[sinful laurel]

Do you want to push high corr? Or do you just want to farm comfortably at a decent corr level

[unborn bear]

Probably higher corruption

[sinful laurel]

Then go runemaster

[unborn bear]

Alright, that's what I'm leveling right now (aside from my Lich), any type of Runemaster in particular?

I've been leaning towards lightning but Idk if that works best, just looks the coolest

[sinful laurel]

The class overall is broken AF. You can get away with almost anything tbh

Lightning blast RM is stupid OP

[unborn bear]

Yeah that's what I was going for with that, so I'll just stick with that build

[sinful laurel]

Following the guide I assume?

The 2500 corr one?

[unborn bear]

I was just using a video guide I found on it since there didn't seem to be too many. If you have a better one, I'd be interested to look at it. I'm still just in the leveling phase my RM.

[swift star]

are the maxroll class builds (leveling and end-game) good builds, or is there a better place that is more accurate/reliable/gooder?

[sinful laurel]

Some are good. Some are less good. Case by case basis

Overall it's a decent repo though

[toxic anvil]

How do builds enable good health regen?

[buoyant sinew]

getting the flat regen affixes on slots that have them is pretty key, because every single one of them is higher than your base regen. then just stacking as many % increased regen affixes as possible.

it's generally not worthwhile unless you're using something elese that scales with regen (Vessel of Strife), since you can normally just get leech and get the same result much more easily

[sinful laurel]

Also shattered lance exists

But spark is correct. You will never be able to just rely on massive Regen to survive

[faint cape]

Yeah, if you play a build with only regen for recovery, it's generally like playing a ward build, but worse. Gotta have vessel or shattered lance to make the regen do more.

[hollow sierra]

how can i quickly pick up items

do i have to click on them?

mostly, i'm wanting to quick grab nearby gold and crafting stuff

[surreal verge]

Click

Gold is AoE pickup on click, so are crafting shards

[hollow sierra]

darn so i do need to click them to start off

what's the difference between these two items?

the bloom tender has this on it which is different from other prefix/suffix mod text

is this just a special mod?

[toxic echo]

Its a 'personal' affix. They only drop in campaign in specific chests

[hollow sierra]

ooooh.

[misty helm]

oh, i didn't realize all damage had +/- 25%. i knew there was random somewhere, but that's quiet the range

any other tidbits in dmg calc i am likely missing? glancing blows are kinda low profile too

amd wiki has glancing at two diff values.

[balmy current]

Yup, except DoT damage

[balmy current]

glancing blow was 50% DR but reduced to 35%

[native sail]

If you're on Fandom, get off it immediately. It's way out of date.

[hollow sierra]

is it a known bug that you can get the reward for artem's offer without having the ledger

[misty helm]

i think it was tools, at least when i started, haha

[native sail]

Phew

[hollow sierra]

idk what that means but yeah i was able to get the unique but i still have the quest

[grand rock]

I'm playing a "low life" build with % of life missing is converted to Ward.
Sometimes I die to whatever, although I still have 200 or upwards ward.
And when I'm dead I still see the amount of ward I had.

Is that because that last hit, killing me is doing enough dmg to one hit me?

[desert tree]

The life pool is a bit weird since they have enabled the death animation (or I just started to noticed it since then)

[native sail]

yeah sometimes ward and life just regens after you've died. It's just visual disconnect between client and server afaik.

[hollow sierra]

ok yeah i think i have a bit better idea of what i want now from my build

i think i'm going to go with raptors as my beastmaster pet, and either try to do raw phys or bleed...

[static raven]

I still wish there would be some way to farm for something that lets you switch mastery, so you do not have to create a whole new character to try other mastery options of a class. I would gladly farm content for an option to do that. So many more variabilities of play styles. While I know it is the only thing that cannot be changed, having something that would allow you to for people who want that option would be a great QOL improvement to an outstanding game.

[sinful laurel]

Devs have made it pretty clear they want at least ONE layer of identity and connection between player and character. That's extremely unlikely to change

[grand rock]

this I saw a few times. Though I actually think to remember me dying although I still had ward. ^^ as if they'd do true dmg or so.

[native sail]

Nothing that does "true damage" can kill you in this game, assume you got one shot and visuals couldn't keep up tbh

[balmy current]

Not even the AoE necrotic degen in one of the older arena maps? I seem to remember that ignoring ward (and while the blood pools in the Dragon Emperor fight do ignore ward, they can't kill you as they do % of current HP).

[faint cape]

All map hazards drain a % of your current health, they can't kill you and low health builds should be functionally immune.

[sinful laurel]

Except some of them stun you :(. Like empys blood pools

So just be careful of that

[fickle kraken]

So when I'm trying to hold ALT on the passive tree to get more information, that window pops up behind what I'm actively looking at... is there anyway to fix this?

[icy drift]

Change resolution lul

But for real the best thing you can do until it gets fixed is just look up the subskill or whatever it is on lastepochtools

[odd spruce]

Is controller configuration broken? Or am I missing something? When I click the skill and it tells me to select a button, I select it and it doesn't save. Wth and I missing?

[hollow sierra]

how do i know how many shards i have

[misty helm]

there are very few things that can kill you through ward, and they are all flat hp abilities that you cast (not current hp). so odds are its just the ward regen from after you die, since LL builds regen the first few hundred ward very fast.

[misty helm]

should have a button to click on in inventory sheet to scroll through pnes you have. or open ghe forge then top left to browse for that item

bottom right of char?

[hollow sierra]

are the "shards" on the right how many i have, not how many i need?

[misty helm]

yes, right column is current inventory

[hollow sierra]

ok

because i get confused about this stuff 💀

doesn't tell me how much they cost

[misty helm]

each shard does a single level of an item

you can get a rebate sometimes if using... that one glyph

scroll*

i might be in too much pain to have good answers, haha. max tier of each affix is 5. you wont blaze through shards very fast, and will end up with several hundred of the common ones

i would suggest just experimenting early with the system, most items you get dont really need to be saved, and fiddling will be the quickest way yo learn it

prefix are dps related, and suffix survival

[hollow sierra]

yeah i just chose my mastery recently

[misty helm]

leveling you should mainly just upgrade anything you would already wear, then by end game you'll look for specific bases to work with

[hollow sierra]

i'm starting to get money and i do see more of the break an item stuff

but i don't know what to break down

yellows?

[misty helm]

nice! monoliths are what i play for. you're there soon

[hollow sierra]

wait really

it doesn't feel like i went through too much

[misty helm]

the shatters are good for items that look almost good, or have an affix you like but dont have many of

campaign is fairly minor compared to the endgame system

[lusty nacelle]

the higher the tier of the affix when you shatter the more shards you will get in return as well

[hollow sierra]

i'm used to poe endgame i'm familiar with that kinda progression

[misty helm]

dont stress much about items, you wont overlook anything game changing

[hollow sierra]

all i know is that i got unique gloves that summon bees in the early levels

[misty helm]

yeah, removals give better results fo, but random which it breaks. really only matters if you are really strapped for a specific affix

[hollow sierra]

and i have not unequipped them yet

[misty helm]

haha

no one is gonna begrudge da bees

i think there was only a small window that i did a lot of shatters and had to be buying them from the vendors. i wouldn't stress too much about that part

[hollow sierra]

i am gonna stockpile the shatters

buying from vendors where possible

do i need to worry about strict resistance breakpoints

cause that was big in poe

[fathom remnant]

resistance is important, maybe not as punishing but still important.

[sinful laurel]

Def not as punishing

You can get away with 60-65 res without issue if you build enough other defensive layers

[wide sentinel]

or you can just dont get hit

[sinful laurel]

Real players ☝️

[wide sentinel]

knowing what mobs can kill you speeds up progress a lot

[sinful laurel]

Nothing can kill you if you don't get hit. Duh

[hollow sierra]

what kinds of things will i be spending gold on down the line

[sinful laurel]

For now? Stash tabs and a dungeon

Later. Depends on what faction you join

!trade

[ripe brook]

circle of fortune will be coming to offline right? anyone hear?

[quartz blaze]

should be yes

only cof

not bazaar

[white leaf]

Hey there
When I respec passives does it respec also the 4 skills specialization so I can try to specialize other skills?

[surreal verge]

You do that in the skill specialization screen instead.

[grand rock]

Thanks for elaborating! Really appreciate it!

