[bronze ocean]

Indeed, there's a bug somewhere. I'll take a look.
For some reason this affects only experimental affixes which is strange :/

[wintry crystal]

Yeah nice, I’m using twin daggers and I think I was at level 10 when I got off

[tawny osprey]

is it supposed to be like this?

[icy drift]

Numeromancy is a buff given by the Abacus rod unique wand. I don't know why the judicator is on there, otherwise the spell damage and cast speed seem correct

[tawny osprey]

well i equipped judicator and i got this as one of the equipped buffs XD

[bronze ocean]

It's was a bug. It's fixed now.

[warm scarab]

Does shield count as weapon ?

[cedar locust]

I think Shields are Shields - I can't see any that do damage themselves, only improve the damage you do or improve you health/resistance/defense stats

[celest folio]

Yeah ive just been trying to make friends

My only problem is my personality, looks, mannerisms, way of speaking, and body language that turns everyone off

[faint cape]

No. Offhand items are not weapons. (Shields, quivers, and calaysts)

[tawny osprey]

it the bone dragon boss, supposed to be moved around like a curlingball?

[cedar locust]

Ahhh yes, they say combat is a dance though sometimes that's taken too literally!

This is a known issue the team is working on, it affects a few mobs in game though it's more noticeable on the absolutely massive dragon corpse 😄

[mortal flicker]

is there a way around these blocks in soulfire bastion at all? I had a time lost mage spawn behind the blockade and couldn't figure out how to get to it after exploring the whole map

[fervent quiver]

Nope, can't get there. Same happens with caches sometimes in dungeons, they just currently spawn in unreachable spots.

[dusky kite]

A few traversal abilities are bugged and do in fact allow you to circumvent dungeon walls, but this behavior is clearly not intended.

[pastel pebble]

Leave Void Cleave alone

[dense root]

nerf void cleave

it should only have 10% added damage effectiveness

[pastel pebble]

PLEASE

[bronze ocean]

FYI: This issue is fixed. Rarity condition check was invalid for experimental / personal items when generating simulation preview.

[copper fable]

HEY dont give away our strats MAN

[winter dirge]

is it known when the game will be released?

[sterile bane]

are there any mastery that use attunement and inteligtence and are the same?

[sterile bane]

is the vessel of chaos echo hard?

[wind mural]

(3/3 on attempts to do temporal sanctum, getting stuck on a loading screen each time as I try to go to the next zone :/ does any one know of a fix? can't keep spending keys like this since I have to logout each time >.<
Saw the post in news that they're working on a patch to fix it^^ but if anyone has any temporary possible fixes that'd still be great

[safe frost]

So guys just curious, at 1.0 will you join trade or drop faction? (Don't remember the exact names)

[sterile widget]

At least one character in each 🙂

#standardcyclelife

[fervent quiver]

end of this year

[fervent quiver]

Not very. It spawns monsters infinitely until you kill it, so you need to make sure not to get overwhelmed, but thats all

[fervent quiver]

hell yeah, I'm so glad theyre not planning on doing cycle exclusive content

[fervent quiver]

Definitely the "more loot" faction. I've been super hyped for it ever since faction reveal. I dislike player-driven economies in games and always wanted something like this 😄

[fervent plover]

does runebolt tri-elemental count as the same element with efficient experiment, or is efficient experiment useless once u procc tri-element

[tawny osprey]

tri elem devides the dmg by 3, so 30fire 30cold 30lightning. so increasing fir dmg will only bump up the fire dmg portion.
if i understood u correctly...

[fervent plover]

huh? i was talking about this node :)

[tawny osprey]

ahh, no, you dont get bonus cast since the elem is all 3 every time

[native sail]

Well they are but it seems like it's more "a select few items" than mechanics

[faint cape]

No. The only skills that scale with both come from items.

[sterile bane]

any good on stream last night?

[cunning sleet]

hello, anyone know if DoT damage can crit?

[native sail]

It cannot

[cunning sleet]

okay thank you!

[native sail]

No prob

[pure pier]

hey guys quick question - can I easily respec or do I lose progress with all the spells? Been doing a build, currently level 40 but I want to pivot to a different build, am I scrwed?

[hot carbon]

lvl 40 is the best time. it’s only going to get harder the farther you go

[pure pier]

but i'll lose progress I guess?

[hot carbon]

not really? you just need to get more experience

[native sail]

Nah it's super easy. You'll catch back up in minutes.

And contrary to what my inexperienced roommate has told you, it only gets easier to swap

[broken burrow]

super easy to respec at any levvel

[jaunty shadow]

Hi there I just started the game and at level 8 I have already bought 2 stash slots because of the huge amount of loot I get. I tried selling it but it also has become a chore to travel every 5 minutes back to the town to store or sell items. The game hasn’t tell me how to manage this excess of equipment and I don’t know what to do about it, I just feel I’m doing something wrong. What should I do? Regarding the campaign I’m just at the point where one keeper gets kidnapped by a general.

[dense root]

you're supposed to pick up fewer things

gear doesn't sell for very much specifically to make it not an effective use of time to travel back and forth a ton

since as you noted it's no fun

[jaunty shadow]

Oh ok, I didn’t know about that because I’m building my character as I go and I wasn’t sure what to pick or leave.

[surreal verge]

Wait till he finds out about exalteds

But yeah, don't pick up what you don't need, they sell for close to nothing.

[dense root]

tbh early on you can do whatever

but uh movespeed is good on boots, health is good everywhere, if you're melee flat crit and flat damage are good on weapon, resists are ok

not an exhaustive list of course

[jaunty shadow]

Okay, thanks!

[pure pier]

so just respecced so yeah I lost the points in spells, should I go and level them up somewhere or just continue with campaign?

[pastel pebble]

You can probably continue just fine

[pure pier]

ty

[fervent quiver]

Adding to that, there is an item that makes bleed and poison scale with your crit multiplier, it's called salt the wound.

[ebon marlin]

is there a way to filter by legendary potential?

[dense root]

no

[ebon marlin]

ree

[broken fern]

I've made it to the final bosse sin two monoliths questlines, but they have are attacks that keep one-shotting me and I don't have traversal skill ( I'm trying tank builds). Any advice?

[broken burrow]

I can help you if you want a build look over meet me when I'm in the VC

[queen python]

Would that turn into a fractured crown or not ? As I seen people using gilded but on last epoch tools it says celestial

[knotty tinsel]

if all affixes (and the sealed one counts afaik) add up to 21 or more that's a fractured crown yes.

I have not heard or seen of gilded crown being related at all, I wonder where you saw this?

[knotty tinsel]

looks good to me!

[queen python]

Thank you you was right

[knotty tinsel]

nice, good rolls as well. mine not so much 😄

[queen python]

Now try get the throne of ambition and orians eye…. The joys thank you sir

[knotty tinsel]

throne should be pretty fast if you beat the boss a few times. Orians eye might take a while

[faint cape]

Just for your future awareness, this was actually 3 tiers higher than it needed to be, the total 21 tiers counts the sealed affix as well (and mana or damage to mana can be the sealed, too)

[knotty tinsel]

Taking a guess at what you're playing, the Strong Mind amulet is a pretty good placeholder for orian's eye, if you get one with LP and put more mana on it

[queen python]

I’ll have a look at that now I’ll find it thank you all for help much appreciated

[sterile bane]

ok i need some tech help

[sudden schooner]

Does anyone know where to find training dummies early on? Just got to end of time and got subclass

[native sail]

Early? Nope. It's only available in Champion's Gate which is relatively late into Heoborea

[sudden schooner]

Do we know if that is an oversight or deliberate?

[native sail]

AFAIK deliberate

[faint cape]

Worth a #suggestions-and-like-to-see, there used to be a dummy in the very first town (and every town), but all those dummies were removed for multiplayer. Might not be bad if there was a non-town area available earlier that had a dummy.

[fiery heron]

Guys is it normal to have an extra window of loading before the loading screen?
I havent played in like a year

[wicked mauve]

hi all litttle question play the game 1year ago and on last epoch tool see a loot filter, now dont have on this website how can have it please? need a loot filter for this build https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/3ApW0vxo

[wicked mauve]

thanks

[grim tundra]

Where can i get the pebbles bitemark? It says the monolith fall of empire but i am no where near that but have the other two.

[faint cape]

It drops anywhere high enough level, which is most places since it's a low level item. Sometimes RNG is just not very nice.

[grim tundra]

@faint cape thanks

[amber bronze]

Has anything been said about if singleplayer offline will be included at 1.0 launch?

[knotty hinge]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/unofficial-roadmap-to-1-0-and-beyond/60203/12

Sounds like it but many of the comments are old so I'm uncertain.

[faint cape]

If you mean the 'full offline', yes, the odds are pretty good it will be in 1.0. There is offline play already in game, you just have to log in.

[wheat vault]

Does bone curses Bone Armour also have a cooldown?

[faint cape]

No

[wheat vault]

Thanks!

[pulsar obsidian]

Hey all. Just going through the builds website, noticed almost all builds for 9.2 are runemaster, but the 9.1 section has far more diversity. Are the builds from 9.1 still viable in 9.2 in full? I noticed some of them are created well after 9.2 release.

Or is it more of a "Anything viable for version 9.0+ is still viable now"

[surreal verge]

This pretty much

[pulsar obsidian]

Ok sick, that's good to know. I didn't wanna limit myself to only runemaster stuff lol

[dense root]

runemaster is just the new thing

most builds from a patch or two ago will be fine

the primary exceptions are that bastion of honor and apostate's sanctuary were nerfed

and the bug allowing endurance to cover damage taken from mana was fixed

so builds relying on one of those three things will be weaker (and possibly no longer viable)

[wheat vault]

Anything scaling vitality is worse than it was before, but likely still fine. Builds using Apostate's sanctuary are all likely broken, and builds running bastion of honour would likely run something else now. There were some buged skills like bone curse that you might want to ask about specifically before playing, and mages that do something about taking damage to mana and endurance dont intereact anymore

Yeah what days said lol

[dense root]

some of the apostate's builds were good enough that they can still function

like low life bladedancer

[pulsar obsidian]

Ok ok ok, cool. Ty for that info! I'll make a note of it, and rule out any of those builds if I come across them ❤️

[mortal silo]

is there any way to change minions targeting system? i cant kill heoroth on frozen citadel because all of minions target the wolves instead of him, he doesnt take any damage...

