#

wait after 3lp not slam

kind atlas
#

yeah thats what ive been doing

atomic vapor
#

depends

#

okay so what I've been doing lately is

#

get a million prophecies then dump them all on daggers (I farm belt with imprints)

#

then drop daggers in turtle in bulk

#

roll the 3lps with other 3lps

#

and nemesis the good rolled 0lps

#

I figured gauntlet is a little too slow given how the dagger itself drops like candy

#

you will absolutely beat the odds for 3lp at least, 4lp is another story

kind atlas
#

yeah the lpl isnt that high

kind atlas
#

its not that bad actually. it would have been a nightmare last season without the stuff we ahve

atomic vapor
#

that's gonna be a determining factor on whether I play season 3

#

if farming doesn't stay at this level of consistency

#

I'll play something else

kind atlas
#

wonder if they will leave imprints as they are. exalted prophs need a huge buff

crimson latch
#

which build i could use to kill uber aberrothj ?

graceful notch
kind atlas
#

the rolls on it too though

verbal pier
#

george why u still using flat affix on dagger?

atomic vapor
#

why not? Umbral blades have the melee tag

verbal pier
atomic vapor
#

oh sorry yeah I meant the physical tag

verbal pier
#

its physical melee not throwing so it doesnt increase for umbral

atomic vapor
#

are you 100%? Whenever I used daggers without flat I got slower kills

verbal pier
#

yess 100% Ive test it

#

thats why when I go full umbral I change my dagger

atomic vapor
#

I'm gonna hit one with increased and run some more kills

#

Thanks for the heads up 🙏

verbal pier
#

Ive test it on dummy, tooltip and LE tools

#

for tooltip I have the video it doesnt increase the dps, u want to watch it?

#

but it increase for shadow dagger

atomic vapor
#

It's just that increased feels so wasted because you get such a massive amount of increased dmg from idols

#

I can't watch something rn I'm at work, but if I trust someone's testing that's yours

#

I've got like 10 3lp daggers I'll hit another one and try to lower my time

verbal pier
atomic vapor
#

Keeping this for when I can watch. Yeah you're not wrong obviously, just what my initial reasoning was

#

I'm still on the dagger grind so I'll see what I can do

verbal pier
#

yeahh, and I changed to shadow glove too for more dmg cause can get more dusk shroud stacks

#

its on dummy, 215 stacks + 8 stacks smoke blades.
but I think its impossible for real battle, Highest I get is 140ish and 5-7 smoke blade stacks

#

Wouldn't crit multi be a safe bet un this case?

#

Funny to find out, that my weapons perhaps never added any dmg.
Never went on a deep dive here and rather trusted what people commonly use

atomic vapor
#

Builds keep getting optimized as we go. Someone will always usually find a better interaction when enough minds work together

#

Meru already uses multi btw

#

The debate was on the third stat

graceful hare
atomic vapor
#

I think t7 should be pen personally

astral iron
#

so melee physical% is better than melee phy?

graceful hare
#

Increased physical, not melee.

verbal pier
graceful hare
#

Yeah, suddenly it all makes more sense to me.
Never questioned this "has a melee tag" and blindly followed. Now I see why I didn't understood that 🙂

But hey, its still good news to me. Means my daggers are almoat naked and the damage is already so OP and more then enough for my purpose.

But I have 3LP daggers left and will see if I can make a quick improvement there

atomic vapor
#

I will always go pen first on a fast physical build because armor affects physical more than other resistances so being able to burn through both res and armor with shred as effectively as possible feels more intuitive than just another modifier like multi

#

It synergizes well with shred in that regard

#

So if they decide to introduce a monster with built in phys res, you'll be preemptively ready for it

#

It feels safer than multi even if it would be a little weaker on paper

#

I really hope the PoB fork is strong in season 3 so that calculating becomes more user friendly

graceful hare
#

Tbh, I still think: What great news, so all my dmg comes from almost naked daggers. All I can see is upgrade potential 😄

#

What again shows how broken this build is 🤭

atomic vapor
#

personally I hope they don't outright murder the build

#

there's a difference between nerfing and making something unusable

graceful hare
#

EHG usually isn't too bad in nerfing for my feeling. Usually they slap the wrist, and don't cut it

atomic vapor
#

ehhh

#

Look at glacier

graceful hare
#

If once case makes a general rule for you, look at divine bolt pala ^^ A comparable level of being broken came down to a "perfectly balanced" build

atomic vapor
#

No no the sentiment was that if a build is the prime suspect of outright killing, that usually is the best performing build

#

Glacier was S tier outside of crazy MG builds (because you couldn't farm anything reasonably good with CoF before imprints)

#

In my eyes, if one such outlier build is the prime suspect of being nerfed to oblivion that's falconer

#

I don't like falconer because it's broken. I like falconer because it's cool

#

And I don't want to see it die

graceful hare
#

Yes, I also like this very fast gameplay style. But I strongly believe in EHG that it is possible to cut the dmg of some extreme falconers by a half without ruining the entire mastery.

And I mean, Falconer is not only Umbral Blades and stuff. There's a few really nice ethic Falconers too.
I started the season with a cold acid flask for example. Beautiful skill and absolutely had a great time with that without the feeling that this should not be possible 😄

nocturne wave
#

can i use this on a 3lp talon or should i wait for double exalts?

atomic vapor
#

My most favorite skill in the entire game is smoke bomb with the traversal tag

#

It enables the ninja power fantasy and it's even cooler with the falcon interacting with it further

atomic vapor
#

Would you like to wait that out or not?

#

Keep in mind if you imprint a 3lp talon you'll get them very regularly

#

It's just that the rolls on it are a little punishing

#

If you need the power spike the obvious answer is go for it, but if your talon is maxrolled maybe you should wait

#

Or slam it in a worse bow

nocturne wave
#

thanks for the advice!

atomic vapor
#

No problem

flint turret
#

Only thing that's left for da is a manastacking one-punchman meme

flint turret
#

This dusk shroud fix (massive buff) mid season was totally uncalled for

#

I have no idea what's going on in ehg heads so they decided to add 1500% increased and 1500% more damage to umbral build that was already clearing 10k corr in a previous seasons

Running aerial assault with featherstorm and dive bomb with birds aren't real. Why does my dive bomb cancel featherstorm?

hollow patio
#

Are there any implications to being able to spam Shift? I've been on a quest to find a Traversal to abuse with the fixed t7 potion lowers traversal cd affix lol.

#

saw a video with a guy doing it with Surge and wondered if any other skills could be used in the same way, but never made a Rogue before.

#

maybe shift spam Chakram?

