[warm topaz]

anyone knows if this increases ailment damage applied with the other skill?

[desert tree]

It should it's generic More Dmg

[solar shore]

is there a way that i can play an online character while appearing offline?

like my friends wont be able to see me playing

[desert tree]

You can probably turn your status offline ?

[solar shore]

does that work? cause there was a time where i had it on offline and my friend saw me online

[desert tree]

It should if its there

If not https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1123698102470189118

[cedar locust]

Goooood Morning Chat! How were our weekends?

[desert tree]

Hello, pretty good and yours ?

[cedar locust]

Pretty good too, thank you!

[quick crown]

is the "burning avarice" gloves exclusive to the soulfire bastion dungeon or can you get them from rune of ascendance gambling?

[desert tree]

Exclusive to the Gambler

[quick crown]

exclusive drop from the boss? no other way to get them? ok

[tidal vessel]

What’s the endgame mode to push my build and see how far it can go?

Is it Arena

[cedar locust]

Not the Boss, the Gambler you interact with. There are a few items you can only get from that NPC - Soulfire Bastion Gambler Items

[cedar locust]

Some use Arena, most use Corruption Level in Monoliths though

[tidal vessel]

Aah okay thanks

[quick crown]

so, do you fight the soul gambler or trade him?

and if you trade him, is the item you get random?

[desert tree]

During the Dongeon you will get Soul Ember.

At the end of the dongeon you will fight the boss, it has its own personnal loot table

After that you will encounter the Soul Gambler

It works almost like the regular Gambler but

You dont use gold but soul ember

It can give you uniques and exalted

[quick crown]

hmm

[desert tree]

It has some specific uniques

[quick crown]

can you get burning avarice gloves from T1 soulfire bastion? or do you need a higher tier for it?

[desert tree]

Hum

What zone is the T1 Soulfire ?

If its less than 46 I dont think you can

But I am not entirely sure

[quick crown]

its area level 45 i think

[icy drift]

Then no

[quick crown]

is it normal for the boss at the end of soulfire bastion T1 to barely drop anything? i basically only got some shards

[desert tree]

Lootfilter too hard ?
Unlucky ?

[toxic anvil]

Any info on cycles?

[desert tree]

The first one start with 1.0

[faint cape]

He drops a lot of soul embers, and isn't guaranteed to drop much else

[quick crown]

ok, that sounds like what i got then

[toxic anvil]

I mean will they work like poe?

[dreamy raft]

I really need this item but using the rune of ascendance it cannot appear. I found a suggestion to only drop items in the Blood, Frost and death timeline. Where is this location?

[rugged sinew]

from the timeline boss

in blood frost and death

[dreamy raft]

start at the monolith of fate location and search in echo web, right?

[toxic anvil]

does something like doom stack additively with all the other %increased sources?

[pastel pebble]

You gotta kill the boss for it

You just grind the web and stack rarity to kill the boss

[sudden trellis]

"Timeline to target farm: Blood, Frost, and Death ("Unique or Set Body Armour" echo rewards) Random Drop (Common)" does this mean it can drop from any mob in that mono or from the egg at the end?

[steel merlin]

From the egg at the end of "unique or set body armour" echos, and from enemies everywhere in any timeline

[desert tree]

Pretty much yes

[desert tree]

Its a world drop so everywhere

If you are doing Body Armour Echo youwill have a chance to get it in the "egg" at the end

[tidal vessel]

how do i skip the campaign on my alt characters?

[surreal verge]

Use T1 dungeons
The skip doesn't complete the side quests for you tho

[tidal vessel]

I don't care about side quests right? I will just be leveling through the monolith

[surreal verge]

Well, 15 passive points and your idol slots.

[tidal vessel]

oh... i thought the idol slots were unlocked through the main campaign

[toxic anvil]

how does death seal scale?

like exactly with %missing health

[surreal verge]

Some do, but not all

[toxic anvil]

and if a minion has death seal on them, will they cast wave of death on dying and are THEY they ones casting it?

[surreal verge]

1:1% under the 'More' modifier

33% hp means 67% More damage

[toxic anvil]

got it

and is the minion casting it?

[surreal verge]

The minion question I don't have the answer to

I never tried it

[toxic anvil]

ah

and what about soul blast from the death stranded node?

[tidal vessel]

😮 i don't remember doing that many sidequests for my main and i have all the idol slots

[toxic anvil]

is that the kind of question I can ask in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs ?

[surreal verge]

Yeah, it's kinda half the intent

[toxic anvil]

coool

[surreal verge]

Assuming no one else can answer you

[toxic anvil]

yeye

[surreal verge]

[toxic anvil]

where does it say this?

[surreal verge]

It's also reflected in the stat sheet

[toxic anvil]

oh im blind 🤣

eQUAL

[surreal verge]

HAHAHAHA

[surreal verge]

Assuming you ONLY did main quests, you will get up to 7 passive points and 3 idol slots' quests worth

[toxic anvil]

wait where is that?

[surreal verge]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/checklist/quests/passives

[surreal verge]

Might be in alt text in game, but in LEtools:

[toxic anvil]

ahhh okay got it

[tidal vessel]

ohh okay hmm i guess i'll just do the darn campaign then

i want those idol slots

[toxic anvil]

and the based on how long its been active and current % missing health part? @surreal verge

[surreal verge]

IF you do every side quest, you'll get all of them before hitting lagon's dungeon

[cedar locust]

If you haven't found them all already - you could look for the secret areas and hidden references!

[surreal verge]

That I have no clue it's proper scaling, I never bothered to find out since I use the "Death wave every sec" node.

SOmeone might have a better idea than me

[cedar locust]

That someone being Mike

[surreal verge]

Tho I can bet the current health part is similar to the 1:1 ratio of more damage

[toxic anvil]

goot it

[surreal verge]

Your mileage may vary, good luck-

[toxic anvil]

yeye

[tidal vessel]

is there any reason to select "character found" in offline mode?

[surreal verge]

No stash sharing.

[tidal vessel]

Ohhh

[pine trail]

Are the supporter packs cosmetic?

[faint cape]

Yes, all real world money spending is cosmetic only (aside from purchasing the game)

[pine trail]

Thought it was.....what are the epoch points for?

[faint cape]

I'm not sure I follow exactly, but the packs give cosmetics you can't buy with EP, and also give some EP

[cedar locust]

Epoch Points allow you make purchases in the In-Game store for items (also Cosmetic MTX only) that cannot be purchased via Supporter Packs 🙂

[pine trail]

Nice.....may grab me some packs just to support the game if nothing else. Been awhile since I had this much fun in a game

[cedar locust]

I'm glad to hear you're having fun! There will be more in game items in the future and Epoch Points will persist, so if nothing in the in game Store takes your fancy, you can hold onto those points!

[sinful laurel]

Alpha I do have to say, you have come pretty far from when you first joined and were asking your initial questions.

[pine trail]

Yep, I'm a quick study, at least for the most part. Having played a lot more games over 30 yrs helps too......but LE is definatly a question asking game. The combat mechanics are not easy to grasp, since most games use melee as physical melee attacking, and spells as casting abilities, LE combines the 2 and mixes things up.
Certainly adds more into the mix of what you can do, which is nice to have

[knotty mesa]

waiting for new cosmetics )

[pine trail]

Playing with the neg mana necro build atm, just for fun......actually working on what build I wanna use though. Thinking Volitile with golem if I can ever get the aarons will chest. Looked on LE site, looks like I won't be farming it very soon

[knotty mesa]

broken zombie.... they've taken over Ladder

[pine trail]

The monoliths I'm stll confused about. Have to do me some more research on those. I get the concept of running them, going as far away as you can to build corruption, but I'm not sure excatly how to open the other locked monoliths. From what I gather you open them all then there is even more monolith stuff, but thats a ways away yet. Might figure it out by lvl 100 lol

[pine trail]

Yep. I'm noteven in it for ladder. I just wanna get my first 100 toon LOL. Even so, I wouldnt do it for ladder......thats why I'm working on a new build, it's going by by in 1.0 anyways. I'm just doing it to play it for the fun of it. it's insanely powerful even at lower lvl. I am 84, and only BARELY have the gear I need to make it work. Most i have is t6 belt, rest is all t2, but it's still op even at that. Fun to play with but very laggy in a group

[knotty mesa]

I noted that there is no bugs, if before joining all party members will relog to main menu, and than create fresh group ))

It's just hard to catch up to them, that's why I said about zombies. if u are necro, u should try permanent abom, it's the easiest way to farm items and corruption without gear, u just need health leech ring and that's all

[pine trail]

I honestly got very lucky on my rings, I used a total of 5 accentions and got both rings in one day.

