[surreal verge]

And so is a good chunk of the game

[latent canyon]

In timeline boss fights everyone in the party can die infinite times too and still get drops

Solo players be like

[sterile bane]

i never said it was hard i said that i dont seethe point in mp in mono but doing it in campaign can be fun since you level at the same time

[latent canyon]

If you are not the "host" dying doesn't even cost any stability

[lament tundra]

yeah but hard to find people same progress

[sterile bane]

just start a new character with someone and during cycle itll be easy

actually its prob a good idea during cycle to go do campaign as mp to finish quick and move on

[latent canyon]

Also if you don't die at all you should be the one that's picking the echoes not your party member who dies all the time

In that case you wont be losing any rewards, only your party member who dies

[flint grail]

Is Onmividence used in any VK build?
I really wanted to get it on release but couldn't and now that I got it I can't find a build using it...
Any tips? I'm not great at build planning, rather follow a build and tweak it.

[vale lake]

If I kill an orobyss that would give me +20 corruption while being at 180c, would that orobyss have a chance to drop Omnis ?

[knotty tinsel]

yes

[surreal verge]

Ye

[vale lake]

👍 ty

I expected a no but wanted to be sure, that's interesting

[sterile bane]

is there a cap on stats, ie vitality str int etc?

[native sail]

Not really but there's obviously a limit to how much you can acquire due to availability of items and such

[dense root]

you can get pretty high though

[sterile bane]

i mean ive seen 40s and thats without maxing out passives

[native sail]

Here's an example, I have a Paladin with like 116 attunement iirc

[sterile bane]

see, so it can get high. i mean 116 attunement is crazy

[near path]

100+ on one stat is relatively easily doable

120-130+ is when you'd need some truly insane gear

[native sail]

I wouldn't say easily, it depends on class

[near path]

I guess vit would be the easiest to stack perhaps, just because of idols

[near path]

True, meant relatively

[sterile bane]

would you say you have maxed out the passives available for it @native sail

[native sail]

Oh yeah

And have multiple pieces of exalted attunement gear

[near path]

Do you have Judgement gloves with t7 attunement?

[native sail]

Not yet

[near path]

[native sail]

I only get awful rolls of those with more than 1LP

[sterile bane]

do you think having guids/clans just to make things more socialable is worth it?

[near path]

I'm antisocial so idgaf

[native sail]

I personally don't see a reason to bring in a clan system

[near path]

All my socializing is Discord only

[native sail]

You can't give it any gameplay impact without ruining solo play, and if it's just for social stuff, we already have a friend list system and... well, Discord exists.

[sterile bane]

yea that does make sense. im not in favor or against it as i listne to podcasts while i play anyway

i wish i wouldve seen this kickstarter back in the day

[surreal verge]

In an ARPG it's pretty eh. You'll just use it as a chatroom more or less.

[sterile bane]

like i said, hearing mike talk about it on stream it makes sense.

[snow raven]

Hey guys , anyone knows a beginners Guide what teatcheting The basics for people have never played the game before ??

Is my First contact with The game and im Very Lost about what to do

and i have some difficult to find one build to follow.

[sterile bane]

https://tenor.com/view/onwaaard-zombie-orpheus-the-gamers-hands-of-fate-tghof-gif-17172247

[quick escarp]

if you press G in game you'll get a great deal of info

also like, pretty much any build will get you through the game, even if it's not a top-tier minmax sweat build it'll work

[sterile bane]

you might even know more than me since i never tried it

[quick escarp]

it's like... in PoE, if you make your own build, you'll hit a wall around act 8 and not be able to continue no matter how much gear you farm
then you go find a random build guide on the forums, and follow it to the letter, and it gets you all the way through yellow maps... then you find out actually the build was from 3 patches ago and wasn't even very good back then, because the forum guides don't actually convey anything about how viable a build is, they're all just listed side-by-side, and now your build literally just can't do red maps no matter what
then you decide 'fuck it' and you just play the top tier build that everyone else is playing

LE is not like that! in LE, if you spend your skill points and passive points intelligently, your build will be able to complete the campaign, get you to empowered monoliths, and probably even get you up to 100 corruption or so. pretty much every skill in the game is 'viable' in this sense.

[sterile bane]

@quick escarp unless you suck like me and still cant get to empowered

[quick escarp]

yeah i guess on reflection some builds will have trouble with certain bosses, especially since lagon is still bugged where his hurtbox is like a mile behind the arena so any skills that 'require a target' rather than just hitting an area or being shift-clickable literally can't hit him

what build are you playing?

[sterile bane]

im playing MM. i also have serious lag due to my lcation

[quick escarp]

ahhh... lag can definitely hurt, especially certain builds

MM means like, physical bow shredder? or that weird cold spell cast-on-hit build? there's a lot of different marksman builds lol

[sterile bane]

bow shredder

and i got the fury bow that has ancient flight

though that cold build looks a lot mroe viable

[quick escarp]

man, i'm thinking about how bow shredder would work with a lot of lag, and it hurts... the whole point of that build is that like, all of your defensive layers are about not getting hit in the first place, by keeping the enemy away from you

but in lag that wouldn't really work would it

[sterile bane]

EXACTLY

[quick escarp]

maybe try a build that isn't so reliant on low latency?

minion builds would work, since (i think) the minion AI is handled server-side, so they won't experience lag?

[sterile bane]

ohhh im doing that now

[quick escarp]

you could try flame skelemage spectre necro maybe?

[sterile bane]

that Mm will ahve to be shelved for now

[quick escarp]

that's a popular build right now, i bet it's pretty good

just like, stack all the minions, put all your skill points into turning them into fire minions

it's pretty easy to build

[sterile bane]

im doing squireel bleed

[quick escarp]

oh that's prolly even better, if you have the squirrel unique

[sterile bane]

not yet

working on it

[native sail]

Skelemage is directly worse than Wraiths

[sterile bane]

what is the lvl 58 mono boss?

[knotty tinsel]

abromination

[quick escarp]

its the necrotic one, where you have to kill the 4 soul repository things before he becomes damagable

in the 4 corners of the arena

[sterile bane]

fall of the outcasts

ohh yea that one is easy

i can def do that one

i didnt know u had to bill the reporistiers first and the first time i played that level i kept dying

[quick escarp]

but it tells you to....

doesn't it?

[sterile bane]

yea it does

xD

[sterile bane]

you have to defeat the mono twice to get lvl 62 and lvl 66 monos open?

[knotty tinsel]

once each yes

and then if you do the same on the lagon one you can access all of them

[sterile bane]

what do you mean if you do the same?

[knotty tinsel]

also pick both paths once each

[sterile bane]

is there a loophole to it or do i have to do it twice so everything unlocks proply?

that was def easier than with MM

[desert tree]

When you reach empowered all the waypoints unlock

[sterile bane]

but to reach empower dont i have to beat all of them?

[knotty tinsel]

https://tenor.com/view/the-what-smile-whut-weird-stare-gif-16592004

oops.

[native sail]

No only the 3 level 90 ones

[sterile bane]

really???

[native sail]

Mhm

[desert tree]

??

[desert tree]

Yep

[sterile bane]

ohh but you have to finish the monos in normal before you can do it in empowered right?

[native sail]

Yeah

Wait

No

I misunderstood what you meant

You can do all monos in empowered as soon as you unlock empowered

[desert tree]

The most effecient way is to do
Fall of the outcast
Rayeh
Lagon
The dragon one
And the the last top 3

Once you reach empowered everything is unlock with their regular lvl and empowered version

[sterile bane]

can someone port me to rayeh mono. i picked the lvl 62 one instead of the lvl 66 one when i defeated abonmiatnion

also if a unique is unique to a mono is it more common in empowered? NOT BOSS unique just says it drops only in mono

[native sail]

There are no uniques that ONLY drop in said monos that are not boss drops.

Uniques are either a boss drop or a world drop. Excluding the three that come from Soulfire gambling.

