[raw elm]

if it's right then I am learning his excel

[wise leaf]

nah just doing it effectively manually rofl

is what vlad is saying

[high stratus]

you need to know how many maelstrom stacks you'll have

then it's pretty easy

[safe crescent]

Maelstrom with Yulia boots or Frenzy Totem? which is better for EQ Bear or Sabretooth for you sirs

only had 1 lp Yulia boots tho

[wise leaf]

definitely think yulia boots scales higher

[candid topaz]

People like you are going to get this removed.

[narrow zephyr]

i dont get whats so good about it...i thought i get 4 more companions but each has to be a different type? something i dont get?

[winged swallow]

Geez greater omen windows are PURE chaos

non-stop champions, rares, mini-bosses. it was crazy

[wise leaf]

corruption breaks the "if this is your only equipped unique idol" restriction and lets you stack it, then you take the frog helmet which gives you frogs for each unused companion slot

so you can get +16 frogs or some shit

[narrow zephyr]

ahhh!

no need for frogs gimme 16 bears or scorps lol

[safe crescent]

16 nose candy bears will be too much for anybody lol

[near leaf]

You know me too well

[raw elm]

hmm, I manually calculated it and it's 82% chance

Do I need to max out it at 100% ?

[wise leaf]

Generally very good to

[raw elm]

very good to max out it right? sorry still learning english

[near leaf]

It's better to max it out

82%'is already pretty good

[raw elm]

okay thanks, btw is there any recommended Unique weapon for Cold,Spell,Hit build?

[near leaf]

Since you play Storm Bolts and you can get a lot of Flat from attunement, I recommand mad ladle

[raw elm]

that unique which look like a dirty spoon?

[near leaf]

Yup

[fresh holly]

does glacial cascade in upheaval change physcal to cold damage on sundering strike's shockwave?

[tardy frost]

the totem detonation? yeah

[fresh holly]

this one

[near leaf]

Yes

[fresh holly]

ty

[narrow zephyr]

any trick to stack storm stacks? can hardly get more than 10 🙁

with stormbreaker

[raw elm]

is this game have the same concept that build that have fast clear and tank should have low dmg for bosses if not heavily invest in it?

[long totem]

You spec the 24% chance to gain a stack instead of losing one?

[narrow zephyr]

prolly not, thats in Gathering Storm tree?

[long totem]

Yeah, super important for stacking

[void depot]

hey, i'm still following the beastmaster levelling guide from maxroll, and i don't understand why they spec Swipe the way they do. Can someone help me understand why they take saberstooth endurance and twin fangs if we are using bear and not dual wielding?

[near leaf]

Less frequency idols can be good too

[mossy coral]

Attack speed, probably tempest strike instead of hitting with gathering storm, less frequency of idols, chance to gain a stack in gathering storm tree when expending

[near leaf]

Because your bear use Swipe too and will benefit from the buffs

[void depot]

by the gods you're right

[narrow zephyr]

Yea seen those...i want to try upheaval/earthquake no need for strm bolts but you cant disable them can you?

[void depot]

i really should have thought of that :sob

[glossy wind]

What is the max number of frogs that you can get? I can't seem to get above 7 but I see videos of people with 11. I have the hat and idol, using the spec with cleave/warcry/frenzy/wolf/leap. Any help would be greatly appreciated

[mossy coral]

You have the idol?

[long totem]

If you corrupted the idol you broke it, you can stack the idols via corrupt ONLY if you have 1 non-corrupted one equipoed

[glossy wind]

Oh shit, really? Corrupting breaks it?

That would explain it

[long totem]

Unless you have exactly one non-corrupt version as well

Then it stacks

[mossy coral]

It's a bug though and will be fixed soon

[near leaf]

At the same time as Swipe, Tornado and Emperor of Corpse

[mossy coral]

What's with corpse?

[near leaf]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Afl4j8CSk_M?feature=share

[near leaf]

He got the tsunami buff Scorpion didn't 🦂

[mossy coral]

Lmaooo

I've honestly never seen him move, didn't think that would be possible

[winter ivy]

We used to be able to push the boss around. Was goofy as hell

[mossy coral]

I think the bug is the boss moving not the explosion cause that's probably meant to be at the center, still crazy how the animation isn't tied to the skill once again #Tornado

[next cloak]

I'll just leave this here.

[near leaf]

Apparently there is another bug where the dmg scale with the distance to the boss

Close 0 dmg
Far away full dmg

[mossy coral]

Hahaha, crazy

[near leaf]

https://youtu.be/twd7FOaqNYY?si=5ojbVlMXWlauIvHM

[mossy coral]

Crazy stuff, also marksman with 4k health holy

[near leaf]

Did you see the new stats stuff in LE tools catzy?

Character stats

Season start 💀
7h30 gaming session

Bro that's supposed to be a secret

[mossy coral]

Yeah they didn't want to reveal that stuff

[winter ivy]

i saw it, it's a cool feature

[vapid canopy]

Where can I find that on LE tools? I seem to be blind.
Nvm found it

[winter ivy]

Character profile shows it at the bottom

[near leaf]

Character profile

At the bottom

[vapid canopy]

38 hrs on my druid (lvl 92)

And my rogue 24 hrs (lvl 94)

Considering I played the the rogue first and leveld the druid second this is quite the difference time wise ...

[shut laurel]

this is my life now

one day I'll get the two affixes

[near leaf]

You have to farm the triple omen to get the boss echo?

Or is there another way after?

[mossy coral]

In quest echo, what!

[crude cosmos]

12 minutes to get to level 68?!

[shut laurel]

yes... it's a process

best time efficient way to get altars at least

still waiting to get a better one

btw I'm thinking of making build guide eventually with your help

[near leaf]

Must have been the "session"

[shut laurel]

want to reach the gearing point I set myself and then go uber abby

[near leaf]

I probably disconnected and logged back it

Character was played for 7h30

[shut laurel]

@near leaf how's your progress so far?

[tawny spoke]

Ok guys listen I'll try to cook low life primalist with astral blood

And cleaver solution

[mossy coral]

This game holy moly

Wait, it migh be because that affix doesn't exist

[near leaf]

It's a shame to convert Str to int and get a ton of ward ret when you add a cap on your ward imo

[mossy coral]

Ah yesssss, removal removed the t6

[near leaf]

Classic

[mossy coral]

And again, epic

[near leaf]

Slow and steady
Lvl 86
Build feels so good

I am enjoying it so much

About to start climbing corruption

[tawny spoke]

Can you explain wdym

Why it's a shame to get more ward retention if I use astral blood

[mossy coral]

You don't need ward ret when using that body armor

[shut laurel]

embrace the madness

[winged swallow]

Man my luck this season is rock bottom....lvl 72 not a single aftershock idol yet

all skills lvl 19.... two of them currently not being used

[near leaf]

Astral blood limits how much you ward you can get. A hard limit
You don't really need any investment in Ward Ret to reach that limit

The limit is a "downside"
The upside is the hp drain and missing hp to ward numbers are huge. If you compare to Exsanguinous, it's double

Meaning you probably can reach the cap (2.5 times your max hp) with astral blood alone, or if you have a big hp pool add a bit more ward generation

Like experimental affix on gloves

[mellow kestrel]

What build you trying to do?

