Warcry for exemple

[polar holly]

i feel bastion of honour is not very consistent in mitigating? how big is 4m anyway?

[desert tree]

See the circle around the furthest left dummy in the arena?

That's 6m

[polar holly]

that's so small

[desert tree]

I can send a screen after work if you remind me/I remember

[crude jewel]

only was looking for heal myself threw companions hit no buffs for minions or other stuff (thats just bonus ^^)

[crude jewel]

then i would have one less slot for companion ^^, i play a zoo build, i have all sloted (besides crow) and dont atk xD

[native sail]

It used to be 8m and didn't require strength stacking.

[polar holly]

yeah this does not feel good tbh

[native sail]

Invest in a Cradle tbh

It's just better

[desert tree]

8?
I knew 6 but never seen 8

[native sail]

Maybe misremembering due to it just being listed as "nearby" previously

[swift star]

is it a visual bug that on the map, "The Fortress Gardens" has the icon indicating it should have a waypoint, but after clearing the zone, I can confirm there is no waypoint?

like, a bug to update the map icon or something?

[cedar locust]

The waypoint is at the very start of the Map

[desert tree]

There is one?

[cedar locust]

Wait - that's a transition zone. Let me go check!

[cedar locust]

Known bug! The Map is wrong, the team are aware and it's on the QA teams queue!

It's been a long day 😅

[swift star]

Awesome, thanks for the response 😄

[cedar locust]

You're welcome! Apologies for the mistake!

[faint cape]

It's one of those bugs that was fixed, and then reappeared in the next major update

[swift star]

No worries, take a break 😄 I just didn't see anything about the fortress gardens on the bug list, and thought maybe I am misinterpreting the map indicators

[swift star]

It's a "bonus feature"

[cedar locust]

Not long left, and I'm deep in log reports xD Brain not going brrrrrrrr at usual speeds xD

[faint cape]

The light at the end of the tunnel!

[amber void]

does anyone know if there's a known bug related to the stash category?
i deleted a category, and for some reason it moved ALL the tabs from a totally different category to the category above

[misty helm]

i get that bug a lot, not 100% sure what triggers it. it does resolve with a logout and in. something about the stash files locally mismatch game data or such after a change. i get it when making, renaming, or deleting a category.

[toxic anvil]

Where are the dummies lol?

[amber void]

champions arena, divine era

if you have the arena key, you can right click and it will show you the location

[toxic anvil]

Ahhh ok

Thx man

[misty helm]

rough estimate on what corruption has bosses of same hp as t4 julra?

i never can find enemy ho numbers and i wish those calculations or interface was more transparent.

hp*

[toxic anvil]

t4?

[misty helm]

dungeons have 4 tiers/difficulty

julra is last boss of temporal sanctum

[toxic anvil]

ohh ok got it

and dungeon's rewards cycle?

[native sail]

The end rewards don't but every dungeon has a daily modifier that gives more of a particular type of item throughout the dungeon that cycles

[toxic anvil]

ah so that affects drop rate of enemies in the dungeon?

[native sail]

Yeah

[desert tree]

I think somewhere between 250 and 350 c. But number varies a lot in regards of the mods you take

[faint cape]

Also varies by boss, but that data isn't really available and their relative multipliers are not listed on the miners' sites

[toxic anvil]

can u really run a hit build without crit?

even the unique relic that gives 20% more dmg doesn't seem worth

[icy drift]

You can, doesn't make it a good idea :p

[toxic anvil]

lmaooo thought so

[icy drift]

They've said that they're looking into making non CRIT hit builds more viable but they don't just wanna buff singularity to the point where going CRIT is dumb on abilities that don't specifically synergize with it

[toxic anvil]

yeah one single thing there doesn't make sense, but a more distributed way to build it would be nice

feels really forced at this point and I really don't like it 🤣

I end up sticking to dot and ailment builds because I really dont wanna build crit

also crit makes it feel really generic

always take crit nodes, etc

[icy drift]

I mean unless you have really high CRIT multi or something you don't need to go for 100% crjt

[toxic anvil]

yeah ik lol just feels forced

[icy drift]

Just 20% CRIT chance with 200% CRIT multi (default) is as good as a singularity DPS wise

[toxic anvil]

yep

[icy drift]

And 20% CRIT chance is basically no investment

So idk how it's forced, you can basically just ignore it altogether if you want

[toxic anvil]

i mean for optimal dmg

[icy drift]

It's just that CRIT has a higher cap for DPS right now, and it should

[toxic anvil]

building crit is pretty good idea

[swift star]

Alright, so I stabalized my first monolith thingy and did the three quests (fought the abomination guy)... it looks like I can still do this monolith, but the stability reset. So I can just do every single node in this monolith, then be done with it? Or is this where I can work toward the outside and find a node to reset the whole thing? I con't see a corruption value on it, so I don't know if I made it more difficult or not by defeating the Abomination the first time...

[icy drift]

Uhh

You should go to the next monolith

Don't stay in that one

Go to the black sun

[toxic echo]

Once you finish the quest on normal, move on to the next timeline. Rinse and repeat until empowered. Never try to do all the echoes (even on empowered). There are hundreds

[icy drift]

Depends, on some skill that don't have any flat CRIT on their tree or crit synergy it can be suboptimal to go CRIT

[swift star]

gothcha, thanks

[icy drift]

But it's still better than singularity

[toxic anvil]

yeah im with u there, just saying we need a few more options than singularity, and "oh wait its bad" 🤣

[icy drift]

Btw the reason CRIT is capitalized is because my phone keeps autocorrecting it into being that way idk why lol

[toxic anvil]

lmaooo

[pastel pebble]

Turn crit chance or crit multi into chance to or whatever

Idk

[misty helm]

crit multi is what makes crit scale so hard

[icy drift]

D4 is that you

[toxic anvil]

or give us a few nodes like the idk one in the poe tree where u dont crit and get another MORE multi

[pastel pebble]

We're speaking crit alternatives

[misty helm]

yeah, thats why I mentioned what is making it so geometric

[icy drift]

That just sounds like critting without critting

[toxic anvil]

why does it scale so hard lol

[misty helm]

if you want an alternative, you need something that can scale the same

[toxic anvil]

i mean the entire point of crit is another multi man

[pastel pebble]

Penetration

[toxic anvil]

more pen nodes would be cool yeah lmao

does crit multi scale that fast?

[misty helm]

crit chance and crit multi scale off each other. other versions of 'more' dmg dont have that interplay

they just all relate to your %increase basically

[toxic anvil]

im not sure I understand there

[icy drift]

In reality it's all the same suik

[toxic anvil]

^

they scale with each other and then the %inc

so same thing

[misty helm]

na

[toxic anvil]

only diff is one NEEDS the other to function

[icy drift]

They're all more multipliers, it just looks like the crit multi makes CRIT chance better, bit it'd be the same as getting any more multi

[misty helm]

I can come back to this convo once I make the dps calculator I want with stat weights and such

[toxic anvil]

crit chance enables the crit multi

so u need one muti to enable another, which then multiplies by the whole dmg value like any other more value

[misty helm]

now, try and make a similar statement for any other multiplier. the fact that the extra interaction exists affects the balance of them, hence the super scaling atm

[toxic anvil]

are u saying that the extra investment made them scale up the crit multi?

which if so i agree

[misty helm]

for anyone that has ever made a dps calculator for poe-esque games, the crit is always the outlier because of the system its predicated on

[toxic anvil]

i just dont like the presence of that kind of outlier

chance to up damage is something that is just extra work

that you'll do anyways cause u want more dps

[icy drift]

50% crit with 200% multi on 1 hit per second doing 100 DMG would be 150 DPS.

50% CRIT with 200% multi and anathor 20% more multi on 1 hit per second doing 100 DMG would be 180 DPS

50% CRIT with 260% multi on 1 hit per second doing 100 DMG would be 180 DPS

Basically in this case you'd need 60% multi to overcome an extra layer of 20% more

[sinful laurel]

Maaaaaath

[icy drift]

You can play around with CRIT multi and CRIT chance all you want

They're both just more multis

[misty helm]

the autocorrect makes me giggle

[icy drift]

And you never want to scale one more multi too much

[misty helm]

this is where I leave this convo for now

[icy drift]

Thats fine

[toxic anvil]

yeah im good with it cyborg, I just with we didn't have one multi that enabled another

[misty helm]

I dont disagree with you, just dont think i'm presenting my contribution to convo well

[toxic anvil]

as opposed to just a multi

[icy drift]

Yup

[toxic anvil]

and some dmg types missing out on it, which is fine, as long as they have their own

[icy drift]

Because you have CRIT chance you can have he multi

[toxic anvil]

which some dont

ya

[icy drift]

Without chance you can't get the multi

[toxic anvil]

yeye

[icy drift]

So it's a two in one deal

[toxic anvil]

makes sense, just seems kinda annoying to me lmao

[icy drift]

But in reality it's just the CRIT multi that's the more multiplier

[toxic anvil]

yye I completely understand

[icy drift]

And CRIT chance is a 0-1 multiplier on it

[toxic anvil]

the chance part is a pain for me, since when ur not at 100% ur dps is not consistent

close to yeah, but that's investement for good, stable dps

which i dislike

[swift star]

When I get to the Age of Winter timeline, I can stabilize it and fight Heorot... keep stabalizing it and fight him over and over... then when I reach the timeline reset thing, I can rinse and continue to repeat? That would be how the mechanics would work if I wanted to say... farm Reign of Winter?

