If you're doing that Sorc leveling build, it has you switch to Static Orb and Lightning Blast at level 35. If you're doing your own thing, then do whatever you'd like : )

[grim jacinth]

hi all, are there any benefits going to exploring areas/zones of the map thats not directly correlated to the campaign ?

[ashen meadow]

What are the max passive points you can allocate?

[sinful laurel]

113

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/ is your friend

[ashen meadow]

Cool ty

[faint cape]

Rarity-wise, it's technically just a rare item. But yes, the blue patterned bottom-right means it has an experimental affix.

[sick rampart]

when setting the loot filter, if i add a rule to hide all items and on top of it add a rule to recolor items with x condition, does that means that rule will recolor and show said items or do i have to duplicate this rule and add the condition show in it?

[sinful laurel]

Higher rules take precedence. So the bottom rule hides everything, the next rule shows whatever you except and colors it whatever you choose

And maintains everything you don't choose to show as hidden, because of the first rule

[sick rampart]

ah cool, ty

[grand harbor]

is this item any good, and can switch to like a plague build or something?

currently playingl ich

[fading wharf]

havent seen any plague builds ggoing around

[surreal verge]

Plague has a limit of one stack and poison's power level right now is... mid.

The item itself is decent.

[fading wharf]

aka, dont do it to yourself building it

[grand harbor]

haha okok ty for info

[fading wharf]

frost claw is really fun tho

easy 500+ cooruption

[wide sentinel]

fun or unbalanced or both?

[south wigeon]

hi guys, im running SD Bladedancer, level 24 now, in what order do I take the nodes on umbral blades? i took already shadow dagger on hit. loathing, ubral remnant or twiligh assault now?

[surreal verge]

Bladestorm then explosives if you're running them

[scenic sparrow]

i dont think you want explosives when the blades itself deal dmg and keep stacking the SD ?

[south wigeon]

and smoke bomb? in a guide I saw smoke blades at 5/5 - wouldnt it be better to get it at 1/5 and umbral assault at 4/4 for extra shadows?

[scenic sparrow]

whats the difference for ignite between "increased % elemental damage% and "Increased % elemental damage over time" ?

[young veldt]

both of them increase the damage of ignite, but elemental damage over time has higher values per affix level

[surreal verge]

Bladestorm 1 tick+ explosion stacks SD faster than bladestorm ticking twice.

Explosion is better on bosses/immobile targets

[cunning hamlet]

does anybody has knowledge about a rogue minion build that is decent?

[desert tree]

I know about 1 ballista dex stacking build

[knotty tinsel]

dragonflame's edict bees

[unreal hinge]

I want to prepare a rogue for falconer and im kinda stuck at level 20. Cant progress the campaign without choosing a mastery and monoliths are still too hard. Is there any way to progress the campaign without choosing a mastery?

[surreal verge]

If you're in online you can get someone to teleport you to the next main quest

Otherwise:You're outta luck

[unreal hinge]

Thanks! I guess im gonna try to grind out the monolith until the trash mobs dont feel like bosses anymore

[faint cape]

You can always run something like umbral blades SD, should be fine for getting your foot in the door in monos

[unreal hinge]

Thanks, im gonna try SD! My firestarters torch is only tickling the mono enemies

[faint cape]

Yeah, spreading flames deletes everything up to level 20, but it drops off hard

[serene urchin]

Hi guys in some demo videos i saw mage has 2 stack of Flame Ward. How do you get that ?

[dense root]

do you mean two charges?

[surreal verge]

Might be what you meant

[serene urchin]

Thanks thats what i meant

[dense root]

you can also get +1 charge on body armor

it's one of the mage prefixes

a lot of people seal it at t1 since most of the utility comes from the part which doesn't scale with tier

[south wigeon]

Guys, why SD Bladedancer doesnt take the Umbral Assault node in Smoke bomb? I saw 2 guides not taking it 🤔

🤔

[native sail]

Guides are not gospel, especially maxroll. They are not optimized fully.

[south wigeon]

Do you think this shadow creation node is good then?

[native sail]

It can be. I personally prefer using it.

[knotty tinsel]

I personally don't in the slightest, so let that be proof to play however you prefer

[native sail]

Yep, some things just come down to preference.

[solar shore]

is this build beginner friendly? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dIxBirthnY&ab_channel=GringoGaming

[desert tree]

I personally do not recommend Gringo Gaming

[solar shore]

ah ok

[desert tree]

I would point you toward Dreadful, Perry the Pig or anyone from Maxroll.gg

[solar shore]

cause i still dk what to build on lich

[desert tree]

Aaron Action Rpg is also a good place to start imo

[solar shore]

alright

[desert tree]

Is this your first character?

[solar shore]

yea

just bought the game yesterday

[desert tree]

I would recommend you to try smth by yourself

[solar shore]

wdym by that

[pastel pebble]

What's up with Gringo Gaming?

[desert tree]

Go blind go wild and free

[pastel pebble]

Is this the broken bug build?

[sinful laurel]

This game is really good at letting you fuck around and find out

[solar shore]

alright

[sinful laurel]

The only thing you can't change is your mastery choice

[desert tree]

Make mistake, you can easily respect

[solar shore]

i see but can i unlearn points in my passive tree?

[desert tree]

Yep

You need a npc and a small gold fee

[solar shore]

oh alright

[sinful laurel]

A bunch of us lurk around here to offer advices, but you really can do well going forth on your own and trying things

[desert tree]

Try by yourself, make mistakes come back here or in #💀┃acolyte. Smbd will help you fix them

[solar shore]

ok

[desert tree]

Oh! I was going to tell him that in private... I guess it's out there now

[dense root]

assuming this is all true i don’t see why you would need to say it in private

[dusky kite]

weird I caught myself thinking that the above description slightly adjusted for the specifics of any given game fits a few hundreds youtubers I've seen

apparently just stealing others' shit is quite popular these days

and lying to your viewers

The only type of youtuber that's more hilarious is the full loot PVP MMO guide maker who intentionally baits viewers to die in dangerous zones

often to his own ganking buddies

[desert tree]

1. We are in public, I don't know who is going to read and what their reaction is going to be.
2. I am not a big fan of starting any kind of "drama".

[dusky kite]

pfft, if the allegations are true then public exposure of a fraudlent "content creator" who also produces bad content is a net benefit to the community

[desert tree]

3. He doesn't appear to be on the Discord to defend himself

[dusky kite]

and life would be too bland without some drama in a safe internet space where nobody can punch you through a monitor

[humble cargo]

Yeah this most certainly isn't asking the community. Let's not levy accusations like this against people who aren't here - thank you!

[wicked plover]

any advice on farming burning avarice? been spamming t2 today since it got extra gloves but no luck

[desert tree]

I think you are doing the best thing

[faint cape]

You can wait for when a better tier has glove day, too

[wicked plover]

but that would only increase lp chances right? cause every unique glove i got so far was above ilvl of avarice
im okay with 0 lp, i first wanna know if it's even worth for my build

[dense root]

i've always assumed you were more likely to get the uniques at higher tiers but i guess i don't know that

either way higher tiers have better door modifiers

at t2 it's 2 extra gloves a run but at t4 it's 4 extra gloves a run

(assuming it's glove day of course)

so that alone would make it more likely

[wicked plover]

door modifiers is a fair point, i was quite happy with t2, i regularly get first item chance to be unique and extar chance for lp

[surreal verge]

Yeah Tier doesn't affect gambler unique chances.

Only boss drop chances

[wicked plover]

no shot i just got ravenous void from that xD

[hearty pier]

is this node bugged? it says that aura should drain 6 mana per sec as downside but tooltip still says 0 and it's still the case

[solar shore]

can u remove prefixes on a gear?

or like reroll it

[hearty pier]

yes with glyphs and rune u can

[solar shore]

is it affix?

cause i dont see anything abt prefixes

[hearty pier]

yes it is

[solar shore]

ah alright

[hearty pier]

just common name for both two

[solar shore]

and is there a way to increase forging potenttial?

