[tawdry surge]

when will game getting out of early access do you know anything?

i think there is no season in last epoch like poe

[icy drift]

should be around december

the 1.0 launch is set for end of the year, and with it will come the first "season"

[tawdry surge]

ah its very good

[faint cape]

All of them https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/dungeons

[tawdry surge]

i can wait for %20 discount maybe they can do it.

[icy drift]

i have around 600 hours in last epoch now and i know people who have over 1000 hours

[native sail]

They likely won't have a discount for a little while

[sinful laurel]

They don't plan on discounting price any time soon

[faint cape]

You can click on the dungeon to see the upcoming modifiers, how many days away they are

[tawdry surge]

yeah for a year no discount

[icy drift]

yeah they said they won't discount it atleast until after 1.0 comes out sadly

[native sail]

[leaden tundra]

cool ty

[native lichen]

Guys does bleed scale with % physical damage or strength and dexterity?

[tawdry surge]

no discount then i will buy it.

[icy drift]

but after 1.0 they might do a discount for the end of year or something, who knows

[native sail]

Phys yes, strength/dex depends on if the skill you use to apply it does

[faint cape]

Each tier has a different daily modifier btw, when you click in it defaults to T4

[icy drift]

but yeah honestly it's worth every penny imo

[sinful laurel]

Bleed is a physical damage. Attribute scaling depends on the applying skill

[tawdry surge]

it can be more expensive after 1.0 in my country 😄

[native sail]

They are not increasing the price

[icy drift]

they also said they won't be increasing the price ^^

[sinful laurel]

Lol how many of us can answer the same question

[icy drift]

all of us

[faint cape]

Currency exchange rates may fluctuate

[icy drift]

makes it more trustworthy

[native sail]

We are many

[icy drift]

True tbh

[sinful laurel]

We are legion

[tawdry surge]

but my country 😄 😄 game getting expensive x6. It was 3 dollars

[icy drift]

We're all trying to earn pats on the head from Kain so he won't ban us in general for talking about something else

[native lichen]

well then if my bow skills have chance to for bleed stack for bow damage scale bleed?

[native sail]

Bow damage will not scale bleed as bleed is not bow damage

[tawdry surge]

My country's economy is f...

[icy drift]

ahhh, yeah it's your decision then, i've played both diablo 3 and last epoch and i prefer last epoch by a lot personally

[sinful laurel]

Idk how you interpreted that...impressive

[icy drift]

lol i understood it the first time, and then after i read your message and went back and read it again and my brain got fried

[faint cape]

For reference, their sale price is 25% discount, so if you think inflation will overcome that over the next year-ish, then it might not be worth waiting

[native sail]

My younger sister has severe speech problems, broken English is nothing

[sinful laurel]

Same thing happened to me haha

[native lichen]

since atributes will scale bleed damage from the spell it`s self. it made sense to me

[icy drift]

do they? i'm not sure tbh

[native sail]

They do

[native lichen]

if the bow damage is physical damage will not work, right?

[icy drift]

inheritence for skills is still something i need to learn

[faint cape]

Yeah, attributes scale bleed. Also, damage while wielding a bow will scale bleeds, but not bow damage

[icy drift]

i got triggered skills down i think

but didn't know dots also inhereted

[native sail]

What Toast said

[icy drift]

i mean yeah the damage while wielding a bow thing makes total sense

[native sail]

Basically, ailments scale their damage off of all "generic" modifiers for skills. Attributes are converted into a generic increased modifier for the skill so get inherited.

[balmy current]

Ailments don't inherit flat damage but they do inherit relevent % modifiers.

[icy drift]

yeah i just wasn't sure if ailments inhereted like skills do

good to know though, thanks

never really played an ailment build tbh

[native sail]

I've played a few, they're fun enough

I'm waiting for Shield Rush fixes

[native lichen]

i`m a noob and wondering how to scale bleed with marksmen. thanks guys

[faint cape]

I think of ailments as if they are basically just subskills, they inherit all stats from the thing applying them (just not everything will work for them, like hit damage, melee, bow, added damage, etc.)

[sinful laurel]

Like toast said, except if the thing denotes "hit"

[native lichen]

what about shred armour. will it help with scaling bleed?

[sinful laurel]

No

[surreal verge]

No.

[native lichen]

good try tough 😦

[sinful laurel]

Armor protects from hits. Ailments aren't hits

[surreal verge]

Armour only helps on hits.

[sinful laurel]

Resistance shred helps though

[native lichen]

how do you apply that with marksman?

[faint cape]

I think puncture has a spec node for it, and there is a blessing for every shred type

[surreal verge]

Yeah puncture does.

[native lichen]

okay thank you

[faint cape]

You can also get physical penetration (there's a couple sources for rogue)

[native lichen]

these two will work only for hits then i assume

[sinful laurel]

They don't say hits. So no

[native lichen]

it wont affect the bleed damage. thats how i understand it

[sinful laurel]

Oh wait. Don't mind me

It says with next skill

That denotes the skill itself

[limpid aurora]

So i bought a weapon that lessen my damage to 200K. But upgraded my armour to +700. Is that an upgrade or i fcked up?

[faint cape]

Just for clarity, yes those should affect the bleeds from the skill that consumes the effect

[sinful laurel]

are you sure?

[icy drift]

what's the armour mitigation change?

[icy drift]

not sure why not, it's generic damage

[faint cape]

I haven't tested it, but it should

[sinful laurel]

but it says "with next skill"

[icy drift]

should get inherited same as attributes

[sinful laurel]

to me taht says skill damage

but it doesnt say hit

[icy drift]

it's just more damage for 1 skill

[native sail]

it's still "generic" enough

[icy drift]

otherwise it would say skill damage imo

[native lichen]

then i don`t understand how that really works. The skill should only proc the bleed. not the damage of it.

[sinful laurel]

hmm yeah i can see it

[native lichen]

i feel stupid guys 😄

[faint cape]

I imagine it gives the stat more damage to the skill, and that should flow through all its ailments and subskills

[icy drift]

it's generic damage untl you use 1 skill then the generic bonus falls off kinda

btw what time is it for you? it's already 10:35 pm here. I'll be staying up pretty late but just so it's not like 5 am here when you get back home

[astral tiger]

Oh haha. I’m EST so I’ll hit you up tomorrow instead. I’ll see if I can send you my current build planner for you to look over

[leaden tundra]

what is max armor shred stacks u can put on a mob?

[surreal verge]

No cap.

(It has diminishing retuns tho)

[wicked smelt]

Anyone know if the explosion from using "3 volitile zombies on potion use" scales off something. Can i make it stronger?

[faint cape]

It scales off minion spell fire/phys damage (default) and the Summon Volatile Zombie spec tree

[leaden tundra]

cool tyty

[surreal verge]

It takes the volatile zombie skill, so yes, follow the same rules as that

[icy drift]

sounds good, do you know how to import your character to le tools? You just go to Lastepochtools.com and go to the build planner and then click the import button on the left, Alternatively you can just type:

lastepochtools.com/profile{[your profile username]/character/[your characters name]

Like this:

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/Cyborgwars/character/Lightningslapper

[wicked smelt]

Thats insane. I dont understand how this item is not beyond broken. I can use only potion, nothing else and clear all the content at lvl 75.

[surreal verge]

It IS not because of the intention. It's bugged as all hell

It summons more than it says, and doesn't respect the usual 'it spends mana' rule

[leaden tundra]

finallly

[pastel pebble]

Brick it like I did

[leaden tundra]

how shall i do that?

and how do i get more legendary potential ?

[icy drift]

they're joking don't brick it lol

[leaden tundra]

no ik brick it means fk it up

LOL

what should i try and throw on there for 1 legendary potential

i went from 77% crit to 20% so i assume crit rate

XD

[knotty tinsel]

melee critical strike chance

anything else pales in comparison to the value that that gives

[pastel pebble]

Yeah, ideally it is melee crit chance

What is your build rn?

[leaden tundra]

its a warpath meele void build

[pastel pebble]

Melee crit baby

[leaden tundra]

hm i need to farm exlated 2h axes

[pastel pebble]

I got one but missed the melee crit chance on it and hit the increased crit chance tho

[leaden tundra]

i cant direclty do that right

[pastel pebble]

I'm still hunting for the right one

[leaden tundra]

yeah i went from cirting always to not

[pastel pebble]

The axe is so damn good

I got a 2lp sitting pretty

[worthy charm]

Hello. How does everyone feel about the 90 - 100 levelling push? Im at 96 and it does feel much slower than anything I have experienced, even though I am pushing empowered monoliths.

[tranquil silo]

i think in the last patch they increased the amount by a lot

[native sail]

250% yeah

[faint cape]

The levels at that point are mostly just for status, especially 95+

[tranquil silo]

returning player 2 questions

1. finished campaign and was wondering if there was anything faster than monos for boosting my character up.(assuming not)

2. is the current meta for farming exalted items to just hunt the caches instead of doing that gold dump dungeon?

