[oak anvil]

I believe Kain said no dps meters are planned atm

[fiery heron]

@sage iris 100% = 1/(1+1) ... 200% = 2/(1+2) ... etc

[cedar light]

I meant to post this in a different place, but yea...I know they dont want something exact, but some kind of gauge would be so helpful

[oak anvil]

I agree

[fiery heron]

@sage iris thats how efficiency is generally defined in games

[proud totem]

Can someone help me understand why my fireballs never crit? Even with 100% crit shrines I don't get them.

[fiery heron]

Guys, is there no a way to modify glyph/rune drops with the filter?

[oak anvil]

Especially since bosses have adaptive damage mitigation so can't really time it against them

[storm isle]

Does the totem cast speed increase speed of summoning healing totem(sprigan)?

[raven pilot]

What’s the best single target dps spec?

[exotic basin]

doesn't look like it, why would you want it to? (out of curiosity)

[fiery heron]

cuz I wanna see em more

[noble zodiac]

I'm trying to reset my Timeline to raise my Corruption, but the only resets I see will REDUCE my Corruption

is this RNG intended, or do i jus need to explore the web more?

[fiery heron]

they blend in with all the shitty shards etc

[storm isle]

You need to go deeper

[exotic basin]

probably easier to just highlight items that give you that specific affix?

and pray to the shatter gods

[austere chasm]

So when I respect a skill..... i have to relevel it? seems pretty lame

[oak anvil]

Rune of Removal gods*

[storm isle]

Honestly later on it takes 3 maps to max out the skill again

[pastel pebble]

It's not so bad as long as you aren't doing it a ton

[austere chasm]

Well im not done with the campagin... sooo 😦

[exotic basin]

all the gods

[neon sparrow]

do hardcore characters not die for good in dungeons? cause i didn't become a ghost character

[storm isle]

Yeah doing it early when you want to test all kinds of builds is problematic

[native sail]

You have Singularity on. Singularity overruled it. Cannot always overrides can.

[fiery heron]

@exotic basin is there anything special u can do to get more Chaos glyphs, like gambling or whatnot

[sage iris]

you're pretty fucked if you respec everything at like level 40

[exotic basin]

as far as I'm aware, your best bet is running Mono Glyphs

[sage iris]

but later on it doesn't really matter

[exotic basin]

somebody can correct me

[fiery heron]

fucks that

[pastel pebble]

If I'm messing around I try to keep two main skills and then leveling the others

[fiery heron]

are you saying i should just run monoliths?

[stone lake]

Hello I'm experiencing the lagon bug where the quest cant be completed and no portal is opened. Supposedly, someone joining me and talking to the boss can spawn the portal. Anyone willing to help a bro out?

[pastel pebble]

Some dungeons can net a lot of glyphs

But later monos will get you set

[exotic basin]

I think so yeah, I don't know a better way

[fiery heron]

isn't that fairly close to "just play the game noob"

[exotic basin]

^^ there we go, dungeons too, but to get to dungeons, you're better off running Monos 😄

[fiery heron]

right, so literally play the game

thanks

[exotic basin]

😦

[noble zodiac]

is it better to get base armor or Increased Armor % as an Affix?

[native sail]

Teleport to Soreth'ka in Maj'elka.

[pastel pebble]

A lot kf things in this game are designed precisely that way funny enough. Like gatgering gold is best done through just playing the maps and dungeons

It comes off unhelpful for sure

[fiery heron]

man discord is being weird sometimes... no wonder I accidentally wrote in Dev chat... Alt+Num4 puts me in dev chat for some reason lol

[stone lake]

Thank you that worked!

[north pebble]

can all uniques have legendary potential?

[native sail]

Yes. But each item has an individual rarity scalar for it.

[pastel pebble]

@native sail my HC already died BTW

[native sail]

F

[pastel pebble]

I got too bold and risked it

[fiery heron]

what gotchu

[pastel pebble]

Monos above my paygrade, lol

[storm isle]

Does the totem cast speed increase speed of summoning healing totem(sprigan)?

[north pebble]

thank you, time to farm reign of winter lol

[exotic basin]

that'll do it

[pastel pebble]

I was doing quite well til I got sloppy

[exotic basin]

what were you playing

[pastel pebble]

Void Knight Javelin smites

[fiery heron]

cant u just farm forever without fighting anything real in Monos?

[exotic basin]

tasty

[fiery heron]

at some point you're gonna wanna unlock higher content but till then

[exotic basin]

I'm currently levelling up a Paladin Multi-Smite with DW Aurelis (not gotten to 50 yet)

[pastel pebble]

Pally smites is always nice

[fiery heron]

@exotic basin thats what im playing with a shield atm

[bronze ocean]

Only Avarice, Gambler's Fallacy and Orchirian's Petals can't.

[fiery heron]

crazy strong compard to whatever else ive tried recently

no idea what aurelis is tho

[warm yew]

Thought they added them to the pool of Uniques from Soulfire Bastion, which can give them LP

[native sail]

They did Ash

[fiery heron]

oh that sword

[native sail]

They're just better versions of them as a whole

[north pebble]

oh the quest gloves u cant farm them huh...thank you for that since im using them

[fiery heron]

@exotic basin are you going electrify then, ya?

[native sail]

Just go run Soulfire to get them but better

[exotic basin]

yeah, I've also specced into axe throwing and taken some idols to proc smite on throw damage

[low pike]

is it common for a level 85ish character doing empowered monoliths? I just unlocked the empowered ones for the first time and it seems a bit weird to me to have such a large level difference.

[fiery heron]

@exotic basin im playing crit with that crazy 250% more multiplier

[warm yew]

@low pike - it's fairly normal, yes

[exotic basin]

single target feels lacking at the minute, but aoe is a pumper

[low pike]

cool, thanks

[fiery heron]

@exotic basin does the lightning bolt stuff proc the electrify?

[waxen sundial]

What is ward cap based off of

[fiery heron]

@exotic basin says "smite casts lightning bolt" so I couldnt tell from its wording

[violet elk]

Hey guys i want to lvl my second char do i need to play the story again or can i do it in a diffrent way ?

[exotic basin]

I've not actually had anything survive long enough for me to figure this part out

[vast lotus]

which is more fun build for lich marrowing shards or hungry souls, or are there any more fun builds for after the campaign?

[pastel pebble]

Depending on your build and resources you can jump into monos post-mastery

[hasty scaffold]

is there ever a case where you only need an exalted with less than 4 affixes to craft legendary?

[fiery heron]

@exotic basin i leveled with bleeding btw, up till mid 60s, ailments are crazy with that many hits

[exotic basin]

same - running this atm with Rainbow Edge

[hasty scaffold]

I must confess, I'm playing consecrated ground dot judgement, and imo it's the best damn build i've ever played

[warm yew]

No - the requirements for the Cache of Eternity include an Exalted Item with 4 affixes

[fiery heron]

@exotic basin that thing is a trap imo, cuz it says 'melee'

@exotic basin oh wait, u were using multistrike ya?

[exotic basin]

correct, MS is proccing all my smites, I don't use it directly

[fiery heron]

@exotic basin then yea works okay, but general bleed procs off the smite too

[exotic basin]

I want to head that way when I'm finished buffing smite with the damage to health side

[exotic basin]

feels chonk

[hasty scaffold]

super tanky and kills super fast. you get 2% more dot dmg for every 1 point of mana you use, and if you use 1000 mana, it's 2000% more dmg. don't know why nobody is abusing it.

also, with the belt that gives you 100% ward for mana used, that's 1000 ward every 6.5 seconds

combine it with 2 julras rings, that's 1500 ward every 7 seconds

[violet elk]

Hey guys i want to lvl my second char do i need to play the story again or can i do it in a diffrent way ?

[fiery heron]

@hasty scaffold new gloves are crazy too , so it's not like hit-based is bad

[pastel pebble]

@violet elk

[exotic basin]

there's a skip you can do through a dungeon to take you to act 8 I believe, but you'll want to smash the campaign for idol slots and passive points

[bright ice]

anyone know if there's a bug with the first Lagon fight in campaign? On my second char I can't complete the quest after defeating him

[pastel pebble]

Teleport to the next location IIRC

[violet elk]

ah so i need to get to the point where i chose my second skill tree

[fiery heron]

@exotic basin a skip eh?

[pastel pebble]

Yeah, then you can brute force into monos

Or do dungeons

[bright ice]

what's the next location?

[sick thicket]

Anybody knows how to select items etc.. in inventory on a controller with Thumb pad instead of D-Pad?

[pastel pebble]

IDR, I just vibe my way a bloodpath not read

[lost gulch]

Does cost of tabs ever cap out or does it go up 10k each forever?

