]

Isn't that expected?

[agile sparrow]

was refering to this mod which has very similar wording to the spellbalde passive

[kindred oxide]

Ohhh yeag

Lol

[kindred oxide]

Idk I feel like if the mastery bonus converted melee damage to spell damage, it would be intuitive to also have it convert melee fire damage to spell fire damage.

Just on principle.

[agile sparrow]

I really feel like it could be read either way, but the reason I assumed that non generic damage would be convverted is this tooltip which seems to be a similar mechanic in reverse

[kindred oxide]

This game has great systems, but a lot of the skill and class designs are jank.

When a class that just got overhauled still feels unfinished.

[kindred oxide]

Yeah, lol.

[agile sparrow]

according to flame reave typed added spell damage counts

[kindred oxide]

Yes, that is further evidence thst it was simply an oversight.

Because they were clearly aware when they made arcane severance

That's a great point lol

[nimble shoal]

Right, is that not what it does?

[agile sparrow]

apparently not

what proof does anyone have that its bugged?

I wish the character sheet in game just how much spell fire damage I had

[kindred oxide]

not the latter part. like, if it's elemental, it will not actually convert. that's what the "bug" is. likely an oversight. i doubt it's intentional.

i doubt somebody at a board room said "nope, we must not let spellblades have this 40 spell damage.

[nimble shoal]

You're meaning that you don't gain typed melee damage as spell damage? If so, yeah that's definitely a bug.

[strong lake]

oh is spell blades passive only working with "global" melee damg+ and not type specific?

[nimble shoal]

Okay yeah, that was super easy to test and, as expected, yes you do gain typed melee damage on your weapons added to your spells

why did anyone think it didn't work?

[strong lake]

no idea.

[agile sparrow]

how do you test this?

i feel like half the time people say stuff in this discord is because last epoch tools says itworks that way but they dont really know everything

[nimble shoal]

I equipped a melee weapon with no damage affixes on it, shoot a fireball at a dummy, then change to a different weapon of the same type with the only damage affix on it +melee cold damage, shoot fireball at a dummy

I think a lot of times people look at tooltip or don't know how to design a test properly

[strange needle]

It also doesn't help thay many stuff doesn't even work properly or the tooltips are plain wrong or lying

[agile sparrow]

theres also thsi bug

so some stuff is clearly not working

[strange needle]

Had to go naked to prove if corrupted form lich worked or not

Since cant get answer from dev only mod

[agile sparrow]

so comparing tooltips is hard

because the stats dont update correctly

(my actual added spell damage with those two wepons is 127 btw) it updates to a 2nd new value when I change zones with both eqiuped

but I tested this on a dummy and I do actually get the wrong damage values while its showing me the wrong number

which means if you are using a gavel like I am you need to go to end of tiem and back to the arena every time you change a piece of gear or your dps test will be wrong

[nimble shoal]

Yeah, wouldn't surprise me if gavel is bugged

[agile sparrow]

there is some interaction between gavel and the spellblade passive that is bugged i dont know exactly what it is but loading screens seem to work it out most of the time

every once in a while I open my character sheet in an echo and im missing 40 spellpower unexplicably though

[nimble shoal]

It's quite possible it doesn't apply appropriately when swapping items

[strong lake]

This also happens with "Harmony of the first one" it will randomly bug if you swap pieces of gear. Like if you swap out a magic item for a rare you will lose the bonus and if you put back on the magic item you will still have lost the bonus. And it will only reapply it if you reequip harmony itself

[left hill]

probably because enough folks were saying it day 1 of patch that others (like myself) who started later took them at their word and just planned around it. why the original folks said it idk

[nimble shoal]

Yeah, it does usually happen that way

[left hill]

might make Dark Shroud Fire Aura viable actually. maybe.
edit: okay, nope

[agile sparrow]

I also think a lot of people think it doesn't work because it doesn't work in last epoch tools

[left hill]

yeah, that might be where it started & part of what keeps it going

[agile sparrow]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/oP6Y5lgY this lists my fire spell damage as 0 (and claims that gavel doesn't work with reforged set items) both of these things seem to be false

[twilit jasper]

ladles anyone

ironically a 3lp is my best one i believe

would something like this be considered to be "better"?

[strong lake]

Now that's the kind of speed roll i'm looking for. thank you nemesis

When I get something of equal strength i'll corrupt it and see if it bricks or gets better

i'm a ignite build so DoT/AoE wouldn't be bad

I'll also take even MORE attack speed

I got bored.....

and ruined it

[marsh furnace]

What skill do you play with this?

[strong lake]

Firebrand igniter with procs

using wildfire amulet for more volcanus procs as the wildfire amulet says "Skills casted by wildfires count as "You" casting them". Causes Volcanus to proc like 10 times a second while in combat with something with actual HP

As the wildfires are using firebrand and my cooldown flame reaves constantly

The wraith of the dormant volcano

wish I had some bigger shoulder pad MTX

[half pollen]

Dark shroud of cinder pretty much requires shadow beacon. Its the only good source of void spell damage. And imo its actually quite good when leveling. You just need cinder chest and shadow beacon and you hit stuff quite hard with the fire aura stacks spellblade gets for free. Its 1000 to 2000% void damage for basically no item investment. Scaling it to lategame is the issue though.

[left hill]

there's also Lament and (if you're galaxy-brained, Harmony of the First)

and yeah, I was looking at end-game numbers, mathed it out, and it looked terrible

[half pollen]

Flame reave forced into void felt pretty good early on but im pretty sure it has the same lategame issues

[fringe sable]

Hey guys hope you're having a good day/night.
I would like some help or opinions on a build im trying to make.
For short its an infinite loop of frost claw and meteor.
Link to the maxroll planner: https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/planner/hdhen50u
The loop as been tested and it worked perfectly. Its self substaining and even add more loop at the same time without the need to maintain it.
The thing is ... the mana cost. You start with 1 or 2 meteor and you end up with 20 and even 60 if you have the mana to substain it.
And im trying to find a way to make it well WILD.
The mana cost forst frost claw is already reduced to 2, elemenjtal nova (just help with the loop proc) is 0, and meteor is around 25.

Im posting this here hoping that someone with more game knowledge than me can find a way to make this built "A bit to much"
Note: the loop has been tested without proper gear but it work.

Many thanks 🙂

[half pollen]

Get a good bit of mana, like 1000, then spec focus with increased mana reg per missing mana. Get the primordial head that pretty much doubles your mana reg and you are looking at 160 mana per second.

Never tried it, but that would be my idea on how to solve mana on meteor without going mana strike

[fringe sable]

I already have a 1000 mana but im usin the scolar ring that reduces your mana and mana cost by an average of 50%. I've realise that while it divide mana cost by 54% max roll, the node that reduced mana cost are not affected.

