[mint forge]

Does anyone know what time the arena rewards roll over?

[minor kindle]

Do you mean the first affix when it opens?

[mint forge]

yea

[minor kindle]

Refresh every day, but I'm not sure about the exact time

Because every refresh is when I sleep😅

[wary lake]

guys can you suggest me a build

i like fast melee skills with big aoe

like sweep from POE

[shrewd rampart]

barbarian go "HURRR"

but honestly, go void knight with decimating strike... i tihnk...

[wary lake]

or maybe somethings like flicker strike

[shrewd rampart]

forgot 🙂

[wary lake]

or maybe maybe something like righteous fire?

[shrewd rampart]

not sure what that is since i havent played sentinel in a long time, but a really good thing about this game is you can pretty much pick any ability you have to be the core of your build.

[wary lake]

oh i found a good one

shadow cascade blade dancer

[hollow pelican]

It's 12:00am UTC, or 0:00 UTC I think is the more correct term.

[balmy current]

'cept UTC isn't a timezone

GMT is a timezone....

[native sail]

UTC is afaik the successor to GMT and also is written in the second format they posted, so they aren't wrong.

[wary lake]

so im making a shadow cascade bladedancer build but i need some help

i dont know how to build too much

im thinking to go and max umbral assault for my shadow cascade build, dont know is it worth to focus on full damage

whats the point of going beyond %100?

[brittle atlas]

more stacks per hit

any chance to apply ailments over 100% is chance to apply additional stacks

[wary lake]

is it worth having shred chance from different skills

like having 3 different skills that shred

[brittle atlas]

depends how quickly you hit, you might need all 3 to max out on shred stacks (20) or more than one might be overkill

[hollow pelican]

Wow, you are just incredibly pedantic aren't you? First of all, they didn't ask for a time zone, they asked for a time. Second, UTC is a time standard, it's independent of time zone.

[shrewd rampart]

lets be nice...

[balmy current]

But a time without a timezone is meaningless in a global society. So, did they mean 12am in the UK, Japan, somewhere in the US, etc?

[hollow pelican]

https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=the+time+utc

But surely you know better, after all you are the official Last Epoch forum police.

[balmy current]

What countries are in/use UTC?

[hollow pelican]

You're missing the point, UTC exists independent of time zones as I already said, as well as being a basis for time zones.

[copper fable]

Time is relative so no matter what time someone gives you, you need to do math basically. Atleast as an american UTC is quite annoying for me because we hardly use it for anything. So if a time is posted in utc I have to go look up what time it is relative to me anyways.

Time is annoying

[balmy current]

I know the point you're making, I just disagree with it. UTC is the name for the co-ordinate system (like X, Y, Z) not a point on that co-ordinate system & that bugs me 'cause the two are not the same thing. I just can't think of another example of why.

[floral badge]

Oh, it’s the “UTC isn’t a time zone” conversation again.

[native sail]

Exhilarating, is it not?

[floral badge]

My life would be so much easier if everyone could schedule meetings using UTC. And no, I’m not joking. Time zones and DST is apparently black magic for some people.

[native sail]

Personally I hate DST, it screws me up for like two weeks when they switch

[copper fable]

I mean if the world could run off UTC life would surely be easier, but good luck convincing everyone to change how they view time. when its "01:00" aka 1am but sunny out people gonna be confused.

Also yes, I live in one of the few places in the states that does not use DST, and it fucks me up cause it means my time difference to places changes throughout the year

[dire mist]

its even better that each states DSTs arent even at the same time

[native sail]

What a cool system

[floral badge]

Yep. It doesn’t affect me in the slightest. It just affects everyone else who doesn’t realize that MST and MDT are two different time zones, so if you’re scheduling me for 3PM MDT and tell me 3PM MST, I won’t be at your meeting when you’re expecting me. lol

[balmy current]

That is bizarre.

Though to be fair, our school half terms aren't all aligned in the UK. So my niece (a teacher up in Birmingham) has her half terms the week after my kids'.

[rancid lichen]

Hello, thinking of buying this game. Is the story already finished? I know that multiplayer is coming, but what else is not finished yet ?

[mint forge]

Story is missing 1 or 2 acts

It's still good though

[rancid lichen]

cool

[mint forge]

In LP you have a base class then 3 mastery classes, some base classes only have 2 at the moment

Theres more than enough to keep the game worth playing though

[rancid lichen]

I was liking grim dawn but I think that the graphics are a bit outdated

[rancid lichen]

nice

[dire mist]

what country that?

the aus ones are totally misaligned since we get 6 weeks off for our summer w/ 3 some 2 week breaks between each term

makes for fun coordination when each state is a week apart from the rest

[balmy current]

UK, hence my issues with "but UTC is #totes a time zone"

[wind night]

anyone else feel like marksman kit is kinda awkward? like not enough differentiation between the offensive skills

it's like.. for aoe you either take detonating, or hail, or multishot... and then for single target you either take flurry or puncture

and then you basically need shift and decoy for utility

[sharp quartz]

I expect this may be because its missing a mastery class ... Mike mentioned something about each group of classes having about 27(?) total skills... so Rogue is missing more than a few.... Maybe this will open things up more than it is now....

[wind night]

ah.. makes sense

yeah im not even sure how to describe it, but it just feels weird

[sharp quartz]

I suppose when comparing to Sentinels with an almost full compliment of skills, it does feel a little restrictive....

[wind night]

i expect ballista makes more sense once falconer comes out and you can actually go for minion stats

at the moment that also feels like an odd one out

[marsh maple]

if you want to see a unique marksman build, I did just finish shadow dagger puncture

which does not play like the other marksman archetypes

[wind night]

link

[marsh maple]

also there is decoy bomber too

[marsh maple]

https://youtu.be/4z97EuGANk0

[wind night]

also since you seem to be good at this stuff, reckon you can outline a build based on Night's Descent puncture?

bottom left node

that might get me my "hit hard" fix

[marsh maple]

Nights descent?

id have to go look at it

[wind night]

charged up punctures synergising with black arrow

[marsh maple]

oh charged puncture is bugged rn

id ignore it for now

[wind night]

oh ok

[copper fable]

Well sentinel is also lacking some, paladin for instance lacks one skill, and has one without a tree. leaving paladin to have sigils, holy aura and judgement only.

I think what makes some classes feel better then others or more complete is options for buff/support skill mix ups.

Mage has the rogue problem too, every build is gonna have flame ward and probably teleport, and many are gonna run focus too especially sorcs. This leads most sorc builds to feel extremely samey because you dont have many choices to spice it up, you have "big nuke, little nuke and the three utility spells"

Edit: to add onto this look at Forge guard, forge guard gives non forge guards shield throw, and manifest armor. thats it, so your options to splash into FG is basically nothing if you dont plan to use MA.

[wind night]

i went marksman to feel like a bigboi sniper, fat damage from longgg range

but somehow along the way i went for atk speed and bleeds so now i feel like im using a machine gun

so bad at this game

[sharp quartz]

Yip... thats why I said "almost".... iirc Mage is the oldest set of skills that havent had a rework so I'll reserve comment on then - I think its a given, they need and will get a once over..... FG of all the Sentinel masteries is in an odd place right now and I agree, it only really has one great build (MA) variation right now - everything else just seems meh...

[copper fable]

Primalist feels the best to me even with the poor state of shaman, cause he has lots of procs and lots of ways to change skills to do different things. And naturally because of the companion systems you have options to spec into for friends to buff or help do damage.

[sharp quartz]

If you wanted that kind of Marksman, then I would recommend the Cold Bowmage - it does exactly what you describe - been playing it from lvl 90 to 95 so far and it generally makes mobs explode from afar.... changed from the multishot to detonating arrow version (lizardIRL build guide on lastepochtools) and it really does well so far - even without legendaries & only 50ish dex...

[copper fable]

I think he means "one shot one kill" type situation which bow mage is not. But the game just does not really do it that well currently on any build outside of like 1-2

[sharp quartz]

I rolled a shaman as my first primalist... the poor bugger has been chopped and changed so many times he is having an identity complex.. dont want to do the spriggan build but everything else is just so lacklustre for me... I wanted an elemental chonky boi slamming his 2h down and making the mobs jump around... but everything is so underwhelming... and totems seem required...

[copper fable]

sammeeee

I really like the totem playstyle but I hate that the best totem build is behind a core druid mechanic that just does totem casting better.

I also love storm totem and it sucks so bad. 😦

Shaman needs a full on overhaul he is a selfcasting class, but his ability to do so is extremely lackluster.

[sharp quartz]

One-shot one-kill... hmm... my underspec bowmage is pretty good at one shotting... the procs from the lightning tendrils mean that I am firing off the icicles at crazy rates so a single detonating arrow one shots most things (with about 3 hits at a time)... am doing lvl 100/100 echos - dont plan on pushing it till I min/max a bit more but it is working well...

[wind night]

actually now that we're talking about it, that would be my wishlist for mastery

mastery skill: does like 1000000 damage, but only hits one

name it like.. titan slayer, or whatever, ya know

nodes are like... bleed/poison/shred/everything -> converted to damage

lmao

[sharp quartz]

Shaman... I think my problem is also that I am not sure what its meant to be so I am struggling with it as a concept... its like a spellblade but not, like a sorceror but not... Avalance Spell & Earthquake Melee... Other skills like Maelstrom seem to suggest they are Shaman (passive link) but then Druid (all the forms)... Anyway... I am confused about Shaman...

[copper fable]

yeah i feel like some things that were "shaman" got moved over to druid in its big revamp. So maybe in the eventual shaman patch it will be completely different.

[brave ibex]

Pen is additive with res shred right? Like if an enemy had 5 stacks of Shock and I have 15% lightning pen, it's 40% total?

[marsh maple]

yes its additive @brave ibex

[spare pewter]

How is it bugged?

[marsh maple]

If you hold it down it will accidentally cast twice

[devout yarrow]

whem i equip salt the wounds,the crit multiplier goes down instead of going up,why?

[native sail]

I think it's because it converts part of it into bleed/poison effectiveness

[devout yarrow]

thank you,i tought it was a soft convert

[native sail]

I believe they word that differently

[hollow pelican]

@marsh maple I believe it also costs double mana if you have the 15 mana cost node, but that might just be the same issue.

