[paper fable]

i had like 500% minion health, so they wont die

[pastel pebble]

You forgot to keep yourself alive tho

[paper fable]

do i need healing effectiveness?

[scenic sparrow]

cant you use "A" to make the minions attack first ? make them walk in front of you and you keep hiding ? 😄

[sinful laurel]

that only applies to skills that actually heal

idk if BM has any of those

[sinful laurel]

yes

[faint cape]

You shouldn't need that much, and depending on your build you may not need any. Regardless, minion health does not compete with player health/defenses - they just go in different affix slots entirely.

[paper fable]

maybe because i have too many uniques, and i cant modify them, and thats why i have no defense

[sinful laurel]

this is not a game where you use uniques in every slot

especially for a new player without a lot of advanced legendary gear

[paper fable]

ok, any recommendation to farm ansecstral (purple) gear?

[sinful laurel]

work on your defenses first

get to empowered monos

and then hunt the nodes for the exalted item types you want

you can also hit dungeons on the right exalted type drop day

asking here since its the weekend. Do we know if silver shroud dodge is coded the same as regular dodge? i assume it is based on the wording. Asking for ward gained on dodge from ward trail, hoping it gives ward from a silver shroud dodge too

[knotty tinsel]

welll.... I mean..... if you have them....

[paper fable]

how am i suppose to do eterra blessing on scorpion in the mess with 40 monsters around me

[sinful laurel]

Not if it gimps your character, which it obviously is 🙂

[faint cape]

It finds a target. The only thing you have to worry about is trying to click near-ish to the scorpion so it doesn't target you instead

[paper fable]

i didnt even knew "A" existed 😛

[faint cape]

Helps if you have minion health bars on so you can see it a little better

[paper fable]

i have 350% minion health, but ill have to change it.
can i only have 1 scorpion?

[sinful laurel]

you only want one scorpion

[haughty compass]

what tier dungeon are you suppose to do when farming exalts?

[sinful laurel]

you can exalt farm on t3 no problem

but t4 will be the best if you can handle it with speed

[faint cape]

Yep, just the one scorpion, and minion health is not needed at all for that one since everything you do heals it

maybe you'd need to invest a bit into minion health if you want to push thousands of corruption or something, but no need to do that

[paper fable]

is there a way to use rune of removal without exhaustin forging potential on item so i can add another affix and upgrade it?

[sinful laurel]

get a critical success,

ie get lucky

otherwise no

[pastel pebble]

You can use it with Blue Glyph too, no?

[sinful laurel]

yeah you can use with hope pretty sure

also just to be clear, removal selects randomly, if you didnt know

[haughty compass]

if the t3 says helms? would the t4 also be helms?

[sinful laurel]

no, they are different. look at the t4 tab

[faint cape]

No, each tier is different

[sinful laurel]

on different rotations

[faint cape]

LE Tools has a nice summary page:https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/dungeons

[paper fable]

for scorpion i need dmg over time, or dmg over time for minion?

[native sail]

Minion damage over time

[paper fable]

nice 300% dmg over time, now need defense and health

what is arena?

[sinful laurel]

An endless enemy wave thing

You see bite size examples of it in monos

[paper fable]

is there a way to define filter to find items with high forging capacity?

[sinful laurel]

Nope sadly

[paper fable]

why there isnt filter affix minion dmg over time?

[sinful laurel]

"damage over time for minions"

kinda silly the shard is a different name than the affix but eh

[faint cape]

Nah, the affix is just janky, it is actually damage over time for minions. For some reason DOT affixes tend to have unconventional wording

[paper fable]

can i define loot filter that i want resistances 40% and higher?

[sinful laurel]

not directly iirc, but you can put rules on the affix tier. which in practice is the same thing

[paper fable]

so far i've seen i can only decide what affix, not what tier

[surreal verge]

Did you check the advanced filtering tick

[faint cape]

Be careful not to make your filter too strict. Crafting in this game is really powerful, so it's more important that you have a good crafting base than that the item is already good to use

If you have the resist affix you want even at T1, the item is good for you because you can trivially craft it up to T5

(Unless your FP takes a bomb)

[paper fable]

thanks for the help, that scorpion is soloing them, easy peasy

[faint cape]

Glad to hear! That scorpion build is pretty great

[paper fable]

and now im sending him into battle like pokemon
"skorupi i choose you, skorupi use poisen nova"
it was super effective

[native sail]

Drapion my beloved

[paper fable]

i dont know why i got poisen vines in my build, and its fucking my preception with blessing the scorpion,

YESSSS I GOT IT!!!

vilatria downfall for my meteor sorcorer

less go

[paper fable]

im confused, i cleared stolen lance and got blessing, but black sun isnt unlocked for me

[sinful laurel]

stolen lance doesnt connect to black sun

fallof the outcasts leads to stolen lance (if level 62 option is chosen) or black sun (if level 68 option is chosen)

[distant compass]

If i have 20 flat spell and skill has 20 flat lightning, will the calc be last 40 spell lightning*(incr spell+ incr lightning+ 4%int)(more) ? and this means it scales of spell and lightning same way

[surreal verge]

yes

[sinful laurel]

As long as you don't convert the spell base

[distant compass]

yea i mean with any hit dmg build doesn't matter what to scale spell or element unless there are multiple bases of elements

[sinful laurel]

It does matter if you have adaptive spell damage

It adapts to the tags of the skill. So if you scale lightning damage on your gear and then convert the skill to fire. All that flat adaptive is no longer boosted

[toxic anvil]

wait can't u even put it on at t1 for a minimal cost?

[surreal verge]

You need the affix slot, but yeah

[toxic anvil]

aight

[faint cape]

Yeah for sure, assuming the affix is open for it - no reasonable way to check for open affixes on the filter, though

[toxic anvil]

can't specify 3 or less?

[faint cape]

It's technically possible to check, but it's annoying, and to discern between open prefixes and open suffixes takes 2 rules.

[surreal verge]

Or check with rarity....

[faint cape]

Basically, you'd need to comb through the affix filter and select all prefixes in one rule, use advanced stuff to do something, and then do the same for all suffixes in another rule

and you'd also need to update it every time they add/remove/change affixes

[toxic anvil]

gooot it

what stuff should I shatter?

[sinful laurel]

things with affixes you need

removal first to use up FP

then shatter

[faint cape]

Things with high tiers of affixes you need, or just generally rare ones (like class-specific and hybrid health)

[toxic anvil]

why removal?

[sinful laurel]

because removal guarantees the full number of shards, if you hit the affix you want

shatter is random

[toxic anvil]

oh damn?

so shatter is random for each affix?

[sinful laurel]

i always removal on blues with rare affixes i need

[sinful laurel]

yes, from zero to max

[toxic anvil]

max being the affix level or 7?

[sinful laurel]

affix level

[faint cape]

Yeah, shatter gives minimum 1 shard total, but 0 to the tier for each individual affix

[toxic anvil]

how many times can i removal?

[sinful laurel]

until you're out of FP

[toxic anvil]

sorry?

[faint cape]

^ so you can use glyph of hope to maybe get more chances

[cunning hamlet]

how can i join a guild in this game?

[sinful laurel]

you can't

they dont exist

[faint cape]

Like for a T5 affix, a shatter rune can give 0-5 shards of that affix. You'll at least get one shard of something, though, unless you shatter an item with no affixes on it for some reason

[cunning hamlet]

no guilds in this game? so i have to be alone all the time?

[faint cape]

but a removal will give 5 shards every time if it removes a T5 affix, or 6 for a T6, etc.

[sinful laurel]

nah, there is multiplayer

just not guilds

[cunning hamlet]

is there a group finder tool then?

[toxic anvil]

will there be guilds?

#👥┃lfg i guess?

[sinful laurel]

not in game no, unfortunately

yeah LFG channel

[faint cape]

Probably at some point eventually

[toxic anvil]

trade is coming soon tho right?

[sinful laurel]

or...have friends 😉

[toxic anvil]

lol

[sinful laurel]

!trade

[ripe brook]

TRADE NEWS! https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/trade-development-update-introducing-merchants-guild-and-circle-of-fortune-factions/51994

[toxic anvil]

i mean we have a date

[sinful laurel]

oh yeah, we do

[faint cape]

Yeah, there's probably discord "guilds" somewhere out there

[toxic anvil]

anyone wanna join my reflect build guild 🤣

[sinful laurel]

slowest guild ever 🙂

[faint cape]

Not a chance 😅

[toxic anvil]

bro we murder thorn spire idk what youre talking about

🤣

ez map clears

[cunning hamlet]

well i hope the game implement an automated group finder tool and guilds otherwise for ppl who want to have a community will throw the game away quickly especially after full release

[sinful laurel]

you can still have a community

but some in game things would be nice for sure

also, this isnt an mmo

[cunning hamlet]

how if i´m alone!?

