@proven haven Watching your vid now, pretty cool tech. Seems that's next on my list for alts 😄
On the topic of uber-cheesers, I do find some utility in trying to build a char that can kill high-corruption orobysses really fast (or safely).

is there any hope for void volcanic orb to be better than cold volcanic orb?
yes, the void orb spellblade plays very well, best time I had ever with volcanic orb, due to the movement speed. Also fireaura void damage inc 50% per stack, at 25 stacks, that is a lot of void damage

I always get sad with these really cool items that give a lot of increased damage when we are usually forced to stack int already.
Even if you come up with a super clever strategy it only rewards you with essentially double damage instead of some big more multi
I also hate that its "when hit" and not "on hit"
Love that its providing real value and being used again though, how much effort is getting 25 stacks on SB with your VO?

@proven haven any reason you aren't using rime on glacier in your bhole build instead of arcane ascendance?
elfin rapids
<@181266504342306817> any reason you aren't using rime on glacier in your bhole ...
Pretty sure rime is 100% increased damage, not more damage. Arcane Ascendance has 24% more damage against slowed targets.
But i have a question related to this too: @proven haven, why do you turn on Arcane Ascendance after casting the 2 black holes? Isn't that more damage snapshotted so you have to cast AA before applying the ignites with those BH?
proven haven
But i have a question related to this too: <@181266504342306817>, why do you tur...
This was a whole rabbit hole I went down, tbh I forget all of the conclusions
I think I put notes on what snapshot vs not in the sheet
Basically though it has a cooldown and it roots so I need to be able to avoid laser
I think you would want to AA before the first combo and only disable it to avoid laser
But that was mechanically annoying to do and I oneshot without doing it so I didn't
Oh yes the ignite damage from the spell is based on the damage of the spell when it applied those stacks of ignite but the damage not tied to the spell can change and change the damage of your current ignites
Eg. If you have black hole deals 100% more damage for 1s, all ignites applied during that second are boost and stay boosted after.
But if you have you deal 100% more damage for 1s the current ignite and i think remaining ignite damage goes up during that 1s
nimble shoal

If you have a buff that gives 100% more damage for 1s, it should mean any black hole you cast in that 1 second deals 100% more damage, since its stats are decided at time of cast
proven haven

Are you sure?
This isnt the same for focus when I did thay
nimble shoal
Yeah
proven haven
But maybe because subskill
nimble shoal
Focus might behave differently, what part were you testing?
nimble shoal
Yeah, so that probably doesn't snapshot from channel start, kinda like warpath doesn't
proven haven
But if you have like "your next movement skill deals 40% more damage" it does snapshot
But not really a snapshot I guess
nimble shoal
That is very strange behavior, not the norm
proven haven
In any case, how does this work for ailments applied?
Dont they take your current damage at the time of application? For multis not tied to the skill itself
Well multis tied to skill arent your character sheet multis
Eg. Julra ring if I use it after casting bhole it does increase my damage
nimble shoal
They get their stats passed to them by the skill that applies them, same as a subskill, so all decided at the time the skill was cast
nimble shoal
Hmm well, that is very strange
proven haven
I think bhole casts a new subskill each second or something? But that should inherit too
nimble shoal
Yeah, I have not tested black hole ailments too much, but there is always the chance they do it in a nonstandard way
proven haven
But also when I did julra ring with eg. Plasma orb BoD, as long as I casted it during the buff all my BoD was boosted
nimble shoal
Yeah, that is the normal behavior
proven haven
I could also be mistaken, there's a lot of shit going on there
I got the oneshot first try so I didnt really need to tinker
I think AA is different though because its conditional
I think conditions come after skill calcs
Eg. More vs ignited
nimble shoal
Which effect on AA?
proven haven
More vs slowed
nimble shoal
Okay yeah, global conditionals snapshot in a different way. Typically they snapshot the conditional itself, so you need to have that global buff on you when you cast your skill so it has the effect, and then each damage tick it checks the condition to see whether it applies
proven haven
What so if I dont cast AA before bhole it doesnt gain the slow damage?
Need to test that
nimble shoal
Right, assuming bhole does snapshot like a normal skill does
and also assuming AA snapshots like normal, too

agile sparrow
oh thats much better
i never even considered playing fire aura anyting other than spellblade thats where all of hte support for it seems to be at least in the tree

