[steel merlin]

your marksman should be like an onion

enemies will cry when they see you

[knotty tinsel]

well your marksman should be like a blade of grass

no layers at all and gets mowed down by a stiff breeze

that's the marksman way

[sinful laurel]

Rogue layers are the layeriest of all the layered layers

Bladedancer*

[knotty tinsel]

good addendum

[steel merlin]

meanwhile sentinel is searching for just one layer

[sinful laurel]

Lol I saved it

That was close

[knotty tinsel]

sentinel tearily coddling its one -10% from nearby enemies node

[steel merlin]

said layer https://tenor.com/view/honest-word-its-honest-work-it-aint-much-it-aint-much-but-its-honest-work-gif-13763573

[sinful laurel]

Or "take all the hits and have a % chance to get some protection for a few seconds"

[knotty tinsel]

can't forget about 1% increased melee damage per hit taken in the last 10 seconds

(a capstone node!!)

[latent canyon]

you are overestimating the shred. even at +70% inc its barely doing more than a deadly

[sinful laurel]

Shhh. It will get nerfed. Don't talk about it

[knotty tinsel]

what if I get 250% and EHG buffs enemy density and I'm not playing a dodge character

[steel merlin]

i dont need shred to die to wengari throwers thank you very much

[knotty tinsel]

What then!!??

[latent canyon]

i meant you need to take a lot of hits to get to +70% inc from negative armor

a LOT

[knotty tinsel]

oh like that

but I like having 60% armor instead of 0 or lower than 0

[latent canyon]

you need 110 stacks on you

that is a lot of armor shred stacks

[pastel pebble]

Meanwhile Druid has fuckin' Bear Aspect

[latent canyon]

at 500c each armor shred mod is like 220%

[knotty tinsel]

if I stand still for 4 seconds I get that much, or at least I've seen it bc I was curious

but I keep moving around and double up on cleanse sources

[latent canyon]

yea thats a lot of hits

[knotty tinsel]

so im really complaining about nothing

[latent canyon]

if you took 4 sec worth of shots and not die

i would say your defense did some real work

[knotty tinsel]

that's werebear baby

[pastel pebble]

Several gangs of roaming wengari do a good bit

[knotty tinsel]

LL gaming

can't we put the wengari in flight mode smh

[steel merlin]

and undead wengari too

the whole wengari family really

[knotty tinsel]

(get it, because... roaming... and the... nevermind)

[pastel pebble]

They stole my milk money

[latent canyon]

and shred wears off like real fast

[knotty tinsel]

that's also true

[latent canyon]

it really isnt as scary as you think it is

😄

[knotty tinsel]

if I do a cool movie dodge into a nearby alcove they're all gone

[knotty tinsel]

I just like turning my brain off ok

me bear me big me melee

[latent canyon]

[steel merlin]

just grab that cleanse belt mod

[knotty tinsel]

I use it

and cleanse on warcry both

[latent canyon]

i would say at that point you should engage dodging. aka moving

not cleansing

XD

[knotty tinsel]

I really should remove cleanse on warcry but I have points to spare so... eh

it even paths through healing

on a lowlife build

very productive

[steel merlin]

it heals that much?

[wicked smelt]

I have a quest that says visit forge in outcast camp. But when i do it the quest does not finish. Any tips?

[pine trail]

So I'm reading the help/guide section on what ward is. If I'm understanding it correctly, it's basically in lamens terms, a shield?

[latent canyon]

basically. and it decays

[pine trail]

Correct, after it decays to 0, your health then is affected

This is an interesting game how they have stuff layed out. I've played a lot of rpg/mmo sort of games, way back since text based days and bbs and 14.4 modems, so I've seen a lot of mechanics. Haven't yet seen anything like these though. So far I'm enjoying it a lot, even as casual play

[buoyant sinew]

it's definitely one of the biggest perks of LE, there are a lot of interesting fresh takes on familiar concepts

[pine trail]

So the idol spots, do those unlock as you level?

[buoyant sinew]

they're from quest rewards

mostly side quests

[pine trail]

Gotcha, so far it's pretty basic as far as what to do and where to go.....can't say it's not user friendly.......poe can be and is confusing in some parts, there is a LOT of stuff to sift thru......still fun but it can be overwhelming for sure

Wish you could set the keybinds though......I have buttons on my mouse I would like to bind

[sterile widget]

Have you checked under settings?

It's called something like change input keys...

Some folks have found thaT they need to use their mouses software to set up binds, but all the buttons on mine can be bound in game

[pine trail]

Nothing like that for me

no input anything

[sterile widget]

I don't have the game in front of me so I can't give better instructions. Definitely look in the settings menu closely. Pretty sure it is Esc > Settings > General tab and the button is near the top of the tab

[pine trail]

Oh doh, its right there LOL, I found it

it's in a little drop down box heh

TY, NOW we're talking!

[sterile widget]

🙂

[vocal plank]

If I have poison damage taken as phys does poison DoT just make me basically bleed? Or is that something completely different

[pine trail]

Looks like I'll have to use the mouse setting software.......middle button won't assign in game so I'll just assign 4 to it in my mouse settings

[sinful laurel]

can you even take poison damage as phys?

[steel merlin]

can you screenshot that mod or something

[vocal plank]

Yea as Sentinal you can take Poison, Void, or Necrotic as phys. You can also take cold and lightning via relics as well

[sinful laurel]

oh yeah sentinel does have those idols

[vocal plank]

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

[sinful laurel]

my guess is it would be taken as physical dot damage, but you likely wouldnt see bleed stacks

[vocal plank]

No it would probably show up as poison still. I just assume it would act like bleed

[sinful laurel]

the weird thing is, without special affixes and items, armor doesnt protect against dots

and thats the whole point of those conversions

[vocal plank]

Oh no I know. I can tank hits very well but can't tank DoT

[native sail]

It would basically just be bleed with different a damage amount and no interaction with anything related to bleed yeah

[vocal plank]

Had about 20k armour and I have trash gear

[sinful laurel]

yeah, that poison damage taken as phys is pretty stupid without the amulet implicit, the new experimental affix or the sentinel relic

[native sail]

Armor doesn't help for DoTs

[steel merlin]

even weirder considering there is no hit poison damage at all

[vocal plank]

I know Deias. I was just melting to poison DoT lol

[steel merlin]

weeeeell there is an advantage!

[sinful laurel]

look at some of the new ways to apply armor to dot mitigation

[steel merlin]

you dont care about the poison shred from poison stacks

[vocal plank]

What amulet implicit?

[sinful laurel]

opal

[native sail]

I think you can honestly be safe dropping like... half that armor, you are hitting the plateau HARD

[sinful laurel]

its not armor related but it can help a lot with dot dmg

[vocal plank]

No I had that armour because of block. I get armour from blocking so it just kinda stacked. I have 2.5k without blocking

[steel merlin]

ah then good

[sinful laurel]

also, welcome to sentinel

[native sail]

Okay that's more reasonable I suppose. Weird to see that actually doing something for once tbh

[vocal plank]

I will say, very tanky lol

[steel merlin]

actually isnt

[sinful laurel]

against one specific type of damage in one way lol

[vocal plank]

It is in the beginning at least. I'm only lvl 66

[sinful laurel]

yeah sentinel is a breeze in campaign and early monos honestly

[buoyant sinew]

why would you use twisted heart and exsanguinous on the same build? I have to be missing something. context: https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/5BxXLlnB

[vocal plank]

Yea the only reason I have died is due to necrotic damage and poison so I'm just farming low to fix res

[sinful laurel]

you wouldnt

[dusky moss]

more degen, more ward regen

[rugged sinew]

does dragonflame nova scale off of player or minion damage?

[native sail]

Sentinel needs help for mid to late game pretty bad still. Yeah sure, there's like three builds that can push but they also basically can't be hit by anything that isn't range

[rugged sinew]

this

[buoyant sinew]

but exsanguinous wants missing health and twisted heart wants full health

[pine trail]

Anyone here by chance using a logitech 502 lightspeed mouse? I am so so confused on how to set up profiles for games to use the keys for certain games

[vocal plank]

I'm captain epoch. Fun for now

[sinful laurel]

the only reason is for the big % health implicit

the rest is useless for exsang low life

i mean level of elem spells helps, but the ward stuff does nothing

[native sail]

I'm not sure thats worth it at all

[sinful laurel]

its not

[steel merlin]

description should be minion damage chainezo

[dusky moss]

good catch, i was trying to pair them on another charectar xD

[rugged sinew]

i know, but it's LE

[steel merlin]

i mean maybe you get more ward with the combination if you have big leech

[sinful laurel]

any amount of leech with exsang murders it

[steel merlin]

half the time people say "its le" its people not reading well though

[buoyant sinew]

yeah I'm watching the companion video to that planner and they're just full life all the time because of the bleeding heart

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[sinful laurel]

then exsang is pointless haha

[buoyant sinew]

yep

[sinful laurel]

twisted heart is extremely strong

[native sail]

I was gonna say wtf is the point of Exsan then

[sinful laurel]

but you use it on a high leech, fast casting spell build

[buoyant sinew]

the build seems sensible overall but man that exsanguinous was throwing me for a loop

[steel merlin]

for when you arent hitting i guess

like a ward starter?

