oh huh that's weird

i haven't heard that one before at least

!bug

[ripe brook]

Please post bug reports on our forum: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports. Thank you. :smile:

[native sail]

That.... is pretty big

Yeah, definitely bug report that

[grand rapids]

like....

[native sail]

That's impressive tbh

[dense root]

mastery selection any% world record

[native sail]

Like, I had someone skip me to mastery once and it fast tracked me from level 1 to 5, that's funny but also god damn that's bad

[dense root]

imo start monoliths at level 4

just grab some gear from your stash

[grand rapids]

it was lv3

[native sail]

Lowest level empowered monolith runner there

[grand rapids]

but after doing the mastery the portal opened to the quests following that

so lv28/32+ area iirc

[dense root]

hm how many passive points/idol slots do you lose this way

are there enough if you miss the first three chapters?

[native sail]

You miss a decent amount

Not enough to be THAT bad but enough to be noticeable

I think you still finish before Lagon

[void shard]

Anyone go up to the boat to kil the spider boss and after get sent to lvl 55 area instead the actual place your supposed to go to after jumping off??

[frail pilot]

theres no way to use "or" in filters right? Like I want a filter that does:
ring 2 of:
increased ele over time
attunement
strength
void or phys or poison or endurance

Only option is to copy the rule for each "or"?

[placid wigeon]

which boots for cold werebear?

[native sail]

Does Snowdrift do anything for werebear?

[cursive scaffold]

Will there ever be a point in picking up loot that you're not going to equip? Like.. vendor/disenchant/something like that?

[native sail]

I guess movement speed and some flat but... dunno what else

[placid wigeon]

for cold werebear it adds cold damage

[native sail]

Cuz it doesn't do frostbite, right?

[native sail]

You can break them into crafting materials using runes of shattering

[raw tinsel]

Is the entrance to temple of etera bugged ?

[placid wigeon]

mine does and snowdrift giving me 20% cold pen

[native sail]

Some people had issues. Sometimes relog helps, sometimes need someone to go in and tp you in

[native sail]

Ah. Fair enough. Most I was aware of were using Maelstrom which isn't frostbite.

[placid wigeon]

mealsetrom just st

maelstrom just ST*

entangling ur aoe

[gritty fiber]

We just was watching Steel rip, is the Emperor of Corpses arena smaller than before 0.9?

[worthy tiger]

What's the difference between spell damage and elemental damage?

[native sail]

Gotcha. I'd wager it's safe to replace them, Riley

[waxen sundial]

does cast speed do anything for traversal skills

[cursive scaffold]

Not all Elemental Damage is spells, some Spells deal Non Elemental damage

[native sail]

I mean. None? Spell damage affects spells. Ele damage would still affect ele spells. Spell damage doesn't affect attacks.

[waxen sundial]

spell is any spell elemental is fire ice lightning any source

[placid wigeon]

trying some mono with them

[worthy tiger]

So I guess spell damage is better than elemental

[native sail]

Huh?

[waxen sundial]

if your using elemental spells either will work, if your spell isnt elemental you want spell damage

[worthy tiger]

+50 spell dmg is better than +50 elemental dmg

[waxen sundial]

depends

[native sail]

...only if it's a spell?

And if it is an ele spell they're equal

[worthy tiger]

Well it applies to everything

[native sail]

So like...

No it doesn't

If you aren't using a spell then you get nothing from spell damage

[cursive scaffold]

Spell damage applies to Spells.
Elemental Damage applies to anything that deals Elemental damage.

[waxen sundial]

applies to all spells and all elemental damage it still has to fit the criteria

[native sail]

Spell

[loud wyvern]

there are melee abilites, not everything is a spell

[native sail]

Not a spell

[waxen sundial]

we are fully aware

[cursive scaffold]

Attack - It deals Elemental Damage = It's not a spell, no bonus from spell damage.

[native sail]

I... know?

[loud wyvern]

then why the fuck are you arguing?

[waxen sundial]

this shouldnt be a diffiult conversation lol

[loud wyvern]

You're both saying the exact same thing

[native sail]

Read?

[waxen sundial]

we're explaining the answer

[hasty tartan]

How do I know which items are worth shattering?

[waxen sundial]

whatever affixes you wanna take off

and if you think you wont use it as a crafting base

[hasty tartan]

Is it worth it for common ones I need like void res, or only rarer ones like + level to a spell?

[waxen sundial]

depends on how many shatter runes you have, and how many shards you need

[hasty tartan]

Okay, thanks - I don't have many

Of either

[waxen sundial]

id save your runes for rarer affixes then, youll find plenty of the common ones like res/ stats/ etc.

[hasty tartan]

Okay

Thanks

Is glacier sorc a decent starter? The skill feels good besides being mana intensive

[native sail]

Glacier falls off in monos quickly, unfortunately

[waxen sundial]

use whatever feels good to you

[native sail]

Great leveling skill though

[waxen sundial]

if you can make it work than make it work thats usually my motto

[hasty tartan]

Okay, thanks - does it scale hard off flat like I remember from earlier?

[outer mango]

Damn mono lagon slapped me so hard i felt it on my cheek

[waxen sundial]

flat damage is almost always better than % increases if thats what you mean

[hasty tartan]

Alright

[fiery shale]

How do you empower the monoliths? I cleared every standard monolith

in the past you could chose then by clicking the crystal

i dont ahve this option

[outer mango]

Bug

[waxen sundial]

flat damage is usually rarer where as % increase are available in passives/ skill nodes/ items pretty much anywhere

[cyan forge]

@fiery shale inbetween the top most three monolith areas theres a middle area. go click on it to enable empowered options for monoliths

[outer mango]

Its bugged sometimes and cant click

[cyan forge]

I had to rezone and it allowed me to click it

[fiery shale]

thank you

[hasty tartan]

The reason I chose glacier is that I remember it being a really good leveling skill and I like cold casters

[lusty mortar]

why this one char with an extra solo tag?

[native sail]

Hardcore Solo Solo Account Found. Why is it written like that? No clue. Why is it there? You died in HC and there is a visual bug.

[vital cobalt]

Are throwing builds in a good state right now? Finding some uniques for it, just curious.

[native sail]

Some are. What's got your interest?

[vital cobalt]

Just found a belt and some gloves,

the belt has +1 phys skills

[native sail]

Thorn Slinger

[vital cobalt]

and the gloves have like, cold damage stuff

[dense root]

thorn slinger is sweet

[native sail]

Riverbend Grasp?

[vital cobalt]

Yeah

thats the one

[lusty mortar]

yeah that could be it, opened the char selection on it and it is beyond krangled

[native sail]

Yuuuuup.

[vital cobalt]

Playing lich right now, but its my first char, not sure how throwing build compare.

like the idea of them though.

[patent mango]

is there a fast way to level alts?

[dense root]

not really? you can use dungeons to skip part of the campaign and then you'll get a little extra experience for being underleveled but it's not substantially faster at leveling

[outer mango]

I wonder how fun leveling alts is when all 12 chapters are in

And after u've done it 200 times

[patent mango]

I'd guess the same amount of fun as poe

[dense root]

like i said you can skip a lot of the campaign via dungeon

it just doesn't increase the speed at which your level goes up

so you'll be entering monoliths way underleveled

which is fine if you have the appropriate gear

[patent mango]

that's the soulfire one yea?

[outer mango]

and still you have to run points/idols quests

[dense root]

there're two other dungeons right now but yeah

more dungeons coming later on though

[pallid crag]

hey, is bladedancer's apostate node bugged? the stats aren't showed in my character sheet

[deep hatch]

Were quest echos for monolith in multiplayer meant to only give credit to one person at a time? Or has that changed already?

[ripe fossil]

is high corruption a damage barrier or a defense barrier

[obtuse bay]

im farming an empowered monolith for unique helm nodes and things are starting to get pretty spicey mod wise. is there a strategy for me to reset these once they get too hard for me to do? would love general advice on hunting these nodes. thanks!!

[dense root]

i believe it increases both health and damage

[native sail]

Mostly defense, go high enough and it loops back around though

[dense root]

oh wait you meant on the player character? yeah you want defenses then

[ripe fossil]

okay, thanks

[crimson drift]

@native sail the thing about the poison stacking on void resis, was the hitbox, for some reason big mobs near walls are extremely hard to hit

[native sail]

That checks out

[crimson drift]

merksman

https://tenor.com/view/batman-derp-tongue-out-gif-8169679

[tall cipher]

Is there anywhere we can seee some advanced stats like "chance to chill / chance to shock"? Can't find it in character page

[compact steppe]

does this cost mana to summon?