Wow that’s cool

[unreal field]

Issue with your filters maybe? Mine started dropping mid 70s, now I have 4 at 78 - so hang in there. But I also used my first favor to target farm them in COF.

[winged swallow]

I don't use a filter until lvl 90+ as I don't need that level of optimization yet. I've been looking at each idol. Just no luck

[winged swallow]

Physical melee GS

GS for maelstrom, mana generation, and armor shred. Maelstrom for global physical, haste, and frenzy. Aftershock idols for damg and boulder generation. Boulders for EQ procs. Warcry for berserk, maelstrom stacks, and pull in. While scaling physical

[ornate scroll]

sounds cool

[long totem]

Behold, my slop Maelstrom build

[devout cypress]

i just take the blessing and toss a 30% roll on a ring

[candid topaz]

Incoming frog nerf 🙁

[mellow kestrel]

GS?

[signal thorn]

I think the issue now isn’t damage but that you need to be like right next to the enemies for them to die which kinda kills the clear

I may be wrong about this as no one’s actually made a video about this build for season 4, I’m basing this off info I found on reddit

I’m not looking for like multi screen coverage but screen coverage is kind of what I’d want to settle with

[near leaf]

That's fine

At least I think it's

I found that build pretty stupid anyway but that's just me

[signal thorn]

I just wanted to try it because reflect/thorns as an archetype is essentially nonexistent in PoE which is my main arpg lol

[devout cypress]

max area maybe?

[signal thorn]

I’m not sure what you mean but the damage falloff isn’t scalable

It’s a line on the unique body armor the build uses

[shut laurel]

@near leaf holy weapon

should be illegal

I still have 2 other 3lp palarus but I think I'm done

[crude cosmos]

Holy moly

Spicy

[tawny spoke]

how did this happen?

[mossy coral]

It did exactly 54 dmg and you had 54 hp left?

[safe crescent]

Is the Land Before uni idol bugged? my maximum companion doesnt increase for some reason, trying to get more frogs

[long totem]

Did you corrupt it?

[safe crescent]

yes

[long totem]

If so do you have a non corrupt one equipped

[safe crescent]

none sadly

[long totem]

Needs exactly one non corrupt version equipped to work

The corrupted ones will stack effect since they're no longer unique

This will almost certainly be patched

[tardy frost]

yea as said they fixed it to work as written, its text requires it to be the only unique idol equipped and if it is corrupted then it's no longer unique

at least people used to run a few corrupted versions fine before the last hotfix

[near leaf]

!!!

Bro

I need to see if I can get you banned

[dusky cedar]

did they change something with aspect of the shark? didnt it say it applys to your companions before because i cant see anything like that in the passive tree

[shut laurel]

after that I bricked 2 pretty decent laup's so you know there is justice

since that outcome is really low chance

corrupted this earlier I didn't even know it was an outcome I'm sure it can be abused somewhere

like as an extra suffix somewhere

[winter ivy]

Interesting... I wonder if that'd work for the Sorcerer passive that convers armor shred into frostbite. I'm not sure what the order of conversions is

[long totem]

Phys maelstrom loved that

[crude cosmos]

I’m trying to find the new idol configurations on LE tools. Is there a list of them with their buffs? I’m trying to find one that could help boost chance of avalanche boulders dropping

[sly bobcat]

i was about to ask if that's even legal

[crude cosmos]

Nvm found them!

[subtle lodge]

Crazy

[sly bobcat]

funny enough, this is the reason that GGG doesn't want to give this kind of info in a death recap. it's a dumb argument because these times are far more rare than when you get blasted for like 5k and find out you weren't actually crit immune

[subtle lodge]

@mortal elbow You said you had 21 Frogs on your build, how on Earth did you get 21 Frogs? XD

[tawny spoke]

You don't get it bro I just enter that area and it killed me without any monsters hitting me that's the point

[subtle lodge]

Did you have a damage over time from a skill of yours or something?

[sly bobcat]

my guesses:
You were low on life and got hit by mobs that hadn't loaded on your screen yet
Some kind of self damage was interpreted as melee attack
Aneurysm

[crude cosmos]

My guess: stealth tornado

[mortal elbow]

well well well

[narrow zephyr]

does it only work for frogs? bees? Raptors?

gimme 16 raptors please 😂

[candid topaz]

Sadly they will be removing the fun soon don't worry. But bet swipe will still be bugged

Prio to remove fun before actually fixing things

[sly bobcat]

tbh I want to see an actual companion build use that idol instead of frogs

it's a cool concept but there's like no way to make a full zoo good

[hidden plume]

Maybe they will add new unique that rolls random companion and add new power to that minion based on how many +x companions you can get?

[sly bobcat]

nah i'd rather them make a full zoo build viable first

[crude cosmos]

So I might be wrong here but with this setup and the right buffs to prefixes, you can get chance to cast boulder to about 78% using average rolls.

[winter ivy]

You'd still be limited to 3/s right? A single affix on a omen idol and refracted would probably be way more than enough

[mortal elbow]

i dont know how bees work

[mortal elbow]

gonna be more tanky then again so im not mad about it xD

[crude cosmos]

Yes still 3/s you are right

What is an omen idol? 🙂

[winter ivy]

You could use a regular one, the diff being space used is all. But you'd probably cap out with just the one

[subtle lodge]

Ah okay, I know how now

I love that Maxroll says "we don't know if this is a bug yet" when it is so obviously a bug lol

[crude cosmos]

Is omen idol same as heretical idol?

[subtle lodge]

No

Omen is Omen, Heretical is Heretical

[winter ivy]

They're the new idols that drop corrupted from Omens.

they're 1x3 or 3x1, but they can have any 2x2, 1x4, 4x1 affix on them. Quite strong, but altars are limited to one without the extra omen idols affix

[crude cosmos]

Ohh! Ok sorry I didn’t know about that. So you could get the same prefix but on a smaller idol. But in either case you think it could be enough with a single idol and enough cast speed

[winter ivy]

In theory you could get something like this. It'd be corrupted too. Hunting for a single-affix omen idol isn't too bad, but the drop table seems to be mostly class specific, so you'll need to farm with the right class

[crude cosmos]

Ok very cool. And then with a prefix on the idol board for +% affix effect I guess

[candid topaz]

See but that's the thing. It's not like it's the best solution because once you get up to high corruption you have to drop them anyway. Might as well let us keep them

[subtle lodge]

I just tried the 21 Frog trick and it didn't work

Sadge

[sly bobcat]

i didn't see any patch notes about it

should just be corrupt 3 of them and use a normal one

[hidden plume]

What is the best defense shield for primalist? Countenance of Majasa? Im leveling second primalist to try upheval totems. Onslaught of Cerata is tempting for +4 to upheval.

