[sterile bane]

didnt know his name was aaron but ive seen some of his videos

[tight harbor]

Hi! I'm currently reporting some too dark maps i encounter in monos (especially "the last ruin" and "the black sun" monos), but i feel my screenshots are brighter than ingame!
How is that possible (the light in my appartment didn't change )?

[surreal verge]

Monitor settings?

[tight harbor]

monitor settings seem fine for me

[sterile bane]

@marsh maple is your MM attack speed build viable for players at all experiences or is it just a build you were having fun with?

[marsh maple]

it was just something I was having fun with

I would play something else probably if I were you

[worldly cosmos]

Try prtscreen and paste into paint etc, steams F12 can lighten captured screen shots

Or better yet use OBS and record a video of it

[tight harbor]

Well i already take my screenshots with window native screen capture, but recording a video seems a good idea, thank you!

[sterile bane]

well i really like fast MM builds. would it be hard to modify yours just to have some fun?

ill prob go beastmaster next

[thin tinsel]

Can damage dealt to mana before health get you into negative mana with big hits or will it stop at exactly 0?

[honest silo]

where do I get "Increased (Ignite) Effect"?
I saw some old reddit post mentioning idols but haven't found anything in the build planner 😦

[native sail]

To my knowledge, there is only a couple sources inside of specific skill trees now

[honest silo]

I'm a warpath ignite paladin, if that helps

[desert tree]

Inc ignite effect affixes have been replaced by penetration

[native sail]

It's entirely possible I am misremembering and they just haven't updated that

[honest silo]

in 9.1? it's possible they just haven't updated lastepochtools then!

[native sail]

Nah they removed those affixes in 0.9

Which leads me to believe that there must be some source of increased effect somewhere.

[desert tree]

Patch note 0.9

[surreal verge]

Oh no, LEtools is correct.

If you somehow get increased effect still, it just does ignite pen

But yes, most of it is replace by pen with

[honest silo]

ohh so i read the sentence wrong D:

[surreal verge]

It's basically a "just in case that text still exists" kinda thing

[honest silo]

or it should read "'Increased Effect' replaced with 'Additional Fire Penetration'" or something

aww got me excited for a minute.. anyways thanks guys, appreciate all your help!

[slate snow]

how big is the difference between a full T20 char with "correct" affixes for build compared to some exalted gear with 3 correct affixes?

my ele nova feels very weak atm but it is supposed to be meta right?

[outer forge]

is anyone getting lag issues when using the reign of winter bow? it feels like the icicles don't despawn quick enough and linger outside the map or something. after about 20 seconds of fighting, the game just gets really choppy. if I stop fighting or change zone. it clears up.

[sinful laurel]

I wouldn't call Ele nova exactly meta. It works well and is fun but it's not gonna smash 1500 corr or anything

But I could be wrong. Played a lot of mage but never EN

I do know there are a couple items that make it feel much better

[sinful laurel]

I wouldn't call Ele nova exactly meta. It works well and is fun but it's not gonna smash 1500 corr or anything

[sterile bane]

im still low lvl but can anyone help me with rogue MM builds?

[sinful laurel]

We can talk in rogue

[slate snow]

well im at 200 corr right now and it just feels so clunky, have to refill mana on almost every pack and i get stomped by every mob

so forget about 1500 corr 😅

[sinful laurel]

Well the mana thing is normal, that's just sorc gameplay most times. Do you have an ashen crown?

[slate snow]

yeah, ashen crown some decent dmg idols with 300+ mana. but i feel like scrapping it. does not feel like smooth gameplay at all. came from a warpath that felt a lot smoother

[sinful laurel]

EN gameplay isn't for everyone. You can ask in mage for some experts advice but I personally would rather play any other type of mage. Mage is an extremely fun and powerful class

[slate snow]

is there any smooth lich builds i could try? by smooth i mean builds with less micro management like warpath

[sinful laurel]

Lich builds generally have more micromanagement in general as most of them have to manage reaper form, death seal etc

Necro builds however

Fire wraiths plays almost exactly like d2 trapsin

[sacred forge]

I'm just starting the game and kind of overwhelmed by what build to play that I can't decide, can anyone recommend me a good no budget build or skill to play?

[sinful laurel]

Depends on what you like and what playstyle/aesthetic

[sacred forge]

I don't really like minion/totem builds, and generally prefer ranged over melee builds

[tight panther]

May I know if the game has a online co op system like diablo whereby pubs can join my game or vice versa? Or I can only play co op through the invite of friends etc?

[surreal verge]

The latter.

[sacred forge]

I was thinking of playing a bladedancer build since I enjoy the assassin aesthetic, what's the best skill/build to play for bladedancer?

[pastel pebble]

Its largely easy enough to change builds. Masteries are permanant but otherwise lots of wriggle room!

[surreal verge]

The latter, currently it's invite only

[pastel pebble]

Ik Léo, a usrr here, has a very reliable bladedancer around shadow cascade(?)

[tight panther]

I see thank you for the info

[sinful laurel]

If you want the most braindead gearing and easy to progress for first character go with shadow daggers blade dancer

[surreal verge]

(It's so braindead when I switched to the proper build I thought the proper build sucked until I went to test it properly)

[pastel pebble]

Join Void Knight supremacy

[sinful laurel]

Echo the world

[pastel pebble]

Anvil Rive is just so satisfying

Its like an old diesal locomotive

[weary imp]

Hey guys, is there a problem with Thetima ? My friend cant join the city

Always kick him froim the game

[hasty tartan]

Anyone played bleed bear? How is it as a starter?

If you don't have specific uniques

[amber void]

there's any penalty for having negative mana, other than not being able to use skills that consume mana? when i reach negative mana i noticed a purple aura around my character

[distant wedge]

Is + Meele Damage adaptive damage? Will + % Cold Damage work on adaptive damage?

[surreal verge]

Yes. It will adapt to the skill's damage.

Yes to the 2nd one, if the skill has the Cold tag.

[distant wedge]

Thank you for the answers. Do you also perhaps know if + elemental melee damage and + melee damage is better than + elemental melee damage and + % elemental damage, or does that depend on skills and builds?

[surreal verge]

Elemental buffs fire, cold and lightning. It would depend on skills and the numbers.

[distant wedge]

In my specific case it's Flame Reave, I'm thinking about [+ Melee + Fire Melee] vs [+ % Fire + Fire Melee]

[surreal verge]

WHatever numbers are higher then

[distant wedge]

Alright, just knowing that theres no universal rule is enough for the time being, thanks 🙏

[sterile bane]

isnt there a mechanic in wow where u sacrifice items for something?

[surreal verge]

What?

[wheat vault]

Does anyone know how Orian's Eye and Ravenous Void's damage conversion interact?

[sterile bane]

wasnt there a thing in wow where u sacrifice items to get something else?

[distant wedge]

Another question, is there any actual benefit to going + Elemental Melee Damage over + Melee Damage if the latter is adaptive?

[surreal verge]

The latter is mostly on weapon bases, and (I think) never as an affix

[faint cape]

They don't. You probably never want to wear these two items together, since RV means you can't completely neglect void resistance anymore.

[wheat vault]

Thanks, wasn't sure how LE did it

Is this written in a resource somewhere so I know where to go if I forget? :P

my brain doesnt remember data just where to find it

[faint cape]

If you mean like the difference between +Melee Fire Damage and +Melee Damage for a melee fire skill like flame brand, there's no difference at all aside from they are probably rarely competing with each other (one is on affixes/passives vs the other on implicits)

[faint cape]

This is probably the best reference: #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

I'm not sure if it's explained in the game guide or not

[wheat vault]

Not in the game guide, I did at least think to check there first! Appreciate the help

[sick basalt]

if i used glyph of despair will it affect the purple line of exalted?

[surreal verge]

What?

You can't even craft on the purple lines.

[sinful laurel]

Unlimited but like you said, with a 1 second duration your are limited by your application rate

[solid temple]

can the game still be played in fully offline mode?

and how will seasonal stuff be implemented in offline?

[native sail]

Technically speaking, no because you need an initial login like you always have, they're working on that though. As for the seasonal stuff, just like any update to the game. Download and go.

[solid temple]

Well logging in is fine, but I guess I can mod and cheat engine and whatever since I won't be a coop/mp character
yeah, but leagues change every 3 months, completely removing the older content afaik?

[native sail]

As far as we know, content isn't getting removed because it's being added to the standard game at the same time as the cycle starts.

I think a big distinction people miss here is that EHG hasn't seemed to be planning like PoE and D3 do where they implement a thing and then take it away down the line. It pushes FOMO (which a lot of people apparently struggle with) and is borderline predatory imo.

[amber void]

it's normal for the sanctum boss to instacast the pool of void? she shifted the era and killed me with that, no AoE indicator

[next quail]

ok I need help what skill I can use for phys based forge guard to kill bosses? I have good clear abilities with shield throw and hammer throw, but I cant find anything to even put dent on bosses

[ruby badge]

hmmm Rive / warpath is good for phys, warpath can also summons forged weapon if you're into that.

