[dense root]

yes it is

[pale timber]

ill smoke that one sec

[native sail]

It statistically is, actually

[dense root]

it offers better damage and better defenses

i could be convinced that in very specific situations it's worse

i.e. if you had 10000 crit multi somehow then the extra multi wouldn't matter and 8 int would be better

but in an overwhelming majority of situations that item will give you more damage and more ehp than a scales

[native sail]

[dense root]

i mean yeah

[dense root]

yeah deias's item is still better

[pale timber]

how?

[dense root]

especially if your spell crit chance isn't perfectly rolled

[native sail]

That's great. Mine has ward retention, higher average flat crit, can get all of those stats equal or higher.

[dense root]

well it can't get the int but yeah

[native sail]

Meh, int can be grabbed easily anywhere

[dense root]

sure i agree

[pale timber]

crit is so easy to cap tho

[native sail]

(I'm an anti-attribute person)

[dense root]

barring some specific exceptions this is not true

[pale timber]

on an int stacker i mean

[dense root]

still not true

even if you take the 1 int = 3% spell crit node

like let's say you have an astounding 150 int. you probably don't but let's imagine you do

[pale timber]

uhh i

i have more

[dense root]

really?

[pale timber]

sec

[dense root]

now i have different questions

[native sail]

Please tell me you're a ward build

[dense root]

why are your resists so high

[pale timber]

cuz i got glyph of dominatoon or whatever

[steel merlin]

thats a lot of int

[pale timber]

im missing it on my boots and relic too

its not for this build though guys, this is my spark charge character, its for a different idea i have i just wanted to know how the item worked

the whole reason is because I cannot find any good catalysts to fit into the build other than an exalted 7/5/5/5 crystal skull

[native sail]

I have played Scales in endgame, please just take it from me that it isn't worth trying if you aren't actively using its effect.

[pale timber]

and i was thinking if i get the 7 off onto a scales, it would be better if it functions the way that they cancel eachother out

well all my firedamage would be going up by 4%MORE per sec for 10 sec and then 10 sec down

that seems like amazing

[native sail]

It isn't

There are so many ways to beat Scales with zero downside

[pale timber]

i legit CANNOT see how assuming 1LP t7 vs reasonable exalted

ie one t7

there is no downside if it works the way i am basing this conversation on

if the overloads dont cancel out, then yes it sucks

[native sail]

They don't cancel

One will ALWAYS be active

They basically queue

[pale timber]

k case closed then its trash

ty, it was a misunderstanding,

like whne you said this, i was asuming if it did nothing it was just free 4% per sec

whichy was negligible to u

[old jolt]

Is there a recommended minimum level for lightless arbor dungeon?

[pale timber]

Yea okay, I just tested it, I'm NEVER getting lightning overload on my build just lightning infusion, IE 10% MORE and 6% LESS from cold simultaneously, they overload at the same time, and the lightning gets canceled and im left with cold

this is guaranteed free lightning damage on a GREAT base

[dusky kite]

depends on how much alt gear you have

in first character mode level 35-40 or so I guess?

[native sail]

I don't fucking care anymore, believe what you want to believe even though it's been tested relentlessly and has numerically been worse every single time.

[pale timber]

lol then if you're going to answer a question at least answer it properly so a discussion doesnt spiral out of control for no reason, which leaves u frustrated

[sinful laurel]

Just my two cents, there is a reason that scales isn't represented in almost any published build or endgame setup

[knotty tinsel]

what have I joined in on

[pale timber]

I simply asked "does the overloads from scales cancel out if i use a dual element to trigger it"

[knotty tinsel]

why would it work like that

they both happen at the same time

[pale timber]

yes, the result is the first one appearing in the drop down gets canceled so you will never get the first overload

[knotty tinsel]

is there an order of operations gimmick that I'm not aware of

[dense root]

what confuses me is deias did provide an answer to that question but you didn't believe her and went and tested it yourself

so why even ask

[pale timber]

cause he wasn't clear AND was wrong

[dense root]

she*

and i think deias was clear tbh

but also whether or not she was wrong you can't have known that at the time you decided to test

which is why i'm wondering why you bothered asking if you weren't going to accept the answer

[pale timber]

okay, i wasn't satisfied with the explaination of "it isn't worth it"

i just wanted to know how it works, idc if its good or not

and the way they explained it made it seem good to me

[knotty tinsel]

ok I think I'm read up, but does this even matter because I thought getting a less-damage mod is much more detrimental than the good of a more-damage mod, even with a bigger number

[hot carbon]

yee haw pardners now this is getting really and mighty dehydratin in here and i just think we should move on teh greener pastures ye know what i mean, gunslingers?

[sinful laurel]

This is why people are frustrated I think man. You simultaneously say you don't care if it's good and then in the next sentence that it sounds like it's good

[pastel pebble]

TBF I also ignore Deias' advice

[hot carbon]

boru you don’t even listen to me

and i’m the best

[pale timber]

Does whether something is good or not matter when someone is trying to understand the game

to apply for future scenarios

[hot carbon]

ye see pardners i think you should try understandin the technique of movin quickly on

[sinful laurel]

This is why people are confused and frustrated. Because you decidedly DIDNT just ask a mechanics question

[hot carbon]

fr though i don’t see anything coming of this

lay it to rest

[sinful laurel]

But I have no dog in this fight.

[hot carbon]

you’re continuing it, though

[sinful laurel]

Nope

Donezo

[hot carbon]

when all that do have dissipated

[hot carbon]

thank you

is that one sword for void knight any good? the one that adds flat damage and such. from glancing at it, it seems mainly like a weapon you use until you get a good exalt. if they’re easy to get lp on, is it better to use a good legendary one than an exalt?

[sinful laurel]

Eclipse?

[dense root]

dreamthorn?

[hot carbon]

dreamthorn

[dense root]

it's decent

[sinful laurel]

Dreamthorn is decent yeah

[dense root]

there is better gear but you can use dreamthorn for a while

[hot carbon]

it also looks radical as heaven

better uniques, or exalts?

[dense root]

both tbh

[sinful laurel]

Depends on what you are doing

Or trying tovdo

[hot carbon]

c l e a v e

[dense root]

like apathy's maw is a better 2h unique for melee void

but also you can definitely make exalted 2h weapons that deal more damage

[sinful laurel]

Only with LP crit though really I think. VK hurts for crit

[hot carbon]

mmm, i see. so it’s primarily a gearing item, used to obtain better stuff and then to be cast wayward

[dense root]

dreamthorn doesn't have flat crit either though

[sinful laurel]

But yeah dreamthorn is a stepping stone

[sinful laurel]

True, why it's just decent. Unless you have some crazy LP shenanigans

Dream also worth noting, VC has significantly better crit than other VK skills

Bottom left, especially if you use ES as well

[inner steeple]

Any1 else has the problem that the game crashes as soon as selecting online mode?

[hot carbon]

(try that)

[pastel pebble]

I deny that guarentee node

IMO you're better off putting extra points into the V. Shred or Crit Vuln nodes

[sinful laurel]

How come? I'm very far from a VK expert, so correct me daddy

[pastel pebble]

It's only one hit

[sinful laurel]

Isn't erasing strike one big hit?

[pastel pebble]

It's just a large skill point commigment for something that you're wanting to max out anyways

[shell flame]

Cleaning out my idols - For the ones I am saving, should I consider saving like 10 of each, 5 of each? for health regen/resistance as example, should I keep 10 of each resistance idol with regen? Eh.. Thoughts from anyone is helpful 🙂

[dusky kite]

I mean I'm also not a vk main but the synergy between VC and ES sounds reasonable

like my cleave boi isn't too high up in corruption but I'm not seeing any significantly better point value in ES

[sinful laurel]

Are youvplanning on playing cycle reset?

