Kinda enjoy walking them to travel between monoliths

[unique magnet]

I think you still need to do the quests for them

[sterile widget]

You can do the standard version of the mono and I think it will let you. I feel similarly 🙂

[minor vigil]

you can sitll unlock the alternate paths in empowered

[last current]

Is it just by switching back to non-empowered or specifically doing the new empowered quests will unlock them?

[cyan dune]

can i use rune of ascendance on any catalyst to get chronicle of the damned?

[dry narwhal]

yes

[minor vigil]

you dont have to switch back, just do the relevant quest echoes in empowered

like you can just do the boss in fall of the outcasts for example

(im not sure how it works exactly in ending the storm but id imagine youd always need to do the second echo to unlock fall of the empire)

[rancid verge]

Can shurikens ricochet if you have the shield version?

[night flame]

Does anyone know why the minion skills are not showing the DPS?

[tall mulch]

How can I claim the backpack cosmetic? I've had the game well before the update but I'm not sure how to claim it

[native sail]

https://portal.lastepoch.com/claim-backpack

[night flame]

Go to the webpage

[tall mulch]

ah thank you

[rancid verge]

can I make umbral blades with the bladestorm version go where i click or is it always gonna go to the edge of my screen

[native sail]

You need a specific node in the skill tree for targeted throws

[rancid verge]

I see one that makes them target when they return

but not on throw

I guess the homing node will help too

[rancid verge]

My reading comprehension skills need some work apparently

thanks for helping even though i was just being a dumbass

skill feels great now that I fixed that

[unique magnet]

does flat damage of a specific type only apply to the skills of the corresponding type? meaning, if I have flat spell cold damage but my skill does fire, will it add?

[rancid verge]

it will

I wish it would show in the tooltip but you might be able to kinda tell by the dps

[unique magnet]

cool. I guess the downside is that it doesn't get modified by the type bonuses, but otherwise good if you're stacking generic bonuses

[unique magnet]

ya it's a game changer

I also started using the 1 shadow on shift to throw an extra one, and the one on shadow despawn

[rancid verge]

yeah i think my build will do that

but im super low still

[unique magnet]

are you poison/bleed?

[rancid verge]

im gonna be scaling the shadow blade thingie

the thing that procs from a bunch of skills

after 4 stacks it does a massive crit

even now I can see it working

[unique magnet]

ohh I wanted to do a build around it too

[rancid verge]

its actually nuts how fast im killing miniboss type dudes

I just did the void amalgamam thing that the cultists turn into and it was the easiest thing ive done

[dry narwhal]

yeah and think thats nerfed shadow daggers

[ancient drift]

i am stuck with dragonsong now no dps and defences lol

[cold marsh]

I’m bad at looking at the specs and I’m wondering, if my friends 2016 asus gaming laptop with 8 gb ram (only thing I know for sure) could run the game well? And more so including being ran in a separate 1920 screen attached to it. Thank you 😊

[bleak coral]

@native sail Do we know what this little dial thing is when you get a lot of ward? I see it shoot to the left when I gain a lot of ward and then slowly move to the right as it dissipates.

[native sail]

One tick = one full health pool worth of ward

[bleak coral]

ooooooooooh

[fluid cedar]

Question for theory crafting nerds:
Is there a mechanic/affix to convert cast speed into attack speed? For sorcerer mainly.

[bleak coral]

Does that have an effect on gameplay or is it purely visual?

[native sail]

It's just visual so you can look at it and go "I have 12 health pools worth of ward "

[bleak coral]

[inner sparrow]

anyone can help me kill the void boss to reset my timeline , he's 58 but he's owning me hard

[native sail]

I would if I was on but I am playing a different game with a friend :P

[ancient drift]

i can

[oblique canyon]

Im somewhat new to this game but loving it so far, have a question tho. I just respec’d all my spells and changed all my equipment to a new build, and I am in the middle-late campaign (slightly into the divine era). Where is safe for me to farm exp for my skills and get the new gear I need without getting decimated?

[rancid verge]

is deias just the goat of answering questions here

[ancient drift]

i would just farm mono

[inner sparrow]

i just msged you avoidness , thank you

[native sail]

I just try to help people

[dry narwhal]

same

[rancid verge]

its insane how easy killing things got respeccing from cinder strike into umbral blades/targeted bladestorms with shadow daggers

[dry narwhal]

you went from a skill that is kinda bad til way later to one of the best skils in the game

[native sail]

The fact that crit Umbral is still insane is funny to me

[dry narwhal]

the fact that umbral still exists as a valid skill is funny to me

[native sail]

Ailment got butchered, SD Umbral is kinda eh now, but just pure crit UB is fuckin nuts

[dry narwhal]

you can get SD from a lot more than just umbral

[native sail]

Yeah I know, I'm just talking purely UB here

[dry narwhal]

i guess

never played SD before .9

barely played BD tbh

[native sail]

SD was... kinda broken

[dry narwhal]

oh i'm well aware

i just never got around to it cause i didn't like BD

[rancid verge]

I wonder if Ill be able to beat a mono as soon as I get to end of time

probably if im very careful

[small sierra]

any build have good clear?

umbral blades good but

ehh

[rancid verge]

This is by far the easies cult camp through end of time portion of the campaign ive ever done

also why do you need clear in this game you just have to kill the mono boss

and the actual bosses

[teal isle]

Does this not work with quicksilver coil?

Cant really tell if its working, but no icon pops up

By this I mean the haste duration refresh

[dry narwhal]

i've heard it's bugged

[teal isle]

Ah darn thanks though

Quicksilver coil probably still worth it though uh

huh*

[dry narwhal]

yeah

[ancient cobalt]

if you're a build that uses poison damage, and you keep stacking poison damage, is there a point when you start to get a diminishing return? like im at 318%, am i chill to keep stacking that? or should i add spell damage, which is at like 160%. how would i know which would be more worthwhile

[teal isle]

Both will have equal value, but spell damage also makes the spell that applies poison do more damage

If your spell doesnt really do much damage then the two are the same

Though getting more chance to poison might have more value than stacking %damage

[strong steeple]

what's the best way to find a party? is there a dedicated channel I'm missing by chance?

[dry narwhal]

#👥┃lfg right above this one

[ancient cobalt]

my build has several different damage sources, so its can be tough trying to figure out which would be the best affix to put on, thankyou!

[dry narwhal]

or in game looking for group

[strong steeple]

ah ok, thought that may be it but wasn't 100% lol

[faint cape]

The poison ailment does not deal spell damage, so that won't help it

[dry narwhal]

but dont be surprised if you dont get anybody

the game just actually runs worse in mp

[ancient cobalt]

Well ultimately im playing a damage over time build, which is what im stacking most of, but i also scale from necroticic damage, poison damage, and spell damage. so trying to pick which one would be most impactful can be tough

[strong steeple]

Haven't really played a game like this since Diablo II. I tried the D4 beta this weekend. Then heard of this - played for about an hour so far and I'm liking it

[faint cape]

also, all increased damage sources are added up in the end, so the name it is called doesn't matter as long as it applies

[strong steeple]

was hoping to be able to find a group of newer players who'd like to join up

[ancient cobalt]

https://i.imgur.com/pDe0II3.png

i ended up going with spell damage, end result

not a great base, but everything else on it is pretty deadly

[faint cape]

Gotcha, yeah if the bulk of your damage doesn't come from poison/damned stacks, spell is a good pick

[ancient cobalt]

ultimately, im stacking as much damage over time as i can physically get, then secondarily adding in poison/damned damage etc

[teal isle]

For amulet prefixes i think area of area skills kind of shines

but if your skill doesnt really use area then ofc its ded

[ancient cobalt]

a couple of my skills do, a couple dont, so i havent been to big on it

[teal isle]

yea i had the same thing when i was playing bleed hammers

[ancient cobalt]

a lot of my damage comes out from spirit plague (acolyte)

[teal isle]

I think area in LE is like

Pre area nerf poe

Wait nvm I take that back lol

[plush kiln]

at what point do you unlock mastery/subclasses?

[faint cape]

Chapter 4, about level 25

[stone granite]

Part of the campaign, just keep playing

[last current]

Is there a limit to how much stability I can store in a monolith or can I mindlessly run for a few hours, accumulate 3000+ stability, and run blessing rolls a few times?

