SpellBlade

[icy drift]

That function

[native sail]

Keep in mind, Rogue is the newest base class, so bows came with them to my knowledge

[icy drift]

Well

I guess 5

[dusky kite]

folks had already menitoned scaling problems on melee lich, well, spellblade has similar scaling problems in many places mostly in regards to flame reave

although I don't see how they can significantly buff its scaling given the absolutely massive amounts of flat you can get for it

[steel merlin]

i just realized y'all are so young in this server

[dusky kite]

and one of them sucks

[lunar sonnet]

no worries I'm the tallest here

2.05m / 6'9

[dusky kite]

wait what is the secret third build sauce lol

[surreal verge]

I started when MP dropped

[native sail]

Look man, I didn't have the game til 2020 and I didn't bother joining the Discord

[steel merlin]

#📚┃off-topic

[native sail]

Not my fault I didn't have a PC

[icy drift]

Hint: 4 of them are just shatter strike

[lunar sonnet]

yeah it felt like SpellBlade is mostly just shatter strike.

[icy drift]

It's nice

[lunar sonnet]

i know, but i wanna do something different

[icy drift]

Only like a third of the skill nodes do anything

And 9/10 of those are super generic

But the gameplay is nice

[surreal verge]

You're free to try, with the risk of it not working

[icy drift]

Make fireball flame reave work please

I know it won't work

But I want it to work

[dusky kite]

counts as 1 in my book lol you are either playing SS or surge

alright "playing SS" does give off the wrong vibes

[steel merlin]

playing social security, nothing wrong

[icy drift]

Yeah fair I just count the different ways to play it as different build, like firebrand , frostbite and so on

[dusky kite]

yeah I mean you aren't wrong there are a few builds from a mechanical standpoint

but the build variety is still abysmal either way

[native sail]

Oh no

[dusky kite]

and the synergy with other mage masteries is largely nonexistent

like vk but even vk has more effects for void conversion in idols and such

I mean not like anybody is dying to play void converted shield throw but it's an option

[robust hornet]

is 5 zone levels over hero level difficult?

[steel merlin]

hey, spellblade now got frost claw to share with runemaster

[celest lichen]

Where can i test my damage?

[dusky kite]

mob level doesnt mean shit in this game so it depends on your build entirely

[steel merlin]

while in campaign its fine if a bit low on level, during endgame forget about matching levels with zone level

[dusky kite]

if you just progress normally you'll be in empowered monos by level 75-80

and those are level 100 zones

[dusky kite]

there is a dummy in the arena lobby but it's shit for testing cause it doesn't have dr like real mobs so all your numbers will be absolutely inflated

[steel merlin]

just remember that if you are more than ten levels below a zone you get exp as if the zone was ten levels higher instead of ten+

or dont remember and just play tbh

[celest lichen]

so is there any way to consitent check damage? im not that good in comparing items

[robust hornet]

Ok cool

[dusky kite]

I mean if your goal is to compare items the dummy can work, just don't expect to see similar damage vs actual endgame mobs

[robust hornet]

having trouble with survivability on Lich at level 45ish

my dmg is fine

[lunar sonnet]

@icy drift https://youtu.be/5SBh7goAVW4
this looked interesting

[dusky kite]

hmm actually I never tried this particular build, looks like hot garbage though

but I do remember having a 3 lp enigma laying around

should probably just use it on druid lol

[native sail]

That's a lot of damage skills and no defense skills

[dusky kite]

SS in murrica:
SS in yurop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waffen-SS

[lunar sonnet]

it prob is ...

i'm just using it as a reference point, but it seems i either play a class/mastery with a "meta'ish" build or prob don't have a good time trying to make a build

[native sail]

May I point you to Dr3adful?

[lunar sonnet]

pretty sure i've seen some of his videos already

[dusky kite]

nah you can certialny build a lot of non-meta stuff and have it work reasonably well in low corruption, my own sb is currently running flame reave which objectively sucks but it's kinda fun

as long as I don't brick 10 jaspar's in a row

[native sail]

His builds are mostly just him looking into an interaction he thinks is cool and seeing if it works. And majority of them are more than viable despite not being meta.

[steel merlin]

not like murica has any of the two

[dusky kite]

but the problem with the build as outlined above is that it relies a lot on various procs to pad out the number of hits for spark charge application, and he sacrifices flame ward to get there

[celest lichen]

Does it make sense to use it twice?

[dusky kite]

you'll be hard pressed to build a case to even use one copy

[celest lichen]

sorry i dont understand what you mean

[surreal verge]

TLDR:Not good, 4sec up time /12 second cooldown

[celest lichen]

ok

[rough rain]

so, what game mod is be after release? seasons like poe?

[desert tree]

Yes

[desert tree]

But for the forseable future the content will be in Cycles and Standard

[north mica]

the immortal empire quest -> speak with Gaspar in the End of Time bugged? I speak to him and nothing happens I alrdy went into the portal and choosen my specialization...

[oblique canyon]

why do I have 0% critical chance here? 😅
i have items that grant crit chance though (playing lich)

like this for example

[desert tree]

You have an idol called Singularity

[surreal verge]

Do you?

[oblique canyon]

oh boi

thats it thanks

[surreal verge]

How many dollars is in that jar at this point

[oblique canyon]

so many skills and perks i thought im going insane

[native sail]

I could afford a new PC at this point

[surreal verge]

[strange parcel]

are these things worht running?

i got couple more

[native sail]

The red ones not really. The one on the left is for legendary crafting (read the guide real quick on that). Those ones in the middle are for gamba

[strange parcel]

should i just vendor the red ones?

i see they are worth 6.5k each , which is quite a lot (for me , atm)

[native sail]

Pretty much. Arena is kinda ass.

[pliant kite]

Started playing this week, just completed the campaign (I am pretty sure). Have completed 63 quests, several of which said they would give Idol Slots, but didn't; I still have a blocked Idol Slot in the middle of the Idol Grid. Is that slot supposed to unlock, or are those last quests that say they give you an idol slot supposed to leave it looking like this?
Sorry to ask, I have figured out most stuff for myself (well enough), but this one is confusing me because I have seen people with it fully unlocked, and I have done every quest I found on the way and had a few quests that said they would unlock slots, but this one stayed locked.

[strange parcel]

yeah, thats how it is

you cant unlock that one

[pliant kite]

Okay - I thought I saw streamers with the whole thing full, but I must have misunderstood. Thanks.

[native sail]

There are more idol/passive point rewarding quests than you need, so that you don't have to do the exact same stuff every single run.

[surreal verge]

There was a point where it was fully unlocked, they locked it on purpose now

[native sail]

And changed the shape

[strange parcel]

what does damned do?

[pliant kite]

Right, a lot of people are going to be very confused about a lot of those old guides. Thank you very much.

[native sail]

Necrotic damage over time

I think it also lowers your health regen

[strange parcel]

can it be reduced by my necro res?

[native sail]

Yeah

[oblique canyon]

is "death seal" scaling with damage over time with this perk? it doesnt explicitly state so, but i think it does

[surreal verge]

But the health regen cannot be nulled

[strange parcel]

and also health regen as in passive health regen or also leech?

[surreal verge]

No, it's multiple hits. (1 wave every second)

[native sail]

Just passive regen

[strange parcel]

Where can I get endurance from? Is it available on gear?

[toxic echo]

gear and blessings

[strange parcel]

on every slot?

[toxic echo]

% generally better than threshold

[strange parcel]

or just specific ones

[toxic echo]

most...you can check the affix in game and itll tell you where it can go

also some passive trees too

[strange parcel]

very cool

and im guessing you cant get both endurance and endurane threshold?

[surreal verge]

You can, but no one affixes for threshold

Because base threshold is 1/4 of your max hp

[strange parcel]

i just need a tiny bit so it goes up to 1/3

and i can use it with death seal

[cerulean thorn]

what does this star mean?

[toxic echo]

means there should be a waypoint there. but i think that map is bugged and doesnt have one

[rigid spoke]

most of them, unless you want the arena specific uniques

[strange parcel]

Does mele dmg apply to all types of mele dmg?

this thing

[wicked plover]

yes

[toxic echo]

that one is % melee, so yes, any flat melee

[cerulean thorn]

thank you!

[strange parcel]

how do i tell which one is % and which one is flat?

in this case i guess the first should be flat cus of the name spellblades , but is there a way to check and be sure?

[surreal verge]

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

[knotty tinsel]

question for the gamers:
if your endurance threshold exceeds your max hp what happens if you wear Ravenous Void?
instant mimic feast, or only if you lose any HP?

