🧙┃mage

[short peak]

I dont play a lot of LE

[unborn hamlet]

It's the best meteor build afaik

Issue with FC is the mana cost

Tho now with omen idols with like, perfect mana reduce FC idols stack it might just be mana neutral

Elemental nova is already neutral by its nodes themselves

[short peak]

that's annoying though a buiild that only works in the deep deep endgame

Im like doing my second monolith atm

[unborn hamlet]

It's the meteor cost , cos it procss FC which then procs even more meteors auto casting, 1k mana just evaporates in 2 seconds

[short peak]

also I know/heard idols are like the most annoying thing in the game

[unborn hamlet]

That's cos EHG doesn't allow fun

Less pain in MG tho

But MG should be default if you're trying off meta stuff cos you get everything dirt cheap

[short peak]

I did a map and died, there were too many mob I was taking too much dmg and so I felt like yeah disintegrate won't work out i feelk

[unborn hamlet]

I never used disintegrate so I can't help you with that

Generally any skill spam mage should run twisted heart for ward gen

[short peak]

it's fine tbh my goal when I started the character was static orb of orbiting

but it was so late I sticked with disintegrate

[unborn hamlet]

You only swap to SW in late game when you have strong gear

[short peak]

you know wanting to do something you can only try at lvl 30 or something

annoying at time

you don't even know if it feel good to use

[unborn hamlet]

You know I always wanted glacier to be a viable skill

[short peak]

whats SW

[unborn hamlet]

Shattered worlds relic from ubberoth

[short peak]

isn't glacier one of the strongest one ?

I know people level up on this

[unborn hamlet]

It's ok for leveling

The dmg is just not there later

[short peak]

in the past I tried to make a fireball dot build

didn't work out

in empowered mono

[unborn hamlet]

There is overall just a lot of skills that do nothing, especially for mage

Cos the running joke is mages only get nerfs

[short peak]

yes

[unborn hamlet]

Which is not even a joke , cos it's true

[short peak]

also weird thing spellblade you have many ability but they all do the same thing

like they might aswell be just one

lol

[unborn hamlet]

Slightly overperfoming mage build ?????

Better nerf it 7 times to make it feel balanced

[short peak]

😔 *

[unborn hamlet]

ZHP ballista doing 100k+ corruption since season 1?

Better not touch my child

[short peak]

how does frost claw elemental nova works

that you said earlier

[unborn hamlet]

You want a build or for the meteor thing

Cos direct cast FC + nova is not that complicated and it's a fun build

[short peak]

I was curious you talked about meteor frost claw and elemental nova

and I have no idea how it even works

it's just curiosity

[unborn hamlet]

Meteor has a node that procs frost claw, frostclaw has a bunch of nodes that casts more frostclaws and also a node that procs elemental nova, you get like 100+ hits per meteor cast, you stack crit, and use harbinger of stars belt , that procs more meteors on crit

So it autoloops itself until you run out of mana

[short peak]

I feel like anything I try on mage is bad x) with my build making skill

[unborn hamlet]

Which is almost instantly cos yeah... FC mana issue

[short peak]

one time I tried you know the unique

that proc a tidal wave

I loved the concept

[unborn hamlet]

Unfortunately the only unique in the game that "casts a skill" that is unrelated to any class that actually does something is spark charge from enigma

Everything else is straight up useless

[short peak]

is this good ?

[unborn hamlet]

If you take away enigma from LB you basically make the build useless

[short peak]

thanks I had no idea

[unborn hamlet]

Hydradreon rune master is a good build

Tho...

[short peak]

I got this while levelling elemental nova may be nice to do

[unborn hamlet]

The entry cost into the build is brutal

[short peak]

ouch

damn you really your stuff

idk why but I struggle more making my build work on LE than poe

all my builds get stopped at empowered mono

[unborn hamlet]

Depends what you do. Some builds just work with minimal to no gear and are strong

Some builds are only strong with strong gear

That's why imprint nerfs sentenced all the fun in the game to lifetime in jail

Most niche builds work with super high exalt/unique LP slams

Which is now impossible to do without imprints

[short peak]

im checking the uniques I have

the game kept giving me fire related unique

it feel so bad like you feel like fate is telling you

you chose wrongly

[unborn hamlet]

EHG wants people to try new fun stuff then remove the only way to try new fun stuff

[short peak]

you were supposed to play fire

this time

i got it at like lvl 20

I was like

sad

[unborn hamlet]

Firestarter is used in some builds as core item

But 4LP

[short peak]

only 4 lp ?

what is this

rich people

[unborn hamlet]

I mean it's "super easy" to get

[short peak]

I feel like if you can get 4 lp your build is mostly done

and you can reroll

[unborn hamlet]

When I farmed sceptres for my frostclaw build I dropped like 50 of them, I didn't even pick them off the ground

It's a super low level unique potential unique

4LP is what, like 1 in 70? Or something like that

[short peak]

oh

[unborn hamlet]

Just stupid easy

[short peak]

I see

[desert steppe]

1:271

[unborn hamlet]

Base chance with no scaling

[desert steppe]

it's basically as easy as it gets

[short peak]

this exalted mod was nice it give me 170 ward per second

with 3 lightning rune

just passively

I think

goated

[desert steppe]

yeah, goes up to like 1:173 with a bit of corr + CoF

[unborn hamlet]

My point was mostly that it's just a super common super easy to get 4LP

Because as you said it's as easy as it gets

[desert steppe]

yeah I'm not disagreeing, just filling in the details

[unborn hamlet]

Ah cmon discord

Sorry bout that, lag

[short peak]

I read this

[unborn hamlet]

Did you see the msg?