Yeah, only problem is that stacking it up means you have to be like right on top of the enemies to do damage, which is never good

if you do mana stacking glyph you can grab up to 104% area on idols before altar boosting without any real tradeoff. none of the other 4x1 prefixes matter for it and 4x1 gives you mana & armor suffix to manastack with. maybe also % area on weapon corruption from the % area & % increased DOT (but I haven't really looked at weapon corruptions for that build specifically)
assuming you boost suffix and prefix/suffix you can get up to 32% increased idol prefix effect there so up to 137% area overall on idols
nimble shoal
you could use firebrand for lightning aura too right
Right, but idk if the more fire damage vs spreading flames buff from firebrand converts, if not then fire synergizes more with firebrand

I found mana strike to be better with orb giving you basically two instances of semi bursts
well cdr is an issue
shatter strike eats your mana in 1 second
agile sparrow
very dependant on waht weapon you are using
120% increased area on a dagger attackrange is basically nothing and you need to invest in CDR to keep mana up
on a 2hander with a slow attackspeed you might be able to both use the area and make it work
agile sparrow
manastrike after surge is a good call
idk about macros
honestly the only time manastrike really felt bad to use was the new vision of observer fight (fractured prison) because they guy kept teleporting away or standing inside a puddle on the ground where i couldn't get it in range
otherwise it felt fine once I got used to it
nimble shoal
is this a thing?
For SS or other mana heavy melee builds, yeah. Just hold down your main attack and mana strike while sitting on a boss or whatever.
nimble shoal
You might not need it while mapping since you aren't spamming nonstop, but you can still use it of course
agile sparrow
in general mana management is different while mapping because things like movespeed start mattering more than attackspeed for how much mana you are spending per second
restive pasture
maybe this with lighting res stacking
but then you would need low life setup via corruption runes ig
agile sparrow
its also awkward because you dont really use str or attunement
unlesss you go brutality
agile sparrow
i found brutality was a lot better for fame reave than shatter strike
agile sparrow
actually it probably works for both if you are using fangs i hadn't discovered that tech yet
strange needle
It would suck for mapping though having the 2 conversions
restive pasture

and you can get the corruption on gloves too i think

this one
combined with this

and it has very generous auto targeting

So your catalyst applies 50% to everything slammed
are you serious? lol
thats craaaazy

yeah that's insane
do you know if it also counts towards corrupted affixes? those count as legendary affixes too, right?
because it does for gauntlet of strife

They do count too
Cause I checked

if not, i'm gonna file a bug report that their bug isn't all encompassing
okay
jk btw
but yeah that needs to be fixed LOL
strange needle
Someone already reported this ,?not me though
Keep it ,they need t fix other stuff first
You can get mark of death on shield as corruption but it applies that to enemies and yourself so a -25 all res to you and enemies🥲

hehe that explains the 20% void pen I couldnt figure out where came from

Sure, you could try the runebolt version, I find it much easier than the slow foot of the mountain + glacier
+30 ms helps a lot
gear is not the problem though
proven haven
yeah i know it has to be my skill issue
https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/planner/he1sop0i#3 you could try my version, I know some people prefer Runebolt + Blood boots, some prefer Glacier + Foot boots 🤷♂️

