[desert tree]

Follow the campaign, you will be asked at some point

[icy drift]

It's around level 20 (usually before)

[pearl sinew]

thx!

btw, it seems that despeccing skills (removing points and using them in other skills) is free of charge right

without penalty

[zealous tusk]

Is it hard to play runemaster in controller? Like you have to place the wall etc etc

[desert tree]

There is a minimum skill lvl, for exemple if you are lvl 10 Fireball is at minimum lvl 2 or 3, so if you despec some points in it below 3, you will have another to spend straight away

[sterile pasture]

Started doing a detonating arrow build - quite frequently I can't hit mobs as shown in the video. This happens at range as well, and only with the detonating arrow skill. I think it is a hit box issue - some enemies have this issue consistently while others doesn't at all.
Anybody else have experienced this?

[pearl sinew]

what is the shortcut to transfer items (from backpack) to stash fast?

and stash to backpack

[native sail]

Ctrl + right click I think?

[pearl girder]

Ctrl+right click

[desert tree]

Sad new for you, Detonating Arrow is crippled by multiples game breaking bugs

[sterile pasture]

I wasn't using ctrl+right click, and trying it now does not help unfortunately

thank you for the replies tho

[zealous tusk]

Is there an option to turn off auto targeting using controller?

[haughty arrow]

is gambling a thing in this game? and yeah, what am i aiming for?

[native sail]

From the normal gambler, it's terrible. But there is a dungeon (Soulfire Bastion) where the completion reward is actually good gambling, and there you tend to aim for slots with valuable unoques or use it to pseudo-target farm an item.

[haughty arrow]

i think i did soulfire bastion once. had no idea what i do. my finances never recovered (and i hate it, cant buy stash tabs)

[pearl sinew]

btw is there any beginner guide/tisp to read. im just into 3 hour singame

[native sail]

The game has an in game guide for most general mechanics (hit G) but there's a few videos on YouTube that may be able to help with some other questions like crafting or loot filters. I believe Aaron/ActionRPG has videos on both of those, I think Dr3adful has a loot filter one as well?

[pallid wave]

guys hello, i am playing offline my first playthrough i lost the ability to do anything (bug) i was trying to see why opened my inventory and dropped my unique wapon a mace ... rage quit after dying since i couldnt attack and back to the game nothing to be found, do i need to accept it and move on or hope the devs can do anything ?

[desert tree]

That's lightless harbor

[desert tree]

That's for transferring item, not for you

[analog wadi]

its shift+rigt click

[native sail]

Ahh, my bad

[analog wadi]

[pallid wave]

seems like my issues are my own thanks community

[haughty arrow]

i think i ran each only once so far, i still confuse them

the gamling one still ruined lol

ruined me*

[native sail]

Lightless Arbor is gambling with gold on chests. Soulfire Bastion can't ruin you because it doesn't cost you anything, it's gambling with a currency unique to the dungeon on items of specific slots.

[pearl sinew]

is there a easier way to pick up items? then clicking

instead of clicking

[sinful laurel]

No

[pearl sinew]

do you guys gamble?

or should i skip it and avoid it

[desert tree]

Its nice to fill early resist

[amber void]

i usually do that in early game

[pearl sinew]

what is considered early game?

[amber void]

just my definition, but i consider early game is from the beginning to the mastery selection, at that point i think you can get yellow gear with more frequency

[pearl sinew]

is this a bug? or is it a feature

i dont see my self

[native sail]

That is def a bug

[pearl sinew]

Is someone online and playing the game? Could we party, so i can teleport to you?

The reason: i cannot leave the end of time

[pearl girder]

What happens if you press "m"

?

[pearl sinew]

it shows map but i cannot quick travel

[pearl girder]

Do you have any of those nodes unlocked? What happens when you select a different quest?

Have you spoken with Gaspar in the End of Time?

[pearl sinew]

yes i have unlocked some nodes in Ruined Era, but it seems they are locked?

[pearl sinew]

when i speak with gaspar, i get empty textbox

[pearl sinew]

^

[pearl girder]

Is there a time rift right next to him?

[pearl sinew]

no

[pearl girder]

What level are you ?

I'm signing in now

[pearl sinew]

19

whats your name? i will add you to party

[pearl girder]

I'll holler in chat

I'm Edgefel

[pearl sinew]

yes we are in the party

lets try

[pearl girder]

Did you talk to everyone at the End of Time?

[pearl sinew]

yes

[pearl girder]

I'm in the Council Chambers

[pearl sinew]

when i click here

nothing happens

i think my gameplay is just stuck ;c

[pearl girder]

Hmm, sign off and verify your files, maybe restart Steam. You should be OK after that

[pearl sinew]

okidoki!

thanks for your help and time

[pastel pebble]

Do report the bug from the pause menu

[pearl girder]

You bet. GL and have a good one

[pastel pebble]

Afterwards, like said, verify your files

[proven frigate]

hi guys
for the basic monoliths
i just started, lv 59.

should i just finish objectives? or fill up the bonus stability before leaving

[desert tree]

Rush objectives

[proven frigate]

okie ty ty !

[coarse parcel]

can I get a carry for Lagon pls ?

[merry geyser]

am having this issue , when i press create character nothing happens

anyone had this issue?

[low coyote]

What do the blue circles and the aura arond the top left blessing mean?

[sinful laurel]

Blue circles are how much of the max you have. Full circle is max roll

[low coyote]

That can't be right, I've got the worst roll on this one, but it's full (or does that circle represent empty?

[sinful laurel]

I'm honestly not sure what the gold circle thing means lol

[pastel pebble]

Idk, congrats on the min roll maybe?

[sleek fractal]

Yo Epochions, Over the winter break, I'm planning to kick off a hardcore character. It's gonna be my maiden playthrough, and I ain't about that life where bugs just swoop in and one-shot me, you know? What's the consensus on the game's polish? Can I dive into this without worrying about getting wrecked?

[pastel pebble]

Do it offline then

It has an odd bug here and there, IDK if any are run ending though

[sterile bane]

why?

[icy drift]

the golden circle is just because you have it selected

blue is roll

[icy drift]

I would either do it offline or just pretend it's hardcore and disregard bugged deaths

because they can happen

[faint cape]

There's also a separate golden circle that shows mostly behind the blue one that just means it's a grand blessing (from empowered monos)

[sleek fractal]

Thats a good idea. Will do

[sterile widget]

It's empty. The blue semi circles show how good the roll is. The yellow circle is because this is the selected blessing. Other blessing from this timeline are shown in the bottom half of that dialog

[low coyote]

Thank you all!

[pearl sinew]

does someone know how to complete this quests?

im a bit confused

when i click on it in the map

i get pointed to

[desert tree]

End of time, go on the right

But that the monoliths of time

[pearl sinew]

thx! you

found it

[desert tree]

The endgame system, I would not recommend it until you have all your passives and idols

And you are around lvl 40-50

[pearl sinew]

thx!

[stray dirge]

Anyone knows if we are getting also a character creator with 1.0?

[sinful laurel]

No

If it ever happens, it will not be for a long time

[surreal verge]

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

[stray dirge]

Thanks a lot 😀

[south wigeon]

hello guys, can you please recommend a nice and easy build for smoothb MoF sailing , at least all normal MoF, no skill swapping, like to endgame with what I elvel with. low APM if possible please. need to take a break from my melee poe bonezone guy....maybe sth melee in LE?

[pastel pebble]

There isn't skill swapping in LE

Depends on what kind you wanna do

IK Earthquake is pretty straightforward but you do attack in between attacks of it but it's pretty hefty and can clear a group nicely

[desert tree]

Warpath, Earthquake, Judgment, Lightning bug

[shadow bronze]

Picking the game back up after not playing it since last year. Lots has changed.

I've settled on a few builds but can't decide which to actually start on.

Flurry/MS Marksman
Squirrel BM
Some sort of Paladin build (Electrify javelin looked kinda neat? Unsure if strong)

Paladins are usually my fav archetype but it seems many builds are more or less the same (some variation of hammer, though I do love the smite interaction. Not a major fan of Reversal but maybe it's less cumbersome than I think)

Any recommendations on what to try that will give me a fun and smooth experience into endgame? (Which is strong compared to the others, which is particularly weak?)

[desert tree]

Flurry/MS is bugged and is turbo charged.
Squirrel is good but you need the helmet, it can be quite rare
I wouldn't recommend Electrify Javelin, but Hammer/Javelin Bleed is good, Holy Trail too. Judgment with the Aura is strong and straight forward.

[shadow bronze]

I've not seen a guide for Judgement nor Javelin Bleed, do you have one? The others I've seen some variation of on Maxroll.

Hammers I'd like to avoid. They are cool in theme but I'm not a fan of the ramp

I suppose I could be persuaded to try other sentinel specs but not really sure what there is, have only seen a couple FG builds and maybe 2 VK builds

[desert tree]

Javelin Bleed > The Curse on yt
Judgment > Cursedboy on yt
Holy Trail > Dr3adful on yt

But my biggest advice
Try smth by yourself

Respeccing is not punishing at all

[blissful spire]

Hey guys, sorry to bother you, but i don't get clear things on the supporter pack, oftenly when i had to choose a pack like this it say to me "need the game to work" but with LE bundle it didn't say that, sooo is supporter pack including the game or is it a separate things ? (do i need to pay the game and then i got another chance to get them or is it a thing to buy first ?)