[hearty pier]

nope afaik

[solar shore]

oh alright

[candid elm]

Affix = prefix / suffix

[solar shore]

ah i see

[native sail]

No and there never will be

[candid elm]

There's Rune of Removal, which randomly removes one affix and gives you that tier number of shards of that affix. Like if it removes a T5, you get 5 shards.

[surreal verge]

The mana cost in the tooltip only lists cast cost, not drain so

[hearty pier]

its not drained either

[surreal verge]

AoD needs it anyway-
Report it

Wait

[candid elm]

For reroll there's Glyph of Chaos. It works when you upgrade an Affix - it randomly picks another. But being upgrade only, you can only use it on T1-T4

[surreal verge]

Did you RECAST it yet?

[hearty pier]

yes

even relogged

[surreal verge]

Then report it.

(AoD needs help anyway)

[solar shore]

if i were to remove an affix i can add another one right

[surreal verge]

Yes, assuming you still have FP

[candid elm]

Yes. As long as there's Forging Potential left

[surreal verge]

Items always have their 4 slots

[candid elm]

You can also use Glyph of Hope with Removal - 25% chance to make it cost no FP

[solar shore]

alright

[faint cape]

It won't show in tooltip, mana drain is not a stat there. Your base mana regen is 8, which is higher than the drain of 6, so you won't see anything just sitting at full.

Try eating up a bunch of your mana, watch it start regening, then turn on or off AoD and see if the rate changes

[surreal verge]

Wait is AoD's drain constant instead of "Lose 6 on tick"'

[faint cape]

It says mana per second, so it shouldn't be related to the tick rate

[hearty pier]

oh yeah it changes

[fathom jetty]

The devs said the release date would be revealed shortly, do we know when ?

[native sail]

#news message

[fathom jetty]

My bad, now I know where to look. Sorry for the re-re-reposting

[native sail]

All good, anything of note will always be posted there so always good to keep an eye on it

[surreal verge]

Then it's' working

[faint cape]

Questions is what this channel is for, no need to apologize

[native sail]

(that specific link I posted goes directly to the launch date if you didn't notice)

[south wigeon]

guys, what is the best starter build to farm gear for alts? first character? doesnt matter what I like, just something easy and efficient with no equipment?

[void plover]

if i understand it correctly, cycles are the same as poe leagues right? do we know the first one is going to be here?

[native sail]

You are correct in what they are and as far as we know the first will be at or shortly after 1.0

[desert tree]

Thorn totem spriggan form shaman, maybe?

[void plover]

i see, ty!

[sinful laurel]

Jack I feel like you have asked the same question multiple times

Just try something out that you think you will like 🙂

[south wigeon]

might be the case, but I feel I did not get a definitive answer

I do not want to try. I want to dominate.

[sinful laurel]

You did. SD bladedancer

[south wigeon]

try later on on different specs lol

[south wigeon]

😄

[south wigeon]

I thought it was just a good spec, not META or ssf or something but cool! I will continue with her then

[sinful laurel]

Can literally do 800 corr naked. Can easily farm in all yellows

We had this exact convo yesterday lol

[south wigeon]

I must be doing something wrong as I feel squishy sometimes at clvl 43

[sinful laurel]

You aren't building defenses most likely

[south wigeon]

if I post a calc can u oiffer some critique?

[sinful laurel]

We all can yeah. I'm mobile so hard to look but there are other people here too that are very good

[unreal hinge]

I tend to get cold every time I do this

[sinful laurel]

Play cinder strike

[unreal hinge]

I never noticed that Cinder strikes first attack was even bugged and I did level with it

[native sail]

I didn't notice but that makes so much more sense now

[south wigeon]

Are Crimson Storm and Razor strikes any useful for the SD Bladedancer? or these points are better spent elsewhere?

[surreal verge]

Not really.

[south wigeon]

and the chance to shred physical res from Razor? 100% is any good?

[native sail]

Phys shred is nice to have since SD only does phys damage

[cunning hamlet]

how do i uprade gear with LP to a legendary?

do i have to finish the storyline first?

[native sail]

Nope, lemme grab you the link

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

Give that a quick read

[cunning hamlet]

k

ok and where is this dungeon located?

how to enter echoes?

i have not finished the storyline yet but im lvl 70

[native sail]

Dungeon is located pretty soon after you jump off the boat with Alric, should have a side quest in Maj'elka to go find it. Echoes are located to the right from the End of Time spawn

[surreal verge]

End of time, exit right

[native sail]

(How did you get to level 70 without completing the campaign, it ends at like mid-50s)

[toxic anvil]

Can I see drop chances for dungeon specific drops? (Like rolling random items too from the vendor)

[surreal verge]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/dungeons/soulfire-bastion/tier4/boss-items

[surreal verge]

(Soul gambler odds not listed, doesn't exist?)

[cunning hamlet]

someone was so kind and took me with him a while

[native sail]

Ahh

[cunning hamlet]

but to be fair i played to lvl 42 or so on my own

i heard you can level items how does that work?

[native sail]

Fair, fair

[native sail]

Uh... now sure what you mean

[cunning hamlet]

someone wrote this in the global chat but i was unsure was he/she meant....

[native sail]

If you mean Weaver's Will those are very specific items. Other than that I think you mean "leveling items" which are legendary items made on low level uniques to have high power uniques used for boosting new character speed dramatically

[cunning hamlet]

weavers will ?

[native sail]

Weaver's Will are a subset of unique items that gain affixes/affix tiers as you use them (up to a predetermined amount)

[fervent tinsel]

Hey ya'll, I'm having an issue with playing rune master and also to some extent other classes where it's like flame rush locks you into place. It looks super laggy. Anybody know if this is something they looking to fix? This is seriously screwing with my chances to fight lagon :c

[cunning hamlet]

oh there is xp farm gear in the game? can i buy that or do i have to find it

[native sail]

All items have to be found atm, no trade yet

[cunning hamlet]

k

[desert tree]

It's not really xp, you have 1% chance on kill to get an new/upgraded affix with a 15 sec cd

Numbers might by a bit off, I can't find the source anymore

[desert tree]

Make sure you are not tapping you key too fast. And yes they are trying to fix it. Some maps have problems with the floor and kinda block you movement skills

[fervent tinsel]

It does bug out on quick tab alot because then it forces you to keep going til you again tap button, but thats not what I meant. It feels like it happens if I use the spell rotations in very quick order. It's like it's piling up a backlog of code and then suddenly Im stuck.

[dusky kite]

"Help" is putting it mildly.

[scenic sparrow]

If Warpath is Fire damage and its meelee attack.
Volcanus unique gives : 7% of fire damage leeched as life

Does x% of Melee damage leeched as life counts towards fire Warpath when its melee attack with fire attribute ??

[native sail]

Sure, it's still melee

[scenic sparrow]

cool, its so consistent with the tags, i simply have to ask ! thank you

the tags , and tooltips are so clear, its getting me confused 😄 i love it , at the same time hate it how clear it is that i have to doubt it ! 😄

[dusky kite]

well it's not as clear as it could be, but most of the tooltips are reasonably clear and most skills work as expected from the tooltips

still not like mtg levels of clarity

but not particularly esoteric

[faint cape]

Yep, tags always just narrow things down. No qualifiers means it works for everything, but "melee poison" works for almost nothing.

Though, I guess that is a little fuzzier of a line when it comes to added effects

[pine trail]

Rubber banding is SOOO much fun!

[south wigeon]

guys, for this Shadow Dagga Bladedancer should I follow any particular timeline for a specific Unique item?

🤔

[shy cairn]

is there a way to check how many kills/xp do i need to get the next upgrade on an item with weaver's will?

[icy drift]

no, it's not based on xp.

[shy cairn]

and is there a hotkey to see how much xp it needs for another "level up"? is it based on ilvl maybe>?

[buoyant sinew]

it's not deterministic so there's no way to see this. It just has a small chance to level up every time you kill an enemy

[faint cape]

No, just blast your way to empowered

[icy drift]

you could look up how much xp you need for each level and look in the top left of the character sheet i guess, but why not just look at the bar below your skills? is there something you need to see exact xp for?

