do i really need to have internet connection before i play "OFFLINE MODE"?

[dense root]

yes

[pastel pebble]

They're working on adding in the true offline mofe

[faint cape]

Yeah, just to login. They are working on making a more-offline version.

It'll probably use Steam's offline mode service, if you're familiar with that

[acoustic thicket]

having the same problem. I'm often at the area without any internet connection and these are the comparison between having internet vs no internet.

[acoustic thicket]

I see. that's alright and I might wait for them to make a total offline version before playing again.
I just thought they haven't recognize this one. thanks

[faint cape]

Hm, normally internet issues display a different error. Sometimes Steam is wonky, hard resetting it might help

[acoustic thicket]

yea, but before the update I can play my offline character without logging in. (without internet connection)

[native sail]

Not actually true, before the update they just had a different authentication system

[odd hedge]

Is there a way to keymap movement to ASDF? using LMB to run while using the keyboard to attack feels very... inverse to what I'm used to

I keep attacking when I'm trying to run & running when.,... well, you get the picture

[buoyant sinew]

there is not

you'll get used to it 🙂

[odd hedge]

Thank you. I probably will, but, OTOH, I am an old fart oldmanyellsatcloud.gif

[faint cape]

Controllers will eventually be fully supported, that might help you somewhat

[odd hedge]

https://tenor.com/view/atari-old-game-consoles-gif-13768497

Last controller I used was Atari 2600

[native sail]

Based as fuck

(Not anti-console/controller or anything, I just think old systems are cool)

[odd hedge]

I loved it when I was a kid fo sho

[tribal rain]

bad memories of leaf spring contacts bending so they dont make contact any more...
dark times

[acoustic thicket]

Okay I understood. But in the future can we play offline character without logging in?

[native sail]

Yeah

[acoustic thicket]

Thanks!

[native sail]

No problem. I think it's a 1.0 feature?

[tribal rain]

im not waiting for 1.0... 1.1 is when most things will be sorted

[faint cape]

So you're saying you have controller experience 😄

[tribal rain]

was that the controller they used in that OceanGate sub ?

[pastel pebble]

Logitech

[sterile bane]

if you play offline are all your characters offline connected?

[sterile widget]

I agree. We should have pacman skin for Primalist

[sterile widget]

Connected as in share a stash? Yes.

Unless you play a Solo character

[sterile bane]

well thats good to know. i travel so i might make some offline characters and play with them

[sterile bane]

DEV STREAM DAY!!!!

[vale lake]

Does Illusion of pain (Bone curse always crit) bypass crit avoid ?
And I'm guessing Can't crit (Singularity) is "stronger" than Always crit ?

[dense root]

can’t overrides can yeah

[cedar locust]

Above my pay grade, I just gonna bleach my memory.

@pastel pebble I suggest praying to Eterra, Orobyss, Heorot, Rahyeh and every other God you can think of....

[balmy current]

Crit avoidance is applied after the game rolls for whether a hit was a crit or not.

[blissful veldt]

So i got to the black sun(2nd island) where the boss is a bird.
I died, when i pressed respawn i got to the area where i can start new one, than blessing selection popped up and stability got reset.
But the path to next island seems blocked. EDIT: after like a minute i got quest complete and i could walk up to the next island
Is this some kind of bug?

[cedar locust]

Can you take a screenshot of the area and the Quest log? Trying to dive the Forums for this 🙂

[blissful veldt]

I edited earlier post, i got quest complete popup thing bit later than i could move on.

I allready left game since i have to go for a bit.
But i am still clueless how i got the completition if i died before the boss

[surreal verge]

Did the boss at least die as well and drops spawned?

[cedar locust]

Hmmm, definitely a strange one - If you don't mind, could you report that to our Bug Forum here : https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports/23 so the team can look in to it?

It would also be useful if you can attach your player.log files, though these only cover the last 2 launches of the game so you might need to grab them before you next load in!

This is where to find them and how to save them : https://support.lastepoch.com/hc/en-us/articles/1260805192629-The-Game-s-Log-File

[abstract mason]

quick question does the spriggan totem scale with minion damage or attument cuz i feel damage is low for the scaling or is a node in the spriggan skill that i should be taking that i dont see

[faint cape]

The spriggan totem scales with minion stats and from your attunement, yes. I'm assuming you have it set to copy your thorn totem stuff (otherwise you wouldn't be talking about damage), and in that case it also benefits from the thorn totem spec tree.

[abstract mason]

@faint cape yeah i have set on thorn totem and stuff but i feel like multiplier isnt working correctly it isnt anlways multiplying the damage of the crit or is there a minimum for it to always multiply like 500% or something

[surreal verge]

... Does the totem HAVE crit?

[abstract mason]

yeah it does like sometimes i hit for 77k and sometimes 100 damage

on the same echo

[native sail]

Are you sure the 10p damage ticks aren't like ailments or something

Cuz crits don't give you that much extra damage

[abstract mason]

it could be that stuff is dying dont get me wrong but the numbers are so low

maybe once i start getting the uniques to legendary it will be will continue trying it

[wide wedge]

So spreading Flames. Does it scale off of anything other than items skills that directly affect it?

[faint cape]

This is a huge disparity. I'm 93% sure Deias called it right that those tiny ticks are ailments that you aren't scaling at all, or there's something else going on that we're not aware of like all your damage comes from buffs that are not always up.

[faint cape]

It deals fire damage over time, so it scales with anything that can scale that type of damage (pretty much all the same stuff that scales ignite). Also just like ignite, it scales with applicable modifiers on the skill applying it.

[wide wedge]

@faint cape Thanks Yeah there was no tool tip for it with the alt key in the skill trees like some of the others.

The real question is if say you use fire ball to apply with the 200%dmg but put on an item the applies it. Doesn't the one override the other or does it just add for the chance and gain the bonus dmg.

[vale lake]

Ailments like that get their scaling from the skill that applies it

So if you're using fireball to apply it while holding a torch, it's gonna be the same spreading flames applied

[wide wedge]

I see thanks.

[midnight linden]

Anyone else having LE-52 error? I spent over 100hrs in the game and ever since latest update it won't let me login

[broken burrow]

Have you tried verifying the files in steam, fixed it for me@midnight linden

[midnight linden]

I'm trying to reinstall first, then will try that, but thanks for the help

[broken burrow]

verifing is much faster and should fix anything a reinstal will

[midnight linden]

fingers crossed, I was like "NOOOO"

[broken burrow]

lol

i'm sure there's a fix

[midnight linden]

reeinstalling worked 😄

[broken burrow]

nice

[lost delta]

Looking for a simple to play (least amount of button pushing due to hand/finger issues) that can roll well in 250ish mono runs, with average to good gear, if anyone could offer a suggestion or two.

[midnight linden]

I like Sorc

its a glass cannon but melts through mobs with channel

[broken burrow]

@lost delta I have issues with tough combos due to my autiosm, i know how to build and WHAT i should be doing but kinda panic. So different reasons but same boat. Come to voice chat and i'll show you some of my builds

there's builds that can do that for almost any class, mutiple styles of play

[lost delta]

at work or I would, is it possible to just point me in the right direction to look when I get home, it would be appreciated.

[broken burrow]

well i would recommend a mujlti shotgun arrow rogue, a shadow dagger rogue, a judgement and consecrated paladin, a necromancer of many types, or a spellblade using static

it depends on what you enjoy

you can DM me later if you like. I'm on discord on my phone as well

@lost delta

[lost delta]

Thank you, I will check those options out and see where it leads. Appreciate it.

[broken burrow]

necro is probably the easiest, but i don't like playing summoners personally

[drowsy hornet]

i should know this, but... what benefits Spell Physical Damage?

[quartz turret]

anyone else having problems to connect in the game?

[faint cape]

As S1ns said, just keep in mind if you apply spreading flames with fireball, and then hit the enemy with some other skill and apply spreading flames, it will overwrite the first instance using its own stats, for better or worse.

[faint cape]

To add to what was mentioned above, shaman can run a cold spriggan build (1-2 buttons, frostbite or crit/Halvar) or auto caster (0-1 buttons). Vinebear druid can be played as a 1 button build, too.

[faint cape]

Anything that affects spells that deal physical damage

[drowsy hornet]

ahh i see it now, on LE tools, for minions its spriggan minions and locusts?

[vale lake]

Oh yeah, this is an important point when playing ailment, you generally want to apply it with 1 skill, which will have the best multipliers for it

@wide wedge

[faint cape]

Yeah, really important for ailments that have a limited stack size (like spreading flames, which has a max of 1 stack)

[wide wedge]

Got it thanks again

I'm hardcore now after getting a few 90+ and 100

[faint cape]

Added damage applies to any spell or attack, it doesn't need matching tags. So yes, the 'minion spell physical damage' will apply to your spriggan companion and any other minions you have that deal spell damage. Locusts will benefit from the 'minion melee physical damage' since they use melee attacks. Many companions use both spells and attacks, depending on how you spec them.