[shell flame]

I don't see why not considering I just read about we may not have to restart our characters to take part in cycles.. aside from leaderboards perhaps, so that sounds really up my alley as I hate arpg mmo season leveling grinds heh

[pastel pebble]

You wanna put pints in the top right sections for crit chance, melee crit, and void essence. You're then going dor the no cooldown node after the echo node. You'll be chaining ES and as you crit you'll hit your void essences needed to trigger the Void Well passage to set your mana back to 30% of itd max (3sec cooldown on that passive)

I've managed to chain 20+ strikes before having to move

So that guarentee'd crit node becomes obselete as you wanna be critting anyways

You can max V. Shred stacks with VC and Anomaly so your damage will go further

AE also provides bonus attack speed, armor shred, and damage

It's not much different than Dr3ad's ES build he posted recently or Perry's Infinite Mana ES

[sinful laurel]

Then things will reset anyways, maybe don't worry about it?

[shell flame]

Yeh, all my stuff about to be obsolete ok

fair response, thanks @sinful laurel

[pastel pebble]

It's not goinf anywhere?

[sinful laurel]

That all makes sense from a vk noob

[pastel pebble]

I'm at 500c wirh it rn

[sinful laurel]

Yeah to be clear it's not going anywhere

But if you are planning on playing the cycle reset than it will be inconsequential

[pastel pebble]

I can still clear well and boss well, gotta be careful with my mana too

I am at 370 mana which is significantly less than what othsrs are doing lol

[sinful laurel]

Like all my 8 years of Poe shit gathering dust in my standard stash

[shell flame]

You're right, I'm overthinking it like crazy with the organization needs of mine.

[pastel pebble]

I'm here to spread word of VK glory

[sinful laurel]

Doing God's good work

[novel oak]

how do i get my sealed item out of the temporal sanctum

[sinful laurel]

press D

[novel oak]

oh gods

and i just left thinking it was ahead

thanks

im assuming there no way back t oget it and its just gone

[sinful laurel]

there is now actually

they added in a way to get back the item if you exited the dungeon

just run another one 🙂

[novel oak]

thank you

really wish that was explained, mind you it should have been obvious to me

[sinful laurel]

eh you aren't wrong, lots of new players miss it. although tbf the game asks you to use the exact same mechanic you ahve just been beat over the head to use for the entire dungeon 🙂

[novel oak]

i honestly have used the skill like twice though

its not really needed to navigate

well i failed to get thru the dungeon second time, went in on a higher tier by mistake XD

[blazing gorge]

Dumb question here but here I go: after I've defeated the Fall of the Outcasts' timeline boss, I am proposed 2 choices (dream of the future or the past): what does it changes ?

[novel oak]

i didn't notice any changes

besides it asks you to run it again and choose a different outcome

[sinful laurel]

More efficient path to empowered. Choose the higher level onr

[surreal verge]

Other than which monolith you unlock next, nothing.

[novel oak]

in the temporal dungeon is there more then one door down

or is the buff/debuff the door offered random

[blazing gorge]

Oh ok, thanks a lot !

[kind spade]

hello all! i still fail badly at Orobyss! i am like 10 lvls overlevel and still fail!

[surreal verge]

Defenses and not taking hits?

[toxic echo]

besides the normal defenses/hp/crit avoid, etc...

you dont have to wall yourself at that one orobyss. each node has different skills / elements. if that one is particularly bad for your build, try another node

[late niche]

hi i saw they pushed back the date so they dont collide with other studios releases what arpgs are dropping from december to feburary

[surreal verge]

Other than PoE league I don't think most of us know

[late niche]

oh i see thak u so very much

[sinful laurel]

Maybe GD xpac

[late niche]

i assumed gd xpac or tq2 but none of them have release dates

mybw insider infos

[sinful laurel]

We will find out

[shut pumice]

we can play multiplayer now right

[dense root]

yes

[shut pumice]

and we can trade with eachother ?

[dense root]

no

there is a limited gifting system that allows you to give items to other people who were in your party when they dropped

but it’s not a trade just a gift

[shut pumice]

ahh okay thank you

[dense root]

a more robust trade system is coming in 1.0 which will release feb 21

[mint spindle]

How does teh boss in soulfire keep spawn?

searchig for 20mins nothing, no mobs left, no soul embers left

wtf

[dense root]

that’s not how dungeons work

there are two doors on each floor and you go through one to get to the next floor

the boss is on the third floor

[mint spindle]

So i have to add more modifier?

the doors you mean are these with the modifiers?

[dense root]

they do come with modifiers yeah

[mint spindle]

oh ok thx

[dreamy pasture]

Willl there be clans?

[toxic echo]

no. they kinda want to add them maybe one day, but they need a purpose, and there isn't really a purpose for them.

[pale timber]

Anyone know base damage of T4 Julra screen slam?

[desert tree]

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

[pale timber]

Tyvm

[desert tree]

So thats base dmg

[pale timber]

ya so if it has a mod of 100% increased damage, does the damage scaling multiplay that?

[desert tree]

thats a 4k hit yep

[pale timber]

oh okay, that doesnt seem like much tho

like whats the 10k added damage scaling

[desert tree]

She has a lot of mod on t4 and added bonus it applies 4 Stacks of Doom

[desert tree]

If she had Flat spell dmg, 1 spell dmg would give her 10kdmg

That you multiply by inc dmg and more dmg

[sinful laurel]

fyi thats how added damage scaling works for our skills too

[pale timber]

Ya, weird that enemy NPC get that, maybe there are some auras or buff skills that give them flat idk

[sinful laurel]

could also just be for internal consistency too

easier to just make one framework for skills

[pale timber]

F1: The dungeon boss drops 2 Unique Items 180% increased Damage
180% increased Health

F2: Enemies drop substantially more exalted weapons 140% increased Damage
120% increased Health

F3: The dungeon boss drops 2 Unique Items 180% increased Damage
180% increased Health

2000*((180+140+180)/100) = 10K is the biggest hit the thing can do?

(standard assumptions, crit avoid, res etc)

o wait those are not 1.8 and 1.4 those are much bigger - 2000*(2.8 + 2.4 + 2.8) = 16k is her max hit with worst mods?

[boreal zenith]

The ticks from Consecrate Ground do not count as DoT, right?

[desert tree]

From Judgment ?

[boreal zenith]

yes

[desert tree]

It is a DoT yes

[boreal zenith]

But it ticks in an area, different from how a DoT is normally described. That's why I ask.

[desert tree]

Is there not a mod for being t4 ?

[desert tree]

I am not sure I follow you. DoT means Damage over Time.

I think you might be confusing with Ailments

[sinful laurel]

its not a stacking damage ailment, if thats what you mean

[desert tree]

Like Ignite

[boreal zenith]

I'm not confused. In many games DoT is exclusive to things that apply a debuff to an enemy that then ticks over time (like an ailment, yes). Because Consecrate Ground just hits whatever is inside of it every time it pulses, it could be different. That's why I am confirming.

[sinful laurel]

it is still damage over time in that it does not hit and just deals damage. over time

but its not ailment based

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

skill detail tooltips always help

the really nice thing about it is that its a DoT spell and so scales with spell damage. and also scales with healing effectiveness

[dreamy pasture]

Thanks

[boreal zenith]

Okay, I understand. Thanks to both of you.

[sick rampart]

has the devs made any statement if they'll be adding rotation camera to the game?

[cinder fossil]

considering that every single area in the game would have to be rebuilt from scratch to support that, i imagine the answer to that is "not happening"

[sterile widget]

Just let me rotate into foliage Frank!

I am a Druid and I want to be one with Nature

[sick rampart]

ahaha its okayy, was just curious

ty

[novel oak]

anyone heard anything about them fixing travel times between zones?