[toxic anvil]

also shoot i gotta go, id love to pick this up later tho 🙂

[misty helm]

exactly

if by timeline reset you are refering to the edge nodes taht reset the map and increase corruption

[swift star]

awesome, thanks... the monoloth thing is simple but also not simple 😄 Or I might be slow...

yeah, that thing

[misty helm]

farming monolith bosses is much slower on lower corruption

[swift star]

and for non-empowered, max corruption is 50?

[misty helm]

because stability is tied to corruption

[sinful laurel]

To be clear, don't repeatedly farm timelines until you get to empowered

[misty helm]

correct

and yes, rule of thumb is that if you cant handle empowered, you should be doing a diff build, and normal monos are such a waste of time that I cam confused as to why they exist

[swift star]

is there a way to reduce corruption? Like if it starts to get out of hand for a timeline...

[sinful laurel]

Yes

[misty helm]

yes, when teh map resets

the first node attached is an option to reduce it

lol, sitting here at the end of sanctum and almost logged out before using cache

[swift star]

So I have these equipped... and my health stopped going down at 249. .08*249 = 19.92... shouldn't I still be losing health?

[misty helm]

health regen

[swift star]

or does it level out because it matches my health regen

thanks

[sinful laurel]

No. Because it's a % of current health gained and lost, it reaches an equilibrium

[swift star]

is something like that even worth using? how useful is ward?

[misty helm]

the ward part will be affected by ward retention, I can find a link for yoa on that

[sinful laurel]

It's the single most OP thing in the game right now

[sinful laurel]

But you don't do it until you're ready for it

[swift star]

that is quite a bit of ward

[misty helm]

its one of the viable survival methods

[swift star]

I have a whopping total of 86

[sinful laurel]

That's actually like 1/3 or less of what's possible on certain builds

[swift star]

wow

[sinful laurel]

Some memes can even go significantly higher

[misty helm]

yeah, that golem with dragon relic is insane

and fairly legit/not broken

[sinful laurel]

Even my spellblade without twisted heart and without LL sits at about 5k ward in combat

[misty helm]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ward
if you ever wanna get nerdy with graphs on ward and such

go back to his general menu and there is a whole plethora of nerdy graphs. I highly recommend the EHP one at least once

yeah, thats just me chillin at the cache, but I dont really get much higher in combat with this current setup

I really enjoy the moment after you kill a huge boss with the acolyte relic quipped

[warm yew]

Does anyone know off-hand how long Tornadoes actually last?

[misty helm]

and see the ward bars just become a set of ||||||||||

pshh, | | | |

[sinful laurel]

Spoilers bro.

[swift star]

not sure my rogue leveling build is geared for ward 😄

[sinful laurel]

Not yet

But low life rogue is insanely strong

Just, like I said, you don't transition to it until you have the pieces in place

[misty helm]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/tornado
you'd think it would show here. idk, but I ahvent played shaman.

I recommend asking the primalist channel if no one responds

[warm yew]

Seems to be a common question that goes unanswered.

[misty helm]

lame. if I had a shaman I would stopwatch it for ya. 😉

[warm yew]

I have one, but am already so deep into my cruising zone that's it's just curiosity, not a theorycraft number to find.

[swift star]

If I am setting up a filter and choose to recolor/emphasize something, will that also count as "show" for it, or do if I would otherwise be hiding something, do I need a rule to show it, and a rule to recolor it?

[faint cape]

4 seconds

[toxic echo]

Just the recolor/emp is fine.

[warm yew]

Thanks, Toast

[swift star]

for filters, what quality does an experimental item count as?

[desert tree]

Experimental

It can be rare experimental or exalted experimental

[misty helm]

magic even

I ended up just doing a separate rule for them, they are a little bit of a pain imo

[misty helm]

once you start using glyphs of insight you also have to make some strange filters if you want to parse out items that can craft good experimentals

[desert tree]

You should look at Affixes

[misty helm]

O.o

who we talking to?

[desert tree]

Sorry that wa for Fish

Experirmental is not really a rarity but a type of affixes in the Lootfilter

[misty helm]

hehe, I was being a twerp, no worries

yeah, took like 5 times going through loot filters to finally understand things like personal and experimental

and that idols and to be treated seperate

[faint cape]

Just btw, you can rename your rules, that way you don't have to remember what each of those is supposed to do

[misty helm]

I sued to do that

but then I wouldnt modify them when I changed builds and just assumed they were accurate

so I have to leave them default to cover th eprsonal fail

[faint cape]

Ah yeah, that's no good 😅

[misty helm]

prob rand about 100 echos before I realized the item I was hoping for was being blocked by filter

never again

[faint cape]

I need organization, force of habit from making too many mistakes.... here's the start of my generic filter for comparison lol

[misty helm]

1 sec arena map

[faint cape]

I can probably delete aaron's will now, I finally got one of those not too long ago lol

[misty helm]

oooo

I like the headers

gonna steal that

[faint cape]

Every bit helps!

[misty helm]

I was sorta doing that with putting things above/below hide

I havent done recolors yet

but I might start using them when I do a pass at filters to add hidnig certain uniques

what was the dev reasoning for not allowing LP in filters?

I also think I will be able to start using renaming again once I decide to brach out to other classes

[faint cape]

I mainly use the colors for salvaging purposes, so I know what to shatter/remove, and then also for T7s and the big rare uniques

[swift star]

howw do you target specific unique items in your filter?

[faint cape]

Basically just so you have to look at the uniques that drop

[icy drift]

This man has comments as rules wtf

that's next level

[faint cape]

By item subtype, and level if needed

[misty helm]

yeah, shattering on pickup would be a nice increase in productivity for me. instead of having to remember that I ahve some shatter rules when I look at a piece and be like this is garbage

[icy drift]

i like it though, very nice toast

[misty helm]

very painfully and as a last resort of frustration. def wtb it easier in future

[swift star]

when i choose bow as the item type, I don't have the option to choose Reign of Winter as a subtype

[faint cape]

This is RV, it has a special item subtype which makes it easy

Red ring is a bit harder since several uniques share its subtype (silver ring)

So you discriminate by level req in that case - it takes 2 rules to highlight uniques that are not higher/lower level than all other uniques on the subtype, and you can't tell the difference between two uniques on the same subtype with the same level req (as far as I know)

[swift star]

So, Reign of Winter is a longbow... if I choose that subtype... then add all 5 affixes and require all 5, it will be guaranteed to be a Reign of Winter right?

[faint cape]

No, uniques don't have real affixes

[swift star]

boo

[misty helm]

oo, ty for these. will help jumpstart my efforts when I get around to adding them

[desert tree]

Reign of Winter is a boss drop anyway, so unless you kill Heorot it will not drop

[faint cape]

Reign is a level 70 longbow, so if you filter for a unique longbow above level 69, it'll be a reign of winter since the other longbow uniques are lower level

[swift star]

like that?

[faint cape]

but yeah, as Vlad pointed out, it's a 50% drop from Heorot, so you'll know when it drops

gotta do above 69, since it's exactly 70

but otherwise yeah, it should work (might need to get rid of the character level dependency thing)

[void stream]

Hi, I have a piece of gear with + 2 to summon wolf..is this even useful? I can't see anywhere what it actually improves. Thanks!

[desert tree]

It gives you 2 skill points for the skill Summon Wolf

[void stream]

OH that would make sense! thank you 😄

[swift star]

wwhen the rule name auto-generates it says ">=70"

[faint cape]

Oh interesting, then maybe it'll work

The next highest longbow unique is drelkor's, which is level 64, so you don't lose out by lowering the number a bit

[swift star]

I'll set it to 69 until I have one... then see if it stays good if I change the rule to 70

[faint cape]

For science!

[swift star]

Indeed!

[misty helm]

trend continues. I just blindly run at them it seems

[icy drift]

everyone dies to wengari axe throwers the most

[misty helm]

comforting

is there a way to identify which shade you are fighting before the fight?