[exotic basin]

I personally wouldn't, the campaign doesn't take long and is pretty easy

[pastel pebble]

It gets bigger and bigger

I skipped on my HC

Only reason I died so early

[topaz ice]

anybody have a fix for the cant connect issues

[fiery heron]

@exotic basin ive run it daily this week and am a pretty big fan of procrastinating so thanks for the info

[exotic basin]

I don't know the full details of the skip, I think @pastel pebble could probably give you more advice there

[pastel pebble]

It will not be good advice

But it'll be advice

[fiery heron]

I found a reddit thread on it

[pastel pebble]

It should be good

Mostly I could get by with some range on me and some tankiness like Primalist or Sentinel

I know Acolyte gets a lil zany

[exotic basin]

you don't miss the free passives and idol slots?

[pastel pebble]

You gotta go back and get them

[exotic basin]

is it actually that much faster if you need to go back and do stuff anyway?

[pastel pebble]

I delay it a lil hard sometimes, lol

[fiery heron]

guys I thought armour shred was infinite, does it have a duration+

[pastel pebble]

Maybe?

Yoh level fast and then you just bolt through the campaign with efficiency

[exotic basin]

I might try it with the next alt

[brisk cape]

any way to open this bugged reward box or am I just fucked?

[fiery heron]

I got to like 84 stacks of armour shred and it started to run out

[pastel pebble]

Cause once you wanna get your idols and need them you can just bee-line through

[fiery heron]

or something

[dire basalt]

Something I've wondered about, what does mana regen do for a transformed druid? I'm seeing people gear it and even spec into it (currently a thunder swarmblade), but why?

[exotic basin]

lasts 4 seconds

[fiery heron]

that'd explain it

[bright ice]

does "transform" apply reaper?

[cedar quiver]

Is there a keybind to just have items deposit in bank by clicking on them?

[fiery heron]

shift+right

[cedar quiver]

oh thanks

i didnt see where it said anywhere tho 🤔

[fiery heron]

yea, I was mistaken. Maybe I saw it in the stash?

or the vendor?

[cedar quiver]

for vendor it shows

if youre selling

[fiery heron]

yea vendor has the quickpurchase, but it really should state that the general rule is any window-swapping, incl crafting

oh, it does say 'sell'

[vast lotus]

at end game are all resists got through the idol system?

[pastel pebble]

I think it depends

[fiery heron]

no, you need to use holy aura

OMEGALUL

that thing gives like 40@ res doe

[pastel pebble]

A lot are gotten through idols but most builds get some via passives

Yeah

Or defensive skills

It's a lot more forgiving than PoE in that regard

[safe trellis]

Shroud of winter is causing a frost orb to fall from the sky and hurt me...? Am I missing some other interaction as to why this would happen? I'm super confused lol

[fiery heron]

not to mention that the curve is different

[native sail]

Item implicits, blessings, idols, passives.

[fiery heron]

because all monsters have 75% pen in the endgame

so being at 50 rather than 75% res is not that big a deal

[burnt wigeon]

Is chill really as useless as it seems? Normal mobs are basically one tap and bosses don't seem to be affected and even if, not to a point where it matters. Why would I play a frost build over an ignite build? Or does all frost dmg have a frostbite chance?

[fiery heron]

in poe its literally double dmg which is fucked beyond belief tbh

[acoustic thicket]

where can i buy item bases for craft?

[fiery heron]

frost build is all about Freeeze, not chill

chill is just an ailment u can get on whatever u play

or even Frostbite

[pastel pebble]

What level are you? Most worthwhile pick ups are in maps or at endgame dungeons like soulfire

From there you can take the gear and alter it to your needs

[acoustic thicket]

55, just got access to monoliths

[nova notch]

Is it fine to skip the champaign if i got all my passive points quests and idol slots?

[exotic basin]

if you don't care about the story for sure

[native sail]

Only other reward is +1 all attributes on completion, not that important

[pastel pebble]

Yeah, it's not not worthwhile but it is not high on a list of priorities

[native sail]

That's like a "oh I found a Red RIng randomly, guess I'll go make it a little easier" scenario for me

[flint knoll]

The agility talent for rogues. Is that hit on ME or on monsters?

[native sail]

When you hit

Generally on hit = you hit things

[flint knoll]

ahh okay

Thanks alot

[robust wadi]

Anyone else having trouble logging in?

When I pick my online toon and try to login, it just says connecting and stops and sends me back to the character screen

[native sail]

I got hung up on character select for a couple minutes but it let me in after 3 attempts

[untold hedge]

is the duping exploit on the gambler already reported?

[robust wadi]

And then I just got a message saying online not available

wtf lol

[spare cedar]

@rancid magnet from 0.9e notes: "Fixed a bug where the Shade of Orobyss' concentric ring explosions could occasionally deal damage a second time, 2 seconds after the first." we did it baby 😌😌😌

[rancid magnet]

"occasionally"

[viral kraken]

is there any tricks to leveling second characters? or do I have to just regrind everything

[rancid magnet]

oh i actually have a shade with circle of death

[round spruce]

Are there any weird things with gambler? Im lvl 61 and trying to get crescent axes and after spending 20k on rerolling i got NONE

[native sail]

That's because it's capped at level 40

[round spruce]

wack. big sadge

goooood to know

[desert seal]

Hello, the recipe for fractured crown using rune of ascension - is this 100% guaranteed?

[round spruce]

i guess i need to grab any from dropped ones

[potent warren]

I've done every mono zone, how come I dont have empowered monos unlocked yet?

[native sail]

They did it to make way for Soulfire Bastion and stop people from targeting high tier uniques without gutting the rates of uniques as a whole

[native sail]

Did you go back to the central island connecting the level 90s?

[potent warren]

Yea I can't interact with it at all

[native sail]

Well shit. If it doesn't work on a relog/rezone you may be stuck

[desert seal]

I had the same bug you have to open the monoliths of the 3 zones first

[potent warren]

what do u mean by that

[native sail]

first time I've heard, will keep in mind

[desert seal]

Like click into the node

So the stone lifts up

Do it for all 3 and then go into the middle island

[potent warren]

I did that, still nothing

I have two quests - Monolith Ending the storm, blood frost and death
When I click on em they tell me to go to ancient era? but there's no quest for me?

but I have a blessing in every mono zone

[spring bone]

How in the name of god you kill Lagon as a minion build

[flint knoll]

Is there any way to reroll implicits on uniques?

[potent warren]

I relogged and it works now

[faint cape]

No

[gloomy maple]

why my 2h axe looks like this lol cmon man

[faint cape]

Yes, if the helm meets the requirements

[native sail]

Because not every unique has their art finished in game yet

There's two hundred and eighty-two uniques in this game, it's a process.

[gloomy maple]

I was expecting them to have made good progress in that department

ah I understand it

[native sail]

They add more like every update

And by more I mean both art and unique items

[noble zodiac]

I have 3 Gaze of Orobyss

When I reset the web, will it consume all 3, or just one at a time?

I'm trying to decide if it's more efficient to bank Gazes until I can increase Corruption to 200 with one single go (if it consumes all at once)

[native sail]

It should consume them all

[subtle tartan]

What build should I start the game with if I want to farm the dungeons on the highest difficulties?

[native sail]

Abomination

[noble zodiac]

ah, I'll wait til I can get +89 Corruption then, since i'm curently at 111

unless of course I die and lose all of those Gazes...

[cedar quiver]

How do I filter to show T4 affix and above?

[mint raft]

whats the fastest way to level my second character to monos?

[native sail]

I don't think you lose them on death, pretty sure it only consumes when you kill the Shade

[orchid wave]

Is there a way I can check what slots I can get bleed chance on? I need to apply more stacks lol

[native sail]

Search the shard for bleed on hit in your material list and read what it goes on

[mint raft]

also is a solo account worth doing or should i just make a regular?

[orchid wave]

Yeah its only on weapon but that doesnt make sense. How do people get 4-500% chance and stuff

[native sail]

Ahh, okay. It's on death to shade you lose it, got it

[noble zodiac]

i've beaten him twice alrdy without dying at 111 Corruption, so i can beat him a third time with banked Gazes, no pressure at all

[native sail]

Passives, skill trees, idols, uniques

Multiple classes have class specific bleed aaffixes on their gear

[kindred viper]

Can you put passive points into a mastery you didn't select?

[faint cape]

Only halfway up the tree, but yes

[gentle drum]

Do I want to use +spellpowe % idols with active totem using totem pop build? Does it snap shot at each cast?

[eternal owl]

I can't receive lagons blessing, tf

[native sail]

Bug. Teleport to Soreth'ka in Maj'elka.

