[knotty tinsel]

but they are niche yes

[jolly pulsar]

oh so it would still change but it would change to the max t5 roll?

[knotty tinsel]

I think I understand what you mean and the answer is yes?

[jolly pulsar]

if so the description on these scrolls are really not very accurate

so like if my T1 roll is max, and i uptier it say 5 times to T6 or whatever, the roll on that stat would then be an max rolled T6?

[knotty tinsel]

you can't craft a t6 or t7 affix.

[jolly pulsar]

ah T5 then

[knotty tinsel]

but if you used a glyph of order for every upgrade you could preserve a max roll all the way to t5 yeah

one use per click

[jolly pulsar]

okay that's pretty cool

[cedar mulch]

Hey, we are trying to play multiplayer, but switching zones we never end up together in the same instance. Is this the current situation or am I missing something.

[outer jay]

why do items show up like this

its annoying

[lyric bramble]

it's a bug with the emphasize option on loot filters

entirely defeats the purpose of the option and it's really annoying 😩

[sinful laurel]

Yup. Sucks

Just turn off the emphasis

[fervent glade]

Is it happening all the time for you? I notice it's most prevalent after I update the loot filter in an instance.

[faint cape]

Yep, just keep in mind the roll is kinda like a 0% - 100% kinda thing, so what looks like a perfect roll at low values might actually just be near-perfect if the roll range increases with tier.

[urban summit]

think this loading screen is ever gonna load?

i guess my nth soulfire bastion key wasted

[acoustic thicket]

what is best liche build atm ? ?

[sinful laurel]

The one you like playing the most

[dusky harness]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/marrow-shards-lich-guide/loot-filter-resources

why cant i get the loot filter from this

[faint cape]

looks like it exists just fine, try the direct link
https://lizardirl.github.io/Filters/MR_Lich_Marrow_Shards_Endgame.xml

[dusky harness]

what do i do with this

[faint cape]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/resources/loot-filter-guide

[dusky harness]

ahh ok got it

thanks

i was used to just copy pastin

[acoustic thicket]

hungering souls vs deathseal what is better lich build?

[sinful laurel]

The one you like to play more

Those skills also aren't mutually exclusive

[finite prairie]

havent been on in awhile. whats the trading system like now?

i know when they first went to multiplayer there were a few problems and tweaks

[sinful laurel]

No official trading system in place yet

[jolly pulsar]

wait so area level here is 51, does that mean i by default have -51% resistances?

there was an tooltip about some resist pen per area level

it's very confusing, it also says going above 75 won't do anything against it

[faint cape]

Yes. It's just a balance thing. All it means is that once you are in level 75+ content, max resists are calculated at 0%

[jolly pulsar]

does this change how good anything like +1 to max res would be then?

[faint cape]

So if you are short 5% from cap, you take 5% more damage

Yep, though there is no way to change max res in this game (or at least, not yet)

Basically it makes it a lot less punishing to not fully cap all your resists

[jolly pulsar]

oh okay, yeah if there was it would basically be useless or just make an 1% difference opposed to an 10% or more depending on the %

i see

[faint cape]

Yeah, exactly

[jolly pulsar]

yeah that's one way of seeing it, mellows out the resists a bit

[native sail]

1% missing res is only 1% increased damage taken as opposed to some other games where it's like 8% more or some shit

[jolly pulsar]

yeah, but then we've got things like armor and endurance that basically functions similarily to how an resist would, so there's kinda no way to get around things closing in towards 100%

but it's still cool, more forgiving on resists

armor capped at 85% tho

[native sail]

Endurance is a completely different ball park imo, armor is kinda resist like but also has weird scaling

[jolly pulsar]

endurance has caps as well

[native sail]

Endurance caps at 60% and every source of DR is multiplicative with each other so 100% is impossible

[jolly pulsar]

yeah you can't become immune to damage

[native sail]

Well, there's a couple things that are immune for X seconds (usually just 1)

[jolly pulsar]

and these caps are on the "lower" end of say something like poe where 95% res cap is possible

[native sail]

I personally think we get far more DR than PoE but are taking drastically higher numbers in comparison

I'd have to do the math to be sure obviously

[jolly pulsar]

i'm not sure, in poe there's a lot of ways to become stupid tanky, but i'm not gonna put the two against eachother cause that's just silly, i like how things are done in this game so far

[native sail]

Fair. The numbers become a mess to track in both games by the end anyway lol

[jolly pulsar]

there's a guy who did an RF build that had iirc 70k+ energy shield, normally players would have like 5-6k life, some more
so just that alone stacking an insane amount of life pool is also just one way to become stupid tanky

[native sail]

Yeah, that doesn't work quite as well in LE, it is still possible to die with insane ward/life here without proper defense layers

Excluding Lost Knowledge because you have basically infinite ward lmfao, bullshit-ass passive point

[jolly pulsar]

👀

i'm an sorc 👀

oh shit

yeah i'm definitely getting that

[native sail]

Get 1400 mana and spec Glacier to recoup mana on crit, laugh

[jolly pulsar]

i'm playing elemental nova and static atm, i'm soon done with the campaign

i never got to the endgame in this game so i'm quite excited

[willow totem]

Hello, if I make an online character I can copy it to offline right? Does the offline character sync automatically if I make progress in my online character?

[jolly pulsar]

found my first purple item earlier, i thought they could have more stats on them but this one just had 4

[native sail]

No to both

[native sail]

Nope, they have an affix higher than you can craft it

In crafting you cap at tier 5 on each affix, exalted have tier 6 and tier 7 possible on drop

[jolly pulsar]

i see

[willow totem]

Ohh I thought you can copy online character to offline. So they are totally separate, got it, thanks

[native sail]

Tier 6 is usually about 50% better than the tier 5 and tier 7 is often double or more of a tier 5

[jolly pulsar]

i've seen some gear that has more than the 4 stats on them on youtube

like an blue mod

[native sail]

I want to play self-cast Nova but in order to do so I need a slammed Ashen Crown with Nova levels

[native sail]

Ah

That's a sealed mod on the bottom

That's a crafting thing

[jolly pulsar]

ohhh

truuuu

i had forgotten about that

[native sail]

It's chance-based and only works on tiers lower than 5 (there is one exception but it cannot be on an exalted item and only comes from a dungeon)

HOWEVER, if you have an exalted item with 3 other stats on it, you can slam a despair on a tier 1 mod on the item and it is guaranteed to seal. Pretty neat.

[jolly pulsar]

i'm enjoying nova a lot, too bad it doesn't do much boss damage, but that's why i've got static atm it 3-4 shots bosses, and oneshots any rare or miniboss basically

[native sail]

(lmao laptop moment)

My planned self-cast Nova uses the chest armor for it that gives it a shit ton of added damage every 6 casts

So, scale cast speed, watch it go off

[jolly pulsar]

interesting

well i am so early into the game i have no idea what i'm doing lmao

[native sail]

I need a slammed Ashen Crown to make it the best I can though

[jolly pulsar]

and i love it

running (or not running, lol) arcane ascendance to pop off if i need to

gets so fast, it's pretty neat

[native sail]

Sorc is real good in general

[jolly pulsar]

and if i can do that with umm lost knowledge to facetank with ward...

oh man

infinite ward generator

[native sail]

Lost Knowledge is just... insane. Should not exist.

[jolly pulsar]

hahha

has it always been this broken or was it buffed recently or smt?

[native sail]

Pretty sure it didn't exist before 0.9?

[jolly pulsar]

probably did yeah

[native sail]

Like, most of the experienced community looked at it on day one of 0.9 and collectively went "what the FUCK?"

[jolly pulsar]

hahhha

sick

ward needs some sort of cap, or a cap on the passive itself

[native sail]

Just awaiting the day they accidentally add in another item on the same level as the original Ashes of Mortality

[native sail]

Most mana scaling things need a cap tbh, mana scaling stuff is absurd

[jolly pulsar]

i like stacker builds though

[native sail]

Like, mana stack Static Orb... good lord.

[jolly pulsar]

yeah it either needs a nerf or more builds need that kind of scaling

or somewhere in the middle really

oh what does +1/2 to skills actually do?

oh it just adds more points

still pretty good though

[native sail]

It's very good for most things

[jolly pulsar]

i've got an great +1 helmet in #👑┃item-showcase
that freeze mod makes me actually want to pick up chance to chill

haven't crafted it yet, gonna be crafting new gear right now

omg i shattered another +1 nova, and now i can uptier my other helmet :O

HOLY FUCKING NOVA

lmao still at +1 xD

it probably needs to be way higher tier for it to go +2

i'll be in general though, i don't wanna flood this channel too much with chatter

[native sail]

T5 is +2, T6 is +3, T7 is +4

[jolly pulsar]

WOW 👀

+4 is cracked

[native sail]

Very, they're quite rare

Some people have slammed +4 Wolf helms into their Herald of The Scurry and it's just like... what the fuck

[jolly pulsar]

hahha

i have no idea what an herald curry is but i love it

don't tell me also

i wanna find the items myself :D

[native sail]

Fair enough. It's a rather rare item, so good luck on your hunt for it

[jolly pulsar]

:D

okay chaos rerolling being able to roll the same stat is bullshit..

it's happened like three times now

in this short session

[safe harness]

as in the mod doesnt change? I've never seen that. Are you sure you're using chaos?