[fading girder]

anyone know why i always start each zone with like 1/3 of my hp? so annoying

[desert tree]

Bug

Your character is first loaded without gear, so you get your base health and mana

Then your gear is added, so your max health goes up

[fading girder]

oh i see. whelp. now i know why atleast

[zealous tusk]

How do you guys check minion crit chance? I mean the totem 🤔

[desert tree]

You don't

You calculate it

[zealous tusk]

Does minion crit chance affects totem right?

[desert tree]

Especially if you have base crit chance from ferebor

[zealous tusk]

Because theres an affix that says "to totems"

[desert tree]

Yes

[zealous tusk]

I see. Is there a cap to it?

[desert tree]

Totems are minions, but not all minions are totems

[desert tree]

Does not do anything after 100%

[zealous tusk]

So im always seeing yellow dmg, so i think it is fine.

Also I wanted to try echo warpath VK, but im trying to farm for its item, or I should start a VK now and farm on that character?

[desert tree]

There is a weighting for loot. You will find a lot more primalist gear on primalist. Not impossible to find sentinel body armor and helmet on primalist. But it's harder

Up to you

The weighting does not apply for unique and set items

[zealous tusk]

Hmmm alright. Thanks!

[grave willow]

When they implement seasons or cycles, will we have to level a new character every cycle?

[surreal verge]

If you want to be in the cycle leaderboard, yes.

[grave willow]

Thanks

[desert pebble]

how do i increase range of this blessing?

[surreal verge]

Farm it again

[desert pebble]

kk ty

[pastel pebble]

How does Eye of Orion interact with Ravenous Void? Specifically with the damage taken as and less damage taken parts

[desert tree]

Conversion apply only once

So all void dmg is converted to fire. A portion of phys is converted to void. But that portion is not converted to fire

[pastel pebble]

Ah OK

[mint reef]

are there training dummies or something to test dps on ?

[pastel pebble]

Divine Era arena. Its in the top section of the map near the Wengari camps

[mint reef]

thanks

[sinful laurel]

Fyi can also right click on keys to take you to the location on the map. Including arena key for dummy

[eternal coyote]

so is this actually the case? lvl99 monsters have a damage reduction of almost 87% ? or do i misunderstand something here

[sinful laurel]

Nope. You're correct

This is why 500k hits on a dummy are 50k hits in lvl 100 echoes

[eternal coyote]

and there is no way to counter this? does the enemy resistance to elements and armor come on top of this?

[sinful laurel]

This is just a base amount of damage reduction that every enemy gets based on their level

No way to counter it. Just do more damage

[eternal coyote]

"doing more damage" sounds like a complete waste when only ~13% of the "more damage" you deal comes actually through and you have no other way to increase it

[sinful laurel]

Well your thinking is backwards. Dont worry about the absolute value of difference between damage. If you're doing 50k hits in monos you have plenty of damage

And you can still do all the same things to increase your damage

[pastel pebble]

50k damage in a monolith is more than plenty

[sinful laurel]

The same ways

It's not like monsters have 150 million health AND 87% DR

[eternal coyote]

the thing its NOT YET the game is still young and monster health can be subject of change in the future making either an complete rework of how DR functions right now necessary or not increasing health of monsters at all i dont know how i feel about this tbh but 87% overall damage reduction while element resistances and armor come even on top of this it sounds pretty harsh even if you deal enough damage right now

[sinful laurel]

It's only harsh if you care about the magic number that pops out of a dummy versus a mob

[eternal coyote]

hmm

[sinful laurel]

It's not harsh if you just play monos and kill things and improve your character naturally

[surreal verge]

It's not like monsters have defenses other than this.

(UNless you caused it yourself)

[eternal coyote]

dont they have resistances and armor just like the player? even penetration exists for this kind of stuff to overcome it so why would monsters need an huge overall percentage based damage reduction on top ?

[sinful laurel]

Nope. Not rrally

99% of enemies have zero armor and zero resistances

Unless specifically stated. Or like kzb said, done by you with echo modifiers

Penetration and res shred and armor shred all go negative, as more modifiers to your damage

[eternal coyote]

so penetration stats only exist as a damage modifier because theres no resistances to reduce at all?

[sinful laurel]

Except for the few enemies that have res, yes

And even then, it's still a direct damage multiplier

As it's reducing their resistance

[pastel pebble]

Shred and penetration go far in this game

[desert tree]

I can't think of any. Do you have an exemple?

[sinful laurel]

Embermages have fire res

Iirc a few bigger empire enemies have necrotic res

It's rare but it does happen. And it's always stated under the nameplate

[eternal coyote]

smh this sounds to me like the easy way. instead of giving all monsters resistance based stats you go with an overall percentage based reductor even through that might cause trouble in the future if monsters ever get increases in their HP

[surreal verge]

They already do. (See corruption)

[sinful laurel]

You can think that, but it's a reductive and doomer way to think

People are already doing 3000 corruption, with this DR in place

So...

[misty helm]

yhe fact that res can go negative means there is no reason to aim for a specific

and just keep piling it on as a multiplier. which just makes it another bucket

[surreal verge]

5 stacks of armor shred is enough to fuck you OR the enemy

(This is why no one uses AoD armor shred)

[sinful laurel]

And why wengari undead axe throwers with an armor shred mod are so deadly lol

[misty helm]

to be fair, i like the penetration bucket much better than the crit bucket or it-which-shall-not-be-named vulnerable bucket

[sinful laurel]

D4? Huh?

[misty helm]

doooooom!

[sinful laurel]

Lol

[surreal verge]

Oh my god don't get me started on ice elementals

They murder you as fast as axe throwers

[sinful laurel]

True

[surreal verge]

That whole region is a death trap

[sinful laurel]

You mean the rapid fire ones right?

The construct looking ones

[surreal verge]

Yup

[pastel pebble]

Stop standing still

[sinful laurel]

They hurt

Lots and lots

[pastel pebble]

Run faster

Do what I do

[sinful laurel]

Stop getting hit. Plebs

[pastel pebble]

I strife and void cleave in like a real intellectual

[misty helm]

literally, as i make my dps calculator, penetration is just another 'more'

[sinful laurel]

Yup. As it should be

[pastel pebble]

My DR is 100% when I am not being hit

[misty helm]

whoa now

[eternal coyote]

but corruption doesnt increase the base HP of the monsters instead its just a percentage based modifier from their base HP or not? so if they have 1000 health an corruption modifier of 10% increase from their base HP would still be "Just" an increase of 100. what i meant tho is when monsters start to have 5mil or even 10mil HP or even more having a 87% overall DR would make a massive powercreep on the players necessary and this especially includes bosses which become pretty harsh pretty fast that way without abusing any form of exploit or something

[misty helm]

dodge mayhaps, idk about dr

[sinful laurel]

Why are you so worried about things that aren't actually real or exist?

[pastel pebble]

They tend to go a lot higher than 10% more health

[surreal verge]

You would think devs would have planned this in mind.

[pastel pebble]

Does any monster even have 10 mil HP at 3k corruption?

[misty helm]

my prob with corruption atm is that it's a slow creep up when my power spikes come in big peaks

[surreal verge]

But yeah Corruption increases are pretty high most of the time.

[pastel pebble]

They're smoothing it out afaik at 1.0

[surreal verge]

100% easily.

But double health is... kinda nothin.

[sinful laurel]

Yeah 1.0 is looking to be a MUCH nicer corruption scale and mechanic

[surreal verge]

You'll never have a damage issue

you'll always be having a defense issue instead.

LE is a defense game.

[pastel pebble]

This game is a lot more concsrned with defenses

[surreal verge]

Not getting hit at all helps.

[sinful laurel]

I feel like if you don't get hit you'll never get hit. I may be wrong, don't quote me on this

[pastel pebble]

100% DR on the hits you don't take

But this is part of why blocking, dodge, etc all go very far

[sinful laurel]

And layering them

[surreal verge]

(And now after understanding LE I can play Lootun better-)

[pastel pebble]

On my VK I gave up VR damage for Vengeance's defensive buffs

[icy drift]

If you double your damage, your damage against monsters doubles, so no it's not a waste to increase your damage at all, this just gives monsters higher ehp without actually having to give them that hp as a number, poe does very similar things

[eternal coyote]

the damage reduction is percentage based which means even if you double your current damage it will still only be ~13% that comes out so 87% of the damage you doubled is wasted

[icy drift]

They do this because they're most likely using 32 bit signed integers, so the most hp anything can have is like 2.1 billion, which isn't that insane in these games, so instead of reacting to the issue when they get to it like poe had to do, they're making a proactive choice of giving enemies dr right away.

[icy drift]

no, if i'm hitting an enemy and doing 10k dmg, and i double my damage, i will now do 20k damage

[sinful laurel]

That's just not true

[icy drift]

see how if i double my damage, my damage doubles?

