[zealous tusk]

Is the campaign important? Or I can skip it?

I finished it on my other character thou

[sinful laurel]

You can go right to monos once you hit end of time but you will need to go back anyways for idol slots and passive points

[zealous tusk]

Ahhh alright ill just start over again then.

[brave path]

campaign is important because at the end you get a free +1 to all stats, and doing the campaign is how you unlock idol slots and that

campaign goes quick too so not bad redoing it (coming from someone who has leveled 20 characters)

[obtuse karma]

Load times still long? Last time I played (lightning tornado bug) I spent half my endgame waiting to load

[cinder fossil]

cant speak for multiplayer but my load times are a couple seconds at most

helps that im on an m2

[brave path]

havent played in a bit (last week)...but loading times at WORST were maybe 5-10 seconds...but that was rare...most everything was 2 seconds

[swift star]

Do you get one passive/level?

[toxic anvil]

what's this in regards to?

[zealous tusk]

In farming empowered monolith should I kill the echo boss? Or just farm for corruption?

[brave path]

while leveling you get 1 passive per level + the (18?) you earn from the story (open your map and it will tell you)

[brave path]

i always farm til i can fight the boss, fight the boss, then reset the web with the shade of orobys fight

rinse and repeat to build corruption while still farming for what i need

if things get too hard or you arent clearing echoes fast, there is a reset to reduce corruption

[zealous tusk]

After killing boss web will reset automatically?

[brave path]

no no you need to find one of the like "echoes of the world" or something at the edges of the web

lemme see if i got one unlocked somewhere i can show you

also for this reason, you should be relatively going in a straight line AWAY from the starting point

[zealous tusk]

Ahhh ive seen that one.

[zealous tusk]

Just keep on doing those?

[brave path]

these are how you build corruption

[zealous tusk]

I see. So higher corruption means better loot right?

[brave path]

every time you kill the boss of an echo you get 1 gaze of orobyss

when you do that reset echo it gives you more corruption per gaze

(but if you die in that fight you lose all gaze)

[brave path]

higher drop rates, and some items can only be dropped at certain corruptions

[zealous tusk]

Whats the purpose of gaze orobyss?

[brave path]

this

[zealous tusk]

Ahh okay thank you. Now i get it.

[brave path]

🙂

[zealous tusk]

Also having stability is no use?

[brave path]

gaining stability is how you fight the boss of the monolith

[zealous tusk]

That boss is no use?

[brave path]

you need 900 stability to fight the boss

[zealous tusk]

I mean no need to kill?

[brave path]

you kill the boss for loot/blessings and the gaze of orobyss

which means more corruption

[zealous tusk]

Alright thank you so much for teaching me

[brave path]

np 🙂

[quick shadow]

__newbie question: __
**necromancer **- does **abomination **after consuming lets say skeletons benefits also consume form thier dmg / health nodes ?

[acoustic thicket]

has the story campaign been finished? last i played the snake boss was the last one

[surreal verge]

no

[surreal verge]

No

[quick shadow]

ok 😦

[fathom jetty]

I see some masteries only have 4 skills, are they planning to give everyone 5 ?

[buoyant sinew]

yes, IIRC it's quite a high priority

[crude jewel]

the squirrel helm do i need to farm on 100 mono or is it also possible to get on 66?

[pale hedge]

Hey, does anyone know why I can't swap RMB and LMB?

[desert tree]

Item lvl 76(iirc) mean you need to be in a zone at least lvl 76.
And anyway farming empowered (lvl 100) is always better

[desert tree]

Technical limitations

[pale hedge]

what does that mean? When I played it few months ago I could've switch it easily

[desert tree]

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

[fathom jetty]

thanks :p

[crude jewel]

ah i see thanks that make sense, yea its 76... so if you say 100 is always better, lets say i would want farm an 65 lvl unique, 100 is still better cause in general higher rarity chance?

[polar holly]

is mana strike bugged? i should be getting way more than 30 ish mana each hit with this tree

[desert tree]

How much do you get?

On non crit you should be getting 84 ish

[polar holly]

oh i understand what is happening now, it gives 2 ticks of mana for some reasons

maybe it's an online thing

[desert tree]

Yeah some mana is delayed

Iirc it's meant to be like this. There is some kind of mana orb that travel back to you

[junior orchid]

Heya chat, so I saw a build and wanted to create a loot filter for the build planner. If I'm at mono's should I just make the strictness on it Strict and not Regular? I'm also not sure if I should checkmark the "valuable affixes" option.

[desert tree]

Are you using le tools?

[junior orchid]

The website, yeah.

[desert tree]

Strictness is to narrow down to a specific base

Valuable affixes is good for shattering

[junior orchid]

oh okay.

[desert tree]

I like Valuable Affixes personnaly

[junior orchid]

I guess it's fine for me to use regular for now since I'm still in the leveling process in mono atm.

[crude jewel]

ehm why is the middle still closed? what does that mean?

[desert tree]

Cause you are in Empowered

You don't need to do the first 2 quests to get to the boss fight

But you need to do the first to unlock the second

[crude jewel]

-.- the quests where not open thats why i ask, found the tiny plus oO

[faint cape]

Yeah, no reason to un-minimize them and run them really, unless you want to run down dangerous modifiers without running actual echoes

There's also some rare cases where you might need to do one or two to complete the quest for opening both paths (if you skip the quest echo that has the choice in it, it auto-picks the lower level path) - if you blast the regular monos in the standard way, the only quest echo you have to do in empowered is the first for BFD.

[humble steeple]

Guys, i turned enemies health bars on, but it doesn't work. I tried various options, but nothing helped. And a month ago it worked. And now it works for my friend, but not for me.

[stone lynx]

Someone know how that chance work>?

5 zombie = 5% chance?

[sinful laurel]

What's 100 divided by 5?

[pastel pebble]

5/100

[misty helm]

each ring keeps 1 perma zombie

[stone lynx]

yes i see! thanks! that good ring!

[misty helm]

and you don't really get more zombies than that with the rez feature, but rng def can keep a big army of them alive for a few cycles.
5 zombies->1zombie rez
4->1
3, 2, 1 -> 1 zombie

yeah, ring is busted and in many builds

[quaint blade]

New player here. Can any unique item drop for any character, or are they weighted to be more likely for their intended character? Also, for unique items that aren't specialized for a certain class or character, like rings, are the drops weighted the same?

[wide sentinel]

i think it rolls the base first then rarity, so if its class specific base for other classes its more rare otherwise no weights

[quaint blade]

Thanks for the fast answer

[native sail]

There is zero class weighting for uniques

[sudden trellis]

does Twisted Heart not have a chance of rolling with LP?

[native sail]

There's only 5 uniques in the game that cannot have LP; Gambler's Fallacy, Avarice, Orichirian Petals (or whatever the fuck it's called), The Cuckoo, and Merophage.

I am not including WW items for obvious reasons

[quick crown]

when you use "Eterras Blessing" with the upgrade that heals nearby allies too, will that also grant them any buffs that the blessing gives as well?

or will it only heal them?

[native sail]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAwVgHATAjAbEA

[quick crown]

im trying to find a way to buff all my companions and not only the one i cast it on

[sudden trellis]

so I'm just unlucky, 3 twisted no LP. thanks!

[native sail]

That's not unlucky

That's normal

You have less than a 15% chance to get 1LP on it

[lunar holly]

that node will pretty much cast this at the target location https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/healing_nova

[quick crown]

so it wont grant any of the buffs to the surrounding targets? only heals?

for example this buff

[balmy current]

I haven't even been able to get 1, let alone with LP....

[sharp frigate]

Has the pvp release been released?

[surreal verge]

The pvp plan is “farfarfar into the future”

[sharp frigate]

Oh so it has not been released?

I thought it was due to be released like when the new diablo was coming out

[surreal verge]

No

They dont even plan to have it anytime soon

I dont think they mentioned it

[sharp frigate]

Oh was it multiplayer that came out recently?

[surreal verge]

Yes

[sharp frigate]

Oh sorry, how is that going? When did it go live?

[quick crown]

the multiplayer went live in april this year or something?

apart from the servers feeling a bit laggy during peak hours i feel the multiplayer is working fine

[native sail]

Multiplayer came out March 2023

[icy drift]

@quick crown yeah from the wording the aoe heal shouldn't apply the buffs.

