[cyan wave]

which path

[sinful laurel]

the rock paths that connect the islands. the only paths visible on the map lol

[cyan wave]

can you just be specific and stop talkin in riddles. Do i need to continue in reign of dragons or go back a map

[sinful laurel]

fall of the outcasts>black sun>ending the storm>fall of the empire>reign of dragons>age of winter/spirits of fire/last ruin

for the most efficient path

i cant be more specific than telling you to follow the paths between islands

[agile junco]

Does anyone have a problem with the Ancient Path quest where you can't talk to the respec NPC to deliver it?

[steep mantle]

Why don’t they change Rogue to “Zed” from league of legends

And can they do trigger to blink like zed. Don’t half ass the mechanics if you already copied 80% of it

[elder coral]

or sell you a skin later lol

[formal stratus]

For my first boots i want eterras path
Effective Level for Legendary Potential: 70
Timeline to target farm: Spirits of Fire ("Unique or Set Boots" echo rewards)
Random Drop (Common)
it says this on tools website. I opened empowered monolith. Which echoes should i do to farm it faster ?

[sinful laurel]

"unique or set boots" echoes it would seem

[formal stratus]

its pretty rare on my web

[sinful laurel]

The farther out from center you are and the higher corr you are the more you will see

I also just reset the web if I don't see a good selection of echoes in the first 30 or so

Lastly, beacon echoes are your friend

[formal stratus]

also is there a way to detect echo type for example kill boss or kill 2 mobs etc

[sinful laurel]

Nope

Randomly selected when you enter

[formal stratus]

but i think if echo gives 21-22 corrpt etc i never seem to defeat 14 waves

[sinful laurel]

Huh???

[formal stratus]

maybe there is a way

[sinful laurel]

You can tp out of an echo and reenter to reroll the mobs and objective, but an arena echo will always be an arena echo

[formal stratus]

timeline stability 21-22

is pretty straight forward for me like 40 echo

or maybe im lucky

[sinful laurel]

Not sure what you are asking

[formal stratus]

echo type depends on up to "x" bonus timeline stability maybe

[sinful laurel]

What do you mean echo type?

There are two main echo types, regular and arena

You can reroll regular echo types as many times as you want for different goals and enemy types

[main lion]

What is the highest mobility class?

[fossil crag]

will there be pvp in this game?

[faint cape]

Probably rogue

[faint cape]

Eventually, yes it's pretty likely

[full wing]

Was there a change made to Shaman minions up until patch yesterday I could have both a crow and a sprigan form summoned and as of this morning i can only have one out at a time.

[steel merlin]

Did you check if somehow you have now one of the single companion passives in the tree?

[full wing]

No passives have changed i logged in yesterday and all days previous doing monos with two companions and then this morning no matter the combination only 1 companion at a time.

[desert tree]

Just to be on the safe side can you screenshot your passives and your gear?

[fresh aspen]

Sounds like u changed ur skill tree or smth

[full wing]

sent

[full wing]

as stated above i have not made any changes in leveling or gear since logging in yesterday and today.

[fresh aspen]

what about ur spriggan form tree

[fresh aspen]

did u change the bottom additional spriggan out

"Friend of the forest"

[full wing]

i have not made any changes to the skill tree havent even leveled up between days

[fresh aspen]

well u need friend of the forest

that +2 to spriggan form can easily be changed without noticing

[desert tree]

You don't need friends of the forest, if you summon your crows and then your spriggan you should be able to get 1 of each. Friend of the forest gives you a second spriggan if you already have one but you are not at max companion

[restive epoch]

Is there any way to convert fire damage to void for Cinder Strike bladedancer?

[full wing]

ok i am unsure how the tree changed and i didnt add or take away points but i will respec accordingly thank you for your help.

[balmy pilot]

Im new to the game who is the best character to start with for new peoples

[full wing]

not sure how the change happened but i thank you.

[fresh aspen]

my bad

[restive epoch]

I heard primalist druid, but I would really go with whatever catches your eye (starting a new character isnt bad at all and going through campaing can be fast enough), and later on you can change almost anything (the only permanent choice is which mastery you choose during the campaign)

[desert tree]

Does it work?

[fresh aspen]

maybe he just didnt have both crows and spriggan on his skill bar

[full wing]

no i can only have one no matter the summon order have equipped and un equipped gear as well no changes

[fresh aspen]

hmm this is weird now

[desert tree]

Yep

[full wing]

can only have one companion at a time it seems

[fresh aspen]

Waitt... i just noticed u have boardmans helmet...

thats the cause

@full wing

and u said u didnt change anything

[desert tree]

I am not familiar with that helmet

[desert tree]

Oh I see the 1pc bonus

[full wing]

ive had that on for a few days with no issue but i dodnt notice the one companion line i will change it out

[fresh aspen]

one companion + friends of the forest is my guess

[full wing]

so i should be able to weat that helm if i spec into friend of the forest

[fresh aspen]

erm i tested it now, it didnt work. with that helmet only 1 companion is allowed

[full wing]

so i took off the helm and summoned things then put it back on and it works with two companins still

[fresh aspen]

yeah its weirdf

it lets u have ur companions if u have them out and equip that helmet

[fresh aspen]

however if u summon ur companions with that helmet on it only lets u have 1

[full wing]

so if i run into the issues i should be able to just take helm off summon then put it back on

[fresh aspen]

yeah but its a bug i guess and shouldnt let u do that

[full wing]

ill file a report for it still

glad there is resolution

[desert tree]

@fresh aspen

[native sail]

Snapshotting does this.

[jolly shell]

The (1) set “bonus” on the helmet is one companion max

[faint cape]

Companions are not really supposed to snapshot like normal minions, but they definitely still do in some cases

from what I understand, all "non-snapshot" mechanics need to be manually created, since snapshotting is the default behavior for everything - not surprising they might miss that set effect

[balmy pilot]

@restive epochty for the suggestion the character is fun to play im liking it so far. Ive heard of Last Epoch from a youtuber i watch named Faze Jev he said he plays it and i wanted to try it

[restive epoch]

You're welcome 😄 Druid has pretty good variety of ways how to play it and the fact you can pretty much respec anything (well except the mastery you choose during campaign) is great

[grave willow]

Does anyone know if there will be a group finder in this game?

[storm lance]

what would be next upgrade on relic slot for vk warpath?

[hushed thunder]

Question all ... are dungeons a good source of glyphs, specifically looking for some despair. 🙂

[faint cape]

As far as I know, some system better than the LFG chat is a "maybe, would be nice to have"

[sinful laurel]

Yes

[faint cape]

Lightless arbor is probably the best place to get despair glyphs. Sometimes sanctum is good, depending on the daily.

[hushed thunder]

Perfect! Thanks. 🙂

[faint cape]

A better base item for sure. Maybe crit multi if you're a crit build, and probably some class-specific prefixes will get you some good stuff.

[formal stratus]

Is there anyone can help me farm spesific unique item

[patent brook]

Bit bored with end game farming and wanting to make another alt. Anyone got a lead on a good stun heavy build? I have some good stun items in my stash and wondering if there is a class that could really go all in on stunning enemies

[desert tree]

Forge Guard?

@patent brook

[rapid heath]

When are we getting some news about the mysterious 0.9.1 patch? Any hints from the devs?

[sinful laurel]

Blog posts start one week before release

[rapid heath]

I see, thx

[rocky dagger]

hey guys
I'm working on an ignite sorc, lvl 84 and hoping for some direction or guidance. i just recently switched blackhole out for enchant weapon.
Here's my profile:
https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/planner/bs01065o

[lethal flicker]

Hey guys, when you're trying to push corruption, how many gazes of Orobyss do you go for before hitting the node?

[sleek sluice]

between 4-8 earlier for me usely, remember to push 1 timeline high first then do the others

since you have catch up mechanic for the other timelines after

like go for 200+ if u can manage then the others are easy to catch up, and easier to farm blessing after

[lethal flicker]

Thank you. I'll go for 4 then. It's a pain because I keep running into the echo resets no matter which direction I go

So I end up bactracking a bit

[subtle light]

Is there a way to set your chat to auto switch to Party after joining a party?

[acoustic thicket]

Anyone ever do this and pull their hair out?
Dashing through a log or a wall and then realize you just bricked a key :3

[restive epoch]

Hmmmm, my character was doing 500-600 bleed stacks to bosses at 160ish corrupt, then my game crashed and suddenly I do like 150 stacks max... any idea what happened...? 😄

[storm lance]

is there any good build for that?

[sinful laurel]

yes

[restive epoch]

Nevermind, I guess I had a massive brain fart and had no clue how channeling flurry works with "on hit" procs etc 😄 guess we learning

[languid citrus]

is there an issue with Warpath pathing? I'm playing VK warpath and the channel constantly gets interupted with "I cannot do that" in the middle of spinning?

[lyric flume]

What weapons would you guys advice for a lightning Seipe Werebear build? I now have swords dual wielded (lvl 30 still).

[desert tree]

Crystal sword and/or katana

[lyric flume]

👍🏻 thx

[brisk geode]

Hey there, basic question you've probably seen a thousand times already and I'm sorry about that, but what advices would y'all give to someone who's around lv 75 and wants to reach the max level asap ? I'm currently spamming monoliths but is it the best option ? Should I keep my dungeon/endless arena keys for when I'm lv 100 or use them now ? I have no real plan right now and it's kinda bothering me

Thanks in advance for your advices !

[uncut night]

noob question: do skill like spirit plague of acolyte count as hit on initial cast? the description says it just apply a dot (in opposite to hungering souls, that do dot on hit)

[swift fiber]

I really like the concept of Spreading Flames, but I'm a bit disappointed that it only allows one stack. Is there anything else in game where you can apply multiple stacks of DOT and when the creature dies it transfers to another nearby creature? I would love to setup something like a chain reaction of basic mobs exploding

[swift fiber]

For keys you will have to complete lower level tiers before unlocking tier 4 of each type. You can hold the keys to higher levels, but I'd suggest exploring at least T1 of each

[swift fiber]

I don't think so. It doesn't say "on hit" it applies the plague, just if an enemy is in the area.