[cyan dune]

is this good for anything first LP drop for me

[candid sedge]

can i leave echos and come back where i left off?>

[small sierra]

would a fire mage and ice mage work together?

say pure fire and convert to fire

and ice convert to ice

[stone granite]

You cannot leave in the middle of an echo, you have one chance to beat it

Monoliths do not reset when you leave

[candid sedge]

what about when im in the stash area of an echo

[stone granite]

You mean 2 people playing together?

[candid sedge]

is that the monolith

[stone granite]

that's the monolith, the echo is the individual map you do

[faint cape]

I believe you can store exactly enough to run the boss twice

[dry narwhal]

@uncut acorn talk here not the dev chat.

mike does not need to log back to this discord to see all that conversation and miss questions.

[mild geyser]

so I think I finished the campaign. ||Apophis ran away.|| I am in the monolith I guess? with a huge web of epoch maps I can run?

Is this a little like greater rifts in D3?

[dry narwhal]

campaign done for you yes

i kinda describe it like a halfway between rifts from d3 and maps from poe

[inner sparrow]

anyone has a nice build to recommend

[mild geyser]

ok cool. I barely played POE. hated it.

[dry narwhal]

cause they still have modifiers but you can just keep going

[mild geyser]

so I am level 60. should I just grind and clear epochs for now?

[dry narwhal]

yeah clear through the monos

the right side of monos give stat buffs, the left gives drop rates

you'll understand that probably once you finish fall of the outcasts

[mild geyser]

I just did the first quest. to rescue some outcasts. stability is up to 140

[dry narwhal]

yeah so your goal is to do the 3 quests and move on to the next

hint: dont skip the ghosts dialogue and pick the 66 option

you'll thank me later lol

[bitter moon]

alright guys gonna be tryin a new character now

who am i playin?

[dry narwhal]

i mean that is a very broad answer

same to you owen lol

idk what you've already played

[bitter moon]

no theres 4 characters to choose from

rogue

heres lets do that instead

new character

[vernal venture]

New player here...trying to join friends match in multiplayer and game just hangs in loading screen. I dont know if there is anything i can do to fix this?

[dry narwhal]

honestly i just go to lastepochtools and look through the builds to get inspiration

[mild geyser]

nice tip 🙂

And reason to pick any specific epochs?

[candid summit]

If you use rune of ascendance, are you able to roll LP?

[dry narwhal]

yes

[candid summit]

any factors that affect it?

[dry narwhal]

i've heard it's lower and it's not lower chances

it's not really clear at the moment

[candid summit]

ooh ok

[dry narwhal]

but yes you can get lp from a RoA item

i've gotten it a few times

[vernal venture]

Anyone else experiencing that same issue? Failure to load into friends multiplayer game 2 times in a row, hands on loading screen.

[candid summit]

that's cool, ty ty

[vernal venture]

hangs*

[dry narwhal]

yes, multiplayer is very buggy

best you can do is everybody restart the game and hope it works

[ancient drift]

Is HoA good?

[vernal venture]

ok ty tyurik

[dry narwhal]

never played HoA but its a great arena build

i've heard mono clear is interesting

[ancient drift]

in a bad way?

[dry narwhal]

i've never actually played it but @native sail has

[native sail]

It's uh.... weird

[teal isle]

What yall think, 20% unique drop rate or 60% gold drop rate?
I know it's probably uniques, but also gold is tempting cause I'm a hoarder.

[native sail]

Uniques.

[last current]

Anywhere to report racism in global?

[native sail]

!support

[ripe brook]

Need a hand? Just head on down to https://support.lastepoch.com/ for support articles or to reach out to us directly.

[teal isle]

Yeah thats what I thought has to be uniques

[native sail]

Upper right corner of that page

[dry narwhal]

take a screenshot and send it to support

[mild geyser]

What does this mean? I don't see any drop rates on the left?

[dry narwhal]

please

[last current]

Thanks!

[dry narwhal]

that is not what i meant cambios

the right side monoliths give stat boosts, the left line gives drop rate

until you get to the triangle at the top

[mild geyser]

ahhh. I dont seem to have that map yet

since I only have fall of the outcasts

[bitter moon]

question, how do some people get skills from other masteries while being mastered in one? like a paladin having volatile reversal from the void knight mastery

[native sail]

You can put points in all masteries

[dry narwhal]

you have the map, just not filled in

[native sail]

You just are limited to the first half of the ones you don't select

[bitter moon]

ohhh

thank you thats cool

[dry narwhal]

rogue, acolyte, and mage tend to mix skill trees less than sent and definitely primalist

[native sail]

BEASTMASTER TAX

[dry narwhal]

exactly

paladin tax too

gotta get sigils

[bitter moon]

the paladin build im tryna do is exactly this

thats why i was confused

[dry narwhal]

everyone puts 5 points in VK for VR

[bitter moon]

but its cool that they can mix that opens some ideas frfr

[dry narwhal]

its way too good to not

[bitter moon]

hm

fair enough!

[dry narwhal]

VR might actually be the most broken support skill

[mild geyser]

woah awesome drop. Rune of Ascendance

[dry narwhal]

GAMBA!

[bitter moon]

oh crap and i have the exotic i need for this build and i think its really good?

W

[mild geyser]

if you get a 2nd version of a set or unique, and its worse. do you just sell it? or is tehre something better to do with it? I dunno grind it for materials somehow?

[dry narwhal]

🚮

[ancient drift]

would u prefer dragonsong or HoA?

[dry narwhal]

dragonsong decoy build is funny

i need to play it again

[ancient drift]

is decoy that good?

explode too fsat for me

[dry narwhal]

with the bomb build thats the point

you get a lot of cooldown, debuff with cinderstrike and then go boom

[stone granite]

This isn't destiny, there are no exotics

[stone granite]

You can sell it or just drop it on the ground as sell values are meaningless

[flint glen]

Should I be farming for my blessings or pushing corruption?

[ripe tiger]

is it worth using that to spam bees with hivemind

[stone granite]

Blessings probably best to do first

[ripe tiger]

107% cdr for decoy

[dry narwhal]

im not in on the bee memes

i do have a hive mind though

[naive temple]

I've done some sleuthing online but haven't found an answer - sorry if this is a common question!

Does global % damage "double dip"?

Taking poison as an example, would 10% increased global damage increase both Poison Damage and Damage Over Time by 10%, resulting in an effective 20% increase?

[stone granite]

Absolutely not

If you do 100 poison damage, now you do 110.

[bitter moon]

unique

my bad

you know what i meant

[stone granite]

I had no clue what you meant

[digital nest]

Anything to try if you can't enter Lightless Arbor?

[stone granite]

Do you have a key?

[digital nest]

yes

stuck on invisible wall

trying to enter

[stone granite]

No idea never seen that

[digital nest]

this would have been my 3rd run today

[ancient drift]

i am trying to farm Mourningfrost for 2 days lmao still havent got 1 yet lmao

[naive temple]

So, just to clarify, if my character sheet goes from showing 0% Increased Poison Damage and Damage Over Time before applying a passive skill, and after it is applied the character sheet shows 10% Increased Poison Damage and Damage Over Time, the actual damage is 110%, not 121%?

[stone granite]

Your character sheet is just some interesting info that doesn't accurately tell you at all how much damage you do. If you get a passive that increases your damage 5%, it increases it 5%. There's nothing to overthink here, it's always only just 5%.

Some passives are multiplicative and therefore affect your damage differently and won't even show up in your character sheet at all

Trust that the game itself does the math for you so you don't need to worry

[plush kiln]

Any idea why there's this huge delay for changing zones in multiplayer?

[stone granite]

are you playing with others or by yourself?

[naive temple]

I'm specifically trying to evaluate a 7% poison damage node vs a 5% damage node. My main damage comes from poison.

If what you are saying is true, then the 7% node would be exclusively better. I was just confused because the 5% damage node added to both Poison Damage and Damage Over Time and was wondering if I actually got 5% in both, meaning I saw a total of 10% increased

[plush kiln]

with a friend

[stone granite]

game is laggy with friends

[stone granite]

7 is a bigger number than 5

[naive temple]

Thanks! I know how to count. I'm asking about underlying game mechanics, and apparently the character sheet is misleading, and you can not simply add your bonuses across relevant tags to get your total % increase.

Thanks for your help.

[stone granite]

Like I said, the character sheet doesn't work like that and isn't very accurate. Just trust the numbers in the passives.

