[toxic echo]

Rng be rng. And uniques are weighted...arrowguard is one of the rarer one iirc

[golden violet]

yeah i checked those but maybe it's a bug or sth so decided to ask to make sure

[dry karma]

all quivers are approx the same rarity according to tunklab

[buoyant sinew]

rng can be cruel sometimes, like assuming it's a 1/4 chance based on tunklab that still means you have a 5% chance to use 10 and not get it

[fresh furnace]

Generally speaking, when is it worth using shattering runes?

[dry karma]

when an item drop with a rare affix

or an affix you want more of

[faint cape]

The math isn't exactly wrong, it's just impossible to account for time to kill. I think they've since changed it to not assume every ailment will last its full duration, but there will never be a way to calculate it correctly (since on bosses, it probably was more accurate before, and on trash clear it's probably more accurate now)

[craggy pasture]

question, i just bought the last epoch for the 21st but i didn't realise i could play now, is it worth just waiting until the 21st? or is there not much changing that playing now is okay?

[dry karma]

if you start now, you can continue to play the same character(s) after the launch. but at launch, there will be a new "cycle/league/season" that everyone can start fresh in, but there is no new content that is only for that new cycle

so it depends if you want to play in the new cycle or not

[craggy pasture]

im gonna sound silly however, is it like D4 in a way where you can complete a campaign and then play seasons without having to worry about it?

[faint cape]

It's a personal choice really, if you want to just hop on a little and learn the ropes, you certainly can. Or if you want a fully fresh experience with the update, also very fine since we're pretty close. If you plan to not participate in the temporary cycle things, starting now you are basically just starting early since everything you do now carries over to legacy mode.

[dry karma]

you cant skip campaign in this game if that is what you mean

[craggy pasture]

okay, thank you

[faint cape]

If you play in the cycles, you are starting out totally from scratch - no carry over at all, as if you just got the game

[quartz estuary]

@craggy pasture as someone who started 2 days ago, id recomend playing to learn the classes and crafting

[dry karma]

so, basically you won't be behind if you start playing the 21st, except when it comes to knowledge about the game

[craggy pasture]

okay totally reasonable, thank you all for the answers and suggestions! ❤️

[trim rain]

Good Afternoon, how many people can be partied together?

[dry karma]

and even though the "new cycle" wont have any exclusive content in it, im guessing most ppl will be playing there, so that's probably a good idea if you want to be on leaderboards and participate in trade etc

[dusky kite]

you can participate in trade etc on legacy, that's the whole point

[dry karma]

yep

[dusky kite]

while I guess it's true that most diablo and poe players will hop onto the seasonal mode, there isn't any reason to do so with the launch

[dry karma]

well, personally as a new player, i wouldn't want to start in a league where people have been playing and accumilating items for a long time, i'd rather start fresh

i think most people would agree, maybe im wrong

[native sail]

None of those items are tradable and there's no leaderboard. They'll have a headstart in monos and that's it, with the way RNG is in this game it isn't going to like break the economy instantly or even get close to that.

[dry karma]

there will be a leaderboard no? thought the devs said that. anyway, i didnt know the old items werent tradeable, good point

[dusky kite]

the leaderboard will be for the seasonal realm

[molten swift]

choosing my first blessing and i need help choosing

[dusky kite]

but this above is a good example while most new players will jump onto seasons

[molten swift]

what is a grand idol

[faint cape]

Yeah, the other players don't really affect you unless you play Merchant's Guild

[molten swift]

unsure what to choose

[dusky kite]

cause who even bothers researching how shit works in the new game when you can just assume based on your 8000000k hours in poe

[faint cape]

The 3-wide, 1-tall idols

[molten swift]

oh i have enough

[dry karma]

Well, I personally would start in the new cycle no matter what, I like fresh start.

[molten swift]

so exp?

[faint cape]

xp is kinda weak as a blessing, but not bad

[molten swift]

i dont really need the 3tall one wide idol

[faint cape]

what was your 3rd option?

[molten swift]

the other was extra gold

which i dont think is necessary

[faint cape]

gold is probably better than either imo

[molten swift]

idk im getting a solid amount so i figured i could go without

its too late to change xD

[faint cape]

you can dump a ton of gold on stash tabs or lightless arbor

[molten swift]

what is lightless arbor

[dusky kite]

Gold is much better than either of these if you don't need the idols

[dry karma]

I don't think its weird that people would start in the new cycle. D2/D3/D4 and PoE has exclusive content every league, why would'nt ppl assume it's the same for LE. It will probably be the case next cycle and every cycle after.

[faint cape]

it's a dungeon with a gold sink in it

[dusky kite]

And you can re roll it at higher corruption

[molten swift]

damn maybe i did mess up lol

was that first blessing the only one that could drop gold increase?

or is it random

[pliant kite]

A few questions I have had that I have no been able to find answers for in the guide.
Some of the echo affixes are "enemies become deadly if not damaged", but there is no description of what deadly means in the guide.
Also there are ones that "rare enemies...", but when I try to look up anything about enemies in the guide, there is nothing. Is it ones with blue names, or gold names? I would assume gold, because those are rarer than blue which seem to be everywhere; but I am not sure.

[native sail]

Lol

[faint cape]

nah, not a big deal - you'll replace that blessing later on with an empowered one that's just better once you get to that point anyway

[native sail]

Deadly = double damage
Rare enemies have gold/yellow names

All echo modifiers can be seen on tunklabs if you're ever unsure

[faint cape]

If you press Alt on the mono node, it should explain the things like Deadly and Enrage, also

(if it has that effect on it)

[molten swift]

which should i choose (a lot are overcapped atm due to a lot of gear i got have +elemental resistance and working on fixing that)

[pliant kite]

I tried that, I wasn't getting any extra info using alt, ctl, both; maybe I was doing it in the wrong place, I might have been doing it in the section in the bottom right where the affix was described, not the node.

[molten swift]

fire damage is my main output with fire/ignite runemaster

this is my other ring

[faint cape]

I think it might actually be a little bugged right now to not update dynamically, you may have to be holding Alt already when you mouse over the echo node

[dry karma]

Not sure what you mean by posting that. Looks like what I said is likely to happen, but not 100%, not even they know.

[native sail]

"It will probably be the case next cycle and every cycle after"
My guy that image is proof that at minimum the next 2 to 3 cycles are universal

[dry karma]

"few cycles", so the upcoming one and the next? Not that far off

[native sail]

On top of being proof that they are more likely to lock certain items to cycles rather than mechanics, which is what they've profess is their preference

[native sail]

Each cycle is going to be 3 to 4 months long. So pretty far off.

[dry karma]

I never said anything about time?

[rough reef]

Anyone playing Frostclaw have a loot filter by chance?

[faint cape]

They did say in the past their first 3 cycles all the content is going to be universal... but that doesn't necessarily mean they won't have some exclusive unique items. It just depends.

and they change their plans whenever needed based on community feedback, so all subject to change

[dry karma]

Only time will tell if more people will play the cycles or the legacy, I only know my own choice 😛

[molten swift]

i have one but its for a fire frostclaw dependent build

[junior knoll]

Is there a recommended build planner or a popular one? I want to start planning my build and look through possible uniques

[dry karma]

looks like lastepochtools is popular, maxroll has one too, might be more

[thorn oyster]

will there be a reset on 1.0 or you keep your progress?

[dry karma]

there will be a new cycle, but you dont have to start in that, so no reset

[thorn oyster]

new season you mean where everyone starts from 1 lvl?

[dry karma]

yes

but it wont have any exclusive content. the only thing it has over legacy is that everyone starts fresh

which, to me is exciting, but to some others in here, not so much

i suspect most new ppl will start new cycle

[thorn oyster]

I suppose future seasons will have exclusive content

[dry karma]

yes, but apparently the first few are planned with no exclusive content

and nothing is set in stone

basically

[tired pond]

Another day looking for an answer how to solve this problem. Tried veryfi files on Steam, tried completing earlier mono. My character is stuck in normal mono where left 3 un-completed last monos on this quest line. Any idea how can I complete this and unlock empowered mono ? RIght now I am so desperated (this is my beloved character) that I may use any idea (mod-files or programs) just to be able play and this is OFFLINE mode.

[ember urchin]

Any idea when the patch notes drop?

[mystic moon]

Does LE have 2 handed Hammers, or are there only 2 handed swords.