[brisk geode]

Alright thanks for the tip

[near vine]

any work around fixes on the dungeon door in soulfire bastion, reset my game and door still wont open. thanks

[swift fiber]

I play Warpath a lot and never come across that bug. My best guess would be somehow warpath is trying to be recast while still in use. It doesn't have a cooldown really, but when you are holding it, it is greyed out as if it is on cooldown. Very weird

[noble viper]

is proc'ed lightning blast from disintegrate tree will benefits from lightning blast tree?

[swift fiber]

I'm playing a similar Sorcerer, and my observations are that it doesn't benefit from the tree. Whenever it procs, it doesn't seem to chain or fork like manual cast does. That being said, I've never specifically tested it

[noble viper]

I read other similar post, they said tendrils node benefits from lightning blast tree
but not some node like these 2 where the tooltip said it

[swift fiber]

Fair enough. I was specifically thinking of Chain Lightning and Divergence nodes though, which don't specify. Either way, my answer is just anecdotal observation and not formalized testing

[faint cape]

yes, always

[faint cape]

Are you running out of mana? Did you take the abyssal echoes node?

[faint cape]

There are no stacking effects that spread like that. However, spirit plague or infernal shade can be built to deal enough damage to really quickly clear things. I think infernal shade is probably the better of the two since we have ghost maker now.

[hasty tartan]

Do we think Rising Flames is act 10? If it is, I might be coming back then 🙂

[sinful laurel]

That's one of the rumors, and Mike said in non specific words something about campaign being part of rising flames iirc

[unkempt sand]

I'm leveling a poison/bleed bladedancer. So far poison and bleed seem to scale with chance to poison/bleed, and increased damage over time. Are there any other variables I can adjust to increase the damage further?

I mean obviously attack speed will let me apply stacks faster

[sinful laurel]

Penetration, resistance shred, % poison damage, % physical damage, % global damage, conditional damage increases like damage while wielding xxx, damage increases within the skill tree that applies the ailment that don't specify hits

[unkempt sand]

ah, so for that last one an example would be "Shadow Cascade does +10% damage"

thanks for that

[sinful laurel]

That one is a bit different actually. Some nuance here

Ailments applied by skills from shadows don't benefit from the "increased damage of skills from shadows" affix

[languid citrus]

I have 600 hours on this game, so it's not a mana issue. I did take the echo node, and the channel is stopped while spinning.

[sinful laurel]

Are you numlocking a buff skill like sigils?

[faint cape]

Most likely yeah

[faint cape]

They definitely should scale from that

[faint cape]

I don't think mana scales based on hours in game. Not the regular echo node, but abyssal echoes. It costs mana, so can't be sustained without the mana per 3 sec node.

[sinful laurel]

If shadow daggers doesn't should other ailments? I was always under the impression shadows functioned differently

[faint cape]

The shadow daggers ailment doesn't deal damage, which is why it doesn't scale - it just procs the shadow dagger skill when it hits max stacks, which will come from you rather than your shadows

[sinful laurel]

Hmmmmm true

But then don't the other ailments come from "me" too? Weird interactions all up in shadows mechanics

[faint cape]

No, I think that damage from shadows just applies a generic "increased damage" modifier to everything the shadows use, which should be inherited down to ailments and subskills

[sinful laurel]

I could see that sure. Probably worth some testing unless it's just known

I can type

[native sail]

IIRC increased damage of skills used by shadows doesn't affect shadow daggers because they're not using it

[faint cape]

I would probably test it if I made a build around it, just to be sure. But should work.

[sinful laurel]

I have an ignite rogue I could test it on. If I get some time I will

[sonic quest]

Anyone have recommended control layouts for steam deck?

[ionic forge]

does archmage override anything that adds to your skeletal mage count like the passive 'disciples of necromancy'?

[lethal flicker]

Hey guys, any tips on survival in empowered monoliths for a newish player? My damage is fine. Resists are around 50-60%. Crit avoidance is at 100%. My hp is around 3k. Leech is pretty high as well. But as a rive melee sentinel, it feels like the moment I stop to kill a group, I get insta killed around 300 corruption

Like the game doesn’t give me much time to ever stand still, but as a melee, I don’t have much of a choice you know?

Feels like ranged builds do the same or more damage without that setback. It’s been bothering me a bit

[ionic comet]

anyone know the drop rate on silvafond?

[fresh aspen]

U can check that on tunklabs

[ionic comet]

eesh this is gonna take a long time to drop

[faint cape]

Yes

[bright geode]

hi does anyone know if increased area for area skills work on manifest inspiration?

[naive valve]

Is there like a guide or something to learn the game?

[minor kindle]

vk?

[lethal flicker]

Yes!

[minor kindle]

Post your planner and someone may be able to offer better advice.
Vk is not something I'm familiar with.
But I've often heard that

1. Titan heart, if using 2h weapon
2. high block chance shield, if using 1h weapon
3. cap your resistances to 70+%
4. what is your movement speed? As a melee character I strongly recommend to keep more than 70%
5. more armor
6. 60% endurance
   etc.

[fresh aspen]

vk also generally relies on leech to live, especially Rive

[faint cape]

Is it an area skill?

[safe island]

hello, anyone knows if this node improves the BASE 50/s healing of cons. ground by 25%, or just adds 25% healing effectiveness?

[faint cape]

I'll add to what Mistia said. More health is always good. Make sure to get other mitigation where you can, like the reduced damage from nearby enemies in the sentinel tree.

[fresh aspen]

anvil stance is prob the only form of DR in sentinel tree

[faint cape]

It says "more", so it'll be an overall multiplier

[faint cape]

That's in the forge guard tree though

[fresh aspen]

rive build absolutely goes for the forgeguard tree

[safe island]

so it multiplies with (base heal)*healing eff. yea? it would be too good then

[minor kindle]

It doesn't mention healing effectiveness, so it should work directly with healing rather than effectiveness imo

[faint cape]

Yes, though idk about the too good bit. I assume the duration is multiplicative as well (though it doesn't specify), so all this does is mean the heal is 25% faster, but the same total amount

Oh yeah, and 20% less damage

[safe island]

hmmmm... i need some calculation then

i only use judgement as support so the damage is not a problem

[lethal flicker]

Yeah, I just don’t see it working very well at high corruption (my VK). It does exceptionally well as a void cleave bot though. It falters a little in single target compared to the rive build, but it’ll just be what it is for now

I just don’t think 0.9 is the friendliest to strict melee builds. I’ll adapt

[alpine token]

Primalist question. When swapping directly from 1 form to another does it reset your Rage or keep the same timer?

[fringe perch]

Is anyone using lethal mirage here by any chance?

[buoyant sinew]

Your rage refills

[main jasper]

Anyone got any experience with flurry and multishot? i can't for the life of me figure out why my proc rate of multishot is sometimes 3-4x of its normal proc rate!
sometimes the skill is like a damn machinegun, while other times it only procs once every second or so

[hollow sentinel]

Hi, does the game have seasons like Diablo or PoE? So kind of like you have to start anew, if you want the new content

[balmy current]

It will do but the've only recently release MP so it's going to be a while before they can start doing seasons.

[hollow sentinel]

Hm ok, thanks.

[balmy current]

There have been a few posts/comments about it going off significantly faster than it should.

[main jasper]

yeah, it's super odd. It seems like its gaining proc-chance the longer i play. I thought for a second it was snapshotting attack speed, and it was the Arrow Storm doing it.

[void sigil]

playing a static orb sorc, which one should i be using lol, the guide im following suggests prism wraps but the left item gives me so much hp lol

[visual hill]

Is there Any way in shape or form to let you use Voidknights voidcleave with a Spear/mace ? and if you make a legendary you need a 2h sword with a exhaulted 2h sword, not just any 2 hander right ?

[abstract aspen]

do i need enough stability to enter the quest echo of my partymate

[forest vapor]

yeah, i believe so

[lethal flicker]

Hey guys, does increased elemental damage affect your void damage?

[native sail]

Nope

Elemental is fire, lightning, and cold only

[lethal flicker]

Same as resists huh. Thanks

bummer

[faint cape]

No, and yes

[faint cape]

No, you can enter. You will not get any rewards from the boss though if you don't (3rd quest echo)

It still counts as a boss completion either way, so you get a bridge unlocked

[balmy current]

No, Void Cleave requires a 2h sword/axe & yes, a 2h legendary sword would require a 2h exalted sword.

[frosty beacon]

how come a 2nd quest echo would be locked on the lvl 80 monolith? im lvl 80

[sleek sluice]

You need Stability for each quest

[frosty beacon]

and my stability is maxed

[sleek sluice]

oh

did u do the first quest?

show image

[frosty beacon]

pretty sure, im gonna feel like a big dummy if i didnt. ill check in a bit, i think i did, would there be any other reason?

[sleek sluice]

not that i can think of

[faint cape]

Nope, exactly 2 things needed - stability and the previous quest echo completed

[frosty beacon]

im an idiot, i saw gold on the first and assumed i completed it, my bad, thanks for the replies

[twin crest]

Are monolith buffs active account wide? Or just for that character

[native sail]

Just for that character

[twin crest]

o ok!

[quick spear]

hey everyone, how long should i look to spend in the 58 mono's? I've not added any corruption to this set but I've unlocked 62 & 66 mono's.

[forest vapor]

as little time as possible. beeline to empowered if your build is strong enough.

[quick spear]

sweet appreciate it. I need to start putting the gear together to be functional and hit my defensive caps.

[sinful laurel]

You will be able to do that much more efficiently in empowered monos, as long as you can handle them

[bold sundial]

does egoism counter blind fury? can i stack it?

[faint cape]

What are these? The dread shade things?

[balmy current]

No, Blind Fury's effect will always be multiplicative with Egosim

Ie, it'll always be blinded.

[faint cape]

Yeah, if we're talking "always crit" this is just shorthand for +100% crit chance. With no other modifiers, blind puts your minions back down to 52.5% crit chance. Usually you ignore this though, since you get 100% increased crit chance from the tree.

[bleak bramble]

Am I imagining things, or does standing in front of Heorot when he says not to sometimes prevent him from charging?

[robust elbow]

Whats a good corruption level to push a mono before catching the others up? 200 or so?

[candid elm]

In the timelines that have corruption lower than your highest corruption timeline, you'll see bonus corruption listed on each shade. So one option is to get one timeline to the level you prefer, then raise the others faster with the bonus.