[wide sentinel]

I mean its literally just numbers that pop on your screen, without this dr devs would just increase hp 10 times more and everyone would see 500k+ crits instead of 50k

[icy drift]

13% of 100 000 = 13 000, 13% of 200 000 = 26 000, if you double your damage your damage doubles, no matter what

[wide sentinel]

yep that dr is just a multiplier

[icy drift]

this is literally just to combat literal technical issues with no real solution besides this

this is all they can do

or move to 64 bit integers

which would make the game take a hit to performance

[eternal coyote]

if you did 10k damage before and double your damage to 20k only 13% of that increased 10k will be counted towards the increase which means you are not doing 20k suddenly but only 11300.

[icy drift]

no.

your math is wrong

read what i said earlier

#❔┃ask-the-community message

[surreal verge]

If you already did 100k, and get a 100% more multiplier, you're doing 200k before DR.
With DR you're now at 10k and 20k

[wide sentinel]

ye your math is wrong, the dr and you doubling damage are two separate multipliers

u can do them in any order

[icy drift]

plus i think LE uses floats not even ints

in which case the max is actually really high, but i imagine they still don't want to become diablo 3

Where they're hitting the 64 bit integer cap

[wide sentinel]

ya i hate big numbers too, it looks stupid and clutters the screen

[icy drift]

i've turned off the damage numbers entirely at this point tbh, it was fun seeing the nice shiny numbers for a while but i just wanna kill stuff now

[gleaming panther]

question, i'm playing a frost claw-ice barrage frostbite build guide says to get armour shred on stuff, from what i gather that does not increase the damage from frostbite, am i getting that much damage from it that's worth?

[icy drift]

There's a node in runemaster that converts armour shred to frostbite

[gleaming panther]

that answers it, thanks

[icy drift]

np

[gleaming panther]

yeah found it

[surreal verge]

Oh dear we're getting an essay

[icy drift]

right? lol

[eternal coyote]

but exactly here i see the problem? why do you take the damage that you actually deal on the tooltip into account but not the actual damage you do on the mob? if we stay on that same example with 13% of 100 000 = 13 000 you only deal 13 000 after 87% DR so even if you double that amount to 26 000 the original DR still applies to the damage you did before the increases so the increase in overall damage is actually 13% of 26 000 which is then added to the damage you did before which means the 13% is actually an increase of 3380 bringing your damage up from 13 000 to 16 380 instead of 26 000 idk maybe i dont seem to understand here

[icy drift]

no man

lol

let's say i have 100 000 damage before dr

and i have a total of 100% increased damage

the calculation would look like this:

100 000 * 2 * 0.13 = 26 000

it would not be

100 000 * 0.13 * (2*0.13)

like you're saying

[gleaming panther]

tbh doesn't make sense for the dr to apply to the base damage first and to that number apply the increases, to me at least

[icy drift]

The DR comes last

it's on the mob

not on you

or i mean it could be on you technically

[faint cape]

It doesn't really make a difference what order you do anyway

[icy drift]

but practically it's not

[surreal verge]

Because it's all multiplies and ONLY multiplies the order doesn't matter.

You'll get the same result.

[surreal verge]

Would you prefer bigger damage numbers and bigger health numbers instead?

[icy drift]

yeah you can rearrange the order of factors in multiplcation without anything changing, it's Commutative

[gleaming panther]

the problem was that dr was applied multiple times

[faint cape]

I knew maths was communist

[sinful laurel]

Again phant, not meaning any offense, but it's really ok to be wrong

[icy drift]

But it's not. Pantasma thinks it is, but it's not, it's applied once and once only

[eternal coyote]

no i but i would prefer being able to work around with the damage you deal like being able to fight the resistances and increase my damage that way instead of having to deal with an universal damage reduction that i cant do anything against it

[icy drift]

Like i said

the DR doesn't change anything

[sinful laurel]

You can still do ALL of that. Nothing changes

[icy drift]

literally nothing

[surreal verge]

You could give all mobs 75% all reisistance and it'll do the same thing.

[gleaming panther]

i'm not saying you're wrong, i was saying multiple dr application doesn't make sense

[sinful laurel]

Except for the magic number that pops out of a dummy vs an enemy

[icy drift]

yes, that's why the game doesn't do it

there is nothing to "fight against"

it's just giving the mob the ehp they should have

[eternal coyote]

what i mean is like when you give monsters that huge global resistance than i think it should be fair to give players something at hand aswell to fight against it thats just all im saying in a nutshell

[icy drift]

no

[surreal verge]

You do you muppet, Resistance shred, armour shred, marked for death...

[sinful laurel]

It literally doesn't matter at all. It's just a number limiter. A ceiling

[icy drift]

this isn't a "resistance" this is simply a way to dodge a technical limitation of videogames

[eternal coyote]

but all doesnt apply on the global damage reduction 🤣

[icy drift]

man

idk

i feel like i'm talking to a brick wall ngl

[sinful laurel]

Ok this is getting asinine

[surreal verge]

So what happens when you give the 10k damage a 20% more boost?

12k right?

Throw a marked for death.

0% with 80% dr OR 80% resist with 0% dr, the result is the same.

[icy drift]

^

it's all multipliers

it doesn't matter what they're applying to or in what order

[surreal verge]

100k becomes 20k, then gets 2k from the marked for death.

Same result.

[icy drift]

you're too caught up in the "thematic" of it all

but numerically it's all the same

[surreal verge]

What's the difference?

What does it achieve?

[sinful laurel]

Turn off damage numbers and you will have the exact same behavior between dummy and enemy

[icy drift]

^

[sinful laurel]

All the ways to increase damage are still in effect

[icy drift]

The fact that you didn't even notice until now says a lot about it

[sinful laurel]

In all cases

[icy drift]

because literally the only way to notice is to either compared dummy numbers against monster numbers or your tooltip to monsters

[sinful laurel]

Just...take the L man

It's ok

[surreal verge]

Hah, using tooltip numbers

[icy drift]

I mean there's no L, it's a clear missunderstanding

but they're being stubborn about it

[surreal verge]

Imagine tooltip numbers being accurate

[sinful laurel]

Only cyborgs tooltip is accurate. I mean...have you SEEN it???

[surreal verge]

The damn bastard thinks a 20% ignite chance is worth more than a 100% increase!

[icy drift]

To be fair it legit is, shatter strike is one of the few skills with an accurate tooltip dps

since it's so easy to calculate

(it's not actually accurate becasue of doom and shattered chains but meh)

[sinful laurel]

Ailments fucking everything up

[pastel pebble]

Remove them TBH

[icy drift]

lol

[pastel pebble]

I'm not sure what the concern is

[eternal coyote]

idk man but thats just not what i see. if i deal 10k damage like in your example and get a 50% more damage multiplier i would expect 15k hits just like in your example in 99% of the time but this is not the case at least not from my experience playing instead the damage swings between 12k and 14k and only rarely does 15k+ maybe this is a feeling thing then

[faint cape]

Does SS count the double hit though?

[icy drift]

it is

[icy drift]

yes

[faint cape]

Interesting

[icy drift]

tooltip is for double hit i'm pretty sure

single hit would be half

[surreal verge]

Facts don't care about feelings-
but 10k with a 50% more should be 15k.

If it's actually a 50% more, of course.

[icy drift]

If you're hitting a mob for 10k, and then you get 50% more damage (important that it's more and not increased), you'll now deal 15k to that same mob.

[surreal verge]

I like big numbers just like the next person, but if you want big numbers incrimental games might be better for you.

[pastel pebble]

Run more shred and pen idk

Like what is the bother?

[icy drift]

Wdym, just play SS

i'll post this at every opportunity you can't stop me

[pastel pebble]

Don'r you have some falling boulders to die to?

[icy drift]

😭

why

why do you hurt me so

[gleaming panther]

aren't the boulders hurting you?

[icy drift]

no because i don't enter that god forsaken place

[pastel pebble]

Bro is scared of some minerals

What gets me is the poison damage

[surreal verge]

LOL

[gleaming panther]

we just gotta ask the devs to put in some in all zones then

[icy drift]

https://tenor.com/view/jesuschristmarie-jesus-christ-marie-gif-5863915

[pastel pebble]

I also have like 13% poison res

Running along and run into a fucking titan

Get instantly obliterated

[gleaming panther]

the first sentence made me feel dumb for trying so hard to cap my res, then the rest came and i didn't feel dumb anymore

[surreal verge]

Poison may be the least important res.
But poison never hits, only DoTs.