[weak flare]

Whats the pull range like? I love pulling groups of mobs together to AOE and would love to pull a full map if possible

[faint cape]

It used to be basically the full map. It's still pretty large, but they did reign it in a bit. Not sure the exact distance, 2-4 screens maybe?

[weak flare]

Is it a matter of line of sight? Or if you walk slow enough, you can grab them all?

[faint cape]

No, the thing preventing you from pulling the entire map to one spot is leashing range

[acoustic thicket]

Do you think lost knowledge will ne nerfed ?

[faint cape]

probably

[weak flare]

Ah! So eventually they snap back regardless. Thank you!

[sterile bane]

how was the dev stream?

[tribal rain]

is there an XP penality for my level vs game level ?

[surreal verge]

No penality unless mob levels are more than 10 lvs above you,and if they are they’ll be treated as just 10 levels over you for xp calculations

[tribal rain]

nah on maps they are 10 levels below me

[surreal verge]

Oh then there’s no inherit penalty,they already give crap numbers of xp after all

(As far as I know anyway)

[tribal rain]

gotta remind myself this is beta... coz im getting bored of running maps

[surreal verge]

Well its those or dungeons

[tribal rain]

my highest character has almost zero necro resistance so i cant get past some bosses.. so runnin 68's

[pastel pebble]

I'd, uh, recommend getting some necro resistance

[tribal rain]

i know.. i just really like the gear im using

[pastel pebble]

I find monoliths pretty enjoyable in empowered

And I guarentee you'll enjoy not dying more

[tribal rain]

yeah thats what i meant by maps

[sterile bane]

was there a dev stream yesterday?

[buoyant trench]

I usually try to get my uniques first then do arena, and gamba dungeons to start optimizing.

Is this a good way to approach the game?

[surreal verge]

Arena doesn't have...

Good drops.

Unless you're farming for the boss uniques, skip arena.

[sterile bane]

why would arena be good for boss uniques??

[surreal verge]

As in "If you're trying to get the arena boss only uniques"

They have unique drops.

(Just 3)

[sterile bane]

ohh i didnt even know

[surreal verge]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/arenas/arena-of-champions/tier4/boss-items

[sterile bane]

i saw it on maxroll. doesnt seem too important but good to know

[opal nest]

does having 135% critical chance will nullify 35% critical avoidance on enemy?

[surreal verge]

No, crit avoid will null...
135% * 0.35
47.25% of crit,

With a result of 87.75% effective crit chance

[dense root]

i'm like 99% sure this is untrue

and crit avoid is applied after the game determines if an attack is a crit

[surreal verge]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/critical_strikes

[dense root]

that agrees with what i'm saying

and not with what you're saying

"this chance is rolled after the attacker's crit chance" suggests that your 135% crit chance will always crit and only after that the game applies crit avoid to make 35% of those crits normal hits for an effective crit chance of 65%

[surreal verge]

I see your point.

[opal nest]

i see ty for the information

[timber tide]

Do you guys know if there is any way to affect the amount of gold you get from the chest after a monolith? Besides pushing higher corruption

Sometimes I get less than 1k and sometimes 60k+ on the same corruption

It seems completely random regardless of how much of the map I clear or the type of node I run

[white shard]

anyone else run into this graphics settings bug? already reported it, just wanna see if anyone's encountered it and if something fixed it. already restarted game, PC, etc. and it's still the same

[native sail]

https://support.lastepoch.com/hc/en-us/articles/1260805163370-The-Graphics-ini-File
Think it's this

[white shard]

how do I reset this?

[native sail]

I believe if you just delete the file it'll remake it and fix it on launch

[white shard]

oh cool

let me try

worked. thanks!

[native sail]

No prob

[faint cape]

In addition to monster level and corruption, the gold blessing and iir from whatever active modifiers should affect it.

it is definitely randomized, and the fluctuation of modifiers will also cause a lot of variance

and yeah, the more you kill, the higher chance for more gold drops, but still very randomized

[sterile bane]

just watched stream. some good info.

[hazy basalt]

anyone had age of winter first quest bug? have permanently loading screen(

[surreal verge]

Time to verify your files

[hazy basalt]

verify files doens't help me, all files good

[surreal verge]

Then I have no clue

!bug

[ripe brook]

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

[blissful veldt]

I did not see any loot, boss still had hp when i hit the respawn button.

[vale lake]

What's your build and did you die while he was very low health ?

Can be a minion or dot finished him while you respawned

[midnight linden]

void knight, forge or paladin?

[broken burrow]

void knight if you want power, paladin if you want most rounded, forge if you like to march to your own drum

[sterile bane]

can any class besides necro summon bow minions?

[surreal verge]

Otherwise idk.

[sterile bane]

ok. i see a unique and im thinking it has to be for necro only, at least for now

[midnight linden]

ok ty

[native sail]

Ballista is technically a bow minion and treated as such iorc

iirc*

[sterile bane]

ok thanks

[desert orbit]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/kA21yq0o v1
https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/0QdNYYo2 v1
is there a subjetively better version of these 2 or should i just play shadowdagger anyways ?

[latent canyon]

the one with more hp XD

[desert orbit]

yea that one just has better gear. meant not considering gearstate

like setup wisse

[latent canyon]

if you just want a "better build" id say SD is better than any lethal mirage shenanigans

SD or explosive UB.

[sterile bane]

i closed my game already, but i have the node that says my maximum skeleton is +1 but i can summon the same amount with or without it. do you have to be a certain level to get a +1 to max skeleton?

[faint cape]

No, it just gives +1 max. If you have something that reduces your max by a %, then not every +1 will actually get you another

[orchid canopy]

i'm in the Ruined Coast, in the Ruined Era, doing the Saphire Tablet quest, and i've come across a drawbridge, beyond which seems to be an exit.. but though i see a lever next to the drawbridge, i can't seem to highlight or activate it to lower the drawbrige... am i missing something, or is this a bug?

[faint cape]

You should be able to go across after using the lever, maybe try rezoning or relogging

[orchid canopy]

ok, yeah.. i left the zone, did some more questing, came back, and i could find the lever and lower the drawbridge.. thanks

[visual plaza]

I notice that everytime I transform into Spriggan form, I will gain a layer of Thorn Shield for a few seconds. How does the Thorn Shield happen?

[sterile bane]

@dusty trail your video seems to have a bit of an echo when mike is talking, fyi

[white shard]

does the increased item rarity from monoliths stack? e.g. 8% now and 15% later will be 22% total?

[sterile bane]

yes

but only while the modifier is active

[white shard]

what do you mean by that?

also, do modifiers disappear on death?

[sterile bane]

yes

on the mono they stay for a certain amount of echoes

is the crafting mission bugged??

[knotty tinsel]

Do effects that consume ailment stacks and deal their damage instantly count as being applied by the skill that consumes them, or will every ailment stack do exactly the expected damage from the skill that applied it?

[surreal verge]

The latter.

[knotty tinsel]

thank you very cool

[limpid sequoia]

I just want to ask if last epoch tools calculations is legitimate because this seems crazy

glass cannon though

[broken burrow]

it's accurate

keep in mind though that tooltip DPS isn't always the end all be all of a build's real damage output though

[knotty tinsel]

I haven't used the in built calculator on letools but yeah with proper build, gear and buffs up you will hit big numbers 😄

every planner starts as glass cannon, now it's time to shave off what you can for EHP

[broken burrow]

my tooltip DPS 20k spellblade crits for over a million

[limpid sequoia]

dang thats ham

[broken burrow]

keep in mind that fireball build has some rare uniques. if you want help getting started I sent you a DM

@limpid sequoia

[knotty tinsel]

oh yeah I'm seeing an auroras time glass with LP

that's not happening

unless you farm for long longus time

[surreal verge]

Oh, it's the ignite stack build

Your defenses will be paper thin.

[sterile bane]

My crafting mission won’t complete

Any idea on how to complete it??

[knotty tinsel]

the one where you tap the forge and that's it? I just ignored it and it went away eventually

not sure if it matters since there's no reward other than a crumb of exp iirc.

[sterile bane]

Ok. Thanks. I even crafted something

I hate the text showing it’s not complete

[wet stream]

Hallo,
I haven´t played since 9.1 and tried to login today. after selecting a character i end up in a endless loading-screen.
Have tried with 2 different characters, same result.
Any ideas where to start?

edit:
"Verify Integrity of Game Files" did the trick

[surreal verge]

You need to go to that one forge and click on it

Instead of using F to open the crafting screen

[sterile bane]

i did that

[lone star]

is there a big difference in vault for t4 vs t3 lightless dungeon? died 4 times in a row to one shot, sadness

[deft shadow]

anyone got a suggestion for a good cold dmg werebear build with which to use this bad boy?

I see a few different variations on LET and wasn’t sure if it would be particularly useful in one version of a cold werebear or it could slot in decently to any of them

[sterile bane]

from what i know there isnt much of diversity if you are going to do coldbear.

we should call it werepolar sicne its white and cold

polarwere sounds better actually

[dusty trail]

I think I know what happened, it will be fixed next week

[desert tree]

Since its melee cold dmg you can use shattered lance set + this body armor + the warcry helmet (can't remember the name just now)

You play swipe /maul cold like you would play a lightning swipe

[deft shadow]

The one from the ice stag boss?