Focus is already on the built, the think is that its and infinite stacking of the loop so no matter the build you will eventually run out of mana regen ^^

im more aiming to stack like 60 meteor or even 100 x)

[half pollen]

Well you need some way to replenish mana and the only options are mana strike or focus

[fringe sable]

yup im actually working on this x) but mana strike is a problem cause well we dont have any attack speed and focus is already the key stone of the build. My next guess is to find some item that can give cost efficiency

the planner is IMO not perfect there is still things than may change like the body armor but im getting a headache with all this x)

I will also look into the helmet you talked about see if i can make something with that thanks for the tips though 🙂

[umbral perch]

i tested with Hammer of Lorent, and flat melee per character level does not convert to spell (just tested it again). regular flat damage affix does convert in my testing using your method, awesome. disintegrate gives very consistent damage numbers which is nice for testing

[kindred oxide]

thanks for this firebrand idea. I adapted your version and maxroll's version that uses fire aura to sustain. so instead of mana strike, i use firebrand. i hate mana strike, i used it as a compromise to not need fire aura either, but i think this is the lesser evil lol.

anyway, my kills are faster now without changing gear. not quite as fast as yours ofc

[spring crag]

unfortunately unless you can stun lock uberroth, you will never get a less than 36 sec kill

due to its phase transition

I don't know how but shattering strike always triggers its final phase transition while cold flay lich does not (and thus bypasses this phase)

[weary hamlet]

bro come on you aren't in azeroth anymore

[kindred oxide]

fair enough haha. i dont really aspire to that. im kinda just killing him in practical gear, i swap out an idol and thats it haha

i think i can get him in under a minute though

my fastest is 1:08

didnt change anything, just swapped out fireball for firebrand. gonna try both and not have any traversal.

[spring crag]

yeah, it's possible

but less than 36 sec with shattering strike, idk, I don't think it's possible if you have no stun

you need to slam some increased stun chance affix to do that (and tbh it's not worth doing so)

[cloud dew]

not entirely true

and I'm not talking one shots

[spring crag]

hmm, at least have not happened to me yet, unless you have a very strong build with some "trick" like stun lock or "terrify enemies from transplant" (or use extremely strong attacks like time rot) to skip the annoying phase transition I can't see how you could kill uberroth under 36 seconds.

[wild nymph]

help i didnt pray hard enough

[robust junco]

Time to

[nimble shoal]

Ah, yeah, special effects like that, buffs (like Jasper's buff) and boosted affix effect (like gavel or harmony) are not technically on the weapon, so they won't count toward the SB passive

[runic delta]

so guide is telling me to invoce runes CFC but no matter what i do its CFF

am I missing something?

[proven haven]

You must read immutable order in Runic invo tree

Your 3rd skill must be cold.

[runic delta]

it is but because of

nvermind

missing a point in flame ward

still for some reason my damage is so low

sop.. when empowering uniques they can be destroyet??

[strong lake]

corrupting?

[runic delta]

no

When you fight this spawn boss on monolith

you put a unique in and empower it

nightmare?

Nemesis

my item just dissapeared

[robust junco]

It should not

[runic delta]

will it be there on the next nemesis I find?

[robust junco]

Did you Empower it twice and the 3rd time. You hit challenge?

Ah yes

If you clicked empower

[runic delta]

no i just placed it and pressed empower

[robust junco]

Then youll find it next time with either lp or an affix on ot

You can empower a second time

[runic delta]

damn so its gonna be a while with out that

[robust junco]

I am pretty sure there is a pop up for that we you add your item in the egg

No?

[runic delta]

tbh I didnt read anything

[nimble shoal]

Yeah, there's a big warning that explains you won't have the item for a hot minute

[runic delta]

thats going to be a long hot minute

[strong lake]

You can spec your weaver tree for nemesis encounters alongside woven echo procs for the "conquest tower" you will be drowning in nemesis encounters with them specc'd

but yeah when you use a nemesis egg a warning will pop up saying "This item will be locked until obtained do not put anything in here if you do not have a replacement on hand"

[runic delta]

ok appreciate it

[wild nymph]

is spark charge spellblade just dead after enigma and vilatria nerf

[harsh abyss]

It should be fine I believe, you can still get like 400+% spark charge application chance for melee attacks, and if you do FC + LB trigger with Dragorath's it should still be reasonably strong.

[dark copper]

im kinda new to this and this is probably wrong question but how can I know which ring is this ?

[harsh abyss]

So there is a set item called Ferebor's Presistence. That's what you look for to start

Then there's a complex series of crafting steps to build that specific ring

[dark copper]

through the set crafting woven echo ?

[harsh abyss]

Yeah, you use the echo to break the set into shards (you'll probably want a few)
Then drop a ring with T7 + T6 modifiers with one of the mods on it being intelligence, hopefully with the other prefix open.
Craft Ferebor onto the open prefix
Use Glyph of Despair to seal the Ferebor mod
Craft Lightning Damage on the newly opened prefix
Level all mods to 5
Use runes of havok and pray to god you hit T7 intelligence and T6 lightning

Ultimately the T6 isn't nearly as important, a ring with just T7 intelligence is fine.

If you're got balls of steel... corrupt it after you manage to do all that

If you want to save yourself a lot of heartache:

Drop ring with T7 intelligence
Use rune of removal to remove other prefix if it has one
Craft Ferebor onto second prefix slot
Level ferebor up to 5.

Ferebor has Int on it, so it's not a bad second prefix for rings, and Havok runes are pretty rare.

[dark copper]

Understood thanks for the tips

[full bluff]

There was an update to volcanic orb in the patch

[unborn hamlet]

Or alternative to the alternative, you can try and corrupt the set item itself, most of the times it reforges into something random, then you just keep doing that until you land a t7 int

Tho that's more for if you have abundant runes

[oblique fossil]

@unborn hamlet that's what I did wasn't t7 intel but t6 until I got better ring. But corrupting faster that running a map just to break it down since can break the corrupted item down.

[carmine abyss]

tried the shadow cascade... x100 stronger than Lb tbh

but no fun and laggy af lol

also feel like after playing rogue this season, I feel a bit bored of everything

with 1lp literally can clear everything.. including soloing veil of omens or anything related to omens.. and iirc I tried to skip this thing when I play lb. coz lb cant solo this sht

gonna take a rest for now

[kindred oxide]

Yeah true S-tier builds usually not that fun. I try to avoid those.

There are prob hundreds of Rogues out there each with dozens of Uber kills but no idea how to fight Uber.

[carmine abyss]

I was having a blast until tried rogue this season.. I really wish I could have enjoyed SS/LB mage build more but it only lasted 1 week or so.

I mean obviously omen stuff is not that fun specially when playing other builds except rogue which is the only class that can easily do even without dodging DoT or whatever.. so ye

[kindred oxide]

Season is winding down for me too haha. I got a lich pretty high, smashes uber. But I think I enjoyed spellblade way more so it fizzled out quick.

[carmine abyss]

welp I made two max lvl chars.. and tried 3 builds in total. the game is fine but I would have expected more.

[kindred oxide]

And also, I love this corruption system but I also think it breaks the natural progression of gear in this game.

Like. If you have an LP2 with a great Corruption. An LP3 is likely going to be worse than the LP2, despite being much much more rare.

It's a tiny percent chance to improve over your LP2. This makes LP3 less exciting, it makes 7+7 less exciting too.

So i think corruption kinda had an adverse effect on late endgame, aspirational gear hunting.

Kills eliminates the desire to try to improve my LP2 with an LP3. Or LP1 with an LP2.

Shortens the longevity of the season for players who like to take their char that far.

[carmine abyss]

this! and I dont have enough exaults to craft 3lp gears which I got a lot and staying in stash forever lol

also, I got 4 or 5 red rings and no single build I played using red rings sadge.. like whats the point of getting the rarest gear and there is no use for it?

[unborn hamlet]

Pretty much my unstable core

Literally a GG item, even if I magically dropped a 4LP one

Same with my Orian belt and foot of the mountain too, 2LP +godlike corrupt

Can't seem to get a good entwined ring or RR for shit tho, so I guess some balance is there

[kindred oxide]

I missed my slam LP2 Yulia's Path. then corrupted it and got cleanse ailments on evade. those are my bis boots now. no need to search further.

lol

[unborn hamlet]

Literally corrupted 70+ 1LP entwineds by now and not a single one was anything good/bricked

[kindred oxide]

it is hard to get a good corrupt on ring. the corrupt affix pool is ass, and the regular affix pool is too varied.