[sinful laurel]

#👥┃lfg

[surreal verge]

Invite people into your party with text chat like a normal person and #👥┃lfg \

[sinful laurel]

also, you are talking in a community right now

[toxic anvil]

it's a little different than dungeon queues

[sinful laurel]

people play and hang out in voice chats here all the time

[toxic anvil]

mono queues would be cool tho haha

[cunning hamlet]

i only joined discord because i had this question

[sinful laurel]

well, stay and don't be alone

[faint cape]

I believe they have said they plan on implementing something in game. It probably won't be super robust, though, tbh.

[cunning hamlet]

normally i expect such things ingame as mandatory....

[surreal verge]

And also not anything soon

[icy drift]

idk he's got rabbit in this name, reminds me of acidbunny

kinda sussy

[sinful laurel]

then you dont play many ARPG's

[surreal verge]

This game is a SP ARPg first, multiplayer game 2nd.

[toxic anvil]

arpgs don't have that necessarily

we do have trade coming soon tho

[cunning hamlet]

i have 1500+ hours in d3 and after d4 is total crap i tried poe and now last epoch

[toxic anvil]

d3 wasn't necessarily an mmo either

[cunning hamlet]

not sure what a lot means in your case

[surreal verge]

PoE is a good example, what partying?

[cunning hamlet]

but d3 has an automated group finder tool...

[surreal verge]

For fucks sake have you seen PoE trading

[icy drift]

idk a groupfinder is a super small and kinda insignificant feature in arpg's imo, but they did say that they are planning on adding one so there you go ^^

[cunning hamlet]

i havent managed to even finish act2

its too outdated for me

[icy drift]

Huh

[surreal verge]

[sinful laurel]

meaning?

[icy drift]

he really reminds me of acid now lul

[faint cape]

Finding groups of people who are on the same wavelength and roughly same server region is pretty tough, for sure, but Discord is probably the best way to do that in ARPGs in general

[surreal verge]

The cycle continues.

[cunning hamlet]

who is acid?

[sinful laurel]

guys chill lol

[cunning hamlet]

you talking about some user?

[sinful laurel]

yeah, a super toxic user.

[icy drift]

i'm just memeing 😛

[cunning hamlet]

outdated == 10 years old

[sinful laurel]

we are generally quite helpful

[native sail]

Oh lordy

[sinful laurel]

ok but nothing about this game is "10 years old

[toxic anvil]

10 years huh

[sinful laurel]

unless you can provide specific examples

[surreal verge]

But poE is still, well, one of the best ARPGs.

[native sail]

This game is over 5 years old already

[cunning hamlet]

ill stay but just saying it would be nice to see such feature if their missing at the moment

[icy drift]

poe is by far the best still, this game might rival it years in the future

[toxic anvil]

poe crafting is waaack

[surreal verge]

They do plan on making a basic one, but not anytime soon, they got other things in their piority list.

[sinful laurel]

and thats fair, but to say that the game will be thrown away without that one insignificant feature is kinda reductive and silly

[icy drift]

i enjoy LE's systems more generally, but poe is just leaps and bounds ahead in every aspect because of the sheer amount of time it's had

[cunning hamlet]

the crafting is also kinda a too much for me its too hardcore for casual gamers i believe

[surreal verge]

Errrr, it's the EASIEST in all current top ARPGs.

[icy drift]

yup and they've said they're planning to add it, we'll get it eventually ^^

[sinful laurel]

the crafting is like one of the best parts of the game, and also very straightforward and intuitive

[faint cape]

But yeah, just FYSA: #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[toxic anvil]

they may mean poe

[native sail]

Here is the answer @cunning hamlet
Group finder is something they will consider in the future. It will not be available at 1.0, they do not know when they will manage to put one in.
Guilds/clans are going to be exempt from the game until they find a better use for it as they want it to be more than just a chat and trade bypass storage system.

[cunning hamlet]

tons of different mats i dont know what to do with

[surreal verge]

Sure, it still takes like 5 minutes to learn, but it's not PoE hell.

[sinful laurel]

mouse over them

[cunning hamlet]

im too casual for poe

[icy drift]

are you talking about crafting in LE or Poe?

[sinful laurel]

it just sounds like D3 and D4 are more your speed, which is totally fine

[surreal verge]

There's a game guide on crafting.

[toxic anvil]

POE lmao

[icy drift]

since LE crafting is super friendly i feel lol

[surreal verge]

If you wana really learn.

[toxic anvil]

guys they mean poe

[cunning hamlet]

poe

[icy drift]

ah gotcha

yeah poe crafting can be a bit much for sure

[surreal verge]

Ah yeah

[sinful laurel]

oh poe crafting sure. my bad

[surreal verge]

oops

[toxic anvil]

poe crafting dumbbbb

[icy drift]

lul

[toxic anvil]

skill tree is fun tho 🤣

[sinful laurel]

crafting here is amazing

for the most part

[icy drift]

yeah LE crafting is the tits

[toxic anvil]

yeah just scream cause u dont find dmg reflect affixes 🤣

[cunning hamlet]

i have only a couple of hours in a week to play any game and poe seems thousands of ours are needed to understand that game in fully and make the best out of it

[icy drift]

you want reflect affixes? that's a new one lol

[toxic anvil]

ill murder u bro 😆

[sinful laurel]

this is a great game to play a few hours a week just fyi

LE is really good at letting you fuck around and figure shit out as you go

[native sail]

You dislike PoE crafting because it's complicated, I dislike PoE crafting because it's unfun to do, we are not the same

[cunning hamlet]

thats why LE is much more for player like me imo

[faint cape]

How? If he never hits you, that is

[surreal verge]

LE is very "Fuck around and find out" friendly.

[icy drift]

poe crafting is like those old people spamming slot machines

[toxic anvil]

ill run at him till he hits me lol

[nova copper]

What's the diffrence between Legendary Potenial 1 and 2 ?

[sinful laurel]

LP2 will take 2 affixes from the exalted item

at random

LP1 takes 1

[faint cape]

1 takes 1 random affix, 2 takes 2 random affixes

[surreal verge]

The number is the amount of affixes it will take at random.

[nova copper]

Makes sense

Thanks for the help ^^

[faint cape]

Whoops we just bombard-answered you lol

[native sail]

I actually like PoE crafting as a concept, I think it just needed refinement. Such as not letting you roll a bottom tier affix on an i86 base.

[surreal verge]

(Note that you need a 4 affix item to make a legendary, so no cheating!)

[sinful laurel]

we do that a lot

[native sail]

We do that a lot

[surreal verge]

Sometimes it's a typing race.

[faint cape]

😂

[toxic anvil]

i hope poe 2 fixes crafting

[sinful laurel]

"several people are typing"

[icy drift]

we want our brownie points

[toxic anvil]

ill play it happily then lol

[native sail]

I'll give PoE 2 a shot, my impression of it from what info we have is middling though

[toxic anvil]

LE crafting + POE = oooooo

[icy drift]

poe 2 seems hype af for me

[sinful laurel]

i am actually legit excited fo poe2

[toxic anvil]

same

[sinful laurel]

i love PoE

and I just need it to have a creep reset

[native sail]

Don't get me wrong. I love PoE. But PoE2 just seems a little... off from what I want from the game.

[sinful laurel]

we will see what it entails on release. But I am giving it a full throated try for sure

[toxic anvil]

when does it release?

[native sail]

Like I said, I'll give it a fair shot but I'm not keeping my hopes super high.

[toxic anvil]

cool 🤣

[native sail]

Pretty sure closed beta is next summer so... a while, I imagine.

[toxic anvil]

of

oooof

[sinful laurel]

yeah its gonna be 2025 my guess

[toxic anvil]

oh well

i hope we get more fun builds here

[sinful laurel]

wdym? there are a huge array of fun builds

[toxic anvil]

MOAAAR 🤣

i want more rebuke builds lmao

[sinful laurel]

ohhh, more fun thorns retaliate builds

smh

[toxic anvil]

DIE BRO

LMAO

to be fair rebuke is usually better 🤣

and u can clear maps pretty fast

sorta

as long as u have a good single target ability

monos not maps lol

[smoky halo]

if i were to put points into a skill - then another skill can activate the first one do the points count? for examples abyssal echoes has nodes in it. i cast warpath which cast abyssal echoes. will those nodes activate as well?

