[errant dawn]

i forget what its called, that shift dagger is it used for tankiness mostly or offense as well?

[opal palm]

how does one keep up maelstrom as a cold werebear? leveling, almost level 50..have 4 points in 'whirlpool' to increase duration but it's still short. having to transform and recast is a bummer

[sinful laurel]

Smoke weaver. Amazing for echoes and fast mapping. Less damage for bosses

[errant dawn]

i see ty

[pastel pebble]

YES

[teal sluice]

What's a strong necro build rn?
Haven't played in a long time

[brave ibex]

Flame Wraiths

[mystic ermine]

are characters crit chance and enemie's chance to be crit (crit vuln) multiplicative with each other?

[native sail]

Additive.

[winter folio]

is there a trick to crafting, I'm sitting on all the materials in the world but I can't find a base with good starting mods. At least never more than 1.
And then I'm not even talking about T6+

Is all the RNG really just frontloaded and I'm unlucky or is there something I can do about it.

[broken burrow]

Are you only using purple or have you considered yellow?

[winter folio]

I'm just talking yellow now

purple is an even worse nightmare.

[broken burrow]

hmm it's rough

but doable

[winter folio]

I'm starting to feel like the POE carfting system is almost kinder since at least I can do something to get more than 3 mods without destroying an item in the process lol

[broken burrow]

t6 means purple

keep that in mind

[sinful laurel]

Don't forget your glyphs of hope

[winter folio]

I know it means purple which is why I said I'm NOT even talking about t6+

[broken burrow]

i sent you a dm wolf

[faint cape]

To clear up some confusion here, yes. Not to be confused with "attributes" like strength, dex, etc., which minions actually cannot have or benefit from at all. Some unique item stats will not work, it's hit or miss and I don't know of any complete listing of which work; usually the simpler ones work and ones that trigger skills don't.

[faint cape]

You trigger it through Warcry's spec tree and using Roar

there's also that thing that gives you a chance to proc maelstrom on swipe use (in bear form spec tree), but that's not the main source

[faint cape]

I think this sounds like a filter issue, if you improve your filter, you'll be able to find what you're looking for much better

[stuck quartz]

do you have to open the chest to the right every time you complete an echo or can you let it stack up?

[winter folio]

it is not a filter issue. I just can't find the right base with more than 1 mod I need. It seems all the RNG is frontloaded so I'm stuck finding bases with 1 mod and removing the rest losing all my forging potential.

[dense root]

right away

[faint cape]

So you're telling me you see zero items dropping?
Do you mean actually using runes of removal? If so, that's also gimping you. You should use glyphs of chaos on unwanted mods; removals are primarily for salvaging crafting materials and occasionally for slamming on an amazing exalted item that has one bad T5 mod for a small chance to save it.

[winter folio]

I see plenty of items drop, just none of the bases I need and if they do not with the mods I need.

[acoustic thicket]

Oh cool, so scaling armor shred effect through chest/helmet affixes could be viable with MA. Right now I MA just dishing out damage but I could just use it as a support role for my swords ⚔️

[pastel pebble]

During the leveling stage rely on chaos to change mods. Removals for mods you really want to apply elsewhere to get their max shards

[acoustic thicket]

Guys, I don't understand what kind of crafting for which item at which level, should I craft at 40-50 level?

Is there a leveling craft address where I can learn in detail?

[faint cape]

So it's a filter issue, then. Make sure to hide things you don't want to see - bases you don't want, items with any T5 trash affixes, items that don't have at least 1 or 2 affixes you want, etc. Keep in mind that if these two affixes you want are both rare prefixes, you're going to have a really bad time finding an item in wild that already has both.

[faint cape]

You can use crafting at any point in the game, it is a very powerful tool and you get plenty of common crafting materials along the way

someone else may be able to link you a crafting tutorial video they like, I'm not super familiar with video things

[acoustic thicket]

I can't understand which item is worth crafting

[faint cape]

While leveling, the main question is - is it better than what you have on now, or could it be?

You'll get better at figuring out when items have the potential to be better the more you craft things. Don't worry about items not turning out right, throwing away items that don't work out is part of the process

[storm rivet]

Does added [element] damage add damage of that element to all skills, or only to skills with that tag?

[acoustic thicket]

I don't want to start monoliths with bad items

:d

It's also important to use gamble, isn't it?

[dense root]

not really

the gambler sucks

[faint cape]

All skills it's applicable to (so if it's melee fire damage it applies to all melee skills)

[acoustic thicket]

for early levelling?

[dense root]

i think so?

[faint cape]

Gambler is fine for early leveling if you get really unlucky with good weapon drops for a long time, and rerolling existing characters

[dense root]

i mean all my leveling these days is done with stuff from previous characters

but the gambler was whatever before and has been heavily nerfed since

[faint cape]

like if your weapon just gets reeeally outleveled, go buy a new one from the gambler and it'll speed things up

[minor horizon]

how do i unlock shield throw as a paladin?

[acoustic thicket]

but i don't have any other characters i'm just getting started

[dense root]

right i get that i was explaining why i was only mostly sure about answer

a lot of it is based on what i remember from the past

[acoustic thicket]

so the best method is to drop the item? nice items do not come out in the market?

drop and craft

[faint cape]

Same as always, put the required amount of points into the forge guard passive tree

I think it's 5?

[minor horizon]

ive tried that, but i cant spent my points there (yet?)

[faint cape]

You do need to select a mastery before you can put points into any mastery tree

and have 20 points in your base class

[minor horizon]

ah thats what im missing

i selected paladin but only have 15 points in my base class tree

[pastel pebble]

You need at least 20 in the base tree IIRC

[pearl elm]

my necromancer leveled 2 times without getting passive points, my druid leveled 1 time without getting passive points? is this a glitch?

[faint cape]

Ah yeah, they just recently moved up when you pick your mastery; we used to not get it until around level 25, so normally as soon as you get it, you (re)spec into it and unlock the 5 point skill

[faint cape]

Every level after 2 grants one passive point

[pearl elm]

muy necro went from level 74 to level 76 no passive point, my druid went from level 83 to 84 no passive point

[sinful laurel]

That would be the first time I have ever heard of that happening

If true, def make a bug report

[pearl elm]

it is true, how do I make a bug report?

[sinful laurel]

!bug

[ripe brook]

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

[pearl elm]

watch your level ups carefully, also

[sinful laurel]

Provide as much as evidence as possible

[pearl elm]

will do 🙂 thank you

[faint cape]

How many passive points do you have on them? And how many passives from quests? It's really easy to verify that you have the number of points your should have

[scenic brook]

hello, do weaver items level up in inventory or do they have to be equipped ,

[faint cape]

Equipped only

[scenic brook]

If I want to do somewhat of a full respec... And I remove the nodes giving me acces to say : reaper form. I'm guessing I'll also lose all progress in this skill ?

[faint cape]

No, you keep your skill specs even if you lose access to actually using the skill (note that in this specific case though, there is no way to lose access to reaper form, since it's the mastery skill)

EQ bear actually uses that as part of its build usually; unlocks EQ by putting 15 points in shaman, speccing into it, and then unspeccing all the points from shaman lol

[scenic brook]

Oh good ! This is my very fist char, currently doing lvl 77 maps, but I feel like I put too many random points in different damage types

(namely physical and necro, I'm traying to make some kind of dot build based on bleed)

[faint cape]

Yeah, no worries! Respeccing is really forgiving in this game, only thing you can't respec is your mastery class selection

[scenic brook]

Also, is it me, or do certain nodes on the passive character tree scale with the number of points allocated ? (I mean, do they give something like +5, +12 +16, or is it really +5, +10 , +15)

I have no clue if there is a real incentive into maxing a passive skill

[sinful laurel]

All depends on the node

And the build

One person's one point wonder skill may be another person's smax skill

[scenic brook]

Also, do affixes ranges and tiers depend on item base level ?

[sinful laurel]

Nope

[scenic brook]

So a T5 life will give the same amount on ilvl50 boots or ilvl70 boots

[drowsy hornet]

what is better for forged guard minion build - stacking attunement or stacking +minion damage

[patent summit]

Afaik all nodes in passives are linear scaling, none give more for one point than another.

[sinful laurel]

Correct

[sinful laurel]

Both, depending on your current gear and setup

[faint cape]

Right, technically there is no ilvl in this game, just a minimum level req for specific item bases

and level of the zone it drops in does influence what it has on it when it drops, but that's all

[faint cape]

Probably both

[pearl elm]

true, but I was putting points in per level and I leveled from 74 to 75 on necromancer/ clicked to place point in and it said no points, then from 75 to 76 repeated then my druid from 85 to 86 had no new passive point and I had despecced a passive of 2 points only getting one back I felt I may have miss clicked, but this is further verifying I should not play this game until this is resolved, I am also aware when they can see my passive points missing it will make it easier to be resolved,

[patent summit]

Are the Bone Pyres (the fire version of bone piles that spawn skeletons) supposed to be absurdly tanky or do they have innate fire resist? It takes me longer to kill them than an echo boss or a patrolling elite.

[sinful laurel]

Those things are generally pretty tanky yeah.