[robust elbow]

Yeah. Was just curious to what people normally go to. \

[candid elm]

Oh, whatever you're comfortable with your build. The shade has some uniques that only can drop at higher corruption, but nothing is past 200.

Some people feel like 300 is a good point. But you can go to whatever you like

[thin tinsel]

is there a build that uses both the poison and the crit affix from lirakas claws?

[robust elbow]

Gotcha. Im at 150 atm and smashing. Knowing 200 is the break point to get all drops helps. Ill at least get to there and see how it feels. Thanks for the info

[candid elm]

Yeah that is just the shade that has that corruption drop level thing

[native sail]

I mean, play Shurikens as a hit-based build and max out Entry Points on its tree.

[thin tinsel]

i dont have a rogue yet but i have like 7 of these gloves thats why i am asking, trying to get some space back 😄

but reading the passive i can see why both are good

[native sail]

Yup.

[bleak bramble]

Does speccing hammer throw into spiral or nova help hit small melee enemies? I'm playing the version with a volley of 5 hammers and at least 3-4 whiff at close range

[faint cape]

That, or even just having multiple projectiles

Oh, well even more will miss with nova. Orbiting lets you hit really easily, but also reduces your projectiles

[bleak bramble]

I can chunk Heorot for example because he's big but the Sons of Artor wolves are unkillable

[faint cape]

I don't think multiple hammers from one throw can hit the same enemy unless they are spiral/orbit?

[little viper]

looking to farm gear with Bleed pen / physical pen with bleed / bleed damamge and duration. almost at 40K affixs .. only have 1 / 1 / 4 .. do i need to make a rouge in order to better farm this stuff?

[little viper]

that is correct. orbit will to that. the nova and cone throwing will not.

[faint cape]

Need to highlight things you need, and yeah class-specific affixes are way more common on gear, which will drop way more often when playing that class

[little viper]

that is why i was wondering if i should make a rouge. I was trying to get it for my bleed shield throw build on paladin. but they are not dropping. 😦

[faint cape]

If it's a rogue shard, it won't help your paladin build. Unless I am misunderstanding what you mean

[little viper]

if you are looking for MORE smite projectiles. i suggents speccing into shield throw. those things bounce off everything. using the same smite throw adorn idles. 😄

@faint cape they are body shards / relic shards.

i am just going to play on the rouge / marksman for a while with some new loot filtering.

[faint cape]

Okay, as long as you aren't trying to use rogue shards on your sentinel build, since you can't

[lethal flicker]

Guys, what's the difference between bow physical damage and physical damage when it comes to standard non-elemental shooting?

[faint cape]

There is no difference for a pure physical bow attack between "+bow damage", "+bow physical damage", or "+physical damage"

[lethal flicker]

But there’s a big difference between increased damage vs +physical damage right?

[native sail]

Yeah but that isn't what you asked

[faint cape]

Yeah, definitely. Added is like a flat damage bonus modified by the skill's effectiveness of added damage. Increased is a multiplier to damage you deal.

[lethal flicker]

Thank you. Also guys, I'm trying to get Peak of the Mountain from Lightless Arbor. It says it's a 50% chance or so. Does it drop from the boss? Or from a random mob?

[sinful laurel]

Boss

[lethal flicker]

thank you

[faint cape]

As above; and higher tier means both higher drop chance and higher LP chance

[light folio]

Hello, ever since the latest patch my game keeps crashing. I reinstalled it and tried to verify the files on steam and still crashes my game

[sterile widget]

I suggest collecting your log files and contacting support or posting on the forums

!support

[ripe brook]

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

[sterile widget]

If you search log files on that site it tells you where to find them

Also, open your log file in Notepad and search for "corrupt". There have been a number instances on forums where a corrupted file is reported in the logs but Steam can't detect it

If you got one of those, you can delete it and re run verify files

[light folio]

I cant find the log file I only found the bsmlogs and its empty

[sterile widget]

No log file? :/

Support might be able to help more with identifying where to go next

[bleak bramble]

I'm following this build: https://www.lastepochtools.com/build-guides/void-knight-hammer-throw-disintegrating-aura. I could be just lacking damage. Yet I haven't had damage issues with Heorot himself or other bosses, only his wolf adds, so maybe I'm whiffing hits

[little viper]

i have not tried the build yet 😦 i haven't used disintegrating aura.

[sharp karma]

Cant get into lightless harbor any reason?

im in a location called Titans Rest

and the door wont open

[sterile widget]

Could be bug or problem with your install. Or something else.

1. Make sure you got a key
2. Verify Steam files
3. Group with somebody and see if you can get in the door

[crisp kelp]

would this be the best channel for me to ask general questions on the game systems? (new player just started tonight)

[sleek sluice]

@crisp kelp yes 🙂

ask away

[crisp kelp]

awesome just wanted to be sure

im loosely following the sorc lvling guide from maxroll and did snag the lootfilter they had for that guide (while looking through it myself so that i have an idea on how it works and make modifications to it if i want to). Im still trying to wrap my head around how to look at gear though

from what i understand the only way to desynth gear is with the runes so i didn't want to waste them on blue/yellow gear so i've been mostly selling gear that i pick up that makes it through the filter or the gear i replace when i upgrade. Generally speaking when looking at gear you may not equip right away, should i mainly be targeting affixes that im going to extract with runes?

[sleek sluice]

So you have two ways of getting affixes from gear.

1. Rune of removal = removes a single affix per rune at random but gives you the full amount of tiers in affixes, so t4 = 4 runes,
2. Shattering random amount of runes when shattered.

Early on yes focus on only using shattering or removal on affixes you are lacking

but you will get loads as drop as time goes on

don't bother picking up gear you don't need, selling them gives almost no gold

Only pickup if you need to shatter/removal it or will craft on it

[crisp kelp]

so one of the things i noticed about the loot filter is it recolors high value affixes early endgame, which i imagine are affixes that have high tier rolls?

[sleek sluice]

Correct

usely it recolors t4+ some filters does t3+

since using removal on low rolls would be a waste

and crafting on full t1 gear is not gonna work well (youll run out of Forging potential)

so it tells you heres a good item to craft or shatter

[crisp kelp]

so the tier an affix is in is a direct representation of the cost (# of runes) i need to pull it

[sleek sluice]

Correct, you have 5 tiers, if you have a t1 you need 4x of that same rune to get it to t5 unless you proc something called critical succes which can give you a free upgrade

but low chance of proccing

if you see guide say for example focus on getting t20 gear = 4x affixes maxed to t5

[crisp kelp]

okay i assume that type of stuff is for endgame

[sleek sluice]

You are locked based on your level on how many tiers you can have, at some point you can get full t20

[crisp kelp]

ahh okay that makes sense

[sleek sluice]

youll see this when you start to craft on gear, "says level X required"

[crisp kelp]

so how do relics/uniques/set items factor into that equation?

[sleek sluice]

you cannot craft on uniques/sets (unless a unique has legendary potential) which gives you a chance to put an Exalted item ( an item which drops with t6/t7 affix at lvl 90+ area)

most uniques/sets has lvl requirement some does not

which are good for leveling

[crisp kelp]

so should i just stash unqiues for now (especially if they're not for a class im currently playing?)

[sleek sluice]

i would yes

you might end up swapping class and want to try it

[crisp kelp]

so are the uniques fixed in how they roll?

like they dont scale at all?

[sleek sluice]

Correct

that unique u linked is one of the ones without lvl requirement

[crisp kelp]

same with relics like that tome?

[sleek sluice]

so its quite low stats

they have roll values, so you can drop them with better rolls

if you hold CTRL+ALT youll see the value range

[crisp kelp]

this is another one i found that has a lvl req

okay thats starting to make a lot more sense tyvm

[sterile widget]

While you have item tooltip up, you can hold control and alt to see the affix ranges, including for unqiues 🙂

Derp

[sleek sluice]

ay i wrote that xD

[sterile widget]

Just realised

[sleek sluice]

Morning :p

[sterile widget]

530pm

[sleek sluice]

haha fair

[sterile widget]

Just did not read that line

[sleek sluice]

its 9.30 am here

[crisp kelp]

ahh good morning 😄

[sterile widget]

Indeed. No more coffee for me even if I might seem to need it haha

[sleek sluice]

haha

[crisp kelp]

when do i get my mastery? the guide i was looking at said dont spend passives past 20 till i get my mastery but havent come across the opportunity yet, was just c urious

[sleek sluice]

i think when you reach 25 if i remember right

just remember once you choose mastery you are locked to that and cant respec it

but you can still put half the tree of the other mastery aswell

[crisp kelp]

aye, i knew i was gonna go sorc from the getgo

always the first spec/class i try to play in arpgs

[sleek sluice]

fair

[crisp kelp]

then once i get a decent foundation on the systems in the game i take the other classes for a test drive

is there a way to toggle which ring is being compared?

[sterile widget]

End chapter 3, start chapter 4 🙂 press escape key to see chapter you are on

[sterile widget]

Unfortunately, not at this time

[crisp kelp]

ahh okay, ty

[acoustic thicket]

Hello. I hope you are all well. Is it possible to play in co-op? like someone else would join with their computer

to do quests, etc together

[faint cape]

Yes, definitely

[river hull]

"a portion of mana gained on hit is converted to ward" - if you're at full mana, does it still create any ward, or does it only create ward if you are low on mana and 'gain' mana?

[faint cape]

The mana gain is converted, so you don't gain that % as mana anymore. Should work regardless of your mana.

[amber void]

crit mult use the base damage of the skill or the total non crit dmg?

[faint cape]

Total hit damage

[misty brook]

Does anyone know, does less bonus damage from critical strikes work above 100%? Can it make you take less damage from crits than a normal hit?

[tacit edge]

Hey, I have an issue, I just created a new character and it been loading the first zone for like five min so far, and it still doesnt load

Is that a known issue ? How do I fix that ? I tried restarting the game

[safe harness]

No, it’s less bonus damage taken

[fiery rapids]

Is Paladin good in single play? Or is it specifically designed for multiplayer?

[misty brook]

Ahh yeah of course, thanks

[tacit edge]

Also my game take VERY LONG to load zone even tho it is on ssd

[buoyant sinew]

Paladin is a good solo class

Even if you completely ignore the party synergy bits of it it has a strong tree and a mastery skill that's basically just free stats

My first solo level 100 was on Paladin

[fiery rapids]

thats good to know, cause I like the theme of holy classes and lightning

thanks for the help

[earnest sandal]

Guys, are bosses on the arena randomly spawned?