[pearl girder]

Does anyone else's class selection screen look like this?

[cedar locust]

Might be worth verifying your steam files, could also fix with a restart! If it persists let me know!

[pearl girder]

For the record I'm on Linux

[pearl girder]

I verified them earlier today.

[toxic anvil]

if I rune of ascendece a kite shield do I just get a bastion? 🤣

oh not exact base? just item type

[cedar locust]

Did this persist through a restart?

[pearl girder]

Does anyone else's class selection

[surreal verge]

Only item type

[cedar locust]

It has a chance but no guarantee - a shield will become a shield, a ring will become a ring, a helmet will become a helmet etc

[pearl girder]

General question;

When I change the appearance of a character can I change their gender?

And are all the cosmetic choices just limited to cash shop options? At least I think it's a cash shop, it's a currency I don't recognize

[surreal verge]

Apperances can't be changed.
Yeah it's shop cosmetics only ala PoE

[pearl girder]

Thanks. I was hoping for more character customization, skin tone, gender, maybe build and features too.

Oh well, maybe in a post launch patch

[cedar locust]

Customisation is something the team want to add in the future though given the amount of 3D models that will need altering, it isn't a priority at the moment. Doesn't mean it'll never happen though!

[surreal verge]

It's in their "future future" plans

[tidal vessel]

what is the maximum number of companions i can have for the primalist/beastmaster? i know the default is 2 it says

[surreal verge]

If you mean “Absolute max taking into account all possible increases”, 6 via wolves, 4 otherwise I think

[sudden trellis]

is there a problem with EU central servers or is it on my end?

[wide sentinel]

from what people say here there is always a problem with eu servers

[toxic anvil]

minions get all their flat dmg from their own skill trees right?

[buoyant sinew]

not necessarily. gear can give it, other skills can buff them with it

[toxic anvil]

ah, where can we see the base dmg of a minion?

[buoyant sinew]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/minions/

[toxic anvil]

where can we find stun chance?

[buoyant sinew]

it's not a simple chance. https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/community-game-guide/26057#heading--stun

[wary girder]

If I don't need a drop from a boss of a particular timeline, but I am target farming that timeline for something, is there any point of doing the timeline quests? Should I just race to reset the web and increase corruption?

[buoyant sinew]

you should be doing the empowered version of the timeline, if you weren't already. that means you can do the boss straight away without having to mess with the other quests, and it's usually worth doing that unless you're sure you will never care about the drops on any future character and already have the perfect blessing

doing the boss also speeds up corruption increases

[wary girder]

Ooo gotcha! Yea, I haven't unlocked empowered monos on this character yet, but was going to try target farmin anyways

Bad idea you think?

[buoyant sinew]

yep very bad idea. empowered monos are much faster for every kind of farming, give you vastly better incidental loot while you're doing it, stronger blessings, etc, etc. you should never farm non-empowered

[wary girder]

Gotcha! Thanks brother. May pop onto my higher level char then and farm haha. Probably gonna save me a ton of time

[toxic anvil]

how does hallowed arsenal on multistrike work?

will smite be cast on every hit for EACH armament stack i have?

[buoyant sinew]

a nearby enemy will be smited for each stack you have, yes

[toxic anvil]

ah

[buoyant sinew]

it doesn't smite the same target lots of times or anything

[toxic anvil]

and how many base stacks can we have?

doesnt say on tools

as well as stack duration

[buoyant sinew]

from memory, 2

[toxic anvil]

so i can be casting 2 smites with every hit?

at base

[buoyant sinew]

sure

[toxic anvil]

oh?

it says "strike a nearby enemy" for swords

why doesn't it hit the same one if there is only 1 target?

[buoyant sinew]

LETools lack of reminder text strikes again. in-game tooltip has this

[toxic anvil]

BRUH 🤣

[buoyant sinew]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzBsCZwViA is what you want

[toxic anvil]

cant even hit the same as initially hit

[buoyant sinew]

though aurelis only being on rare or unique is a weird choice and makes it feel way worse cause it bricks you on tanky normal enemies

[toxic anvil]

yeah that's weird 🤣

i guess u could take both?

youd still brick on those guys

😭

[buoyant sinew]

yeah you may as well, but that still means if you hit a spire or profane flesh or something you're not smiting them

and if you're scaling smite damage instead of multistrike then ???

cry I guess

[toxic anvil]

lol riop

god damn sometimes i wish this game didn't have classes like poe 🤣

[buoyant sinew]

I don't think LE's skill system could possibly work with the "every class can use every skill" model

the complexity will really start to ramp when they start adding 4th masteries though

[toxic anvil]

true true

especially cause there's cross reference

in skill trees

[buoyant sinew]

exactly

it's exponential scaling

[toxic anvil]

yeeep

[buoyant sinew]

that's why the classes that still only have 2 masteries feel soooo shallow

[toxic anvil]

hahahah yep

dont have them other ablitieeees

does echoing the multistrike cause another multistrike to hit the same target?

[buoyant sinew]

sure

[toxic anvil]

and will it also cast smite?

shame we can't convert multistrike dmg to fire or something eheh

[amber rain]

Is self-inflicted damned supposed to bypass Ward? And is it intended that Drain Life can't be casted when you drop below 10 hp with the blood pact node?

[tidal vessel]

do squirrels do same damage as wolves?

[buoyant sinew]

no

[tidal vessel]

hmm but maxroll says it doubles the numbers

[buoyant sinew]

yes, doubling the number of minions you have

[tidal vessel]

oh 😂

[buoyant sinew]

tbh the dps is probably more than double, scurry is cracked

[tidal vessel]

but is scurry better than artor's legacy

+1 maximum companion

2 wolves

[buoyant sinew]

yeah it's not even close

[tidal vessel]

oh what how can you explain

with artor, i have 2 wovles

which is 200% but with scurry, i have 2 squirrels which is 90%

[buoyant sinew]

you get +companions from other sources than artor's

you end up with 10 squirrels (vs 6 wolves with artor's)

so then you get to benefit from sciurine rage being way better than howl, the phys shred (and bleed if you're using it) on scurry, and the +levels on scurry

also double the minions = improved clear speed

[tidal vessel]

whoa 😂 let me think about this! you just blew my mind away

[buoyant sinew]

👍

squirrel builds are generally considered some of the best minion builds in the game

[tidal vessel]

because right now, i'm thinking of making a build that has wolves, spriggan/bear, scorpion, sabertooth and raptor

[tidal vessel]

but maybe i drop some or all of those pets for 10 squirrels lol

[surreal verge]

You might want to check your other nodes, damned also cuts your hp regen.
Yes, since there's an upfront health cost, so most likely.

[native sail]

This would be terrible btw. Those are all vastly different minions and you have zero supporting skills or skills for yourself, your damage, clear, and survival will all be absolute F tier.

[amber rain]

@surreal verge So can you have negative hp regen and lose hp per second?

[surreal verge]

No, but if you're acolyte you have stuff that drains current hp per second, which by default hp regen can help counter.

[tidal vessel]

yea, i know it's not the best because i want a pure minion build. i don't want to do damage myself but if i go 10 squirrels then i could add skills like eterra's blessing, spriggan form and etc...

[native sail]

Yes. Squirrels are good. Because you're not splitting yourself across 5 different types of minions.

Zoo builds don't work in LE. You need to specialize into a type.

[tidal vessel]

aah alright, thanks for the tip

[buoyant sinew]

if you're pure squirrels you can use warcry and frenzy totem for support for example

[buoyant sinew]

(tell this to my frostbite zoo druid)

[native sail]

I do recommend having at least one skill you can hit with so you can proc Aspect of The Shark for your squirrels

[tidal vessel]

good idea

[tidal vessel]

aspect of the shark gives squirrels more damage?

[amber rain]

I don't have any health drain on my passive tree, items or skill trees. The only things that influence my hp are the low life chest and drain life's current health cost, so it has to be damned that bypasses ward. With just the current hp lost I stay at ~ 50-60 hp, but as soon as I get a dozen+ damned stacks, it drops to sub 10 and I'm unable to cast drain life

[native sail]

Increased melee damage and attack speed and can also give armor shred

[surreal verge]

If you have more than 20 hp regen then damned is 'assisting' in making you lose health by making the low life chest drain more.

