[molten swift]

poe stresses me OUT LOL, its fun i wont lie and will def come back to it for PoE 2 but i cannot be hardcore with that its too overwhelming for me personally

ive never heard of grim dawn

[short star]

and https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides

[molten swift]

ty!

[short star]

np

oh, don't get me wrong, i absolutely love PoE, it's insane complexity and all

but i also have to be in a certain mood for it

and LOTS of prepping

[mighty nova]

if you like arpgs Grim Dawn is great, pretty solid all around and despite the age it's still well-supported by the devs and community

[molten swift]

felt and real

[short star]

my buddy @merry veldt says i have PoE PTSD, because i went a bit overboard with Last Epoch prepping when i bought it

lol

[molten swift]

i may check that out too

[molten swift]

LOL yeah after PoE im scared to make mistakes now when making a build

[short star]

i even added the Last Epoch Tools bot to our server lol

[mighty nova]

respeccing in LE is cheap and easy so don't worry too much about build mistakes, you can just revert them

only thing you can't revert is your mastery

[short star]

^

[edgy sphinx]

I'm one of those ppl that saw that big ass passive tree and went "NOPE!".

[mighty nova]

but you grab that early on enough that it's not too bad to just make something of every mastery you're interested in and test drive them a bit

[short star]

heh, that's only the intro skill tree

[mighty nova]

I saw PoE's skill tree and bounced off the first time

[short star]

there's ...more

a lot more

especially once you get into mapping

[mighty nova]

but after I discovered that I like ARPGs I managed to stick for a little longer until the difficulty dislodged me

[edgy sphinx]

I eventually went back but the game is just ugly to me. Not the graphics per se, but the art style. I don't like the way tooltips look (Too bloated by default) and the cosmetics are too busy.

[short star]

i've only ever gotten as far as mid-tier mapping, which isn't even endgame really

[edgy sphinx]

I lasted..... 6 hours? Maybe?

I think I got to the START of Act 2.

[short star]

...and i have almost 1k hours in PoE lol

pfft, the acts are basically just the tutorial

😄

[edgy sphinx]

Then I failed the tutorial.

[short star]

many do

[molten swift]

i like to say PoE is new player-phobic lmao

[short star]

i did too, in my first few attempts at playing the game

back in like 2013-ish

[edgy sphinx]

Okay a little over 7 hrs.

[short star]

hell, i'd still consider myself a casual

(my review) lmao

and the highest lvl i've managed to reach in a league is uh, 90(?)

maybe high 80s

meanwhile, my buddy @merry veldt:

muh boi goes hard

wake your ass up, Kolmio, i'm over here bragging about you lol

[proper shoal]

a buddy of mine cant see the requires level number on his gear but i can, reason for that?

is there a certain requirement to see item requirement

[short star]

hmmm, perhaps a visual big?

not AFAIK

[proper shoal]

he checked integrity files and all that

[short star]

bug* ffs

[scarlet trout]

@kind imp thanks guys. I guess if I tap Focus I get haste for a fraction of a second. I've been using Wrongwarp as a wand too so I get buffed from that. Will do some testing. But i was hoping to hear that people are using variations of that build :d

[cedar comet]

hey guys, I found this info about drop source of body armor named Fundamental Criterion. Does that mean I can't get it from rune of Ascendence and it only drops from echo reward "Unique or Body Armour" at Blood, Frost and Death ?

I realise some echo reward "Unique Item" at Blood, Frost and Death, is there a chance I get Fundamental Criterion from thats kind of reward instead ?

[near path]

all non-boss uniques can be an output of Rune of Ascendance

generic "unique item" rewards can also give this item

but you're best off farming "Unique Body Armor" reward echoes

in Blood, Frost and Death

[cedar comet]

oh, poor my luck, I'm grinding 2 days through but get none of it

[cosmic mirage]

Anyone know how to search items I can equip in stash on my alt? Does such function exist?

[near path]

Stash tab search is really barebones atm

Just the text string search is there

[proven forge]

Will dungeon keys be tradeable via the trade faction?

[surreal verge]

No. Only equipment

[cosmic mirage]

Ty.

[cunning sleet]

wandering spirits does not scale off minion correct?

[edgy cape]

so I need to get this for my build

I have gotten it but how do I get the same stats on it?

this is what I have

[safe harness]

you need to find a smoke weaver with legendary potential 1 and an exalted dagger with +44 phys damage then win the 1/4 lotto in temporal sanctum

[surreal verge]

It's not a minion, so yes.

[edgy cape]

the temporal sanctum is just a dungeon no am I able to do it alone?

[safe harness]

you can do it alone

[edgy cape]

should I bring keys?

[safe harness]

it costs 1 temporal sanctum key per attempt

[surreal verge]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/legendary_items

[safe harness]

but if you don't have an lp 1 smoke weaver, you won't be able to get it to have added phys damage on it

[edgy cape]

thx

[edgy cape]

thx

[lost umbra]

Does Sigils of hope benefit a lightning jav/smite? It says it converts all sources of ignite (and I think fire damage in the tool tip) to electrify and lightning damage respectively, but I just wanted to be sure I didn't miss something

[near path]

Sigils is one of those stupid skills that benefits almost everything a Pally / VK does in some way

if nothing else you will like it for the free +100% inc damage or the block chance and effect, or the regen or the healing effect

the ignite chance boost from Sigils will be converted to Electrify with the resp. node in Jav tree (or a Tu'rani's)

[lost umbra]

Does the additional fire damage convert as well?
edit:
And Holy Aura benefits it too, I assume with the converstion, yeah?

[near path]

no flat damage does not apply to ailments

[rough reef]

Can you get 2-4 lp items doing anything that could drop the item or is it only higher stuff?

[near path]

and yeah Holy Aura will work too

[near path]

corruption has an effect on overall rarity of drops

[rough reef]

I have 4 level 90+ and Never seen a lp 3+ lol

[near path]

so you're more likely to drop uniques, which can then roll LP

however the new corruption system in 1.0 will also "slightly" (as per the wording) affect LP chance

[rough reef]

Perfect thank you! @near path

[tranquil pike]

Does "mana spent gained as ward" work when spending fury?

[near path]

Uhh not sure actually. Where is this from? Can you screenshot?

Logically it shouldn't but I'm trying to think of cases where the game conflates mana and rage

[faint cape]

Rage? Yes

Rage is just orange mana

[near path]

Wow really? TIL

[tranquil pike]

Whoops yeah I meant rage

That's actually super cool. Going to try Strand of Souls on my swarmblade

[soft rivet]

I understand but don't get the reference xD

[faint cape]

Yeah, just a little bit of warning though, most transform skills have no mana cost

Mana consumed (such as by proccing skills) doesn't count as mana spending

I don't think swarmblade form actually has any skills that spend mana

[short star]

mythical staffs/spears

was just making a shitty, nerdy joke

😄

[velvet solstice]

Tanky builds
I'm coming from PoE and wonder if there is a playstile similar to Righteous Fire Chieftain in Last Epoch?
RF Chieftain, is basically a very tanky class (90% in all Res & massive HP-regen) with a skill that creates a fire aura around yourself (Righteous Fire). The gameplay is pretty relaxed, you move from pack to pack, killing mobs with the fire dot from the aura and have a chance to explode them on death.

I’ve been trying Paladin, but I haven't gotten far. But it seems to have some resemblance with being a tanky and sustainable class. I’ve used Warpath since it's a pretty smooth aoe skill. Reading online it seems that the Sentinel isn’t as tanky as I thought? Has this changed? The posts are quite old.

[edgy cape]

why're my graphic settings bugging out? anyone know how to fix?

[buoyant sinew]

Judgement is the closest thing to RF you're going to do well with, so Paladin is fine. there's a node in its tree that turns its fire spell component into an aura, but you still have to reuse it every few seconds. Aura of Decay is exactly RF with the permanence and self damage, but currently it is terrible.

Sentinel not being tanky is correct, due to weird balance stuff it's probably the least tanky class right now if comparing the suite of optimal builds. basically, it specialises in health, block and armour but

• health is inferior to ward at the moment
• block is numerically hard to invest in right now
• everyone gets lots of armour

in addition, because sentinel's mastery classes are some of the oldest in the game they just aren't up to the standards of the new ones, and especially in the tank stakes there isn't much of the straight damage reduction that other classes get

mind you, the Rebuke skill allows you to become impossible to kill by pressing a button so that's the tank trump card Sentinel has

also none of this really matters until you get deep into the endgame

(also also basically everyone here knows PoE, you can safely refer to PoE stuff without explaining them)

[velvet solstice]

Ah, I see. Hopefully the Sentinel would see changes after release then, if it has some of the oldest masteries.
Being weaker in the endgame? Sounds exactly as the RF experience.

What would be the "tankiest" class atm.?

[buoyant sinew]

blade dancer, druid and rune master all have claims to that title, don't think it's fair to pick between them

[velvet solstice]

Is that for like, passive tankiness, or does that count for cooldowns etc. ?

[buoyant sinew]

druid gets very tanky passively, blade dancer is a mixture of passive and cooldowns, rune master is more cooldowns and also constantly using skills to generate ward

[velvet solstice]

Cool. I'll have a look at Druid then, before 1.0 thanks!