[icy drift]

no

[misty helm]

some of them I get the visual cues backwards of in then out or out than in (brain cant tell diff between a cue and a queue)

pie dance is simple enough I dont have to pre-think it

[swift star]

i wish you could copy rules from a filter and paste them into a new one, instead of just doing entire filter sets

[late shoal]

Why am I having issues loading echoes? just started today/this morning.

[sinful laurel]

Asked and answered

[hot charm]

having some trouble with immortal empire quest, says to speak to gaspar in end of time but quest doesnt progress when i do, alrdy chose my secondary class. relogged a few times nothing yet

[icy drift]

Try verifying your files

[swift star]

once I have all of my passives, and my skills are at lvl 100... what is the benefit per level? Do stats increase or something like that?

[toxic echo]

Nothing. But if you respec skills lower than lvl 20, still need a way to get xp to get them back

[swift star]

at player lvl 100, do the skills have a minimum lvl of 20?

[toxic anvil]

should be?

[buoyant sinew]

skill minimum level never goes higher than 10

but levelling from 10 to 20 in empowered monos takes like 5 minutes

so it's irrelevant

[toxic anvil]

oh I had no idea lol

[buoyant sinew]

it's only done this way to discourage switching out your points before a boss

or similar things

[toxic anvil]

what is it per 5 levels?

[buoyant sinew]

cause that would be aids gameplay

[toxic anvil]

1 skill min level?

[polar holly]

how rare is the red ring of atlaria?

i haven't found one ever

[glacial ocean]

so i was followng a craft video to get a zombie cycler belt going and the dude claimed that the zombie experimental would be on gear of required level 36+. i used it on a belt with level requirement of 60 and it gave me the ward one

so how do i craft a zombie on potion use belt, what do i look for in a belt to make sure ig et that experimental affix?

[swift star]

are uniques dropped inside of the monolith not tradeable?

[toxic anvil]

tradeable?

[swift star]

I got a Merophage in this run, and I can't trade it/gift it to my friend who did the echo with me

[toxic anvil]

as far as I know u can't craft experimental affixes?

[toxic anvil]

did they die?

[swift star]

no, and it wasn't the echo reward, just dropped inside the echo

[toxic anvil]

oh thats weird 🤣

[swift star]

yeah, they got one on the same run and it wasn't giftable either, but a different unique that dropped was

[toxic anvil]

yeah taht's just weird

idk man lol

[polar holly]

how does bastion of honour's block mechanic work against damage over time? does it give me 100% block chance against dot?

[toxic anvil]

u cant block dot

[native sail]

Rarest unique in the entire game.

[glacial ocean]

that is what glyph of insight is for...

[manic python]

what does "Ward" means?

[toxic anvil]

oh im just dumb lol

[polar holly]

is staff considered melee 2 hander for the purpose of titan heart?

[faint cape]

Yes. All weapons are technically melee weapons except for bows.

[faint cape]

Ward is like temporary health, it takes damage before your health does

[polar holly]

is there any reason for not going titan heart then? it seems way too strong

[faint cape]

It's only a defensive item and only works for 2h. Also getting regen disabled is a little annoying lol

It's very good at what it does, but I rarely play 2h builds (not for lack of wanting)

Also might be partly due to low life meta, competes with exsang

[swift star]

can Rune of Removal yoink the purple affix off an exotic?

[faint cape]

Yes, and if you remove all T6+ affixes from an item, it loses its purple status

[toxic anvil]

why are there 3 lvl 90 timelines lol?

[polar holly]

complete those 3 and you unlock secret ending

[toxic anvil]

LMAO

so empowered?

i have to do all 3? 😭

[polar holly]

yeah, on every new characters too

[toxic anvil]

NOOOOO lol

[pastel pebble]

It's easy enough

[toxic anvil]

takes a while tho lmao

[toxic anvil]

does rune of creation require fp?

[surreal verge]

It will burn any remaining FP, and requires at least 1 FP.

[toxic anvil]

got it

[surreal verge]

(The clone also has its FP set to 0)

[toxic anvil]

yeah 🙂

thx!

[misty helm]

idk if you got your answer, quick glance looked like you didnt.
https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/16x3hly/perfect_information_glyph_of_insight/
the affix changes every 4 level req on belt. each slot that has experimental has diff rules.
so zombie is: 3, 7, 11, 15, etc.

I craft experimentals fairly regular if you have more questions on it

[feral yarrow]

Is 200 corruption the recommended level to target farm aaron’s will?

[icy drift]

The highest you can go without slowing down is the recommended

[feral yarrow]

I can pretty much go through echoes no problem at 200c, was just wondering if i should further push above 200c if i want rare gear to drop more often

[icy drift]

Yes

[desert tree]

More Corruption = More Rarity bonus = More chance to get the unique you want

[cedar locust]

Just in case no-one has answered this one - This is a known bug, other players have reported they can't trade the Exiled Mage Loot drops. The team is aware and it's on the QA queue!

[lofty mirage]

this thing is kinda rare right?

[desert tree]

Yes

[crude jewel]

if i finish a quest in an echo you hear that finish sound also if you kill a boss; why do i hear that sound again if i stay in an echo and dont see anything that could trigger it? (no boss killed, not all enemys where dead in that echo, not full echo discovered/fog of war cleared) any ideas why i get that sound sometimes?

[steady oyster]

Hi just wondering has anyone played LE on steam deck? Is it playable? Thank you 🙌🏻

[desert tree]

Yes, It is not officialy supported but it works pretty well from what I read

[lofty mirage]

how true is it that i dont have to worry about capping resists, and if so, what's the safe minimum i should get it up

cos this is what mine looks like after getting blessings and i should probably adjust my gear

[lunar holly]

just get them all to 75, you're very overcapped so getting that 16% necrotic shouldn't be an issue

[glacial ocean]

oh so by this i would need a belt with ilvl 65 or so... annoying but makes sense. thanks!

[surreal verge]

70-75. 5% won't kill ya

[glacial ocean]

To my understanding resist is definitely nice, but not as important as getting a lot of health and even armor. cap is 75, but i think at end game everything is penetrating your resist so you technically need 150 to truely be capped. but again, i think health, crit avoidance, block, and armor are higher value

[surreal verge]

No, the 75% pen ignores overcap. It pens AFTER being capped.

ANy resist after 115 is effectively useless in any scenario.

[crude jewel]

i saw beastmaster can summon squirrel on LEtools, how do i get that spell i dont see it anywhere?!

[lunar holly]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAwFgjGDsBMQ 🐿️

[crude jewel]

over an item i see, thanks very much

[lofty mirage]

gotcha

[crude jewel]

how do i get the Temporal Shift spell?

[surreal verge]

That should be the dungeon specific mechanic.

https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/dungeons/temporal-sanctum/tier4

[crude jewel]

oh so after i killed the boss there appears a button then?

[surreal verge]

No, it's used inside the dungeon to progress/dodge boss attacks.

ANd only inside that dungeon do you have access to it as an extra button.

[crude jewel]

so a spell appears i can slot?

[surreal verge]

It has it's own slot.

[crude jewel]

ah perfect i see

ty

[glacial ocean]

Ah ok, i wasnt sure how it actually worked. thanks!

[vernal brook]

Good evening. Can anyone tell me if its normal that my settings show this? Any changes do not have any effect and are resetted after I leave the game.

[native sail]

Not normal, close the game and delete the graphics.ini file iirc, then relaunch it

[vernal brook]

where can I find that file?

[sinful laurel]

Conversely, try just verifying integrity of steam files

[carmine coyote]

https://support.lastepoch.com/hc/en-us/articles/1260805163370-The-Graphics-ini-File

[vernal brook]

Thanks. This might also help with my issue that I only see some monsters in monolith, while others are invisible

Options are now visible, lets see if that also fixed my other issue

[cedar locust]

Invisible mobs can be fixed with File Verification, the 'Option A' bug is fixed by deleting the .ini file - you might have to do both

[odd bolt]

guys how it works damage reflected to attackers?

I mea if I have on a belt 33 of that

whats the meaning

[odd bolt]

tyty

[vernal brook]

thanks, seems to have fixed the issue.

[cedar locust]

Glad to hear it!

[south venture]

Hey any of you guys find a fix for the Lost Connection issue?

[balmy current]

LE is a lot less punishing about not having resists capped than PoE. In PoE, having 74% resist means you take 26 damage from a hit of 100 compared to 25, or 4% more damage (26/25). In LE, having 74% resist means you take 101 damage from a hit of 100 (in a lvl 75+ zone) so you'd only be taking 1% more.

[sudden trellis]

So, playing runemaster (runic,frostwall,flame ward,flame rush,runebolt) but my flame rush doesn't proc runic innovation every time. I got the epilogue on skill tree and sometimes flame rush procs runic innovation and sometimes doesn't. What am I missing?

