[wind oak]

the goal would be (in theory) that you'd have the same % of success, but if you lose you only lose the exalted item and not the unique

oh shit I didn't know that

exalteds don't have to have 4 mods per se right, just for slamming?

[crimson crag]

can you shatter a 2h into your merophage more than once to change the stats it took from the previous 2h?

[brave path]

yah so like you kinda lose the unique in the sense that you could get crap stats and need to refarm an LP unique

[wind oak]

like you can have a 2 affix item that's exalted cuz it's T7 + t3 say

[brave path]

yes

[wind oak]

still, strictly better than a 0 LP unique I guess

but maybe only barely

hehe

[brave path]

also be careful with this, if you are shattering 2hs for affix shards to collect and merophage is equipped, it will replace

[brave path]

i mean yah either way its better than no stats lol

do not think so sadly...i do it a lot too haha

[crimson crag]

does it replace everytime or just has a chance?

[brave path]

every time if you are shattering a 2h sword with it equipped

so take it off before you shatter if you dont want to replace stuff

[light pilot]

is there any point in doing higher bastion dungeon tier, if i only want rings/amulets?

at face value the tiers only increase chest/boots ?

[royal hinge]

Is this a bug? I feel like I'm not understanding this properly. Is Merophage a unique two handed weapon? Now, say it has 2 LP and has already been through the Temporal Sanctum, you're saying that if I have it equipped and go into crafting and shatter an exalted 2H weapon, it will replace the affixes on the Merophage without using Temporal Sanctums crafting mechanic?

[brave path]

it can't have LP at all

you get "LP" by shattering 2h swords while this is equipped

so it doesnt take the stats directly from the item like smashing in the sanctum would

but is based on the shards you would receive from normal shattering

[royal hinge]

Ohhh, interesting. Never seen that item.

[brave path]

yah it only comes from that exiled mage...ive killed tons of them but only got one

[royal hinge]

Things like this keep impressing me

[brave path]

heres the full sword

it is actually kinda nice imo

[faint cape]

Merophage is the only legendary that can have 5 affixes on it, kinda neat

[royal hinge]

I need this weapon on my lich

[faint cape]

since its affixes are based on the shards you get, and sealed affixes still give shards like normal

[brave path]

ok see i didnt realized that sealed affixes still gave shards

that is pretty cool

[royal hinge]

As long as it's not experimental I imagine

[brave path]

but lets be honest...getting all 5 is gonna be rare as hell xD

[faint cape]

getting T4+5+6 prefixes would be real neat though lol

[neon mica]

does anyone know how to improve chances of finding higher LP uniques? does it scale with corruption?

[brave path]

yah haha...getting that would be nice...i always end up with like 1-3 of like 2 MAYBE 3 stats

[faint cape]

Be in a level 100 area, then just find more uniques by upping item rarity (usually through corruption)

[brave path]

just noticed this...it might get the personalized if you find a 2h sword with personalized affixes? i dont think there are experimental weapons?

[faint cape]

Neither personal nor experimental give shards when shattered (well, technically there's a bug where you can get exp shards, but those aren't on weapons anyway)

[brave path]

oh im thinking like sealing...thats right

tbh i just kinda ignore all of those types of items anymore xD

[peak oracle]

so hum... wtf is the formula for mana costs?

[cedar comet]

crazy, cursed blessing, 2 days in a row It still doesn't appear

[peak oracle]

unless that node is bugged, the zombies costed 1 more mana instead of 4 (since i have 60% efficiency)

[faint cape]

It follows the same formula as most stuff, combine added/subtracted stats first, then apply % based stuff. Divide by mana efficiency.

[peak oracle]

alright so thats what i did, yet the mana cost i get in my math V in game is vastly different

[safe harness]

Mana cost / (1 + mana efficiency)

[peak oracle]

yeah alright thats what i did and it wasnt working on my google sheets

i think i fixed it tho

[wind oak]

aside from the level requirement for slammable uniques, is there any benefit/rate difference between different tiers of Temporal Sanctum?

[muted geyser]

Anyone wanna run lvl 70 monos with me?

[peak oracle]

#👥┃lfg

[brave path]

just doing a quick google search im not finding anything outside the lvl reqs

[faint cape]

Nope, no difference

[wind oak]

danke

[kindred wagon]

Where do I find throwing attacks critical strike chance? Am I right, that melee damage does not scale throwing damage in any way?

Also, how does phys damage affects damage? Does it affect local damage of the axe as in Path of Exile, or it affect global %inc phys damage?

[near path]

Your weapon is a stat stick in this game. Whatever affixes you see on the weapon apply globally

Implicits and explicits both

[near path]

Unfortunately stat sheet doesn't have throwing crit. Upload your character on LETools, it'll give you a better idea. And you're correct about melee and throwing

[open sierra]

Is there anything I am missing to get the Shard of the Shattered Lance item drop? I got 6 Fragments of the Shattered Lance now back to back (according to LETools this would be 1.5% chance)

[faint cape]

It happens that way sometimes. Rng be random.

[safe harness]

Higher tier temporal sanctum are higher zone level. It’s only possible to get t7 exalted from t4 or t3 julra

[silver rover]

Can you still play pure ssf

Or are you forced to play the pseudo ssf

where 4 man slaving is optimal :\

I watched the new Trade & Item Factions video and it's not clear if ssf is being removed entirely or not

[brave path]

CoF is SSF essentially

[silver rover]

No it's an always be behind on loot to the people running 4 man mode

Which defeats the entire purpose of ssf

[brave path]

???

SSF is what you do...choosing the CoF faction just makes SSF better

like

[silver rover]

Yes and I'm asking if theres an actual ssf option in character creation anymore

[leaden ice]

How do i know if the item i want can be ascended?

I believe some uniques cant be rolled with the rune right?

[brave path]

dont think that is changing? and even if they removed that option in creation...you can still do SSF

lol

[brave path]

(for the most part)

i guess the affix shards/gold

will fuck that a bit

[silver rover]

Self enforced SSF when other people are 4 manning in CoF will not feel good hence I'm asking

[sharp current]

Why are you so concerned with the 4 man groups?

[silver rover]

Because I feel obligated to run in a 4 man group if its optimal

[brave path]

boss only drops are what cant be ascended to

[silver rover]

And that's counter to what I want from an arpg

[leaden ice]

like this one?

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAwVg7ATAjALEA

[brave path]

yah

[leaden ice]

fuck

tyvm

[brave path]

xD np

[flint yew]

how is it optimal

[brave path]

tbf he isnt too bad

[silver rover]

Because you can still get the full CoF benefits while also being able to trade within your 4 man??

[buoyant sinew]

@silver roverthere is still proper ssf. <#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message>

[silver rover]

🙏 thank you

[vale thistle]

frankly the benefits to playing in a group have way more to do with the effective power of said group, not so much the minimal amount of gifting/trading/whatever a CoF 4 man will be doing; and regardless, nothing is changing about the existing challenge modes or character flags

[surreal verge]

CoF is seperate from SSF.

[vale thistle]

if you want to continue playing a Deathless Solo, Solo Account Found, Masochist character; nothing is stopping you

[surreal verge]

CoF is:You give up trade for better drops.

SSF still exists if you turn it on

[flint yew]

im not seeing it, if you mean getting specific gear a MG user can just do that

[vale thistle]

CoF and MG are just factions you join, completely unrelated to the existing stuff

[tidal yarrow]

Is there a trick to force respawn? Numerous times when I've died in a boss fight as beastmaster my minions show the death timer and then timeout and the game just sits there.

[silver rover]

Yeah that makes sense it just wasn't clear from the video if these factions were meant to replace the entire ssf system or not

Thanks for clarifying guys

[brave path]

cant resummon? havent played a BM myself

[buoyant sinew]

I think you've misunderstood the UI @tidal yarrow, the timer is not just a timer. if you stand on the companion's corpse it starts ticking back up and when it's full they respawn

whereas if you let them time out they just vanish and you have to use the skill to resummon them

[tidal yarrow]

I'm dead so cant so anything but it doesn't recognize that I'm dead, therefore I have to quit the game.

[brave path]

got a SS?

also do bug report if you can

[tidal yarrow]

Yeah did the bug report a couple times. Was hoping there was a trick as it happened on the Lagon fight and now I have to re-run 3 maps to get back there, heh.

[brave path]

so like you die and you get no "release" option?

[tidal yarrow]

Correct

I know the obvious solution is to not die but I'm pretty bad haha

[brave path]

take a SS if it happens again...also can you dismiss your BM companions? like can you right click their icon or anything?

(normally)

[visual elbow]

can anyone tell me why i cant get to empowered monolith island?

[young flint]

is the new trading/crafting update available in the offline version of the game or is that just for online characters?

[surreal verge]

Did you clear reign of dragons?