#

@keen snow do you play Rogues haha

toxic swift
#

shift shadow cascade is what I'm using it for

low life, converted all potion health to ward, auto potion use thanks to the low life node on shift

excellent mono farming build, struggles on boss dps

thats awesome!

toxic swift
#

yeah, it's a ton of fun. a build that I've been playing since beta I think, but it really does feel like this is the best it's been at least in terms of how smooth it feels to play

#

used to be that you could have like 8k ward easy and the death's door node gave you basically free 100% crit chance on everything, but this is definitely more fun

Playing umbral blades falconer. Should I take a 2 LP talons of valor over a 1 LP if I lose 1 point of aerial assault

#

Hi. If I'm making an exsanguinous build. Do I need to put health on items at all? or do those builds usually skip health altogether.

can falconer still kill uberroth with blue gear?

#

Were speaking about the vid from Terek?

thin quartz
graceful hare
#

Where is the problem with his gear? Only CDR on slots where it is possible, or what do I miss?

thin quartz
#

nono, i dont see any problem. its just someone else probably felt that its offline that its a taboo or something. i do brush off edited gears / build as well but that particular video is as good as no edit since its blue gears only

graceful hare
thin quartz
#

yeah no worries. it be like that sometimes

atomic vapor
#

I still think proof of concept builds hold value

#

In that sense offline editing helps theorycrafting

#

So if someone states that it's edited and it's for testing and doesn't pretend they're online I'm fine with it

#

As long as people are honest about it I don't care personally

thin quartz
#

oh yeah of course.
but the line is drawn when full unique edited to max roll with 2lp slammed.
that's gonna be abit absurd. to me at least.

atomic vapor
#

It largely depends on how common the unique is. E.g blood roost or traitor or dragonsong I can see maxrolled (some of our gear is maxrolled and we're online). But if someone comes with a maxrolled 2lp/3lp nihilis in every single stat and maxrolled slams as well, yeah it's a little too much

#

Unless the test is "what that class can do with 100% god gear"

#

I understand that completely, purely theoretical stress test

#

But ofc again it all comes down to intent and honesty

vernal zealot
atomic vapor
#

It should definitely be possible with just enough cdr and umbrals idols since silver shroud doesn't rely on gear

#

Granted it's gonna take some pro gameplay

#

There's enough skill points to rush the bottom right part of dive bomb

#

Same with falconry, you can just take mostly the top part which is important

#

Smoke bomb just the cleanse+silver shroud+max shadows

#

Umbrals ofc isn't skill starved anyway

#

And AA most of the final points are qol

#

You probably just can't stay inside anything it's gonna be instant death

#

You can get double kris knives with multi and t5 pen and nothing else

#

That alone should be more dps than some low end geared builds 💀

#

at 70%+ dodge is it worth it to keep juicing the stat?

#

1 more dodge affix only gets like 73% dodge

#

would it be better served with health or another defensive stat

flint turret
#

depends on the amounts you are getting. 70 to 73% dodge is pure 11% ehp increase vs hits

#

if that health affix would hive you +11% pure health, its better most likely, because it helps vs dot too

atomic vapor

is it worth swapping to traitors tongue umbral falconer over bow/quiver if i have a few good daggers?

last night I run over 30 arenas and I encountered her only once was kinda sad when I went to bed when I started falling asleep on my keyboard xD

Petition to replace penumbra ring drop in arena to razor boots Bee

haughty wharf
#

but I got 2 3lp items for a mage build ill be playing later if nothing else

#

I mean if I drop one more mage item I'll just have to ditch my rog cuz while farming my rog gear I got 80% of my mages build completed....

#

and my R has only 1 ring and a 1 lp weapon xDD

next gale
#

is endurance a good defensive stat in this game? (im a nooby)

flint turret
#

Sometimes it's useless (on low life builds)

keen snow
next gale
#

mhm. i tried going low life. but its not working for me. like at all. so getting health gear now

keen snow
#

low life needs health gear

#

your ward is scaled off your maxhp for lowlife

next gale
#

i knowww. i didnt know 2 days ago lmaaao

#

😄

flint turret
#

On life builds getting 60% endurance is mandatory if you want it at least somewhat optimized

next gale
#

on the plus side.. stacked dmg o nevery slot. its either me or them.

#

oh. cool. hm

keen snow
#

there are other kinds of ward builds where the ward generation is totally separate from your hp values and you really can just not have any hp or endurance etc

next gale
#

what do you do about endurance threshold?

#

how important is it?

keen snow
#

the endurance threshold affix you can get on belts is bad

#

but there are sources of endurance threshold which are very good

next gale
#

oh really hmm

flint turret
#

Otherwise it's almost as good as hp affixes

plucky harbor
#

Sorry for dumb questions !
I am trying a HS build.
I got the basic stuff.

The red ring seems to be very hard to get, could i use Tongue of the abberrant while waiting to drop the red ?
i mean, +3 all attributes is not bad ? If y slam cold damage and dext into them ?

keen snow
#

if you don't have any % increased health then that endurance threshold affix is actually better than flat hp assuming you have 60% endurance.

But it doesn't scale with or benefit from % increased hp so flat hp and % increased hp (also available as a belt suffix!) is just better

flint turret
next gale
#

or health uniques in general

flint turret
#

Mountain boots

next gale
#

ill look them up ty.

flint turret
#

Brew belt and mountain core give some too

keen snow
next gale
#

i have a falcon hm

keen snow
#

some of those are just generically good health uniques

flint turret
#

But those don't give endurance mostly

next gale
#

but im doing manually casted umbral blades

keen snow
#

I don't know if falcon counts for mantle

next gale
#

hmm

keen snow
#

falcon can't be hit/take damage can it?

next gale
#

it cant

haughty wharf
#

I think you put too much value on endurance

plucky harbor
keen snow
#

getting 60% endurance is pretty important for builds relying on their health pool

flint turret
haughty wharf
#

so looking for endurance NOW

#

seems like like his 3rd problem

#

or I misunderstood that

plucky harbor
keen snow
flint turret
#

You can ignore endurance up to some point. Fix res and life first. Endurance is basically a damage reduction, it's a multiplier to your overall ehp. I can recommend just slapping 0-1lp anchor into any hp build as soon as possible tho and replace it later if needed when you get more alternatives how to cap endurance

flint turret
haughty wharf

are there any good set items in this game? or can i safely filter them all out

keen snow

actually there is one with niche defensive uses, the corsair one, but you could still safely filter that out and not worry about it

Sure you can pick up uniques and legendaries super early on but definitely don’t pick up exalts or lower

ye thats what I meant I just forgot to say dont pick up exalts

thank you for correcting me tho!

how do people farm t7 affixes on weapons?

anything more efficent?