[unborn hamlet]

Tbh, I had more luck with reforging ferebor rings

[kindred oxide]

i say this as i bricked two LP1 red rings haha

[unborn hamlet]

Look at this

[dull dirge]

well this is never getting replaced lol

[kindred oxide]

hahah that is sweet

[unborn hamlet]

.

I hit a couple of quad t7's +T6

Just nothing I could use

My helmet is also random set corrupted and it's pretty much GG

[kindred oxide]

the issue is that the corrupted affix can too easily surpass a T5 affix.

[unborn hamlet]

T7 LB, sealed T4 int, corrupted extra int, T6 vilatra, T6 void res

And it's on the best base

Like if the Jesus roll was not enough lmao

[kindred oxide]

Titan Heart LP3 is 30x the rarity of LP2.

If you gave one person a Titan heart LP3, and one person 30 Titan Heart LP2s.

the person with the LP2s will have the better chest 95% of the time

[unborn hamlet]

I mean, it's W/e

1 in 1.1k drop is not bad

Considering other stuff

[kindred oxide]

the point is that the LP3 is no longer cool because its so much harder for it to surpass a well-corrupted LP2

[unborn hamlet]

4LP enigma is 1 in almost 9k and I dropped 3 of em

[kindred oxide]

so like, if I got an LP3, i'd prob just sell it (MG)

[unborn hamlet]

They wanted this,

This season literally removed all of endgame

Just 1LP + corrupt spam

[kindred oxide]

yeah it was prob intended design lol, but it does have a negative side effect too.

aspirational gear is not as aspirational

[unborn hamlet]

Nah, they wanted to cater to casuals, which is fine, but why did they delete imprints and punish minmaxers? Literally 0 reason to do this shit

[kindred oxide]

obtaining the god item in an ARPG is an unforgettable feeling. it kinda gets watered down this way tbh. slamming an LP3 aint what it used to be.

[unborn hamlet]

It's always the casuals complaining about minmaxers for no reason, just cos we have more shiny gear than them

[kindred oxide]

I dont know if they intended for the nerf to be so heavy handed

[unborn hamlet]

Yea maybe if you spent 1k hours grinding the same character you would have the gear too

[kindred oxide]

but I also don't think they intneded for imprints to be red ring factories either.

[unborn hamlet]

Imprints should have been CoF mechanic from the start

[unborn hamlet]

Disgusting

[kindred oxide]

sure, i can try to get an LP3 of this and get the same corrupt. or get an 7+7... and get the same corrupt

but those are prohibitively rare

25% to brick, prob 65% chance to be worse than what I already have.

less. I could miss the LP

[unborn hamlet]

Yea, there is just no way I'm ever beating my core

BiS 2T7 slam good rolls and +14 all attributes corruption

Like I did not believe my eyes when I hit that

[kindred oxide]

that is insane. the excalibur

LMAO

[unborn hamlet]

Yea, like, I was actually shaking when I hit that

[kindred oxide]

grats lol. you beat the game with that one

[unborn hamlet]

My helmet is GG, my core is GG, my boots and belt are GG,

[kindred oxide]

OK so.

[unborn hamlet]

And the rest of the upgrades I can get are very RNG so yeah

[kindred oxide]

i got this exact corrupt on a 7+7 that i missed.

this was a 7+7 exalted base

had i hit this 33%, it would have been the equivalent of your chest haha

250 crit multi on a single item

[left hill]

LP2 isn't too hard to come by, but hitting a good corrupt on LP2 ya, maybe that LP1 is good enough lol

[dull dirge]

its been a pain for me to get lp2 of that specific relic

[left hill]

I have it in top-right and bottom-left imprints and have been doing relic prophecies and have I think 5 LP2s of it now

[dull dirge]

i should do that, i never get the exalted armor imprints ever lol

[left hill]

ya, imprints are super bad for exalteds after this patch

[dull dirge]

I swear, when I put in +4 shatter strikes in the imprint areas, that specific affix completely stopped dropping as a t7 except for maybe twice, and I’ve dumped a lot of hours into my Spellblade now

[umbral perch]

Oof. The recommendation I saw was always to imprint t1 of the affix you want, with t7 suffixes, because it rerolls T7 affixes a gigantic amount of the time and t1 affixes rarely, and then you get drops that you can Havoc into something usable, but maybe that's just when targeting 2LP slams

Sucks if they just stop dropping entirely due to bad RNG though

[zinc pewter]

So flame reave spellblade is better than frostbite sorcerer for clearing?

[full bluff]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwYCmSyG0G0 fire aura works on runemaster, but feel so squishy going up close all the time 🙂

[full bluff]

what do you mean with frostbite sorc?

[zinc pewter]

Something like this https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/frostbite-frost-claw-sorcerer-guide

[full bluff]

Flame reave is better for clear, would use meteor for clear on a sorcerer

[zinc pewter]

Flame reave seems more easy to build on cof though

[spring crag]

hmm

now I changed my mind

good flame reave build can kill uberroth as fast as shattering strike

because flame reave has higher chance to stun lock

which might allow us to bypass some phase transitions

[noble reef]

By just watching the skilltree i can see that lighting shatterstrike has huge dmg potential

Why is not popular?

[spring crag]

because it does not have as much dmg as cold?

let's say throne of ambition alone

lightning cannot receive benefit from it

the node "stormfused" is equivalent to the bonus from throne of ambition

but cold version also has "lingering chill"

[noble reef]

Mmm you get frozen bonus on tree for free basically

[proven haven]

this is pretty cool, how is single target?

[full bluff]

Getting up to 9M ticks on boss dummy. With the gear I put together on legacy for the test. Could probably go double that with some work on it.

[proven haven]

I guess they updated the AoE visuals

didn't realize how small it is even with as much AoE as you have

[noble reef]

Why runemaster over spellblade?

[full bluff]

For this to work you need glyph of dominion

[patent wind]

kinda confused with the flame drinker passive for my flame reaver, my mana still depletes pretty fast

is that normal?

[zinc pewter]

u can use mana strike if u cant sustain

[dawn widget]

What

Is the number broken or smth what do you mean freeze rate multiplier by 1.25k

[patent wind]

I know but like I don’t wanna use mana strike

I wanna be able to spam flame reave comfortably without the worry of mana strike

[zinc pewter]

flame reave 1lp itens is any good to star with?

[dawn widget]

you can try for the belt first

all you need is the brewery echo

or sunwreath if you are going for that

[verbal saffron]

i need one xD

[zinc pewter]

yeah. i got two 3 LP sunwreath already

buckle belt i put what? health and hybrid health?

[dawn widget]

cooldown reduction and health

[kindred oxide]

You want at least 67% cdr. So belt and boots prio on cdr first

Amulet gives up to 10

[kindred oxide]

Flame drinker just makes each aura worth 3 mana. If it didn't do that it would deplete faster.

If you don't want to use Mana strike, you have to get more sources of fire aura

Idols that have fire aura on crit

Even get the passive node that gives you aura for moving.

[unborn hamlet]

2 hander

scepters/wands got 700% on t7 i believe

kinda useless especially in fire dmg based build 😂

[zinc pewter]

really? lizard irl put nearly 0 on his maxroll planer

nice to get this tip

[kindred oxide]

Not sure why. If you don't get your enchant Weapon cooldown to 9s, it wont have full uptime

I don't agree with some of his choices. Why get fireball for the shred but not take the extra hit nodes?

[zinc pewter]

i see that u are using firebrand? is this a endgame setup?