[exotic plinth]

what would this mean

[mystic moon]

Sweeeeet! Thanks

[buoyant sinew]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1203954468337623111

[buoyant sinew]

+1 to the level of the skill

so an extra point to spend in its tree if its specialised

[ember urchin]

and it gives them more armour

[exotic plinth]

alr bet thanks

[ember urchin]

which you def need in later corruptions

if you want them to stay alive

a T7 of that prefix can be like huge armour

[desert tree]

This does not gives them armor

[magic stream]

the exalted that you put alongside the unique into the eternity cache, can it have fewer than 4 affixes? Just wondering if I can increase my chances on copying the affix that I actually want...

[desert tree]

Needs 4 unsealed affixes

[magic stream]

ok, thx

[ember urchin]

does it not?

[desert tree]

But thats not the same thing

[ember urchin]

I see

+1 and level

[buoyant sinew]

it's not that the +level gives them armour

[desert tree]

This screenshot come from the set

[buoyant sinew]

it's that that affix gives both +level and armour

[desert tree]

Pebble iirc

[vocal plank]

No that is not a set that's a shard.

[desert tree]

#❔┃ask-the-community message

This green text was from the set

[vocal plank]

Oooh I get it now my b

It's late, I'm tired, am dumber than normal

[ember urchin]

I am quite curious about what new items we'd get

[desert tree]

Iirc they will reveal only a few uniques

And let us discover the rest

[safe harness]

“Discover” on letools

[desert tree]

Last time pretty sure Dammit did not had all the uniques at the beginning

[meager dirge]

A lot of conflicting infomation online, what happens at 1.0 launch in terms of seasons/cycles. Will creating a character now not have access to 1.0 features ?

[faint cape]

Do your other monoliths work? You don't need to do Fall of the Empire to unlock empowered.

[desert tree]

And add them like a week or so after

[vocal plank]

You choose like path of exile iirc

[tired pond]

missing The Last Ruin, Age of Winter also

[safe harness]

Only thing you lose out on is the ladder

[tired pond]

If I only had an idea how to solve this problem or not to get this issue in future ones....

[faint cape]

But you were able to do Spirits of Fire?

[tired pond]

yes Spirits work

[fluid magnet]

Henlo could anyone explain to me real quick what t17 or t20 means?

[desert tree]

The sum of the tier of affixes on your item

t20 = 4xt5

[fluid magnet]

ohhh ty ty

[faint cape]

Huh interesting, and the waypoints don't 'unlock' when you walk to them?

[tired pond]

Nobody else here had this issue ? What did I do wrong

[stark charm]

just found out that for making marina lost soul legendary I need to beat T4 Julra... how hard is that actually?

[rough reef]

Looking for a good mage or necro build for bossing and monos any good suggestions? I have 90% of uniques

[stark charm]

what corruption is that comparable to, if its comparable?

[near path]

It's a mechanics check more than anything

For some builds, if you get clapped you die

[tired pond]

I can walk there, waypoint seems "open" but

[stark charm]

I play low life lich, so yea.....

[near path]

But everything is pretty projected so easy to get out of the way once you learn it

[tired pond]

Waypoint "locked"

[near path]

I believe a t4 dungeon is comparable to like 200-250c? Idk

[stark charm]

so far I struggle at 100c 😄

but I droped some nice items today so its getting better

[faint cape]

Very strange. I've never seen this bug before, but the best advice I can give is maybe try to run an echo (or even the monolith boss) in the pre-requisite monolith and then immediately try to walk to these and use them.

So like for AoW and LR, touch the Reign of Dragons monolith to view its map, then walk over. If that doesn't work, try to run an echo in RoD, and if that doesn't work, kill the boss and walk over immediately

[tired pond]

This will not work - already tried - because pre-requisite are complete and it seems to unlock after I do "complete" earlier mono

Something is wrong with files after some update patch

[faint cape]

and if none of those work, I can't think of anything else that could fix it

[tired pond]

The last thing not to waste my character is using utility to edit files but am aware of do that

[faint cape]

Sometimes this bugs out though and just touching the monolith to open the map help the game "remember" that you've completed it. I've had to do this to unlock empowered in the past

[tired pond]

Oh so maybe will try it again...

[stark charm]

also, to make legendary item, you need two items of the same type... does that mean two wands or wand and one handed weapon for example?

[faint cape]

wand + wand, 2h axe + 2h axe, etc.

[stark charm]

cool thanks

[fresh furnace]

Is there a list of all the sets and unique items anywhere yet?

[faint cape]

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

[buoyant sinew]

if you mean new ones coming in 1.0, no

[wide sentinel]

so will we have some kind of hype week starting this monday? where ehg posts leaks and stuff?

[faint cape]

I'm not sure if it'll start monday or exactly 7 days before, but we definitely have a hype week coming soon

[wide sentinel]

[faint cape]

I can't remember what they did in the past, other than the last hype week post is patch notes

[wide sentinel]

well hopefully starting tomorrow cause after patchnotes drop nothing to leak lol

[faint cape]

yeah exactly

though I guess they can leak more new uniques, since those are never in patch notes

and specific skill nodes on "Storm Rage"

[fallen thorn]

Can an enemy only have one curse on them? I.e. could I Mark for Death and Spirit Plague the same enemy, or would the second erase the first?

[balmy oriole]

Any ETA on Patch Notes dropping? hoping for a PoE like 1 Week before Patch release for 1 week of theorycrafting

[native sail]

#1161416976321744896

[fallen thorn]

Couldnt find it in the Game Guide

[toxic echo]

Multiple curses

There is a passive node that gives more dmg per curse, so, gotta be more than 1

[fallen thorn]

Oh awesome, thank you!

[tired pond]

Before I decide to use some kind of tool to edit files and repair my broken character - will this result in a risk of potential problem on multiplayer that I "cheat" while using it on offline mode ?

[rough reef]

For those of you that got to 1000 corruption curious what builds did you use?

[fresh furnace]

Whats the thought process behind picking up affix shards, then having to go into inventory to click the "transfer to materials" button (or whatever its called)?

[sterile widget]

There's no 100% guaranteed answer to this question but in the past Mike has said they don't expect to police offline mode (paraphrasing)

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

Devs wanted them to be like items. They have heard feedback thats its not awesome. They are rethinking things. Nothing will be done at 1.0

can i add a 4th stat to it?

[toxic echo]

A suffix, yes

[ocean trail]

these are not worth for runemaster huh

do these stats apply to spell hits?

[native sail]

Yes

[desert tree]

Since it doesnt specify anything , yes

[native sail]

If it isn't a DoT it's a hit.

[stark charm]

anyone here willing to give me some feedback on my lich? I saw people using bone curse instead of hungering souls for similar setup as I have but I tried it and seemed weak?

Guys im new player . Have first 3 monolith open . I just wonder should i try to go for next monolith or farm the same one till i have all blessings ?

[stark charm]

you can only have one blessing per monolith and you should push to unlock empowered

[faint cape]

Press onward

[keen dust]

Than i will push till i cant do next monolith and gonna farm last . Should i go for resetting webs or strengthen that monolith ?

[faint cape]

Until you're in level 100 monoliths, no need to do either really, since moving on to the next monolith will already get you higher level enemies/drops

[keen dust]

Aight . Thx

[strong trail]

Hello i have spec Spellblade (at lvl 20) and i want to know if i can spec something else now (lvl 57) like runemaster or sorcerer

[desert tree]

No, Mastery is a final choice

As the Big Red Warning pop up box mention

[strong trail]

yes that's what i thought, so if i want to play runemaster I have to create another character ?

[desert tree]

Yep

[compact granite]

newb question anyone know why i cant spec into Titan's bane as thorns totem? it has in red single projectile.

[desert tree]

Do you have 2 pts in Lethal Thicket ? The node before

[compact granite]

ah not yet no, it say a requirment so I ddn't think anything of it

it didnt

[bronze ocean]

Thanks for reporting it. This was already fixed internally, but it will be possible to roll out the fix only with 1.0 update.

[native sail]

Pay attention to the dots in lines attaching skills, it tells you how many it requires in the preceding node.

[compact granite]

also i repsec a piont, but it doesn't give you that point back?

