[wide sentinel]

well 4 players eu is the worst

[shrewd sandal]

Last time they played on MP release it wasn't playable

[wide sentinel]

so...hopefully on 1.0 is better

try playing 2 and 2 for now

[shrewd sandal]

I wonder if they will release the game like this cause it would be silly to launch MP game with disfunctional MP

[wide sentinel]

well they obviously working on it cause everyone were screaming abt it for like 8 months

but how good itll be no one knows

[surreal verge]

There's also the funny case of "Your mileage may vary" as some people's exprience is pretty okay.

[silent socket]

SO

i dropped an unique with legendary potential

how do i proceed

[hidden mica]

does penetration increase ignite damage? (I'm from poe where penetration only applies to hits)

[surreal verge]

Fire pen does, yes.

[obtuse gull]

anyone from EU experiencing big latency issues? hits not registering, mobs T posing while running at you 😄 performance is not the issue, changed EU servers already, didnt help

[merry thicket]

yeah, i summon my portal and it takes like 10 seconds for me to teleport.. its probably temporarly tho because i cant remember to have had this problem before

someone know if u buy the most expensive supporter pack does it give you the other ones too?

[merry aspen]

can someone link me to a build that uses potions? Class doesn't matter to me.

[merry aspen]

Are you talking about the supporter packs on Steam?

[wide sentinel]

no

[merry aspen]

Rude

[wide sentinel]

no i mean its impossible

[surreal verge]

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

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAwVmCYE4EYg

[wide sentinel]

there are no potion builds that are even remotely viable

[surreal verge]

And maybe falsefire, but that's kinda a support tool.

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzBsEYA5KA

[merry aspen]

A whole build, not just a a collection of items would be nice. But if it can't be done, shame.

[quartz blaze]

LEtools has build guides

Try to find a rogue build that uses burning daggers

[merry aspen]

I'm aware but the only build is from 8.4

[merry thicket]

yeah

[wide sentinel]

AcID FlAsK

[marsh maple]

sorry

misha

thats incorrect

[surreal verge]

Nope.
Elecoe support acid flash, which is rogue's worse skill.
Pillager's gold supports a decent skill, but the DoT version's better and it doesn't rely on the potion effect.
Fury is a support affix, and doesn't work by itself.

[marsh maple]

its ass-id flask

thank you very much

[merry aspen]

Then no, you have to buy every pack individually.

[wide sentinel]

yepp

[marsh maple]

so I played one recently but I wasnt a fan of it so I never made a video

but I plan on playing Pillagers Gold again after 1.0

maybe trade will make it easier

[wide sentinel]

honestly lich probably the only class that has good flask support from passive+grimuar

other classes dont care

[marsh maple]

since no one will be looking for exalted potion find gear

[merry aspen]

Care to give me the rundown?

[quartz blaze]

oh im tempest strike shaman day 1 in 1.0

[surreal verge]

Buring daggers is the exact same, nothing in 0.9 kinda helped it.

[marsh maple]

its insanely gear reliant so id have to redo it

they kinda nerfed it a bit with the changes which is sad

[merry aspen]

That build isn't even for rogue

[surreal verge]

Really? That's hilarious.

[merry aspen]

I don't mind. The skills and core items would do.

[surreal verge]

I got one as well.

[surreal verge]

I did an oopsie last time.

It IS all yellows.

[quartz blaze]

you really got it to 100 in that gear?

[surreal verge]

It hit base empowered.

[quartz blaze]

ah ok

i follow

[wide sentinel]

looks similar to decently minmaxed average sentinel build

[surreal verge]

I didn't hard push it yet

[wide sentinel]

[quartz blaze]

[surreal verge]

Cause I'm busy pushing shatter lance necro

[surreal verge]

[quartz blaze]

shatter lance necro isnt bad

it feels like it should be, but its not lol

[surreal verge]

I want living proof so that's why I was pushing it

[wide sentinel]

no jokes there were at least dozen people that came to #🔱┃sentinel with VK warpath build around 600-1k ehp saying they are having issues in monoliths

[surreal verge]

I've been busy with everyother game and it's very due

[surreal verge]

[surreal verge]

Yeah with SOME freeze support from minions it's very funny that it's working.

[quartz blaze]

can you even hit monos with 600hp?

doesnt your character just have more hp than that from levels

[surreal verge]

Sentinel at lv 100 has 912 base.

752 at lv 80

[quartz blaze]

lol poor abused neglected class

[surreal verge]

Sentinel and acolyte is TIED for highest base hp btw

[rough stone]

Hey guys, are there accessibility options in the game? Some of the text is hard to read due to the background colors and the font size.

[surreal verge]

The text also has a visual bug right now...

[last roost]

Hey all, quick question if anyone wouldn't mind. I am level 46 and I have a key for Soulfire Bastion which the internet says is an end game dungeon, should I just stash this for now?

[rough stone]

How so? I'm not sure if that's what I'm experiencing and are there no accessibility options at all int he game?

[marsh maple]

youd have to show me footage of that

[toxic echo]

there are no things to adjust font size yet. but there is a bug that gives certain text a weird background

[marsh maple]

im curious

[merry aspen]

If you can clear T1, go for it. You'll get more keys soon enough.

[rough stone]

Ah, so text accessbility will be added at release, potentially?

[toxic echo]

at some point yes, its been brought up along with lots of other accessability things. no real timetable on what is coming and when

[rough stone]

Thank you so much!

[last roost]

Not sure what T1 is either, I think I'll live and learn. If I die horribly I'll blame you 😉

Yolo and all that

[steel merlin]

sadly it is no longer an acid flask build as this last version is betetr with just decoy, but the best version i think would be getting even more skill points in decoy and going for flask on decoy explosion plus decoys own damage

[merry aspen]

Oh sorry, T1 stands for Tier 1. There are 4 difficulty tiers for each dungeon that are gated by level.

[last roost]

Ah right gothca, not seen a dungeon yet

[merry thicket]

will they be awailable after launch?

[merry aspen]

Tier 1 for Soulfire Bastion is level 45 so you can do it. No idea if you will be able to beat it though. But yeah give it a shot.

[merry aspen]

Not those exact ones. They will rotate for a new set at launch.

[merry thicket]

oh have they rotated before?

does the pets do anything for u ingame?

[steel merlin]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcpnoAONZCM this was an old version

[surreal verge]

No.

[merry thicket]

they dont even pick up shit from the ground?

[steel merlin]

i can record new one later, busy rn

[toxic echo]

everything mtx from EHG is pure cosmetic.

[last roost]

I'm cheating and folllowing a build guide which seems absurdly overpowered for levelling, I'll give it a go and see if I get humbled. Thanks for your replies, much appreicated 🙂

[merry thicket]

well yeah, but they should give u a base ingame pet and let u put skins on it

yk?

quality of life

[surreal verge]

You're not the first to suggest this, and also not the last.

[merry thicket]

yeah i asumed as much

[merry aspen]

They have not. The current set is the first one.

[merry thicket]

such a nice feature from D3

[surreal verge]

It has always been answered with "No" by the devs

[merry aspen]

Enjoy!

[merry thicket]

i hope it sticks around if i chose to get it later... idk about getting it rn

it didnt really make me WANT it rn

[marsh maple]

No secondary explosions?

[merry aspen]

The current ones will disappear on launch. If they ever return is a different story. But that is up in the air.

[merry thicket]

ah damn... i dislike shit like that

oh well

[steel merlin]

its right there

[marsh maple]

Ohhhh

I didn't see it in the planner

[steel merlin]

planner is different as i said a bit earlier

planner is no longer acid flask on decoy, but id need to do the math to see if its worth or not, didnt do it tbh

btw i discovered acid flask has a crit bug 😂

it has very slightly less crit chance that it should

[fiery rapids]

what blessing should I be picking here?

[surreal verge]

[last roost]

Is there anyway to see how much damage a minion does? In my specific case, wolves. I can see how much -extra- damage they do, but I may be blind and can't see the base DPS number anywhere. To be fair I'm not entirely sure why it matters, I just like numbers

[surreal verge]

They're all loot based for this one, so whatever you like.

[toxic echo]

can grab the base numbers off of lastepochtools or tunklab...and then math. the game doesnt show them (and the tooltips would be bad if they did anyways)

[last roost]

Ah ok, yeah that makes sense, thanks!

[surreal verge]

Nope, pen and paper please.
ALso tooltip dps is a liar soooooooooo one wouldn't help

[last roost]

Ha this is true, I think what I'm doing is trying to understsnd what items are an upgrade or not. For attacks I perform (mainly swipe) I can swap an item and see a dps number go up. That isn't the case for my wolves but I guess I can just track it by adding up all increased damage numbers in the minion panel but it does seem a little less slick

[steel merlin]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1167820446197088296

ave didnt give me a bee though 🥲

[surreal verge]

You might have done a fucky whucky in your calculations

[steel merlin]

Not likely as I asked several people

And all reached the same numbers in several calculations

And believe me, I tried a lot of combinations

[surreal verge]

?
5 base 24 +flat, 200% from skill nodes, and if you add another 54% increased is:
29% x 254% increased.

[steel merlin]

29x3.54

[surreal verge]

Okay yeah I did an oopsie

[sinful laurel]

bros, whats the website for the dungeon calendar again? I can't find it

[native umbra]

[shy lion]

If I take the "spell damage is leeched as health" in Lich, does Bone Curse damage count as spell damage?

[surreal verge]

Yes.

[shy lion]

Follow up: Will my minions attacking a Bone Curse enemy cause the "Spell damage is leeched as health" to proc?

[surreal verge]

That might count as their damage, fuck around and find out is the only way to figure that

[shy lion]

I thought since my Bone Curse spell is causing that damage, it might work if my minions hit it. Thank you.

[faint cape]

It's still you doing the damage (it's just a very tiny amount of damage)

Yes and probably yes

[surreal verge]

Yes and yes.

[willow jackal]

Anyone else experiencing an issue where you cannot play with any "online" characters? It just immediately says "Online play unavailable" like it isn't even trying to connect.

[misty helm]

not useful to your problem, but that's exactly why my lever is glued to 'offline'.

on topic, all the server sites say LE is up, so steam seems best culprit

[toxic echo]

its not super common, but not unheard of. can keep trying that server, or try the second best server. sometimes they just have some issues for a couple minutes.

[willow jackal]

Well, my intent is to try and play characters that could later trade and play with others. But yeah offline characters work just fine. I doubt it's steam as any other game handles multiplayer functions just fine for me. I've had this issue ever since I tried to pick the game back up a week or so ago

[misty helm]

rgr, by steam i meant integrity of files since unity+steam struggle with updates

intermittent? or never online since coming back?

