[hoary moat]

That's what I thought. Thanks ❤️

[bleak vine]

Can the flat dmg buffs from Entangling Roots buff yourself? Or only your allies/minions?

[dire mist]

was there any mentioned change about DoT's or certain damage types piercing ward? the emperor of dragons ground dot has nearly killed me several times even tho i had 2k+ ward

[sick yacht]

Don't stand in them

[bleak vine]

It's phrased in a confusing way

[thick anchor]

Is Glancing blow or dodge better for blade dancer??

[sick yacht]

Both

[sinful laurel]

Both

[dire mist]

cool but why do they ignore ward

[sick yacht]

They don't

They just hit hard

[dire mist]

they do

[thick anchor]

I was looking into getting this

[paper elm]

The dot from the 3 poisons from aod

[dire mist]

im sitting on 2k+ ward, not going down, but life is

[sinful laurel]

Apostacy is good

A lot of rogues take it

[dire mist]

something's broken

[sick yacht]

Again, while AoD was up still, or after

[thick anchor]

Nice thank you 😄

[paper elm]

Considering I'm talking from the damage reduction of aod being up and the poison caused by aod being up, yes indeed, while aod was up

[sinful laurel]

Depends on your build if it's worth to keep dodge or get more GB. Keep in mind you can still dodge with silver shrouds even with apostacy too

Keep playing

At 15 your gear isn't doing much anyways

[outer saddle]

Your upgrades come from the ground, not from shops

What build?

[sinful laurel]

Your passive and skill choices are prob a bit off then

You can

[paper elm]

Yeah I'm playing harvest

[sinful laurel]

You don't lose them, you just have to earn them again

[paper elm]

the only bad thing about my build is harvest

xdd

[dry narwhal]

lmao

[sinful laurel]

Harvest is a rough start ngl

[dry narwhal]

do you have skeletons summoned?

[sinful laurel]

You'd be better off playing caster acolyte until you get more established

[paper elm]

also sucks that harvest is the only melee attack in the build everything else I took to support it is spells and dots

so not really synergetic

[sinful laurel]

Hungering souls plus wandering spirits is ezmode

[dry narwhal]

they can help out early, skellies

hungering souls lookin nice tbh

[sick yacht]

Hungering souls lvling is smooth

[outer saddle]

Tbf if he uses hungering souls he'll just use it as main tho

[sinful laurel]

Probs lol

[paper elm]

What's the strongest necrotic damage lich right now, hungering souls?

[dry narwhal]

which is a better idea than harvest lol

[paper elm]

(for endgame)

[sinful laurel]

Whatever you like playigng

[paper elm]

I like playing my build, but it sucks

:^)

[sick yacht]

Hungering souls/wandering spirits

[dry narwhal]

harvest is very lacking

[sinful laurel]

Melee reaper is just really gear dependent

It can work but it's a struggle

[desert quest]

Whenever people talk about a skill I am like I wanna try that skill too some time. Thanks for this curse EHG

[sinful laurel]

And really requires a unique

[dry narwhal]

you can respec into it very easily later

[paper elm]

what unique?

[outer saddle]

Yeah lots of builds need a levelling phase

[sinful laurel]

The scythe literally made for harvest lol

[paper elm]

also do you have a guide link for me? 👀

ok

[outer saddle]

In which you level 1st with a levelling skill then respec later

[paper elm]

what is the name of that scythe

pretend I don't know every unique in the game

[dry narwhal]

death's embrace?

[outer saddle]

You can try skeletons

To draw aggro

[dry narwhal]

hungering souls if you dont want minions

or even if you do

[outer saddle]

Hungering souls feel so clunky early game to me

[sinful laurel]

Deaths embrace

[paper elm]

ty

[dry narwhal]

it looks solid to me now

[outer saddle]

Maybe just need the spit thing

[nova topaz]

Hello all.

Just got the game yesterday and having a lot of fun but I'm entering the courtyard map and the game keeps crashing and I cannot play. Is this a known issue?

[minor echo]

im wanting to check can you activate the effect on eternal eclipse by having added void damage on your melee attack?

[sinful laurel]

I just couldn't remember the name haha

[outer halo]

assemble abomination looking for a build for this iff there is any after it got gutted

[dry narwhal]

you may wanna verify files but there should be a patch later today

[outer saddle]

How is it gutted? I'm using it just fine atm

[dry narwhal]

abom got lightly tapped on the wrist lol

[sick yacht]

It's based off scaling tags, so no

[nova topaz]

I have verified etc still got the issue. I'll keep an eye out for the patch thanks for the heads up.

[outer halo]

Did they not disable something about the skills it use

[desert quest]

These kind of bonuses require tag. Adding flat won't add the tag I am afraid. It usually comes from skill nodes

[sick yacht]

They nerfed stomp without fixing the problem of the hitbox being larger than the melee

[outer saddle]

The stomp has increased cd, that's all. Because previously it's bugged to have less than 1 sec instead of the stated 3 sec

[paper elm]

wait can you get this scythe and add more mods to it if you get it with legendary potential?

[dry narwhal]

ya

[minor echo]

so eternal eclipse is only useful for sentinel then im guessing

[sick yacht]

Correct

[paper elm]

that would be an entire book of an item xD

[outer halo]

Ah okay so the build on lastepochtools still work i assume

[minor echo]

i cant see any other class that gets a void+fire melee attack

[outer saddle]

Ya, I don't know why the build creator literally gave up on the game because of that

[minor echo]

wait you could just activate it with a fire attack couldnt you?

[desert quest]

Yes

[minor echo]

interesting

[outer halo]

me neither ait ty 🙂 !

[granite helm]

for necromancer bone golem what could trigger betrayal node? (damage from allies)

[sick yacht]

Sure for some flat void that you probably aren't scaling at all if you aren't a vk

[outer saddle]

Rip blood, 1 of the nodes (marrow) can target allies

[outer halo]

u still doing big numbers with it tho thats waht im wondering

[outer saddle]

Kinda, not really with my endgame build yet, but doing 200k per swing with 3 swings per sec approx

Not even 1 uniques equipped yet

[crude topaz]

Hey, was just looking to buy the game but had a question, am I correct in assuming that the monolith branching maps thing has infinite scaling difficulty with corruption? This would be the decider for me as I like grinding with no ceiling in difficulty like WoW M+

[polar holly]

do i need an exalted ring when creating legendary unique ring, or any item bases work?

[sick yacht]

Yeah

[dry narwhal]

yes

[sinful laurel]

Yes

[outer halo]

Ait ty ! aslong as we can go get big numbers i dont mind how slow it is i just wanna see big numbers on screen and get dopamine

[sick yacht]

Exalted only

[dry narwhal]

exalted yes, base doesn't matter

[acoustic oxide]

Might wanna wipe the Appdata folder as well. Solved a bunch of issues for me

[mild tinsel]

how to kill elder gaspar ?
cant outrun his rotation %(

[outer saddle]

I cackled like mad everytime a miniboss got 1-shotted

[crude topaz]

Thank you for the replies @sick yacht & @dry narwhal 🥰 its been in my Steam cart for a couple hours while I looked stuff up, gonna buy it 😄

[sinful laurel]

You can if you are closer to him

Physics

[outer halo]

Ait ty man !

[outer halo]

What level did u spec into the build ?

[mild tinsel]

Im staying as close to him as possible... still have a feeling like he has an aoe dmg closer to him

[sinful laurel]

When he rotates you can just stay behind him if you hug his ass.

[nova topaz]

Do you know what specifically I need to delete? Just seeing save data.

[mild tinsel]

uhm, he doesnt have safe place in Last Ruins - its three 120% rays - fire / ice / lightning

[acoustic oxide]

Everything to be honest, your characters are server saved anyway. Maybe not the lootfilters if you have one.

[outer halo]

@outer saddle i throwed u a dm iff u dont mind anwsering abit more questions

[acoustic oxide]

Make a copy of the folder if need be

[charred cobalt]

is there a node for offhand catalysts? like there is one for shields

[mild orbit]

Hey guys can someone answer some of my questions regarding Sentil Warpath spec?

[quiet ivy]

In empowered timeline do it usefull to do optional quest or only boss?

[mild orbit]

I am particularly interested in the way Winds of justice talent works - does it cast a base smite, or if I spec into smite - does it cast upgraded smite?

[acoustic oxide]

If a skill is casted from another skill, it generally inherits the tree if specced into

[dry narwhal]

only boss

[polar holly]

i just tried, it requires an exalted ring to synthesize legendary Siphon of Anguish

[dry narwhal]

read what i said again.

i said BASE doesn't matter

not item type.

[mint prawn]

oh my goddess, got addicted into crafting
so I am craving for Glyph of Hopium, like, everytime
How can I get a lot of Glyph of Hope, all I know is farming Echo reward Glyph but it's still not enough 😢

[languid knot]

Does the idol that says "chance to cast lightning on 10+ mana spent" work when you're transformed and spend Rage?

