[radiant dust]

so the stats presented on "boar heart" are just bases, that can then be futher modified?

cool, ty

[desert tree]

Yes, if you have Inc aspect of the boar duration idols for exemple or porcine constitution

Not sure if there is Inc effect

[radiant dust]

the second one states its duraiton and stats seperately from the first. so i found it confusing. (would also be nice for the 2 nodes to have different names...)

[faint cape]

Aspects are standardized buffs, like haste or frenzy. Every source of an aspect should list its stats and how long it lasts when applied from that source

All effects you have that modify it in general (doesn't specify a source) will apply to it from any source, and they should scale with %inc effect modifiers, too (for boar, this is only on idols)

[still lynx]

My timeline stability isn't showing on Echo map. I am lvl 70 in fall of outcasts. I have completed 53 echos and the ransacked camp. Is there something else I need to do?

[faint cape]

Can you screenshot it?

[sinful laurel]

With a name like that..what's about to happen...

[cloud garden]

how do point requirements work? the 0/1 skill in the top right has the < 3 points> paths for either requirement. So if I go through one branch to get the 0/1 (Decrepify in this case); do I still need three theoretical points in decrepify to meet the requirements for the previous nodes (the 0/3 or 0/5 nodes) when I go backwards in the branch I didn't take to reach Decrepify?

or is there no "going backwards" period

[faint cape]

You will not be able to go backward in this case, since you would need 3 points and that node has a max of 1

It might be worth noting, too, that these function a little differently in the passive tree. You can never go backward in the passive tree, no matter what

[cloud garden]

that makes sense, the passives are much more flowcharty than the options in skill specs.

[still lynx]

I had just reset the echo but even before doing that I ahd zero stability

[still lynx]

Am I maxed out 500? I think I figured it out. I just haven't found the other 2 quest echoes yet. I think

[quiet sandal]

You don't have to find the echos. Just click the name of the echo next to the golden ? And it should bring up a popup to enter the echo

You have to complete them in order, for unempowered monoliths (what you are doing).

@still lynx

[urban fog]

to the scrubs that know nothing of the beta, what does this new trailer thing actually show? :'D

[still lynx]

So how do I complete the 2nd and 3rd quest echoes?

[quiet sandal]

Complete the first one, then you will have access to the second in that list. Completing the second unlocks the third

[still lynx]

I did the first a long time ago. I think I may have screwed up by resetting the web echo

[faint cape]

It shows as incomplete, so you may have accidentally portaled out before it finished. Quest echoes have specific objectives that are not like regular echoes

Make sure you continue through it until the big green portal button appears; if you go out of the blue portal, you are abandoning the echo

[still lynx]

OH...........I thought I did

[sinful laurel]

Pretty colors and pixels. Nothing else. Yet.

Possibly a new boss/dungeon with that bit at the end?

But pure conjecture obviously

[still lynx]

Good Call. I went back and beat it. I thought I completed that a long time ago. THanks

[desert tree]

First thing coming out the ground looks like the manifest armor

Do we have the new model in game already?

[sinful laurel]

Right but that's not new lol

Yeah

[desert tree]

^^

[faint cape]

Definitely looks to me like another campaign chapter, but we don't know much at all

[still lynx]

Thanks for the help. Finally oved on to the black sun

[spare pond]

Looking to try something unique. Been having kind of a rough time sticking to a build as of late and I wanted to hear some recommendations of what you all have been really enjoying. Preferably something I can start using early on (i.e. the sooner the better) but and suggestions are welcome ❤️

[faint cape]

What kind of playstyle are you looking for?

[spare pond]

I'm sorry in advance cuz this is a super not helpful answer but honestly, biggest thing for me is just something unique that I can invest into. I guess I'd rather not run minions so that limits it somewhat I I'm not sure I've ever tried melee rogue either

[faint cape]

Hmm. I did kinda enjoy shuriken + lethal mirage using fulgurite shards - the daggers have a high level req, but you can probably do fine up until you hit that level without them. I've had a lot of fun with a spark charge build (int stacking using fragment of the enigma, either sorc or spellblade is fine) and with the meteor belt (str stacking "meteor bear" druid).

[spare pond]

Interesting, I'll take a look into those

[faint cape]

Cold spriggan shaman using halvar's set was also fun, haven't played that one in a while

[spare pond]

Summnn spriggan or spriggan form?

[sinful laurel]

I already told you

No need to double post 🙂

Sucks you have no forging potential left, def can find better swords than either of those

[faint cape]

Spriggan form - halvar's set gives you a cast on crit effect (unfortunately, it's a 1s cooldown though)

(but you would also have the spriggan companion for its crit chance buff)

[spare pond]

Mind shooting me a buildplanner? Can't seem to find anything when I went looking

[fathom glacier]

What resistances do you need for Julra, is it Void? I’m in 300 corruption but die to T4 Julra every encounter. I’ve tried to learn positioning better but I literally die in 3-5 seconds.

[sinful laurel]

Her mechanics are meant to be avoided, not tanked. Generally

[faint cape]

This one is definitely the most niche out of the ones I listed, I'll slap a planner together real quick-ish.

[acoustic thicket]

Is this a possible bug with Elusive in shift passive tree at 4 points not increasing dodge rating per dex? It only changes from 1-3 on sheet. 4th point doesnt increase dodge rating at all.

Stays 1725 with 4 or without

[fresh aspen]

@acoustic thicket additional dodge chance per point of dex for 1 sec after shifting

[acoustic thicket]

My brain didnt read it right and I was messing with a bit of gear, my bad x.x

[sinful laurel]

Lol that would be silly op if it was global holy Christ

[acoustic thicket]

One can only wish...

[fresh aspen]

double shadow weaver almost have perma uptimme

[acoustic thicket]

lol

[fresh aspen]

with enough cd recovery as well

[restive mortar]

how do i stay in spriggan form longer ?

[karmic solstice]

wait a second... you mean that the hit from spark charge can apply other ailments?

[sinful laurel]

Hits can always apply ailments that you have a chance on hit for

And spark charge is a hit

[faint cape]

Okay, this is based on what I remember. You definitely need the halvar set and a thorn totem on hit idol to actually run these skills, the rest of the gear you can grow into. Until you get those pre-reqs, you can just play it as a regular cold spell damage spriggan form build or any kind of cold spellcaster
https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/kB52KNgo

[faint cape]

Spriggan form has the most options for permanent upkeep out of all the forms. Search for rage on the skill spec tree to see 3 of the options. The other two options are unique items - Legacy of the Quiet Forest (belt) and Tears of the Forest (amulet).

Pick whichever works best for your build

[faint cape]

Yeah... the "your next skill always crits" was permanent for a while after 0.9 released.... that was silly

[sinful laurel]

That was a hilarious bug too. Omg

[noble halo]

what does "direct spell" mean exactly?

[faint cape]

Means you pressed the hotkey to cast that spell from your skillbar

[noble halo]

I see

thank you

[patent summit]

Are there any bugs going around with ailments? A friend has suddenly found their bleeds doing like 6 dps per stack and we're having trouble figuring out why.

[faint cape]

None I'm aware of, what has changed since whenever it was doing more?

[thin tinsel]

is there any way to make my loot folter ignore implicits? like i wanna have melee damage show but i dont care if its in the implicits :/

[candid elm]

The implicits are on the item base type, so filter by the base type.

[minor vigil]

i dont think affix filters include implicits?

[candid elm]

Yeah, they don't

[bleak bramble]

Is there a way to shift click all items in inventory to a stash tab (and vice versa) like in PoE?

[minor vigil]

ctrl click?

assuming you mean as opposed to manually dragging

[forest vapor]

no bulk moving of items, no

one at a time with shift click or manual click and drag

[patent summit]

They swapped idols, that's apparently it. (Took a nap at the wrong time apparently, sorry for late ping)

[faint cape]

Interesting, if they swap back, does it fix it? If so, then all their damage probably comes from their idols. If not, then it's probably something overlooked (maybe a skill spec change?)

[patent summit]

It does not. Bleed is also doing like 6 damage per tick, like way less than even its base damage.

[faint cape]

Is that how much it deals to the dummy? What skill are they using to apply?

[steep zealot]

support please help me

i couldn't play the game for a week

[sterile widget]

!support

[ripe brook]

Let's work together to get it sorted! We've support articles and a contact form here: https://support.lastepoch.com/.

[abstract aspen]

was a winner already announced for the giveaway?

[west vapor]

Anyone mind if I leach level my new sentinel in their emp monos

[river hull]

if you have 'shield barrage' on the shield throw tree, does increased projectile speed cause any increase in dps? or not really?

[gloomy frost]

Would DoTs be affected by the damage multiplier certain skills get? For example, would frostburn or poison applied by crowstorm do more damage as a result of crow storm’s 400% added damage effectiveness?

I’m assuming not, but just want to make sure.

[rocky dagger]

hey, i just got 'cinder song' which seems really cool but it ends up lowering my fireball damage considerably just because the base damge is so low. is there any use for a unique weapon like that late game?

[river hull]

can multiple fissures from smite damage the same enemy? ie. 2 fissures deal double the damage to one enemy of one fissure?

[buoyant sinew]

Added damage effectiveness no, but damage multipliers from a skill's tree affect ailments applied by the skill if they can (e.g. aren't specific to hit damage)

[buoyant sinew]

Yes, ignite. Flat damage doesn't matter for ailments

[rocky dagger]

okay, so going from 45k to 35k dps isn't truly telling

and the bonuses should make up for it?

the 2 extra projectils seem nice

[buoyant sinew]

Well the tooltip tries to take ailments into account but it's not perfect

And yes if you have the node in fireball's tree that lets multiple projectiles hit the same target, it definitely doesn't account for that in dps

[rocky dagger]

what uniques wuld typically one want for fire mage (76 right now and not really chasing anything)
i am tempted to switch to lightning/metoer after i got the set staff

[river hull]

can multiple fissures from smite damage the same enemy? ie. 2 fissures deal double the damage to one enemy of one fissure?

