[toxic echo]

its random, so sometimes its bad, but, always worth the effort on leveling them

[steep night]

okay okay might hang onto this and figure it out later lol

[toxic echo]

for sure. you might end up with a t7 health affix and its super good for ya. never know

[steep night]

so both swaddlings i got have the same stats. you're saying as i level it up, i can get new random stats on it? like t7 health if im lucky?

[toxic echo]

yeah. they can roll any affix for gloves. and its random. so you might get like t7 health, or t7 throwing damage, or 4x t2's that are useless together.

they level pretty fast too, not really a lot of time investment

[steep night]

yeah cool i just got hjybrid health and minion damage, i think i get it

thanks for the help!

[toxic echo]

nice rolls actually...lol. np

[wind oak]

I ended up with t7 phys resist

Is that good?

[toxic echo]

its not bad, depending on the class/build. a t7 roll basically caps that res...frees up quite a few spots

[distant sequoia]

is its roll, press alt and you will see. Is a visual indicator, the fullest the bar, the highest the roll

[tidal surge]

Is there new story coming in 1.0 or what are the plans for more main story? ^^

[toxic echo]

missing 3 chapters, not coming with 1.0

[crimson crag]

has anybody made a forge strike focused build?

[ivory echo]

Do players in joint session share quest progress if they started from the same point?

[native sail]

Yup

[toxic echo]

story yes, monolith progression/rewards a little dicey sometimes depending on stability n such

[hidden mica]

so, I died during Lagon in the Ending the Storm monolith but he then died while I was in the respawn countdown and now this is my quest state:

I also have the next monolith unlocked. All the loot was left on the ground and I couldn't get it, though. Was there any way I could have reset the fight and try to get loot rather than die and lose it all?

[toxic echo]

nah, if you die you die. loots gone.

[vital coral]

Thanks!

[hidden mica]

that's so unfortunate. So if I die without killing the boss I get to retry until I kill it and loot it, but if we die at the same time I get 0 loot and can't retry without redoing the stability + quests?

[peak orbit]

does this affux "Armour and Reduced Bonus Damage from Crits" not appear in the loot filter for boots?

[hidden mica]

is that mod even available on boots?

[toxic echo]

can check lastepochtools. its pulled straight from the game

[toxic echo]

i think the affix is bugged tho, its called like 715 or something

[peak orbit]

this is the reason I think

[toxic echo]

just bad luck you died at the same time.

[peak orbit]

i guess you can't filter them

[faint cape]

You can, it shows up as a blank affix by crit avoid

[young condor]

Hey, does anyone know if Game capture with OBS & LE is still broken?

[formal parcel]

unless I am mistaken, try searching for "fortification" in the filter menu or the materials menu

[visual elbow]

how do i delete the sub tab?

[faint cape]

You can't delete tabs. You can rename and move them elsewhere though.

[visual elbow]

ahhh i moved it okok ty

@faint cape

tysm for the help

by any chance do you know the scale percentage?

like is it every> 100% - (x amount)

or is it a flat 254%? and 254% of what? the gears stats? enemy level?

[undone otter]

Multiple stacks

[faint cape]

254% is 2 stacks + 54% chance for a 3rd stack

[undone otter]

200% applies 2 stacks

Listen to the Padre

He speaks the truth

[visual elbow]

what are we stacking here

Armour shred

[undone otter]

Armour shred

It stacks

[visual elbow]

so it is 2 stacks of vulnurability ?

[toxic echo]

any ailment really...you are doing armour shred

[undone otter]

Of armor shred

That's just one type of ailment

Like you can also shred fire resistance

https://www.lastepochtools.com/ailments/armour_shred

[kindred wagon]

Does result of shattering depends on tiers of affixes on item? Like is it worth to shatter only t5+ affixes or it's ok to shatter any tier of exact affix?

[toxic echo]

depends on what affix it is and how badly you need it

but shattering gives a random number of shards, from 0-tier on all affixes, with at least 1 shard total.

removal gives max tiers, but random affix

if you are shard hunting, try the removals first

[kindred wagon]

I'm playing cold frost claws and need shred armour/frostbite pen/ice barrage levels

So basically just 3-4 rare affixes

[near path]

use Removals to target specific affixes, use Shatters for building a general bank of shards

Removals also cost FP

can't use on an 0FP item

[kindred wagon]

gotcha

So it's better to shatter 3-4 combo of any-tier good common affixes like resistances/%inc damage/etc
And removal only good rare affixes like shred/ice barrage level/...

Right?

[toxic echo]

removal first if there are affixes you really want

if you run outta fp, then shatter

if its just random affixes, shatter

removal even if its one affix on gear...you want the shards.

yes

[formal parcel]

also, runes of removal are a good reason to still highlight some magic items if they drop with 3+tiers of rare shards you want. solid way to accumulate them

[kindred wagon]

xd

[unique kernel]

Hello everyone. Question about this Wand. I play as a Hydrahedron runemaster and the dmg numbers dont seem to add up. I have half the DPS with this than with the 2h staff here. Yet, i seem to be doing more dps to bosses with this (I understand the part with extra dmg per ailment, but is it per ailment "Kind" or per stacks as well? Is this wand really the best weapon for a Hydra build?
Since Hydra does not aim for the Training Dummy, i cant test my dmg like i used to with other builds
Thanks for helping out!

[kindred wagon]

Yea, I guess i'll do something like that, high chance to hit removal on 2-mod magic for good shard

[lofty topaz]

Someone said once you download the game u get a free 350 epoch points in the shop but havent recieved them any idea why?

[toxic echo]

i think that was pre .9 (last march)....but not 100% on that

[lofty topaz]

well thank you

[peak orbit]

Can I have two variants of filters for the same item type one more stricter than the other?

So that it falls back to the less strict option if it fails the more strict filter

[toxic echo]

yes, long as you have the rules set up right

[peak orbit]

Ok, I’m gonna make some changes, can I have them reviewed here?

[toxic echo]

i am not gonna here much longer. but yea. shouldnt be that hard. just make the strict one, copy it so it goes down one, and then loosen it up

[peak orbit]

Got it, thanks ☺️

[faint cape]

Yeah, this strategy is pretty much how I filter my exalts. I make a strict one to show items with good T6+ affixes, then copy it above to make a recolor for decent T7 affixes

[peak orbit]

I currently have this for all item slots
Min 2 affixes (from selected) with each being atleast t2

Since this ignores things like 1 t5 affix I plan to add another rule for each item type
Min 1 affix with total tier sum above 4

[peak orbit]

Where exactly do you farm t6 and t7 ? I’m currently running empowered to get better blessings from 2 timelines

[toxic echo]

t6 drops from lvl50+ areas, t7 90+ areas

[faint cape]

Just in emp monos since I'm usually endlessly grinding blessings, though if I really wanted to focus them I'd go to dungeons

[toxic echo]

if looking for a specific base, some dungeon mod days are really good

[faint cape]

The tier thing might not be super needed on the first one imo

Another thing I like to do is slap a hide filter for T5 affixes that are instant dealbreakers

[peak orbit]

You’re right I can simply remove the tier requirement from the first filter

[kindred wagon]

In Loot Filter rules on the top always override rules on the bottom, right?

[faint cape]

Yeah, when an item drops, it looks at rules in your loot filter from top to bottom, and stops at the first one that matches

[formal arrow]

is the story expected to change for 1.0? Giving a run through in preparation so I can be more efficient on launch, but won't if its gonna change again

[kindred wagon]

Is there any reason to sort out any t6-t7 affixes on exalted items or just useful ones? Or I don't even need exalted item sorting and just sort by t6+ affixes?
Will I get any benefit from shattering/doing anything else with for example t7 %inc attack speed while i'm playing caster build and don't need items like that at all?

[quiet nacelle]

Does anyone know if i have Age of Undeath skilled on Abom, and i skill The Quick and The Dead (which triggers health decay), does Abom's health decay eventhough i have Age of Undeath?

[faint cape]

Main difference will probably just be thee introduction of item factions. Currently, people just run through chapter 7 and then go to monoliths, but now you'll need to get to chapter 9 on your first character to unlock factions.