[knotty tinsel]

if it bothers you sufficiently there's always #1123697853882187847 , but worth noting that before this change it was always remarked how fast/easy getting to 100 was, at least from what I saw.

Maybe they nudged it too far in the other direction

[faint cape]

Yeah, though I think even after the change, it sounded like they were more likely to only make it take even longer

It's okay though, you don't really get much out of the last few levels

[worthy charm]

It does not bother me much in truth. Its just something I felt while playing. It certainly does not feel like a wall.

[knotty tinsel]

just be like me and make builds that are so cursed that the last 20 skillpoints are basically dead

god I can't wait for some minion support on rogue

[worthy charm]

And I think they have bigger issues to deal with. Its not worth it right now.

[tranquil silo]

oh yeah and for #2 is there anything stopping me from just joining a zone getting chest and resetting?

[worthy charm]

And besides, I just got smacked by a Tier 4 dungeon boss so its time to learn and get gud again. It was the first time I went to a dungeons earlier today ... and impressed by their design. The D mechanic was a welcome design choice. Really enjoyed them.

[faint cape]

1. Nah, rush monos to unlock empowered monos and blast those
2. Neither really, dungeons have daily bonuses that are meta when available - otherwise dungeons are just better than monos for exalted items in general

[tranquil silo]

ok ty

[faint cape]

Nothing other than it's probably a waste of time, caches spawn randomly in monos and can be nice

[tranquil silo]

does it scale with corruption level?

the chance to find one

[surreal warren]

hey does anyone know the best completely braindead walking simulator build atm?

[faint cape]

Yes, it does (same with chance to find the rune prison)

[tranquil silo]

gotcha thanks a lot

last question after i hit empowered monos again is there a certain corruption level i should aim to farm at

or is it just depending on how comfortable it feels (as high as i can go without being extra slow)

[faint cape]

I would say a mix of both. As high as you can go without it slowing you down much is best, but typically you want to run at least 200-300c (at 200c, you unlock the last blessing option and all of the Shade's drops).

[dense root]

there's a pretty noticeable increase in rewards as you go up in corruption until somewhere in the high hundreds, low 1000s

so like ideally you'd get to that range for maximum efficiency

but while you work on that you just want to farm whatever the highest corruption you can do quickly is yeah

[tranquil silo]

gotcha

ty for answers everyone back to the grind

[cedar zodiac]

Guys, a question, I'm following boardman21's guide of minion cold damage and I see that in their build they have unique items even at low levels...
Is it possible to get these unique ones in a simple way or is it only for when you have previously?

[sinful laurel]

first character untwinked, just rng

except for the uniques that are guaranteed through the campaign

[cedar zodiac]

Is there any guaranteed unique in the campaign that you should pay attention to?

[sinful laurel]

just choose the elder and not the gambler in act 2 if you are an elemental build

i think that is the only one?

[cedar zodiac]

minion build xD

[sinful laurel]

then it probably doesnt matter

[knotty tinsel]

grab the gloves cuz convenient

[sinful laurel]

just pick up rares as you go and craft on them

the campaign is really not that hard

[leaden tundra]

should i combine my apthys maw with this one or

only 1 legendary potential maw

or should i hold off until i get 2 legendary potential maw

[sinful laurel]

if you are a VK, the biggest thing you need is crit

1/4 chance

[leaden tundra]

yeah but in the end its 1/4 chance right

[sinful laurel]

yeah but we are likely nearing reset, so unless you plan on playing non-cycle, yolo

[leaden tundra]

i dont understand

well even with the +14% crit chance i am only at 78% crit

[sinful laurel]

why not slam what you have, if it is all gonna get deleted for cycle anyways

that 14% crit chance is base crit

[leaden tundra]

cycle?

[sinful laurel]

so a 5% base crit skill would now have 19% base crit

cycles are seasons here

i.e. fresh start

[leaden tundra]

thats in when?

[sinful laurel]

word is by end of year

[leaden tundra]

oh plenty of time

[sinful laurel]

see how lucky you can get for a 2LP maw if you want

up to you

but still, you want flat crit

[leaden tundra]

right

i guess the base 5% is not accounted for in the sheet

[sinful laurel]

it is

your sheet calculates your actual chance to critically strike based on non-conditional increased critical strike chance

so if you have 78% chance to crit ON sheet already, with 14% increased base you will likely be crit capped

ofc im just educated guessing without seeing your actual numbers and stats

[leaden tundra]

oh i have 78% with the 14% increased base

[sinful laurel]

thats pretty good for a VK

they are hard pressed to find crit chance

just remember that with a higher base, each place you get % increased critical chance on gear, passives, skills is WAY more valuable

also remember that any conditional crit chnace is not represented

so your actual chance to crit is likely higher than 78%

[wicked smelt]

Can you not get from ending the storm to reign of dragons? i saw a yotuber that had opened a way. But i dont understand how

[sinful laurel]

when you get to the point where you talk to liath, you have to choose the higher level option

[leaden tundra]

i dont think i have conditional crit in my build

[sinful laurel]

iirc its something about continuing on anyways and not helping her

[leaden tundra]

this only happens if i hit the 1/4 my apthays maw + that exalted i gotta be incredibly lucky XD

luck has not been my strong suit in games

[sinful laurel]

not incredibly lucky, just 25% lucky

[leaden tundra]

XD

thats pretty incredible for me haha

[sinful laurel]

well have fun farming a 2LP 🙂

[quartz blaze]

2lp maw doesnt exist 2lp maw can't hurt me

[sinful laurel]

also think about this

if you slam the 1LP and succeed then youre good. if you fail then you are in the EXACT same place you are now

farming for maw

[candid elm]

your stuff isn't getting deleted when cycles start. it'll still all be there in the regular non-cycle game mode.

[sinful laurel]

why i said "if you want to play cycle"

[candid elm]

The part about "if it is all gonna get deleted for cycle anyways"

I get what you're saying though. If you're starting over fresh with a cycle, why hoard it.

[leaden tundra]

well i would also loose the exlated right and i owuld need to find another +14% exlated axe with crit chance

[candid elm]

yeah the exalted item used is destroyed

[leaden tundra]

thats the hard part i feel

more than getting a maw

[sinful laurel]

you could also lose that axe with a 2LP though...so that logic is a bit flawed

[leaden tundra]

also how do i increase the chance of getting higher potential maw is it jsut increase corruption? and ALSO is this max?

[sinful laurel]

corruption does not influence LP

[leaden tundra]

oh

so 1-4 pure rng ?

[candid elm]

corruption just gives you more chances at LP items, the increased rewards are more basically more drop chances. doesn't directly give you +LP

[sinful laurel]

i mean you will see more uniques overall at higher corr, so more pulls at the slot machine. but LP per item is agnostic to corruption

[leaden tundra]

ah okay

and +14 is that max corruption

i am not talking about bonus and all

just based on distance

[candid elm]

It increases the current corruption by 14, in that one timeline/monolith

[leaden tundra]

yeah is it possible to get more

[sinful laurel]

i think 16 is the max?

[leaden tundra]

oh 16 okay ty

[sinful laurel]

i cant remember if someone has reported higher

[faint cape]

18 is max, but really hard to get due to dead ends

[candid elm]

you also can get extra from killing the boss, that's the Gaze thing, and if another timeline/monlith is higher, you get a bonus as a catch up mechanic

[faint cape]

For scaling the Shade's drops, that +14 to +18 base corruption is the most important bit

[leaden tundra]

okay i will stick with +14

its rough out here XD

rip got another 1 LP maw time to go brick my maw too impatient no crit feels like dogshit

[sinful laurel]

good luck!!

[candid elm]

Like this kind of thing

[leaden tundra]

tyty

[wicked smelt]

Will increased minion physical damage or increased minion damage be best for volitile zombies?

[sinful laurel]

The explosion is half phys, half fire, so with no conversion in play, you would be better off increasing global minion damage as it would hit both. Or minion spell damage

[tranquil drift]

Hi all. New player here. Have a few questions. Should I be salvaging gear early on? If so how do I go about doing that? Can I quickly move items from inventory to stash and vice versa or do I have to drag and drop? Finally is left click move only or can I put a skill there?

[icy drift]

1. No
2. Using runes of shattering, but I wouldn't super early on.
3. Shift right click.
4. You can put a skill there but it's not an extra skill slot (and it's kinda janky rn so I wouldn't recommend it)

[tranquil drift]

Follow up. What should I do with my early gear?