[wicked plover]

has anyone ever built a significant amount of threshold?

[native sail]

There are some niche builds that can cover their entire health pool

[knotty tinsel]

I just realized I can just log in and test this will report back

or can I? need to check some wording

[pallid wave]

Hello guys i am being heavilly skill checked by rayeh of the black sun his AOE is getting the better of me and i can't see what is the trick

[knotty tinsel]

wow, ok yeah. I can't test it but nor do I need to, because of the way Knowledge of an Erased Mage is worded. thanks anyway folks

[knotty tinsel]

run around like a chicken without a head dodgin' stuff

[toxic echo]

any skill in particular or just in general?

[pallid wave]

the AOE with void pizza parts

[toxic echo]

just run un a circle.

[pallid wave]

i do hahaha

[toxic echo]

he does 6-7 pie pieces, count

[pallid wave]

but he always get's me somehow

[surreal verge]

No movespeed boots?

[pallid wave]

i died 20+ times hahaha

[surreal verge]

Too inner or too outer?

[pallid wave]

i have 38% movment speed

with skills get to 75

[toxic echo]

are you moving too fast? lol. its really just walk in a circle. its 6-7 pie pieces, always the same rotation

[pallid wave]

i just can't see the pattern

in the attack it seems random

[toxic echo]

the only random part is where it starts. other than that, it goes pretty much in a circle itself

[verbal falcon]

new LE player looking for build recommendations.

I'm use to permanent minions / lazy style, but it seems it's not that widespread in LE. Otherwise something that can clear screen and doesn't require (alot?) of aiming or mouse clicks (hands getting old).

[toxic echo]

necro would be your jam then if you want perma minions

just gotta resummon on occasion when they die / buffing them

[pallid wave]

alright i'll check this

[verbal falcon]

but doesn't it require me to constantly aim and use blood rip on golem?

[toxic echo]

dont have to play that build no. there are plenty of minion builds that dont use that

can also do sentinel warpath if you want a more buttonless approach. its literally just hold button and move mouse

[verbal falcon]

I see.. maybe the choices open up later. Atm I was looking at leveling builds on maxroll and that seemed to be like that.

[zealous orchid]

do we know if the devs plan on doing limited time events? Easter, Halloween, Christmas etc etc

[toxic echo]

maxroll only has a few "best" leveling builds. they are good, but its not the only thing you can do. plenty of people just go in blind and have success. minions are very good in early and late game

[toxic echo]

they have talked about wanting to do something, but nothing concrete. everything is all in on 1.0 right now

[verbal falcon]

much obliged

[zealous orchid]

tru tru its just learning that D4 is doing limited time events like chrsitmas and now chineese new year seems pretty cool if LE would join the fun

[toxic echo]

would definately be cool. plenty of time to get into that kinda stuff after 1.0

[zealous orchid]

tru tru

[strange parcel]

rerolls rewards means these things here , right?

[surreal verge]

Yup

[strange parcel]

and will they stay same tier of rewards

or is it just rng

[surreal verge]

RNG

[boreal mirage]

I'm level 75 and i went to respec my skills, I noticed I lost half of my points after i repec some of my points. Do i have to grind to earn back my points i lost?

[dense root]

yes

[toxic echo]

skills lose xp, but you get them back pretty quick in endgame

[boreal mirage]

I had 20 and now im down to 12..

ahh ok..

[toxic echo]

they get accelerated xp

[boreal mirage]

thanks

[pallid wave]

@toxic echo finally got his ass

is there a blessing for XP and if so which monolith ?

[analog wadi]

fall of the outcasts

the first one

[pallid wave]

oh i got the one for gold and did not get the choice of xp both times i did it for the quests

[toxic echo]

grats

blessings are rng. you dont get to choose between them all

but xp is in the first one.

[pallid wave]

ok so i have to run it back and hope to get it, cool

[toxic echo]

wouldnt worry about going back tbh. you dont really want to farm blessings on normal. wait until empowered to get the better blessings

[pallid wave]

am at level 72 and it's starting to get hard to level lol

[broken prairie]

sup guys where the servers are located?

[toxic echo]

on earth somewhere

[broken prairie]

nice

[toxic echo]

dont think locations were ever really made public

[strange parcel]

are boss fights that grant more corruption harder?

[pallid wave]

it's probably running on some aws server in each continent

[toxic echo]

orobyss fights are supposed to be some of the hardest boss fights, yes

[strange parcel]

but do they scale with corruption granted

[pallid wave]

i really found rayeh harder than orobyss hahaha

[pallid wave]

more corruption more harder yes

[strange parcel]

;x

[toxic echo]

the corruption they grant is after their death. but it will make the timeline harder after their death

[pallid wave]

so for leveling faster i take the right route to the higher levels and fight trough it or is there some tech ?

[toxic echo]

right side until the three 90's...then empowered, yes

most toons fall behind monolith levels...its no big deal

15-20 below is pretty common

[pallid wave]

toons ?

[strange parcel]

characters

[lusty rover]

Are there any known issues with shield throw? Going to try creating a build.

[toxic echo]

old timer lingo XD

[toxic echo]

uh...besides some projectiles getting blocked at some bosses in the campaign. i dont think so

[lusty rover]

cool

[wicked plover]

made a shield throw char a week ago, felt good, no issues

[pallid wave]

i sarching but did not find any info, is the campaing going to be full on release ? lol

tried searching*

[wicked plover]

no new campaign chapters with 1.0

[toxic echo]

no, still missing 3 chapters

[pallid wave]

oh so definately no new maps either the names we see on the map will remain a mystery

(new locations i mean)

[lusty rover]

Is it possible to get the cd low enough for it to be a primary attack?

[lusty rover]

nvm,

[toxic echo]

not in the campaign. but there might be upgrades to the visuals and stuff. wont be any campaign extensions tho

[wicked plover]

there is a node where you dont have cooldown on it anymore

or you dont have to wait until shield returns* smth like that

[lusty rover]

i found it

[mortal sable]

Hey yall 👋 i know this kind of thing can be very build dependent, but is there a general rule of thumb on where kinds of stats come from? Like, ‘defenses mostly from passives’ or stuff like that.

[wicked plover]

every skill tree got a different type of defensive you can choose to pick
so as you said it reeeeaaaally depends on your build ^^

[mortal sable]

Maybe LE isn’t like that, haven’t quite figured it out

[toxic echo]

depends on class and build mostly. passive trees are very different. gear, blessings, passive tree all have plenty of options to mix n match

[surreal verge]

Equipment can cover your patches of missing defense for exanple

[mortal sable]

Cool, sounds really flexible.

[wicked plover]

yea you really just go with what you got and fill the spots

[dense root]

you can get most stats in a variety of places

although there are some options that are generally better than others when it comes to where you should get each stat from

(i.e. you can get resistance suffixes but it’s best to get as much resistance as you can from passives/implicits/blessings so you can save your suffixes for better things)

[jolly pasture]

how does targetting work on controller? i just tried out mage, and it would target fence first and then just where my char is looking. is there a way to make it prioritise enemies? the way it is now requires me to basically run into enemies and look at them to target, which isnt the case for barrels/fences lol

[toxic echo]

controller support is a little lacking rn (getting updates in 1.0) targetting breakables and not mobs is one of the bigger complaints

[rose hollow]

hey everyone 🙂 I am trying to find a decent build guide for levelling that allows me to mindlessly AOE and just learn the game at my pace. Now I have a Sorcerer at 22 with:

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/sorcerer-leveling-guide#campaign-step-by-step-header

As a guide, but it's not really clicking with me in a "I am having fun" way. So, does anyone have advice for a build that can:

Mindlessly AOE when wanted
Tanky enough to survive melee
Easy enough to learn for an absolute noob
Preferably with a good written guide

[toxic echo]

maxroll builds are generally some of the best. but you arent going to have really good AOE at lvl 22 with anyclass. normally gotta wait to endgame to get the realy nice feeling

[rose hollow]

neh true, it's more the class itself is not a "I like it so much I want to keep playing" if that makes sense

can't really explain it well, sorry

[toxic echo]

nah. if you dont like it thats different

some classes just dont click. nbd.

but maxroll does have some of the best guides out there. maybe just try another class...warpath leveling is pretty ok.

