[dire forge]

Yeah I love it when I walk into a perfectly visible purple trail in the first phase

Let's see

Yeah that looks amazing

BTW wouldn't you cut a few seconds off if you smoke bombed to second harbi to kill him faster?

[atomic vapor]

yep, I've been experimenting with this lately, because that makes me have to build up again when I get back to him

[dire forge]

That's what I'm doing usually

Oh makes sense

[atomic vapor]

so I try to trigger an early teleport to drop aerial assaults in the spot I'm standing

this time it didn't work out that well

it's not a perfect kill

[dire forge]

Still very fast run

[atomic vapor]

I'm just happy I broke the barrier, I'll get it further down with better execution

[dire forge]

BTW I'm wondering about something

But i forgot what that was

[atomic vapor]

😭

the gigachad idol setup

[dire forge]

Oh you have such idols

[atomic vapor]

(I don't have two more small pen ones yet LOL)

[dire forge]

I have a totally different setup

[atomic vapor]

I only go ornates for uber, not maps

not worth going low hp for mapping

[dire forge]

Yeah exactly

That's why I was surprised

BTW aren't shared multi 2x2 idols with armor shred effect better?

They reach up to 25% multi

[atomic vapor]

+120 from liraka 620

pen starts being better than multi when you get close to 700%

full pen idols should be better

but I don't have them

well I have 2

[dire forge]

Makes sense

[atomic vapor]

plus, I don't think 50ish multi compares to 500% increased

26 shroud stacks x 16 + 45 x 2 increased throw

ofc mine aren't maxrolled yet but I rolled a 20ish throw on both

8% umbrals obviously

[dire forge]

Yeah probably needs tweaking a little bit

Well perfection takes time

[atomic vapor]

I am fully convinced I can push it down to 1min

b tier build

[dire forge]

Don't post it then please, don't want our dear falconer to die

[atomic vapor]

I doubt it'll get anymore nerfed 😭

[dire forge]

Idk man, it currently needs so much investment that its strength is justified

But we never know

[atomic vapor]

the good thing about falconer is it scales amazingly with gear

20 more dex? one more bladestorm

more throw? all blade explosions get buffed

the way it multidips is insane

[dire forge]

Yeah I love it, diablo 2 feels

[atomic vapor]

exactly it feels synergistic

[dire forge]

It just makes sense

I just talked about it to my friend yesterday, Diablo 2 was about those sweet gear improvements which mattered

And falconer gives me those vibes

Every single throwing, phys damage point counts as well as cdr and other shit

[atomic vapor]

ragu would've loved this 😭

[flint turret]

Can't use those sadly

Siphon leeches with void dot unless boulderfist

[dire forge]

btw @atomic vapor do you have epoch points?

there's a must have MTX for our dear ladies

which i recommend you buy if u got points like asap, it helps a lot

[atomic vapor]

oh you're locked onto boulders

[atomic vapor]

LOL all ears

[dire forge]

cherry blossom smoke bomb

pure lyf hax it is

perfectly shows you the radius of smoke

[atomic vapor]

I was considering it actually

for the visual clarity

[dire forge]

it's insane QoL

trust me

totally worth it

and for me, a touhou fan, it was a must have for the reference to PCB and yes i know that reference was probably unintended

just look at this clarity

[atomic vapor]

looks unironically helpful

second \o/

[potent arrow]

this is so mental i have been running echo's for over 3 hours in the correct timelines and i cannot find Daimond Matrons, im now zoning between the temple rooftop zone in act 10 to kill that spawn over and over what the actual f

[atomic vapor]

don't use that zone

mike confirmed prophecies are affected by corruption

all those zones are useless

[potent arrow]

i understand but im not finding the mob after multiple hours

[atomic vapor]

yeah I simply don't pick those prophecies up

[potent arrow]

yeah i have learned my lesson very close to quitting the game holy shit

[frosty dune]

which stat i need to boost to make aerial assault going faster as traversal skill. Its melee or throwing attack speed ?

[bold brook]

should i keep this or keep fishing for crit?

[flint turret]

i prefer GB or CDR but consirind my idol luck i probably recommend not touching it

have you finished uber btw?

[bold brook]

no, havent yet tried it today

[potent arrow]

finding a new idol is easier to getting a better enchant 😛

[flint turret]

i have spend around 80k ember(just in echants) and didgt even get t6 on the last idol

[eager mason]

tried uber on chakram finally

its like 2:20

[atomic vapor]

what gear?

[eager mason]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/huurworld/character/Potato_Chakram

so single t7 would be like 4mins maybe

[atomic vapor]

yeah it's way better than an endgame planner

I'm shocked it's slower than umbrals

[eager mason]

also we are still missing 16% from concentration

[flint turret]

i dont believe yors or mishas benchmars anymore

[eager mason]

did you decide on dancing or normal

[flint turret]

i have better results on non dancing but im doing dancing

[atomic vapor]

did you see that vid from that chinese guy doing chakrams and deleting uber. has no planner or anything through, could easily be hacked 4lps offline

[flint turret]

i feel like its necessary for the last phase

but i cant even reach it yet with dancing

[eager mason]

if you go non dancing you might wanna get some more damage affixes

[flint turret]

i cant take a single mee if im under 5.5k ward

i cant do that

damage isnt an isue

the issue is that when i try to go in he does birning groun and jumps into it, i kite, he uses artillery, i kite again, he uses blue hole, i kite again he uses rd hole, i kite again, burning ground went off cd

[eager mason]

xdd

[flint turret]

sometimes i literally just have to kite for 1.5 min straight

[eager mason]

yeah melee isnt really fun on this fight but if you are also squishy like bd its pretty annoyingh

I think I basically went zhp on my ll kill

it was basically ward on shadow creation and my red rings werent working

[flint turret]

also that invisible burning ground with close to none telergraphing is just blergh

id say 70% of my death a due to it

damage is fine with dancing really

i can burn him down super fast when i dont mess it up

but its tough

im using smoke and dancing btw

[eager mason]

no umbral?

[flint turret]

yeah

i tried lots of combinations this seems okay

if i wasnt as bad with dancing

[eager mason]

I think its just dancing being bad

or annoying to use rather than bad

[flint turret]

i dont do enough damage wiyhout it

i can get to lats phase somehow but i wont clear it

dr from dot in neded

well, with dancing i cant even reach last so its a lose-lose atm

[bold brook]

so close

[eager mason]

Pog

[flint turret]

i legit might a need a week for it

if i do it every day for several hours

[potent arrow]

oh might have something here

[potent arrow]

ok

[atomic vapor]

love the crit roll

[rugged pollen]

bro where's your culling

[potent arrow]

thats gonna gather dust for a bit

[rugged pollen]

[bold brook]

could be Shift, but the reduced distance is nice for control

also 90% multiplier from Cascade should theoretically be enough, I just need to be better

[dire forge]

i died once at 3% edit: and it was my like 40th try before first kill this season, was tilted beyond belief

feelsbadman

[flat nacelle]

Smoke bomb traversal?