[visual elbow]

yes

all clear

clear path

[surreal verge]

Yes, but you have no one to trade with.jpeg, so choose CoF

[sharp current]

Run a mono and then try to cross

[young flint]

oh yeah i figured i just wanted to try out the crafting. ty!

[sharp current]

Any of the top 3

[deep vine]

any reason why Icant use eternity cache? having trouble googling for answer. I completed a tier 2 version of the sanctum

[surreal verge]

Swap eras

[deep vine]

I'm sorry. I don't understand what you mean

[surreal verge]

You know the special button you press to change time?

[deep vine]

Oh

my god haha

lol okay. I already left but that's good to know

thanks a lot

tysm @surreal verge

[surreal verge]

[visual elbow]

(sorry to bother) but to my knowledge

LP = a roll added to an item from another item

and to do this i have to complete sanctum and bring the 2 items there?

[surreal verge]

Yes

[brave path]

more specifically LP only rolls on Uniques and you need an exalted item with 4 affixes to smash together

[visual elbow]

it has to be 4 affixes?

[brave path]

yup

[vocal plank]

If I am looking for a set item from a particular dungeon, can I still get it from an ascendence

[surreal verge]

No

[vocal plank]

Damn that's what I thought too

[surreal verge]

Yes, and a sealed affix doesn't count as part of the 4 affixes

[long plover]

Can you delete stash tabs?

[sharp current]

No, you can delete a category but not a tab.

[kindred wagon]

Is there a sheet for block effectiveness/area level? What optimal amount of block eff?

[pliant marlin]

I have 693% increased minion health but still my skeleton archers end up dying sometimes... annoying. Are they generally not that useful post-campaign? Or how much health I should aim for? They also leech with Reach of the Grave unique wand

current setup is 2x fire golem, flame wraiths, fire archers, fire mages and rip blood for small sustain and buffs

any idea what would be a good replacement for the archers? or how to keep them alive more lol

I was thinking of trying the exploding zombies since they have some resistance reducing thing aswell but I'm already kinda "busy" summoning wraiths

[toxic echo]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/block

[surreal verge]

Yeah, they're basically fodder, and health isn't enough

[gaunt vale]

how do u change server? Joined someone in multiplayer and got put into there.
Is the only way to exit to chara screen?

[wicked plover]

you mean how do you change/leave your shared instance?

[gaunt vale]

That works too

[wicked plover]

just leave group and change maps

you'll get your own instance

[gaunt vale]

Ah it kept me in their region though.
Did an echo with them, put me in EUW, finished echo, left them and went to another echo and i was still in EUW

[wicked plover]

oh if you mean your login server then you probably would need to relog
not 100% how that works, game should assign you automatically to the best connection

[gaunt vale]

Yeah I just ended up reloggin.

Thanks though, appreciate it

[edgy aspen]

Hi, I recently bought the game but been having some weird issues been getting lost connection to game server or something like that. Which is quite annoying since my internet is 100% stable. Are there any fixes to this?

[wicked plover]

change login server and see if it solves your issue

[gaunt vale]

Break it down for us. Whats your ping? Whats your ISP? What region are you logging into?

[sterile pumice]

idk where the Time Rift is

[edgy aspen]

EU West 60ms

at least in the log-in screen choice

[wicked plover]

go to the left and take the stairs up

[wicked plover]

best ping shown isnt always the most stable connection, weirdly enough, try a different login server even if it shows higher ping

[edgy aspen]

hmmm ok will try!

Changed from mobile to wifi, seems so far stable hasn't kicked me out at least yet.

[gaunt vale]

u were playin with mobile data?

[edgy aspen]

yes, because I get extremely stable results on it especially in games where it matters so I prefer usually to use it

[gaunt vale]

If it works it works

[dusky kite]

summon skeletons is a bit underpowered yeah. However all minions will die from time to time especially if you don't micro them away from boss aoe and stuff (or into boss aoe if it's a retal bear.. but anyways).

[dusky kite]

judging by the screenshot's background, you are in it. Go find the elder upstairs

[bleak vine]

@dusky kite , so we were discussing adaptive damage and conversion

I take from what you said, that the added damage if adaptive, it will count as only type matching the skill tag?

What about skills with multi tags?

[steel merlin]

If I recall correctly, split in whatever split their base damage has

[dusky kite]

It will be added proportionally to the damage split on the skill

base damage*

[carmine wind]

Is it possible to upgrade from Deluxe edition to Ultimate edition without paying the full price?

[dusky kite]

it should be possible but last time I checked people complained that the total price of base edition + upgrade was more than the ultimate edition as a standalone, which was caused by some issue with steam pricing

check it for yourself

[carmine wind]

I am asking for from Deluxe to Ultimate not Standard to others.

[bleak vine]

So in Avalanche where it have 30 Phy, 30 Cold, and 10 lightning (from Storm Slide), if you add 7 adaptive damage, you get 3 phy, 3 cold, and 1 lightning?

[surreal verge]

Not right now.

[dusky kite]

ava.. wait what? But yeah that's what should be happening

[surreal verge]

Storm slide does not add the tag, so no lightning

It'll be 3.5 phy 3.5 cold

[bleak vine]

It add "base damage"

[surreal verge]

But does not add the damage type tag.
Adaptive damage only checks tags.

[blazing vault]

Is attack speed on weapon like global multiplier, or it's same as other sources of attack speed that are additive?

[dusky kite]

weapon base is a global multiplier

[blazing vault]

i mean not base attack speed, jsut affix that give attack speed

[dusky kite]

attack speed on affixes works the same as from other effects

weapon slot gets no special treatment or anything

[blazing vault]

ok

[bleak vine]

What about nodes that add tags, but not base damage?

Like Storm Caller Reprisal on Summon Wolf? It add a lightning skill to the wolf. So now any adaptive damage to minions would add base lightning damage to all wolf's attacks? Or only to the lightning skill it uses?

So minions doesn't have adaptive damage to begin with?

[surreal verge]

It adds the lightning skill BUT the normal wolf attacks are still physical, and thus physical

[bleak vine]

That makes a lot of sense

[surreal verge]

This is the key line, Tag adding OR replacing

[topaz plaza]

Hi guys, what filter affix do i do to target the first half of smth like this? i found i can use 'of life' for the bottom two, but not sure for the top?

[blazing vault]

i think they base attack get physical damage from adaptive sources, and lightin skill get addtional lighting with including Added Damage Effectiveness: 120% for lightning skill

[surreal verge]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/prefixes/AMwdgDEA
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/prefixes/AKwBmQ

[topaz plaza]

ty man

[bleak vine]

Yeah, that's why trying to calc dps for minions is a very tough task.

With some effort one can make a spreadsheet for say Frost Claw dps. But for minions? Omg

[dusky kite]

it surely isn't easy but if there is enough demand, a simulator for LE will be written

after all the game already manages to calculate that and all the formulas are known, purely an engineering problem

[surreal verge]

ANd also, minions only have generic minion damage, melee, or spell damage affixes anyway-

So it's not really that hard since MOST of the time damage type doesn't matter

[dusky kite]

except for things like uniques and passives of course

and idols

and class specific affixes

[buoyant sinew]

surely more of a willpower problem, it's not like anything is technically challenging

[glacial drift]

Hey guys new player here, how often should I gamble for weapons while levelling ?

[toxic echo]

Pretty much never. Gambler doesnt really do anything better than world drops. And he caps at ilvl 40 items and rares

[glacial drift]

Thanks, also should I be saving up gold for endgame, or is there any other resource I should be saving?

[dense root]

not really

you’ll want gold and crafting materials in the end game but the amounts of both you get in the campaign is pretty meaningless compared to what you’ll get later on

just use your resources now if you think you have a good use for them

[toxic echo]

Gold is pretty much it. Use the crafting mats you find to make gear as you go. Only really need to save rare stuff like despair glyphs, +skill shards, hybrid health shards

[glacial drift]

Okay also not sure when I should craft and what I should prioritise when crafting

I'm playing mage gonna spec into spellblade

[dense root]

very generally you want a lot of health on your armor

endurance %, critical strike avoidance, armor, and resists are all also useful

on weapons it varies a bit but you typically want flat damage + flat crit for melee attacks or cast speed + increased damage for spells

but that’s just like a general rule of thumb there are exceptions

(there are also other attack types but a spellblade will almost certainly be melee or spell based)

[toxic echo]

Craft when you start taking lots of dmg, or need to do more dmg.

As days said, health, res, and maybe ward since you are a mage should be pretty high, and crit avoid once you start into monoliths. Dmg stuff is just whatever you need to scale your skills, w.e they are

[glacial drift]

Great cheers guys, thanks for the info

[lethal mural]

what rune do i need to use to reroll the affixes current value to a better roll, it seems there 2 runes that or sort of, do it i dont wanan na change th affxies by accident

[wicked plover]

the blue one is for implicit, so the other one for affix values

think it was yellowish?

