Can you rub a purple 1h hammer on a unique 1h sword, or is it restricted to hammers for hammers, spears for spears etc.?

[native sail]

Restricted to same type

[urban python]

does wearing 2 siphon of anguish stack? if both are lege and have different stats on them?

[rigid copper]

Ok thank you

[crude jewel]

+% inreased rarity in monolith means higher chance for higher tier affixes?

or higher chance for rare, unique, set, exalted?

[stable tulip]

Hello guys, for crafting a legendary item with a unique 1 LP, can I use an Exalted items with just 1 affix (the exalted one) or it needs to be 4 affix exalted item?

[torn zodiac]

hey guys, i played my spellblade... got LP2 quicksilver coil, cleared 2x 90 Monoliths and got to lvl 72. I wanted to relog on my main char to do Julra for making my LP2 ring to Legendary and i couldn't found the ring in the stash. Now my Spellblade is lvl 68, the ring and few other items not there and the 2 cleared Monolith timelines gone?!

[crude jewel]

on maxroll.gg site it says 1 at least @stable tulip

[stable tulip]

this is wat it says on maxroll An Exalted item of the same type as the unique that also has two prefixes and two suffixes.

[crude jewel]

but its not certain you get on 1LP that affix

[stable tulip]

so on a 1LP you have 25% chance to get what you want

[crude jewel]

its random if you want that exact affix with 6/7 you would need 4lp

[stable tulip]

on 2 LP 50% and so on

[crude jewel]

yea right

[stable tulip]

but!!!

can you use the same legendary to recraft on it?

[crude jewel]

that i dont know i would assum no

[stable tulip]

lets say I miss can I try again on the same legendary?

[crude jewel]

but not sure on that

i guess after you craft the legendary the LP disappear which would mean you cant craft anymore

[stable tulip]

because it needs to be a unique, right?

so 25% chance, if you miss farm again

😄

[crude jewel]

[stable tulip]

I saw there are runes of crafting

that duplicat you exalted

so at less you do not need to farm the exalted again

[crude jewel]

thats why you should look out for 4LP and dont craft legendary with 1LP and only an exalt you rly rly want

[stable tulip]

Duplicates the item, but reduces the forging potential of both the original and the copy to 0. Press [F] to open the Crafting Panel.

[native sail]

4LP is extremely rare even on low level items, do not hunt 4LP

[patent mural]

yo

im at the soul gambler first time

should i put my best item to upgrade

or is there a risk?

[crude jewel]

i see

[native sail]

Soul gambler has nothing to do with upgrading items...?

[patent mural]

oh dam

feelsbad

[native sail]

There are items where you're absurdly lucky to see even 1LP

[patent mural]

man this soul gambler suckssss

[native sail]

It's pretty meh until high tiers

[stable tulip]

It was fun that you can use a Exalted with 1 affix, but then it makes it to easy 😄

[native sail]

Yeah that's why they put the restriction of it having to be 4 affixes.

[patent mural]

ahh understood

thanks

[crude jewel]

@native sail do you know monolth of fate % increased rarity means only higher chance for unique, set, exalted items or does it also include higher chance for higher affixes in general?

[native sail]

I believe it's both. I know for a fact it has the former, the latter I'm not 100% certain on

[crude jewel]

kk so testing :D

[mighty sluice]

Gday! Does Claws of the Bear (added cooldown for Swipe) also modify the bear swipe cooldown (Forceful Swipes)? It doesn't look like it from testing, but it 's hard to say exactly. I'm still at leveling and nothing lives long enough to test it on properly.

[violet vector]

hi guys, guys except Lizard, who does really good builds for extreme endgame?

[sacred kettle]

Hey, I hope you all have a wonderul day/evening
I'm a bit struggling with my Spellblade, sometimes enemies simply one shot me o:
When I read the text it said I died due to a normal physical attack while I had roughly 1K+ ward on me, maybe there is something I'm missing how resistance and armour work together with ward?

[native sail]

I think what you're experiencing there is the fact that 1k ward is really not a lot and is legitimately worse than 1k health since you can leech quicker and more consistently than you can generate ward

[sterile widget]

Hey - where are you playing? Standard monolith? Empowered? What corruption level?

[sterile widget]

Please define extreme 🙂

[sacred kettle]

Oh...that might explain why, since my build is not fully complete yet probably, I'm trying to assemble a build with gear that converts my HP to ward but I'm still missing Exsanguinous and only use Last steps of the Living right now o:
Usually it works fine but noticed bigger mobs like the Necrotic giants in Soulfire Bastion look at me and knock me out of my shoes with a melee attack @sterile widget Standart monolith atm with rougly 5-12 corruption

[native sail]

Ah, yeah, Exsang and Last Steps are really needed together to make them work fully.

[sterile widget]

Cool - how much health do you have mate?

[native sail]

Also things in Soulfire hit pretty hard

[sacred kettle]

My HP & ward look this without extra inputs

[sterile widget]

Hmm. Interesting.

Level 76 🙂

[sacred kettle]

Ahh okay, I thought I might be able to do it easily with lv 83 but got shown otherwise :o

[sterile widget]

That isn't stupidly low amount of health or anything. Like, it can be better, but it's not that far off what I have. How do you sustain your health?

[native sail]

Soulfire is really weird in how it scales. I've had a level 90+ character get nearly one shot in tier 2 because I didn't swap the shield element

[sacred kettle]

I usually buff my ward with my skills Surge + Shatterstrike and Flame ward, usually I never drop below 1K ward (unless I underestimated the damage I take or moved badly) It's usually between 1K -4K at max depending on how much I hit... My HP usually stay as they are since any auto generated health goes right in my ward o:
I hope I understood the question correctly

[sterile widget]

Yeah ok. I mean, we're playing different builds, so it's hard to do a strict comparison. How much crit avoidance do you have? That's what always gets me (I only have like 25% ish)

[sacred kettle]

I have oh.... 0 >.<

[sterile widget]

oh dear

Well, I guarantee you you'll see a survivability improvement with more of that

[sacred kettle]

Those are my defense stats

[sterile widget]

2 or 3 enemy crits in a row (particularly from the big boys) and you'll be seriously hurting

Mind you, I'm getting health on hit, leech and ward from passives

and skills

Definitely interesting to compare

[sacred kettle]

The crit avoidance makes sense tho, I should try to add a bit on my def since most of my stats went into offensive

[sterile widget]

Yeah. Your retention is quite low too given you are Ward-based

If you pump your retention up a bit, your base Ward will be substantially higher

[sacred kettle]

I add ward with freeze on top that's why I have such a mutliplier
(Sorry for posting too many pictures, just trying to find the issues o:)

[sterile widget]

hehe freeze rate big

[sacred kettle]

Will do that for sure since I'm always required to rush into groups to keep my ward up as high as possible but if I can't generate quick enough I'm done for quickly

[ivory orchid]

is this any good?

[sterile widget]

I feel that pain. If I have a slow moment, I start gettin antsy

[sterile widget]

Honestly, anything with 4LP is usually useful or good for something 🙂

(Love the nvidia rectangle)

[native sail]

Give

[sterile widget]

^

[sacred kettle]

I think 4 potential is pretty good, if I remember correctly it means it will take 4 stats of the exalted item? (Please correct me if I'm wrong)

[native sail]

You are correct

[sterile widget]

Yep - that is correct. It will take all the standard affixes (not the sealed and implciit)

So, if you can get a good exalt on it, you can go bonkers

It's low-level as well, so I think IIRC you only need to do Sanctum Tier 1 for that

[ivory orchid]

yeah but what build use that quiver?

[native sail]

Bleed HoA/Puncture.

(You kinda have to use both)

[sterile widget]

Honestly - go to your marksman skills and search Bleed 🙂

You will find stuff

You can definitely figure something viable out from there

Just give it a crack son 🙂

[sacred kettle]

Thank you both for the infos, it helped me a lot and it was nice to see some comparisons with another Spellblade build ❤️

Oh right, one more thing
I noticed in the Item Database for Exsanguinous for farming this
Does it mean it can only drop in this mono with those requirements for the echo (unique or Set body armor) or can it also drop randomly?

[native sail]

It can drop randomly, the keywords are "target farm"

[faint cape]

Target farm just is how to improve your odds, it's a global drop

[native sail]

Anything that isn't a boss drop is a random drop

[sacred kettle]

Ah okay, I wasn't sure if it meant it can only drop exclusively in this mono, that's a relief :D

[sterile widget]

🙂 Delighted to compare 🙂

[ivory orchid]

I just lost my gear wtf

[sterile widget]

Did it go transparent ?