can u at least explain to me why is that your choice? 😂
Sure, I can insta refill mana during uber invuln phase
plus I dont give up 30% ms
unborn hamlet
@severe cedar
this is good,
the shock chance is useless to this build since u get so much from just the set effect
proven haven
oh god yeah, the whole reason to use 1x3 is the cast speed, good catch
unborn hamlet
i would get better altar , u dont need omen slots if u dont have good omens to fill them
im using 1 omen slot pyramid until i find more good omen idols
cos more suffix/prefix boost is better than using half good omen idols
the chance to cast LB when u get hit is also kinda useless, your idols definitely need a lot of work
unborn hamlet
other than that your gear is good enough to wipe uber , just need some practice on the boss i guess
harsh abyss
@proven haven I was thinking about the thing we talked about using Wildfire with Black Hole and ran into some problems: it means you can't use the Invoker set, which means you lose a bunch of spell levels, so that got me thinking about other synergies:
Ele Nova, which we were talking about: If you use Crest of Unity, the 1% pen per 10% ele resist. If you're stacking fire resist and ele resist, you're probably going to be in the realm of 150% penetration or more.
Glyph of Dominion: 1 Ward/sec per 5% resist while standing on it, which means somewhere like 300 ward/sec, or possibly significantly more. PLUS the fire conversion for Glyph gets 1% increased application speed per ignite chance. So if you're sitting at 800ish% ignite chance, that means you're getting 16 applications of 3 ignites per second.
So I started thinking: Gordian Prism Ele Nova Runemaster? I Don't think it'd be close to the Black Hole build, but might be decent: ~https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/B7GrZjWg (just threw it together real quick)
unborn hamlet
dear lawd i didnt even look at the blessings 😂
@proven haven for mana i use orian belt potions, i use flame rush for free frenzy
proven haven
it the potion reliable enough?
unborn hamlet
- free out of jail card in bad situations
well maybe not by itself, but my belt has cracked corruption
but u can get it as experiment too
mana gain on potion use
i chug a pot for 100+ mana
i dont use the effect of the boots standing still pretty much never, only during certain phases of uber
much less pain during monos too
proven haven
35% foots < 70% ms bloods 
proven haven
hm
maybe
yea idk, id have to try it
i guess flame rush is probably almost instant with that much CS
unborn hamlet
if i bombrush the echo goal, like kill a boss or seal a gate, if i go directly to it it takes me like 15 seconds per monolith
proven haven
or was it MS it scaled with, I forget
unborn hamlet
yea it does
im sure my set up only works cos i have the exact stuff i need it to work that way
harsh abyss
Also if you're using weaver neck, foot swap might be a pain because it could drop you a skill point on all skills
unborn hamlet
im closer to +5 than i am dropping a point, so its not an issue for me 😂
i tried to calc all the stats i could gain from better gear tho i would still be short like 35 points so i dont think +5 is possible
actually, if i were to doublestack stats on 2LP entwined, it might just be possible 🧐
and on relic too

still struggling to beat uber aberroth, is there something i should chase or do i just have a skill issue?
edgy sage
Gear looks decent enough on first glance
boreal trail
yeah thought so too, maybe its just me playing bad
i guess i could be getting a better belt
its not gonna make a huge diff tho
edgy sage
Was is it that you struggle with?
boreal trail
uber aberroth just taking a while to kill and that makes it hard to stay alive
occasionally run out of mana but not too often
usually when i have to stutter step it eats into my supply because mountain boots do not activate
although to be fair i have made several upgrades since my last attempts
the 2LP body, the +4 helmet (had +3 before) and the gloves
also some of the corrupts (like the dex ones which arent that useful but still)
i could try getting a catalyst with more DPS but then i would lack more res
res is hard to fix atm
maybe i will just do more attempts
i have also been trying to perfect more of the blessings but luck wasnt on my side
edgy sage
You can check Raxx video of his uber kill if you want to see what gear he did it with
boreal trail
was it on this build?
edgy sage
Yeah
boreal trail
okay i will take a look
boreal trail
You can check Raxx video of his uber kill if you want to see what gear he did it...
his gear is worse than mine 🤣
okay i have a skill issue
that must be it
edgy sage
Might be, on the non-insta phasing builds you kinda need to just know the fight to make it
boreal trail
i will just try to learn and beat it
i keep dying to weak and worthless because i shield half a second too late ugh
unborn hamlet
i had troubles too but once i learned a pattern how to move in the fight its pretty trivial, since he almost always does the same skill rotation if u have the same dmg
boreal trail
stutter stepping destroys my mana pool and then i no longer deal damage
and ground dots are very deadly
i did it
that was rough
but hey
lesson learned
no shattered worlds sadly
but i gotta upgrade my belt
the mana issues are the main problem for me in this
and farming orian isnt hard at all

