[oak wolf]

dropped from a boss

[wicked plover]

i love to use that item as well until i get my crit avoid fixed on other items

or get the empowered blessing

[oak wolf]

yeah people said it's a good beginner item

[dense root]

it is

capping crit avoid is really important

[near path]

it's a good bandaid for now

[pastel pebble]

I avoided it a long, long time

[near path]

eventually you'll want to get the crit reduction affixes on other gear so you can use a real armor

[viral kettle]

so i cant see the dmg numbers on training dummies? whats their purpose then lol?

[wicked plover]

have you turned dmg numbers off

[viral kettle]

i didnt but, i am gonna check again, brb

[surreal verge]

Are you in champion's gate?

[viral kettle]

yea

auf

dmg nr was turned off lol

idk how, bcs i have it on

forget you are reading this:P

[steel merlin]

saved

[viral kettle]

i was kinda hoping they would be more help...is the spell tooltip acurate, i can just go by that?

i am comparing disintigrate to fireball, and its hard lol

bcs fireball also applies lot of ailments

[wicked plover]

it gives you a good estimate
but it's very dependent on the circumstances, your buffs, other effects that dont directly show in the tooltip dps

[near path]

tooltip is garbonzo

[wicked plover]

tooltip dps is just base dmg, dmg scaling, attack speed, crit
so anythign outside of that

you gotta adjust

[near path]

please don't believe tooltip

there are too many conditional buffs and debuffs in this game to trust tooltip

[viral kettle]

so, i have 60% chance to poison on hit.. is that shown anywhere in the tooltip?

[near path]

use dummies in the arenas for much greater reliability

[viral kettle]

never been in one yet, i am new:P

died with my mage hc level 50, so i am fooling around now:P

[near path]

you'll get there, it's in Heoborea

unlock it and you can use the dummies for DPS testing

[viral kettle]

yea i know, i discovered it

so i just enter one?

i guess on sc there is no risk lol

ok

[near path]

I mean, you don't need to start an Arena match

in the Arena town zone there are dummies

you can test there

[viral kettle]

aha

tnx

is death in arena also permanent for hc characters?

[true heron]

Is the "freezing point" passive talent for runemaster bugged? it says it converts shred armor into frostbite chance, but i have an item which gives + armor shred chance, however on my character details window when i equip/unequip the item it does not affect the frostbite chance?

[viral kettle]

i need a key lol

[dense root]

character sheet is notoriously unreliable

[surreal verge]

Key not needed to access the lobby of arena, which is where the dummies are.

[near path]

you do not need a key to enter Arena town area

only to start Arena

if it's asking for key then you're trying to start Arena

[surreal verge]

It's only for cold spells.

[viral kettle]

but i am already there, testing the dummies

[near path]

walk around the area till you find the dummies

[surreal verge]

Which means the sheet doesn't track it

[near path]

ah ok

[viral kettle]

did you mean some other dummies?

[surreal verge]

Use the far left one.

[true heron]

so it works, but does not show up in the character details window?

[surreal verge]

Yes, because the char details window only tracks generic ones.

Not specific ones.

[true heron]

okay thanks

[ancient dagger]

is paladin a decent class?

[wicked plover]

yes

[ancient dagger]

I know you should play what you like I'm just wondering if it's any good meta wise

[viral kettle]

i would be more helpful if dummies had fixed hp so you can time how long you kill it with each spell then this honestly:P

[native sail]

The current meta is Runemaster. And Lich bug abuse. Druid is also insane.

[surreal verge]

They do!
It's just VERY high

The "No actual boss comes close to their hp" kind of high

[viral kettle]

really lol.. which one has the lowest bcs my dmg is pitiful:P

[surreal verge]

None, they're all the same

[native sail]

Okay tbf, higher corruption Orobyss passes 2bil HP

[near path]

Smite Hammerdin is an incredibly strong meta build but obv it won't hold a candle to LL minmaxing or bug abusers

[surreal verge]

Who touches THAT

[ancient dagger]

what is LL?

[near path]

low life

[native sail]

Leo did and uh... yeah that's it now, don't think anyone who reached that point is left in the server

[ancient dagger]

oh ok ty

[cold latch]

i bought this packet via website but in game it shows to pay

the other ultimate edition says : You have it

What should i do?

[toxic echo]

if you got the wrong thing...maybe support

!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.

[ancient dagger]

how do I open the mini map for it to be bigger

I don't mean to full map

[surreal verge]

Tab?

[cold latch]

Any dev here?

[surreal verge]

!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.

[cold latch]

I bought it and paid for it but in game it still show me option to buy it.

[toxic echo]

please go fill out a support ticket, like you have been told twice now. no dev is going to fix this in a discord channel

[cold latch]

ok

I have discovered

[misty zenith]

Will first cycle introduce new content?

[cold latch]

So after buying a supporter pack via website we are getting on our email steam key and with this key we are activating product.

[surreal verge]

No, There's no cycle specific content

[misty zenith]

Oh, so it's just a reset?

[toxic echo]

new content is new classes and item factions. but both cycle and legacy get the content

and of course various bug fixes/balancing etc

[true heron]

do i unlock empowered blessings just by keep beating the timeline boss? currently i can only pick from 4/5 one is still locked?

like beat the boss again and then i can pick from 5/5?

[surreal verge]

Yes. The 5th slot is unlocked by reaching 200 corruption.

[true heron]

ah okay, thanks

[buoyant roost]

Hey all, can the Upheaval totem still grant the master of totem buff? (Both nodes from Upheaval)

[true heron]

and the selection is randomized? because https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/monolith/fall-of-the-outcasts/empowered/blessings shows a total of 10 available blessings... but the selection at the end is only a total 5?

[faint cape]

Yep, random each run

[true heron]

okay thanks

[toxic echo]

yes...blessings and random. first slot only has 1 of 3, the other 2-4 slots pick between the rest

[desert tree]

Yes

[hexed remnant]

@surreal verge LOL I GOT IN! PRAISE JEUBS! XD

[surreal verge]

how the fuck

[hexed remnant]

Found an old tread from WW2 on the forum, disable Cloud Save and rename save folder in LocalLOW xD

[faint cape]

TunkLab actually shows the chance you'll see any particular blessing

[weary cradle]

how the hell do you truly disable chat.

Disabling it from the main Social - Menu does nothing. even after restarting. Disabling "Public" does nothing.

I see constantly people chatting popping up.

[sinful laurel]

You don't sadly

[toxic echo]

think its still bugged?

[sinful laurel]

Not yet

[weary cradle]

omg.

[surreal verge]

Bugged, the disable button is bugged

[near path]

you just suffer

[weary cradle]

thanks.

[sinful laurel]

Lessons for life

[surreal verge]

The good news is that it's a known bug

[near path]

listen to all the clueless tools give each other terrible advice

[weary cradle]

I guess there is less people in offline?

[near path]

just you

[sinful laurel]

There are definitely less people in offline lol

[weary cradle]

I am talking about the chat itself.

[desert tree]

99% sure last time I played it was disabled

[toxic echo]

thought chat was in offline too...since its not true offline rn

and its a seperate server

from the game

[weary cradle]

I see.

[near path]

1.0 comes with true offline

[weary cradle]

because I tried offline briefly first. then I read you will never be able to export any offline char. ever. so I thought that... if I am going to test a char anyway before release, I could try online.

and chat was just even worse.

I don't want to block everyone either.

well. thanks for the replies.

now I am not sure I want to play before release.

[near path]

honestly don't IMO. There's a huge bunch of fixes that are supposedly coming

[sinful laurel]

Yeah and don't burn yourself out before 1.0

Plenty of time to play after 🙂

Does anyone remember the name of the guy who developed the new build planner?

[vital coral]

Is marked for death a more multiplier to damage?

[weary cradle]

I just closed it.

one of the coolest things is to test mechanics and builts by your own. how the game works. how to optimize everything.

and meanwhile seeing stuff in the chat like: "is max level 100 ????" is annoying the hell out of me beyond the mere "distsraction".

it's like being at the mercy of RNG to get or not spoiled.

not so much about story, which is something I usually don't care much about in any game (even though depends on the genre/game). but rather discovering the game myself as a whole.