[lethal mural]

what is implicit ?

[wicked plover]

implicits are the stats associated with the base item

you see them at the very top of the item

[lethal mural]

oh ok ty

[sly brook]

is it possible to progress through the campaign without picking a mastery?

[dense root]

not in offline

in online you can if you have someone skip you to a waypoint that’s past the mastery selection

the cultist camp is going to be the best choice there if you want to do as much of the story as possible without selecting a mastery

the game should just pick the story back up as soon as you interact with a story relevant npc

or a story relevant item i think

[junior field]

When playing a low life build with ward. Why do I loose ward when I leech health or use a potion?

[wicked plover]

because the low hp ward items give you ward/second depending on your missing health

so if you have less missing health, you have less ward per second

[dense root]

are you using exsanguinous and last steps?

[wicked plover]

hence your ward decays

[dense root]

leech reduces the ward per second from those yeah

[junior field]

Ah, that makes sense. I was reading it wrong

[dense root]

and since ward has inherent decay if you have less ward per second your total ward goes down

[junior field]

thanks

[polar edge]

when a talent increases a duration by X amount without specifying that it's in seconds like certain talents do, what does it mean?

examples i'm referring to are enchant weapon's "concentration" and volatile's reversal's "ancient reversal." from testing it, +2 doesn't seem like it's 2 seconds.

[toxic echo]

So for enchant weapon...base is 5 seconds. So, +1 from concentration would be 6 seconds. However just to be clear, this doesnt effect the cooldown at all. So it would be with all concentration nodes 9 seconds of up time and 6 seconds off waiting for cooldown.

VR is a little harder, since its sending you back in time, but with the base of two seconds maxxing ancient would be sending you back 4 seconds...but thats much harder to time out esp in combat

[polar edge]

thanks. so +1 does mean 1 second. using a stopwatch was more accurate than counting in my head lol.

[wicked plover]

a bit curious why tooltip wouldnt specify units, normaly descriptions for these kind of things are very specific

[lethal mural]

i think i got something like +1 sentinal ring or something shard but im not finding it on in crafting menu

[wicked plover]

you mean the shields that rotate around you?

[lethal mural]

i mean how do you apply uncommon shard or something i cant fidn them in the crafting menu

[wicked plover]

you cant have +skills on every item slot

[hardy spoke]

guys, any rusted cleaver is OK to use a rune of ascendance to try to get the cleaver solution?

[wicked plover]

they are specific to chest piece, helmet or relic

[wicked plover]

only thing you need to have is the base item

so any 1handed axe will do

[lethal mural]

kk ill check on those

[brisk valve]

i got a few newbie questions around monoliths:

• can you corrupt a monolith only once? or can i 'stack' corruption?
• does corruption affect the quest echos as well outside of the corrupted mods i get?
• is fully filling the stability bar making a difference to quest echo loot?

amazing game! very happy i gave it a second chance. thx in advance for the help.

[gaunt vale]

You can stack corruption.

Pretty sure the only thing stability does is for the side quests?

As for corrupt affecting echos, no idea

Doesn't feel like it should

[brisk valve]

cool. thx for the feedback. it seemed to me too it only is for unlocking the quests. but wasnt sure

[native sail]

Corruption stacks infinitely in empowered (capped at 50 in normals)
Yes it affects quest echos
No stability doesn't matter for loot

[gaunt vale]

Will there be any difference between 1.0 league and current standard league?

[faint cape]

No difference between 1.0 cycle and 1.0 legacy

[gaunt vale]

Solid

[faint cape]

well, not entirely true I guess, technically there's a leaderboard for the cycle, but very few people care about that unless they expand it at 1.0 also to not just be arena lol

[fallen herald]

Is there a list of like build-defining uniques?
Curious to see if I’ve got any big ones for certain builds

[gaunt vale]

Lastepochtools (website) has all the uniques

[wicked plover]

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

[brave path]

Look up all the builds and cross reference the uniques with what you have

Done

XD

[fallen herald]

Yep @brave path kinda was hoping some1 had a list like that already xD

[brave path]

Honestly I always recommend people hold onto all their uniques early on until they get a better grasp on like what builds they may want to play...then sell/discard/adjust from there

I'm also an alt-o-holic lol

[fallen herald]

Yea, and multiple of the same unique just keep the higher rolled one (unless LP ofc)?

[candid elm]

Stash tabs are inexpensive. Just save one of each if you're worried about it

[sacred oyster]

Hi all, with the 21st being the first cycle will it be separate from standard/SC? Like a fresh start or will it be the same as the current standard system?

[brave path]

It will be a fresh start if you want to play within the cycle...or you play on the standard league

Both are getting the content

[candid elm]

Yeah that's what I do. Keep the high roll. Have another couple tabs with the LPs. Although you don't need to keep every single LP one.

[sacred oyster]

Ooooh awesome thank you

[brave path]

Tbh I've just horded everything because I've used the same item for multiple characters a lot...so just gives you that freedom...when you consolidate then yah typically just the best 1 or 2 of each item as needed for builds...typically with LP

[faint cape]

Yeah, that's what I do. I also keep doubles of rings and dual-wieldable weapons. Sometimes uniques support more than one build, and I might keep dupes with different maxed rolls until I find one that's all maxed (or nearly)

[brave path]

Good example...bleeding heart...I use that thing on like 5 characters hahahaha

[fallen herald]

Thank you guys

[brave path]

🙂

[cursive delta]

How do i unlock the other 2 slots of stats from echos?

I can only choose 1 from 3 but there's other 2 locked

[dense root]

it’s based on corruption

you get all five slots to choose from at 200 corruption

[native sail]

^

Slot 4 is open as soon as you're in empowered

[cursive delta]

Uhm i see, sorry for asking but what is that corruption XD?

[dense root]

difficulty scaling mechanic

[severe fjord]

the more corrupt your country's government is the more advantages you get in the game.

[dense root]

it will become relevant later on

don’t worry about it until after you beat the final three monoliths

[cursive delta]

Then i should be fulled legendary by now

[severe fjord]

Mine created an out of bounds error

[cursive delta]

😂

[mild pewter]

I need lvl'up the all monolith to 200 corruption to open all blassed nodes? sry my inglish, is very Rust

[native sail]

Yes

[candid elm]

You always only can select one each time you kill the boss. Regular is 3 choices. Empowered is 4 choices. Over 200 corruption is 5 choices.

So you're just getting extra drop chances, basically.

[mild pewter]

I understand, thank you very much, I had this question a few days ago, in fact I never stopped to actually play the endgame, despite having 250 hours of play!

[candid elm]

As long as you're having a good time! Some people like to spend a lot of time on one character. Other people like to make a lot of different characters.

[topaz plaza]

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

Can something like proc from a rune of ascendence forge, or is it only from a boss drop?

[native sail]

Boss drops can't be made from ascends

[lofty path]

Are you guys missing "dash" funcion in the game? as D4 player also Grim dawn added this, i found myself pressing space, you get quick dash with cooldown so you can evade mobs/bosses also its kind of speed boost for clearing levels where there is no enemys close...

[topaz plaza]

Bollocks, ive used about 5 so far before thinking to ask

https://tenor.com/view/bang-head-gif-14620899

[native sail]

There is no "dash" no. That's intentional. They tried it, they didn't like it.

Just spec a movement skill.

[mild pewter]

I only have 2 characters, a lvl 96 and my current lvl 97, I like to maximize the character as best as possible, creating several irritates me, not to mention that you will never make the final content decently if you keep creating several builds!

[lofty path]

I hope they added it in later iterations, i know there are skills for that, but also poe 2 will do it also...

[surreal verge]

They did, they did not like it

[mild pewter]

Orobyss Boss Drop it, u need up ur Monolith to lvl 100 and kill the boss Fall of THe Empire

[dusky kite]

I dislike generic dodge mechanics in games cause they warp the entirety of combat and encounter design around them and erode the unique identity of different classes

[dusky kite]

well, on the bright side, it was only 5 and not 500

[lofty path]

Ok, i just started so i don't know but i hope speed modifiery really sped up the game

[silver rover]

Are all of the crazy like 4k+ corruption builds getting obliterated in 1.0 or should we expect some outliers to squeak through

[native sail]

Who knows

Keep in mind the Lich one is a bug and is getting smacked

[dusky kite]

maybe they'll drop more 10k corruption builds in 1.0

I wouldn't be surprised

[mild pewter]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/monolith/fall-of-the-empire/empowered/boss-items

[topaz plaza]

thank you

[dusky cosmos]

Will they rework the blessing system? sepcially the increase drop rate blessings of equiment pieces?

