[steel merlin]

oh right i dont need flame ward to tank julra

forgot about it

[desert tree]

Yep

[sonic saddle]

what the actual fuck

like

flame ward shouldn't be giving 70% hit dr to start with

play

[steel merlin]

on top fo that runemaster has the stupid ward generation that gives muuuuuuch more ward than youll ever have life

[sonic saddle]

game's fun

[subtle kindle]

i think runemaster is the majority of the problem with ward

[modern crystal]

can I change this?

[sonic saddle]

to a degree? but that's because RM is overwhelmingly busted

[steel merlin]

cant equip shoes to the icon sorry

[subtle kindle]

after that all you really need to do is nerf low life on gloves and make cleaver a t0 and it's PROBABLY okay

[sonic saddle]

t0?

[steel merlin]

kit you are asking for bastion

[subtle kindle]

as in, rav void/red ring rarity

[sonic saddle]

that's lame

[steel merlin]

bastion management was not good

[modern crystal]

can I change it to other skill?

[subtle kindle]

yeah but bastion isnt an item anymore

[sonic saddle]

no

[subtle kindle]

i dont want cleaver to be that

[sonic saddle]

eeeeh, my build is using it

[steel merlin]

you can make it cast one of the skills on your bar, but not another extra skill

[subtle kindle]

maybe nerfing retention is the only way to keep that item in the game as it is

[sonic saddle]

the problem with it is that they nerfed it's LPL at the same time

if bastion had lower LPL then it'd be fine

[candid spire]

is thorn totem gonna get nerfed too?

[subtle kindle]

thorn totem is probably fine right now

[sonic saddle]

we don't know

[subtle kindle]

its not exactly "the best build"

and they want shaman to have powerful builds with the rework

so i imagine they'll keep it relatively untouched

[sonic saddle]

thorn totem mainly just follows the mantra of "range is a defensive mechanic" to the maximum

[subtle kindle]

but until we get notes then who knows

[candid spire]

hmm

[surreal verge]

20 for online account wide, no limit offline

[modern crystal]

Ok

[sonic saddle]

it's very hard to say what's getting nerfed outside of the very blatantly OP stuff

[steel merlin]

considerign the "rework" is a skill rework and a skill replacement, the viability of thorn totem has no relation to it

[subtle kindle]

yeah like aside from runemaster i have no idea whats getting hit

[sonic saddle]

ward, runemaster, ladle

[subtle kindle]

nothing else really needs it a huge amount

[sonic saddle]

ladle needs it

[subtle kindle]

im coping that ladle will be fine but they probably have to do something about the item

[candid spire]

lich

[subtle kindle]

well lich is getting bugfixed

[sonic saddle]

that one lich build based on bugs yes

[subtle kindle]

thats a different thing

[sonic saddle]

not lich in general tho

[surreal verge]

Lich has no reason to get hit except the bug build

[steel merlin]

ah squirrels will lose half their daamge

[candid spire]

still counts tho

[sonic saddle]

if anything lich in general is kinda subpar

[sonic saddle]

HAH

i'd laugh tbh

[steel merlin]

i mean

they deal double right now because they are bugged

[sonic saddle]

squirrels are VERY overrated

oh

neat

[candid spire]

What do yall think about squirrel build

[sonic saddle]

crazy boss killer, kinda meh otherwise

[subtle kindle]

squirrels are a fun build but if they lose half their dps then they might end up being just ok

[sonic saddle]

doesn't push corr well, doesn't do arena well

[steel merlin]

that line isnt working currently

[candid spire]

Uhhh

[sonic saddle]

people kinda sell them as the be-all-end-all BM build when they really aren't

[dusky kite]

the problem with ward is that 99% of ward generation effects in the game are either balanced or useless, and a few outliers (a lot of them in the rm tree/skills) are problematic. It's not a problem of ward retention or ward gen in global, it's a problem of LL uniques, twisted heart, frostguard and a few rm passives

[sonic saddle]

scorpion and EQ are both better BM builds overall

than squirrels

[dusky kite]

we have zero idea what the changes will be but it's reasonable to assume that it will still be strong af, just take a look at how much (aka, how little) they nerfed druid