[swift star]

Awesome, thanks for the response 😁

[buoyant sinew]

do you have the mana for it?

[sudden trellis]

yeah

it doesn't work when I'm full mana

[misty helm]

maybe you were just throwing out a rando # with 65, probably thinking it cycled every 5, but just wanted to make sure.
you need one that is 55, or 59, or 63, or 67. 65 gives mana potion. it cycles between the 4 affixes for each lvl requirement, and there is no way to manipulate it.
crafting experimentals is more luck than science, but very predictable.

[glacial ocean]

oh ok thank you, man that is so specific to have to hit

[misty helm]

yeah, belts is luckof drop, boots ate even more annoying imo

[glacial ocean]

yeah that is what i heard lol

[misty helm]

cause its crafting potential. at least belts you know its a bust before starting

getting a good experimental onto a legendary item can be a nightmare

[toxic anvil]

is there anything to do after regular monos besides pushing corruption and farming for specific items and blessings?

[icy drift]

dungeons? idk tbh not much more

[toxic anvil]

I'm kinda bored of pushing curruption as there's no real end goal there

yeah I did those too but I don't desparately need specific gear

[icy drift]

you could do an arena push?

but yeah honestly not much to the endgame right now, the game isn't at the point where they're pumping content yet ^^

[desert tree]

Getting all your bis items

[swift star]

what should I use my Runes of Ascendance on?

[icy drift]

whatever item type the unique you currently want is

[swift star]

are they so rare that I should hold onto them? and can something like reign of arrows come from upgrading a longbow? or are there uniques that must be drops?

[icy drift]

you mean reign of winter? in that case no

[swift star]

oh, haha, yeah, reign of winter, sorry

[icy drift]

the way ROA's work is that they emulate a unique just dropping from a trash mob at area level 100 basically

so no boss specific drops

only global drops

[swift star]

I know that Reign of Winter is a 50% chance from a specific boss, but wasn't sure if that wwas the only way to get the drop

[wide sentinel]

[icy drift]

it is the only way it can drop ^^

[toxic anvil]

mostly have those, didn't really need uniques either

and Im afraid to create a new char since I have to do the campaign again as well as 7 monos 😭

[icy drift]

you can mostly skip the campaign using dungeons but yeah monos are a bit rough sometimes ^^

[toxic anvil]

will u get the passive pts and idol slots?

aso yeah monossss

[icy drift]

nope but you'll be able to pick up the quests for them

[desert tree]

You need to do the last 3 only

Get someone to tp you in that zone

[icy drift]

how dare you suggest that vlad!

[swift star]

So:
Dropped from:
Heorot (The Age of Winter Timeline) - Common, 50% chance

This would mean only that mob drops the item, but

Random Drop (Common)

This would mean it can drop from anywhere and can be gotten via the rune of ascendance?

[icy drift]

yes

[swift star]

Arrowguard would be runeable... and mourningfrost, etc.

[balmy current]

Heorot (The Age of Winter Timeline) - Common, 50% chanceMeans it's a boss drop, can't drop from anywhere else (apart from 1 specific unique, Ravenous Void) & can't be Rune of Ascendanced.

[toxic anvil]

oh wait so they dont have to carry me, just tp me to one of the last 3?

[desert tree]

99% sure

They might have to open the first echo of every time line so you can access it

[toxic anvil]

ahh ok got it

and for the dungeon skips, can they tp me to it and run through it with me?

or how does that work?

[desert tree]

Don't do dongeon skip

[toxic anvil]

why?

[desert tree]

It's more efficient to go the normal route

You can have all your passives and idols by the end of heobora

My last 8 characters have not fight lagon

[toxic anvil]

yeah true, me and a friend found out that u can tp through the campaign with 0 work lol

so maybe 1 hr

[desert tree]

And never took boat

[toxic anvil]

or less

[desert tree]

?

[toxic anvil]

yeah thats about when it runs through for me when i do it

yeah if a friend tps u through certain checkpoints in the campaign

u can skip mostly everything

and get auto quest completions

[desert tree]

Oh your friend take waypoint and you tp on him?

[toxic anvil]

yep

[desert tree]

Even faster than

[toxic anvil]

so like under 1 hr campaign completion ez

but im underleveled 🤣

which is a paaaain lol

[quick shadow]

VK autobomber is a good choice for beginner ?

[desert tree]

Medium

[icy drift]

i would say no tbh

but if you really love autobombers then maybe decent

[wheat silo]

Hi, does anyone knows why my overlay map and mini are gone???

[swift star]

which resistances count as elemental?

[native sail]

Fire, cold, lightning

[swift star]

that is whata I was thinking, thanks

[balmy current]

The in-game game guide (G) is your friend

[swift star]

i looked at resistances, and myabe missed it but didn't see it explicitly separate them out

[balmy current]

furry muff

It might be one of the loading screen tips then

[swift star]

So this would be the echo to complete in order to reset all of the echoes I've done on a timeline... it says it adds corruption, but someone yesterday mentioned that there is a way to reduce corruption as well... is the +7 here an optional increase?

[toxic anvil]

There’s an echo in the new timeline that allows for resetting

[swift star]

ah, gotcha, thanks

[zealous tusk]

Is the mtx here not available in offline?

[native sail]

Correct

[toxic anvil]

How the heck does disintegrating aura work?

[pastel pebble]

On Hammer Throw?

[wide sentinel]

it ticks on enemies inside of it

is there something confusing abt it?

[acoustic thicket]

hey

is there any way to make the game move with right click instead of left

[wide sentinel]

no

[toxic anvil]

Like how does it scale? And can you have multiple?

[wide sentinel]

yes u can overlap, scales with throwing damage and i think stats on skill/dot/void. overall B tier build that has no advantages over hit version or smite

tldr scales same way as hit version(besides crit) but does 2-5x less damage depending on gear

[toxic anvil]

Why less dmg?

Just less nodes?

[wide sentinel]

cause on crit u can get 500+crit multi

u dont have any of that on dot version

without any compensation

just to compare people with decent gear buffed get 10-15k ticks(which tick like once per second or twice), while crit version fully buffed deals 24k crits per hit with 4+attacks per second

while also perma stunning everything

[toxic anvil]

Ah damn so just lack of a good multiplier 😭

[lofty mirage]

about to make a swarmblade, is thorn totem the fastest way to level a primalist?

[candid elm]

If you'd like a leveling guide, there's ones on Maxroll. The Druid one uses as Swipe and Maelstrom until unlocking Swarmblade
https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/druid-leveling-guide

[wide sentinel]

imo yes totems are the best, but swarmstrike is pretty fast to

[lofty mirage]

gotcha thanks

[lofty mirage]

so im leveling my primalist now, is there a reason why every time i zone into an area im at half health?

[desert tree]

Bug

[lofty mirage]

oh..

lmao

[lofty mirage]

can someone ELI5 the swarmblade swarmstrike rotation to me? having a hard time to understand it, using the maxroll druid levelling guide for basis

it's telling me to "go into werebear form" to extend the duration of swarm, but can i do that while in swarmblade form? do i have to go human first?

if i do the human->bear transformation the sward ends anyway

[carmine coyote]

Swarms fury node in the tree

Bottom right

[lofty mirage]

gotcha, that makes it easier
but how exactly does that "extend" the swarm?

oh nvm

i see it

[stray cloak]

Does rotmind flat dmg apply to poisons applied by dot spells?

[cedar locust]

Hi there, did you manage to solve this?

[surreal verge]

No, the poisons are ailments and aren't affected.

[native lichen]

the first line supposed to be gain 5% of current missing life or i`m misssing something

[icy drift]

no you lose hp and gain ward

[surreal verge]

We call this Low Life Ward.
Trade health for Ward.

[native lichen]

the wording is confusing me.

[zealous orchid]

so for primalist

are there builds that utalize more then one transform like if i wanted to do swarmblade cuz im feeling meele for like 20-30hrs then i get bored so i switch to spriggen to do some ranged dps

or a build that utalizes all 3 transforms aka good at all but master of none

[icy drift]

I know there are builds that utilize multiple transformations but they usually switch between them pretty often, like every few seconds or so

[storm blaze]

What's so confusing about it?

[zealous orchid]

oh ok thats sick to

[native lichen]

the first line ends not so well, to be connected with the second line. English is not my primary language but i think there should be another word after the first line.

[storm blaze]

You can always post that along with the picture to #1123698164503949392 or #1123697853882187847

English isn't my first language either

[icy drift]

Idk it seems pretty solid to me

I don't see what they would add or change it to

[native lichen]

% current health lose per seconds (is) % of missling health gained as ward per second?