[jolly pulsar]

yeah i was

[native sail]

That shouldn't happen at all

[jolly pulsar]

100% was, and it would reroll my stat the the same one tier higher, + i'd get critical +1 tier on another affix as well

that was so weird

[native sail]

Can you retroactively clip it or something?

[jolly pulsar]

nah got no shadowplay set up

[native sail]

Cuz that's the first time I have ever heard of that, and I have used... thousands probably

[safe harness]

THOUSANDS!

[native sail]

I do a lot of bricking

[jolly pulsar]

well it happend two times in a row basically, it was odd

i also while leveling found 3 legendaries in the same area back to back to back...

[safe harness]

i've gotten a critical success on a despair before

[jolly pulsar]

so i'm no stranger to rare shit

[safe harness]

but never seen this

[native sail]

Wait til you experience endgame... Heh. Yummy orange beams (to inevitably disappoint me)

[jolly pulsar]

it rerolled the damage to channeled into damage channeled with an chaos glyph

[safe harness]

if this was the last craft you've done, the chaos should still be selected

[jolly pulsar]

yeah it is

it did it again

i chaos glyphed the cold res

no change

something isn't right here

[native sail]

There is no glyph in there

[jolly pulsar]

it was my last one

[native sail]

What color is the one you're using

[jolly pulsar]

it's the second one

the red/purple ish one

[safe harness]

:S

[jolly pulsar]

yeah that's so odd, i'll record my next crafting session just in case it happens again

i must be doing smt wrong

but it makes no sense cause i've been crafting just fine like this on my other gear

either stupid unlucky like 4 times in a row basically or smt bugged

[native sail]

Yeah, this is something I have not seen once in 1kish hours or from anyone else, record it just in case there's something you're missing somehow on your end, and if necessary submit a bug report with logs and such

[jolly pulsar]

also when an item is low on forging potential, like 2 remaining potential, it's possible for it to fail an attempted craft or?

or will it always be able to uptier even with 1 potential?

[native sail]

It will always be able to go up a tier even with 1

[jolly pulsar]

ah okay

yeah this was one helluva cursed crafting session lol

[native sail]

A common tactic with endgame crafting (or slam prepping) is to get an item as close to perfect as you can without eating all the FP and using the remaining low FP to dupe it with a Rune of Creation so you now have two copies

[jolly pulsar]

mirroring items 👀

well i first need to finish up this last act

[native sail]

Yup. Only works on craftable items though (so no unique/set/legendary)

[jolly pulsar]

and then i will start mirroring all my level 50 rares

as one should

[native sail]

And don't worry, you won't be spending 10 years looking for one, there's a semi-reliable way to get a few if you're not shy about spending a couple million gold :P

[jolly pulsar]

yeah i've heard they're more common in this game, which i do appreciate

god my new wep has 11% attack speed on it and it feels great now :D

[native sail]

Crafting is a key component to the game, they want pretty much all routes (excluding high end/rare LP base legendary crafting) to be fairly easily accessible

[jolly pulsar]

yeah i'm really really enjoying that part of the game

for the longest time i couldn't enjoy this game at all because of serious lag

but turned out my ram was not configured right for 11 years....

[native sail]

LMFAO FELT

[jolly pulsar]

so once i corrected that i'm able to enjoy the game with basically no lag lmao

hahhha

[jolly pulsar]

is mental aegis before or after ward?

i guess it's not really worth it, but the mana regen behind it might be

i think i'm going through it for warmth, though i did just misclick my point into through flames xD

[native sail]

I honestly do not know, the only damage to ward build I know actually fully functions can't use ward

[surreal verge]

Probably before, so you'll take both ward and mana damage

Then if you have no ward then health and mana damage

Since we DO have that WW to test it with now.

[jolly pulsar]

yeah it makes sense for the warmth node behind it as well, that it's the to compensate for any damage taken

[jolly pulsar]

god i thought this was the last chapter before endgame o .. o

i think there's more

just beat lagon

wait this is chapter 9 now

i thought i was on like chapter 10

[native sail]

There are 9 chapters in total right now, the plan is for 12 total

[jolly pulsar]

12 seems a bit much o .. o

but i shouldn't be rushing

[native sail]

Eh, it's not so bad when you have access to the skips (or just... choose not to complete the campaign, because you aren't forced to)

[jolly pulsar]

how is running through the game on alts though?

oh there's some skip unlocks

then it's totally fine

[native sail]

Yeah, you can use the dungeons to skip portions of the story. Requires some skill and build knowledge but totally doable

I don't bother, I just rush through story as quick as I can until I don't need it anymore (just before chapter 8)

[jolly pulsar]

i guess movement speed and leveling gear helps a ton as well

[native sail]

For sure

[jolly pulsar]

and just knowing where to go also

[haughty ravine]

is there any reason i should complete the first echo timeline more than once?

[jolly pulsar]

okay i think i saw what's happening with the rerolling, i must have clicked it twice or so without re-selecting a glyph

maybe i noticed it now cause i started rerolling multiple tiers at a time

umm

no

it kept happening

it keeps fucking rerolling to the same stat

it does it again!!!

what the fuck

like every single time

i click the upgrade arrow, then i select glyph of chaos
and then i click upgrade and reroll, and then the stats just doesn't change...

it's happend so many god damn times now and it's ruining my crafting

it keeps doing it

i do have to click the little arrow right? or do i need to somehow click the circle?

this just feels like an bug, there's no way i'm rerolling the same stat over and over again like this for no reason

[surreal verge]

Blessings?

I'm going to assume you DIDN'T accidentally picked the blue scroll.

What does the crafting result at the bottom say

[surreal verge]

What does the bottom red/green text crafting result say.

[jolly pulsar]

i'm gonna record my next crafting attempts, but pretty sure it said the same thing as this

yeah it said + to the same stat and minus potential

[surreal verge]

It should say it if the chaos went through

[jolly pulsar]

and i did use a glyph of chaos

[surreal verge]

And I honestly have never heard of a chaos failing except turning health% to flat health

[haughty ravine]

I already got a blessing for completing it the first time. can I get more for doing it again?

[surreal verge]

(Which is pretty funny in it's own right)

[jolly pulsar]

i'll record the next crafting session, it's just so strange to me

[surreal verge]

No, but you could choose another one that might be more useful to you, or a higher roll, or keep the one you have

[jolly pulsar]

like 7 glyphs of chaos down the drain now

[haughty ravine]

oooooooooo

[jolly pulsar]

to this shit

[haughty ravine]

this game's cool. thanks

[surreal verge]

Yeah, we might be able to help you figure out what happened

[jolly pulsar]

holy shit i just blasted my amulet to the moon!

ubeliveably lucky, i wish i had recorded that or smt

we still going also

oh need level ups

i got my two suffixes to t5 in 1 potential and like 4 scroll of hopes or some shit like that

[jolly pulsar]

okay now i used to glyphs of chaos and they worked just fine as intended

i did record it but since everything went fine no need to upload it

[jolly pulsar]

how long is chapter 9 btw?

i'm in upper temple atm, there's two more unexplored things on the map, but that's fooled me before

[brazen canopy]

does pebble's set not affect spell minions even though it says it does? got 300% dmg and my mages' attacks are still in double digits

[sharp quartz]

only skeletons get the spell boost, the rest of the stuff is also melee so its not gonna affect spell minions. and there is only max 84% minion damage from the two items

[surreal verge]

It affects specifically Summon Skeletons, not Summon Skeleton Mages

[faint cape]

Since you are low on chaos glyphs, I think it's pretty likely you have actually been running on 0. The forge UI is kinda buggy sometimes where the numbers don't always go down as you use your glyphs/runes, so it appears like you still have some, but don't.

[jolly pulsar]

that could be it, i'm definitely going to record whenver i use them just in case

[faint cape]

I think the best way to update your numbers to the actual amount is probably relogging? I mostly only see people notice that bug with shatter runes

[jolly pulsar]

i think just reopening the UI would be enough, but yeah i'll keep this in mind

[faint cape]

In my experience, it's not

but rezoning is a maybe

[harsh rampart]

How do I join the merchant guilds?

