[radiant mulch]

hello, I am currently lvl 87 doing the 90 lvl monoliths of fate but the xp is going extremely slow. Is there a better way of getting xp?

[zealous tusk]

When creating a legendary item, does the base item important? Or just the affix on it?

Use experimental, im playing on SD too. Got no issues at all.

[lunar holly]

the base of the item doesn't affect the outcome at all, the items you put just have to be the same item type, for example you can create a legendary 1h sword with any exalted 1h sword

[surreal verge]

Not really no.

[radiant mulch]

ah unlucky. Thank you

[zealous tusk]

I see thanks.

[edgy sphinx]

When is a good time to try doing the monolith stuff?

[crisp abyss]

I keep getting this message when I arrive at the first town in Online mode in SEA server. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

[surreal verge]

As soon as you can

[fiery idol]

How does item drops work in multiplayer? do we get our own loot or same loot drop for both? can we swap items between each other?

[native lichen]

can the experimental affixes be tier7?

[pearl girder]

Separate drops, with the exception of health potions. No trading as of yet, as far as I can tell.

[candid elm]

You each get your own loot. There's a gift item option you can use to give items to a party member that dropped while you were grouped.

There currently is not trading for items that dropped while you weren't grouped. That's coming in the future.

[pearl girder]

Hmm, I've tried that and it hasn't worked. I'll try it again though.

[candid elm]

Yes

[candid elm]

The gifting thing currently has to be items that dropped while you were together. So it's definitely limited. There was going to be a "resonance" thing that let you gift items to people you had been grouped with, but I'm not sure where that's at currently.

[versed pecan]

i dont know what i am doing wrong but my Rune of Research is not working or lettingme craft i have 4 slots 3 with t1-t4 and i have FP but says no affix available am i missing something

[candid elm]

Do you have an open Prefix slot? I believe the Experimental Affixes are all Prefixes. I haven't messed with the Rune of Research much, though, so I'm not sure getting these mixed up. Rune of Research seals an existing Experimental Affix. All of the Experimental Affixes are currently just Prefixes. And they're just on Gloves, Boots, and Belts.

[versed pecan]

me either but i dont have a open slot ill check to see if with a open slot it will work

[lunar holly]

do you have an experimental affix on the item ?

[versed pecan]

t6-t7 u mean

[candid elm]

Wait, I'm getting them mixed up. Rune of Research seals an Experimental Affix

[lunar holly]

no, experimental

the one from exiled mages

[versed pecan]

no

[candid elm]

Glyph of Insight is the one that changes a Prefix into an Experimental Prefix. Again all the Experimental Affixes are Prefixes

[lunar holly]

^ yeah, the rune seals the experimental affix if you have one

[candid elm]

And I believe you can only have them on Gloves, Boots, and Belts

[candid elm]

The Rune of Research seals an Experimental.
The Glyph of Insight changes a Prefix into an Experimental.

[versed pecan]

ok how do i move a affix to a 5th slot ?

[lunar holly]

here's an example of an item with experimental affix (the blue one), this is different from t6-t7, those drop from those mages that are in prisons in the maps sometimes
if you don't have such an affix you can't use the rune

[dreamy raft]

Is there any way to turn a normal item into a purple item with max level 6 affix?

I need to attach another fragment

[sinful laurel]

No. Exalted affixes can only be dropped

[candid elm]

Those boots don't have an Experimental, so the Rune of Research will do nothing.

If you want to try Glyph of Insight on the T4 Intelligence Prefix, it will change it into an Experimental. I don't believe you can use it on the T6 Prefix.

[surreal verge]

Affixes higher than T5 are only dropped, and cannot be crafted. (THat means no making a purple item)

[versed pecan]

ok i see what u mean

[dreamy raft]

Is there any formula to find the item with the affix you need? or random items

[versed pecan]

so can a t6=t7 be moved to the bottom left to create a 5th affix

[dreamy raft]

I need to attach the appropriate affix to my unique weapon

[lunar holly]

and to seal normal affixes you use Glyph of Despair, you can only use it on t1-t4, because you can't craft the others, so you can't seal normal t6-7 affixes

[versed pecan]

okok i got it now tytyty vm

[candid elm]

You can use Despair on T1-T4 to seal. You can use Removal on T5+, but it's random on what is removed.

[versed pecan]

tyty verymuvh everyone for your time and help

[candid elm]

If you wanted to use Glyph of Insight, there's a tool over here to help https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/insight

[lunar holly]

lol so Tunk implemented a tool for this madness 😆

[candid elm]

There's calculations for Despair somewhere as well, but I'm not immediately finding it

[novel charm]

Is there a server issue going on atm?
The game disconnected, and when reconnecting it took a while to reach the server.
It eventually loads but it shows a new character selection screen for online mode, instead of my Rogue 😢

[candid elm]

For crafting on uniques, you need to find one with Legendary Potential (LP). Then you can run Temporal Sanctum dungeon and smash an Exalted item with the same general base type, such as boots -> boots or 2H axe -> 2H axe, into the LP Unique at the end of the dungeon. That will destroy the Exalted item and randomly select up to the LP # of affixes from the Exalted item to add onto the Unique. 1 LP is one of the four affixes randomly selected to be added. Up to 4 LP adding all 4 affixes. The Exalted item used must have 4 affixes. Sealed affix is not used or counted.

[dreamy raft]

For offline players, is there any way to edit the affix (code) from the save?
I just want to try checking the damage to apply to the online version

[candid elm]

What about using the LE tools build planner https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/
You can import your character into that and mess around with it

[dreamy raft]

Thank you, that's why I need to find exalted items to attach to (LP) on unique weapons.

[versed pecan]

is there a random use of shards when craftibg a item or does it use just one shard ?

[surreal verge]

Just one.

[versed pecan]

ty

[cedar locust]

Is this still happening, if so which server? I logged on to EU West a few minutes ago with no issues

[versed pecan]

is there any way to open a slot without using rune of discovery? like this

[cedar locust]

Do you mean open the 4th affix slot?

[versed pecan]

yes

[cedar locust]

As far as I know, you'll need to put something in the empty slot first!

I can check in my game for you!

[novel charm]

Yup, took like 5 mins to connect to Australia with 24ms, and dropped me into character creation.

[versed pecan]

but i will still need to use rune of discovery to open that 4th slot

[novel charm]

And the Rogue is "poof!"

[warm yew]

No, adding the third affix will open the 4th slot automatically

[novel charm]

Extra context, I was playing while Cloudflare WARP client was connected, to do something else, I disabled it while the game was running and obviously due to that I lost connection.

[versed pecan]

kool ty

[cedar locust]

Hmm, can you show me the tooltip for that item? I just put an item with 2 affixes on in the Forge and I can see all for slots

Let me see what happens if I have an item with only Prefixes or Suffixes

[cedar locust]

Oh, why does Cloud Warp ring a bell?

Let me do some searching!

[warm yew]

It's exactly that, Averielle - when adding affixes, you only get one button for each side - you can still add all 4 manually, if needed.

[toxic anvil]

Yeah only shows next insertable affix slot

For prefix and suffix

[cedar locust]

Yep, just saw it in my game! There you go @versed pecan - no Rune of Discovery needed!

[warm yew]

E.g. if you put an item with 0 affixes in the forge, you'll see the 'top slot' on each side has a button, but the 'bottom slot' will open up as you add affixes.

[cedar locust]

It's Cloudflare Warp DCing that did it, I think. We've had other users use Cloudflare Warp to help when packetloss was impacting gameplay so given that it adds a 'waypoint' on the data route so to speak - suddenly losing that waypoint is gonna cause an issue!

[novel charm]

Yikes, good to know for the future!
Is my poor Rogue surfing the web forever lost now? hahaha

[versed pecan]

@cedar locust @warm yew ty

[cedar locust]

Try verifying your steam files, and fully closing and reopening Steam

[novel charm]

Infinite Monolith-ing

[cedar locust]

There are worse things to do 😅 let me know how you get on with the steam restart!

[novel charm]

Opening LE now

There we go, Cloud was being stubborn, tried both ways and Cloud kept failing, without it it connected instantly and I see the Rogue.

Thanks for the support! ❤️

Now I can keep abusing Flurry+Multishot 🤩

[cedar locust]

So close! I suppose a MM Rogue is still acceptable 😆 - I'm a BD Rogue 😅

Glad we could figure it out! I'm not sure if you can add an exception so Cloudflare ignores LE, you'll know if it's possible. Safe journeys through Ettera Traveler!