[astral sail]

What's a good caster starter? Spells or totems

[stone granite]

yes

[teal isle]

@naive temple I think you do add the bonuses to get the +%, but some +%s dont show up in tooltip dps

Calculating dps is a headache though I wish they would show more damage info

A huge issue is a lot of skills not adding the base damage from tree/skill tree

For example my base lightning damage is probably 2x my base fire damage, but % fire still gives me more tooltip than % lightning

And yeah character sheet definitely omits a lot of %s from tree

[naive temple]

Now I have two conflicting community members telling me whether 5% Damage or 7% Poison Damage is better for me haha. Might need to just go test it.

If the global damage affects both DoT and Poison, then its definitely better, but as I said, might need to just test it myself

[teal isle]

Na

I agree with what revelasti said

Its 7% poison

[naive temple]

Ah alright

[teal isle]

Because all of the +%s are additive

Except from the skill tree nodes

[naive temple]

That wouldn't matter. +5% to two tags on my skill would still be larger

[teal isle]

You mean you have a skill that splits the damage between poison and something else?

In that case

Its gonna be more difficult but you can still find out for sure

[naive temple]

No, I think it's just a confusion on how the character sheet splits things.

If my primary weapon has one affix that increases Poison Damage and one affix that increases Damage Over Time, it is obvious that those would both affect my poison damage. Both of them are reflected on my character sheet as well, so if these were my only sources of damage, and each had a roll of 100% increased, I would have an effective 200% increased poison damage.

My qualm is how % Damage is shown in the sheet,

If I have 0% increased Poison Damage and 0% increased Damage Over Time, then I apply a 5% Damage passive, my character sheet increases both Poison Damage and Damage Over Time by 5%, but apparently I can not read that increase in the same way as with the two different affix example earlier.

In one example, it is safe to add the two values to get your effective increase, and in the other, it is not

[teal isle]

Ah

I see what you mean

Yea calculation is the former not the latter ofc

[naive temple]

You say "ofc", but it is not at all intuitive to me.

[teal isle]

Not saying it is

[naive temple]

The character sheet seems to be misleading

[teal isle]

Just clarifying its the former

someone gotta code a pob for last epoch

[mild geyser]

What adds more damage to a sword?

+melee void damage
+% increased void damage?

[flint glen]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/

[teal isle]

I didnt realize you can import chars w/ it

Thats pretty cool actually

[mild geyser]

import them where, for what?

[native sail]

Not available for online toons quite yet, they've got bigger things on their plate than making an API for tools

[teal isle]

Yea I just figured that out. So LHG made this utility?

[native sail]

Nope

It's made by a dude named Dammitt

[teal isle]

Oh you mean a safe file API

[mild geyser]

I dont understand why I cant add void damage to this?

or this:

[naive temple]

Void Damage is a prefix, and both of those items already have two prefixes

[mild geyser]

ahhh

[naive temple]

You could try a Scroll of Chaos to reroll one of the prefixes to void

[mild geyser]

and I noticed that removing a prefix just takes away all the forging potential anyway. which I'm boggled by. what's the point?

rune of removal seems to ruin the item anyway

[native sail]

That's just RNG

[mild geyser]

I've done it 3 times. so far its taken forging potential of 20+ all the way to 0 all 3 times

[near path]

You can use Glyph of Hope with Rune of Removal

And pray

[mild geyser]

oh wow I have 55 of those

[naive temple]

Exalted items come with ~40+ forging potential, and are probably more suited for Rune of Removal than a rare with only ~25

[mild geyser]

is there any way to make it remove a specific prefix?

[naive temple]

No, chaos is your best bet for that

[mild geyser]

I get to pick which affix to reroll with chaos? but there'are a zillion possibilities, no?

the odds of cold rerolling to void is like what, 1 in 50?

1 in 100?

[native sail]

Better than you think

There's a limited selection per weapon type

[naive temple]

No, like a dozen or two maybe.

For any individual item, sure it's not too likely. But you will have plenty of scrolls of chaos, keep doing it on good bases you drop, especially Exalted ones

[mild geyser]

I dont have any exalted items (dont even know waht that is) should I not even burn glyphs on my shit drops for now? I'm level 62

[naive temple]

Yeah not quite yet! You'll start dropping purple gear - keep an eye out for good bases, but save every one you get

[mild geyser]

oh I've found a purple item before

[naive temple]

Buying stash tabs to store / organize your exalted items is one of the biggest gold sinks in the game

And well worth, they're all great, for Legendary Item fusing

[near path]

That purple mod is an exalted mod

Meaning it's drop only

As in the tier, not the affix itself

[mild geyser]

If that t5 poison damage was void damage, that weapon would be great for me

[near path]

You can craft up to t5 on an item, T6 and t7 are drop only and make the item Exalted

Also if you remove them they're gone from that item, no way to get them back

[naive temple]

(You don't see t7 for a while)

[mild geyser]

but the poison damge is t5 and it doesnt have an up arrow so I cant reroll it can I?

[naive temple]

Correct. T5 is the max roll you can interact with in crafting

[mild geyser]

so what, I'd have to try a removal with a hope and hope it removes the poison?

[near path]

You can try to hit the item with Removal rune and pray really hard

[mild geyser]

fuck it lets go!

[near path]

[naive temple]

The big thing with purples is keeping them for Legendary crafting.

If this item isn't too appealing for you now, I would just stash it and not worry about it

[mild geyser]

BOOM!!!!!!!!

[naive temple]

lololol

[near path]

Ayyy it worked

[teal isle]

Swag

[near path]

And only 7 FP lost

[teal isle]

I hit a 1/15 chaos on my boots today feels good

[mild geyser]

no I didnt lose any

[near path]

You can work with that a bit

Oh right you didn't

Awesome

RNGesus bless

[mild geyser]

so I'm a void knight spin to win build. should I put +% void damage on my new prefix opening? yeah?

[mild geyser]

probably my only lucky roll ever and I just wasted it on some low level junk. hahaha

[teal isle]

Probably put t1 attack speed and then pump points into your new melee void

[naive temple]

I might Hope the flat personally, but I don't know much about the build!

How much % increase do you already have?

[near path]

Pretty sure that can take you into Empowered

[teal isle]

t1 leech might be better on prefix

idk either that or attack speed

[naive temple]

Is it too wild to Discover here?

[teal isle]

leech kind only needs 1 point to be good

[naive temple]

0 FP

[teal isle]

discover is alright too tbh

[mild geyser]

my survival is fine and I dont even have leech on my current weapon. so I'm thinking pure dmg

[teal isle]

yeah

[mild geyser]

what is discover?

[teal isle]

i would probably use scroll of discovery

or rune rather

[naive temple]

If you say damage, then I say Discover, then hope the flat

I figure Flat Void damage is hard to get

[mild geyser]

I dont understand what discover does

[teal isle]

it fills your affix slots with t1 affixes

no cost to fp

[near path]

Random affixes

[naive temple]

Yup, guaranteed 0 Forging Potential used, but will add an affix

[mild geyser]

ah so hope I get something good in my empty slot?

[teal isle]

yea since its free

[near path]

It could also just give you a shit affix

[mild geyser]

melee dmg leeched

[naive temple]

Nice!

[teal isle]

thats the best t1 affix

[naive temple]

I say Hope on flat void now

[teal isle]

make sure to put the glyph back

glyph of hope

[mild geyser]

I'm worried though it wont be enough to do more dmg than my current weapon

[naive temple]

Why worry?

[mild geyser]

becayse I had a % dmg and a flat dmg

[naive temple]

Crafting is easy

If its worse, so what

You have plenty of these scrolls

You gamble to get something better

[mild geyser]

ok I got void to T5. one of them was free

[naive temple]

!

[near path]

Easily better than current

[naive temple]

Chaos on a suffix?

[mild geyser]

but its an 800 dmg loss

[near path]

The flat damage alone is massive

[near path]

Put in a few levels and get the increased damage from passives up

It'll out scale

[mild geyser]

anomoly on current is 7115. switching to axe is 6300

[near path]

The what now

[near path]

Anomaly is supposed to be a buff skill

[mild geyser]

sorry warpath

no idea why I said anomoly

[naive temple]

Unequip all weapons

[mild geyser]

ok

[naive temple]

What is your % melee and % void in character sheet?

[mild geyser]

melee: 47%
void: 346%

[naive temple]

Okay, as @near path said, your current might be better now, but with ~10 passive points in % damage, the new one will easily be better

[teal isle]

Does attack speed not affect the build?