[dire forge]

check smoke bomb tree

bottom center around that

[potent arrow]

you can also equip a last laugh sword to cull

[bold brook]

i could do that, but gear swapping is cringe

[potent arrow]

hehe its hard enough as a bladedancer

[eager mason]

I actually failed the uber trying to swap to last laugh before

you have more damage vs lowlife on cascade anyways

[bold brook]

i am once again asking for the ground destruction hitbox to actually match its visual

[potent arrow]

whats this t4 loot drop as CoF 🙁

[flat nacelle]

Unfortunately it shares a cooldown with a build-specific traversal skill it seems?

[atomic vapor]

what are you trying to play?

almost all falconer setups use smoke bomb as traversal

shift has better bd synergy and aerial assault is better used with the tag turned off because they botched the traversal property

on top of it, when you turn smoke bomb traversal it gets cdr built in

[flat nacelle]

Dive bomb bleed falconer

So Aerial Assault is my traversal; drops bleed caltrops

[atomic vapor]

😔 you chose a tough one

[flat nacelle]

Ah so maybe better with decoy after all then?

[atomic vapor]

if it helps

AA drops caltrops even if it's not traversal

[eager mason]

chakram: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5h4PQZKrZc deadly aim: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Li6ys-xuyvQ

deadly was like 10secs faster

got a 3lp flames of midnight from it

[potent arrow]

the one with t6 mana efficiency instead of cascade missed :<

[stiff sable]

Anyone got any good heartseekers build this season? Other than the same one as last?

[sage canyon]

u cant make up rue cat stream on the background

[eager mason]

done with the build so might login explosive shot

[sage canyon]

im alredy blasting poe on 8 button build

[sage canyon]

mathematically chakram should be way more dmg tho hmm

but im assuming it hits 2ce on return

[eager mason]

I mean can improve both

[sage canyon]

if it doesnt then rip

[eager mason]

I wasnt playing perfectly because I know its gonna be easy

missed a lot of returning hits on chakram

[sage canyon]

ye but does it hit 2ce?

like initially and on return?

[eager mason]

yeah

[sage canyon]

ye chakram should be double dmg hmm i wonder what im missing

• deadly aim makes 4 projectiles on avarage=4x
• charkram is 2x then 2x adn 1.98x(from 7 shurikens) =8x

even if you didnt play perfectly it shouldve been noticeable

[eager mason]

oh nvm Im stupid

[sage canyon]

ye it seems like it doesnt double hit on return

so then ye its slightly lower dps

[eager mason]

https://streamable.com/60lh3f

[eager mason]

it didnt hit on some boss for idk what reason and I got confused

yeah it hits twice

[eager mason]

https://streamable.com/qvsuu2 @sage canyon

so the 100% more node is actually 60?

2x1.6x1.84= 5.888

idk if Im missing something Im going to sleep

[bold brook]

patch notes from season 2 buffed Chakram from 30% to 100%. It would be funny if instead of a buff to 100% more damage it was a 100% increase to the 30% more damage

[eager mason]

[dire forge]

@atomic vapor redemption time for me

[inner musk]

wait whats this

[inner musk]

oh damn

whats your build

i am rocking this rn

[potent arrow]

im playing shadow cascade

[inner musk]

ohh nice

[zenith bridge]

nice thx for the showcase! how did it feel gameplay wise? problem with chaks is that some of the returning projectiles can miss if the fight gets scary.

[lapis pumice]

20% on funny hydra ballista 💀

fixed a few things kill should be a matter of time 🙏

[kind atlas]

is this useful for any builds, ran out of fp so will probably abandon my attempt, but could still sell it

[cobalt mantle]

I mean, seems great for a 2 LP slam

[kind atlas]

yeah though i meant any of the builds guys in here are discussing, not sure if crit is a thing

[cobalt fern]

can I use the dagger that turns detonating arrow into a melee attack trigger the explosive trap from "Hold This", and have that trap trigger another arrow from "Arrow Traps"?

[dire forge]

nothing to spend money on 🙁

shame we can't sell favor for gold xD

[daring yew]

Sheesh I didnt realize you could cap favor

That's crazy

[toxic swift]

2lp slam for chakram, sd, umbrals, or explosive trap

[kind atlas]

ok cool

[dire forge]

yo you can xD

looks funny

[eager mason]

chakram feels safer to play but its harder because of return, ngl I also forget to dodge now because of how spammy sync is

[flint bough]

omfg i just got this drop 😄

[eager mason]

also if you are like missing shred on gear and only have it on tree deadly is gonna be better because of the amount of hits

[graceful notch]

Then imprint another 3lp

[zenith bridge]

@flint turret i read you said something about concentration being bugged? Currently leveling a new char and putting points into concentration boost my dmg. At least skilltooltip dps. Any specific skill you were using or did the dmg loss apply to all skills?

[flint turret]

How did you test it

[zenith bridge]

just leveling a char, putting points into conc and check skills like puncture and subskill SD

[potent arrow]

we checked it multiple times

[flint turret]

You have no conc, you put points in conc and the tooltip goes up?

[zenith bridge]

yep

[potent arrow]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3-p5ffvYPM

[zenith bridge]

did you always test with 8/8?

[flint turret]

Maybe they ninja-fixed it then

I'll check again

[zenith bridge]

because there was a bug with Fire and Steel passive, where only 1 point worked, but all the other 7 points didnt do anything 😅

so maybe maxed points are bugged

[flint turret]

Hmmm

I'm.pretyu sure my 1/8 didn't work either

[potent arrow]

Ragulol even saw that conc didnt improve his damage but getting hit made him lose dmg

[flint turret]

Yeah so the case was

[potent arrow]

so it was 8 points to lose 16% dmg when getting hit

[flint turret]

Lemme find it

[zenith bridge]

whats weird is, when i lose conc buff, my tooltip dps is lower than normal dps tooltip. But points into conc definitely show me more dps

i need to check later with dummies

[eager mason]

doesnt work for me

puncture lm or shuriken

[zenith bridge]

when you spec into conc your tooltip is not increasing? Why is it working for me...

[flint turret]

#🔪┃rogue message

[potent arrow]

i recorded myself hitting dummies with 0/8 and 8/8 couple of times, no dmg increase

[flint turret]

Discussion below

[flint turret]

That's the point. You get less damage when hit compared to not having conc at all

And I didn't see any damage increase while having conc at all

[eager mason]

you dont gain damage but you still lose the damage when you are hit

[zenith bridge]

the less dmg taken i share with you, i also see that. But i gain dmg for sure, at least tooltip

[flint turret]

Weird

Maybe they half-assed the fix?

[eager mason]

or maybe its bugged with another node

[flint turret]

Oh yeah

Do you have the last one?

After dodge

It gives movespeed which gives damage

[potent arrow]

now who would make a mistake like that

[flint turret]

My testing was without it to not mess my numbers up

[zenith bridge]

no im still leveling but i compare with the other 2 nodes

[flint turret]

Hmmmm

I guess I'll need to test it again

[zenith bridge]

https://youtu.be/xVi3wiHXAHY

[potent arrow]

are you a bladedancer Trickster?

[zenith bridge]

nah mm

has to be bugged in combo with another node

[potent arrow]

all 3 of us are BD's in our tests

[flint turret]

What's the number if you remove the conc at all?

[zenith bridge]

when i get hit or when i remove my conc points?