(there's a bug)

[ivory orchid]

the Game crashed and and the and all my new gear i got wiped

[sterile widget]

Ah man - that sucks

Here's a link with instructions for how to lodge a ticket to help the team identify and resolve these sorts of data loss issues: #1088489316407328879 message

[ivory orchid]

It's like it came back from old save

[sterile widget]

Really awful mate. I'm sorry it happened to you

For what it's worth, I understand that there are a number of fixes for these sorts of issues which are in upcoming hotfixes

Obv still doesn't fix your stuff being gone now 😦

[ivory orchid]

i lost quiver 4LP

[sterile widget]

nooooooooooooo

oh man

that is ballsack

[ivory orchid]

lost 2 lvls good god

[formal stratus]

Hello guys, i played POE, Diablo3 ROS, Undecember and some other ARPG's. I like fast , map and boss killing builds.
Would you friends recommend me a build to farm items for endgame builds? Thank you.

[latent herald]

looking for friend to play with also? 😄

[formal stratus]

Surely, mostly cause of regional time difference i play solo. But definately will like to play with some community members!

[tardy needle]

hey everyone, I'm on the fence for this game for quiet some time now. Can someone help me with some questions please?

1. Can the game be played with friends / in multiplayer right away, or is there some story etc. that has to be done first?
2. Can the game be set to a really hard difficulty right away? (I don't mean permaDeath, but hard in a form of every minion beeing a threat)
3. are healing / support characters a serious / usefull thing in this game?
4. is level difference a problem in this game? (if some friends would play their characters we started together with solo too)

What I'd like to get a feeling for is, if it is possible to play this game as a group with fixed roles (tank, heal, support for example) and if the difficulty can be set in a way so this is the way to progress (instead of everyone beeing a killing machine on its own and theres no need for everyone else)

[latent herald]

1. yes
2. hardcore mode, perma death
3. idk sorry
4. idk sorry

[crude jewel]

since there exist no freeze rate multiplier for minions, does it then count also for minions that do cold damage? or only me and you cant increase it for minions?

[tardy needle]

thanks nonetheless 🙂 hardcore mode and perma death are the same thing?

[native sail]

Yes.

It isn't really permadeath anyway. Your toon gets moved to softcore and tagged as a dead HC character. You lose access to your HC stash, gold, materials, and (when it's back) leaderboards, but they don't just delete your character.

[hexed estuary]

I just unlocked empowered timelines as a lvl87 rogue. The empowered maps are a bit too tough (~50% failure). Is there a recommended grind? The 90s? Dungeons? My toon is mostly locked in — just adding my dmg nodes at this point.

[latent herald]

does the game auto equip gear or does my loot filter do that? on my second character and i dont remember this being the case for the first

[harsh spear]

Hello lads! it's still me, I have a question about the game but this time from a hardware point of view. Up to now I have played with an RTX 3070 and so far obviously good at ultra settings. I'm going away from home for two days and I discovered that I only have an old Dell with the GT 750M cideo card at the destination point (I know very well it doesn't meet the minimum requirements which are the gtx 660ti I think). putting the process priority high, all applications closed, and running the game at minimum, can I play at least 30fps somehow?

I also ask in the other developer channel maybe

[vast barn]

As a void knight, do triggered spells and attacks have a chance to Echo as well?
For example the Void Rifts created by the Locket of the Forgotten Knight amulet

[low moth]

I don't think anyone can promise you 30 fps with that setup. It's pretty much rolling a dice, but I would say, no.

[umbral crypt]

Hey all! Shield Bash's 'Kindling' seems to be a flat added 20% crit chance and NOT base crit chance right?

Because with +300% increased crit chance I should have guaranteed crits (5+20)*4 but there are plenty of hits that I don't crit or am I missing something?

[unreal wraith]

is there a negative resistance cap?

[dusky mulch]

wouldn't expect one

why ?

[unreal wraith]

wouldnt that make penetration the best dps stat?

[dusky mulch]

not better than anything else 🤔

Armor is also a thing too

and pen would be much harder to get than other offensive stats

or other useful stuff like +2s and all

[latent herald]

help i hid the UI somehow, whats the shortcut? XD

[dusky mulch]

best dps stats varies wildly depending on what your build is

[dusky mulch]

suppr

[latent herald]

ty

[dusky mulch]

👌

[dusky mulch]

for example, attack speed and crit multi and more valuable to my build than fire pen

[native sail]

Delete key

[lethal canyon]

Does werebear lightning during rampage get the rampage crit chance?

I can't figure that one out.

[harsh spear]

but a paladin with defensive and healing spells is better off using a mace or sword with physical attack than a wand or scepter right? also the spell damage doesn't affect the amount of healing, right?

[lethal canyon]

There aren't really defensive healing spells unless you're a primality. Most skills are 50/50 and have healing as a bonus similar to debuffs or good leech @harsh spear

[drowsy hamlet]

I do not understand something fundamental about crafting - As far as I can tell I've got tons of crafting materials, yet when I open the crafting window, I show as having none crafting materials. Can anyone help me understand wtf I'm missing? Would be much appreciated 🙂

[unreal wraith]

you need to transfer the materials by pressing the button

[drowsy hamlet]

OH

[dusky depot]

Big oof

[drowsy hamlet]

thank you so much haha

[unreal wraith]

i missed that also when i started

i think that got changed

[drowsy hamlet]

That wasn't mentioned in any in game or out of game guide I've seen and apparently I'm button blind so totally missed it

[harsh spear]

Uhm, and as a tank as well what should I use? i also have support skill, attack damage, spell damage on weapon?

I don't know which is better

[dusky depot]

What skill is your go-to?

[gritty flame]

Good morning, folks. Got a second Aurelis drop and a Devotion, so I have a serious question: Does the lightning conversion node for Smite also change the +% damage vs. Ignite to Electrify?

[crude jewel]

is it worth to clear a full echo map?

[dusky mulch]

echo map ?

[dusky depot]

No

[crude jewel]

monolith of fate the map called echo if i join it

[dusky mulch]

oh, yeah no

[crude jewel]

k

[dusky mulch]

you're better off getting out as soon as you do the objective to go to the next one

[crude jewel]

and for what is that stability bonus meter?

[dusky depot]

Actually, it may be if you're a pixel away from an important level up, but otherwise no

[dusky mulch]

for the quests you can see on the bar and on the left

the 3rd quest is a boss that gives you a passive

[crude jewel]

but if i want out as fast as possible would mean less stability so iam confused a bit

oh so if i want fast to the boss then its worth kk

[dusky mulch]

rewards for clearing the map are more worth it than a little bit of stability

[sick yacht]

Generally just running a second mono is faster. Kill the stuff in your way, but rush objective

[dusky mulch]

completing an echo always gives you some amount of stability, the bonus you get from killing mobs is just that, a bonus

[dusky mulch]

↑

what he said

[dusky depot]

You will do 25ish maps anyway, you'll get more bang for your buck getting the minimal rewards

[crude jewel]

i see

ty

[dusky mulch]

👌

[hot raptor]

Hi does anyone know why im unable to join into any only character? It keeps loading then telling me “Cant join game server”

[latent herald]

what to do with extra gear? can I salavge for shards or smth? or just vendor for gold?

[dusky depot]

Rune of removal and/or shattering if it has good affixes, don't pick it up if it doesn't. Selling for gold isn't worth it in general

[obsidian holly]

is this enough defences?

[gritty flame]

... No armor. Someone's gonna get slapped.

[earnest widget]

Also do you have crit avoidance? But you should be fine for normal monos with that. Empowered will prob eat you alive depending how much ward you have on top of that.

[sleek sluice]

well hes lich, so should reach 1200+ armor with reaper/death lich(deadlock) if he specs into it

[meager pier]

hey guys , corruption increased the area level ?

[dusky depot]

no

[earnest widget]

empowered monos are allways lvl 100. Corruption increased item rarity and xp gains.

[ripe tiger]

what defences

[meager pier]

i was doing some math , and armour mitigation and dodge chance, i got different numbers using formula and on the build planner

[sleek sluice]

Fine defensive to do regular, for empowered if u dont have crit avoidance i would use https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzBsEZKA to start your journey off easier until you can get the crit avoidance blessing + a t5 avoidance stat

[ripe tiger]

also get armor blessings

and much more life

[meager pier]

Like the formula in game says that if i have dodge rating equal to 10 times the area level il have 50% chance to dodge , but with 1100 dodge on planner says i have 31% , anyone know why this difference?

[keen quiver]

ok is there a config file that i can go to force controller inputs?

trying to bind B button to a different skill slot, but pressing B exits the menu lol

[twin sandal]

Hey everyone.... just bought the game and am trying to create an account however..... my e-mail is too many characters i guess? So Just can't make an account unless I make a new e-mail address?

Any workarounds?

im two characters too long 😦

[ripe tiger]

steam account?

[twin sandal]

Yes

[ripe tiger]

uhhh idk about that then

if ur emails too long for steam

[twin sandal]

it's not too long for steam. Too long for this game. First time i've had this problem in 15-20 years with this e-mail lol

[ripe tiger]

ah then probably consider emailing support somehow

[sterile widget]

!support

[ripe brook]

Anything we can help with? We've support articles and a contact form at https://support.lastepoch.com/.