[naive temple]

Your sheet is saying your current is better because of the % melee

[mild geyser]

yes it does

[naive temple]

Ah thats a good point

[teal isle]

Yeah current weapon is gonna be better for a while then

[mild geyser]

ok that's cool

well I have 10 more FP left. try anything else?

or I can upgrade melee dmg leech or chance to shock (seems pointless)

[naive temple]

Chaos em then

[teal isle]

chaos chance to shock

leech is good youll want it at some point

[near path]

Try to get armor shred offensive, or frailty defensive

Either works

[mild geyser]

ok so chaos scroll on upgrading shock?

[teal isle]

yea

[near path]

It'll upgrade whatever it turns shock chance into

[mild geyser]

-1 FP and it turned into +all attributes

[naive temple]

Oh snap

[teal isle]

pog

[mild geyser]

keep it?

[near path]

Weird but nb

[naive temple]

Def keep

Attribute > resistance late game

[teal isle]

if your skill scales off two attributes its very good

[mild geyser]

upgrade the all attrib or the leech?

[teal isle]

still good if it scales off of 1

[naive temple]

I might hold for now

Wait to see until you start using it

[teal isle]

Its definitely attributes

Leech barely scales with tier

its like avg 8% at t1 and 10% at t2

[mild geyser]

well, hope scroll failed me. first upgrade and now 0FP. oh well 😛

but +4 all attrib

6535 dmg now. the attrib alone added 200 dmg

[naive temple]

That's massive

[mild geyser]

not to mention health, armor, etc.

so its a 600 dmg loss, but its 13->43% larger area of effect and +7.8% leech

maybe I should use it anyway. that's a lot of extra area of effect and a shitload of leech

[naive temple]

Have you tried Monoliths yet?

[mild geyser]

yeah I am in them now

[teal isle]

Yea Id use the new weapon probably

Seems like a lot of value for a little bit loss in damage

[zinc anchor]

Is "100% less bonus damage taken from critical strikes" basically the same as "100% critical strike avoidance", or is it somehow worse?

[mild geyser]

305 stability about to finish this last quest of outcasts

[naive temple]

Yeah. just run a couple. Should be apparent whether it feels better or worse

[mild geyser]

wow the crafting system seems pretty damn cool actually

did I just get bullshit lucky or is it actually pretty cool like this

the last arpg I played a lot was UNdecember and the RNG of gearing was absolutely punishing

[zinc anchor]

the crafting system IS pretty cool

fuck Undecember, they make your life miserable on purpose so you can spend more money

[teal isle]

A lot of items dont have a lot of dead mods

out of 10 times you probably can expect to be as lucky as you were 1 time

[zinc anchor]

Does anybody know the ansewr to the question I asked? 😕

[teal isle]

But even when you dont get that lucky you can still end up with a usable item

[candid edge]

is the game down on sea server guys? stuck at this screen for 5m now

[mild geyser]

you are 100% right

[teal isle]

game is up for me nvm not on sea

[mild geyser]

ok trying this axe

holy shit the Abomination dude is hard

[zinc anchor]

Is "100% less bonus damage taken from critical strikes" basically the same as "100% critical strike avoidance", or is it somehow worse?

[native sail]

It's the same

[zinc anchor]

that's what she said

[zinc anchor]

thanks so I basically don't need to worry about crit strike avoidance as long as I have a 2-handed spear 😄

[bitter moon]

is there any way to increase chance of uniques, sets, etc?

just outta curiosity

[native sail]

There's a blessing to increase unique drop rates

And corruption increases item rarity

[bitter moon]

very cool thank you!

[mild geyser]

yeah the outcasts final quest, the abomination. he wrecked me. of course I blew all my potions by the time I figured out what was happening :/

[native sail]

Ah yeah, that one has a bad bug atm where you can't pick up potions.

[mild geyser]

ok so I finished the outcasts monolith. the blessing options seem kinda shit

5% xp
+ornate idol drop rate
+huge idol drop rate

I assume xp is the best?

[sly brook]

depends

[stone granite]

I'd go exp till you hit 100

[sly brook]

if your build wants those idols, its probably better to get it

[hazy robin]

I'll choose XP.(lv62 first run)

Anyone knows how to calculate negative armour to damage taken?
Minions shred armour seems insane but not really that great when I try.

[umbral lintel]

is there a way to calculate spell crit chance on this build?https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/jAvbgP1A

if my base smite crit chance is 23% what is that after the 28% crit chance from other sources

[stone granite]

Your base is 5%, 28% is the current with all your bonuses

Increase to crit chance is an increase to that 5% base, so 100% increase just makes it 10% crit chance

[umbral lintel]

but doesnt base crit chance increase with nodes

on smite specifically

[stone granite]

If you hover over the crit chance it tells you sources, including passive

[umbral lintel]

but thats before the nodes

[stone granite]

Right so add up all those increases and multiple that base

[umbral lintel]

so base 23% on smite then all the other multipliers like the 114% etc.?

[stone granite]

Your base on smite is 13%

5+8

[umbral lintel]

javelin does +10%

sorry shouldve specify i was doing it by javelin

[stone granite]

yeah so take the base and multiply by your increases, then add that to the base

[digital nest]

Who/What it Chronostasis for? As an Exanguinous Spellblade it terrifies me

[umbral lintel]

so 463% with the cc modifiers on 23% is 106% crit chance on smite if casted by javelin

[stone granite]

You know I had a build idea for that a long time ago but now I forget

[teal isle]

chaosing wish me luck

helmet prefix lol

pog hit vitality

[acoustic thicket]

Mono echo reward for Unique / set Helmet, is it only once every mono before reset with corruption ?

[native sail]

No you can get many

[acoustic thicket]

So one Monolith can have more than one echo reward for unique / set helmet ?

[native sail]

Yes

[acoustic thicket]

Ah Okay, didn't expect can be more than one, will try later, finding for Vilatria Strom Crown is hard tho

[grand rapids]

Anybody know if this counts toward Flurry when its in channeling mode?

[digital nest]

Am I following this correctly?

Example: We have a Melee Attack with a base Attack Rate of 1, and we're wearing a weapon with a 1.2 base Attack Rate. We also have 25% increased Attack Speed. In this scenario we get 11.2(1+.25) = 1.5

1.375×1.16×(1+1.33)

3.71635 attacks per second?

[dawn otter]

Can a sentinel equip a unique relic that's been combined with a relic for a rogue? Like grimoire of souls combined with any rogue relics

[marsh radish]

guys a quick question this node gives "75% more melee crit chance" does this apply only to the flat crit chance (which is 5% )?

[dry narwhal]

yes

[digital nest]

More is odd. It's kinda explained in the game guide.

[marsh radish]

I see

so if my skill has 5% and my weapon gives 5% + 75% more i will end with 17.5%?

[digital nest]

Unsure about more. For sure for increased

[cloud lichen]

does the additional static orb created by the auxiliary capacity node consume mana?

[fervent quiver]

"more" means it is a multiplicative modifier.

If you have 5% base crit, 100% increased crit, and 75% more crit, you'll end up with 521.75=17.5% crit.

[digital nest]

Oh so it's multiplicative but applied last

[marsh radish]

you sure it applied last?

[digital nest]

This game needs a crit chance breakdown for each skill

And idk going off of what he said

[sinful vine]

Do you guys have black bars on the top and bottom of your screens at 1920x1080? I usually play on my ultrawide monitor, but I moved the game to my fullHD one, and im seeing these bars 😮

Game setting is set to proper resolution

[native sail]

Nope, mine's fine

[sinful vine]

ok so thats not normal then

ah it seems alt + enter causes this issue

[native sail]

that's interesting

[sinful vine]

i used that to move the game window to my other screen

fixed it by going true fullscreen then back to borderless window

[sick yacht]

The base type doesn't matter, but if it rolls a rogue only affix, only the rogue can use it

[sinful vine]

What decides which points are removed when you unequip a + to skills item? I'm trying to use fragment of the enigma for running monos and replace it with a better single target offhand, but the points I lose aren't the same as the one I set with the bonus. It seems to always take the same skill, and neither of them have any other nodes that depend on them.

[knotty kindle]

are there any tricks to having movement skills not desync you and get you killed ?

other than just not using them at all

[native sail]

Apparently it's one with many points that something isn't relying on.