Ahhhh ok. Why it’s so damn hard to get a 1lp red ring. Either that or one with dex lol

next gale

does increasing the level of falconry also increase the damage the other falcon related skills? (dive bomb for instance)

cobalt mantle
next gale
#

ohhhhh

i didnt know that thnak u

thought leveling them increased their dmg

graceful notch

# graceful notch

I've been hunting for that enchant for a month now on ornates. Got a t7 twice and it added a second stat

#

Pretty disgustingly low chances on those

graceful notch
#

I only play Ballista, even though I have quite a few OP items for other builds

atomic vapor
#

The enchants are about a million times harder to get than the bases

#

That t7 crit allows me to swap out of an idol I don't want to use and get 6% more pen

#

But the game hates me

surreal birch
#

Can I get some advice on my build please? Should be standard umbral falconer. I can do 1k corruption OK and have been trying uber aberoth, but my dps tehre seems super low. Some people have told me my gear should be more than though, but I've also seen multiple videos with people in seemingly less gear having very short kill times. One person was telling me I should have him 80%/50% shield by the end ot the first cicle. Best case I've had is getting him to around 90%. With current planner setup I get him to about 95% then. It actually went backwards when I changed a few skill points around according to a build somebody showed me as their preerred uber build (I added the bleed basically). https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/visserau/character/visser

#

Obviously I need to work on mechanics but that's fine, my issue right now is probably having less DPS than I should (but no idea why). I know I can get a few more dex slots but I've had the worst luck on slams and also want to not get 1 shot mapping

i have been meanig to try some less levels and talons over daggers but for now that build is relatively average vs some other planners that you can see

#

you're 2 dex off 160

#

max smoke blades in smoke bomb
you don't have dive bomb nodes in your passive tree (tactician) but skills are dive bomb focused

#

wait you take the large umbral but aren't going dusk shrouds. need to pick between dive bomb or umbral. midnight avery is not very good on umbral. max out flock of crows
get idol for damage per dusk shroud not damage with shadows

surreal birch
#

Hmm guess those points got dropped whilst I was swapping gear, I've had smoke blades maxed 99% of the time for sure. [I just checked in game, they were there - hopefully it updates.] Can you explain what you mean picking one o the other? They are both core to the build with all the cdr stuff

#

I do have the dmg per dusk shroud idol - can only it one idol that size pre uber relic. (I know I do have one with the shadow attack afix on it but only cause that's my best dodge/hp idol to fit in that slot, not trying to build for that)

#

I realised after i posted this I had somehow orgot about passives entirely in the last few days of being stuck on this. So yeah I can look at that but I did copy them from a proper build initially (maxroll or somebody I replaced that with). Any specific changes for that? You mention dive bomb but so far I've heard minion damage is supposed to be bad? Or is the choice you were talking about above the choice of bufing throwing vs minion damage?

#

Looking through passives main diff I see is I spend some points to get crit avoid capped

atomic vapor
#

Hello

woeful ether
# surreal birch Hmm guess those points got dropped whilst I was swapping gear, I've had smoke bl...

umbral build most damage is through scaling the actual umbrals thrown by falcon through aa and dusk shroud % scaling. minion dmg is not useful and neither are the lingering umbrals bc you spec the large 1 umbral node and the explosions also do most of the dmg.
dive bomb build is scaling the actual dmg of dive bomb hits which are falcon hits themselves. it scales through shared dmg and umbrals are only there to stick in the ground for the crit multi node on dive bomb.

obviously both builds take advantage of the same skills as you mentioned for the cdr reasons (well dive bomb builds can ignore umbral points entirely if preferred) but have different methods of dealing dmg/scaling

#

hey george

woeful ether
atomic vapor
#

heyhey

woeful ether
#

i did uber on worse gear and that planner isn't even significantly better than when i first did it so once you fix your tree to basically be that, all that's left is unfortunately skill issues

atomic vapor
#

For Uber specifically something I found works great if you have shred slammed nowhere on your gear is the 4 shred points on bd. You maintain a consistent 160 shred stacks which is exactly where diminishing returns hits according to tunk

woeful ether
#

for talons i think best is shred on quiver

#

or just single dagger can also do if you don't want to change tree

atomic vapor
#

Yes I think one shred slam is 100% worth it (I just haven't had such luck to test it yet)

surreal birch
#

I do have a shred on gloves, and a few nodes (but not massive investment)

atomic vapor
#

But if you haven't, don't go in uncapped you lose a lot of damage. I find 4 points a great investment to shred cap just for uber

woeful ether
#

there def are some fight tips so you can maintain shred on uber

#

if you're commited to doing it at lower gear

atomic vapor
#

Another thing that's not talked about is, as you walk out during timeshattering slam, keep casting AA and divebomb right on top of aberroth. Never stop casting

#

You will go back in with very respectable shroud stacks

woeful ether
#

i think you can also just feet cast it at the harby spawn location since he usually charges there

#

but yeah optimal is casting on him

surreal birch
woeful ether
#

i'm pretty sure like half my fights are feet casting (the lower clear times ones hah) bc of controller targetting

surreal birch
#

So what health/shields would you have him at that point?

atomic vapor
#

I've found that it's almost never worth to cast it anywhere other than aberroth himself because your stacks take a steep dive after harby dies if casted outside of aberroth

#

What I do is face my back towards 1st harby so that she charges onto me and she instadies

woeful ether
woeful ether
atomic vapor
surreal birch
#

I'm not even getting CLOSE to spawning th4e shield though. A few times I've lived that long but that's like 4-5 slams in

woeful ether

it's significantly more optimal to mkb target but i just wanted to state it's def not crazy bad if you are unable to do so

surreal birch
#

I am on mouse/kbd

#

Def not into controllers sorry 😛

let me finish eating lunch and i'll see if i can do some talons testing

I don't know what the fastest bow kills are currently but the only one I've seen faster than mine is meru's at around 20 seconds but meru's gear is unreal

woeful ether
#

somehow switching to daggers just did a lot more dmg upfront

atomic vapor
#

I'm obviously not counting oneshot builds

woeful ether
#

talons felt like it was very inconsistent to get the first shield pop before/during slam

#

but dagger was like almost always

#

🤷

surreal birch
# woeful ether umbral build most damage is through scaling the actual umbrals thrown by falcon ...

About this yeah I was thinking about it before you replied and the distinction between the two builds was clicking, thanks for clarifying. When you say "large umbra node" do you mean sword thrower? Am I supposed to be taking the nodes to the left of that down the tree as well? I previously had them until I respecced for bleed earlier today. Before that as well I also had the 2 explosive nodes a long time ago, but I swapped gear (lost +skill) and couldn't keep them. Are those explosive nodes important for dps?

atomic vapor
#

They just carry unreal stats. 65 multi implicits and being able to slam both multi and pen on both

woeful ether
#

i'm unsure if i even had 1 lp slammed daggers when i did my first uber haha

#

might've just been base

surreal birch
#

I do have empty 1lp daggers but only +1 skills unfortunately. No daggers to slam into them. Will consider the swap

#

Also re video no I don't, and for some reason the windows game recorder wouldn't work yesterday

woeful ether
atomic vapor
#

If you go one round of dagger prophecies (double quantity/charges and dagger lenses) for around 500k favor you will fill up an entire inventory of daggers

woeful ether
#

when i was doing some testing and wrote in excel dmg numbers half my dmg per burst round was from the explosion shards

atomic vapor
#

I've been doing it all week for a 4lp dagger, I've filled entire stash tabs of them

#

Highly recommend dagger prophecies

surreal birch
#

OK I have 2 free points I can spec those back in

woeful ether
#

this game really needs a way better way to figure out dps 😠

surreal birch
#

Also is coldsnap strike of any value at all? Can i just steal its point?