[next quail]

Rive ? I tried it a few times but it doesnt seems to do any damage, can you point me to some build for that skill ?

[native sail]

Rive builds rely on some real weird playstyles to work

Like this

[next quail]

I was trying to use this node with live leach, but it didn't make it to do enough damage over just "use more hammers"

I'm trying javeling with smite and it seems it could work

[native sail]

From what I know, it's best used as a VK surprisingly

The problem you are mostly experiencing is that of being a Forge Guard

[ruby badge]

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

something like this with Rive

but rely on thrid strike

[native sail]

FG is just... worse than Pally and VK, it has worse build variety and worse performance overall

[next quail]

yeah not very happy with this class

thank you for the skill tree, I will try it if javelin+smite won't work

[native sail]

As a reminder, it won't stay like this, EHG does get around to fixing up stuff they find to be underperforming and such.

[next quail]

to be honest it seems fine so far, but I'm it has identity crisis, third is melee third is ranger and third is minions 😄

[thin tinsel]

any way to know how much dmg the screenwide yulra attack deals?

[faint cape]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/npc/VoidNagasaBoss

Looks like 2000 base and 4 stacks of doom, scaled by whatever modifiers are active from the doors. Also seems like she has a global 12% less damage mod.

[thin tinsel]

whew that seems like a lot thx

[faint cape]

yeah, and you can count on her having roughly 300%+ increased damage on the low end from those doors in T4

[thin tinsel]

another question, is there a mage channel spell that benefits from cast speed 😄 ?

[faint cape]

Not really, channeled spells only really benefit from cast speed for shortening their startup animation

[thin tinsel]

tought so, well maybe in the future with runemaster i will definitley keep it for now

[faint cape]

yeah, double exalts are always neat!

[solid temple]

I agree with that, really good decision 🙏

that is why I dont play poe/diablo tbh

[sick basalt]

i am just curious

why we cant defeat the emperor of imperial era

when we easily defeated the emperor of ruined era

[faint cape]

Lore-wise? The Emperor in the ruined era is just some "void puppet"

[pastel pebble]

Decayed a ton

Like its basically a corpse

[sick basalt]

aint he like the one speaking to us

when we got to the ruined empire

[faint cape]

We don't know for sure who that is as far as I know. Either way, the void can make its puppets say or do anything

[copper fable]

Whats the difference between solo and 1 player ladders? is solo like account bound(SSF)

[carmine coyote]

solo is SAF

1 player is normal

[alpine token]

I think FOMO is applicable if there are rewards you can only get during seasons. As far as temporary mechanics I don't see it as predatory FOMO. I didn't participate in D3 seasons much but some of their changes like putting any cube power in any slot was cool for a season but directly contradicts the intended balance of the game so it wouldn't make sense to make permanent, along with things like increased loot goblin spawn or some such. D3 tends to do fun gimmicks. Enough of those made permanent and the game is a shit show. For PoE they like to do huge systems with tons of moving parts. Having them all stay in the game in their full state would bloat the hell out of it. As is the game can feel incredibly bloated with so many systems to interact with and not knowing which is best based on what your current goals are. If they never removed or trimmed down any of it the game would be a disaster 4 leagues in. Even when the systems stay in a trimmed down state they can make the game way more intimidating to play.
But without the D3 gimmicks or PoE league systems the new additions to the game would be much less interesting since they'd have to design everything with the intention of being a permanent part of the game. Seasonal stuff allows experimentation. We'd be back at the D2 model of small additions to the game(new rune words sort of stuff) for new seasons with rare big expansions.

(sorry, probably too long of a response given we're in the ask channel. If anyone cares enough to respond/continue that topic @ me in another channel)

[static spade]

Hi ! I'm trying to understand how to use Gaspar's set. So:
Is the cooldown on decimation global or per element (ie I cast a cold spell, then a fire spell, does it trigger decimation twice ?)
What about spells with multiple tags, such as elem nova ?

[faint cape]

Each proc has its own 2s cooldown (with the set bonus), but you can only trigger once per cast with multi-element spells.

[static spade]

OK, thanks 🙂
I presume multi-ele spells still put each proc into cooldown even though only one decimation triggers ? You can't just cast the same tri-ele spell to get all your procs activating in sequence ?

[alpine token]

First time finding the timeline reset/corruption nodes. I have enough stability to go through the 3 quest echoes again. Can I get multiple blessings? I assume higher corruption means better blessing tiers, so if I don't want to change my current one I assume I should just corrupt and keep going

[surreal verge]

No, you cannot get multiple blessings from the same monolith.

[native sail]

You can only pick one blessing from each timeline.

[thin tinsel]

do endurane echo mods stack?

[sterile widget]

Yup

Cap is 60%

[thin tinsel]

so if they already give 60% from one mod all after that are pretty much free like with glancing hit chance nice thx!

[faint cape]

Nope, it only puts the one on cooldown that gets triggered. I don't know how it picks which one to trigger, though (if it's random or the items have priority ranking or something).

[sterile bane]

@alpine token what other channel should we use?

[faint cape]

So yes, you can spam tri-ele nova and if you line up to get exactly 3 casts every 2 sec, it'll proc on cooldown

[faint cape]

Probably #💬┃general

You could also thread their comment in here, I think?

[static spade]

wow, sounds too good to be true ! I guess the penalty is using this crap torso.
Thanks for your answer !

[faint cape]

Yep! The other rough bit is trying to scale the void damage, but it has potential

[sterile bane]

im just curious as to what rewards we will get from cycels

[faint cape]

I don't think that info is set yet. We've heard the ladder system is likely to have some rewards such as EP, but otherwise no clue.

[sterile bane]

EP?

epoch points?

are epoch points meant for visual effects only, for now?

[sinful laurel]

Yes

Cosmetics only

And that won't change

[native sail]

EP will only ever be cosmetics. You will never be able to buy any kind of convenience or power with them.

[thin tinsel]

Except when the skill mtxs are coming that turn skills that make your eyes bleed into nice ones, thats kinda convenience 😄

[native sail]

that's a personal thing imo, none of the skills bother me

[thin tinsel]

Yeah wasnt meant really serious, didnt encounter a skill that would fall into that category either but i havent played everything yet too

[native sail]

I have used every skill at least once. WIth varying degrees of success.

[sinful laurel]

Once we get that black skull stealth armor mtx that makes us harder to see. P2w

[thin tinsel]

that sounds like ANTI p2w like p2lose lol

[sinful laurel]

Just a call of duty joke 🙂

[native sail]

I follow that meta in Destiny

Mmm Skeleghaul

[thin tinsel]

there istn a build that can dual wield this that uses minions right?

[sinful laurel]

@pine plover lol

[thin tinsel]

huh xD?

[sinful laurel]

Oh ama has some crazy dw apogee builds already working.

Like ama do

[thin tinsel]

with minions? now that i think about it, the only one who can dw this is spellblade and bladedancer right?

[sinful laurel]

Sentinel and primalist too

[surreal verge]

Primalist

[sinful laurel]

Oh wait maybe not sent

[surreal verge]

Honestly thought this was made for primalist and acolyte

[sinful laurel]

Ama has some bonkers dw apogee bladedancer with cold exploding ballista lol

[pastel pebble]

Lowkey lightning for me but only late at nigjt when very sleepy

IMO they should make the default characters uglier to encourage MTX

[sinful laurel]

I don't understand it lol. But I know it works for primalist and I have an idea for sentinel

[surreal verge]

That sounds both hilarious and terrifiying

[sinful laurel]

And yes sentinels can dw swords too

[thin tinsel]

wait what

i was like 99% sure primalist can not dw swords

[sinful laurel]

They can. Harmony of blades

[thin tinsel]

yeah just checked, tought it was only axes

well nvm my question then, there are obviously sick builds with primalist then wow

[sinful laurel]

Apparently it's a bit tough to get the death mechanic working reliably but

[pine plover]

primalist with frostbite warcry totems

[thin tinsel]

i read something that the range of that seems bugged yeah

[pine plover]

if you're a shaman, you can make storm totems cold as well

[thin tinsel]

i will probably use it with my beastmaster at some point to try it out, but squirrels will come first 😄

[latent canyon]

It can be used in squirrels

[thin tinsel]

hmm well, maybe even cold squirrels? or cold zombie squirrels.. the possibilites are endless

[latent canyon]

And quite good

Its at least 1500c capable

Btw

[thin tinsel]

to think of that, dw this plus a perfect rolled scurry means +13 wolf skill, kinda insane

[latent canyon]

Freshly found last night

[native sail]

To my knowledge you'd only get +10, I'm fairly certain they cap skills at 30

[thin tinsel]

well to the ask dev channel i go

[thin tinsel]

mike has spoken, no hard cap

[lost delta]

Question on skill node for Disintegrate, does Laser Focus not work currently?

[native sail]

Gotcha. Likely an assumed thing based around not being able to find anything higher then.