[sterile bane]

so if last epoch tools says a unique is common on a mono and it says its level <90 that means it drops from the boss at normal or empowered?

[knotty tinsel]

which item specificaly is this?

[sterile bane]

Effective Level for Legendary Potential: 70
Timeline to target farm: Spirits of Fire ("Unique or Set Boots" echo rewards)
Random Drop (Common)

waht does that mean?

[knotty tinsel]

it means what it says. if you want to target farm it you should be going to spirits of fire timeline

but it's a random drop so you can find it basically anywhere

[sterile bane]

but timeline meaning the two pre and then the boss?

[native sail]

No. Just... that string of monoliths.

[sterile bane]

got it

[knotty tinsel]

you look for "unique or set boots" echo rewards

honestly the LEtools recommendation covers it

[desert tree]

@sterile bane

[sterile bane]

i know i saw it

i told you he said it in the stream

we just have to wait and see what happens and see if the community wants that

i think if they do that then tis still a world drop/boss drop afterwards but you are guaratneed tog et it in ladder

it is a little disappointing but i still have faith

or maybe there will be items that are ladder only but they repeat

idk theres a lot of possibilities

[supple linden]

Are the servers down right now?

[sterile bane]

no im playing

[supple linden]

weird i can't get past character select

[sterile bane]

another question i have is, will there ever be a purpose for keeping all the uniques that arent part of a build. i have a feeling that having extras, like hoards of extras, will be useful soon but idk how soon

[flint grail]

From season to season you wont carry anything so not sure something like this will happen...

Not sure how long seasons will last but you will only carry MTXs

[sterile bane]

ohhh i mean for like selling or doing something else

[flint grail]

Sure, trading is coming on 1.0

[sterile bane]

a part of me thinks that you can trade with the trader

like you offer something and they offer you someting

[sterile bane]

ok i dont get what mike said

so content will never be exclusive but items arent considered content?

[naive nimbus]

Hey, in terms of Passive Points. Can I go do monoliths once I'm done in temple of Eterra, or will I miss out on the story quests' passive points rewards?

[sterile bane]

you can go back and do them

there are ppl here who power leveld here then went back to story and did it

[near path]

at least get your passive points and idol slots from the story before you start monos, just to make life easier

unless you're getting power levelled yeah

[buoyant sinew]

what it sounds like is that new gameplay experiences will never be cycle exclusive

[sterile bane]

we were asking bout items not experiences

[naive nimbus]

Awesome, thank you both! @sterile bane

[buoyant sinew]

yeah sorry, so he's saying that those could be cycle exclusive I think? because they're not considering them "new content"?

[sterile bane]

yea that sucks

because after every cycle the stuff transfers to standard so that means that if you dont get it in cycle then you cant get it

[native sail]

I'd wager they just get rolled into the game everywhere after the cycle

EHG doesn't like legacy items

[sterile bane]

i agree

[sterile bane]

@native sail like this?

[sterile bane]

xD

look at my gold

[snow raven]

thanks, i'm recently quit from PoE after 7 years and 4.5k hours played, so i'm have a little difficulty to accept the simplicity of Last Epoch, on PoE the any minimum change you make on ur build must be calculated, and u go to wiki for know all pros and cons, calculate on PoB and etc.

I'm was trying to looking for a nice bow build for marksman but all i found needs a unique specific item, but what you say, i'll adapt the build to my playstyle until im can farm the core items for a decent bow build.

So one last question, if i looking for a build to follow, what builds still function ?? the game is now on 0.91, but the builds of 0.85 for example is still functional ??

[quick escarp]

yeah, i mean, even if an S-tier build got nerfed, all that means is it's now a B-tier build

and pretty much ALL builds are viable

like, the only way to end up with an unviable build is to deliberately craft the wrong affixes

as long as you are trying to synergize your affixes and passives and skill points and stuff, you'll be fine

don't go for crit or spell damage if you're doing a DoT build, don't go for throwing attack speed if you're not using a skill with the 'thrown' tag, that kind of thing

[quick escarp]

if you check lastepochtools, i'd say pretty much every build tagged as 0.8.5 or later is viable, unless like, the description specifically says it's a joke build or something

[tender kayak]

if theres a video check what they are clearing. If its going through at least 250 corruption i would say its a decent build, otherwise you will be disappointed if you put a lot of effort to gear it and realize its meh. and most builds from 0.8.5+ should be good yep

[cedar oracle]

Has this game got ultrawide monitor support?

[dense root]

ultrawide is actually stronger than normal

you see more of the map

[cedar oracle]

Awesome so it's fully supported 👏 that's good to hear. I guess I'll start my journey in this game today

[faint cape]

Sounded like if this doesn't happen, then those items just won't get rolled over to permanent.

[hardy brook]

Is Multiplayer partying just dreadful for anyone else? I have a friend who is really enjoying the game that I'm trying to blast Echos with, and he tries to invite me to a party: 10-15 seconds before I get the invite, or it never comes through, or it says I am playing an offline character, etc...

When it finally works and we are in the same party, I click the Portal to Player button, click the portal that pops up and: My character walks to the portal which disappears after a few seconds not taking me anywhere and refusing to show up again, or I get an infinite loading screen...

When THAT finally works and we get in an Echo together, I get disconnected after like 2-5 echos, and we have to go through all the steps above again.

We also tried to do Temporal Sanctum together and one of us DC'd when transitioning through the 2nd door both times.

[sterile bane]

can someone translate this: Taking items out of the game all together is really not awesome but taking out an item that was only in a cycle isn't quite as not awesome. This means we could probably experiment with more "out there" mechanics on items without having them necessarily become evergreen in the scenario that they cause problems.

[sterile bane]

so if you remove an affix how does it determine which you can add?

[surreal verge]

What do you mean?

If you remove a prefix you can readd a prefix, if you remove a sufix you can readd a sufix

[surreal verge]

Sounds like a server issue.

[sterile bane]

ohhh damn i need to learn which are suffix and which are prefix because i wanted to remove somehting to add another and i couldnt

[surreal verge]

If the affix appears in the left in the crafting screen it's a prefix.

[sterile bane]

so for example, which of these is an prefix and which is a suffix?

[desert tree]

Some affixes are not craftable on some items too

First 2 prefixes

Last 2 suffixes

Look at the small arrow on the lines

[surreal verge]

Assuming a 4 affix item, the first two is always prefixes and the last two suffixes.

[desert tree]

Arrow at the beginning is prefix
Arrow at the end suffixes

[sterile bane]

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

ok ok well i messed up but oh well part of the game

@desert tree did you see mikes response to me?

[desert tree]

Yes, I have just re read it

[sterile bane]

i dont get what he is saying

[desert tree]

He is making 2 points
1 having cycles items might make player want to play the cycles. They don't know if EHG will need that.
2 cycles items only allow them to try weird things. If they don't work or are too powerful to stay in the game they can remove them

[sterile bane]

yea his wording is realyl weird on it.

and he also said that just because an item is avaible in ladders doesnt mean it wont be available again later right?

[desert tree]

I don't quite read that but I might be wrong

[sterile bane]

chances are im wrong

nevermind he said out there meaning the mechanics not item availability

[spark pagoda]

Hey do any hardcore specs have a suggested direction to go for defenses?

Is ward sufficient with res to keep you alive?

Sorry hardcore sorcs*

[knotty tinsel]

max resistances, max critical strike avoidance, use flame ward, and keep increasing the Ward you can rack up during fights

Investing HP and endurance takes second priority if you're confident in your ward numbers, but if not then increase those too

Though you're in hardcore so all I can say is good luck 😄 considering the shaky online structure rn expect lag to do you in at some point

[serene patrol]

I found a 3 LP keepers gloves, but i'm guessing Bee builds aren't a thing? If they were, what approach would you take with it? Im assuming primalist and minion bleed but not sure

[sterile bane]

thats right

[desert tree]

There is a rogue helmet to make a bee-coy bleed

Or a spriggan relic

[sterile bane]

i heard bout that rogue helmet but ive yet to see a build with it

[vale lake]

Could probabaly do something with Kelthan

[faint cape]

Yeah, it needs kelthan and it's basically a minion ignite build

It could be made poison, too, but I don't think it's as good

[buoyant trench]

Can you lock a piece of gear?