[frozen loom]

So I have two online characters. I want to play on my steam deck during a flight on a new character for offline only. Just select offline only and when I get Internet again it will cloud save and all week be okay?

[sick rampart]

yeah just saw a dev type in-game chat replying to someone complaining that they are currently looking into it

[novel oak]

sweet thanks, because that and the arena giving a pop up telling you to kill the champion, which you then can't attack thru which causes you to die are my main two gripes

[faint cape]

There are not, her damage effectiveness is just the standard ratio, i.e. base damage is equal to 20 added damage

[last sluice]

How does one make a build?

[faint cape]

Planning-wise? Usually on LE Tools https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/

[desert tree]

I usually throw a bunch of stuff on the wall and see what stick

[faint cape]

@rugged sinew fyi, the lich mastery description is just a localization "copy paste" bug - visual only.

[dense osprey]

I'm a little confused what does the "item factions" section refer to in the roadmap. Probably a stupid question sry lol

[buoyant sinew]

!trade

[ripe brook]

Our latest plans on Trade, and Factions can be found here: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/trade-development-update-introducing-merchants-guild-and-circle-of-fortune-factions/51994.

[buoyant sinew]

see that link

[last sluice]

I have really interesting items but not sure how to use em yknow

[dense osprey]

oh thanks

[sick rampart]

you can go to lastepochtools.com/builds/ and type an item you have in the search bar to filter builds using said item

[grave temple]

I want to know rule when i craft lengen item ,how item exalted craft affix move unique

[cinder fossil]

it chooses the affixes randomly, based on how much LP you have

so if you have 1 LP = one affix is randomly chosen to put onto the unique

[grave temple]

If unieque 2lp 🙂

[cinder fossil]

it will choose two random affixes

3lp would choose 3, and 4 would move all of the unsealed affixes into the unique

[grave temple]

Thanks , it’s difficult to get what i want :3

[grave temple]

If item no LP , it have weaver will

[cinder fossil]

oh

weavers will items randomly add affixes to the item while wearing it, if you hold ALT while reading the item it should give you a description of how weavers will works

[sick rampart]

yeah and weavers will cant be used to craft legendary, they're a category of their own

[surreal verge]

Online and offline are seperate

[pastel pebble]

When you use your load Last Epoch on your Steam Deck when you got wifi select Offline play ans begin your character. Sleeping it ans opening it will not force you to login again, your save will sync once you are on wifi again

[boreal zenith]

I see that some uniques have a low level version with higher effective level for LP. If I want one such unique with a better chance at more LP, is there a way to target the low level versions or is it just random which one you get when one drops?

Example item: https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/search?query=Decayed skull&in_description=1&exact_match=0

[native sail]

They're different items, so their drops have nothing to do with each other. Functions just like any other drop according to the reroll rates.

[surreal marsh]

I got back into game. How do you farm a grand blessing?

[native sail]

You repeatedly kill the monolith boss in empowered and pray

[haughty compass]

do skills gain damage as they level?

[native sail]

No

[viral parcel]

Hey

I'm planning on picking up this game

would you guys value it worth the price?

[native sail]

A level 20 unspecced skill is the same as a level 1 unspecced skill

[viral parcel]

Oh

i take that as a yes

If i may ask another question

is it easy to pick up for a diablo player

[cunning geyser]

is last epoch gonna update after release

is this a ride and die or a release and peace

[native sail]

Yeah, it isn't super complicated. It's the middle groud of complexity in ARPGs IMO

[viral parcel]

Cause i've played both Diablo 3 and PoE

diablo was too simple

[native sail]

It will have updates post release yes, they are planning a seasonal system (referred to as cycles)

[viral parcel]

PoE was too complex

[cunning geyser]

oh like diablo reset.......

[native sail]

You don't NEED to reset if you want new stuff, that will be for everyone. Resets only matter for leaderboards and economy.

[native sail]

Sounds like you'll fit in for the target then tbh

[opal night]

I just started playing @viral parcel and am lvl 82 finishing all the monoliths and have not looked a guide yet. It is pretty simple to see the path to a build.

[cunning geyser]

what the point of reset, when i think of reset it sounds bad for this type of game since it not a roguelite

[viral parcel]

It is also seems pretty cheap compared to other games

[native sail]

Same as every other ARPG. People like starting fresh each season for leaderboard egos and economy refreshes.

[viral parcel]

I appreciate the help

[opal night]

yeah I didnt mind paying the money since i paid (unfortunately) 90 for diablo 4

[cunning geyser]

bless you

[opal night]

enjoying the game way more than d4 and poe (poe was fun just too much to learn)

[viral parcel]

I don't blame you, I haven't played it but it looked like a masterpiece in the trailer

[native sail]

Careful, people here are very anti-D4

[viral parcel]

Oh is the community a bit toxic?

[native sail]

Hit or miss. There's good and bad, the global chat in game is terrible, the Discord varies heavily depending on topic.

[viral parcel]

I thought the global chat is good since devs interact in there.

[native sail]

They behave when staff are in. When they aren't it's a hub for vile insults and straight up misinformation.

[viral parcel]

Oh damn

I saw some cool stuff in this game

like the runemaster

or the druid guy

[native sail]

I personally don't like RM but that's because I dislike its "main" skill

It's great if you're into it

[viral parcel]

the rune combining?

[native sail]

Yeah. Runic Invocation is clunky to me and I wanted other ways to use it than we got.

[viral parcel]

Yeah that's fair

I havent played yet

but i can tell some people will like some classes

and others less

[opal night]

druid is fun, I like the variety of shape shifting. Can make some fun stuff with it for sure

I am going to go for a rouge bow build next i think

[native sail]

Druid is fun, and also really strong

[viral parcel]

yeah i saw some broken stuff

like casting spells on hits

[native sail]

Nah that ain't broken, that's normal

[viral parcel]

Really?

[native sail]

Yeah

[viral parcel]

bro that stuff seemed broken

[opal night]

yeah seems like most builds have a COC type mechanic

[viral parcel]

or atleast looked really fun

Cast on Cast?

[opal night]

cast on crit

[viral parcel]

oh

[native sail]

Nope. Completely normal. Every class has cast on X type stuff.

[opal night]

yeah

[viral parcel]

I know cast on cast is broken

[opal night]

I move and cast fire aura right now haha

[viral parcel]

no clue about Cast on crit

[native sail]

Cast on cast is fairly normal here too

Druid's broken stuff is its ability to generate tens of thousands of ward at the click of a button

And Swarmblade

[opal night]

yeah ward seems to come very easy for druid

[viral parcel]

Oh as the guy said before

Would the seasons have decent content added

or does no one know

[native sail]

We're not quite sure yet, they haven't been clear on the scope of that. All we know is the first one is coming with or shortly after 1.0 and they will be avoiding locking playable content behind a reset

(They may still lock some items behind the reset)

[cunning geyser]

as long as they dont make it harder or longer maybe ill do reset

[viral parcel]

Oh

by the way

if you dont mind me asking once again

What is potential

[scenic sparrow]

lets be honest, The Diablo 4 was released way too soon then it should.
so now they are cooking as they are still developing it 😄
people are pissed about it being released as "full game" with "live service" while for me it feels like Beta 0.3 , investors probably pushed them to make some money( 70€ is insane and 2months later, its 25% off on steam 😄 i feel so scammed lol )

[cunning geyser]

never preorder

[scenic sparrow]

i didnt preorder 🙂
its just the way it was released lol , the state of game is shit right now , it needs at least 1 to 2years more to cook properly
the earliest i will try again is S3 maybe S4
lol,when they add more stash tabs and loot filter 😄

[native sail]

I'm just gonna link you the guide because typing it takes too long lol

[viral parcel]

oh ok lol

ty

[native sail]

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

[native sail]

I'm a Destiny player, this feels normal to me and frankly I wasn't that bothered by the state of the game because I was fully expecting it to be something developed over time.