I wouldn't be surprised if those ones had some fire res

[faint cape]

There are some passives that have a "threshold" bonus (bonus for X points specced) and some that have a baseline bonus (does not scale with points), but these are both clearly stated in the description when they exist

[faint cape]

How many points do you have, though?

[patent summit]

I wonder if some characters might have "extra" passive points from completing quests that used to reward points but no longer do and levelling with no points is the solution to fix that?

[acoustic root]

Hi folks. I played a small amount of LE a long while ago and just reinstalled it now. I see I have the option to play online and offline, and I have a couple of old offline characters and no online characters. I'm thinking of just starting a new character but I'm wondering what advantages there are to online vs offline?

[pearl elm]

necromancer, I got all passives from quests/ at level 76 I have: 66 necromancer/ 20 Acolyte so 86 in total/

[acoustic root]

I presume the main difference is online is for playing with other players, and league tables?

[faint cape]

So if you do indeed have 15/15 passive points from quests and no unspent points, you're missing 3

[sinful laurel]

Just to double check, is it possible it's just visual? Like, can you click and add a point to a passive even though it says 0 points available? (Reminiscent of the plus to skills item bug)

[dense root]

online has multiplayer yeah

also cosmetics only work online right now

[faint cape]

Yes, that is the main thing. Trading is also a planned feature, and you will need to be online for that as well.

[pearl elm]

so I may have not noticed one from leveling or quest then? thank you

[faint cape]

press M and look in the bottom-left to see your passives from quests

[acoustic root]

How is online compared to offline (I mean in terms of performance, rubber-banding, etc)? Is online in a good place?

[faint cape]

if it says 12/15 you actually have the correct amount of points, but if it says anything else then something is off

[sinful laurel]

Varies user to user

And region to region

[dense root]

i've had good online experiences but some other people have complained so idk

[pearl elm]

thanks will do, heading out, but will re vamp quests to make sure they all counted so I know for sure I am missing them

[acoustic root]

Ok, as I'm just interested in a bit of casual solo fun for now I guess I'll play offline, and I can always switch to online later if the game gets its hooks into me.

[frosty beacon]

if we take Frostwyrm’s node in Serpent Strike, does Poison Tip node, and Boa Constructor nodes work on Frostbite instead of poison? it kinda looks like it when beating on the arena dummy, but i was curious if I am mistaken

[faint cape]

No, serpent strike's conversion doesn't affect any poison-related stuff at all

[frosty beacon]

strange, cause its kinda looks like it does but maybe there is something im missing. thanks for clarifying.

[faint cape]

also, if you are talking about Constrictor, it applies to all damage dealt by serpent strike, including frostbite, poison, etc.

and since you'll still apply poison like normal, Poison Tipped will still work for you after the conversion

[frosty beacon]

if i hit the dummy with 5 pts in Poison tipped and 1 in Frostwyrms I cant seem to poison the dummy at all. Also, if i put 3pts in Mussarana it seems like im adding more frostbite on average with that initial boa constrictor hit, but again, never applying posion to dummy

[rich citrus]

Weight of the Abyss Lagon's blessing
(freeze multy)

does it affect minions(acolyte) ❔

[charred finch]

does aoe count as a hit for every enemy it hits?

[faint cape]

Are you in swarmblade form?

[frosty beacon]

yeah,

[faint cape]

Only minion stats affect minions

[faint cape]

Do you take the swarmblade form cold conversion? If so, that converts all your poison to frostbite

[dense lynx]

For the new weaver gear so I just play with the item and it begins to grow more attributes?

[faint cape]

Yes

[sinful laurel]

Yes

[faint cape]

Yes, must be equipped

[frosty beacon]

i did, i took Frost Bites node, that makes sense, thanks for pointing that out

[acoustic root]

New player. Not sure if its just my computer, but when I fire my bow, the arrows do not go through the mouse cursor. The aiming seems to be offset from the mouse cursor by a fair bit in fact. Is that intentional?

[sinful laurel]

Hmmm. That's a new one to me. Can you just try quitting, verifying integrity of game files, restarting and trying again?

[dense lynx]

Okay thanks!

[acoustic root]

Seems to be okay when actually aimed at enemy, just seems to miss the cursor when firing when there is no enemy. Weird.

[dense lynx]

Thank you!

[sinful laurel]

What skill?

[faint cape]

I think there's a little variation, and will be offset by your character's height, but should 'snap' autotarget an enemy near your cursor

[acoustic root]

Flurry. It's a new character.

It seems to snap to target when there is a target, so I think it's just when I was practice firing at nothing.

[sinful laurel]

Father toast is correct,especially if you are trying to manually aim at an enemy off to your side it can be hard but it should snap target

[potent rapids]

Is there a workaround for disabling chat not saving? Like a settings file somewhere I can edit manually or something?

[lost folio]

can shift give me dusk shroud from veil of the night?

[sinful laurel]

With unseen strike yes

[errant dawn]

hm im leveling gaining talentpoints and then theyre gone?

[minor horizon]

do i get any benefits when using shield throw with a shield or can i just go without?

[faint cape]

I think there are some things in the spec tree that benefit from having a shield, but it's not really required

[slate snow]

double T6, is this a bug or just rare?

[dense root]

just rare

you can theoretically get 4 exalted affixes even

it just won't happen

[slate snow]

damn

[sinful laurel]

See three exalts on Twitter sometimes

[frozen scarab]

ive finished the campaign and im being told to talk to forgotten knight

i do so, but its no quest dialog, idk what to do from here,

i beat majsa and am lvl 58

[sinful laurel]

Start monolith

[frozen scarab]

how

[sinful laurel]

Walk to the right

The path will assemble and you can start fall of the outcasts timeline

Welcome to endgame 🙂

[frozen scarab]

ooo

so ive been seeing these dungeons or smthing which you need keys for

how do i get to them

[sinful laurel]

They can drop from any enemy but timeline bosses have a much higher chance to drop them

As you complete monolith timelines you will start to see them drop

[errant dawn]

ok i now remember what squishy feels like, my apathy maw vk in early empowered monos

actually have nothing but armor and leech

[sinful laurel]

Sounds like vk lol

[errant dawn]

already played wp dw in multiplayer too but i wanted to make use of this +15 crit maw but this is kinda rough

maybe its time for some bd adventures

[sinful laurel]

Why not try rive? I think 2h void rive is quite strong

[errant dawn]

yeah i saw that ignite stack version, i love rive and all but didnt like it as much without stacking aoe idols

[sinful laurel]

Fair

[errant dawn]

think im kinda sentinel'd out too lmao

2h just feels rough without some good gear or dr pieces

[sinful laurel]

My warpath vk was super tanky lol, just did no damagr

[errant dawn]

yeah im sure i can get it there maybe come back to it another time hes just in the early 80s

[weary imp]

Hey guys, where cna i find infos about Fire Aura ? Like Area/dmg etc ?

[sinful laurel]

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

[weary imp]

there's nothg in game ? Btw thx for the link

[sinful laurel]

Press G in game, the game guide is actually pretty decent overall

[weary imp]

Have checked this, np look like i cant build around this

[sinful laurel]

People have tried. It's very hard to make a build JUST around fire aura

Righteous fire from poe isn't really a thing here

[balmy current]

Yeah, DW Blade of the Forgotten Knight (flat spell void damage) & a Dark Shroud of Cinders (% increased void damage per Fire Aura) is probably about the best you can get. But you can get up to ~20 odd stacks at a time (I think, last we tried).

[frigid chasm]

guys any way to stop the game from randomly changeing region?

[sinful laurel]

Even then that was pretty underwhelming right?

[lilac estuary]

Can I not use transmog in solo?

[sinful laurel]

I think I remember seeing it

[sinful laurel]

There aren't transmogs

You mean cosmetics?

[lilac estuary]

ye

[balmy current]

It was ok.

[lilac estuary]

Brain go brrr

[sinful laurel]

Only for online chars atm

[balmy current]

But the swords are pretty rare.

[sinful laurel]

Sucks using two set weapons to have it just be ok

[balmy current]

2 rare set weapons.

[sinful laurel]

Right

[balmy current]

So good luck getting them

[sinful laurel]

I think I have found one since reset

[lilac estuary]

Time to suffer slower load times to look cool

[balmy current]

Though the Lament of the Lost Refuge adds void damage per stack of Corrupted Heraldry. Though that would cap out at +60 void spell damage.

[sinful laurel]

Easy fix. Don't have fire aura have 70% DMG effectiveness. Wtf.

[ruby inlet]

Hey everyonl, should I make individual posts for visual bugs I find, or should I keep updating an organized long post?