[vagrant hull]

If I craft a Legendary with an exalted item having only 3 affixes: does it roll randomly or take into account the implicits?

[native sail]

You can't. It needs to have 4 unsealed affixes to be used.

[peak root]

Any eastereggs in the new 9.1 trailer ?

[wide jackal]

Anyone know if there's any plans to make both gender variants for the classes? male necromancer, etc.

[dry narwhal]

don't plan on it anytime in the near future

but maybe down the line

[wide jackal]

that would be cool.

[vagrant hull]

I used it with only one and it took +53 armour implicit or random roll instead

[dry narwhal]

implicits don't matter for legendary items

[native sail]

don't lie here

[dry narwhal]

i feel there's a mix up between implicit and explicit modifiers here

[native sail]

That's the only thing I can think of

[vagrant hull]

I swear I did it with an item with only 1 affix because i deleted the other three hoping I have a sure roll on that one desired stat. instead I ended up with +53 armour

[dry narwhal]

it only works with items that have 4 explicit affixes, period.

[native sail]

You literally can't put the items together if it doesn't have 4 affixes on the exalt

[balmy pilot]

so i has question im playing Last Epoch im very addicted and im finding rings i have 2 on my character. I do the compare thing and it only compares one of the rings is there a way to switch to compare the other ring i have equipped

[nocturne forge]

Is there a gambler after the one in End of Time? I haven't seen one since, I'd really like to roll on stuff higher than level 40, specifically the two handed ice axes

[native sail]

The only other gambler is at the end of Soulfire Bastion. They removed high level gold gambling because it was legitimately overpowered.

[nocturne forge]

ok that makes sense. I'm not sure what other types of two handed axes there will be eventually ,but I might have to farm around haborea (spelling?) to find a good one xD

[nocturne forge]

Thank you

[native sail]

Areas level 47 and above can drop that base

[nocturne forge]

ok cool, that should save me some time then.

[left whale]

If I used Soulfire on my Lich, does my % increase to necro apply before or after hungering souls is converted to fire?

[desert tree]

%increased to necro does NOT work anymore on hungering souls

Only %increased fire

[gloomy frost]

I have a really annoying issue on steam deck where sometimes the controls for picking up loot with the face buttons stop working and I need to manually click on items with the track pads to pick things up. Has anyone else had that? If so, is there any way to fix it other than restarting?

[sharp zodiac]

Anyone doing 100+ shade fight i can join? Been trying for maw for 3 days and have not got it. Just 28 rings and 7 boots

[carmine apex]

is there any build that can utlize this both as dual wield apart from spin warpath? i can't thinking for any build with melee attack speed, crit, and fire dmg

[nocturne forge]

I just want to make sure, but I'm guessing if I use this on a primalist, it won't spawn the skele? I tried for a little bit, killed around 20 or so crabs, and nothing spawned.

[vague cloak]

At what level should i activate empowered monoliths? Im lvl 78 now

[thin tinsel]

uhm what exactly do you mean with that :D?

ah i guess i figured it out i can filter by item bases but that doesnt help me, i wanna filter by melee damage but i dont care about implicits because i cant get shards from the base, i want the filter to highlight a item that has for example +melee fire damage but NOT as implicit

[lavish garden]

my quests are not being tracked on one of my characters, please help if you know why

[sinful laurel]

Asap

@winged ore what's actually happening

[winged ore]

I'll have to check the name of it in a minute. Putting away groceries haha. Will inform you shortly.

[winged ore]

I'm currently playing as a Spellblade, and have noticed that the "Calculated Destruction" Passive node in the Sorcerer Passive Tree, which grants 3% increased "spell" critical strike chance per Intelligence, is also affecting my Melee critical strike chance. With a 5% base, +10 from dual weapons and 264% from items & passives, I should only have ~54.6 melee crit chance. But with 68 INT, I'm getting an extra 204% spell crit chance, but it's applying to my melee crit chance, bringing it to ~85.2 melee crit.

I don't know if it's intentional, seeing as it's designed for the sorcerer & their spells.

It's either a text error (in that it's global crit chance, not just spell), or it's a coding error (in that it's affecting more than it's supposed to).

[sinful laurel]

Hmmmm. This is on char sheet?

[winged ore]

Yes, and in-game. I've been pretty much only critting

[sinful laurel]

If it's really affecting melee skills then seems like a bug

[faint cape]

I'll go out on a limb and say it's not intentional. Before they made this node into an int scaling threshold thing, it gave spell crit. Sounds like it is just giving generic crit instead, now.

Have you checked your character sheet while swapping an item that basically just has int on it? If the passive does indeed grant generic crit, you'll be able to see your melee crit go up and down as you equip and unequip an item that grants int.

[quick wren]

there is any point to do optional echoes quest

[desert tree]

You can "burn" your bad map mods before going into a boss fight

[quick wren]

i seee

[winged ore]

I have

I also verified that it actually grants global crit, not just melee. So it grants base crit, spell crit, melee crit and bow crit.

[sinful vine]

Is there a way to change which character is shown at the top? This used to show the last played character, but now it always shows the same...

[west vapor]

my vk will not stop spinning when i stop pressing

[desert tree]

Not yet

[desert tree]

Did you tap warpath?

Instead of holding it

[west vapor]

yeah i just did a quick redit siearch and found that info about holding it down being the current solution

search rather

thanks for the response though

[desert tree]

Well it's a channeled skill so you should hold it

They do need to fix the tap bug though

[ionic temple]

I haven't really payed attention to the Enemy modifiers on the echoes until now when Spirits of Fire has 105% crit avoidance. My crit build is half useless in there. Does these modifiers reroll upon resetting the web?

[desert tree]

Not really, you can try running early web echoes or timeline quest to burn them

[sinful laurel]

Crit vuln helps too if you have access to it

[ionic temple]

So the modifiers are predetermined for the different monoliths?

[sinful laurel]

No. You acquire them as you complete echoes

[ionic temple]

And I can't change them?

By reducing corr or something

I mean 🤣

[ionic temple]

Not sure I've seen it.

I see I have 15% chance.

Is it just me that thinks these modifiers are stupid

[sinful laurel]

You did three echoes in a row with crit avoid modifiers lol. Sorry to say but that's kinda on you 🙂

[ionic temple]

The the modifier in itself. But stacked up like this

Oh, i must be missing something. You can actually see what the modifiers are?

Oh Fuck!"

[sinful laurel]

You should probably start paying attention to the modifiers before you enter. In the web map too, if you enter and leave it still adds the modifier

Yup on the web map 🙂

[ionic temple]

I thought it was random

RIP

[sinful laurel]

Also a nice piece of tech fyi. You can enter and leave the echo multiple times to reroll the enemy combos. If you have, for example, 200% inc ele dmg and you get an echo full of embermages

[ionic temple]

Yeah I noticed that in age of winter. I have that there.

Well Spirits of Fire is doomed on this char then.

gg to me

[merry cloud]

So I've got two remaining monolith quests left. Blood,Frost, and Death and Ending the Storm. I've done the optional quests multiple times and beat the water boss Lagon in ending the storm but its not opening this southern path?

I've already unlocked empowered is that something thats messing with it?

Ok I'm reading some forums maybe i'm messing up on the second quest where there is a choice

[sinful laurel]

You can burn the mods off like Vlad said without gaining new ones

[sinful laurel]

The only thing needed to get to empowered is spirits of fire, age of winter and end of ruin

Lagon and ending the storm is one step down from the final three

[ionic temple]

I didn't get that part..?

[sinful laurel]

You can run the prereq quests before the timeline boss to burn off bad mods without gaining new ones

[desert tree]

To get the second path of ending the storm you need to not fight liath during the second quest

[ionic temple]

Well then there's no problem. Thank you.

[merry cloud]

Yeah thats what I messed up on I kept clicking too fast without reading dialogue \

[pastel pebble]

Gamers once again damned by not reading

[shell elm]

hi all, i see a lot of build in game with no ress cap, me with all cap res i have difficult to stay live , how the most important deff stat to have ?

[ionic temple]

I mean this is the kind of thing I would've put on my dating profile as prompt. "What did you learn way to late" = Run the monolith quests in last epoch to remove modifiers. Found this out after playing the game for 200h.

[sinful laurel]

I've been playing this game for like 4 years and I still ask questions and learn new things 🙂

[ionic temple]

Same, I started when it came out and and had a loong break until now when coop was released. 🙂
I haven't been much involved in the community though so the things i Know is what I have found out (and not discovered obviously :P) myself in game.

I just took away all bad modifiers in age of winter as well. Back to running that like a breeze 🙂

[sinful laurel]

Nice nice 👍

[desert tree]

I would say res near cap is often enough, big life pool, crit avoid need to be capped. And then what you can get from your class like glancing blow, endurance, maybe some dmg to mana or some ward generation

[sinful laurel]

This isn't like Poe where 70% res is like 50% more incoming damage lol

[desert tree]

If you have a 2hander titan heart is always nice

[hard rain]

what is a good class/mastery to pick to learn the game and progress mostly solo sometimes with 1 or 2 other friends who joined with me

[limpid rover]

all of them

[stark scaffold]

how do i unlok temprol sanctum

[desert tree]

You need a key

You right click the key and it will show you where to go

[stark scaffold]

its locked tho

[sinful laurel]

Click the dungeon door and put the key in the "lock" (read: empty box)

[stark scaffold]

i mean the place idk how to get there

like its not highlighted as a way point

[sinful laurel]

Right click the key in your inv, and go to the nearest waypoint you have. Just like any other waypoint, if you haven't discovered it you can't teleport to it

[stark scaffold]

oh do i have to walk to the place

cause it kinda looked discconected

from the rest

[sinful laurel]

Yes. And discover the waypoint. it's not. There are clear lines to every dungeon

[stark scaffold]

ah alr thx for the help

[lime dagger]

is there a table somewhere which shows the stat ranges for each of the affix tiers?