[thin tinsel]

yeah, most skills cant even reach +8 right now im pretty sure

[thin tinsel]

i used it a while ago while still lvling my mage and it seemed to work, why are you asking exactly?

[lost delta]

I am not seeing the 20 mana per second it states should occur. @thin tinsel

[thin tinsel]

that only happens while damaging enemys, maybe you didnt see that part?

[lost delta]

I did, and after some testing, it seems like it only regens the 20 if I spend it during the channel. If it's already been used it doesn't proc. Weird, but it works good enough for me.

thanks for the help though 🙂

[next quail]

thanks for idea, I tried rive, and it was good for mobing and sustain, but in the end it was not good enough. Probably because my equip was a oriented to trowing damage.
Then I've got an idea. When forge guard is terrible class I could pair it with terrible weapon. So I went this javelin + spear weapon
https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/pA64YZ0B

And it worked. After few hours of experimenting, I finally managed to get build with good single target damage it I managed to kill the boss

[ruby badge]

nicely done man, yea i forgot Javelin is also good for phys/bleed 😂

idk why even tho im using javelin but for the buff, heal, and dash

[sacred forge]

I dropped a lightless arbor key around lvl 29, should I save it till later or is it worth using now?

[native sail]

Arbor are the keys I'd save the longest, the rewards basically directly scale with your amount of gold

[sinful laurel]

Crazy thing is, amadora got cold minions to 37 on primalist. Wolves I think

[slate snow]

what makes a good starter build? is there any general principles i can follow? like does some skills scale better than others? is dot a good choice because it ignores defense? is a passive tree with lot of resistance good cause gearing becomes easier?

[mellow birch]

In regards to what class?

[slate snow]

any, just wondering if there are general princples i could follow. but looking at rogue in particular

marksman

[dense root]

the big thing in le is to build defenses

you want to invest in multiple defensive layers

cap crit avoid on every character, cap endurance on every hp character, get some resistance (don’t need to cap until you’re deep into the end game but don’t have none), get some armor

dodge and glancing blows are also both good if you’re rogue specifically

[next quail]

can I use ignite as main source of damage ? I think It could combo ignite with smelters wrath Tempering blows which scale damage based on ignite on target.
If I take also a lot of DoT increase damage items, I think It could be at least functional ?

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/5BxXDXnB

[native sail]

No. Tempering Blows scales hit damage against ignited enemies, so you would be splitting your damage source between hits and ignite like that

Ignite is perfectly viable as a main damage source, but not how you're doing it here. DoTs rely on stack potential and damage increases to succeed. Hits rely on just... hitting harder really.

[leaden grail]

How am I supposed to reach this chest? Transplant doesn't work.

[pastel pebble]

You beg the devs for mercy

[leaden grail]

Aight let me head over to the dev channel

[pastel pebble]

Be sure to @ each of them ofx

[leaden grail]

Naturally

[mint raft]

whats the best way to farm exp rn?

[sinful laurel]

Empowered monoliths by far

[mint raft]

👍 didnt know if anything changed with the new update or not

[next quail]

ok so if I want to deal damage with just ignite dots It's just matter of how often and how many of them I can stack on enemy + DoT multipliers ?

[native sail]

Between that and your usual multipliers via pen and res shred that really almost every build wants, yeah that's kinda it

[next quail]

ok, that sound interesting. I haven't tried dot build, so maybe I will try to go this route.

thanks for help

[thin tinsel]

anyone here has some experience with scorpion companion or to be mor specific the baby scropion node?

[slate snow]

what affixes can increase bleed damage? im thinking dot/phys dot/phys pen, is this correct and is there others too?

[naive delta]

OK, my first question was completely ignored, but I'm going to try another one...

[ruby badge]

what's the question?

[naive delta]

I cannot advance above the 3rd level of Liath's Tower. Every time I click on the stairs to go up to level 4, there's a flash and I'm on level 3. I've tried restarting the game and even rebooting, but still get the same results. If it matters, I'm running 0.9.1C as a level 53 Spellblade.

[ruby badge]

hmm that's weird, lemme try first

[naive delta]

I've had problems in the past because the landing zone on the new level is so close to (or within) the takeoff zone to return through the portal (i.e go back down the stairs) that my first click returns me, but I've clicked once, let my char run to the stairs and took my hand off the mouse. Still, stuck on level 3.

[ruby badge]

i can do it just fine

[naive delta]

I guess I need to uninstall the game and start over. Sigh. Thanks for checking.

[ruby badge]

try to verify the game on steam first

[naive delta]

Good idea. Verifying now.

[ruby badge]

we can try to party up, so that you can tp to me on level 4 so you can advanced

[naive delta]

Oh, I didn't mention that I've never played online. Offline solo only. I've never enjoyed group play.

All 943 files successfully verified. Oh well.

[ruby badge]

i see, it must be some kind of bug then

!bug

[ripe brook]

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

[faint cape]

I wouldn't say I have much experience with it, but I will warn you that baby scorpions are your scorpion's minions, not yours

[naive delta]

I just submitted it as a bug. Thanks for trying!

[thin tinsel]

well their purpose would be dying instantly as much as possible xD

[naive delta]

I was quite surprised to discover that a Shrine of Scorpions does not provide a scorpion minion. Instead it spawns many scorpions that immediately attacked me!

[faint cape]

If you are looking to proc the new sword, I'm guessing it won't since they aren't your minions. A bee idol is probably an easier method

[thin tinsel]

they give "good" loot tho 😉

[thin tinsel]

yes exactly that one, a bee idol you say.. didnt even know this exists, tried the bee relic but them "poofing" away doesnt count sadly, maybe its different with the idol? also being forced into spriggan form is meh anyway

[slate snow]

does increased physical damage effect bleed at all? or is it just damage over time that can effect it?

[thin tinsel]

they should all work for bleed

[faint cape]

It's the same effect as the relic, but not conditional. Bees do die if anything sneezes at them unless you go very hard on scaling their survivability

[slate snow]

and a no on increased physical damage then? could not find a definite answer from the game guide, but that would be my guess

[faint cape]

Yes, bleed deals physical damage

[thin tinsel]

hmm alright i will test with the idol once i get one thx!

[slate snow]

yes that the guide says, but can i then assume that increased physical damage will have effect on my bleeds?

[faint cape]

Yes

[slate snow]

ok ty!

[urban wind]

Have they implemented a way to wipe your account yet? If not does anyone have ideas on how to start fresh group-found with friends?

[drowsy hornet]

Help choose my hammerdin build

Crit
Or
Ignite/bleed dot

[tired helm]

I don’t think I’m fully understanding your question…are you trying to delete your EHG account? Accounts in LE are pretty much whichever created character you choose to play with. Deleting an LE “account” would just be the same as deleting the character?

[sterile widget]

They haven't.

[urban wind]

Basically we want to just, do group SSF. But there's no way to revert the pool of crafting materials that we possess in order to do it.

[sterile widget]

There was talk of a support mechanism for solo account found only

Only way to do it currently is to empty your stash and use all your gold and crafting mats manually

Can't do anything about stash tabs you already bought

[urban wind]

[amber void]

is a bug when Julra instacast the pool of void? i saw this happening 3 times in T4

[livid shuttle]

does it work on spell hit?

[surreal verge]

When YOU'RE hit.

[livid shuttle]

damn i see 😅 the wording is kinda misleading to me

[sturdy crane]

What's the state of "missable" content? Are there quests or other content in the game that you can block yourself from ever completing accidentally?

For example let's say there's a quest to kill NPC A and when you do it they are permanently gone from your world. But NPC A could have also given you quests to complete if you hadn't killed them or maybe they would have been important in some other quest in some form.

Does something like this exist or is it impossible to accidentally block yourself from completing quests or so?

[surreal verge]

There's technically one that's on a per char basis. The leger that you can hand in to two different NPCs, each giving you a different fixed unique

[sturdy crane]

I see, thx! Ok but other than that nothing?

[surreal verge]

Nope.

[desert tree]

Otherwise its "on hit"

[sturdy crane]

What is this symbol?

[tired helm]

So I tried a couple different search phrases/terms but was unable to find anything that can explain what that blue stamp symbol means. The Last Epoch wiki doesn't even mention anything about it either 😕

[dense root]

it’s a story thing

it goes away very quickly

and doesn’t require you to do anything other than just complete the story quests

[surreal verge]

It's the seal that locks one of the paths, yeah it's removed in the Main Story Quest

[tired helm]

"...one of the paths..." as in the connecting arms branching out from The Council Chambers location?

[surreal verge]

It's SUPPOSED To

At least.

[tired helm]

I'm guessing that's the Ruined Era world map given the drab colors of the mountains? lol

[surreal verge]

Ye

[faint cape]

Yeah, it represents that rune door on the east side of the Council Chambers.

There's another like it in thr Imperial Era, but usually you blow by it without looking at the map lol

[sacred forge]

Is this unique worth building around?