[kindred oxide]

Yeah I switched from using Mana strike to getting Mana from Fire aura, so I can use firebrand.

On maps, I don't have to bother with it. Just brain off one button kill.

[zinc pewter]

because of the idols? fire aura on crit?

[kindred oxide]

On uber, it boosts my dps a lot. Can kill him in under a min now.

[dawn widget]

Huh do u have that build available to see?

[kindred oxide]

Idols is one source. Passive tree, enchant weapon tree, flame ward, etc.

[dawn widget]

I want to know what im doinh wrong... cant seem to kill uber ngl

I got really close a few times but i cant get that last phase

[kindred oxide]

I switched off siphon of anguish when I got Immortal Vise.

Oceareon or Red Ring

[dawn widget]

I dont have a red ring nor an LP1 shattered worlds.

Ocearon needs to be lp2?

[kindred oxide]

Yah that's fine I didn't have that when I first killed

LP1 is fine.

[dawn widget]

into dex right

[kindred oxide]

Or a really good one from

Omens Veil lol

Oceareon represents more dps tho

[dawn widget]

Dont think my luck is that good though haha

I can give it a try

my int drops a bit though is that okay

[kindred oxide]

Yah I think siphon is fine tho. Esp. LP3.

The fight is honest and challenging tho. Cuz like you have to control his movement.

[dawn widget]

I find the issue more of the puddles being too frequent and hard to dodge

[kindred oxide]

I killed it for first time with really similar set up as yours. You might actually just be using my old build haha. It's good

Biggest advantage tho was

Boots with Cleanse ailments

[dawn widget]

aye that really saved my potion uses alot

[kindred oxide]

I think Army of Skin is better than Suloron step

I think. I made that realization later.

Gives you more Armor too cuz you can replace the phys res blessing

[dawn widget]

tbh army of skins makes the 1st part easier while providing quite alot of melee speed

[dawn widget]

not the crit multiplier?

[kindred oxide]

Uber also restores to 20% in final phase, so it's relevant there for a bit.

[dawn widget]

You are getting quite a lot from the gloves alr esp the strength after all

[kindred oxide]

Aren't those diff blessing? I'll have to check

[dawn widget]

oh wait you are right

it was void I messed up

though i am curious about something

why dont people use shattered worlds?

[kindred oxide]

% Armor also gives ward retention FWIW. But anyway, army of skin has 75% more phys res than Suloron step haha and prob gives more damage overall.

[kindred oxide]

Don't have access to it yet.

[dawn widget]

Wait no I mean shattered Chains

Because of the cleanse of stun and freeze from pots and the Melee damage

plus armor making it quite tanky no, while giving you dps

[kindred oxide]

Oh. I think easy endurance is better?

But I think it's viable if you can cap endurance but belt is easy way.

And the potion effect on brew master is pretty strong.

[dawn widget]

i see

[kindred oxide]

The stacking endurance threshold has saved me sometimes. But you're right it's a meh belt. It's just convenient and nothing else is much better.

20% endurance caps you Immediately that's important

I have 18 and a 2% idol

[zinc pewter]

is it a big difference from t6 flame reave to t7 flame reave? on chest

T6 flame reave + t7 inteliigenc

[dawn widget]

@zinc pewter skill nodes more impt then int

[zinc pewter]

pretty good itens at sale on MG.

[kindred oxide]

In the case of flame reave, the skill points are super important. That tree is very deep and full of damage.

Oops

[dawn widget]

flame reave gets a lot of multipliers from the nodes

[kindred oxide]

Losing one point is like losing maybe 7% damage which is more than 8 points of int

Yah it's packed with multipliers

[dawn widget]

huh wait why is firebrand in ur skill list?

does it actually replace mana strike for mana gen>

[kindred oxide]

nope

[dawn widget]

huh interesting its more of a support skill for buffing

[kindred oxide]

i just tried it yesterday. i had a similar set up as yours. i think youre using an old build i shared haha. its like almost exact

[dawn widget]

should I

be

I did ask you before for some flamereave help after all haha you shared your build then

assuiming not much changed then

[kindred oxide]

I had a Mana strike set up first.

LizardIRL put out the build with no Mana Strike. cuz nobody likes that ability. Using fire aura to sustain mana.

Noobzor put out his super fast clear vid with firebrand. i liked that idea

so i kinda adapted both of their builds. Lizard's mana sustain, so I can get rid of mana strike, and use firebrand for damage.

I started with Surge as well, but just replaced it with fireball for even more damage.

[kindred oxide]

idk up to you. it takes a tiny bit more finesse to use firebrand.

it's like. you shoot 5 times to build 9 stacks, and then you shoot it once in a while to maintain it

and while it is up, you do more damage per stack

[unborn hamlet]

remember, the maxroll guides are not the holy gospel, and a lot of the times, with just a bit of a tweak u can make them a lot stronger by yourself

[elfin rapids]

What's the idea for Fireball? Applying shred fire resist?

[dawn widget]

Yeah then you can replace the shred fire resistance blessing with fire damage too while applyimg shred and do damage with the fireballs

[kindred oxide]

when he's in his phases changes where he is talking smack, he takes reduces damage. i just spam firebrand at him for a few hits, for a bit of fire aura mana

[dawn widget]

They auto home so its no aim anyways

[kindred oxide]

yeah, it hits 3x per 2 sec. plus one extra hit from the node in the bottom right. so 4x per 2 sec = 8x per 2 sec. each applies one fire shred and 3 armor shred

[dawn widget]

Huh i see... that way firebrand can be helpful in the fight

[kindred oxide]

kinda unexciting but its a damage boost. i just value that over getting like 300 ward from my teleport/surge

[dawn widget]

I can give it a shot but im just worried about the mana

Also is the throne of ambition's damage ramp too slow and easy to break thats why you took it out?

[kindred oxide]

if mana is ever an issue, you can take more fire aura nodes. its not that bad

[kindred oxide]

no i took it out cuz i was mapping haha. if doing uber, ill always put it back

[dawn widget]

Hahah make sense

Welp imma give it another go

I spent 3 hours learning that boss mechanics time to try again

[kindred oxide]

i was toying with this last night. but adding 6 points here gives you a bit more passive mana, and if the shred procs, it fills the extra 2 shred that fireball doesnt do.

you need the fire aura sources from flame ward, enchant weapon and idols, 5/5 Burning Hands.

[dawn widget]

damn must have been expensive

[zinc pewter]

400k. used creation. so 200k each

[dawn widget]

ill give it a try and see how it goes

[kindred oxide]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vymf-EmDLkY
with firebrand

good luck!

[zinc pewter]

@kindred oxide what item could i replace anguish if im using immortal wise on gloves? and sunwreath on other ring . ( except red ring)

ocearon?

[kindred oxide]

oceareon is a good choice yah

i dont know how good oculus of ruin would have to be to be better than LP1 oceareon

haha

[unborn hamlet]

"easily stronger" but impossible to make basically

Full gambling on oculus

I had a couple that just needed that 1 more stat to be amazing but couldn't do it

[kindred oxide]

i have one that has

int str dex att

i dont know if it's good but it's interesting.

😂

[unborn hamlet]

Im rolling them if I got extra runes after gambling on set items but basically I'm only looking for t7 int +t7 added int with t7 spell/light DMG and anything else is a bonus, but nothing less than these 4 together make it better than my set ring

I don't know how many total stats I got rn, don't think I could squeeze another +1 skill out of oculus stat stack to cover the missing point from the set ring

Cos I gotta count swapping my ring is -27

[kindred oxide]

yeah i have no idea if oculus ring is actually a viable upgrade path LOL

seems way too random

[unborn hamlet]

possible, but yea,

more likely to hit some insane set item corrupt like my helmet

[agile sparrow]

IDK what your full build is but I found using fireballl for shred and getting the armor blessing from spirits of fire was less dps, less shred, and less armor than replacing fireball with firebrand and just keeping 9 stacks up where its needed and using the fire shred blessing

[kindred oxide]

What about fire damage blessing?