[near path]

LE heavily discourages mindless gameplay

It's not PoE

It is designed to try and make you actively utilize multiple synergistic skills

[jolly pasture]

i see i see, tbh i wouldnt mind it targeting breakables if it would then target enemies properly, but currently my char has to be looking at enemies in order to target them, which is just.. weird?
especially since for breakables it just automatically targets no matter where you look, but i'll stomach it until i can spec to spellblade lol

thanks

oh wait... i just checked paladin out and it seems like there is something similar to RF... ill need to play that instead lol

[rose hollow]

thanks @near path! time to try some classes 😄 And figure out mechanics some more

[verbal falcon]

following one of maxrolls guides and they tell to not sell gear (see image) but instead save it and use runes of shattering on it.

Is this really feasible in the early game? I have alot more gear than I do runes.

[surreal verge]

Only if you need the affixes

[wicked plover]

you need to be more selective what to shatter then

[surreal verge]

Otherwise,dump them into the void and never pick them up

[toxic echo]

gear is worth literal pennies. if you dont need the rare affixes on an item, ignore it

[near path]

Maybe not right at the start but soon enough the Shatterings start piling up

[verbal falcon]

much obliged all.. was just picking up everything the lootfilter was still showing

[wicked plover]

if you are really new just shatter stuff that has +level of skill that you want to use for your build

you are not missing out on much, not worth the hoarding

[true heron]

hay folks..im looking to craft a wand... i want "%increased spell damage and - spell mana cost" to craft on it

however i do not have a single shard with that affix

[surreal verge]

You can’t put that affix on a wand anyway

[true heron]

is this affix available via shards or does it only come by drops?

so it only can spawn/roll on drop?

[strange parcel]

what are these called?

[wide sentinel]

that affix is for scepters not wands

[surreal verge]

It is avaliable on scepters only

[true heron]

damn it

[surreal verge]

It cannot be crafted onto wands

[near path]

Lost Caches

[knotty mesa]

I heard that there will be moderators in the game chat after release, is this real?

[surreal verge]

There already are

They don’t have a special icon or anything

Only the devs have one

[knotty mesa]

Seems just in En chat?

[surreal verge]

Not too sure about non-en chats

[near path]

Running into trolls?

There's a report option in game too iirc

[native sail]

Manually connected channels when?

[tawdry bear]

Is the game available play up to release if I buy now?

[near path]

Yes

[surreal verge]

Yes

[tawdry bear]

Thank you

[lavish turtle]

hey! I am currently in the Reign of Dragons monolith (85) and I am currently 74 - should I be progressing more so I can get to the empowered monoliths early? Or is it normal to be here at this level?

[hushed pumice]

Do these idols still exist in the game? I've ran so many echoes with the idol rewards + have the grand idol drop rate blessing and have yet to see a single variant of this drop once. Actually wondering if devs removed this from the loot table?

[knotty mesa]

Constant shitting in game chat, and the same people, and they're shitting with everyone else... I mean, lately there's just insults in the chat..

[native sail]

If you have one it isn't removed

[surreal verge]

Speedrun to empowered as fast as you can

[lavish turtle]

I am missing this one? or is 1 missing after this?

[surreal verge]

It exists

[surreal verge]

Clear reign should give you access to the 3 lv 90 monoliths

[near path]

Yeah sounds like typical LE gen alright. Report and move on for now. Unfortunately it's mostly the salty old trolls active rn, many people are just waiting for 1.0 and not actively playing

[hushed pumice]

feels like the rarest thing ive come across so far, havent seen one yet, and i need 4 of em 😅

[surreal verge]

Rng be a bitch

[true heron]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/frostbite-frost-claw-runemaster-guide#gear--header anyone knows why in advanced gear section this builds reccomends "chance to shock on hit" on the sceptre?...like what does it scale with? shock on hit only gives - lightning res and increased stun chance...but the build does not utilize lightning damage nor does it use stuns?

wouldnt be something like blind on hit be much better?

[native sail]

Blind kinda sucks

[lavish turtle]

Sorry, what is clear reign?

[near path]

Blind is a meme in this game

[surreal verge]

Clearing reign (of dragons)

[true heron]

but the shock on hit does nothing really for the build, or am i missing something?

[knotty mesa]

Well, it'll be great if it turns out the moderators will be in non-En chat.

[knotty mesa]

yes it is 🙂

[near path]

Not familiar with the build itself but Shock as an ailment enables stunning mobs, which is great CC. Ask someone in #🧙┃mage

They might be able to help

[lavish turtle]

Got it! Thanks a lot, will try to speed run it then so I can start empowered at level 75 max

[true heron]

hm okay i will ask there...yeah i know it increases stun chance but the build is not using stuns, it is using freezes

or is freeze = stun?

[near path]

No they're different

[knotty mesa]

try to open 100 and farm there your desired items

[surreal verge]

Any damage can stun if it hits hard enough

[true heron]

really?

oh okay

did not know that

so there is an inate stun chance to all damage types?

[surreal verge]

“Stun” is calculated by damage done and whatever its formula is

[near path]

Press G in game and search for Stun. It explains it in detail

[surreal verge]

Increased stun chance just multiplies that formula in its own way

[true heron]

okay i will look into that thanks as allways guys ur great help thanks

[lavish turtle]

I am just afraid that I am not strong enough for that

[pastel pebble]

You can't handle my potions I bet

[true heron]

... -.-

great the affix "%spell damage and - spell mana cost" does not exist in the lootfilter list of affixes

[flint yew]

its under mana or something

[true heron]

and its the one thing i need most

AH

its called "reduced"... in the tooltip it says - minus

aahhh okay

thanks

[strange parcel]

Am I missing something or is it impossible to run and attack with the same mouse key?

[vocal plank]

If I have "Snowdrift" equip, does that increase it even from sources other than yourself? Maybe even, warcry totem?

[strange parcel]

does this mean I have 50% chance to apply 2 stacks?

[vocal plank]

Yes. Let's say that you have 200% chance you will apply two stacks per hit

So for example, the build I'm making, each bee has 200% chance to apply poison, so each bee on hit will apply 2 stacks of poison to the enemy

[solid temple]

will the game have a fully offline mode after 1.0? 0 interaction with others, and just play on my own?

[toxic echo]

true offline is coming in 1.0, yes

[solid temple]

awesome!

thanks

[vocal plank]

If I have increased minion damage, will that increase the DoT minions do?
Yes right? It's just another source of damage like Increased Minion DoT?

[toxic echo]

generic minion damage effects all minions damage, dots included

[vocal plank]

That's what I thought.
Because man "Serpent's Milk" hits minion Poison DoT hard

[true heron]

what is the maximum new stash tab price? i am at 190.000 currently does it go way higher?

[toxic echo]

it goes up everytime you buy. max is 200 stach tabs. so i think its like 2 mill for the last one? something like that

[true heron]

F

okay...

[jolly pasture]

what would be the best lowish input melee builds? ill be playing on controller

[toxic echo]

warpath

[jolly pasture]

is that paladin? i see it being mentioned on void knight as well

[toxic echo]

any sentinel. paladin and vk are both good

[jolly pasture]

between pal and vk, what has more viability in endgame stuff? im sure both can work, but what is easier to get going?

[native sail]

Pally

[jolly pasture]

bet, thanks

[supple moat]

sometimes I'm getting 1 shotted while doing lv100 monoliths, can someone help me with what I need to increase for survivability ?

Here are two screenshots when I'm not in lich form and when I'm in lich form

[toxic echo]

need 100% crit avoid

[supple moat]

should I try to get 100% endurance for harder monoliths?

ohh right, I was using the chest that gave 100% crit avoidance

and now I switched from it

guess that is why I was getting random 1 shots

[toxic echo]

likely

[supple moat]

and what about the endurance question? is it a stat that I need

[toxic echo]

other than that...not too bad. could use to cut down some res tho

yeah end % should be 60 for sure

[celest jasper]

Hello! If I want a specific legendary, is there a way to farm specifically for it? Like.. idk, rolling items on the gambler?

[toxic echo]

legendaries are crafted by teh player. do you mean uniques?

[celest jasper]

eeh Uniques, yes

[supple moat]

oh it is cappeed at 60 kk, the extra res is not intended, just random stuff from good items

[toxic echo]

no,regular gambler does not give uniques out anymore

[celest jasper]

oh really?