[short peak]

yes

good build to farm lot item

other build start out strong

[unborn hamlet]

It was not sending, then sent twice, then I deleted one, and it deleted both, gotta love discord sometimes

[short peak]

lol

right now im trying out skills

to find something funny to do

what i was going for doesn't feel fun

the elemental nova channeling

doesn't feel good to use

[unborn hamlet]

I think direct cast Frostclaw+ nova is a fun build, just not gonna be killing Uber at any point with any gear 😂

It's viable for 700-800 Corr, just doesn't have the dmg to kill ubber

Cos ailment builds are a joke

[short peak]

800 CORRUPTION damn

me 150 my build are usually bricked

there

xD

[unborn hamlet]

You said you don't want solved builds so I didn't mention it

[short peak]

only on sentinel and rogue

I can like be fine

maybe

[unborn hamlet]

But the flashy disco is definitely fun

[short peak]

they seem easier to build for me

[unborn hamlet]

Yea well, cos both sentinel and rogue are giga busted

And have 600 different builds that are good

[short peak]

oh this looked fun until I see 3s cd

oh a little random 40% more dmg node

wtf

[unborn hamlet]

Nova has good nodes

But the base dmg sucks so much it doesn't do anything

[short peak]

oh really

[unborn hamlet]

mages always get nerfed

[short peak]

one time I tried a black hole build too

it was ass

xD

[unborn hamlet]

Black hole is bad for mapping, that's why

If you look up frostclaw sorcerer build up on maxroll from BinaQc it's the FC+nova build I mentioned

[short peak]

i'll check after

for curiosity

learning sake

[unborn hamlet]

I tweaked it to make nova do a lot more, but yeah, baseline I have from there

[short peak]

necromancer and primalist I also struggle a lot

with those

I had only fun on two class

😭

[unborn hamlet]

We don't talk about primalist

It sounds to me primalist should just be deleted from the game with how EHG treats that class

If you think mages have it bad lmao

[short peak]

I think I hate ward

no matter what I do

meh for me

[desert steppe]

ward is kinda annoying to wrap your head around

[short peak]

okay I tank one hit

second one im dead

no recovery

[unborn hamlet]

Ward is like, 90% weaker than it was in season 1, so understandable

Sentinels just have infinitely better and easier defensive layers to make than mages do

Cos their class is actually treated as a class

[short peak]

like right now I have aroundf 2K ward and 3K5 with buffs

second monlith

but it's so not reliable

[unborn hamlet]

Twisted heart as I mentioned

It's mandatory item pretty much

[short peak]

let me check what is this item

[unborn hamlet]

Twisted heart of ukeiros

[short peak]

it doesn't look that crazy to me

I gues is it because you get leech and then transform it in ward

so you get recovery ?

[unborn hamlet]

This item alone gets you 7-8k ward permanently with any spam skill

And yes, you need one of the 1.5% leech node

Depends on what you scale

But works best with cold and lightning

Or you get the leech blessing from one of the timelines

[short peak]

yeah nothign I really want to do it's depressing when your plan failed

I thought disintegrate and glyph of dominion would feel cool and stuff

but it doesn't

I might have to copy a build like you advised me

if I continue to play mage

[unborn hamlet]

There is nothing to really do on mage, everything usable is solved

Will see if some new items gonna change stuff , but nothing changed for us this season

[short peak]

also runic invocation is so weird

how does a new guy arrives

[unborn hamlet]

Let's not get started on that

[short peak]

and build around them

I check there like hundreds of them

and because of cooldown and rune you can't even use it as a mainskill

i heard

[unborn hamlet]

You don't, the skill might as well just be renamed to reowyn's frost guard and cast that as default cos literally everything else the skill does with runes is useless

[desert steppe]

I just pretend that class doesn't exist

[short peak]

flame rush feel bad to cast

and use

frost wall so conditional

[unborn hamlet]

That's just a matter of items and learning

Same for frost wall

Frost wall is a core skill for more than 1 build

[short peak]

what are known invocation that are good to build around ?

[unborn hamlet]

I use both on LB

[short peak]

if you can even do it

[unborn hamlet]

None

[short peak]

not even hydragon

[unborn hamlet]

As I said, skill might as well be renamed to reowyn's frost guard and rune master as a class be deleted

[short peak]

it gives so many skills

many are cool

im sure

[unborn hamlet]

All useless

Impossible to scale

Impossible to make viable

[short peak]

I guess it make sense they don't have a tree

like other skills

so you are stuck with the base version

[unborn hamlet]

No, that's just EHG sucking at skill tree making

They can very easily stuff in skill nodes in runic invo to fix a lot of the issues with the skill

[short peak]

and they are so slow when they do something

idk how they do it

[unborn hamlet]

But DW, EHG is cooking 3 new nerfs to mage

Mage will get all their skills to do 0 dmg so they can promote their new paid class

[short peak]

every timle I come back to the game and im like all this time for this

[unborn hamlet]

They will call it

[short peak]

not saying the update are necessarily bad

[unborn hamlet]

Spellslinger

And it will just be a season 1 pre -nerf mage

[short peak]

but 8 months or whathever is a long ass time

[unborn hamlet]

[short peak]

for one mecanic

the omen is fun

though

way better than beast and cemetary

[unborn hamlet]

I like omens but

[short peak]

i don't want to go in cemetary and beast rift

I at least don't mind doing omen

[unborn hamlet]

Whoever made said omens did 0 play testing on anything

It's the most atrocious mechanic we gotten by absolute miles

Everything it drops is useless

Getting good omen idols is borderline impossible

[short peak]

that's the issue of corruption

[unborn hamlet]

Getting good altar is borderline impossible

[short peak]

in poe it's the same

we learned slowly that

getting corrupted items

[unborn hamlet]

And not only that

[short peak]

sucks ass

[unborn hamlet]

They locked new items

[short peak]

no way you get a good item already done

[unborn hamlet]

Behind impossibly hard to do echo

[short peak]

I started to die a lot in omens

they hard

[unborn hamlet]

You don't play S rank meta build?