[desert tree]

I think they were talking about WW

[icy drift]

oh, yeah you're right. Thought they switched to actual levels since i had already said that ww's aren't based on xp

mb

[desert tree]

They need to add WW in the game guide

[icy drift]

they need a lot of things in the game guide tbh

[south wigeon]

wings of argeentus is BiS for SD Blade danca or maybe a good yellow or purple?

[faint cape]

Just focus on getting a good rare body armor, or purple if you happen to get one before yellow

[dense root]

wings is not bis

especially since you're going to never see an lp wings

[faint cape]

BiS in this game comes with stipulations - is it possible that a 4LP wings is BiS? idk maybe, or maybe another 4LP unique will beat it, but that item just won't exist lol

[dense root]

i suspect 4lp exsang would still be better

but really just don't use wings

[pastel pebble]

A 4LP Wings would be a killer BiS for a lot of builds

But that's only farmable post-coming of Christ

[faint cape]

Yeah probably, though swapping to low life is a different build

[dense root]

don't we currently live post coming of christ

like isn't that why our years are numbered as they are

[dense root]

kind of? like it's just your defenses so all your skills can stay specced the same if you actually want them to

like shadow daggers doesn't make the most of low life but you could

[pastel pebble]

This is a section of great debate

I'm speakibg of the end times which may or may not be metaphorical and allegorical and lots of other oricals

[dense root]

yeah i know

i'm being annoying

[pastel pebble]

Ik

I like answering anyways

[faint cape]

Yeah, kinda is fair. I guess I just mean, in a vacuum, since you'd have to swap other gear pieces for exsang to be effective

[pastel pebble]

Fuckin' love me some theology

[dense root]

ok nerd

[pastel pebble]

I'll be Socrates decrying EHG for not making the gods unmoving divine entities fulfilled and unneeding

[dense root]

tbf the player character has been doing a pretty good job of making the gods unmoving

[native sail]

I use CE

[dense root]

sure most people do but the numbers are still what they are for religious reasons

switching to ce doesn't change why we picked the 0 we did

[native sail]

I know, but I can't change that part

[dense root]

i believe in you

you can do it

[pastel pebble]

Wild how they all knew how to count down to 0 before it even happened

[faint cape]

Now we're discussing epochs?

[south wigeon]

SD Bladedancer can use 2 x sword? or must it be sword and dagger?

[faint cape]

Depends on the skill, UB requires a dagger for SD

[south wigeon]

rigt, damn it 😉

[native sail]

If only we could sword/sword for UB SD

[unreal hinge]

@faint cape UB SD did the trick! level 20 with crap gear and I could do monos easily and am now almost lvl 40, thanks again!

[faint cape]

Awesome! SD strikes again lol

[south wigeon]

can u pls share your build ?

[unreal hinge]

I had no build, I just skilled UB with the SD node and the Explosion Node. There was no build or thought behind it, just SD carnage

[south wigeon]

could u just paste a printscreen of your UB?

Im using bladestorm atm

so u took the 3 nodes i guess

[native sail]

(You take both)

[faint cape]

I recommend taking that first one at a minimum, getting to target where your blades land is mega nice

but yeah explody is better single target in the end

like Deias said

[south wigeon]

Perfecto 😄

Cheers!

[copper prairie]

hey guys, is shuriken shield fixxed or not yet ?

It is yes

thx

[balmy oriole]

Is there any way to play on an older patch? offline is fine

[native sail]

I don't think so?

[faint cape]

No

[desert tree]

How does %mana efficiency work? Is it the same as %mana cost reduction?

[faint cape]

No, it's more like % cooldown recovery speed; 100% efficiency halves the cost

it is multiplicative with % reductions, if you have any, and applies after +/-

[desert tree]

Does you happen to have the formula?

[minor fossil]

someone for boost here my new char >

[balmy oriole]

Should be: New Mana Cost = Old Mana Cost x 100/(100+Mana Efficiency)

same for CDR Efficiency

[desert tree]

#👥┃lfg

[pine trail]

Woohoo, my first shade boss.....ty, ty very much!

[wide sentinel]

Im curious how do u even boost character in le

U still need to do campaign and unlock empowered monos

And not like people can help with that much

[native sail]

You can carry people to empowered, they just need to go back and do side quests later for passives and idols. They get a shit ton of exp just folllowing you in monos

[safe harness]

The % increased exp from corruption sorta allows for boosting

It’s just low level characters usually get one shot

[native sail]

Yeah, just keep them outta danger somehow

[desert tree]

You can stay at the beginning of the echo and still get exp

[native sail]

It's only about two screen range for exp I though

[desert tree]

I could have swear you didnt need to move but I have done it only once so I am not sure

[dense root]

you can level people super fast at high corruption yeah

[lofty inlet]

seems like after last patch i got automatically assigned to US central server (probably because it is the first on the list).

[desert tree]

Same

[pine trail]

So I'm still learning the tree stuff. Marrow blades cast gve minions a 4s attack damage increase, so everytime I cast transplant that gets proc'd? If I'm understanding it correctly

[desert tree]

I caught it on time and went to EU West straight away

[desert tree]

Do you mind sending a screenshot of the node ?

[pine trail]

nah, 1 sec

Thats nice considering I have a staff at 85 that gives transplant perks plus I just got Stymied Fate boots which is a reduced cooldown

So I can transport like a mad man, kinda sorta lol

Get them minons riled up!

[desert tree]

I am not sure it stacks

[icy snow]

Hey fellas i think flurry multishot is still bugged, is there anyone else feeling same ?

[pine trail]

Right but with the coldown and it only being 4s thats about how long my transplant timer is

almost 100% uptime sorta

[desert tree]

They are talking about that in https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/414295382625878037

[icy snow]

oh ty

[pine trail]

74 now on my necro. Mostly good, just need gear

[haughty compass]

man is t4 dungeon loot random and we are getting unlucky or do they make good days rarer?

[dense root]

random

[native sail]

Do you mean the daily modifier? That's on a set rotation, you can check it online

[zealous yew]

Does anyone know if they've fixed Shurikens yet??

[native sail]

They did

[blazing gorge]

Am I the only one the latest patch messed with my key configuration big time ? It's in qwerty now and move to attack enemy with melee doesn't work anymore...

[covert ore]

i swear ailment stacks aren't working right

I had 18 bleed stacks on a mob which where ticking for 343 dmg every second

per the game guide, that should be 318 per second (without any dmg buffs)

I have 188% increased DoT, and 182% increased physical

that should be 318 * (1 + 1.88 + 1.82) == 1494 per sec

i guess mob phys resists are at play... but that would have to be 79% phys resists

this making sense to anyone?

I get 80+ bleed stacks on bosses (this is during campaign, so not even monoliths) and the dmg seems mediocre for the bleed ticks

[safe harness]

your math is wrong

its 188+182 = 370

[covert ore]

+1

you have to put the +1 in

[safe harness]

then 318 * (1 + 3.70)

[covert ore]

yep

[safe harness]

oh

thats the same

lmao

[covert ore]

i probably need to go to a training dummy rather than try and reverse engineer it from mob ticks

[safe harness]

there is damage reduction with zone level

[covert ore]

really?

[safe harness]

yup

[covert ore]

area lvl 30

actually was prolly 28 or 29 at the time

I'm 2 zones farther in the campaign now

i knew there was increased penetration by the mobs on you

but was unaware of flat DR by zone lvl

[native sail]

Bleed doesn't tick once per second

It ticks multiple times over one second

[faint cape]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/mobdr

[safe harness]

87% at 100

sheesh

[covert ore]

ok so DR is a factor -- this multiple ticks per second tho

what we looking at here, 2x per second?

1.5x?

[native sail]

It's kinda... janky. Each stack has an individual timer and they get totaled together for whichever ones are ticking, hence why bleed doesn't fall off all at once.

[covert ore]

ok that makes sense

kind of

seems overly complicated

you'd think it'd all be quantized to the nearest 0.25 second or something

[native sail]

To my knowledge it is a base of 53 over three seconds, or 17.6 per second per stack

[covert ore]

yep

[native sail]

Add in scaling and it gets uh... funky. Cuz ailments recieve any generic scaling from your applying skill.