[desert tree]

1st step
Wait for it to be released in the game

[knotty tinsel]

first you'll need to wait for them to be in the game

yep beat me to it XD

[desert tree]

2nd step
Not sure ^^

[faint cape]

iirc it's part of the campaign, somewhere kinda late like A9

once it's released, of course

[drowsy charm]

hello, does the node "Dark Scythe" increase the atk speed of Flame Wraith

[desert tree]

Yes

But technically is multiplicative with other sources of attack speed

[drowsy charm]

Great, thank you!

[native sail]

Uh... is that right? Flame Wraiths cast a spell, don't they?

Yeah they don't have any attacks, much less a melee, that node does nothing for them

[lost delta]

It works when they run out of mana and start to melee...

[native sail]

They don't have mana

Minions don't have mana, their skills are either cooldown based or just... default. And Flame Wraiths have one singular skill and they spam it to hell and back.

[surreal verge]

Minions don't have mana?

Wh-what made you think they had mana

[lost delta]

I was being a heckler, I know they don't use mana 🙂

[surreal verge]

[surreal verge]

No, Flame Wraiths use spells, not melee

[tropic tapir]

hi whats a build thats good at bossing?

[lost delta]

Too many to list here, search Last Epoch Tools for a good list of builds.

[tropic tapir]

ty

[fading jay]

For summon spriggan and it's companion ability rejuvenating winds can you activate this if you are in spriggan form yourself and not before I mean while in spriggan form please and thank you

[lost delta]

Not that I am aware of, only while in 'human' form.

[knotty tinsel]

https://tenor.com/view/misinformation-spreading-spreading-misinformation-online-gif-4543841945782036495

[drowsy charm]

anyone try the poison wraith, how is it comparing to flame one

[lost delta]

About 65% as good.

[slim scarab]

I want to try a Beastmaster. Love the Minions; currently I play necro golemancer (wrath, death knight, golem) and I love It.

My question: could someone suggest me an effective guide to level a BM with many pets, possibly something valid also for the endgame? I'm not looking for min-max, but more for something lazy and chill.

[surreal verge]

You have like a cap of 3 companions I think.

[native sail]

Not worth it, way worse damage

[slim scarab]

Damn, lol.

[drowsy charm]

Thks, thinking the same

[slim scarab]

Beastmaster leveling guide from maxroll Is good?

[surreal verge]

I think so? I don't pay attention to maxroll guides

[slim scarab]

So, do you have a good source to recommend me?

I'm relatively newbie 😛

[surreal verge]

LEtools has build guides as well

But i think both should work for the fresh and new players

[slim scarab]

Ok, I try on LEtools

Ty mate 🙂

[fading jay]

Thank you

[thin tinsel]

can somone explain to me the reroll chance thing from lost epoch tools? like what exactly does a 80% reroll chance mean

[faint cape]

3 companion cap is base for BM, it goes up to 4 with a passive, you can get another +1 on wolf spec and +1 from a unique helm

[native sail]

If it lands on that item it has an 80% chance to roll into a different unique

Basically a secondary check upon drop

[faint cape]

with squirrel helm you can summon double (but can't get the +1 helm), so you can have up to 10 squirrels or 6 others

[native sail]

To see if it actually uh... drops

[thin tinsel]

damn, thats kinda depressing, knowing we all have in theory gotten hundres of ravenous voids but then the game rolls a rigged dice and says NOPE

but thx for the explanation, a lot less complicated then i tought 😄

[faint cape]

Just to expand upon this, there are ways to trigger companion abilities in other forms (swipe spec for werebear or swarm strike with spec), just none in spriggan form that I know of

[native sail]

better than knowing that it's a 0.0000000001% drop chance or whatever the hell, y'know?

[faint cape]

yeah, it's a really odd weighting system

[thin tinsel]

hey, we are not talking about diablo lvl insaneley stupid rare uniques that are completley useless ok, getting a rav is definitley possible (d4 bad btw)

[native sail]

I mean

I can apply that to more than just Diablo

[fading jay]

Father toast I also figured out there aura is automatic and not part of companion ability

[cedar locust]

I see you were already pointed to LETools, which is super useful, so here's a list of my 'Useful Links for new and returning players!' - #💬┃general message

Also,

[slim scarab]

Thank @cedar locust

Problem is that i don't know classes mechanics

[faint cape]

Correct, they have the passive aura which just provides healing ticks (and any buffs you've specced into) and their active ability aura which provides healing and mana recovery. fyi, the passive aura has a very large range (~2 screens) and remains active while the spriggan is downed, but not dead.

[slim scarab]

Now I'm reading LEtools beginner guide. Can't find a leveling tag for BM

[cedar locust]

Ctrl+F is your friend in that post - though hit it twice to use the browser version

[faint cape]

If you're up for it, the game is really friendly to blind playthroughs. Respeccing is cheap/easy and mechanics get slowly introduced as you level, generally speaking

or you can look for a higher level guide and just build toward that from lower levels, as long as it doesn't require uniques to function

[cedar locust]

^^ That's a good point - I have yet to read a single guide or anything and I'm in the late game without having any big issues

[desert tree]

Hey! He/she said attack speed

So I am right, the node increase their as, not my fault if they dont use it

But sorry for that, I don't play enough necro to know that flame wraith are range

[knotty tinsel]

how dare you.

[desert tree]

I am not edgy enough to play with the dead

[compact ferry]

why is one of my squirrels named cassie is there some meaning to this?

[knotty tinsel]

easter egg if I had to guess

most of the pet names pull from a pool of references 🙂

[raw fern]

There a book https://www.amazon.com/Pearl-Squirrel-Thanks-Cassie-Ehrenberg/dp/1338592092 . Maybe this is the refference ?

[compact ferry]

the other 9 are all primal squirrel i just found it funny and thought id share

[candid elm]

There's posts about the Wolves sometimes being named Fenton, Cassie, etc. So it's probably just using the wolf names.
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/named-wolves-aggro/35928
Storm Crow named Munin, etc (Hugin and Munin are Ravens from Norse mythology)
https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/sgn38s/easter_egg_primal_companions_can_have_random_names/

[candid elm]

Yeah probably just an Easter egg. There's a fairly well known video of a dog named Fenton running in a park while the owner is yelling FENTON. So name may be related to that https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3GRSbr0EYYU
Not sure about Cassie. Could just be developer's dogs names too. Or a play on Lassie.

[sterile bane]

i think it happens if they dont die for a while

[knotty tinsel]

far as I know it's just a small chance when they spawn, not if theyve lived for a while.

[shrewd dune]

Was thinking about trying out the druid class after I finish up on my sorcerer. How's the druid class?

[faint cape]

Probably one of the strongest classes, in terms having many viable builds that can fill many roles

[deep ether]

heyguys, it says in the wiki that i can create an offline copy of my online character, but i cant find anything in game, how would i do that/

[icy drift]

don't think this is true, the devs have mentioned before that the ways online and offline characters are "stored" is completely different and we don't have a way of retrieving online character info as far as i know. I might have outdated info though but this is afaik

[deep ether]

aha, too bad

[balmy current]

Nope, definitely not true.

[native sail]

This is the exact origin of Fenton btw, confirmed by devs

[candid elm]

Love that clip

[pastel pebble]

FEENTON

[lethal patrol]

Hey guys. I played on the multiplayer patch. Had lots of fun! One thing that kind of ruined it though was that my character glitched and would recast my charge and stand in place. Has that been fixed yet? Because it happened often.

[icy drift]

A lot of traversal skills were pretty buggy at 0.9 launch, a lot of them have been pretty much fixed in my experience, haven't tried them all out though so i can't say for every single one

[fresh aspen]

Shield rush has not been fixed, if thats what he meant by charge

[lethal patrol]

Yeah i think i restarted on a dif character and had the same experience.

[fresh aspen]

Narrow hallways and emperor of corpses map is glitchy for Shieldrush

[lethal patrol]

No the werebear charge. Sorry unfamiliar with the name

[fresh aspen]

Werebear charge works the same as shieldrush

they are buggy from my experience

[lethal patrol]

I C

[icy drift]

yeah i haven't played much sentinel or primalist recently so i can't give much input here

[fresh aspen]

it has to due with giant hitbox in charge channelling and hallways being small

so it always gets cancelled

or other weird reasons

[lethal patrol]

Unfortunate. Might wait till 1.0 unless it's still an issue. Thanks both of you. ✌️ @fresh aspen @icy drift

[desert tree]

Maybe give it a try after 0.9.2, it should bring a lot of bug fixes, polishing etc to the game

[covert grove]

Aby ideas why my graphics won't go to 4k on last epoch but they do for hogwarts and everything else? Last rpoch won't show above 1920x1080 for some reason but closing out and loading hogwarts goes straight into 4k.