[tired helm]

Speaking of which...is this game somewhat user-friendly in the sense that you can still endgame with just about whatever build? Or does this game also happen to fall into the "trap" where every class is pretty much using the same 2-3 builds?

[dense root]

you can do the story and early monoliths (the main endgame system) with almost anything that has some thought put into it

if you want to push high corruption (the difficulty scaling mechanic in monoliths) then the higher you go the fewer viable builds there are

i would say that for the corruption most players play at there are a substantial number of viable builds and it’s not hard to figure most of them out on your own

[tired helm]

Does loot drop quality improve with higher corruption levels?

[sinful laurel]

Rarity does, not quantity

[tired helm]

I think rarity is what I meant when I said quality lol

[sinful laurel]

Probably, just making it clear 🙂

[tired helm]

what about affix rolls?

[sinful laurel]

No pretty sure that isn't affected by rarity directly

But indirectly yes

[tired helm]

Just trying to gauge/guesstimate my playing experiene with trying to farm whatever the "best gear" is for whatever build I might be interested in creating, you know?

[sinful laurel]

If it helps, I don't feel the need to farm above 4-500 corr.

Like. Ever

[tired helm]

yeah see I don't even know what 400-500 corruption even entails at the moment since I'm nowhere near end game 😅

[sinful laurel]

Then don't worry about it yet!

[tired helm]

I'm still a fledgling green sentinel 😛

[sinful laurel]

Get to empowered monos and then start to worry about edficiency

[visual temple]

i have these 2 belts

this is tooltip of pink one, yellow has dmg of 8k

why is that?

iam converting damage to lightning

[native sail]

Bleed damage, tooltip overvalues DoT a bit

[visual temple]

chest armor is always equiped

[native sail]

I understand that

Bleed is phys

[visual temple]

oh, so purple belt is better despite tooltip?

[native sail]

Yeah

[visual temple]

thanks

[native sail]

No prob

[sterile bane]

still kind of a noob here. can u do anything with affix shards that you dont have a purpose for?

[surreal verge]

Store them for future prosperity

[dense root]

sell them for 1 gold or whatever it is

[sterile bane]

theres no do something to them for a chance of something else?

i feel like somehting liek that has to come

i dindt know bout rune of shattering that takes care of weapons that have 2 good affixes and 2 bad ones

[dense root]

you can make a suggestion in the suggestion channel if you want

but in my experience affix shards are just a complete non issue after the early game

and in the early game you wouldn’t have enough random ones to turn into something else anyway

[sterile bane]

i might in the future.

who knows the faction thing make take care of unusable items

[dense root]

factions won’t give you a use for shards you don’t care about

like we know how factions will work since they wrote a big article about it

(they could obviously add more factions that haven’t been announced in the future but the first ones don’t interact with shards at all)

[sterile bane]

i didnt mean shards i meant any non usable items

i mean i know the purpose of a loot game is to find loot but i kind of wnat a purpose of the loot i find that i dont want as well

[surreal verge]

So far:Drop, shatter for affixes, cry of a ruined drop.

Repeat

Since selling isn't worth anything

[sterile bane]

yep

[knotty tinsel]

and if you notice you're out of shards you need just slap an extra rule into your filter and shatter on those for a while

also hot tip: Rune of removal gives you back equal shards to the tier it removes, so if you find a t3-5 of a rare affix you don't have many of it's worth fishing for

[native sail]

They are planning on a mechanic of some sort to deal with excess shards, yes

[sterile bane]

GENIUS

[sick basalt]

is it possible to see someone else gears ingame?

[knotty tinsel]

you can ask them via chat to link them

[slow patrol]

I really want to buy the game but I don't know if there will be a sale, is there any information about it?

[candid elm]

The devs have previously stated there will not be another sale edit, correction: "for quite a while": https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/steam-summer-sale-june-23rd-july-7th/49045. The last sale was about a year ago for 20% off around June of 2022. That was a sale of $27.99 USD vs the regular price of $34.99 USD.

[sterile bane]

its 35

i also waitied to start playing this game and a part of me regrets it.

this game is amazing with an amazing community. you wont regret it

well if you are a fan of arpg

and @slow patrol they also announced no more wipes

[tardy lichen]

What's best to farm idols?

[knotty tinsel]

play a lot

no painless way to do it

take idol monoliths where you can, maybe get lucky and farm a dungeon on a day where the end reward is a bunch of idols

[thin tinsel]

anyone has expierence with the frenzy totem "tethering" node? for some reason it always tethers to my friend and i have no control over it

even if he is across the whole map

[faint cape]

Get the appropriate shape droprate blessing and just hit idol echoes always

[warped stirrup]

Arcan momentum got nerfed? (30 to 5 stacks)

[quasi hatch]

Pretty sure that was only a display bug

Fixed a bug where Arcane Momentum’s stacks displayed were incorrectly. This is only a display change.
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/beta-0-9j-patch-notes/58252

[sick rampart]

what's the general consensus about titan heart? been hearing its bad, but i think it depends on the build. i think it fits perfectly fine on a vk warpath, since echoed warpaths can throw in additional health leech when you might not be hitting something

[near path]

Who said Titan Heart is bad?

Afaik it's really damn strong if you're using a 2hander

DR and %health? What's not to like?

[sick rampart]

yeah plus almost 40% increased melee

it seems damn good, but i think people might dislike it because of no health regen

but again, that doesnt seem like an issue for vk warpath imo

[near path]

Idk of any build utilizing health Regen as a primary defensive layer

There's so many ways to recoup health

[sick rampart]

i think the problem is when you stop hitting because of an aoe or boss mechanic that you got to avoid and you're not full hp. the health regen is nice to recover a little bit

or builds like shield rush spam that loses 15% hp when you use the skill

(i only play sentinel up to now, so i can only use sentinel examples lol)

[dense root]

i mean the problem is just that it competes with a lot of good body armor affixes

like +skills and stuff

[tired helm]

um...so where is this quest npc? I see the "!" but no NPC to click on...

[dense root]

follow the arrows on your map

but also you click the glowing blue seal

[tired helm]

oh I didn't even think of clicking on the blue seal door thingie LOL

I wanted to grab whatever sidequests there are before leaving to the NW

waait what? Opposing quest lines?! 😅

[sick rampart]

well yeah, i wouldn't swap to a unique item if i had an t7 exalted skill affix, unless i can craft a legendary one

which i did 👽

[dense root]

i don’t think it needs to be t7 to be better than a regular titan heart for a lot of builds

[sick rampart]

i'd say it depends tbh

i would be willing to sacrifice a bit of damage if ill get huge defensive layers

[dense root]

you don’t really get huge defensive layers

the health here is not substantially more than a well crafted rare or exalted body armor offers

and the implicits are worse than a lot of other bases

[sick rampart]

the health is literally equal to a t7 health%

and the damage reduction is huge imo

all the rest is just a bonus

[dense root]

you don’t get flat health though

like you’re allowed two suffixes

[native sail]

The problem is it forces you into using a 2 hander in a game where the meta is just very, very weighted towards having a shield and one hand on the high end as you get far, far more defense out of that setup than anything

[dense root]

a single t7 health is not really much more impressive than a t6 and a t5 or even just two t5s

[pastel pebble]

But if you already wanna be using a 2hander its not a bad pick

[dense root]

i do love shields

[native sail]

Sure, but I am of the opinion that 2 hand is just directly worse

[sick rampart]

well yeah i have no idea how 1h shield vk warpath performs compared to 2h

[pastel pebble]

How can it be worse if it makes me happy?

Checkmate

[sick rampart]

depends on your objective

[native sail]

I mean fair, but my stupid brain likes "ooh better number"

[sick rampart]

i want to push as much corruption as i can

[pastel pebble]

To have fun

In which I am objectively correct

[sick rampart]

that's fair

[sick rampart]

i was just looking at lizard irl maxroll vk warpath and he's using wings of argentus that is just 5% more damage reduction that titan heart and has worse affixes for the build (tho it has 100 more armour on the base implicit)

and yeah, he's 2h as well

but i'd love to see how 1h shield performs too if anyone has ever done that testing

i dont have the gear to do that atm

[tired helm]

Got my first red item 😛

Is stun avoidance something I should worry about? Or can I respec this one point into something else?

[native sail]

Stun avoidance is not good enough to invest into in the tree imo
It's super easy to just get a cleanse somewhere instead

[tired helm]

can Riposte target the enemy I'm currently attacking if that's the only "nearby" enemy? Multistrike isn't as good of a solo target skill as I thought it was going to be, lol

[faint cape]

Huh, what do you mean when you say high end? I think for most that is ~300 corruption, and imo at that level you are just best off leaning into whatever your class does best.