[agile sparrow]

its just increased

[kindred oxide]

Instead of armor

It's still damage. It's underwhelming I agree but so is 320 Armor haha.

[agile sparrow]

idk if 100% increased damage is better than 3 stacks of fire shred or not

that seems close

[kindred oxide]

And you can swap. But you're right fireball is so underwhelming.

[agile sparrow]

but it would let you unspec fireball

[kindred oxide]

Well I was thinking about it and.

[agile sparrow]

also I tried those 6 poitns you menteiond to have fire aura shred

and i attack too fast i dont get a single shred stack from that

[kindred oxide]

What do you mean

[agile sparrow]

because the arua needs to last a full second and I flame reave more often than tha

[kindred oxide]

Oh hahahha

Yeah I didn't test that at all. I used it for the mana.

I'm not surprised. 🙁

[agile sparrow]

i just barely have enough mana sustain in my dual wield setup but do have to kidn of stop and spam flamebrand for fire aura stacks sometimes against omens since they still invulnerable for so long

[kindred oxide]

So the mandatory skills are flame reave, flame ward, and enchant Weapon.

[agile sparrow]

Firebrand / Flame Ward / Flame Reave / Enchant Weapon / Surge

[agile sparrow]

personally I find surge to be kinda important too because I dont like that teleport stops mana regen for 1 second

[kindred oxide]

The other two slots can be:
-Firebrand (optimal damage)
-Mana Strike (easy Mana solution)
-Fireball (shred)
-Teleport (ward and armor)
-Surge (Ward, a bit of Mana)

For these I think it's preference.

That is what flame reave boils down to

[agile sparrow]

yeah

[kindred oxide]

Right now I am on firebrand and Fireball

[agile sparrow]

and just running no movement skill?

[kindred oxide]

Cuz it's best damage, but not necessarily best comfort.

[agile sparrow]

or an untalented one i guess

[kindred oxide]

Untalented teleport

[agile sparrow]

🤔

[kindred oxide]

Vs uber I teleport once. And that is when the first add dies.

I just Evade for the rest haha

I don't love it either. Surge is also just responsive and really fun

[agile sparrow]

every once in a while im tryign to get him off the edge and I need to surge through a tripple slam

but yeah mostly very little movement skill usage

its mostly for echos that i like surge so much

[kindred oxide]

Yeah surge is comfy. But sometimes teleport hops over gaps that surge wont

Even without points

[agile sparrow]

just not worth losing 1 second of mana regen for me

[kindred oxide]

Yeah that's annoying. Why teleport isn't instant cast is a mind boggler

They wanted us using surge I guess!

Have you considered surge firebrand?

[agile sparrow]

thats what im running

[kindred oxide]

As your two choices

[agile sparrow]

and i just use the blessing for shred

dropped fiireball and took the blessing because fireball felt so underwhelming

[kindred oxide]

Ohhh okay. Yeah that's good.

Fireball and untalented teleport
Vs
Surge

Good choice yah

[agile sparrow]

also idk why but i cant make that staff do any dps

[kindred oxide]

I might just do the same. Surge was the reason I wanted to play spellblade in the first place.

Jasper staff?

[agile sparrow]

yeah that one

[kindred oxide]

It's amazing

It's just naturally got so much damage in it. And it ramps

And let's you use Titan Heart. Dual wield like noobzor is prob more damage tho.

[agile sparrow]

idk what his build is

i linked mine a second ago is it similar to that?

maybe my attackspeed is to low to use the staff...

[kindred oxide]

I dunno staff was one of my first pick ups for the build.

[kindred oxide]

He used fangs of the berserker. Would go well with your rampancy neck

[agile sparrow]

thats what i use with the staff

absolutely F***s my resistances though

I know this isn't a great comparison but I cant get my tooltip dps above like 15mil with staff and I get it to like 26mil dual wielding

in combat

[kindred oxide]

4 points in flame reave is a lot too

[agile sparrow]

ehh

4 points vs 10% less damage taken

and 20% all res

oh wait you mean from the weapon not the ring

but uhh its only 3 points

wait actually I also use wings instead of titan heart so tis only 1 point

[kindred oxide]

oh right gavel gives one.

ahh icic

[agile sparrow]

well not gunna run out of mana with that

[harsh abyss]

Interesting. With a staff with that corrupted affix and the sorc passive, you get 12% regen per 100 mana, which is a little less than 1 flat regen.

Or might be real good with a mana stacking butchers crown

[agile sparrow]

well its more of a spellbalde weapon than a sorc weapon

[harsh abyss]

Yeah, not on that staff specifically

[agile sparrow]

ohh

yeah that would be a really good sorc corruption in general

[harsh abyss]

Probably not better than 38 flat spell damage though

[agile sparrow]

range incase you are curious

so thats basically as high as it gets value wise

[harsh abyss]

Yeah, I think you can get 1 or 2% per 100 on idol corruptions though

So you migjt be able to stack it up

[agile sparrow]

i do think that in general planning a build around a weapon corruption you dont have is a tad bit of copium

[harsh abyss]

Lol yeah

[agile sparrow]

Actually.... what about just not using circle mode flame reave for bosses

oh wait nvm i need the increased mana cost to scale brutality....

[dull salmon]

So I'm trying something unusual and having a good time with it. I'm stacking fire resistance to the moon to scale both ignite chance and penetration with elemental nova. Fire aura and black hole also supplement damage.

Hoping for maybe some suggestions on how to take this concept further/shore it up a bit. It's running 300c mostly smoothly but needs a little defensive help. Thoughts?

@agile sparrow yeah i removed fireball, and the damage difference is negligible i think i'll decide between surge and tele lol

fireball is boring too

(as a proc)

(no offense to fireball mains)

[agile sparrow]

If fireball speced for damage didn't cost so much mana it might be interesting

[kindred oxide]

we were talking bout this the other day

[agile sparrow]

As a DPS addon I mean. The utility addon is so underwhelming

[kindred oxide]

how proccing spells as spellblade is not worth it. basically does nothing lol

the good spellblade builds are good because of the sheer damage from flame reave / shatter strike

not because of any procs

its too hard to get anything out of fireball, lightning blast, frost claw

[agile sparrow]

I know my build gets most of its damage from brutality which does nothing for spells too

Also do any of the spells scale with dex?

Or is half of the increase from attributes also gone

[kindred oxide]

taking fireball trades 2 stacks of shred (because you can only get up to 8) for 100% increased fire damage

2 stacks of shred removes 4% fire res from bosses

[agile sparrow]

Also teleport buffs too

[kindred oxide]

yeah or surge

i was testing also

surge vs evade. for how much it interrupts your dps

also accounting from the cast of flame reave that surge gives

and you def lose more time with evade

[agile sparrow]

Interesting

[kindred oxide]

surge's DPS isnt 0 either

so maybe surge + firebrand is the play

can try it yourself. just hold down flame reave and evade. then do the same thing with surge. you'll notice the diff

tldr: surge is a damage loss vs just flame reaving. but damage gain over evade if you have to move.

[agile sparrow]

That sounds correct

It also generated like 30 mana on cast

[kindred oxide]

costs 25

[agile sparrow]

Does it?