[jolly pulsar]

what do i do about duplicate legendaries? not worth hoarding multiples of the more common ones right?

unless it has legendary potential i guess

[pastel pebble]

I usually toss some out that I won'f need

[jolly pulsar]

aight so i'm kinda running into some mana regen problems
i'm playing elemental nova and i somehow, not sure how, want to work towards an 40 mana cost nova, but for now the problem is just mana as is, is there something i can do other than investing into mana regen on gear?
i'm thinking if i just get an lucky exalted drop with mana regen things will be smoother
i just want a lot of mana regen, atm speccing into warmth is helping as well on flame ward

i'll have a loot in affixes, maybe there's an flat mana mod or something

yeah doesn't seem to be any flat mana regen stat or anything like this, so i guess i will just have to invest into it, hopefully get an exalted stat for it, i did find an legendary that gave me 1% regen per 3% lighting res

[sinful laurel]

Last epoch is not the type of arpg where if you invest enough into mana Regen you can just spam your skills. It is purposefully NOT built this way on purpose. You can mitigate the mana loss with some Regen but. Especially on mage, you will need to figure out ways to regain your mana actively

[jolly pulsar]

yeah i'm gonna have to invest into it from a few sources, i'm thinking maybe urzils pride with a lot of lighting res

[sinful laurel]

Sorry let me be clearer, no amount of JUST mana regen will be enough to spam ele nova

[jolly pulsar]

right now i don't need a lot though

[sinful laurel]

Especially not at 40 cost

[jolly pulsar]

yeah at 40 cost that would be extremely iffy true

[sinful laurel]

Most mages regain mana in other ways on top of their Regen

[jolly pulsar]

i don't even know if it's possible to get 40 cost, and it's probably more viable to get an large pool and do something with manastrike or something

[sinful laurel]

I don't think ele nova can be a LK skill but I could be wrong

[jolly pulsar]

LK?

[sinful laurel]

Lost knowledge. Why else would you want to get it to 40 cost lol

[jolly pulsar]

yeah true

[sinful laurel]

Look into glacier, focus, mana strike, etc. All good ways to regain mana

[jolly pulsar]

cool, i'll look into it

i might drop static to simplify the build. especially if i can start to scale my nova damage more

though static does a lot of burst atm

[sinful laurel]

Static can also be a huge drain on your mana, especially if you discharge it actively

[jolly pulsar]

yeah true

sometimes i activate it at like 1 mana

and i gotta run around like an chicken for 10 seconds to wait

it's cool though, i kind of like that there is no easy fix for mana

it's refreshing, this game just has refreshing takes on balance

[sinful laurel]

Yup. I do too. Makes each build have to contend with that aspect

Or rage as it were for primalist

[sharp quartz]

It shouldnt be an issue if your setup can handle it - there are plenty of people playing at 4k that I know of. I would recommend making sure that your Graphics settings in game are appropriately set (i.e. 4k, medium settings recommended to start) and double check that you dont have any driver defaults overriding things or old gpu drivers causing issues. Some setups also have odd things happen with Windowed/FullScreen/Borderless settings so you might want to check that (especially true for multi-monitor type setups).

Failing all of that, a good way to reset LE settings (in the event of a corruption) is to remove the le_graphicsmanager.ini (or rename it) while the game isnt running. The game will then recreate a new one that should work fine and allow you to change things again.

[solid lagoon]

I am experiencing the same issue. The highest resolution option was 1080p. After disconnecting my second monitor, all resolution options were available.

Any idea what causes this?

[jolly pulsar]

is there any way to see the crit chance of my spells? and not just from my gear?

like my elemental nova has built in crit chance from the tree so i don't really know what it is

[faint cape]

Aside from calculating it yourself, no, not yet

[jolly pulsar]

okay i guess i'll bring out the good old spreadsheet then, lol

[cedar locust]

Wait, this isn't PoE right?

[jolly pulsar]

👀

https://tenor.com/view/math-confuse-numbers-gif-10041147

i guess the math is really easy enough, i just take 5% *.8 and add it to my existing crit on my character sheet

so 4 extra

22% crit chance

[proven stag]

Hey, i have a ryzen 5 5600x,16gbs of ram and gtx 1660 6gb. What will be my performance for Last epoch 1080p?

[jolly pulsar]

you're gonna do good

just make sure your ram is set up correctly

i run on specs lower than these and fixing my ram settings in bios made an huge difference

[proven stag]

i see

Can i expect medium settings no drop below 75?

[jolly pulsar]

yeah probably

how much caching does your ram usually do?

mine caps out at about half of it for cache

so it might max out but i really wouldn't worry about it

you're gonna be fine

only place i've had drops is in the arena, but anywhere else it's been smooth

[proven stag]

nice

ty

[blazing gorge]

Hello guys, can anybody tell me when is Mike's LE stream on Twitch ?

[cedar locust]

This should be in your local time --> <t:1691179200:T>

😊

[blazing gorge]

Thanks à lot !

[thin tinsel]

oh yeah today is stream day yaaay

[sharp quartz]

Not entirely sure to be honest. Usually things like this have appeared in the past and tended to be related to multiple monitor setups or things like laptops using an external monitor. I have seen that some people have been able to resolve things by editing settings at a Windows level and changing the modes (fullscreen, windowed and dragging the window to the monitor wanted etc). I cannot recall exactly but I think I remember someone also able to resolve it by temporarily swapping the primary displays around in windows. Unfortunately no one solution seems to work for everyone.

My gut feeling on the issue is that its similar to LEs audio settings - it defaults to something in Windows and the moment you have multiple audio outputs or multiple monitors, LE just picks one default rather than giving proper options.

There is also an old line item in the le_graphicsmanager.ini file that has SelectedMonitor = 0 by default and when I did some testing it doesnt seem to allow you to change to alternative monitors by manually editing the setting.

Pretty sure the devs know about this issue, but no idea when it may be resolved.

[solid lagoon]

Thanks for your reply! Weird issue.

[willow totem]

Hello guys, just wanna ask about echo rewards. I won't get it if I die once right? Is there a way to reroll the echo or monolith to get new echo rewards? I have only done a few echoes on first mono

[surreal verge]

There’s an echo that resets them,otherwise

Nope

(Also dying doesnt mean you’re locked out of the echo path,you can still clear it to access the stuff behind it even if you died)

[jolly pulsar]

so my weapon gives spell lighting damage on the base item (coral wand) and i just wanna confirm this only adds to the lightning version of my elemental nova or does it all to all three versions?

[faint cape]

It adds lightning damage to all your spells

[surreal verge]

Any flat increase is applied to it's relevant skill type (Melee, spell, throwing).

[jolly pulsar]

once you get to the edges you can reset the whole monolith for new echos, so don't worry about clearing echos fully or anything, just the objective
as mentioned, on death all that changes is the rewards are gone, you can still progress through by trying again

[thick urchin]

hi guys , someone knows why i have that ? i can't find ......

it's LE tools , for build

when i open it in private navigation , its ok , i dont understand .....

[dense root]

looks to me like it’s just not loading fully

[jolly pulsar]

question, how does base stat scaling work?
i see it's 4% each point for my skill, but is this scaling for the base damage before increases from gear?
just wondering if i should value mainstat more or not

the ingame guide doesn't say at all what mainstat scaling is

[surreal verge]

It's generic 4% more increased damage as the first multiplier afaik

[desert tree]

It's 4% increased dmg not more dmg

So it's sumed with other sources of Inc dmg

[surreal verge]

Oh oops

[jolly pulsar]

so an 8 int stat will only give me 32% increased damage? that's added to other increases?

[desert tree]

Yep

[jolly pulsar]

that's really bad lol

[desert tree]

What class are you?

[jolly pulsar]

sorc

[surreal verge]

You should be INT stacking as sorc anyway i think so it's free damage.

[desert tree]

Int also gives you ward retention

[jolly pulsar]

i don't use much ward at all

[desert tree]

And as a sorc it gives you Inc crit chance

[surreal verge]

Th-then what are your defensive layers?

[desert tree]

If you have the passive

[jolly pulsar]

block, and endurance and regen

[surreal verge]

[jolly pulsar]

i've got the passive, but again 3% crit chance per point is pretty bad

compared to T5 stats in those slots

[surreal verge]

Idk, using one affix slot to cover some damage, some crit chance, and some defense (Ward retention) seems pretty decent....

[jolly pulsar]

only on boots cause there's nothing else for prefix that's worth

well actually going for vitallity might be better for the health

[surreal verge]

8 Int is 32% unconditional inc damage, 36% ward retention, and 24% increased crit chance

[jolly pulsar]

yeah it might be half decent actually

[surreal verge]

(Also why block, mages don't have block support. Why not use a catalyst?)