[native sail]

Just equip Shackles and have decent cast speed

[sinful laurel]

i dont think even that is worth it, because as you start you will cross a threshold where BOTH your ward and health are very low lol

seems highly sketch

[native sail]

Plus on a well made Heart build you have like 3k+ health anyway

[dense root]

i’ve been wondering if twisted heart is good even when you aren’t getting ward

like it has up to 20% increased health and 16 strength

[sinful laurel]

it definitely has its uses

[dense root]

those would both be exalted affixes on a normal item

[sinful laurel]

outside of ward

[steel merlin]

checked server log and the nova does scale with minions 100%

[sinful laurel]

just not in direct contradiction to another ward mechanic 😉

[native sail]

I don't think I'd use it in a build that isn't built around it, I would just prefer a different relic then

[rugged sinew]

well i tested it
figured out it would be easy with gamblers fallacy

it does scale of player stats not minion :(

[steel merlin]

what

[native sail]

That sounds like something might be wrong?

Is it time for another round of Dragonflame questions in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs ?

[steel merlin]

everywhere i see it says that it scales with minions

[rugged sinew]

try it out with fallacy and casting skeletons

it consumes the 100% crit buff and does a yellow number

also putting points in more damage nodes in skeletons doesn't increase the yellow number

[steel merlin]

thats a neat use of gamblers fallacy

[rugged sinew]

damn

i was really hyped for a second

thinking i had found a cool build :(

[muted mirage]

i have a question regarding a build.
can i link a guide here?

[buoyant sinew]

go ahead

[muted mirage]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/hydrahedron-runemaster-guide
it says to put points into celestial doom

but i dont understand where i get brands from?

[buoyant sinew]

brand the invaders node in frost wall

[pine trail]

Not sure what I like more, single wolf or 2x lightning crows

[muted mirage]

alright thanks...overlooked that

[steel merlin]

there is also a brand in the tree

[dusky moss]

this make it sound like if i hit with a meele skill, the passed 4 seconds did more dmg, but it should make the next 4 secs do more dmg ?

[faint cape]

Absolutely a bug, imo test it again with fallacy and then report using the in game tool so they can kinda capture results of that testing

[shy frost]

Can i trigger Runic Invocations lightning rune if for example my Flame Reave have lightning tag?

[faint cape]

Yeah, you can't convert it 100% though, so it'll give you either a fire or a lightning rune

[shy frost]

Thanks

[faint cape]

The buff applies if you've hit in the past 4 seconds, the buff doesn't apply in reverse time 4 seconds

[muted mirage]

does anyone know if resigning mouse keys is bugged?
it keeps telling me i cant remap it even though i removed it

[sinful laurel]

Only if you're a void knight 😉

[dusky moss]

ahh okay, makes more sense 🙂

[faint cape]

Remapping them is kinda buggy iirc, if you remap them outside of the game somehow, it should work even though that's super janky

[dusky moss]

ohh i just proced it so yea it works like yousay xD

[muted mirage]

unfortunate
i willl just have to get used to the new layout

because runemaster needs a certain order and i changed elements

[faint cape]

Yeah, that is fairly common wording in this game - it's an alternate way to say the same thing as "when you do X, you get Y buff for 4 seconds" while specifically implying that the buff cannot stack

[dusky moss]

okay good to know, thx for your time 🙂

[pine trail]

adding and upgrading affixes helped EMENSLY.......was retty squishy before

[dark lion]

multiplayer gameplay fixed already?

[tame yacht]

what is this for?

[lethal dawn]

destroys your skellies

to do dmg

phsyical dmg

[tame yacht]

🤔

[lethal dawn]

basically

he explodes your skeletons

to do dmg around them

[native sail]

Alternatively, self cast Sacrifice and make it actually do something

[lethal dawn]

i am experiencing extreme lag back man

its making it impossible for me to echos

i run and it just feels like my cahrac is running on a treadmill at the same place

meanwhile i am getting bombarded by meteors

[knotty tinsel]

skelemage sacrifice should really have its own name

it's like, intentionally misleading

[lethal dawn]

good orbad

[buoyant sinew]

it's a very good build around item

basically allows you to have a build where spark charges are your main damage

[lethal dawn]

[lethal dawn]

nice

[pine trail]

Is it possible to change out an affix, like damage over time, for melee damage crit?

[lethal dawn]

i think there was

[buoyant sinew]

you can't just straight swap them like that. you can either use a rune of removal and pray the right affix gets removed, or use a glyph of chaos and pray you reroll into the affix you want

[lethal dawn]

which build uses this?

[buoyant sinew]

shatter strike and cold crit werebear have definitely used it

I'm not sure how good either build is

[lethal dawn]

why

are my skill lvls not increasing after 18

no matter if i do 60 mono or lvl 90 mono

the skill exp on bar stays the same

[native sail]

Level gating. What's your character level?

[lethal dawn]

66

[native sail]

You're gonna be stuck there for a while

[lethal dawn]

plz no

[native sail]

You'll be close to 20s at about 75

[lethal dawn]

sigh

WTF

this sounds op

[sinful laurel]

unfortunately its not as

OP as it looks

its just good

[lethal dawn]

:/

this good?

dosnt look good

[native sail]

It is good for bleed squirrels but you want LP really

[lethal dawn]

[wicked smelt]

Was doing last arbor dungeon. Went through a door. And when loading was done, me and my friend where both dead. A bug? Or did our character load into enemies before we could even play?

[native sail]

It's a bug with the invulnerability iirc

[lethal dawn]

this looks good

[sinful laurel]

its fun

[prime vortex]

theres a build utilize that specific item

look for melee detonating arrow build

[lethal dawn]

ok

[ocean bobcat]

are Singularity Idols worth using?

[sinful laurel]

no

[ocean bobcat]

how come?

[sinful laurel]

because eliminating all crit is almost universally not worth it for any hit build, and it doesnt benefit dot builds at all

[buoyant sinew]

there are like one or two builds where it's arguable

but it's so rare that crit isn't just obviously much much better

[analog isle]

bleed....squirrels?

[native sail]

Bleed squirrels

[native sail]

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

[analog isle]

they gotta do bunnies next

I want a bunny army

[steel merlin]

The lightning wolves helmet changes wolves visually?

[native sail]

It does!

They get... purple-y

[steel merlin]

Well I'll check ingame tomorrow

[dense root]

purple wolves sound cool

[dry narwhal]

the node on the tree to make them lightning does it too

[dawn otter]

How does the node Jade Quiver work with a channeled bow attack like fury? Does it sustain the 60% poison on hit and increased critical strike chance until I cancel the flurry?

[faint cape]

It should work for one flurry cycle (3 shots), but I think flurry snapshots some stuff for the whole channel, maybe

[sinful laurel]

It snapshots jade arrows bonuses for the whole channel

[dawn otter]

Thanks

[sinful laurel]

It snapshots all bonuses for the whole channel in fact

All I've tested at least

[boreal zenith]

Does a rune of Ascendence take my current level into account, or can it give me above my current level?

[vague cloak]

Are there any way to quickly move items from one stash tab to another? or is it just annoying click item, click other tab, click to place...

[sinful laurel]

Agnostic to item level or your level. Can make any non boss unique of the same base

[surreal verge]

Shift left/right click

[sterile widget]

In additionto what Primeval said, It has a flat reduction on chance for legendary potential

[ionic mica]

should i be resetting the echo web as soon as an oroboys is avaible, or is there benefit to expanding the web further

also, what prupose do the option quest echos actually do

[dawn otter]

Can I turn off other people's animation except mine?

[distant compass]

Do drop rate blessings apply to uniques as well?

[sinful laurel]

The unique one does

[distant compass]

i mean if i got drop rate dagger blessing, will it be more unique daggers from all the uniques im getting

[sinful laurel]

Overall yes, pretty sure

[distant compass]

ty)

[unborn ether]

hello. are rogue bow builds viable?

[icy drift]

Viable is relative but yes you can do pretty well on them unless you want to push really high corruption

[dusky kite]

actually it won't, the game first rolls if you get a unique or not, and then it rolls for the item within the unique pool and the blessing does not apply at that step

[upper oracle]

Whats the better summoner, beastmaster or necro?

[analog isle]

question about cinderstrike
it has physical in its scaling
the fire damage nodes in the tree use the language "added fire damage"
so physical should scale the hit just fine it looks liek (maybe Im wrong)

but.....does phys scaling also scale the ignite damage? or just the hit scaling?

[sterile widget]

Without looking at the tree Added fire damage would not be the same as physical damage.

[analog isle]

but "added" is not scaling with prior fire affixes

so if you have +100 phys or +100 fire then you add extra fire to either of those its the same, no?

but wiki is saying ignite only scaled on fire/dot/inc damage etc so seems to be no point in aiming for phys affixes

[sterile widget]

I checked the skill on LE Tools. The base damage is one phys and 1 fire.