[warm dust]

Is there a guide to ramping corruption quickly? Or is it just run echoes and reset whenever possible?

[charred cobalt]

is there a node for offhand catalysts? like there is one for shields

[outer mango]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV7Idl0vsJ0&t=190s

[dry narwhal]

stolen lance

has all the caster stuff

[charred cobalt]

oh

so different monoliths have different reward nodes?

[desert quest]

It is mostly same but certain node types depend on the mono timeline

[upbeat sail]

Are there any really rare uniques that can drop during the campaign or normal gameplay ? not from bosses in monos

[charred cobalt]

ahh

alright, thanks

[warm dust]

helpful video, but I meant more for my first monolith

[desert quest]

If you aren't at empowered, corruption is capped at 50

Why not push for empowered instead?

[dry narwhal]

really rare? no

lotta good common uniques though

[warm dust]

First monolith, as in my first empowered monolith. Basically, I hit endgame and I'm cruising through 100 corruption, and I want to make sure I'm not missing a key mechanic that should be letting me skip to 150 corruption or so

[dry narwhal]

no lol

[minor echo]

i am not in the discord server i thought i was

[slim goblet]

is a connection beetwen the area lvl and our level for xp ? i guess if i'm 68 and i want to lvl up is a penalty for xp if i run echoes with 5 lvl over my lvl or 5 lvl under my level ?

[minor echo]

does eternal eclipse work with warpath if you take both fire and void conversion?

[marsh radish]

guys is physical penetration and physical shred resistance the same thing?

[minor echo]

res shred is a status effect that lowers res by 4 per stack

iirc

[short stump]

Why did i die here? I was outside of his aoe...

[desert quest]

Aoe indicator can get bugged if you push it around a lot. Maybe that

[distant frigate]

hi to ppl how play shadow daggers, i'm following maxroll build and there is something i dont understand, why they take cold convert on umbral blade? we loose so much damage with this node, anyone have explanations?

[desert quest]

They practically work same since monsters have no res cap. But pen has no cap while shred is an ailment and capped

[fresh light]

is glyph of order the most useless shit ever? if the item has a lot of affixes that need to go up, you need to use glyph of hope, if an item has a few affixes left, you might as well use glyph of despair and get an extra one

[dry narwhal]

What's it supposed to do?

[fresh light]

a high roll affix stays a high roll affix

but it is so niche and insignificant, that despair and hope are infinitely better

[dry narwhal]

I've never used it I can say that

[slim ravine]

Its for very late bis gear crafting

[minor echo]

hmmm

i think you could use eternal eclipse with lunge

that is probably immensely dumb though

[desert quest]

Can't check since I am at the office but one of those should get priority. Can't convert to both

[minor echo]

god dammit

it has the no effect if you have the other conversion node

[rocky prism]

how many waves are in the arena

[carmine coyote]

40 for t1-t4 one and infinite for the endless one

[mild tinsel]

Have anyone found a way to make snow and desert maps less miserable on the eyes?

[carmine coyote]

Brightness to very low + streamer mode

[minor echo]

and turn down monitor brightness

or screen brightness in nvidia control panel

[mild tinsel]

Already very low and monitor brightness went down to 50...

[minor echo]

or the amd equivalent if you can

[mild tinsel]

Still miserable

[carmine coyote]

Well thats for now

[minor echo]

close your eyes

[heavy crag]

guess i need LP argentus now

for 25 warpath

[carmine coyote]

Good luck with that

[heavy crag]

what are odds for LP argentus assuming normal one drops?
i got normal one first try

[slim ravine]

What corruption u found that at

[heavy crag]

idk 130

[carmine coyote]

Its 110 lp level

[twin oak]

yeah wings has the highest lp level in the game, and I would save it for T7 %health

[heavy crag]

this one first try

[carmine coyote]

Nope, ravenous void is highest with 115

[twin oak]

my bad, second

[heavy crag]

so lets say i drop 100 wings of argentus. How many of them will have LP?

[twin oak]

I don't know, I have dropped like 50 and never seeing it with lp

[slim ravine]

What stat makes argentus good for warpath

[heavy crag]

im fire so +2 to warpath, 140% melee fire, less dmg taken and haste on hit

[spare solar]

I've taken the nodes that give reactive ward (base cd 12 seconds) minus 6 seconds cooldown, but when it procs, the icon on my buff bar indicating the reactive ward cooldown still takes 12s to expire, anyone know if this is a visual bug or if the nodes just aren't working? I'm in HC so I'm a bit nervous about testing it

[heavy crag]

for void its not rly good unless you already have high armor

cause on low armor, just stacking armor on chest will be better, with life, than 20% dr

[slim ravine]

I seem to have mana troubles when i use warpath

[heavy crag]

for void yes if u have to use anomlay

for paladin zero issues

[twin oak]

the good thing about generic damage reduction is that is for dots too, that's what made the old 40% wings great

[heavy crag]

paladin is tankier, has more dps on everything except bosses, its just VK has like 2 times more boss dps

cause of echo knight and time rot

[twin oak]

now I wouldn't try to get one unless it matches my build perfectly

[dreamy blade]

i dont understand the quest.. i've unlocked advanced monolith, what else i need to do

[stone granite]

Boss fights are mechanical. They take time, not power. Learn how to fight.

[subtle kindle]

What build are you playing @acoustic thicket ?

I mean, that should be able to fight bosses but... I wouldn't play it myself as a starter

it REALLY needs gear and high skill

[mild tinsel]

Switch to cold skellies

[subtle kindle]

You dont need to pivot that hard lmao

[mild tinsel]

doesnt require much, wand is easily obtainable 🙂

[stone granite]

Sounds like something else is wrong with your build

[subtle kindle]

Rip Blood is a pretty strong skill and won't require a significant change like, I dunno... A DIFFERENT SUBCLASS

I've played Necrotic Rip Blood in previous patches and it was buffed this patch

If you don't mind respeccing your main skill and pivoting off melee, it's probably your best bet to respec fast and easy

Yeah that's also kinda sucky

I would recommend using a strong filter to really search for upgrades, you never know when you just pass over an item that could be THE item

[heavy crag]

increased armor shred effect t2 -> rune of despair -> channel cost t5 right

[subtle kindle]

I dont think its necessary to do the shred effect on fire crit warpath, but if thats what you want to make

[stone granite]

That's not a harvest unique

It's not even a good unique

[heavy crag]

i have 80% attack speed and 200% chance to shred armor

[stone granite]

No it's pretty bad

Have you ever played an ARPG before?

[subtle kindle]

i figured you had a lot of shred, but it is your item really so do what you want to

[stone granite]

Okay well the rarity is completely irrelevant, what it gives you is the only thing that matters

Just because it's a unique doesn't mean it's good, you have to actually read it

[subtle kindle]

rares in this game are just as OP early as uniques. keeper gloves are good on actual melee classes but you probably got baited with this one

and thats fine

i mean if you wanted to go minions, keeper gloves are an ok way to generate minions as an addition to your skeletons/golem/etc

but you probably just leant in too far on the melee stuff, which is understandable

i thought you were like, in first monolith and had gone all the way in on harvest lich

so yeah there's still time, you can just respec and farm lotus halls or a similar high density area

[slim ravine]

So, how would i go ab making a legendary ring?

[subtle kindle]

also, the number one tip for levelling in LE is craft more

crafting is OP

[stone granite]

Not when you first start, no shards

[subtle kindle]

if you're specced into harvest, respec that into either skeletons or rip blood imho

you will have a much better time

yeah, but the shop should be able to sell you something ok for your level to craft on

[barren kayak]

to craft a legendary i have to fuse the unique with LP with an exhalted of the same type right? so Dragonsong with lp + exhalted bow?

[subtle kindle]

true, if you're brand new you'll have nothing but even one minion damage affix in act 2 is pretty pog for a minion build (or a necrotic damage mod for necrotic caster)

[subtle kindle]

yes

[slim ravine]

Do i get to pick what stat i want to carry over?

[subtle kindle]

No

[barren kayak]

and then its 25% chance to hit any stat?

[subtle kindle]

It's random

[subtle kindle]

Delete this amulet

[barren kayak]

thats pretty good 😄

[heavy crag]

need despair mana reg

[subtle kindle]

Its really strong, yeah. I think some minions can proc it which makes retaliate minions very powerful

[subtle kindle]

sealing mana regen and slapping on vit or fire pen will be so giga

Harvest is fine but I would not play it early on

[dry narwhal]

Marow shards is more lategame I think as well

[heavy crag]

need crit chance

[subtle kindle]

Marrow Shards probably isnt an act 2 ability either but its probably a little easier to play

[dry narwhal]

Until you get good leech at least

[heavy crag]

i have 110% free fire pen from tree

[subtle kindle]

then get multi probably

crit chance on ammy really isnt the best stat

[slim ravine]

What if i remove all mods except the one i want to carry over

[subtle kindle]

you cant

legendary cache only accepts 4 affix items

[barren kayak]

im thinking of yoloing this

but im not sure if worth

dragonsong 1 lp should be quite common no?

and theres 3 good hits

[modest prairie]

Go for it, its not perfect roll so yolo

[brave vale]

Does generic increased bow damage increase bleed dmg when using a bow?