[sinful laurel]

LEtools

lastepochtools.com/planner

[lime dagger]

thanks

[vagrant hull]

What is your favourite Werebear endgame build (bossfarming T4)? Any recommendations? Cold DoT?

[stark scaffold]

idk how im meant to get here tho

[sinful laurel]

Temporal sanctum is in another timeline. Go there and take the temporal tunnel thing

Shining cove

[stark scaffold]

ah ok

thanks

[sinful laurel]

A little confusing if you never did that quest for sure. Np

[hard wedge]

Would effects triggered by if you have been hit recently (or other texts like that) work for self-damaging like inplaying a Lich in reaper form for example?

[sinful laurel]

Generally no, those effects are usually drain effects, which aren't hits

[hard wedge]

Ah makes sense, thanks!

[faint cape]

I would recommend something with more DPS for bossing than cold DOT. Maybe meteor or vine bear.

[vagrant hull]

Thank you!

[charred finch]

is there much of a difference between t3 and t4 lightless arbor is there in the vault? i guess the gear in the chest is leveled i imagine but what if i'm really just going for glyph of despair mod on the vault lol

[fresh aspen]

If ure going glyph no point doing t3 or 4

Too expensive

[charred finch]

oh do higher level tiers cost more gold at the vault?

[fresh aspen]

Rarer choice more expensive

[charred finch]

so should i just do t2 since tunklabs says thats the minimum for that affix

[fresh aspen]

If first two rolls don't say glyphs try again

Just stick to t2

[charred finch]

kk

ty

[olive obsidian]

PoE player here. My favorite playstyle and what I played the most by far almost every league I did play since like Prophecy was Mines (and before that I really liked traps, but after moving to mines, I stopped playing traps). What skills and builds should I look at in last epoch that can give a similar style of play to PoE mines?

[broken galleon]

ballista explosion

it was showcased a couple weeks ago

rogue

i believe if you simply google it, with last epoch as a keyword at the end you might find it

[sinful laurel]

Gonna be quite a bit more clunky than Poe mines

Just due to ballista being clunky inherently lol

[olive obsidian]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3ETHZAu-zM this?

it looks a lot more like totem/ballista play style in poe, not really mines

[broken galleon]

not this sorry

its another one

i honestly dont recall where i saw it

but it exists

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9V5lpkMHgI4

[sinful laurel]

God the clickbait title hurts so fucking bad

I hate it

[broken galleon]

heh

[left whale]

can you scale your companion abilities or spells? Acid Lob from the Beastmaster Scorpian for example, does it scaled with your own posion damage increases?

[sinful laurel]

Generally no. Minion stats are separate and need minion specific affixes to scale. But there are exceptions

[left whale]

then the beastmaster sucks, imo. other classed can scaled dmg wildly. if all I get is minion dmg, that is poop

[sinful laurel]

Don't think so. Afaik BM is the powerhouse of primalist subclasses

Ask in primalist

[ornate horizon]

Is there a way to power level in LE?

[faint cape]

Druid is probably better in general, but yeah BM is great

[faint cape]

Yes, kinda. It's probably not much faster than just leveling a second character with leveling gear and crafting mats

[ornate horizon]

Leveling gear and crafting mats?

My friend can boost me if anything, I just want to level 3rd character rather quick

[sinful laurel]

Thanks, I know shit all about primalist 🙂

[open zealot]

hail of arrows never actually hits unless spec'd for the initial hit right?

[faint cape]

Like leveling uniques/sets, or just having plentiful crafting mats. Both are super OP early game

[sinful laurel]

Correct. It's not a hit

[ornate horizon]

Guess I will need to find those

[versed pier]

Can someone explain to me why these types gloves are BIS for squirrels? Is it just for the chance of having armour shred in the lp slot or are the other stats that useful for minions? Are there other good options for the lp? How rare are 2 or 3lp on these?

[faint cape]

There probably just aren't many glove options, and I think minion armor shred is hard to get for non-acolytes. Melee attack speed and minion damage would both be fine affixes for a 2-3 LP one, but more than 1 LP is super rare.

Also hard to go wrong with hybrid health lol

[versed pier]

cheers mate

[sterile widget]

Bina big boom ballista bonanza!

[near vine]

so all the monsters in my game starting from the gates of solarum to the heoborean forest so far are invisible, anyone else come across this? Ive reset the game and computer multiple times.

[lethal flicker]

Hi guys, new player here. I'm a bit lost on monoliths. I'm in Fall of the Outcasts. I just went left on the echoes and maxed my stability. People say I'm supposed to fight an abomination now, but I have no idea where to find him

Here is where I am at currently

[elder coral]

the quest

top left click on the first one

complete all those three and pick your blessing

[lethal flicker]

Thank you for replying Red. When I right click, I get this map here. But I'm not seeing anything I can click to zone in

[elder coral]

@lethal flicker the screen on the top when in fall of the outcast map

[lethal flicker]

oo do you mean this?

I clicked on the Ransacked Camp

and this popped up

[elder coral]

yes thats the first one

@lethal flicker complete all of those. last one is the boss fight

@lethal flicker befor you do the last one. I would recommend you watch some youtube videos on the fight to prepair

[lethal flicker]

I'll take that into account. Thank you very much! It's starting to make sense now

[safe harness]

Also note it says how much stability you need to do the encounter. You actually only needed 300 stability

[elder coral]

Do just enough to unlock the quest in other words

[lethal flicker]

Ah I see. Thank you

[lethal flicker]

Hmm I just killed the Abomination Red. But er...now I'm just back to where I was. Everyone on youtube is saying I can work my way up and knock out three things to unlock the level 100 stuff.

But I seem to be stuck here

[safe harness]

you can keep doing the fight

if you die it just makes you lose stability but you have so much extra you could probably do it like 20 times lol

oh sorry i misread

[lethal flicker]

I'm not sure I follow. You want me to keep maxing stability in Fall of the Outcasts and killing Abomination over and over again? Does that unlock the empowered monoliths?

[safe harness]

you talk to the spirits after the fight to unlock the next monolith

[elder coral]

no

[safe harness]

the level 66 monolith is the fastest path towards unlocking empowered

[lethal flicker]

ohhhh I see it now. So there's a bridge that opens next to the first portal that leads to the next portal. In my case, it says The Black Sun

Am I on the right path?

[safe harness]

yes

👍

[elder coral]

and the last three level 90's unlock empowered if i am correct

[lethal flicker]

Ohh I see I see. In the Youtube guides, it just looked like you could just go right and up from the map to get to the three you need to unlock empowered. But from what I'm seeing, you can't really choose anything. You just complete each zone as their gate unlocks

[elder coral]

yes you cam hit M and see them also and teleport to the ones you want after you unlock them also

[safe harness]

some monoliths let you choose to go left or right if there is a fork

[lethal flicker]

ohhh icic. Thanks guys! I think I'm getting the hang of it

It doesn't matter much which direction you go in terms of the echoes huh? I thought you had to go in the direction of the next zone or something

[elder coral]

Reign of Dragons wow barely killed him. I think the circle is to big, imo.

But very rewarding fight. 🙂

I have a question also on the mono's, Does you progression through them carry over on the other characters ? looks like it does.

[sinful laurel]

No

[lethal flicker]

Hey guys, any tips on leveling as fast as possible? I'm at around 58 on some characters

specifically, I'd like to level my skills asap

[sinful laurel]

The secret to leveling as fast as possible is to kill as many monsters as possible in the shortest timeframe possible

[lethal flicker]

haha right, but is there a giant swarm of them somewhere?

like super densely packed xD

[sinful laurel]

Honestly to level skills fast, just get to empowered monos. There isn't a secret trick.

Once you get to empowered you can relevel a new skill in like 3-4 echoes

[lethal flicker]

gotcha. I'll work toward that first then. thanks

[faint cape]

Yup, just rush toward empowered. You will max out your skills around the time you hit level 76

[lethal flicker]

btw, if you don't loot the little gold thing in between echoes, do you lose the rewards?

[sinful laurel]

Yup

Always click the rock

[amber void]

shield throw is affected by weapons affixes and passives related to the equiped weapons?

[lethal flicker]

rats

[faint cape]

It's affected by everything that affects its kind of damage

weapons are just stat sticks

[amber void]

so passives that increase, let's say, mace damage have no effect?

[faint cape]

there is no such stat

"damage while wielding a mace" will apply to all damage you do as long as you have a mace equipped

[amber void]

ok, thanks

[lethal flicker]

Hey guys, any Sentinels around? I've been torn between Mail Crusher and Blademaster in the main tree. Former increases damage with maces/sceptres, and the latter increases attack speed with swords/axes. I am a full melee build using Rive

[elder coral]

I went with Void Knight, and love him

[lethal flicker]

nono, I mean just those two talents

I'd have to choose one xD

[faint cape]

Technically, you can do both, right? But really it just depends what weapon types you intend to use

[elder coral]

Question Even though I picked and playing Beastmaster, can I use Druid passives like Spriggan form ?

[sinful laurel]

Yes as long as they are before the chain

[deft shadow]

Hey so I'm hitting "endgame" I guess on my first toon and doing monos. Do i want to farm lower level monos for gear and exp or push as quickly as possible to empowered monos for the blessings? I just unlocked the level 77 monos and they're kinda chunking me

[sinful laurel]

If you are struggling stay in reg monos until you get some better gear pieces. Ideally, you want to rush empowered and farm there

[pastel pebble]

Go straight for emp monos if you can handle it

So rn just focus on fixing your gear or some passives

[deft shadow]

understood, thanks very much. Prob need to shift some gear pieces to more defensive

[amber void]

does anyone know what this arrow mean?