[karmic bison]

If you all see anything that could be a bug please report it in game!

[candid topaz]

Not really a bug but a overlooked feature

[candid topaz]

Wouldn't put it past them to hurry and stealth fix the fun and drag their feet on actual game ruining bugs.

[subtle lodge]

I did that and it didn't work, idk what to say XD

No fun allowed

[signal swan]

I hope they let it stay. I haven't played this season yet, but I definitely would for 21 frog mayhem.

[candid topaz]

Dang I was just joking but if they did stealth fix it that is kinda lame. Atleast be man about it and tell us in the patch notes

[candid topaz]

Already confirmed to be fixed because it's fun

[signal swan]

By more than just Parry? As much as I trust him, I'd like more than one person to confirm it.

[candid topaz]

The devs already confirmed in a stream

That it will be fixed

[narrow zephyr]

Asked mr gpt to analyze the patch notes....idk...that true?

[earnest junco]

dude corrupted the patch notes

[narrow zephyr]

i mean its right that lots of nodes didn't work but also i can't see many notes about them being fixed

[karmic bison]

Dont trust a.i to do your analysis! Lol

[patent dock]

It's total nonsense. But funny.

[mossy coral]

But tempest interactions!!!! Think of all the interactions

[patent dock]

I feel so interacted just thinking about all the tempests

[fast flame]

i'm annoyed at how powerful crows are with almost zero gear investment

such a great league starter build

[near leaf]

Maybe after the 3rd Shaman rework and the 5th Tempest Strike revamp we will be able to interact with Tempests

[mellow kestrel]

Tempest totems are still absolute garbage right

Also what coruption have you gotten to with storm totems

Totem*

[winter ivy]

Ice Thorns is gonna make a comeback

[devout cypress]

if earthquake is converted to lightning, are the aftershocks also converted to lightning?

[winter ivy]

they should be converted

[quiet hull]

is there a way you can check builds of people on ladder ?

[mellow kestrel]

I asked this last night, everyone said yes even though aftershock tooltip doesn’t get lightning tag

It should

[winter ivy]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/ladders/
You can just click on them

[devout cypress]

heres hoping lol, worst case i retool to not use aftershocks at all

[quiet hull]

thanks !

[mellow kestrel]

Are ur aftershocks hittin hard? I struggle to make them do dmg

[shut laurel]

• Tempest Strike is now two separate skills: Tempest and Strike (Swipe as been removed)

after the rogue rework anything is possible

[cinder moat]

Just let me see how much damage tempests do on the tree like I can for storm bolts on gathering storm. It is infuriating that it is blank when hovering the 3 skills in the top left of the tree

[patent dock]

I will mark it on my calendar for 2034

[winter ivy]

Tempest Strike needs melee to spell damage mods... and tempest totems need to not be terrible

[cinder moat]

I honestly have no idea if the base hit from tempest trike also changes element because it looks like they try to incorporate tempests in that tooltip as far as I can tell

[mellow kestrel]

Yea and upheaval totem >.<

[cinder moat]

Don’t forget about the borderline non-existent chance to cast a tempest while shapeshifted.

[patent dock]

Yeah, the melee part matches the tempest type

[winter ivy]

I did forget

we'll get a new item that adds a fire tempest

[patent dock]

tbf, the tooltips would be wildly innaccurate anyway 🥲

[mellow kestrel]

Our 5th skill gonna be volcano or some fire skill watch

[devout cypress]

im trying to use aftershocks to proc avalanch

[patent dock]

Just what we need - now 4 strikes to split your damage even more ways

[cinder moat]

Good. It can replace the physical one that makes it so even %ele is only 2/3 effective

[mellow kestrel]

Oh ok

[devout cypress]

does anyone know if upheaval node in earthquake can proc more boulders?

[winter ivy]

Volcano would be sick... just shootin boulders at things

[patent dock]

It procs the same number of boulders

[devout cypress]

ty

[candid topaz]

Really they should keep it for it would be considered a mid-cycle balance change that they said they would not do. This is technically not a bug for it turns it to a legendary which is by design. So they are going back on their word about fixing mid cycle change. They should remove it next season yes but own up and keep it for this season. Heck, they didn't even bother to touch season 3 bugs until now.

[long totem]

Fixing this without fixing the game breaking unfun bugs first is a bad taste tbh, I'm less concerned with litigating 'is this a balance change or a bug fix' than that point

[candid topaz]

Agree buy with their track record I already know what they will do. Sad because it too until season 3 to fix everything from season 3 and that actually hurt the game imo.

If enough people push back then maybe we can keep it for the season?

I agree it should be fixed bit treat it like all the other mid balances and wait for next season

[high stratus]

tooltips lie all the time

[wise leaf]

You should see how much scorp dishes out on league start when it isn't bugged

[near leaf]

OOF right in the feelings

[patent dock]

😭

[ocean leaf]

Anyone have a good totem build or bee build that can go to higher corruption? I’ve been using a homebrew ice/freeze totem spam and my damage isn’t enough anymore at like 1-200 corruption.

[near leaf]

Frostbite Totems ?

Or Crit Totems ?

[shut laurel]

omen's veil kinda crazy xp even on 100C and also it's self sustaining since you get more than the cost in timeglass fragment

[ocean leaf]

Frostbite is what I running

[shut laurel]

funny how I can struggle at 300+ if I open them all but no issue at 800+ corruption in echoes

[near leaf]

Are you online ?

Wanna share your planner ?

[ocean leaf]

Share my planner? I don’t have one. I can hop in call in a bit tho and do it that way maybe. Do you know or run anything similar?

[near leaf]

I mean your current character

If you are online its really easy to share

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/

[patent dock]

I am running crit cold thorn totems + vines and it's going fine, only just starting to go above 100c though

[ocean leaf]

Yeah that’s where I’m having issues for dmg atm I don’t know if build worth scaling farther or switching

[ocean leaf]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/Hojana/character/Joehan

Does this work. It’s still a WIP

I need to find the uniques and LP to slam but I’m doubtful with even that I can scale high enough. Been tough to find the uniques I need too.

[near leaf]

Hum there are a few problems indeed

But nothing that we cant fix

[mossy coral]

Crafting

[near leaf]

Let me finish my game of LoL and Ill give you a hand

[ocean leaf]

I would prefer to be mainly totem dmg but I don’t know what weapin to use or scale that with the ice dmg but ya thanks fonhelp

@patent dock maybe listen to his advice too XD

[patent dock]

From just a super quick look, the weapon you have isn't helping your minions at all. You would immediately get a big boost from something like reach of the grave (unique wand) or eventually apogee of frozen light (unique 1h sword) with flat minion spell slam

Well the flat minion spell is for hit/crit damage, so if you focus on frostbite, I'd have to think about it... I think you can slam minion DOT on apogee

[sly bobcat]

swords and axes get minion dot iirc

i was planning on doing bleed raptors and minion dot on naal's tooth was part of that

[mossy coral]

Doesn't need spriggan form either

[candid topaz]

I am interested in this build. Let me know how it feels

[sly bobcat]

oh that was a while ago. it's probably around worse than crit by a longshot

[devout cypress]

maybe the axe that speeds up the bleed ticks?