[willow jackal]

Haven't been able to play with a single online character since coming back, both old ones and any new ones I've tried making. I'll try verifying files though, haven't done that yet

[misty helm]

yeah, thats the only common issue I can connect to this problem, not seen anything specific to not getting online

for sure holler if that doesn't help

I shall brainstorm (or more folks eill chime in after the verify files)

[willow jackal]

Well... it got even weirder. After verifying files, I logged into online play, which worked fine. I then noticed it was on US central servers, and I'm actually east coast, so I switched to east coast (even though it had slightly worse ping for some reason.) I then tried to log in with an online character, and the game minimized itself to popup Windows Defender, which said it was blocking some features. So I clicked yes to allow the game access, tabbed back into the game, annnd the game just crashed and force closed. 🙃

Tried again and crashed exactly the same, so the problem is reproducible.

[surreal verge]

Try another server

[willow jackal]

just tried US West which I hadn't tried before, exact same result, the game force closes, and another smaller window with a the Last Epoch "LE" in a circle logo appears, with a red exclamation mark in a smaller circle somewhere in it too, but it then also immediately closes before I can make out anything else on that window. That has been happening each time it crashes. The crashes always occur after about 10 seconds of it saying "connecting" for any given online character.

[toxic echo]

thats the unity crash

[willow jackal]

Also just tried running it as administrator, same result. Idk what else to try haha

[misty helm]

yeah, i habe the unity crash a lot lemme think back on fix

full exit of steam since yhe firewall change?

i think its reatarting unity, but i dont remember if that's just a stram restart or computer.

i also can solve it by loading the game like a dozen times in a row because i think the crash happens after it plods a little before crashing, so it finally sorts itself out.

not very high tech solves. 😉

but whenni go to game, its usually not my intent to think through the problem much.

i def get the unity crash often enough

[toxic echo]

there is no solid 100% way to fix unity right now. looking thru the CM's posts...unity and amd/nvidia sometimes dont seem to get along. lots of causes for it tho, which makes it hard. can always send in a support ticket, and get some help from LE's tech people

!support

[ripe brook]

Need a hand? Just head on down to https://support.lastepoch.com/ for support articles or to reach out to us directly.

[willow jackal]

Yeah, still crashing after full steam reboot. I agree Suik, I'm not good with troubleshooting tech stuff whatsoever, and when I pay for a game it's certainly not to have to spend time doing so just to be able to play the game. I guess I'll try support, but my experience with most support staff is them leading you down a million avenues you've already tried before finally giving up and saying it's just a "you" problem.

[toxic echo]

nah, LE knows they have a unity problem. its just a lot of different causes. but they likely have a better list of fixes than we do here

there was a community list, i just cant find it anywhere

[misty helm]

yarr. my old system had it a lot more often than my new system. i remember just clicking start game like 5-10 mins to get past it. if its worse than rip

and then it wouldn't happen again until next major patch

[willow jackal]

Hmm. If they are aware of unity issues, do you think those issues are a priority to fix and possibly getting fixed for the 1.0 release? If not I could see their 1.0 launch going poorly if any new people buy the game and run into this

[misty helm]

i misread their response to something like that the first time, but i think they just meant they had better answers

[toxic echo]

unity crashes and general server stability have been high priorities for a while. should expect some big fixes on 1.0

the unity thing has been around a while, i know people have fixes for various issues with it. i just cant find it anywhere

[misty helm]

yeah, i cant find them from my phone, and wont be at comp for a while. 😦
gl! wish i could help more

[willow jackal]

Oh well, I appreciate the help and feedback regardless!

Reading online, some people with similar issues have said using a vpn made it work. Anyone know any free, trustworthy vpns?

[tame parcel]

What are green items? I just got a green item called pebbles collar?

[hollow magnet]

Hey is possible to convert the damage of Glacier to fire damage? I'm just wondering because all of the icons on the skill tree are fire, but I haven't found a node that allows a conversion.

[toxic echo]

set items

[tame parcel]

r they rare or common?

gave a massive green beam so just curious

[toxic echo]

some set pieces are, some are not

most are not very good strength wise currently. but a few have uses

[tame parcel]

I sees

thanks

also where can you get Bo's Anarchy? aparently its a level 12 staff that i can use for levelling but idk where to get it

[toxic echo]

random global drop. just rng

[tame parcel]

ah i see,

ive gotten a body armour, helmet and amulet but sadly no staff :c

[toxic echo]

no. the skill node pictures dont really mean anything. next to the skill are all the conversions from the skill tree. glacier has none

[hollow magnet]

Thank you!

[covert bough]

why are there some mastery classes locked and how do you unlock them

[dense root]

falconer and warlock?

they aren't released yet

everything else should be unlocked by default

[sleek plinth]

hi i am having problems to use my display name

[wicked plover]

"Display name is already in use"

[misty helm]

finally read the item faction stuff; ngl, super sexy looking process. Even if it speed bumps a little on launch, I see it being a fantastic setup. Resonances really show understanding of the player base imo

[pulsar raft]

Hey all - had a question around trading & the different guilds. Can items dropped and tagged CoF be sold on the Bazaar/etc and the whoever buys them needs to then switch to CoF to use them or can those items not be sold/traded at all. Any link to information on this would be appreciated - ty!

[wicked plover]

nope, cof items cant be sold on bazar

[pulsar raft]

So the only way to trade CoF items is through the friend gifting system - which then they still need to also be CoF to use said item, correct?

[wicked plover]

correct

[faint cape]

While you are representing CF, none of the drops you find will be tradeable (you can still gift them).

[pulsar raft]

Got it ty! Anyone know if there's an article or video that explains this that I can send to someone? 😄

[faint cape]

The news article released a few days ago explains it pretty well for the most part

and has an embedded video

[wicked plover]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/trade-item-factions/61722

[misty helm]

I mean, every explanation leaves questions unanswered. 😉

[faint cape]

Yeah, that's what we're here for

[misty helm]

the article was my first real look at it, and I really liked that every concern I had reading about the idea seemed to ahve an answer. You can tell it was collabed and polished

[sleek plinth]

what a pitty all my usernames still in use

going to refund

[pulsar raft]

perfect - ty!

[keen ermine]

Hello there, coming back with the same question since i did not receive an answer to it, i keep disconnecting while im in towns, is this a known issue or its on my end only

[queen lava]

Howdy all, new player here. How does the cosmetic system work in this game? Can you accrue pets and wings naturally or only through purchase? Additionally, do pets serve a functional purpose? Thanks in advance!

[candid elm]

The devs have been very clear that all MTX is 100% cosmetic and the pets just follow you around. There's some free cosmetics you can get next month https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/twitch-drops-what-you-need-to-know-for-launch/61723.

[wicked plover]

regularly disconnecting in town is not smth i have personally encountered myself, i would assume its your connection, maybe run a test or smth to confirm

[queen lava]

Awesome info - thank you!

[candid elm]

There's currently a very small number of cosmetics in the game. A few couple that were for people to buy into the game years and years ago, which are no longer available. And then they more recently added 4 supporter packs here https://portal.lastepoch.com/shop.

As far as getting other cosmetics in the future, who knows. I wouldn't be surprised at all if most cosmetics are MTX, like PoE, with a small number you can earn from activities, like how PoE does league challenge cosmetic rewards or something like that.

[junior knoll]

Is there any plan/option to skip the campaign after youve completed it once? This is a huge drawback for me in PoE

[candid elm]

You can currently skip a good chunk of the campaign in Last Epoch. You reach the entrance to the end game, monoliths, somewhere in the 20s when you select your character Mastery.

You can go into monoliths whenever you're comfortable doing that. I did the campaign with one character and then skipped into monoliths on the following characters once I have 15/15 passives and 8/8 idols unlocked - which you'll get in beginning of Campaign Act 7. For comparison, I usually go into monoliths in the 40s and the first monolith area level is 58. But you don't even have to do that and can go into monoliths earlier if you want.

If you want to get the +1 all attribute quest from the end of Act 9 later, the exit of the Temporal Sanctum dungeon puts you into Act 9. Bit of a short cut. It's not a big deal if you just skip it, though. There's also the shortcuts in the other dungeons you could use to skip around even more.

[junior knoll]

Okay, thanks. THat seems kind of an odd way to do it and doesn't seem like much of a skip though.

[onyx briar]

Hey guys, i seem to remember that the game had a hotkey that would allow you to "lock" the screen in the state it was in when you were in a menu like the skills menu for example. and then you could move your mouse and hover over a different underlined term, and this would allow you to get more information. I don't remember what that hotkey was and i don't see it in the input keys options menu. anyone know he button i mean?

[candid elm]

@junior knoll If I wasn't clear before, you can skip the entire campaign if you get a higher level party member / friend to warp you to End of Time.

Doing that would miss the quests that give the extra passive points and idol unlocks. Somewhat similar to how you get the 20 passive points during the PoE campaign. You can always go back and do those quests later, though.

The info I wrote about getting the unlocks and getting into the 40s first is how I do it. You do it however you want. The answer to your question is no, you are not currently required to go through all of the acts to unlock the endgame like it is with PoE. If you don't have someone to warp you there, you'd normally reach End of Time in the 20s single player.

[candid elm]

Alt key gives additional information on some skills, is that what you were thinking about?

[onyx briar]

no not quite, when i last played a few months ago, there was a key you could hit and it would like "freeze" the screen as a still so that you could move the mouse and any tooltips that were open would not close, so if the tooltip had a an underlined term included in it, you could then hover over that and it would opened up another tooltip for more info

[desert tree]

Does not ring any bell

[wicked plover]

every underlined term will be described in detail if you press alt, maybe try ctrl+alt for even more detailed description

[desert tree]

Yeah, I cant "stick" a tooltip

Maybe it was on LastEpochTools.com

[toxic echo]

it was like z or shift z...dammit said something like that yesterday

[desert tree]

But thats on his website

[toxic echo]

its why they hadda switch tooltips from z to alt z by default

[onyx briar]

so it was a thing? cause im having a serious bearenstein/bearenstain moment over this hotkey, like maybe i dreamed it

[desert tree]

You can always try your luck in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs

[faint cape]

Yup, only a feature on LE Tools, and the key is Z (assuming you did it a while ago, it would have been Shift then)

[faint cape]

In game, the hotkey that used to be bound to Z by default was changed to be bound to Alt+Z by default to reduce the likelihood of accidentally pressing it and not realizing they aren't getting any loot until they see a unique item beam and wonder why they can't see any items (Alt+Z in game hides all items on the ground)

I still recommend to everyone they just unbind that feature unless they actively use it, but overall it's unrelated to the LE Tools feature. Closest thing in game is holding Alt to show more info.

