[peak plaza]

might be my armor as well

thx for the tip!

[patent summit]

Is there any sort of map logic in dungeons? (specifically Temporal Sanctum) I'm just here to make a legendary on T1 and finding the doors is taking forever

[vague badge]

is there a way to check for more than 2 affixes on a single filter rule?

[faint cape]

Depends on what you mean exactly

[vague badge]

like, i want to recolor loot that has 3 or more of specific affixes

[faint cape]

Yeah, check on the affixes you want and use the dropdown for "with at least X of these affixes"

[vague badge]

it only allows 23

2

[faint cape]

the dropdown has 1 through 4

[faint cape]

You might only have prefixes selected, then

[vague badge]

hmmm that makes sense

[faint cape]

or only suffixes

[worthy plover]

Shred armour is really good right? Am I missing something or are unlimited stacks reducing armour not very good?

[minor vigil]

[worthy plover]

Nice thanks for that link that's quite interesting

[cloud nacelle]

How do you get empowered mono's? I've just finished beating the 3 level 90 bosses.

I assume i need to do these also

[vague badge]

what should I do with uniques I dont need? Ive been storing them all for alts but my storage tabs are filling up with them lol

[fresh aspen]

store rares, throw commons

[small void]

I JUST bought the game - how is replayability and future in the game compared to games like D3(Paragon and ladder+ season) and POE? 😄

[candid elm]

After you've done the 3x level 90s, walk back to the area before them where the path branched into three. Interact with the thing in the center.

[warm flower]

theres not as much to do as POE yet, being a new game but the content is great, still very replayable for awhile, seasons coming to game but not yet

[candid elm]

Game is still in beta, so not everything is available yet. The devs are planning a season/league system - called Cycles - that will be released in the future. Cycles will be a similar thing where you start over with new characters and an empty stash.

The game doesn't have a D3 Paragon thing, like PoE doesn't. The max level is 100 and once you've reached the end game, which you can get to around 70-80, it's about doing monoliths/timelines that are semi randomized. I guess you could think of it vaguely like PoE maps, although there's currently less variety. There's a Corruption system where you increase the monster health and damage along with item rarity - so you get more drop chances at better items.

There's also multiple tiers of dungeons and an endless arena.

There's plenty of content to play for a couple hundred hours - if you enjoy making new characters, different builds, and farming items. If that's not interesting to you and you just want to play through one character once - then there's currently 9 of 12 planned campaign chapters available. It wouldn't take an experienced ARPG player very long to beat that. Maybe a day or two.

[native sail]

PoE has a 10 year headstart on being fully released, so... yeah, it's gonna be a while before LE compares to that amount of content

[fresh aspen]

LE devs are the only devs that have weekly update streams every friday. Its incredibly promising for the future of this game.

like srsly, ive never heard of a dev that does weekly updates

[acoustic thicket]

Hello, I have problems with game freezing for few seconds when I'm running arenas and I end up dying all the time... Could someone help me to figure out if buying extra ram could help me or I need new system? I'm not that much into tech so I don't know if I'll be wasting money or not...

[zinc anchor]

The exits are normally on the northeast wall all the way to the east or northwest wall all the way to the west. But you can't beeline to the wall and follow it. Gotta get there from the middle, usually. Yeah it's mazey lol

[zinc anchor]

You are right that shred armour has diminishing returns. But it only lasts 4 seconds I believe so keep in mind

[fresh aspen]

Shred armour scales with attack speed/ cast speed. each stack casted will only drop after 4 seconds, so the higher AS u have the more stacks u can maintain. Shred armor is extremely good for AS/ minion builds

[vague badge]

just to confirm: this spell wont scale with intelligence right? Im not sure if the intelligence stat description means it applies to all spells or only spells with the intelligence tag

[cloud nacelle]

press alt. it should say int scaling

[vague badge]

doesnt say int scaling, so I am correct in thinking it doesnt use int at all?

[cloud nacelle]

looks that way

[vague badge]

just making sure! I wasnt completely sure since the int description just said "spells"

[cloud nacelle]

my main skill shows dex scaling.

the dex tag is new... i swear. i never saw it until now lo

[candid elm]

Yeah that says it's scaling from Attunement.

[faint cape]

Just for the record, int doesn't say spells at all, it says "skills that rely on carefully studied magic", which is a lore-wise way of saying caster skills (mage and acolyte are the only casters)

[small void]

That's great and very thoughtfull answer - thanks! 😄

[patent summit]

Thanks. Finally got Julra on the third try. Why do I keep getting randomly temporal shifted during the explosion? It killed me twice.

[forest vapor]

if you use movement abilities or just.. abilities.. too close to the switch the server gets confused as to where you are

best to try and not do anything a few seconds before switching

[dense ridge]

maybe a silly question, is there any way to change the order of the "select traveler" screen?

[forest vapor]

well... 'a few seconds'.. pause for as long as you can without dyin i guess

[native sail]

Not atm, they're working on something for that. I think they said they'll be changing it to last played on top

[dense ridge]

ah ty ty

[fickle rain]

Hi All, Im trying to farm riverbend grasp with LP but to no avail so far. Whats the best way to target farm? Goto the correct echo and just hope you get 'unique glove' nodes?

[desert tree]

Yep

You could take the blessing for more unique drops, because more uniques = more chance to get thoses gloves

[faint cape]

Yep, definitely should be in empowered, and I recommend the gloves drop rate blessing as well

highest corruption you can still zoom in

(I'd still probably take an idol blessing over the unique blessing, but depends on your needs)

[fickle rain]

Ok im playing HC and am slightly afraid of empowered so far haha. But i will. Which echo has the glove blessing btw?

[faint cape]

The Stolen Lance has the drop rate blessings for armor and jewelry

and offhands, too

[fickle rain]

thank you!

[candid elm]

And Ending the Storm can have Unique/Set Gloves echo reward.

It's more likely in Empowered/ Legendary, if you feel you can handle that. You'd also get more drop chances from the Corruption bonus.

[fickle rain]

Awesome, thanks all

[ruby badge]

so have some unique gears and when i equip it the visual from the equip menu and in game is so different, like in equip visual looks amazing but in game its just another copy of normal gears. Is it going to be like that forever or am i gonna get cool looking gear later in end game? im at chapter 4+ btw

[faint cape]

All uniques and sets will eventually have 3d models to match their 2d art

[candid elm]

Yeah as new models are added/updated, they usually get posted on the forums. Example
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/enemies-armor-updates-coming-in-convergence/52258

[patent summit]

Well that's interesting. Definitely what it was, I was shifting right up until like 9. Thanks

[icy drift]

do the "increased drop rate" blessings make a higher % of the things you would drop anyway into that thing or do they drop additional of that thing. Like if, without a blessing, i were to drop 10 items from a boss lets say. Will i now drop 11 items, the additional being whatever the blessing gives, or will a higher proportion of the 10 items be whatever the blessing it

[halcyon rampart]

does exalted weapon type used to make a legendary need to match the unique or any 2h goes? e.g can I mix axe + sword

[patent brook]

needs to be same type

[halcyon rampart]

thanks!

[faint cape]

Blessings don't affect base drops, they just add new ones

[candid elm]

Same general type. Like 2H Axe to 2H Axe. You don't have to match the specific base type, such as 2H Obsidian Axe.

[vague badge]

spells, magic, sorcery, etc. all seem the same to me lol, but yea I assumed it wasnt used since it didnt say int on the spell tag list I just wanted to double check and make sure

[languid citrus]

do dev plan to nerf umbral blades? it feels weird and unethical.

[vague badge]

I doubt they will be looking too hard at balance issues until they are ready to drop the cycles, but its possible

[zealous orchid]

As someone who has never really played endgame in arpgs how grindy do they tend to be?? Like is it usually something that will take u a couple days to get the gear u want like Warframe or is it hours like Destiny 2??

Do they tend to have target farmable stuff? Looking at the maxroll guides for any ARPG they tell u what gear u want to get but never where to get it so are there dedicated websites for such things??

[candid elm]

Umbral Blades were nerfed a bit in 0.9.

They used to just cost 3 mana, so before, with just one of the -3 mana affixes sealed on a ring you could spam then endlessly

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/the-convergence-update-beta-0-9-patch-notes/51975#heading--rogue-skills-umbral-blades

[shut lion]

i just need do DGS , i am stuck in the boss room

[candid elm]

You can get generic gear easily just by playing. If you're trying for a specific unique, well rolled idols, or well rolled exalted items that can take a while. Crafting Legendaries can really be a grind.

If you're looking at a build guide, I would suggest you don't start with one that requires a specific unique or idols.

[raw fern]

@sterile star What issues are you having? Since 0.9 if you bought the game you already have account on the page/forum. You have to use steam to login

[sterile star]

when i try to log in with steam on the website, nothing happens

[raw fern]

And you bought the game though steam ? Are you able to login in the game ?

[sterile star]

i havent bought yet, sry i should have said that first xD

[candid elm]

As far as target farming. Some uniques are a boss only drop, so you can keep doing that boss. Others are global drops, so you can do end game content in certain areas that may offer a reward that gives a random unique/set item of the type you're looking for - extra drop chances. There are also Blessings that increase certain drop chances. And late game there's a Corruption system that makes enemies harder and gives increased item rarity - again more drop chances.

[raw fern]

ahh 😄 That's why it doesn't work 🙂

[sterile star]

I see lol

thanks for ur answer dude ❤️

i wanted to see the supporter packs because i cant find them on steam

[raw fern]

They are currently unavailable. I don't know when the next batch will be available

[sterile star]

I see, do u know if they in general be steam or only website?

[cyan wave]

I keep trying to launch an Echo but i just end up with a "Loading Echo" screen for a long time with nothing happening

[raw fern]

Report that on the forum #555817861529075713 with player.log. I will take a look.

[worthy plover]

I lost connection yesterday while loading one map, I had to alt f4 and restart game just that was only time I ever experienced getting stuck on loading I could see the pop up behind it saying lost connection after a while but couldn't click on it

I am playing online though maybe not applicable if single player

[raw fern]

Since 0.9 they moved everything to steam. So my guess is that they will be available on steam

[sterile star]

okey thanks!

[quiet shard]

Are there any resources available to help best determine which attributes to shoot for to maximize damage?

Not sure what to throw on this wand with an open prefix because I'm not sure whether cast speed, spell damage, or some crit multi would benefit me more.

[cyan wave]

ok sent

[raw fern]

I've replied. It looks like an issue that someone had today

And resolution helped them

[cyan wave]

hmm i wonder if this will also fix another issue i noticed on a map where the mobs seemed invisible lol

i thought it was me lol

[raw fern]

Usually verifying the game files helps with this kind of issues

Maybe it's the same cause

Since file is named "actors"

[amber void]

i have a question about 2 passives in the Static skill tree, if i have Unstable (4/4) and Unlimited power, does that mean i cast 5 Lightning blast since Unlimited power turn Zap into Lightning Blast or i only cast 1?