Exsag IS a health drain.

[toxic anvil]

armor shred doesn't help bleed right?

[surreal verge]

No, becuase armor only applies to hit.

[toxic anvil]

got it

[tidal vessel]

is that for my companions/minions or is it just for myself

[toxic anvil]

do phis pen and armor shred stack multiplicitavely?

[native sail]

Companions when specced right

[tidal vessel]

oh hmm... what passive is it that i need to get?

ah, hunters of the deep. got it

[drowsy hornet]

is it bannable to use this? reshade mod for LE

https://www.nexusmods.com/lastepoch/mods/2

[tidal vessel]

is feeding frenzy good or bad?

[buoyant sinew]

kind of? I would say more "independently" than "multiplicatively", they're totally separate calculations but armour is not a linear one like res is

[surreal verge]

Also having 5 stacked of damned cuts off ALL your health regen

[desert tree]

#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[toxic anvil]

imean they interact w each other tho right?

[tidal vessel]

does this carry onto squirrels?

[desert tree]

Yes

[tidal vessel]

i assume the whole passive tree for wolves does

[buoyant sinew]

yeah you can benefit from both

[buoyant sinew]

yep!

[tidal vessel]

great

[toxic anvil]

does damage decreased by armor for example carry on to be further decreased by phis resist?

trying to understand 🤣

[desert tree]

They are multiplicative

[toxic anvil]

cool

🙂

[balmy current]

Squirrels are just smaller grumpier wolves.

[toxic anvil]

lol

[tidal vessel]

😅

[balmy current]

TBH, they're just bigger rats with bigger, fluffier tails.

[tidal vessel]

is summon spriggan a damage pet or is it more of a utility pet?

[wide sentinel]

can be both

[tidal vessel]

do you think it does more damage than bear?

[wide sentinel]

ugh idk they both high dps

[pearl girder]

Once I choose a Mastery can I change it?

[buoyant sinew]

no

respeccing everything else is pretty easy but class and mastery cannot be changed

[pearl girder]

Thanks

Anyone want to tell me abut the differences between Beastmaster, Shaman, and Druid?

[dense root]

beastmaster has minions, druid transforms, shaman is bad

[pearl girder]

Roger your last... <snerk>

[buoyant sinew]

shaman is meant to be about totems and nature magic though

just yeah is very weak aside from a couple of builds right now

[pearl girder]

Found the wiki. Shaman actually looks like fun. I love storm powes when they're well done

Is there a list of builds somewhere, or a build app?

[safe harness]

the wiki has more incorrect information than accurate information

[pearl girder]

<sigh> Yeah, I should guess that given that it's still early access.

[safe harness]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/

it's just no one updates the wiki

other sites are up to date

[pearl girder]

Well, to be fair Fandom sucks

[wide sentinel]

do you also love storm powers that do 3 damage?

[pearl girder]

Yeah, no.

[undone otter]

yup

RIP my beloved Curse 😦

[pearl girder]

Thanks!

[icy drift]

We need a dedicated wiki site already (took Poe like 8 years or something to migrate from fandom lul)

[crude jolt]

are bows generally behind due to vulnerability changes? That's what i generally read about

[pearl girder]

Maybe we could get someone to set up a new wiki at miraheze.org

Love to be able to talk the devs into it. Fandom stinks on ice

[quick crown]

what's the most effective way to farm this stat on gloves?

[toxic echo]

Kill more mages for it to drop naturally.

Or

Kill them for runes of research, use those to get glyphs of insight, and look up what tier affixes you need to insight it on the gloves. (Perry has a video with all the things for insight)

[toxic anvil]

Any way to tell with certainty what skills that are sourced from another skill scale off of from the source skill tree? (Added, increased, more)

[buoyant sinew]

as in when skill A triggers skill B, what tree nodes apply?

the defaults are:

• if the triggered skill has a tree of its own, its tree applies and the tree of the triggering skill does not
• if the triggered skill does not have a tree of its own, the tree of the triggering skill applies

there are plenty of exceptions to these but as far as I know they're always specifically called out by whatever is causing the trigger

[toxic anvil]

Got it

And ailments applied by a skill don’t inherit anything?

[buoyant sinew]

oh no, they benefit from any damage modifiers that can apply to ailments

so a generic % more damage tree node will apply to ailments, so does increased damage from attribute scaling say

[sinful laurel]

Mainly modifiers that do not specify on hit

[buoyant sinew]

but a tree node that gives % more hit damage will not work on ailments

or yeah the occasional one that's specifically melee damage or whatever

this is why shield rush is such a great skill for applying ailments

it has nothing to do with ailments on its tree but boy oh boy does it have a lot of damage modifiers

(and hits three times)

[toxic anvil]

Waaait from attribute scaling too?

[sinful laurel]

Yes but only the same scaling all damage gets. Minimal

[toxic anvil]

So if a skill scales of idk int, and applies poison, whatever %inc the skill was granted by int is given to ailments it applies too? (Including if the ailment change was sourced externally?)

Right yeah

[icy drift]

Yes

[toxic anvil]

100% mana effeciency is free?

[sinful laurel]

No

[toxic anvil]

how does that work?

50% off?

[sinful laurel]

Yes

[toxic anvil]

ahh ok

[toxic anvil]

wait the tree has a bunch of hit effects?

final "hit"

or is that not the right wording?

if i have judgement consume 100% of my mana, and then take a node that gives +mana cost, what happens?

[sinful laurel]

Your mana will go negative

[toxic anvil]

uh

so it'll go negative for the -mana cost portion?

[sinful laurel]

Unsure what your asking. If judgment costs more than your mana pool, it will consume more than your mana pool

[toxic anvil]

the node says 100% of current mana, so if I have that and a +40 to cost it'll bring me to -40?

[sinful laurel]

I would assume that's how it works yes

And probably 55 total, counting base cost

Did you read what the tooltip says on that node?

It's mana cost now counts as mana consumed for the pious offering node

[toxic anvil]

got it

[sinful laurel]

Sorry just read it now

[toxic anvil]

yeah

[sinful laurel]

So still 100%, just more is consumed

[toxic anvil]

wut

so u cant consume mana u dont have?

[sinful laurel]

Nope

[toxic anvil]

but u can still spend it?

🤣

BRUH

also, will added spell damage affect consecrated ground?

[sinful laurel]

So if you have 1000 mana, pious offering will consume 1000 mana. If you take urgent inquisition, it will be as if you are consuming 1040 mana

[sinful laurel]

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

Look at the tags. Always look at the tags

[toxic anvil]

so it'll count as additional "more" damage with pious offering?

[sinful laurel]

Yes, at least that's how it reads

[toxic anvil]

ah so yes 🤣

[toxic anvil]

and dis?

[sinful laurel]

Also don't forget to read the fine print. Namely about healing effectiveness

[sinful laurel]

#❔┃ask-the-community message

[toxic anvil]

yep

oh that was for 2 things 🤣

is it even effective to have a main source of dps being judgement?

or sry consecrating aura

[sinful laurel]

Judgement has a bonkers amount of damage yes

It has bonkers scaling, as high as you can scale your mana and healing effectiveness

Which you can get over 800 mana on a dedicated sentinel build

[toxic anvil]

hmmm

LOL

yikes

[sinful laurel]

Yup. And it's not even really that hard

[toxic anvil]

1600% more dmg 🤣

[sinful laurel]

Yup

[toxic anvil]

plus healing effectiveness for more flat?

[sinful laurel]

And 1 flat damage per 5% healing eff

Plus whatever actual flat spell you can fet

[toxic anvil]

yeah

[sinful laurel]

Plus actual fire damage and spell damage scaling on your gear

[toxic anvil]

why do i feel like the main things that really matter are more and flat LOL

[sinful laurel]

Those are huge ones yes, but you want at least some % increased

[toxic anvil]

right yeah you get that all over the place though 🤣

[sinful laurel]

I mean if you build for it yeah

[toxic anvil]

so if im just spamming auras, i can do whatever I want?

[sinful laurel]

Same with anything haha

I'm not an expert in judgement paladin but it seems like you are understanding the idea

[toxic anvil]

gooot it

thank you good sir

i enjoy dumbass builds 🙂

also for sigils, idk if it's actually worth taking the node for flat dmg

(on judgement)

the one that consumes sigils

[sinful laurel]

I mean that's an easy source of damage and sigils are pretty braindead, just take the sigil on kill node

You can always cast them yourself too if you want

And sigils do a lot of good things

[toxic anvil]

will the dmg of the consecrated aura increase if I put on sigils AFTER I cast it?