[faint cape]

That node increases health decay, but 0 decay increased is still 0

[faint cape]

I filter to only see (very) good T6+ and decent T7

yeah salvaging T7s can get 7 shards for example, but not totally game changing

[kindred wagon]

gotcha, thanks

[quiet nacelle]

Thanks

[candid elm]

Up to you. You can use Exalted items for Legendary crafting. For example if you're trying to get Legendary boots you could save some for Exalted boots that you might use for that crafting.

In regards to Shattering, yes, there's a chance to get up to that tier in shards. Like a 6 may give up to 6. But you might also get zero. If you really want those shards, use Removal. That always gives that tier number in shards when it hits an affix. Over time you're going to have a lot of crafting shards.

[kindred wagon]

Hm, looks like i'll get into legendaries later

Im only lvl 66 for now and didn't get some cool items/runes

[deft cedar]

ugh what is the drop rate for Eye or Reen

[faint cape]

Low, it's rare

[crimson rose]

man, i am all in for a game that re defines trading and crafting. i've been watching lot of streams lately, but why do i have this feel in my mind that this looks like a mobile game? and comical.

[sinful laurel]

LE? a mobile game?

[faint cape]

Probably because it's still in development. Every update brings a lot of graphics improvements, and the snippets we've seen so far of the release version show further improvements

[sinful laurel]

i cant see any piece or part of this game that looks anything like any mobile game

[formal parcel]

do you guys not have phones?

[candid elm]

LE Tools lists it as rare https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzCcwZgViA. You can play around with the tunk labs Rune of Ascendance simulator to give you a general idea https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ascsim looks like less than a 4% chance.

[minor vigil]

a lot of the old assets are ugly. a lot of the new ones are pretty good

[sinful laurel]

nope. i do not own a phone

[nova sparrow]

I do tho XD, that what I was saying in my day1 but now I get used to it
1.0 with lighting fixed will probably make it looks a lot better

[formal arrow]

thanks

[vale thistle]

is the overlay map opacity slider just bugged or am I doing something wrong lol

every time I change it, close the settings menu and re-open, it goes back to the default of like 33%ish

only happens with that one slider, overlay map zoom remembers my setting just fine

[random sun]

Did they really remove the lvl requirement on legendary gear after you've used the LP on a piece? 😮

[sinful laurel]

its not removed, its just not changed by the smash

[random sun]

Good so you can really make nice twink gear

[sinful laurel]

absolutely

[vital coral]

What does 300% frostbite chance mean? I apply 3 stacks of it per hit?

[faint cape]

Yes

[peak orbit]

If I log out and log in, I can’t do the monolith boss, with an infinite loading screen, and forced to do another echo

Is this a known bug

[faint cape]

I've seen it mentioned before, but I thought they fixed it since I literally just did a mono boss after a restart. No harm in submitting a bug report

[peak orbit]

I play offline, maybe it is prevalent here

[faint cape]

Ohh, maybe yeah

[hybrid fractal]

Can someone clarify regarding "direct damage".

I'm assuming "more direct damage" on a skill tree would only apply to the actual hit or DoT damage of that skill, whereas "more damage" would apply to those but also any ailments applied by the skill.

Is this correct? If so is there any other difference or detail I missed?

Thanks.

[faint cape]

You are right. It's just an updated wording to better clarify how similar effects currently work (e.g. accelerating DOT on other things like glyph of dominion).

[fossil osprey]

Can someone tell me how I check how much attunement I have? the maelstrom skill says the damage doubles with 60 attunement but don't know how much I have

[surreal verge]

Char sheet.

[fossil osprey]

Yeah thanks. I knew it was gonna be something silly but couldn't figure out how to pull it up. Should have known to press C lol

[deft cedar]

Creating a Unique with a Rune of Ascendance, if I wanted a Eye of Reen, I know you have to use a One-Handed Sword to get one, but does it have to be a katana in particular/

[surreal verge]

No. It does not care what kind of 1h sword you use.

[icy drift]

No

[buoyant roost]

Hey all, if drain life is turned into a DoT, does Eternal Servitude still work (where wandering spirits still stick around)

[surreal verge]

Drain life is always a DoT.
Do you mean if drain life is on cast?

[buoyant roost]

Yep. Sorry meant non-channelled. Some of drain life's other channeled abilities stick around on conversion.

[surreal verge]

It might stick around for as long as the cast lasts, but I'm not sure

[buoyant roost]

Thanks. Yeah guess I'll have to check it. Apparently turning it into a on-cast allows you to have multiple 'stacks' of concurrent drain life.

Supposedly

Might be powerful with the new poison buff from Warlock (4x multiplier)

[gentle valve]

Do you guys think that the projectile bug with flurry will be fixed after full release?

[dusky kite]

it might get more polish but it won't change in a meaningful manner

[keen quiver]

is the shaman rework happing in the 1.0 release or is that later? and is there any details on the rework?

[young condor]

Any changes are planned for the launch. No new info as of now until patch notes come in

[desert tree]

Yes

[desert tree]

With 1.0
We know there will be

• Rework of the passive tree
• Rework of Tempest Strike
• New Skill added

[keen quiver]

nice!

[restive gorge]

is there a button I can click/hold to see items on the ground hidden by filter?

[desert tree]

"X" by default I think

[wind oak]

what should I use my rune of ascendance on
or should I just chill/wait on it

[desert tree]

If you need a specific unique, use them on the base. Other than that, keep them

[hot carbon]

Frankly, unless you’re trying to target farm an item, I wouldn’t worry too much about it. Just kinda pop them.

[desert tree]

Wait a minute

Deias wrote that

[hot carbon]

I forgot I wasn’t on my laptop

[surreal verge]

There's a unique or two that do it,why?

wanna check out where it can spawn xd

mb would be useful for my build

Huge Idol [1×4]

that's better)

[crude plaza]

yo guys. i just got to empowered monoliths and i am close to level 90 with my first character. I am in the dilemma,should i continue pushing and complete the build (Bis) and reach level 100 or should i make other classes to see how they play? I also read that some stuff about end game are changing on 1.0. What would you do? 😄

[flint laurel]

what do they mean with singularity?

[kind spade]

hello all! any info about 1.0 release??? and will it have warlock included and the 2 trading factions?

[flint laurel]

yes

it will also have the falconer

[distant compass]

you don't do any crits, your hits do harder 18%, useless for 99% builds

[desert tree]

It's good if you have no investment in crit at all

But if you have just 1 or 2 crit chance / crit multi affixes/skill tree nodes/passive nodes, it sucks

[surreal verge]

..Hey hold on.

Oh wait it doesn't hit

It's still bad

[icy drift]

Just depends on how you feel, I'm someone who likes to play a few characters for a lot of time but there's also people who enjoy playing lots of different classes and builds

I don't think there's really a right or wrong

[crude plaza]

i have 35 hours on my lich, i just made a druid to see how he plays and i will hop back to lich to finish the build when i am done with my druid run. I feel like testing everything right now

[icy drift]

Go for it ^^

[arctic tree]

Hello guys. I am new to this game. About to make a purchase at Steam, but I would like to know a few more things before I made a decision to purchase:

1. Is this game Open World?
2. Does this game have co-op gameplay with several other players to kill world bosses?
3. Can we customize our characters? Are the classes' genders locked?
4. Where are the servers located at? Any servers located at SEA (South East Asia) ?

Please do advise. Thank you, guys. Appreciated the response. 🙂

[surreal verge]

No, No, No,Yes.

The first 2 don't exist because this is an ARPG, not an MMO.
The 3rd is a dev time issue.

[arctic tree]

Thanks for the quick responses, @surreal verge 🙂

[distant compass]

no coop?

[storm blaze]

you can play coop with friends or strangers

Just need to invite them to party first and then they can join your instance

[dense root]

there is coop but there aren’t world bosses like they asked about

[lavish pier]

is the web of an monolith never ending?

[storm blaze]

No
There are edges to them

[toxic echo]

It does end...but its huge. Hundreds and hundreds of echoes

[trail spoke]

if i like my current character and its mastery and dont care about leader boards is there any benefit when 1.0 comes out to start a new character in the 1st season (or whatever LE calls them)

[dense root]

not really

[trail spoke]

ok tks

[buoyant moat]

Yeah, means you can only have ONE of those in your idol inventory, increase your damages by 18% but you won't do any crits (meaning you could stack items saying you can't crit) and I assume best for DoT damage (or doesn't it register as a "hit"?) and builds of that kind, since they don't crit, right?

[surreal verge]

DoTs do not hit.

So it's... pretty useless.