[knotty tinsel]

you can press A to command them to move where you're pointing, making copious use of that fixes targeting issues for me

[fluid wedge]

So im just starting out. Lvl 12ish. Is there a salvage system for this gear im getting? Im sure the answer is yes but i cant seem to find it in game. Is it a later unlock or am i just blind?

[surreal verge]

Crafting, using runes of shattering

(Don't pick up things you aren't using)

[fluid wedge]

What do you mean?

[surreal verge]

Items sell for basically nothing

[fluid wedge]

Truth

[surreal verge]

runes of shattering won't be common early on

So unless you see an affix you need/want or a rare one, just drop it-

[fluid wedge]

Ah okay. Ive seens runes of shattering for sale at the vendor

[surreal verge]

Yeah once yo can get gold at a decent pace the vendor will be the main source of them

[fluid wedge]

Ah and to use them ise it an npc or in inventory?

[surreal verge]

Oh noooooo

Have yo pressed F on your keyboard before in game

[fluid wedge]

Nope lol

Been playing on controller

[surreal verge]

(Also the purple button that says "transfer crafting items" in your inventory)

Oh, idk what the shortcut is for controller

[fluid wedge]

I have been hitting that button every 5 minutes bc i get so many crafting items

[surreal verge]

Oh thank god

But yeah crafting is a window you can access at anytime

[fluid wedge]

F. Okay i can remember that

Controller is wierd on it. I use the keyboard for a bunch of stuff. Mostly just use controller for moving and combat and knm for everything else

[surreal verge]

Yeah controller isn't perfect, but I heard it's playable so it's better than a few games already-

[faint cape]

Yep, officially, controllers aren't fully supported - which is a good thing in that it means they are working on it

[fluid wedge]

No not perfect but i enjoy it

Im moving over from d3 and d4 so im just trying to get used to the systems

Im loving the skill system of leveling it and upgrading the skills you use. Its so much more freedom

From what ive read through skill wise my goal is to get a minion build going with a shred rive forge guard

[zinc anchor]

Glad you're loving the game! I love the skill system too and crafting system and loot filter. I also play mainly minion builds!

[fluid wedge]

I tried to mess with the loot filter and couldnt figure it out so i just hover over stuff lol no big deal. But yes im so excited this game has real minions! Im so pumped to get higher level so i can have a ton running around doing my bidding so i can just chill and enjoy the time i have on the game

[spice sandal]

Does increasing minion physical damage increase that minion’s bleed damage as well?

[sterile bane]

no

[knotty tinsel]

yes it does. bleed deals physical damage over time.

[sterile bane]

i thought it didnt

[sinful laurel]

Minion physical damage is the same as player physical damage, but for minions

And yes physical damage increases bleed

[knotty tinsel]

Now I'm just confused where you'd get the notion that physical damage doesnt increase bleed damage lol

[sterile bane]

i thought physical damage was just straight damage and to increase bleed it was DOT only

[native sail]

Nope. Physical damage is physical damage, whether it is direct or DoT

You're probably thinking of melee physical damage, which is self explanatory of being for melee hits only

[sterile bane]

prob

[knotty tinsel]

last epoch can be confusing in a lot of ways but this isn't one of them, tags are a nice way to keep things transparent

[acoustic glacier]

How do you get 5 affixes on an Exalted item?

[knotty tinsel]

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

[acoustic glacier]

Cheers for the link @knotty tinsel got 49x of those Glyphs. Does it cost Forging Potential to seal an affix?

[knotty tinsel]

not if you're lucky, but usually yes

[acoustic glacier]

Ok cool it also say "...chance to seal an affix instead of upgrading it." Does that mean that I cannot seal an already fully upgraded item?

[knotty tinsel]

has to be t4 or lower yes. the lower it is the higher the chance of success

if it fails the affix upgrades as normal and the glyph is wasted

[acoustic glacier]

Ok that's not too bad actually, gotta start using those glyphs lmao. Thanks again :)

[sterile bane]

perry pig did a great video of how to use them with the highest chance possibile to seal

[misty condor]

Hello, new player here trying totems, is there any way in-game to see if passives such as elder branch (triple bonus when using an axe) or talents on storm totem such as "deal more damage but cost more mana" are actually working i.e a tooltip or something?

or is it just see what kind of numbers you are hitting and judge based off that

[sterile bane]

i got morage

morphage

[broken burrow]

mirrophage?

[pastel pebble]

Morgage

[sterile bane]

the sword that changes depending on what u shatter

[sinful laurel]

Apparently the name changes too

Miragarage

[sterile bane]

really?

[sinful laurel]

No but that would be cool haha

I'm just being a shit 😉

[faint cape]

Minions (such as totems) do not have tooltips. The way to test would be having them hit a dummy and record damage numbers.

[sterile bane]

ohh i dont understand sacrasm

[sinful laurel]

It's hard over text

[sterile bane]

my therapist says

[misty condor]

ok thank you, I assumed as much but was just hoping it would be clearer

[storm lion]

Which would be the best 2 prefixes between Crit damage, attack speed or necrotic damage? i'm playing harvest lich so i have 100% crit chance

[sinful laurel]

Depends on where your crit multi, attack speed and necrotic DMG is at

[storm lion]

in lich form Melee attack speed 89% crit damage 250%. necrotic damage 898%

[dry dove]

Hi all noob here: what do I do with IDOLS?

[sterile widget]

Stick em in your idol slots.

Open your inventory and the slots are top right of the screen

You unlock more slots through the campaign-- the middle one doesn't unlock

[dry dove]

Ohhh nice got it !

thank you so much

Also, sorry, coming from POE, so just wondering if we can only use QWER and right mouse click so 5 skills basically? If I get for example a "dash" like skill I will have to commit one of my skill slots and it cannot even be space bar?

[sinful laurel]

Ias and multi imo

[storm lion]

Thx for the help. so crit damage and what does las stand for?

[sinful laurel]

Increased attack speed. Sorry

[sterile bane]

@sinful laurel do you still play MM

[sinful laurel]

I mean I can't really play at all ATM, but I have a few MMs yes

[sterile bane]

ohhh idk

have u played since 0.92?

[sinful laurel]

Nope sadly.

[ebon marlin]

if I equip an item that has increased aspect of the shark effect, do my minions also get the increased effect if I grant them aspect of the shark?

[sterile widget]

That's correct. You can rebind the keys but it is limited to what you can put in skill bar

[dry dove]

thanks... quite sad to be honest

[sterile widget]

FWIW - you CAN specialise skills that are not on your skill bar. For example, Smite is often specialised and then proc'd with other abilities

[dry dove]

oh ok I will have a look on the ones for necro

I am specializing on minions thing 🙂

[misty condor]

If an item gives for example "x% increased minion void damage", would this make my minion ( storm totem in this case) do a small amount of void damage? Or because its not listed under the minion tags it would do literally nothing? There are also things on the passive tree that are just flat "increased totem damage +x%", I'm assuming that works regardless of minion tag? Or will I eventually start finding items with flat damage totem/minion tags?

[sterile widget]

If your minion already does void damage, it would increase it.

Totems are minions, so you are on the right track. However, you need to add flat (+X damage) to increase from 0 to something 🙂

[queen python]

Good morning FELLOW players. I’m just curious really and want some advice. I’m looking to farm the “throne of ambition” and wondering if it only drops at the boss as the last epoch tools site says or there’s a chance in any of the echos. THANK YOU AND FUN PLAYING

[sinful laurel]

Throne is a boss only drop

Generally trust LE tools

[queen python]

Well I ain’t half just wasted a lot of time then hahaha I spoke to someone on game and was like or no just random thank you very much

[misty condor]

appreciate the response and that makes sense, i guess im just confused that the tag on the skill is "spell" so I dont know if that means every type of element or what as theres no actual tooltip numbers so I dont even know what damage im doing

[sterile widget]

Skills can have multiple tags and it can take a while to learn all the tags and how they apply 🙂

Lightning, Fire, Cold are elemental tags

If you have a look here, you can see the base damage for the lightning storm, cast by your totem
https://www.lastepochtools.com/minions/storm_totem

[misty condor]

very useful info, thanks for your help

[violet mortar]

how can i farm a specific unique reliably?

i'm trying to play a build that relies on bhuldar's wrath as a core item

[surreal verge]

Monoliths, that's about it.

[surreal verge]

Also, that's a boss only drop.

[violet mortar]

oh no

[surreal verge]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/search?query=bhuldar&in_description=1&exact_match=0

LETools can help you check if a unique's a boss drop or a normal drop-

Good luck

[iron zealot]

50% is a good chance

And even if you don't get what you're after, most of the boss uniques are interesting enough to be happy to get one

[violet mortar]

yea

but as a level 74 primalist i think i'm in over my head for now

[iron zealot]

You'll get there. Check the other timelines to see what else you can farm for your build along the way

[violet mortar]

i just unlocked fall of the empire which is level 80

and i guess spirits of fire is at 85 after?

[surreal verge]

Spirits is a lv90

[violet mortar]

damn that's a while away then

if i knew that, i wouldn't have built this thorn totems build for leveling till i got the mace

but i still think it's doable

thanks for the answers btw, this is my first time hitting end game and i appreciate it @iron zealot @surreal verge

[surreal verge]

LETools is your friend-
Use it if you wana look up something

[violet mortar]

will do

[iron zealot]

Learn how to use Temporal Sanctum effectively and you can get a small power spike from it to help push you upward into deeper echoes

[violet mortar]

i do have a couple of keys, but i never tried it

is it like the arena?

[iron zealot]

I recommend watching a vid guide to see how it works, then wait to run it until you have good items for it

[violet mortar]

will do that

[gaunt tulip]

quest with a forge ??

[steel merlin]

It's just there to tell you "hey, in case you missed we have a crafting system after several hours of playing, check it out"

[broken burrow]

You can access the forge from anywhere with the letter F

[knotty tinsel]

the quest can be a bit buggy, I had it too.

relogging fixed it for me

[violet mortar]

hey i'm at spirits of fire, what exactly is the "boss" that drops the unique?

or rather how do i get to it

[surreal verge]

The final boss in the quest echoes.

[violet mortar]

ah i see

so every try i gotta go through the quest echoes

from the beginning

and that's how i can "target farm" the unique

[knotty tinsel]

you only need to do the 2 lead up quests once

then you can just wait until you have enough for the boss, do it and repeat

[exotic anchor]

is there a timeframe in when last epoch will be fully released, or still unknown?

