[boreal venture]

Dumb questing but is reaper already out or is it coming soon?

[faint cape]

Reaper form is the Lich's mastery skill, and has been around for a while. 0.9.1 just updates its visuals, mechanics, and spec tree

[charred finch]

when items get updated, do they change in your inventory? or do you need new drops of them? if something went from like 40-60% to 60-80%, and was 45% before, would it be 65% after the patch?

[onyx osprey]

I found this information about the supporter packs: https://lastepoch.fandom.com/wiki/Supporter_Packs

[faint cape]

For changes in an affix roll, your affixes are really just a tier and a roll (0-100%), so those should be automatically changed to the new value

[lyric bramble]

thank you!

[hollow marsh]

Does anyone know if purchasing a supporter pack gives the previous supporter packs as well similar to PoE? Or are they all completely individual packs?

[misty brook]

Apparently Mike said they were individual.

[tall edge]

guys patch notes are uber long, is there auto pick up for shards or not?

[sleek sluice]

no

and there wont be

according to the info we got so far from devs at least

[tall edge]

well unlucky, thx

[barren wharf]

the elemental damage leeched as health on crit on the unique Prism Wraps. is that leech instant or a slow gain on your health bar?

[sinful laurel]

[barren wharf]

thanks for the link!

[safe vessel]

hey all, I need some help with stash management. Is there some basic rules of thumb or general tips when it comes to which exalted items to keep and which to shatter? I've been keeping every exalted that drops and its over crowding my stash storage. Any tips would be appreciated!

[rich citrus]

does skeleton mages attack gets boosted by "minion spell damage" ❔ or only "minion damage"

[mellow abyss]

does "elemental damage over time" increase my disintegrate damage?

[safe harness]

Does disintegrate have the damage over time tag?

[mellow abyss]

yes

[fresh aspen]

Check tags

[fresh aspen]

Is disintegrate, cold , lightning or fire?

[mellow abyss]

thanks, you're super helpful

[fresh aspen]

No problem

[rich citrus]

elaborate

[fresh aspen]

Hover over ability with mouse

[rich citrus]

if it says minion
means skeleton "mages" get dmg boost on their regular attacks with "minion spell dmg" ?

[fresh aspen]

If it has both minion and spell tag then yes

Cos skeleton mages can be converted to melee knights

[swift dock]

Is this normal ? Hoping someone more knowledgeable than me can help a little lol
Vram usage and only 54% utilization?

[fresh aspen]

Check if last epoch have memory leak

[swift dock]

I've watched is rise up from like 7400, to 8079.. how do I check that?

[fresh aspen]

Ctrl alt delete, task manager

[swift dock]

Yeah, I ended up having to turn it off for a bit.. one, to take a break 😆 and 2 , because it started stuttering.
So I'm pretty sure there is a memory leak. I started out with about 7 gb of usage , after about an hour in I was at 8gb .

[slate snow]

Is there any good builds i can make with a +3 paranoia helmet?

[amber void]

what's exactly "crafting item vacuum range"?

[inland crypt]

For necro golem build do I want physical minion damage or minion damage? Like what’s the diff?

[sinful laurel]

When you pick up a shard, the radius of picking up shards nearby along with it is wider

[dusk vigil]

Will our existing characters and stash be gone with the new patch?

[sinful laurel]

No

[faint cape]

Depends on whether you take any conversions, golem can vary a lot. Added damage will always apply when applicable (like +melee damage adds to their melee attacks, but not their spells). Increased damage applies to whatever damage types are being dealt (minion damage is generic so applies to everything, minion physical damage only increases their physical damage, etc.).

[inland crypt]

My golem is the shard golem but I have no clue which damage output is higher. Trying to decide which of the two stats is better. Have gear option where one would give an increase of 80% physical and one would increase minion damage by 22%

[faint cape]

Like bone shatter? That's base physical spell damage. If it was pure phys damage and both increases were the same, it would make no difference. However, you probably have other non-physical damage added, so it depends on how much of your damage is actually physical, which depends on your build.

[inland crypt]

Right. I guess I’m trying to figure out what to prioritize. This is my first toon so I used the max roll guide for necro

[flat swan]

If I don't like the mastery I chose is there a way to swap it? Haven't figured it out if it's possible or not on my own xD.

[inland crypt]

Nope. Once you choose it’s permanent. It warns you when you choose. Annoying, but true.

[faint cape]

I think you damage would have to be only ~25% physical damage for the increased phys to be worse than the generic damage in your example

[flat swan]

🥲 thanks

[faint cape]

Which is pretty possible really, you probably have +20 non-phys from the tree and +20 or more non-phys from dread shade, which already puts you at about 33% phys. I have no idea what else you have, though

[inland crypt]

Nah I have like 330% increase damage and around 500% increase physical. I’m level 72.

[minor vigil]

where does chapter 2 actually end

is it elder pannion

or the cultists

[faint cape]

I'm talking about every damage source except "increased damage", the amount of increased damage you have is not a factor when deciding between two different increased damage effects because they are additive with each other

[faint cape]

On LETools, the last "important quest" in chapter 2 is Elder Pannion

[minor vigil]

thanks

[inland crypt]

Okay so I don’t follow lol. This game makes it hard to end game level. What exactly do I focus on? I wish it could just tell you what increases or decreases your dps.

[inland crypt]

If additive, then I guess the higher number is always better. Why do they separate them out then though? And doesn’t it matter in terms of how your bone golem attacks?

[nova shard]

Um.. anyone missing a character since the patch? My (offline) main character is gone.

[inland crypt]

At level 72 should I keep on the level 75 monolith or will I be okay at the 80?

[faint cape]

Yeah, it matters what damage type(s) your golem does. They are mainly separated to create these kinds of build puzzles, restrictions are what make it interesting rather than simply "stack damage stat"

[faint cape]

The patch isn't out yet; have you checked your save files?

Maybe verify files on steam

[nova shard]

Tried that, just one of my chars is missing. Hmm..

[faint cape]

Go as high as you can, usually

[unkempt sand]

I noticed my smite tooltip dps didn't increase when i selected paladin as my mastery class. Is this a bug?

hm, it did increase when i left the end of time. does that bonus not work in town?

[native sail]

Are you using Holy Aura?

[inland crypt]

Is it better to fight the bosses as you go up In stability or do them all at the end?

[sudden notch]

does + melee damage, or increase damage with (skill) also increase the DOT damage that the melee skill applies

[potent rapids]

Not unless stated explicitly.

[sudden notch]

why does this skill specify hit damage then.

[potent rapids]

Why wouldn't it?

[sudden notch]

if increased damage doesnt apply to ailments as well. then whats the point of specifying hit damage

[potent rapids]

What would be the point of not specifying hit damage?

Like, I don't really get what your goal is here.

[sudden notch]

because it implys that abilities that that dont specify hit damage - also effect other types of damage

[potent rapids]

I never felt it implied that

[sudden notch]

i just think youre not right. but i appreciate your input. you might very well be

[potent rapids]

I mean, it's easily accessible public knowledge that I'm right. It's literally a loading screen tip.

Even if it didn't specify "hit" damage, it wouldn't matter. Because it still says Forge Strike's damage. An ailment that Forge Strike applied isn't Forge Strike damage, it's the ailment's damage.

[sudden notch]

its ailment damage applied by forge strike

i think you could argue either way. but if its a known thing then ill take your word for it

[potent rapids]

Forge Strike isn't dealing the damage, it's just applying a stack of the ailment. The ailment is what deals the damage. That's how it works.

[sudden notch]

k

u can see how specifying hit damage is confusing tho

[native sail]

Roy is actually right here

If it doesn't specify hit or a specific part of the skill, it applies to ailments applied by the skill

[potent rapids]

I'm pretty sure that's completely wrong.

Oh hey, you're right. It was me who was completely wrong. My bad.

Well, I guess partially wrong.

We both learned today!

[sudden notch]

well thats a very helpful line of text for me

[potent rapids]

So your original question - The +melee damage no, the increased skill damage yes

[sudden notch]

thanks for finding that. where is that you linked from

[potent rapids]

Game guide in game

I don't know what the hell I read at one point that made me think nothing from skills affects ailments

But I swear I did

[sudden notch]

what do you think about this then hellcake?

is that still an ailment inflicted by forge strike (even though its detonating ground that does it)

[potent rapids]

I'd expect anything that increases detonating ground to affect that ignite

but probably not forge strike

[sudden notch]

i think i agree with you there. because i think its casting a separate spell there

[potent rapids]

I'm glad to have learned I was wrong. This changes everything!

[native sail]

Yeah, that is a subskill so it's not affected by Forge Strike modifiers. It's weird ain't it?

[sudden notch]

sad and weird

thanks guys

[faint cape]

Well, since forge strike is using that subskill, any modifiers on forge strike should apply to its detonating ground

It only doesn't inherit when explicitly stated (though stats depending on enemy state are almost never inherited)

[potent rapids]

Is it accurate that cast speed is really good for Flame Wraiths? Like, would I want to try to put it on Aberrant Call? I think I read someone say that the other day but was only half paying attention

[sinful laurel]

Minion cast speed yes

[potent rapids]

Nuts

[sinful laurel]

Which is why julra gloves with cast speed smash is good

Even after bug fix

[potent rapids]

And here I was excited about this T7 cast speed staff 😦

[sinful laurel]

Your own cast speed helps too

Summon then faster

[potent rapids]

I've got a 3LP AC I've been trying to find something for for like a week and a half

[sinful laurel]

I'm not an expert in Necro builds but I'm pretty sure you want t7 minion spell dmg and then whatever else

[potent rapids]

That was what I thought too. I must have misunderstood what I read.