I dont see any reason when there is literally a whole faction with 1.0

[native sail]

There's stuff on the table for blessing system eventually. I don't think they're going to remove the increased rate ones, it benefits everyone.

[surreal verge]

Because so MG still benefits from it

[hoary grove]

would this filter work if i want to recolor specifically Jungle Queen's Chaps of Holding?

[native sail]

I don't know if you can recolor uniques?

[dusky cosmos]

Yea, but its non sense to take them when you can target farm with the CoF faction.

[native sail]

Or rather specific ones

[native sail]

I mean. No.

Because CoF let's you target specific things under specific circumstances

Not just "item type"

[surreal verge]

But it's free?

[hoary grove]

it works for

bastion of honor

[surreal verge]

Then it might

[native sail]

Huh. Fair enough then.

[hoary grove]

using this but i dont have a jungle queen chaps to test

the issue with using level as filter is that leather belt has so many unqiues

[surreal verge]

Even then, I don't think they want to replace those blessings with more power, they'll just rework it to something else

[stark charm]

does increase stun chance work for spells? I play death seal lich so I dont think I use that?

[surreal verge]

Yes, stun works on all hits.

But you don't want it anyway

[stark charm]

oh so spells count as hits? good to know, thanks

[toxic echo]

some spells, yes

[surreal verge]

Only DoTs don't

[desert tree]

Spells that hit does

[surreal verge]

So check skill tags

[stark charm]

okey, thanks

[lethal mural]

do you get 1 try in lightless dungeons, if you die you get kicked out or you get more tries ?

[sinful laurel]

all dungeons, you die you retry

[native trellis]

1 try

[candid elm]

And you'll need another key to try again

[native trellis]

Which is good imo. Though I hope some fast and very hard pinnacle bosses as well in future which needs some keys etc, that ofc retry If you die, but it is just kind of boss instance.. so fast boss runs or similar.

[edgy halo]

could someone help me understand what these are for im so confused on how to use them im guessing they are for crafting but how do i infuse them into my gear

[toxic echo]

on the right side of the inventory screen, there is a transfer crafting mats button

hit that, they go into the infinite storage for the forge

from there, hit f to open forge

there are some game guide pages that can explain the basics from there

or youtube vids

[edgy halo]

oh okay ty i was so confused on how to use them for crafting

[candid elm]

You can open that forge with F whenever you want. You don't need to physically interact with one - although there are a couple in the world just to remind you it exists and to push F I guess

[toxic echo]

long ago you had to visit forge to craft

they just aint take it out

[sinful laurel]

i got that so ingrained in me that my muscle memory cant get rid of it

I always go to the forge

[lethal mural]

in the temporal thing if the legendary item(with lp) is level 30 and the exalted item is level 77, is it the level 30 or 77 that matters when you select what tier you wanan enter ?

[toxic echo]

the one on the unique

[lethal mural]

ok ty, i got 1 with 3 legendary power that is low level but only 1 affix that id need i think ill wait to get someting better or another item similar to the 1 i have equiped

[sage shale]

does game have class based leaderboards or just in general

[toxic echo]

just arena leaderboards split by party type and class.

they had a few other leaderboard ideas, but idk if they made it into 1.0...but they should come eventually

[jaunty yarrow]

How can i change de language of ther game for english?

[sage shale]

is arena like waves?

[toxic echo]

in settings, one of the first options

[toxic echo]

yes

[jaunty yarrow]

inside the game?

[toxic echo]

ingame and on actual login/server selection

[jaunty yarrow]

oh, found it, thanks mate!

[lethal mural]

i guess weapon have to be the same base, mail bracers unique would not accept exalted gloves ? in the temporal crafting room

[native sail]

Come again?

[surreal verge]

No, they just have to match type.

[lethal mural]

one says gloves , unique bracers and the other jsut says glove

[toxic echo]

glove need glove, no matter what type of glove

[lethal mural]

kk nice to know ty

even tho i have some 2 or 3 uinque lp, not worth the risk to transfer for right now . ill look for some close to same items

[tired granite]

do we know if Stash tabs bought now will be available in the first cycle or will i need to rebuy them. debating if its worth the time setting them all up

[native sail]

Stashes have to be rebought every time

They're bought with in game gold so it's only fair

[tired granite]

Thanks so no use it sorting them out for until the 21st

[radiant fossil]

does anybody have a good void knight warpath leveling build? I'm level 29

I see warpath can cast abyssal echoes, not sure if that is worth going for. I'm

currently specced lunge / warpath / erasing strike

[native sail]

Maxroll has a VK leveling guide. I think Boardman does as well. Dr3adful doesn't do leveling guides afaik but he does have full build showcases up.

[radiant fossil]

I looked at that one but it's using orb

I was looking at this one, but they take Earthschorcher which doesn't make sense to me when paried with apoc whirl:

I think they're just taking it for the ignite stacks from the trail, which get converted to time rot and subsequently hit damage for you

[wide sentinel]

that is one cooked build for sure

but oh well u can find a lot of ..interesting things on letools

[pastel pebble]

Some are amazing, some not so much

[cunning crow]

What are some fun bleed builds that aren't warpath or furry?

Specifically that can use taste of blood

[desert tree]

Hammer Smite Paladin

Shield Rush Paladin (don't try it if you are online)

[cunning crow]

Anything potentially in lich or primalist?

Hammer smite might be a way to go though

[surreal verge]

Lich melee not fun, do not

[charred portal]

I'm interested in playing this game, coming from PoE and D4. Would you advice me to wait the 2 weeks until 1.0 release, or just start playing now. Are things getting reset when 1.0 hits?

[wicked plover]

just start playing now, you get all the new stuff with your current char as well

[near path]

Personal advice would be to wait, there's no shortage of bugs and stability issues in current client version

Much of which is supposedly fixed with 1.0

[desert tree]

Wait so you get to enjoy the best state of the game, and hopefully a near bug free experience

[charred portal]

right I'll wait out the 2 weeks then!

[candid hedge]

Hi guys i might be interested with this games. Is there some content creator that you guys recommend that introduce the games.

[toxic echo]

mcfluffin when you catch his streams is very good. he is slowly getting into youtube content

[candid elm]

Like you want a "should I play this game video?" Zizaran just put out a video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5dkfuHO9EIY

[desert tree]

Oh no

Another mastery change drama

[cursive delta]

how to level up fast to lv100?

XD

[wide sentinel]

just play the game

no secret strats here

kill mobs fast

[wicked plover]

kill all ze stuff fast ! pew pew

[wide sentinel]

books help too but not much

[wicked plover]

or whatever method of murder you prefer

[wicked plover]

im still addicted to taking them while lvling

[cursive delta]

This sounds terrifying I love it

[golden violet]

how do i enter this time rift?

[wicked plover]

go to the left, take the stairs

[golden violet]

oh lol thanks

[cursive delta]

Anyway we can have a dps metter? If that's even possible

[toxic echo]

the devs are hard against that

[surreal verge]

#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[toxic echo]

best you can do are the dummies in champions gate

[cursive delta]

I see, i asked cause i wanted to check on what would give me the best dps output timebased xD
Since i do a lot of damages at once its hard to check values

[toxic echo]

and while the dummies have no defense compared to mobs in game...it at leasts gives you consistant dmg output to compare to other of your outputs

[wide sentinel]

best is oldschool exel table

[surreal verge]

Exactly because they have no defense that makes it easy to check numbers imo

[toxic echo]

you could time yourself on killing the dummy (its like 10 billion hp or something) and then switch and do it again

but it might be quicker to excel it. lol

[cursive delta]

😂 that would take forever

[wide sentinel]

my google search bar after some theorycrafting and dps calcultaions

[toxic echo]

hey im just giving you options 😛

[cursive delta]

Yeah i do have infinite mana but still XDD

[pastel pebble]

My calculator after my daughter grabs it

[wide sentinel]

well thats for now the only way to know 100% if smth will fly or not, besides editing offline files

i would do the latter but idk how

[pliant marlin]

does this passive not work? I have mana, I cast it once first, in combat or not... it never seems to reactivate

[toxic echo]

smart people...mana efficiency...its like CDR where every100% is half right?

[toxic echo]

like 99% sure its bugged rn, yes

[wide sentinel]

ya to both

[pliant marlin]

okay, I see :/

[steel merlin]

Just in case, 100% is half, the next 100% is not half of the half

[desert tree]

If you are playing with a keyboard h numpad you can numlock it

[near path]

yeah the formula is Y/(1+X) where Y = mana cost, X = the % efficiency you're adding

[toxic echo]

👍 to all

[sterile meadow]

was wondering if our characters in 1.0 can access items from legacy characters

i only play offline

[steel merlin]

Yes

[toxic echo]

your current toons to go legacy. you can still make new legacy toons after 1.0. those would be able to access as long as its the same sc/hc and not solo challenge

if you made a cycle toon, no. those are seperate

[sterile meadow]

oh that makes sense, ty!!!