[novel charm]

For some reason the Warp client does not allow me to select local executables to ignore, ExpressVPN does though.
In any case, I'll remember to disable Warp when playing.

[sinful laurel]

Hey flurry multishot works great on BD

[novel charm]

FMM reminds me of when the MM set was first introduced in D3, it was so much fun.

[cedar locust]

It might, but you can pry my lightning shurikens from my cold dead hands! Though that's cause my Cold Res is awful xD

[cedar locust]

Fun is the right way to play!

[sinful laurel]

You can have those too 😉

[night night]

Will I fix my mana if I log out and in again? Or will I somehow bug out the game.
Want to try a different build, but it feels like I will have to wait ages for mana to be positive again.

[sinful laurel]

Um

Wth happened lol

Logging out should reset it though I imagine

[night night]

Okay, good. I feared I would bug the game somehow with that amount of negativ mana

[sinful laurel]

That's insane though. How did you do that?

[night night]

To what happened:
I tried a build by gringo gaming, called "zombie nuker"

[sinful laurel]

Ohh you're doing the bugged zombie build

[night night]

Essentially I auto-cast sacrifice on volatile zombies that die

Oh, it is bugged? Did not know that 😅

[sinful laurel]

Yeah don't rely on that staying around lol

[night night]

I just thought it was funny.

[sinful laurel]

It is comical for sure

But broken to all hell

[night night]

Oh yeah. It definitely is. I don't have close to good gear and I still nuke everything.

[cedar locust]

It is for sure fun, though eats Mana and will be getting patched - iirc, that was confirmed in some recent patch notes!

[night night]

Oh yeah. Mana was instantly gone, too bad it will get patched, but I understand why and I'd say it is the right call.

[novel charm]

What if negative mana became a feature, and generates some kind of Void Stack and ailments or so?
Lore-wise, using so much mana while fighting, you start to tear spacetime locally and get attacked by Void mobs, and with the correct training, you are adept in harnessing void power.

[cedar locust]

#1123698164503949392

[versed pecan]

i have been running a -mana minion build for a month now and it feels ok

[novel charm]

Yikes (I posted on suggestions to move it away from here)

Got a question, any build/strategy to either improve Shift's cooldown? or to considerably increase movement speed?
Besides farming better gear*

[surreal verge]

The former can with CDR or a dagger unique called Smoke Weaver.

Otherwise.

Nope

(Assuming you took the rogue passives related to movespeed already)

[novel charm]

Ahhh, thanks!!

[surreal verge]

Don't expect it to go lower than 2.5 seconds tho

(Smoke weaver also lowers Shift's distance as a cost)

[novel charm]

Saw the Rebound node, allocated already, but triggers every 10 secs when dealing 50% HP

[surreal verge]

In case you didn't knew.

[novel charm]

Yup!
Need a few levels to get pursuit now

[fading imp]

Hi guys have some questions.

1. When do you typically start hunting for gear? Level 70? Or once you reach monoliths?
2. Around what level should I reach empowered monos?

[buoyant sinew]

1. When you reach empowered monos, trying to target farm before then is pretty pointless unless there's a boss drop you desperately need. 2. 75 is pretty normal, plus or minus a few depending on how much you're rushing

[cinder musk]

Hey! Thinking about picking up LE again. Is the slow loading screens from zone to zone fixed?

[surreal verge]

Your mileage may vary.
It's overall improved, but still can take a while depending on a lot of factors.

[cinder musk]

Okey. Last time i tryed like a month ago it was about 30-35 sec from area to area. Is it still about the same?

[crude jewel]

what negativ effect has stability? for example if i am on the 1600 cap and still dont run the boss?

or do i understand stability wrong?

[surreal verge]

You lose out on overflow stability.
You spend stability to fight the boss

[novel charm]

So, dark Lagon killed me and I'm regenerating health at the same time 🙃

[crude jewel]

"You lose out on overflow stability." what does that mean?

[surreal verge]

For me it improved by like 5 seconds

[surreal verge]

Your can't hold more stability than the bar shows. If you have eg: 1.6k and fighting the boss takes 800, you always go back to 800 after fighting the boss

[cinder musk]

okey so still quite some time then. Know i got quite frustrated waiting between the zones last time around. Might wait then

[surreal verge]

Once again, your mileage may vary, some have HUGE improvements

[crude jewel]

yea that i have understand but, theres no negativ or positiv effect? like enemys harder or less rare loot or something? ... i am confused because, if i wanna farm a specific node, i would not care about the boss, nor the stability so thats why i ask for a eventually negativ effect

[surreal verge]

No.

Stability is only for boss punching

[crude jewel]

ok so its just a system to reach the boss... k i see thanks!

oh and corruption increase item rarity and other stuff, but does it increase also higher chance of unique nodes/and higher chane of exclusive echo rewards?

or only the normal drop chance are higher?

nvm found the answer lol

[thorn lynx]

is it just me or does it take a while for you to go to one area to another ? i accidentally clicked on the entrance to the keeper's camp when i was in fortress gardens and it took me like a solid 30 seconds to change map area

[surreal verge]

Yup

[thorn lynx]

oh oki i thought maybe it was just for me

[fading imp]

Ohhh i see tysm. Been shattering so many random drops that i think i might need that ive ran out of gold and runes but im just on my first mono lol

[onyx kernel]

alo, is there a way to share minion Armor with self ?

[desert tree]

Only thing that comes to my mind

[onyx kernel]

ic ic ❤️

[wide sentinel]

Its a bug tho that will get fixed

[versed pecan]

i dont mind it

[mint reef]

is barrage for detonating arrow bugged ? the cone goes towards me most of the times

[wide sentinel]

it is

[mint reef]

well that sucks. thanks for the confirmation tho

[sinful laurel]

Not barrage is not bugged though 🙂

[mint reef]

not feeling the default tho

[sinful laurel]

Fair

[zealous tusk]

Can anyone suggest a good build for boss and mapping? Im kinda bored playing my thorn totem 🤦

[fierce ibex]

storm totem

[pastel pebble]

Erasing Strike VK is a pleasant mapping experience

[zealous tusk]

Is echo warpath vk is good? Im thinking of that one

[sinful laurel]

Yeah it is decent

[zealous tusk]

I see thanks

[trail willow]

Is there a button on the controller to push to alternate time and such in the temporal dungeon? We can't bind anything and it's very annoying to use the keyboard just for this function. There is a fight also in another dungeon we can't alternate type of armor (fire or other) because of the same matter.

[warm yew]

Left Arrow on your D-Pad is bound to that function.

[oblique turtle]

is it known that black whole skill nods arent working at all, cant find any report here?

[surreal verge]

What

[oblique turtle]

black whole skillnods, twinstar resummone metor cast, basicly anything that makes more i9snt working at all

[surreal verge]

... It costs mana you know, do you have the mana?

[oblique turtle]

i tryed it with full mana several times it doesnt work, not even one of them

[surreal verge]

I guess it's #1123698102470189118 time

[reef elm]

Its good affix and ring if i have 40-45% for crit hit ?

[oblique turtle]

idk, depends on build, how many hits how fast atack speed i guess?

[reef elm]

castspeed 180% 5 hit for 1 cast

[reef elm]

without a ring

whis ring

Verdict: this affix is full of shit

I will change it to the usual exalted

[desert tree]

Invoker Static Touch is nice for ward generation

[reef elm]

Yes - 100% ! 18 ward VS 75 ward

wtf

but im gaming on frost

[desert tree]

Less chance though

[reef elm]

but gain more AHHAHA

i have only 10 stacks static

and im not static mage

and its only 1 ring

double ring

[icy drift]

If you have 100% Crit chance third eye is around as good as invokers.

It'll be 5.4 ward per hit vs 7.5 ward per hit with both being max rolled. Plus the invokers requires you to hit a shocked enemy. So you first have to shock them which can take a couple hits, while third eye just needs you to crit, which you can always do.

And invokers is a set item that you can't change, while third eye can have lp. Invokers only useful stat is the spell lightning damage, shock and ward Gained on hit

The lightning damage is useless if you're not dealing lightning damage, the shock chance is kinda trivial but nice, which basically makes it a 1.5 stat ring.

The third eye can easily become a 4-5 stat ring (3-4 if you take -1 for the reduced Crit multi)

So I don't see your point.

