[surreal verge]

Area level is basically map level.
TLDR:Murder the boss in empowered monoliths.

[acoustic glacier]

I'm still in the process of gearing, leveling and learning my character, so empowered monoliths are way too high for me, atleast atm, or are you saying that the monolith needs to be empowered for the boss to drop the gloves?

[surreal verge]

Empowered, or the monolith he's from needs to have corruption so that the area level is 74 instead of 70.

[acoustic glacier]

My god I'm stupid... Thanks for clarifying 👍

[surreal verge]

Best of luck

[acoustic glacier]

Thank you! :)

[surreal verge]

(IT's also a rare drop, but it's from a boss but it's not that headache inducing)

[acoustic glacier]

I have the stubborness of a donkey and the patience of a god so that's not gonna be a problem. I'll sit here all night/morning until I have them :3

[surreal verge]

Don't worry it's not as bad as farming for a normal rare drop, best of luck!

[steady mantle]

hey so i havent played in like 4 patches,and remember when i was reading skills,void cyclone/whirlwind looked cool
hows the progression from scratch?will i struggle or?

[steady mantle]

is there player trading now?

[rain talon]

following some tips on my fire sorcerer, but it says to put points in to Brainstorm which seems like no longer excist nor a passive with simillar points

[storm blaze]

No trading yet
you can gift to party member if you were in same instance when item dropped

[pure pier]

quick question - should you sell gear u pick up or can you break them down for mats?

[grave canyon]

anyone has problems with the game disconnecting a few seconds after logging in? it started happening to me after the update.

[sterile widget]

You can do either, but the gold value is very low, so you'll make more if you don't bother stopping to pick them up or sell them (I know this seems counter-intuitive)

[grave canyon]

i have waited for a week, nothing happened, i posted on steam forum, nobody from the team answered

[sterile widget]

I haven't had this issue myself

You can contact support directly

!support

[ripe brook]

Let's work together to get it sorted! We've support articles and a contact form here: https://support.lastepoch.com/.

[grave canyon]

thank you skip

i will attempt the solutions

[fervent quiver]

Has the community figured out the pattern behind experimental affixes already, or not yet?

[sterile widget]

The glyphs are bugged and not dropping so people can't try 🙂

(Other than maybe reverse engineering it)

[zinc anchor]

Is the affix with "armour and reduced damage taken from critical strikes" super new? It's not in the loot filter, and the in-game description when you go to the forge tool says "715" instead of the words lol

[surreal verge]

Newest.

[sterile widget]

New this patch

[surreal verge]

It just dropped this patch

[zinc anchor]

cool. lastepochtools says it can come on any armor. That'll be easy to squeeze into a build, especially pairs nicely with the "mental catalysis" passive in runemaster (8% reduced bonus damage from critical strikes and +1 INT with a catalyst per point, up to 6 points)

can enemies have more than +100% bonus damage from critical strikes or does reducing it by 100% effectively negate all the bonus damage every time?

[fervent quiver]

aw, bummer

[fervent quiver]

reducing it by 100% means you take no bonus damage from crits, regardless of enemy crit multiplier

[zinc anchor]

Got it, so it's like multiplicative with how much damage they were gonna do, not additive. Nice!
Also it's not as important to get to 100% like critical strike avoidance is. You could sit at a cool 98% and be totally fine.

[fervent quiver]

yes and no. If youre sitting at 98% less bonus damage taken, youre probably fine

but if youre sitting at 98% crit avoidance (chance to not be crit) then there is still a 2% damage for you to be crit for full bonus damage and die

[vale lake]

That's exactly what he said

[fervent quiver]

Indeed it is, I misread.

[faint cape]

And just fyi, it is in the loot filter under the 'crit avoidance' section. It has no name, so its entry is really subtle, but it is the third one that's not the old two.

Hope that makes sense lol

[zinc anchor]

Thanks! I'll look for it

[wheat imp]

Any of you all know why (I am in Virginia) I get better ping to Central Servers instead of US East, ?Of all the games I play this is the only one like that.

[proper oxide]

anybody playing with boosteroid?

[wide sentinel]

does your char level matter for weavers affixes that u can get? i assume not cause i think i got t7 affix on boots when was lvling arouund lvl 37~

[zinc anchor]

Even west is better than east 😆

[balmy oriole]

Anyone else feel like the unique drop rate of the imprisoned mage should be like way way higher?

[dense root]

no

[native sail]

Not really. Barring the spear (because it is a spear), they're all potentially extremely powerful

[dense root]

but also exiled mage drop rates are influenced by corruption

so there's an easy way to make the drop rates higher

[copper fable]

tbh there is already people saying they are too common that it makes them less exciting. im not in that boat, but they are fairly easy to get once you hit empowered

[balmy oriole]

Im playing empowered 200 ish corruption and I am at a 45ish streak of no unique

[dense root]

idk i've dropped like 10 merophage and at least 2 or 3 of each other unique

and i'm not playing at like 2000 corruption

[copper fable]

i mean 45 exiled mages is not realistically that much if im being honest

[native sail]

^

[dense root]

45 is also a low enough sample size that lots of random stuff can happen yeah

[copper fable]

you can also farm them if you are really hungry for the drops

find a small layout and just leave after you kill the mage

[dense root]

it does feel like that should be patched out

[copper fable]

I did wrecked fleet to farm experimental affixes

[dense root]

i don't know that it's actually a better return for your time than playing normally since you're giving up other rewards

but it just feels wrong that it exists

[copper fable]

well its just target farming yeah it removes other loot to fast track the mages loot

thats why I dont think it needs to be patched out

what does need to be patched out however is caches in arena echos

atleast for the mage you have to actually track it down still

lets just say I farmed probably 100 ascendancies in 1.5 hours just doing the stupid arena strat

[dense root]

caches in arena echoes is bizarre yes

[balmy oriole]

is there a guarenteed mage in every echo?

[copper fable]

while also dropping tons of keys and exalted etc

[dense root]

no

rune prison and lost cache changes scale with corruption

[copper fable]

At 200+ I think there is... Atleast for me

[dense root]

possibly they scale to a point where they hit 100% eventually

there definitely isn't always one at 200+

[copper fable]

i was at 250 when I farmed the mages and I never failed to get one

maybe just lucky i guess

[dense root]

since i've revealed entire maps without finding one at higher corruption than that

[copper fable]

its fairly high chance either way

[dense root]

(not often since i don't habitually reveal the whole map but more than never)

[copper fable]

But yeah, just play you will eventually get all the uniques then be bored of mages as they keep dropping t1 experimental affixes

what they should buff however is the cuckoo, because its funny as hell

And a fun gamba item

[dense root]

idk if it needs a buff

i think it's pretty strong already

[copper fable]

i mean make it more common

[dense root]

that base is great if you don't need the crit

oh

eh

it's weird enough that idk if i like that

[copper fable]

gamba items are great when they are just rare enough to make you chase them, but not so rare that when you lose the gamba you dont wanna try again

[balmy oriole]

well I am determined to get a 3 LP Ladle

[dense root]

oh ok well that's very unlikely

the drop rate isn't too low you just want something that's very rare

1lp is definitely doable since it has a low lpl

honestly even 2

but i bet you need to drop like 20 of them to get 3lp and it's a rare drop so

[copper fable]

yeah I hit 2lp one with only dropping 5~ or so

[dense root]

hm maybe 20 is low

i think the average for 3lp is probably a double digit number though

since lpl is only 17

[native sail]

I've got two 1LPs from 3 drops so far

[dense root]

right 1lp i think is super easy

but like i think about the falcon

which is lpl 0

and i've dropped several dozen of

maybe over a hundred

i have i think two 3lp falcons

this is obviously anecdotal but still you get my point

[balmy oriole]

ive dropped 5 so far and all without LP but all of these were during the campaign so thats not very surprising

[zealous orchid]

Can someone give me a node in a skill tree that drastically affects gameplay?

Doesn't matter which

[dense root]

shuriken blade shield

[zealous orchid]

Ok that's kinda cool just wish more skills had nodes that significantly alter ur playstyle

Or have items do that

Something like this

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/455537414069420034/1151914027379859486/image.png

Taking that one skill allows u to alter ur gameplay up and it's player skill based to

[static glacier]

whats correct? text or symbols?

stole lance timeline

The Stolen Lance 62 God Hunter Argentus Wands, Sceptres, Staves, Catalysts (acording to tunklab the symbols...)

[dense root]

symbols are right here

[lunar holly]

can someone who's better than me at math tell me which of the two will yield more damage for spark charges on Fragment of the Enigma:

1. 125% more damage, 56% increased spell damage, +10 int
2. 84% more damage, 26% crit multi, +13 int

[balmy oriole]

depends on your already existing stats, how much increased damage do you already have and how much int and whats your crit rate and current crit multi

[lunar holly]

111 int 😁

[zealous orchid]

Are there any skills,nodes,items that say something like if u take x DMG then u start dealing that DMG?

Pretty much this

[balmy oriole]

based on my qiuck and maybe flawed math excel sheet option 1 does about 33% more damage compared to 2

[lunar holly]

Thanks! 😄 Just tested vs Lagon and I certainly deleted him faster with 1.

[faint cape]

No, there's no way to affect what affixes are generated by WW

[zinc anchor]

So...in the latest news update the devs addressed long loading times they're going to try to fix. But what about the bigger picture, all the lag and rubberbanding in multiplayer, especially when playing with someone else? (But even alone) Any chance they fix that???

I may as well just stay offline because playing online is SO frustrating.

[lunar holly]

might be a better idea to #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs

[vagrant bolt]

Hi, cant seem to find it on the FAQ or online, but do higher tiers of current supporter packs include the lower tiers? If i'll purchase the Eternal Legend tier, will I be able to use skins from example, Eternal Templar?