[acoustic thicket]

Do shop stocks refresh every 10 min?

[toxic echo]

i thought it was 5 minutes, but yeah, time based

[acoustic thicket]

Good, thanks

[pliant marlin]

does Max Mana affect Mana Regen in any way?

[robust tundra]

Do we know if there will be surprises on 1.0? E.g., QoL changes that haven't been announced

[buoyant sinew]

no, base mana regen is 8 flat

[buoyant sinew]

we don't know

if we did they wouldn't be surprises

[daring obsidian]

With Summon Wraith on Necro, can you choose Twin Spirits to only have 2 wraiths AND take Echoes inside to raise it's maximum from 2 - 4?

[buoyant sinew]

so I admit I'm not sure exactly what you mean

[wicked plover]

do we know what we dont know 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔

its getting philosophical here

[buoyant sinew]

run while you can 🤣

[wicked plover]

i would assume that there are some surprises with 1.0 ^^ but i wouldnt rely on it

[surreal verge]

You'll summon 4 but 2 will be overwritten immediately

Leaving you with 2

[daring obsidian]

Is there a way to increase the number with twin spirits? D;

[surreal verge]

No.

[surreal verge]

As seen here!

[cursive delta]

Question! The stats we get from passing a Unique into Legendary are from the Exalted we use or are they random stats already input on the Unique item?

[toxic echo]

from the exalted

randomly

[cursive delta]

Ahh oki thank you Eagles!

[golden violet]

are devs gonna fix servers with 1.0 release?

it's unplayable basically

[pulsar veldt]

can you reset quests or do i have to delete my char now? It tells me i have a quest there but there is no quest anywhere on the map

[surreal verge]

they're trying to, since server issues are "Your mileage may vary"
Some have zero issues, and some(Like you) have all of them

[golden violet]

bullshit, my ping is <50 so mileage is def not the issue

[native sail]

That's

That's not what that term means

[surreal verge]

My ping is 100 to Asia NE and I have zero issues with servers.
I'm saying it's not your comp is the issue. It's that it's a weird as heck issue.

[toxic echo]

they are saying not everyone experiences the same problems

and its not even 100% on the game either. your ISP plays a kinda big role there too

[surreal verge]

Becuase it's literally not related to ping, and that some weird server swaps can evaporate the issues.

[surreal verge]

Over a missing quest? Err did you kll a snake lady by any chance

[pulsar veldt]

its a fresh character

i have to talk to balthas but he isnt anywhere on the map

[surreal verge]

I can't read that so I got no clue which quest that is.

[wind oak]

what does "enrage" do

[pulsar veldt]

the keepers vault

[surreal verge]

Might need to do a quick relog.

(If you havent yet)

[pulsar veldt]

Ah, got it.

[stark charm]

what strategy do you guys have for keeping uniques? I'm thinking one of each and then one with highest LP

[toxic echo]

basically this, unless its a really rare/useful one

[buoyant sinew]

pretty much but I keep all LP ones unless they're really common to get with LP

not keeping 1LP bee gloves say

but I'll hoard every copy of 1LP apathy's maw

[stark charm]

I dont really know whats good, most of them seem useless to me

hence my keep one of each strategy just in case

[wide sentinel]

join MG on trade and ull be able to send all that 1-2lp garbage

[humble elm]

Hi everyone! Do we talk about technical side here? I noticed, that my character stutters a bit while moving. It's not a big problem, so I'm not sure should I go to bug reports (also I don't know how to do screen capture, so I can't really show anything) and I just wanted to ask - are there anything on my side I can do to get rid of it? Or this is on server side and I can't do anything about it?
Ping 70ms, stable, so it's not about internet

[toxic echo]

can talk about anything LE related here.

sometimes it can be a specific movement skill that kinda messes with the game/servers and causes some stuttering...could be mobs/maps/environmental stuff too...could be graphics too much or too much speed/things happening on screen and it cant keep up...any one of those things could have led to a weird/errored position on the server which doesnt quite ever catch up with the game. really hard to tell just from what you said.

that being said...if you think its a bug, report it and the devs can look at the logs it pulls when it sends and might be able to fix it

[humble elm]

It looks like lag. I'm either moving with mouse or Warpathing and in both cases it sometimes stutters a bit before I get to desired location.

[lavish turtle]

Hi! Is there a monolith where exalted sceptre echoes appear more often? or is it completely random?

[toxic echo]

exalts are more on the random side. sometimes dungeons have mods for more exalted drops of a certain type tho

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/dungeons

but in monoliths, complete rng

[regal sapphire]

i heard the game is going to be 15$ at release is that right ?

[near path]

No

[surreal verge]

IT'll be whatever price it is right now.

[lavish turtle]

this is precious info, thanks a lot!

[near path]

Who is feeding these lies dood, like where is this shit coming from, I must know

[topaz plaza]

if im level 87, whats the fasted xp for 90? arena, mono or dungeons?

[near path]

900 times a day on this server people ask about and are told that there are no discounts coming yet the perception persists

[surreal verge]

Where's the FAQ about it

I've been asking it since RM dropped

[toxic echo]

monoliths is pretty much always the best thing for anything you do. and you wanna get into empowered as fast as you can anyways.

[topaz plaza]

Ya just trying to rush 90 so i c an unlock the next 3

[toxic echo]

you should already be in the 90s. and honestly should bt in empowered already as well tbh

very common to be 10-15 levels behind

[native sail]

You don't need to match the level? Just go.

[topaz plaza]

it wont let me get to the next tree? i thought i have to be 90? ive done these two multiple times

[surreal verge]

You need to murder the boss of all 3.

[topaz plaza]

no i meant it wont let me walk up this, ive defeated everything up to here too

[cedar locust]

[cedar locust]

Nope, not a word we use here my dude

[native sail]

But uh... yeah, not a great word

[near path]

Ave materializing with deliverance

[lyric hornet]

I know this is a silly question, but which subclasses/builds provide the greatest amount of gameplay challenge and skill use variety? So far I am very impressed with the tri-elemental rune invocation Runemaster, but what else might be of a similar challenge?

[topaz plaza]

aight

[surreal verge]

You've found the peak

[lyric hornet]

What else might come close to the peak?

[buoyant sinew]

blade dancer maybe kinda?

[surreal verge]

BD? Jank builds? Idk honestly

[balmy pasture]

Is there any way to fight the player?

[surreal verge]

No PvP

[balmy pasture]

Okay. But I'd like it if there was some way to have a 1vs1 with a friend.

[buoyant sinew]

put it in #1123698164503949392

[balmy pasture]

Okay

[old basin]

does anyone understand what this affix means ? The wording is peculiar

nevermind i pressed control and figured it out

but the wording of the affix is a bit weird

[native sail]

You just found one of the strongest tools in the game

[old basin]

I have heard haha

I am building a warbear right now, not sure if usable for that

[native sail]

Ctrl and ctrl+alt do wonders

Woven Flesh is an okay item for starting monos, allows you to have a bandaid for crit avoid for a while

[old basin]

maybe if i start becoming squishy. Just got to monos on this character

I do have a lich it might work with

[elder apex]

Is there a way to increase the chances of an item getting LP? Or do I just need to basically increase the total amount of drops and raise the chances by just getting a higher volume of gear

[minor anvil]

Hey guys, trying to buy some armour but when I click on the cosmetic shop option in the menu it just closes the menu.

For reference I'm using ps5 controller on PC...all other menu options work

[desert tree]

Rn you need to increase the number of drops. After 1.0, increasing Corruption will increase (slightly) the chance of lp

[humble elm]

What's good defences for basic monos? I have 75 all resistances (necrotic 71), 1200 hp and 5k armour and I fought Rahyeh like 7 times a row before beating him.

[native sail]

You health is a little bit low. Do you have endurance and crit avoidance? Also dodge, block, or glancing blow (if you're a Rogue for the last one)?

[dense root]

i mean also like mono bosses are about dodging more than anything else

[native sail]

Yeah that too

[civic kiln]

just booted the game up for the first time in awhile, anyone know why my fonts r strange (Have grey background etc)

[native sail]

Yeah, it's a bug. Should be fixed at 1.0

[civic kiln]

oh is it for everyone?

[native sail]

Yup

[halcyon marsh]

How about adding achievements on Steam?

[rough reef]

whats a good build for farming 1000 corruption that does high damage / tanky? i looked up guides but mostly begginer guides

[barren kayak]

Is there a way to export ones character with current outload? My char is generating maelstorms and i cant for the life of me figure out why lol..