[sinful laurel]

yes

[smoky halo]

coolio ty

[sinful laurel]

it will cast your abyssal echoes

[smoky halo]

but like the points in echoes activate as well right?

[toxic anvil]

they count towards the cast skill

it's as if u manually cast it

so yeah

[smoky halo]

ok thanks

[sinful laurel]

yeah when i said "your" i meant your abyssal echoes.

[distant compass]

If i use mage helmet as LP fodder for non-class specific unique helm, and i fod stats into in(or non-class spec affixes), can other classes use the unique helm?

[sinful laurel]

if the unique takes a class specific affix on smash, it becomes class locked to that class

[distant compass]

What about stats and non-class specific affixes?)

does it work alr?

[sinful laurel]

only class-specific affixes lock the item

[distant compass]

cool)

im stupid farming t7 dex on mage helm, should do it on rogue...

[sinful laurel]

nah, stats arent class biased

at least im pretty sure we know that

[distant compass]

yup i see that but wanna be sure just in case yk

[sinful laurel]

up to you

better to stay on mage if you are playing mage though

as you can then get dex AND maybe a mage specific affix you want

[distant compass]

i mean i need dex+int on unique helm, but seems like dex rolls pretty rate on mage stuff

[surreal verge]

Not really?

[distant compass]

and faster to get t7 dex on rogue helm

[surreal verge]

Wait why does mage need de- It's shatterstrike isn't it.

[distant compass]

maybe, idk))

[faint cape]

Nah, I am pretty sure they aren't weighted that way

[sinful laurel]

pretty sure thats just anecdote bias

[distant compass]

dex invocation

[faint cape]

Item types are weighted for sure though

[surreal verge]

Oh the uniques.

[icy drift]

dex runemaster sounds cursed

[surreal verge]

I frogot about those.

[sinful laurel]

ARPG players are a superstitious lot

jesus

[icy drift]

kinda wish dex gave like 1% attack speed and int 1% cast speed

i wanna be a machinegun

make it a unique 😮

[distant compass]

hm idk but im getting like 100 int pieces and 2 dex on mage

[desert tree]

Laddle gives 0.5% CS per int

[surreal verge]

IT's not weighted.

You're just unlucky.

[distant compass]

it's kinda regular tho

alr gonna keep traking of it: D

btw seems like rogue can't have int on helm anyways: D

[icy drift]

yeah but ladle is cringe

[faint cape]

We only believe in rngesus here, thank you

[nova copper]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzAcCZ1I
Can this ring only drop from ring echos or can you get the ring from any echo ?

[distant compass]

from anywhere

[faint cape]

Anywhere, but it is level 72, so gotta be an area at least that high

[nova copper]

Me and a friends is discussing this, and he says his helmet can only drop from helmet echos and that's why he skips all mobs in other echos

[surreal verge]

He's stupid.

[nova copper]

Timeline to target farm: The Age of Winter ("Unique or Set Ring" echo rewards) <- this text makes it sound like it can only drop form the ring echos in the age of winter

[distant compass]

not only, just target farm

[faint cape]

There does seem to be confusion sometimes related to this. The operative wording on LE Tools is Timeline to target farm, just means you have better odds at getting a specific helmet if you farm things that drop helmets

Items in LE are in two categories, either random drops, or specific source drops.

[surreal verge]

Yeah, they have to read again since the lines AFTER that mentions:Random Drop.

Reading is hard! more at 11.

[faint cape]

tbf, it is a common confusion and isn't obvious to everyone what the specific terms mean

[nova copper]

Just started the game this week ^^ At lvl 91 atm, and ive not seen my ring drop yet '' Being doing age of winter 130 ish times by now ''

[faint cape]

LE Tools tries to be helpful in suggesting the best farming method, but it can be confusing if you aren't familiar with it

[surreal verge]

True, but you'll think "random drop" being written there means it's not the sole source.

[faint cape]

Could just mean it's not guaranteed from the above listed thing

(it doesn't mean that, but I can see why people are confused by it)

[faint cape]

This is what an item will look like if it only comes from a specific source, for reference: https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzBsEZQJiA

The key thing to look for is it doesn't have the line with Random Drop

[nova copper]

Thanks for all the help ^^ Ur a real G

[timber zenith]

Is there an exp penalty for partying with some one with higher/lower level

[junior stirrup]

What could cause enchant weapon not to recast after cooldown is over?

[sinful laurel]

A known bug

[junior stirrup]

oh ok, thx

[distant compass]

is there a build that uses sceptre with melee AS or melee flat or crit?

im saving those no idea why

[icy drift]

Some spellblades could use that

[distant compass]

can be better than sword?

i see like flame reave can convert spell into melee but still hard to see where sceptre is bis

[zealous orchid]

Prob way to early to ask but do we know if the devs have plans to do seasonal events like holloween, Christmas, Easter etc?

Realized that no other arpgs really do this when I think would be pretty fun also lots of $ in cosmetics

[candid elm]

There's a #1123698164503949392 channel, if you'd like to let them know you'd like to see that

[midnight heart]

Do pets serve any purpose besides looking cool?

[sinful laurel]

cosmetic only

[midnight heart]

I was hoping they could eventually be used for auto loot lol

[faint cape]

Nope

[granite sparrow]

im sorry guys, i watched some videos and i touhght i got it but why can't i upgrade the prefixes ?

[sinful laurel]

You don't have any shards

[granite sparrow]

oh, of course

thanks

so when i go to my mats and search bow- it only shows the ones i have- not all the shard that exist with "bow" right?

[sinful laurel]

Pretty sure?

[opal night]

when i finish the 3 90 monoliths is there anything else I need to do to open empowered monoliths?

there are 2 monoliths I skipped and I would rather not do those

[storm blaze]

Just go to the middle island of the 3

[opal night]

got it haha just read it

[desert tree]

Fire warpath

[icy drift]

Yes

You can't see shards you don't have currently, I think they should change that though tbh

Would make it easier to know what you don't have so you could filter for it

[desert tree]

Does Frost Beyond Time in Frostclaw skill tree makes selfIgnite from Immolator's Oblation last longer ?

Well it doesnt 😢

[sinful laurel]

I think it's not frost claw applying it

It's the belt applying it

[knotty tinsel]

not sure why it would. the skill isn't applying the ailment, the condition just procs whenever you meet it

mhm

[desert tree]

What about Eternal Flames in Enchant Weapon ?

[knotty tinsel]

even if it affects it I'd be 50/50 on whether it's intended

[sinful laurel]

Yeah. I still don't think the belt ignite is "you" inflicting it

[desert tree]

I thought self ignite and bleed were scaling with your own ignite and bleed stat

[knotty tinsel]

I thought that too and I also thought that's a bug

[icy drift]

This shouldn't work

You're not the one applying the ailment, the item is.

Unless you have a stat that says "ignites applied to you last longer" or something, nothing will work

[desert tree]

This is pretty sad

[minor fossil]

give the amalgamte souls a different answer to their question ???

[desert tree]

??

[minor fossil]

its a quest in mono but dont know how finsh this

[knotty hinge]

There are two answers, choose a different one

If you’re just starting out, you’re better off proceeding to the next monolith. There are two bridges that connect to your current one. As you approach the bridge you should see it build allowing you to cross.

[opal horizon]

where is the loot filter folder?

nvm

[candid elm]

You can just repeat the Monolith and pick the other option. I believe the one you're referring to is the first one, Fall of the Outcasts.

[wide sentinel]

nothing affects self inclicted ailments afaik

[polar stirrup]

Just a noob question, sry! But what procs HIT effects? Like on this item

[carmine coyote]

anything thats a hit

ex: disintegrate from mage will not proc it, since its not a hit, but fireball will, since its a hit

[candid elm]

as in Damage over Time is not a hit

[polar stirrup]

so there is Damage over time and Hit? Everything that isnt Damage Over Time does Hit?

[icy drift]

pretty much yeah

[carmine coyote]

yeah, some skills have both components in their disposal (judgement has both a hit and DoT)

[icy drift]

stuff can be an ailment with no damage, a damage over time or hit damage, or any combo of the three. I should clarify, a single damage instance can't be both dot and hit, but one skill can have both.

[polar stirrup]

can be damage over time and hit? I saw the tooltip for DoT, but didnt found a hit one

[knotty tinsel]

any damage instance can be only one or the other.