[lunar holly]

there are two separate lines

say you have 1000HP

1st line: you lose 5% of your hp, so after 1 second you have 950hp, after another second you lose 5% of 950 and so on
2nd line: say you have 1000HP and you lost 100, so you're currently at 900HP, you gain 5% of 100 as ward (which is your missing health) so you gain 5 ward

both of the above happen every second

[icy drift]

That doesn't really make any sense

The first and second line are two different stats

One makes you lose life dependant on your current life, and the other makes you gain ward based on your missing life

You could have one without the other and it'd still function, albeit a bit weird ^^

[native lichen]

losing current life will get you to 1HP eventually, right?

[icy drift]

It's kinda like how the hybrid health (giant) affix gives both % increased life and flat life, they're two different stats but on the same affix

[toxic echo]

it will balance out with your health regen, likely not a zero, but very low

[icy drift]

Depends on how much health Regen you have

[storm blaze]

If you have no regen
But yes, it will not kill you

[icy drift]

If you disable your hp Regen it'll go down to less than 1 but never 0

It'll just display 0

[warm gyro]

anyone ever had his worn chest item disappear into thin air?

my necro armor glitched out mid play, I am now naked and the item is neither on the ground nor anywhere else to be found

[desert tree]

Try relogging

[icy drift]

Try to relog

[warm gyro]

okay, thx

[icy drift]

Very hard to make items disappear

[warm gyro]

I hope it comes back, I upgraded this armor and frankly, it's been the best for the 20 levels

*past

since the armor is also gone on the character select screen

I assume the game devoured it

ffs

[stray cloak]

Is lightning fireball still bugged with %inc scaling?

[cedar locust]

How many times have you reloaded? If it's just once, then please report this via the in game bug reporting tool as your .log files might show what happened!

It's also worth checking your Forge, Gift Inventory and Stash!

[warm gyro]

ye, I appreciate the help, but I did all that. the armor is gone 😦

I still got an alt in my stash which I can use for now, so it's okay.

still frustrating to know u can lose ur stuff jus like that. if it was a legendary or so I'd be fuming

[icy drift]

Very weird, don't think I've ever heard of an equipped item just disappearing before

[warm gyro]

ye, same here, altho u logged way more hours, I assume

I was running and justing my gear in my inventory

and I accidentally misclicked my worn chest armor

[icy drift]

Mhmm I have about 600 hours in online play

[stray cloak]

i've had it happen before when i got that bug that blanks out your inventory, then click on something. But usually it's stuck to my mouse after zoning

[warm gyro]

I dropped it again in its slot, but it vanished

so I checked the ground, the loot in the greater area

all my stashes

to no avail

[icy drift]

Yeah usually it'll reappear either on your mouse, drop on the ground or in your inventory

[warm gyro]

item scaling is a bit off at times, so I am not too mad about it. I kept this armor from like lvl 30 to 50

[icy drift]

Very weird, that sucks, let's hope it doesn't happen again ^^

[misty helm]

this an online char?

[warm gyro]

yesa

-a

[misty helm]

sad face

[warm gyro]

the prob is my build hinges on fire dmg and all its related traits

and some of the best ones were on that chest armor. I'll probs switch to cold dmg now

[misty helm]

i'll keep an eye out for it in the offline world, figure its a server related issue though. and too bad we cant just add it back to your char manially

[warm gyro]

yeah, don't worry about it. let's hope it's a one-time thing

[cedar locust]

I am sorry about that. If it happens again - and I do hope it doesn't, this is a very rare issue - please make an in game bug report as your .log files will be attached.

It's also worth (if you can) equipping and unequipping another chest armor to see if that fixes it, as well as dropping another item on the floor and hitting Alt+Z or just Z to see if your loot filter is hiding the 'missing' gear.

Try to not change zones before you try that as anything on the floor will be lost when the instance resets.

[balmy oriole]

do these nodes buff all my active crows or only a single one each proc?

[desert tree]

Active Storm Crow"S"

Should be all of them

There are no visual indication though

[balmy oriole]

yea i assumed that aswell but it is really hard to test. After playing around with huntsman on the target dummy I had severly different damage procs from different crows so I am kinda leaning towards the nodes not applying to every crow at once

after testing some more the vastly different damage procs might have originated from two attacks damaging simultaneously and thus having a bigger number

[icy drift]

It should definitely apply to all your current crows

[stray cloak]

this a bug or do i misunderstand how passive threshholds work?

[surreal verge]

Ignoring the 2/6, you only have 10 points, where the 2/6 node needs 20 15 points in runemaster.

...Hey, the number's wrong

You're supposed to need 15 points.

[stray cloak]

yea exactly

[surreal verge]

But the desc says 10

ANYWAY, basically you can only put points into nodes which the yellow line has crossed the center of

[stray cloak]

Yeah but im able to put them past it as per the screenshot 😛

bug reported 🙂

[cedar locust]

Got your pics - both of those nodes sit over Frost Wall, which requires 15 points

Though the in game text says 10 RM points for Mental Catalyst and 15 RM points for Edict

The 'requires Mastery Quest' text is known and on the QA queue for a larger update!

[stray cloak]

Easiest way to force lightning aegis into a build is StaticOrb+flamerush right?

[desert tree]

Yes, or use lightning blast, or lightning blast when hit idols

[green spear]

can you make rare item become exalted ?

[cedar locust]

Nope -

[sudden trellis]

how do I check which quests with passive/idol rewards am I missing after I finish msq?

[cedar locust]

You can check your in game completed list against this one - LETools Checklist

[sudden trellis]

oh yay having to use external sources!

[cedar locust]

You can also check Towns for '?' map markers - these will likely be the side quests that provide those Passive points

[surreal verge]

Any side quest, tbh

Most of the latter side quests give both.

There's more quests that give those rewards than the amount you can gain.

EG:Doing all side quests you see can gain you all the rewards right before you hit Lagon's Zone.

[buoyant sinew]

yeah just to be very clear: you don't have to do specific quests to get your rewards. You have just have to do enough quests

so you should never actually have to use that external source unless you're intentionally walking past quests

[surreal verge]

Or are looking to find an optimal side quest chain for when you're training an alt char.

[cedar locust]

Or speedrunning using Dungeon skips takes you past a lot of those quests

[green spear]

do physical dmg apply on melee skills ?

[surreal verge]

No. It applies to skills that do physical damage.

Physical is a damage type.

[green spear]

harvest on lich is apply ?

[surreal verge]

It's anything with the physical tag.
Harvest is a melee necrotic skill

Example:

[green spear]

so no ?

[surreal verge]

No, it does not apply to Harvest

[green spear]

what better 250 armor or 14% Endurance ?

[viscid spruce]

Why do you sometimes have to 'launch' the game 3-5 times from steam before it will actually open.

Seems it's only from the context menu it has issues. If you launch from within Steam itself it usually opens first try.

[native sail]

Likely endurance if you are not a ward build. It caps at 60% and is a very strong layer that scales with your health pool.

[native sail]

Weird. I use desktop shortcut, never had an issue other than it taking like 30s to launch. But that's an issue with all my Steam games for some reason.

[viscid spruce]

My Steam will change my status to "Last Epoch", it shows the LE splash screen, that goes away, few seconds pass, then Steam just goes back to "Online"

[crude jewel]

do i have it right in mind in general, 2k hp is a good amount 1k-1.5k is a little too less?

[wide sentinel]

2k is low too

I should aim for 3k, 4k with good gear

[pine trail]

So as a frostclaw freeze/cold rune master, any suggestions of what unique or good items to looks for?

[desert tree]

Frostbite?

[pine trail]

ermm I forget lol, lemme check, but I don;t think so

Wait...I thought frostite was a skill

[surreal verge]

Frostbite is an ailment

[crude jewel]

oh frick rly? god that explains much xD

[surreal verge]

It's the cold version of ignite, in a sense

[crude jewel]

is it a bug, that if i die, and my companians kill the boss after my death 1min later and i get to the next dungeon tier?

sadly i could loot but i got the win lol

[crude jewel]

mhm how much vitality you have and extra flat hp?

[wide sentinel]

0? Depends on your class and build

[crude jewel]

so with what you get then thos hp? i am just curious, do you have it in your LEbuilder to link me?

if you dont put vitality, flat hp or % increase health, how you get then to 3k or 4k?

[wide sentinel]

all hybrid hp+%hp+flat hp u can+ idols with double hp as much as u can fit in

hybrid hp is the most valuable

[toxic anvil]

Can I use spirit plague for dps?

[surreal verge]

It has peepeepoopoo single target.

But it's has great clear.

[toxic anvil]

Haha yeah I figured, why bad single target?

Bad base dmg?