[native sail]

Will happen but not at 1.0

[desert tree]

Lastepochtools.com

[native sail]

^

[desert tree]

Has a build planner with an import fonction

[gilded orchid]

Will any of the deluxe/premium versions include early access or does it launch for all on 21st?

[desert tree]

But generating maelstrom come from idols, a unique amulet or you are a werebear and you Swipe

[native sail]

Even just the base game is early access

You've been able to buy and play via Steam alone for... 5 years?

[gilded orchid]

I mean its supposed to launch on the 21st? Or is there an earlier date?

[native sail]

That's 1.0 launch

Not early access launch

[gilded orchid]

Gotcha. Does progress from EA cary over to 1.0?

[native sail]

Yeah

[gilded orchid]

And when can you play EA? Now?

Or?

[native sail]

It goes to legacy on launch, same as standard for PoE or eternal for Diablo

[native sail]

You tell me

[gilded orchid]

❤️

[desert tree]

Update?

[gilded orchid]

Thanks for the answers. Appreciate it

[native sail]

Any suggestions on a build that can farm 1000 corruption? all the guides that i saw that look good are from a year ago and not sure if nerfs have hit htem or not.

[barren kayak]

omg

Thanks lol

[native sail]

Np

[barren kayak]

i have 4 lvl 100 "primalists" how the damn did i miss that xD

[native sail]

Everyone misses something somewhere, don't worry

Earlier today I bricked a Binding of Isaac run because I went to cathedral despite picking up the negative

[lavish pawn]

That is the Mono blessing character specfic or account?

[near path]

Character

[desert tree]

Don't think so

But since it's not out yet kinda hard to tell

[buoyant sinew]

I'm 99% sure no. all the curses say they're curses in the tooltips (which we've seen), and Aaron specifically highlighted all the new curses and didn't mention witchfire as part of that

[boreal kestrel]

Is reduced bonus dmg from crits the same as critical strike avoidance?

[native sail]

Effectively, yeah. You'll still take the crit but it'll do X reduced bonus damage.

[near path]

Functionally. Difference being that at say 87% of each, if crit avoid procs you avoid ALL the bonus crit damage, else you if it doesn't you take the entire hit. Whereas reduction will reduce bonus damage of ALL crits by that much

So at <100% reduction is more reliable

[wind oak]

Well no, 1 reduces the extra damage you take from crit
The other gives you a chance to avoid the crit

Can you clarify what you're asking? They're not the same stat

[toxic echo]

they do the same thing at the end of the day. crits dont do extra damage. having 100% crit avoid still makes you take the hit...so at 100% they both do the same thing.

Anomander explained that under 100% reduction is more reliable/better for the damage recieved.

[balmy current]

If there are any effects that proc when you take a crit, then 100% Crit Avoidance will make it so that thing doesn't proc. It would still proc with 100% reduced bonus damage from crits though.

[wind oak]

I'm not disagreeing with any of the answers above me

The answer to their question (as written) is "no they are not the same"

[near path]

This isn't PoE however, mobs do not have proc on crit effects. Whatever they have is on-hit

[toxic echo]

which was explained in both of the answers...by the words "effectively" and "functionally". yes they are different, but there isnt enough of a difference at the end of teh day to make a big deal out of it

[balmy current]

No, do you have any effects that proc when you take a crit.

[wind oak]

There certainly are differences below 100 and I think that's a valuable point

Further more, they may be asking if those 2 affixes stack additively

[near path]

A couple yeah, Fiery Dragon Shoes' fire trail as an example. That would proc, you are right. Idk if anyone would care, but it would proc.

[balmy current]

Yeah, that's as far as I was going.

[wind oak]

We don't know the purpose of their question whixh is why I asked for xlarification

[balmy current]

No, they would be multiplicative.

[humble elm]

No endurance, no crit avoid, two-hander sentinel, so no dodge/block/glancing blow

[native sail]

Those first two are pretty key, see if you can get them. You can get a bit of block even if you are 2H

[humble elm]

I mean, should I try to spend points on block, if I won't cap it?

[native sail]

It's hard to cap block already, anyway. Excludiing one outlier that I personally think will be nerfed.
So even if it's not a lot, like 20% block is still a bit of defense

[boreal kestrel]

I’m just tired of juggling 100% crit avoidance as a mage. I saw I can grab a passive that will give me a big amount of % reduced bonus dmg from crits

So I wouldn’t need to juggle as much

Hc lvl 81 taking it slow and haven’t seen that blessing yet

[flint yew]

honestly the easiest for mage is the catalyst node + exalted hybrid armor belt

[native sail]

This gets into affix budget. If the use that passive and T5 crit reduc on two items they get basically the same thing + a chunk of flat armor and open a blessing for other things

Re-read what you replied to then

They said passive

Not blessing

They're a mage

RM tree has a passive for crit reduction

[dusky cosmos]

Does eneyms crit often?

[kindred finch]

Is 1.0 supposed to include a big balance patch?

[native sail]

Ehhh... More like, if you do get crit in empowered and you don't have defense against it, you're probably dead. Especially if it's a boss. Worse than that, modifiers can make them crit more, and that's awful to experience.

[toxic echo]

highly likely

since there hasnt really been a balance patch in like, 6 months of something like that

[balmy current]

Probably depends what you mean by "big".

I wouldn't expect it to completely shake everything up.

[peak zephyr]

Is anyone else having problems when they go to a new area the game loses connection?

[balmy current]

Their focus is on the 2 new masteries & item factions after all

[static root]

For build guide videos would you prefer the gameplay showcase at the start, during the video or at the end?

[buoyant sinew]

personal: short and varied gameplay showcase under the intro, then longer one at the end after all explanation

[rough reef]

whats strongest druid build atm at high corruption and speed?

[toxic echo]

lightning bug is going to be up there

think there is an EQ build too, maybe.

[rough reef]

@toxic echo Can you PM me a guide?

[hearty frigate]

did anyone find a solution to the random 'stuck' on loading screen bugs where the game seems to be loaded but the loading splash does not disappear? It's driving me mad, random echo quests do it but then sometimes they don't aaaargh

[toxic echo]

uhhh... for lightning bug? i just used maxrolls.

[wicked plover]

does health on kill work if minions kill?

or if i proc culling strike with a curse

[toxic echo]

no. only if something YOU did caused the kill

[wicked plover]

applying the curse technically is smth i did

no?

:^)

[toxic echo]

yeah, i was more talking about the minion thing

curses from you should work fine

[wicked plover]

alrighty ty

[royal junco]

Are "experimental" items relevant?

[toxic echo]

some are

ward per %hp missing is huge. some of the haste/frenzy ones are good on builds. the armour>dot reduced dmg can be big too

zombie one, minion teleport on some builds.

[royal junco]

Okay cool thx for the info 👍

[dusky cosmos]

Do you have to play necromancer with minions?

[toxic echo]

have to no. but thats the enitre point of the class. just be wasteful and not efficient if you didnt

[buoyant sinew]

that's not entirely true, there are some necro builds around the shade skills that don't use minions for main damage

but they still have incidental minions

[dusky cosmos]

understood, thanks

[muted geyser]

Why does marauders increase my dps by almost 4 k more than warriors but warriors has better stats?

[near path]

tooltips are a lie, for one

[echo cipher]

hey yall, is there a cap on how much % penetration i should give myself? it's confirmed that if i have 90% penetration and the target only has 75% resist, i'd do 15% more damage right?

[native sail]

The marauder one there has immensely more flat damage

[steel merlin]

yes

[echo cipher]

thanks

[steel merlin]

the only cap is natural diminishing returns by investing too much on it

[muted geyser]

Yea but you would think because it's damn near doubling the physical dps % it woukd be a way bigger boost. But I guess I'm still learning lol

[steel merlin]

as a general rule flat >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> % phys

if you check your main skill, its base flat is often just 1

so 50 flat is like a 50 multiplier or 5000% more damage

[muted geyser]

Well it won't matter anyways cause I'm trying to farm for bhudkers wrath anyways.

[native sail]

Weapons don't have physical DPS. Everything is a stat stick in LE.

[steel merlin]

blessed be this decision

local modifiers are hell

[muted geyser]

Yea my melee dps is 390% but my physical dps is only 289%

[echo cipher]

does cooldown recovery % reduce the 3 casts per second cap

[native sail]

Who wants to run the math for them?

[native sail]

No. CDR only affects the actual skills on your hotbar.

[echo cipher]

okay thanks

[muted geyser]

Anyone wanna run lvl 85 monos? Don't need carried just bored running it by myself.

[toxic echo]

Might have better luck in #👥┃lfg

[obtuse pecan]

Lost Connection way too much.. any thoughts?