[surreal verge]

No.

If by lock you mean “make it undroppable or unsellable”

(I recommend not picking things you dont need up

[buoyant trench]

"make it unshardable or undroppable" yeah.

[surreal verge]

Yeah then no

[next root]

Does the "chance to summon a storm totem" on Stormcarced Testament not trigger from thorn totem hits?

Everytime I cast "Spirit Thorns" in Spriggan form it seems to trigger the storm totem, but it never triggers from the thorn totems 😐

[latent canyon]

Yes cuz totems are your minions

Your minions hitting != you hitting

[next root]

Aah, thats no fun! But it makes sense 😄

Thanks 🙂

[supple mantle]

Would the blessing Spell Cold Damage While Channelling add cold damage to a lightning Disintegrate? Would it now do both lightning and cold damage?

[knotty tinsel]

yes, it'll do both damage types, though the cold part is likely only a small portion

since any adaptive spell damage you get will still just go to fire and/or lightning

and furthermore, adding damage to an ability doesn't influence tags at all unless specified. you could do 20 cold damage and 1 fire with disintegrate, it's still a fire spell.

[supple mantle]

Gotcha. Thanks!

[low totem]

What do people generally think about Vortex Pennant for a Warpath build?

[faint cape]

It's a different way to play warpath for sure. Idk how endgame viable it is, but it was fun while leveling

[low totem]

It sounds fun just don't know how it works in execution

I assume it actually uses the hammer skill

[pastel pebble]

Dr3ad has a video detailing it IIRC

[low totem]

👍

[timid monolith]

i just got to the end of the monolith and i watched the cut scene, but when i went back to a monolith i had no option to select level 100 timeline. any suggestions? i am verifying files now

[muted holly]

sup guys, im still learning the game and i was wondering if its possible to get more than one mastery skill. Im about to get my mastery class, and i feel like taking paladin because of the passive skill buff, but the forge guard tree seems to be better for the skill that im using, can i go with Paladin only for the passive skill buff or is it a bad choice?

[pastel pebble]

You can select Paladin and pick passives from the other two until the halfway mark

Paladin provides more build diversity if you decide to change it up as you go along

Respeccing is easy enougb in this game

[muted holly]

hmm

i can go halfway then

i feel like whats interesting for me is actually in the beggning of the tree

i guess paladin would be better then

ty sir

🙂

[pastel pebble]

I dip into FG on my Void Knight myself

Have a good one! Have fun playing!

[muted holly]

holy aura seems to be pretty strong

i really want to have it in my setup

[native sail]

Holy Aura is very good

[pastel pebble]

Its a great skill!

[native sail]

Also, Forgeguard's full tree is um.. bad.

[pastel pebble]

Deias is just trying to make me cry haha

Haha

Yeah

[muted holly]

ye i had this feeling too

but i didnt knew that i could get some points even by mastering another class

[pastel pebble]

My VK runs 25 points into FG but that's just for a niche defensive choice

[native sail]

Beastmaster tax on every Primalist build

[teal osprey]

Does anyone know if the reduced health drain stat from the acolyte / lich passive trees has an impact on life lost from poison stacks (specifically the stacks that are there with aura of decay toggled on)? I'm asking b/c I recently refunded passive points out of all the reduced health drain passives and I find my aura of decay is hurting me a lot more now. I am actually losing life instead of regenerating to full right away.

[waxen sundial]

any reaon id randomly lose items?

[dense root]

mike was bored and hit the “delete a random item from a random inventory” button a couple times

[waxen sundial]

well, i went into Welryn Undercity, lost (or atleast they were hidden) my boots, rings, ammy, belt, and relic. Went back up, and they came back lol

[near path]

known bug

[sterile bane]

@slender gazelle whats your ping?

[faint cape]

You have to touch the thing featured in that cutscene to unlock the level 100 stuff

[faint cape]

Damage is not health drain. Something else is causing your issue (could be actual health drain in your build you're no longer reducing, or something unrelated)

[teal osprey]

I checked all my passives / gear and I don't have any sources of health drain (which is why I decided to respec out of it). The only thing I can think of is that I also lost 25% health regen, which is only like 3 or 4 health regen per sec... I can't imagine that that could have such a large impact though...could it?

[faint cape]

I don't think so, but if you specced into more damage, you might just be doing more self-damage. I haven't messed with AoD in a while, but I think the self-poison scales with your damage.

[native sail]

It does

It unironically is more dangerous to you than enemies

[faint cape]

Yeah, that's basically the exact reason I don't mess with it lol

[sterile bane]

if i do a lot of different types of damage but not ebcause of my attack, minion, idol, passive, etc, is that elemental dmg?

[native sail]

Uh... elemental damage is a blanket term to collectively refer to fire, cold, and lightning damage.

I'm not quite sure about the rest of the context, because I have no idea how that would work

[sterile bane]

so if my minions do cold and lighting then thats elemental?

[native sail]

Yeah. But of the thing doesn't say "minion elemental damage" it does not apply to them.

[sterile bane]

got it

so Herald of the Scurry is not a boss drop but its a rare drop that only appears in black sun empowered?

[desert tree]

It is not a boss drop, you can find it everywhere. But black sun empowered has special reward echoes that always drop a unique/set helmet greatly improving the chance of getting the one you want

[sterile bane]

well i guess once i get empowered ill be farming that

[teal osprey]

Wait what... >.< But poison damage is a huge part of my build b/c of Plague from Spirit Plague... ugh

[native sail]

Again, the only drops that have a restricted area are boss drops and three specific uniques from Soulfire Bastipn. Every single other item in the game can drop anywhere that meets its level requirement.

[sterile bane]

so Rahyeh's Light can drop anywhere?

[native sail]

So long as the area is equal or higher than its level requirement, yes

[surreal verge]

Welcome to AoD,it’s a balancing act.

You need to balance your own poison res,hp regen, and any poison related damage,including poison pen

[sterile bane]

ahhh i get it so level requirement and item level are two differnet things?

[teal osprey]

Alright then, looks like I'm gonna respec out of it. It's not like most of my dmg is coming from AoD anyway. I think specializing in Transplant will be a lot more helpful b/c it's a movement skill.

[surreal verge]

Yea

[surreal verge]

Always build with a movement skill in mind

[native sail]

I mean, kinda. Item levels don't exist. Only level requirements.

[teal osprey]

My only movement skill so far, if it can even be considered that, is Reap in Reaper Form

[sterile bane]

item levels are levels you hae to be to use the item vs level requirement to find the item

[native sail]

They are one and the same

[teal osprey]

My life leech is through the roof so I can generally just sit and face tank bosses so I don't have much use for a movement skill

[surreal verge]

It is. If you don’t take the node where it doesnt share cd with transplant using one will out the other on cooldown

[native sail]

The level you need to use the item is the level requirement

[surreal verge]

Dots cant leech tho,so unless you’re using rotmind you’ll soon not be able to facetank

[sterile bane]

well no, necause herlad says levle requirment is 90 but to use it you have to be 76

[surreal verge]

Lagon is a great example of fucking everyone up

[sterile bane]

ok, so last epoch calls it effective level

[teal osprey]

Are you sure? Game says that DoTs can leech. And yes, I am using Rotmind anyway.

[native sail]

No. You're looking at the effective level for legendary potential, which is just a rarity scalar for the LP system and nothing to do with the dropping of it

[teal osprey]

Even before using Rotmind, I was able to leech with Spirit Plague

[surreal verge]

They can,but most common leech doesnt apply to dots

Since they spcify hit

[sterile bane]

so any mono that is lvl 76+ can drop herald?