[buoyant sinew]

good luck. and of course the 1.0 patch notes might change it all

[velvet solstice]

For sure

[flint yew]

there's a melee werebear that can probably get over 3k regen

[velvet solstice]

Sounds fun. I like large HP pools. I'll have to look into the skills for Primalist/Druid, see if anything clicks with me

[flint yew]

also sentinel has interesting things to do with higher gears levels since you can have 100% block and cover your whole health bar with endurance at the same time

[frosty pollen]

I'm playing without following a build guide, now i'm trying empowered monolith. Can clear some of them, but I die way too many times and lose a lot of rewards. Is it "viable" to just farm normal monolith to get better gear/level? Most of my gear is T20 and/or with 1 T6, although i invested alot in damage and not so much in defense. Basically i just want to know if T6/T7 on good bases can drop in normal monolith or the drop rate is so low it's not really viable to farm those

[desert tree]

Not really

Import your character in Lastepochtools.com

And post your planner in the right channel ( #🔱┃sentinel for exemple)

Maybe someone can give you a few quick fix to make you tankier

[vague cloak]

If i were to play necro or lich right now. Could that be a good idea in hopes of some sort of acolyte based gear and idols could be used on the warlock?

[sour zealot]

hello why i cant enter blood frost and death monolith after finishing last ruin, age of winter, and spirits of fire ?

[short star]

apparently fucking violates the CoC: https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/2348133056890779107/3974A14E5FC3D35575A8DB8CEF1423091D176112/?imw=5000&imh=5000&ima=fit&impolicy=Letterbox&imcolor=%23000000&letterbox=false

😄

[velvet solstice]

Yea, I'll be playing with someone, so Paladin sounds nice because of the support. Don't know how much support is useful in LE though.

[buoyant sinew]

a paladin can give a lot of buffs to an ally without sacrificing any selfish stats. Nothing game changing but it's nice to have

[acoustic thicket]

what is the "of Fortification" affix?

[flint yew]

hybrid armor/crit damage reduction, the shard name is bugged

[dusky kite]

for most of the uniques the chance of getting a 3 lp drop is very small

like maybe not "astronomically" small but given that it rolls against all drops of that specific unique, it's up there

for a 50-60 lpl unique that would be in range of <0,1% off the top of my head

Ah yes, the infamous spear of legend, the deadly (checks notes) Gay Bulge

especially deadly when inserted into the victim's anus

like you know in that duel with Ferdiad

[dusky kite]

well, let's be real here, back in the day this was the opposite of "nerdy" culture

[meager jetty]

Can you progress through the monoliths as a party? Or how does that part work?
Is it more like I need help can I invite you for help, or can you actually progress through the monolith endgame as a party?

(Been ages since I played)

[rocky warren]

Tell me why HP is lost when moving to another zone?

[dusky kite]

it's a bug where your items get taken off and reequipped while zoning

[night cave]

Hi everyone, quick question regarding added damage:
If I get added fire damage, would it increase base damage of a fire tagged skill even though its base damage is physical dmg and not fire dmg ?

[dusky kite]

flat damage gets added to all skills of an applicable type, so say if you got +10 melee fire damage it would get added to a physical melee skill (but not to a fire spell, or a physical spell for that matter)

[rocky warren]

how can I fix this?

[dusky kite]

apply to EHG as a dev, fix this shit, submit your two weeks notice

[balmy pasture]

If I buy a pre-order now, when the game comes out, will I have something that people who buy it after the game comes out won't?

[dusky kite]

you'll have like a cosmetic pet but otherwise nothing major

it's the uh weird sea horse like dragonet or whatever

[night cave]

So in the example I gave, is the answer yes ?

[dusky kite]

yes

[balmy pasture]

Okay. I'm thinking of buying it but I think I might wait for the release and people's reviews.

[night cave]

so when is the type of the base damage relevant over the tags of a skill ?

[surreal verge]

Damage type increases, and adaptive flat damage

Eg: If you get +20 flat meele damage, the 20's damage type will depend on your skill's damage type tag.

[night cave]

why am i struggling so much to understand this lmao

[surreal verge]

Also, skill nodes that convert damage type normally also just full convert the base damage along with it.

EG: changing a skill from physical to fire means that the skill itself now doesn't have any physical, it's purely fire

[rocky warren]

how long this bug?

[surreal verge]

Last major patch.

[rocky warren]

hope they will fix this on next patch)

[short sandal]

How do u import your character to lastepochtools please

[night cave]

And this happens because the skill has a melee tag ?
So added damage is gotten from all tags w/ flat increases, then converted to the base damage type ?

[desert tree]

Then you fill your info if you are online, or go fish your save file if you are offline

[surreal verge]

If they don't mention damage type, yes.

WHich is mostly on weapon bases.

Example, this thing

[night cave]

this would add flat damage on all skill with a melee tag, and the damage would be applied as the type of the skill's base damage. correct ?

[surreal verge]

Yup.

[night cave]

YES!!
I got it now, thank you so much !

[heady depot]

Is the fact we can just body slam every boss in this game a bug? I am here trying to fight Emperor of Corpses but I keep pushing him to the edge, lol

Making it kinda difficult to dodge stuff

[native sail]

It is a bug yeah. Should be fixed for 1.0

[heady depot]

Nice, thanks!

[gaunt vale]

how do you tell the difference between additive crit chance and multip crit chance?

like if an item has % crit chance, how do u tell if its one or the other

[heady depot]

As far as I know it is always explicit in this game.

It is going to say Critical Strike Multiplier if it is so

But maybe someone can add something more

[gaunt vale]

Well theres like
Increased Critical Chance
Melee Crit chance
Implicit crit chance
Crit chance on using a skill
Skill has x crit chance
x added to base crit chance

[native sail]

Base/flat crit is written +X% [type] Critical Strike Chance
% Increased Critical Strike Chance is a multiplier to your flat
% More Critical Strike Chance is a multiplier to the total after Increased is run

[gaunt vale]

ooo

[heady depot]

Yeah, I literally didnt read your question properly, sorry.

[gaunt vale]

ok i get it now. Thanks

and np

[native sail]

No problem.

[vague cloak]

Dumb question are there target dummies anywhere if where?

[storm blaze]

At the arena entrance

[desert tree]

Divine Era , right to Heobora

[vague cloak]

guess im not that far in the game

[desert tree]

1st Playthrough ?

[vague cloak]

well been a long time since i played and never got that far tbh

[marble jasper]

Hi all, is there a proper/preferred way to get into contact with the Community Managers?

[toxic echo]

A ping is fine for CMs. Or you can DM them as well. @cedar locust is the one you see the most around this time

[cedar locust]

Hi!

[marble jasper]

thank you!

[desert tree]

Not my fault, I am innocent

[marble jasper]

Hi Averielle, I had some questions about Lurkit/content creator stuff. would it be okay to DM you?

[cedar locust]

Sure, I'm not the person handling all of that but I'll do my best to help/answer!

[marble jasper]

okay ty, and no worries either way!

[ruby hawk]

is it allowed to use cheat engine in the game?

or mods etc

[kind imp]

No, and I don’t even think there are mods for the game yet.

Why would you ever think Cheat Engine would be allowed in an online game?

[dusky kite]

they don't care what you do in offline

[ruby hawk]

is it online tho? You only play with ppl if u party with them

same with monster hunter

[surreal verge]

It is.

It's always online, like PoE.

[dusky kite]

if your character is online, it's stored on the server and you won't be able to edit it with local tools

[ruby hawk]

hmm so its different than monster hunter

alright

didnt know that

[cedar locust]

Both Online Solo and Online Party are still Online and have a server connection requirement. Anyone found using third party tools in an attempt to cheat may be subject to Moderation Actions

[surreal verge]

Well, it's called Cheat engine for a reason, you know...

[hushed hill]

are online character server based ?

[surreal verge]

Yes

[crude flame]

I havent played in about 1 year-1.5 years; any major changes to be aware of before the launch happens? I can read through patch notes but

Last time I remember playing the early campaign was revamped / redone?

[last lintel]

what will happen to all my chars on launch? will they disappear?

[cedar locust]

Moved to Legacy and still playable! Cycles will need a new character, though they will be moved to Legacy at the end of each Cycle.

Currently there is no content differences between Legacy and Cycles!

[last lintel]

aight, ty

[toxic echo]

tons of changes... .9 was 11 months ago...so you missed like 2 big patches.

[sweet dragon]

Quick question regarding crafting legendries: Can you merge a 2H Exalted Sword with a 2H Unique Axe? Or even a 1H and 2H together?

[native sail]

No

It has to be the same type

1H Sword to 1H Sword

[sweet dragon]

Thanks!

[native sail]

Np

[sweet dragon]

Okay another quick one then for the road: can "Unique item" or "Unique/set X (slot)" reward Echo's drop Boss-specific uniques (such as Apathy's Maw)?

[native sail]

Nope. Boss specifics are exactly that, boss specific.

[dusky kite]

no

[native sail]

The only way to get them is to kill that boss (and I guess bazaar when that's out)

[sweet dragon]

Alright, thanks for the super quick and clear replies!

[oak rock]

Hey guys, is there an lightning arc-type build? Wanted to try a new build that involves lightning chaining through mobs

[native sail]

Lightning Blast.

Literally exactly what you are looking for

Though if you want it to do boss damage you have to remove the chaining to other enemies part and make it repeat hits against the same enemy

[oak rock]

Thank you, gonna look into it ❤️

[heady depot]

I am playing Tornado Swarmblade and it seems I should be looking for the following stats:
"Lightning/Spell Flat Damage"

I know how the Spell Flat looks like, but how will be the Lightning flat? It is not + Melee Lightning Damage, right?

[lethal mural]

is there some kind of unique ta makes volalite reversal still restore mana and health but not go back in time by that i mean going back where you were ?