[eternal owl]

ty

[faint cape]

Your spell damage doesn't affect your totems. Not exactly sure what you're asking here though.

[fading storm]

anyone know if you can move interact from attack key if you swapped mouse button moove/atk? i keep casting when picking things up

[faint cape]

I think LMB is always interact. You can probably do it from outside the game, though?

[fading storm]

hmm k

[mint raft]

how do i access my other characters stashes?

[fading storm]

might be able to work something out

thanks!

[spring bone]

are the idol for cast smite on throw attack even real ?

[native sail]

Just... open the stash?

[spring bone]

been farming the entire day and i havent seen a single one

[raven pilot]

someone wann give me end of time tp real quick on my new character?

[pure iron]

is there a work around for the lagon quest bug? got a friend that cant finish the quest after beating lagon

[mint raft]

i did and nothing was there

oh wait

[native sail]

@pure iron

[mint raft]

i clicked solo character on acc

oops

[native sail]

You can turn it off I think

[mint raft]

ill just make a new one i only got to lvl 2

[gentle drum]

Spell dmg does multiply on poison totem pop build

[waxen rapids]

Hey all, im having a weird bug where I can log into certain characters. Anyone know of any fixes? It just says "Lost connection to server" on those character's loading screens

[native sail]

No it doesn't

[faint cape]

Poison never deals spell damage

[raven pilot]

someone wanna give me end of time tp real quick on my new character?

[native sail]

Totem pop goes off of your totem's damage and also isn't a spell

[fiery heron]

can you load your online character onto this? https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/

[native sail]

Nope

[faint cape]

No

[fiery heron]

sadge

[errant aspen]

how do i get to the arena of champions? i only see an option for the endless arena

[native sail]

Maybe eventually we'll have an API to do so but for now we can't

[candid elm]

It just has an import for offline characters currently

[digital nest]

How does Lightning Blast casts Spark Nova on FIRST enemy hit work when channeled? Is it just the first enemy per channel? Or per each bolt from channeling?

[ripe gale]

Am I gimping my xp gain if im level 70 in an 85 zone?

[faint cape]

The way the channeling node is worded (in my memory), it'll go off each blast

[native sail]

It's capped at exp gain as if it was 10 levels above you. Honestly doesn't really matter.

[faint cape]

No. Like above, and higher level zones may have more xp multipliers as well.

[ripe gale]

alrighty thanks dudes

[fiery heron]

whats considered really bad exp? level minus 4 or something?

[raven pilot]

someone wanna give me end of time tp real quick on my new character?

[fiery heron]

u can do that?

[native sail]

You can

[raven pilot]

apparently you can choose your mastery. i want it so i can level faster

[fiery heron]

hm, odd design

[native sail]

I recommend getting a waypoint before you do that otherwise you end up in level 25+ areas with basically no skills and no passives

[candid elm]

You can't put points into your mastery until you've got 20 points in the base class though

[raven pilot]

Im in the main area

[native sail]

^

What Goat said

[raven pilot]

You get passives

[native sail]

Not enough...

[raven pilot]

No, The mastery passive

[faint cape]

He means the mastery passive bonuses and the mastery skill

[native sail]

Yeah I mean, I guess. Most of them aren't really noticeable at low levels with nothing to compliment them.

[candid elm]

I'd suggest asking in #👥┃lfg or in the in game chat

[raven pilot]

For some reason i cannot type in global, I tried. Its not doing anything.

[sage iris]

can you get uniques from set item echos?

[native sail]

If it specifies set item it's going to give you a set item

[raven pilot]

Yeah, but its a bit and +1 shadow is nice.

[vital jungle]

Is the talent "Comet Rush" bugged? It doesnt seem to reset my haste buff duration

[faint cape]

Some mastery passives give pretty noticeable effect at low level that fades into nothing (like increased damage lol)

[mint raft]

when i make a second character should i progress through the story again or should i do smth else?

[faint cape]

Gotta do enough story to get your passives and idols

Check bottom left on your map

[mint raft]

do you know what level that is usually around?

[native sail]

Assuming you do every side quest, roughly 45ish

[faint cape]

If you don't skip any portions, complete chapter 7

Basically right after you grab the lance from the tree dude

[native sail]

dead tree, good for me

[distant frigate]

i've just seen this, anyone knows what is it? lol

[soft field]

what does minion size do for minions besides get big?

[errant aspen]

hardmode, not currently active

[native sail]

Masochist mode was an optional difficulty that halved your damage and double enemy damage. It's disabled for now.

[distant frigate]

oh okay

[native sail]

I believe it makes them generate more threat

[fiery heron]

when does Exp become really bad?

take it u cant fuck around in a lowlevel zone

[steel merlin]

Inherently gives them more "taunt" as enemies focus whoever is closer to them

[spring bone]

95-100

[faint cape]

Makes them technically closer to enemies to be targeted slightly more often. Maybe easier to hit with projectiles?

[fiery heron]

@spring bone know about penalties?

[carmine saffron]

anyone know if ''fire spell dmg'' give minion dmg or it need to be ''minion fire dmg '' ? if the minion TAG is FIRE, SPELL, Minion

[fiery heron]

latter

[native sail]

Has to specify minion

[faint cape]

Minions only get minion stats

[candid elm]

It's up to you. I usually go through the campaign until I'm 15/15 Passives and 8/8 Idols, which is right after you get the Lance. Then I go into monos, by which point I'm usually in the mid/high 40s and the first mono is 58.

But you can do whatever you're comfortable with. Go earlier or later.

[steep folio]

I don't 100% understand blessings. I kill a boss, and get to chose 1 that has been randomly rolled. My question is can I go back and kill the boss again for the same blessing with a better roll, and do they overwrite or stack? TY

[candid elm]

You can go again. It's overwritten

[steep folio]

Thank you, much!

[faint cape]

You can rerun. Won't always be better or the same options.

[candid elm]

There's also higher value versions from Empowered

[brisk cape]

you can look for new rolls and new blessings by killing the boss again

[steep folio]

thanks again, both! appreciate it

[brisk cape]

when you unlock lv 100 empowered rifts, all the blessings get a roll range boost

they're kind of permanent buffs to your character.

[mint raft]

alr thanks

[stoic steeple]

what other options does lich form builds have that are s-tier? i dont like rip blood relying on transplant to do damage and i want to respec

[candid elm]

If you prefer, you can go earlier and go back to get the passives/idols later

[steel merlin]

If i want a specific rare item drop from mono boss is there something that helps? Corruption? Blessings?

[solar ridge]

does doom on hit from unique ring matters for shadow dagger bladedancer?

[mint raft]

i might as well just get them done and out of the way

[native sail]

Hungering Souls and Marrow Shards. That's uh... That's about it. Lich has pretty bad build variety.

[digital nest]

Wandering Spirits is cool but doesn't feel terribly strong

[native sail]

I believe corruption helps and that's about it. There's been some conflicting stuff about blessings but Mike ascribes to them not affecting it so it's probably safe to assume blessings don't.

[vital jungle]

Is it possible to have a filter that hides certain item types unless it is a unique?

[faint cape]

Item rarity does help for boss rares

[noble musk]

someone know how to change the server where am playing?

[indigo pilot]

Just a question, is it normal for bear to feel desyncy? Like a known issue?

[faint cape]

Can't yet aside from joining somone else's game

[native sail]

Sure. At the very top have a rule that always shows uniques. Right below it put a rule that hides the bases you don't want.

[candid elm]

Sure. Just usually it's set to show all uniques. But you don't have to do that

[vital jungle]

Oh okay so filters work in a "top overwrites whatever is below" way?

[native sail]

Yup

[vital jungle]

Awesome, thank you

Though I think I dont need to do it either way

Since they glow with or without the filter

[solar ridge]

alt Z

[vital jungle]

?

My filter is filtering it out, on purpose

[solar ridge]

oh

[thorn ermine]

lol ppl be spamming "alt+z" when someone shows an image of no text legendary.

[orchid wave]

Hey @native sail is 900 dmg per stack a decent amount for bleed? should i be trying to juice the per stack dmg or how many i apply per atk

[native sail]

That sounds like plenty if you can get decent stack counts

[thorn ermine]

not bad young padawan, here's mine.

without sigils

[native sail]

Pretty sure my bleed Shield Rush had less per stack than that. But it also put like 15 stacks per hit so

[vital jungle]

I swear in every ARPG I ever play I always end up overleveled for the zone

[orchid wave]

Daaamn thats hype @thorn ermine 😄

[thorn ermine]

kek

[orchid wave]

I'm struggling to get past the 75 zone boss atm. I cant tell if its my dmg or my survivability. Died to him like 3 times

[thorn ermine]

def surviv

[native sail]

Lagon? Deadass the advice for him is "don't get hit"

[thorn ermine]

with ur dmg if u throw enough hammers, boss should fall.