[floral mesa]

The support packs do not include the game

[blissful spire]

Thanks for the answer !

[lapis wolf]

I came across a chest in "The Sealed Shrine", but the open animation didn't work and it didn't drop anything. Is this expected?

[rocky kraken]

hi i'm comming back to this game after a while and for some odd reason its kinda being super choppy and taxing, what can I do to increase performance

[soft jay]

what does +1 to Summon Bone Golem mean?

It doesn't seem to meaninfully impact the ability at all

[faint cape]

+X to <skill> gives X passive points you can spend in the skill's spec tree

[soft jay]

oh, huh, neat, i didn't even see that

oh because i don't have it spec'd that's why

ty for informing me lol was really confused

[shadow bronze]

it really feels like some of this game just doesn't want you to play melee lol

[icy drift]

what do you mean?

[surreal verge]

I hope you have a traversal button.

Melee is pretty good in Le

[lone stump]

does anyone know how much hp pots heal? cant find it anywhere

[desert tree]

Hover over your hp pots

It should tell you the formula

It's smth like 50+ 5x lvl

[pearl sinew]

does this bonus works with spells

"hit"

[brave ibex]

Yes it works, "hit" is not limited to attacks in this game

[pearl sinew]

thx you

[faint cape]

On your character sheet. I think the mouseover description is actually wrong.

But I'm not really sure which is right, just assuming the one in your stats is more real

[shadow bronze]

Is there any particular benefit from playing online vs offline?

[desert tree]

Party play, soon trade

[shadow bronze]

1.0 will wipe character list or?

[desert tree]

Nope

You won't be able to compete on the ladder, or play with the person on the cylce

[candid elm]

You'll keep all your characters. There will also be seasonal content, that LE is going to call Cycles, which will have everyone who wants to participate in the Cycle making a new character(s). But you don't have to join in that, if you don't want to.

If you're familiar with PoE, think standard vs league. Similar concept. Or D3's regular vs season.

[shadow bronze]

Are they planning a cycle for 1.0 launch?

[desert tree]

1.0 is the first cycle

[candid elm]

The last announcement said

Beyond 1.0, Eleventh Hour Games will bring substantial new content to Last Epoch every few months in what we call “Cycles”. These releases will contain additions and refinements to many aspects of the game, such as end-game content, skills, unique items, gameplay systems, quality-of-life features, etc.
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/last-epoch-1-0-launches-feb-21st-2024/61214

So I'm not sure if there's a Cycle with 1.0 or a bit after 1.0

[quasi hatch]

1.0 will launch as the first cycle but fresh economy and leaderboards will be the only difference from legacy/standard

[candid elm]

Ok thank you, good clarification

[candid elm]

If your question is, should I wait two months to start playing, I'd say no. In two months you probably will want to try a new character anyway. Looking at my character list, I certainly played a bunch of different ones. Even if you don't, your characte(s) will still be there

[humble flint]

has anyone found a way to increase zoom level? currently it's just claustraphobic

[edgy sandal]

something is wrong with the marksman my arrows dont connect to the enemys whyyy

[desert tree]

If you are playing Detonating Arrow, it's bugged

[fiery rapids]

how do i change the language of the game? It used to be full English but now its a mix between English and Spanish since I have Steam in Spanish

[pearl sinew]

is there a shortcut

to switch between stash tabs

go fast to tab 1 , or 2 etc

[cold plaza]

Almost positive the answer is no.

I'd love to be wrong though

[desert tree]

Option menu, you should find it there

[desert tree]

No

But that would be a nice #1123698164503949392

[balmy gale]

Has anyone run into issues with their skills not working?
I loaded the game up, and my Marksman's Detonating Arrow and Hail of Arrows will blink, but not do anything.
I even Despec'ed them to see if it was a spec bug. Then I tried swapping their keys around. Nothing.
Smoke bomb and Shift still work just fine.

I'm in Offline mode, not sure if that impacts things.

[balmy current]

Do you have the correct weapon type equipped?

[balmy gale]

That is exactly the problem. Thank you!
Follow up question - do items break? My bow seems to have disappeared...

[balmy current]

Nope

Is it in the crafting slot (F from memory)?

[balmy gale]

Wow you are 2 for 2! That's exactly where it was, lol

[balmy current]

🙂

It's almost like I've seen this shit before...

[surreal verge]

[zealous orchid]

U guys know of any games like last epoch but 3rd person?

Want something to play while I wait for 1.0

[sterile bane]

Poe

[pastel pebble]

You mean over the shoulder?

[shadow bronze]

is lightless arbor meant for later in the game or as soon as you get the key?

im having some strange things happen. My items are disappearing off my character in while doing the campagin. I just lost like 2 uniques I had equipped...

maybe the item is there just bugged in visibility?

[haughty arrow]

has this penetration a duration? so can i use nova with this node to then use another spell afterwards an profit from penetration?

[native sail]

That's not how that works, and no. It says Elemental Nova hits. As in, only the hits from Elemental Nova. When they hit.

[haughty arrow]

yeah, im kinda desperatly trying to find some way to buff my shatter strike through another skill. will remail snap freeze for the near future, i guess 🙂

thanks anyway!

[native sail]

Check in with @icy drift, the resident Shatter Strike main

[icy drift]

wazzap

[pastel pebble]

Master of the Shat

[humble steeple]

I tried to configure the gamepad keys in the game menu, but it's a real torture. Is there a config file to fix this in the editor?

[icy drift]

you can buff shatter strike with the following:

• Damage nodes in flame ward (really nice early on but once your defenses start falling off i'd switch off of it)

• Fire brand: i personally don't like the playstyle of hitting with one skill to buff up anathor but if you do then go for it, it's quite good.

• Teleport: Slight extra ele damage.

• Mana Strike: top right has global increased damage after using it, it can be nice if you have extra points to spend.

[haughty arrow]

rofl

[haughty arrow]

flame ward: you mean retaliation damage (with cold convert)? i cant find nodes that would help shatter strike specifically

[icy drift]

nah one sec

These two nodes

if you convert flame ward to cold they'll also convert

10 flat and 250% increased

it's a decent amount. And i actually convert to cold anyway because of the huge armour node after it

[haughty arrow]

i'll check out fire brand, cool. mana strike is what i use, check.
teleport: would you prefer it over surge? i prefer tele mechanically as a travel skill, but i use surge cuz... i got all the cold dam gear -,-

[haughty arrow]

nice, thanks

[icy drift]

np, if you feel like your damage is weak at all it's probably because of gear btw, you want to get to 100% crit chance with duel wielding swords if you can

[haughty arrow]

only lvl 51 btw, campain, testing stuff

[icy drift]

ah

yeah you're good then

no need to worry too much

about gear that is

[haughty arrow]

so, dual wield, heh

[icy drift]

yeah it's by far the most damage because of the crit multi node

[haughty arrow]

ok, gonna give that a try i guess 🙂

[icy drift]

240% crit multi

it can be kinda rough to get to 100% crit chance but if you can get t5 flat crit on both swords and a peak of the mountain you'll basically be there

since shatter strike itself has no critical strike chance nodes

[haughty arrow]

sick

well, nice

[icy drift]

here's my character if you want to have a look

[native sail]

THE glass cannon build

[icy drift]

Yeah don't copy me 1 for 1, but you can see what works for damage atleast

especially the bloody nib

don't do that shit lol

you can do plenty of damage without it

[haughty arrow]

whats your opinion here:
teleport: would you prefer it over surge? i prefer tele mechanically as a travel skill, but i use surge cuz... i got all the cold dam gear -,-

[icy drift]

teleport for sure

[haughty arrow]

well, my reasoning is kinda stupid, i realize. surge is lightning first, only cold when conv

[icy drift]

personally though i'm not even speccing telepor

[haughty arrow]

didnt double check my nodes lol

[icy drift]

i just use it unspecced

surge is just worse as a traversal skill compared to teleport if it's unspecced

i could see a world where i might use surge if i could spec it but meh

[haughty arrow]

im not familiar with (anything, but especially) fire claw. is it getting procced my melee or buffing shatter in any way?

frost* claw

i saw you specced it

[icy drift]

yeah it's proccing from shatter strike because of the bottom most node

gives some ward and mana

[haughty arrow]

this?

[icy drift]

ya

[haughty arrow]

ah, nice

[icy drift]

but tbh it's not that great, if there's something you'd rather want then go for it

it's just busted with bloody nib at the moment, but it'll get fixed

[haughty arrow]

so, up to 30%. are you using shatter as you main/only attack? how do you handle its mana thirst?