[sly bobcat]

if I do get around to it I'll try to remember

nah you can already get that on raptors themselves. no point in having two copies of the effect

[ocean leaf]

It’s more that I’m using that temporarily to farm but it’s not my end game goal. I don’t know the uniques that are best but prob an axe? Do you know

[sly bobcat]

i did bleed saber last season and didn't want to start with minions again this time around

[mossy coral]

reach of the grave (unique wand) or eventually apogee of frozen light (unique 1h sword)
You can use either a random Axe or Sword now and slam Minion spell damage on it

[long totem]

If you run physical you could use an obsidian axe iirc, has minion phys implicit

[shut laurel]

ferebor is also a nice dagger, gives a lot early and fairly common

[long totem]

Side question do normal rift beasts ever drop crystallized hearts

Need one for Xylem

[sly bobcat]

I think you need to specifically enabled crystallized hearts on the weaver tree

[long totem]

K did that so just need to farm and pray

[sly bobcat]

or do the woven echo that has randomly evolved beasts

[long totem]

Need to hit empowered monos first prolly

Which... Might be tricky

Need to find Crit reduction gear, le sigh

[ornate scroll]

i just end up using the bones to buy them kind of a pain for xylem

[long totem]

Yeah I probably will too, just adds an extra hour or two of farm probably

[shut laurel]

abomination (fall of the outcast boss) can drop a 100% crit avoidance body armour, really helpful so you can worry about it later with gear

[mossy coral]

They do but it's almost 0% drop chance, increased if you take the weaver tree and easiest to farm with the woven echo that kills beasts iirc

[sly bobcat]

if you're not on HC just embrace the fact that you might get blasted occasionally and go in without crit reduction

[long totem]

Yeah that's what I've been doing it's okay mostly

Recommendations welcome, currently working on getting Xylem

[ornate scroll]

just had a perfect rolled one of course no LP i put it in egg and i get fire dmg lol

[long totem]

And then farming for good Exalts to round stuff out

For belt maybe go for a 1lp brew master?

Once xylem ofc

[ornate scroll]

I actually like arrons avalanche thats what im reoughly going for

with the automatic spawning totems with the resist node, so you have like 100 resists at all times

yours pretty similar

[sick meteor]

Curious what builds are you gys playing to push corruption and bossing? Not sure what best all around build for 400-500 Corruption and Bossing

[mellow kestrel]

Self casting avalanche. With xylem right

[mellow kestrel]

I know storm totem can go super far

[long totem]

My current build is mostly tsunami with avalanche for single target/burst

[mellow kestrel]

How’s that feeling?

[long totem]

Good I think, if you look at my gear it's a total mishmash of badly kludged together randomness but it still clears solidly and the leech makes it reasonably tanky

Greater omen windows definitely get a little hectic but I don't think that's avoidable tbh

Also tank my fps something fierce -_-

Haven't hit empowered yet but regular 80k screen wide crits from tsunami with bad-ish gear seems pretty darn positive

Avalanche has like 111k tooltip DPS and shreds most bosses too

[mellow kestrel]

I see , yea plus you have a lot of melee stuff as opposed to spell, which would further boost tsunami and avalanche

I think a pure spell set up would go crazy

[near leaf]

Apogee of the frozen light

If you want to do Frostbite totem

You should take the psn/ frostbite nodes

[winged swallow]

Gathering Storm

[near leaf]

I will recommand that you combine it with Werebear

You as a werebear, you maul spawning totems and vines applying frosbite

[sly bobcat]

explode axe is pretty funny during the harkon husk fight. the worms on the side can sometimes spawn trash that has no DR

so they pile on top of harkon or the harbinger and then you crit them for 1m overkill

and they explode on the boss for several million damage instantly

[ocean leaf]

I’ll look into this ..

[near leaf]

Do you want me to make you a rough guideline planner?

[winged swallow]

I have learned that the "Conflux" passive tree node and the "Two Eyed Storm" gathering storm skill tree node. Go completely wild when combined with each other

[fast flame]

I'm playing Storm Crows to push corruption/farm gear, my actual build I want to play is duo lightning wolf. I need one or two more pieces and I can switch, I'm hyped

Has anyone cooked a build using the new fire conversion item for Storm Crows? Looks like a fun timesink

[winged swallow]

Enemies are getting hit by like 12 storm bolts per second. But it is NUKING my mana now thanks to "excited bolts"

so when I get aftershock idols i'm gonna have to spec out of "Two eyed storm" but however....that node gives me a VERY interesting idea for a build

[mellow kestrel]

Pixel Aptitude should have putout a video on that

[ocean leaf]

pleaseeeee

i dont need to stay with freeze totems if the other totems do more dmg somehow

[near leaf]

Trying to make your idea work is the best feeling in the game

You want frostbite totems, we will make them work (with their friends the vines)

[ocean leaf]

i originally wanted to just use that relic to jump and spawn 6 thorn totems but I couldnt survive without spriggan form

like just jump around map and leave totems xd

or also spawna bunch of those forged swords and swarm enemies but both were too squishy

[near leaf]

Are you willing to respecc to Druid ?

[ocean leaf]

for wearbear?

[near leaf]

Yup

[ocean leaf]

ya if i can afford it

but id like to see what the werebear skills are does it have mobility?

[near leaf]

Rampage

Run in a straight line

[devout cypress]

does anyone know the interaction for upheaval totems? If avalanch casts upheaval, does it spawn totem or just cast normal upheaval?

[ocean leaf]

anything that can go over walls?

what does it offer for totems?

[near leaf]

Maul

Small Hop over small walls

[near leaf]

Dmg

And for you a lot of survivability

[ocean leaf]

down to try it

would it be able to do up to corruption 500 or beyond

[near leaf]

I believe so

[patent dock]

It spawns a totem

[devout cypress]

lame

but makes sense, ty

Attunement will give totem Inc Dmg and for Vines Inc dmg and Chance to Frosbite

[ocean leaf]

How do I summon vines, is this a 100% werebear foirm?

[near leaf]

100% Werebear

[ocean leaf]

ohh

[near leaf]

[ocean leaf]

Will this work with Luap's path and maul?

since it uses the leap

or warcry?

omg yes

should I do it evne tho I have none of the uniques u put in guide

[near leaf]

Yes

Thats what I used to lvl my werebear

[ocean leaf]

r u able to fill it with boots and rings and belts or do they not matter

[near leaf]

Ill leave that to you 😄

[ocean leaf]

do i need a specifc idol of any type

[near leaf]

You can go smth tanky with %Hp idols/ crit avoidance

wil i be using basic/m,elle attacks a lot, or do i go for a totem dmg one handed weapon first

until i get what ur recommending

[near leaf]

There is % Inc Dmg like cold or %Dot

[ocean leaf]

ok ill do my best to set this up and report back

this is exciting, ty

[near leaf]

Ill give you one last pointer for ring

i have less popints btw is there anything i should prioritize first in the tree

im missing like 20

[near leaf]

Attunement

Grab attunement

Frostbite chance too

[mossy coral]

What's up with EHG and their 10 second cooldowns

[ocean leaf]

Do you have a filter you reoccmmend btw?