[midnight basin]

Is loot better in the empowered Monoliths or will i still mostly see 95% of the same garbage with an occasional standout?

[native sail]

I mean it does get better but you shouldn't be seeing garbage, frankly. Means you probably aren't using your filter well.

[midnight basin]

im using the maxroll squirrel build filter and tbh 99% of what i see is garbage very few items are craftable usually just stuff to shatter

[toxic echo]

no filter you find on the internet is going to be better than one you tweak yourself. adjust the filter to your needs

[native sail]

Yeah, you're using a bad filter lol

As Eagles said, no filter you download is going to be better than one you make by hand

[faint cape]

Yep, and to make a good filter, you'll want to know the basics of crafting and know what you need. In general, if you notice a pattern in things you see that are useless, you should tweak your filter to remove those things that you never care about.

[midnight basin]

I've got a good grasp on crafting for the most part, coming from PoE this is a breeze to understand

Just gotta take the time to actually build my own filter

[faint cape]

The first time it might take you a little bit of time to kick the wheels around, but it's very effective

you save significantly more time than you spend if you take the time to do it well

(along with time spent on continuous improvements)

[candid elm]

If you'd like to look at some guides on making filters, there's some basic general filters on the forums https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/0-9-2-heavyz-casual-loot-filters-for-all-classes-v3-1/25176
Which also includes some info on making a filter. There's also additional info on making filters on Maxroll https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/resources/loot-filter-guide and the maxroll build guides have filters for each build on the last page of the build guides. LE Tools also has some filters and a filter making tool https://www.lastepochtools.com/loot-filters/

[toxic echo]

Havent heard any issues at all in the years its been going

[candid elm]

Yes. It's just the xml file contents. You can instead download it xml file and put it in the filter folder, if you prefer

Yeah. Whatever works best for you

[boreal mirage]

Once you get to "end of time" w/ one char, do u have to do it again if u re-roll a new char ?

[sinful laurel]

Yup

[vivid veldt]

hey guys, I'm new to the game and I'm having an issue that I can't figure out... I made a Paladin (sentinel), and after a couple of levels I get a swirl attack (initially bound to W)... sometimes when I press it, it acts as I would expect (only spins while im holding the button down)... other times it seems to "lock in", and continues after i have stopped pressing the key/button

it spins until i am out of mana, which is feeling bad... is this a bug or am I not understanding the mechanics of how this ability works?

[native sail]

That'd be Warpath and that's a bug that exists solely in online afaik. Just click another ability or tap the button a couple times and it should stop.

[vivid veldt]

man, really? seems like a devastating bug to the 2nd ability you get 10 minutes into the game

isnt this game releasing next month?

has that bug always been there or did it just crop up?

[native sail]

It's an issue with the underlying system of the skill in relation to the servers, so it's been around since online came out but it's a low priority bug since it isn't game breaking and barely affects the ability itself.

[vivid veldt]

... low priority?

wow.. well, ok thanks for the help

[native sail]

Yes, low priority. It doesn't break anything and is a mild inconvenience at worst.

[vivid veldt]

it affects me greatly, half the time im running out of mana. it adds something i need finger/mental dexterity for, as a newbie it adds to my workload

that is a huge bug in the game, if you ask me

[native sail]

And you're in the minority there. Sorry, that's just the situation.

[vivid veldt]

it may be ok for hardcore people who are already adept at all this, but... how can such a bug exist 10 minutes into the game on such a base ability? are there any other abilities that get affected by this in the paladin skill tree?

why don't they just remove the ability

[native sail]

Removing the ability is far, far worse than just leaving alone the minor bug in its function. It's the only ability that I'm aware of that has that particular issue. Some other channeled abilities have their own problems but nothing of the same nature and all of them are known about. They moved away from pushing large bug patches a while ago because each patch they put out would extend the amount of time it would take to finish 1.0, easier to bundle into one patch with the release.

[vivid veldt]

welp, thanks for the info... i completely disagree with your estimation that it's a "minor annoyance", the game is releasing in a bit over a month and there is a glaring bug in the second skill a newbie gets as a paladin

[native sail]

You're welcome to disagree. Opinions are opinions. There's no right or wrong on this situation, just a majority and a decision.

[vivid veldt]

well im still filing a bug, you're not a dev on the game are you?

[native sail]

No, I'm just a community member who keeps tabs on information from them.

[vivid veldt]

heh, alright

[deft plume]

heres a dumb question, i havent played the game although ive owned it for a yr plus. With the release coming up im wondering how different will the 1.0 version be to now? will it wipe should i play now or will systems be different

[native sail]

It won't wipe, all current progress will go to legacy (the equivalent of PoE's standard league or Diablo's eternal realm).
There will be two new masteries (Warlock for Acolyte and Falconer for Rogue), a bit of a rework to Shaman and some Shaman/Primalist skills, a slight rework to the core endgame, new items as with every content patch, and the faction system. And a balance pass but we don't have an estimation of how large.
Personal opinion different enough that it'll be noticeable but not different to the point where you're going to have to relearn anything.

[haughty pumice]

Can I migrate a character from SC SAF to SC?

[native sail]

Should be able to yeah

I think it's in the settings if you log in on the character?

[haughty pumice]

ty!

[distant compass]

"+5 fire damage to skills" does this add 5 flat to non-fire skill? If ye, does this 5 flat scale then with incr fire(no fire tag on skill) or with incr anything that's tag [like bow,throwing etc]?

[native sail]

Yes to all.

[distant compass]

thank you

[native sail]

Except minions (or subtypes of them), minions need it to say minion in it to be affected

[distant compass]

Yup i mean like dex boots thing or unique bows that do this

[native sail]

Then yeah, if it doesn't name something specific it's to everything applicable

[distant compass]

cool then no need to convert skills sometimes, if it has 1 flat phys or anythinf and i just bumb 50 dex for 50 flat cold to all skills and just scale cold for all?

[native sail]

That works. I assume you're looking at Mourningfrost?

[distant compass]

ye atm

[native sail]

It's an interaction used for a few different builds with those boots that work quite well. Often used for bowmage with Dragonsong or Reign of Winter because their built in scales have very high effective added damage.

[pulsar raft]

Are characters wiping when game full releases?

Seems like - it goes to legacy - will there be a "season" when it releases then?

[minor vigil]

ye

[native sail]

Yes. As stated earlier in #💬┃general by Muffin, they say no wiping because nothing is being deleted.

[frigid jungle]

the game got servers in sa or not yet?

[indigo dew]

Help me
I have Monolith tasks: The fall of the outcasts closes the task of the main plot, how can I fix it? I've been pumped by other people

[sinful laurel]

That seems like private information...

[surreal verge]

You can fix it by NOT tapping on the skill and instead actually holding the button.

[vivid veldt]

yeah i googled around and saw other peopl reporting this going back as far as march... some said it existed before online, but i dont know. thanks, yeah im not in game currently but ill be playing with it

[surreal verge]

It's a weird bug to be sure, which is why it's lower on the piority, and probably because it can be self fixed in its own way

[vivid veldt]

well i am not of that mind, but... i hear ya, thanks

[surreal verge]

It's also on EVERY channeling skill, not just warpath.

Sooooo

Makes it somewhat harder to pinpoint

[vivid veldt]

what is "channeling", the effect where it lasts as long as you have the button pressed?

[surreal verge]

Yes, it's also a skill tag.

[vivid veldt]

ok

it kinda sucks cuz it seems like a really powerful skill at the beginning, like OP almost... i dont know if its a skill that is often used in more high level builds or whatever

[desert tree]

It's a fairly popular skill

[surreal verge]

Aha.
It's the most common skill to report this bug on because it's the most common leveling sentinel skill

Even used in some end game builds.

[vivid veldt]

nod

[surreal verge]

Other skills that can also cause this bug is disintegrate from mage, shield rush from sentinel, and a few other channeling skills, but most people don't just tap the button that would cause the bug

[undone otter]

FWIW as we've gotten closer to 1.0, we're focusing less on many patch/releases for bug fixes and more focusing on our Community Testing leading up to 1.0 🙂

that doesn't mean we don't have a fix

[vivid veldt]

welp, sounds like community testing is doing a pretty good job with this particular bug! 😂

[undone otter]

but I def get your frustration ❤️

just don't assume its not something we haven't fixed internally - not saying we DO have a fix - but we often do

we've just drastically slowed down patches

[vivid veldt]

nod

[undone otter]

opting to focus more on a full bug fix pass for 1.0

we used to release every week

[desert tree]

Can't wait to read the 3 pages of the bugfix section in the patch note

[surreal verge]

[vivid veldt]

just seems like a pretty pervasive bug that shows up early and is definitely not "working as intended"... but everyone's resigned to the fact it wont be fixed and "just work around it." and I get that, but I am fairly new to ARPGs and its adding to things i have to do... ya know, like, "I cant use this skill without turning it off with another"

i dunno, odd thing

makes me not wanna even use it

i guess i could just play offline, i guess its less common there, but i was hoping to participate in the trade stuff that recently got announced

[desert tree]

I mean it's not a "work around it". You are supposed to hold the key and not tap it.

[undone otter]

ya no argument here, was just trying to explain that no public fix is not equal to no fix

[vivid veldt]

if you just tap it, it should just spin for a tiny amount of time 🙂

[surreal verge]

THis is one of the bugs that happens also on offline

[undone otter]

and letting you know how we've slowed down releases on purpose to put all our focus on 1.0

[surreal verge]

(ALso to note this is a recurring bug afaik, it was fixed previously but came back to bite)

[vivid veldt]

i hear ya.. i have users in here telling me "you're doing it wrong"... ahh, no, im definitely not 🙂

[native sail]

Is it? That's newer than the start of the bug then, when it first cropped up in 0.9 it was online only. Weeeird.

[surreal verge]

Really? I swear it happens on offline as well, tho I'm not sure rn

Well,someone's going to find out

[vivid veldt]

of the other reports i found on the web, most said it didnt happen offline, but a couple said it did (they could very well be mistaken)

[surreal verge]

Nah, what I told you is the "workaround" right now.

[vivid veldt]

Pvt.Vlad — Today at 1:52 AM
I mean it's not a "work around it". You are supposed to hold the key and not tap it.

wasnt talking about you, mate

[native sail]

It's definitely an odd bug, it existed in 0.9, got patched out in one of the bugfixes back then, and then came back in 0.9.1
Boss pushing is the same

[vivid veldt]

well the fact that it got fixed once is a good sign i reckon

[surreal verge]

Let's not talk about the fact that an untouched skill somehow got a wild bug a while back

LE bugs are weirddddd

[native sail]

Flurry insisting on not getting fixed is one of my favorites

[spare pewter]

Channel skills suffering from press and releases problems it’s a lot more complicated to resolve then it appears on the surface. We had to do multiple related fixes to make them more durable, think it’s related to server/client delay which is a huge can of worms (not a quick fix).