Such as this one:
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/visual-errors-in-models-level-weapons-map-bugs-mismatches-and-other/59144

Also does anyone know where I can learn how to use the forum's text box properly, I found some tricks like = and --- and separating texts for making back and forths but Its pretty rought still xd

[dense root]

i imagine they want separate posts but i'd ask in the dev channel

[ruby inlet]

Ok, I will

[sterile widget]

The forum is based on Discourse

https://www.discourse.org/

[ruby inlet]

Thanks! i couldn't find this . I'll check how it works. Think grim dawn had the same

[sudden notch]

has anyone tried this with melee channeling skills

does it work with channelling

[sinful laurel]

Likely not. Usually bonuses like that only apply on the initial cast that starts the channel

[desert tree]

i tried with a fire warpath

[sudden notch]

thats the one i was curious babout

[desert tree]

you get 1 tick every 2 sec that does "big" dmg

[sudden notch]

got it

makes sense

[desert tree]

I think void cleave is the only skill for it

you can have both void and fire tags

[sudden notch]

how do u have both

do u mean either

[sudden notch]

oh shit didnt see that

[desert tree]

base tag is void, this node adds fire

now you need an lp one for some base crit

^^

GL

[sudden notch]

mmmmm. i play with my brother who plays Spriggan 🙂

[marsh maple]

woo

[sudden notch]

grats damn

[sinful laurel]

That's hot

[desert tree]

phys shuriken ?

[marsh maple]

shadow dagger

its for shadow dagger marksman

[desert tree]

@sudden notch speaking of the devil

[sudden notch]

does this work if with attacks that would bring something low health

[sudden notch]

LOL damn

[desert tree]

I am going to say no

[sudden notch]

good for bosses then i guess

[desert tree]

because when you deal dmg the target is not low health

that would be my guess

[hollow oriole]

Does fortress garden have a way point. I cant find it and i have the whole map discovered

[desert tree]

I think its "bugged" and there is not supposed to be

@sudden notch there is a french guy that made a 600 corruption VC guide on yt

if you want to check his planner

[sudden notch]

yea he uses that skill

and i dont understand why

[desert tree]

dont know if you speak french

[sudden notch]

and i dont understand french lol

[faint cape]

No, have to be on low health on the hit - just like the one full/high health enemies things

[desert tree]

which one ? the low health one ?

[sudden notch]

ya

must just be for bosses

[faint cape]

it might be an okay pick to help finish bosses, but I doubt it's worthwhile

especially since it only affects void, so its effectiveness is immediately halved for eclipse

[desert tree]

I think you want to go full crit

maybe ?

[faint cape]

most likely yeah, and if you want to use erasing strike that's just one point away

just for more bonk

[desert tree]

but once you consume both proccs from eternal eclipse you are left with 50 base melee dmg for your ER, not that great

[faint cape]

it's got some stuff of its own, plus your tree and the guaranteed crit, should probably be able to clear a pack on its own

but I haven't done a build on this one yet to know what will end up feeling best

[sudden notch]

ok so it consumes both proccs from ER at once

seems like it would smack

[faint cape]

yeah, it should hit pretty hard - idk how it compares to unarmed judgement, but that's probably its competition

[desert tree]

I would like to try unarmed judgement but not the one shot

something with more cdr and where your mana does not disappear straight away

haev you done that before ?

[faint cape]

I did it in the event where it worked on the aura, which was kinda fun - haven't done it live yet, since it does have a kinda lengthy recharge

having to use VR constantly just for mana management is horrible though lol

[flat grail]

What primalist skill is it that connects with Spirit thorns

[desert tree]

you can get maelstrom or entangling roots

[abstract flint]

I need help friends , cant seem to be able to connect to server with this new big patch. just keeps saying "lost connection to server" ive reinstalled , flushed dns . made sure my anti malware wasnt blocking idk what else to try

[amber void]

if i use 2 chronostasis, i only get the bonus melee atk from consuming ward once or twice?

[sinful laurel]

Once. Details of that mechanic are listed on the weapon

[amber void]

i forgot that alt + ctrl was a thing 😭

[long peak]

is it just me or reaper degen accelarates over time?

[amber void]

the health decay increase overtime

[low hull]

yall im sure this has been asked a bunch but when I make a new character is there other paths to leveling?

[desert tree]

you can skip some portions of he story with dongeons

[dense root]

you can skip parts of the campaign by doing dungeons on characters after your first

you will need to do like half the campaign or something no matter what though

[low hull]

interesting ill look into that thank you : )

[wheat saddle]

playing wtih ps5 controller atm and i cant interact with this door at all

[flat swan]

Doesn't let you just walk through it?

[wheat saddle]

nope

[alpine token]

so Death Seal says it removes ward and caps health but it doesn't say anything about preventing ward gain after activating it. So, can you gain ward after hitting Death Seal?

[fresh aspen]

no[pe

u cant

[alpine token]

Huh. Good to know. Hopefully they make that more clear in the skill description at some point.

[fresh aspen]

it says remove all ward and seal your health and prevent it from going above its current value is pretty clear

[alpine token]

ward and health aren't the same thing

[fresh aspen]

Prevents it from going above its value

and it removes ALL ward

value refers to both ward and health value

[alpine token]

"it" is singular, not plural. Therefore it would logically be referring only to the most recent thing mentioned, health. It also specifically says "seal your health"

[fresh aspen]

If it is only referring to one person or thing, it is a singular noun. If it is referring to more than one person or thing, it is a plural noun.

[alpine token]

If it prevents ward gain then a more accurate description would say something like "Toggle to remove all ward. Your health and ward are then sealed, preventing them from going above their current value for 5 seconds." OR adding "No ward can be gained while health is sealed."

other results say the same thing. It is used to substitute for singular nouns, whereas they is used to substitute for plural. Just like its vs their.
So the Death Seal description is grammatically inaccurate given that it uses a singular substitute when referring to 2 values.

[fresh aspen]

hmmmmm i agreege

[alpine token]

You can't just be presented evidence and agree. This is the internet. You HAD to have just broken something integral to discord as a whole.

Anyways thank you for the clarification on how the skill functions

[fresh aspen]

lmfao

i had a hard thought on it and i actually agree with what u said

anyways if you have more questions about lich, i can probably answer them. Not about grammar or the english language though

@alpine token

[north lodge]

using mourning frost boots with shadow daggers, since they have both "Melee" and "Throwing" tags, if i had 50 dex, would that add 50 flat cold to the dagger damage proc? or 100? (Does it double dip since it counts as both melee and throwing, or only 1 source so only 1 benefit?)

[desert tree]

100

it double dip

[desert tree]

You can make a set of low lvl unique with lp and add some affixes on them to help you progress faster

like this one

lvl1 2h mace with t6 fire dmg

[opaque hull]

anyone knows wat weaver wills is got it on a unigue i just received?

[desert tree]

when you kill monster it will consume WW and grant you affixes

like a legendary item but you dont have to craft it

you kill monsters for it instead

[opaque hull]

ok thx

[lime nebula]

hey guys im in liliths tower at the moment for a side quest and when ever i try get to the next floor is always send me back so im kinda stuck anyone know how to get past it

I'm very much stuck

[quasi hatch]

I had to go all the way back down and leave and reenter the tower to fix it

[hazy cape]

Hey everyone, I've scoured the forums and this discord for this question and haven't found an answer: Does flat spell dmg count towards fulminating claw? I'm thinking staff vs wand here.

[native sail]

It does not. Only increases.

[hazy cape]

increases can apply to anything tho, not neccessarily "increases" as in non-multiply dmg

[native sail]

This game is very picky about its wording. When it says increases it specifically means things using the word "increased"

[hazy cape]

so then flat +spell lightning passive nodes wont work either

ty

does Rage count as mana when in spriggan form?

[faint cape]

Rage is mana, but orange

[hazy cape]

apparently the game is specific with its wording, I'm wondering if anyone has tried the combo

[native sail]

Not a clue on that, you'd have to report back on it. I'm unsure because I know some uniques that have interactions with mana don't function with rage

[hazy cape]

exactly why I'm asking. I'll test it out today and report back

cuz spriggan form can make vines give back near infinite rage, it would be a strong combo

[native sail]

Never hurts to try something that's unclear

[errant dawn]

is the chat just permanently broken again?

[faint cape]

The only mana consumption effects that don't apply to rage explicitly say they don't, but yeah bugs exist and you can always test

[muted gust]

Hey, do ailments scale with damage over time even if a pet inflicts them, or does it have to be you inflicting them yourself?

[desert tree]

by yourself

but i think you can find dot minion dmg, maybe ? I dont really play minions I am sure

[muted gust]

ah yeah there's a damage over time for minions suffix, cool

I was gonna try and see if i could make a beastmaster with 4 different pets scaling bleeds/poisons work, might be a dumb idea lol

[desert tree]

I would say generally you want to focus on 1 type of dmg i e bleed or poison

[hazy cape]

Ailments scale with dmg over time, but only when applied by you. However, your main stat (attunement, str, etc) that scales with the skill applying it will apply to everything including ailments, pets, and pet ailments. However however, your pet's ailment dmg is separate from yours, so they'll deal less dmg unless you have minion dmg as well

[hazy cape]

thats total viable, you'd be going for minion dmg (applies to all), strenght (applies to all)

minion bleed is specific, but why not

[muted gust]

ah right, yeah I was trying to figure out if "% inc minion damage" would work, I think that gives enough affixes to work with haha

on a related note, do bear's bleed chance nodes work with thorn bear so they apply both bleed and poison? Part of the reason I was looking at both is cause I dunno if there's even enough nodes on the bear tree to just do bleed

[hazy cape]

yes, bleed chance will apply to anything on-hit

[faint cape]

If it just says "hits" then it'll apply to all the bear's hits, if it says "melee hits", then no

[hazy cape]

swords, axes, and spears have a minion dmg over time affix you'll want

[hazy cape]

To my above post, Power Claw indeed uses Rage as Mana. This will allow even a beastmaster to use spriggan vines to generate rage infinitely (as long as you have targets to hit)

[native sail]

May I point you to Tears of The Forest and Eterra's Path?