[analog isle]

I guess unless you want to use cinder strike w/o ignites

[sterile widget]

So any Physical damage scaling will only apply to the Physical portion (and Fire scaling to Fire damage portion)

To the hit, specifically

[analog isle]

ok but isnt this a bit irrelevant though bc youll always only have affixes that use phys/fire/or mixing

it applies both the physical and fire portions simultaneously Id assume

[sterile widget]

Yes simultaneously

[analog isle]

guess I should just go for all fire affixes on gear then bc I think I wanna go ignite route

[sterile widget]

Increased fire damage and damage over time are your friends for ignite build, yup 🙂

[sterile widget]

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

[analog isle]

this is so imporant to know

[sterile widget]

Here's the base damage and details for ignite

[analog isle]

so 100 over 2.5 secs

guess I gotta also get as many stacks as possible

Im used to POE where the hit damage is what scaled the dot ailment

[sterile widget]

Oh. I didn't know that about PoE. Didn't get in to it. 11 hours all before 2014 😄

[analog isle]

so what Im reading on reddit is that all the inc affixes dont matter
like inc damage generic is equivalent to inc fire damage over time etc

[sterile widget]

They have different affix ranges

[analog isle]

ah true...

verrrrry good point

[sterile widget]

The available affix locations for DoT and Generic, Elemental, etc differ too I believe.

[analog isle]

yeah I have an idea now thanks for the help

[sterile widget]

No problemo

Good luck 🙂

[warped vortex]

Heya little question, can we get weaver will item with rune of ascendance ? i don't remember^^

[surreal verge]

Yes.

[warped vortex]

thank you ! 🙂

[timber temple]

do modifiers like fire damage or health on kill on weapons apply to spells, or only melee attacks

[surreal verge]

If it's not specified, it applies to everything.

Eg. Increased fire damage applies to all fire melee, fire spell, fire throwing, fire bow, ignite

[timber temple]

ok cool

[dusky kite]

bm is deemed to be more outdated by design but the only really outstanding minion build on necro is wraiths I think

You can play both at a reasonable level of corruption

[sweet forge]

I have 13 Rune of Ascendance, I've been farming for Cycle of Putrescene but it hasn't dropped. Can you let me know if it's ok to use the runes on rings?

[sterile widget]

You can use the RoA on any of the standard item types and the item will be converted to a unique of the same type (ring to ring, 1h sword to 1h sword).

However, it will only convert to a world drop. That is, an RoA will not produce a boss-specific unique.

The conversion is treated as if the area level was 100 and has a flat reduction in chance for Legendary Potential

.
Cycle of Putrescense is a random world drop with a Legendary Potential Level of 66.

You can get it from Rune of Ascendance, but it is unlikely you would get LP and extremely unlikely you would get more than 1.

Bear in mind that there are 13 unique rings which are world drops, so the chances of getting it are still quite low for any given Rune of Ascendance

[storm blaze]

And there's also the set rings

[wicked smelt]

I dont understand how to calculate damage as a necro. how do i know if golem or 6 archers is better? It displays no damage for any of them

[jolly karma]

How do you deal with 1 shots in this game? I just entered a level 100 monolith and the first pack of mobs chunked me before i could do anything.

I play a hammer throw bleed paladin with 2200hp, 75% in all res, 50% endurance, 550 endurance threshold, 32% block, 30% block effectiveness, 29% armor, 120% crit avoidance

[icy drift]

do you have any nasty echo modifiers? stacking a few damage mods will cause the enemies to demolish basically any build in the game

[jolly karma]

That could have been it tbh, my game crashed when i died, so i never saw what type of damage i took either unfortunately. I'll try to pay more attention to the modifiers!

[icy drift]

yeah, some that give a certain type of enemies like 75% or 100% increased damage will do it, especially if you have several

there's also Deadly which is double damage iirc, and death mark which is -25% all res

[jolly karma]

Good to know, i need to be more aware of the monos i enter then. Appreciate the good response btw, there's been lots of "get good" or "this game is not for you" in here lately.

[icy drift]

np, as someone that plays almost exclusively glass cannon builds (i have 990 hp right now at 200 corruption), i can understand the pain :p

[jolly karma]

Oh man, I'm on my 5th or 6th build now, each one keeps getting tankier and tanker, i don't even know what DPS looks like anymore 🥲

[icy drift]

feast your eyes, this is a while ago though, not even 200c

[jolly karma]

Holy crap, that was awesome 😄

[icy drift]

as long as the enemy dies before you, you're tanky enough

[jolly karma]

How's clear with that though?

[icy drift]

good, you just go around one tapping everything basically

[native sail]

"this game is not for you"

I use this for people who are evidently looking for a game that hits the MMO style more than ARPG. People who clamor for features that really don't have a purpose for the genre. I have no problems answering genuine questions or giving advice.

[icy drift]

and then just beg you dont get stunlocked

[jolly karma]

You play a dangerous game my friend

[icy drift]

.

[icy drift]

here's an echo, i kinda speedran it though so it could fit in here lul

but yeah you see how the literal first hit i took stunned me lol, without flame ward on stun i die a ton to stuns

[jolly karma]

That's a lot faster than my clear and you don't seem to be at any risk during the run?

I play bleed, so i guess i need some ramp time too..

[jolly karma]

Yeah true, is that something you can build around?

[icy drift]

not really sadly, a lot of my slots are taken up by uniques so i'd need to get really lucky with legendary slams. but i do have a bit of space to get more hp and stuff, but i'll always get stunned most likely

that's why i have to use the flame ward cast on stun node and i don't take any of the damage nodes for it

it's like the majority of my defense, since if a hit is big enough to chunk me it'll most likely also stun me and trigger flame ward

otherwise i just have a lot of leech because i deal quite a bit of damage. i actually damage myself every time i hit something (you can see that i bleed quite a bit)

[jolly karma]

This is what makes this game fun too, seeing these quirky builds 👌

Do you plan on uploading it to lastepochtools?

[icy drift]

maybe once i get it in a better spot, i have tons of improvements to make still

character isn't even level 100 yet. i have anathor build that also deals millions of dps but that one is hopeless in the defense department, this one atleast has a glimmer of hope with the ward generation, and with enough mana i could maybe use lost knowledge

basically it's still a work in progress

[jolly karma]

Look forward to seeing and maybe even trying it!

[fickle glade]

it turned out to be my local connection issues

[cedar locust]

Ah, hope they got solved quickly for you!

[icy drift]

this is a prime example of what to not run lul

[jolly karma]

I suspect it was something similar for me, cos they just ate me up 😂

[barren topaz]

why is this item not showing pink?

[surreal verge]

Loot filter only applies on the floor.

[barren topaz]

Sorry I don't get it... what floor?

[dense root]

like on the ground

not in your inventory

the place items go when they drop

[barren topaz]

yea ok I get that

the item is on the ground

first image top left

[dense root]

oh sure

the inventory screen being open confused me

can you post an image with the list of your filter rules

[barren topaz]

sorry, I just meant to show that it does have Spell Damage

[dense root]

i think i know what’s happening

but want to double check

[barren topaz]

like this?

[native sail]

Is that set to recolor or just show? Am I losing it?

[dense root]

it looks like show yeah

just wanted to make sure it wasn’t that the rule was being overwritten by something else anyway

[barren topaz]

ah yea that was it

thank you

[native sail]

:P

[barren topaz]

maybe unnecessary that I have to change it there, but it was the first time that I added a rule manually, so I wondered... thanks again! 🙂

[native sail]

No problem. Easy to look over.

[barren topaz]

just came back to the game quite recently and I have to say that not just the game is awesome, but also the community... so helpful and patient and quick... I will try to pass it on to the next players ^^

[stone ferry]

Me and a friend have tried twice this week to game with eachother, game zones are loading super slow, both of us getting lost connections and so on, this is literally unplayable, what's going on?

[dusky kite]

This sounds reasonable for 100 corr, one ranged pack should not delete you with these defenses. Might be lag/desync related.

[dense root]

multiplayer is sort of a work in progress

it functions but the loading times are not great, especially in campaign zones

they’re working on it

[stone ferry]

so hopefully it will get fixed in v1

[dense root]

i suspect it will take a bit longer than that but definitely it’s something they’ve been trying to improve

[stone ferry]

Yeah, me and my friend will refund the game for now

hopefully they fix this issue

[dusky kite]

don't worry once the game releases and the community balloons with the usual arpg type of player you'll get the toxicity you are currently missing

[native sail]

#arpg-discussion flashbacks

[dusky kite]

lol what do you want me to check next, "#dota2_lol-discussion"?

#CS2_ru?