[dry narwhal]

You could probably get a 2 lp

But up to you ofc

[barren kayak]

for a 2 lp one i would want a crit chance attack speed slow/chill bow tho

crit multi is a slight dud

[dry narwhal]

Eh yeah

[barren kayak]

so AS is great, slow is good, Crit multi is ok and stun chance is meh

[heavy crag]

sry didnt want to add

wait

meant this

[slim ravine]

Is julra a hard boss fight? Gonna try it tonight

[modest prairie]

Everything below t4 is quite easy

[spiral yacht]

I'm guessing the target dummies got 0 armor etc?

[lone stump]

Does added dmg effectiveness apply to the sorc passive?

[silver rover]

I thought monolith +corruption nodes were supposed to get bigger farther away I went, but I'm like 15+ nodes away and it's still only +5.

[lone stump]

So does meteor get 9x it's mana cost in base dmg?

[heavy crag]

got like 5 exalted items to craft on, and zero despair glyphs

[sharp aurora]

guys is voidknight autobomer good?

[lethal canyon]

How does lightning blast work if you have both convergence and divergence

[trail violet]

guys is there any guide for flame reave 0.9?

[subtle kindle]

The abyssal echo version is

[sharp aurora]

can you please direct me to a guide

[subtle kindle]

dr3adful has one on his YT

[carmine glade]

does anyone know if there's a way to report people in general chat in-game?

I can block them, but it would very much help if some people who keep talking trash on chat would get chat bans for like 1 day, 1 week, etc. Much easier to clean up the trash talk than individually muting people

[slim ravine]

Just realized i have like 2 uniques i should be using in my build that i wasnt. Did all@that crafting last night for nothing

[dry narwhal]

Support maybe but nothing in game

[old marten]

in a party, do arenas requires each players to have a key or just 1?

[uncut acorn]

So this node on Bone Curse. Is this when I cast it on the target, or when the cursed enemy is hit?

[silver rover]

Anyone else rubber banding? I was fine yesterday but today I keep snapshotting back

[barren kayak]

damn memes

hit the only t1 lol

4% dragonfire for 35% stun hm

propably worth it

[cobalt leaf]

Anyone got a build recommendation that has high movement speed, decent damage and doesn't require intense mana management?

[modest prairie]

Shadow dagger bladedancer

[short stump]

Hammer throw paladin, movement - shield rush and with rings for -mana cost you cast it like for free.

[cobalt leaf]

are we talking the crit version or the smite proc version here?

[short stump]

bleed version

[cobalt leaf]

haven't heard of that one before

[short stump]

You can watch gameplay here https://www.twitch.tv/palsteron/videos

[cobalt leaf]

I see, good ol Pal

[scenic quartz]

yo anyone else got their char on online deleted

[safe valley]

Do you start getting more stability per echo in empowered monoliths? Doing 25+ echoes to farm a boss is so MonkaS

[modest prairie]

Higher corruption = more stability

[short stump]

@cobalt leaf only item you need is amulet ( bleeding heart), but it's just QoL to survive boss fights.

[maiden monolith]

hi guys, wanna ask does anyone know if you can set the server you play to? I keep getting connected to Europe with 200 ms, yesterday was good at SEA with 15 ms

[acoustic thicket]

way more yeah

Does CDR work on all Fire Aura triggers?

[mild tinsel]

not possible now

[faint cape]

No, only things you could put on your bar

[trail violet]

guys is there any guide for flame reave 0.9?

[harsh acorn]

this is my first one what one would you all go ?

[stone granite]

Up to you

Gold probably least useful

[subtle kindle]

i like xp but gold is also good

[heavy crag]

Does Eye of Reen have high potential for potential?

[carmine glade]

does anyone know if I can give myself haste with this node?

i dont want to waste a lot of points and then not get haste

[slim ravine]

How many times can shock stack

[wind vessel]

mmm is this a thing, no loot filter applied, unique on the floor that i cant pick up?

[stone granite]

10 times and the in game guide tells you this

[stone granite]

Might have accidentally turned off loot

[slim ravine]

Thanks, im not home just addicted

[wind vessel]

what is the key?

[stone granite]

no

[raw fern]

Press ALT+Z or Z

[wind vessel]

ohhh it was that damn

[olive cloak]

someone play LE on mac ? steam download for me old version 0.8 on windows have 0.9 ??

[raw fern]

LE is no longer supported for MAC. Since Apple migrated to ARM

[olive cloak]

ok thanks

[raw fern]

LE uses unity 2019, and i think the new ARM is supported since 2021. So i guess they would need to update the engine

[olive cloak]

i send email too support and maybe is bot say should work restart or unistall steam xD

[heavy crag]

ok lets go, removal worked

ultimately i want to use eye of reen with legendary potential, so i think crit chance > crit multi

[acoustic thicket]

definitely yes, and nice amulet!

if you use 2 thrones of ambition do you get double the stats per stack?

[heavy crag]

no

imo its bait item

on not bosses it barely works, and on bosses, the adaptive boss damage reduction procs anyway so u dont see dps increase

armor is nice tho

on boss swap

[acoustic thicket]

uh the damage reduction is there anyway that's not how it works 🤔

[languid knot]

when i'm setting up filter and choose "any" and "acolyte" only requirements, it changes it to select all classes, and i can't not have it like that..

[heavy crag]

i increased my boss dps like over twice yesterday and barely see dps increase

causee of this adaptive thing

actually more like 3 times due to armor shred too

[native sail]

Literally not how the DR works. It's designed so higher DPS still kills noticeably faster but restricts you from being able to just delete a boss from existence in like 3 seconds. You likely haven't increased your DPS anywhere near what you think you have because I have seen what high DPS gameplay looks like and experienced it.

[silver rover]

Can "a unique item" drop a set item? Or are set items not unique. Not sure if it's a squares and rectangles thing

[acoustic thicket]

nope uniques are uniques, sets are sets

[heavy crag]

dummy dps went 3 times, from 9k warpath crits to 22k warrpath crits on higher attack speed

[native sail]

Dummy DPS is meanigless

Dummy isn't an enemy

Dummy doesn't suffer debuffs properly

Dummy doesn't have innate DR like other enemies

[open raptor]

[zealous orchid]

whats the endgame combat like? is it like POE where ur just clearing screens of enemies with one button press?

[acoustic thicket]

i wish, but no it's a tad bit slower

well for most builds at least

[zealous orchid]

good tbh

i hated that about POE

[heavy crag]

bruh you can estimate your dps increase and do actual math to estimate how much dps increase i get. Not trying to be rude but its gaslighting, i know math pretty well

[native sail]

Maybe for some small trash mobs but LE is based on combat actually having input and requiring you to interact

[acoustic thicket]

yeah it's a good change of pace to be fair

[heavy crag]

i made decent math and checked how much dps i got based on my base damage, crit multi, attack speed, shred stacks etc

[acoustic thicket]

Btw speaking of dps and bosses, how long should it take/does it take you guys to kill timeline bosses in ~200 corruption?

[native sail]

You can know math pretty well. I can know how the game actually functions and tell you what you see on dummy means fuck all because I've literally seen people crit T4 Julra for 4 million+ damage

[heavy crag]

i increased boss dps, but waaay lower increase than my actual dps increase

[zealous orchid]

thank god

[native sail]

On an average build? Couple minutes. On a high damage build? 90 seconds or less.

[zealous orchid]

i would much rather react to enemies and dodge there attacks then just use one skill to kill them all. i dont want my enemies to feel like they are made out of paper.

[heavy crag]

ok then, i can guarantee my dps got increased by 2.5 times at least. i got 30% more base damage of element im using, i my crit multi got increased by 20% more, my crit chance went from 60% to 88% and i apply around 40 shred stacks instead of 13 on bosses with 30% increased effect. And this dps increase is way more than 2 times

by more i mean multiplier

[native sail]

That's cool. You're literally not factoring anything about the game's calculations though.

[acoustic thicket]

I see, guess i don't have that much dps then; but hey at least i can facetank most stuff lol

[uncut acorn]

Want to know if it's worth investing in if I don't want to cast bone curse over and over again on the same target.

[gentle drum]

anyone know how you blink with summon vines in spriggan form? need to spec in somewhere?

[heavy crag]

so you saying that my actual dps increase is way less? idk dude, these are numbers, you can estimate the dps increase solely by that numbers

[native sail]

You literally can't. But okay.