[hazy cape]

mmmm i have a tears, that would work splendidly

i realize tho that i sacrifice the ability to cast crowstorm by being in spriggan

but its probably not comparable to the dmg on power claw

ty

[proud bridge]

why is the server keep disconnecting me mid fighting?

sudden connection loss issue but my internet work fine outside of game

anyone else experiancing this other thn me?

[fleet dirge]

Not that exactly but am experiencing lag and longer load times

[dense root]

i'm not getting any lag (aside from the known weaver's will bug) but my load times are definitely worse than they used to be

[faint cape]

May not be helpful to your build, but as a druid you can spam companion abilities in swarmblade or bear form

[muted gust]

One more question related to minion DoT, the Boar Heart node on Beastmaster doesn't have any description, but it has the same wording on the skill effect as Viper Fangs ("Aspect of the ___ chance on hit"). Does this mean it has the same mechanics and applies the buff to your minions too?

Also sorry for spamming with dumb questions, I don't have a BM toon to go and test this stuff on myself haha

[desert tree]

can you post the node ?

[muted gust]

doesn't say anything about companions but there's no description at all, and the viper fangs node which has the same wording only mentions companions in the description too 😕

maybe I just need to roll this toon and note it down to test later, gonna hurt losing that node and all the related bleed ones if it doesn't though lol

[fleet dirge]

that the description you are looking for?

says nothing about minions getting the buff. Just you

[muted gust]

Nah that's the other node, there's two with the same name (just realised)

[fleet dirge]

ah gotcha

[muted gust]

might be why the description has glitched out haha, were these updated recently/

[desert tree]

If it does not says your minions can have aspect of the boar, they can not

[desert tree]

aspect of the viper is also given to your companions but boar can not

[muted gust]

lame 😦

[desert tree]

they already have an innate 50% less dmg taken

[muted gust]

yeah there's 16 points of bleed nodes related to aspect of the boar though that would be nice for damage

it's kind of weird that the other 3 aspects all have ways to apply to companions but not boar

[proud bridge]

boi this is pissing me off

2 time now the server dc me mid fight

tf is wrong with SE asian server ??!!

[desert tree]

@sterile bane moving it here to not clutter dev channel

you can start fresh every new cycles

but you can keep your previous characters in "standard" and experience the same content

[native sail]

You'll have to start fresh every cycle if you're concerned about the economy and if you care about leaderboards

[sterile bane]

i thought it would be a dev thing because i havent heard them talk about cycles yet, but its because i check in every now and then

what do you mean concerned with the economy?

[native sail]

Trade economy.

If you want to avoid consistent inflating prices over time you'll want to be playing the cycles. If you don't care about it then it doesn't really matter.

[sterile bane]

but how does starting a new character prevent that, thats something i dont get with arpgs. i played poe for a little bit but didnt bother after hearing bout wipes and standard

[native sail]

Because cycle and standard are separated

[sterile bane]

so playing a new character in cycle allows you to use the new content at a lower price since in standard it will be inflated since theres less new people there?

[native sail]

They'll have the same content in LE, yes, but standard and cycle won't have the same trade listings/market and won't be able to party together

[sterile bane]

well new items i mean

[native sail]

Pretty much, yes

[sterile bane]

i kind of get it

so just to say it again, youl be able to try new items probably quicker in cycle but you can still play standard and experience the new content at the same time

[native sail]

A common thing as well is the "S tier" rare items end up having inflated prices the longer it goes on because the value of gold lessens as time continues and more is accrued overall

[native sail]

Yup. There won't be any separation of available items or playable content.

[sterile bane]

ok that makes me more happy. definitely a reason to continue playing the game

yea POE isnt like that at all

[native sail]

PoE does have some exclusive stuff each league yeah. Personally, I don't have an issue with it, otherwise I wouldn't have ~7,000 hours.

[sterile bane]

yea i hate resets. i never liked WoW but i played marvel heroes for years and i wish i can have a game like that again

[muted gust]

Hey, you can only have 5 skills on your bars right? Or is there a way to add a 6th?

[native sail]

Nope, only 5

[muted gust]

Damn, is there a way to have 5 skills and also auto attack? Like can you change the lmb to attack or something lol

[sterile bane]

thanks for the talk @native sail

[native sail]

No problem. Always happy to help when I can.

[fresh aspen]

Why do you wanna ever use ur auto attack

[native sail]

I mean, you can do that. Or at least, should be able to. But it's actually worthless.

[muted gust]

Cause I wanna take 4 companions and frenzy totem and still have a way to proc aspect of the viper haha

All the primalist skills suck, I wish they didn't tie the class so tightly into melee, would be great to have a bow skill or spell other than ice thorns

[native sail]

Can you even have 4 companions?

[low wren]

Is there any way to get into the Ransacked Camp echo? A work around of some kind? It just gets stuck on a loading screen

[native sail]

Upheaval

[muted gust]

yeah, 2 base, 1 from BM specialisation, and 1 from the BM tree

[native sail]

Ah. Fair enough. Not sure I recommend having 4 different companions though, spreading yourself pretty thin there.

[brave ibex]

Plenty of good Primalist spell builds

[muted gust]

What does upheaval even give if I'm going minion DoT though? Can't use the armour shred, I guess frailty and slow?

[low wren]

No one knows how to help me get into this first echo?

[native sail]

You can use it to proc aspects at least?

[muted gust]

Hency why I wanted to take auto attack instead and get an extra skill slot, if that's all it's doing 🤔

[brave ibex]

Have you tried verifying files on Steam?

[native sail]

Upheaval has range to it, auto attack doesn't

Plus Upheaval enables leech that auto attack won't

[low wren]

Yes I did, I saw it was a work around on the forums

[brave ibex]

Maybe try playing on another server?

[low wren]

I play solo

and offline

so another server is not an option 😭

[brave ibex]

Oh damn, I haven't heard of that kind of error happening offline

[low wren]

so if I cant complete that echo, does that mean I am stuck? Can I grind stability to the end of the stability bar and do the boss?

[brave ibex]

Remind me which timeline Ransacked Camp is in?

[low wren]

the very first one

[brave ibex]

Ah, yeah, you're very much stuck then

[low wren]

wow fun

thanks for answering

[pastel pebble]

Auto Attack meta is coming

[clever oak]

guys, can we link items in chat yet?

[patent summit]

If you have a skill that does split elemental damage, how does flat adaptive interact with that? Does it get split appropriately?

[brave ibex]

Yeah it gets split between the damage types

[patent summit]

Ty

[worthy drum]

Question: How is Added Spell Damage for Swords different from Added Spell Damage? Does it just affect Melee skills?

[dense root]

melee skills aren’t spell so no

are you talking about the spell damage mod that 1h swords can roll?

[worthy drum]

Yeah, that one

[dense root]

if i remember correctly it’s the same just on swords

it will add the damage to any skills with the spell tag

[worthy drum]

So if it's just another way of saying Added Spell Damage, it would work for things like Fire Aura?

[desert tree]

yes

[broken burrow]

yes

[desert tree]

Its a way of getting flat spell for a spellblade or a paladin

[dense root]

i don’t know off the top of my head how fire aura specifically works but i would imagine yes

[worthy drum]

Perfect. Thanks!

[thin tinsel]

can somone enlighten me how the following node of arcane ascendance works exactly

is it only the inital 25 mana or the 1 additional nana pro second that gets reduced?

[broken burrow]

it drains less than 1 mana per second

[thin tinsel]

duh^^

[sinful laurel]

It drains 30% less mana for each tick it drains. Arcane ascendance drain accelerates pretty quickly, this lessens that by 30%

[patent summit]

Is there some sort of character select issue? Every time I boot the game, no matter which character I actually select it logs me on to the top character first.

Second time it's fine, just kinda weird.

[thin tinsel]

so it does affect the increasing mana cost, alright thx then its definitley nice for my build!

[quick thistle]

im in early game and desperate need of runes of shattering, how to get a lot of them?

[dense root]

tbh you don’t

they’re not an early game item for the most part

[quick thistle]

you dont buy em?

[carmine coyote]

If are doing monoliths, the npc after each mono sells them

They spawn 2-4 in a span of like 1 hour (idk the exact time)

[dense root]

you can buy them but they cost 2k gold each

which is a decent amount in the first couple of acts

[dim raven]

the blessings from the different monoliths are specific to that monolith or are they cumulative to all?

[sudden notch]

cant find anyone whos made an ice vortex build. does that subskill just suck

[dense root]

each monolith has different blessings but the bonuses apply everywhere

[desert tree]

what skill is that from ?