[native sail]

Fear

[barren topaz]

well that sounds like something to look forward to 😄

[barren topaz]

maybe google D4 ^^

[dusky kite]

Can't have a toxic community if you have no community

4head

[barren topaz]

after you unlock the Empowered Monolith, do you focus on improving your gear through target farming certain timelines or do you focus on fixing your Blessings? (of course when you are running around with a stick as your weapon, then that's a priority)

[dusky kite]

it depends but usually I'd go for blessings first

but farming a (near) perfect blessing roll is rarely worthwhile

too much time investment

[barren topaz]

yea I think so too... but just like getting rid of the Blessing that gives me Chance to find Bows as Necromancer for example

[cinder burrow]

Hey i am using boundless bow in flurry that lest me channel it. If i proc arrow storm when i press flurry, will it increase my flurry speed? Or do i need ot press flurry once and then once again so that it snapshots the attack speed that i gained from the firs flurry buff proc?

[leaden tundra]

which one gonna make me tankier?

[barren topaz]

the right one, if you have enough resistances

[spare finch]

hey

Hello. My name is Mustafa. I'm looking for a server belonging to Turks. Is there anyone I can reach on discord?

[leaden tundra]

thanks

[tame yacht]

does this node makes it gain less mana, or makes it just aditionally add ward?

[candid elm]

Reads like the first. Some of the main gain is turned into ward gain.

[surreal verge]

Some mana gain becomes ward gain

[icy drift]

you loose some mana gain and get some ward gain

[leaden tundra]

is this a bad affix?

[dense root]

no

you need multiple of it to make the most of it though

since you really want to be taking no bonus damage from crits

(or at least close to no bonus damage if getting to 100 is too hard. 90 would be fine probably for example)

[leaden tundra]

but if u have 100% crit strik avoidance

[dense root]

you take one or the other

[leaden tundra]

oh

i see

[dense root]

if you capped crit avoid don’t use it

[leaden tundra]

so 100 in either works

[dense root]

with capped crit avoid you’ll never be crit so it doesn’t matter how much a crit deals

[leaden tundra]

well lolol

[tall wolf]

When I learn the Frigid wings skill, the Aspect of the crow skill increases melee and is the spell lightning or cold???

[surreal verge]

Aspect of the crow doesn't get changed afaik

[tall wolf]

Can you explain more? Is adding points to myself lightning???

[surreal verge]

It'll still give melee and spell lightning damage.

And crows are now cold.

[tall wolf]

Tks

[unborn ether]

are there any updates regarding the lost connection issues?

[fresh sapphire]

I'm just getting started in monoliths now. I have a bunch of stash tabs filled with gear I picked up based on loot filter, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with the items that aren't upgrades or good for other classes. Do I vendor them?

[fiery plinth]

I'm getting through monoliths for the first time, and running into some trouble at Ending the Storm. I'm a little underlevelled for it (68 atm), and I keep getting one-shot. I can scrape through, but it's a bit of a slog.

Should I generally expect to need to level up a bit to do the higher level monoliths? Or is getting one shot like this a sign that I'm doing something else wrong?

[fiery plinth]

If you need the affixes that are on them, shatter them. If you don't, vendor them. Vendor value is very low for most gear though, you might want to edit your loot filter if you're getting a lot of useless items.

[faint cape]

No, you should not have to level up. Your largest power bumps at this point in the game will come from equipment, and yes this is a sign that you've neglected your defenses. You may also need to watch out what enemy modifiers you are picking in the web.

[lost jasper]

can you put any exalted affix onto any LP piece? 😄

[surreal verge]

Yes, but er, LP crafting takes X amount of affix randomly.

[faint cape]

Not exactly, you're limited to what affixes you could normally get on that item type, since those are the only items you can combine

[candid elm]

It has to be the same general base item. Like Boots -> Boots. 2H Axe -> 2H Axe. The Exalted used must have 4 affixes. Sealed affixes are not counted or used. 1 LP means 1 affix is randomly selected from the 4 and transferred. 2 LP is 2. Up to 4 LP when they are all transferred.

[lost jasper]

so technically you could add idk like crit chance on a piece that usually wouldn't allow to have CC

isee

thx

[surreal verge]

Errrr. You missed the : LP needs same item type: Boots with boots.

[fiery plinth]

Good to know, thank you!

[knotty tinsel]

Does Runic Invocation penetration apply to ailments that the invocation applies? (Or other similar effects for that matter)

[and ignoring that the values arent correct rn]

[icy drift]

Btw, and I don't mean to be a dick, just genuinely trying to help. If you're on windows you can press shift+win+s to take a screen cap of a certain area, and it'll copy to clipboard. I'm sure there's something similar on Mac

Instead of taking a photo with your phone

[dusky moss]

Shift, command, 4, and space bar

i think

[vale meadow]

hez anz paladin main that doesnt mind hopping into vc with me and help me with what i am doing right now (shield throw smite) i am new to the game so would apreciate any help eitherway

[candid elm]

I'm at work and can't voice chat right now, but looking at maxroll there's a number of Paladin guides https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides?filter[classes][taxonomy]=taxonomies.classes&filter[classes][value]=sentinel and one that mentions Smite Shield Throw https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/smite-shield-throw-guide if you wanted to check that out

Also looks like by setting Paladin + Smite + Shield throw on LE Tools, there's some possibilities here as well https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/filter/skill=shield_throw+smite&mastery=paladin edit: actually these may all be out of date

[faint cape]

Yes. Definitely how it works for similar effects, but there's always the chance for bugs. 😂

[vale meadow]

9ive been hearing a lot of mixed thigns about maxroll to be honest

[tall wolf]

i don't use discord on pc

[slender harbor]

is doing the campaign again the best way to level alts?

[faint cape]

You have to do some of the campaign to get idol slots and passives, but once you have all that people typically go straight to monoliths

[slender harbor]

thanks for the info

[candid elm]

Like what? The guides I've tried there have been up to date. They're very clear about if a certain unique or idols are required for the build. Like that Smite Shield Throw guide says it requires certain idols.

[vale meadow]

yeah but i dont have anything

[candid elm]

Are you into level 70+ or still leveling?

[vale meadow]

lvl 77

[candid elm]

Maybe check out one of those other Paladin guides then. Sentinel section:https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides?filter[classes][taxonomy]=taxonomies.classes&filter[classes][value]=sentinel
They say on the first page if they require anything. If you see something like: "It does require Idols with Chance To Cast Smite When You Hit With Throwing Attacks so make sure you have these before trying to play it!"
then maybe you look into trying that later once you have those items/idols.

Briefly looking through them, only the Smite Shield Throw says it has required items. The Bleed Hammerdin guide has a non-unique and unique setup. A few mention that they can get extra damage with Idols/Uniques, but they aren't required.

There's also a Paladin build guide on LE Tools https://www.lastepochtools.com/build-guides/judgement-aura-paladin and some links to other people's build here https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/filter/mastery=paladin

[vale meadow]

thank you!

[fickle glade]

anyone knows if t7 affixes only drop in empowered timelines?

[steel merlin]

@languid wind just to be sure because of your reaction to mike comment, additive is the worse stack

[languid wind]

Yup, I know

I was thinking I've discovered a really really dumb combo but I didn't, still looking

[balmy current]

They're lvl 90+, so no, not quite.

[fickle glade]

so at and beyond the last three normal timelines?

[dusky kite]

Yes but the difference in loot quality between normal and empowered is much bigger than the difference in difficulty, so farming normal monos for.. anything, really, is pointless

[fickle glade]

got it

im just wondering when it starts dropping cuz im doing the last of the three normal timelines to unlock empowered

[haughty pewter]

can hail of arrow crit? cant see it crit nor that it says, i do see a jump in numbers every so ofter but im unaware if its a passive or not

[sinful laurel]

Hail of arrows doesn't hit unless you take the burst node, so no it can't crit

[haughty pewter]

is this the burst node?

[sinful laurel]

No. Sky strike

[haughty pewter]

yeah that doesnt feel good, thanks for help! need to remove all my crit nodes

[sinful laurel]

Nope it doesn't lol

Def not worth

[boreal zenith]

I notice I can slot both a Glyph of Chaos and a Rune of Removal simultaneously in the forge UI. Will that... do anything besides the normal Removal mechanic?

[candid elm]

I believe Chaos only works when you're upgrading. You can use Hope with Removal, though, to possibly save FP if you were going to be doing additional crafting

[haughty pewter]

looks like sharpshooter node doesnt work with hail of arrow

[near path]

Probably because Hail is not classified as a Hit

It's damage over time

(counterintuitive as it may seem)

[haughty pewter]

youre on to something

[near path]

Hail is just a weird skill overall

[sinful laurel]

I feel like we already went over this lol

[haughty pewter]

oh, my bad

[abstract prairie]

how does merophage affix absorption work? does it only happen once or does it replace affixes each time i shatter something?

[native sail]

Every time you shatter a two hand sword with Merophage equipped it will replace the affixes

[knotty tinsel]

you can keep replacing the affixes on the same merophage

you can also get the ones you want and then shatter a 2 handed sword and forget to unequip it

🙃

[abstract prairie]

lol that's exactly what i was afraid of

[knotty tinsel]

randomly shattering items isn't something I do a lot tbf

but its the worst case scenario for sure

[abstract prairie]

looks like it doesnt keep the same affix tiers either. there goes 300% void melee

[knotty tinsel]

nope, random every time

[abstract prairie]

welp guess i'll put this in a stash tab and never look at it again, thanks guys :p

[faint cape]

Yeah, it's a gamble. Basically when you shatter the sword, the affixes it has are the max. Could give you anywhere from just one T1 affix to all the affixes you shattered at the tiers they were.