[tired drift]

Hey, I'm testing out using a controller, is there a way to instantly transfer an item from inventory into the forge's crafting window? I tried using the button which transfers between inventory and stash, but this only drops the item when I have the crafting window open

[balmy current]

Not sure that's bugged, it's just releasing the first one as it reaches the max duration then starting to charge another one but you let it go "early".

[balmy current]

Yeah, that's likely the same thing (since it's casting it twice it's charging you twice).

[spare pewter]

I’ll make a note about asking if it’s actually bugged or not, regardless it does feel odd to use when this interaction happens. Maybe we can do something that makes it feel better.

[balmy current]

Yeah, not sure what though. Would it feel better to only charge & release once at the end of the duration then you need to release the button & press it again for another Puncture?

It's always been like this & I'm not sure changing it would make it feel much better.

[brittle atlas]

Could just let you hold it forever and cap the charge bonuses to the current max? So it only fires when you release

[marsh maple]

^ that would make it way more intuitive

[copper fable]

you could also add a node behind it split off that allows it to release when fully charged as an option if you still want that choice.

But I do think releasing when fully charged is mega awkward.

[dry narwhal]

where do you mean by ruined temple @worn shard

[balmy current]

Have you tried getting Steam to verify the game files?

[sinful wedge]

Co-op when ?

[balmy current]

!multiplayer

[ripe brook]

Multiplayer's still in development. Here's the latest news: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/official-last-epoch-multiplayer-faq/42036.

[balmy current]

Not before September.

[sinful wedge]

within this year ?

[native sail]

Probably

[acoustic thicket]

If everything goes well yes.

[native sail]

Unrelated, Jovy is my older brother's nickname

[sinful wedge]

I bought the game yesterday and imagine beating boss with friend would be fun

[native sail]

Probably is, unfortunately I don't believe the testers are allowed to talk about what they've been doing so we don't have much on the exact state of it/how it is, but progress is progress still

[acoustic thicket]

yeah, with the requirement of an NDA, they won't be able to say anything

[cold plaza]

I get a strong feeling the so call "4 LP Ravenous Void" it just an PR illusion to get new and old players stick to this game. I'm not surprised this game still in alpha stage 2 years later.

[native sail]

[hollow pelican]

Imagine getting an item so good you have to quit the game/

[errant dawn]

is this another wrong tooltip? thats not what regular time rot does

not only that but i never apply time rot either

[native sail]

Might be one of those ones that uses the same name for two different things, I think there was another case of this recently

[errant dawn]

yeah time bubble's void damage taken

reported it seems like vk has a few of those

atleast the attackspeed works, hopefully the echo chance does too lol

[native sail]

Probably the right course of action. iirc the names in game and the names in the actual code are all different so it's probably just a mix-up while implementing it? I'm no dev I don't know what happens I just make guesses and assumptions

[hollow pelican]

Time Rot used to do that I think and only stacked up to three times, they changed it one or two patches ago. Just forgot to update the tooltip I guess.

[errant dawn]

yeah figured

bad for anyone trying to up their time rot chance i guess cause its not even working at all right now, doesnt matter for me though

[hollow pelican]

It's not applying time rot at all? Are you sure?

[errant dawn]

yeah not a single stack to be seen ever

and im very high attackspeed rive

[hollow pelican]

Huh, that sucks

[runic arrow]

why so hard to get any shred res from blessings(( any have same problem or its just me with my lucky

[shrewd rampart]

well...

which blessing @runic arrow ?

taking "ending the storm", lagon's timeline, as an example, this is the loot table:

assuming you have 4 slots, the first one will always be one of the three above

your chances of getting the shred in one of the remaining 3 slots is about 30%

so... good luck ❤️

[minor kindle]

Oh, where is the source of this image, it looks great 👀

[shrewd rampart]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/timelines

[minor kindle]

Ah, I see, I used to think that the categories here didn't mean anything else. Thanks for the answer :D

[shrewd rampart]

👍

[runic arrow]

Light res, I have all shred allready… but this one want fck my brain

[sleek trench]

OK I've tried to do as much self research before asking this fairly annoying question... I see that 0.9.0 is when multiplayer is going to be launching, is there an ETA on that? I played a bit of Last Epoch in the past but wanted to give it a try with my wife, so this feature is needed to do so. I don't mean this question as to rush development - take your time for sure. Just hard to find a specific answer to this quesiton.

[lunar holly]

omg it's Dia! 🤯 no date for 0.9.0, next patch (0.8.6) was supposed to be released in September but it will be delayed a bit so we can get MP beta (0.9.0) instead, so most likely sometime after September

[candid edge]

hi guys, got a new computer and re-downloaded the game, now my option is not showing correctly, what should i do...

[raw fern]

Delete the le_graphicsmanager in the https://support.lastepoch.com/hc/en-us/articles/1260805163370-The-Graphics-ini-File and start the game

Related topic: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/video-options-option-a-b-c/18714

[candid edge]

thanks for your quick reply, it works

[brave ibex]

This is only % increases I guess and doesn't include flat bonuses e.g. +5 Spell Lightning Damage?

[copper fable]

nope its just increased damage

[sleek trench]

@lunar holly thanks!

[toxic saffron]

Is there going to be legendary potential for sets? Seems no one use them high level…

[midnight timber]

Not yet... but we can hope 🙂

[toxic saffron]

What’s the best boss killer build atm?

[olive tinsel]

The devs said they will most likely not add LP to sets and rather want to make them stand out from uniques in other ways.
But they will definitely touch sets in the future and nothing is 100% decided yet

[cold plaza]

+1 for this. I love the Ferebor set. If the Devs use that set as a standard for future sets, I think it'll be a good decision. Things like tier 8 intelligence on a set ring? Armor on a ring, where you can't otherwise get flat armor? Awesome.

[minor kindle]

If you have to ask "the best", the answer is likely to be some balance-breaking builds that can kill T4 Julra in five seconds🤔

[copper fable]

I like the idea of shifting set power from 3 to 2 piece like they did with zerricks. The new lich set is also fantastic both pieces are good stand alone and the set has some fun niche uses.

[rancid lichen]

does it affects my totens/minions?

[minor kindle]

Generally not

Unless it says the minion can benefit from players crit bonus

And this is flat crit, the impression of the Ballista can only benefit from the player's crit inc bonus, not sure is there some special minions that can do it

[balmy current]

No.

[errant dawn]

how would i got about farming exalted or high potential void blades, the sword monolith mostly seems to be for unique/set weapon items and such, exalted sword nodes show up pretty rarely

[sharp quartz]

Dont think you can specifically go for void swords... but you can increase sword drop rates through blessings and running empowered monoliths at higher corruption will improve the overall chance of getting exalted items.... You may also get lucky and Temporal sanctum might have an exalted sword modifier on the maps (but this is rng so you'd have to check each session)... I suppose the other dungeon rewards might also help, but I havent had much luck with them for this kind of specific grind....

I dont think there is anything you can do to get more Sword echo reward nodes...

[errant dawn]

yeah figured

dungeons is mostly exalted weapons as a general right, never specific type

unless you were to buy just swords off the gambler

[sharp quartz]

Temporal Sanctum can have specific exalted drops which is nice if you are lucky on the RNG - lots of people like farming it for the exalts... I find I am just as lucky running 200-300 corruption monos tho....

[errant dawn]

void blade is kind of a pain in the butt too cause potentially have to reroll implicit values as well which also costs potential and the variance is so high

guess realistically i should settle, id only really gain a lot with an exalted one that also has exalted void or attackspeed really

[sharp quartz]

I find a similar issue whenever I try for very specific gear like this... not just the void sword... but i just create a filter and forget about it honestly.... sometimes you get nothing for a while and then you run one dungeon or mono and the things drop like flies...

[errant dawn]

i pick up a lot but often you kinda have to disregard half of them due to either multiple bad mods or low potential / bad implicit roll

its a lot worse than other bases

so maybe i got lucky

on that dungeon note.. i guess the game isnt online yet can you reset dungeon drops via logging out? is that what u meant by per session?

[sharp quartz]

If I recall they change each day... no idea if anyone has figured out exactly when or based on what criteria or if its specific to your local time... I know I have gone to the Sanctum in the morning and it had the same mods later in the evening that same day but had different ones the next day...

[errant dawn]

ah alright

[hollow pelican]

Yes, we know when it changes, it's 0:00 UTC https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone/utc

[sharp quartz]

Cheers

[balmy current]

Or as sensible people say, 0:00 GMT.

[brittle atlas]

I prefer -5:00 GMT personally

[native sail]

Is it time to argue over which universal coordinate is being used again?

[sharp quartz]

why am I all of a sudden picturing someone poking a bear... again... 🤣

[brittle atlas]

[balmy current]

Yes, but somebody else started it by being wrong.

[balmy current]

Depends which end of the stick you're at.

[native sail]

We've already proven that using UTC isn't wrong, but go off I guess

[balmy current]

And you're allowed to be wrong, it's ok, we still love you.

https://tenor.com/view/friends-joey-tribbiani-matt-le-blanc-chandler-bing-matthew-perry-gif-3576907

[native sail]

By definition and application of UTC the only wrong one is the one insisting that using UTC is wrong. Which is you. Have a good day.

[balmy current]

'Cept there are no countries that use UTC as their timezone at any point in the year, and given I live in one that would if it were a proper time zone, rather than a coordinate system, surely I'd know?

[outer ledge]

Hey, iam a New Player its here maybe a german dude that i can ask some question about the game?

[acoustic thicket]

that's because the countries don't need to have a time format that works for everyone in the world. they use time zones because they are more convenient for the individual when not trying to do things that involve the rest of the world.

[balmy current]

@olive tinsel @viscid musk @neon geyser are your people to ask

[balmy current]

So why does the UK use GMT rather than UTC?

[acoustic thicket]

because GMT was standardized before UTC, and UTC replaced GMT where GMT was used previously

[balmy current]

But if nobody uses a thing can it be said to have replaced something else?

[acoustic thicket]

It's not countries that use it. it's businesses and international organizations that use it.

because you need something to organize time on a global scale

[balmy current]

And surely Deias "if people use a thing then it's correct" argument comes into play here?