[vital coral]

yeah 100 is max level

[near path]

bruh

[weary cradle]

it's a bit crazy that such a simple feature isn't working being the game so close to release.

[near path]

so I asked devs about this

[weary cradle]

only heard good things about this game and wanted to do a break from Diablo 4 and its incompetent devs. and here I can't even disable a simple chat. lmao

[toxic echo]

lots of stuff was put on hold for the 1.0 release, instead of smaller patches for the game, so they can focus on 1.0

[native sail]

Interestingly I know my chat can be turned off

[near path]

I'm not a comp sci guy so what I understood it as was the fact that there are versions of the server, and they are working on the final version for 1.0 rather than releasing increments because they are focusing effort that way

[vital coral]

You have a great game ahead and you are complaining about reading chat

[near path]

if they were to release incremental fixes it would be a LOT more work

[weary cradle]

I see.

[near path]

so while I also hate it, I can understand why it is the way it is

hence, best to wait it out. I haven't played since Oct

[native sail]

I have to disable my chat every time I login to a character but I can disable it

[true heron]

so my GPU is allways chilling at like 30-40%. at 100+ FPS..but when there is high mob density on certain echos my fps drop to 20-30...rtx 2080s, does not matter wether or not i play on ultra or all low graphics

[faint cape]

It's prowner, iirc

[true heron]

have they said anything about fixing those horrible FPS drops???

[faint cape]

It takes a lot of effort and time to release a stable build, so they just didn't

[steel merlin]

That planner lost the ability to remove points from tree overnight

[weary cradle]

of course I am complaining about being forced to read/get distracted by a chat.

like I would do the same if some text was constantly popping up in any other games. being Tekken, Diablo, DMC, Tetris... I am not streaming reading some general chat of people I want to read. I am forced to see lines and lines popping up with potential spoilers.

this is a major flaw regardless of how good is the rest of the game.

[faint cape]

that planner has quite a few issues, yeah

work in progress at least

[steel merlin]

It's already improved since two days ago so there is that

[true heron]

you can just disable the chat tho?

[faint cape]

no

[true heron]

yes, click the cogwheel and hit "

"disable chat"

[weary cradle]

technically it worked for me only once from many attempts. then I entered a new zone and suddenly a bunch of dialogue appeared again.

[faint cape]

the discussion is around the fact that the disable chat feature doesn't function

[weary cradle]

will try again and let you know...

[true heron]

i clicked "disable chat" and my chat is gone...seems to work just fine

[faint cape]

but it's okay, in 1.0 if you play full offline, there won't even be a chat for you to disable (and hopefully for online it'll be fixed)

[weary cradle]

I was using the general "Social" option to disable it and the one in the chat itself. along with "unchecking": Public.

but I had not tried the wheel. assuming it's different, will try it now and will let you know.

[true heron]

it works on the cogwheel

after like 5-10 seconds the box will disapear aswell

[faint cape]

it re-enables every time you transition zones, unless they fixed that also

once you are in end game, you don't transition zones very often, so it's largely an early game issue

[true heron]

im doing echos all day with disabled chat tho

[faint cape]

yeah exactly, when running echoes you never transition

[weary cradle]

this definitely doesn't work for me. not sure why.

at most it worked once (unless people were quiet). then I entered the second zone and suddenly saw people talking again.

[true heron]

oh well then

sadly lots of bugs

[weary cradle]

wondering if it could have something to do with the fact that I am playing with the controller. even though I checked and there is nothing binding chat options to the controller (the hypothesis would be that I am re-enabling the chat myself without knowing it somehow with the controller). even though anyway I tried just disabling and doing nothing.

[faint cape]

yeah, it seems EHG doesn't have a 'small bug fix' pipeline, so a lot of small bugs just have been sitting around for a while - hopefully 1.0 has a wave of fixes, we'll see

[round portal]

I see some people can equip 2 golden guppy pet, but cannot, anyone know the reason ?

[toxic echo]

expecting a 60 page patch notes on 1.0 lol

[true heron]

game will be great tho when they fix the bugs and the performance, but i cant see them do it all with 1.0

[toxic echo]

good thing they have had nearly a year since the last big patch to fix em

[limpid maple]

Said should be at least equivalent to previous major patches. Best thing to compare to probably be .9 notes. I'd expect that size or larger

[toxic echo]

yeah, but also 2 entire classes and item factions. its not just balance and fixes. tons of new content as well

[weary cradle]

nah. I give up.

will play on release.

thanks for all the replies though.

and trying to help.

much appreciated.

I think I will leave the server as well to avoid spoilers.

at least I can disable "this" chat.

lmao

[acoustic thicket]

If I die I can't revive

Unless I restart the game

Is there already a solution for this?

[true heron]

never had that happen, dunno

[acoustic thicket]

It's no fun like that

[lunar sonnet]

i'm currently playing a primalist, what causes a dummy to spawn?

[toxic echo]

do you have arboreal ring on?

[lunar sonnet]

yep that the one, thanks

[deep ravine]

friends how do i find shade of orobyss 🥲

[tribal bone]

pick a direction in the monolith

and beeline it

[dawn orbit]

when i for example have 5 crafting potential and the next upgrade will take 1-10 and 6 or more is coming. i assume the upgrade fails. Does the mats are gone? and is the crafting potential still at 5 or goes it to 0?

[toxic echo]

if you have 5 FP and the craft will take 1-10. if it rolls a 6 or higher, the craft will still go thru, but you cannot craft on it anymore

[wicked plover]

that means that will be simply your last craft on that item

[dawn orbit]

thanks you both

is there a way to permanently show the advances stats of an item which i see when i press ALT?

cant find something in the settings

[toxic echo]

there should be an auto compare toggle...but i still think you need to press a button to see rolls

[dawn orbit]

thanks, the toogle for comparing i already found. but looks like there is no toogle for the other stuff

[faint cape]

I think this is a bug where the edition 'upgrade' packs grant the golden guppy (which they didn't need to since the golden guppy is already part of the base game)

[solar comet]

I created 2 offline character found characters and they don't share loot as stated. Is that intended?

[faint cape]

Yes, character found means that character only. The description text when you were creating your character is bugged.

The default behavior for offline is 'solo account found' (which is what that 'solo character found' checkbox describes)

You can migrate your two SCF characters to SAF, but everything in their stashes will be deleted (grab everything you want into your character's inventory before migrating)

crafting materials and gold are in your stash, so you won't have any after the transfer, but you'll get that back up pretty quick

[tribal bone]

Is there a way to actually scale warpath well with abyssal tempest

[faint cape]

Is that the one that procs abyssal echoes? If so, no

[solar comet]

omg that's so detailed, thanks very kindly

[tribal bone]

https://tenor.com/view/sadgecry-sadge-cry-gif-18423674

[solar comet]

In terms of bugged texts, all the detailed info text in my game guide are slightly blurred and overflowed. Not sure if its bugged or I need to adjust my display settings

[buoyant sinew]

it's a common bug, hopefully fixed in 1.0

[vocal haven]

Given that falconer's picture had daggers and traps, is there still not going to be a dedicated spear user?

[toxic echo]

it has a passive node for 2h spear. but thats all we know. maybe more in skills

[vocal haven]

Ok, was really hoping for more spear support with full release since it kinda feels off to the wayside compared to other weapon types

[toxic echo]

yeah. spears are not in a great spot overall. there are some builds that use em tho...but it definately feels a bit lackluster

[true heron]

where are the target dummies?

ive seen videos of people testing damage on target dummies...im wondering where they are?

[faint cape]

There will never be a dedicated spear user

[faint cape]

If you have an arena key, right click it

otherwise, you have to find the arena town, it's divine era west of heoborea

Champion's Gate or something like that

[true heron]

ok thanks

[acoustic thicket]

This is with "very low" brightness setting. Is there any other setting that might cause the high brightness (and low contrast)? Looks so muted compared to my other games

I'd love to be able to make it look more like this

[candid elm]

Where are you currently, so I can go there and see what it looks like on my end?