[ripe tiger]

see if they can help

[lapis haven]

anyone know why smelters wrath "bolster" node isnt giving endurance threshold? neither are "foot of the mountain"

[candid elm]

Bolster sounds like it only works while charging Smelter's Wrath. If you'd like to press C to open the character sheet, go to the Defense tab, then charge Smelter's Wrath and see if it goes up. If not, please report it on the bug report forums.

[twin sandal]

@ripe tiger ended up just resurrecting an email account from 24 years ago..... guess im using a hotmail address for this game

[ripe tiger]

hotmail

[twin sandal]

its the only thing that's short enough for this game. My other email options are longer lol

[latent herald]

i am an acolyte lvl 20, when do i become necro?

[native sail]

It's a point in the story, has nothing to do with what level you are

[latent herald]

thanks, being doing side quests for a while now oops

[hot carbon]

you need to do those for your idol slots and passive points

so keep at it

[candid elm]

When you reach End of Time you can select Mastery. I'm usually in the low to mid 20s when I get there.

You can just wait to assign any more passive points until you get your Mastery, if you want to. It's also easy to respec points at the NPC with the head/brain icon in towns.

[formal stratus]

Hello guys, i played POE, Diablo3 ROS, Undecember and some other ARPG's. I like fast , map and boss killing builds.
Would you friends recommend me a build to farm items for endgame builds? Thank you.
Sorry for repeat post.

[thorn monolith]

How big of a deal are lvls? I'm 92 I think but I'm doing just mediocre in empowered. Will those 8lvls make a noticeable difference?

[candid elm]

Just a note that this game is not as zoom zoom as PoE. They've designed it that way on purpose.

Also you get a lot more class body armor, class helmets, and class idols for the class you're playing. So you tend to want to be playing the class for those items to get them. Similar to D3 in that regard.

[candid elm]

You'd have 8 more passive points. So it's not a massive difference.

[thorn monolith]

I didn't think so, so I guess I need to fix my resistances maybe drop some freeze chance for crit multipler and try again

[formal stratus]

surelly, would like to try mage if possible

[candid elm]

Sure there's lots of Sorcerer builds, here's some examples https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides#classes%3D[sorcerer],
https://www.lastepochtools.com/build-guides/binary-system-volcanic-sorcerer,
https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/mastery/sorcerer

[vernal seal]

Where is the training dummy and will it tell you actual dps?

[candid elm]

By Champion's Gate. It's in the Divine Era on the west side of Heoborea.

A key is not needed, but if you've got an Arena Key, you can put it in your inventory and Right-click it for the map to zoom directly there.

[candid elm]

It just shows the same type of pop up damage numbers you see while hitting enemies in game

[native sail]

It will not give you accurate DPS, and that is intentional

[native sail]

No it doesn't because enemies have innate DR and are affected by a lot of different things that dummies don't count for

[candid elm]

It shows the the pop up numbers like you're hitting an enemy. It doesn't show a DPS. Was I not clear?

[native sail]

Ah I thought you meant like accurate numbers to enemies you hit

[opal holly]

Is there going to be plans to make left click able to move and bind a skill like in most arpgs?

[vernal seal]

Also, what all triggers shop refreshes?

[native sail]

Missing functionalities due to bugs. You can bind some skills to left click if it is already on the rest of your bar. You cannot get 6 skills bound and never will.

[mossy scarab]

Does anyone know the success chances for Glyph of Despair per tier?

[opal holly]

Got ya

[vernal seal]

Man, the hit flinch mechanic is really pissing me off. Keeps making it feel like I have dropped inputs.

[faint cape]

Not exactly. Seems like 100% for T1 on exalted. Lowest chance on T4 on non-exalted.

[near path]

That'd be Stun you're referring to

Getting stun avoidance or a higher hp / ward pool helps

[candid elm]

I've had it fail to seal T1 before

[vernal seal]

Ah, still annoying 😛

[faint cape]

Like I say, that only applies for exalted items, since they get a success rate boost

[vernal seal]

Do modifiers affect the end boss? Like Lagon?

[formal stratus]

if i select some levelling build, can i reroll later ?

[candid elm]

Yes. You can change everything except your initial class and mastery. Although you can put some points - about half way - into the unselected masteries.

[formal stratus]

what is mastery ?

[vernal seal]

Respeccing is pretty trivial. You have to relevel skill masteries, but it's pretty fast (takes maybe like 10 minutes of monolith running)

[candid elm]

For Mage, it's currently Sorcerer or Spellblade

[formal stratus]

oh so if i pick spellblade i can reroll to some other spellblade

[final coral]

Correct

You just need to regear

The respeccing itself is painless and cheap

[elder coral]

What level should I run Monolith of fate, there's only two spots open right now, ? I am 58 now.

[final coral]

This game is VERY accessible. You can definitely play around with skills as you level to try things out

It feels very good

[faint cape]

Yes. Notably, bosses are not rare enemies, so not affect by those mods.

[candid elm]

Whenever you want. The first one is area level 58. You can go there as soon as you reach End of Time. Although, I usually get my Alts up to the point where I have the 15/15 Passives and 8/8 Idols before doing Monoliths. You'll hit that point right after you get the Lance in Chapter 7. I'm usually in the 40s when I get that. But you can go earlier or later if you want.

[sinful laurel]

@native sail so this is a thing https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/mobdr

[formal stratus]

Sweet, is there any run and kill build smiliar to vaal spark

[native sail]

You said you were hitting dummy for about 2k?

[sinful laurel]

How in the fuck am I supposed to deal with fhat

[native sail]

Beeg damage.

[sinful laurel]

I shred a shitload of armor. I have penetration everywhere I can get it. Like wtf

[elder coral]

@candid elm ty so much, going to compllete the story line for sure on all characters, thats my bread and butter for these games type.

[sinful laurel]

So small multi hit builds are just boned?

[candid elm]

Yes but Spellblade might not be what you're thinking of when you said Mage earlier. Has skills where you melee enemies.

[formal stratus]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/EAL2brdB

i saw this video on youtube but idk if its beginner friendly

[candid elm]

Up to you. I did it once then proceeded to skip into monoliths asap on my Alts.

[native sail]

If they aren't ailment.... kinda.

[formal stratus]

seem good dmg with some movement speed

[elder coral]

@candid elm thanks I feel better running them than, I need better gear

So level 100 is the top llevel?

[candid elm]

Just note that build has a bunch of updated Unique items - Legendaries - and a skill tree for a level 100 character.

Maxroll has some leveling builds, if you prefer to follow a guide.

[formal stratus]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/druid-leveling-guide

yes i can follow that and reroll to it later ?

[sinful laurel]

This...is a horrible feeling.

[faint cape]

There's pretty much 0 distinction between small many-hit and big few-hit builds if they are doing the same damage output. Well, really the more hit build is probably at a huge advantage really

[candid elm]

Yes. That's the highest character level and area level. You can make the highest areas more challenging - and give better rewards - by raising the Corruption level in the Empowered monoliths.

[sinful laurel]

Like...how are you supposed to break through that

[faint cape]

Break through what exactly?

[sinful laurel]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/mobdr

[faint cape]

%dr is %dr, it just is what it is

It affects all builds identically

[minor vigil]

Why would % dr relate to the size of hits

[paper tapir]

Gigamages of Hell. Does the idol that gives "Chance to cast Fire Aura" skill proc if the skill that was originally fire is converted to lightning?

[candid elm]

Yes, if you started with a Primalist and selected Druid mastery, you could then change to any other Druid build you wanted without making a whole new character.

Changing your passives just takes Gold, which you'll get tons just by playing. Skills you can change freely at any time - just need to relevel them some, which is very quick at high levels. And you'd need to farm different great and maybe different Blessings - buffs you earn from later boss fights.

[faint cape]

The only thing that %dr actually does (as opposed to just more monster health) is prevent leech from being too crazy

[sinful laurel]

I'm not saying that it disproportionately makes small hits smaller. I'm saying that small hits are already small, and when it's a % close to 90, a hit that was supposed to be 5 million will still be pretty impactful but a hit that was supposed to be 5k becomes 150

[faint cape]

If something loses the fire tag due to conversion (or any other reason) it is no longer a fire skill

[paper tapir]

Thank you

[faint cape]

Impactful hit is impactful, non-impactful ones aren't, %dr doesn't affect that

[vernal seal]

Omg, I'm really struggling already at corruption 100 with both my characters and gear upgrades have become like 1 every 2 million hours of play already =/ wtf

[candid elm]

You could instead use the "Chance To Create Fire Aura On Crit" one.

[paper tapir]

Doing something against my better judgement and tinkering with Disintegrate

Pretty sure that skill sadly can't crit

[gritty flame]

The assumption is both skills do the same DPS before DR. DR will apply equally, so the small damage hit is still gonna do the same DPS as the big one.