[desert tree]

Not really, I would not rely on the in game dps tooltip either

You can make the math by yourself with excel

[restive wasp]

Is the freeze rate multiplier affix actually used by any character/build? I'm at the point where I'm actually upset when it rolls on my gear

[faint cape]

It's used mainly by Snowdrift builds, but also is always a nice affix to have on any build that has a freeze rate, similar to stun chance for hit builds.

[light niche]

Hey guys, just started playing this game a few days ago, got my first build to level 65. Doing Lich acolyte but it’s not super fun to play. What builds are the most enjoyable? I’ve been enjoying melee lately in other games like d4/poe

[high tusk]

Melee... do you like auto attack, or spin to win? Do you like tanky melee (a la tank or druid) or more rogue like melee

[light niche]

Def a bit more tanky I’ve played my fair share of deadeyes in poe and dh in d3 lol

I’m kinda over being squishy

My buddy who is also new to the game is doing void knight, seems decent for campaign but idk about the end game content

[high tusk]

VK has some decent builds, so does paladin. Druid swipe is also decent if I'm not mistaken (someone please chime in, I'm relatively new to this game as well.

[light niche]

Yeah I was looking at the werebear swipe build

Probably what I’m gonna try next, just wanted to ask in here first

[jolly shell]

I like one (1) on a build that can chill or does cold because it very quickly changes your chills to freezes. Also it gives a decent chunk of res. It’s nice but not necessary or probably even optimal.

[high tusk]

The thing is.. what you think is "fun" is too subjective. I'd say look up skills and their playstyles. https://www.lastepochtools.com/build-guides/tag/melee

This may give you a good starting point

[light niche]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[high tusk]

You're welcome. Good luck with finding something you enjoy.

[worthy plover]

do blessing effect Orobyss drop rate or bosses drop rates?

of Orobyss or Boss specific items

[high tusk]

I'd like to know that as well, actually

[amber void]

If static Orb doesn't explode, it still dealing damage with the tendrils? For what i understand reading the description, the explosion and the tendrils are different instances of damage

[vague badge]

whats a good spin to win facetanky build?

[raw coyote]

i'm playing a Warpath VK and something is causeing me to lose all my mana and go negative and thus stop me from spinning

any ideas what that might be?

feels like it happens when i get hit sometimes

[high tusk]

You know, I've only been playing for a few weeks, but based on what I've gathered, facetank and spin2win don't go together anymore (at least not as much as it used to be) with the Titan Heart nerf.

[faint cape]

No, the tendrils are part of the explosion

[faint cape]

If this is definitely the cause, check that you don't have anything that can trigger when you're hit that consumes mana

otherwise, it might be that you selected the abyssal echoes node

[faint cape]

No, blessings do not affect boss drops

[worthy plover]

🥲

welll at least they will help me fill the slots I can't get the boss drops for! 😄

[faint cape]

Yep! Or they can help you get an exalted item to legendary-craft it with

unless you're using a set, then I guess you're out of luck lol

[sharp karma]

So i just died to lvl 75 Mono Lagon and idk how anyone able to help me i dont know how i died

im so lost

[restive wasp]

Is it ever worth using a Glyph of Despair on a rare?

I've been playing for just under a month and I just noticed I've never seen anyone do it... Dunno if it's even possible

[warm flower]

heals me to right?

[rugged sinew]

you are your own ally

so yes

[warm flower]

i assure you im no ally of mine lol

[rugged sinew]

lol

[warm flower]

thanks though 🙂 i thought so just wanted to check, i kinda thought it would share the healing with other with that node... if you have healing elsewere which i dont

if it said "Also heals you and allies" it would have been alot better i think i seen alot ask about that node

[rugged sinew]

they'd have to make the change to every skill that says allies then

[warm flower]

yeah, but better to be clear i think, not really a high priority but be nice someday lol

[uneven remnant]

I would love to play swarmblade but I don't know how to level up. Any ideas or videos could help me?

[warm flower]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWz29PZX64A&t=900s

that might help

[uneven remnant]

Ok, thank you very much!!! 😄

[rugged sinew]

Perry also has one

[warm flower]

no propblem, i reccomend his videos alot

yeah, thats Perry The Pig in case you dont know him

[faint cape]

It can certainly be useful, but a super niche thing. I'd basically only recommend sealing T1 potion cleanse or frailty on (melee) hit. Harder to do than on an exalted item, but you get more bases that you could do it on - just gotta be careful not to burn all your despair.

[zinc anchor]

I would say not generally worth because they have low FP mainly

[uneven remnant]

Oh wow! This guide is really trough out! Thanks again for the recommending!!

[warm flower]

no problem, hope he helps alot

[zinc anchor]

Would you consider my build "good" if I can clear corruption 158, wearing 3 legendaries with 1 LP, 2 uniques, 1 rare, and the rest just exalts with 1 T6 modifier? I feel like my gear is bad so idk...

I rarely die
EDIT: And I have only 2 sealed affixes

[ionic crag]

does anyone use remote controler to play?

do you know if we have to change some configuration for when using moving abilities such as shift? mine goes always in the direction of mobs instead of where i aim

[open zealot]

should i play swarmblade or werebear on my druid? im feeling wishywashy

[rugged sinew]

whatever you like more

maybe you just wanna be a bear

or a fast little guy

[empty wharf]

Swarmblade for the zippity zop, Werebear for the bippoty bop.

[zinc anchor]

For most of my gear I know what stats to look for and what's best but helmets have way too many options. I can go offensive, defensive, and multiple directions for both

[vague badge]

whats a good way to farm gold

[pastel pebble]

Monoliths

Hitting up the gold nodes in a decently corrupted empowered monolith does a lot

[high tusk]

Do blessings affect Timeline Boss drops? I.e. if I have the blessing for relics, am I more likely to get Stormcarved Testament from Lagon?

[faint cape]

No, they don't

[worthy drum]

@dry narwhal Finished testing Glyphs of Despair.

When an affix is already sealed you are unable to even attempt to use another Glyph of Despair and are met with the text "Max 1 Sealed Affix" so there is no way to overwrite the first sealed affix.

Secondly, a critical success does not consume the Glyph of Despair. This occurs even if the Glyph failed to seal an affix.

[high tusk]

Rip

[quiet sandal]

Get the increased gold drop blessing and hunt golf shrines. Gold echo rewards are nice but they are honestly not worth that much. About the same as selling arena keys

[sterile widget]

Apologies to the chap I gave a bum steer the other day. I swear you could do another one over the top...

[still sail]

Is there a way to disable the comparison at the bottom of item tooltips? Starting to get frustrated having to move my items around in my stash/inventory just so the whole tooltip shows on the screen.

[dense lynx]

Being in my mid 90s is there a point in snagging rare items/weapons or should I just focus on uniques and purple tiered gear?

[still sail]

I made some pretty specific rules in my loot filter to show rares with certain affix combinations but I mostly focus on Unique/Exalted items

[faint cape]

It's more dependent on your current gear. If you have all T20 rares, you probably need exalted items to improve upon them. If you have any uniques in your build, look for those same ones with LP or better rolls. If you have sets in your build, all you can do is get ones with better rolls

[rugged sinew]

at worst rares are still shatter fodder, i have a filter rule that shows them when they have a t5 mod of an affix i don't have many shards of

[faint cape]

T20 gear on good bases with the right affixes, that is

[rugged sinew]

like hybrid health is always a good mod to pick up for shattering

[dense lynx]

Any chance I can have that filter? 😂

[rugged sinew]

adjust it to oyur liking

[dense lynx]

You are a gentlemen and a scholar

[rugged sinew]

there are also rules for highlighting exalteds i find good

[still sail]

Everyones desired gear is also different.

[rugged sinew]

i make a copy of that filter for every one of my builds and then add rules to highlight the items i need for that build specifically on-top of what it highlights baseline

[still sail]

Ah ok.

I should do that too...

[restive wasp]

Is the gambler's item pool locked to certain item levels? He doesn't seem to ever have items above level 40 or so

[rugged sinew]

yes they stop at level 40

[still sail]

Nothing above ilvl 40

[rugged sinew]

[still sail]

Which is kinda sad really.

[rugged sinew]

if you want higher ilvl gambler items go to soulfire bastion

[restive wasp]

Oof... just wasted about 20K testing it lol

[still sail]

I feel like that should be 50 base, 75 once empowered monoliths are unlocked.

[restive wasp]

Luckily it's whatever

[still sail]

And soulfire bastion is great if you wanna try for uniques

[restive wasp]

How does soulfire bastion work? Only dungeon I've tried is Sanctum

[versed pier]

Just came back after not playing for ages and found this. What's a good build for it now days?

[still sail]

Killing enemies gives you souls. You can use those souls to swap between Necrotic and Fire shields that make you immune to their respective damage type. After you kill the boss you can spend you remaining souls gambling on a variety of gear types that change day to day.

[still sail]

Anything with an skill/affix that requires >300 mana.

[broken galleon]

is shred armor important for every on-hit build?

[rugged sinew]

yes/no

it's up to like 60-80% more damage

you caaaan technically live without it

also there are ofc a couple builds that can't really get it

even though they hit

if they hit very slowly

it starts falling off at around ~50 stacks

so you if you get it more than that won't help you too much

[broken galleon]

thank you!

[rapid rose]

Hey so what do I have to do to open the Reign of Dragons monolith?

did Ending the Storm, but the new path doesn't go to Reign, it goes to Fall of the Empire...

[rugged sinew]

in the second quest echo you need to click the option to fight liath

[faint cape]

It's much more important for physical builds, since it's about 40% better for phys hits

[rapid rose]

AH! JUST found a reddit post where someone says they 'always click thru too fast'... I'll redo it, lol...

Thanks

[faint cape]

You could do the Fall of the Empire at this point, just for a mixup and a new blessing

It'll lead you there, too

[worthy anvil]

anyone ever applied a filter and it didn't work?