[flint turret]

Both

Are they the same

[zenith bridge]

very strange behaviour there when i get hit, numbers jumping around all over the place

lowest ist 833

when hit

[eager mason]

what if it only works on mm

[zenith bridge]

mm OP

[flint turret]

I have mm I'll try it on mm

[eager mason]

[zenith bridge]

i told you for 4 years, mm is just the best😅

[flint turret]

Why would numbers jump tho

There is nothing outside of conc affecting it

[zenith bridge]

because its last epoch 🙂

[flint turret]

Maybe you get stunned and it affects tooltip DPS?

What's going on

[zenith bridge]

i let you know when i'm testing with dummies, then i do some respec

[flint turret]

On a side note I'm so cooked on Uber with cascade bro. Zdps hs was 20 times easier

I even had worse gear on hs than on my ll cascade

[potent arrow]

U also got a BD right can u check on him as well?

[zenith bridge]

its that range playstyle and wasd making HS so good mechanically i guess

[flint turret]

Yeah

[zenith bridge]

sure i can check my bd real quick

u are all playing online right?

[potent arrow]

i am

[flint turret]

With dancing I bring Uber down to 80% and around 70% ward during his spin but I can't even reach the last phase with dancing

I get him to first harb during his 2-3 attacks after spin

But the next 2 phases I just cant

Bugs, invisible burning ground and everything else combined

Also I can't no longer stay in a red hole which didn't do any damage in 1.2 to my mm. Now it's hitting me for 5k

[zenith bridge]

ok switched to my bd, and tooltip stays the same for sync strike/cascade/puncture with conc, no matter how many points

[potent arrow]

so this bug affects BD but not MM

[zenith bridge]

can someone check with a falconer?

[potent arrow]

this is a legacy falconer from 1.2 and tooltip numbers went up with 8/8 conc

[mellow gyro]

How viable is Dancing Strikes?

In hardcore

[flint turret]

thats messed up bro

its as spaghetti code as it gets bro

the game just wont let me do uber

[flint turret]

nice hitbox bro

[potent arrow]

Got a 2lp chest, what mod next to t7 cascade lvl would u put on it Ragu? Im leaning %hp, flat hp and then dmg per shadow/mana eff with sync

[flint turret]

pretty much it

dodge % is okay too

damage done by shadows too

[potent arrow]

im not really running dodge

[flint turret]

oh well

armor % then maybe

but prefixes and hp% are the most appealing for sure

[potent arrow]

flat hp feels superweak compard to %hp

[fading hawk]

is there anyway to make hail of arrows good this season

[flint turret]

it was super good last season and now we also fave primordials so i dont see how its not the case

[fading hawk]

isnt it kinda clunky tho bc you need dark quiver

[flint turret]

after playing dancing strikes cascade on uber i cant reall ysee anything ranged as clunky

[fading hawk]

but dont you need to drop the quiver and then go and walk around to pick them up?

[wraith nacelle]

Does any one know if you can farm weaver items through CoF prophecies ? I want to try using the rouge weaver relic to potentials add some dr to low life cascade

[cobalt mantle]

Yes, at least the ones that are global drops like the class WW relics

[wraith nacelle]

Perfect, thanks for the information

[stable lynx]

cba with this game lmfao

[potent arrow]

im running some generic unique ring prophesies and im getting a lot of weaver rings, so i reckon u get the same with generic unique relic prophesies

[flint turret]

im starting to hate almost every rogue skill ngl. im so tired of shifting into a wall for it to launch you into a random direction

[flint turret]

100 attempts today only 1 got to last phase

[atomic vapor]

Is it perhaps time for you to embrace the bird

[sage canyon]

uhh your hp should be enough i think you might be just impatient with sync strike

its annoying to use it and not step into all possible shit in uber fight

[flint turret]

if im waiting for a good time i can run around for 1-2 min and not find an agle

its cooked

im legit out of ideas

like everything id going okay and then suddenly i cant deal damage for 1-2 min straight

and i either risk it or just do nothing

[toxic swift]

what about erased boots for more dot mitigation? the persistent floor dots were what gave me the most trouble last season

[flint turret]

i have 30% and 20% mitigation with dancing

its not abiyt mitigation

https://youtu.be/JQW-4ts_mRM

everything is fine until like 3-30 and then its fukked

last attempt for example

straight up no damage from 3-30 to 4-10

and watching it again i have no idea what could i do either

[atomic vapor]

It looks really hard to avoid balls when all of your roation locks you into an animation

I think the difference is just gear no? Because Misha uses an endgame planner which is far better than your ethical version

Flows better into phases

Doesn't allow Uber to do too much crap

[flint turret]

i dnt really care about balls at this point

i have 2 cleance its fine

i can stay in like 3

i cant stay in burning ground\blue\red holes

and lasersif its more than one

[atomic vapor]

Yeah but the longer it takes the more and more void beams you stack. In the end there it was balls and beams and ground at the same time

[cobalt fern]

does anyone know, can I use the dagger that turns detonating arrow into a melee attack trigger the explosive trap from "Hold This", and have that trap trigger another detonating arrow from "Arrow Traps"?

[flint turret]

3-30 timer is more than fine for the necro phase

it was even 3-8

its really frustrating i cant even get to the last phase with dancing ngl

all my last phases were without it

and im totally cooked there witjhout dot mitigation

if i was better with rhythm stacks management it would be fine

but ive been practicing it for like 3 days and i dont see any relevant improvement

[bold brook]

I GOT HIM

ill upload video soon

[flint turret]

At least someone is getting it on cascade this season

[atomic vapor]

eyyy congrats

[flint turret]

on a side note does chill even do anything to uber?

[bold brook]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-XvQpEphEM

[daring yew]

Gzzz

[bold brook]

i feel like it does, but i didnt really fight him without it

so unsure fully

[flint turret]

casually eating up multiple 3-sectors one after another

and blue artillery

[bold brook]

and thats after lowering ele res for mana regen

[flint turret]

and overhead flail

ans spinning blade

and burning ground full hit

this is crazy ngl 2.3 k damage for full frontal burning fround hit

for me its 11k or something

[bold brook]

i think Apostacy really helped, was a great suggestion

[flint turret]

even suck doesnt kill lol

and not even 10 beams at the same time

im amazed honestly

i counred at least like 15 times i would have been dead

[potent arrow]

you had the uberroth gloves and relic already for before u killed Uberroth?

[bold brook]

blossom of immortal stone for turning void into phys and then armor mitigation applying to dot

very nice

[bold brook]

Merchants Guild

[potent arrow]

those seem very powerfull for that fight

[flint turret]

if thats what it takes im pretty much fukked

im like 50%to 60% less EHP, 30% less damage and 70% less sustain

[bold brook]

ya, delayed hit damage is very good

also shattered worlds of course is nuts

[potent arrow]

dont think LL can even use the gloves as we leech ourselves out of LL

[bold brook]

prob not ya

[flint turret]

I'm 95% sure if you used dancing strikes you could just tank everything, because you kinda already did anyway. I bet you could outleech burning ground if you had extra 20% and extra 30% mitigation

[bold brook]

maybe, I haven't tried recently but there was 0 chance of sustaining mana with dancing previously (if i took the extra mana cost node), but I did gain a lot of mana sustain in between then and now

[flint turret]

You don't need extra node it doesn't affect mitigation

[bold brook]

true, maybe ill limit test that sometime

[flint turret]

This is probably the tankiest bd I've ever seen tbh

I think I need to reslam my boots from t7 cdr t5 frenzy to t7 hybrid t5 cdr

[eager mason]

yo gratz

[flint turret]

I don't need as much cdr with dancing anyway

And I'm not using shift to not mess up my stacks

[bold brook]

but no frenzy then?