[sinful laurel]

Then how does a build that has ~100 flat damage, 475% crit multi, 350% increased damage, 300% more damage, 100 stacks of armor shred, 20% pen, and does 800 damage CRITS in a level 90 mono makecsense?

[formal stratus]

Thank you sir

[sinful laurel]

I can't wrap my head around this. There is no where to go from there

I understand how the math works

[candid elm]

Yeah, you can use a Ignivar's Head to convert Crit into More Damage.

Good luck with Disintegrate, though, it's hard to use stand still skills in this game at higher levels

[paper tapir]

Oh I know KEK had a few members of the community ask me about the skill so I figure I'd show them how horrible it is to stand still so they dont need to

[faint cape]

If you hit fast enough, then you'll do just fine. Keep in mind that more hits per second is a benefit of its own.

[harsh spear]

how do i become a paladin or unlock the skill tree of other classes?

[gritty flame]

Finish the first section of the campaign. It's story based, not level.

[vernal seal]

My spellblade is too squishy when ward is down... My bear does too little single target damage... I just can't find a class I like =/ Maybe I'll have to mess around with Lich... I dunno

[candid elm]

Once you reach End of Time you can select a mastery. I'm usually in the 20s when I get there.

[sinful laurel]

Lol ok but obviously it doesn't do just fine, or I wouldn't have tried to figure out why, with the stats I have, the damage output is tiny

[gritty flame]

Be lazy, run minions. Become less lazy in monos, and run around dodging everything while your minions bite ankles.

[vernal seal]

Man, minions is like the only archetype I don't really love even when it's meta.

[gritty flame]

What do you not like about it? Necromancer can do both permanent and temporary minion builds, so there's variety.

[candid elm]

Lich is a set yourself on fire type of play. You're running around on Low Life with Death Seal, life constantly draining from Lich and Damned stacks, and it's all good as long as there's enemies you can leech off of.

Bone Seal crit Lich is pretty broken. It feels like it's probably bugged, the amount of damage you do.

[faint cape]

It's hard to say exactly why your damage feels low without knowing everything, but it's not because the monster %dr

[errant saffron]

it is bugged

[candid elm]

Yeah the Cursed Limbs interaction with Illusion of Pain

[vernal seal]

It's just... I can find most things cool about most classes... The tanky badassery of warriors, the flashy booms of casters, the speedy ninja reflexes of bow and rogue style classes, but... I like the power to come from within. Pet classes are like... You aren't strong, your pets are strong, and it's just not as "cool" to me. That's all ;P

[exotic vortex]

whats the community's idea for the best marksman solo leveling build. gotta power to 70

[minor vigil]

I did bleed DA

it was ok

[sinful laurel]

It honestly is SO low with the stats I have that it almost feels like a bug. I feel like I'm going insane. I'm not one to just complain that my damage is low and game sucks or anything

[gritty flame]

Ah. Understandable!

[latent herald]

what does this do please? my skeletons just die 😛

[runic zephyr]

where can i read read what a shadow of the blade dancer actually does? i see it in some toolstips but pressing alt does not really explain it. at least in the toolstips, that i can find

[exotic vortex]

your mages will sac your other minions doing aoe damage

[vernal seal]

It's also why I typically don't like Priests and Paladins and Warlocks. They get their power from external sources ;P I usually have to head cannon a half angel kind of thing to enjoy paladin.

[runic zephyr]

Sacrifice is another skill that you have. it is listed if you press "s"

[sinful laurel]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/create_shadow

[runic zephyr]

ah cool, thanks!

[sinful laurel]

Stupid discord

[latent herald]

oh okay, its weird, im following a build guide, and it seems i will need to spam valoatile zombie, summon skeleton, and summon wraith

[candid elm]

Like lucius, I also did bleed Detonating Arrow. Maxroll has a leveling guide, if you're interested https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/marksman-leveling-guide

[exotic vortex]

@candid elm awesome thats exactly what i needed. ty

[runic zephyr]

uhm maybe, i mean, its probably extra dps if your mages sacrifice for you, while you make new ones

[candid elm]

It goes pretty smoothly. Keep up the bleed buff from Puncture and spam Detonating Arrow.

[strong iris]

can anyone tell me if things like "health gained on block" and "regain health when you directly use vengence" are counted as healing and therefore get scaled with increased healing effectivness or if that is counted as something else?

[radiant fossil]

how do I compare against the 2nd ring slot?

[alpine pendant]

change it to 1st ring slot

[unique magnet]

I believe if you hover over the stat it explain what it's for. generally it's only for healing skills, not regen or leech

[vital bobcat]

I have a t5 increase cooldown recovery speed and I have more shards, can you not craft/upgrade to t6?

[alpine pendant]

t6/7 can only be found as loot

[vital bobcat]

gotcha

[candid elm]

Health Gained on Block is not improved by Healing Effectiveness. edit: Deias says on Block is.

I'm not sure about the second one. Rip Blood, for example, says "restoring 10 health when it reaches you" and that is improved by Healing Effectiveness.

[native sail]

Health gained on block is affected by healing effectiveness

It's health gained on hit that isn't affected by effectiveness

Alt+Z

[somber epoch]

god bless

stupid nvidia

[dusky mulch]

what does alt+z do ?

[native sail]

Turns item labels on and off

[dusky mulch]

ohh okay

[candid elm]

Was that changed at some point or are these forum posts just incorrect

[native sail]

I'm going off Mike info here

[candid elm]

We'll go with the posts are incorrect then

[radiant hornet]

Is it possible to enter blood, frost, death by completing fall of the empire?

[minor vigil]

No you need to do stolen lance

[radiant hornet]

ok. thanks

also should i try and unlock empowered first before mapping out the monoliths

[candid elm]

Empowered has them all unlocked

So if you want to, you can then skip the left side unlocks.

[strong iris]

thx for the clarification :)

[quartz finch]

Is Herald of the Scurry bugged or am I just misunderstanding the "Can summon squirells up to twice your companion limit" line, because it's only letting me have a max of two squirrels when I should be having a max of ten

[radiant hornet]

ok. thanks. because im looking for the frozen amulet for my frozen minion build. wondering if i should try to go for it first or complete the last 3 islands first

i can access reign of dragons, and i went through the right side

[sleek sluice]

i might have misread the nodes, so since i take 100% blood splatter chance from eviscerate, i only need 1 point in Splatter to make it work the same way right?

[ivory mauve]

I accidently unlocked Fall of the Empire instead of Reign of Dragons. Could I have some1 allow me to TP there in order to unlock it to save myself some time?

[candid elm]

Frozen Eyes of Formosus? That's a common boss drop off him, so you can get it in normal if you need it to be able to do Empowered monos. If you're comfortable with Empowered, might as well do that as there's better drops and better Blessings

[vernal seal]

is soulfire fire lich any good?

[cosmic imp]

do the skeletal mages cast your version of sacriface or just a base version ?

[fervent quiver]

Yes, that is possible.

[ivory mauve]

Nice.

[native sail]

You still need a way to summon more than the natural max of 1 companion. So use The Fang or the node in Wolf tree that lets you summon up to max companions

[fervent quiver]

That line is talking about the regular limit of 1 companion of each type. Meaning that you can have 2 squirrels by default instead of 1. In order to have more, you need to either wear the fang / the claw (amulet) or put a point into the right node on the wolf tree that removes this limit. (Technically the left side of the wolf tree also works, but that would only allow up to 4 squirrels)

[quartz finch]

oh, gotcha, alright. Just misunderstood the wording then,t hanks.

[candid elm]

Hold Alt on them, there's a note that if you have over 100% you can get multiple spatters. I took them both.

[tight wave]

is that me or that is most bugged skill in game?

like lightyears ahead of any other one

[fervent quiver]

Rampage is currently pretty janky, yeah. Though to be fair, all the travel skills got messed up a bit by the switch to online

[candid elm]

Is that Rampage? A lot of the traversal skills have issues right now. Lunge is especially bad.

[fervent quiver]

networking is hard

[tight wave]

it feels to me like it works barely 1 time out of 5

[tight wave]

20 ms all time. 0 loss

i thought of network, but no

anyone else has rampage barely working? teleporting back to start, or going on cd but doing nothing

like 8 out of 10 times

[cosmic imp]

all traversals are bugged atm

[candid elm]

Again it's not just Rampage, it's a lot of the traversal skills

[cosmic imp]

rampage has been working better for me than lunge thats for sure

[ivory mauve]

How is that done btw?

[fervent quiver]

Oh, I'm not talking about your network. I'm saying the bugs with movement skills were caused by the switch from offline to online (you will notice the skills work fine on offline characters) because handling servers and networking is hard and causes a lot of bugs.

[candid elm]

Like Lunge just locks you in place a lot and you can't move until you use another skill

[tight wave]

i had 0 issues in few weeks of palading play with smite teleport

[keen quiver]

so do effects in one skill tree of a skill, affect other skills?