[surreal verge]

1.0 is targetted for end of the year./

[knotty tinsel]

there's been some talks of having it come out before the end of the year but nothing set in stone that I've seen.

||I hope it's later||

[exotic anchor]

alright np

[dry dove]

Is it only me or entiring a new zone takes a long time?

"entering ......"

I do have a good computer, good internet, a 4080, and still "entering..." a new zone takes a while + loading screen

[queen python]

I’m the same it’s terrible loading times to be honest and the lag when I’m in a party is unreal can not play with anyone really as as die and I have not even loaded into the zone haha

[dry dove]

havent tried to play in a party yet

[queen python]

Honestly that’s next level… the lag is unbearable and loading into zone with someone is a nightmare

[storm blaze]

There are totems, yes
no brands

They are viable

[dry dove]

does craft worth at level like 20 or just wait for end game?

[acoustic thicket]

there's a skill similar to poe spark?

[acoustic thicket]

what passive buffs fire arrow (skellies) - would minion physical convert or be partly added? how about minion phy bow?

would effigies give minion fire damage when on full hp?

[faint cape]

Yes

[faint cape]

If you're having trouble completing that quest, rezone, re-talk to the NPC that gives the quest, and then go click on that forge.

Just FYSA, totems in this game are a type of minion, so they don't scale with player stats. There are some skills that can be brand-like, like acolyte's infernal shade, but might not be what you're looking for.

[faint cape]

Crafting is always strong, and most materials are really common so generally don't worry about wasting resources

[faint cape]

Not really no

[faint cape]

Typed damage does not get converted, so if you get +minion bow physical damage, it adds as just physical damage. The fire arrow on its own is half fire, half phys.

[faint cape]

It always gives minion fire damage, health level doesn't matter

[acoustic thicket]

ah sweet, ty

is there a way ingame I can see damage go up / down ?

on Skelly for example

[faint cape]

Yes and no, you can have your minions attack the dummy in the arena town (or I guess just against enemies, but that's a little harder to do consistently), but minions don't have tooltips

[acoustic thicket]

ait, ty

[surreal verge]

No

[thorn pebble]

Man, primal serpent's guaranteed frailty on hit does not seem to work if it's been summoned for a while. Unequipping then re-equipping serpent strike and summoning a new primal serpent seems to fix the problem, for a couple of minutes. But then it's back to the same loop.

Is this a known problem, or am I misunderstanding something?

[cedar locust]

Like other players have said - Reloading can help, so can Verifying your Steam Files! Though with this quest we have a workaround that helps most players!

Teleport back to outcast camp, talked to Cailyn again as if you're taking the quest for the first time, and when you go to the forge, the quest should end properly.

[lyric bramble]

Does the Iron Monger node in Shield Throw steal armor from allies if you have the Aegis node?

[thorn pebble]

Wait, it's you kidpid, I met you somewhere b4 haven't I....?

Probably grim dawn

[lyric bramble]

Probably, I moderate the GD Discord

[small quiver]

hi everyone. issue with long loading screen in multiplayer was fixed?

[sinful laurel]

Not yet

Afaik

[faint cape]

No, on-hit effects don't apply to allies

(generally speaking)

[sinful laurel]

Some don't show on character sheet, some do

Character sheet stats are notoriously incorrect and lacking atm

[faint cape]

I can say that they definitely work, but yeah won't show on the sheet

[native sail]

Character sheet will be revamped at some point. Probably a ways off but... it'll be so nice when it does happen

[pulsar obsidian]

Anyone else having issue with maxroll guides "Failed to load profile"?

In regards to where it shows you what points to allocate etc, tells you to click on the nodes at the bottom to see skill tree profression, but failing to load the profile in order to do so?

[dense root]

no

fire, ice, lightning

[surreal verge]

Like poison? Huh?

[dense root]

poison is a damage type

[surreal verge]

I feel like that sounds like a weird ish sentence for me.

it seems to imply poison is universal

[dense root]

fair but in context i believe they're asking if elemental damage covers other damage types such as poison

[surreal verge]

Yeah I hope that's the case-

Yeah elemental is fire, cold and lightning only.

[autumn totem]

So is shaman still terrible? Or are they receiving a rework any time soon?

[pastel pebble]

They're lacking build diversity

Some shamans are pretty far performing

[buoyant sinew]

what what has been said they're relatively high up the rework list, but sounds like it will be next year

[faint cape]

Shaman getting its new/reworked skills is a flex feature for 1.0, so getting that this year depends on how smoothly the new masteries go in. 1.0 is not getting delayed on Shaman's account.

[pulsar obsidian]

Can your hammers chain still if you take the Chain passive AND the nova passive or naw

[tawny osprey]

quick question about resistances...
monster gain 1% penetration per lvl. does this scale above 75%?

[knotty tinsel]

no

lv75 and up it stops increasing

[faint cape]

Yeah they still chain

[violet mortar]

does mana regen affect rage regen?

[faint cape]

Well yes, but actually no. Rage is just orange mana so it applies, but transforms give 100% less mana regen which negates that.

[violet mortar]

then why is urzil's pride a recommended unique on a werebear build

what am i missing

[faint cape]

It's a good leveling unique - low level req, common, decent amount of armor, good chunk of strength (really important for spell bears), and a bit of mana and lightning resist which don't hurt.

Hopefully they aren't stacking lightning resistance with that

[violet mortar]

doesnt seem like it

also apparently this item used to have 20000% lighting resistance in 0.7.1?

what the actual fuck (respectfully ofcourse)

[broken burrow]

toasty knows the game really well

emphasis on leveling unique

[violet mortar]

i mean im only level 80 so i guess that works

thanks either way

[sterile widget]

The defenses system was overhauled in the past. Really old items will look weird in history view

[faint cape]

Yeah, that probably equates to like +200 protection or something

[sterile widget]

I have 3LP Urzils and yet I still run around in scrub levelling gear

[floral flame]

At what point should I start thinking about Resistances?

[dense root]

depends on what you mean

it's helpful to have a bit of the appropriate resistances for each campaign chapter but you don't need all resistances for any given chapter and you don't need to cap anything

in early monoliths it's pretty useful to have some investment in each resistance but i wouldn't prioritize capping them over building other defenses

in the long term you want to be at or near the cap in all seven resistances

[sterile bane]

also some mastery have passive skills that give a large amount of res

[oak badger]

does any1 has some clue why its not working

[dense root]

it doesn’t count kills from your minions if that’s what’s happening

[zinc anchor]

Breakable objects should work, and I've had it work when i use a skill that kills minions (i.e., assemble abomination)

[slim marsh]

Was there a particular reason for why the map resets so quickly

[faint cape]

Technical reasons, yeah. It has very little impact on how the game plays though, since you shouldn't be returning to town for basically anything. For example, it's not worth your time to portal to town to vendor items, you're best off just not picking up stuff you don't want to use/salvage (and filtering out anything you know for sure you don't want).

[pulsar obsidian]

Watching a vid rn, and it's suggested that release date is december? Is that a thing?

[safe harness]

They’re aiming for end of the year for 1.0

[pulsar obsidian]

noice

[surreal verge]

You need to do the kills yourself.
Minion kills don't count.

[molten prawn]

Greetings, new to the game. stuck on this quest, invisible wall stopping me from continuing. anyone found a fix?

[sterile widget]

Verify your Steam files and see if that helps 🙂

[molten prawn]

update: walking from the previous section was the solution

[sterile widget]

glad ya fixed it

[misty condor]

Does Lagon's Answer (Your spells have a chance to cast lightning strike) work with storm totems? Or because those arent "my" spells it wont work

[surreal verge]

Totems spells aren’t your spells

[misty condor]

Ok, I thought so, just wasnt sure if the act of me summon the totem was considered my spell and would then work, thank you

[surreal verge]

Those would count as minion skills

(Mostly important for acolytes)

[misty condor]

ah ok, makes sense

[deep briar]

please fast server

[deep briar]

bug loading

[turbid garnet]

my routert rebooted and my character no longer appears as if it never exsisted. ive done every possible troubleshooting step i can think of and it will not show up again. is this a common thing that has an easy fix?

[deep briar]

does not detect change from cable to wifi network. you need to log in again

it should direct the game as offline

[turbid garnet]

what

is this games login not tied to steam?

[broken burrow]

It is

[turbid garnet]

so where did it go?

[broken burrow]

I have no idea, fill out the bug report

[rotund rune]

Hey, is there any benefit to getting LE now instead of during launch day considering it's like maybe another half a year away?

[merry aspen]

It's 3 months away. Might as well wait if you care about getting as much content at once as possible

[surreal verge]

Personal instanced

But you may trade drops between party members if they were there when it dropped

[rotund rune]

Is it really not p2w?

How's the grinding in general? Nice and steady progression?

[steel merlin]

in this game? there is nothing to buy outside of cosmetics

not even stashes or convenience

[green gyro]

Hi everyone, I just started today but i'm having a lot of issues. I keep getting into a "frozen state" same as if i lost internet but I did not as I am still using the global chat talking to people. It happens very often (like already over 20 times today) with no particular pattern: sometimes during a fight, sometimes after opening my bag, sometimes while trying to use my portal or teleport somewhere. I can still move but nothing is happening: skills start the animation but then nothing, monsters don't move or attack me, can't change map/teleport etc... Any solution?

[rotund rune]

Anyone here from grim dawn? What's the transition like?

[storm blaze]

I did play grim dawn for like 1500 hours
It's easy transition tbh

[river drift]

Hi all,
I'm brand new to the game, started a couple of hours ago, currently level 53 and I got all passive points and idol slots according to the counter at the bottom of the map.

Is there any point to doing any side quests at this point? They obviously give some xp but it seems pretty minimal and I imagine getting to endgame activities by pushing campaign is more beneficial? But maybe im missing something and side quests do end up being important for something later?

[surreal verge]

No point for side quests at that point

It’s for the passive and idol slots

And maybe xp

[river drift]

ok cool, they're not required to unlock anything?

[surreal verge]

Nope

They only unlock the passive points and idol slots

[river drift]

I do still have quests that say "1 pasive point" as reward, but this just means that you can pick what sidequests you do for passive points? Not that it goes over the cap at the bottom of the map?