[jolly pulsar]

i like the added DR

helps on sustain

[thick urchin]

@dense root its ok for me , problem is Ad block and repair firefox ..... ty

[jolly pulsar]

especially when i've got 140 health regen per sec so it's an good buffer on my health

[surreal verge]

You're giving up a good chunk of offensive stats for... not a lot of defensive stats

[desert tree]

I think you are underestimating stat stacking, but it is not necessarly the best affix. That the beauty of LE

[surreal verge]

Wait.

YOu're stacking health regen?

[jolly pulsar]

yeah some of it

got it on boots and helmet

[surreal verge]

Also er, this passive node exists on sorc.

[jolly pulsar]

and some other sources

my elemental nova doesn't cost 40 mana

[surreal verge]

Oh then nevermind.

(Because otherwise this is sorc's most busted passive)

[jolly pulsar]

yeah i know

i am looking for ways to make use of that node, but it might not be possible with elemental nova

[surreal verge]

Then er, best of luck I guess-
But ye stat stacking isn't terrible, it's definitely good in certain builds.

[jolly pulsar]

yeah not half bad, i will probably take it in some slots where it's an good all around, i had hoped the increase was before other increases as a separate multi, i swear i did some testing once and it was better than just an 4% increase added, lol

[surreal verge]

It's good in that the 4% applies to every part of the skill.

[desert tree]

Some of the best Def layers for mage are wards shenanigans and/or dmg to mana

[surreal verge]

The hit, the ailments, the subskills maybe etc.

It is quite literally generic +4% damage for the whole skill.

No strings attatched

[jolly pulsar]

most skills are single element though

[desert tree]

If you are scaling life regen, maybe look at getting a vessel of strife

Maybe you can use a twisted heart of ulkhieros

[surreal verge]

When you put it comparing it in affix wise, yeah.

But as a vacuum it's not bad.

[desert tree]

Or a fractured crow

[surreal verge]

This is very notable since you're scaling health.

[jolly pulsar]

it's alright on a few spots yeah, unless the int is actually scaling the base damage before other increases. i swear i will have to do some testing xD

i'll look into those

atm i'm looking for the elemental nova chest piece

[faint cape]

The mage node that gives you ward when your health drops is also pretty strong, and would probably work well with what you already have (endurance, regen, etc.)

[surreal verge]

Oh, of note is that stat damage increases also probably increase the + flat damage of other damage types if you somehow have them

Eg:You got a + 20 spell lightning damage affix, the 4% pre stat also applies to it

[jolly pulsar]

and that's spesifically for int?

that that makes it way better then

cause it scales your base damage

[surreal verge]

That's for all 4% per stat damage scales because of the skill tag(s)

OF it's respective stat

[jolly pulsar]

yeah

[faint cape]

you could also get the Vilatria set, which actually does give flat damage per int

[surreal verge]

The set in context

[jolly pulsar]

that's pretty sick as well

[faint cape]

attributes never scale base damage, or at least not in any current skills

[surreal verge]

I thought they scale the whole skill with the usual 4% per stat

[faint cape]

yeah, it's generic 4% inc

[desert tree]

Void Knight

[faint cape]

that's added damage, no?

[jolly pulsar]

okay guys

hold up

so i did some testing

[desert tree]

Oh mb

I read quickly and mistake base and added dmg in my mind

[jolly pulsar]

8 int makes just as much difference as my 69% spell damage ammy

i'll spec out of the crit node and see

[surreal verge]

I hope you actually tested that on a dummy and not with tooltip dps

[jolly pulsar]

oh

should i not go by tooltip?

[surreal verge]

NEVER TRUST TOOLTIP DPS

[jolly pulsar]

:S

[surreal verge]

It takes into account a lot of stuff out of your control

[jolly pulsar]

okay where is dummy?

[surreal verge]

Like having infinite mana, no cooldowns, crit chance converted to % extra damage, counts for all possible ailment damage....

Champions Gate, Or the Arena key if you have one.

[jolly pulsar]

aight

gonna test now

i also specced out of the crit from int bonus just to not have that there

[faint cape]

yeah, and the ailment damage mentioned above is probably the main source of the tooltip wonk in this case, since int will scale the ailment damage, but spell damage won't

[surreal verge]

We love tooltips being lying bastards!

[faint cape]

yep - I don't think tooltips will ever be super accurate

not even really sure what the point of them is, I'd vote we just remove the damage portion so people don't get confused by it

[jolly pulsar]

the range on these hits are too wide

but i'll do my best to see difference

maybe i can go off of the highest crit i see

with my ammy, i had an 14k crit

[faint cape]

if you test with a DOT spell like disintegrate, it's easier to compare non-crit stuff

[jolly pulsar]

oh that's very consistent

296 with the +8 int

329 with my 69% spell power ammy

277 with neither

[surreal verge]

8 int is 32%, yeah that's consistent

[faint cape]

it's always good when reality matches up to the theory

[sharp quartz]

may have to clear your browser cache.

[jolly pulsar]

wait so why is spell damage more scaling than the actual in?

i tested again, 9 int, made an 21 damage difference (34% inc * 2 = 42 damage)
with my 69% inc spell damage amulet it upped my damage by 52 / 2 = 26
that's an 4 more damage increase for something that's supposed to be 2% less spell damage

i'm just gonna get the int on passives and boots i guess

i wish it had more value

[faint cape]

hm? the int at 34% is and should be less than the spell damage at 69%

[jolly pulsar]

i mean it does with retention and crit, but i'm good on those

i mean i devided it in half to account for that

so the ammy difference i cut in half accounting for 32% spell damage

it still did 5 points more damage

[faint cape]

why did you divide it in half?

[jolly pulsar]

i mean i could try an get 8 more int somewhere to test with

[faint cape]

oh, I think I see what you're doing

[jolly pulsar]

yeah

[faint cape]

remember that these are additive increases, not total 'more' damage

so you equip a 69% inc amulet, it'll only give your spells 69% more total damage if you had absolutely no increased damage from any other source

[jolly pulsar]

yeah it just gets added to all my other increases, same with int

it seems

[faint cape]

correct

[sterile bane]

is there a point to keep resistances at way over 75%?

[jolly pulsar]

this does answer my initial question though, you guys are correct, and with the crit and retention int is an decent stat, especially if i wanna do something with ward / mana spent stat on relic

[jolly pulsar]

i think for enemies that does resist pen it is?

but less so in this game because resists are neutralized at 0% (when you have 75% in an level 75 area)

[faint cape]

yeah, generally that's how attributes work in this game, they are balanced in giving some defense and some offense - less of either compared to competing stuff, but the combo can easily be stronger when you start adding in other scaling stuff

[jolly pulsar]

yeah for the set mentioned earlier it would be easily worth investing into

[faint cape]

nope, really even if you are sitting at 60%ish resists you'll mostly be fine

[jolly pulsar]

well 15% less resists + something like resist shredding/pen on you and you're gonna feel it

but yeah resists in this game are more mellow than in your traditional 75% due to the neutralisation

[faint cape]

the rogue I've been running with has 30% for many of its resists (which really I'd like to improve, but it hasn't been a big issue yet at ~150c)

[jolly pulsar]

xD

madman

hides behind his 21%/30% shield

[faint cape]

and pen does apply after cap, so overcapping only protects against shred from stuff like shred ailments, poison, shock, and marked for death

[jolly pulsar]

yeah, you can't go over the 75% basically

[surreal verge]

If you want to be immune to res shred and marked for death, you'll need to technically go 115% res

Otherwise, no, anything over that does not a single damn thing.

(Unless a unique/set calls for it)

[jolly pulsar]

int on gloves aren't too bad either
i'm at the point where my crits are pretty consistent, like 45% or something and can even go higher if i spend one more point on the flat crit
so on gloves i value the int then, mana if i were mana stacking, the cast speed is nice but i do need more mana regen to compensate, or maybe mana pool
the other stat i'd value is AOE on gloves, but i'll probably end up with cast speed and int on em

[grim yacht]

Hi ! Is there a way to see the DPS of your minions in the same way that you can see the DPS of your skils?

[jolly pulsar]

maybe lagon boss? if he's repetable, or any other boss? just time the kill to see what's better and if you wanna know the number might be able to do some math that way
but i don't know about any minion tooltip, haven't played an minion build

[surreal verge]

Nope. (ALso don't trust tooltip DPS)

[grim yacht]

Hmmm...

[faint cape]

for poison, you'd need a lot of res to really be immune to resist reduction

[grim yacht]

That's sad, it is hard to see if your build if better or worse for your minions excepting if you go test them on dummies

[surreal verge]

That's also true for normal skills.

[faint cape]

That's really how it is for all builds, plus there's always the option of going full spreadsheet warrior and calculating your dps

[surreal verge]

As why they aren't to be trusted....

[grim yacht]

But for your skills, you have the DPS shown on them, so that's pretty straightfoward for knowing if you do better or worse

[surreal verge]

It's not.