[viral parcel]

I used to be a destiny player

[native sail]

Thousands of hours in Crucible. Awaiting the slug fix so I can have fun in it again.

[viral parcel]

I just quit because i realised

i spent 60% of my time whining

[native sail]

I've always been rather positive in regards to Destiny honestly

[viral parcel]

I only started in 2022

well d2 that is

[native sail]

Ah. I started D2 in season 1

[viral parcel]

and was quite upset that i had to keep buying new content

[viral parcel]

i played taken king

also i played d2 when it became free

[native sail]

I paid for it, and every other major content that has come out because regardless of the general opinion I know I'm gonna enjoy my time in it and get my money's worth.

[viral parcel]

I uhh

played alot of dares

I've gotten several other halfs

[native sail]

I have one

[fierce plover]

<-Day 1 Destiny player here (and still playing).

[viral parcel]

red border?

[native sail]

Nope, pre-crafting

[viral parcel]

Oh damn

im pretty lucky

i've done 7 raids

and have 2 raid exotics

[native sail]

It's okay, I have the FOMO roll adept Igneous

[viral parcel]

Weekly reset is kinda stupid to me

[native sail]

I don't mind it, it genuinely helps me stay aware of time/calendar.

[viral parcel]

I know for like

mental health

but like

its so infuriating to want to do something

and then having to wait a week

why not a season cap

[opal night]

quick question: how long does it take to lvl to 100 in LE?

[native sail]

To me the weekly makes more sense because it helps people space things a bit, otherwise people would just chain it til the cap within days and then complain even though its their fault

[native sail]

Uh..... Good question, I honestly don't know the answer. I swap characters a lot so I can't give an accurate estimate since they recently increased the exp needed to get from level 95 to 100 as well.

[viral parcel]

is it like PoE where it takes 500 hours from 95 to 100

[native sail]

No, not at all

[near path]

No

Not that bad

[viral parcel]

ok awesome

i hate that

[native sail]

I have multiple 100s, I just don't know the time it took off the top of my head

[near path]

Still would take a few dozen hours for sure. You hit 90 relatively quick

90-95 is slight grind, 95-100 is noticeable

[carmine coyote]

I played rm for 2 days and got it to 96

Thats with xp nerfs

[opal night]

right now 83 and it feels like it takes 1-2 hours per lvl which seems ok

[native sail]

You're a bit of an outlier Kreshan

[opal night]

but not sure what to expect tbh

[viral parcel]

as long as its a goal

and not a challenge

[native sail]

It's reasonable to do

[opal night]

should one finish the monoliths then go back and start doing the second round of monoliths pushing corruption? not suire what to do after I finish all the monolith time zones

[native sail]

Yeah, move on to empowered as soon as you can

[opal night]

oh whats that?

[native sail]

Once you complete all three level 90 monoliths you return to the island connecting them and click the glowy thing. That unlocked empowered monoliths which are all level 100 and have no corruption cap. This will allow you to start actually farming stuff.

[opal night]

ohhhhh ok cool! do i have to complete all of the time lines or just the 3 90's (I have 1 down almost the seconed done of the 90's)?

[native sail]

Just the level 90s

[opal night]

dope that is nice

[native sail]

It also unlocks the waypoints to every mono so you don't have to do the quests to get to them :P

[opal night]

i definitely feel like my gear gains are very lame at this point. so glad to know that once I finish this part it gets better

[native sail]

Yeah you'll get better drops overall in empowered

[dark rune]

anyone knows why I cant unlock empowered monoliths? I have completed the 3 level 90 areas and cant click on the chest

[fierce plover]

Have you also completed Reign of Dragons?

[dark rune]

yes

i have 10/10 monoliths completed

i can stream my game if you have a few minutes

to tell me what im doing wrong

[native sail]

This has happened a few times, try redoing a mono in one of the 90 ones

Just do one echo and go back and see

[dark rune]

ill check ty

worked

[rugged sinew]

Then why does the leech not work?

@surreal verge

[versed pecan]

Hello everyone i am new to the game only been playing 23 days now and enjoying it. i just have a quick question as i am leveling minion build is there gear targetd for life so i can stay alive since i feel as i am getting one shooted

[rugged sinew]

Get life suffixes on your gear

Flat/hybrid/%life

Everywhere

[versed pecan]

ok tyvm

[surreal verge]

It's 1%. Do you have hollow lich?

[rugged sinew]

No

I wanted to see if it still worked

But I ain't getting more than my abysmal health regen

[surreal verge]

How did you test it

[rugged sinew]

Unallocated all leech nodes and go kill a boss, since those are easiest to leech on

And health didn't go up

[surreal verge]

With reaper form?

[rugged sinew]

No

[surreal verge]

That's like the easiest way to test leech tbh

[rugged sinew]

Also ward build

[surreal verge]

Since reaper form locks hp regen to 0

Reaper form doesn't hurt ward builds afaik

What is your skill setup

[rugged sinew]

Zombie + Sacrifice

For damage

I have enough health Degen without reaper form tho

I thought having more might outdegen the leech

[surreal verge]

Zombie shouldn't give you leech afaik but sacrifice should.

[rugged sinew]

Yeah

[surreal verge]

Okay hmm

[rugged sinew]

So I'm thinking it's bugged

And doesn't give the leech

[surreal verge]

Wait degen? Exsan?

[rugged sinew]

The int nodes

And damage nodes

[surreal verge]

Oh

The health drain

[rugged sinew]

In lich tree

[surreal verge]

[rugged sinew]

But I should have enough damage

[surreal verge]

Do you have access to arena? I think I can give you a test.

[rugged sinew]

Yeah

I'm rank 8 on the ladder

[surreal verge]

No I mean I wana get you to use the dummies.

Get your health to 'stable' then cast something like harvest to test.

[rugged sinew]

actually

it does work on the dummies

maybe i just didn't do enough damage to julra then

against the group of dummies my health went up

[surreal verge]

Well at least we know it works

And I'm not a liar-

[rugged sinew]

sorry then

[surreal verge]

It's fine 1% isn't that easy to notice-

[cedar moon]

my lvl 19 rogue cant spend my passive points in the Marksman tree, any reason for this? Looks like this:

[surreal verge]

You need 20 points in the rogue base tree.

[cedar moon]

aaah ok that explains it. ty!

[scenic sparrow]

rogue needs help ! i am way overcapped with elemental resistances
but i am getting oneshot at 100echoes ( 84 lvl rogue)
should i focus on more dodge or more HP ?
whats the ideal armor/dodge/defense stuff ???
i have by no means any problem with dmg, so i can remove some dmg for defences

should i get more endurance ?
i pretty much got oneshotted at this

[opaque shell]

I am sure this has been asked before but it doesn't show up in search, "Will characters carry over to live?" That would be nice but I figure it probably won't but would like a definitive answer

[minor fossil]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/volLy4Go someone can help me make my build better have low dmg

[knotty tinsel]

This is a question that is asked often, and every single time the answer is, "Your HP is way lower than it should be, work on that"

Not that I've seen yours but try to get to 2.5k min

[scenic sparrow]

omg thats literaly double of what i currently have lol

[knotty tinsel]

yupp

[scenic sparrow]

thank you very much

[knotty tinsel]

good luck!

[scenic sparrow]

i love you ! thank you ! 😄

[desert tree]

You don't need that much res

70% is fine

[scenic sparrow]

if i can cap 75, i will cap 75 🙂
but i will definitely aim for more HP

[desert tree]

Online character created in 0.9.X will be in Legacy (standard for PoE or Eternal for D4)

Still available but non able to interact with seasonal character

[desert tree]

Sure you want capped res but right now its working against you
You are using all your suffixes for res, lowering your ehp

[scenic sparrow]

btw, i just tried T2 julra, where should i stand, when she uses the slam?
got one shoted by it , and i dont know anymore if i should stand, in it, or somewhere outside ( or if there is specific place where to stand) i got oneshoted

[opaque shell]

thanks

[desert tree]

The big one that cover the whole map?