[quick crown]

hmm, i see, its as i feared

i was hoping it would be an easy way to buff my companions

on the topic of companions though... is
Companions = Minions in terms of stats on gear and passives?
does minion passives and stat on gear affect companions too?

[native sail]

Yea

[quick crown]

im assuming it is

[native sail]

All companions are minions, not all minions are companions (this also applies to totems if you replace "companion" with "totem")

[quick crown]

i see

im planning on using the wolf companions

since i can make them cold minions

[native sail]

Wolves are great, they have multiple viable builds

[quick crown]

artor's Legacy with +wolf skill legendary mod and dual Apogee of frozen light is my plan, since i can get lvl 29 or 30 wolves with that

[native sail]

It'll end up literally worse than squirrels in the long run but that's cuz squirrels are busted as fuck

[quick crown]

just need to find an artors legacy with at least 1LP

[sterile widget]

7% chance to drop from echo reward and 19% chance to have 1LP. Ezpz right. Good luck!

[fluid wagon]

hey guys, if i have +lightning spell damage but cast a cold spell, does that +lightning spell dmg not do anything unless converted?

[sinful laurel]

The spell will still carry the lightning damage, it just won't get boosted by any cold damage modifiers

[fluid wagon]

oooo awesome

im trying to find ways to make alluvion work on beastmaster.. xd ty

so.. if the spell carries the lightning dmg, and i have +lightning damage % on my ring or something, i imagine that increases my spell lightning dmg on my cold spell.

so whats the point of the spell being a cold spell at that point? is that only important for the base spell damage and any general spell damage you have laying around?

[sinful laurel]

It matters because it changes the tags of the skill. And will interact with any mechanics that are damage type specific. And yes any adaptive damage will adapt to the new damage type of the skill

It's a lot harder to have a solid build that splits damage types, most of the time on most builds

[fluid wagon]

awesome, thank you primeval!

[main musk]

Hi, I finished the End of time stuff in last epoch, how do I unlock empower mode?

[buoyant sinew]

go to the island between the three 90 timelines and click the device in the middle

[main musk]

thank you @buoyant sinew

does the exclusive echo reward applies to normal or only legendary?

[cinder fossil]

both but you're not gonna be in normal long enough for that to matter

[surreal verge]

Both, but the spawn rates in normal are trash

[main musk]

Yeah I see that now, trying to farm for aberrant call but no luck lol

[orchid atlas]

hello everyone, was wondering if this will be steam deck compatible?

[desert tree]

It's already working on it

You may have to tweak a few things but from what I have read from other people it's working pretty well

[fading girder]

Hello! i was looking at this flame wraith build and it used titan heart. but how can you get hp back with no regen and not attacking?

[desert tree]

Do you have the link for the build?

[fading girder]

oooooohhhh

im dumb! haha tyty

would you say its worth doing the build if you only have aberrant + titan?

[desert tree]

It's a very strong build

[fading girder]

i dont have gloves yet or relic

[desert tree]

Don't need them to start

[fading girder]

alr! thanks agin

[desert tree]

Just the staff

So you are good to start imo

[fading girder]

it doesnt have lp but pretty nice roll?

[desert tree]

The rest is to go from good to holy shit it's broken

+12 wraiths jeez

[fading girder]

i was farming it for like 10hrs.. then i gave up and found it while looking for twink gear for another char lol

in my stash...

[fading girder]

is there any way to see if you missed a passive point quest?

[desert tree]

Open your map, bottom left corner

Should says idols 8/8 and passives 15/15

If you have that you are good

[fading girder]

ty!

[fading girder]

am i missing something here?

[desert tree]

Did you watch the video?

[fading girder]

sorry. i mssread the skill text!

[desert tree]

I am asking because I not a big Acolyte player and I am sure he explains the guide very well

[fading girder]

i did. but i read that as "the minions are the only ones that can leech" and got confused hehe

[void pine]

Anyone know how much gold it'd take to rest ALL passives at lvl 70?

[surreal verge]

It takes about 50k for all points, so.

[void pine]

Thx

[desert tree]

Just to confirm, Bleed Duration is a More Dmg Multiplier for Bleed right ?

[fringe birch]

yup

[fading imp]

Until which part of the campaign do i need to do that has enough side quests to get the 15 passive and 8 idol slots?

[sinful laurel]

Here's for passive points https://www.lastepochtools.com/checklist/quests/passives

And idol slots https://www.lastepochtools.com/checklist/quests/idols

[desert tree]

You can get them all at the end of Heobora

[surreal verge]

Right before you reach lagon's island/dungeon

[wind blaze]

so I get this rune that turns item into unique

should I use it first

or try to forge item and then use it?

it's confusing

also I used it but got shit out of it

[sinful laurel]

Forging the item is pointless as it will turn into a unique

[wind blaze]

ok but should I save these runes

or use them

do we get them often?

[sinful laurel]

Use them to try and get a unique that is important for your build

[wind blaze]

I had two, used two, not sure if it's good but got 2x shitty item

way below my lvl

[sinful laurel]

You get a fair few now with the exiled mage and new chests

[wind blaze]

but it's not like 2 per game

and I used 2

right?

they're just rare?

[sinful laurel]

I have like 100 I think

[wind blaze]

👍

ok good to know

[sinful laurel]

You will find enough to try for the item you want

But smart to not just use them randomly

[wind blaze]

I am regrinding new char, cause my HC died and I want to have HC one

now at 34lvl

previous one died at 33

[sinful laurel]

Nice nice

[wind blaze]

ok so 1. no point forging if I plan to turn to unique

turning to unique is just lucky roll?

cause I got stuff not for my class even

oh one more question !

I dropped some strange key

[sinful laurel]

The rune chooses based on the base item type and the rarity of the unique

[wind blaze]

red color around the item

[sinful laurel]

Keys are for dungeons or arena

[wind blaze]

ok so with lvl 34 I better keep it and not use it?

for whatever it is

[sinful laurel]

On HC, probably.

[wind blaze]

yeah it's HC

[sinful laurel]

Tier 1 dungeons are level 55 iirc. Which is totally doable at 35 but not worth the risk most likely

[wind blaze]

What's arena?

I was told there is no pvp sadly

[sinful laurel]

No pvp. Arena is like endless waves of enemies

[wind blaze]

sad

[sinful laurel]

Lol pvp in an arpg

[wind blaze]

that would be awesome

HC character

and pvp ❤️

[sinful laurel]

It's always an afterthought joke let's be real

[wind blaze]

I like big stakes in game

[sinful laurel]

I've never seen true pvp be highly popular in an arpg, except maybe d2 but that's debatable

I know, ive seen your suggestions

[wind blaze]

dunno I play also AlbionOnline with full loot wearing gear worth weeks of grind

[sinful laurel]

I can't imagine taking your hc char into pvp and getting instagibbed, losing everything lol

But you do you

[wind blaze]

for the adrenaline rush it's worth it

besides it would be hc vs hc I imagine

albion has these corrupted dungeons, where on third corruption tire you enter, and can't exit until you defeat someone spawning randomly in your dungeon ❤️

it's lovely

[sinful laurel]

You died at 33 in the campaign though lol

[wind blaze]

cause of game freeez though

playing on Linux and sometimes I get 6-10s freezes

[sinful laurel]

And pvp would be freeze free?

[wind blaze]

already reported

[wind blaze]

I imagine I get better laptop when they introduce it

or fix the issue

[sinful laurel]

Just seems...like a really shit environment to lose your character in lol

But I digress

[wind blaze]

it's fine

there is some sensation of danger from playing HC char and risking dieing on freeze

😄

if I can't get pvp at least I can get that

[cedar locust]

PvG - Player vs Goose

Get that desktop Goose App that nabs your cursor, leaves muddy foot prints across the screen among other high-jinks!

[sinful laurel]

Goose vs player. New assymetric pvp game

5 geese hunt one player

[cedar locust]

That's just Untitled Goose Game if you could play as the NPCs

[sinful laurel]

And they are armed to the teeth

[cedar locust]

I'm reminded of the knife wielding goose pin I own xD

[wind blaze]

I wish this game had PvP already

or some sorts of match matching

that you get players of similar lvl

[sinful laurel]

Like geese needed knives to be scary AF 🙂

[cedar locust]

Mike did mention is was a future, future plan for players that want it!