[tight wave]

literally 0 bugs

[fervent quiver]

Just group with someone who has it unlocked, run an echo in the monolith you want to access and you will have access to it

[ivory mauve]

cool

[candid elm]

Did you try Lunge? I had less issues with Shield Rush, but Lunge is rough

[fervent quiver]

Rule of thumb: If it is a subskill that does not have its own skill tree, yes. If it has its own skilltree, no. There are some exceptions to this rule, but generally this is how it works.

[keen quiver]

what counts as a subskill? a mastery skill?

[tight wave]

are traversal skills on priority list with devs at least? if anyone knows by a chance from streams or announcements

[fervent quiver]

They are working on fixing bugs caused by the mp release, of course.

[candid elm]

There's lots of bug reports on them

[fervent quiver]

Subskills are skills you cant specialize in, like the various minor damage proccs you can tack on to other skills for example.

[tight wave]

rampage feels really gamebreaking... occasional bugs is one deal. but having only occsional times of working - is really bad 😄

[keen quiver]

mostly i'm curious if like leveling up things in my abyssal echoes tree will effect the cast that is proc via my void cleave ability

[fervent quiver]

Then leave it for later and play something else for now. It's easy to forget because AAA studios use it for greed, but remember that you're playing an actual beta here.

[fervent quiver]

If void cleave says it proccs abyssal echoes, and abyssal echoes has its own tree, then it will be affected by the abyssal echoes tree but not the void cleave tree.

If abyssal echoes does not have its own tree, then it will be affected by the void cleave tree (where appropriate).

[faint cape]

It definitely should not, and does not as far as I know. I think the question asked to Mike asked about healing on block, which basically doesn't exist.

[keen quiver]

goootcha, i'ma try and follow this synergy and see what happens lol

[sleek sluice]

aha, but multiple splatter vs the run dry dmg multiplier would multiplier be better overall for dps?

[candid elm]

If you take Resonating Cleave, yes, it casts your Abyssal Echoes. Yes you can spec into Abyssal Echoes to improve it. If you don't, it will use the unspecialized basic version of the skill

[keen quiver]

siiick

[candid elm]

It says the spatters don't hit the original target. I imagine it just helps with clear

[sleek sluice]

alright

[candid elm]

Yeah have fun with it! You can freely unspecialize skills whenever you want.

The new skill you pick will have a base minimum skill level that increases as you level up and will earn increased experience so it levels up faster.

[elder coral]

how do you upgrade green gear?

[outer mango]

You cant do anything to set items

[finite salmon]

hello, so i want to farm Lich's scorn item from monolith boss, if i dont get reward i can go kill him right away again, can i get the item that way?

[unreal sapphire]

Hoeveel + skill kan je hebben voor een skill?

[outer mango]

You have to farm stability same way again

[glacial bear]

why i cant party up now ? if i try to teleport to my friend today i keep stuckin in loading screen every time

[finite salmon]

thank you

[vernal seal]

Huh, my staff of preserverance or whatever that says it makes hungering souls fire in sequence is not, they're still firing in a spread?

[dry narwhal]

It bugged

[vernal seal]

Well that's unfortunate

[dry narwhal]

It still lets you shotgun with them though

I'm like 90% sure on that

[cloud lichen]

do people manage to play 3 or 4? on my side it is impossible, the problem has been reported but I never see any mention of it in the patch notes or in the planned fixes

[vernal seal]

It seems to let you shotgun with it. Do multiple projectiles not normally hit the same target?

And that's why you normally spec into the single big skull?

[dry narwhal]

Big skull lets you go ignite I think

Without items

[native sail]

Yeah but I'm pretty sure it's just straight up better with Soulfire

[vernal seal]

I do have Soulfire, for when I get high enough level to use it... How good is the fire necro build?

[native sail]

Honestly no idea I'm just basing it off of saved points and that a lot of Hungering Souls tree is generic increases not specific

[dry narwhal]

I got that build, ignite hs lich to like 40s and it feels awful

[vernal seal]

haha, that's unfortunate, but not too surprising

[dry narwhal]

I'm not a lich fan though

[vernal seal]

I'm just trying it because I'm frustrated with both my spellblade and bear in corruption 100 right now. needed a break from them.

[dry narwhal]

I've tried and failed a lot lol

Although I finally enjoy bladedancer so there's hope

[vernal seal]

That's another one I'm definitely tempted to try. Honestly my main impetus for trying Lich is that on my Spellblade I keep finding a ton of good Lich gear haha

I kind of like the cold dot bear, but hte single target damage is too lackluster. And mine is actually kinda squishy for a bear just because of gearing, but finding gear upgrades has also become a nightmare, so I dunno.

[spare mica]

hi every1, can i transfer skill prefixes into legendary potential slots? and do similar affixes that are on the exalted and the legendary do add up in 1+1 way or do they block each other or only the highest?

[dry narwhal]

It's random what affixes you get

And no affixes are not blocked by preexisting ones

[native sail]

Identical affixes add together. Yes you can get skill affixes on legendary items. No you cannot manipulate what you get.

[spare mica]

yeah i know its random

[dry narwhal]

You can get a +7 to wolves from 1 helmet if you're lucky

[spare mica]

just wanted to make sure to understand every rule

luck is not with me

[native sail]

Me too, dude, me too.

[spare mica]

ty everyone

[vital bobcat]

you can't get rid of a t5 on a bow at forge?

or reroll to a different t5

[vernal seal]

What is legendary potential and how does it work, anyways?

[minor vigil]

Look up legendary items in the game guide

[native sail]

You can attempt to removal it, good luck. You cannot reroll it because rerolling also upgrades at the same time and you can't upgrade past tier 5.

[vital bobcat]

at that makes sense thanks @native sail

[rigid copper]

What is a good value of dodge rating for minions? Is there some data graph somewhere?

[vital bobcat]

@native sail is that just a rune of removal?

[native sail]

Honestly... minion dodge doesn't matter.

[native sail]

Yeah. Very RNG, so it's risky.

[pastel pebble]

I've done it before

[vernal seal]

Risky, but if you aren't going to use it unless you can get something else in that slot, can be worth a shot.

[rigid copper]

Why that sir?

[dusky mulch]

they are already tanky enough

and they can just leech hp

[native sail]

^

They just don't need it

[dusky mulch]

• you'd have to stack it to be meaningful and even then, it's just a hit every now and then which doesn't matter

[teal oyster]

why can't i drop julra's stardial from temporal sanctum? I checked the database and it says 100% at tier one.

[rigid copper]

Lol ok but I would like to understand how it works anyway
For a skeletons build

Skeletons are fragiles

[dusky mulch]

but they can be re summoned without trouble

[native sail]

You should be able to, unsure of why you wouldn't be getting one

[dusky mulch]

and while you could stack dodge, you could just also stack hp instead and guarantee them being tankier compared to gambling on maybe them dodging a hit or two

[sinful vine]

this feels like a dumb question but you mean from the boss right?

[dry narwhal]

Yeah that's a guaranteed drop from t1...

[teal oyster]

yes sir, the boss fight

[sinful vine]

huh, weird

[teal oyster]

I did it 5 times i think

let me try once more

[minor vigil]

Do you have item labels on

[sinful vine]

is anything dropping for you?

you can hide items

for some reason

[teal oyster]

yes, items are dropping

I have filters, but none for unique

[sinful vine]

i dont mean filter

i mean hiding the actual labels

but if you are seeing other items its not that

[teal oyster]

i see the rest of the loot

[sinful vine]

try a different char? xD

[native sail]

Interesting.... I haven't run Julra in quite a while, I'll go slam her in a bit to test for you

[minor vigil]

I ran it a cpl days ago and got one

[dry narwhal]

I ran her on t1 a couple days ago and got it

[sinful vine]

i do wonder though, does LP potential depend on boss tier?

[dry narwhal]

Well her items always drop with min 1

But I'm not sure about extra lp

[sinful vine]

ah yes, zone level does affect it

so I think you want to farm higher julra anyway?

unless you only need 1 i guess

[candid elm]

I got the stardial when I did Julra a couple days ago on an alt

[teal oyster]

tier 1 😦 What am I doing wrong? 😄

[sinful vine]

was that a 4 min temporal sanctum? 😮

but yea, messed up o.O

[teal oyster]

tier 1 . didn't even bother to kill trash 😄

[sinful vine]

still not bad, I guess you can get lucky with the doors

[minor vigil]

Did the new patch break something

Maybe

[dry narwhal]

That's my first thought

[minor vigil]

I can't check until I get home

[teal oyster]

can anyone else give it a try?

I can try switching characters, maybe it helps

[dry narwhal]

If I wasn't in bed I see would

But uh

[minor vigil]

Relatable

[teal oyster]

thanks 🙂 no worries

[sinful vine]

ill try in a sec, 2.5 gig patch dropped just now 😮

[hasty tartan]

Opinions on ribbons of blood, specifically for a wolf/squirrel beastmaster?