[heavy crag]

what

Lets say you use one skill forr damage only. You have: base damage used by that skill, increased damage (from melee damage, fire damage, tree affixes etc), you have crit chance and crit multi, you have penetration, attack speed and armor shred. Based on thesse, if you know the numbers, you should easily calculate or at least estimate your actual dps increases

[sly brook]

by any chance does someone now the bee duration/count limit?

[junior wadi]

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

[native sail]

Again. Your DPS increase is not accurate to the game because enemies have massive innate damage reduction that is not the adaptive system

[hot carbon]

enemies have resistances

[native sail]

Not resistances, Lily

They have built in DR.

[hot carbon]

damage resistance, yes

[native sail]

Separate from resists

[hot carbon]

resistances

[native sail]

No resistances are things to Ele damage and such

[hot carbon]

i used it in a bad way but yeah

[native sail]

This is damage reduction

[heavy crag]

so what? eve if the DR is 90%, and my dps got doubled after upgrades, i still should deal twice more damage to them

than beforee

[quiet gulch]

is the necrotic dragon boss bugged or something? big aoe blast seems to hit even if you go out of the circle

[frigid orbit]

When not accounting for the adaptive reduction (which helps bosses against damage spikes) you can still estimate you relative damage inccrease like Lajsu says.

Even if bosses would have 99% Damage reduction, If you increase your damage by a factor of 2 you will see an effective increase of a factor of 2 in your damage. It is math. Everything is multiplied.

[hot carbon]

okay so you want your dps in a void

[heavy crag]

This. Unless enemies have adaptive DR, which is my suspicion

[hot carbon]

not when

y'know

fighting things

your dps also fluctuates tremendously based on passives and skills

like sigils. it's not the hugest buffs but sigils does increase it, and your dummy dps can't show that because you can never guarantee you have sigils

unless you are calculating MAX damage?

which isn't representative of your dps

[lethal canyon]

is there some way to prevent a skill on the skill bar from being pressed?

[heavy crag]

i included sigils, holy aura etc, everything. like i said: base damage from sources, increases to fire/melee etc, crit chance crit multi, fire pen, armor shred

@hot carbon

[hot carbon]

okay so that's not your dps

because that won't be accurate to the gameplay

[heavy crag]

jesus christ, did you read what i wrote before

[hot carbon]

yes.

[heavy crag]

im talking RELATIVE dps compared to what i had before

just like @frigid orbit said

[hot carbon]

but that ISN'T calculating your dps correctly.

that is calculating your max possible dps, which is not representative of gameplay because you will rarely, if ever hit max dps

[heavy crag]

if i have 100 base damage, 1000% increased damage, 100% pen, 10 shred stacks, 0% crit chance, and i add 100 base damage, by damage gets doubled without any other stats changing

to make it simple

[hot carbon]

My max possible DPS on my CoC Meteor build was likely through the fucking roof. My actual DPS? Not amazing.

[frigid orbit]

No one said this.

But if you play bad, can't keep you buffs up but get a source of permanent 30% more damage, you will have 30% more damage when you play the same as before

[foggy nebula]

Hi everyone I just purchased the game, im trying to add my email but it isnt fitting, any solutions other than creating a new email?

[hot carbon]

(they literally just said this)

some buffs you genuinely cannot keep up permanently, too

[acoustic thicket]

wait so if cdr only works on skills you can put on your bar does that mean alluvion will always be garbage

[heavy crag]

all im saing is, actual dps increase based on numbers seems much smaller than it should be when fighting actual enemies. and my math is not wrong

[hot carbon]

yes, i stated that you were calculating your dps in a vacuum, which isn't representative of your actual dps

[acoustic thicket]

Lajsu what level is your character?

[heavy crag]

94

[acoustic thicket]

so your champion's arena area level is 94

do you use armor shred?

monster damage reduction is based on area level, and armour damage reduction calculation is also based on area level

so assuming the bosses you're fighting are in a level 100 area (emp monoliths), you will be doing less damage relatively yes

[heavy crag]

when testing i ignore armor shred and take it off completely cause its very varying. I only test this on bosses when i can apply easily 40 stacks

[lofty hull]

is this normal to get drop where 95% doesn't related with your class?

[acoustic thicket]

still, the innate damage reduction is based on area level

[heavy crag]

and im at lvl 100 areas for last 20 hours, it doesnt matter

[acoustic thicket]

but you test your damage on dummies?

[acoustic thicket]

well yeah since 95% of items don't relate to your class lol

[heavy crag]

dummy is just my way to confirm that my actual math that i do is correct

[wind vessel]

any beastmaster squirrel enjoyer?

[lofty hull]

oh damn this is suck

[silver rover]

Does the 2nd one scale with distance too?

Or only the first one

[carmine glade]

does anyone know how holy trail scales? what can i do to increase its damage?

does it gain damage from everything that Javelin gets?

[acoustic thicket]

only first

[upbeat sequoia]

i think i broke the game somehow i have 0 hp and dont die anymore.

[silver rover]

lol

[sterile widget]

The second one is based on completing the third quest echo for the timeline

[slim ravine]

Would having ward be a important stat on spin to win build

[silver rover]

Yea, I just wasn't sure if you could save the buff for when you get farther out

[languid knot]

Wtf, why are my chickens white now? did a talent change them?

oh, was a weird ground effect making them white.

OHH, if they stand in a snowy area for too long, they get snow on top of them! 😮

[silver rover]

If I'm farming for a specific drop from a monolith is it better to spam corruption increase, or make the map as big as possible for the vessel of chaos rerolls?

[sterile widget]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/guide-how-to-improve-your-monolith-target-farming-how-to-maximize-usage-of-vessels/51938

[slim ravine]

Get to your preferred corruption first

[silver rover]

That frightens me that it assumes I'll get 300 corruption before I get the drop 😅

[sterile widget]

Higher corruption = better item rarity so it will increase your chances, but it isn't the be all and end all

If you can't complete the echoes fast enough (or at all) at that corruption level, you'll be less efficient

Assuming you care about that sort of thing

[silver rover]

yea I'm level 80 and just got empowered monoliths so ill probably stay at 100 while I look for the first few powerspikes in my build

just explore a lot and pray

ty for the help

[nova topaz]

Thanks for the help. Thought it fixed it but still keeps crashing in that map. May need to wait for the patch.

[fading bison]

Has anyone dropped a bleeding heart yet? I remember it being very common back during offline but now I can't seem to find any :(

[silver rover]

I recognize it yes

Straight to the vendor

But I can confirm exists

[languid knot]

Why is it that when I open stash, it opens to certain tabs if they're in a certain order? it's so weird i can't figure out why its doing this..

ah, so the last tab you've moved, becomes your default when opening.

[dawn grove]

hello, can anyone tell me how multiplayer works regarding progress of own monolith and corruption level?

[acoustic thicket]

first person to ever look for a bleeding heart xD

[fading bison]

I really want it for the leech haha

[native sail]

I have a shitty roll 2LP one

[fading bison]

Why is there no trade

[native sail]

Soon™️

[fading bison]

I'd offer you my shitty aurelis or something /s

[solid wagon]

Say I have 2k life and a boss hits me for 2.1k - will endurance calculation save me in this case, or does it get ignored in this case?

[fading bison]

The unique/set amulet reward from the ice mono also feels extremely rare

[native sail]

Endurance will kick in

[solid wagon]

Thank you

[native sail]

Will it save you? Hopefully.

[frank wasp]

is there any good use for this item?

[native sail]

I couldn't figure one out but maybe someone else can

[frank wasp]

i assume itd be ok for a curse build, but im not too familiar with curses

[fading bison]

I thought curses weren't too much of a thing yet?

Or do we have the curse subclass?

[native sail]

There's like two.

[nova topaz]

Damn now it's crashed again and now my PC has restarted not sure what's going on

[silver rover]

I'd kill for a search function on the monolith map

[acoustic thicket]

cast speed not the most useful for curses anyway since they're both dots i guess

[dense root]

search function would be nice yeah

[acoustic thicket]

unless you want to play bleed spirit plague and apply 5 bleeds per cast lol

[clever yoke]

if I join my friend's group and he has 500 corruption in emp. monos while I only have 100 for example, do I get the benefit from the 500 corruption or from my 100?

[sterile widget]

Spam spirit plague like a MF and lulz your way to the bank?

[frank wasp]

i was assuming spirit plague would be what was said

i may try to make a spirit plague build and see how that item does

[sterile widget]

Targetable spirit plague is pretty fun in my experience 🙂

[stone granite]

You use whoever's monolith you are using

[acoustic thicket]

is spine hunter alpha ok? wtf??? 1 stack of bleed from a spine hunter alpha map boss one shot me

[old marten]

does anyone can tell me, do arenas require each player to have a a key or does only 1 key suffices?