Pushing bug is something I have personally aimed to resolve for bosses and large enemies. It had to be done on an enemy per bases, it will be ready for players for 1.0.

For flurry as well as detonating arrows have been suffering from many different weird problems. They were not easy to resolve. It’s not that we didn’t know about them, it’s that unraveling why they were doing that they were doing not an easy fix. Many problems, I am very confident we will resolve them by 1.0.

I love how flurry and I have patiently been waiting to play it again once our team has fixed the bugs, trust me, it’s not just you guys that want it to be fixed asap. 😭

[wide sentinel]

i wish it will get fixed, my fav build on sentinel which is bleed/ignite shield rush suffers a lot from it, at least u can play around this bug with loss of dps but still

cross fingers

[spare pewter]

I understand. I actually talked about my concerns about channeling skills internally with our production last week. We have eyes on it. I’ll do the best I can to ensure they feel better at 1.0. If we don’t meet that goal I’ll work heavy to make sure the following patch aims to address those problems.

[wide sentinel]

it seems like in case of shield rush it has to do startup animation, which is short but exists for all channeling skills iirc, because as soon as you start moving on SR you can safely let go and not get stuck, but if you just tap u get bugged

[native sail]

Me too

[wide sentinel]

well now im playing by training myself to let go as soon as i can, without tapping,and works ok even tho not perfect, so at least build is playable

[wide sentinel]

good luck!! seems like there is lotsa bug fixing for the team to do, is hard

[spare pewter]

I understand the bug. I been playing flame rush internally recently off the lock. Channel skills currently don’t like being tapped, I don’t have the technical knowledge of why they are suffering from this problem, but if it was an easy fix we would have done it asap.

[surreal verge]

Yeah I kinda expect some of the bugs to be very "What the heck is happening"

[wide sentinel]

one day, we believe even if its not 1.0

[spare pewter]

Majority of the time bugs don’t get address right away it is because they are lower prio or they have technical problem that only certain people in the company have the knowledge to address. Normally those people are busy doing a lot of other extremely important things. 😦

I think there is a really sad mindset that we don’t care about bugs when we do, we resolve bugs that will never see the light of day. There is just never enough time to do everything. It sucks.

[wide sentinel]

i dont think anyone seriously thinks about bugs that way, or if they do they are just ranting

i think people tend to think that way about balance, but oh well the game is just coming out cant do everything

[vivid veldt]

no worries, i'm an older guy who worked in IT for a long time, I am well aware of "domains of expertise" and the fact that bugs are often under a pile of other junk. just glad to know its still being worked on 👍

[wide sentinel]

ya besides now with 2 classes and factions i bet there are as many new bugs as we have already

[spare pewter]

The pile never goes away lol. No matter what haha.

[vivid veldt]

nope

[spare pewter]

But I want to assure you we have a lot of super passionate people working here. We care a lot and we play a lot of our own game. We don’t want bugs either. The team reports bugs as much as the community. lol

[vivid veldt]

👍

[spare pewter]

You have no idea how many time I have no shame asked a dev to fix a bug just so I could play a certain build 🤣

[surreal verge]

[spare pewter]

“You don’t understand, THIS IS HIGH PRIO”

“I NEED TO PLAY IT THIS WEEKEND”

“DEAD. LINE.”

[wide sentinel]

really? jajajaja what deadline

[autumn basin]

When I read the Reddit for this game, I always see people commenting about massive rubberbanding issues and lag. I've played online, and I don't ever experience lag or rubberbanding. Not trying to say it doesn't happen for others, but I've been having a great experience with this game online. I've had much worse issues with rubberbanding and lag issues in Diablo 4.

[wide sentinel]

thats usually on eu servers or when u live in remote area, in na from my experience and what i heard its more or less ok

[autumn basin]

Yeah, I'm also in NA as well. Fair point you made, though.

[surreal verge]

It's super server and "luck" dependant

No issue in Asia SE

[steel merlin]

Can confirm eu server is weird

[elder dagger]

What is the best way to try and make this into a good chest armor?

• to Warpath and +health are good. In the open prefix I want strength, also easy, but how do I best go about that unwanted health regen suffix?

Should I make two attempts with a Glyph of Chaos, or gamble with a Rune of Removal?

[low coyote]

What's the base?

[desert tree]

I would chaos it. It's not an exalted, so you will probably end up changing it at some point

[elder dagger]

Would you explain? Once I use up the forging potential there is no way to change it further, or is there?

[elder dagger]

Dawn Plate (550 armor)

[low coyote]

He means you'll replace the armour with something else later

So if you mess it up, there's no big loss

The chaos is the bigger risk there, as there's so many potential outcomes you hit, while there's a 1/3 chance you remove the right thing with rune of removal.

It's only a Tier 2 warpath, so it's really not that valuable an item to work from.

[elder dagger]

Chaos also has the advantage that I'll start at a higher tier if I hit.
With rune of removal I have to start at T1, so very likely I won't reach 4xT5 before I run out of forging potential

Or am I missing something? Still new to crafting

[low coyote]

This is definitely an item I'd go riskier on and hope

you are right about the chaos advantage.

[elder dagger]

So Glyph of Chaos?

[low coyote]

Yeah

probably end up with dodge 😛

[elder dagger]

Enede up with fire resistance which I anyways have overcapped ...

The strength scaling of Warpath (4% damage per STR), is that additive or multiplicative with other sources of increased damage?

[icy drift]

it's increased, so additive

[thin elk]

What are good values for small Idols? Is Health regen a think or should i only Look for Health and Vita in generel

[toxic echo]

health and vit are fine but w.e 1x1 you get, isnt changing much, numbers are just too small...really best is the 1x2 idols cuz they can roll health on both slots.

[thin elk]

So Health is always the way to Go? Or should i Go for damage sometimes or „elemental res or ward retention“ and so on?

Regardless of the Class, just for pick up and keep it maybe because its good

[wicked plover]

nothing stops you from using smaller idols to fill up your stats until you get proper gear

[toxic echo]

health helps everything. if you are in a ward build sure, you can get some retention. the damage % idols arent as great, cuz you get so much dmg%'s from skills and gear, and passive trees to the point the returns you get on it isnt good enough to take over health

[surreal verge]

Health and resists would be your defaults if looking for 1x1s

Or even mana

But yeah other then that

[toxic echo]

there are some build exceptions, that need to take specific idols, like flame wraiths, or smite on hit...but mostly just health and touch up res

[thin elk]

Thanks a Lot, that Helps for editing my lootfilter 😊

[thin elk]

But that Are always big Idols?

[surreal verge]

Yeah in the context of 1x1s, health, resists and mana are the defaults I think

[toxic echo]

^

[thin elk]

1x1 and 1x2 But think Health is best 😂

[fresh oar]

I have a passive skill for two weapons, but I can’t equip the second weapon. What is the reason?

[wicked plover]

does it specify which type of weapons you can put in off hand

for example spellblades can only but swords in offhand, it should say in the description

[fresh oar]

Two one-handed swords. Here's the build. https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/3ApREDwB

That's right, I'm inattentive. Thank you

[worthy gazelle]

Hi all, I'm following a build that I found online. I am a new player, fairly new to the genre and completely new to Last Epoch. Currently, I am level 61 on my Runemaster. I was wondering how to go about finding gear and upgrading it. I understand how the upgrading system works. I know what the runes, affixes and glyphs do, but I'm not sure what to do if the forging potential of an item reaches 0 and I don't have all the desired affixes on it yet.

For example, according to the build, I need to put 4 certain affixes on my helmet. What should I do if I manage to get 2 of them on my helmet and cannot get the other 2, because the forging potential is already 0? Do I just get another helmet from a drop and try again? Do I transfer the affixes from my current helmet to the new one? Is that even possible?

I guess what I'm asking is: how should I approach gearing strategy as someone who just reached the Monolith of Fate? Hopefully you can help me.

[wicked plover]

short answer: yes, find a new helmet and try again until you get the stats you want

[toxic echo]

if FP reaches 0, crafting on that item is done. basically bricked. yes, thats the game gear grind. crafting is likel going to end in failure a lot of the time. and getting better gear just keeps raising the bar. dont try making every helmet perfect. adjust your loor filter to only show helmets that have 1/2 affixes you want already, so its easier to get more of what you want at higher tiers

you also still have a bit of a ways to go, you havent unlocked all the base item types yet. and i dont even think you can craft a t20 item yet (4x t5 affixes). so dont worry about getting perfect gear currently, and set some shorter goals for your gear

[wicked plover]

also dont break your neck to get EXACTLY all affixes from your guide on exactly the same items
fire resist on helmet for example should give you a clue that you need fire resistance, got that somewhere else? cool, you can use another suffix on your helmet then

there are exceptions to this, generally you can only get movement speed on boots and so on, but you will figure that out along the way

[worthy gazelle]

I see, thank you very much! @wicked plover @toxic echo
I have a small follow up question: wont I run out of upgrading materials very fast when I'm constantly finding new gear and upgrading them? Or do I never have to worry about running out?

[wicked plover]

most generic affix shards you will have more than enough along the way

stuff like +skills is more rare, but you can filter those and shatter to get the shards

[toxic echo]

you get tons of basic crafting mats, but if you craft on every piece you will run out. as long as you are a little selective, you wont run out of the basic stuff.

the rare stuff, +skills, pen, despair glyphs, hybrid health, those use sparing and when you are feeling really good on an itme

[worthy gazelle]

Awesome, thank you!!

[worthy gazelle]

I'm getting absolutely wrecked by the Shade of Orobyss. Last killing blow is void damage, even with 93% void resistance. Does anyone have any tips for surviving it?

[dense root]

93 void res is too much to begin with

since resistances over 75% do nothing except in corner case situations that won't apply here

[toxic echo]

dont get hit tbh. a lot of his moves should be avoided beyond that...more health

the cool thing with orobyss tho, is that all his nodes are different. so if one is a struggle...just pick a different one

[dense root]

if all you're doing for defenses is building resistances you're going to struggle

but also yeah boss attacks are mostly not intended to be tanked and even well built characters won't survive most of the bigger boss attacks

you just have to learn the telegraphs and move out of the way

[worthy gazelle]

Oh I had no idea, thank you!