woeful ether
#

you don't need the bleed

surreal birch
#

Yeah the bleed is what I was doing trying to copy what somebody linked me without understanding blades vs dive bomb build

#

I need to undo that now

woeful ether
#

i think you can leave the cold node since you use ucenui but imo the larger switch are the other points

#

if you swap idols it's not that much dmg increase even with uncei

#

since dusk shrouds give so much

atomic vapor
#

I'm gonna make a "definitive" planner and link it here because people keep clicking my planner and dming me "why do you have that passive" because I keep changing skills around for mapping

woeful ether
#

you should just link mine bc it's 1 lp slams :D

atomic vapor
#

I'm not gonna link mine. I'm gonna make one with "perfect stats" so that people know what to slam at any given point

woeful ether
#

i've been meaning to try some worse gear, level 90 (leave points unallocated) stuff but been playing poe

#

ohhh i see

#

i jsut think mine is funny bc of the endurance red ring. it's not even double dex >.>

#

basically 0 lp red ring

surreal birch
#

Should I drop exang strike from falconry as well? (Only took that today for testing)

atomic vapor
#

I have the end blessing because my lirakas rolled 6

#

(':

#

Oh foxy did you see my new belt ❤️

woeful ether
#

what belt?

atomic vapor
#

I slammed a 4lp jungle it's in the item showcase

woeful ether
#

i've been away bc of poe league but i literally keep thinking of playing more le D:

atomic vapor
#

Took me a week

woeful ether
#

holy

atomic vapor
#

I've turtled

#

3 tabs of belts?

#

Exhausting

woeful ether
#

THAT IS UNETHICAL

#

grats

atomic vapor
#

It was chill actually. Been watching some let's plays while blasting 😛

#

Tyty

woeful ether
#

when are you gonna farm 2lp red rings

#

feeling like that's basically your last goal after helm/body

atomic vapor
#

Yeah there's nothing else to farm. I was gonna go for a double t7 null but... Dex is just a little more increased %

#

So I'm gonna try to at least get a 2lp red ring for more throw

woeful ether
#

do you finally have more res to get null value

atomic vapor
#

Yesss

#

I got avoid on the belt

woeful ether
#

pog

atomic vapor
#

Swapped to 20 all res blessing

woeful ether
#

finally not just barely overcap hah

atomic vapor
#

It's so good 😭

#

I feel fulfilled

woeful ether
#

i think at least 10% dr from it is nice. but so many people don't even have 90 res 😭

#

err i think 100 res looks good at least on the sheet

atomic vapor
#

The feeling of keeping a triple t7 belt for an entire week waiting patiently is the most excruciating thing

woeful ether
#

wild

atomic vapor
#

Even the 4th stat was increased phys

#

I'm so happy

woeful ether
#

yeah that was...

#

all perfect statsz

#

and perfect dex roll

surreal birch
woeful ether
#

you would've been so sad if it were min roll haha

atomic vapor
#

Got someone on global being like why no hybrid hp I'm like bro I've been wanting to make null the meta body armor all season leave me alone 😭

woeful ether
atomic vapor
woeful ether
#

no i like the crit avoid

#

when i was looking at building a bee build isn't it like t7 crit avoid and tree = full crit reduction?

atomic vapor
#

I've decided it's the best piece for it. It wastes me one passive point because it didn't roll 70 but I'll live. Not gonna stress over tiny minmaxing

surreal birch
#

Is it worth leaving them off and taking some points of rapid persuit for smoke bomb cdr?

atomic vapor
woeful ether
atomic vapor
#

The cdr on bomb doesn't work for me

surreal birch
#

Huh? can only cast it once, but I figurte getting it back sooner is good defensivly

atomic vapor
#

I maxed it out, does nothing

surreal birch
#

That sucks

atomic vapor
#

Looks like a bug maybe I don't know

#

I think the game isn't realizing you change smoke bomb to traversal

#

(as with half falconer skills being broken)

#

With all 3 points in it I should be getting at least one singular smoke blade stack because the total cdr is big

#

But nope

woeful ether
#

honestly i don't think it matters with smoke bomb duration and cloud gatherer

atomic vapor
#

I wanted it for mapping

#

Jump around quicker

woeful ether
#

am i dumb for saying you only get 2 smoke bombs

#

i thought liek you can't actually get buffs from 3 or something

atomic vapor
#

You get 7-8 smoke blade stacks with max cdr

#

It goes between 7 and 8 rapidly

woeful ether
#

so even if you could throw a 3rd bomb you don't get more stacks

#

ahh that was it

atomic vapor
#

I'm not even sure tbh. Maybe the stacks expire too fast

woeful ether
#

i've tried testing it and have only seen it hit 8 max

atomic vapor
#

Same never seen a 9

#

I haven't seen one even with a cdr shrine

woeful ether
#

even switched to mkb and disabled the traversal

#

never 9

atomic vapor
#

I tried disabling the traversal for uber

#

And I can't get back in fast enough for dusk shroud stacks not to drop

woeful ether
#

i'm rpetty sure my first kill was with no traversal

#

but yeah for sure when it's on farm you want to be flipping into uber

atomic vapor
#

Right now with my gear I'm getting a consistent 25 seconds which I didn't manage to do when I dropped the traversal

woeful ether
#

one of my problems on the first kill was flipping into either the cold black hole or the giga void/fire burn

#

literally 1 shot dot me

atomic vapor
#

😭yeah no surprise that I haven't seen one of those at all lately

woeful ether
#

haha

atomic vapor
#

He doesn't manage to cast anything poor guy

woeful ether
#

i remember my first kills well

#

both regular abby and uber

atomic vapor
#

My first good Uber attempt was on a 1lp heartseeker

#

Went to last phase

#

Choked the lasers

woeful ether
#

was like 1 day in between i was so hyped

#

which lasers?

atomic vapor
#

I remember it took such an unreal amount of time

#

The ones from the center

woeful ether
#

his beam ones or the center orb

#

ah

atomic vapor
#

There was no room to stand because he was doing the abrorb matter thingy and the safe side was covered in them

#

And I was playing dragonsong

woeful ether
#

yeah if i made heartseeker it would not be dragonsong

atomic vapor
#

If I moved away I wasn't getting health on hit fast enough

woeful ether
#

melee ranged build isn't it

surreal birch
#

OK I cleaned up the skill points

It would be fine if it had reliable silver shroud

surreal birch
#

Also @foxy the planner you linked earlier that you said was "achievable" - that had shattered world in it. What am I supposed to do without that, just stick with ucenui and the cold idol?