[flint turret]

I'm already not using it for the most part

I tail the Uber with dancing and when I have 7+stacks I start to hold sync+dancing

And shift only when I'm finished with mana

[bold brook]

ah

[flint turret]

So there is no point in having frenzy on shift in this setup and this gameplay really

I would also like to have chains t7 hybrid t5 cdr probably

But I'm not farming this for sure

[bold brook]

%health might be better, it is for me

[flint turret]

Whatever

Dodge on nihilis wasn't the best idea for Uber too probably

Even tho it helps sometimes

Does anyone know if chill does anything on Uber

I don't have it my dancing smoke setup

And I'm not sure it changes anything either

[flint turret]

i legit can do so much damage with this shitty gear but im so bad at replcating it all the time smh

[flint turret]

okay im not tripping

they changed how silver shrouds work ACTUALLY

now it is removed regardless of your natural dodge %

it doesnt check ahnymore for your natural dodge first

so basically stacking dodge is useless for slver shroud

and it wasnt the case in 1.2

i have a video of it working

1.2 im dodging and i have silver left

1.3 i cant keep silver for once when lvl 10 enemy hits me and i dodge 85% of the time

this tottaly explains why i cant dodge shit on uber

[true zephyr]

is the shadow cascade bladedancer build from last season still reliable? im not sure how much actually changed going into this season

[flint turret]

it got better

[bold brook]

wait wtf thats actually huge

[flint turret]

i thought im being paranoid

but getting recked all the time make me double ckeck it

EGH actually gaslit me into thinking im crazy

there goes my dodge stacking for uber

[flint turret]

sorry for ping but did you know this? @sage canyon @eager mason @zenith bridge

[bold brook]

thats actually so unfortunate, wasn't in any patch notes either

[flint turret]

i wouldnt be stacking dodge othervise

[wraith nacelle]

first double t7 dagger slam hits . Hell yea

[sage canyon]

i always assumed silver go first didnt know they changed it

[true zephyr]

i found a build on lastepochtools, i can just follow it still right? i know u said it got better just making sure nothing fundamentally changed on the build

[flint turret]

depends

we got primo options and new boots

now that ive started rewatching old videos its even more weird

sometimes it was left intact but not as much as you would expect with 60%+ dodge

[cobalt fern]

does anybody know?

[bold brook]

i have not tested myself, but i see no reason why it wouldn't work

you would not get the extra flat melee damage from the dagger for the arrow from the trap though, because it wouldn't be a direct use

[cobalt fern]

that makes sense

thank you

[topaz forge]

Anyone have a good loot filter for shadow cascade bladedancer? Or where I can get one? Just started monos

[thin quartz]

rift beast in my hideout?! what a new feature

[dire forge]

@atomic vapor 1:29 new record for me

With your setup probably could go down to 1:15

there were two chances of making t7 t7 relic, both bought, both ate all FP in 3 crafts

so i had to settle with t7 t6

[scenic mauve]

hi does the node "intuitivee connection"(falconner tree) make "rushed wings"(dive bomb)obsolete ? im not sure i peerceive the nuance betwen instant cast and shorter delay

[limber rock]

Anyone experiencing aerial assault become greyed, unclickable for like 10secs when entering an echo? Idk if its bug, i tried searching seems like a bug for some players too on previous years...idk what node causes it btw...tnx

[dire forge]

Not only aerial assault, dive bomb as well, I just press keys randomly and it fixes itself within seconds lol

[limber rock]

Ok tnx...just so annoying xD

[dire forge]

Yes, something's happening but no idea what

It looks like falcon isn't working for the first few seconds after entering echo

[limber rock]

I found this note from some guys on steam

Don't use the 5sec aoe node, that seems to trigger it. I haven't had any problems with the ability since I specced out of that. I like it, but until it gets fixed I won't be using it.

I thnk thats the featherstorm node...ddnt tried myself

[dire forge]

Might be that, I mean it's not a big issue

[lapis pumice]

let's gooooooooooo

[dire forge]

2k hp

That's at least alarming

Good job tho

[lapis pumice]

i did it on pure home cook build, explosive ballista hydra bow

[dire forge]

Oh then it's totally deserved, well played

[lapis pumice]

i tried a bunch of stuff, ended up just going 220 dex & blast

[dire forge]

I'm kinda proud of myself as well for holding to original idea of UB falc tbh, people were tweaking this build, tried incorporating bleed and shit and I was out there putting my whole trust in pure crit multi and pen

[dire forge]

My friend plays hydra autobomber

Got eye cancer in around 3 seconds

[lapis pumice]

haha

it's a fun build tho

[dire forge]

For sure, sounds good

[lapis pumice]

i'll update the gear made bunch of changes

[dire forge]

How long did the fight take?

[lapis pumice]

lemme check vod

2:50

[dire forge]

Holy shit

Then some skill must have been used

My first ub kill was also around 2:30-3 mins

[lapis pumice]

hmm i made one huge change actually, going shift as traversal

[dire forge]

This season

[lapis pumice]

with dex + cdr stacking

you legit have 70% uptime of 22k dodge rating

[dire forge]

Does shift profit from dex somehow or what

[lapis pumice]

yea

4 dodge rating per dex

[dire forge]

Oh well

Oh yuge

[lapis pumice]

x all the rogue mults

u get 5 digits

[dire forge]

Yeah easily

With JQ belt it's even more

Unless you use a different belt

[lapis pumice]

this node also did a big diff, new addition to the build

then i play shift does cascade node

u proc traps for free

every 2.1s

helps with the huge mana problems

[dire forge]

I used that in like 0.9 or idk

Tried building around cascade trigger

But failed miserably

[lapis pumice]

x)

i just use it as my melee condition for the trap node

it's not much but it adds a bit

of dps

like 5 10% maybe

cuz you still proc a bunch of traps when it triggers

like every sprinkler stuff get procced by the melee trap still

[dire forge]

BTW maybe you will know, @atomic vapor is a fellow UB falc enjoyed as well and he's got ornate idols in his pure bossing setup, what modifiers might he have on them? I legit don't know what fits there, I don't remember all the mods tho so maybe it's that

[dire forge]

That's sweet

[lapis pumice]

u mean weaver mods ?

never played ub so can't rly help

[dire forge]

No no weaver

Regular ornate rogue idol modifiers

[lapis pumice]

i think u can get flat throwing from them ?