[icy drift]

mana strike

[haughty arrow]

so alternating then? its what i do rn

[icy drift]

when you have enough attack speed it becomes smooth

ya

[haughty arrow]

k

[icy drift]

at low attack speed it can feel a bit jank

but at above 100% or so it starts feeling good

[haughty arrow]

it's fine already, only thing is the difference in area. shatter is just huge

or mana strike tiny in comparison

latter feels underwhelming then haha

[icy drift]

lol fair

[haughty arrow]

i guess i'll stick to snap freeze over frost claw for now, still trying stuff anyway. thanks for your input

[icy drift]

np

[haughty arrow]

well, there's another question 😄
does this node make enchant go off without having it on my skill bar?

5 skills are not enough 8[

it doesnt, just tested -,-

[desert tree]

That node is bugged anyway

[pearl girder]

I started a thread on the LE boards saying exactly that!

[haughty arrow]

20$ per skill slot ;D

[pearl girder]

For $20 it better come with Specialization (which I was NOT asking for) as well.

[shadow bronze]

is the lightless arbor key for any level or ?

[icy drift]

there's several tiers:

• tier 1: level 20
• tier 2: level 65
• tier 3: level 88
• tier 4: level 100

[shadow bronze]

I don't see any tier on the keys. I also have one for soulfire bastion now as well. Are they just to be done as you go through the campaign?

[sinful laurel]

Not on the keys. At the dungeon door. You progress through tiers, 1 unlocks 2. Uo to you if you want to do them during campaign.

[native sail]

The devs have pretty explicitly stated they will not give us more skills. Period.

[faint cape]

The keys are not tiered, any key can open any tier of the dungeon

[sterile bane]

Has anyone heard of bone headphones?

[pearl girder]

Bone induction headphones? Sure, I have a pair by

Shokz

[sterile bane]

Can I vc you for 2 mins?

[sinful crater]

o/ newbie here, but has anyone run into an issue where they're like bugged into a shrine and can't move at all (even with movement skills)? and is there a way to unstuck from it while in a monolith?

[shadow bronze]

For monolith, do I need to do the bonus objective for stability?

[pearl girder]

I'm sorry, I went AFK and didn't see your message. We can arrange a voice call if you like.

[tough parcel]

Is anyone else experiencing heavy rubberband and lag on the US East Server?

[desert tree]

Rushing objectives is way more efficient

[humble steeple]

Corruption still doesn't scale up legendary potential? Will this be in 1.0?

[past patrol]

hi everyone! potential new player here, I'd like to ask you al for some tips and maybe some good content creator/beguinners videos to get a some idea on how to start on LE 🙂

[desert tree]

Yes, this will change at 1.0

[desert tree]

Dreadful, Perry The Pig, The Curse, Cursedboy on yt
Maxroll (and everyone on the team) for some written guide

Lastepochtools.com has some guides aswell, but the quality varies because nobody is checking, but that's were you will find 99% of the guides

[humble steeple]

Mb simebody how can I reassign gamepad keys? Attack on A or B. These keys are responsible for ok/cancel 😦

[humble steeple]

Action RPG

[desert tree]

Sorry can't help you I don't play with controller

Maybe through steam?

[humble steeple]

There is an overlay, but it is not responsible for specific functions in the game, as I understand it. I'll look on YouTube.

[desert tree]

Maybe with an external tool you can "rebind" the keys

I have got smth like this for Poe where my mouse scroll actually left click

Maybe it can rebind the controller for you

This might become a native option in 1.0, since they are actively improving controller support

[humble steeple]

Two months...

[desert tree]

Hang in there little bro 🫂🫂

[sterile bane]

I can dm@you. My dad wants them@fir Christmas

[pearl sinew]

how is the endgame of this game? is it non existent or worth playing

im almost heading into endgame i think. lvl 55 now

[pastel pebble]

The bones are there and it feels good to play, definitely just needs some more content and it'll be gold

[pearl sinew]

thx

[sterile bane]

It’s more of just item grinding, and pushing difficulty, but if you enjoy it you can do it for hours

It’s also good to have multiple characters and switch it up

[pearl girder]

Sure. GIve me a few, I'm charging them.

[shadow bronze]

Is there any reason I should follow the runemaster maxroll leveling guide rather than the endgame hydra guide? The leveling guide doesn't make sense to me, it seems like a less smooth experience than just speccing the flame rush version in the end game, from the start. Links for reference:

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/hydrahedron-runemaster-guide#skills-header
https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/runemaster-leveling-guide#runemaster-passives-header

(I'm not really talking about the first few levels, but rather later on, after unlocking runebolt and invocation)

I guess I could just do a mix of both and swap it around where it makes sense, but I was wondering if I had missed something complex, since the leveling guide is actually using hydra anyway

[sterile bane]

It’s your style

I do a frost claw build

[desert tree]

Imo you don't have to follow any guide to lvl.

It's the perfect time to learn about the node and the skills and the playstyle of all the skills you can have

[shadow bronze]

I only really surface it because it seems weird to take teleport when flame rush has the auto invocate attached to it and fits into the hydra build that guide for leveling is working towards and using anyway

[sterile bane]

And my rm didn’t come together for a while

I use to be against flame rush but honestly imo the only reason. To use tp now is to speed run echo or story

FR is much more viable

[shadow bronze]

i guess the guide is more focused on speed than efficiency in that case, sort of makes sense

[sterile bane]

You can spec FR and then use tp only when you want to speed

Switching skills is more common then ppl think

[pearl sinew]

what do i lose if i die?

xp?

[desert tree]

If you are in hc your character goes to softcore

If you are in softcore and in an echo you loose the echo reward and stability

[pearl sinew]

what about softcore

and campaign

[desert tree]

Restart the map

[pearl sinew]

ah nice

[desert tree]

Death is not very punitive

[pearl sinew]

that is good

[desert tree]

I agree with you, but not everyone does

[pearl sinew]

yes

i presume they prolly change it when releasing

i think in poe , you lose 10% xp?

[desert tree]

Very unlikely to happen

[desert tree]

5% after 1st Kitava kill 10% after 2nd iirc

[pearl sinew]

ah

[pearl sinew]

btw do you expect much changes

between now and feb release

[haughty arrow]

again a question about penetration. cold penetration by this node only work for frostbite, so shatter strike damage (melee cold) doesn't get buffed by this penetration. right?

[desert tree]

Nope

[desert tree]

You are correct, this will apply only on the frostbite applied by Shatter Strike (and its subskill Ice Spike)

[haughty arrow]

alright, so away with it

[magic sparrow]

can i bind my right click to something else?

[haughty arrow]

i have the feeling, res reduction should be shown on enemies, like as an ailment. but nothing indicates the reduction being applied. is this known/wanted?

[pearl sinew]

what happends if i logg out during echo? do i lose all progress

[native sail]

Things like shred and some ailments are shown, I'd put in a suggestion for more specific things like this if you need it. Their philosophy is a bit odd to some, though.

[haughty arrow]

where to put suggestions? channel ask-the-devs?

[floral mesa]

#1123698164503949392

[haughty arrow]

thanks!

[pearl sinew]

does it matter when i complete a quest echo?

[desert tree]

It's like the stolen armor on shield throw

[desert tree]

Nope

[pearl sinew]

what to choose

lvl 66 seems obv right

[haughty arrow]

its what i just did. and what some streamers/youtubers say is whats right

(lvl 62 blessings suck afair)

[desert tree]

The right road (lvl 66) through monos give you stats blessing like res, leech etc...

The left side is for drop rate, like more sword, more idols etc...

[sterile bane]

Isn’t the right side also one mono shorter??

[sinful laurel]

Yes

[haughty arrow]

dont uniques always have the same lvl req?

or was there a patch and the left one is pre patch or something?

[sterile bane]

Some uniques have two versions

[sterile bane]

They have also mentioned that no item will be grandfathered which means if there is a change everyone’s item changes

[haughty arrow]

good to know

[sterile bane]

It’s why everyone was upset with the change to that shield I never got

Bastion I think

[haughty arrow]

will there ever be i time where i don't accidentaly use a glyph of chaos or a shatter rune on an item i just want to upgrade? 8[

[sterile bane]

Yes

Take your time

[haughty arrow]

it happens less and less often. but when it happens, it hurts

[sterile bane]

I’ve done that a couple of times. Just set aside time to shatter and then take your time

[haughty arrow]

im really abusing glyph of chaos, it's kinda my standard glyph

so i dont even realize it's there instead of glyph of hope

[sterile bane]

So then get in the habit of clearing it

[pine trail]

Well I must be all gamed out. past few months I've had no desire to open a single game and play, bth on the pc or phone. Either i'm on burnout or I'm just getting olld

[sinful laurel]

Do something where you literally can't play games for months. Guaranteed you'll get it back

[haughty arrow]

i just had an arena echo where my fps dropped to like 2. finished, through the green portal, everything fine again. worth a bug report or something?

[desert tree]

You can always do an in game report

Maybe your Ram is getting full. LE has some memory leak issues

[sonic saddle]

I mean, the main reason people were upset is because it got nerfed into being a very specific niche item, while also being harder to obtain and less likely to have lp

If they made it a little more common and a little easier to gain lp on it would've been fine

[desert tree]

I agree it didn't need the triple nerf

On top of the 2 previous nerfs it had

[pine trail]

Yeah it's been like 3, maybe 4 months now.....just have no interest to even play. I get in a game, LE, POE, D4, etc.......once in I move around for a few mins, (2-3) then I'm bored, so I just log back out. Maybe a phase I;m going thru, maybe burnout, dunno what it is

[faint cape]

Certain arena maps have terrible performance. Try moving around in the area, you may find a part of the map where you get better fps. And yeah, you can send in a bug report - I'd say probably do the in-game report with the map open showing the area name before you leave the echo so they know which one specifically has the poor performance.