all good. if im around i defo want to tag along for some belts, need more fodder for 20ints , nemesis and turtle
didnt manage to get 3LP so far
boreal trail
threw all the 1LP belts in farsight turtle and not even 1 upgraded
bleh
but whatever i still have the 5 2LP belts i found directly
i think i am just gonna accept 2LP then try to corrupt
no need to get too ambitious for my own good
strange needle
You should group up for this kind of stuff ,game its a lot more enjoyable with people because we all share the pain of the grind😅 ,and the other person can do same thing for you so its a win win scenario
unborn hamlet
i mean i always invite people to run horizons, prisons , towers, veils, rampant coasts, whatever i happen to put a lot down of, but rarely someone takes up the offer 😔
strange needle
I honestly i got like 250 rampant coast ,150 of the belt orian guy , same for brews, and the helmet echo whenever I set them up I ll invite you
unborn hamlet
thanks
boreal trail
i missed all slams
😔
maybe its time to make another char
i am getting sick of this

Try make something else for a while, then come back to it

boreal trail
btw for LB i recommend getting another 3x1 idol instead of the 2x2

i guess its not terrible?

disagree because i have this
and thats why i use flamerush instead of glacier
because its free frenzy
boreal trail
i have about 50 str
unborn hamlet
this way u make use of every refract slot
boreal trail
boreal trail
the guide says twisted heart is still better for ward sustain
but if i get shattered worlds i will probably use it on another char
unborn hamlet
having 1 - 2k extra ward in high corruption makes no real difference
u either take no dmg or u get onetapped eitherway
the 9% DR is much more important
boreal trail
i want to use those
unborn hamlet
- perma haste is a huge QoL
boreal trail
wait i just realized corrupting bad legendary omnis has potential
the maxroll corruption is crazy here
especially for leveling alts
LOL
rip
spark vector
the 9% DR is much more important
I'd imagine it depends a lot of what other sources of damage reduction you have

yea but so is corrupting the abby amulet
forgot its name
maxroll on that is crazy too
boreal trail
nihilis
spark vector
I think Shattered offers way more damage though
unborn hamlet
I'd imagine it depends a lot of what other sources of damage reduction you have
well u cant really play high corruption without good gear (at least on the not so broken characters)
boreal trail
sure does
well what is broken now
what can i go next
i kinda want more clearspeed
clearing with lightning blast sucks
spark vector
On a mage or any class?
boreal trail
any class
unborn hamlet
do we really need to talk about voidknights needing to stack only 1 thing on every item to have everything?
because their passive and skill trees are loaded?
unlike mage?