[surreal verge]

It does lie enough that what you think is a bigger number, isn't always a bigger number.

It takes into account stuff out of your control, like having infinite mana, no cooldowns, crit chance converted to % extra damage, counts for all possible ailment damage....

[grim yacht]

Yup, but that gives you a hint... that's already something to begin

[surreal verge]

Ehhhhh

It's very unhelpful

We've seen funny cases where an item that CLEARLY doesn't help the skill somehow buffs it's tooltip dps

[grim yacht]

If you say so, in my case it's helping a lot. And I use item that will clearly boost my DPS, so I don't things I'll fit in those cases

[balmy current]

It's supposed to be used as a guide when you're looking at gear swaps, not a hyper accurate DPS measurement.

[surreal verge]

Inb4 you start to question "WHy is this item that clearly has lower numbers but have a chance of X have more tooltip dps than my actual items"'

[grim yacht]

I don't want to do big math at this point.. just wanna know if +2 Dex will be worse or better than a +50% increased damage

[balmy current]

Plus it can't take into account conditional effects.

[balmy current]

Depends how much you have of both, but probably the 50% inc, given 2 dex would give you 8% increased damage for relevant skills

That one's kinda obvious.

[surreal verge]

That was an example he gave for his side, but ye I think he gets it

[grim yacht]

Depends on how the damage is calculated, for some games stats > increased damafe.

[balmy current]

But not for LE

The in-game game guide says this

[grim yacht]

Yeah yeah, but like Kzb said, it was just an example

[surreal verge]

For LE, it's literally :4% increased damage for the skill per stat

[grim yacht]

But when you first enter the game, and you want to know quickly, the DPS calculator on skill is really helpful to guide you on which gear will be better 🙂

[balmy current]

Yeah, that's all it's intended for

[surreal verge]

(Of note that the 4% applies to everything the skill does, even ailments that doesn't match the damage type)

[sterile bane]

i know its even farther away than anyting else but do we have any rumors or speculation on what the next mastery could be?

[desert tree]

You mean after falconer and rune master?

[sterile bane]

yes

and warlock

[desert tree]

I can't remember anything

Maybe Mike said somth about doing a new base class

[sterile bane]

really??

[desert tree]

But that's so far away, they have time to change their mind 20 times

[sterile bane]

didnt they once say that there wouldnt be more classes just more masteries?

[surreal verge]

Yeah I heard even then, they might make more masteries first

[balmy current]

Nope

[sterile bane]

exactly, i would assume the way it was talked about before they would try to link every mastery to a current class and if a mastery cant be linked to a class then go from there

[jolly pulsar]

okay so i'm at the blood frost and death timeline for the unique/set body armor nodes
but the timeline is level 70 and the chest i'm looking for has a level 77 requirement
it can't drop here right?

[faint cape]

I know they've talked about new weapon types like fist weapons, and other archetypes like bard, but I think 'what comes next' is dependent on a lot of things that we don't know about

[native sail]

Correct, either get lucky in the last few unempowered or (the usual recommendation) go back there in empowered to farm it out.

[jolly pulsar]

empowerment isn't the same as corruption right? so i guess i will discover what that are if i just keep progressing naturally?

[faint cape]

empowerment lets you run the 'legendary' version of all the timelines, which mainly means that it's level 100 and starts at 100 corruption

it's the only way to reasonably farm those nodes like 'unique/set body armor'

[jolly pulsar]

guys big problem

fuck

my loot filter is bugged

and i dropped all my gear on thr ground

and pressing x does nothing

[native sail]

(Also the only way to actually increase corruption past 50)

[native sail]

Hit Alt+Z

[jolly pulsar]

omg thanks!!!

[native sail]

Yeah no prob (now go unbind that lol)

[jolly pulsar]

absolutely! lmaooo

[grim yacht]

Hey! I realize that it is not every arrow from the skill "Detonating arrow" that is exploding. Is that normal? When I read the skill, it seems that every arrow should explode..

[faint cape]

Did you pick the spec node that makes it cost way less mana?

[grim yacht]

Ah shit yes...

I just realized.. wow thank you

[narrow wing]

why I cant upgrade these?

[carmine palm]

you have not picked up the corresponding shards or have not shattered gear with those affixes before for a chance to get them

[narrow wing]

thanks

[grim yacht]

Hey quick question, where's the best place for farming gold? I've tried the Monolith, but it seems that some maps drop considerably more golds than others, so I'm wondering if you can share me your tips on that 🙂

[thin tinsel]

afaik there is no good/specific way to farm gold right now, the only thing that you can do is pushing corruption(which increases gold drops) do gold echos and get the increased gold blessing

im currently working on a spreadsheet on gold income as a little side project btw, so maybe i have some more infos in the future

[sterile sandal]

somehow I think this might be a bug ... (it took probably a solid minute for my ward to drop under 65K, repeatedly dropping from being over the display cap)

[desert tree]

There is a gold blessing

[desert tree]

143 stacks of maelstrom 😂😂😂

There is a bug where when you change timeline in that dongeon it refreshes stacks of maelstrom, thorn shield etc...

[sterile sandal]

no, it's much worse than that

I can become literally invincible

I just destroyed T4 Julra (that SS was T3), while taking all of her damage

look at the ward

[desert tree]

Is that the werebear/spriggan build I've seen recently?

[sterile sandal]

I modified it a bit, but yeah

[desert tree]

How is the dmg?

[sterile sandal]

the way waltzingbear has it, absolutely terrible

unless you get enemies to hit you repeatedly

the way I have it set up, it's low but passable

[desert tree]

What do you use for dmg?

[sterile sandal]

maelstrom is my main damage

[desert tree]

Your 142 stacks of maelstrom? 😂

[sterile sandal]

I swapped out Eterra's blessing for swipe

[sterile sandal]

put in a 2 handed staff, changed maelstrom to have both "more damage" nodes

have thorn shield and werebear maelstrom nodes (3 for thorn shield, 2 for swipe)

outside of the temporal sanctum, I've hit 50K+ ward so far

[desert tree]

Nice

[sterile sandal]

my normal maelstorm stacks are about 15-25

armor, 84-85% at almost all times

[desert tree]

It's a fun build/interaction

I don't think I will enjoy the gameplay but I love the idea

[sterile sandal]

I like my version better, it's MUCH better vs bosses I think

for swipe I focused on aspect of the panther

35% more global damage if max stacks 🙂

[desert tree]

Yep that's juicy

[sterile sandal]

if maelstorm wasn't bugged, T4 Julra probably would have taken me about 10 minutes, assuming I legit survived her damage (which I'm unsure, probably can?)

[desert tree]

Pretty sure you will be able to tank the big explosion with 65k ward

[sterile sandal]

my normal ward isn't 65K

the highest I've had not in that dungeon is a bit over 50K

and it fluctuates heavily

[desert tree]

How much did you get on julra?

[sterile sandal]

um... literally a few million?

[desert tree]

See easy

[sterile sandal]

it max displays at 65K

well, 65,535

[desert tree]

Yep

[sterile sandal]

it took a solid minute for my ward to go to normal

obviously a bug

I can't replicate it outside the temporal sanctum

[desert tree]

Do you swap era?

During your setup?

[sterile sandal]

yeah I was swapping, maybe I should test not

and see if I can eat her damage

[desert tree]

There is a bug where when you change timeline in that dongeon it refreshes stacks of maelstrom, thorn shield etc...

[sterile sandal]

I can eat 250 mono boss damage (and that was when I was a bit weaker)

[sterile sandal]

and it does something weird to ward

[desert tree]

Really?

[sterile sandal]

unless it's the thorn shield

[desert tree]

Probably thorn shield

[sterile sandal]

I'll run it and check the character screen

the displayed thorn shield stacks never got crazy though

like that SS has 8

I may be the first person though to have several million ward ...

[desert tree]

Yeah but bugged ward...

[sterile sandal]

it's the thorn shield

and ward, because the decay at say 200K ward should be astronomical

she can kill me ... (if I don't port)

I ate the ground damage but something else blasted me

[desert tree]

The big aoe inflict 4 stacks of doom

They deal shit ton of dmg too

[sterile sandal]

wasn't the floor AoE, was something directly from her

probably hit me for 7-8K damage (and through 84% armor)

it really sucks though, if I could time shift legit I could probably kill her, but time shifting makes me literally invincible

[desert tree]

She does
Big void aoe
Lighting
Cold triangle

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

[sterile sandal]

well I submitted a bug report for this

I'd rather fight her legit

yeah I can't begin to tank all of her damage yet

individual things, yes, but once she drops my ward down, it's over

[jolly pulsar]

frostbite increases freeze rate by 20% each stack right?

it just says chance to freeze on it

it's pretty confusing what it does if it's on the enemy or just adds to my own freeze rate

[sinful laurel]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/ailments/frostbite

It's an applied ailment so kinda has to be on the enemy

[faint cape]

^ that, and yeah effectively you can think of it as multiplying your final freeze rate

[sterile sandal]

@balmy current If you could get a max roll t7 CDRS on both belt & boots that would take your transform abilities down to 2.12s, then a water shrine would take them down to 1.92s. (from #🎥┃video-shoutout) . How is this possible? The maximum I came up with is 2.715 seconds. Helmet - 25%, Belt - 32%, Boots - 32%, Chest - 12%, Rings - 20% (10% each) = 121%, 6/2.21 = 2.715

(I didn't want to spam that channel as it seems to be for video only)

assuming the 100% cdrs shrine is additive (to the 121%), that brings it down to 1.87 seconds

[balmy current]

no idea, must have made a mistake with my maths.