[surreal verge]

No, it's just terrible at single target.

[toxic anvil]

Cause I know I can scale it with int

Why

[surreal verge]

It's a spell dot that can't stack

[toxic anvil]

Ah ok

Wait some of those are fine lmao

[surreal verge]

Casting it 5 times it's the same as refreshing it

Meanwhile:Wandering spriits does at least 3 times it's dps on a boss

[toxic anvil]

Ahhhh ok

And wandering is fine for single target?

[surreal verge]

Wandering is a good skill overall.

[toxic anvil]

So I could technically just use those 2 🤣

[surreal verge]

Yes.

[toxic anvil]

Eyoooo

Thanks lol

I’m just afraid of how long it’s gonna take to go through campaign and monos again lmaooo

[surreal verge]

You'll understand why we say spirit plague's single target is bad once you actually use it LOL

[toxic anvil]

👍

[crude jewel]

so you have flat hp then k ty

[viscid spruce]

How am I supposed to know what the first Wengari I aided was 🤔

[native sail]

You see which mono you don't have open and you just check their dialogue boxes when you next go in

[viscid spruce]

Uhh, what 😆

[feral lynx]

Hey, everyone! Which skill should I take? LMAO!

[desert tree]

Well Summon Fireball Totem obviously

[feral yarrow]

is the loot filter creator in LEtools accurate?

[desert tree]

Is the planner is done properly yes

I like using it and the tweak a few rules to make sure everything I want is in it

[feral yarrow]

thank you!

[zealous tusk]

Is there a gap level here? Like i gain slow level when im 70 and im doing level 90 monsters?

[faint cape]

No

[zealous tusk]

Okay thanks

[lofty mirage]

does an instant cast tornado mean anything to lightning swarmblade or am i just taking this for the 10% damage increase?

[faint cape]

Just for damage

[zealous tusk]

Im confused about empowerd monolith, i just unlock lvl 90 winter, i just kill its boss and it will become empowered?

[faint cape]

You must beat all 3 of the level 90 monolith bosses to unlock empowered for all monoliths

[zealous tusk]

So for now theres no need to farm in those?

If not empowered?

[faint cape]

Right, empowered is always the best way to farm in monoliths

[swift star]

getting an [LE-61] Failed to Matchmake when trying to leave the monolith of fate and go back to the end of time

[flat hamlet]

´looks like servber probs , does it ?

[swift star]

that is the thought, is anyone else experiencing it?

[flat hamlet]

you get this when you logout aand wanna go re in

[swift star]

oh nos

might be calling it an early night then... doesn't hurt my feelings, have to do Thanksgiving #2 tomorrow 😦

bed might be good

[flat hamlet]

damn, jsut wanted a fast round before bed 🙂 ,... but seems its not that long ago all was fine

Yup same thing here

#💬┃general message

[lofty mirage]

what are the pros/cons of using exploding blade vs non-explode for umbral blades?

[sage schooner]

Hi guys, in the crafting materials window, alt+ctrl is not showing me the "Crafting & Item Roll Information". Is this a known bug?

[green spear]

how to get rune of creation ? or base on luck only ?

[desert tree]

Drop it, they are pretty rare

[balmy current]

Exploding gives you more hits for applying ailments, non-exploding is better for Shadow Daggers.

[lofty mirage]

Gotcha, thanks.

[lofty mirage]

Are there any good locust swarm setups that isn't the bleed one? The setting up the swarm for the build is highly annoying and tedious.

[desert tree]

Unfortunately the bleed version is so much better than any other

And the cold conversion is bugged

[stray cloak]

I crashed when yulia was teleporting me to heoborea. When i went back she was gone. Is there anyway i can get to heoborea still or is my game bricked?

[desert tree]

Ask someone to tp you there

[sudden trellis]

are they going to get rid of this stupid "choose 1 of 2 mono paths" thing on 1.0?

[desert tree]

Probably not

But if you want them to consider it #1123697853882187847 #1123698164503949392

[sudden trellis]

other than FORCING people to make at least a 2nd char, what purpose does this serve?

[cedar locust]

You don't need to make a second character, you can re-run the monolith path and choose the other option on the same character

In the End of Time, all possible outcomes - Timelines - are converging, every choice you could of but didn't make is now available. Every God you didn't kill, there, to prove yourself against.

In the chaos that is the End, your choices can bring Stability or Corruption to the Timelines and you are rewarded for your decisions.

[desert tree]

It's also a way to make a somewhat organic story telling

[balmy current]

How?

The timeline stories aren't causally connected.

[desert tree]

Your actions determine where/when you can go next

And change the outcome of the time line you are in

[sudden trellis]

empowered path or normal path?

[cedar locust]

Either, iirc, you just have to do that timeline again - if fact you have to do both to unlock the next timeline in some cases and as Monolith progress doesn't carry over between characters, that would be a progress blocker if your couldn't re-do timelines with just one character

[surreal verge]

Both, you're never locked to your choice.
(Unlocking empowered also unlocks all waypoints on every monolith.)

[quick vessel]

anyone have any youtubers they recommend for Last Epoch content?

[odd bolt]

guys is it worth it to farm all the stability bonus for blessings or just doing the mission and go next?

[desert tree]

Dreadful, Perry the Pig, Maxroll team

[wise narwhal]

my game keeps force closing on my desktop once i select a character

any help would be great

[cedar locust]

Do you have any other programs open when you launch the game?

[carmine coyote]

I had this a month ago, sadly a reintstall fixed it

[wise narwhal]

im guessing it a unity error?

ive done a fresh install as well

@cedar locust no nothing is open but LE

[cedar locust]

It's worth trying to verify your files after the install completes just in case as well as have task manager open to check your RAM usage on launch

[astral condor]

i have a question. is the runic invocation node interlude (cast second rune spell on third rune cast) bugged or is it working as intended?
whenever i try to just cast the second rune without the third it does a weird leap animation and it doesnt cast it under the enemies, just around as it does when theres no enemys. ty

[wise narwhal]

@cedar locust verifed files and ram doesnt even come close to being overloaded

[cedar locust]

The next best step is to send a ticket in to our Support Team with your Player.log files !

Even though your RAM seems fine, a generic Unity crash might not show actual usage so you can also try allocating more memory to see if it helps though that would be if you felt comfortable doing so.

[wise narwhal]

@cedar locust okay thank you thats what ill do

[faint cape]

I will say, even though the bleed one is definitely the strongest, and the cold conversion is bugged, cold swarm and low life swarm are both viable. They just take a lot more gear.

[surreal verge]

It's buggy if you don't cast a full 3 rune combo I heard, ask #🧙┃mage for more info

[astral condor]

thanks i wanted to know it was just a bug, its EA so cant complain TY

[cedar locust]

Thanks Kzb, was just looking through our reports to see if it was known to the team!

This is known and on the QA queue!

[astral condor]

Aweasome!

i have a not as important question regarding math hehe
What seems to be better to increase DMG? +% increased or +flat added? is there a common rule on how much you can prioritize one over the other so they complement on minmaxing terms? lets say +50% increased and +2 added dmg

[surreal verge]

They normally don't clash (Eg, not the same affix slots), you need both, and the ratio depends on a lot of factors.

"Fuck around and find out"

[ionic bolt]

trial and error there is gonna be your best bet or using lastepochtools and simming the items

[astral condor]

ye i dont want to be that guy that just wants someone to fix it for him, but this comes in an item stats and forging one is preventing the trial for the other one

[faint cape]

If you are using spells, typically +1 is equivalent to 5% increase. But as said, you need it all lol

[astral condor]

didnt know about that, thank you will try it

[astral condor]

right so if i have enough flat 50% increased is much more than +2 flat, am i wrong?

[toxic anvil]

I would worry more about scarcity, the more you have of one multiplier the less of a total % increase to your damage it provides

[faint cape]

Theoretically yes, but it's rare to have more flat than increase

Like, if you have 100 flat and 500% increase, and you're using a spell with standard base damage, then yes 50% increase is better than +9

But rare to be in that situation, largely because of what Kzb said, the two stats don't often compete for slots

[astral condor]

ofc i dont think i have that much flat in my current build, was just making the case for that scenario

in my case i also have to choose for 6 of potential 10 nodes for a skill of one and the other so i want to make those six the most i can

ill figure it out on the build planner tool, thanks for the help

[faint cape]

Ah yeah. One thing to keep in mind, the % damage stuff in skill specs is almost always "more" rather than "increased", which is way better than increased or flat

Since it always gives exactly what it says to the overall damage rather than adding to other %s before applying

[surreal verge]

If you want damage, you would take all the good ones.