[surreal verge]

It does lose you some crit multi so if that matters…

(It also doesnt matter how much stacks of shock the enemy has,as long as it has one)

[icy drift]

Yeah I pointed that out

Like for SS I would take third eye over invokers any day (I know I only talk about SS these days but I know a lot about it so it's easy for me :p) the Crit chance is really nice and the -30% multi is around a 6% DPS loss (you have around 500 Crit multi), not bad at all considering how much damage you can deal (millions vs single target bosses).

So the ward is nice, the Crit is nice, and you can slam 2-3 affixes on it.

It'd be wayyy better than an invokers which literally can't even fit into the build in the first place

[reef elm]

for me, multi-crit is not important, because I deal the main damage with periodic damage

[icy drift]

All the more reason then.

But, for third eye you need high crit chance

Which you yourself pointed out that you don't have

So you can't expect it to work well

[surreal verge]

Yeah 3rd basically needs your crit to already be high

Otherwise you’ll need to roll TWO chances

Your crit and the 30% for ward

[icy drift]

Yeah so it's a bit weird to go third eye without being a crit based build. The only builds it works well on are either ones that use sacrificial embrace that has "your critical strikes deal no additional damage" or have enough Crit multi to overcome it

That's the "logic" ^^

[desert tree]

I love Sacrificial Embrace, not sure what to do with it

I've tried Mana Strike + Black Hole, wasn't very good

Maybe with Abyssal Echoes Oo

[thorn lynx]

hey had a question for blood rip specialisation what skills should i put my points in ?

currently playing as a acolyte

[sinful laurel]

Rip blood, bone curse, transplant. Assuming your going lich so reaper form, and then likely death seal if you are going the classic route

[amber void]

there's amy hotkey to toggle the healthbar of enemies and minions or is a bug when those bars disapear (even when the option is toggled on in the settings)?

[sinful laurel]

Iirc it's a bug

Reloading the area should fix it, but it also reloads everything else. Catch 22

[crude jewel]

if i dont have eterras blessing in any of the 5 slots, do i still cast it? and if, do i cast it lvl 1 or the min lvl?

[icy drift]

should work fully specced

without being on bar

[crude jewel]

if not on bar i cant set the points, or what you mean with fully specced?

[desert pebble]

does mob counts starts to increase as I go on?

[warm yew]

Your skill specializations are separate from the active skills that you're using on your bar. If you specialize in Eterra's blessing, you'll use your fully specialized version when it's automatically cast.

[faint cape]

Yes, some. It never gets super dense, really.

[warm yew]

No - the dev's have said that they're trying to design a game with a little more space, and a little less zoom. More like old Diablo 2, and less like path of Exile

[surreal verge]

They aren't tied together.

[warm yew]

You generally get faster, and more able to get from pack to pack a lot easier.

[surreal verge]

You can put an unspecced skill on your skill bar, and specced skills don't have to be on the skill bar

[desert pebble]

I see thanks

[crude jewel]

wait what?

[desert pebble]

What about, what happens when i complete all 3 90 lvl

monos

[crude jewel]

how do i spec a skill if not on the bar?

[toxic anvil]

Guys you’re confusing poor cauli

lol

[surreal verge]

Just spec it?

Being on the bar is not a requirement to spec a skill.

[toxic anvil]

Basically you can slot in a skill that’s not one of the 5 that you have points into, on your bar

[faint cape]

The skill specs are in your skill menu

[crude jewel]

[faint cape]

Your skill bar is the thing on the bottom of the UI

[toxic anvil]

Stop saying SPEC guys 😂

[toxic anvil]

Yes you cast it, should be lvl 1

[crude jewel]

oh with spec you guys mean the text of a skill not the nodes in the skill?

[toxic anvil]

Spec means put points into

[faint cape]

The spec is where you put it so you can level it and allocate nodes

[toxic anvil]

As one of the 5

[crude jewel]

a skill has 20 points not 5

[faint cape]

The skill bar is where you put skills so you can use them by pressing a button

[toxic anvil]

One of the 5 skills u can put points into

[crude jewel]

ok i give up i dont understand atall what you guys saying, ty anyways

[toxic anvil]

U can only put pts into 5

[native sail]

Watching the discussion from the sideline as it slowly twists upon itself

[toxic anvil]

But yes Cauli, you will cast it and it will be lvl 1

[faint cape]

Your skill specs are where the five + icons are at the top

This is the skill bar

You don't need Eterra's blessing on either to cast it through frenzy totem, but you do need to have it in the specs to cast a leveled version

[toxic anvil]

^

[surreal verge]

Skill bar: the place you put skills to cast them.
Skill spec: The window where you put points into skills.

[pearl girder]

Please explain the Accolyte curse attribute. Is Bone Curse the only way to put a curse on a target?

[icy drift]

spirit plague is also a curse

mark for death also counts

[pearl girder]

I thought Mark for Death only works if the target is already cursed.

[toxic anvil]

Nope

[icy drift]

nah it's a curse

[pearl girder]

What power is that a node for?

[toxic anvil]

Spirit plague’s spread time is crap lmao

Not sure what applies it

I forget 😂

[pearl girder]

I'm trying to see if a Ward/Curse/Damnation build is viable for a Lich. I'm thinking not, sadly

[toxic anvil]

Huh yeah idk you’d have to ask someone who actually plays lich 🤣

[icy drift]

bone curse and i think harvest can apply it

[pearl girder]

Dread Shade applies Marked for Death

[quick shadow]

what build would be best pick to farm monolith as a newbie??

necro permament abomination is good idea ?

[icy drift]

any build that sounds cool

as long as it's not something like tempest strike

abomination prob works but idk how fast the clear will be

[quick shadow]

ok, thank you

im looking for something simple fast and tanky 😄

[warm yew]

You're looking for Void Knight then - Vitality as a main stat, all the armor you can break your teeth on, and a main skill that just needs cast when off cooldown - there's an Autobomber build guide out there.

[warm yew]

It absolutely is - Soul Feast hits like a truck - you're looking for the interaction between Spirit Plauge's nodes that say "when you hit an enemy" and the fact that Bone Curse counts as a hit from you - if you trigger the bone curse, then you're "hitting the enemy twice".

[quick shadow]

thank you 🙂 i will for sure try it out

[warm yew]

And if you decide to try something a bit more complicated, I think Void Cleave into Crit Erasing Strike is intensely fun, and can be built off basically the same template (though it does melee damage, not spell damage)

[quick shadow]

ok, so time to lvl void knight then 🙂

[chilly cosmos]

hi guys i just finished the story (i guess) now i am just running monoliths as a runemaster and i am kinda lost what to do now and how to transist into my planned build (Ignite Pop Glyph Of Dominion build) is what i wanna play

any tips how to proceed now?

[quick shadow]

i whish I could just change mastery

[icy drift]

get to empowered monos asap (clear the three level 90 ones at the top) and then start grinding for your endgame uniques

[acoustic thicket]

@weary hinge

[weary hinge]

Ty, I may confused, timeline or monilith?

[acoustic thicket]

U r in the monolith, each island is a timeline

Each island has nodes to complete

For stability to do the echo quests and kill the boss for a blessing

Rare nodes are the best for unique and set drops

I also like glyph nodes and idol nodes

[faint cape]

If you already have some leveled masteries and would rather respec those, I'm sure we can come up with something for one of those if you let us know what you have

[void stream]

Is there any bonus to killing mobs higher level than you?

[faint cape]

No. Not aside from higher level mobs just having better loot and xp (you don't get any extra xp bonus past +10 levels above you).

[void stream]

so there is an xp bonus? i'm 70 and about to unlock 80 timelines so I was just wondering if I get any bonus for it

thanks 😄

[faint cape]

Yeah, as long as you are fighting enemies 10+ levels over you, you are getting maximum xp per kill

[fickle kraken]

I'm a bit confused about whether there's a difference in "Increased Lightning Damage" and "Melee Lightning Damage" when it comes to Flame Reave when it has "Lightning, Fire, Melee" tags. Increased lightning damage has such a higher % when it comes to being at T5

[wide sentinel]

increased is a multiplier, its %, melee lightning damage isnt a multiplier

[fickle kraken]

ahhhh, Is the formula for flat damage anywhere in the character screen? I have no idea how it affects the displayed DPS numbers on my skills

[wide sentinel]

forget abt dps tooltip its not always accurate, the only accurate thing about it is showing if you get more or less damage when you compare 2 items

formula for flat damage is weapon base adaptive damage+ whatever you get from passives/skills

[fickle kraken]

ok thank you!