There's a strategy, and that strategy is to get lucky with a weapon that has triple prefixes

[knotty hinge]

Question, so I have the experimental boots with the travers for minions, I have an archmage (and this skill counts as traversal node) I took off all the points from the archmage traversal node and now only the archmage follows me.

shouldn't it count the amount of minions to travel with me from the boots?

[faint cape]

It's bugged, this affix doesn't work at all with skelemage

[knotty hinge]

ok great, so no need to report it

[long topaz]

can someone pls help me figure out how to buil dmy character and how to adjus tmy loot? im getting waaaaay to much loot

i have made a loot filter but it still shows me stuff i dont want

[grave quiver]

how do i increase my corruption level?

[native sail]

Step 1) reach empowered timelines because it's worthless in normals
Step 2) push as far from the center as you can
Step 2.1) optionally, kill the timeline boss a few times for some bonus corruption on your next Shade of Orobyss kill
Step 3) kill a Shade of Orobyss

[grave quiver]

ty

[candid elm]

If you'd like to look at some guides, there's some basic general filters 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 a filter. There's also additional info on making filters on maxroll https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/resources/loot-filter-guide and the maxroll build guides have filters for each build on the last page of the build guides.

[long topaz]

thnk you so much

[maiden hollow]

Anyone know if there's an ability similar to the wave of light monk from D3?

[ionic mica]

Question, I have the prismatic gave, which can trigger the release of the shards with runic invocation, but why wont they release when i cast runic invocation through flame rush?

[native sail]

Because anything that says "when you use" means direct cast not trigger

[ionic mica]

ah i see

odd, occasionally a 3 runed runic invocation still wont release them

[analog isle]

question: det arrow says "bow attack" in scaling tags
however this link

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/category/bows/prefixes

shows no "bow attack" affixes

would the +40 on this bow apply to det arrow scaling?

[native sail]

(Click basic)

[analog isle]

bc it says its bow physical

but its also bow...

[faint cape]

All "bow" stuff is an attack

[native sail]

You're showing only uniques in that search

[analog isle]

well the point is the same there is no bow attack affix

[native sail]

So just click basic and search "bow"

Because "bow attack" isn't a thing since all bow skills are attacks

So it's just bow

[analog isle]

bow physical applies to bow attack?

[native sail]

Bow physical, bow lightning, etc

Yeah

All bow skills are attacks

[analog isle]

but surely bow fire doesnt apply to det arrow bc its lightning?

or does it?

[native sail]

So adding attack is redundant

[faint cape]

Bow anything applies to bow attacks, because they are the same

[native sail]

Flat fire would add to DA. Increased will not scale anything except that flat fire though.

[analog isle]

so this unique has bow fire, bow lightning, bow cold

all of it applies to det arrow damage?

[native sail]

Flat damage always adds to all applicable skills even if the skill is not inherently that element

[analog isle]

as added?

[analog isle]

ok thanks

[ionic mica]

is resistance penetration a very strong stst in LE?

[dense root]

yes

[ionic mica]

wondering how impactful the prismatic shards form prismatic gavze are

[sterile widget]

Penetration can result in negative resistance for the enemy, permitting your damage to scale further

Technicality, but Prism shards from that unique apply a shredding ailment, not penetration.

For the purposes of damaging enemies, this only matters if the enemy has resistance to that damage type (and most don't)

[ionic mica]

so the shards are effectivly extra pen if i can trigger them

[sterile widget]

Yeah. The shards will help you do more damage 🙂

[ionic mica]

TY

[median siren]

Is poison considered elemental?

And are fire and ignite considered the same element.

[sterile widget]

Nopes

[native sail]

Elemental is cold, fire, and lightning

[median siren]

Are effects like chill considered elemental or just statuses

[native sail]

Ignite is fire damage over time

[sterile widget]

Chill is an Ailment. Cold is a damage type, which is Elemental

[native sail]

Chill actually has no tags

It's just an ailment

[analog isle]

you can still inflict chill w.o cold tho

[native sail]

Yup

Ailments aren't reliant on the damage type of the applier

[sterile widget]

Maxroll has a good guide on ailments if you are happy to read

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/resources/ailments-explained

[ionic mica]

hm, other than the training dummy, there is no easy way to tell dps? trying to figure out if the prismatic gaze is better than my old helmet

[sterile widget]

Training dummy is your best bet if you don't have spreadsheets

If you desperately want a spreadsheet, I can link you one that was put together by a forum-goer

(For real, dummy will be faster to check it though until you have set up the spreadsheet once :D)

[ionic mica]

oh damn, it doesnt have a unique model?

sadge

[native sail]

Almost none of the unique armor does. Some of the class restricted ones do but most don't because it's a lot of time to have to model it on every class. It's possible in the future when they have less time pressure and more resource allocation available.

[ionic mica]

ah fair, just would have been cool to see the gave's model

[median siren]

@sterile widget @native sail thanks guys. That's kinda what I was thinking but wanted to clarify. I need to read that max roll info and learn to use the guide in the game more

[native sail]

No problem

LETools also has all of the info on ailments including tags and numbers to the damaging ones

[median siren]

Is that a desktop app for calculating?

Similar to grimtools

[ionic mica]

oh, are negative ailments a headache at higher corruptions? debating takingt his node

[sterile widget]

Yes

Cleanse can be very useful

[little veldt]

Has anyone tried playing this game on Steamdeck? I kept crashing the moment I started attacking monsters. I did have rather high ping, so I don't know if that had anything to do with it.

If anyone has any reccomendations on how to get it run smoothly please let me know.

[opal crystal]

I'm playing it on Ally. Runs smoothly but sometimes I run into this bug where all items dropped cannot be picked up. Even with loot filter turned off. Saw that it's a known bug when you play with controller

[sterile widget]

https://old.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/1559pgc/is_anyone_successfully_playing_this_on_steam_deck/

[safe harness]

Anyone know if fundamental criterion gives damage to invocations that don’t consume runes? For example repeats or the auto cast 1-2 rune invocations

[little veldt]

Thanks

[fickle glade]

i believe it does as im using flame dash auto cast invocations

[safe harness]

that consumes your runes though

[fickle glade]

isnt it intended to look at the runes that are consumed?

[safe harness]

dunno, that unique doesn't say consumed like the passive tree nodes do

[fickle glade]

well it is supposed to only boost damage of invocations

[safe harness]

they are invocations, they just don't consume runes

time to test it

[faint cape]

Yeah, the wording makes it seem like it just applies to those specific invocations, unrelated to consuming. I think it should work, and so should the "Word of ____" nodes in RI's spec tree - similar wording.

If it does require consuming the runes, then imo it's a bug since it doesn't mention consuming in any way

[safe harness]

it looks like it is giving more damage

i found out that using 1 rune invocation auto casting a 1 rune invocation ends up glitching out and dealing 0 damage

[faint cape]

yeah, those nodes are buggy, same happens for 2 and 2 I think

[safe harness]

you do like a half jump then there's a super delayed cast

yeah 2 and 2 is the same

[amber rain]

Hey does anyone actually know how potion drops work? I know they drop from killed normal enemies and when you hit bosses, but like does the dmg of the boss hit matter? I've never paid attention to it.

[surreal verge]

No, but they drop more often when your potions aren't full.

[faint cape]

Hit damage doesn't matter, like said above and I think also you get a boost when lower on health or something.

[amber rain]

ok thanks

[fickle glade]

i do wonder if invocation's damage calculation is snapshot or real time?

[sinful laurel]

Most things in the game are snapshotted. I assume it is too

[fickle glade]

yeah looked like it

[safe harness]

any spell that has a duration will have damage locked in to when it was cast and not update as buffs are gained or lost

[warped finch]

how important are resistances towards end game?

[native sail]

I'd recommend at least 60% in all (maybe excluding poison if you have consistent cleanse)

[warped finch]

Alright, I am getting closer to lvl 60 now and I feel like I take inreasingly more damage by the level xD

[fickle glade]

how is bonus corruption calculated? is it related to corruption in other timelines?

[storm blaze]

There is a catch up mechanism for it so you'll get to your highest corruption faster

[fickle glade]

thanks

[sterile widget]

Exact formula is not known, but check this out

can anyone tell me what corruption is in the monoliths?