[acoustic thicket]

Thanks! It's at the center of the first hub you reach as a new character (Divine Era). Keeper's Camp I think

[viral kettle]

ok, i suppose i died there, but the screen just halted w/o any message and nothing i can do?

should i just relog?

maybe i am not dead? 😛

[leaden tundra]

can you change specializations and if not are there plans to make this a thing?

[candid elm]

Yeah looks about the same on mine as well. There's definitely areas that look darker, though. Like here's in End of Time

[candid elm]

No, you'd have to make a new character if you wanted a different specialization. Your initial class choice and specialization are the only things you can't change, though. You can change your skills, passives, blessings, etc.

[buoyant sinew]

and there are no plans to make it a thing, the devs have been very clear about wanting it to be permanent

[acoustic thicket]

Alright thanks for the test/confirmation 👍

[agile junco]

This should apply to melee too, right? Or only bows? When I press ALT nothing shows up for concentration

[buoyant roost]

Does morr spell damage include dot ailments inflicted by spells

[agile junco]

Only increased dot damage and fire damage works for ignite afaik

[wicked plover]

global dmg , so yes applies to everything

[sage shale]

does game get season on full release?

[faint cape]

He's an older gentleman, he just needs a nap periodically

[toxic echo]

yes

[faint cape]

If the DOT applied deals spell damage, yes. If it's one of those standard ailments like bleed or ignite, those do not deal spell damage.

[weary hill]

Hello, my friend is stuck in the divine era, he doesn't have any quest anymore and can't go through the next zone.
Anyone know what he could've missed ?

[toxic echo]

where in the divine era...you visit a few times

[weary hill]

He can't access to the Northen Road

[toxic echo]

there is no reason to revisit nothern road. once you beat orian in the summit, you go to keepers camp, talk to leena and balthas, and get teleported to the ruined era

[zinc cliff]

Are certain items target farmable in campaign maps? I just got The Invoker's Frozen Heart and The Invoker's Scorching Grasp literally 1 pack after the other in The Lower Sewers - Imperial Era, seems like ridiculous odds?

[near path]

Bit lucky but theoretically everything is target farmable in monoliths

[weary hill]

@toxic echoThanks ! that was it

[zinc cliff]

Not sure what they are, I'm currently doing the story quests

[near path]

Most items are general drops as long as the area level meets their item level

There are some boss specific items

In monoliths, the endgame system, you can find "maps" or echoes that you can run to get rewards of a specific type, like say unique rings, which help you "target farm" things

[zinc cliff]

Yeah that makes sense, I was just curious that I got these 2 set items even in the same area, let alone within 1 pack of eachother. Made me wonder if there was target farming like you had in PoE with certain campaign maps having high drop rates for certain div cards

[sharp current]

Just lucky

[near path]

Not really no. You just got lucky

[zinc cliff]

Time to get a lottery ticket then

[near path]

As in PoE some uniques are just more common than others

[sharp current]

Too late, you just used the luck on the drops. Should have bought the lottery ticket first.

[zinc cliff]

[deep ravine]

hi guys whats top 3 flashiest builds to play

[sinful laurel]

The ones you like the most

[desert pebble]

when is falconeer class reveal?

I saw we have passive points now but im not that knowledgeable

to see how will class be

[buoyant sinew]

8th

[true heron]

when doing Empowered Monolith, what is the point in doing the optional quest echoes?

[flint yew]

if its a difficult boss you can get rid of some damage modifiers doing those

since they dont add mods

[true heron]

but do they add stability?

[flint yew]

nope

[true heron]

so doing them removes modifier?

[flint yew]

it eats up 1 area of modifiers without adding anything

[true heron]

ok

[flint yew]

so dont do it if you can handle the boss since you lose the rarity/quant it gives

[true heron]

if you loose an echo does it add the enemy modifiers?

[near path]

nope

[dusky cosmos]

How much corruption do you add to the web in avarage?

[near path]

varies the further out you go

idk how it will be when the system changes in 1.0

[dusky cosmos]

How do you add corruption to the web?

just with these onces:

[near path]

by killing Orobyss. The further out from the web you kill him, the more corruption you get

[hasty tartan]

Looking at a starter build for wolf beastmaster, am I right that it's a mistake to skip axe and claw passive, or is it just due to point starvation?

[dusky cosmos]

this is orobyss right?

[near path]

yes

[true heron]

the more gaze of orobyss you have the more corruption u get

[near path]

if you're phys wolves do NOT skip that passive

flat phys is a hard to find stat

[hasty tartan]

Thanks, can I link the planner and get a suggestion on what to remove?

[near path]

idk your build

[hasty tartan]

I thought they scaled hard with flat phys

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/zQqpXO2A\

[dusky cosmos]

thanks

[near path]

I'd dunk Life in the Wilderness

[hasty tartan]

Would keeping it at 1 point be OK?

I get 7 points that way and can max flat phys there

[near path]

yeah I mean it's the least important passive node in your tree

whatever points you need, take from it

[hasty tartan]

Thanks. I just remembered flat phys / flat damage in general seems to be really good for wolves

Tunklab says they only have 18 base but have 100% scaling

[near path]

in general the more you get of the stat that's the least available, the more of an impact it has

%inc damage is easy to get

[hasty tartan]

Makes sense mathematically yea

[near path]

Wolves tree has a LOT of more multi

that leaves you with flat

[hasty tartan]

As of druid tree, what do you think about spirit warden? Replace with chitinous plating maybe?

[near path]

Chitinous is significantly better yes

takes pressure off gearing

[hasty tartan]

Thanks, I'll switch that too then.

I also added a point to hunters of the deep so my wolves actually get shark aspect

[static blaze]

how do i avoid getting one shot i have every resistances to like 60% and my crit avoidance is 134%

[near path]

oh fuck you didn't have that

RIP

[hasty tartan]

Got the build off youtube, wanted to make sure I was actually fixing errors

[near path]

more health, other defensive layers, try to cap all resistances (Necro / Poison is a bit light)

[hasty tartan]

rather than adding points where they didn't need to be

[near path]

armor / block / endurance / dodge / glancing blows / movement speed are other defensive layers

[static blaze]

ok thx

[hasty tartan]

I'm in a3, I can safely hide white items, right?

[true heron]

yes

[hasty tartan]

Thanks

[agile junco]

To make a legendary item do I need to use the sabe subtype for both items? (dagger + dagger)? Or just the main type (one-handed + one-handed)

[buoyant sinew]

dagger + dagger

[agile junco]

Crap

[hazy zinc]

When do the current supporter packs expire?

[candid elm]

I don't think there's been any posts about that yet. There will likely be an announcement if/when that happens. There was a post that the Deluxe and Ultimate versions and those upgrades aren't going away when 1.0 launches. The only thing from that not available in the future is the golden guppy pet - which everyone gets if they own Last Epoch before 1.0.

[dawn orbit]

I just picked my mastery. On the passives there is written 75% void melee dmg. Does i need to unlock it or does i have it automaticcally?

[hazy zinc]

i see, thank you 🙂

[candid elm]

The stuff in the lower left corner are passive bonus from taking that mastery. For Void Knight that's the +75% increased melee void damage, 10% echo chance, and the skill unlock for Erasing Strike. You just get those automatically when you take that mastery.

Note that you can also put skill points in the unselected masteries, up to that chain graphic that's going do the middle of the other two.

[lunar sonnet]

A friend of mine is stuck on entering a new zone "entering zone x", anyone has a fix for this issue?

does this mean that the explosion only scales off spell dmg, and not minion dmg?

It scales from Fire minion dmg, Physical minion, Spell minion, minion dmg

[peak oracle]

so its still only scaled by minions, thx

what about the marrow shards? If i make them trigger some

[wide sentinel]

i should join the club

[desert tree]

You can find spell minion and physical minion dmg

That would work

[desert tree]

Can they do that?

[desert tree]

"When a zombie dies YOU have a chance..."

So since you are casting Marrow Shards, it scales from your dmg

[peak oracle]

ah ew

i was thinking of triggering my own zombies explosions, but if i have to scale minion dmg AND my dmg, i fear its gonna be rough

[desert tree]

Yeah it's a bad idea

[vital coral]

Is marked for death a more multiplier to damage?