[native sail]

You have to relevel it, yeah

[compact granite]

@native sail gotcha

[native sail]

It's slowish early, it's super fast later

[compact granite]

ah so its not like regrets in poe

its if you want to respec, then you have to relevel it

[native sail]

Mhm

[compact granite]

dang

[native sail]

It's to stop us from a gem swap equivalent

[compact granite]

welp gotta learn some how sure i'll be asking more lol.

[thick ore]

hi guys, i wanted to ask if you can move with right click in last epoch?

[desert tree]

Nope

[native sail]

Not rn. It's been brought up often lately, I'd wager they'll look into it later

You can set a keybind to force move to cursor though if you want, might help a little bit?

[thick ore]

ok thanks, as soon as they add i will get the game for sure

[ocean trail]

when i dont let show axes for example. but have another rule that highlights axes. will i still see the axe?

[runic hinge]

With the Explosive Delivery node (makes Ballista shots explode on hit), does a target that gets hit by the main arrow get hit once or twice per shot?

[runic hinge]

the rule higher up on your filter takes precedence

[polar pendant]

I just did the lightless arbor for the first time and I gotta say, the loot explosions were VERY satisfying lol

[ocean trail]

is this really good? -50% bonus dmg from crits just for 6 int?

[buoyant sinew]

it sure is

[native sail]

Oh it doesn't cost you anything. Just wear a catalyst.

It's really good.

[ocean trail]

what is even a catalyst

[buoyant sinew]

a type of offhand item

like a shield but not

they're quite spellcaster-focused

[ocean trail]

this?

[buoyant sinew]

yes

[ocean trail]

but 50% less critsdmg?

[desert tree]

Its less crit taken

[buoyant sinew]

oh you have misunderstood

yeah

[desert tree]

Not dealt

[buoyant sinew]

it's when you get crit you take less damage

[ocean trail]

ohhhh damn

[desert tree]

And Take reduced dmg ...

[native sail]

Ah I see now what you meant. And now you see what we meant. As you can tell now, very good node.

[copper fog]

Hi, im new to last epoch and a PoE player

wanted to ask about what build i should play?

in PoE i love fast mapping super tanky builds

[light pilot]

Is there a limit on item drop rate VS corruption level? Like does it cap out at 200 corruption?

[copper fog]

my most recent builds in PoE were a budget armour stacker to delve and an amazing rf chieftant for mapping

[light pilot]

e.g. https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzAcEYHYE4g - says minimum corruption 50 needed

[ocean trail]

i think there are some builds that regen a ton of Ward when doing dmg. like 15-20k Shield so kinda unkillable

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0gouCApzJg&list=FLd0wrkGYnLd2p9FcvZp8_SQ&index=1&ab_channel=RaidBossCannon

will probably get nerfed but idk

[desert tree]

Yes, but iirc its very high

Like unachievably high

[light pilot]

oh righto

[copper fog]

hmm

any easy to follow guides i can use for my first character?

[ocean trail]

im lvl 38, runemaster doing all 3 elements. should i keep this for a long time?

or get a rare chest with some defense stats?

[copper fog]

is this the right chat for recomandations?

[ocean trail]

30% less ele dmg taken makes me kinda tanty th right

oh

[copper fog]

hmm i think general might be the right chat,

[light pilot]

LP on an unique is purely random right?

[desert tree]

Yep

[light pilot]

ow

[desert tree]

As of rn Corruption has no influence

[near hatch]

is this cause of the loot filter lol?

[desert tree]

Yeah, it happens when smth is supposed to be emphasized

[desert tree]

This is good, but at some point you might need to change it

[near hatch]

ah okay appriciate the fast response

[desert tree]

Imo you should just dive in blind, this is the best way to discover the game

[copper fog]

i tend to dislike going in blind, makes me quit games faster

a diffrent question, what are some of the build creators i should look into?

icy veins, max roll and so on are all things i heard of

[dense root]

i would not trust any of the icy veins builds

they are of generally low quality

maxroll is fine i guess? i tend to disagree with at least a few of the decisions in each build but on the whole they’re at least like coherent builds

[copper fog]

the one i like is this one https://www.icy-veins.com/last-epoch/necromancer-skeletal-frost-mage-endgame-build

looks very end game but something to go for

[dense root]

aside from that perry the pig and dr3adful are both reasonable choices

[copper fog]

kk ty

thoughts on the guide i linked in particular?

[nimble apex]

is it possible to automate dread shade casting somehow?

[dense root]

i don’t really know enough about necro to have good opinions on it

like i said, the icy veins guides for things i do know about have been consistently not great so i personally can’t recommend the site but for this specific guide i can’t actually give any useful comments

[copper fog]

ok

[nimble apex]

anyone tried doing dread shade's beyond death node on volatile zombies?

Just make sure Steam app is open

it is

[buoyant sinew]

completely quit out of steam and then restart it

seems to usually fix this

[iron kayak]

[sand mauve]

Hi, I bought this game earlier today. Just a quick background, Big POE fan but would like AARPG where I can build and craft without a guide and this game seems the best fit. I'm not here to troll or repeat a common question. But, I literally bought this game 4 hours ago and haven't still been able to log in. Is this common? Am I messing up somewhere by not resetting or deleting something? I know the game is probably at its peak with the recent sales announcement and upcoming release date, so I am definitely the problem with the unusual traffic. I am just wondering if this is actually unusual or a common thing.

[dawn orbit]

What is the blue stuff top right? does it show how good it is i have 11% from 10-15 so no blue = 10% 1 corner = 11% and all corner = 15% ?

[faint cape]

It's a bug, you currently get loaded in and your health set to max before your equipment is applied, which then raises your health from all its stats and doesn't updadte your current health

[polar pendant]

Alright. i was thinking something along those lines. Ty

[fresh furnace]

This has probably been answer but.. do we know the full extent of what is comming in 1.0 (is it 0.92 + factions or more)?

[faint cape]

Yeah, exactly - it's just how well-rolled the blessing is within its roll range

[midnight sage]

I want to be a melee lightning werebear, just curious should I be focusing on melee damage or spell damage or should it actually be a mix?

No, we still don't know everything. It's definitely more than just Factions, we're also getting 2 new masteries, a new primalist skill to replace ice thorns, tempest strike rework, a skill tree for healing hand, and a lot of graphical stuff (to name the big ones). Hype week is starting soon where they'll reveal more of it, but some stuff we still won't know until release (like all the new unique items, etc.).

[faint cape]

If you're doing a melee lightning build, spell damage won't benefit you at all

[midnight sage]

Ohhhhh I seee

[faint cape]

Best recommendation I can give is do a full restart of your Steam client and if that doesn't work, restart your computer and/or validate your game files through Steam.

[vocal dune]

hey all. i keep getting disconnected and crashing when i try to connect to the game. im seeing other people having the same problem. any ideas on what to do?

[faint cape]

First attempt I'd say try switching the server you connect to

Otherwise, here's some troubleshooting things you can try: https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1205212339654234153

[twilit crystal]

anyone know if we will have town hub party making tool similar to poe or something in 1.0?

[dawn orbit]

when i reduce the corruption does my loot get worser?

[vocal dune]

Unfortunately I’ve tried almost everything at this point. Not sure what’s going on. Thanks for the help though

[dense root]

yes

[faint cape]

There are towns in game. No LFG tools yet, but something is expected to come eventually.

[candid mauve]

What's the general rule for Skills? 1 generator, 1 spender, 1 dodge type and 2 buffs? Or does it not matter?

[faint cape]

other than in game and discord LFG chats

[faint cape]

Usually 1 traversal skill, but the rest depends on build - different classes have different staple skills

like nearly 100% of mage builds use flame ward

[dawn orbit]

when i switch my blessing, i assume i can not switch it back easy and i need to make again the questline of the monolith and pray i get the one i need back?

[faint cape]

Correct, at least for now. It's scheduled for a change, but I don't know if that made it in time for 1.0

[twilit crystal]

do we atleast get to see others in town or is it still solo mode?

[faint cape]

Yeah, you can see others in town as long as you are in online mode. (Not sure about if you select one of the solo challenge modes, but I think you still see other people)

[tacit musk]

sorry for a silly question but I am still a little new but when I am comparing rings it only saws me the 1 ring I have equiped. is there a way to compare the ring in my inventory to both rings I have equipped?

[native sail]

Not atm. It's on the docket to be done eventually.

[tacit musk]

ok thank you is it the same as if I am duel wielding?

[dim garnet]

dumb question, but i bought the game years ago. Will i have to rebuy it when it comes out? it shows on steam that i dont own it, but its in my library.