[balmy current]

Yeah, we were all sitting at the gambler getting the uniques we wanted so they removed that functionality several years ago

Though the gambler in the Soul Bastion dungeon can give uniques

[toxic echo]

yeah, for sure. but that extra cold res can be turned into end...things like that. but you got the right idea. get some more crit avoid, max the end %(unless doing the death seal 35% thing)

[native sail]

what a fun time that was

[toxic echo]

yeah. so if looking for specific uniques, check out lastepochtools.com for where to farm them the best

[deep ravine]

friends how do i farm the exiled mage

[surreal verge]

You dont

[toxic echo]

find them in like 95% of echoes...kill him. move to next echo

[deep ravine]

oki ty friends

[celest jasper]

So....

I just gotta grind.. I see

[toxic echo]

more or less. but lastepochtools can give you the best places to grind

each unique is a bit different

[celest jasper]

I am already at that place

It's sorta core i tem for what I am playing

[surreal verge]

The only thing you can do is farm the monolith for it

[toxic echo]

if its a global drop, can also try using runes to get it too

[celest jasper]

It's global trop. The Crest of Unity

[dire marsh]

so.. most interested in VK/Pally/SB and got them all through campaign now.. not really sure which i wanna push endgame with xD out of those what's best or recommended to push high corruption with the first time

[native sail]

Pally is pretty easy to get going higher and smoother than the other two in my experience

[pastel pebble]

IDK if Paladin has more variety/viability. It's hard with VK's variences of some of their shared builds being really damn good

Paladin is def tankier though and easier to gear

[native sail]

I think VK and Pally have similar levels of variety, Pally winning on that front by a little. But Pally is less interesting imo

[celest jasper]

does Rune of Ascendance work if I roll on the base?

[dire marsh]

i've leveled with holy trail jav but prob don't wanna keep playing that though

paladin just seems like a better VK

[pastel pebble]

Outside of Judgmenet VK can do the same moves

[toxic echo]

any helmet base will give any helmet unique/set

[dire marsh]

holy aura seems pretty nice and pala can also get reversal

[celest jasper]

thats annoying

[pastel pebble]

VK does have Anomaly

[steel merlin]

I sure hope pala doesn't get reversal in 1.0

[toxic echo]

well some unique bases dont exist in the game...really the only way around that is to make any helmet roll any unique helmet.

[dire marsh]

hmm yeh but that's not really a perma aura like holy aura which is sad

[pastel pebble]

Oh it can be

When it goes off I normally benefit from its reapplication either from its stun or some dot for enabling things

[dire marsh]

also realistically could I just push a pala or vk and slowly get gear for SB? or is gear more limited to a class to drop

[pastel pebble]

Gear is weighted towards the class you play

[dire marsh]

but no exlusive drops? just lower rates?

[native sail]

You can get gear for other classes just the rates are worse

[dire marsh]

that's fair

i mean void knight archetype is cooler to me but pala seems more comfy and less cooldown management

[pastel pebble]

Play VK if it's cooler to you

[native sail]

May I introduce you to the numpad trick?

[dire marsh]

i already can't play lich cuz i hate having to use reaper/death seal all the time

[native sail]

Lich is kinda... bad tbh.

[pastel pebble]

VK is not nearly as bad

[dire marsh]

in what way

lol

[pastel pebble]

You're not a fish out of water when the buffs run out

[dire marsh]

yeah feels like that on lich.. feels horrible to me

the smite triggering is really interesting to me aswell

with hammers or warpath

it's like Cast on crit from poe xd

[native sail]

Warpath one is bad, hammer trigger is REALLY good

[dire marsh]

hammer trigger looked more intersting to begin with.. since you can use a movement skill while doing dmg and stuff

also seemed stronger from what i saw ye

but that's best to play on paladin no?

[native sail]

1 trigger per second vs like 30 per second
Damn I wonder

[native sail]

Probably. VK can do it as void conversion and it's still alright though.

[dire marsh]

i don't really mind which spec i play

if it's better on one i'll try that

[native sail]

Pally I think is just better than VK by nature of having a better passive tree

And also Holy Aura is kinda stupid lmao

[dire marsh]

that's what my understanding was xD

[true heron]

i am looking for some stats in my character window... "chance to apply frailty" and "ward retention"... where do i find them? am i blind or are they not listed?

[toxic echo]

lots of stats are not listed in the c menu

[dire marsh]

fair enough ^^ i'll try to get that going.. looks fun

[native sail]

Ward retention should be

It's where armor is I think

[true heron]

found ward retention tho...i was blind but i cant find the chance to apply frailty

[native sail]

Frailty may not be on there

[true heron]

is there any way to find them somewhere else?

[native sail]

Import on LETools might show it somewhere

[toxic echo]

maybe that ^ but likely just math

[true heron]

okay thanks

[toxic echo]

not that you need alot of it anyways...caps at 3

[deep ravine]

I CANT FIND ANY EXILED MAGESSS

[true heron]

yep i know so i wanted to keep it as low as possible and see wether or not i have a tiny bit of it

but i try import to last epoch tools, thanks

[vocal plank]

If I have 30 stacks of poison on an enemy does each stack apply 5% reduced Poison Res?

[toxic echo]

yes

[radiant otter]

Hey, recently started playing, could anyone let me know how long (approx.) the story campaign is?

[vocal plank]

Sweet

[toxic echo]

for new players, 8-10 hours.

experienced players, 2-5

[surreal verge]

Yes. You’re going to need them

[radiant otter]

alright thanks for the quick reply 😄

[vocal plank]

Honestly, once you're at the giant deer and he's dead you don't HAVE to continue the story but it's pretty cool

[pastel pebble]

VK Hammersmite goes wild cause it echoes

[radiant otter]

haha I usually like playing thru all of it, but I'll keep that in mind 😉

[vocal plank]

Oh yea I'm making a Poison Bee build and... the damage per poison with or without Serpeants Milk is so bad

[true heron]

if you dont read quests, follow a build guide, are experienced with arpgs and rush rush rush...i'd say a complete beginner will take much longer

[toxic echo]

should play thru the whole thing your first time, get the full experience of lagon and majasa

[true heron]

i took about 20 hours on my first go, without reading quests and a build guide

[toxic echo]

well bees get -50% damage off the bat dont they?

[dire marsh]

but it's not as good still? xd

[vocal plank]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/summon_bee
I don't see a -50%.
I'm making the build so I don't know the actual numbers

[surreal verge]

Serpent’s Milk is … not good for actual poison builds

[pastel pebble]

I'm unsure. I think @wide sentinel might have tested it

[radiant otter]

oh okey, good to know it can vary a bit then 😉

[vocal plank]

Yea I've noticed that. I was using it for the 200% and with the base 50 from poison flask and hivemind it's bad.
Might just change it to bleed

[wide sentinel]

vk hammer smite is the best smite hammer version

[toxic echo]

tunklab has better/easier to find minon stats imo

[surreal verge]

Oh it’s beerogue?

Ohdear

[dire marsh]

elaborate pls xd

[vocal plank]

welp

[pastel pebble]

They can still use Devotion for a ton of flat damage

[dire marsh]

either can use devotion?

[pastel pebble]

While also stacking VIT for extra flat

Yep

You lost some pen and inc but there's a lot of benefits VK can offer

[toxic echo]

you can still get stupid amounts of stacks with hivemind full rolled. ive gotten 999+ its just..the damage and their timer really holds it back

[pastel pebble]

Easy Void Res Shred too off of Anomaly

[wide sentinel]

you do more damage and you also have echoes

[dire marsh]

hmm

[vocal plank]

Yea that's what I'm thinking too and it might not be worth. Idk because I haven't tried it yet

[dire marsh]

but less tanky? or no real downsides over paladin

[wide sentinel]

how is it less tanky

it has all same defense layers

even more cause u use ravenous void

[dire marsh]

idk i'm asking xd been playing for like 3 days

[acoustic thicket]

Up to 40 stacks or 40 damage?

[native sail]

Stacks

[dire marsh]

alright then VK it is

since i'd need the smite idols for vk smite hammer.. should i just play autobomber thingy until then or what's smart

[supple moat]

Need some suggestions for a fast monolith clearing melee build
I currently have 100 lich, sorc, runemaster and would like to see how do they compare in clear spead compared to them

[wide sentinel]

holy trail or normal hammers

[toxic echo]

shadowdaggers rouge is likely the fastest. warpath can be pretty fast too once you get some uniques

[supple moat]

ty

I watched some warpath videos but doesn look like they are fast

[dire marsh]

ah prob gonna do holy trail then

[toxic echo]

the void version with darkstriders is very fast, but it does depend on build

[supple moat]

I just need the build to farm legendaries for multiple builds when 1.0 is released

[pastel pebble]

VROOM

[supple moat]

doesnt have to be high corruption viable

[vocal plank]

How would you calculate the reduced armour from Armour Shred? Beacuse I can ably 42 armour shred per 6 decoys and I just don't know the % increased damage because it's less for things other than phys

[pastel pebble]

Tunklabs may have some calculator for that

[native sail]

Tunklabs has a whole graph for it

[pastel pebble]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/armor

Tadah!