And apparently they can't use something like Outlook that automatically adjusts for timezones.

rather than coordinate systems

[acoustic thicket]

I mean, UTC was a thing before outlook was even out

[balmy current]

nobody used it then either

and I think governments rather like organising things as well

some of them even stretch over multiple time zones, so I've heard.

[acoustic thicket]

just because something isn't used in your everyday life doesn't mean that nobody uses it. it's used by computers to standardize their time, and is used by programs like outlook to convert times between timezones for you.

[sick yacht]

I work in aviation, literally everything is done in UTC

[native sail]

No no no guys we're wrong he's right just because he uses it despite demonstrable evidence that it is used often 👍

[cold plaza]

Hey does anyone know how to swap my computer over to Dvorak time? I heard it was more efficient and I'm in a time crunch

[quasi hatch]

Llama must've been the grand time keeper in Greenwich and is upset that UTC displaced his precious GMT, else I can find no reason for someone to be so pedantic about something that literally everyone else in the world understands.

[midnight timber]

its a treaty item in the Brexit agreements 🙂 everyone has to switch back to GMT worldwide 😉

[balmy current]

No, I'm just that pedantic & can't let things go, just ask my wife.

[floral badge]

British Summer Time (UTC+1) starts at 01:00 UTC (02:00 CET, 03:00 EET) on the last Sunday in March, and ends in October, so... You currently aren't in GMT or using GMT. Assuming the reset does actually take place at 00:00 UTC (I have no idea if it does, but it seems likely), that means it should currently be taking place at 01:00 for you. Also, UTC is widely used in both aviation and computer networking, so saying nobody uses it is false.

[cold plaza]

Is there a timezone where this doesn't dominate the discord channel?

[floral badge]

Yes. 03:15 UTC+5. I mean 03:15 YEKT. Err, I mean 01:15 MSK. Sorry. >.>

[shrewd rampart]

@balmy current I providing timestamps in UTC. Are we still allowed to be friends?

[wind night]

why are yall talking about timezones so much

anyway. is poison counted as physical damage similar to bleed?

[native sail]

Nope, poison damage is poison

[wind night]

is bleed not physical?

[native sail]

It is

[brittle atlas]

Poison is it’s own unique damage type

[minor kindle]

The G key in the game will answer most of your questions...

[wind night]

...

i completely forgot that exists

thank you

Q: is there a tool somewhere to export your character for build planners

like one click string, gets your current level, equipment, stats, skills, passives, etc

[minor kindle]

Can't get your point, doesn't the build planner already have the function to upload save files?

or you mean something other

[wind night]

oh does it? where do i find save files

i was looking for somewhere inside the game, my bad

ah found it

thank you

[wary patio]

Whats the temple of sactum?

[shrewd rampart]

temporal sanctum?

its a dungeon with higher than normal exalted drop rate. Additionally, you can upgrade uniques that have legendary potential by using exalted items

[wary patio]

Oh i see cool

How many acts are in the game?

[sharp quartz]

Currently 9... devs have suggested a possible 12 total by 1.0 (?), but not sure if that will be the end of the campaign content post 1.0 tho.

[balmy current]

There was but due to Orobys & some time travelling shenanigans it got corrupted into this timeline.

[balmy current]

Yes, I know we aren't in GMT now but for 6 months of the year we are.

[balmy current]

No, purely on point of principle & me apparently having backed myself into a corner.

[errant dawn]

making my devouring orb char now, question regarding its talents, what part of DO does the big damage the main orb or the abyssal orbs? trying to decide wether to spend my last points for void pen or abyssal frequency since i have a +3 helmet

[sharp quartz]

I use the Dark Moon, maxed Cosmic Impact and Extinction node as first priority - and if I had a +3 I would likely have the more frequent abyssal orbs over anything else...

[errant dawn]

abyssal orb has base impact damage and then explodes into void rifts is that right?

[sharp quartz]

This would answer better than I could... but yes - https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/abyssal_orb

If I recall the rift it "creates" is slightly different to the one from DO - smaller etc.

[errant dawn]

k cool yeah that seems more worth than penetration then

[abstract aspen]

what are some incentives for playing with other people in multiplayer?

[acoustic thicket]

You want to.

That's all we really know atm

It's meant to be basically the exact same as playing solo but with friends.

[abstract aspen]

aside from that. Just curious because as far as I can recall, they said all content will be soloable anyway

[acoustic thicket]

You can make optimized builds for teaming up, and that's cool and powerful But other than that there isn't much else we know.

[abstract aspen]

ok thanks

[acoustic thicket]

All content will be soloable, and mp just exists so people can play together if they want. But it's not meant to give an advantage over playing solo

[balmy current]

I think Cosmic Impact only applies to when the DO hits a mob as it rotates around you, not the void rifts or Abyssal Orbs, but I've asked Mike for confirmation.

[balmy current]

It's not, the rifts AO gives are the same as the rifts from DO, plus the Sentinel doesn't get any Void pen so ~20% void pen is not a small modifier.

[sharp quartz]

Cosmic Impact - I always thought that it only applies to DO too... Never saw it as a possible boost for the Abyssal Orbs...

Rifts from AO vs DO... not so sure myself, as the DO rift isnt really defined in the skill while the AO rift is - looking at lastepochtools info... and it seems like AO is just a "weaker homing version" of DO so my assumption is that the rift is too (i.e. smaller/weaker)

[balmy current]

It isn't

[wind night]

anyone have speculative builds they think they’d like to play when multiplayer comes out?

something different to how you’d play solo

[safe harness]

I’ve heard mention of decoy rotations

[wind night]

oh god

🤣🤣

[safe harness]

But that might just be a meme

[wind night]

well you can do double decoys so

could be perma decoy

i think

that’s absurd, i love it

speaking of MP, anyone know if there’s gonna be a “resurrect your friend” mechanic? what happens with deaths?

[balmy current]

No, that's not been announced yet.

[inner surge]

does having higher corruption give me a better chance to loot rarer items on timeline bosses ?
for instance i'm trying to loot the Throne of Ambition on Argentus, not sure if I should take the time to do the shade of orobyss or just run the timeline over and over

[brittle atlas]

yes, corruption increases the rarity modifier you get from nodes, and rarity improves boss drops

corruption also increases stability gain from completing nodes, meaning you can loop back to the boss faster

assuming your build can handle the corruption

this is also why it's best to farm in empowered monoliths, since their corruption is uncapped

[rare fjord]

does it have added damage efficiency? how much?

[inner surge]

thank you 🙂

[brittle atlas]

I'm pretty sure it's the same as normal Abyssal Echoes

[rare fjord]

thank you

[bright bison]

is there any boss fight guide for dungeons available?

[errant dawn]

does stationary/void rift devouring orb do better at single target than the orbiting impact one?

[cold plaza]

Nah, the orbiting one gets that bottom node, which is the best more multiplier on the tree.

[errant dawn]

figured but wasnt sure havent tried the other path, thanks

[errant dawn]

also with +3 extra points, definitely best spent in abyssal orb frequency right?

[cold plaza]

Kinda depends on the build. If you're just single target, I'd doubt it

[balmy current]

That only applies to the impacts though so you'd need to be close to the target.

[errant dawn]

does the abyssal orb not do much singletarget? figured it has an impact+rifts too so should be good

[balmy current]

Abyssal Orb doesn't benefit from the Cosmic Impact node, it has it's own impact & AoE damage.

Though apparently it has a base void damage of 60 (as against Cosmic Impact's 80).

https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/abyssal_orb

Though AO only has 150% added damage effectiveness compared to DO's 200% & Void Rifts' (the AoE from AO & DO) 75%.

But AO is ranged & DO with the Cosmic Impact node isn't, though I have no idea how big the radius is with the Distant Satellite node.

[errant dawn]

the melee range is not an issue to me but i guess the non orbit ones have longer duration so you can put up more of them? idk

might try eventually

i'll change to some void pen over abyssal frequency see how that feels

[balmy current]

Yes, they do, Dark Moon halves their duration.

TBH, I don't think the orbiting/static is a big issue v trash (since everything dies quickly) & against bosses it's not an issue since the boss will be in range of the Abyssal Orbs.

[errant dawn]

the static orbs and stacking a lot of them single target seems messy for fps too

i'll stick to orbit with pen for now seems good

[sage basin]

Hey guys! what's a good fun build? currently playing javelin + smite paladin, looking for some suggestions

[brittle atlas]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUfKce3TGvY

[cold plaza]

👀

[brittle atlas]

[trim heath]

can confirm, they are fun, I'm doing bowmage tomorrow

[slender grove]

what does repeating those stability quests accomplish

[brittle atlas]

in normal monoliths, you gather stability to do the two quest echoes and then kill the timeline boss. After you've killed the boss you lose however much stability it costs to fight the boss- which depends on the timeline

regathering stability will let you fight the boss again

in empowered monoliths, you can skip the two quests prior to the boss

it's not really worth it to farm in normal monoliths, but you can technically do it

[rare fjord]

smite hammerdin looks awesome

[sharp quartz]

If you like the look of the hammerdin smite - you should also check out LizardIRLs Electrify Javelin - very similar "smite on throw" type build, but more active - i.e. a lot of the smites land where you throw the javelins so its a very "satisfying" play style...

[strange cove]

does anyone know if there are plans to adjust the stash tab prices? particularly when multiplayer hits...
I'm asking because so far this game has 1048576 potential builds per each class and as such I really need my storage space. :-< In fact, i've stopped playing for now simply because stashes got so expensive grinding for them is not fun (and I find a whole bunch of new items to store during those runs)

[copper fable]

You might just be overhoarding

I have a dozen tabs of uniques, idols, and exalted, and I should and could probably cull those down. Stash tabs are basically so cheap space is not a factor

[strange cove]

I definitely am, but one of the "problems" is that I play HC, so I sort of need to keep similar items in case of death, too.