[sinful laurel]

Stop forcing arpgs lol

[pine trail]

Yeah lol, I have a lot of them....DI, D4, poe, lotro.....I do have some fps though, cod, starship troopers, aliens fireteam, cod mobile.......so I have a mix of things

[sinful laurel]

So many types of good games. So many ways to stimulate your brain. I'm playing through nioh 2 again right now, loving it, when I have time to play

[pine trail]

Yeah, I'm just in pause mode I guess

Maybe it'll pickup after the holidays. have to wait and see

Spending a lot of time looking for a new job

[sinful laurel]

Work 80 hours a week doing some truly draining and exhausting stressful shit. Promise you will want to play games lol

[pine trail]

Ironically.......if I could find a job that pays to test/play games for a living, I'd be in hog heaven......sadly I think thats a huge pipe dream

Doesn't help I hate my job I'm at right now either

[sinful laurel]

Ironically, that's how you never want to play games for fun again lol

[pastel pebble]

Yeeep

[sterile bane]

your brain starts thinking of gaming as a job and not fun. it happens to athletes and other professionals all the time

[sinful crater]

for MP if we're a group of 3 and starting monos, if one of us didn't pick the lvl 66 option after the first clear (and picked the lower lvl option), can we still group together?

[dapper pier]

just tried to play the game after a month or so and says online play unavailable?

[wide sentinel]

try restaring game or verifying files or try to connect to another server

[dapper pier]

i did, also uninstalled a ree installed. not sure what's wrong

[wide sentinel]

well people did pop in with same issue when above didnt help

not sure how they resolved it

[dapper pier]

weird. i might try and make another character tomorrow and see if that works

[iron rock]

is there different in content between online mode and offline mode?

[iron rock]

I've been starting playing this game for a couple days in online mode, but sometimes there's problem with the connection to the server, if there's not a difference between online mode and offline mode, i'll just play on offline mode

[safe harness]

you will miss out on cosmetics and when 1.0 comes out, trade

and ofc playing with other players

[faint cape]

Aside from the stuff mentioned, there's also leaderboards and really random minor things like you can't walk through enemies in offline.

[surreal verge]

There are 2 helm uniques that have two versions.
They just have different bases (And thus different armor amounts and lvl requirements)

[lost goblet]

hey all, are the support packs on steam cosmetics, or ingame content?

thinking of buying the game just wanted to know before i buy 🙂

[surreal verge]

COsmetics

[icy drift]

yup purely cosmetic, they also don't include the game just so you know

[cinder musk]

Hey people!
How long are the wait between areas now a days? Still like 30 sec?

[cedar locust]

It's improved for a lot of players so it's worth testing if you haven't in a while!

[cinder musk]

thx mate ill try it again

[cedar locust]

There are also somethings that can help improve those times, such as trying another server - even if the ping looks higher, sometimes players can get a more stable connection on other servers 🙂

[sterile bane]

Really???

My game seems to do better on central even though I live in eastern

Wonder if that’s why

[cedar locust]

Yep, the team are looking into why - all I know is that it can help, so it's worth trying!

[sterile bane]

Weird because I’m in prob the most eastern state you can get

Well one of

[cedar locust]

If it works, it works!

[sterile bane]

Did you see I post a new reply to the feedback we discussed a long time ago about the discord

[pastel pebble]

Ave where were you?

[cedar locust]

The new channels suggestion?

[cedar locust]

Moving House! Sorry I didn't say I'd be gone, or say goodbye!

[pastel pebble]

Likely story

[cedar locust]

I really did, it's not easy so close to Christmas 😅

How have you been Boru?

[pastel pebble]

My kids are puking

[cedar locust]

Oh no! Stomach bug or bad food?

[pastel pebble]

Some sort of fever we got from some doc appointmenr we had

We had 4 appointments last week

[cedar locust]

Ugh getting sick from the doctors office just seems unfair, though it also makes sense

[sterile bane]

Yrs.

Thank you

[pearl sinew]

hi noob question

after completing fall of outcasts, is there a point in redoing it?

or should i go straight for 66 the black sun

[cedar locust]

Only for loot drops, most players push to unlock empowered monoliths for better loot though!

[sinful laurel]

Like ave said, beeline the high level monos to the final three islands, complete those and get to empowered. Then worry about farming and getting blessings as all islands will be unlocked

[pearl sinew]

thanks

wtf just got this

im a lightning mage xd

[cedar locust]

Noice!

[haughty arrow]

so, thats a first for me
whats to know there?

[sinful laurel]

Just a little Easter egg

Nothing major

[desert tree]

There is a 3rd one

Keep looking

[haughty arrow]

is there a niche scenario, where this kind of dmg taken conversion is wanted as an exalted affix?

[sinful laurel]

If you have a crapload of armor

Which sentinels do. As like their only DR source lol

[haughty arrow]

ah, because armor only has 70% reduction for non-phys dmg, right?

[sinful laurel]

Correct.

[desert tree]

Yep

[haughty arrow]

but would you still use such affix?

only effects necrotic

[desert tree]

Imo they are not worth loosing a prefix

[sinful laurel]

Agreed

Too many good prefix slots on body armor

[desert tree]

And helmet

This is too specific to be good

[haughty arrow]

mine has pretty good blocking 8[ but extremely squishy 8[[[

[sinful laurel]

Yup. Welcome to sentinel

Not enough layers for their defense

[haughty arrow]

dot shield throw, im really potting a lot. not even empowered monos yet haha

[desert tree]

If it was maybe elemental or void/necro/poison grouped that could be worth

[sinful laurel]

Except for a few niche things that make sentinel the MOST tanky thing in the game lol

[sinful laurel]

Dot shield throw probs not the best starter honestly.

[haughty arrow]

its what i ended up 😄

[desert tree]

Stare in Rebuke

[haughty arrow]

for now at least

[desert tree]

Ignite?

[haughty arrow]

yea

[desert tree]

Firestarter Torch?

[haughty arrow]

no uniques on my build, if thats a unique

[desert tree]

It is

[haughty arrow]

but two smite on hit idols, 4 and 8 %

-,-

doesnt heal a lot sadly

[desert tree]

Do you need a hand with your build?

[sinful laurel]

Sounds like you are mixing a lot of different themes here

Too much jack of all trades, not enough specialization

[haughty arrow]

sounds like me

[desert tree]

Sound pretty coherent

[safe harness]

Doesn’t smite only heal if you are right next to the target getting hit?

[haughty arrow]

i narrowed it down to ignite pretty much, but yeah, these smite idols seemed nice

[desert tree]

Shield Throw + Smite is a bit like Hammer Smite

[haughty arrow]

im in the middle of the heat 😉

[sinful laurel]

Except hammers have a lot more hits per second don't they?

[desert tree]

Sure, it's a bit worse

But you have built in ignite with Shield

[sinful laurel]

I'm no sentinel expert. But it seems like smite with shield throw isn't ideal. But I willing to learn 😉

[haughty arrow]

i get my ignite up to 100 sometimes, on paper its not that bad i guess. but im squishy

[desert tree]

And double hit with the fire burst

[safe harness]

If you want to be truly ethical you proc smite with javelin

[haughty arrow]

can i copy paste my build somewhere? like on le tools?

[safe harness]

Yes

[desert tree]

Clear is pretty nice with the rebound, but for Single target you want either a Manifest Armor or Ring of Shie'd to get more bounce

[safe harness]

You just need to enter your account and character names

[desert tree]

Yes, there is an import fonction

If you want to post it in #🔱┃sentinel so we don't clutter here

[pastel pebble]

Smite Javelin is fun TBH

[dim flare]

is target farming a specific unique/set reward (With LP) affected by correction level? or does it just need to be empowered?

[stable steppe]

i've got a question regarding hungering souls.

if i pick fire skull which converts base damage from possesion to ingnite, will the skill now scale if i wear an item with ''increase fire damage'' modifier? for example calamity
and will it count as a fire skill?

[balmy current]

higher corruption gives higher chance for uniques which means you'll have more with LP

[balmy current]

Yes, the conversion nodes all say that they "now scale with XXX damage element" not the original one & they should say that they loose the old tag & gain the new one

[faint cape]

More of the "unique or set X" echoes will generate on higher corruption and farther distance from center. LP chance itself is not affected currently, but will be slightly affected after 1.0 releases.

[stable steppe]

thanks for the quick reply, kind off a follow up question, would fire damage be better or spell damage or does it scale the same

[desert tree]

They scale the same. 5% fire dmg = 5% spell dmg

Fire dmg works with the ignite though not spell dmg

[stable steppe]

would i need a good ignite chance first for the fire dmg to start?

[desert tree]

Start what?