[sterile widget]

@tropic nebula you mentioned Smite can't hit Lagon. I killed Lagon in 0.8.5 with direct cast smite just the other day but I keep hearing people say the hitbox is wrong. Do you have a video you can share with this issue?

[forest orchid]

Is there any way to upgrade The Judicator Two-handed Spear from Level 76 and its stats to higher level and better stats?

[thorn ermine]

man it takes forever to gain corruption, low level corruption echos are so boring.

they need a faster way to gain stability

[dense root]

only if it has legendary potential

[patent mango]

using umbral blades on the zones with all the water is near impossible because they get stuck in the ground right infront of you

[spring raft]

Will Pernicious Pact work with Lone Watcher?

[tropic nebula]

no video example for smite, i just added it as an example people often mention. im playing a mage atm and i literly cannot hit lagon with static/surge and the zaps from enchant weapon, only way for me to dmg him with my current selected skills is manastrike and the spark charges manastrike applies xD

[vast lotus]

does anyone have a support paladin build please?

[crimson drift]

the rune to transform a item into unique is suppost to be rare af, or im just unlucky?

[sly dock]

health on kill works if minions kill stuff?

[crimson drift]

i think theres a guide on youtube

[patent mango]

they are pretty rare, found 5 so far

[brave ibex]

no

[crimson drift]

aight ty

[sterile widget]

Fair enough. Well, check out my vid and see if youre targeting the same spots as i did (middle part is sped up)

Direct link didnt work. Embedded here. See if it works

#💬┃general message

[torpid sierra]

Is there a sweet spot for exp when trying to level? Like if I am 7 levels under the area level is that better or worse?

[wide rapids]

if you are more than 5 levels under it treats it as only levels 5 above

so if you are 45 in a 52 area you will get xp like it is a lvl 50 area

[vast lotus]

would it be advisable to make my own build?

[torpid sierra]

Okay, that kinda makes sense. I am 78 in an 85 area so it would be like 83 area

[tropic nebula]

says that the video is archived and cannot be watched

[native sail]

It's been changed to 10 with this patch

[torpid sierra]

Does this mean I can be level 75 in an 85 area and get the same exp all the way to level 85?

[native sail]

Yup

[candid hill]

Do the exclusive echo rewards when unlocked work on both normal and empowered timelines?

[native sail]

They don't have to be unlocked, they're just a lot more common in empowered

[candid hill]

Ahh kk

[dense root]

it probably won't be optimal but you can definitely get through the campaign at the very least with anything remotely reasonable and respeccing is very accessible if you realize you messed up somewhere and need to adjust later on

so i guess that's a long way of saying yes

[rich jay]

Is there a way to upgrade the basic snowblind into the higher level one?

[native sail]

Nope, just get lucky and find it

[silent osprey]

guys
can u use the eternity cache with rare items? or only exalted items?
and
is there a way to turn rare items into exalted items?

thanks

[native sail]

Only exalted. Cannot turn rares into exalted.

[silent osprey]

ty sir

[native sail]

Ma'am* :P

[candid fox]

any of u guys have a solution to LE-51?

[candid hill]

Also those are "rewards" as in the reward from the actual echo and not just increased drop rate right?

[native sail]

Correct, yes

Only on your account

[native sail]

For clarity, you're talking about what the echos say they give and not blessings right?

Yeah

[bold summit]

Would anyone happen to know, does the Icicle Marksman (the reign of winter build, I think it's also called Bow Mage) scale with +flat spell dmg? My friend is playing a support druid and we wanted to know if Id get her spell dmg buffs

[vast lotus]

are paladins the only healers in the game?

[native sail]

I believe it does

Support can help you with it

[forest orchid]

Should I be using these Arena, Soulfire Bastion Keys as I get them? I've been saving them up because I don't know what those areas would do for me

[bold summit]

Thanks

[native sail]

Soulfire is a dungeon, arena is basically wave survival. They each have their own rewards, so up to you.

[sterile widget]

😦 I'll try to upload to YouTube a bit later and send a link

[forest orchid]

Does the level I do them at matter at all?

[native sail]

Somewhat. They have levels to them so up to you if you wanna do them underlevel. They're done in tiers, each tier is higher level than the previous with the fourth and final one being level 100

[rough sequoia]

anyone has this running linux native /wayland?

[tropic nebula]

appreciated

[candid hill]

Yep.

[native sail]

Okay yeah, that's just raw drops

[candid hill]

Just means I'll see more "Rewards unique/set ring and amulet pop up more often" is what I understood from your answer 🙂

Also blessings hate me, but that's a different problem lol. RNG 😦

If I want to test another character, do I have to complete the entire campaing again? How do you guys suggest I proceed to optimize my time with a second build?

[barren kayak]

Does quest end bosses count as rare enemies for echo modifers?

[dry narwhal]

yes

[snow lake]

awesome thanks!

it's better now that you're in monos, but you'll be lower powered if you redo your main dps skill, so just keep that in mind

[stark beacon]

so ive been trying to farm Atrophy gloves from the black sun boss. the wiki says its a 50/50 drop chance between the chest and gloves. ive got chest 4 times in a row lol.

[native sail]

I honestly don't know the answer, this is math shit that I am bad at

[thorn ermine]

kek, will try it for biology

[outer mango]

tomorrow i have to farm aaron's will unique, makes me sad already knowing my luck

[thorn ermine]

doesn't show up anywhere on stat sheet. T1 is 4% reduced damage taken on block

but can't see what it does

[forest dock]

what do i do with rune of ascendance?

[tranquil nimbus]

You can upgrade a rare to a unique

[forest dock]

is there a way to target

[thorn ermine]

it's prob multiplicative with block effectiveness, not additive.

[outer mango]

use it to item and ti turns to random unique of that item base

[tranquil nimbus]

Not base

[forest dock]

thanks

[tranquil nimbus]

Of that item type

[forest dock]

so just random

[tranquil nimbus]

It can be any wand base if you do a rare wand

If you need a wand tho you can use them on wands. Same thing for other item types

[celest fox]

hi, can some1 please help? our quest (drednaught) got bugged. after alric we cant jump of the deck to progress. we need a waypoint to Farwood. Hardcore. can some one pls assist?

can some1 give me a waypoint on HC to Farwood? game bugged

[deep lagoon]

Does anyone know if the "Last Wish" node for Sigil is worth it? It's the 6% chance to proc sigil on kill.

[noble adder]

Am I allowed to play with my macros on my mouse and keyboard?

[simple meadow]

Are caster (spell damage) based legendaries inherently less interesting because there is no + spell damage on exalted bases? A T6 +attack damage modifier can make an otherwise trash, melee weapon but caster weapons can’t right?

[outer mango]

i dont think macros are allowed

[dense root]

you can get +spell damage exalted

[outer mango]

maybe if its only 1 action per 1 press

[dense root]

why wouldn't you be able to

[zinc thunder]

if im trying to remove a suffix, is it better to remove or chaos?

[winter folio]

Does anybody know if for Maelstrom the node "healing winds" works on yourself or only people you're playing with.

[simple meadow]

You can?!?! Is that new as of 0.8 or. 0.9?

[noble adder]

Yeah its like im pressing one time FT1 and it spams for example R

[simple meadow]

I don’t think + spell damage (equivalent to + melee damage) is possible. There is % Spell Damage, but not + Spell Damage

[spare pine]

are staffs and staves different?

[thorn ermine]

what's the best thing to rune of ascendance for a hammer sentinel? shield is out bc many boss drops

[spare pine]

looking for the melee/spell damage hybrid w/ -mana cost staffs

[outer mango]

no its multiple actions then with one press

[crimson drift]

so ive bene playing for like 20 hours now, never got a dc normaly, but i already got 5 dcs inside arenas....is something fcked with arenas?

[thorn ermine]

don't think so, could be like hard FPS drop causing an internet timeout? idk

[crimson drift]

probabbly not, i play on all low and vsync, never had fps dropping

also this last dc was like in one of the last waves, almost no mobs in area

[sage shale]

how do I get to other side

[crimson drift]

go around oO?