[orchid wave]

Im thinking about dropping holy aura for manifest armor as another source of bleed chance since the aura doesnt do much for me

I'm melee mulstriker not throw

[thorn ermine]

holy aura is 30% increased damage, but I think that's additive with the increased dmg multiplier so would be way less than 30%

ah ok

wonder how that is, never tried it.

have u tried hammerdin?

[fiery heron]

Is this +4 corruption event worth doing or should I wait?

[orchid wave]

30% increase doesnt feel impactful currently. I played hammerdin offline on friday . hammerdin was stroner than this current build for sure

[fiery heron]

kinda sounds like a waste of time to do a +4 in general?

[native sail]

Yeah, I'd go higher than that

[thorn ermine]

ya i figured ranged would be better

[orchid wave]

multistrike for clearing feels very cool, spawning extra swords everytime i swing on stuff around me. But on single target... it might as well be auto attack

[fiery heron]

I went with a +11 , that high to you?

[thorn ermine]

lol ya

[native sail]

Got any gaze?

[thorn ermine]

1181>>1246 bleed damage when I hit aura, seems not too impactful, wonder if I should switch as well.

[fiery heron]

I am indeed staring down the encounter as we speak

[native sail]

I meant Gaze of Orobyss

[fiery heron]

i got a prismatic gaze hat

are you reffering to those blessings?

[vital jungle]

Whats the difference between Physical resistance and armour?

[native sail]

Gaze of Orobyss is a bonus corruption mechanic. You get it by killing mono bosses. They stack multiple times and as long as you don't die to the Shade you get a big boost to corruption

[fiery heron]

physical resistance is more predictable... armour is cryptic

[native sail]

Physical res is against all physical damage. Armor is only against hits and works on all types of damage but only 70% effectiveness for non-phys

[fiery heron]

@native sail well i aint died on this char yet in Monos, so guess we're on track but I dont see it anywhere

[native sail]

Ah, you're not in empowered are you?

[vital jungle]

Hmmm, not sure I understand :L

[viscid nova]

Does this mean "all sources" of bleed chance just from inside this particular skill's tree or literally "all sources" from everything (armor, weapons, passives, etc.)?

[fiery heron]

@native sail no idea, imma go with no?

[native sail]

Armor makes you take less damage from all HITS. It is less effective against non-physical damage types.

[dry charm]

is there a bug in temporal sanctum? dungeon

I can't keep going there's a non responding event

a door is shut yet the ping is pointing at it

[vital jungle]

Oh so like, it works against a melee, a fire melee, a void melee, etc.

So does that mean physical resistance doesnt nothing against meleee hits?

[fiery heron]

@vital jungle Physical Resistance is just like lightning resistance. Armour is explained by mouseover'ing the armour ingame , it applies to all damage at 70% and phys at 100%

[pastel birch]

just got a rune of ascendance as a primalist beginner, whats the best option to use it on? Im mainly looking to play a minion/totem build

[native sail]

No...

Resistance works against all damage, hits or not

And "hits" doesn't mean melee in this game

It means hits

[wanton tree]

Is there any way to get permanent (or very frequent) 0 mana? Wondering if you could have high uptime for Starved Strikes / Avatar of Hunger on Mana Strike

[native sail]

If it isn't damage over time, it's a hit

[fiery heron]

so most skills you can think of 'hit' , but some have 'damage over time'-tag so they dont hit

[native sail]

^

[fiery heron]

Deias when do you unlock the empowered ones

[dry charm]

!bug temporal-divine era dungeon, Door does not open

[native sail]

Not how that works

!bug

[ripe brook]

To make sure a bug gets fixed, please post about it here: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports.

[native sail]

Follow the link

[dry charm]

found it

well shit

[vital jungle]

So armour and resistances stack to reduce the damage you take from a hit?

And in the case of actual armour, it is just less effective against elemental damage.

Do I understand that properly?

[fiery heron]

and void dmg, etc

[native sail]

Yeah pretty much. Expand elemental to everything that isn't specifically physical though because elemental is exclusively fire/cold/lightning.

[marble ridge]

not a bug but multiplayer connectivity issues? anyone else?

[vital jungle]

Oh right because elemental in this game strictly refers to fire, lightning, and cold

[noble forge]

Can you NOT have the appropriate amount of Stability and down a boss with someone who DOES and still get boss loot?

[native sail]

No, if you don't have the stability you won't get loot

[vital jungle]

Stability?

[native sail]

Endgame stuff

[noble forge]

Thanks 👍🏼

[drifting echo]

What's "THE" OP build this patch?

[signal crater]

what 2 stats should i try to add to this?

[fiery heron]

@vital jungle if you hit 'esc' and click game guide, that stuff's actually quite elaborate too, case you didnt know

[vital jungle]

Yeah Im going through it right now, just wanted to make sure I understood it properly

[native sail]

Block effectiveness, less damage on block!

[vital jungle]

I wish PoE had a guide this good

[fiery heron]

@vital jungle the search is pretty fancy for sorting it too

[vital jungle]

Yeah, no result for stability though xD I'll probably figure it out eventually

[native sail]

I just want the guide to be rewritten because some of the phrasing is bad

[vital jungle]

Only level 25

[native sail]

Search "monolith"

[fiery heron]

stability yields "runes and glyph" and "forging potential"

are you sure you're spelling it right?

I think he might be talking about crafting stability

idk

[noble forge]

Can you still repick your blessings if you down another persons boss? Or at that point would you be there simply to help?

[native sail]

I think you're just there to help

[fiery heron]

if it's monolith stability, then that's just a resource you use to kill bosses, afaik

[upbeat sequoia]

so with the crafting can i make a normal into a rare with specific affixes?

[noble forge]

I struggle with Heorot, so I was hoping there would be some incentive for ppl to help me farm +LP on my Bow

[native sail]

Sure but good luck with that, normals have fuck all forging potential

[upbeat sequoia]

ok

[potent warren]

Yo this meteor belt is unusable 56 mana cost per cast.... It instantly deleted my rage

[fiery heron]

@upbeat sequoia use disocvery rune?

@upbeat sequoia sounds like my question from earlier

[native sail]

It's totally usable, you just need to have invested in sustain heavily

[potent warren]

No it's literally unusable lol it will take you out of any form instantly

[native sail]

Dread played meteor Werebear using it

[fiery heron]

@upbeat sequoia oh i missed that u said specific ones , Discovery is random

[potent warren]

if you crit fast

which is the whole point

I cast 4 meteors instantly

oh well guess its for mage players only to invest in reduced mana cost

[upbeat sequoia]

Also Discovery is only T1? isnt that the worst tier? t1 - t 5

[native sail]

https://youtu.be/mXQVc_hyaLg You were saying?

[potent warren]

Yea that's slow lol

[native sail]

Dude he's literally critting like every other attack

[potent warren]

hes using a melee slow attack lol

Try using a ranged projectile attack like spirit thorns

[native sail]

Are you watching the same video as me

[native sail]

He has a fucking stream of meteors

[tall horizon]

I feel like I'm missing something, where does mana regen come from? Is the only way to get more via % increased mana regen? No flat?

[drifting saffron]

is this item good for minion necromancer build?

[native sail]

No flat

[potent warren]

im watching it, no he doesnt lol

its like 1-2 per second

[tall horizon]

So what's the % increased scaling on? Is it a % of max mana or?

[native sail]

You have a base mana regen. It scales on that

[potent warren]

btw in that video @6:10 it pops a few too many and instantly kicks him out of werebear form

okay so im hitting 5-10x as fast

[tall horizon]

Oh boy. So all the % mana regen scales on the 8 base you start with? So mana recovery really comes from skills/abilities?

[potent warren]

rofl... unusable on any fast hitting crit build

[native sail]

Yes, that's intentional.

[tall horizon]

Ok, just making sure. Mana regen as a stat seems pretty awful at the values I see it. Good to know I'll need to plan that in. Thanks!

[vital jungle]

This isn't related to LE, but does anyone know what this sound is from? i've been trying to figure it out for ages

[young prawn]

does flat fire damage affect "Fire aura"?

[waxen sundial]

how do these two affect each other

[tight jacinth]

has anyone else been seeing really bad rubber banding still?

[subtle kindle]

Doom Bringer will cast Bone Curse on arrival, putting it on cooldown.

[waxen sundial]

F

[subtle kindle]

At least, IIRC, that's how the Elemental Nova - Teleport interaction works, if Nova has a cooldown...

And it should work the same way.