[desert tree]

Does use Javelin Holy Trail count as casting a spell?

[icy drift]

Depends, if you need it to be direct cast then the skill you're using on your bar needs to have the spell tag

Sometimes they can have false tags though, as is the case with Tempest strike

[faint cape]

No, you use javelin and javelin casts the spell

So like, this thing doesn't work for holy trail nor consecrated ground:

[desert tree]

Sad 😔

I just realised I need an elemental spell for Sacrificial Embrace

[faint cape]

RIP

Some things are janky apparently and actually look for "used a skill with a spell tag" instead of "cast a spell"... I suspect those gloves are not the janky thing, though

[desert tree]

Void EQ?

[faint cape]

Honestly, that would absolutely be the best primalist skill to apply sacrificial embrace with

is it viable? no clue 😂

[desert tree]

Flat and pen goes to the aftershock right?

From the gloves I mean

[faint cape]

Yeah, it should - I think the play would be to stack up a ton of DOT aftershocks on one enemy using the totem thing

[desert tree]

I was thinking that too

But you need some +lvl

[faint cape]

I'm not sure about the best way to build up stacks for the gloves, though

[desert tree]

I was thinking Swipe

Mana regen + More Dmg + Kill Threshold

[faint cape]

Yeah, you could easily eat up like +5 or something lol

[desert tree]

~https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/rBrDvK4A
That's what I got so far

Don't look at the passive, it just to fill the requirements

[zealous tusk]

Was thinking of creating a new character, echo warpath VK, is it still good? Also can it be used to level up til 70? Or I should follow the one in maxroll?

[desert tree]

It's still good, you can start it straight away

I don't like Maxroll s lvling guide tbh

[zealous tusk]

I see. Because that build i think needs to have like cap crit chance if i am right.

[faint cape]

Yeah, I think that might be about as good as it gets... unless, hear me out, you could try tempest strike 😂

Sadly it would give no reason to scale attack speed really, but it has flat crit in the tree and can proc a few hit skills per use

but also it's tempest strike...

[desert tree]

Since I need to build up stack, maybe the triple initial hit is fine

With 2 sec of cd

[faint cape]

Maybe, but I think the DOTs give you a lot more damage total

Could also spec in avalanche, or not spec it, and use the boulder spawning node

[desert tree]

If I can get all the totems out

[faint cape]

Shouldn't be hard with a totem on hit idol and thorn totem spec'd

hm, if you use the 5x thorn totem per cast and max out the mana sustain nodes, is it possible to cast thorn totems and then pop them with upheaval and not kill your mana?

[desert tree]

The cast with idols does not consume mana

[faint cape]

I'm thinking self-casting and popping without using the idols as a possible way to get a lot of hits

or maybe also using one or both idols if it makes the play smoother

self-casting lets you not be forced to stand directly on top of bosses, EQ and upheaval both have really long range

[floral crown]

is buying power leveling or an account against tos?

[desert tree]

Yes

[desert tree]

A lot of good ideas thrown around.
Anyway I am off to bed
See you

[faint cape]

Buying an account from Eleventh Hour Games is totally fine, though

[faint cape]

Have a good night!

[floral crown]

with that being said, anyone down to powerlevel? reward at the end 😛

[desert pebble]

I just Unlocked empowered monos!

so now what? sicne all of em 100 lvl

which one i need to blast

[sinful laurel]

Whichever one you want to farm items you need

Oh and also blessings. Blessings first

[zealous tusk]

Am i doing it right? Im trying to push more corruption but ive only seen +4-9 to it.

[safe harness]

the amount of corruption you gain is higher farther from the center

also you can get gaze of owobys (which gives bonus corruption) each time you beat the monolith boss

[zealous tusk]

So as long as it is far from the center it is fine? Even i go up or down?

[safe harness]

Yup

It caps out around 22 I think

But often you will find dead ends around 15

[zealous tusk]

Alright thank you.

Also can I ask abt my minion crit, sometimes they make like 1k but sometimes they make 15k. How to make them consistent? Is it the multiplier?

[faint cape]

Typical damage variation isn't quite that extreme, unless you mean 1k non-crits and 15k crits (which is still pretty extreme tbh). What kind of build is it?

Like, if you're using a spriggan, it has a node that gives it like 16x damage if multiple short duration debuffs happen to overlap. If you're using a build with lots of minions, their damage numbers will combine if they happen to hit within the same very small time window. Some minion have activated abilities on cooldowns that deal more damage than their normal stuff.

[zealous tusk]

Thorn totem my build.

Crit is yellow right?

[faint cape]

Ah okay, it's probably just that sometimes they happen to hit on the exact same frame and a few numbers will add together

yeah, crit is yellow and non-crit is white

[zealous tusk]

Alright. Thank you friend

[toxic anvil]

what's the le filter folder?

also, does blizzard on storm totem stop the lightning?

[candid elm]

Open up the filter screen, Shift + F is the default, press the + at the top, and then there's a button to open the location:

I just copy and paste with the clipboard. Bottom option.

You can also check in
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Eleventh Hour Games\Last Epoch\Filters

Hmm can't get that to format nicely

[quick shadow]

Thx. I have paladin and necro around 60 lvl 🙂

[toxic anvil]

does casting abyssal echoes through warpath trigger nether coating?

[wide sentinel]

it should ye but you cant really use AE with warpath cause mana issues

[toxic anvil]

oh?

cant be that bad right?

wait damn u can trigger the screaming rifted stuff with warpath

and what's this about reduced ailment application chance with warpath?

[surreal verge]

Chances are 60% of listed instead of the default

So 200% becomes 120%

Etc.

[wide sentinel]

you do not regen mana while channeling

soooo

it is bad if you will be autocasting echoes

[quick shadow]

just cant beat with them this octopus like boss, in eye of the storm monlith 😦

[surreal verge]

Someone’s getting build checked by Lagon again!

[quick shadow]

well maybe not build as it is 😄 but poor random items for sure 😄

dmg is not a problem, but survivability 😄

[toxic anvil]

wait u dont?
where does it say that?

[surreal verge]

It’s the nature of channeling skills.
You can’t regen mana while constantly spending it

(This still applies even if warpath has a channel cost of 0)

[surreal verge]

Well lagon is very dodgable and only has one actual one shot skill…

[quick shadow]

I must push harder my movement speed I think 😄
and as for now, his every attack is taking me around 80-100% health 😄

[surreal verge]

You have a defense problem. If his claw slam does more than 1/2 of your health then you have to redo your defenses

That’s his weakest attack

[quick shadow]

I went full dps stats 😅 will have to stack more health

[surreal verge]

And resistances, health,block/dodge/endurance…

[quick shadow]

its hard to find while llving at 60 lvl items with nice dps / defense stats 😦

[surreal verge]

(Also how, items have 2 suffix slots)

[surreal verge]

Make your own, crafting time.

[quick shadow]

I was saving mats for endgame

ok, will do

[surreal verge]

Common affixes drop like candy

Like,it’s stupid common

It’s one thing to save rare affixes (like hybrid health), but most of the basic stuff are really really easy to get

Like standard health, endurance or any of the resists

[quick shadow]

ok 🙂

[surreal verge]

(Also try to hit 1.5k health)

[desert tree]

And get lightning and cold res

[toxic anvil]

does gorebringer increase the duration of time rot stacks?

if converted for warpath?

[desert tree]

Gorebringer?

[quick shadow]

will try, thx

[desert tree]

Nope, Apocalypse Whirl only convert Bleed Chance

[toxic anvil]

But gore bringer stacks of time rot apply at 100% effect?

[desert tree]

Gorebringer once Warpath converted will give you 30% chance to time rot, yes

[toxic anvil]

Cool

Other sources will only give you 60% right?

Like chance for time rot from passive tree

[desert tree]

Any bleed and ignite chance will be converted too

Like ignite from passives and Sigils of Hope

[zealous tusk]

Is it worth getting the unique drop blessing than the idols?

[safe geyser]

Does anyone knows how to get both intel and dexterity on a ring ? Looks like they cannot be dropped with these two stats

[native sail]

You... get a ring with int or dex and craft the other one on?

[thorn lynx]

heyo can anyone teach me how to get a loot filter

[surreal verge]

You craft one. They're also droppable.