So shitty to spend so much time grinding and get absolutely bupkis

[sinful laurel]

Happens. And then you will have one day of just nuts drops

[potent rapids]

Meanwhile I have 4 bastions sitting in my stash

How to exchange luck?

[sinful laurel]

I'm def not the person to ask about anything regarding luck of any kind

[narrow flicker]

Is there a place where I can see server status for game servers in my area?

[sterile widget]

Nope

[latent canyon]

T7 cast speed then everything else but now with gloves being patched its hard to say

[sick rampart]

with the sets changes, are any of them relevant now? i've been told they were meme before, but im curious if that was ever true, or if its not anymore with upcoming patch

[sinful laurel]

A few sets, or partial sets, have always been relevant

[near sequoia]

is there snapshotting on companions stats?

[native sail]

There is snapshotting on nearly every skill in the game. And 100% anything that is a minion type skill.

[near sequoia]

aha I see, thanks. Do you know if that's intended in the design of the game or if it's more of a bug?

[native sail]

They want to remove it eventually but have far more pressing issues than that so it's a bit of a back burner thing right now

[ancient scarab]

Hey guys, I wanna start out with a friend and we where wondering if anyone got some tips for class choices regarding duo synergies. I am a double handed longsword lover he likes to play enchanters 🧙‍♀️ thank you for Tipps 🙂

[sick rampart]

what are the usages of rune of ascendance? an alternative way of farming a desired item to spare you the grinding?

[devout junco]

They upgrade a non unique item into a unique item of the same item type (2h axe becomes 2h axe unique, gloves become gloves unique, etc). That is their sole purpose: to create unique items. Important to note that you cannot get boss exclusive uniques from a rune.

[sick rampart]

does the item's rarity matters? like if i use the rune on an yellow item, does it have higher chance of becoming a "very rare" unique compared to using it on a grey item?

[devout junco]

Nope. Rarity and ilvl don't matter.

[sick rampart]

ahh okay

thanks

[faint cape]

Sunforged and Gaspar got pretty big buffs, Ferebor was already decently good, not super familiar with FK.

[sick rampart]

thanks!

also, what's more worth running for age of winter blessing on a build that relies on bastion of honour - block effectiveness or armor%?

[wide sentinel]

Sets were never meme, they were always sets that worked endgame and its devs intention for sets to be very limited in the top end content cause its a waking nightmare to balance

Totem set, broken lance, FK,rogue set,meteor all of those are really strong

[wide sentinel]

Block effect

[sick rampart]

thanks a ton!

[wide sentinel]

@sullen isle https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1827443533?t=00h25m59s here lizard summarized the bug that is still in the game and does millions of damage per hit, watch from 26min to 29~

but oh well if you are into abusing bugs, i prefer to stay away from that

tldr use hungering souls with unique staff 9999skulls hit the target, each of those procs bone curse on it which for some reason gets damage multipliers from hungering soul nodes

and it wasnt even mentioned in patch notes

but ngl your post is just weird, you are complaining about them nerfing obviously broken interaction on a skill that is still broken af on literally the strongest class in the game now

[fickle sparrow]

balance adjustments were definitely needed for that - not sure what he was trying to say

its like widely known

[round adder]

If you add an exalted mod to a legendary potential unique, does it influence the lvl requirement on a low level unique item?

[fickle sparrow]

the only room for argument was that you could say it was interpeted as inteded but they clarified the issue in the patch notes

[fickle sparrow]

not after next patch

but as of now thats a yes

they will be retroactively removing those boosted levels as of the patch as well. So if you accidently bricked a leveling item, dont fret

[bold sundial]

whats a good build for necro? they nerf my abomination build again

[potent rapids]

Flame Wraiths

[lyric flume]

Ok, please help me out here.
Lootfilter issue…

I have (in this order):

• show, rare and up
• show specific item types
• show affixes I want
• color idols with affixes I want
• hide normal and magic

If the first line is on top, the second line stops working and the other way around.
What am I missing?

I read the Maxroll guide on loot filters, but apparently still messed it up 😂

Or does it just stop at: all rarities match, skip all orher lines.

[faint cape]

It picks the first rule in the list that matches

So looks like your filer will show all rares+, show normal/magic items with certain affixes or item type, and recolor some idols

[bold sundial]

think of it as first priority top priority

[lyric flume]

Hm. Need to fiddle some more then. Thanks for the info!

[potent rapids]

Does the Tier you choose in Soulfire Bastion affect gambling results other than the rotating bonuses?

[faint cape]

Yeah, area level matters. Also, I think it just offers more items in general and the door bonuses are better in higher tiers.

[potent rapids]

So T3 would have a higher chance of uniques/exalts when gambling than T2 then yeah?

[faint cape]

I'm not sure if the individual chance is higher per item, but more items gives more chances. Higher level also means more LP chance.

[finite peak]

If you got all idol slots and passives, what benefit does completing act 8-9 give?

[sleek sluice]

some quest give attribute

last one

[finite peak]

i see thx

[broken zealot]

does shard tier matter when using rune of shattering?

[trim saffron]

Hello doo we know the hour of patch release ?

[broken zealot]

10am ct i think

sorry 11am ct

[merry aspen]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/rising-flames-update-beta-0-9-1-patch-notes/58988 this link has an adaptive timestamp at the top.

[faint cape]

Can't get more shards of an affix than the item has tiers of it. Removal gives shards equal to the tier.

[slate snow]

does anyone have experience playing warpath as starter build? does it scale good or do i have to respec into it?

[buoyant sinew]

it's quite good for levelling but the damage in the early endgame starts to feel pretty rough. because it's naturally a fairly low-damage skill, you need gear to overcome that, and since your gear sucks in a starter situation I wouldn't really recommend it.

if you really want to play it and love the playstyle it's not the worst thing, but there are tons of better sentinel starter builds

[slate snow]

yeah i figured, thanks!

[heady dawn]

anyone know if the legendary level requirement changes will apply to current legendaries, or just the new ones we make?

[sinful laurel]

Supposed to retroactively correct current legs

[heady dawn]

sweeeet time to prep a few for my new character then

[sinful laurel]

Corrected myself lol, grandfathered was not the right term

[heady dawn]

Id say it was apt enough

[sinful laurel]

I'm pretty sure that's been officially stated

[heady dawn]

I understood what you meant

thanks Primeval

do you know if there are balance changes planned for the current classes?

[faint cape]

Everything that's in the patch notes (not much)

[heady dawn]

so it would be fair to expect the current builds should all still be viable, plus some cool new ones from the new uniques?

[faint cape]

pretty much yeah, any build that wasn't relying on a bug or unintended interaction at least

[heady dawn]

super cool thank you Father Toast

[broken zealot]

are shadows supposed to disappear after using shadow cascade?

[faint cape]

Yes, at least the ones that exist at the time you use it

[cold plaza]

not to dig up a responsefrom 12 hours ago, but what Misha said here is important. The patch notes specifically fixed one bug by just making it a feature.... but the dmg bug with Cursed Limbs will still be in the game. As far as I can tell, the Devs were just recently made aware of this bug -- I expect that it will still be present in 0.9.1

[wide sentinel]

yep! well people warned them about it but maybe its just too much work so they couldnt get to it

[broken zealot]

@faint cape ty

[cold plaza]

tbf, I didn't understand the second portion of the bug until recently. Haven't really been playing Liches, but also thought there was only 1 bug...not 2

[broken zealot]

what's the best 0 mana rogue attack for shadow build

[broken zealot]

best endgame guide?

does % increased dmg while wielding a (x) double when dual wielding (x)

[wide sentinel]

no

[broken zealot]

sad face

[wide sentinel]

why?

its not like dw lacks damage on any build besides vengeance

[broken zealot]

true but i like more damage

[glacial isle]

Is there a reset with the update?

[broken zealot]

overkill is?

[icy drift]

No

[fathom glacier]

it's nighttime in between echos... is this a bug?

[faint cape]

Yes

[normal dagger]

So decided to try the squirrel build. It’s level 76 for the helmet. can a 74 get it with ascendence - or does a primalist have a better chance then say an acolyte?

[broken zealot]

wait, there's a squirrel build?

[normal dagger]

Yup. Uses Herald of scurry or such.

[sinful laurel]

Yes. No.

[sudden notch]

this seems like a death sentence. is there a way to spam cleanse or something to overcome this

[faint cape]

You can cleanse, sure. Plenty of ways to get yourself killed with AoD, though.

[keen lily]

are the merchant guild and circle of fortunes thingys live already?

[native sail]

No

They will be in 1.0 at the latest

[amber cedar]

The 🇷🇺 🇺🇦 reactions to announcements is off-putting. Surely others feel the same? This isn't a geopolitics discord...

[desert tree]

I always try to sneaking a 🇫🇷 , dont see anything wrong about that

[mellow isle]

Hi, I have a skill question.

For Decoy, if I put 1 point into Grand Diversion, does that double damage to those caught in 2 explosions? Does it cause 2 explosions? Thanks!