[zealous orchid]

Do we know if full controller support is coming with 1.0?

[steel merlin]

I never understand these questions, like what do you think they are going to say?

"no, fuck you, we won't improve our game"?

[lunar holly]

nope, you only get the one you've purchased with the current packs

[vagrant bolt]

thanks!

[zinc anchor]

"There's not a problem, what problem?"

[sterile widget]

Why would they say that?

They've acknowledged performance (generally and specifically) numerous times inthe past.

Further, 0.9.2 includes a partial rework of all the networking functionality, mentioned in pre-patch week posts and the patch notes as I recall.

I agree that the current online experience can be disappointing and frustrating at times, but they haven't been dismissive of these issues in the past, so I find it highly unlikely they would do so now.

[zinc anchor]

Ok, I didn't know, that's all I ask. It wasn't in the patch notes with list of issues. And if they recently reworked things, mayeb they think thing are working fine now.

[sterile widget]

In 0.9.2 pre patch and patch notes they said they expect some issues along with the rework

Also, the rework is only partially completed, so hopefully things improve for you

[native sail]

We've had CMs (mainly Ave) assuring us that the team is aware of networking issues and is actively working on them in the background as they were not under the assumption it would be super clean and have no issues when they did it (as EHG is honestly rather smart in the overall scheme of things)

[zinc anchor]

Ok, good to know. I hadn't played for a while before patch 0.9.2 and I come back and just still laggy as always if not worse and it was...disappointing. 😕 Good to know they're still working on it. This is a great awesome super game other than that, it really is

[balmy ore]

is it me or sometimes the movement is weird? I'm playing runemaster and sometimes when i cast any skill and click move right after, it moves me in a random direction

a quick video of whats happening. My character just doesnt move to the cursor

[zinc anchor]

I'm not familiar with that skill, do you have some kind of passive that makes you move backward when you attack?

[balmy ore]

i do have Runic Invocation with this perk but im not using it here

and im actually not just moving backwards, its always that direction

[zinc anchor]

did you try relogging? I'm not sure

[balmy ore]

yep. Its slightly annoying but i can live with it

[zinc anchor]

Can a key make you move? Like on the num pad, the number 9? Maybe your 9 is sticky if so and stuck down or something. If it's always "northeast" type direction. shrug

[balmy ore]

nope haha its not the skill casting that makes me move, its me clicking move right after i use a skill, on the same spot, which moves me in a different direction

[stone granite]

That passive in cyberpunk doesn't alter your style at all. It simply allows you to use skills in a context you normally couldn't, something impossible in a game like LE. You can't compare these at all.

[zinc anchor]

Oh yeah, you think subconciously that you need to click, but you don't, so you move? I've done similar in League of Legends, for example, with Karthus I always "Q then click" when all you need to do is Q. Feels so odd 😛

[balmy ore]

nah nah not that, i use the skill then i do want to move, and i click move real fast, then that happens. Same for league, you Q as karthus, then you wanna move forward, to chase them, for example

not gonnna lie, this habit comes from league. Click to move, skill, click to move, ...

[zinc anchor]

lol

[scenic scaffold]

who would you recommend to watch for beginner build ideas? trying not to invest too much time cause of school and whatnot

[zinc anchor]

Action RPG on youtube! he's great

[zinc anchor]

Does there happen to be any uniques that set your mana regen to 0?

[tacit venture]

anyone know why i cant find the phys pen crafting mod for amulets?

[surreal verge]

It's rare, afaik

[copper fable]

no, but there is a unique that spends all of your mana as soon as you hit full

Allowing you to sorta control your mana

Culvinars claim iirc is its name, its a lightning scpetre.

[zinc anchor]

yeah I need a cold wand or something similar. doesn't fit in my cold build 😦

But that's a neat effect, don't know if I want to switch to lightning though

[copper fable]

why do you want no mana regen anyways

[zinc anchor]

to abuse the passives of focus when your mana is negative without the big heavy mana spells like glacier

it's hard to get my mana negative and keep it there lol

[copper fable]

lol well isnt that just a mana gen mechanic?

[zinc anchor]

and ward gain

[surreal verge]

I got a stupid idea for your stupid idea!

[zinc anchor]

does melee damage increse melee bleed damage?

like bleed caused by melee, I guess?

[barren plank]

If using Viper's Call with Swarmblade, does the Dexterity applying to Serpent Strike's chance to poison on hit get applied, too? Or is it only the nodes on its tree and not its applied values from stats that apply to it for Armblade Slashes? It says it doesn't include the base additional poison chance explicitly. I am specifically talking about the additional posion chance that only comes from dexterity, in this case. Not the base poison chance.

[surreal verge]

No

[zealous orchid]

Hmm I could see that. But it also says +25% weapon DMG while your drifting or airborne. That incentivizes people to do more drifting in there car and depending on that player's individual skill at drifting determines how much of that buff they get. I would count this as alters gameplay

[turbid crystal]

just asking for clarity, +2 minion spell lightning dmg gives +2 to all minion spells, not only +2 to minion lightning spells?

[cosmic mortar]

I tried spriggan from on druid yesterday for the first time, and I noticed sometimes I can't cast thorn shield while I had enough ressource and still in spriggan form.
Anyone have an idea why ? or it must just be a bug?

[steel merlin]

What is the source of the mod? I want to see the exact writing just in case

[steel merlin]

Applies to spells of all minions

[acoustic glacier]

Can someone in very simple English describe what "Rune of Research" does in a nutshell please? I've read the description several times and I don't understand :/

[native sail]

It seals an experimental affix 100% of the time at any tier

[acoustic glacier]

Does it mean that it adds a fifth affix? or what does "seal" here mean?

[native sail]

It basically moves it to a fifth slot yeah, but that affix cannot be modified any further. You can then add a new affix where it used to be.

[acoustic glacier]

Can I choose which affix is moved or is that random?

[native sail]

Rune of research only works on experimental affixes, no others

Glyph of despair works on others but it is chance based

[acoustic glacier]

Define what an experimental affix is, compared to a normal one please. I'm sorry for all these newbie questions but I am fairly new to the game, or rather new to crafting. I'm eager to learn though!

[copper fable]

and an item can only have 1 sealed affix for reference. So if you seal the experimental affix, you may not seal another affix.

Experimental affixes drop exclusively from exiled mages and are blue in color(i think im color blind)

[native sail]

Experimental affixes only have two sources, on drop on an item from an exiled mage or from crafting one with glyphs of insight. They are marked with a pale purple and are always prefixes.

[acoustic glacier]

Are you guys talking about the purple text on Exalted items?

[native sail]

Also, they cannot be crafted up in tier like normal affixes

[native sail]

Nope

They made exalted affixes a more vibrant purple this update to not conflict with experimentals

[amber rain]

Hey does anyone know, if multiple projectiles from the same runebolt cast can shotgun enemies?

[native sail]

Generally the rule is if there isn't something enabling them to shotgun they do not by default

[copper fable]

https://i.imgur.com/JgFfg0x.png they look like this on the item text,

https://i.imgur.com/2p0a9s2.png and the icons have this split feature showing its rare but also experimental

[amber rain]

So the chance to shoot multiple projectiles on Runebolts tree just adds a tiny bit of more area coverage? seems pretty shitty then

[native sail]

Thank you, Dice, I am not at my laptop

[acoustic glacier]

Wait a second, these items that these experimental stats are on counts as "rare" aka Yellow colour items?

[copper fable]

yes

you can get exalted versions too

[native sail]

They can also spawn as exalted. Or with an exalted affix that isn't experimental.

[copper fable]

they can also be blue i supposed, or magic, since they can drop with less then 3 affix

[native sail]

Yyyyep

[acoustic glacier]

I have removed rare from my loot filter, so no surprise why I didn't see the one from mages lol. But how can I see that the Exalted has an experimental stat? Are there two different kind of purples? The standard high tier one that comes with every Exalted and the one in the picture you linked?

[native sail]

Exactly, yes.

[copper fable]

or hold alt to check the tier when you are colorblind and cant tell the difference like me

haha

[native sail]

Real

[surreal verge]

Or set the loot filter for their affixes

[acoustic glacier]

Ok so getting experimental stats on Exalted items must be very rare then I assume?

[native sail]

Somewhat, not horrible though. I've seen a few so far. It's just kinda however the dice are feeling that day since experimental are a limited drop and exalted are just... wherever.

[copper fable]

I have dropped 2 total exalted experimental affixes since the patch, so id assume yes. you just see such less experimental items then normal items its natural to not see many exalted versions

[acoustic glacier]

Ok then I finally get it, thanks a TON for clarifying this for me! You all have the patience of gods :P

[hot carbon]

We are gods.

[native sail]

This is far from the dumbest thing I have ever had to answer, frankly it's a good question for anyone who isn't reading the news/blog posts constantly.

[native sail]

Down, girl. It's almost 6AM, put the sparkling water down and go to bed.

[hot carbon]

TF???

[native sail]

(That's my roommate, don't mind the nonsense)

[hot carbon]

anyways it’s not a dumb thing

i had the same question, too

[acoustic glacier]

Are there only 12 Experimental affixes? I'm can only see 12 on the loot filter unless I'm missing something.

[native sail]

I believe so yes

They're all prefixes, split between gloves, belts, and boots, and nothing else

[acoustic glacier]

Ok cool, loot filter updated! 👍

[native sail]

Anyway. goodnight

[marsh anvil]

how is the coop server connection with the new update

[faint cape]

Pretty sure it only gets the nodes on the spec tree. None of the innate skill stats or attribute scaling, since it has its own base stats and attribute scaling.