[near leaf]

No, I usually make my own very simple

Like rn it has 6 lines

[near leaf]

👀 traitor

[ocean leaf]

never made my own

ill look into it

Why dont u go into shaman tree for totem dmg and speed?

[near leaf]

Because Vines arent totems

I try to take passives for both

[mossy coral]

Well a lot of things were bricked, rest are too boring for me to enjoy
Doing witchfire and realized you can have primordial affix that makes it bonkers

How bonkers?
YES

[near leaf]

Tell me more

[tardy frost]

t8 sinatra? sintara? sinantra? set

affix

256 flat to curses or some such

[near leaf]

witchfire isnt a spell though ?

[mossy coral]

No, it only scales with damage over time, fire/elemental and specifically increased curse damage when using the relic

[vapid canopy]

Jormuns weapon set is amazing for swipe bear druid. Especially with maxed affixes from rune of corruption

[mossy coral]

yesss the mace

[ocean leaf]

does swipe tree affect swipe in werebear form

[near leaf]

Yes

[ocean leaf]

what are these symbols?

[mossy coral]

It will also get more multipliers from ignite and damned chance, there's a lot to it

[mossy coral]

It displays what element they can be converted to (in the tree)

[sly bobcat]

it's increased curse damage

[lavish scaffold]

damage types, Phys / Cold / Fire etc

[sly bobcat]

you use it with the witchfire relic

[near leaf]

%Minion Dmg

Attunement

[ocean leaf]

I thought vines are melee or do we convert them to cast speed?

[near leaf]

Your dmg comes from the frostbite inflicted by your totems and vines

This allows your vines to pierce

EQ with crows buffing you? 😮

Yup

Interesting

[near leaf]

EQ procced from Upheaval

Because you know flavor

[mossy coral]

Yeah

I like it, just get as much attack speed as you can and for crows

[near leaf]

Storm Breaker can generate a decent amount of stack

I am trying in rn

I thought I could generate a lof of maelstrom though to use Lagon amulet

[mossy coral]

Cast speed for crows might not be easy to get, also their survivability

[near leaf]

Maybe if I remove Upheaval as a trigger

[ocean leaf]

@near leaf is this good

[near leaf]

Its a nice start

[near leaf]

I had no cast speed in my test 😄

[ocean leaf]

or this one?

[near leaf]

I was standing still bonking the dummy though

[near leaf]

I prefer the one with attunement

[near leaf]

And for survivability , str stack + leech on crit should work

[ocean leaf]

in your build guide it says gloves are unique crusader gloves, can I still wear them?

[near leaf]

Yes

Crusader gloves are a type of gloves

There is no class specific gloves

Only Body armor, helmet and relic

[simple harbor]

has anyone done a bee build yet with the new set or is that more of a necro thing?

[near leaf]

I have seen a few

Got a friend doing one rn

[simple harbor]

debating on making that my next build. the new set looks kinda sick

[mossy coral]

Whaaat

Surely that's fully stacked on dummy though, should be way less in reality when moving around I think

[near leaf]

7 crows though

[mossy coral]

Crowstorm is good since they will be teleported when you use it

[near leaf]

Let me tease you

Thats a lot of bleed

[simple harbor]

holy bleed

[ornate scroll]

finally got a decen xylem had to sacrifice like 5 of them

is this using the set with the queen bee?

[charred glen]

Hi all, I have a quick question that I was hoping someone here might have the answer to - Does anyone know if the bleed chance/penetration bonus from the Tusk Warrior node on the Beastmaster passive tree also applies to minions? They get Aspect of the Boar from me via another Beastmaster passive node down the line (Embodiment node) but I can't tell if the bonus from the Tusk Warrior node is actually applying. It kind of seems like it isn't from the training dummies but it is very hard to test/see. Anyone know?

[simple harbor]

I've been gathering a bunch of the set pieces while playing my sent

[near leaf]

To your minions > No
To your companions > Yes

For exemple to your bees > no

To your raptors/Wolves/Saber/Bear > yes

At least it should

[ocean leaf]

what lp stat should i put on my weapon ?

[mossy coral]

Ahhh so beautiful

[near leaf]

%Minion Dot
%Shared Cold Pen

@ocean leaf

[ocean leaf]

I don't want flat spell dmg for minions?

or atk speed?

[near leaf]

Frostbite is an ailment and doesnt scale with any source of Flat Dmg

Attack Speed for who ?

[ocean leaf]

minions

[near leaf]

You ? You arent dealing Dmg

[ocean leaf]

Ill look for minion dot or cold dmg/pen?

[near leaf]

Minions ?

1. It doesnt roll on Swords
2. They are using Spells, so they want Cast Speed

Not Attack Speed

[ocean leaf]

gotcha forgot abut that

but if I move LP it has to come from sword? or cant it come from any piece

what about like flat attunement?

[near leaf]

1h sword to 1h sword

[ocean leaf]

gotcha

[mellow kestrel]

Hahaha this laup path EQ is fun

Aftershock being homing and searching for mobs comming from the my thorn totems

[long totem]

Alright kvetching aside that is nice to see that they're taking that bug seriously and fixing it in a reasonable time frame

[near leaf]

Lets see how much are fixed

Will be fixed tomorrow

[long totem]

Aye, plenty more we'd like to see but that one particular bug felt really egregious

[lavish scaffold]

Laup is one of the most fun items added to the game in recent memory.

[mossy coral]

Wow found a 21 ww Nest, ofc it turned out to 💩

[long totem]

RIP

[shut laurel]

I love uniques that enable a variety of builds

[long totem]

People keep tempting me towards this but I must remain strong and stay the tsunami path

[shut laurel]

that's often the case with relics

best item slot for sure

[long totem]

Shame maelstrom doesn't really have any unique enablers

[lavish scaffold]

just running through the campaign with Laup giving double Leap and dropping totems was an absolute blast

[near leaf]

Oh fowxyz, what are you using as your other ring ?

Entwined and ?

[long totem]

Speaking of, any recommendations on relics for a tsunami build? Twisted heart maybe, but we don't really have any retention

[patent dock]

It enables quite a few builds, a very neat item indeed

[shut laurel]

right now just a good stat opal ring with ferebor just for the +1 set but gonna replace to the weaver set ring once I get my exulis

[long totem]

Did you swap out cleaver?