[sinful laurel]

Including giving you a very good boost of healing eff

No. Aura will snapshot

[toxic anvil]

got it

[sinful laurel]

But you get a duration on healing eff bonus, so the next aura will take it if you cast it in time

[toxic anvil]

what do u mean?

[sinful laurel]

Healing rites node in sigils. If you take it

Although invigorate is better

[toxic anvil]

i gotta consume them for that tho right?

[sinful laurel]

You're gonna consume them anyways...

Because judgement does

[toxic anvil]

oh assuming I take the sacrifice node?

if I use all my mana using judgement, then i may have an issue casting sigils

[sinful laurel]

Truth

But if you cast them first

And then judgement

Or take last wish and let them proc on kill

[toxic anvil]

how long is the aura?

can't find it

yeah 6% chance tho right?

[sinful laurel]

Yeah but it happens more often than you think, and stacks sigils especially if you take some duration nodes

[toxic anvil]

gooot it

fair enough man

shanks!

do we know if there any plans to make skill respecs free?

(no leveling requirement)

[sinful laurel]

Nope

Respeccing a skill is super quick once you are in empowered monos

[toxic anvil]

ah ok cool

also, how important is crit avoidance?

[sinful laurel]

You want it, or reduced DMG from crits, at 100% by the time you're in endgame

[toxic anvil]

endgame being monos?

[sinful laurel]

Empowered monos yeah

[toxic anvil]

ah

and where do I get avoidance vs reduced dmg from crits?

[sinful laurel]

It won't start to really hurt until you get some corruption though

Avoidance is a suffix/implicit on a lot of armor pieces and is in several passive trees.

Reduced DMG from crits is on several uniques, is in the RM passive tree and is now on armor pieces as a suffix too

[toxic anvil]

RM?

wait it wasnt on armor pieces before?

[sinful laurel]

Runemaster. And no reduced DMG from crits wasn't an affix until 0.9.2 pretty sure

[toxic anvil]

ahh ok

i dont need both avoidance and reduced dmg from crits right?

[sinful laurel]

No. One or the other

[toxic anvil]

do they work together?

[sinful laurel]

No.

[toxic anvil]

whats the max for reduced dmg from crits?

[sinful laurel]

100%

[toxic anvil]

wait so same as avoid 🤣

[sinful laurel]

Yup

[toxic anvil]

except its mitigation and not aviodance 😂

[sinful laurel]

Yup.

[toxic anvil]

does crit avoid actually make u avoid the hit entirely?

or just downgrade?

[sinful laurel]

No. Just turns it into a non crit. At 100% both stats do the exact same thing

[toxic anvil]

ohhh so reduced dmg from crits just reduces the additional dmg gained from it being a crit?

[sinful laurel]

Yup

[toxic anvil]

ahh okie

[sinful laurel]

That one is more broadly usable below 100% where at 95% you will basically not feel the difference

[toxic anvil]

gooot it

are there more sources of either?

[sinful laurel]

Idk what you mean by more sources

[toxic anvil]

more ways to get

like easier

[sinful laurel]

More than what?

[toxic anvil]

avoidance vs reduced dmg taken

[sinful laurel]

There are the ways I told you above. There are several avenues to get either

[toxic anvil]

cool cool

[toxic anvil]

what are the best ways to get crit chance aside from the trees of the skill itself?

[sinful laurel]

Depends

[toxic anvil]

haha on what? like do you just take a bunch of increased till u hit 100%?

[sinful laurel]

No. It depends on the build and gear

[toxic anvil]

are your main sources %increased tho?

[sinful laurel]

% increased is additive with itself and multiplicative on the base, but the base is only 5% for most everything. So you would need an additional 1900% increased crit chance to cap crit

You need to increase the base frit chance and then stack increased crit to hit 100. And there are several ways to do this depending on skills and passives and gear etc

[toxic anvil]

goot it

[misty helm]

can someone check my math? looking for hp->ward

only was T4, have gotten T5 in the past. do we know the variable missing from the guide?

[acoustic thicket]

How well does this game run on the steam deck?

[desert tree]

From what I've read pretty good for most people.

You might have to change a few settings

[desert tree]

I counted 18 TAT so you are on Armour/Dot

I am 99% sure sealed affix count

[misty helm]

it was hp->ward. 18tat - 5affixes = 13 cycle4 = 1
The part that I am confused at now is why sometimes its a T4 vs T5. Canit find any info on what the 5th criteria is. been working off of this list, which appears to be incomplete

this is what I got last time I used it on a 6, 3, 5, 5, (2)

oh, maybe tat > 20

I could use more verification on that if anyone ends up using some insights on 20 or 20+

[limber spire]

So what’s the end game beside farming monoliths ?

[misty helm]

really it. arena and dungeons are only other things I know of

so monoliths and keys

[dense ravine]

Hello, Does physical penetration effect shadow dagger as well? because there are 2 affixes: 1 physical penetration with shadow dagger and the other only "Physical Penetration"

[surreal verge]

Yes.

The former just super buffs shadow dagger.

[dense ravine]

ahh thank you, which affixes do you think better between physical penetration or crit multiplier for neck? when I see the tooltip physical penetration has higher dps, but I am not sure the tooltip calculate the crit multiplier or not

[desert tree]

I think crit multi rolls higher. And if you already have phys pen it might not be worth it

[proud fulcrum]

is there a reason my echo quest says "contains incomplete path" when i have over 500 stability?

[desert tree]

Can you send a screenshot?

[proud fulcrum]

sure of what?

[misty helm]

is it a normal mono and you havent done all 3 quests?

screenshot of wherever it says that I would assume

[proud fulcrum]

i dont think its going to let me

[desert tree]

??

Are you in empowered?

[proud fulcrum]

normally i can drag and drop pics in discord. but im not getting any pop up when i do

[misty helm]

in an echo, or on the island select area?

[proud fulcrum]

doubtfull as i just joined

trying to do wengari stronghold in the stolen lance monolith

[misty helm]

normal monolith? first time through?

[proud fulcrum]

yes

this is the second time for this area. i was trying to get the second path. if there is one

[safe harness]

The two paths are based on which wengari tribe you assist in the first quest for that monolith

[misty helm]

as in havent made the 2nd choice yet? I dont remember where the quest choice is in this one. normally just take different dialogue.

yeah, this one its which NPC you talked to

[proud fulcrum]

so your saying i may not need the second path then?

[misty helm]

I dont know that you need all the paths, but next time through you can finish the other path

[proud fulcrum]

second time meaning empowered echos?

[safe harness]

If you want to unlock the other monolith you’ll need to redo the first quest there

[proud fulcrum]

because this is my second time for this monolith. i already have the lvl 70 path opened

[misty helm]

have you already completed the first quest echo?

for the 2nd time around

[proud fulcrum]

yes

[misty helm]

is this where it says that message?

[proud fulcrum]

it gave me option to change reward but i chose not to

[misty helm]

then you are just completing it the same path as last time it sounds like. is it preventing you from doing the quest echos? if not then just complete all 3 again, and on the third lap pick the other tribe.

oh, you mean you completed the boss a 2nd time

[proud fulcrum]

when i click on first quest to start it. that is where it says it

[misty helm]

and had the blessing

I see

[safe harness]

You might have to the monolith boss before it will let you do that quest again

[misty helm]

is it a question and 2 locks? or what symbols for the quest echoes?

[proud fulcrum]

ok i shall nix him again. lol

[misty helm]

this?

[proud fulcrum]

yes that

[misty helm]

means you have a choice in it that you ahvent done before I think. that or bugged to say it after you have already completed, because I dont think I missed any, but Idk that you need them all

[proud fulcrum]

ok

[misty helm]

lemme clarify, intent is to say you have more quest choices/paths you can take

but.. idk all the paths and choices, and I see it in my normal one when I feel like I did both, but maybe there was more and I skipped it

[safe harness]

It’s best not to spend too much time in non-empowered monoliths anyway since you get worse exp and loot

[proud fulcrum]

thanks for the info

so best just to bee line to the lvl 90 ones?

[safe harness]

Yup

[proud fulcrum]

kk thanks

[proud fulcrum]

just had the shortest echo ever. port in kill shrine that was right there and exit. lol

[quick crown]

did you find out what the 5th criteria was?