[buoyant moat]

Yeah, then I don't get why they have such trash uniques in the game, fire the team and let's get workin'!

[dusky kite]

NGL the direction with uniques in this game is often times puzzling

[buoyant moat]

Not even the initial hit, where it applies the DoT?

[surreal verge]

THe initial hit isn't your main damage source anyway,

Some don't even have damage on that initial hit.

[buoyant moat]

But let's say warlock has like a necrotic DoT curse that does a blast and then ticks after or something. Should count for the initial blast, or is "hit" only melee hits?

[sinful laurel]

It will increase the damage of the hit yes, but that hit damage is like 0.2% of your total damage as a dot build

[surreal verge]

It does count.

But it's not what you're scaling anyway

So the initial hit doing more damage doesn't really help.

[buoyant moat]

Would scale off necrotic damage and spell power, but not of course "damage over time" affix, sure.

[sinful laurel]

It's not just that

You aren't scaling any flat damage, so your actual hits are wet noodles. 18% more wet noodle is... shit

[surreal verge]

Sure, but why in hell would you scale spell power when you're playing a DoT build?

Also yeah you won't be adding flat damage, as flat damage doesn't buff Ailments.

[sinful laurel]

Not to mention that you now can't crit. At all.

[buoyant moat]

You are right, I'm just looking for places to try use this unique, lol

[sinful laurel]

So even if your hit was ok DMG and you had 10% chance to crit, singularity is still worse

[buoyant moat]

So what's the like 0.0001% build it would work for, I don't get it. Crit is almost always the way to go about damage and layering in aRPGs.

[surreal verge]

That's the joke.
It doesn't.

[buoyant moat]

Like unless DoTs don't crit.

Hehe, I see.

[surreal verge]

It is effectivelly LE's worse unique

[sinful laurel]

There is like one niche sentinel build that some people have argued it's ok for.

I have never found any build where I could justify putting it in

[surreal verge]

If the 'hit' part is removed then it'll be used in DoT.

[buoyant moat]

Yeah, which I did assume it was for.

Since, what else? lol

[sinful laurel]

Most people do

[buoyant moat]

Oh so, if you get gambler’s fallacy (which applies +100% critical strike chance). Then, using these two items together allows you to crit again. Which then gives you 18% more damage. But only then?

[sinful laurel]

No

[buoyant moat]

Found a post 2 years ago that claimed it.

[sinful laurel]

Negative stats take precedence

[faint cape]

It's useful to slap on your build if you accidentally stacked 100%+ crit avoid for your echo mods 😂

[surreal verge]

Nope, current singularity hard sets your crit chance to 0%

No matter what.

[buoyant moat]

This guy claimed that: "Not true. Singularity doesn’t make your critical strike chance equal to 0, instead it applies a -100% critical strike chance."

[sinful laurel]

Try it and let us know

I'm sure he is right

[buoyant moat]

But I guess that might have been changed, since it's 2 years ago.

[faint cape]

It's 100% less critical strike chance

pretty sure it even says on the alt text

it was never any other way, it has never worked

[dense root]

it definitely sets it to zero

[steel merlin]

(5+100)*0=0

[potent raft]

where do i get the key?

[surreal verge]

Boss drop

[toxic echo]

random mob kills / boss kills / monoliths / caches

[potent raft]

oh so it can drop anywhere?

[toxic echo]

yeah. bosses drp em more often. and some caches always drop them

[potent raft]

oki thanks

[faint cape]

You aren't intended to find one before the first time you reach a dungeon in the campaign, since the keys only drop in higher level areas

[warped shadow]

Question from new player : If I start right now, when 1.0 start, I have to do again the campaign on the new character ?

[toxic echo]

you can id you want to. but current characters will just be moved to legacy and continue being playable there, with all the content from 1.0

so you dont have to restart if you dont want to

[warped shadow]

Yeah, but for sure I will restart in Season

[faint cape]

If you make a new character (in legacy or cycle), yes you will need to do the campaign again to some extent

your first char in the new cycle will pretty much need to complete the whole campaign to unlock item factions in chapter 9, but following chars don't need to go that far

[warped shadow]

OK thanks

[oak rock]

Hey guys! I'm about to start my journey in Last Epoch!
Should I follow any guide or should I go in blind and just go with the flow?

I really wanna experience this properly

[warped shadow]

I will not wait one month for sure before playing and start tonight 😉

[surreal verge]

"Fuck around and find out"

[faint cape]

No need for a guide, just have fun! Only things you can't change about your character are the class and mastery selection, and all classes are viable

[warped shadow]

On max roll, you have some '' visual '' of different gameplay

It may guide you, but if you discover a game, it's better to go blind I guess

[oak rock]

Thanks guys! I will go blind for the first time

I'm so hyped

[oak wolf]

So I'm following this leveling guide, even tho I'm ahead 3 levels (he's 43 and I'm 46) I have less skill points to put on Passives. Am I doing something wrong? (first one is from guide, second one is mine)

[sinful laurel]

You missed a passive points quest

[oak wolf]

Oh fuck there are quests that give you points?

I only do main ones

[sinful laurel]

Press m, bottom left corner

[oak wolf]

oh it says 9/15

[faint cape]

Yeah, gotta do some side quests to get passive points and idol slots. There are more quests that give those than you need to cap them out, but you do need to do a few.

[oak wolf]

Thank you guys

idk how to find them tho

[faint cape]

I'd say press onward and just grab the side quests as you go, you'll probably get everything you need that way

you can see the reward for accepted side quests by looking at the quest log that's integrated in the map

[oak wolf]

well I've been in lots of places so I need to track back I guess 😦

[sinful laurel]

There are more available quests for points than points to earn

You can skip a couple quests and still get all points

[oak wolf]

okay from now on then I'll grab all quests

[warped shadow]

(sry for not French people) Quelqu'un aurait vent d'un discord QC/FR?? Je ne trouve que des liens invalides 😂

[faint cape]

All I can say is there's no official ones (due to inability to moderate other languages)... someone who speaks French better than I do might know about unofficial ones lol

[desert tree]

Non j'en connais aucun, mais si tu as des questions MP moi

[warped shadow]

Yeah, but discord community exist for every game normally 😂
It's strange to not find one in French but, I can speak English (bad but I can) without Google translate 😂

[warped shadow]

C'est plus pour trouver des gens pour jouer à la release, mais ça sera au filling je pense 😂

[dense root]

last epoch is a pretty small game so i’m not surprised there isn’t a community for every language

we have a few french speakers here though so if there isn’t a discord you could maybe start one

[desert tree]

Imagine a discord full of french men

https://tenor.com/view/the-big-bang-theory-sheldon-gif-12501820

[marsh maple]

Hey you leave my French Bread Men Against Wheat Bread Facebook Group alone! 😤

[maiden knot]

T'inquiète on est là, on est partout les français

[warped shadow]

Zéro doute 🤙

[dusky kite]

then it would be just an auto include in most dot builds and 18% more damage is pretty damn good for 1x1 idol slot

even the much maligned throne is 2x2

[trail spoke]

When upgrading uniques to legendary..how do you compare your existing non legendary gear to the one with legendary potential (looking at existing affixs with lower values on the legendary one) and know when its worth switching to the legendary one with lower base affix rolls but with 1-2 more new affixs?

[sinful laurel]

That's an impossible question to answer in a vacuum

If the smashed legendary has good affixes that are useful that outweigh low rolls, use it

[trail spoke]

ya i know its a trick question but one i need to tackle, tks

[faint cape]

hugely dependent on the specific unique, many of them have no rolls or rolls that don't matter

and some have rolls that are just mandatory

[trail spoke]

yea and cause i am new i am not smart enough yet to even know the priorized affixs for my spark charge build

[desert tree]

Go to #🧙┃mage , Post your current build with a planner from Lastepochtools.com. Surely someone will be able to answer you

[sinful laurel]

The only thing you really need is enigma

And the smashes are just extra tbh.

[desert tree]

Mad Laddle

[sinful laurel]

Nah not even that is necessary depending on build

[trail spoke]

ya have mad and enigma and prismatic

[oak wolf]

I'm just perma oom and one shotted at Lagon's Trial (story still), where can I drop decent items for my build? Most of them are uniques in the guide I'm watching

[wicked plover]

if you are oom than thats maybe a skilling issue, check your tree if there are any mana options around
if thats not an option craft some mana or mana regen on your gear, eventhough you wouldnt do that for lategame

[oak wolf]

Okay I will try, there's no way to farm specific unique while doing story right? If it drops, it drops basically?