[silk star]

Portal to the left

And walk around

[sage shale]

hmm can't find anything xd

[noble adder]

It's a bit silly that they don't allow it

[simple meadow]

Oh can you teleport through a time rift

[sage shale]

I clicked on rift but nothing happend and it disappeard

[simple meadow]

Is there a purplish time ports nearby? You might find that in the past/future there is bridge

[cursive scaffold]

When in Werebear Form, can you use you rother abilities?

[deep lagoon]

Is Ascendant Liturgy worth the 40% fire and phys pen on judgement?

[simple meadow]

Miki I’d log out log in and look for a solution that way— I haven’t heard of such a bug so maybe the portal out is in a different location than the portal in?

[spare tartan]

WHy did they remove general chat channel?

[outer mango]

they didnt

[brave vale]

Is % physical damages on weapon local or global? Does it increase bleed?

[outer mango]

restart game

[tranquil nimbus]

Should be global.

[spare tartan]

No on discord. They just opened it back up? lol

[urban elbow]

Does anyone know where i can post a duping bug?

[tranquil nimbus]

Check character stats sheet. It should show a buff to increase % on physical. If it does then yeah it's global

[outer mango]

or you misclicked it

[waxen sundial]

pretty sure Mike said they are supposed to start dropping in end game and theyre extremely rare

[native sail]

No

[bright ice]

does using a rune of destruction on higher tier mods give you more shards?

shattering*

[quick dagger]

Can anyone confirm if there is a way to power level a new character once you reach end game?

[thorn ermine]

nope

[brave ibex]

You get a random amount of shards up to the tier of the affix, so yeah it can. Rune of Removal always gives the max amount of shards for whatever it removes

[thorn ermine]

they did the 10 lvl max for that purpose. This game does need quicker ways to get to high corruption. Huge chore to push it up.

[spare tartan]

Is there an Item comparable to the insane power and rarity of say a Mageblood in POE? I

[native sail]

I wouldn't say any item is that good because that's an item so strong you can play damn near anything on it. But there's a few things that are very, very rare and extremely good in general, yes.

[woeful furnace]

I spent too much time in this room and zone bugged and doesnt allow me to use timetravel or skills, but it did eat my gear. Is there anything i can do to at least get my gear back from it?

[sonic fiber]

Hello.

I'm new to 0.9 (played before, but a long time ago)

I'm kind of torn between the cold dot werebear build and fire necromancer. I'm curious if cold dot werebear falls off hard? I see a lot of comments about it being a very comfy playstyle, but not much about how well it does at end game.

[spare tartan]

I kind of hope they add some insane chase items, it's what motivates me in other ARPG's

[pastel pebble]

Werebear is currently experiencing some bugs

[sonic fiber]

I see. In that case I guess I'll steer clear of it.

[copper fable]

Cold werebear does not fall off

[dry narwhal]

cold dot werebear isn't fantastic single target but it is a chonky boy

[unkempt spade]

Hey guys, ive just started playing Last Epoch, currently playing as Beast Master level 27, enjoying the class and was wondering if it is possible to go full melee with it? Cant find a guide for the current release, so i was wondering maybe someone has info about it. Forgot to mention that im not a fan of werebear looks.

[copper fable]

its very strong through all levels of progression, and has imo some of the best minmax potential making good use of the gearing system.

[quartz stone]

Can anyone recommend a unique amulet for end game void knight autobomber? if any 😄

[sonic fiber]

I see. How does fire necro compare?

Torn between those two builds atm.

[dry narwhal]

good bossing, average to low clear

[brave ibex]

Absolutely, Beastmaster is a strong spec for pure melee because of "Aspect of the Shark" nodes in it's passive tree

[sonic fiber]

I see!

[dry narwhal]

like its fine for clear if you have a lot of minions, but its not a screen clearer

[unkempt spade]

Is there a build i could follow? Im completely green in this game and havo no knowledge on what works with what.

[sonic fiber]

thank you for the insight.

And leveling up is mostly via thorn totems?

[native sail]

I'd be surprised if that put anything even close to the power level of MB or HH in this game.

[brave ibex]

I'm not sure there is a popular build guide but it's not overly complicated, you can use Swipe or Upheaval and pick any node that says 'Aspect of the Shark', you'll be good to go

[dry narwhal]

totem is the easy way but im a fan of wolf levelling too

[surreal lily]

Trying to do the quest "The Immortal Empire" and the defend the seer part just won't start. anyone experience this and have a fix?

[dry narwhal]

i've heard of problems with it but all i can suggest is relog :c

[sonic fiber]

wolf leveling just speccing into wolfy boys? i never done primalist before

[lone garnet]

in party play, corruption is only awarded to whoever opened the echo. is this intentional or a bug? kinda makes party play pointless if only 1 person is getting corruption

[neat venture]

heyo, does Serpent Strike > Venom Lunge iss bugged/ not working?
It does not lunge, it does not consume its stacks, does almost no DMG, my char is T posing every time i use this skill.
Tried to relog, also restarted the game.

[prime quarry]

Okay, I have 24 points spent on Mage (that's what game shows me anyway) and when I try to remove point's from one of the skills it says I need 20 points in Mage tree because I have skill further down the tree, but I still have that 24, wth, what am I missing?
NVM I figured this out, that's bit complicated but got it

[dense root]

it's not 20 points total it's 20 points before the skill further in the tree

you can't respec points in a way that would leave your tree in a state it couldn't get to by just putting all the points in normally

[native sail]

Are you using a spear?

[neat venture]

yeah

[native sail]

Well shit. Probably a bug then.

[neat venture]

yeah, t posing lead me to that conslusion 😄 but wanted to ask to be sure 😄

[grizzled copper]

how do i unlock the blood frost and death mono i just completed reign of dragon mono

[tropic nebula]

hmm ok will try it, but the problem with static is u cannot target it (its basicly just an aoe close to you) and surge performs some weird pathfinding no matter where u aim it, ill make a video once im killing him for empowered blessing 🙂

Yeeeeeah, that happens when people don't use spears, but that's not the case here so go ahead and report it

I mean... why wouldn't they? I can see that that they are trying to be more casual and less grindy than others ARPGs but there is still that slice of community like myself that wants to min max perfection. I guess getting that 4LP Legendary with good affix rolls is pretty close but there is nothing like the dopamine rush of getting that "godly" item per se

do you just need to do the level 90 timelines to get empowered monoliths or do you need to do every timeline to get them?

Because they are also trying not to go the way of absolute breakneck speed, and they want to keep their endgame encounters as something you have to interact with. So odds are there will never be something designed to make you go stupid fast and nothing that will just jack build power to the moon by default.

[cyan forge]

if its not clickable rezone and com eback

[little barn]

k

[spare tartan]

When did they mention this?

[native sail]

It's part of their design philosophy.

[hasty tartan]

Does maximum mana not affect mana regen?

[native sail]

It has been mentioned in dev chat a lot

[native sail]

Nope

[hasty tartan]

Ah, used to it being a % from PoE. Thanks.

[copper fable]

If you didnt know, bosses have reactive DR. if you do mega turbo damage, bosses actually become tankier. So an item that gives you mega damage but is mega rare is actually just not as useful as you would think.

Chase items in this game are defensive. Rav void, Bastion, Etc.

[spare tartan]

I see. I don't think it's out of the question for the game though. They said there would absolutely NO trading but then came out later with a compromise after all the feedback. Besides, economies are much shorter lived in seasons

[native sail]

They did not say there would be no trading

They said there would be no trade in 0.9

[cursive scaffold]

Does HEaling Effectiveness only effect the healing you RECIEVE or does it also effect the healing YOU DO to others?

[sleek quail]

21+ in this case means 22 or higher affix sum correct?

[bright ice]

wait is this true? If I do more dps they get tankier?

[native sail]

They specifically stated very, very long ago that they wanted no open trade

Since Kickstarter they have stated no open trade

And they have stuck to that

[native sail]

21 or higher

[native sail]

You'll still kill them faster, you just can't instantly delete them

[sleek quail]

so t5 t5 t5 t6 is enough ?

[native sail]

Yup

[copper fable]

Yes. This is a mechanic to prevent the meta game from devolving into "maximize damage and 1 shot the boss to ignore mechanics."

[sleek quail]

ty

[spare tartan]

One of the factions is open trading though, right?

[native sail]

It is not open

It has restrictions

[copper fable]

if you trade an item it can no longer be traded for example

so if you bought an item, you cant resell it

[spare tartan]

limited in items but still open in the sense that its not restricted between just you and your party

[cyan forge]

Thats a beautiful thing imo (reactive dr on boss)

[hasty tartan]

How high can the reactive DR go?