[swift pendant]

i have a noob question here, i try to look for my save files on Steam to import it to Planner, however it just not show up, i already check my steam cloud, it is still turning on. And i also check the User folder, its not even there? It instead shows the save of a character that i have already deleted like one year ago? What is the problem here? Thank you all in advance

[sleek sluice]

You cannot import online chars

thats why

[swift pendant]

aw shiet silly me

[sleek sluice]

since they arent saved locally pt

[bronze ocean]

Build planner allows to import only offline character files. Online saves are stored on the server and it's not possible to import them until devs provide an API.

[swift pendant]

Thank you, i understand now 😦

[desert tree]

@spice trail Yes same name same skill and same skill tree

[spice trail]

Thank you.

[merry sparrow]

will there be cosmetic rewards for completing things or placing in the leaderboard or whatnot similar to PoE's challenge system in the upcoming patch?

[mellow isle]

Is cosmetics only for online mode?

[desert tree]

yes

[desert tree]

not been announced so I would say no

[faint cape]

Is that the one that makes additional decoys? If so, yes 2 explosions that can both hit the same things

[mellow isle]

sweet, thanks!

I swear, I really want to make a throw rogue, but duel wield rogue is so much fun too, lol.

[faint cape]

I like my beecoy rogue

[icy snow]

hello kind people how many hours until patch drops ?

[desert tree]

there is a pinned post in #💬┃general that will show you the time

according to your time zone

but 3h45

[abstract aspen]

hmm anybody cant connect?

[slate lark]

how long will the update take after we download it

[sterile widget]

There hasn't been server downtime for any of the prior hotfixes. There was an authentication server outage for 0.9, but it was a whole new set of servers. Hard to say.

[stone swallow]

Hey guys, do you know if skills level with use or just passively?

[north lodge]

Do the umbral Blades dropped via Umbral Remnant benefit from "Damage from skills used by shadows" modifiers?

[merry aspen]

They level with experience but as long as you are specced into them it doesn't matter if you use them or not.

[stone swallow]

Alright, thanks! :)

[stone swallow]

guys, should I be hoarding any gear with T4 stats?

[pastel pebble]

Usually no. Unless you are saving them for runes of removal down the line

[round adder]

Any creative uses for runes of shattering that are worth the time and effort? Got over 200, but there arent any affix shards that I feel are even worth using it for. Not like you dont get more than you can use just doing monoliths

[winter folio]

Is battle bloom still bugged for druid? I remember back in 0.9 it didn't work all the time.

[pastel pebble]

They become less useful as time goes on and you build a good stash

[cedar oracle]

as some one who is considering picking up this game today im curious does it still have that terrible microtransaction store system i have been hearing so much about recently?

[round adder]

Funny you should ask, but I'm pretty sure that is something they are updating in todays patch here in a few minutes

[dusky mulch]

Hey, just logged on recently and I don't see item roll range anymore in game when pressing alt, has it been removed or put into an option now ?

[round adder]

Ctrl + Alt iirc

[dusky mulch]

oh lol whut

[cedar oracle]

are there patch notes available ?

[dusky mulch]

I tried to do that yesterday and it didn't work, well thanks o7

[slow axle]

Hey everyone, with the new patch i want to try marksman, and i had a few questions regarding my skill choices before going into the game
I was thinking about detonating arrow for bossing, and multishot for aoe, and i wanted to know if Detonating Arrow was good for ST damage or i should look more into Puncture

Is Marksman relient on Dark Quiver buff to be efficient, or i can replace it with like poison bomb/shuriken?

[cedar locust]

MTX Store Response - https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/response-to-mtx-store/58890

And Patch Notes - https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/rising-flames-update-beta-0-9-1-patch-notes/58988/1 😊

[faint cape]

Can you post the node?

[golden glen]

So do we have a list of all the new uniques yet?

[sinful laurel]

Not fully

[cedar locust]

The team has held back the full list so the player who want to enjoy finding them themselves don't have that fun ruined!

However, my best guesstimate is roughly 12 hours after launch that someone somewhere will have the full list as players share what they have found 😊

[golden glen]

How am I supposed to know what items to chase? I can't live like this! 😛

[cedar locust]

Run blindly through the forest of The Campaign and hope you hit a meadow not an oak tree?

[golden glen]

This is solid advice. What time is the launch supposed to be? I'm working and haven't checked 😦

[cedar locust]

2 mins

[golden glen]

❤️

[faint cape]

Ah yeah. Works normally, but still none of those new 'on landing' nodes work for Maul.

[faint cape]

||Don't tell Averielle I told you, but LE Tools and TunkLab will probably have the full list pretty shortly after the update launches. It is definitely a spoiler though, so use at your own risk.||

[winter folio]

yeah figured. Didn't see any patch notes about them so that tracks

[cedar locust]

https://tenor.com/view/outer-wilds-gif-21283080

[pastel pebble]

Dammit sharpened his pickaxe for this

[golden glen]

This is true. I love those guys

[tight wave]

no wipe?

[gentle imp]

So there's no "League" with this patch?

[native sail]

Cycles are post 1.0

[native sail]

There are no wipes. Ever.

[tight wave]

i mean, we did not get cycle, we can use same stash and chars?

[native sail]

Yeah

[gentle trench]

Can someone tell me if there is an FAQ to the ladder feature? Like how does it work?

[faint cape]

It was announced in one of the news posts

not much to it yet

[broken zealot]

Is the game working for everyone else? Load times are like twice usual and when i leave the end of time it says 0 ms latency.

[cedar oracle]

thanks for the response sadly that wasn't what i was hoping to see as half the fun in these games is hunting down cool looking items having a store to by pass that in a early access game is a little concerning and Epoch Points just seem kind of predatory as is all of this pretend currency you have to buy with real world money in games i don't see why the actual price cant just be displayed but anyway I will hold off buying the game and see what players think of this once the update has been out for a bit. I appreciate the help.

[broken zealot]

lol i have 200 hours in the game and i didn't even realize there was a store

so it's obviously not that impactful

[faint cape]

There wasn't until about 21 minutes ago

[native sail]

They constantly update visuals of items in game first and foremost. The goal has always been to get items looking good and having the store be optional for support long term.

[broken zealot]

ah

lol cosmetics are predatory now?

[faint cape]

but yeah, stuff already looks cool in game and they also just finished all the 3d models for unique weapons

[cedar locust]

The items in the Store are purely cosmetic overlays for your gear, no buffs or p2w.

Also all the in game Unique item models now match the 2d art work so there's a ton of cool looking items to find!

[native sail]

All non-armor uniques iirc. Unique armor is a weird case due to different models last I heard.

[summer hollow]

was there supposed to be a fresh start today?

[native sail]

No

[cedar locust]

Nope, no wipes or resets!

[summer hollow]

aww

[cedar locust]

Though the team did overhaul Chapter 1 so making a new character is a good idea!

[cedar oracle]

when did i say that? i said Epoch Points as aswell as all pretend currency you buy in video games are predatory as its literally a industry standard to muddy the waters of what your actually spending aswell as forcing people to spend more than they should for an item i would have far less of an issue here if this game just displayed the actual price for an item and got rid of these Epoch Points all together

[native sail]

They aren't muddied at all

[broken zealot]

sorry is math that hard for you?

[native sail]

$1 USD to 10 Epoch points

Simple and clean

You're free to go ask Mike why they use a point system, he has a legitimate explanation on it

[cedar locust]

If we disagree, we will disagree respectfully - lets not insult one another please

[mortal minnow]

[SOLVED] - Use the ALT key to see descriptions for the linked text.

When I hover over a specialized skill node - sometimes the node has underlined text (such as Kinetic Burst for the Rogue's Flurry Kineticism node). My thoughts would be that I could click this underlined text for more info on the effect. However, mousing away from the node to the underlined text makes the hovering description go away.

Is there any way to get more information on what Kinetic Burst or other underlined info is? I did not see it when I searched in the Game Guide either.

[cedar oracle]

so then if an item cost 15 epoch points I'm forced to spend $2 USD instead of $1.50 USD its a predatory business model in my opinion that is literally designed to muddy the waters of a $ transaction in game if its so simple and no different than just displaying the actual price of an item then why not just do it that way and cut out E.P all together i think that question kind of answers itself. anyway im not gonna take over this channel arguing about it so im gonna leave it there for now.

[fossil dagger]

The new patch is shiny and being downloaded but has anyone spied progress on the trading guilds yet? Or is that a 1.0 priority item?

[brave ibex]

Did you read the post they made about it?

[cedar oracle]

i seen this but my concern would still be keeping this system in the game still opens the door for what i have been saying to take place at some point

[steel merlin]

So you are complaining about something they explicitly said won't happen

[cedar oracle]

nope

[steel merlin]

At that point anything is a complaint

[inland crypt]

Gonna start a new toon. Druid or rogue? Hmm any thoughts on fun and ease of play?

[rotund ether]

Is anyone else having an issue logging in on their characters?

[inland crypt]

Yeah it’s laggy as hell right. Ow

[rotund ether]

Nice. Great patch.

[summer hollow]

are names unique in this game ?

[surreal zealot]

after the new patch i can enter the game with only 2 characters out of 5. Anybody has the same issue?

[surreal zealot]

oh, looks like im not alone, lol

[summer hollow]

towns are struggling, open areas are not

[cedar locust]

The team is aware of it

[native sail]

Only per account iirc. So two people could have a toon named "Rogue" but one person cannot have two with the same name, I think

[tight wave]

anyone else can't get in game?

forever connecting

[native crescent]

same here

At this time, offline is working correctly.