[west vapor]

is that an accomplishment or is it normal

[dense lynx]

Can I remove just one stat on a piece of gear? I have a dodge rating on my chest piece and like everything else

[safe harness]

You have 3 options

You can use glyph of chaos to change it to a different random affix

You can use glyph of despair to seal it (but this can fail and has better odds with low tier affixes)

You can use glyph of removal and pray it removes the affix you want removed

[dense lynx]

If you were in my position what would you recommend? Lol trying to wrap my brain around forge and just feel a little lost

[safe harness]

Depends on the item and how much forging potential you have

[dense lynx]

Okay that makes sense. Trying to build out my flame wraith build but struggling to get more wraiths on my gear sets so was just trying to figure out forge a bit and go from there

[safe harness]

If it’s an exalted item with high forging potential, I’d usually seal a low tier mod then add the affix I want

If the affix is t4 that I want changed I just chaos it and hope for the best

I think the glyph of removal is too risky

[dense lynx]

Okay thank you so much for the explanation i will keep fiddling with it!

[west vapor]

my rng with glyph of removal has historically been terrible it always take the exalted affix on the first or second try

[kindred lichen]

Is it just me or can you not left click on enemies to attack them alot of the time? I tend to half the time move when I click on an enemy when it's meant to swipe them...

[west vapor]

does anone have the ring in their stash the heirloom of the last nomad

i would like to check something

any of you guys used that ring before

[fresh aspen]

What are u checking

[restive wasp]

Why do people use the training dummies in the arena to gauge DPS when the numbers on them are wildly different than doing actual content?

[west vapor]

well if you look at it it says 87% increased stun duration received

however when you press control alt it says reduces the duration of stuns you receive in the affix description

so im wondering which one is the incorrect information

[fresh aspen]

0.87 of 1 * is reduction in stun duration @west vapor

increased in this game is just a word for multiplicative

if im wrong someone correct me

[west vapor]

so i just tested it and got stun locked so i believe its useful if you have 100% stun avoidance

[fresh aspen]

i see

all the additional stats are literally useless , thats why no one is using it

[quiet sandal]

increased is additive, more is multiplicative

I also am pretty sure the ring is intended to increased the duration of the stuns you take, not reduce them, given that the potion cleanse stun affix is on there too.

[dry sail]

noob question, just started monolith for the 1st time - how do I reset a timeline?

[safe harness]

there are nodes in the monolith which resets it and increases the corruption (gives more damage & hp to enemies and increases exp & rarity of item drops)

[slow harness]

does the boss damage reduction last for X seconds or is it active until the boss is dead?

[dry sail]

can't find one. do I need to keep beating nodes until one of these shows up?

[safe harness]

i think the better question is, why do you want to reset the monolith?

but yes, they are usually farther out from the center. At the edge of monoliths are only this monolith reset node.

[dry sail]

thanks

[desert tree]

Because is has no modifier on it, so it gives you your theoretical damage in a way

[restive mortar]

hello 🙂 .. just a quick question. what am i missing to be able to put a point in this? im 71 points in to Necro mastery

[desert tree]

You need 3 pts in the node before

[restive mortar]

ahhh i see the path now. yeah, good call, i missed that somehow

[unreal hinge]

is the "Power Overload" node in arcane ascendance really as bad as it sounds? You need to spend 15 seconds in arcane ascendence to even get on the same spell-damage level as a single point in higher plane?? Or is Power Overload actually "more" spell damage and the tooltip is just a typo? Otherwise this sounds waaaay too weak

[sterile widget]

Higher Plane is increased spell damage while active

Power Overload is increased spell damage per second while active

If your Arcane Ascendance lasts 5 seconds, each point of Power Overload is worth 1,2,3,4 and then 5% increased spell damage

[unreal hinge]

sad, so its not worth any points ever

[winged harbor]

so what do y'all think warlock is gonna play like?

[polar narwhal]

is this a known bug already?

(loot filter disabled)

[true echo]

don't think I have any push or knockback. I just use lightning blast

[raw fern]

Press Z or ALT+Z

[polar narwhal]

ack, i gave up and left the area :( i'll try it if it happens again hope it doesnt tho

[sturdy atlas]

It should be fine if you're far enough outside, but it's got a finnicky hitbox

You could also try flame warding right before it goes off and tanking it

[faint cape]

You can disable the hide tooltips keybind (alt+z) and then it won't happen again

[rancid star]

So what should I do with all of these exalted items that aren't useful for my build?

[unreal hinge]

leave them be, theres no penalty for littering in this game (yet?)

if they have rare affixes you might want to shatter them though!

and when they have super rare affixes you want to rune of removal the affixes

[forest vapor]

i would add a bit to your filter that makes T7 exalts stand out, never hurts to pick those up

i mean it will hurt your gold balance eventually as you buy more tabs but still, its nice to start a new build and have some useful things already on hand, or for legendary feeders

[rancid star]

t7s?

When do they start dropping?

[forest vapor]

i've seen them drop quite early on, just the rate goes up a lot with rarity and corruption and area level

they arent as rare as you think, unless you are after one specific t7 affix in which case it bloody doesnt exist anywhere.

so, business as usual, really.

[worthy plover]

Is the best way to get maxroll idols just raising corruption aye?

[cerulean olive]

is there a shadow patch? i cant get all my idol slots without killing lagon.

i swear i had 15/15 and 8/8 without killing lagon

[cloud nacelle]

What do you get from arenas exactly?

nvm I see lol

[elder coral]

Question when you combined your gear to create a piece, I know it has to be the same piece. like helm + helm, but my questions is , does it have to be the same class, like mage helm Vs rogue helm or does it still have to be your class as you make the gear, if that makes since. ?

[faint cape]

It's just getting more idols to drop, really. Rarity doesn't affect them, and not totally sure how corruption affects idol reward echo spawn rate, if at all

So, speed clear with appropriate idol drop rate blessing and target every idol reward echo

[faint cape]

You missed something. You get all idols and passives by the time you kill Yrun if you hit everything

[jolly shell]

The dragon portal is easy to miss

[faint cape]

Affixes keep their requirements when transferred. So, if you put a primalist-specific affix on a generic unique, the legendary then requires primalist.

[gloomy frost]

Will damage bonuses to crowstorm in the storm crows tree affect frostbite applied by crow storm?

[faint cape]

If it just is generic damage, yes. I don't remember the exact wording

[icy wasp]

anyone know if sigil of hope (Sigil of despair) increases the damage of time rot and doom?

[candid elm]

The Sigils of Despair part about % increased void damage should. Both of those DoTs do void damage.

But the part about the flat fire damage being changed to void I don't believe would help the DoTs.

[haughty basin]

i have a question if i do fire damage over time does fire penetration work with it or do i need something spefic?

[icy wasp]

thanks that would check out, the damage different doesnt seem to be as high as I would expect it to be if the flat void damage was added but still some slight damage increase.

[rapid rose]

Do Enemy Modifiers in Mono carry into the 'boss' fights on the 3rd mission? Lagon is really testing this ungeared build and I messed up by not fighting his girlfriend yesterday and now I got to fight him again.

err, the better question may be if Bosses are considered 'Rare' or not?

[candid elm]

I believe Penetration does work on DoTs does in this game, unlike in PoE where Penetration only works on hits and not DoTs. Although note that in Last Epoch enemies do not have resistances - unless you took an echo node that says it's gives enemies resistances or if the enemy has a modifier that says it gives them resistance. So outside of those kinds of things, it would just be a damage increase.

You could also get the Blessing from Spirits of Fire for Chance to Shred Fire Resistance - again it would just be a damage increase.

[haughty basin]

@candid elm anyways thanks for the answer

[candid elm]

Yes the echo mods do apply to the boss fight. For the ones like "enemies enrage at 50%", it's best to wear those down before the boss.

[acoustic thicket]

When the game fully realises will all my characters become offline characters ?

[quiet sandal]

No. The devs do not plan to have any online character resets, wipes, or transfers

[bright sky]

is there a particularly good way/place to farm Crystal Swords?

[candid elm]

No, your currently online characters will still be online.

In the future, they are going to add Season/League content they're going to call Cycles. If you're interested in playing in that, you'll make a new character in that Cycle. When the Cycle ends, that character would be moved into the "standard" section with your other online characters.

[elder coral]

What do you get for that season gear?

[forest vapor]

either dungeons with 'exalted weapon' dropchance, or soul bastion on extra swords day (t4 swords day is in ... eight days)

[bright sky]

oh wow, didn't know there were rotations for items in Soul Bastion

[forest vapor]

its the only place you can target some specific slots and weapon types. but not all, there's no wand or daggers day afaik

[bright sky]

are there tricks to crafting I don't know yet that would make it worth trying with white/blue items?

[forest vapor]

well, glyph of hope has 25% chance to save fp, there is always the chance of a lucky streak if you have more hope glyphs and shards than you will ever otherwise use

using a rune of discovery on white items for your class may sometimes pop up affixes with rare shards, like + skill etc, which you can then removal/shatter off

i mean what else you going to do with discovery runes

or just chaos level up what discovery gives you, if its stuff with excess shards, just to see if you get a better affix at a higher tier

[bright sky]

I think I've used like 3, haha

[forest vapor]

it takes luck to make a white/blue item into a usable item simply because they start with such low FP

[bright sky]

yeah, that was my suspicion

[forest vapor]

but yeah, that's all i can think of.. discovery runes/chaosing just to make it pop some of the rare shards your class may want to use

if its on some class-specific item

similarly if a rare drops on a base you want but every affix is garbo, as long as they are not all tier 5 you can have a crack at chaosing them into something good, pretty early on you end up with more chaos than you can realistically use

like for a while there i was mangling every single hollow blade that dropped, just on the off chance i would get lucky and the rolls would turn into what i wanted

but no - hide whites and blues in your filter unless they have affixes you want shards of, you wont miss much.

[bright sky]

kk

[forest vapor]

also, despair glyphs - very useful for making real good items/saving a potential base. tier 1 will always seal (on a purple with filled affixes), t2 about 50%, t3 25%, t4 12%.. very roughly

so if you see a thing that could be great if not for that one affix, you dont always have to just chaos it and hope, if its good enough to spend a despair on it's quite valid to seal off a useless affix so you can put on something you want, if you think the thing has enough FP to let you tier 5 it

and if you are crafting a real gg item that you wear two of (dual wield, rings etc), dont feel you need to use up all the FP if you end up with some leftover, because you can always dupe-rune it later to wear two or to have one as legendary fodder

[bright sky]

so 100% if it's currently at t1 and I choose that shard and Despair?

[forest vapor]

i think so

but you need all other affixes filled, and exalted item

that gives you best chance and i think that is where those figures come from. i cant recall failing to seal a T1 under those conditions so far but its not like i've done dozens, so..