Tough luck

Can't do any of the new shit

Single omen is at least manageable

Triple omen is not only a meta build check but also your PC performance check

[short peak]

oh it's like poe and the T17

look at your new super hard map that is way better than anything else

well we learned not everyone cna do those at a high level

it's fixed now

[unborn hamlet]

Wouldn't be surprised if EHG made it just to check build performances and then nerf everything that's not sentinel or rogue based into oblivion

[short peak]

my favorite thing in LE is campaign not that it's amazing but it's a chill time I don''t mind doing it and level up a character

very comfy

and gear chase

improving the gear

[unborn hamlet]

That's the part of the game I absolutely hate and that's why I keep playing legacy lmao

[short peak]

lol

[unborn hamlet]

I already did the campaign blud

Lemme skip it

[short peak]

nah I'd hate this

it's something about progression

[unborn hamlet]

Why do I need to play it 400 times each season, what purpose does it serve

I understand going to lvl 20 and end of time

Ok

But everything after should be an option to skip

Wanna do it, do it

[short peak]

they did it in D4

and I hate it there also

the skip

[unborn hamlet]

But, let me have the option to skip something I already did hundreds of times

[short peak]

hundreds

damn

[unborn hamlet]

Literally just wasting my time and making me more sick of the game

[unborn hamlet]

Not me, but many did

[short peak]

the story I always found it bad

sad about it

[unborn hamlet]

I did it 6 times over the seasons and I'm so sick of the campaign I revolt on the mere thought I have to do it again when the paid classes are out

[short peak]

paid classes

I want to forget

[unborn hamlet]

Like I'm gonna be flipping a coin if I even buy them, that's how much I don't wanna see the campaign again

[vivid wolf]

@unborn hamlet Hey back in… season 0… Hydrahedron and static orb kind of had viable builds

[unborn hamlet]

They still do tho

[vivid wolf]

So you know… that’s… 2 of the other invocations…

[unborn hamlet]

Static orb is still the main skill for hardcore

Ok, but let's be real, are they useful now? 😂

[vivid wolf]

Some of the other ones loooooook really pretty if you turn down corruption and turn off the numbers that display…

[short peak]

what if you go all in on them

[unborn hamlet]

Also static orb is another love child of enigma

[short peak]

like really insane gear

[vivid wolf]

Static orb is fun I like that skill

[unborn hamlet]

Static orb itself does absolutely nothing

So I don't count it

[vivid wolf]

Fair, but balls

[unborn hamlet]

Haha , balls

[vivid wolf]

Mmm, yes.

[unborn hamlet]

[short peak]

you can proc it once every 3s with disintegrate

you forgot this

which make it viable

and im jooking

[unborn hamlet]

Anyway, I gotta get off the bed , I've been talking here way too long instead of enjoying my only day off between 12 days of working

[vivid wolf]

I think there is still a lack of scaling and support for invocations, like the triple element invocations look beautiful but most scaling doesn’t math well

[short peak]

I dislike on so many stuff in the game straight up sucks

I remember doing the fire raptor when it came out

and surprise the most important dmg scaling node didn't work

and that's when it's supposed to work

[vivid wolf]

They could add a node path with the random runes that makes your random invocation do 20x damage and it may still not see play but would be fun

[short peak]

other stuff just not even bug they just sucks

[desert steppe]

invoker stuff is just tricky to translate to arpg

you want invocation combos to matter since you go through the trouble to invoke the certain combinations

but also most of the game is clearing mobs that die in one or two shots anyway

[short peak]

tbh invoker is such a bad idea in last epoch

I can see it work in poe

but last epoch

I feel like it's the bad game for it

how do you make a skill tree for this

you don't

so it sucks

[vivid wolf]

Runemaster power fantasy is awesome - reminds me of mage wars or whatever that game was…

Magicka

[short peak]

idk what game you talk about but i thought you were summoning a korean P2W mobile game

[vivid wolf]

Runemaster reminds me of magicka

[short peak]

lol

I think I don't like last epoch I've got to accept it, it was very fun a few time but i think there is more I don't have fun with than the rest

[vivid wolf]

You played a little wizard and could pick from different elements and combos would do different things… like make you a mana shield or shoot chain lightning or freeze enemies

[short peak]

everytime I try

I love cof

gear progression

and I find the campaign quite chill

but that's it

😔

[short peak]

yeah I never bought it

i remember it now

anyway I need to go eat something

[zinc pewter]

whats the best way to farm red rings on cof? just unique rings proph? or maybe farm rune of ascendc ?

[unborn hamlet]

ring prophs.., anyway. the average is 300k favor per ring. you just gotta grind it up if u want red rings

ascendance not only u have to spend more favor u also have to pick up trash rings of the ground to ascend and u dont get increased chances for LP from corruption either

[vivid wolf]

Was crafting a new LB helmet and got a beautiful t7 corruption on my previous one and now I'm torn 🙁

[unborn hamlet]

just keep corrupting vilatra helmets till u get the juice like me and it will be better than anything u can handcraft anyway

. for reference

[hybrid girder]

yup. heres mine (2600c, in my uber swaps): https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/BZ3Y96vl - for clear i run army of skin, sunwreath and a defensive ring and area idols. burnchoys https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/bokchoy/character/Burnchoy - a solid firebrand+jasper+truesight build. both do uber in around 40s

[frozen dirge]

thanks a lot !

[short peak]

@hybrid girderis there any runic invocation you can build around beside hydraegon

?

👀

[hybrid girder]

the strong ones are hydrahedron, mirror bolt and covenant arc/brand of deception (see frozen's build: https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/Q0DpY3PQ). there is probably a 1-rune build using unvar's rise idol that is good for something also

[short peak]

they all looks cool

this is criminal

🥲

i guess this one got nerfed in my game it looks way slower than the vod

[hybrid girder]

there wernt any changes in 1.4 to invocations. i used covenant arc in 1.3 and it could 1 shot julra and normal abberoth and had great clear. the mana tank hydrahedron would be my pick for s4 since its uber viable. i would be tempted to see if stacking 5-6 unvar's rise with crackling glyph/rune shard would be any good

[short peak]

also there is one creating a ball that auto cast runebolt

so many cool one

@hybrid girdercan we automate or we are forced to spam 3 shit skills to summon one

and here I was doing a lightning dmg over time

gg corrupt

[hybrid girder]

you run immutable order in the runemaster skill tree to solve that

[short peak]

doesn't it give a cooldown to it ?

[hybrid girder]

yeah

[short peak]

@hybrid girder on disintegrate there are node to cast static orb, lightningn blast but how do you pair a channeling dmmg over time ability with hitbased one

so i'm starting to be like is this even a thing ?