I'd be worried about the old Runescape - 'hey follow me to this area to get great loot' 'prank' that used to be a thing, though I imagine the team will take that into consideration when designing a PvP area.

[cedar locust]

Truth

[fading imp]

Are crafting shards plenty enough that I can afford to craft decent items during campaign or is campaign easy enough that I should save my shards for end game?

[faint cape]

Feel free to craft, you'll get more stuff than you could ever use eventually

[fading imp]

Cool thats the answer i was hoping to see. Thank you

[crude jewel]

tempest strike cost mana if it procs?

[faint cape]

No

[crude jewel]

so earth spikes are free? why does it says then 20 mana on letools?

[faint cape]

Yeah, none of the spells consume mana to cast. Not sure about the totem procs in tempest strike, but I don't think those use your mana, either. The technical answer is, because it would cost 20 mana if you were able to put it on your bar and cast it or if procced by something that uses the cost.

[wide sentinel]

someone is still playing tempest strike?

[fading imp]

Is there a way to make firebrand deal BOTH fire and lightning damage?

[faint cape]

Not conversion-wise like flame reave, but you can give it +lightning damage and that will technically work; or if you convert it to lightning, you can give it +fire damage.

[sinful laurel]

But no way to have it have both tags no

Not like fireball

[faint cape]

Oh yeah, fireball does that, too. It's so interesting how many fire+lightning skills there are lol

[fading imp]

Aw sad, i was hoping to do a firebrand+flame reave fire/lightning damage

I love the half/half type nodes

[sinful laurel]

Nah. But you can still function firebrand the exact same way and have it boost up your flame reave similarly

[fading imp]

Which ones do half fire/half lightning? Fireball, disintegrate, flame reave, what else?

[sinful laurel]

I think that's it?

[faint cape]

Ele nova and runebolt kinda can. There are several runic invocations, too

https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/runic_invocation/invocations

[sinful laurel]

Oh ele nova yeah, with the right nodes

[fading imp]

Oh yeah ele nova how could i forget that

[sinful laurel]

I wasn't counting invos

[fading imp]

Vilatria's Downfall completely converts meteor's fire to lightning no? Not half half

[sinful laurel]

Correct

[orchid atlas]

ok thanks, wasnt sure if controller support was working yet, just got the game last night, would be nice to be able to play on the go as well as on my main pc

[toxic anvil]

i assume an abbysal echos damage build in isolation is a bad idea?

[buoyant sinew]

Abyssal echoes deals a ton of damage but it needs to be paired with something else to proc the echoes

I'd recommend devouring orb

[toxic anvil]

why orb?

[surreal verge]

Also a spell is probably why

[toxic anvil]

i cant really do crit at that point right?

[buoyant sinew]

also a spell, also has a cooldown so you can alternate them and not be missing damage, can hit very quickly to proc echoes in between each cast when using the triple cast node in abyssals echoes' tree

[buoyant sinew]

Personally when I've played the build I don't

Cause yeah it feels pretty wasteful

omnividence and call it a day

[toxic anvil]

wait orb only triggers when something dies right?

[buoyant sinew]

by default sure, the abyssal emission node makes it work well on single targets

[cedar locust]

I have some threads for 'controller' support, one specifically for Stead Deck! Let me find those for you!

[toxic anvil]

Wait where is that node?

[cedar locust]

@orchid atlas https://old.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/14j2whh/simple_movement_skill_fix/ - It's says movement fix but that link is a player guide for setting up Controller to work around the targeting issue!

This one for more generic advice for Steam Deck that might help a little - https://old.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/1559pgc/is_anyone_successfully_playing_this_on_steam_deck/

There's the threads if you need them!

[buoyant sinew]

top right of devouring orb's tree

[lament perch]

just so i dont ask the devs a redundant question, swapping blessings is not a thing currently, right?
Lets say i have a 39% rolled crit multi blessing and swap that over to void res after the boss fight, do i have to farm the roll on the crit multi blessing all over, or can i swap back to it, because i have already obtained it prior?

[desert tree]

It is not currently a thing no

[surreal verge]

Refarm it.

[sinful laurel]

but soon

supposedly

1.0 i think?

[lament perch]

will come soon? hell yeah

thats the only thing bugging me about endgame atm

[sinful laurel]

yeah the blessing grind is real, and switching builds just to do it all again for a new setup hurts

[desert tree]

Yep

[lament perch]

yeah, i can choose to run with 35% void res until i drop new boots or drop BiS gloves on another base or wasting my perfectly rolled blessing, both options kinda suck.
Farming perfect blessigns once is more than enough of a grind, refarming all that for 1 gear swap seems a bit overkill

but glad to hear it, as always LE is pulling through with great changes

[fading girder]

is it possible to get this mod as exalted modifier? and is it rarer then others?

[sinful laurel]

You can get any non unique affix as exalted yes

Idk about rArity but generally class specific affixes, which this one is, are rarer. With plus to skills affixes rarer still

[fading girder]

even rarer cuz hybrid mod? or nah

[surreal verge]

Nah

[sinful laurel]

Nah

The affix is just the affix

Make sure you are highlighting it in your filter though if you really need it/want to see it

So you don't miss any

[fading girder]

i have a build filter but idk how to edit it

[icy drift]

shift + F

[surreal verge]

Acolyte only, very rare

[fading girder]

well yeah.. but how do i add it?

[icy drift]

make a new rule -> affix -> select the affix you want to show. Set the rule to recolour and then whatever colour you want it to be

and if you don't want to see tier 1 of that affix you can press the advanced settings under the affix condition and set the "individual affix tier" to whatever you want

[fading girder]

like this?

[icy drift]

i'd recommend starting at maybe 3

yes

instead of show on the left, have it be recolour

and then pick a colour

make sure to put this rule above any other rules that might hide said items

[fading girder]

is this correct?

[icy drift]

no

you can't have tier 100

tier 7 is max

[fading girder]

oh i thought it was roll

[icy drift]

set it to 3 or something so you can use the low tier items as crafting fodder

nah it's tier

you can't filter for rolls

[fading girder]

but other then that it was ok?

[icy drift]

yes

[fading girder]

total affix i can leave as is?

[icy drift]

yes

just make sure there are no hide rules above this one that can hide the item

[fading girder]

its top?

[icy drift]

that works

[fading girder]

tyvm! ❤️

[icy drift]

np

[cold pumice]

Is there any plans on buffing void knight, build has been b to c tier forever

[surreal verge]

We don't know balance changes.

[crude jewel]

why not playing tempest strike?

do you know what i want to achieve?

[surreal verge]

Tempest strike is a peepeepoopoo skill.

(One of the game's worse skills)

[fading girder]

is there any place that drops more exalted bodys?

[crude jewel]

can you elaborate this a bit exactly why?

[surreal verge]

1.Does not scale by attack speed.
2.Melee spell hybrid where the spell proc is not consistent
3.tri-damage type, making it very bad to scale affix wise

[icy drift]

can't scale attack speed is the worst offender imo

[surreal verge]

Unlike Shadow cascade, where it converts attack speed into damage at least, Tempest strike gets NOTHING from attack speed.

[icy drift]

no it does

it gets ele pen

[surreal verge]

Oh right

That's still pretty eh

[wide sentinel]

The skill getting completely reworked and nothing that it has now stays, its is already confirmed and devs even made a post abt it

[crude jewel]

ok i see what you mean, but that doesnt care for me for what i try to achieve... and shadow cascade is not an primalist spell or am i wrong?

[surreal verge]

it's not. I'm just comparing

[crude jewel]

but that explain why its a bad spell

ty

ah i see

[surreal verge]

It's a bad skill overall.

[crude jewel]

gotcha

[icy drift]

low damage

inconsistent

[surreal verge]

It's getting reworked for a reason-

[icy drift]

and feels horribl

[surreal verge]

What are you trying to achieve?

[crude jewel]

OH its so bad that its getting reworked? lol okok, well then i use swipe ^^

[icy drift]

yes

[surreal verge]

Yeah it's bad enough that its getting reworked during 1.0

[wide sentinel]

The only thing u can achieve with that skill is getting 20 mana when you swing air, or do 0 damage if that was your goal

[icy drift]

in my opinion it's the literal worst skill in the game

[crude jewel]

building some kind of companian build, but i dont like use other builds, i try to find all out by myself (most of it), but i had to choose swipe or tempest strike

[icy drift]

and i went to 200 corruption with it

[surreal verge]

Swipe

Swipe has actual stuff that helps support companion builds

One way or another.