[mighty nova]

Yup

The only way to target farm uniques is in monos

[oak wolf]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1144834528419004577.gif?size=48&name=Saddies&quality=lossless

[wicked plover]

empowered monoliths have a favoured unique type they can spawn as rewards

if the item you need is a helmet it would be better to go farm the monmolith that has that specific reward

also rune of ascendance for non-boss-specific uniques

[oak wolf]

I'm probably not strong enough for monoliths

But I'll try to add bonuses to my items like defense and mana

[faint cape]

Yep, use crafting, it's really strong and you'll get way more shards than you can use

[oak wolf]

Should I gamble items? I only have 100k gold atm

[wicked plover]

only if the base item would be a huge upgrade, you generally find enough good stuff around

[toxic echo]

the normal gambler is basically useless. he caps at rares and lvl 40 items

[oak wolf]

Then I can try a few rings because the ones I have are low level

[fallow ridge]

can you play last epoch with strangers? like diablo 3

or do u have to invite someone in order to play withem

[sinful laurel]

You have to party to be in the same instance outside of towns

So yea strangers but you have to still accept the party

[fallow ridge]

yea was wondering if it was easy to play with ppl like d3. just join a game and play together

[sinful laurel]

It's pretty easy still, at least when it works overall

[faint cape]

There's no LFG or groupfinding system in game. One will probably be made, but definitely won't be in by 1.0.

[onyx briar]

Do DoTs apply on hit effects? If they don't what's the usual way that dot builds apply Frailty consistently?

[dusky kite]

no

ailment builds often rely on direct hits to apply their ailments, those hits can apply debuffs too

if you build spell dot with no hits, you are sol

[sinful laurel]

I only know a couple cases with dots that aren't applied by an initial hit

[dusky kite]

spirit plague, wandering spirits (without speccing into poison bolt), drain life, disintegrate...

[sinful laurel]

A few cases 😉

I was going across classes too haha

[onyx briar]

So dot builds need similar gear to spell or melee, but instead of crit chance/multi you go for dot?

[surreal verge]

Yes.

In theory anyway.

[sinful laurel]

It depends on the build but mostly yes

[vital coral]

What are the stats I should be looking for a minion build? Minion health/damage or my defenses?

[surreal verge]

Both

[vital coral]

I meant which is higher priority if I had to choose while farming gear

[surreal verge]

ANything that makes them balanced. Or I guess get defenses if you're dying

[vital coral]

Aight

[wide sentinel]

dont get hit is best summoner defense

who needs gear

[carmine coyote]

Sentinel

[wide sentinel]

true

[carmine coyote]

imagine not being able to play without gear?

[wide sentinel]

ya summoners are out of control

thinking about affixes on gear while playing minions

[carmine coyote]

making a burger while playing minions

[dawn pollen]

what are implicits on an item?

[desert tree]

The first lines of the item

The one you can't craft

[carmine coyote]

you can?

[desert tree]

Yeah... But not really change them

You can only ré roll

[dawn pollen]

oh okay thank you

[desert tree]

But not add one

[pastel pebble]

Calling that the same as crafting may cause some slight confusion

[desert tree]

Or remove

[sleek meteor]

If yall could take a skill from one class and put it on another what would it be

[flint yew]

holy aura on literally everything

the boring answer

but i like my resists

[toxic echo]

maybe volatile reversal on rogue, so i can just spam the big bow attacks without needing a mana generator

[pastel pebble]

Anomaly > Holy Aura

[pastel pebble]

VR on Mage would be disgusting

[toxic echo]

this is true, but mage already has some good mana regen skills. but the instant-ness on vr would be pretty busted

could really go ham with the meteor belt then

[crude plaza]

anyone knows how to "equip" the banners from the supporter packs in the forum?

[pastel pebble]

Open your inventory and go to cosmetics

There should be a cape/backpack option

[crude plaza]

i mean in the forum

[dusky cosmos]

Does anybody know which sentinel subcall will get changed?

[toxic echo]

nothing official on sentinel subclasses being changed. healing hands is getting a skill tree...thats about all we know

[dusky cosmos]

Okay I thought I heard some about paladin

[toxic echo]

assuming the steam account is linked correctly...should be pretty quick...could always reach out to support in a day or so if it doesnt pop up

[crude plaza]

i have linked it for the past 10 days and i cant see them so i am gonna message the support i guess

[proven jacinth]

Hi im new to the game i just have a quick question...im currently building a fresh character (multishot rouge) and i dont know if i have to invest into this thing called ward (generation and retention) or its more health and armor good enough?

[dusky kite]

None, because I much prefer classes having unique identity and thematic design

[dusky kite]

health and ward are two (usually) competing ways of scaling your survivability, you usually choose one or the other

[silver sleet]

So, you don't die if your HP hits 0 while converting ward?

[dusky kite]

and while you can build low life ward on rogue, I'm not sure if mm builds specifically run that

[dusky kite]

most if not all low life effects expend your current health, by that logic they can never reduce your health to zero

that 0/2165 is actually more like 0,00000000001/2165

[proven jacinth]

ok ty

[frigid dome]

hello everyone I heard a lot of good things about this game and just saw the news last epoch is going out of early access next month. Can anyone share how long to beat the campaign on current patch? I'm really interested to buy and play this game thank you

[dusky cosmos]

Is it wise to use a rune of ascendance on high level EQ ? or doesnt it matter?

[wide sentinel]

if u know what u are doing u can do it in 2.5h on almost any class

if not u can be there as long as 10h

[surreal verge]

Doesn't matter.

[dusky cosmos]

so you literally just use the rune as soon as you drop it on a item type you need a unique of?

[frigid dome]

so around 10 hours and i can jump on the end game?

[surreal verge]

If you need a unique, yes.

[wide sentinel]

kinda ya

[frigid dome]

ok thanks mate

[dusky cosmos]

is curse damage also in the elemental damage category?

[surreal verge]

No, curse is not a damage type.

It's closer to a skill type like melee or spell.

(Also elemental damage is Fire, Cold, Lighting)

[small coral]

Anyone know what Liches will get in place of Soul Feast, since it's going to Warlocks?

[faint cape]

🪦

[surreal verge]

No info, if any.

[faint cape]

Nothing, probably

[toxic echo]

if anything, its not released publically yet. but mike kinda hinted nothing

[small coral]

Got it. Thanks! 🙂

[flint tapir]

hey, if making a unique into a legendary and the unique already has an affix like "attunement" on it and the item im trying to merge it with also has attunement, does the affix just get ignored and it chooses on of the other 3 or what happens?

[faint cape]

Just to add, lich will get access to chaos bolts and ghostflame btw, so in the mean time it's still technically getting more skills

[surreal verge]

it gets added as if the original unqiue affix didn't exist (It stacks)

[flint tapir]

wait it does stack?

i thought you couldve have 2 same ones

[faint cape]

Yep, gets treated no differently than normal

[flint tapir]

well thats nice tho

thx!

[opal nest]

Does Chill and Slow affect Moving Channeling skills like Warpath and Flame Rush?

[spice trellis]

I think I can ask the community this question but not sure. When I try to login to the last epoch website it uses steam which is fine but after logging in it just redirects back to last epoch website wanting me to log in again. Do I need to own the game to log in?

[faint cape]

Warpath yes. Not sure if flame rush scales on your move speed.

[faint cape]

The first step when you initially log in to the game is creating your LE account, so I don't think you can have an account without owning the game.

[spice trellis]

Thank you 🙏

[pale timber]

How long has paranoia not worked ?

[vital coral]

Can I get frostbite shackles using rune of ascendency on gloves?

[buoyant sinew]

no, ascendancy can only give randomly dropping uniques

[oak wolf]

welp 😦

[vital coral]

Ty

[oak wolf]

I was so happy I dropped this

[surreal verge]

If you're wearing that, anytime you die it always shows this.

Even if it's not the cause.

It's a bug.

[faint cape]

Has it ever worked? Maybe in offline mode...

[oak wolf]

I mean it's probably the cause because I lose so much health

I think I need 1 more unique to work with this, maybe even 2-3

[surreal verge]

The Self-dot is pretty low kinda.