[surreal verge]

Spirit plague can because it’s considered as a spell

[native sail]

Correct

[surreal verge]

Wait

Deias is correct

[teal osprey]

My leech is primarily from my tree so it doesn't specify "on hit", which means my DoTs can leech perfectly fine.

[surreal verge]

Then you’ll maybe be fine

Dont get one shotted-

[teal osprey]

I have 12% spell leech and 8% damage leech right now, so yeah, only one shots will be able to kill me. But that's what Reaper form is for.

[native sail]

I wouldn't say only one shots. There are many chunky hits in this game.

[surreal verge]

Lagon WILL fuck you up

Those damn beams

[native sail]

Heorot storm, all the big mobs in Soulfire, Julra beams and wave, the funny bat things that hit like 40 times a second

[sterile bane]

ok. you are always helpful

[native sail]

I try to be.

[sterile bane]

man the exp im having playing as a BM vs playing MM is HUGE

[sterile bane]

is when hit when you get hit and on hit when you hit?

[native sail]

Yup

[near path]

Exactly

[sterile bane]

damn ok

[native sail]

I'm off to rest. Work in under 8 hours.

[sterile bane]

bye

[teal osprey]

I'm not actually familiar with most of those things b/c I haven't gotten a character past 70 yet. And I haven't attempted any dungeons yet either. But it's good to know what I should be watching out for. I am used to PoE, though, so even if I could, I don't generally face tank stuff. My general play style is constantly stutter stepping and casting / attacking.

[sterile bane]

HAPPY FOURTH of JULY

[fading imp]

Is there maintenance going on rn? Suddenly i cant log in? It says steam is now required but i only got this game thru steam

[sterile bane]

so primeival dragon fire is instant death?

[surreal verge]

Don't think so

[desert tree]

The huge aoe it is charging for a good 4 seconds ? That super obvious its going to deal massive dmg ?

[sterile bane]

yea it was obvious but i didnt think bout it

[cinder pumice]

out of curiosity where can i find a unique chest peice called Voidbark

[sterile bane]

Google

[knotty tinsel]

en passant

[sterile bane]

my next class is either sentinel, acolyte, or mage. i need opinions and suggestions. i play on HIGH ping so tankiness is important

[knotty tinsel]

that's a very broad range, could be anything

probably one of the mage classes and stack a lot of passive ward?

[sterile bane]

sounds like a plan

i was going to go that summoning weapon class or lich bm but i kind of do want to try mage

[knotty tinsel]

maybe Lost knowledge spam glacier is the way to do it

but that requires a lot of gear to start off I think? not sure

[sterile bane]

ice mage looks fun but i might just look up meteor mage

do you feel once 1.0 comes out builds will start to be updated more frequenetly?

[mild tinsel]

Yo guys, is it worth going aura of decay route for the peace of mind with flame wraith's until higher corruption? or stick to abomination since the beginning?
P.S. rocking aberrant call as well

[surreal verge]

AoD also hurts you, so...

[mild tinsel]

well, absence of life should be fine

[surreal verge]

It depends on how much poison damage you have (Or if you specced into armour shred instead)

[mild tinsel]

Im necro without any increases to poison - Im rocking aberrant call and flame wraiths - so aura of decay seems like nice to have - it doesnt do much damage to me but chills enemies and heals minions a little...

[surreal verge]

Debatable, but you can try it out.

[cedar locust]

Just checked LETools and there isn't anything in LE with the name Voidbark.

In fact none of the armour or weapons have Void or Bark in the name separately.

Do you remember anything else about the item?

[knotty tinsel]

it got resolved in general chat, they got the name from chatGPT 😂

[dense root]

wait what

[cedar locust]

Welp, that's what I get for speed reading XD - Though imagine how a Chest Piece called Voidbark would look, like void infected Forest Garb or something 😊

It also sounds like a Spriggan Node - coverts X dmg to Void dmg or Thorns/Vines gain void dmg

[sterile bane]

so is there a way to clear enemy modifigers in mono?

[cedar locust]

You can complete the optional objectives and those can clear modifiers 😊

[surreal verge]

(By that I hope she meant the quest echoes)

[cedar locust]

Yeah, the quest echoes

[sterile bane]

ohhhhhhhh good to know.

[native sail]

Also the beacon type echoes (the ones that reveal a bunch of echoes for you) do not ever add on to mods so you can use those too

[sterile bane]

yea i saw those delete one

@fleet pond i like your videos

[flint grail]

Is there a better chance of getting exalted gloves on the monolith that drops unique gloves or has no relationship whatsoever? 🤔

[timid monolith]

Yup now I have to kill the bosses again oops lol

[surreal verge]

No relationship.

[lament tundra]

I think lich is bad for multiplayer as it's harder to keep up reaper form. Anyone with similar experience?

[surreal verge]

You rely on leech, so maybe?

Depends on builds

[lament tundra]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/5Q0XYqJQ

I use this one

How else to restore reaper form other than leech

[surreal verge]

Leech.

Or potions

Oh, it's a harvest build

[lament tundra]

Yeah

I leach health with harvest

Leech

But I have easier time in sp with more mobs

Any suggestions on modifying it

For party play

[latent canyon]

Oh boi harvest builds

[lament tundra]

If I use death seal and no mobs I lose form almost immediately

Which is more likely in multiplayer

And I am like 60% weaker outside reaper

I am thinking of rolling new char together

[latent canyon]

Marinas crit lich is decent.

This whole business with melee lich is just not a very good one.

[lament tundra]

Well this was the top build on tools so I thought I will just follow it leveling up but I probably need to change

There should be ratings for builds

In the website to help

[sterile bane]

i thought you said you were going to play d4 and not LE naymore

[lament tundra]

It's too expensive for d4

Atk

Waiting for sale

[sterile bane]

ohhhhh

so there are good things about LE

[lament tundra]

It's what I want

To do

But I will wait

[sterile bane]

well patience is a virtue

[lament tundra]

If I can make a build that reliably works in mp

I will play

Which is what I am trying

[sterile bane]

that all depends on what you play

[surreal verge]

It does work, but multi is another beast

[lament tundra]

I don't enjoy single player

[sterile bane]

if you play my highest level right now you would prob fly through

[surreal verge]

Lich needs targets to leech to stay at reaper, so you'll need to be faster than your allies

[lament tundra]

Yeah it's a bit hard

Should I switch to necromancer

I got lot of Necro gear

I can make new char

[surreal verge]

Necro would rely on minion AI

[sterile bane]

if you want to play multiplayer why not make a new character and have someone play with u from 0-100

[lament tundra]

I want to a smooth mp experience

[latent canyon]

Or tons of pressing A

[lament tundra]

Even with someone my level

Lich is harder mp than solo

I don't leech so I lose reaper

In solo I sustain it way more

So maybe druid

For healing

Like I want an mp focused build

[sterile bane]

there isnt one

and there wont be one

[latent canyon]

Don't recommend going support.

[sterile bane]

mike siad that on stream

he said the closest they will get is paladin

[lament tundra]

Ok but relatively

Out of all builds there are

[latent canyon]

But pally is the closest thing to a support that still maintains solo clear power

[lament tundra]

Which relatively do best in mp

Cause lich isn't it

Lich does worse in mp

[latent canyon]

Not necessarily. You can just play mp in a way that you don't group up and split instead

For max stab gains and faster objective clears

[lament tundra]

Ok I can try paladin

We miss drops though

[latent canyon]

You can port around

[sterile bane]

so you want to play a character just to play with someone?