Which includes attributes.

Basically there's a lot more math to it than it seems

[covert ore]

seems like it

I managed to get about 90 stacks on Admiral Harton for 1500 per tick... then I died because I was so busy staring at bleed stacks and ticks

in the campaign no less... I'm a fail

[faint cape]

Yes, damage numbers pop up twice per second for DOTs

so that would mean usually you'll see half the DPS per number pop

(but not always, due to the tick rates lining up differently)

[covert ore]

wonder if there'll be plugin support at some point... LUA or otherwise... then we can write a dmg meter

[faint cape]

They intentionally don't want super accurate dps measurement

[ashen meadow]

Are mastery skills like Werebear unlocked as soon as you unlock that mastery class? (in this example would be Druid) ??

[faint cape]

Yes

[faint cape]

And also to answer the plugin thing. In online mode, it's safe to say never for anything that's not like yolomouse or something. Offline mode, they can't and won't enforce anything like that.

[ashen meadow]

Thank you for the quick reply. I thought Wear Bear would be like the capstone of the Druid though not the first thing unlocked lol.

[faint cape]

Heh yeah, the positioning is a little odd

[icy drift]

my chat wasn't scrolled down :p

[faint cape]

Reminds me of one time on vent when one guy hadn't said anything in a while, then suddenly everything he said happened all at once

[novel loom]

Hi y'all, possibly dumb question for you that I've not seen asked anywhere before: how do things that trigger based on skill mana costs interact with channeled skills? For example, I have a Marksman and take the Ethereal Arrows passive, which gives mana cost->increased damage conversion: how does it affect Flurry if I take the skill node that makes Flurry a channel?

[faint cape]

No dumb questions. I think in the case of flurry, it takes the 'startup' mana cost.

[novel loom]

Perfect, thanks. I have a mana cost on the channel of 13/s, which kind of seems like what it's using as the multiplier for Ethereal Arrows. Hard to tell with all the numbers on the screen!

[serene urchin]

hi, can i somehow sort items that drop on ground ?

[grand harbor]

any good items in here?, which can maybe make a build

[safe harness]

The boots at the bottom

[surreal verge]

Er loot filter?

[serene urchin]

i want them to sort into 1 column or something, i can't see all of them in 1 screen

[surreal verge]

Oh errr... nope.

Maybe a #1123698164503949392 ?

[serene urchin]

thanks for answer anyway

[carmine coyote]

Stairway to heaven

[winter pine]

Hey guys. I have 2 characters that when i try to login with them, i get a "Lost connection" error, like they are stuck in limbo or something. Other chars work fine. Anyone tried this before?

[surreal verge]

If you''re offline, they MIGHt be bugged

[winter pine]

Its online :S

This is the error

[surreal verge]

Did you try verifying?

If you did and it's still like that a bug report might be in order

[jaunty solstice]

Do skeletal mages cast my version of sacrifice or just the level 0 variant? Bc they do not seem to summon crimson horrors although I got that skill node

[winter pine]

Verify in steam?

[desert tree]

Not yours,

[surreal verge]

Yes

[surreal verge]

Theirs.

[winter pine]

Havent tried no, i have the same error on two different pc´s, but i can try when i get home. Kinda doubt though xD

[surreal verge]

Who knows,it’s the default troubleshooting, but yet otherwise report it

[balmy oriole]

Does Spell Critical Strike Chance work on the Melee Hit of Judgement since the skill has both a Melee and a Spell tag?

[surreal verge]

No

(Also the spell part of judgement is a DoT)

[dusky kite]

prism wraps is fairly good even at 0 lp, calamity can be niche used in ignite builds at reasonable lp (2+)

[dusky kite]

you can turn item names on and off to soft-reset the positioning after you cleared up at least some of the loot

[fresh harbor]

anyone has problems with connecting to servers? (EU) since the Update i am unable to play. Is this known or is there a workaround?

[icy drift]

as you pick stuff up you can refresh your filter and it'll bring everything back together

[solar shore]

can i reroll the spirit plague?

like reroll it to a different skill

[dense root]

you can chaos it into a random affix

which might be a skill

but you can't like pick a skill and then always get that or anything

[solar shore]

chaos orb?

lol

alright

so i cant just change the skill

[dense root]

glyph of chaos

[surreal verge]

Nope

[solar shore]

i cant just use glyphs?

[surreal verge]

Glyphs are chance modifers or RNG

Chaos gives you a random affix

It doesn’t care what the affix was

[solar shore]

can i not just use chaos?

[surreal verge]

(Well it does care if its a prefix or suffix)

[surreal verge]

You will get a random prefix,which can be a non-skill affix

[solar shore]

but when i choose glyph of chaos i cant use it?

[dusky kite]

I'm not sure what your question is because there is not "just Chaos" in LE

[surreal verge]

No as in if you do it you will most likely turn it into something else

That isn’t a skill affix

[dusky kite]

you upgrade your affixes level with glyph of chaos as a modifier

glyphs are not runes that are used in isolation

[solar shore]

but i want to reroll the prefix

not upgrade

[dusky kite]

it modifies an upgrade roll on an affix

you can't do that in LE

[solar shore]

oh

[dusky kite]

you can only upgrade+reroll

with the glyph of chaos

so yes if you don't have another shard of spirit plague to upgrade this with, you are also out of luck

[solar shore]

ah i see

[cunning hamlet]

is someone there who can help me solve an issue with my game? i need an invite from a player and skip one teleport so i can continue playing the game!? please respond i need help here!!!!

[desert tree]

Yep

@cunning hamlet Are you here ?

Oh well

[cunning hamlet]

yeah

someone was so kind an gave me an invite to solve the issue

but honestly as i sad if they dont fix this then LE will have big issues in the future imagine making a new character and after 20 mins you cant continue playing the game....

which is the eaerliest level someone can enter an echo? 20?

[native sail]

The earliest is whatever level you are when you get to End of Time

[cunning hamlet]

if someone else invites me to a game and starts an echo can i join this with any level?

[surreal verge]

You’ll most likely die very quickly,but yes

[cosmic pivot]

guys, I need the ribbons of blood ring, but I got the armor instead. the wiki says you can only get one dropped ( so you either always get the armor or always get the ring )

is there any way to get the ring now without runes?

[native sail]

You can't get it with runes, go kill the boss again

[cosmic pivot]

wiki says I cant get it anymore

or am i stupid

[native sail]

Fandom wiki?
Don't touch that

[cosmic pivot]

its maxroll.gg

so you say that info is foul?

[native sail]

You can absolutely get it, go kill the boss again. It's literally a coin flip.

Can you chuck me the link so I can see what you're misreading

[cosmic pivot]

Imma try. I believed it cause I failed the 50/50 6 times now

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/monolith/abomination-fall-of-the-outcasts-boss-guide

[native sail]

Yeah it's just saying that per drop you can only get one or the other, not both at the same time.

[cosmic pivot]

okay. thanks my man. guess i just got extremly unlucky

[native sail]

Happens

[heavy citrus]

is it possible to change your username?

[native sail]

I think yes if you talk to support

[heavy citrus]

thanks!

[solar shore]

for my skills on lich will it scale better off on 8% necro dmg or 54% spell dmg the skills take both

i assume the spell dmg will stack with the other necro dmg i have right

[surreal verge]

They are addictive if they're "increased".
Take the bigger number.

[native sail]

Any applicable "increased' modifiers are bundled into one total amount, neither has any higher "effectiveness" it's purely whatever is higher percentage.

[solar shore]

ah i see

[void remnant]

confused about this; they are identical except for the tiny icon, same gear application and scaling type

[balmy current]

Is one class-specific?

[void remnant]

not according to the item info when you hover over it

but perhaps behind the scenes somewhere

[wide sentinel]

ye one of them is class specific affix

actually isnt it only class specific affix, weird that there are 2

[cosmic pivot]

missed the 50/50 12 times now something is not right

[balmy current]

Improbable is not impossible.