#

This is my first char so not an achievable drop 😛

woeful ether
#

looks better to me. btw i think if you can get a new amulet even inheritance of the erased with throw dmg? it would be better. you can get phys res from idols

atomic vapor
#

Drop the point from rushing wings and midnight aviary

woeful ether
#

yes, i know that vid has uber drop but i did it without before :^) vid just shows a really clean/fast kill on not stupid gear either

atomic vapor
#

And get the two points at the top

surreal birch
#

I'm running it for frailty, I have an ok nihilis with throwing I was using beore I started getting 1 shot

atomic vapor
#

For 40% smoke bomb duration

surreal birch
atomic vapor
#

When you get another two from nihilis, drop the final rushing winds point and get the useless traversal skill and the useless bleed skill (yes rushing winds harms you)

woeful ether
#

ah. it's fine to keep ucenui or just go exalted relic shred, throw dmg, etc

atomic vapor
#

Wings*

woeful ether
#

you also don't need 2 points in coordinated fade

surreal birch
#

I do because my fingers reuire me to have AA in both of my first slots

#

I know its suboptimal but like I also need to be able to play

atomic vapor
#

Why not have AA and dive bomb in the first two slots then? You press the same buttons

surreal birch
#

nah I only activate them with a ahk macro trigger

atomic vapor
woeful ether
#

dive bomb resets if interrupted before it goes off but honestly i played a long time with 1 point rushing wings it's totally fine. this is giga minmax

atomic vapor
#

I was just thinking if we need to squeeze dps out might as well minmax

#

Also I'd drop all the concentration synergies. Aberroth attacks so slowly that you always have silver shroud for melee attacks so you don't need DR

#

put them all into more smt

woeful ether
#

it's dmg

atomic vapor
#

Dmg*

woeful ether
#

16% more dmg and the ms scaling from other passiven ode

#

oh you mean the following ones

atomic vapor
#

The ms scaling is increased not more.

#

Yes

#

You can take the flat throw from bd

#

Increased from ms is way worse

woeful ether
#

there's really not much besides the flat throw

atomic vapor
#

But the bd one is 16 flat throw

#

It's still 8 more useful points which should go a long way when you can't phase to 1st harby reliably

woeful ether
#

oh max out raptor's wings

atomic vapor
#

16 throw is 16 throw

#

Something else id do is turn brain off, go to normal aberroth and kill him repeatedly until a 1lp nihilis with +2 drops

#

Then go to your filter add ammy with t7 throw

woeful ether
#

i would do this if you want more tank/dmg

atomic vapor
#

Those two combined are give or take 60 throw

woeful ether
#

i got so giga lucky with a t7 throw inheritance huh

#

used that for so long lol

atomic vapor
#

yeah but now it's sadly useless when the falcon stats don't matter. +2 to skills solve so many problems

#

(and the all res is good for maps)

woeful ether
#

ms best stat

atomic vapor
#

I got a good inheritance as well and it's gathering dust

#

Makes me sad.

woeful ether
#

i like the gambling on finding a good one

#

even though i would never use it

atomic vapor
#

That middle point in the avoidance node I have 7/7 now ;P

surreal birch
atomic vapor
#

The price I have to pay for null

woeful ether
#

well yeah you wanted to max it but if you aren't maxed it's pretty worse :P but personal pref i suppose

surreal birch
#

As I said I just was kinda desperate to not get 1 shot a while ago so I went frailty

atomic vapor
#

It's one of those super binary things

#

Either useless or giga

atomic vapor
#

Evade right through him during triple flail and meteors(both red and blue meteors)

#

Evade through him during the green projectiles

#

And try not to get hit by lasers because his frailty stacks to infinity because he's a special boy

surreal birch
#

Green do you mean the ones at the start of next phase?

atomic vapor
#

Green as in the bolts he throws before last phase

#

During 2nd harby

woeful ether
#

the rooting ones?

surreal birch
#

Yeah I suppose you are right railty doesn't help me here, I meant I was using it for mapping and having to refix skills every time I swapped was driving me INSANE so I just didn't

atomic vapor
#

You can avoid most of the roots by staying at the top side of the stage because the roots start to happen at the bottom half

woeful ether
#

if you're still getting 1 shot with fraility you don't need it xd

surreal birch
atomic vapor
#

Keep in mind Mike said the black balls aren't his skill but the arena's so frailty will do nothing for those and the stuff they leave on the ground

#

And most likely the lasers from the center as well if I had to guess

woeful ether
#

i could tank the void black balls and the degens with the life on hit

#

it was always combo of the degen tick + something else that would kill me

atomic vapor
#

I just think that's a bad play if you're struggling for damage. The frailty on you goes well beyond 3 stacks

#

You stay in one you are looking at 10 or so

#

And they're multiplicative

woeful ether
#

yeah just stating. that was always desperation last phase while learning haha

#

when he regens and you're on your first uber kill you kinda go DIE ALREADY PLEASE

atomic vapor
#

Actually for falc that's not a bad thing at all because you still gain shroud stacks while he "is immune"

#

So that allows for one final big hit to push to the shield when he's damageable

woeful ether
#

not having an uber ready to do testing 😭

#

real brain off minutes

atomic vapor
#

When I did my first sub 30 kill I lost it when the bar instantly deleted after he went to the final phase, it was then that I realized the stacks don't drop because you're still hitting the target

#

Pretty broken tbh but that's on brand with the falconer anyway

woeful ether
#

huh what the heck was i doing last time i played

#

yeah the quick kills are always never let go of buttons

atomic vapor
#

And I find them more reliable than any macro personally lol

#

If there's one thing this game does right, that's frame perfect skill queuing

woeful ether
#

i love the controller skill queuing

#

best comfort and cozy

#

between that and the seamless kbm/controller swap

#

so goated you can just click when you need to

atomic vapor
#

Had an argument on global there was some dude all like "falc is piano rotation" and I'm like... No? You hold down 2 skills 😭

#

So bro goes alright imma look ur character up

#

Then goes "bro had 200 dex ofc you won't find it hard how does that translate for new players"

woeful ether
#

oh yeah you gotta keep spreading the dont press falcon word

atomic vapor
#

I'm like... You can do the same thing with yellow gear...?

#

How does 200 dex affect skill queueing my brother in christ 😭

#

It was hilarious

woeful ether
#

yeah that's silly. literally jsut show controller falconer gameplay...

atomic vapor
#

juse did a lot of damage to the minds of the average players by popularizing an ahk macro. It gives the false impression that falconer needs any skill to do the rotation

#

Meanwhile I'm holding down q and w while watching youtube vide

#

Vids*

woeful ether
#

tbf holding down buttons isn't necessarily comfortable ffor long periods of time

#

but i'm not sure it's easier to make a macro/program say "toggle key press" vs just spamming them?

surreal birch
#

LE is messing with my hands, esp holding things

#

That's why I got AHK

woeful ether
#

i highly suggest controller :^)

surreal birch
#

I think I fixed everything you guys said

#

It's moreso that calling it a "piano rotation" gives the impression that that person just throws terms around they don't understand

woeful ether
#

yeah that's fair

surreal birch
#

I am wondering if I should swap gloves to dex (losing shred) or maybe dex chest (losing 37% hp) to get over the next dex incriment?