[bright sky]

right right...that sounds like a good guideline - 3 good affixes, 1 bad

[forest vapor]

they are pretty rare though so i would save them until you have the option to craft the really good option for the slot

like, have it on the right base, with well rolled implicits (if it matters for that base), and so on

you'll find more nice bases than despair glyphs, probably

also, there are some affixes you can seal off at t1 and still get a lot of benefit out of, so you do that to max the item rather than to free up an affix

like, skills : they are at least +1 at tier 1. ailment cleanse on potion use is still 100% chance at t1, and is excellent on a belt.

chance to chill, chance to frail - they only stack up to three times anyway so if you are hitting a moderate amount you only need a few percent chance of these (ie T1) to have a good chance to keep stacks up

.. this has gone far beyond your original question, but i hope some of that was useful lol

[bright sky]

I have 23 of them, so could maybe start using them a little

mmm yeah those are good thoughts too - thanks!

[vague badge]

is there anything special for getting 20/20 monolith completion atm?

[forest vapor]

seems bugged.

[candid elm]

No

I did it on my first character and then didn't bother doing it again, as it's separate on each character

[faint cape]

T1 seal on an exalted item with 4 affixes is almost guaranteed, but success is never actually guaranteed

[forest vapor]

it'll fail on me eventually, for sure. but its moderately reliable at least.

[dry sail]

finished campaign at lvl 50 something. to get to 100, anything other than sloooow leveling in monolith?

[faint cape]

Monolith is the best way. Yes, leveling slows down. There's no real need to hit 100

[dry sail]

thx

[forest vapor]

you can try arena, if your build runs it easily

might feel good for a couple of levels but it gets boring very quickly

[sacred carbon]

is there a way to stop the freezing mid lunge glitch for the sentinel class

because I'm trying to finish the abomination boss for the first monolith and it keeps killing me

[forest vapor]

i think it is to do with attacking/using skills mid lunge..? i cant be certain, sorry, but maybe worth having a go and paying attention to if it still happens if you definitely are not spamming other stuff mid lunge

other than that.. time for shield rush

[sacred carbon]

Yeah this boss fight just sucks anyways the only potions that spawn I cant even grab because theyre in the floor

[dawn otter]

Is there any reason to run higher tier soulfire bastion?

[forest vapor]

hm where are you dying on the abom boss

[rare bobcat]

is it silly not to use the mastery abillity when choosing a mastery? for instance i prefer to curse and move as a necro. closest to that style presently is lich but i have no interest in lich form. is it severely gimping not to use the "class ability" or big ability for a specific mastery?

[forest vapor]

you know the mechanics right, and how most of the floor becomes DoT after you bust the soul containers

[forest vapor]

no thats fine, absolutely - its not like necro mastery ability is even that strong, its 50% increased, not more, damage anyway

you are not leaving too much on the table there imho

and necro is strong anyway, you are fine.

[rare bobcat]

okay cool. wasnt sure.

[forest vapor]

never hurts to ask

[fathom glacier]

I’m saving my glyphs of despair for exalted items only, I’m lvl 100 and only have found 12 and I pick up 100% of the shards and runes that drop

[sacred carbon]

yeah I figured that part out its more that I use the lunge to put distance between us and it does that almost every time

The lunge also put me inside the soul thing so I usually get hit by that beam

[warped stirrup]

What the difrrence between arena key and arena key of memory?

[candid elm]

Better and more loot. The boss also has other uniques that you can possibly get on different tiers.

[candid elm]

The memory one starts higher

[amber obsidian]

How would I go about removing or changing the melee crit chance or minion spell damage?

Oh sick I used a glyph of chaos and got cast speed

[forest vapor]

lucky

well for future ref : your options are chaos if its not t5 yet (last resort for an important craft imho unless the pool is real limited), seal it off if its t1 or t2, or t3 or higher if you feel lucky, or rune of removal with hope glyph and pray real hard it doesnt eat the purple,. which it will, because it's biased to do that

despair glyphs are very rare though so i would not usually do that unless it is a very good upgrade/item or unless i found a bunch of them lately

[vague badge]

It tells you the difference right on the keye

[candid elm]

If the affix is T1-4, you can try Glyph of Chaos - which upgrades to next Tier and changes it. Or Despair to upgrade and attempt to Seal it, which moves the affix to a special sealed slot opens up the mod slot for you to craft something else there. Despair is more likely to Seal lower Tiers and as they are rarer, it's best to save for good items. These both need and use Forging Potential.

If the affix is T5+, the only option is Rune of Removal. Which removes a random affix. This needs and uses Forging Potential, but you can use Glyph of Hope with Removal.

[faint cape]

Removals are no longer biased toward higher tier affixes. It just feels much more painful when you're not just going for shards, lol

[forest vapor]

whaaa? seriously?

man did i piss RNGesus off that much because it hasnt felt like that lately.

pardon me if i go confirm that elsewhere, i really thought it still had bias

[faint cape]

It was changed whenever they changed from instability to forging potential, should be in the patch notes for that. Can't remember what update number that was, though

[forest vapor]

really, its not even recent? guess it's real easy to get misinformed, thank you that's good to know

like... actually quite important for crafting decisions

ok now go answer my question in main too, that one will bug me otherwise lol

[candid elm]

0.8.4 https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/eternal-legends-beta-0-8-4-patch-notes/45588
Edit: correction, it was in 0.8.2
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/beta-0-8-2-patch-notes/37724
It's in the Items - Other Changes section

Runes of Removal now have an equal chance to pick each affix on an item to remove, regardless of tiers.

[forest vapor]

even better, receipts! thanks goat

oh its only been this way for two years, its understandable i didnt know >_>

.. actually im not seeing that in there?

wrong notes?

or just blind on my part

this patch on RoR is the 'gives shards back' by the looks of it

not that i disbelieve you on how RoR works now, i dont think i am being gaslit ah ha

[candid elm]

@forest vapor sorry, the patch Toast mentioned was 0.8.4, but it happened earlier. 0.8.2 https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/beta-0-8-2-patch-notes/37724
It's in the Items - Other Changes section

Runes of Removal now have an equal chance to pick each affix on an item to remove, regardless of tiers.

[forest vapor]

thank you very much, i appreciate you doing the digging

best goat i've met in recent memory 👍

[faint cape]

Glorious! Thank you, I'm at work right now, so was struggling to pull an exact reference lol

[candid elm]

You're welcome

[candid elm]

Thank you for mentioning it

[wanton flame]

how does -crit chance modifier on maps work?
is it flat -% or multiplier?
as example, i have 80% crit chance and -35% on map, will it be 45%(80-35) or 52%(80*.65)?

[thick oasis]

hello guys, can you help me with a craft? I'm kinda new

I play spin to win and just found this:

Ideally I'd like to change the first affix to strength

how should I go about this?

am I correct that first I should try to seal that affix and if that fails, then use glyph of chaos and hope for str?

or is there a better way?

[candid elm]

If the affix is T1-4, you can either try Glyph of Chaos - which upgrades to next Tier and changes it to a different random affix. Or try Glyph of Despair to upgrade to next Tier and attempts to Seal it - which moves the affix to a special sealed slot opens up that affix for you to craft something else there. Despair is more likely to Seal lower Tiers and as they are rarer, it's best to save for good items. These both need and use Forging Potential.

If the affix is T5+, the only option is Rune of Removal. Which removes a random affix. This needs and uses Forging Potential, but you can use Glyph of Hope with Removal to try and negate the FP cost.

[thick oasis]

okay, thank you. I think I'll keep this until I find a Glyph of Despair as I don't currently have one

the smelters wrath damage that it has in tier3 so I hopefully have a bit of chance of success

[raw coyote]

Playing WP VK, I still can't figure out why i'm losing big chunks of my mana. it's not when the echo knights spawn

[acoustic thicket]

What's everyone's issue with free form respec on skill specialization passives and their arguments that it will ruin build diversity?

If anything it expands what builds can do and player freedom with builds like this game advocates. But no we're locked into the mentality a build can do excellent single target to clear monolith bosses and dungeon bosses AND do good speed/form of clear for echos.. This narrows builds down heavily to a tiny meta. Some builds can do this easily while others are only excellent in 1 area and the other is mediocre.

Again for my own example:

I use a LB sorc with elemental nova on TP, flame ward+ascendance. Convergance on LB is the ST passive that gets swapped out or into whether or not you wanna boss or clear. The build later on with enough cast speed can do somewhat clear with convergance locked in which makes it so chains are only done on 1 target at a time. But once you take it out it becomes a OP clear skill.

Currently I'm stuck leaving 1 point ready to pop into convergance for monolith bosses or dungeon bosses with the build due to it's poor/unappealing clear speed with convergance put in.

Other builds exist just like this where 1-2 points in a spec skill reshapes how the entire build plays and it should be free choice for us when we need it to spec into spec skill passives without the need to RE LEVEL to get points back. If you've leveled a skill to 20 and char is 100 you should gain the ability to respec any skill spec points whenever you want.

[vague badge]

One argument (not necessarily my own) is that allowing players to respec instantly and for free encourages gameplay where you are playing suboptimally if you dont respec for every specific zone you go into whether that be monos, bosses, dungeons, arena, etc. Some dev choices are aimed at "protecting players from themselves" as sometimes players will optimize the fun out of their game.

I dont know if that applies here, but it is a common reason devs give in other games for not allowing complete freedom in game.

[acoustic thicket]

Well currently the players have already begun optimizing the fun out of the game posting and designing builds straight out of PoE like the LB sorc. It's only form of clear is turned into a single target only skill and the answer to clear is just stack cast speed up to near 200% while buffed to clear trash in echos. The whole fun of LB is chains and becoming palpatine slamming lightning everywhere. But when you get to bosses and bosses ONLY, not rares or other stuff you just hit like a wet noodle unless you spec into that 1 point lol

So I hope at least for LB sorc this gets changed. Other issues like this persist with other builds as well but at least on classes like primalists or acolyte we have skills that we can spec into that doesnt break the build and can become a clear skill and have good damage even for bosses.

[true echo]

are blessings weighted or something? been farming 100 corr Lagon for so many times, never see lightning shred

[forest vapor]

you might need 200 for that one? i dont know if any are gated but it would not surprise me

nope your just is just.. shocking.

[acoustic thicket]

Farming it on 200+ gets more chance to see it at least

[true echo]

kinda need that blessing before I can handle 200 corr :/

[acoustic thicket]

Im in the same boat xD

[faint cape]

It doesn't affect your crit chance at all, technically. It's crit avoidance and functions identically to the stat you can get yourself (when an incoming hit would be a crit, it rolls against avoidance, and if it fails then it's a non-crit hit)

[faint cape]

Probably proccing abyssal echoes

[wanton flame]

and how does it roll?
again is it flat or multiplier? i wanna try to scale crit over 100% to have less problems with crit avoidance

[faint cape]

I think the simplest answer is just that constraints are required to make character building interesting

[faint cape]

Just rolls against the avoidance chance. Going over 100% crit chance does nothing for you

[wanton flame]

oh ok thanks

[faint cape]

You can 'shred' a bit of crit avoidance if you are able to apply the crit vulnerability debuff - that's the only counter to it (aside from just not overstacking those crit avoid modifiers)

[faint cape]

Technically, they are slightly weighted because the first slot has a different pool from the rest, but in each slot the blessing pick is unweighted

[wanton flame]

look at modifiers? what next, read the quests?🤣 😉

[rare bobcat]

do we know anything about warlock? style or release date?