[native sail]

^

It's completely normal, I have seen it happen before and have experienced it myself

[cosmic pivot]

jesus

this game actually hates me :,)

[heavy citrus]

why does it feel like going from level 19 to 20 for a skill takes ages? it feels like they're not getting any xp

[cosmic pivot]

the last levels take ages yes

[wide sentinel]

just wait for 20+boss kills and 0 blessings that u need

[native sail]

It is somewhat level gated

[cosmic pivot]

XD

I mean I got the blessing I wanted

at least something

[surreal verge]

One is mage only one is sentinel only

[native sail]

That should probably be in feedback, they usually combine identical class specific

[steel merlin]

Look at required level

[knotty tinsel]

yeah, so make them the same required level

literally no one pays attention to those anyway

[balmy current]

That's just the level required to drop them, not level required to use them.

[dense root]

nah fuck sentinel it deserves to have arbitrarily higher level requirements for the same drop

[fading wharf]

When is the bonus from "Penetration from xxx invocation" active

when you have the activited bonus active or when your holding them?

[viral parcel]

i know first playthrough should be blind'

but is going dual wield worth on druid

[pastel pebble]

Yeah

[viral parcel]

im wondering cause i got a cool unique

taste of blood

[native sail]

Oh based axe. I used it for something on a completely different class, but based axe.

[viral parcel]

i mean

does it work on werebear

[native sail]

If you're playing bleed, sure, it could. I don't personally know if bleed werebear is a thing but can't hurt to try

[viral parcel]

i accidently went into bleed

lmao

oh i got a really good roll

[hushed rain]

Anyone can tell me if there is any kind of bonus (xp or increase drops rate) for playing in party with someone ?

[jaunty solstice]

That is super weird. Since dash of rogue used the corresponding skills I thought minions would behave the same way...

But thank you!

[surreal verge]

Minions are always exceptions.

[jaunty solstice]

Sad times. At least releveling skills is forgiving

Hm are servers wonky rn or is it me?

[muted tangle]

Question, can I transfer my Character found guy to Regular online?

[balmy current]

Yes

[limpid sequoia]

33% 95 times was my worst kekekeke I'm still salty about it

[faint cape]

The bonus is friendship. Also it effectively makes the game easier. So, kinda like an indirect bonus to xp/drops/etc.

[onyx oxide]

is there any gain in picking up blue items ?

The game showers you with yellows

[dense root]

for the most part no

[onyx oxide]

seems weird to even have blue items then

[dense root]

they do have some uses

especially early on

[faint cape]

They can still be really good crafting bases in the early game. Later on, they are still good to salvage for rare affixes.

[onyx oxide]

mmh okay

[hoary widget]

any options to change the cursor? Just now noticing after 1000 hours since buying around 8.1 and playing D4 for a while that the cursor is hard to see sometimes

[faint cape]

I don't think there's a built-in way to do it, but it is allowed using something like YoloMouse

[hushed rain]

Thx for the reply

[faint cape]

And just to clarify, each of you gets your own completely separate drops that are the same you would've gotten had you run separately. You can't see what drops for party members and they can't see what drops for you. In case that's what you were worried about.

[dusky ridge]

how to respec passive?

[topaz panther]

Is there any way to reset your saves, I want to get a new league experience

[dense root]

if you play offline it's possible to just delete the files

online no

[hushed rain]

I am not worried of anything, i know how arpg work....i just see no reason for me to play with any of my friends if drop rates stay the same. I wanna make friends in LE but how ? Random invites in town and hope someone will be on the same "note" as me ? ... sorry for the offense...

[faint cape]

Well, like I said, it's mainly for the fun of playing with others, but it is still absolutely the most efficient way to farm since it makes the game easier. There's #👥┃lfg here and the voice channels for meeting people, and probably some 3rd party groups/Discords to find, if that's what you're looking for.

It's also not the way all, if any, ARPGs work, so I'm not sure I understand your comment.

[desert tree]

If you have not done "Account Found" yet, this will be like a new league experience. But you can't party

[topaz panther]

Sadly I have but I'm fine deleting the offline files and doing it that way

[formal herald]

Am able to log into online characters but when i try to port to a different zone I receive a LE-77 client version out of date error. Exited game, there was an update and installed it. Unfortunately same error, and then tried restarting steam but still same error. Anyone know of another potential fix?

[zealous yew]

I'm having the same issue Muffin

[formal herald]

didnt read news, most likely an issue with recent update

[wide sentinel]

even tho drop rates the same, you get way more loot since each player has its own loot so in some sense its way more profitable than in games like poe

just play 4x same class

and share loot

i didnt even mention things like boss/dungeon drops that are also get multiplied since each player gets own loot

[viral parcel]

How does bleed scale

I can only manage to get 4 stacks at once

Is it because of my legendary

[native sail]

So, bleed at base is 53 physical damage over three seconds, or 17.6 physical damage per second.
Your chance to apply scales past 100%, every total 100% is one guaranteed stack of bleed (so say 412% = 4 stacks + 12% chance for a 5th per hit).
You scale bleed with physical damage and damage over time, and the applying skill's generic increased and more modifiers in its tree also get carried to the bleed stacks it creates.
Taste of Blood also causes bleed stacks to double in speed on hit, which makes them finish a lot quicker (but makes sustaining them harder if you need to do that)

[viral parcel]

Oh hmm

If I use 2 taste of bloods

Is it 4x faster

[native sail]

I think so? Sometimes unique affixes get a little weird.

It does stack per hit iirc so if you hit them twice then the stacks that were doubled are now quadrupled

[viral parcel]

So I can basically just have more damage

Probably better to scale physical damage

[native sail]

Scale attack speed, phys + DoT damage, and chance to bleed on hit I'd say

[viral parcel]

Is it a bit meta that I want to start already planning my build to be endgame ready with only 6 idol slots

[native sail]

Bleed is a bit off-meta but playable usually

[viral parcel]

Idk where I am in the game

As it’s a bit confusing

I’ve gone through time like 6 times

[native sail]

Yea that happens

[toxic hawk]

What type of builds are meta right now? Melee? Casters? Mknions?

[native sail]

Some of each, actually

[jovial wharf]

When I logged back in just now, my character was missing an item. Can anything be done about that, or do I just suck it up and find a new one?

[toxic hawk]

You can level a brand new character with me and we will find a new one

Only the one we find together will be better

[jovial wharf]

This is maybe less comforting than you were hoping for.

[toxic hawk]

It will have the rare suffix "of friendship"

[faint cape]

Yes, officer, this one right here

[regal narwhal]

I have looked up some Builds for Mages and I have seen that mostly nobody is picking Elementalist but why?

Isn't it good to have per allocated point 7% more elemental damage or is this because of specialisation for one element?

[grand harbor]

class with the most variety of possible builds?

[surreal verge]

The nodes they connect too are specific and there's more important nodes for Base Mage (Arcanist for Int stacking and resist, Mage Flurry is free cast speed and potential CDR, the whole ward line.)

[surreal verge]

Were you a dual wielding spellblade? If you were, make a report.

[fading wharf]

When is the bonus from "Penetration from xxx invocation" active

[viral parcel]

how do i change my loot filter

[sterile widget]

Loot filter can be changed and edited in filter UI (found by pressing shift+F

[faint cape]

Probably druid

[faint cape]

Are you asking about stuff like Cold Penetration with Cold Invocations? It is always active for your invocations that have the specified tag.

[warped cloak]

Mage or Primalist I think

[whole quartz]

My game crashed during an echo. When I relogged my offline runemaster had disappeared from my character screen. Is there a way to recover it or is it lost forever?

[desert tree]

Steam save cloud

You should be able to dwl your saves

[young condor]

So LE is quite enjoyable. Though one question on my mind is how easy is it to mess up building a character blindly? Is it like PoE where the character has the potential of being completely bricked?

[surreal verge]

You can freely change your passives at a small cost, and change your skill specs at the cost of releveling them

The only perma things are “base class and chosen subclass”

It’s very “fuck around and find out” friendly

[young condor]

and releveling skill specs aren't overly time consuming?