[deft shadow]

can i continue to get regular blessing by repeat killing mono bosses or is it one per unique boss?

[sinful laurel]

There are like 8 blessing choices per timeline. Kill boss until you get the one you want at the level you want

[deft shadow]

oh interesting ok makes sense thank you

[forest vapor]

i think it indicates this is something that scales something on your skill bar.. something like that

like highlighting your scaling tags for you or something

[faint cape]

Normally this means that affix is already on the item, so using the shard upgrades the tier of that affix

[amber void]

but why the arrow was in the avalaible to be applied instead of thecurrently applied?

the item i ws crafting was a normal item

[faint cape]

No idea

[soft orchid]

is tehre a way to export online characters into le builder

[sinful laurel]

Not yet

[analog mantle]

Is rune of removal 100% remove T6 or T7 affix???

'cause I tried some on purple gear, and it's damn always the highest affix removed

[ruby stirrup]

I want to farm the Blood, Frost, and Death boss Formosus for the Frostbite Shackles. Is it only possible to farm those bosses on Normal difficulty or can I do it Empowered? The only empowered quest I have says something about killing a shade.

[analog mantle]

guess which one got removed

[faint cape]

It's unweighted, so 25% on a 4 affix item

[charred finch]

even though stormcarved testament talks about totems and stuff, i don't have to be a primalist to get it to drop right? to use it on a lightning mage for instance

its just rare from ending the storm lagon

[soft orchid]

how does sealing work?

is it weighted?

[buoyant sinew]

The higher the tier of the affix the lower the chance to seal with a glyph of despair, yep

[soft orchid]

is it more worth it to try and gamble sealing T6/7 or seal a shitty T1/2

[buoyant sinew]

You can't seal higher than T4 because if sealing fails it upgrades the tier instead

It depends though, sealing 1s can be a good way to either open a mod slot or get a free extra mod for things that are still good at t1 (e.g. skill level, ailment cleanse). If the item is useless to you if you don't get the seal and you have plenty of despairs then you may as well go for it all the way to t4. Aiming to seal a t4 as an actual plan is generally quite high end min max

[steel merlin]

can julra uniques drop with more than 1 lp?

[desert tree]

Yes

[gusty stirrup]

https://gyazo.com/f70b9a0dbb15d3e4942503cf7030f0c4 someone know how to fix this

[raw fern]

Try restarting steam

[untold sail]

hi everyone, i think ppl already answered that more often than not.

i wonder if a unique can be "upgraded" somehow, cause there are some that have unique-stuff, aber very low base stats, cause they have a very low level, or not any level given at all, like the firestarter's torch. its such a shame if there is nothing. now i heared about legendary potential, is it that ?

[desert tree]

Yes

You will need to drop the same unique with some legendary potential (goes from 1 to 4) and then smash it with an exalted item (purple) and it will put the affixes of the purple item on the unique

[untold sail]

so they then get the base values ? ok, thats awesome.

[desert tree]

You keep the unique but add some affixes on it

[untold sail]

but i want its base stats chabged

[forest vapor]

you cannot reroll the basic affixes of a unique once it has dropped

if you got like 3LP on an absolutely dogwater-rolled base.. welp :/

[untold sail]

hmm either i dont know what it is called or you dont know what i mean.

i dont wanna change the affix or suffix. i mean the very base values of the item type itself.

i mean those values^^

[lyric flume]

Ok. Dumb ass mp questions:

1. Max 4 players, right (checking)?
2. Do enemy mobs scale in

• numbers
• damage
• health
• other
  When playing with multiple people?

3. Is loot “shared” or does every player get their own stuff?
4. Can you drop items for other people, or do you have to use the “gift” inventory to give it to them?

[cyan wave]

which path takes me to the age of winter?

[soft orchid]

does anyone ever have issues with accidentally equipping or selling gear

shits annoying as hell

[desert tree]

That's the implicit and you cannot change them on a unique

Even after the legendary process

[desert tree]

1 yes
2 not sure I think it's just life
3 every got their own
4 have to gift (if dropped when you were in the same party and same zone)

[forest vapor]

those are called the item implicits. you cant change those on a unique either.

[desert tree]

Once you are on the island on at the top of the monos, go left

[desert tree]

Nope

[forest vapor]

yes, actually

silent right-click to equip isnt a great design

[lyric flume]

Ah cheers

[untold sail]

doesnt make it the firestarters torch for example useless for laegame builds ?

[lyric flume]

Dno, the other affixes scale based on percentiles. That looks great for endgame scaling.

[desert tree]

You will need to work something to compensate the lack of base stats from the implicit, if needed. But since its a low level unique you are more likely to get it with a lot of lp

[untold sail]

those values scale ? i didnt even noticed them changing

[desert tree]

If you play an ignite build you don't need flat melee or flat spell

[untold sail]

oh, well, that then is the point where i lack the knowladge 😂

[desert tree]

If you get a 2 lp with ignite chance and ele dot 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

[lyric flume]

I mean fire damage * some % will scale. In lategame too. So, it’s what Pvt. Vlad said: make sure you get some flat fire dmg.

[lyric flume]

Yes. I lost my Firestarter somehow. So, I think I accidentally sold it 😂.

[open zealot]

if you add a cooldown to a skill, does CDR effect that or does it need a cooldown as baseline to be effected?

[desert tree]

99% Sure if the CD does not come from an object cdr will work

[balmy current]

Yes. CDR doesn't affect procs/ICDs but it does affect anything that goes on your skill bar.

[elder coral]

is sorcerer a good strong build?

[steel merlin]

there isnt a single sorcerer build, and there are strong sorcerer builds

[elder coral]

I realy want to play a sorcerer

but dont want to waste my time either

[lyric flume]

I got bored of my bladedancer, because my cinder strike build didn’t work. So, I changed the skills I wanted to try. Now it works. Tl;dr: play sorcerer and don’t be afraid to change it up if it doesn’t work.

[elder coral]

to be perfectly honest i want to play the Runemaster. If I dont pick my mastery now when runemaster is available will i be able to than?

[lyric flume]

Or check Last Epoch tools or maxroll for sorc builds

[elder coral]

I have two level 85 also to keep working on so i can wait on this character.

[lyric flume]

Ah ok. Then you could try making a build with “mage” only.

I think it’s possible with the skills mage gets.

[faint cape]

Mastery selection is final

I don't recommend taking a non-mastery character into the late game, but sure you can try. You'll need someone to skip you in the campaign past the mastery choice

[lyric flume]

Ah yea, I forgot that mastery choice is mandatory to continue the campaign 😂

[inner karma]

Is is safe to delete player log - mine is 250mbs

[wheat mauve]

can someone please explain to me what "Effective Level for Legendary Potential" means? i want to farme twisted heartd of akheiros and it says its has Effective Level for Legendary Potential 80, what that means? how much corruption do i need to try to farm it with legendary potential?

[desert tree]

The higher the level is the harder it is to get lp on it

[lethal flicker]

Hi guys, I'm currently running a melee build. Does anyone know how much physical damage the strength stat adds? Would it be worth it to take a +strength over a + physical damage affix?

I'm seeing 4% armor per strength stat in game. But I'm also seeing that it scales abilities that rely on strength (such as Rive). Does this mean that each point of strength also increases the damage of Rive by 4%?

[sinful laurel]

Corruption doesn't affect chance for LP at all. An eff level for LP of 80 means it will be pretty difficult to get LP, and really difficult to get more than 1LP

[sinful laurel]

Each point of strength increases damage of strength based skills by 4% per point yes. However you can generally get more bang for your buck with other damage affixes, unless you have a specific reason to stack a main stat.

For example, morningfrost boots and dexterity

[lethal flicker]

Thank you! I'm still just beginning, so I haven't found much good gear yet. Str for now!

[wheat mauve]

Thanks guys!

[charred finch]

which exalted/rare armor nodes exist in monos?

[sinful laurel]

There are exalted body armor nodes in any timeline, just gotta find them

[faint cape]

For almost every item type. I think only gloves, boots, and belts don't have these kind of node

[charred finch]

ty!

[sinful laurel]

Yup. Sadly.

[subtle wave]

hello, did they ad a "hold position" button with one of the latest updates?

[faint cape]

Shift has been that button for a very long time. Might not be exactly what you want, though

[steel merlin]

soulfire dungeon boss is not guaranteed to drop a unique?

[acoustic thicket]

is there a way to get offline save files for steam deck? want to backup .

[faint cape]

Only Temporal Sanctum has a guaranteed unique drop (to guarantee you could always slap something in the eternity cache)

[cyan wave]

@desert tree this is where im at, i checked all the guides but couldn't get there. now im on blood, frost. Do i need to go back to the beginning of Fall of the outcats?

[faint cape]

You can get to Reign of Dragons from either Fall of the Empire or Ending the Storm

FotE always leads there, but in EtS you have to select the dialogue option to kill Liath in the second quest echo

[north lodge]

using non-channelled flurry, with the rogue base passive tree node "Disembowel" at 5/5. with no other sources of bleed chance, i should only be seeing increments of 5 bleed stacks at a time correct? This is not what i'm seeing in game, its closer to 3~ ish on average, Is flurry's reduced ailment chance applying to this node even though it isn't bleed chance?

[sinful laurel]

Bleed is an ailment so yeah bleeds applied by flurry would be reduced regardless of source

All that passive node does is give you 500% increased bleed chance for one hit

[lethal flicker]

Hey guys, is there a way to check the progress of your skill level? I feel like I've been at it for days without my Rive leveling from 18 to 19

[sinful laurel]

In the skill tree, top left

Progress bar

[lethal flicker]

Hmm I'm not seeing it. So I press "S" to bring up the skill right? I'm not seeing a progress bar

[sinful laurel]

S to bring up skill UI, then click rive. Within the rive skill, progress bar, top left

[lethal flicker]

I see it now haha. I'm a bit dumb. Thans!