(WHich is most flats and most unconditional damage increases)

[astral condor]

aaah didnt know that, great

[astral condor]

so this nodes are gold xD

[surreal verge]

Some are conditional, and so it depends on your build

Yeah, at least with skill nodes "fuck around and find out" is very valid and costs close to nothing

[astral condor]

sorry to keep at it with the ignorance but the tool calculator doesnt include the dmg buff of flame ward for the runemaster, only the damage reduction. could that be a problem of the tool, as its a buff granted by the nodes and not intrinsic, or am i not enabling it?

[gaunt iris]

how do blade dancer and marksman compare both in lategame ?

[quick vessel]

Thank ya!

[pastel pebble]

BD is in a very strong place

Marksman has a lot of damage but lacks in survivability

[gaunt iris]

cool, any specific BD build you can recommend ? 🙂

[astral condor]

i loved shadow dagger, making clones and throwing 5 rotating daggers was a blast 🤣

[quasi thistle]

So my friend and I are trying to play after a hiatus and we seem to be unable to load into echoes while in a party together. He can load fine on his own, I can load fine on my own. Together nothing happens. Any ideas how we can solve that. We deleted the graphic ini file already

[toxic anvil]

Wait isn’t flat better there?

[faint cape]

No. +10 is the same as 50% inc, all else equal

[toxic anvil]

right so 50% in would be +10 dmg for the spell

but +9 would be +54 damage for the spell when put through the 500%?

[faint cape]

No, 50% would be 60 extra damage for the spell

[toxic anvil]

wait wut

how

50% inc on the 100 right?

[faint cape]

To calc effective more damage, it's final / initial

[toxic anvil]

waait

this is more damage? 🤣

[faint cape]

For the two cases:
+10 damage: 130 / 120 = 1.083
50% increased: 650 / 600 = 1.083
In other words, both give 8.3% more damage in the end.

[toxic anvil]

wait a sec

what did we start with?

different numbers in both cases?

[faint cape]

+100 and 500% increased

Is the stats for that theoretical scenario

[toxic anvil]

oh its +50 in both cases

[faint cape]

+60 final damage

[toxic anvil]

sry math lol yeah 60

[faint cape]

Yeah

[toxic anvil]

wait so 50% inc on 100 is not 50?

[faint cape]

On 100 it is yeah, but I was talking about +100 on a standard base damage spell (i.e., equivalent to +20), which is 120 damage

Or it could be 240

[toxic anvil]

okay ima nope out on this one cause I was clearly lacking context 🤣

[faint cape]

Just depends on the added damage effectiveness

[toxic anvil]

ah yes true added dmg effectiveness lmao

that crap 🤣

[faint cape]

Yeah lol, that's why it's always best to talk in percentage of final damage, avoids the whole issue of dmg eff

[toxic anvil]

u still gotta account for it tho right?

[faint cape]

Not unless you're comparing two skills with different effectiveness

[toxic anvil]

ahh

yeye

wait wouldn't percentage of final damage still need to account for the +eff?

[icy drift]

lol

[faint cape]

No. Actual final damage would, but not %. As long as you separate out a whole multiplier, it doesn't matter anymore. Like, include all of your damage increases or a single more multiplier.

[toxic anvil]

I think my brain is dying 🤣

[remote orchid]

hey guys whats the most op build rn to farm corruption 700+ ?

[viscid spruce]

What do I pick if I killed Lagon last time?

[icy drift]

doesn't matter

[viscid spruce]

Despite quest saying choose a different fate for Liath?

[native sail]

Top one iirc, it just opens the other option after killing Lagon.

No mattter what option you kill Lagon

[viscid spruce]

And quest will still complete despite my choice?

[icy drift]

yes

[viscid spruce]

Weird wording on the quest than, imo.

[desert tree]

You must kill her

Otherwise you will end up blood frost death and not reign of dragon

[viscid spruce]

I did end up doing that. Checked my map and realized my 80 region was already unlocked but not the 85 region. The first option kept saying "will unlock 80 zone", so I went with the second one.

[desert tree]

I am not sure about the level

But fighting her get you to Reign of Dragon

[viscid spruce]

Yepp, that's the 85 region, which the second option (fighting her) unlocked.

Or at least will, once I complete the Quest Echoes.

[desert tree]

And you are trying to unlock the other one?

[viscid spruce]

No, we're saying the same thing 😛

Just verifying you were correct.

[desert tree]

Good good

[desert pebble]

The story isn't finished yet, so you skip right to the endgame after Majasa or you can even enter monoliths right after getting your mastery.
do i need to do campaing with every character ?

And do i need to do secondary quests i have skipped during campaing? i have couple of them remaining, they say they give passive points but I havent gotten one after doing couple

[buoyant sinew]

you need to reach end of time on every character, then you can go straight into monos if you want and are strong enough. The remaining passive and idol slot unlocks are awarded based on how many quests you've done rather than being rewards for single specific quests, so you should eventually do enough to unlock them all. If you complete every side quest, that happens at the end of act 7

There's also the +1 all attributes for beating Majasa, but that is minor

[brave path]

^ last line...+1 to all stats is really good...free stats in general are really good...theres not really a reason NOT to finish the campaign...it goes by pretty quickly and free stats are free stats

[runic sedge]

No reason to not go into monos and level for a while first, before finishing the campaign, that way you can blast through the temporal sanctum and exit out into ch9, skipping ch8 in its entirety. Then you can blast through majasa for your +1 all and go back to monos

[brave path]

yah also not a bad plan...but i say always get that +1 haha...but something to keep in mind @desert pebble is that if you jump into monos early, they dont scale...iirc the mobs in that first one are 50, so w/e level you are you will be fighting lvl 50s (it is doable even at lvl like 20, just hard xD)

[feral yarrow]

did twisted heart and bleeding heart get nered?

[icy drift]

No?

[wide sentinel]

Since when bleeding heart needed a nerf huh?

Item is trash in endgame

[tacit cypress]

are trusts AI that join your party and help you fight?

oh crap, haha.. wrong discord

[safe harness]

Twisted heart was slight nerfed sorta recently

[swift star]

echo rewards kind of suck when you are playing in a party... we've done multiple uniques on my friend's echoes, and I get to choose between gold, xp tomes, and rare swords...

[manic python]

Hi guys, I am level 51 currently and dying to the first monos. I noticed that the rewards are gone when you die (which sucks). Do I need to be above lvl 58 to be comfortable on clearing or is it a "me" problem?

I have 751 health as lvl 51 rogue. Is it low?

And also has the unique body armor that has +150 armor

[faint cape]

You get a choice of two, unrelated to the selected one. I like it, personally. I rarely end up having to take a junk reward, unlike when picking the echo.

[faint cape]

That sounds very low. The first mono also has a lot of phys and necrotic damage, so make sure your resists there are decent.

Also cap your endurance (not threshold) in addition to building more health. Eventually, you'll want crit mitigation, too, along with a few other layers like glancing blows.

[analog wadi]

is WW completely random or somewhat lenient to the char im playing?

[brave path]

seems too low...you should be around 1-1.3kish ideally heading into monoliths...check your gear, get some forging done and boost all that up...also it could be build based if you are still struggling after getting your HP up

[gentle flume]

I'm trying to make a loot filter to only show items with minion damage and similar. In made the first rull to show these under the Affix, and a second rule to hide all items. Is that not correct?

[brave path]

everything above one rule supersedes the ones below it

"show all minion :X:"
"hide all rare and below"

means you will see rare and magic items with minion stuff

if the order is swapped then you hide everything rare and below no matter what stats they are

[gentle flume]

Hmm. I'm not seeing any loot drop though. I even tried for an hour to murder everything, and nothing. Hmm. I must have something wrong

[brave path]

take a snip it of your loot filter

[gentle flume]

Here's what it looks like:

[brave path]

example...from bottom up...it will hide all rare items unless one of those rules above it are happening

yah thats fine

i would also recommend not blocking EVERYTHING

[gentle flume]

right, I'm just trying to get one thing working first

[brave path]

because not every item drops with minion stats

[wise narwhal]

i checked my event log to see why my game crashes on character start up its saying the unityplayer.dll is the faulting module any work around for that?

[gentle flume]

hmm, ok. I'll try it again. maybe I'm just unlucky.

[brave path]

what lvl are you?

[gentle flume]

30ish

[brave path]

ok yah you shouldnt be hiding anything higher than rare

but you also need to add in rules for other stats

so you can get gear upgrades

because again not everything has minion stats

and you still need to get defensive stats like HP, endurance, etc

[gentle flume]

ok, ty. I'll look more into it.