[icy drift]

Throw it on the ground, or if it was kinda half decent, shatter it

[tranquil drift]

Really? Just don’t pick it up? There’s so much loot tho

[sinful laurel]

Loot filter is practically necessary

[faint cape]

I hear some people still don't use loot filters, so it's apparently do-able (but extremely not recommended), not trying to call anyone out...

[candid elm]

If you'd like to look at some guides on making filters, 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. LE Tools also has some filters and a filter making tool https://www.lastepochtools.com/loot-filters/

[sinful laurel]

Modifying a heavyz filter works well if you don't want to make one from scratch

[tranquil drift]

Thank you!

[sterile widget]

I usually don't equip a filter until at least chapter 5 or so 😄

[sinful laurel]

I just set it to not turn on until level 20 🙂

[sterile widget]

Pro-tips!

I always forget about that feature 😄

[pastel pebble]

You can @ me

[tranquil drift]

Wait, sorry. Are you saying you don't use filters until level 20?

[sinful laurel]

For a new character that is untwinked, I set my filter rules to not kick in until level 20

I.e. at low level I want to see everything because I will need those incremental upgrades

[tranquil drift]

Gotcha

What do you do with all the extra gear up until 20? Just ignore it if you aren't going to use it?

[sinful laurel]

Yup

Even after 20 lol

Only pick up what you are gonna use, craft, shatter or save for another build

[sudden forge]

Most loot filters in maxroll have already level requirement to allow you to get at least all magics until lvl 5 and all rares until 20 either way

some of them even have different filters for early game, mid game and late game

[zealous orchid]

Can someone help me describe this feeling.

Actually going through a skill tree in LE is wayyy more satisfying then equipping support gems in POE. Even if u get more options on Poe it doesn't really feel like I AM making the changes to skills like it does in LE cuz u just buy from vendor.

[sinful laurel]

For me it's the feeling of solving a puzzle or connecting a web vs putting a round thing into a round hole

[zealous orchid]

Ah that could be it

[sinful laurel]

Not to mention 99% of Poe players don't come up with their own thing. So you're putting someone else's round things into your round holes

And yes. We are doing phrasing

[pastel pebble]

Prime is an expert and putting things in the correct and totally office appropriate receptacle

[zealous orchid]

Maybe it's cuz I'm following a build guide on Poe where in LE I can discover x skill can do 4 drastically different things so it's a lot more entertaining.

[sinful laurel]

Only when the boss is looking

[pastel pebble]

I do appreciate LE giving room to experiement

[zealous orchid]

Cuz I'm not doing build guide in LE

[sinful laurel]

The "fuck Around and find out" let's you solve the puzzle.

[zealous orchid]

O sorry didn't read that until after I typed my message out

[sinful laurel]

Lol all good. Great minds

[sterile bane]

think

[pastel pebble]

That's not allowed here

[soft orchid]

when abouts is the game going to come out of early access, do we know?

and whether the campaign is going to be completed with all the acts by then?

[pastel pebble]

1.0 is at end kf the year

Full story is post 1.0 IIRC

[leaden tundra]

what is the difficulty of lvl 100 dungeons in terms of empowered corruption ik there are affixes to the dungeon mobs like echos so it can vary but if anyone knows a general range

[sinful laurel]

I'd guess like 350-400 or so? My personal estimate

[leaden tundra]

oh damn

[faint cape]

I concur. I think the regular enemies are usually on the lower side of that (except soulfire, I hate those guys), and the bosses are on the higher side.

[gritty palm]

Can you get an Omnis from a rune of ascendance?

[sinful laurel]

No

[gritty palm]

That sucks lol

[sinful laurel]

Can only ascend random drops, omnis is boss drop

[gritty palm]

Thanks for the info!

[sterile widget]

Hang in Long Enough and Against All Odds, you will get one

Personally, I wish it would rain down, but it's important to acknowledge both sides of the story

[vocal plank]

Quick question, increased minion damage effects minion DoT right?
Just making sure

[surreal verge]

Yes

[vocal plank]

That's what I figured. Had to be sure I wasn't crazy. Making a bleed squirrel build because no guide exists and the one time I wanna use a guide man.

[leaden tundra]

i am getting 1 tapped what can i do here to get tanky

160 corruption

[sinful laurel]

One tapped by what

[leaden tundra]

it was by the fire spire

i lagged and got hit by it

and dedge

[sinful laurel]

Those spires can hurt. I assume you probably have an unfortunate echo affix combo

[leaden tundra]

do my defence stats look good apart from resistances on certain types?

[sinful laurel]

Yeah they aren't terrible. That elem affix probably killed you

Your health is a bit low as a vk with only armor and res and no shield

Are you dw?

[leaden tundra]

dw?

[sinful laurel]

Dual wield

[leaden tundra]

nah

got that 2h axe

[sinful laurel]

Ok that's fine, but still. VK survives with a big health pool and a shitload of Leech

[leaden tundra]

yeah idk hwere i can get more health

i have hybrid/health

on everything

except rings

[sinful laurel]

I'm sure there are a lot of places, but gear is hard to improve ofc

[leaden tundra]

can ii link u my gear?

[pastel pebble]

Def post it

[sinful laurel]

Btw you can export your char to LEtools and post the link here. For the future

[leaden tundra]

oh cool

[sinful laurel]

Flat health on helm, consider a nomad ring it's an amazing ring, belt needs hybrid or % hp. Just for some examples

Also idols are one of the best places to get health. Dual health stout idols are amazing

[leaden tundra]

flat health generally better than increased?

[sinful laurel]

For you yeah probably. With Titan heart. But ofc you want both

[leaden tundra]

oh what this export feature

is so nice

well import

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/PAVPGVPB

hm i need to look into idol i guess

this ring?

[sinful laurel]

You can rework passives to get some health too. I'm remote so can't right now but in paladin you can get an easy 150 flat hp

Yes that ring

[leaden tundra]

yeah i did have that passive but moved those points to this

ended with more hp

[sinful laurel]

Or a weavers ring with good health affixes

[leaden tundra]

yeah i am using this blessing instead of crit avoidance might be time to switch it

to put in better stats instead of crit avoid

[sinful laurel]

Your crit avoid is fine though. And you need leech

[pastel pebble]

Well they're VK

They can just use Anomaly

[leaden tundra]

well my ring has 34% crit avoid

if i loose that

[sinful laurel]

Ah true. Anomaly

[pastel pebble]

Their resists need fixing

[sinful laurel]

Yup also true

[leaden tundra]

anomaly?

[pastel pebble]

Crit avoid, capping resists

[pastel pebble]

One of the best support skills VK has access to

[sinful laurel]

Truth

[pastel pebble]

One hand side of the tree you can turn it into a bubble on your self. It'll shred Void Resistance, give you increased attack/cast speed, crit, leech, CDR

If's phenomenal utility

For Emperor's blessing I'd go for the crit avoidance

That or all resist

[leaden tundra]

wtf and 0 mana cost????

ah 20 mana cost if it follows

[pastel pebble]

It'll add some mana cost but it's phenomenal

[sinful laurel]

Yeah for you all res is good and makes everything much easier

[leaden tundra]

WAIT THIS IS FKING INSANE

LOL WHAT

[pastel pebble]

Yeah! It does a lot

Top side, right hand you can get it to stun enemies too

It'll stun bosses a lil

[leaden tundra]

idk what to drop here in my skills

i was using volitaile reversal before speccing into

that

[pastel pebble]

Well do you wanna be casting or hitting?,

[sinful laurel]

Idk if rebuke is worth to spec, but I'm not a vk expert admittedly

[pastel pebble]

Rebuke is niche af

[leaden tundra]

i use rebuke

as oh shit

boss doing mech

[sinful laurel]

You can still use it unspecced

[leaden tundra]

let me tank

well i cant throw anything in there if it is taking up slot in my bar

either way i spec it or not right

[pastel pebble]

Well do you eanna cast or focus on attacking?

You got a Tiran's Heart on

[sinful laurel]

VR is also a great skill for warpath. Honestly... Fucking drop lunge haha. You move while damaging anyways

[leaden tundra]

i am warpath buiild so attacking i guess?

[pastel pebble]

So I'd unspec Devouring Orb

It doesn'r do you enough

[leaden tundra]

i use lunge for the execute mainly

and i dont have darkstride yet

so i dont move fast

yet

[pastel pebble]

Warpath, Volatile Reversal, Lunge/Void Cleave, Abyssal Echoes, Anomaly is what I'd do

[sinful laurel]

Yup that sounds good to me

[leaden tundra]

do u use abysall echoes

or u let warpath cast that?

[pastel pebble]

You can auto cast AE vis Warpath or Void Cleave to do more damage, shred, get more atrack speed

[pastel pebble]

Warpath auto casts

As does Void Cleave

[leaden tundra]

what do u do about mana?