[latent canyon]

Listen for drop sounds

[lament tundra]

Yeah cause my brother said he may get the game if it has good opportunity for us to play

Until we get d4

[sterile bane]

that seems like a waste of money

just tell him to save his money and then you can both get d4

[lament tundra]

D4 isn't ready

It will keep getting content updates

[sterile bane]

you are going to play a character so you can play with your brother and both of you want to play mp only?

this game is still in beta

and its launch date isnt even official

[lament tundra]

Yeah but I paid for le already

Neither of us paid for d4

[latent canyon]

Playing echoes only multiplayer is okay. But playing dungeons it will be not so smooth atm

[lament tundra]

What's the difference

[lament tundra]

Nvm I misread

Yes to your question

[sterile bane]

but the game is meant to be palyed mostly solo with multi as a exception not the standard

but i cant anymore

saying the same stuff over and voer is hurting my head

[lament tundra]

Meant doesn't mean anything

I am still looking for a built most compatible for mp

For all available builds

I will try paladin

Per recommendation

[surreal verge]

To be fair, they plan to make MP only as efficient as solo

But ye

It's the nature of reaper form if anything.

[sterile bane]

you mean so that you can play both smoothly and comfrotably?

[lament tundra]

Yes

[sterile bane]

well either not both

if you say so

[surreal verge]

As in efficency wise eg. getting loot

[sterile bane]

im still technically new to this only playing for like a month

[latent canyon]

Multiplayer atm is more efficient than single player.

[sterile bane]

yea he wasnt complaining about that he was complaining about difficulty before

[latent canyon]

Like a lot more efficient.

[sterile bane]

that he is one level and a friend is another and it makes things harder

[lament tundra]

Yeah cause I was dying because my built isn't good for mp

That's another reason

Reaper form is stressful

[sterile bane]

i mean you can also just build a tank build so you dont die and carry the echo/mono

[lament tundra]

In mp

For me at least so you don't just try to debunk statement xd

[latent canyon]

I thought you were the one that's not dying tho XD

[lament tundra]

Nope

[latent canyon]

Thats what you said like yesterday

[lament tundra]

Where

I said I was dying

And felt dragging friend down

But anyway if I play from start with my brother

[sterile bane]

and wasnt getting rewards because you died and couldnt resurrect

[lament tundra]

I want it to be ideal

[latent canyon]

Ahh I see nvm

[lament tundra]

I will check paladin builda

[sterile bane]

you can also both play the same build and just tank everything

[latent canyon]

Anything that uses holy aura is a supporty build.

Free res and endurance for everyone

[lament tundra]

is there anything with a bit more synergy

rather than same build

i mean he will choose whatever he wants tho if he plays lol

[surreal verge]

Not really?

[latent canyon]

There are a few

[sterile bane]

well if you are both going to start from 0 then 2 tanks might be good so you dont have to worry bout dying as much

[surreal verge]

Eg.Stuff that pops ailments only use the ones you applied.

[lament tundra]

for example holy aura adds physical damage

so if he has physical build its better

and attack speed

[latent canyon]

For example if both players do lightning dmg and one of you nukes but the other one spams. The spammer can proc shocks stacks and lightning res shred and armor shred amplifying the other players dmg

[sterile bane]

same mastery is a good idea just use different builds

[latent canyon]

If you do a lightning hammerdin smiter and your brother play a lightning sorc or something it would fit this synergy

And he gets to build around having holy aura always so easier time capping res and endurance

[lament tundra]

would two holy auras with different effects both apply

or would they overwrite each other

[latent canyon]

Idk

[surreal verge]

You'll have to find out.

[lament tundra]

sure

[surreal verge]

Because we don't know

💀

[native sail]

The different effects will apply, the same effects will just constantly overwrite each other

We do, in fact, know this because Mike has been asked many times

[latent canyon]

Also if one of you can reliably proc 60-100 stacks of armor shred on bosses you dont need both players building armor shred. Just these small strategies you can work with to optimize things

[surreal verge]

Ah

[glad orbit]

Hi, I've got lvl 100 character and my XP bar still growing? Very slowly but for sure.

[surreal verge]

Ye, does nothing

[heavy bear]

hello, question about Deadlock (reduces your health to 33 when you activate death seal)

does it still let me benefit from Desperate Shroud and Corrupted Consciousness as if my health was at 33%?

[surreal verge]

Yes. That's exactly the point

[heavy bear]

thanks.

[frozen dock]

is acolyte the only good pet build or can beastmaster or forge guard compete for damage?

[desert tree]

Beastmaster yes

[dense root]

forge guard sort of just sucks right now

[desert tree]

Forge guard...

[dense root]

beastmaster is fine though yeah

[desert tree]

Crit MA forge guard kinda works

But it's a lot of work

[frozen dock]

ty

[pastel pebble]

😰😰🥴🥴😰

[sterile bane]

forge guard sucks??

so my block effectiveness only goes up by 16? is that even worth it?

[wide sentinel]

wdym 16 is a lot

the difference between 50% dr and 34% dr is pretty huge, its almost 50% increase in reduction

[wide sentinel]

sentinel sucks in general lol, fg especially

[sterile bane]

i think its 16 points not 16%

also what is aliment drop

[wide sentinel]

what do u mean by 16 points???

[near path]

626 block effect isn't bad at all

[sterile bane]

ohh for the uncapped res part

[near path]

oh wait it has the explicit mod too

almost a 1000 block effect, that's massive

that's a t7 roll

pretty good

reduced damage on block is also pog

[sterile bane]

really?

[near path]

that's a good fucking shield what are you complaining about lol

[wide sentinel]

that shield is meh overall but if you get high dodge chance its actually pretty good

[sterile bane]

im not complaining im asking

i dont see a t7

[near path]

I mean it's not great, but better than most WW shields I've made

[near path]

I meant the total value

[sterile bane]

ohhh i think this is one of the ebst leveling buids. def going to use these shields for almost all my builds that can use a shield

ok how the heck do you go from level 0 to empowered in less than 24 hours

[sinful laurel]

You have a shit load of leveling uniques and you know the campaign super wel

Or. You get carried and rushed

[sterile bane]

yea because im playing BM for at least 30 hours and im not even at the thre 90 monos. i did pick the bad path for mono but still

when at item says "+Melee Fire Damage for you and your minions" does that mean all your melee attacks do fire damage even if they arent tagged fire, but they dont benefit from other fire modifiers you have?

[desert tree]

Yes

[sterile bane]

ohhh

[sterile bane]

i was looking at my other shields, that is a good shield

[buoyant trench]

(Taking this conversation here to not derail the other forum)
@copper fable

Can you give examples of cold builds?

[copper fable]

Cold werebear, cold shaman minions, ice mages/ice golems are both good as well. Cold upheaval was a thing for a while on beastmaster. Icicle marksman. Cold regen stacking lance set ups.

Basically almost every class has some form of cold build as either an option select or as a core build

there is also quite a few cold sorc builds like glacier, cold conversion lightning blast/static orb etc

[desert tree]

A guy on stream was testing cold upheaval today, it looked great

Not sure how high he will push it but he was doing pretty at 400

[buoyant trench]

Is Ice necro good?

[copper fable]

yeah its just a bit different then fire necro, its probably a bit worse then fire necro, but its still plenty fine

its benefit is the set offhand that gives huge bonuses to dreadshade and converts it to cold

[buoyant trench]

😮

[obsidian orbit]

should i keep the uniques i found even though they are not my class? Or should i just sell them?

[buoyant trench]

Keep them in case you want to do a future roll and need those.

[obsidian orbit]

so on a future roll i can change the item and use them?

[buoyant trench]

Keep the ones with Legendary Potential over the ones with non LP

[obsidian orbit]

what do you mean by future roll?

[buoyant trench]

When you want to make a new character / new build.

[obsidian orbit]

hmm, so if i make a new character.... i can use items from another character and trade/send it?

[copper fable]

yes the staff is shared

[sterile bane]

i think that a lot of these buids will be more viabale with new or ccycle mechanics

[copper fable]

stash*

[obsidian orbit]

oww cool

thanks

[faint cape]

It just bugs out a little; all you should have to do is waypoint to each of the level 90 monoliths and touch them (to open their echo web maps), then it should reopen the center

[faint cape]

I'd say one as a spell paladin crit build and one as a vinebear druid

[sterile bane]

Uncapped means that you will continue to gain poison chance from fire resistance above the 75% resistance cap

i dont understand wath taht means

[desert tree]

It means that from 0% to infinity you get block effectiveness

[sterile bane]

do you know the math on that because that makes no sense to me

[surreal verge]

Ruby cleaver?