[dim raven]

perfect, so with that, i have another question. I have a blessing that gives Lightning Resistance, it is not visible on the Character Resistances ?

[dense root]

it should be visible

did you get the lightning resistance shred blessing maybe?

[sinful laurel]

Glacier I assume?

[austere gulch]

Anyone know why I don't have a monolith quest for the Fall of Empires monolith

[dense root]

weird. if you’re sure it’s not showing up on the character sheet i’d submit a bug report

[dim raven]

I will double check my gear resists first and if it's the case i will thanks!

[austere gulch]

NVM I guess there is none for that monolith

I checked my level 100 and it doesnt have it either

[sudden notch]

its a glacier subskill

the problem is i think subskills dont benefit from + damage nodes from the skill tree

[desert tree]

they should

i am pretty sure i asked mike once about inc dmg to hammer throw benefiting disintegrating aura subskill and he said yes

[sudden notch]

im so confused about all that shit.

sometimes subskills are or arent affected by modifiers for the parent skill

you have to test every single interaction out

[sinful laurel]

Subskills are kinda weird and each one is different but iirc ice vortex is increased by global damage increases in glacier

However I still don't know if Ice vortex is viable to make an entire build around

[sudden notch]

i was thinking of stackign cast speed and playing with the 80% mana reduction node

[sinful laurel]

Look at the skill itself. It's not a hit, deals 4 base dot DMG and has 20% DMG effectiveness. That's...abysmal

[sudden notch]

ffs 4 base dot dmg

whats the point of skill like that

thanks for pointing that out

[sinful laurel]

For reference. Frostbite has a base damage of 36

Yeah. They are just a nice bit of chip damage honestly

The rime buff is the main reason to go down that line

For FB builds

[sudden notch]

i see thanks prime

well i was gonna play iwth greater ice vortex

but that also has only 10 base dmg and 50% dmg effectiveness

[sinful laurel]

Still pretty oof. That 50% dmg eff hurts

You can theoretically stack quite a few but even then. They are stationary

[quick thistle]

how to get the black islands? clear blood, frost and death again?

[sinful laurel]

Don't worry about it yet. Get to empowered monos and they all open up and you can travel freely

[desert tree]

I would recommend you do again fall of the out cast and pick "bla bla bla the future" after killing the abom

that open the right side of the map

and thoses timelines (black sun, ending the storm) have combat stats

[sinful laurel]

Btw Vlad can you post more pics of Michelin starred desserts? As a lower level ex-professional pastry chef My gf wants to see more

[carmine coyote]

Ex? You never go ex when you have been in the industry

[winter folio]

There is no easy way to export your build into a planner right now is there.

[carmine coyote]

Nah, literally have to make the items yourself

[sinful laurel]

She almost worked herself to death working a a pastry chef for as long as she did. Definitely good she is an ex-pastry chef now

[carmine coyote]

Yeah, been there, done that

[sinful laurel]

Ditto. Doing it right now actually 🙂

[carmine coyote]

4 years sous chef and 2 years as head chef gave me cancer

[sinful laurel]

Oooof. Yeah...that's a rough life

[carmine coyote]

But theres no ex, she will always strive for the same quality

Gfs still astonished how I take 2 hours for a simple meal

[sinful laurel]

Oh in that sense absolutely true. I've seen her make kouign-amann... 80 hours later

[surreal gazelle]

if i convert the scorpion into another element will the baby scorpions convert too?

[meager crystal]

Is there a way to disable chat? It keeps appearing when entering a new zone

[spiral grove]

So when i changed my resolution to try and fit the whole map(1600x1050) and when i did change the resolution and changed it back, i started experince frame rrate loss and lag? now i cnat figure out what to do and the game is basically unplayable? should i sumbit a support ticket?

[spiral grove]

there is a cog in the top right of the chat window, click that it will open chat options and you can choose disable chat, i have noticed it does screw up some

[surreal gazelle]

you could try to go there and delete the le_graphicsmanager.ini
C:\Users\YOUR NAME\AppData\LocalLow\Eleventh Hour Games\Last Epoch

[spiral grove]

i havent been able to find that file

[surreal gazelle]

then it is invisible. google on how to make hidden files and folder visible for your operation system

[spiral grove]

ok thank you, should i do this before i sumbit a ticket?

[surreal gazelle]

yes

[spiral grove]

ok perfect thank you

[surreal gazelle]

np

[spiral grove]

found the file going to delete now

[surreal gazelle]

also you could try to verify the games files with steam

[spiral grove]

googling that now

[surreal gazelle]

hm weird. then i would just verify the game files with hsteam and if that dont help you can submit a ticket.

[spiral grove]

ok perfect, appreciate your time bud

[spiral grove]

so verifying the files helped, i found that le_graphicsmanager file, deleted, game runs better getting higher fps again, but when i go int omobs on Medium setting my fps drops to like 15 from 60+ but when i go to low its fine. I use to play on very high.

[surreal gazelle]

what gpu do you have?

and do you have the latest drivers installed?

[spiral grove]

gpu is slightly outdated. but gtx 1060i and yeah just installed drivers last night, i can see if new ones dropped

[surreal gazelle]

i had a 1080 and could play the game on 1080p on max settings.
the 1060 is way weaker than the 1080 especially if you have the 3 gig model and not the 6 gig

on what resolution are you playing?

[spiral grove]

wait

i cant remember if its a 1060 or 1080 now

it is the to60 6gb

1060

cureently im on 1680x1050

[surreal gazelle]

ok. did you play the game on very high settings before or after the patch?

[spiral grove]

before patch,

im assuming they changed graphic requierments?

[surreal gazelle]

i dont think so. they ahcnge chapter 1 and some other areas but most of the areas are the same so it should not make a hughe difference and since you get a heavy frame drop when engaging a mob groud makes it sound that the graphic is not the problem

do you have anything else running in the background besides the game steam and discord?

[spiral grove]

chrome

fuck i really should just bite the bullet and upgrade my card eh?

[surreal gazelle]

if the problem is your cpu or your ram or even softwar related it doesnt matter what gpu you have

you said you could play on very high and now you have drops on even mdeium and low

i does not sound normal

what cpu do you have?

and how much ram? also chrome sucks a lot of ram so closing it could help depending on how much ram you have

[surreal gazelle]

okay that should not be a problem

i played the game on an i7 7700 non K with my 1080 in the past without problems.

[sterile widget]

Anecdotally, a few people on the forums have also reported that performance seems more sluggish in 0.9.1 than in 0.9

[surreal gazelle]

do you have the game on full screen or borderless windows or normal windowed mode?

[spiral grove]

boradless window

[surreal gazelle]

try normal full screen

but i dont think that will help. but i experienced something like this with some other games in the past. so it may help

[sterile widget]

Full screen can definitely help vs borderless. But if you have more than one monitor, full screen can cause other issues

[spiral grove]

trying fullscreen on medium now

[surreal gazelle]

you could still submit a ticket and maybe the devs are able to help you. i am out of ideas. it seems strange to me that you now have to play on low and get such a high frame drop when enganging a mob group there is something wrong but i cant tell what.

[spiral grove]

full screen put me at 1fps to 35 fps

[surreal gazelle]

okay wait 1 min afk then i message you via PM okay?

[spiral grove]

ok bet sounds good

yeah theres something deff wrong, swtiched back to bordeless window at low and now im only hitting 40fps when i was hitting 60

[winter tinsel]

I just had all UI elements disappear on me except the minimap which is completely black. Did I hit some hotkey to hide UI or did I run across a bug to report? lol (relatively certain the latter, but figured I'd ask before submitting a report)

[sterile widget]

Press delete key.

That will show and hide the UI

[winter tinsel]

thanks

[spiral grove]

after talking to elder gaspar do i take the portal to the imperial era? what am i spose to do? i dont get a quest or anything

[patent summit]

Are you in End of Time after killing Pannion or at the end of the temple of Eterra?

[faint cape]

Yeah, take the portal he opens

[spiral grove]

i cant remember what end of time im at, im only level 71

[tired helm]

Does the Fortress Gardens waypoint just not exist? Fully mapped the zone and I didn't find any waypoints at all in here

[patent summit]

Level...71?

[spiral grove]

yeah?

[patent summit]

I am confused where you're at then because you must have done at least some of the campaign.

[spiral grove]

ive done all of the campaign i thought? ijust cant remember who ive killed

bad memory

[patent summit]

Why are you talking to Gaspar then?

[spiral grove]

because he had a thought bubble over his head and i just talked to him

or a speech buble

and then he says shit opens a portal and tells me to take it

[patent summit]

That's just because has dialogue, probably related to mastery

[spiral grove]

hmm ok ill just keep doing monos then

[patent summit]

That's older dialogue from act 4 of the campaign. You appear to be done the story.

[spiral grove]

yeah i thought so i just wasnt sure

thank yopu

[amber void]

it's possible to get hand catalyst from the soul gambler? i completed the dungeon like 12 times (one time in T1, 2 in T2 and the rest in T3), and i haven't seen any

[jovial sinew]

guys im sure this was answered before but for the 1.0 is there going to be a roll back?? or no??