[zealous orchid]

Has EHG said anything about unitys changes?? Phasmophobia team did so jw if EHG has

[lunar holly]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/last-epoch-and-unity-pricing-updates/60699/12

[zealous orchid]

Surprised that's not in #news

Thx tho

[lunar holly]

the topic is from a community member, I doubt EHG are very thrilled to discuss it

[unborn peak]

How does Lightless Arbor works in party? Is it the guy that started the key that pays and every1 gets instanced loot or does every1 have to pay for its own modifiers?

Like is there any point in doing "Lightless Arbor Rotas"

[faint cape]

Only one player can use the door per run. Other players do get items from the chests, but it's just generic loot, not the actual reward loot.

[unborn peak]

Ohh so no point in doing it in party expect for “carry” purpose

Thanks

[faint cape]

Yeah things are definitely easier in groups, or just for fun

[dense root]

it does also help farm lp boss drops

[faint cape]

Well, I will add that the items do drop, so if you are run together, the door user can gift unwanted items to other party members

[haughty arrow]

hiya, for crafting uniques, is the specific base important? for getting dragonsong, the base needs to be longbow, right?

[dense root]

no

[faint cape]

Like with rune of ascendance? No, it doesn't matter what bow you use

[dense root]

just needs to be a bow

[haughty arrow]

oh, ok!

[haughty arrow]

yeah, ascendance. is anything else important? like char level? or something like "item level" (if something like that exists)?

[dense root]

no

[faint cape]

Nope, no way to influence the result other than picking a bow, 2h axe, ring, etc.

[haughty arrow]

cool, thx

[prime peak]

Whats the best minion build atm?

[dusky kite]

hard to say, but I think flame wraiths, squirrels, abom and golems with the unique are considered good

manifest armor with bleed too

[loud saddle]

its been a while since ive played this game but its still in beta?

[surreal verge]

Yeah.

[tiny jungle]

Has anyone used "age of vengeance" node in frost claw tree (glacier aoe) ? I can't see any AoE difference when using it, neither when the passive is stacked nor when the spirals are flying

[dusky kite]

the labels are largely meaningless these days with how the indursty is, games stay in "beta" for decades despite having all the features and monetization too

[little barn]

how do you get frostbite shackels

[lunar holly]

you go here and kill the boss

[little barn]

does it have to be empowered?

[lunar holly]

nope

it's 50% chance

wait .. I'm lying 😄

it's not 50% chance, but it doesn't require empowered

[plush river]

Hey guys, when i choose my mastery i get this information for Lich, but when i take a look in my passive's tab, it says something completely different. What applies now ?

[little barn]

bug probably the necro's info is getting put on the lich

[lunar holly]

it's beastmaster 😄

might wanna report this

[little barn]

ya but frostbite shackles require level 74 and the unempowered Blood frost and death are level 70

[lunar holly]

those requirements don't matter for boss items

check this https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/monolith/blood-frost-and-death/empowered/boss-items

those are the drops from that boss

[little barn]

ok I didn't know requirements didn't matter for bosses thx

[hasty tartan]

Does the Fortress Gardens have a waypoint or does it just look like it on the world map?

Oh, I searched past messages and it's bugged.

[faint cape]

Just also note that shackles are a rare drop. Doing it in empowered is going to increase your chances a lot, increase LP chance, and also generally just get you better everything during all the time you spend getting stability.

[dense root]

pretty sure area level does matter for boss drops

and you need to raise the area level with corruption to get shackles in unempowered

but also like father toast says it's just always correct to farm in empowered for a lot of reasons

[safe harness]

Wait, corruption raises area level?

[dense root]

(and if your build can't do empowered then it's probably smart to reevaluate if the build is good)

[dense root]

yes but most people don't gain corruption except in empowered where the area level is at the max already

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

Corruption also increases area level in standard timelines, and increases the rarity of guaranteed echo rewards in empowered timelines.

[lunar holly]

that's not true

[surreal verge]

The default area level is lower than shackle's lvl requirement...

[lunar holly]

it doesn't matter for boss drops, I've gotten stormcarved testament from 0 corruption Lagon

[surreal verge]

It's still a better idea to farm in empowered, but I see

[lunar holly]

now that's true 😛

[next quail]

does armor works on ward ?

[native sail]

Yes

[next quail]

nice

thx for quick answer

[next quail]

does spell damage and fire damage increase ignite damage ?

so is this 280% DOT damage + 51 spell damage or is this ignored ?

[wide sentinel]

no

spell damage has nothing to do with ignite

fire damage does work

[fluid cedar]

Heyho. Got a favor to ask, if anyone cares or can answer.
Is there a list that tells me WHERE i can find new uniques without telling me which/what they are?

Or if anyone could tell me if there is a runemaster item that would allow to trigger runic invocation as some sort of auto cast.

[wide sentinel]

where? there werent added any uniques that have specific drop locations, besides 4 uniques that drop from mages

also the only location specific uniques are boss and exile mages drops

anything else can drop anywhere

besdies fractured crown

[faint cape]

Yeah, that's really the whole answer - a bunch of global drops (only gated by area level) and a few Exiled Mage drops

is what is new

[fluid cedar]

True. That part was stupid of me.

[faint cape]

Nah, not a stupid question. To answer the question about where you would find that info though, typically the patch notes do provide the info you're looking for. I think. That'll also list details on updated uniques which kinda makes them new-ish.

[fluid cedar]

That part?

[faint cape]

Yeah, exactly

I'm also glad it does actually specify how many drop from the mage, I couldn't remember lol

[next quail]

thank you for your answer, what about spell fire damage ? Do I assume correctly it also do nothing ?

[faint cape]

There is always a small chance they release a secret unique like fractured crown where they won't say the secret way to get it

[fluid cedar]

Yeah, doesn't help me though. Hm. Maybe i should just look into the database.

[wide sentinel]

spell fire damage? thats a rare modifier but it also doesnt affect ignite, the general damage nodes on skill tree affect it tho, so for example if it says skills does %more dmg, not %more hit dmg then itll affect ignite too

[faint cape]

but otherwise, assume they are all random drops

[fluid cedar]

Hm...i'm searching a way to cast runic invocation without interrupting my speedy casting of runebolt or frost claw. Or simple: I don't wanna press the button to cast it.

[native sail]

Unfortunately you are looking for the same thing I was hoping for and it doesn't really exist

[fluid cedar]

I was afraidof it, because it does sound crazy. Maybe i should try to build the nearest possible. All kinds of auto casts on a castspeed build. Firehedron, Elemental Nova etc etc. But that could get difficult to make with the amount of skills.

Until now i used the "charged invocations", but that doesn't satisfy my need of mayhem.

[wide sentinel]

u can use flame dash node to autocast it

but thats about it afaik

[fluid cedar]

It is possible to have a chance to cast invocation when auto consuming runes trough other means, but i'm missing the way to spam those.

Did not understood the flame rush node yet. Paying 125% mana cost for practically pressing another button. Meh?

[faint cape]

Yeah, the only non-invocation means of consuming runes are highly dependent on manually using invocation to recharge

[fluid cedar]

To recharge? Recharge what?

Fatigue kicks in too hard, good night.

[faint cape]

20 second long cooldowns

Good night!

[sly fable]

In steam, the game frequently says it's launching and then just quits and nothing happens. I don't see the launch window

When I restart my computer, it launches, but then typically, if I try again later in the day, it doesn't work again, and only a restart sorts it out. Not having issues with any other games.

Any clever ideas?

[dense root]

i’ve never had this issue with le but i had something similar with another game where when i quit it normally the program wasn’t closing correctly and i had to go into task manager and close it out before i could start it up again

so maybe that’s something

[random ocean]

is there a bug with large monster? like them getting pushed away with object collision or some sort

what is better: + elemental damage or + x element damage

[half pawn]

on the flipside, you can push him away from blood pools if a bunch are clustered

[split wren]

can you trigger earth quake as a bear in druid? i thought u used to be able to but i cant find it now

[faint cape]

Usually the more specific one will show up with higher values, but if they are the same number, they are the same.

ohhh thanks i thought it was a thing you could do with bear by default

are there any good guides for making a soild custom filter? and updating it over time

ive tried the premade ones but the kinda feel pretty meh

[carmine coyote]

You can create your own with LEtools

I have completed all lvl 90 monos and still have no access to empowered monos, anybody know whats the problem ?

Have you gone into the middle of that area & clicked on the chest? Is it clickable at all?

[round turtle]

hi, any tips on how to sort bank inventory? i have a lot of duplicated unique items, and a lot of exalted items

im at the rate buying extra stash tab is too expsnive for me

[steel merlin]

mmm first thing id do is drop most exalted with just tier 6 mods, specially if those mods are common and not commonly used

[zinc anchor]

I wouldn't just "dropp all exalts with tier 6", if you horde literally every exalt you ever get, you will fill up inventory long before you can comfortably have all T7 exalts

[round turtle]

my headache cleaning stash

is there a key to drop item? i know that shift+right click is move between inventories

[fluid cedar]

Oh, that one. Yeah, can't find a way to make that work.

[tall wolf]

Why is this in stock already with F?? Is there any difference?😐

[surreal verge]

Nope.

[balmy current]

As a guide to get new players who may not know about crafting to "tutorialise" crafting.

[slim scarab]

sorry

why I can't put one point in that tier?

I have 25 point in shaman and 20 in primalist. I don't get it

[pastel pebble]

Its locked

Its a gated community

Yoi're not a Shamam

[slim scarab]

how to be a Shaman

[pastel pebble]

They don't need you walking your dogs ruining their pristine fungal gardens

You make a new character

Mastery decision is permanant

One of the few things in the game that are

[slim scarab]

damn

so

this primalist is marked Beastmaster

I need to start from zero and choice the shaman path?

52 level vanished, lol

That's it. Thank you @pastel pebble

[wide sentinel]

but why did u pick beastmaster

minion freeze build

[slim scarab]

Link please??