[waxen sundial]

So if I cast Bone Curse prior Transplanting wont cast it

[tall horizon]

It's a spell so it should add to the base damage of the DoT

[young prawn]

awesome ty

[thorn ermine]

wait a minute, doesn't the boss of orobyss get harder when your corruption goes up? Couldn't you just farm the easier boss at lower corruption for more gazes?

[native sail]

You get gaze from the monolith boss not the Shade

[thorn ermine]

that's what I mean.

boss of the gaze of orobyss

[short yoke]

so i assume the non empowered monoliths are all the tutorial and things get real after that?

[vale vapor]

Does anyone know if spears can roll with spell affixes, or do you just have to get a lucky random purple affix?

[thorn ermine]

monolith boss ya

[native sail]

Then yeah, go ahead I suppose. It'll probably help to do that to get some early corruption but you're gonna miss out on drops on the way since it will take a bit.

[fiery heron]

damn, exalted items come with a lot of crafting potential in general, eh

[waxen sundial]

What timeline is that? Because the Shade are the ones you find throughout the mono to reset it correct?

[thorn ermine]

ya, I was just wondering because if the bosses are also easier and drop rates are the same I believe. Farming mono bosses at lower corruption better for getting the items?

the problem is stability farming is harder.

[subtle kindle]

Yep, thats what encourages people to craft on them

[native sail]

Gaze is on all monoliths.

[native sail]

Drop rates are not the same. Higher item rarity impacts boss drops.

[waxen sundial]

I believe empowered monos work the same as dungeon tiers, certain items only drop on empowered

[fiery heron]

@subtle kindle on top of the exclusive mod u mean

[waxen sundial]

Gaze is the one that resets the timeline yeah?

[thorn ermine]

what I mean is, boss at higher corruption has same drop rate as mono boss at lower corruption, right?

[native sail]

No

[native sail]

No

[thorn ermine]

oh

ok thanks, good to know lol

[native sail]

Higher item rarity impacts boss drops

You get item rarity from corruption

So higher corruption = better drop chances

[thorn ermine]

yeah I just didn't know the gaze of orobyss quest had "item rarity" modifier.

i thought only echos

[tall horizon]

For the Dragon Mage Sorcerer passive node, a spell being Fire/Cold/Lightning is based on the scaling tags right? So if I convert a spell it only counts as the converted tag?

[native sail]

It's part of the monolith

So

[thorn ermine]

o true

[waxen sundial]

Yeah

[subtle kindle]

Well, if they had low potential but the good mods, they wouldn't ever get crafted on, you'd just wait for a naturally good one to drop. The high potential means that the powerful exalted mod can be capitalised on a lot easier.

[native sail]

That's Shade of Orobyss. Gaze is the bonus corruption mechanic.

[tall horizon]

Figured, but needed a gut check. Thanks!

[waxen sundial]

Im so confused

Is Gaze the "big" boss?

Idk if ive fought gaze yet

[native sail]

You get Gaze by killing the mono boss. You then go kill a Shade after stacking Gaze from kills to get extra corruption.

Gaze is not a boss name

It's just a mechanic name

[waxen sundial]

Thats where I was confused lol

So gaze is basically just corruption

[native sail]

It's just a mechanic for extra corruption, that's it

[red inlet]

Are people powerleveling other peeps now or?

[native sail]

You can't power level

Exp gain is capped to a 10 level difference

[subtle kindle]

I mean, you can do a campaign boost by getting someone to jump you to all the quests and get your passives/idols/mastery, then get them to carry you through low monoliths to level "faster".

But that's still an involved process and isn't as fast as straight up powerlevelling.

[native sail]

Sure, I guess, but after the passives/idols your leveling rate is really no different than if you went into monos anyway. The speed is just not actually faster due to limited rates.

[red inlet]

Gotcha. Since I hear speedrunning and I am like wha?

[native sail]

Speedrunning generally forsakes the side quests

Every race I've watched people have rushed to mastery and gone in immediately when they reached End of Time

[fiery heron]

is this corruption-boss considered undead?

[native sail]

Don't think so. Shades are void enemies afaik.

[fiery heron]

thanks, makes sense

[nocturne crystal]

is arena better than monolith?

for farming

[native sail]

No

[nocturne crystal]

are they good for anything?

[native sail]

Ego. Some boss drops if you want em

[nocturne crystal]

how does that work? boss drop

i needed one unique from boss

[subtle kindle]

The arena has several bosses with unique drop tables

[fiery heron]

hm, my post-mono kinderegg wont open

[visual dove]

is there chat in offline mode? I have trouble with chat ( im in china) so im not sure

[subtle kindle]

there is but it may be a china issue im not sure

[hasty scaffold]

what is the recommended/decent corruption level for farming?

is 300 still too low?

[visual dove]

If I dont turn on my VPN chat does not work at all

[ripe storm]

Does the Fire Golem's new skill Infernal Aura replace bone shatter? Or does he use both? If so, does Bone Shatter scale with fire dmg? No info on this if you alt any of the skills

[bold summit]

Anyone know, is this a known bug with Monolith. Just finished Reign of Dragons, killed last stage, didnt unlock the next stage of monoliths. Gave the blessing, took stabilty, didnt unlock next stage

[jaunty sage]

Is there an easy way to "import" a character/skills/passives/items into a LastEpoch tool that can be shared? Other than building each item specifically

[waxen sundial]

If I had to guess Id say it replaces it.

[neat gate]

have the same thing with Fall of the Outcasts, supposed to unlock "The Black Sun" but can't access it, neither me nor my friend in duo

[barren pagoda]

Replaces

[neat gate]

did try to walk toward the stair, but nothing activates

[autumn mountain]

LFM Fresh play through on new toons. DM me if interested. Hang out in disc and clear the story together tonight.

[faint cape]

Logically you'd think it replaces. Mike wasn't so sure. Granted, he doesn't know everything.

[faint cape]

Offline characters yes at lastepochtools.com. Online no not yet

[acoustic thicket]

how do i zoom out more? pls help

[tall horizon]

Does increased mana regen scale mana you regen from skills? Say a node says you recover mana over X seconds, is that scaled?

[ripe storm]

doubt it

[tall horizon]

me too but I'm trying very hard to find a mana solution 😄

[jaunty sage]

Thanks bro! Guess I'll do it manually and find another necro player to gimme some input

[faint cape]

If it were to grant you mana regen, sure. Mana recovery is not regen

[urban summit]

brother.. there was no explosion anywhere. what is this

[bleak coral]

@native sail Do we know what the stats of the baby scorpions are?

[native sail]

Not off the top of my head. LETools may have it. You'll have to search there. I'm in the car headed to work

[bleak coral]

Thanks for the tip

[faint cape]

Explosion seems to be some default term for unnamed monster skills. It might have just punched you.

[faint cape]

As Deias said. Also I think they are your minion's minions, which makes them very hard to scale

[native sail]

Yeeeeah they're super jank

That said I do want to try a Scorpion build at some point. And a Raptor.

I have some minion gear. I could try a Raptor at some point.

[faint cape]

They are super cool pets, yeah. Someday™️

[native sail]

I've seen Raptor do some crazy damage but I have no idea how they built it.

[candid elm]

edit: as of 0.9f it's working. Well, that's unfortunate. The 0.9e update has broken the Lich passive Harvested Legions and the Bone Curse skill passive Entreat the Damned. Just no skeles at all now. Hungering Souls has a frowny face now. Maybe it's just an issue with me.

[acoustic thicket]

is there a auto loot feature?

[native sail]

No and odds are there won't be

[acoustic thicket]

wow

[faint cape]

Technically yes, you autoloot gold.

[acoustic thicket]

suprised, not even pets huh?

[faint cape]

Especially not MTX

[native sail]

EHG very deliberately wants to keep you interacting with the game.

[faint cape]

Yep, kinda just a walking simulator if you autoloot everything

[rapid bison]

I've recently unlocked Empowered Monoliths and I'm not understanding the quests. Unlike normal monoliths, you can fight the bosses without doing the first 2 quests. So what is the point of doing the quests?

[faint cape]

Not much. Tick down the enemy modifier counters.

We used to be forced to, now we can skip our chores lol

[rapid bison]

Heh, okay neat. And using them to reduce modifiers could be useful sometimes. Thanks for the answer.

[broken pivot]

Can set items get LP?

[native sail]

No

[broken pivot]

ty

[autumn plover]

whats the highest corruption level a drop is locked behind? is it worth pushing north of 300 for example

[ancient wedge]

Is ingame chat broken for anyone else? cant write anything but can read

[native sail]

I think 200 but you continue increasing for item rarity which will help get said drops.