[candid elm]

For example, if you cast Fireball at an enemy, that will hit them. If the Fireball procs Ignite, the Damage over Time from Ignite isn't considered a hit.

[polar stirrup]

ohh, I see

thx

😄

And, just to be sure, a channeled skill can do damage on hit, like elemental nova with its talented.Its not because it becomes channeling that it becomes DoT, am I right?

[carmine coyote]

nope, its still a hit

its just channeled, instead being a single instance of cast

same as warpath, its channeled but its a hit

[polar stirrup]

just as I though! Thx for help! Really!

[pine trail]

What are the stability points used for?

[sinful laurel]

Quests/boss

[pine trail]

oh, cool

[candid elm]

That bar at the top of the monolith map. When it's full you can fight the boss - quests on the left side.

[pine trail]

Ok thnaks. I've been roaming around and found 2 different echo areas, had 2 different type bars at the top, but makes sense now

I'm playing around and researching what the best necro build for end game would be as well. Trying out retaliation build atm. Not even sure what other end game builds there are

I'm guessing shooting the golem the things thrown off are spike damage?

[candid elm]

LE is very forgiving in letting you change your Passives and Skills, if you want to experiment. You just can't change your initial class and chosen mastery.

If you'd like to check out some builds people have made:
Maxroll build guides https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides
LE Tools build guides https://www.lastepochtools.com/build-guides/
LE Tools builds https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/
Plus there's lots of streamers and people posting videos online as well.

[candid elm]

There's Bone Golem builds for Necromancer that are focused on that.

[pine trail]

Yeah I am a visual hands on, so been checking youtube for some builds. I've got bone golem full spike damage already, just wondered if the 360 things around him coming out was blood spatter damage or spike damage

Ok nevermind, answered my own question, its spikes. Spatter looks different

[candid elm]

Yeah the Bone Shatter from the Golem is a Physical Spell from the Golem. So you'd want affixes on your gear to improve minion health, minion damage, minion spell damage, minion physical damage, minion crit multiplier, etc. If you're using Dread Shade with the Egoism passive, then your Bone Golem will always crit - so you can just look for minion crit multi.

[pine trail]

Omg! I never realised I wasn't useing my dread shade, and my golem wasn't critting hardly at all.........cast dread and holy crap, ole golem boy crits like a madman!

[pine trail]

Ice vs fire build, what does more dmg?

[sinful laurel]

That's...an impossible question to answer

[pine trail]

Well I'm curious as towhat to build, was wondering about dmg overall, no special gear. I know ice has slow/freeze, just was curious about the normal dmg

[silver axle]

Can I just skip the rest of the campaign once it says I collected all passives in the bottom left corner of the map ?

[sinful laurel]

Cold and fire builds both can be very strong or piss poor across classes, masteries, gear etc

We would need WAY more information to even begin forming an answer

[sinful laurel]

Idols too but generally yes

Unless you want that sweet +1 all attributes

[silver axle]

Is that actually impactfull or just a meme ? 😄

[sinful laurel]

Depends on the build

[wicked plover]

does leech count as heal?

[desert tree]

Nope

[wicked plover]

damn okay, ty

[candid elm]

Yes, if you want to. I did the campaign once and then just go into monoliths once I have 15/15 passives and 8/8 idols unlocked in Act 7. If you want to get the +1 all attribute quest later, the exit of the Temporal Sanctum dungeon puts you into Act 9. Bit of a short cut. It's not a big deal if you just skip it, though.

[pine trail]

Sheeze.....as a necro I couldn't find minion damage to save my life literally 3 days in a row and not a single minion damage at one time.......as a mage thats all I get is minion damage, ugh!

[viral parcel]

this may be dumb

has the game ever gone on sale

i know its early access and usually early access games dont go on sale

[dusky kite]

yes but they said no more sales until after release

[viral parcel]

how large was the sale

if you dont mind me asking

actually doesn't matter

[faint cape]

They do 25% off when they do sales

[maiden patio]

If I have the upgrade for summon bone golem that splits it into two lesser golems, will that restrict a prefix on a piece of armor that gives +1 to summon bone golem?

[dusky kite]

+1 to skill gives you more points to spend in that skill's tree

it doesn't give you an extra golem

[maiden patio]

oic, thanks

[fringe oasis]

how do I get weaver item? does it drop randomly or location/enemy specific? what exactly does weaver "influence" <sorry, PoE vocabulary slave> do?

[buoyant sinew]

weaver's will can only appear on specific uniques (which always drop with some amount of it and can't get legendary potential), it's not a system-wide alternative to legendary potential. all of those uniques are currently random drops

[pine trail]

So I am failing miserably at sorc builds lol.....can anyone suggest a lower level sorc build? I keep dying a lot

[wide sentinel]

look up leveling maxroll guide

[candid elm]

Maxroll has three suggested leveling builds for Mage depending on the Mastery
Sorcerer https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/sorcerer-leveling-guide
Spellblade https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/spellblade-leveling-guide
Runemaster https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/runemaster-leveling-guide

These should get you into early Monoliths, where you can transition into a different build later. Their other guides are typically for around level 70. But you'd also want to check if the build you're looking at going into requires a specific item or idol to function.

[pine trail]

I'm specing in lightning, just getting my butt handed to me lol

[wide sentinel]

if you are dying on low levels then its item/passive issue not your build

craft more gear, use flame ward

also dont face tank things, if u see big circles better to move out of them asap

[pine trail]

Oh I see now why......I'm specing lightning way to early lol, only lvl 17, that guide says don't use it until lvl 35

So....fireball it is

[candid elm]

They all recommend using Glacier when you get it.

[pine trail]

I'll go back to the glacier build I had, that seems to work......I am just specing way to early in stuff is all

Gear and such is fine

[pine trail]

Yep, I am moving to fast heh, need to go with it more, instead of racing to end game

[wide sentinel]

usually you shouldnt get hit much at all during leveling, you run and avoid all attacks while using skills from time to time

all meta leveling builds on all classes do that

[pine trail]

Yep, glacier I was doing well, just slow.......I'm so accustom to my neccro just blasting in and slapping stuff, can't do that with a sorc

That guide says spec but don't use, by spec, they mean put it on the bar up top?

[fringe oasis]

k thanks, guess I need more luck for them

[candid elm]

Yes, spec = specialize. So you can put passive points into the skill.

[pine trail]

@wide sentinel@candid elm thanks that helped emensly.......I had everything right just was trying to move to lightning to fast

[wide sentinel]

ye dont respect untill lvl 50+

when u unlock all skill slots

[candid elm]

You're welcome to of course make your own build and play your own way. That particular Sorc leveling guide later uses Lightning Blast as a single target skill at around level 35, when you unlock Static Orb for a clearing spell. But if you're going for a different Mastery - you're probably almost at the mastery selection point - you can of course do whatever master you want.

[candid elm]

Hmm, I respec when I get access to a new skill I want to use. Like I respecced Fireball into Glacier then Glacier into Runic Invocation when leveling a Runemaster.

[pine trail]

Problem with using the guides, a lot of them don't break down to level at said spec......so I was slotting stuff I need for lvl 35 at lvl 17 heh.........guides are fine, except for that. You can have a tree but the majority of them are lvl 100 or so, so it's hard to tell what to spec at what level

[candid elm]

They do, scroll down a bit. There's a summary near the beginning. Or you can go to the "Campaign Step by Step" for a much more detailed breakdown. Example of the Sorc summary:

[pine trail]

OH yeah that one does.......I meant the ones on youtube, and link to lastepochtools link

[candid elm]

Oh, a lot of the YT builds are going to be for end game builds. They kind of assume you've already got a high level character and the required items.

[pine trail]

That one is exactly how I'm building mine, but.....they specify don't use lightning until 35, which is kinda a key thing to know

Doing icewave and mana regen, with mana strike as well for mana regen. Wave takes a lot of mana, but it sure clears things out

[candid elm]

There's also a section on LE Tools with written build guides. Some of these have leveling guides as well in them https://www.lastepochtools.com/build-guides/

[pine trail]

I have some freeze idols and rings...gonna have to grab those again and use em

[candid elm]

Have fun : ) feel free to change your skills and passives if you want. Or make a new character if you're not feeling that mastery. A lot of builds don't really come online until late game, though. So it can be hard to tell early on.

[simple sorrel]

Can someone explain why this rare bow does less damage than Hell Reach for Detonating arrow? just curious why the tool tip says its worse? maybe its because its lightning damage instead of lightning BOW damage?