[toxic echo]

Yes. Same issue

[tacit musk]

ok thank you

[toxic echo]

Game is game. You might need to migrate your steam account to get it if its been a while

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1205146421347622972

[rough reef]

this any good for frost claw?

[wicked plover]

cant argue with +5skill can you ^^

[rough reef]

i got almost exact same stat one with +4 Volcanic Orb 99% spell damage, 22% crit and 20% void resistance with 2 times to level it up still lol

not sure if any build uses Volcanic Orb lol

[surreal verge]

No

[wicked plover]

any way to get flat spell crit without a weapon? cant think of one right now

through gear*

[surreal verge]

Skill nodes themselves is your best bet.

[wicked plover]

unlucky, ty

[karmic ice]

In the quest 'Journey to the necropolis' I need to speak with Yulia but I can't interact with her at all. Same happened with Oracle in the ' The Oracle's aid' quest. Tried closing the game and opening it again but nothing seems to work. Actually small correction: I can't interact with nothing, waypoints, stash, vendors etc

[acoustic thicket]

Is the sentinel always female or can I make them male?

[surreal verge]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1161420614599446558

[wicked plover]

know bug and it will get fixed with 1.0
when it comes to fixing quests all i can think of is relogging, switching zones back and forth and talking with quest giver again
maybe tryout any of those options

[wicked plover]

huh

hol up, is sentinel female?

my life was a lie

[surreal verge]

[acoustic thicket]

Yeah that kills it for me

Thanks for the answer

[wicked plover]

where booba?

[acoustic thicket]

Guess ill just wait for PoE2

[wicked plover]

i am confusion

[acoustic thicket]

I read somewhere they changed it to a female, idk

[faint cape]

nope

[native sail]

Other way around. A VERY long time ago Sentinel was a woman, they changed it but left the old model in the game as an NPC.

Like, a VERY long time ago

[acoustic thicket]

Ahh ok

[surreal verge]

..... You couldn't tell?

(Or did you not play yet)

[acoustic thicket]

Havent played yet

[surreal verge]

Ah, explains

[acoustic thicket]

Isn't it not out yet?

Feb 21?

[wicked plover]

game has been playable in ea since ever

[polar pendant]

its been in pre-access for like 4 years

you could've bought ages ago and played it on and off. its playable now

[acoustic thicket]

Oh 😂

[native sail]

Yeah, early access has been on Steam since like.... 2019 I think?

[vapid wedge]

How does ward per second trigger? In combat? - or if I have a skill that allows me to gain +10 ward per melee attack, does ward per second stack on that?

Cause my ward stays at 9 out of combat, so idk when it increases

[rustic breach]

what is the difference between offline and online mode?

[native sail]

Ward rapidly decays all the time. Ward per second is always going. If you have no ward retention then it's going to cap out super early.

[molten thicket]

its active all the time but the more word u have the more u lose per second (reduced by ward retention)

[wind oak]

wait how is the soulfire boss supposed to work

or am I missing something

at some point he can turn the entire(?) floor into fire degen

and then there is a necrotic ring of death

so am I supposed to be in fire immune or necrotic immune

both kill me

[vapid wedge]

ah, but out of combat, my ward stops at 9. Is it because I have too low ward retention?

[native sail]

Kill him (I hate his mechanics and just try to insta gib him)

[wind oak]

is there some safe space on the floor somehwre?

[vapid wedge]

ward retention = slower rate of decay, correct?

[surreal verge]

No online functionality etc.

[molten thicket]

yes that means u drain the same amount of ward as u regen

[wind oak]

am I missing something about the mechanic

[vapid wedge]

ahh, so the extra amount is being drained, leaving me with just 9?

So if I have ward retention, that amount being drained is slowed - so I'll have more

Is this correct?

[wind oak]

your euiibium point wi be higher than 0

yes

[molten thicket]

correct but the higher ur ward is the more it drains so u want to increase both

[vapid wedge]

rightt

[vapid wedge]

higher the ward as in higher ward per second?

or higher ward amount in general?

as in, higher ward amount = more decay?

[native sail]

Higher ward = faster decay

[vapid wedge]

right

gotcha

[molten thicket]

yea just get a ward in whatever way you want and to make it stay get retention

[wind oak]

what level of power do I need to be able to burst him down at T4, I assumed Area lvl 100 meant roughly about as hard as lvl 100 empowered monos but it seems magnitudes harder

like I can prpbaly kill him in about 20 seconds but he did necro ring + floor is lava and I just instant died?

which Is why I'm asking if I'm missing something

[molten thicket]

just learn to use ur extra action button 1 makes u take less necro dmg the othe less fire, swap before u die to his spells

[wind oak]

I explained, the floor is all fire

the necro ring is coming

you can't dodge them?

i didn't see any safe section on the floor to stand

[molten thicket]

i guess u need more defense to survive the fire or more dmg to kill him before then

[wind oak]

what does more defense mean

I'm 2300 hp and max res

[native sail]

That's very low health for T4s

[polar pendant]

can you use a movement skill to jump the line?

[wind oak]

oh I didn't know that

[wind oak]

what is a normal amount

[native sail]

Like 3.5k min

[wind oak]

I recently completed all my empowered monos and got all my blessings

and about 290 corruption on my highest mono

[molten thicket]

reduced dmg from over time, global damage redution, endurance or more health

[wind oak]

yes but it seems risky, like if I clip the hitbox I die? seems safer to use necro shield

[wind oak]

yeah I have about 20% reduced DoT

but ok, knowing that 2300 hp is "very low" is helpful

I guess it seemed like a strange difficulty jump coming out of empowered monos

[molten thicket]

yea you cant really compare them. and they are not very good at telling you what difficulty it is the level thing means almost nothing

[native sail]

T4 bosses have a lot more one shot potential than monos do. Numerically they may be similar to like 300ish corruption, sure, but mechanically they're much harder

[dusty badge]

is bleed puncture still the way to go for levelling a rogue marksman

i last played nearly a year ago

trying to get back into the game

[wind oak]

does it make sense to run the t3 dungeons or not really

just wait until I can handle t4?

[molten thicket]

personally i would do monos unless ur farming something specific from the dungeon 🙂

[wind oak]

great thanks 🙂

[near path]

it's pretty good still for that purpose, yeah

dots are just good value in campaign

[slim marsh]

Haven't played this in a while. Is anything substantially changing at launch?

[vapid wedge]

Is the last campaign quest the medusa snake boss?

or is my quest bugged out because I have no more main quests

[wicked plover]

yea thats the last campaign boss for now

[vapid wedge]

aight, ty

[wicked plover]

if you got +1all attributes you know you are done

[vapid wedge]

oh yea, the sand symbol thing? how do I check for sure?

[wicked plover]

press C

none of the attributes should be 0, unless your gear is a mess 😄

[vapid wedge]

so I just farm monoliths now?

[wicked plover]

yeap, and dungeons if you have need for them

[vapid wedge]

aight ty :)

Is there a max lvl?

[wicked plover]

100

[wicked plover]

you wont be close to being done with your gear when you reach that, so there is a lot of progress even after ^^ but it's a very nice milestone to reach

[vapid wedge]

I keep getting necro items, maybe i should've played necromancer

playing spellblade rn 🥹

[wicked plover]

yea that's common , not sure why, maybe because minion uniques have a lower lvl
you'll get some fancy stuff for spellblade soon enough 😛 just keep grinding

[vapid wedge]

Spellblade seems slow to clear echos tho

[wicked plover]

depends on the build ^^

you'll work it out 😛

it's very easy to respec and try stuff out

[vapid wedge]

I'm using shatter strike because I don't like the firebrand skill

[wicked plover]

generally using mobility skills and movement speed at least on boots is recommended, independend of your build

even if you kill slow, this will make it feel faster

[vapid wedge]

what are bonus stability for?

[wicked plover]

to progress your timeline faster
it's just a little smth extra

[vapid wedge]

ahh

[wicked plover]

if you are 2 stability short to start the boss encounter it's worth killing few more mobs before leaving the echo after it's done, other than that you can ignore it

[vapid wedge]

Ah, I see. Ty :)

What are attunements for?