[desert tree]

Yep

Call of the tundra?

[deft shadow]

Gotcha ok, I will try and find a build for that as I don’t necessarily trust myself to put one together lol. I’m sure swipe, leap, warcry, go in, not sure what else would slot in naturally? Maybe wolf for the buff

[desert tree]

Maelstrom for frenzy haste

[deft shadow]

Oh yeah good point, and I’ll get a little buff to the cold dmg there too from my items

[desert tree]

Probably spriggan summon over wolf

Gives you base crit and crit avoid

And maybe frm since you are cold

[deft shadow]

Oh ok yeah soriggan prob better

What’s frm, sorry?

[desert tree]

Np

Freeze Rate Multiplier

[deft shadow]

Oh yeah definitely, between that and warcry it would be a lot of cc and damage amp. Would just need elemental leech or something for sustain

[desert tree]

You will want a ton of health regen if you go shattered lance

[exotic idol]

Hey guys, in the dev Stream there was something said about adding more item base types if I remember correctly. Doesn't this make it even harder to find the specific base type with affixes your looking for? How would it be possible to make that not the case without making more items drop? (because in a game that Plans to have trading that could lead to difficulties no?)

[desert tree]

And the ancestral crow base helmet gives you leech on hit too

[deft shadow]

Ok will stack hp regen too

[desert tree]

Hum

Problem is lvl of swipe is on the relic

So you are going to miss a lot of points

That's kinda bad because swipe a lot of good stuff you want

Lots of more dmg, of regen or crit multi

[deft shadow]

Which relic? Something other than shattered lance?

https://youtu.be/dXL7FlswxT0

I’m watching this rn and it seems close to what I’m looking for

[desert tree]

If you want +level of swipe, it's on the relic slot

[deft shadow]

Ohhh ok that’s just the only slot it can roll. Well I can try a version with the set and once I find a super good swipe relic I can swap em out to see how it performs. But I can def get started with the set

[desert tree]

Yep the set is solie

[surreal verge]

You would mostly be using higher level bases anyway no?

[exotic idol]

I mean ya but that would still influence drop chances and loot pools no?

[latent canyon]

If there are multiple viable bases it should theoretically enable you to swap around your implicits and enable you to achieve the same build in multiple ways

Its already a thing in some classes.

[exotic idol]

thats true

but that would be an ideal scenario where every skill works with every item base

and they all can roll the same affixes

[latent canyon]

I think that is already the case.

[surreal verge]

They all can.

[exotic idol]

can you use "ranged" skills with a sword? idk so maybe

[latent canyon]

What is puzzling is that some bases could be just as good but they had to have really bad armor value or something

[exotic idol]

ah ok

[surreal verge]

You can.

[exotic idol]

ty for letting me know

[surreal verge]

All items of a type can roll all of it's affixes.

Eg. all swords have the same affix pool.

(As long as your level is high enough, because some affixes have level requirements)

[latent canyon]

The only reason ppl don't use swords for "spells" is that it usually don't have spell dmg built in

[exotic idol]

yes but then you only want swords for those affixes and different items being added to the pool makes it harder for you no?

[exotic idol]

ya

[latent canyon]

But it doesn't stop you from casting spells

[exotic idol]

hmm

[surreal verge]

stares at all the throwing skill builds

[exotic idol]

?

im clueless abt throwing

[surreal verge]

There's no weapon type that gives throwing skills stats via the base item

[exotic idol]

ahhh

[surreal verge]

THe base weapon is literally a stat stick for throwing builds.

[latent canyon]

[exotic idol]

so just anything that has fat % phys or whatever

[surreal verge]

(Or utility.)

[latent canyon]

Balanced by the fact that they get throwing dmg everywhere else

[surreal verge]

Yeah

[exotic idol]

I see

[surreal verge]

As affixes, not base stats

[latent canyon]

Also wink wink some throwing spell also have melee tag

[exotic idol]

what lol

[surreal verge]

Just a HANDFUL right?

[latent canyon]

Beloved shadow dagger

[surreal verge]

Here's your context.

[exotic idol]

oh ya...

I made a build with those once they seemed p good

(copied a build more like but ya)

[surreal verge]

Pretty good? They're basically the rogue meta lul

So yeah

[exotic idol]

the build also seemed like it was just way faster than anythign else

after playing that all the others feel so slow

literally takes like 2x as long to complete the monos

[latent canyon]

There is a build that is even faster than SD but its basically SD but not really

It looks identical from face value

[exotic idol]

im guessing also rogue

[latent canyon]

Yes identical.

[exotic idol]

hmmm

[latent canyon]

Ofc its also bladedancer

[exotic idol]

thats one thing that has bothered me after switching from poe, this game feels like it takes forever to do anything on most builds

[latent canyon]

SD does roughly 1/5 of the dmg in that build

Well yea devs wanted to limited zoom zoom from being too crazy

[exotic idol]

I think it would feel better in the monos werent so monotone and there was more stuff going on to keep us occupied

im just waiting for the next big update bc im p burned out from monos

[latent canyon]

Oh yea if you push difficulty it will get to that point

But that is you have to get thru the grind first

[exotic idol]

ya

nothing to say that hasnt been said

[latent canyon]

Most players quit tho. I hope the devs understand what is going on and addresses it

[exotic idol]

I think we will have to wait for 1.0

I really hope the game grows into a great competitor to poe

I see so muhc potential

much*

[latent canyon]

👍

[fading imp]

Is there a faster way to respec mastery or do i have to respec each point one by one?

[sterile bane]

one by one

[surreal verge]

Sadly, one by one

[fading imp]

So click and enter is fastest?

[surreal verge]

Yes

[fading imp]

Thank you

After respeccing, my skills are level 7, where would be best to get levels? (since i cant do monoliths)

Level 55 rn

[sterile bane]

you can do monos.

and i wouldnt respec till you get to monos, since thats the best way to get exp

you can also have someone carry you so you can get more exp

[fading imp]

I tried a mono yeah seems doable

[surreal verge]

You have access to monoliths as soon as getting your subclass

[sterile bane]

damn died on champion areana

does this only drop from champ?

[surreal verge]

No

[sterile bane]

wow. well i got lucky because i actually needed that

i got the rogue bee helmet

[sinful laurel]

Buzz buzz

[lost delta]

Can someone tell me if Physical or Spell damage is a better boost to Thorn Totems? It 'seems' tha physical would be since it states spell dmg is added at 75%. Is that a correct assumption?

[desert tree]

If you are talking about increased physical minion dmg or Inc spell minion dmg they applies at the same rate

[desert tree]

Where did you see that 75% rate?

[lost delta]

See above.

[surreal verge]

That's for added (Aka flat)

If you're talking about increased, then they are the same, and is not affected by that multiplier

[lost delta]

Perfect, that's what I was looking for. Thanks!

[pearl plank]

Does flat lightning damage for you also apply to crows if you have the Fulminating Caw node?

Or just % increases

[blissful veldt]

I am using minions, they stay alive after i die?

Are they invulnerable or they still can die?
Is it a viable tactic to die and let minions kill boss if all i want is to progress to next island?

[desert tree]

It specifies "increase" so no flat

[latent canyon]

Le fuck is effectiveness about

Does it mean the scaling with lightning flat

[vale lake]

I take it it's just 100% increased damage turns into 30% crow damage in this case
Not flat involved at all

IE the effectiveness of lightning damage* for Crow becomes 30% (the asterisk being about what you get with alt press, the elemental damage and general increases working as well)

[latent canyon]

Thats very confusing ngl

But at 5pts it's 150%

So its no longer reduced

[vale lake]

Damn you can give crows a lot of increases, do they lack decent more ?

[latent canyon]

I have a suspension that flat dmg also scales it

They have some good more

[vale lake]

It technically doesn't say it doesn't affect flat

[latent canyon]

I glanced over the tree yesterday

Yea "increases" is a very vague term

[vale lake]

Clarity is always an ongoing nightmare for devs in ARPG lol

[latent canyon]

At least its easy to test

Use the wand that only gives lightning spell dmg

And test

[astral steppe]

hi I'm interested in the game, how often does it go on sale?

[sterile bane]

if you are interested you shouldnt care if it goes on sale

buy the game and enjoy it

youll never have to buy a dlc, dont worry bout the price worry bout how much youll have to spend over time

[native sail]

The game isn't going on sale again until 1.0, which is planned for the end of the year

[knotty tinsel]

ucenuis sphere crows sounds spicy

though you'd have to run 0 attunement

actually nevermind

as spicy as my grandma's potato mash

[turbid field]

Does the implicit on this effect all things (skills/procs/etc) or just the weapon gets +4% base crit?

[dense root]

everything is global

[sinful laurel]

Unless it specifies of course, which this one doesnt

[stoic marsh]

What's the best way to farm - https://i.redd.it/746iegrfxywa1.png ?