[oak wolf]

oh you are right, it's the new zone I'm in

I need more resist but different one

[faint cape]

If you die to 4 damage over 2 seconds, I think you have a real serious build issue 😅

[oak wolf]

man.. why can't I just take one type of resist that works in all maps

[surreal verge]

That's called armour

[oak wolf]

I guess I'm not good for this new map

I changed my resistances for a boss in story

[spice trellis]

I'm new to LE and want to make sure as I see factions are their take on ssf. Circle of Fortune is ssf and merchants guild is trade correct?

[wind oak]

is there a resource for item mods and where they can spawn (like poedb/craft of exile)? lastepochtools has an items section but I don't see mod info

[toxic echo]

in the build planner you can put items in and check which items can go in it pretty easy

[wind oak]

Also, I want to clarify a mechanic (well 2)

1. are % increase physical/melee damage and %increase crit strike global mods, even on weapons? (this would be different e.g. from Diablo/poe where those mods on weapons affect the base stats)

[surreal verge]

Global.

[wind oak]

2. do mods like "+% crit chance" "chance to bleed" "% attack speed" from a single weapon apply "globally" to my char, not just with that weapon?

[buoyant sinew]

there's no such thing as local mods in LE

[wind oak]

gotcha

[buoyant sinew]

weapons are all just "stat sticks" other than their base attack speed

[wind oak]

soooo I think the conclusion is, for weapon builds, flat damage and flat crit chance are the most important prefixes (maybe attack speed?) since you can't get that anywhere else

does that follow?

[buoyant sinew]

yes

[toxic echo]

pretty much

[buoyant sinew]

crit multi is sometimes in the mix as well

[wind oak]

oh also, are all the increases added together

[buoyant sinew]

yes

[wind oak]

like if I have 50% incr phys, and 25% incr melee, then a melee phys attack would have 75% incr dmg

[balmy current]

Flat damage is hard to get, as is flat crit & AS is multiplicative with the other damage buckets.

[wind oak]

including from skill trees?

so say I have 50% incr from items and also somethingthat is 150% incr from skill tree, that would be 200% incr fro that skill?

[buoyant sinew]

yes, most skill tree damage bonuses are multiplicative with other sources and will specifically say so but ones that are just "increased" are additive with other stuff

[wind oak]

fantastic, love the early phase of a game where I get to figure this out

[restive gorge]

should I aim to stay somewhere close to area level when blasting through campaign?

[wind oak]

is it really "most"? I mean they are pretty clear about more vs increased but it feels like 50/50

[faint cape]

Skill trees rarely give % increased damage, it's usually % more damage, which isn't added to anything it's just an overall multiplier

It's not 50/50, like the things that give increases are so few and far between it confuses people when they actually exist

[buoyant sinew]

and they're often global increased damage from doing something with the skill, rather than increased damage with the skill

[toxic echo]

nah. if you fall behind a bit its fine

in monoliths you end up being 10 or more behind, its fine and normal

[restive gorge]

so generally I can just run through areas?

I

[dusky kite]

unlike some games that make werid distinctions for weapons, all items in LE are equivalent in that they give you "global" stats

[restive gorge]

I'll get more xp at higher level ares

[wind oak]

I feel like crit multi can exist many other places?

oh not that many, relic/ammy and off-hand

[buoyant sinew]

it does but for some builds it's still worth taking on weapon

[wind oak]

understood

thanks

[toxic echo]

you get more xp up to 10 levels above your level. so if you a lvl 20 in a 35 area, you get lvl 30 exp

[wind oak]

this all very helpful

[restive gorge]

ty

[buoyant sinew]

and then weapon suffixes tend to be a bit whatever for most builds

chill and slow are generically good

if you're an ailment build obviously get chance for that ailment

[wind oak]

i see, the suffixes are mostly "chance to X" right

[buoyant sinew]

yeah

weirdly weapon suffixes are probably the least relevant part of the entire mod pool for most builds

[dusky cosmos]

what is spark tho?

[toxic echo]

spark charge is an ailment that deals spell dmg. a bit of a weird one. can get more details on lastepochtools. they can be really strong when built into

[dusky cosmos]

So everybody get spark when I hit an enemy with lithning?

[toxic echo]

i mean with that its only 11% on any hit. but there are skills that can get over 100% with it

[oblique dome]

@cedar locust I have a question if you can answer

[dusky cosmos]

@toxic echo looked it up, thanks

[scenic tendon]

What does “monos” mean?

[surreal verge]

Monoliths, the core end-game of LE

[scenic tendon]

Oh my I’m dumb. I thought it was like mono aka solo players lol

Thanks

[lean vortex]

How do you get in on the beta?

[surreal verge]

CT? Applications are closed.

[restive gorge]

what level ~ does campaign end at?

area level?

[lean vortex]

thats dook

Glad I got the game last year and now I cant play the current class thats being tested, why even have the early access if you're going to allow an open beta thats excluded from it.

[flint tapir]

If I duplicate an exalted using Rune of Creation, can that item still be used to make a legendary item with LP?

[surreal verge]

Yes.

[flint tapir]

can you duplicate a duplicated item or only the original?

[surreal verge]

It's supposed to be NDAed for bug testing.
There's like, 5-6 common chatters here that are in CT.

It's curated.

[toxic echo]

if you dont skip anything and get all passives and idols in ch7...around 45ish. if you go thru ch9 55ish

[buoyant sinew]

no, since duping consumes all FP and you can't dupe an item with no FP

[surreal verge]

YOu can only use the duplicate rune on an item with FP.

[flint tapir]

ah

oh ye

thx

[lean vortex]

NDA'd okay where do I sign lmao

[buoyant sinew]

you can't, applications are not open

[surreal verge]

Also there's like what, 10% that got in? I only know 3 people here that are in CT.

The CT member numbers are low

[lean vortex]

I'm in a discord chat watching someone play the beta rn lmao

[lean vortex]

Sounds like a terrible environment for testing for bugs etc

[surreal verge]

Well if EGH finds out they're going to get shot.

[leaden ice]

Dont think ive ever seen an item drop with two purple affixes yet, is there a minimum corruption for that?

[surreal verge]

Probably.

[leaden ice]

Or a dungeon people run?

[toxic echo]

if there were 10k people all submitting bugs, nothing would get done cuz of too many reports

[surreal verge]

Still better than just the dev team themselves tbf.

[lean vortex]

Should be paying them if theres only so little, thats hard work playing a game looking for bugs 😉

[surreal verge]

You get: Access to unreleased stuff
I get: bug reports so the game doesn't burn on release.

Trade Deal.

[lean vortex]

NDA was signed, making them an employee.

[fiery salmon]

imagine not being in the beta

[surreal verge]

Uhuh.
What's your point?

[lean vortex]

MONEY

Thats my point

[surreal verge]

Then maybe sign up to be an ACTUAL beta tester at a company.

Not a community-ish system for people who want to help test stuff

[lean vortex]

"Open beta" now its closed lol

lol

[steel merlin]

are you confusing stuff

[toxic echo]

Ct program is more alpha...the game is beta

[steel merlin]

if you want to play the game, just buy it

[lean vortex]

I already own it lmao

[surreal verge]

CT is a closed alpha.
The current game right now is open beta technically.

[steel merlin]

then?

[restive gorge]

???

[lean vortex]

Wanna play the new class thats in "beta"

[steel merlin]

oh

no

[surreal verge]

It's not in 'beta' it's in 'alpha'

It's still subject to changes.

[lean vortex]

Then why is it an open beta thats now closed?

[surreal verge]

Because you can have both an open beta version and a closed alpha version?

[surreal verge]

Yeah? 0.92 is the open beta version.

Whatever's beung teased for 1.0 is the closed alpha version being tested.

Which is being offically released 21th feb. (pushed to open beta)

Do you not know how versions work?

[lean vortex]

I know how early access works

[steel merlin]

are you certain

[lean vortex]

right now I'm playing a game that has shown no improvement other than posts on the game page, sort of like scrap mechanic.

[surreal verge]

That's because they're SUPPOED to come at 21th feb.

Is that hard to understand?

As in:Everyone gets access to it at 21th feb as long as they own the game.

[lean vortex]

No but why have early access and exclude people from playing current updated content?

[surreal verge]

Because it's still not final.

Or is bugged to hell and back and they rather not push it to the offical version yet.