[storm blaze]

You could even go to the end game now if you wanted.
you could also finish the campaign for +1 to all stats

Correct

[rigid shale]

is that a bug? All of Julra's items always only have 1 LP, never more but also not less. I did over 30 runs today. T1 - T4 doesn't matter

[river drift]

Ah cool thanks

[surreal verge]

Yes

[surreal verge]

They commonly drop as 1lp correct,they basically have a 1lp min

[warped wren]

whats going on with the font at the bottom? its like a shadow or gray block behind the text for each letter

hm, harder to see in the screenshot

[rigid shale]

lool okay thanks 😄

[storm blaze]

known issue

[surreal verge]

Is it the one that also pops up in the char sheet? Then yes known bug

[warped wren]

yep, ok good to know, thanks

[rotund rune]

If you had to choose between the two, which one would it be?

[storm blaze]

Frankly
I like them both and they hit a bit different itch
Gonna need to see how the full release is
and even then it'd be kinda unfair to compare a game that just came out vs game that's been out for several years with few dlcs and a lot of additional content on top of that

I guess I could say that it's refreshing not having to go through 3 difficulties and having different stuff to grind in end game

[rotund rune]

That's fair, thank you for taking the time!

[storm blaze]

Also getting to end game & grinding for gear is smoother transition than in grim dawn going to ultimate difficulty

[timber temple]

has there been a timeline given for the merchant guild (trading) and circle of fortune systems? is that planed for the game's full release?

[storm blaze]

Planned for 1.0

[urban horizon]

Planned for 1.0

[turbid garnet]

btw the stuff in my stash was still there when i made a new character

[sly sluice]

hello i just bought last epoch and i heard that i will need the loot filter could anyone explain to me when and how? thanks in advance

i dont have any experience with any kind of loot filter

[broken burrow]

Last epoch tools has some great loot filters already pre-made for you I would recommend visiting their website there's also some great YouTube videos that explain loot filters

[cedar locust]

The original character is still gone though?

[turbid garnet]

It magically came back so no worries I guess

Some 3 hours later

I'm already farther with my second character

[cedar locust]

Hmmm, strange 🤔 Steam might have checked it's servers for the save data and put it back.

If this happens again (though let's pray it doesn't!) it's worth fully restarting Steam and making it double check 🙂

Was this an Online Character btw?

[cedar locust]

Hi, this does sound like your connection might be having some issues. How stable is your internet usually?

Also where are you playing from and which server are you connected to?

Yep, if you haven't already could you report this via the IGBR Tool? 😊

Do you remember where this was?

[green gyro]

My internet is usually stable, no issue on any other games. Playing from Australia and connected to Australia server. What is weird is that I am still in game (no disconnect message) and still online cause the chat still works

[green gyro]

it happens everywhere

happened another 10 times at least since my previous message

[tiny rivet]

any recommended class if one wants to focus on cold skills? always loved freezing and shattering enemies in poe

[green gyro]

i can ping you next time it happens, so I can stream for you

[cedar locust]

This is definitely worth report via the IGBR Tool when it happen as those reports attach your player.log data which is very helpful for the team!

You can also record a video, upload it somewhere and then add that URL to the big reporting tool!

[green gyro]

i used the in game report feature. Is it what you are talking about?

[cedar locust]

I'll make a note of that for you, was it in campaign?

[cedar locust]

Yep, sorry 😅 - IGBR Tool is In Game Bug Reporting Tool!

0.9.2 introduced significant networking changes and the team expected some issues to crop up, though this is one of the more persistent issues I've heard of. What is your ping when this is happening?

[turbid garnet]

It was I fully restarted steam checked local files messed with the sync settings restarted my pc

[cedar locust]

Mage-Runemaster has some great cold skills that synergise well!

[green gyro]

15ms

[green gyro]

no ping change

[green gyro]

btw, i tried to stay online for a long time to see if it was coming back live by itself, last it happened, i stayed over 20min in that "frozen" state and nothing changed. The only thing i can do is go back to the character selection and select my character again

[cedar locust]

This is an online character yes? Does it happen on all your characters or just one?

[green gyro]

i only have one and yes it is online

i can try to make an offline char and test this

[cedar locust]

Testing another Online and an Offline character would be helpful! Then when we have more info, you can add that to a bug report (so the team has the report and the data) However, player.log data files are only for the last two play sessions so if you close the game that counts as one.

If you also let me know what happens I can give the team a heads up, so they can look for your ticket 🙂

[green gyro]

sure thing, i'll give it a go

[cedar locust]

Thank you!

[native sail]

Not basically, they are guaranteed to have 1LP at least, but this causes confusion for people a lot because it makes it seem like farming 2LP will be easy. It isn't.

[surreal verge]

Ah

Close enough

[faint cape]

Close enough is for real world stuff, I want perfection

[pallid thistle]

Hi, new player here "game is downloading right now status" - i have a bunch of questions if you can help me (i will be playing offline mode): 1) can you respec at will or it has a cost? 2) game is early access, i'm ok with bugs & stuff (sw engineer bro here), is there something known as save-game-breaking where you can lose all progress around? 3) can you really go blind in or there is something that is better to know to avoid losing a lot of time later on?

[sinful laurel]

1. Respec everything but your mastery choice at will. Passives have a very small gold cost, skill levels will need to be regained but it goes quickly late game.
2. No, afaik.
3. Go blind, LE is great at letting you learn as you go

[pallid thistle]

super thank you

[native sail]

Note that you can't just respec passives randomly in an area, you do need to talk to an NPC for it, but that's the only limit on that cuz it might as well be free

[pallid thistle]

reasonable

[river drift]

Maybe a stupid question, but if there is nothing on a skill mentioning ailments, it means that it cannot apply that ailment baseline, right? Only if you have some kind of stat somewhere else...

For example, static orb says nothing about shocking, so unless i have "your lightning spells have a chance to shock" on an item or passive or w/e, it wont be able to shock, right?

Also, what does +x% chance to shock mean? For example, if I have 0% chance to shock but then get +10% chance to shock, does that mean 0+10% = 10%, or 0% * 1.1 = 0%

[pastel pebble]

Skills won't apply ailments without a source to apply them

[river drift]

tldr multiplicative or or additive? I assume additive since it says +

[pastel pebble]

10% to ignite on hit is 10% chance for the enemy to be ignited. 200% chance to ignite on hit meats it'll apply 2 stacks of ignite per hit

[river drift]

For example, the ceraunomancer sorcerer passive says +3% shock chance with lightning skills, this means all my lightning skills can shock even if nothing is listed on the spell itself?

[pastel pebble]

My bardiche for example has something like 130% to bleed. So it'll guarantee one stack on hit and 30% of another landing on hit

Yes

[river drift]

and e.g. this item means that ALL my elemental spells have 45% chance to apply any of the ailments? so if i have zero passives etc, any of my spells will still apply shock + chill + ignite?

with 45% chance ofc

[pastel pebble]

Yes, they'll still have that chance to apply cause of this item

[river drift]

It's interesting that i can just make any spell do any ailment

It's how I understood it but kind of hard to wrap my head around 😄

[native sail]

The only sources of ailments are flat and "more", more is multiplicative to flat. And unless something states it explicitly (such as that item being "elemental") then it's just generic and any hit from any source can apply the ailment. So "25% chance to shock on hit" works for all hits.

[pastel pebble]

It's oddly unintuitive and intuitive. Literal wording but makes little sense with life logic

[river drift]

That's cool, opens up a lot of things that require some form of ailment

[native sail]

Ailments are both good and bad at the same time, it's a little annoying

[river drift]

like "static orb deals more spell damage to shocked enemies" but nothing on static orb makes it shock unless i take the passive 😄

But that's fine cos i can get lots of shock chance from other places

Thanks for the help

[pastel pebble]

Ofc

[river drift]

What confused me was how on the character sheet i have 0 shock chance

[lunar holly]

well you can't pick the "more damage to shocked enemies" node without picking the shock chance node

[river drift]

but i literally shock 3-4 stacks with everything lol

[river drift]

I went the long way 😄

[lunar holly]

ah .. right

but yeah ailments in this game don't require a damage type, you can poison with a fireball

[river drift]

I guess this is technically true as all my shock chance has some condition, like elemental spells or lightning spells only

[pastel pebble]

Character sheet needs to be updated

[river drift]

but it did confuse me a bit

[pastel pebble]

It won't catch conditionals like that on there

[river drift]

it's fair that it doesn't as it would mean adding like 100 other stats on there

but maybe being able to hover over it and see like "x% chance to shock with elemental, x% with lightning" etc would cause less confusion

[native sail]

The character sheet is.... super outdated tbh

There's even things that used to work on it that no longer do

Like Apostacy for Rogues. It doesn't work on sheet anymore but it still functions.

[river drift]

another maybe silly question

But is there a way to make clicking items easier? 😄

I might be getting old but I feel like i fail to loot items way more than I should

[broken burrow]

yes

[native sail]

Not that I'm aware of. Might be worthwhile to throw a thing in suggestions for something like a setting for larger labels

[broken burrow]

i'm in voice chat if anyone wants to join to ask questions, i hate typing

[tawny osprey]

yes

[fluid cedar]

Does an (easy) way exist to cast "static" (mage) without casting static AND not having static equipped?

[native sail]

You can equip Static Shell and pray I suppose

[native sail]

Oh. Then probably not.

[native sail]

I wouldn't bother if you aren't specialized in it anyway

[fluid cedar]

I'm having a runemaster just throwing shit at enemies, and having frequently 100 charges from glyph of dominion would fit the theme.

[native sail]

It kinda does like no damage if you don't specialize

[haughty pewter]

if an item has a chance to apply a spell on hit, is it the base version of it or the specced one?

[fluid cedar]

It does with 100 charges.
But yeah, it's not worth spending actual ressources in it that i need for something else.

[fluid cedar]

I could be wrong, but if it does not specify, i think it should always be the specced one. Don't nail me on it though.

[haughty pewter]

hopefully it is

[tawny osprey]

if a skill procs a skill, and the proc skill has a skill tree then it gets the benefits of those passives. this is generally how it works.
tho there are different procs that are not skills

[fluid cedar]

It should in most cases.

[broken burrow]

It's the spec version

No

[haughty pewter]

i guess this will include the skill tree

[broken burrow]

Yes

[haughty pewter]

awesome

[broken burrow]

Yeah

Plus glancing blows

Not times

@dreamy rock

[native sail]

It'd be (2 * dodge%) + base GB% I think?

[broken burrow]

Yes

[faint cape]

You can never get any static charges without static on your skill bar, so no you can't.