#

2 short

woeful ether
#

can get the dex from helm, chest, or relic

atomic vapor
#

Imo swap to max throw from the passive tree+ammy and try Uber again before doing anything else

#

I'm confident that should be enough to push phase 1 fast

woeful ether
#

yeah try again first

#

quivers pretty useless

#

the slow and % more dmg against slow base is better

#

think the only real affixes are dex and shred? idr anything else

atomic vapor
#

Yeah there's nothing else

#

But 10% more is good

#

The best quiver would be dex, increased phys/cold, shred and idk a res

surreal birch
#

Yeah I've been looking for that quiver recently

#

OK tried again and got 80/100 at the end of first cicle

#

Which is deinitely a good chunk ahead of where I was

woeful ether
#

in fact this was my old quiver

#

absolute garbo

surreal birch
#

Died a bit later due to misclick but that's whatever

woeful ether
#

progress!

atomic vapor
#

Oh right that's something that rolls on quiver. Increased crit. That actually might be good because personally I need one crit idol to crit cap with 13% on dagger and shattered worlds (my peak is 275%/290%)

#

And you can only get 10% on bow right

woeful ether
#

yep

atomic vapor
#

So you'd need increased crit way more

surreal birch
#

I was previously using quiver to cap crit, but I'm capped without it

#

And a long time ago I was using it as a major source of dodge

atomic vapor
#

Do you have the increased crit blessing

surreal birch
#

Crit multi? yes

atomic vapor
#

You have crit multi there and you're crit capped??

surreal birch
#

Yes blessing + bow and a little on idols

atomic vapor
#

And 60% on ucenui

#

That makes way more sense

#

I was like whaaa what sorcery is this

woeful ether
#

i just swapped a bunch of stuff and still near crit cap lol

atomic vapor
#

How come you're still staying cold?

woeful ether
#

i'm doing some worse gear uber testing

#

and talon

atomic vapor
#

I just saw the ammy+ring

#

Makes sense now

woeful ether
#

(it's still not a dex red ring)

#

what, you don't like it?

atomic vapor
#

I'll be completely honest I think I had a better one before I did all the harbingers 😭

woeful ether
#

i should've placed my uber before clicking my gear off

#

whoops

atomic vapor
#

Omg I did. I had a 2lp pig with t7 multi

#

I was so happy about that

surreal birch
#

Killed him! First time after I phased him

woeful ether
#

🎊

surreal birch
#

Dropped 2X relics!

atomic vapor
#

Told you throw was the play ;P

#

Congrats!

surreal birch
#

Thanks

#

And thanks for all the help

#

I legit don't know how changing that few points made such a huge diference :/

atomic vapor
#

did we get a relic with good flat crit

surreal birch
#

Let me see

atomic vapor
#

we call it nolifing

surreal birch
#

Yep! 5% crit on one

#

But only +1 attr

woeful ether
#

oof

atomic vapor
#

Well, good thing is now you can farm the boss so try to get a decently rolled one

#

I suggest throw over dex slam

surreal birch
#

So do I drop the cold build once I do get it with the slam?

atomic vapor
#

Keep all of your relics btw don't throw any of them. All the 0lps get nemesis, all the 1lps you use to reroll a 1lp into good stats, same with all the nemesis ones that got a stat instead of lp

#

And yes

#

And you also drop throne and get another shroud ornate

surreal birch
#

Yeah I understand how that works

surreal birch
atomic vapor
#

Okay perfect just checking

surreal birch
#

Gonna be good to go fast again

#

I dropped movement on boots for CDR

atomic vapor
#

I was debating farming 3lp razors for movement speed but I'll be honest

#

I can't be bothered to grind that hard for something like that over something more meaningful like 2lp red rings

surreal birch
#

Trying to get 2 lp roost and razor nearly killed me and I never even did get past 1lp razor

atomic vapor
#

1lp razors are easy if you pile like 20-30 of them and go turtle

#

2lp*

surreal birch
#

My very first RR got 2 lp from nem 😮

#

And then ater farming for weeks to put something in it (which made me hate the game) it slammed meh anyway

woeful ether
#

alright time to see how shit gear we can go

atomic vapor
#

It's the only meaningful upgrade for me rn. But I'm sure even if I get one I'll miss the throw slam

#

Not that I particularly care mid season

#

I've got 1-2 months left

#

We'll see how further I can minmax

woeful ether
#

holy i have to play the game

surreal birch
#

Um I've been getting insta gibbed by a tick of that the whole time

#

lol

#

Well i I do swap to shattered relic, I lose 73% crit from relic so time to pick it back up on quiver I guess

#

Actually it gives me 4 flat crit so I actually got to 111% swapping

atomic vapor
#

Yep, never underestimate how insane flat crit is

#

And flat stats in general

surreal birch
#

Yeah I know that about flat dam

#

I just forgot it was on the relic, I've never really looked cause it felt too out of reach 😛

#

The one that rolled 5% crit also rolled 10% dr..

atomic vapor
#

if you plan to play season 3 I highly recommend doing a lot of Uber now for practice and learning the mechanics, so that in season 3 you are experienced enough to outskill it regardless of what you end up playing

#

Bossfight experience is invaluable

#

Those items will never feel out of reach again

woeful ether
#

i feel talons on crap gear is way worse than daggers

#

maybe i've also been too lazy to switch more stuff over

surreal birch
#

People told me that daggers was harder to gear?

#

But I didn't know daggers existed when I started playing

woeful ether
#

i actually had a decent near kill but didn't record it lol

surreal birch
#

I played a weird custom flurry build till about 200c cause I was avoiding guides on purpose

atomic vapor
#

daggers harder to gear? I wonder who thinks that

woeful ether
#

i'm rpetty sure i literally just dual dagger equippedd and it was better

surreal birch
#

Which stats is priority for dagger? Crit multi and pen? I see people also doing flat damage but is that for DB build maybe?

atomic vapor
#

only crit multi and pen, nothing else

woeful ether
#

i ran 1 lp crit multi slams for the longest time (still am)

atomic vapor
#

If you manage to get 3lp get increased phys or shred

woeful ether
#

2lp i would get 1 shred

#

and 1 pen

surreal birch
#

I've legit seen people 2lp slam flat damage in both hands

#

Which has puzzled me a lot

woeful ether
#

dive bomb build

atomic vapor
#

Dive bomb still does incredibly broken damage by all regards and its probably absolutely bonkers with the +1 shadows gloves

#

But I don't think it matches how game breaking umbrals is

surreal birch
#

If I did go DB then would I be able to run around without needing to cast AA as much?

#

Cause I don't enjoy how you gotta pause to cast

atomic vapor
#

Nope. Same thing

woeful ether
#

db is the auto skill. aa has the cast

atomic vapor
#

You want exactly as many dive bomb casts as you need with umbrals because in one case more dive bombs = more dusk shroud and in the other more dive bombs = more hits

woeful ether
#

oh that's what ayou asked i'm dumb

atomic vapor
#

So you'll be having the little stagger no matter what you do

surreal birch
#

Yeah I just figure with a DB build if I was out of range/not attacking for a sec to do mechs or whatever I'd lose less dps?