[stable steppe]

would a mob need to ingite first for the fire dmg to start occuring

[desert tree]

The spell deal fire dmg too

[stable steppe]

ignite is just extra fire dmg added on top?

[desert tree]

So the hit will deal fire dmg and the ignite aswell

[stable steppe]

okay gotcha

[desert tree]

You usually don't really want to scale both though

Even if they share the fire tag they scale pretty differently

[analog wadi]

what does orobyss say on death? "my chains return but what of yours"?? what does it mean???

[toxic echo]

Assume we are kind of 'stuck' as the savior cuz of fate/destiny w.e despite being able to travel all over time itself, we really arent 'free'. But there are still 3 missing chapters so I am sure we will get some of the missing pieces filled in then

[analog wadi]

fate>freewill>destiny

freewill decides destiny

yet has no hold over fate

[elder forum]

What are the current meta builds? A tier list would be great if there is one anywhere!

[sinful laurel]

You can Google some YouTube videos on that, I'm sure they exist. But the best answer is that the meta build is the one you like to play the most. This ain't poe

[elder forum]

Really? That sounds super boring for me, if true. Having a meta to work towards is what I find the most entertaining.

[sinful laurel]

I'm not sure what you mean. Like, you want some top streamer to give you a pob so you can follow it and be done when you complete it?

If that's the case look for a build on maxroll or LEtools or YouTube and follow it.

There isn't a "meta" as there aren't cycles or resets yet

[elder forum]

Whoever is theorycrafting, sure. Meta would just be whatever builds/classes are the most powerful. Unless all builds have homogenized skill/power, there would always be a meta. I'll try looking at Maxroll and see what things look like according to them!

[surreal verge]

If you mean meta as “top doing well” builds, there’s quite a bit that will work for most people

Necro, shaman, bladedancer,runemaster…

[sinful laurel]

I tried that already kzb lol

[surreal verge]

Fun is more inportant because climbing to the very Non-existant top is a lot of time even with the top build

[sinful laurel]

We all theorycraft

[surreal verge]

Because it’s not hard at all to theorycraft

I have still yet to fully test that shatter lance necro

[elder forum]

I completely agree with the first part of your statement. The problem is that 'fun' is not an objective thing. Maybe for you it is following aa class/build that suits you thematically, and for somebody else it is playing one that feels like it completely dominates.

[surreal verge]

That’s fair, maxroll and letools has strong builds if you want to search for them.

But there’s no true “top” right now

[elder forum]

That's understandable. I'm sure everything is in a heavy flux right now. Thanks for the info!

[faint cape]

Well, idk, there definitely are top builds. We just may not all agree on what they are.

[surreal verge]

That’s why I said no true “top” cause it’s probably like 4+ different builds

[faint cape]

Then there are literally busted ones that'll get patched out

[pastel pebble]

Only good builds are Sentinel as far as I care

[haughty arrow]

third try on julra, now that i googled the mechanics and learned that one can (and must) time swap in the fight. wish me luck -,-

[icy drift]

Gl

[haughty arrow]

thanks, did it. i still fucked up switching up my keys, but fortunately, she seems squishy (tier 1 at least)

[desert tree]

Tier 1, 2 are quite easy
3 requires a build that make sense
4 is challenging, not super hard but you need to be prepared

[haughty arrow]

still had to google the mechanics, simply got 1shot by this white cloud thing 😄

are there actual reflection builds?

got some update with my ignite shield throw build btw

this here made the biggest difference i guess:

the smite node sacrifice was a suicide mission before -,-

[desert tree]

The node after mitigate the health cost

[desert tree]

To make the best use of Maehlin Hubris you would want a weapon with bleed chance, since you convert it into ignite chance

[haughty arrow]

yeah, i think im gonna rid of my attack speed node (costing 7 points all in all) and put all in sacrifice+node after

[haughty arrow]

got this rn

so, these gloves only really worth if i get my bleed up?

[desert tree]

I mean they are good rn because you got some bleed chance in your passive tree

But if you get a 1h or 2h axe with bleed chance in implicit +suffix and ignite chance in suffix thats going to be pretty good

[haughty arrow]

updated my loot filter

[desert tree]

Wielding an axe allow you to use the Blade master passive too

[low coyote]

I know there's the skill black hole for Mages that will pull in mobs, but are there more skills? What classes have them?

[toxic echo]

ballistas have a pull node...warcry technically has a pull/push, but its not a lot. tornado has a pull

[desert tree]

These are all the skills that have the word pull in them

[low coyote]

I've been playing Minion Acolyte and Spin2win Sentinel (I had to get the 2 most basic archetypes outta the way first!) but both suffer from a problem of leaving the loot behind, and having to run back to find it. I'd like a build that groups things up, blasts them down and then I can gather the loot up afterwards. Anyone got some good build recommendations? (Already thinking of Black Hole Meteor Mage character, but open to ideas of something a bit more unusual, as I've played something really simmilar in Diablo 3 already).

I might check out Tornado Shaman, as I don't see that come up in ARPGs much

[desert tree]

Tornado Beast master is better than shaman

You can get a ton of crit chance/multi in the second part of the bm tree

[low coyote]

I see a lot of guides here: https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/filter/skill=tornado&mastery=beastmaster
Can someone recommend one or to to look at?

And they are all 0.8.4 or before, are they still relevant?

[barren inlet]

I truly need to ask, because I am playing Paladin how does the scaling tags work?

specifically when it comes to "Spell" keyword

Because this is confusing me.

And I know it should be simple, but Healing hands "Scales with spell keyword"

Well the only thing that I can see on the character sheet or any items so far that offer increased spell anything is "Spell damage"

But when I looked it up it said that such skills only scale with healing effectivness.

Why does it have the Spell tag for the scaling tag then?

I know that it is a "spell" I guess, but how does the calculation work? I'm assuming it's not using spell damage to increase it's healing, but this has been frustrating me the last day since I can't find any... Solid information on this. Since it states "Scales with spell tag"

I know I'm being annoying D: Just this is wierd ;-;

[toxic echo]

being as it doesn't have a skill tree...fairly sure no one uses healing hands, which is likely why you are having trouble finding info on it. its basically worthless in its current state

[barren inlet]

It doesn't?? Ooph

I didn't even get to unlock it yet, was trying to plan it out (So I didn't know)

I wanted to know if I was going to go mace or sceptre on this build I was doing. Thinking Sceptre if healing hands scaled with "Spell damage" Because of what it says

I thought it'd be fun... dang.

It also sucks it doesn't have a skill tree because of this ability

I thought it'd be wonderful to have this comboing with Vengence.

[south wigeon]

hi guys, what 2 characters can you recommend for easy normal mof surfing without much uber gear?

[toxic echo]

there are still pleanty of healing options in paladin tree and skills where healing effectiveness would be helpful. would really just avoid that one skill. sceptre and shield is good on a few pali builds, sounds like you are on the right path tho

[barren inlet]

Yeah, I just now need to figure out a fifth skill. Maybe I'll stick with rebuke.

was originally going to use Smite instead of Healing Hand, but it seems Smite because of how it works is a primary skill sort of deal. So it doesn't fit with what I wanted to do with a vengence defense build.

Thanks for the help!

[haughty arrow]

yet again a damage calculation question. does this node also increase the ignite damage caused by shield throw (via the node left to it)?

or only the hit damage?

[desert tree]

Does it mention hit?

[desert tree]

I am not making fun of you just trying to get you in the right mindset

[haughty arrow]

no worries

[desert tree]

It does not mention hit so it's all fire dmg from Shield Throw
Hit from the shield
Hit from Lava Burst (or whatever the explosion is called)
And ignite from both

And Spreading Flame from both

[haughty arrow]

hm, ok. maybe i need to start a little earlier in the process. my shield throw tags are "fire, throwing attack, strengh, dex". i had some hints and realizations that any of these 4 tags boosted via gear would increase shield throws hit attack and ignite damage caused by the skill. right?

excluding obvious stuff like "+melee fire attack"

damage, not "attack"

[desert tree]

Ignite has its own tag

So in order to scale ignite you have to refer to thoses

But the skill you are using matter

[haughty arrow]

alright! i think i never really consider damage stated by skills vs damage stated by gear

[desert tree]

That should help you understand a bit more ailment scaling

That's from the game guide

[desert tree]

Yeah that's a bit confusing at first, know that more dmg from skill scale your ailments in not very well explained

But is actually very important

[haughty arrow]

so it says "from the skill tree and attribute scaling of the skill". how about passives?

like this increased dmg?

[sinful laurel]

Strange sense of deja Vu lol

[haughty arrow]

or any other (ele) dmg from passives

[sinful laurel]

Damage while you have something equipped works yes. That's just global damage upon meeting the condition

[haughty arrow]

im in a groundhog day loop, so are you

[sinful laurel]

Damage with weapon doesn't work though, as you might expect

[haughty arrow]

so on the description of ailments (screenshot above) something like "global damage" should be added, right? it only says "by skill and attribute points". or am i needlessly ... exact here?