[vocal plank]

Bet thanks. Because 42 armour shred would help with damage

[drowsy vortex]

new player here, how do y'all compare items, especially for damage? I have a hard time figuring out which one will be better, between implicit damage, %increases to melee, elemental etc.

[gusty willow]

Is it possible to legendary craft more of a stat onto an item , for example , mourning frost has 10-20% move speed, can i combine those with something with t7 movespeed and stack it on top?

[native sail]

Yep

[faint cape]

Yeah, stats on the unique don't matter for legendary crafting

[vocal plank]

There are a few ways, you can hold I think CTRL and it will show you what you are gaining and losing and you can tell it to auto do that in the settings. You can look at tooltip damage, but it's not really the best, and you can do just learn the stats.

[vocal plank]

Legendary potential. The more the better

[gusty willow]

neat

[mellow mirage]

depends on the skill you using, when you hover over a skill it tells you what type stats increase it's dmg (area/spell etc..), if you are asking which stat would be better between those in the tool tip that depends on your build, which stats does your build enhance with it's passive tree? and that should be what you want to stack as a general rule

[drowsy vortex]

Oh yeah I know how to compare items themsleves, but how to figure out which stat increases are more or less valuable than other for the damage calculations, does it just come down to testing on actual mobs each time?

[vocal plank]

Yea then refer to NastyYoda's statement above

[flint yew]

if you want to be truly accurate, you'll need to calculate the increase yourself.
for example you have 25 flat damage and an item adds 5 flat
so you'd get 30/25 = 20% more damage overall
increases are the same 'pool' of a multiplier
cast/attack speed would be another multiplier
etc.

[drowsy vortex]

Gotcha, so it's about trial and error, learning and understanding how passive tree connects with skill trees, skill tags and then eq stats

[flint yew]

also depends highly on your skill

but in general every stat your skill uses is a 'more' multiplier in some way

[drowsy vortex]

I'm building a fire warpath/smite paladin right now, getting confused with melee vs elemental vs fire % increases/flat dmg

[vocal plank]

If it has all of those tags than all of them work.
If you have 120% increased ele damage and 120% increased fire damage, they both work just as well as the other.

[flint yew]

flat damage is just your base which gets multiplied by everything else
all 'increases' are one pool of multiplier
30 flat damage
100% increased fire + 200% increased elemental + 100% increased melee
would result in 30 * (1+(1.00 + 2.00 + 1.00)) = 150 total damage
for example

[vocal plank]

The higher the flat damage the better, but it's still super good to have % increased damage. It's generally good to have a good amount of both because of just multiplication

[drowsy vortex]

great stuff, so it's possible and not that hard to calculate 'actual' damage based on the correct calculation

and go from there

[vocal plank]

Yea I can't tell you the amount of hours I have putting together excel sheets just for the purpose

[flint yew]

the best stats for your build are usually what you have the least of

[drowsy vortex]

makes sense, still curious how to translate stuff like strength into damage, but I'll look into the damage calculation first and go from there -thanks folks!

[flint yew]

stats are kinda like hybrid prefixes

usually halfish as much damage as a normal 'increased' mod but give defensive bonuses

[native sail]

Just pop onto LETools and read your skill, it'll tell you exactly what the attribute does to it

[leaden ice]

If you have 100% crit is crit multiplier always better than +flat damage?

[native sail]

No

[faint cape]

No, as always it depends on what gets you more total damage

[steel merlin]

No, you have to guesstimate or do the maths, but as a general rule: flat damage>critmulti>incdamage

[leaden ice]

still have to use my head

another one

it says critical chance of 5%

is that added to your base 5%?

so, 10%?

[faint cape]

Spreadsheet is better than head

[leaden ice]

you got one?

[native sail]

No that is your base

You don't actually have a base globally

[faint cape]

Somebody made a general purpose one, idk where it is though. I think Zeckar made a video on it and then should have a link to it

[native sail]

It's just that the rule is all skills that can crit (barring one and one weird... subskill.. ailment... thing) have 5% base crit, so people just say you have a 5% base crit chance

[surreal verge]

In case you wana know which skill it is

[faint cape]

There are a couple other skills with non-5% base crit, for some reason. I don't remember them lol

Lightning nova has 6%, only one I remember

[native sail]

The... subskill?

[flint yew]

ele nova if it picks lightning has 6% base crit

[steel merlin]

That's so jank

[native sail]

Huh... I wonder if that's even supposed to happen

[flint yew]

well the wording is "20% more crit chance" but yes

[native sail]

Oh okay

[flint yew]

each element has a different effect

[leaden ice]

added damage scaling is all flat * it?

[surreal verge]

Basically

[steel merlin]

20% more crit chance is not the same as +1 though

[flint yew]

...it is

[steel merlin]

ok what happens if you have 100% increased crit chance

no way

wait

[flint yew]

5 * 1.2 * 2

[steel merlin]

that one doesnt work

what happens if you get more flat crit

[flint yew]

its a multiplier

bruh

theres no 'what happens' its math

[steel merlin]

im asking about maths

[native sail]

That's such a weird way of doing that that just makes it objectively worse than making it a base 6% crit

[steel merlin]

more multipliers are normally applied after all the flat

would be weird if this one does

[leaden ice]

something like this?

void: (2 + 6) * (1 + 0.2 + 0.08 + 1) = 18.24
meele: (113) + (1 + 0.72) = 194.36

Total void + meele damage = 212.6

added damage scaling of 450% = 956.7

crit chance multi = 200% (base skill) + 53% (passive)


total crit damage = 956.7 * 2.53 = 2.420

[steel merlin]

and 5*1.2+10 is not the same as 15x1.2

[flint yew]

you didnt multiply the 10 at the start so yes its not the same

[steel merlin]

well yes?

then that 20% doesnt make the skill have 6% flat crit

[faint cape]

It probably should say 20% more base crit chance

[flint yew]

...yes it does if you have no other base crit

[steel merlin]

do we know if it actually works like 6 flat instead of 20% more though father?

[flint yew]

its literally 20% more

[steel merlin]

its not literallyu 20% more

[flint yew]

which is 6

[native sail]

Messao

That's 6% base

[faint cape]

It's not literally 20% more, it's functionally the same as +1%

[native sail]

Which is not the same as 20% more

Because 20% more would be 5% * 1.2

[faint cape]

but it is what it is and the wording just needs improvement

[native sail]

With this the calculation starts at 6%

[flint yew]

alright so the ingame tooltip is wrong

[steel merlin]

yes

it should be either +1 or 20% more base default crit chance or something

[faint cape]

Fun fact, fire nova does the same BS

its "11% more hit damage" is literally just +2 base damage

[steel merlin]

cursed

[pastel pebble]

: (

2

[native sail]

That's it, I'm taking Mike's toes for that shit

[pastel pebble]

Overwhelm bullshit

[faint cape]

The sad part is, that +2 base damage just puts fire nova on par with standard spell base damage... the other noves are simply below the standard lol

[leaden ice]

ye flat is significantly better

total crit damage = 956.7 * 2.53 = 2.420
total crit damage (+160% crit damage from wep) = 956.7 * 4.13 = 3.951
total crit damage (+101 void) = 1952.06 * 2.53 = 5.042

[heady depot]

Do you guys know if there is any kind of bug going on with Detonating Arrow? A lot of times it goes through the mob without hitting it

[wide sentinel]

yes and u described exactly what bug is

[near path]

Yeah, bug

[toxic echo]

DA and bow flurry are like that, yes

[true heron]

when using a rune of ascendancy, can the item roll into ANY lunique of that type? even those which normally only drop by bosses?

[native sail]

Not boss drops

Also uniques

[near path]

No, boss drops are boss drops

[native sail]

Legendaries are different

[heady depot]

Damn, it feels bad to level up with it. I hope we get a fix on 1.0

[true heron]

yep, i meant uniques

[heady depot]

Has it been in the game for a long time already?

[native sail]

Since 0.9.2 (not terribly long)

[true heron]

okay so i wasted like 20 runes of ascendancy then LOL

[toxic echo]

yeah. alot of bug fixes just got pushed to 1.0, instead of a bunch of small fixes, just do one big one at release

[wide sentinel]

there was another bug then previous one got fixed which resulted in a current bug

[leaden ice]

does this mean
(flat meele + flat void) * 1.75

or just flat void * 1.75 but applies only to meele void skills?