[shut laurel]

no it's so good for the build even without madness currently

my gear atm

I have 1.3 cdr on maul now, ironicaly I was 2% off, I changed to a slightly better belt

think the next threshold I would need so much more

so I might settle for T5 on belt and go for hybrid health t7 instead when I switch to blood mage

[near leaf]

Shame about the int 😢

[shut laurel]

yeah I got bad luck on boots

[mossy coral]

Holy, if it was MS it would've been godly

[near leaf]

Or Str

[shut laurel]

I bricked 2 of my ok ones

I'm corrupting idc

had one with speed cdr and health

[mossy coral]

One thing I don't like about LE is MS, I hate the fact it's competing with other affixes, when everything is around MS

[shut laurel]

unlucky streak of corrupts after my sword (I deserve it honestly)

honestly no speed on that build is still fine, perma haste and you just spam maul, when you don't you can double leap out of form in monos so it's really not a big deal

[near leaf]

Cant wait to see Swipe Totems on bosses tomorrow

[long totem]

Are there any easily accessible flat spell damage item slots except weapon/offhand?

Thinking I should try to find more flat for tsunami due to ADE

[mossy coral]

Negative

[shut laurel]

it's minimal but with so many points it's literally the only thing to take lmao

[near leaf]

I took it too

But I noticed I could barely get 2 out

[shut laurel]

the lower my cdr on maul the less uptime I have on my panther stacks

everything dies too fast

[near leaf]

Probably because Back swipe is bugged

[shut laurel]

helps on real bosses

[near leaf]

Thats the kind of problem we like

[patent dock]

btw Vlad, did you end up able to pop 10 totems per maul?

[shut laurel]

also I'm doing so much omen's veil you cannot stand still for swipe you have to evade -> maul constantly

[near leaf]

On dummy without any interference and any other hit , it works sometimes

[patent dock]

interesting

[mossy coral]

I saw it too, for a split second

Very unreliable

[patent dock]

I also noticed maul procs Laup twice

[near leaf]

But if you start swipe you pre procc them and then you are cooked

[mossy coral]

12 bleed stacks 😏

[patent dock]

very handy for minion scaling, since it gets you two full pops per maul and also a pop on every new pack

[shut laurel]

yeah it's the same bug that makes maul double hit I think it's always been there since I started playing in the beta

[near leaf]

Or if there is a random smite from palarus , a bit delayed its over

[patent dock]

Ooh yeah, good point

[near leaf]

Maul double hit??

[shut laurel]

I think it's collision with terrain or enemies sometimes

you don't see you char doing it twice sometimes before even really landing?

[patent dock]

I've never noticed maul double hitting, but also I've never done any test for it lol

[shut laurel]

it might be the reset from fury leap bypassing the animation? I dont know

[long totem]

Hmmm so xylem only adds like 10-20 more flat than my decent roll Sceptre, so probably not a big damage increase but a lot of survivability

[patent dock]

Sounds like lag, I think I've seen it happen rarely

[shut laurel]

sometimes it just does it twice faster than usual

maybe but I'm pretty sure it does the damage and all the procs

[patent dock]

I've never seen double upheavals, sounds strange

or roots

[shut laurel]

does this affect the thorn totems summoned from the idols

[patent dock]

Okay, let's see how crazy this thing is lol

[shut laurel]

welcome to my hell

[patent dock]

It'll give them 3% increased cast speed

[mossy coral]

Its a lot of health when scaling it, Transcriber can also give a lot of flat

[shut laurel]

I mean mostly the summoning speed for the sake of them being killed before getting replaced by the ones from leap

[near leaf]

It affect your cast pseed for summoning them

But the idols is instant so its useless

Oh btw I asked Mike this

Its pretty interesting

[shut laurel]

I'm fine with grove mind not working in the end the other nodes are good

[patent dock]

I'm only at 131c, it was way easier than the woven echo

[near leaf]

I wanted to know if "while you have a totem " stuff would work

tldr it doesnt

[shut laurel]

keep the claw totem alive

[patent dock]

Hm, that seems contrary to the patch notes

[shut laurel]

kinda expected that I never considered the idols with that

[patent dock]

I assumed it wouldn't work, but lemme see if I can find that

[shut laurel]

you know what we need now? speed scaling on maul

[mossy coral]

New affix, action speed

[near leaf]

Nah, we are immune while we maul

Why make it faster

[shut laurel]

so I can keep up my swipe stacks?

[mossy coral]

-Action speed for longer invuln

[near leaf]

Make maul channeled

[patent dock]

Seems like the totems should need to exist at the time you make upheaval for upheaval totems to function the way they say

[shut laurel]

thats one thing I loved with the storm bear just channel rampage all the time, really cozy

[near leaf]

You know, I have actually not tested this

Maybe its not working with the totem idk

[mossy coral]

Btw did they remove the display of how many echos you've done?

[patent dock]

Maul got our back

[near leaf]

Its so delayed as totem

[patent dock]

Certainly looks promising

[shut laurel]

I have 26 prisons to do tomorrow... if I don't get my 2 affixes I might honestly take a break on that char and go level a rogue or something I have so much gear for other stuff

[shut laurel]

I made a stairway

I'm at 25 I think? so that's 25 more or less

got 7 amulets

got my stash of all the rings and amulets then once I'm done with the amulet farming I'm gonna corrupt each ring and see what's the best I can get

<- got 260 of those currently

[mossy coral]

Lmao

[ocean leaf]

should I throw this on my amulet?

does it work with frostbite dmg?

[near leaf]

Frostbite is Cold Dot and applied by your minions
So .... ? 😄

[ocean leaf]

I think so but usaid it doesnt get buffed by +spell dmg so im not sure

[winged swallow]

finally one aftershock idol....and it rolled 20%...my luck is painful

[near leaf]

%minion dmg will work

because it buff everything your minions do

[ocean leaf]

Why that unique amulet, is tht a starter one or endgame endgame choice

[near leaf]

Hit
Ailments (thats what we want)
Morning coffee

[ocean leaf]

its prob for poison chance i assume

[near leaf]

Psn chance

Indeed

gets converted to Frostbite

And you dont suffer from the less psn dmg for minions since you do cold dmg

Maybe Logi hunter can be good too, it has cast speed

Tear of the forest if you need more rage and +lvl

[tawny spoke]

Man I hope Aspect of Viper can become universal so that I can use it on dot EQ build

So far it's one of the reliable leveling up build

[near leaf]

The More Dmg is generic for dot

[tawny spoke]

It's not just that

It's the penetration part

If it becomes universal it's best for all build

[mossy coral]

Would be cool if viper got reverted to pre-nerf and also cast speed instead of just attack speed

[tranquil lintel]

with Earthquake, does shatterquake hit damage to frozen or chilled work with the dot aftershock node?

[patent dock]

The grind is over

[patent dock]

Yes

[tranquil lintel]

always a good feeling and thanks for the answer

[tawdry harbor]

i wonder if you could make a loop using the new unique idol

avalanche has a node that can trigger upheaval which the unique can trigger earthquake if you have 30 storm stacks and earthquake has a node that can trigger avalanche

[long totem]

You can, needs insane mana Regen tho

[mossy coral]

You would need like 100 mana regen, if that's even enough

[long totem]

Someone in this chat did it iirc

Via apathy stacking to hell and back

[winter ivy]

so, if Judgement Aura can benefit from Brutality, would Upheaval Shatter benefit as well?