[worthy gazelle]

What do you recommend I build besides resistances? I thought resistances was all I needed 😅

[dense root]

everyone should cap crit avoid or reduced bonus damage taken from critical strike

hp builds should invest in hp + % endurance

ward builds should invest in ward retention

then you typically want armor or dodge or both

skills/items that offer % damage reduction are also really powerful but there isn't like a stat for that that you just craft

[worthy gazelle]

Understood, thank you!

[faint cape]

Also watch out for what active enemy modifiers you have when you go into the fight. The one that makes them enraged under half health is particularly dangerous for bosses

[toxic echo]

enrage and frenzy are a no no

[brazen valley]

For bow Rogue, why do builds tend to choose for flurry with the multishot specialization rather than casting multishot directly?

[sinful laurel]

Because it's broken as fuck right noe

And when it's not, there are some bonuses to channeling flurry

Affix bonuses while channeling for one. And not having to spec Ms for attack speed at all for anothrr

And you can almost maintain mana with channeled flurry ms

[brazen valley]

Gotcha, cheers.

[crude jewel]

what happen to the items i already have if i join a guild?

[faint cape]

Nothing

[crude jewel]

are they ALL get marked that guild? dont they get marked?

they dont get marked?

[faint cape]

no

[crude jewel]

i see

[vapid crow]

So I just bought the game and playing for the first time, I am asked to choose region. Are characters created on a region stuck on that region or can I play any character on any region?

[toxic echo]

any region

[faint cape]

The only items that get tagged with a faction requirement are items gotten through that faction's mechanics/bonuses - all items you have from before couldn't have possibly been gotten through stuff you didn't have access to

[vapid crow]

Awesome, thanks!

[frail knot]

There's a quest near Majelka where you find a merchant, and there's some dialogue options to get him to offer you more gold. Just because I'm curious, does anyone know if he will pay out the 80,000 option?

[wide sentinel]

[wicked plover]

try it out, but wear your sexy clothes to seduce him

[cedar locust]

Never managed it personally

[shrewd prism]

sorry if this isnt really the channel to ask but does anyone know if there are plans to fix the movement rubberbanding by launch

really want to play the game with some friends but i think that it will turn them off to have that weird stuttering on things like rogue dash

[toxic echo]

there are many many bug fixes coming with 1.0

[shrewd prism]

really hope they manage to fix it, i want this game to completely blow up on launch TT

[frail knot]

Can I invite a level 1 alt into monos/empowered monos and get them xp and gear quickly?

[weak lark]

is anyone else having trouble with the loot filter?\

[toxic echo]

well gear would drop at the area level...so they wouldnt get gear for a bit. and they need to stay within a screen or so to even get xp...which one stray anything is going to kill them. but yes, its possible to powerlevel someone else

[toxic echo]

what are you having an issue with specifically

[weak lark]

doesnt seem to filter out gear from other classes

[toxic echo]

its not going to unless you specifically tell it to block certain bases/class affixes. not normally a big issue tho. the drops are weighted towards your class very heavily. shouldnt see more than one or two on occasion

[dense root]

yes but likely not in the way you expect

[weak lark]

gotcha it still drops like swords, cleavers and such but i swear i marked them as hidden

[toxic echo]

it still might depending on what affixes you have marked...since weapons are not class locked. only armours, helmets, relics.

also order matters as well. if you have something triggering the item above your hide rule

[faint cape]

If your hide rule is below show/recolor, it won't take priority over those

[weak lark]

ok ill try to recolor and check the order i have my rules in, thanks guys!!

[quick escarp]

hey Ixziga, i'm here

[lament perch]

That's me, 1 sec I'm writing it up

[quick escarp]

k

if screenshots aren't allowed just DM me i guess

[lament perch]

I have a helmet with "+ level of runic invocation" but it's not triggering the loot filter rule I expect it to.

[quick escarp]

yeah

[quick escarp]

that's what you said in chat 😄 got a screenshot of your loot filter?

ah okay

so

[quick escarp]

when an item drops

it 'hits' on the very first rule, from top to bottom

and if it matches a rule, it stops there and doesn't keep going

so you need to put your recolor rules at the top

i'm assuming it's getting a hit on the first or second rule

[lament perch]

the top two rules only apply to weapons

but I moved the recolor to the top and it's not hitting

[quick escarp]

ah

can i see the full rule itself? not the affixes

[quick escarp]

like, what's behind this window

[lament perch]

ok

Oh you know what

[quick escarp]

😄

[lament perch]

It's set to only pick up 2 affixes

[quick escarp]

yup

[lament perch]

I think I made that edit to the wrong rule

Thanks dude

[quick escarp]

for what it's worth, i recommend changing the way your LF works as you approach endgame

[lament perch]

In what way

[quick escarp]

sec

swapping chars so i can screenshot...

i really ought to put LE on my SSD, the load times are getting crazy

[lament perch]

Oh man, yeah spinning drives are getting very out-dated

NVME's are even cheap nowadays

[quick escarp]

so here's what all my endgame level 100 lootfilters look like

https://i.imgur.com/Xl8D8WC.png

the blue rule is, ANY ITEM with at least 2 affixes that i want (i assume i can craft the other 2 on)

the red rule is just whatever shards i'm currently looking for

the blue rule is also limited by item base

it's way easier to set up this way and works just as well

[lament perch]

Makes sense

[quick escarp]

this also means i can copy-paste the filter to other characters

and very quickly get it swapped over to their needs, just by checking the affixes for their BiS gear

while the red rule always stays the same between all characters, since i'm always looking for rare shards no matter what char

when i reach endgame, i then go in and check only the highest level item bases, or exactly the bases i want, for the blue rule

but it's like, way way less maintenance to get a usable filter

[lament perch]

Yeah

Alright, thanks for the help and info

[quick escarp]

npnp 😄 if anyone else ever wants any help with loot filters, especially turning a crappy and overtuned lastepochtools autogenerated lootfilter into something that's actually usable, ping me

[lament perch]

Yeah nice and simple

[quick escarp]

also rename your rules so it's easy to tell what they are

"SHOW 4 TYPES WITH 2 OF 16 AFFIXES" is like

impossible to parse at a glance

each rule looks the same, gotta open them up to see what they are

but you can just rename them, "helmet rule" "gloves rule" etc

[lament perch]

Yeah I think I edited the wrong one earlier to cause that issue

[quick escarp]

give everything its own color, and keep your colors consistent between characters

red is always shatter fodder for me 😄 blue is "pre-BiS" then i change it to green once i reach level 70 or so and limit it to exactly the item bases i want

[eager galleon]

Do blessings affect mono boss drop rates? Like if I wanted a specific relic from a boss and have a blessing that increases relic rates, would that help or is the boss drop rates separate?

[surreal verge]

If you pick char found, that char will not be able to share stuff via stash with other chars.

(By default stashes are account wide)

[quick escarp]

yeah you have to specifically check the 'solo selffound' box to get ssf

or whatever it's called in LE

[faint cape]

When offline, you are "SSF" in PoE terms. In LE terms, it's called Solo Account Found (SAF). The checkbox to enable the Solo Challenge in offline mode has incorrect text that explains SAF (which is the online version of Solo Challenge) - enabling to Solo Challenge in offline sets the character in Solo Character Found (SCF), which means that character has its own exclusive stash and cannot share anything with any other characters. SCF is not available in online yet, but will be at 1.0 unless it got axed.

[fickle mantle]

hi all, New to the game, New to the discord, I've been having a blast but I had to afk for a while and got dc'ed, when I try to reconnect back in I just crash. Every time I try, I get to the character and then "Connecting" then crash...

[strong mantle]

Hey guys - anyone seen this error before? I was doing some quests, suddenly it lagged and got me DCed (Im thinking I got DCed while doing the quest and moving to a different Era). Next thing I know is I can't login my character anymore

[fickle mantle]

pretty much my same problem

[strong mantle]

Ops @fickle mantle sounds like we have the same issue bro

[toxic echo]

thats a unity error. there are a lot of causes for it. can try waiting a bit, or just keep trying to brute force it. if its a connection thing, try logging into a differnet server. restarting the computer might fix some stuff. like i said, tons of causes for it right now

worst case, reach out to support

!support

[ripe brook]

Let's work together to get it sorted! We've support articles and a contact form here: https://support.lastepoch.com/.

[fickle mantle]

imma keep trying for a good 10 minutes then restart pc and see if that works

if not then... I guess back to zomboid?

[strong mantle]

@fickle mantle the server switching thing resolved mine
thanks man @toxic echo

[fickle mantle]

hmm, Really don't wanna do that because the rest are yellow and red ping but... guess that's the only option left

[toxic echo]

once you get it, good chance going back to the green server will be fine. sometimes you just gotta get back in to get things going

[fickle mantle]

oh, that's a good idea, I'll try that thanks!

yep, logging on a different server worked, imma try going back to green ping

@toxic echo yep, that fixed it. Thanks a bunch!

[shy lion]

Does Infernal Shade with Combustion node explode only if it wears off naturally, or will it explode when the mob is killed?

[zealous orchid]

Has anyone done a serious LE vs POE comparison? Like for ex this item faction system blows trade and ssf from POE out of the water.

I've also heard LE crafting is better then POEs. But POE has wayy better endgame

[wide sentinel]

how can you compare when u dont know much abt LE on release, trade and cof changes everything we know abt game now

i think casuals will enjoy the game way more other than that cant say for sure

[buoyant sinew]

loads of people have done it, the problem is everything is so subjective (and it also tends to result in lots of arguments because of that)

like there's really not much you can get everyone to agree on besides really basic things like "LE is more beginner friendly" or "PoE has more content"

for example, if you're a believer in PoE's trade philosophy then LE's trade system "sucks" because it violates some key principles of that philosophy.

or if you're a super duper no life player you'll probably prefer PoE's crafting to LE's because it gives you more tools to make great items whereas making great items in LE is very RNG-dependent

I'm not saying any of that is right or wrong, to be clear. my point is just that it devolves very quickly into what you personally want from a game, so trying to make a comparison can really only be done for you personally

[analog wadi]

thats why there sint a perfect arpg

its arbitrary

[dense root]

we had some people complaining about le trade being too restrictive the other day yeah

[wide sentinel]

i like how trade is, no flipping and no currency other than gold

game shouldnt be a market simulator there are plenty other games for that

[dense root]

as best i can tell a majority of those people were mad they can't make money by playing the market instead of the game so imo if they leave good riddance

[faint cape]

It explodes on death

[dense root]

but still it highlights the point that there isn't one strictly correct answer

[faint cape]

basically whenever the shade actually ends

[wide sentinel]

ya idk those people are parasites of arpgs imo, only raising prices for normal players

[shy lion]

Thank you.