[wide sentinel]

cause hellreach has more flat damage, more attack speed and also pen

[simple sorrel]

ohh okay, TY

[last kettle]

I was wondering if the 45% drop rate for Peak of the Mountain is correct. I did 11 runs and no drop :/

[pastel pebble]

Those numbers are not official and sometimes luck be like that

[last kettle]

12 runs now, guess that's my luck tonight xD

[candid elm]

That seems very unlucky. What Tier are you running?

[grim jacinth]

Is there any other reliable websites for builds instead of maxroll?

[candid elm]

If you want written guides, there's a written build guide section on LE Tools https://www.lastepochtools.com/build-guides/

LE Tools also has a build aggregate thing, like it pulls builds from the LE forums and... YT maybe? I don't recall everywhere it gets them. These may not have as many details https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/

[grim jacinth]

Perfect thank you!

[candid elm]

There's also some streamers who do builds that you could look into. Some also post builds on maxroll and LE tools

[last kettle]

@candid elm running T1 so it's the only unique that can drop, I thought it would be the more efficient

[candid elm]

Yeah sorry you haven't gotten it yet. It's pretty common : (

[dense root]

you know it’s not more common at t1 right?

[faint cape]

Drop rates are known for dungeon boss drops. LP chance is higher in higher tiers, too.

[icy drift]

Pretty sure that running higher tiers is always better, it's not like the boss can only drop one unique at a time, so if you're not sacrificing too much on speed and or consistency just go for the highest tier you can

[last kettle]

Considering I can run max T2 I'd rather stick to T1 for speed and consistency. Didn't drop in 17 runs, don't want to risk it being the wrong unique when I finally get it xD

[bronze ocean]

Builds section is populated only from YouTube currently.

[candid elm]

Ah do the forum links in the builds come from the YT description or something?

[faint cape]

If you can run T2 reliably, I'd recommend it. The boss can drop multiple uniques.

[bronze ocean]

Prior to 0.9.0 there was also LE forums crawler, so some older guides from the forums are present as well

[candid elm]

Ok thank you : )

[serene urchin]

can i bring 1 purple stat to others gear ?

[pine trail]

So am I doing something wrong or is sorc class just really really squishy?

I'm firing the guides to the letter, I don't have any specific gear just have drops mostly yellow. As far as passive and skills I'm following what everyone pretty much goes by for a lightning build.

At lvl 22 I'm like crazy squishy, just wondered if that was normal and also if it will get better

[pastel pebble]

At 22? Yeah it can be for a bit

Sorc can get fairly tanky later on with investmemt

[surreal verge]

No

[pine trail]

Ok, I just seem to do a LOT of running/kiting at that lvl. I'm hoping the lightning build at like 50+ doesn't disappoint, really like to play it and enjoy it

[pastel pebble]

Lightning Sorc is a war criminal afaik

[pine trail]

War criminal?

[pastel pebble]

While the world has ended and the endtimes have long past we still uphold moral conventions

Sorc, like the exiled mages, has broken several of these

[pine trail]

That doesn't sound too encouraging lol

[pastel pebble]

It is if you wanna commit some war crimes, boy-o

[pine trail]

Might try the spin to win build see if I like it. Never been a melee type, more a caster/necro type, but I've played some melee classes that ended up being pretty fun

[acoustic perch]

hi guys. I'm about to buy the game, but the recent issues that I found in the community was crashing when you're about to log in to your characters. is this still an issue now?

[pastel pebble]

It largely only happens during server issues in EU-West AFAIK. I haven't had it nor a majority of the playerbase AFAIK. It's not a constant issue

[acoustic perch]

alright, thanks for the information

[next wadi]

Will the game reset everything by February 21?

[pastel pebble]

Nope

[buoyant sinew]

it's going to work similarly to other aRPGs in that there will be permanent and seasonal characters, and seasonal characters will become permanent ones when that season ends. that will happen for the first time with 1.0, but that's the closest thing to a reset that will happen

and unlike other aRPGs, seasonal content will also be accessible by permanent characters. there will still be a fresh start ladder for each season if desired

[next wadi]

Perfect, that's what I wanted to know. looking forward to the arrival of 1.0 then.

[hollow knot]

Is it coming to console does anyone know?

[faint cape]

Yes, but probably not for a while

[surreal verge]

It''s in their plans but not anytime soon.

[still wolf]

Haven’t played for about 9 months. Does the game still have weird micro stuttering issues ?

[sterile widget]

Never seen it in the past. Sounds like a YMMV kind of one

[glossy quartz]

there is any bleed build in this game? D:

[sinful laurel]

Several

[glossy quartz]

@sinful laurel can you give me few examples? i am trying to find and no succes... I only found one that is bleed lethal mirage pop and it isn't that exciting

[humble steeple]

Guys. What type of damage does the Lagon use with his breath attack? Frost? Trying to improve resistance. (talking about plot mode)

[royal swallow]

think he just does cold and later on lightning as well

and, as for his attacks, you should honestly learn his pattern and just dodge them since they do so much that they are def made to be dodged, and not facetanked.

if he looks down as his eye turns red, hes going for a quick burst attack, if he looks left or right as it turns red, hes going for his sweeping slow beam attack(so just move to the other side of the arena) and if he looks up he is casting his aoe blast in the middle where the moon picture is..

[humble steeple]

But i dont have moving skills on paladin, lunge doesn't work without enemy (

[sinful laurel]

Hail of arrows bleed with sanguine hoard, puncture bleed pop or no pop, line shurikens bleed, umbral blades blade spam bleed. And that's just rogue

[royal swallow]

trust, you dont actually need them if you just watch the middle, and you can lunge from 1 tentacle to the other

[humble steeple]

Thx, I'll try it today

[royal swallow]

once his eye goes red, you have about 2 seconds to get moving before he casts, so if you are on left tentacle, and see him turning red, just start running to the other side, and you should be p safe. hes tanky, so it might be a min of fighting, but you got this man

[humble steeple]

Thx for help )

[glossy quartz]

wooooow hail of arrows bleed looks interesting! there are bleed builds from other classes than rogue? O.O

[royal swallow]

oh yeah, im p sure there are even mage fire bleed builds that bleed themselves

[sinful laurel]

Of course

[glossy quartz]

which ones 😮

damn that is exciting

i love bleed builds in ARPGs

[silver axle]

what is a good build to braindead farm monolith (except minion builds) while i am in calls from work etc?

[buoyant sinew]

sentinel (both paladin and forge guard) has a bunch. primalist (beastmaster) has a few minion bleed options

bleed shield rush paladin is one of my favourite builds, unfortunately shield rush can currently bug out a bit if you use it very quickly and using it very quickly is the whole basis of that build, so I can't recommend it right now

[surreal verge]

Technically so can acolyte but it’s kinda subpar

(Bleed builds)

[distant hatch]

Brand new LE player here. I'm trying to figure out why this maxroll shaman guide (https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/shaman-leveling-guide) wants me to spec into Summon Thorn Totem at level 20.

"At level 20 spec into Summon Thorn Totem. Once Unbound Garden is specced in Spriggan Form, it becomes your main damaging skill. This build revolves around re-summoning them without stopping as they explode when they die."

Isn't Spriggan a druid spell? How can I get it as a shaman?

[desert tree]

You can invest passives points in the first half of your non mastered passive tree

You can put points in Druid and Beastmaster up to the first half

[buoyant sinew]

and doing so lets you unlock the skills under the first half of that tree

[left drift]

is it generally worth it to farm dungeons(t4 lighless and sanctum) on "drop more exalted" days if you can manage somewhat high corruption(around 600)? I get the impression that i get more exalteds by just doing echoes but i dunno if its just an illuson

[desert tree]

The new addition of Caches within did make Dungeons less worth imo. Why go all the way there when you can have about the same amount of exalted in your regular loop ?

[icy drift]

if you are specifically looking for an exalted helmet, doing a t4 exalted helmet dungeon will still reward you with more exalted helmets, unless you're at really high corruption

but you'll drop more exalted items total from echoes

[left drift]

okay,thank you both! I did some dungeons when i unlocked empowereds, but now after getting to 600 corruption i went back to try and do some runs and they just felt much more underwheming

[lofty inlet]

Hey, how is game latency lately? The ping seems perfectly fine, but the hubs with people seem to be laggy... again.