[dusky kite]

• lightning spell damage although I don't think there are too many relevant sources of it

[native sail]

Nope

[lethal mural]

kk ty, i was wondering cuz thats annoying, i lose dps if im not staying at same spot for like 3 secs or so

[candid elm]

For example Voltaic Prefix on Scepters https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/prefixes/AAwFgTEA

[ruby hawk]

with 1.0 patch character will be deleted or smth? Or stash items will be deleted? Or nothing of those

[dense root]

moved to legacy cycle

still playable

[snow rune]

Is 1.0 gonna come with a league ?

[ruby hawk]

what is legacy cycle if i may ask

[snow rune]

And new mechanic? ✨😊

[native sail]

New cycle, no mechanic. Lemme grab my Mike screenshot.

[snow rune]

I mean the trade thing by itself would count as new content in my book

Im happy regardless

[kind imp]

Or just use a Focus based Lightning build.

[native sail]

I have done this, it works it just sucks to play, I will not recommend it

@pastel pebble sir VK expert is needed

[lethal mural]

i read more finally it sends to present immediately so it can be used

[oak rock]

Yeah I was looking for something really fast paced that could chain through mobs.
First build was a harvest lich and single target was awesome but I'm looking for a fast monolith runner

[native sail]

Yeah just run LB then. If you wanna deal with bosses probably just swap a few points around before you fight them.

[fallen herald]

Do crystal swords drop randomly when higher lvl?

[lethal mural]

does "dust channeller" of devouring orb, incressed cool down recovery recude cooldown of all skills like swiftneess does in anomaly, or its jsut for the deviring orb itself ? void knight

[pallid tulip]

Will the Lich Volatile Zombie build be completely nerfed 1.0?

[late mountain]

what level should I be to farm 200 corruption shades?

[dusky kite]

yes, obviously it won't drop in zones below the level of the crystal sword base, what was it, 64?

[dusky kite]

depends on your build and gear, 85-90 wouldn't be unusual but perhaps you can do it earlier

leveling gets real slow after 90-92 so it doesn't matter that much

[late mountain]

alr ty

[desert tree]

"Devouring Orb has ... a shorter cooldown"

Only applies to DO

[lusty rover]

Do the minions of "Ring of Shields" taunt to themselves?

[dawn orbit]

i have a quest i need to collect wengari bile in the wengaro fortess. When i am there after a short time the quest marker tell me to go somewhere else an when it say i neeed to go the the wengaro fortess again. I clean all monster still no wengari bile

[dusky kite]

there is one specific mob that drops it in the area north-west of the entrance to arena zone

[sinful laurel]

You likely already have it

That quest has three areas

[dusky kite]

you need to kill it and once it updates in your quest log you can safely ignore the marker

[lusty rover]

That's a very confusing quest. I found the bile at the Northend

[dawn orbit]

you mean in the fortress but in the north?

[merry ledge]

is there any solution for the constant Disconects? i cant play the story anymore. always in the middl of the quest i get a dc.

[lusty rover]

yes

[pallid tulip]

Those special modfiers from the Arcane Prison items how to get them on exalted items and then get them on legendaries?

Can the affix be shattered/removed like other items?

[dawn orbit]

should the bile in my inventory or how to see it if i have it

it still aquire the bile

[cedar locust]

Try choosing another server on the log-in screen

[toxic echo]

no, its just a quest thing.

[dawn orbit]

i am offline

[toxic echo]

if you cant turn it in, just try and go kill it again

[merry ledge]

tried it alrdy, doenst work

[cedar locust]

Do you have a VPN to test something? If so, try playing with it turned on

[surreal verge]

Craft them onto exalted items via their crafting drop, or drop an exalted one.
No, the affix shard cannot be obtained

[merry ledge]

ye i tried it with a vpn, but same issues

its the only game where i have the dc... every other game works fine

[cedar locust]

Can I ask where your playing from and who your internet service provider is?

We have been recommending a 3rd party program to some players having connection issues that has helped a fair few when a VPN or DNS change hasn't - It's called SG TCP Optimizer, as it is third party please thoroughly check what you download.

If that fails to help, the next best step is to reach out to our Support Team so they can look into your files!

[merry ledge]

playing from austria, provider is Magenta. oh yes i can try tcp, i have it alrdy installed but didnt test it

[verbal falcon]

... did I misunderstand something, or is the chest storage not accountwide? (playing offline SSF)

[storm blaze]

They should be as long as you're playing characters in same game mode

[surreal verge]

There's your problem, SSF.

[storm blaze]

oh right, SSF yeah

[verbal falcon]

I've just read that SSF was no-trade, but still shared stash with alts

[sand topaz]

sorry 3 day old player , just want to check if this loot filter will show the loot as that indicated color when the rules are fulfilled?

[surreal verge]

You're offline.
There IS no trade.
In offline, SSF is SCF

[verbal falcon]

OHHH :S

fawk

... thanks though

[surreal verge]

Hey, you at least know now

[verbal falcon]

true

and now chars are deleted.

I guess this is a lie then?`

[toxic echo]

known bug/typo

[verbal falcon]

lovely

[toxic echo]

they had SAC...and it changes to SSC and the text didnt update

[verbal falcon]

perfect game ready for soonish release 😄

[storm blaze]

Typos aren't usually the highest on the list

But will most likely be fixed on release

[toxic echo]

there hasnt been a large patch in quite some time, in prep for 1.0. instead of putting out patches for typoes. unless you wanted 1.0 in a couple more years

[verbal falcon]

well.. they wasted 2 days of mine, but I understand. Gamebreaking bugs first

[storm blaze]

Yeah, sorry to hear about the wasted time

[verbal falcon]

it is what~~ is it~~ it is.

[storm blaze]

Tbh I spent like 100 hours before the multiplayer was released
And now those characters are in offline mode with me having no intention to play them ever again

[native sail]

Me but quadruple that time

[storm blaze]

Yeah

[verbal falcon]

unless I have friends that will play LE, I have no reason for online, as I will only play SSF then... and if SSF, why not go offline for no-server lag.

or will online have other benefits?

[cedar locust]

Pretty sure this is on the 1.0 fix-list!

[storm blaze]

Well there's the trade faction

[toxic echo]

leaderboards and things like that.

[storm blaze]

Though you can just join the other one that's designed for solo play in offline mode

[verbal falcon]

perfect.. I have no need for leaderboards (I will never get on them anways) or trading. So offline it is 😄

[storm blaze]

Oh and you don't get the cosmetics in offline mode

But you probably don't really care about those either

[verbal falcon]

cosmetics are online only?

bugger

[storm blaze]

Yes

[fluid wolf]

does anyone know if the explosion of the volatile zombies counts as a hit? im specifically asking for the idol that has % minion chance to apply mark for death on hit
will the explosion of the zombie apply mark for death?

[storm blaze]

It should be a hit

[surreal verge]

It's a hit.

[fluid wolf]

fantastic, thankyou

[surreal verge]

A MINION hit, but a hit yes.

[acoustic fox]

dumb question but are you able to teleport back and forth to sell things? I just started the game and am escorting Keeper Balthus, my inventory is full and I'd like to sell but not sure if that's possible until I finish this part of the story?

[surreal verge]

You can, but it'll reset the map.
Also, items sell for shit. Picking up 100 gold is worth more than an inventory's worth of items.

[undone ravine]

I was looking around but not sure if I searched right. Will we keep our multiplayer characters when 1.0 drops?

[toxic echo]

yes, they go to legacy

[surreal verge]

Sent to standard/legacy, but yes

[undone ravine]

Thanks guys! In regards to trading, will most play new cycle or legacy? Won't be any discerning differences from what we seem to know right now

[static root]

Cycle

[toxic echo]

not sure how you expect anyone to answer what other people are going to do.

there is no difference between cycle and legacy, besdies cycle is a forced fresh start with leaderboards

[faint cape]

For trading, you are probably best off in the cycle where there's a fresh economy. In legacy, there will be a lot of people with tons of gold already.

[wide sentinel]

im confused about earlier conversation, you didnt misunderstand anything the stash is not shared between AF characters and normal characters, but all AF characters share stash between each other

[verbal falcon]

AF?

[wide sentinel]

account found characters

the box u ticked on your screenshot

or character found

[verbal falcon]

ahh.. I call it SSF 🙂

but I was playing online earlier (also SSF) and there I could share the stash between characters/alts.. so obviously I expected the same for Offline.

[wide sentinel]

ah i missed part abt offline, not sure how things work there

but if u are playing offline and want shared stash there is no point going ssf

not like u can play with anyone anyways

[rancid widget]

Are you having trouble logging in? my first time and when I try to enter a name, it says that the server is overloaded

[fading jackal]

Are the Blood Infusion/Marrow Drinker nodes from Rip Blood bugged? I notice Rip Blood can still be cast on enemies with Marrow Drinker allocated so i'm not sure if i'm actually granting the Blood Infusion buff to minions when casting Rip Blood at them.

[heady depot]

Does the level of the item affects Rune of Ascendance by any chance?

Trying to figure out if I can buy itens from the gambler to use the rune on haha

[toxic echo]

nothing matters except the base item(rings do rings, helmets do helmets)

[heady depot]

Nice, thanks!

[surreal verge]

Just to note, Blood infusion is only given via splatter, which MIGHT not hit the thing you're targetting

[cedar locust]

Can you try a different username?

[proper shoal]

If I like builds like the shadowblade rogue where it’s pretty much melee type gameplay what others classes would u guys recommend

[undone ravine]

Seems most likely yeah when you say it like that. I haven't really tried the mp part of LE so I have no reference in regards to gold, item value, crafting value etc. Thanks for the answer!