[heady depot]

I was going to test a Flurry + Multishot build. Does the bug affect that build as well?

[leaden ice]

also bugged

for bow i suggest dragonsong, the ice one or hail of arrows

[native sail]

So... this build is disgustingly bugged to be dramatically stronger than it should be

[heady depot]

Damn, it seems I have to wait for 1.0 to play bow hahaha

[leaden ice]

absolutely

ive tried both builds you said

started with deto

then went to multi

but dragonsong works great if youre into proc builds

[wide sentinel]

play cinder strike

[heady depot]

Not really. and it is melee, right?

[buoyant sinew]

Those seem to be the same thing?

[leaden ice]

wdym?

[near path]

Cinder Strike is not necessarily melee, can be used with bow

[buoyant sinew]

flat adaptive melee is flat void if you're using a void skill

[wide sentinel]

yep

its bothe melee and ranged

[leaden ice]

Meele and void

so thats all my flat meele and flat void no?

ie: my weapon has 113 meele damage and 101 void damage

[buoyant sinew]

well your flat melee is flat void when you're using a void skill

[leaden ice]

oh

[buoyant sinew]

there's no difference

[toxic echo]

yes so it would be 214 void in this case. plus the base of the skill itself too

[hexed ravine]

Anyone know why I can only play online while using a VPN, any fix to this?

[toxic echo]

likely an isp/routing issue. clearly not a server issue since you can get there from a vpn

[buoyant sinew]

that would mean there's a problem in the routing between you and the server, which is not within EHG's power to fix

[hexed ravine]

How would I go about fixing that

[toxic echo]

call you isp

[flint yew]

go find the company that controls the node you route through and send them an angry email

[buoyant sinew]

You probably can't either, a VPN is the right solution on a personal level. But you can run a trace to see where the problem is and then complain to them

[short star]

you on fiber, coax DSL, or sat?

obligatory turn it off & back on

[steel merlin]

hey man dont shout

[short star]

also tracert, flush your dns, so-on-and-so forth

strange it's working with your VPN

try flushing your dns cache first

[pastel pebble]

You should always flush

It's gross not to

[leaden ice]

so adaptative meele means
(flat void + flat meele) * (all % increases from void and meele)?

[flint yew]

i found it funny that eu has complained about poe lag for months and now we have the same thing here. it has to do with the actual routing infrastucture in europe and nothing a gaming company has any power over

[toxic echo]

for a void skill, in a nutshell yes.

[keen quiver]

I m playing the flamewraith abomination build which is all over youtube but my abomination is not loosing health so i dont get the missing health bonus dmg/surv i tried everything (removing gear respeccing passives etc) did they change it? Can somebody help me somehow really struggling here

[hexed ravine]

Didnt change anything

[toxic echo]

depending on how old the videos are, yes it might have been changed. but i dont think the dread shade auto crit abom thing has changed. you might have better luck down in #💀┃acolyte though.

[short star]

@hexed ravine, my first gut instinct is saying it's DNS-related, something fucky with layer 7

not saying that's 100% it, just my first guess

you using your provider's default DNS?

[hexed ravine]

I was but I also changed it and that still didnt work

[heady depot]

I am currently simulating some cycle starters and it is time for Druid.
Any Druid player here could recommend a build that is easier to get online for early Empowered Monos?

[short star]

i see

i'm prolly wrong then

[near path]

Lightning Swipe Werebear, Swarmblade

Both get going on Walmart reject gear

[toxic echo]

lightning bug, swipe werebear has multiple varieties

[heady depot]

Nice. I was expecting somebody to saw Swarmblade. I am checking the builds and seems that I will have more fun with that than with Werebear, for my own taste

[gusty willow]

as an summon spiders enjoyer in Path of Exile even though its tied to an item , is there a similar build in LE , maybe late game wolves might work but they seem to "fall over" a bit

[buoyant sinew]

squirrels, and they're very strong too

but you need a rare unique to convert wolves to squirrels (Herald of the Scurry)

[toxic echo]

wolves are still pretty good even without the squirrel helmet

[gusty willow]

thats perfect, so i can invest in wolves then farm the black sun timeline ?

[buoyant sinew]

they don't hit the same beats as PoE spiders as much without scurry though

[buoyant sinew]

yes

and cross fingers you don't get a streak of bad luck

[gusty willow]

ahh thats fine, not hitting drop rates is half the fun of the grind

[heady depot]

Yeah, go for Squirrels. Remember that you can also get the helmet with Rune of Ascendancy. I got really lucky and got mine with my first Rune, lol...

But it is not that easy, dont do it expecting that hahaha

[short star]

any luck, @hexed ravine?

[hexed ravine]

nah

[short star]

hmmm

is your service FTTH?

[hexed ravine]

no dont think so

[short star]

if it's not DNSS being fucky, it could be your VPN software config, your router config, a couple different things

can you login to your router and/or modem, and see if your upstream/downstream are active?

or just call your ISP, they'll help better than i will

my brain is a bit fried, lol

[hexed ravine]

What would I even can tell them or ask?

never had a issue like this before

[short star]

tell them you're able to connect via your VPN, but not your actual line

they'll take it from there

if it's not the DNS, it's likely a misconfig or two

really, it could be quite a few things, all of which are typically easy fixes though

hell, even your firewall

sorry i'm not being more helpful, trying to get my brain out of work mode lol

[verbal falcon]

are servers always a bit laggy? and if so, how can they expect to be ready for release soon?

[hexed ravine]

Thanks for trying to help

[fierce ibex]

can you connect to the game when youre not under your vpn

[short star]

he can't

or they can't, rather

[fierce ibex]

and not on vpn either?

[hexed ravine]

no i hit online play then select character it loads for a bit, A unity error window crash and then it closes

[hexed ravine]

I can with a vpn

[toxic echo]

most of their server upgrades are coming with 1.0, instead of piecemealed out over time

[short star]

they bought a row of quantum computers just for 1.0 launch

[fierce ibex]

weird. my guess would either be dns or an isp filter

[short star]

was my very first thought too, @fierce ibex

my gut says DNS

[fierce ibex]

could try setting the dns to 1.1.1.1 and see if that does something

[hexed ravine]

ill try

[short star]

they said they tried changing the defa

...oh

[hexed ravine]

nope same thing

[fierce ibex]

well that eliminates the dns problem then

[short star]

hmmm

[heady depot]

How accurate is tooltip DPS on Last Epoch? At least while leveling, so you know if a random weapon swap is helping or not

[surreal verge]

Shite at every time

[pastel pebble]

Lol

Sometimes it is almost accurate

[short star]

i'll let you take it from here, ink

[fierce ibex]

lol i cant think of anything else

[short star]

starting to have tier 1 flash backs lol

[fierce ibex]

next guess would be a firewall issue

[toxic echo]

its ok at big jumps and being obvious upgrades. but not great and the fine tuning stuff. better to do that at the dummies in champions gate

[short star]

my 2nd guess as well

[slow kernel]

For people who plan on playing SSF style on launch are you planning on playing online vs offline? Right now mtx would be the main reason to play online correct?

[fierce ibex]

ig could try turning it off and then try connecting

[toxic echo]

its doing a true ssf, yeah mtx or leaderboards for bragging rights

[short star]

they power-cycled

[fierce ibex]

nah i meant turning off the firewall itself

[short star]

ahhhh

[slow kernel]

Leaderboards is a good point. Is there just arena for that on launch or other stuff?

[short star]

would for sure help in isolating the cause

[surreal verge]

Just a note that the 'ssf faction' still allows you to party

[toxic echo]

just arena afaik. they talked about other leaderboards but i dont think thats coming 1.0

[hexed ravine]

like windows defender firewall or network firewall

[slow kernel]

Yeah I just don't have any friends that play lol

And offline will be good for stability

[short star]

any firewall you have running

so likely windows defender

disable all options

domain, private, public

[hexed ravine]

nope same crash

[hexed ravine]

yeah did that same problem

[fierce ibex]

and you dont have one configured on your router itself?

[hexed ravine]

how would i check that

[lethal mural]

i know enemy enrage means they get stronger but does anyone know whats gets buffed to them ?