[sterile widget]

I didn't notice any the other day when there were four people in the end of time

[lofty inlet]

i mostly notice it when resetting skill and passive points

you click a few times and nothing happens, then it 'catches up'

meanwhile ping is steady and zero issues in solo monos

[cedar locust]

Which server are you on?

This is definitely worth an in game bug report, and if you let me know your Account name I can link that report to mine 🙂

[velvet plume]

hi, do I need to repeat the story again when 1.0 release?

[faint cape]

If you want to make a new character for any reason, such as participating in the leaderboards, then yeah.

[lofty inlet]

EU West

[cedar locust]

I'll make a note - would you mind checking if latency improves on another Server?

[lofty inlet]

ill check, i bet it is going to depend on the number of people in 'end of time' hub

hmm there isnt much to choose given how every other server gives 3-10 times more ping

xD

tried US east, but it had like two people in the hub so cant test it properly, on top of that there is the 3x ping bias

[cedar locust]

No worries, I'm just trying to collect data from players having issues on EU West that are improved by joining another server!

This is still worth sending an in game bug report for and I can still link that to my report if you don't mind letting me know your Account name 😊

[lofty inlet]

ye i did send it. account name is same as here

[cedar locust]

Perfect! Thank you!

[ebon pasture]

If i play on another server do i still cN play it on another server?

[faint cape]

Yes, characters are linked to your account, not the server you play on

[ebon pasture]

Noiceee

[quartz lily]

So, I made a good build with Runemaster - no concerns armor and damage wise

however ward is a bit of a problem

Could I ask anyone to point me in adirection how to generate more ward?

Using Flameward, Frostguard Invocation. 64 int in atm.
From passives, using Arcane Focus, Nimbus Walk, Edict of Scion, Runic Fortress, Decree of the Eternal Tundra...

and I'm only getting like... 3-4 k ish

[pastel pebble]

Shackles of somethin'

They give ward retention off uncapped cold resist

[quartz lily]

is a unique always necessary?

for that?

[pastel pebble]

Well its rhe only item that has that ability on it

Unless you wanna switch more towards lowlife

[quartz lily]

Thats also uniques

:/

Kinda not liking that the ward generation is tied to uniques in this game

[pastel pebble]

I'm not saying you gotta use 'em, I'm saying that specific unique is an option as it's one of the more powerful pieces

[quartz lily]

hmmh

[pastel pebble]

Lowlife also has those experimental affix gloves you could use instead

There's another that provides extra decay thresholds

[quartz lily]

but those are like 100sh ward

[candid elm]

I think that's about what I get on my Runemaster as well when running around. When in sustained combat it can go a bit higher.

[quartz lily]

not the 10k ward I'm seeing the builds with uniques push out

cause here's my problem.
Name a high corruption ward build that doesn't run the following, ideally no other ward-generating/retention uniques:

• Twisted Heart of Uhkeiros
• Boneclamor Barbute
• Frostbite Shackles

cause i wanna see how they do it

[pastel pebble]

High corruption in that it's 1000c?

[quartz lily]

what's the "good build" territory nowadays, 600?

and more?

[candid elm]

What about Jagged Veil? Celestial Doom? First is Ward on Crit and second is Ward on Branded Boss Hit.

[dark rune]

Zombie poison build

[quartz lily]

The two assume you hit often and crit often which is not the case for my build. I hit like maybe 5 times per 2-3 seconds

[pastel pebble]

600c is definitely good, it's hitting all the marks it needs to

[quartz lily]

So let's say 600 for the sake of example

[dark rune]

Hybrid but still works.
3k+ life
Permanent 1k+ ward. Hitting 6k ward when you pop potions

[candid elm]

What is the Runic Invocation you're using? I was playing with Hydrahedon and it hits a ton.

[quartz lily]

Using frostguard

for ward gen specifically lol

[faint cape]

Design-to criteria should be 300c probably

Nothing wrong with 3k ward + decent life really

[quartz lily]

well I've like 1k life, suffixes kinda tight as is.

[dark rune]

Pair that with max block and max endurance

[quartz lily]

Staff user (need shock chance) and no space on suffixes for endurance

or health for that matter

unless i wanna walk around with uncapped res

[faint cape]

Undercapped res is fine as long as it's not too under

[dark rune]

True true

You can have 60% res and you are still good

[quartz lily]

yea i try to keep over 50 for non-elemental

regardless

[faint cape]

but if you are surviving off ward only, endurance is a waste

[quartz lily]

Maybe to make it a little easier to show you where im at

[dark rune]

But see. You asked for builds. Necro has a lot of res on the tree. You basically overcap necro and poison res

You get at least 50% all elemental res also

All you need is 25% all elemental res on boots or belt

And void res

[faint cape]

Necro doesn't generate ward without uniques afaik. Not counting bugs.

[dark rune]

Zombies dying generate ward based on their healt

[quartz lily]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/5Q0bdbKo here's where I'm at at the moment.

[dark rune]

Only 2 rings you need are the putrescence

[quartz lily]

its great damage, good armor (even more once I get Static Shell)

but ward seems... kinda mid

[dark rune]

Why do people not use this?

[candid elm]

Hmm, you've got just 38% crit avoidance. Way over capped on multiple resists.

[quartz lily]

Thats cause im planning Ocearons down the road

And Static Shell

[surreal verge]

Base only useful for necro minions.
The wep is 2h giving up catalyst/shield.
The unique itself is kinda too defensive

For most builds there's better options.

[dark rune]

I can afk Jura in tier 3 with this

[surreal verge]

Yes and?

[dark rune]

Basically an unkillable build

[quartz lily]

Without those, I'm under on void and cold

[surreal verge]

People can murder T4 julra fast.

[quartz lily]

would be great if I had 150 % fire for Rush but

still

[surreal verge]

Meta wise, that's why

But LE is a 'fuck around and find out' game, if it works it works.

[dark rune]

But when trade is going to be open you won't be able to play meta that much

Since the items will be expensive

[surreal verge]

Just do what we have been doing right now.
Farm for it.

[candid elm]

Can you try and get that Empowered Blessing for Crit Avoidance? If you got a high roll on it, you could cap on that (if your current 38% is from gear and not a regular Blessing)

[faint cape]

Yeah, definitely need crit mitigation of some kind

[quartz lily]

I preferred crit reduction for armor.

[dark rune]

Now because it's mostly a single player you can farm

[quartz lily]

for Static Shell + Runic Fortress + Runeword Inferno

[dark rune]

But they did say they will reduce drop rates for more powerfull uniques

[quartz lily]

but whatever works

[surreal verge]

Yeah but it'll be replaced with Circle of Fortune, which CAN buff drop rates to slightly higher than rn at the cost of trade.

[candid elm]

Ok do you have 100% from that? The bot summary doesn't list it

[faint cape]

The blessings obviously need some work, you can massage those and squeeze more ward/etc out of your build

[surreal verge]

It 100% depends on how you play.

[dark rune]

That's true

Might as well play a single player if you don't trade

🤣🤣

[surreal verge]

We have tho. We play online to verify builds

[dark rune]

For now

[faint cape]

Huh? Multiplayer is about playing with people, not trade

[dark rune]

When 1.0 comes out trade is also out

[surreal verge]

(Also CoF might not exist in SP, but i"m not sure about that)

[faint cape]

It does

[dark rune]

It's also about trading

[desert tree]

I know you want static shell for dmg a'd more armor but you can consider titan heart in the mean time

[quartz lily]

Oh for sure, not a bad idea

[surreal verge]

Wait, unnerfed? Damn

[quartz lily]

i think i got one in stash

[faint cape]

Yeah, for sure - you can't choose to trade, so they gotta make the game still playable

[faint cape]

Not at all, maybe you mean "online" rather than multi

[quartz lily]

nah 38% reduction and 44% avoid atm

[dark rune]

What do you mean?

It's nice when you have a group of people and they farm in a different timezone

[faint cape]

Well, we have multiplayer already and no trade - alternatively, nothing would stop the devs from making trade without multiplayer

[candid elm]

Try to get one or the other to 100% when you can. Whichever you prefer.

[quartz lily]

the plan is to get 100% between gloves, belt and boots, boots got a t6 so thats nice

[faint cape]

but can't do either without online (which is where LE was not too long ago)

[quartz lily]

still a biit of a ward problem tho

[pastel pebble]

Drop the ward

[quartz lily]

But

My brand

[native sail]

Nope. They said we will have less total loot than now, nothing about the actual drop rates.