[pastel pebble]

But it uses the tree anyways

Get some regen and spec into the decreased costs of Warpath

[leaden tundra]

regen dont work when casting warpath tho

[surreal verge]

You're 2handed right?

[leaden tundra]

cause this is a heft sum

[pastel pebble]

You get mana regen and it goes against your ongoing cast

[surreal verge]

There's a node in warpath which gives some mana every X seconds if you're 2h-ing

[pastel pebble]

^

Alsp you are wearing Titan's Heart

Use a 2handsr

[leaden tundra]

i am using aptahys maw

how do i respec this then?

[sinful laurel]

Honestly maw kinda sucks until you can get flat crit on it. Maybe that's just me

[leaden tundra]

not wrong it doesnt feel to good but it seemed better than my old wep

[sinful laurel]

Sure sure, but keep an eye out for a good exalted

[leaden tundra]

yeah i have one in my bank

but i want a backup

or

2 lp maw

[pastel pebble]

Apathy's Maw is pretty good, it guarentees Doom

[leaden tundra]

so i can double my chance

[pastel pebble]

Volatile Reversal's lower left hand tree has an increased damage per time rot on enemies

It'll help you upkeept mana a lil too reseting your position and stats to a previous state secojeds ago

[leaden tundra]

right

i just throw on douvring cause its easy and almost mana less

i do use rebuke

RARELY

and i dont like using it XD

[pastel pebble]

Rebuke is cool and niche but it stops your spins

[sinful laurel]

Better off avoiding the hit and keep spinning than Rebuking it

[leaden tundra]

is that really bad to stop spinning?

do i need instant cast anamoly?

[sinful laurel]

It makes you able to cast it while spinning

Idr if it's usually taken though tbh

[leaden tundra]

yeah its 5 points

doesnt seem worth for that

ty for the advice

[sinful laurel]

Boru is the expert in VK.

I just know a little

[leaden tundra]

i guess i will reach out to u if i make ur class

which is?

[sinful laurel]

Rogue main, mage close second

Then acolyte

[leaden tundra]

ah

ifi use rune of ascendance can i get any unique in the game regardless of wether its a boss drop or not?

[sinful laurel]

No. Random drops only

[leaden tundra]

fack

[placid ridge]

Hi guys! I'm quite new to Last Epoch. And so yesterday I've died on my HC character after going from 1st to the 2nd floor in the 1st dungeon (that requires a key). Just spawned dead. Though I was full health and everything... Is it a common bug? Or what happened? I don't like SC, but I also don't want to randomly die like that on HC... That makes me want to wait until the game releases and hope they will fix this bug...

but I kinda want to play this game xd

[sinful laurel]

Loading screen deaths in dungeon are a known bug unfortunately. Strongly advise avoiding that dungeon for now on hc

[placid ridge]

ah ok

I can get away without doing it?

[sinful laurel]

Yup

[placid ridge]

Alright, thank you, gonna try again then 🙂

[leaden tundra]

i droppedthis htought it wasnt very good but its a rare

i guess its a lot of crit dmg

[surreal verge]

It's... specific.

[tranquil silo]

does anyone have suggestions on fast mono farmer? tried out the wrongwarp build but just don't have the gear for it so gonna put it on the shelf

[placid ridge]

any other known bugs I should avoid? 😅

[icy drift]

If you have a melee build with little to no crit multi (no crit multi on skill tree) and high crit chance then it can't be decent.

But it usually ends up kinda mid since it's basically a 2 stat item ( and one negative one)

[knotty tinsel]

those boots are good bait but bait nonetheless

keep in mind you're not just trading physical res for crit multi, you're trading physical res and the option of having boots with more/better affixes

less MS, less attributes, less health, less cdr, depending on what you'd use otherwise

[dapper idol]

can i get some advice for my Mage? im starting to have trouble at Ending the storm

[vocal plank]

I'm no expert but I don't think Haste should have a DoT tag

[acoustic thicket]

It all depends. By its self, yes it is bait... but combined in the right crit build it is very strong. I currently am running those boots on my crit build with no hindrance.

There will be gear that at the moment doesn't seem viable, but with updates to the game comes new gear. With the new gear comes chances to make unused, old, or worthless gear useful.

[knotty tinsel]

the use case I see for them is if you have a reason to completely abandon your defenses in favor of damage, because generic boot affixes tend to be defensive

which is a niche but not one I am likely to use or judge highly

[acoustic thicket]

Yeah, you aren't wrong.

[placid ridge]

What resistances are better to prioritize while leveling? 🙂

[surreal verge]

Physical>void>elemental>necrotic>poison

[knotty tinsel]

after leveling elemental moves to the top but roughly the same order otherwise

[broken burrow]

i cannot figure out why i'm gaining life when flame reave hits things

oh wait, i think i know

nope

[icy drift]

can you send your character profile?

[tropic moon]

if i lower my corruption, will i have more chance to drop common items?

[faint cape]

If you mean common items as in normal items, yes. If you mean common like the common uniques, no.

[tropic moon]

yeah. the common uniques

[acoustic thicket]

On what specs u play LE?

[broken burrow]

Thanks, but i found it on a piece of gear 🫣

[broken burrow]

Are you having trouble?

[acoustic thicket]

No, I didn't even buy the game yet, but I only have 8gb ram, I am downloading PoE to see how that runs so I can compare

[broken burrow]

do you have a dedicated GPU?

8gb of RAM WILL be enough to run the game but the problem is that without a dedicated GPU some of theat RAM is eaten up to be vRAM

@acoustic thicket

[acoustic thicket]

Okay, these are my specs:
Intel Core i5-4570S, 8gb ram, Nvidia GT 1030

[fair sand]

how do I use the legendary potential on a unique ?

I read somewhere its to do with the arenas/dungeons

[dense root]

temporal sanctum

[broken burrow]

What i would recommend is downloading then trying it and you have a playtime limit on steam to get a refund. Those should run the game, albeit at low settings most likely @acoustic thicket

[acoustic thicket]

I know that, I will see how it runs, if I get lags, I will play Grim Dawn

[broken burrow]

I would recommend a cheap upgrade to 16 or 32 GB ram that you can take to your next computer

laptop or desktop?

[acoustic thicket]

I will probably buy a new PC, but I am saving for a car rn

[acoustic thicket]

Desktop

[broken burrow]

ddr4 i assume

35$ @acoustic thicket

[dusky kite]

The joke's on you cause you'll get lags even on giga pumped setups, most lag is caused by memory leaks and netcode

And we recently had a guy with 64 gb ram complain about the client eating half of it

[acoustic thicket]

Only? But I don't know if I have more slots, I need to check

[acoustic thicket]

😭

[dense root]

skeptical that le was using 32 gb ram

like i also have 64 gb and i frequently leave the game open for over a dozen hours and it never goes that high

[acoustic thicket]

So the game is not optimized very well?

[dense root]

it is not

i was able to run it on a fairly old computer until i upgraded earlier this year though

[acoustic thicket]

Hmm

How do they get lag then

[dense root]

i think the lag is more about your connection to the server

[broken burrow]

correct

[dense root]

some of the servers (eu west is a big one i hear about a lot) are not the most stable

[acoustic thicket]

I am Eu west smh

[broken burrow]

I would get 16gb ram, that is more than fine, for 35 bucks, if you have 4 slots that puts you at 24gb, if you don't you replace the 2 you have for 16

i know a lot of people that play multiplayer on EU west fine

they actually connect to US east

[acoustic thicket]

Does PoE also have offline?

[broken burrow]

i play nothing but multiplayer

[acoustic thicket]

I mean LE lol

[broken burrow]

it does

[acoustic thicket]

I am talking in two servers, don't mind me

[broken burrow]

but offline is still online

lol

[dense root]

doesn't offline only need to connect to the server once though?

like you're not constantly communicating back and forth

[acoustic thicket]

Ohh yeah

[broken burrow]

corrwct

[buoyant roost]

Hey all, does Mana Strike's Mana Arc attack benefit from the Mana gain parts of mana strike? Reason why I'm asking is because it's tooltip says it can benefit from other nodes on the tree.

I'm particularly interested in the mana gain on crit part

[dusky kite]

it inherits % damage modifiers and such but it won't gain you mana

[buoyant roost]

Thanks 🙂

Does it also benefit from Rune Sap, just curious?

(That's the added global spell multiplier)

[dusky kite]

just hook up to eu east.. oh wait right

[dusky kite]

I looked it up and no reason why it shouldn't, it's a spell

but yes if you were asking whether the lightning hits would stack the buff, the answer is no

cause it explicitly refers to hits from mana strike

[vocal plank]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/3ApGmReo

So because there are no guides that I can find for a Bleed Squirrel I figured I would at least make one for a build for it. Still has crit like the one from the guide but I tried to focus more on Bleed and armour shred than actual crit
Any idea on where I can try to squeeze out more damage? I have the taste of blood for increased boss dps and beefy rares, and phoenix for more squirrel survivability.