[dense root]

black sun timeline but also 3lp is rare enough that i wouldn’t get your hopes up

[stoic marsh]

I just need the helm for my VK, don't care about LP.

[faint cape]

Yeah, two problems with this, unfortunately. First is that primalist has base attunement which wonks things up. Second is that the crows snapshot your lightning damage at the time you spawn them (and maybe at other random times, too, since companions are weird)

[wide sentinel]

you would be much better with well made exalt on a good base, that helm is nothing special

especially on vk, so many good helm affixes

[faint cape]

^ it's great if you happen to have it while leveling, but by the time you can farm it, it's obsolete

[wide sentinel]

ye its like...ok at best for lvling

and maybe fine with 3-4lp but good luck getting that

[faint cape]

oh yeah, if you just happen to have a super sick legendary one, it'll be amazing for leveling, but that goes for literally every unique helm lol

[fading imp]

Is it hard to grind rune of shattering?

[stoic marsh]

@fading imp Jsut make a habit of buying them from the store .

[fading imp]

Do they replenish endlessly?

[stoic marsh]

They refresh with store inventory, and you can visit different vendors for more.

[fading imp]

Doing a harvest lich build anyone know why my health is continuously draining? It even reaches 0 here. I double checked any passives/skills/items/idols i have and none mention health drain

[vale lake]

Are you sure it's not a passive ? Lich has a lot of current health drained node

And if your regen doesn't keep up to keep you low health I'm guessing you have a titan's heart

[fading imp]

Nvm i see it now checked again sorry!

[balmy ember]

does flame ward stay up as long as i don't lose the generated ward?

[surreal verge]

No there's a duration, check the skill again

[balmy ember]

Yeah just saw it thanks

[thin tinsel]

if an item on LE tools says effective lvl 0 for legendary potential that means it has very high chance for it right?

[surreal verge]

Yes.

[thin tinsel]

hmm 4lp peak 👀

[knotty tinsel]

very possible

even just 2lp is a solid item and basically free

[cedar locust]

Hi, if this is still an issue - Teleport back to outcast camp, talked to Cailyn again as if you're taking the quest for the first time, and when you go to the forge, the quest should end properly!

[knotty tinsel]

fellas fellettes what's the strategy for first phase lightless arbor, to lure the one big hit away from the corner? just walk back and forth and pray you time it right?

[candid elm]

It's been a while, but I believe the boss always does that really big attack on the left side first, then immediately afterwards the right side. There's a write up on maxroll for it the dungeon with a pretty detailed boss section towards the bottom https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/dungeons/lightless-arbor-dungeon-guide

[dense root]

you destroy the right side barrier thing while it does a big attack on the left and then leave your fire thingy there while you dodge the big attack on the right yeah

[fading imp]

What can i do with unwanted exalted items? Do i just sell them?

[native sail]

If they're useful for something in the future (or for legendary slams) might as well save em, if they aren't it's honestly not worth picking them up

[sterile bane]

just keep buying stash tabs

[native sail]

TRUE

[fading imp]

Do we ever get anything worth in the gambler or i get most of the items i want endgame from drops?

[native sail]

Gambler NPC caps at level 40 gear so

Mostly drops, dungeons help too

[fading imp]

I see. Real endgame starts at empowered monoliths? Everyhthing i get at normal monoliths will eventually be replaced?

[native sail]

Yes and no on replacing everything. RNG is a cruel mistress. But eventually, given enough time and farming, you should have far better stuff on yes.

And yeah, endgame starts in empowered, most people go for about 300ish corruption, some lunatics go dramatically higher than that, I find the highest it can go before just being tedious and annoying is about 800

[fading imp]

Thanks. Also is there any point to fill the stability bar or once i can finish quest for that timeline i just go ahead and finish it?

[sterile bane]

@fading imp theres a special gambler at a dungeon that is worth it. unless something changes the normal gambler is never worth it, unless maybe you are bored and have hundreds of millions of gold, but i doubt anyone would ever get there.

[sterile bane]

the stability bar is important for empowered, for normal just finish the boss and move on

[fading imp]

I have a few keys for the three dungeons though idk if i can take them on at level 67?

Also my skills barely level up anymore, im level 67 doing a level 70 monolith

Kinda stuck on level 18

[sterile bane]

level 18??

[fading imp]

The skills

[sterile bane]

its just like every ARPG, the last 2 levels are 40-50% of all exp

i played a game once that 50-60(60 being max) was 50% of all exp

[fading imp]

Have a +2 on harvest and +1 on reaper but otherwise, they've all stayhed at 18 for lioke 2 monoliths now

Ohh i see

[sterile bane]

wait, why aer you using the teleport move as a skill?

[fading imp]

automatically applies bone curse, tho i just copied this one off of maxroll, their lich harvest guide

since this is just my first character

[latent canyon]

Not quite true in this game

[sterile bane]

i didnt say it was exactly that just saying that usually the last couple of levels require more and more exp

[sterile bane]

ohh this is lich, nvm

i just started playing necro thats why i was wondering

[native sail]

Actually they're levelgated

[knotty tinsel]

I'm currently level 99 and a half for the first time and I can attest it's really not that slow

[native sail]

Yeah

A character that's like 75 or higher can max their skills in like one echo, two tops

[thin tinsel]

Is there a good overview of idol affixes somewhere? Just wanna browse through all mage idols for example to get some ideas what could work for a new build LE tools is a bit annoying to go trough for that tbh

[fading imp]

Ahh i was wondering this maybe that explains why. So im guessing level 18 with a fifth of the bar is max for level 67?>

[sterile bane]

i didnt know that

[native sail]

You'll probably get 20s soon after 70. It's hard to judge exactly when, I stop paying attention around then

[faint cape]

20 is about level 75-76ish

[sterile bane]

worked thanks

[sterile sandal]

so I want to confirm something from testing: Locust Swarm, the bloodlust swarm node is 50% increased damage per bleed stack consumed. This effectively makes "increased damage" sources elsewhere next to useless? (since I can consume currently up to 700ish bleed stacks, with 500 being more a real world number) Also, the base damage is +10 physical/+10 poison, and each consumed locust adds +15 physical/+15 poison (I currently can consume up to 14, for a total of +220 to each). This makes added flat damage less useful? Given these 2, what affixes should I focus on for my weapons and other gear to further increase damage?

I also noticed from dummy testing there is a very wide variance on damage per tick (not the tick damage itself, but the damage for say 400 bleed stacks consumed varies from 250K to 400K or so, and sometimes the tick is half this amount.

[latent canyon]

yes inc is useless for that build. the half dmg number is because its technically 0.33sec per tick but the game only updates every 0.66sec. so sometimes you miss the window and only get one tick in 0.66sec window and most of the time you get 2

[sterile sandal]

so I'm actually doing 1 big number + 1 small number per second? (which on dummy at 700 bleed would be about a million added together). but why the wide variance in those 2 numbers for similar bleed consumed?

like those 2 numbers could be 600K/300K, and another time be 400K/200K for similar bleed

[latent canyon]

no you do 2 small ticks combined normally per dmg number tick

that's prolly cuz you didnt consume all 15 locusts

[sterile sandal]

they're all consumed, it's me standing at the dummy

[latent canyon]

then idk

[sterile sandal]

if it's 0.33 sec per tick, and the game updates every 0.66, then most of the time it's adding 2 ticks worth to display?

[latent canyon]

yes

its possible that you have poison stacks on one of the dummy that's why it is taking more dmg

[sterile sandal]

so dps wise, it would be big number + small number

[latent canyon]

varying poison stacks reducing diff posion res

no?

[sterile sandal]

if big number is 0.66 (2 ticks), that's 0.66 seconds, damage per second, you'd need 1 second

[latent canyon]

no the ticks are every 0.66 sec

not every 1

[sterile sandal]

correct, but if I'm figuring damage per second, I'd have to add another 0.33

[latent canyon]

ehh then you just multiply 1.5

[sterile sandal]

which explains why my own crude calculation of damage was off a bit

so increased damage is useless, and flat damage is less useful, I should just focus on ramping up bleed stacks more? (poison I can easily reach the 30+ when I throw out vines)

[latent canyon]

flat dmg is very useful wdym

[sterile sandal]

I consume 14 locusts, base is 10 phys/10 poison, each locust adds +15 phys/15 poison, for a total of 440 (20 + 420)

my 2 current weapons combined have +166

[latent canyon]

you can just take your wep off and report back

also i dont think locusts add base dmg

[sterile sandal]

each locust consumed adds +15 melee physical, +15 melee poison, 15% increased area, and 15% increased duration

[dense root]

even if we assume the locusts do add base damage isn't 166 a significant portion of the flat damage you're describing?

[knotty tinsel]

I never want to see the words melee and poison consecutively. too cursed

[dense root]

like 166/(166+440) is what? .28?

[sterile sandal]

I'm not saying I'm going to ignore flat damage, just that compared to most builds it's not as much of a boost

I actually did test taking off +100 of that damage, while there was a drop, it wasn't a large one

[latent canyon]

are you maxed out at 400stacks on a dummy?