I have a couple with 1 LP

[dry narwhal]

Good item avi

[shrewd sage]

So, after getting (somewhat) grasp on the game and farming a bit, where do I go and see the most used and popular builds?

[sinful vine]

it depends on if your minions are dying

[dry narwhal]

Espescially early gearing

[teal oyster]

ah, i'll wait for the update too 🙂 then try again

[dry narwhal]

It's nice to have

[hasty tartan]

I mean, they usually don't

But it also gives dmg and life for me

[sinful vine]

probably look for LizardIRL and Perrythepig on youtube

they seem to have the most understanding of gear

maybe Curse too

he's been posting some cool stuff

[dry narwhal]

Dr3ad good too

[grave matrix]

Bonus Stability in empowered monolith is a thing?

[sinful vine]

i like dread but I feel like he doesnt respect health enough xD

maybe thats changed

[dry narwhal]

You don't wanna max bonus stability

[elder coral]

Why?

[dry narwhal]

Just get some as an extra on the way too objectives

[sinful vine]

every mob you kill could be a mob you kill in the next mono

which you get more stability for

[sleek sluice]

If you play coop, and one of us dies on oro do i still lose the gaze bonus, or only if both dies

[elder coral]

Ok thanks for the tip

[dry narwhal]

Yeah you should always just go next mono

[grave matrix]

oks! im just new in empowered mono

so going for corruption

[sinful vine]

yea seems like its not a bad plan to go hard on one mono

once your build is up and running

[dry narwhal]

Depends on what you wanna farm

[sinful vine]

oh yea for sure

i mean if you are only trying to max bonus corruption

to then spread it out

[dry narwhal]

Ya the catchup mechanic is very nice

[candid elm]

@tight wave the 0.9g update that just came out says it's trying to address the rubber banding issues with travel skills. See if it's any better after the update
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/beta-0-9g-patch-notes/56097

[velvet wave]

Is it possible to change your mastery

[outer mango]

No

[sinful vine]

so temp dungeon is still fucked for me x.x

can't enter boss room

[velvet wave]

Didn't think it was, but wasn't sure if that had changed from .8

[sinful vine]

sry Laun 😄

[dry narwhal]

Oof

[sinful vine]

might be that the drop bug is due to the same issue?

just a different symptom

[dry narwhal]

Id report not getting the julras item for sure!

If dungon boss loot isn't dropping oh noes

[teal oyster]

will try now after the patch 😄 if still not working, I will report it (don't know where tbh :D)

[dry narwhal]

!bug

[ripe brook]

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

[loud bridge]

Does crit strike avoidance need to go above 100%? If mine is at 100 but enemies have 215% increased crit, does that mean they effectively have 115% crit and can still crit me?

[dry narwhal]

Nope

100% means they cannot crit you ever

[loud bridge]

ty!

[sinful vine]

though I guess technically now the proper cap is 120% with the change to crit vuln

because you can guarantee not being crit even then

it is 20% right?

[native sail]

I don't think it works like that, pretty sure if you have 100% crit avoid you just cannot be crit at all ever

[sinful vine]

at least before the patch crit vulnerability worked against that I believe

has that changed

[native sail]

Unsure. Regardless of that, does anything even inflict crit vuln?

I've never seen it on me

[sinful vine]

there are mono nodes

its more of a "if you have it anyway" deal

just a random thought 😄

[minor vigil]

Isn't crit avoid a multiplier

[sinful vine]

oh no its way worse xD

[minor vigil]

Oh I see

[zenith cape]

Morning! If you have all your resistances at the same percentage, how would this set bonus work?

[sinful vine]

youd need 200%

[native sail]

Ahh

[dry narwhal]

Crit vulnis only 20% now

[sinful vine]

yes but it also reduces avoid by 10% per stack

[minor vigil]

That's nasty

[sinful vine]

just overcap by 100%

[dry narwhal]

I've not seen it on a mono node...

[minor vigil]

What mono is crit vuln on

[sinful vine]

wait different monos have different node punishments?

didnt know that xD

[wooden kiln]

how do people farm stability parallel? ive seen people talk about it but i dont understand

[dry narwhal]

Yes

Black sun has void enemies deal %increased damage as one

[sinful vine]

ohh of course

[dry narwhal]

Not sure if thats exclusive but that's where I see it

[sinful vine]

hmm actually cant find the modifier, maybe I dreamt it? 😮

[dry narwhal]

Marked for death is the closest thing I know

[dry narwhal]

Huh?

[wooden kiln]

ive heard people do paralal timeline to push stability faster than running them together, not sure how they do this doe

[rose spruce]

do you mean corruption, not stability?

[wooden kiln]

ah maybe

[rose spruce]

or is this a multiplayer strategy

[wooden kiln]

but i thought its stability to reach boss faster

y

[orchid turret]

so from everyones feedback what class should i play next. really looking for a class thats just a breeze from 1 to max and easy to understand. I have a shadowblade blade dancer currently

[teal oyster]

so... bad news is - still not stardial drop. And worse news I used 10 keys to be able to make it work at least once 😄

[dry narwhal]

[sinful vine]

rip

[sleek sluice]

If you play coop, and one of us dies on oro do i still lose the gaze bonuses i stacked up, or only if both dies ?

[dry narwhal]

I think you keep it

[spare mica]

lightning swarmblade

[sinful vine]

can attest, my current main

[orchid turret]

you guys have a build i can follow?

[sinful vine]

although you kinda have to grit your teeth and level with maelstrom until 35/40 ish

[spare mica]

u can have a brainbug attached and still win

[sinful vine]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0zO6vWSd2_A

[minor vigil]

Lightning swarm blade is broken

[sinful vine]

there are a lot of variations

[minor vigil]

So dumb

[sinful vine]

but I like this one

[rose spruce]

isn't that build also stupid simple to gear up?

[spare mica]

yes

[sinful vine]

is it? I thought it was pretty balanced, doesn't really do BONKERs damage

[orchid turret]

thank you!

[sinful vine]

its just a druid -> tanky as hell

[minor vigil]

It completely annihilates bosses for me

I have a lot of crit multi tho

[sinful vine]

it does do well

though not like <10 second julra kill

thats OP to me xD

[dry narwhal]

It doesn't feel op

[sinful vine]

damn bleed builds

[dry narwhal]

But it's strong and tanky

[minor vigil]

Yeah I guess it's just op to me in that it's easy to get high damage and very high tank

[sinful vine]

true true

could also go strength stack cold bear

very similar to lightningblade

[minor vigil]

Yup any druid is gonna do well

It can do basically anything

[dry narwhal]

quick if we call it bad it wont get nerfbatted

[sinful vine]

though honestly swarmblade with dashing serpent strike is the most fun ive had in this game since my shuriken rogue experiments

[minor vigil]

Druid is fucking garbage and needs a buff

[sinful vine]

it feels a little like flicker strike

lul

good one

[dry narwhal]

Definitely agree lucius

[sinful vine]

oh I cant read

[spare mica]

yeah druid sucks

[minor vigil]

Come on ggg

[dry narwhal]

Shaman better

[spare mica]

oh yeah they should nerf shaman

to OP

[dry narwhal]

\s

[sinful vine]

i hope they dont too much nerfing in general

i hate when arpgs become "competitive", and suddenly everthing needs to be hyperbalanced or the economy explodes

[spare mica]

as long they keep builds viable

[rose spruce]

if they nerf anything can it be my awful rng pls, it's too powerful

[minor vigil]

I actually think they want to make more masteries like druid

Since it's the most recent

[rose spruce]

(also buff void knight pls ty)

[dry narwhal]

After ailments and crit vuln this patch

[sinful vine]

like how d3 players go mental over other classes going 5 GRs higher

[spare mica]

so u want even worse rng

[sinful vine]

its so ridiculous

[rose spruce]

if you make my rng worse it will actually go too low and overflow into the good rng

[dusky mulch]

Uh, I started doing the endless arena and on wave 10 a one handed unique mace dropped but I didn't notice and I moved on to the next arena, is it lost or there's a recovery somewhere ?

[stiff stone]

Can you convert an online char to offline? Or an ssf to account ssf?

[dusky mulch]

nope

[rose spruce]

doubt it, but if it's wave 10 then you probably got something super common anyhow

[minor vigil]

Character Ssf is only on offline chara anyway

[stiff stone]

I thought when I made my online char there was an option for SSF or account SSF

[orchid turret]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/druid-leveling-guide

you think this good to follow forst

first

[minor vigil]

Oh no there's not (yet)

[minor vigil]

Yea

[orchid turret]

alrighty off i go thank you guys

[stiff stone]

im gonna have to look again when the patch is done then

[quasi pier]

My game just froze on killing emperor of corpses, i just started it with new patch and have not seen this before, so wondering if this is maybe a known (new) bug?

[open wind]

is there a reason to chose "spell critical strike chance" over "critical strike chance" when both are available ?