[wicked plover]

try different login server

[obtuse pecan]

huh.. ty

yea... no

[wicked plover]

are you sure its not your connection

[obtuse pecan]

yea.... i'm using a south america connection, and now it works fine.. I'm in Wi, usa

[wicked plover]

yea lowest ping doesnt always mean best connection, trying out different servers helps in most cases

[wide sentinel]

why not?

exactly just cause your ping will be higher doesnt mean anything

[storm sun]

Hey guys, will we have leagues like in PoE and Diablo?

[obtuse pecan]

I think they're gonna b called cycles

[storm sun]

so there will be a new cycle on feb 21?

[buoyant sinew]

yes

no cycle exclusive content, but reset and ladder

[obtuse pecan]

yea.. but the cycle content will be available even if you don't play in the cycle

[native sail]

Time to pull out the Mike screenshot again

[obtuse pecan]

I've been watching all I can on the you tubes

[storm sun]

I understood that the content will be available for all, but will there be a separation between cycle players and legacy players? Given that we will have trade now, it would be cool to have a fresh economy

[native sail]

Yes, there will.

[viral kettle]

is there some problem with euw server? i suddenly have 300ms ping on it (usually 30)

[wicked plover]

.

[wide sentinel]

there are always problems with euw server, from the amount of people complaining abt it here its probably the worst server lol

[viral kettle]

this is 1st time it showed so high

little bit better now, but how can it be the same as US lol

when i am from Croatia

[toxic echo]

Cuz internet does weird things

[pulsar veldt]

I had bad ms in euw too today

[radiant fossil]

Is there anything about idols and uniques that make them better at higher levels vs lower? As in, if I get a unique at a low level, can it be used at a higher? I only see a level requirement for them, I don't see a reason why it would be better depending on the level

[toxic echo]

Try other server, try resetting client, just wait. Servers (esp eu west) just like to hiccup sometimes

[faint cape]

The ping checks are not always accurate. I hear Muffin has been working on improving that.

[buoyant sinew]

no there's no gear score or anything

[faint cape]

Unique drops at higher level have a higher chance of having legendary potential

[toxic echo]

Nothing. Most of the levels on idols and uniques are just there to drop gate them so you cant get crazy good stuff early

[faint cape]

otherwise they are the same no matter where they drop

[radiant fossil]

cool so I should be keeping uniques that drop at low levels then

[toxic echo]

Some can be good at low levels, and getting thru campaign. Really want LP on most tho

[faint cape]

not all of them exactly, but I like to keep my best-rolled copy of each unique

and yeah, ones with LP (usually)

[merry kestrel]

Does the Somnia helmet only drop from Tier 2 plus??

[native sail]

Yea

[toxic echo]

Correct https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/search?query=Somnia&in_description=1&exact_match=0

[merry kestrel]

Is it a low percentage?

[toxic echo]

This site answers all your gear questions

[merry kestrel]

I just seen. Thanks a ton!

[wicked plover]

does dread shade stack with itself

and minion max res is probably 75 as well right

[native sail]

Dread Shade is a binary buff iirc
And yeah, 75 is max

[wicked plover]

ty

[faint cape]

No

[lavish pawn]

Can I have Different idol loot rules active at once? or will it still prio the Idol rule that Higher

[surreal verge]

the latter

[light pilot]

if i reach 200 corrupton in a timeline, it unlocks the last blessing slot. But it doesn't unlock any 'new' blessings right?

it's just an extra slot for higher than for getting hte blessing i want during farming stage

[minor vigil]

Nope

[light pilot]

i butchered that last sentence

[surreal verge]

Correct

[light pilot]

ty

[crisp veldt]

anyone know what the response time is like for support tickets usually?

[cedar light]

Do you think a thorn totem shaman or a summoner necro will be a smoother/easier experience? Trying to find really good builds for handicapped player and these two seem pretty low maintenance for playing. Maybe warpath as well if there are enough auto-cast skills to fill up the skill slots.

[faint cape]

It depends on the controls needed. Something to be aware of is that many necro builds require targeting of dread shade, which is not easy with a joystick for example. I think totems should be pretty chill.

[cedar light]

kb/m is the control style, and i doubt they would use shade. I think they would opt for a lazy varient to the build. ive never played one that far so wouldnt know for sure how it would work out. I do play the thorn shaman a fair bit 😛 havent gotten to endgame with it but it has been quite smooth to 70ish

only catch is needing the belt for spriggan but its not that bad to play without it

[faint cape]

Okay yeah, that works, too. They can also do a solo minion build and put dread shade on autocast, that works quite well as long as you only have one minion

Safe bet is totems though, without dread shade, necro does have a much harder time

[cedar light]

i can almost guarantee they wouldnt set anything to auto-cast unless the skill had it naturally somewhere in teh skill tree, they think the numlock thing is cheating 😛

[faint cape]

If it helps, numlock is officially okay per the devs

[surreal verge]

And also dread shade is a REALLY good buff

[cedar light]

yea, I know it's been approved, they just don't like it. can't do much about that part, and I can sorta see why they feel that way, so i'll definitely recommend them the totem setup if they dont find a warpath setup they like

i dont think any of the sentinels have a warpath setup with all auto or perma skills, yea? I know FG can have some pets but thats about all I know

and paladin has its aura

but i dont think you can get it down to a warpath only setup

[faint cape]

Fair enough, it's a game so they can play however is fun for them 😄

I feel like you probably could, it would probably be weaker than normal (kinda like necro without dread shade)

There are a few other good one button simple builds as well, like vinebear or something. It's late here, so I can't think of much else lol

[shadow moat]

Any way to reduce lag?

I died once due to lag yesterday

It was softcore so not perma death yet

Ping shown before connecting to the server was ~50ms

Btw My first playing last epoch

[flint yew]

was it lag or did you get stunned

[shadow moat]

100min so far

[shadow moat]

I got out from one map and I walking to the bridge and instant killed by 4-5 enemy. Spawn suddenly.

They were already beating me before i got to the bridge.

I mean before death enemy shown suddenly

I am from Asia. My English is bad. I don't know how to explain what happened.

I know 1 spawn on bridge

So other 3-4 are before bridge

[mild axle]

I have a 46lvl unique with 1LP , i can use the tier 1 temp sanctum for it correct? does the Exalted Item have to meet a level req too? I have a required lvl 73 same item type to use

[surreal verge]

No, it doesn't care about the exalted's level

[mild axle]

nice thanks

[neon path]

hey guys, any reason as to why whenever I log in, TP to a town or relog I lose half health?

[flint yew]

bug, wait for 1.0

[light pilot]

something to do with your gear that has +health on it

[neon path]

ahh gotcha, thanks

[echo cipher]

is stun% very useful as suffixes?

[main axle]

any tips on how to find dragonsong?

[near path]

Fall of the Outcasts mono, search for unique bow reward echoes

Push corruption there, supposedly you find more special reward nodes at higher corruption

Rune of Ascendance also works technically but you're less likely to roll LP on it

[cedar comet]

Sry, I have question, does it mean I gain lightning aegis on hit or being hit guys

[wide sentinel]

latter

[bold path]

I'm having an issue while playing runemaster where my abilities will generate the wrong rune type and sometimes I'll just be stuck on one combo no matter what element type I cast. Has anyone had that happen to them before?

I'm not sure if it's a node or what but i've looked at everything

nvm i found it

[polar pendant]

There a guide anywhere that explains how damage calculations work?

[buoyant sinew]

the combat mechanics section of the in-game guide has I think everything you need to know (press G)

but it's also a lot to read, if there are specific things you're unsure about ask away

[polar pendant]

awesome, thanks!

[novel smelt]

Question about channeling skills with channel cost and negative mana - how long can I keep 'em up on negative? Is it tied to how much time I spend on negative or how much I go into negative?

[bleak vine]

Does Arborist node in Storm Crow tree cause the Crows to stop attacking and only spam buffs on totems?

[steel adder]

Interested to play, but how stable is SEA server? From my search, it seems not that good

[surreal verge]

Asia SE here, no server issues for me

Servers are pretty much a "Your mileage may vary" case

[steel adder]

Well, I hope it's good for me too. Waited years for LE to be out from early-access

[calm silo]

Hello guys! Just started my first play through and I was wondering if there is missables quests that give permanently buffs (I.E. POE Bandits)

[novel smelt]

You get passive skill points and idol slot expansions from certain side-quests, you can find info which give you these on LETools

Note that there is more quest rewards than maximum you can get(15 passives and 8 idol slot expansions)

[storm blaze]

And you can check how many you've received on the map screen bottom left

[kindred lantern]

anyone having an issue with controller support? ps5 and xbox controller both keep getting stuck not being able to move without casting a spell

[calm silo]

Thanks ☺️

[kindred lantern]

just seemed to have started today

[red needle]

when i have the increased amulet blessing does this increase omni drop chance or are boss drops not affected by blessings?