[kindred oxide]

• the flame reave but thats something you want to cast anyway so im not gonna count that hah

yeah, so it's basically free.

well, only if you get 8+ stacks every time

[agile sparrow]

Okay so it generated 5 mana 🤣

That is less useful

[kindred oxide]

teleport cost + 1s of mana regen

[agile sparrow]

there is also flamerush for fire res shred

but that seems kidna cursed

in comparison

[carmine abyss]

can someone tell how much shattered world is better than twisted heart for Lb?

[agile sparrow]

the implicit probably

hard to argue with 10% less dmage taken

[carmine abyss]

I get around 9k wards from twisted heart. but a lot less from shattered worlds.

[agile sparrow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[carmine abyss]

does it mean I prob gonna be more squishy with shattered world?

[agile sparrow]

if you arn't already low life from some other source twisted heart might be better

[carmine abyss]

hmmm okay!

[agile sparrow]

really hard to say why x > y if we dont see the whole build

[sour basalt]

Anyone notice any big shifts in hydrahedron this season?

[tall canopy]

Some Lightning Blast Qs:
Does changing its element change Spark Nova or Lightning Aegis at all?
Can it ever chain if it's never directly cast?

[patent wind]

legend

[harsh abyss]

Spark nova yes, lightning aegis no.

Yes it can chain with the Chain Lightning node, but not with the inherent chains or the arcing power node. The dual/quad cast wont work either.

[tall canopy]

Huh, so Chain Lightning just makes it always chain +1/rank time?

[harsh abyss]

Yep

[untold stirrup]

is Lament of the Lost Refuge worth building around? Im already using volcanic orb a bunch but thats just because my leveling items are all fire based. Really not sure what Im doing with mage yet (very early monoliths).

[tall canopy]

Great, thanks! I never would have read it like that

[left hill]

does Static Orb's Overcharged (max mana % -> mana cost) apply before Increased Mana Cost from Gate Staff or after?

[harsh abyss]

After, the final cost

[left hill]

cool, thanks

[umbral perch]

I think you need to pair it with the body armor that is similarly themed, but I think it is viable at the moment. Dread did a video recently and I think his review was favorable, though his standards are sometimes a little different than people expect.

[carmine abyss]

so I just oneshot uberroth with rogue and I remember first time killing uberroth with LB. it took me 3 hours lmao.

welp more like kept dying for 3 hours with LB 😆

[left hill]

thaaaat makes sense. I was trying to imagine how sweaty the gameplay would have to be to have a 3-hour fight just ever so slowly chipping away at hp lol

[untold stirrup]

Do you recall which body armor and/where it drops?

[carmine abyss]

ikr? but it was fun to learn all the mechanics. welp now it only takes 3 secs to oneshot him ofc with rogue not Lb which is a bit sad though coz I like Lb a lot more.

[umbral perch]

Black Sun timeline IIRC

[untold stirrup]

ah, found it thanks

[dawn widget]

omg i did it

@kindred oxide I gave up all movement skills to just specc into damage to finally take him down

jesus christ

[sour basalt]

Right, that thing doesn't have teleport. Now I know what bothers me about the build 😄

[dawn widget]

it sure as hell wasnt fun but honestly i rather the extra damage then losing out dps at the end

frankly speaking about 65% of my deaths were just plain dps issue so i figured might as well just up the dps and just make sure dodging can cover for it

[kindred oxide]

yooooo grats LETS GO

[dawn widget]

Thanks bro for the build help seriously

[graceful matrix]

Can Mana Strike actually be useful for mana generation when the player already has the node to regen mana when a spell is apassively cast?

[left hill]

i find it nice to use Mana Strike with the cooldown node if I need a top-up on my spellblade. single tap becomes like 180+ mana which is plenty in most cases

[proper hawk]

Mana Strike can generate vastly more mana, but it requires specializing the skill, and not using a damage skill to hit enemies with it. The node only costs some passive points, but doesn't generate even remotely as much, and makes direct casting spells problematic. It's fully passive though, and it's actually quite a good amount of mana regen for what it does.
Basically, the use cases are very different. Mana strike is good for when you need to pay exorbitant mana costs as often as possible, the node is better for shoring up your mana when it just needs a bit of a nudge to stay stable

[left hill]

also Blade Conduit doesn't work with the ice spikes node in Shatter Strike (have F8'd this), so in my case BC isn't as helpful as advertised

[woven lark]

Shattered worlds is just DPS SC meme. You lose almost all sustain/tankiness. Never use it except if you want to ignore all survivability for extra damage, which you likely won't need on LB

[proper hawk]

eh, theres so many easy procs to pick up in spellblade at this point you can probably stack it accidentally with random stuff. Even just a few points in the fire aura node for res shred basically stacks it past halfway

[left hill]

I was just saying in my case

[proper hawk]

id be surprised if you couldnt stack with other procs on the build even if the ice spikes dont work is all im saying

[left hill]

not here to debate

[proper hawk]

fair enough

also shatter strike tends to be far too mana hungry for just mana regen to deal with anyways

[left hill]

yes, that's why I said I use mana strike...

[zenith wraith]

guys i'm using flame reave with half damage converted to lightning and battlemages endeavor, making flame reave proc lightning blasts and lightning frost claws. any suggestion for my mana? i dont want to use mana strike as a filler

[proper hawk]

yeah I'm agreeing with you?

[zenith wraith]

playing spellblade

[proper hawk]

depends on how negative your mana recovery is. If you only need a little bit to sustain, blade conduit is 120% inc mana regen

[left hill]

never underestimate Foot of the Mountain, at least for bossing

[kindred oxide]

yeah no prob! way more satisfying than a cheese rogue kill right?

that fight is super fun. awesome job

[dawn widget]

It sure brought a lot of tensed moment i'd say. I panicked when i realized i let down too much puddles. Seriously was scary...

[desert steppe]

time for second kill :whip

[zenith wraith]

i tried but couldt get much mana

i tried the bluefeather ring too

[zenith wraith]

reave is 6 mana, frost claw is 18 and lightning blast is 15

[left hill]

could get frost claw mana efficiency idols.

that and foot cutting 2-6 mana off everything (before % increases on frost claw too) could really help you probably. plus Blade Conduit ofc since you're getting all those indirects

assuming you're really set on not just occasionally tapping mana strike

[unborn hamlet]

Frostclaw can sustain itself with blue feather ring, good FC idols and -5 sceptre/wand

Can't see it happening with a sword

FC with all the good dps recast nodes costs like what, 50 mana? Lmao

[left hill]

ya, like 53 assuming you take the -3 cost node and aren't direct casting (so no gift of winter)

although actually

if proc'ing the recasts are irrelevant

so way less

26 i think

without taking the efficiency node, which is huge for sustain and easily have the points without recasts

[unborn hamlet]

the skill is fun and looks good on paper

but yeah, ur not gonnna be doing meta levels of damage with it

and i took it to a ´´high´´ level of corruption too

[zenith wraith]

thanks for the tips! i'll try to get those idols and try foot of mountain again

[proper hawk]

did you spec LB for convergence? if so, you can cut a point from chain lightning to bring the mana cost down to 12, since convergence rounds up

[zenith wraith]

i am, thanks for the tip!

[sour basalt]

Man every time I get excited about planning up a FC starts it ends up like that. Running out of math.

Fire Claw sorc was my first ever char.

And it was miserable.

[zenith wraith]

my build wont get far but i'm finding it fun to play

[full bluff]

Sign to play fireball with meteor?