[orchid snow]

newbie question: Can I run Monolith with other people in a party?

[storm blaze]

Yes

[orchid snow]

Awesome, now I just need to make some friends

[rotund gyro]

anyone else getting stuck at "Connecting..." tried both US East and US Central, cant get into game

was literally just playing until i updated. verified game files no issues

oops i should have read above

lol

[storm blaze]

Yes. It's also in the #news

[round adder]

Yeah, I'm a bit confused by the question and response too. your initial question implied you didn't buy the game because of the poor implementation of microtransactions. Then the next response says the microtranactions are predatory and too easy to make your early lvl character look cool. So not sure what you're looking for. I can say that my end game characters look quite cool and I haven't touched the microtransactions at all. I do feel it a bit strange to have microtransactions in a paid game.... but I'm just old like that

[trim cave]

hello everyone, just asking is the new update up or not yet? kinda confused with the timing

[rugged sinew]

it's out

[trim cave]

ty, time to leave work and go home then xD

[rugged sinew]

there are some connection issues atm

[trim cave]

ah im not missing much then, no rush

[acoustic thicket]

did my characters suddenly stop working after the patch? or do I just need to restart comp/

keep getting cannot connect msgs

[storm blaze]

#news

[acoustic thicket]

ah ty much

[tawny torrent]

We can have more EXP in "Hardcore Characters" ?

[brave ibex]

No

[tawny torrent]

What we won to create in "Hardcore" then ?

[brave ibex]

It's just a challenge mode

[tawny torrent]

Just for fun then ?

[brave ibex]

Yep

[inland crypt]

If I clicked wrong for an early skill point can I respec that one point?

[dim raven]

how do you change a skill in the skills bar? am I dumb or what? dragging and dropping seems to not work

[storm blaze]

Just click the slot
and then click the skill you want there

[dim raven]

ok i'm dumb, thanks @storm blaze :>

[storm blaze]

We all have our moments

[nova terrace]

can someone help me with act 1 lol. never thought i'd have to ask

can't find the portal to ancient era lol

also i rescued balthas but no relevant quest popped up

[willow tusk]

Any recommendations for a class+build that's a great allrounder, fast at mapping and is somewhat wrist friendly aka not 15 keys per second XD

[inland trellis]

was lich bone curse nerfed? or still op?

[sleek sluice]

it was nerfed

[round adder]

I started out with this one, was incredibly hands off
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KThLG5vtfo

[left sentinel]

are cosmetics account bound or can you sell it on market

[jaunty atlas]

so - anybody else stuck at "connecting"?

[sinful laurel]

A lot of people are

[icy drift]

"We are aware of some connecting issues that seem to be particularly bad when attempting to enter a town. We are working on fixing it ASAP." - Mike

[young root]

My game just shows the steam accoutn required screen. But i bought the game a few weeks back on steam and never had to make a migration....
anyone with the same error ?

[atomic zenith]

Things didn’t reset with patch right? I can log into my old character from 0.9.0?

[eager gazelle]

Nothing reset

But there's connection issues going on with online characters that they're working on

Going on 2.5 hours now 😐

[lone gyro]

are the hand of judgement gloves fairly common?

[slate snow]

anyone else having problem to connect?

[eager gazelle]

They are listed as "Common" rarity

vikthoe, known issue, being worked on

[sinful laurel]

Yeah. Pretty common to see erop

Too common cause I don't want them lol

[lone gyro]

lol yeah going to attempt to try them out

[sinful laurel]

Judgment builds are very popular

And quite strong

[eager gazelle]

They were patched today so you no longer get the aoe per attunement while armed

[sinful laurel]

Even after the bug fix they should still stand up well

[eager gazelle]

So you can't abuse the double dot wands with the gloves

But yeah, it feels fine. The initial impact does a TON of damage because of all the flat so it makes up for the 40% dps loss on the dot ticks

[lone gyro]

meh never played with them, so everything will be a new experience for me, but im highly interested in them, just need to find them first

[eager gazelle]

Farm ending the storm

They're pretty common

your goal is mana from lp

[sinful laurel]

You will see a pair pretty quick

[eager gazelle]

I had a 3LP pair and bricked them, hit all BUT the mana

then hit attunement and mana on a 2lp pair, 1 in 12 rng gods smiled on it

[lone gyro]

what about CDR?

[eager gazelle]

You'll get the CDR you need from 2 opal rings

til then get t5+ cdr on either boots or belt

[lone gyro]

awesome, this is great info, thanks a lot!

[eager gazelle]

rings aren't that bad to craft. elemental damage over time > healing effectiveness > attunement > damage over time or fire damage

for prefix priorities

[slate snow]

can someone confirm they can enter the game or not?

[eager gazelle]

we cannot

The servers are having issues accepting new connections. It's being worked on for past 2 hours plus.

[slate snow]

oh soorry missed this 😛

can i follow updates somewhere or just keep trying?

[eager gazelle]

Scratch that. I just tried and got in.

Try again

[slate snow]

#1

still have problems with loading screen while in game though 😛

[prime peak]

Anyone know what best mastery is if i wanna go hammer build?

[bitter rune]

paladin i believe

[sudden notch]

what are people doing with bone curse after the fix? just stacking CDR.... seems annoying

[eager gazelle]

Even stacking CDR won't help

The hungering souls lich build is basically no longer viable in its current implementation

Your uptime on bone curse on hit went from 5s at 5/5 to 1.25s at 5/5

Even stacking max T7 CDR on all possible items gives you 50% uptime at best

[abstract flint]

friend is unable to connect to server just keeps saying "lost connection to server" i've tried everything at this point help pls

[eager gazelle]

There's been an issue for past couple of hours with connectivity

Restart game and retry

I was able to reconnect about 20 minutes ago after being unable to connect for 2 hours

[lethal flicker]

Has anyone seen one of those new bow crit affixes yet?

I haven't dropped any so far

[velvet whale]

okok

[torn haven]

So is LP replaced with weavers will right?

[sinful laurel]

No. Separate mechanics

[torn haven]

Gotcha

[gusty tendon]

i just finished "the shard" in keepers camp and there is no quest or anything to do after that

lol

think they forgot to finish act 1

[cunning hawk]

Hi is there anyway for me to delete offline stash? wanna create "new" start in offline but want shared stash if i rip

[eager gazelle]

Delete the groups

[fickle sparrow]

where do i go after completing the shard

balthas left

and theres no indicators or new locations

[merry aspen]

I'm a bit confused about the ending of act 1: ||Balthas slams two Epoch shard together and then send himself and us forward in time (that's what it looks like anyway). But in the ruined era Elder Gaspar says we only have one.|| Can someone help me make sense of this?

[glass ferry]

Is there an option to turn on instant text for npcs instead of scrolling?

[rotund glacier]

I select the central server and it putts me to east? Before the update I was at a steady 53ms now I'm over 150ms this update made the game unplayable for me I'm really upset , yes I am hard wired only a PC is connected to the router also

I have relaunched 3 times still putting me to east

[willow tusk]

Sorry for late reply. I played that last patch and while it was great it felt slow. Even when i got double idol and swapped into flame wraith it still felt pretty slow

[worthy heron]

im stuck after the first keeper's camp questline.. i have no quests left. where do i go ?

[timid cloak]

I'm on the same boat here, trying to backtrack to see if I find something

[cedar oracle]

i said i was looking to buy it today but had a question about all the negative stuff i had been hearing about how the store was being implemented i got an answer to that and unfortunately it had me decide i would wait to see once people had some time with the update/store and give there feed back then ill come back to the decision of a purchase ( and that is completely reasonable) as for people here on more than one occasion now trying to make it out like i said microtransactions are in some way just inherently predatory by themselves that's just straight up false i said the Epoch Points and other pretend currencies like it in games you buy with real money are an industry standard these days that in my opinion is predatory i gave a quick example as to why and I'm not crazy about a store in a early access game but would have far less of an issue with it if it didn't have this Epoch Points system attached to it. nobody has to agree but i do feel enough back and forth on the topic has happened lets leave it there.

[ruby inlet]

Does anyone know how to put images in the forums for bug reporting?, do google drive links works?

[austere gulch]

Anyone know how to fix this I cant put points into this node anymore and it looks bugged

[inland crypt]

So I leveled an offline toon and this is my first online one. Is there a way to power level with others to avoid going through the whole story again?

[heady dawn]

not really, but once you start doing multiple online character, having the shared stash tabs lets you run through content much faster

[inland crypt]

You can share the stash? There was an option when I made my online to share my offline stash but it said I wouldn’t be able to play with others

Wish I had made that one online.

[heady dawn]

yeah I have only made online characters so not sure all of the limitations

[inland crypt]

I wish they let you transfer offline to online. I only made offline bc i had heard it’s smoother

[heady dawn]

im sure it is, but I play with friends so made online

[jaunty fulcrum]

was the change to warpath intended ?? now you need to hold the key like it was before. i was playing that build because it was nice on my wrists since i have problems :/

[native sail]

Yes it was intended. They're looking at toggle for accessibility options in the future, but the "toggle" that existed already was a bug and causing issues under the hood

[north lodge]

Are penetration and Shred's Negative resistance damage amps effectively multiplicative with each other, or additive?