[faint cape]

Keep in mind too, that the last few levels take a long time compared to earlier levels. They are more gated by your character level than anything else - you'll reach level 20 skills by about level 76

[compact pewter]

What is the help channel in game actually for? Technical help/issues or for questions

[elder coral]

I just got a arena key of memory first one of these i have ever found so far

[faint cape]

I'd say treat it a lot like this channel, any questions

[red mulch]

Is Paladin Warpath Bleed still viable for HC survival in 250+ Corruption?

[wise whale]

just made a paladin, should I just work on leveling up before grouping?

[austere gulch]

When an item is listed as having an effective level for legendary potential of 115? Does that mean it will only drop legendary potential in 115+ corruption?

[sinful laurel]

no, its a relative measure of how rare LP is on the item. 115 is extremely rare

[fringe perch]

Is generic CDR hard to get?

[sinful laurel]

not really, if you focus affixes on it

[jolly shell]

Not really if you focus on it BUT be aware it only affects skills that go on the hot bar not talents or items

[worthy lark]

Are the dungeons fixed yet? (Especially the dungeon that we craft legendaries)

[midnight timber]

Temporal sanctum seems to work ok... I ran through it a dozen times over the last couple days. Fine for making legendaries. Haven't tried the others.

[worthy lark]

@midnight timber but did you have any problems in the past? Cuz it seems it was bugging for some people, and working for others

[midnight timber]

one problem, early on. but nothing in the last 2-3 weeks

[worthy lark]

@midnight timber I see, maybe it might be fixed for me as well. Thanks, I'll try and see if it's also working

[warm sorrel]

Hello 👋

I just finished apophis and majasa, is there any quest after that or just monolith?

[safe harness]

Monoliths

[warm sorrel]

Ok thanks

[fringe perch]

So if there's a talent that modifies a skill to have a CD the CDR doesn't help lower it?

[thin tinsel]

guys glancing blows should not do anything in regards to crits right? like when i have mono mods that add up to 100% glancing i still caan crit right?

[desert tree]

Yes, but you will do less dmg

[unreal hinge]

When I have 50% critical strike avoidance and the enemy is affected by blind (50% less critical strike chance) is this equal to 100% critical strike avoidance?

[balmy current]

No since those are multiplicative stats not additive

The enemy's chance to crit you would be reduced to 25% of whatever it would be without it being blinded or you having any crit avoidance.

[restive mortar]

does anyone have any experience with 32"+ monitor playing this game ?

[unreal hinge]

sad, I thought I could get away with 50% crit avoidance, thanks

[balmy current]

Nope

[unreal hinge]

blind is kinda useless then though as soon as you reach endgame

[forest vapor]

niche but not entirely useless, as long as you arent giving up anything better for it

blind applied to range stuff makes you not get lasered quite so badly, if you have some sort of easy at-range application of it

VK can get a 20% more dmg vs blinded so that's obviously huge

[amber obsidian]

When crafting a legendary the item has to have 4 affixes excluding the sealed one correct? Do higher tier affixes have a higher chance to apply to the legendary or is it all equal probability?

[forest vapor]

yes, no

also the item has to have one exalted affix

[amber obsidian]

So you want to try to have 4 affixes you would be pretty ok with applying and a few yours really hoping for?

[sleek sluice]

most case thats not possible, so just having the 1-2 rolls you need good rolled within their tiers is what people go for

and just gamble away

lots of items get bricked due to bad luck on LP

[elder coral]

okay whats the difference between damage over time and elemental damage over time. is one more for spells ?

damage over time is like poison and bleed

[sleek sluice]

Elemetal damage over time = Fire, frost and lightning only

damage over time is all types

[elder coral]

thank you , thats what I thought but wasnt for sure

[elder coral]

I cant kill Lagon all I want is the blessing lol

[warm sorrel]

Heya, erm at end game, what can be done for multiplayer?

Pvp , dungeons?

[unreal hinge]

how much armor would I need to reach the armor cap of 85%?

[bronze ocean]

Technically 85% is unreachable. Here's a quick breakdown for armor -> mitigation %

 5,000 => 63.71%
10,000 => 77.35%
20,000 => 82.55%
30,000 => 83.72%
40,000 => 84.18%
50,000 => 84.41%

[unreal hinge]

I guess 10k armor is the sweetspot, at least thats what my napkin math tells me

[swift dock]

Man..is there anyway to make the acolite more powerful ? Lol I'm lvl 15 with her , and I'm finding it to be a slog to get threw...keep summoning seems to be the only semi powerful thing

Or I've noticed , curse skills seem to be a must have idk

[unreal hinge]

what spells are you using? When I started out I only ever felt weak when I used a weapon without any spell damage because I just looked at the affixes and not the implicits on weapons

[swift dock]

Maybe Im not doing her build right then..

Best stuff I've really found for her

Every one of my skills are only doing like 120 dmg 😆 my golem kills enemies faster than I can 🤣

Any good uniques to plug this into? It seems like a pretty good affix set

[desert tree]

Maybe some bleed chance?

And you play a bleed build?

[elder coral]

I am a big fan of bleed

[lime dagger]

is there a way to fix the issue where your character just freezes?

[elder coral]

You talking about like cold spells ?

[lime dagger]

i can use abilities and stuff but i cant move

just stuck like that lol

[elder coral]

thats a bug looks like to report

I have had no isues with that

[lime dagger]

rip echo rewards

it must be a smite thing, i never had this happen on marksman, or before i started using smite

[potent rapids]

More a curiosity than anything else: Has anyone figured out how to use Devouring Orb effectively without taking Dark Moon (orbiting)? I feel like something that sits there stationary is just totally incompatible with running around an echo, and with Rifts being on kill I can't see how I'd use it in something more "single area" like a boss fight either.

[forest vapor]

i guess for echoes the idea is throw an orb or two into the pack, hit them with stuff, and then when one dies it chain reacts and the orbs wipe out the rest of the pack

but for boss fights.. yeah.

[fickle musk]

I guess from reading the flurry node "Fusilade", the multishots that are being procced are really just replacing the third shot every two rotations, so the multishot is actually considered to be a part of the flurry channel. Is that correct? There are a couple of knock on effects that are probably intentional, but that, in my opinion, feel pretty bad and I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. First, a channeling flurry marksman can not make use of the marksman passive even if they are proccing multishot very frequently. Again, I am sure this is intended in some respects, but it does feel pretty bad for a node to pretty much make the passive for the mastery class useless. And also passive nodes like Draining Arrows not working with the multishot procs also feels pretty bad. I do understand that flurry is channeled, thus only procs based on bow attack at the start of the channel, but the multishots being "part of" the flurry channel I think doesn't feel great.

I guess the question I am asking everyone is if this is really how it is meant to work or if this is a bug that I should submit? Or if it is more appropriate to leave as feedback in general

[potent rapids]

I can see that, I guess, maybe? You'd have to go into the Additional Charges route though for more than one. That seems like it'd be a really awkward or redundant playstyle though?

[forest vapor]

it doesnt seem like it would feel great, no

[potent rapids]

I did try a "time bomb" type thing at one point with a bunch of the -Duration and Void Eruptions, and that was just... awful.

[forest vapor]

yeah i saw those nodes and thought they were probably.. not great

[potent rapids]

The problem I had is that the void eruptions were so all over the place, and everything was moving at me, that they just never hit anything most of the time

[summer turret]

Hi guys, totally new to the game/discord. I just picked it up last night and installed it, haven't run it yet. Are there any good community websites that describe mechanics and current (end game) builds etc?

[candid elm]

Some I use:
https://www.lastepochtools.com/ - database of items and skills. Has builds, build guides, and build planner.
https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ - I use the calculators and dungeon reset info here
https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/ - lots of general game guides and build guides

[uncut night]

Is there a way as dead, exhc character to get access to sc chat? found it supper annoying that im stuck in hc chat being unable to chat others and find any lfg group on in game chat

[faint cape]

Yeah, it is definitely not supposed to count as directly using multishot or as some way to circumvent channeling mechanics, so it's working as intended.

[fickle musk]

I suppose that is fair, but then I guess there is no intended way for a channeling flurry marksman to effectively make use of the marksman's class passive?

Feels a bit odd. It caps at five stacks, so it seems like it could just be each hit with a bow skill stacks/refreshes it. It doesn't feel great for a primary ability to have a node that doesn't work with the class passive, imo

[empty wharf]

I was just watching the dev stream and he talked about Dungeons being “campaign skips”. How exactly does that work?

[lime dagger]

does critical % on idols work for both physical and spell crit?

[sinful laurel]

Global crit chance is global

[jolly shell]

If you have keys you can skip large chunks of the campaign by using the dungeons

[fresh aspen]

By skip u mean u still have to get all ur passives and idol slots sadge

[summer turret]

Thank you!

[desert tree]

The in game guide is quite thorough aswell (default key G)

[dense ridge]

Any tips on how I should think about crafting this? (I posted it in Reddit too)

• I'm thinking I can try to put T1/T2 cold damage and seal it, then put on spell damage?
• The LP is relatively low, so I can just try to get spell damage to T5 first without trying to get cute with cold damage/sealing?
• Ignite/shock feel fairly useless, but also I don't think there are many better replacements that would have a huge impact on this staff?

FWIW: I don't have a character build that would wield this now, but would likely slap this on my druid and transition that to a cold bear (currently lightning swarmblade). The goal would just to find the best build possible to utilize this staff and cold bear was the first thing that came to mind with the T7 ele dot

[mystic lynx]

Hi. Is there any chance to resolve problems with logging to server? I''m trying many times to login into game but with no success

[faint cape]

Well, that's only one of their two passives. I don't think it's the intent for all builds to be able to make full use of both the class passives (or worse, could be Jelkhor's) - otherwise, all the passives would have to be extremely boring. It is definitely valid #368968647114227723, so do voice your thoughts on it if you want the devs to consider it.