[candid elm]

I believe so. I think there's three different ones

[crisp kelp]

i know that once a mastery is chosen it cannot be changed at all, but regarding changing the other aspects of a build...

respecing passives is simply just a gold investment at any time,, correct?

as for the skills, its a matter of depecializing whatever i currently have spec'd which removes all the xp i had on that skill (down to the min skill lvl, which i hope goes up as i lvl) and then having to farm again to get the xp back up on the new skill right? I assume the other option in respec (removing skill points) is better for making smaller changes to a skill tree since it wont reset you all the way assuming you dont remove all the nodes?

[buoyant sinew]

respecing passives is simply just a gold investment at any time,, correct?
correct. not literally any time since you have to do it at one of the respec NPCs in town, but otherwise yes. the gold investment is also not substantial relative to the amounts you get in the endgame.

and yes, despecialising and selecting a new skill is how to swap skills, and removing points one by one is indeed just for minor adjustments as you mentioned. this can be a bit of a hindrance if you do it a lot in the early game, though in the mid to late endgame it takes maybe 5 minutes to relevel a skill to 20

[crisp kelp]

does the min skill lvl ever go up?

[buoyant sinew]

yes, based on your character level. it tops out at 10

[crisp kelp]

and max is 20 for each skill?

[buoyant sinew]

max from experience is 20, yes. you can also get extra levels from gear, as far as I know there's no specific cap to those

which means you can get 30 or more on some skills with the right gear

[crisp kelp]

awesome, tyvm!

[native sail]

The cap is 30 but almost nothing can actually reach it

[buoyant sinew]

oh is the hard cap actually 30? my bad

[sinful laurel]

You can hit 30 with det arrow but idk of any others

[native sail]

I think Vengeance?

[lethal flicker]

Hey guys, I'm at 535% increased physical damage on my marksman. Should I add more? Or should I go for cold damage (I'm wearing Mourningfrost)

[sinful laurel]

That is such a confusing question. Why are you increasing phys damage AND wearing morningfrost?

[lethal flicker]

the dps is much higher with it on with +1 cold damage per point of dexterity

like much higher

[sinful laurel]

Right. But then why stack phys damagr

What build are you doing?

[lethal flicker]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=254dV0iiqOM It's been really nice so far

[native sail]

Pretty sure your damage would just be straight up better if you ditch the phys and go cold

[lethal flicker]

Perhaps 🤔

[sinful laurel]

Flight of the first is even adaptive bow DMG on the implicit

[native sail]

I'm still very unsure on how adaptive works.

[sinful laurel]

I personally wouldn't do it with morningfrost or flight of the first at all

But that's just me

[native sail]

Boots are... a tiny bit bait. Flight is just too janky to use imo

[sinful laurel]

I actually need to take that back, Ms and flurry are both phys tagged so the adaptive on the bow will be phys too

I personally would do that build with drelkors

The flat phys on drelkors is comparable to morningfrost without the drawbacks

Extra arrows, and much easier mana cost

[native sail]

Stacking 100%+ phys and cold res to function as a build

[sinful laurel]

Its worth of you are doing bowmage since icicle has 900% DMG eff, but not worth here

[lethal flicker]

The issue this patch is the lack of critical vulnerability. Without a bow with +% crit chance, it's just not viable as a crit build

The flight is mainly used for the crit chance alone

[native sail]

So get a bow with crit chance

[lethal flicker]

max is 4%. It sort of works well enough

But 0% isn't viable

[native sail]

God forbid you need gear investment

[sinful laurel]

With an obsidian and peak of the mountain you can. Get a very decent crit chance

[lethal flicker]

currently using an assassin's recurve bow actually with the 4%

I varied his build a bit with chill and stun on it to supplement the passive tree damage increases

[sinful laurel]

Even with a drelkors you can get a very decent crit chance. Flurry has increased base and Ms has massive increased %

[lethal flicker]

I'll look into it

[sinful laurel]

If you are focusing on Ms procs for damage you want to focus on slow too, just fyi

60% MORE damage to slowed targets. For just three skill points

[lethal flicker]

yeah, hence the chill 🙂

on the recurve

well slow

[native sail]

IIRC all of them stack

[sinful laurel]

Chill isn't slow lol

[native sail]

Also yeah, slow is slow, chill is chill

When it says "slowed targets" it MEANS slowed targets. Not "targets with reduced movement speed"

[sinful laurel]

Man MS tree is one you could use 30 points on...ugh

So many good things in it

[sinful laurel]

That's the one

Flurry even has a built in guaranteed slow if you have the points for it

[lethal flicker]

Hey guys, does the freeze rate multiplier work with chill?

[sinful laurel]

wdym?

[leaden fractal]

hello everyone. is there a way to put crafting materials in loot filter?

[sinful laurel]

like does FRM increase your chance to chill?

[lethal flicker]

I was curious if you could put a chance to "freeze" on your weapon through chill and then make use of the "freeze rate multiplier" stat

sorry, chance to "chill" I mean

[sinful laurel]

freeze rate multi increases the chance to freeze. chance to chill increases the chance to chill

two separate effects/ailments

[lethal flicker]

Ah I see. Bummer

I have 319% freeze rate multiplier I don't know what to do with xD

[sinful laurel]

get a skill that freezes i guess

or drop the multi

[lethal flicker]

Yeah, thanks. I just thought it would be cool to work it into my setup.

[sinful laurel]

what setup?

[faint cape]

Yes, freeze rate is the coolest stat

[sinful laurel]

oooof

yokes

[agile junco]

I am doing a lightning mage and I got this Opulent Focus catalyst. It seems SO MUCH better than my Osprix Skull but it drops my DPS on Lightning Blast from 3247 to 2648.

What am I missing here? Shouldn't Spell Damage and Elemental Damage be the same thing for lightning damage?

[sinful laurel]

likely due to losing cast speed and base crit chance

also, dont trust tooltips

does it do less damage? then it does less damage

[agile junco]

Funny thing, I went out to benchmark it and got dc'ed

Just lost my HC character so it doesn't matter anymore

Thank you anyway

[sinful laurel]

oooooof

sorry

[agile junco]

Happens, early access 🥹

[runic sedge]

keep in mind, that osprix skull is giving you base critical strike chance, which is a big deal. Skills have 5% base crit. If you then get 100% increased crit strike chance, that would put you at 10% crit chance. However if you get +5% base crit strike chance, then you are now at 10% base, and 100% increased will get you to 20% crit chance

so essentially, that +4% spell crit strike chance is very nearly doubling your crit chance with spells, assuming you get no other base crit from tree or elsewhere

[agile junco]

Oh, that makes a lot of sense. I didn't know that the Osprix's implicit was base crit chance

[crisp kelp]

is there a way to do the numlock trick where i can have a skill like flame ward auto cast when its off cooldown?

[sinful laurel]

yes, works the same as any other numlocking

[crisp kelp]

i just need to bind the numpad keys to the skill

when i hit numlock the skill goes grey and doesnt auto cast anymore

only after i hit the numkey again does it light up but it never autocasts

[faint cape]

Might have to do with the extra charge? I was numlocking flame ward just fine last I played, but I have noticed some conditions can cause numlock to fail, just not sure what and can't remember what it wasn't working on lol

[crisp kelp]

ahh no worries, i just went back to casting it with R, but was curious

[low flower]

hey all, is there a place on the discord for help on builds?

[sinful laurel]

Class channels

[low flower]

thanks papi

@sinful laurel another question just because im sure you would know. is there a way to upload online character builds to lastepochtools? ive seen as of now no due to no API

[sinful laurel]

Nope not yet, not with online chars

[low flower]

damn youre fast

thanks again!

[sinful laurel]

Gotta manually build it in LEtools

Or you can ask specific questions about things if that's easier and you want to still develop your own build

[crisp kelp]

what do the emblems under the bar represent? (the gold ? and the two black locks)

oh i see the quest echoes to the left, are they basically echoes unique to the timeline?

[dry narwhal]

yes

to move to the next timeline you have to beat the third quest echo

which is your goal

[crisp kelp]

ahh okay ty

also if i get a dupe unique thats a worse roll, is there anything i can do with it?

wasnt sure if they have any value if you cant equip em

[dry narwhal]

i keep 1 of everything

stuff with legendary potential on it as well unless its a common unique with just 1

[crisp kelp]

so does the dupe just get tossed on the ground?

[dry narwhal]

or sold if you're desperate

500 gold each

[crisp kelp]

how does legendary potential work again?

[dry narwhal]

its just random if an item has any or not

[crisp kelp]

is there a way to view it?

[dry narwhal]

more common items have better chances at more

not in game

[crisp kelp]

so the darkstride boots are probably more common then

[dry narwhal]

yeah

common and low level

[crisp kelp]

sounds good, ty

[indigo wagon]

Hello, I'd like to ask, in Temporal sanctum, when in party, can 1 person clear 1 era and the 2nd person the other? And then just swap eras and loot eachother's map?

[sleek sluice]

Does all "increased armour" effects just give flat increase or does it multiply? if you take 50% increased armor affix and you base was 1k is it just 1.5k ?

[sterile widget]

Increased are all additive. So if you get 2 affixes which give total 50% Increased you get 1.5k

[sleek sluice]

alright, no matter the context it comes from, skill, etc

as long as the text ofc says "increased"

and not something else

this is the info on contempt, says multiplitive with other modifiers, why i was questioning the increased

but guess thats diff

[sterile widget]

It says more armour 🙂

Mores are multiplicative with each other

[sleek sluice]

<-- brainfart moment

i should learn to read

[sterile widget]

Easy mistake to make

I mean, I assume you are human

[sleek sluice]

haha

well made more sense why contempt is giving so much armor then

since its not flat increase

[sterile widget]

🙂

[sleek sluice]

was just trying to clarify, since numbers jump so much in stats 😄

so hard to tell what gives what

Since u get more% armor drain, flat armor from shade, transplant giving bone armour

so lots of factors

[sterile widget]

Yes indeed

Glad to have helped

[sleek sluice]

Ay thanks 😄

[broken summit]

Does frostbite have max stacks?