[faint cape]

Shred will give you like 20% more damage, max. You definitely shouldn't require it to push up to 200

[vague badge]

I wish more build guides had a little "leveling build" section because almost every guide I look up only shows level 100 maxed out stats/gear and while I get that is the endgame, there is a lot of game before that too hehe

[faint cape]

We do know all the remaining classes are coming with 1.0, which is (probably really optimistically) planned by the end of this year

[rare bobcat]

i see. and no info on mechanics?

[faint cape]

Nothing official. Even the old removed mastery selection lore text stuff is not set in stone

[rare bobcat]

all good. thanks for the answers.

curious if it will be like a curse mastery or what

[silk wedge]

anyone ever get a bug where you can't die? I feel like it happens to me a lot unless i'm missing something.

[stark scaffold]

Ok so i have my main char which i did the story on but cba to do that on my 2 alts i got them both to lvl 25 and i heard you dont need to do story after that. what would be the best way to go abouts leveling them now? do i just do monos from end of time?

[quartz blaze]

Do spirit wolves work if you converted wolves into squirrels?

[amber obsidian]

Is there a testing enviroment/ target dummy?

[candid elm]

From Swipe? Yes

[buoyant sinew]

though IIRC they are still wolves not squirrels

[desert tree]

How does that work with guaranteed crit?

[buoyant sinew]

there are target dummies in the area before the arena in chapter 7

[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.

[desert tree]

You will still need to do some bits of the campaign for your idols and passives

[candid elm]

If you have guaranteed crit, I read somewhere that guaranteed crit is just actually just 100% crit chance. So if an enemy has crit avoidance - like from an echo modifier, you're then not guaranteed to crit

For the player, if you reach 100% crit avoidance, then you're good. You will not be crit.

[candid elm]

It's up to you. I personally stick with the campaign until I have 15/15 passives and 8/8 idols. Which you'll hit in chapter 7 after you get the Lance. That usually puts me in the 40s and the first monolith is area level 58.

But you can go into the monoliths as soon as you reach End of Time

[forest vapor]

100% or near-100% 'less bonus damage from crits', only on 2H weapons, is also an alternative there

[stark scaffold]

alr

[forest vapor]

sometimes a suffix on a 2hander build can be pretty free, so its worth remembering that is an option

since it can free up two or three affix slots and/or a crit avoid blesing

[faint cape]

Crit avoidance is only rolled on an incoming crit, so if you have guaranteed crit, it just always rolls against against crit avoid and can be avoided like any other crit

[opal holly]

Heavenfire in paladin passives says +30 spell damage at rank 10.. doesn't seem like much for 10 points, am I missing something?

[vague badge]

that +damage scales with all the percentage based damage and bonuses

[restive wasp]

Does anyone know if the Turbulence node on Maelstrom (Primalist) scales past the 60 Attunement required to double the value? Like, does going to 70 Attunement provide any extra benefit?

[candid elm]

You'd keep getting the +% damage per point of Attunement

[restive wasp]

Ah... That explains why I felt some damage fall-off when I changed my helmet out for one with no attunement

[quiet shard]

Any suggestions on how to best manage stash space? I have a broad interest in builds and with 28 tabs I'm struggling to figure out what exalt rolls to get rid of lol. Same thing with idols.

[candid elm]

For Idols, after I had plenty, I started just keeping ones that were decently well rolled.

You can make that cut off whatever you want. Example, maybe the range is 1-10. So you start only keeping ones that are 5-10. Later you could instead do 7-10, etc etc.

You also can have up to something like 200 stash tabs, so there's lots of space.

[vague badge]

do the small idols ever roll higher tiers of bonuses?

[worthy plover]

No dots can crit right? Like poison, frostbite, ignite, bleed etc.

[faint cape]

For reference, most spells have base damage equivalent to +20 spell damage

[faint cape]

No, idol affixes don't have tiers

[vague badge]

well it says t1

[faint cape]

Right, DOT can't crit

[worthy plover]

Thanks Father Toast

[faint cape]

Yeah, they do say that, but it's kinda just there. Might have more use when they eventually expand the idol system

[fair talon]

do these interact in any way?

[quiet shard]

Yeah, it's more a problem of me struggling to keep up with gold to keep buying tabs at the moment lol. I also have like 30 keys for the Lightless Arbor that I've never used because ai don't have the spare gold to dump into it.

[tranquil edge]

is multiplayer not working ?

cant add a friend for some reason

[vague badge]

are you both online characters? are you both the same difficulty setting? are either of you playing solo self found?

[faint cape]

Nothing special, attack speed still affects animation times

[vague badge]

does Throne of Ambition drop from any version of stolen lance or do I need to do it empowered and/or at a certain corruption level?

[zinc anchor]

Lastepochtools.com doesn't say a specific empowered or corruption level so I assume any

it's just rare

[quartz blaze]

does "covert crit multi to X" make you lose the crit multi? or is the pen an extra added bonus?

[quick geyser]

Converted = it now does this instead

[rich valley]

On the Doublet of Onus Tull, when it says minion have 40% Bleed chance, does this mean they have a 40% chance to cause bleeding, or a 40% chance to start bleeding on hit?

[native sail]

on hit = apply on hitting something
When hit = when it gets hit

[zinc anchor]

I don't think that answered his question, but...it would be pretty useless if it made your minions bleed, wouldn't it? That should answer the question...

[native sail]

I mean

It does though

Apply bleed on hit

[zinc anchor]

nvm lol

[restive wasp]

Is there a reliable way to farm relics? I'm going crazy trying to get a decent Spirit Catcher for my Druid

[light niche]

It technically does answer his question, just phrased it differently than the original question

Bleed on hit means the minions cause bleed, they don’t get bleed on themselves on hit

[zinc anchor]

No, it does not answer the question. Uniques do uniqe things and have unique effects, this could very easily do something that no other "normal" item in the game does

[west vapor]

pick the grand blessing up from the stolen lance timeline called grand slumber of morditas which applies a (30%-60%) increased relic drop rate

[west vapor]

are you in empowered monoliths yet

[native sail]

You're right. And what this does is give you a non-Primalist exclusive item to give minions bleed!

[hasty scaffold]

is it a bug that when you die and return to monolith map, that the mods apply twice, thrice, and quadrouple times each time you return? (keep dying due to fucking lag, i'd freeze and the enemies just keep attacking and then i'd rubberband)

[zinc anchor]

That sounds like a bug, but maybe try relogging. I had weird stuff happen the other day (even offline) and relogging fixed it

[restive wasp]

Yup... 143 is my highest corruption so far

[west vapor]

pick the grand blessing up from the stolen lance timeline called grand slumber of morditas which applies a (30%-60%) increased relic drop rate

[restive wasp]

Ahhh. I'll go get that... Thanks!

[stable briar]

does a skill like Flame Reave scale off of ALL elemental damage bonuses, or only melee elemental damage bonuses?

[west vapor]

one of the things i love about the way this game is designed is the clarity of details such as that

if you mouse over the skill on your bar it will show scaling tags

[serene marsh]

Does Pebble's set give +42 damage to all elements if your resists are all equal?

a la Wise Oak in PoE

[forest vapor]

elemental would cover subdivisions of elemental (ie melee, spell etc) : so yes

[stable briar]

cool cool :3

[forest vapor]

and if you are not sure, put on and take off a bunch of +ele dam gear and hit the dummies, see how the numbers change

but yeah - elemental DoT affix scales so high because it is very specific

elemental damage scales lower because it is quite nonspecific

[zinc anchor]

Whether it does or not it would be much harder to achieve that than you think. Why? Because your resistances aren't flat numbers. They're decimals that are rounded. You might think you have 62% fire and 62% cold but really you have 61.8423% fire and 62.3439% cold

But I'm sure it doesn't easy, and it's real easy to test lol Just take off all your gear and attack a dummy, then put on 1 piece that gives resistance and do it again

If you test it though and it does let me know because that's extremely OP and I'm gonna do it lol

[serene marsh]

Oof yeah the decimal thing makes it hard. I was thinking of just using +ele resist gear but the set items each have their own resists

[hasty scaffold]

is this good for anything?

[zinc anchor]

Oh yeah forgot about that

[forest vapor]

yes that is pretty good, hang onto it

[dry sail]

is the level of drops in monolith determined by the monolith level or charcter level?

[edgy furnace]

hey, i was wondering: does "chance to summon a sigil of hope on kill" counts as "Cast", triggering the perk "incresaed melee dmg after a sigil was cast" ?

@dry sail as far as i noticed its the area lvl determinging what ilvl u get

[dry sail]

makes sense, thx

[clear ivy]

so in dungeon i get this door second time do i need to find another one to fight boss ?? or i need to go thru them few times ??

[unreal hinge]

do the crits from shrapnel off of meteor proc harbinger of stars and therefore more meteors? and to shrapnels tend to hit the primary target of meteor?

[sleek sluice]

you go through two doors after second door you get to boss room door

[rugged sinew]

also there are usually 2 doors with different modifiers to the rewards in each area
so you gotta decide which one you go through

[faint cape]

No, I believe theoretically if you were able to achieve that, you only get the cold damage.

[smoky osprey]

Hello! I have a question about which would give me better damage when i forge:

1. flat +bow physical dmg
2. physical dmg % increase

im using a multishot build

[faint cape]

No, anything meteor cannot proc more meteors. Pretty sure the shrapnel does spawn at the center of the meteor, so yes it should usually hit the same target

[faint cape]

Probably flat damage, but it depends on the total flat damage and increased damage you already have (you just want more of whatever you have less of)

[smoky osprey]

ah i see, then i guess the safer bet would be to usually go the flat dmg route aye

[dry sail]

i see there is "spell critical chance multiplier" and "critical chance multiplier" . why are there 2? does regular crit accept everything and spell crit only skills with spell tag? do they stack on spells?

[faint cape]

yeah, usually increased damage is easier to get a lot of compared to other scaling

[faint cape]

Yes, exactly. Also, because spell crit chance is more specific, it rolls higher numbers on gear vs generic crit chance

[dry sail]

makes sense. thanks

[clear ivy]

hmm this leech in fire bastion is easy even in t4

i should make those dungeons earlier

[edgy furnace]

does "chance to summon a sigil of hope on kill" counts as "Cast", triggering the perk "incresaed melee dmg after a sigil was cast" ?