[misty helm]

na, but I really think its TAT 20 because that sounds like a thing. obv I could be way off base though. I didnt find anything that said it could get to T5, but I have very clearly done it before.

and it needs to be something that community testing missed. I could see them not using enough maxed items for their tests, but I wasnt there

[desert tree]

Iirc when the glyph first came out it was bugged (big surprise ^^) and you could not get a t5. I had been fix since

[misty helm]

haha, big surprise there indeed. makes sense. do you know if anyone figured out that last tier?

[desert tree]

I have not seen anything about it

Might have missed it though

[misty helm]

rgr, will keep notes until then. (as intended with 'insight')

[acoustic thicket]

hi there 🙂
before purchase the game i have a question on the online-coop:
when me and my friend playing a coop session, will everyone make progress on his character? And will we be able to continue solo?

[misty helm]

its individual characters

adhoc party, means you both bring a character to play the session

or do you mean quests? pretty sure those are all individual flagged too

not like BG3 or such where there is a host for a session and only 1 save file

[icy drift]

Yes

[acoustic thicket]

thanks

[sudden trellis]

half of my gear is gone? is this a bug (yes I checked stash and last sold to vendor, they are not there)? and the other half is replaced with random stuff

[serene jewel]

Guys, years ago it was said that it would work in the distant future on making all classes not have just one gender. Does anyone know anything about this? He would be immensely interested in having a male necromancer even if he had to obtain it through micropayments.

[icy drift]

It might eventually become a thing but it's not a priority nor in the works right now basically, so if it does get implemented it'll be a while.

[quick crown]

how long was it since you last played? and if it was recently, did you drink any alcohol or take any substances before playing
alternatively, do you think your account have been hacked or been played on by someone else using your computer?

those are all things to consider before we can find out what happened

[icy drift]

There were some server hiccups recently but this would be super weird/unlikely unless the main save of your character got rolled back. Is your gear just gone or was it replaced by gear you used to use?

If you're sure that your gear is gone then you should report it using the ingame bug report tool, and if you want you can open a ticket through their support, but it's super unlikely they could get your items back if they're truly gone.

!support

[ripe brook]

Need a hand? Just head on down to https://support.lastepoch.com/ for support articles or to reach out to us directly.

[sudden trellis]

thanks for answers, I left a bug feedback ingame, also a simple relog fixed the issue. It seems you still have your items equipped but due to a visual bug you can't see them.

[icy drift]

Yeah like I said it's basically near impossible for items to actually disappear/get duped because of how the game works

I just assumed it might've been caused by a slight rollback since some servers were having issues yesterday and assume you had already relogged/verified files to check ^^

[quick crown]

question, if you seal an affix that is T6 or T7, is the item still exalted? or does it downgrade to a rare?

[icy drift]

should still be exalted i assume, idk if it'd work in the temporal sanctum though.

[toxic anvil]

If you remove a non exalted affix, it’s also exalted right?

[icy drift]

as long as the item has a tier 6 or above affix it's exalted

[desert tree]

I am guessing we are talking experimental affix?

[desert tree]

If you remove it, it's not exalted anymore

[toxic anvil]

Exalted haha not experimental

[desert tree]

Sorry miss read your message

[quick crown]

does this stat on an amulet mean that only i can apply it with my attacks or can my minions also do that?

[desert tree]

Does it says minion?

[quick crown]

it does not

can you not see the image?

[lunar holly]

it's only you

[surreal verge]

There's your answer.

[desert tree]

I can. But you seem to see it somewhere

[quick crown]

when did i ever say i saw that? i simply asked if the stat worked for both me and my minions, a global effect so to speak or if it was localised to me

[desert tree]

If it doesn't say minion it doesn't work for minions (exception with Manifest Armor and Forged Weapons)

Maybe I misinterpreted your tone. In that case I am sorry.

[fading wharf]

What is currently the strongest Warpath build?

[desert tree]

VK has more dmg, but Paladin Fire is tankier imo

[fading wharf]

So paladin fire will get you to higher corruption?

[desert tree]

Probably

[surreal verge]

It's a hard rule that unless an effect says "minion", it doesn't affect minions.

Ever.

No exceptions

[desert tree]

Manifest Armor and Forged Weapons disagree with you

[pastel pebble]

FG gets ignored once again SMH

[surreal verge]

Those are MINION exceptions not STAT exceptions-

[desert tree]

Julra Gloves?

[surreal verge]

Okay, those at least does say clearly, and are the exception

[pastel pebble]

Don't exist

[tidal vessel]

Am I missing any ranged masteries from this list?
Runemaster, Marksman, Sorcerer, Bladedancer, Druid, Lich, Void Knight, Beastmaster, Necromancer

Or are any of them no ranged?

[surreal verge]

Bladedancer is technically melee

Or hybrid

SO is VK

Beastmaster is melee/minion

[tidal vessel]

@surreal verge thanks. I'm looking to try out a ranged build where I sit back and just right click onto enemies and kill them without going in melee at all

[desert tree]

Bm can be played ranged with Tornado Crit

[surreal verge]

I like your funny words magic man (Tf?)

[desert tree]

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0j-tYRa0H-M

[desert tree]

You can play paladin self cast smite too

[tidal vessel]

thank you!

[toxic anvil]

are totems companions?

[surreal verge]

Wait

No

But totems are minions

[toxic anvil]

when do damage conversion nodes get taken into account? before or after added flat dmg of a certain type?

[surreal verge]

Before:Damage conversion normally only converts the base skill damage and change its tags

[toxic anvil]

it also converts flat damage added by the skill tree right?

[floral badge]

Not unless whatever is doing the conversion specifies that. I don't recall if there are any left that convert added damage, I think they're all just base damage now.

[toxic anvil]

oh, so literally any added source of dmg except "spell" damage is not converted?

[pearl girder]

Ok, I like this.

Is there an updated build on LastEpochTools or am I going to have to pause the video repeatedly to replicate this?

[desert tree]

There might be a planner in the description

[floral badge]

Correct, unless the conversion method says otherwise. Every conversion node I can think of off the top of my head specifies that the base damage is converted. Added/increased damage is generally never converted.

[surreal verge]

Yes.

[toxic anvil]

WAAIT

2 different answers here

[surreal verge]

Hm?

Hold on I'll double check

Oh he's right, those are exceptions rather than the norm

[floral badge]

Yeah, there might be a couple exceptions I'm not thinking of.

[toxic anvil]

im confused 🤣

[floral badge]

Like the Void Purifier node on Abyssal Echoes.

[surreal verge]

TLDR: Aceramic's right, but always double check the node.

[pearl girder]

There is but it differs from what's in the video

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/ZA8kxw5o

I have no idea which is more recent

[neon compass]

[desert tree]

This looks like an aspirational planner to me

[pearl girder]

Asperational planner, as in this is the goal for the build?

[desert tree]

Yep

[sudden trellis]

is there any other website other than lastepochtools where I can find lootfilters? the ones on there kinda suck

[surreal verge]

Make your own- (That's it, or maxroll when they are tied to guides)

[icy drift]

Why is that aspirational? It's just rares with a couple t6 exalts no?

Or I guess all planners are "aspirational" I assumed you were saying it was late endgame/not something you should really shoot for

[desert tree]

Given its not mine and I have not looked at the video since it first came out I am a bit blurry on the details.
I am guessing this is the stats you want

For more information on the build feel free to ping the content creator

@ perrythepig

[candid elm]

If you'd like to look at some guides on making filters, there's some basic general filters on the forums https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/0-9-2-heavyz-casual-loot-filters-for-all-classes-v3-1/25176
Which also includes some info on making a filter. There's also additional info on making filters on Maxroll https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/resources/loot-filter-guide and the maxroll build guides have filters for each build on the last page of the build guides. LE Tools also has some filters and a filter making tool https://www.lastepochtools.com/loot-filters/

[tidal vessel]

does this passive have any negative effects?

like is it bad that it doesn't give bonus to lightning damage shock chance with lightning skills? i'm not sure i understand how it works

the damage skills i'm using are lightning blast and static orb

[swift star]

A buddy and I are about to start playing, and we are trying to look into this "synergy" concept we've heard about, from a gear and class perspective... like some classes pair well together...
We are thinking about a bladedancer and a marskman rogue together. Will this provide a smooth playing experience, and how tradeable (from a stats perspective) will the gear be between the two? With the understanding that one will be focused on melee and the other on ranged weapons, what about the rest of the gear?

[icy drift]

Very hard to say tbh, but it doesn't really matter actually since you'll both be rogues so you'll both be dropping the same gear, the loot isn't so "smart" as to cater to your mastery.