[native sail]

Open trade means any item sold anytime to anyone as many times as you want

[autumn plover]

should i be using the keys ive got? im like level 86 and ive not used a single one

[echo hemlock]

is there a reason i cant lunge at my ally even with "to your aid" allocated on it?

[native sail]

Bugs

[copper fable]

The trade also costs a resource you obtain by playing the game. Which means you cant really hideout trade or freely trade left and right. You will be limited in the amount of trades per hour you can make by faction juice.

[shell hound]

recently made it to the endgame and currently on the first Timeline and so confused...one of the guides says to get 'good bases to t5 affixes' but how do you do that? most of the items that drop (blue/yellow) already have affixes and most of them are not very useful....do you just grind monoliths until you get good drops? I'm still using level 20-30 items 😐

[outer jay]

where would I find a glass cannon build

[native sail]

What Dice said

[bright ice]

how do you know how many suffixes/prefixes an item can have?

[native sail]

You take items with 1-3 affixes you already want, upgrade them to max, and roll whatever isn't what you want into what you do want

[native sail]

2 and 2

[copper fable]

Not sure on this, its pretty complicated

[spare tartan]

Agree to disagree. All trading has rules even if you do put more restrictions on it. I believe adding chase items to the game that are VERY rare would be beneficial to the more hardcore base.

[shell hound]

ok ty will try that

[bright ice]

ah ok, ty

[valid adder]

Does cooldown recovery speed affect things like Arcane Lightning in the mage passive tree?

[native sail]

This is how they define open trade and is also part of how the other two major ARPGs on market defined open trade, so you're wrong

[copper fable]

They did that already, its called rav void and bastion and orian's eye, and omnis. Like im not sure what you are saying

[vestal mauve]

does inc spell dmg inc cold dmg ? or it needs to be elemental dmg over time

[native sail]

Is it a cold spell?

[hearty pier]

anyone else have issues with chat not working?

[vestal mauve]

yeah

[native sail]

Is it an ailment?

[spare tartan]

Again, agree to disagree. It is limited open trade

[native sail]

Fine, agree to disagree with how it has been described by the people making it, whatever

I simply do not care

[spare tartan]

Same

[spare pine]

anyone having issues picking up potions??

[dense root]

oh yeah? if orian's eye is so rare then why do i already have one online? checkmate atheists

(i agree with you and deias about trade)

[valid adder]

Does cooldown recovery speed affect things like Arcane Lightning in the mage passive tree?

[native sail]

Because you're a fucking madman with stupid luck

[dense root]

if i was really lucky gaspar would stop giving me the wrong gloves

[sinful laurel]

they dont pick up if you already have the max slots filled

[sinful laurel]

anything with a cooldown

[spare pine]

lol i'm aware

[native sail]

No, explicitly skills with cooldowns

[spare pine]

my slots are empty

but I can't pick them up

[native sail]

Are you wearing a belt?

[spare pine]

yes

it's only in the boss fight

[native sail]

Ah. Bug then.

[sinful laurel]

well thats what i meant haha, my bad

[spare pine]

the first mono boss fight

[hearty pier]

I’ve got a question for anyone running summon skeletons, or someone who knows the ins and outs of the game.

[native sail]

Shoot. I'll answer to the best of my ability.

[valid adder]

is unaffected by cooldown recovery speed?

[echo hemlock]

oh actually? nice i thoughti was just doing something wrong

[native sail]

It's not a skill so no reducing it

[hearty pier]

I’m using Ice Arrow which converts Fire Arrow to Ice Arrow for my Skelly Archers. Does this still scale with modifiers to Fire Spell Dmg? Does it scale with Cold Dmg? Or does it now scale with both?

[sinful laurel]

deias have you found any way or heard of any workarounds to opening up the fucking crystal reward after echoes?

[native sail]

It would scale with minion damage, not generic spell damage of any kind

[valid adder]

Ah okay, I dont see anywhere in the game, or my googlefu that tells me that cooldown recovery speed only affects skills.

[native sail]

Not that I know unfortunately

[pearl spindle]

Have they made any indication there will be more base classes added as we go on?

[sinful laurel]

fuck, figured. it is so infuriating

[native sail]

Possible in the future but unlikely before we have fourth masteries and that's also very far in the future

[ivory grail]

It seems like the freeze rate is applied to the final health in a group rather than to the health w/o multiplayer health increase. Do we know if this is true?

[pearl spindle]

A shame. I have nothing against the genderlock (and it would be beating a dead horse if I did) but the two female options being the exact same vanilla waifish thin model just annoys me...Got three VERY different male figures and essentially one female, was hoping for a new class~

[valid adder]

@native sail are you affiliated with EHG or just a devoted player?

[sinful laurel]

btw deias dropped a bastion randomly in an echo last night 🙂

[native sail]

I have zero affiliation with EHG I just really like the game and soak up information

[native sail]

False, I have a single Bastion under my belt in offline

[valid adder]

rgr that, thanks for answering everyones questions in here

[hearty pier]

Sorry, I meant to put Minion ahead of all those. Would Ice Arrow still scale with Minion Fire Damage or is it converted to Minion Cold Damage?

[native sail]

Converted to cold

[sinful laurel]

sorry, let me be clear. I dropped one 🙂

[native sail]

Oh. Fuck you

[dense root]

ha

[ivory grail]

Every time I'm here, Deias is here too. 🙂 I think EHG should start paying them a salary! 🙂

[sinful laurel]

Anyone know if the "Waiting in queue" number is accurate?

[sinful laurel]

nope

hey guys i beat all 3 of the 90s monos boss but when i go to the middle i can't seem to unlock empowered mono, am i doing something wrong ?

[native sail]

I've been off work for a bit for health reasons. I go back in tomorrow night, sadly.

[native sail]

Some folks have fixed it after a restart

[sour dagger]

ah tks ill try it

[native sail]

Man I Just got some nasty deja vu

[forest orchid]

Again?

[native sail]

[acoustic thicket]

any1 know where is divine era rift location

[sour dagger]

it didn't work

can't see any chest or cutscenes

[native sail]

Uh... well, shit. Might be a "hopefully fixed tomorrow" scenario

[hearty pier]

I’m not seeing a Minion Freeze Rate Multiplier stat. Do Minion skills that have Freeze Rate scale with your character’s Freeze Rate Multiplier?

[faint plinth]

Curious, Im level 6 but my mage is level 4.. shouldnt I have 5 points by now?

[native sail]

Maybe off a side quest

[thorn ermine]

Does increased glove drop rate from a blessing affect the chances of a higher drop when you do one of the glove echos? You're guaranteed a set/unique gloves, but does the blessing help here at all?

[native sail]

Not that I am aware of.

[bronze dew]

I typically play support roles in multiplayer games. If I go with Paladin, will I still be able to solo when I don’t want to find a group in end game or would I be better off with another class? Thanks

[native sail]

Increased drop rate does nothing to a guaranteed item type drop

[faint plinth]

no I mean by normally leveling, I go from level 1 to level 6, thats 5 points to the passive tree, why do I see 4 points invested only with 0 unspent points?

[thorn ermine]

alright ty

[native sail]

You'll be fine in solo

[bronze dew]

Cheers

[native sail]

Oh, you only get 98 points via leveling

[faint plinth]

so you dont get 1 point per level?

[deep lagoon]

How does the 100% crit chance on ignited enemies with Judgement work? Is it 100% increase on my base crit value, or is it a guaranteed crit on ignited enemies?

[native sail]

Correct. I believe your first level doesn't give you a point and of course you don't have one to start as level 1.

[native sail]

Post the node?

[vocal berry]

Why are my +2 skill stuff not working?

[native sail]

Grand total is 113 if you're curious

[native sail]

Visual bug, put the points in anyway

[pearl spindle]

Before I get to far in to messing with it: Is it valid to make a Lich in to a 'tank' or is it going to feel gimmicky compared to more normal melee tanky classes?

[deep lagoon]

https://i.gyazo.com/683b370014dcd40c1ab87f89b680ae23.png

[vocal berry]

Thanks 🙂

[native sail]

Hm... I'm not sure on the math here. Might be guaranteed.

[next lotus]

guys can anyone please tell me how do i untrack quests?

[native sail]

Lich is way more tanky than you think

[native sail]

You can't

[brittle sluice]

Im probably missing something obvious in the loot filter but why do my items sometimes have a clear and sometimes a see trough background? same for shards that are clear in some areas and see trough in others.