[native sail]

No

Our current stuff will go to the standard league equivalent

[jovial sinew]

oooh ok ok

[faint cape]

Yeah, they are just pretty rare unless the tier has "+X catalysts" for its daily bonus

[amber void]

does the bonus apply to offline?

[faint cape]

Yes, unless something changed when they released online mode

Dammitt recently added a really nice overview for the daily dungeon things, too https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/dungeons

[polar holly]

can i bind WASD as movement keys instead of moving with mouse?

[native sail]

Nope

[abstract aspen]

is this also converted to fire if i take the node for fire conversion or nah

[native sail]

To my knowledge the rule is sub skills are not converted unless specified

[abstract aspen]

ty

[faint cape]

imo the rule for subskill conversion is so inconsistent, the best thing to do is just try it and see if the visuals change

[small sierra]

anyone got any build for vk warhaven

[native patio]

anyone else having this issue? one of my skills cannot be clicked, no tool top, and it is reversed

[native sail]

Known bug

[native patio]

no work around?

[native sail]

Don't believe so

[sterile widget]

Apparently you can select it with a Controller

[amber void]

the sou gambler exclusive items are avalaible in all tiers?, if they do, does the lvl of the tier influence if the item have LP?

[native sail]

Yes and yes.

[polar holly]

do i have to redo the monolith on every new character?

[near path]

Yep

Each char has its own Monolith progression

[sick rampart]

how does less damage taken on block interacts with block effectiveness?

[minor horizon]

does "melee fire damage" do anything for skills like shield throw? id assume not?

[native sail]

Does nothing. Throwing attacks are throwing attack, bow attacks are bow attacks, melee attacks are melee attacks.

[minor horizon]

how do i scale my damage then? just with block chance?

[native sail]

With throwing damage and relevant damage type affixes, how else?

[sick rampart]

if you hover your mouse over the skill, it will show you the scaling tags

[native sail]

Is your Shield Throw doing phys damage? Get increased phys. Fire? Increased fire.

It will take them from your weapon too, all mods are global in this game

[minor horizon]

i see, so i dont need to scale flat and % dmg like in PoE for example?

[native sail]

I mean, it's still really good to get both. Hell, you SHOULD get both.

There is flat throwing damage on belts and rings.

[minor horizon]

ill get both then, thanks a lot

[desert tree]

amu and relic too

[minor horizon]

ive talked to said npc but the quest isnt updating? he said theres a caravan in the crossroads so should i just head there?

[rich citrus]

where can i get the latest lootfilter for general purpose/acolyte ❔
i don t wanna miss valuables. 😺

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/0-9-1-heavyz-casual-loot-filters-for-all-classes-v3/25176

found this but wanna know if this is perfect/others exist aswell. ty

the one that ive been using from a streamer(forgot who)
does this show too little ❔
or its enough of all the goodies.

[sterile widget]

Heavy's filters are great for casual play and can easily be modified to suit your specific needs

[minor horizon]

is the fight against majasa the last story quest?

Is there an easy way to start fresh offline? Want the shared stash but not keep all the stuff from last playthrough

[dense root]

i imagine you could delete/move the save files

idk where they're stored but my understanding is offline saves are just files somewhere on your computer

[small sierra]

anyone got a vk warpath guide i could follow?

[fresh aspen]

max roll

[fresh aspen]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/echo-warpath-void-knight-guide

[potent quartz]

guys I play warpath paladin, warpath converted into fire, I use holy aura, sigils, lunge and smite. I had one point on auto cast smite on warpath, I respected it. now I dont even cast smite and the points are waste basically. What else would be useful from other sub classes?

[near path]

Volatile Reversal for its more damage debuff on enemies

[potent quartz]

is it on voidknight? I cant check atm

[near path]

Yes, needs 5 points in VK

[potent quartz]

perfect, I'll check it thx

[minor horizon]

should i use the "endgame lootfilter" provided in the shieldthrow guide on maxroll as soon as i hit monoliths?

[sick basalt]

can someone pls teach me how do i make my monolith of fate

to ultimate something

like making it harder yet at the same time better loot

[marsh radish]

guys sorry but my brain simply does not understand the "uncapped resist" thing:

Please can someone explain to me if you have all resist on 75% what bonus effect you will get?

[faint cape]

First, you unlock empowered monoliths (level 100), then you can kill the Shade in those to increase corruption

[faint cape]

Uncapped means what your resistances are, as if there was no cap. You just add up all your resists. If you are overcapped on a resist, you'll see a gray number near that one showing your uncapped value.

[ocean cliff]

does the frostbite apply to wolves if they have the cold tag from this idol?

[faint cape]

No

[near path]

if it doesn't say "minion", it doesn't affect minion

[sterile bane]

is it true that u have to have 50gb free to download TLE?

[native sail]

Uh... not to my knowledge. It's like 25gb

[sterile bane]

i read somewhere that u have to have a certain amount of space. yea i heard the game is only 25

ok thanks

[dense root]

you do need space for like save files and stuff if you play offline

[native sail]

Certainly not an extra 25gb though

[dense root]

wouldn’t expect that to double the size of the game though

[polar holly]

how do i farm + fire ball level/pierce? i'm at corruption 110 ish

[dense root]

you don’t really target farm skill shards

just make sure your filter highlights it

[polar holly]

my dps is really low, i cant leech enough to sustain the twisted heart relic for sorc

[dense lynx]

Currently a mage and have had a necro in the past. I am stuck and wanted help on where to go next. I heard bladedancer is pretty OP but so is judgement paladin. Obviously the playstyles are massively different but I wanted to know how others have liked either build and their ability to scale towards that 300 corruption sweetspot

[oblique scroll]

Are the things that you get with any of these supporter packs listed anywhere? I want to contribute but I want to know what each one gives before deciding. Is it just the portal in the pic and the store cash?

[potent rapids]

Open the store in game and it tells/shows you.

[oblique scroll]

How? I don't see an option.

NM. Found it.

[potent rapids]

Right at the top? Where it says "Supporter Packs"

[oblique scroll]

Right but you have to go into your inventory screen to find it. Kind of hidden away in there IMO.

[potent rapids]

Bottom right next to mana, the word "Shop" is clickable

It's not super obvious that it's a button, but it is

[oblique scroll]

lol, oh well I have 52 year-old eyes and I play on my TV from across the room. Now that you pointed it out and I squinted real hard I can see it.

[polar holly]

what does uncapped lightning resistance mean, does it mean my total lightning resistance?

[sinful laurel]

Yes. Lightning res over the cap

[polar holly]

thanks

[winter folio]

Whats the staff name that everyone wants for that totem like minion build with the wraiths

[simple torrent]

Aberrant call

[winter folio]

so this is kind of a big find then

What 4 stats do I desire to slam on it.

[simple torrent]

yes it is

you would want cast speed and minion spell damage at least

[winter folio]

what else would be recommended.

[sinful laurel]

Casual 4lp aberrant lol

[simple torrent]

if you will go with other minions then minion phys, maybe chill/slow on hit as last...

[winter folio]

Yeah it seems like there isn't much minion damage mods that would apply to the wraith build.

I don't really enjoy minions builds so I typically avoid them but it might be nice to try this one out lol

[sinful laurel]

Tbf the flame wraiths build doesn't play like a minion build at all. It's basically d2 trapsin

And a 4lp aberrant would supercharge the fuck out of the build with the right smash exalt

[winter folio]

Never played it, just heard about it.

Time to find a guide I guess.

[sinful laurel]

There are several floating around for flame wraiths

It's a very popular build atm

[winter folio]

Got one you would recommend?

[sinful laurel]

Nope sorry. I don't really play Necro at all and don't look at many online guides or YouTube videos. Ask in acolyte channel though, someone will likely have it pretty quick

[simple torrent]

this is the meta one right now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMrDOwvyUhE

[marsh maple]

That is outdated because it was utilizing the bugged gloves. The old version is just fine currently and hasn't been changed since 8.5 much

[winter folio]

Got one dread?

[sinful laurel]

"the old version is just fine currently and hasn't been changed since 8.5 much"

[winter folio]

I do not know the OLD version

[sinful laurel]

Lastepochtools.com/builds

[simple torrent]

only outdated thing is cast speed on gloves, you would want everything else

[golden dagger]

Are there any skills that can't reach Lagon? I can't tell if my volatile zombies are reaching him and there's no graphical indication infernal shade is sticking.

[sinful laurel]

Yes there are. Idk about Necro skills but I know static for example has issues. And iirc judgement and some other sentinel skills yoo

Lagon is borked and has been for a long time

[golden dagger]

Ah, okay. At least it's not just me haha. My minions also keep getting stuck outside the arena boundaries. This battle is rough right now. Thanks for the info :)

[winter folio]

since everything else is still good, what glove is recommended, just a crafted one or ?

[sinful laurel]

You can still use julra gloves, afaik they still work. They just aren't bugged anymore to give like 50x the cast speed to minions they are supposed to

[simple torrent]

yeah i still use them as well, still gives minions cast speed (if you get that crafted) and some spell damage

[winter folio]

so the guide is actually 100% just fine..