[swift star]

so I'll get melee drops to hand over, they'll get ranged drops to hand over, and across the other gear, we'll get stuff that is more appropriate for each other than ourselves?

[surreal verge]

You’ll most likely be just mostly trading weapons and idlos since the other pieces are most likely generic good for all rogues

[sudden trellis]

is there a list or leak of what's coming and not coming in 1.0? I'm curious

[buoyant sinew]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/unofficial-roadmap-to-1-0-and-beyond/60203

[desert tree]

Dragon Mage and Dragon Breath are here to push you toward a multi element build.
Cast a fire spell get a bonus for your cold spell, etc...
Mirror Breath reverse that
Cast a fire spell and get a bonus for your lighting spell instead.

[sudden trellis]

cool

what's the best class/build right now for clearing monos fast and killing bosses quickly (or with lesser threat of dying)? smite paladin?

[hardy dock]

Any tips to fun builds for rogue/ranger or mage/sorc?

[sinful laurel]

The one you like playing the most

[sinful laurel]

Fuck Around and find out what you find fun

[balmy current]

TBF, that's not bad advice for life (depending on where you live)...

[faint cape]

The dragon passives have a particular "rotation" to them, this just changes the rotation. If you are using a single element build, you just don't want any of these passives because they do nothing for you.

[sterile widget]

If you live in a goat colony...

You better like goats

[sinful laurel]

Maybe not the best colony to fuck around and find out though

[sterile widget]

Unless you are Wengari

No judgement here if you wanna wear the skins of your enemy and celebrate victories with goat fornication

[sinful laurel]

Is that canon for the wengari lol?

[sterile widget]

We must fill the gaps.

[sinful laurel]

Put it in the wiki

Then it's official

[tidal vessel]

i'm using cold and lightning spells

so then i guess it's worth to keep?

[faint cape]

So then without Mirror Breath, the dragon passives make your lightning skills buff your cold skills. With Mirror Breath, your cold skills buff your lightning skills. It just depends on which bonus you want. It may or may not be worthwhile.

Usually I wouldn't recommend the dragon passives unless you're doing tri-ele stuff, in which case mirror breath is most likely pointless

[lime parrot]

Been levelling with a friend and wondered about monoliths. Do we both progress at the the same time or do we have to double our monolith progression.

[faint cape]

You will both progress at the same time - with the exception of corruption (which is not something to worry about until level 100 monoliths)

[swift star]

I noticed with multiple players, I cannot see my friends on the minimap unless we are close. Is there a way to change that so I can find my party members when we are severely separated?

[desert tree]

Anyone know what is the cooldown recovery speed formula?

[safe harness]

i think its something like cd / 1 + cdr

where cdr is in decimal form

but i dont actually know so can ignore

[fringe birch]

cooldown = base_cooldown / (1 + cdrs)

[safe harness]

Woo I was right

[desert tree]

Unfortunately for me ^^

It means at best Summon Bear can Swipe once every 2 sec

[cunning escarp]

can you lp items from rune of acdances?

[surreal verge]

Lower rates, but yes

[dull jewel]

Hello. New around. Was wondering how can i add a loot filter to my game because all the loot filters i find on the internet are docx/ pdf / txt , while the game only accepts xml files. If i put any other file in my loot filter folder it will not recognize them.. and i also don't know how to convert them without paying real cash to this converters websites

[storm blaze]

You can just copy the content and then open the loot filter thingy in game and paste it

[dull jewel]

Figured it out now. Thank you very much.

[desert tree]

I remember a cap on how much corruption you can get with Gazes. Anyone know ?

[faint cape]

I don't know if there is an actual cap or not, but you do get less per gaze the more gazes you have

[desert tree]

Okay

[cunning escarp]

Hi i need help
me and my friend have a bugged quest

we stuck on this and cant do anything to it

[desert tree]

Where are you ? Can you send a full screenshot ?

[cunning escarp]

says i need to go there imperial era 1005AG

i got speak with npc and sit on the telporter but dosnt complete the quest for me

[desert tree]

Clicking on the waypont doesnt progress you ?

[cunning escarp]

it puts me to the next place

but dosnt compelete the quest for me

am now level 70

and still have this quest my friends and I

[desert tree]

Even if the quest is not completed does it tp you to The Desert Waystation ?

[cunning escarp]

yep

just trying to get passed it so i can get my idoles and other stuff

[desert tree]

Can you not keep going ? You might hit another trigger for the questline and end up fine

[cunning escarp]

am level 70 now passed the campaign xD

[desert tree]

.......

I am not sure why it matters

[cunning escarp]

my idoels

cant get the rest of them

[desert tree]

You still want to progress the questline so you can get your idols right ?

[cunning escarp]

they are blocked behind that quest

[desert tree]

So keep moving foward. You might hit another trigger for the questline and end up fine

[cunning escarp]

okay

[desert tree]

Is there a cap for the base corruption a shade can give ? I have a feeling its +16

[quick crown]

idk about the formula but im pretty sure that 100% cooldown reduction is half the original cooldown, 200% is 25% of the original cooldown and 300% is 12.5% etc

[last kettle]

Is it a good enough shield to try to seal the T3 block effectiveness? I just can't find the seal scrolls so I tread carefully to spend them.

[wicked plover]

i personally prefer exalts with t6/7 prefixes
especially in your case where one would go for crit avoid anyways, crit dmg reduction is not crazy useful
if you have that huge of a ressource problem maybe just keep it like that, reroll values of affixes/implicit if they are low and wait for a better one

[last kettle]

thx, I didn't think about crit avoidance. I'll try to get another one 😄

[desert tree]

cooldown = base_cooldown / (1 + cdrs)

[quick crown]

when applying exalted stats on unique weapons, do they only check for 1-handed versus 2-handed or also if its a mace, sword, axe etc?
i checked the ingame guide but found no mention of this

[wicked plover]

item type has to match, 1h sword -> 1h sword and so on

[quick crown]

ah, fudge, ive been thinking it was enough to go for 1-handed and 2-handed, well guess i need to expand my stash even more, 1 tab for 1-handed mace, one tab for 1-handed swords etc

[surreal verge]

Exact type. 1h sword only accepts 1h sword

[wicked plover]

dont start hoarding, use a strict loot filter or you will be overrun with items in no time

[quick crown]

im trying to save exalted weapons that i find with 1 stat of each from each weapon type

like 1 exalted item with attackspeed, 1 exalted flat phys, 1 exalted %phys etc

so that i have a catalogue to pick from when i need one

[wicked plover]

sounds good if you are going for a phys build with your current char
what i always do is restrict loot filter to show only stats/item bases i would use on my current build and all t7 prefixes for items i dont want to use on that current build
thats super restrictive and i am on stash tab 8X right now ... so yea

[quick crown]

im not going for a phys build, i thought to build up a catalogue for any and all builds i might want to try

and yes, i have a lootfilter that filters out stats on rare items, but i have it always show all exalteds, uniques and set items as well as experimental items

i currently have like 18 or 19 stashtabs total

[wicked plover]

i did the exact same thing, so i have all items ready when i want to try smth out
but it gets out of control VERY fast
just be aware if you really need 10 staffs with t6 ele damage 😛

[toxic anvil]

How do monos work in multiplayer?

[faint cape]

I think +18, but it gets hard to get out that far just due to dead ends

[faint cape]

One person drives (picks the echoes off their own echo web) and everyone else gets a choice between 2 random echo rewards

[toxic anvil]

Random echo rewards?

[faint cape]

Yep, like imagine two echo islands generated at random and you get to pick which reward you want

[candid elm]

Like if the "driver" picks Swords, the "passengers" will get a choice between two random options, such as picking between Helmets or Boots.

It's so that if your Mage buddy is hunting every Staff echo, but your Rogue doesn't care about those, so you can get other stuff. As an example.

[toxic anvil]

Ohhh but only the echo map of the driver will be progressed?

[dusky kite]

they should not be locked behind that quest as idol slots are not awarded by main story quests. You need to do the side quests in the areas later on, which you say you have access to regardless

[lethal trellis]

Do minions proc Oceareon?

You can use this Checklist on LE Tools to see where both Idol Slots and Passive points can be acquired - LE Checklist - let me know if you aren't able to access any of the side quests further into the game than the bugged quest!

[sinful laurel]

No

[amber rain]

is the mana regen stat in the character sheet rounding up or down or something and the exact value isn't shown?