[dire forge]

Ohhh

That one I didn't know

Interesting

[lapis pumice]

it's only 3 tho 😂 from humble

so probs not that

[dire forge]

Nah not that then

Okay to hell with that, was supposed to go to sleep but gotta check this now

[atomic vapor]

Yeah ornates get increased throwing

(8 + 8) * 26 + 45 * 2 = 506% increased damage for 2 ornate idols at 26 shroud stacks while sitting still while Uber channels something (usually meteors)

It outpaces the miniscule flat from humbles but you could get a setup with pen/throw humbles and pen smalls

It won't be as good though imo

At 200 dex you get 800% increased, which means another 500% is more than half of that for only 8 idol slots

[lapis pumice]

we dodging a little

[atomic vapor]

That's only for Uber though, for maps not only is it worthless because you're never above 3-5 stacks but also because no health for mapping is death

Ragu showed above how hard they nerfed silver shroud, or rather dodge

[atomic vapor]

You'll probably end up getting it further down, this season is so stale I don't know how much more I wanna push

It's good enough for me to get the time of the most nerfed class in the season down to almost one minute

Bear which is considered op is half that with comparable gear

Not bad for a b tier class

[dire forge]

I mean I got the majority of BiS offensive affixes

Now would need to try getting idols

Also how the hell do you manage to get 26 shroud stacks

I'm sitting at max 16-17

[atomic vapor]

Sit exactly on it and make sure you have 4/4 on that divebomb thing that shortens the dive delays

[dire forge]

I do

[atomic vapor]

If you're not exactly on Uber, some divebombs go stray and you lose stacks

I think you can see it in one of my vids

[dire forge]

Hmm

I will look into it then later, currently feeling like a living corpse

Sesh was a little too intense

[atomic vapor]

I'm personally pleased by how much I've pushed, maybe I'll slow down and farm more casually or whatever

But it's a very respectable time and I think it proves the point that umbrals is incredibly strong still

[dire forge]

I wanted to show my dedication in form of woven echoes I have been grinding for the last week or so

But the file is 1.1 MB too large

Too lazy to upload to yt xD

[dire forge]

You don't need to tell me that, I'm also proud of our baby girl with her birdie still going strong

Also MG shat out a load of double t7s worth rerolling for us this season so I was stoked

Dried the supply on each double t7 worthy base pretty much by myself

Also regarding slowing down that's a very good idea so you don't burn out so fast

[atomic vapor]

It's moreso that when it comes to power level the game has an identity crisis

It doesn't know what it wants to do

Because aspirational gear is a process of jumping through hoops

Even when you loot something, you rely on a 33% roll to slam

Not many games where a loot you get is taken away from you

Combine it with the fact that the metagame for farming is the same 3 maps or so

The argument is "that power level isn't balanced, so gear grind hits a brick wall"

To which my counter argument is 1)why make Uber, and why plan for more Uber fights and 2) why are you putting hard limits to obtainable gear vs potential gear less than halfway there, in a game all about numbers

It's been stated multiple times before that ultra rare 3lps being a roll to brick feels horrible and should be a more deterministic craft

I don't wanna pull a 1/4k item and then brick it

It feels like I lost 3 days of farming

If I want to gamba 24/7 there are games for that

So on one hand EHG doesn't want us to "push that high corruption", then puts diminishing returns on exactly that corruption and not before

You ask them "what's the ideal Uber kill speed for a balanced build"

"I cannot comment on that"

...then how are we supposed to know what your idea of balance is...

and on top of it there's so many small details that I fundamentally disagree with

What even is the point of separating rift beasts from woven echoes

Why not bridge the two season mechanics if they're permanent

[tacit owl]

Hello. I am on my alt character and i would like a lvl boost. I unlocked my Monos.

[dire forge]

This is fkin ridiculous

I basically skip all the season content because of that idiotic thing

And evo end trade locked because reasons KEKW

Also rampant coast forcing you to take more steps for a single evolution's end SUCKS COCK

Thank god umbrals are alive like fr

[potent arrow]

rampant coast might be the best amber grind tho

[dire forge]

How come

Does that beast drop ambers?

[potent arrow]

1 rampant vcoast is almost 1 bag of amber from the bone merchant (5k amber)

[dire forge]

Whaaaaaaat?

[potent arrow]

maybe 3 rampant coasts is 2 amber bags

[trim zodiac]

see not so usless

[dire forge]

You buy those bags with organs right

[potent arrow]

1500 bones 1 heart 10 horns i think

[dire forge]

Or with what

Ffs

I have nearly 100 coasts

That's a lot of amber

[potent arrow]

but your normal rift beasts u gotta take horn evolutions cause that will be your bottleneck

[dire forge]

Makes sense yeah

[potent arrow]

so evolves that give Primordial Horns

and as these coasts spawn like mad its a decent imprint

[dire forge]

I mean i was farming velocyn's jaw so I don't worry that much about horns, gathered a lot

[atomic vapor]

It's only good for the primo, it's not enough amber to sustain troves

Party trove spam still meta

[dire forge]

Party trove or bust yep

I mean even 2 people farming troves will break even by a little but break

But 3 or 4 are already at huge profit

[potent arrow]

yeh not a party gamer here

[atomic vapor]

Nono

2 people is perma

Tested it

😝

[dire forge]

Yeah that's what I meant

[potent arrow]

also with ur umbral builds u kill rampant coast in 10s 😛

[dire forge]

You won't get a lot more than to sustain but you will sustain

Yeah that's true

[atomic vapor]

And everything else for that matter

[dire forge]

The only pro of that situation

[atomic vapor]

I just don't wanna rely on map imprints for no trove imprint procs

It yields what, 1 trove per 3 rampant?

kinda meh

[dire forge]

Problem with my monolith for example rn is that I have so many woven echoes placed the map starts lagging

[potent arrow]

almost 3 troves per 3 rampants

[dire forge]

And i need to finish those before resetting

[atomic vapor]

Still gotta go find them in the web

Right now we got 180 troves placed down

I don't know man

[atomic vapor]

And the irony is I don't even wanna farm that much anymore

[dire forge]

That's what I said earlier

If u push hard af you'll burn out quicker

[atomic vapor]

I wouldn't have if it wasn't gamba hell

We bricked 6 razors for my friend

Over double odds

[dire forge]

Welcome back Juse xD

[atomic vapor]

All 2/12s with 16/32 slams btw

[terse bloom]

fk poe 2 we b

[dire forge]

I fortunately hit mine with 15/32 on 2nd try

[atomic vapor]

Just wait for titan quest kekw

[atomic vapor]

I got mine 2nd try too but still

[dire forge]

I honestly was surprised you even cared about that piece of shit game xD

[dire forge]

Yeah gamba is ridiculous

[kind atlas]

was it the towers

[atomic vapor]

even juse slowed down, what's that rookie dagger. Where's my 4lp triple t7 jaw

[dire forge]

I mean even I have a t7 multi t6 pen like wtf Juse you're slacking

[terse bloom]

lack of gems and build variety rn, everyones playing lightning arrow + rod

[kind atlas]

ah yeah

[atomic vapor]

they still didn't nerf that thing

[trim zodiac]

its what they were doing in beta as well

[atomic vapor]

nice ig

They probably have the same CT as LE

[kind atlas]

its literally what eveyone has already done since 0.1 since fubgun started that and everyone followed

[atomic vapor]

[dire forge]

Vision xD

That game was and is still doomed imo

[atomic vapor]

I think I'm gonna play some hollow knight for a while to decompress

[dire forge]

And I'm in for all of that

[kind atlas]

was trading better?