[sterile sandal]

400 bleed? I can get it a little over 700 on dummy

the 400ish was just locusts

[latent canyon]

oh ok then you are doing pretty well

[sterile sandal]

thank you 🙂 and I'm only level 70 with so so gear

[weak flare]

In monoliths, can generic "Set/Unique" rewards be any set/unique? Or is there a small pool it draws from?

[faint cape]

It pulls from the 'random drop' pool, so anything that can drop anywhere

(which is everything that isn't a boss drop or with some other special method to obtain)

[weak flare]

Oh! Ok, so like...Bleeding heart, which says ""Unique or Set Amulet" echo rewards" could drop it? Or does that mean specifically an amulet drop?

[faint cape]

If you are looking at LE Tools, that's the suggestion for target farming, which is something you do in monster level 100 areas for the most part. The thing that tells you it can drop anywhere is where it says "Random Drop (rarity)"

by anywhere, I mean anywhere that has a monster level at least as high as the level requirement for that unique

[weak flare]

oh thats awesome, thank you!

[stoic marsh]

Exclusive echo rewards. are those from final boss or from set/unique echos ?

[latent canyon]

the node doesnt work as intended. the base dmg one

tested just early

put in 2 pts. i should have 90 more base dmg while using 1h mace which only has 100base

so i shoud have like nearly double the tick dmg but its like 20%

cuz i was like how are you doing less than a mil per tick with 700 stacks it confused me

i got it to 4mil offline. my friend who has gg gear online got it to 6mil per tick

and you also are dwing. both me and my friend are using 1h mace

[faint cape]

locusts don't add base damage, they give added damage (which is basically the same since the damage effectiveness is 100%)

but the combo of 15 locusts + tons of bleed is basically where all your flat + increased damage needs come from; makes getting extra of either much less effective %-wise

[faint cape]

Exclusive echo rewards means the special half-green/half-orange echoes that give a "unique or set X". There are no items that only drop from specific echoes (unless you count bosses or the shade as echoes, which I guess technically they are)

[stoic marsh]

Am i the only one sick and tired of watching a single damn forge, eat up ALL FP... ?.

[pastel pebble]

Sounds kinda like a user based problem to me

[stoic marsh]

How the FK is RNG a user problem !?!?.

are you stupid ?

[native sail]

🎣

[stoic marsh]

we should be able to use more glyphs of hope to achieve a more secure forging.

[native sail]

I rarely have that much of an issue with it tbh

[pastel pebble]

Not so stupid as to eat the most obvious bait around

[native sail]

Because as you stated

It is RNG

So

YMMV

[pastel pebble]

RNG be RNG

[latent canyon]

the first level fp upper limit fp cost is def a lil too high imo

getting fucked on a t1 feels horrible

[pastel pebble]

I may not deny it but I do chuckle at the absurdity of just getting absolutely fucked by RNG

[latent canyon]

getting fucked at t2-5 is fine

but not at t1

[native sail]

I am of the opinion that the upper end of FP consumption is a little high. I do not think the solution is to further increase the chance of not using FP.

[latent canyon]

the fp cost of the upgrades vs the scaling of affix tiers is so obviously out of proportion

maybe there is some other factors that they also took into consideration like the power diff of having the right affixes vs not is huge. but still at tier 1 its so low power that it costing almost 20 fp just isnt reasonable

[native sail]

Yeah, bring it down to like 15ish imo

[latent canyon]

i assume though its just one of the intentional obstacles to prolong gameplay

[faint cape]

Gives a lot more value to items that drop with the right affixes already on, or just more affix tiers

Which is nice since IIR ups the avg number of tiers, making that still a good thing

[viscid ocean]

so I just fought the shade of oryboss guy for the first time

is he supposed to be noticably harder than anything else up to that point?

ive been running echo's, playing aura of decay/reaper, and can literally stand in everything with the aura killing stuff and my health doesnt even move no matter how much stuff is hitting me

just tried that boss for the first time and he one shots me lol

[surreal verge]

I hope you have health/resistances

[safe harness]

he has some 1 shot moves

like the pizza

or meteor

[surreal verge]

Meteor isn't a hard one shot right? it just hurts like a total bitch

[white shard]

is there a way to selectively hide tracking of specific quests?

[surreal verge]

Nope, you're stuck with them forever.

[knotty tinsel]

the pizza deserves to be a true oneshot, 9999999 damage

if you get hit by that that's on you brother

[sterile widget]

Get back to your boulder, Sisyphus. The adults are busy trying to get better loot in a video game. HANG ON

[knotty tinsel]

one must imagine samjok'o happy

[sinful laurel]

One is unable to achieve said task

[wide sentinel]

Enjoy while it lasts, this game isnt made to facetank anything even monos, youll see when you get to higher scaling

[sterile sandal]

it does work as intended. Did you include the +15 melee/+15 poison per locust consumed? With 15 locusts consumed, that's 450 damage (plus the 10/10 base, so 470). With 100 damage from mace, that's 570. Adding 90 to that, gives 660, so 20% actually would be a little high. As for why I'm under 1 million at 700 bleed stacks, my gear isn't that good and I probably don't have optimal nodes setup. Things like physical penetration (which I lack atm) and physical resistance shred (ditto) are probably also factors.

[sterile bane]

700 bleed stacks?

[latent canyon]

Yes take out those points and report back

And the comparison was made with just 2 extra points in the node.

From zero

[sterile sandal]

I would imagine hitting 1500+ bleed stacks is probably possible

[sterile sandal]

I don't understand what you mean by this, take out points and report back. It seems to me that the node works as intended, based on your numbers. So 5 points in the node would mean about a 45% damage increase for you. Probably about 40% for me, since I'm using 2 weapons. I really need to play around with the nodes and see which ones are best, because my thought is ones which seem to be really good may not be because of the way Locust Swarm works

[latent canyon]

no. based on the base dmg i had. which was around 100 from wep+base sill. put in 2 pts. i should have 90 more base dmg. it should be 90% more dmg

but its only 20%

how do you explain

old spec vs new

[sterile sandal]

you talking about the tooltip or dummy damage?

[latent canyon]

obv dummy

[sterile sandal]

"For each Locust consumed the Swarm gains +15 melee physical, +15 melee poison damage, 15% increased duration, and 15% increased area"

[latent canyon]

dude i only have 2 pts in it

[sterile sandal]

the skill base damage is +10 physical and +10 poison (per lastepochtools)

[latent canyon]

its 2/5 x 15=6

6x15=90

[sterile sandal]

that has nothing to do with that node?

[latent canyon]

it does...

very confused

[sterile sandal]

if you consume 0 locusts, the Locust Swarm damage is crap

[latent canyon]

huh?

[sterile sandal]

if you consume 15 locusts, the damage is very high

[latent canyon]

its 15 locust and 6per

[sterile sandal]

the swarm strike skill, if you hold alt while your cursor is on it, it will show the text I have in quotes

I can't screenshot it with my laptop because I have to hold alt to show what I want to screenshot

[sterile sandal]

this is what I'm referring to. This is Swarm Strike. The 300% per second to the Swarm obviously is incorrect

[latent canyon]

sec let me test again

[sterile sandal]

it's why I haven't picked up locust #15, because the increased damage would only be about 7%

and the bleed stack increase would be like 4% (since my 14 locusts do about 400ish and everything total is about 700)

[latent canyon]

oh this whole time i tought you were talking about

this node

[buoyant trench]

What is a good beginner build for cold damage that is not DoT Warebear?

(I've yet to do a single cold build.)

[latent canyon]

glacier

[sterile sandal]

I can break 950 bleed stacks now (still no squirrels)

[steep night]

why cant i upgrade the mana prefix, and use a glyph of chaos?

i dont want the mana mod, and i have 22 mana prefix shards

[desert tree]

My guess is the mana you have on your helmet is %increased and the one in your inventory is flat added

[steep night]

ohhhh yup its increased vs flat. ty.

[snow anchor]

Hi I'm so wondering if there's anyone who uses then mobile version of geoforce now to play it and how it performs?

[desert tree]

I have seen a few people talking about it

Seems pretty smooth

Except for copying loot filters

[burnt jetty]

usually there is a difference in copying the lootfilter using the clipboard vs downloading and placing the lootfilter on the correct folder?

[desert tree]

No difference

[cedar locust]

From my experience - Players using GeForce Now don't have more gameplay issues than everyone else, there's two thing s that come to mind though -

1. The copy/paste limits mean loot filters aren't as easy (though that's a minor thing, loot filters are easy to set-up in game and you can get advice about them from players here!)

2. You won't be able to get to your player.log files for bug reports, so screenshots/video will be useful to grab if you can!

You can always use the Discord search bar to look up 'GeForce Now' or 'GFN' to see what other players have said

[fading imp]

How do you max out your resistances?