[scenic sparrow]

yeah exactly

[desert tree]

In a different timezone

[scenic sparrow]

oooh

i didnt thought of that, damn thats smart

i was like "what happens if i try to swap timezone" .. nevermind..
and then go to beat her and i was like dafuq is this oneshot mechanic,should i abuse I-frames ?:D

[desert tree]

I am not sure iframe work with that skill. And the hit apply 4 stacks of doom that will kill you over time

[scenic sparrow]

also whats the different 4keys for ? is it aswell to use the legendary potential of items ?
just different farming of items ? ie. Julra has weapons, other bullshit has other items ?

[desert tree]

Nope

Lightless harbor is a gold sink to get massive loot chests, tons of exalted, runes and glyphs

[knotty tinsel]

biased advice from me, just vendor the Arena keys

arena is nice and all but you don't need to do it if you're not interested

[desert tree]

Soulfire bastion has a gambler with a specific currency. You can acquire really powerful exalted with t3-4-5 sealed affix

And you can target gamble what you need

[scenic sparrow]

i will definitely try them all, thank you

[surreal verge]

They'll get carried over as "legacy/standard"

[desert tree]

It's pretty good but there are a few issues.
You waste 10 passives points in your base class for Inc dmg with mace and scepter but you have a wand.
Hammer skill tree, you have avatar of the spire (hammer nova) and spiral. Point wasted here too. You could max zeal for some Inc dmg and crit chance.
I would use Volatile Reversal instead of Javelin. There is a lot of more dmg and AS there.
And most importantly, you want to farm a Devotion amulet. This will skyrocket your dmg. You can target farm it in age of winter timeline. Empowered will make it way easier.

[acoustic thicket]

hey, how do Elemental tagged skills interact with specific ele damage increases? like tri-elemental runebolt and %inc fire, cold, lightning damage separately

[knotty tinsel]

it doesn't triple dip

elemental damage just means, this damage affects everything that is fire, lightning and/or cold

[acoustic thicket]

talking about the other way around

elemental tag skills with specific increases, not specific ele skills with elemental increase

put simply does Increased Cold/Fire/Lightning Damage apply at 100% effectiveness to skills with only "Elemental" tag

[native sail]

Yes but only to the portion of it that matches

[knotty tinsel]

I... wait

has elemental tag always been a thing?

I've never seen this before

[acoustic thicket]

it's in a few things

prismatic gaze for example

and i have no idea what portion of damage is each element in that skill so rip

thanks though

[lunar holly]

it's 5 each

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

[sand harness]

any one that have the same bug when the attacks stops working and u need to leave the instance and come back to make it work again.

[acoustic thicket]

sweet thanks, didn't know you could see that on letools

[frigid spoke]

Any good rogue guides available? I tried lastepochtools but they all seem so discouraging 😢 especially towards lategame

[knotty tinsel]

paste this message in #💬┃general and you'll probably get a few rogue experts to help you 😛

[frigid spoke]

Thanks

[icy drift]

you said you were looking at some in LE tools but that they were discouraging, could you tell me more about the builds and why they they didn't seem good?

[junior stirrup]

Khm, anyone faced this kind of problem?

[icy drift]

what's the problem?

[junior stirrup]

Npc's like underground. Camera is too close. This is maximum distance

[icy drift]

hmm, try to quit out and verify your game files

and then log back in and see if it's still bugged

usually that fixes issues like this

[junior stirrup]

Yep it's fixed

[finite pagoda]

What's a good strat for starting out in empowered Echoes?
Should I increase Corruption as quickly as possible or try and get as much Stability from each Echo?

[old jolt]

Is the eber liver drop from the Tundra a random drop?

i've killed a bunch of ever

eber*

[finite pagoda]

You have to go to the area shown by the Questmarker.

It's kinda weird and counterintutive.

[lunar holly]

yeah, it's a drop from a specific eber south of the waypoint

[old jolt]

Ye, the quest was bugged so i didnt see the questmarker

got it now

had to reload

the area

[dense tinsel]

Is there a good general filter for end-game? I don't want to miss anything cool/good

But I'd also like to sort out garbage items, haha.

[sinful laurel]

honestly, the best one is the one you make yourself

[desert tree]

One man's trash is another man's treasure

[sinful laurel]

Not yet

Well not unique

Experimental items can drop exalted yes

Exalted just means an item with t6 or t7 affixes

Can be the experimental affix or not

[desert tree]

Don't sell, it's not very efficient. Vendor gives you so little gold.

Just leave it in the ground

[sinful laurel]

Can you use it or craft on it?

[distant pumice]

Hello me and my friend are in party but we are connecting to different instances everytime, any idea on how to fix it?

[faint cape]

Try using their nameplate to portal directly to them

[scenic sparrow]

is there a way to Recycle unique items ????
i got already like 20 of the same Armor and i dont want to pick it up anymore 🙂
(sure i can turn on Loot filter) , but what if there is way to utilize gold + gambling thing where you could use 2-3-4-5 same uniques and reroll the stats /chance to get potential( if the item can have it) ?

[surreal marsh]

One enter, the other teleports to friend

[surreal verge]

Discussed the latter, but that would make some uniques piss easy to get LP4 for

[native sail]

^ there is intentionally no way to "craft" LP

[dense root]

ok but what if we added it just long enough for me to abuse the system then turned it back off

i think we should consider that

[surreal verge]

[native sail]

Piss off, Sam.

[odd bolt]

guys, any opinion about normal cosmetics? not talking about supportet packs

[sinful laurel]

Wdym opinion? We need more?

That's mine lol

[odd bolt]

I mean if you think is it worth it now or just wait for better ones

[sinful laurel]

If you like them a lot and it's worth for you, then go for it. I don't personally think anything so far is worth my points

But cosmetics are pure personal flavor

[odd bolt]

true

[desert tree]

I don't see myself buying armor skin or pets. But skill skin...

[viral parcel]

Wait are there cosmetics

[native sail]

Yeah. Gotta get consistent funding somehow.

[desert tree]

Yes

[viral parcel]

wouldn't that be through sales

just how expensive are the cosmetics

[native sail]

Sales drop off over time.

[viral parcel]

oh thats

quite a price tag

[native sail]

Sales also don't keep servers on for extended periods after the initial "wave"

[viral parcel]

what do epoch points do

[native sail]

MTX will always be cosmetic only, no pay for power or convenience.

Epoch points are just currency for the cosmetic shop, nothing else, ever

[viral parcel]

im not worried about p2w

more just

expensive mtx

i get i dont have to buy it

[native sail]

If it helps at all they have expressed that they'd like to get transmog into the game at some point as well and have explicitly stated that they will stride to make in game gear look good at baseline so others don't feel pressured to get cosmetics.

[dusky kite]

true mmo gameplay right there

[dusky kite]

I agree, the price tags are fairly high especially by the standards of non-first world countries, but they were already reduced once (used to be even more ridiculous). Maybe they will add point bundles to steam in the future where they will be subject to regional pricing. Or something.

Although I heard that POE has even more ridiculously expensive cosmetics and if that's the main competitor then I wouldn't hold your breath if I were you

[native sail]

PoE gets.... excessive. I wish I was joking when I said there are skill effects that cost $20 or more USD

[desert tree]

@icy drift I don't want to answer in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs to keep it clean.
You should have a kind of ball orbiting around you iirc

[icy drift]

oh yeah you're right lol, that's not gonna be easy to see when i'm testing it for uptime in echoes

[desert tree]

^^

[pale timber]

Are lost caches ie (thieves/wizard chest) affected by anything like IIR or blessings?