[desert tree]

additive because you are effectively doing the same thing reducing the ennemy resist

[normal bolt]

leveling an account. but i think im soft locked while questing

there's no waypoint to teleport to, and clicking the active quest just changes the time period to the Ruined Era. Please help!

unsure if this is a new bug from the update. leveled 4 other characters with no problem

please @ or dm me!

[heady dawn]

you try restarting the game?

[normal bolt]

yes

[heady dawn]

thats all I got

[normal bolt]

still having the same problem unfortunately

thx man

any staff/devs available rn? i dont it'll be good to ping em

[heady dawn]

you could submit a ticket on #support

[normal bolt]

yea... gonna give that a shot

[heady dawn]

can you not travel anywhere? another thing could be trying to walk to the next objective instead of fast travel

[normal bolt]

i can travel, but im unsure what my next objective is

and my last play session was last night. i dont remember where I was last

welp. ticket submitted. now we wait

[heady dawn]

https://lastepoch.fandom.com/wiki/The_Last_Refuge

[normal bolt]

funky

u available rn to voice chat?

i can share my screen

i looked at that site, and the quests before it

still workin on figuring it out

[heady dawn]

nope, just googling info from your screenshot and seeing what I can come up

[normal bolt]

i appreciate u trying to help

[heady dawn]

good luck

[native sail]

Don't touch that site. It's very, very, very, very, very out of date

[mighty jackal]

How often a item with lv 70 to legendary potential drops with at least 2LP? I'm trying to farm a Julra Ring with 2LP and has been very hard to drop it

[sterile widget]

quite rare, but not completely ridonculous

it may also seem a lot harder as the Ring comes with 1LP by default

[unkempt lily]

is there going to be a wipe when the game launches?

[mighty jackal]

But this ring is able to have 2LP, or it will always drop with 1 LP?

[native sail]

No.

[worthy drum]

It has a chance to roll 2LP and could have (unrealistically) up to 4LP like most other uniques.

[native sail]

No uniques have a locked amount of LP, just a realistic amount. Expecting more than 2LP on any of Julra's drops is pretty wishful thinking.

[mighty jackal]

Ok I got it, I was in doubt because I went do tier 1 Julra boss most than 20 times and not dropped a 2LP ring yet

Thx for the answers

[worthy drum]

Since Temporal Sanctum at Tier 1 isn't a high area level, your odds of having a 2LP version of the item are even lower; as LP roll chance is influenced by area level.

[mighty jackal]

Hmm this explain a lot. But for example, T4 Julra only has 11% chance to drop the ring, which of the tier would be better to farm it?

[final maple]

sorry if this is stated somewhere i can't find, but how often do they plan on releasing new cosmetic/supporter packs or are these a one time thing and after is just one off occasional cosmetics?

[worthy drum]

At Tier 4 you're looking at 1.37% chance to get 2LP with a 11% drop chance, but 0.01% at Tier 1 with a 100% drop chance. (Potentially incorrect) Napkin math says that at Tier 1 you'd have to do it ~10,000 times to expect a single 2LP drop and at Tier 4 you'd have to do it ~1,100 times. They're both pretty awful to be honest.

[mighty jackal]

I got it, you was very clear, thank you

[amber void]

can anyone explain me what's the point of the ignite chance on hit while channeling? was that made for channeled skills that hit?

[worthy drum]

Disintegrate has a node (Dragon Tongue) that says: "Disintegrate gains a chance to ignite per second equal to your chance to ignite on hit." So it's probably made for that. There could be others, but that's the one that came to mind.

[sudden notch]

elemental nova can be channeling too i think

[amber void]

luminaire?

[sudden notch]

i have a feeling that this does not work with cursed limbs right?

chance on hit vs cast

[native sail]

These ones will cycle out 30 days after 1.0 which is planned by the end of the year

[junior rivet]

Im stuck after the Summit quest chapter 1, quest finished but nowhere else to go. Someone know what to do?

[amber void]

did you explore the rest of the area?

[junior rivet]

Yes, talked to the old man in the cage, told me to come back to Keepers Camp and then nothing

[amber void]

i think you have to speak with a a NPC on the left side of the map, near the statue

[junior rivet]

After i click that, no other quest 😦 might be a bug

[ocean cliff]

Is rotten to the core bugged or what?

cant access that part of the tree

[amber void]

how does Magnify (Disintegration) work? it has chance to apply ignite per tick or per second? also, i think is bugged, i have +100% chance because of that passive, but the numbers of stacks is inconsistent

[sterile widget]

yes

[worn basin]

I played a few self-made builds and even beat t4 Julra with 3 of them. But I want to try a build that is considered really OP to see what's possible.
I thought about Flame Wraiths or Thorn Totems, but I saw that they fixed the bug that tipped both builds into the OP category (Julra Gloves).
Is there anything similar that is considered way too strong at the moment?
I just want to feel like a god for a week after struggling with my own builds to success :D

Hello people ! I'm lvl 62 and still doing some campaign stuff, doing kinda all quests. I see "passive skill points" and "idol inventory expansion" in the rewards, but I'm pretty sure my idol inventory is maxed. Last quest I completed, I did not receive a passive point either.
Does this mean that there are a certain amount of quests to deal with that reward these things and you gotta chose which ones you do ?

[native sail]

Yup. Check this thing in your lower left corner of your map, that's your limit.

[scenic brook]

Pretty cool system

It's been a long time I hadn't enjoyed the campaign in an ARPG

i am in Asia can't play online just reach the loading screen then time out

all my previous offline characters have become unplayable

essentially the game is no longer working on or offfline as far as I'm concerned

who can help

[storm blaze]

Try verifying game files

[potent wind]

how do i do that

i've done it with grim dawn before but i forgot already

is i t in steam

seems like a great idea

[storm blaze]

It's in steam
right click the game and then... properties and you should find it from there
Not at pc with steam currently

[potent wind]

i will try it work or not you have my big big thanks

[storm blaze]

Good luck

[potent wind]

am doing it right now

says 1 file failed to validate and will be reacquired

should i just restart the game

or do i need to uninstall

[storm blaze]

Close the game and let it redowload that 1 file

and after that is done try playing again

[potent wind]

ok i will try

[rancid rover]

What is the LOWEST WW anyone has seen? I know what the minimum is, I just want to know what people are realistically seeing. For science.

[native sail]

Technically? Zero. But that's a bug. I've seen a few 9s posted.

[worthy drum]

That's good enough. I just needed to see if people were getting lower than 11.

Ah, nevermind. Early morning math brain isn't firing on all cylinders. Not sure what I was thinking.

[native sail]

Understandable. It's 8AM and I haven't slept yet.

[scenic brook]

Capping resistances is just meant to take "normal" damages when you reach area level 75, right ?

If I understand the system correctly, if I'm not shredded, even with overcapped rez, at area level 75, I'll be effectively at 0% resistances.

[kindred citrus]

Hi all, unfortunately I got stuck in a quest "Journey to Majelka" where I have to talk to Sorethka Nagasa. I already did that couple of times, but progress wont get further, it staty, circly is blinking and I do not know what to know. Any kind of help would be so appreciated! Tnx guys...

[hasty tartan]

What might be a good way to level beastmaster? Looking at a scorpion build which looks fun, but it needs some nodes that are later in the beastmaster tree.

Would leveling wolves and respeccing to scorpion later be the best bet?

[heady junco]

Is anyone else has problem with normal echo Lair of Formosus stuck on loading screen, or it's just me?

[faint cape]

Correct

Known bug

can't go down that path until it's fixed, which will hopefully be after hotfix 1 since this is a bug that already happened before, shouldn't be too hard for them to fix

possibly not, yeah. hotfix 1 will likely come today, we'll see if the fix is in then

[faint cape]

certainly not a bad way to go, wolves+swipe should easily get you far enough to unlock and swap to whatever skill you want to run

[hasty tartan]

Thanks!

[fierce swan]

Any good build recommendations for the weapon "The last laugh" ?

[errant saffron]

hey when i play alone i play on my server ping is fine but joining a friend puts us on an awful server, is there any way to fix? we play on the same server

[woeful fiber]

I am stuck in login window, does someone have the same problem?

[summer umbra]

Yes

[lost hull]

Servers are off?

[woeful fiber]

I don't know, that's why I came to ask on Discord. Initially, I thought it was just a problem on my end.

[faint cape]

Servers are still up and running

[trim saffron]

EU west cant login ...... Again new patch and again problems ....

[scenic brook]

Well, that is a beta, isn't it ?

It would be way more helpful to report the issue, sharing where you are from, and trying to narrow down where the problem comes from. I'm on EU West, and I had no issue whatsoever today.

[woeful fiber]

That's alright. I see that they are aware of the issue and are working on a fix.

[brave ibex]

But it's so much easier to just complain in discord 🙃

[scenic brook]

is there any way I can check the damage coming from item abilities ?

or the exact crit chances of my spells that are influenced by specific modifiers ?

No, not without doing math

[languid roost]

does anyone know if winter build on the avalanche tree up effects the cost of snowcrash boulders on the earthquake tree? it stats its effected by the avanlanche tree but not sure if it means only nodes that mention boulder

[tight wave]

do we have to wear new weavers items to level them? or enough to have in inventory?

[faint cape]

Must be equipped

[winter folio]

Is there a way to drop quests?

[lusty moon]

does bonus size actually do anything? larger aoe?