[simple torrent]

Yeah the damage numbers just are lower

the gloves would give you the cast speed every time you summoned a wraith, now you only get it one time

[sinful laurel]

Still a very strong, top meta build

[simple torrent]

Would still be playing it if i didn't just get the squirrel helmet

[zenith cargo]

this is kind of a humble brag, but: What kind of DPS numbers are people seeing for Disintegrate at high levels. Is 250k a lot?

just trying to get a feel for how well this build is working

[balmy current]

The tooltip for Disintegrate is a bit wonky, people have seen it up into the millions (but only ~70k ticks).

[winter folio]

I recently got the squirrel helmet too, I wonder if it better now too since they changed the frost bite node.

[simple torrent]

yeah wanted to try that while dual wielding the new sword

[fresh aspen]

squirrels dont get frostbite node

wolves only

[winter folio]

thats lame if that is the case

[winter folio]

what sword, the minion cold one?

[simple torrent]

yeah

[faint cape]

Pretty sure they mean Ice Bite, which squirrels absolutely can use, unless the rework to it bugged it out

[potent rapids]

I keep reading that shadow daggers is strong, fun, and fast. Where can I netdeck a good shadow daggers build? I don't really consume LE content so I have no idea who is smart and who is dumb.

[winter folio]

Yes I meant the ice bite node.

the one that now has a cd but every attack they do reduces the CD

[marsh maple]

Maxroll.com has a good shadow daggers setup on the website that I can recommend currently

[potent rapids]

Neat. Thanks. I had found that but I've never heard of maxroll before.

[marsh maple]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/shadow-daggers-bladedancer-guide

[potent rapids]

Wings of Argentus being a big deal seems odd to me. Is the 20% less damage while moving really that significant?

[sinful laurel]

I don't like that wings and bastion are included in that planner tbh

[potent rapids]

Ooh, controversy! Tell me more!

[sinful laurel]

Wings is fine but any decent exalted will be significantly better. And now that dw is only 9% inc DMG taken, the bonuses of dw far outweigh the drawbacks unless you are trying to push super high corr. And even then SD playstyle is just not necessary to have a shield

[faint cape]

They just aren't needed and they are really rare, leads new people to think they can't play the build without those items (tbf probably says you don't need them in the guide, but still)

[sinful laurel]

Also, wings is super rare to have any amount of LP. Like astronomically rare

If you are curious, I posted a version of SD in rogue recently and ragulol posted his edited version of it a bit after. If you want to search in that channel

[potent rapids]

Well I do have both a Bastion and a Wings so using them isn't a problem for me, specifically. But if I'm gonna make a character for the purpose of blasting through everything I wanna do it as well as I can.

[rich citrus]

whats/where is the item that lets you have more golems(bone shatter build) ❔

[potent rapids]

Aaron's Will, but you don't use that for a Bone Shatter build because it adds a cooldown.

[sinful laurel]

Even if you have them, still not worth to me.

I wouldn't use either item over others

[potent rapids]

I'll look for your version!

[rich citrus]

thats the only golem unique ❔

[potent rapids]

Only one that adds more max golems.

[faint cape]

I think the only reason they use Wings is because the way they run monos is by literally ignoring all the mobs and trying to find the exit - if you don't like to play that way, definitely use almost any other body armor lol

shield is a preference thing, or something you switch to once you have a ton of damage

[potent rapids]

Ah

[potent rapids]

I've so far been unable to find the one you posted in #🔪┃rogue

[sinful laurel]

This is ragulol's edited one #🔪┃rogue message you can find mine by going back through replies

He is def an SD expert but some of his changes are personal preference.

[potent rapids]

TY!

Neat, I've got a ton of stuff I can make this work with.

[sinful laurel]

Fyi. Weaver for echo running and switch for a high DMG dagger for bossing. Preferably an obsidian

Or be the asshole that has a bonkers 2lp weaver 🙂

[potent rapids]

lol. Sadly, I have only a 1LP. Snagged Crit multiplier on it though so I've got that going for me at least.

[sinful laurel]

That's a really good smash.

[potent rapids]

T6, 69%!

[sinful laurel]

You'll be set for 98% of content with just the weaver. You won't need to switch daggers unless you find an absolutely mad one

[potent rapids]

Sweet.

I don't have a sword but I think I've got some good candidate daggers for the mainhand. Can I ask your opinion?

[sinful laurel]

Sword is just nice because it can roll dodge % suffix

[potent rapids]

ah

[sinful laurel]

Technically the highest damage offhand is a doom star mace

Obsidian dagger works fine. Kris dagger is great too

As long as you have one dagger, the other hand can be whatever

[potent rapids]

Well I feel like I know what you're gonna suggest of these two now, buuuut

[sinful laurel]

Holy shit that obsidian is nutso

[potent rapids]

I can see the future!

[sinful laurel]

If you can seal off one of the suffixes and grab another debuff like chill, slow or armor shred (depending on what you need) that dagger is top tier

[potent rapids]

Awesome

[sinful laurel]

SD BD doesn't hurt for crit multi but lacks in % increased DMG so that dagger is really good

[potent rapids]

Sometimes it pays to be a packrat

[sinful laurel]

Oh also make sure you reroll implicits if you can. That's an abysmal roll

[potent rapids]

lol yeah 😦

aww balls

2x failure to seal the Frailty, and then upgrading to T5 phys cost 19 FP 😦

[sinful laurel]

It's probably still 90% top tier.

[potent rapids]

\o/

[sinful laurel]

People hunt for a while for flat phys and % phys obsidian

The suffixes are just icing

[potent rapids]

What's your preference on Gloves prefixes? I've got a pair with T6 throwing damage and an open prefix.

[sinful laurel]

How high corr do you want to push?

[potent rapids]

I'm not sure. Probably not super high? I'm mostly just tired of farming with flame wraiths for the builds I want to fiddle around with.

[sinful laurel]

For overall damage go dex. For boss damage go mana. For utility/survive go melee health leech or str

[potent rapids]

👍
Appreciate all your advice dude

[sinful laurel]

Np

[sick basalt]

can someone pls teach me how do i make my monolith of fate
to ultimate something
like making it harder yet at the same time better loot

[sinful laurel]

Complete the final three timelines, last ruin, age of winter and spirits of fire. Once done return to the central island connecting all three and click on the blue glowing orb. This unlocks all timeline islands and empowered mode, which sets all to level 100 and 100 corruption.

[blissful veldt]

Hello, i have been thinking about buying the game.
I often have no internet whatsoever, will i be able to play the game? -- I read few forums and articles where they said you still need internet to login and some things. Is that still a thing?
If i have 8 GB total RAM in my laptop is that enough to run the game? -- minimal requirements mean 8 gb free ram or total?

[sick basalt]

there is offline mode ofc

[tight crest]

does your companion benefit from +minion damage?

[sick basalt]

they are technically minions

even totems

[tight crest]

aha oke cool tnx

[sick basalt]

see tags

[potent rapids]

This is so much more interesting to play than Flame Wraiths, good lord.

[slate snow]

what amount of corruption should i expect to push with a decent build?

[tawdry mulch]

Hi, anyone knows which skill leaves those circles, and then lightning rains down on the center?
https://youtu.be/45PPveDNL2Q?t=195
at the 3min 15s mark (already pre-stamped)
I thought Lightning blast, but don't think it has that from what I first saw....

[brave ibex]

Lightning converted Meteor

[tawdry mulch]

Oh, with the staff? damn, didn't think it would leave a straight line like that, thx!

Ah I see, "Infernal Column" (Meteors drop in straight line)

[raw coyote]

can you get hollow blades in the gambler? if so, what level do you need to be (@ or higher than the req of the item) ?

[sinful laurel]

Not from regular gamblers no. Level 40 max

[raw coyote]

what's a non-regular gambler?

[sinful laurel]

The dungeon one

[amber zealot]

does anyone know if its a known bug that current julra's glove not applied on minion stats?

[potent rapids]

Corruption level does not affect chance for items to have LP, right?

[sinful laurel]

Not directly no

[potent rapids]

Indirectly how?

[sinful laurel]

Higher corr is just more rarity, so more unique drops on average. More uniques is more chances for LP

[potent rapids]

But any given unique that drops has an equal chance to have LP, and have higher LP, regardless of corruption?

[rich citrus]

whats julra

[sinful laurel]

LP chance is an inherent property of that specific unique

[sinful laurel]

Boss of temporal sanctum dungeon

The only thing that affects chance for LP is the chance for LP specific to that item

[rich citrus]

u cant avoid his initial hit ? have to hug the edges?

[sinful laurel]

Not sure what you mean. She doesn't open with an attack right off the bat. You mean her big aoe?