[sinful vine]

Yea, its the most important node in my tree, so swapping to a better offhand literally reduces my dps

means it's better for me to never allocate that +1 point

[sleek sluice]

Could someone explain The Fire node of hungering souls, i see people still say to take necrotic damage on gear in builds, even tho says it doesnt gain damage from necrotic damage after taking that node,?

[stone granite]

It does exactly what it states. I have no idea why people would keep taking necrotic damage and take that node

[sleek sluice]

Alright, glad i didnt follow their footsteps then 😛

[stone granite]

It just turns hungering souls into a fireball

[sleek sluice]

But alsoo means the +(56 to 66) Spell Necrotic Damage from marina's soul wouldnt affect the hungering souls?

or am i to understand that differently

[stone granite]

adding any damage is still added

There are some items that care if you do two different damage types

so maybe the guide is using an item like that

[sleek sluice]

alright, thought maybe since it was + spell necrotic damage it was for necrotic spells tags

[stone granite]

increases to necrotic if you convert it to fire won't do anything

[sleek sluice]

thats what i asked about, so i am losing the +90 spell necrotic damage from marina when i convert to fire

these two from it

the more we talk the more i think taking that fire node is stupid, since marina is purely built around necrotic damage, even +20% Necrotic Penetration with Possess per stack of Damned on You (up to 7)

[stone granite]

Yeah the fire node doesn't work with any of that, no idea why you'd use the fire node

[sleek sluice]

yeah, starting to doubt their logic alot :p at least 4 guides i found all took fire dmg and use marina

gonna remove that fire node, should boost my single target dmg alot

since i use hungering mainly for nuke, and rip blood for aoe clear

[runic zephyr]

Can rare item echo rewards also be unique by Chance?

[stone granite]

no

[digital nest]

not that I've seen after over 100

[midnight knot]

Does the Bear Briar Thorn/Thorn Burst scale with ice thorns?

Or is it its own thing?

[untold grotto]

Hey all. I was interested in this game, especially since I played path of exile for a bit, but having to keep up with all the nerfs and just grinding your life away didn't interest me anymore.
What're the main drawpoints of the game here? Is the endgame enjoyable/what do you do? Also how does it hold up to POE/Diablo4/other ARPGs? Thanks!

[digital nest]

For me, personally, it's that everything has ridiculous skill trees

and that anything is viable

you can just start playing, pick whatever you like, and spec into it

even things that I thought sounded stupid at first

Ie my GF specialized in Shift, Smokebomb, and acid flask and did fine

All skills that would have been at the bottom of my list of expected good skills to prioritize

[untold grotto]

So basically an ARPG where literally every skill can be viable no matter what

[raw fern]

Ziz review goes through every aspect of the game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XEc9skR7MTc

[untold grotto]

And i don't need a youtube video or a spreadsheet document detailing what my leveling should be

[digital nest]

yep

[untold grotto]

Okay massive W there

[digital nest]

exactly

[sleek sluice]

I would say the endgame can feel abit lacking, not that its not wellmade, just wouldnt mind having other things todo endgame that just run Echo's but thats my opinion, but the dev seems to be quite active so i am sure plans are made to add more stuff

[untold grotto]

Will check this out

[digital nest]

you can do those things, but it's thoroughly unneeded.

[alpine patio]

After getting empowered monos, does the normal (50 corruption) count for item drops? EG if i need 50 corruption for apathys maw

[digital nest]

also, personally, I find some of the bosses to have really interesting attacks, and I enjoy the dungeon mechanics

[sleek sluice]

empowered mono starts on 100

[digital nest]

Oh the item filter, easily the best ever made, so intuitive.

[untold grotto]

Also how's the multiplayer aspect of this game? I'm trying to convince some of my friends to pick up this game or diablo 4 but diablo seemed a bit... lacking. Especially knowing how Blizzard is going to monetize the ever living shit out of it

[alpine patio]

Yes i know, but i think 100 is tough for my build atm, and normal says it adds 50, not sure if it counts on the item drop

[digital nest]

I almost exclusively play 3/4 player coop

It's fun

[untold grotto]

are there no weird connection issues/etc?

[digital nest]

You effectively get 2/3/4x the loots since you can trade stuff

Connection issues not so much

But I've had dungeons bug

sometimes monoliths lag at the beginning, both that happens in singleplayer as well

[untold grotto]

weird

In that case, next question would be does this game ever go on sale? I'm a lil tight on money right now so looking out for sales would always be great

[digital nest]

unsure

[native sail]

Yes but they have stated they're not planning any more sales until full release

[untold grotto]

ah rip

is full release going to be an increased price to like $60?

[native sail]

Nope

Sticking to $35

[untold grotto]

Oh damn

when is full release planned for?

Another year or so?

[native sail]

They want to get it out before this year ends but no guarantees

[untold grotto]

damn alr

I guess I'll wait for the full game to release but keep up with how the game's going

[digital nest]

oh, another huge w imo. The in game game has DETAILS.

[gaunt berry]

You'll likely be waiting for some time even after 1.0 for a sale. I doubt they will immediately just put it on sale.

[digital nest]

Personally I love to know how things work, and if you want to know something, it'll tell you more than you could want

[untold grotto]

So no more wiki scrolling dub

[untold grotto]

AND THE FORMULA????

[digital nest]

When I was curious about how much ward gen I needed

[untold grotto]

absolute dub

[native sail]

Game guide is great. Does need some updates though, there's a few things that aren't quite right atm

[digital nest]

This kinda stuff isn't for everyone, but I fn love it

[wary turret]

Vessel of strife still drops from t4 Julra, ya? lol 25 kills in and still hoping.

[trail ivy]

guys, I have a build in mind, werebear with automatic maelstrom, should I go dual wiled axes, 2H mace or staff?

[native sail]

Yup. 6% drop rrate iirc?

[wary turret]

Last epoch tools claims 7.4

[native sail]

That's it

I was close

[wary turret]

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-why-under256kb-peepo-pepe-discord-gif-22126250

[digital nest]

I can follow along and try not to die and toss it your way if it drops

[native sail]

If it drops for you it drops for them too

Boss drops are the same for the full party

[digital nest]

oh seriously?

I never knew that

[gaunt berry]

I keep meaning to ask... You have links? As in, useful guide links perhaps? 👀

[wary turret]

Currently out of keys, farming them inbetween each attempt. And since her beams melt my minions I assume we'd have to be REALLY in sync to avoid chaos and getting one shot.

I appreciate the sentiment though lol.

[native sail]

Haha, I mostly have links for forum posts that people ask for a lot.

[gaunt berry]

Ahhhhhh okie gotcha

🙂

[digital nest]

If I AoE, and crit 3 people, it rolls the 30% for each one right?

[gaunt berry]

Yes, I would assume so.

[digital nest]

Feels like it. Pretty invincible with enough enemies.

[gaunt berry]

That would be 3 separate hits, and hence 3 separate crits, and hence 3 rolls

[untold grotto]

Oh a question I've been meaning to ask. So uniques in POE do exist as well, which don't really... majorly change builds? Some do, but not most of them. Does that apply in LE as well?

Also how RNG is gear building?

[digital nest]

Super cool unique cuts my DPS literally in half 😦

Hm, I can convert 100% of the spell damage to melee damage with Arcane Severance

[native sail]

It's really not that RNG. Crafting is very deterministic. Gearing is pretty straightforward.

[gaunt berry]

Some uniques are build defining, others are most definitely not. Sets are mostly underperforming across the board. Much less rng gearing than poe

[digital nest]

Oh actually that change alone mostly fixed it

[native sail]

Yes these exist but so do uniques that completely change things

This one for example. Very funny.

[digital nest]

I've almost lvled my pally enough for that, I'm psyched

[untold grotto]

ok cool. absolutely hated how RNG the gear building was in POE for endgame

[wary turret]

The rng is more in the drops than in the crafting itself.

[digital nest]

Wait, is this cooldown...per enemy? Or one enemy every 2 seconds?

choosing one at random if I hit 10?

[gaunt berry]

Would my friends need the required stability to get boss loot? And more importantly could their drop roll with lp if mine doesn't? Or would they literally the same item, stats and all

[untold grotto]

I can live with that. Getting boss drops is infinitely more interesting than pressing buttons and praying to RNGesus

[digital nest]

yes

[native sail]

Yes and yes

And the final part no

[gaunt berry]

Interesting...