[fading jackal]

in case anyone is wondering, i think you will need to unspec Marrow Drinker to effectively buff as many minions as possible, and Blood Infusion seems to apply just fine, because there is a noticeable difference between how much minions leech before and after casting Rip Blood.

[surreal verge]

Because if you cast it on a minion, that minion is not getting buffs.
Splatter does not hit the initial rip blood target.

[fading jackal]

the more you know ⭐

[sage shale]

are minion builds any good in these game?

[toxic echo]

in Le they can be very good

[sage shale]

oki

[peak oracle]

if you had to make a Chaos bolt + Volatile zombie build, what other skills would come into it?

im trying to stay away from fissure, but it may be necessary

[lethal mural]

we cannot put healing hand from paladin tree to the "skill level" slots ? or its because im a void knight with sigil of hope already ?

[toxic echo]

it has no skill tree currently

coming 1.0

[lethal mural]

oh ok ty

[barren minnow]

Do we roundabout know the base chance of exalted item drops to put the 25% rare to exalted conversion from current rank 8 CoF into perspective? Intuitively it feels like that is an increase of at least 10x the amount of natural exalted item drops, but maybe I remember drops in endgame wrong.

[ancient plank]

when legendary crafting a 2H sword, exalted item also needs to be a 2H sword, or any 2H weapon is good?

[storm blaze]

Must be 2h sword
1h sword for 1h sword
2h axe for 2h axe
etc

[ancient plank]

sad but makes sense, thanks

[hasty tartan]

I found a 1LP well rolled Cleaver Solution last night, what kind of builds is it used in?

[verbal falcon]

just saw a "10 things I wish I knew".

I'm currently (re)leveling in campaign and thought I needed to (try to) max my resistances... but they said I only needed as much resistance as the arealevel.. is this true?

[hasty tartan]

More res will be helpful but it's not done the same way as PoE.

Enemies penetrate 1% resistance per area level up to 75%, and enemies are balanced around 0% effective resistance after penetration.

[verbal falcon]

I see.. so "max" each acts "most dangerous" element and try to get rest above area level?

[near path]

good way to think of it, yes

[barren minnow]

It depends. Getting some resistance is good, but you will have to consider the opportunity cost. If you you have the choice between being 10% off cap in all resistances and 25% more maximum life vs being res capped you're probably better off choosing the former. In PoE you'd choose the latter.

*Edited, sorry for confusion

[near path]

that kind of choice realistically doesn't happen. 70% all res is kinda huge, it's half the all-res Blessing

but yes, especially for less common damage types like poison / necrotic, not being capped at the expense of other defensive layers is fine mostly

[undone ravine]

Would take some levelling to test this, so asking here if you guys know:
For the Rogue, what happens if I combine the Recall of Umbral Blades with Shift and the Shift "Next non-channeled ability"? Will the Shift-recalled Umbral Blade trigger count as the "next ability" for Shift?

[acoustic thicket]

i got into the game and couldn't find the store. it is said that the market has arrived with the update. where is this market, I wonder?

[surreal verge]

It's in 1.0, the update is not released yet

[proper shoal]

If I like builds like the shadowblade rogue where it’s pretty much melee type gameplay what others classes would u guys recommend

[ancient plank]

void knight - void cleave if you like to group up enemys and oneshot them 😄

[proper shoal]

Sounds perfecto

[undone ravine]

I'm playing around with falconer throwing builds, and looking at the most top right 3 point node bonus, 2% more damage per slow, being max 3 stacks = 6% more damage - seems a bit little for being the cap stone passive doesn't it? And slow duration isn't really needed, since we can stack it fast enough.

[lunar cloak]

can i check skills crit rate

[undone ravine]

Perhaps better asking in #🔪┃rogue

[lethal canyon]

Does flurry count for rythem and lethal cadence?

[desert tree]

Right now you need to calculate it yourself

Hopefully one day we will get it

[desert tree]

1. Do you mind make a screenshot of the nodes?
2. Is it channeled Flurry, or regular one?

[lunar cloak]

and its capped at 100%

[desert tree]

You can go over, but it doesn't do anything

No such thing like Super Crit, or Ancestral Strike etc...

[lethal canyon]

Regular. They're the "combo" nodes that say if you attack 3 times third has a big bleed

[wicked wagon]

does armor shred from different skills stack?

[desert tree]

So yes, each strike of Flurry is a separate one. So you will procc Rythm and Lethal Cadence

[toxic echo]

all that matters is the armour shred debuff on the enemy for dmg calcs

[desert tree]

Unless you have Armor Shred Effect in your skill, they are all at - 100 armour

[lethal canyon]

Ahh that's really nice for lethal cadence than

And rythem of course

[livid bloom]

Does anyone else feel like gear progression is a bit off in end game? Currently it seems very easy to get to lets say 75% perfect gear. Finding upgrades after that point feels like it can take months just to even get to 85% perfect gear. Anyone else have a similiar experience?

[wicked wagon]

if 2 skills have armor sherd does it stack to lower armor?

[lethal canyon]

@desert tree Here's hoping falconier has some synergy with melee

[desert tree]

They are the same ailment, so they will stack together yes

[buoyant sinew]

that's quite a common critique

[candid elm]

You're putting stacking debuff on the enemy. You'll see it under their health bar. It doesn't matter where the debuff is coming from.

[desert tree]

Yep, Items Factions will be a way to smooth the curve

[buoyant sinew]

The item factions in 1.0 sound like they should both help with it though

yeah

we'll have to see just how much

[native sail]

SUrely I'll be able tun full double exalts as CoF

[candid elm]

Yeah similar experience. I just go make a new character : )

[hazy kayak]

hey friends, does the hungering souls isolation node cause all sources of extra projectiles to be wasted?

[desert tree]

I just want good T22 on good base

[desert tree]

What does the node says?

[native sail]

A girl can dream, okay?

[desert tree]

I am a simple man

[hazy kayak]

node says soul limit

[desert tree]

1 Soul, and there is no conversion for the extra soul.

So it's a waste

[candid elm]

Mm, I used it while leveling. Was ok for bosses.

[hazy kayak]

thanks dad

im doing fire conversion

[dusky cosmos]

Hello, which classes besides the void knight can deal void damage?

[trim fiber]

hi hi 🙂 will the characters reset when the game launches

[dusky cosmos]

nops

[trim fiber]

sweet

[dusky cosmos]

all of your chars will move to legacy (standard in poe)

your cicle char will also be moved to legacy after the cicle ends

[trim fiber]

alright ^^ ty for the quick respond

[dusky cosmos]

np, thats how a good community works tho

can you wear a shield?

[near path]

yes

[hidden mica]

What are some rogue, primalist, or acolyte builds that are solid for a party of three? One buddy of mine is likely going paladin and the other is likely doing some type of mage. I don't want to double up on their classes.

[dusky cosmos]

You can easily double up classes because there are so many different builds ^^

[cunning sleet]

does poison still suck?

[native sail]

Yea

[dusky cosmos]

wait for 1.0 ^^

[hidden mica]

For thematic/personal reasons I don't want to double up. I really like role delineation

[dusky cosmos]

Understood, primalist shamen will get some changes so i dont recommend it playing.

[hidden mica]

and I like the idea of if a sentinel item drops, it all goes to the sentinel, etc.

[dusky cosmos]

Acolyte & rogue will get a third sub class with 1.0

[hidden mica]

I've been keeping up with the teasers for warlock and falconer

Warlock seems doable as a debuffer, but I'm not sure what to do with it yet

Falconer tree seems blah, but smoke bomb on its own seems very cool as a support party skill

[near path]

content creators been doing a lot of theorycrafting if you're interested. Might find inspiration

[hidden mica]

I'm very very excited for falconer, personally. So I really want to make that work in a party somehow

[halcyon radish]

hello guys... there's a tier list for the classes ? if someone can share, please

[dusky cosmos]

We dont know any unqiues for these classes yet. Items will shift many things. ^^ Even if a tree doesnt look good for a party, a item can change that

[near path]

1. Corruption is getting reworked
2. Tier lists are a meme because there's no objective assessment method

[hidden mica]

I don't know too many of the good LE theorcrafters/content creators, do you have any recommendations?

[halcyon radish]

i see

[near path]

Dr3adful recently did a theorycraft vid on Warlock if you want to check

[dusky cosmos]

I am one crafting a paladin rn, but there are many good videos out there ^^

[hidden mica]

All I know is that if you talk to #🔱┃sentinel , Forge Guard is F tier.

[near path]

well yeah

[halcyon radish]

LOL

[near path]

it is

[halcyon radish]

xD

[near path]

that's not subjective, that's fact

[hidden mica]

yeah, F for Forge Guard

objective

[near path]

it is objectively the worst mastery in the game currently, but even then it's not like you can't drag it to low empowered. Honestly just play whatever you find fun

[hidden mica]

Idk, I got up to level 80 timeless monoliths just fine with ignite hammer throw forge guard and it felt fine, I just got bored with the game lol

[heady depot]

It would be nice if that logic applied to Shaman hahahhaha

Unfortunately...

[hidden mica]

Has only played a forge guard to level 73ish
Nods along

[hidden mica]

I'll check it out and send it to my buddy thinking of doing a paladin. Is it party-oriented?

[dusky cosmos]

Its meme oriented

[hidden mica]

Hmmm

How does the game scale in a party in terms of enemy difficulty?

[native sail]

Enemies get boosted health, not that bad

[hidden mica]

how much per player?