[sinful laurel]

Starting out, resistances are suffixes on most gear pieces, resistances in passive trees, resistances in some buff skills, resistances in blessings from monos

[safe harness]

idols, implicits, passive tree

[sinful laurel]

Eventually you want to move away from resistances on gear as your overall setup gets more efficient

[dense root]

run empowered timeline 10000 times

easy max resistances

[fading imp]

i feel like im struggling on level 75 monos as a level 72 lich coz my resistances are very low

[dense root]

there's more going on there

resistances wouldn't be enough on their own

[sinful laurel]

Days is right, there are likely more systemic issues with your build than just resistances

[pastel pebble]

How's your HP?

[dense root]

6

[pastel pebble]

Hmm

Reasonable

[sinful laurel]

6??? You need at LEAST 7

[dense root]

not all of us are trying to push 1500c

stop being so elitist

[sinful laurel]

Fuck. You're right. I've become corrupted

Shame spiral

[surreal verge]

Hmm, lich has easy source of leech and it's literally half their identify, have you been taking leech passive nodes?

[buoyant trench]

Besides Voidknight, can any other class do "autobomber"?

[safe harness]

crackling assault werebear

[faint cape]

Shaman can set their entire bar on autocast. Not sure too much about others, but maybe some potential in sorc?

[fading imp]

yeah but theres this annoying node that drains health. Im just following the maxroll lich guide. I think my gear just sucks because im new and idk how to upgrade my gear accordingly? Like im greeding my affixes for when i get gear from empowered monos but i cant even reach empowered monos lol

[fading imp]

ohh so capped resistances arent mandatory at that level yet? for reference, the build im using is the harvest lich build from maxroll.

[fading imp]

Around 900

[dense root]

900 hp is way too low i'm pretty sure

[pastel pebble]

For 75? Yeah

[fading imp]

Yeah but im struggling to find idols with HP prefix and suffix

Or do i just use my affixes on my armor

[pastel pebble]

Your armor will go farther

[dense root]

get hp on your armor yes

[fading imp]

I wont run out of affixes?

[native sail]

The trick is that resistance affixes are a noob trap

Health affixes are way, WAY better

[fading imp]

for all? or specifically lich?

[native sail]

For everyone.

[faint cape]

Yeah, well yes and no. Early game you might be best off with a mix, or if you've gotten idols for it you can cover resists for the specific content you're running. You want health plus multiple defensive layers, and until you do farm up good resist blessings in level 100 content, resists are definitely still valuable, just not as valuable as people are used to for ARPGs.

[fading imp]

Should i be slamming my health affixes on my current gear? Or do i push through and wait til i get actual endgame gear

[pastel pebble]

If you can try to add it in now. You'll be changing your gear a good bit rn as you're still progressing through unempowered IIRC

[fading imp]

is it easy to farm affixes later on?

[faint cape]

Add them in now, you'll get way more of those affixes than you could ever use without specifically farming for anything

particularly the common ones, you'll know rare ones because you'll have very few of them in your inventory

(rare ones are pretty easy to farm, too, you just set your filter to highlight items with them on and salvage)

[fading imp]

I see. Thank you! I was worried id run out of them if i just keep on using

[surreal verge]

What's with everyone going harvest lich as leveling-

[native sail]

Maxroll.

[surreal verge]

That's the thing, it's a lich thing, You'll be aiming for leech and high hp regen to offset those

[surreal verge]

What the fuck is maxroll smoking

[pastel pebble]

More of a what isn't it smoking

[fading imp]

Nah i was using my own hungering souls lich to level

But i rly wanted to try a harvest lich

[acoustic thicket]

new player here.. am lvl 64 been using golem necro build to level. is that still the ideal endgame build for that mastery?

[surreal verge]

There's some variety for necro builds.

Flame Wraiths, solo golem bone nova, multi golem aarons will...

[strange parcel]

How do I check what mods this item can have on lastepochtools ?

[sinful laurel]

By clicking on it and going to the prefix and suffix tabs

[strange parcel]

I did click on it

dont see prefix sufix tab tho

[sinful laurel]

Through the build planner

[strange parcel]

ah ok thx

[balmy ember]

what are some good sorc skills

[sinful laurel]

All of them (except black hole)

[surreal verge]

Isn't blackhole like mage's only terrible skill?

[sinful laurel]

Yeah. Actually terrible

Other skills are more or less strong but all of them are usable and good in their own ways at least

[balmy ember]

thanks imma be using the lightning skills

[sinful laurel]

LB very good, SO very good. Both great skills to build around. Ele nova good too if you want that style

Lightning meteors with the set is also quite good

[faint cape]

Spark charges are really fun as well, gotta use the catalyst (not hard to farm)

[sinful laurel]

Yes that too, both as sorc and as SB

[quartz blaze]

blackhole not dealing void damage is a true tragedy

[indigo grove]

has there been a character wipe? (last time I played was around january)

nevermind...found them under "offline" 😄

[knotty tinsel]

it was basically a wipe for people that wanna play offline in the future

so... depends 😛 you can totally keep rocking on in the blessed lands of 0ms

[acoustic thicket]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzpumI6x7rw&ab_channel=ActionRPG can someone explain me so i dont have to the quest with my alts ony 3 dungeons and i am full slot full passives ?

[desert tree]

Skipping campaign with dongeons do not give you any idol slots or passives

Imo the best way to lvl an alt is to do all the side quests as soon as they appear and by the time you reach Tethima you will be lvl 40-50 with all yours idols and passives

[carmine coyote]

You'd rather skip everything side and once you finish "Heorot last blessing" go back and do the missing quests for slots/passives

[knotty tinsel]

some of them are more convenient to get on the way tbf

unless you're moving at 0ms while leveling and go back with t7ms legendary booties on

[desert tree]

Anyone has managed to do smth with a scale of Eterra unique relic?

[formal grotto]

Guys, I got a pretty low roll grand hunger of the void blessing. To get a higher roll I should just do the mono again or there is something extra that I need to do?

[dense root]

just have to run it over and over again until you get a roll you like

[formal grotto]

But the same blessing can appear again even if I already have it selected?

[dense root]

yes

[formal grotto]

Nice. Thanks for helping me ❤️

[surreal verge]

Just note that you can also GET another roll that's lower.

So good luck may RNG bless you.

[sterile bane]

ACHIEVEMENTS CONFIRMED!!!!!!!!!!!

[faint cape]

It has been confirmed for a while, we just don't know when

[sterile bane]

well i wasnt here when it was

[sterile bane]

what rune is this last one that i am missing?

[dense root]

creation

[flint grail]

Creation. The one that duplicates

But reduces FP to 0

[sterile bane]

ohhh ive heard of that one

yea ive never seen one

and it can duplicate any weapon right?

[dense root]

any rare or exalted item with greater than zero fp

[native sail]

Any non-unique or legendary equipment as long as it has at least 1FP left

[dense root]

i guess you actually only need to say the part about fp

since that excludes the types it doesn't work on anyway

[sterile bane]

ohhh so not uniques?

[native sail]

It would be exceptionally broken if it could duplicate uniques

[sterile bane]

i mean i was thinking it was LE mirror

is it less rare in 200+corr?

[native sail]

Mirrors can't duplicate uniques though

[native sail]

They're always fairly rare, really. Most consistent source of them is Lightless Arbor in my experience.

[sterile bane]

ohhh i dont play poe

i thougth they did

[native sail]

Nah. Mirrors are so, so, so fucking rare that most people will never drop one. There are people who have been playing at extreme high end content for 10 years without seeing one drop. They get used for exceptionally good rare items, the likes of which will never be crafted again. And LE just doesn't have items that compare to that so we don't have them anywhere close to as rare.

[sterile bane]

i get it

[dense root]

plenty of people will play for thousands of hours without ever seeing a mirror yeah

also runes of creation don't work the way mirrors do

since you can only use a rune to copy an item once but you can mirror an item forever

[sterile bane]

but once u use a mirror its gone right?

[knotty tinsel]

so is a rune of creation?

[broken burrow]

Yeah

[sterile bane]

but if u can use the rune on a item that is at 0 why cant you use it on the same item over and over?

[native sail]

You can't use the rune on an item at 0 though

It has to have AT LEAST 1 FP left

[sterile bane]

ahhhhh

i guess this is another reason why they neer want to make a way for an item to regain fp

[native sail]

Yeeeeeah.... Regaining FP would be immense power creep

[buoyant trench]

Is there a way to auto cast on controller?

[timid monolith]

That’s a good question

I would also like to know the answer

[pastel pebble]

A good piece of tape

[knotty tinsel]

look at medusa while holding down the button

but watch out

[timid monolith]

I was thinking maybe a rubber band may work

[red inlet]

Where can I go for like, finding leveling builds? Maxroll?

[pastel pebble]

Maxroll and LastEpochTools has a ton of resources

[serene patrol]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/
Just type beginner or leveling in the search bar

[hearty cypress]

I need streamer help - can any of you help me register via bot on LE streaming server? If any of you can help me, please send me a private message

[spark siren]

Question about making legendaries, if i have a 2h axe unique with LP do I need to combine it with a 2h axe exalted or any 2h weapon exalted will work?

[native sail]

Has to be a 2H axe

[spark siren]

i see, ty!