[crude jewel]

the most reason for tempest strike was the gain of mana

20 mana per hit would be nice

[crude jewel]

yea i saw that, especially the 100% heal looks promising

[surreal verge]

Do you NEED mana in a companion build tho

Companion skills don't cost mana to cast afaik

[crude jewel]

no clue iam still theory crafting :D my first try failed, a zoo build without attacking at all xD

[wide sentinel]

Ya swipe procs companion abaility every 2 seconds mana free

[crude jewel]

i mean its not a fail, but, well, i would need perfect items

[crude jewel]

and yes you right, but i thinking of changeing my zoo build to squirrl build with raptor and frenzy totem so i had 2 slots left and thought, MAYBE i dont do a non-attack-build and atk a bit xD

try and error

[surreal verge]

Swipe would be better for that use ye

There's even a node where it lets your wolves/squirrels to attack again whne you hit with swipe

[crude jewel]

yea that is maybe too in my build, first i need the squirrel helm, farming it 2 days now

thanks a lot for the answers and help! <3

[toxic anvil]

Can I have a build where I just spam devouring orbs and get a crap ton of emission triggers and orb collisions with orbiting orbs?

[buoyant sinew]

you basically just described devouring orb autobomber. it used to be a super meta build but it got nerfed multiple times in a row to the point where it's just ok now

it still clears well but it's pretty hard to get any sort of single target damage while doing that setup

[toxic anvil]

Why tough to get single target?

Doesn’t emission have good damage?

[buoyant sinew]

nope, not in the slightest

[toxic anvil]

wait fr?

LOL

oh 60 void 🤣

[buoyant sinew]

and every 1.5s

[toxic anvil]

and added damage from the tree doesn't translate

OOF

that's some crap dmg lol

[buoyant sinew]

the reason the echoes + devouring orb build works is because you're just using devouring orb to clear and proc echoes

it's not contributing much of its own single target damage

[toxic anvil]

echoes has a lot of clear too right?

[buoyant sinew]

well it depends how you spec it

[toxic anvil]

how does this echo thing work on echoes?

[buoyant sinew]

normally you do this if you're focussing around it

which means it doesn't bounce between enemies anymore but makes it deal craploads of damage

[buoyant sinew]

which exactly?

[toxic anvil]

A nova that echoes from up to 8 enemies it reaches and applies abyssal decay.

dat part

[buoyant sinew]

yeah that's the bouncing between enemies part

which the vorpal explosion node disables

[toxic anvil]

how does casting multiple rifts do anything?

there's no hit, just refresh duration?

[buoyant sinew]

because abyssal decay is consumed when anything else hits the enemy

so the idea is, you're using devouring orbs to constantly hit the enemy

so every time they get abyssal decay applied it's instantly consumed

which is why this setup does good damage

[toxic anvil]

ah got it

how fast does the rift cast echoes?

[buoyant sinew]

it's like half a second in between each cast IIRC?

been a while since I played it though

[toxic anvil]

and how fast do the orbs rotate?

[buoyant sinew]

slowly, you'd be better off looking at footage for that though cause it's been like 2 years since I played the orbiting version

[toxic anvil]

hahah aight

[buoyant sinew]

my understanding is that the cooldown/duration balance is really rough on the orbiting version now as well, so that will limit how many you have up

cause you have 50% less duration from the orbiting node and 40% more on the way to emission. so that's 70% of base duration, but you can't then take any of the cooldown reduction nodes in the devouring orb tree without copping another 40% less, so that's 42% of base duration. and if you wanted both sets of cooldown nodes you'd take ANOTHER 40% less so that's just not viable

whereas you used to get a much lower duration penalty and more CDR from the tree. nerfs in action

[wind blaze]

How this weaver will works?

do I need to do anything ?

or it automatically upgrades itself?

[pastel pebble]

It upgrades itself randomly as you kill mobs of enemies

[wind blaze]

but always better?

or just it can roll back down to worse?

[pastel pebble]

It will not move a T5 to T4

[faint cape]

@static raven For what it's worth, selling items is almost completely unnecessary. Even if it was very easy to do, I would recommend not bothering with it. I started enjoying the game a lot more personally when I stopped vendoring stuff, only thing I talk to the vendor for is to sell arena keys (and that is rare, too).

[sudden trellis]

is there a good youtuber for high corruption build guides, whatever the class? I know Curse has videos with like 600-700 corruption but most other guide videos are 150-170 max so not that very "endgame" builds.

[lean token]

what are you guys using for loot filters? I have been just using the one generated for my builds from LETools but was wondering if there was a better/preffered one i may have overlooked

[buoyant sinew]

I have a skeleton and spend 5 minutes adapting it to every new build I make, so I can make sure I'm targeting the right stuff for the build

though that strat will go out the window with trade

[fading girder]

i have some questions about LP crafting? if i have a staff with 1 lp.. i can only use a staff to sacrifice? how manu mods does it have to have minimum? and does it have to be exalted?

[buoyant sinew]

• you can only use a staff
• it must have four mods (sealed mods are not counted, and will be ignored by the merger)
• it must be exalted

[fading girder]

ty for clarifying!

[acoustic thicket]

600-700 is pretty high for most players, so anything higher will be harder to find

[safe harness]

The reason you won’t find this is because of the time investment to get to corruption this high. Content creators would rather create more builds than spend an extra 100 hours to prove the build can do harder content

[icy drift]

Yeah I honestly think that most builds are capable of getting pretty far (at least 500) with a decent amount of gearing, it's just that people don't have specific gear laying around to showcase that like awful said.

If a build can't get past like 200 corruption basically no matter what then something is almost fundementally wrong with it.

[orchid atlas]

Ok thank you for then I appreciate it

[pine trail]

Man I hate being in a spot where you do echos on one level really easy, and another level you strugglw with, like a mid level crissis lol

[toxic anvil]

Do enemies do more dmg at higher area levels?

[edgy sphinx]

So real quick, what on earth does THIS mean?

[subtle hemlock]

anyone know what the current playability level is on steam deck? Everything i can find is from like 6 months ago. Has much changed since then?

[fierce ibex]

i dont play on a steam deck specifically, but i do play on linux, and it works perfectly fine. someone a couple days ago said they had 400ish hours on the steam deck, so im gonna use that as a baring that the hardware is capable of running it. so running it through proton on the steam deck, should be playable all things considered.

[edgy sphinx]

Oh thanks I had NO idea! That's a cool mechanic.

[native sail]

@pastel pebble Your presence is requested

[pastel pebble]

Oh yeah, lol

That do be me

[subtle hemlock]

cool thank you! i will give it a try

[pastel pebble]

Proton Experimental IIRC

[fierce ibex]

i run it on 8.0-4

[fading girder]

what is a fast build thats easy to gear up? but is able to min-max?

[surreal verge]

Shadow Dagger BD,RipBloodGolem Necro
They do not need gear to work and can do a lot with only yellows, no unique required

[fading girder]

is that the one with the massive aoe circles?

[surreal verge]

You gotta be specific

(Dont think so)

[eternal coyote]

wait what? i was convinced that it doesnt matter what type of item it is as long as its the same slot

[surreal verge]

It must be the same item type as the unique

You would otherwise be able to get affixes that arent supposed to be on that item type

Eg: 1h sword with 1h sword

[eternal coyote]

so what maxroll wrote is actually wrong?

[cinder fossil]

the example they gave (gloves) is correct but it needs to be the same item type

i.e. staff with staff, 1h sword with 1h sword, boots with boots

[eternal coyote]

yeah but they explained the same item type with "fitting in the same slot" which means it doesnt matter the kind of item as long as it shares the same slot with the unique

[cinder fossil]

that part is wrong

[eternal coyote]

interresting

[cinder fossil]

i think the in-game guide gives the correct explanation

so its kinda weird that they got that wrong

[surreal verge]

Wow they gave a fucking terrible example

[eternal coyote]

i didnt read the ingame explaination for this tbh i only looked it up there

but outside of weapons this would be correct

because theres nothing else that would fit in the slot

but for weapons theres different types

even through they fit in the same gear slot

[heady salmon]

Hi. I am relatively new to the arpg scene, having played through the poe campaign and 2 Grim dawn characters. I've been looking for a new ARPG, as those ones didn't quite feel right for me (PoE too complex and GD kind of tedious). I have heard of bugs and skill/class balance issues being potential factors against LE, and was wondering how people felt about this:)

Also is it crazy complex like Poe?