[native sail]

IMO 300 is standard

[faint cape]

I think riposte targets whatever enemy triggers it

[native sail]

High end is like 600+

[tired helm]

gotcha

I'm gonna switch back to vengeance then. Sucks I lost those levels I originally had in that skill lol

[dense root]

300 isn’t that high yeah

300 is like what the devs balance around and expect a lot of people to be able to do

[faint cape]

That makes sense. I think your standard for content is just much higher than most people will run

[sinful laurel]

Then I feel like you are doing something wrong with it, I love multistrike as a single target

Granted I always have forged weapons with me so may be a bit biased 😉

[tired helm]

the armaments weren't hitting the solo target though?

[sinful laurel]

Hmmm that sounds not right

[tired helm]

well that's what looked like was happening on my end at least 🤷🏼‍♂️

[sinful laurel]

Hmm can you take a video?

I've never had issues with armaments hitting but I also haven't played multistrike after 0.9

[sick rampart]

it is stated that multistrike armaments cannot target your initial target

[sinful laurel]

Oh yeah they won't hit the same target. Sorry I thought you meant they weren't connecting at all

[tired helm]

lol okay yeah that's what I was trying to explain earlier 😛

I initially misread the skill and thought it worked like Zeal from D2

[sinful laurel]

Oh gotcha. Nope

[tired helm]

oh wow I just realized Counter Attack synergizes really well with Rebuke 😮

I was trying to figure out what was causing the Thorns effect every time I got hit xD

[sick basalt]

tbh ur still at early phase of the game so just use whatever suits you

stun avoidance is best on end game where mobs have homing that stuns you endlessly

[sterile widget]

You only think you're happy. Riposte!

[polar holly]

what do i do after hitting 100? it feels like my build is still unfinished

but if i keep grinding, i feel like im wasting my time for a drop that may never come

[weary tangle]

Hammer Sentinel is best as Void Knight or?

pala

[sterile bane]

welcome to ARPGs

[hushed relic]

farm on an alt

[sick rampart]

should i waste my best purple ring on a 2lp siphon of anguish or keep farming untill i get a 3lp?

[wheat saddle]

depends on what it is

[sick rampart]

its a t6 crit chance

with endurance and ele resistance, which i really dont need

[wheat saddle]

if its crit chance u might as well go for t7

and imo health needs to go on rings

[sick rampart]

ohh

kk got it. thanks!

[daring fulcrum]

Does hungering souls scale with minion damage or is it just spell/necrotic? And if the latter, am I correct in assuming necrotic damage is better than spell damage? And if so, is flat or % damage better ?

[steel merlin]

hungering souls doesnt scale with minion damage, if you see the tags it doesnt even have minion tag

[surreal verge]

Yeah er, idk how you made that connection.

Anyway, for the latter, whatever has the higher number.

(If you have other spells, then spell damage is better. If you have other Necrotic skills, Necrotic is better)

[steel merlin]

if you care for the damage of the hit, flat damage is 99% of the times going to be better than % damage

[daring fulcrum]

Cheers blokes. Sorry I haven’t actually used the skill before so I haven’t looked if they were technically minions or not.

Going to level a lich tonight

I’m just a big fan of auto targeting skills

[surreal verge]

Just a reminder that it's a DoT spell. And each cast can only hit an enemy once by default

[daring fulcrum]

Do the skulls count as a cast each ( so I can put eg, 8 stacks on at a time from one cast ) or do I need to cast 30 times to get 30 stacks on a single target ?

[surreal verge]

The latter.

[daring fulcrum]

Ah that’s shit

[surreal verge]

(Sure, you can make a cast spew out like 15 skulls, but ye)

That's because they do damage via their DoT.

[daring fulcrum]

So how do you do huge damage vs single target ?

Just sit and spam ?

[surreal verge]

You can change it to on hit, but then it just shoots out on big skull.

Or, use this unique

[daring fulcrum]

I’ve got that

[surreal verge]

Well, your skulls now can shotgun a target

Have fun scaling the gutted damage

[daring fulcrum]

Done deal

Surely just stack flat necrotic

[surreal verge]

The 63% is LESS damage

AKA last modifier

[daring fulcrum]

Ah

[steel merlin]

three skull hits already are enough to balance that modifier though

[daring fulcrum]

Does that mean hungering souls isn’t really a viable skill to build around endgame ?

[surreal verge]

Far from it. But not with that unique

[daring fulcrum]

So cast speed may outdo flat damage

[surreal verge]

Most people use it for mass Dot Application, but the less also cuts DoT damage....

[steel merlin]

no, you need both

[surreal verge]

You''re basically trading AoE for DPS.

[daring fulcrum]

So use the staff for single target target, switch to some other weapon for aoe

[surreal verge]

I never properly full built Cursed of Perseverance HS, so I don't know how far you can go with it

[daring fulcrum]

And what’s AoD?

[surreal verge]

Aura Of Decay.

Don't build around it unless you want to question your life choices

[daring fulcrum]

That bad huh

[surreal verge]

More like not good enough.

It's fun as a "Just walk and let things die" build

[polar holly]

at what level of corruption do i start seeing t7 exalt and double exalt?

[surreal verge]

THe latter is rare no matter where you go as I recall

(Or it's such a high number that you can't bet on it)

[frozen wraith]

people how do I link items in chat

[sick rampart]

ctrl alt right click with the chat open

[frozen wraith]

thanks mate

[pale fog]

Do the passive buffs to wraiths benefit all wraith types? e.g. pyre wraiths or is this restricted to the basic wraith

[surreal verge]

Yes, benefits all

[pale fog]

ty

[native sail]

T7 drop in area level 90 and above. Double exalt can start showing as soon as you can see exalts but also that's pretty rare so doesn't really matter when it can as you won't be making use of them regularly

[faint cape]

Like above, but just keep in mind that the different wraiths use different skills. Most notably, the basic wraith uses a melee attack and the others cast a spell.

[grand rapids]

Are there any ways to guarantee a Sanctum Key drop?

[sinful laurel]

No

[grand rapids]

unfortunate

[sinful laurel]

You will find many of them if you do timeline bosses as they come up. I think I have like 100 lol

All the dungeon keys

[grand rapids]

I just got a couple pieces I wanna do but got no keys and I feel like I havent got any in a while

[subtle skiff]

Advise the build for the first acquaintance with the game, please

[surreal verge]

I question what kind of english you learned.
Anyway, anything works as long as there's syngergy. Worry about that when you reach end game

[dense root]

most skills are fine for the campaign yeah

if you really want something easy then warpath sentinel is very intuitive but tbh just pick whatever looks cool

[sour jewel]

Crowstorm scales off minion dmg/critc and critdmg or heros stats? Also what about companion damage nodes, does it amplify companion's ability dmg?

[faint cape]

It scales from the crows' stats.

[sour jewel]

what about companion damage? is it the same as minion damage?

[faint cape]

Crows are companions, so that applies to them and their skills

[candid elm]

Companions are like a special subset of Minions. https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/companions

[faint cape]

Companion is a type of minion

[sour jewel]

tyvm

[tired helm]

Actually curious with the wording they’re using…So I guess you can’t just summon one companion then? You can’t use the companion ability otherwise unless you have to hit the limit? 🤔

I never played Primalist so I don’t really know how any of his skills even work lol

[candid elm]

There's Primalist Passives that give you just one strong Companion

[tired helm]

LE Primalist = D2 Druid?

[candid elm]

The part about the ability that you highlighted - Companions have a Companion Ability that you can also manually activate once you're at the companion limit

Example, Wolves have Howl

If you have 1 Wolf out and can have max 2 Companions, the Summon Wolf button will not turn into Howl until you have 2 Wolves out

[tired helm]

I think I meant to clarify and actually ask if it has to be the same companion twice? Or can you have one each of two different companions? Thus being able to use two different companion abilities?

[faint cape]

They can be whatever minions, it just changes when you can't summon any more

[candid elm]

You can have multiple different companions. The summon buttons change from Summon X Companion to use Companion X Ability once you've hit the companion limit

[tired helm]

Okay gotcha 🙂

[winged ore]

How do you access the MTX shop in-game? Do you need Epoch Points just to browse the shop itself?

[surreal verge]

Isn't the a shop button right beside the portal button right beside your mana?

[winged ore]

It's greyed out, as is the Cosmetics tab

the hotkeys also do not work

[native sail]

Are you offline?

[winged ore]

O.O

<_<

_>

Maaaaaaybe

[native sail]

That would be why

[winged ore]

I don't know why I didn't think of that... >_<

[native sail]

I don't exactly understand why it's like that but it is

[winged ore]

Will MTX I purchase be usable on offline characters?

[surreal verge]

Probably?

[pastel pebble]

I believe so

[native sail]

No, they won't.

There's been some complaints on it, but nobody has ever really... stuck to bringing it up. They just say it once and then gloss over it pretty much permanently.

[drowsy hornet]

how much importance should I put on the tool tip dps number when gearing

[sterile bane]

who has no desire to play D4 at all

https://tenor.com/view/this-guy-moana-youre-welcome-maui-gif-9761323

[winged ore]

It takes into account a lot of parameters (crit chance, multipler, added damage, increased damage, etc..), but there are some passivr nodes that won't augment the tooltips. I tend to use the training dummies in Heoboria as my damage calculators.