[native sail]

Bbugs

[spare pine]

what's the best order to go to get to the relic echo?

[pearl spindle]

Oh I know it can be tanky, I just wanted to make sure it was not some gimmicky kind of tanky 🙂

[deep lagoon]

The ability should have a base crit chance, or if it's based on my overall crit chance

[native sail]

The base crit chance of all skills (except DoTs which can't crit) is 5%

[deep lagoon]

Hmm ok

[native sail]

Cap endurance and acquire some leech and ward gen, you'll be fine

[pearl spindle]

Like "Sure you're a tank but only when a reaper and then you have to run screaming like a chicken with its head cut off for 20s of CD" or something like that.

[native sail]

Reaper can be kept up permanently for echoes and boss fights through leech

[next lotus]

WTF? please tell me that i can abandon them

[native sail]

You can't

[pearl spindle]

That leads to another question: can you truly overpower your aura of decay or will it always be a 'you need to work a bit at it' since every form of buffing its skill web seems to also make it hurt you more.

[native sail]

It's been brought up a bit recently. You can check forums for some posts on it perhaps, Joe.

[native sail]

Aura of Decay sucks

[sinful laurel]

deias do you actually play AND respond so quickly here?

[pearl spindle]

Running around going 'whee I am a cloud of poison, wheeeeee~' is pretty funny though!

[native sail]

yes

[sinful laurel]

crazy person 🙂

[next lotus]

ty my man im level 10 and i already have 1232154213 quests

[native sail]

I die a lot as a result

[next lotus]

just wanna do the ones that gives skill points

[sinful laurel]

well yeah with -30% phys res

[pearl spindle]

I suppose there are much better ways to poison enemies that do not involve poisoning yourself though as lich.

[native sail]

Prim I'm leveling a mage now because I still can't tell what the fuck I'm gonna actually do yet

[sinful laurel]

do you have one of each class now?

[forest orchid]

What does +1 Level of Holy Aura do for Holy Aura if it's already Level 20?

[sinful laurel]

since march 9th?

[native sail]

Nah, no Sentinel yet

[brave ibex]

Aura of Decay isn't really something you use to actually damage enemies

[native sail]

Gives you an extra skill point

[pearl spindle]

-squints at Lich builds on epochtools- Oh. What variety. Death Seal, Soul Feast, Hungering Souls, Reaper, +Whatever else you want, this skill doesn't matter.

[autumn plover]

anyone else getting invisible rampaging husk bug?

[native sail]

Yeah, Lich has the problem of being a one trick

[robust verge]

is arcane momentum working correctly? it says it refreshes the duration of stacks, but they appear to be falling off in sequence in the buff icons

[pearl spindle]

That makes me immensely sad.

[native sail]

It makes everyone sad

It's stupid strong. But has very little you can do.

[autumn plover]

also should i be doing arenas/dungeons as i get keys? ive just been hoarding them

[pearl spindle]

I should have looked at that before I invested time in her I guess.

[sinful laurel]

i do a marrow shards lich but only because i am stubborn lol

it does work with low life but

[pearl spindle]

Ya, I was enjoying a dumbass aura of decay build but now I imagine it won't do much once I get to real content.

[native sail]

Yeeeeah. AoD is just... bad

[pearl spindle]

Which makes me imagine poison lich is bad period.

[lone garnet]

does anyone know if corruption not being awarded to all party members is intentional?

[valid adder]

Does the meteor that spawns from harbinger of stars copy my skilled meteor? Or is it just a baseline meteor that falls?

[valid adder]

Nice

[barren pagoda]

Wait then what's it for

[pearl spindle]

I was looking forward to going Putrid Reaper/Death Inside Harvest upgrades and bonking enemies with 20-30 poison stacks with massive harvest hits.

[silk snow]

In the current patch, what would be more ideal for a storm crows build? Shaman, Druid or Beastmaster? I want to make the crows the majority of my damage, and synergize with them with tons of lightning damage.

[barren pagoda]

What's the one trick cuz I've been using AoD lmao

[native sail]

This

[brave ibex]

Utility

[pearl spindle]

I am not sure I see a way to apply poison very fast except with AoD though.

[barren pagoda]

What utility does it have tho, I dont remember anything

[sinful laurel]

hungering spirits

and curses

other ways too

[barren pagoda]

U mean with the staff?

[sinful laurel]

and with the nodes to reveal festering spirits or whatever they are called

[pearl spindle]

I do have Endless Decay Spirit Plague but it feels SLOW.

[woven zinc]

Can someone explain to me how to understand this node? Is it just a flat 24% more crit or is it if you have 50% crit its makes it x 1,24 = 62%?

[pearl spindle]

To apply poison at least.

[sinful laurel]

its def not ideal

but combined with some other sources it can work

[pearl spindle]

Ya, I typically only see it get 5-6 stacks before they start falling off.

[brave ibex]

It's more crit, so 1.24x your existing crit

[sinful laurel]

you just cant rely on one applicator

[pearl spindle]

Which alas makes it pretty unrealistic to use probably.

Since interrupting my Harvest bonks every 3-4 seconds to reapply others skills seems likely to be impractical.

[sinful laurel]

if you are playing harvest/reap i feel like poison isnt the way to go anyways

you are hybriding yourself out of both ways of damage

poison lich is a cast spammer imo

[steel merlin]

You can use some duration skills to apply poison, like the walking dudes for example

[native sail]

Oh. Maybe I just make a Sentinel now.

[pearl spindle]

So poison bonk Harvest is just bad too, just like AoD...?

[sinful laurel]

o. m. g.

[native sail]

[sinful laurel]

its just hard because dots in LE are all about stack application, and bonk is not a fast applier

[native sail]

I'm sorry I'm an indecisive bitch

[spare pine]

how can you tell if multi or %increased is better?

[brave ibex]

Poison just got a huge nerf, but it was never good for slow hitting builds

[pearl spindle]

Bonk doesn't apply it at all I think, it just hits harder on poison.

[steel merlin]

Multi is better almost always

[sinful laurel]

yeah you are trying to do a weird hybrid that may work with the right gear

[steel merlin]

Like 99% of the times

[sinful laurel]

but will be hard to force

[spare pine]

ty

[pearl spindle]

I mean the skill tree exists so you would think it exists for a reason...

But I guess that reason is 'haha, trap, you wasted time'

[sinful laurel]

there are a lot of skill tree paths that technically exist that I would never use lol

[pearl spindle]

Oh wait Putrid Reaper can apply poison.

[dense root]

is this good? i have a 2lp one but just dumped it in my stash with the rest of my items

[pearl spindle]

I only took it to get Putrid Reaper because up to +90% damage on poison seemed great.

[brave ibex]

It's good for levelling and maybe ignite builds

[sinful laurel]

like i said, AoD lich can absolutely work, you just cant be a walking aura of death with nothing else

[buoyant roost]

It allows you to invest another point into Holy Aura. So rather than 20 points, you get 21.

[dense root]

it seemed weak but what do i know

[sinful laurel]

AoD, hungering spirits, curse, etc

[pearl spindle]

Ya, the idea was for AoD mustly to be on to ramp up the poison for Death Inside poison bonks.

But it seems that was a failed concept.

[sinful laurel]

it may work with supraoptimal gear

maybe return to it as a meme project 🙂

[radiant flare]

Is spell damage on a weapon the same as adaptive spell damage?

[sinful laurel]

but there are absolutely ways to do a poison lich

[native sail]

Like on an implicit?

[radiant flare]

the prefix

[pearl spindle]

Actually the idea was to have fun with Bonk, haha.

[sinful laurel]

that can work too!

[pearl spindle]

Poison just seemed an ideal way but I was not reading it right it seems.

[sinful laurel]

but i would build that as a crit necrotic damage big hit monster

[native sail]

% increased spell damage? Or just like +X spell damage? Then yes, adaptive basically.

[radiant flare]

yeah the +x, thanks

[pearl spindle]

I was going for tanky bonk with a lot of HP and Mirror Soul spam refreshing my ward...

[native sail]

Yeah, it'll split between the tags of the skill

[radiant flare]

the wording is different on the buildplanner and I wasnt sure if it was a mod I just never got shards for

[sinful laurel]

i def like the idea, with a bit of tweaking you can make it work for sure

[terse juniper]

Why does it seem like every time I go to a new area it has been sporadically discovered already even though I've never been there before?