[native sail]

Most bugs aren't gamebreaking, but the skill and class balance is quite bad right now. There's still plenty of build variety but there are a few skills where trying to make them your main skill is a fool's errand. It's also bad in the sense that the top end builds are pushing magnitudes further into endgame stuff (though this isn't really needed since it's technically infinite) than others.

The complexity isn't anywhere near PoE levels. I'd even go so far as saying Grim Dawn is more complex than LE. LE is far more casually approachable in its structure than either of them, but still maintains more depth than Diablo as a whole. LE is great if you're not trying to completely main an ARPG and only an ARPG for extreme amounts of time, imo (this is coming from someone with several thousand hours of PoE, hundreds in D2/3/4, a couple hundred in GD, and still put in over 1100 in LE and am just waiting for updates or inspiration now).

[heady salmon]

ill probably wait then. It seems like an awesome ARPG, one that's way more approachable than PoE or GD's components and augs for ultimate SR. Ive been looking for a fun endgame for a while, but I think Ill hold to see if class/skill balance gets an update

[native sail]

There's some stuff being changed at release in Feb to address the gaps in power which theoretically speaking should bring the immense distance between a good build and a great build in how far they push.
Past that it's really just a lot of number tweaking and praying EHG addresses the vast differences in defensive options between classes.

[heady salmon]

Other than that though, is the game still fun/snappy to play? I loved the movement in PoE and GD, and sofar havent seen that in L.E.

[native sail]

LE is not going to reach the speeds of PoE or GD by design. I'd be surprised if it ever hits the zoom-zoom mach 9 speed clear meta that PoE has been in for years now.
The game does feel good in my opinion, things click reasonably well, there's a lot to explore and test, and it's rather intuitive for an ARPG. But it's also a lot more mechanical and player skill oriented in its fight design, enemies aren't there to just be mowed down by the hundreds per second. Large enemies are supposed to be a danger and they pull that off well especially as you push further and further into the endgame.
You can still move relatively fast when setup for it, but it will likely never be a situation of running every single map in under a minute.

[heady salmon]

thats fair. I thought PoE was a bit excessive tbh

GD was nicer with dash runes

[native sail]

I'd say LE is closer to GD speed, but GD does have some very, very fast moving things in it as far as I can remember. I'm not a perfect judge as I haven't played it in a good while (I believe @sinful laurel is a big GD fan so they can probably compare that better than me). There's a good wealth of videos on LE so far that can definitely give a reasonable view on the overall speed of the game though.

[heady salmon]

Ill defs look into it more. LE looks promising sofar, as I want a more chill ARPG tbh. Dont have the time I used to

[native sail]

LE is pretty good at respecting your time as long as you are reasonable with expectations. Some people have gotten a little antsy with expectations here and as such pooled their time into only searching for perfect gear (which is very hard to do because of how many variables there are), this is a bad mentality imo. It should theoretically get easier when trading is released, but that's another discussion (and is by no means going to be the best for everyone).
I've been playing the game since 2020 and can personally attest that there hasn't really been a time where I've felt like anything was actually unattainable despite my memeing about desire sensor hating me (I am on the extreme end of bad luck for several things, it's pretty amazing), and I know people who have less time than me with more "done".

[heady salmon]

I dont need the very best gear. Just stuff that works

well enough to do endgame to get better gear, etc etc

Like, in GD I farmed for a armor set. Didnt care about min maxing roles. Just got the set and ran it

was fun

[native sail]

I have far from best gear on most characters I play and I can handle most of the content as long as I play smart on the majority of my fleshed out builds. I play for "good enough" rather than perfect.

And whenever I do get something that's really good my dopamine surges and my neurons activate, that's when the cooking starts.

[heady salmon]

yep. How it be

thanks for the help. Dunno if I should wait for release/balance changes, or just find a reddit post on what classes are good and run the coolest looking one of those

[native sail]

Anytime. Always willing to talk. I can safely say that there's only three "bad" masteries in the game and it's mainly because one has terrible defenses and the other two just have bad build variety. Out of the... 13(?) available right now, that's not terrible imo. The balance is mostly an issue when you look at like, the top performing couple builds and compare it to the rest (or look at the few skills that are just genuinely bad Acid Flask you will be viable one day I swear it)

[heady salmon]

Lemme guess, its the druid and friends that suck?

whats it

primalist?

[native sail]

Shaman has bad variety, Forgeguard has bad variety, and Marksman has bad defenses (but capability for absolutely outrageous damage). Druid is actually one of the best things in the game right now, it has probably the single highest hit damage build so far?

[heady salmon]

oh damn nvm

got confused with all the D4 hate

[brave path]

ill say this as a long time ARPG player...Last Epoch (even with the current bugs and being early access still) is by far the best ARPG out there

[native sail]

That is... purely subjective.

[brave path]

it has a nice middle ground to being easy to learn, but intricate enough for the end game, with tons of customization

[brave path]

everything is subjective when you are looking at what feels right for you as a person

[native sail]

I mean, sure, but you can't call something "the best by far" as if it's a fact. That is inherently an opinion.

[hot carbon]

i mean that's just wrong deias because my opinions actually ARE fact

[native sail]

I will throw your laptop into the woods. You know I can.

[hot carbon]

hey...

[brave path]

LOL every review and report on a game is ALWAYS an opinion...like what are you even talking about?

[heady salmon]

this is all fair. I am well aware that Im getting inherrantly biased info by asking all this in the L.E server. But I wanted to see what those who actually play the game think about it

[hot carbon]

le game = p good

le community = can't comprehend that i don't enjoy mono's and am legit here for the campaign

[native sail]

Except most reviews and reports on something come with the nuance of putting its positives against its negatives. Which is what I did. You just swooped in and went "yeah this is the best game in the genre" without supplying anything else to the conversation.

Right. This is gonna likely devolve further. I'm gonna bounce.

[hot carbon]

eat your noodles like a good foodie

[heady salmon]

fair enough. Thanks:)

[hot carbon]

om nom

[brave path]

ive played diablo 1/2/3/4, PoE, GD, Torchlight, and many other ARPGs

LE has a very easy start that allows you to play the way you want to right from the get go
respeccing is very cheap and easy so you don't have to worry about "messing up" later on
if you are a min/maxer there is a LOT you can delve into to further enhance your play
it isnt anywhere as intimidating as PoE for your average player, so more people will likely give the game a go
combat just flat feels good, especially compared to a lot of the ARPGs over the last couple years
the crafting system is very user friendly so it is easy to learn and not get overwhelmed with random stats (like PoE and GD can do)

[brave path]

you literally responded .5 seconds after i sent the first message without giving time to continue the conversation at all

just to be a dick

[hot carbon]

no actually you're both dicks- <3

[native sail]

And yet you let me move in.

[icy snow]

are servers down?

Yep EU West is fine for me

Just in case no-one said - you can also use LETools to check the in game guide, afaik, all the information there is lifted word for word from the game!

[fading imp]

Any way to farm gold aside from monos and selling arena keys? Accidentally ran out from the gambler didn't realize it cost that much

[pastel pebble]

You'll find plenty as you progress in monoliths

Raising corruption and aiming for gold nodes will do a good deal alongside getting the gold blessing from.the first timeline

[fading imp]

But what about what I can do now? Im on a character that can't do monoliths yet so i suppose I'll hop on my other characters to farm the gold?

[pastel pebble]

Are they past the campaign?