[dense root]

spine hunter alpha is fine

look at the damage mods on the timeline and your defenses

you probably either took like 5 increased damage nodes in a row or you have low health/phys res

maybe a combination of the two

[fierce jungle]

Has anyone experienced this bug in soulfire bastion? Where the rooms in level 1 don't load properly, and you are able to "skip" to the second level without clicking on the door. This bricks the entire dungeon because you can't access the fire lich because it somehow bricks the quest state

[dense root]

i don't think i've experienced specifically that but soulfire bastion is definitely bugged for me in a different (but similar) fashion

either way submit a bug report

!bug

[ripe brook]

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

[fierce jungle]

I already submitted a bug report. Just checking if it's common enough to warrant me saving my keys. What bug do you experience btw?

[dense root]

the boss door just does nothing

i'm not skipping rooms or anything though

the last one just doesn't work

[acoustic thicket]

Happened to me but it didn't brick the boss, i just didn't get the bonus/inc hp+dmg that the door would give

[fierce jungle]

The last one doesn't work for me either, but in the first zone, i'm able to progress because the zone change loads even tho i haven't clicked on any door in level 1

[fierce jungle]

Interesting, seems like there are two unrelated bugs maybe

[waxen hull]

Anyone tried mana strike + meteor build yet?

Belt*

[rich quartz]

Im playing Flame Wraith necro rn and wonder about the necessity of Dread Shade

[carmine glade]

I need some help figuring out a few nodes in Forgemaster's Smelter's wrath. If I pick the guaranteed crit node and then take the one that converts attack speed into crit chance, am I wasting a point? Or do they scale somehow?

[silver rover]

Monoliths give blessings, are there any other endgame things that give me a permanent buff I need to make sure I do?

[rich quartz]

Im also using Bone Golem specced as full tank. No synergy, dmg wise, but being able to avoid getting targeted 99% of the time makes the survivability very high

[desert quest]

Nothing like blessings. You can probably keep farming for BIS idols since you can't craft idols

[dawn grove]

hello, can anyone tell me how multiplayer works regarding progress of own monolith and corruption level?

[wind vessel]

if i want to target farm a unique helmet that is not from a boss, is black sun farming towards helmet unique nodes the way only?

[dense root]

yes

[soft flint]

is it possible to level without a mastery?

i dont want to pick a mastery and want to level my acolyt as high as possible to pick warlock when it releases in the year 2027 .

is it possible to continue story by maybe bug skip with joining someones story progress?

[carmine glade]

just leave it at the mastery dude and wait, it's not like leveling up takes a long time

[vapid rock]

Anyone else experiencing weirdness with their loot filters? i.e. loot filters missing or just behaving completely oddly

[silver rover]

yes until I realize I'm dumb and had the settings wrong

[desert quest]

Even if you can skip the quest, you won't be able to put points into any of the masteries. You would need someone to carry you to whatever level you want.

[kind harness]

if im mainly fire mage. ya'll think i should prioritize crafting affix's as fire > spell > elem? or safer to do elem for future proofing?

the alt text only really shows int formula

[outer saddle]

I always find it better to live for the present. Since you upgrade gears regularly anyway.

[kind harness]

unless the comma seperated is showing the weighted stats in most influencial

[outer saddle]

People have been saying stuff like dps tooltip. How can I make this tooltip appear? I press alt, ctrl, ctrl+alt, nothing.

Unless it's just the skill dpa

[desert quest]

I don't remember numbers but elemental should be significantly less than individual ones like fire. So even if you future proof and go lightning, would be beaten quickly by lightning specific affixes

[kind harness]

almost makes it seem that fire > spell > int

[desert quest]

Future proof it by hoarding items 😛

[kind harness]

heh yea just now started monoliths, and exalted are starting to appear, so been purging and shart'n old loot to make tidy.

thanks folks. fire it is

[desert quest]

All my money goes to stash tabs hahah

[hot carbon]

Why do you need so many stash tabs?

I usually only need ~6 for maximum organization

and 6 is not very expensive

[lone stump]

The frick

[languid knot]

Is it intentional that w/ 2sec cd on swipe i can use regular swipe and werebear swipe? or it part of the transform hotkey glitch?

[lone stump]

I already have 6 tabs just for exalted items

[hot carbon]

actually, about eight

[sonic saddle]

is "because i can't help myself" an acceptable answer?

[hot carbon]

yes

you are valid

[stone granite]

Probably have more items than you'll ever use then, they aren't good just because they are exalted

[desert quest]

I always hoard items in video games. It is nice to find a cool item and think oh maybe I can do something with it. And then repeat this hundred times a session

[hot carbon]

see

i'm a tarkov player

hoarding is against my code of ethics

[native sail]

Unlike other people I make a new toon every time I get a smidgeon of inspiration

[hot carbon]

unlike other people you are the best

(not to diss anybody else just supporting my friend)

[native sail]

I've been crying for like 45 minutes :D

[hot carbon]

https://tenor.com/view/moist-critical-gif-18538102

[sonic saddle]

what is the main purpose of runes of discovery?

[silver rover]

If I'm after say a helmet from a monolith, obviously the "Set/Unique helm" nodes are best. But can "A set item" also drop them?

[dense root]

if it's a set item then yes

[safe valley]

Is Temporal Sanctum bugged atm or something? I got 3 times to the last door already and cant click it

[knotty tinsel]

what's the difference between the Movement and Traversal tags

[native sail]

Traversal skills are share a cooldown

Movement just... moves you

Most of the traversals are teleport/leap style skills

[knotty tinsel]

I suppose I should've gleaned as much myself

[native sail]

Barring a few exceoptions

Like you can make Void Cleave into a traversal

[knotty tinsel]

oh wait I was gonna ask why the void cleave travel node doesnt add the movement tag but it just does

[native sail]

But you don't have to

[knotty tinsel]

yeah exactly 😄

[native sail]

It increases the lunge range of it so I guess that warrants giving it the tag

[hasty scaffold]

how does 'transient rest' boots work? it says 'gain 50% of current mana when you stop moving.' well, I started/stopped moving and everything and waited 2 seconds etc and I'm getting no ward

is it bugged?

i have 600 mana

[native sail]

Issss bug

None of the X when you stop moving things are working

[hasty scaffold]

ahh shit ok thanks

hopefully they fix it soon, i planned my build around it lol

[pastel pebble]

How can Deias be the best when I am the best?

[night zinc]

how does doing dungeons on alts making you progress the campaign faster work?

[faint cape]

After you complete the dungeon, continue out the exit.

Skips you to wherever that plops you

[night zinc]

i mean does it auto complete quests etc up until that point?

[faint cape]

Nope, but you can pick up the main quest at wherever you are

[night zinc]

so how does it help you progress faster than normally

[faint cape]

Just gets you to the campaign end and to higher level stuff faster (more xp etc.)

[quiet ivy]

wahts the best way to fast lvl corruption? i full run a timeline and try to find a +15 with some gas , thats the fastest way? i only do objectif and fast clear (rogue blade)

[hot carbon]

deias is the best (to me)

[night zinc]

uh so i still have to manually do all the quests and unlock all the waypoints?

[faint cape]

Also killing the timeline boss gets you Gaze which helps you get more corruption

[hasty scaffold]

does 100% crit strike avoidance mean that you will never take a crit ever?

[trim gorge]

so making "rare" item 4mods with and exalted drop 1x T6 + 3x T5 with glyph of hope / chaos i can do. But have no luck or just dumb idk, but cant figure out how to use or how they work (glyph of order and despair) any quick tldr ?

also whats the next step in making good rares, other then getting the right t6 drop on the right base etc ?

[faint cape]

You only need to get 15/15 passives and 8/8 idol slots. Completing the campaign grants +1 all attributes, so it's not top priority

[faint cape]

Correct. Unless they add in enemies that apply crit vuln, then you'll need some overcap

[hasty scaffold]

ah thanks

[quiet ivy]

yeah that what i do but its like 30-40 map for find a +15 so u have 2/3 gas but seems low , how peeople get 1200 corrupt day 1

[dense root]

tbf i don't think anyone is at 1200

[faint cape]

I don't think anyone has 1.2k corruption day 1.

[dense root]

i'm at 500 on one timeline, 300 in another, 200 in a third

and that took some work

1200 would be insane

[faint cape]

Getting up to 200 is plenty fine for a start imo

[dense root]

200 is a good place to start yeah

[soft flint]

not what i asked... everwhere some stupid answers, reddit, ingame, here.. i just want a yes or no. is it possible or not. if i want to play wihtout weapons till lvl 90 the answer is: its easier to play with weapons.. thanks mate. you made my day ^^

[quiet ivy]

ok i understand betteer , that was bad information ^^. So best way is to go like 300 in one and put all timeline with catchup at 200 after?