[mental prism]

can anyone help me understand how tags work with spell specializations, I'm using a planner and see that Arcane ascendance gains the lightning tag when taking superconductor node, but teleport doesnt get fire/ice/lightning tag when taking the elemental dawn node, what's the difference?

[faint cape]

Tags are manually applied, so they may be inaccurate. Realistically, arcane ascendance should have a lightning tag at base since it deals lightnung DOT at base. Skills should not gain any tags for proccing skills that have their own spec tree (so teleport is correct).

Sounds like AA is bugged

!bug

[worldly cosmos]

Do mob spawns change for a number of the classes, mostly played necro and sorcerer but mixing it up with a druid and marksman. On my marksman there is a particular mob which I have not seen with the other 3 classes, so are mob spawns linked to the class played or not?

[surreal verge]

No

Rngesus is messing with you.

[worldly cosmos]

Same stage of the story and first time I've seen this mob with a larger maelstrom attack

[sick basalt]

are there any stages

where can i farm

shared cold dmg?

[surreal verge]

Mark them on your loot filter and pray

[sterile bane]

i rubberband a lot. is that my internet my computer or the game?

[surreal verge]

Most likely net. You can test with offline

[sterile bane]

i prob cant even do monos here

[snow tusk]

I saw on the wiki that Stone Tablet relics are tagged as "Can't drop", where do you get those, then? I want the unique one Stormcarved Testament

[sinful laurel]

Only drops from lagon in ending the storm

[snow tusk]

but only the unique verson, then?

[sinful laurel]

That's the only version. Stone tablets aren't a base you can get outside of the unique

[snow tusk]

ok I see, thanks a lot!

[craggy bronze]

anyone know if the node lay waste on drain life applies the "does not leech health" to other forms of leech such as spell damage leach?

[surreal verge]

It should only apply to the 30% that it inately has

[craggy bronze]

k

[polar holly]

is lvl 100 the max level? im at 100 but i think my xp bar is moving albeit very slowly

[surreal verge]

100 is the max.

[sterile bane]

they started at the max. there is no reason to go above 100

[amber void]

if a skill with multiple components like judgment have the spell tag, that mean that both parts (initial hit and consecrated ground) benefit from spell damage or only one part?

[candid elm]

Consecrated Ground default scaling tags are: Fire, Spell, Damage over Time, Area.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/consecrated_ground

[amber void]

but that skill also have the melee tag

[candid elm]

Judgement has Melee scaling tag, Consecrated Ground doesn't.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/judgement

[amber void]

so that mean spell damage benefit both?

[candid elm]

And Consecrated Ground gets increased Spell Damage from Healing Effectiveness. +1 Spell Damage per 5% Healing Effectiveness

[candid elm]

Yes, they both have scaling tags for Fire, Spell, Damage over Time, and Area. correction, just Fire. Not Spell.

[balmy current]

No, the melee hit won't scale with spell damage nor DoT damage.

[candid elm]

Hmmm is this page combining the tags? https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/judgement

I'm not in front of my computer to check in game right now

[surreal verge]

Yes, and so does in-game

It will list all tags

Unless you disabled something (Like removing con ground)

[candid elm]

So is it just Fire damage on both?

[surreal verge]

Yes

Fire damage and attunement is the only thing that will scale BOTH.

(Most of the time you aim to scale one of them)

[candid elm]

@amber void hey I was mistaken. Spell Damage isn't on both. Fire is on both, but not Spell.

[surreal verge]

Only the relevant part.

[amber void]

the consecrated is spell and the initial hit is melee?

[dense root]

scaling tags are weird with skills that do multiple things

[surreal verge]

Yes

[surreal verge]

Mostly because everything is mixed together

[sterile bane]

whats the first mono level?

[surreal verge]

68?

[faint cape]

Yeah, technically speaking the tags of Judgment are correct, since the melee attack does deal spell damage over time by triggering Consecrated Ground. It's just not obvious by reading the tags, but iirc the skill description does clarify which parts do what.

[sterile bane]

damn im far

[faint cape]

You can always check mono levels by looking at the map

[sterile bane]

im not that yet

[balmy current]

55

[surreal verge]

You can TECHNICALLy access them as soon as you unlock end of time

There's nothing stopping you

[sterile bane]

really???

im going to look next time i play then

[knotty tinsel]

good luck

[surreal verge]

You can even teleport back to end of time right now and open it up

[sterile bane]

im not in game anymore

[knotty tinsel]

well that would make it a little harder I suppose

[surreal verge]

Oh-

[sterile bane]

computer was getting hot and i was tired of rubberbanding

most of my deaths were due to rubberbanding, some were my own fault though

[sterile bane]

whats AoD

[surreal verge]

Aura of Decay

From Lich

[sterile bane]

next time i login ill ask bout monos. i realyl want to do them to test out my internet and to see if i can even complete 1 and adjust from there

[amber void]

it's me or lagon's hitbox change during the 3rd phase?

i tried to move with mana strike in my left click and my character attacked instead of moving, and i was clicking in the middle of the platform

[faint cape]

That didn't happen during the first phase, too? His hitbox should always cover almost the entire platform.

[amber void]

only in the 3rd, i had no problem with the first

during the first phase i could maneuver to dodge his attack, but the 3rd, as soon as i tried to move, my character started to attack

[lean pewter]

Are leagues or similar system planned and if not how will the game be supported and kept alive after the launch?

[native sail]

There will be cycles, which are LE's version of "leagues"

Unlike PoE and Diablo though, nobody will miss out as all content will be released in standard and the cycle AND offline at the same time. The actual cycle refresh is effectively optional and only matters for leaderboards and economy

[sacred kindle]

Is crit chance for spells calculated by (5% base + flat added %) * increased %/100?

Because with that I get 94.62% and vs dummys I never see a white number

Does the game do some rounding?

[sinful laurel]

Char sheet crit doesn't take into account conditional crit chance affixes or crit chance within skills.

Generally

[sacred kindle]

Ignored all char sheet stuff

Calculated by hand

[sinful laurel]

Then you are likely missing an affix somewhere

Your formula is correct

[sacred kindle]

Weird checked affixes again

Didnt find anything

[sinful laurel]

What spell?

[sacred kindle]

Glacier

[sinful laurel]

Hmm not sure

[faint cape]

The game does do some rounding. Not in the calculations, but in the numbers displayed on affixes with rolls. This is most noticeable on small values like flat crit. Assuming you did all your calculations right, this could cause a bit of error.

[sick rampart]

is there a effective corruption lvl for farming lvl 60+ with at least 2lp uniques?

[sinful laurel]

Corruption doesn't directly influence LP at all

[surreal verge]

You want to farm LP? Go empowered and pray.

[sick rampart]

oh really? so it doesnt matter if im sitting at 100 corruption or 500?

[surreal verge]

(empowered matters because it bumps the area level to 100)

[surreal verge]

Nope.

[sick rampart]

the odds are all the same for lp?

[surreal verge]

Yes.

[sick rampart]

damn

wth am i doing

[surreal verge]

(Corruption helps only by giving you more drops, AKA more chances)

[sinful laurel]

In general you will see more uniques so you will overall have more chances but that's it

[sick rampart]

im just farming owobyss

cuz i want that amulet with 1 lp

[sinful laurel]

Pushing corruption is only for personal goals after a certain point. I usually farm around 3-400 corr

[sick rampart]

and maybe a 2lp axe if thats not asking too much

[surreal verge]

200corruption is all you need really

[surreal verge]

Hahahahahahaha

[sinful laurel]

Lol

[sick rampart]

i've been getting one shoted here all day at corruption 700 thinking if it was worth it the pain

should've asked this sooner smh

[thin tinsel]

@surreal verge You two are laughing but some guy posted a 3lp one ingame yesterday, insane

[sinful laurel]

Doesn't change the fact that it's funny :). Crazy lucky assholes

[surreal verge]

Damn

[sick rampart]

and another one replied to that 3lp apathy maw with another 3lp apathy maw 🥹

[sterile widget]

3LP Apathy? Joisus

Y'all trade folks won't have enough gold for that

Actually.... doesn't chat include offline players, who might.. tweak... their character?

[surreal verge]

Yes they could

Anyway

[sick rampart]

what do you mean? offline players will have access to chat and trading as well?

[sterile widget]

Currently, offline players can access chat

I would expect that once true offline is implemented, chat would not be available

[sick rampart]

yeah it should be a feature for playing offline as i would thought

but what do you mean with tweaking character? do you mean cheating?

[sterile widget]

Offline characters are stored on your PC. There are character editors available. I wont say anything more here other than at least one person who has posted on Discord got a virus using one

[sick rampart]

oh damn

[sterile widget]

So yeah, not saying those 3LP Apathy are fake, but it is a bit suss for sure

[sick rampart]

so people could just get a 4lp lvl 80+ unique all max rolls and still post it in game chat??