[cedar locust]

Quick search of the #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs channel brought up this - #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message - seems Mike won't give a yes/no or in this case up/down answer 😅

[amber rain]

huh ok, so when it says 15 mana regen it can be anywhere between 14,5 and 15,5 right

[surreal verge]

Yea, but mana regen is shittttttttttttttttt unless stacked in ridiculous amounts

[amber rain]

followup question: does 0 mana count as "out of mana" or does that start at -1?

[desert tree]

I think I have never seen my mana show 0

It's either - 1 or 1

[timber river]

Thinking of starting back up again soon have around 800 hours but connectivity issues have plagued me since runemaster patch. Is this still an issue or are people mostly able to stay connected lately?

[sinful laurel]

Still issues off and on

Depending on your region

[faint cape]

Correct. Others will still gain stability (and consume it in boss fights). Only the driver gets corruption.

The driver doesn't have to be party leader, either, you can swap driver every echo if you want. (It's just whoever opens the echo)

[sour flint]

Hello , i have a small question. I am on the verge of buying the game but i am curios about one thing . i like to play ( or try to play , kinda new to this genre of games) builds with big aoe's or archers builds that have a lot of arrows ussage ( i dont know if i explain this right sorry about it) . Is there something like this possible here or in general there is small density of mobs and this builds are not so viable? Sorry for the long rant and thank you in advance if someone can tell me if there is something like this or direct me to a video with some exemples

[wicked plover]

short answer, yes

you can have "archer" builds that aoe the whole screen, very strong and fun
there are a few different variations i found on youtube, you can just check "last epoch multishot" if you wanna see how it can look, but its very easy to just workout your own brew and helps learning the game alot

[sour flint]

I asked cause most of the videos i find are 4 months old and i dont know how the paches work here + i am kinda bad on this games but looked fun and wanted to try

[wicked plover]

there are no insane meta shifts unless we get HUGE patches, which wasnt the case for a while, next big change will be end of february with 1.0 release

dont worry you will be fine, even if you have no exp with arpgs, if you dont mind reading what stuff does its pretty straight forward and logical

[sour flint]

ok thank for the help ❤️

[toxic anvil]

Can a sealed affix be put onto a unique?

[sinful laurel]

Yes

Oh wait wait. No

Sorry was thinking experimental

[toxic anvil]

Ah ok

So sealed is removed from the pool?

[surreal verge]

Yeah it is ignored.

It doesn't even count as the 4 affix reqirement

[toxic anvil]

Got it

How do glyphs of chaos work?

Like keep the affix level?

[desert tree]

+1 lvl and random affix (even the ones you don't have)

[toxic anvil]

Ah ok

So trash 🤣

[sinful laurel]

No

[desert tree]

It's the safest/least expensive way to change an affix

But in return you have no control

[toxic anvil]

Haha true I forgot about that

Still uses FP right?

[desert tree]

Yep

[toxic anvil]

👍

[vocal plank]

Does "Heart of Rime" and "Eviscerating Howl" stack to make 15 frostbite stacks per warcry?

[desert tree]

Can you post the nodes?

And the conversion node please

[vocal plank]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/warcry/nodes
Can't link the individual nodes because searching them just brings me to the node list for the skill. Conversion node is "Jormun's Wrath"

Because based on wording, it says bleed turns into frostbite and you get 5 with Howl

[desert tree]

Yeah they should

[vocal plank]

Warcry only meme build anyone?

[desert tree]

If you have Warcry as a totem it will cast Warcry a few times

3 iirc

Up to 4 with some cdr/cast speed

[vocal plank]

Yea I do. I'm currently using a totem build and wanted to figure it out because meme builds are fun to think about

Because with stacking CDR/cast speed, and minion/totem damage I could just warcry my way to victory

[desert tree]

Druid?

Dw Apogee

[vocal plank]

Why druid when Shaman gives me buffs for having totems and more totem buffing nodes. Also since totem casts warcry does "Whirlpool" go off since I'm not casting it myself?

I guess the first time since I would be casting it for the totem to come ou

[desert tree]

YOU get maelstroms once

[vocal plank]

Yea I realized what it means once I read it a bit better

[desert tree]

Druid got Werebear. Gives you tankiness + totem cast speed + minion dmg (200% every time you maul)

[vocal plank]

Herm

[desert tree]

And on passive there is minion cold pen, minion Inc cold dmg, minion frostbite chance

And all the good defensive stuff

[vocal plank]

And more frostbite chance which is how I plan to stack the damage

[desert tree]

Do you want to move down to #🐺┃primalist?

[vocal plank]

True let's do that so we aren't spamming this channel.

[balmy current]

I've just had 5 Sigil of Hope's proc in a row. I, for one, welcome our new RNG overlords...

[wicked plover]

i know % pen is less effective if you have shred for that dmg type, but how bad is it really, am i trolling myself by using both or is it "just" okay

[faint cape]

It's not less effective, they just stack additively. You can stack pen a lot higher than shred, so in builds like frostbite where they use Snowdrift to get like 500% penetration, shred will be pretty negligible.

[quick shadow]

while making 2nd hero, I have to do all story, quests etc once again?

unlock idols and so on ?

[wicked plover]

alright ty, so having pen on amulet + 40% resist shred should go pretty well together, since both are comparetively low

[faint cape]

Yes. You don't have to finish the campaign, though. You can jump to monoliths as soon as you reach End of Time.

[quick shadow]

ok, so no short path, that after creating hero I can just farm exp 😦

[faint cape]

Yeah, at that low of numbers, stacking additively is not a huge impact

[wicked plover]

running through campaign maps is alot more chill than poe for example, very similar to monoliths anyways

[quick shadow]

ok 🙂

[faint cape]

Right. They do plan on expanding our options to make it faster (you can currently use leveling uniques/legendaries to speed it up), but no plans for a full skip.

[quick shadow]

ok thank you 🙂

[cunning escarp]

nhh i can access the others without a problem just having it there is annoying ill look at LE checklist

[quick shadow]

and last one newbie question for today 😄
while in party - I see on the ground only my part of loot?
I dont want to "steal" items

[icy drift]

@balmy current they're talking about how it supposedly only doesn't work when channeled or triggered by anathor skill, nothing about an item triggering it. The wording needs to be updated.

[icy drift]

Yes , loot is instanced

[quick shadow]

nice 🙂 thx

[icy drift]

Np

[balmy current]

Yes, and that's why it's less effective. Going from 0% to 1% (pen or shred) gives you 1% more damage, going from 50% to 51% (ie, max shred stacks & 1% pen, or just 50% pen) is significantly less than 1% more (or I should probably say incremental) damage.

[desert tree]

Do you write "anathor" on purpose ?

[balmy current]

Please say yes.

[icy drift]

I did not, but it doesn't really matter does it?

[desert tree]

Not really, every time I see it I think of LOTR

[icy drift]

Ah

Another ^^

[icy drift]

That doesn't really make it less "effective" it's still doing exactly the same thing, the damage resulting from it just has diminishing returns, semantics and nitpicking I know ^^

[desert tree]

https://tenor.com/view/theoden-king-ride-gif-27448412

[crisp violet]

hey do you guys know if theres an option to set loot to only be picked up while holding a button like PoE? The item popup makes it really annoying when I'm fighting a horde and theres a bunch of loot

[faint cape]

It still provides exactly the same amount of damage.

Just a lower total %, but yeah that's what's implied by stacking additively

[icy drift]

@fair maple what do you mean by bugged?

[fair maple]

I heard some of the stats arent showing up correctly

[icy drift]

That's not true

Afaik at least

[fair maple]

Im pretty sure my crit chance is higher than 0

[icy drift]

Do you have a singularity on?

[fair maple]

I have many items adding more crit

[icy drift]

Look at your idols

Do you have a singularity on?

[fair maple]

Ahhh

I probably

[icy drift]

^^

[fair maple]

Hahaha good call ☺️

[icy drift]

Np

[whole wave]

for version 1, online charcater are going to reset or they going to stay?

[wide sentinel]

stay

[toxic anvil]

ah so new league will pop up and we can create chars there?

[faint cape]

Yep, similar to PoE leagues, current characters become Legacy, and once the new cycle releases, we'll be able to make either Legacy or Cycle characters

And when the cycle ends, all chars are moved to Legacy

[toxic anvil]

so chars that existed in diff cycles will be together in legacy?

what about stash?