[pastel pebble]

Yeah

And thank fuck for Sentinel actually havimg access to DoT DR

[gleaming panther]

so you're saying i can free up affixes in gear for more damage?

[pastel pebble]

Don'r get hit

[surreal verge]

Well...

[pastel pebble]

Not getting hit gives you 100% DD bro

DR*

[surreal verge]

You'll die if you touch poison (Armor does not help against poison)

[pastel pebble]

Unless you got sick Sent stuff and that one experimental thing

SENTINEL SUPREMACY

[icy drift]

This is the Spellblade moto

[pastel pebble]

Then why tf are you dying to inanimate objects!

Bro just walk away

Just skidaddle from them minerals

[icy drift]

they hit me with the element of surprise 😭

and i did actually beat it!

i won't say how many tries i needed because that's not important

but i have beaten it on my spellblade without changing anything about the build

i legit got enough practice to consistently dodge the rocks while not hitting

i still die because he always hits me with a sneaky rock while i'm killing the second wall or the little minions

[gleaming panther]

so either way 0dps

[pastel pebble]

LMFAO

SS? More like ZS

[icy drift]

the solution is simply not fighting him

[pastel pebble]

This is me punching up as a Sentinel main

[icy drift]

it do be like that

[gleaming panther]

btw is being able to get experimental affix shards a known* bug?

[pastel pebble]

Ye

[gleaming panther]

aight no need to bother go and make a report then :p

[desert pebble]

what is fastest way to push stability in echos?

[icy drift]

rush the objective while killing stuff that's in the way

and don't waste time inbetween echoes

[desert pebble]

okay ty

[gleaming panther]

does everyone in the party get stability for the mono?

[icy drift]

think so? not sure

[gleaming panther]

so grouping up to farm up stability and share bosses would work to try and find those rare lp boss loot?

[surreal verge]

Well, to gain a boss drop you need to have the stability.. (All party members spend stability)

[faint cape]

Yeah everyone gets stability

[gleaming panther]

f my plans for greatness gone like that... well first i would need friends to party with, which i don't

[surreal verge]

It's efficient time wise, at least.

you earn and spend stability at 4 times the rate basically

[icy drift]

and if only one person needs the drop people can gift it to them

[surreal verge]

Assuming 4 man parties

[faint cape]

Everyone gets the same drops if you run the boss together (different rolls and LP though)

[icy drift]

oh right i keep forgetting that lol

[gleaming panther]

wait wha, don't everyone gets his own stability and for the loot you all need the 800 or w/e breakpoint? so basically the same as solo?

[faint cape]

Yeah, same as solo

[surreal verge]

Yup.

[gleaming panther]

that would work but only if you find 3 guys willing to farm with you for your boss item, i guess there's random stuff you can get along the way you can share too

[faint cape]

The efficiency you do actually get from running in a group is that everything is easier, so you can run faster on a good team

[surreal verge]

Well one might want different drops from the same boss-

[faint cape]

And yeah that

[surreal verge]

Each boss has 4 drops, 2 common and 2 rares.

[gleaming panther]

best thing i can think of is being able to split off, assuming you already have a build that can rush the objective

do objectives get harder by the number of players or are the same

[faint cape]

Number of enemies etc. are the same. Enemy health does not keep pace with number of players, though, in addition to players being able to synergize.

[gleaming panther]

gotcha

[acoustic canyon]

something feels off with hammer throw. i have had a few times where the charactor plays its animation but hammer throw doesnt play. iv also noticed at times when this happens it does no dmg. had the same issue with a couple of bosses in the story. not yet at end game with this build. anyone else have this issue with hammer throw

[desert tree]

I have not noticed anything

[acoustic canyon]

could this be an issue with playing in a party? im currently play with one other person

[desert tree]

I think your party member can sometimes stop your projectiles

I am not sure I always play solo

[native lichen]

Can you have 100% reflected damage?

[native sail]

Reflect does damage after mitigation to my knowledge, you can have over 100% reflected. It does not get further mitigated by enemy defenses, but it's still quite mid.

[native lichen]

in that case it`s not broken 😄

[native sail]

Yeah don't worry, people have tried

[balmy current]

This is correct. You can stack more flat reflect but it's still not great for bosses.

[wide sentinel]

you can afk to 1k arena waves tho on reflect

[open whale]

Hi I have issue when I start game trow steam I have long delay like 5 minits from pressing play and opening game any idea how to fix it ?

[vocal pelican]

Is the 1.0 going into include mundane armor/weapons being able to be used in the cosmetics slots?

[faint cape]

No

[toxic anvil]

That’s not a bad idea lol

[faint cape]

Afaik it's on the radar for an eventual thing, but not a guarantee

[olive forge]

does the game even have other settings options
i cant switch graphics to none from medium
game just crashes

[kind imp]

Sounds like your PC can’t handle the game, or you need to verify game cache

[olive forge]

game is freshly installed, i cant even switch to lower settings

[zealous tusk]

Hello, i wanted to try eq for beastmaster, can I use it to level up? I mean to progress early in campaign?

[coarse parcel]

Is The Keeper Vault quest bugged ? I can't find Keeper Lena to finish the quest in Keeper's Camp.
I'm asking because it has a passive point as reward, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered

[acoustic thicket]

https://youtu.be/FUd-pTSgaSI?si=NLU3Vj4WcEWg20d3

[final sapphire]

Does anyone know how to fix the stuck on loading screen after creating an offline character? It works fine on online mode

[edgy sphinx]

Does attack speed affect the speed of attacks like shield throw?

[desert tree]

It need to match the tag

Attack speed and throwing attack speed will work on shield throw

Melee attack speed won't

[edgy sphinx]

Thanks, I momentarily forgot about the ability tags.

[sonic kraken]

What's the best way to speedrun the campaign on any build during a fresh start? I know that every build has different power at different points but I was mainly wondering if there are some points where I can cut some leveling time. Do you guys have any universal tips/tricks?

[cedar locust]

You might need to re-run the previous quest steps - using the zone transition points not fast travelling via the map - though in case that doesn't work, there are 23 Quests that give Passive point rewards so even missing that one means you can still earn the max of 15!

[cedar locust]

Are you still having this issue?

[faint cape]

My tip is that a lot of quests have bits you can skip

[cedar locust]

Have you tried verifying your game files?

[native lichen]

does higher corription helps with getting better rewards from the monolits? the type of reward i mean.

[cedar locust]

Higher Corruption means higher drop rates and some gear requires certain Corruption levels iirc

[surreal verge]

You mean the nodes that spawn? Yes.

[native lichen]

currently im getting a lot of shards/runes/glifs or gold and dont want them. so i`m curios if higher corruption will help with seeing them less

[surreal verge]

In theory, yes.

But RNG is RNG

ALso the further away you go from the center, the higher the chance of rarer nodes.

[coarse parcel]

I have a unique on the ground that I can;t pick up cos the game won;t show it to me .. and I killed a couple mobs up ahead and I can see their items .. anybody have any idea what this bug is about ?

[toxic echo]

could have filtered out the base type of the unique on accident...try holding x/alt x to cycle your filter. can also try z/alt z for tooltips, but that doesnt sound like the issue specifically.

[coarse parcel]

I've read about and tried to alt+z and I usually hit x to check for properties on the items that my filter hides just incase of usefull properties, but that doesn;t seem to be the case

it's just for that specific area only

a bug of sorts idk

[quartz locust]

hm got a crafting specific question. is there a way to get experimental affixes on unique items? and when its possible how do i get em on the item

[toxic echo]

unique specifically, no those affixes cannot be changed

but you can get them on legendary items, using the normal slam and pray it picks the right affixes in temporal.

[quartz locust]

"normal slam" ?

[toxic echo]

just the temporal sanctum dungeon legendary making slam. suppose its not really normal, since its the only one.

[quartz locust]

ah! ok

[cedar locust]

Make sure your keybindings are set to X and Alt+Z.

Did you happen to screenshot the area? If there's a point in game where items are consistently dropping below the map, we should let the team know!

[coarse parcel]

I have the keybinds on Alt+C and X respectively and unfortunately no I haven't taken a screenshot. All I can tell you is that it's in chapter 5 - Imperial Era -> somewhere in the dunes area, probably the Wraith Dunes or something, before the fight with the scorpion boss

[cedar locust]

I'll pass that info to the team and see if I can find the spot too - if you do run into it again, please grab a screenshot and let me know!

[coarse parcel]

It was almost at the beggining of the zone, like SW or somewhere

[cedar locust]

Thank you!