#

Because my core dps still in that case is still instant cast

#

I'm not having to worry about freezing myself in a beam/puddle

atomic vapor
#

No It's the other way around. If your dive bomb uptime drops for a bit for umbrals, you lose a few stacks. But if dive bomb is your main damage skills and they don't find the target, you literally do 0 damage during that time

Well currently I lose AAs when I'm focusing on living (if I need to be moving/dodging)

#

My DB never stops going off cause its macro held down

woeful ether
#

i forgot to cull him with falcon but messed up and died as i killed him

atomic vapor
#

be a gigachad and unspec it 🙏

surreal birch
#

Btw does he gain difficulty if I put his echo down on a higher than 500 corruption timeline?

#

Or is he fixed

woeful ether
#

he's fixed

atomic vapor
#

Some of the best game design if you ask me

woeful ether
#

gdi

surreal birch
#

Reading is good apparently

woeful ether
#

i'm getting decent kills with talons but also messing up at <20

atomic vapor
#

Did the maxroll guide get updated yet btw or is it still in that embarrassing state

#

I got my answer

woeful ether
#

WE DID IT

#

STILL A LITTLE SLOPPY

#

literally was too lazy to swap a ton of stuff lmao

atomic vapor
#

Yk what's funny

woeful ether
#

not even capped res

atomic vapor
#

You have abysmal life, and bad gear and it's still a very comfortable kill. No matter how hard falconer gets nerfed, I bet it will still be one of the best boss killers

woeful ether
#

"comfortable"

atomic vapor
#

With good gear ofc but still

keen snow
#

capped res isn't that important really

atomic vapor
#

It's comfortable when you've got silver shroud hard carrying your tankiness

surreal birch
#

After watching various sentinal builds literally facetank and ignore mechs

atomic vapor
#

Unless they nerf coordinated fate

woeful ether
#

i think i procced that 1 or 2 times

surreal birch
#

IDK how you gonna call a calss that fragile the best boss killer :p

woeful ether
#

i did have the first close run be played really well but this final actual kill still was a bit sloppy

keen snow
#

well, it's pretty clear that the serpent venom swarmblade is actually the best bosser rn imo

atomic vapor
atomic vapor
surreal birch
keen snow
#

seeing uberroth do his aura arming entrance and while a bunch of tornadoes get cast for setup then he's dead on the first tick on the DOT... well it just makes a mockery of the game really lol

surreal birch
#

But that reuires skill and calm control :p

keen snow
#

mana, cooldowns? never heard of her.
that side of falconer will surely get nerfed this time

#

rather than some stuff with trap mana costs etc.

atomic vapor
woeful ether
atomic vapor
#

1:30 with that gear?

#

cooking

woeful ether
atomic vapor
#

You know what's sad

#

That's your average 2lp double t7 slam erasing strike time

#

😭

woeful ether
#

classic 179 dex too

#

😭

#

i bet i switch to daggers and it's instantly better

keen snow
#

the maxroll guys have made this point a lot but there's a false perception that ES builds are dealing comparable damage to storm crows, falconer, serpent venom etc when it isn't even close

keen snow
atomic vapor
#

I feel like people have clung onto the popularity of the build on launch and still think the damage is anywhere near comparable

#

To be fair erasing strike would be doing way more dps if it had 100% uptime with maximum attack speed

#

Right now it's 100% with what, 2200 mana?

atomic vapor
#

Casual 180 dex

#

The bad gear at home=

woeful ether
#

HEY it's like all dex slams

keen snow
#

yeah ES gets to cheat a lot of mana but it doesn't get falconer levels of uptime on skills that otherwise seem intended to be combo/cooldown/mana constrained

woeful ether
#

i mean if you count that a bunch of my legs were high dex rolls, it's "closer" to 160 :D

#

falconer uptime seems like a dot build in terms of uptime but.. not

atomic vapor
#

You cannot drop below 95% mana on falconer currently. At all. The two points in dive bomb make it completely self sustainable

#

The mana bar doesn't even move on the dummy

keen snow
#

it just looks like ES is cheating so much mana with the way the bar bounces up and down

#

and compared to eg Shaman, it is getting tons of free mana

woeful ether
#

okay honestly i think it's more of comfort than daggers being better but also daggers better

atomic vapor
#

Who was it that had 2400 mana. Meru or Skylr I think

#

I gotta ask if it has 100% uptime at that mana level

keen snow
#

how do you even get to 2400?

atomic vapor
#

Double t7 mana helm, maxrolled idols, mana on gloves, mana% on chest

#

I think it's just enough to reach 2400

keen snow
#

is that 12 mana 5% regen 1x1 idols?

atomic vapor
#

Yes with mana on the second stat too. Health/mana

keen snow
#

and +20health +10 mana suffix I guess

#

so 20-22 mana per idol, 20 idols. 400-440ish mana from idols

#

yeah that's quite a lot

atomic vapor
#

And the funny thing is that at that level of gear, the dps basically skyrockets by what, 30% up? Because if you completely close the gap from the downtime the echoed erasing strikes start piling up

surreal birch
#

Dammit, I nearly 1 shot a 2nd kill but now i keep dying to random things half way through after close runs

atomic vapor
#

It's one of the more rewarding classes to minmax but

#

3lp titan is hell

woeful ether
#

wew

#

surprisingly close times

atomic vapor
woeful ether
#

took me like 10 or so attempts with talons to remember how to play a few things?

#

but yeah it gets real familiar and easy

verbal pier
woeful ether
#

the 2 biggest ones are the pause for black hole spawn and then looking out for the fire/void dot

atomic vapor
#

Don't ask for meru's gear

#

You'll get depressed

woeful ether
#

ik

atomic vapor
#

Trust

woeful ether
#

double yours 😭

atomic vapor
#

Meru makes my gear look trash

woeful ether
#

skill issue tbh

#

get better rng

atomic vapor
#

100%

#

Get luckier is my life motto

woeful ether
verbal pier
keen snow
#

there's always a few people in these ARPGs whose gear looks like they've got a save editor or something

surreal birch
verbal pier
#

its when I record but cant record the one shot one after slams because rng position

verbal pier
woeful ether
#

so....

atomic vapor
#

Wait meru why do we have identical times with your gear. That's exactly where I push it too

surreal birch
#

But you said you have to play diferently with talons?

atomic vapor
#

That's a 25 second kill right

#

Does the boss actually hard cap that hard

surreal birch
#

Also what determines when he gets 1 shot during the last phase

#

Vs having to play the mechanics

#

I thought it was the falcon talent, but it seems inconsistant

woeful ether
#

wait you can jump through the slam before it disappears?

atomic vapor
#

Yeah

#

;P

woeful ether
#

is that bc of smoke bomb immunity while moving or it doesn't damage after it goes out?

atomic vapor
keen snow
#

any good flask trap builds?

atomic vapor
#

Someone was playing a good one a while ago but I don't remember the username

#

There was a discussion

atomic vapor
#

The animation is longer than the last tick

#

Lol

woeful ether
verbal pier
woeful ether
#

i could be wrong but i recall it feeling more consistent for the first slam dmg

verbal pier
#

but I sometimes got it one shot after 64%

atomic vapor
#

Wait you can oneshot from 64 to 0 with your gear?