[quartz lily]

Drop rates will diminish naturally once theres more uniques total

[native sail]

Sure but that's not the same thing as devs intentionally making drop rates for "more powerful uniques" worse, that's just diluting the pool and is a side effect of growth

[faint cape]

But also maybe they will feel like nerfing bastion's drop rate again. Lol

[native sail]

-1 vitality per 1% block chance
98% reroll

but in a non-shitpost way, I think a shield that gives a scaling health penalty in exchange for like scaling block effect would be pretty cool

[pastel pebble]

Honestly ye

[quartz lily]

I dunno man, you see any way i can squeeze in more ward gen here?

[dark rune]

It's about shadow nerfing when the game becomes more popular

[native sail]

[candid elm]

Not sure, I'm getting my Ward on Runemaster from hitting the enemies a lot. Sounds like that doesn't help your build

[toxic anvil]

any way to inflict hits on yourself?

[desert tree]

Not that I know of
I know a few ways to get self inflected ailments.

[toxic anvil]

ahhh shoot

i'm trying to see if I can get rebuke to work against bosses but I have to use forge strike for single target dps instead

[desert tree]

Have you consider Smelter Wrath?

Don't know if that fit your build

[toxic anvil]

the final skill on the passive tree?

(for forge guard)

yeah I still gotta level that far lol

im realizing that smelter's wrath might be a better rebuke just now 🤣

[toxic anvil]

is detonating ground, caused by forge strike a skill that inherits forge strike's crit chance?

and damage increases from the forge strike tree

[marsh maple]

Yeah just treat it like an extra hit for forge strike essentially

[toxic anvil]

wait WUT

I HAD NO IDEA

it gets the +fire dmg also?

from temper?

[wind blaze]

HI community, I joined some party and now my quests are bugged

how to fix it?

why does the quests in this game bug like that

can devs fix it finally once for all ?

[royal swallow]

b

e

et

a

[wind blaze]

such a big bummer that this happens, otherwise would be good game

[royal swallow]

i mean, have you even tried relogging, leaving party, completing a quest to see if it catches back up?

you asked a question, then kinda started spamming and bashing the game expecting devs to do something about ur quest bug within 10s of asking about it lol....

[desert tree]

Yes

[toxic anvil]

so it's basically a much higher base dmg forge strike?

[royal swallow]

and, bear in mind, this is a game in beta, it says you will encounter bugs right on the launch screen. so just take a breath and im sure theres a solution..just dont come in so aggro friend

[wind blaze]

I tried almost anything, and it's kind of not just me cause internet is flooded with similar problems just different quests, so it probably means it's some fundamental problem with the design that quests must be fixed for bugging like that on one by one basis.

[desert tree]

Yes, and another hit, so if you want to stack ailment is good too

[toxic anvil]

also if i have gambler's fallacy, will both hits crit?

[royal swallow]

okay, but you just said "joined a party and now quest bugged, devs fix, man this game would be good if this didnt happen" but you havent explained actually whats happening bud.

bugged how? can you not complete them, accept them, are the quest states wrong?

[desert tree]

Not sure

[wind blaze]

I completed quest, but quest still appears not to be completed

I need to talk to some guy in end of time

which I did, he told me to go back to previous era

but after loggin back to game, quest is not completed

and talking to him does not complete the quest

he just says go back to previous time

does that make sense?

[surreal verge]

DId you pick your mastery

[wind blaze]

yes

[surreal verge]

Sounds like the inital end of time quest

Did you go back in time and start the next quest?

[wind blaze]

I think so

I need to find some city

and go to docks first

but quests are not showing up

but I can talk to NPCs

and points of interests are showing on the minimap

[surreal verge]

Hm I don't think I've ever seen THIS quest bug out.

[wind blaze]

but this is not reflected in quests

I know I might have clicked something to join some party

and maybe that bugged everything

[surreal verge]

You can try proceeding. It might update.

Oh that might have accidentally caused it.

[wind blaze]

yeah that;s what I was trying to proceed cause point of intersts lead me on map, but quests are not showing up on the right as being completed

[surreal verge]

It might clear once you 'start' the next quest, which should be once you hit the next town

[wind blaze]

will see

I mean I could restart it's only like 21lvl

but maybe I'll continue and see

I was hoping that this type of things won't happen with game accessible from 4 years ago

beginning of 2019

yeah yeah beta... but 4 years

yeah and logging drops in in end of time location

although I wasn't there

[surreal verge]

That's intended.

[sinful laurel]

@cedar locust sorry for the ping, can I ask a question?

[distant compass]

is it possible that's there not at least 1 reroll rewards node on the whole mono map?

[native sail]

Sure. It's RNG.

[cedar locust]

Hello! What's up?

[sinful laurel]

For the forums channels i.e. suggestions, feedback etc, are the posts only logged to the team if you mark them with a bee? Or is that just your thing and they are still logged by other team members with no emote?

[cedar locust]

They're logged, I'll tell the team about the bee (that's on me, I forgot) Sorry!

There is sometimes a backlog (especially after weekends) though we do our best to make sure that's all logged too!

[sinful laurel]

Oh ok Coolio. All good. I was just thinking some weren't even seen unless they had the bee. But if that's not the case then no worries 🙂

[digital nest]

Is something like Cobra Lunge not working with Viper's Call/Swarmblade form a bug or is that a normal interaction? I thought it would give me the lunge when armblading in swarmblade form

unsure if it's just a function of skills functioning as other skills

[faint cape]

It's bugged

[wind blaze]

See ?bugeged

quest done, but still shows up on the right as not done

[digital nest]

nice, is that a known bug or something I should report?

[faint cape]

I don't know, if you don't see it in #1123698102470189118 it doesn't hurt to make one

[grim jacinth]

Hi all, I just started LE. Currently lvl 20. Should I be crafting already or save it for later on?

[native sail]

Crafting is integral to the tame

[grim jacinth]

I don’t understand? Should I save the resources until end game? Since it seems I’m low lvl so items are being replaced constantly

[reef summit]

So the season 1 of last epoch starts 14 feb ?

[native sail]

If you can make an item better/better than what you have via crafting there's no real reason not to

[grim jacinth]

Does equipment level matter? Or is it mostly abt the affixes ?

Sorry am just started so I’m still learning all the info

[reef summit]

Level matters for drop rate

[native sail]

Equipment level is determined by the affixes

^

Every base has an inherent requirement level but all it means is when it's able to drop, from then on it's just affixes affecting the requirement

[grim jacinth]

I see, so in general it’s better to craft on a higher level item then

[native sail]

Uh... it's best to craft on an item that has two desirable affixes already on it really

[grim jacinth]

I see. Bc currently I’m running a bet build with my beast master. I found a scepter that has minion dmg and health. So then I should craft it to make it even better right?

[native sail]

Yep, that should help you for sure

[grim jacinth]

I see thanks

Also, I found some uniques but that’s not for my class. Is there any website or resource I could use to see what build that unique is good for?

[native sail]

Lastepochtools.com has a tab that's every published (not every created) build so can check there

[grim jacinth]

But I would have to look through every build to see if it uses that specific unique?

[faint cape]

Filter by unique

[acoustic thicket]

What is max leech % 10?

[pastel pebble]

Max leech from what?

You can gave multiple sources of leech

Some on weapons being fairly high. You can check the prefixs for it on Last Epoch Tools

But some skills offer it as well

[acoustic thicket]

Leech health, on an item

[pastel pebble]

Which item?

Gloves or weapon?

[acoustic thicket]

Just any

[pastel pebble]

It varies like I said

Weapons tend to go higher than gloves

2H specifically

[acoustic thicket]

I mean is there a ten?

[pastel pebble]

What are you asking?

Do you want specifically 10% leech?

[acoustic thicket]

I've seen like 9.777777

Yeah

[sinful laurel]

But...why?

Can you have 10.00001% leech? Or is that not ok

[pastel pebble]

This is an odd question. It opens more questions

A) Are you needing more leech?
2) What is your mastery and build?

[acoustic thicket]

Yes I want leech

For necromancer

[pastel pebble]

Ok

[sinful laurel]

Leech for you or for your minions?

[acoustic thicket]

I use drain life and blood golem

[pastel pebble]

But do you need it for you or your golem

[acoustic thicket]

I'd Def take both

[sinful laurel]

And does it have to be exactly 10%?