[surreal verge]

Once you get to end game it takes like 5 minutes. Early game it wouldn’t matter as you lose close to nothing. A bit iffy at midgame but recoverable

[young condor]

Perfect

Now if it would stop requiring 5+ launches from steam for LE to actually run

[analog stag]

I just did an empowered monolith and it just kept my normal blessing from before???

[desert tree]

Did you kill the boss?
Did you select a blessing?
Did you clic replace and not keep current?

[analog stag]

I killed the boss and selected the new blessing I wanted. I dont think I clicked keep current

[desert tree]

I am not saying there is no bug, but I think you miss clicked. You are the 1st to mention it anyway

[steel merlin]

did you check if it was in the forge?

[hidden atlas]

why Enchant Weapon’s Kindling Blade node is not working ?

[desert tree]

It's bugged

[desert tree]

@unreal hinge I am moving it here to not spam the dev channel.
Ballistae should get the increase fire dmg and the "regular" pen. But should not benefit from the doubled pen for ignite dealt by Cinder Strike

If you have oil coating when you summon them

[unreal hinge]

Thanks for the answer! Im gonna try to test this later today! The fire pen will probably be hard to see though since its only 15ish % for the ballistas if it works correctly

[desert tree]

Hopefully it works

[desert tree]

@surreal verge

About the Oil Coating Ballista

[surreal verge]

Ohhh that node

Then it should be the fire/elemental buff only I think, not the pen

[unreal hinge]

Yeah its not really clear what "damage modifiers" actually means. It works for flat damage and %increases. Not sure about pen

And some conditional buffs like deaths door dont translate to ballista even though they appear in the stats sheet

[steel merlin]

@icy drift in 0.9.1 a similar thing was fixed so wouldnt be surprised

[icy drift]

rofl

like it's really hard to test since i can't have a dummy in echoes but i feel like i'm taking more damage without getting hit if that makes sense

but yeah if the items recieved the penetration that enemies have then why wouldn't they recieve echo mods too right?

[steel merlin]

pick a low life or wardpersecond build, and see if there are differences in stable ward when using a spell with bleeding heart once in different monos

wanted to send it here smh

[icy drift]

i'm gonna do bleeding heart titan heart

and just cast a set amount of spells

[steel merlin]

Even better 👍

[icy drift]

10 fireballs outside of echo

titanheart not giving the extra hp upon equip is making this annoying lol

THEY DO LOL

nah man this ain't okay

i'm gonna redo it to be sure

so i have 62% increased physical damage, but i don't think that's applying since i should have taken quite a bit more damage

but i think atleast the inherit corruption damage is working

this is at higher corruption with no damage mods that would affect it

[desert tree]

I have been told recently, ailment inflicted by an item do not scale with your stat

[icy drift]

these are not my stats

[desert tree]

Oh

[icy drift]

it's scaling with the areas enemy stats

[ebon pasture]

What to do if a quest bugs like when i click her she just say hm and not opening the quest

[icy drift]

like the corruption stats

[ebon pasture]

I already restarted my game

[desert tree]

Verify?

[steel merlin]

oof

[icy drift]

echo mods and corruption don't affect it though thank god

it's just the penetration

[steel merlin]

how did you get three different numbrs then?

where did the second come from?

[icy drift]

went to different areas with differen't area levels

first is by the arena with the dummies, second is level 61 and third is 100

[steel merlin]

so it is the same bug that was fixed 😂

whats your phys res?

[cunning hamlet]

is anybody playing the game and can help me ingame out really quick?

[true wolf]

Does anyone have any experience pasting a loot filter into this game using a geforce now session?

[desert tree]

Does not work from what I've read

[icy drift]

posted everything here https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1167795279559405638

[ebon pasture]

When i get the bleed stacks dmg get applied instantly . Do i still benefit from increase dmg overtime?

[desert tree]

I am not sure I understand what you mean

Bleed benefit from increase physical and increase damage over time

[ebon pasture]

This one. Do i still benefit from increase duration of dmg overtime

[desert tree]

Yes

[ebon pasture]

Okay

Thanks

[desert tree]

Picture as you accelerate all your bleed stacks to deal damage in 0.0001 sec

[icy drift]

that'd make them deal 0 damage 😛

bleeds don't have an inherent "total" damage that they deal over their duration, they deal damage per second, otherwise duration increases and decreases wouldn't change their total damage, which they 100% do. these "pop" type nodes calculate the damage the bleed would have dealt over it's duration and deals it instantly, it's not the same as reducing the duration to 0. Sorry for being a bit of an akcltualy guy here lol.

[desert tree]

I didn't say "set the duration" I said speed them like taste of blood does

[icy drift]

taste of blood halves the duration, but also doubles their damage

reducing duration doesn't make them deal more damage is my point

[desert tree]

Thats what I mean by speeding/accelerating the bleed. But maybe it seems that I wasn't clear

[icy drift]

it doesn't matter anyway, i was just being a semantic jerk like i said ^^

[jovial wharf]

It was not in the forge. I'm about 90% sure now that I dropped it.

[sudden trellis]

hey everyone, I'm starting the game now but I'm wondering, is playing online bad for beginners and can other players attack you/grief you?

[steel merlin]

There is no pvp

[undone otter]

not bad at all 🙂 I'd recommend it

esp going forward as we get closer to 1.0

[icy drift]

@fading vector this isn't exactly a solution but you can make the game windowed, make the windows shorter and wider and you'll be able to see your stats

[fading vector]

already picked, too late, but will know next time, thanks a lot 👍

also picked the right option, so everything turned out well 😄

[slim scarab]

Does the cosmetic purchased is for all the character or for only one?

[native sail]

All characters

[smoky halo]

is no one else dealing with the server connectivity problem after every patch? I cannot get into the game again and I have no idea what to do. Already verified files so that won't work

[pine trail]

IS this the misfit channel? 😋

Time to work on my rune master woohoo!

[quick crown]

people in corrupted monoliths who uses ward, how much ward on average do you have? i need to check if i need to invest more into ward before i hit corrupted monos

atm i have 400 stable ward in town, and in combat i vary between like 1500 and 3000 depending on how many enemies im fighting

[surreal verge]

Errr that’s pretty low,what are your ward sources

[quick crown]

im a minion build, and i get ward from when my minions die (my skeleton mages sacrifice them) and i get a small amount of ward equal to the mana i spend on summoning the minions as well

the ward i get from sacrificing the minions is 35 + 0.8% of the max health of any zombies that spawns and explodes (30% chance for them to spawn whenever any other minion gets sacrificed)

[dense root]

most of the ward build i’ve played got 10k or more pretty consistently

although i think i’ve seen a few other people throw out 6k as a number to aim for

[quick crown]

are those numbers for a close combat build or for a caster/ranged build?

the recommended 6K to aim for i mean

[jade jetty]

hello, i've done a quest that should give me 1 passive point but I only obtain xp, I am missing something ?

[native sail]

Do you have the max amount of passive points from quests?

(it'd be shown in your map screen, lower left corner)

[jade jetty]

ah yes, 15/15

[native sail]

That'll do it

[dense root]

ranged as far as i know

[quick crown]

hmm, idk how i can get much more ward than i already have, i have invested pretty heavily already

[faint cape]

I think your ward generation is just really low

[dense root]

^

ward retention is only half the equation

[quick crown]

idk where i would find more sources to get ward from that would fit with a minion build

i tried googling around and found this

this would probably function pretty well for my build

to gain ward from

just need to find it

[errant herald]

Heya - gonna check out the game together with a friend for the first time tomorrow 🙂 Any recommended resources for beginners? any reliable source for builds?

[desert tree]

[pine trail]

I disconnected before I got the ancien forest waypoint. How do I get back to the ancient forest?

Is there an invite bug anyone knows of?

It's giving me error rreading somthing

[balmy oriole]

does anyone know if this node from firebrand takes effect first when i am consuming stacks via flame reave or does it do nothing for flame reave since it consumes the stacks first

[covert ore]

I'm not sure how I did it, but I just duplicated a unique in the forge

It appears to be a bug

[fringe night]

how do I level an item to my own level

[safe harness]

Requires level to use an item is determined by the base of the item and the total tiers of the affixes

[fringe night]

how do I raise a lv 50 item to a higher one

[safe harness]

If you craft higher tiers of affixes the required level goes up

[fringe night]

does it increase the stats if you do?