[ripe storm]

i think you got shadow banned - after trying to type "meta slave" in general earlier today, i cant type anything

[autumn plover]

yeah im just wondering where the balance would be between efficient farming and it being too much of a pain

[native sail]

Most people find the sweet spot for good drops without being to difficult to be 300

[ancient wedge]

thing is ive only played for 2-3 days and havent written anything

[autumn plover]

how high do ppl generally push it like 1k lvl?

[ripe storm]

you didnt type Anything that got "blocked due to offensive wording" or whatever it tells you?

[ancient wedge]

yea just nothing goes through

[native sail]

Oh no that's people who really push it. I think most normal folks consider 500-600 as high.

[autumn plover]

okay

[warped relic]

what does +x to skill do? like +3 to spriggan form +2 to summon spriggan on a neck do?

[candid elm]

Gives you extra skill points you can assign in the skill specialization

[warped relic]

cool ty

[brisk cape]

@subtle kindle yo you were the one that I was talking to about my SD BD build yesterday right

peep the drop homie

[native sail]

Oh give

[brisk cape]

I NEED to find some exalted hybrid health gloves asap

which timeline drops gloves

[native sail]

Uh... Ending the Storm maybe?

[faint cape]

Exalted though. Gotta run dungeons

Sanctum

[brisk cape]

oh true good idea

[thorn ermine]

only LP2 though, KEK.

[broken pivot]

Can I only find Vilatria's staff in The Stolen Lance, or can I progress other timelines instead with still a chance for it to drop?

[brisk cape]

LP2 is all I need, just watch,

[thorn ermine]

mmm

[brisk cape]

Hybrid Health + Throwing Dmg/Dex

[faint cape]

It's a global drop

[brisk cape]

I'll take either

[native sail]

Oh right. Exalted. Fuck.

[brisk cape]

ill give a couple goes in soulfire bastion see if I cant get some exalted gloves

[faint cape]

Fair reaction considering the sketchiness of them currently lol

[broken pivot]

So the timeline is just for better chances, or only on set nodes?

[brisk cape]

certain nodes will give a unique of the TYPE of item you're looking for, not the entire timeline

[faint cape]

Specifically just the "unique or set X" nodes

[brisk cape]

do you guys try to minmax your souls in soulfire bastion?

[broken pivot]

So "A unique item" or "A set item" nodes could drop literally any item and not just timeline exclusives?

[native sail]

I do cuz I'm a nerd

[brisk cape]

"a unique item/set item" node* and there are no timeline exclusives, but there are BOSS exclusives.

[faint cape]

Not intentionally, though I am usually just lazy and set to fire

[ripe storm]

i did, in the TIER 2 version - got randomly oneshot by a necrotic ability while maxressed, at tier 2 btw... area level what.. 67??

[native sail]

Yeah they hit hard there.

[pastel pebble]

That's for smarter players

[native sail]

Solution; don't get hit

[pastel pebble]

Coward

[broken pivot]

Ok thanks y'all

[brisk cape]

also another stupid question

[ripe storm]

so what youre saying is dont build defensive stats, just pop a couple of ritalins before you log on?

[native sail]

Look my rogue may have 1900 health right now but she also has literally no defenses.

[brisk cape]

can you be stunned by a blocked hit?

[pastel pebble]

Whose fault is that?

[native sail]

EHG's for not giving me items

[faint cape]

Yeah, block is just %dr

[native sail]

Anyway. Work time. Bye bye.

[pastel pebble]

Too expensive with the shortages

[brisk cape]

sad

Bye Deias 🫶

[pastel pebble]

Have fun at work

[digital nest]

So what's the use case of Monos vs Dungeons vs Arena

[faint cape]

All have exclusive rewards. Outside of that, dungeons for exalt farming and monos for everything else

[broken pivot]

Arena seems alright as a source for dungeon keys

if you can survive

[grand raptor]

okay, i've decided on sorcerer as my season starter. how badly am i screwing myself over?

[ripe storm]

80% of all dropped gear is for primalist/sentinel, the other 3 classes share the last 20% so - i mean..

[grand raptor]

for real? the fuck?

[digital nest]

That seems dramatic, sorc is going fine for me

[ripe storm]

im only half joking - but my stash tabs speak for temselves, prima/sentinel i have 3 stash tabs full of uniques/insanely well rolled purple items, but for my class spec, im still running around in badly rolled yellows cuz Exalted minion damage bases is the rarest shit ingame apparently

[digital nest]

Mine is massively biased towards sorc rogue and primal

sorc by a good margin then the other two are fairly close

[grand raptor]

i wouldn't think they would bias it that heavily

[digital nest]

it's anecdotal coincidence probably

[ripe storm]

1.prima/sentinel
2.rogue
3.sorc
4.occultist, my class ofc

[grand raptor]

i'm just gonna pick sorc and play because i'm getting 0xp just sitting here worrying

[digital nest]

sorc is a ton of fun atm, just which I could convert black hole to lightning

[thorny panther]

hey everyone, can you get exclusive echo reward uniques from runes of ascendence?

[subtle bronze]

Does the Throne of ambition idol drop on normal??

[solar ridge]

where can i find my total shred armor effect?

[cedar light]

for forged weapons, which ailment do you think works best? I've been using armor shred since theres no cap and the swords just, well...shred with it. I was thinking maybe bleed but not sure i want to try and move points/affixes around for it? maybe just stick to shred?

[heavy crag]

Idk why sorc is so overtuned

Is just did some math, and lightning blast on single target tree, has literally 25x multiplier to damage from tree only
Thats like 6 times higher than any other tree

[echo hemlock]

Anyone ever had the issue where their game doesnt crash, you stay in the instance, but everything gets stuck, can still move around, all enemies stuck on 0 hp, can open menu, etc. and end up having to log out?

[digital nest]

If feels like every unique affix and unique item for lich is hungering souls this. hungering souls that. Where are the wandering spirits items?

[spare cedar]

how do I get the 5th blessing option to be shown to me? doing emp monos and I can pick between 4 right now

[cinder fossil]

you get the 5th option once you're at 200 corruption

[mint raft]

what are some good uniques to speed up leveling on a primalist early game?

[iron depot]

is there an intended 2 healing totem cap or is that bugged?

[true roost]

Can you chance boss drops?

[minor vigil]

No

[still wolf]

is there a known issue with the stash not showing all the tabs you have ?>

[gusty willow]

is there a good way to farm generic uniques, not targeting anything in particular , just trying to build up a collection of the "common" ones

[iron depot]

unique drop echo rewards and simply playing at highest level possible

[barren pagoda]

does anything happen if u completely fill the stability bar for monoliths?

the bar where u unlock 3 quests with stability

[digital nest]

you can do the third quest

if you beat it without dying you can unlock new timelines to do

which can have specific rewards

[rigid eagle]

Does anyone know how rare the smite on throw attack idols for sentinal are. I am struggling with not finding any by level 70

[ocean onyx]

its pretty rare. i just leveled up as ignite warpath and didnt get the fourth idol until i was lvl 91

[barren pagoda]

i found 2 35% flame wraith idols while level 30-40, now i found 0 and im 73

0 more since then*

idols are rare as fuck

[ocean onyx]

yeah, i think specific build enabling affixes are pretty rare

[inner fossil]

is there a rune of removal for a particular slot kind of thing?

The random is irritating

[mint raft]

is there a way to test max level characters on offline mode without grinding them?

[ancient wedge]

is this a choice or do i do both?

[teal sluice]

is all flat spell damage adaptive?

I don't see adaptive spell dmg tags anymore on the database but I saw them a couple days ago

[whole vortex]

Is there a way to compare a ring to the second ring slot instead of the first?

[viral swallow]

How do you unlock the 5th blessing slot displaying? (I unlocked the 4th one in empowered timeline)

[subtle bronze]

I saw someone say get 200 corruption

[safe vessel]

quick question about loot drops, i'm farming for this item and it says it drops 120+. Does that mean my corruption needs to be 121 for it to drop? or is it 120 and up?

[daring sky]

Is there any workaround for dungeons not working?

Ive been able to complete soulfire like 1 out of 5 times

[grim reef]

Whats the fastest build in game atm ? im just curious

[cursive scaffold]

Servers unplayably laggy for anyone else tonight?? It's unreal.

Me and my entire group of friends, the game is unplayable. Constant lag spikes that last for minutes at a time.

[subtle kindle]

Depends on what you mean. I would probably say that Swarmblade builds end up with the highest mobility due to having a dash and super high movespeed, there's an argument for nova sorcerers or shadow dagger bladedancers to be the fastest clear builds, and lethal mirage is probably the fastest bosser once you have gear

[native sail]

LM or Abom for fastest boss kill I'd say.