[wicked plover]

that's one of the main stats, gives you flat mana and dmg scaling for skills that have the attunement tag

you can press G to open the ingame guide or hover items with ctrl+alt for detailed description of all affixes

[dusty badge]

Got it thanks, could I also check if it's normal to basically respec my entire build? Was looking at a multishot marksman and the guide suggests to respec into it after hitting level 70

Come from poe so that seems pretty drastic, compared to the transitioning from levelling skills into final build

[near path]

Yeah it's normal

Respeccing everything except your mastery choice isn't hard

[dusty badge]

I see

It's just gold and some skill levels right from what I gather

[near path]

Passives just cost trivial amounts of gold, skills need to be relevelled a bit but again not hard

[twin bramble]

I want to start playing again - but I'm embarrassed to say I never got the hang of loot filters

I found a build I want to try from lastepochtools but it says the following for the loot filter

"Depends on your need from each period of time. Feel free to customize your own loot filter for the build."

anyone have any tips for how i could learn the loot filters better? I tried importing one from lastepochtools but im not sure I get what its doing/ may not be customizing the way I should?

[dusty badge]

Got it, thanks

[near path]

Also Flurry/Multishot is bugged right now, just warning

Fix is coming with 1.0

[dusty badge]

Yup so about that, does that mean I should avoid it

Since its current level of power is far higher than what it's supposed to be

[near path]

Well. The bug is partially in your favor, with the attack speed cranking itself to 9000

But the other part of the bug makes projectiles vanish and not register hits

So it's... whatever I guess? You can still try it out

[dusty badge]

Yeah I know about the whole aspd thing, which means when the bug is fixed dps will take quite a significant hit right

[obtuse lintel]

does the doom stacks if you equip 2 siphon of anguish?

[wicked plover]

if you wanna do your loot filter yourself start slow and step by step as you progress your character

the best way to approach it generally is hide all items and then make rules for the ones you want to see

so for beginners i would start with hide white items
once you got some gear in your slots and you crafted some stuff on it you can start to hide blue items and so on

later on you can continue to refine this, but nothing wrong with starting slowly
as soon as you know what you are doing with your build add rules to show gear with stats you need/want, you can highlight and change their colors

[wicked plover]

the chance to apply doom stacks, doom stacks are capped at 4

[twin bramble]

thank you! Ill go with that approach for now! Trying to get away from the horror that is D4 items. I've waded through enough full inventory and 5 stash tabs worth of garbage for one lifetime!

[wicked plover]

remember though that rule priority is from top to bottom
so if you hide all items at the very top it will disable every rule beneath

[sharp ivy]

hello! very new player here! :p i am going to start playing Last Epoch, but i wonder if i can build my first character the way i want or is it highly advised to follow a build guide?

[wicked plover]

build however you want

[twin bramble]

ah that is likely part of what was wrong with my previous attempts. thanks again!

[wicked plover]

the only permanent choice you make for a character is your sub class decision

[sharp ivy]

a ok! i have in mind to play the sentinel class and the dark knight sub class. I forgot the name xD Void knight?

[wicked plover]

yeap ^^ pretty fun class

[sharp ivy]

awesome! then i will go through the game the way i want and if i want to get more serious i will look into a build guide. Thank you! Do you maybe have a few tips for beginners? 😛

[light pilot]

What's generally better higher corruption. Vk Warpath or VK hammer smite?

I enjoy my warpath build, but if the hammer build is miles better, i'll give it a crack

[wicked plover]

press G for the ingame guide and use ctrl+alt to hover over items
that will teach you 95% of the game
and dont be afraid to use the loot filter function, it is very straight forward

[sharp ivy]

Will do! Thank you for the advice! I appreciate it! 😄

[silver rover]

are there new leaderboards for 1.0 like for leveling/corruption? Or still just arena

[wicked plover]

the farther away from center you are

[silent pagoda]

yoyo just wondering, hows the multiplayer aspect for this game? last time i play poe its like very solo oriented

[wicked plover]

you can do all content solo or in a group, totally up to you

[warped cloak]

its good -- a bit buggy currently -- hopefully fixed on release

[sharp ivy]

Hello everyone! the newbie again xD I notice that the text in game is very blurry. i looked a bit online what it is and how to fix it, but i have no luck as of yet. Does anyone know what to do?

[wicked plover]

some tooltips are a bit blurry, it's a known issue

[sharp ivy]

Ah i see! And there are plans to fix it in the future?

[wicked plover]

aye

[undone otter]

100%

there is a massive tooltip overhaul coming 🙂

[wicked plover]

is this rdy for 1.0 or soontm

[undone otter]

1.0

[sharp ivy]

oh nice! Very glad about it! 😄 I tried to read the guide, but it is a bit difficult xD

[undone otter]

there has been a couple small teasers of them on old dev streams

[sharp ivy]

well good to know! I will just continue on then! 🙂 One last small question. if 1.0 launches will you need to make a new character?

[wicked plover]

can only imagine how good it looks, the new item windows look clean af

[wicked plover]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1187326924754788362

short : no

[sharp ivy]

ah very fair! I am not a leaderboard chaser anyway xD so this is good!

[silent pagoda]

so currently we can't play the early access?

[desert tree]

You can play

[silent pagoda]

just buy straight from steam?

[buoyant sinew]

yes

[wicked plover]

si

[silent pagoda]

oki thanks bois

[dusty badge]

Could I check if this is a bug of some sort? I don't see the quest marker over any of the waypoints

This char was made way back and from what I found, it seems to be a bug with accounts that were made while this quest was still a thing?

[wicked plover]

what happens when you press M? does it show the marker on the waypoints

[desert tree]

I don't think this quest exist anymore

[dusty badge]

There are no waypoints

Yeah

There're quite a few people who've reported this bug on the forums

Cause this char of mine was created waaaaay back

[wicked plover]

this must be very early on right?

[dusty badge]

I just came back to the game after quite a while

Yeah

[wicked plover]

maybe just make a new one then

[dusty badge]

Oh no I just completed the story

[desert tree]

You should be able to get all the passives

[dusty badge]

I would like to actually start playing the game now

[wicked plover]

oh i thought you were stuck in main story

nvm then

[dusty badge]

Nah it's just this one quest stuck up there

That I can't clear

So it's bugging me

I just got to the monoliths part

[wicked plover]

you must have unlocked all passives and idol slots by now then, so it's just a nuisance i guess ^^

[dusty badge]

Got it thanks

Could I also check - if the guide I'm following says to only transition at level 70

[magic stream]

I just saw a video from mc fluffin showing how you can exploit the arena type of echoes and farm chests that way. Has this been patched? I don't recall ever seeing a chest in those small echos.

[dusty badge]

Is it possible to do it earlier

Like I completed the story and I'm level 58 rn

Is it alright to do or would the recommendation be to just get to 70 for the skill points and whatnot before switching over

[silent pagoda]

another question, any change for v1.0 to the endgame? i just recently watch this guy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=junsh8h7TrA

[wicked plover]

depends on the build/guide?

[wicked plover]

should be up to date

when it comes to 1.0 we get the faction system for endgame addition

[dusty badge]

I was initially going with some written maxroll guide for multishot marksman

But I'm now looking at raid boss cannon's multishot instead

Which doesn't say anythign about when to switch over

[zenith pike]

Hey friends one question: if I cast a spell in melee range…its melee damage??

[wicked plover]

no

[zenith pike]

Ops, nice 😫

[wicked plover]

hover over your skills, it will have tags at the bottom, if it doesnt say "melee" it doesnt count as melee

no matter where or how you use it

[zenith pike]

Ok, ty!

[vapid wedge]

If I use a rune of ascendance, the prefixes will be randomized, right?

how come it ocnnects to stuff like void damage? it'll be randomized?

[wicked plover]

nah stop

rune of ascendence turns your item into an unique

and uniques have fixed stats

so if you use that you will get any 1h unique sword which isnt a boss specific drop

[vapid wedge]

oh, so when should I use it?

[vapid wedge]

since u said stop

[wicked plover]

whenever you struggle finding an unique you wanna use

do you need a specific unqiue 1h sword?

[vapid wedge]

I don't have any unique sword yet

[vapid wedge]

and nope, I'm just playing around with builds

[wicked plover]

you can try your luck and see what happens
i just said stop in case that was the weapon you wanted to use

[vapid wedge]

ohh

so the current prefixes on my sword won't be kept, right?