[safe harness]

Affixes are stats

But no, the overall stats don’t go up

Required level isn’t anything to do with power of the item

[fringe night]

don't they have a higher range of stats it can have?

[safe harness]

Each affix has a range of values for each tier

[covert ore]

you improve the item by crafting the affixes to a higher tier

the item level is irrelevant

different base types have different implicits

some base types are only available at high levels

there's a dragon staff base that has an implicit of +1 elemental skills -- that staff has a minimum level of 80 (if I remember correctly)

[fringe night]

any staff that increases bleed damage?

[covert ore]

maybe -- might be DoT dmg as opposed to bleed dmg

but you can always add an "incrased damage over time" affix in the forge and level that up to T5

[safe harness]

Bleed damage is physical damage over time so % increased physical damage and % increased damage over time will increase bleed damage

[covert ore]

somewhere I thought I read you can also increase ailment damage with flat added damage some how

[safe harness]

Nope

[fringe night]

so there's in increase for every ailment except bleed?

like increase chance for bleed on a weapon base stat

[safe harness]

Chance to apply bleed on hit is a suffix on weapons

[fringe night]

jsut asking if there's a unique staff that enhances bleed builds

[desert tree]

Not that I know of

[desert tree]

Bleed weapon are often axes

[fringe night]

then why does necromancer get so many bleeds

well guess I'm just going physical or damage over time

kinda dumb though

[desert tree]

Do you need help with anything?

You are not locked in you weapon choice as an acolyte

[fringe night]

is there a list where I can see every unique and set

I know

weapons are just stat sticks

[desert tree]

You don't have to have a staff, especially if you want to use bleeds

[fringe night]

I don't mind using axes

[desert tree]

Lastepochtools.com

[fringe night]

thanks

[desert tree]

The answer to that question is
Physical damage is part of the Acolyte theme. Bleed is physical.

[fringe night]

yeah it's fine just sucks it has melee damage instead of spell damage

kinda weird there are no bleed optoins for staffs/scepters whatever

only axes

[desert tree]

As an implicit only axes yes but you can find a staff or a sword with implicit dot dmg

Or there is a catalyst that convert your ward into bleed chance and bleed duration

[fringe night]

I don't use ward

but kinda weird there is poison chance staff

but not bleed

[safe harness]

Bleed on spells is pretty much just an acolyte thing

[fringe night]

so?

[faint cape]

So is poison on spells... anyway, we'll get more uniques as time goes on. Not everything has a unique.

[fringe night]

so going bleed on acolyte sucks and I should respec everything

[faint cape]

No

You don't need nor want a unique in every slot

[fringe night]

yeah but there aren't any uniques that help with bleeds

[desert tree]

There are axes, relic and off hand that help you

[faint cape]

There are quite a few

[desert tree]

Taste of Blood , Valdyr Chalice and Symbol of Demise or even the shield Flayer's Pride

[fringe night]

I don't use ward

[desert tree]

Since you are not playing ward you might want to use the shield

I mean not so long ago I saw smbd playing a bleed runemaster

[fringe night]

oh I just got that shield dropped lmao

[desert tree]

I am sure it can be done with a class that has some physical support

[fringe night]

so if you want to make a legendary you need a unique and purple item right?

[desert tree]

Whereas as mage/runemaster has none

Yep

[fringe night]

what stats carry over

[desert tree]

Random

[faint cape]

The unique does need to have LP

[desert tree]

Depending on the amount of lp you have

[fringe night]

hm..

yeah I don't have lp

bleed on hit is that melee hit or just any hit?

[desert tree]

On hit > everything that hit

On melee hit>...

[pine trail]

Why does % chance to hit not register in the charachter screen?

IE: Ihave two 17% chance to shock, but it doesn't register in the char window

[desert tree]

What chance are we talking about?

Is it global?

Or shock on lightning hit ?

[pine trail]

so 2x17%= 34% chance to shock, but when I hit c, and go to the other tab it shows as 0, never changes with removing and adding

[desert tree]

What chance are we talking about?
Is it global?
Or shock on lightning hit ?

[pine trail]

it's an idol

eaach one is 17% chance to shock on hit

thats the prefix on the idl

[desert tree]

It should

[pine trail]

Oh wait thats the wrong one LOL

I was looking at the when they hit me

[desert tree]

^^

[pine trail]

chance to shock changes, sorry rofl

Eh 13%....not bad I guess, still low level so I need every help I cna get

[fringe night]

I shouldn't craft any legendary till I'm lv 100 right?

[desert tree]

No you can start as early as 60

With low level unique

I have never reached lvl 100 but crafter plenty of leg

[pine trail]

Just got an experimental.....says +64 to ward decay threshold..........that slows the how fast ward bar shrinks?

[fringe night]

yes

[pine trail]

sweet......i's been a very good day on my rune master

[desert tree]

The normal ward threshold is 0 so
+64 means your ward will never naturally decay under that and will decay slower

[oblique quartz]

What stats are given to Manifest Armor's minion with nodes like Titan Sword? Does the minion get all stats or just some? (The wording of 'scales with your stats' is a bit odd for me)

[wide sentinel]

yes it gets a;ll stats from eeapon

[oblique quartz]

Neat, and the same would be true for the other nodes for boots/chest/helm/gloves with the scaling precent etc.

[faint cape]

Yes, just keep in mind some stats do nothing for minions. Namely, attributes and "complicated" stats.

Like things that proc skills are always too complicated to function on minions, other unique affixes kinda depends

[worthy raven]

Does Runemaster's Hydrahedron fire rate scale with cast speed?

[safe harness]

no

[grand harbor]

does anyone have spare Cycle of Putrescence's?

[dry narwhal]

trading is not in the game

unless it drops in the same game you are already in with people

[grand harbor]

ohhhhhh

you cant like drop it to someone.. rip, where do they drop from?

[storm blaze]

Doesn't have a specific location really

[quick crown]

while under the effects of aura of decay, you take 50% less poison damage, then an upgrade to aura of decay says you take 20% less (multiplicative) damage from poison
then i equip a item set that says i take 18% less poison and necrotic damage
then i equip an amulet that says i take 20% less damage over time
with this i should theoretically have over 100% less/reduced damage taken from poison right? or am i missing something?
im still in the Theorycrafting stage of this build, just want to check that all the numbers match up before i start the build
aditionally, do 100% less/reduced damage taken mean you are immune? or just that you take half the damage?

[surreal verge]

Not addictive

[unreal hinge]

Afaik those are multiplicative, so you would never achieve 100%

[surreal verge]

So 0.5 * 0.82 * 0.8... And so on

[unreal hinge]

And 100% damage reduction is a thing and causes you to take 0 dmg. You can still dodge and stuff with 100% dmg reduction

But its only achieved through certain skills

[slate drift]

how to fix lost connection

i cant leave start town

[quick crown]

hmm, so with the numbers i mentioned plus a few more numbers i should only take 19.2% of the original poison damage before resistances (or is less damage taken calculated after resistances?)

[surreal verge]

Less is after resists

I think

[quick crown]

ok, if its calculated after resists then with the setup i have planned, i would only take 4.8% of the original poison damage

[desert tree]

Doesn't really matter since resist are multiplicative too

[quick crown]

an actual 95.2% damage reduction is close enough for me to go with the build, life regen should cover for the edge cases where i take too much damage

[blazing gorge]

I have a question about the Unique Item echo in normal mono: does it appears somewhere randomly or is it more likely to appear somewhere specific, like far from the starting point or something...