[pliant marlin]

anyone else have this issue where the tooltip for "procced" spells etc is hidden under the main tooltip?

hard to see the scaling tags...

[wicked plover]

i dont know about this specific issie, maybe it's an ui tag, but you can hover over your skill on your skillbar and it wil show the tags a swell

[pliant marlin]

yeah but the "Holy Trail" effect has different tags than the main skill proccing it

[wicked plover]

i would assume it's fire and lightning ( which the main skill already has ) and damage over time additionaly

[pliant marlin]

and spell also, "Added spell damage applies at ???" :/

maybe it's because my resolution is weird (16:10 instead of the usual 16:9)

[wicked plover]

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

lightning fire dot and spell tags

[wicked plover]

maybe post this here https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/437309396230471680 i am sure they will look over it

[silver rover]

I've seen some empowered monolith speedruns that end up at like level 72. Is it unlikely they're strong enough to actually do an empowered monolith? 100 corruption level 100 mobs at 72 sounds kinda scary

[pliant marlin]

Ah right, maybe more suited to the bug report channel. I've noticed some other UI elements acting weirdly aswell. I have a strong suspicion it's because of my aspect ratio (16:10). Thanks for all the help @wicked plover

[wicked plover]

with the right items it's highly realistic

especially with twinks, if you prepare legendary lvling gear for them

[silver rover]

was more considering a 1.0 launch scenario

[wicked plover]

np, still worth reporting, your hardware shouldnt cannibalize the whole ui ^^

[wicked plover]

what do you expect to change with 1.0 in this regard

people still get the same patch in legacy

so you will see lvl 100 warlocks/falconers on day 1

[silver rover]

well there's the cycle right

so you can't twink

cause you ahve no stash

[wicked plover]

yea for cycle i doubt that people will be THAT fast

[surreal verge]

That's somewhat normal with a good build

No twink gear needed

[storm sun]

warlock and falconer will release on 1.0?

[wicked plover]

yes

[round portal]

anyway to make minions hold their position ?

[bleak narwhal]

Can Lagon on the Monolith 75 drop the Stormcarved Testament unic? Or does it have to me empowered?

[dusky kite]

yes

[dusky kite]

not only are boss drops not affected, but uniques are not affected either. Because they first roll for item type (a unique in this case, so the blessing applies and does nothing), and then rolls a specific unique from the generic unique drop table, and this roll is type-agnostic as well

[dusky kite]

It seems to be a problem for 16:10 resolution, I still use my old monitor and I have it as well

[red needle]

ok thx
so this blessings are only up to exalted?
if i have 20% more unique drops and 50% axe drop i drop more uniques but not more unique axes

[dusky kite]

yes, you'll get 50% more exalted axes and 20% more of all uniques, including common pool axes

[red needle]

thought they help more with target farming but seems they are not as impactful as i thought

[dusky kite]

yeah, it's been complained about since forever, but this doesn't seem to be a high priority for the developers

idol blessings can be useful for targeting specific effects though

[red needle]

yeah idol seems to be the play
or maybe increase chances for an experimental base?

[icy cradle]

How does egoism work? Does it work only on one minion as stated? Can it be applied to all minions with other skills?

[surreal verge]

yes, no.

It's only applied to the minion that has dread shade, but you CAN have multiple shades, as long as you didn't take lone watcher, but you're cooldown locked.

[steel merlin]

Can you be affected by dread shade with egoism?

[surreal verge]

Egoism doesn't affect the aura, just the targetted minion

[rough crystal]

Anyone have an idea why do I have this weird white shadow behind text? It kinda makes the texts hard to read.

[surreal verge]

Known bug

[rough crystal]

Oh I see thank you.

[cedar locust]

This should be fixed in 1.0 😊

[cedar locust]

Hi there! Just in case you didn't get an answer - the Support team respond as soon as they can, though are US based so time zones can make that time a bit longer.

Anything I can help with?

[open mirage]

Where is monolith boss ?

[wicked plover]

click this

[open mirage]

I feel stupid, I though it was Orobyss fight

Ty

[wicked plover]

every time you defeat the timeline boss you get a stack of orobyss gaze, each stack will give you bonus corruption when you defeat orobyss

thats the number you see there

[open mirage]

I see; thanks

[steel merlin]

Confused it with all for one

[tribal bone]

I thought the same the first time

[acoustic thicket]

I got a question about items that say recently something something happens. How long is recently and does this reset when loading into zones ?

[toxic echo]

4 seconds

should be under terminology page in game guide

[steel merlin]

Should be there if you hold alt over iten

Or Ctrl alt

[toxic echo]

Prolly resets on zoning? Not sure. Depends on how its worded/what skill

[rough crystal]

When I change scenes, the map goes "unexplored". Is that intended or is there a way to make it so that explored areas are remained explored?

[acoustic thicket]

It's for the gambler's fallacy item

[toxic echo]

Is bug for like towns n stuff. You cant keep them explored right now

[silver rover]

Is there a good crafting calculator where I can just figure out the statistically best option so I don't brick items yoloing?

[steel merlin]

It's not that deep

[toxic echo]

Ya that should count load times...its just going off your last action/crit

[toxic echo]

Afaik there is no crafting calc...its not that complex to need one. Game tells you the rng range of losing FP

[mild pewter]

how Can I share my stream on this channel #🔴┃livestream-shoutout ?

[toxic echo]

Yes. There

[mild pewter]

Do you need a content creator partnership??

[toxic echo]

Could also try to get the streamer role in the discord

[cedar locust]

CouchBot automatically grabs streams from Twitch, though it can take a short while so don't worry if you don't show up in there the moment you start your stream 🙂

[mild pewter]

hummm nice! thanks! But taking advantage, is there a content creator program?

[silver rover]

It's not a matter of complexity it's wanting to get the highest average rolls possible

[cedar locust]

Yup! https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/introducing-the-last-epoch-content-creator-program/61964

[surreal verge]

You could use a planner.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/

Unless you meant the crafting RNG

[silver rover]

Yes I'm wondering if anyone's made a calculator to optimize crafting or not

[surreal verge]

Oh, then there is no such thing

[pliant marlin]

does +Throwing damage (and reduced mana cost) on a ring affect the Holy Trail from Javelin? I assume no?

[wicked plover]

no cause it doesnt have the throwing tag

[pliant marlin]

thanks

[faint cape]

The -mana cost still affects javelin, holy trail itself doesn't have a cost

[pliant marlin]

yup, thanks 🙂 wanted to make sure

[storm blaze]

Nice moomin profile pic

[cerulean thorn]

is there buff icons anywhere?

im supposed to have a buff for 4 secs after i cast teleport but see it nowhere

[toxic echo]

not all buffs have icons (yet)

they are above your skill bar though next to HP

[native sail]

They're usually shown just above your skill bar. Some don't have icons, some they only give icons for cooldowns, some they don't give icons at all if it's something that's "always on" or close to that

[cerulean thorn]

would be great to have all buffs with icons!

[sour zealot]

yes

[wicked plover]

correct

[sour zealot]

try to use rune of removal to get that mats / shattering

[wicked plover]

add a item filter for that affix specifically so you can salvage it with rune of shattering

[scenic tendon]

Is there a lot of opportunity for group play at end game? Or is it more efficient to play solo?

[wicked plover]

a well put together group will outperform a solo player
a group with no synergy will not outperform a solo player

so it depends who you play with and how

[toxic echo]

MP is more efficient with gifting in parties as long as you all play nice

all content is soloable and avail in group play.

[scenic tendon]

Hmm I see

I don’t want to sound dumb but I notice there’s no like LFG channel. Does that mean parties only happen if you like force them with friends? And people don’t really go out of their way to look for groups?

[toxic echo]

would prolly just try and seal the melee cold and pray it doesnt tank the FP left.

could try to removal (and chance brinking the item) or chaos the cold and rng into what you want.

[toxic echo]

#👥┃lfg

what do you mean there is no lfg channel

[scenic tendon]

Sorry I’m stupid

[toxic echo]

there is also a lfg channel in the ingame chat

but, you do have to manually invite

[scenic tendon]

Okay that answers my question then 🙂 thank you guys

[kindred sequoia]

does anyone have the link to the site that is doing the falconer reveal

[wicked plover]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch

[kindred sequoia]

thanks

[toxic echo]

also ziz has a video coming out at the same time

for falconer

[cinder sable]

If i hide items of specific rarity can i still somehow make the items from the hidden rarity to be shown, for example if i put rule for showing items with specific affixes or i should also add rarity in that rule

[wicked plover]

rule priority is from top to bottom

so if you hide all at the top you will never see items

[sinful laurel]

Yes, serfax has it faster than I can type haha

[wicked plover]

inversely, if you hide all items but add exceptions above, you will see those items

[wicked plover]