[buoyant roost]

Thanks!

[sterile bane]

thats a weird bui;d

what cc have u got to

[sinful laurel]

Also building any crit into a bleed build doesn't make a lot of sense.

[frail knot]

Hoping to ask a noob question, I'm just levelling atm.

I understand standard monos are 'useless' and I should do empowered ASAP. What level is required to unlock empowered monos? You need to clear a level 90 mono to unlock them (I think) but can that be completed at a lower level?

[sinful laurel]

Whatever level you get there. There is no level difference system here where you will be completely ineffective against enemies higher level than you. No skull enemies

[dense root]

you can do it at any level

[frail knot]

Thanks that's good. I have a lv.69 that has unlocked normal monos but I'm levelling something else now. Is there any benefit for me to unlock empowered on the lv.69 for my new char?

[dense root]

empowered has better drops and exp

[frail knot]

Thx - so I guess kinda useful if I want to farm gear for my new char, but may as well do campaign and monos on the new char to unlock empowered and farm its own gear

[dusky kite]

the mono progress will not be transferred to your alt or anything

but you can ditch the story at around level 40 or so once you are done with getting the lance, by that point you'll have all the skill points and idol unlocks

[frail knot]

Thanks. Would you be able to beat the normal monos easily at such a low level?

[dusky kite]

normal monos are a snoozefest, you'll beat them at level 15

although perhaps not "easily"

if you don't have twink gear

[frail knot]

Ahh. That's good to know, I've been a bit too concerned about level requirements I think.

[faint cape]

Armor shred does nothing for bleeds, so if you want to squeeze damage out of a bleed build, you should focus solely on the bleeds and ignore armor shred and crits.

[knotty tinsel]

~~it does if you're a runemaster ~~

[balmy ore]

I'm getting troube connecting to the game, servers down or so ?

I get the message they are overloaded. Does it mean I cannot play ?

[knotty tinsel]

what region are you in/do you play in?

[balmy ore]

I'm from EU, connecting from France so I guess it autopicks the server close to me ?

[knotty tinsel]

I'm Euwest also and connecting just fine. so I'm not sure

[balmy ore]

Ok this is weird. Let me check something

My misake. Works just fine now. Thanks

[vocal plank]

I am. but I kinda get armour shred either way so i get it anyway

[sterile bane]

i use to try and have wolves that did cold and lightning and bleed and they sucked. you are better sticking with bleed and finding items that help you more with bleed

[vocal plank]

The helm gives both so even with 0 investment I get some. And I do not see other means to get more DoT from the minions than I have. Unless there is a unique I'm missing

[dense osprey]

Is there a way to make a one handed spear/shield build in this game?

[knotty tinsel]

don't exist no

[faint cape]

It's pretty much all on melee attack speed and the phys/bleed stats you can get for your minions. Aside from that, there's phys res shred, which is not going to make or break you.

[knotty tinsel]

you can squint and pretend it's a spear

[dense osprey]

dang

[granite helm]

are there any useful skills for vk warpath besides glyph of hope?

[knotty tinsel]

volatile reversal

[pastel pebble]

Anomaly

[winged robin]

does spell leech work with minions?

Is this build still vaible? Seems OK https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/0AKPq30Q

[vocal plank]

No spell leech does not work with minions. Like other ARPGs unless it says minion it will not effect minions.

[surreal verge]

Unless it says "minion" no.

[nocturne sparrow]

Hi everyone. I can't see any loot except gold for some reason, even after disabling loot filter. How can I fix this?

[knotty tinsel]

press alt + Z, it toggles showing drops of any kind

you can also rebind it in options to not press it again by accident 😛

[nocturne sparrow]

perfect, it worked, ty!

[shell flame]

I have looked and can't find an experienced post.. I am trying to consider what to do with exalted items, stashing them is outpacing my gold income. I've considered keeping only exalted that has 2 synergistic affixes like void dmg + melee atk speed or something.. spell dmg + fire dmg.. etc.. Anyone who has some suggestions on this? I have sold 10 stash pages of exalted, I have 2 alts (but all the exalted seem to be worthless for them).. So do I just sell them? Anyways, thanks for any tips fam 🙂

[broken burrow]

sent you a DM

[leaden tundra]

can u stun bosses?

[dense root]

yes

[leaden tundra]

and the blessing that gives increased stun chance is it multiplier or flat?

[icy drift]

There are no flat stun chance increases afaik

[leaden tundra]

the shrine gives 200% increased stun chance

my stun increased by flat 200

i normally have 0

[icy drift]

That's increased

Not your stun chance

[leaden tundra]

oh

right LOL

[icy drift]

You usually have 0% increased, that doesn't make your stun chance 0

Just means you're not increasing it

[leaden tundra]

where do i find my actual stun chance

[icy drift]

Stun chance is based on the damage you deal and the enemies hp, if you hover over stun avoidance you'll see the formula

You can also press g to get the game guide and search for stun

[leaden tundra]

oh interesting

tyty

[cedar zodiac]

Guys, I'm kind of stuck with " lagon ", I'm not being able to kill it...
He hurts me a lot and I don't hurt him, some advices?

[leaden tundra]

wish me luckkk

[leaden tundra]

are you crafting ur gear?

for defences and damage for ur build?

[cedar zodiac]

I already managed to kill them, after dying several times I learned their attack patterns... xDD
my build is minion archers, physical + spell minions

[leaden tundra]

i am not sure about ur daamge i am new as well ik a little bit about dfence at ur stage of the game

u got good resistances and health

how is ur endurance and crit avoidance

and also that boss is supposed ot be diffcult u cant tank any mechs

[cedar zodiac]

what is mech?

[leaden tundra]

mechanics of the boss

the attack patterns

and skills the boss does

[cedar zodiac]

It was fun, at least it was the only boss that I really noticed difficulty with so far.

If I noticed something low in damage.... since I had to be very attentive to the boss hahha

[leaden tundra]

haha yeah i felt the same

when i did that boss

[cedar zodiac]

What I don't know is when the campaign ends... I don't even know where I am. I only walk forward... xDD

[leaden tundra]

as long as u do all the quests get all the skill points and idol slots keep going forward

[surreal verge]

That is not good HP.

Most will be at 1k+- at lagon

(Lagon is the 2nd last major boss, you passed the build check boss)

[cedar zodiac]

What are the pieces where I should prioritize life?

[surreal verge]

Everywhere technically.

There's hybrid health affixes that exist on belts,boots and gloves.

[cedar zodiac]

Ah, so I didn't think so badly, however I didn't find pieces that gave me resistance and life.
or with minions mods.

[surreal verge]

Ah, crafting might be in order then-

[fair sand]

is there a reason why I didnt get the Avarice gloves from quests ?? I ran through the campaign on 3 characters

and Im on my 4th, it mentions to equip Avarice... and I dont have it

I just have this here and nothing else

oh I read into it and I gave them to artem instead which prevented me from getting the gloves I see

[pine trail]

So I noticed I have 2 types of mags when cast........looks to be yellow and blue. I'm guessing blue s frost/ice/freeze, yelow is fire ??

[faint cape]

Mags?

Like the skeletal mages? There's 4 types, and the type(s) you can summon depend on your spec tree

[pine trail]

Mages* sorry missed an e lol

Yeah summon skeletel mages

Working of freeze atm

[faint cape]

If you took the cryomancer node and want to get rid of the default mage, you have to take the node that disables the default one

otherwise you have half cold mages, half necrotic mages

kinda like summon skeletons

[pine trail]

Where that at? Can't seem to find it on the tree

I did take cryo

Oh I see it now

The one in the upper left corner, removes mages

[faint cape]

Yeah, right behind the cryo node (the pyro node has the same setup if you ever want to run those)

[hardy fossil]

Are there any decent support builds this patch?

[cunning citrus]

is there any other way to salvage items other than the rune. i get so few of them

[faint cape]

It's not typical to make a pure support build, but various classes do provide synergy amongst each other. Paladin has a lot of generic support. Druid has some really strong conditional support. Others mainly incidentally support through debuffs on enemies.

[faint cape]

There's the other rune, removal. No need to salvage everything, just stuff with high-ish tier rare affixes on it

[acoustic thicket]

Do u need better performance for LE or PoE to run it?

[pine trail]

Woohoo, got my ice mages, now all I need are my other 2 golems

So if I go twined golem then ivory golem, does ivory give me an extra bone golem?

Says golem summons also sumon a bone golem, so the wording is kinda confusing if I'm already using bone golem

[surreal verge]

It basically makes it so that bone golem can pop up again if you're using other golem types.

[pine trail]

right, but what if I'm not using another type of golem?

[surreal verge]

Then that line can be ignored.