[native sail]

Spell crit goes higher

[quasi pier]

yeah, that

[open wind]

oh ok. wondered why there is even a spell one. ty!

[quasi pier]

mostly more specific mods roll higher

so i could still click around on the frozen screen, heard some sounds before it finally just crashed, guess ill have to do it again and see if this a reoccuring bug 😂

[fervent quiver]

What's the use of this node, given it puts roar on cd? Does it cast even while roar is on cd? Is it mainly a use for no-cd rampage builds?

[quasi pier]

@fervent quiver I assume so u dont have to press warcry urself

but i dont have too much experience with it

[inland silo]

Hey, just loaded up the game and was aware of the guild system that splits traders and SSF players. What is the point of the character create option called "solo account found" if u essentially choose this later via guild? What am i missing here

[native sail]

Well you can't because factions are not in the game yet

[quasi pier]

it does not share stash with ur other characters

[native sail]

So...

[dark flame]

I have a question about monoliths progression. I am lvl 74 atm on my chakram bladedancer in hardcore and am not sure how fast I should progress through the timelines. Atm I am doing the 85 timeline but there are many close calls already especially when light-/ember mages are around

[native sail]

Also people who choose solo cannot trade or gift.

As opposed to people just in CoF and not solo

[dark flame]

Should I farm levels in lower timelines or am I doing it the "correct" way?

[quasi pier]

usually i rush, but on hardcore u definitely shoudl take it slower

[dark flame]

Damage doesn't seem to be an issue, so I'll just grind a couple more levels and get my glancing blow stuff up?

[quasi pier]

for normal monoliths 1.5k hp is usually sufficient, but thats again a asoftcore statement

[inland silo]

But it says u share a stash with your other ssf chars

[dark flame]

Oh I am just sitting at 1.1k HP...

[quasi pier]

also u want capped resistances

or close to capped

[dark flame]

That I do have

[quasi pier]

and critical strike avoidance is really important too

[dark flame]

Way overcapped on 3 or 4 though

Guess I should look into a crafting guide or something

[quasi pier]

the reign of dragons has a blessing for crit strike avodance that can help too

[dark flame]

I think I'm selling gear that I could probably make good if I knew how to

[quasi pier]

and then endurance cap is the last cherry on the cake

also 1.5k is only for normal, after that its empowered monoliths for those u wanna go as high as 2-3k hp

[dark flame]

But as I said, it seems to be pretty safe except for when ember or lightmages are around

[quasi pier]

depending on ur other defensive layers

[dark flame]

But those seem overtuned to me

[quasi pier]

well at the end its ofc ur call 😂

[dry narwhal]

Those birds are reported and on the radar

[quasi pier]

but when i play hc i tend to play it very safe

i come from poe hc, i take my time giga tanking up 😄

[dark flame]

Yeah in PoE I also just play HC, I can't bring myself to playing SC for some reason

Always get bored really quickly

[quasi pier]

i do play both in poe

[minor vigil]

Light mages are pretty insane

[honest shadow]

How do these two interact together?

[minor vigil]

Tho their worst attack is very telegrpahed

[quasi pier]

@dark flame i havent played much le hc yet, so all my experience is based on sc

but id think 1.2k hp is definitely a tad low considering ure in hc

also yeah get ur glancing blow stuff up

[dry narwhal]

No clue since the funny richochet memes don't work

[quasi pier]

also first mono boss drops a chest u can use for crit avoidance

it has nice health too

i forgot its name

skin something

[dry narwhal]

Woven flesh

[dark flame]

Oh I actually have that I think

Guess I'll put that on

[quasi pier]

then there is also a unique quiver u can use to max glancing blow chance

[dry narwhal]

It's a stopgap piece

[quasi pier]

forgot its name too 👀

im bad with names 😄

[dry narwhal]

Arrowguard lmao

Npnp

[quasi pier]

Yes, thank you XD

[dry narwhal]

I'm good with most item names

[quasi pier]

For me its like i play a week of LE get reaqcuainted with names, go play another game, all blank 😂

i played krangle tree for 3 days

all blank

[dry narwhal]

I uninstalled Poe after getting to act 5 last league

[quasi pier]

oof

[dry narwhal]

Have not wanted to play it since

[quasi pier]

the league mechanic was actually super fun

but crafting and farm felt a bit stale

[dry narwhal]

I've played like over 6k hours

I'm honestly burnt out lol

[quasi pier]

ive played 3.3k hrs

but yeah

i get it, but im excited to see what crafting we get

ever since harvest changes crafting has felt pretty bad

[dry narwhal]

Trying not to complain about my actual issues of the game in the le disc

[quasi pier]

yeah

its off topic 😄

[dry narwhal]

But yeah there's a lot

[quasi pier]

krangled tree was really fun though

it was like a "new player extreme" experience

[dry narwhal]

I hated being new though

Knowing norhing made everything worse lol

[quasi pier]

we are built different, i love having 20 tabs open researching everything and being able to leanr stuff for thousands of hours 😂

[dry narwhal]

I did do that

I just hate having pob and all the other programs that aren't even the game

As a requirement to be able to play the game anymore

[quasi pier]

It's a mixed bag really, I like theory crafting in PoB a lot without having to play

i spend hours on hours in it

and I wish i had a similar tool for LE

[dry narwhal]

I like pob but man it's a deathtrap

[quasi pier]

but at the same time i agree the game relies too much on external tools and ressources

[uneven kiln]

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to fast travel with a controller

[buoyant trench]

When should I consider a build "done"?

[dry narwhal]

When youve finished your goals with it

[buoyant trench]

Tgis is my first character, and I am new to ARPG endgame, I am on my way to empower monoliths, what is there after that?

Can't do the dungeons right now because they are bugged.

[dry narwhal]

Empoweed monos going into corruption yep

[jade bough]

have a question for shurikan base damage conversion to lightning. If I scale e.g. +10phys damage is this then converted? or is just the damage type being shifted to lightning and I have to stack lightning damage?!

[loud bridge]

why does entering a new instance put every skill on cd? is that normal?

[carmine palm]

As it says, it only converts base damage not added damage so added lightning damage is the way

[faint cape]

^ that, or just generic, untyped "throwing damage"

[feral tapir]

anyone got a build for lvling sent bosses are kickign my butt

[faint cape]

Kinda a bug. Most skills instantly recharge once your loading finishes, though. Transforms seem to not insantly recharge, so maybe some other skills are wonky.

[lime iron]

thinking of freewheeling my Lich, as I don't like the 3 minons that every build I find requires

seems like any lich needs 3 minions ...

been the main thing that stops me from trying the mastery

[runic zephyr]

How strict are item types regarding lp? can i fuse any 1 handed weapons or does it have to be at least the same type, like daggers, or do i need the exact type, like poignard

[quiet vault]

does any particular mastery actually want to main poison damage?

[rough reef]

this can drop from any difficulty in rein of the dragon right?

[native sail]

Has to be the same type. Dagger to dagger, helm to helm.

[native sail]

Yup.

[wary light]

Is there a specific monolith I should farm if looking for wands/catalysts? Or just luck of the draw?

[stiff stone]

How are the dungeons going in blind? or is it recommended to check out a guide?

[trim yarrow]

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

[rustic terrace]

double purple roll?

[trim yarrow]

is that a question? >_>

[rustic terrace]

never seen it

[trim yarrow]

well congrats bb. yes double exalts are possible

[bleak sail]

Can the lightless arbor door have a chance to drop exalted gloves?

[open wind]

why can i not hit lagon with Smite ?

[outer mango]

Aim top of your screen

[grave matrix]

how can you see fps in game?

[hasty scaffold]

so i want to make a flame wraith build, what mods are recommended for this? got bored of 1shotting bosses with my judgement build.

i just realized its nearly perfectly fucking rolled for the stats that matter

[compact arrow]

Hi guys!! anyone knows if skeletal mages skills from the node tree are affected by that skill talent tree?

[dry narwhal]

they are not

like sacrifice/hungering souls? no they have their own versions ^^

[compact arrow]

Like that yes!!

OK! thanks!! that would´ve been broken

🙂

[dry narwhal]

im pretty sure in all cases minions use they're own skills

although technically forged weapons/manifest armor scale from your weapon/actual gear pieces

[wary patio]

How does the shop reset? Is it after every timeline echo or?

[solar leaf]

Should i just be quickly upping my corruption in Empowered ASAP? Meaning, kill timeline boss once and then kill shade to upgrade corruption by 12-15 each time?

[solar leaf]

Zone change triggers vendor refresh.

[dry narwhal]

yeah you can

[wary patio]

I see so i have to go to end of time and then back into the monolith to trigger it?

[solar leaf]

yea - but they've acknowledged this isn't intentional. It used to reset after every echo apparently. But I'm new here too. So that's how it used to work I guess.