[minor vigil]

what do you need gold for exactly

the gambler isn't very useful after low levels

[icy drift]

Lightless arbour dungeon and stash tabs

[surreal verge]

Lightless arbour, the gambling dungeon, can burn you up to 5mil per run

[minor vigil]

i mean

the person who was asking

if thye're not even in monos

[fading imp]

Stashtabs

This is my 3rd character so i've accumulated tons of items (though admittedly most of which i might not even need lol)

New stash tab costs 70k now

[sinful laurel]

Wait till you have 200 tabs 🙂

[fading imp]

Will probably reach that eventually because this game is jsut too fun

[cedar locust]

Could be time to 'spring clean' you Stash tabs, I did this recently - takes time but you might be surprised by what you're hoarding that you don't need any more

[sinful laurel]

Eh. 1.0 will spring clean for me 🙂

[pastel pebble]

Lmfao the ol PoE method

[icy drift]

I got all the premium tabs I could ever want in Poe, except I could use a couple more quad tabs NGL

Can always use more quads

[hard nebula]

Hello Everyone. The game keeps crashing whenever I try to play online, does anybody know why or if there is a fix?

[cedar locust]

Where in the load/log-in process does the crash happen? Which server are you connecting to?
Where are you playing from?

[hard nebula]

I am playing from Jordan, it's in the middle east. I choose the EU west server since it has 56 ms lag in my location
the crash happens when I make the character and start the game, it loads for a while then crashes.

[cedar locust]

Do you happen to have a VPN to test something out?

[hard nebula]

I do

[cedar locust]

Turn on the VPN, local is fine - then try loading in

[hard nebula]

Okay

I'll try it now

[cedar locust]

Thanks!

[eternal coyote]

i wonder if theres a standalone tool for last epoch?

[hard nebula]

It worked.

[eternal coyote]

like poe and grim dawn have

i forgot the name for the grim dawn one xD

[cedar locust]

Okie dokes, that means the issue could be between your internet service provider and our servers. You might have to reach out to who you get your internet from and ask if they can do anything.

It's also worth checking to see if any of these are blocked by your firewall or any other settings:

• api.eu-west-1.aiv-delivery.net
• df4fe.playfabapi.com
• config.uca.cloud.unity3d.com
• perf-events.cloud.unity3d.com
• collect.analytics.unity3d.com

[cedar locust]

Not that I know of, though I'm not familiar with the other tools myself.

[eternal coyote]

https://pathofbuilding.community/ like this

[hard nebula]

Will do. Appreciate the help!

[eternal coyote]

i know grim dawn also had something like this where you could put items in slot and so on watching the numbers go

literally an build planner with gear and stats

[cedar locust]

If the ping isn't too bad, you are allowed to use a VPN to play - it doesn't flag anything internal on our side!

Not a permanent solution of course, but a workaround for now!

[hard nebula]

I will try the tip and ask my ISP to see the issue. Also the ping is not bad at 76 ms

[cedar locust]

You should have a scout around LETools and Tunklabs! Both of those have some useful tools for in game stuff, like LETools has a build planner that you can upload your existing characters to!

[eternal coyote]

yeah but all of them are online tools and lacking numbers like dps you deal for example at least i didnt see it

[sinful laurel]

Tbf LEtools is starting to develop that framework. It works for a few skills so far, but idk how accurate it is

[slow saffron]

Hey guys, I haven't been able to play since a few weeks after multiplayer patch because my client will crash as soon as I try to login to online. I tried to login today and the bug still exists for me, any news on this old issue?

[surreal verge]

Did you try verifying your files and or reinstalling?

[slow saffron]

I did, im able to log in and play my offline characters.

[surreal verge]

That's fucking wild, half the time the issue is imcomplete downloads, you might want to submit a report, does offline work for you?

[hard nebula]

it's the same issue with me, try a vpn and see if you still can't play online

[cedar locust]

If a VPN works for you then it might be your Internet Service Provider having an issue with out Servers, you can try reaching out to them to see if they can help.

It's also worth reaching out to our Support Team with your Player.log files!

[cedar locust]

Just spotted this in the Rogue Channel and thought you might like to see it - https://old.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/16bo10x/join_the_last_epoch_optimizer_team/ - Zeckar is working on a Path of Building Tool for LE!

oh nice its already in a dev stage

think it will still take a few years tho

[lunar bison]

question for folks playing/played necromancer minion builds - how good is abomination? Just getting into monos after finishing story and not sure which minions to pick?

[sinful laurel]

Very good if you set it up properly

[icy drift]

@reef elm fix what? it's saying they're on an offline character, are they not?

[reef elm]

not, only online game

[icy drift]

so you're saying they're on an online character but it's saying they're on an offline one?

[reef elm]

yes, I go online and see other players, but on another account he writes to me that I play offline and this happens periodically

[icy drift]

do you have two accounts? O.o

i'm sorry i'm not really understanding to be honest

[lunar holly]

ill just link this

lot of things

[slow saffron]

I tried using hotspot from my phone and it connected straight to the game. Thanks, now to contact the ISP. 😭

[icy drift]

Do you guys know why this is? Luckily I don't have this issue but I've never really heard of other games having it at all

[crisp abyss]

So making a character in Offline mode wont allow me to play it in Online mode?

[native sail]

Correct. Online and offline are completely separate and there are no plans to change that due to possible exploitation.

[crisp abyss]

Got it. Anyway I rarely play with anyone 😂 just gonna make a character in offline mode then.

[misty helm]

i legit wouldn't play the game if it didn't have offline mode. i think that has been my biggest grievance with all games post D2 era. I feel like video games lost a LOT when 'hotseat' was removed from game modes list (right there with LAN).

[wide sentinel]

how so?

i mean unless you are living in certain parts of the world there is no issue

[desert tree]

1.0 will release a full offline mode btw

[distant bone]

i cant join the game in 3hours .. when i want to move to another town it currupt out of the game..

can anyone help me

[storm blaze]

Verify game files?

[distant bone]

i reinstall 5times

[desert tree]

Not the same language, but it should be in the same place

Try this

[distant bone]

okay thank you!!

[buoyant dirge]

Can someone tell: does Lethal Cadence work with ailments?

Or just raw hit damage?

[desert tree]

Do you mind sharing the node ?

[buoyant dirge]

I have full poison build, so...

[desert tree]

It does not specify what type of damage so its for everything

Hit, melee, bow, throwing , ailment

Spell but you dont have any as a rogue

[buoyant dirge]

Thx

[cedar locust]

Let me know how you get on!

[cedar locust]

I'm sure the backend/networking team know more than me - though it can be multiple things.

I remember when it was Orange ISP in Poland, Orange had seen a lot of bots using the same server addresses and just blanket banned them, and a few innocent parties got caught in that web. It was eventually resolved by the ISP though iirc. A similar thing happened to Blizzard too.

There are some things players can do - VPN for one, changing DNS settings is another or forcing IPv4 has fixed it for others.

[cedar locust]

Hi there, did verifying your files help?

[warm yew]

Network Engineer (though not for LE) here - this is almost always the answer. Last Epoch is using a tiny bit of the public IP space, and are getting caught in "ranges" that are around them - Blizzard used to have these problems (back in the Starcraft 1 and Warcraft 2 days) and solved it by buying a congruous IP block so that they no longer got caught "next to" a bad actor.

[warm yew]

General confusion here: does the Forge Guard skill Shield Throw require you to have a shield equipped?

[lunar bison]

it seemed to work fine without one for me back when I was messing with forge guard - now that I think about I dont know if any skills/spells require specific weapons?

[warm yew]

There are a bunch that do - Void Cleave requires a 2h Sword or Axe, Dancing Strikes and Shadow Cascade require dual-wielding, Bow Skills. . .

[lunar bison]

just tested real quick on my forge guard been while, got a 2h weapon equip and was able to do a shield throw

[warm yew]

But I appreciate the quick response!

[carmine coyote]

You can use shield throw with anything, it does not require a shield

[faint cape]

I think it does have some nodes that require a shield to work, though

[desert tree]

No

[desert tree]

More dmg per block chance, and crit m multi per block effect

[cedar locust]

Bash requires a Shield to be equipped, so the Rebounding node there probably needs a shield to be equipped

[faint cape]

Ah yeah you're right, I confused it with shield bash. Which requires a shield by default, has a way to use it without a shield, but still has a node that always requires a shield. Lol

[cedar locust]

While I might not know all the details off the top of my head, I am finally getting the hang of the patterns so can figure out where to look faster

[eternal coyote]

so for crafting purposes... what would be the better approach? getting an item through the lootfilter with 2 affixes you want and just try to remove unwanted affixes replacing with the ones you want OR trying to gamble the unwanted affixes with rune of chaos

[toxic anvil]

Put the affixes you DO want on first to see if you run out of fp before you can worry about the ones you don’t want

Then chaos yeah

[eternal coyote]

i meant like uhm

in lootfilter you cant configure empty affix so pretty often the case of item with 2 affixes you want and 1 or 2 you dont want happends so using a chaos is better than trying to remove the affix and replacing?