[dusky cosmos]

50% per player

[hidden mica]

Oh that's not bad at all

[acoustic thicket]

gentleman, is last epoch as complex as path of exile ? because i never got into that game because it felt like the game requires a master degree

[native sail]

No, not even close

[dusky cosmos]

not as complex like POE but 10x complexe then diablo

[buoyant sinew]

no, it's still more complex than most games but much simpler and less punishing than PoE

[heady depot]

No. It in the middle of PoE and Diablo

[hidden mica]

I think it's 70% in poe, but in poe you can really synergize between party members super hard. You can make two players do like 5x the damage of a single player at least

[dusky cosmos]

POE > LE > Diablo

[native sail]

We also have a built in guide that's actually decent

[hidden mica]

The in-game tooltips/explanations in this game are amazing

[wicked wagon]

how to increase poison damage?

[buoyant sinew]

paladin has a bunch of things that can boost party members but also doesn't have to. plenty of solo paladin builds. plenty of paladin builds where the optimal thing to do for solo play also buffs party members

[acoustic thicket]

thanks gentleman, cant wait to play it in two weeks

[dusky cosmos]

you can start now.

your char wont be deleted

there is no wipe. 🙂

[native sail]

Increased poison damage
Increased damage over time
Poison penetration

[hidden mica]

Is a cycle starting on the 21st?

[buoyant sinew]

yes

[dusky cosmos]

yes

[hidden mica]

you need to restart for the cycle, right?

[candid elm]

Yes, but it's optional if you want to make a character in that

[hidden mica]

as in, make a new char

[dusky cosmos]

yes.

[near path]

by not playing poison same as any ailment - increased damage passives, poison penetration, damage over time and then multipliers like attack / cast speed to apply more stacks and poison duration if you can get it

[hidden mica]

As a poe player I can't wait to start building up the junkyard of discarded old-leaguecycle characters

[native sail]

Thanks for the extra tidbits, Ano, I'm on mobile now

[hidden mica]

is there poison resistance shred?

[native sail]

Yeah

[hidden mica]

What are "elements" in last epoch?

[native sail]

Poison just needs help in general. It got overnerfed pretty hard.

[buoyant sinew]

fire cold lightning

[native sail]

I have no idea what kayzax is saying here tbqh

[buoyant sinew]

but you can get shred/pen for every damage type

yeah

[hidden mica]

yeah, I'm confused by this

[heady depot]

Wrong chat, lol hahaha

[hidden mica]

nice

[native sail]

That checks out

[hidden mica]

Is there a damage type that scales better in a party somehow? Like if you have multiple people applying a debuff, shredding a specific resistance, etc?

Or if there are any paladin buffs that apply to a specific damage type in particular

[wicked wagon]

not really focusing on poison more on bleed

[hidden mica]

then why are you asking about how to increase poison dps?

[native sail]

Not that I know of. Most things in terms of the like damage between types are balanced enough. Poison is the outlier for worst right now, prior to 0.9 it was objective best though.

[wicked wagon]

i do some poison dmg too i guess just get DOT increase then

[hidden mica]

Hmm, that doesn't bode well for the acid flask build I wanted to try for falconer lol

[wicked wagon]

the armor shred on flask is really helpful

[buoyant sinew]

acid flask for damage was a meme even when poison was good

[heady depot]

Well, maybe some balacing coming in the patch notes?

[native sail]

Byron

[hidden mica]

Sup

[native sail]

I promise you

Acid Flask will hurt you

Don't do it

[wicked wagon]

only using acid flask for armor shred

[hidden mica]

What if I also use it with the decoy that throws more acid flasks?

[native sail]

As the biggest fan of the skill, it is objectively awful right now

[hidden mica]

Well as someone who enjoyed forge guard, it sounds perfect to me

[heady depot]

Acid Flask Meta after patch notes, confirmed

[buoyant sinew]

at least forge guard can do things

[native sail]

Acid Flask struggles to run even 100 corruption

It's... so sad.

[hidden mica]

acid flask + decoy + smoke bomb + whatever falconer skills can add for a dope party rogue build

[heady depot]

I was really expecting to have some bow in the falconer mix. I don't know, Marksman dont click with me

[hidden mica]

I'd put money on acid flask being able to be made into acid trap or explosive trap

maybe it'll be better as a trap

I love traps in poe so I'm hella hyped

Falconer has like 1-2 bow nodes, I think

[native sail]

As someone running the squishest Soulrend trap you'll ever see, same. Shit goes hard.

[hidden mica]

standard soulrend?

[native sail]

Spiral

Big shotgun

[hidden mica]

oooh

Sounds spensive

in terms of mana

sorry, this is the LE chat

[native sail]

Just use the funny gloves to spend life

[hidden mica]

I'm a little worried falconer is going to only have 1 trap skill - net trap

and explosive/acid traps are just gonna be flavors of acid flask

[native sail]

I would honestly be surprised if AF gets touched at all in that manner

That'd need a full rework of its tree

And that's a lot rn

[heady depot]

I want old Ragnarok Falconer in LE. Bow + Minion shredding everything

[hidden mica]

The falconer tree said traps include net trap, acid trap, and explosive trap

and acid flask's tree can turn it into explosive flask

so it makes sense to me that there might be another node behind explosive flask to make it into explosive trap

[native sail]

Yeah I get that. I just don't think AF is getting a tree rework

And if it does, it's still gonna be bad

It has no damage multipliers unless they do the entire tree

[hidden mica]

Is there any news on what is/isn't getting changed/reworked for 1.0?

[buoyant sinew]

not exhaustively

[native sail]

Shaman. That's all we know definitively.

[buoyant sinew]

tempest strike is getting reworked, ice thorns is getting replaced, shaman passives...some stuff apparently

[heady depot]

Oh, but Shaman got just one skill reworked, right?

Oh, ok

[buoyant sinew]

but we also know there are balance changes in every class

just not how much or what

[hidden mica]

when do patch notes usually drop?

how far in advance, I should say

[buoyant sinew]

a day or two

[hidden mica]

neato

we get some theorycrafting time

[buoyant sinew]

I'm ready for all my warlock plans to get tossed out the window by patch notes

[hidden mica]

What are some damage types in common between mage and paladin? I was wondering if I could push my friends toward using a similar damage type so I can apply debuffs for that type as well

[dense root]

fire, lightning

lightning is a stronger damage type than fire if you need a tiebreaker

[hidden mica]

Is there anything rogue can do to shred lightning res or assist with that damage type?

I was pondering also using that warlock skill to apply death mark on command

[buoyant sinew]

yeah there are lightning rogue builds

[hidden mica]

what skills can be lightning-oriented?

[dense root]

shuriken, lethal mirage

[pulsar veldt]

can u farm glyph of hopes somehow?

[hidden mica]

I guess I should ask, are there ways you can make a lightning rogue build that also provides party utility?

[heady depot]

Glyph nodes in the Monoliths

[vagrant coyote]

yo . everybody must start with new char with 1.0 ?

[hidden mica]

no

[dense root]

if you want to play the new cycle

[hidden mica]

only if you want to play the new cycle

[dense root]

old characters will be playable in the legacy cycle

[vagrant coyote]

ok. i understand. thank u

[pulsar veldt]

what exactly is meant with new cycle and legacy cycle i dont really understand it

[dense root]

are you familiar with poe leagues?

[zenith cedar]

Where do I report a in game issue I am having? I have a vid to go with it as well.

[dense root]

if so replace the word cycle with the word league and the word legacy with the word standard

[buoyant sinew]

if you need a breakdown of which classes focus on which damage types @hidden mica:
-Primalist: Physical, Lightning, Cold, Poison
-Sentinel: Physical, Lightning, Fire, Void
-Rogue: Physical, Lightning, Fire, Poison
-Acolyte: Physical, Fire, Necrotic, Poison
-Mage: Lightning, Cold, Fire

you can do specific builds with other types though

[pulsar veldt]

No, this is my first arpg

[dense root]

hm

so every major patch there is a new cycle

when this happens the current cycle gets rolled into the legacy cycle

and if people want to play the new cycle they make a new character

old characters remain playable in the legacy environment

[hidden mica]

You cannot bring any of your old items or characters into a new cycle. You can bring cosmetics, though, I assume.

Everyone starts fresh

[heady depot]

New cycles are also known to bring some specific kind of gameplay mechanic to it, or even items and new stuff in general. It is not the case of the first one, but might happen in the future

This is one of the reasons why people usually like to play cycles

[rocky warren]

where i can find all drops from monolith? I remember there was some kind of website

[heady depot]

And overall all the excitement to do everything again in a kind of race feeling.

[dense root]

le tools

[buoyant sinew]

need to be more specific about what you want but whatever it is it will be either https://www.lastepochtools.com/ or https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/

[pulsar veldt]

so kinda like new seasons and if you want to play the new season you make a new char?

[dense root]

yes

[pulsar veldt]

Ah okay thanks now i understand it

[rocky warren]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ this is what i want, ty)

[balmy current]

You'll just have to wait & find out.

[buoyant sinew]

not very long!

[balmy current]

Has anyone actually done the maths on that or are they just reacting to the scale of the nerf?

[toxic echo]

Last i checked once you get max res shred stacks its like middle of the pack dot wise.

