Hi! Can someone help me to figure something out? I am playing Lich and have Death Seal with Devouring Release. As far as I understand Devouring Release must provide me with autocast Hungering Souls while Death Seal in on. But there are no Hungering Souls when Seal is on. No single soul... what am I doing wrong?

I have resistances capped (yeah they're too high, still getting geared). Other than that not much which is why I'm wondering what would be best to increase survivability a bit more. The chestpiece is trading 80% of my health for more ward and I'm relying on ward generation to keep me up. Evidently, not working.
I can get better at avoiding his attacks (know to watch for the eye), but especially the claws just kinda appear on top of me especially during the second phase.

straight away i would say craft new gloves and right ring asap, your health is really low

maybe do some of the lower level and left side monos first

hm okay, I'm not used to how much health I need in LE yet. I can get some more health and armour for sure.
quasi pier
id consider using the mobility skill (forgot its name)
and skill into bone armor on it
errant radish
Transplant? Sounds like a plan
rose spruce
resistance in LE is a little different to other ARPGs too
having them capped is great, but if they're not fully capped it's not a huge deal
having more health is worth more than capping your resistances the last little bit

it comes with good defensive nodes top left
additionally there is some stuff for armor in ur passive trees

crit avoidance and endurance is usally not that important til empowered

In the end I didn't ask for a refund but I'm using the sentry, how come if I want to specialize in a full tank paladin he has one skill less than the others? is it less strong?

Sigils of Hope is one of the strongest skills that Sentinel has overall
i've not played paladin but it has some fantastic builds
rose spruce
like, this skill alone makes my damage go crazy, and it has a passive to give me a 4th sigil for even more damage
quasi pier
and ull find that ull often use a majority of basic skills and then maybe 2 from ur mastery
rose spruce
you can also access skills in the other 2 masteries even if you're a paladin too
quasi pier
yeah
only the one mastery skill is locked
u can still put points til halfway in other masteries
and get access to their skills
rose spruce
the skill system in this game is very open ended

Maybe in a few weeks I'll start playing multiplayer too, I've started here now but in other games I've always been tank and support for years, so my choice was between paladin or druid, both are good for these roles right?

rose spruce
yeah there are support builds and tanky builds, even some normal builds will have skills that benefit group members
you can also technically be a support by debuffing enemies i guess?
harsh spear
since I chose the paladin and not the druid maybe later I would go full tank with some healing skills but minor, can I reset the skills quite easily should I do something wrong?
jade dove
you will be stuck as a paladin, but you can respec your passives and skills

the only thing you can't reset is your mastery choice
your passives and skill choices can all be changed for very little cost, so try out different things

is there a penalty for dying in this game?
rose spruce
if you die in an echo you lose the completion reward
if you die to a timeline boss you lose timeline stability
if you die to orobyss you lose any Gaze stacks
other than that i don't think so unless you're hardcore, in which case you lose your character
dense root
i think you actually only lose gaze stacks if it's a shade that would increase your corruption
although obviously gaze is not particularly valuable if you're deciding not to increase corruption any more

you can safely ignore a lot of the items until you're close to the end of the campaign
to disassemble items into shards you can use a rune of shattering (you might lose shards, but it costs no forging potential) or a rune of removal (you will get all the shards, but it does 1 affix at a time and costs forging potential)
filtering out a lot of unwanted items will help you, and there are item filters on google if you're not sure how to do it

But outside of that AFAIK most people don't run it
There's other amulets I have that gives me broader crit chance if I wanna do that or helps round out my resists while giving my other stats I need
Like I am running a Void Knight smite build and the fact it lowers crit afterwards would be negative for me over all when I'd rather just go for straight crit chance bonuses. There's some ways with VK's Erasing Strike to make ir a guarenteed crit so it becomes obsolete and upsets the flow of what I'd be wanting to do
But I almost always take it when leveling early early cause it's helpful

It is true that there's a Warpath node that makes it automatically cast Smite every second while channeling. You can negate Smite's mana cost by using a staff or scepter with a "-3 mana cost of skills" implicit or prefix.

You can get "less bonus damage taken from critical hits" from 2h Spear, Axe, or Sword, which can also give "minion melee damage". The less bonus damage taken from critical hits can go up to 100% with tier 5, and is guaranteed 100% at tier 6/7, but unlike critical avoidance, it isn't useless if not capped so if you're sitting at like 90% it's still fine

I don't think so, but not certain. You can send resistance into negative amounts via penetration.
Not sure if there's soft or hard caps. I only know about the ability to push resistance into negatives.
Could be tested pretty easily on a training dummy by the arena

Resistances can go into negatives, has no limit, but greatly declines in usefulness the more you have. Like you can never do more than double damage or whatever

Isn't shred and penetration the same thing? I guess I could be wrong
Maybe try reading this thread: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/question-on-penetration-shred/30320/4
I guess I never researched the difference between shred and penetration. I decided not to use a unique weapon that had increased effect of shred since my shred is so high anyway but I never tried to test damage on a target dummy
I guess what I'm saying is I'm sure penetration has diminishing returns too, but I'm not sure how high you need to get before you start to feel that
I saw it said that shred has a cap too but AFAIK that's not true
i.e., the chart
Another thread says armor shred doesn't have a cap, but resist shred does. So I guess there's 3 separate things here. lol
there's armor shred, resist shread, and penetration. 😮