[faint cape]

The cooldown shrine is multiplicative, fyi

pretty sure, at least, look at your CDs before grabbing and then after, should always be half

[iron zealot]

Hey, all. Haven't played in awhile. Would like recommendation for a ranged build with good sustain (prefer regenerative forms over leech, but either is okay). Can anyone point me toward something fun that fits into this?

[sterile sandal]

I've been playing a modified version of that build (it's not too far off my own original concept of using human/spriggan to do the same thing, but the werebear rampage moves well for clearing monos).

[sterile sandal]

I would say some kind of sorcerer or lich build, marksman is an option too but as far as I know it's survivability is lower than those 2 (I haven't played a marksman)

[iron zealot]

I used to play quite a bit of sorc. I remember it being good. Ward is quite powerful and their aoe is stellar.

[surreal verge]

Yup, that's most likely Lich or Sorc

[sinful laurel]

I personally recommend sorc

[surreal verge]

Or Throwing Rogue

[iron zealot]

Didn't enjoy lich tho

Health was too spikey

[sterile sandal]

druid is an option too, though you wouldn't really be "that" ranged (shaman too)

[sinful laurel]

Throwing sentinel works quite well too

[surreal verge]

Kinda in their nature, because of Death Seal

Sorc would be more of your thing then

[iron zealot]

Yeh

[sinful laurel]

Or caster sentinel

[iron zealot]

Am I missing something here? I'm comparing the elements fire/cold/electric, and looking at their ailments.

Fire gets Ignite
Cold gets Chill & Frostbite
Electric gets Electrify & Shock

Shock is less effective against bosses and Fire doesn't get a debuff, so seems like Cold is the way to go... but I feel like I must be missing something about this.

[surreal verge]

Fire has more generic damage ups compared to the other two, and electrify and frostbite is rarer.

To note that I don't think mages can get electrify.

Ignite is common while the other two damage ailments aren't as common.

100+ ignite stacks is easily doable in a build focused around it.

[sinful laurel]

Easily doable in a build not focused on it lol

[surreal verge]

Ignite moment

[iron zealot]

So the sheer dmg from ignite stacks is arguably more valuable than the debuffing of bosses to make them more survivable?

Trash is easy to kill either way, so I'm not worried about that

[native sail]

Lightning I think is technically still the best just cuz... good fucking lord the lightning skills are jacked in this game

[sinful laurel]

Yeah and shock actually benefits electrify directly

Chill is awesome but doesn't help frostbitr at all

[iron zealot]

Well, res reduction is always good, lol

[surreal verge]

Also this set exists.

Except shock, the rest doesn't cut resistances.

[iron zealot]

I vaguely recall lightning was easier to build around

[sinful laurel]

Also albino remember that in LE those ailments aren't strictly tied to the respective elements

[iron zealot]

Ah, right. I can put chill chance on my weapon for my lightning to proc if I want to, ya?

[surreal verge]

Ye, it triggers on any hit if it's an affix.

[faint cape]

Chill is also not really tied to cold damage, you can get chill on every build

[sinful laurel]

Any skill that hits can apply any Ailment you have a % chance for

[iron zealot]

In that case, I think Frailty would be more of a priority then. Just not getting one-shot by bosses is my main concern.

[surreal verge]

Yeah, you might as well tie Freeze into cold instead of Chill tbh

[sinful laurel]

Frailty and chill are both huge

And you don't need a lot of %

They only stack to 3

[faint cape]

^ the slowdown from chill makes it easier to avoid boss attacks

[native sail]

I try to fit slow, chill, and frailty whenever possible

[iron zealot]

I remember Lit Blast as a wonderful skill too

[faint cape]

same, excecpt idc about slow

[sinful laurel]

I always do slow on any build with any range

Especially since it stacks with chill

[sinful laurel]

It is, several ways to do it

[desert tree]

And chill stacks are multiplicative with each other

[faint cape]

yup, that's a little quirk of things; slow is the same way

[desert tree]

Frailty?

[sinful laurel]

I actually not sure about frailty stacks

Would be funny

[faint cape]

not 100% sure on it, but I think frailty is the same way, too

[iron zealot]

Fools. Fools!
https://i.imgur.com/DIGAxz1.png

[sinful laurel]

Doesn't answer the question though

[iron zealot]

I think it's saying the stacks are additive, other modifiers are multi

[sinful laurel]

Multiplicative with itself is the question

Cause iirc the other ailments are worded the same way

[iron zealot]

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

This one is pretty clear about it

https://i.imgur.com/b35UShn.png

[sinful laurel]

Well frostbite is different but yeah the chill is clear. So you may be right

Frailty may just be additive with itself

[iron zealot]

That's at least how it reads. I have no idea if it's right.

[faint cape]

Chill and slow used to read the same way as frailty, their text was updated recently

either way, it doesn't make that much difference, and frailty also doesn't have any reduced effect on bosses, which is nice

[sinful laurel]

Yeah true. With only 3 stacks it really doesn't matter, you will be at 3 stacks on most builds anyways

[iron zealot]

My god I hate the beginning of ARPGs... lol

They always have to be so slow/boring

[acoustic thicket]

i see some of these build guide videos on youtuben include links for "build planner aspirational". there doesn't seem to be much difference in them. any idea what aspirational is?

[iron zealot]

Perhaps they mean something like "ideal bis" or something

[sinful laurel]

Yeah I would read that as "this is where you should aspire to be at endgame/when finished"

[balmy current]

No, chill is worded differently. Frailty doesn't mention that it's multiplicative with itself, chill does.

Sorry, that was supposed to be @sinful laurel

[sinful laurel]

Yeah we cleared it up

But toast said that wording change was recent,so who knows. Maybe frailty does too and wording needs changing also

[prisma sleet]

how do we compare a picked up ring to the right ring? i'm only able to compare to left for some reason

[native sail]

We can't right now. It is on the list of things to do.

[prisma sleet]

i swear we used to be able to

[surreal verge]

We never were able to.

[prisma sleet]

well it has been a while since i played so i could easily be wrong. haven't played since 0.8.5 or something like that

[native sail]

0.8.5 released in March 2022 so... yeah. It has never been a thing.

[prisma sleet]

as i said, been a while

[pallid crag]

best item to use rune of ascendence on?

[sinful laurel]

Whatever you unique you need that isn't a boss drop

[sterile sandal]

why is poison twister so OP? I just took probably over 10K worth of damage from one (20K+ ward plus my health) without taking additional damage, plus 18% DoT damage reduction and 71% poison res, and died

that's not a fun mechanic

[faint cape]

a lot of DOTs are just really strong in general, really rough to mitigate

[wide sentinel]

cause your armor and some damage reductions not work

[sterile sandal]

I realize that, why I didn't include them

[wide sentinel]

well thats your answer then

[faint cape]

yeah, that's the point though, 18% is much less than your usual mitigations probably

[sterile sandal]

But pretty much any build would die to that much poison damage

[wide sentinel]

usually people just dodge it

[iron zealot]

I think they're asking why abilities can even hit that hard

[sterile sandal]

A gorgon?

Hard to dodge an enemy that turns into a twister

[faint cape]

some things are meant to be avoided, that's definitely one of those abilities - is it overtuned? yeah probably, but it is at least decently easy to avoid

[wide sentinel]

^

[sterile sandal]

Was in arena, when you got 30 enemies on the screen, and are practically melee range, when it turns into a twister an

And hits me, I ran away and died as i was running

[faint cape]

isn't the poison twister the one that it shoots forward? you might've run along with it if you couldn't see due to mob clutter

[sterile sandal]

Still, taking THAT much damage is insane

[iron zealot]

I generally disdain "just dodge it" design since it tends to leave melee builds firmly outside the meta (and sometimes viability)

[wide sentinel]

melee will suck in almost any arpg tbh

[sterile sandal]

Most builds would've dropped within a second or 2

[iron zealot]

That's a big piece of why tho

[wide sentinel]

cant balance it really, unless u make a game weird

[sterile sandal]

So since dodging isn't always possible, what's the solution

[iron zealot]

I think D3 had a good starting point with 30% DR for melees. It probably needs more consideration than that, but it felt pretty good.