ATM I enjoyed binashole thorn totem build

I'll respec my BM with your build

[wide sentinel]

i dont have one, just guessed u wanted it

but u can use pretty much any build and slap the unique minion freeze sword on it, heard its pretty good

[slim scarab]

I try tò find that. Txs

[grim stag]

Hey guys, is there anything that bypasses ward?

[dense root]

yes

[grim stag]

I've read poison and necrotic dam does

[dense root]

ok well that's not true

it's specific sources

like the weird blood puddle things in the emperor of corpses fight

[faint cape]

It's only % current health effects that bypass ward, and they are incapable of killing you

such as those blood puddles

[grim stag]

hmm ok ty

[faint cape]

If anything kills you while you have ward up, it's a bug

(not counting ward gain effects that might proc after you die)

[grim stag]

XD

so I tend to have ward but notice when ground aoe happens it starts to dot me

or something that radiates dot

But you don't die until your ward is gone then

[faint cape]

Right, the % current health "damage" sources are like exsanguinous's life drain, they'll bring you to 1 health at the lowest

[grim stag]

cool cool

[sterile widget]

That's a lot of dolls

I only have one 😦

[empty garnet]

how do I get rune mage?

[native sail]

You select it on a Mage when picking your mastery

You cannot change masteries

[empty garnet]

It wouldnt let me. I have to do what when I make my character?

[native sail]

No, when you reach th End of Time for the first time on your character

[empty garnet]

Oh, I have no clue how far that is from where I am at.

[native sail]

Like level 15-20ish

Assuming you're not like farming the zones for some reason

[zinc anchor]

If you have "100% chance to slow attackes" (can roll on a catalyst, T5 goes up to 100%)...then does that mean every attacker is slowed?

[faint cape]

At 100%, you apply one stack of slow to the enemy every time it hits you, higher gives chances for more stacks (like normal ailment application).

[amber rain]

Hey does anyone know if Howl of the West Wind benefits from Stormhide Paws "Every 3 seconds your next Swipe has 100% of its base damage converted to Lightning and deals +(30 to 45) Melee Lightning Damage"?

[zinc anchor]

I think you mean that the other way around, does Stormhide Paws benefit from Howl of hte West Wind...

But if you're asking does HotWW increase SP's melee lightning damage by 7-13 then of course! 😄

But assuming you mean does it grant your wolves additional lightning melee damage equal to your melee lightning damage, then I'm afraid it's probably a no, because Swipe isn't a lightning skill. My guess is Swipe is just a physical skill that occasionally will do lightning damage. HotWW probably looks at did you cast a lightning skill, and if so, then it has a chance to proc. But it's just that...a guess. Maybe someone else here can say for sure.

[native sail]

You can very easily make Swipe a lightning skill in it's tree. I think they are asking does the timed added damage from Stormhide apply to Howl

[fervent quiver]

I know there hasn't been much time yet, but has there been any insight into how the experimental affix crafting works already?

[loud sorrel]

is there a fix for loading screen staying after loading is complete?

[deep briar]

no fault detects change from cable to wifi

reduction of the total loading screen it takes too long to load

bugs in multiplayer

[tired turtle]

Any way to fix not being able to load into echos? It just says Entering Echo and nothing happens at all

[tawny osprey]

if i increase corruption, what bonuses do i get? increase xp and what else

[lunar holly]

item rarity and stability from echoes

[copper fable]

the two new in echo mechanics scale with corruption as well.

Exiled mages/caches appear more often, and caches have higher chance to be rare ones with higher corruption

[tawny osprey]

should i do the first + corruption nodes or should i do a long run for more corruption +?

[tawny osprey]

@surreal verge you got any tip on this? how to do echos?

[surreal verge]

Rush objectives.

[tawny osprey]

objectives? the + corruptions?

[mighty anchor]

gives a termin for the realese from the last 2 subclasses from Rouge and Akolyth?

[carmine coyote]

Akolyth

[dense root]

the akolyth yeah

[tawny osprey]

akolyth sounds a cultist

[mystic pier]

Hello guys, which class should you play as a beginner? Is there a current Tier list?

[carmine coyote]

Akolyth top tier

[mystic pier]

Ok thx

[tawny osprey]

haha @mystic pier hes messing around

[carmine coyote]

https://tenor.com/view/acolyte-warcraft3-gif-15201125

Embrace the akolyth

[dense root]

bladedancer is probably the strongest mastery (pick rogue at start then specialize into bladedancer partway through the story) but you can really play almost anything

so i would recommend just picking what looks most fun to you

[next root]

Does the Celestial Conflux node get cast where my Frost Claw lands, or does it get cast on me?

[tawny osprey]

on you. unless modified to not do so

[next root]

Ah ok! So I need to pick up the Arcane Projection node to have it cast where my Frost Claw hits.

Thanks! 🙂

[tawny osprey]

or there is a helmet that i think does the same

[dark lake]

why does my ping go crazy at soulfire bastion? is this intended 🙂 thte deeper i go , the higher my ping goes?

[lunar holly]

yep, bastion has very thicc walls which distort the wi-fi signal

[tawny osprey]

how does merophage work?
is it that when i shatter a item it get 1 random affix? and what are the chances for fail?

[copper fable]

when you shatter an item you get up to the tier of the affix in shards. so lets say your item had t5 attack speed, and t6 melee physical

you can in theory get anywhere from 0-5 melee attack speed, and 0-6 melee physical

you always get atleast 1 shard when shattering. so it could be 1-12 total affixes

so you could shatter that t5/t6 sword and walk away with a t1 attack speed merophage and nothing else

or you could get the full affixes, or anywhere in between

[faint cape]

And if you shatter another sword, it erases all existing affixes for another attempt

[turbid crystal]

does summon spriggan suck

[dusky kite]

No, actually it's way too good at what it does, which is being a support/utility pet

The flat crit and crit avoidance aura could get a few nerfs

Oh wait it adds flat spell damage too

Now multiply it by how many totems you have out in say a thorn totem build

But yes if you want to build it as a primary damage pet it has limited options in this regard and you are probably better off with another choice, not that primalist lacks for it

[turbid crystal]

do you think the upheaval totems eating thorn totems is good or would i better off just not using upheaval totems ?

was thinking of trying them out but still leveling char since never played primalist before

[dusky kite]

Not an expert on upheaval totem builds, but it always felt very limited to me cause upheaval totem has a melee attack and most other totem effects on primalist are geared towards spells

[turbid crystal]

yeah that was stopping me too

didn't wanna split my skills between spell/melee just seems like a waste to not overlap everything as much as possible

[copper fable]

Upheaval totems have some interesting interactions if you can figure out how to give them base damage. but they are less of a shaman thing because of that.

because of the way they cast upheaval, they actually hit themselves with it. so with the buff to totem damage/armor on the side of upheaval, upheaval totems can buff themselves and ramp themselves

if you place them on each other they can ramp pretty hard with some minion attack speed.

[dusky kite]

the what lol

[turbid crystal]

that sounds pretty sick

[copper fable]

https://i.imgur.com/H34b46P.png

this thing

they are still mostly a meme but ive seen some beast masters use them well, just some food for thought. for me they are a let down because they have a really short duration lol

[old robin]

Anyone know why Lich has increased Companion Summon limit? All I could find was Primalists get Companions but not Acolytes.

[dusky kite]

No I mean I got it, but the existence of this interaction is a mystery to me. Is this a bug? Is this a feature? Who tf knows

[copper fable]

oh haha yeah, its a bit weird

[turbid crystal]

seems reasonable enough to me, cast aoe skill from self, hits self, give self buff

[dusky kite]

it's obviously a bug, it's the bm description

[old robin]

Oh you're right. It wasn't obvious to me since I didn't see their Passive.

[steel merlin]

ive seen a storm totem build using this totem to buff the storm totem to teh moon

[copper fable]

yeah thats the normal use caase

however the upheaval totems buff themselves which can get very silly

[faint cape]

No, in addition to the really S-tier buffs they give, they can also hit really hard in the right build. For example, I've seen them hit for over 10k on my vinebear (and they hit multiple times per cast).

[dusky kite]

I've seen many variations of this build but they usually boil down to manually using upheaval cause you can stack personal attack speed easier than totem attack speed

[barren sapphire]

Heya everyone, I made a loot filter on LastEpocTool, I imported it in game but I see that in the in game filter items have access to much more affixes than on LastEpocTool.
My question is: is it normal because LastEpocTool makes a prefilter with affixes that are unavailable on some items type ? or does it just miss some affixes ?
Thanks 🙂

[mortal silo]

whats the trick to make abomination consume other minions? i cant make it consume volatile zombie, so how its possible to consume 5 different minions?

[surreal verge]

Skeleton archer, skeleton warrior, skeleton mage, wraith,bone golem

[turbid crystal]

if a skill has 60% added dmg effectiveness, does that also mean that the added dmg from the skills passive tree also get applied at 60% or is it at full value that is listed?

[faint cape]

If you took the permanent abomination node, it can only consume skeletons and skeletal mages. To hit 5 different types, you then need 5 variants of those.

[balmy current]

Yes, any added damage is affected by the added damage effectiveness. Only base damage (which is exceptionally rare to get on a skill tree) isn't affected by it.

[latent wasp]

anyone not able to log in to servers?

[zealous orchid]

is there a skill in the game where it does DOT but when u kill one enemy it spreads to nearby ones?

[native sail]

Spirit Plague iirc

[native sail]

(You can make it more easily spread)

[zealous orchid]

is there a way to make that abiltiy spread to more then 1 target?

[native sail]

Yes

[quasi hatch]

Spreading Flames? (ailment instead of skill though)

[native sail]

You can also do this

[candid elm]

It has a bunch of passives that make it spread more.

[zealous orchid]

awww that sounds awesome

what class is this?