[copper fable]

Well I guess I can just say, currently LE probably offers some of the most if not the most space for basically free of any arpg, Its unlikely they would lower it

There is also iirc a stash tab cap of 200

[strange cove]

meh :-<

[sharp quartz]

I officially welcome you to Hoarders Anonymous... I am up to 150+ tabs so far and its generally a mess withou any filtering, more intelligent search, configurable auto storting and more practial stash management tools. The game drops so much loot that even with my end-game filtering of nothing less than >T12 exalted items still means I regularly pick up too much.. I am now just using FIFO principal and throwing everything in my old tabs away (or shattering/removal) instead of buying new ones... I would not recommend getting to the state I am in... should have tossed things out a long time ago...

[copper fable]

im at about 50 tabs and I def need to just shatter like 80% of my exalted and dump like 30% of my idols...

I for a long time was just picking up any exalted so tons of them are like poison damage on an axe like this isnt even good for legendary axes lol

[sharp quartz]

Same here... Idols is most definitely a problem... especially if you dont know whats a good combination or whats useful to other classes or not... even now after thousands of hours, I still have to stop and think about idols before I pick them up.

[strange cove]

Hehehe

Idols are meh, true. But I think I only have two tabs of those. :-p well, 3, I'm sure there are some idols mixed with other things simply because the two tabs were full already

[terse phoenix]

is multiplayer available now?

[winter swan]

Hello. I'm thinking of buying this game I have a few questions

How's the multiplayer?

[copper fable]

!multiplayer

[ripe brook]

Multiplayer's still in development. Here's the latest news: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/official-last-epoch-multiplayer-faq/42036.

[winter swan]

How are the characters stored on the multiplayer? Are they stored on a server or on our own hard drives like that Grim Dawn game?

[copper fable]

when MP does come out, its server side

currently characters are located on your own drive.

[winter swan]

ok that's good

[copper fable]

if you play through steam there is steam cloud support. And they plan to have offline characters who are saved locally to remain an option as well.

but all MP characters will be server side only

[winter swan]

I don't know what to play . Diablo 3 was screwed the moment set items unbalanced everything and path of exile has a terrible core system that favors spamming only one skill

[copper fable]

LE offers small utility focused skill sets. You can choose to spam one skill, use rotational combat abilities, or have skill you use to gather mana, and another to spend mana. As well as utility/defensive skills etc.

its more robust then PoE combat wise, but probably not as crazy as D3 or an MMO.

[spiral umbra]

are hammerdin smiter still very good or was it nerfed in recent patches, havnt played in like 1 year...

[minor kindle]

no change

[spiral umbra]

Thanks, any idea of stronger / strongest build atm?

[versed oriole]

guys, quick question here i've stared playing LE today but i've created my char at SC Solo, in future i can turn to non-solo mode?

i can ask the suport to migrate for me? or should create a new one rn?

[lunar holly]

under settings there's "Challenges" tab and you can opt-out

[versed oriole]

ty

[outer sage]

Will the crit multi from a Kris count towards salt the wounds?

[slender grove]

Is there anyway to focus farm exalted axes? or any exalted item for that matter

[minor kindle]

Soulfire Dungeon, maybe

[minor kindle]

yea

[lyric sail]

does this game have it's own client

[bright pulsar]

Hi! I'm newer to LE, and I just leveld up my character through the campaign and I think I'm in endgame, what would be a good starter build to play to get started? Is there a website or something that I can find them on? I play mage sorcerer

[balmy current]

Yes.

[quiet marsh]

can you eliminate rollable mods from a legendary item by having mods on the exalted item that the unique already has?

[dire mist]

no

[quiet marsh]

so you can end up with an amulet that gives 2 life rolls?

[lunar holly]

yep, see this double-chill bonker that I will never use: #👑┃item-showcase message

[copper fable]

Yep. I have an exalted flat phys last laugh which already has flat phys

[quiet marsh]

nice

ty

[wind night]

hey guys, is Bleed (or any other dot) counted as "damage from a distance" for those rares that have that affix?

like.. does it become damage from a distance if you move out of range? or when it's applied..? how does it work

[minor kindle]

should be snapshot

I'm not sure about the "from a distance" affix, but most of the time dot calculates the damage according to the state at the time of application, and will not change due to subsequent changes in conditions (except for some enemy resistance reduction or damage taken changes)

[balmy current]

It would need to be applied "from a distance" in order to be counted as "damage from a distance".

[viscid stag]

quick question, if i make my lightning blast do cold damage (by that node on the mage skill tree), does lightning damage increases that cold damage? or i have to reroll my items?

i know it modifies base damage 🤔 i think

[urban horizon]

It won't since the base changes to cold and adaptive spell damage turns into cold

[viscid stag]

fair enough

thanks :3

[little ether]

when multiplayer?

[eternal matrix]

2-3 months I guess

[spiral umbra]

are thorns totem, spriggan still a solid build, and anyone have a guide or something to follow/watch?

[spiral umbra]

and any thoughts on druid vs shaman?

[cold plaza]

The normal thorn totem + serpents milk is incredibly strong. Shaman still gives you more adaptive, where as druid gives you access to entangling roots for cast speed buffs. If you're looking for a neat variation, can check this build: https://youtu.be/XGhqX7RJ9qo

[spiral umbra]

Thanks alot, i saw that video last night aswell, just didnt know, how strong to the other thorns build it was. Still undecided between the two masteries tho, find that particularly hard to decide and commit to 🙂 Roots looks good imo, but the 50 res from shaman also looks kinda nice, if that is a problem

[cold plaza]

Nah, the res is pretty irrelevant. @minor kindle has a lot of experience with the normal thorn totem build - it leans a lot more into that "nightshade briar" node, which is beyond busted.

[spiral umbra]

I see, I can only see he/she made an cold damage aftershock build, which is something entirely different if im not mistaken 🙂 Would love the persons input tho, to pros and cons. unless its primarily adaptive spell damage vs entangling roots

[minor kindle]

The details of how the damage is composed will vary a bit between masteries, but the results are about the same. The Thorn Totem build can easily meet the needs of most players for damage, or even overflow (you can refer to Perry's guide, which explains it in detail)
Meaning, imo you can think about masteries options in terms of survival, control feeling, movement speed, etc. (not damage. 👀

[spiral umbra]

Thanks alot. I guess survivability is the most important of those 3+ things u mention, but ofc I would prefere a tanky, non clunky playstyle, which isnt a total slog too 🙂 (dont we all) 🙂

@minor kindle Is shaman tanky enough or is druid vastly superior in that regard. And is shaman way more clunky without roots?

[minor kindle]

nope, Root for Thorns Totem will only be used in boss fights in most cases. And it is very troublesome to maintain the Root buff on all totems for a long time, so there are many people who do not use the root at all (can still cause terrible damage)

[spiral umbra]

Nice, so Shaman is tanky enough, or what would you recommendation be for a beginner mastery wise?

[minor kindle]

The Bightshade Briar node and Serpent Milk are key.
Totem cast speed must be above 70%. If you don't want to stack totem cast speed, you can POP totems like Perry. Basically that's it

[copper fable]

totem summoning speed scales with cast speed right

[spiral umbra]

fantastic, thanks alot 🙂 Think shaman is my pick then, hopefully its the right choice

@minor kindle U dont have a lootfilter i can use right?

[spiral umbra]

Would you use wolfs instead then?

[toxic arrow]

Hey that puncture multi-shot node where shadows shoot beside you does not shotgun does it?

[toxic arrow]

Never mind, it does not.

[balmy current]

It does make gearing easier though.

[balmy current]

Projectiles generally only shotgun if they're fired sequentially or a node/item specifies that they shotgun.

[versed oriole]

guys, where i can find a good loot filter? i'm at lvl 40 with necromancer playing for the first time never played LE before only poe, so anything that can help me?

[sharp quartz]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/a-basic-guide-on-how-loot-filter-works-and-how-to-set-up-your-own-loot-filter/25389

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/0-8-5b-heavyz-casual-loot-filters-for-all-classes-v2-8/25176

[chilly bough]

Hi everyone 🙂 Nice to be there :), is it possible to do a filter based on gliph,runes etc... ?

[balmy current]

Nope

[safe harness]

can someone remind me how sealed affixes work with eternity cache?

is the sealed affix ignored?

[balmy current]

Yup

[urban horizon]

@delicate dust

[toxic arrow]

So sealed affixes can free up an extra spot, so you can have up to 5 affixes? But the sealed one can't be higher than tier 4?

[brittle atlas]

yep

[cold plaza]

TBF, if you farm Soulfire Bastion, there are door rewards that say "Rare items will have a t5 Sealed Affix"

[hasty vine]

Bleeding heart it says to farm at Age of Winter Monolith, but is still possible to have it dropped randomly elsewhere?

[minor kindle]

''Unique or Set Amulet reward nodes at Winter'' to be exact.
and yes, will still drop randomly

[hasty vine]

understood. thanks man!

no luck so far for it and my salted wound gloves or salt of wound wtv. so was getting frustrated and just making sure i understood the drop mechanics for it right haha

[minor kindle]

It's normal for Salt the Wound, and even in the bonus list for the Unique Glove node, it has a poor 1.25% chance of dropping (data from tunklab's simulator), meaning the expectation is to complete 80 nodes to get 1 (but it may actually take more).

Bleeding heart is much easier, the chances are about 10%

[hasty vine]

on a Unique or Set Amulet nodes?

[wind night]

Q: if there's +% bow damage, does it apply to ailments or just the base hit

similarly to physical damage, does that apply to bleed damage or is bleed damage strictly "damage over time"

[safe harness]

Anything that mentions damage with a weapon does not apply to ailments

[copper fable]

I think bow damage is strictly hit based, or DoTs that are not ailments. Similarly to "Melee" damage does not buff ailments made by melee. There is some wording shenanigans you have to watch out for like "Damage while wielding a bow" word work

[wind night]

thanks, just making sure

[safe harness]

Sort of similarly, salt the wounds will not increase bleed effectiveness from +% crit multi with bows

[spiral umbra]

are there any tricks to sustain rage early (level 30) in spriggan form?

[shrewd rampart]

probably better in class discussion, but i've never played it so idk

[sharp quartz]

This seems to be a regular question - there are a few discussions on the forum about this - recommend you go check those to see (search is your friend)... obviously lvl 30 is really early so a lot of the usual recommendations may be premature (e.g. https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzAsEZgZiA ... I also dont think that there is any one silver bullet for the issue at the moment.