[desert tree]

Yes but it's additive with penetration and shred

[peak oracle]

that being multiplicative wouldve been dumb

[desert tree]

What is this planner?

[peak oracle]

https://arreatsummit.gg/last-epoch/builds/planner

its sadly the only one that has warlock enabled for now...

[desert tree]

Yeah, it's because (dont know about Maxroll) Letools use game data to make his.

And since well... The warlock is not in game

[buoyant sinew]

maxroll has this page that has all of warlock in a planner format, but not in the planner itself 😦

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/news/warlock-wrap-up-falconer-teaser

[desert tree]

Changed your name?

[buoyant sinew]

a little

[peak oracle]

yeah thats what really annoys me lol

i wanna use maxroll, but i cant

i figure they may do it after they reveal Falconer

[buoyant sinew]

that was how the falconer passives leaked so probably

[viral kettle]

do you know if its a known bug that my spells (disintegrate to be precise) keep respecing on its own lol?

[dense root]

if you think you've found a bug just report it

[desert tree]

Do you have items with + skill?

[dense root]

they would rather get duplicates or get reports that turn out not to be bugs than have things go unreported

[viral kettle]

i have it that it gets mana on kill, and every so often i lose that node lol

[desert tree]

Do you have items with +level to skills? Like +x level to Disintegrate

[viral kettle]

let me see

nope

[desert tree]

No +lvl to all skill, or fire skill, nothing at all?

[viral kettle]

it can be when i find some new item and i quickly equip it and remove it dps is lower?

can that unequip the node?

[desert tree]

Because loosing the same node over and over looks like you are putting on gear that give you extra level to Disintegrate and then removing it (and maybe putting it back on)

[viral kettle]

hm, ok, will look out for that in the future, make sense

[dire marsh]

Might be a bit weird.. but what's the best speedy build that doesn't require much setup.. like I played umbral blades BD, but just not really a fan of having to use sync strike every time to do dmg. Also with lich having to manage reaper/death seal cooldowns.. especially death seal having such little uptime xd feels horrible

[sinful laurel]

to be clear, you dont have to use SS every time

and UB BD, especially the Shadow daggers version, is one of the smoothest fastest gameplays in the entire game

[dire marsh]

Well yes and no. Just shifting from a pack doesn't really kill the pack in my experience since it's like 1 umbral blade that gets popped

[rugged marlin]

Hello! I really like this game but I have a big trouble. I losing connection to server when changing area in game. It happens maybe 4 of 5 times, so I can repass one area many times in a row. Could you help me?

[sinful laurel]

then your damage is low

one SC plus bladestorm should be enough for sure

[livid bear]

Can anyonce confirm, if I leave my legndary item inside the forge in Temporal sanctum and leave the dungeon do i lose the item forever?

[sinful laurel]

for trash

[sinful laurel]

pretty sure they fixed it that you can get it back if you go back in

[dire marsh]

Idk feels high for early monos but if the blade pops fast the aoe is also small

[sinful laurel]

what? the aoe is the aoe, you are using bladestorms right?

dont use explosions for trash

or for general echoing

[livid bear]

so i need to do same dungeon again and kill boss again to get to the forge?

[dire marsh]

Hmm? Idk there's a passive that increases explosion aoe when the blades linger longer

[lyric raptor]

Can someone help me understand how bleed works. According to the game guide it says that "By default each stack deals 53 damage over a 3 second duration". So lets say i manage to get 200 stacks on an opponent (not unusual for my build atm) - When i look at the damage ticks, i only see 300-500 damage being chipped away each second. However 200*53 = 10,600 --> 10,600/3 = ~3533, meaning that it should tick ~3533 per second, but it doesnt

[sinful laurel]

yeah i know, and thats fine for bosses that need to be burst down

but for general mapping, its MUCH smoother and faster to have them not explode and keep spinning

that plus a low shift CD and you can literally just shift through maps

[dense root]

enemies have damage reduction

also ticks are more than once per second i'm pretty sure

[dire marsh]

Really? Feels like such small aoe without the bigger aoe explosion.. and shift only throws down 1 blade

[sinful laurel]

if you take 4/4 in the bladestorm aoe it is fine, but if you dont like it then get used to SS lol

thats the explode UB playstyle

or throw them yourself

[desert tree]

Yep

[lyric raptor]

Well, if i hit 3500 with a regular hit, i see their health going down with a chunk. However, the bleed alone is rather slow even, meaning that it isnt 3500 per second. But i guess the damage reduction could be the issue, however i will do some calculation and come back

[dire marsh]

Hmm really.. but killing the mobs so far behind also kinda feels bad because you don't see loot drop anymore xd it's already kinda bad with explosions if you shift away

[desert tree]

Don't forget your increase dmg and more dmg from your skill in your calculations

[sinful laurel]

I play a non bladestorm explode UB FYI

[sinful laurel]

yeah thats one of the only drawbacks of the UB SD playstyle

the loot missed

[near path]

imagine how many Ravvy's and Red Rings you've left behind smh

[sinful laurel]

at least 0

[near path]

could even be greater than -1

[dense root]

no

[sinful laurel]

that seems imaginary

[candid spire]

Yes

[dire marsh]

I'm also kinda anxious about defences for pushing high corruption later but that's mostly just how I think about rogues from most games xd some people say BD can be really tanky and sentinel isn't really tanky

[dense root]

you being in denial doesn't change the facts sorry

[dire marsh]

(I only played for a few days)

[dense root]

no discount on release

[sinful laurel]

BD is decidedly not super tanky without some key mechanics

BDs main defenses function best on the go

always moving

[near path]

CAN get quite tanky though situationally

[sinful laurel]

yes

[near path]

which is kinda what you need

[sinful laurel]

if you wanna push corr yup

[near path]

best defense for corruption pushing = high speed, quick movement

[dire marsh]

Pushing corr seems fun even though i never did any empowered monos yet xd

[sinful laurel]

its...fun until its not

[dire marsh]

But yeah missing loot sounds pretty bad

[sinful laurel]

honestly, you are likely not missing much killing trash

95% of your drops come from elites and bosses

and the caches after

[near path]

I'm not gonna say that you don't find loot from mobs

HOWEVER

[dire marsh]

Since you also can't really make loot filter gear show on map with icon like uniques

[sinful laurel]

nope, not yet

[near path]

a huge chunk of "good" loot comes from objective drops and end of mono rewards

[keen quiver]

that would be a really nice addition to the already superb loot filtr

[dire marsh]

Yeh seems like the only con I could think of after a few days xd

Would be nice

But doesn't really matter for most builds realistically

[dire marsh]

Ye I get it.. just feels very wrong coming from other arpgs

[sinful laurel]

well, last thing I will say is there is a good reason so much of the BD playerbase ends up playing a good chunk of UB SD

[peak oracle]

i mean... you simply NEVER get good loot in PoE drops lol

at least here you get some

[dire marsh]

Well it's like the main viable BD build it seems? Idk

[sinful laurel]

its not that its the main one, its that its the most simple braindead one

and people love one button shit they can smash their face on a keyboard, not think and do well

[dire marsh]

I know the lightning chakram is strong and stuff but kinda looks like the exact same gameplay xd just different skill gets popped from clones

[sinful laurel]

its a bit of different gameplay tbh

more like what you are playing now

you SS and then chakram and they shotgun out from you and your shadows

and yes, its very strong

[dire marsh]

Yeh that seems fun for bosses but idk how fun that'd be for long sessions mono farming

[sinful laurel]

well again, for mono farming you dont need to SS

the chakram is big enough and definitely enough damage

that you can throw and move on repeat

come up on an elite, one SS and chakram and everything is dead, move on

[dire marsh]

Yeah i just hate leaving mobs alive when I attack a pack of mobs lol

Ocd

[sinful laurel]

then play shadow cascade

still SS gameplay

but melee

[dire marsh]

Might have to try the non explody thing so I don't have to SS all the time

Paladin/VK also seemed to have some nice braindead builds but slow

[sinful laurel]

idk what you mean by slow but

i wouldn't agree

[dire marsh]

Just what i've seen.. slow base movespeed in the class/spec passives and no real dash ability without a target