[heavy crag]

lastepochtools > maxroll

i said it

[dense root]

i mean "the best way" sort of depends on your goals

if you just want the highest corruption the fastest you probably want to focus on a single timeline

but different timelines have different blessings and provide different gear so it's often smart to spread out a bit at first

[quiet ivy]

i want to push yeah but got some blessing is cool to have too , so i thought going to 200 with catchup so u can get the 5 blessing roll

[soft flint]

so im not familiar with the game, i was able to go to the monolith thing that has lvl 59 mobs and iam able to kill stuff there and get xp, is it possible to just level and play the game there? my only goal is to hit a high level as acolyt and not picking a single mastery.

[dense root]

like i have 500 in the timeline i'm farming really hard (last ruin) but i went up to 300 in black sun looking for bastion and i'm at 200 in age of winter because i want a better blessing and you unlock a 5th blessing slot to pick from at 200 corruption

[timid tangle]

Hey all, I have a crafting question - I found this quiver, that has rolled T5 on all 4 stats, but it still has 31 crafting potential - Do I even have any options to use the crafting potential, if I like all 4 stats, and I like how they rolled?

[main flame]

If i corrupt Blood Frost and Death Monolith and the echo lvl is 75, does that mean i can drop aarons will?

[dense root]

if you don't want to reroll either the implicit or the regular affixes you no longer have any use for forging potential

[desert quest]

Possible? Yes. Practical? I would say no. Gonna be hard to scale enough stuff to do high level monos without speccing into any mastery. You will need really good gear etc.

[dense root]

won't you be missing passive points/idol slots too?

[timid tangle]

Right, I could actually go for a roll on the implicit, thanks!

[dense root]

since you can't progress the story without picking a mastery?

and there aren't enough side quests before that point?

[desert quest]

Yeah it is really impractical just to have an acolyte ready for warlock

[dense root]

well also warlock isn't coming for like

a year

or something

we don't have an exact date but they said the missing masteries were coming in 1.0 and we literally just got 0.9

[fluid cedar]

How exactly does the total affix tier option work? Could it be that it only counts the primary ones (prefix)?
I have an item with a total affix level of 12, but it gets filtered out above 8.
It does have a total of 8 on his 2 prefix though.

[desert quest]

It counts only the affixes on that list

[main flame]

Does corrupting a mono increase item level too?

[desert quest]

You sure your affixes are correct?

[wind vessel]

can you only change blessings after completing a island?

[fluid cedar]

Does it count all affixes if you choose non?

And yes that's probably it, thank you

[desert quest]

If you want it to count all, pick all

[fluid cedar]

Makes more sense.
Thanks

[desert quest]

Yep need to fight the boss again

[dense crater]

Anyone else can't start the lighthouse arbor dungeon? Like I use my key but I can't proceed. TGhe door opens but then I arrive in a room with no doors

[lethal canyon]

Does defender of welryn act as a increase or multiplier

[pastel pebble]

Known bug at the momebt

Fix should be soon

[open raptor]

For the Cz/Sk community if there is anyone that wants to play together please join my FB group + DIscord (Link is in the pinned comment on FB). https://www.facebook.com/groups/3440794866247537

[dense crater]

damn I lost both my keys then :/

[desert quest]

Since nobody answered, it does increase the level but I don't remember the exact details. Also corruption is capped at 50 for non empowered monos.

[outer mango]

I did arbor today fine

Seems its random bug

[dense crater]

Weird, well happened twice for me, in seperate days :/

gonna wait for a fix, was eager to try my reign of winter build, sadge

[dense remnant]

Raising corruption on normal monoliths increases the level of that monolith, the level of a zone dictates what items can drop there (you wont get items with an item level above the zone level), but in empowered monoliths they start off at lvl 100, so increasing corruption doesn't increase item level (as zone level doesn't change). What corruption does in empwoered monoliths is increase item rarity and exp gains

[main flame]

thanks

[dense remnant]

To go off that a bit as well, theres no reason to focus on corruption in normal monoliths, just push to empowered monoliths

[main flame]

I more ask to try and get Aarons will (lvl 75) in blood death and frost (70) by corrupting area to lvl 75

[dense remnant]

just go to empowered

[main flame]

item pool will be bigger then no?

wouldnt it best to target farm lvl 75 areas

[dense remnant]

the chance of getting aarons will is 3% from a unique/set chest node

[wind vessel]

if I am farming black sun for helmets and all i am getting is ring uniques, is best to restart the web or keep expanding?

[dense remnant]

its the lowest one

if you do it outside of empoweerd i guarantee you its going to take significantyl longer

[outer mango]

Aaron made video how to farm aarons will

[dense remnant]

you need to be getting as many of the unique/set item specific nodes as possible, and empowered will have waay more than normal

[main flame]

ok cool thanks

[dense remnant]

and increasing corruption will increase the amount you see

[silver rover]

Any reason to overcap res in LE?

[native sail]

Not really

[old marten]

no reason, you just need to be close to cap

maybe poison since poison reduce the res

[native sail]

Just don't get poisoned :D

[old marten]

just dont get hit

[outer mango]

Tank all dmg

[dense root]

tbh you don't even need to be capped for the most part

[dusky flume]

thats an interesting chest to start with, time to pray i can get rid of the sword mod

[dense root]

like you want to cap resistances eventually but you can play all the way to empowered and push some corruption without doing it if you're building the other defenses that matter

[vivid monolith]

So around lv 70 I finally got my dragonsongand switched over, but didn't feel super great even after swapping my passives and rerolling/crafting new gear. I think I went too defensive with my gear, when I really should have been focusing on going more crit? Can anyone else who's made this transition lemme know how they felt/what they prioritized?

[carmine glade]

oh man the quest in Imperial welryn is bugged, i killed the imperial commander before i got the quest update and now i can't progress xD

[dusky flume]

the alric one?

[turbid harness]

anyone know if howl stacks? i.e. from multiple wolves and/or multiple from one wolf

[desert quest]

There is also marked for death (?) that reduces all resistances by 25

[dense root]

marked for death is just not something you should worry about

like it's not that there are no ways to lower a player's resistances

they just aren't relevant enough to worry about

[static glacier]

crit is no longer free on marksman like it was pre patch so the build needs more offensive gear now i guess

[desert quest]

Still good to mention so people learn instead of blindly following what others say

[dense root]

i mean

mentioning something that doesn't matter doesn't help people learn

like if i say "you shouldn't overcap your resistances it's not important" and you say "marked for death lowers resistances by 25%" some people will take away the wrong message from that

[desert quest]

Just refreshes existing one

[turbid harness]

dang alright, ye that could've been busted

[hasty scaffold]

does "effective level for legendary potential: 115" mean that it will never have any legendary potential?

[dense root]

no

[native sail]

It's just a rarity scalar

[vivid monolith]

Okay, makes sense. I did feel a little wet noodly against some units for sure

[dense root]

you can get legendary potential on essentially any unique, including ones with legendary potential level > 100

they're just incredibly unlikely to have it

[hasty scaffold]

ok thanks

[ripe egret]

Is there any way of making movement skills not target enemies or random destructibles on controller?

[wraith dagger]

Guys possible to get boosted in this game trough campaing dont want to play it a third time xD

[dense root]

you can skip part of the campaign with dungeons but you can't skip all of it because you need to do quests to get passive points and idol slots

[wraith dagger]

so do again 8 hours campaign

[dense root]

i think technically you can also skip part of the campaign by porting to someone who is ahead of you in multiplayer but i haven't tested

[ripe tiger]

are skills like skeleton mages ( fire mage ) , volatile zombie and fire golem counted as elemental skills? for the purpose of +1 elemental skills

[dense root]

i mean the campaign doesn't take 8 hours once you get experience with it

[old marten]

check the tags to know that

[dense root]

but also the dungeon skips are significant

[wraith dagger]

im that slow tought thats fast xD

[ripe tiger]

minion tag says fire, but idk if that counts

[outer mango]

Only minion damage works with minions

Minion fire, minion dmg, minion light etc

[ripe tiger]

that wasnt exactly what i was asking but ill assume no then

[wraith dagger]

is it possible to join someone in a differente timeline/monolith so i can get faster like my bow ? or i need to unlock it first by myself rolled for bowmage and saw how late the area comes for it lol

[random rain]

is there any point in overcapping resist?

or endurance?

[dense root]

no

overcap endurance has literally no use

overcap resist has only niche uses that you shouldn't worry about

[short stump]

where is my ring?? I used ring with LP and one exalted ring after killing boss... and nothing happened. Item gone.

[dense root]

switch timelines

you put it in the cache in the divine era

then you switch back to the ruined era and take it out of the cache

[short stump]

what if i left zone already xD?