You're also fighting 2/25 prefixes for the rings so.

[balmy current]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/a-basic-guide-on-how-loot-filter-works-and-how-to-set-up-your-own-loot-filter/25389

[quick shadow]

newbie / starter - rather warapath (which build) or void knight auto bomber ? 🙂

or maybe druid bear?

[icy drift]

whichever sounds coolest

[faint cape]

Kzb is right about the defenses and crafting, but if you want to respec one of these into a classic starter build, I'd recommend either bone shatter for necro, holy trail/judgement for paladin, or hammer throw for paladin (just don't pick a smite hammer to start with since it requires some idols).

[quick shadow]

Thanks 👍

[jagged bough]

anyone has this bg

?

[surreal verge]

Background is tied to patch I think

[jagged bough]

or similar to this from le

[lost tundra]

is summon necro bad play longterm lvling? its ok low 30s elbeit a bit boring

[native sail]

I mean, there's multiple Necro builds that easily handle all the content in the game, so no not really

[lost tundra]

ic, summons even scale into end game?

[surreal verge]

They're meta, if built properly

[lost tundra]

interesting, ty

[floral crown]

any runemasters on?

[surreal verge]

Check #🧙┃mage or just ask the question and see if anyone answers.

[edgy sphinx]

What's a good thing to use Rune of Ascendance on?

Or should I wait until super high level drops?

[surreal verge]

How would that matter? Ascendance only cares about the item type.

[edgy sphinx]

Hence why I'm asking.

[surreal verge]

Use it when you need a unique for a build

Mostly build defining ones, only RNG affects it. Pray to a god.

[desert tree]

Note that you can only get world drop uniques.
Boss Drops and Gambler unique are not obtainable from RoA

[warm yew]

^^

Anyone know if Mana Spent gained as Ward mods work on triggered skills?

[surreal verge]

Nope

[icy drift]

it does not

[safe geyser]

Most of the rings i get with either intel or dex wont allow me to craft the other stats on them for some reason, i dont really get it

[icy drift]

if you want i can hop onto vc and help you out, seems like you don't quite understand how crafting works

[analog wadi]

is there something up with the skullen shamens? cuz i take no dmg from them sometimes then i take like 2000 dmg

[gritty depot]

Hi everyone! The last time i played was a few months ago and i wonder if the controller usage has been improved ever since? I remenber it worked great in combat but for inventory management or for example to sell/buy from a merchant it was very unpractical.... still the same or anything new?

[lusty patrol]

Hi everyeone, sorry to ask this here but i'm new to this amazing game, currently playing Mage and going with the story but, should i pick a build and start a new character following this build ? or should i keep going ?

[sinful laurel]

Keep going? Idk why you would start new if you're enjoying yourself 🙂

[lusty patrol]

Well i don't want to be "useless" on the endgame haha

but i'm discovering the game rn, reminds me of PoE

[sinful laurel]

Mage is a great class

If all you care about is being OP then go runemaster

[lusty patrol]

Nah, being OP is not the word, i just want to be able to do things lmao

what thinking on going spellblade

[sinful laurel]

All classes can do things tbh, up to a certain corruption

Spellblade is very fun, but I'm also a spellblade fan

[lusty patrol]

😄

[sinful laurel]

Honestly if you're having fun and learning then youre doing great.

[lusty patrol]

is it normal to have some latency when changing zones ?

[sinful laurel]

You mean the long loading screen times?

[lusty patrol]

I mean, when i clic, it takes a while before the loading screen appears

[sinful laurel]

Probably same thing yeah. Known issue

[icy drift]

yes it's a known issue that they're working on fixing for 1.0

[lusty patrol]

Alright!

[frosty jackal]

Where can i get the flight of the first bow? I've been farming that item in ages and it still doesnt drop

[analog wadi]

try fall of the out casts mono

[frosty jackal]

im farming it there but still no luck

[analog wadi]

are you in empowered

[frosty jackal]

yes

[sinful laurel]

Can get it from runes of ascendance too

[frosty jackal]

also trying that but still no luck

[analog wadi]

takes time

[sinful laurel]

Just luck at that poiny

[frosty jackal]

:/

well im gonna go try my luck then

[analog wadi]

eventually youll find like 10 of them

[frosty jackal]

yeah i will get plenty of them when i dont need them i know that rule 😄

[lost tundra]

what level do you finish story and do endgame stuff?

[analog wadi]

around 50

[lost tundra]

cool ty, sheet im close now

[native lichen]

This might be a stupid question but increased damage modifier will increase damage over time as well, right?

[toxic anvil]

yep

[sinful laurel]

Unless it specifies an attack type or hit damage

[native lichen]

it says increased damage

it doesn`t say what type of damage

[icy drift]

There is no type

It's just increased damage

[sinful laurel]

Yup that will boost dot

[lusty nacelle]

ive seen tons of conflicting information on resists. is hp more imporant than having resists at cap?

[sinful laurel]

That's a hard question to answer without a bunch more information. In general, you want to eventually cap resistances and have a decent hp pool both, of course. But priorities before that point are more specific to what you're missing

But unlike Poe, having uncapped resists in this game isn't a death sentence

[lusty nacelle]

ok so im only 71 and working towards solid gear for empowered my hp is crazy low at 914 while my resists are capped currently

obviously in shot territory lol

so when gearing up are there resists i should worry about more for boss fights to make farming easier and i guess what would be a good hp to aim for starting my empowered corruption climb

im currently working on gearing out my wrongwarp lich for farming

[icy drift]

Resistances are important within reason, if you can get a resistance to 65 or so it's not really worth using anathor affix to cap it if that makes sense

But at the same time it sounds like all your defenses are just resistances and hp right now which is bad

Make sure to cap your Crit avoidance or less damage taken from crits too

[lusty nacelle]

yeah just swapped a relic in that has hp on it i lose some res and dmg but gain 100 hp lol

looks like i will have to sac some dmg for some better survival currently

[icy drift]

I mean my build has 1113 hp and I'm in 800 corruption pushing to 1000

[lusty nacelle]

i can use woven flesh for the crit avoid and 17% to hp

[icy drift]

So what I'm trying to say is you don't necessarily need hp

As long as you're doing something else

My build for example has a decent amount of ward, some armour, a little bit of straight Dr (like 8%) and like 15% dodge chance

Plus almost capped resistances, frailty, chill and high stun chance

Plus a lot of damage

All of those things help me survive

[lusty nacelle]

yeah i guess im just in a rough starting spot so i need to balance some things out

[icy drift]

Just take upgrades as they come

Don't try to force it

[lusty nacelle]

cold fire and poison res will have to take a hit for the moment all others are capped

55 55 and 66 res on those 3

[icy drift]

Poison and necrotic res are the least important btw

Poison less so than necrotic

[lusty nacelle]

necrotic and poison are baked into my skill tree so that works out for me

[icy drift]

I'd say it goes physical > void/elemental (depends on timeline) > necrotic > poison

But yeah unless you're dying all the time and feel stuck I wouldn't sweat it too much

[lusty nacelle]

wasnt dying a lot but i would get one shot clearing randomly and i need to stop that lol

wasnt even on bosses would get clipped by a skill and fall over even from reaper form lol

[icy drift]

There are big telegraphed attacks some monsters do that just deal a lot of damage

You just need to dodge those

I get oneshot by them still too, but my build is regarded as squishy to be fair

And my monsters have over 300% bonus damage

Sometimes 1000%

[lusty nacelle]

yeah im just trying to get my ward gear so i can have a higher ehp

[icy drift]

Yup good idea

[lusty nacelle]

right now im relying on hp for survival

and thats one of the hardest things to get in this game it seems lol

[icy drift]

Hp is decent but acolyte has a lot of decent ward sources

[lusty nacelle]

only been playing about a month

[faint cape]

If your idols are not build-enabling, I usually use those as flex space to cover bad resists while I'm upgrading gear

[icy drift]

Yeah same

För builds that don't have required idols I usually only use like a couple class specific ones and the rest are just resistances lul

[lusty nacelle]

yeah thats what ive been using my idols for to cover res

i dont have any good idols for my builds yet lol

[icy drift]

Imo eterran ones with vitality and phys/void/Necro/poison res are really nice

Since the vitality will give hp plus necrotic and poison res

And the suffix will give more res

It ends up being a pretty substantial chunk of resistances and hp

A max rolled eterran idol will give 18 HP, 3% necrotic, 3% poison , and 17% phys/Necro/poison/void res