[desert tree]

Both

Randomly by higher chance the further you are

And higher corruption you are make more of them appear

[desert tree]

@regal narwhal Moving it here to not spam in the devs channel. There is an anti AFK system. I think the timer is 10 min. But if you are looking at your skills in game it should not kick you

[regal narwhal]

True but you can't pre-skill ingame so I use the skill planner for my planned build on my 2nd monitor - ingame I am doing some pre-search with ALT-Key to get relations

my planned maingoal is to make a Lightning-Cold based RM. Freezing foes and apply cold/chill stacks while then mainly striking with lightning damage

[surreal verge]

15 mins I think is the default

[icy drift]

You'd think this is true but just remember that you'll only have a few thousand hp while dealing tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of DPS, 10k DPS would already have you take 500 damage per second, so be careful ^^

To be fair though you can also make the enemies get more poisons than yourself so this isn't entirely true

@pure trellis almost certain the answer is no, you should be able to use it no issue.

[pure trellis]

@icy drift Thanks for the info.

[blazing gorge]

Thanks for the answer

[quick crown]

question, the "unclosing wounds" passive in the Lich tree that drains a % of your max life per second in return for damage, is this node affected by damage reductions from passives and gear? or is it "true damage" and bypasses all damage reductions?
before anyone mentions it, i know volatile blood passive in lich tree reduces health drain, but thats not what im asking for

[icy drift]

Don't think it's considered damage to begin with.

So it can't be mitigated

True damage would behave slightly differently since it would proc things like auroras time glass, while this won't

[quick crown]

hmm, i see, thats a shame

[surreal verge]

It's drain. Countered by that passive or just more health regen, can't make it easy to mitigate

[quick crown]

oh well, also, im a bit baffled that life regen in this game isnt based off your max health and that there are no life regen effects that regen a % of your max health (only ones i have found regen missing health %)

[surreal verge]

Would be... pretty broken on acolyte.

[quick crown]

thats double the regen i have managed to get in the build im theorycrafting...

[surreal verge]

This is on a necro, specifically made to get as much regen as possible.

[surreal verge]

It is ALSO not a normal build

[quick crown]

i see, my current theorycrafted build looks like this, im trying to optimise it further
https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/planner/76qse0ou

only reason im using the 3-part set is the less poison damage taken

ive managed to get it down to only 4.8% of the original damage

[surreal verge]

You're not getting the health regen my build has because this node exists:

Wait, bone curse? GOlem?

What are you cooking?

[quick crown]

check the upgrades they use

bone curse is primarily for mark of death and marrow thief

[surreal verge]

Bone curse seems eh, and armour shred doesn't help you so idk why you maxed it.

[quick crown]

i thought armor shred reduced all res? must have misremembered that

[surreal verge]

Golem is okay, but it also does not much damage or have much health since you're not necro.
(ALso take the poison on hit taken on golem)

[surreal verge]

Armor only applies to HITS

[quick crown]

oh ok

[quick crown]

i misread that the first time i glanced over it, will grab it

[surreal verge]

Also, no traversal?

OR reaper form or death seal?

[quick crown]

well, as i said, the build is not done yet, im trying to improve it

[surreal verge]

This node in AoD is also pretty good.

[surreal verge]

Ah

But you should spec in a traversal tho, like transplant

It's also bone armour on demand

[quick crown]

will look into those options later when i get back from shopping groceries for the coming week

would it be more important to specialise in a traversal skill or something like death seal or reaper form?

[surreal verge]

Both:
Traversal skills are important to dodge things as you can't facetank bosses in LE.
Both Reaper form and Death seal are very good sources of increased damage, reaper form even comes with a traversal if you want to skip transplant.
Most standard Lich builds run Reaper form, Death seal, or even both.

[quick crown]

i think that reaper form is out of the question for me since i need the health regen to survive and the reaper form disables all health regen, and with the 3-part set im planning to use it disables life leeching

[fringe night]

reaper form stops health regen but it doesn't stop healht leech

or any other kind of healing

[quick crown]

i know, but as i said, the 3-part set im planning on using prevents life leech

[fringe night]

ah then it does nothing indeed

[quick crown]

"Zerrick's Greed" "cannot life leech from damage over time"

and i only do damage over time

and i repeat again before anyone who didnt read the conversation above asks about it, only reason i use the 3-part set is for the 18% less poison damage taken it gives, the rest of the stats on the set is garbage/trash for my build

if there was a way to substitute that 3-part set bonus for something else that could give me more benefits i would do it

[surreal verge]

I would say "Well crafted T5s" but it depends

I don't know if the 12 T5 affixes you gave up is worth the less damage over time

[fading vector]

Is there a way to spend gold on vault from lightless arbor?

for most bang for your buck?

[icy drift]

Not really

No matter if you accept or deny the offers the following ones will cost more

So you just wanna pick up the high bang for your buck offers before it gets too expensive basically

I think accepting does increase the price more than denying though so there's still reason to deny the bad offers

[soft merlin]

why does my void cleave freeze me in place for a few seconds? somethin weird in my build or bug?

[surreal verge]

What weapon are you using

[soft merlin]

set: blade of the forgotten knight with the shield defiance of the forgotten knight

[surreal verge]

Read void cleave again

[soft merlin]

or right 2h sword

[surreal verge]

I'll add a dollar to the "someone missed skill requirements" jar

[soft merlin]

it should not have worked at all or complain that is not possible

not freeze for 5s

but anyway, thx

[surreal verge]

The t-posing is the 'error'

They do need to properly add a warning yeah

[dusky kite]

It's dumb that instead of simply making the skill unusable with wrong weapon equipped they let it glitch and tpose your character. And this had been an issue for serpent strike for how long now, a year?

This build has a guide:

Lightning Blast SPARK CHARGES | 0.9.2 Runemaster Build Guide by Perry the Pig

[native sail]

Looks fine to me. It is a bit expensive in gear, so expect some farming (weapon and off-hand for example might take you a bit), other items are at least simple slams and even without the int slams you should have solid damage but you'll have less ward retention so less survival.

[solar shore]

ah i see

no wonder the build looks fun lol

[native sail]

It should be playable without any slammed gear but will obviously perform worse. But most of it is common enough to get without LP, Twisted Heart is target farmable (Ladle is... sorta targetable). Probably the hardest one to find baseline is the helmet. Chest is fairly common, I've gotten multiple 1LP, gloves are easy enough to get (int roll will be RNG), boots are pretty common with no LP, set ring is super super easy.

[solar shore]

but wouldnt other builds perform better if i were to play a diff build then this

[native sail]

I can't comment on this particular build in the long run, haven't played it. Frankly I wouldn't worry too much on what's meta and such.
And most builds that have high performance are gonna take some farming to gear.

[inner furnace]

Hello, who can explain why crit chance can be more than 100%

[solar shore]

ah i see

alright then

[native sail]

Because you acquired enough crit chance increases to go over 100%? It doesn't do anything.

[faint cape]

All it does at that point is count for things that scale based on your crit chance. Which is like 2 things nobody really uses

[old jolt]

Is skill specing capped at 20?

[pastel pebble]

Yes but you can go past it if you get +skill affixes or certain uniques

[surreal verge]

Yeah 20 is the natural, xp cap.

[old jolt]

okok

th

x

[old jolt]

can u abandon quests?

accepted some side quests i dont wanna do and now they are stuck on the side of the screen

[faint cape]

No (not yet)

[quick crown]

the last stat on the "atrophy gloves" that should give me penetration of enemy resistance against DOT right? the description isnt completely clear for me

the description doesnt state who gets the resistance penetration

[sinful laurel]

It increases your pen for dot damage. I.e. you do more damage with dots

[surreal verge]

Your DoTs get X% penetration.

[quick crown]

then its as i was thinking, just needed to clarify

[surreal verge]

No matter the DoT type, as longas it's a DoT

[quick crown]

i found an alternative way to reduce the DOT damage i take btw, instead of the 3-part set i had planned for earlier today

just need a way to have permanent uptime on haste and im gucci

much better than having to wear a 3-part set with stats i dont need just to get 18% less DOT taken

[acoustic thicket]

is there ny linux gamer that can play the game here?

[faint cape]

If a stat doesn't specify otherwise, it always applies to the thing it's on. For equipment, that's almost always you.

[acoustic thicket]

I was playing perfectly fine last year idk which patch broke the game but now I either get very low fps at certain settings but can play, or can't play at all

[faint cape]

It's kinda tough, but I think one of the few sources of that for a necro is transplant.