[fast valley]

how to abandon a quest chat

[dense root]

then it's gone

[short stump]

f

stupid idea

it was my op ring lol

[dense root]

rip

[heavy oasis]

is it normal to struggle so hard on finding basic T20 upgrades?

ive been running the same body armor for like 3 days straight because i havent been able to find/craft a better one yet

takes forever to find potential crafting bases and they usually just end up failing

[fast valley]

how to abandon a quest? Game says "J" to open quest log but nothing happens

[granite helm]

Which build archetype will be better for starting fresh now? No build enabling uniques, easy to roll affixes on gear

[placid sky]

Is there anything I can/should do with gold in endgame?

[heavy oasis]

ive been farming 250+ corruption empowered monos and still struggling to find decent items

[hard bough]

help, cant pickup my dropped chest, also with pressing X its hidden

[heavy oasis]

trying pressing Z twice

maybe the item tooltip ended up offscreen or something

[stone granite]

If you are 250+ corruption, you already have decent items. Chances of improving will just keep going down as you progress.

[heavy oasis]

i have some decent items and some pretty bad items

like my chest is t5 t1 t4 t4

[acoustic thicket]

i'm in the same boat, using two rings that have only 1 useful mod atm

[candid elm]

Lightless Arbor dungeon

[hard bough]

maybe, Z does nothing for me

[placid sky]

Ok thx … wasn’t in Dungeons yet 😅

[heavy oasis]

is lightless arbor worth farming? i have tons of keys but never used any since i heard empowered monos are just best for farming

[hard bough]

its my good chest so it should be highlighted extremly with my filter but also without its hidden

[mighty stirrup]

Does lightning bolts generated from smite apply electrify ?

[hard bough]

fixed ! remapped alt + z to alt + x because it cluttered with nvidia overlay and this fuxtion brought it back visible

[acoustic thicket]

is there some way to get idols other than random drops? like you can use rune of ascendance or buy items with gold until you have something you like, but I only get poop idols

[heavy oasis]

nice

[dense root]

either you're insanely unlucky, you have ridiculously high standards, or there's something wrong with your loot filter

[molten cape]

any blade dancer gods in chat

[heavy oasis]

to be honest its probably the filter (i made it myself)

[wary light]

I'm supposed to have two charges of my shift, one from an item, but whenever I do shift it acts as if I only have one. Is this a known bug? Buddy of mine has the same but with teleport.

[dense root]

i would hardly call myself a god but i am playing bladedancer this patch and i'll do my best to help

[heavy oasis]

i did my filter by just setting each item type to what bases i wanted and then made it only show items that had at least 2 of the affixes i want (any tiers)

[fading bison]

When you destroy a vessel of memory, you cannot selectively redo echoes, you have to do all of them again except for the starting ones, right?

[heavy oasis]

no clue if that was a mistake or not

[molten cape]

ive made it to empowered mono's level 85 atm, I feel like shurikens is completely useless unless Im not understanding their importance?

[dense root]

are you using shurikens that rotate around you when you shift?

[molten cape]

ya

[dense root]

if so the purpose is to gain the extra armor and shred a little bit of resistance

[heavy oasis]

theres no way to export my online characters gear into an online planner or anything is there

maybe my standards are just too high and i dont know it

i am pretty noob

[outer mango]

Not atm

[molten cape]

is that worth it or can i replace it with something else?

[dense root]

it's worth it

[heavy oasis]

same question tbh, my idols are all pretty bad

[sacred granite]

Can my Minions trigger the effect of Bone Curse?
Tried to ask ingame but Global is busy yelling at each other about Wolcen again

[heavy oasis]

im supposed to use like 5 3x1 large idols with %hp + res and i have found 0 that have either of those stats

[dense root]

nope

[agile lodge]

How do attributes like strength or intelligence affect skills with their tag? Is it a % or flat value?

[dense root]

press alt while hovering over the skill and it'll tell you

[wind vessel]

if i am looking for a high ilvl unique (76ilvl in this case), if i want to try rune of ascendance, do i need to use on high ilvl base?

[dense root]

no

[desert quest]

Yes you still need to path to the nodes. Can't jump the nodes.

[dense root]

boss uniques can't be made with runes though if it's a boss item

[errant harbor]

is there a trade in this game ? Can i buy some unused uniques from other people with gold or something else ?

[desert quest]

Not yet

[dense root]

not yet

[errant harbor]

ok thanks.

[fading bison]

bummer, thanks

[heavy oasis]

is there a generic best way to make a filter for searching for upgrades? do u search for bases with 1 high tier affix ur looking for? 2 affixes of any tier?

[dreamy briar]

Is the black screen windows crash documented, or is it some weird issue that just I'm getting? My screen goes blank, my fans spin to max, but audio keeps playing

[fast valley]

how to abandon a quest? Game says "J" to open quest log but nothing happens

[timid hatch]

i put all rare base types i want and try to craft them up until i have T20 items, then its a matter of getting exalteds

T20 is a good step

[heavy oasis]

so u just show all rares of that base type regardless of affixes?

[dreamy briar]

You kind of have to look at them all, because afaik you can't filter by forging potential. You can get items with 60 forging potential, and any item you can get lucky with scrolls and get T5x4 mods starting from just 1 good mod

[heavy oasis]

does this only happen in this game? sounds like it could be an unstable overclock related problem

[heavy oasis]

thats fair i suppose

[dreamy briar]

is the highest i've seen so far, dunno if it goes higher

[sinful laurel]

60 is highest

[split quail]

Is Void an element?
Do elemental increases or resistences count for it?

[heavy oasis]

are u keeping a good eye on temps while playing

[candid elm]

No. Elemental is Fire, Cold, Lightning.

[timid hatch]

elemnts are fire cold and lightning

[dreamy briar]

Yes, its specifically just LE that does it, I play much more demanding games, like Icarus

[heavy oasis]

any overclocks?

[split quail]

Got me thinking.
It's 43% to the +8 armor of that item, right?

[heavy oasis]

updated drivers/bios?

[timid hatch]

no, 43% is global to your armor

[cold plaza]

No. There are no local modifiers in LE

[heavy oasis]

i had same problem on tarkov and fixed it by reinstalling graphics drivers

[split quail]

Ah ok ok

[dreamy briar]

overclocked processor, but like I said, the overclock has been stable for a year on much more demanding games, even stuff like cyberpunk

[timid hatch]

unlike poe, the same mod written EXACTLY the same on two different pieces of gear actually behave the same

[split quail]

Anyone else experiencing long reload times?
Thought it's because my game is on HDD, but moved it to SSD and it's no different

[timid hatch]

they go away when you get to monos mostly

[ripe tiger]

wats soulfire bastion for?

is it the gambler?

[timid hatch]

yes

[ripe tiger]

ehh how much gold should i have for it?

[candid elm]

Yes, the souls gambling thing

[dense root]

you don't gamble with gold

[candid elm]

Gold is Lightless Arbor

[dense root]

gold is for lightless arbor

[ripe tiger]

ahh

ok

[winged cove]

minion bonuses good to totems?

[digital pollen]

can anyone tell me the best way to farm a harbinger of stars belt ?

[heavy oasis]

it may be behaving strangely specifically on LE, i would try disabling it and see if the problem still occurs

its best to just eliminate any potential causes

to help you find the reason

[acoustic thicket]

Does endgame "maps" get hard?

Its easier than the story campaign so far

[desert quest]

As corruption goes higher, yes

Every 2 corruption is 1% health and 1% damage

[faint cape]

Totems are minions, yes

[cold plaza]

Totems are minions

[winged cove]

thx

[dense root]

unique set or belt nodes in empowered fall of the empire

it's a common belt though so it shouldn't be super hard to find

[split basin]

how do you get into spriggan form ?

[outer jay]

put it on your bar and press the button

[split basin]

oh i see

[restive lodge]

Is corruption in monolith account wide or i hav to redo for a new character?

[dense remnant]

per character

[restive lodge]

Dang thanks

[bright ice]

are echo reward options random when in a party?

[short stump]

reward is lost if you die in party for sure

[random rain]

how do i unlock 5th monolith blessing choice?

[timid hatch]

the party leader goes through the mono as normal, everyone else gets a choice between 2 random options, scaled based on distance from start, unless the leader did a beacon or vessel node

[timid hatch]

get to 200 corruption

[random rain]

how to unlock the 5th?

gotcha thanks

[wind vessel]

is it hard to farm herald of the scurry?

[heavy oasis]

if im trying to farm LP high roll peak of the mountain, should i farm the level 20 dungeon for a smaller unique boss drop pool, or is it worth doing the higher tiers for more loot?

[timid hatch]

higher tiers gives higher change for more LP

[heavy oasis]

i see

[subtle kindle]

pretty rare, just grind black sun empowered

[acoustic thicket]

Is fire aura good guys?