[native sail]

I don't think there is no

[candid elm]

You could look at the play time in Steam

[devout yacht]

i was about to reroll an exalted mace with t7 melee crit chance but accidently dropped it on ground, can't pick it up and X or alt+z doesnt work. as this item is very rare, is there a way to restore it?(offline mode)

[cedar locust]

Try just Z, and check your Keybindings in case the disable/enable loot filter keybinds are something else!

[devout yacht]

the mace is gone now so no worries.
Also tried those methods aswell.

[south latch]

This game has controller support, right?

[dense root]

controller support is incomplete

but there are definitely people who play with controller and it seems to work for them

[south latch]

I’m trying to figure out how they’re getting into the game without using a mouse. I docked my deck and can’t do it so I got on my gaming pc and can’t do it there either. The first screen is as far as I can go.

[jade jetty]

Hello, I'm playing Sentinel and I need to choose a mastery. Considering that I always play in a team of 2 with a wizard, and I want to fulfill the role of a tank, which mastery would be the most suitable?

[buoyant sinew]

paladin is the mastery designed for that fantasy, though note that you can (and should aim to) still deal good damage yourself, while also being tanky and providing some benefits to your party member

[jade jetty]

Okay, I take good note, let's go for the Paladin, thanks !

[molten thicket]

yo can summoned forge weapon from forge strike proc weapon effects like "100% Chance to cast Tidal Wave when you use a Melee Attack (2 second cooldown)" and if so would that effect scale from my stats or minion stats or not at all. anoyone know? 🙂

[candid elm]

I just tested it on my PC with an Xbox Wireless X/S controller that I connected with USB C cable. When the game first started up there was a message in the lower right corner about the controller being detected. I then pushed a button on the controller and another message popped up about something like Xinput 1. I was then able to use the right joy stick to move the cursor over the sign in button and press the A key to sign in. Same for character selection, right joy stick to move the cursor over a character and A key to select the character.

[noble halo]

does "using" here include indirect casting?

[unreal hinge]

Yes

[south latch]

Linux or windows?

[unreal hinge]

I tested the mana return with lightning blast after a static orb from flamerush and that worked too

[boreal zenith]

Two questions:

1. I see that you can use the gift UI as a sort of pseudo-storage space. Put an item in it but don't give the gift and it's temporarily hidden from your inventory (open gift with that player back up and you can pull it out). Surely this isn't intended, but are there any known issues with doing this right now?

2. I played for about 2 hours yesterday, then logged off. When I logged in today my weapon was gone (I had none equipped). It's not in vendor buyback from the only vendor I have been able to talk to (but other stuff I sold yesterday is) or my stash and I surely didn't drop it on the ground because it was my best weapon. Is this some sort of known issue? Thoughts?

[noble halo]

I see, thank you

[faint cape]

No, 'complex' stats like that do not work on minions (it would scale with minion stats if it could work)

[molten thicket]

thanks yea i googled abit more and relised it didnt work but thanks for the info

[faint cape]

1. No known issues for sure, but also no reason to use it - if your inventory is too full, you should dump in your stash, or it's quite likely you're picking up too much trash (don't bother vendoring).

2. Try relogging and also make sure to check the forge and your gift (receiving) inventory.

[zealous tulip]

hi just starting out picking a char what exactly is the character found thing you can check

[buoyant sinew]

normally you can share items you find between your characters. if you check that, the character will be completely separated and have its own storage that isn't accessible by your other characters

would recommend ignoring it for now if you're new

[zealous tulip]

ok thank you

[molten thicket]

just to be sure if i have + spell void damage and use a fire skill. Will % increased void damage increase the void damage portion of the fire skill?

[faint cape]

Yes

[candid elm]

Windows PC, Win10

[obsidian shuttle]

How does one abandon quests... I Cant track my main quest anymore even tho I have it

[faint cape]

You can't abandon quests

[boreal zenith]

Does this split yellow/blue background mean something, or is it just a visual bug? Can't find info with a search.

[faint cape]

The yellow side means it has 3+ affixes (none above T5) and the blue side means it has an experimental affix (exclusive to Exiled Mage content)

[boreal zenith]

ah okay thanks for the info

[boreal zenith]

Yeah I'm fully aware of the necessity to ignore most loot. I figured out where my sword went... the Forge UI works the same way as the Gift UI does where you can temporarily store items in it. Thanks for the reply

[faint cape]

Great - glad you found it!

[boreal zenith]

Oh you literally said that

[molten thicket]

added spell dmg without a specific dmg type would adapt into added fire dmg on a fire spell right? is it the same on increased spell damage, or does it work on everything if the spell has added cold aswell?

[buoyant sinew]

increased spell damage works on all the non-ailment damage dealt by the spell, it's not adaptive

[molten thicket]

good thanks

[boreal zenith]

Approximately how strong is the "increased skill xp after a respec" buff? Like 30% or like 200%? Should I really be bothered I'll have to rank up skills again or will it be quick and I will hardly notice? (Currently level 11.)

[safe harness]

It’s quick

[molten thicket]

yea its fast, its not there to punish u for respecing, just to stop u from respecing between trash and bosses and stuff like that

[sterile bane]

i had a beautiful belt and i accidentally upgraded with chaos instead of hope and messed it up

[boreal zenith]

Appreciate you and awful for the response. Thanks!

[neat salmon]

does enyone have some kind of fix/tip on not being able to teleport to a party member ever?

[brazen summit]

if i buy the 50 dollar pack from Steam, do i get the lower tiers?

[broken burrow]

how are you teleporting on accident?

[neat salmon]

not sure what you mean on accident, i mean i can never use the "teleport to party member" fanction when in a group, no matter where they are

[broken burrow]

oh i misread, i'm sorry

[sterile bane]

it says 100% but then it says 5%?

[broken burrow]

the 100% lasts 1 second per point, the 5% is passive

[sterile bane]

thank u

[cinder light]

Good morning everyone. Is there something wrong with the game? I cant pla since yesterday.. Ive been playing offline only and it was fine for a week but since yesterday clicking enter game does nothing. Tried the usual verify integrity of the game still cant.

[sturdy summit]

I'm still on the fence about getting this game, but I just hit the level 70 wall in D4 where I was only continuing to play in hopes that it might make me not feel like I was robbed of 80 bucks.

Does this game encourage playing with random strangers? Like are there 'games' you can create/join based on titles or objectives?

[sterile bane]

critical strike chance blessing, is that flat or added?

[sinful laurel]

added

[sterile bane]

well now i forgot the difference. so if its 50% my crit strike goes up by 50% of what it is?

[sinful laurel]

base crit*(1+sum of increased crit)

[sterile bane]

so if its 50% itll go up by 250?

[zinc anchor]

Sadly, no. To play with others you'd have to meet them in-game, here 9n discord, or elsewhere. Also there's terrible lag playing with others or even just online mode. :/

That said, the game is WAY better than D4. D4 is very basic and simple. If you want more complexity, but still new player friendly, go with LE!

[sinful laurel]

what?

[sterile bane]

i dont get the calculation. i meant 250 points.

if its 50% what would the % of increase be?

[sinful laurel]

what is your base crit chance?

[sterile bane]

5

[sinful laurel]

what is the total of your % increased crit chance

[sturdy summit]

Thanks for the input. I'm not normally one to jump into discord on voice but I always liked the ease of just jumping into a game for a specific objective. POE has plenty of complexity so I've been tempted to go back to that to save 40 bucks, but LE looks a lot prettier at least.

[sterile bane]

well if its 50 than it would be 55

[sinful laurel]

no

5*(1.5)

is 7.5

[sterile bane]

so it owuld go up 7.5%?

[sinful laurel]

if you had 5% base crit and only 50% increased crit

yes

[sterile bane]

thank you

[zinc anchor]

LE is much less complex than PoE. Both are great games in their own ways. IDK how much you've played PoE but you'll end up spending at least $40 on it in the long run anyway.

[sterile bane]

you will get more enjoyment spending $40 here once than going to POE just to save money. im not a POE player at all but idk of anyone that plays POE constantly and hasnt spend at least $40 bucks. EHG stated that nothing in this game will need to be purchased, so in the end youll save money playing LE not POE.

[sturdy summit]

Good points, and yeah I've played POE for years, I've probably spent about a hundred bucks. Worth it for the time I've invested and the fun I've had.

Anyway, I might just get it. Have a new PC arriving in a week so I'll probably wait until then.

[tall wolf]

Can anyone explain what the extra size is for, and what effect it has?

[boreal zenith]

Most of my skills have dots on them. I've read that this means they have charges... but none of those skills have more than 1 charge. I've read that it means it has a cooldown, but the far right skill does not have a cooldown. The E skill doesn't have a mana cost so it's not that either.

What does it actually indicate?

[sterile bane]

so is this the same for res blessings?

[sinful laurel]

unsure what you mean. that is the calculation for critical strike chance

[sterile bane]

when u have a blessing that is resistance, is it flat resistance?

[sinful laurel]

resistance is just resistance. it is additive with itself and caps at 75%

[sterile bane]

so u can get cap res just from a blessing

[sinful laurel]

yes with a perfect roll on an empowered blessing

[safe harness]

Yup

[sterile bane]

i think i saw 60% once

[sinful laurel]

not bad

[sterile bane]

im starting to think the blessing i have isnt that great but i have to find the right one to replace it

[safe harness]

Story of my life

[surreal verge]

Bigger animal. May influence aggro.

[surreal verge]

Charges and cooldowns, you were right. I have no idea why warpath has one.

[tall wolf]

What aggro??

[boreal zenith]

Hmm okay. It does have a 1s lockout when you cast it to prevent spamming the skill for damage procs so that's probably it.

Sometimes mobs will decide to either hit you or your minions.

[sterile bane]

i shouldve taken it

[static plinth]

Also it's just cool having massive minons

[boreal zenith]

Read here: https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/resources/weavers-will-uniques

Can I see my total penetration stats anywhere? I don't see them listed in the character sheet under any of the sub-headings.

[sterile widget]

It makes the Raptor physically larger

[surreal verge]

nope

Question to all the sentinel players, is lunge still bugged?

[sterile widget]

No

I've only had that Lunge stops early issue happen once in first 50 levels of my character. I believe it was a terrain issue rather than an issue with the skill

Unless you mean a different bug....

[late pollen]

Yea I meant that one. Thanks!