[outer blade]

Hi everyone, i am going to be in vacation soon and i will be playing LE in my free time
i have a question

Is this node working when SMITE is casted from Warpath ?
Does it heal/replenish mana if SMITE is casted from another spell like warpath

[desert tree]

Nope

[outer blade]

Alright

Thank you

[final sapphire]

Yep I did, this happened on a fresh install on windows and Linux with proton

[cedar locust]

Is this for all Offline characters, existing and new?

[coarse parcel]

Bug happened again .. took a screenshot this time

[pastel pebble]

What's happening?

[coarse parcel]

An item bug wherein some items aren't displaying on the floor even after disabling loot-filter

[cedar locust]

This is with toggling the loot filter and toggling the tooltips for ground items?

[sinful laurel]

Press alt Z

[lunar holly]

are you two even looking at the screenshot lol ?

[coarse parcel]

Well I pressed alt+C 2 times to enable/disable that option and disable the loot-filter .. it's all in the screenshot

[sinful laurel]

Nope! 🙂

[coarse parcel]

the blue item above is some random item from a different area

[sinful laurel]

Mobile does weird things when I open the image big lol

[cedar locust]

What about 'X'?

There are two options that bring up tool tips

[coarse parcel]

X is for disabling my loot-filter

[cedar locust]

What am I missing? It's been a long day 😅

Edit: Oh the chat logs...

[coarse parcel]

I can take as many screenshots from this area as I haven't left yet :))

[cedar locust]

What about turning off the filter without using the shortcut?

[coarse parcel]

there are 2 blues on my position and like 4 above

I'll try

these are the items from above btw

[cedar locust]

What happens if you pick them up? Do any new item tags appear?

Sometimes the tags are not above the item on the floor

[coarse parcel]

Well at least it' not a unique >.<

Prob is it could be in the future sadly

[cedar locust]

This is super weird - like only once in my whole time here have I run into an issue where items dropped below the terrain and couldn't be picked up no matter what. This is happening multiple times in one day to your game...

Though I can see the items there, we just can't get the tooltips to appear...

[coarse parcel]

So I take it this is not a regular happenstance ?

[cedar locust]

With the toggle options not working? Nope 🤔

How many actions have you rebound?

[coarse parcel]

Citadel Sewers - btw is the place if anyone is interested

[toxic echo]

i am currently running thru the same area, and not having any issues with loot being thru the ground

[coarse parcel]

ahh .. alt + Z into alt + C afaik cos Alt + Z triggers GForce Experience

[cedar locust]

See I swapped GFE to Alt+N for the same reason - was going to suggest restore the defaults and trying again

[coarse parcel]

I haven't used Geforce Exp in ages, it's just there in the background mostly for me

[cedar locust]

Do you mind submitting an in game bug report for me explaining the issue, try get the bugged items and some non bugged items on the screen for the screenshot and make sure the option to send in your player.log files is checked too

I can link that report to mine then

[coarse parcel]

not many games have Alt + Z as a shortcut

How do I do that ?

is it like an ingame ticket like in MMO's ?

[cedar locust]

This was the first game I played that did, though I use GFE to grab video's of bugs if I need to

Hit ESC and there should be a Report Bug button below the menu

[toxic echo]

have you tried just not having a loot filter? see if the filter is buggin out, or if it the actual items

[cedar locust]

We've tried Alt+C (remapped alt+z), X and turning off the filter manually so far

[coarse parcel]

Yes, I disabled my loot_filter alltogether and same thing

[cedar locust]

Let me know when you've sent that report and what your Account name is!

[coarse parcel]

Sure .. I'm prepping 2 scrnshots

Are these ok so far ?

they clearly showcase that I turned off my loot_filter and turned ON my item tooltip

[cedar locust]

The in game bug report will take it's own screenshot of whatever is on the screen when you hit submit!

[coarse parcel]

Ok I submitted

Need my Steam ID or ?

I dm'd you @cedar locust

[mild valley]

Hi guys my friend has hand-held and have problems with UI, many actions are not avaiable. Do u have hand-held consoles on ur list to improve interface? Since its getting more popular it may be good marketing for you also 😉

[native lichen]

does someone else have the stash tab bug? i assume its a bug. categories merging together like this. I didn`t make the second general category

[swift star]

To go with the loot filter toggleing discussion above... my X isn't behaving as a toggle... I have to hold X for the filter to be disabled, and when I release X it goes back to applying the filter. Is there a way to change this behavior so that pressing and releasing it disables my loot filter, then pressing a nd releasing it again re-enables my loot filter?

[native sail]

That's the default behavior

I don't know if you can change it

[misty helm]

this happens to me everytime that i add or re-label a header category. i feel like devs have a decent idea of it, but more reports in-game or just in bug forum never hurts.
relogging cleans it up. i just finish all the renaming that causes it, then worry about sorting tabs after i logout and back in.

[warm lodge]

what's an easy to play endgame class/build?

[sinful laurel]

Acolyte, rogue, primalist, sentinel and mage.

All good classes to play

[toxic anvil]

lmao

man listed everything 🤣

literally most autobombers

[viscid spruce]

Bruh again... have to click Play through Steam like 5-10 times before game actually opens.. this needs to be fixed before launch.

[pastel pebble]

It's not loadimg when you click on Steam's play button?

[viscid spruce]

#❔┃ask-the-community message : My Steam will change my status to "Last Epoch", it shows the LE splash screen, that goes away, few seconds pass, then Steam just goes back to "Online"

[sinful laurel]

Verify integrity of your steam game files.

[viscid spruce]

Have, multiple times.

The game eventually decides to open anywhere between 3-10 tries to load it, and works 100% fine once it does.

[sinful laurel]

Not sure. Weird. Can try a clean reinstall including deleting any files in users/user/appdata/local

That has never happened to me though

[viscid spruce]

It would be nice to know from a dev or someone if there's some kind of log file I can provide that would give them more information.

[misty helm]

i think there was last i looked, problem for me is that unity is the problem in that situation and it doesn't log it for me

i don't know if this is what you are experiencing, but for me unity half-starts then crashes. i normally have to close all other tasks and restart steam to have a chance fornit to work

tried admin mode and a bunch like that, with no success, so i feel your pain.

@viscid spruce lemme know if you find a better workaround or whats causing it. i am never a fan of turning it off+on as a copout

[sand pine]

So, I've asked in the live stream before a couple of times, but never get a response (I know I'm not owed one). Maybe y'all have seen info on this: Are they doing anything about comparing each ring slot to an item? Aaron from ARPG had said at one time it was active, but then disabled early on (I guess due to bug). Hopefully they have a fix for that soon, but it's been like a year w/ not being able to so far, so who knows.

[faint cape]

Uh I think I might have seen them say that was making it into 1.0. But not sure, things can change

[edgy sphinx]

Is there a database I can go to and peruse unique items?

[cinder fossil]

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

[desert pebble]

hey good morning everyone

i have couple newbie questions

Shade of orobyss i have been killing was always poison dmg but this time it was lightning infused, whats the pattern here?

Is it worth to LP craft a unique whi

which has low unique rolls?

and why i got bonus +10 corruption when i killed shade on another mono?

[cinder fossil]

1. orobyss has several different moves and randomly chooses a few of them to use each time you fight him

2. depends on the unique

3. having higher corruption in a monolith gives you bonus corruption from orobyss in other monoliths as a catch-up mechanic

[fallen tangle]

Can you farm Yulia's path from normal mono since mono level is 90 and required level is 79? Heorot kicks my butt too much in empowered for me to kill him at even lower corruption

[misty helm]

i believe the 'rare' ones are empowered only. two common and two rare per mono boss. someone might have to fact check me though

[desert tree]

You can get it from normal heoroth

But your chance are very low

Increase rarity from echoes work on it too

[desert pebble]

I see

the unique in the reference is that ring from shade that gives doom and movement speed

Is affixes unique item will get random as well?

[icy drift]

Affixes on that ring are always the same, you can craft the ring without good rolls but it won't be the best obviously since your doom application might be inconsistent.