I doubt you can use disintegrate like an utlity skill

[short peak]

👀 actually I can just cleart with this and the wand that make me cast static on evade

[kindred rune]

hi , I'm wearing the Wings of Discord armor, but it looks like this; I believe it should look different normally. Is this normal ?

[sacred kite]

IDK about that one in particular but not all uniques have unique models unfortunately. Something they're working on

[kindred rune]

hmm , what should i do ? is there any suggestion ?

[hybrid girder]

only 2 options, cosmetics or different armor :/

[kindred rune]

It seems there will be improvements related to the appearance, but there's no specific date for that.

[short peak]

Okay m'y build is kinda fixed. I evade which proc a brand dmg over time that is very strong then it also proc static orb which does charges ground another dot. With more shock chance ill be able to clear like this I think

When I want to do real dmg I do the same but add flame ward glyphe of dominion and disintegrate

😎

I need to get more defense and more dmg but its fun to play

There are lot of ward standing in glyphe, channeling, having runes

And so on

[versed hawk]

Sounds pretty cool. Can you import your profile to LETools and post it?

[short peak]

Im going to sleep also idk what im doing and im in third monilith

[short peak]

If you wanted to give me advicd its cool but bragging about it no

That build is probably trash xD

If you wanted to give advice

Im really just starting

I have a lot to figure yet

I was just happy I manages to make it from it feels trash I want to give up to its fun I want to see how where I can go with it

[short peak]

Dont judge me too much 😭

[glad marten]

No. Those nodes are absurdly weak

[versed hawk]

Right away, I'd get rid of those points that grant resistances in glyph of dominion. You don't need them, you're fully capped. Unless you want it for the ward generation in the glyph, but I think you should put those points towards damage.

If you're mostly clearing with GoD, I would highly recommend getting rid of disintegrate. It is just not a very good skill. You won't be able to use it with that setup once you get to empowered monoliths, so you may as well swap it for something useful now. Probably teleport to get you around the map, but up to you.

[umbral scroll]

Anyone have any tips on this build of mine. I'm currently struggling to consistently beat 100 Corruption echos, and have been actively looking for better defensive gear, but haven't had much luck in that department.

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/foxspiritkage/character/-Emanon

[desert steppe]

First thing that stands out is the physical resistance

You'd also want some armor, and maybe a bit of health

Try getting the twisted heart relic, it will also help your survivability

If you got some cof favor, try getting some extra copies with LP and slam them with a T7 exalted affix. The helm should be easy to get an LP2 one

[umbral scroll]

Yeah, just haven't found that last bit for the res yet. Was hoping to snag it on an idol.

I'll definitely add the Twisted heart to the filter for sure

[umbral scroll]

I get two tapped by the Sanctum boss unfortunately, well at tier 2 anyway.

[desert steppe]

Ouch

But yeah she does hit really hard

Tho iirc the tier only limits by the unique item's level, not the exalt's so you should still be able to slam a t7 in.

I'm not 100% sure tho

[umbral scroll]

Yeah, all the legendary pieces I have are from nemesis eggs. I cleared to tier 1 sanctum but it didn't let me use the slam machine thingy

[desert steppe]

Ahh right, I think you only get to choose on t2 and up.

[desert steppe]

@umbral scroll I'd swap the middle bottom blessing for the physical res blessing for now then

Probably change the dodge one to armor too, since we're not really stacking dodge anyway

You probably want the crit rate blessing over the crit damage too for now

[umbral scroll]

How do I change the blessing?

[desert steppe]

There's an npc at the rightmost of the end of time

They're also on several other places but I don't remember where exactly

It's the one just before the entrance to the monoliths

[umbral scroll]

I don't have those options on the other two.

Got the first one changed which I didn't know was there. Lol

[hybrid girder]

til: necrotic +spell/+melee is a better affix than +melee fire

[desert steppe]

Ah yeah, you need to have seen them before on the boss drop at the end of the fight. Can try killing the bosses a few more times to fish for those blessings

[spring crag]

@hybrid girder I wonder if covenant arc is stronger than hydraheron

I tried igneous rain but it cannot even do bossing (let alone farming) due to the aiming difficulty

[spring crag]

Both have 150% ade

[hybrid girder]

that could potentially work, would enabled running cleaver for fundamental crit chest buff

[spring crag]

So covernant arc is crit build right?

[spring crag]

I want to try cleaver too but the fortress staff provides a lot of flat

With idols I think you can stack a lot of armor, dodge and ward

[sudden kettle]

Good morning, you guys think this item is worthy of a 3lp ladle?

I'm at 547% crit multi from my current spoon:

[proven haven]

Eh probably no, increased isn't the best for int stack, which I assume you are doing, crit roll isn't the best, light pen not perfect, shock kinda dead stat. I'd say slam one if you have an extra, then corrupt. If you hit a good corrupt then it would be pretty giga

We did it bois, one of only 15 mages that made it to 100 HC this season lol https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/oP6w3bM6
With a new fire-based fire aura cook, felt really solid. Huge damage potential, really tanky.
/played was ~36 hours (not really racing or anything)
/deaths was 0 (obviously)

[short peak]

thanks. Disintegrate is needed for single target, GoD is about damage but also really about support it increase my wards and dmg a lot like it gives 40°% to disintegrate

i think i'm gonna stack a bit of mana

for dmg of static orb and disintegrate

[frozen dirge]

can i ask why you swap between mana strike and firebrand between the 2 builds? dont you have mana issues without manastrike?

[short peak]

before I was trying to use disintegrate and GoD all the time

it felt bad

now I can just evade and it already deal a big bunch of dmg

it's comfier

God is more about passive nice dmg but big boost in defense when I want to anchor down and disintegrate

I guess i can also drop it on top of my evade for extra clear or a bigger boy

maybe it's like very inneficient for you

😔

im quite happy about this I wanted to build around disintegrate and static orb from the start and I think it's working

quite nice

[short peak]

I want to improve my build so I can survive empowered monolith

not sure how to do it

but im trying to figure it out as I go

stacking ward

i'm atr 3K ward, 4k on my glyph even 4K5 while channeling on the glyph

but obviously wards go down

when you get hit

im not sure if I can incorporate some dmg taken as mana

I can barely sustain static orb

but i'll see later

im quite lost about defensive set up yet

so many possiblities

or maybe it's fine and I just need to get more ward, some armour

ohhhh

nice drop maybe it's good for me

no idea if penetration is very good in this game

[robust junco]

If effectively a More Dmg

[short peak]

yo vlad

[short peak]

does it pair well with shock ?