[desert tree]

no

[broken summit]

oh cool ty

[desert tree]

I have heard this morning that sentinel have an decreased drop rate rune dagger. Is there another class that has the same "restriction" ? Is there a place where we can find more info on this ? I could not find it

[torpid sluice]

does tier 4 even matter if I just care about the gambling at the end? cause I don't really need the shields

[bright geode]

hi, does anyone know if paladin's manifest armor can benefit from increased damage over time if titan sword is unlocked?

[desert tree]

what does the node says ?

[bright geode]

Manifest Armor gains a sword which scales with your equipped weapon's stats

[desert tree]

so if you have inc dot dmg on your weapon then yes

[bright geode]

oh cool

was just wondering since it's not increased damage over time for minions

[desert tree]

if you have this node and inc dmg dot for minions that will work for your MA minions

[faint cape]

Forge guard minions like MA have a special mechanic where they gain stats from specific equipment slots on you, similar to if the had them equipped themselves.

[faint cape]

Yes. Higher levels have different door modifiers and higher area level. It seems like they have more items in inventory, too.

[faint cape]

It's called class affinity. I don't know where to find it, but pretty sure it has been laid out by a dev in the past. Same thing that makes class-specific gear drop less for other classes and quivers drop less for non-rogues.

[dry sail]

once I finished initial run of all empowered monoliths, got all the blessings I want (but not the best rolls on them of course), what's the roadmap going forward? have the 2 uniques I need, "just" need to start building up all my offensive and defensive stats. What should I farm?

[indigo wagon]

Does anyone know by any chance? I'll test this out this afternoon and let y'all know

[cedar locust]

If no-one here knows then you can always check with Mike in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs

[indigo wagon]

Will do, thanks 🙂

[forest vapor]

it should absolutely work like that

its all the same map, just two of them offset by a lot and you teleport between them.

it will just be a lot of backtracking through annoying dungeon map, probably quicker to just keep flicking back and forth as you go

[sinful laurel]

Mike answered in dev just now

[forest vapor]

oh there is actually max shared loot drop range - there you go.

[hidden dock]

is it wierd that my level 53 druid can have around the same amount of minions as my level 55 necromancer?

[desert tree]

It feels like you are missing some minions on your necro

Can you not have like 6 skeletons + 6 mages +2 bones golems + some wraiths?

[hidden dock]

well i have 11 (normal) skeletons in total 5 mages 2 bone golems 2 wraiths and in my druid if i do it fast enough i can get 15 of those insect minions 6 great vines and 2 of those tree minions

also in my necro build i went for a tanky permanent minion army to defend me

oh yea not sure if they share a limit for the vines they can summon but the tree minion can summon 6 vines

[worthy plover]

Would I be correct in saying that woven flesh itself isn't a source of leech outside of its overkill leech and that in order to benefit fully from the increased damage as leech on it that I would need another source of actual leech to be increased?

[misty brook]

Do bosses count as rare enemies for echo modifiers?

[native sail]

No they count as bosses

[limpid stratus]

Hi folks!
Long time POE player who tried out Diablo IV, felt some itches scratched... but mostly just b/c of how good the game was with controller. The game itself seems... meh. Last Epoch seems better, but: How is the controller support? :3 ty for any help in advance ♥

[pastel pebble]

Its incomplete but otherwise very playable

I only play with a controller and have nearing 200 hours or so

Via Steam you can fedangle it a lol more to help adjust it

[limpid stratus]

Ty Boru. Follow up: is it possible to use controller for play and then use your mouse for inventory nonsense :) ?

[pastel pebble]

I believe so

But I could be wrong

[elder coral]

Need to wright a song, "Setting on the Mono's again!

[misty brook]

That's exactly what I do, it switches seamlessly between mouse and controller whenever you use one or the other.
I had like almost 300 hours in the game before I tried controller, just to give my hand a rest from all the clicking. I wasn't expecting to like it so much, I only play controller now.

[light marten]

Seems to be a known bug but can't seem to find the actual solution, I've completed the 3 level 90 monoliths but the thing in the middle isn't interactable or do a cutscene or anything

[sleek sluice]

restart steam and relog, see if it works, did for others

you go to the blue crystal after that

[light marten]

no such luck

[worthy plover]

there isn't an actual cutscene or anything though is there?

[midnight timber]

enter one of the 3 lvl 90 timelines, start an echo, use the map to exit back to teh teleport point. then the cutscene should trigger when you walk into the middle

[worthy plover]

or maybe there is lol

[midnight timber]

at least, that's how I fixed it 2x, after digging through the forums

[light marten]

as in, teleport out of the map?

[midnight timber]

yes

but use the map, not the teleport

hit M, click a waypoint

[light marten]

got it

thanks

[crisp kelp]

just wanted to make sure im thinking about this the right way as i'm still new to monolith.

I finished the Fall of the Outcasts timeline by beating the three quest echoes and afterwards took the option to the lvl 66 timeline. I thought i'd try punching up as i'm only lvl 62 but its a bit riskier than i thought and have died a couple of times. Since i don't want to lose a bunch of the echo rewards for that timeline, is the best course of action for me to jump back into the Fall of the Outcasts timeline and continue exploring those nodes until i get better gear/lvl up?

And on a more general scale, when you beat a timeline boss after the quest echoes, what is the general purpose of that timeline once you've done that? Is there ever really a reason (beyond the situation i explained above) to go back in and redo the timeline? Or is it almost always more beneficial to do the highest lvl timeline available?

[buoyant sinew]

doing the level 66 timeline as a level 62 shouldn't be that threatening as LE's level scaling is quite flat. for example, most people starting doing level 100 content at level 75 or so. you can certainly go back to the level 58 timeline to farm up if you need to, but it might be worth figuring out whether your current character has any glaring/easily fixed issues.

there's not a huge amount of point in redoing timelines at their base level once you've beaten them. you will eventually unlock a way to raise every timeline to level 100, so it's most efficient to do that as quickly as possible and then go farm for exclusive drops/etc in the level 100 version instead

[crisp kelp]

i killed things fast enough in the lvl 66 timeline, but i dont know if my resistances needed more work but i would randomly just get deleted

im still learning the crafting system and leaning on the loot filter to find me gear thats worthy of upgrading, but for the most part im probably not making nearly as many adjustments as i should be to gear, feels like i still dont have a ton of runes/glyphs/shards

my current sheet if that helps at all

[buoyant sinew]

what build are you playing?

resistances might be an issue but also if you're at 60+ of everything the difference between that and 75 isn't going to be a huge deal at this stage. you can also mostly ignore poison res right now.

I'd be more interested in the state of your other defensive layers. it might also be a playstyle thing depending on your build

okay yes that's very helpful

would still like to know your build though

[crisp kelp]

been loosely following this https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/sorcerer-leveling-guide

so static orb/lightning blast

[buoyant sinew]

sorcerer is less straightforward to build defensively than really any other class so that is not working to your advantage 😄

[crisp kelp]

yeah mages/sorcs are usually glass cannons so i get it

im just trying to understand the mindset is all

[buoyant sinew]

yeah. spellblade is a lot easier because it has so much inbuilt ward support, sorcerer you have to figure it out more haphazardly

[crisp kelp]

im trying to keep my flame ward up most of the time

[buoyant sinew]

so from the character sheet, 0 void res is a huge problem and will definitely get you killed. especially in the level 66 timeline because it's void themed

[crisp kelp]

the numlock isnt working for me so im probably having lapses in its uptime

[buoyant sinew]

that honestly is going to be the big issue

[crisp kelp]

i had 67% void res on my chest armor which i just recently upgraded

[tough sun]

Hai im new. When do we unlock masteries

[crisp kelp]

lvl 25

[crisp kelp]

probably a good lesson learned there in upgrading a piece of gear cause it has sexy offensive stats on it and learning why i shouldnt sacrifice res lol

[buoyant sinew]

lol yes

your health is also quite low for your level, I would ideally want 1500ish. maybe lower if I was using ward or lots of defensive layers, but this build doesn't have much else going on there. that's again a gear issue

[crisp kelp]

i have been all over the place in prioritizing what affixes i want

[buoyant sinew]

a higher endurance % is also a very efficient defensive layer that's accessible to every non-ward build

[crisp kelp]

whoops didnt mean to attach that pic

so basically while im playing now, i should really try to equip gear that boosts health/res/endurance as much as i can

regardless of what the other stats are

[buoyant sinew]

that would be nice yes

[crisp kelp]

but in the case of that chest piece i found, if i change it out for something with better defenses, im better off using a rune of removal on it since mana strike is probably a rarer prefix right?

[buoyant sinew]

it's worth trying to craft pieces in that vein, particularly with hybrid health or % health mods. you can set your filter to show any items with those mods and either use them as starting points or shatter/removal them for more of the affix shards to add the health mods to other pieces

[buoyant sinew]

yeah it's not a bad idea assuming that is a core mod for your build

and then beyond that, you're playing a fairly squishy style of build so it's mostly about caution and good flame ward timing

[crisp kelp]

what is hybrid health? i dont see it in the list of affixes

oh i have to click on the dropdown

what does it do? increases the max health along with recovery?

or no that would be health recovery

[buoyant sinew]

% health and flat health

it's just a very efficient affix for bumping up your health pool

[crisp kelp]

ahh i see

[buoyant sinew]

and generally you want it on all three slots that can have it

[crisp kelp]

oh it only shows up on specific gear?

[buoyant sinew]

only belt/boots/gloves

[crisp kelp]

okay good to know

[buoyant sinew]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0fMZA7OO9M

this is a really good video on general gearing best practice, though it is aimed a little higher than the level you need right now

[crisp kelp]

okay ill check it out, im always fishing for helpful resources

[crisp kelp]

so just want to see if i set this up right....

that would essentially show me gear that has these stats right?

and recolor them to pink

[native sail]

You'll see nothing Misread, should work as intended yes

Granted, it will show any item with at least one of, so you'll see a lot of random stuff that probably won't quite be what you're looking for

[surreal rose]

does the amount of chests you get at the end of the lightless arbor depend on the tier or the amount of enemies you clear in the dungeon?

[crisp kelp]

are there other things i should add to the filter to make it better tuned?

[native sail]

Neither, depends on what you select as modifiers for the chests

[vague cloak]

I get extreme lag when playing with friend. I get ported 100 meters backwards every 5 seconds`?

[crisp kelp]

like class requirement for mage, or rarity requirement, etc?