[wary turret]

Agree lol.

[granite helm]

does critical precision talent apply to burning daggers from cinder strike ?

same question for various "while holding a bow" talents

[wary turret]

Can you get temporal keys from arenas? Might want some variation from monos on my seemingly infinite quest to get the vessel.

[digital nest]

what tier are you doing?

[alpine patio]

not sure, first time in empowered

[wary turret]

4

[digital nest]

Also, assuming I have no additional base crit chance, I can find my % increase by dividing my listed crit chance, 11, by my base chance, 5, and I should have +220%?

[sleek sluice]

Anyone know where i can find my save game, i tried disabling cloud save and logging in to see if it saved to locally, not finding it, wanted to upload to epoch tools

[native sail]

110%

100% increased crit chance is 10% crit

[digital nest]

I see my issue lol

[alpine token]

Like many ARPG players, I'm a loot hoarder. Is there any reason to pick up all this random loot if I'm not going to use it? I was gonna sell them if nothing else but I'm not at the first town and my inventory full of blues/yellows adds up to like 1/5 the gold I've picked up off the ground.

[wary turret]

Not if you've no intention to use it. The loot filter is your friend.

[granite helm]

this game is overloaded with useless loot

[velvet sphinx]

found a squirrel helm but its only 14% bleed, owrth lvling a primalist for it?

[digital nest]

pick up only upgrades, and things you can extract shards that you want from

[wary turret]

Apparently the squirrel helm is rare from what I understand. People really enjoy the squierrels haha

[alpine token]

Gotcha. I know with PoE you can sell stuff for shards and such to use in crafting, so I just wasn't sure if there was a similar system.

[native sail]

Yup. It's like the third rarest helmet in the game.

It's reasonable because squirrels are absolutely busted

[wary turret]

You know if arena's have a decent chance if any of dropping temporal keys? Looking for variation from monos lol

[velvet sphinx]

its got +3 wolves so hopefully that caters for 14% bleed lol

[faint raven]

Quick question, from when can you start playing this game coop? Directly from the start? Thinking about buying the game to play with my gf

[native sail]

Honestly... not a clue, I've been in arena like three times.

[native sail]

Immediately.

[sterile widget]

From the first area

JINX

[faint raven]

Awesome, thnx!

[velvet sphinx]

@native sail is squirrels better than crit rip blood lich u think?

[native sail]

Squirrels are a VERY consistent boss killer, so if that's what you're looking for, probably.

[runic zephyr]

Hi I need an explanation for a Dummy. Im trying to farm an Aberrant call. So I need to go for the stolen lance timeline. But where exactly can it drop? What am I looking for? Only the unique echo reward?

[native sail]

It can drop anywhere but if you're trying to target it you focus on finding the node listed there

[proper dove]

i don't level any slower right when doing monos above my level, just not any faster cause it's capped?

[native sail]

Yea

[proper dove]

ok cool just making sure

[velvet sphinx]

+4 sacrifice chest, any big sacrifice builds or pointless skill?

[alpine token]

Any other filter options I should be setting as a noob? I'll prob add something like excluding wands/staves(playing sentinel) but otherwise, anything obvious/universal I should be filtering?

[wary turret]

Generally putting a "Hide everything" at the bottom, a "show unique/set" at the top and then dropping in what you want to see. Could include exalt/rare in the all at first, but generally rare will stop being useful for anything but shattering for shards you want.

Then gradually becoming more picky pending what you want. Potentially picking only specific bases for certain slots, limiting to a set of affixes...etc

[alpine token]

Thanks. So as I understand it, I don't need to do all side quests, just a minimum number and beyond that it's xp/gold as rewards. If that's how it works... I'm gonna tell this guy to jump in a well cause there's no way I'm helping him.

[wary turret]

Overall yeah. Press M, bottom left. You just wanna fill your 15/15 passive points and 8/8 idol slots. Beyond that there's rarely a purpose to my understanding.

[stone granite]

No, you only crit once.

[stone granite]

https://youtu.be/v1a2LRVIdgI

[warm lantern]

are dungeons bugged currently? 3rd time trying to do lightless arbor and it crashes

[alpine token]

Great video, ty

[mortal pivot]

I will give example and now my question:
Dropping this ring on tier 4 Jura have higher chance to have legendary potential?
Same with monos and some items, when I farming empowered monoliths, do i have higher chance that some specific items will have higher chance for LP? Or it is pure rng?

[wary turret]

Not sure. I heard Julra's stuff specifically always drops with 1 LP and is rare to have higher, uncertain if that's correct.

[stone granite]

T4 will not give you higher LP

The likelihood of getting 4 LP for anything is low, but the higher the "effective level" the less chance, so definitely never count on getting that at 4 LP

Think of 4 LP as winning the lotto, and honestly 3 LP is going to feel like a lotto win too

[wary turret]

Do you know if corruption boost the chance?

[stone granite]

LP isn't something you plan around, it's just chance and nice when it happens

[stone granite]

It does not

[wary turret]

That's handy, ty.

[stone granite]

Corruption gives you more opportunity

Corruption gives better loot in general, so indirectly it helps your chances... like buying more lotto tickets

[inner willow]

Guys, can items obtained from Gambling be exalted?

[wary turret]

The dungeon gambling guy yes, the other idk

[dry narwhal]

no, normal gambler is locked to level 40 items and no uniques

[stone granite]

No

Exalted literally means drop only affix

[inner willow]

Right, good point

[wary turret]

Not sure if you're excluding the Bastion gambler here or assuming the normal gambler was meant, since the Bastion gambler definitely can.

[next cape]

are there any skins in the game yet ? i think i bought a founders pack which game some currency

[teal turtle]

Any idea why quest echo is locked even though I have well over 200 stability?

[wary turret]

On regular monos you have to do the quests in order.

[rapid pebble]

is ignoring poison res still a thing? or is it better to cap it?

[stray gale]

there is nothing what i can do if i got a rollback or?

[unique magnet]

it's always going to be ideal to have it capped

[rapid pebble]

i was afraid of that 😦

[dry narwhal]

It can be held off for awhile

[rapid pebble]

i got a bastion of honor

but my rare shield is keeping me poison capped

[dry narwhal]

But eventually you will want it

[teal turtle]

Thx @wary turret I think I figured it out 😄

[runic zephyr]

Im running the first mission of the black sun monolith, and i have to defend from the cultist, but they are all dead and it seems like the quest is stuck? any advice?

[dry narwhal]

Go around the map more

[native sail]

The tracker is bugged on that one, just continue along the lower right edge of the map

[runic zephyr]

thanks

[lethal canyon]

Does impair the weak stack

[dry narwhal]

When asking questions about specific nodes, please try to include a picture of the node. I have actually no idea what that is.

[lethal canyon]

Abyssal Decay now deals damage when the enemy is hit, rather than over time. Each hit deals a portion of the full damage Abyssal Decay would have dealt over its full duration. This damage still counts as damage over time.'

[vast barn]

Hello! Is this node affected by +flat lightning/spell damage, or only % increases?

[plush river]

Is there any way to change life leech into ward gain/leech ?

[digital nest]

ward on hit is closeish

[native sail]

Technically you can get something close with Twisted Heart but it requries a necrotic or elemental spell

[plush river]

But this only converts life into ward and there are better options than that in my opinion.

But i look for something to change leech. Bc all sources (even on passives) only grant life leech. But its super useless if you play no life or ward heavy.

[native sail]

There's nothing to change leech no

And uh.... Twisted Heart is one of the most busted items in the game btw

Objectively

[wary turret]

What better options are there than the spamming with twisted heart?

[plush river]

But it only effects spells, not melee 😉

[native sail]

Not attacks

There's a difference

[plush river]

Yeah, but i look into it bc i play attacks^^

[digital nest]

Oh that would be so good if I wasn't a spellblade

[remote agate]

why are my items see trough

the text had much higher visibility before

ah, I see its because on controller thats a thing and it didnt switch back correctly

[crude jewel]

• is there a way to see constantly the tier/range of the item affixes without holding alt all the time?
• is there a way to see which buffs my minions have like from blood splatter "blood infusion" where the minions get 15% more dmg for 4 sec?

[royal summit]

is there a way to get my loot filter to mark exalted item drops on the map like they do with keys/uniques/set items

[cerulean siren]

Guys, the game is in beta, does that mean it will erase everything once the game fully release? For online

do i keep my progress for online

[dry narwhal]

Answered in general

[dry narwhal]

No.