[rugged pollen]

trading is much much better now

asynch trade is godsent

[dire forge]

I'm going to sleep soon, still didnt go after finishing a session in LE

[kind atlas]

hm thats good at least

they swear they are fixing towers next patch so ill try it out then i guess

[atomic vapor]

actually a good change

[rugged pollen]

and i dont agree with the "lack of build diversity" take

[atomic vapor]

How's the endgame speed. Still slower than a souls game?

[rugged pollen]

i dont think it's fair to put it on the game when it's the players that are too lazy to think on their own

and just copy shit

[dire forge]

How is respec priced in poe 2?

[rugged pollen]

tho the gameplay of poe2 is sometime very rage-inducing ngl

[dire forge]

Maybe there's the answer

If respec is expensive people won't bother to test things out

[potent arrow]

my problem with PoE2 was that it BSoD my pc

[rugged pollen]

getting knockdown when getting hit while sprinting is so fking stupid lol

idk what they were smoking when thinking of that

[terse bloom]

yeah, instant buyout and in person trade are ingame, don't need trade site

[atomic vapor]

What's the point of in person trade right now? Isn't it basically inferior in every eay

Way"

[rugged pollen]

it is

there's no point

[terse bloom]

costs gold to buy instantly out of their merch

[rugged pollen]

oh yeah i forgot that

the gold can be pretty hefty

[atomic vapor]

I doubt that's an issue endgame is it

[potent arrow]

i bought this 2300euro pc last december and they had this crash in PoE2 that was ignored for months with like 50k replies in said bug thread. So this crashed my then new pc but i could play it no problems on a pc from 2018

shit company not recognizing that crash

[atomic vapor]

tbf the ideal company doesn't exist

EHG trying to convince you wildfire is working as intended

[rugged pollen]

yeah poe2 rn is having the problem LE's been having before

performance and crash

[atomic vapor]

My biggest issue with poe2 is how trash ssf is. Having a life and trading are incompatible

[potent arrow]

i agree but a hard crash with potential damage to your pc isn't acceptable

especially with how long it was ignored

[atomic vapor]

No you're 100% correct

I'm just saying, I don't see a world without problems

[potent arrow]

the current inventory in LE is also atrocious with how its lagging

[atomic vapor]

Last used tab doesn't get saved, you need to do the janky thing with editing it

But edit settings per tab aren't saved on relog

Reverts to grey and no icon

Then in turtle gauntlet, item movement lage

Lags*

Leaves a ghost image of the item behind for two seconds

[potent arrow]

i have these 2/3 second freezes whenever im in my stash trying to compare items etc, then it doesnt recognize my shift+click to get something in my stash and instead equips the items making me have to redo skill points etc

[kind atlas]

100 per cent.

its so annoying wtf

[atomic vapor]

on the topic of shift+click

Why's that not the default item linking button combination

And it's control+click instead

What in the Freud is that design choice

[terse bloom]

missed blind

[fading hawk]

anyone playing the ballista build and how is it

[limber rock]

U may check this guy rocking up near 12k corr using ballista

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/Kartal/character/STARBABA

Hes a streamer too, kartal001

[limber rock]

Theres an updated maxroll guide for it

[flint turret]

Falconer dead btw

[atomic vapor]

I take full responsibility

[potent arrow]

they spawn quite decently, but yeah it cannot compete with what your doing

double rampant coast imprint

[winter kiln]

He's doing the confluence of oblivion exploit though, not killing actual orobyss

[limber rock]

Oh

I thought that was thru normal rank up...

[lapis pumice]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS4gtcfSaTM

uber down on the hydra bow cook 🤝

[atomic vapor]

That's surprising given how I'm sure it's considered a "rarer" woven echo

[atomic vapor]

Generally speaking this dude is a little off to put it politely. Spams their channel on global every two nanoseconds

[atomic vapor]

Looks amazing. Did they generally nerf ballista in any manner? I didn't see any changes in the patch notes I could swear it was comparable to umbrals if not faster

[lapis pumice]

don't think so

[atomic vapor]

Maybe I'm misremembering but I remember seeing tech of ballista deleting it in seconds. Not that the kill speed isn't amazing obviously

[graceful notch]

Gz, since I couldn't play with some friends, I gave up on this build

[lapis pumice]

u just need giga gear i think

everything scales it

be it prefix or suffix

crit avoidance scales crit multi

prefix scales damage obviously

just gets better DPS wise every time u get an extra LP somewhere

but i'm not too familiar with rogues, my first season as main

[primal cave]

anyone have a good fresh rogue build this season? I played a lot of Dragonsong builds last season and want something interesting again. Cant find anything on maxroll or LETools

[scenic mauve]

Dancing strike got "revamp" go gladiator oath cap melee crit proc shadow cascade and shadow dagger scale the whole thing with crit multi and go to town 2 last slot depend on ur idea the limit is ur imagination.

But I will recommend shift and maybe lethal mirage if they fixed it's interaction with crit given by gladiator oath

[kind atlas]

I just looked at his stream, the guy is dying 20 times a minute. he's rank 1 cof player tho so its ok.

[limber rock]

Yah ofc its zhp...even with tankiest build on 12k corr will get 1shot on mobs

[rugged pollen]

what a man would do for bragging rights

i bet he spends more time dying than actually killing the monsters

[flint bough]

do i need throwing affixes on a shadow cascade bladedancer to pull off using umbral blades?

[wraith nacelle]

No you don’t need throwing affixes at all your ub is just there to apply shadow daggers for free damage mostly

[flint bough]

could you let me know which points to allocate? im going to be switching to umbral blades

got it so nvm 🙂

[wraith nacelle]

The most important for most setups are the on that spawns daggers when a shadow expires and the one that applies shadow daggers after that there is a couple direction you can go with it

[flint bough]

what are the names of those passive skills?

so i can allocate points there

[bold brook]

umbral blades are often used as a mana generator in Cascade builds, in which case you can set it up to be something like this

Nightmare Dash and Umbral Remnant here being most important

with Lethal Darkness being some free Shadow Daggers damage

and Coldsnap Strike applying chill

[wraith nacelle]

If you want a full guide https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/planner/h6g6d0qs#2 this one from trickster helped get me started and you can modify it as you like after

[flint bough]

i got everything on that tree and have 3 points to spare. where should i put it?

maybe at the top left?

[wraith nacelle]

God dam I forgot how much it actually does ub just kind of goes off in the background and I didn’t think about it that much anymore

[bold brook]

you could up Cut and Leave for more Haste and bleed, or Backstab for a bit more damage

[flint bough]

?

is this okay>

okay wow this is making a big difference

thanks guys

im at 1k corruption and i had to look at the corruption for a second to see if it was really 1k because im doing so much more damage holy shit

[flint bough]

just got this! best roll i can think of!

too bad theres no good daggers listed in the MG right now...

[kind atlas]

what kinda dagger are you after?

[lapis pumice]

holy roll

[timid badger]

Hey, I'm new to LE and I kinda wanted to try a DoT bow build, is MM or Falconer better for that archetype?