(By default converting a golem to another type makes it only spawn that type. Ivory cancles that prevention, making you summon one type and then a bone)

[pine trail]

Somone said I could get 4 bone golems with gear, but without the gear I could still get 3 bone golem, so trying to figure out where in the tree I ned to go, to get the 2 other golems

[surreal verge]

It's only 2.

the gear is Aaron's Will, it's a very rare chest unique

[pine trail]

ohh ok, now it makes sense lol

[surreal verge]

Ivory doesn't increased the golem cap

[pine trail]

So the 2 includes the twin golem as part of that or is there anoter one I'm missing?

[surreal verge]

If you're using aaron's will you don't take twined.

Allows to a cap of 4, but that's perfect gear.

It's more commonly at 3.

[pine trail]

I don't have anygear of any kind, just trying to find it on the tree for future reference

[surreal verge]

https://lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAwRgrATA7BQ

[pine trail]

I have the one, I think I'm overlooking the 2nd

[tranquil silo]

is there any good guide on low life shadow daggers? trying to understand what gear i need to make the swap from the traditional build

[pine trail]

Ohh nice nice, I'll be on the lookout for that for sure

[tranquil silo]

i've seen planners of crazy geared ones but not really much on low investment

[surreal verge]

Pretty sure this is all you need for 3 golems, if you want 4 it's a different matter

[pine trail]

So the chest gear for the 3, what about the 2nd golem?

[surreal verge]

It makes 2nd and 3rd.

[dense root]

there is no low investment version

[pine trail]

Oh wait, theres a search DOH lol

[dense root]

low life is bad unless you have almost everything

[surreal verge]

The 4th is another matter.

[surreal verge]

By Speccing into summon skeletons and making your max skeletons 8, the chest itself will give you 2 extra golems, without twinned.

[hexed bolt]

i cant change my loot filters -.- someone know this bug? when i want to edit something, only a rule get spammed "show every item"

and i have this now in all my loot filters...

[pine trail]

So I have a single golem now, with no gear.......where is the other golem located?

[surreal verge]

Do you have aaron's will

Do you have summon skeleton specced?

[pine trail]

No arrons, but I have skel mage and skel summon specced

[surreal verge]

you need aarons or it doesn't work.

[pine trail]

not even for 2?

[surreal verge]

Aarons is the enabler, technically.

[pine trail]

Ahh ok, so I'm not losing my mind lol

[surreal verge]

Not even for two, if you want two without aaron's you'l need to take twinned again

[pine trail]

hrmm, what to do........

[runic hinge]

Is the 1.5% leech from the Sorcerer penetration passives typically so much health sustain that it torpedoes your ability to run a low-life build? Or does the degen from Exsang/LSotL/Exp gloves outweigh it and it's not a problem?

[surreal verge]

Depends on damage.
5k damage is 75 health.

Answer:Most likely, unless you're not doing damage.

[tranquil silo]

yeah i was aware but iw as thinking with the new experimental affix the gearing requirement is lower

[dense root]

it’s not

[tranquil silo]

is it a drastic swap between the two that i can't just try it out ?

[hexed bolt]

someone know that bug with the loot filters?

[dense root]

since you have to use frostbite shackles

the experimental affix means it has a higher ceiling because now you can get that on your shackles if you farm a bit

but the basic requirements didn’t change and are still very high

[buoyant roost]

Hey all, question... can Amplified Cascade on Runebolt trigger effects that rely on cold skills and fire skills? Reason I am asking is because I want it to apply status effects that only work on cold skills or only work on fire skills. Amplified cascade makes it trielemental.

[tranquil silo]

so do you mind confirming if im correct on the "requirements"

frostbite shackles w/wo lp (but ideally ward experimental on it)
last steps with cdr
exsang with inc damage or health
cold res heirloom(2x?)

then also the idols as i can get them (the longest farm?)

[dense root]

something like that

[native sail]

Status effects/ailments aren't limited by damage type. Any damage type can apply ignite if you have chance to ignite for example.

[dense root]

in terms of hitting the bare minimum i don’t think it necessarily matters exactly where the cdr, health, etc. comes from

but obviously the optimized builds have all the affixes in specific places so you may as well aim for them in those spots to begin with

[native sail]

I'd say you need Exsang with %health, body armor is a HUGE health boon

[buoyant roost]

I'm thinking of '120% chance to ignite on hit with fire skill'. Will it apply with a tri-elemental skill though? 😮

[native sail]

Tri elemental skills are still technically fire skills

So it should still work

[surreal verge]

Tri elemental skills counts as fire, cold and lightning skills.

[cedar zodiac]

One question, why do maps sometimes take so long to load?

[native sail]

Server issues mostly

[buoyant roost]

Sweet!

That is the best!

[pine trail]

% crit strike chance on a wep, does that pertain to casting or just melee?

[sterile bane]

oh shit is dev stream on>?

[native sail]

Depends on the phrasing

[native sail]

I think so

[pine trail]

Just says % strike chance, but the main is melee damage

[native sail]

If it doesn't specify melee then it's just generic crit chance for anything except minions

[pine trail]

Hitting alt it just says chance to crit, doesn't specify if it's melee(wep) crit or spell crit

[surreal verge]

DOes the affix say melee or spell? If not, it's generic.

[native sail]

^

[pine trail]

Just says increases your chance to deal a crit strike

[surreal verge]

So it's generic and applies to all skills that can crit.

[pine trail]

Nice! Getting some sweet drops for my lvl tonight. Got a set belt drop earilier, adds minion damage and some other stuff

[native sail]

Pebbles sash. Great Necro leveling item.

[pine trail]

Yep thats it

bitemarked sash

Finally got a yellow mace drop. Did some affix on it, got 34% crit, 67% minions dmg, 40% necratic damage and 9 health on kill.......was a big jumo from the blu one I had maxed out

[native sail]

Keep in mind that minions don't inherit stats from you

[pine trail]

Correct, but hungering souls was sadly low dps. I went from like 157 to now 225 dps with this mace after affixing

[native sail]

Oh are you trying the weird HS setup with the damage multiplier for having 3 minions?

[pine trail]

nah, just trying to lvl up, but taking it slow to build up stuff. Doing a pet build, and haen't gotten hardly anything for minions damage in like 2 days, so was hard to build up any damage. Today I've gotten a LOT of good drops for some reason so I beefed up some stuff

I went from like lvl 12 - 20 and got maybe 2 minon damage gear, was horrible

[tranquil silo]

ok thanks a lot

[pine trail]

Using hungering soulds as my main attack, would spirit plague be better?

[tranquil silo]

gonna level the char today and try to get it lowlife in 1week of grindingg

o7

[native sail]

Spirit Plague falls off quicker in monos but it's a decent skill for leveling.

[pine trail]

True, thats why I was using souls instead as my main attack. I could use rip but it only has a 98dps heh

Soulds is kinda cool, because it seeks out stuff which is handy

omg why am I mispelling souls!

wth is a sould anywways lol

[native sail]

It's a soul you made solid

[pine trail]

HAHAHA

SOULD to the highest bidder!

[pine trail]

So whats it mean if it says +1 to a stat? ie: +1 to summon golem

[sinful laurel]

you get plus 1 to skill levels

to assign in the tree

thats not a stat fyi. dexterity, strength etc are stats

[buoyant roost]

Hey all, can multiple projectiles in runebolt hit the same enemy?

[native sail]

I don't think so

[runic hinge]

For ailments with max stacks, how does the game decide when/if to use newer stacks vs. older stacks?

For instance, if I have a higher-damage stack of Spreading Flames affecting an enemy, and I hit them with an attack that would apply a lower-damage stack of Spreading Flames, what happens? Does the new one overwrite the old one (and lower my damage)? Does the new one get ignored (because it's lower damage)? Does the game track both their durations in the background and apply the higher-damage one until it expires, then fall back on the lower-damage one (which would have been suppressed until the higher-damage one expired, since only one Spreading Flames stack can apply at a time)?

[faint cape]

New stack deletes the oldest stack when at cap

[runic hinge]

Hm, that's rough for some builds. Thanks.

[faint cape]

It is indeed, I think these low/single stack ailments pretty much all need some major changes to be usable for damage

[sinful laurel]

agreed, cool concept, lackluster execution

[faint cape]

(at least late game, early game stuff like spreading flames just stomps everything)

[sinful laurel]

would be cool of those single stack ailments interacted with each other

kinda like the two dot quickhacks in cp2077

[native sail]

Or like ailments in Gunfire Reborn

[marsh maple]

God I miss gunfire I should play it again

[sinful laurel]

never even heard of it 😦

oh it looks rad

looks like borderlands but better

[native sail]

It's a roguelike. Good game.

[buoyant roost]

Hey question... can it do it if it has the explosion at the end? I was watching a video and someone said maybe on it. But I wanted to check.