[royal summit]

thats a shame, thanks 🙂

[stuck obsidian]

im not doing it correctly because i still see items with less than 9 combined tiers drop, any ideas as to why?

example random floor loot

[wary turret]

Do you have a "Hide all" rule below everything?

[stuck obsidian]

indeed

but only for normal and magic

do i include rares and above?

[wary turret]

Hide everything. Rules at the bottom are overridden by those above.

So generally "Hide all" then stack what you want to see on top

[stuck obsidian]

ohhhh fascinating i shall do this

thank you!

[wary turret]

https://tenor.com/view/sherlock-benedict-cumberbatch-hat-tip-greetings-smile-gif-4268618

[vast barn]

Yeah it does say Increases but flat doesnt seem to do anything? Or maybe they're just super weak in general.
Sitting at 1k% lightning spell dmg, 150% minion dmg, 200 flat dmg, and 200% from the crow tree.
and the damn thing hits for like 300 dmg

somethings not quite right

[native sail]

Flat is not increased

Increases are explicitly increases

[crude jewel]

• is there a way to see constantly the tier/range of the item affixes without holding alt all the time?
• is there a way to see which buffs my minions have like from blood splatter "blood infusion" where the minions get 15% more dmg for 4 sec?

[vast barn]

oh. sorry, reading comprehension failure. well still, that much spell dmg and it still hits like a wet noodle... Lightning bear, failure

[native sail]

You have to factor in that your increases are applying to them at a reduced rate as well

[static glacier]

bear, crow ... how should this work?

bear gets a lot of flat spelldamage per strenght ... but not for his minions

[crude flame]

is anyone even playing sorc here?

[static glacier]

crow storm swipe trigger works fine

i played this on beta and it was not stellar but "fine"

[vast barn]

yeah it works but crowstorm is like 5k dmg on a 2s cooldown

pretty damn awful

[static glacier]

crowstorm scales like hell with flat minion damage

[midnight knot]

Sorc is really strong, and has not been changed in a while. The other classes got (somewhat) recent updates and changes, thus people try em out a bit more I reckon

Aco + Primalist got some pretty big updates to their minions which is why you see loads of people talkin bout them I guess

[crude flame]

yeah but who is playing it? theres like 2 builds on youtube and sites its just lightning meteor

nothing about fireball ignite or lightning blast or disintegrate or ele nova

[midnight knot]

None of those changed in 0.9

Content creators will most likely stick to new stuff

[faint cape]

Sorc got some recent changes and several new uniques

[midnight knot]

if you just want builds, feel free to stick to what was there in 0.8, will work just fine iirc

[native sail]

The first person to kill all T4s this patch played Glacier Sorc

[cerulean siren]

Is there a way to inspect players gears?

[faint cape]

No

[ivory zenith]

Is sticking to one damage type generally better?

[native sail]

Yes

[digital nest]

what uniques should I keep an eye out for as a flame reave 0 life ward build?

[sick yacht]

Twisted heart probably and sunwreath

[digital nest]

twisted is spells not attacks unfortunately

otherwise so perfect

[neat dragon]

is this considered as discharge

[digital nest]

I have a sunwreath atm

[gritty bone]

I zoomed in on the minimap (right top corner) and the zoom out button doesnt work.. any way to fix this? 😦

[digital nest]

escape, change in settings

[gritty bone]

Not the overlay one, the little one that shows on the upper right corner

Is there a setting for that too? I couldnt find it

[unique magnet]

yup, im playing lowlife disintegrate

[sly brook]

it should be relatively easy to get 2 lp julra gloves right?

[wary turret]

Not sure.

[wary turret]

Heard 1 LP is 100% but 2+ is much rarer.

[unique magnet]

easier than most items but it'll still might take a while. rng after all

[gritty bone]

😭 never zoom in on minimap, u cant get it back again

[wary turret]

The little - not showing in the top right of the little map?

[unique magnet]

he said it doesn't work

there's probably a keybind for it

[gritty bone]

Yea, there was a +/- button and i just clicked around

[wary turret]

ah, i missed that line

[gritty bone]

Zoomed all the way in

But cant zoom out

• button doesnt work, only - works

[unique magnet]

probably fixed whenever you restart, too

[gritty bone]

I tried

Am forever nearsighted now

😂

[unique magnet]

rip. you'll have to stick to the overlay then

[gritty bone]

Yea…

[cerulean siren]

How does the INT affects minions?

[wary turret]

hover the icon and press alt

more dmg/health

[cerulean siren]

What icon?

[wary turret]

the icon of the minion

on your skill bar

[cerulean siren]

oh i see

Ty

[crude jewel]

if on my wand/weapon it says "66% increased necrotic damage" and a minion does necrotic dmg, does this apply to them too? or only if its explicit say increased minion necrotic dmg?

[minor vigil]

No

It would need to say minion

[potent solstice]

Anyone know how to get Acolyte end gear? I’ve been farming for Hours Monolites I get every class gear but mine

[crude jewel]

ok ty

[toxic lotus]

is there any way to fix long loading times in multiplayer? I have played this game sp before and i dont remember how laggy load times are between areas

its kind of killing my enjoyment a b it

[brazen kernel]

not atm, it's a server sided issue as far as i know

[sly brook]

do bosses get affected by fear?

[gritty bone]

also 😄 i got this last night

when do i use this?

do i save it for later or something

[digital nest]

45, 75, 92, 100 are the levels for the zones

sorry, tiers

But it's on the harder side

[stuck obsidian]

is there a traversal skill for any class that can blink to a certain point u can see on the screen? much like flame dash, lightning warp, frost blink from POE

[cosmic silo]

so i want to make a build that can get me to really high corruption-500-600. any suggestions?

[gritty bone]

im almost lvl 70, i read u have to do these by steps? so im safe to start the 1st tier one then? since it's lvl 45 ish? @digital nest

[digital nest]

Like primalist leap, mage teleport/focus, necro thing?

something like that, you do lose the key and leave if you die though, one key per attempt

[gritty bone]

is it single person only? or can i party with friend and have friend come along? the key dropped when we were playing together

[digital nest]

highly recommend a group

[crude jewel]

so if i have on my wand "increased dmg over time" and i cast a wraith that make a poison/bleed dot on enemy, this also would not apply for the minion/the dot? cause there is no affix for "increased minion damage over time" or at least i didnt found one?!

[digital nest]

up to 4 total

[gritty bone]

awesome, thanks

[digital nest]

and it saves multiple keys basically

also each dungeon has a unique mechanic, and if you don't use it you'll probably die

[gritty bone]

should probably look up a guide then eh?

[stuck obsidian]

yeah because right now i have transplant as my movement skill but it doesnt tp to the point if its too far away even though I see it.

[next cape]

will volatile zombie scale with spell damage/fire damage or only minion damage ?

[digital nest]

primalist leap seems to go the furthest

[minor vigil]

thats right

increased minion phys damage would work for the bleed

[crude jewel]

ah ok

i found out there is an affix for minion dmg over time but only on sword/axe and 2H spear oO

and as suffix not prefix ^^

[minor vigil]

yea minion affixes on weps are suffixes

which is actually a really good thing

[crude jewel]

i see

oh now i get what you mean with minion phys dmg; if i would want buff "every" dmg type of a wraith (physical, poison, bleed) i would need to use that affix ok

[cursive flare]

I have a category tab with 4 stash tab inside. accidentally delete the category tab, Cant find the 4 stash tabs . any1 know what todo?

[mellow dagger]

can a mage blink through debrees in dungeon like soulfire?

[alpine token]

How does Warpath work with on hit stuff?

[subtle patrol]

jusst make the tab again,may need to do it a couple times.

[runic zephyr]

how can i see how many shards a craft will cost

[minor vigil]

they all cost 1

[subtle patrol]

warning there is a bug that can cause the category tabs gto merge and not be deleted

[cursive flare]

its a bug a new category 6 apperared unnamed I deleted it, and it deleted my legends category with 4 subtabs inside. not this new category 6 cant be deleted and is not empty but cant see anything.

[subtle patrol]

use the drop down quiick tab on the side

I had this happen to me, I now have 3 category 4 tabs that are linked and 2 cant be deleted I also have 2 category 5 that did th same thing. all the items are still there

I thought I lost my whole stash when it happened

[wind comet]

hey, what does physical => cold and bleed => frostbite means ? TO me, WArcry just Stuns/Knockbacks ?