[spiral umbra]

@sharp quartz Thanks, I actually made it work at around level 32 ish, with "Ire of threes", since i use thorns totems i coupled it with "Spiked totems" which im supposed to take anyway, and build is flying now 🙂

[grim fern]

Anyway to force the save file to Masochist even I haven't finish the main quest ? Everytime i make masochist : true, it's replace by false

ok, only had to close the game, make the change and reopen the game.

[urban bramble]

Not to be that guy, but any idea as to when update 0.9 is released?

[copper fable]

a few months out, any time after september theoretically but because its such a large scope update id expect a few months after that.

[urban bramble]

thanks, ill continue to keep a look out

[eternal badge]

Hi!! Do you know why this rings do not increase my skills? I found this rings with other character

[shrewd rampart]

short answer: because it shouldn't

the ring increases minion movement speed and minion armor

neither of those stats are on that page you're looking at

[spare pewter]

This in particular modifier is Movement speed for You and your Minions which is it's own unique modifier in our system and it currently is not coded the same as something like applying generic Movement speed applied to both you and your minions separately, if that makes sense. Since the modifier is unique it will not apply on the character sheet. It should however, still work correctly.

[eternal badge]

Thanks!

[eternal badge]

do exists some page to see this stats?

[shrewd rampart]

if its not there, no

[winter swan]

has this game ever been on sale on steam?

[brittle atlas]

yes, it generally goes on sale a few times a year

recently it was on sale during the summer sale

[copper fable]

just dont expect big sales

I think 25% off has been the biggest sale, maybe 20%

[copper fable]

yeah, 25% was right, lucky!

But yeah, its well worth getting it at full value imo :>

[steel dawn]

Where i can drop Idol Chance to cast smite when you hit with throwing attacks ?

[dire mist]

anywhere

[sharp quartz]

yip... and its fairly rare.... if you have reached monoliths, you can get the idol drop chance blessings from Fall of the Outcasts.... and obviously its more likely to drop for a sentinel char....

[dry narwhal]

farmed mine mainly on devouring orb VK, can confirm

then dropped better % ones on the smite pally so that worked out

[steel dawn]

🙂 thx !

[acoustic thicket]

I've been chasing them myself for a while now on my sentinel, and 2 characters hitting 95 so far and I've seen a single min rolled idol with the mod.

[lilac sonnet]

Hey, if I have a melee physical skill and a weapon with flat physical and flat necrotic damage, how will the flat necrotic damage affect the damage of to the skill?

[minor kindle]

If the skill does not have a node that converts the add damage, there will be a part of the nec damage

[balmy current]

Damage retains it's element unless explicitly converted & is only affected by relevant modifiers. So that flat necrotic damage would be affected by % necrotic, % melee, general % damage & skill-specific modifiers (that aren't for specific elements).

[fervent grotto]

does miniondamage scale the reflect from necromancers 'Grave Thorns' node?

[balmy current]

Probably, since that's a generic damage modifier (ie, not specific to any element or how the damage is done, ie, spell/melee/etc)

[indigo gull]

Love the game but hate having to sink in more time then needed. Completely understand the necessity not to launch prematurely however, all the time invested is lost when it does launch. When will LE launch approximately?

[copper fable]

Depends on how you plan to play it. Do you plan to play LE seasonally like PoE or Diablo? if so you start over each season anyways.

Do you plan to play online? if so you can start most likely when MP hits.

And if you plan to play offline, then anything you do now is permanent.

[lavish sierra]

back this is KS like 5 years ago waiting for mp release not even played it yet lol 🙂

these type of games are always better in MP

[indigo gull]

POE, Diablo, Warhammer 40k, etc. are in non beta. Like the misdirect, but was actually hoping for a timeframe.

[copper fable]

There is no timeframe it could be a year or 10 years.

And I dont get your logic of "wasted" time, do you think playing PoE until it gets its final update is a waste because there will be new things to explore later so you might as well just wait till then to play it at all?

The game going from beta to release is basically just a ticking of a box, you will still be getting constant updates that invalidate old systems and revamp them...

But perhaps thats just how I view it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[steel phoenix]

Are community tester apps still being accepted?
I didn’t see a time limit on the posting

[steel phoenix]

Understandable, that’s what a friend and I are doing. We played a bit about a year ago, finished the story (that was available), a bit of the (old) end game, and stopped to wait for multiplayer.
iirc they’re aiming for multiplayer later this year 👍🏼

[lavish sierra]

sooner rather than later i hope, i mean diablo 4 not that far off 🙂

[sharp quartz]

I would think its closed by now... they had a huge response (far more than expected) so unless they are being very selective in their choices for CT, then I figure that anyone at the back of the queue right now is unlikely to get a slot anymore.... pure speculation on my part so unless the submission is disabled, you may as well apply.

[steel phoenix]

I have my reservations about D4; granted this is better suited for #📚┃off-topic - TL;DR Diablo Immortal. 🫣

And @sharp quartz I can see what you mean. I’ll put one in for giggles then since it’s still an open link. Appreciate the response 👍🏼

[rancid lichen]

"Minion damage leeched as health on hit" - this heals me or my minions (totems) ?

[balmy current]

minions

I think Usurper's Mandate is the only one that gives you hp based on your minions hits (& even then it's life on hit, not leech)

[rancid lichen]

thanks

[daring spindle]

hey guys whats a good first time player build to try out ?

[devout junco]

Not Tempest Strike

I won't recommend a specific build but I will say that the only thing you cannot respec in this game is your mastery choice, so pick a mastery that seems interesting to you and roll with it. Read all the text in the passive tree and the skills that you like and you'll most likely be able to put together a build that can clear the campaign and early end game.

[daring spindle]

@devout junco ok ty for the advice

[acoustic thicket]

By the time you get to endgame you can start shifting to another build without too much hassle imo. just a bit of time to get resetup

[balmy current]

G is your friend.

[devout junco]

Also Shift+F is eventually a dear friend as well.

[heavy quail]

Does cooldown reduction affect the smite autocast when using warpath?

[cold plaza]

worth testing? it shouldn't, and probably doesn't

[balmy current]

No, CDR only affects things that can go on your skill bar, not procs.

[analog geyser]

has anyone played this game with integrated graphics? I have a Surface Pro 8 and am wondering what the experiance is like with such hardware

[snow spruce]

#💬┃general message

I really wouldn't try it -- but you could try I suppose

[stone granite]

PC games aren't meant to be played on tablets.

[sharp quartz]

Just dont. Seriously... dont.

[odd locust]

Could you please talk to the developer? As a user who likes games, I would like to get permission to work on language localization.

[fair talon]

how much actual damage would be 30% increased melee elemental damage be, can't really test it because it comes from fire auras

[acoustic thicket]

It's additive with other applicable increased damage sources. So it's functionally the same as adding 30%increased fire damage on a gear piece

[fair talon]

is it good or bad then

[acoustic thicket]

How much %increased damage do you have? If you have very little. It'll be a pretty decent boost. If you have 700+ you'll not really notice It.

[fair talon]

I guess a lot

[acoustic thicket]

So. Not really a big boost

[fair talon]

well, 5 passive points then for me

thanks

[obtuse canyon]

is there a spot to farm soulfire bastion keys? i seem to never get them

[brittle atlas]

they drop pretty often from monolith bosses

especially in empowered, I find I generally get 1-2 keys per boss kill

and then whatever else drops along the way while getting the stability to kill the boss

[obtuse canyon]

ah havent got the empowered timelines yet. just asking cuz i got 10+ of the other keys and only 1 of soulfire

ill just keep farming 😛

[brittle atlas]

yeah, I'd say just push on to empowered if you can

much faster to farm stuff there

[daring spindle]

is it normal for the game to just keep crashing/

?

[lunar holly]

it would be weird for this to be normal 😅

verifying game files on steam can resolve some of the crash issues if you haven't tried it

[daring spindle]

yh il give it a go thx

[fair talon]

is this filter wrong in some way?

I have various elemental damage and fire damage and fire pen and fire and elemental related selected

I have this filter 4 times, with 1 2 3 4 affixes

I can't tell if this filter is broken in some way or not a single sword with any 1 of those 10 stats ever dropped

[shrewd rampart]

turn the filter off, find one, turn it back on, and see if it shows

other than that, not much i can say

[fair talon]

okay turns out the filter was indeed broken this whole time

I had it in the wrong order

[shrewd rampart]

the loot filter says at least 2, not at least 1

[fair talon]

yeah it was just one of them I picked

[proven jewel]

came here to ask this question as well, not just u, my game is borderline unplayable

[dry narwhal]

verify your steam files

[sharp quartz]

Most definitely not.... If @lunar holly suggestions do nothing, then try dropping down the settings to very low & ensure that there is a framerate limit enabled. If this works, then its a performance issue. if none of the suggestions work, then post a thread on the technical support forum - very important, include your player.log, le_graphicsmanager.ini and the output of a dxdiag report (assuming windows).

[sharp quartz]

Try the game verification, low settings suggestions above... else post on the forum as I suggest above - it might be something known but discord is bad for troubleshooting technical issues...

[neat depot]

can i get Twisted heart of Ukheiros from level 150 corruption boss fight? or should i farm higher? cheers

[lunar holly]

you can even get it with 0 corruption

just farm at whatever's most effective for your build

[neat depot]

thank you 🙂

[subtle hamlet]

Hello 👋🏻 question about minion ailments! I can’t seem to find any stats about my minions bleed chance, duration or damage on the character sheet. Is this present anywhere?

[copper fable]

Nope, you just have to do a bit of math to add up obvious chances.

Minions generally get ailments from very specific locations so it shouldnt be too bad.

Generally the character sheet is in need of some work, but it will be updated in the future for now just gotta use the good old pen and paper

[toxic arrow]

Does the flurry deals more damage node (deep strikes) affect ailments?

[shy frost]

Hi everyone! Is there any item that converts bleed dmg into void dmg?

[brittle atlas]

If the node doesn’t specify “damage with hits” it will apply to ailments

[brittle atlas]

Nothing like that currently

[cloud haven]

That's the only option

Question, im quite new but I don't get what the cold damage passives in the beasrmaster tree is for, I don't have any cold damage besides my crows

[soft rivet]

I would say yes, every instance of a damage effect is modeled with an object, so each case where it's applies will have the necessary damage modifiers.