[faint cape]

Everything moves to Legacy (if it's not already there, of course)

Stash will most likely move as "remove only" tabs

[toxic anvil]

goot it

[pearl girder]

Do we know anything about Warlock yet?

[icy drift]

We know it's not void based

[buoyant sinew]

we have this image and know it doesn't have void damage as a theme. I think that's it?

[toxic anvil]

Can leveling affixes change the level requirements of an item?

[buoyant sinew]

absolutely, though it won't let you do a craft that leaves the item too high a level to equip

[analog wadi]

does the bug report in game post screenshots from clipboard when selected?

[icy drift]

No, it takes one of the game

[analog wadi]

you mean the current screen when bug report is opened up?

[icy drift]

Yes

Obviously not including the bug report tool itself

[analog wadi]

cool thanks

[dense ravine]

Hi all, does earthquake aftershock count as dot damage?

[misty helm]

do enemies have enough regen for the regen part of damned to be a non-zero?

as in, if I have zero necro/dot dmg increase, is the ailment alone have value?

[icy drift]

No

[swift star]

when will resonance be added to the game, is that 1.0 feature?

[surreal verge]

There's a button that turns off item tooltips on the floor, alt+z

[pearl girder]

So Warlock will get added to the game less than a month before release?

[safe harness]

No, that’s when they start teasers for warlock

The new classes will be in 1.0

[pearl girder]

So will they just be new Master Classes or will there be new basic classes as well?

And is Acolyte the only class without 3 Master Classes?

[surreal verge]

Rogue is missing falconner

So far they want to give 3 subclasses to every class first.
Then they mentioned probably making new subclasses first rather than making new base classes.

[sudden trellis]

can I farm Ranger's Belt with +6 volatile zombies mod on my mage or do I have to farm it with Lich?

[desert tree]

Summon Zombie experimental is a random mage drop

Everyone can have it

I am curious why you want it on mage though

[unreal hinge]

He only wants to farm it on mage

[sudden trellis]

yeap, I'll make a zombie nuker lich

[icy drift]

Yea you can get it on any class

[sudden trellis]

is there specific things I can farm for it or is it a complete random drop

[surreal verge]

RNG

[icy drift]

Only drops from exiled mages, but yeah otherwise just RNG

[sudden trellis]

cool, thanks!

[misty helm]

I think I may have been misunderstanding this one.
Is it:
[only] the highest one is used, no other effects kill thresholds trigger,
or all of the effects use the highest percent for their own criteria?

[desert tree]

The latter

[misty helm]

not the best capture of it, but easily my fav visual effect in the game. anyone have one they like more?

[desert tree]

Glyph of Dominion

The fire one

[sudden trellis]

is "The Shattered Cycle" usable with Hydrahedron build?

[faint cape]

If you convert it to DOT, yes. Otherwise, no.

[desert tree]

If you find a way to proc a single rune then 2 runes, yes

[analog wadi]

is uncapped resistance all of that resistance or all of the resistance above 75?

[toxic echo]

Whatever the number is inside the ( ) under it

[surreal verge]

All

[toxic anvil]

Any way to tell what it’ll change to? And I assume putting an affix on a unique won’t change lvl requirements?

[cedar locust]

The Lore Notes are a fave of mine 😊

[cedar locust]

You can't craft Uniques, they have 0FP, though if one has LP you can use them to create Legendary Items by combining them with an Exalted Item. The level requirement of the new Legendary should match the level of the Unique you used iirc

[icy drift]

Correct, using the eternity cache to turn a unique into a legendary item will retain the unique items req level.

[surreal verge]

Nope,legendary crafting ignores the affix level requirement, just the class requirement if any

[wicked plover]

thats why you can have pog lvling items with late game stats on a freshly created chars

[crisp violet]

do you guys know of any lore videos for this game yet?

[cedar locust]

Yep! This player started a Lore series on Youtube - https://youtu.be/jPNTA3C3s68

[crisp violet]

Thank you so much

[analog wadi]

are "enemies have a chance to dodge" modifiers supposed to stack? if so whats the chance to dodge that one adds?

[desert tree]

Depends on your corruption I think

You can check on tunklabs

[analog wadi]

i guess its unknown

all i know is i just found out it stacks haha

[native sail]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/dodge plug into here

[toxic anvil]

what's max block chance?

[native sail]

100%

[analog wadi]

can this be right? 50% dodge chance at area lvl 99

[native sail]

It's quite literally datamined

[toxic anvil]

is this reasonably attainable?

[native sail]

So

[sinful laurel]

Yes

[toxic anvil]

and worth going for?

[native sail]

Depends on your idea of reasonable. It requires farming out LP shields and slamming them.

[sinful laurel]

Yes

[toxic anvil]

ah ok

[sinful laurel]

If it's a block centered build

And that's a defense layer you want to invest in

[toxic anvil]

block centered builds exist?

[sinful laurel]

Yes

[toxic anvil]

beyond just wanting another def layer?

[runic sedge]

I mean its a pretty strong defense layer, and getting 100% block makes it very reliable

its powerful enough to be worth a lot of investment

[sinful laurel]

You just have to increase your block effectiveness if you really want to use it properly

But yes it can work quite well

[toxic anvil]

goot it

are there any triggerd on block skills, etc?

[runic sedge]

theres a few passives here and there to trigger stuff on block, but nothing major afaik

[sinful laurel]

if you're asking whether you can make a solely block focused build, no

[analog wadi]

so enemies have a chance to dodge doesnt scale with corruption right?

[toxic anvil]

so just defense layer then?

and its strong because it affects all hits?

[native sail]

Nope

[toxic anvil]

regadless of dmg type

[native sail]

You're safe to scale corr with it

[analog wadi]

thanks

[toxic anvil]

so 100 is just max for scaling then?

[faint cape]

For dodge yes, level 100 is max enemy scaling. For block chance, yeah over 100% does nothing (you just want block effect at that point).

[toxic anvil]

if I consume my sigils with judgement, will the consecrated ground have increased healing effectiveness from the healing rites node in the sigils tree?

[toxic anvil]

also if I have +100% fire pen when channeling warpath, do I have enough time to immediately cast judgement and get the fire pen benefits on consecrated ground?

or can I cast ground, then start channeling warpath and get the pen (I assume no)

[sinful laurel]

Any effects from warpath stop immediately when stopping the channel, unless explicitly stated they have a duration

[toxic anvil]

and consecrated ground snapshots ALL increases to stats and pen?

[sinful laurel]

And judgement to consecrated ground will snapshot any buffs you have at the time of casting

[toxic anvil]

shoot so basically no 🤣

[sinful laurel]

So unless you can cast while channeling warpath, no

[toxic anvil]

also, any good ways to scale consecrated ground and another ability without crit?

[sinful laurel]

Well consecrated ground doesn't hit so I hope you aren't building crit

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

And we talked about this. All the ways to scale it are in the description

[toxic anvil]

im trying to find a skill to do something with in the meanwhile

idk if I can 100% rely on it for ALL of my dps

mostly a skill to regen mana

like warpath, etc

[sinful laurel]

Why are you not using volatile reversal? It's like ready made to pair with this type of play

Spend it all, get it all back

[toxic anvil]

i am 100% considering that, but I can's stack auras right?

if not, id just take a movement skill and regen the mana another way

[sinful laurel]

Stack auras? What?

[toxic anvil]

stack consecrated ground auras?

[sinful laurel]

Idk if they can stack, doesn't say they can't, but if you are just trying to regain mana pack to pack, volatile reversal is a no brainer

[toxic anvil]

yeah i was looking at it, sadly means I lose a movement skill

since im alsu taking holy aura

does the shelter from the storm node actually increase endurance threshhold or just endurance?

[sinful laurel]

Well you need a traversal skill. This game without one is kinda rough

[toxic anvil]

ah true, just trying to find a way to stick ALL of these in lol

judgement, sigils, holy aura, mana regen/mana regen+dmg skill?, traversal

[sinful laurel]

Yeah idk your whole setup and again I'm not an expert in paladin, there might be some clever way for mana regain I don't know

[toxic anvil]

right yeah

[sinful laurel]

Posting your ideal planner in sentinel channel is probably the best way to go, asking for some direct guidance and help

[toxic anvil]

i can regen mana with reversal, any of the attack skills, etc

aight sounds gud

[sinful laurel]

Also fyi. Pretty sure this exact build exists online in several different variations

If you want some inspiration

[runic sedge]

also worth noting, volatile reversal belongs in every single sent build, its too strong to pass up because of the damage buff it can provide