[sterile widget]

Yes

[sick rampart]

damn thats tough

now im starting to think that offline being unable to interact with chat is kinda of a must and not a feature

(i usually turn chat off cause it distracts me)

[sterile widget]

Or separate chats. 🙂

[sick rampart]

or that, yeah

well

that 3lp apathy maw gave me hope to find one someday

now im starting to doubt if ill ever get one

[sterile widget]

Apathy LPL is 65. I'd treat it similar to 2LP Prism Wraps

Prism Wraps LPL is 90. I think I've heard of 2 or 3 since online came out.

[sick rampart]

i would never expect something more than 1lp on a 90 lvl item

but that is legit poggers

[sterile widget]

Yah. Pretty mental 🙂

Like that chap with the 2LP Wings

That's pretty much the rarest item I've heard

Maybe it was 1LP...

[knotty tinsel]

1lp already would be crazy

but uh... yeah... cautionary tale against impulsively Julra slamming items I guess

[sick rampart]

1lp on an unique chest is an absolute win imo. chests affix are probably the best defense wise so anything you get with that 1lp is probably going to be a win-win no matter what

[sterile widget]

Honestly. It isn't the worst

[knotty tinsel]

it's not the worst but I kick myself so much for not just waiting for the perfect oppotunity

[sick rampart]

at least you got the 12 vit in tho

[sterile widget]

For the t7 Vitality or the t7 + skill

I feel that

[knotty tinsel]

for a build that uses it at all LOL

[sterile widget]

😄

[knotty tinsel]

at least it looks nice in my stash

[sterile widget]

Level requirement makes this the best levelling armour you got I bet

[sick rampart]

btw

should i try my luck with a 2lp firestarter torch or keep farming for a 3lp?

[knotty tinsel]

wouldn't go that far XD

but this isn't the chat channel I realize, my bad

[sterile widget]

I got a 3LP Urzils the other day

[knotty tinsel]

this one missed on max t5 str and vitality which I was gunning for

but it's still served me well

[sterile widget]

T5 strength on it would be bonkers for sure 😄

Stronk armour

[sturdy crane]

Why is the discovered part empty? I saw 3 blessings when killing the boss the first time, how do I "discover" a blessing? Do I need to select every single one throughout the game to discover it?

[worldly cosmos]

From what I've read it's mostly rng

Just keep farming points for the boss and kill it

Been trying to get the unique armour chance blessing for a titan heart farm for any with lp

Gave up and levelling alts now

[sterile widget]

It should show all those that appeared on a boss kill. I think you found a bug. Is it still there after re log ?

[sturdy crane]

But shouldn't the ones I saw show up in the discovered window? Not even the one I have selected is there 😂

Hm, will try reloging

[sterile widget]

If it still missing after re log
!bug

[ripe brook]

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

[sturdy crane]

Okay, after relog I see them
Should I still bug report this?

[sterile widget]

Yeah. Might as well.

Never know... it might be caused by something that can fix some other bug somewhere

[sturdy crane]

Since when do we need a Steam Account to login to the forums? Oo

[tired helm]

Looks like you might be experiencing the weird "login loop" I was experiencing the other month 🤔

[sturdy crane]

So is this a bug too? Or do I actually need to login with Steam to post on the official forums?

[tired helm]

Well to clarify a bit more...

I would log in with my Steam account but then when the page refreshed itself after doing so, it appeared as if I never logged in at all.

[surreal verge]

Yes you do need to login with steam

[worldly cosmos]

It's just another login method, I use it for poe

[sturdy crane]

I see... that sucks ass, why was that added? Just a few months ago I could login with the lastepoch.com account I had directly, why the extra step?
( https://forum.lastepoch.com/u/Wissle )

[surreal verge]

No clue honestly. Verification?

[sick rampart]

i might be wrong, but i think that when i started playing this game (0.9) it immediately asked me to login with steam

[tired helm]

I should probably try to log into the forums again last today. See if I'm still experiencing that issue Averielle helped me with reporting.

[worldly cosmos]

Last time I used forum was before Xmas, but yeah no option outwith steam now

[thin tinsel]

does anyone know if you keep your gazes of uwubyss when you do the new corruption reducing thing?

[tired helm]

The internet has ruinined me...I am unable to not read this as uwu-byss 😅

[thin tinsel]

you are welcome 😉

[sturdy crane]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/blessing-screen-not-showing-discovered-blessings/55288
Already existed, I piled onto that, heh

[sick rampart]

you do

[tired helm]

Interesting...I haven't discovered any blessings yet.

Then again the furthest I've gotten was unlocking like 4 idol slots before losing my "Deathless" tag

[sick rampart]

you discover them once you start doing monoliths, that you'll probably access after you "finish" the main campaign

[tired helm]

okay yeah I'm a long way from that then lol

[thin tinsel]

thanks!

[thin tinsel]

you can go into monoliths pretty early tho, the moment you choose your mastery to be exact

if your build can handle it at that point is another discussion

[tired helm]

Yeah I have to remake my Sentinel next time I hop on the game though. I kind of got a bit reckless fighting this Armory/Forge-whatever boss and died super quick to its lava attacks lol

[thin tinsel]

oh you play hardcore? well... have fun i guess lol

[sick rampart]

i dont think thats hardcore, you just have that tag if you havent died once yet

i had it untill i started doing monoliths, so i wouldnt recommend getting there before finishing the main content, unless you know what you're doing

[tired helm]

yeah wasn't hardcore. Just regular character but got sad when I realized I no longer had "Deathless" 😦

[thin tinsel]

ah ok, didnt even know about that tag o.O

btw are there any commands in the game like /played in WoW?

[tired helm]

Hmm...I'm not sure. I don't think so though. LE is more arpg than mmo in my opinion

[sick basalt]

up until the story ends atm?

[native sail]

What?

[sick basalt]

i meant up until what quest the story ends atm

[native sail]

The story ends after chapter 9

For now

[sick basalt]

what is this X?

i failed a quest?

[pastel pebble]

Skill issue

[sick rampart]

yes

git gud

jk

you chose another ending for that specific quest

[pastel pebble]

Its because you gave it to gamble man instead

[sick rampart]

so yes, you failed that one objective

[sick basalt]

i didnt even noticed

wait so

[native sail]

That quest has two endings basically. I believe it's the only one like that.

[sick basalt]

the story atm still ends at the battle of snake god?

[native sail]

Mhm

[sick rampart]

yes

[sick basalt]

ok ok

[native sail]

To my knowledge, chapters 10 through 12 are post-1.0

It's a weird decision that I don't really understand but if that's what they need in order to make their work manageable, so be it

[pallid flicker]

yo if someone wanted to be included in the stream shoutouts what would he have to do ?

[faint cape]

Yep, seems like they took the path of improving current chapters first to prep for a big launch, then release the future ones probably each alongside a new cycle

[faint cape]

Pretty sure it's automatic, just make sure your thing is tagged as LE

[sick rampart]

does chance to dodge modifiers stacks?

cause i got 3 of them and i aint hitting shit

[pallid flicker]

turns out i was shouted out but im dumb

[pallid flicker]

as in +% dodge ?

they do

[sick rampart]

the monoliths enemies modifiers

[pallid flicker]

aaaaah yeah ofc they do

[sick rampart]

oh frick

no wonder

[pallid flicker]

what corruption are you on ? do you need help ?

[sick rampart]

nah its fine

its just annoying really

but can get it through. thanks tho 🙂

[austere aurora]

Is the best way to farm Flayer's Pride to run Fall of the Outcasts or to farm nodes in The Black Sun?

[sick rampart]

thats a boss drop, it can only be dropped by defeating the boss from fall of the outcasts timeline

[austere aurora]

ah thanks!

I hadnt realized those nodes couldnt drop boss items

[faint cape]

Yeah, they are just +X flat dodge rating to every mob (X depends on level). Some magic/rare mobs have dodge rating mods as well, which adds on to that.

Might get scaled in effect by corruption/distance, too? Most modifiers are

[sick rampart]

oh that would make sense too

[sterile bane]

how long does lost rewards by death last on mono?

[dense root]

what do you mean?

[sterile bane]

it says i lost reward because i died but if i do it again can i get the reward?

[surreal verge]

Oh dear.

No.

[dense root]

no you can't

[surreal verge]

The moment you die in a node all node rewards are gone

Poof

No recovery.

[dense root]

if you look at the echo in the timeline the reward icon will be gone

[sterile bane]

forever?

[dense root]

yes

[sterile bane]

oh damn.

well time to go back to campaign

does the echo reset though if you do a boss or something?

[dense root]

if you kill orobyss it resets the entire timeline

[surreal verge]

You can still clear the node, you just don't get anything out of it.

(IT still unlocks the further nodes.)

[sterile bane]

well im still underleveled

[minor vigil]

you're probably going to be lower than monolith level unless you've spent a long time just grinding in the same area/mono

which is fine, you're not expected to be at the level of your monolith

nor does it make a huge difference

[pallid flicker]

hey yall anyone know if crimson shroud effects from multiple sources stack ?