[sinful laurel]

It doesn't say only in that tooltip. Those are just things that do scale dot damage

[haughty arrow]

(exact is not a good word here, im not finding the right one)

[sinful laurel]

Remember, the tags are all important

The only nuance with ailments is the damage scaling from the skill that applies it, specifically the nodes in the tree, as Vlad said

And attribute scaling but that's minor

[haughty arrow]

yeah, in my mind all the things the nodes say are just applied to the scaling tags of the skill (like fire, throwing, str, dex for shield throw) with ignite being completely seperated. like shield throw just "starts" the ignite and has nothing to do with its damage.

i think i'm getting there!

(get ready for some more of these conversations lol)

[sinful laurel]

Well remember that's not entirely true.

[haughty arrow]

yeah, i realize that

[sinful laurel]

Anything in Skill trees that doesn't specify hit boosts the ailment that is applied

[haughty arrow]

should have said "up until now" to make it clear, sorry

not that im 100% in the clear now lol

[sinful laurel]

Or things that are associated with the hit ofc. Like melee damage or throwing damage etc

You're good

[toxic anvil]

Or flat lol

[sinful laurel]

True

But we covered that yesterday haha

[haughty arrow]

sometimes i just wish something would apply. like skill tags working for ignite tags

like this here, +throw damage

please make it so, ehg!

[sinful laurel]

Lol not gonna happen

That's for throwing damage skills. Ironically enough 😉

[native sail]

Adding flat damage to DoTs would make them oppressively overpowered

Sorry, stackable DoTs

[sinful laurel]

That's what chance to apply is for 🙂

[narrow basin]

is anyone else crashing when trying to log into their character?

Verify integrity of game files

good shout

[shadow bronze]

Hi, it's my first time doing monolith. I'm seeing a lot of videos about what it is but not really what the optimal progress path it. Do I just full send right islands even if I'm below level to get into empowered asap?

[sinful laurel]

Yup, as long as you can handle it

There isn't a penalty for monsters above your level here

[shadow bronze]

I have a bunch of runes of ascendancy in my bags, any recommendations what to try to use them to get? I am playing shadow dagger BD level 67. I also have a 61 hydra runemaster which I stopped playing because the input lag is bad

[desert tree]

Do you need any uniques?

[pearl sinew]

im wondering, do any of you changed the shortcuts ? QWRE and rightclick

[sinful laurel]

I do asdf but that's just holdover habit from d2

[shadow bronze]

Guide recommends wings of argentus and 1-2 smoke weavers

[sinful laurel]

No wings, and you can't roa it anyways

And 2 weavers is not good. Just one

[shadow bronze]

Right, 1 weaver and li'raka claws. Should I try for those? I guess prio the weaver?

[haughty arrow]

like primeval, old d2 habit. but for me asd + space bar (for traversal skills)

shift+f for crafting

some other stuff

[sinful laurel]

Lirakas is something to transition too. It's PURE damage with no defense

Go for a weaver first if you want. But up to you

[shadow bronze]

Makes sense. Are there any that people recommend as a general use item? Even for leveling?

[sinful laurel]

For SD? Nah. That's one build that doesn't need any uniques

[shadow bronze]

No for SD, I meant generally for any character. I think not really aside from maybe some boots with MS or something. I'll try for the dagger 🙂 ty

[sinful laurel]

There are some general nice leveling uniques for sure, especially if you find some with LP and smash them well

I throw on the same leveling uniques personally on almost every class I level

[shadow bronze]

hahahah I did 2 daggers and got 2 jels, the detonating arrow ones

I have 3 more runes, will try again when more daggers are available

[sinful laurel]

Jelkhors builds are one of my favorites in the game tbf. But doesn't help you

[sinful laurel]

Fyi you can just gamble any level dagger from the gambler

[shadow bronze]

You need to be marksman for that right?

[sinful laurel]

Yup

[shadow bronze]

ooo I got it 🙂

[pearl sinew]

btw, is there a shortcut to open monolith portals after compelting a map

[sinful laurel]

Not sure what you mean? After completing an echo, just click the open portal button

[pearl sinew]

ah yes

sorry i meant

instead of clicking the button

[sinful laurel]

Or press your town portal button

[pearl sinew]

is there a keyboard shortcut

[cedar locust]

t

[sinful laurel]

Yes. Town portal

T

[pearl sinew]

thanks!

[gleaming harness]

How do I copy my online character to offline?

[sinful laurel]

You don't

if that is even possible not sure

oh alright

[sinful laurel]

Yup. Separate

[gleaming harness]

thank you

[haughty arrow]

"health on melee hit": does it count per single hit or does it count every enemy? like 10 health on hit, my attack hits 5 enemies, do i get 50 health then?

[desert tree]

You get 50hp

You get 10hp on every hit

[haughty arrow]

alright. i think i might have thought of "hit" as "strike", just a single attack. but now i got the meaning

thanks

[pearl sinew]

is it possible to trade this game

thanks

There's currently just item gifting, where you can give items that dropped while you were grouped to the person you were grouped with. The trade stuff the bot linked should be coming with version 1.0 in Feb 2024.

[desert tree]

A hit can be done by a spell, a melee attack, a throwing attack or a bow attack

[sinful laurel]

Or a minion attack

Which is one of those as well ofc

[desert tree]

Sure, doesn't work in the case of health on hit but minion can hit too

[sinful laurel]

Oh for health on hit. My b

Thought he was still on ailments

[tough echo]

Hey, i just got this Error since 5 mins and cant log in, please help!

[random cosmos]

me and my cousin have the same issue

[toxic echo]

looks like steam is having a fit rn

[sinful laurel]

Nothing to do but wait

[tough echo]

@cold orbit @clever lily youre already aware of that and is there a fix for it? 🙂

[sinful laurel]

Bro. Don't do that

[ocean wadi]

i wanna play 😦

[native sail]

Why do they always ping a supporter

[sinful laurel]

Idk lol.

[ocean wadi]

i think there is a problem with migration i buy the the game on steam but i got this also

[sinful laurel]

Migration is a different error and is fixable

[native sail]

It's an issue with the Steam login servers, usually.

[ocean wadi]

oh ok

😦

[sinful laurel]

And an issue with patience, or lack thereof 🙂

[ocean wadi]

its always my luck i work 12 hours come home wanna play nope steam says no

[haughty arrow]

just reached empowered monos. damn, these boss fights are fun!

[bitter jungle]

Is there a shortcut for dropping things from the inventory?

Also, blaze it

[long terrace]

[primal needle]

Hello, I have heard great things about this game, but a few issues I am having:

1. they keep changing maps and story after major patches, so I have to start new characters
2. Targeting for Melee, Ranged, and Magic seems off, I'll have to click a mob 3 times before I land a hit
3. They keep making the game harder and harder, Im an ARPG fan, and played Diablo, TQ, GD, etc but this game is differnet
   This time Started Paladin, I get killed by a bear in the first area, nothing I can do
   Changed to Mage, same issue; I changed to Rogue and use Bow.. I can kite and kill but takes so long to do this, and in the begining of the game?
   I move a few maps and now fire arrow hit me and I just die... I mean I get you wanna make a hard game, but its not very beginner freindly

Is there anything I can do? seems crazy it being this hard starting out.

[native sail]

Idk what your issue is, honestly. Most people complain the game is too easy

[safe harness]

Are you using health potions?

[primal needle]

yeah when I get them, but example I have 150 HP, I get hit with a Fire arrow from Archer or 2, I am down to 70HP, and there normally more then 1 archer, I end up spaming the healing, well both potions I have and I might get 1 or 2 killed from the mob, but I just end up dead, re-spawn and starting the map over

[sterile bane]

has it been resolved?

[sterile bane]

yea i suck at arpg and i dont think this game is hard at all.

[sage sorrel]

Are you playing on hardcore?

[edgy sphinx]

I used to think it was hard until I figured out I needed resistances.

Suddenly stuff stopped hitting so hard

[obsidian palm]

even on hardcore ins't that hard, he probably need to watch some video or somthing like that

[sage sorrel]

Yeah i found it too easy tbh

[edgy sphinx]

Lagos still hits like a truck in the story though.

[native sail]

Lagon always hits like a truck, his whole gimmick is you aren't supposed to get hit

[edgy sphinx]

I'm not that good at arpgs

[haughty arrow]

@primal needle i found the beginning surprisingly difficult, too, monsters are pretty beefy and can actually kill you. for the first few areas it is important to kite and avoid some hits, retreat if needed. after you get your first 2 or 3 skills it should get a lot easier

[acoustic thicket]

hello, i bought the game on steam and now the game is telling me to migrate my account into steam account, the game asked me to leave steam open and i did, should I just send a support email or any fixes to this?

[sage sorrel]

steam is down

[sage sorrel]

^^

[acoustic thicket]

so this is with everyone playing?

[sage sorrel]

correct

we are all waiting

[acoustic thicket]

lovely

[frigid turret]

what is the best site to follow guides ? I know about lastepochtools and maxroll, is there any other ?