[icy drift]

blessings should affect them afaik, since they apparantly affect shrines (idol blessings affect idol shrine apparently)

[viral parcel]

yeah and its mandatory so as long as this game doesn't become like that

im happy

[faint cape]

I don't think so. Corruption does get you more caches and better tier caches, though. #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[kind spade]

hey all! what s the class that does the spinning sword attack?

[sinful laurel]

Sentinel? Warpath?

[surreal verge]

is it red or purple

[kind spade]

the skill slot looks red

i saw it on youtube

[surreal verge]

Then it's warpath. Sentinel.

[kind spade]

also, the body of the character spins completely

[surreal verge]

Yup that's Warpath.

[kind spade]

is it decent for all other masteries?

[surreal verge]

Hm? It's a sentinel only skill. (UNless you mean paladin, void knight, forge guard)

It is a base sentinel skill that all 3 masteries can use.

[stark kindle]

Can I heal myself via leech from damage inflicted upon myself? So for example, if I have Rotmind with "1% of poison damage leeched as life" and I use aura of decay which stacks poisons on myself. Does the leech proc on that selfpoison?

[surreal verge]

I wish. (No)

[stark kindle]

Damn, thanks for the quick answer mate!

[surreal verge]

That's because I did exactly that, so I know the answer-

AoD weak pls buff

[dusky kite]

Healing for 1% of self-inflicted damage doesn't sound particularly powerful at any rate

[stark kindle]

I love that skill, and I hoped that rotmind would work. Got me excited.

Name checks out btw

[sinful laurel]

Poor aod

Poor kzb

[surreal verge]

Rotmid does help by letting you leech off AoD's poison on enemies at least.

It's just not as good as you hope, but it still does it's job

[stark kindle]

True, just hoped there would be a cool interaction to somehow exploit^^

[surreal verge]

Oh you wana find out?

AoD snapshots.

If you enable it, then unspec it, it will be as if it was still specced until you die, or you disable and reenable it

[rapid isle]

Does decimate proc off of indirectly casted spells too?

[surreal verge]

How useful is AoD snapshotting? Not at all, but it's horriffic and hilarious.

[stark kindle]

Hmm but that is indeed interesting

[sinful laurel]

When you use a lightning spell generally means direct use

But worth a test

[barren urchin]

What does GLobal increased spell damage mean ?, it affacts my minions aswell ?

[surreal verge]

It means it buffs any spell you have. Just yours.

[faint cape]

No, global means it doesn't apply to just that skill (you rarely see this term outside of skill specializations)

It still won't affect your minions, just to be clear

[dapper estuary]

does anyone else have the problem of health bars not showing over enemies eventhough the box in the settings is ticked? if so is there a fix?

[toxic echo]

Yeah. Some are just bugged. Most skeletons, some osprix, some bosses.

[odd spruce]

Need some advice. Best place to farm exalted rings?

[dapper estuary]

its not just some enemies for me, its every one. restarting the game does not help

[kind spade]

how do i build up damage for bladedancer? i know there is a mechanic

[dapper estuary]

@odd spruce its between farming any mono or doing soulfire bastion and gambling for rings at the end

[odd spruce]

Tyty

[sinful laurel]

Not sure what you mean build up damage. You get damage the same general way any class gets damage

[dapper estuary]

@kind spade there is a shadow mechanic for bladedancer if you mean that, but if you dont know how to build your char in general i would look up a guide form maxroll or lastepochtools and see how they do it. you can then adapt/make your own after you understood more

[kind spade]

nono there is a mechanic

i forgot

momentum something

and it stacks up

i remember i played like 1 year ago

[sinful laurel]

I mean there is agility in rogue tree. But you're gonna have to give more than that. There Are a lot of stackable damage buffs in rogue

[kind spade]

i wanna try a melee build without shadows

im sure there is one somwhere there

just need to experiment

[sinful laurel]

Good luck 🙂

[kind spade]

also im gonna start my first multiplayer character

i started playing when there was no multiplayer

how much play time u got guys?

those who bought the game on steam

i got 53 hours

[sinful laurel]

Enough

[kind spade]

yey finally

created my first online character

i noticed online play takes more time to load maps

compared to offline

like 5 seconds longer

[sinful laurel]

If you're only 5 seconds longer you're doing great. It's a known problem right now

[tawdry cosmos]

is there something going on with the servers? lots of losing connection on the us east one

[quiet terrace]

hey guys! I have a lvl 70 runemaster (or maybe 71). I was following the maxroll leveling guide. it seems like I hit a brick wall in trying to kill Lagon. any ideas what I am supposed to do? run the previous monoliths to get higher level, better gear and switch to an endgame runemaster build? try to kill Lagon until I finally do it?

[icy drift]

Honestly just seems like a lot of people get stuck on him, I would legit just suggest asking for help in general chat

[safe harness]

what are you dying to?

[last kettle]

Lagoon is such a bitch

[quiet terrace]

3rd phase

I can avoid his beam but the water thingies also come out and I can't keep up

[safe harness]

do you have 75% lightning and cold resist? (or close to that?)

[naive cave]

Can someone please help me understand this. I am looking to target farm a unique ring however the unique ring symbol just says "Unique Item" is ther a different one i should be looking for?

[icy drift]

Yeah there's a different one

[quiet terrace]

I have max all resistances.. I think cold may be 74% instead of max

[icy drift]

That won't make much of a difference you're good on resistances

[naive cave]

I have only seen this one and a purple i believe not sure what I am looking for exactly

[safe harness]

the only thing different with the 3rd phase is the waves and he takes less damage

[quiet terrace]

yeah the waves are what kill me

[icy drift]

It'll look like this in the age of winter timeline

You see how it's half orange and half green

[quiet terrace]

do you think it's worth going back to the earlier monoliths so I can get better gear and transition to an endgame build first? it's not like it would annoy me.. or am I supposed to switch to an endgame build once I reach empowered?

[trail sparrow]

Anyone having an issue connecting to locations or travelling?

[naive cave]

Ah yeah maybe I'm just unlucky I haven't come across one yet, thankyou

[trail sparrow]

I'm almost certain my connection to the servers is pretty decent

[icy drift]

Np, they can be quite rare

[trail sparrow]

But can't figure out what could be causing my issues when travelling

[quiet terrace]

travelling to new locations is a known bug. Unless you are dc'ing.. but it takes 5-10 seconds to connect to a new region

[trail sparrow]

Is there a way to mitigate it? Like playing on certain regions? Or just gotta be lucky?

[quiet terrace]

no all regions have an issue with connection. it's not your fault it's server-side fault.

[desert tree]

They are more common the further you go and the more corruption you have

[reef summit]

What is strongest build to push corruption now? I'm playing vk warpath struggling at 700+ but i see frost claw is great for pushing 1k+

[sinful laurel]

Low life bladedancer probably

[toxic anvil]

how do I get gambler's fallacy?

[safe harness]

from the quest ezra's ledger near start of game

there's a better one you can get from soulfire bastion dungeon

[toxic anvil]

oh?

[faint cape]

soul gambler's fallacy

Farmable and can have LP, unlike the regular quest reward one

[toxic anvil]

ohh

what lvl do u need to be for it?

and what does it define as recently?

[faint cape]

Recently is 4 seconds

[toxic anvil]

got it

spells can crit right?

[faint cape]

Yes, anything that hits can crit (unless it has some effect that prevents it from critting)

[toxic anvil]

gottt it

so I can use gambler's fallacy with a rebuke build?

[faint cape]

Yeah, if you only hit once every 4 seconds it's a good amulet - granted, most builds want to hit more often than that

[toxic anvil]

hahha nooot my rebuke build 🤣

did they change what stats give like vitality and strength?

also do generic damage skills like warpath scale with weapon damage?