[buoyant sinew]

paladin and VK have some fast braindead builds

main issues can be single target damage and tankiness

[wide sentinel]

you just press shield rush and skip 90% of echo

[sinful laurel]

it seems like the combo of things you want is so specific that idk if it is possible, to be honest

[wide sentinel]

if anything on most maps sentinel is the fastest

[dire marsh]

Ye shield rush is fast but locks you into shield and without stacking mana it's so expensive on mana

[wide sentinel]

it doesnt do either if you specialize in it

you can use it as 2h and also take reduced cost nodes

so itll be like 25-35 mana

[dire marsh]

I see

But tankiness being an issue also sounds weird to me when I see paladin/VK xd

[brittle roost]

Guys is it possible to transfer an experimental affix? If so how 😂 I’ve shattered a few and can’t get any shards from them but I keep seeing others with exalted items with them

[flint yew]

they drop exalted

[brittle roost]

Ahh ok

[flint yew]

or you use a~~ rune~~ glyph

[wide sentinel]

thats ehg outdated design, sentinel falls back in tankiness untill u get specific build and specific op gear

[buoyant sinew]

it's because they're designed to use obvious tank stuff like armour/health/block but everyone gets lots of armour now, block is not very good, health is worse than ward, and they're missing the just random damage reduction newer classes have

[wide sentinel]

technically we wouldnt miss it if anvil stance was even remotely available or good

[dire marsh]

That's basically what I've read yeah.. the mega ward builds that runemaster has or something are the real tanks xd

[sinful laurel]

dont use RM as your metric

that just isnt fair

[brittle roost]

How do you mean? I see items like this but every experimental item I have says “experimental” I just presumed we could move the affix somehow

[wide sentinel]

or prim, life and ward primalists are very very tanky

[dire marsh]

Fine yeah.. I don't consider RM either way

[sinful laurel]

as are low life rogues

[wide sentinel]

if u want to play strong melee build, nothing beats EQ beastmaster now

espcially ward version

[dire marsh]

Yeh I'd play anything besides mage and primalist honestly.. they don't seem interesting to me

Spellblade does sound interesting but skills look meh

[peak oracle]

warlock 💪🏻

[buoyant sinew]

warlock and all its bustedness will be here soon

[peak oracle]

ill somehow make it complete garbage, but its op

[wide sentinel]

play caster necro without focusing on minions, join the outcasts, has several really strong/op builds

[dire marsh]

Warlock sounds cool yeah.. I love Lich archetype aswell but not the cooldown management of reaper/death seal

[dire marsh]

Sounds interesting.. but also like a handicap

[peak oracle]

eh i quite liked it tbh

[buoyant sinew]

infernal shade necro is a nice build

[wide sentinel]

not a handicap, necro has specific spells that arent available to other classes

[buoyant sinew]

infernal shade warlock looking nicer

[wide sentinel]

as spellcaster

[dire marsh]

What's the point of necro over lich then

[buoyant sinew]

ghost maker

unique dagger you have to be necro to use

[peak oracle]

volatile zombie warlock you mean

[buoyant sinew]

well, both 😄

[dire marsh]

I hear summons

[wide sentinel]

because lich cant have dread shade

[buoyant sinew]

that too

[peak oracle]

i kill my own summons, thats whats amazing

[wide sentinel]

all cool necro self cast builds are focused on dread shade proccing other dps skills

[dire marsh]

Killing summons is better ye

[dire marsh]

Sounds very interesting tbh.. haven't found anything like that yet I think

[wide sentinel]

https://youtu.be/EtNtyk6uS6w?si=PyhzH3kWaMFOhoJP

one of the examples

[peak oracle]

that just looks like a better version of what i wanna do with my Warlock

[tall narwhal]

What is a good class to play as a first time Last Epoch player?
I'm sick of all the DCing in D4.

[wide sentinel]

anything but forge guard or spellblade

[dire marsh]

It already looks more interesting than my lich just cuz it doesn't have reaper and death seal

[peak oracle]

wait the zombies explode on contact?

[wide sentinel]

and has 40k ward

[wide sentinel]

he sacrifices with dread shade casts

[tall narwhal]

thanks

[peak oracle]

oh thank god

[dire marsh]

Ye that's also a pro

I also don't really wanna play a handicap lich without reaper and death seal

[flint yew]

you cant move experimental affixes or get shards, the glyph of insight will allow you to put an experimental affix (depending on current affixes) on an existing item though

[buoyant sinew]

this is why warlock is making my dreams come true

[peak oracle]

what do you plan on making for warlock?

[dire marsh]

Thought I was weird for hating reaper/death seal while loving Lich archetype

[buoyant sinew]

I haven't decided 100% yet but the things I've liked the look of most have been infernal shade with cthonic fissure consuming it, and anguish proc madness using either soul feast or chaos bolts with spirit plague to clear

[peak oracle]

hum i honestly have not looked into Infernal Shade at all, the fissure stuff looks interesting ig, but yeah im trying to stay away from it as much as possible

[buoyant sinew]

I'm just looking at that fissure infernal shade node and being like, shade is balanced around dealing damage over quite a long duration. if it's suddenly dealing all its damage as fast as I can cast it that must be good

also getting to auto shade things with profane veil while clearing sounds wonderful

[peak oracle]

yeah, i have to look into it better, but i think my idea has 0 auto casts

for now at least, i cant figure anything out, profane veil can maybe help a bit, but nothing insane

[dire marsh]

Fissure like seems like totem playstyle which is not that interesting to me.. chaos bolts seem nice though

[peak oracle]

fissure can proc literally anything, in itself its kinda op

[acoustic thicket]

Is there any info on what season 1 will consist of? trying to figure out how much ill miss out on if I start playing now and dont start over for the season

[toxic echo]

Big ticket items are 2 missing classes and item factions. But all content from 1.0 is going to cycle and legacy. You wont be missing anything

[acoustic thicket]

What class (now or after release) will be closest to GoD DH Strafe speed build from D3?

[near path]

if you want spin2win melee version you can go Warpath on Paladin or VK

ranged spin2win does not exist

well, it does kinda sorta but idk if anyone made it non-meme

probably check Dr3ad's vids he might have a video on it

[toxic echo]

Do minion spin2win count as ranged?

[acoustic thicket]

I appreciate you brother! can you elaborate on what an item faction is?

[toxic echo]

Be way easier to read about them here. https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/trade-item-factions/61722/9

Basicly you can go trade, or, solo drop buffs

[lunar sonnet]

yeah but the drop buff also works with group, aslong as your friends are in the same map when the item drops

Group SSF 👍

[viral kettle]

so, do hc characters perma die if they die in arena too?

or that is separate

if they do die, i wonder how are ppl so brave to go that high as i saw on a ladder

[flint yew]

brave or just clever use of game mechanics

[viral kettle]

ofc, but do they stop when they see last wave was on a verge of dying? 😛

[agile junco]

This is cool and all but, what is infusion?

[toxic echo]

Hold alt or ctrl and it gives you more text to read

[agile junco]

Not this one tho

[icy drift]

Hold control and alt

[agile junco]

OH, nice

Thank you

[tranquil pike]

I'm traveling and my internet is awful at the moment. Is there any way to play online characters in offline mode temporarily

[sharp current]

No

[lethal mural]

i would lose lots of health and armor, ill test he 3 warpath then if it sucks ill take a risk to remove an affix

[quick ruin]

@here If anyone has issues with disconnects, setup a custom DNS on your router (ideally) or computer.

[lethal mural]

the remove vitality was error ddint change the thing lol

[quick ruin]

I've only dc'd once in about an hour or more.

[rare ore]

Been seeing people mention that EHG has said no launch sale, so pre-order for pet is better than waiting for launch day. Can anyone help verify that 😛

[minor vigil]

yes there will be no sale at launch

well

[rare ore]

Seems weird not to imo, slightly extra incentive for people to get in on launch 😛 but alright, tyvm

[toxic echo]

why put it on sale on release when more people will buy it...lol. that makes no sense

[rare ore]

Have you seen basically any indie game release ever, especially from EA?