[robust junco]

You add all your sources of penetration and resistance Shred (not armor shred) together
You get a number, let's say 100%
You get 100% More Dmg

[robust junco]

Yes, they do the same thing

[short peak]

so since im doing a lightning dot mage

it's good

[robust junco]

Shock "Shred" or remove lightning res

Penetration does the same, you add the numbers together

[short peak]

can you give advice on what im doing btw

im really not great at mage

but im having fun so far

I'll have a look later tonight 😁

[short peak]

thanks bro

[desert steppe]

too OP pls nerf

[sudden kettle]

Thanks, it bricked anyways on the 2LP I slammed 😄

[short peak]

is this a good helmet ? when you do the math it's like 10 ward for 30 resistance

though right now it seem to be a straight upgrade

im gonna give it the exalted mod

[proven haven]

Yes. One of best generic mage helm options. Almost T7 int worth of stats on it plus ward and decent armor.

[harsh abyss]

And the "Lightning Pen" affixx is a crazy amount of ward/sec if you're going 3x Gon

[short peak]

im just using runes as passives

for ward generation

even this

but 57 ward per rune is insane

👀

[harsh abyss]

Yeah, it's very good

[robust junco]

I see you got Zerax and Frozen with you
They'll have way better advices than me for your mage 😅

[short peak]

I did my first lvl 90 monolith and it's already got corruption ?

🤔

[short peak]

nooooo I need u

abandonned by my french countrymen

💀

[robust junco]

From what I can see, you aren't taking advantage of the node that gives you More Dmg per max mana

[robust junco]

You just unlocked Empowered

[short peak]

yeah I need to work on this

[robust junco]

I would do that, 21% Inc Dmg isnt that great

[short peak]

nice idea

[robust junco]

What is your traversal skill ?

[short peak]

I use the runic invocation

to tp if I need

[robust junco]

I see

[short peak]

I mlight aswell put it to use

[robust junco]

I can see Flame Rush being nice here

[short peak]

for what reason ?

[robust junco]

It would automate Static Orb and Glpyh

As your traversal

[short peak]

ohh

I cannot :/ runic invocation is giving me good ward

i think

[short peak]

so I spec into it

static orb is automated in my wand

[robust junco]

True

[short peak]

if I had a sixth slot i would

because it's a good idea

[short peak]

I move around evade => static orb then I Glyph or disintegrate to slay the rest

on big monster I evade into glyph and flame ward disintegrate

later on I'll try to get shock chance and more mana hopefully my static orb +

would be enough for clear trash

it is in non empowered mono almost

[robust junco]

Dont get too spread out

[spring crag]

hmm, with this much flat slam do you think changing to firestarter torch is better?

[robust junco]

Brand is an ailment

Its doesnt scale with Flat Spell or Inc Spell Dmg for exemple

[short peak]

what

[robust junco]

And it doesnt scale with Mana

[short peak]

ohhh

anyway all it wants is some shock chance

[robust junco]

So you are going to be trying to stack too many things at once

[spring crag]

this is a lot of flat that I don't think the flat from traitor's tongue is matter

[short peak]

it felt quite free

like a shock chance affix on wand

I doubt it would work on shock chance with skills

[robust junco]

That take space on your gear you could use for smth else

[short peak]

true

[robust junco]

Correct, it doesnt

Last I checked

[short peak]

so I got to empowered mono and I can't do it yet 2 maps 2 deaths

i'll get bakc in normal one

[robust junco]

For exemple on your wand, lets assume you get a 2lp

What do you slam ?
Inc Ele Dot and Mana ?
Mana / Shock ?
Mana/Pen ?

[short peak]

elemental damage over time goated mana

that'"s all

[robust junco]

Then you dont really get Shock Chance,

See where this is going

[short peak]

well for a third lp

would be nice

can't be too picky right now

[robust junco]

But then why not Pen ?

Yeah sure

[short peak]

pen is a prefix right

[robust junco]

Nope

Suffix

[short peak]

then penetration

ele dot mana / shock and pen

sounds good

[robust junco]

Dont get me wrong, its nice too apply the brand because of all the passives
But unless you go all in on it (which is a fine build) I would even consider its dmg

[short peak]

it's mostly used for clearing, trying to get the biggest bang for my money for little invesstment

maybe it would be useless later on

right now I got destroyed by empowered mono lol

the switch is always so brutal for me

[short peak]

thank u

@robust juncocan you think of important uniques I need ?

I know unique ring that give me ele dmg and res while channeling

the bone helmet

im gonna slam it now

my wand is crucial

I have a 3 lp potion health to ward unique belt

im gonna slam it and use it later

[desert steppe]

get your blessingsss

[short peak]

yes I died two time to my newly empowered mono

so I'll try to farm normal one for a bit

[short peak]

do you really think it's a good unique ?

[robust junco]

It has Mana, Flat Spell and make you almost stun immune on a class that generally doesnt have that much hp

Its a nice start

I would slam it with Mana or Ele DoT

[short peak]

I can slam it and corruption

or is it too risky

[robust junco]

The one you got is really nice too

I would slam and corrupt

Worst case scenario > you dont get an upgrade

[robust junco]

Chain of Uleros ?

[short peak]

yes

[robust junco]

[short peak]

is it good ?

😎 it seem to be good

from the reaction

[short peak]

I can use atrophy gloves later

it give me dot pen

[robust junco]

Yup

[robust junco]

Its pretty nice yeah

3lp is nice too

[short peak]

too bad I need shock

[robust junco]

Can get %Inc Lightning/%Ele Dot/%Necrotic Res

[short peak]

could have been nice

[robust junco]

Do you have Lightning Shred somewhere too ?