It just means that it takes your total fire resistance.

It doesn't give a shit about thew 75% effective res cap

[sterile bane]

i just wanted to know what it means when it says you get +x for uncapped res

wouldnt that be till 75% or does that mean u get more after you hit 75%

[timid monolith]

I redid one of the bosses and was waking to the other monolith and the cutscene started again and I was able to click the thing in the center and proceed

[surreal verge]

You get as much as you have.

EG. 300% fire res means 300% melee poison chance

[sterile bane]

ohhhh

damn well i have another item that says that and i thought the less you have the more the item gives

to help you at lower levels

[desert tree]

That would be UNDER capped

[surreal verge]

No, it's "As much as you have"

(Also, I recall the items themselves give like 75% fire res each)

Is there even a build that can use the Ruby Fang effectively?

[faint cape]

Ah, that works, too

[buoyant trench]

What is the crit cap?

[surreal verge]

Chance? 100%

Multi? No known

[rancid sparrow]

technically its beyond 100% in character sheet

[faint cape]

None. After 100% though, it usually doesn't help

[rancid sparrow]

but idk if it does anything

[faint cape]

There are two things now that scale on crit chance, and those will count past 100%

[surreal verge]

Otherwise, going over 100% is just to prevent crit avoid messing you up

[buoyant trench]

Besides defenses and crit, any other caps I should be aware of?

[rancid sparrow]

no crit avoid always mess you up

no amount of crit chance get around 100% crit avoidance.

[native sail]

^

[surreal verge]

IF you reached that point you have a damn reading issue

[surreal verge]

Dodge has a 85% cap (If you can hit it)

And....

I don't think there's anything else that comes to mind?

[rancid sparrow]

well its possible for the enemies to reach that point.

[surreal verge]

They can, and it'll be your fault-

[native sail]

Kzb I've run echoes where the lobs had I think 93% crit avoid total

Mobs*

[rancid sparrow]

no but it still wouldnt do anything. they wont crit if you have 100% or more crit avoidance

[native sail]

It was painful. but funny.

[surreal verge]

What did you do

Why are you like that

[pastel pebble]

Nah, I got luck

[native sail]

Because I can be

[surreal verge]

[native sail]

I want LP Wing Guards dammit

[rancid sparrow]

also you can just play a dot build and laugh at 100% crit avoidance. walking sim pally for example

[pastel pebble]

Litsrally just be luckier

Tgis is all a massive skill issue on your ends

[rancid sparrow]

is it a massive skill issue of you that you cant type as well

[pastel pebble]

No

[surreal verge]

well yeah but the crit builds would need to fukkin read and avoid them-

[faint cape]

Rogue can also mostly ignore crit avoid mods, since crit vuln shreds up to 100% avoid

[exotic idol]

do some builds use the set items? I havent seen anyone use them

[surreal verge]

As a center piece? Not so much?

Acolyte's set is use here and there, and shattered lance is the best set in the game and is used often enough

[desert tree]

It's only 20% now

[exotic idol]

alright, didnt know that

[faint cape]

Yeah, there are a few good sets

[exotic idol]

ty

[faint cape]

It says 10% per stack, and max stacks is 10. Used to be unlimited

[desert tree]

From the 0.9 patch note

[dense root]

that's chance to crit

[faint cape]

Not crit chance. Crit avoid shed

[desert tree]

Did it get buffed later on?

[dense root]

not crit avoidance reduction

[desert tree]

?? Never heard of that

[dense root]

read the part under "more information"

[faint cape]

^ the 10% per stack wasn't changed, so no patch note on it

[pastel pebble]

Haha not for me tho

Literacy is everyone else's problem

It's like MTG

[desert tree]

Oh! I didn't know this was a thing

My bad then

[pastel pebble]

I'm just playing the card, you're the one who has to deal with it

[surreal verge]

Motherfucker-

[pastel pebble]

Math is for blockers!

[sterile bane]

so @latent canyon are you the sorc build expert?

[rancid sparrow]

who is that

[pastel pebble]

#🧙┃mage is good for it and Gnash is pretty familiar with Sorc since he played his pretty far

[sterile bane]

well i wanted it to be known

[pastel pebble]

I'm unsure what you mean. Like that he knows Sorc well or that others know?

[sterile bane]

that others know that he knows so everyone can know that he knows what he knows, did you know?

[frozen dock]

is there a support character? you know to buff your friends?

[buoyant sinew]

there are specific builds you can play that are entirely supports, yes. Paladin (Sentinel mastery) is the easiest one to do it with

[frozen dock]

is there one stonger, like a pure heal/buff bot?

[clever oak]

what is this place for does anyone know? it was behind a secret entrance in one of ancient rifts

[desert tree]

Not really, they are not a big fan of that

[frozen dock]

is there a way to summon multple spiggans?

[waxen sundial]

will have a use later most likely

[desert tree]

Yes in spriggan form

You can have another one

[amber void]

projectiles have a set duration or distance?

[slender gazelle]

Latam 67 / Center USA 152 ish...

Rn playing offline bc is the same as online ssf so great for me

only missing is the EHG Backpack

[dreamy arch]

whats the best skill to level druid with? im using maelstrom but its so slow

at level 30 but struggling to kill mobs

[desert tree]

I like thorn totem @dreamy arch

[dreamy arch]

ok il look it up ty @desert tree

[faint cape]

Typically they just have a duration, so speed determines their max range. There are exceptions, though (such as static orb exploding at your cursor or the node that gives it a max range).

[faint cape]

Maelstrom is pretty fast and efficient if you keep your weapon upgraded or swap to maelstrom bear and craft strength on everything. You might also be near getting swarmblade form, and if so, locust swarm is pretty effective (it's maelstrom, but melee and less dependent on gear to get enough damage).

[dreamy arch]

yh swarmblade is where im headed but need 25 points able to go into druid first end goal is swarmnado lightning

[barren zealot]

Fireball sorc endgame guide on maxroll a decent fresh sorc starter build?

Basically trying to settle on a good starter build for my first sorc and want to make sure the maxroll guides are decent alongside those on LE tools

[supple mantle]

Could someone explain the affix on Knowledge of an Erased Mage

I read what LastEpochTools has to say about it, but I still don't understand what it's doing.

[dense root]

it basically raises your endurance threshold by 0.6*(max mana - current mana)

[supple mantle]

Hrm, gotcha. So I understand now what the result is, but I still find the wording quite confusing 🙂

Thanks for the formula though, that helps!

[fading imp]

Are there benefits to playing on solo account found or is it purely just for the challenge?

[faint cape]

There is supposed to be a bridge there, it seems to have gotten removed unintentionally in 0.9.1

[faint cape]

Challenge only, like hardcore (and masochist, if that ever makes a return)

[serene patrol]

How do I unlock empowered monos? I've done all 3 lvl 90 monoliths (have all 3 bonuses) but the middle part isn't doing anything. This is an alt character (1st char unlocked emp monos just fine) do I need to complete the campaign?
Edit: Nvm, just randomly unlocked after doing a few echoes

[surreal verge]

Don't be an aura bot, there's not enough to support it.
Just play a more supportive dps setup, like jugdement aura

[abstract mason]

is there problem with the server

i used to get 90 ms on asia se today i log in its above 105

[knotty tinsel]

the wording is specifically that way so it doesn't count as the endurance threshold stat for other effects that work with that.

Not that I can think of many but maybe it's futureproofing

[sterile bane]

I play on 200+ ping. You should be ok you just will die more and bosses are harder

[knotty tinsel]

that doesn't sound ok XD

No. Set items will get their own overhaul in the future.