[dense root]

bug

[pearl spindle]

Hmm. I get the feeling I will have to redo a lot.

[terse juniper]

Oh really damn. Thank you. Was driving me crazy. Thought I was missing something

[pearl spindle]

Bone Curse and Spirit Plague are the only 'curses' until Warlock, right? Imagine there will be more there.

[cursive scaffold]

What does the number in the box to the left of the Shard, above "T1 Strength" mean?

[native sail]

How many shards you have

[native sail]

Yes

[cursive scaffold]

[native sail]

[outer jay]

for spiked totems in the spriggan tree does the healing totem take on the tags from the thorn totem?

[thorn ermine]

jeez it takes forever to up corruption, they need to change the mechanic here to allow buffed chars to skip stuff. lol

[native sail]

Post it real quick? Ibelieve it scales off it but just wanna make sure

[pearl spindle]

Ah, darn. Reaper form doesn't give a damn about Ward. Sorrow.

[cursive scaffold]

Yo I just had a "Critical Success" when upgrading an item, what does that mean and how does it happen?

[sinful laurel]

it does if you have a health to ward item like exsang

[native sail]

Random chance, upgrades another affix at the same time without eatin FP

[pearl spindle]

Ah, I have not made it far enough to see anything like that.

[native sail]

It can even upgrade the same affix twice

[outer jay]

.

[native sail]

Hmm... I believe it should scale off of Thorn totem tags, yes

[quartz finch]

if you enjoy the gameplay of aura of decay, swarmblade can kinda do the same thing.

[outer jay]

I just hope they some how add a dps meter or something so I can see if my build is actually doing damage

[quartz finch]

drop some bug, scoop them up into a big vortex of damage, zoom.

[native sail]

They won't

[light rock]

I got my first Unique that says Legendary potential 1. What does that mean?

[outer jay]

I can hope lmao

[candid elm]

There's test dummy things you can whack on by the Arena. Variety of different types.

[outer jay]

wait where are those

[native sail]

It means you can combine it with an exalted item in the Temporal Sanctum dungeon to add an affix off the exalted item onto that unique

[native sail]

Champion's Gate, it isn't fully accurate to endgame damage though

[light rock]

Woo boy, I have so many more questions now... Ill wait till I hit max level and can fool with this stuff

[outer jay]

ah well shit

[native sail]

[crisp laurel]

Hello, does this mean that body armour drops more often on any area of this specific mono?

[native sail]

No, it spawns nodes in it that guarantee a unqiue or set item of that type.

[pearl spindle]

Critical question: I was trying to figure out the difference between increased base crit chance and global increased crit chance but the in game guide says there is 'added crit chance and increased crit chance' - has it just not been updated and 'base crit chance' is now what 'added crit chance' used to be?

[worn sail]

So is armor shred more-or-less pointless past like 80 stacks?

[sinful laurel]

base crit chance is additive to the base of 5%. so if a skill says 2% increased base crit, your base crit for that skill is now 7%

[native sail]

Diminshin returns go brrrrrrrrr

[modest saddle]

I completed all level 90 monoliths and I didn't get any special quest or anything and I can't seem to open up any empowered monoliths. Any ideas?

[candid elm]

There's a flat increase and a percentage increase.

[pearl spindle]

So yes, it is what 'added crit chance' used to be in the guide.

[sinful laurel]

% crit chance global modifies that base amount

[wild epoch]

Would this blessing reduce the amount of helmets I get by increasing the 1h sword drop rate, or would I just get more loot overall, with the increase going to 1h swords?

[worn sail]

Yeah, but it looks like it's just hard capped to never go above an 85% increase in damage

[native sail]

Go to the island that connects all three 90s and click the crystal in the middle

[cursive scaffold]

+#% to Base adds the amount to the base crit chance before other modifiers. So if it's 5% it becomes 6%, and then increased by the other modifiers.

[wild epoch]

As in do I still get the same amount of overall loot, or more?

[modest saddle]

Nothing to click tho....hmmm

[native sail]

It isn't hard capped it just doesn't really make a noticeable difference

[native sail]

Some folks have fixed it be restarting

[sinful laurel]

relog, some people are having the same issue

[native sail]

Same amount but more of that type

[pearl spindle]

Awesome. The guide in game had different, likely outdated, verbiage which was the confusing part because it said 'increased crit' meant it was multiplicative instead of additive...but ALL crit text says 'increased' now 🙂

[native sail]

Game guide has some outdated stuff unfortunately

[autumn plover]

smoke weaver & bastion seem impossible to get

[wild epoch]

Ok so since I don't use any of the items the blessing offered, I should probably just leave without accepting one?

[native sail]

Sure if you want.

[pearl spindle]

I figured it was the case but better to ask than assume~

[native sail]

They're not, I have several Smoke Weavers and a Bastion in offline

[barren pagoda]

What builds can I do as lich WITHOUT the hungering souls staff unique and WITHOUT the bleed to ignite gloves? I simply do not have them yet but every single build requires them it seems

[real frost]

anyone having trouble with this quest ive cleared the whole map and nothing i can progress it

[sinful laurel]

if it exists its not impossible to get

[autumn plover]

ive got about 73 fulg shards

no weaver still

😭

[dry narwhal]

left side of the north square usually?

[candid elm]

I've been trying out both a marrow shards build and a hungering souls build as a Lich. Both worked fine without any uniques.

[dry narwhal]

desire sensorrrrrr

[autumn plover]

im not even playing a rogue rn i just wanna reroll that build

[prime quest]

Where can i get Solarum Greaves?

[sinful laurel]

marrow shards low life build works pretty well

[zinc thunder]

my temple is busted?

bricked or?

[pearl spindle]

I was eyeing up that juicy 'Iron Mouths' +50% base crit node for Harvest but then debating on if I want to go the route that has two totally useless points (Legion of the Lich, I am not using Minions at all really) or the REALLLLLY ham route that makes me self-bleed AND will eat all my mana for ward whenever I use harvest. Go all in on that Harvest Bonk Ward Tank. Or just ignore the node and get the no-condition 10% crit on the other side.

[candid elm]

I usually get 15/15 passives and 8/8 idols before switching to monos. You can press M and look in the lower left to see how many you've got. You'll hit this right after you get the Lance, if you want to switch then. Up to you, though.

[native sail]

I found a Bleeding Heart. I slapped it on my Sorc. I am the gigachad.

[pearl spindle]

...I think I gotta go the dumbass ward tank route. It's to dumb and silly.

[candid elm]

Yeah, I did them both as a Death Seal low life build

[pearl spindle]

Time to find only skills that cost 0 mana 🙂

[faint plinth]

those fire sprites that spam when casting disintegrate, is that a bug or what

they are incredibly noisy

feels like a bug

[orchid wave]

im at like 270% chance to bleed, but my bleed dmg is only 440. is it just attack speed from here on out? or another axis for scaling?

[thorn ermine]

found 2 LP2 uniques so far in 120+ corruption echo, do higher LP drop here more often? lol

[native sail]

Yes and no. Higher corruption is higher rarity. Higher rarity is higher unique drops. More unique drops means more chances for LP.

[candid elm]

Do you have points in Inferno?

[faint plinth]

no

[sinful laurel]

more chance to bleed is always good, and then just scale the bleed damage

[faint plinth]

its not specialized yet

[sinful laurel]

ias, base flat adaptive/physical damage, % physical damage, % damage over time, etc

[orchid wave]

with phys%? I'm trying to make multistrike bleed paladin and its goin ok just not amazing yet

[candid elm]

I haven't played Disintegrate in a while. Standing still tends to get you killed. Maybe that's just how it looks

[sinful laurel]

with enough swords you can def stack bleeds pretty well

[native sail]

Flat damage does nothing for bleed

[orchid wave]

I picked up the jousting node to try to help clear, but mayb thats a wasted point

[sinful laurel]

not according to LE tools, i hope it isnt wrong

[native sail]

It is wrong

[sinful laurel]

well thats fucked

[native sail]

Dammitt knows it's a visual error with it

[sinful laurel]

i always thought bleed was an exception

[native sail]

Yea we brought it to Dammitt's attention the other day

[sinful laurel]

gotcha

[sour dagger]

hey guys i beat all 3 of the 90s monos boss but when i go to the middle i can't seem to unlock empowered mono, am i doing something wrong ?