[blazing gull]

Acolyte

[candid elm]

Also

[zealous orchid]

ooo

[native sail]

Acolyte, best to use it on Lich

[candid elm]

And

Bunch of passives for spread

There's also a passive in Harvest for Spirit Plague

[solar bear]

Does anyone know the chances of them adding a character creator feature in the future I just can’t stand the look of the characters and idk if I should just get a refund or not

[native sail]

The chances of them are low and far off if they decide on it. They do not have the resources to do that right now.

[solar bear]

Should I get a refund you think ???

[native sail]

Is it really a deal breaker for you to not be able to make a character you'll likely never actually see?

[solar bear]

It’s not necessarily a deal breaker but I just don’t like annoying voice lines and female character sounds and I’m just coming off of d4 which had decent character creation and fantastic immersion but a few bad updates later I’m trying to find something to scratch that itch but there’s sadly not a lot of choices atm so basically can I cover her up to make it look nice and does she have a lot of voice lines ???

Sry for big paragraph 😬

[light roost]

Mute character lines then.

[solar bear]

Can I change her looks drastically with armor ???

[pastel pebble]

It covers her pretty well

[solar bear]

I’ll give it a shot for a day 👍

[lavish marsh]

Reached the point where i can pick a mastery, and it took a while to get here. Since you can't change masteries after picking, not sure what to start with. Either a necro or lich build. My question is if I pick necro, arre the minions strong enough in the end game, or am i better off picking lich?

[broken burrow]

Necro is super strong and easier

@lavish marsh

[trail dock]

yeah necro is super strong, definitely recommend

Lich has some really good builds too but really shines with some specific stuff

you cant go wrong with necro

[broken burrow]

@solar bear still here?

[grim stag]

should i go for exaulted weapons or items in the arena?

[faint cape]

Nah, only decent loot there is the exclusive uniques

[grim stag]

ok ty

[sterile bane]

how do u beat the exiled mage>?

[alpine mural]

Like any other enemy, if you are early in the campaign or got a particularly strong set of skills to face that the mage is using just run away from this one

Since they all have a random assortment of skills i cant really give better advice

[faint cape]

They do telegraph pretty well, but also they move around a lot so melee is likely pretty rough

[sterile bane]

yea im melee so i was struggling and i think my gear is bad for the mono im in

[hot carbon]

What’s wrong with female character voice acting

[tired turtle]

What’s wrong with female character
Fixed that for you 😛

[native sail]

Yeah the way they said all that is beyond just not liking voice acting....

Eugh

[hot carbon]

Yeah…

[split wren]

are the minions from forge strike and warpath scaled from your weapons hit damage?

[storm blaze]

Yes, their dmg is based on your weapon

And I suppose they also get minion bonuses

[split wren]

k thanks

[tawny osprey]

is there a target dummy or another way to test dmg?

[surreal verge]

Arena''s lobby has them

[tawny osprey]

where is arena lobby ?

[surreal verge]

Do you have an arena key?

[tawny osprey]

Yeah. Do I need to use one each time I test?

[surreal verge]

No, right clicking it shows you where it is.

[steel merlin]

right clicking sends you to the waypoint in the map?

oh god it even says so in description, im blind and have lost so much time searching for their waypoints 🤦‍♂️

[tawny osprey]

does + melee damage scale with applied ailments?

[surreal verge]

No?

[steel merlin]

do you mean the opposite, if applied ailments scale with melee damage?

[turbid crystal]

how high can you get glancing blow chance and does rogue have much in the way of reliable defense for a hc char

like if you take convert dodge > glancing blow chance, is it capped or can i get 100% chance to recieve a glancing blow?

[steel merlin]

you can get 100

[turbid crystal]

that's good to know ty

[turbid crystal]

my shadow cascade seems a little odd 🤔

[surreal verge]

My brother in chirst read shadow cascade again

[turbid crystal]

oh yeah it does say requires dual wielding lmao

wasn't expecting it to make me t-pose though

[surreal verge]

Yeah all skills t-pose like that instead of giving you an error if you don't meet the requirements

[dusky kite]

weird that this had been a widespread issue for months by now and they hadn't even tried to address it

[tall wolf]

When I learn void purifier, can I learn vorpal reverbertion to add fire damage??

[surreal verge]

Yes

[dusky kite]

it literally says so in the tooltip of void purifier

Note that this isn't the common behavior for conversions and typed damage nodes

Which is why it's listed explicitly

[tall wolf]

oh I'm not very good at English

[tidal mulch]

anyone still getting permanently stuck on loading echo when trying to go into specific monolith nodes?

and by specific i mean like 50% of them

[cedar locust]

Is this when trying to go directly to a Quest node after loading?

[jovial ermine]

Does Foe Cleaver also apply to the base damage of a weapon? E.G. A Bardiche's base 130 weapon damage becomes 260?

[tidal mulch]

it was just certain monolith of fate nodes, but after verifying integrity of files the issue is resolved

[cedar locust]

Excellent! Glad that helped!

[faint cape]

Yes

[jovial ermine]

Oh!

[wicked vapor]

whats the difference?

[lunar holly]

you haven't reached the bottom one so it's slightly dimmed

[wicked vapor]

ahh ok thanks

[tall wolf]

Everyone asked why when using Multistrike to stack Armament, the damage of Forge strike is increased after each stack, what is the connection between it?

[surreal verge]

Errrrrrrrrrrrrr?

[tall wolf]

oh I didn't pay attention to this passive

[spice sandal]

For the shared damage in lethal concentration it says “your poison damage modifiers also apply to your skeleton rogues.” Does that refer to generic increased damage over time or is it only increased poison damage specifically?

[spice sandal]

But it is ambiguous “increased damage over time” IS a poison damage modifier. It says “generic damage and poison damage are shared” so it would seem like generic damage over time would apply.

[surreal verge]

"increased damage over time" ISNT a poison damage modifier.
It's a DoT modifier.
They're refering to DAMAGE TYPES in this case.

Like fire, elemental, cold, void.

[spice sandal]

Poison damage isn’t modified by damage over time?

[surreal verge]

If there's a way to make a skill(melee,spell) gain the posion tag without the damage over time tag, it won't be modified by damage over time.

(There exists a single case:Reap converted to poison)

[faint cape]

All poison damage is damage over time and will be scaled by DOT modifiers, but yeah the spear doesn't touch DOT, only poison damage exactly as it shows on your character sheet.

I actually found a case that might be a poison hit, but haven't bothered looking into it yet (life drain's explosion).

[haughty arrow]

i thought that legendary items can only be crafted. but i found these:

can legendaries be found after all?

[balmy current]

I think Reap-converted-to-poison is the exception to that rule. But yes, all other instances of Poison are also DoTs.

[balmy current]

No because that's a Weaver's Will item, not a legendary.

[haughty arrow]

but it says legendary and it doesnt say weavers will?

[balmy current]

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

[turbid crystal]

it inittialy comes with weavers will on it, killing mobs makes it consume the weavers will into affix tiers, once that has been done they change to look like that

[balmy current]

It was a Weaver's Will item when it dropped

[haughty arrow]

oh wow, never thought of that

thx!

[faint cape]

Hm? It doesn't really convert, though, does it?

[clever geyser]

I need help

How am I supposed to get to the quest marker location???

[granite shadow]

Sup, does anybody got the same issue with old chars? I went to respec some of my passives (not skill passives. I am talking about class passives - P key -) and undo 2 of 'em, then poof and i dont have any unspent points.
Back in the days (this char is lvl 100 for like half a year or so, when the multiplayer patch kicked in) i finished all campaign quests, and now when i press M and look at the Passive Points Rewards boom 12/15. And no quests. The only thing i found was that strange thing on the screenshot, but u just can't reach there.

Any ideas?: D
Yeah, i used to have all 113 passives

[dense crest]

I assume % increased elemental damage affixes do not affect minions? E.g. % increased lightning damage won't increase storm crow damage?

[carmine coyote]

It needs to have the conditional "minion" and corresponding damage type to affect them

%minion spell damage will affect while %spell damage won't

[carmine coyote]

Theres several reworked quests that give points now as well, you can try do them

[granite shadow]

Hmm, okay, thank you, i will check

[dim garnet]

hows the new rune class

[dense root]

it’s fun

very strong defenses

[green spindle]

Ward… I mean word!

[warm scarab]

Does the x% increased damage from Merophage also count for Dots ?

[native sail]

As long as it is generic it affects DoTs. Items are all stat sticks in this game.

[tawny osprey]

does % increased melee damage increase ailments from melee hits?

[native sail]

No

[sterile bane]

@cold plaza can i DM you?

[warm scarab]

Are skeletal mages bugged atm ? I enabled the frost & fire mages but he only cast the normal one...

[steel drum]

I had this same issue, just with cold mages. Once I restricted to just cold, I got cold. I thought it might be bugged too

[cold plaza]

re: youtube link?

[sterile bane]

it was the newest one

the laddle

[warm scarab]

To bad...I wanned to play abomination, but if I can't summon different mages the bonus damage is going to hell 😄

Other question, can set items drop with LP ?

[buoyant sinew]

no

[dusky kite]

the crow tree has a node that makes the crow scale with your personal lightning damage, but as a rule no

[faint cape]

Right, no conversion then

[surreal verge]

But it becomes a Melee poison

Which DOESNT have a DoT tag.

[tall wolf]

Can anyone explain what the maximum skill level is and how many levels it takes to increase a minimum?