[flint bough]

t7 melee phys and t6+ phys t5 phys pen

[lapis pumice]

if you really wanna use a bow, then marksman

falconer dual wield melee weapons with most builds

[timid badger]

Ahhhh, thanks. For DoTs I know poison, bleed and ignite have a base damage and can be stacked to a degree, is any one of them better or easier to scale than the others? or is it best to mix them and go for generic damage over time affixes?

[lapis pumice]

it's better to focus on one and scale it

as for power level atm i'd say smth like frostbite then bleed then ignite

from unique support strength only, after that it depends how well ur class stacks one

[timid badger]

I didn't even know frostbite was a thing, thanks lol

[lapis pumice]

marksman you would go bleed or ignite

[lapis pumice]

idk if it's possible to go frostbite on marksman but some classes have mad frostbite chance conversions that enables it, like sorcerer

on top of that the frostbite uniques are pretty strong

[timid badger]

Yah, I think bleed and physical scaling seems pretty straight forward, so I'll start trying to piece together a build around that. Thanks for the help

[lapis pumice]

npnp

[timid badger]

Does additional chance to bleed over 100% just add more stacks per hit?

[trim zodiac]

yes

if you want dot marksmen to start just puncture

its bleed but cheap to respect if you want other dot/ skill

[timid badger]

Yah, that's what I'm working with at the moment, puncture + ballista with tons of attack speed, physical and armor shred and bleed chance

[trim zodiac]

if ur running balista it counts as a minion btw

falconar has minion

[timid badger]

The way I have it specced it's just firing really fast and proccing more bleeds, not so much about the damage

[timid badger]

Does % increased Physical damage affect all physical damage (ie Bleed) or just direct hits?

[atomic vapor]

Yeah makes a lot of sense. I never touched ballista, I probably saw an offline kill

[potent arrow]

Cascade wants +melee phys damage, melee attack speed, shred (if u dont have it yet) phys pen, the t6 phys u mentioned isnt very good we got lots of increased damage already

[cobalt mantle]

All your phys (so yes it affects bleed, but not any minions you have like ballista unless it specifies minion phys damage)

[zenith rivet]

the game is trolling me 🙁

[atomic vapor]

@kind atlas monster flask kill, I was waiting for someone to post one with god gear outside of potato's push

Probably the only thing this season that hits harder than umbrals for rogue

[kind atlas]

its pretty cool build overall, bit squishy though

[atomic vapor]

It's probably as zhp as it gets

[kind atlas]

i'll try make a tankier version

[atomic vapor]

I like umbrals being basically immortal outside of when silver shroud decides to be janky

[kind atlas]

for farming i have a somewhat balanced setup, most gear is different

[lapis pumice]

BOMBACLAT DAMGE

[atomic vapor]

Your numbers are too big for anything to take more than a tick at 1k

Can go giga tankiness on chest

Or hell even a health slam on belt

[lapis pumice]

u can just go smth like ox health+flask slam & 1 red ring to fix resists

and u're good for corruption

[kind atlas]

these could hybrid health instead of going full deeps

[lapis pumice]

& 1 bee idol for summons

[atomic vapor]

Titan heart with double health just for the 40% 😭

[wide tapir]

is flurry broken in online mode?

[lapis pumice]

wdym broken ?

[wide tapir]

like it shoots faster for some reason

[lapis pumice]

ye

everything does

[wide tapir]

oh

[lapis pumice]

if u hold direction + cast

new offline feature 👍

[wide tapir]

ohhh okay it's not specific to flurry?

LOL

[atomic vapor]

if you expect a bug free game, this isn't it lmao

[wide tapir]

nah i was just curious if it was something else

[atomic vapor]

nah just spaghetti code

[wide tapir]

i wanted to start offline character but it feels like cheating lol

[lapis pumice]

it's aids for bow user

u can't hold button & stutter step

to move between casts

[atomic vapor]

play however you want man, as if you gotta prove to someone you farmed items yourself

play offline who cares

[wide tapir]

ohhh

i didn't even notice that because when i noticed the bug i kinda switched to online before i fought the bear in the tutorial lol

[wide tapir]

is not for other people really

just feels less accomplishing for myself but i'll try it out again

[atomic vapor]

go the middle path

play legacy

Season in LE is kinda irrelevant other than mg

[wide tapir]

true

does legacy have the bug still

[atomic vapor]

I haven't heard of it being in online at all but I could be wrong. I haven't logged in a couple of days I'm done with s3

[lapis pumice]

nah it's only offline mode

[atomic vapor]

that settles it then

[wide tapir]

oh wait

only reason i want to play offline is because i don't always have a connection to my ally

i'm just gonna play it

thanks for the help george and kosmik

i appreciate it

[atomic vapor]

have fun blasting

[crimson latch]

build?

[kind atlas]

acid flask

40s uber kill in video shoutout channel

[crimson latch]

link :V

as falc?

[kind atlas]

yeah falc

[crimson latch]

i have glove 2ble t7 throw, thanks god i saved them haha

[kind atlas]

ill try a bd version soon though

we think bd is possibly more dps

[kind atlas]

https://youtu.be/B1VbP4S4LL4

[crimson latch]

u use truesight

[kind atlas]

yeah

[crimson latch]

amazing

i have a 2lp Truesight

[kind atlas]

orange numbers are cool

same, i didnt slam it yet

[crimson latch]

which would be the 2nd affix to slam?

[kind atlas]

fire res

but i'm trying to make one where even a failure will still be something

coz all 4 stats are possible dps

throwing/fire/crit multi | fire res/ele res

[raw wharf]

What do u guys think about this DPS ? - lv 75 lots of room for improvment

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDRjIOsN9qs

[lime holly]

How is doing monos with that acid flask setup

Looks squishy for that

[flint bough]

for subzero intrusion in the umbral blades passive tree isn't meant for damage right? it's more for the freeze?

because i have no gear that gives more cold damage

[potent arrow]

its for chill debuff which is something u want

[kind atlas]

yeah it's squishy, there are some defensive options though which help a lot. pale ox with bees on flask idol and seed helm, you can face tank everything as long as you kill fast

[dire forge]

@atomic vapor 1:15, i'm not pushing further

too expensive upgrades

nearly impossible

[flint bough]

do good daggers for lp3 traitor's tongue get sold immediately or something? I can't find a good one

[dire forge]

might be

very hard to find a good dagger base

i had to settle with t7 t6 personally

on velocyn, traitor wasn't even a possibility to roll properly

[kind atlas]

i settled for 2lp.

but a trick you can do is buy out the 0 and 1lp ones wtih 13% and +2 (and implicit if giga sweat), then turtle then and egg and hope for the best

i got a 3lp doing that

a 2lp with perfect rolls is better than a bad 3lp anyway, and you can just brute force a double t7 which gets the important things on there. unless it's your only source of shred

[dire forge]

shred is fkin with me hard so i for example must have 3lp with shred

dodged on both amulet 2lp and gloves 3lp while trying to get it

[bold brook]

you can also buy a dagger with 2 t7 prefixes that aren't great and then imprint it to get more double t7s

then use rune of redemption to reroll them

[flint bough]

is there a guide that could go into more detail? I'm not great at crafting other than the basics

[bold brook]

rune of redemption rerolls exalted affixes on an item, for example t7 increased cold damage might turn into t7 added melee physical damage. the affixes do not move (exalted prefixes stay prefixes, suffixes stay suffixes)

so by buying and imprinting a dagger with 2 t7 prefixes your imprints are now more likely to drop more daggers with 2 t7 prefixes. you can then reroll those prefixes to hopefully get what you want

this dagger I bought a while back

it used to have garbage exalted affixes, but I got lucky with the rune of redemption

I now imprint it whenever I need a new dagger slam

[flint bough]

so can you pick which t7 to change?