#

Ok that's something I can't do yet

verbal pier
#

yess

#

but its like 1/25 tries

woeful ether
#

how does it feel to farm aberroth to get these attempts 😭

atomic vapor
#

The vid you linked is where I'm at. 64 to last phase. I can't do better right now I need more throw probably

surreal birch
#

Btw i I do want to play trailtors, I can just literally get those 1lp crit multi slams and not have to care about getting a new quiver?

atomic vapor
verbal pier
#

sometimes my uber jump and its crazy

verbal pier
woeful ether
#

once you kill it you have to farm more though is the funny part

#

the initial attempts to get it to look good yeah

atomic vapor
#

I think that's what I'm missing

verbal pier
#

on my videos the uber jump, thats will make it take less dmg from explosive

woeful ether
verbal pier
surreal birch
#

What I mean is I don't need to change anything else

verbal pier
#

phantom 2 with throw

surreal birch
#

Because I'm a bit over farming atm

atomic vapor
#

Oh right you have the gloves

woeful ether
#

you need the node to dual wield but that's about all. i actually had it on the talon vid bc i was too lazy to change my passive tree

atomic vapor
#

Ughhh I need those

verbal pier
#

I need 4lp traitor:(

woeful ether
#

whats merus gloves?

atomic vapor
#

4lp traitor won't really do a lot for your dmg other than flex

woeful ether
#

perfect shadow ones?

verbal pier
#

im already at 2600 echoes now just farming for falcon

atomic vapor
#

Meru has +1 shadow gloves with t6 dex t6 throw

woeful ether
#

lmao

atomic vapor
woeful ether
#

what's funny is the fact that mine have mana is still a slight dps increase

atomic vapor
#

Time to commit sudoku

woeful ether
#

if you die in echos and still proc prophs...

#

🤔

atomic vapor
#

Foxy is right 100% skill issue

verbal pier
#

it can increase my dmg a lot I think

#

cause I dont have shred rightnow

woeful ether
#

wtfffff

atomic vapor
#

Oh ur right

#

A shred slam will fix the shred stacks

woeful ether
#

do you have a copy of that?

#

isn't blind + shred the double dagger play

verbal pier
woeful ether
#

ahhh

atomic vapor
#

Meru is like hero edited but online

#

The giga blaster

woeful ether
#

1k corr too?

verbal pier
#

just like this right?

woeful ether
#

tin foil hat of slight corruption gain = better loot

verbal pier
woeful ether
#

the rolls being good are wild too

atomic vapor
#

Meru is it you that has 2400 mana on ES or skylr

verbal pier
#

I think sky

#

I dont play ES

woeful ether
verbal pier
#

I just have all ES equip with double and triple T7

atomic vapor
#

Yeah casually

#

Ofc

#

normal gameplay gang

woeful ether
#

it's literally just drop rng right

#

no hidden farm tech

verbal pier
#

just play with friends

woeful ether
#

sus

verbal pier
#

and slam slam

atomic vapor
#

Yep

verbal pier
#

give it with obsidian if u have

atomic vapor
#

We do the exact same thing 😭

woeful ether
#

step 1 already is problem

#

😭

#

i'm at 927 comp

atomic vapor
#

Just spec into friends

#

+1 friend gloves

woeful ether
#

haven't slammed upgrades i have

#

what's full party size

#

4?

atomic vapor
#

Yk what's funny

#

4man party is literally insane for gear in LE and

#

99% people don't even realize it

#

The lfg is just Uber carries

#

If people just asked to blast together

woeful ether
#

bc 4x potential loot if you don't play same build?

atomic vapor
#

Their gear would double

#

4x loot, trove rotations

woeful ether
#

honestly why don't we blast

#

i can get your scraps

#

😭

atomic vapor
#

You'd have to convince my irl friends to leave the party 😭

woeful ether
#

triple t7 george throws on floor "not an upgrade for me"

verbal pier
#

U can get unlimited double or triple T7

woeful ether
#

i thought you had not full party

#

rip

atomic vapor
#

Yeeeah... Until recently

#

😭😭

#

I keep converting all of my irl friends it's like a cult

woeful ether
#

lmao

#

as long as they don't play falconer so you get the drop

verbal pier
#

the hardest one is getting double T7 on nihilis good roll and shattered

atomic vapor
#

One does and he has all my old gear. Killed Uber in 4 days

verbal pier
#
  • glove if u play falconer +1 shadow
woeful ether
#

nihilis has too many rolls to care about

atomic vapor
#

I wanted to quit the season

verbal pier
#

but dunno if u failed it

atomic vapor
#

Did... T3 dodge

#

I closed the PC that day

#

Went out

#

LE made me touch grass

woeful ether
#

huh

#

embed fail

atomic vapor
#

All embeds closed for this channel I think

#

Like my YouTube vid didn't embed

woeful ether
#

just leplanners i guess

#

that's true

verbal pier
#

I wonder what will happen to falconer S3

keen snow
#

keep the cooldown reduction, nerf the mana

atomic vapor
#

surprisingly I don't care what happens in general. I'm just gonna blast with whatever's good and chill.

woeful ether
#

heartseeker pivot

keen snow
#

isn't heartseeker like zdps compared to even stuff like hail of arrows?

woeful ether
#

all i know is people said it feels good af

atomic vapor
#

heartseeker needs aeonwcs' gear to not be food for high corruption

woeful ether
#

but uberwise yeah zdps prob

atomic vapor
#

Just get 4500 health on heartseeker ez

woeful ether
#

is that hs min maxer

atomic vapor
#

Yeah

woeful ether
#

imagine if they played falconer

#

new gear tier to achieve

atomic vapor
#

No need to imagine. Meru exists

#

😭

woeful ether
#

i'm saying it'ss above meru hah

atomic vapor
#

Meru should have the same gear when 4lp dagger is secured

#

That's the difference. The 4lp bow

4 LP dagger hard to get I dont care if its +1 or +2 level dex as long as its 50%++ its good

#

but already 4m fav not even 1 become 4 LP turtle and prop

atomic vapor
#

Btw Meru why do you have the dagger inheritance node I was looking at your planner the other day

verbal pier
#

what dagger? the triple T7?

#

Its when Im searching for best Affix I think

atomic vapor
#

No on dive bomb

#

The node next to the bleed one

#

30% of dagger stats on dive bomb

verbal pier
#

it doesnt important nodes, just dunno where to spent again

#

and it help a lil bit dmg for feather fall

#

for farming

atomic vapor
#

how about put it on shred until the 4lp dagger slam

#

Tunk shows 160stacks until diminishing returns

I swap my idol with shred effect