I now know to adjust my rogue build since it only has tons of bleed

[copper fable]

Beastmaster has no cold support unless you mean druid?

or base primalist

[soft rivet]

Ah yes druid sorry

Pretty sure it's around 2 nodes in from the start

[copper fable]

most druid minions can be converted to cold, and many skills also deal cold

primalists three major damage types are cold, physical and lightning

[soft rivet]

Ah, so it's better for later? I find it hard to build with since you only really have the claw ability for the bear form at first, which only has lightning and physical damage

[copper fable]

Entangling roots normally deals physical, but can be made cold. Maelstrom also deals cold damage, one of the common druid builds is a cold based were bear build too 🙂

You should have access to warcry as well, which can cast maelstrom for you

[soft rivet]

Ah, I haven't really used maelstorm, I mostly use crows, and a wolf, the claw attack as well.
It just feels a bit clunky, you have lightning damage on one ability, yet get a few really good cold stuff.
I also haven't found the frostbite affix (does it exist still?)

[copper fable]

For primalist frostbite is found on idols only I think. and idols can take a minute to farm.

Idols are completely rng and there is no way to craft them, so getting the correct set of idols with good values is a stretch goal

[soft rivet]

Ouch. I might end up just going the poison route.

It doesn't benefit my minions as much, but I can at least use the damage, I can then supplement cold minion damage in some other way

[woven fulcrum]

there are some boots that have it as well. they're fairly common.
it might be a hold over while you gear up.

[soft rivet]

Ooh I'll keep an eye out, thank you!

[dusky minnow]

hey guys i kinda messed up my skills how do i fix it?

[soft rivet]

Which ones?

[cloud haven]

Are the founder pakcs the same as the supporter packs?

[dapper swift]

How does base crit work, I mean if the skill has something that directly buff it up, like +20, and I have 10 base thanks to 100% inc in crit. Does this 10 add to the 20 so 30 only or it get added to the default base crit of 5 then it calcolate the inc crit chances making it 50? I hope I am clear on what I mean, kinda hard to explain

[copper fable]

(5 + additional crit) x (1 x increased crit)

so 10 flat crit and 50% increased is 15 x 1.5 = 22.5 chance to crit

So something like the "Slayers" mod on melee weapons adds a large chunk of flat crit, which then gets scaled by all your increased crit chance.

As far as I know everything has 5 to start with to which flat crit is added

So in your example you had 100% increased crit, +20 base crit would make the end result 50 like you said. 25 * 2 = 50% chance to crit

[dapper swift]

Cool, thanks

[stone granite]

You can respec your skills right in the skill menu.

[grave panther]

Would there be any reason to get resistance value above the 75% cap? For mono bossess for example, do they shred resistances? Thx

[minor kindle]

generally not

[copper fable]

the only one worth worrying about would be mark for death which is -25% this is the most common one you will run into, but its not so dangerous as to desperately need to overcap for it

[grave panther]

Aha, okay thanks guys!

[royal plover]

any word on when 1.0 be out also willl we see online play random parties

[sharp quartz]

No & yes. But you really should go read the FAQ, Dev Blogs & Announcements on the forum - there is way more info available if you take the time to do so...

[soft rivet]

Question, when you have multiple tags on an ability, do those tags add up?
Say I have Bow + Arrow for tags
And I have 10 scaled damage on Bow and 10 scaled damage on Arrow will those add up?

[copper fable]

Tags dont exactly stipulate full damage scaling

So take void cleave for example, it has the void and physical tags, as a baseline it does 1 phys and 1 void damage

if you use a weapon that is all physical damage, then get 100% void damage... you get no damage increase other then on the 1 baseline void damage.

There is no innate conversion for attacks currently, for spells its a bit easier as adaptive spell damage is added as whatever element the baseline is, for something that is half phys and half fire, it would split the adaptive damage across it.

But there is also typed spell damage too, that would again only be scaled by appropriate damage buffs even if the skill has no tag as such.

The tags are more in place for +skill buffs and other things that ask for if you have used a skill recently etc.

As well as giving a general guideline for how you would scale it

As for if you had a skill that was lightning and fire tagged, and you had 10 fire, and 10 lightning those would add together for the final damage, but be scaled by their own respective modifiers.

You can have say 10 fire, 10 lightning and 50% increased elemental damage, as well as 100% increased lightning damage. and it would look like

10 fire * 1.5 = 15
+
10 lightning * 2.5 = 25
= 40 total end damage

And this could be on a skill with only the physical tag 😛

Learning the nuance of tags is important for more complicated builds because you have items that will specifically look at tags but provide bonuses to not the tagged damage type

[soft rivet]

Ah I was mostly asking since spirit plague has lots of tags, and you can't really stack it so I'm running a double DOT build with necrotic and bleed.

[copper fable]

bleed has its own tags separate from spirit plague even. its "Physical, Damage over time" but bleed is not a curse, so curse damage found on some items wont buff it for example even though it came from a curse.

The way you would get around this is through generic scaling such as Intelligence which provides a generic damage buff, or "Damage over Time" damage increases which will buff spirit plague, bleed and poison.

[soft rivet]

Yes, I've been focusing a bit more on necrotic damage though, I'm also running bloodrip and converted that to necrotic as well.

How does this look?

[copper fable]

its probably fine, I dont generally count my increased, aslong as its passed like 300% its probably fine

Damage isnt too big of a deal, aslong as you dont die haha.

[soft rivet]

I'd send the link to it, but it's blacklisted here and I don't know why

[shrewd rampart]

Is that current? Or full build? @soft rivet

[soft rivet]

Full build

[shrewd rampart]

resist are a bit low i think...

with a few exceptions, you really want 75% across the board

[brittle atlas]

Quite low HP too

Every build should be able to hit at least 2200 ish unless you’re one of the few builds with better suffixes than health

And especially since you seem to have no other defensive layer

[shrewd rampart]

acolyte has a several ward options, but you need quite a few of them together to really be viable

[brittle atlas]

Yeah, based off those stats it doesn’t seem like a ward character either

[analog geyser]

where do I get the key to the Lightless Arbor?

[brittle atlas]

Random drop in any zones level 20+, but significantly more common as drops in endgame monoliths and especially from empowered monolith bosses

[tulip gate]

Is Aurelis (Multistrike/Smite) viable? Not meta, but viable to some degree

[brittle atlas]

It’s playable for sure, but it feels pretty bad just due to how it works mechanically

[inland swan]

is there going to be a wipe for 1.0.0?

or for the multiplayer update

[cinder fossil]

your current characters will be kept but will remain in offline mode

[brittle atlas]

No, current characters won’t be wiped. However, current characters are offline and cannot be taken online, making multiplayer effectively a fresh start

There’s no mixing of offline and online characters, basically

[inland swan]

ooh thank you, that is exactly what I needed

[brittle atlas]

As current characters are offline and stored locally, leaving them vulnerable to tampering

While online characters will be stored on EHGs servers

[harsh elk]

there is no way to try out the game before using money right?

[still anvil]

asking someone have last epoch on steam to be friend and borrow game library when they are offline

they need to active option share game or so

[harsh elk]

wasnt there a free demo?

[still anvil]

sorry i dont know about that

[harsh elk]

btw is it better to buy it on steam or the website?

[still anvil]

wait for steam on sale i guess ?

[native sail]

I mean, if you buy it on Steam you can also just play from the standalone anyway, just go for whatever has the best price if you care about saving money

[brittle atlas]

the last demo I know of was pre-alpha

like three years or so

the game has changed so much since then it's not really an accurate representation of the game

[harsh elk]

30 bucks for a game i might never play again is kinda iffy

[brittle atlas]

if you buy on steam then you get the steam refund policy at least

[analog geyser]

How do I have a mastery before unlocking it in the quest? Am I missing something? I never selected necromancer as my mastery yet

[shrewd rampart]

proceed with the story

the story will unlock mastery

but you'll need at least 20 points in the main tree as well

[analog geyser]

so why does it say mastered in the necro tree?

[shrewd rampart]

visual bug...

kinda

either that or they picked a poor choice of words

word*?

[analog geyser]

fair enough, thanks!

[harsh elk]

i can only play for less than 2 hours

thats not enough to really get into a game like this

[brittle atlas]

sure, but that's really the only option atm if you want to try the game as far as I know

[harsh elk]

really sad i cant try it out without having to spent money

even if it was just for like a couple of lvls

[woven fulcrum]

Next best thing might be too watch someone's stream doing a playthrough
Watch about 5-10 lvls. Good fast in early campaign.

[shrewd rampart]

2 hours is a couple of levels...

[minor kindle]

do a 2 hours speed run

[sharp quartz]

If thats your criteria for deciding on a game then I would most defintely not consider any Early Access games.. If $30 isnt acceptable for you to pay on a whim, then rather wait until LE is released 1.0 and on sale at some future date....

[soft rivet]

Or live where I live.
$30 downscaled to my currency is nothing

It was around $9 on steam for me (regional pricing yay!)

[harsh elk]

30 euro is 223 DDK and thats like a quarter of 1k

[soft rivet]

Ah it's 150 of my currencies. I kind of just casually picked it up

[harsh elk]

without a job and no real way of getting money 200 is kinda high

[soft rivet]

That's true

[dapper swift]

For a unique, if the base item ilvl is 66, and the required level of it is 75, I would only find on area level of 75+ right?

[sonic cedar]

I got 72 lvl req sword from a lvl 69 area boss.
But it was a boss specific drop so no idea.

[native sail]

Boss drops don't follow that rule iirc

[glacial bison]

hi, does le using cloud save or is it local? for my character

[midnight timber]

currently, all save files are local. multiplayer will be server-based, when 0.9.0 is released

[copper fable]

if you play on steam, the steam cloud works. But its all saved locally on a pc otherwise

[terse trench]

does the acolyte blood pact passive affect minions?

[brittle atlas]

No, only things that specify minions

[terse trench]

ty

[naive night]

can i change mastery, since warpath crit have some rework i want to change paladin to forgemaster

[sharp quartz]

Nope... Changing mastery is the ONLY thing you cannot do in the game.... Over the years, its the only thing the devs have been consistent about... they want the choice to be important and allowing a player to change it would obviously negate that...