Amulet from the new Woven Echo
boreal trail
from uber observer?
right okay
the boss himself is easy af but the echo to get him UGH
spark vector
That's the one, yeah
boreal trail
i beat him first try earlier
felt very similar to shade of orobyss
just has the omen guys with him
unborn hamlet
its basically just a shade fight omens making him invurnerable , iirc u gotta kill him once, (down to 20%) then kill 5 omens, then he heals to full, and kill him from full again
sounds like pain but any strong build does this in like 15 seconds
as long as he doesnt use the annoying teleport skill its fine
boreal trail
i bursted them all down
just looking through some builds rn
abom could be fun but maybe clunky
anurok build seems very doable with the items i have rn
unborn hamlet
back in s1 i decided to play a char till i GG the game with it
unborn hamlet
used to be frostclaw RM , tho my PC broke and i only recently came back, they nerfed the build to the ground where it was barely possible to kill normal abby with it, could forget ubber
so i swapped to LB
by GG i mean gear so good there is no improvements to be made left
at least not in the realms of possibility
cos i know stuff like 4LP core is basically impossible
boreal trail
cos i know stuff like 4LP core is basically impossible
yeah i was gonna say
i am hitting that point where any upgrade is very unlikely
silk pewterBOT
boreal trail
this is my char now
some items like the body are already very lucky
i know my 3 set exalts are mid
but farming for those slots is a pain
maybe i go flay
i have all the parts
unborn hamlet
i am hitting that point where any upgrade is very unlikely
there is still plenty of ´´easy´´ room left there
but i get it
wanna play more builds is valid enjoyment of the game
i just enjoy minmaxing
silk pewterBOT
unborn hamlet
my planner
i got 3LP foots few days ago, from turtle at maxrolls, tho i missed my best outcome slam, and the corruption was absolutely useless, so my 2LP ones are sadly far better
boreal trail
there is still plenty of ´´easy´´ room left there
i dont know how to get multi exalted items without simply praying for nemesis for hours
yeah your build is a bit better than mine
unborn hamlet
well since they killed imprints its pretty much just suck off nemesis
boreal trail
2LP shattered is obviously crazy
unborn hamlet
but i believe with CoF rework next season it will be better
boreal trail
hopefully
unborn hamlet
my to do list is to get 4LP laddle finally and corrupt it
boreal trail
one of my main issues with last epoch is endgame feeling like you just run into a wall and i understand its hard to fix
unborn hamlet
my slam item is not the best it could be but i lost hope for any triple T7 wand
boreal trail
and i kinda rob myself of early game when i rush through it with meta builds
unborn hamlet
i hate early game in this game
especially the forced campaing playtrough
like bro i finished it multiple times, where is my skip button?
i understand the need to go till lvl 20ish to get to the end of time
boreal trail
its not entirely forced tho
unborn hamlet
but after that it should just be a skip button for the rest
boreal trail
poe forces it way more
unborn hamlet
yea but i still have to go out of my way to do it to get all passive and idol slots
and to finish it for +1 stats
unborn hamlet
2LP shattered is obviously crazy
my most crazy item has to be the core and helmet
unborn hamlet
apparently set items cannot get corrupt mods?
they can
they just get rerolled into random reforged item
boreal trail
oh ugh
unborn hamlet
thats how i got the helmet u see
boreal trail
i guess the max rolled corruption is best in slot then
unborn hamlet
thats a random corrupted set item
boreal trail
oh lol
unborn hamlet
hell would need to freeze over to craft that by hand
boreal trail
i guess the max rolled corruption is best in slot then
(talking about the amulet)
unborn hamlet
Not actual set items. Reforged can, though.
you corrupt the actual set item
it gains random corrupt stat
nimble shoal
It does not
unborn hamlet
and that forces the item to reroll into random reforge item
nimble shoal
It can reforge, makes it totally different
left hill
cant wait to kill regular aberroth 80 times to farm nihilis
could always do a Cursed Coin Amulet with +1 Skills corruption until then for a budget +2 skills amulet
unborn hamlet
fundamentally no
it gaining the corrupted affix is what forces the reroll into reforged item
because the set item itself cant gain the affix
nimble shoal
Reforging is just an outcome for set corruption, there has been a lot of confusion about whether sets can get a corrupted affix, and they just can't
unborn hamlet
this will 100% get changed/nerfed next season for sure because the rerolls are a lot of the times pretty crazy, its just hard to hit what u actually need
unborn hamlet
Reforging is just an outcome for set corruption, there has been a lot of confusi...
look let me explain it in basic math
just read what the forge says
nimble shoal
lol
unborn hamlet
the set item CANNOT gain corrupted affix, because it cant have one, which means when u corrupt it, and it GAINS the affix which it CANNOT have, it forces the game to reroll the set item into random reforged item
its literally listed as a positive outcome on tunklabs
the forge , the thing u use ingame, by itself, tells u the item gained a corrupted affix, the set item itself, the forge doesnt tell u the item got rerolled into a reforged item
nimble shoal
Yup, it's reforging, the whole point is that you cannot get a corrupted affix on a set item
unborn hamlet
yes
it just irks me when people dont understand why this happens
set item -> corrupt -> gains stat it cannot have -> item rerolls into reforged item
its literally that simple of a process
but the thing is the outcome of the corruption wasnt the reroll
nimble shoal
It happens the way it happens because the devs programmed it that way, simple
unborn hamlet
it was the item gaining the affix
yea, maybe they should look at what it says in their own game
and put it into their oh so good ingame guide
oh wait i forgot they do not give a single shaite about explaining anything upfront
thats why we still need datamines to know anything
nimble shoal
I don't think they need to do anything, though it would be nice if they explained that getting a corrupted affix on a set item is impossible, they also don't explain any other possibilities
unborn hamlet
they dont explain pretty much anything
did u know
the julra slam
can critically hit?
99.9% of people got no clue this even exists
cos guess what
nimble shoal
Yes because the devs told us, same as the set affix thing
unborn hamlet
ITS WRITTEN NOWHERE
it doesnt matter what the devs say in their random streams or here on discord
put the explanations in your damn game
u introduce a system and u explain almost nothing about it
nimble shoal
They don't need to explain absolutely everything
unborn hamlet
amazing care for your game
i love this game i really do, but EHG is just not good at a lot of things
nimble shoal
Sure, but this is not really one of those things imo. Mainly slow dev cycle and bugs.