[heady depot]

"and stacks Melee Attack Speed to proc as many Tornadoes that cast Lightning."
Do I actually have multiple tornados (Swarmblade) casted at the same time? There is a node that says "Can no longer cast additional tornadoes", so I am either missing something or that does not makes sense

Humm, Windfury Strikes says that it casts a tornado everytime it reachs 6 stacks, so I think that I do have multiple tornados on top of me. The node from the skill itself is probably related to the previous node that gives you chance to cast one additional tornado

[leaden ice]

Is there some target farm for exalted items?

ie: i can farm this for uniques

[near path]

The dungeons have rotating rewards every 24hrs, with some mods making the enemies or the boss drop more exalted items of a particular kind

That's the best option to target farm exalteds for now

[leaden ice]

gotcha just gotta check the dungeon every day?

[near path]

Second best option is amassing gold and running Lightless Arbor for the chest reward gold sink at the end, but that's kinda random

[near path]

LEtools has a page that displays the mods of the day for each dungeon, each tier

[candid elm]

This page https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/dungeons. But outside of that, there's just the Blessings for increased drop rate for the item types you're interested in.

[crisp bane]

What's the max amount of stash tabs you can get?

[buoyant sinew]

200 but that's insanely expensive

[crisp bane]

Ah, I have like 16 in total ATM was just curious

I can only imagine it's probably in the millions near billions almost later on

[candid elm]

Yeah it reaches 1mil per tab at 106+. Total is over 189 million gold for all 200 https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/stash

[heady depot]

How to choose between Critical Strike Multiplier and Spell damage in a Spell build that has 100% crit chance? 🤔

[sinful laurel]

depends on how both look

225 crit multi and 500 flat spell, probably get some multi

[heady depot]

411% lightning damage + 265% spell damage
301% crit mult

[sinful laurel]

oh you mean % damage

if you have attribute scaling also, your % increased is probably fine

get some more multi and ofc as much flat as you can

[heady depot]

Yeah, I need to find a good one hand sword for the flat affix 😦

[sinful laurel]

or, use a wand

[heady depot]

I use the Primalist dualwield node, so only Axes and Swords in the offhand

[sinful laurel]

ah if your primalist gotcha

[lavish pawn]

That if I do a 90 monolith area that has Drop exalted items at the end does my current lvl matter at all? Just wondering since I'm 78 and not 80 yet, If its worth to wait or just run it?

[wicked plover]

just run it, item drops are based on area lvl, not yours

[candid elm]

Worst case an item that requires level 80-85 to use drops and you can't use it for a couple levels.

[edgy cape]

I have a bug where my graphic options are saying option a-c on the wiki it says to delete graphic INI file how do I do this?

[candid elm]

Hmm, I see a le_graphicsmanager.ini file in C:\Users\[username]\AppData\LocalLow\Eleventh Hour Games\Last Epoch . Not sure if that's what you're looking for?

Note that the AppData folder is hidden by default. To see it, you'll need to do Windows button -> type file explorer options and press enter -> go to View tab -> select the radio button "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" and press OK.

Another way to access that folder is to type %appdata% into the File Explorer address bar and then push the up arrow and go into the LocalLow folder to find the Eleventh Hour Games folder. That may also around appdata being hidden by default.

[acoustic thicket]

what's a good amount of stacks for armour shred on phys builds? I remember there was a diminshing returns chart for armour shred, but can't find it/idk if still accurate

[dense root]

like 80-100

roughly

[toxic echo]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/armor

still accurate

[dense root]

could be lower if getting the rest was really expensive for some reason

or higher if getting more was really cheap

but that's roughly where the returns start diminishing real hard

[acoustic thicket]

Cool, ty lads

[sinful laurel]

It is. And a thing over about 80-100 stacks starts seeing heavy diminishing

[edgy sphinx]

Do idols get cooler effects later in the game? Or are they basically just for resistance capping?

[sinful laurel]

Also not just for physical builds, just fyi

Any build that hits

[dense root]

they are not just for resistance capping

idk what effects you've seen or what counts as cool to you though

[zinc pagoda]

Hello, this may have been asked in the past, but is there currently a way to share items and gear between characters on the same account? If so, how is it done? I'm finding a lot of cool gear for other classes. Thank you!

[sinful laurel]

Put it in the stash

[candid elm]

Yes, there's an in game stash that you can access in the towns. You can purchase additional stash tabs using the in game gold you find while playing.

[zinc pagoda]

Oh great, so the stash is shared between characters?

[candid elm]

Yes within that game mode. You just can't share between different game modes - and when it launches, Cycle characters will have a separate stash

For example offline characters have a stash, online characters have a stash, etc.

[zinc pagoda]

Got it, cycle characters being the ones we're playing with now, correct? My understanding is that all characters made before release will be switched to offline mode when it launches

[candid elm]

You'll keep your current online characters online, they'll just be in a standard / legacy mode that is separate from the optional Cycle. If you decide to make a Cycle character(s), separate stash. When that Cycle ends, the characters are moved into the regular standard online mode.

Similar to something like PoE Leagues or D3 Seasons

[zinc pagoda]

Thank you for the quick response, that clarifies things a lot!

[candid elm]

You're welcome, first Cycle starts with the 1.0 launch in a couple weeks. If you're interested in making a new character for that

[acoustic thicket]

Yo! are people able to LFG on this discord?

[sinful laurel]

#👥┃lfg

Yes lol

[acoustic thicket]

Cool! I just had my first soulfire bastion key drop if anyones keen?

[sinful laurel]

Did you ask for a lfg channel just to not use it?

[edgy cape]

much appreciated

[acoustic thicket]

I did just use it @sinful laurel, I just assumed this channel would be a little more friendly than I expected lol

[sinful laurel]

It's pretty friendly

[dense root]

it's true i was voted most likely to be friendly in arpg discord community channels in high school

[molten swift]

hows the runemaster hold up in both leveling and endgame

[dense root]

runemaster is fairly strong

[sharp current]

runemaster is really strong right now, expect some balancing with 1.0 but it should still be very good.

[molten swift]

might buy the game today but unsure if i should just hold off until 1.0

[near path]

Effectively the same thing other than getting the golden guppy cosmetic

[sharp current]

Up to you, the only thing you're really missing out on between buying now and 1.0 is trade factions and 2 masteries.

[dire marsh]

might aswell play now and learn the game a little

[sharp current]

But the game is completely playable without factions at the moment, they'll just be a nice bonus once 1.0 launches.

[molten swift]

ty

[stiff nimbus]

hey guys just got the game - are the online servers pretty stable?

[sharp current]

Depends on the hour

and where you're connecting from

[molten swift]

will a cycle start on 1.0 launch or is it gonna be a while

[stiff nimbus]

US

[sharp current]

EU folks seem to struggle a bit more

[dire marsh]

idk no issues in eu

[sharp current]

I've not had any problems on the US servers

[stiff nimbus]

cool ty

[toxic echo]

1.0 is the first cycle, but there is no exclusive cycle content

[dusky kite]

You can look up all the idol effects in the loot filter in-game

[sharp current]

Yeah its hit or miss, most of the complaints about servers that I've noticed are EU players. Like most things in these situations some struggle more than others with the servers.

[sinful laurel]

There are absolutely some build enabling idol effects

[sharp current]

Like smite idols

[dense root]

smidols if you will

[dire marsh]

so.. do you get stability faster at high corruption aswell or no? the lv90 ones take ages xd

[dusky cosmos]

HC doesnt matter if you cant kill the boss 😉

HC gets increased by killing the void boss, which automaticly scales with HC too

[dire marsh]

why would you not be able to kill the bosses.. i'm just saying stability takes long

[dense root]

you get more stability at higher corruption yeah

[astral zodiac]

Sigil of hope duration represent

[dire marsh]

alright ty

[sharp current]

Going further from the center too

[dire marsh]

yeh i found that out by now

[sinful sonnet]

i just want to create an online character but nah unity faulty module kms

[pale beacon]

Hi all good day to you. Just want to ask is the Twitch drop will follow the CST TImezone or follow respective country timezone. Just to confirm. Thank you.

[toxic echo]

twitch drops are local to you

so as long as the streamer has drops turned on

[candid elm]

They're also happening twice, in case you miss one the first week https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/twitch-drops-what-you-need-to-know-for-launch/61723

[pale beacon]

thanks alot

[lunar sonnet]

Does the minion tab info not update like the Damage tab does?

I'm trying to see what my damage / attack speed / crit chance is for my minion while buffing using either a Frenzy Totem or Aspect of the Lynx, but neither seem the affect the minion tab info.

While the damage tab (character damage not minion) does seem to change.

[toxic echo]

depends on how its worded...but the character menu only shows global modifiers. if you frenzy totem says "companions" it will not show on the c menu, since its not all minions

[lunar sonnet]

all nearby allies.

[toxic echo]

hmm...wonder if there is a coding issue because a lot of the nodes says companion in the tree

[wicked plover]

on a side note, we dont have specific stats for minions currently like dps and so on

[toxic echo]

aspect of the lynx says companions in the alt text...so that wouldnt show. but i would think the frenzy should, unless its worded/coded weird

[lunar sonnet]

frenzy doesn't

it does for my damage stat in C menu. it doesn't change minion stats

I do see a visual difference in attack speed.

but I don't see a difference using Aspect of the lynx yet. (might be because i just have a to low of a crit chance to notice a difference)

[unkempt juniper]

Has anyone found more hidden areas like the bear cave at the beginning of the game?

[carmine palm]

When a skill (not sub-skills) is triggered by another skill, do the original skill non-conditional damage modifiers from its tree apply to the triggered one? I suppose the conditional ones don't

[sinful laurel]

Yes, unless explicitly stated otherwise

[carmine palm]

Thanks, and am I correct on the second statement regarding the conditional ones?