So 18 HP and 23 res

Obviously you won't have max rolled ones

But even decently rolled ones will do you good

[lusty nacelle]

ill just start looking out for those more

[icy drift]

My character is a bit if an extreme example but you can check it out if you want

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/Cyborgwars/character/Lightningslapper

[lusty nacelle]

appreciate all the info this is very helpful

[icy drift]

Look at my idols lol

[sinful laurel]

Yeah what they said lol

[icy drift]

It's basically all for resistances

[lusty nacelle]

with some idol swapping im back to 71 74 70 75 74 75 75 so we are in a good spot there and now i just need more hp on some pieces

[icy drift]

Yup there you go

[lusty nacelle]

since ill be swapping to a wand and off hand at 77 i can stack hp on the off hand

should get me to about 1300ish hp

[sinful laurel]

What offhand? Iirc you can't get hp on a catalyst

[lusty nacelle]

currently using a 2h so i wont be losing any resists

[icy drift]

You can also get lagonian idols with both % increased hp and flat hp that are quite good btw

So be on the lookout for those too

[lusty nacelle]

doesnt have to be a catalyst i just need to survive lol

[sinful laurel]

Consider a shield. Well rolled cradle is amazing

For any build.

[icy drift]

Yeah cradle is super good

You just put it on and are instantly tankier

[lusty nacelle]

i do have one right now with 7 weavers that i havent used on it so i can pray it comes out good lol

[icy drift]

Even if it doesn't it'll be good

[sinful laurel]

7 is very low but it's a good start. And yeah even base it's very nice

[icy drift]

The base item is already good this early on

[lusty nacelle]

yeah i can just hope for some hp and maybe some block or something

[icy drift]

Yup gl

[lusty nacelle]

i mean my luck everything comes out effin minion based so im not holding my breath lol

[sinful laurel]

Don't forget to stack other sources of defensive layers too

Endurance cap is necessary if youre life based

Armor always helps

Dodge is great if you can get some

[lusty nacelle]

i always forget about endurance

[sinful laurel]

Just % cap, don't worry about threshold

[icy drift]

Just getting 60% endurance is pretty great tbh

[lusty nacelle]

so looking to get % endurance or +endurance

[sinful laurel]

%

[lusty nacelle]

kk

[icy drift]

% only

The threshold affixes are pretty bad numerically

[sinful laurel]

Your threshold scales with max hp, so just let it

[lusty nacelle]

oh just saw the % cap dont worry about threshold lol

i wanna get all my ward gear so i can really start pushing my EQ beastmaster build to like 10k ward and go ham on bosses

i would do the zombie nuker build but seeing as it will be nerfed hard on launch no point even though its INSANE lol

[sinful laurel]

It's so fucking broken

I wouldn't even touch it

But that's me

[lusty nacelle]

thats why im getting wrongwarp build done first then i can respec into the nuker and have some busted fun and then swap back to wrongwarp when they fix it lol

im sure -44k mana was not intended lmao

[icy drift]

Yeah I hate abusing busted builds personally, I find it so boring

[sinful laurel]

Are you not resetting on 1.0?

[lusty nacelle]

anything that lets me speed farm for all my other builds im onboard with lol

[sinful laurel]

Staying legacy?

[icy drift]

It's like cheating in a double chest of diamonds in Minecraft, as soon as you do you quit the world like 30 minutes later guaranteed

[lusty nacelle]

oh ill play the season but the non season characters will still exist right like PoE?

[sinful laurel]

Well here season and non season is technically the same.

[lusty nacelle]

ah i see

[sinful laurel]

I just love the economy reset and fresh start

[lusty nacelle]

will stash tabs still be saved though just the number of them obvi not what is in them

or will we need to rebuy all stash space again

[sinful laurel]

If you play cycle I don't think so

[icy drift]

Nope

[lusty nacelle]

ok good thats all i really care about

[sinful laurel]

Fresh start

[lusty nacelle]

ohhhh we will have to rebuy

[icy drift]

Yeah on legacy everything stays the same

But on cycle everything goes away

[lusty nacelle]

that really sucks to rebuy stash tabs for seasonal

was hoping it would be like PoE

you keep stash space

sadge

[icy drift]

A person who bought the game the day the cycle started will have the exact same experience as someone who's played for 5 years

Well in Poe stash tabs are paid with real money lol

It's not like they'd charge you every league

[lusty nacelle]

true

hopefully after the first season then in LE they let us keep stash tabs we buy

[icy drift]

Plus you won't need 50 tabs like you do in legacy (more like 200 in legacy)

In legacy they will

[lusty nacelle]

oh yeah i will crazy ocd for each of my characters lmao

[icy drift]

In cycles I'm 99% sure they won't

It's a good gold sink to help keep the economy stable

[lusty nacelle]

also i hear they might implement an AH for gold possibly too

[icy drift]

Not might

It's confirmed

!trade

[ripe brook]

Our latest plans on Trade, and Factions can be found here: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/trade-development-update-introducing-merchants-guild-and-circle-of-fortune-factions/51994.

[sinful laurel]

It's not a rmah to be clear. It's an in game bazaar

And according to muffin it's gonna be rad

[lusty nacelle]

so one character will be circle of fortune for farming and another will be merchants guild for selling 😄

[icy drift]

Nope can't do that

Lul

[lusty nacelle]

oh so its account bound

[icy drift]

Kinda

It's explained in the post

[lusty nacelle]

or can you use both

[sinful laurel]

Trying to be sneaky lol

[lusty nacelle]

ok

lol not sneaky entrepreneurial 😛

[icy drift]

Basically you can't trade gear found while in cof

And traded gear can't be equipped by a character in cof

And cof gear can't be equipped by a merchants guild character

So you can't really dual faction at all

There's no real benefit to it

[lusty nacelle]

so even if you play with a buddy they cant gift you items to wear if you in COF

ill go read this brb lol

[icy drift]

Mmhmm

No cheesing it

[lusty nacelle]

so the gift system will basically be no point in cof

also 45% chance of runes of ascendance to not be consumed is nuts

cof seems like the clear winner to start out as lol

boost to LP exalted affixes and runes are amazing perks

also being able to hunt specific items

[icy drift]

You won't wanna switch, you can't equip stuff you found from one faction while in the second faction

[lusty nacelle]

ah i see

[icy drift]

So if you start off cof and get to level 100, and then switch to mg you'll have to run naked

[lusty nacelle]

looks like we can still gift though to ppl in party

[icy drift]

Yeah you'd need to have a mg friend gift you items to use while running together lol

[lusty nacelle]

so i cant trade on the bazaar but i can still gift items found if im playing with them

[sinful laurel]

That requires having friends though

[lusty nacelle]

"We’ll be introducing a new item type called Resonances that drop when you’ve played alongside a player for a very extended period of time. Using a resonance on an item will enable it to be gifted to that player even if they were not present when the item dropped" is cool af too

[icy drift]

You also won't be gaining any reputation for mg while in cof

It's just not worth it

You're just gimping yourself in the long run

[lusty nacelle]

depends on how much ppl are selling items for on the AH lol

[wide sentinel]

i highly doubt the experience will be the same 5yo player wont be starting with vengeance fg

[sinful laurel]

I think he just meant stash and gear wise

[wide sentinel]

i know, just memeing

[sinful laurel]

Not experience and knowledge wise 😉

[lusty nacelle]

yeah just wanted my stash space to carry over

but dreams shattered lol

[sinful laurel]

Well now I want to start with vengeance fg

[lusty nacelle]

lol

[wide sentinel]

[lusty nacelle]

sooo i should go roll a vengeance sent right now is what you are saying 😄

lol

[sinful laurel]

Exactly

[lusty nacelle]

link the build lets get rollin on this lol

i love my auto bomber but the stutterstep on auto casting drives me crazy lol

wait is it void knight based because if so i can reroll mine lmao

[sinful laurel]

FG. So no lol

[lusty nacelle]

oh forge guard

derp

meh i like lvling the sent it smashes

[sinful laurel]

It is an easy campaign for sure

[lusty nacelle]

just need to find a really good 2h sword and throw it on a merophage

i have a titan heart with 1 lp on it so that will be a good starter chest too

[wide sentinel]

you rush anvil stance passive and take all iron blades nodes on vengeance

ez build

[sinful laurel]

There's your planner 🙂

[lusty nacelle]

you rock a 2h weapon with it or sword and board?