[native sail]

As far as I am aware they have designed it so nothing can shotgun even explosions unless stated otherwise

[frozen sandal]

ive found like 5-6 CtC divine bolt and 0 CtC smite idols, is that typical, or just rng?

[sinful laurel]

Smite idols are rare

Get that adorned idol blessing and hope

[frozen sandal]

im still in campaign

[sinful laurel]

Ah then you have a way to go. If you found a smite idol in campaign that would be quite lucky

[frozen sandal]

gotcha thanks. wasnt sure if they were same rarity as the divine bolt ones or not

good to know tho, since i am sorta building with a respec in mind so i need to recalibrate to have a more endgame ready build without it

[vapid ruin]

Is +X Ward Per Second actually adding Ward per second so effectively just another way to combat Ward Decay?

[native sail]

Yes

[vapid ruin]

Is it more efficient than Ward Retention % or is it essentially a dead stat?

[royal flint]

hi guys wondering why i dont have any frostbite on cold hit shards in my inventory at all, even though i've shattered more than a couple of these?

[sinful laurel]

They synergize well together

[sinful laurel]

Shattering is a random chance to get shards. Use removals to guarantee full recovery

[royal flint]

hm yeah i also used removal on one of them just to be sure but i'll see if it pops up again then.

[quick raft]

Im playing with hydrahedron and it doesn't seem that cast speed affects its rate of fire. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

[supple flax]

When does Monolith of Fate unlock, is it level or quest unlock?

[carmine coyote]

As soon as you go for mastery

That would be around lvl13

[vapid ruin]

LoL? What's this

[sterile bane]

Beer is one of the oldest types of alcoholic drinks in the world,[1][2][3] and the most widely consumed.[4] It is the third most popular drink overall after potable water and tea.[5] It is produced by the brewing and fermentation of starches, mainly derived from cereal grains—most commonly malted barley, though wheat, maize (corn), rice, and oats are also used. During the brewing process, fermentation of the starch sugars in the wort produces ethanol and carbonation in the resulting beer.[6] Most modern beer is brewed with hops, which add bitterness and other flavours and act as a natural preservative and stabilising agent. Other flavouring agents such as gruit, herbs, or fruits may be included or used instead of hops. In commercial brewing, the natural carbonation effect is often removed during processing and replaced with forced carbonation.[7]

[sterile widget]

Drink it and find out

[mossy scarab]

What would be the best way to farm exiled mages/rune prisons?

[sterile bane]

higher cc echoes

[odd blaze]

hi, was there a reset? All my stash tabs are empty except 1 for some reason.

[sterile widget]

nope - try log out and log in again - if that doesn't work, try a different region. otherwise, submit support ticket.

!support

[ripe brook]

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

[junior aspen]

D4 spoiled me, I doubt this a feature but figured I'd ask any way. Is there a way to recover a deleted character?

[carmine coyote]

Download your previous cloud file

Or talk to support

[vocal plank]

I was under the impression that you couldn't get a crit on an experimental mod. Apparently you can, the recording software i use is apparently bugging so i can't show

[opal horizon]

is there way to display tier of affix without pressing button?

[vocal plank]

Not that I'm aware but you kinda get an eye for some of the more common ones as you go

[opal horizon]

it would be nice to have feature i guess

[vocal plank]

Yea.
Honestly I hope they give totem all res because they have ele res but no all res

[sterile bane]

Why do you want to give totem more res??

[opal horizon]

what considered as rare enemy

[icy drift]

The enemies with the yellow and blue crescent moon thing above their head

[opal horizon]

so blue name isn't

[hexed bolt]

ehm, where do i report a dupe glitch?

[surreal verge]

in game bug report. But most 'dupes' are just visual dupes, so make sure it IS a dupe.

[hexed bolt]

it is not just visual

[surreal verge]

Then report it with the in-game bug report.

[icy drift]

Duping should be near impossible, make sure to log out and then back in to make sure

It'll act like a real item until you relog if it's a ghost item

[hexed bolt]

oh ok yeah, after relogging it is gone^^ yeah sry then

[icy drift]

Yup it happens because your client thinks there's two, but the server is the one that actually decides (server authoritative), so after you relog and the server updates your client the dupe goes away (since the server knows there's only one)

[surreal verge]

Oh I should put relog into the testing cycle as well

[hexed bolt]

ok, good to know, was confused because i could equip the items and shatter them, but yeah after relog there was only one left

[rugged sinew]

To make them tankier?

[fair sand]

what does the rune of research actually do ?? I dont quite get it from reading it

does it isolate an affix I dont want to delete while using a rune of removal ??

[toxic echo]

rune of research takes the experimental affix on an item, and seals that 100% of the time. making room for another affix you can craft on. once sealed, it cannt be removed or modified. can also get a glyph of insight from using the rune, which adds a random experimental affix onto an empty affix slot

[royal flint]

when do t7 exalts start dropping lol i'm already at empowered..

[sterile widget]

They are quite rare

[knotty tinsel]

level 90 or above

so just unlucky

[rain gyro]

when combining items to craft a legendary item, do i need to use same item types? i.e. a unique amulet i can only insert another exalted amulet to slam with?

[surreal verge]

Yes.

[dusky kite]

It's been known since day 1, you had incorrect info

[dusky kite]

cause survivability is a major issue for storm totem for instance

[dusky kite]

except that glyph of insight does not add random affixes, it's deterministic and all the conditions had been datamined, you can look it up. Although those conditions are.. well.. fairly esoteric

[sacred cove]

what should i start trying to to corruption echoes? Lvl 90?

when*

[dusky kite]

as soon as you are able to, most people will do campaign till about 40 (you'll get all the idol slots/passives by then), then speed running the right side monos to empowered, which you should hit at about 70, then just do empowered

stackign corruption in normal monos is a waste of time

[surreal verge]

Don't push corruption unless you're at empowered, normal monoliths have a cap of 50

(empowered starts at 100(

[sacred cove]

okey, im still not done with the right side of monos. Im like lvl 75 now, and just started the 85-ish monos. So i guess im getting close then

[mighty dirge]

At what level range does the campaign end?

[dusky kite]

your level heavily depends on how much trash you clear along the way (cause the meta is to speedrun killing as few mobs as possible), but if you clear a reasonable amount it will be around level 60-65

[surreal warren]

somewhere like 55-60

[vestal stone]

Hey guys i just hit level 63 and unlocked the blessings quest. should I move onto lvl 62 monos or is there a point of redoing lvl 58 monos?

[dusky kite]

#❔┃ask-the-community message

doing any content below empowered is largely a waste of time so you want to minimize it

[vestal stone]

oh so just move onto lvl 62 monos?

[dusky kite]

wait is it the stolen lance one?

[sacred cove]

oh, ive been taking my time and clearing out stuff to get the XP:P

[vestal stone]

not sure since I can't get in the game 😦

[dusky kite]

basically if you are on lance then you want to keep doing the left side anyways, but pick the level 85 mono in blood frost and death

will be faster than redoing the first mono and going into the black sun

[vestal stone]

ok thanks! will take note on that and see if I can get in!

[dusky kite]

but generally speaking you want to move to black sun (66) from the first mono cause the three monos on the left have blessings related to item drops and give no stats blessings, so you'll likely want to skip them and maybe do them in empowered later on

[rain gyro]

so unless target farming theres no real loss to skipping the blessings on those islands?

[tranquil drift]

First time experiencing a queue. How long does it usually take to get in?

[dusky kite]

well they do have some benefit to target farming shit, but it's not that much of a benefit and you shouldn't really worry about it while you are still doing low level content

[strange kindle]

seems like a forever kind of thing

[dusky kite]

cause going from 0 or 100 to 300 corruption will have a vastly greater effect on your loot quality than a blessing of like 50% more chance of finding wands

[candid elm]

When you get to Empowered you also can get Blessings with a higher value range that are all just straight up better than the regular Blessings. So you might as well just try to get those instead.

[dusky kite]

^ that too

[rain gyro]

ok i just landed in empowered and i was planning on doing that ty

[vestal stone]

@dusky kite hey ashunava, I am in lance. Do I fill all bonus stability and keep running them until I can get to black sun?

[dusky kite]

you can't get to black sun from lance

[candid elm]

Once the stability bar at the top is full, you can fight the boss of the monolith after doing two quests - over on the left side of the map screen. Generally you want to just clear the echo objective and move onto the next one.

[dusky kite]

you do lance once and move on to the next mono which I think is blood frost and death but maybe not cause I'm not in game rn

once you get to blood frost and death you will be able to return to the main "branch" from there

[candid elm]

If you want to get to Black Sun, go back to Fall of the Outcasts, do the boss again, and pick the area 66 option at the end. Or continue on from Stolen Lance to Blood, Frost, and Death, which leads to Ending the Storm.