[lean vortex]

Early access isnt final so?

If early access was final why isnt it released yet?

[surreal verge]

Oh my god this man does not understand version control.

[toxic echo]

sometimes you just gotta give up

[steel merlin]

kzb i admire your resilience

[surreal verge]

Maybe go read up on it.

[lean vortex]

Early access should be renamed outdated access at this point.

[surreal verge]

Your mental is outdated.

[lean vortex]

SO they cant upload the working versions before they move to the next stage of developement?

[cunning granite]

WARLOCK

woooooo

[surreal verge]

That assumes they're working versions.

We don't know how wonky they are.

We gotten wind that one of the nodes shown is already bugged

It could be held together by duct tape for all we know.

Would you play a version held together by duct tape and could crash at any moment? I won't.

I rather run the stable version.

(And even then it's not 100% stable)

Worse comes to worse, you don't have to argue with me, #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs exists.

Go on, ask the devs.

See what answer you get-

Oh, they left without waving to the devs

ANYWAY

[blissful zenith]

Apologies if this has been asked 1000 times, but when is 1.0 out? And will my beta character transfer or start again?

[steel merlin]

You survived, congrats

[surreal verge]

21th feb, sent to legacy/standard.

[blissful zenith]

Ah, so launch will have leagues?

[buoyant sinew]

called cycles in this game but yes

[blissful zenith]

I see, thanks both

[buoyant sinew]

similar mechanics to other aRPGs except they won't have special content, at least not yet

[steel merlin]

Yes, thought the first few won't have exclusive content

[blissful zenith]

I'll hold off until 21st Feb in that case.

[surreal verge]

You'll get used to it.

I'm nothing, if not stubborn.

That sounds more of a server issue and all taht, tho they are trying to fix it (I personally don't have a delay issue)

[limpid gale]

On west EU server , sometime you have to wait few sec , sometimes +10sec

[surreal verge]

Oh yeah, I heard EU servers are wonky as heck

[steel merlin]

Are you playing over wifi vector?

[balmy current]

Yup

[steel merlin]

Uh autocorrect

[surreal verge]

I only know like 3 that are cfmed?

So I'm not sure my numbers are correct.

[steel merlin]

Normally when it happened to me it was because of packet loss

[balmy current]

I know lots. 😉

[surreal verge]

Damnnn

[steel merlin]

They are hidden within us

[surreal verge]

Of course they are

One of them keeps giving the acolyte mains a creepy smile

As if he knows something we don't (they do)

[steel merlin]

Damn

Oh well, we hope euw servers are different on release

[balmy current]

They do

Allegedly

[steel merlin]

Cause sometimes I have better gameplay on naeast

[surreal verge]

Try a different server, like the 2nd best ping

it MIGHT help.

[steel merlin]

Problem is we go from 40 to 100 or so

I don't think there's anything close to euw

[silver sleet]

Hey guys question: Exsanguinous chest says "Timeline to target farm: Blood, Frost, and Death ("Unique or Set Body Armour" echo rewards)". I did like 5 of these , but everytime something else dropping... Am I doing something wrong or how is this a targeted farming lol ? 🙂

[steel merlin]

When you say you did five of these

[silver sleet]

5 times

[steel merlin]

You mean echoes with unique or set body armor?

[silver sleet]

yea

[buoyant sinew]

it's more targeted than waiting for it to drop randomly but not that targeted

[steel merlin]

Well, they drop any of the chests at random

[buoyant sinew]

it's like a 3% chance to drop from those echoes

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/uniquesim

[steel merlin]

If you were following a guide, exsanguinous is not the easiest thing to drop precisely

[silver sleet]

ohh gawd.. my expectation were higher than %3 😅 @steel merlin build guide was actually saying this is easy to drop but yea. I think I am bot unlucky and I have to set my expectations correctly. Well, I will continue grinding. Thank you for quick answers

[balmy current]

At 3% & 5 attempts you had a ~14% chance to drop one from those 5 attempts

It's a pretty rare chest

[steel merlin]

i think we all have borked expectatives with so many months of stored items

[hidden mica]

is there any way to stay on low life reliably in this game?

[desert tree]

There are a few uniques that drain your current life and generate ward instead

Plus an affix on gloves

[forest rain]

any pointers or ideas to look for duo comp for 1.0?

[vital coral]

If you had melee/ranged minions can dread shade hit all?

[desert tree]

Werebear Support is very nice with Cold Spell user
Paladin is quite good for Fire support

[faint cape]

Kinda, might need some area increases on dread shade

you can also clump your ranged minions in melee range by transporting them via the boot affix or skelemage

[onyx briar]

does physical penetration work for bleeds?

[native sail]

Yep

[scarlet trout]

i just got an LP2 Heart of Ukheiros but idk what to put in it :< the guide i follow on maxgg for my fire sorc has critical strike multiplier, but I wonder how to assess what to put in it. Any help plz

[native sail]

Cast speed

[scarlet trout]

it's my first legendary, I guess i should aim for a relic with crit strike, cast speed, and 2 more decent things

[native sail]

I'd say one suffix is health just because it's somewhat synergistic at least

[empty ore]

Are triggered skills supposed to be unable to get you into mana debt? I'm playing around with a high mana Javelin build and it cannot be triggered by Lounge outside when I have enough mana to spend.

[scarlet trout]

thank you ❤️

[empty ore]

I tried looking it up on the wiki, but there's nothing to say one way or the other.

[native sail]

I believe you need mana to trigger skills yes. That's part of why the Volatile Zombie Lich is so broken right now, because it just always spends mana no matter what

[empty ore]

But the same is true for Avalanche triggered off of Earthquake, though to a lesser extent: if you get a couple of aftershocks running, you can get Avalanches to run you into mana debt no problem.

[native sail]

It might be a case by case basis depending on how it is phrased

[oak wolf]

at this point, do I just spam monoliths?

[native sail]

Yep

Start moving to the next ones as quick as you can to rush to empowered

[empty ore]

I suppose I should just post up a bug report then.

[oak wolf]

I just go in to the ones that says "increased item rarity"

[native sail]

Don't bother caring about that until you're in empowered. Complete the quest monos (left side of the screen when you look at the web) and just push through each as fast as you can.

[oak wolf]

Yeah they require me "stability" so I check item rarity + the ones that give more stability

I guess I'm on the correct path here

[native sail]

[oak wolf]

finally I understood something in this game

[buoyant moat]

Ooh, a patch, but what was in the ~6gb?

[native sail]

It wasn't a 6gb patch, it was a tiny download and Steam just patches over a mass portion of the game for some reasons

[astral tiger]

Can someone explain why raptors are considered bad?

[sinful laurel]

they tend to tear your face off when you arent looking

[native sail]

Low AoE and bad clear speed

[sinful laurel]

brooo wtf is this abomination

i just die to nothing

[toxic echo]

monolith boss abmonination? he has a really hard to see physical earth pillar thing that comes up under you.

[oak wolf]

yeah but I can't dodge it

I managed to break 2 corners

but I die to DoT

[toxic echo]

oh, you dying to the soul jars?

[sinful laurel]

broken reliquaries have an aoe dot field

move

[toxic echo]

save your dash for when they die and dash to the middle quick

[oak wolf]

uuh about that "dash", I don't have it

[toxic echo]

also dont have to beat them in one shot either...do like 50%, than when abom catches up, move on to the next one

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1045075303678083153.gif?size=48&name=AINTNOWAY~1&quality=lossless

you should pretty mcuh always invest in a traversal skill

[toxic echo]

oh...you need a dash my dude

unless you are shaman storm totem with a free 40% ms constantly

[oak wolf]

okay i'll try your advices guys

going back in

fk I need stability again

[hasty scaffold]

what does uncapped resistances mean? any resistance past the 75% threshold?

or is it just a fancy way to say 'max is 75%, too bad'

[sinful laurel]

total resistance

76% resist is 76% uncapped resistance

[hasty scaffold]

so if i have 120% resistance, but max is only 75% i still have 120% uncapped?

[wind oak]

i'm doing the monoliths and after each map there's like a floaty glowing rock which gives rewards, and also a golden chest

[sinful laurel]

yes

[hasty scaffold]

thank you

[wind oak]

what's the significance?

do I just open both

[hasty scaffold]

i wish they would say total resistances instead of uncapped lol

[sinful laurel]

yes

[wind oak]

to me?