[boreal zenith]

all skills scale with whatever their tags imply.

melee = melee

bow = bow

spell = spell

minion = minion

I know that looks really dumb the way I wrote it but it's that simple.

press alt while mousing over a skill to see details

[toxic anvil]

👍

[toxic anvil]

what are idols primarily used for?

[pastel pebble]

Resists, damage, health, etc

Some give certain qualities to skills like Sentinel's % to cast smite on throwing attack hit

[toxic anvil]

so patching holes?

[pastel pebble]

Sometimes

It depends on your build. For most builds it helps patch holes or give great boosts

[toxic anvil]

👍

[sick rampart]

does corruption item rarity increases lp drop rate?

[safe harness]

Not directly

It will give you more uniques

[serene urchin]

guys, im struggling with mapping in Monolilth, im using Shock Claw builds on RM

[grand harbor]

is there a way to move with my right click, i played a lot of leauge and its just super comfortable tha tway haha

[grim ore]

hi ... i need help killing gaspar

[sick rampart]

can the reduced bonus damage taken from crit strikes be any better than investing in crit strike avoidance?

[icy drift]

Do you still need help?

[grim ore]

yup

[icy drift]

Aight give me a min I'll get on

[grim ore]

thanks

[icy drift]

In game name?

[grim ore]

HitMyAss

wrong

HitThemAll

[surreal verge]

It's one or the other. Both at cap do basically the same thing.

BUt one is more consistent before 100%.

[scenic sparrow]

i wanna farm Storm Weaver , i have rune of ascendancy, which item should i use it on ?
any random Dagger, or do i have to use it on Specific dagger base ?

[desert barn]

any

[desert tree]

Does anyone know if this node in Surge applies for the Lightning Blast procced by Surge ? Or the Spark Charge ? Or the Fire Aura ?

[native sail]

Unsure on the last two but it wouldn't apply to LB since LB uses its own tree and procced skills don't inherit any modifiers

[desert tree]

Thats so weird, you need to path through 2 nodes for LB to get to this one

And Surge does not have any spell part by itself

I will ask Mike

[native sail]

Reasonable. You'll be waiting a while :P

[desert tree]

Its fine

[kind spade]

hey all! whats the best rogue build?

and is melee stronger than bow?

[scenic sparrow]

i am using umbral blades for Shadow Dagger stacking , super easy to scale ( literaly everything thats not spell or elemental damage or atk speed counts towards it)

but is it the best ? i dont know

there are probably more solid "faster" options - i am not minmaxed tho

[native sail]

I'm like 90% sure it is, genuinely, the best in the long run

[knotty tinsel]

It's one of the best and it used to be one of the best-er-est

you could stack all of the blades on top of each other XD

[scenic sparrow]

exactly, you can burst with umbral blades with single synchronized strike, that even that one stacks those, while using shift, that casts shadowcascade stacking even more shadow daggers...
all the spells i had 400, the shadow dagger was 10k , when now i have 2-4k spells, the shadow dagger is at 48k 😄

[kind spade]

hey all! can someone explain me what is a unique skill?

and how do i stack rhytm for bladedancer and use the stacks on a unique skill

[desert tree]

It means different

Like 3 use of flurry is still 1 skill

To get stacks you need to use different skills

[scenic sparrow]

what am i missing for monoliths ???
i guess its beating the actual empowered versions ???

[desert tree]

And if you do
Flurry > Puncture > Flurry that's still only 2 uniques skills

[scenic sparrow]

Umbral blades throw, and umbral blades recall counts as 2skills tho 😄

maybe cinder strike has it different aswell ? 🙂

[desert tree]

I have not played enough rogue to be able to answer that

[surreal verge]

Cinder strike counts as 3 assuming you use all 3 hits.

[knotty tinsel]

The game calls them combo skills and they do function in that manner yes.

worth noting that if you allocate this on umbral blades, then it becomes a 4-combo skill just by holding down the button, which is relevant for Flow

[kind spade]

ohhh so i just need to alternate skills

finally i got it now

so i need to stack 5 stacks then unleash them with the highest damage skill

[knotty tinsel]

aye

it's the fourth skill by default though. you can change it to 5 via the passive tree

[kind spade]

i see

[dusky kite]

Kinda? With the new armor and less damage taken from crit affix you can also cover your crit mitigation with 2 slots but you'll get what, 350? or so armor in process. There are some uniques that can cover crit mitigation with only one slot too. It really depends on the build, and for instance druids/primalists with spriggan only need one affix to cover the rest of crit avoidance that they don't get for free.

[knotty tinsel]

it also avoids that feels-bad conundrum of getting 95-99% crit avoid. reducing crits by that amount feels a lot better in comparison.

The main drawback in my eyes is that you can't put it on rings.

[dusky kite]

yea 99% crit avoidance is still 1% chance to get oneshot

[sick rampart]

hmm yeah i can its benefits now, specially since there are items that need you to get critted to proc something or that prevents you from avoid crits

[dusky kite]

no to first, kinda? to the second as I think there was some unique that messed with crits

it's also terrible so I can't even remember it offhand

[knotty tinsel]

fiery dragon shoes had the stat before, making you want to get crit.

with the introduction of the suffix now you can reduce the crit damage to 0 extra instead of 15% extra as it was before, which is pretty nice.

it was also on 2handed weapons but, eh.

[distant compass]

actually in game guide it says that blessing affects unique drops too

[dusky kite]

must be outdated info as they said in the ask the devs channel that it doesn't, and I'm pretty certain that they did so more than once

[distant compass]

alright, good to know)

[kind spade]

yo guys! empowered monoliths are alwyas lvl 100? cant find lower ones?

[pastel pebble]

Ye

[kind spade]

and special uniques drop there rite

[knotty tinsel]

ye

[icy snow]

hello good people anybody who understands minions can help me on my build idea ?

[kind spade]

what u play? forgeguard or acolyte?

[surreal verge]

I can help if it's acolyte

[icy snow]

no it is druid

[icy snow]

but thank you anyways

[surreal verge]

Might want to ask in #🐺┃primalist

[keen ore]

can anybody help

i can join the online game but no enemy will spawn

[kind spade]

hmmm weird

make sure u play on the continent u live

and your internet need at least 1 mbs

[keen ore]

i tried every server even with vpn but it won't work

[kind spade]

weird

contact the support

[keen ore]

how?

[kind spade]

last epoch site

[keen ore]

tnx

[faint cape]

It applies to the fire auras and the cold wave spell only

[faint cape]

Yes, blessings (including item type ones) definitely affect uniques. Just not boss drops.

[knotty tinsel]

testing on a dummy shows no sign of it applying to fire aura.

[icy drift]

this doesn't work if the swords are converted to smite right?

[faint cape]

Huh. In the past devs have said skill mods should apply, and it felt like they did when I was messing with a FA build. I'll check it again.

[faint cape]

Right

[icy drift]

Mike did mention in ask the devs that he was unsure, they might've changed it or something

and ty

was pretty sure it wouldn't but i'm a sentinel noob

[nova copper]

Anyone know the drop rate for set gear atm ?

[surreal verge]

As rare as a unique.

[kind spade]

cyborg what class is that

[icy drift]

are multistrike additional swords unable to target the original enemy? i know it says "nearby enemy" but like the original target is also a nearby enemy no? xd

[sinful laurel]

They can't hit the enemy you clicked on to start the attack

[icy drift]

😦

[sinful laurel]

Yup

[icy drift]

i know it wouldve been strong af but cmon xd

[sinful laurel]

Part of why pure multistrike sucks at ST

[faint cape]

It's a respectable clear skill, though, and the swords can shotgun if you are able to overlap them, it's just hard to do that

[icy drift]

yeah no the clear is really neat, but oof XD

[sinful laurel]

I just use it to make ai swords. They do the single target for me 🙂

[snow mantle]

Anyone got any builds for a 1-handed fool? Broke my hand 2 weeks ago and got it patched up. Used to play Wizard, but its a bit too hard for me right now.