If you're new to this game... It's more of a tanky meta than most arpgs. Glass cannon will get you stonewalled.
sinful laurel
LOL so....completely naked, i do 300 crits on the dummy. full gear, i do 800 crits
explain that shit
dusky mulch
Well, imo if you want more damage, you'd have to go marksman, as it is, the little damage increase comes from dual wielding and crit multi from your tree which isn't much, going marksman with a bow would give you a bit less crit multi and a tad less crit chance but you'd be much better off damage wise for not much less survivability
dusky mulch
well then you can invest some points in the marksman tree and still be bladedancer
what
nah nah man
you could take that, it's near the beginning and you have access to it
sinful laurel
100% increased thworing damage increased?
dusky mulch
and armour shred
sinful laurel
thats nothing once you have 300-400% increased already
i have like 400% armor shred, base
increased is additive, so getting another 50% on top of 400% is a small dps increase
dusky mulch
yeh I know
sinful laurel
the only other thing in MM i would possibly take is the 35% crit avoid
but thats a LOT of points wasted just to get that
dusky mulch
But well 🤷♂️ blade dancer has a lot of melee damage increase, dual wielding allows to have 2 weapons that give melee damage and unless you use shadows, you're better off going the other way
pale salmon
anyone got a clue what even just happened?

BD is melee and throwing, wdym
dusky mulch
anyone got a clue what even just happened?
some very dark magic, that's what happened
pale salmon
it took me a little to understand what was even going on
dusky mulch
from your BD tree I see crit chance, crit multi and dual wielding damage with just some throwing damage at the start
Idk if flow interacts with umbral blades
dusky mulch
but the bleed is just a waste of points and other than attack speed
sinful laurel
crimson shrouds are for less damage taken over time
dusky mulch
yeah as I guessed as bleed is useless here
sinful laurel
there is no possible way that MM is better than BD here, im sorry. that just is
and it still doesnt help me diagnose whatever is happening
dusky mulch
flow doesn't seem to interact well with the umbral blade plan
sinful laurel
its just free 15-20% throwing speed
which i desperately need, i am starved for throwing speed
dusky mulch
it stacks up to 3 from spamming umbral blade ?
sinful laurel
yup
dusky mulch
it counts as 3 different skill ? 😮
sinful laurel
combo
dusky mulch
well damn that's cool
sinful laurel
a bunch of rogue skills do that
dusky mulch
yeah yeah, I use cinder strike
sinful laurel
yup same there
dusky mulch
I guess put 3 more points to flash of steel
dusky mulch
thing is, there isn't much damage in the umbral blade tree itself other than the scaling explosion if they stay out a while
and your tree isn't an insane amount of damage either so your gear has to pull all the weight
sinful laurel
i know, thats why there is a bunch of flat throwing damage all over gear
and im not sure what you mean my tree isnt an insane amount of damage, im taking everything i need to in BD and i still have to take a few % damage nodes in rogue
dusky mulch
you might be better off not going for explosive blades and just go recall
not sure though
and it would be less cool too
sinful laurel
then i get even less more damage scaling within the tree lol
dusky mulch
and im not sure what you mean my tree isnt an insane amount of damage, im taking...
I mean that personally, I have damage like literally everywhere
sinful laurel
and it still doesnt help me diagnose what is happening right now
dusky mulch
and it still doesnt help me diagnose what is happening right now
trying to look into possibilities to increase your damage bud
sinful laurel
i know, but its not that my damage just sucks because my build is bad
that is the point
ive been around here a long time, i have made so many builds over the years
dusky mulch
well if it's not the build then there isn't any other possibility than a bug 🤷♂️
just a sec, where is the place with the dummies to try my umbral blade ?
dusky mulch
i'll go there and check my damage on umbral blade and tell you
sinful laurel
sure, im curious
vernal seal
Even if he hits a wall sooner than my druid, I think I actually like my spellblade more still...
Hitting things in the ballpark of 100k is just too fun 😉
dusky mulch
without any prior buff, I hit for 1100 on the first hit, 2700 if crit and the explosion around 5K on crit
2K otherwise
Character is level 69
dusky mulch
with buff, I hit around 3500 K on normal hit and 9K on crit
and 12K for the explosion on crit
dusky mulch
dusky mulch
I can't quite remove it sorry :' )
sinful laurel
but that still doesnt explain my damage shortage
dusky mulch
yeah
dusky mulch
you're using edge of obscurity or not ?
sinful laurel
i took the node in sword thrower
so no i throw one single blade
with 250% MORE damage
dusky mulch
sinful laurel
yeah, this is completely backwards
dusky mulch
what do you mean ?
plush kiln
how does mastery work? Say I want to put points in both lich and necromancer for my acolyte but I want Lich to be my main mastery... What do I do when I get the option to choose a mastery? I want the passives from lich but I would like to get a spell from necromancer first. Do I need to wait till much later to unlock the second mastery or something?
sinful laurel
my % additive increases are not that much different than yours (also the tooltips are lower inherently). but look at the left side. how do you have 10x my damage
native sail