[spiral yacht]

Should i keep going with echo warpath with my void knight, or should i start looking at something else? I feel like the damage is struggling in emp monos already

[mint prawn]

question please how to search "AND" in stash tab?
Eg. I want to filter all Gloves AND Body Armor

[wind vessel]

that is what i thought, sadge

[sinful laurel]

It is good

[dusky flume]

tmw chaos glyph hits just right and gives detonating arrow

[carmine glade]

I need help to choose 2 points of passives for my forge guard, can someone help me figure out where to put them?

only the ones in the red square are viable

[dim garnet]

does vomit from zombies count as a spell?

[carmine glade]

hold on, i could actually go for hammer stance and get 25% passive damage reduction...

nvm it's also 25% damage penalty

The talent that gives me +4 damage/point every 3 seconds for 1 spell looks so bad, maybe i could just grab strength

[balmy cargo]

any one know how the online servers work? i live in EU but i do have allot of friends in NA can i still play with them ? some games have server that you pick servers some games like Diablo you need to get the right version of the game NA or EU and ofc then there are some game like CS GO were you can only play on the server that are closest to you

[hasty raft]

Hi small question for the necromancer: I have from the Bone Curse and in the passive tree Armor Shred, both combined I have 100% Armor Shred Chance now. What happens if I have a higher shred chance? Do I get 2 stacks at once?

[subtle kindle]

yes

[hasty raft]

Thanks lets stack Shred 😄 same goes for Bleeding right?

[subtle kindle]

yeah

all ailments work that way

[hasty raft]

Thank you! 🙂

[wise pond]

has there been some insight on why the endgame (timelines, monoliths, echo webs, etc.) are character-specific and not account-wide?

[vocal depot]

70 hp and 5% more total armor vs. 11% block?

[carmine coyote]

depends

[lethal canyon]

IS life leech instant or over time if it's a hit?

[carmine coyote]

3 sec over

[limber flicker]

Does anyone else experience heavy lag when playing multiplayer?

[carmine coyote]

regardless

[lethal canyon]

If i hit before my health dropped to i have some lasting healing?

[carmine coyote]

if you reach full hp while leeching, all the leech pool will be removed

until you drop hp and start leeching again

[sage shale]

in which map is Seer boss?

[dusky flume]

i wonder if i can even kill lagon lul

[lethal canyon]

@carmine coyote So by that logic leech is very secondary on spellblade/sorc

[ripe tiger]

u should have just talked to her recently

a bunch of enemies will spawn when u talk to her, defend her

[sage shale]

I left zone already so idk where I was xd

[carmine coyote]

at least, not mandatory

[lunar holly]

risen lake

[carmine coyote]

you should have ton of ward/sec to prevent having to opt for leech

[sage shale]

ty

is it inside the rift?

[carmine coyote]

you can skip that quest

btw, the one with the seer

[sage shale]

im just doing all story to unlock stuff tbh 1st time so doing all xd

[carmine coyote]

you get 3 or more quests for points up ahead

[lunar holly]

it's outside the rift, an old lady to the north-west-ish

[dusky flume]

ffs, ive gotten 4 jelkhor drops, all of them roll with -4 mana cost >.< i need 1 of them with fking -5 😔

[carmine coyote]

no real need to do them all

[weak token]

im not sure what im supposed to do here to progress. I dont have the waypoint for this and I cant see any question marks when I try to go other places in this era

[sage shale]

im just doing quests for these otherwise I hate questing lol

[ripe tiger]

u likely need to take a time rift from a different time line

[hasty raft]

The Death Knights in the Necromancer Tree, do they use the Skill of the Acolyte of Hungering Souls? So If I spec in these souls, will the souls of the Death Knight become stronger?

[weak token]

nope had to find out in the forums, the entrance is in Thetima

[split quail]

If 2 people are in a party, the mobs get x2 HP, right?

[heavy oasis]

170%

[split quail]

But same damage and quantity?

[heavy oasis]

afaik

[barren summit]

Hi, I have some question regard to base damage conversion. (I cannot find my answer from in-game guide)
I have read some thread discuss this area.
What I understand is; Suppose I have 100 base Phy damage (skill), 100% base physical damage convert to lightning damage, 10% increase lightning damage, 10% increase physical damage.
It will result in 110 lightning damage (because the 10% phys doesn't affect this since the skill tag changes from phys to lightning)

But when I actually test it, I equip a piece of gear with 10% increase physical damage, the tooltip damage goes up.

Does this mean the +%phys actually affect the conversion logic or the tooltip somehow show incorrect information?

[dense root]

i would just never trust the tooltip dps in an arpg tbh

i've never played an arpg where tooltip dps is reliable

[nova sable]

depends on the skills usually

for some basic skills without complex interactions it can work fine

[barren summit]

In my case it is Lethal mirage with 2x Fulgurite tho

[ripe tiger]

how does endurance work in low life ward builds?

do i permanently have endurance dmg reduction to my ward?

[tired vector]

What's a good bossing build? Liking the coldbear as my first character but id like to level a good single target monster as a change of pace

[latent lion]

Squirrels just MELT bosses for me

[candid elm]

No. Endurance protects Health, not Ward. Base Endurance Threshold is 20% of max Health. Low life is considered... 35? 33? Something like that.

I'm trying out some low life builds with Death Seal with Deadlock and just getting some regular Endurance - not Threshold - and % Life works out really well.

[latent lion]

can someone explain how to farm dungeons for lots of exalted items? I read about stacking across dungeons?

[slim ravine]

I would also like to know the answer to this question

[bitter delta]

Do I get the unique finder buff by just completing the first set of echoes?

[dense root]

step 1: wait for a day where the modifier when you enter the temporal sanctum gives more exalted items
step 2: enter dungeon, go to first floor, find the door that has a mod that gives more exalted items
step 3: full clear second floor in both eras to take advantage of the two modifiers that boost exalted item drops
step 4: kill boss because you're already there and it does drop exalted items

[slim ravine]

Modifiers are different each day?

[ripe tiger]

what item is it that converts leech to damage?

[candid elm]

The blessing? When you beat the boss of the echoes, you get a choice of 1 of 3 randomly selected blessings from the pool of blessings that boss can give. You may randomly get the unique blessing as a choice the first time. Or you may have to do it a couple times.

Once you get to Empowered and 100+ Corruption, you get 4 Blessing Choices to pick 1 from the boss kills. 200+ is 5 Choices.

[steady kayak]

are the empowered blessings numerically stronger too?

[candid elm]

Yes

[bitter delta]

I see.

[soft flint]

if i start playing a class i enver played, how quick can i swap skills? is that even possible here? if i level like 3 skills until im lvl like 40 and then wanna swap over to something else, do skills level up faster later? or is the xp set to the character level xp?

[dense root]

they were in previous patches

[fresh flint]

Do exp Penalty exist for doing to hard content?
Im lvl 74 and i doing a lvl 90 Monolith

[candid elm]

You can swap skills whenever you want. Skills have a minimum level that increases as you level up. They also get increased XP until they reach a certain level so it's easy to catch up.

[dense root]

i haven’t checked when they refresh now but i’m assuming it’s the same

[wicked plover]

are seasons going to be available offline mode?

[ripe tiger]

u get

1. minimum skill levels as u level ur character
2. accelerated exp gain up to a certain skill level that also increases as u level

[candid elm]

It's up to your level + 10. So if you're 74 in a 90 area, you'd get XP as if in a 84 (74+10) area. You'll still level up fine, though.

[carmine glade]

What's the best sentinel single-target ability for a fire build?

[candid elm]

I just go for whatever level of content I can handle with that character

[vocal depot]

is this a 0.9 ring https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzBMEZQViA ?

[severe shell]

I am trying to finish monolith: fall of the outcast and ending storm i have done all the echo's and killed the boss's in each of them but for some reason i cant figure out how to progress them

[fresh light]

how good is armor shred effect?

[outer mango]

good

[urban seal]

what does legendary potential mean on the item?

[candid elm]

Says added in Beta 0.7.9 in your link

[steady kayak]

Uniques with Legendary Potential can have mods from Rare items added to them in the Temporal Sanctum

[cinder fossil]

open the game guide ( press G ) and look up "legendary"

all the info you need

[night zinc]

when you skip chapter quests doing dungeons do you get the passive points and idol slot unlocks?

[desert quest]

Good for hit builds. Armor doesn't affect DoT

[outer mango]

no

[dusky flume]

sad life, when rune of removal removes wrong affix

[vocal depot]

oh ye the phys pen got changed to more dmg per shock, pretty incredible dmg right now

[nova sable]

are sets just useless? like none of the builds I looked at seem to use them, guessing this is in part because they don't get LP ?

[candid elm]

That it can be upgraded in Temporal Sanctum dungeon by sacrificing an exalted item with the same base type and 4 mods, which adds # of random mods from the exalted to the unique, # is based on Legendary Potential. 2 LP you get 2 of the exalted item's mods randomly added.

[fresh light]

can u seal 2 stats on the same item?

[spiral yacht]

crafted legendary, T7 Crit chance and T5 damage. Got both suffixes with useless stats lmfao