[sinful laurel]

Depends what you mean by conditional

[carmine palm]

I mean like "Per xxxx on you/enemy" and the like

[sinful laurel]

Give an actual example that you're concerned about

[carmine palm]

Dancing Strikes Majasa's Dagger node states more damage per posion stack on enemy. If I trigger Shurikens with the Windmill Ballet node, do Shurikens benefit from that node?

[sinful laurel]

Read the wording if the node

Dancing strikes deals more damage

[carmine palm]

wait the node says more melee damage so I guess it doesnt, but imagining it said more damage only

[sinful laurel]

If it gave you a buff that increased physical damage or throwing damage then sure

And it's not just the more melee damage. It's the more melee damage with dancing strikes. Very specific

[carmine palm]

so if Dancing strikes had a subskill, that node (imagining it said only more damage generic) would benefit the subskill but not other triggered skills?

[sinful laurel]

Correct, again for the most part

There are some exceptions
Unclear if they are due to bugs or not lol

Well hang on

Majasa dagger node would not. Because it specifically says, again, melee damage with dancing strikes

But nodes that say "deals more damage" should generally apply to subskills

Nuanced difference I know but

[carmine palm]

yep I see, this is a confusing topic indeed

[sinful laurel]

Eh you get used to it. You're mostly there anyways

With the general rule

Just keep in mind some subskills notably do NOT benefit from their parent trees

Two obvious ones are spark charge and shadow daggers, as they get applied by an ailment

And then fissure in smite is a bad one, which should but doesnt

[carmine palm]

Thanks, yeah I am asking after seeing Perry's video on the topic of Sub-Skills and it seems is more of a lack in consistency at this point on the game rather than a core design decision

[sinful laurel]

Yup. Most are consistent, but the inconsistent ones are kinda weird and seem like they should work. Some have been acknowledged as just bugs

[dusky cosmos]

Hello,

how does this spell work? It doesnt increase the mana cost of smite

[sinful laurel]

It doesn't say that it does

[candid elm]

There's a number of passives in Smite that work with Fissure, which you can think of as an extra spell that's being case

[sinful laurel]

Smite causes a fissure once every three seconds

Beware, it sucks lol

[candid elm]

There's a different passive, Aftershock, that does increase Smite's mana cost

[tranquil pike]

So does elemental damage increase anything that does fire, cold, OR lightning or does the spell have to do fire, cold, AND lightning?

[buoyant sinew]

any of them

[dusky cosmos]

why?

[tranquil pike]

ty

[sinful laurel]

Main reason, fissure doesn't take any of smite trees benefits

And it's inherent stats are lackluster at best

[sinful laurel]

All three are elemental, and all three benefit from elemental affixes independently

[raven loom]

First time playing aRPGs, is it expected to be in need of crafting better gear through the campaing? I am following a build guide, about lvl 57 but I feel I get destroyed by mobs. I imagined I would need to dive into crafting after I reached max, but I suppose I am wrong.

[buoyant sinew]

depending on your build and your luck you don't absolutely need to craft until about that level, but really you should be crafting from very early on. most shards are so common that you don't have to worry about running out

general thing as well, waiting until max level to do things is not something you do in any of the current arpgs. they all treat max level as a stretch goal rather than needing it to do endgame content

you can do the hard content in LE at level 90 give or take, same in PoE or D4

[raven loom]

Got you, thanks a lot

[stiff nimbus]

Why do I seem to lose map progress when I teleport back to town to sell stuff?

[buoyant sinew]

because you do, the zone resets when you leave

[stiff nimbus]

seems odd, but okay. is there a different way I should be doing things? my inventory fills up very quickly

[near path]

stop picking up random stuff and use a loot filter

[buoyant sinew]

if you're picking up things to sell, don't

[near path]

you should only be picking up either things that you can use, or things that have affixes you want via shattering

[buoyant sinew]

if you're filling up with shards, press the button to move them to crafting storage

[stiff nimbus]

ahh okay some good info here thanks

guess i need to look up some loot filters xD

[buoyant sinew]

during the story there is so little worth picking up and holding onto that your inventory shouldn't fill up once if you're playing "optimally"

[stiff nimbus]

gotcha

yeah ive literally been picking up everything

[buoyant sinew]

picking stuff up to sell isn't worth it

you get much more gold off the ground

[stiff nimbus]

right on

[rigid ivy]

Anybody know a fix to the draw bridge not coming down on the SEER Quest? I am just bugged on "FIND THE OUTCAST HIDEOUT in RISEN LAKE."

[flint yew]

click on the question mark

[molten swift]

is the deluxe or ultimate edition worth it to yall for the points and skins

like is 50 points enough for some dope skins

[river fulcrum]

no

you'd buy the pack only if you love the main content

[icy drift]

50 points is the cost of some of the cheapest items so yeah as Leo said the "value" is in the items it includes

[river fulcrum]

also current mtx in store look ass, but the points don't expire so it's ok i guess

[candid elm]

There's also currently no time line on the deluxe and ultimate going away. If you already own LE, you get the guppy pet either way. You can do those deluxe/ultimate upgrades whenever you want.

[wind oak]

can experimental affixes be shoved onto uniques with LP?

[light pilot]

can someone provide a short summary on which dungeon should be farmed for what items?

Seems all dungeons drop exalted gear?

[visual elbow]

where is the zone with a gambler of higher tiered items? LV. 50+

[buoyant sinew]

yes! Frostbite shackles with ward gain are a holy grail

[buoyant sinew]

only at the end of the soulfire bastion dungeon

[visual elbow]

so the only gambler aside from that is the Cultist camp*?

[buoyant sinew]

there are a few normal gamblers in towns but they all cap to level 40 items

[visual elbow]

aaah i see

tysm

[near path]

absolutely, but they need to not be a sealed mod in that case

[urban parcel]

is it possible to play LE one handed using only a mouse with lots of buttons or is there a lot of holding down modifier keys and such?

[buoyant sinew]

the only modifier keys are for interacting with items. Shift + right click to sell or stash items, ctrl + alt to see item affix details

in combat you just need to left click to move and press single buttons for skills

[urban parcel]

cool, thanks, I already have ctrl/shift bound to the mouse for POE so that sounds similar

[cedar comet]

Sorry, but I'm trying to get blesssing called Hunger of the Void. Currently I'm running The Black Sun, but after 3-4 boss rush, I haven't got this blessing, is there any side conditions to get this blessing ?

[buoyant sinew]

there aren't but you're doing yourself a disservice by trying to get it in normal instead of empowered

You're only seeing 3 choices instead of 4-5 (and slot 1 has a different pool to the others so can't be hunger)

and the farming you're doing to get to the boss is much less worthwhile

[candid elm]

And the regular blessing are all lower value range than the empowered blessings

[buoyant sinew]

that too

[candid elm]

even the worst roll empowered blessing will be better than the best roll regular blessing

[cedar comet]

oh, first time hearing about empowered timeline @.@

[candid elm]

Once you do the 3x level 90 timelines, it unlocked empowered. All level 100

Well do the 3x level 90s, then walk back to that little "hub" where the path branches between the three

[cedar comet]

oh, so now it's better I should be unlock Empowered timeline then try to get better blessing versions right ?

[near path]

yes

all your farming should be done only in Empowered

normal are to rush through

[cedar comet]

i see i see, ty

[fresh siren]

Hey Everyone, I just started the game recently and am having some weird FPS issues only with certain areas/enemies in the game. One is in the Keepers Vault at the beginning where the Boulders drop my fps goes from 120 straight down to 30. The same happens whenever I encounter Quillhogs in the Ulatri Highlands. I been messing with all graphic settings and nothing seems to help it at all. Are these known issues with these types of environments? I have Ryzen 5 5600x with a 6600xt and 16gb 3200mhz ram playing at 1080p. Im well above recommended specs. Also noticed when I check whats going on its like the game doesnt utilize my GPU during those times dropping to 9% while my CPU sky rockets. Its really weird.

[molten swift]

so my partner and i just started, he is gonna go void knight and im doing hydrahedron runemaster. while leveling from beginning do we just follow leveling guide then swap later like after campaign? or should we jsut follow the specific guide and put the points in as we can

had to refund for now T_T got to the first town and couldnt interact with any npc's to get quests done and stash took like 15 tries with a 5sec delay on successful attempts. i will be keeping watch and trying again after 1.0

[near path]

yeah multiplayer is bugged to hell in the 0.9.2 client

personal reco is to wait for 1.0

[molten swift]

crying T_T theres no fixes at all?

im praying 1.0 fixes it because i am ITCHING to play

[near path]

devs have said 1.0 brings a huge number of fixes to multiplayer

server stability and performance has been their primary focus for it

[molten swift]

is there any patch notes we can see for 1.0 yet

nvm just saw in the faq

[visual elbow]

anyone know any HEAVY hitting builds? like idc if its slow i wanna see huge numbers

anyone know why the little island isnt opening ive done all the 90 zones

[cinder fossil]

didn't we have a conversation about this a few days ago my man?

you need to kill the reign of dragons boss to unlock the path to the middle

kill the fall of the empire boss, and then move to the reign of dragons boss and kill that

[visual elbow]

we did sorry, i went on vacation and totally blanked

[cinder fossil]

no biggie

just clear those two monoliths and you should be good

[ancient drift]

is dragonsong still a thing?

[lost thorn]

as of this moment, yes - patchnotes may/might change that on launch

[ancient drift]

how fat can that push in mono?

[fast geyser]

Is there a way to reduce gambler's fallacy's ICD?