[zealous orchid]

what are some of the most badass armor/weapons in the game?

just some stuff that does really cool things

[knotty tinsel]

hands of judgment

"Gaspar's" item set

ravenous void (giga rare)

most of the newer uniques have spicy effects too

[pallid thistle]

how is playing with controller instead of keyboard (just for moving around, then i can use k+m for menus & stuff) - is there some problematic\unadapt class on controller?

[tawny osprey]

when doing soulfire bastion. does the tier of the dungeon have any impact on what gabling items you can get?

depending on what you choose, you will unlock different monoliths. tho you can unlock the ones you dont have later

[dense crest]

Is it possible to check if an item has weaver's will in a loot filter? or is unique as specific as you can get?

[broken burrow]

no weavers in the filer

[dense crest]

Okay, thanks 🙂

[native sail]

Yes

[cedar locust]

Hello, are you still having this issue?

[stuck quartz]

wanted to play reaper w/ bone golem and bone curse and some other stuff i havent picked yet. i see that reaper has no way to convert to phys and golem has no way to convert to necrotic. should i just convert bone curse to necrotic for scaling and use a regular bone golem or is something else better for that?

[knotty tinsel]

full health is when your health is full

so, 100%

[desert tree]

That's high health

[knotty tinsel]

high health is 65% but same difference

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

[stuck quartz]

does the lich spell leech apply to triggered hits from bone curse?

[knotty tinsel]

Bone Curse is an ailment that has the spell tag, so leech sources that apply to spells should apply to bone curse.

[stuck quartz]

[untold nest]

From which corruption am I supposed to drop double t6 exalts?

[native sail]

None guaranteed.

It's pure RNG

You can get it as early as the first mono if you're really lucky

Or you could never

[untold nest]

So what is corruption for?

[native sail]

Higher rarity = more uniques and more chances of better items

Again

CHANCES

[untold nest]

Ok ty man!

[acoustic crag]

is fire marksman unplayable?
cone appear in front of enemy instead of behind

and cinder strike with bow simply does no damage with first hit

[native sail]

It is bugged iirc

Both of those I think?

[acoustic crag]

i made great choise then i guess

closest i can get?

something range with ele damage

except mage

[native sail]

You could try Smite on Sentinel I suppose

[acoustic crag]

is there pre-built loot fitlers anywhere?

[native sail]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/loot-filters/
Not many atm but there's a tool in here to make one as well

[acoustic crag]

thx

[broken burrow]

i'll be in voice chat if anyone wants some more detailed answers, or a lookover of their build or anything really

[faint quarry]

Does Dreadshade's flat necrotic damage scale off player's necrotic damage or only minions?

[faint cape]

It is a buff to what it's applied to, just like equipment. So if it's applied to minions, it is included in their scaling, but if it's on you it is included in yours.

[candid elm]

There's some basic general ones on the forums https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/0-9-2-heavyz-casual-loot-filters-for-all-classes-v3-1/25176
Which also includes some info on making one. There's also more info on maxroll https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/resources/loot-filter-guide and the maxroll build guides have filters for each one at the end build guide.

[tawny osprey]

Any thoughts on how good Face of the mountain is?

[knotty tinsel]

its good

idk what to say

[native sail]

Filling stability gives you the ability to challenge the boss twice in a row so there's that

[tawny osprey]

is there a way to modify items in lastepochtools, so that they have specific stats?

[dense root]

like exact values?

no

if your goal is to recreate your character you can just import the whole thing though

and then it'll let you use the actual values

[clever echo]

anyone got a build suggestion for the primalist class for a new player (not even bought the game yet XD) maybe a hybrid minion/shapeshift build if thats a thing?

[left onyx]

Does anybody know how to keybind Right Mouse Click to any other action that is not " Ability 5 " ?

Does anybody know where the keybinds of the game are saved ?

Before I could assign Right Mouse Click Button to any action. Now, after the last patch I can't anymore.

[sterile bane]

would shared corruption on every character be something that most ppl want?

[dense root]

no

because my best character can clear much harder content than my worst character

i'd either have to never play characters i don't already have incredible gear for

or i'd have to lower my corruption on all my timelines for the new characters

[sterile bane]

thats what i thought

[copper fable]

Yeah I think the current catch up mechanics and gaze etc make getting corruption a non issue. raising corruption is not really a problem.

[dense root]

i wouldn't mind just having empowered unlocked immediately on alts though

if you have it on an existing character

[sterile bane]

the only shared things i want with my characters is stash and some sort of story progression. def not corruption

[copper fable]

I personally think the devs need to rethink corruption as a resource. I dont think in the modern era of gaming there is much reason for a system of having difficulty scaling being a resource you gain/lower. I think they could do with simply a slider scale you have to do some task to unlock. So by default you could just have 100 to 300 or any point in between. That way people who want to mess around at 300 can freely mingle between that at 100 or 200 etc. And allow you to unlock it in 100 to 200 chunks. Corruption rewards better loot because its harder, not because its exactly a resource you grinded out.

[sterile bane]

its one of the unique features of the game. its not going away, nor should it

[dense root]

i would accept a slider + account wide corruption (or cycle wide corruption i guess once we have cycles)

[copper fable]

it does not have to go away, but I feel like its overly complicated/tedious for no real gain. people who dont want corruption just ignore it, and people who want constantly have problems with not getting it fast enough. Just allowing the player to set their own risk vs reward factor just makes the system make more sense. its already so easy to raise/lower it for the most part, why not just make it seamless.

[dense root]

i don't think we're getting a slider but if we did that would change my thoughts on other things that interact with corruption

you'd likely want to consider adjusting other things too if you add a slider

[copper fable]

Yeah its sorta an end goal, first they need to actually balance corruption which they said they plan to do. put more focus into corruption as the scaling vector and less on modifiers. That way its not so confusing when people show videos of 500 corruption and dont explain "oh yeah I ignore the reward on the tile, and pick based on modifiers" since at 100-300 corruption the opposite is true for most builds, for the most part you can just click tiles for rewards without reading lol.

So then players get to 500+ and try and play like they play at 300 and get stomped by double void enemy damage etc.

"this isnt like the video at all! followed the guide, and have similar gear, why can I barely do 500 and he did 800 wtf"

But thats all post 1.0 stuff im pretty sure. 😛

[sterile bane]

well it has been said several times here that 500cc was suppose to be the highest players reached so if you are playing 500 cc you should know what you are getting into.

[rotund rune]

Are there any early access goodies or it's just to be able to get it earlier and start grinding?

[median river]

hi ! new to the game here, was wondering if there are any oldtimers around here who could help me out a bit , have quite a few questions regarding my runemaster 🙂 ill be down in one of the chat rooms if any1 feels like helping a noob out! 😄

[sterile widget]

People who owned the game prior to 0.9 received a cosmetic amd some cosmetic coins. It is unclear if people who own the game before 1.0 will receive anything specifically.

[sterile widget]

#🧙┃mage might be a good place for specific questions related to RM

[dense crest]

I'm really struggling with Reign of Dragons last boss due to glitching out a lot... I'm playing rampage werebear and I'm finding the arena is making me glitch a lot... I don't seem to be able to proceed at all. Rampage is stuttering start/stopping constantly, I get stuck in fury leap all the time. I don't seem to be lagging it just seems to be in this area... is there anything I can do?

[sterile widget]

There could be bugs with this specific map and that skill. I'd report a bug using in game tool.

The boss is primarily necrotic damage so if you sacrifice other resists for really good move speed you can just run out of the blast

(You can do it on 0% ms, but it's a lot more punishing of mistakes :D)

[dense crest]

Will do the report... I'm trying to slow burn it but almost all my damage is from rampage and it doesn't last long enough to get a single tick. Now just focusing on staying alive while a companion tickles him... it's just very tedious

[sterile widget]

Oof. Yeah that sounds painful alright

If you have an alternate damage skill, you could respec for the fight.

[dense crest]

I'm a homebrew rampage lightning werebear with storm crow, I just have to get used to micro managing my crow out of aoe effects since rampage isn't working here. Hopefully I'll be able to proceed with some practise 😅

[sterile widget]

Good luck 🙂

[rotund rune]

I see, didnt read it anywhere about the bonus goodies on Steam or any other website. Decided to hold off on it until release. What a bummer

anyways, thank you

[faint cape]

Yeah, your 'discovered' blessings don't update unless you rezone (which never happens if you stay in the monolith of fate)

[dense crest]

We did it 🥲 - turns out I didn't notice I had a "enemies heal if not damaged" mod on... cleared that mod and got it next try xD

[faint cape]

Yep, I really wish I could just choose how hard I want the game to be. I wouldn't mind if it was way harder to unlock than it is currently if we were able to choose it freely, or even with minimal cost (like probably we'd need to reset the echo web or whatever, that's fine).

[sterile widget]

Oh man. That would have made it a lot tougher! Nicely done sir 🙂

[spice sandal]

Am I wasting my time running soulfire bastion? I have run it about 10 times in a row and it seems to be the same stuff I get in monos just way slower and infinitely more boring.

[dense root]

the main advantage of that dungeon is the gambler at the end

or if you want uniques that are only from that dungeon

[copper fable]

tbh if you are not after the special uniques both from the gambler or the boss, id run one of the other dungeons or monos. The gambler can very rarely give very cool stuff. but its very specific to the doors and what have you letting you get powerful items sometimes. But for just all encompassing loot, monos is your best bet. Dungeons are more for looking for targeted loot.

[spice sandal]

Ahh I see. Thanks!

[dense root]

tbf sanctum is historically better for exalted items than monos

i haven’t sat down and checked how caches change this equation (for regular monos not arena farming)

[copper fable]

Yes, but of a specific type. for example if you are not looking for just relics, then a relic day door does nothing to help you.

I think once you are into the space where you have all good gear already and need to target farm specific slots with powerful affixes, its time to spend a bunch of keys on a good door. But before then, monos are just gonna give you better loot for that early gearing proccess imo.

[spice sandal]

Sanctum is great! But I use all those keys. Lightless is great but I use all those keys or run out of gold. Bastion keys pile up in my stash because every time I run it I feel like I’m wasting time.

[sterile widget]

Caches drop a bazillion items, including lots of exalted items. I suspect monos are very good value now 😄

[native sail]

Monos are fine in general loot value, I think Sanctum will pretty much always be the go to for targeted exalt farming

[sterile bane]

first you have to farm gold

[stuck quartz]

how does resistance work in this game? menu tip makes it sound kind of weird. do you just have to match your resistance to the enemy level to not take extra damage, eventually capping at 75%?