[wide sentinel]

every build can dodge

wdym

you have movement abilities

[sterile sandal]

Gorgon turns into twister, hits me, how do I dodge that

[wide sentinel]

what class are u

[sterile sandal]

Druid

[iron zealot]

I do think movement abilities are a decent answer too, fwiw, but I'm not familiar enough with druid to say much about their options or if the mechanics of it make sense or feel good to use

[sterile sandal]

I ran off with rampage pretty much right after I was poisoned but was too late, it was ticking for several thousand

[faint cape]

dodging is often a lot easier in close range

[safe harness]

Leech, hp, regen, poison resistance

[sterile sandal]

How do you dodge a enemy that turns into a poison twister?

[wide sentinel]

hmm so are u a baer? wat build are u playing

[faint cape]

and enemies do use different abilities depending on how far you are away

[wide sentinel]

if you are swipe u permastun them

if EQ then dont get close

[sterile sandal]

Bear/spriggan

[wide sentinel]

mmm what is your dps skills them

bear spriggan is just support skils

[sterile sandal]

Mainly maelstrom

Spriggan form ^

Werebear/spriggan forms

[wide sentinel]

well if you were maelstrom bear u could just use entanglig roots to dps them down slowly

[sterile sandal]

assuming I can't always avoid the twister, how do i survive it?

[safe harness]

Cleanse

[wide sentinel]

yep cleanse dot

the tornado itself easy to avoid and it wont stay long on you for long, then u cleanse remaining psn stacks

[sterile sandal]

My warcry has it but I had just used it right before (Rampage triggers it)

[wide sentinel]

you always must have cleanse affix on belt

every build uses that

[sterile sandal]

I moved off it quickly b it was draining my ward like 3-4k/tick

[wide sentinel]

im surprised you arent suffering from osprixes then if you dont have belt cleanse, they blink on you and apply ignites that are even worse than gorgon psn

[sterile sandal]

They're the only mob that kills me in arena, gorgons

So I need to make a new belt then, and hope I get the right mods to go with cleanse

[wide sentinel]

ye usually u just seal t1

cleanse

or leave t1, cause not many builds need 2 prefixes on belt reallt and its better to seal 1 suffix

[sterile sandal]

Attunement, cdr, cold res

[safe harness]

But also, dots hurt

[sterile sandal]

It's why I slapped on advent of the erased boots, for the DoT reduction since I'm perma haste

No other way to reduce/mitigate poison?

[faint cape]

there are, but I can't think of any great ways that'll fit in your build

[safe harness]

These, but if you’re doing ward then leech and regen don’t help much

[sterile sandal]

Hp isn't even very beneficial since my ward usually is 5 digits

[safe harness]

Could get an oracle amulet

[sterile sandal]

Should I overcap poison res?

[sterile sandal]

Not had a good one drop, they seem very rare

I guess I'm trying tp figure out how poison from a normal mob, is stronger than most boss attacks

[faint cape]

well, it's a rare mob - aren't you also running in arena?

endless mode still?

[sterile sandal]

Endless, yeah

[iron zealot]

Is there an ETA on the still-undeveloped class masteries like Runemaster?

[sterile sandal]

Whenever full release happens

[faint cape]

With 1.0, planned by the end of this year

[iron zealot]

Very cool

[faint cape]

This might be the main issue you are running into, mobs get stupid levels of damage at high enough wave count. You will need to adapt the way you play if you want to push to high waves

[sterile sandal]

Every other mob I tank pretty easily

So I'll try to make a cleanse belt

Was wave 315 where I died

[faint cape]

wonky things start happening, I don't think they all scale quite the same way - plus, DOT is pain

[sterile sandal]

It's definitely painful

And I always seem to get the maps with gorgons

Even the siege golems (another overtuned enemy) I can handle

And the matrons which DoT the screen and revive themselves

[safe harness]

Eventually you will die in endless arena if things hit you

[surreal stone]

I was playing necromancer and was wondering if there's a way to make my minions run in front of me, because I have this constant feeling they're lagging behind and that doesn't feel amazing to play, as I can be pretty squishy at times

I've also been wondering how I could optimize the build between the skeletons, skeleton mages, wraiths and the golem, since I wanna run all 4

I've also been wondering if going towards a "less is more" approach would be better than simply stacking as many minions as humanly possible or vice versa

Flame golem aura gives me the vibe that it's better to just unleash mayhem than having stronger, fewer summons

[candid elm]

The A key, by default, tells your minions to attack the enemy under your cursor or, if there's not an enemy, move to that location.

It's not particularly convenient, but you can keep your cursor in front of you and tap the A key as you move.

[surreal stone]

That's mostly alright due to other games I play requiring that sort of gameplay pattern

I wish there was a command indicator

Like some arrows pointing to where I A click

I could suggest something like that

Since it helps convey that I am indeed commanding the minions there

[candid elm]

You can check out builds from LE Tools https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/ or maxroll https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides
for ideas

[surreal stone]

Will do

I have the idea somewhat brewing already, was just worried about trying things out, since re-leveling skills is annoying this early in the game

[candid elm]

It becomes much easier later. You'll reach a point where ever skill is minimum level 10 upon respec and it will only take a couple of echoes to max them back to 20.

[surreal stone]

I hope so. Never went that far, because I feel like builds rarely require late levels on skills for meaningful spikes

[faint cape]

The matron beam attack is actually not a DOT, which is why it's not so bad

[jolly pulsar]

on blessings i see that there's a blue bar filling up around the blessing, what is that?

[desert tree]

How good your roll is

[jolly pulsar]

ah aight

[desert tree]

The fuller the better

[fading imp]

If i have increased cold damage, does it affect my skele mages and archers or does it have to be shared X damage? Tho there's only shared fire and necro damage

[candid elm]

It would need to say Minion on it.

[candid elm]

There's Acolyte idols with Increased Minion Cold Damage.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/prefixes/AEwTgLEA
and the unique amulet Frozen Eyes of Formosus from boss of timeline Blood, Frost, and Death https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzDMEZwFiA

But yes, the shared cold idols are only for Mage/Primalist.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/suffixes/AMwJgjEA

[desert tree]

Mage minion ❤️

[sinful laurel]

Gotta love some teleport illusions

[fading imp]

Ohh thanks a lot! Thanks for the really comprehensive answer!

Around what level can I take on monos to level? Afaik enemies start at 56 right? I remember I was able to hang with them on level 48 on my first character

[candid elm]

You're welcome

[candid elm]

Whenever you're comfortable with it. You can go into them as soon as you reach end of time, which is in your 20s, but I usually do it after I have the 15/15 passive points and 8/8 idols. Which, yeah, is usually in the 40s and in Act 7 after you get the Lance.

[fading imp]

Right, i forgot about those side quests

[cedar locust]

There's a list on LETools of which quests give Passive points and Idol slots if you need to track some down 🙂

[fading imp]

OHHH okay that's nice since I couldn't remember all those from my first campaign lol. Thank you!

[cedar locust]

Let me know if you need a link, they're under the 'Checklist' tab at the top of the site

[fading imp]

Have it open now. Thank you so much 😁

[kind bramble]

i just started the game im like lvl 46 and dont want to see commons or magic any more so i tried to set up the loot filter and did this

but im stilll seeing them

am i doing something wrong the filter is enabled

[icy drift]

@kind bramble No need for the item type condition if you don't want to see any whites or blues, and make sure there's nothing above this rule that overrides it aswell as making sure your filter is actually on (don't remember the keybind, was something like x or z)

[kind bramble]

yeah the item filters is just for stuff like im playing melee rouge and dont need to see wands and stuff like that

what would be something that overrides the rarity filter?

it is on too

[icy drift]

Ah right on, any rule above this one that's set to show those items would override it, for example if you have a rule that makes items with certain affixes "show", if a wand or whatever has that affix it'll show despite this rule since that one would override it by being above

Two decent ways of structuring a filter is by either blacklisting or whitelisting items. In the case of whitelisting you'd have a rule at the bottom hiding everything, and then make rules above it to show the things you want. A blacklist would be the opposite where you have rules hiding items you don't want to see

[kind bramble]

ahhhh

so i need to put the rarity one over the item type?

[fervent glade]

order doesnt matter; they just need to be their own rules

[kind bramble]

ok

thank you

i was getting annoyed when my screen was full of blues

[native sail]

This is not true. Filter works off of the determined order you put in. If an item fits a rule above it ignores the rules below.

[fervent glade]

Just be sure to have rules that show/emphasize above the rules that hide.

[fervent glade]

for the purpose of two rules that hide; it dont matter