[carmine coyote]

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

[tall moth]

ok so basically ng+ for the timeline cool

for my own safety that was a joke

[native sail]

I guess in a way that's not entirely wrong

[tall moth]

I honestly thought it was like an upgrade material or something

Also i'm not too sure if i should be trying to do everything in the web but that boss is kinda cool

there's several acolyte shaped marks on that floor

[frank latch]

is there an issue with the blood,frost and death timeline? Everytime I load to an echo the game crashes and I have to check file integrity in steam before being able to run it again. Tried other monoliths then the rest were ok

[sterile widget]

Check your log files - you may have some corrupted streaming assets

You can search the log for "corrupt" I think . Then you go find the file, delete it and verify your Steam files again

anyone who minds giving me a boost? my paladin just feels so weak so i devided to make a new character anyone who can help

@community - I am trying to import my online charavcter into LE tools. My LE account is through steam but I am getting "account not found" or "character not found" - Is there a way to confirm my account name? I cannot find anything in game or in steam other than my steam login

[lone sky]

is it a bad idea to make loot filters quite a bit more strict than maxrolls by the time you are doing empowereds? Got tired of having to look at every single purple that drops so I hid Everything except uniques and purples with the desired base type and affixes and then an unemphasized color for shattering fodder

[tired furnace]

@lone sky I built a filter for GG mods on other builds I might want to play. So if you are eyeballing making a new build or two, add those specific mods, base types, or affixes to the filter

[native sail]

Hit H in game

[tired furnace]

@native sail you are a HERO!!!

TY VM

[native sail]

No prob

[lone sky]

that was an idea I had too, my only thing is I've got seeeeveral characters because I wanted to try all the masteries and I get distracted easily and don't want to stop playing this one just yet lol'

I did, however, find Aaron's Will for my necromancer on this character 😂

[winged wren]

I just got campaign trough with paladin and starting to do the Monoliths, so far I have played with "own" build so not looking from any guide, but il feel my build is bit lacking. Any recommendation for like beginner friendly paladin build guide to start the monoliths?

[pastel pebble]

What are you playing rn?

[winged wren]

Kind of javelin dot thing, its not from any guide

[knotty tinsel]

path up to Holy trail and play around the DoT and getting multiple of them out at a time

big heals, big damage, easy to play

[pastel pebble]

Yeah, that way swapping over won't be as harsh

[regal coral]

Can someone explain me why im loosing spell crit chance?

[balmy current]

The one on the left is giving flat crit chance which is modified by any % crit chance you have

So you probably don't have much % crit chance

[sullen obsidian]

hey Im lvl 78 void knight, erasing strike build, just finishing the last base 2 monos.
Im a bit lost when it comes to forging. So far I just put health on items, upped the best stats or chaos rolled other I didnt need.
I like this helm I just found. I wanna add armor shred, But what would be the actual best way to forge this item, can someone give me a few tips?

[regal coral]

hmm

[balmy current]

Generally flat crit chance is harder to get hold of

[regal coral]

this is flat yes?

[balmy current]

And as a Sorc you have access to quite a lot of % increased crit chance from passives

Yes

Otherwise it'd be % increased crit chance

[regal coral]

now i understand

Ty brother

[left drift]

Is it worth to kill monolith quest bosses in empowered if you don't care at all about their specific loot and are already at high enough corruption? (looking at you elder gaspar)

[balmy current]

Do you want their blessing?

[left drift]

already got it

[balmy current]

with a good roll?

[left drift]

yea,perfect

[balmy current]

Then not if you don't want the uniques for your current character or an alt.

[pastel pebble]

Sometimes you can use them to reset the 2 other quests for when you want to clear off some rough mods

[left drift]

okay,thanks!

[pastel pebble]

Outside of this and what Llama said it's not mandetory

[left drift]

i hadnt really wondered about this till i got to gaspar since his drops are set items so they can't spawn with LP so i didnt really find reasons to kill him

[leaden tundra]

might be a stupid question but for this skill any bleeds i do get turned to time rots right not just bleeds using this one skill

[balmy current]

Any bleeds that Lunge would do get converted into Time Rot, regardless of the source of the bleed (that means whether it's from gear, passives or skill tree). But it doesn't affect other skills.

[leaden tundra]

ah okay ty

[quartz forum]

so is earthquake aftershocks completely bugged or not in game yet? i use earthquake (i don't have the perk that only does initial hit damage) and there is only one instance of damage, no damage or visuals of any aftershocks after i use it

[knotty tinsel]

am I missing something? the second one is better in every way

[latent canyon]

The one the right has a better roll like everywhere if you combine the nec damage from implicit

[knotty tinsel]

more flat, more increased, more cast

[trim thicket]

@knotty tinsel the implicits or different

[knotty tinsel]

yeah but... add the values up with the explicits

[fair sand]

any tips to fighting the lagoon boss in the monolith ?? I have my respective resistance stats pretty much maxed out but when the boss 'enrages' after the teleport I just get slammed down

[dusky kite]

don't get hit by shit other than unavoidable ambient damage

or stand in the corner and only dodge the meteor

don't go into the fight with enrages at 50% modifier too

[fair sand]

I'm not sure what you mean by this

[dusky kite]

monolith echoes have modifiers they give to mobs. One of them is "enrages at 50% health". Don't go into the boss fight if you have that.

[fair sand]

also with regards to not getting hit by other shit, I dont have much issue dodging regularly but with the speedier attacks and waves after the teleport its pretty difficult with limited movements

[fair sand]

aaah, I might have that on

I will check when I'm back on

[royal swallow]

heyo, anyone else encountering the issue where if you launch the game, it runs fine etc. but if you ever close it and try to open it again(like even hours later) it will attempt to launch and then just....nothing?

i have to restart my pc every time i want to play the game lol.

[fair sand]

I dont get why some of the monoliths are still blinking like there is an objective even though I did the 3 left quests that need stability

when I click to them, I dont see any quest locations

I wanted to go to Reign of Dragons but it unlocked the path to Fall of Empires

[balmy current]

Ending the storm has 2 possible choices you can make, you've only done one of them

[balmy current]

Then you chose to let Liath go rather than fight her in the second quest echo

[fair sand]

how can I do the other ??

[balmy current]

Re-run the mono

and choose to fight Liath

[fair sand]

did that show up the first time ? I didnt see anything like it

[balmy current]

It did, yes

[fair sand]

hm

[fringe bridge]

Hi all, I haven't played in quite a while and I am wondering what were the top farmers build atm for mono + that time boss? I currently have lvl 100 holy spear paladin and lvl 99 spike totem shaman but I am fully open to building something else 🙂

[balmy current]

In the second quest echo, you clear the zone out then Liath appears, you speak to her & can either let her go or goad her into fighting you.

[fair sand]

right

[balmy current]

when you get to the bit in the conversation you make the choice at, it says which echo it unlocks (in pink text last I remembered).

[weak parcel]

Hi all - being new to the game wondering - is it by choice that some mobs doesn't display a name, description/type, and large health bar?

[faint lance]

are the frostbite shackles obtainable by rune of ascendance?

[surreal verge]

No, ascendance can't give you boss drops.

[faint lance]

ty, wasnt certain on that

[faint cape]

No, it seems like a bug, mainly with skeleton-like mobs (including players' skeletal minions)

[mighty ibex]

hello there

[pine trail]

Difference in melee damage and physical damage?

[buoyant sinew]

melee damage isn't necessarily physical and physical damage isn't necessarily melee. But if you're using a melee skill that deals physical damage increases to either type will be equally good for you

[mighty ibex]

hello there did anyone had this issue with the menu for each drop down section I can only choose A, B, C & D?

[faint cape]

Physical is a damage type like fire, melee is a damage method like spell

[pine trail]

So using swipe, melee and physical are both good stats?

[faint cape]

Yeah, unless you convert swipe from physical to lightning, then you want melee and lightning

[pine trail]

gotcha, yeah I did switch it over

So melee then. I have some idols with physical damage, so I guess since I switch it won't do much good?

I spose I could respec, then they'd work ok

Problem is I'd have to re-grind the points ugh

[leaden tundra]

doing a meele void warpath build what affix will give me the most dps?

[faint cape]

Spec points don't take too long to come back, feel free to experiment around; imo swapping just to make your current idols a little more useful is not really needed

[faint cape]

Depends on your build, but probably flat void?

[leaden tundra]

how does one calculate attksppd vs flat dmg vs increase?

[buoyant sinew]

If not flat void I think attack speed would be the only competition?

but it's very likely to be flat void

[faint cape]

Spreadsheet time if you want a really accurate answer

[leaden tundra]

how do i calculate attkspd to dps?

[pine trail]

Well for me right now it's kinda vital.......I screwed up on my affix's..........have less melee now, lol. I had a 2h wep that I have +145% melee, plus the wep melee was like 54%, but it was 2h and I wanted 1h, so stupid me ended up selling that item and screwed myself in the long run, so I'm grinding affixes again to build my sceptre back up lol

[faint cape]

but the calc is same as always (total dps with modifier)/(total dps without) = modifier damage multi

[pine trail]

Plus I can just respec the 1 lightning spec, no need to do the entire thing, which is what I thought I'd have to do

[buoyant sinew]

attack speed is just a straight dps multiplier, the hard bit is that all your attack speed increases are additive with each other

[leaden tundra]

how would i know total dps with modifier without putting in the attk spd affix onto the wep?