[sterile widget]

Natural max is 20 (can go higher with items)

Skills gain xp independently of your character level

The minimum skill level increases with character level

I don't have the numbers in front of me... check in game guide (press G in game)

I think usually I reach skill level 20 about character level 60-70

[lunar holly]

you reach minimum skill level 10 at character level 80, it's around 1 level every 10 character levels but it's faster for the first few
and yeah, if you didn't respec much your skills will be all level 20 when you reach level 76

[tall wolf]

Tks

[dense crest]

I can't figure out how to proceed the quest line? I'm supposed to travel west to Thetima but I can't find any way to progress west from The Risen Lake. I have two exits, one to the Felled Wood and another to The Soul Warden's Road :/?

Anyone know what I'm missing?

[surreal verge]

At the portal of felled wood, you can go up a bit and hard left, which then leads you to up after a bridge and then left or right, go left.

[dense crest]

Okay, I'll go explore around there, thanks 😅

[surreal verge]

Yeah there's enough exits that it KINDA confuses first timers

[dense crest]

Got it, thanks 🙂

[safe frost]

So guys, I'm for the first time playing the late endgame, and I have a question about exalts. Exalts are dropping like crazy, but since I do not know much about all possible builds the game can have, I'm facing a little problem of selecting Wich exalts to keep. Tried some googling on that but everything is outdated, only found one recent video guide but found it to be too long and confusing. Can some give some rules of thumb, and general directions about this? Or maybe linking some good guide to that? Thanks!

[broken burrow]

Keep exalts...... YES@safe frost

i have 48 stash tabs

when you get to crafting you will understand

Keep exalted +skill increased hp hybrid hp movement. Keep exalted flat dmg flat crit crit multi. Usually be okay. Also when in doubt keep them all you can always toss stuff later but you can never get the items you didn't hoard back

[dawn otter]

Do you need to be equipping the cuckoo for it to transform to an exalted?

[surreal verge]

Yes

[potent rapids]

Used to be that some of the More Damage skill bonuses to Hungering Souls (like from having exactly 3 minions) would also boost the damage for dots/ailments it applied. Is that still a thing?

[surreal verge]

Depends on wording, if it doesn't say "hit" it does.

(Good luck keeping that trap of a passive node up without actual minion skills)

[potent rapids]

"Souls deal more damage.... (condition)" is the wording

[surreal verge]

Then only the souls I think

[safe frost]

Thanks Shoe and Gnasher!

[summer umbra]

Are resonance drops already are thing or just coming in future?

[broken burrow]

not yet

[summer umbra]

ty

[faint cape]

Tagswise yeah, but it still does the same non-poison hit damage and the poisons still scale with DOT modifiers

Which is typical. Serpent Strike is exactly the same

[surreal verge]

But the reap hit itself doesn't scale by DoT affixes, which is what I was getting at

[faint cape]

Yeah, but it's not poison damage, so it doesn't break the "all poison is DOT" rule. I had to refresh my memory on what we were even talking about, lol, been a long day.

[surreal verge]

Wait really? I thought that causes reap to DO poison damage if adaptive damage is added.

[alpine mural]

theres no item that modifies dark quiver right?

[surreal verge]

No don't think so.

[faint cape]

No, it doesn't have any damage conversion associated, it just adds the tag so it counts as a poison skill, same as serpent strike

[faint cape]

There's like +arrow idols, but I don't think that's what you are looking for

[surreal verge]

[tired turtle]

Just hate that oickup mechanic...is there a unique or node or anything that makes it pick the arrows automatically? or just give the buff?

[buoyant sinew]

unfortunately the skill is just kinda unusable until they rework it

[alpine mural]

nope

[cosmic oyster]

I like the concept of the pick-up mechanic. I'd rather not see it completely go away, becuase it does make the skill more interesting than just "buff yourself". But identifying how to make that feel good may still need work.

For the Runemaster, is there a difference between "Plasma Blast" (Lightning-Fire) and "Aergon's Plasma Arc" (Lightning-Lightning-Fire) other than simply the latter one chains to multiple enemies?

[faint cape]

Agreed, it's a neat mechanic. I feel like there needs to be way fewer of them, and each needs to feel really impactful, but aside from that I have no clue, lol.

[faint cape]

I don't believe so, no.

[candid elm]

Would someone please remind me if just Swords and Daggers can be wielded in the off hand for certain classes? Going through and organizing some uniques and I thought I'd keep 2x of those if that's the case.

[faint cape]

Actually, plasma arc literally triggers plasma blast apparently

[faint cape]

Axes also for primalist

[candid elm]

Thanks, I've been keeping 2x of axes as well. Was just keeping 1x maces.

[faint cape]

Then you are good to go. I'll caveat that there's always the possibility they change what can be dual wielded, but I don't think that's a huge concern.

[candid elm]

True, but I'll likely never use most of these anyway. Just kind of fun to make a little collection just in case.

[blazing gull]

What's the best way to get t7 experimental affixes, just murder mages at high corruption?

[candid elm]

They also need to fix Glyph of Insights so we can see how those work. Edit: these were fixed a few days ago and you can get them now.

[faint cape]

Basically, yes. Mainly just the highest corruption you can still run fast.

[faint cape]

They are obtainable now, are they broken in usage, too?

[candid elm]

Apologies, looks like it was fixed this week. https://old.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/16hzz0w/glyphs_of_insight_rarity/k0jm2u7/

[faint cape]

Ahh okay, I was about to say, dang they were just megabroken lol

[blazing gull]

Dang, need the gloves with armour DoT mitigation

[faint cape]

Are you dying to DOTs a lot? The effect definitely helps, but usually cleanse is more important

[blazing gull]

No, but I'm just stacking defenses because my offense is free

[candid elm]

there's also Oracle Amulets, up to 20% less DoT taken

[blazing gull]

And I'm at reasonable armour cap (82%)

Can't use that, using the spriggan amulet for rage gen

Basically the t7 roll would be around 22-24 less dot taken for me

[faint cape]

Ah yeah, 17% generic DOT mitigation would be pretty nice then

[blazing gull]

Yeah, as I have a bunch of layers anyway and healing

[faint cape]

(Armor does still have 70% effect against non-phys DOTs)

[blazing gull]

It's just DoTs to fear now

Once that's out of the way, it's scaling cast speed

[molten hull]

is there a list of every bugged ability?

like

shuriken shield doesnt work

and last time i remember

shield charged acted weird

[knotty hinge]

Press S.

[molten hull]

what

is this a joke of "haha every skill is bugged".

no i mean like

the unusable ones

[knotty hinge]

Yes, pretty much trying to hint that many likely have some sort of bug. I don’t know of compiled list, sorry.

[molten hull]

thank you anyways

[sly fable]

Anybody know anything about the launch bug? When I try to launch the game I get a LE error popup that disappears after like 0.5 seconds and then the game doesn't launch

verifying integrity does nothing and a full reinstall works intermittently. Any news on this one that y'all are aware of?

[surreal verge]

Except the universal traversal bug that happens when you ping spike,shield charge is mostly fine

[molten hull]

neat

[celest folio]

Eyyyy where do i ask about controller support without getting balled up paper thrown at me

Im having issues >.>

[sterile widget]

Plenty of folks about who are playing on controller

Just ask away 🙂

(To qualify, I'm not one of them, but they are here :D)

[hot carbon]

wtf are you doing here

[wet seal]

If you use an item with cold melee damage, does the normal melee damage increase?

I want to use werebear form, how do I do the cold conversion?

[violet mortar]

hey is the game maybe not well optimized?

i'm noticing some random fps drops when i'm hovering over items on the ground for example

[native sail]

It is not. It's getting better over time but not quite there yet.

[surreal verge]

ANy flat number increases apply to all skills of the type. flat X melee damage no matter the type will apply on melee skills

[cedar locust]

Sounds like the Unity crash issue - this thread might help! https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1149711332090851418

Our team is looking into this and think it might be related to a corrupted display driver, so a clean install of your GFX Drivers might also help!

[cedar locust]

What would you like to know? 😊

[safe frost]

Hey guys, got to empowered the first time, and I was wondering, by playing empowered I can unlock the closed monoliths? Like when I cleared the first island I choose the lvl 68 one, now I can unlock the lvl 62 one in empowered, or I have to play normal to unlock them?

[dusky kite]

yes, when you unlock empowered you get all the waypoints too so you don't need to regrind the linear paths

[blazing gull]

Any recommendations for relics on a reflect druid?

I'm leaning towards a valkirs chalice, anchor or pray for a decently rolled lost Primalist relic

[tawny osprey]

how does block effectiveness reduce dmg? with a block chance of 100 and effectiveness of 2000, how much phys dmg would this reduce?

[vague cloak]

I accidently pressed hide quests in map and now i cant turn it back on?

[brave ibex]

Depends on the area level, check here https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/block
And it affects all hit damage, not just physical

[candid elm]

If you want details on the formula https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/block

[candid elm]

I'm not in front of LE to check, but if you open up the world map, is there an option in there? Or maybe in the game settings?

[vague cloak]

Tried but cant find it. Maybe i just need to restart game

[tawny osprey]

does block reduce dmg evenly across the board (fire, lightning, cold and so on)?

[brave ibex]

Yeah

[tawny osprey]

so how much block effectiveness (and 100% block) would be good for taking on the hardest bosses, without any armor?

[dense root]

there are like 10 other defensive layers that could matter here

but also bosses are more about not getting hit than about tanking hits

[copper fable]

well you want armor too. Block effect/armor/dodge all have diminishing returns. 1.5k block effect vs 2k block effect isnt so different for example.

[dense root]

a pretty substantial amount of boss attacks will kill you in one hit unless you have truly staggering defenses

[copper fable]

so you cant just ignore armor and stack block effect, you will actually end up taking a lot more damage overall

[tawny osprey]

3,1k block effect gives 60% dmg reduction, so with the 75% res. this would then become 90% damage reduction.... is that not enough to survive boss hitts?

[copper fable]

75% res just makes you take neutral damage

enemies penetrate resistance = to area level, capping at 75%

[tawny osprey]

how high % reduced damage would you need?