[native sail]

I'd separate each kind of item into a different rule, add in other affixes you are looking for, and set it to "at least 2"

[crisp kelp]

ahh i see so have a filter for each piece of gear, with the 3 health affixes selected with the others that i want as well

makes sense

[sinful laurel]

can also set minimum tier of affixes total on the item

[native sail]

Keep in mind, some pieces can't have % or hybrid health

[surreal rose]

thanks!

[thin tinsel]

could it be that frostbite shackles are straight up buggy? it seems like it converts every 1% of cold resistance 1:1 into ward retention

[faint cape]

That's what it says it does. Well, not convert since that implies you lose all your resistance.

[thin tinsel]

well it says uncapped cold resistance

so it should either be everything above 75 or below but not both right?

because i get 150 ward retention from it which would be exactly my cold res

[faint cape]

Uncapped is both, it essentially means what your cold resistance would be if no cap existed

[thin tinsel]

ooooooh

ok that makes sense, damn and i tought above 75 would be good but this is even more insane

[faint cape]

Yeah, they are very good gloves!

[crisp kelp]

can someone help me understand what Legendary Potential is? most of the googling i find gives me info on how to find items with it, or what the effective level is, but i just want to know what the tag actually means

i dont have a piece of gear with it, so i cant look in game

[buoyant sinew]

basically it means the item has the potential to be granted extra mods.

in detail: at the end of the temporal sanctum dungeon is a device that lets you input a unique item with legendary potential and an exalted item of the same type with four mods. it then transforms the unique item into a legendary item, which means it takes a number of mods at random from the exalted item and adds them to the unique. the number of mods is equal to the legendary potential of the unique. as an example, this is something someone made with a 2LP aberrant call

the two mods in pink are not usually found on aberrant call, they were added in the process of making it legendary

[crisp kelp]

"the number of mods is equal to the legendary potential of the unique"

so if its LP1 then it will take 1 random mod from the exalted (which could be the T6/7 mod or it could be a T1)

[buoyant sinew]

correct

though I would advise not using an item with T1 mods as a donor for a legendary in most cases 😛

[crisp kelp]

but ideally you'd want exalted items to be the donors

with other stats you'd also like

[buoyant sinew]

the donor has to be an exalted item

[crisp kelp]

oh yeah thats right

[buoyant sinew]

though the exalted mod isn't guaranteed to be transferred

[crisp kelp]

whats the highest LP a unique can have?

[buoyant sinew]

4

[crisp kelp]

oh dang

[buoyant sinew]

though this is very rare

[crisp kelp]

i would imagine

[buoyant sinew]

also important to know is that all unique items have an "effective level" for the purposes of determining legendary potential, which is often the same as the level required to equip it but sometimes different. the higher the effective level for LP, the less likely you are to get LP on it

you can see these on lastepochtools

[crisp kelp]

yeah i watched perry's vid on that which made sense

its essentially the rarity that unique will drop with LP

i just didnt know what LP was lol

[buoyant sinew]

but basically, you can pretty easily grind for 2-3LP on a unique with a low effective level and may eventually get a 4LP, whereas endgame uniques you're generally happy with 1LP and there are some where even 1LP is almost impossible to get

[pallid linden]

Alright so I bought this game nad played it and was really enjoying it, but impulsively refunded it before I hit the 2 hour mark because I was afraid that I'll get stuck with another early access game when things like D4 and PoE have more content anyway. Now I'm sitting here looking at my wallet funds regretting it. Do you think it's actually worth dumping a lot of hours into in its current state?

[potent rapids]

I absolutely do not regret purchasing this game

[crisp kelp]

like i said earlier, im loosely following the maxroll guide until i have a good grasp on everything and then im gonna audible to a different build.

If i wanted to target some of these uniques though to help me out, are runes of ascendancy the best way to do so? or is that a currency i'm better off saving for when i get further down the line and want to target better uniques?

[buoyant sinew]

personally I have put about 450 hours into this game so far and plan to put many more in. it does not have as much content as PoE and who knows what D4 will hold, but obviously it's been plenty capable of keeping my attention with what it already has

[native sail]

I have 850+ hours in the game. I am not done playing.

I take breaks, because you should take breaks to not burn out on things imo
But I always come back eventually

[crisp kelp]

thats a very subjective question, really depends on what you enjoy about these types of games and what you want to get out of it. That being said, i think Last Epoch is in a wonderful place in the genre. I dont think any other game in this genre does what this game does without forcing you to have 60 tabs on your browser and enroll in a college course

[buoyant sinew]

IMO it's fine to use runes of ascendancy fairly early on to get uniques you need. most random drop uniques will drop for you sooner or later anyway so it's not that big of a deal to use them now, and they're not a great way to target LP uniques since they halve the chance of getting LP compared to a normal drop of the same unique

[crisp kelp]

granted i'm <50 hours into the game so far and have been throughly enjoying it, but im by no means an expert on it @pallid linden

[pallid linden]

Appreciate you guys. I guess I refunded becasue I got back into WoW a while ago and realized that progression feels so number crunchy and annoying. I don't want another game where you farm to get +2 more damage. Y'all convinced me to buy it again haha

[crisp kelp]

yeah im not necessarily fishing for LPs, just looking at the items and how they may help

[buoyant sinew]

yeah LE is very good at making upgrades and progression feel impactful. It's one of the core systems they have absolutely nailed IMO

[native sail]

Nah, most things that are upgrades are noticeable. You only get that feeling if you hyper optimize

[pallid linden]

I did notice that. Everything is in plain view. PoE has a really nice skill system, and I love the gems for abilities, but it was infodump overload all the time

[pallid linden]

This is great, what I want

[potent rapids]

You're definitely going to get to that point, but that's just how it is in any game like this.

[buoyant sinew]

then I would say don't be afraid to burn all your runes of ascendancy now tbh

[crisp kelp]

okay tyvm

[buoyant sinew]

I burned them more or less as I got them when online had just launched and I didn't have my stash of uniques to fall back on

but once you do have that stash of uniques you probably won't need to use them much, if at all, so may as well use them now

[crisp kelp]

and all i need to use the runes of ascendancy is just a rare item of that type right? So if i want a unique ring, i just toss a rare ring in the forge with the rune and roll the dice

[buoyant sinew]

I guess the one thing worth keeping in mind since you're a sorcerer is that there's a unique that can only be made with runes of ascendancy and can be good for sorcs (Fractured Crown)

so since the rolls on that are highly variable, if you want one of those it may be worth keeping a stock of them to try and get a good roll

[buoyant sinew]

it doesn't even need to be rare, but yep

[crisp kelp]

okay cool, ill keep that in mind

for now im gonna keep my mats until i run into another barrier

if im still killing things quickly and not dying too often, ill ride it out until that changes

[buoyant sinew]

sounds good

[crisp kelp]

also ty again for that vid, i got lost in his YT channel a bit watching guides

[buoyant sinew]

yeah perry is very good for instructional content

[native sail]

Steal his hat

[twilit surge]

is multiplayer out for this game yet?

[buoyant sinew]

yes, came out about two months ago

[twilit surge]

oh so no progress will be lost on multplyaer? does it work like poe where u dont have to play season and keep normal progression

or you forced into season

[buoyant sinew]

currently there are no seasons. but in future when there are, it will work like PoE yes

[twilit surge]

its beta now, will character get wiped with full release?, thanks for help 🙂

or we will keep multiplayer character?

[buoyant sinew]

there aren't meant to be any wipes in the future

[faint cape]

The main difference in seasonal content for this game is that "standard league" is planned to have exactly the same content as the running "temporary league"

[bold hull]

(noob question) Do affix tiers have any relation to item level requirements? Meaning - if you upgrade a T2 Affix to T3 does the item level requirement increase?

[crisp kelp]

so will the "temporary league" basically just be for people that want to start fresh with no resources on the account?

[faint cape]

Yes, item level requirement is dependent on item subtype (the implicits), total affix tier, and highest (or average?) affix tier. Actual level req is whichever of those is highest. You cannot craft an item to the point it becomes too high-level for you (button will gray out).

[faint cape]

Yeah, basically. It'll also have separate leaderboards and could possibly have events like races associated with it.

[crisp kelp]

should i bother doing a echo of a world multiple times in the normal monolith or am i better off just ignoring them and finishing the timeline so i can get to empowered monoliths?

[light folio]

Hello its me again. I tried logging into the game tonight and it exits the game in the loading screen

[inland crypt]

So I’m new and on chapter 3. It says not to progress my necro without at least 20% void resistance. I have zero. How the heck do I get void resist items? I’ve not even seen them listed on any gear

[hidden dock]

what is the total permanent minions a necromancer can have?

[fluid pumice]

is lagon supposed to be available in the empowered monoliths?

[sinful laurel]

He is the boss of the ending the storm timeline yes

[fluid seal]

Has anyone else experienced the surge protector their PC is on suddenly tripping the "protection" piece of its job and shutting down entirely during LE? I thought it was due to high temps (even liquid cooled I was hitting 90c), so I cleaned all the intake fan filters, reapplied thermal paste, and it happened again at around 70c

Has only ever happened with LE open. Way more demanding games have never done it.
R9 3900x, RTX 3090, 32GB RAM, 850w PSU, OS on an m.2 ssd, game on a SATA SSD

The "full-room shutdown" has happened every night I've been playing for the last 5 nights or so

and nothing else drawing any real power on that outlet. Just a modem/router

[sterile widget]

There are other people who have experienced hard crashes when playing Last Epoch. If your graphics card is pulling enough power that your PSU is drawing enough power to cause surge protection to kick in, you should consider whether your PSU has a fault or your power circuit is leaky.

You may find adjusting your graphics settings helps improve stability by reducing the power draw

Another option would be double checking any overclocking on your 3090. There are some anecdotal reports of power related stability issues at high GPU frequencies (2000MHz+) for high end nvidia cards

[fluid seal]

It's not a traditional hard crash - it literally trips the surge protector so that entire half of the room loses electricity

I have to manually flip the surge protector back on to boot the computer again, and it doesn't happen with any other game

No OC on the CPU or GPU

[sterile widget]

Manufacturer OC?

Honestly, only so much you can do if transient power spikes trip your surge protection.