[toxic echo]

ah yes. definately the pinacle of business strategy

[rare ore]

It kinda is though? Sale on launch helps push people that are on the fence towards buying, while the people that the game is already aimed at either own it already or would buy full price to begin with

[icy drift]

It is for indie games since they have little recognition, last epoch has built enough recognition already and the launch is anticipated, this is closer to a AAA release than an indie one at this point.

[pastel pebble]

LE is gettinf some solid recognition in a dedicated/niche community

I wpuldn't call it AAA but it's got some high hopes on it

[rare ore]

Which is specifically why I was saying a sale helps for those more on the fence, people less into ARPGs than the people that are focused fully on them

[near path]

You have the biggest ARPG streamers rearing to give it a go

[rare ore]

Selling LE to the ARPG community isnt hard, selling it to people that arent in it though is the challenge

[pastel pebble]

Normally I wouldn't disagree. But in this case it's kinda licky

Lucky

[wide sentinel]

diablo had no issues selling it for 70$ to millions of non arpg andies

[pastel pebble]

D4 doesn't have a great rep and is far more expensive, PoE has become known as being too obtuse to newbies, and there's only older titles people hear of

[icy drift]

You only do the sale release strat if you're a small release

[near path]

That's not how pricing strategy works. You cannot shit on your existing loyal customers and early access feedback providers by discounting for newbies

[icy drift]

If you're a bigger release it's dumb to

[pastel pebble]

Diablo has arguably massive brand name anyways

[near path]

Well you CAN, but that's how PR fiascos happen

[rare ore]

With the power of ActiBlizz behind it and 30 years of name recognition? How do I even need to spell that out xD

[pastel pebble]

For smaller games it is definitely common enough to do a sale on release

But this has a lot more namebrand attention

[icy drift]

Exactly

[toxic echo]

this is exactly why i stopped participating in the convo. lol

[pastel pebble]

That's what I mean when I say normally I wouldn't disagree

Because LE is in an otherwise unique position

[icy drift]

You do a sale on release if all your publicity is asmongold doing a video about your game 6 months before release while reacting to the game Awards or something

[wide sentinel]

yep and all those andies now know what arpgs are so wont have issues spending 35 on a better game 👍

[pastel pebble]

Yeah, D4 was what introduced a ton of people who are now eyeballing something meatier but not as chewy as Poe

I wanted something less obtuse than PoE and I wasn't a Diablo fan so when I saw this get some good acclaim I picked it up

Now I'm slowly making people in gen chat discuss Moby Dick with me

[wide sentinel]

sales discussion are kinda pointless we have people asking devs abt sales every other day in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs for past half year, and they said no multiple times

[wide sentinel]

FG

[pastel pebble]

Play Forge King on 1.0

[icy drift]

They seemed a bit too infatuated with the inside of the baby whale corpse in a not productive way if you're picking up what I'm putting down

[wide sentinel]

i like how more people use class icons as pfp now

[icy drift]

We need them as badges

[pastel pebble]

The spermecetti?

[buoyant sinew]

if they make forge strike or smelter's wrath feel good to use I'll consider it!

[icy drift]

All I'm saying is they described that corpse like it wanted to be painted a Greek sculpture

And yes painted not sculpted

[wide sentinel]

i wonder if they will buff spellblade on 1.0

[pastel pebble]

That's every description

[wide sentinel]

maybe add some new fire aura nodes?

[pastel pebble]

Quite literally made the Greeks look asexual

[icy drift]

Not wrong

The arm tattoo made me lose respect though

Like they thought they would never do better

[pastel pebble]

Ishmael's a neurotic lil champ

[icy drift]

Than a shitty small whale

[pastel pebble]

It's a metaphor for God

[icy drift]

Should be more confident

[pastel pebble]

Platonically

[icy drift]

Only tattoo perfection when you see it

[pastel pebble]

The book goes from bro love to intense platonist speculation so quickly lol

[icy drift]

Not in anticipation of it

[pastel pebble]

Unironically the discussions of the whales are some of the most vivid

I think of sections regularly in my daily life

[icy drift]

NGL it did kinda stick

[pastel pebble]

Not even just the jokes but descriptions of bones from various angles, Ahab's monologues on Will/limitations

[icy drift]

I'm still thinking about it

Made me visualize a nice corpse from the inside

[pastel pebble]

I think some of the ones that stuck to me was Ahab's Soliloquoy, The Armada, On the Whiteness of the Whale

Cetology is a huge wall to people

IDK why, it's very funny

[acoustic thicket]

So when 1.0 releases there’s really no reason to switch to s1 if we already have a toon and some gear and shards right? I mean both legacy and s1 both get updated with all the new stuff ya

[wicked plover]

only if you care about leaderboards

[acoustic thicket]

Not at all, just wanna game. Thx for answering

[wide sentinel]

this kinda reminds me of poe sirius

[lunar sonnet]

is there any skill from Rogue - Marksman that can use another weapon then a bow? I can't find anything that changes it yet, so asking if someone knows it.

I feel rogue is super limited in weapon choice.

[minor vigil]

there's a unique dagger

[toxic echo]

marksman is designed 100% around the bow. the only things you could do is jelkors dagger for detonating arrow

[lethal mural]

is there a way other that reveling the skill by 1 level to control whats gets changed form +1 skill, when i roved the item it chose a bad skill

[toxic echo]

but its either that or bow. its a marksman class...its designed for bow

[toxic echo]

nope.

[lunar sonnet]

yeah I guess i will wait for the falconer then

[toxic echo]

there is a system is uses...but its not really adjustable by the player

[lethal mural]

they need to fix that lol

[toxic echo]

eh. its designed this way for a reason

[buoyant sinew]

it's not broken

they specifically make you unable to control it to stop you gear swapping for bosses

[lethal mural]

i hope ill be on accelrated exp

takes so long form lebel 19 to 20

[toxic echo]

if its just 1 point likely not accelerated. normally needs a few to get it

but itll tell you on the exp bar if it is or not

[lethal mural]

that i know yes

[acoustic thicket]

How much gold for a solid t3/t4 lightless arbor?

[buoyant sinew]

it doesn't work

[toxic echo]

4million or so

maybe more. ive had single rolls that were 12mil

[acoustic thicket]

jesus

[flint yew]

i wouldnt spend more than like 1m on arbor, you get way more keys than you can really spend gold on

[acoustic thicket]

isn't it just not worth it at that point

might as well start another and spend less?

[toxic echo]

depends on the mods

i did not spend the 12 mil on one roll. lol

but t4 i think give you like...12 mods for the vault...so its going to get expensive no amtter what you do

[wide sentinel]

it doesnt work but numlock trick always works

[lethal mural]

@toxic echo it does accelarate to 20

[lost thorn]

Are there no support builds in Last Epoch? Where you can support friends etc

[toxic echo]

not in the classic support sense, no

there are plenty of synergies between classes. but you arent going to find a strictly "healer" or aura bot

[night tide]

Does the "reduced health cost of spells" affix work on harvest?

[wide sentinel]

harvest is not a spell

[surreal verge]

Harvest isnt a spell

[surreal verge]

You support them by helping them murder things

[tall narwhal]

is there a key to hold and show items that a Loot Filter is blocking?

[undone otter]

Ya I forgot which one without logging in, off the top of my head

I always confuse it with other games

take a peep in the keybinds

[tall narwhal]

I just swaped teh Loot Filter off and it was an item that I wanted for my Build, Mages Helm with Elemental Damage, lol

[wind oak]

Theres no crit DMG reduction blessing right? only crit avoid?

[wind oak]

Time to edit your filter

[tall narwhal]

yup im new to the game and downloaded on ethat was ment to be for mages, lol

[neon path]

Hey guys, is there a way to display your character name other than Steam name? or are the character names a bit pointless in the social element?

[surreal verge]

Not as a blessing, no

[surreal verge]

Char name only shows up in the social tab

[dusty crypt]

Are the remaining masteries going to be available to play before the launch date?