[buoyant sinew]

so you need to know every source of increased attack speed you have to calculate how much dps another source will give

[faint cape]

Like Spark says, you gotta sum up all your % increased attack speed

[leaden tundra]

ah okay

meele void it is LOL

[faint cape]

(1 + total inc + T5 speed) / (1 + total inc)

[buoyant sinew]

flat void sort of has the same problem, you just probably have fewer sources of it

and yeah without doing the calculations it's usually the correct choice

[faint cape]

^ that, since flat damage usually has very few sources

[leaden tundra]

sounds good tyty i will go flat i guess

and since i have a lot of sources of increased void damage

also good idea for taht i assume

[buoyant sinew]

And for future reference increased damage is usually not want you want on a weapon for a melee build, because you have so many other sources of them that flat/attack speed/crit chance/crit multi are almost always better

[faint cape]

Yeah, since you get so much % inc damage elsewhere, getting more on your weapon is not going to get you as much compared to the flat

[leaden tundra]

right

so flat crit and flat damage prob the best?

[buoyant sinew]

usually

[leaden tundra]

and what about when it comes to defensive stats?

there are so many idk what i should prioritize

[turbid cosmos]

hello guys, just a question, i bought this game 2 days ago but i didn't verified the account from the mail, and now on the account manager it says "Unverified" how i can resend a mail? i still have the original mail but if i press "Click here to verify" nothing happend

[runic sedge]

life/armour/crit avoid or reduction/resists

[leaden tundra]

so this what my stat be looking like for defense

[faint cape]

Mostly health, and getting your 'quota' of the other stuff - capped % endurance, crit mitigation, and decent resists

[buoyant sinew]

the most important ones for most builds are health (especially % health where you can get it), endurance (not endurance threshold), crit avoidance or crit damage reduction

then resistances, it's ideal to have all your resistances close to capped

[runic sedge]

you want more life than that, you want hybrid health affixes on your gloves belt and boots, and you want %inc health on chest helmet and belt

[faint cape]

Then there are some build-dependent ones like armor (which is good on everything, just easier to get on some) and whatever defensive mechanics available to your class

[runic sedge]

Also yeah I forgot to mention endurance, that's good too

[leaden tundra]

i would also need endurance threshhold right?

[runic sedge]

no no endurance threshold

just %endurance

[faint cape]

Nah, threshold scales with your health automatically

[runic sedge]

endurance threshold baseline is a % of your health, so just get more health rather than get threshold

[leaden tundra]

oh

fk

[runic sedge]

vitality is also a decent stat for you, VK has vitality synergies and it also gives life + poison & necrotic resist, which you appear to be low on

I wouldn't say vitality is a priority though

[leaden tundra]

and in regards to loot filters and crafting. Should i opt for getting the perfect piece of gear with like 2-3/4 affix or get something with one affix and craft?

i am not sure how to setup my filters so i am not spending majority of my time looking at items

[runic sedge]

the closer the item starts to what you want, the easier it is to craft it, but if you get lucky you can still craft worse items into what you want, its really up to you

[faint cape]

I tend to have a much looser filter if I really badly need stuff and tighten it up as I have better gear

[buoyant sinew]

Personally I have two separate sets of filter rules for rare items

One that's sum of tiers of desirable affixes, and just bump up the minimum required for them to show as my gear gets better

[whole bay]

Hey guys if I take the summon two spriggans thingy in spriggan form, would their auras stack?

[leaden tundra]

oh what is that? a condition or osmething

[runic sedge]

you should also probably make sure exalted items are always shown, you wouldn't want to accidently filter out good exalted items with strict filters

[buoyant sinew]

and then another for items with great combinations of affixes even if they're low tier, since in those cases I would like to try and upgrade the tiers and see whether I get there before running out of FP

[leaden tundra]

i have it like that i guess

[buoyant sinew]

yeah if you go into the advanced options for affix filters within a rule, tier sum is an option

[leaden tundra]

oh does that make it so i get higher level gear i guess

cause it would drop like t2+ affix or soemthig liek that

i see

cool tyty

[runic sedge]

oh, you may want to hide low level base types, implicit modifiers can be very important in this game

[leaden tundra]

yeah i have selected the subtypes

for the gears i want

[visual osprey]

Hi everyone! Another quick question 😄

when you talent into something like Winds of Justice, which causes your warpath to cast Smite, does that casted smited gain the bonuses of talents that you may have put into to the smite ability itself?

let me know if that question doesnt make sense

[sterile widget]

It does

Unless it says otherwise, it also costs mana 🙂

[visual osprey]

❤️ thank you ily

[faint cape]

The healing stacks, but the buffs do not

[slow kayak]

Any suggestions for a brand new player on what class to start with to start learning?

[buoyant sinew]

Most of the classes are just fine for new players

[ancient kelp]

Has anyone been unable to load a monlith mission ? Im just stuck on this screen? (submited support ticket)

[buoyant sinew]

LE is generally quite forgiving

[slow kayak]

Thanks, it's the goth girl then!

[buoyant sinew]

haha

FYI, necromancer is much more beginner friendly than lich when you get to choose your subclass

[astral tiger]

How much does it generally cost to respec into an endgame build? I know it’s based on the actual nodes but as an estimate am I looking at 200K, 500K, 2 Mil?

[faint cape]

It's pretty negligible, idk I've never even noticed the cost

[buoyant sinew]

You'd have to be doing the most intense respec ever to break 100k

Yeah you can basically ignore the cost

[astral tiger]

Thank you! I’ve played POE but my main experience with ARPGs is D4 and the respec costs there are insane haha

[buoyant sinew]

yep LE has very generous respecs

[slow kayak]

Games are getting more forgiving. Respec back in my day was "create a new character". It was uphill both ways to school too. 🙂

[buoyant sinew]

D4 is new and has brutal respec costs, makes PoE respeccing look easy

[sterile bane]

anyone got a TLDR for dev stream yesterday?

[astral tiger]

Another question: is there a tier list for uniques? I notice they drop a good amount but as a new player I’m always thinking like these affixes sound good but is it actually?

[pine trail]

Does % to physical damage stat on an item include melee damage?

ie: 17% physical damage......would that affect the melee damage?

This physical and melee confuses the shit outta me LOL

[faint cape]

If the melee damage happens to be physical, yes. Otherwise no

[pine trail]

It just says physical damage

[faint cape]

melee just means it's a melee attack using a melee weapon (i.e. any weapon that isn't a bow)

melee damage can be any damage type (see your resistances for all the damage types)

[pine trail]

So if I'm using swipe with a melee weapon that would be physical and melee?

Ohh so spells as well

HAHAH ok I "kinda" got it rofl.....so so soooo used to just melee in rpg games

[faint cape]

It's definitely melee, and it's physical by default, but can be converted to lightning

[dusky kite]

start with druid or runemaster, they are the newest and coolest classes right now

it's not that the other classes are outright bad or anything, but the difference in design and development standard is fairly glaring

[pine trail]

Yeah I'm doing primal atm

[dusky kite]

50-60k or so at most

[pine trail]

Trying to learn the melee/hysical thing, so I can build to it, like my swipe and the wep stats

[faint cape]

melee is in the set melee, throwing, bow, spell and physical is in the set fire, cold, lightning, physical, poison, necrotic, void

[pine trail]

But normally melee is physical, thats why it's a bit confusing

[dusky kite]

not that I've seen any tbh, and the tier list would be highly subjective. For example how do you place build-defining uniques?

[faint cape]

so they are just kinda different things, every damage type has exactly one of those things from each of the sets

you can deal physical spell damage or physical bow damage

[pine trail]

typically you have melee classes, warrior, pally, etc...then casters mages, wizard, and them a combo, hunter

[faint cape]

and you can deal fire melee damage or necrotic melee damage, etc.

[dusky kite]

well, it isn't normally physical on say spellblade. Or VK.

[pine trail]

So like for instance I have a sceptre, that has % to physical damage, and have converted over to lightning for swipe, would that be physical or melee?

[dusky kite]

your swipe will be ligthning melee if it's a 100% conversion, or physical lightning melee if it's a partial one

[faint cape]

swipe converted to lightning deals melee lightning damage - you can always check the skill's tags if you don't know

[dusky kite]

then the physical part of it, if there is any, would get increased by % physical damage

[pine trail]

Sorry, not trying to be difficult, just trying to undersant the mechanics

[astral tiger]

How does item scaling work in this game?

I’m a level 80 SpellBlade. My friend is getting the game soon and I was going to make a new character to play with him. Is it viable for me to collect some necro gear on my current character or will the items be too high of level to use right away?

[faint cape]

You could collect necro gear. Typically I mainly look for build enabling stuff or fancy exalts on other characters rather than try to get an actual full gear set or something

Yes, items do have level reqs, and if you get good end game gear for another character, they won't be able to equip it for a long time probably

[pine trail]

So kinda aphysical melee sorta thing

[faint cape]

You also get item drops weighted toward your current class (this doesn't apply to uniques/sets, which are often rare and build enabling, so that's why I focus on those for alts)

[dusky kite]

Basically apply formal logic, not common sense.