[toxic anvil]

Yeah you could accidentally remove the one you want

Doing it that way (removal) you can easily end up with an overall understated item with no fp

[eternal coyote]

hmmm

yeah thats also what i figured out :/

[toxic anvil]

So I set up my filter with the 4 affixes i want on an item, and then said okay gimme min 2

Then yeah same process

Upgrade the ones I want or add stuff

Then try and chaos

Assuming I have enough shards to put the ones I want

[eternal coyote]

so would be a better approach to configure lootfilter to 3 affixes you want and instead reroll the unwanted affix with chaos althrough i think this would be pretty harsh getting 3 affixes you want on a item to drop

[toxic anvil]

Also make sure u have a rule to find affixes to shatter

Yeah that may be hard

2 seems aight in terms of fp vs drop chance

Really loose filter = high fp cost, strict filter = rarer drops

[eternal coyote]

for this what kind of tier would make sense then? regarding the fact that you intent to chaos the affix

so the tier should be low right

[toxic anvil]

So I do total affix tier for the affixes on it

So it’ll count the total afffix tier of the affixes you actually want on the item

[eternal coyote]

wait what

i thought that option is for the overall affixes on the whole item and not just the ones you selected

[toxic anvil]

Don’t believe so

There’s that and individual

As in every one must be that

[eternal coyote]

so if i select 2 affixes and say i want a total of tier 10 the both affix would be at least tier 4 both while the other 2 would be tier 1?

[toxic anvil]

So the total tier 10 means a total of 10 tiers across the affixes you WANT on an item

[eternal coyote]

so both affixes would be tier 5 for example regardless of what tier the others are

[toxic anvil]

Yeah or maybe 6 and 4 or maybe 7 and 3 minimum

[eternal coyote]

hmmm

[toxic anvil]

(Assuming you chose greater than or equal to)

If you did exactly equal then yeah

[eternal coyote]

smh this would be way easier if you could select the tier you want for each affix individually

[toxic anvil]

I mean you can sorta lol

We assuming you want different numbers?

Also that’s mostly pointless

Just lowers drop chance

You usual filter for an average case and upgrade from there

So you don’t just have a really bad drop chance if you’re looking for exact numbers

Crafting is really easy in this game 😂

So adding or upgrading tiers is trivial

[eternal coyote]

i mean thats what i have now the problem is everytime i get something to drop it has 4 stats and most of the time i dont want them so i rather need to remove or chaos them on which i run out of FP before i can finish anything

[toxic anvil]

Just have to drop items with a reasonable chance of not running out of fp before your ideal upgrade

Oh you have individual affix tiers selected?

You want total tiers

So you get some wiggle room

[eternal coyote]

yeah because before i always got low tiers everytime so i raised the tierlevel

[toxic anvil]

Yeah that’s where total tiers saves you work

You always drop an item you can reasonably max with the affixes you want

Provided you chose a reasonable total number

[eternal coyote]

so it should rather be this?

[toxic anvil]

Up to you, but I chose to put min affix number to 1

And then scale the total affix level

So that way you don’t accidentally miss out on a t7

A single t7 mind you haha

[eternal coyote]

i mean i just want to be able to craft it through the end and for this i noticed that i need at least 2 affixes on pretty high tier already if i intent to replace the unwanted ones with wanted ones before i run out of FP

[toxic anvil]

So I have like 1 min affix with total tier 13 (or close to it)

It does the same thing haha, just makes sure you don’t miss edge cases

A single control on something like that is usually safer

Just my suggestion, entirely up to u haha

So with 13 total, best case you’d need 7ish crafts to get the item you want (not accounting for chaos or anything)

[eternal coyote]

thing is even with 1 single stat T7 if the other 3 affixes are crap i wont be able to refine it before i run out of FP anyways so xD

[toxic anvil]

True, it’s a good shatter tho 🤣

Or removal to get the shards

[eternal coyote]

for this i have additional role with wanted affixes tho 🙂

[toxic anvil]

That works, just suggesting a standardization format haha

But I think you get the premise 🙂

10 is def low tho

I’d up that

[eternal coyote]

i had it set to 15 once before i did the single tier one to see how it is but i rarely got anything

[toxic anvil]

Yeah 15 is strict

I usually go 13 I think?

I’d have to check later lol

7+ crafts is generous 🤣

Or even 12

You can mess with that

lol

[eternal coyote]

will try out 13 then and see how it goes

[toxic anvil]

aight!

[toxic anvil]

will echoes created by erasing strike inherit the crit chance of erasing strike?

[wide sentinel]

the auto crit from void cleave wont work

which doesnt make sense at all, as well as more dmg buff from AE isnt inherited

maybe devs will fix it one day or rework skill completely, these 2 things not working is stupid

[toxic anvil]

yeah that should totally work lol

[wide sentinel]

i asked mike about it some time ago and he said that since it creates a void guy its coded as normal echo, which inherits everything but those 2 bonuses were coded specifically not to be inherited

which is really worrysome cause why would they do it

[toxic anvil]

🤣

maybe too gud

[wide sentinel]

definetly not good

eq does 20x more dmg with half of mana cost

just to compare

and by 20x i mean actually 20times more dmg

on low life version but still

[toxic anvil]

EQ?

[wide sentinel]

earthquake

[toxic anvil]

ah ok

[wide sentinel]

it can 3shot t4 julra

[toxic anvil]

yike

LMAOO

[wide sentinel]

well technically 6x since each use bonks 2ce

but still ES is nowhere near that damage output

[toxic anvil]

ce?

[wide sentinel]

twice

2 hits for 1 use

[toxic anvil]

aight

[wide sentinel]

and that isnt broken imo cause to do that you need to go LL you need to stack swipe u need to stack berserk, put frenzy totem, so you support EQ with 3 skills

but the thing is that you do support ES with 4 skills too and it does nowhere near that amount of dmg

[toxic anvil]

LOL true

[wide sentinel]

i wish they rework ailments for nuke skills so we can have similar things to poe ignite/bleed builds

[toxic anvil]

oh?

[vernal brook]

I have a question about echo rewards. Is it true that the last ruin monolith has increased chances to drop relics? Or is it just unique echo rewards have a higher chance to be relics?

Or maybe just the blessing you get from the boss

[icy drift]

Each monolith has specific item type unique/set rewards. So last ruin like you said has relics, the area itself doesn't have increased relic drop rates but can spawn those echo rewards.

Other monolith's cannot have the "unique/set relic" echo reward.

[marsh maple]

If they nerf eq I'll riot because it's by far one of the better designed slam skills we have access too

[vernal brook]

ah ok. So its the "unique/set body armour, gloves etc. I saw in other monoliths

[icy drift]

exactly

that's the only difference

no global droprate modifiers or anything

[vernal brook]

never saw them consistently in monoliths, so the difference never dawned on me. Maybe I will have more luck and get that damn box of hydrae

[icy drift]

gl ^^

make sure to also use any runes of ascendency on relics

[toxic anvil]

wait why?

just if searching for relics?

[icy drift]

he's looking for a box of hydrae

[toxic anvil]

ahh ok

[vernal brook]

I used over 10 rune already, no luck. And common means I get it once with terrible stats

[quick crown]

question about this passive, does its damage reduction only count toward damage i take when my health is already at 35% or lower, or does it work like endurance and affect any damage that takes me from above 35% health to below as well?

[icy drift]

does not work like endurance

[quick crown]

so i need to already be on low health for it to do anything at all?

[icy drift]

yes

[toxic anvil]

wait this works on low health?

builds

ward

[icy drift]

yes

[toxic anvil]

bruh

[icy drift]

thats why trheyre strong

[toxic anvil]

that's just too easy to enable lmao

[quick crown]

its a primalist passive

[toxic anvil]

slap on a few items and boom 🤣

[icy drift]

bladedancer has one too

[toxic anvil]

ah yea

[mint reef]

hello, is the game down ?