[sinful laurel]

one is the specific echo reward, one is the general stability based reward

[toxic echo]

open both

[wind oak]

I mean you don't have 120 resistance, you have 75 reisitance

to me total would be more confusing

[toxic echo]

rock is echo reward, chest is kills reward

[cunning granite]

LE vs diablo

[oak wolf]

no man this abomination is impossible

[cunning granite]

lmk what u guys think

[steel merlin]

No

[cunning granite]

hahahaha

LE all the way

[sinful laurel]

its not

you just have to learn when to move

most of the bosses direct moves dont even hurt that bad

[oak wolf]

idk i'm doing something wrong, i probably need more res

after i killed 4 corners, i had 0 pot left

[toxic echo]

y you gotta start this?

[sinful laurel]

then the boss can be damaged

move to the middle

pots are protecting boss, kill them, then kill him

[hot carbon]

may i point you to #📚┃off-topic

[toxic echo]

perhaps. phys and necro are big. fire to a lesser extent. but the soul jars have issues droppin pots

or just more hp

[oak wolf]

yeah soul jars dropped pots but when i destroyed them, they also had some aoe there

so i couldnt go there

[toxic echo]

also a problem, true. lol

[oak wolf]

man.. the guy in the guide im watching has tons of uniques and shit, he's breezing through

and i'm suffering 💀

[toxic echo]

lol. once you get used to abom, he is one if the easiest bosses tbh

just gotta get some experience

[sinful laurel]

go around the circle, go to the middle, own face

[oak wolf]

i'll kill this boss tonight no matter what

it's just i'm weak af

[sinful laurel]

you can always ask for some help too

is this unempowered?

[cunning granite]

sorry holy moly i didny think i get this much backlash

[sinful laurel]

its just "D4 bad" is the worst version of a running joke

it grates on all 6 senses

[cunning granite]

no i think i am in right place

[sinful laurel]

technically you arent lol

[oak wolf]

he's down boys

[sinful laurel]

and could def get a temp ban if you keep at it here

that body armor is very useful for new players btw

especially ones struggling to survive

[toxic echo]

woven flesh is really nice 100%

[cunning granite]

i could get a temp ban

[sinful laurel]

yup

[cunning granite]

for asking LE vs DIABLO

[sinful laurel]

if you keep bringing up something that is off the topic of LE

[oak wolf]

so I assume I can't get fire damage on this one, I'll also lose mana 😦

[sinful laurel]

i dont think there are any regular fire damage affixes on chest

but also nice 1LP on first kill

[toxic echo]

the health and the crit avoid is gonna be worth pretty much any dmg you loose

[sinful laurel]

and leech

[oak wolf]

okay I'm equipping it then

[cunning granite]

that's dumb is a genuine question about le

[hot carbon]

okay why don't we go answer it in off topic

[brazen kernel]

This has probably been asked before, but will patch 1.0 come with a continuation of the story? Or will the 1.0 story end at the same time the current patch does.

[sinful laurel]

lol censored

[toxic echo]

no story with 1.0. still missing 3 chapters

[brazen kernel]

Thats a shame. And also kind of weird. to have a full release, but not actually finishing the story

[toxic echo]

yeah. kinda. poe did it tho

[sinful laurel]

other things were more important for the devs for 1.0

[toxic echo]

and not super important game wise

just more flavor/lore

[flint yew]

well...poe released with 3 acts

i think they mean release to be having all classes out

[sinful laurel]

out of 10 haha

[flint yew]

and the main base game systems playable, the trade system and monoliths/dungeon

[hasty scaffold]

what is poison overload?

[brazen kernel]

It's not about what a different game did in the past 11 years ago and it's also not about wether or not the game is completely playable otherwise. It's more the image it presents for newer players joining. If you bought a game that is considered fully released (1.0) and 70% into the game, the game tells you, but WAIT. the story isn't done yet, go do the end-game instead. That does not send a good message.

[hasty scaffold]

i can't find what it does

[brazen kernel]

I personaly don't mind (i would have liked more story ofcourse) But newer players might be felt ripped off because of it

[sinful laurel]

its not out yet, look at warlock reveals

[sinful laurel]

you may be one of like 10 total people who cares about the full story

and not just endgame grind lol

[toxic echo]

i mean i also want the lore and story but...i also understand why its not here

kind of a sucker for pantheons of gods like LE has

[faint cape]

It's more of an experience to see the story unfold as we go along

I prefer it this way really

[sinful laurel]

honestly i agree

[hasty scaffold]

is there a way to quickly stack poison on oneself?

[sinful laurel]

aura of decay

[hasty scaffold]

that poisons you 1 stack per second, is there a way to make it faster?

[sinful laurel]

um...why?

[faint cape]

You can spec it to accelerate infinitely over time

[hasty scaffold]

thanks. can you be more specific?

[faint cape]

It's just a node

[hasty scaffold]

is it on the same aura of decay node?

tree?

[faint cape]

Skill specialization

[faint cape]

Maybe something warlocky? Idk

[hybrid fractal]

Regarding skill tree nodes that have this sort of wording - can someone clarify exactly which sources of Damned Chance would now be converted to Bleed Chance for Chaos Bolts?

X% Chance to Inflict Damned on Hit from:

1: An item affix
2: A passive tree node
3: Damned chance from this skill's own tree
4: Generic damned chance from a different skill tree (I don't think any skill tree has generic ailment chance but just in case)
5: Damned chance from another skill tree that specifies it applying to that skill e.g. "Skill X has X% chance to damn on hit"
6: Any others I'm forgetting

I'm confused because sometimes the word "global" is used but not here.

I'm assuming 1, 2, 3, and 4 would apply, but not 5.

[sinful laurel]

all sources generally means all sources

including temporary buffs from other skills

[dusky cosmos]

sleepes but it in #tooltip-hunt

[sinful laurel]

subskills from other trees are probably the only exception

[dire gale]

Hey everyone, I dabbled a bit during EA and i'm looking forward to playing once release starts. I'm just wondering if Necromancer with a big army is a viable end game build? I think I remember it not being very good when I played it last. My favorite grim dawn build was just having a big minion ball and spamming curses, was wondering if something is similar in Last Epoch.

[dusky cosmos]

It is.

[toxic echo]

it can be viable endgame. its not as good as some specific minion builds, but its plenty good

[dusky cosmos]

I dropped soo many minion uniques jesus. And btw you dont need to start with the 1.0 you can start rn too, your char will move to legacy. its no timewaiste at all 🙂

[dusky cosmos]

and btw, I dont thin eagles means you will fall off in the late game. there will be mid-circle updates and balances 🙂

[fickle mantle]

can you deal more than 1 DoT per attack? Because I see that I can get like 200+% chance Bleed or Poison

[toxic echo]

yes

[sinful laurel]

its crucial for dot builds in fact

[toxic echo]

every 100% is a stack

[fickle mantle]

cool, good to know thanks you two

[toxic echo]

same with ailments. but some ailments have caps

[sinful laurel]

all non damage ailments have caps pretty sure

and some damage ones ofc

[hybrid hill]

dont know if this is a bug or something else, the time travel tunnel animation ver show again for me. is this just 1 time and done transition even when you are playing with other characters?... or there is an option to anable it again or something?

[tawdry mulch]

What is up with that rumour of items pre-1.0 not being able to be traded? Just a silly rumour or did I miss a news post somewhere? 😛

[native sail]

That was confirmed recently by Mike

[tawdry mulch]

Prolly rumour, people go crazy i guess.

Oh

In dev stream then, gotta rewatch latest one then, thx!

[native sail]

Nope, in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs

[rich valley]

I have been enjoying the game so far. However, since I normally play offline, I was wandering about the new factions and packages being released. Are these available offline or only online?

[sinful laurel]

MG is obviously not offline

but CoF is

and of course the classes are

[dense root]

i think technically you can join mg offline

[sinful laurel]

really?

[dense root]

but your bazaar will just not have anything to buy

[sinful laurel]

huh

lol

[dense root]

that's how it was presented to me some months ago

[tawdry mulch]

Or maybe you can buy your own items? 😛

[sinful laurel]

not gonna lie, a LAN option would be rad. old school

[rich valley]

Thanks for the responses. What about the upgrade packages, the pets, cosmetics etc.