[wicked plover]

nope

[vapid wedge]

or do I have to find a sword with prefixes I want

okie, gotcha

ty

[wicked plover]

your item is gone

[silent pagoda]

following up on this, is there any content that force u to play in a group like whats the benefit of playing in a group other than making it easier

[vapid wedge]

🤔

feels like my old sword was better

[wicked plover]

having fun with your friends, sharing loot with each other, no other benefit/reason really

[wicked plover]

i wouldnt use rune of ascendance on gear i am currently using ^^ just pick any base item and it will turn into an unique of that base type

[vapid wedge]

oh no, I didn't use on the gear I was using

just comparing on the currently equipped sword

[wicked plover]

and no, there is no forced group content, you can solo everything if you wish

[neon roost]

Do we have a release schedule of things before 1.0?

[vapid wedge]

It doesn't look like a good sword right? How can I make it better?

[wicked plover]

there is a traditional hype week before launch, we get teasers everyday leading to release day

[wicked plover]

there is only 1 way to modify uniques, and for that you need to drop it with legendary potential

you can check the ingame guide for explanation

[neon roost]

So in 2 days, gotcha

I'm guessing that will include patch notes as well

[buoyant sinew]

patch notes will be at the end of it yeah

[wicked plover]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1203954468337623111

[weak pine]

Does "more Physical Ailment Damage to Moving Enemies" on blood of the exile boots work on bleeds inflicted by a minion?

[buoyant sinew]

no, only your bleeds

[wicked plover]

anything minion related will generally have minion in the name

put the key in

yes

[buoyant sinew]

yeah

do each tier to unlock the next

[silver rover]

would +75% ring droprate affect boss specific unique rings for example

[wicked plover]

no

[rough crystal]

Question about ward, I was watching a video and this guy has ward but his hp still gets depleted upon taking damage.
I assume that all damage will be first be dealt on ward before the HP pool first but this seems otherwise.

Does this mean, your HP can reach 0 and die while you have ward?

[wicked plover]

there are items that deplete your hp in exchange for ward

so for example if you use a health pot it will directly work against that item and start depleting again

or if you use leech

for example

[surreal verge]

There ARE damage pools that also deal % current health damage and ignores ward, but those can't kill you.

[rough crystal]

Yeah I also noticed that. But as I said, the guy on the image depletes the HP UPON taking damage. His health is actually regenerating overtime.

[wicked plover]

so this would actually be a huge buff for tankiness cause it wont kill you and it doesnt touch your ward

[rough crystal]

This maybe the case. This will put me on 1 hp at most? And any more incoming damage will be redirected to ward?

[vapid wedge]

is eye of reen katana good?

[wicked plover]

sound spretty good on paper ^^ if you go for a melee ignite build

[surreal verge]

The % current health damage will ONLY hit health and never ward.

[wraith tundra]

apologies ahead of time, im sure this question has been asked. But I couldnt find a clear answer. If I level an acolyte now online, to say 50-60 and not pick a mastery. Will I be able to make/qualify as a cycle character and make it a warlock?

[wicked plover]

you cant turn it into a cycle character
you can choose warlock when it comes out on that char

[wraith tundra]

understood, so better to wait if I want a cycle character

[wicked plover]

cycle starts with 1.0, so yes

[modern crystal]

is it worth it to buy the ultimate edition pre order?

[wicked plover]

that's for you to decide, it's only extra cosmetics compared to the base game

[modern crystal]

Im a beginner so I wouldnt know about it
so its fine if I only get the base game yeah?

[buoyant sinew]

yeah, no gameplay difference at all

[wicked plover]

well yes, if you just want the game

there is no pay for power/convenience
extra cash = comsetics, that's all

[modern crystal]

are the cosmetics bundled in ultimate obtainable in game?

[wicked plover]

no

[modern crystal]

https://tenor.com/view/okay-sad-alright-sad-face-meme-gif-4887561

[lyric badger]

can items gained under COF be gifted to friends in the coming update?

[wicked plover]

wdym breaks, best part on launch is to feel like shit after 2 days because you screwed your whole body rythm

[modern crystal]

I might be knocked out around 21:45 - 2200 LOL

[wicked plover]

yes, they still need to be cof to use them

[lyric badger]

oh that;s great

[visual ledge]

HEYY EVERYBODY

I have a serious question, Im really interested in this game. But i dont agree with microtransactions that are intrusive or abusive.

I dont care much for and totally agree with cosmetic shops no problem

Does this game have microtransacitons beyond cosmetic?

I dont wanna have any purchase of power or convenience whatever

If its cosmetic only ill get the highest edition man i think this game looks sick

[wicked plover]

only cosmetics

nothing else

[visual ledge]

Alright, buying it now ❤️

[wicked plover]

have fun and welcome

[modest wigeon]

Yo, I bought this game over a year ago. Back then it wasnt on steam in pretty sure, do I have to buy it again?

[desert tree]

No

You might have to transfer to Steam though

[modest wigeon]

I dont have it downloaded anymore tho

[visual ledge]

im petty surprised its only like 20gb

[desert tree]

1.0 may change this

[rough shuttle]

As someone new wanting to hopefully reach whatever is "endgame" in this game are there any classes i should look out for.. that would make it easier? or specific setups/guides i might want to look at?

[last stratus]

hey everyone returning player here. i’m now seeing other players in town but not on the field while i’m actually fighting🤔 am i bugged or is this intentional ? but what’s the point

[wicked plover]

intentional, hub areas are populated now to make the game feel more alive

[desert tree]

Every class can do it, there are some skill that will struggle a bit more. Imo you should just go blind.

[molten swift]

what does attunement actually do

[last stratus]

i see, so i guess it’s mainly for the upcoming trading ?

[molten swift]

the description is vauge to me

[wicked plover]

flat mana

[desert tree]

Respeccing is quite easy, and you can't really brick

[wicked plover]

generally for multiplayer

[desert tree]

+2 flat mana and scale skills that want attunement

Often 4% Inc Dmg

[molten swift]

inc damage?

[wicked plover]

increased damage

[molten swift]

would it be good for fireclaw runemaster?

ahh

cant tell

[rough shuttle]

I come from POE where going blind is a no go.. Do you have some suggestions as for certain classes. I started off following a bladedancer build on Maxroll.

[desert tree]

This is not Poe

[wicked plover]

hover over your skills, you will see skill tags at the bottom, it will tell you what it scales with

[desert tree]

You can go blind

[rough shuttle]

Lovely..

[desert tree]

Making a mistake is not as punitive

But Maxroll has decent guide

I don't like them personally (the lvling ones)

[molten swift]

oh i didnt make that connection, ty

[desert tree]

Imo they try to optimise too much and sometimes makes un natural choices

But they are good

[wicked plover]

i feel like guides put too much stress on new players
you can literally just login and play
once you know what you are doing you can look around if you want smth more optimized

[rough shuttle]

I see.. very well then. Good to know i was hoping to atleast be able to get something done.. Glad to know its not the end of the world to do something silly.. Though i had another question as a Rogue i picked bladedancer.. There is no way to change that choice is there?

[desert tree]

Yep, you are "stuck" with it

[molten swift]

picking a mastery is more for the innate buff it comes with it seems to me bc u can spec points into other masteries for their skill try and skills

[wicked plover]

other masteries are limited up to the 25 skillpoint mark

[molten swift]

oh good to know ty i didnt know that

[rough shuttle]

Well darn.. Guess i'll go do one of those shadowblade or whatever builds.. They looked fun but after finding out it involves waiting for abilities to come off cooldown it started to look less enjoyable.

[molten swift]

only went as far as 15points for a skill at one point

[buoyant sinew]

which also means you can only unlock two of their skills

[molten swift]

dont stress. use this time to learn the mechanics more and maybe what u like or dont like about ur build and take that knowledge into 1.0

[buoyant sinew]

have to be the mastery to get the other ones

[rough shuttle]

I see.. btw i've been hearing allot about this "1.0" What is it all about? And how soon is it?

[buoyant sinew]

it's next week

[wicked plover]

21. feb

[buoyant sinew]

two more classes, item acquisition factions (either trade or target farming, you pick which one you want), bunch of smaller stuff

[molten swift]

lmao why does finishing the campaign and jumping into monoliths feel SO much easier than the end of the campaign (last 2 chapters)

[buoyant sinew]

because the end of the campaign is too hard lol

[rough shuttle]

Enough time to get some basic stuff and knowledge on this game i guess.