[zealous orchid]

ah i can see how its all down to personal taste then i guess. tbh i thought POEs crafting was wayyy more RNG then LEs tho? ( i legit didnt know that it was the other way around ). imo u cant really defend the trading system tho in POE when its all done outside the game which just permotes botting and RMT. also idk how anyone can defend POE SSF vs LE circle of fortune. i can definitly see the really basic things for sure.

[zealous orchid]

whats also funny is that POE 2 is using gold to as its only currency.

[wide sentinel]

thank god

honestly poe 1 currency system is such a mess

[zealous orchid]

tru

[wide sentinel]

literally international banking systme

who needs that

[faint cape]

Yes, but in PoE it's a mixed bag due to how the trading works... if there aren't people actively trading, you can't trade. LE won't have that issue since it's async

[wide sentinel]

async?

wdym

[faint cape]

Like, you don't have to physically open a trade window with somebody who is also online and actually answers

[safe harness]

You can sell items while offline

[wide sentinel]

ahhh true

big bonus

[faint cape]

asynchronous

in PoE I am happy for tradebots because they answer lol

in LE, no issue

[sinful laurel]

you're asking repeated questions that are, every single one, completely subjective

[buoyant sinew]

the crafting determinism kinda flips based on what level of item you're trying to craft IMO.

in PoE it's basically impossible to take an existing item and make it better, you have to start from scratch (and it's complicated and usually expensive to do so).

in LE it's basically impossible to start an item from scratch, you have to take an existing item and make it better.

so when you're happy with something imperfect, LE's system is much easier to engage with. but when you're looking for perfection and aren't bothered about cost as much, PoE gives you lots of ways to tailor the result you're getting whereas LE gives you no options besides "pray you randomly drop a base that works for you, then pray you get to modify it in the ways you need before you run out of FP"

[hollow magnet]

Sorry let me word that better

[zealous orchid]

" PoE gives you lots of ways to tailor the result you're getting " care to enlighten me cuz the way i see is everyone in POE just trades trades trades which LE will have to so i dont really see the problem except in LE it doesnt feel like your Forced to trade to get items u want cuz u have the crafting system to fall back on and circle of fortune.

[hybrid fractal]

PoE has a huge passive skill tree but you have to take the same 90/123 skill points every time anyway so who even cares, especially in hC.

[zealous orchid]

tru

[hollow magnet]

So I'm trying a build where I use the "Enigma" passive in the Runic Invocation (RE) skill tree. With that I'll teleport forward and cast RE. When I've just casted RE I have a 12 seconds cooldown on it but everytime I use teleport it gets extended by 5s. So if I teleport 2 times after using RE, I get a 22s cooldown before I can use RE again.

Is there a way to reduce the effect of teleport on the RE if I'm using Enigma?

[buoyant sinew]

well, most people just trade trade trade, yes. crafting is generally the domain of very experienced players with lots of currency, because it is very complicated and usually requires lots of currency to get items that are better than you'd be able to get by just trading.

but for those people who are willing to learn all the intricacies of the various crafting systems and throw tons of currency at single items, PoE is rewarding and lets you make the insane items you can sell for profit or the literally perfect showcases you see on reddit. can't do anything like that in LE.

again, not saying this is good or bad in general because it depends heavily on what you personally want from a game.

[faint cape]

No, the game does not intend you to use more than one traversal skill in any particular build. I would say it's a bug the way you can force some traversals to grow their cooldown toward infinity, but generally just don't do that

[native sail]

PoE's endgame crafting is very deterministic. It is just expensive and requires you to have the knowledge of how to do it. And not hate clicking a lot.

[hollow magnet]

I understand, thank you! Would it be possible to get the Runic Invocations cooldown from 17 seconds to 5 seconds like with teleport?

It's 17s right now because Enigma adds 5s and Author of Arcana adds +12.

[faint cape]

Enigma's default cooldown is 5s, you can avoid taking the +12
Also, there is this thing to use teleport instead:

[drowsy hornet]

how do yall organize your stash? i just have 30 tabs of just "uniques", then class based ones, then keys and idols

[hollow magnet]

Thank you. And I shouldn't be using 3 types of elemental damage, right? Sounds like a 0dps build to me, but a Nova build just sounds so fun.

[faint cape]

For example, you can spec nova to be just lightning, be cast 3 times along your teleport path, and also apply spark charges on hit. It's pretty fun on a spark charge build (but you'll usually use lightning blast for single target)

I haven't done much using runic invocation's version of enigma, but I think the spark charge version of it is really effective

[hollow magnet]

Sorry I forgot that I want my build to revolve around "Grand Prism Nova". Which is an Invocation that deals fire cold and lightning damage.

[faint cape]

Kinda like that, but also uniques with LP split up by amount of LP and a ton of tabs just for exalted items (to use for legendary crafting or as crafting bases)

[faint cape]

Ahh, I think I remember someone trying that along with the other ele nova casting stuff in runic invocation. I don't remember how it turned out. Might have been Dreadful (a Youtuber)?

[hollow magnet]

Thank you, it should be this video, right? https://youtu.be/VroXiizRkgU

[faint cape]

That does look like it!

[eager galleon]

If you take a friend through an empowered mono and beat the boss even if he hasn’t done the normal version or even have a bridge to that mono formed yet, will it unlock in his own world?

[faint cape]

I basically already answered this in general, but:
Yes, still unlocks all the things for them it normally would. They don't need stability. The only way to unlock empowered versions remains to beat the three final monolith bosses (the ones that are level 90 normally, but you can do it on empowered and it'll still work fine).

[warm breach]

okay so I just started playing the other day, I hear legendary potential is rare / good, and this is the wand I ideally am using (according to a random guide I was blindly following), did I just get like, very very lucky? or just mid levels of lucky

[native sail]

Just mid levels of lucky. Ideally you want 2 or more on that wand, 1LP is like 16% chance for it if memory serves?

[warm breach]

okay cool, so just upgrade it whenever possible then, don't be to stingy

[sonic saddle]

Wouldn't even say mid levels, that unique drops quite often

[pliant bough]

i like that spoon

[hearty steppe]

What does "arming" mean for the detonation arrow? I try to make a lightning build and wonder if arming reduces the time spent shooting the arrow

[hexed sable]

Anyone got the giveaway from Twitter?

[faint cape]

It makes sure that you are outside of safe separation distance before the primary explosives are put in line with the payload

just kidding, it is the delay between hitting with the arrow and the explosion going off

[hexed sable]

https://twitter.com/LastEpoch/status/1742214219913687538?t=9TKRVWjdzMW4zEqUQL2qYg&s=19

This the giveaway I'm talking about

[faint cape]

Nope, never heard of it

[hearty steppe]

oh shit but yes thx

[wide sentinel]

maxroll poll LOL

[misty helm]

and anyone playing offline is gonna go fortune

[wicked plover]

is perma freeze a thing or does it have cooldown per mob/dr?

[misty helm]

no dr, just doesn't work on super hp targets reliably

[native sail]

It is with Snap Freeze abuse.

[dense root]

snap freeze is pretty strong yeah

[merry chasm]

Hi new to the game started yesterday. I am trying to make a minion freeze build. And I got unique boots with that stat does it apply to my minions as well or does it always specifically have to state minions to affect them? Is it also possible to add cold dmg to my wraiths?

[faint cape]

Always has to say minions to apply to them. It might be possible to add cold damage to wraiths, but there's no cold conversion so they'll never be able to freeze anything

[faint cape]

There are a few mobs immune to freeze (and stun). But generally it's possible.

[merry chasm]

Ah sad would have been cool if they could freeze as well I hope they add it at one point as like an Idol stat or something and thank you for the help.
Right now my freezes are really unrealiable. I only have Frozen Eyes of Formosus that gives a freeze multiplier. I am probably missing a "build enabling" unique/set to make this feel good. I am trying to farm Lich's Scorn from Formosus.

[faint cape]

Yeah, it would be neat - there's not a lot of cold acolyte minions to pick from, but I think it's okay for now since builds usually focus on one minion type.
As for improving your freezes - to make them reliable, you need a skill with a decent freeze rate, scale the skill to hit really fast, freeze rate multiplier, freeze rate multiplier per chill (what you get from the amulet), and frostbite.

Each of those stats is multiplicative with all the others, so you want them all up to good levels to maximize your freeze potential. And of course also need to apply chill to get the freeze rate per chill bonus.

[merry chasm]

yep I focused on attack speed and I basically always have 3 chill stacks up. Frostbite I dont have yet I am trying to get it from the off hand item which I am trying to farm right now. Thank you again!

[icy drift]

Tbf I think the poll heavily favours more dedicated/veteran players which I think are generally leaning towards CoF right now (me being one of them). While a lot of casuals will see trade and click basically , coming from other arpg's and stuff

[wide sentinel]

i think after mike confirmed that first 3 ranks of Cof cover the current loot drops, MG sounds super op

cause we only will get 35% reduced drops on 1.0 on top of having trade

[native sail]

Well

Current rates are being nerfed remember?

[wide sentinel]

yes and mike confirmed that its only by 35%

thats my point

[native sail]

Where?

[native sail]

I think you're reading that wrong

[icy drift]

Yup I think MG is for sure stronger over the course of a cycle

[wide sentinel]

how so?

he said that on 1,0 with rank 3 cof buffs we will have same loot as we have now

[native sail]

Rank 1 takes care of the bulk of the difference is not equal to "rates are only being nerfed by 35%"

[wide sentinel]

yes but check rank2 and 3, those buffs arent significant

one abt RoA and the other one is so-so

[native sail]

It's a 35% chance for double items

That's not 35% difference

[wide sentinel]

i mean its around the same no?

[native sail]

It certainly doesn't sound the same

[wide sentinel]

1/1.35~0.74

so technically we will have 36% less items

as i see it

[native sail]

I just don't think MG is "super OP" at the end of the day. Not with how hard it is to find a good item even at current rates.

[wide sentinel]

i mean depends on the build u are playing, my build was fine with current rates even tho it has several 3lp items, so imo ill have much easier time with trade

[formal parcel]

26% if I follow your logic correctly. And yeah, even if players don't know the exact details, if we take "rank 1 is the bulk of the difference" at face value, I agree that should be about the ballpark.

[wide sentinel]

oh sorry i mistyped

[native sail]

I don't think "OP" depends.

[wide sentinel]

yes

[formal parcel]

Hard to say, but yeah I am also not necessarily worried about it coming out too OP. A lot of people talk about MG as if its an editor/generator for exactly what you need, but practically the usefulness of MG depends on someone actually posting what you need, and you checking at the right time.

[wide sentinel]

ya in the end itll all come down to how many blasters will stay in trade

but hey even if market crashes we can always go CoF

so no biggie

[royal gate]

How do I search in my crafting inventory for hybrid affixes? Specifically, I have shattered dozens and dozens of items with +armor / reduced bonus crit dmg

I should have some of these in my inventory but I can't find them.