You choose Lich. You can only choose one mastery. You can put points into masteries you didn't select but only up to the halfway point.

nah, you can put points in the other mastery whenever you wanna. Lich will always be your main mastery
sinful laurel
keep in mind the right side only shows types of dmg increases, not global increases to % damage too

thanks
I didnt wanna screw it up
dusky mulch

hmm
sinful laurel
i do know my % increases are low, just the gear i have right now
i know that is lowering my damage output, but that cant explain why i get 500 damage crit hits lol
dusky mulch
I mean, crit multi goes on top at the end
having this much crit chance above 100% isn't helping you
nimble mauve
can anyone show me the "The stolen lance" timeline? i just need to know where the Rare staff is located
sinful laurel
i know, again just the gear i had
none of that helps to answer the immediate problem. ugh idfk
dusky mulch
like for my umbral blade, I get the flat throwing damage, a chunk of the bow damaeg, the throwing attack damage, the physical and fire damage for the explosion and crit if it happens
and god knows, if the umbral blade had the fire tag, it would be so much more
sinful laurel
i get all of that except the bow damage, not sure what you mean there
dusky mulch
sinful laurel
my tree is very similar to yours except i am not bladestorm, which inherently doesnt increase its damage
dusky mulch
just for having a bow, I get + all damage
sinful laurel
oh sure sure
i thought you meant in the tree
i also have gear with "% increased damage while wielding a sword"
same same
sinful laurel
a few yeah of course, i have a bunch for health
sinful laurel
got some of the nice crit multi while dw and throwing damage idols
dusky mulch
I forgot to use it when I did the damage test earlier but there's this in the smoke bomb tree
dusky mulch
on top of this ↑
sinful laurel
dont have smoke bomb

if the stats are interesting yeah, you never know
I do personally collect them so that I have a stock to look through for potential food if I get a unique with LP i'm interested in
you'll find plenty more 😄
sinful laurel
i know how to spec smoke bomb 🙂 but i wont be taking it
deep gull
When you're dual wielding, do things like "% chance to apply Bleed on hit" mods apply to hits with both weapons, or just hits with the weapon that the modifier is on?
native sail
There are not "hits with different weapons" like PoE
It just combines the stats of both weapons for every hit
deep gull
Ahh, nice, that makes it a lot easier to plan. Thanks!
native sail
No prob
native sail
Whatcha mean? I haven't been paying attention 
sinful laurel
oh i just have a massive discrepancy between stats and actual damage numbers. Like 100 flat damage, 475% crit multi, ~300-350% increased damage, ~250% more damage, and hits CRIT for 800
native sail
I mean, what level area are you in? Have you factored the DR into it?
sinful laurel
i mean im in reign of dragons or spirits of fire, non empowered
tbf i am not sure exactly how that adaptive DR works
but i thought that was protection against BIG single hits, like 500k to a million or something
native sail
Nah, adaptive DR is only a boss thing. All enemies get inherent DR based on the area level, maxes out at like fuckin 98% or some shit
sinful laurel
but how does that calculation work
because if it is taking what i *think should be like 10k single hits down to 3-500, thats reallllllly bad
and i feel like more people would be talking about it
dusky mulch
you tried your damage in the arena place against the dummies ?
if it's the same then DR has nothing to do with it
no ?
native sail
Yeah go hit the dummy a bit, that should give you a better idea. Not perfect but better.
sinful laurel
i mean it is higher but i expect it to be higher. dummy single hits are about 2k
thats still WAY lower than i think it should be
crude jewel
minion bow attack from skeletons do physical dmg? or are that "bow damage" and nodes that give my minions "increased physical dmg" does not apply to them?
sinful laurel

look at the tags for the skeletons
crude jewel
it says bow attack
sinful laurel
also says physical
native sail
thats still WAY lower than i think it should be
Chuck me all your stuff and I'll math it out 
crude jewel
but there are warriors and them do physical
sinful laurel
so increased physical damage to minions will affect them too
crude jewel
so its not 100% clear if bow also mean physical
sinful laurel
that means that % bow damage will benefit them, as weioll % physical
as will % bow physical
dusky mulch
if it doesn't specify minon, it shouldn't affect them
crude jewel
mhm ok
sinful laurel
but yes it has to be minion damage
unless you have a method of directly scaling from your own stats like rogue and sentinel
sinful laurel
figured 👍
sinful laurel
Chuck me all your stuff and I'll math it out <:YEP:938213561832996956>
lol done, if you could figure it out
i am losing my mind
all these people doing millions of damage and my umbral blades with mid gear at level 80 gets 2% damage output lol
zinc anchor
Yes, "minion physical damage" affects skeleton archer minions

You can get multiple echoes with the same kind of rewards, webs are randomly generated. That specific echo you died in will not give you anything though.

It's normal to be frustrated when it's not really obvious what's wrong and not being able to say for sure it's a bug either

Monoliths have nodes like: drops unique or set gloves
Different monos have different unique types they drop
And then there are the ones that only drop from specific boss