[dry narwhal]

likely bugged, things are being worked on

[wary patio]

Ok cool

Before the update i knew it reset every 2 echo

[rustic fulcrum]

the tier of temporal sanctum you run has no effect on your ability to maximize your legendaries , right? just curious because I have yet to make a legendary

[glossy fable]

Is there an in game way to see all of the possible affixes when rerolling one at the forge?

[open wind]

what is Lagon's element ?

[minor vigil]

You want to kill the timeline boss still bc of gaze of orobyss

[minor vigil]

Lightning

Maybe some cold too

[rustic fulcrum]

i think cold/lightning or just lightning

[open wind]

ok thx! looked like water. sorry i am new 😄

[solar leaf]

Right. but assuming I'm at 100 corruption, how many stacks of gaze do I want before I bump corruption?

[open wind]

fought him in the monolith again

[solar leaf]

like i want to try and get close to 200 corruption just not sure if I should focus a lot on timeline boss for gaze stacks or just keep resetting after 1 gaze

[dry narwhal]

cold/lightning but like also he has oneshot mechanics that hit really hard

[open wind]

true. learnt that the hard way 😄

[dry narwhal]

1 or 2 gaze should be fine

[cinder hamlet]

Which build can achieve higher dps, icicle bowmage or Aaron's will fire necro?

[minor vigil]

Corruption is just flat 8 gaze so run your timeline boss whenever you can

[rustic fulcrum]

kill the boss a few times, then fight orobyss when your web is depleted of desirable rewards, and/or you want to up your corruption

[solar leaf]

trying to avoid "wasting" time on a low corruption timeline, so I'm just kind of min-maxing my corruption increase is all

[zenith hound]

Wengari Outriders bugged?

[rustic fulcrum]

thats the fastest way basically, rush objectives, kill boss when timeline full, rinse repeat, then kill orobyss when you can get some fatty corruption gainz

[dry narwhal]

2 different masteries on completely different classes aren't comparable .-.

[west mortar]

They are if all you want to know is which does more dmg

[dry narwhal]

i mean how do you tell how much damage a minion build actually does lmao

too many numbers lol

[shadow raven]

Hey guys, new to the game. Last couple days since I started game was running fine, today it is absolute lagging ingame, flying back and forth, rubberbanding around. My network is stable, so guessing server side. You veterans, how long you normally experience for em to get servers back stable? 🙂 Just so I have an idea when to check back, because I wanna play! 😄 But I keep dying to bosses atm, due to my char taking random dmg.

[dry narwhal]

are you connecting to the correct server?

[shadow raven]

Yeah, EUW

[dry narwhal]

hmm

[spare tartan]

If I Use Rune of Ascendance on this is it Guaranteed to turn into the Fractured Crown?

[sterile widget]

You can report rubber banding and lag issues according to these instructions to help the team identify the problem and address them for the future

#1088489316407328879 message

[dry narwhal]

that looks correct to me?

[spare tartan]

I know im just scared lol

Got so lucky with it

[bleak sail]

Anyway to itemize a rune again?

[dry narwhal]

uh?

[peak star]

is there going to be clans or guilds to be able to group up with people?

[dry narwhal]

as with most future development, maybe?

[orchid turret]

update on druid kinda slow but i literally cant die

[dry narwhal]

regular druid things

[hazy abyss]

How does it work if both you and your pet apply an ailment? Does the boss have two of the same ailment but with different scaling?

[dry narwhal]

i think you'd just get more stacks of that ailment

[hazy abyss]

Mostly it's the scaling of it

Since minions and yourself have different scaling stats

[dry narwhal]

there's not like a totem version of bleed for example

[hazy abyss]

Like Frostbite as an example

[dry narwhal]

ailments have their own base damage

[hazy abyss]

i can have my totem procs a shitton of them but they deal no damage (i would guess), while my own do

Since i can scale pen and other stuff, while minions can only generic dot

[dry narwhal]

that probably has to do with the minion damage over time stat

im not the best at answering aiment question 😔

[hazy abyss]

Yeye, what i meant was, is it simply like 18 stacks that i made that deal 100 damage, and 100 from my totems that deal 1?

[dry narwhal]

im pretty sure an ailment cant deal less than its base

[hazy abyss]

(yeah i meant generally speaking :p)

[dry narwhal]

i think it might be your hit applying the ailment that makes it look bigger?

[rustic fulcrum]

what are the best dungeon(s) to farm if I havent seen a good upgrade from empowered monos in daaays (haven't ran dungeons yet)

[rose spruce]

you can do temporal sanctum floor 2 runs if you need exalted weapons or relics
lightless arbor if you have gold to roll high exalted chests

[minor vigil]

Do any of the daily bonuses give item slots you need?

All of the dungeons are very good at giving you exalted items

Soul fire let's you target a slot a bit easier

[rustic fulcrum]

so bastion is just, meh?

oh nvm

[minor vigil]

It's not meh no

You can get amazing exalted items

[ivory zenith]

Do I have to keep farming stability (and resetting the timeline) to farm a quest echo boss drop?

[minor vigil]

Yes

Well doing the monolith boss doesn't reset the timeljne

Only shade does

[vernal seal]

What's the best way to gear up if I'm struggling with even corruption 100?

[ivory zenith]

I suppose. I thought I could just portal out and do the boss again but apparently he doesn't drop anything but random crap after you've done it already.

[orchid turret]

wait if ive already finished campaign do i have to do it again to get mastery?

[minor vigil]

What do you mean? Are you doing multiplayer

[ivory zenith]

No.

[minor vigil]

You get a chance at the boss drops (and one of the guaranteed drops)every time you clear the boss and lose the stability required to run the boss

[proven venture]

when playing with controller is there anyway to set up macros so like sigils of hope will cast automatically every 3rd or 4th rive hit for instance

[ivory zenith]

What I tried was just to portal out and not completing the quest series, so I can just quickly do the boss again without having to farm stability all the way up to the 3rd quest.

[dry narwhal]

that locks you out of drops

[ivory zenith]

Doesn't drop a unique that way.

[dry narwhal]

yeah

[ivory zenith]

Yep.

Well he does drop

crap items though

[vernal seal]

Also, which monolith zones give resistances? I should grind those out to free up some itemization points.

[dry narwhal]

most of the ones on the right side

plus 2 out of the 3 top ones

[ivory zenith]

anyways different question. can Uniques with high effective level of legendary potential get 4 lp? is it just an extremely lower chance?

[clear thunder]

So when smite is cast off a proc does it use my leveled up smite or a normal smite?

[rustic fulcrum]

holy wot!!! 2LP eterras path from soul gambler - thank you whoever said to run bastion

[native sail]

Technically yes. Realistically no. A 4LP Omnis is 1 in 16 quintillion

[ivory zenith]

lol

[dry narwhal]

wasnt quintillion low actually?

[minor vigil]

All of the monos with character power blessings

[dry narwhal]

i think they said he left off a couple 0s

[vernal seal]

Wtf, I don't know what changed but I'm having a much harder time staying in bear form today on my cold dot bear...?

[minor vigil]

Today compared to when

[vernal seal]

Last night? Even this morning...

[minor vigil]

Oh lol

What echo mods?

If you're getting your rage from crit and you rolled crit avoid that might be it

Or dodge

[native sail]

That's after adding the zeroes

[vernal seal]

None, just started a new emp mono

No, I don't think I was... Cold dot doesn't really crit much.

[minor vigil]

Right yeah

[vernal seal]

Cause you know... Dots

[minor vigil]

I haven't played that build in over a year idk if they had to change rage gen since the nerf

[dry narwhal]

they buffed the rage gen passives in .9

[minor vigil]

Yeah but the nerfed the vines

So i thought you might have to hit stuff now

[vernal seal]

Oh... I think the vines are what are regenning my rage, and if things die TOO fast it doesn't regen?

I'd like to transition to a shock swipe build, but... I need to get some weapons at the very least first =/

[dry narwhal]

are you using tears of the forest?

[vernal seal]

Yes

[hasty scaffold]

is it just me, or does the item filter not have everything in it?

for example, the mage relics that give minions %increased fire dmg

its in the build planner, but not in the filter

[outer mango]

depends of item filter and build

[hasty scaffold]

how does it depend on item filter? it should have everything in it right?

the in-game item filter

[dry narwhal]

then you shouldnt be having anyproblems

[outer mango]

it filters those out?

[hasty scaffold]

i'm trying to find them to highlight them in the filter

[outer mango]

you have to make new rule to filter then

[vernal seal]

I feel like sometimes when I'm using maul vines isn't coming out for some reason? UNsure

[dry narwhal]

hmm

[vernal seal]

Seems to be working now, but for a couple echoes it was being wonky

[quartz berry]

hey guys, i'm having a problem that i up my char and when i do the log out, so the char come back to the initial level

happens twice, with lvl 1 and another lvl 20 to 25

more someone had this problem after update?

[vernal seal]

I've heard of people having some rollback issues... Some even mid-game?