[autumn skiff]

On the belt "Harbinger of Stars"
(6% to 9%) Chance to Cast Meteor on Crit if above 0 Mana
This consumes Meteor's Mana Cost. Does not include crits from Meteor itself.
Is this able to summon a meteor if a directly cast meteor crits?

[full bluff]

Yes, it is bugged, so it works with crits from meteor

[autumn skiff]

Oh nice

Thanks

[unborn hamlet]

i really wish i could make use of that belt somehow

but unspecced meteor does nothing

[tawdry halo]

anyone know if the more damage bonus in the black hole tree affect the meteor cast by the "armageddon" node ?

[cosmic dove]

I think only subskills (ones that you cant put on your skill bar) and ailments inherit the more damage bonuses

[tawdry halo]

seems like it

damage is roughly the same between meteor i cast and the one casted by black hole

[cosmic dove]

Armageddon is pretty much a trap. The damage is not worth the mana cost

[tawdry halo]

with and without the node that give +100% more damage

[elfin rapids]

I think one of the few exception for this rule is mana stacking Flay from Lich that can boost the damage of indirect cast skills such as Chaos Bolt, Marrow Shard and Rip Blood.

[tawdry halo]

i'm playing a Cast on crit meteor and i'm generating so much mana that node in black hole is not a problem

just more meteor

[cosmic dove]

what's you mana gen tech?

[tawdry halo]

bluefeather band and 0 cost fireball

with a -5 mana cost wand

[cosmic dove]

are you using shrapnel on meteor? or heat flux/FC?

(for more crits)

[tawdry halo]

and there's a buff in meteor tree that give mana when casting fireball and on the helmet too

shrapnel

i do want to experiment with FC too

[half pollen]

When you go 3 FC and spec into it for more hits you will 100% go oom

Which isnt a bad thing though

[tawdry halo]

is it possible to have a 0 cost FC ?

[cosmic dove]

yeah I think you have to spec FC for max mana efficiency / cost
it would still be more crits

[tawdry halo]

and with a lot of hit

[cosmic dove]

you cant get to zero for non-direct cast FC
but it can be very low

cant make it hit more though (can take maybe one of the double hit nodes)

[tawdry halo]

mana efficiency is applied after the flat cost reduction right ?

[half pollen]

Yeah

Its always flat first

Which is nice for low mana cost things and horrible for high mana cost things

[tawdry halo]

okok

without a 0 cost skill a lot of the mana gain tech doesnt work

i'll see what i can do later

the heat flux node says it cast FC at 120% mana cost, its the final mana cost right ?

[elfin rapids]

Pretty sure you can. Convert FC to Fire, then use Firestarter Torch (-4 fire spell mana cost) with -5 spell mana cost slammed. That's -9 already. Then on FC own tree you can get up to another -9 for a total of -18 mana cost.

[half pollen]

6 of the 9 on the tree is for direct casts

[elfin rapids]

Only the 36% chance to generate mana on cast is for direct casts, the -6 mana is always active.

[cosmic dove]

Didnt think about a -9 weapon but yeah you cant get -6 of the tree reduction on indirect casts

[half pollen]

Oh thats bugged then? Or is only the tooltip wrong?

[elfin rapids]

And even if it was only on direct cast, you can still use Foot of the Mountain for another -6 (but you have to stay still).

[dull dirge]

probably the best item i ever got in this game lol

[elfin rapids]

Tooltip not worded correctly.

[unborn hamlet]

yea. so u go back to the problem

that FC specced for DMG

is only direct cast

and costs 56 mana on no reduction

so even if u get -9-6 its still not sustainable without further reductions

doesnt matter what type of dmg its specced into

[cosmic dove]

I think for CoC meteor the idea is FC crits not that FC does damage

[unborn hamlet]

the way the guy asked about it he wanted extra dmg from it

as for the meteor he wanted to chain it

[cosmic dove]

oh I assumed it was for crits

[unborn hamlet]

meteor casts FC, the FC crits, and therefore with the belt casts another meteor

the issue is the mana sustain, not how it works as a whole

[elfin rapids]

The belt tech is not really good for the Meteor cast FC tech.

[unborn hamlet]

and thats what we explained

people tried this all the way in beta

blue feather ring improves this idea by a lot but its simply just not good

[tall canopy]

Any tips on mana sustain with a build using Frost Claw to trigger Ice Barrage+Lightning Blast?

[spring crag]

hi guy

lightning blast dmg has been nerfed compared to s3 right?

[marsh furnace]

guys, Im seeing people preferring t7 cooldown reduction on flay boots or suloron over move speed, health etc, is this for quicker flame warding or am i missing something?

@kindred oxide it was your planner I was looking at

[kindred oxide]

67% total CDR required to maintain 100% enchant weapon uptime

to get below 9s cooldown to match 9s duration

[spring crag]

nice

[kindred oxide]

it's not the end of the world if your cooldown is 10s and you have 90% uptime

[spring crag]

lightning shattering strike go brr?

[marsh furnace]

nice, I've not been using it at all atm following the maxroll planner, gonna have to look for differences

[marsh furnace]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/BgRr3JY5
currently working on a better weapon before attempting uberroth
going by yours, I need to invest a lot more in cdr and better idols and remove a lot of the tankiness i put i guess

What you have right now is pretty good!

one thing we were talking about earlier yesterday was the variations between the Flame Reave builds

[unborn hamlet]

by half, but honestly it doesnt matter

[tall canopy]

Does LB actually have to attempt to chain for the Additional Maximum Chains bonus on this node to work? Testing it with a single cast with and without 1 point in Arcing Power and I'm not seeing a difference

[unborn hamlet]

bro using cold lb hurts my soul 😭

[tall canopy]

Is it Uncomfy?

[tall canopy]

Mana goes poof

[unborn hamlet]

because u have 0 sustain

sustaining FC is just not easy

very specific items are required

and if u get them , u sacrifice all ur LB dmg

[tall canopy]

I'm thinking about trying Butcher's Crown when high enough level, but idk

[unborn hamlet]

thats why i said using cold version just hurts my soul

want sceptre, -5 cost, and 3 large idols with FC efficiency, as well as blue feather ring to make FC self sustainable

therefore allowing it for ice barrage

but those items are very limiting

[kindred oxide]

Flame Reave skill spec variety can be summed up as:

Mandatory:

• Flame Reave
• Flame Ward
• Enchant Weapon

Choose two:

• Mana Strike: Easy access to mana, less strain on skill/passives/idols to get Fire Aura.
• Surge: Slightly better mana, damage, responsiveness.
• Teleport: It's friggin teleport. Also grants Armor.
• Fireball: Provides a bit more damage (+4-7% ish), one less button for you to press.
• Firebrand: Best damage (+35-45% ish), boss killer.

@marsh furnace

[tall canopy]

Can't use the dagger with a wand tho 😹

Hmm, blue feather ring. There's an idea

[kindred oxide]

I recommend Firebrand for Uber. but takes a bit more thought

[marsh furnace]

I'll give the firebrand version a look

[tall canopy]

Teleported from the Entry point in the Arena to the test dummies and didn't unlock the waypoint 😹

[kindred oxide]

Fireball is an underwhelming choice imo but I understand why MaxRoll uses that in their guide.

If the choice is ever between: Better damage vs Better defense vs Fewer buttons to press...

Max Roll will probably lean towards less buttons because that's what people want to play.

[unborn hamlet]

thats why i said ur sacrificing for the sustain

besides, cant u have dagger in the off hand?

sceptre is a one handed weapon

[tall canopy]

What, can I?