[faint cape]

Yes, up to 3

[pallid flicker]

what i mean is that you can get crimson shroud from shift and your passives and more if you have it on two the bonuses per stack are doubled or ?

[knotty tinsel]

crimson shroud is the same buff regardless of where you're getting it from, so only one at a time

[native sail]

It's just one buff, you can't have multiple instances of it. Any sources you have of it just bring a stack up to the max of 3, you can't have 2 counts of 3 stacks.

[knotty tinsel]

practically speaking more than one source of crimson should be redundant, and if your one means of getting it has bad uptime then it's probably better to pick something else entirely

[pallid flicker]

thanks alot ! that clarified things 🙂

[broken galleon]

at which point does armor shred fall off?

[dense root]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/armor

[pallid flicker]

wow thats a great resource

[dull hawk]

Are there any super duper cheese way to level quickly to 100 that I am to dumb to find ?

[dense root]

not really

leveling is pretty quick though

[livid terrace]

Loot filters not showing

[livid terrace]

Shatter strike (if you are playing hardcore. Only 1 skill respec at most)

[sterile bane]

there is a portal you can use to go to town??

i never knew that

i have one spot blocked in my idol spot but my map says i have all the rewards. did i possibly start the quest but i didnt finish it?

[native sail]

Nope, if it is the direct center that isn't a slot, it's just solid

[sterile bane]

ugh. thank you

is there a map online that shows every waypoint in game so i know if i missed any?

[knotty tinsel]

I don't think so but getting every waypoint sounds supremely tedious

so long as you have the ones in the towns and dungeons you're good, the rest you unlock just by progressing

[sterile bane]

well i just want to make sure i get all of them

[knotty tinsel]

that's an interesting goal, the best I can recommend is mousing all over the world map after completing the story to see which ones you missed (those areas will have an empty star indicator, whereas waypoints unlocked are blue stars).

[sterile bane]

ohhhhhhhhhhhh

so if it has an empty star theres a waypoint there if there is just a black hole there isnt?

[knotty tinsel]

empty octagon = there's no waypoint here, empty star in octagon = you haven't found it yet, blue star in octagon = congrats you can warp here

[snow tusk]

I'm just doing the first monolith and then did a fight and after I got to some sort of altar where I need to choose to reduce corruption

but the big box only have 0 as an option to pick and the box doesn't go away

can't even x it out

[amber void]

does the map lvl affect the chance of getting LP once you reach a map with effective LP?

[native sail]

(There is one area that has a thing saying it has a missed waypoint but that area doesn't actually have a waypoint)

[knotty tinsel]

oh god does it really that's a completionists nightmare

[tired helm]

oh you guys must be talking about the Forbidden Gardens waypoint

yeah the world map says there is supposed to be a waypoint in that zone but EHG forgot to program/add it inside the actual zone, lol

[tired helm]

#❔┃ask-the-community message

[sterile bane]

anyone watching the stream? i dont have twitch and wanted to post a question

[cinder fossil]

you can put questions in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs and mike will probably answer it

[sterile bane]

he does better on stream to be honest. i need to get twitch

[thin tinsel]

so.. how do i calculate my minion dodge % chance, because it only shows the raw number in the character stat sheet :/

[tired helm]

Let your minion get attacked 100 times and count how many attacks it dodges. That number is your dodge % 😜

[thin tinsel]

https://tenor.com/view/notice-damn-aint-nobody-got-time-for-that-gif-11963772

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/dodge

is this site up to date?

[sinful laurel]

Should be

[thin tinsel]

because the in game guide says 10 times the area lvl(which should be 1000 max right?) should be roughly 50% dodge

so with 1000 dodge rate

the calculator should say 50% but it says 30

[sinful laurel]

Don't trust char sheet

[thin tinsel]

no not char sheet, talking about the ingame GUIDE

the press G one 😄

ah i guess i will just ask mike if the site is accurate

[sick rampart]

That's a bug. You have to leave game (return to characters screen) to get rid of that

[faint cape]

Area level affects LP chance, yes. Not sure what you mean with the second part of that, though.

[amber void]

if i understood correctly, the map need to be a minium level to have chance of droping uniques with LP, depending of the item
Ex: Peak of the mountain have lvl 0 on effective lvl for legendary potential
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzBMoVgNiA

[faint cape]

There is no minimum level for LP - as long as the unique can drop, it can get 4LP. Effective level just modifies how rare LP is (higher level means more rare).

[amber void]

so if an item have, let's say 40 effective lvl, tht mean i can get it in maps under that level, BUT is more unlikely?

[dense root]

if you can drop a unique it can have lp

(this does not apply to quest uniques which i guess technically "drop" on the ground but can never have lp)

the effective level for legendary potential is just a number that gets plugged into a larger formula (which we do not know) that determines how likely each amount of lp is for any given unique

[austere aurora]

Does Flayer's Pride (and other boss uniques) have better odds of dropping in empowered?

[strange cove]

hrmf is there a way to check thorn totem's dps somehow?

as in, i'd like to check how much it changes with +1 attunement, etc

[surreal verge]

Indirectly,maybe.

[gleaming phoenix]

hihi just got the game... any advice on a build to start playing and have a decent time while learning the mechanics?

[surreal verge]

Whatever you like. The campaign is forgiving and the only thing you can’t respec is your subclass choice

[faint cape]

Higher "item rarity" increases drop chance and higher area level increases LP chance of the ones that drop.

[faint cape]

The most accurate assessment would be through math. There's no tooltip for minions.

You can also always use dummies, though small stuff like 1 attunement will probably not be noticeable

[strange cove]

The problem with math here is that I don't even know the base. And I don't think totems attack dummies

[vale lake]

Swarmblade's swarm strike, the damage over time/swarm around you part, it doesn't hit right ? Behaves like a dot I'm guessing ?

[strange cove]

I guess I could guess the base if there are no increases, but..

[sturdy crane]

How do blessings that buff certain item type drop rates work?
Does everything else drop less to compensate?

[surreal verge]

No you just get more afaik

(Get a second opinion)

[floral badge]

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

[sterile bane]

is the giant crab meat mission bugged?

[sterile bane]

damn waves are hard as a rogue mm

[faint cape]

Totems will attack at least the dummy that "counts as an enemy". The base for things can always be looked up on LETools or TunkLab.

[faint cape]

Locust Swarm cannot hit, it deals melee DOT.

[dull hawk]

My equipment is dissapearing, anyone had this bug lately?

[surreal verge]

Did you lose stats? If not it's visual, teleport to somewhere else to fix it

[dull hawk]

No no, my ring is gone

[dense root]

try relogging

[dull hawk]

Last night before I logged off, I got Ribbons of blood, and got excited because of a build idea

Today, it's taken from my storage and equipped

[molten yacht]

Hi, is there a way to queue with random people or is it just based on individual invite to do group things?

[surreal verge]

The latter.

There's no matchmaking

[molten yacht]

Aha, you think they might add this in future?

[surreal verge]

No info.

(It's an ARPG not an MMO, bet's on no)

[molten yacht]

kk thank you for your help

[faint cape]

There might be better LFG tools in game eventually, but nothing set in stone

[molten yacht]

I would like to play in party but none of my friends play this game so I guess I will ask people randomly at some point.

[austere aurora]

Something like D3's Adventure Mode for Last Epoch would be fantastic. I'd love to just randomly queue into groups for monos

[faint cape]

There is the #👥┃lfg channel here for that purpose as well as the one in-game. I don't know how effective either is since I don't use them, but hopefully you can find some people you enjoy playing with there or in some other LE-related chat.

[molten yacht]

That sounds good thx

[sterile bane]

does any character sync with frostbite?

[faint cape]

sync? There are frostbite builds for primalist and mage. Not sure about any of the others.

[sinful laurel]

Rogue too

[sterile bane]

i just got a boot that gives frostbite so i was wondering if there is a build that can use it better than what im using now

[sinful laurel]

Yes there are several. Snowdrift basically makes frostbite scale off of freeze rate multi.

So if you can get a good frostbite chance you can make it work

[native sail]

Snowdrift is basically mmandatory for frostbite builds

[faint cape]

Yep, and do be mindful that "freeze rate per stack of chill" doesn't count for snowdrift

[native sail]

I still use it because haha funny freeze

[faint cape]

Tbf, freeze is a really strong defensive layer

[sterile bane]

its helping and id ont even use freeze as a skill

[faint cape]

If you build into it enough, you can lockdown mono bosses a good portion of the time (at least, until they get too much health from corruption and mods)

[sinful laurel]

Yup. My FB rogue can almost Perma freeze all but heorot

VO/ib mage too, even more so

[sterile bane]

herot is a boss?

[sinful laurel]

Yeah

Immune to freeze

[faint cape]

Lagon is also immune to freeze (and stun, too)

[sinful laurel]

Oh right. True

[sterile bane]

im at lagon now