[wide sentinel]

mace and shield

[lusty nacelle]

well looks like i found a renegades will somewhere lucky me lol

what is the dmg type used in the setup or is there a good build on maxroll or lastepochtools

hmmm no build guide time to hit youtube lol

crap nothing recent

[sinful laurel]

I'm sure #🔱┃sentinel has someone with one

[desert tree]

Why are we playing vengeance mace + shield ?

[sinful laurel]

Because fuck it?

[desert tree]

Oo

[lusty nacelle]

lol

[desert tree]

Love it

Fg?

[sinful laurel]

Yup

Help this man with a planner Vlad 🙂

[pastel pebble]

[sinful laurel]

And why paranoia?

[pastel pebble]

I love me the slab

Prob for crot

Doesn't it give some DR?

[wide sentinel]

well its copium that in 1.0 itll work

[sinful laurel]

Ohhhh hava

[wide sentinel]

but ya paranoia can be swapped for sunforged helm

[sinful laurel]

Ok

[pastel pebble]

I'm mixing it up

[lusty nacelle]

i think i found a sunforged helm

oh no that was a chest

[pastel pebble]

Yo Misha I have a Renegades Will with a T7 melee crit

[lusty nacelle]

helm is one piece i dont have

[wide sentinel]

instead

[lusty nacelle]

i have the titan slab and hammer so good there for starting out

[pastel pebble]

I wanr a slab with LP

[lusty nacelle]

and gloves

[wide sentinel]

[sinful laurel]

Good thing wing guards Are there then

[pastel pebble]

I want to slam a Slab with Block Chance

I have multiple T7 Block Chance I am saving

[wide sentinel]

if anyone can take this build to empowered, they would be a true hero

[lusty nacelle]

thats what i thought when i saw the DR on block but reduced block chance of 16% lol

[pastel pebble]

I'll run it

[wide sentinel]

nooooo

[pastel pebble]

Prob will try to set it up tonight

[lusty nacelle]

[sinful laurel]

This shit is meme territory

110%

[pastel pebble]

I love off season LE

[lusty nacelle]

https://tenor.com/view/a-bully-cat-gif-22853814

[pastel pebble]

Its where all good cooking happens

[sinful laurel]

That's what us long termers live for though 🙂

[lusty nacelle]

i love the crafting in this game

[sinful laurel]

It's quite nice for sure

[lusty nacelle]

nice change from PoE where you just slam your head into your desk most of the time

[sinful laurel]

Well wait until you fail your 10th legendary slam in a row 😉

[lusty nacelle]

i mean still a lot of rng here too but i feel like i get better results lol

[pastel pebble]

Not happened to me yet

[lusty nacelle]

only 50% head slam

[sinful laurel]

Brag

[pastel pebble]

I don't slam enough TBH

I did sorta miss my slam but its useable

[lusty nacelle]

so i guess i wont be making this veng build and ill stick to my wrongwarp lich for now lmao

[pastel pebble]

There's rhe one I suggesred in Sent

It can be a bit gear hungry

[sinful laurel]

Mmm lowlife wrongwarp lich. I need to make that happen someday

[lusty nacelle]

ah didnt see that thanks @pastel pebble

yeah i got lucky and found a wrongwarp no lp but i can get started with it

[pastel pebble]

For leveling Rive is pretty easy going

[lusty nacelle]

and i really like lich skills

id say acolyte>sentinal>primalist are my favs

[sinful laurel]

I hope lich gets some love with warlock being there

Right now it's just too narrow, even though I love it too

[lusty nacelle]

yeah im excited to try out warlock

appreciate all the info thanks 😄 i gotta adult for a bit 😦

[unborn bear]

Is there a good Lich build for maximizing reaper form uptime? I'm leveling one right now and the main thing I really enjoy is the Reaper form, but Idk which playstyle (like main abilities) would be best or worst for keeping it.

[sinful laurel]

Leech and health Regen are your best friends. Doesn't really matter the skill as long as it hits. It will never last forever but it can last quite a while if you keep killing

[zealous tusk]

Is there a way to farm those experimental items?

[sinful laurel]

Kill mages

And glyphs of insight

[zealous tusk]

That glyphs of insight i can use it in exalted item? And turn one affix into experimental?

[sinful laurel]

Yup.

But you get them from experimentals. So still need to kill mages 🙂

[zealous tusk]

This affix shred armor, can only get in experimental gloves right?

[sinful laurel]

Huh?

That's a normal glove suffix

[lusty nacelle]

also the aura of decay will heal you the lower you get on hp and help sustain you in reaper form until you can aquire other methods

[sinful laurel]

Those are crazy julra gloves btw

[zealous tusk]

Yeah its the one in maxroll

The build im following

[sinful laurel]

Oh not yours. Rip

[zealous tusk]

Yeah, im just curious how he get those shred armor on it.

[icy drift]

Those aren't experimental no

[sinful laurel]

just a normal suffix. Just gotta smash it in

[zealous tusk]

I mean i didnt know exalt items drop those also?

[icy drift]

He just slammed it with a glove that had shred on it using the eternity cache

[zealous tusk]

Ahhh I see.

[sinful laurel]

Which coincidentally you can do with experimental affixes too

[zealous tusk]

Im just unlucky then since havent seen those kind of affix in gloves.

[sinful laurel]

Just make a filter rule for it

So it pops out when it does drop

[zealous tusk]

Ohhh that will work, ill just get the normal ones.

[sinful laurel]

You can make two rules if you really want. One for the affix to shatter/removal and get shards and one for exalted

[unborn bear]

Do any of the main skills excel with leech/hp regen over others? Last time I played, I was Sorc so I know very little about Lich beside what's on maxroll.

[zealous tusk]

Will add those. Thank you!

[sinful laurel]

Fast hitting skills, of which lich excels mainly at spells. Although harvest works too

[edgy sphinx]

Is there a way to refund all my passive points for one lump sum at the refund guy?

[sinful laurel]

Nope

[edgy sphinx]

Oh. Unfortunate. I hope that will be a thing one day.

[faint cape]

Just fyi, you can press enter to confirm each refund. Helps, at least.

[hollow sierra]

just bought this game cause i needed something to quench my arpg desires and i have retention issues in current poe. though i would like to ask - how does this game compare moment to moment?

like, if there's a scale from diablo to poe. diablo i consider slow and approachable, poe i consider fast and knowledge-heavy

i've seen a lot of stuff toting that it's got a good amount of complexity which is awesome but how does it feel in game

[faint cape]

It is somewhere in the middle on that scale. It feels very good in game, lots of meaningful build choices, but way more approachable than PoE. Part of that though is that it doesn't have anywhere near the amount of content as PoE, but it'll grow out eventually and the devs are super communicative.

[hollow sierra]

yeah the content concerns are invalid to me rn

poe has like a decade of old seasonal content to reuse. this game isn't even out yet

i'm just used to the very fast paced gameplay from poe. zippy, twitchy. i do want it a bit slower, sure, but i still like fast

and i'm watching a video right now and it does a very good job giving me good vibes about coming in regarding builds.

because my biggest gripe on poe... is that nobody can explain concisely how to build...

[zealous tusk]

I got like 160+ corruption, why it is only +4 appear on my monolith? Even though im far from the center.

[desert tree]

Not far enough

Keep going

The max you can get is +16 (for the base Corruption)

[surreal verge]

Go find the edge of the world.

[native sail]

Just to be clear, it isn't based on number of nodes to the center, it is based on like, actual visual distance. Draw a straight line from the Shade to the center for distance, basically.

[sterile widget]

Keep swimming, little one. The ocean is a big place and we are but tiny fishes.

[oak escarp]

is anyone else having issues getting into the game?

[thorn lynx]

heyo can anyone teach me a good levvling build for lich mastery ?

i feel my build is really bad rn cause im really new to the game and i havent put really any points in lich tree apart from like a few int points

[lusty nacelle]

i used the one on maxroll it worked really well

[zealous tusk]

Anyone using controller or playing in sd? How do you put the item faster in crafting?

[lusty nacelle]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/lich-leveling-guide

does a good job explaining skill uses and stuff also

[thorn lynx]

ooh thank you

[lusty nacelle]

for sure

[thorn lynx]

do you think i should respec my entire build cause i do feel like i have fucked up in it

i tried putting points in everything trying to make it a jack of all trades but it feels weak in everything now

[native sail]

Uh. Jack of all trades does not exist in LE.