[broken burrow]

axe

[faint cape]

#🔴┃livestream-shoutout? you don't need to do anything, it's automatic

[tardy scroll]

been away for a few months and didnt even realize we're on a whole new campaign lol. Is the original campaing still playable? 😮

[vale lake]

Only first act has been revamped

[tardy scroll]

oh ok. gotta say its much better so far!

[vale lake]

It definitely is ! Lots of positive feedback came out of it apparently
And no, you can't play the previous campign anymore btw

[tardy scroll]

I mean like you said its only the first act so its w/e

[shrewd dune]

Just curious to know if there's controller support for the game. Mostly will be playing on keyboard and mouse but occasionally I get bad headaches to where I wanna lay in bed to play. So was curious If there's controller support for the game?

[native sail]

There is, it isn't perfect though

[pastel pebble]

I play exclusively on controller. Its definitely playable and only really feels clunky with inventory management but it is far from unbearable

[shrewd dune]

Awesome that's good to know that I can still be able to play when I need to lay down due to a headache. Thanks for the help 🙂

[serene patrol]

Does corruption/ increased rarity/quantiy affect boss drops? If not is the optimal strategy to farm boss uniques just to stay at a low corruption for speed?

[faint cape]

Yes, they affect drop chance of the rare drops. Corruption and distance from the center also affect stability gain (can offset slowdown from enemy health). 200 corruption also unlocks the last blessing pick.

[fading imp]

Do you lose rewards if you die on quest echos or no?

[surreal verge]

Quest echoes only have the chest as a reward, but yes you do lose them on death.

[fading imp]

I see. I thought I had unlimited tries on lagon and just have to do random echoes to keep up the stability lol

[surreal verge]

You technically do

You just lose that attempt's extras

[fading imp]

So you only get the extras on the first try? Which are the extras anyway? The one on the chest? Or on the glowy orange orb?

Around when is 0.9.2 release? Iirc they said they have a somewhat regular interval on release of stuff. I just saw moxjet’s reddit post so just wanna know when I should get hyped for patch notes LOL

[surreal verge]

Aug is current estimate

[surreal verge]

The chest, also the last quest echo doesn't have extra loot apart from boss drops.

[surreal pagoda]

how can i fix overscaled ui? parts of it go outside screen area

[cedar locust]

Hello! There are a lot of threads in the Forums that have advice for controller set up if you need them 🙂

I have this reddit thread saved to help with Movement skills just in case it'll help our controller players - https://old.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/14j2whh/simple_movement_skill_fix/

Let us know if you have any more questions! And

[sterile bane]

DEV STREAM NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!

[stoic marsh]

So.. i just watched a video about crafting and how to make uniques. I'm trying to get the [Decayed Skull] Can i use any helm to try and craft it ?.

[knotty tinsel]

uniques are either dropped randomly as you play, or by specific bosses. Some of them have item bases that don't exist normally and are only used for those uniques

If you want to use a rune of ascension, any helmet will produce the same result, regardless of base type.

[stoic marsh]

@knotty tinsel Ye Decayed Skull is based on the Domecap helmet , which is only used for 2 helms in the game.. and doesn't drop as normal loot. So i guess i have to continue farming.

Looks like i'm gonna have to farm Black sun monolith for the decayed skull..

[cedar locust]

Well have some ✨ ~DropRateLuck~ ✨ !

[knotty tinsel]

yoink

my luck now

[pastel pebble]

No!

That was for me!!

[cedar locust]

I have plenty to go around Torgor,~~ ✨ ~DropRateLuck~ ✨~~, here

[pastel pebble]

Mine

[knotty tinsel]

oooo, two doses for me

[cedar locust]

And for your Darth,~~ ✨ ~DropRateLuck~ ✨~~

[pastel pebble]

Fuck off, Torg

That's my luck!

I need it to find my 4lp Apathatic Mouth

[cedar locust]

Oi! Share or I take them all away!

[pastel pebble]

Over my mutilated corpse!

[knotty tinsel]

https://tenor.com/view/suck-the-internet-meme-memes-bad-gif-19072823

[cedar locust]

That's it, I've taken it back

You too Torgor!

[pastel pebble]

I've yet to be slain, stabbed, or mutilated

Wardguard is the most item hungry build in the game

It needs extra support

[pastel pebble]

I'm unironically one of the luckier players I think

[surreal verge]

You don’t need the domecap to use an ascendace for a decayed skull

You just need any helm

And also pray to rng

[astral steppe]

Hi, is there an option to skip the campaign with your second character?

[sterile bane]

no

well yes but no

[cedar locust]

So who's excited for the Dev stream tonight?

[pastel pebble]

I'm packing and cleabing for a trip

So I cannot

We leave at 3am with the kids so I'll be there in spirit

[cedar locust]

Well I hope you have a great trip, you can always find out why Mike is grossed out when you get back 😅

[pastel pebble]

Is this a method to force him to buff VK with glancing blows and endurance threshhold that scales off all stats?

[cedar locust]

Oh no, so much worse 😆

[limpid sequoia]

what time is it?

[cedar locust]

This should be in your local time 😊

<t:1689969600:F>

The tweet says 3pm CDT - https://twitter.com/LastEpoch/status/1682419284574650368

[desert tree]

What is Mike playing tonight?

[cedar locust]

Not sure, he has a few characters he likes to pull up

[limpid sequoia]

Oh how do you know my local time thats cool

[cedar locust]

It's actually https://hammertime.cyou/en-GB - it syncs to your local time, then you can input a time and get a code to create several date/time combinations that will always sync to the viewers local time 🙂

[limpid sequoia]

I know this is compeletely unrelated to what we were talking about just now but,
may I ask how to calculate negative armour increased damage taken for both phys and elemental hits

[desert tree]

The same way positive armor reduces dmg

[limpid sequoia]

Oh dang yeah that's pretty cool haha

[desert tree]

There is the formula I think I the game guide

[limpid sequoia]

Hmm, then the effect is more underwhelming for massive stacks than what I thought

I wanted to run a murder with str scaled armour shred effect

[sterile bane]

i cant tell if its my lag or if i just suck but i always die on rahyeh with the circle void thing

[faint cape]

Yeah, just like armor, armor shred has diminishing returns. It is super useful on all hit builds, but it's never going to be the bulk of your damage scaling, since even extreme stacks will only give you about 80% more physical hit damage.

the in-game guide's armor formula it slightly off (one number is wrong in it), but you can see both armor and armor shred calcs here: https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/armor

[shrewd dune]

Thank you I appreciate it I shall look it over once I'm home from work 🙂

[spark siren]

i have the question, is the 4% dmg per str a multiplicative one? Like if I get 10 str its 40% dmg but its better than a generic 40% damage like lets say void damage which is additive? or is all of it additive?

[safe harness]

its additive

with other % increases

[spark siren]

so the only source of multiplicative damage is from things on the skill's tree?

[safe harness]

not completely, but those are the easiest to get

[spark siren]

i see

[safe harness]

for example theres a unique ring that gives 1% more damage per shock on the enemy

and there are some more damage multipliers in some class passive points, like primalist has a 100% more melee damage when on low life

[spark siren]

gotcha, i thought attributes might be its own damage bracket, but good to know

[safe harness]

also this

https://i.imgur.com/d0wV9y9.png

[spark siren]

oo that looks neat, too bad i am playing a void based char heh

i really like the itemisation of LE, so so easy to get into and not many pitfalls

[native sail]

The strongest part of it is the armor, people use it more for that than anything

[spark siren]

i see!

also this is a good item? Feels strong but idk if it works the way i think it does

[desert tree]

1lp bastion... Holy moly

[spark siren]

funny enough i just got it as a drop just now

[desert tree]

That's the best shield in the game

Even without the lp

[spark siren]

is this sarcasm or ..?

OH

[desert tree]

Nope

[spark siren]

i have a non-lp one also got it while unlocking monoliths

[desert tree]

It's so good most people will tell you this is the only valuable shield

[spark siren]

i see, i need to see what build can use it, neither of my builds use a shield

[desert tree]

If you are not playing a range character

[spark siren]

my sorc needs a unique off-hand and vk needs a 2h axe unique so doesn't work for me

[desert tree]

On the lp one you can try slamming block effectiveness or less dmg taken on block

[spark siren]

i been trying to get a culnivar's for so long i keep getting rare uniques like aaron's will and that devotion amulet etc but not getting the sceptre

[desert tree]

Are you farming the right timeline?

[spark siren]

yes stolen lance

i am only 150-ish corruption but its weird to get all these rarer uniques but not that

[desert tree]

I dropped a bastion and 3 aurora time glass before I manage to get a bleeding heart

[spark siren]

dunno aurora, will look it up, and haha yeah my bleeding heart drop rate is same as my bastion right now XD

[native sail]

Well, no, Bastion loses to a couple of other shields with LP

[desert tree]

Aurora is a very rare amulet 80% reroll chance

[desert tree]

I can't see any other beside the endurance shield

[native sail]

Flayer's Pride, Bulwark, Horns of Uhkeiros, Face of The Mountain

Those all get used with LP and end up better than Bastion

[spark siren]

i just saw, thats a cool amulet

[desert tree]

You don't get as many defense

[native sail]

You literally can still get 100% block chance

[desert tree]

How do you do with this one?