[dense root]

no

they are part of the 1.0 patch

[dusty crypt]

Ah, ok, thanks for the info 🙂

[acoustic thicket]

How do you accurately convert Celsius to Fahrenheit?
#using the ask the community tab correctly

[lunar sonnet]

Which should I try;

• Lich (harvest / spiritplague build)
• Forgeguard (Multistrike - Hack and slash build)
• Spellblade (Electric oriented melee build)

[timid kernel]

Anyone have an opinion on how good the spark swarmblade is ? Got a 3lp enigma , 2lp culiver, and was thinking about it

[leaden ice]

Flat
2h axe: 9% crit
base character crit: 5% crit
skill base crit (passive node): 9% crit

Multiplicative
Ring 1: 78% crit
Ring 2: 36% crit

Would this be the right calculation?
((9 + 5 + 9) * (1 + 0.78 + 0.36)) = 49.22% crit chance with skill

[near path]

yes

[buoyant sinew]

of those the spellblade sounds most promising to me, surge is a very good skill

[buoyant sinew]

very very good. Really only weakness is area coverage as it's fast, tanky and high damage

[timid kernel]

Ah awesome - thanks for the reply. With good rolls it can sustain 400-500 corruption ?

[acoustic thicket]

whats the best for runemaster sdhould i go lightning or fire

[buoyant sinew]

if the rest of your gear is as good as a 3lp fragment you'll go much further than that

[timid kernel]

Ah awesome ! I've got a few builds that are great at 300-400 but haven't been able to run 500 consistently yet. Stoked to get this build going, thanks for the confirmation

[buoyant sinew]

[fleet grail]

Is there an update on the abysmal rubberbanding for launch?
The teleporting and long loading times to get into a new area being the two most prominent concerns here.
Or will these be addressed in a later patch?

[tall narwhal]

can you take points out of the passive tree?

[buoyant sinew]

yes, talk to the NPC with the brain map icon in town

[tall narwhal]

thanks

[vague cloak]

Do you think devs are happy with the skill leveling time when you respecialize into another skill? I mean for a somewhat beginner it would be nice to try different things in the early game but the time to level the skills up is taking far to long so im basically stuck following a guide

[flint yew]

you only really need to keep one main skill specialized while leveling, four other slots are fair game

[vague cloak]

i guess i should try and make up my mind then 😛 will dig info on what to level with. With my runemaster

[scenic tinsel]

So I had a very wide web and used a Vessel of Memory so I could reclear my nodes. It wiped out all my pathing from the start... Did I do this wrong or is there no way to save your path progress?

[near path]

next time read what "Vessel of Memory" does. That's its purpose

[cinder fossil]

that's how it works, it uncompletes every node so you can do them again for the reward

[near path]

you are now able to do that path again and claim those same rewards again

you typically use Memory when you've followed a good set of nodes and want those rewards again. Corruption or idk whatever it's called, the other Memory, is for rerolling the rewards on the whole web, great for RNG has screwed you over and it's all shit

[scenic tinsel]

@near path Before coming off rude maybe look yourself. Its says nothing at all about reseting the routes. Just that the node is reset.

[surreal verge]

They are reset-
YOu can only do nodes that are beside a node you cleared.

And if they're reset, they aren't cleared anymore.

[near path]

it literally says "resets your nodes". Not my fault you are not paying attention + are sensitive to boot

[scenic tinsel]

Ah I see. Fucking RIP

[near path]

also it takes a second to Google if you're unsure

(can't believe I'm sharing a wiki link but w/e)

[plain bone]

guys , loot filter work?

[surreal verge]

Yes.

[frosty pollen]

Should I clear the whole "echo" before leaving or should i just run for completion, leave and repeat until i complete the "quest echoes"?

[surreal verge]

Speedrun.

[frosty pollen]

Thanks

[lethal mural]

anyone know if time rot void knight 'gets increased by dot ? warpath

[surreal verge]

Yes, time rot is a DoT

[robust monolith]

hi i can´t pick up iteams from the ground+

[surreal verge]

Did you press alt z?

[wide frost]

Having some technical issues with the game anywhere i can go for some help?

[robust monolith]

top thanks

[native trellis]

Are we getting player housing/hideouts in this game btw?

[surreal verge]

No plans

[native trellis]

Ok. That would be cool to have

[lethal mural]

does void peenetration works with melee void too ?

[surreal verge]

Yes

[lethal mural]

kk ty

[mint marsh]

Did we get more endgame content with 1.0?

[buoyant sinew]

no, just a rebalance to corruption scaling

more endgame content is meant to be something they're putting a lot of focus on after 1.0

[mint marsh]

Okay thanks

[wide sentinel]

tbf they already have enough endgame content for years

[halcyon crescent]

Which class would you guys consider to be the best starter class to get kinda a forgiving intro into the game? Forgiving as in can take some hits without worrying too much.

I’ve enjoyed a rogue class with high movement/evade/crit in other similar games. But not sure how that translates over.

[native sail]

Sentinel is really easy early game but gets progressively more demanding the further you get into endgame until it reaches a point where basically anything else would be smoother. Primalist is just generically good, Druid in particular is really good. Runemaster is currently very strong. Sorc less so.
Bladedancer is alright but relies on player skill somewhat in endgame. Lich is currently bugged to be several orders of magnitudes stronger than it should be. Necro is, honestly, very well balanced.

[halcyon crescent]

Is bladedancer kinda a rogue?

And I assume sentinel is a bowman or something?

[surreal verge]

Rogue-> Bladedancer, Marksman
Sentinel-> forge Knight, Paladin, Void Knight

[native sail]

^

LE has five base classes (Mage, Rogue, Primalist, Sentinel, and Acolyte) which have three masteries (akin to ascendancies in PoE) each, though two masteries aren't out yet.

Rogue: Bladedancer, Marksman, or Falconer (this one isn't out yet)
Acolyte: Necromancer, Lich, or Warlock (this one isn't out yet)
Mage: Sorcerer, Runemaster, Spellblade
Sentinel: Forge Guard, Paladin, Void Knight
Primalist: Beastmaster, Shaman, Druid

There's some rumours on reddit

[robust tundra]

Am I doing something wrong with monolith/build progression? I'm level 77 running Reign of Dragons and the boss stomps me. Should I be running lower level monoliths to catch-up to level 85? Should I be increasing corruption? Where should I be farming gear?

[tribal bone]

Are you dodging his aoe?

[clear sand]

Are you doing anything wrong? Idk if the boss is stomping you I don't think is a lvl check but I gear one. No need to increase corruption on normal monoliths because it's capped at 50 and empowered monos starts with 100 and is usually when the real farm starts

[surreal verge]

That boss has an almost map wide aoe that you must dodge or die.

[tribal bone]

I did it at around your level aswell Kata

First time I went in I ignored mechanics and got deleted

[surreal verge]

If it's not that, I hope you have necrotic resist

[robust tundra]

Where can I get better gear? Maybe stomp was the wrong word. I know the mechanics, but the fight prolongs for so long that it's that it's easier to make 1 mistake and die. Tho maybe that's how it's supposed to be.

[surreal verge]

Monoliths.

And well, crafting decent drops into good equipment

[clear sand]

Ok, you need some hp and ward maybe

Have you tried using Ice, Fire and Ice Invocation? It gives you a buff that has Damage reduction and grants you ward

[robust tundra]

I get my ward from Flame Ward, but the timing has to be correct. Also, another issue is that I'm still running Avarice because I don't have any way of leeching.

[clear sand]

That's an easy way of get tankier without too much effort but yeah, crafting is a big part of the game and you should be using it

[robust tundra]

Thanks for the help btw

[clear sand]

Do you have runes of ascendances?

[robust tundra]

3 or so

[clear sand]

Maybe you can YOLO a good unique with those

Which build you're going for?

[robust tundra]

Ball Lightning, taken from MaxRoll.

[clear sand]

Sec

[robust tundra]

My bad, Static Orb

[clear sand]

Oh I see

So you're a mage?

Sorcerer*

[robust tundra]

Yes

[clear sand]

Oh, I can't help you with the build

I did a static orb build but is pretty end game and I used the spinning tech

But was full endgame gear

Are you using lightning blast as well?

I would spec lightning blast into the "chains the same target" thing

But idk the problem for now seems to be defenses

[fluid mason]

I really want to play a slam build in 1.0. What classes/subclasses should I be looking at?