[swift dock]

Thank you for this , I'm going to check it out. I've played every character so far and had a blast , but tried acolyte finally and I'm feeling weaker than the others so far..maybe this will help

[orchid hawk]

Looking for opinions on what the strongest DoT builds are.

[carmine apex]

lich dot or druid dot

[soft orchid]

im assuming you dont have to complete every side quest in the campaign to get everything

is there a list of mandatory side quests to complte?

or can i just tunnel main quests

[desert tree]

You can tunnel main quests and when you beat lagon, do some sides quests here and there to get your missing passives and idols slots.

[native sail]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/checklist/quests/passives

[desert tree]

You don't even need to do chapter 9

It only gives +1 all attribute

[soft orchid]

is this not significant

[desert tree]

yes but not really

it's something you will want but chapter 9 is often quite challenging for some builds. Monsters are a bit stronger, a lot of poison and dot dmg which are hard to mitigate. Majasa's fight seems to be quite hard for some people too.

When you can skip it go to monos reach empowered and come and steam roll everything

[restive epoch]

I had some crazy issues with Lagon and Majasa with my very first char (bleed bladedancer with dancing strikes).. I died sooo many times to both of them... 😄

It makes better echo rewards appear more often on your echo web, but it doesn't affect what drops from "unique item" or "unique or set X" echoes

[restive epoch]

Cool to know, thanks 😄

[thin tinsel]

yo, i read about a bug were you can enter dungeons without losing the key... is this known to de devs? are people using it? do the devs care if we abuse it 😄 ?

[faint cape]

Abusing bugs to essentially dupe items is obviously not a good idea and could get you banned from basically any online game. It's not like keys are super rare, anyway.

[thin tinsel]

yeah i agree on principal but sometimes bugs likes this are in games for years or forever even and it kinda becomes a "faeture"

because if everyone does it and there is no punishment it would be stupid to not do it

thats why i want clarity 😄

[jolly shell]

Everyone is saying don’t do it. I think you’re the only one confused.

[thin tinsel]

i guess my point went right over your head but its fine i already got in touch with a mod 🙂

[night isle]

does anybody know a fix for lost connection to game server on selecting online character

[zinc root]

While crafting LP items in temporal is there a chance for sealed affixes to move to unique too ? Or only normal will

[desert tree]

Only normal

[zinc root]

Okay ty!

[tardy swan]

if i wanna make new char , since i already have good gear i can use when i get high lvl, is it possible to get boosted from lvl 1 or do i need to unlock monoliths first and then get carried in high lvl monoliths ?

[zinc root]

No you don't have to unlock monos. You can teleport to the person who is boosting you. Also if you die you don't get experience and also u can't be too far from the person. U have to be somewhat close to soak the exp as far as I know

[tardy swan]

ok thx for reply 🙂

[jolly shell]

Only normal and it has to have four affixes

[zinc root]

👍

[slate snow]

Hey, i want to try a Sorcerer build. Reason being teleport is the movement skill i like the most. Is there any good sorc builds that stack cdr i could try? as that would also benefit teleport

[crimson crater]

I just started playing and an getting the hang of the game playing solo. Should I be saving all these crafting materials for later? Not sure exactly when/how I should be using them

[sinful laurel]

Save your runes of despair but otherwise crafting your gear as you go through is a huge benefit and makes your progress much smoother

[crimson crater]

hmm ok

[thin tinsel]

guys what is a good rule of thumb when it comes to LP, at which effective legendary potential is it unrealistic to farm for 3LP?

[sinful laurel]

There isn't a hard and fast rule and obviously if you are lucky you can get some crazy 3lp. For me? I wouldn't specifically tryhard for a 3lp beyond like 30 eff level. But that's me, I I farmed for a 3lp bleeding heart for almost 3.5 weeks with nothing haha

[polar narwhal]

will we ever get an auction house or ability to trade with other players?

absence of life - aura of decay - "allies within range are healed by Aura of decay each second. Aura of decay heals more health the less health you currently have." - does this talent heal you as well as your allies? or only your allies?

[lethal flicker]

Hey guys, newish player here. I was wondering if there was any way to find where specific echoes are in advance. I need a unique glove from Ending the Storm

[sinful laurel]

Nope. Just gotta explore. Hit beacon nodes asap

[feral tapir]

can chalice tell the difference between which stacks of bleed is yours oryour pets?

id assume yes but does not say either way

[sinful laurel]

Per stack of bleed on the target should be from any source afaik

[feral tapir]

says a percentage of your damage

but dont know hjow or if it can tell

doesent exactly say per stack of bleed

[sinful laurel]

It says 2% of physical damage over time leeched as health, that would be your bleed damage. It also says health gained per stack of bleed on the target. That should be per stack of bleed on the target as it dies

We are talking about valdyrs chalice right...

[feral tapir]

yea

[sinful laurel]

Well says it right there 🙂

[feral tapir]

was more interested in the leech part

[sinful laurel]

Leech is yours. But the number of stacks on the target doesn't matter for that... 2% of your physical dot is leeched. That's it

[feral tapir]

kinbda wish it kept track of your bleedsand theirs in the numbers just jumbled together

[sinful laurel]

Minions will leech their own damage if you have a source of minion leech

Are you just asking for visual purposes? Like you just want to see minion damage numbers distinct from yours?

[feral tapir]

kinda would make it eiser to tell if the gain is worth it

[sinful laurel]

The gain of what?

[feral tapir]

nvm im not sure how to explain whatg i mean ty though

[neon ledge]

ok guys..whats better on a calamity helmet: 23% fire pen for ignite, or 109% increased fire DoT?

[sinful laurel]

Depends, how much pen and % increased DMG do you already have?

[neon ledge]

i thought that was flat across the board...if my fire damage 100, it will do 109% more, right? and 23% fire pen will put 23% more fire damage past their resistances, right?

[sinful laurel]

Well I ask because there are inherent diminishing returns where it becomes less beneficial to stack a stat you already have a huge amount of

Generally pen is better as there are less sources of it and it's a more modifier but not always

[neon ledge]

i dont think i have any in either

i ahve a lot of fire damage and spell dmage

but no DoT and no Pen

[sinful laurel]

You have 0% increased damage??? Wut?

Ok, % increases are additive across multiple sources that count for the skills tags.

So how much total % increased damage do you have for this skill?

If you have no pen I can almost guarantee pen is better though

[neon ledge]

im not on that character at the moment, so i dont know. hang on. ill swap toons

regular increased fire damage is 685%

spell damage is 146%

[sinful laurel]

Yeah. With that much even just fire damage and no pen, you want pen

100%

[neon ledge]

ok great

does ignite gain bonuses from fire damage?

[sinful laurel]

Wait though, one question

You are an ignite build right?

[neon ledge]

because the fire pen is only for ignite

[sinful laurel]

Yes, ignite has a fire tag

[neon ledge]

ok...cool

yeah, im using cindersong, soulfire, calamity (replacing the one i have with the new legendary one with fire pen hopefully if it doesnt brick it)

[sinful laurel]

Your spell damage isn't increasing ignite damage though. Just fyi

[neon ledge]

ok. thanks for that

my ignite chance is 102% and ignite damage is 308...kinda low i think

[sinful laurel]

Very low, but character sheet lies, especially for dot chance

[neon ledge]

ok cool...this guy is only level 58 also...so i have time to flush out the build

[sinful laurel]

Oh if you're only level 58 you have a lot of way to go

[neon ledge]

yeah, on this guy i do. lol

i just picked up that 1LP calamity and thought i would bring it over to an alt thats been in the stables for a while

[sinful laurel]

Makes sense. For reference fyi, my ignite rogue has ~600 % chance to ignite and with all buffs up about 1300 ignite DMG on sheet

[neon ledge]

and whats the dmg per tic?

[sinful laurel]

In monos? ~75k per tick with max ~550 stacks. I am missing a few key damage sources though

My setup is not meta though, I just built it for fun

[neon ledge]

wow...nice! and here i was thinking my 44K per tic was nice with my judgement pally

[faint cape]

With a bee build, you can put more stacks than the UI displays

[neon ledge]

sheesh

[faint cape]

It'll just say 999+

[sinful laurel]

Same with my shurikens build

And a few other dot builds

Funny enough, my puncture build only gets like 400 stacks but does way more damage overall

I just can't maintain the mana is all lol

[neon ledge]

i can only imagine how long it took you to fine tunes these builds for this type of damage output.

[sinful laurel]

Dot builds are fun

Imo

[neon ledge]

anyways...thank you for your time. im going to get back to playing. gonna try not to brick the Calamity...

thanks again

[sinful laurel]

Surely

[neon ledge]

@sinful laurel such a shame...it bricked anyways...i got 38 mana instead 😦

[sinful laurel]

sadge, hate that

[neon ledge]

yeah...same. thank you for your help though. time to go back to the grind and see what i can find.

[river hull]

'posion penetration with plague' is 'plague' there a reference to 'spirit plague' or to something else?

[jolly shell]

It’s plague the dot that acolyte can apply

It’s a large poison damage over time ailment that can proliferate but can not have multiple stacks

[forest vapor]

spirit plague has a node that adds.. uh.. more plague?

the naming is confusing but yes basically a poison dot as well as the necro dot

[eager drum]

is there anyone who can manage to enable this perk? 😄 its like instant death

i pick the most hp regen skills and items but no go.

also passive have all the hp regen etc.

[fresh aspen]

leech is better than hp regen

[eager drum]

i pick all the leech

[desert tree]

@fringe perch

[desert tree]

anybody know if echoes from void knight can proc the shards from volcanus ?

[faint cape]

Like, actually instant? It shouldn't make a noticeable difference to you right away. If you take this, you must periodically deactivate AoD, otherwise yes it will reach a point where it overcomes your leech/regen and you die.