[mossy coral]

Yes

[winter ivy]

would it affect upheaval from sabertooth too?

[long totem]

No

Doesn't affect minions

None of the conversions do annoyingly

[mossy coral]

Only you, not minions

[viral valve]

What are the ways to gather storm stacks other than gathering storm?

[mossy coral]

A unique, minions hitting up to 15 stacks only, avalanche boulders

[winter ivy]

Avalanche and Storm Breaker

It wouldn't be a self-sustaining loop on average, you need a source of storm stacks

but we have been able to make them loop for a long time already from avalanche directly proccing earthquake, it just takes a lot of mana

[viral valve]

I'm trying to find a way to create a viable build for Werebear with lightning swipe.

with aftershock

[patent dock]

Could try attunement stacking with dual Palarus maybe

[mellow kestrel]

Yes I did this with butchers crown and apathy on amulet . I had super unoptimized gear, something like 356% mana regen , which will proc 29 mana back on hit (4 times per 2 seconds) which was enough to sustain all the procs going off. And I could get waaaaay better gear and mana regen if I had more time

It’s definitely possible I just don’t know how to also get the damage output high enough to be a viable build

[elfin plover]

would that amulet be good on frog build

[wicked jacinth]

How would you counter the health loss on direct skill cast tho?

[crude cosmos]

Doesn’t that lightning belt allow for storm stack on evade or something? I’ll try find it

Lightning in a bottle

[mossy coral]

Yea 1

[crude cosmos]

To get the minion stacks started

[mossy coral]

Enough to trigger friends of the tempest

[thin axle]

Is there any way to play a support build in last epoch?

[ember iris]

you could do a Holy Aura healing build with Paladin maybe

[mellow kestrel]

Butchers crown gives health on hit as well, based on mana regen too

Basically my hp and mana were dipping and increasing rapidly eveey second. Kinda funny

[patent dock]

Yeah, paladin has the most straightforward support options. Every class has support options available, though they may be more narrow in the types of builds they support.
That said, usually there's not much benefit to going pure support, you can usually also play a build in addition to the support aspect.

[sly bobcat]

is there a UI element somewhere that shows where specific rare monster types are most commonly found? for prophecies and stuff

i can never remember where some are

[wise leaf]

No

But in general the eras the boss relates to dictates the monsters that show up

So like black sun grabs ones from the era of the gods and void

Reign of dragons gets stuff from gods and undead

[sly bobcat]

yeah that's what I've always used

but feels like I always get it wrong lol. trying to find siege golems and can't find any in black sun

[wise leaf]

Siege golems are just kinda rare unfortunately

[patent dock]

It's not in game, but TunkLab bestiary shows locations for everything if you just want a sanity check

[patent dock]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/npc/SiegeGolem

In the campaign areas, I think they have fixed spawns so you can farm them easy if needed, in monos where you can benefit from corruption they are just rare

[sly bobcat]

yeah i'm looking for LP on stuff and want the corruption

[viscid ingot]

dumb question if you are slamming 1 lp items if its a one hand axe can i slam it with a sceptre?

[near leaf]

Sceptre with sceptre
1h axe with 1h axe

[viscid ingot]

thats what i thought just making sure i had one luckily

[raw elm]

Do bosses get feared by Warcry node?

[winter ivy]

A bit incomplete, but I had an idea for Shattered Lance Werebear: https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/A21b5pmK

I figure the Upheaval changes might be good in combination with Shattered Lance... and there's some good corrupted affixes for ward and regen.

this works

and is fun

[tall marlin]

So I'm trying out bees and running beastmaster atm, using the scorpion to really help crank out poison stacks and aspect of the viper to crank the damage, but I can't help but wonder if it'd be better to go druid for swarmblade with viper strike instead. Has anybody tried it out?

[near leaf]

Serpent Strike is awful

Stay BM with Swipe

It's about to be fixed too

[tall marlin]

In what way?

[near leaf]

Swipe has node to procc companion ability

It works 50% of the time

[tall marlin]

oof

[near leaf]

In about 10h we'll get the patch and the fix is in there

[tall marlin]

I was eyeing that, but I had been trying to max attack speed to reliably proc viper and the bees from keeper's gloves

but more viper novas would probably be better

[near leaf]

Also

Aspect of the Viper is only for Companion > your Scorpion

[tall marlin]

OH

[near leaf]

It doesn't affect bees

[tall marlin]

gah

I'm ruined. RUINED.

[near leaf]

Sorry 😅🦂

[tall marlin]

ah well, i bet i can find other nodes to help apply more dots

hm, i might be better off doing druid in that case, better nodes for that kinda thing

[devout cypress]

lol the fractured earthquake converted to lightning has missing textures for aftershocks

[tardy frost]

april fools patch folks, make your bets, are they gonna fix swipe?

the fix: now swipe does not trigger anything on the other swing too

[shut laurel]

if you put jormun set shard on your belt (sealed or not) you get 20% more dmg

Why not taking this?

hmmm

looking at whetstone gavel again

18 attributes is pretty darn nice...

pity none of the regular 1h sword/axe bases are particularly useful for nova scorp

eagle wing for that 8% ms i guess

sickle for a little bit of extra increased

[unreal field]

Casting Earthquake via Natural Wrath doesn't seem to expend 10 more GS stacks via Fury of the Elements. Did someone tried that already? The combi makes totally sense as NW needs 30 stacks, uses 20 - so 10 are left for Fury. But doesn't look like it. Not loosing 30 stacks.

[shut laurel]

2 vitality+atttunement affixes exulis in a row what are the chances

[devout cypress]

idk, but having earthquake cast avalanch cast earthquake is fun as

[surreal rock]

Only thing I would note is how Fury of the elements expends its 10 stacks over 5 seconds.

[near leaf]

0.5 second

[shut laurel]

I'm tired boss...

[surreal rock]

So it means to say that those 10 stacks should be gone in 0.5 seconds, not at a rate of 0.5. Noted.

[near leaf]

Maybe it's not properly worded and require a direct cast

[surreal rock]

The text is clear enough, but somehow I managed to misinterpret... yay?

[unreal field]

I will test again with recording and turning off the "chance of gaining stack instead of loosing" in GS tree to be sure. But during gameplay it looked loosing less then 20.

[thin axle]

Does the primalist heal give other players thé buff of castspeed and attack speed ? Forgot how the heal is called

[raven sluice]

Do people have any verdict on tsunami for endgame? I feel like it seems very good, but I'm like lvl 70

Also I went shaman. Idk if I should go beastmaster with scorp and gathering storm? Is there any druid options?

[unreal field]

I just had a look at it after it was mentioned here. I was wondering to go druid with storm breaker, stacking strength. Using storm bolts and tsunami for damage. Just found a 3 LP storm breaker 🙂
Or dual wield cold GS shami, with extra GS stacks from aftershock->avalanche. With sword in offhand for spell damage.