Or just tag Sam and Deias in the same sentence and watch 👀

Here's a topic you can debate -

We all know how a dog would wear pants, but how would an Octopus wear pants? 4 pairs or 4 limbs per pant leg?

[pastel pebble]

If an octopus could sew pants we could not understand it

[knotty tinsel]

it would wear them on its head because their intellect is superior to ours

[desert tree]

It is a post for #lobby, please make sure to use the right channel

[cedar locust]

Post ed

[sterile bane]

this si my first one. interesting

[pastel pebble]

Oh yeah those are killer

[sterile bane]

but you cant upgrade it till you get a lot of them right?

[latent canyon]

In general no one uses a purple shield

So as it turned out its just for making a legendary fodder

Rarely used

[sterile bane]

but its still used

also what wave do you have to get to unlock the next level of areana?

[vale lake]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-little-girl-annoyed-cute-gif-22673877

[sterile bane]

noanswer for me?

[vale lake]

Sorry no clue, I never do arena

[sterile bane]

does on melee hit include minions melee?

[surreal verge]

NO

Usual rule of "If minion isn't on it it doesn't affect minions"

[sterile bane]

damn this item wouldve been fun

yea im def starting to rubberband more now

if you die while doing an echo but you then go back and do it just to unlock the next echo branch does the enemy modifier stay with you

[near path]

Yes

[sterile bane]

i mean it makes sense thanks

if i want a unique that is a helmet should i do more echos that have helmets as reward?

[near path]

naturally

you go for the unique/set helmet echo rewards

idr which monolith had those, I think Black Sun

[sterile bane]

no i mean the none unique ones

so like if i want a helmet i go for normal/exalted/unique helmets

and the same with everything else etc etc

[faint cape]

You just complete the previous tier

same as dungeon tiers

[faint cape]

No. The "rare helmet" echoes can drop exalted helmets, but I don't think they can drop uniques or sets. Do exalted ones for sure though (if you aren't already doing all of them), for legendary fodder for the unique helm you want.

[slender gazelle]

Bc of the rubber bug i take to do act 1 on online as half the campaign in onffline.

Maybe you could play on high pin but not for me tranks

[dreamy arch]

what level would you guys reccomend before switching to swarmnado?

[sterile bane]

What does complete mean??

[faint cape]

You kill the boss

it's wave 30 or something

[sterile bane]

ok thanks. i think i keep dying right before or at the boss

[sterile bane]

i want to see who has more than 9,000 echoes conquered

[ebon locust]

hey guys just a quick re-ensurance. As long as i m farming the empowered version of a timeline i can get every blessing right? the 5th slot just adds up the odds right? there is no blessing locked behind 200 coruption?

[desert tree]

Yes you are right

The 5th slot is just for extra chance of not getting what you want 😂

[buoyant trench]

Is there such an affix as "minion fire penetration"?

Or does the "fire penetration" affix apply to minions as well?

[surreal verge]

No and No

[shrewd prism]

hullo ive asked before but has anyone experienced significant lag on online play vs offline

for example when i use dash as rogue, online i pause for about half a second before starting my dash

[native sail]

The only lag you'd receive in offline is due to game performance, it's not lag. Cuz... y'know, offline.

[shrewd prism]

wait im getting lag in online mode

not in offline mode, offline works smooth as butter

[native sail]

I know, that's what I'm saying

[shrewd prism]

feels really clunky but idk if its on my end or something that is out of my control

[native sail]

You have ping in online, you have server lag, you have the game still not being fully optimized, those are all compounding things, you're gonna feel some issues

[sterile bane]

If I increase my internet speed is my ping guaranteed to decrease??

[native sail]

I mean... It's not impossible but that's not really the only factor

[sterile bane]

Damn

[faint cape]

You'd need to identify what the bottleneck is for you. If it's just sheer distance from the server location, hard for you to do much about it. If you are close enough and their servers are fine and you know you have slow internet, yeah it's likely to help if you improve it

[faint cape]

It's probably totally out of your control. The game does have quite a few minor differences in online vs. offline.

[sterile bane]

ok nvm its distance so it doesnt matter

[sterile bane]

wow the level 90 monos are def harder

[sterile bane]

is this rare?

[dense root]

no

[sterile bane]

lag killed me 5 times today

[knotty tinsel]

7250 gold ripe for the picking

[thin tinsel]

guys would this work with a channeled spell for the whole time im channeling?

to be specific its disintegrate, it says its not a on hit spell but the dmg increase should work i guess?

[desert tree]

I want to say it should

[thin tinsel]

guess i have to test when i try the build at some point 😄

[faint cape]

Yeah, theoretically should work for disintegrate unlike many channeled skills... that said, this is not enough to make the skill very good

[knotty tinsel]

any reason why gamblers fallacy disintegrate just stopped being a thing?

not that it doesnt work (I assume it does) I just dont see it played at all

[native sail]

Because it's bad

Like, just feels bad to play and isn't high performance at all

[knotty tinsel]

mmm

crit chance can hit such a big number though, oh well

[native sail]

High crit chance ain't gonna do shit when you have to sit there for 10 seconds to kill them and they can kill you in 2 seconds

[knotty tinsel]

sounds like every build I play

[native sail]

The other builds you play can probably still move and damage

[serene patrol]

Does adding affixes to uniques increase their level requirement? Or can I create super power leveling uniques if there is no change in level req?

[native sail]

It doesn't affect their level. This was a very recent change, it used to

[serene patrol]

Thanks, I got a few low lvl 3lp uniques, so thatll make leveling a breeze now

[waxen sundial]

this count for the DoT too?

[near path]

it should afaik

[desert tree]

If its does not specify it should work for everything

[lament tundra]

what should I add to this

are there no orybs nodes in empowered mono?

[opal nest]

In Multiplayer,
is there some requirement for party member to get blessing when clearing boss echo?
there is time i got blessing and some time i do not when helping other people clear the boss echo

[lament tundra]

does stop necrotic damage from damned?

[surreal verge]

Same stability

[surreal verge]

No, does not stop DoT effects.

[opal nest]

i see ty for the info )b

[faint cape]

There are, it's the only way to increase corruption

[lament tundra]

i can't find them despite like being far ahead

if i try to ggo further the modifiers get too hard

and i already cleared everything i can clear on that mono

seems weird xx

[obsidian orbit]

so what shoud i do to low level uniques? is there a way to salvage something useful from it rather than sell?

[surreal verge]

Nope.

Or, keep them for other chars as leveling uniques

etc

[humble cargo]

Hoard them forever like the rest of us

[obsidian orbit]

that's sad 😭

[obsidian orbit]

also, what is attunement?

[surreal verge]

A stat, like strength and vitality

Check char sheet

[lament tundra]

any recommendation on what to do with this ?

[sterile bane]

no

or rather dont

[lament tundra]

i am sure it can be better than my current gloves

[dense root]

nothing tbh

[lament tundra]

if i fuse into it

right?

[dense root]

probably not

taking the extra damage is really bad

and the other stats don't really make up for it

[lament tundra]

ok

[knotty tinsel]

using fighting chance is worse than having no gloves equipped

[lament tundra]

if i get glyph of despair

should i sue it on this

i did 20 monos with glyphs empowered but it's so rare

:/

[obsidian orbit]

what is the difference with Critical Strike Chance & Melee Critical Strike Chance?

isn't Critical Strike Chance just better overall?

[dense root]

well

yes

but in practice most melee crit is flat crit

and most generic crit is increased crit

and flat crit is better than increased crit

[obsidian orbit]

flat is better than "increased"?

[dense root]

flat generic crit would be better than flat melee crit though

[dense root]

technically they're just different rather than one being always better than the other

but in practice there are a lot of sources of increased for most things

and relatively few sources of flat

[surreal verge]

Crit chance is (5%+flat crit chance) * (100%+increased crit chance)

[obsidian orbit]

i mean, items can give extra 50% critical strike chace, then 1% melee critical strike chance.
So i was just wondering if melee is that much better/special

[dense root]

which makes flat more valuable than increased in places you can get it

[knotty tinsel]

usually whenever you can get flat crit you want it. usually

hence why catalysts are a very flexible item slot

[obsidian orbit]

if i have a unique weapon with great effects and +19 melee damage, and a rare weapon with so-so effects but +42 melee dmg, should i switch to use the rare weapon?

i have been using the unique for very long, it's low level, but seems good, but the +dmg modifier seems low when compared to 42...

i dunno what amount of difference is considered high...