[desert pebble]

I meant the LP modifiers

[icy drift]

Sorry not sure I understand

You choose what lp modifiers you wanna put on the item

[desert pebble]

oh really, thats nice

[icy drift]

How it works is that you put the unique in with an exalted item, and it'll take as many affixes as the unique has lp from the exalted item and put them on the unique

It selects the affixes from the exalted at random though

[desert pebble]

it'll take as many affixes as the unique has lp from the exalted item you choose those affixes right?

oh yeah

so you have a chance to brick it

[icy drift]

Yeah depending on the item and what the exalted has on it

If you really need 1 mod from the exalt to transfer then you're just leaving it to rngesus at 1lp, but if you're fine with any of the 4 affixes on the exalted then you're chilling

And at 4 lp the entire exalted item gets transfered so there's 0 rng

[desert pebble]

damn

some item's lp2 drop is really rare, you have a chance even bricking that one he

[icy drift]

Yup

I've bricked a 2lp 90 LPL item, it happens

You can't get too attached to them

[desert pebble]

what 90 lpl means

[icy drift]

Legendary potential level, it's how hard it is to get lp on an item

It goes up to 120

It's invisible in-game but you can look it up

[desert pebble]

how can i see it

[icy drift]

Look it up on last epoch tools

Search for the unique item you're wondering about and it'll say at the bottom

You can even see the odds for certain lp

[desert pebble]

is 65 okayish?

[icy drift]

65 is decently high

[desert pebble]

okay thx

@icy drift is this a coincidence almost all my uniques drops from shade?

or is this a VK thing

[icy drift]

Vk thing

Siphons, shattered chains, omnis and apathys maw are shade specific drops

[desert pebble]

seems the build i have following atm dont use omni, but looks like a good amulet ngl

[icy drift]

It can be very good, but some builds have better items to use that synergize better

[desert pebble]

yeah, tried to search up warpath builds in last epoch tools but seems there is billions of them

[zealous tusk]

So ive got a very slow connection, any solution for this one? 😢

[icy drift]

Not really sadly, try to restart your system and launch it again

At 1.0 in February you won't need to authenticate at all

So you won't need any internet connection whatsoever, but for now you still need to log in before being able to go offline

[zealous tusk]

Ahhhh no LE for the day 😢

[icy drift]

@cedar locust nothing to be done here except retrying right?

[cedar locust]

Yeah, if you can get through the load and log-in, you'll be good to go, so just got to keep trying and fingers crossed you get a fast enough connection to log-in! 🤞

[analog wadi]

have you tried force reststarting steam? i know you have bad internet connectin but many have found solution doing that

[analog wadi]

why isnt poison res worth it?

[toxic echo]

poison dmg is only taken as dots...either as poison aoe's on the ground, or the actual ailment. there is no hit poison dmg. and the aoe's on the ground are pretty easy to just, not be in. so if there was one res you didnt need to max, it would be that one.

[native sail]

Yup. Plus any boss that deals poison DoT without applying the ailment is straight up a "don't get hit" situation because their base damage is so fucking high for that you will not survive it

[analog wadi]

doesnt pos res apply to DoTs though?

[surreal verge]

It does.

But the odds are you're already dead.

(poison shreds poison res)

Poison res stops poison, which ONLY comes as a DoT

[analog wadi]

so i get hit hard from 3 pos spires when i dont see them come down with full res. i almost die but i dont. would i die with half the res?

[toxic echo]

likely

[analog wadi]

lol this game! gotta get guud

[wide sentinel]

on higher content nothing gonna save you from psn spires

[analog wadi]

idk i am on 300c but yea any higher and id die

[wide sentinel]

main issue is that armor doesnt apply to it, sooo you lose important source of damage reduction

couple damage modifiers and it becomes a one shot

[analog wadi]

interesting

you think armor will ever apply to it?

[wide sentinel]

armor does not apply to dots

[sinful laurel]

It can

In a couple specific ways

But normally it doesnt that's true

[surreal verge]

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

Considering this unique affix exists...

[analog wadi]

oh yea so they are havng special affixes for it the experimental too

[finite canopy]

what's the difference between "Melee critical strike chance" and "critical strike chance"?
is one better than the other??

[analog wadi]

usually melee crit chance has more to it

in affixes

and usually flat

[cedar locust]

Critical Strike chance applies to all attack types, Melee critical chance applies to Melee only though can provide more of a boost, so is useful if you're a melee only build

[finite canopy]

so throwing skill won't e.g. shadow dagger won't be affected by the "melee crit strike chance" right?

[analog wadi]

nope thats throwing crit chance which can be seen on the build planner but not the char screen in game

[lunar holly]

shadow daggers is both melee and throwing

but it always crits anyway ..

[cedar locust]

The skill scaling tags let you know what affects them 🙂

[finite canopy]

okay, thanks man

[cedar locust]

There's the tags for Shadow Daggers

[hollow sierra]

what does this mean

[cedar locust]

If you equip an item with Weavers Will points, as you kill mobs it will level up and gain upgrades. This means a new affix has been added, if you check the tooltip you should be able to see it in red at the top!

[hollow sierra]

ohhhhh. so this...

[cedar locust]

Yep!

This Maxroll page explains Weavers Will items and how they work! https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/resources/weavers-will-uniques

[hollow sierra]

i'll look into it, though i am curious how the game ramps up

right now i'm at "the oracle's aid" quest

it seems like i'm getting close to the endgame, and i just wanted to know how endgame works

is it closer to neph rifts from d3? or maps from PoE?

(edited to d3, i haven't played d4)

[cedar locust]

So I can't compare it to other ARPGs, though the endgame in LE comprises of the Monoliths and Empowered Monoliths in the End of Time, Dungeons and the Arena!

The campaign isn't complete yet, there are 3 more chapters to be added in future updates and Cycles will be added in 1.0!

[hollow sierra]

how do the monoliths work then

[desert tree]

Very similar to Poe maps

[hollow sierra]

i see i see... do enemies "drop" stuff to let you go into the monoliths?

[surreal verge]

Nope

[hollow sierra]

and if they're similar to maps, can they be juiced

(adding more stuff onto it for more loot)

[foggy hearth]

you can always choose between at least 2, each having a different modifier and reward

[desert tree]

You can't craft echoes, but you choose which one you run, they add quantity and rarity and a mod on the mob for a certain number of echoes after that

[hollow sierra]

that sounds neat.

is that as much modification as you can do to them?

[desert tree]

Right now yes

[hollow sierra]

darn

[hollow sierra]

is there ways to make whites yellows? same with blues to yellows

[surreal verge]

Just add affixes to them.

[toxic anvil]

Or use that one glyph

[surreal verge]

(ALl items have 4 slots, and rarity is determined by amount of affixes)

[hollow sierra]

oh really

hmm

that makes basetype stuff easy

[desert tree]

But white and blue will have very little fp

[surreal verge]

Yeah as a cost, lower spawned rarity=lower Starting FP

[hollow sierra]

mmmmmm i like that tradeoff

what is a good FP? a lot of the stuff i see currently is like 25 FP on average

[sinful laurel]

Endgame you will see exalteds with upwards of 50, but that's relatively rare. Most have high 30s or in the 40s

[hollow sierra]

ok that sounds good to me

is rune of removal vs glyph of chaos a normal thought to have

like, are there cases where removal is better than chaos, or chaos is better than removal

[surreal verge]

Yup

Cause you can snipe off an exalted affix with removal and it goes poof

No more exalted.

[hollow sierra]

god... yeah

[surreal verge]

(Also unlike shattering runes removals gives back exact shard amounts)

[hollow sierra]

wait could you use removals on a high forging power basetype (yellow) and craft it anew like that?

or does removal use forging power

it DOES...

darn

[sweet thistle]

Hello, I've never played the game, it's to know how the season system works, everything is reset like on Diablo 3 at the end of each season? And when the game is officially released, everything is reset for players who have played it before?

[native sail]

Seasonal system will be similar to Diablo 3, not exactly the same though.
No people who play now will not lose their progress at 1.0, all your stuff will just be sent to the standard (non-seasonal) realm

[sweet thistle]

👍 thx

[mellow mist]

Still getting a feeling for the game's nuance (only been playing for a couple days) Running runemaster and got this. Any general thoughts if good?

[sinful laurel]

It all depends on how it rolls the weavers affixes

It can be amazing, or utter garbage

[icy drift]

@desert tree Think fissure will retain its cd. So they'd need to be 0.5s apart

[mellow mist]

lol thanks. I still dont understand the weaver's will. I assume its just RNG while killing enemies just as the text says?

[sinful laurel]

Yup!

[icy drift]

The only way to bypass a cd is to proc the skill, but since you're just proccing smite and the smites are casting fissure normally it's the same as you just casting smite really fast

[sinful laurel]

Can pull any affix from the pool and has a chance to add a new or upgrade existing

[mellow mist]

good deal. I'll keep my fingers crossed

[desert tree]

Thats my guess, but maybe I can procc 2 Smites at the same time and get 2 Fissures since the CD is up

[icy drift]

Mmm that'd be a bug if so lol

Worth testing maybe

But for sure a bug if it works

I also kinda doubt it'd work tbh

[desert tree]

Yeah does not

[icy drift]

Yup

[desert tree]

I wonder how I can scale Fissure

And sustain the mana cost

[faint cape]

I think fissue's biggest issue is its low damage effectiveness

[balmy current]

It won't, or it's a bug, as you say.