[sinful laurel]

known issue, try relogging

[sour dagger]

ok trying it now

[tiny haven]

Gonna ask in here and hope it's okay, please feel free to redirect me, I cannot seem to progress the quest "The Immortal Empire", the objective is to "Defeat the Imperial Commander!" and the only quest marker on the map is an NPC with a question mark above her head that has no dialogue

[orchid wave]

Deias and Primeval so more stacks then?

[native sail]

MORE STACKS

[sour dagger]

you're supposed to find an npc, clear mobs around her then talk to her

[tiny haven]

yup yup, I've gone around the map a few times and no more mobs to kill, she just has no dialogue

there's a voice line that happens when I click on her, but otherwise nothing

[sour dagger]

then maybe you missed a mob

[tiny haven]

tried relogging and redoing the map and it didnt change anything

[sour dagger]

or it's just bugged

relogging doesn't seem to fix the mono issue 😦

[little barn]

how do you rezone

[pastel pumice]

So.. went through a door and now my characters gear is invisible. Also why is there a face floating above me?

[bronze tree]

Anyone know if there is website for known bugs and issues? Specifically desyncs/ stuck in a skill animation.

[native sail]

Funny bug

[cyan forge]

@little barn by doing a loading screen to another area and coming back, also could relog i guess

[little barn]

I relogged and even restarted my computer but it's still not letting me click the thing in the middle

[candid elm]

There's a bug report section on the forums, if that's what you're asking about https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports/23

[cyan forge]

make a trouble ticket with your issue, for me rezoning fixed the issue

[bronze tree]

This should help. Thanks

[bright ice]

does lvl of a dungeon affect drops?

[native sail]

Yes

[sour dagger]

heavily yes

[candid elm]

Try relogging and approaching it from the bottom side

[little barn]

k

[bronze tree]

So does everyone have desync? I have pretty bad ones

[native sail]

Fine here

[sour dagger]

other exile you can't unlock empower mono too ?

[heavy crag]

whats droprate of Wings of Argentus?

[native sail]

Not high

[candid elm]

I didn't when playing by myself

[heavy crag]

10%?

[native sail]

Probably around there, 5-10% maybe

[bronze tree]

Hm okay. I guess I will have to look into this. I am just playing online server alone. Desync and feels wonky.

[heavy crag]

How about throne of ambition? also low?

[native sail]

Also fairly low. Those two are rare drops.

[little barn]

tried it and it didn't work

[heavy crag]

need these 2 and eye of reen

[orchid wave]

yo @native sail one more question, multistrike is great when there are adds but single is yikes?

[native sail]

I don't like Multistrike at all, Rive exists

[candid elm]

Sorry, I'm not sure what else you can do. I honestly think the whole unlocking empowered monos thing needs to be touched up.

[dry narwhal]

thats why i dont play multistrike

[native sail]

I find Rive to just be Multistrike but better

[orchid wave]

I tried vengeance hoping the iron blades would spread my bleed for me... dint work out. I guess rive attemp #3?

[little barn]

are you on offline mode?

[dry narwhal]

i've seen a lot of people that have offline chars having issues

[languid pelican]

how do you know what chapter u are in?

[sonic vault]

Same issue here. 2x chars offline

[dry narwhal]

press escape

[sonic vault]

No empowered

[orchid wave]

the melee dmg per bleed is what pushed me toward multi

[sour dagger]

yeah im in offline

[little barn]

same that might be why

[languid pelican]

ty

[royal mirage]

I've done all 3 level 90 Mono's and gone to the chest in the middle but unable to unlock Empowered, nothing happens anyone any ideas?

[bright ice]

is it possible to unsummon minions?

[dry narwhal]

remove skill from bar, then add it back

[candid elm]

Unfortunately a lot of people are having that issue with new offline characters https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/11p9m4t/bug_new_offline_characters_cant_get_access_to/

[willow tusk]

Anywhere i can farm for increase dropchance of aberrant call?

[bright ice]

ty

is there an easy way to check minion dps?

[dry narwhal]

no lol

[bright ice]

damn lol

[dry narwhal]

unique/set staff nodes in the monolith the stolen lance

[willow tusk]

aight ty!

[little barn]

Anywhere i can farm for increased dropchance of smoke weaver?

[keen pulsar]

If you are trying to target farm a unique that drops in a specific Mono like Reign of Dragons....do you do the corruption stuff and reset ever? Do you just keep going out looking for unique nodes?

[dry narwhal]

one of the monos, i dont remember where

[cedar quiver]

how do i open this door? 👀

[dry narwhal]

you only reset if you're pushing corruption in empowered

[willow tusk]

really? i reset whenever i dont see any interesting nodes within 2 jumps 😄

[mint raft]

do i have to redo the campaign each time i make a new character?

[proud lotus]

Do you have the complete the main story line to empower mono's? I cant figure it out lol

[dry narwhal]

you have to get the skill points and idols

[dry narwhal]

the campaign doesn't matter, you just need to complete the 3 level 90 monos

[little barn]

thanks

[candid elm]

I just get to 15/15 passives and 8/8 idols

[dry narwhal]

which in my experience is to the end of chapter 7, which doesnt take that long

[candid elm]

Yeah, right after you get the Lance. You can switch whenever you want, though. Up to you.

[candid elm]

Are you playing Offline?

[strange parcel]

is trade a thing atm or will it come out later?

[dry narwhal]

later

[native sail]

Trade: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/trade-development-update-introducing-merchants-guild-and-circle-of-fortune-factions/51994

[dry narwhal]

there's party gifting for now.

[strange parcel]

so I've been living for nothing...

[pearl spindle]

If a passive does not state a specific source how does it work? IE: "Bleed Chance: +7% per point" - does it just increase the chance of any existing source of bleed or does it give a universal bleed chance?

[native sail]

Universal chance

[pearl spindle]

Ah, so literally everything can cause bleed then?

[dry narwhal]

yep

[native sail]

Yep

[pearl spindle]

Interesting.

[autumn plover]

Any specific level to be using arena keys @ ?

[native sail]

I believe so

[brittle atlas]

Think so yeah

[cursive scaffold]

Is the Siege Ballista node "Siege Commander" broken? It most definitely DOES NOT grant you Frenzy whileyou're standing near them.

[proud lotus]

@candid elm no and I have completed EVERY mono, I have the blessings in each location.

I think i found it!, it was a thing in the middle I had to click on?

yep! yay ❤️ ty guys

[sinful laurel]

@native sail first ever singularity drop 🙂

[native sail]

I hate that thing

What a shit item

[candid elm]

After doing the 3 area level 90 monos, you should just need to go back to the area below them.

The one that splits into three paths. Click on the thing in the middle.

[proud lotus]

@candid elm yeah! Thanks so much!

[harsh river]

does the ends of storm mono got to the age of winter? ive done it twice and nothing

[native sail]

No it goes to Reign of Dragons

[sinful laurel]

just never seen one before!

[dry narwhal]

shame its so bad.

[wheat dome]

Sooo.... anyone seen "Throne of Ambition" drop ?
I've got 21 Kills of God Hunter Argentus so far.. and this is my loot

[dry narwhal]

do understand that not many people play ballistas

[native sail]

Unlucky. But yes people have dropped them.

[dry narwhal]

i know like 2

[wheat dome]

You probably know if it was empowered?

[native sail]

I think it HAS to be

[wheat dome]

Q_Q

[cursive scaffold]

I was just spec into it for the Frenzy buff, but it doesn't work lol.

[dry narwhal]

it doesn't

[placid wind]

whats the intended power leveling strat for ppl who like to play with others

[dry narwhal]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzCsCYEZKA

[eternal panther]

First time playing, spent 2 days leveling, and lich just couldn't click for me 😦 are necromancer builds fun? Lich sure feels powerfull but it has so many cooldowns to care about at the same time it's a little overwhelming for me.

Are there any less interactive classes someone with experience could recommend?

[native sail]

Ah okay.

[thorn ermine]

sentinel and bowman rogue seem EZ

[dry narwhal]

the emp drop is wings

[native sail]

That's my bad. Too many items to remember.

[dry narwhal]

that is why i google

[wheat dome]

yeah well I hope that is up to date.. will keep farm it and hope some day I will get a dev answer

[dry narwhal]

you should be farming empowered

[wheat dome]

because the Throne of Ambitions got buffed , so probably they put it in emp mode too

[native sail]

I mean. I have seen it posted since the update so it definitely is dropping

[wheat dome]

can you explain me how I get empowered ?