[unborn hamlet]

you also want cast speed for FC spam anyway

[sudden kettle]

Anyone that can help me make this build better? Currently at 364 corruption and feels a little squishy: https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/havoc1486/character/SameThingEveryGame

[tall canopy]

Looks like no. DW is Sword only, and I'm a Sorc anyways

[sudden kettle]

I mean it's not that squishy, because the leech fills my HP fast, but I'm constantly stunned

[unborn hamlet]

you can alternatively still do light dmg spec LB with enigma in your offhand

and use FC as the trigger with dragorath, but its still gonna be less dmg cos its RNG

instead of direct casting LB

you can get items to help u ignore required mana tho

like Orian belt with this corruption

i get 29 mana on potion use just from the belt alone

u can take it a step further and slam experimental mana on potion use too

for anoter +20

or more

+20 is tier 5

[tall canopy]

Hmm, maybe just drop the dagger altogether

[unborn hamlet]

i mean do u wanna play meta or something cool nobody else probably plays, thats the better question here

[tall canopy]

Triggering lots of LB all over the place is just fun is all

[unborn hamlet]

cos if u wanna play meta just do normal LB build

[tall canopy]

Nah, not interested in LB itself, that's just a supplement to FC/Barrage for me (for this build)

[unborn hamlet]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/Uncomfy_comfy/character/Comfy

can check my planner if u want

[unborn hamlet]

there is also FC build i played

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/frostbite-frost-claw-sorcerer-guide

[tall canopy]

Can I have your Shattered Worlds please 🥺

[unborn hamlet]

i tweaked it a bit for myself but this is along the lines u want if u wanna play FC Ice barrage

[unborn hamlet]

make the game give me +16int and crit multi on the 5th one ill slam with perma frenzy as a cherry on top and ill gift this to u np xD

i had 4 2LP ones and i missed the crit multi on all of em

[tall canopy]

Sure, let me just call up my buddies in EHG no problemo 👍

[unborn hamlet]

tell em a maxrolled 4LP SW in my inventory would solve world hunger

👍

along with perfect quad T7 relic to slam it

and guaranteed perfect corruption afterwards

[tall canopy]

Ooh we're triggering Nova too? Now you're speakin my language 🤔

[spring crag]

enough to make it has worse bossing dmg than shattering strike and flame reave unfortunately

[unborn hamlet]

yes

build was flashy as hell

and it was fine for 800corr too

just cant kill ubby with it

and chonkier bosses took a while

[tall canopy]

Can it run as direct damage instead of DOT?

[unborn hamlet]

it probably could but scaling the dot is easier

cos u get abundance of freezerate

after taking my freeze per chill stack into consideration i was sitting around 4000% freezerate

cold dmg and int stack basically

you will most likely want to have crit capped for direct FC casts tho so u will need a lot of crit chance on items

[tall canopy]

I was thinking using Mourningfrost and Guile stacking perhaps

Lots to think about tho. Thank you for your help!

[unborn hamlet]

take these into consideration too, but honestly if u gonna INT stack, cant go wrong with Foot of the mountain

and it will also help with mana sustain

[tall canopy]

How often is Foot of the mountain really active? I've been kind of ignoring them cause I figured they'd only be useful when I can turret, which is rarely

[unborn hamlet]

thats why i use orian belt, but free 12 int is free 12int

running around, i use potion spam to keep my mana up

fighting boss i dont need to dodge i stand still

or in omen windows

orian belt is also another free 20 int

u cant really ignore these items if u gonna revolve the build around int skills, its basically a staple

[tall canopy]

I see 🤔
Haven't done any stat stacking builds yet

Just been Homebrewing nonsense to 300c or so til now

[unborn hamlet]

guides are still just guides, a lot of them can easily be improved if u use ur own head and test stuff out

even the LB build on maxroll is very outdated in terms of what it can do

i tweaked my frostclaw build as well

can slam this into crest of unity that has +6 to nova for even more funny

super charged ele nova is quite big

like screenwide big

[tall canopy]

From when I was trying a nova-based build 👍

[unborn hamlet]

yea that should work

can go with unstable core for chest

[agile sparrow]

does the FC->Ele nova spark charge build still work?

[unborn hamlet]

i mean yes but its weak

[agile sparrow]

then what are you using for damage? just actually casting ele nova?

[unborn hamlet]

no this is not related to spark charge

he wants some fun build to do

meta spark charge based build is just spamming lightning blast or static orb

[agile sparrow]

i didn't even realize static orb was an option

i only knew about lightning blast

[unborn hamlet]

its for hardcore play

cos static orb is like, screenwide nuking, but its very slow clearing

[agile sparrow]

ahh i see

BTW has anyone cooked anything with those new volcanic orb rings? i tried to make it work but losing both ring slots just felt like way too much of a tax

[unborn hamlet]

because it is

[tall canopy]

Oh those are new? I've been wanting to experiment with them as well

[agile sparrow]

well they are new this season

[spring crag]

so is static orb's spark charge dmg affected by your mana?

[tall canopy]

Ah okay. This is my first season since dabbling with the game when it first launched

[unborn hamlet]

i dont know the answer to that because i never played it

the builds still int stacking so i assume thats more important than mana

[harsh abyss]

Because of the way spark charge functions, it doesnt inherit modifiers from the applying skill

[unborn hamlet]

ur still using spark charge as the main source of dmg which is stacking from INT, you just use static orb to trigger it

[agile sparrow]

spark charge isn't a subskill or an ailment? wtf is it

[unborn hamlet]

item skill

[agile sparrow]

ohh

its not in the static skill tree?

[unborn hamlet]

no

[spring crag]

wait then I would rather do so with lightning blast

[harsh abyss]

Spark charge applications apply an ailment that casts a subskill.

That functionality is why it doesnt inherit modifiers. They would apply to the ailment, which doesnt do damage.

[spring crag]

what's the benefit of static orb over lightning blast if you just want to proc spark charge?

[agile sparrow]

aoe

[unborn hamlet]

the near wide screen aoe,

as i mentioned, static orb version is for hardcore play

or in other words, leaderboard jorkin

[tall canopy]

I assume TP's +Buff Duration node does not affect the Haste after Traversal exp affix if TP is used to trigger it?

[agile sparrow]

that seems easy enough to test

my guess would be no though

teleport does say "stat buffs gratned by teleport" im not sure if haste is a stat buff, and I dont hink its granted by teleport

i thnk its granted by some item after you teleport

[tall canopy]

Ah I hadn't realized it mentioned just Stats. It's the latter part I was thinking of, and I agree. I'll test it once I get my hands on some

[strange needle]

I mean i wouldn't do static orb if I want my damage coming from spark charge , old frostclaw clear,static orb bossing is stronk

[tall canopy]

Are there any dummies that I can actually freeze? 😹

Been spamming stuff trying to get them to freeze. Turns out I was the dummy all along

[unborn hamlet]

easy way to test if something can be frozen is to snap freeze it

if snap freeze doesnt freeze the target the target is immune to being frozen

snap freeze doesnt need to be specced at all, just press the skill

[proven haven]

Well the black hole uber oneshot mission has been successfully completed bois

we did it

no offline / legacy needed 😉

[unborn hamlet]

pog now give me the planner so i can swap builds when i farm that little piece of shaite

[agile sparrow]

How usefull would this uber 1 shot build be for other things like echos? Is it kind of a meme one shot like that poison bomb druid was ins season 1? or is it actually a decent build

[strange needle]

I assume a lot less useful than the rogue variants those at least are great mappers

[sudden kettle]

Can someone help me clarify if fire aura has a shared proc rate across all the 3-4 different things it can proc from?

[full bluff]

Down to 13 seconds boss dummy kill with meteor now, with full glass cannon build