[desert tree]

Yeah it didnt

[wooden marsh]

What are experimental items used for?

Do they count as a sealed affix or can you have them on top

[desert tree]

They are almost like regular affixes

You can not upgrade the experimental affixes

But you can seal them with 100% chance of success a

And keep on crafting

[faint cape]

And before they are sealed, a critical success can land on them and up their tier (still max 5 like normal). Not reliable at all, but possible.

[dense dirge]

where do you target farm idols? (specifically the smite on hammer idol)

[faint cape]

Play as a sentinel and target idol echoes. You can get the adorned idol blessing from the first monolith as well to help (empowered monolith blessing is better)

[dense dirge]

could you elaborate on the target idol echoes part? 1 week noob here

[desert tree]

Once you reach the Monoliths of Fate, you can fight bosses in differents timelines. They reward you with Blessings (buff/extra stats). One of thoses is Increased chance to get Adorned Idols (the type you want for Smite on throwing hits)

[dense dirge]

thank you, just hit monoliths, good timing

[desert tree]

It is on Fall of the Outcast, the first one

[dense dirge]

does the stability bonus matter?

[icy drift]

Yes but don't seek to max it out, just kill stuff on the way to the objective

[faint cape]

Yep, and for targeting idol echoes, you'll notice some of the echoes have a little idol icon with an idol-ish teal color. Those drop a pile of idols on completion.

[hollow sierra]

what defensive breakpoints am i looking for as i go through monoliths?

i've just arrived at that point

[pastel pebble]

You wanna start hitting your resistances to get them capped out. Depending on the build you'll want to hit 1.5k-2k Health before hitting Empowered and try to keep raising that as you progress as important defensive layers like Endurance are tied to your health

Outside of those two you'll want to aim for things like upping your primary defenses be it armor, dodge, or whatever else. Things like Damage Reduction can go very far so keep an eye out for where you can slot that in

[desert tree]

You want to start looking for a way to mitigate crit, either crit avoidance or less bonus dmg
And start getting endurance too, cap at 60

[hollow sierra]

are there any sorts of "common" things to put on gear for specific slots or do you just grab affixes where you can

i know there are like... restrictions on what affixes you can put on certain things, but idk how deep it goes

[pastel pebble]

Finding things like Hybrid Health is always really nice. T6/7 Health% is really nice on chest and helmets. Certain ring/amulet/gloves/boot bases can help round out your resistances as well as your idols. Crit avoid/reduced may not seem like an important thing rn but it saves you a lot dowj the line

Perry's reliable

[hollow sierra]

👍

[desert tree]

This is still pretty accurate

[fading girder]

if i have a dragonsong with 2 lp and wanna make use of those 2lp for easier lvling.. will the lvl req go up?

[desert tree]

No

[fading girder]

not in any situation? like if the exalted bow i use it with is lvl 70?

[desert tree]

Lvl req does not change

[fading girder]

ok ty

[desert tree]

It used too

But it doesn't anymore

So you can make nice lvl gear

[fading girder]

sweet!

[crude jewel]

i doubt that helm of the scurry is rare drop chance if i get SO MUCH other helms that are very rare already and after 8 days of grind still no scurry

[desert tree]

Not sure I understand

[fading girder]

it is pretty rare. im at the same rate as you.. and still havent gotten it. but what is question?

[crude jewel]

on LEtools it says "rare"

i think its not rare its "very rare"

there is not rly a question, maybe the questions "do you agree"

^^

[desert tree]

It has 70% reroll chance making it rare

[crude jewel]

what does that mean?

never saw that

i mean that

what means reroll chance?

[unreal hinge]

does the spell fire damage of herkirs vessel stack?

[desert tree]

Can you post the item?

[fading girder]

"random drop" means getting it out of the blue as unique. but there are many items in this tier. so the loot table for getting a specific item in "rare" table is up to RNG

[crude jewel]

true but i mean of an unique helm or set helm echo

[fading girder]

yeah im just saying the "drop chance " and the target farm is seperate

[crude jewel]

that means reroll chance?

[desert tree]

There are 15 global drop unique helmet in the pool. Every time the game generate an unique helmet you have 1/15 to get Scurry. But then since it has 70%reroll chance, the game will reroll the helmet and you have 70% chance to not get scurry but something else

[crude jewel]

aahhh ok

where did you find that reroll-table?

[desert tree]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/uniques

[crude jewel]

because i got prismatic gaze that is also rare, 3 times so far

[desert tree]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/uniquesim

Tunklab is the second website you should know about

[desert tree]

Rng being rng

[crude jewel]

i see kk ^^

ty didnt know about tunklab

[fading girder]

what are the odds of getting wrongwarp from a rune of asc?

[crude jewel]

with the reroll chance now i understand it better

[fading girder]

yeah thanks for explaining reroll chance! wasnt sure on that part

[crude jewel]

well back to the grind thanks <3... i will get it 100% today

[desert tree]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ascsim

[fading girder]

3.6%! dang

[desert tree]

It's a very powerful wand

[bronze ocean]

FYI: item reroll % is available in LE Tools as well, it's here: https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/unique

[crude jewel]

i see thanks!

[hollow sierra]

this is my current build as i am going into monoliths. from what i hear i should be planning to max my resistances, increase my health, and then get endurance as well. which should come first? i'll try and get good basetypes to craft on, as if i'm making gear for going into maps in poe

[surreal verge]

Oh jesus that health.
Hit 1.2-1.3k health and keep your resists at 50-60, and cap endu if you can since the cap's 60% (Do not build threshold)

Health and resist are equally important, endu is behind that.

[hollow sierra]

it was lower earlier on

prefixes are usually offense while suffix is usually defense right?

[surreal verge]

Yes.

If you passed the lagon fight with less than 1k hp, grats! YOu do not have a skill issue and can dodge him

[hollow sierra]

i died my first time but otherwise yeah

[surreal verge]

A LOT of people get walled by him so0-

[hollow sierra]

i've played poe, most recent time i did i managed to get full atlas completion

so i think i've minimized some skill issues

[surreal verge]

[dusty lodge]

Hey folks, had a question

Do these percentages not go beyond 999%?

Or is it just a visual rounding issue?

[surreal verge]

I'm pretty sure I've seen 4 digits, so you might been trolled by maths.

[dusty lodge]

ahh fair enough, thanks!

[hollow sierra]

should i keep the bee gloves

cause it's funny to have them... but i think i've outgrown them

[cedar locust]

As much as the community loves the Bee items, they are hard to build around and are essentially a Meme build only when you have them all. You should use what's best for your actual build 😊

[hollow sierra]

i used the bee gloves ever since i got them at like level 5

it's a shame to see them go but

i outscale them now..

okay, left or right? i'm currently using right but i feel like i could do some good stuff with left

[desert tree]

Perfect time to show off my 4lp Bee Gloves

[hollow sierra]

WOAH

nice nice

also i have been CRAFTING and i am getting in the swing of it

it feels really good

uppin the resists, getting some stuff

im ballin

also now that i play the monoliths they remind me of delve from poe

[haughty arrow]

does this count for ignite, too? or any kind of dot for that matter?

[balmy current]

Yes

[haughty arrow]

thanks!

adding to that. does it make sense to invest in fire dmg on hit and ignite (dot), or would one rather focus on one kind of dmg? a lot of skill seem to do both of these

[icy drift]

Focusing on one is usually the way to go

[haughty arrow]

skills* or nodes

[icy drift]

Since dot damage isn't based on the hit that applied it in this game

[haughty arrow]

mhm, ok. but +%fire dmg or +%ele dmg works for both of them, right?

[balmy current]

Yes

[minor iron]

Hey everyone, could you share a piece of advice please? So I recently bought the game and lvld with the maxroll void knight guide (orb + smite with buffs), beat Lagon yesterday (barely xd) to complete the 3rd monolith. I was wondering if there is a good and "easy" evolution of this build. I want to use it for farming for items materials etc. because at this point I realize I don't enjoy the gameplay a lot and bossing with it is particularly hard, not even sure Id be able to beath 4th monolith boss or get to empowered generally unless I change something or get better items. (Copy-posting from sentinel chat)

Also is there any way to target farm staffs? Can’t find a single one to upgrade to lvl 70 one. Only seen echoes for sceptres

[icy drift]

You mean exalted ones?