[short peak]

no

[robust junco]

And isnt Disintegrate already applying Shock ?

Then I feel like this is a positive

[short peak]

nah because i won't apply shock then

I need to ramp to apply it

im forced to use glyph before disintegrate

also

don't think it can go together

I have this

it would be cool though

[short peak]

@robust junco should I usez this mod ?

[robust junco]

Meh, it's the kind of mod you want to build your defense around

[spring crag]

@proven haven so for ignite meteor

for general purpose do you recommend using throne of ambition?

also for mana issue, we must have the weaver affix "chance not to consume potion when using potion" right?

[short peak]

it's just that my life poool is kinda useless if i get enough dmg that I it goes down

i won't last

im probably gonna die soon

even if i manage to dodge and tempo a bit

[proven haven]

Throne is fine for ignite but not great for oneshot due to ramp time. Also ignite duration important for oneshot, but not for regular gameplay. Yes you want potion stuff, the idol altar affix seems to be broken though, the one giving bonus weaver with corrupt idol limit

[sour basalt]

Bugged mechanics? In last epoch? Savage.

[short peak]

@robust junco

I prefer this ring i think

😎

[robust junco]

Nice combo indeed

[short peak]

how important is ward decay treshold ?

[unborn hamlet]

The more ward decay threshold you got the slower the ward you generate decays overall meaning you can get higher maximum ward, and also higher baseline ward shield if you're doing nothing

It's a good stat but not good enough to sacrifice dmg over it,

[short peak]

do you know if I can get backl a ring I put in the weaver tree ?

[unborn hamlet]

You have the ring

You only "paste" it there

You can't take it out cos you never used the ring to slot it in the first place

[short peak]

oh i thought it was gone

phew

bad perk of having a messy inventory

[unborn hamlet]

Yea you basically just put in a copy of it

[sour basalt]

It does disappear for a split second from your inventory if you drag it after opening the weaver tree from inv 😄

[desert steppe]

how long has this been like this lol

[robust junco]

What skill?

I feel like that's fine anyway, since you can use the node bottom right

2/3

There are a few cases like this
They want you to go one way not the other

[desert steppe]

static

still, why even have the line if it's impossible to go through

[robust junco]

You can go through, but not from this side

[desert steppe]

ah

[unborn hamlet]

Pepega moment my bro

It's fine we all do that sometimes

[desert steppe]

[short peak]

what's a heretical idol ?

[umbral perch]

Class specific idol that had been enchanted

[short peak]

like these

nice

I miss two blessings

still didn't find an exalted belt to slam on my 3 lp, nor the unique body armour

[short peak]

is there any mages that ever tried to use some dodge ?

[proven haven]

Yes. Reowyn fortress builds get great benefit from triggering runic with flame rush (channeled).

[short peak]

reowyn is this the defenssive runic invocation ?

[proven haven]

The staff

[short peak]

totally not applicable to me

I see

@proven haven thx again for your defenses advices

iml stacking as many ward per second as I can

with some treshold and retention

not crazy but way better

than before

[proven haven]

Dodge mage is possible but there aren't that many synergies. Getting dodge often has high opportunity cost outside some really niche combos

[harsh abyss]

The best dodge synergy is channeling with Telfun's Mirage 🤷‍♀️

Or maybe Foot of the Mountain + Wall of Nothing tech, which I've always wanted to make work

With the new corruptions, I think you can get over 100% endurance threshold as ward decay threshold

[short peak]

tbh Im not very used to set up defense in this game so I just stack ward per second

and get some retention and treshold

where i can get those

if im channeling and standing on glyph of dominion I can get up to 5K7 ward

if I do nothing 3K2

100 corruption will be my limit xD

first time my self made build can do 100 corruption

😎

[harsh abyss]

Hey, next time you come back maybe you'll figure out a few things to tweak and push it further, that's how self building goes.

Mage defenses are also pretty bad compared to most other classes

[short peak]

can I show u what i did

so far

maybe you'(ll have a 'you need this unique if you do this"

kind of idea

[harsh abyss]

I dunno why, and someone would have to chekc. I feel like "Damage taken from mana before health" just... doesn't work sometimes. I'll take a big hit that kills me and my mana is still full.

Yeah, feel free to share in channel here, there are lots of veterans of mage playing here.

[short peak]

if you scroll up it's there actually

i shared it just earlier

im dumb

[harsh abyss]

Ah, I can take a quick look

[unborn hamlet]

If the hit is too heavy it just bypasses your entire mana pool and kills you, no need to remove mana from you since you're dead

Also depends on your dmg to mana conversion %

If you say, convert only 80% from a 10k hit, and you can survive taking 8k to mana, it's fine, but if that 2k that went to your HP is more than the HP you have you die anyway

Accounting for all dmg reductions

Just 10k raw dmg

[harsh abyss]

Yeah that's the thing. By the numbers I see, which aren't all of them because you just see the last hit, it SHOULDN'T have killed me.

So it's a bit hard to tell

[unborn hamlet]

Reductions are "additive" from the number you received,

And I don't know the order for that

Say you take 100k Phys dmg, you reduce by 75% defense, now you take 25k, that you reduce with armour by 60% now you take 11k, then you got -10% from SW, now you take 9.5k and so on

So the final dmg to you is 9k

Mana pool of 3k required to mitigate to 0

Say you got 1k mana

So you only mitigate 3k

You got 3k HP

So you die to overkill of 3k dmg

Something around these lines

Then there is endurance and other stuff at play

Generally speaking you want 60% was it? Endurance for any build you play

[short peak]

would I want endurance on my 1K life 5k ward mage ?

[unborn hamlet]

You want endurance on everything as I said

[short peak]

it felt weird

[unborn hamlet]

As much as you can get without sacrificing stats you actually need

[short peak]

that's why i wanted to double check

[harsh abyss]

Okay, here's the first thing I see: You need more mana.

You're stacking lightning Disintegrate, AND Static Orb which both scale with max mana. You need to get something like ~500 mana before that node isn't nerfing your damage. And it's also the BEST source of More damage you can get by stacking.