[buoyant sinew]

well, if you do that you'll take 1x damage from enemies at every level. having closer to 75% resistance still mitigates more damage against level <75 monsters

just yeah, if you have 75% resistance you'll take 0.25x damage from a level 1 monster but 1x damage from a level 75+ monster

[stuck quartz]

ty

[candid elm]

Also not being resistance capped in this game is not as punishing as in other games, such as PoE. I try to get to 75% physical resistance first and then work on the others.

[sterile bane]

Look at your class passives for additional resistance also

[surreal marsh]

What's prob most important is being crit resistance capped

Because it can be punishing

[surreal verge]

Doesn't matter. You get a blessing reroll on quest echo boss kills.

[mint prawn]

I just comeback today, one question please
did dev team remove Rune of shattering from all normal shops? 😂

[surreal verge]

No?

[mint prawn]

do you still get Rune of shattering from normal shop?
I play offline now but do not find any (I used to get a lot of them from normal shops)

[surreal verge]

Yes,at least at the monolith shop.

[mint prawn]

yea, I can still get them from monolith shop too, normal shop I mean shop from village & city in campaign
let me restart the game and check all shops again.

it looks like all shops from village & city in campaign offer the same list of item
if I buy all Rune of shattering from one shop, then they are out of stocks in all shops, need to wait for restock 😂

[zealous orchid]

if im doing my own build how do ik what piece of armor/weapon etc i should try and target farm for??

[dusky kite]

If you mean the uniques, you can look up all uniques in the game, say, at LE tools site, and their drop locations

Otherwise you target the stats you need

in as much as "targeting" applies here

[faint cape]

Yep, this is how it works in offline. All shops are the same inventory, and they only reset once every 15 minutes on zone change (time limit is bypassed by relogging, but is miserable). In online mode, it just resets every zone change (still not worth your time tbh).

[cedar locust]

Hi, were you able to figure this out?

Keybind Settings are on the first page of the Settings Menu, iirc

[hollow flint]

Hey gamers, when I try to do the monoliths it gives me an error "LE-64 Timeline is locked", even tho I got the quests for that monolith to proceed and completed all the previous ones, gives the error on both Black Sun and Blood, Frost and Death, making it impossible to progress. Anyone knows whats that about ? Is my character bricked now ?

[cedar locust]

Have you tried a reload and verifying your steam files?

[hollow flint]

Yeah, everything works on my other chars

Verifying relogging restarting

[cedar locust]

Hmmm, is this Empowered or Normal?

[hollow flint]

Normal ones, just started

[faint cape]

And are you on an online non-solo character?

[hollow flint]

Online, only playing by myself

[faint cape]

If you can party up, someone should be able to unlock monos for you

[hollow flint]

I'll try that

[cedar locust]

Which Timeline has multiple 'endings'?

[hollow flint]

Fall of the outcasts, I did both and it unlock stolen lance but not black sun

and when I compelted stolen lance it didnt unlock blood frost and death

weird stuff

[faint cape]

Yeah, you must have somehow gotten the bridge to open up, right?

[hollow flint]

Bridge is open and quest leads me to the monolith, but wont let me open it up

[frozen robin]

Hey guys, im kind of lost here. Dont know where to go

Im in the council chambers now, one of the doors is rune locked

[faint cape]

Then it's definitely something weird, you shouldn't be able to touch monoliths that you haven't unlocked without using multiplayer to prematurely unlock mono waypoints

[hollow flint]

@frozen robin You'll find purple portals when continuing the campaign that lead you to ancient era, pop in them and kill the boss

[cedar locust]

What other quests do you have? You should have some that take you down paths the opposite side of the chamber to the sealed Rune door - you'll find those portals doing those quests

[frozen robin]

I think I remember those...forgot where tho lol

[hollow flint]

You'll find one in imperial era and another in ruined later way later in the game

[frozen robin]

I think the precipice

Ancient Cavern?

[faint cape]

Yeah, go North if it's open

[faint cape]

but it sounds like you might need to find your way to End of Time to pick your mastery

[cedar locust]

Just checking, did you return to the middle island of the monoliths after beating FotO?

[frozen robin]

I got there already but Im still lvl 15. I think I did the quests out of order

[hollow flint]

@cedar locust Fall of the outcasts is the very first monolith, not sure what you mean. Can't get far enough to get to the one in the middle of them

[faint cape]

If you picked your mastery, then talking to Gaspar in the refuge should let you open the rune door

you have to "talk" to the door

[cedar locust]

Where the vendor and stash are - this 'zone transition' sometimes helps

[frozen robin]

These are my active quests now

[hollow flint]

After I completed the monolith it popped me back outside next to the monolith

[faint cape]

Click on the mastery one and see if you can follow that one

[hollow flint]

But yeah I get what you mean, I did transition around, change locations, etc still nothing, completed the monolith multiple times too just to be sure, nothing

[faint cape]

the gold quests are 'primary' and the blue are side quests that sometimes (like in this case) can't be completed immediately without following primary quests a little more

[cedar locust]

Can I see your quest list? Just in case something pops out

[hollow flint]

@cedar locust

real mystery

[frozen robin]

the quest line is not linear at all. cant seem to follow it

im all over the place it seems

[faint cape]

Huh, even weirder that you don't have the waypoints unlocked

[cedar locust]

Yeah, I've just checked the Quest Overview logs and there's no other pre-req's you haven't hit....

The only other thing to recommend it to run FotO again, twice - making doubly sure your are picking both options once. Retracing your steps can help with other quests so it might help here.

If not the best thing to do is submit a bug report through the in game reporting tool as that will send your player.log data to the team!

[faint cape]

For a workaround, if you join a party and they run you through one echo in The Black Sun and one echo in BFD, that should permanently unlock each for you. I can do it in a little while if you can't find anyone (in a meeting now haha)

It'll be just a little faster than regrinding stability

[hollow flint]

Alright, I'll try that out, sent the bug report too

[cedar locust]

Thank you!

[sullen thunder]

will this game exit beta in december this year or next?

[sinful laurel]

Official statement is this year

[sullen thunder]

no fkin way, i thought it want release next year, this is insane

[sinful laurel]

We will see

[slim scarab]

I also ask here

Which build have a simple way to play and have a good eHP? In these days I realized that I've become old enough for these types of games, I need a good char with High eHP, I'm slow with reflexes of some bosses mechanics.

For example, I see on YT that swarmblade build had the most eHP on game, but I don't know if it's too complex to play.

[sinful laurel]

Imo shadow daggers bladedancer is probably the most braindead gameplay possible once you get it set up

[frozen robin]

I really hate all void mobs

[slim scarab]

Me too. There is a boss with some purple area that explodes after some second, I need to move. He kill me at least 9 times before a ragequit

I try to remember the name

Rahyeh

Can't do correctly the movement

[night sigil]

yo happy travelers, i've been playing LE on and off for almost 3 years, but i haven't touched it in about a year as we wait for release... i was just wondering, if anybody can be arsed to share with me:

A) are they still planning to do a full wipe when the game goes live?

B) is release still slated to happen by the end of 2023?

[native sail]

A full wipe has never been planned for release and yes it is slated by the end of the year

[night sigil]

okay not a full wipe but basically everyone will be rolling fresh characters on release, yeah? like they were going to mak them offline only, or relegate them to non-seasonal realm, or something like that

[surreal verge]

Sent to standard.

[night sigil]

do we know if they're planning to do seasons, and - if so - if launch will coincide with the start of season 1?

[proven edge]

hey guys, i just started playing this game and I keep getting dissconected from the server. Checked on forums about it and it seems that there are few for ppl with this issue but I couldnt find a fix, any ideas how i could fix it?

[faint cape]

Yes and yes. Seasons in this game are currently called "cycles" and the permanent/non-seasonal/standard side of things where all online characters currently reside and seasonal characters will go after their season ends has been called "legacy"

[night sigil]

thank you padre

[vale meadow]

Hey is there a chance this game will go on sale sometime soon, i would love to buy it but i cannot afford it at this moment

[surreal verge]

No

[faint cape]

Not super soon, it will definitely go on sale again (seems like 25% discount is normal), but it will not go on sale again until after 1.0 (which is end of this year)

[native sail]

Yeah, that. So keep an eye on it towards the end of the year/beginning of next year if you need a sale, I'd say.

[vale meadow]

oh sad but i will try and look out for it i guess i will just keep watching streams and all

[faint cape]

If you have it wishlisted on Steam, you can set it up to notify you some way when it goes on sale

[vale meadow]

oh i will look into that

[grim ore]

hello guys....there is no option to hide helm?

[solar raptor]

Is it possible to loot filter for items with Sealed affixes?

[faint cape]

No, hopefully some day

[faint cape]

I don't believe so, unfortunately. Not reliably. They also don't really ever drop.

[native sail]

^ they can't drop

The only source of items with pre-sealed affixes is Soulfire Bastion to my knowledge

[frozen robin]

whats a good mage skill for leveling? using disentegrate now but wondering if there is an easier skill

[faint cape]

I think one of the one-shot caches is still bugged to drop a sealed item

but that's once per character, and most people probably aren't even bothering with it

[native sail]

That should be universal

[pseudo roost]

Hi folks, once I've maxed out the passive point rewards from side quests, is there still a reason to do them?

[native sail]

If you've got all your passives and idols you might as well be done with campaign unless you reaaaally want the +1 all attributes from finishing it

[pseudo roost]

@native sail You get +1 to all attributes by completing all side quests?

[native sail]

Nah, beating the current final boss of the campaign

[pseudo roost]

oh lol alright then I'll just do the final boss then

[faint cape]

And for that, you can run Temporal Sanctum and exit out past the boss to skip to Chapter 9 or get ferried to the Ch9 boss

[solar raptor]

I got a T5 sealed affix item running monos

[faint cape]

From what?

[solar raptor]

one of the new caches

[faint cape]

Well, I know one of the one-shot caches is bugged to drop a sealed item. It's not out of the question that one of the lost caches could be bugged, too.

Do you remember which one?