[elder coral]

playing my Rogue, cant decide on bow or daggers, any suggestions or info I should be aware of?

found some nice legendary quivers and daggers so thats a plus

[wanton flame]

yes they can

[lethal flicker]

Hi guys, could someone tell me what and how the anomaly skill is generally used in Last Epoch. The time thing has me a bit confused

For sentinel as a void knight

[quasi hatch]

Time bubble spec on the right side of the tree primarily

[lethal flicker]

Yes, I know that part. I was curious what it does exactly

The description left me a bit confused

[quasi hatch]

You can mostly ignore the "primary" effect of anomaly. But essentially it takes an enemy off the map for a bit and then you can press it again to bring them back or they'll come back after the designated time and dmg/effects are applied. There's a node that also just removes all that and makes it apply everything instantly

[lethal flicker]

But how would taking an enemy off the map and instantly bringing them back again immediately benefit you in any way?

[elder coral]

Read the skill very carefully, its amazing skill, the buffs are amazing

[lethal flicker]

Hm thanks

[desert tree]

Oh mama

[inner karma]

Does "Global" effect minnions/totems?

[sinful laurel]

Not generally, no

What global do you mean?

[inner karma]

"Swipe" has many of these I assumed it was because the Primalist class has many min/tot options

[sinful laurel]

Generally stats only affect minions if they explicitly say minion, with some exceptions

[inner karma]

I guess these just mean for spells too then

[sinful laurel]

Those are all self buffs

[inner karma]

Right so using swipe to buff wolves and bee's is a no go

cheers

[restive epoch]

Dumb question, but how do I upload my char to lastepochtools planner? I found the way in folder, but there is only some *vdf file for autocloud saves

[sinful laurel]

You can't for online chars. Yet

[restive epoch]

Ahh, thanks anyway 😄

[sinful laurel]

Manually is the only way currently, you trying to get build feedback?

[restive epoch]

Yeah more or less, but nothing to worry about 😄

[acoustic thicket]

hello everyone, is better to go dual wielding with Rogue or Sentinel?

[sinful laurel]

Both work with both. Whatever you like more

[acoustic thicket]

How to change my appearance ?

[empty wharf]

So are rune of discovery just underpowered?

I can’t ever find a place to use them

[wanton flame]

with this rune you can farm rare shards

[vocal plank]

Does physical pen with bleed mean increased phys pen against bleeding enemies or bleed does more damage?

[jolly shell]

Bleed does more

[vocal plank]

Ooo, alright cool

[lime dagger]

does anybody know how to finish the "monolith: blood, frost, and death" quest when its bugged?

i had to portal out of the last boss because my character got frozen and I guess that breaks the quest

[forest vapor]

it shouldnt, you should be able to dip out of any boss and come back with some more stability later. what's broken exactly.

[lime dagger]

it just won't complete the quest

and the bridge to the next timeline doesn't open

stuck on this step

[dry narwhal]

you would have to do all the quests in that timeline again except take the other path

but if you have access to the next mono, moving on is better

[lime dagger]

there's no choice, you just talk to the prisoner guy after you kill the boss and that's it

i've already unlocked empowered

[dry narwhal]

the choice is in like the first quest

theres 2 different paths

[lime dagger]

just going back and compelting the quest now

[forest vapor]

yeah i dont think thats a bug, thats just the other path quest

[dry narwhal]

^

[forest vapor]

do the thing again and pick the conversation option you didnt pick last time

[lime dagger]

hm

but there's no option

[forest vapor]

not strictly necessary imho, just get to empowered if your build can hack it

[lime dagger]

you mean start from the first monolith?

[dry narwhal]

the first quest echo of blood, frost, and death

[forest vapor]

no, just the timeline. the two stab quests and the boss, but in the 2nd stab quest pick the other option

i think thats where the option usually is

[lime dagger]

yeah there's no option

[dry narwhal]

there is

[forest vapor]

you literally could not have done the timeline without going through it i do not think

or if you dipped before doing it maybe

[lime dagger]

so, i just went throughthe right side when i ran through normal the first time

[forest vapor]

some bosses there's another guy you have to interact with after

if you portal'd out before doing that it's not done, boss ded or not

[lime dagger]

i went back and killed the boss

apparently there is a bug if you portal out before talking to the prisoner

[dry narwhal]

its not the boss thats the problem here

[lime dagger]

and i think that's what happened

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/lvl-70-monolith-blood-frost-etc-quest-progress-stuck/38565/12

[dry narwhal]

the other path is in the optional quest echoes

its one of those 2 quests

you go up a path in that quest and save either the blood leader or the frost leader

they unlock 2 different timelines

[lime dagger]

hmm

ill try that

does it matter whether i do narmal or empowered?

[forest vapor]

if they have the quest option they arent the optional ones, i did not think. you dont do this in empowered.

[lime dagger]

it wasn't a bug, this worked. i just didn't realize the choice was in the first quest, not after the boss. thanks

[dry narwhal]

[stark stone]

Is there any way to get around the bug with +skill points gear removing random points instead of the same ones?

[desert tree]

It's not random

[stark stone]

It is for me, when I take off my +skills gear it just removes points in random nodes instead of the ones that I added with the extra points.

[sinful laurel]

It's not random, it's deterministic

It avoids removing points from nodes that are essential to your path

[desert tree]

I am trying to find you the quote from Mike

[buoyant sinew]

not removing the points you used the extra levels for is intentional. if it did it would encourage gear swapping

[desert tree]

It chooses the node with the highest amount of pint

#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[stark stone]

Oh, ok. That's what I was trying to do, make it so I can unequip then re-equip a piece to swap a few points to a better bossing node. Makes sense that they don't want that to be possible.

Thanks everyone

[buoyant sinew]

yeah the post Vlad linked to has more on it

[feral tapir]

for squirrel is the 75% more crit chance an addition of 75% or just X% added

[sinful laurel]

More means multiplier

Increased is additive

[feral tapir]

ok so not a really big jump

[sinful laurel]

75% more crit chance is huge

[feral tapir]

isint ervery 100% only 10 more crit chance

[desert tree]

where do you get MORE crit chance ??

[sinful laurel]

I maybe shouldn't have assumed more meant more lol. My bad, at work

[feral tapir]

not sure how the node is working lol

its wordewd different ways

iass

wish the stat screen actually worked for minions

[safe harness]

It depends what the base crit is for your wolves

[feral tapir]

wish it mentioned it

oh minions is base 5

[safe harness]

For example, if you have +8 base crit from the chest armour affix and +2 from an idol, base crit would be 15. If you also have 200% increased chance to crit, they would have 15 * 3 = 45% chance to crit

[hasty scaffold]

WTF?! beating ending the storm no longer lets me go to reign of dragons?!

[feral tapir]

ok so im at 6 right now on the minion stat page got +4 added on chest so im at a base of 10

[safe harness]

If you have points in that node to give 75% more crit it would be 45 * 1.75 = 78.75% chance to crit

[lethal flicker]

Hey guys, I'm a little lost between melee critical chance and general critical chance. Is one better than the other for a melee build?

Or is general better for all around stuff

[safe harness]

Are primarily dealing melee damage?

[lethal flicker]

Rive build yes

Is there an advantage to the melee crit chance at all? No matter how much crit chance I stack on affixes, with the base at 5%, it's sort of crap. Not sure how to get that up

[sinful laurel]

Well first of all, you should get some flat melee crit chance on your weapons/s

[lethal flicker]

yes! How do I get flat crit chances? I've never even seen it on any gear, period

Are uniques the only way to get it?

[sinful laurel]

Staying at base chance is almost impossible to scale up

What weapon are you using?

[lethal flicker]

I'm switching between 2h sword and axes

[sinful laurel]

Both of those can roll melee crit chance as a prefix

[lethal flicker]

Hmm, I guess I've just never seen it. So are you saying melee crit chance is a flat chance and critical chance is a percentage?

[sinful laurel]

If it says "melee critical strike chance xx%" then it's flat

Increased xx% melee critical strike chance or xx% increased critical strike chance are additive on the base

[feral tapir]

hmm what do i mwant most on julra gloves for squirrels?

[lethal flicker]

oo did I craft it right?

[sinful laurel]

Probably melee attack speed?

[sinful laurel]

Hell yeah you did. That's a pretty good yellow ngl

[lethal flicker]

Thanks! So 9% is flat base right? I'm actually pretty stoked haha.

I've been at 5% forever

[safe harness]

Yes

[sinful laurel]

Yeah. So now your base is 14%

So any increased crit chance is now almost 200% more effective than it was before

[lethal flicker]

I love that. Thank you

[feral tapir]

hmmm got a lp 1 julra heres to hopign its something good

BOO it grabed resistance

[fickle sparrow]

if i add 50%increased void damage does that increase the damage of my time rot or is that only scaled with increased dot

[sinful laurel]

Time rot is void so increases to void damage increase it as well

[indigo wagon]

Hey all, I just started playing with my friend a few days ago and we're clearing corruptions 200 atm... we found out that our builds dont synergize at all. I'm playing warpath void Knight and he is playing some lich/reaper. I was hoping you guys could recommend me some semi-support builds or nice combos that we cloud try out? Like the current ground slam paladin with something or summons sprigsn primalist

I want both of the builds to be at least a bit fun 😅

[lethal flicker]

Hey guys, how would you recommend getting resists across the board at endgame? Should you be getting it on your affixes? Or can you skate by with blessings and your passive tree?

[faint cape]

Vinebear is a really strong support, especially for crit spell builds. Pretty much any paladin could be a strong support, too, so I recommend a spell crit one like flame burst or a smite-based build.

[faint cape]

Usually you get a lot from blessings and implicits, then cover whatever your class doesn't through gear/idols

[lethal flicker]

Idols is perfect! Thanks

[indigo wagon]

what about the supplementary build to go with vinebear/paladin?

or was that the flame burst/smite ypu mentioned?