Things you should look for:
-Grand Idols that give +flat mana / +%mana/armor
-Ornate Idols that are +%mana/armor (10% or higher)
-1x1 weaver idols with affixes that give +mana

Uniques:
-Slam Atrophy with T7 mana
-Get Telfun's Mirage or Foot of the Mountain, slam with +Int or +movespeed (or both)
-Get Stormcarved Testament (Farmable off Lagon), slam with +Disintegrate and/or +Mana (Prefer Disintegrate, etc.
-Unstable Core, Slam with T7 flat spell damage while channeling or +mana
-Orian's Eye (Rare random drop but very good) slammed with T7 mana
-Ignivar's Head is pretty decent if you have ANY amount of crit chance increase. The More damage isn't just more Fire damage, and if you scale your crit up pretty decently it's one of the best damage affixes.

I'm not sure if your helmet is the best, you might bet better off with a Seed of Ekkidrasil and some %damage taken as mana before health, but I'm not totally sure.

[short peak]

👀

wow

I like my wand a lot before my build felt like crap but if it's white mob or maybe even blue one I can litterally kill them with evade

so I incorporated static orb in the build

[harsh abyss]

Your wand is totally fine

[short peak]

but you're right it works with mana

both

[harsh abyss]

Yeah there's some good synergy there. More mana is your best stat available

[short peak]

ignivar head I got a +2

somewhere

[harsh abyss]

Also, since you're a Runemaster, you have access to "Cerulean Runestones" passive, which gives you 30% max mana as endurance threshold, which is gold

[short peak]

would I be better off as sorcerer ?

[harsh abyss]

Your entire health pool will be covered by your endurance threshold, which if you get max endurance (which you'd get with Foot of the Mountain pretty easy), it's basically 60% less damage taken from your health, more than doubling your health pool if your ward gets chewed through

[short peak]

I went runemaster because of

[harsh abyss]

Maybe? It's debatable. Glyph of Dominion is a LOT of defense, and extra damage for your disintegrate, yeah

[short peak]

and glyph give lot of ward

[harsh abyss]

And the RM tree has Brand of Deception and Order's Imposition, which is a lot more DoT damage on the tree

Sorcerer will get more mana, the RM passive tree has:
8% More
12% More
12% More
7% More, which is a lot combined.

[short peak]

I liked these it gives some defense aqgainst lot of little hit

[harsh abyss]

Those 4 multipliers are effectively 44% more damage, which is pretty huge actually

[short peak]

i was trying to farm those

lol

i'll change boots target now

[harsh abyss]

Transient rest is also pretty good with mana stacking. 50% current mana every 2 seconds when you have like 3k mana is effectively 750 ward/sec

[short peak]

first i need to remake the loot filter and check what the uniques you spoke about

Idk half of thelm

shock chance big for brand deception

100% shock is 600% more brand dmg

[harsh abyss]

Also Lighting Penetration is more damage, and there's a lot of mana on the item to start

It's a good, easily farmable relic

[short peak]

I checked when i put atrophy i get 20% more dmg

eyeballing it

on tooltip

[harsh abyss]

BUT once you get your idols set up with good rolls on the %mana stuff, a good relic for you would be the primal one: Reliquary Nest.
If you have 3 ornate and 2 Grand idols with max rolls, you can get

52% max mana from your idols to start, and Reliquary Nest gives them 60% increased effect, which means you're getting another 31% max mana

[short peak]

big

mana

[harsh abyss]

Big mana, especially if you hit a max roll and slap T7 mana on it

[short peak]

ik which idols even roll mana%

i found this with omen I felt it was cracked

so much ward

[harsh abyss]

Grand (3x1) Prefix rolls flat mana, suffix rolls %mana/armor
Ornate (4x1) suffix rolls %mana/armor with a larger roll

[short peak]

for now i'll ask for any idol

with this

should be good enough

[harsh abyss]

Yeah, I highlight that and check every one's rolls and prefixes to see if they're decent

Best one I've gotten so far this league:

[short peak]

wow srong

[harsh abyss]

Yeah, if you get a prophesized altar, you'll end up with something that looks kinda like this:

[short peak]

I like this affix on bopdy armour

I wonder if better than mana

@harsh abyss helmet mana better than static orb level ?

[harsh abyss]

Maybe? Kinda unsure, tbh, you'd have to play around with it. Mana buffs both your main skills, which makes me feel like it's better.

[short peak]

belt i was gonna use

i just needed to find a good exalted

[harsh abyss]

Yeah, gotta find that T7 Ele Dot, and then get good defensive suffixes and lightning damage

[short peak]

i was gonna try to get ele dot reduce crit dmg and whatever

some res I need

[harsh abyss]

Another affix you can look for on your relic that's amazing is "all resists while channeling"

T7 is basically "You don't need resists anywhere else (as long as you're always channeling)"

[short peak]

@harsh abyssThank you so much

I was a bit lost and not sure I should commit to full mana

I just wanted to get a little bit of it

[harsh abyss]

Yeah, since you're using both Sorb and Disintegrate it definitely makes sense to combo them

[short peak]

what do you think are my priority

like most important thing I need to use my prophecy on

I wait to be lvl 10 cof before farming a L1 atrophy

im hesitating between farming amulet or body armour

im so motivated let's go

[harsh abyss]

Amulet is super rare, so I'd prioritize that one low. Body armor is VERY good, so that's a good option to shoot for

But idols are where I'd start. They're a pain to farm naturally

You can drop HUNDREDS of idols and not get a good grand idol with the right prefix, suffix, and good roll.

[short peak]

I need to farm cemetary or just prohpecy?

[harsh abyss]

Just prophecy for idols I think

I'd also try to farm exalted for the slots you have the items for already. If you already have a 1lp Atrophy, for example, try and farm exalted gloves to get that T7 mana affix

Make sure you slot the weaver points for the dungeon mobs to spawn in your monliths. If you do that, you'll get 1-3LP foot of the mountain pretty quick

[short peak]

omg there is such a thing

[harsh abyss]

Yep

[short peak]

no idea what people do in this lol

[harsh abyss]

Any time you see the amber elementals, kill them all

[short peak]

I just run the to the item slots

[harsh abyss]

Here's what mine looks like currently:

[short peak]

what did you think of my passive tree

😮

i know it's popular

too bad i don't need

[harsh abyss]

Yeah, it's not useful for this build, but it's good for sure.