You have to specialize into something

[thorn lynx]

yeah i meant like i put some points in lich , some points in minions and some pooints in just regular acolyte stuff

so my minions werent strong , my lich was kinda weak and my acolyte stuff was also unoptimised

[native sail]

Yeah, don't do that. If you're going minions go minions, if you aren't then don't.

[thorn lynx]

btw if i can ask since you used the same build , what stats should i focus on ? especially for the weapon

im really new to arpgs so i am not very good at this

[native sail]

Depends on the build, Lich has a few different things. What you use is entirely dependant on your skills and how you set them up.

[thorn lynx]

ahh oki

ngl i just saw the name lich and picked it up cause it sounded cool lol

also the fact you get to become a reaper

[native sail]

I'm the person who is asking for Lich reworks tbh. It crutches Reaper Form and Death Seal too much imo, feels like they need to rebalance it a little so it isn't almost entirely reliant on them.

[thorn lynx]

ahhh i see , i dont have death seal unlocked nor am i that far into the game that i can say for sure whats right or wrong but i dont mind the concept of reaper form being one of the main skill lich...i feel like it helps it stand out

also it looks really cool lol

[native sail]

The problem I have with it is that no other class is limited that heavily to using specific skills. You can play a Bladedancer without using any of the BD skills, you can play a Druid and ignore two different forms if you want, etc etc, Lich feels underpowered without Reaper or Seal in comparison to other skills which means it loses a lot of build variety. And build variety is the number one thing I care about in these games.

[west pasture]

Hey, anyone knows if it's possible to have a non-unique helmet for rogue with Intelligence? Even if eventually through a legendary item

[native sail]

I don't think so

Maybe Barbute

[west pasture]

Yeah, unfortunately I'm using the Peak of the Mountain helmet, and was looking for being able to make it legendary with a good int roll. Oh well, thanks!

[native sail]

I'd have to check the build planner to see if Rogues can get int on helmet, but thematically speaking I don't think they can

[west pasture]

I used lastepochtools one, and it let's you put it into a helmet, but been farming for a while and haven't found a single one so far in-game

Nevermind, no it doesn't.

Legendary itens created from a mage helmet will be locked to mage after being turned into legendaries right?

[native sail]

Yea

[west pasture]

No chance then. Thanks for the help!

[icy drift]

Wait can't you just put int on an exalted helmet?

It's not like int is mage specific

[native sail]

Int isn't available on Rogue helmets

[icy drift]

Wtf really?

[native sail]

Yeah

Every class has some attribute(s) they can't slap on their main gear

[icy drift]

I thought all attributes were available in all slots attributes could be in ngl

Like if you can put one attribute there you can put them all there

Guess not

[native sail]

Nope, rings can't get Vit and something else

[icy drift]

Oh trueeee

You're right

I never noticed I guess lol

[native sail]

It's hard to keep straight which are available to what :P

[icy drift]

Never really ran into the issue I guess

[native sail]

I imagine you don't normally run into an issue with int on Rogue unless you're doing ward stuff

[icy drift]

Dex seems available absolutely everywhere lol

And int too

For a mage

Like I can out dex on my mage helm

Poor rogue

[native sail]

I think Primalist can't have dex?

Or is it aco?

[icy drift]

Maybe you can't have str on mage helms

Idk

Interesting, you learn something new everyday

[lusty patrol]

Is there any good leveling filter ? My screen is chaos sometimes haha

[desert tree]

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

[hollow sierra]

how is this compared to the LEtools filters

trying to set myself up with a good baseline...

[desert tree]

Le tools filter are generated for the planner you are using

Those are generic

[hollow sierra]

ok sounds good

[desert tree]

Ultimately you want to learn how it works (pretty simple) to make your own.

[hollow sierra]

of course, i'm just trying to look for a good baseline

[desert tree]

Personally I start with one from letools and modify it

[hollow sierra]

yeah the letools ones i was looking at are like

[sinful laurel]

I do the same but with heavy zs

[hollow sierra]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/loot-filters/view/Z9Qnpzo0

oh i forgot that's the whole page

it's the ones marked [LE Tools] and i just de facto was thinking okay sure

i'm used to going to filterblade for poe filters lol

are there account-wide stashes

[gleaming panther]

hi, not sure if this is the place ask this kind of stuff, but i got a problem with latency, on the login screen and the settings i see 50 ms, but in game i get 500+ any tips on troubleshooting this? i do get good ping on a vpn but using the free version i get dropped constantly

[surreal verge]

Stashes are account wide by default

[sinful laurel]

Try a different server, even if it's not your closest.

Also verifying integrity of game files wouldnt hurt

[gleaming panther]

yeah i'm testing them all, US East seems the best with 130ms (this time same as i see in the selection screen) but still not ideal

[sinful laurel]

Yeah that's still high. How is your actual internet?

[gleaming panther]

outside of LE everything is fine, speedtests and all, other games aswell

[sinful laurel]

Try verifying integrity

Beyond that, server and lag issues are well known and are one of the primary dev foci right now

[gleaming panther]

i think it's a problem between server and my ISP, like i mentioned with a VPN i do get 60 ms

[sinful laurel]

You can try and submit a support ticket

maybe check your firewall/VS settings

[gleaming panther]

but US East working wouldn't make sense if i had setting problems right?

[sinful laurel]

I don't know tbh

Logically no, but with as many issues as people are having

Better to just check off everything

[gleaming panther]

also just to make sure, everything was fine yesterday

[sinful laurel]

Well...maybe stupid question. But what changed on your end from yesterday?

And have you tried just a full computer restart?

[gleaming panther]

will have to try this, did reset modem, otherwise nothing changed, unless sun coming up in the morning is an issue xD

[sinful laurel]

Dont forget to verify integrity. It helps in more situations than you think

[gleaming panther]

also unrelated but what options should i fiddle with to make the snow not blind me

[gleaming panther]

will do

[sinful laurel]

Lol maybe settings on your monitor. But the snow is just kinda blinding. It's been reported by a bunch of people. Turn down your gamma and contrast

[gleaming panther]

gotcha, i already did lower stuff, but don't really wanna touch up the monitor each time i go in and out of LE, i'll just live with it and try to avoid snow as much as possible lol

[sinful laurel]

Yeah I feel you there.

My monitor has profiles I can save but I know a lot dont

[gleaming panther]

restarted and verified files, can't do much more, aside from looking for a good vpn that doesn't drop me every few mins

[swift star]

if my friend has a timeline unlocked that I don't, and I join them in an echo for that timeline, do I still gain stability... and can I eventually fight the boss with them for the loots?

[gleaming panther]

lol, i mean the ping did drop, from 500 to 260, i guess it's something

[unborn bear]

Is the lightning meteor build still good for Sorc? I wasn't planning on making one but over the course of playing my Lich, I've gotten both Harbinger of Stars and the staff for it.

[sinful laurel]

Yes it works well. You don't need the belt for it but

[hollow sierra]

what does this icon mean

[lunar holly]

the zone has a waypoint which you haven't yet activated, it becomes a blue star when you activate it

[hollow sierra]

ok baller

can i go back through an opened town portal

[sinful laurel]

If it's still open, yes

I feel like clicking your open town portal would have been a quicker answer 🙂

[unborn bear]

Oh if I don't need the belt, I might look into something else. I saw a build that uses Black Hole and lightning meteor with lightning blast and frost wall that looked really fun, especially since I've been looking for a good build with Black Hole.

[hollow sierra]

i did find the answer but there was loot i didn't want to lose out on lul

arg i lost the loooooot

[sinful laurel]

Yeah that's the proc build. It works well enough but murders your mana

[unborn bear]

I thought everything Sorc did murdered their mana ;P

[sinful laurel]

Nah

Not like this

I'm talking 800 mana gone in 1.5 seconds

Also doing that build with vilatrias kinda sucks tbh

[unborn bear]

Ah. Well how does that kind of build compare with other Mage options? The build I saw didn't really go into detail of how high of content it could tackle.

[sinful laurel]

Mage has a ton of options depending on what your goals are

[unborn bear]

I just meant in terms of clearability, does it fall off at a certain difficulty point? I don't usually like to build things that lose their clear potential pretty fast in endgame content.

[sinful laurel]

That's what I'm saying though, what's your definition of endgame?