[delicate dust]

Icyveins has also recently expanded to add Last Epoch https://www.icy-veins.com/last-epoch/ 🙂

[icy drift]

ayo lol

[gleaming harness]

For flame wraith build what is the order of what i should max between these 3 because it's gonna take a while to get lv100 and max them all

[native sail]

I'd say Moonlight Pyre > Blades of The Forlorn > Rite of Undeath

[gleaming harness]

ty 😄

[wide sentinel]

i think your approach is the main issue, firstly you dont wanna kill mobs much while leveling, usually you run and throw coupld of skills to kill trash low hp mobs while ignoring anything big. Tho really not sure how you died on mage to a bear since you can kite and just shoot LB while dodging his melee attacks when he gets close, but in the end its a waste of time to even fight it

[faint cape]

What Deias said, though maybe some points in Rite first if you are struggling on resists

by first I mean after Moonlight Pyre

[spare swallow]

is the game broke? keeps wanting me to link steam and I been using steam for a year

[pastel pebble]

#news

[spare swallow]

thanks

[primal needle]

I guess this doesn't make since to me, as you need exp to level and gear to make you better... well how do you get gear, gold, exp? by killing things... If I avoid killing then I don't level and I get to area boss etc how are you to kill them under level, geared etc?

[wide crypt]

Is there a decent guide/video anywhere that details the crafting mechanics? I understand it at a basic level but feel there is more that I'm missing out on that I'm not understanding.

[wide sentinel]

you kill small packs of low hp mobs, they drop plenty and you get more than enough xp just doing it, if you can find any speedruns of LE on YT you can see for yourself

nobody stopping to kill thicc magic or rare mobs

tho strong build get enough damage to just delete everything with almost no gear while running around

but under lvl 15-20, which you were talking abt everyone plays pretty much the same

[haughty arrow]

im mostly with hordolur on this one. if im playing an arpg, my first aim is to kill mobs for xp and loot, maybe skip some super beefy ones

yeah, at least for campain or early/mid game

[haughty arrow]

thats not intuitive

just consider d2, where at a certain lvl you only kill those, if you want the gear at least

[wide sentinel]

well i was suggesting most efficient way to lvl, but tbh ive seen plenty of very casual streamers trying out LE and they definetly did they same as you suggested without big struggles, tho sure they died couple of times

tbh the first real struggle of more casual players is lagoon, havent seen people complaining much abt anything before that

[haughty arrow]

at a first glance i expect an arpg to throw stuff at me and i fight it and thus progress to the game. if its needs you to skip a whole bunch of stuff i would call that bad design. not talking about very late game mechanics, play styles etc

[dense root]

it doesn’t need you to skip things

you just progress faster if you don’t stop to fight with enemies that will take a long time

but you’ll get to the same place in the end whether or not you skip things

this is how other arpgs work too even if you don’t believe that to be the case

the people rushing through the poe campaign and getting through acts in only a couple hours aren’t doing that by stopping to fight every enemy

this doesn’t mean no one can take their time. plenty of players take longer to get through acts and they still end up in maps when they’re done

but rushing to higher end content is a strategy in basically every arpg that offers higher end content to do

[wide sentinel]

yep, its just in le if you dont rush on first 1-15 lvls you will need to play very carefully and dodge things, since you do not have yet base levels in strong leveling skills and do not have any basic gear

after that if you didnt choose weird skill, just skill+up to date base weapon should carry you

[dense root]

with that said i don’t actually think it makes sense to recommend rushing through the campaign to new players

it doesn’t really work if you don’t understand what skills are good and what strong weapons look like

it also doesn’t work if you aren’t able to manually dodge boss attacks to make up for your lower level and weaker gear which isn’t something someone brand new to the game will be able to do consistently

[wide sentinel]

maybe but ngl not rushing wont make much of a difference, you wont get such great gear and will still need to dodge on first act bosses

[dense root]

sure but the more time you spend ignoring enemies to speed through the campaign the greater the disparity between your character level and the area level will be and even just the difference between getting one shot and getting two shot can matter a lot for something like lagon or majasa

[wide sentinel]

but tbh its rreally rare to see people coming here and complaining abt very early campaign, if anything i met many more people who just picked some random skills and got through campaign to monos

even tho it took some time

[primal needle]

Does this game have a "dodge" system like GW2 or D4?

[toxic echo]

there is no dodge button specifically. however there are many skills that can be used as a dodge across all the classes

[bitter jungle]

??

lol wrong one

[bitter jungle]

?

[primal needle]

so passive, or X% to dodge ?

[toxic echo]

there is a dodge stat in the game, but not what i am talking about/you asking about. you have skills that move your character. teleport, shift, lunge....skills like that. tagged in game as either movement or traversal skills.

[primal needle]

Gotcha, thanks

[sinful crater]

does anyone happen to have a good link/resource to explain respeccing and if/when it's not viable anymore? like is there a lvl where you shouldn't because it wouldn't be possible to get enough xp to fully level the skills you're switching to?

[toxic echo]

you will always be getting XP, so you will never run out of it

[surreal verge]

None.
There's an effeciency matter, but you're getting xp even at lv 100.

So you can always max skills.

(And at end game they take like 5 mins lul)

[sinful crater]

oh that's amazing and exactly what I was hoping, ty both ❤️

[surreal verge]

Just note that at certain char levels, leveling skills WILL take a while.
Nothing that can't be fixed, but yeah

[sinful crater]

would it be potentially tough to make a big switch around the 70-75 range and still starting out with monoliths?

(I group with 2 others though so I can get carried a bit if needed)

[sterile bane]

If you reset a skill at 100 how many points do you get??

[toxic echo]

your minimum skill level, at character lvl 100 is 10.

[toxic echo]

if you respec your main dmg skill, it might be a rough echo or two, but you will get the skill points back fast. and you will always have the minimum skill level, so it wont be a lvl 1 skill

[sinful crater]

oh that's not bad at all, I was hoping to play around a bit to try some things out within the mastery so that's perfect.

[tough parcel]

Do we know if the story will continue in 1.0

[native sail]

It will not.

[primal needle]

will there be a character wipe for 1.0?

[sour bridge]

Hey everyone, I'm using this set up for tempest strike to try and make it so that the secondary effects can never proc, and it always generates me 20 mana on cast

but for some reason, lightning bolt is proccing

does this set-up not work for some reason?

[surreal verge]

Grounded doesn't work if both Northern and earthspikes are disabled.

[sour bridge]

ah

thats really sad to see 😦

[haughty arrow]

that's it. why tell a newbie "just skip (monsters/areas) xy, everyone does it"? but if progress would really be abhorrently slow or tedious with a "normal" playthrough, that's what i would call bad design.
and sure, probably in most aarpgs, after a while, most people start to skip stuff to get through the game faster

[surreal verge]

It isn't tho. The campaign is... pretty easy on a normal play.

They may or may not have a skill issue,.

[dense root]

i mean abhorrently slow is a matter of perspective

i could do the campaign multiple times in the amount of time it will probably take you on your first playthrough

i just don’t think that’s a problem

it’s fine to take things slow while you’re learning

[icy drift]

the campaign is totally fine with "normal" play, the devs actually get complaints that it's too easy from people who clear out most mobs

[past wolf]

New player here! Quick question regarding farming - When should I start looking for uniques for my build? For example, I'm level ~26 and a unique I need is Mad Alchemist's Ladle, which is for level 17+

Do I start farming it now? Or should I wait? If I start now, anyone have tips for farming that specific uni?

[surreal verge]

For your unique: Er, have you seen rune prisons yet?

[past wolf]

Yes! I've fought a few of the exiled mages, no luck with drops yet tho

Is there a faster way to find them more often, or should I just continue through the campaign and hope I get lucky?

[surreal verge]

Not much you can do but pray to RNGesus

[icy drift]

yeah just do the campaign and kill any exiled mages you find along the way pretty much

[past wolf]

gotcha. It isn't worth it to like reload the same zone over and over again hoping for a spawn?

[pastel pebble]

Nah

Just move on

[sterile bane]

the first, and i think only, time i saw a laddle was when smoeone carried me during a 200+ cc run

[pearl sinew]

whats the difference between prefix shard vs relic shard

context

[latent herald]

Hey new player here, any recommendation on first class/mastery? Im leaning towards that doesnt require too many stats to make looting/crafting easier for me

[surreal verge]

Prefix shards are affixes that are normally damage affixes,while relic shards are ones that can go onto relics.

[surreal verge]

Whatever you find fun

[latent herald]

is necro still gonna be good in mid/late game? or liche better?

[surreal verge]

Both are good for their own reasons

They fill different styles

[shadow bronze]

Is it possible to rune of Ascend a bastion of honour?

[toxic echo]

can rune anything that isnt a boss item, so yes. but its gonna be suuuuper rare

[coarse parcel]

are set / unique insert specific item type nodes more frequent with more corruption ?

[gritty shadow]

hey guys, how do I see "reduced bonus damage taken from crit strikes" in the character sheet? I'm over 100% now but I can't seem to track it anywhere accurately

[surreal verge]

In theory

[faint cape]

Yes, on average. The chance also gets higher the farther from the web's center you are.

[faint cape]

I don't think it has a character sheet section yet. If you don't see it near the crit avoid stat, it isn't there.