Your passive tree looks good mostly. I'd remove everything from Quintessence of Triumph, it's not a very good node. You'll probably also want Decree of the Burning Wind eventually, since that's 1% more damage per point

[short peak]

how can this be bad

I guess im not sure how much hp mobs have

[harsh abyss]

If your target has less health than your ward, they're going to die instantly anyway

That threshold bonus is basically never active when it matters

If things have that low health, you'll delete them without 7% more damage without any issue

And plus. For 7 points, you can just get 7% more overall spell damage to everything always with Decree of the Burning Wind

[short peak]

for this i would need to put the point in the runic tree

and get a fire ability on my bar

which is ine I have one slot useless

[harsh abyss]

Nope

You get the 8% damage, you just don't get the EXTRA 8% damage for having a Rah Rune or Frost Wall passthrough

You don't need to go for that extra 8%

[short peak]

oh I see

[short peak]

my runic tree is mostly useless

half the point are good

the rest it's whatever

so I can do it

[harsh abyss]

Actually, there's some good synergy in the RI tree that you're going to get from mana stacking

Look at Scrivner's Haste. Every time you gain a rune, you'll get 30% your max mana as ward

Which is obviously gonna be great

[short peak]

nice

yes I got it already

[harsh abyss]

But yeah if you're not too worried about your runes, no reason not to slap a fire skill on your bar

[short peak]

let's go

[harsh abyss]

12 less ward/sec for 8% more damage is a pretty reasonable tradeoff

Oh also Rune Slinger gives you 15% current mana as ward when you cast it, so there's more mana stacking synergy

Man, Runemaster has more mana stacking synergies than Sorcerer, lol

[short peak]

whats rune slinger

oh this point

[short peak]

yeah

[harsh abyss]

You already have it

So if you can get up to 2000 or so mana, that'll be 300 ward every time you cast, and then 600 every time you gain a rune

Pretty solid

[short peak]

i thought rune slinger was a random invocaiton

that gave me ward

I know there are many of them

[harsh abyss]

you might want to check what invocations happen when you change one of your runes to fire

[short peak]

im doing this as we speak

funy

[harsh abyss]

huh, not bad

[short peak]

you have two rune invocation

but idk how you make them works

[harsh abyss]

honestly, I just wouldn't worry about them

Just use RI as your movement skill and whatever happens happens

Unfortunately with the way that RI works, it's kind of difficult to build around intentionally without using uniques.

[short peak]

im rushing the all resistance blessing

then I can get blessings for items drops

maybe or do boss farm

I should start getting atrophy or lagoon

relic

the fire relic is good also you said

I hate this though having this shitty relic

all fire dmg

xD

not asmr at all to put it on me

[short peak]

are there any mana ring

or I slam this one soon

[harsh abyss]

There aren't a lot of really amazing ones, but there a few that are decent. For a glyph of dominion + channeling build, Liath is very good

[short peak]

wait 😮 runic invocation it make me dash away give me 3- 4s of haste then hit it as lightning in aoe around but the circle move with me and it cost enough mana to proc brand of deception

well it should

idk if it ever proc

it made my travel skill very goated

to move around

[harsh abyss]

Yeah, it proccing the brand is just a nice bonus

[short peak]

@harsh abysscazn you show your big omen tablet idol

or whatever the name is

I want to know what kind of modifier it has

my first mana idols ❤️

got two of them, another 9%

[harsh abyss]

The altar itself is junk because it only has one refracted slot, but it's a prophesied

If you can get a pyramid altar that has "Increased Effect of Suffixes" and/or "Increased effect of prefixes and suffixes" at T7, that's the best thing you can find I think. Maybe also "more omen idol capacity" so you can get truly perfect idols, but GOOOOOOOD luck doing that.

[short peak]

okay I get im looking for more effect of suffix

[rose cobalt]

Innate conduit (Lightning Blast) only disable chain when out of mana or it disable for all cast?

[nimble shoal]

Only when out of mana

[robust junco]

Does proccing Volcanic Orb with the new set ring uses mana ?

[vivid wedge]

80% of cost yeah

[robust junco]

Ah yeah thx

Wasn't seeing clearly this morning

[whole jackal]

does brutality also affect subskill like icicles from shatterstrike?

[robust junco]

Should yes

[whole jackal]

so when I use a brutality/madness exulis with cleaver solution and stack STR that should yield quite some dmg no?

[desert steppe]

yes, it's just going to be a bit of a pain to get the defenses up

no armor, no leech, no ward

[whole jackal]

well leech would come from sorc tree, no?

no armor is troublesome admittedly

[desert steppe]

brutality will cut down most of your leech

[whole jackal]

ah true

i keep forgetting about that part

[desert steppe]

just one of the two seem much more manageable tho

get damage from one of them and get lots of defense for free from the other

[whole jackal]

pieced something together and kinda works

tested 2 echos on 550 corr and survivability was fine cuz I have screenwide clear

up to 3m per icicle at dummy

[robust junco]

Oo

[whole jackal]

I can see some potential here, since we can also use the vilatria set helmet for the spell lightning damage per int

[sudden kettle]

It used to be icicle build used frostbite shackles

I don't like issth anymore

I prefer all his other novels much more

[short peak]

gif not showing

bad

[short peak]

🥀 HOW

renegade immortal is my favourite

less humour, very serious

quite dark

and is the one that made him famous

for good reason

[desert steppe]

can't read too many stuff at the same time, so issth was my intro to his work

and everyone said RI was often very depressing so I though, yeah maybe I'll skip

[short peak]

nah it's fine

[desert steppe]

also I think at that time it was being retranslated or something

[short peak]

it's just emotional a time

solitude of the mc

but it's not that depressing

I mean I love it

[short peak]

now it has been fully translated by the best translator

the same one that made ISSTH

same with A WILL eternal

peak humour

imagine issth humour but on steroid

it's one of my favorite

too

[desert steppe]