[solar raptor]

Oh looking at Tunklabs it might have been the bugges chronomancer one

The name isn't exactly the same, it had 'sealed' in its name

[faint cape]

That's the one that's bugged in the campaign, yeah, is that like a variation of that cache that's in monoliths? I'll be honest, I don't always read the cache name in monos to recognize that in monos lol

[solar raptor]

I may have gotten the campaign one and just not noticed the item in my inventory until later

[faint cape]

Does it look like this? This is the one from the campaign (your rolls may vary, but the affixes will be the same):

[raw fern]

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

Check the "Exclusive Echo Rewards"

[spice zenith]

Hey all, random question before I get into Last Epoch. With the multiplayer, is there a kind of economy in the game? Trades, Auction House, etc.. how's it looking if there is one?

[buoyant sinew]

currently there is extremely limited trading. there is a plan for a full auction house + other stuff though, which is meant to be coming in the next few months. see https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/trade-development-update-introducing-merchants-guild-and-circle-of-fortune-factions/51994

[tepid compass]

Is there a minion class / build?

[buoyant sinew]

multiple

[tepid compass]

(And is it "viable")

Fiancee loves minion builds lol

[buoyant sinew]

yeah quite a few of them are very strong

acolyte > necromancer and primalist > beastmaster are both very minion focussed masteries (subclasses)

and there are some other minion builds as well that don't use those

[tepid compass]

Is there a good amount of freedom in them as well?

Or is it like PoE where you kinda have to do a specific thing?

[spice zenith]

Thank you both @dreamy rock and @buoyant sinew !

[tepid compass]

PoE is a bad example of strict

[buoyant sinew]

I'm not sure what you mean honestly. minion mechanics are pretty similar to PoE's, but PoE minion builds feel like they have a lot of freedom IMO

[tepid compass]

Uh

I misunderstood her question xD

I had a thought process with the PoE comparison but she said something else and it vanished from my brain lol

[buoyant sinew]

okay!

in general though, Last Epoch has a lot of build variety but less than PoE

way more than any non-PoE aRPG though

[tepid compass]

tbf, PoE has a small amount that's actually useable at very end game I feel

but I know Last Epoch doesn't even really have end game yet so

[buoyant sinew]

I do not agree with that statement but this probably isn't a good place to have a whole argument about it 😆

yeah currently LE is quite easy unless you want to push very high corruption numbers (endgame monster damage+life scaling), which is rewarding but not exactly necessary

[faint cape]

Definitely more minion builds are viable in this game than PoE (assuming you're wanting to do all content). You can scale basically any minion skill to run all reasonable top end content, i.e. T4 dungeons/arena and up to 300 corruption. Some are definitely better than others, of course, and your comment about lack of much end game is super relevant - so my statement may not hold up over time as they add true pinnacle content, etc.

But for now, you are fine, as long as you are not worried about just trying to run meta builds

[zinc anchor]

I agree with Aedyn.

On the flip side, everything is viable in LE so no matter what you do, you're not going to "ruin your build"

[tepid compass]

Will definitely let her know. She usually isn't worried about meta builds, so she should be cool with that c:

And I literally couldn't care less about meta lmao. ESPECIALLY with there not being an AH or anything right now

Her exact words were "I don't care about viability, just about fun" xD And that's already been answered I think

[faint cape]

Oh yeah, there are some fun and weird builds to mess around with, a few different minion-focused masteries, and at 1.0 we should be getting a new one (falconer)

[dense root]

you can hit 1k at least with minions if you minmax hard enough so i would assume you can do whatever harder content they add in the future too

[knotty tinsel]

Last Epoch is a game of "how silly can I make this build without being an active hindrance to my own progress"

and that line is a lot further out than you might expect

[boreal zenith]

Is the ability to forge anywhere just using your inventory instead of at an actual forge like an EA feature and eventually it will be restricted?

or are the physical forges a vestige of when the system required them?

[native sail]

The latter

[zinc anchor]

I think the latter, the forge is a vesitge of a former system. Why they haven't removed it, I don't know.

[sterile bane]

its a symbol

[inner magnet]

Hey, anyone else had this problem?

[tepid hamlet]

Going to start playing tomorrow. Would you recommend a new player follow a build guide or should I go in organic and blind?

either one is fine. the game has a very forgiving respec system. you just can't change your initial class and mastery.

you're able to remove points from skills or specialize in other skills at any time, although you then have to level the skill back up - but this is very fast. in towns you can undo your passives for just the in game gold, which you'll have tons of.

I started out by just winging it and picking stuff that sounded fun. Later tried out some builds. I was able to get to the end game - monoliths and empowered monoliths by doing both.

[tepid hamlet]

okay sweet! will probably go in blind for my first play through and then run it back following a build guide. thanks!

[zinc anchor]

Yup you can do just fine without a guide. I recommend researching the masteries so you pick one you like as that's the only thing you can't change. Other than that thouh, you'll be fine!

[sterile bane]

dont run in blind. you can test things but know what to look for and what skills are more important. the story with your first character is not going to be easy. on your alt characters itll prob be easier since youll have extra gear you can equip on standby.

i just did whatever and it took till lvl 70ish for me to focus more on one build and the game became much easier then

[faint cape]

It's part of the tutorial and also a reminder that crafting exists. Also just a cute world building thing, I guess

[candid elm]

Hmm, if you have experience with ARPGs the campaign is going to be easy. There's just a few bosses that are going to be difficult. Lagon and Majasa usually.

Hello, can i ask why can't i open the game?

[candid elm]

Recently, I've had to occasionally have Steam verify the game files. Then it will open for me. I'm not sure why that's been happening.

The "Verify integrity of game files" one there. That's been fixing it for me when it won't open.

[hearty stag]

Good, ty for the help i'll try it now

[sly pebble]

Do y’all feel like LE have a variety of builds like a Poe

[native sail]

It does but not as high due to having less total skills and less varied passives.

[sly pebble]

All I been seeing is lightning stuff that’s cool but what else is there @native sail

I tryna play just tryna find that hook

[native sail]

I mean there's fire skills, cold skills, phys, necrotic, poison, and almost exclusively on one class void skills... a lot of skills can be converted from their base element into a different element and some can be used for entirely different purposes than they seem (such as turning Shield Rush from a movement skill into an ignite or bleed build).

Like, I can take Lightning Blast and convert it into a single cast non-chaining cold skill with pretty significant damage, or I can take Summon Scorpion and turn it from a poison minion into one that shoots lightning.
You can take the new base Mage skill, which is cold at base, and convert it into fire or lightning, or you could take something like Detonating Arrow on Marksman and convert it from a lightning skill into cold, fire, or even poison.
You can take Acid Flask and make it into a fire skill, or Umbral Blades and make it cold. There's plenty of ways to look at almost every skill.

[candid elm]

If you want some ideas, you can check builds people upload to https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/
Or the more indepth build guides there https://www.lastepochtools.com/build-guides/
Or the build guides on maxroll https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides
Or check out some streamer's builds.

[native sail]

You can take Cinder Strike and turn it into something to proc a ranged automatic dagger throw instead of using it for direct damage

Like, you have lots of possibilities that I frankly cannot list them all

[sly pebble]

I see

I play bdo and want to give LE a try I’m cool with the rng aspect as bdo is notorious for that and the grinding and going pack after pack, builds are my only concern

But after what you said I have hope

[candid elm]

If you've played other ARPGs, like you mentioned PoE earlier, you'll be fine.

[native sail]

I need to get some sleep as I have somewhere to go in the morning but there's plenty of knowledgeable folks here who can help

[sly pebble]

I’m still a noob but ARPGs and bdo kinda go hand in hand cause you end up doing that same thing: grinding

Different monsters, mechanics, biomes, RNG crafting, etc.

[candid elm]

The crafting in LE is pretty straight forward

[sly pebble]

I would say the same for both games

I think they are similar in a lot of ways

So I’m excited to get into the arpg genre

I think epoch is a perfect median between d4 and Poe

Can we frame and save this post???

[sly pebble]

Lol

Haven’t played the game just yet but I watch a lot of videos @sterile bane

[zinc anchor]

LE has MORE variety than PoE because EVERYTHING is viable. We were just talking aoit that earlier

[dry dove]

do you guys have the feeling the game is slow? Coming from Diable and POE that I used to ZOOM through the content, I am feeling the lack of skills in the skill bar makes the game so slow

[sterile bane]

its not a game to be rushed

[surreal verge]

The devs are trying to prevent "walking sims" so.

[zinc anchor]

Idk, i feel i KILL fast enough. Movement is another issue as movement skills have cooldowns. I've mainly played necromancer and runemaster now but also some beastmaster

[dry dove]

just feel way to clunky and slow... after few minutes playing all I want is to quit and play POE to evaporate some monsters

trying to have the same feeling in Last Epoch but not giving me that feeling

[sterile bane]

its not going to give you the same feeling

its different

[surreal verge]

LE won't really give you that

[dry dove]

yeah very unfortunate that this might not be a game for me 😦

[near path]

It's faster if you're geared up and playing a strong build, but you'll never get the same feel

[sterile bane]

at least it only cost $35

[dry dove]

I am playing minions build

but I spend like all my buttons just with golem / minions

nothing left for fast movement like dash etc

not sure what exactly devs are trying to achieve here with like 1 action bar only

game is again slow and also where are all the visual stuff like explosions, skins, effects etc? lol

POE is so full of lights visual effects, explosions

[sterile widget]

I suggest investigating Transplant

[glad pier]

Hi everyone, I’m just getting started on last epoch after 7 years of PoE and was wondering if there was a French discord available that you’d know of ? Or maybe an English one where newbies are welcome to ask for advices etc. Thanks in advance !

[dry dove]

what is that? I will have a look

[sterile widget]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/transplant

There's also a way to get this to trigger off your minions

[surreal verge]

Your skeleton mages can be made as a 'dash' as well

(Also, most builds use like 2-3 minions)

[sterile widget]

This official one is English, but you can ask for advice here or in the class-specific channels (e.g. #🔱┃sentinel ). There are a few French folks about -- not sure if there is a French-speaking LE discord though 🙂

[boreal zenith]

Confused about how some nodes in the skill spec trees show a mana cost in the long text for a special effect. Since that effect is supposed to happen 'automatically' why does it show mana cost as if I had to have mana to cast it?

[sterile widget]

It will only cast if you can afford to pay the mana cost

[boreal zenith]

So I sat there and watched Consecrated ground end and cast Holy Eruption but my mana did not go down by 7 (and I don't regen fast enough it would have been instant)

[sterile widget]

Are you using something which reduces the mana cost of spells?