[icy drift]

prob a sentinel warpath build?

[undone otter]

any build if you get a snazzy MMO button mouse

lol

@snow mantle I remember back when I had carpal tunnel surgery on my dominant hand

[snow mantle]

I sadly do not have a mmo button mouse :x

[undone otter]

took weeks before I could use it again

it was such a nightmare >.<

I bet you could do a lazy/zoo necro build

where you just move around and let minions do their job

[snow mantle]

that's true

[knotty tinsel]

you can slap on cycle of putrescence x2 and do just that

it's so balanced right now

[undone otter]

/slaps rings
You could fit so many zombies in these things

[undone otter]

[knotty tinsel]

hey I very much assumed you know about this by now

experimental zombies affix is making waves

[snow mantle]

I'm not really keeping up with the communnity. I rather just play home brewed stuff, so I don't know the most OP stuff

[knotty tinsel]

oh rest assured this is very much that

[desert tree]

Cold wave?

[faint cape]

So, after testing, I concur with Torgor that fire aura is not affected by any skill modifiers (except the one special one in flame ward)

[desert tree]

Even converted to lightning?

[faint cape]

So really, it's just that silly cold wave that gets the 'more spell lightning damage' modifier 😅

[desert tree]

Converted in passive and/or by flame ward?

Have you tried spark charge?

[faint cape]

Yeah, tested ride the lightning specifically, as well as the other generic multis in surge's tree, even Vaion's doesn't apply

I didn't test spark charge, but I can do that while I'm here

[scenic sparrow]

i want ZOOM ZOOM build, which class should i focus on ? rogue shadow dagger stacker doesnt look that "zoom zoom" but its hella fast , but not "smooth enough"
is there something faster/smoother ? 😄

[faint cape]

In the same vein, low life bladedancer is similar to SD, just way smoother

[sinful laurel]

Idk why people keep saying SD isn't smooth. Literally all you do is shift and zoom and stuff dies, with the occasional SS on bosses. An I missing something?

[scenic sparrow]

its smooth, but at the same time it feels "Lagy"

there is always delay between the attacks , thats why its not "smooth" but its one hella of character

[sinful laurel]

What delay?

[native sail]

SD is typically done as UB which feels less smooth than say SC which just kinda hits and goes

[sinful laurel]

I just don't see how it feels less smooth. But I digress

If you really need and want to do direct damage. SS and throw a UB

Same as you would for SC

[scenic sparrow]

i do SS+shift or SS+UB(when i have 2sec CD on shift )
but its just not smooth enough, the blades are all over the place( mostly behind lol)
yeah and it takes time to proc ( though SS procs SD instantly)

more then smooth, lets say: build thats Fast and Screen clear from single button press using occasional buffs and stuff ????

[native sail]

SD from UB takes a few hits before it actually procs, in comparison to SC that hits as soon as you click, it's not a HUGE difference but it isn't unnoticeable if you compare them. The reason UB is used more than SC is that UB is straight up more damage

[sinful laurel]

Hmmm I guess I can see the delay in stacking daggers. Maybe it just doesn't bother me idk

[native sail]

And that's completely valid. Doesn't bother me either but I can see the complaint.

[sinful laurel]

LE isn't really a single button press type game on purpose

[scenic sparrow]

its not that bothersome, i just wanna know if there is build thats more ZOOM ZOOM than SD rogue 😄

[sinful laurel]

There are builds that are faster yes

[faint cape]

Okay, tested just for sanity's sake, spark charge is not affected

[sinful laurel]

But I think you mean something else when you say zoom zoom

[scenic sparrow]

SD from UB is Zoom zoom but feels like playing with 100-200 ping 😄

thats why i am searching something thats more "zoom zoom" without the delay bullshit(but hella powerfull bullshit lol 😄 if i ever exp rogue again, its always UB+SD lol )

[faint cape]

Yeah, SS+SC on low life BD clears pretty much the whole screen

still not a single button thing though

[sinful laurel]

There are some nasty screen clearing capabilities in runemaster right now. But idk if that's zoom zoom enough for you

And def not single button

[faint cape]

If you're fine not pushing corruption until they fix the conversion, cold locust swarm can zoom low corruption

[marsh maple]

see what you do, is you bypass the cold conversion

[sinful laurel]

If you can get your cooldown low enough, crit lich can still basically be a one button zoom

[marsh maple]

and play something that forces you to cold

Kappa

[faint cape]

Yeah, that's the only play really, since the cold conversion doesn't affect most of the skill's "base" damage

[sinful laurel]

Sisyphean effort. Truly

[faint cape]

I will never let it go lol

[paper fable]

what is the easier class to clear monolith with without being dependant on gear, with good survivability

[sinful laurel]

All classes can clear regular monoliths with minimal gear investment

[paper fable]

not really, i play with beast master, lvl 62 with 800 hp and i die insta

[sinful laurel]

Well you have 800 hp. BM is a very good mastery

[faint cape]

Well, that's your 800 health's fault, not BM

[native sail]

How the fuck did you get 800 health

[marsh maple]

I just played a beastmaster and did just fine

[sinful laurel]

That may literally be the minimum possible at that level

[native sail]

I'm actually amazed

[pastel pebble]

Just stack some Health %

[paper fable]

i just dont have hp on gear, focused on minion dmg/ health

[native sail]

....

[sinful laurel]

LE is a game of defensive layera

Damage comes easy

[faint cape]

CookBook has a poison nova scorpion build that you should be able to easily transition to

just please get more health

[native sail]

^

[paper fable]

cookbook?

You have the life of an average toon like 25 levels lower than you

[faint cape]

woah that bot is still wild lol

[sinful laurel]

I love it

[faint cape]

scares me every time

[native sail]

Eterra's Blessing

I think that's legit the only poison build I've seen in a long time that's actually doing things

[paper fable]

also maybe i die alot cause all my resistences are like 35%, poisen 2%

[sinful laurel]

Yes...omg

Focus on your defense layers

[faint cape]

That doesn't help, you're right - but even at max resists, 800hp is not enough

[paper fable]

so, go full defense?

[sinful laurel]

No

Just get yourself some ways to mitigate damage.

Look at the build posted above for some direction

[paper fable]

how much hp do i need? mitigate? like armor or dodge?

[faint cape]

And then of course there's this

[sinful laurel]

Honestly at your level, probably double what you have now. Armor is good. Resistances good. Dodge good

[native sail]

For endgame you want close to 3k health at minimum. And mitigation = dodge, armor, res, crit avoid/reduction, endurance, and so on.

[sinful laurel]

All defensive layers

You can get damage from passive tree and skill trees no problem

And some defense from passive too ofc

[native sail]

Beastmaster tax

[sinful laurel]

Boar stance thing right?

[paper fable]

all this will fill up my armor affix slots

[native sail]

No it won't

[sinful laurel]

Defensive are only suffix generally

[faint cape]

and if you do go after than scorp build, keep in mind that minion health is pretty much dead stats

[sinful laurel]

Prefixes are damage oriented

[native sail]

Because you get a lot of that from implicits and idols and passives and so on

You want health literally anywhere possible

[faint cape]

Yeah, it's what the two suffixes on your armor is for, you can't really put anything else in there

[sinful laurel]

Sparky have you been crafting at all?

[native sail]

There's also the blessings to further help mitigate gear pressure

[paper fable]

i have, to stack minion hp and dmg, and to add physical dmg and lightning dmg for swipe

currently swipe doing 7k

[sinful laurel]

Not if you're dead

[paper fable]

hehe yeah

[sinful laurel]

Work on bolstering up your defenses

And you are a BM. Let your beasts do the work.

That's like...the point