Hi I'm on break for 20ish minutes

[dry narwhal]

[bronze ocean]

Hm, looks like > 120

[strange glacier]

Does anyone know if this talent is bugged. It doesn't seem to be converting

Last Epoch only has single-conversions. So Apostasy will only convert your Static Dodge Chance, not any dynamically-added chance (assuming you're getting some Glancing Blow chance from it, and still seeing Dodge Chance, and not that it's totally bugged out - haven't touched Rogue in 0.9, but was a common misconception before)

[autumn plover]

how many corruption do u push at once usually

how many eyes do ppl stack and how much corruption does that usually dish out

[strange glacier]

I don't full understand but taking this talent or not taking it doesn't change my glancing blow chance at all.

[warm yew]

I usually stack 2-3 before deciding to reset the web, but I've seen some people stack 5-10.

[warm yew]

It might well be bugged; I'll hold out for some Rogue fans to jump in, before suggesting a bug report to the forums.

[strange glacier]

Cool thanks. As to what you said earlier, I think that means talents like this won't increase your glancing blow chance on the fly?

It's not going to turn that extra dodge you would gain from moving into GB?

[warm yew]

Sort-of; that one doesn't add Dodge dynamically, it statically increases the amount you have (it does dynamically reduce the damage you take 'while moving') so I can see the confusion given that it's not "all effects are while moving"

[strange glacier]

Oh right

[warm yew]

So it will increase your Glance chance by the amount the Dodge increased.

But, for instance, Shift used to have a node that would add dodge rating if you'd shifted Recently - that would remain Dodge, not get converted.

[strange glacier]

Like this wouldn't be converted?

[warm yew]

Correct

[strange glacier]

Gotcha

[bleak sail]

Do I transform when im going into a dungeon and entering the boss room to avoid the druid bug that wipes the bars?

[rocky swift]

why is there a blue ring around the blessing? and how do i upgrade it to the grand version? ive already completed the empowered monolith for it

[grim reef]

So when using Holy Aura, do players get 40% crit chance or ? cause im confused about this or base crit ?

[bleak sail]

That is increased crit

Base would have a + before the 40

If you press "g" in game it will open a guide, the tab called "Increased, Added & More" goes over all of it

[warm yew]

The Blue Ring is the "percentage of completion" you've found - when you find a blessing with a max roll, it'll be completely filled. And they automatically upgrade to showing you the Grand version when you find them.

It's not about completing the Empowered Monolith, but about finding the Grand Blessing (only available in the Empowered Mono)

[tranquil silo]

estimated rarity of the apathy axe? ran orobyss sooooooo many times

[rocky swift]

it says discovered here. i chose this one after completing the empowered mono but its not equipped?

[warm yew]

Moderate - I usually end up with 2-3 by the time I'm getting to 200+ corruption

[rocky swift]

do you not get it from the last quest echo?

[warm yew]

You do - when going through a monolith after the first time, there is also a button to "Keep Current" when comparing blessings - many a person has accidentally hit that after clicking on their new blessing, and been in the spot where you are. (Not saying for sure that happened, just that it's pretty common)

[grim reef]

Thanks for that !

[rocky swift]

oh damn possibily

so i have to rerun the empowered quest echo

[tranquil silo]

damn im 220 now

[warm yew]

Aye - don't worry though, it's still progress towards Corruption

[warm yew]

Don't feel too bad - I've been hunting for a Ghost Maker since they released it, and still have yet to have one drop. Like 150 hours of hunting, and nada.

[tranquil silo]

dw when we get our drops it'll be lp4

[warm yew]

First LP unique of the patch was a Falcon for me - and 3LP to boot... I can feel the big one coming.

[subtle bronze]

anyobdy know if the throne of ambition can drop on normal as well? or only Emp

[dense remnant]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/timeline/the_stolen_lance normal as well, but farm it on empowered, cus better drop rate

[subtle bronze]

Yeahhh im going to norm...lol 15+ on Empowered and nada...

[mental shoal]

For paladin passives, the node Righteous Firebrand gives extra fire damage if you cast a spell recently. Anyone know for sure if that works on procced casts or manual casts only?

[edgy mural]

Anyone have any suggestions on how to feel tanky as mage? Maybe I just don't understand ward and need more ward retention or something, but I feel like I fall over on it compared to some other classes i've tried

[copper fable]

imo mage has very specific defensive set ups vs other classes. it has no special defenses other then ward, which if you are not spell blade, is kinda not there either.

you want to play around flameward, its broken but limited use.

[edgy mural]

By play around you mean, Cooldown reduction or more like not walking up to a pack unless it's up?

[copper fable]

you can walk up to packs if its not up, but just be always ready to use it.

you cant sit around and wait for it, but just make sure to time it well. its a massive defensive boon

other then that, you are not strictly wrong. Mage builds tend to use specific uniques to solve the lack of strong passive tree defenses.

[polar holly]

how do i get my character to be more tanky? i have 3.5k def, capped res, 100% crit avoidance, 1.5k hp but everytime i do arena champion, it's a coinflip whether i get one shot or not

[sage sigil]

when farming for specific unique in the monolith, it is the lvl on the monolith map that matter or is the lvl of the echos? since when your corruption goes up the lvl of the echo also goes up to

[copper fable]

the area level is what matters, but if you have empowered do them farming on normal gives significantly less items

[sage sigil]

have empowered, just low on some resist and nice to duble up on trying to farm better gear and unique target farming

[copper fable]

how low of resists we talkin

resistances are not number 1 priority in defenses imo

[sage sigil]

elemetals are caped,phys 4% poison 0, necrotic 0 and void is capped

[marsh radish]

guys is there a way to get this buff automatically

[copper fable]

Yeah you should just go farm empowered you will find more loot, and thus get the resistances capped faster

also the "target farm" unique nodes are basically non existent in normal monos vs empowered

its pretty much always suggested that aslong as you are not dying, to do empowered

otherwise you are getting much less loot

[sage sigil]

ok, spent 3 days on my acolyte trying to farm aaron's will without any luck in empowered and was thinking of trying to farm the maw on my sentinel at the sameitme as aarons will

[copper fable]

I think maw requires 50 corruption minimum

But yeah thats gonna be a grind, as far as I know aaron's will is quite rare

[sage sigil]

thta ii kno, just wanted faster and safer clearing

but if the drop chance on normal vs emopwered is huge i mightaswell just aim for aarons will before the maw

[vagrant wigeon]

Is there seriously no way to Lagon back from town?

[copper fable]

yeah so basically if you notice when doing echos there is a little rarity/exp buff value where the monster mods are

[sterile widget]

You have to go from the temple waypoint.

[copper fable]

corruption gives half as much as its value in rarity. so at baseline 100 which is empowered you get 50% rarity just by default

[vagrant wigeon]

Terrible

[copper fable]

At most even if you farmed out full 50 corruption on a normal timeline you would have about half the rarity

[sterile widget]

[sage sigil]

okey, tnx for info

[languid knot]

Fulminating Caw in Storm Crows gives my minions 150% of my lightning dmg, but it doesn't seem to increase the minion lightning dmg in the minion stats tab, does it just not show there?

[copper fable]

yeah the character sheet only shows global bonuses

anything that is specific to one minion wont show up

[languid knot]

ah, i see.

"DiceDragon"? That name is familiar.. u a famous theorycrafter from PoE?

[copper fable]

Famous? No. I would get mad on reddit sometimes. But yeah im a PoE player.

I was more popular in Dungeon Fighter tho.

[languid knot]

Ah, I played both, prob why I remember your name.. 😅

[copper fable]

haha yeah. Lots of old school dfo players play ARPGs

[languid knot]

DFO is an ARPG imo.

[copper fable]

oh well yeah, I guess "Diablo like" is a better term

👍

[mental shoal]

only about as far as a hot dog counts as a sandwich, but there's some ressemblence.

[edgy mural]

So what should i be looking for defensivewise to feel comfortable in empowered monoliths? I've got max resists, 1750 armor which I guess amounts to 34%, 45% endurance, 1400 hp as cold dot bear. and it feels like i get absolutely destroyed by half the monsters in em

[languid knot]

you got crit avoidance capped?

[edgy mural]

says 99% but i feel like I've seen it at 130% before, so i want to say yes but I'm not exactly sure where all the pieces come from

[copper fable]

You should be fine tbh. You could try reading modifiers closer

a big thing once you are starting to be in content that is challenging for your gear, reading the mods you put on monsters becomes important

giving monsters 200% inc ele damage means taking triple damage from fire birds

So its wise to try and read modifiers and avoid really dangerous ones like inc damage

[edgy mural]

So if there's a node I want with some dangerous mods, is it best to just skip it or is there some way to have the other mods wear off so that i can do it ?