[naive night]

well they keep updating skills passive, that make some meh build become viable, and some in another mastery.

[sharp quartz]

Thats normal, the game isnt finished yet and feedback about how skills and passives do or dont work allows them to change them appropriately.... a mastery choice is something you make to decide if you want access to a specific set of skills/passives. I personally can see why the devs dont want players to do this - there may as well not be masteries if you could - just let everyone use all class skills.... hell, you could even get rid of classes all together and just let players chose any skills in the game....

[terse trench]

with eye of damnation does that do nothing if I am doing no necrotic damage or does it add some if I am dealing none

[frigid turret]

With the "Woodland Bear" talent on Werebear, does the entangling root that spawn from it have a CD ? It seems inconsistent which one procs it

[zealous orchid]

sorry for weird question
but can someone tell me/ give me a YT link how the endgame in LE is diffrent from POE? havent played LE in a long time but i remember endgame being like maps from POE is that still true?

basic explanation plz

[lunar holly]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2v_OdMoXNo I think this is close to what you need

[marsh maple]

https://youtu.be/YNYr9VopapA

I would suggest this one instead

[hollow pelican]

It does not have a cooldown, but you must have enough rage to actually cast the entangling roots, so if your roots cost 40, and your rage is 39, it won't proc, even though in other situations in the game you can go into negatives.

[frigid turret]

I see, thanks, that seems logical

[minor kindle]

Root proced in werebear form is incorrectly double rage cost now

[marsh maple]

its ok cause infinite rage is op

[dapper swift]

I don't what does effective legendary potential when I see it on the last epoch tools does that just mean that area level has a chance to start dropping and higher area level means better higher LP?

[native sail]

It's basically just a scale of how rare LP is on that item otherwise some would be literally impossible to get (and has been confirmed to NOT be impossible to get)

[lilac sonnet]

Does efficacious toxin from poison flask and puncture stack or is there no use triggering it from both skills?

[cold plaza]

no, doesn't stack

[lilac sonnet]

Why do Bladedancer poison builds typically use both of them?

Does the puncture bleed add so much to a poison build?

[brittle atlas]

if it's umbral blades, it converts bleed chance to poison

using efficacious toxins from both is mostly an uptime thing and a lack of other appealing nodes

[marble bridge]

can someone explain me why i cant enter the MajElka District ?

[woven fulcrum]

Might be a bug.
sometimes the transport area are finicky
like you have to click it or touch it at just the right space
if you tried, maybe just verify files, restart the game and portal back to that are and try again.
If it still doesn't work, report it as a bug
on the official forum. see the #555817861529075713

[marble bridge]

Worked after restarting the game Thanks

[kind imp]

Ok, I'm on Windows 11, and the game will sometimes boot into the main splash screen, and then it will just lock up. Wtf do I need to do to fix this issue and actually play the game?

It like, automatically just jumps to the "Unity Crash Handler" but even that doesn't come up.

I just see it in Task Manager.

Ok... so running Compatibility Mode for Windows 8 seemed to work...

Weird

[sharp quartz]

Being unable to start up randomly can be a sign of the performance related stability of the game (.e.g crashes on load up or when loading into new maps/areas while playing)... or it could be something causing a delay in communicating with the login servers (not normally tho).... Dont know what settings you are running on what hardware, but a quick way to test the performance issue is to set the game to Very low settings with 60fps framerate limit on 1080p... If it loads more reliably at these settings then thats probably the issue.... Your comment about changing compatibility could very much be related to performance...

[marble bridge]

I kinda have a hardtime finding item upgrade with lvl 55+ i even started gambling but i still die like a fly with my rogue any tips ? ^^

[sharp quartz]

Gambling will not help.. its capped to lvl 40 items.

If you post a link to your build in the Rogue section then i am sure someone will help you.... you can use https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/ to upload your current build for help

Level 55 is about when you should be using filters and crafting

[marble bridge]

Its more like iam lacking resistens cuz i dont drop any decent gear / is the monolith the base place for me to get some stuff ?

[sharp quartz]

Monoliths (especially empowered version) are the best place for farm items (other than a few specific dungeon instances).

by level 55 all your resistances should be around 60ish... and you should have 1000+ health...

[kind imp]

I haven't even loaded into the game as a character yet. And, turning on Windows 8 Compatibility Mode let's me get into the Main Menu. So, I'm just gonna use that for the moment.

[sharp quartz]

Thats definitely not normal... a system that can run Win11 with a discreet GPU shouldnt have any problems loading LE to the Main screen on default settings.

[kind imp]

Yep, I agree

It's a R5 3600, 32gb of DDR4-3200, GTX 1070, and the game is loaded onto a 3TB HDD 7200rpm

[sharp quartz]

You shouldnt be having any problem with that config, my system is less and i have almost 2k hours in LE.... If you are using Steam, run the Game File verification option to make sure your install is ok and make sure that your GPU drivers are recent (3 months) and installed using a clean installtion... You definitely should not be needing to change things like Compatibility settings to get LE to work... If this issue persists, then post a thread on the technical suport section of the forum and I'll try and help..

[sharp quartz]

The slower HDD might add 20-30 seconds to the load up time but it should get you into the game...

[kind imp]

Already did both of those things.

And, my drivers are cleaner than clean. I run a telemetry removal program for my Driver install on my Nvidia drivers and I don't use GFE.

[sharp quartz]

Ok... time to move to the forum.... (be sure to include your player.log and le_graphicsmanager.ini files in a technical support thread).

[kind imp]

I'll do that when I get home

[dapper swift]

Seeing how there is a modifier about mark for death on the monolith, could someone plan ahead for it, I didn't see any other stuff that could mess up resistance beside that for now

[brittle atlas]

There are some enemy types that will shred your fire, lightning, and poison resists in various ways if I recall correctly

generally I'd say it's not worth going out of your way to overcap resistances, though

Mark for Death ends up being one of the weaker damage increasing mods in monolith the higher in corruption you get, even if you don't overcap for it

[dark storm]

does anyone have any tips on how they do their stash tabs? mine is a big mess

[soft rivet]

I generally sort it per class, put gear for different kinds of builds in different rows, this allows for neat organization.
If you only have one build you can put gear that somewhat fits your build on the higher end of the rows and worse on the bottom, in case you find a stopgap item and need to put it on at some point.

[dapper swift]

As a now, as I don't have that much gear, I have a tab for Various Rarity, and sub like unique weapons, Idols types, if 1x2, 2x1, 1x1 are defensive with like resists

[sharp quartz]

Cannot offer tips - my 150+ tabs are a glorious mess... if it were not for the search features that Mike added a few patches ago, I would have given up.... Now I setup my lootfilters and drop entire tabs on the ground so that they are highlighted, then I pick up the ones I want to keep and sort them into appropriate tabs (which are highly personal - some like to sort by builds, others by crafting possibilities etc)...

[wild vigil]

hey guys, im a fireball mage and im in the making of a build, currently im using this -> https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/zQqwm5Po

this is the build i made -> https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/boYEyzmo but if i hover the ability bar its less dps

new player so, am i missing something? which one is better and why, thanks

[lunar holly]

you're gonna have hard time with so little life, resists and no crit avoidance

check https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gWE6xW8Xlw

for fireball build I suggest only keeping the Cinder Song and replacing all the uniques and set items with rares/exalted

[wild vigil]

allright man. but for now tho, which one is better? 😄

[lunar holly]

the one with the Cinder Song 😛

[wild vigil]

thanks again, started 5 days ago and never played an arpg before

[toxic arrow]

Uniques tab with subtabs for different kind of uniques like 1hand, 2hand, rings, relics, etc. Color them bronze and match up icons the best you can. I have a big tab for keys and subtabs for the different kind of keys you can get.

General idols and class specific idol tabs all colored teal. I think I want to split the general idols tab up into defensive ones and offensive ones though.

Exalt tabs colored purple. I think I will organize them like I did uniques but right now it's just different numbers with a tier 7 tab.

Tabs for alt gears so you can see what you're working with for different builds.

I think the big master tabs are free and the sub tabs (that you actually put stuff in) costs hold so might as well organize it up

[crystal grail]

s1 know maybe, is the drop chance from rare monolith boss items in Empowered Mono's higher?

[brittle atlas]

not directly, but empowered monoliths will have more corruption and thus more powerful rarity modifiers, which does impact the boss drops

[rancid lichen]

so, If I have a helmet that has poison chance +20% it is converted to Ignite chance, too?

[brave ibex]

Yep

[rancid lichen]

wow

ty

[woven fulcrum]

just for Cinder Strike, just to be clear.

If I get to mastery (lvl 25) and I spam monoliths, how do I get the passive and things from the storyline ? Do I need to do it no amtter what ?

[minor kindle]

yep, you must get them from storyline

[carmine wind]

I am trying to get Apathy's Maw for my VK, according to the wiki, it drops from 50+ corruption Orobyss with a drop-rate of 'uncommon'. I wonder can a 50 corruption Orobyss drop it? I have tried 5 times already and don't want to waste my time if it can't. Also how common is 'uncommon'? 1 in 5, 1 in 10? Lastly, can it drop from non-empowered timelines?

[brittle atlas]

It should be able to drop at exactly 50 corruption. 1 in 5 is probably about right. Probably, but it’s not at all worth it to farm it in non-empowered considering how long it would take to get to 50 corruption and then farming it at exactly 50 with worse rarity modifiers

If you want to farm, do it in empowered and keep pushing up corruption

And make sure to get some decent rarity mods stacked up before fighting orobyss, and try to fight them further from the center of the timeline

@carmine wind

[dapper swift]

About Rune of Ascendance, should I use them for any unique I want beside boss drops even if it is rare, or common uniques/high LP potential?

[brittle atlas]

Just use them on whatever items you want to try and get

[torn tartan]

Hi guys, I think the font in the game is a font used in the unity game engine, but it does not support UTF-8 because it shows the uppercase letter "I" as uppercase "İ" in the game loading screen or in some places. Does anyone know if they will change the font?

[stone granite]

LP potential gets worse with the rune. I only use it with boots personally.