T7 is 24%

[native sail]

That one doesn't need it, it gives you better than pure block for relevant builds cuz you use Valdyr's with it

[desert tree]

?

[native sail]

Bastion is not the end all be all of shields, it's a known thing, my guy

[desert tree]

100% block chance with no effort is too strong of a defensive layer

[native sail]

It really isn't as strong as you think

It's good

It isn't BIS on every single build good

[desert tree]

Just on a base level it's 30% less dmg taken

[native sail]

Jfc

Do you wanna go ask more people for opinions?

[desert tree]

It's not needed for every build sure

[native sail]

It isn't even BIS on a lot of builds that use shields

[desert tree]

But if you try to push corruption or arena, or get more tanky it's really good

If you play hard-core you will want to put it

[icy drift]

I'm with Deias here, bastion is a good shield but it's really not anything crazy insane, it's just a low investment way to get some good defense but depending on the build other shields can give better defense and or offense

You also have to remember that the 100% block chance is only for close mobs, which to be fair is most but there's also plenty of ranged mobs in the game where it basically just sucks

[desert tree]

I am genuinely curious what shield you would consider for a better defense

I am not trying to argue or anything, just curious. I feel bastion is the best overall, but in some case you will get better results with smth else.
Boss fight/range character > craddle is better because you can get 100% block + high block effect if you get hit once in a while
Bleed build > Flayer's is too good to be ignored

Face of the mountain > you need to stack a ton of endurance, but then it cost you suffixes

Maybe it's because I only play sentinel/primalist

[sterile bane]

if i cant outrun rahyeh void thing could i get off the platform to avoid it?

[desert tree]

The void pizza?

[broken walrus]

for quicksand node on anomoly, "all damaging ailment currently applied on enemies apply faster", does that means the tick ticks faster but the total dmg is unchanged?

[sterile bane]

yes

[surreal verge]

Yes

[desert tree]

You can get away the same way you walked in. But just run closer, you need to cover less distance then

[sterile bane]

I might try that next time I encounter him

[spark yacht]

hey, got 2 questions, how do you get enough runes of shattering, currently only shattering +lvl skills and %hp/hybrid hp yet im running out of them so fast, do I really need to visit every town merchant to get enough of them,
also how to farm shade of oryboss quick, it takes me 15-20 monos to reach him and im getting fed up getting rings only

[surreal verge]

Yes buying them from the shop is the most reliable way of shattering runes.

[desert tree]

For runes of shattering, you can buy them, run runes echoes, get the runes drop blessing
For orobyss the further away from the center and the higher corruption you are the better your odd for all his uniques

[faint cape]

Face of the mountain at the cost of high investment. Cradle of the erased is a bit more of a direct competitor (no/low investment) that works better in ranged or dodgy builds.

[knotty tinsel]

As someone who doesn't have a bastion, bastion is bad and you shouldn't use it

[faint cape]

Fair point

[visual plaza]

Regarding aura of decay's absence of life node, if i put 4 points in it and i have healing effectiveness of 1200%, does that mean if my health is hit by mobs until 1 health, i would be able to heal back to full health in the next second?

[surreal verge]

I dont know how you'll get 900% healing eff in lich but yes, in theory.

[visual plaza]

Sorry my typo, should be around 1200%

900% healing effectiveness can only heal up to 80% health, i think

[surreal verge]

Same thing, good luck getting that much healing eff on Lich.

[knotty tinsel]

acolyte has a lot of HealEff on idols so I can see how.

the question is why

[visual plaza]

Haha, yeah, i think it's pretty difficult and impossible

Unless there are very good idols and all available healing effectiveness slots in the gears are all T7, it would be difficult to reach 1200% in healing effectiveness. This is basically a meme theory crafting. Haha 😄

[fast axle]

Hi, guys! Joined discord cz of a question. I don't want to apply for support if everyone else in the community knows what's going on.
I have a problem with a rogue being stuck in one places, like I'm being dragged back after using shift. I'm 62 and it starts being not just annoying but can also cause my death. It isn't a problem with necro/mage blinks or sentinel's shield rush/lunge. Is it a common thing or I need to report a bug?

[faint cape]

I haven't had that problem with shift, what kind of ping do you have with the server? Also ensure that you haven't specced into the node that makes you return to your position

[slim scarab]

Hi, just purchased the game. There is a good necromancer zoo leveling guide online?

Love minions

[sterile bane]

Yes and no

[faint cape]

You might be able to find one on youtube or https://www.lastepochtools.com/ (which is also a super useful info tool & build planner for this game), but the game is also very friendly to starting without any guides, since the campaign is not super difficult you can just kinda play around with the skills as you get them and see what you like

and also, welcome!

[slim scarab]

Thank you! I check this

[sterile bane]

i think im going to take a little break. playing with lag is starting to burn me out

[cinder fossil]

yeah hopefully they can iron out some of the mp jank in 0.9.2

im mostly waiting for the factions to come in, monoliths are getting pretty repetitive

[sterile bane]

well with me it has to do with my location and my job

[slim scarab]

during the movement, I have like a row on the screen that flicker from top to bottom on the screen, distorting the graphic

any suggestion please?

[sinful laurel]

Sounds like vertical desync. Turn on vsync

[slim scarab]

Thanks, Solved :3

with you, ofc

[balmy olive]

hey, is there any site/something with callendar for temporal sanctum rewards rotation ? I mean if I want to farm specific exalted items, is there a way to check on which day particular item type will be active again ?

[dense root]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/dungeons/temporal-sanctum/tier4/modifiershttps://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/dungeons/temporal-sanctum/tier4/modifiers

go to the modifiers tab

[balmy olive]

ah yes, didnt check the Tabs. thanks guys

1 more: dungeon boss drops 2 more uniques - means they drop 2 random uniques, or 2 additional uniques from the boss specific uniques list ?

[dense root]

random

[balmy olive]

ty

[buoyant trench]

Is there an approx. time when the next expansion comes?

[native sail]

Aug/Sep

[buoyant trench]

Cool

[slim scarab]

This game is and hidden gem. So much fun

[tough parcel]

Is it possible to drop the relic for the set of the spear of cold

[vale lake]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAwRlaA

[tough parcel]

Yeah but I killed the boss like 10+ time and I only get the sword

[vale lake]

RNG strike again, did him a few times yesterday and the day before that and he mainly dropped the relic

It's a 50% chc so shouldn't be too long if you keep at it

[tough parcel]

dammm

is there a special requirement of level or idk corruption?

or im literally super unlucky

[vale lake]

Just super unlucky

Happens sometimes

[fading jay]

going above 999 stacks still counts and you are not cut off right

[native sail]

Yup

[fading jay]

by the end of this build about over 2000 stacks so great

[opal nest]

If i put class specific prefix to All Class Unique Body Armour LP slot, does that Body Armour become restricted to aforementioned class?

[native sail]

Yes

[opal nest]

i see ty for the information

[spark siren]

whats the best way to farm exalted rings? I seem to getting really unlucky with my upgrades and i saw julra is a good way to farm exalted items but my build isn't that strong yet + rings drop is like 6 days away

[desert tree]

Pray you find exalted rings echoes reward
Lightless arbor can be nice too if you have some spare gold

[toxic saffron]

Where do you see future dungeons rewards?

[native sail]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/dungeons
Click one of the dungeons and then the modifiers button

[toxic saffron]

This one I have, but it’s just for today or am I missing something ?

[fading jay]

are fissures hits

[desert tree]

Deal damage over time so no

[fading jay]

sad

can wild calling activate this idol

[desert tree]

If you hit then yes, but the ghosts are minions so they can't

[cedar locust]

Hmmm, I'd say it counts as Hit as the first skill mentioned as the trigger for this node is Swipe which is a non-minion melee skill

[fading jay]

ok then so no thorn totems for spirit wolves because they are minion hits and not my hits but swipes first hit counts

[cedar locust]

Yeah, if you're counting on the Wolves to trigger it then no, I don't think it would - I saw you asked Mike, feel free to leave that up just in case he knows more!

[fading jay]

ok thank you i just exploring my options to see how many times i can hit one thing in a second

[desert tree]

And FYI minion can hit, but they are still minions. It's not mutually exclusive

[fading jay]

for on hit

[desert tree]

As a shaman?

[fading jay]

beastmaster

[desert tree]

But you were looking at avalanche earlier

Is that not shaman only?

[knotty tinsel]

it is

[fading jay]

yeah but i thought havlar had no cooldown mistaken

of course

[fading jay]

i am thinking of trying this build on all three primalist subclasses

[desert tree]

What build?

Side note : summoning thorn totems via the idols still share the limit on how much totem you can have

[fading jay]

thorn totem shatter or spawning thorn totem to do my damage because 1 attack every time they spawn

if you can summon thorn totems 3 times in a second then 3 thorn totems attacks in a second or i could shatter them by upheavel

[fresh aspen]

hmm so u have upheaval and wolves