[shadow bronze]

Compared to shadow daggers, what sentinel build has similar clear speed & similar/better single target? I wanted to try one out. I don't have wings or bastion but I think I have most of the other common uniques

[red mortar]

Hello. When i read resistance description it says enemies penetrate resistance by 1% par area level up to 75%. Does it means our resistance is less and less effective as we progress through the game? Or i misunderstand it.

[pastel pebble]

It becomes more important. It's not as punishing as in PoE but it's still important to try and cap them

Missing 3% of a res may not be a death sentence but at late end game it is noticable

[red mortar]

ah right it can penetrate below 0% , did not think of that indeed

[safe harness]

Yeah, the penetration ends up making it so resists reduce bonus damage rather than give damage reduction

[fresh sapphire]

what's the beer? can't pick it up?

[quasi hatch]

It's just a special name for a potion as an easter egg

[pearl sinew]

item 1

Or item 2

im a cold mage

[mint reef]

considering the resistances are the same i would just compare tooltip dps

[pearl sinew]

what is tooltip dps

[toxic echo]

well would need to finish crafting on item 2. and do you care about freeze or cast speed

[pearl sinew]

sorry im noob

[pearl sinew]

cast speed is nice, but i do not care about freeze multiplier

[mint reef]

when you hover over the main spell you are using you see the estimated damage per second

[toxic echo]

well since you got FP on the second item...see about chaos glyphing the affixes you dont care about...and upgrading the ones you do. see what you get.

a bit hard to compared a half finished item with anything

[mint reef]

are there bonuses for solo self found ?

[pearl sinew]

gotcha thx all!

[toxic echo]

not right now. eventually with item factions in 1.0, kinda.

[pearl sinew]

another question

what are use cases for rune of shattering?

should i just apply them on random exalted items or what is the strategy

[toxic echo]

generally, on affixes you need for your build or +skill affixes, or rarer affixes such as hybrid health or pen that are good on everything.

you will get PLENTY of common affixes in the late game, so dont worry too much about those.

you also get tons of shatter runes late game too, so dont feel the need to be crazy picky

[pearl sinew]

thx!

[modern vector]

i am stuck in main quest, cant get through scorched grove -> solemn path so cant get to herborea and carry on with main quest. Do i need to do side quests to open up waypoints?

[tough echo]

hey 🙂 how you unlock the slots below for higher chance getting the desired blessing?

[toxic echo]

4th is unlocked at 50 corruption/empowered timelines (should never farm blessings in normal anyways). 5th at 200 corruption

[tough echo]

oh damn.. 😄 and how to corrupt /empower timelines?

[misty helm]

complete thr three NE timelines and do the animation beteeen them after (on a bridge area)

[toxic echo]

What they said. Do the three lvl 90 timelines, touch the chest between them to empower(make them lvl 100). The blessings have better ranges in enpowered, which is why no one really should farm them in normal

[tough echo]

awesome, ty guys 🙂 sadly i wasted so much time with that farming already ^^

[sterile bane]

5th is at 200??

[toxic echo]

The 5th slot is, yes

Its also where the last item from Orobyss gets unlocked. Its kinda the milestone you are lookin to get to

[sterile bane]

Yea I think the highest I got was 160

[past wolf]

Okay, I'm slightly losing my mind lol. I'm level 57 and trying to get the Mad Alchemist's Ladle, so I'm reloading a level 20 map over and over again. I've kliled maybe two dozen exiled mages at this point and still no drop x.x Do I need to farm higher level ones?

[faint cape]

Please don't do that. Just keep progressing the character and hit every old guy you see along the way. They get more common further along and then you're not wasting time in a low level zone.

[past wolf]

I feel like I don't see the exiled mages often enough just playing the campaign :x Do you mean they appear more often later on? Or do they drop that unique more often the higher level they are?

[sterile bane]

I think I said this before the only laddle I saw was at a 200+ corruption run

If you keep asking g here, someone will carry you on a 200 run but just okay the best you can without it. I know it makes the build a lot easier but the more you play the game the easier your next build becomes

[past wolf]

When does it make sense to start trying to do 200+ corruption runs? 😮

[native sail]

When you make your way to 200+ corruption. You'll be probably mid 90s or higher when you get there if you're not just piggybacking off someone else.

[past wolf]

Okay, so it's more for farming gear for your next char and not your current one? I guess I'm just a little confused why I should try farming a level 17 unique at level 90+ lol

[native sail]

To put it bluntly, you're trying to farm an item that's generally considered an endgame viable weapon in a level barely able to drop it

[native sail]

Because just because it's a level 17 item doesn't mean it isn't an endgame item, that isn't how it works in this game.

Mad Alchemist's Ladle is legitimately THE best wand in the game if you can use it and get a good legendary slam.

[past wolf]

Okay, fair enough. Does that advice apply to other uniques as well though? The other two I need are like 40-60.

[pastel pebble]

Ladles are good for soup

Just progress and you'll have a better time than reloading a level 20 map

[native sail]

Many uniques can be used in something. There's not many that are really "dead" items. The legendary system basically assures this.

[sterile bane]

It’s also not a lvl 17 unique that just means you can use it at that lvl. There are unique that require lvl 40-60 but you won’t see till 200+ xD

Cc

Also always listen to @native sail

[native sail]

Rarity's a bitch.

[sterile bane]

And an asshole

[native sail]

Okay not always because otherwise you may end up muted with me sometimes

[past wolf]

Yeah fair enough lol. I was just tyring to get it earlier rather than later to make levelling faster

[sterile bane]

That’s one of the points of the game

[pastel pebble]

Not me though, I never get muted

[past wolf]

I figured if it starts dropping from 17+ it should be relatively easy to get but I guess that's not how it works

[sterile bane]

That’s why I think legacy won’t be as empty as POE standard is

I think a decent amount of ppl will play legacy during cycle

I might even redo my RM

[tough echo]

is it important on which subtype i put that on and what Itemlvl it has?

[sterile bane]

Yes and idk

[faint cape]

No, only type matters (like 2h axe). There is no item level stat.

[tough echo]

awesome, ty! so i just gonna try to get my Judgement Gloves for pala 🙂

whuat the fark 😅

[faint cape]

Nice!

[surreal verge]

Nope. Level requirement doesn't matter.

[pallid wave]

hello guys, i just created my first second character offline too, there is no shared stash offline ?

i can't find the items from my other character

(both are found characters)

[low coyote]

We're your other characters online?

Online shares with online, offline shares with offline.

[pallid wave]

both are offline

[safe harness]

did you change any of the settings when creating the characters?

i forget what they are called exactly, something like solo, or self found

[pallid wave]

i did choose found character

to increase drop rates ? this means no sharing ?

[safe harness]

i don't believe that does anything other than having an extra challange of not having a shared stash

[pallid wave]

okay cool i just found disable solo challenge in settings

well i lost all the items i have gathered before hahahaha

all my crafting items too but at least it's shared now

oh and all my money too hahahahahaha

[strong walrus]

what is the best way to get a legendary ring like the oceareon?

[desert tree]

Farm empowered timeline that has ring echo reward

You can also add the Inc unique drop blessing and the Inc ring drop relic

[pearl sinew]

hi a question, what is your loot filter tip regarding exalted items?

im currently into monolith stage (lvl 80) and wondering to setup for exalted items in my loot filter

[cinder fossil]

personally i just show all exalteds and recolor mods im looking for (and all t7 mods)

[past patrol]

hi everyone, a real noob question (started playing a few days ago): I'm still having some difficulties evaluating weapons stat. currently using this as a javelin paladin (47) and can't understand what I need to look for in weapons, javelin is tagged as throwing so I think the melee stats on weapon are useless, is the spell damage (and % increased spell) the only thing I need?

[toxic echo]

kinda depends on what kinda of javelin build you are playing. if you are for instance, proc'ing spells from javelin (smite) spell is useful. if you are doing a hit build for javelin, spell isnt going to be helpful either.

however on the javelin skill, it says that if using a spear, your added melee on that weapon is treated as throwing.

so if you had 90 melee on a spear, you would get 30 throwing for jav

[past patrol]

I'm using this build: https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/paladin-leveling-guide
every exemple of weapons are staves

[toxic echo]

ah, yeah. so you want spell dmg for the holy trail dot

[past patrol]

ok so my current staff with +191% spell is extremely good, I found nothing else even remotely close to that

[toxic echo]

yeah it's pretty good. for this build, you arent really looking for any throw damage, since you are scaling spell and DoT

just keep upgrading the staff when you unlock the next tiers of them. the base spell is nice boosts

[past patrol]

ok, thanks a lot 🙂

[pearl sinew]

whats the strategy after empowering timeslin/monolith?

[toxic echo]

run up the right side (58,66,75,85) then do the three 90s, touch the chest between them to unlock. then go ham

[pearl sinew]

roger

thanks!

[past patrol]

are rune of ascendance better used at high level or while levelling?

[toxic echo]

nothing matters with those runes except what item you are using them on (helmet, gloves, etc). levels dont matter

[past patrol]

so using it right away can get me some nice unique that help leveling, nice

[toxic echo]

or get you a lvl 80 unique that you cant use. lol