[short star]

call up your ISP, ask them to remote in and look at your settings

[fierce ibex]

going to your browser and typing in 192.168.1.1

thats usually the default at least

[short star]

ye

[fierce ibex]

ye honestly at this point, this would be the easiest

without sitting down and looking at it all, theres not much more we can help with

[olive tinsel]

Harvest has a baseline 100% more dmg vs cursed targets, which means effectively it has 140%

Also it not only has 9% base crit but Iron Mouths gives 10-50% base crit.

With just 3 points in Iron Mouths you get 100% crit by only passives and Reaper Form.

The only thing Harvest is missing from its skill spec tree is attack speed

[short star]

yeah, it could be a few different things that's causing it

my gut is still saying DNS for some reason

lol

[surreal verge]

Yeah attack speed is it's other sin

[fierce ibex]

idk why it would be, unless it didnt actually change to 1.1.1.1, because theres no way cloudflare is blocking this game lol

[faint cape]

If you press alt on the source it'll explain. It gives a lot of attack/cast/move speed. I highly recommend never going into boss fights with this modifier active.

[short star]

fair point

i vote just call up your service provider, @hexed ravine

they'll have you power-cycle your modem and/or router again, after that, ask them to remote in

[acoustic thicket]

Does anyone know, if stuff like Apostacy, is fixed in 1.0? (on character sheet)

[short star]

and they'll also be able to check your router via their side

[hexed ravine]

Alright

[toxic echo]

no one knows what will actually be fixed bug/display wise in 1.0 until patch notes a few days before release

[acoustic thicket]

I'm not very optimistic with bug fixes tbh, I hope I will be surprised on launch.

[next gale]

Is there an option to skip campaign for 2nd or 3rd charact like diablo or i have to run campaign for every new character like poe?

[toxic echo]

every chatacter, since D4 has a scaling world, they can do that. LE and poe have static worlds, so, pretty hard

[faint cape]

Most likely not. This one is hugely unlikely to function until the character sheet rework, and even then it's a maybe.

[dawn pollen]

how many affixes can you seal on a weapon

[faint cape]

The amount of the campaign you have to run for repeat characters is dramatically diminished, and you can juice them with leveling items really well

[faint cape]

1, same as all item types

[dawn pollen]

oh okay thanks

[acoustic thicket]

I have a friend who rage quit the game because of the projectile bugs with rogue. I recommended the game to him 😅

[junior knoll]

Are characters being reset when 1.0 comes out?

[toxic echo]

no.current toons are being moved to legacy and will be playable and have all content from this patch

the fresh cycle start is optional

[dire marsh]

isn't there like a general nooby loot filter that gets recommended? xd

[toxic echo]

heavy has some generic filters online. but really taking 10 minutes to learn the filter system is going to be way better for you

[lethal mural]

@faint cape thx , you are so helpful

[dire marsh]

yeah but I mean there's loot filters that know better what stats you want on which pieces and what not.. learning what's good and where through a loot filter seems nice

[lavish turtle]

anyone who has done Frostclaw care to help me figure out why I can't get to 300+ mana? Even with Crystal Wand + Arcane Visage + Arcane Regalia? I'm only at 221 mana, it's weird

[toxic echo]

no generic loot filter is going to know you build better than the person playing it. again heavy has some generic ones online...most guides come with filters as well, and most build planning sites have ways to import/export filters

[dire marsh]

yeah I know about the build specific ones but I kinda wanna play more classes/builds and don't really want hide everything so something generic is better

[toxic echo]

trying to farm for classes outside of your own is pretty hard since the drops are weighted towards your class

[steel merlin]

this is the same logic that makes fire crit flask skill strong (it doesnt)

[dire marsh]

i mean sure but doesn't keep other class items from dropping at all.. also it's not that good if you wanna transition into another build later

[vital coral]

Is it worth running a shield on a caster or is it better to go with an off hand catalyst in LE?

[toxic echo]

entirely depends on the build. but most likely catalysts tho. can do some janky stuff with shock/stun with some shields tho

[vital coral]

Aight thanks

[junior knoll]

any advantage of fresh start over legacy? i assume most people are expected to play on fresh

[faint cape]

The fresh start is the advantage. But aside from that, there is a ladder on cycle and none on legacy.

[toxic echo]

not really any advantages...just if you want a fresh start and ladders. there have been plenty of people that are planning on playing legacy

[dire marsh]

so these two are kinda pointless when you just start with a timeline no? xd should i just save them

[vital coral]

Will the Trade house be common between both legacy and cycle players or will it be split?

[mighty nova]

I think we have confirmation that it will be split.

[vital coral]

Thanks, if more are going to be on cycle I might get better trades there

[toxic echo]

pretty much useless at the start, yes

[short star]

lemme know if the issue gets resolved, btw

[dire marsh]

is there even any point in getting corruption before doing empowered?

[faint cape]

Not really, no

[ancient pasture]

How much chance to shred armor % is good enough?

[dire marsh]

i see

[faint cape]

Depends on your hit rate

[ancient pasture]

Where is my hit rate calculated

Is that just like how fast I actually hit?

[toxic echo]

you always hit. unless the enemy has dodge/block buffs

your attack speed is determined by weapon and skills and any applicable speed modifier on gear and passives

[ancient pasture]

I have 70% bow IAS

Plus haste procs and such

[hexed ravine]

i just bought 1 month of a vpn for now, If i am really enjoying the game by the time it releases i will look to fix it then

[dusky cosmos]

where do I get Runes of Chaos from?

[wind oak]

Just playing

It's a general drop

You'll get more when you get to monoliths

[dusky cosmos]

isnt it glyphe of chaos?

[acoustic thicket]

Does cooldown recovery rate work on item procs like this one?

[near path]

No

[acoustic thicket]

RIP

[near path]

CDR stat only works on skills on your skill bar

(i too learnt this a couple days ago)

[short star]

:))

[bitter badge]

for this trait in the Warlock passive tree, what is the purpose of the scaling effect cooldown? I'm just confused because it seems like the cooldown gets longer the more points you put in

[toxic echo]

i honestly would assume its a bug and not supposed to scale up. lol. not all the warlock/falconer stuff is from a perfect bug free build

[bitter badge]

ah okay, I assumed I was just being stupid 😂

[buoyant sinew]

from memory I think it's just an error from whoever entered the data in maxroll

the video shows a non scaling 3 sec cooldown

[dire marsh]

@wide sentinel so realistically how fast am i gonna get smite idols? :D all i can really do is farm idol monos right

idk if they are rare or anything

[near path]

Can take a while

[buoyant sinew]

they're not rare by idol standards but you need 4 of them with ok rolls

[near path]

Especially well rolled ones

[buoyant sinew]

which means you could be playing to like 95 before you find them

depends on your luck

[dire marsh]

oh that's a while yeah

[buoyant sinew]

I always tell people to play another sentinel build until they show up

[dire marsh]

yeah ofc xd i'm playing holy trail now.. wanted to try smite hammer

not really worth switching before 4 well rolled ones either then huh

since those are the only source of proccing smite

for hammers atleast

also is there just a point where it wants you to reset the timeline? cuz i only keep finding reset things and reroll things

[faint cape]

If you go far enough out, yeah it's all resets. The resets do just get more common up to that point though, making it kinda hard to reach the limit.

[dire marsh]

i see.. so resetting is something you have to do pretty often

[hasty tartan]

If I have experience with other ARPGs and want to try my hand at making my own starter build, should I be avoiding all uniques or just super rare ones?

Say I want to make a build using frostbite shackles and snowdrift, would that be an okay idea since frostbite shackles are a boss drop and it says snowdrift is common on LETools?

[lavish turtle]

a question, can a boss loot unique drop from an echo that drops uniques?

[hasty tartan]

I don't think boss loot ones can

[lavish turtle]

thanks

[faint cape]

Depends on your goals, if you're trying to up corruption yes, but if you're just chilling then no

[faint cape]

You can since those are both easy to get, as long as you plan for what you'll run until you get them

[celest jasper]

Will Falconeer come with 1.0?

[toxic echo]

yes

[celest jasper]

Noice

[wide sentinel]

idk maybe a week of active farming not that long

[dire marsh]

eh that's quite long when it's useless after 1.0

[pallid lantern]

how long does lightning aegis last from lightning blast?

[toxic echo]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/lightning_aegis

[pallid lantern]

yeah ive looked at that. it doesnt mention a duration anywhere o-o

[buoyant sinew]

Lightning Aegis causes an explosion of lightning damage when you lose 25% of your health or after 10 seconds.
it ends after the explosion

[toxic echo]

its literally in the skill text

[pallid lantern]

the text says it causes an explosion after 10 seconds but didn't imply 10 seconds for the buff. Thanks for clarifying ending after explosion.