[dense root]

you just aren't meant to get hit by bosses

they all hit very hard

[copper fable]

it really depends on many factors some bosses you can stand in their attacks, abomination ive never had a problem getting hit by him. But you cant eat a slam from the lightless arbor boss

you just die

[surreal verge]

Dodge or die, unless you build a build specifically to not die, you WILL die.

[tawny osprey]

you take me for a fool, but still have not helped me with the question 😉

[dense root]

i mean your question may as well be "how can i start a fire with this glass of water"

i'm not answering because there really isn't a good answer

[surreal verge]

Area level dependant, if the question was block effectiveness.

[copper fable]

lets just say your question starts in the wrong area. Block effect for example you gave 3k gives 60% reduced damage taken

well rebuke reduces damage by a baseline 80% by default

[dense root]

there is no amount of block effectiveness that will let you single handedly tank "the hardest bosses"

[surreal verge]

LE is a game about stacking defense layers, not just using 1.

[copper fable]

if your goal is to take every hit, look into a rebuke build not a block stacking build(you can do both).

But you will eventually hit a wall where you cant get hit by certain mechanics.

it really also depends on scope, is your goal to tank high corruption bosses? or t4 dungeon bosses? this changes the question

[tawny osprey]

yeah, i get what you all are saying. bosses do heavy amounts of damage. deffensives gives deminishing returns. different defensives are good. but how much %reduced damage do you need to survive any hit in the game?

[surreal verge]

Impossible in theory.

[copper fable]

100%, basically so not possible

like I said, rebuke bulds probably have close to like 97% damage reduction

and can still die

[dense root]

orobyss damage scales infinitely high yeah

since corruption goes forever

[surreal verge]

because we ALSO have a endless damage scaling.

[pastel pebble]

Buff Rebuke please

[dense root]

you would need 100% dr which isn't obtainable

[surreal verge]

(YOu gotta give a resonable target because of that)

[tawny osprey]

with 3,1k block, 75% resistance and rebuke active. this would result in a 98% damage reduction...

[copper fable]

resistances dont reduce damage

[pastel pebble]

That 2% is infinite

[dense root]

resistances don't count yeah

[pastel pebble]

It is an endless stream of violence

[copper fable]

atleast not in the way you think

[surreal verge]

At area level 100, YOur resistances are 0, or lower into negatives if not capped.

[copper fable]

Resistances work against a penalty, if you have 0% resistances you are taking 1.75x damage

if you have 75 or more, you are taking 1x damage

or neutral

rebuke + 60% block effect and 100% block chance is 92% damage reduction

you can get it higher if its elemental etc, thanks to some rebuke passives. but the hardest boss in the game literally does infinite damage so you wont be able to tank it unfortunately

[tawny osprey]

without the 75% resistance, yeah

[copper fable]

do you not understand how resistances work?

[tawny osprey]

i do, i was just stating that the number i previously mentioned was different because of my lack off knowlage

[faint cape]

Nothing in this game deals infinite damage, but you are definitely not intended to tank certain things.

[dense root]

no but the damage scaling does go effectively forever with corruption

no matter how tanky you make yourself there will eventually be something that hits too hard for you

[copper fable]

yeah thats why scope of question matters and just "the toughest boss" well does that mean a 20k corruption boss?

you cant take it, 0 shot

if we are talking about fixed difficulty bosses, then its fairly easy to tank julra just rebuke alone kinda does it

[faint cape]

I mean, no matter how much corruption you stack, it will deal finite damage

[dense root]

yes but the damage scaling from corruption will eventually be high enough that nothing short of 100% dr will let you survive

[unreal hinge]

What about 99.9999 though

[faint cape]

Yeah, you'll reach a soft cap. I'm just being pedantic because someone said literal infinite damage.

[tired turtle]

Well....wouldn't be too surprised if some boss attacks at some point don't even calculate any damage at all but just say "if hit player, player = dead" 😄

[wind mural]

Does "Defile Defenses" in the bone curse tree apply armour shred everytime bone curse gets activated (like when something else hits the affected target) or does it just apply once when bone curse is first applied?

[candid elm]

It must be on hit. I tried just spamming Bone Curse on a random enemy repeatedly, and not attacking, and never saw Armor Shred show up. But I did see Crippling Anguish stack - slow debuff - when just spamming Bone Curse. Casting Bone Curse and then attacking the enemy, I saw Armor Shred stack. Character did not have Armor Shred chance on an item.

I'm guessing it's because Crippling Anguish says "Bone Curse slows enemies within its area of effect" and Defile Defenses says "Bone Curse has a chance to reduce enemy armor". The later must be adding a % chance for Armor Shred to the physical damage when hit part of Bone Curse.

[wind mural]

Oh awesome, thanks for checking that out for me I appreciate it a bunch!

[balmy current]

That'd be because Bone Curse doesn't actually do anything unless you hit the cursed target (with the exception of the Bone Eruption node).

[acoustic thicket]

Which is better to invest my points into for a rogue poison build, Amatoxic Pools or Knowledge of Immunity?

[celest folio]

Ah cool thanks!

Well I load it up and i get the mouse cursor and the controller cursor, but i cant select anything with the controller cursor. In game my skills work but i cant interact with stuff.

I have an xbox pro 2 controller and am using official gamepad steam support. I tried turning off the support but it just made things worse lol

I tried turning off my mouse and it still is like "nah you got a mouse bro just use that"

[mortal silo]

whats wrong with the servers now? i could play 3 hours ago, but now the servers dont connect. No messages on steam, or even in Discord?

[molten hull]

wdym wtf i am doing here.

I literally play this game , i payed almost full price for this, of the very limited money i have.

[hot carbon]

yeah but
i didn’t expect to see you here

anyways if you have any questions you should ask @native sail

also i would say most of us paid full price, yeah. it’s only gone on sale a few times over three years

[molten hull]

no like.

you know that steam charges differently deppending on what country you from?

i payed arround 80000 colombian peso , which is like 17 dollars.

because you know. i am colombian

[hot carbon]

uh… yeah, i get how regional pricing works

i paid $35

[molten hull]

neat

i didnt thought it had a name

[hot carbon]

okay

[dawn otter]

Is it just me or has the shift + shuriken blade armor stopped working completely? I took the node which throws shuriken after shift and blade armor which rotates the shuriken around me. It works on the first cast but after that, every shift I do, there's no more shurikens. Checked my armor and it's not increasing so it's not just a visual bug

[sinful laurel]

not just you

[dawn otter]

Aright, thanks

[sterile widget]

EHG is renaming the skill to Shuri-cants

(Hopefully is next hotfix)

[dawn otter]

Which server do you think is the most stable? Thinking of buying a VPN for it. Can't play the game with a bowmage flurry + multishot procc build. I think there's too much projectiles on the screen and the game can't keep up with everything's that's happening. I have to wait like 5 seconds after the objectives are done so the game can do its animation for me to portal out

[vagrant condor]

i got the tears of the forest necklace. isnt it supposed to be leveling up as i kill stuff? its been at legendary 1 for 20m lol

[carmine coyote]

Thats not a weavers will item

You can forge an exalted item into it by completing the temporal sanctum dungeon, taking a set number of affixes based on the potential

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

[radiant dust]

how does "next spell cast" interact with disintegrate?

[naive sable]

what is channel skill sirs?

[surreal verge]

Channeled skills are skills that you have to hold the button down to use, and also standing in one place.

[naive sable]

no more special ?

[surreal verge]

You have to stand still and can't regen mana, I think that's special enough.

[fervent quiver]

It doesn't, unfortunately. Even though they don't always say so, "next spell" effects usually only work on non-channeled spells (for balance reasons).

[knotty tinsel]

for balance reasons

translation: to keep channelled skills dead in the dirt where they belong apparently

[safe frost]

Hey guys, me again with my quest to be less noob 😂 The thing is I'm playing a crit build, and I got to 100% crit some time ago, and then I started stacking crit multi. I was wondering, what is the usual value of this for late endgame content? Right now I have 395% crit multi. And I was farming black sun trying to get the crit multi blessing, but just so happens that after 3 tries I did not found this blessing, instead I managed an almost perfect roll for the life blessing (rolled a +58 hp), so now I'm on the fence. Do I keep farming for ~32 crit multi, or the flat life is more valuable?

[naive sable]

Thanks

And has limit of crit multi? , i alway see 300%

[surreal verge]

No?

[fervent quiver]

Eh, Idk. Yes, most channeled skills are not in a great spot right now, but I don't think removing that limitation would fix things. Those passives were designed to have high numbers but only apply to a limited amount of skills, and channeled skills circumventing that restriction would just lead to those passives having to be nerfed and then being not good enough to use with non-channeled skills any more.

[fervent quiver]

That is a thing you'll have to decide for yourself. If you are at 400% crit multi, getting another 32 would translate into ~8% more damage. I don't know your character so can't say how the life compares to that, but the question is, do you want more offense or more defense?

[safe frost]

Yeah, I was thinking about that, I guess I'll keep the life, because now defense is more important, if I start to fall short of damage I'll do the grind again. But in general, 400% multi is high or no?

[fervent quiver]

Yes, 400-500% is a good spot to be at usually.

[cedar locust]

Would you mind reporting this through the IGBR Tool if you haven't already?

The best thing to do would be to use the skill, and send the bug report after it fails with a description of which nodes aren't working as they should and whether this is online or offline mode 😊

[latent canyon]

Channelled flamerush be like

Imagine having to standstill

Also warpath hello

[knotty tinsel]

things that make channeled skills suck (for me)

• mana is usually restrictive
• you have to stand still for your damage
• some cool interactions are gated behind "non-channeled"

things that warpath does

• cost no mana with 3 skill points
• you move constantly
• it deals attacks which has its own combo opportunities that usually aren't forbidden for channels

so yeah, warpath gets thumbs up from me

I also think flame rush is a cool ability, but can't speak for if it's good because I haven't played with it much/at all.