Any advice?

[wide sentinel]

just search for "increased health", idk if u can do smth better

[native sail]

That armor/crit mitigation one is bugged. It doesn't have a name in the inventory. And it shows up aa "715" on items in the crafting interface.

[royal gate]

So, I'm not going blind! Thanks!!

[wide sentinel]

lol nvm my brain fried u were talking abt armor

[native sail]

No problem. It has been marked internally iirc, I'd wager it is fixed for 1.0

[rough stone]

Is the online services down? It's saying my wife sin't on line and I've just noticed I've not seen ANY global chat the whole time I've been playing.

[native sail]

not that I know of. Might just wanna try a restart?

[rough stone]

Will do, thanks!

[deep escarp]

Has anyone found a fix for the login issue realted to ISPs that arose around .9's release-- one that doesn't include VPN?

[royal gate]

Ok what does deadly mean? I tried searching the in game guide and got a ton of filtered results that seemed to have no relation to Deadly...?

[eager galleon]

If I bring someone into a mono boss without enough stability will they get boss drops?

[pastel pebble]

It means they do more damage

I forget the amount but its sure af noticeable

[native sail]

No

[native sail]

Double damage iirc

[faint cape]

Double damage, but also it scales with corruption (so might be 3-4x damage at 1k-ish)

[pastel pebble]

Oh Jesus no wonder it hurts lmfao

[native sail]

Okay didn't know that part

[faint cape]

So glad the corruption rework is coming in 1.0 and removing enemy modifier corruption scaling lol

[rough stone]

So I completed a portion of the main quest while my wife showered...she came back and I grouped up with her and we started working on the quest again, but obviously I had to back track since she wasn't on the same stage as me...when we got to one of the bosses...he would spawn...I left her party and she TPed out and back in to create a new instance and he spawned...was that because I had already done that part of the quest...or was it just a bug?

[quartz blaze]

what boss

[rough stone]

I can't remember his name, it was part of "The Immortal Empire" Quest line

[quartz blaze]

it might be a bug... that boss tps you to a new zone when you beat him so maybe has to do with that interaction

[rough stone]

It was some Skeleton Commander

Nah, this one didn't teleport...It was like the first boss before you talk to the girl who sends you to the Risen Lake

[quartz blaze]

Oh the archer one

i'm not sure. but if the person who has less progress on their story is party lead, and you stay in party without leaving midway, it should work

[analog wadi]

i get issues with the skeleton commander in that area

the one by the girl

sometimes i gotta reload the area

[quartz blaze]

yeah its prob a bug

[manic cave]

can uniques gotten through runes of ascendance have LP?

nvm, they can. just got one with LP lol

[sinful laurel]

Yup. Less chance though

[dull quiver]

Hey guys I need help I just bought the game for my brother and he can run the game offline but it crashs when he presses connect online.

[toxic echo]

try connecting to a different server.

[dull quiver]

We've tried that unfourtnately no luck, has anyone encountered this issue?

[faint cape]

I recommend ignoring that and just walking to the next zone. No need to kill the thing nor talk to the girl.

[pulsar aspen]

what are the pros/cons of partying up with a friend? any scaling of sorts or drop changes?

[native sail]

Drops themselves don't change but you can gift drops to each other if it happened while you're in the same area. There is health scaling on mobs, but it isn't super noticeable in my experience.

[pulsar aspen]

is loot instanced?

[native sail]

Yeah

[prisma sleet]

so are cycles dropping at launch or is that coming later?

[native sail]

At launch

Just gonna post this again

[prisma sleet]

got it. was just wondering if they were deciding to do a cycle at launch or planned on waiting a month or two to see how warlock and falconeer work out for everyone

[haughty pumice]

With an Ascendancy Rune, can I get any unique in the game? Including from boss drops??

[surreal verge]

It doesn't give you boss drops.

It also has a lower chance of LP

[wet chasm]

I have a question on the conditional melee damage passives on the shaman tree that apply once every 3 seconds: on earthquake, do they apply to every instance of damage per attack, or only the first phase?

[rare oar]

how does one grind for rune of ascendance?

[desert tree]

Kill mobs, open caches

[desert tree]

If the buff is up when you cast EQ, you whole EQ is buffed

Aftershocks included

[foggy shoal]

Hello, I have a Question on Ignite. What Affixes count for Ignite dmg? Increase fire dmg or increase fire dmg over time?? Both or none?
So if i build an ignite build i try to cast as many stacks as possible on the enemy. so cast sped is really good, right?

[rare oar]

ty, is there any way to see what items can be converted to which uniques?

[foggy shoal]

u can go in the build planer a look what items u can add as uniques for a slot

[rare oar]

i see where it drops but not the items that can be converted to

[native sail]

Open the items page of LETools, filter to uniques only, ignore anything that doesn't have a reroll rate (usually listed as just --).

[rare oar]

im aiming for Darkstride, do any boots have chance to convert?

[native sail]

Any boot could become Darkstride.

[rare oar]

alright thanks

[true oasis]

one question, i'm playing a totem shamman build, and I find I lack health regen. in early stages i used leech on melee to recover life and it worked nice but now i don't have a source of melee. how do casters deal with health regen?

[native sail]

Well. That's a minion build problem really. Casters just get spell leech usually. But totems are minions and you can't leech from minions so you'll have to either subsidize with a skill you directly hit with and leech from that or get regen from something.

[true oasis]

are the other ways of regen like helth/s or health/melee hit worth it? i haven't experimented with them much

[foggy shoal]

i dont know haman well but mayb there is a chance for u to convert to a ward build

necro got many sources of ard in minion build

[native sail]

Health on melee hit is extremely small and not useful unless you have very high hit rate. You may be able to get some regen from things like Warcry or Summon Spriggan.

[true oasis]

that's my end goal, but i need to farm a set and i'm stuck because of my low survivability

[remote schooner]

I'm looking for an idol loot filter to copy for general (all classes) if there is any

[foggy shoal]

i dont think so

just check health an resi in general idol sction and all class specific ones depend on your build

[vital river]

Does anyone have a clear idea about how far devs are from 1.0? Like, do they expect anything major to be added, changed or removed from between now and Feb. 21st?

[surreal verge]

Close enough, devs already delayed it once from dec

[surreal verge]

Close enough, devs already delayed it once from dec

[odd timber]

Hi Everyone, is there any giveaway for this game?? i rearly like to play this game but currency exchange rates are fearsome in my country and i cant afford to buy it.

[low coyote]

I'm not sure the OP meant time-wise, but patch content-wise. We know that 1.0 will include at least 2 new masteries (Falcon and Warlock) but also the 2 factions, possibly shaman overhaul, possibly some new chapters to the campaign, all the UI elements that are required for season cycles. There's loot filter changes in there too. I tihnk the patch notes will be BIG.

[surreal verge]

Oh it would be fucking huge for sure

[native sail]

No story chapters, that was conformed months ago

[low coyote]

But also, I do not thing the Devs are kicking back now with their feet up twiddling their thumbs waiting for 21st

[elfin ermine]

what is "ward"? i see it a lot on experimental equipment i get, but i dont seem to find what it actually is

[low coyote]

So there's probably still a lot more to change (bug fixes and server optimisations) to come between now and Feb 21st

[surreal verge]

Decaying energy shield/decaying 2nd health bar

[low coyote]

Ward is like ES in PoE, that protects your health.

[elfin ermine]

ooh, thanks :p

[native sail]

More ward you have the faster it deteriorates. This can be slowed with ward retention and higher ward generation speed.

[low coyote]

Word has it that Mike's even found time to be sick and off work 😛 (he still posts on Discord though)

[elfin ermine]

where do i get keys for dungeons? is it just a random drop from mobs?

[surreal verge]

Random drop from bosses mostly

[elfin ermine]

thanks!

[low coyote]

There's a minimum level per key. Someone might know all the key level requirements, but the game guide does call out temporal sanctum as requiring rare enemies of level 54+

[hidden ether]

in the loot filter menu in the advanced section there is a thing that lets you limit how many total tiers of mods there are on an item. does this work by just adding up all the tier values of all mods on the item and then showing them or hiding them based on the number you pick? not sure i understand it

like if I set it to only show items with more than 12 mod tiers, it would show me an item with three tier 5 mods, but not an item with two tier 5 mods?

[rare oar]

any way i can increase corpse decay rate? game lags after i kill 20 mobs in 1 go

[desert tree]

Dont think so

[desert tree]

Its the total

So if you want only items with 12+ you will see a combination of mods that add to 12 or more

3/3/3/3, 4/4/4/0, 2/5/2/3 ... and higher total

[vital river]

I did, sorry for the imprecision. Thank you for the clear answer though 🙏

[rare oar]

rive or vengeance?

[toxic echo]

rive

[elfin ermine]

any primalist exprets here? if i master wolves, and got myself a "Cloud runners" talent, making my wolves do lightning damage, does this damage scale off spell damage?

[steel merlin]

it scales off minion spell damage, not with your spell damage

[elfin ermine]

yeah, thats what i meant :D thanks

[faint cape]

We do know they have been in a feature freeze for a while. The only thing they are doing is bug fixing and fine tuning the existing features.

[elfin ermine]

cause i was thinking of mastering roots, and you can pick to either give minions more physical damage, or more spell damage

so i was confused as to which one is better if im going lightning

[steel merlin]

just to be clear

physical and spell are not exclusive

physical is the element of the skill (like lightning, fire, void) and spell is the kind of attack

its normal for newbies to confuse physical with melee

[elfin ermine]

but does lightning attacks count as melee or as a spell?

[faint cape]

The follow-up node gives them melee lightning damage

but prior to that, the only lightning damage wolves would deal is from the storm caller's reprisal node before it that gives them a lightning retaliation spell

[steel merlin]

if you hover over storm callers reprisal node and press alt you can see the lightning's tags

[faint cape]

Melee attacks can deal lightning damage, and it'll scale with melee damage in that case

[elfin ermine]

oooh wait i get it, cloud runners is a buff for reprisal, not the lightning meleee

XD

mb

[steel merlin]

and if you read the description of "wild weapons" in entangling roots you can see that the physical damage added is both for spells and attacks

[faint cape]

It buffs the melee lightning from Storm Jaws as well

and the lightning wolf helmet, too - lightning wolves are a very strong build due to that helm

[elfin ermine]

:0

is it a random drop, or there is a certain place i should grind to get it?