[pine trail]

Wait, we have common sense today? Thought that was a lost art LOL

[faint cape]

It can be, depends on what % of the phys you've converted to lightning - it's a node in swipe's spec tree

[dusky kite]

items have level requirements that are determined by base, max affix tier, and total affix tier, although I don't remember the exact breakdowns. So you won't be able to get giga stacked items with low level req unless it's a legendary on a low level base (including WW items)

[pine trail]

Yeah, debating on wether or not to convert it over or just spec somthing else

[faint cape]

It's largely just a build decision, if you want to use other lightning stuff, or have some good lightning scaling stuff, you go lightning. Similar for physical, but physical.

[sterile widget]

Some abilities also have nodes which add flat damage that isn't converted... so, there's that

[faint cape]

early game it doesn't matter much

[sterile widget]

😄

[dusky kite]

^ basically. It's not a question of which is better in vacuum (although lightning is better in vacuum) but rather of how it fits into the rest of your build

[weak parcel]

Mobs being untargetable - especially boss/elite type skeletons seems to be like that - anything to do about that? Can kill em fine enough, but cannot target, see their name or exact type, or remaining health...

Relog does not change help

[dense root]

bug

!bug

[ripe brook]

Please post bug reports on our forum: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports. Thank you. :smile:

[pine trail]

Ok i'm trying to add increased melee damage in a slot. It says I have 7 of the shards, but says no forging potential........why?

[dusky kite]

forging potential is a stat on the item. It's not tied to your shards stockpile. If it has none, if measn you have already exhausted the potential it had.

Look for a new item

[pine trail]

OHHH ok, well crap. Did I waste time putting the afixes on then?

[dusky kite]

You got an item with the affixes. Whether it was a waste of time or not is up to you to decide

[pine trail]

Well I guess not, because it sure made a difference in my damage now

[carmine coyote]

bug? no way!

[leaden tundra]

can mobs have more than 200% crit dmg?

[candid elm]

You can get enemy modifiers for increased crit chance, but I don't believe there's one for crit damage. If you get either crit avoidance or reduced crit damage to 100%, you should be good. Example modifier:

[pine trail]

day 3 and still learnng stuff about this game. Justnow noticed on like the swipe skill, it has multiple benfits on some of them, ie: one has +damage as well as life leech, one has +damage and +aoe damage....never did see the 2nd stat facepalm. Sucks getting old, you jus overlook shit

[candid elm]

You're learning as you're playing : )

[pine trail]

Yeah, but as you grow older you just completly overlook stuff. Can't play much fps games anymore, I just don't see stuff as fast as I used to

What level opens the mastery?

I'm guesing by looking at the tree it's vl 20

[leaden tundra]

its better to get fortification to 100% righgt? cause u get the bonus armor with it? instead of crit avoidance

[candid elm]

Up to you. I've been doing crit avoid as there's an Empowered Blessing for that which can roll up to 70%. So you can cap crit avoid with a well rolled blessing and a single T5 crit avoid affix.

Example, you couild get 66% on Blessing and a T5 crit avoid with 34%.

[leaden tundra]

ah okay

i am still on regular monoliths so no real blessings yet

[candid elm]

But you can do either of them. You'd need about 3x of the affixes on the gear to cap. Like if you get 3x in the 33-34% range.

[leaden tundra]

these last monoliths taking some time to clear

[pine trail]

Minion increased health is at 51%, not bad at lvl 9?

Should be nce when I get them crows

[vital jungle]

Does anyone know how well the multiplayer works in this game?

I.e Is scaling wrong, does the game become way too easy in coop? (2 players)

My friend is wanting to get this game to play with me, but idk if it's worth it for coop

[sterile widget]

The scaling is enemy health only and it isn't 100%

It definitely makes a whole chunk of the game easier

[candid elm]

The campaign in general is pretty easy though, if you're experienced with ARPGs. Just a couple hard boss fights that tend to trip people up

[pine trail]

By george I think I'm learning about this game! lol........learned physical damage doesn't do as much as melee damage does with swipe and a wep

I'm slapping stuff around now baby!

Also found out the hard way, not having wolf slotted means no wolfy friend

[astral tiger]

Does the level of power really open up once you hit Empowered? I don’t know I just feel pretty weak for my level (80) compared to other ARPGs

[pine trail]

Maelstrom works pretty damn well

Filter in this game is best I've seen in any filter able game for sure

[candid elm]

A lot of it is from finding and crafting better gear. Going from 80-100 just gives you 20 more passive points.

[astral tiger]

I’m doing like 6-15K damage that has to be really low

[faint cape]

Sounds like enough to one shot most packs and take down rares plenty fast... unless you mean that's you numbers on the dummy

[astral tiger]

That’s my numbers vs real mobs. I guess how much is a lot in this game? That’s like a bricked build in D4 which is why I’m concerned, level 80 I’d be doing like in the 100K range at least

[faint cape]

Well, in this game monsters get damage reduction based on level, up to like 87% at level 100, so your numbers don't inflate quite so wildly. I think the best answer is, as long as the build feels good, it's good. If you can kill bosses in a reasonable time, you're good for single target.

A reasonable time is like 1 minute bosses I guess, just making up a random time frame. Technically, you can one shot everything if you exploit bugs or weird mechanics.

[astral tiger]

That makes way more sense! So technically this game is more about defense and survivability? Because as long as you can kill efficiently, the actual damage numbers aren’t really important

[pine trail]

Dammit, now that I'm figureing stuff out I'm addicted, thanks alot! 🤣

[split oracle]

I'm looking for a really fast map clear build, I have an 81 sourcerer static orb build but just want to zoom through maps in monolith, any suggestions?

[flint heart]

Hello, maybe someone in here can help me. I am trying to play LE but every time I start the game and select the character the game crashes. Anyone knows by any chance how to fix it?

[royal flint]

Could anyone recommend an easy build? Not too much buttons, easy 300 corruption farming, tanky?

[icy marsh]

How does corruption work in a group? If I have 100 corruption and the other person has 300 corruption what is the loot and mobs set at? the higher or is it based on who started the monolith?

[broken burrow]

@royal flint@split oracle@flint heartI'm in voice chat if you want to go over some options, I'm a terrible typist

[broken burrow]

It's who opens the echo

[icy marsh]

cool so if we fight the Shade and he opened it. I have a chance at the higher corruption gear since he opened it

[broken burrow]

you have to have the stability to get the reward

[novel locust]

Have they stated when the game will be more stable? Every time I check the game out it becomes more and more unstable performance wise and I have a high end computer. Changing maps is atrocious. Last time I played right after multiplayer was introduced it was only when in a group, but now it is every single map change / portal etc.

[spiral kindle]

hi im having an issue where the game stays stuck at the loading screen of going into the northern road Divine era

any tips?

[dusky kite]

every arpg is about defense and survivability, except d4 I guess cause the mobs stunlock you for 50 minutes anyways

[astral tiger]

hahah I guess so, I just went from doing 2-6 mil damage on D4 to 15K so its a major feeling of "ok, well wtf am I doing wrong?"

[sweet forge]

For levelling from 90 to 100, is it best to do empowered or can you also do Arenas?

[analog isle]

passively have increased resists?

well not increased, just flat added

my C sheet is not showing this

nvmind gotta go into a monster zone first

[dusky kite]

arena exp was nerfed into the ground like 5 patches ago

[sweet forge]

Thanks, I'm currently doing corruption 120, is it best for me to push it to 200 and level then?

[ivory torrent]

y'all recommend necromancer or lich?

[astral tiger]

from what I've aeen (not very experienced myself) Lich is more powerful but Necro is easier for new players to learn

[native sail]

Lich is not more powerful

Lich is very buggy and has builds abusing bugs to make it have insane survival or damage, but it's not actually that good without said bugs

Necro on the other hand is very, very good especially for newbies as long as you ignore builds using Aaron's Will

[ivory torrent]

thanks for telling me

[grizzled seal]

How do I get out of here?

standing by this stupid foggy spot teleports you to a location you cant leave

Bell Brother Bartholomew

[tired basin]

are there any viable bow builds out there? Everything I'm finding says its not looking good

[native sail]

They're squishy but they deal lotsa damage

[sharp sage]

lich is crazy

Im doing 25-30k with meh gear lv81

[surreal verge]

I would like to say that your health is pretty shite

[sharp sage]

i never die so havent bothered with that

[native sail]

You're doing 25-30k, but Necro setups can do 30k at 30 hits per second

[sharp sage]

i started 3days ago

so i dont expect that crazy stuff yet lol

[native sail]

Lich can't do that crazy stuff, that's what I'm getting at

[surreal verge]

Lich has a lower floor,but necro has a higher ceiling

[native sail]

^

[surreal verge]

Lich also has more jank,technically

[sharp sage]

Havent tried nerco yet but will def do that after lich

[frosty pebble]

Is the shared crit chance prefix a drop roll only? Cause I'm not seeing it in crafting options

[native sail]

Technically everything is drop only?

[frosty pebble]

I mean is it specifically found on dropped items, or have I just never gotten a shard for it? Lol