[acoustic thicket]

Nope, that was mostly just me wondering how high it can go

[pastel pebble]

Leeching ends once you hit max health

[sinful laurel]

Ah ok. Well that's good. To answer that there isn't technically a cap, just only so many sources of it

And leech for you is distinct from leech for your minions. With a few niche exceptions

[acoustic thicket]

🤔

Interesting

[pastel pebble]

You'll find leech for minions under the minion affixes and on some uniques. Some even grant their damage as leeched health to you

[acoustic thicket]

Yes I like that effect very much

I basically making a vacuum cleaner

[sinful laurel]

If you're a fire minion build and want leech look at the unique amulet logis hunger

[grim jacinth]

Hi all, do you guys recommend the maxroll loot filter or lastepochtool’s loot filter?

[sinful laurel]

Your own is always the best

[acoustic thicket]

Ok ty

[grim jacinth]

I’m only lvl 20 rn so idk enough of the game make a good enough filter haha

[sinful laurel]

A good place for beginners to start is heavy'z filters

Take the one for your class and customize the rules to suit your needs

And you can see how they are constructed

[grim jacinth]

What’s that? Is that the one from LEtools?

[sinful laurel]

Quick Google. https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/0-9-2-heavyz-casual-loot-filters-for-all-classes-v3-1/25176

[grim jacinth]

From this, I just import the filter for my class correct?

[sinful laurel]

Yes follow the directions on the post. And again I don't recommend using it out of the box. Customize the rules to your build

[candid elm]

If you're looking at a maxroll levelling guide, then sure. If you're looking at an end game guide, then no, wait until you're later in the game for those.

As you said you're level 20

[pine trail]

Looking for the 11th hr folder, can't find it. The c:\ line listed on that site doesn't exsist for me

oh wait, I bet it's under steam

[sinful laurel]

No. If you have windows you have a C: drive. Unless you did some weird drive relettering or partitioning I guess

[pine trail]

no?

Nope it's from steam so it wn't be in the root

[sinful laurel]

It will still be in the root, bevause it's not part of the steam install

[pine trail]

All the steam games are under steamapps

Ok so back to squre 1, where would I look, that path doesn't even exsist for me

[sinful laurel]

Part of the game installs into appdata to hold game data that doesn't stay in the steam folder

Do you have a C: drive?

[pine trail]

I don;t have an appdata folder

[sinful laurel]

You need to show hidden files and folders

Go to start menu

Search bar

Type show hidden folders and should pop up with the settings menu for it

Then just find the checkbox in the list, check it and click apply

[pine trail]

Right did that, still nothng

Only thing that did was show desktop.ini

[fickle slate]

I would just like for someone to verify that this specialization gives skeletal vanguards.
The tooltip also mentions skeletal warriors, so I wanted to see if there is some issue or if it's just a typo.

[desert tree]

Can you not use steam to go to your files directory straight away?

[sinful laurel]

You don't put the loot filter file in the steam game folder though

[sinful laurel]

Post a screenshot of the path you are on

[desert tree]

Oh sorry, didn't see the beginning of the conversation

[sinful laurel]

Also alpha. Just do it the easy way and paste the pastebin into the filter field in game

[pine trail]

Ok found it finally

Windows and it's bs multiple user crap. It has user, default user wtf......why convelute shit, so annoying

[sinful laurel]

When it says user it means you 🙂

[hidden kettle]

Hello. question about damage..If i find a bow with cold damage..does it do cold damage now? Or is there some pre requiste needed?

also, what kinid of damage is best for say a detonating arrow user? elemental? bow damage?

% or + ?

[sinful laurel]

Technically yes, if the skill is a bow tagged skill

[pine trail]

Yes but I have like 5 users. 2 of wich are user and default user, why do I need both? make it one or the other, ugh......obviously there are gonna be other user names if other users are using said pc.......but just make it defaut user or user, not both. basically I have me, user and default user

[hidden kettle]

yeah, i mean its a skill the bow has

[sinful laurel]

Art it seems that you have some misconceptions about how damage works here. It's ok. All damage is based on the tags that the skill you are using has

[hidden kettle]

so for detonating arrow? where are these tags?

[icy drift]

Hover over it in your skill bar

And it'll say scaling tags

[sinful laurel]

You want to focus on damage types that match those tags

[hidden kettle]

hm ok. brb gotta log in

[pine trail]

Ok time to play some LE and play with the filter wheeeee

[icy drift]

Once you learn the filter system it's so nice

Highly recommend

[pine trail]

Here's hoping I get some health drops and lightning damge drops. Yesterday I could get eother, to save my life!

[icy drift]

Instead of taking one from maxroll and having no clue how it works lol

[native sail]

I just make a filter for every build

[sinful laurel]

Show off

[buoyant sinew]

same

dunno what I'm going to do once trade hits though 🫠

[hidden kettle]

i see lol. how did i miss that

thanks guys

[native sail]

Make more filters

[hidden kettle]

about items..seems i found most good items at around level 40 in campagin..been doing some echoes and havent found much that can match what im all ready wearing

most uniques seem useless

im level 65 now

[native sail]

Standard new player mentality

[pastel pebble]

Most uniques tend to be more niche than universal

[hidden kettle]

and struggeling in the first echo lol

monoloth

i mean

[pastel pebble]

Hey! We can't all be city planners. Some of us gotta lower ourselves to be architects

[buoyant sinew]

almost all uniques have a use but you shouldn't expect uniques to be best in slot

[hidden kettle]

lmao

[icy drift]

Same

[sinful laurel]

Also, just to be clear. If your bow gets a flat cold damage roll, your skill will still do cold damage even if doesn't have the cold tag, you will just have split damage which isn't ideal

[native sail]

I am going to plan your execution and it will NOT be void themed

[buoyant sinew]

most builds use a few uniques and the rest rare/exalted

[hidden kettle]

but for example i found alot of items with + dex until level 55..now i never find anyone

[pine trail]

Ok I'm confused. I'm importing the xml filter, but all it does is open a web browser with html code, ie: the filter...........do I need to copy that and paste it somewhere?

[sinful laurel]

Download the XML file

[pine trail]

The filter is in the filter folder already

[sinful laurel]

Place it in the filters folder

[pastel pebble]

I'm a Sentinel supremacist

[pine trail]

Got that part, but no filter is there

[pastel pebble]

Nothing you can say or do would hurt me

[pine trail]

I have import and create new

[icy drift]

Think the way I make my filters now will still work perfectly well for trade, I show anything with a decent exalted stat but most of them are small and grey or big and white, while stuff that's good for me is big and red. So I can still see stuff that I'd maybe wanna sell

[pine trail]

Oh nm, grrr

[sinful laurel]

Then you either put it in the wrong spot or put the wrong thing in the right spot

[pine trail]

It pops up that export and new by default

I thought it wouldn't pop that up anymore

[sinful laurel]

Or you just missed it lol

[pine trail]

Nah, it pops up that export and create new by default. I removed all my other filters I had.....usign just heavy's, so maybe it though I didn't have any filters at all. I just exited out of the create new screen and droppd down to the filter and it's loaded now

[hidden kettle]

So if my skill scales with lightning damage does shock help me? is that related to lightning damage?

[icy drift]

Yes

[sinful laurel]

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

[icy drift]

Shock will shred lightning resistance and increase stun chance

[sinful laurel]

That site is your friend

[hidden kettle]

ok ty ty

[pine trail]

OMG sorc can be so frsutrateing!

Squishy as hell!

[plush condor]

wellcome to being a mage , glass cannon

[sinful laurel]

You can actually build a pretty tanky sorc, even after the LK nerf

However, outside of meteor, RM is basically just a better sorc on every way. Unfortunately

[pine trail]

Yeah, just low level is a major pita.......lvl 24 and while it's better, I still need to be on the move. Not getting drops like health stuff to save my life 😦

[sinful laurel]

Craft them 🙂

[pine trail]

Health is 354, regen is 18 😦

I've been trying, not getting any drops

I get minion damag 90% of the time 😦

[sinful laurel]

Don't worry about Regen. Worry about getting some sources of ward and some base hp

For an early game mage with no twink gear, reactive ward is a literal lifesaver

[pine trail]

Thats just it, I haven't gotten any health/health regen, health anything in the past 2 days, not a damn thing

ward I definately haven;t gotten any

I might try the gamler see what it gives me

[sinful laurel]

You get ward from your skills and passives

And you are telling me you haven't gotten any health shards at all? You can't craft health on anything?

[pine trail]

Oh I have flame ward, but thats basicaly for temp

[sinful laurel]

Flame ward is huge defense

[pine trail]

Nope, all the stuff I have is from my necro

[sinful laurel]

So?