[ember stratus]

Also is there any way to target farm staffs? Can’t find a single one to upgrade to lvl 70 one. Only seen echoes for sceptres
@minor iron the scepter unique monolith node also drops staves I believe

[acoustic thicket]

I have a problem:
I want to reassign the keys, mainly ability 1 to right click and ability 5 to Q (it needs to be in order because of Immutable Order passive). I can change ability 5 to Q, but when I try to change ability 1 to right click, it says i can't do that because it's already assigned to something else...but i've deleted right click from ability 5. Any tips on how to fix it?

[native sail]

You can't rebind right click

[wide sentinel]

also im confused why are you including right click, immutable order takes first 3 skills on your skill bar, right click skill will never be there, just put the right abilities in first 3 slots

it doesnt depend on your keybinding

[lunar holly]

I imagine they want to change the leftmost slot to right click and the right click slot to .. something else

[wide sentinel]

well they said for immutable order

its runic invocation passive

but it has nothing to do with either right or left click

[lunar holly]

immutable order takes the first three slots, they want the first of those three slots to be right click

it's a bit mindfucking 😅

[wide sentinel]

yaa

not happening

[acoustic thicket]

yep

ability 1 (right click) would be runic invocation) and ability 5 (Q) would be frost claw

spamming frost claw on a ~7 yo deathadder using rmb isnt very comfortable lol

[acoustic thicket]

well i can remove it

just cant add it back manually

[native sail]

Yeah, it's kinda buggy

[wide sentinel]

so you want to put RI on right click and FC on your Q?

[acoustic thicket]

yeah, i wanted to see if it's better to spam Q rather than RMB since it gets kinda uncomfortable after running echos for longer periods of time

i've chosen the worst possible background but

runic invocation is skipped since it doesnt have an elemental tag and i have the flame ward converted to frost, so its cold fire cold

[native sail]

Move Runic to RMB, swap Flame Rush and Flame Ward, move Frost Claw to Q, problem solved.

[acoustic thicket]

yeah i thought about that

but i like my traversal skill on E and buff on W

but since you cant rebind rmb i will just try to endure rmb spam lmao

maybe they'll change that in 1.0

doubt tho

unless i change ability 2 to E and ability 3 to W

but its just too much of chaos i think

when keeping track of the cooldowns and when playing other builds

[wide sentinel]

just do tat

its much easier

or dont convert flame ward to cold and conver dash into cold instead

[sterile bane]

Who will still be playing LE after tomorrow?

[edgy sphinx]

What happens tomorrow? O_o

[fierce ibex]

the end of the world

[sterile widget]

4th anniversary of the death of Bob Hawke, beer-drinking Prime Minister of the people. Here in AU we commemorate this event by giving something up for the rest of our life.

Goodbye, Last Epoch...so long

[zealous tusk]

Why is it I cant see the affix shard of this one? And when I upgrade it, it says 715.

[desert tree]

Bug

[sterile widget]

In the industry I believe it is referred to as a bug, but between you and me, I've always preferred the term "unintended interruption in usefulness"

[zealous tusk]

Do they drop in exalted items?

[sterile widget]

Bugs?

No they crawl on the ground

The affix does though

[fierce ibex]

lucky you. mine crawl on t he walls

perks of living in a spider breeding ground

[surreal verge]

Yeah'

[analog wadi]

do you get inherent attack speed wielding two weapons? it doesnt seem like it

[faint cape]

No

1h weapons are generally faster than 2h though

[native sail]

iirc they just average the speed of dual wielding

[analog wadi]

so 1.16 plus 1.2 is 1.18. hey i can do math!

[icy drift]

uhhh

that math isn't mathing boss

[analog wadi]

i cant do math

[icy drift]

your as will be 1.18

but it's not 1.16 + 1.2 lol

halfway there though, you get a pass

[native sail]

Just missed the last step

[analog wadi]

[naive nimbus]

Y'all thing we might get a chance to save Alric in some timey wimey way?

[wooden marsh]

Are there any specific corruption breakpoints that actually matter past 250

[faint cape]

200 is the last actual threshold for anything

Beyond that, it's just as high as you can go without slowing down too much

[hollow sierra]

what stats do i want on my main weapon for a bleed build?

since i'm melee i'm thinking attack speed, increased dot...

probably minion dot as well since i'm using a bunch of minions

chance to bleed...

ok so three of those are a prefix and i'll need to sort out the suffixes

oh wait minion chance to bleed is a helmet mod HRRM this is getting confusing

hrrrrnnnngg i think chance to bleed on hit based on the other stuff i'm seeing would be a suffix? since other chance to x on hit is suffix slot

[native sail]

I'd say melee attack speed, increased DoT/phys, chance to bleed. Last suffix is kinda whatever seems to work.

[hollow sierra]

comparatively, which does better?

i think right is better in terms of raw increased dot and the +chance to bleed,

but all the mods on left are useable

[balmy current]

They add all affixes (& damage implicits) & average the AS implicit.

[sterile bane]

@delicate dust big LEGO fan??

[delicate dust]

Me personally? Not the biggest to be honest sorry. Muffin, currently hosting the Dev Stream - absolutely!

[sterile bane]

ops. i see the big LEGOs in the background. those are massive builds

[delicate dust]

Haha yea. If there's anything you want to know, I can relay to Muffin to talk about it, I'm sure he'd be happy to discuss his Lego adventures!

[sterile bane]

thanks. no i just live in orlando so i always go to the lego store in disney. i have all the disney castles

[sterile bane]

Were there spoilers today??

[snow bay]

Good afternoon. Help me please. I don’t see enemies, I’m playing as a necromancer, the skeletons themselves kill someone. I created a new hero, everything is displayed there, I go back to my 51 and they are not displayed there again.

[arctic rock]

This is the third time i repeat this quest right before finishing i am transferred to another place and i cant move, restarted the game and lost my armor, have anyone faced this bug, any ide how to fix that?

[safe harness]

What is the quest?

[arctic rock]

the lance of heorot

enter the tomb of morditas

[ancient wedge]

does any1 know why i cant talk to npcs or use my stash? in like any town

[desert tree]

Try verifying your files

Same thing for you @ancient wedge

[ancient wedge]

@desert treethx it worked

[desert tree]

Thats step 1.
Every time you encounter a problem, try that.
If it persists we can try to llok for smth else

[sterile bane]

were there any spoilers or teasers on the dev stream?

[faint cape]

Yeah, I think there always are, no?

[sterile bane]

well there was a different dev that streamed so i dont know if they were allowed to release or if it was just talk

[faint cape]

Yeah, Kain controls the spoilers. And sometimes Judd does whatever he wants, too.

[pastel pebble]

So Kain and Judd are who we gotta bribe

[sterile bane]

but we still dont know if there were spoilers yesterday??

[pastel pebble]

Why do we need them yesterday when we can bribe some today?

[sterile bane]

because im an ethical person

[pastel pebble]

I'm not doing anythinf wrong by donating large sums of specific items to the team

[sterile bane]

im sorry i have a neurological problem where i dont understand sarcasm. are you being sarcastic?

[sinful laurel]

Is that real or are you being sarcastic?

[pastel pebble]

This might be the most autistic server I've ever been in. IDFK what it is with this genre but its like bait for autistic people

[sterile bane]

im being real. i have a very hard time understanding sarcasm. im working with a threapist to get better but its still hard. i talked to shoeless about it as well.

[pastel pebble]

Autistic not in a derogatory use but in like a literal sense of it being autistic

[sterile bane]

its stimulating

the variety is enough to where it stimulates us to a good point but doesnt overwhelm us, well to me

[pastel pebble]

Bro it is lmfao, it hits a nice level too wjere its not a confusing amount going on too

[sterile bane]

poe is too stimulating

[pastel pebble]

I feel that at times, like just on a plain visual level

[sterile bane]

yep

so yea when i ask a question and i get a sarcastic or troll response i just ask it again or ask someone else because i dont know how to respond

[edgy sphinx]

Responding with sarcasm or clever wit is appropriate sometimes. When you get trolls, that is. Or just guilt trip them, with the intent to make them feel like an ass for trolling.

[native sail]

There were some mild ones, nothing too big. Mostly QOL stuff via Judd.

[pastel pebble]

I don't think anyone was even trolling in this convo

[native sail]

One of my favorite pastimes is mocking shit stirrers.

[lofty inlet]

anything in the upcoming 1.0 that spoils some sort of solutions for 'player retention' ?