unborn hamlet
nah gotta get nihilis but its ez i can basically oneshot regular aberroth
yes but u face the real endgame boss
the unskippable dialogue
strange needle
They don't need to explain absolutely everything
This is true but a lot of stuff is to hide face like feels much better to say less exalted multiexalt than saying we just make it so its a 90%- or more less chance thus killing multiexalts all together
If it wasn't for dataminers we wouldn't know like half the stuff that matters when playing arpgs,?ingame guide is nice but needs to be updated ASAP with useful information that we need and have in 1.4
nimble shoal
Hard disagree, I'd rather us not know exacts
glad marten
Sorry @nimble shoal , we're just casuals so we wouldnt understand
They definitely dont need to explain anywhere that there a miniscule chance to critically hit a julra slam in game. It was in the original patch notes, and the majority of players will never see one
nimble shoal
Yeah, heck, I've never seen one either lol, and it really has no bearing on how I play
People will always optimize the fun out of the game if they have the tools to do it

I think hardcore players tend to have an outsized opinion of their importance or representation. Y'all flamed me for being a casual the other day and I'm definitely in the top 5 percentile on engagement and playtime.
I think game health overall is important and the opinions of players who want to spend 500 hours per season should be considered, but only insofar as they improve the health of the game overall. EHG should not make changes that benefit the nolifes at the expense of everyone else.
strange needle
I think hardcore players tend to have an outsized opinion of their importance or...
You seem to think that the changes were well done,I dont mind if imprints dont work for exalts if at least another method was released to offset the change but it didn't they did nothing to fix player experience this league ,its hard to explain to people stuff when they cant understand said stuff,people who actually used imprints a lot will tell you that they were good maybe a bit too good but they didn't fix anything in game ,maybe if I drop the exact item imprinted I could fix my crafting problems but its pretty random
Imprints dont fix all the jank the game has ,and people who never used them or barely think they did
There is no gear progression and thats ok even more power to mg,go farm idols and tell me how much fun it is as cof

If ehg released 4 month leagues stuff would feel way better

I think imprints were an accidental and poor fix to a real problem that the game has had for a long time
I think they were right to put imprints where they are now and hope they create good systems to solve the pain points that imprints were accidentally solving

But after 7 months you give me a merchant that sells 1 useful echo,echo chains are good and very nice ,corruption some are insane but overall another rng extra layer when the whole system is already flawed

You love the ehg changes thats great but I don't
strange needle
And we answered said questions a lot
glad marten
You love the ehg changes thats great but I don't
I don't "love" them
I think they're fine
Why are you playing this game is not forcing something on you
strange needle
And I think they aren't not so complicated really
glad marten
All I hear from you is hostility and I'm wondering what keeps you playing
strange needle
Thats ok I think the USA president is a clown but someone may love it
Thats how it is for humans
Yeah very hostile for sure
Are you gonna block me like you did to the other guy cause idk I feel even in disagreement I aint offending apart from the casual sorry about that

I'd really like to repair the name calling
If like this to be like...a vigorous but friendly disagreement
That's my hope

Man I love this game and i just want them to do better thats all ,last epoch has always been the game that many can agree has a lot of potential and could be next diablo 2 or something like that ,hopefully 1.5 is a kick ass season,this one has too many balance problems and bugs for me some funny .