[knotty tinsel]

that's a math question with too many variables for us to answer, but generally,
a) if you can get flat damage you take it and
b) so long as you have at least a little in flat damage and increased damage you're probably doing good (of course the more More modifiers the better)

[obsidian orbit]

hmmm.... does unique items change their effects/affixes by random..?

i think my axe just change 1 of it's effects

it's the "Taste of Blood" axe, previously it has 7% chance of summoning primal serpent

[dense root]

that's not an effect of taste of blood

[obsidian orbit]

Now it's "when you hit a bleeding enemy all the bleed stacks double in speed"

of nvm

my mistake

sorry

[knotty tinsel]

lol

[surreal verge]

[native sail]

I love Vipertail. Mmm low level LP belt with a neat stack of dodge rating.

[sterile bane]

if only this was empowered and was actually something good

[knotty tinsel]

what's your question?

[sterile bane]

nothing just two unique echoes back to back

[knotty tinsel]

best to post in general or lobby then

[sterile bane]

ok here is a question, is this rare?

[native sail]

RNG is RNG, sometimes you'll see 5 of them chain together, sometimes you won't see more than 5 in the web at all

[sterile bane]

wow

thats why ppl will farm it over and over?

[faint cape]

yeah, it's one of the reasons people push corruption up to at least 200-300, since these echoes are more common with higher corruption and higher distance from center

[buoyant trench]

What's is the average corruption needed to start getting max level LP uniques?

[native sail]

Wha?

Like, 4LP items?

Good luck, the majority of items will never be seen with that because corruption has no influence on LP

[buoyant trench]

Oh, it's straight up RNG?

[native sail]

Pretty much

[buoyant trench]

Oh wow.

[native sail]

4LP items in most scenarios are insanely broken, so it's necessary to make them extremely rare or next to impossible

[buoyant trench]

So I'm pushing corruption for drop rates, and Orobyss drops?

[native sail]

And if you feel like joining the few who push it for the sake of pushing it there's that. Just please don't be like them and complain every day.

[buoyant trench]

Haha, I am not big into pushing corruption, but I do know that I need 200 minimum for Orobyss items, correct?

[native sail]

Yeah, that unlocks the ability to drop Omnis

[buoyant trench]

Yeah, if that's the case, I'm okay with getting 200, and keeping it that way.

[faint cape]

yeah, 200c also unlocks the last blessing roll so it makes it easier to find the blessing you need

[sterile bane]

666, i hope its not badluck

[buoyant trench]

Is there a way to raise corruption for all the monos at once?

[sterile bane]

no, thats individual

[native sail]

No but the ones that are lower will receive bonuses when being brought up based on the difference between them and the highest

[buoyant trench]

😯

[sterile bane]

wait, say that again?

[native sail]

When you are upgrading the corruption of a monolith it will gain bonus corruption if you have another one that is a good chunk ahead. For example, on one of my lower end toons bringing up a 100c timeline gets a bonus 50 something because the highest is around 270

With stacking of Gazes and going to a far Orobyss node I can easily bring them up to 200 in one go

[sterile bane]

so if you stick with one mono over and over it boosts the other ones to get them all the same faster??

[native sail]

Pretty much. It does still take some mild effort to bring the other ones up cuz you do have to go kill an Orobyss to get the bonus corruption but it helps

[sterile bane]

im convinced that exalted and unique echoes are harder than normal

[dense root]

seems unlikely

[sterile bane]

i know

[sterile bane]

has it been mentioned if season will be spilt by class/mastery or if the leaderboard is for everyone?

[native sail]

To my knowledge it's likely to be everyone, but they're open to looking at ways to expand it further

[faint cape]

The leaderboard splits are detailed in the recent-ish forum post on leaderboards. Basically, it splits on stash lines as well as party size. The party size split might not be applicable to all future leaderboards, but currently we just have arena leaderboards, and that's how it works there.

[sterile bane]

yea i feel a class or mastery one would be good to see how far each one can push and what class/,astery is far from others

[dark lake]

if i want to farm this item , do i do this in normal or first get the empowered monos and then farm it?

[near path]

Empowered

[clever geyser]

Hey could anyone in here awnser some questions about shatter strike spellbalde for me?

[faint cape]

Mastery is shown on the leaderboard, so this comparison is possible without separate leaderboards

[faint cape]

Yeah, you can always ask. If none of us know the answer, someone in the mage channel might

[sterile bane]

so basically if you use a class that cant push corr as well as other classes its your own fault?

[clever geyser]

What is the reason that you take mana strike over firebrand after leveling? I havent had the need for any additional manna and Im level 76 and I still dont seem to have a need for additional mana. What is the benifit of running it?

[sterile bane]

whats teh build?

[clever geyser]

Also where can I farm a shattering crystal sword? I haven't seen one in the whole game so far haha

[sterile bane]

and you might be better asking in the class channel

[clever geyser]

Oh sorry

And the build is shatter strike spellblade

[sterile bane]

so primalist?

[clever geyser]

Most of the builds on the top 50 seem to run it too

[desert tree]

What is a shattering crystal sword?

I know crystal sword

But not shattering

[clever geyser]

This

[near path]

that's a crystal sword

[clever geyser]

my b, ig the maxroll site labled it wrong

[faint cape]

well, there is no corruption leaderboard yet, so I'd say the answer is a very strong maybe

just like you are currently penalized for choosing anything that doesn't have the highest speed possible

[dense root]

shattering is one of the prefix's

it's flat cold damage

[faint cape]

(I say currently, but really I don't think that penalty is avoidable in any reasonable way)

[dense root]

anyway the answer is the closest you can come to farming a rare/exalted sword is to do dungeons on the right day

[clever geyser]

What day does it drop?

[faint cape]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/dungeons

current bonuses are on this page, and you can drill down to the schedule by clicking the dungeon name

(modifiers tab on the dungeon page)

[lament tundra]

anyone willing to help me farm arena

[faint cape]

#👥┃lfg could possibly have people looking for stuff like this

[royal echo]

can someone tell me why i'm never put in the same zone as my friend while we are leveling?

go through a portal and i have to tp to them

is grouping just bugged

[faint cape]

I've never had this issue, I recommend reporting this since it sounds pretty bad, be sure to give as much info as you can so they have a better chance at figuring out what's causing it in your case.

!bug

[ripe brook]

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

[carmine wind]

Is the attunement scaling from skills effect flat damage? For example Holy Trail gains +1 Spell Damage per 5% Healing effectiveness and it also gains 4% healing effectiveness per attunement. If I have 100% healing effectiveness and 25 attunement would it gain 20 or 40 spell damage?

[faint cape]

+40

[carmine wind]

Thanks!

[lament tundra]

I have a question about endurance. let say I have endurance threshold of 300 and my health is current 400. if I take a hit that does 200 damage. will it just not apply or will it apply to 100 of the damage but not the other 100?

[native sail]

The latter.

It will apply to the portion that is threshold and below

[lament tundra]

nice

is the gaze of orobyss supposed to be hard

or am I weak xD

[native sail]

Uh.. Shade, not Gaze, but roll a D20. It can be awful or literally nothing. It has randomized abilities.

[lament tundra]

this one

the dragon

[native sail]

Oh

[lament tundra]

i get him to half hp

then die

all the time

cuz i can't predict

when he does the necrotic big attack

even if i predict it

[native sail]

Don't need to predict, just walk out of the circle

[lament tundra]

i am melee and i can't

[native sail]

You can

[lament tundra]

get out in time often