[celest jasper]

I tested my elemental nova build, I am happy.

[exotic estuary]

Not necessarily. Still nice idols to have when messing around in standard.

[dire marsh]

meh.. never touched standard in any arpg and probably never will xd

[exotic estuary]

Fair enough.

[livid sinew]

hi ive been playing with a bud for a while and just realized one of my main quets wont progress called the desert waystation and it wants me to use the artifical waypoint and it wont progress no matter what, anyone know a fix?

[dusky cosmos]

seems pretty overpowerd ..

[desert tree]

Pretty rare, and the roll variance is massive

[dusky cosmos]

understood

[desert tree]

Every res roll is independent

So you can have
2/5/40/8/24/7/12
Or
34/43/39/27/20/41/30

The first one is meh at best the second is pretty pog

It doesn't drop often, and only at 200+ Corruption from Orobyss

[maiden siren]

It's almost like Ventor's without the ability to roll negative. Definitely more rare though.

[toxic echo]

similar, yea

[tall narwhal]

So i'm leveling/playing a cold runemaster converting fire to cold in the 20s, but I had a legendary staff that was way more DPS then anything else I had so this but it has necrotic damage.
Am I still better off using any Cold or Fire based damage weapons or at my level what ever is doing more damage?

[near path]

generally speaking campaign is kinda whatever. But you should ideally make it a habit of using synergistic equipment

as you level up the increased, more and flat bonuses from passives and skill trees will start mattering much more

and your weapon will become a stat stick, so it's important it have the right stats

[zinc forum]

Hello! I am not up to date with the latest news. Can we expect changes to the older mastery classes with 1.0?

[toxic echo]

there will be big balance changes and new skills and tons of stuff, yes. 99% of it we will know on patch notes during hype week before release

[zinc forum]

Cool, thanks!

[wide sentinel]

tldr in theory every class will get something...realistically dont expect too much

[viral kettle]

can some1 help me with item filter pls? i cant seem to enable to show the "silver" rings with movement speed, i dont know why are they not showing lol...i have rule to show them above the rule to hide all items of normal, magic and rare... the ring on the ground is rare, silver with speed, but i dont see it if i make filter to show all silver rings, and put it above the one i said above

[heady depot]

How do you guys level up your Swarmblade Druids? I saw some guides using Ice Thorns and Maelstron, and these were my saddest hours spent in this game 😁

And I already leveled a lot of other classes. This was by far the worst experience

[minor vigil]

i used thorn totems into locust swarm

[wicked plover]

make a screen of your filter

[viral kettle]

nah, i figured it out... i have 2 filters in 1, and it cant work like that, need to be separate

all good

i have one with suffixes and then i had ring

and when i separated them it all works

[dusky kite]

Yea that's a reasonable idea but you shouldn't make a build that is unplayable without them as a starter. It still takes time to farm shit up.

[dusky kite]

don't trust the tooltip is the first point. The second is, flat is the best stat for most builds (save ailment/minion ones) so if your unique had higher flat, that's the reason for you right there.

[dusky kite]

I see no reason why you can't build the baseline melee stats and right click mobs to death, should work just fine without going out on a limb for high level synergies

[heady depot]

Because I would like to have a good way of going through the first levels as fast as I can so I can actually starting playing the build I am looking forward to?

[dusky cosmos]

Hello,

Is the game intented to be full legendary in the end game?

[toxic echo]

legendary and exalteds

[heady depot]

Not really. A lot of the optimized endgame builds have exalts in it

Exalts being the better version of rare itens

[dusky cosmos]

in avarage , whats the ratio between legendarys and exalteds?

[toxic echo]

100% build dependant

[flint yew]

1 or 2 usually, unless you are lowlife then its your entire build

[toxic echo]

some builds 1-2...i currently have 6 legendaries. just depends on what uniques fit your build

[heady depot]

Another thing that allow some builds to have a lot of legendaries is the fact you can add affixes from rare itens (exalted ones) to legendary itens

[dusky cosmos]

is there a list where you can see which item can have sorten affixes?

[toxic echo]

lastepochtools has all the lists

[dusky kite]

The goal is to have as many legendaries as possible, but getting them in practice would usually require enormous amounts of time making it impractical for any normal player. Maybe if you hit 25-40% of slots as legendaries with 1-2 lp on relevant uniques, you can consider yourself to be well-geared

even then it's extremely unlikely to be anywhere close to bis because rolling one "BIS" legenadry (near max rolls, perfect affixes for your build with good rolls) would likely take hundreds of attempts

[dusky cosmos]

I just ask, because I tried to build a runemaster, but he dont do any damage based on items. Idk - its seems like its the same liek POE. You cant run 100% legendarys, what is total okay! I have to look into it again. ^^

[dusky kite]

between the rng of dropping the uniques, dropping them with enough lp, having those lp drops have decent base rolls, getting exalteds with proper affixes, getting good roll on the affixes, getting the rolls on legendary crafting..

it's a good 5-10 layers of increasingly unfavorable rng

[dusky kite]

nearly no build runs 100% uniques just because, as most uniques are worthless to any given build and even the uniques that are theoretically useful can easily be worse than a good rare or exalted at 0 lp

but yeah there are some builds that run uniques in every slot or pretty damn close

[dusky cosmos]

I think there are many niche items that could be super cool in the future, and I pretty much like this idea

Can you wear 2x wands or a wand + sepctre?

[toxic echo]

no. certain weapon types cannot be DW. the DW node for you class will tell you want you can DW. wands and sceptres are never DW

[dusky cosmos]

understood.

How do you decide which subclass you take for a certain build?

Example: I want to build a fire mage. Runemaster gives me 30% ele damage and 10% cast speed. Should I go with sorc. if i dont want to use any runemaster spells?

[dusky kite]

its the other way around, rm is basically a better sorc in every way so you just pick rm unless you want to play meteor

cause black hole, error 404 skill not found

[dense root]

tbh for mage runemaster is much better than the other two options

but in general it's about which second half tree you want

since you can only get one

[dusky cosmos]

why is it?

[toxic echo]

normally you would plan out your passive trees in advance...or at least skills you would want ot know which tree you need. currently yes RM is better than sorc, but in an overall sense...plan ahead

[dusky cosmos]

why? because of it's passve?

[toxic echo]

his passive tree is newer, and therefor better

[dense root]

runemaster just has much stronger passives yeah

[toxic echo]

sorc is still playable tho.

[dense root]

well also stronger skills

[toxic echo]

its just like an A where RM is an easy S

[dusky cosmos]

I dont know. I think runemaster got the better one when you want to play it's mechanic with runes. otherwise half the nodes are pretty much useless

[dusky kite]

eh its kinda playable in a couple of builds, but it's very much meh and still has a ton of internal problems in its tree despite the recent update

[dusky kite]

nah passives for most masteries don't matter much as they are usually increased damage and you already swim in it from other sources by endgame

[dusky cosmos]

any information about a rework?

[dusky kite]

check back in a few years

[toxic echo]

1.0 is bringing tons of balance changes. nothing specific about mages. reworks are slated for marksman and forge guard before mage for sure tho

[dusky kite]

nah it just has more power in its passive tree, no other way around it

sorc is not terrible in this regard but nothing to write home about

and masteries like shaman, fg, sb or marksman just have shit passive trees

[near path]

MM passive tree is pretty good actually, for its playstyle

the stun nodes are wildly OP

[toxic echo]

MM passive tree is too expensive. too many 10point nodes

and few/none of the put 5 in and get a bonus

[near path]

but yeah I mean as long as BM and RM exist it's kinda lol, lmao even

[near path]

yes, it's a very all-or-nothing tree

very little dipping

at least the "all" portions are good

[marble zinc]

Will controller support be fully implented on 1.0 or still partial with mouse pointer?

[toxic echo]

believe they said it will be finished/close to finished with 1.0

[pearl oyster]

do most people not group in this? is grouping like in PoE? Is the world itself like PoE, or D2 with server selection?

im getting ready to buy this just trying to figure out what to expect

[dusky cosmos]

Hello 0pz

its more like POE 🙂

But you can play with friends and do maps etc.

[pearl oyster]

how does trading work?

[dusky cosmos]

There will be a future system where you can give a friend of yours a Item you dropped in a map when he was not beside you

its like a "friend bound"

[near path]

No trade yet. #news

[dusky cosmos]

I will send you a video wait.

[pearl oyster]

ok