[fluid seal]

That's the weird thing, they don't unless LE is open. I've played ridiculously demanding games on it and it's never happened before

Only in the few weeks since I've gotten LE, and still not when any other games are open

[sterile widget]

Yah. It sucks that LE found this weird edge condition. You can lodge a bug report, but the problem with this situation is that your log files could be incomplete or corrupt due to power outage

[fluid seal]

Yep, exactly. I'm lucky my save files haven't been corrupted

Speaking of which I should probably make backups

And just checked, no factory OC on the 3090

[sterile widget]

Even assuming you can provide relevant information that they can reproduce your issue, a fix might be impossible (as it could be in the drivers or Unity itself

Should definitely look into those options above which could improve system stability.

[fluid seal]

You'd think it'd happen with other Unity engine games, no?

[fluid seal]

And this would make a lot more since if I couldn't play ridiculously demanding games at ultra gfx settings without issue. No idea what it is about LE that does it. It barely warms up the GPU

[sterile widget]

It depends. I've seen evidence of similar crashing and black screen issues across a multitude of Unity games online

!bug

[ripe brook]

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

When you start a bug report the template includes a link to support page describing log file location

If they are intact, they might shed some light on the issue

[fluid seal]

They are - I'll add them, thanks

Made savegame backups too

No worries.

If you run bastion of honour and singular purpose, how much block chance do you have on 'nearby enemy?

[vague cloak]

Im getting a bit tired of playing ranged builds so i want to go melee for a bit. I never played a melee class so whats is the "best" class to do that. tanky and fast?

[desert tree]

Judgement fire aura

[vague cloak]

thats sentinel but what subclas?

Pala i assume

[desert tree]

Yep

There is a very nice guide on letools

[faint cape]

Druid is also fun if you want to do primalist instead of a sentinel class

[inland crypt]

Where is Welryn City? I found Welryn under city but don’t see anything just called city

[desert tree]

Is it not in the imperial era?

[carmine coyote]

theres no such zone in the game

[jovial ermine]

So I unlocked all of the rightside timelines first to quickly unlock empowered monoliths. If I want to unlock the rest of the timelines, do I still have to do the sidequests that ask me to choose which timeline I want to unlock?

[carmine coyote]

just do the fall of the outcasts and choose the lower lvl

or ask someone to give you wp on stolen lance, it will unlock every other bridge connected to it

[jovial ermine]

I already finished Stolen lance, and I'm on Blood, Frost, and Death. So you mean to say that I can just kill the last boss in Blood, Frost, and Death, and I unlock the level 80 Timeline by default?

[carmine coyote]

yes just pick the corresponding timeline on the quests

[jovial ermine]

Alright. Unlocked all timelines now. Thanks. 👍

[lethal flicker]

Hey guys, I can’t seem to get past kolheim pass to get to the arena. Do I need to go further in the campaign or something?

[jovial ermine]

Do you mean that you're struggling with mobs? Or you don't know where to go?

[lethal flicker]

Oo I see. The road just seems to be nonexistent from the pass waypoint

Not sure how to get there

[jovial ermine]

Just explore. Koheim Pass doesn't lead to anywhere else, so you'll eventually find the Arena.

[lethal flicker]

Ah thanks. I’ll keep looking

[mossy gazelle]

hey is there a quick travel button on controllers?

[next cypress]

Hi all - I'm unsure exactly how Spriggan form works. I can't figure out how to regain rage during it, yet some times I enter Spriggan form and I'm in for what feels like an eternity, and other times, I can get 2-3 totem casts off and then I'm back out of it

Randomly it'll appear to generate rage as well. I can't tell if it's a bug or working as intended, nor how to really sustain it

[desert tree]

Can you post screenshot of your skills, passives and your gear?

[next cypress]

is there a way to do gear as a group instead of individual items? I don't want to spam a channel or anything

[desert tree]

Just do a global image of your gear don't need every individual piece (I want to check if you have any unique that can influence your rage)

[next cypress]

I kind of wonder if it's Memories of Eterra doing it. It seems the rage regenerates from time to time in ticks, or if I'm spamming healing totem

[desert tree]

Can I get the rest of your skills tree?

But yes most likely, spamming totems will cost you rage and give back rage

[desert tree]

Thorn shield will cost you a lot of rage

[next cypress]

The tooltip didn't indicate anything to do with mana returns for rage, so I was confused, but it does seem like its where the rage refund is coming from

[desert tree]

And spamming totem might overall refund some rage (not sure)

I believe if you are a shaman 2 pts in the refund are enough, otherwise you need 3

[next cypress]

Sounds good, thanks for letting me brainstorm. It was driving me nuts why I couldn't figure out where the rage was coming from

[desert tree]

If you have rage sustain issues try to look for legacy of the quiet forest (belt) or tear of the forest (amulet)

[next cypress]

Oh nice - I will keep an eye out - I'm still leveling pretty much my first character so I have no idea what I'm doing yet really, except following a guide

... ironically I have both of those in my inventory from another character and completely forgot about them. Thanks!

[deft compass]

is the server down rn

bought the game and im stuck on logging in..

Did.. someone say sand storm?
Dun dun dun dun dun dun dun

[inland crypt]

When you respec to a diff skill should you remove skill points or despecialize skill?

[desert tree]

If you are changing less points then your minimal lvl, I would remove points

[sinful laurel]

Depends on what's more efficient

[viral jolt]

Yooooo, new to the game and trying to make a support paladin to play in duo, any resources yall can recommend for me?

[desert tree]

Youtube

Dreadful made a video

that seem to be outdated? theres a comment there saying it got nerfed

[inland crypt]

I killed the dragon for ancient hunt but the brain lady doesn’t have any quest for me to complete

[tacit edge]

Question to everyone

Did you guys payed attention to the story while doing the game ?

I'm doing a speak to everybody run and god damn it's interesting

[desert tree]

Who do you think is the emperor?

[tacit edge]

So far I dont know

I am still at the beginning of my lore run

[desert tree]

Oh

[tacit edge]

But I find it VERY interesting already

and I wonder how many people play the game without paying attention to tthe story

And in fact

I love the fact that monster on the maps are telling a story

Like at the very beginning, there are locals pest and monsters from the woods but also ospryx soldiers that are here for the shard

[desert tree]

I really like the story behind the monoliths

[tacit edge]

The more I play this game

[desert tree]

Where each monoliths is a different version of your timeline

[tacit edge]

The more I feel like the devs just one day woke up

And went like "Hey guys why we dont make the best action rpg on the market"

[desert tree]

And a small event change drastically the course of the timeline

[tacit edge]

Yeah that stuff is nuts

i cant wait for cosmetics added in the game

So I can give them more support

[tacit edge]

Another lore question

What is '-6200 be'

What does be refer ?

And same goes for "ag"

I tried to search the wiki but didnt found anything

[desert tree]

Before Eterra? Extinction?

[snow surge]

Having trouble finding info on how mechanics interact with channeling skills (specifically disintegrate).
Any links I should read?
A few:

• Does cast speed help? Answer: No.
• How does decreased mana cost work? Does it apply to the 'per sec' cost?
• How does added damage work? Added to each 'tick'?
• Do on hit affects apply 'per tick', e.g. chance to ignite?
• I assume the +x% damage to next spell passive will only apply to the first tick and thus be useless?

[desert tree]

Don't know about the rest but disintegrate is not a hit so on hit effect don't work

[snow surge]

I guess it's not damage over time either. Any way to look up what is and is not a hit?

[desert tree]

The tooltip or alt tooltip should tell you

It is a spell dot

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

You can llok it up on letools too

[snow surge]

Oh! It is DoT I see that tag now. Thanks!

And there we go, says right there it "Is not a hit"

cool

[desert tree]

👍

[snow surge]

and it can't crit, good to know.

tooltip says added damage at 300% per sec
website says added damage scaling 75% [per .25 sec]

oh, .75*4 = 3, duh

nm

[desert tree]

You might want to ask more questions in #🧙┃mage

I am sure someone will have all the other answer

[snow surge]

TIL there is a #🧙┃mage

thanks x2

[patent summit]

How reliable is LEtools loot filter generator? Feels like it might be faster to create a build there than to set up the filter in-game.

[buoyant sinew]

it's not bad but not great. the biggest problem is that it doesn't account for mods that might be good for you but aren't represented on the gear you've set up. it's also a little out of date so the filters need some manual tweaking (particularly level ranges and mod IDs for the shattering rule)

also, IMO it shows way too much stuff.

[patent summit]

Yeah, I was mostly worried that it'd only show the exact stats I had on the build planner

Back to creating a filter for my 9th character...

[buoyant sinew]

if it helps, filters are plain text files you can edit outside the game as well. for example, I have a filter skeleton that I reuse for every build — the main change I need to make is the list of mods I'm interested in, but since I have that in multiple rules I only change it for one rule in-game and then copy paste the new list to the other rules outside the game because it's much quicker

[lethal flicker]

Hey guys, I’m trying to get my hands on a Vaion’s chariot. It says it drops from the arena champion at a 36% chance in tier 4. But I ran this thing like 20 times. Is there a place to pick up the loot that’s not on the ground next to the boss or something?

[patent summit]

That is extremely helpful. I'm gonna do that as well, thanks

[vale lake]

Are the servers down/having a bad time ?

Nevermind, it just took two tries and a lot of time

Nevermind again, I'm stuck on a loading screen now lol

[visual hill]

what amm i doing wrong? i have been trying to hunt for a Bastion of Honor, and i have been doing impowered monoliths the past 3 weeks with the set/unique shield node, used about 34 RoA on shields, and even used 27 keys to get to the soul gambler for shields and still nothing .... im about to give up intirely why is this dang shield so rare ?

[desert tree]

Because it's very powerful

But you are doing the right thing though

[sinful laurel]

Soon after you give up you'll find it

[bleak bramble]

Can Lunge's Impairing Strike node immobilize bosses like Heorot?

[sinful laurel]

Generally not. Even if they can the duration is severely decreased

[bleak bramble]

Ahh I was fantasizing about skipping his dash

[patent summit]

LE tools doesn't let me set Minion Health as an affix in builds (and appears to think it's specific to primalist/acolyte) but I am definitely able to apply it to most slots in-game. Is that just an error on the website?

[faint cape]

Pretty sure it immobilizes anything for exactly what it says, bosses don't have reduced immobilize effect. However, immobilize does not affect movement skills in any way.