[faint cape]

For this combo, vinebear is one (druid mastery), and the flame burst or smite paladin is the other

[indigo wagon]

Why vinebear in particular? Wouldn't any druid with summon spriggan and warcry work?

like the endless storm one for example

[dry sail]

what exactly does "until approached" mean?

[bronze ocean]

If you are talking about mod that increases speed/crit until approached, the trigger area for it is 4 meters, applied mods are:

40% increased Attack Speed
40% increased Cast Speed
40% increased Movement Speed
40% added Critical Strike Chance

[dry sail]

thx. so basically be in melee range to negate this mod

[bronze ocean]

Yeah

[dry sail]

thx

[lethal flicker]

Hi guys, I’ve been maining a void knight, but my paladin is just gathering rust. I’ve been interested in the smite hammerdin build. Could someone knowledgable link me to a build planner for it that can run through 400+ corruption please?

[desert tree]

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

Wait!

That's not hammer smite sorry

I’ll check it out. Thank you!

[shy frost]

Hey guys can anyone explain this node from Acid Flask Rogue skill. From what i read, the node effect increases if i have more Poison Resistance, but in the same time it says that it scales from uncapped poison resistance. So what is what?

[forest vapor]

I'm not sure where the confusion is coming in, what part is not clear here

both of those things are correct and say more or less exactly the same thing, the second just makes it clear its using the uncapped res value rather than 75% ceiling.

[shy frost]

Thanks! The English is not my first language, so sometimes things are not as clear to me as it should be.

[forest vapor]

it's just making clear it will use all of your poison res, not just the 75% cap

[ruby badge]

we can't upload online character to epoch tool?

[broken zealot]

does glancing blow chance have diminishing returns after a certain point?

[forest vapor]

no way to do that at the moment, no.

[brave ibex]

There's no point going over 100% if that's what you mean

[unreal hinge]

Is the soulfire bastion the best place to find exalted belts? I have a 2 and 3 lp harbinger of stars and all my exalted belts are hot garbage

[forest vapor]

the only place you can target belts specifically, yeah

[unreal hinge]

Is there any benefit of running higher Tiers of the dungeon? You only get better door rewards right?

[forest vapor]

area level, specific boss drops.

different daily rewards.

[broken zealot]

@brave ibex thx

any fixes for global not working? beside the obv troubleshooting stuff like turn it off and on again.

[storm lance]

is worth keeping idols? or do i just sell all that i dont use

[broken zealot]

should i wait to use my keys for max lvl?

[fresh aspen]

Nope , at max level you're gonna have multiple stashes dedicated to keys but never really use them

[broken zealot]

@fresh aspen cool thx

[thin tinsel]

how exactly does "battlecry" from the wolf tree work, when they howl, does it still buff all of them and me or just that specific wolf that howls? and i assume it works with the squirrel helmet right?

[broken zealot]

ok so shadow cascade, shift, smoke bomb, and cascade strike. what am i missing for a shadow bladedancer build?

sorry meant synchronized strike

[brave ibex]

Shurikens is nice if you get the nodes to autocast it with Shift

[broken zealot]

so far i'm loving shadow cascade double cast with shift

is it supposed to proc twice?

holy shit shadows are way better than i was expecting

[restive epoch]

It procs on each of your shadows as far as I remember it... was really fun lvling with it 😄

[broken zealot]

lol yeah it's weird being mana dependent as a rogue but it's super fun

just wish it was easier to know where and how many shadows i have... feels like a lot of guesswork so far

[odd granite]

Is there any helper to optimize the choice of vault of uncertain fate ? Any theory on what is more beneficial between sinking millions of gold to get uber combo or to run several times and sink only thousands at time ?

[soft orchid]

Should I aim to only slam good T20 items when making legendaries

[faint cape]

Just having spriggan is nice if neither of you wants to play vinebear, definitely. The reason I recommend vinebear specifically is that it uses entangling roots for buffs, which gives an extra +40 spell damage on top of the +15 from spriggan (it also has really strong CC, which is nice).

[faint cape]

Howl applies buffs to all allies in an area around the wolf that casts it. The various ways to proc howl do work for squirrels, but their rage ability does not have an area effect, it only affects the squirrel that casts it.

[faint cape]

Depends on the unique you are using. If it's a common 1 LP, it may be more economical to just use an item with only 1 or 2 mods you would want on it (the other 2-3 mods could be T1 or whatever, you'd trash the legendary if it takes any of them). If you have a 4 LP item, you only want to use the perfect item, which should absolutely be T22 at a minimum.

[soft orchid]

Its a 1hp heart with almost perfect rolls

[faint cape]

If it's something you really want to use, then you may want to try an item where you'd be okay with it taking any one of the mods. Probably T21+

[indigo wagon]

is there any way to target farm t20s somehow? I'm at corruption 150-20] atm and I haven't had an upgrade for like 2 days. The most I can usually get is 1 wanted exalted prefix/suffix, almost never on the right base and when I try to reroll other mods(usually all 4 affixes are filled), I can't hit the ones I want

how do I make a perfect t20-21 items with my desired mods?

like for example endurance implicit gloves with crit chance, strength, 100% chance to shred armour and hybrid health

[west vapor]

with the obliteration node in shatter strike it increases the health threshold to kill by 50% each point but how do i know what threshold it starts at

[thin tinsel]

thanks!

[candid elm]

The skill description for Shatter Strike says, "... and instantly kills frozen enemies below 100 health."

[faint cape]

It all comes down to having a good item filter that highlights potential crafting bases for you, and then applying a good crafting strategy. There are several layers of RNG, so it's important to get more 'lever pulls', don't make your filter overly strict.

Once you have good a T20+ item in a slot, you'll mostly only get upgrades in that slot from exalted items, so you may want to target farm for it (dungeons) if you really badly need an upgrade

Drop rate blessings also help

[brisk shoal]

is it normal in thetima to not be able to get back into the portal? :/

Please post bug reports on our forum: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports. Thank you. :smile:

[potent rapids]

Does Lament of the Lost Refuge convert any of the sub skills for Volcanic Orb, such as Explosive Orb, Glyph of Fire, and Explosive Ground to Void also? Based on the wording, I assume not, but want to confirm, and don't currently have a high enough level Mage to test it myself.

[brisk shoal]

thought so, but it's funny, that it almost always happens in thetima for me. either in this tent or in the building north east of the waypoint xD

[faint cape]

I believe it converts all of them

Conversions are notoriously lacking in specifying what they affect, particularly when it comes to subskills

Would it be worth asking in ask-the-devs? I wasn't sure if it'd be better to ask there or here.

[faint cape]

well, almost exclusively for subskills

it has been asked a few times in the past, Mike will usually say "if it doesn't say it, it doesn't do it", but that's not really accurate

the only one I'm not sure of is explosive ground, since I didn't mess with that one, but the others do visually change

Sweet

So i have a lot of melee and throwing flat damage on my build and i'm thinking what will be better for scale of my damage, % physical damage increase or critical strike multi

[indigo wagon]

Ohh okay, thanks for the explanation! I'll look into dungeons a bit more. I have almost half of the tab full of keys

[faint cape]

Heavily depends on your build and current gear. In general, you want whatever you have the least of

[shy frost]

i have 570% increased physical damage and 346% crt multi

i can get around 60% more physical and 25% more crt multi on amulet

i have around 150 throwing flat damage and around 160 melee flat. I'm just curious if i get 60% more physical damage will it give me more damage then 25% crt multi.

How does the gold cost from respeccing mastery points (passives) work? does it continue to go up for each point respec'd forever? or does it cap out eventually?

[faint cape]

The math goes like final / initial = final_multiplier.

For an example, (1 + 5.7 + 0.6) / (1 + 5.7) tells you how much more damage 60% increased damage would actually give you overall

This is just assuming you are dealing 100% phys damage

[faint cape]

It's only based on the node you are refunding. I think nodes farther to the right and nodes with more points invested cost more.

[turbid zinc]

oh, that's much more lenient than i was expecting

ty

i wonder if how many points have been put in the node also affects it, as some of my nodes on the left with 10 points in them cost more than ones on the right with few points in them

[faint cape]

Yeah sorry, that's what I meant by more points invested - just in that node, not your overall points invested

[candid elm]

Yeah and nodes farther in the tree cost a bit more to refund than the earlier nodes

But it's really not much gold to fully refund your entire passive tree, if you wanted to. The gold sinks in this game is the Lightless Arbor dungeon where you throw gold at the vault door and extra stash tabs. Respeccing is pennies in comparison.

Anyone else getting stuck in loading screen when joining friends?

We both have to relog when that happens in order to join up

[lethal flicker]

Hey guys, how do you check your armor shred percentage? I'm not seeing it on the char sheet

[faint cape]

If it's not on the character sheet, you just gotta math it. Hopefully the eventual character sheet overhaul improves this

I just unlocked the empowered, do i pick legendary or go with 50 corruption first.?

is it permanent choice ?

just run 100 corruption wasn't to bad, 🙂

I didnt die main thing lol

[candid elm]

It's not a permanent choice. You can go back to the waypoint and click on the monolith again to change. 50 is the max that you can do in normal. Legendary/Empowered starts at 100. Definitely do Legendary/Empowered.

They also have separate echo webs

[lethal flicker]

Ah ic. Thank you

I actually had a question about corruption as well. Is the only way to increase it hitting those little reset nodes that give you like +11 corruption?

[faint cape]

Yes, that's the only way to change corruption. There are a number of factors that influence the amount you get (so, you could get a lot more or even reduce corruption depending on context)

[lethal flicker]

I see. I'll learn as I go. Another question I had was where to farm common items for the gambling thing with the rune of ascendance

Ah nvm, it works with any rarity. I was mistaken

[cyan wave]

Iv gone though alll of this and still havent unlocked age of winter, do I need to go through the entire thing?

or am i not doing this right

[sinful laurel]

gotta follow the paths, cant travel through the vacuum of space