[faint cape]

There is no way to modify the cost of the boulder proc

They are just different modifiers in the damage calc, +damage is usually a lot harder to come by, so it's relatively more powerful most of the time

[faint cape]

larger hitbox (such as for being hit by projectiles) and the higher radius makes them count as slightly closer (for determining aggro)

[analog prairie]

hey i have a qq about the supporter packs. is it similar to PoE that if you purchase bigger package, smaller packages are included (including store points).

[faint cape]

Not always, but usually

[brave ibex]

Nope the packs are completely separate

[analog prairie]

thanks for the quick answer!

[rough elm]

Hi, did jugdement got nerfed this patch? because the circle is much lower now

[uncut night]

Bamboozled - did we had ability to put talents into non-mastered trees earlier? it is some feature of 9.1 that i missed in the patch notes? or bug?

i mean, wsnt non-mastered trees locked earlier?

or... did i found something important ive played without for a long time... hmmm?

[near path]

always had it

it's limited to I think 25 points? 30 idk? in non-mastery tree

[uncut night]

need to respec some of my chars! o.O outstanding

[near path]

ehm it's sort of an ARPG thing I guess. Basically, an item can have only 2 of each (in this game)

and the grouping, prefix or suffix, is sort of indicative of the type of stats you can get

[uncut night]

prefixes and suffixes - different mods on items, and u can get up to 2 pre and 2 suff on item at once (not like 0+4) (unless some despair magic)

preffixes are commonly offensive, and suffixes defensive, but thats not a rule, depends on build

[near path]

e.g. on weapons, prefixes are generally offensive like flat damage / crit / crit multi, while suffixes are utility like chance to inflict ailments / attack speed

[uncut night]

both of them, pre and suf, are called affixes - modificators to item

[near path]

on armour the prefixes are usually stats / skill boosts, while suffixes are resistances / defences

[sinful laurel]

Lastepochtools.com/planner. Will be your friend

LEtools has a much smoother set of functionality imo, but maxroll works too. LEtools explicitly shows you prefixes and suffixes possible for every item

[sick basalt]

if i equip two same weapons will their effects and stats stack with each other?

[sinful laurel]

For the most part yes

[sick basalt]

i dont see any good off hand or shield for my primalist minion focus

so might as well dual wield

[sinful laurel]

Can ask in primalist for possible useful items but yeah, up to you

[faint cape]

A good shield will make you a lot tankier, DW can get you a good chunk of increased minion damage, and fleshbound tome (catalyst) lands somewhere in the middle.

[sick fossil]

what's that? never seen before. 20 LP????

[faint cape]

It's something different. New this patch.

[sinful laurel]

Weavers will uniques are different. Check out the news post on thrm

They level with you, with affixes chosen semi randomly as you level them up

[sick fossil]

I'll go read the patch notes. jusr came back after 2 months and was levelling a paladin

[sinful laurel]

But also...nice 20ww rogue relic. Damn

[sick fossil]

so I must be lucky the 😄

[supple flare]

How do you equip a town portal re-skin you buy?

I'm in the appearance tab, don't see a slot for it.

[obsidian horizon]

Is there any fix for this?

cant skill this

[uncut night]

Do anyone share OFFLINE character saves? for educational purpose, to learn some classes before picking them to play online? I found way to edit them a bit, but slightly unfriendly

[sinful laurel]

Known bug, being fixes in hotfix reportedly

No

[trim saffron]

i dont have all pasives points on old char how can i get a checkpoint to act 1 ? Lol i Play SSA

[sinful laurel]

Only thing you cant

If you want new mastery yup

What about it? Maybe we can workshop it

Lich has some very good defensive layers available. It's likely some mistakes in your passives and gearing

What kind of lich? Hungering souls?

I know that hungering souls crit lich is one of the top builds in the game, even after the recent bug fix/nerf

Oh man, you are level 43. You just gotta focus on resistances and health. I know it can be hard finding gear with decent affixes but you can gamble up to level 40 items.

I would ask in acolyte for specific help with passives and skill setup

Idk the maxroll build for this but in my experience their builds aren't the highest quality

At least for rogue

If you are having trouble surviving and most of your resistances are sub 30, then yeah put some focus into resistances

Ideally you want 75 in all ofc. But that's not realistic for first char at 43. I would focus on getting phys, void and nec to 75 and the rest as high as you can get. Poison can be left lower.

Health just get as much as you can. As lich you have a built in defense layer in a whole additional health bar with reaper form

If you want really specific help with passives and skill specs, def ask in acolyte. Lots of experts there

[subtle timber]

trying to dispel the barrier in the council chambers, and the barrier dont disappear. Anyone know how to work on this?

the ruined world quest

[wanton thicket]

Are the stats which weaver items roll predetermined? Does it matter which class I use to "feed it"?

[sinful laurel]

Supposedly random but weighted toward rarer affixes

If it's a class specific ww it should get that classes affixes if possible

[wanton thicket]

Alright thx

[sinful laurel]

Sweet!!! Glad to hear

Ugh yeah that sucks.

Hopefully hotfix soon

I'm a rogue/mage main. I love bladedancer.

Not as familiar with sentinel but I have a couple forge guard builds and one vk

[pastel pebble]

I like Pally a ton

[sinful laurel]

Yeah I've heard and read really good things. Just never done one personally

[leaden grail]

Does this node on Bone Curse also proc when my minions kill the enemy?

[sinful laurel]

You kill means you

[leaden grail]

And I was wondering why it didn't work 😄

[sinful laurel]

eHG is generally pretty good at being careful with their wording

[manic inlet]

hum im stuck here on this quest, ive talked to this guy 5 times and it wont update

[faint cape]

Just head out the door to the right, hopefully the quest picks up

[manic inlet]

yeah i figured it out, still dumb that the quest doesnt update

[rotund ore]

So, what is the state of multiplayer and trade in this game?

How does multiplayer feel in Last Epoch compared to the feel of multiplayer in Path of Exile and D2R ?

And how does trade feel? Is Last Epoch going a better approach than PoE's dumb Trade Manifesto approach?

D2R's trade doesn't feel like it is worth mentioning, since you effectively must use either the official D2R Trading discord, or 3rd party websites

[onyx hill]

wait my barbarian spin feels weird

[outer mango]

many bugs on multiplayer atm but it gets better for sure. also there is no trading other than gifting to party member atm, its coming at 1.0

[modest gale]

Does the "1% more damage per shock" on Oceareon stack with 2 of them?

[outer mango]

i had lots of fun today playing with 2 friends

[sinful laurel]

It should yes

[rotund ore]

Is there a roadmap/plan or overall idea of what trade will look and feel like posted somewhere by the devs?

[outer mango]

its announced like any news in discord

[rotund ore]

Developers typically have a roadmap and/or idea of how they plan to implement a system, at least if they are transparent and want feedback for the system as quickly as possible.

Judging from your response, nothing of the sort has been publicly posted yet

[outer mango]

https://bit.ly/MGandCoF

[rotund ore]

The Bazaar sounds sooooo much better than what you have to deal with in D2R and PoE

[leaden bolt]

Is Spirit Plague node Rotten to the Core bugged for everyone? Can't select it and the text is bugged.

[sinful laurel]

Yup known issue

Should be fixed in hotfix. Hopefully sooon

[leaden bolt]

ty

[onyx hill]

how do i repsawn after death

my button disappeared

[fickle sparrow]

anyone else get negative stats removing weaver items

[merry aspen]

I read that relogging fixes that issue

[fickle sparrow]

word, thats what i just told my buddy to do

[onyx hill]

how do i get unstuck after charging into wall

[merry aspen]

You can try wiggling your way out with a movement skill. If that doesn't work, it's also gonna have to be relogging.

[nimble meteor]

Hey guys was wondering if they gave out free currency with the new skins update

[fickle sparrow]

if you bought your game prior to 9.0

[merry aspen]

They did not. I'm assuming that you heard people say they had 350 automatically?

[onyx hill]

ty, apparently having a party friend helps, the friend warp button insta unstuck

[nimble meteor]

oh I joined during the multiplayer patch

not sure what version that is me and my buds wanted to try it

[merry aspen]

That was 0.9. You had to buy the game before then to get the 350.

[nimble meteor]

ah rip guess we never getting cool stuff haha

Ty guys

[winter folio]

Is it possible to either reduce the cooldown of the Simoon unique proc or extends its duration?

[sinful laurel]

CDR doesn't affect item procs

pretty sure that's a universal

[winter folio]

And I don't think I can extend the duration of the tornado either.

[sinful laurel]

Can you extend the duration of tornado within the tornado skill?

[winter folio]

there is one duration node, but that isn't long enough sadly.

assuming it does effect it.

[sinful laurel]

It should. It's casting tornado with tornadoes mana cost but the wording is a bit unique here with the "this only modifies tornadoes cast by this effect". Would need a test probably

And if it isn't long enough anyways then maybe not worth

[winter folio]

I've tested it always with the nodes on

I was hoping to leave a bit of a "trail" of fire tornados that could clean up some of the trash I missed to help with FPS issues.

But I guess ill throw that out the window

[sinful laurel]

Yeah the 3 sec CD negates that probably. Unfortunately

[faint cape]

It does kinda work for that for some builds, but yeah the cooldown means it won't be everywhere. There are builds that innately mop stuff up, like vinebear

[winter folio]

yeah, my favorite build is cold dot bear but i've played that so many times now and nothing has really changed with it so I wanted to expand.

speaking off trying out new things.
Is that node also bugged in bear form?