[bold brook]

the daggers that drop from the imprint might not have the double t7 flat, but if they have 2 t7 prefixes I use the rune of redemption

[bold brook]

redemption rerolls all exalted affixes

[flint bough]

and it also costs forging potential right?

so it might be trial and error and might need to buy more?

[bold brook]

it does cost FP, and is trial and error, but if you imprint you can get more to drop without needed to buy more

or you can just buy more if you got the funds and dont want to spend the time

[kind atlas]

if you are buying an exalt to imprint, make sure the fp is high

[ember surge]

for hydra arc build what stats are best on chest? +2 max ballista with 40% ballista attack speed or armor shred with dex/ hp % t7? usure of stat priorites for slamming. this is the build ive been referencing. are the idols good or not really. https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/ApZD4vkB

[lapis pumice]

dex & max hp

if u have extra lp go phys res to free some idol slots

ideally u want 0 phys res idols while keeping 75%, because phys res idol's prefixes are quite bad, you'd rather stack cold pen + cold res idols

ballista attack speed is completely useless since u don't revolve around them staying alive & attacking

got a more recent video on the channel where i updated some gear btw

but setup is still not 100% ideal, i have some bow% & cold% affixes that would be better being either minion damage% or crit multi, it scales a bit better

& gloves megabad still, ideally gloves would be ascetic base with T7 dex - minion damage - hybrid hp - crit avoidance (or armor shred if u don't get it on helmet) - sealed frailty chance, or even phys or cold res suffix & swap belt out for jungle queen actually

or even dex mortal vise/ravenous void wouldnt be bad if u want to be more tanky

[violet ledge]

Just dropped an LP4 Jelkhor's with near perfect rolls

Do people play it?

Cheapest one on the market is 460m but idk if anyone buys them

[lapis pumice]

not very popular no

used to be completely broken until the build was obliterated by nerfs

[dire forge]

460m for jelkhors KEKW

somebody just decided he's gonna mess around and add one zero too much xD

[kind atlas]

46 is a stretch

maybe 4.6

i wouldnt buy it for 460k

46k i'd think about it

4.6k i'd buy for sure

[mellow gyro]

How would you rate the passive node where you reduce dodge on rares/bosses?

[lapis pumice]

i don't think bosses can dodge unless their map has an affix that says it

the boss that matters, uber abby can never dodge for instance

or have increased health, enrage, all these map affixes

shades can i think ? & timeline boss i'm not sure

[mellow gyro]

So not really worth it?

[dire forge]

Reducing something that doesn't really exist unless you force it on an echo is not worth it imo

[dire forge]

Yeah if that piece of shit had dodge I would do bad things xD

[atomic vapor]

That's more or less what I expected it to cap at

The funny thing is, and I know this isn't absolute numbers since uber isn't a static health pool

My last season's record was 13 seconds

1:15 is 75 seconds which is around 6 times slower

I used to get to 220+ dusk shroud stacks which was around 2500ish more and 3200 or so increased

So while the damage is around 10 times up, give or take, uber not being a static dummy means there was room for optimization over an instant delete button to take advantage of his mechs and push the timer down

Also the prim dagger partially made up for the dps loss since we do get a tiny bit more from movement speed

"tiny" for falconer standards

Ofc this is super super napkin math with massive room for error, but it's still an indication that while they dropped the damage down to a tenth from dusk shrouds, it's still a competitive time

Speaks of how unbelievably cracked falconer was

Juse uploaded a vid that shows that even though the more dmg from dusk shroud is capped, the increased dmg from idols still isn't, which is what I said earlier this season. Ofc it's nowhere near impactful but it means that you could theoretically get a +2 max shadows glove and drop the prim dagger and get more DPS from idols

Juse's setup uses sync strike for 5 shadows like last season but that's obviously not permanent 5 shadows

[dire forge]

Holy holy, wall of text, let me read

[dire forge]

Thing is I despise sync strike, that skill induces rage in me, I don't have an idea why but it is like that and I can't help that

[atomic vapor]

It was great in season 2 because it allowed for a fat shroud boost. Nowdays it's debatable whether it's better than falconer's mark

[dire forge]

Also did 2 or 3 runs with a LB RM with those set synergies, uber went down in 1:10

Guy had 300+ cast speed and insane gear tho but damage was dealt equally by us

[atomic vapor]

The amount of shroud stacks each shadow falcon generates was slashed down to 1, meaning that 5 falcons are now way less valuable than it used to be, even if you disregard the cap on more damage in the umbrals tree

[dire forge]

I don't even use 5 shadows in my tree, got 3/5 in shadow falcons

[atomic vapor]

So while more dusk shroud stacks does give more inc% from idols, I don't think sync is worth due to them not being permanent

You can't use 5 without sync or +shadows gloves

Your falcons can't be more than your shadows

[dire forge]

Oh right

So pretty much we'd have to give up li'raka

No way I'm doing that shit

[atomic vapor]

Yes but a good +2 shadows glove with purple throw should largely make up for that

[dire forge]

After spending so much on them

[atomic vapor]

But then you'd be giving up your dagger

Also it's extremely limited in usage because you can only take advantage of it on Uber

[dire forge]

Actually imo velocyn loss isn't such a big deal and it opens possibilities of another 3+lp traitor

[atomic vapor]

For mapping dive bomb is basically decoration

[dire forge]

Yeah exactly

For mapping dive bomb just happens and everybody ignores it

[atomic vapor]

Velocyn is +1 umbral, 40 pen and a lot of more from movement speed if your dex is sky high, it's not negligible at all

[dire forge]

Oh crap

I forgor about pen

[atomic vapor]

But losing velocyn and lirakas for 2 shadows is something I'm not convinced about

[dire forge]

Me neither tbh

[atomic vapor]

Again it's only for Uber

[dire forge]

Yeah exactly

[atomic vapor]

You don't have shroud on mapping

[dire forge]

And it's for what, 5-10 extra seconds?

Useless imo

Can't imagine reapplying my skills each time I took my velocyn out and replaced it with a traitor

I'm already doing enough effort by swapping idols

BTW @atomic vapor do you know if YouTube studio can remove sound from videos? I accidentally recorded this 1:15 run, randomly turned obs on and it was this time when I managed to down him so nicely

But i forgor to mute my friends who were talking about weird things

[atomic vapor]

I haven't the slightest clue because I just record them muted prior 😭

There's probably a way, I mean it's YouTube it has to (copium)

can split audio & video, then u export without loosing quality

u can use free trial on stuff like clipchamp too but you're gonna loose video quality if u don't pay