[rugged kernel]

I dont think it counts towards casting cause u aren't hitting the skill to cast it

But if u have instant cast 🤷‍♂️

[onyx nymph]

I am trying to get peak of the mountain with LP (Drops from lightless arbor) . I have had 7 drop from doing tier 1 but none have LP. should I be doing more difficult dungeon tiers or should I keep going because it is a low drop chance?

[faint cape]

Definitely do the highest tier you can. Higher helm drop rate and higher LP chance when it does drop.

[onyx nymph]

i was under the impression that it only dropped from tier 1. damn seems like i was wasting time then

[faint cape]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/dungeons/lightless-arbor/boss-uniques

We have exact % drop rates for dungeon bosses for some reason; also the higher area level is what results in the higher LP chance

[onyx nymph]

Ah damn I looked at LET but only to check the level for LP and I missed the next section

thanks for your help

[cloud nacelle]

What is a relatively tanky class in game from talents? I want to try and make a weird unique build with some crafting done right.

[candid elm]

Druid is pretty tanky. Has a lot of Passives for damage reduction and Endurance

[cloud nacelle]

I want to make like a chad tank thorns (reflected damage) build lol. just for some memes

[faint cape]

Pretty much the only way to go with thorns is spriggan form and attunement stacking with that shield

Spriggan form isn't locked to druid, but might be your best option anyway

[candid elm]

The shield that Toast was referring to is the unique Thornshell, if you're interested in that: https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAwRmCYGYHYg

[cloud nacelle]

I think I will farm out some gear first and do a build planner before starting to level a character for it. Thank you guys!

[dry sail]

ne1 else get stuck on loading screen 1st time entering an Echo after launching the game?

Penetration has no cap

[worldly pivot]

that's what she said

[soft rock]

Hi, what are these blue outlines around the Blessings I have?

Do they not work until they're "charged"...?

[worldly pivot]

It's how high your roll is i think

[forest vapor]

thats how high it rolled

if its a full circle - perfect roll

basically no circle - worst possible roll

just for quick reference you can see if you need to farm up a better version of any of your blessings

[soft rock]

O lol

[worldly pivot]

what are drop chances for an apathy's maw in empowered monoliths?

[fresh aspen]

Pretty common I would say pass 200 c

200 corruption

On empowered 100 kinda rareish

[untold sail]

if i upgrade an item to a unique, does it still have the same required level?

[fresh aspen]

How do u upgrade an item to a unique

[worldly pivot]

cool, just started emp monos so a bit more to go then!

[fresh aspen]

Tough luck getting an apathys maw with melee crit affix on it though

[worldly pivot]

rare drop?

[untold sail]

? pls xD

[fresh aspen]

How do u upgrade to a unique

No one gets the question

[untold sail]

rune of ascendance

[fresh aspen]

It's just changing the item to a unique

You lose the item completely

And all uniques have their own fix level

[untold sail]

aaaah ok, that already answered another question xD

[fresh aspen]

xD

[untold sail]

dang, i thought it kinda stays the same kind of wand, but its any wand. well xD

[acoustic thicket]

Hey everyone. Does anyone know if this is just a visual bug or its a real bug that halves my stats for a split second ?

[untold sail]

the game is trolling me. i made a lightning mage, now made some uniques... ALL except for one are fire and that one ... its necrotic dmg xD

[quartz blaze]

is the rampage rubberbanding a known issue? its so annoying

bear charge

[faint cape]

Looks like just a display thing with everything dropping to 0 like that, unless you have some specific mechanic that could cause that

[forest vapor]

just contempt stacks refreshing, by the looks of it

if you watch your stats as the dread shade is draining the abom, you'll see that keep happening as they tick up as the more-buff-per-missing-hp node kicks in more and more

so while it looks like it is dropping off for a second, we can probably assume that is just a visual glitch when it updates changed figures

[desert tree]

Are tapping the key or keep pressing?
There is that bug with channeled movement skills

[subtle patrol]

Is Ironclad beetle working as intended? I have noticed that transforming snap shots my human form stats converting that dodge to armor. While transformed and using armed blade slash, Slither from the serpent strike increases dodge rating, how ever non of this converts to armor.

[vernal zodiac]

Stupid question but im completely new -> if i play hammer throw, does it even scale with more melee phys dmg or +melee xxx dmg on the weapon?

[desert tree]

No only phys dmg and +throwing dmg, you can find them on gloves belt ring

[vernal zodiac]

Thx! So the melee dmg on weapons is a stat i can completely ignore and only focus on attack speed/other mods?

[desert tree]

Yes

[vernal zodiac]

okay ty

[safe harness]

For whatever reason, the converted dodge doesn’t get bonuses from dodge but from armor. I think it’s the only conversion that works like this

[subtle patrol]

That is confusing cause the way it is worded makes it sound like all dodge even dodge you gain while in form should be altered to armor.

[safe harness]

Oops that’s what I meant

I got confused which way the conversation was going

Ok I don’t know now

[subtle patrol]

currently it does not alter any dodge gained while in form, at least form what I am experiencing and I have been way weaker then I was thinking I was

[faint cape]

Are you actually dodging hits? I know similar conversions have trouble displaying in the character sheet, but still work

!bug

[ripe brook]

Please post bug reports on our forum: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports. Thanks!

[copper dust]

ye sorry

[subtle patrol]

After walking through and testing the node it adds your flat dodge in human form to armor like this (flat armor x %armor) + flat dodge converted to armor and snapshots it. Any dodge gained in swarmblade form just goes to your dodge and if it is high enough you will dodge. The problem was I didn't understand this and had very low armor and would get 2 shotted when dodge failed.

[subtle patrol]

[ruby stirrup]

Which class/specialization is best for poison DOT speed builds?

[faint cape]

I don't know if there really is a clear cut "best", but generally Beastmaster, Druid, Lich, Necromancer, Bladedancer, and Marksman are the poison-related classes

[ruby stirrup]

I was thinking a minion necromancies might be good but not as fast as I’m hoping for. Plus I don’t quite understand if an item that has % increased poison damage gives that damage to my minions as well or only me

[candid elm]

Feel free to ask questions you have here as well

[faint cape]

Minions only get stats that say minions

[ruby stirrup]

Okay

[candid elm]

It needs to say minion on it for it to work on your minions

[faint cape]

and yeah, DOT builds and minion builds both typically have slower clearspeed, so combining them I guess makes it even slower

that said, you'd probably want Lich, Bladedancer, or Marksman so you aren't relying on minions at all

you could certainly make good non-minion poison builds out of the others too, but they do lean toward at least including minions in some way

[ruby stirrup]

I just remember having so much fun with a toxic poison dot chicken build in Diablo that just sped through everything being so much fun in D3 that maybe there was something similar in LE that might give me a similar thrill

[faint cape]

there are both bleed and ignite bee builds which are fun/silly, but they are definitely not zoomy

[ruby stirrup]

Maybe I’ll give the bladedancer a shot

[patent summit]

Compared to the build you're referring to in D3 nothing in LE is that fast. In general mobility is a lot more reigned in than D3's insanity.

[vernal zodiac]

and D3 wasnt even that mobiler compared to modern POE

[ruby stirrup]

I admit it was stupid fast and I’m not looking for something that nuts just something where I can clear an area quickly with DOT without having to stick around and wait for the mob to die

So “chance to bleed on hit” would only apply to the minion if it said minion in it correct?

[patent summit]

Yes

[mystic shore]

In your loot filter you want 'shared bleed chance on hit' affix under class specifc / acolyte - so on helmet or chest

[faint cape]

You can clear without waiting for the mobs to die with stuff like vinebear (not exactly a DOT build), spirit plague, infernal shade, and similar. You will have to backtrack to pick up items, though

[nova finch]

anyone having trouble logging in?

well, loading in? I'm stuck at the loading screen for multiple characters

[rugged sinew]

Did you download the new patch?

[nova finch]

Yes, it said it downloaded today. I'll verify the integrity of the files I guess

[restive wasp]

Does Throne of Ambition work on ability hits like Maelstrom or Entangling Roots? Or is it just limited to actual hits like with Swipe?

[buoyant sinew]

I'm not sure what you mean by "ability hits" vs "actual hits" as there is no distinction like this. the hit from Entangling Roots is just as much of a hit as the hit from Swipe. Maelstrom is a pure damage over time skill which does not hit, so it won't gain stacks from that.

[restive wasp]

Fair enough. Some games like to differentiate spell damage and melee damage so I wasn't sure. I realised the ticks from Maelstrom do count after I posted the question

[desert tree]

There is a difference between melee and spell, hit and dot. You can have melee dot, melee hit, spell hit and spell dot.

And ailments

[faint cape]

Yep, just bear in mind also that maelstrom does 'snapshot', so each cast will only benefit from the stacks you had up at time of casting. That, and DOTs like the main mechanic of maelstrom won't help you build or maintain Throne stacks

[broken galleon]

does spriggan count as a totem?

[fresh aspen]

Nope, totems are totems

Minions counts for totems and minions

Totems is only for totems

[cerulean olive]

what a fucking piece of shit update system

i died on HC to invisible mobs. and also i couldnt quit the game or cast any abilities

cuz steam forced me to download the new update. cba

[fresh aspen]

another fallen soldier

[cerulean olive]

spent 600 hours gearing my char on HC SSF

died to update

fuck u

how does it work. why all the mobs can kill me and become invisible

and why my char cant cast a single spell

do they restore characters?

[fresh aspen]

Nope, only self impose rules

Just keep playing as softcore

[cerulean olive]

whats the point to play on sc

where u can die 100 times and still do all the content

fuck im so mad

[fresh aspen]

Becos some people don't wanna be mad and die to random shit on a beta game

[cerulean olive]

they all died to game bugs

[wanton flame]

It's maelstrom node.
No nodes in the skill tree affect its damage, right?

[fresh aspen]

Yeap

Lightning is its own thing

You can buff it on ur passive tree

[faint cape]

Right, like the Alt (gray, in LETools) text says. Things that specifically call out the lightning still affect it though, of course, like the nodes right behind this one.

[fresh aspen]

It doesn't affect dmg but it cast more

[jolly shell]

Lightning is trash

Booty cheeks even

[faint cape]

It's free extra hits, not really that bad tbh

[tight jacinth]

anyone know where to see the rotation for the bonuses in the dungeons?

As a Druid, when you transform into spriggan and mana turns to rage, does mana regen still effect rage or no? Anyone know?

no it doesn't

[amber void]

i have a question about the class exclusive affixes, do they only work for that specific class or it's exclusive because it can only be added to the class exclusive equipment (Helmet, body armor and relics)?