[dusky kite]

by picking the level 85 option in quests

[runic lance]

is runemaster really that OP? i remember my warpath VK having easier time to deal with monolith bosses, but it was quite some time ago so wasnt sure

[dusky kite]

well comparing one class to another broadly isn't productive, but rm has some builds that are certainly OP as fuck

but if you are not playing those builds, this is irrelevant for you

[runic lance]

which RM build are consider more powerful may i know?

[vestal stone]

so sorry for asking too many questions. I just downloaded loot filter for my build and I just got magic armor with 1 line of effect that seems really important. What should I do with this magic item?

[dusky kite]

hydra, frostbite/shotgun frost claw seem to be way above average

[candid elm]

Here's a picture of the map. The ones with two paths leading from them you can just repeat and pick the other option. That said, you can also just push into Empowered by doing the 3x level 90 monoliths and that will unlock all of them.

[dusky kite]

damn the connection to reign of dragons is actually from fall of the empire

big sad

[dusky kite]

nobody can tell you that cause we don't know what the item is, what your build is, or what the filter maker's purpose was for highlighting that

but generally speaking you'll probably want to rune of removal it for affix shards if it's a rare affix

cause blue items have pretty much zero crafting potential

[candid elm]

If you want to post a picture of it, use Win + Shift + S to draw a box around the item's stats and then paste the image here, we can maybe tell you.

Perhaps it's boots with movement speed on them or something.

[vestal stone]

I'm doing bladedancer rogue and got a blue item with 39% physical penetration with shadow daggers

[knotty tinsel]

blue = 1-2 affix, yellow = 3-4 affix

[dusky kite]

yea just rune of removal this

[knotty tinsel]

items that drop yellow tend to have more forging potential than blue, and those more than white, and all of those less than purple

[knotty tinsel]

this is the way

[vestal stone]

ok thanks so much

was really confused. u guys are the best

[rustic flicker]

anyone else getting this on login? should I wait like i'm in a queue or just try back later?

[dusky kite]

take a look at the general chat, everybody is getting login errors rn

[rustic flicker]

ah o

i'm sorry, first time in the discord, for some reason i missed the general channel

[wooden compass]

not sure if it's a queue or...

stuck at the screen for quite some time

[pine trail]

So shattering purple vs blue would I get more shards?

[dusky kite]

it's not a queue and the issue is on steam side

[knotty tinsel]

overall yes but purple items are rare early on. so only do it if you know the item has no use to you

[dusky kite]

generally yes, as you can get up to the number of shards equal to the affix tier

[pine trail]

Nice...... what about sell value, do yellows sell more than blues, or purples more than yellows?

[dusky kite]

sure, blues sell for 3 gold, yellows for 10 and purples for 30

stonks

(you get like 30k for completing an echo)

[sinful laurel]

That's walking around money right there 🙂

[pine trail]

I'm like lvl 23 or 25 or so, I'm at a point I have affixed my gear to 0, so basically just completing the main story line but gathering stuff to sell or shatter when possible so I'll probably filter out blues and do just yellows. I seem to be getting a lot of yellows

[dusky kite]

looting crap to sell it isn't worth the mouse clicks, but yea surely you can try picking up the more rare affixes or simply those that are more relevant for your build to shatter them

[pine trail]

Right, that's what I've been doing. Been leaving a lot of stuff behind because nothing really of worth compared to what I have currently I've affixed as much as I can for the most part. Seems I don't get a lot of minions dmg. I went 2-3 days and got 2 minion dmg, then yesterday I got a buttload of minion dmg items. I'm at 250.minion dmg right now. Even the necro spell dmg and such that drops isn't as good as what I've affixed already so might as well sell the yellows or shatter them. I have like 15 shatter stones. Been buying them when I have gold, but at 2k per gold goes fast

[spring lance]

guys how long does it take to log in today? been more than 10 mins waiting now :/

[pine trail]

I'm at the end something or other in the main storyline. I'm guessing that's fairly close to the main story ending? Or is there more to go?

[dusky kite]

it's a steam-sided outage, take a look at the genral chat - people have no luck with more or less any game that logs in through steam login servers

who knows when gaben is going to fix it

[tranquil drift]

Does restarting steam help at all?

[dusky kite]

no idea

probably not

[pine trail]

If it's a steam server issues/outage, restarting steam won't do a thing, because it's server side not client side

[tranquil drift]

It totally fixed it

Restarted steam now I am in

[pine trail]

Maybe a le thing, dunno

[dusky kite]

gold drops really ramp up in endgame especially with the gold blessing, as well as the rune of shattering drops too

[acoustic thicket]

Is flurry attack speed 24/7 bugged? I relogged in a couple of times and its still the same, does that mean its working accordingly to my stats?

[pine trail]

I heard someone saying they had to start le like multiple times to get in. We were thinking it was a hardware thing, cpu needed upgraded maybe

[pine trail]

So I don't collect and sell a ton, I normally collect, by that time I've finished either the full quest or partial, so I sell while. In town or portal maybe once in awhile. Mostly I just leave it laying and move on. I try to make it where I gather items just before having to go to town to finish stuff, then sell

[mystic wagon]

yes server up in asia ne

also restarted steam once

[pine trail]

@dusky kite for the most part, even the yellows, aren't of much use to even shatter to be honest. I've played a LOT of rpg so I'm getting where I can glance over the stats with a mouse hover to see if anything is worth grabbing.

First couple or three days I really had to look at gear to see stats, now it's easier, which helps

[spring lance]

needed to restart steam quite a number of times... just keep trying, guys

[dusky kite]

It's honestly more a matter of loot filters but obviously you get better at reading items with experience

[pine trail]

Thankfully I haven't had any issues at all

[dusky kite]

I just label the crap with rare class specific items a certain color and shatter/remove them en masse, obviously it's not a big deal for each individual blue/yellow or even purple drop

Cause while purples drop like candy later on the general rule still applies and most of them will be crap

[pine trail]

Yep, I haven't set much as far as filters yet. I have white/grey hidden, and minion dmg set as purple and caps when it drops, but even then it's not as good as what I have already.
Gonna change the color though, then I can see when a purple drops heh

Chose purple for minion dmg gear so it would stand out, didn't even think about purple gear dropping lol

Debating on weather I wanna use 1h+shld or 2h...... 2h tends to have more dmg, but I dunno yet

Minions do most the dmg anyways so thinking better to have 1h+shld to better block

What I REALLLY need it the necro chest for more golems

[dense root]

golem chest is a trap tbh

single golem > multi golem

[pine trail]

A trap?

[dense root]

not a good item

[royal flint]

Are there any "guides" for bosses or are they generally straightforward?

Just curious coz I got rekt by the tentacle dude. Sometimes he slams his claw down instead of doing the one shot/red eye mechs...

[dense root]

i would imagine there are guides on youtube

but every boss basically comes down to “dodge anything telegraphed while doing as much damage as you can”

[royal flint]

Yeah I got into a rhythm of dodging his one shots using flame rush then suddenly he started slamming his claw down thrice in a row and stunning me feelsbadman

[pine trail]

Why is it not good? What would be better or another gear?

[surreal verge]

If you die to lagon's claw slam then you have a defense issue.

[royal flint]

I definitely do, literally running with 300 armour 25% Phys res ☠️

[surreal verge]

And less than 1k hp?

[royal flint]

Hmmm technically yes, but I'm a ward build, so no? But getting stunned means I'm screwed

Usually have anywhere from 1k to 3k ward depending. Can go up to 5k

[surreal verge]

Oh yeah then phys res is the issue then

[rain gyro]

https://i.imgur.com/rFnX01z.png im starting to feel the hurt in empowered monos is there anything in particular def wise i should aim for? i have neck that i flex in if im end up dying to phys dmg thats why its below cap atm.

[dense root]

more health

cap endurance

cap crit avoid

[rain gyro]

as i the %

[dense root]

the % yeah

[pastel pebble]

Yeah your resistances need to be capprd

[dusky kite]

its kinda meh anyways

the best golem build is the retaliation one

[dense root]

you don’t need overcapped res like you have for fire, cold, lightning

that would be the most basic stuff

[rain gyro]

yeh, i figured but thats how it is. my gear ended up with some rolls ele res

health first is there a number i should aim for rn?

[dense root]

all three are important really

[rain gyro]

gotcha

[sonic flume]

isnt 150 the res cap due to res pen, or does it not work that way?

[dense root]

it does not

[pastel pebble]

^

[dense root]

technically marked for death and shred do work that way but it’s still not worth it to overcap if you could be doing literally anything else with that affix

[sonic flume]

so resistance is only so you do not take 75% bonus dmg from enemy pen scaling?

[surreal verge]

No, it's 115 even with shred.