[copper fable]

the mod will list what it gives you when you are reading about it, if you want the reward you have to do it obviously. but if oyu are traveling to another reward and there is two paths there, but one has bad mods and you dont care about the rewards of the travel nodes you might opt to take a longer round about to get to the one you want if it means you dont have big damage mods

[edgy mural]

ah that makes sense

[copper fable]

mods last a number of echos before running out, the number increases the farther from the center of the web, iirc 5 or 6 is the max duration

[elfin surge]

Should I go in monos at level 43?

[edgy mural]

yeah... why do those fire birds do sooo much more damage than any other monster it feels like

[true timber]

Is it possible to convert Shield Throw to void dmg?

[edgy mural]

they're probably responsible for like 60% of my deaths lol

[copper fable]

the fire birds are yeah really strong. they telegraph so dont stand in them. but yes they are annoying especially with speeds like frenzy or enrage etc.

[edgy mural]

feels like i get animation locked a lot but guess i could just be more careful

[flat granite]

Does anyone have a Forge Guard they can test something out for me with

[brisk cape]

DICE?

@copper fable

nice to see u pal :)

WAIT AND SHERIFF?

@languid knot

HAHA

all my friends have come together..

[copper fable]

loool

[brisk cape]

legit so funny

I know you both from different places but somehow you know eachother too

what build are you playing Dice?

[zenith hound]

Does detonating arrow not kinda override Flurry or Puncture? They all seem to be primary damage dealer skills

[brisk cape]

not sure what you're asking necessarily, they are all viable skills as primary damage dealers as you suggest

[copper fable]

im a reroll andy so all of them

[brisk cape]

what's your fav so far?

I just got the game a couple days ago, still on my first character.

[zenith hound]

It seems like usually the masteries containt the class defining skill

[dry narwhal]

depends on what you wanna play

[brisk cape]

not necessarily, it's just more options. play whatever skill you like.

[dry narwhal]

you dont have to play the mastery skill

[brisk cape]

the mastery skill for my spec was really awful imo, so I don't use it.

[dry narwhal]

like yeah the mastery skill is usually thematic but not required

[ocean onyx]

Is there a way to shred void resistance (like shock)?

[copper fable]

I play mostly acolytes/primalist/sentinel. Rogue/Mage too needy for my tastes.

[brisk cape]

void penetration kind of

[dry narwhal]

black sun mono blesing

[brisk cape]

im playing shadow daggers rogue, pretty fun

[ocean onyx]

Oh nice ty

[brisk cape]

just got shafted on a LP for my dagger though, kinda bummed about it

lost a 50/50 pretty much

[languid knot]

i mean, u re-enter zones to farm them, and its basically a hack n' slash/beat-em-up. so aside from the mmo aspect, it's rather close. and these days most ARPGs ARE mmos too.

[brisk cape]

you not interested in artist sheriff?

[languid knot]

nope.

[brisk cape]

I haven't logged in loa for 4 months or so

[languid knot]

nearly a year for me.

[brisk cape]

damn really?

[languid knot]

didnt even do vykas.

[brisk cape]

huh it feels like we were playing yesterday tbh

[languid knot]

indeed..

[brisk cape]

I remember asking you a bunch of noob shit when I was sailing between islands

[languid knot]

lol

Now I'm the noob here. 😛

[brisk cape]

Nah I got the game like 2 days ago lmao

[dry narwhal]

thats what the discord is for 🙂

[languid knot]

I miss islands though.. that was the most fun content in Lost Ark, imo.

[brisk cape]

gamin tho

yeah there's been a ton of helpful people in here

Tyurik and Deias namely

[dry narwhal]

i haven't played LE with her yet

[brisk cape]

I swear every time I wake up and get on, she's in discord answering the same questions I saw yesterday

patience of a saint or something

[dry narwhal]

oh we get pissy too

just not out loud

[brisk cape]

lol, save face

[dry narwhal]

well...i have less patience for smartassery.

[brisk cape]

the Lagon portal bug was so common I actually had a notepad open with a copy-paste for the solution

[dry narwhal]

ill admit ive snapped out before but whatever.

im just a community member who wants to help, i can get cranky somedays

[brisk cape]

fair

[dry narwhal]

honestly this chat is much easier to hang out in than the general chat

[brisk cape]

is there a place I can see my armor shred effectiveness?

its not in damage or other tab on the character sheet

[dry narwhal]

char sheet is notoriously bad

it'll get a revamp at some point im sure but for now math i guess

[brisk cape]

damn

still salty about failing the LP for my dagger

so sad

[dry narwhal]

it do be like that

[crude flame]

So do some minions just not move when you're moving only when standing still? They cant become aggressive like POE where they will go for targets before you're there they will just follow your commands / stay in your area?

[brisk cape]

I need bastion to drop or come to me through ascendance so I can start farming dagger LPs

[dry narwhal]

im trying to understand your wording ark

[crude flame]

should help out

Like this crackhead was just running erractically until I stopped moving then he began to 1 shot everything

[dry narwhal]

my solution for minion ai is putting minion targeting on my back mouse button

[crude flame]

minion targetting?

[dry narwhal]

ya its a button you can assign

its on A by default

[crude flame]

Jesus christ theres a minion attack command

[dry narwhal]

its like fairly far down so its easy to miss

[crude flame]

oh yeah this is nuts

3000x better

[scenic matrix]

Anyone knows how this node works?
Does it buff normal rive 3 by 5%, AND THEN echo by 15%?

IE Rive 3 deals 100(1.05)=105 damage, Echo Rive 3 = 105(1.15) =120.75 damage

OR is it

Rive 3 deals 100(1.05)=105 damage, Echo Rive 3 = 100(1.15) = 115

[crude flame]

its like attack move but with the minion lol

[dry narwhal]

yeah so on minion builds i just always have it ready

[brisk cape]

the effect of the node is tripled for echoes, so option 1

I think

[dry narwhal]

My FG usually doesnt need it though amazingly

[crude flame]

I've played like 2 minion builds and never knew about this lmao

Actually op

[brisk cape]

honestly takin a guess though, might be a better question for #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs

[scenic matrix]

[crude flame]

Now he just shreds them

[dry narwhal]

never tried the archmage node

[scenic matrix]

Im torn between that node and this tbh

[bold bone]

Is there any chance there is a good place to target farm Staves?

[brisk cape]

isnt this just an avg of 5%? lol

unless you have other passives for every third strike

[crude flame]

Well basically someone I know was doing this build but with 5 mages so I just did it with another build that gigachads your 1 minion; he has 100% crit and heals 15% max hp per crit so its just crazy I have no gear at all and thats the dmg already im level 54 lol

[dry narwhal]

Stolen Lance timeline is Caster uniques

[bold bone]

ty

[dry narwhal]

lol

[crude flame]

you just dread + infernal the archmage and he just degens rapidly but he heals like 300% hp per crit

[scenic matrix]

Yea but Im using guaranteed crit on 3rd strike of rive and never crit on 1 and 2 so it makes a difference

[crude flame]

with 100% crit

[brisk cape]

I would absolutely go third strike more damage then

[crude flame]

my only problem was he degens so hard if hes not hitting and as you saw in my clip the guy was running around like a but attack move solves this

[dry narwhal]

bring back rive's void tag :c

[sonic kraken]

What's like the most cursed build that you guys can think of that works surprisingly well?

[dry narwhal]

totem pop is up there for me

[brisk cape]

alright im headin to bed, later yall

[scenic matrix]

Dev just confirmed, so the 3rd strike node is better, i hope my monke brain math is correct

Goodnight

[brisk cape]

yeah third strike node for sure

[bold bone]

do minions u get from pylons get your minion stats?

[sonic kraken]

You mean the beetle from shrines?

[bold bone]

aye and the bees

[dry narwhal]

i believe they were nerfed specifically to not

nerfed like a long time ago

ice beetles opop

[sonic kraken]

Pretty sure that they have their own stats. Otherwise they would be relatively useless for non-minion builds

[bold bone]

just curious cos i dont actually have minion stats just thought it would be funny for like a necro or something

[dry narwhal]

too good

[bold bone]

<---me big bear smash!

[sonic kraken]

I mean they are temporary anyway so even if they scaled I doubt that it would be insane

[dry narwhal]

im no sure if its a timer or a health bar

never timed them

[sonic kraken]

I think that they're on a timer or until they die whichever happens first

But yeah they last for quite a while

Yep Mike just confirmed that they are indeed on a timer

[native tinsel]

does anyone know what the 1% more damage per stack on the ocearon ring scales off of?

nvm

[sonic kraken]

I'm assuming that it multiplies the damage for each stack of elemental ailments applied to the enemy

[native tinsel]

so it wouldn't count things like armor shred then?