[lost thorn]

are you familiar with The Curse? As of .9 this was his Build Verdict on Dragonsong

[ancient drift]

where do u find that info?

i jsut came back to the game

[lost thorn]

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

[distant compass]

Is there a known bug with marking for death enemies that are off-screen?

[ancient drift]

why not throne of ambition?

[worldly kiln]

Hello. I'm lvl 71 at the moment and feel a bit struck at Fall of the empire monolith. Should I go back and farm in the lower lvl monolith ?

another question, is there any good build that doesn't require respec ? i can't decide what to play in 1.0 yet

[storm blaze]

How would we know if there's a good build for you without a respec when we don't know what you're playing

[worldly kiln]

it could be any classes please

[storm blaze]

We also don't know what all changes are coming in 1.0 to uniques and possible changes to skills / trees
So something that's strong now could end up being worse than it is currently
and something not that good could end up being actually decent or strong even

So just pick something you like
there are plenty of guides and they should still be relevant

[worldly kiln]

thank you

[lost wraith]

does this mean that it casts lighting blast or just lightning?

[desert tree]

It casts Mana Arc

[edgy sphinx]

Mana Arc that does lightning dmg......?

[desert tree]

Yep

But Mana Arc =/= Lightning Blast

When there is smth underlined, you can press alt and it will show you the tooltip

[edgy sphinx]

I figured that but I can definitely see how that could confuse people since it says 'casts lightning' rather than 'casts Mana Arc'.

[surreal verge]

No

[robust tundra]

I'm a little bit lost with MaxRoll gear progression inside builds. They ask you to work on your empowered blessings while you look for good T20 rares. However, by the time I reached empowered mono, I was already drowning in exalteds. Anyone had the same experience or I'm just slow with mono progression?

[surreal verge]

Exalted=/= useful exalteds.

[wide sentinel]

yep just because they drop doesnt mean they will be better than t20 rares with bis affixes, you have to use some brain there and compare if they actually worth equipping over bis rares

from my experience maybe u get 1-2 good exalts, but definetly not even half of inventory but tbf i reach empowered monos even before the level needed for top tier bases

[dusky kite]

no, no stats interact with the internal cooldowns on passives or items. Cooldown reduction only affects skills on your hotbar

[craggy bronze]

isnt it better to have the 35% less damage of time taken stat? guess im confused as to why its the first number in the stat

[buoyant sinew]

35 is better. guessing because this is what happens in PoE, it's actually "-35% to -15% more damage taken" and -35 is smaller so appears first

[craggy bronze]

gotcha thanks

[deft jacinth]

Helllo All ive had this game for a while. lately ive been working on a mage. primarily lightning. I dont ever look at builds or any websites just fyi. Im having trouble with my Mage. He just doesnt do the same amount of damage in raw spell power vs melee or for example my same lvl forge guard character. Any ideas? im staking a lot of sp, intel, lightning and still feels so weak with mobs with a lot of hp.. not looking for build ideas just and understanding of why lightning sp is so weak

[safe harness]

what is sp?

[gaunt vale]

^

[safe harness]

Oh, spell power

It’s possible to specialize lightning blast in a way that is better vs groups of enemies or single target which might be why it feels lackluster vs high health enemies

[deft jacinth]

yeah i think thats my problem..

[quartz blaze]

one punch paladin has the highest single hit

good gear you can one shot bosses on 300c

and it's clunky so perfect for what you asked for

[native sail]

Shattering gives shards between 0 and the tier of the affix

[grand fog]

Does more damage in any skill's tree apply to all damage types you add to the skill or only to the ones stated in the scaling tags?

[steel merlin]

if the more line doesnt specify damage type, all

[gentle stratus]

hey, im playing flame wraith, and i wonder, do i prioritize minion damage, minion spell damage, or necrotic damage?

[native sail]

Minion spell

And minion crit on helm/body/idols

[gentle stratus]

But does minion damage still work on them?

[native sail]

Yea

[gentle stratus]

alright, thanks

[native sail]

Minion spell is just higher

[gentle stratus]

great, just dropped a axe with t6 minion spell damage and i didn't knew if i should use it ^^

[native sail]

Eventually you'll transition into an Aberrant Call with minion spell damage slammed on it. That's objectively the BiS weapon for that build.

[grand fog]

The bis weapon for my minion build is literally a dagger

[gentle stratus]

Yea I've seen it on maxroll, but im just on my 2nd echo or what is called

so this works until i get that, i guess

[native sail]

Gotcha. Yeah no worries, just use what you can til you're safe to go for that.

[gentle stratus]

thanks for the help

[hollow root]

If a player character (offline) is lost during a power outage is there a known method for retrieval? (the character doesn't show up on character select, but I dunno if maybe I could use steam cloud to get the character back or if maybe there was another method)

[native sail]

Steam cloud may have it

[hollow root]

is it easy to download the character back from Steam cloud?
as I never had to load a character from it before

[native sail]

Should be. I'm not an expert. I'm sure there's something online for it though.

[desert tree]

1st try verify your files

[hollow root]

still gone after verifying

I found the saves in steam cloud, and downloaded them, but I dunno where they go back to?

[hollow root]

is there a link to that so I can copy paste?

[desert tree]

[STEAM_GAME_FOLDER]/steamapps/userdata/[STEAM_USER_ID]/899770/ac/

[proven sundial]

Anyone can tell me what the item rarity ranking is and how rare unique itemdrops are?

[surreal verge]

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

[desert tree]

Did you manage ?

[hollow root]

no it seems that just pasting the saves from the steam cloud didn't work

[proven sundial]

Cool thanks

[hollow root]

and now I can't even play offline mode

[gaunt vale]

LETools says if I wanna target farm a unique, I gotta go for Unique or Set Sword or Dagger" echo rewards, but going for set item... only drops set yeah? Doesn't sound like its helping for my unique drop?

[balmy pulsar]

hello i dont suppose anyone is free for a chat in epoch chat 2 im struggling with setting up a loot filter and wondering if i could get some advice or pointers on how to do them properly willing to screen share

[surreal verge]

The node itself is "Unique or set X"

It can drop a set or a unique

[gaunt vale]

o i see the difference

got it, ty

[devout zenith]

can someone tell me if necromance is basically solo leveling 😄

[hollow root]

if you are referring to the anime and/or manga, then no

[surreal verge]

I have no idea what you're asking

[devout zenith]

yeah was refering to solo leveling webtoon

[severe fjord]

nani

[devout zenith]

do i just press a rise button and all the corpses are mine or i can't, only summon my own dead things ?

[pliant kite]

So are there options for visual assistance in this?
I was enjoying this extremely, like more than most games I have played in a very long time, right up until I got to the Lagon fight in the third whisper. In phase three with all the lightning, and waves, and the white slam circles and stuff; it was just a blur of grey. I have a mild visual disability which for most stuff isn't a problem, but I got to that and in that phase it was just white noise on screen.
As an older gamer, I knew I wouldn't be pushing top level content, but is it going to be that the entire end game is completely locked out for anyone with any form of visual disability because you are 100% expected to be able to see and react perfectly?
Is this another game that should have come with a "If you are suffering from any negative effects of a disability or age, this game has been specifically designed to prevent you from being able to engage with a large portion of it's content."

[gaunt vale]

no.

long and short of it

lagon is pretty a pretty

like everything everywhere fight

probably the later heorot too will mess with you

but generally if you are impaired, either go a tankier build so you can have some leeway

or try ur best

you can go through the settings personally to see if theres anything that helps you

think the only thing may be brightness and screen shake

[pliant kite]

I am playing a tanky built, resistances close to cap. Been working on armor and stuff like that, not stopping me dying in P3 because I can't see anything... it's just noise. It's the visual equivalent of trying to talk to someone in a night club.

[surreal verge]

Health?

[pliant kite]

I will just re-run the earlier two Echoes a few more times and try to get levels, and give up on ever being able to do L100 content.
Thanks

[gaunt vale]

can always ask for a carry whenever it comes to a boss u feel that ur impairment cant overcome

if you havent had any issues with other bosses

you should be fine

[native sail]

Ah... resists are the bare minimum defense

[gaunt vale]

but yeah. Health, Crit Strike Avoidance, Endurance,

armor avoid reductions etc

lots more than just resists to take into account

but again if you've been going fine and its only lagon thats been giving you trouble

[hollow root]

I would suggest playing a summoner type build, so that way you can focus on just avoiding enemies and buffing your minions
the Primalist and the Necromancer are good classes for this

[gaunt vale]

he's generally one of the top pains in the ass anyway

[pliant kite]

I have been working on all of those as well, but I will probably need to give up on the "fun" build, or get a carry.
Thanks
I know there is more than resists, I will probably need to just run lower level content and try to get a set of gear just for this fight.
I am doing everything up to the boss without even getting close to being scratched, it's just I can't see the mechanics to avoid them.
It seems like another game where the developers are ignoring the concept of "I am going to get old one day too"

[dusky kite]

ngl even as a non-visually impaired person the particle effects covering the screen make it hard to see things if not most of the time then at least a good amount of the time, especially with some builds. There should absolutely be settings to tone down the amount of visual clutter, like scale sliders for individual particles or something.

[hollow root]

does setting the graphics to low do nothing to help?

[pliant kite]

I am playing a druid, and loving it; but it's just I can't avoid the damage, because I can't see what is going on.
It's fine, I will try to figure it out.
Thanks everyone, I appreciate the feedback.

[gaunt vale]

no need to go back

[dusky kite]

not in any meaningful way, no