[quick crown]

i tried googling too and apparently the devs have different info?
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/berserker-passive-question/54346

[icy drift]

they said the same as me

[quick crown]

im still inside the game but i hear people have trouble entering new zones

[toxic anvil]

lol

[icy drift]

it does not

im 99% sure

you can ask in ask the devs now if you want an updated answer

but i'm almost certain what trasochi says here is correct

[mint reef]

just bought the game and its on the first screen with the spinning portal, is it trying to get me in or should i try relaunching untill im in ?

[winged drift]

I just got deconnected, there might be a slight lag in EU West but i'm not sure

i'm in right now tho

[pastel pebble]

😭😭😭😭

Playing a fucking Shaman broke me

[icy drift]

have you tried playing tempest strike?

now that's one hell of a time

[pastel pebble]

I have.

[toxic anvil]

Someone mentioned nuke builds working the same way as Poe dot, what does that mean?

[pastel pebble]

Cyborg I literally made s Shaman to play more with Tempest lmfao

[toxic anvil]

Lmao wtf

U lunatic 🤣

[icy drift]

yeah i did too

i went to 200 c with tempest strike

and while it can do enough damage to clear

it's not very fun lol

[pastel pebble]

I was messing with Tempest as a support skill

Played around with different variations of Earthquake a little and the damage is so obscene even without heavy gear investmsnr

[icy drift]

i was playing with the lightning stones

[toxic anvil]

whys it so high?

[icy drift]

it just has loads of more multipliers and you can make your totems cast several at once

[toxic anvil]

ah yikes 🤣

[icy drift]

plus dot damage affixes are pretty good

if you go dot eq

[toxic anvil]

eq?

oh quake lol

[icy drift]

earthquake

[toxic anvil]

why is the elem dot affix so high of a range 🤣

higher than fire dot

[icy drift]

they spawn in different spots

fire damage over time is helmet and body armour only

ele damage over time can be on wands, staffs, belts and accessories

[toxic anvil]

ahh nvm LOL

[grand rock]

Hellooooo. 🙂

[toxic anvil]

sup

[grand rock]

Have a question about mages. How many of their tooltips are broken? I use Flame Reave with the lightning passive and when ever I get lightning modifiers, I do not see any changes in the DPS... Am I overlooking something?

[icy drift]

none are really broken

could you screenshot said node?

it's the one that converts 50% of base damage to lightning correct?

this one?

[grand rock]

yes. That one.

[icy drift]

so you're saying that when you equip lightning damage the tooltip dps doesn't change?

or are you just not feeling it

[pearl girder]

Are the servers down? I'm trying to log in now but it's taken over a minute so far

[grand rock]

Skilling that one makes the "Lightning" tag appear in the sclaing tags, hence I thought it should also scale with lightnign now?

[toxic anvil]

half of it does

[icy drift]

yeah it half does

the thing with splitting the damage is that each is half as effective now though, so if you specifically get lightning damage it's going to be half as effective as if the skill was 100% lightning

[grand rock]

Hmmm.... Okay, I'll pay more attention. 👍
When I skill in the passive tree I see no changes in the tooltip, that's when i thought this may be bugged.

[icy drift]

which might be why you're not really feeling the increase

do you have any lightning or passive specific damage increases?

if not then there's no reason for tooltip to change

[grand rock]

That's what I skilled like 3 points in and didn't see changes.
But if this is only .5 value it makes sense that I wouldn't see any changes really.

[toxic anvil]

waaait

[icy drift]

that's giving both fire and lightning damage equally

[toxic anvil]

so that gives 4?

[wide sentinel]

Also dps tooltips are highly inaccurate on majority of skills

[icy drift]

not really

[grand rock]

3 should be

[icy drift]

it'll effectively give 2

since it's 2 x 0.5 + 2 x 0.5

[toxic anvil]

im sorry what

[grand rock]

OHHHH I see!

That's... hm. Not sure anymore if I wanna run the node o_o

[toxic anvil]

wont it give 2 fire and 2 light?

[icy drift]

it will

but each is 50% effective

so effectively it gives 2 total

[grand rock]

Yes. But with the note it's only 50% effective. 😄

[toxic anvil]

i mean if all ur modifiers elemental dmg not really right?

[wide sentinel]

Why 50% effextive?

[toxic anvil]

its only 50 if u make it 50 haha

[wide sentinel]

That node converts adaptive and base damage it has nothing to do with specific damage

Sorry typo

[toxic anvil]

yeah

so u just get 4 and as long as u scale fire and lightning through single modifiers ur good

u actually got 4

[grand rock]

x_x

[icy drift]

yeah nvm zack is correct

the node is still bad though

[toxic anvil]

HAHAH I WIIIN 🤣

yeah bad lol

i only it added a tag LOL

just a tag

[grand rock]

I mean. I removed the points in the node when I didn't see changes in my tooltip so... xD

[wide sentinel]

Trusting tooltip is the first mistake

[icy drift]

^

[wide sentinel]

[icy drift]

tbf a tooltip increase does generally mean a dps increase

it's just not accurate

[grand rock]

but if I can't trust the tooltip... who'm to trust then? o_o

[wide sentinel]

On half of the skills nobody knows what tooltip even represents or if it calculates correctly

[icy drift]

trust yourself

[grand rock]

On doing math!? o_o

[icy drift]

yes ^^

[grand rock]

You should know me better by now!

xD

[wide sentinel]

No lol just look at nodes and see if they give u damage, then choose whatever gives u the most

[grand rock]

Fair.

[pastel pebble]

I don't do math

I vibe

[toxic anvil]

im literally making a simple dps calc that's better than an excel just so i can be lazy 🤣

i only wanna enter dis once LMAOO

[grand rock]

^^

[zealous tusk]

Is there a way to dodge julras doom? The first big circle thing 🤦

[pastel pebble]

You use the time move unique to the dungeon

[zealous tusk]

You mean in boss fight i can switch time to dodge those?

[desert tree]

Yep

[zealous tusk]

I see thank you

[pastel pebble]

I rebinded mine on the Steamdeck

Put it on a back button which has made it easier to use

[lusty nacelle]

anyone ever have your skills stop working and you can only melee attack for like lvl 1 dmg in an echo? lol

[desert tree]

I have seen report of that

Not sure what the workaround is

[icy drift]

if you rezone it usually gets fixed

[lusty nacelle]

i couldnt teleport or anything just had to exit

was really weird

[faint cape]

Yeah, on super rare occasions I've had echoes bug out where nothing really works. Not sure what causes it, but I think maybe an unstable connection.

Exiting and re-entering has always fixed it for me

[zealous tusk]

Yes me too. 😅

[edgy sphinx]

All righty guys I'm trying to make a build based on fireball. Which mastery do I go with, Sorc or RM? Which one is a vibe?

[fading girder]

what do i have in equipment that is causing this? or is it a bugg? happends randomly

[acoustic thicket]

What version of proton do you guys run this game on for steam deck?

I have weird graphical bugs in character selection and the map

Also freezes when I teleport

Froze the whole deck

[fierce ibex]

8.0-4 is the one i use on desktop, i dont have a steamdeck, so it may differ on that device

[drowsy hornet]

what's better for bumping up bleed damage, increased physical damage or increased damage over time

[surreal verge]

Highest number.

They are equal otherwise

[desert pebble]

are those 3 monoliths were the ones people mentioningi should do them asap?

[pastel pebble]

Ye the three 90s

[naive nimbus]

Hey, do we know if the game is going to be released with the gender lock?

[pastel pebble]

Yes

They've talked about doing character customization far down the line

[naive nimbus]

damn. Like, I don't mind it at all, but some friends won't even play the female ones for some reason, it's weird that it bothers them.

Then they go "Ugh, I've tried all the builds already and it's getting repetitive"
and I'm like "...There are two classes and 4 masteries you haven't even looked at yet >_>"

[surreal verge]

Skill issue

Anyway

(Ask them to pay them for it or something, their resources are tied up right now)

[naive nimbus]

even playing those three classes exclusively they still admit that this game is far better than any fully released ARPG out there

[desert pebble]

yeah

I cannot blame them though, characters of this game kinda lack of soul so people wants to add them their touch

In poe all 7 characters are fleshed out complete characters

no need for customization

[naive nimbus]

I'm more put off by old man mage than I am of the female characters lol

it's very Diablo 2, which is fine by me, I had a lot of fun with d2