[steel merlin]

random

[elfin ermine]

im just enjoying playing lightnings in general :D

[steel merlin]

eventually in endgame you can target farm unique helmets until it drops

[elfin ermine]

okay, thanks :p

[faint cape]

This is the helm, it's a common-ish unique that can drop in level 24+ zones

[hollow magnet]

Hey, is freezing carcade actually viable? By how much can you increase it's area of effect?

I'm talking about the Runic Invocation btw

[steel merlin]

i hope new tempest strike works well with howl

well theres already 100% inc area in its tree

ive never seen someone using it though

[faint cape]

I doubt it'll give swipe any competition for that helm tbh, swipe is just so good

[steel merlin]

forgot swipe ahs lightning mode

[faint cape]

The thing that really makes it strong is the spirit wolves

[steep musk]

Hi guys, someone told me not to sell my item with affixes.
So what am supposed to do with them ?

[toxic echo]

if they are important affixes, either shatter runes or removal runes. that makes shards, and you can use those tshards to increase/add affixes on other gear

[steel merlin]

and if they arent important and you dont plan to equip the item, just dont pick it

selling is not worth it

[toxic echo]

there are some crafting videos on youtube that go over things pretty well

[steep musk]

I'll look into it thanks

[shrewd prism]

why was the change made so that left mouse button is the only way to move

i know for sure in the past you could rebind rmb to be move but that was patched out for some reason?

i feel like i must be missing something since theres no way they would have taken out an existing feature

[surreal verge]

It was not intended afaik.

[low coyote]

Controller gang superiority.

[surreal verge]

Tho if you search #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs you’ll find a lot of answers

[elfin ermine]

how is dps on ability tooltip calculated? it doesnt seem to portray actual damage well

[pastel pebble]

It does not

Check with dummies to get a better sense of your DPS

[elfin ermine]

where do i find them? 👀

[pastel pebble]

It'll be lower in monoliths ofc but you'll get a good sense of it in action

Divine era, snowwy section along the trail to the lefr

[elfin ermine]

thanks!

[pastel pebble]

You go through the Wengari camps to get there

[surreal verge]

Just for your info:
Assumes no mana issues.
Assumes no cooldown.
Assumes all ailments will hit at their listed rate all the time.
Etc....

[pastel pebble]

I forget my Erasing Strike tooltip but its 5k-50k in reality doing Monoliths

[harsh pawn]

so i've almost 100h into the game, second char (trying most skillsets for launch) and I'm loving the bladedancer. Sitting at lvl 75ish and clearing very well echos lvl 80 plus. my mains doubts are. Can I find Orobiss shadow or whatever the name is before lvl100 echos? Should I just run towards the echos till lvl 100 and completing quests ? How is corruption gained and how will it affect my echos ? thanks in advance

[icy drift]

You can find shades of orobyss before empowered but I wouldn't really recommend doing them until you're in empowered

[harsh pawn]

ok so i should just rush to echos 100 asap if comfortable to right ?

[faint cape]

The Shade does appear before the level 100 monos, no reason to kill it beforehand. Killing it is how you scale corruption.

[icy drift]

Yup

[harsh pawn]

ok nice

i was looking for it cause of the ring

will do it after the lvl 100

tyvm guys \o

[icy drift]

Corruption simply gives enemies more hp and damage, and gives you more rarity for items

Shades specifically also have a few unique items that they only start dropping at certain corruption thresholds

[faint cape]

Corruption, as simplest I can phrase it, increases danger and rewards

[icy drift]

Same with the blessings you unlock all 5 options at 200 corruption

[faint cape]

Corruption scaling is also getting rebalanced in 1.0

[pastel pebble]

Whats the new scale?

[steel merlin]

Hard numbers yet to be announced, in general corruption is going to scale difficulty faster

[wide sentinel]

u get more lp chance with higher corruption, bigger damage on enemies from corruption bonus and max 3 mods from monoliths that never scale with corruption

[steel merlin]

That last line is 👌

[wide sentinel]

ya one of the reasons i think people will have much easier time gettin to 500+

[steel merlin]

Even with faster scaling?

[wide sentinel]

i mean from numbers they posted

i think so

its like 300 with 1 damage mod

but might be wrong

[pastel pebble]

It'll definitelt be way less spikey

[wide sentinel]

ya no more void enemeis deal 200% inc dmg

hell noo

[wicked plover]

am i the only one who yolo's monos for their rewards without looking at mods

[pastel pebble]

Gets a lil hard at a certain point

[orchid niche]

Is any1 else experiencing crashes ?

[wide sentinel]

no everyone does that, except for 1k+ corruption pushers but you always feel it when u pick up void dmg mod

[steel merlin]

I also yolo but eventually you'll get to an area where you get killed too much, and then look at the area mods and there's a big amount of damage modifiers stacked

Same if you stack defensive modifiers

[wicked plover]

yea i just prefer to stay at whatever corruption i dont have to micromanage mods

[sullen flare]

with release coming up do you guys think its worth doing another playthrough of the game on a difrfeerent class than i last played? I was previously a primalist druid (either druid or a different spec). I last played at the beginning of october

[wicked plover]

thats very subjective, most people that play for a longer period of time sustain their entertainment by trying out different classes/builds

[wicked plover]

how is freeze chance calculated from different sources stacking?
is every instance calculated independently?
for example (just a simplification) if i need 300% freeze multiplier and got 2 sources, one with 200% and other with 100%, do these add up if they are used in a short time frame or are they independently dismissed and fail the freeze check

[surreal verge]

Add up, they're all increases.

[faint cape]

Each instance of something that has a freeze rate is applied independently. Then you multiply that chance by your total % freeze rate multiplier, % freeze rate per stack of chill, and the enemy's % increased chance to be frozen (i.e. from frostbite).

just to be really clear here, FRM is multiplicative with FR/Chill

[wicked plover]

so if they act independently what kzb said is contradicting or am i misunderstanding

how do multiple instance of freeze interact with each other, do they just get stored on the target until the threshold is met?

[fickle mantle]

if I get the squirrel helm, will the "Spirit Wolf" still work on the squirrels?

[wise notch]

What's up! New player here. Leveling a marksman, following maxroll guide. Currently at level 11. Any tipos on identifying which affixes in gear I should hang onto for crafting later on? Thanks!

[desert tree]

Yep you shoot spirits squirrels

[fickle mantle]

awesome. Thanks!

[desert tree]

Don't worry about it too much. You will pick shards from the grounds

Shattering runes are not that common at first and cost a bit of gold.

But don't be afraid of using your shards

[faint cape]

Newer freeze should overwrite older freeze. There aren't too many ways to change freeze duration, so usually this doesn't matter much.

[fickle mantle]

as a 2 day old player myself... my advice is, just keep playing. you wont need to craft until around chapter 6-8 where enemies deal different elements.

[wise notch]

So I just pick the gear that improves my char and ignore the rest, right?

[fickle mantle]

if you keep dying from 1 shots, that's a good time to craft and improve your gear.

[faint cape]

The independently thing I mean is like, each application of some freeze rate effect applied to an enemy. So like two different hits that have a freeze rate attached.

There is no combining or building up "coldness" on enemies for an eventual freeze

[wicked plover]

so in theory if i have 2 skills with freeze, there is no point in increasing freeze multiplier on the skill with lower values, since that will always be overwritten with the stronger one (except on very weak enemies)

[faint cape]

The lower one will just be less likely to freeze, but it's still extra freeze chance

[wicked plover]

right, but at some point that will fall off compared to the stronger skill

since only one instance of freeze can apply there wouldnt be a point

[faint cape]

unless one of your things that can freeze has % increased freeze duration or something similar, it doesn't matter which one does the freezing since they'll all be the same

[wicked plover]

okay, im just asking specifically so i can skip the freeze multiplier on skill trees of "weaker" skills

[faint cape]

yeah you are welcome to, usually freeze rate on skill specs is super weak anyway

[wicked plover]

alrighty ty

[woeful gull]

I do not suppose anyone can tell me why I still take a ton of damage from mobs? Specifically fire and void. As you can see I am over capped on all res apart from poison, and when using Sigil of Hope I am at 200% fire res and 160% void. I heard some one mention about spell pen for the area levels but I am not to sure

[wicked plover]

those values do n othing for you beyond 75%

[pastel pebble]

Overcapping doesn't do anything

[wicked plover]

you need more defensive layers than res alone

[low coyote]

You have no dodge, no block, very little armour and no ward.

[pastel pebble]

You need more layers of defense

[toxic echo]

you have crazy low armour. and im also going to bet you have no HP with that much res

[pastel pebble]

and as Eagle said

You need far more HP

[toxic echo]

either on purpose or not, you built a glass cannon

[woeful gull]

Ah ok, so there is no point going over 75 res? then just increase all my other points more?

[low coyote]

Mind boggling, it's just like "Resistances: CHECK, Additional Defences: Naaah, who needs those"

[wicked plover]

armour is a huge factor, also crit avoid 100% and endurance

that will go a long way

throw some sustain on top, leech or health on kill or smth

and you good

[low coyote]

Endurance is a trap

[woeful gull]

Ah ok, ive just got the wrong idea from the advice i had before, I can soon sort the rest out if that is the case

[low coyote]

point for point, health is just better than endurance

[desert tree]

You are talking about endurance threshold here

Endurance is good

[faint cape]

% endurance is great. +endurance threshold is the weak one

[desert tree]

You want to cap it

[hollow magnet]

I'm new to this game so I hope that made sense ^^

[faint cape]

You have to spec the node that turns ele nova into a channeled skill, and then press and hold the nova keybind to channel it

[hollow magnet]

Ah I understand, thanks! And is specing that node recommended? Sounds nice not having to spam it, but idk if it's worth it.

[faint cape]

I don't think it's worth it personally since it can't be maintained and while the hit rate starts out fast it doesn't scale with cast speed

[hollow magnet]

Thanks, that was really helpful! :D

[low coyote]

I have a feeling that the channelled version might not benefit from the Unstable Core unique too

[wicked plover]

i think pressing and holding counts as one instance until you release? not 100% sure

[faint cape]

Right, would be interesting though if starting and stopping channeling enough could queue up the bonus and then snapshot for an entire channel lol

[wicked plover]

until you manage to do that everything should be dead already 😄

[humble steeple]

Guys, can the Vessel of Chaos and the Vessel of Memory exist in the same timeline?

[toxic echo]

yes

often times multiple of each. tho you normally dont farm one web that much

[faint cape]

Yep, and vessels only affect regular echoes (so like, you can't reset one memory vessel by running another one)

[weak lark]

is global damage like an area of affect?

[surreal verge]

context? it normally means "x% increased any damage"

[buoyant sinew]

"global" means "to all your damage", not "to everyone in the area"

it doesn't apply to allies

[weak lark]

ah ok, thank you