[raven sluice]

A problem with storm breaker is it's awfully slow. But helm with extra storm stack and stacking attack speed seems interesting

[near leaf]

F8 ingame

[near leaf]

Scorp tsunami is bugged rn

[unreal field]

Yes it's slow and also the reason why I like it with my shami atm is the 15% leech. But that's only for lighting while tsunami is cold. So not so great synergy :/

[near leaf]

Doesn't benefit from the new more dmg node

[raven sluice]

You can get 25% chance to get 3 extra storm stacks for a big mana cost but it's fine if you don't want your mana for e
Exciting Bolts. So that's 0.75 extra per attack. Then you get like +1 from helm. So you get 2.75 storm stacks per attack. Then when they would tick down you have 18% chance they tick up so expenditures per stack is 1/(0.82-0.18)=1/0.64

[raven sluice]

Rip scorp

This can be storm stacks expended per attack at least

So a tenth of that as no mana cost maelstroms

[unreal field]

Helm won't work for druid though - with storm breaker I mean.

[wise leaf]

So assuming this is fixed in the patch tomorrow, tsunami scorp does look very good

Maelstrom scorp playstyle is active but workable provided you're not trying to do tempest totem gladiator tech

And the damage numbers for tsunami scorp math out pretty stonks

[raven sluice]

I mainly hope that storm stacks can work, but only 10% chance to get a maelstrom is kinda brutal

[wise leaf]

Yeah it's not worth it

[raven sluice]

Rip

[wise leaf]

Unless you're gonna do weird shaman memescorp stuff?

[raven sluice]

Ah, I forgot shaman can scorp

That's interesting

[wise leaf]

But afaik that's more focused on lightning damage

wait

[raven sluice]

When scorp triggers your skills, it's not an infinite loop of skills with trees right? Plus it's extremely unreliable?

Also if it makes avalanche trigger earthquake that earthquake costs mana

[wise leaf]

Ummm

1 sec

[near leaf]

The teasing is real

[high stratus]

you can add aftershock idols triggering boulders to get more stacks

[wise leaf]

Correct

[raven sluice]

Ah, neat

[high stratus]

up to 4 boulders per attack

[raven sluice]

Now we're actually talking

[unreal field]

Lightning Tsunami would be awesome, we could use Eye of the Storms. Is there a world where we only add Lightning Spell damage to ignore it being base cold?

[raven sluice]

From 2.75 in nominator to like 4.55

[high stratus]

I think how the 45% chance for a stack per boulder is each boulder can generate up to 1 stack but you have a 45% chance per target hit to get that stack

[wise leaf]

Flat added specific damage type is very limited

So no

[high stratus]

so in multitarget situations you can get 4 stacks per attack from boulders

you can get flat lightning per int by using that mage staff and legends entwined

I don't think that's good exactly, but you can do it

[raven sluice]

Shame you cant cleaver the int

[unreal field]

Why not?

[wise leaf]

Also tempest strike just giving you oodles of flat adaptive

[high stratus]

because you have to use a staff

can't also use a 1h axe

the helmet from that set is mage only

[raven sluice]

Staves also don't have attack speed iirc

[unreal field]

True

[raven sluice]

They're relatively slow, no dual wield bonus, and got no attack speed in mod pool

[near leaf]

Aspect of the crows
Yesterday I went to 77 stacks

[high stratus]

biggest weakness of Jasper's glorious stacking fire melee stick

[raven sluice]

Yup

[wise leaf]

Hmm, fair

[high stratus]

actually crows could work

[near leaf]

For a total of 231

[raven sluice]

Hmmmmmmm

[near leaf]

Flat

[raven sluice]

Gimmmmeeee

[unreal field]

Speaking of aftershock -> boulder. Does anyone know for certain how the double aftershocks works for that?

[wise leaf]

Tho keeping those crows alive is...

Dubious

[near leaf]

Though you get half the duration (so half the stacks) 'for scorpion

[wise leaf]

Without bm stuff

[raven sluice]

Beastmaster prolly

[wise leaf]

Oh you wouldn't run them with scorpion

Hell nah

[high stratus]

if you use aftershock idols the second aftershock is basically unaimed, it misses a fair bit unless there are a lot of targets, but if it hits it drops boulders AFAIK

[wise leaf]

Solo scorp for the scorp build

[unreal field]

But can it hit the same target?

[high stratus]

yeah but it often won't unless the target is really big

[wise leaf]

I don't care how much flat they give they don't beat an almost 3.25x damage multiplier

[unreal field]

Because in EQ there is the mention of mutliple Aftershocks not being able to hit the same target

[wise leaf]

Oh my earlier idea

Was lightning Dot eq memescorp

Wait no

Nvm

[devout cypress]

ive done both quakes, aftershocks version sucks

[wise leaf]

Not good

[devout cypress]

maxing out cd more damage version much better

[high stratus]

Tremors 0/3
Earthquake can cast more minimum possible Aftershocks. Each enemy can only be targeted by one Aftershock.
This means it will only spawn 1 aftershock per enemy when you use EQ, not that they can't be damaged by more than one if they're standing close to another enemy targeted by EQ

[devout cypress]

im strongly considering a bluefeather instead of xylum

[unreal field]

One more thing regarding Aftershock -> Boulder. I feel like those boulders are delayed more this season. Like melee hit -> aftershock -> boulder. For maps those boulders arrive quite late to the party.

[raven sluice]

Does bluefeather band reduce costs of things like aftershock boulders?

[high stratus]

yeah they are definitely slow

but they always have been

the halvar set proc is also really slow

and so are boulder on melee/cast idols

[raven sluice]

Avalanche in general is slow

[high stratus]

it's just a frustrating quirk of triggering avalanche

[raven sluice]

When maining it, moving targets are a pain

[high stratus]

yeah if you cast avalanche you'll see that there's a fair delay before the first hit after you start casting

[unreal field]

Sad that there is no node for that in the tree. I have points left

[high stratus]

apparently one of the AOE increasing nodes in avalanche is bugged and makes every boulder fall in exactly the same spot

[high stratus]

avalanche tree is pretty shit tbh

for a skill that does almost 5000% ADE per cast in a decent AOE it's shockingly bad

[unreal field]

is aftershock chance capped at 100% btw?

[devout cypress]

just use boulder on spell hit

gs lightning will prock them like crazy

[high stratus]

it's on cast not on hit

[devout cypress]

works with lightning totems it looks like

[high stratus]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/avalanche/sources what are you talking about? which one of these things?

[devout cypress]

spell cast

have lightning totem cast gs

im also spamming maelstrom as i run around

[high stratus]

I'm not saying it doesn't work but if it does that's almost certainly a bug

[devout cypress]

could be that

[high stratus]

it'll be the maelstroms I think

Storm totem's shitty blizzard should be replaced by a way for storm totem to cast avalanche

[devout cypress]

map clear is not my issue thought, running out of mana on bosses is

rares and normie mobs are paper

[high stratus]

what build are you playing with both maelstroms and storm totem casting storm bolts?