[rich citrus]

ye

[sinful laurel]

Time warp. Like the dungeon has been teaching you the whole time

[rich citrus]

lel

[sinful laurel]

You will constantly be bouncing back and forth between timelines in that fight

[rich citrus]

"teaching" meaning just spammin' the button.

haha tnx

[near path]

https://tenor.com/view/not-how-it-works-confused-doesnt-work-that-way-no-not-like-this-gif-4953698

[potent rapids]

I mean the only thing it really needs to teach you is "Press button go different place"

[errant dawn]

why is smoke weaver considered so good, it seems nice defensively but offensively? is it just the shift CDR for zooming around?

trying to decide if i wanna camp in dagger echos or not

since it seems very hard to get anything more than 1LP as well

[sinful laurel]

Weaver is just really nice QoL for mapping. Huge flat dodge and shift cooldown

A higher LP weaver would be very lucky

[tired helm]

Asking this again because it's been almost 24 hours and I don't exactly know what the "cooldown" is with asking repeat questions. Does anyone know if this waypoint exists? 😕

[cinder maple]

Is the armor calculation in the guide relevant? Cause when I implement it as-is-given in a spreadsheet it has weird interactions such as capping out like converging towards 74% reduction (at infinite armor) and negative armor is just completely weird.
If the calc in the guide is wrong, does anyone know the actual armor calc?

[sinful laurel]

Sorry missed it. Known bug

[tired helm]

ah okay, lol

thanks 🙂

[sinful laurel]

But not sure if it's there and not in map or not there and supposed to be lol

[tired helm]

hmm...maybe I can edit an offline character and toggle that waypoint flag? and then see where it takes me?

[sinful laurel]

Check tunklabs calculations

[sinful laurel]

I meant I specifically am not sure what the exact issue is lol

[tired helm]

okay yeah no crashing or anything...just doesn't seem to have been added to the actual zone. Traveling to waypoints are supposed to have you spawn on the actual waypoint. The Fortress Gardens waypoint instead just spawns you at the "The Keepers' Camp" exit.

[daring blaze]

There's no way to download an online char to offline is there? I'm experiencing some crazy lag when online even though my ping is fine, to the point it's almost unplayable past a certain time for network congestion where I live

[sinful laurel]

Interesting

[sinful laurel]

Nope

[daring blaze]

F

[tired helm]

I'm so confused...how come there is an option called "Solo Account Found" when creating a character yet when I try to look up a more in depth explanation on the web I keep finding results that call it "Solo Self Found" instead?

[visual mountain]

Is it better to farm elder gaspar in the last ruin or do ending the storm for ravenous void?

[tired helm]

what does the phrase "Account Found" (for online) and "Character Found" (for offline) even mean anyway? It sounds weird to me saying it out loud in my head, you know?

[zenith cargo]

Cool, thanks

And yeah, I know the DPS on the tooltip for disintegrate is very far from reality, but in a vacuum it's nice to compare against itself

[white axle]

How do people test damage and stuff, I'm still a low level (30+) but I'm trying to figure out how to build a fireball based boss killer. Currently I use it combined with volcanic orb, but trying to figure out what a good pyromancer might look like

[buoyant sinew]

There's a target dummy in a chapter 7 area, most people use that. Obviously not super helpful to you right now but if you're willing to wait...

[white axle]

Ah okay good to know ty

[native sail]

Account found characters can only share items with other account found characters. Character found characters are completely separate from all other characters and stashes. This will be revised in the future.

[tired helm]

ah okay that helps make sense of things then

[lethal flicker]

Hey guys, can Devouring Orbs on the Void Knight be used to quickly hit mobs and apply the frailty ailment?

[tired helm]

leaning away from game mechanics for a moment though...I'm actually curious to know how/why the phrase "Character Found" was chosen by the devs for this specific feature?

Like "found" what exactly?

[spring umbra]

anyone else got the "lost connection to game server" error when trying to login to online character? I just bought the game but I can't play it

[white axle]

Because you can trade some account found items, but only in special circumstances, you cannot trade character found

[native sail]

"X Found" is a phrase in ARPGs meant to dictate by what restriction the items and such acquired by the character are bound by. So in this case, the restriction is that items found by Account Found characters are restricted to other Account Found characters, and Character Found are restricted to only that character

[tired helm]

oh wait really? Damn I must have been out of the loop for a hot minute because I don't recall hearing that phrase

[native sail]

The thing you got confused on, "Solo Self Found" (SSF for short) is most prominently used in Path of Exile, it's the same as our "Account Found"

[tired helm]

that would definitely explain why it sounded weird to me, you know?

[native sail]

Completely understandable

I've been feeding my boredom via Project Diablo 2 and engaging in trade the past couple days which is throwing me for a real loop trying to decipher things, so I get it

[white axle]

Does ignite scale with spell damage

[sinful laurel]

no

[white axle]

I'm now level 30 still using a rare level 20 staff because it has % incrased fire damage, ignite chance, and increased damage over time haha

[sinful laurel]

nice find

[sinful laurel]

jesus. at level 20

thats crazy

[white axle]

For a fireball and volcanic orb leveling build

[sinful laurel]

i just level with firestarter and calamity lol

[white axle]

okay, so its okay to uhh not upgrade it

sorc?

[sinful laurel]

absolutely, that staff is insane

sorc or SB, at that level doesnt matter

[white axle]

Not familiar with firestarter/calamity, I guess those are perks?

[sinful laurel]

sorry. two uniques

firestarter torch is a 1h wep

calamity is a helm

[white axle]

Trying to understand how uh.. to quantify the base spell damage

[sinful laurel]

makes leveling with ignite super easy

[white axle]

versus the awesome modifiers

[sinful laurel]

if you are doing fireball and VO you are likely leaning into the ignite dot damage, not the actual hit damage

[white axle]

Yeah, trying to

[sinful laurel]

which spell damage would boost

[white axle]

I also found this early, and I still have it on level 30

[sinful laurel]

dots are super easy to get through the campaign with

[white axle]

(this is my first character btw)

[sinful laurel]

yup that is a very nice leveling relic too

[white axle]

But this I think has been keeping me alive along with the gloves from that quest

Avarice

[sinful laurel]

you are doing all the right leveling things lol

[white axle]

Okok, it just feels weird not to try and upgrade, but I havent found any good drops to replace them

I was lucky with the tome lol

[sinful laurel]

nothing wrong with that

[white axle]

I guesss this is also a good trade then if focusing on ignite?

the diff that is

[sinful laurel]

that one is less good

but fine for leveling

[white axle]

okay hmm, why tho?

Like should I keep the current ring it wants to replace

[sinful laurel]

you dont need crit at all and the other rolls are very low

if you can craft it a bit and change out some things sure

[white axle]

ignite doesnt crit then too eh?

[sinful laurel]

dots dont hit so they cant crit

[white axle]

I didnt even know changing out things was an option haha

[sinful laurel]

glyph of chaos

rune of removal

[white axle]

Oh wow I have one rune of removal

[swift bear]

with reaper form once i hit lvl 100 coruption for some reason i cant stay in it now --Any ideas?

[white axle]

ah okok, I think I'll kkeep my gear as is for the moment then haha

[sinful laurel]

yeah, craft as you go but dont stress too much

[white axle]

mmk haha tyty

In terms of fireball, ive been going spreading fire for fun, idk if its optimal but /shrug

[sinful laurel]

its good damage for a little while but falls off hard. its really only used to catalyze other things

for example, firestarter torch 🙂

[white axle]

Ya i dont have any other uniques yet

Got lots of ones for other builds unfortunately

But i kinda wanted to keep with the fantasy

[sinful laurel]

totally

if you arent struggling then dont worry

[candid cloud]

Is there a go to corruption pushing build?

[tired helm]

are the global channels in game restricted to other players in the same exact game mode and/or challenge?

So like HC SAF characters will only be able to chat in global with other HC SAF players?

[winter folio]

abberants call lp4, what other affixes are bis beyond minion spell damage and cast speed

[white axle]

ty for your help prime

[sinful laurel]

Surely

[tired helm]

whoa this relic just dropped in the first zone from a phoenix enemy?! 😮

[sinful laurel]

pretty common actually lol

nice find

[tired helm]

oh! lmao okay never mind then xD

[sinful laurel]

still an amazing leveling item

for any elemental build

[tired helm]

I'm coming from the old 90s era of ARPGs where these kind of items are almost unheard of dropping so early into the game

rolled stats seem above average too 😄

[sinful laurel]

yeah very nice

[winter folio]

Its lovely for leveling if you play an ele build.

[tired helm]

this other relic that also dropped really early looks like I have a chance to do ele damage on hit?

Does that technically add the Element keyword to said skill too though?

[sinful laurel]

no, that just means that you have a 15% chance to apply a stack if ignite (fire damage over time) on any hit

[tired helm]

ah okay

[candid cloud]

Does it matter who you level weavers will with? Will it form closer to the affixes of the character who wears it? Like if I am a sorc ill get more sorc affixes?

[sinful laurel]

i think the official word on that is no

but not sure

can ask in ask the devs if you want

[tired helm]

That relic book would have no effect on the cold damage this axe does, correct? It's pretty much strict with the Element keywording?

[sudden notch]

that does not add cold damage to your attack. it makes your other cold skills have higher damage

[sinful laurel]

this game is all about tags

if the skill you use has a cold tag, that axe will increase its damage

[glacial isle]

Do monsters just randomly spam? A group of us killed an area and they moved forward, I put a skill point in and more monsters spawned and killed me in HC 😦