[forest vapor]

other classes just cant put on the gear that those affixes can go on

you can class-lock a legendary item by putting a class affix on it, though.

[acoustic thicket]

What should I do if I traded a piece of unique gear to my husband and he didn't receive it? It's not in my inventory or my stash. It doesn't appear in his gift inventory at all

[sterile widget]

First thing, both of you should restart steam, verify game files and log back in. There are some issues with invisible gear, which is only visual

Before you start new game session, copy your player log files

[acoustic thicket]

I already restarted my game without copying my player log files >.<

[sterile widget]

All good. It should have a player-prev.log file.

https://support.lastepoch.com

[acoustic thicket]

Where are those located at?

[sterile widget]

If the issue persists after restart you can raise a support ticket as the team takes data loss really seriously

Go to the site and search player log

It has the location on a support article 🙂

Sorry I don't have direct link. I'm on my phone 😄

[acoustic thicket]

No worries. Thank you!

[upbeat seal]

Is the unplayable lag and bandwith fixed or better in multiplayer ?

[foggy totem]

Anyone saw / remember that good reddit post where the question was something like "things you thought worked in one way yet it turns out they don't". Comments were full of quality information left and right and people were sharing so many cool things about some builds it was amazing how many things we took for granted (and were wrong).

Anyways, on a side note, in that thread (lol) I believe I remembered that there are two nodes on Devouring Orb which make Void Knight's life much easier and somewhere in there was burried a mention that DO can be used to auto-spawn Abyssal Echoes in a was similar to how Void Cleave can do it... so I'm after that if it's true at all, since I don't see it on any node. Thanks in advance.

[clever jay]

if something says it gives " global damage " is bleed poison etc effected by it also? skill in question.

[sinful laurel]

Yes

[warm jackal]

Hi! Cant enter the game after the last update, staying at loading screen without progress. Anybody see this?

[forest vapor]

if there ever was a way to do this, i do not believe there is now. im not even sure DO ever spawned AE, the hits could be used to proc the damage pop though.. perhaps this is what was being referred to?

[hasty scaffold]

does vaions charriot boots work for movement skills if they've been converted to traversal skills?

[hasty scaffold]

goddammit i'm getting invisible enemies in arena

[dusky vale]

Does endurance reduce damage to ward? e.g. Low Life build with high ward, would the affect of endurance damage reduction carry over to my ward?

[zinc anchor]

Nope unfortunately 😦

[native sail]

No, it would be extremely overpowered

[broken galleon]

does increase bow physical damage increase bleed damage over time for marksman?

[dusky vale]

Does physical penetration count toward bleed ticks. or only direct damage abilities?

[desert tree]

Yes

[native sail]

No because bleed isn't bow damage.

[true echo]

[coarse parcel]

any good Lich player wanna give me some tips for a certain build I wanna run over on voice ? I found this build on yt -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtgJGJk6rLg - https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/KBaX06NQ - and am currently lvl 55 but I kinda started dying somewhat now that I'm on low life and would need some tips about how to start out the build from smb that knows Lich better, pm if necessary

[forest vapor]

kind of a miss. generally people want +flat melee crit, or failing that +flat melee void. its not a dead stat by any means but its not usually the ideal outcome.

[cloud nacelle]

Is it better to farm specific uniques on the character you need them on?
It seems like I get the same uniques over and over on my already established character lol.

[forest vapor]

uniques are not class biased, i believe

only regular gear drops

the same common low-level uniques will indeed appear very often

[hasty scaffold]

damn, got teleported to outerspace again 😦

they really need to fix these stupid bugs, every other arena gets fucked this way

[wanton flame]

It's void cleave node, does the damage convert to fire if i take fire convert void cleave node?

[cyan wave]

sorry but what am i doing here? am i losing access to the other if i pick one?

You are choosing the one to unlock next. You can do the timeline quest again to unlock the other one.

there really is no point in unlocking the lower level one

[terse pivot]

Hey guys, could anyone give me a small overview of what each of the dungeons are for? I have tons of keys but not sure where to even begin

[fresh aspen]

do them at ur own time, Skip the arena as they are only there for leaderboard and dont provide good rewards, unless ure hunting for their specific boss drops

@hexed copper exit game and steam, verify game file

Lightless arbor takes a huge amount of gold sink for giant chest full of goodies, Soulfire bastion trades all the soul of monsters u have killed in the dungeon as currency for gambling. Temporal Sanctum allows you to add affixes to a unique with Legendary potential and turn it into a Legendary

@terse pivot

[terse pivot]

@fresh aspenAwesome. Thanks for the info.

[opal magnet]

I submitted a bug report on the website already, but just wondering if anyone else has noticed Rage going down much faster in multiplayer as a werebear? Never switch out in solo game, but in MP rage just falls like a rock. Drop out all the time

[forest vapor]

what keeps rage up? kills?

[wanton flame]

Soulfire is the best way to farm exalted gloves, belts and boots
Temporal Sanctum is not only for legendary runs but also for exalted relics, jewelry, body armor and helmets farm, check modifiers.
Lightless arbor just exists.

[jade badger]

Looking for an advice. Do you guys use loot filter for exalted items?

[wanton flame]

for t7

i recolor them

[opal magnet]

Damage to mobs and if you aren't actively using a skill rage doesn't go down from a skill

[jade badger]

I do the same with T7 (just emphasize). But do you evaluate all exalted, or do you filter some of them out? Maye some bad bases?

[west vapor]

keep in mind that best route is generally go straight through the highest levels you can and get those empowered monos unlocked because then all timelines are unlocked

[faint cape]

Are you talking about online vs offline, or online alone vs online in party? If it's the first, might be build differences. If it's the second, your party members are definitely going to gimp your rage sustain.

[faint cape]

It doesn't say it does, so no

unless the conversion nodes say added damage from the spec tree, but I am pretty sure none of the conversions say that

[marble jungle]

i have 6 wolves with unique helment, but is rare helmet with +3 to wolves skill better?

[manic jackal]

hey guys is there someone available rn to power lvl me please?

In my discord - https://discord.gg/8uEhMAkxHc

[candid elm]

try in #👥┃lfg or ask in the in game chat

[candid elm]

thank you

[west vapor]

AM I better off doing 20% all resist blessing or 60 necrotic

[fresh aspen]

All res and crit avoidance most cost effective

[faint cape]

You get more overall resists from all resist blessing, but a single resist blessing can completely cover that resist. For most builds, I think the single resist saves more of your gear affixes (and in this timeline specifically, the crit avoid saves even more, if you need it).

A long way of saying it's completely build-dependent lol

[west vapor]

thanks

next question

does orobyss scale with the number of gazes you have stocked up or just with the corruption of the current timeline

im only at 123 corruption and im wondering if i should just keep pushing the nodes out until i can hit 200 in one shot

or are the benefits of a couple like 40 corruption jumps as far as gear drops and stuff is more of a benefit

[forest vapor]

just scales with regular modifiers and corruption i believe, nothing to do with number of gazes you have (right?)

the downside of saving up so many gazes, ie to jump to 200C at once, is that if you die to shade that is going to feel pretty bad

[hybrid mesa]

Does intelligence only affect ward retention? I’ve seen some tooltips that suggest it makes some spells more effective but I’m not sure which is accurate..

[hasty scaffold]

so if you have 100% chance to ignite, and rives 3rd attack consumes ignite..... does the 3rd hit consume the ignites first, and then apply the ignite afterwards? or does the 3rd strike ignite then consume the same ignite?

[stray mauve]

any possible ways to improve the rubberbanding or moonwalking? My Jelkor MM is very very senstive to it, to the point of it not being worth playing at the moment.

[wanton flame]

bad base- good legendary😉

[wanton flame]

+1 wolf=20% more damage, calculate how much damage +3 wolfs helmet gives you

[wanton flame]

these two nodes work together

[marble jungle]

120% + 3 nodes

[wanton flame]

I meant if you have five wolves, being able to summon a sixth one gives you 20% more damage

[upbeat nymph]

hi all - quick question if you don't mind .. I've been using Smite to teleport into or around combat .. but it sometimes just doesn't go off - am I suffering spell cast interruption? and if so what's the protection?

[wanton flame]

so if +3 skill gives you the opportunity to take nodes for more than 20% damage, it will be better, plus it can have crit multiplier, hp etc

[flat grail]

Does minion damage increase minion bleed?

[wanton flame]

yes

[flat grail]

in what way?

does it give more stacks?

[wanton flame]

increased bleed damage

[flat grail]

thanks

[wanton flame]

np

[sonic saddle]

view it as just generic increased damage, but for your minion

generic increased damage applies to literally any damage originating from you as a source, so minion damage does the same thing but for your minions

[flat grail]

does minion physical damage do the same

[sonic saddle]

for bleed yes, bleed is physical damage over time, so it's affected by physical damage increases

[sonic saddle]

you might be getting stunned? in which case the answer is generally either get more health or try work around it

[upbeat nymph]

might be yes - but i've also seen a couple of occassions when no fire procc'd - I'll keep an eye on it and see if i can see stuns

bit too feeble to stand there and take it to find out 🙂

[sonic saddle]

well, anything that's stunning you on a life build is generally doing a significant chunk of your HP

so yeah

kinda hard to just sit and tank it

[modern scaffold]

Can I see how much raw damage I do somewhere? For example, I can see how much +% lighting damage I do, but where can I see how much of the various types of damage I do on a melee hit?

[sonic saddle]

you can't unfortunately

[modern scaffold]

Mana strike does 15 base lightning damage. If I increase my lightning damage by 150%, does that mean I now do 37 damage with Mana strike?

[sonic saddle]

ignoring how rounding is dealt with in this game (i don't actually know the rounding methods it uses) yes

assuming you have no other sources of increased, more or added damage

[restive wasp]

The affix on mage gear "%increased spell crit (doubled at 300 max mana)... is this crit multiplier or crit chance?

NVM... Last Epoch Tools clarifies that it's crit chance

[rotund rain]

can anyone link a marksman build that could get me through the first 3 monoliths

[sonic saddle]

prolly better off asking in #🔪┃rogue

[rotund rain]

ty

[west vapor]

anyone have issues uploading cloud save to letools

[faint cape]

You have to math it out, generally speaking. You also cannot exactly trust the stats on your character sheet (like the % increased lightning damage) because they don't account for conditional or more specific modifiers.

[wheat flint]

how much pen can you get before it doesnt matter anymore?

[native sail]

A lot. More than actually feasible.

[wheat flint]

so is it ∞?

[native sail]

Might as well be.