[wicked plover]

last boss is designed to challenge you, specifically your resistances ^^

[molten swift]

nah i had more trouble with the end of chapter 8 with the tentacle thing, the last boss was surprisingly easy

[rough shuttle]

I was approuching lvl 40~ What resistances do i look for (Bladedancer)

[molten swift]

for me that is

[wicked plover]

ah yea lagoon, that one is infamous for shattering hopes and dreams

well the campaign up to that point is fairly easy to get people going

[molten swift]

i dont think ive died since i finished the campaign (due to looking away for a second too long) and im on the second monolith path 2/3 done

i feel stupidly strong

[wicked plover]

that's great ^^

[limber pond]

is there an rf like build? i can only use 1 hand for a while so that would make me able to enjoy launch

[rough shuttle]

aaah another poe player haha

[wicked plover]

closest thing i can recommend is using cyclone
called warpath here

it's 1 button build so should suit you

[buoyant sinew]

there is a skill called Aura of Decay that is literally poison RF but it's terrible right now, one of the worst skills in the game, stay away until buffs

[wicked plover]

btw we get balance changes with 1.0, so who knows what will happen

[buoyant sinew]

almost everyone here is a PoE player lol

[vocal plank]

There is also Death seal.
It's generally mixed with lich for more damage and speed but it does work. I just don't think that Aura of Decay and Death Seal can be their own damage dealers like RF can.

[limber pond]

I only have 10.000+ hours in. do i count as a poe player than?

But thanks for the advice

[rough shuttle]

I don't know probably as a casual player.. I'm quite a noob player at 5.000+ hours.

[vocal plank]

2.5k

[rough shuttle]

I see.. soo like act8?

[limber pond]

2.5K hours is just checking out passive tree right? i think i am 3 hours into a wipe before i decided on what class to play

[vocal plank]

So I only have 2.5k hours in game but an easy 1-2k in PoB

[rough shuttle]

Aaah yes PoB the superior variant to the actual game

[rough shuttle]

At 5.000K you finally get res cap.

[limber pond]

god i miss the old days.... exp farming in fellshrine and docks

[rough shuttle]

Back when we didn't have soo much silly stuff.

[dapper swift]

The day we get it for LE as well, Build Planner on LEtools is cool and all but not the same

[modern crystal]

does this game have wasd movement?

[dapper swift]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1205212670442217544

[rough shuttle]

The day i can make a flicker strike build in LE?

[limber pond]

I would still prefer my afk build... just use cwdt's all over

[rough shuttle]

nah flicker all the way

[vocal plank]

I'll spend so much time perfecting builds. I have so many links in my personal dm of different builds that might or might not work

[limber pond]

The old voltaxic rift spark builds were awesome aswell

[stone imp]

Mine is already that for LE builds

[vocal plank]

I just don't have an account made for it and don't wanna for some reason

[vivid narwhal]

Hi! Probably a stupid question but will still ask. Are EA characters going to be wiped when 1.0 releases?

[dapper swift]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1187326924754788362

[vivid narwhal]

Thx!

[limber pond]

So its a good time to experiment now @vivid narwhal

[rough crystal]

Can someone briefly explain how can this helm have multishot arrow affix?

[wicked plover]

legendary crafting

you can check details int he ingame guide

[safe harness]

unique items can drop with "legendary potential" which is a number of affixes from an exalted item you can merge onto that item (randomly)

[rough crystal]

Ohh I think I got it, thanks!

[faint matrix]

hi guys, quick question on side quest rewards like points, does it move to a new account during 1.0 release ? or do we need to redo the side quest

[wicked plover]

it's bound to character

[storm blaze]

No
you need a passive from the skill tree to dual wield

Like acolyte doesn't have one for example

[dusky kite]

Twisted heart of Uh.. uh.. kheiros? is a very popular unqiue that actively converts current health to ward and encourages stacking leech, this is most likely what he was using.

[open sierra]

is this for base crit or just very low?

[desert tree]

Base crit

[open sierra]

Ty

[vocal plank]

% increased chance to crit: not bad
+X% crit chance: base crit

[open sierra]

[rough shuttle]

When it comes to the Runemaster builds. i noticed they all use "Runic Invocation" Though it looks like a lovely skill, I've been hating the fact i need to constantly hit 3 diferent skills to get the 3elemental combo for "Runic Invocation" to actually use the variant i want.. Is this something that you later fix in some way... or do you keep needing to hit those 3 abilities in order?

[storm blaze]

There is a node that makes it so that the 3 runes always are same element as your first 3 skills

In the order they are

[steel merlin]

almost no build that uses invocation for damage, uses three different skills to proc it

runebolt also lets you customize the runes you get from the bolts and in whhich order

[rough shuttle]

I see. so you end up picking nodes that make it so you don't need to keep spamming skills for the order.. But instead use runebolt. or the node mentioned above by nub?

[steel merlin]

yep, or just use single element invocation

triple fire is nice

triple lightning has big single target but is bugged for clear

[rough shuttle]

Mhm Fair enough.. i ended up leveling runemaster / bladedancer.. runemaster i stopped because i hated the triple ability need to proc.. but if that isn't the cast i might as well continue that over my bladedancer. (Both around lvl 40)

[rough shuttle]

Might there btw be anything else i should pay attention to with Runemaster? and the invocation?

[modern crystal]

what should I do with equipments I dont want to use? is it ok to sell them?
and is yellow always better than blue?

[vapid wedge]

how do I complete this quest?

smth is glowing here but idk how to complete it

[open sierra]

Kill boss and choose different answer when speaking to the souls after the fight

[subtle kindle]

if you dont want to use a specific invocation, use Cold-Fire-Cold

It's a big defensive buff

[candid spire]

which class is the strongest? speedrunning high dps etc

[subtle kindle]

runemaster

probably not on launch but right now 100%

[rough shuttle]

Well. i would love to use invocation.. its just i hated having to use specific skills to trigger it.. but hearing some asnwers in regard to being able to pick nodes / use bolts to trigger specific combinations without needing to use specific elements. (If this explanation makes sense at all)

[candid spire]

why not?

[subtle kindle]

yeah exactly

[subtle kindle]

there is ZERO chance this class survives the patch in its current state

it is the best in the game at everything

there's no shot it goes out on launch like this

[limber eagle]

i'd be shocked if it made it to launch in its current state tbh

[candid spire]

hmm

[barren kayak]

watch warlock and falcon be more broken 😄

[limber eagle]

falconer seems like the next broken class

[rough shuttle]

.. Finally find myself something that might be enjoyable (runemaster) and its expecting as some might say some major nerfs....

[barren kayak]

i just hope its something els than melee shadow dagger abuse

we already had that with bladedancer cmon

[limber eagle]

one day shaman will be on top

[subtle kindle]

so, frost wall/flame ward can cover 2/3 of your cold-fire-cold. if you use a cold spell then you're chilling. otherwise you can just use runebolt to get your runes before casting (it's annoying but better than having specific rotations)

[shell quartz]

Guys, is there clans or guild in game ?

[subtle kindle]

the main issue with runemaster is the defense

the class's core gameplay is still good and probably won't be nerfed

but the ward gen is FUCKED.

[rough shuttle]

Aka defensive capabilities will probably be lower / harder to achieve?

[subtle kindle]

i have an endgame runemaster, trust me, it's not okay to facetank every boss mechanic

[barren kayak]

Just deflate ward gain by like, 1000% and were there

[subtle kindle]

i think if they nuke frostguard the class is healthy

[rough shuttle]

Soo offensive will remain the same.. roughly.. though defensive stats will definitely be lower is what you are saying?

[subtle kindle]

150% retention and 15% dr is too much

i mean thats what i would do

im not the dev team of this game

[limber eagle]

rip lowlife druid if ward is nerfed to the ground

[subtle kindle]

i dont think ward in general needs a nerf

i think frostguard is too much, and maybe the glove LL mod needs a hit

but otherwise i think ward and health are in a healthy balance state

cleaver probably needs a rarity nerf too

make it same rarity as rav void and red ring and it's 100% healthy

[rough shuttle]

Well guess i will continue to play Runemaster then.. it doesn't sound all too bad according to what ya'll are saying..