It works in human form, but if you try it in bear form with the connected maul > fury node it doesn't work.

[faint cape]

None of those new (added in 0.9.0) on-landing nodes work for maul, all bugged

[desert tree]

Do we know how WW item gains xp ? Does area lvl or inc xp influence those gains ? Does the amount of xp needed increase every time ?

[native sail]

Kills, I believe

People have reported that arena is very quick for them

So I would imagine it is just raw kill count

[thin tinsel]

guys question about lightning aegis, it says its duration is either 10 seconds or 25% life lost, does ward count for the life lost or is only actual life?

[native sail]

Interesting. Weird that arena seems to be quickest then

[desert tree]

🤷‍♂️

[worthy drum]

Datamined info seems to indicate that it's a 1% chance per kill (for enemies that grant any number of xp) to consume the WW and upgrade the item. Then there's an internal cooldown of 15 seconds between upgrades. So in an arena setting it would make sense that it upgrades WW items quickly.

[desert torrent]

Is the initial monolith of fate quest bugged?

[desert tree]

wdym ?

[faint cape]

Earlier a dev said that WW does not scale with XP

[desert torrent]

I killed act 9 boss, gone to end of time but I can't enter in the first monolith

The quest is bugged

[faint cape]

Er actually, not a dev, that was in the patch notes. The speed that WW upgrades does not scale with experience

not sure which is correct

[hallow basin]

If I ignite an enemy with a throwing attack would I get life leech based on the ignite damage if I had "throwing damage leeched as life" or would it only leech on the hit damage?

[faint cape]

ignite does not deal throwing damage, so no

[naive nimbus]

Is it possible that the overhauled ch. 1 doesn't have a main quest until you reach the Council Chambers?

[near path]

any Werebear players here?

I noticed that my Maul isn't applying Fury Leap's Frenzy, even though I have the node on the Fury Leap tree and I also have the Fury Leap --> applies to Maul node

this despite the fact that the pull-in from the Fury Leap tree is applying just fine

so idk what's happening here

[lilac estuary]

Whats a good class to help me learn what I am doing?

[faint cape]

It's a bug

[broken burrow]

acolyte into necro

[lilac estuary]

Ight any build specifically?

[broken burrow]

any you like, last epoch tools is a great resource

[near path]

Crap. Is it one of those known bugs the devs are working on?

Or is it something I need to report

Ok on browsing it seems like these bugs have been reported a fair few times

[fickle silo]

where is the spot for exlted helmets?

[native sail]

No specific monolith for any exalted items. Farming exalts is done best usually in Temporal Sanctum

[woeful horizon]

is anyone else stuck trying to enter the world on their characters?

[drifting kettle]

i bought Last Epoch a while ago, but I don't see the Travelers Backpack MTX anywhere. Where would I find it?

[woeful horizon]

restarting steam and verifying the files fixed my problem in case anyone else has it

[naive valve]

did primalist or necro get any buff/nerfs this patch?

[broken burrow]

you have to go to thier website

[icy bramble]

What will be easier to start with? (new player btw)

• Crit Squirrels
• Shadow Daggers
• Marrow Shards

[long peak]

Hi, does volatile blood of lich affect DoT dmage to the player?

[native sail]

Post it?

[quasi path]

Hi, I wanted to know detail about the Flow passive for the Bladedancer ? What is considered unique skill ?

[native sail]

A unique skill is any "different" skill basically. If you just use say Shadow Cascade on repeat, you're only using one unique skill. If memory serves, Cinder Strike and Umbral Blades bypass this because each throw/"step" of them is technically a unique skill

[quasi path]

Alright, because I want the damage increase from the passive while being Marksman. So, if spam Detonate Arrow I will gain flow stack then

[native sail]

From what I know of Flow, no you won't, because you're just repeating one skill and you gain Flow by using unique skills.

[quasi path]

That is confusing, thx for your answer

[faint cape]

Definitely not squirrels. Maybe shadow daggers

[icy bramble]

Thanks daddy toast

[ocean beacon]

Anyone found a use for the new ring, Font of the Erased?

[proud bridge]

yo found another bug... alric quest in the sewer cant be claim as complete. already kill target quest point back to him but he keep talking like the quest just bout to start... anyone other thn me getting this?

[odd blaze]

How do I permanently turn off public chat? It seems to now reenable every time I go to a new zone.

[sterile widget]

It's a bug

[fleet pewter]

Could someone explain me step by step how to empower monos?

[proud bridge]

u need to reach the middle mono, the one right after u complete reign of dragons first than complete the other 3 high level monos and go back to middle where you'll get a cutscene and after that empowered monos will be unlocked... this was before the rising update dont know if they change anything after the that tho.

[fleet pewter]

So i completed The Age of Winter

This is one after Reign of Dragons

[proud bridge]

yes and u need to complete the other 2 high lvl mono thn go back to the middle one and a cutscene will appear.

[fleet pewter]

Ahh okay!

[brave escarp]

hey guys question, when both players in th party have EU chosen, when we partied up we always get thrown to a US server?

is this a known bug?

[fleet pewter]

Is there any build for minions and minions DOT?

[lethal flicker]

Hey guys, I know there isn’t an option for it, but is there a way to manually disable all character effects caused by you? I’m getting a little tired of the lack of visual clarity with all the things firing around all over the place

[lime nebula]

Hey guys I'm new to LE I started the game as a acolyte turned necro but I'm looking to find a class that does big aoe burst damage any one know a class that does tbatv

[sterile widget]

There is not. If there are particular effects causing you issues, you can provide #368968647114227723

[lethal flicker]

My main is a void knight atm. With anomaly constantly bubbled around me, I really can’t see much happening on the ground below me. This is particularly bad as a melee character because I have to stop and linger a bit longer than ranged classes to get the swings in. When you factor in all the mobs surrounding you, it accentuates it further

[sterile widget]

Sounds like good feedback. Pop it in the #368968647114227723 channel. The devs read it and log stuff on a daily basis.

[lethal flicker]

I’ll give it a go. Thank you

[lime nebula]

Hey guys I'm new to LE I started the game as a acolyte turned necro but I'm looking to find a class that does big aoe burst damage any one know a class that does tbatv

[lethal flicker]

https://youtu.be/spRza_2kAJA hi there crusty. A lot of people cite this one as one of the kings of aoe clearing. The video doesn’t showcase it well because this guy is only obsessed with boss kills. But this one will delete everything on your screen from my understanding

https://youtu.be/23-HK8c90fM and this one doesn’t have BIG aoe in the burst sense, but you get to sleep while killing everything off the screen as well as on. And it requires next to no gearing

[rigid eagle]

Hey guys i am trying to progress the story im in sorethka at the moment and i have to talk to the snake but nothing happens when i do and i cannot progress am i missing something>

[finite python]

finally found an exsanguinous

what easiest build to do for it?

[alpine token]

is there a way to move stash tabs into other categories? I took too long to realize that other categories existed =/
Edit: nvm found it. For those also oblivious there's a drop down if you right click a tab.

[lime nebula]

If letsbsay I get to a point where I want to change my build will I be able to completely be able to or is that barriers

[alpine token]

You can remove every passive point and change every specialized skill. The only things you can't change are class and your mastery path. No cost to swapping skills except time to re-level them and the gold cost of passive swapping imo isn't bad, so it's actually viable to do a build overhaul.

What's the highest level of affix? (I see 6 on my exalts but I'm curious of it goes higher)

[lyric flume]

I have a Werebear question...

The skill description says: "Rage will slowly decays over time in a steady rate".
Then all skills in Werebear form cost "0 mana" (which I assume now is Rage).

But, when I use any Werebear skill, sometimes it chunks off 10 ~ 20 rage from the rage pool.
Where is that coming from?

[alpine token]

afaik the primalist form skills don't cost rage, it just decays. There are some nodes that make things cost rage though. Like swarmblade has a node that casts maelstrom when you use dive and it costs a % of maelstroms mana cost as rage to do so.

Ok yeah, checking the warbear tree you can cast upheaval, maelstrom, fury leap, entangling roots, warcry. All of those consume rage to cast

[lyric flume]

Ah, you derived that from the skill.

Warcry costing 15 mana

for instance

And Roar basically is Warcry

[alpine token]

The Tremor Slam node that casts upheaval seems to have a typo where it just says it consumes the mana cost, missing the "as rage" at the end but presumably it works the same way.

Sometimes it uses the skill directly, other times it applies your skill specializations to the forms skill. It'll say which it does. Like in swarmblade form you can have your serpent strike tree apply to armblade slashes. It doesn't replace the slashes or cause a new skill trigger, it just modifies the slashes.
When they do that they use any specializations you have on those skills(except ones that specify that they require direct casting), including mana cost reduction.

[lyric flume]

Ah yea, found the

m

Thank you!

The magic ALT button ^.^

[marsh radish]

guys does anyone know if this node also convert the aftershock from earthquake to fire?

[lyric flume]

Does it say when you ALT the main skill?

[proud bridge]

ritual lake is bugged chakram projectile dont work on the watery surface

[marsh radish]

I don't see anywhere

[lyric flume]

I think it actually might, because the description includes that it also creates aftershocks. So, it suggests it’s part of the skill itself. But to be sure I’d maybe ask this in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs

[leaden grail]

What exactly is effected by healing effectiveness? I'd assume that health regeneration is? What about health on kill/melee hit?