[faint cape]

The class-specific restriction on that affix only applies to class-specific slots (helm, body, relic). You should be able to apply it to everything else it's applicable to on any class.

[patent summit]

It certainly does let me in game (haven't been able to test on a class-specific slot yet) but LE tools won't let me apply it to any slot.

[crisp kelp]

have the devs mentioned anything about having affix shards auto pick up? or a pet that can do something similar?

i dug around in #368968647114227723 & #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs and saw it suggested a few times but couldnt find anything from the devs

[sinful laurel]

They have explicitly said they do not want shard auto pickup. Will likely never happen

[crisp kelp]

aww thats a bummer, did they provide any context as to why?

or just a behind the curtains issue?

[buoyant sinew]

IIRC it's something along the lines of shards being important loot and if they're auto pick up they don't really register properly as loot, so it feels like you're not getting enough interesting drops

[sinful laurel]

They want to maintain an intentionality and sense of purpose to picking up shards. That being said, they do want to make each click more useful in that the number of shards or the area of pickup will be greater. But they always want to have the player have some kind of direct input

[crisp kelp]

that makes sense

was just curious, couldnt really think of an instance where someone wouldnt want to pick up a shard

[sacred forge]

Anyone know why I can't seem to see or pick up rare items? I have them set to show according to my loot filter so I'm not sure why I suddenly can't pick them up

[faint cape]

Alt+Z

[faint cape]

What are you specifically trying to do? It is working fine for me on stuff like rings, for example

[patent summit]

I was making my loot filter and I use LEtools to check and see what affixes can be applied where while doing that. The build planner will not let me assign Minion Health as an affix to any slots at all on my Sentinel because it seems to think it's a class-specific affix for Acolyte/Primalist. In-game it works fine though.

It's not like, an issue really. Just means a build planner can't be set up properly with that stat.

[small sierra]

any good void night builds?

[bronze ocean]

I don't see the problem. Just checked, selected Sentinel, then ring slot, selected random ring, typed Minion in the searchbox and I'm able to add minion health prefix there.

I think the problem is that you are just checking affixes without selecting an item in build planner, but you should select it. Otherwise it shows only affixes that have no restrictions at all. The list of affixes can change depending on the selected item, so you must select base item first.

[patent summit]

I...don't think I was doing that since it defaults to select the item. But it's working fine for me now so I guess I was doing something wrong.

[amber void]

does anyone know how to prevent the minimization of the game? i play with 2 monitors and it used to be ok, but a blackout happen, so i activate only the main monitor (i'm using a laptop) a few hours later, the electricity returned, so i activated both monitors again, but now the game minimize when i click on the second display

[native sail]

Your game might be set to fullscreen mode?

[amber void]

the game was set in fullscreen before, and i had no problem until the blackout

[native sail]

You should've. Fullscreen just kinda does that. It's a thing with most games, when you tab out of a fullscreen (not borderless windowed or anything else phrased like that) the application minimizes

[amber void]

in the forum, it seem that someone had the same problem but in that user case, the game crashed, which is not my case

[buoyant sinew]

windows has a thing where it tries to automatically fake borderless windowed with fullscreen applications

it sounds like that's going wrong for you

because yeah, without that a fullscreen app minimising when you click away is intended behaviour

[native sail]

^^^

Change from fullscreen to borderless and you'll be fine

[amber void]

well, it work like a charm, ty

[native sail]

Yep, no prob. Welcome to Windows nonsense :P

[amber void]

i still think is weird since i had fullscreen before

[buoyant sinew]

would generally recommend borderless windowed for every game as long as your computer can handle it

cause fullscreen causes...all sorts of windows-related nonsense honestly

[native sail]

Fullscreen breaks my Discord

[amber void]

it's possible that maybe the game was borderless before but i didn't notice?

[native sail]

Possible, I think that's the default setting

[amber void]

when i saw the settings for fullscreen, i wasn't using the second display

[novel sigil]

its normal at level 79 to get dificulty to pass the last ruin mono (level 90)?

[sterile widget]

When it comes to completing any given monolith, your level is secondary to your overall damage output, survivability and player skill.

[grim iron]

For anyone who plays fire necro, can dread shade's boost to necrotic damage be converted to fire?

[faint cape]

No, dread shade only has cold and poison conversions available. It has a lot of generic buffs, though.

[grim iron]

Ah that's a bummer. I'm trying to do the flame necro build and i see that on a lot of these builds, so im wondering what the conenction is

Oh I think its the cast speed

[faint cape]

Cast speed, generic "more damage", and extra flat damage is always still good. Really, that flat necrotic could make your wraiths do primarily necrotic

[near path]

Probably a silly question, but attack speed applies to both melee and throwing attacks, right?

[native sail]

It applies to attacks. Melee, throwing, or bow. If it's an attack it does its thing faster.

[near path]

Pog, that's what I was hoping to confirm

Trying to make an Ignite stacking shield throw pally

[native sail]

That sounds based as hell, I say go for it

[lean prism]

Guys ! New player here , loving the game so far

However there's one thing that I haven't seen anyone mentioning in videos/guides that is kind of making me raise my eyebrows

I'm playing as a low lvl Mage (lvl 9) and when I open the skills & specialization tab on the Skills section (pressin S) theres a detail there that i'm not sure what it means

right next to the Fireball icon I can also see a lil lighting icon there , what does it means?

Same for lighting blast , I can see a lil ice icon right next to it

That (generally) indicates that skill can be converted to that element.

does damage overtime count as elemental too?

[sinful laurel]

Elemental damage over time does

[desert tree]

Poison for exemple is a dot but not elemental. Ignite is an elemental dot

[ruby badge]

apologies i meant like affixes from damage over time is also worked with affixes elemental over time too right? since im using cold damage overtime

[desert tree]

Elemental dmg, cold dmg, dot dmg, and ele dot dmg will work

If its a spell that deal you dmg (like maelstrom) spell dmg will work too. But not of you play frostbite

Hey guys, what corruption level is good to farm with a decent build?

[desert tree]

As fast as you can without slowing down

From what I ve seen people tend to aim 300 - 400

[lethal flicker]

This particular build I’m on breezes through 200, but around 350, I’m playing a lot more carefully. I’d like to stop personally, but if the loot is amazing higher, I guess I could keep going

Oh! Yeah, I’m stopping lol

I’ll push 400+ if I ever decide to play one of those minion builds or something

[desert tree]

I personally stop at 200, because I want to play a lot of different things and don't have the time or want to push things higher

[lethal flicker]

I’m kind of with you there. Out of curiosity though, where are all these people finding t7 exalted gear left and right like they do? I rarely see them at 300+

Maybe dungeons? I haven’t been in one yet

[desert tree]

Dungeon are very good for farming exalt yes

There is a daily rotation as to what exalt you have extra chance to get

[lethal flicker]

I see. Once I have my blessings in order, I’ll finally use the billion keys that dropped then

Thanks

You can see the rotation there

[lethal flicker]

Bookmarked! That’s really helpful. Resets daily you say?

[ruby badge]

thanks!

[desert tree]

Yep

And they are differents for each tier too

How does endurance work with ward? When I have 1k hp and 10 ward and I receive a 1.2k hit while having 60% endurance and 1.1k threshold. Do I die? I know that the ward is not covered by endurance but is my health covered for the hit while I still have some ward?

[sterile widget]

health is still covered for the hit

Wards takes 10 damage. Then you have 1090 remaining, which is applied in the usual manner

[unreal hinge]

Thats good to hear! Because I read that endurance doesnt do anything when you are above your hp threshold even by 1 hp and then endurance doesnt work at all for the hit

[sterile widget]

Assuming that is true, it is probably a bug

Wait. I misread

Just to be clear -- endurance protects you from one-shots -- if your HP is above your endurance threshold, DR from endurance is applied to any portion of a hit which goes under the threshold.

Hi question — This staff improves the Meteor ability of a sorcerer... except sorcerer can't equip 2-handed staff.

So what am I missing?

[dry narwhal]

sorceror can equip a staff, unequip your offhand

[twin crest]

OH

unequip your offhand

Thx. That was wildly unintuitive.

[sick rampart]

do experience tomes increase your blessing's experience bar?

[fresh aspen]

Blessings dont have an XP bar

those bars are just showing how close u are to maxroll

[sick rampart]

wait what

ooh okk

[swift pendant]

just wondering, is there a good phys crit build that use dagger in this game? i havent experienced all classes, need you guys'ideas, just got a crazy drop

[crystal sparrow]

hey, im doing a dragonsong build. Im debating whether it is good to spec into multishot for "readied arrows" and then going "back to back" and then to "repeater bow" for increased multishots while using cinder strike in hope for getting more dragonsong procs? But im not sure if dragonsong can proc off of multishots from readied arrows and if back to back works with only procs from readied arrows, anyone know?

[raven timber]

Anyone have a low investment in gear, lich build?

[desert tree]

@cedar locust thx for the answer, I will move it here to not clutter #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs
Do we know who the observer is? Never heard his name until now. What does he do?

Do you know a place where lore stuff are available to read?

[cedar locust]

I don't think we have a Lore Library, though Kyle is our Loremaster! There are a few videos on Youtube where they talk about the lore of Last Epoch 😊

As for Who the Observer is - we don't know much, only that they seem to have a link to Eterra and for some reason they were chained away given their art work. I imagine their Lore is part of the last 3 chapters!

[faint cape]

It's very unlikely the double shot mechanic works from triggered uses. The rest works (up to you if you think a 1 in 20 chance is worth a skill spec, though)

[crystal sparrow]

Is there a better DPS choice? I don’t like speccing into Decoy, doesn’t feel impactful

[fickle sparrow]

Anyone succeeded with any of the weird damage conversion builds - like void orb or necrotic maelstrom

I feel like theyre just memes like set items

[desert tree]

Necrotic maelstrom >yulia path + ghost dagger 👻👻

[fickle sparrow]

I wonder if it summons wraiths still haha

That stat is thick tho

I tried fire squirrels last night, it didn’t work out as well as bleed

[faint cape]

I'm probably not the best person to ask for this, but nothing I can think of

[faint cape]

Set items are just like uniques in that most are leveling items, but there are a few very good ones.

The necrotic maelstrom is really strong for its effect on minions. I think void orb is meh mainly because the base skill is meh.

Cold dread shade is pretty great