[subtle patrol]

in the skill tree when oyu specialize you can make it do damage among other things

[cursive flare]

I used the drop down, didnt work, but id I sort the empty category thing there is a sound implying there is something inside

[cursive flare]

I think its similar to mu bug. but cant recover yet

[subtle patrol]

just keep messing with it, as you can see I have 4 tabs all highlighted when it should be one, I had to keep adding tabs til my stuff apeared and stowly moved it all into one tab. It kind of sucks but they are working on fixing it

I can't use the first 4 tabs with out my stuff vanishing and doing weird things

[cursive flare]

ok, thank you very much

[subtle patrol]

even if I shuffle the tabs around it still happen so I cant move the 5th tab to the 1st spot

[cursive flare]

yea I get it. hope I can fix mine.

[mellow dagger]

what's the approx droprate of Shattered Chains from shade?

[minor vigil]

i dont have a number but it's quite rare

like under 10% for sure imo

[candid elm]

LE Tools just indicates that it's a minimum of 120 Corruption https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzBMEYA5iA

[mellow dagger]

Ye, I'm running above, just haven't seen it once with maybe 20 kills

[minor vigil]

i havent seen one since online launched either

[teal turtle]

Any point in using keys before level 100?

[minor vigil]

im not sure why you would need to save them until 100 exactly

but even low tier temporal sanctum is very good since you can craft legendaries

[shrewd sandal]

does increased % fire damage offer more dmg than increased % elemental dmg for a fire build? or is it the same thing?

[minor vigil]

1% increased fire damage does the same thing as 1% increased elemental but % fire damage stats will have higher ranges than elemental

[shrewd sandal]

ok thanks

[teal turtle]

I see. What I ment to say was should I save them for the "endgame" or use some now at level 73

[candid elm]

Sure, there's multiple tiers you can do and the keys are pretty common.

[minor vigil]

yep youll get a ton

they always provide useful upgrades no matter how strong your char is

[candid elm]

For Temporal Sanctum, the legendary craft is just limited by the area level. Example if you do the area level 55 Temporal Sanctum - the T2 one - you can craft legendaries with a required level up to 55.

[tall horizon]

For forge armor, how exactly do stats move over from gear? Like, does he double dip on minon stats or do they do nothing from his end?

[weary tangle]

Just to confirm, unlike other games, the ailments are not based on the hit of damage that causes them, but instead on the ailment and enhancements to that ailments type. So 1 fire dmg and 100 fire dmg cause the same amount of ignite dmg?

[gritty zealot]

guys, I have one question, on this descripition Your Summon Skeletons' spells and attacks deal +42 fire, cold or lightning damage. The element selected is your lowest elemental resistance. if I have all 3 elemental resistances equal, what happen?

[sacred kettle]

Hey, I'm pretty new to the game but was does legendary potential stand for exactly? I noticed sometimes it says 1-4 Potential but I'm having trouble to imagine what it means, the amount of stats it takes over? :o

[minor vigil]

thats right, ailments have a set base damage in LE

[minor vigil]

the number of affixes transfered from the donor exalted item

[mellow dagger]

It does improve from your character stats, but I don't think it gets multiplied by talents?

[elder vault]

i am newer to the game and in early monoliths.
I assume the answer is no BUT
I am looking for a specific idol. I need 4 of them. Is there a good way to farm for it meanign something that can increase my odds of it droppin g

[tall horizon]

Does it double dip though? So if I have 100% increased minion dmg it works on him b/c he's a minion, but if it's on a helm/chest/etc does he also benefit from getting those stats himself? Or does he only benefit from "my" stuff like "Increased Fire Damage"?

[zenith cape]

Quick noob question -- Leveling a second character and noticed that I have 15/15 passive point rewards and 8/8 idol slot rewards. Does that mean all the side quests will reward me with is xp and gold now?

[tall horizon]

Ok, so 100% increased minion dmg and 100% increased melee dmg would be the same for him on pieces he benefits from?

for example?

[candid elm]

Actually I don't know. I'm going to delete my previous messages

[tall horizon]

I think the last quest still gives you its point but ya

Haha, fair enough it's an odd one

[zenith cape]

the last story quest, not side quest right?

[tall horizon]

ah, yeah

[sleek sluice]

Honestly confused about hungering souls fire node :

i got over 300% more necrotic damage, yet i am losing 80k dps and noticeable lower crit hits when i remove the fire node, so the 50% hit damage is adding alot more damage than 300% necrotic? and logically the stuff from marinas shouldnt be applying to the fire version, (+spell necrotic damage) Anyone got any insights for me here? i should be doing alot higher dmg/numbers without the fire node?

[mellow dagger]

if you're talking about MA stats that boost you get multiplied by talents, stats that say minion something just get applied

but I don't know the formula additions/multiplications

[unique magnet]

flat necrotic is added and converted to fire. and "more" multipliers are A LOT better than "increased"

[mellow dagger]

Also when you summon MA weapon get snapshotted, so you can summon with just Melee dmg/Atck speed whatever else you need, then equip the weapon with +minion dmg

And you will get both

[candid elm]

Yes, there are more Passive and Idol unlock quests available than you need to cap. If you want to kill Majasa later you'll get +1 to all attributes. But you can always do that sometime later.

[sleek sluice]

hmm alright so thats why, so my necrotic spell damage is actually boosting it still?(the increase necrotic damage tha ti have 300% more of)

[unique magnet]

think about it this way. going from 500 to 800 is a 60% increment, but that's only in one type of bonus. a 50% more multiplier means a 50% increment in all bonuses

it should. even if it's not converted, which I believe it is, it'd still be added, just increased by necrotic instead of fire. it works the same way with all skills

[tall horizon]

My question is if minion stats or my stats work on him when "applied". So he gets my helm stats for example. If one helm has 10% increased minion dmg and another has 10% increased physical how does that pan out? Does he get the minion bonus from me having that stat, but also gets it again b/c it's "applied" to him or does he ignore that b/c HE doesn't have minions of his own? Similarly, the 10% increased phys doesn't help on my end, but I assume he gets it for himself when "applied"

[sleek sluice]

alright, that kinda made more sense, cause was confused

[unique magnet]

you could test with a white wand that gives spell necrotic with the base

[sleek sluice]

so fire node is always better since multiplier from the necrotic and the fire damage i have pretty much

was checking with something like this that didnt have any + flat spell only necrotic

[mellow dagger]

From my understanding and testing on dummy - 10% phys get multiplied. 10% minion just gets applied as 10%

[unique magnet]

well, you're losing penetration, other possible synergies, etc. it depends on how you build

[tall horizon]

Pretty sure since it's base conversion you won't scale the + necrotic with % fire stuff. But you will still scale it with spell % and the necrotic % will still scale that necrotic +. Still helps

[sleek sluice]

yeah i am, but even with the penetration i wasnt doing nearly as big crits but testing on dummy is abit weird, since i am not sure how penetration works on dummy

[tall horizon]

Awesome, that's what I was wondering on. Wasn't having much luck in testing Thanks!

[unique magnet]

dummies dont have resistances

unless it's the boss dummy

[tall horizon]

dummy has 0 res, so you just get bonus dmg

[sleek sluice]

logically then i should be doing at least somewhat higher crit i stacked myself wth 9 dammned and still lower hits than the fire node gave me

with the marina i mean

[mellow dagger]

Also just saying in advance - prepare to rage from how stupid MA can be and no attack command will save you... Especially interraction with that void reversal

[unique magnet]

well, 50% more dmg is pretty big. you'll have to see which route to go, if you wanna stick to necrotic for any particular bonus or interaction, or just go fire for more dmg

[sleek sluice]

yeah i use Rip blood aswell, so necrotic from my gear is boosting it too, but if i am losing a lot of single target damage for bosses due to removing fire node i guess ill have to keep, but need to test a boss twice once with and without see how the hits are

[candid elm]

The Penetration on Marina wand is for the Possess debuff - which would instead be Ignite with that fire node

[sleek sluice]

Oh

so the direct hit doesnt benefit from the penetration neither on fire and necrotic version

[candid elm]

Yeah, it's still a good wand. The extra Damned stacks will up your Death Seal explosion damage - if you've got the node over on the right side of Death Seal