[wheat flint]

dope

[wanton flame]

there are no caps, there are priorities, in order to have maximum efficiency, you need to develop all multipliers evenly

[sinful laurel]

With like a few niche exceptions that can get ~400 pen or more, yup

And then it's not that there are diminishing returns, it's more that your affix budget needs to be other things too

[wanton flame]

it's all about diminishing returns

[faint cape]

Yeah, at its core, penetration is almost the same as "% increased damage" or "+damage". So, if you theoretically had 500% penetration and 300% increased damage, you'd want more increased damage over more pen when you get the choice

[sinful laurel]

Or flat damage, or crit chance, or crit multi, etc

[faint cape]

(which might actually be a real scenario for a frostbite build)

[sinful laurel]

That's where mine is at lol

[wanton flame]

it all depends on value, 200% pen will be still better than 100% increased damage

[cloud nacelle]

After you unlock all the passive and idol points from the campaign on an alt, is there really any reason to finish it out? Can you go straight into mono's

[untold sail]

hmm, i wonder, what does a full respec cost ? is there somewhere a number for that ? i dont mean what it costs to respec one point, i mean all.

[pastel pebble]

Yes

[cloud nacelle]

yes to which part lol

[faint cape]

The only reason for now is to get +1 all attributes from completing the last chapter (9). As the remaining campaign chapters are added, we may see other rewards from those.

[candid elm]

You can go to into the monoliths as soon as you reach End of Time, which is like in your 20s usually.

But yeah I usually wait until I have all the passives and idols before going into the monolith which is usually in the 40s for me.

The other thing from the campaign is when you beat Majasa you get +1 all attributes

could an experienced necro player give this a critical eye for me please?

[grizzled comet]

I’ve played a squirrel BM and a blade dancer to 95-100, what should I play next? Looking for something that scales extremely well and also has fast clear time

[untold sail]

either my questions are always too dumb or too hard xD

[fresh aspen]

I just don't think anyone counted it, it's too cheap to count

I had full respec so many times I haven't counted ones

Cos it was barely a gold sink

xD

[opal magnet]

Any idea if they are going to make multiplayer monolith share progress and share same rewards instead of how it is now?

[untold sail]

ok, so when i have over 100k, im fine ?

[cloud nacelle]

Is there a website that tells you what you could potentially get from rune of ascendance?

[forest vapor]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ascsim

[cloud nacelle]

3% chance out of 1000 runes. sheesh

thank you LOL

[faint cape]

You should be totally fine. Passive respecs costs are pretty much negligible if you don't abuse the system. Nobody can really tell you the exact cost because it depends on your level and how your passives are specifically allocated.

[untold sail]

oh, didnt know the costs were that fine calculated. thanks for elaborating :)

[candid elm]

the earlier passives are less expensive than the later ones. if you have 1 point in a passive it is less expensive to respec than if you're respeccing the 10th point in a passive.

[untold sail]

yeah i know that, so, thats the reason why i asked if someone knows how much it is maximum possible. maybe i phrased badly xD

[candid elm]

but you're going to have a ton of gold. don't worry about the respec costs, they are negligible

the gold sinks in LE is the Lightless Arbor dungeon where you can just throw gold at the vault door and buying stash tabs for gold.

[broken galleon]

does anyone know if bleed pop mechanic on puncture still counts as a DoT, or would it be converted to a hit since it consumes stacks to deal damage immediately?

[untold sail]

ok, i think when 3 ppl tell me that its negligible, im calmed down :D
wanna try fire, while im on lightning and wasnt sure if i could respec back again. i have 178k right now.

oh yeah... the stash EATS money for good. at least now i know why the chests in darksouls are so greedy sometimes, they got fed with gold in LE xD

[faint cape]

Still DOT, it does not change the bleed damage properties in any way

[faint cape]

Yeah, stash tabs for me at this point are around 500k each at this point

and I'm nowhere near the tab limit

[untold sail]

oh wow, that escelates quickly

[supple mantle]

Do gold drops increase dramatically? Not yet in empowered echoes, around level 73 or so.

[fresh aspen]

Not significant enough

[latent canyon]

It does if you climb corruption

That's how I afford 800k stash pages

[faint cape]

Yeah, it does go up quite a bit by the time you hit empowered. I don't pick the gold drop rate blessing, but if you did you'd get substantially more from that, too - likely will be the META for trade faction once that's released

[urban iron]

ah gotcha ty

[pastel pebble]

I can see some builds making use od it still

Its a good base with an alright stat

[zinc anchor]

Is gold going to be used for trade, or might they introduce a new currency?

[native sail]

Gold is the only currency used for trade

[pastel pebble]

What is gonna be the gold standard?

What's gonna stop inflation?

Won't someone think of my stock portfolio??!??!

[faint cape]

In case you're serious, the only thing to hold back inflation in the long-term is the lightless arbor

[west vapor]

what is the best sentinal class

[soft orchid]

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

can anyone give any advice for this build? im having a go making a lightning sorcerer, i want static orb as a shotgunny single target skill and lightning blast as a chain clearing skill

[pastel pebble]

Inbetween Paladin and VK TBH

Very solid damage output, diverse builds, decent survivability

[west vapor]

im trying to find some good planners'

i saw what looked like a spin to win sort of smite casting monstrosity

[sterile widget]

I agree. EHG should let us go into gold debt and charge interest on it at the cash rate. Then, if your accounts gets too far behind, they just start stripping your assets

[west vapor]

how fun is sorcerer

i have a spell blade and it plays more like a fighter class so i may also do a sorc

i have some juicy gear for that class too]

[minor vigil]

sorc is super fun if you can handle the mana issues

[soft orchid]

is anyone here familiar with sorc? im trying to go arcane ascendance because a dps mode sounds cool

but should i specialise in focus instead?

[elder coral]

What are the Echos on Ending the Storm, what do they do or what are they for?

are they like one shot for rare items

[wary turret]

Do healing totems heal a % of health or flat?

[dense lynx]

What mono would have a blessing to increase two handed staff drops?

[stable briar]

Does Consecrated Aura still heal you as Consecrated Ground normally does, just as a mobile aura?

[native sail]

Yup

[faint cape]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/minions/healing_totem looks flat

[faint cape]

blood frost death has all the weapon ones

[empty wharf]

What’s the best RoI for Rune of Ascendance?

[wary turret]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ascsim

[elder coral]

befor I spend to much time on a character, is a Sorcerer any good.end game as well?

[faint cape]

All classes are viable in the end game

[elder coral]

ty guess i just need to get better and learn more and stop deleting characters lol

[soft orchid]

is it worth using shattering runes early on

at what point should i start shattering items for shards

[faint cape]

Early on, I'd say only shatter/remove for affixes you actively need. Items with enough affixes worth shattering just for rare affixes typically start dropping in the monolith of fates

[soft orchid]

how common are shattering runes later on? is it worth saving them?

[elder coral]

you can buy them

[robust gull]

Initially spam shatter on everything basic so you have a comfortable base line. Once that is done it's more efficient to only shatter on rarer affixes like class specific stuff or the % increase to defenses.

[empty wharf]

Dude that’s a sick drop calculator!

[soft orchid]

defences such as ele or phys res, life?

[robust gull]

Resists are common, you should shatter for them latter on. I was referring to +% mana, health, armor, and dodge.

[soft orchid]

right

[kindred lichen]

Is there a list of known bugs? I assume being unable to left click on alot of enemies to attack them is a known bug

[soft orchid]

what should lightning sorc be focussing on

mana and health ig?

i doubt its dodge or armour

[robust gull]

Correction: dont shatter for resists, do shatter for other %

[soft orchid]

cool

it feels a bit of a waste atm to shatter tier 1 and 2 stuff

i waste the whole rune for like a single shard

lmao

or should i just do it anyway

2k gold is a bit hard to come by where im at

[robust gull]

When you at level 60 or so, that's easy to get. Shatter for everything on your first character early because you need to tetric all your defense at higher level and you'll burn through shards fast that way.

[soft orchid]

tetric?

[kindred lichen]

It really sucks when swipe is on the left click and you left click on the enemies and swipe doesn't happen and instead you just keep running around the enemy until you die because they can't be targeted xD

[robust gull]

Tetris, what I refer to for having to micromanage defenses on gear.
Then when you have like 100 in everything that basic and easy to find, only shatter for the rarer stuff

[soft orchid]

100 shards in everything basic?

got it

are you familiar with sorc builds?

[unreal hinge]

Dodge and armor is nice for channeling builds

[soft orchid]

how viable are non-triggering multishot marksman builds

i would rather run around just manual firing volleys of multishot then be channeling flurry to trigger it

[zinc anchor]

Is "100% minion critical strike avoidance" from Sinathia's Resurrection and "Your minions cannot be crit" from Ribbons of Blood the same thing? (Why word them differently?)

[broken galleon]

can a sealed affix be used when forging a legendary?

[zinc anchor]

The sealed affix cannot go onto the legendary, but if the exalted has one it doesn't prevent it from being used. It just needs to have 4 UNsealed affixes

[broken galleon]

so if i fill up the rest, the sealed affix wont be used

sounds good.. thanks

[zinc anchor]

You can't use it unless you fill up the rest. Yeah, the sealed won't be used

[robust gull]

% increased dodge and armor can be really useful if you have the space

[soft orchid]

should i be constantly engaging with crafting as im levelling?

or am i just throwing runes and mats in the bin

[zinc anchor]

My advice is don't craft while you're leveling because you really don't have enough. At least wait until you get the the end of time, that's maybe halfway through the acts and some people start monoliths then. Because if you craft to early you'll just never have enough

But some people will tell you otherwise. I definitely wouldn't use any rare mats (like increase to skill level ones, penetration, hybrid health, etc)

oh and absolutely do not use glyphs of despair early!!!!!!! I also wouldn't use too many runes of shaping or runes of refinement, just not worth early

Glyph of discovery is fine to use to your heart's content, even if that's the only crafting you do

Glyphs of chaos are pretty safe to use if you do crafting.

Also, feel free to use glyphs of Ascendance if you get any, the uniques you can get from them have very low chance for LP so they are less useful in the late game, may as well use them early if there's a particular unique or two you want

Definitely do not use any Runes of Creation!!

If you craft too much early, glyphs of hope will be rare for you so I advise not to use them until higher levels too but they are common enough drops that it's whatever. You go through them fast though. Don't waste rune of shattering, only use it if you need the shards from the item, and preferably only if the tier is high (like 4+). Also every time you go to a shop I would just buy all the runes of shattering they have, gold isn't used for much else.
I wouldn't use too many runes of removal early unless you really need an affix off an item or something, you can use it on an item you're crafting on late game if it has a T5+ affix you don't want but that's late game only
There I think I mentioned all the glyphs and runes lol