[subtle kindle]

yeah dont stop playing your character just because it might get a hit to its faceroll capabilities

[limber eagle]

just play what you like, dont follow whats strongest

you'll get tired of the game following metas

[subtle kindle]

you probably want to require a little more skill than literally holding down your cast button to beat bosses anyway

[rough shuttle]

This is exactly what i meant, the rotation thing where i need to cast certain skills, i found annoying.. But if i can use runebolt to achieve the exact rotation i want everytime that makes this much more comfy to play

[subtle kindle]

which is what i was doing with my frost claw build by the end

[rough shuttle]

From what i read its just cast runebolt x3 and that gives you your runes? correct

[subtle kindle]

yeah exactly

[rough shuttle]

I also noticed another node that seemed to state it would repeat your last used one?

Is that something people use.. or is it only really runebolt?

[subtle kindle]

idk what rune youre talking about

you get a set invocation with the action bar node but im not sure about that node

[shell quartz]

Guys, is there clans or guild in game ?

[subtle kindle]

not to my knowledge

[shell quartz]

is there a lfg system ingame ?

i hate playing alone

[rough shuttle]

I was talking about Echomancy in the runebolt tree.

though from what you're saying its more common for people to use immutable order

[limber eagle]

they said like a year or so ago that guild and guild chat were a probably. idk how much that stance has changed since then tho

[steel merlin]

by the way you can trigger invocation with flame rush to bypass inmutable order cooldown

[storm blaze]

There's lfg chat in game

[shell quartz]

thanks

[rough shuttle]

It has a cooldown?

I thought it was like fire runebolt x3 and boom you got your runes and repeat..

[steel merlin]

runebolt doesnt need inmutable order

runebolt in its tree gets the runes you want

[shell quartz]

what is max lvl in last epoc and how long approx ittakes

[rough shuttle]

Now i'm confused.

[steel merlin]

100 and a lot of time, but doesnt unlock anything

[shell quartz]

there is content for lvl 100 or there is a breakpoint

[steel merlin]

these nodes

by default runebolt goes fire lightning cold

you canmake so it generates any combination in any order

so you dont need to use inmutable order + runebolt

[rough shuttle]

I see.. so it always fires them in a certain order.. I thought it had like 1 base element and it just fired that.... So by picking certain notes i can turn it into any combination i might desire.

[steel merlin]

another option is to use these

[subtle kindle]

you have content for your build until you run out of gear to get. then you probably have sick items for like 5 new builds so you can go play those

[candid spire]

why almost everyone in ladder are lich class? is lich strong?

[sonic saddle]

ward in general definitely needs a nerf. there's a whole bunch of ward generation methods combined with int stacking/frostbite shackles that generate way too much ward

[sonic saddle]

one very broken build

[subtle kindle]

lich has a spammable cheat death that makes it very good for deep deep arena

[candid spire]

is it gonna get nerfed in 1.0?

[sonic saddle]

it's gonna get -dismantled- in 1.0, it only functions because of bugs

[subtle kindle]

i mean i definitely think shackles are absurd for ward gen as someone abusing a frostbite runemaster build

[barren kayak]

Ward in generel deff needs nerf, it overshadows life like hell, even at 3.5k life i dont feel healthy...

[subtle kindle]

it literally gave me 4k ward to just put them on

[steel merlin]

several bugs in a trenchcoat

[candid spire]

lmao

what character should i play then

[steel merlin]

there are more bugs than intended interactions in that build+

[candid spire]

soemthing strong and stable

[subtle kindle]

paladin probably

[sonic saddle]

shackles are absurd, but so is just int stacking, with just cleaver solution my low life BM can get enough EHP to cruise to 1k corr

[candid spire]

idk about that

[subtle kindle]

yeah int is probably in too good of a place right now

and with warlock also positioning to want to stack int

there's problems brewing there

[steel merlin]

wouldnt be surprised if ward retention formula gets nerfed

[subtle kindle]

i mean i think there's too much retention in the game generally

so yeah probably easier to nerf the decay formula than to nerf every source of retention

[rough shuttle]

I see how Immutable order would give me my cycle of 3. But how Epilogue and Scrivener's Haste might give me my 3 rune's i don't see

[steel merlin]

the combination of the three

[rough shuttle]

Aah i see.

[subtle kindle]

basically when you flame rush you instantly get your runes

[steel merlin]

this is the node right before inmutable order, flame rush bypasses its cd because it isn't direct cast

[subtle kindle]

i prefer the feel of teleport but flame rush is definitely the lazy way to do your runes

[rough shuttle]

So instead of using something like bolts you make use of flame rush which pretty much just means "Tap flame rush" use invocation with the 3 runes.. Without needing to use anything else?

[subtle kindle]

you do need to hold it for a little bit

[steel merlin]

ye

[subtle kindle]

but holding also makes you go further

so its not like there's a complete downside there

[steel merlin]

its like hoooooold bam hooooold bam

[remote mirage]

is there a character slot limit? and if there is, is it for account or cycle?

[rough shuttle]

That sounds kinda broken.. Movement + explosion at every stop

[sonic saddle]

there's too many good ward generation methods combined with ward retention sources being too good.

low life, advent, twisted heart, ward on crit and boardmans are all great ways of gaining life

[subtle kindle]

i mean they dont wanna hear the twisted heart truth

[steel merlin]

you do get limited by flame rush cd though

[subtle kindle]

(turn the strength into a different attribute)

[rough shuttle]

Whats the CD?

[steel merlin]

the max i managed to reduce it is 1.5sec, dunno whats the base

3.5

[sonic saddle]

hell even if you nerfed all of those i even think scaling potion ward gen might be a viable approach if ward retention stays untouched

[subtle kindle]

i think generation is fine if you turn down low life and twisted heart a bit

but retention is the culprit 100%

combined with a ton of super accessible damage reduction

[steel merlin]

cfc makes no sense

[rough shuttle]

I think i might just first start out by using runebolt. and see where i go from there.. Either stick with it or try other stuff like frost claw

[subtle kindle]

yeah cfc should be deleted

[sonic saddle]

eeeeeh, damage reduction doesn't -generally- explain why ward is so much better than health

[subtle kindle]

who approved that skill holy shit

[rough shuttle]

Whats cfc?

[subtle kindle]

ellowyn's frostguard

its an invocation

[rough shuttle]

aah cfc Cold fire Cold

[subtle kindle]

if you dont have another invocation you use it because it's Broken

[candid spire]

guys what happens if i defeat that boss? it will change the mono?

[subtle kindle]

15% dr, 100% ward retention and a big burst of ward

[rough shuttle]

still wrapping my head around all the shortcuts

[sonic saddle]

oh, flame ward^2

[candid spire]

and it will reset corruption?

[rough shuttle]

I knew about that one.. it seemed scuffed in keeping me alive

[subtle kindle]

no, it resets stability

[sonic saddle]

jesus

that's rediculous

[subtle kindle]

green node is not a boss

it just turns down your corruption

[candid spire]

what about corruption

[rough shuttle]

But like.. every time i just used invocation alone (Without any runes) it seemed to just throw ward at me

[steel merlin]

mage also ahs easy access to the lightning damage reduction thing

[sonic saddle]

yes

[candid spire]

no im talking about 3rd quest not the green node

[subtle kindle]

wait frostguard is 30% dr???

dude holy fuck this skill

[sonic saddle]

that's what invocation does with no ruens

[sonic saddle]

and people complain about aspect of the boar

[subtle kindle]

no corruption change

aotb is fine because the devs have decided damage reduction is something every class gets

frostguard is cooked because it requires zero actual character sacrifices

aside from having a cold skill on your bar

[severe fjord]

you should not care about corruption until you are in empowered monoliths

[sonic saddle]

eh i think AotB is too strong. but those people saying nerfing it removes BM tax are

[candid spire]

kk

[sonic saddle]

it'll still be DR

you're still gonna take it

[steel merlin]

you can also trigger this with flame rush, because why not have all in same class

[candid spire]

im gonna try to stop playing last epoch for now till 1.0

[sonic saddle]

the fuck

[candid spire]

then start warlock or falcon

[steel merlin]

i have a build that has all these things and can tank t3 julra first slam, havent tired t4 yet though

[subtle kindle]

my runemaster can tank t4

[steel merlin]

runemaster is silly

[subtle kindle]

but i use nova helm

[steel merlin]

same

[subtle kindle]

i believe 85k ehp is all you need to tank t4

i have ~90k

[sonic saddle]

so you're telling me that RM gets flame ward for 70% hit dr, Reowyn's for 30% DR and lightning aegis for 25% dr