[sharp quartz]

Just a side note - dont use the Wiki - some info is really old and may no longer be correct .... Use https://www.lastepochtools.com/ or https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ or https://forum.lastepochgame.com/t/community-game-guide/26057 or the in-game guide by pressing "G" in LE.

[broken gulch]

Hi peeps, do you guys think LE atm has any potential for support characters? Asking since multiplayer will be a thing

[stone granite]

Classes will have supportive skills but not be specifically support

[broken gulch]

I see, i wonder if they will be significative enough to be worth party playing

[stone granite]

Party playing isn't about your skills, it's about the friends you make along the way

[broken gulch]

[twin oak]

I think it will be slightly easier when playing with certain builds. They don't want the game to be co-op or solo focused, so they will balance it somewhat.

[brittle atlas]

Absolutely, based on current numbers/skills

no idea if that stuff will make it to live release multiplayer though

but currently there are some really good support builds possible

[balmy pulsar]

any one got a guide to the soulfire bastion never done it before? also what lvl would you think is best for it roughly?

[balmy pulsar]

im working on one now Pali with main skills ("Javalin" - into battle standard mode {gives buffs to armour/damage in a large area that calls in "smite" which also heal every 0.8secs} then "Judgment" - which is also another heal / damage then ontop of that "holy aura" - which i can set in whichever way the party needs they need more resistence/attack speed/damage/health regen) hope that helps bud or gives you some ideas

pretty good dps as well depending on how you set your build

[nocturne sparrow]

what means "Effective lvl for Legendary Potential" ?

[lunar holly]

for items that can have LP it currently goes from 0 to 115, the higher the level the hardest it is for the item to have any LP (or more than 1 LP respectively), I don't believe the exact formula is known though

[dapper swift]

Talking about Legendary Potential, For example high effective level for potential, like Omnis can't even drop 3-4 LP? or if it does it is like a Mirror drop from Path of Exile.

[minor kindle]

Omnis' effective level for LP is 100, and dev once tried to spawn 5000 Ravenous Voids (105 effective level), of which 40 1LP appeared.

#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[dapper swift]

Interesting, thanks

[woven fulcrum]

Anything with LP can drop a 4LP. But the odds are astronomical in some cases (4 LP Argentus is like 1 in 10e30 or something like that.
There's a huge discussion about it over on the official forum.

cheers only lvl 50 ish at the mo lol so ill get there soon enough

[shrewd rampart]

monolith bosses, other dungeons, lightless arbor loot

2 and 3 are more or less the same, but...

[safe harness]

do upheaval totems benefit from the upheaval tree?

[minor kindle]

can benefit from most nodes

[safe harness]

I ask because swipe totems say they don't and I know that minions don't get bonuses from your trees when they use the skill (like spriggan casting entangling roots)

[minor kindle]

Because it said attack with Upheaval from totems rather than you. Strictly speaking, totem will not benefit from nodes, but Upheaval does imo

[hidden quail]

Hello, I'm gonna ask here because I'm sure the devs have been asked this quite a few times, but I cant find the answer. Basically, do we have an ETA for the falconer class, if anything has been said at all?

@cold plaza I was trying to find something slow and hard-hitting like that before. Was thinking of charged puncture applying a couple of super-strong bleeds, but that got murdered by the fact that charged puncture is considered channeled.

I just completed a timeline, how do I see higher levelled stuff?

[cinder fossil]

if you mean the higher level timeline, you physically walk to it after unlocking it

[soft rivet]

Ah I see it!

[cinder fossil]

and if you want to unlock the other timeline, you have to kill the boss again

DId it happen to you that after finishing a mono you selected a new blessing to replace, but the old one remain? i farmed this blessing for days, and it didnt replace... Should I report that as a bug?

[lunar holly]

Are you sure you're not clicking "Keep current" by mistake ? Cause I would totally not do that multiple times...

[grave panther]

Well Im not 100% sure now 😄 maybe.. out of excitement I got my blessing finally... its crucial part of my build, so it looks im farming for another week 😄

Hey guys so I had purchased Ardent Centurion package a few years ago (directly from LE) and I logged in for the first time today after a long break and found "Redeem in Steam" option. If I click that and transfer the license over to Steam, does it retain my Ardent Centurion perks?

[balmy current]

yes

[balmy pulsar]

does plague scale with anything? eg poisen?

[brittle atlas]

poison damage, damage over time, any generic more multipliers from the skill that applies it, attribute scaling from the skill that applies it

[charred mauve]

Can Melee Physical Damage be converted to any elem damage?

like - this sword have huge amount of phys damage, but how it put to work with spellblade?

[shrewd rampart]

you could probably run it with shatter strike and dual wield the chronostasises

god i hope i made that plural correctly...

try to get one with LP and put crit on it

[charred mauve]

im not sure i rly must use 2 chrono

cause game have this too

and with some funny item like this, can be something

[shrewd rampart]

you dont have too

[shrewd rampart]

i'd be careful about that haste interaction. does the ward get consumed by chrono before humming bee activates?

• elemental attacks part too

honestly, its a question i'd ask mike in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs

[charred mauve]

instead of spellblade i can try lich with Harvest, but then i cant use RF and Death seal then

[native sail]

Shatterstrike honestly prefers dual Humming Bee

[shrewd rampart]

1% elemental versus flat 1 physical...

hard to say

[charred mauve]

is game dont have ward limit?

[shrewd rampart]

if it were +1 elemental...

[shrewd rampart]

no

[native sail]

Shatterstrike relies on ward to survive, Chrono ruins that

[shrewd rampart]

you couldn't spec into flame ward to alleviate that?

[native sail]

WIth the attack speed on Shatterstrike? No, not possible

[shrewd rampart]

i haven't played spellblade in a long time, so im purely speculating

[charred mauve]

i wanna abuse this swords and hell ton of ward, nut idk how, xD

[shrewd rampart]

dual humming bee seems like the play

you'll be gated by mana, but there are methods of generating it easily in the mage tree

[native sail]

Usually just mana strike works. I think that's the name anyway, haven't opened the game in a few months.

[charred mauve]

well, then i need 2 HB

[shrewd rampart]

i was thinking the same, but i forgot the name XD

[charred mauve]

cause i have only 1 with 0LP

[shrewd rampart]

you'll still want LP with crit btw

ideally

[charred mauve]

i understand

[native sail]

Humming Bee is relatively common, should be easy enough to get another

[charred mauve]

btw in plan i want use this boots too

like yea 0 hp but ton of ward

[shrewd rampart]

i dont know about that...

well

i guess its fine

[native sail]

Low life builds are kinda... meh. They work but they're just outclassed by life + ward.

[charred mauve]

anyway - what a point of playing only with "1000%profed builds"

[charred mauve]

they can be good at lich

but, lich with no RF and Seal seems meh

[native sail]

Lich is the exception because lich has excessive ward generation capabilities and damage

[charred mauve]

but problem in lich is he have leech

so i cant properly use body and boots

i can wear amulet what deny leech at all

[shrewd rampart]

thats why im skeptical

[charred mauve]

but its sound too stupid

[shrewd rampart]

i think it'll be fine

maybe

[charred mauve]

cause its my builds, they always looks dumb xD

[shrewd rampart]

no need for the amulet with only 1 current health drain effect

[charred mauve]

?

[shrewd rampart]

nevermind, i may have misinterpreted what you said

[charred mauve]

1 more q, game have damage what goes trough ward?

[native sail]

Don't believe so

[shrewd rampart]

it'd be funny if DoTs did...

hehe

[charred mauve]

cause this line alarm me

[native sail]

I mean, I haven't died through ward before, don't believe it goes through

[charred mauve]

oke

still dont sure is 35% current health lost will be enough to be like my lich

[shrewd rampart]

i think 35% ish is considered low health

[charred mauve]

like - my lich with just his passive

[charred mauve]

i mean - armour+boots can bring my health to like this

[native sail]

Yeah, ward generation is usually handled from something other than just Exsan/Last Step cuz that's not necessarily the fastest thing around

[shrewd rampart]

oh, you're wearing that too

[charred mauve]

i plan wear it

[shrewd rampart]

for ward generation, there are passive effects which gives ward per a second, then there are effects that give ward on hit. if your plan is to stack passive ward, it'll fail

you just can't get enough

[charred mauve]

i dont rely only on this 2 item

[shrewd rampart]

just checking

[charred mauve]

oop, dont mean to reply

just wannna use them for MOOOORE ward

just body give me that

[shrewd rampart]

my lich build gets to 6k (i was messing around with items for a bit)

[charred mauve]

kek

[shrewd rampart]

i think i used 3 uniques for it

[charred mauve]

soul feast dat strong?

[shrewd rampart]

well

i used soul feast, but i wasn't getting much ward from it if i recall

lemme find the uniques i was using

1 sec

[charred mauve]

oke

[shrewd rampart]

it was a belt, relic and off hand i think...

the first 2, im sure

the last one is a ?

[charred mauve]

i even know what relic

[shrewd rampart]

the dragon heart

relic of UIDNSBAKJLDSAKLJ

or something

[shrewd rampart]

the name was super off

but yeah

the belt comes from the first mono boss

[charred mauve]

this belt

[shrewd rampart]

yeah

[charred mauve]

and this offh?

[shrewd rampart]

nope

[charred mauve]

well

then idk

cause other for bleed

[shrewd rampart]

it was this XD

not a good item for my build, but iw as just messing around

[charred mauve]

but this, is worse version of this

[shrewd rampart]

agreed

but again

messing around

[charred mauve]

oke

[shrewd rampart]

tbf, i wouldnt use either of them if i were making the build seriously

i think

[charred mauve]

sound fair

probably chrono can be good with this:

harvest node

[shrewd rampart]

this would be good though

[charred mauve]

if i chose spellblade

2 of them, or 1?

[shrewd rampart]

2 unless you have a better unique

this is assuming you have LP btw

[charred mauve]

i understand, but i mostly unlucky with lp

[shrewd rampart]

yeah, it takes grinding

just understand that until you get LP, other items may be optimal

[charred mauve]

like even this was after 7 try

dam ring from orobis

still not sure what to try

harvest lich or shatter strike spellblade

[shrewd rampart]

well

acolyte tend to be harder to get started