[merry aspen]

None of those things are affected by healing effectiveness, only heals are. A skill has the heal tag so you know it applies there.

[leaden grail]

AH, ok. Thanks

[languid roost]

when you turn earthquake to a spell does it scale with cast or attack speed

[ocean beacon]

There are many, Bleeding Squirrels and Ignite Zombies among them

[winter folio]

Is there any way to remove quests from my log, it is filled with quests I haven't done and I'm already doing monos

[potent acorn]

How can I say which skills used by minions are spells and which are attacks? I'm using Flame Wraiths, I would guess that fireball is a spell, but can't find any confirmation in-game

[ocean beacon]

Mouse over your minion skill and it will give you every tag (affix) that your minion will scale from. Typically if your minion is throwing fireballs, it will say Fire, Spell, Minion as scaling tags

[fleet pewter]

Emp. monos have higher chance for better drop of uniqs?

[acoustic thicket]

Yes

Does "stats" mean all stats, like increased armor shred affect, or unique stats from unique items for manifest armor scaling?

[broken burrow]

stats means base stats like dexterity, vitality etc

[acoustic thicket]

Unfortunate, ty

[sinful laurel]

Is that true? MA only takes actual stats? I don't think ao

[acoustic thicket]

I hope it isn't

It'd be really cool if I could make MA a armor shred (using the chest/helmet increased affect affix)/taunt support or the like if I wanted to

[sinful laurel]

Actually I know that isn't true

MA nodes can make it scale with your equipped weapon and weapons can't even roll main stats

[dense root]

yes they can

you can get all attributes on some weapons

[worthy plover]

Hopefully today is the day I get some drops what do you think?

https://tenor.com/view/cat-pray-rngesus-beg-gif-14727259

[acoustic thicket]

Well we could equip the gloves that summon bees on melee hit and see tbh

[sinful laurel]

Lots of ways to test. Take the sword node and put on an aurelis

It also seems silly that forged weapons would work in completely the opposite fashion and take almost any stat from your weapon

[acoustic thicket]

Yeah I'll have to check when I get home

[sinful laurel]

Also, ma already has inherent stat scaling, it would be stupid for it to only take just additional stat scaling from gear

[acoustic thicket]

[dense root]

the easy way to get a good answer here is just to ask mike but i do feel like if it scaled only attributes instead of stats it would just say attributes

like they have a word for that so idk why they wouldn't use it

[sinful laurel]

Could always ask mike yeah haha

[native sail]

Inherited attributes don't do anything to MA, it doesn't have anything that scales with them. It takes them, but does nothing, so effectively the same as not taking them.

[sinful laurel]

That makes sense but doesn't really answer the OP question. What stats does it take from gear?

[native sail]

Almost everything in the game. Anything that it literally doesn't have just... doesn't do anything. So, sure it can inherit +4 to Smelter's Wrath, but it also doesn't have Smelter's Wrath so it'd only get the secondary part of the affix.

There are some unique affixes that don't get inherited, but I don't know them off the top of my head and as far as I know there isn't a list anywhere.

[sinful laurel]

That's what I always thought. The one guy above made me doubt my myself 🙂

[native sail]

MA is a very strange thing to work with

[leaden grail]

Am I undestanding this right: "100% less damage taken on block" on The Slab means you take no damage when you block?

[dense root]

yes

[errant dawn]

how is bladedancer since mp release and recent patches, still on the squishier side without bastion?

[native sail]

When has BD ever been squishy?

[sinful laurel]

No. BD has never been on the squishier side, and still isnt

[dense root]

bd is and always has been insanely tanky

[native sail]

It honestly needs nerfs

[dense root]

nah buff it

i have a bd

give me more

[sinful laurel]

Bring other classes in line with BD!

[errant dawn]

hm maybe i was misled, what do people usually do stack as much dodge chance as possible and pair it with glancing atleast? since you dont have much access to armor right, or did bds bases also get an armor buff?

[native sail]

You have plenty of access to armor

[sinful laurel]

Glancing blow, dodge, endurance, big leech, armor

Movement speed

[errant dawn]

havent looked at the base buffs much

true the movement DR i forgot

[sinful laurel]

BD has a really strong toolkit tbh

I wish a lot of other classes had similar

[native sail]

You can fairly easily dodge cap, GB cap, crimson shrouds, at least a few hundred ward, get 40%+ armor, generic DR, a 3-4k life pool, and huge leech all on one build

[errant dawn]

what even is the dodge cap

[sinful laurel]

And do damage from outside melee

[native sail]

85%

[sinful laurel]

Idk about the dodge cap lol, not with diminishing returns. That requires an insane amount of dodge. But you can get very close with much less investment

Like 75% dodge is achievable by almost any rogue

[native sail]

It isn't as free as dodge cap on Swarmblade, but it's not difficult

[errant dawn]

dualwielding for dodge% rolls is pretty important right?

[native sail]

I don't think I've ever actually dual wielded outside of Fulgurite build

[errant dawn]

oh really

[sinful laurel]

You can get like 50k dodge??

[native sail]

Taking increased damage in higher corruption hurts

[sinful laurel]

I always dual wield fyi

The bonuses far outweigh the drawback imo

[native sail]

In comparison to also being able to shield for block?

[errant dawn]

yeah seems better now that the downside is just 9% inc taken

[sinful laurel]

Yeah honestly. Maybe if you are pushing like 1600+ corr you might want to switch to a shield but for the vast majority of players and situations I wouldn't take a shield over dw

[native sail]

Swarmblade is stupid with dodge, it gets big chunks of % and flat for basically existing.

[sinful laurel]

If you wear a shield you have to stat up for the shield to make any real difference anyways.

[sinful laurel]

Sorry I meant with rogue. And even with swarmblade, I would be amazed if you actually hit true dodge cap

[native sail]

I like my health staying up

[errant dawn]

btw does shadow dagger actually use both if you have flat throwing and a lot of flat melee damage? i figured it would shift to whichever is dominant

[native sail]

Honestly who knows if it does behind the scenes, but on the sheet at least I have seen it hit 85%

[sinful laurel]

Hmm. Crazy

[sinful laurel]

Yes. It's part of why it's so powerful

[native sail]

Under the hood stuff is where it gets confusing. Math is wild.

[errant dawn]

yeah thats crazy, alright might give it another try

[sinful laurel]

It also generally isn't worth it to get THAT much dodge rating, as you will have to sacrifice other defensive layers for very little additional benefit (for not swarmblade at least lol)

[native sail]

Yeah, honestly if you just have like 60% dodge with buffs up and constant GB you're already stacked compared to almost every other class

[sinful laurel]

Yuppp

Gb is amazing

[errant dawn]

gotcha

[sinful laurel]

Endurance cap, gb cap, 60% dodge, 30% armor Dr, and 3k HP and you are sitting pretty

[native sail]

Swarmblade in the corner with 70%+ armor and dodge, leech, ward, regen, generic DR, thorn shield etc etc etc
What a dumb skill

[sinful laurel]

Never played primalist lol. Not once

[native sail]

Most of their stuff isn't super exciting, but hoo boy, swarmblade is nuts

[errant dawn]

i assume armor blessings on BD are a good idea to up that part a bit?

[native sail]

I need to farm that new Mage body at some point. For funny. I don't know if it's good. But... over 90 flat damage for ele nova seems interesting at least

[sinful laurel]

Yup

[native sail]

Armor blessings are good on literally everyone, I'm not sure it's much of a contest anymore

[dense root]

deias give me your swarmblade planner i'm lazy

[native sail]

I don't have one, I winged it in game

[sinful laurel]

Unless you need another blessing specifically to enable something for your build, take armor

[errant dawn]

yeah i guess sometimes on sentinel when you already have a lot but even then it still gives a chunk

figured

[dense root]

smh how am i supposed to be lazy now

[native sail]

Perry has one at least?

[sinful laurel]

Armor stacking sentinel may be one exception, if you can stat something else with more impact on your affix budget

[errant dawn]

also kinda wanted to mess with that detonating arrow dagger thing but that might be a lot of experimenting for me as a bd/rogue newb

did people get that to scale well?

[sinful laurel]

Very fun build.

Big boi damage

Very hard to get defenses

[native sail]

I honestly don't know how it fares anymore. It was insane in the pre-0.9 beta, but they did scale down the base damage a lot

[errant dawn]

oh.. cause its marksman not bd right?

[sinful laurel]

I have a version that is decently tanky but it requires very specific gear

[native sail]

And when I say scaled down I mean they took the explosion base damage of like... 30 or some shit, and kicked it down to 2

[sinful laurel]

And sucker punch arrow is still bugged with jelkhors so I'm not playing it

[errant dawn]

awh , alright i'll mess with shadow daggers then

[harsh vault]

What's the best exp farm rn?

[native sail]

Monos. Always monos.

[sinful laurel]

SD is a great entry point into BD. It's piss easy to gear and does such easy damage in big chunks

[dense root]

shadow daggers is great

[native sail]

Sentinel buffs when?

I need them to give me more layered defenses on Sentinel so I can make the S L A M tanky

[harsh vault]

Monos seem so slow tho ngl

[native sail]

they are objectively the best place for exp though

[sinful laurel]

LE has the easiest and quickest path to level 100 for sure

Get some corruption and slam through them. You'll hit max pretty quick

It has like 7% exp to go