[brave path]

if you look what i sent you...the bottom 3 rules...that middle one is the 3 HP stats...flat, hybrid, and %hp

set that up

exactly how i have it

then toss your minion one above that

if you want you can recolor or emphasize your minion stat stuff so its easy to see on the ground

and if you do that red recolor one i have up there, you can set it to recolor when you get 2 of the 3 hp stat affixes on the same item

[gentle flume]

alright, that make sense. ty

[brave path]

np...hope that made sense haha...once you get the basics, filters are easy to make and VERY good

[brave path]

have you tried a game repair/reinstall of it?

[wise narwhal]

@brave path also say its this dll file to nvwgf2umx.dll some times

@brave path yeah i have

[faint cape]

It can not be influenced in any way. It is not always weighted the same as normal affixes, though, rare affixes are more common except on boots.

[brave path]

=/ sadly im not tech savvy enough to know how to fix that stuff...try googling the dll's and see what type of fixes are out there

[desert tree]

<@&1082357055484071997>

[opal nest]

is it impossible to play in Offline mode without Internet Connection?

[fresh aspen]

you need internet connection to login

once ure in , u can turn it off

[opal nest]

ah i see, ty for the info

[zinc notch]

wonder what prefix i shd add for frost claw runemaster ? cast speed / crit multi / ele dmg ?

[desert pebble]

should i just select level 66 and blast the hell out of it?

[surreal verge]

Always go for the higher level ones, and clear the 3 lv90 monoliths asap for empowered monoliths-

[desert pebble]

alright

whats point of the lover level one then

[surreal verge]

DIfferent paths.

Also each monolith has their own blessing pool and you can take one from each monolith.

And different unique/set X nodes

[desert tree]

Probably cast speed

[bronze ocean]

It will be possible when 1.0 is released in February

[opal nest]

thanks for the info

[gaunt iris]

so im realy cant decide between runemaster or blade dancer as my first class, are they both overall equal for survival, clearspeed and so on ?

[frosty jackal]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAYXQ3ifMzw&t=160s
is this build still viable?

[desert tree]

Define viable?

[frosty jackal]

i mean can you run high level content

for example 300-500 corruption?

[polar holly]

is there flat mana regen affix?

[surreal verge]

No

[desert tree]

Then I would not advise you to play forged weapons

[frosty jackal]

can you recommend a good warpath build then

[desert tree]

Vk echoe

Or fire paladin

[frosty jackal]

can you send a link?

[frosty jackal]

you mena this one right?
https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/echo-warpath-void-knight-guide

[desert tree]

For fire pala check dreadful on yt

[frosty jackal]

ok thanks

[polar holly]

does this node reduce my mana if i have ward?

[surreal verge]

Think so, ye.

[balmy oriole]

le tools says drain life scales with cast speed and has a base cast speed of 16.5 is this true?

[desert tree]

If it says so, very likely.
But it might not scale in the way you want/expect

[surreal verge]

It most likely just scales the initial cast time.

Not the damage ticks

[desert tree]

I am 99% sure it scales the speed to start the channeling

[polar holly]

how does adaptive boss damage reduction work?

[buoyant sinew]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/community-game-guide/26057#heading--boss-mitigation

[polar holly]

jesus no wonder i deal 0 damage after a few big hits

why is it even there

[buoyant sinew]

to make low single target builds more viable (since this lets bosses have less health)

but yes I don't think you'll find many people in the community who particularly like the system

[faint cape]

The system is being reworked, since it isn't particularly effective at that goal

[balmy current]

No, that's not why (though it is a side effect). They implemented it to try & slow down the most powerful builds so they had to actually see some of the mechanics rather than being able to ignore any mechanics by dint of having massive dps.

[buoyant sinew]

those are the same thing, are they not? If they just wanted to make bosses longer to kill they could have given them more health. The reason to do this whole silly system instead is so that lower damage builds aren't left in the dust

[balmy current]

I would argue no. Your statement "they did it to give lower dps builds a chance" says that that was the main focus of the change when it was only a side effect. They wanted to "nerf" the higher performing builds without nerfing them. It never had anything to do with lower performing builds (other than trying to find a way to make the better builds slower without totally fucking over the lower dps builds).

[faint cape]

Well, it's a bit of both, no? The change was to nerf the top-end, and making it adaptive like that was so low-end builds would not be hurt as much by it.

So the weirdness of it is indeed to give the low-end builds a chance

[buoyant sinew]

I think we agree and are arguing semantics, but...that's fun so onwards 😀 yes, the goal of making any change was to nerf top end builds. But the original question was why the adaptive damage system exists, and that is clearly to be nice to low damage builds. Because again, if it wasn't for that the change could have just been to dump more health on bosses

[balmy current]

Or nerf the crap out of the higher end builds.

I'm still of the opinion that the higher end builds were the problem that needed a solution (ie, the focus of the thing), rather than the lower end builds lack of dps being the problem (which it is but a separate one). If that were the case then they'd just buff the lower performing builds to the point that everyone could kill t4 dungeon bosses in a few seconds.

So the problem statement (good builds are too good) drove the solution (give bosses DR) & making it "adaptive" was a tweak with regards to the second order problem (bad builds suck & have low dps).

[faint cape]

I get that all this is semantics and whatever, but the question is vague enough that really everyone is correct, lol

[balmy current]

Except some of us are more correcterer than others... 😄

And pedantic enough to argue it for long enough that everyone else either stops arguing or complains to the moderators.

[faint cape]

I don't think so, in this case

[balmy current]

Fair enough, you're allowed to be wrong.

[faint cape]

We all are allowed that, from time to time

[pastel pebble]

Nah

I'm always rigjt

[swift star]

server seems to be struggling 😦

[stone lynx]

someone farm dragon heart? know dropchance? 10 runs done, I get always trash

[native sail]

It's like 5% or so at base

[stone lynx]

hardcore target farm(

[native sail]

And there's no pity system/RNG smoothing. All you can do is pump up your item rarity and hope.

[stone lynx]

Currupted rarity can up chance?

[native sail]

Yeah

[stone lynx]

Ok thanks, I try new 10 run

[toxic anvil]

u can also just wait for trade to use builds that have a heavy farming req, that's what im doing

[stone lynx]

I play on HC SSF

[toxic anvil]

oh well then 🤣

[stone lynx]

Just 10 runs done and zero heart, sadly

[toxic anvil]

damn man, hope u get it

[stone lynx]

If basic chance like 5% and i have 50% rarity = 7.5% right?

think that nothing change

[toxic anvil]

think so yeah?

[stone lynx]

that is not a super loot, or mega rarity item.. 5% for that target loot, very hard I think

[toxic anvil]

yeah it is

that's why trade leagues exist hahaa

[stone lynx]

Any way do destraction old unique item? or only sell in shop?

[toxic anvil]

sorry?

[stone lynx]

I cant destruction unique items

[surreal verge]

Nope

Sell them or just drop them on the floor.

Assuming you don't want to keep them

[stone lynx]

Any other ways have? or just sell it on shop

[surreal verge]

Drop them on the floor.

And forget they exist

[stone lynx]

Oke)

[faint cape]

No, it's not a direct multiplier like that, but none of the boss-only drops are very rare on 300+ corruption

[toxic anvil]

What is the multiplier then?

[faint cape]

We don't know exactly

Some people have data mined some stuff, and they seem to think they have a good idea of how the final chance is calculated, but we'll probably never get dev confirmation on it

[toxic anvil]

Huh, do we know why devs don’t usually give that info?

[faint cape]

Stuff related to item acquisition is typically not shared because people don't understand random chance stuff. It basically just makes people feel bad, in general

[stone lynx]

yup, but need database with chance. like as Path of Exile, where some unique 0.0001391 like that. I need know how runs need to drop some unique, if that 100 run = fine, but if 10000 run, i dont do that.

that build basic concept for HC mode. if some unique hard to get, this only way change build

[faint cape]

Yeah, we know close enough what the actual drop rates are. All boss drops like Heart of Uhkeiros are very reasonable to target farm at least 0 LP.

Like everything, it's not worth your time to target farm monoliths outside of empowered (level 100 content)

[stone lynx]

for HC another rules, I have 1 char who do 90lvl content. Other just die. For HC chance very need, that farming time, and great it y know what you farm and +- know how you get item.

Like heart dragon.
2 day farm and i get that heart on 13 repeat. That good.
8 hour farm Last Steps
3 hour Lich Scorn.

that very good if i have static basic chance and can calculate how need repeat and how rarity i need, that fine where you say need 300+ corrupt, yes. but on HC that hard to stay safe 300+ where you dont have small uniques like as heart

[native sail]

Wait until you learn that it isn't pseudo-RNG and it's entirely possible (and not uncommon) that your 5% chance won't hit for 50 runs in a row :)

[zealous tusk]

If I create a new character, can it continue the monolith of my main character?

[sinful laurel]

No

[zealous tusk]

I see. 😢