[sinful laurel]

not in offline for now

but the plan is to make them available there afaik

[rich valley]

OK. thanks

[balmy pulsar]

is there a guide how or list of things you can proc once consuming runes on runemaster skill runic invocation

[sinful laurel]

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

[balmy pulsar]

cheers thankyou

[fierce ibex]

id love a lan option tbh

spent so many hours fucking around on open bnet. having something like that here would be great, and once mods become a thing, playing those with friends would be fun

[oak wolf]

do I need to finish ALL monoliths in the story?

at least the quest ones

I'm almost 68

[candid elm]

No, you can go up the right side, do the 3 level 90s and then go into Empowered - which unlocks all of them.

You'll still have the old quests though : (

[oak wolf]

man i wish they add an option to abandon or hide quests

[candid elm]

On one character I did them all to get rid of them

Others I just ignore it

[oak wolf]

so I dont go left here, I go from Black Sun yes?

[sinful laurel]

Yes

And stay on the right side

Quicker path to the final three and empowered

[toxic echo]

And way better blessings

[oak wolf]

okay ty, now I need to fix my mana/mana regen issue :c

[sinful laurel]

Fyi, this isn't a game where you get enough that you never have to worry about it like Diablo 2 or poe

Unless your playing a zero mana generator spam build mana management is always a concern

[oak wolf]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwCbHlPqH8U

I'm following this

[toxic echo]

Boardman is a pretty good builder

[sinful laurel]

It's nice to see him back

[oak wolf]

Yeah I love his build but I can't get the items he has unless I go do empowered stuff

[sinful laurel]

There are very few things that are locked to empowered or higher corruption btw

Most things can drop in regular monos

[oak wolf]

Yeah I'm getting decent amount of uniques actually

Just not the ones I need 😄

[toxic echo]

Arpg's desire sensor is strong

[flint yew]

all my builds are made to never worry about mana I WILL NOT BE TIED DOWN

[oak wolf]

I've played 22 hours in 2 days

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1007405755583971419.webp?size=48&name=Despairge~3&quality=lossless

[flint yew]

im trying hard not to play til release but i end up trying something new for a couple hours anyway

[wind oak]

how do the blessings work, there's 1 per monolith questline or msth?

and when I complete the questline I get to choose from a random draw

and then I ca nre-run the monolith to try looting a differnt one?

[sinful laurel]

yes

to all of that lol

[wind oak]

do the monoliths level up or smth

[native sail]

You get one blessing per monolith, empowered monos give you higher variants. When you kill the boss it rolls 3 at baseline, 4 in empowered, 5 in 200 corruption, and you can select from one of those or opt to keep your current one.

[candid elm]

Yes. You defeat the last boss and it gives you a random selection from the pool that boss has and you get to pick one.

[buoyant sinew]

yes

[sinful laurel]

you get an empowered vlessing in empowered monoliths

[wind oak]

ah

[buoyant sinew]

later on you get access to empowered monos which are level 100

[wind oak]

oh i see

[buoyant sinew]

(for every timeline)

[wind oak]

ok so I'm not making permanent decisions that can brick my char

[buoyant sinew]

and yeah they give you more powerful blessings and more to choose from

no

[wind oak]

when picking belssings

[buoyant sinew]

you can always overwrite

[wind oak]

I can just blinders on and keep laying?

haha

fantastic

[sinful laurel]

i mean, dont close your eyes and pick your blessings with your feet

be somewhat sensible

but yes

just play

[buoyant sinew]

and there's a pretty even split between blessings that give direct character power and ones that don't

[candid elm]

Yeah, have fun. You can always change them later.

It's mostly left side has +drops, right side has +buffs.

[candid elm]

The only things you can't change is your initial class and the mastery

[livid pike]

Anyone know if the cosmetics inside the Deluxe and Ultimate editions will be available for individual purchase?

[faint cape]

Probably not for as long as the editions exist, which there are currently no plans to change them

[wind oak]

ok, trying to learn more about crafting and gaining more fluency with the different systems. What can I do with an item like this? Could/should I try to use rune of removal to free up some slots and then craft other mods on?

I guess either it frees up a slot, or I "brick" it by pulling 6 resist shards which is an ok result too

[faint cape]

Rune of removal is generally a tool for salvaging. It is an absolute worst case crafting material I'd only recommend using if the item is already bricked and the only way to save it is a removal

[wind oak]

is there anything I can do with that ring then or woud it be considered "not great"

[faint cape]

Despair is sometimes very good to free up an affix slot that has a T1 affix in it

otherwise, I just chaos spam... but that may not be optimal, idk 😂

[wind oak]

OH THAT'S WHAT chaos does

[faint cape]

Personally, if I were crafting this, maybe I'd chaos the necro or minion damage and if it doesn't brick, despair the poison res and put health in its place

but your build needs may differ

[wind oak]

yeah no this is exacdtly what I needed, thanks

i'm not trying to get "what should I do in this exact case" I'm trying to learn "what can I do"

you helped a lot ty

[timber drum]

Is there a character reset with 1.0?

[sinful laurel]

#1161416976321744896

[timber drum]

ty

[fickle mantle]

in Puncture: "greater Puncture" refers to the 3rd aka Empowered Puncture right?

because for some reason any and all Punctures eats the stacks

[sinful laurel]

its a bug atm it seems

[fickle mantle]

yeah, I even removed mutilate and it's still proccing lmao

[dawn pollen]

did anyone else just have to update their game?

[wind oak]

are there some shards that cannot drop as shards and must be salvaged?

[sinful laurel]

once you remove mutilate it should stop

[fickle mantle]

it still continued happening but then fixed itself on the next map.

too bad, I really liked the idea of stacking up and then popping it

[sinful laurel]

yeah i know

and when it works it works well

idk when it broke but it did get reported

[faint cape]

No, but most class-specific shards are stupidly rare as raw shard drops

as well as the other rare affixes (hybrids, pen, ward)

[wind oak]

how does forging potential roll, It seems like purple items (exalted?) tend to drop with much higher forging potential

is that expected/intended or

[fickle mantle]

expected and intended.

[wind oak]

• a chance to drop with much higher, I have seen several with just 20some potential also

[fickle mantle]

higher level items tend to have higher potential

but that too is also all about the luck

just that exalteds tend to be on the higher number

[wind oak]

is "item level" a concept in this game

or does it not matter perhaps since once an Item is generated the ilvl doesn't matter anymore

[fickle mantle]

item level is not a concept.

there's only "item bases"

[dusty vine]

Hello everyone, sorry if this the wrong place to ask this question; I've had this game since 2020 and I have enjoyed it on and off through out the years, but recently in the past couple of months I've been unable to play in offline mode. Online works fine and dandy but the latency is too high (180 SEAsia) on a good day for me to really enjoy some builds that require a more reactive gameplay. I have already looked online and saw that other people have experienced the same problems. Tried following their methods but my offline mode is not working. I even went as far to uninstall and redownload the game, updated my drivers, etc. If anyone can point me to the right direction to get this fix, that would be greatly appreciated. May RNGSUS bless you.

[fickle mantle]

well to be fair there IS itemlevel on this game but those just mean they drop at that specific level. Their Implicits will never change

here's an example. Rogue armors.

[native sail]

"Item level" is really just "what level does the area need to be for this base to drop"

[wind oak]

right

not the same as the concept of ilvl in other games

[faint cape]

Also is the min level req for the base

[mighty nova]

What's the problem, specifically? Does it just not let you in at all in offline mode? Right now, offline isn't "true" offline- it still needs to contact an auth server. In 1.0, they're adding true 100% offline, and that might help?

[faint cape]

Area level does influence what generates on the item when dropped kinda like ilvl, but it doesn't affect it for crafting etc.

[random sun]

I was under the impression of "same base type" was Body armor in general here, but is it Robe vs Body armor?

[dusty vine]

game will freeze if i try to start in offline. then, I will swap over to online and click my character there, it'll start off with the offline character

skills

but wrong toon.

by then the game is bricked

[native sail]

Nope, body armor is body armor.

[random sun]

Trying to make a legendary out of those two in the screenshots but it says they're conflicting, hence why I'm scratching my head rn

[native sail]

Well yeah

One of those is Acoylte only

One is Sentinel

[undone otter]

We just today added Hong Kong servers

[native sail]

That's conflicting

[dusty vine]

but i'm hoping 1.0 fixes all of this. just waiting patiently.