Real and true, I can tell they are trying with the bugs situation but still far from solved, and balance is becoming a bigger issue as we go. Great game, all considered, really hope they can work it out.

thats what my gripe is, i love this game, but i feel like each season they try their best to make it a more miserable experience
and s4 is by far the worst offender
they had 2 years to fix their useless corruption scaling, to improve drops on high corr for the people who pushed it, to fix their terrible FP system that didnt get balanced for all the new sh*t they added to it, but all they did is remove the only way possible to achieve any good gear while adding yet another RNG sh/tfest to the crafing system
full bluff
Wish they added something to replace it, atleast for CoF. Guess on MG I could buy 2xT7 spears pretty easy?, But on CoF, those are rare 🙂
Even if 2xT7 was easier, would still have to corrupt 50+ spears to get the corruption I need
add in the 2/3 failed slams 🙂
So 150 2xT7 spears...
and the 3000 unique spears to feed up lp2 .)
desert steppe
then you get T1 of the corruption 😄
full bluff
T3... with sinlge T7 is best so far
I gave up on the lp2 farming
Really need that area
desert steppe
yeah corruption could definitely use some fine tuning
full bluff
For me it doesn't matter much, I can work with any system
Just some systems have more fun in them
The building up imprints for the perfect ones was good fun in the long run
full bluff
imprint T7 spear, havoc for crit multi, 100% slam, gamble corruption... 150 times
run out of dungeon keys first 🙂
good thing the spears are easy from rune of ascendance
desert steppe
man the continous julra runs were some of the most 💤 thing I did in the game
full bluff
If could change the imprinting system to suit my own fun, I would revert it to the old chances, and replace the trove one with a boss kill trigger. That would work great for me. Really hated opening boxes
desert steppe
yeah box farmingwas 💀

I have to ditch my SCF Mage cuz My Ignite stacking don't do enough Damage in the lv 35+ campaign
so the question is Am I just being clueless about ignite stacking or the fireball is something not suitable for ignite build in the first place?
unborn hamlet
some builds just dont function without being max level/good gear
umbral trellis
kinda need spreading flame to actually cruising campaign
so early on spec into more fire ball and dmg
unborn hamlet
a lot of the builds have a leveling variant, where u use completely different skills and stuff to get across campaign, and only when u hit like lvl 80 or so and have the basic gear u respecc to the actual build
maxroll even adds a disclaimer that all the builds assume u are level X
sudden sinew
some builds just dont function without being max level/good gear
Heaven forbid a company just fiddle with numbers until things perform on an even level
Instead, we get 4-6 months of waiting in between for them to then completely blow the balance out of the water again
Like, imagine every week or so, they just increased and decreased numbers by a small percentage until things start to look how they intended
Now if you'll excuse me, I'll go back to doing trillions of damage with Rogue shadows while other skills could never imagine getting that close to doing a single instance of that magnitude

Hi, I play a mage-sorcerer and I'm not sure what items to allocate in the Weaver Tree. It seems a bit confusing to me. Can you help me?
unborn hamlet
Hi, I play a mage-sorcerer and I'm not sure what items to allocate in the Weaver...
what items, you mean the imprints?
unborn hamlet
uh
kindred rune
what can i do ?
unborn hamlet
generally u would want to path towards the locked slots by the shortest route possible, and then spec your points (you can respec them at any time) towards the nodes u want to use
since u only have 3 point ill assume u just started with the character
kindred rune
im playing mage-sorcerer so Which one should I give it to ?
unborn hamlet
this is generic for each class, doesnt matter what u play
kindred rune
hmm
kindred rune
nope im just playing offline i love play alone
unborn hamlet
then u wont be playing MG cos thats not a thing in offline
i recommend going this path then
one to the right
then to the bottom right
then up towards this book
1 point each
that should prove you with experience boost to level up faster
from the book u also have close pathway to the right side slots for item imprints
what they do is self explanatory, if u aim ur cursor at them it tells u
unborn hamlet
if u dont know the system it can be confusing but there is guides how to set it up,
but to start off i think ur best bet is going towards the exp book node i said,
kindred rune
hm
kindred rune
if u dont know the system it can be confusing but there is guides how to set it ...
where are they ?
kindred rune
hmm
unborn hamlet
and each point down is a different strategy and it explains to you what its good for
kindred rune
I think I'll only understand the system by trying it out and reading about it.
unborn hamlet
its intuitive u just need to read, u can just select what feels right to u and thats valid too
kindred rune
hmm
unborn hamlet
but there is nothing such as ´´mage specific´´ tree thats all
the tree is the same for every class
kindred rune
From what I've seen on YouTube, they have different Weaver Tree templates for everyone.