[dusky kite]

same as most skills in le, bad by itself, good with a few busted interactions

[celest folio]

This is still plaguing me 😦

I havent played in forever and wanted to mess around with all the changes to VK

[wide sentinel]

Lol there werent aby good changes to vk, only nerfs in past couple of patches

But overall its pretty much the same

[jade jetty]

hello, is it possible to play the game with friends ? last time I played it was not possible

[lunar holly]

yes, they added multiplayer in March

[sonic falcon]

You can't break down uniques for crafting materials?

[candid elm]

Correct

[sonic falcon]

Is it just only uniques?

[candid elm]

Uniques - orange - and Set items - green. Otherwise, yes, you can use Shatter and Removal on Magic - Blue, Rare - Yellow, and Exalted - Purple.

There's also new items in 0.9.2 with Experimental affixes. The items have kind of a yellow/blue slash on them. You can still Shatter and Removal on those, but the Experimental affix shard is not gained. Those have separate Research Runes and Insight Glyphs.

[candid elm]

For crafting on uniques, you can find ones with Legendary Potential. With those with LP, you can run Temporal Sanctum dungeon and smash an Exalted item into the LP Unique at the end of the dungeon. That will destroy the Exalted item and randomly select up to the LP # of affixes from the Exalted item to add onto the Unique. 1 LP is one of the four affixes randomly selected to be added. Up to 4 LP adding all 4 affixes. The Exalted item used must have 4 affixes. Sealed affix is not used or counted.

And there's another special type of Unique that has Weaver's Will on it. These automatically level up as you use them and can increase in strength or add random affixes to the item.

[sonic falcon]

Thanks a lot. Good information. Still learning this awesome game.

[candid elm]

You're welcome!

[faint cape]

You can shatter white items, too. For science.

[candid elm]

insert a "you get nothing" gif here

[faint cape]

Just sweet satisfaction

[jade jetty]

Is the game translated into French ?

[faint cape]

Yes. I can't vouch for how well it is translated, haven't seen much talk about the French localization one way or the other.

[dense root]

the other languages are translated poorly so i assume french is too

on the other hand l'academie has had it too good for too long so any opportunity to mess with them is one we should take so maybe this is fine

[candid elm]

Any info on what this update was? Just popped up.

[pastel pebble]

Posted in #news

[brave ibex]

Is there any way I'm missing to prevent heal effects? E.g. Warcry heal, health on kill. I know you can prevent leech and regen, but not seeing anything for heals

[safe harness]

Don’t think so, why do you ask?

[brave ibex]

Trying to play a low life Primalist but I need to travel through nodes that give me health on kill or healing

[small quiver]

hi everyone! multiplayer has issue, when was long loading screen?

[safe harness]

I think the heals are low enough not to take you out of low life range

[brave ibex]

It's mostly this

Heals for way too much

[faint cape]

Nope, and it's not even healing. You just can't use that node in your build unless we get a reverse effect (like lose health on kill).

Or some other way to rapidly redrain your health.

[brave ibex]

I wish they'd just give us something like petrified blood

Oh well

[faint cape]

I think that's unlikely, since we already have the skill that probably inspired it, death seal.

[brave ibex]

I don't see why death seal existing means other classes can't get LL support

[tawny osprey]

the flat endurance stat, is this the endurance threshold based on flat life?
so with 60% and 500 flat, does this mean you get 60%dmg reduction when at 20% maxlife + 500?

[buoyant sinew]

correct

[tawny osprey]

thx ^^

second question, XD is endurance considdered a good defensive stat?

[buoyant sinew]

% endurance is very good, super efficient way to increase your EHP. flat endurance threshold affixes on the other hand are super inefficient, though other sources of endurance threshold can be good

[tawny osprey]

how come? is the flat stat just too low? so for EHP its better to stack hp?

[buoyant sinew]

exactly

[tawny osprey]

but could it be good in combo with MOM effect?

[buoyant sinew]

that was true until the latest patch. MoM and stacking flat endurance was a very tanky build. but they just "fixed" it so that endurance no longer reduces damage taken by your mana

since it's meant to only apply to your health

[tawny osprey]

well okey, then i understand

[faint cape]

And just for an important distinction, it does not give you DR when you are below a certain health value, it gives DR to your health at/below your threshold. It is "always on", so it applies to all of that health even if you take a big hit from full health, for example.

[fervent quiver]

But on the other hand, it doesn't prevent damage dealt to your ward while youre below endurance treshold for example. With the mom thing fixed, you can't "cheat" endurance in any way any more.

[small quiver]

hi everyone! is there issue with long loading screen in multiplayer?

[wintry crystal]

Hey all, what do you think about last epoch running on a GTX 560m GPU with an i7 4 cores 8 threads and 16g of DDR3 Ram gaming lap top ? SSDs of course for OS and games

[minor vigil]

that is an extremely weak video card, well below the minimum specs on last epoch's store page

[wet seal]

What is the difference between Traversal and Movement?

[native sail]

All traversal are movement, not all movement are traversal. IIRC all traversal skills get put on cooldown if you use one, whereas that doesn't happen with movement

[faint cape]

There is at least one skill that's bugged where it gets traversal, but not movement, I think

[safe frost]

Hey guys, so I'm doing some blessing farm (or trying to) but I discovered that 200c gives you 5 choices instead of 4. All very nice, but the thing is I can stand so far rougly 130c (I'm still on the first runs of empowered). So the thing is, if 200c is obvously better to blessing farm, but if I can't do 200c, what would be the way to go? Mono drops and xp seem better than anything, so what should I do? Keep farming 130 (maybe 150 if I can)? What else there is? Area doesn't seem to give me that much drops, and I'm still trying to beat lvl 100 arena, dungeons I Haven't tried much besides t3 soulfire bastion (have not tried t4 yet, neither the other dungeons), thanks in advance! May the rng gods bless you all

[faint cape]

What is the wall that you are hitting with your build? Farming for blessings at 100-199c is still totally fine, I usually get all my grand blessings before I reach 200c anyway, and many of them do open up your gear options a lot (like the ones that fill out defenses) and that lets you get stronger as well.

But if the wall is like, you need X partidular unique, I'd recommend going for that if you can

[safe frost]

Honestly I haven't hit a wall yet, it's my first time in empowered so i'm a bit cautious. I was preparing for hitting the wall. But I got it, maybe this is not even a problem, I should just keep doing what I can, until I can't and in this way I might get the drops I need to reach 200, right? ok... now I feel silly lol. But hey, thanks anyway. But about uniques I don't know yet, I'm trying to push as far as I can with my knowledge of the game (that is very low) but I guess at some point I will need some uniques, but that's another subject to another time lol. Thanks again!

[faint cape]

No problem, sounds like you're on the right track. Happy grinding!

[safe harness]

A lot of the difficulty comes with the echo modifiers

[faint cape]

Oh yeah, definitely a good tip for managing difficulty while you do the stuff

If you put enrage on a boss, or just stack the wrong ones in general, it gets rough

[viral fable]

why does "increase stun %"' seem so much better than just "increase mellee stun %"

the % for just mellee stun chances seems less overall as well

[eternal mist]

i read on another discord comment that having reduced damage from crits to 100 percent will always mitigate all crits no matter the enemy multiplier, but if over 100 percent will it decrease the damage further or should you stop at 100 percent? im assuming you stop but just wanna double check before gearing fully

[native sail]

It doesn't do anything past 100%

It's less bonus damage taken from crits, not just less damage taken from crits, so it only mitigates the multiplier and nothing else of the hit

[eternal mist]

ah that makes sense thats how i figured it work but couldnt tell why 100 percent til your second comment ty

[native sail]

No prob

[wintry crystal]

Yeah had a feeling it may be. It plays torchlight really well though but that’s no comparison to LE

Looking For class suggestions..

I like any type of style or damage type, but looking for something fast-moving with dashes and slashes etc

Ideas? 🙂

[surreal verge]

Rogue, bladedancer

[turbid lark]

With dots, for example...

Poison.
I have chance to apply poison on melee hits. Where does this poison damage over time apply it's damage from? My weapon base damage?

[wintry crystal]

Yeah I started a RBD today and loving levelling it

[turbid lark]

A rogue blade dancer?

I am level 4 on hardcore. Using a spear, it's very fun lol

[surreal verge]

All ailments have their own base damage, then buffed by their own damage type %s.
(In poison's case, Poison damage and DoT affixes)

[turbid lark]

So if I just have 'chance to poison on hit' on my spear, with +80% poison damage... where does the game get the base poison damage from? I'm confused as to how it calculates the base

[fervent quiver]

Adding to that, you can find the numbers on https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ailments

[fervent quiver]

the base isnt calculated, its fixed

one stack of poison always has a base damage of 28

[turbid lark]

Oo ok thanks

[fervent quiver]

because of that, slow, hard-hitting skills usually arent great for applying ailments, you generally want to apply as many stacks as possible

[ebon marlin]

is it possible to set up a loot filter rule to catch specifically items with an exalted mod and an experimental mod?

because if it is possible I'm too smoothbrained to see how lol

[faint cape]

Yeah, use two conditions in the rule: rarity exalted and including any experimental affixes.

If you want to narrow down to good exalted affixes only, it becomes more annoying, but doable with like 2 rules maybe.

[lunar holly]

this only targets the item if the experimental affix is T6+

[faint cape]

No it doesn't.

[faint cape]

That's if you set it to experomental affixes T6+

[ebon marlin]

ahhh exalted is a rarity, got it.

[lunar holly]

ha, lastepochtools is wrong then

nvm

it works ingame