[icy drift]

Druid and sentinel

[clear sand]

Primalist

Druid is tankier

[fluid mason]

Noice. Thank you.

[polar edge]

is chapter 8 the last chapter for now?

[clear sand]

Try crafting some HP on your gear and necrotic/physical resistances if you're lacking

[tribal bone]

9 I think

[pulsar prism]

Hello, regarding max resistance, the game says each world level reduce resistance by 1%. So if you want to keep 75% resistance in level 100 maps, we need to have 175% resistance?

[surreal verge]

No, the area level reduction ignores overcapped resistance.

At lv 100, 75% res = 0%, at 25% res= -50%.

[cursive sky]

Hey guys, anyone had the bug of not being able to complete the The Keeper's vault quest?

I can't find Leena in the city where the quest is telling me to complete it

[celest lichen]

Hey guys is it even worth it to open the Chest at the end of every Monolith or why do we have 2 rewards at the end of every map?

[native sail]

The chest spits rewards based on the amount of mobs you kill in the echo. It does not stack across echoes, just open it.

[celest lichen]

thx

[surreal verge]

Just open it it's free gold

[celest lichen]

Why would i need Gold?

[surreal verge]

Shattering runes, stashes, lightless arbor

[acoustic thicket]

What does it mean when I've explored an area but the map pin shows the star-icon and "waypoint locked"?

[surreal verge]

It's called you missed the waypoint.
Also specifically there, it's lying: There's no waypoint, known bug

[acoustic thicket]

Aha, filthy lying map! Thanks 👍

[lone furnace]

How does "Increase damage per arrow with Multishot" work ?

• Does it increase 20% damage of each arrow ?
• Does it increase 20% damage for each arrow I shoot ?

Because I shoot 17 arrows, so the 1rst option would increase my damage by 20% but the second one by 340% which is clearly not the same thing !

[acoustic thicket]

My equipped 2H Staff suddenly disappeared while in combat. My inventory was closed, and it didn't drop. Do items break, or is it bug?

[clear sand]

try relogging

sometimes items disappear for no reason

relogging usually fix that

[acoustic thicket]

Thanks, but I relogged and it's still gone 😕

[clear sand]

press F

check there

[acoustic thicket]

Aha there it is, snuck off into crafting menu, thanks 👍

[clear sand]

😄

[hardy spoke]

Guys, everything we have before 1.0 will be untradable correct?

I think I will get rid of most of my stuff or shatter everything

[clear sand]

keep it for now

you can always run some testing with the gear if you need it

is not like you need the stash tabs now

[lone furnace]

#❔┃ask-the-community message --> Should I post this in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs ?

[clear sand]

[lone furnace]

Ty

[clear sand]

i have no idea how it works

never been a fan of multishot

back in D2 i refused doing a multishot amazon

just gilded and ice arrow for me

strafe was nice as well

[lunar sonnet]

Which should I try;

• Lich (harvest / spiritplague build)
• Forgeguard (Multistrike - Hack and slash build)
• Spellblade (Electric oriented melee build)

[clear sand]

stay way from Forge for now

[lunar sonnet]

how so?

[clear sand]

is not great

and multistrike is only suited for clearing

lacks a lot on the single target damage department

[lunar sonnet]

ow

[native sail]

(Also don't touch Harvest, it's pretty close to the worst melee skill in the game)

[clear sand]

is not that bad tho

[native sail]

It is

[clear sand]

only highly dependant on high end gear

[native sail]

It takes about 3 times the investment of many other melee skills to do at max half the damage

[surreal verge]

By high end we mean "Very high end"

[clear sand]

oh yeah

[lunar sonnet]

let me guess, scaling is just bad?

[native sail]

Extremely, yes

[surreal verge]

This stupid line.

[native sail]

Don't get me started on the tree

[surreal verge]

To be fair, it at least has +9% base crit

[native sail]

Where are the multipliers

[surreal verge]

So it's a usable build.

Just...oof

[lunar sonnet]

but FG - Multistrike / hack and slash has better scaling though.
especially combingin it with forge hammer no?

[surreal verge]

FG's passive tree is peepeepoopoo

[clear sand]

if you drop a Death's Embrace LP4 go for it

[native sail]

[surreal verge]

[native sail]

I've used an LP1 Death's Embrace and I still went "why don't I just play Rive"

[surreal verge]

It has one.
But it's also one you can easily do.

...But it's also hit only

[clear sand]

forge strike looks cool, sounds cool but omg

[native sail]

It has one.
This is the problem

[surreal verge]

Exactly-

It has one more, but it's damn poison

[native sail]

That's not real

[surreal verge]

And we all know how good poison is

(Shit)

[clear sand]

leave my poison marksman out of this

[native sail]

RIP poison Flurry

Your 98mil was very funny

[lunar sonnet]

so ... basically stuck with spellblade then xD

[native sail]

Lucky for you, @icy drift is an expert

[lunar sonnet]

i guess variety in builds aren't really an option for a lot of classes yet?

[clear sand]

you can go with poison detonate arrow + hail of arrows setup and hate your existance

[icy drift]

Wazzap

I've been summoned

[native sail]

It is for most, you just happened to choose some of the most underperforming things lol

Call it bad luck

[lunar sonnet]

lols its the reason i was interested in Falconer atm, since i might not be stuck forced into dual wield dagger / sword or bow ...

[native sail]

Falconer is shaping up to be interesting

[surreal verge]

You also picked the weakest builds of those classes

[lunar sonnet]

that just means they will be buffed in 1.0 right #Copium

[native sail]

Surely

[icy drift]

Bro you're gonna overdose stop

[native sail]

[icy drift]

That's like me saying surely they'll touch spellblade with a 10 foot pole

[native sail]

If Acid Flask is still bad I'm going to eat Steve's appendix.

[icy drift]

I just want RM to get nerfed into the fucking grave

[native sail]

Everyone does

it won't

Sadly

[icy drift]

I'd legit be fine if they made it the worst mastery in the game

It needs time off

[lunar sonnet]

Which should I try;

• Lich (harvest / spiritplague build)
• Forgeguard (Multistrike - Hack and slash build)
• Spellblade (Electric oriented melee build)

so basically, hope they QoL the first 2 and please try spellblade sinds it doesnt suck as much.

[surreal verge]

Hey, we still have shattered lance necro!

[icy drift]

What is this electric oriented spellblade you speak of, spark charge surge?

[native sail]

Don't summon Torg

I cannot type

[lunar sonnet]

i'm not 100% sure yet.

[icy drift]

I'm gonna be real with you

[native sail]

SURGE! HUUU

[icy drift]

As a Spellblade to spellblade

[native sail]

Oh

They could do the weird Static thing

[icy drift]

I don't wanna say it deias

Surge CAN work

It can do good damage

[native sail]

Surge is surprisingly alright

It's just kinda weird

[icy drift]

Personally

Having your damage also be your traversal skill

Is a super annoying playstyle

[lunar sonnet]

i was also looking into if spellblade + bow was an option

[icy drift]

Lol

That could've been cool

Maybe someday

[lunar sonnet]

I know ...

but its all melee

i feel limited

[icy drift]

But yeah just don't try to make flame reave work

Surge you can do

[surreal verge]

You DO know bows are locked to rogues right?

[lunar sonnet]

i did not, this feels even worse now

[icy drift]

Lul

[surreal verge]

Dissapointment 2: Only Rogue has bow skills, THAT'S why.

[lunar sonnet]

that i am aware of...

[native sail]

Bows are the only weapons that are class locked across the board

[lunar sonnet]

bows (in my opinion) is basically every x attack do something, stack att speed and crit

feels so boring

[surreal verge]

Using a bow in any other class, currently, makes 0 sense

[icy drift]

Enchanting your bow as a spell(blade) would be pretty thematic

[lunar sonnet]

i wish it was on hit, instead of melee

[icy drift]

Like you enchant your arrows with elements and stuff

[lunar sonnet]

this right here

[dusky kite]

ironically it's probably the worst for sb which you picked

[lunar sonnet]

SB? ow SpellBlade

[icy drift]

Yeah Spellblade has like 3 builds total