[native sail]

That thing is up to date

[pearl spindle]

Hmm...do 'Reduced Health Regeneration' effects do anything in Lich's Reaper form or are they only really an issue when in human form? I assume even though Reaper makes your regen not apply it does not set it to 'zero' so as long as you don't have more than -100% health regen it won't cause any harm?

[native sail]

It's datamined

[dry narwhal]

by that logic wings of argentus was nerfed so they should be switched

it isn't actually like that though.

[thorn ermine]

What is a Tier 4 boss equivalent to? Haven't done it yet. What corruption orobyss does it relate to most? etc

[pearl spindle]

Or does Reaper actually set Health Regen to zero so any -health regen will make it degenerate faster?

[tender bone]

so I've got a quick question but as I was looking through the mastery classes I noticed some of them look like their locked, are they locked or are they to be added in a future update?

[wheat dome]

True, can you explain me how to farm empowered version of this? and does it give me better dropchance?

if not, I will stick to grind

[dry narwhal]

you unlock empowered by completing the 3 level 90 monos

[native sail]

There are 3 missing, they will be in at 1.0

[pastel pebble]

Beat me again, Deias

[native sail]

[tender bone]

ah alright then thanks

[dry narwhal]

and empowered does have better item rarity/exp gained

[candid elm]

I've been trying out a Lich Hungering Souls build and a Lich Marrow Shards build. Both low life builds with Death Seal.

The Marrow Shards build is very active. The Hungering Souls a little less.

[native sail]

Boru wanna make it better? I alt-tabbed, typed half that, tabbed back in to potion, tabbed back to finish typing, and then tabbed back to kill the enemy and continue moving

[pastel pebble]

LMFAO

I'm on mobile, I'm bound to be slower

[pearl spindle]

And I am working on a dumbass no mana ward tank lich 'bonk' build based around the 'Wraith Skin' node of Harvest.

So far it's...silly.

[candid elm]

After doing the 3 area level 90 monos, you need to go back to the area below them. The one that splits into three paths. Click on the thing in the middle.

[native sail]

It's okay, 90% of what I make is dumbass ideas to see if they even function

[dry narwhal]

just for conversations sake though

[west lark]

can it be dropped from 58lvl boss?

[native sail]

Do I build glacier crit in order to get funny ward stack?

[native sail]

Yes

[dry narwhal]

throne of ambition is a luxury item

[candid elm]

Yes

[pearl spindle]

It functions pretty well. The issue is when I have to reapply curse to allow my Harvest to double damage.

[sinful laurel]

That's like most of what I do in this game. My dumbass BD idea didn't work, but only because of a bug in 0.9

[pearl spindle]

Since I have no mana after my first bonk.

[pastel pebble]

Only if it's wholly inconvinient

[native sail]

Deal

[west lark]

so we're continuing

[dry narwhal]

it's not uncommon from abom

[surreal lily]

re: Dread shade perks that increase the area, does it actually? I have one 4/4 that says it has 100% increased area but it looks no bigger than without

[dry narwhal]

i never studied the area lol

[gaunt fiber]

Hi guys, did the spell 20+ still work ?

[sinful laurel]

What???

[dry narwhal]

huh?

[candid elm]

Are you talking about getting +1 skill on a level 20 skill, then yes. You'll get an extra point.

[dry narwhal]

oh.

[sinful laurel]

If so it's a visual bug that the point doesn't show, assign the extra points anyways

[dry narwhal]

yep.

[round spruce]

SOMETHING saved my rune of ascendance use. Could it possibly be glyph of hope?

[heavy sun]

if I use rune of ascendance on a rare bow will it = unique bow?

[pearl spindle]

Around what numbers will a mid-built (not end end game, perfectly made gear) end game character have in their primary stat/stats?

[native sail]

Yes

[gaunt fiber]

Yes

[heavy sun]

100% guy in game saying it can be any slot

[native sail]

They're wrong

[heavy sun]

okay

[candid elm]

A random, non-boss only, unique bow.

[robust quarry]

Is there a set number of a certain type of node in an empowered monolith before needing to reset? Like for example ''set or unique shield''?

[native sail]

Whatever you put it in you will get the same type of item back

[heavy sun]

ty

[still horizon]

Is there a dev console or anything alike to try builds at offline characters?

[dry narwhal]

no

[native sail]

You can edit save files I guess if yo uwant

[faint plinth]

Ranger at least in early game does zero damage compared to mage, maybe gets better later on?

[pearl spindle]

Trying to figure out if I will have enough int/vit end game to make certain nodes worth it but never seen an end game stats sheet to guess around how big numbers get as gear gets better.

[native sail]

But you aren't really supposed to

[still horizon]

can i get banned for this?

[dry narwhal]

really aren't supposed to

[candid elm]

Are you in a party? There's been bug reports of the host's runes being consumed

[native sail]

Honestly, maybe

[still horizon]

So how do i try builds

just put another 100hrs into offline?

[dense root]

yes

[dry narwhal]

just play the game?

[pearl spindle]

That is how it is in pretty much all ARPGs.'

[native sail]

It shouldn't take you 100 hours at all but yeah

[candid elm]

It's very easy to edit offline characters.

[still horizon]

fk me why do d3 etc just dont have a dummy and a damage meter

its really hard to test builds

[candid elm]

There are the test dummy things by the Arena

[still horizon]

ye but i still dont rly know how much i do overall

[willow tusk]

is there anyway to check ingame if youve done all passive skill quests?

[sinful laurel]

If you stack a stat hard expect about 60-70 endgame

[pearl spindle]

Hmm....

[sinful laurel]

Maybe 80 if you get some good exalts

[willow tusk]

ooh ye im missing 2, i see now

[candid elm]

Push M and look in the lower left corner

[pearl spindle]

Debating on if Life Eater is worth 5 points to probably get around 50-70 health back per Harvest bonk.

Then again it is per cursed enemy so you might get FAR more back since it is AoE.

[candid elm]

There's way more than the 15/15 you need

[round spruce]

i were in party but nobody else besides me had that rune

[pearl spindle]

...Time to die to test it~

[sinful laurel]

The good thing about lich and reaper form is a LOT of stuff scales with int. Def worth int stacking in that setup

[pearl spindle]

INT also ups my ward retention which is good for bonk ward tank.

[sinful laurel]

All the survive nodes in top right of reaper scale with int too

[pearl spindle]

I was eyeing those.

[sinful laurel]

100% worth

[pearl spindle]

Wait top right....

ohhhh

[sinful laurel]

Youre stacking int anyways 🙂

[pearl spindle]

Ya, I actually went the silly route and pretty much went all right side.

Gimme those fast ward giving reaps 🙂

[dry narwhal]

do i just mute general

this is getting unbearably stupid at this point

[sinful laurel]

Don't look. Look away

It's too horrifying

[dense root]

i just don't read general

[dry narwhal]

it really is.

[dense root]

it's a bad place

[sinful laurel]

Stay here, where it's safe

[dry narwhal]

here is actually how the server normally is

[native sail]

Stay here. It's safe here.

[agile ingot]

is there a decent build with viper tail for Hc?
just found one

[dry narwhal]

vipertail is for levelling

its good for it but its not defensive at all

[agile ingot]

ohhi saw alot of people on global chat talking about it so i thought it was insane or something

[dry narwhal]

for levelling its a luxury

otherwise drop it at like 40 or somethin

[native sail]

Vipertail is not just for leveling, it's a fat amount of increased dodge rating and poison chance

[dry narwhal]

and what poison build is there now?

jkjk

[native sail]

Simply convert it

[honest radish]

anyone here familiar with poison lich? looking for someone to look at my build and give me opinions on how to improve it

[heavy sun]

how often do you guys shatter gear?

[dry narwhal]

only when it has good affixes

[heavy sun]

like 3+ ones you want>?

[dry narwhal]

#💀┃acolyte

[dry narwhal]

like the 1 good one

if something has 3+ i want im using that shit lmao

[heavy sun]

gotcha, are getting shattering runes pretty common?

[native sail]

Yea

[dry narwhal]

yes

[heavy sun]

ok ty

[grave hull]

has trading been added or is it only multiplayer atm?

[candid elm]

I shatter if I need some of the affixes for later. Note that shatter gives a random number of a random number of mods.

If it's a really rare one, use removing. Which will give you the entire stack of the affix it removes.

[sinful laurel]

I shatter affixes that are rare and class specific

[candid elm]

Multiplayer with gifting items in party. Full trade not in yet.