[subtle kindle]

my opinion is that they will leave runemaster untouched offensively

[sonic saddle]

sabertooth as well

[subtle kindle]

but they have to gut frostguard and the defenses generally

[sonic saddle]

tho it's not as good as scorp/EQ

[subtle kindle]

its so obviously too much

[steel merlin]

looking at falconer and warlock numbers it seems devs just want to increase the overall power level

[subtle kindle]

i mean im okay with power going up

[sonic saddle]

just cos having good clear and decent boss killing > having great boss killing and meh clear

[subtle kindle]

warlock looks super fun and overloaded in the same way runemaster is

if they give the old classes a touch up to raise them to that level then i think it's a healthy state for the game

[sonic saddle]

EHG seems to be taking the "release strong, nerf down" approach

to new stuff these days

[subtle kindle]

i mean, it drives people to try the new stuff

[sonic saddle]

yeah not saying it's a bad way to do it

it's just

a way

🤷

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

[dusky kite]

cleaver is a terrible design and it's alarming that it came out so recently with no acknowledgement of its fundamental issues. That said, a lot of uniques released recently are very problematic designs that are perhaps one interaction away from being completely busted. This on top of the general dominance of uniques as far as this game's class, skill and combat design goes.

[sonic saddle]

i mean

[steel merlin]

why is cleaver terrible design

[sonic saddle]

i think cleaver is overly pushed because it does too much with all of its modifiers, but i don't think the int = str thing is inherently broken.

it's problematic because of the environment it exists in, where there is a generically strong ward generation mechanic accessible to it, plus a strong supplementary ward retention source

[steel merlin]

aside from low life primalist how many cleaver builds are running around?

[sonic saddle]

giving primalist (and theoretically but not practically sentinal) access to ward is kinda fine?

[candid pagoda]

Why i have this, i spend 5 points in marksman

[steel merlin]

the only problem i see with ll primalist and bladedancer is that their ll passives are clearly intended for a game without ward

[surreal verge]

It’s seperate from the passive tree, it’s tied to your char level

[steel merlin]

in a "oh shit im going down" way

or playing with endurance

[sonic saddle]

it's just that the ward retention from int and shackles is doing too much, plus low life generates too much ward due to the introduction of the experimental glove affix

[sonic saddle]

nah, that passive can co-exist with ward just fine if low life was generating like, 3-4k ward

[dusky kite]

they also die to a sneeze in higher corruption, almost as bad as crows

[steel merlin]

deaths door is busted with 3k ward

[sonic saddle]

well, the primalist one at least

i mean

[dusky kite]

who would have guessed that low health passives that were designed for health based builds will be busted in LL ward builds that enable them at all times at no opportunity cost?

[sonic saddle]

if you're only generating 3-4k ward with primalist low life then sustain becomes a big issue

[steel merlin]

if they want to implement these passives id rather they add "if you are ll and have less ward than life" conditional than limit too much ward options for offclass

[sonic saddle]

the way i look at it is that (for primalist at least), low life should have an EHP advantage over life builds

because they pay for it in sustain

[dusky kite]

What's the question here mate? You need to put any skill into one of the specialization slots to invest in its tree if it's that

[candid pagoda]

ye i found solution

[sonic saddle]

but the problem is ward generation/retention is so out of whack that you generate so much ward and have such a massive EHP advantage the pros/cons are moot

you still have solid enough sustain and and you have like nigh on triple the EHP

[dusky kite]

Well, of course everything exists in context, but as long as ward-based items are not restricted to the primary int classes, any effect that generously pours out int at little to no investment is going to be a problem

I personally don't see any reason why primalist ward builds should be a thing in the first place, but opinions vary on this

[sonic saddle]

i don't see a reason why they -shouldn't- be

be real, berserker node barely functions beyond a "just in case" DR without low life ward

[dusky kite]

Class theme and identity, but I know these concepts are utterly alien to poe arpg players so you don't have to argue with me on this

[steel merlin]

its a pity that primalist has so much endurance stuff that coudl work with life ll with better mechanics

[sonic saddle]

you can't do an endurance beserker build

it doesn't work

[steel merlin]

it doesnt work because berserker dr doesnt apply until you are ll i know

[sonic saddle]

no that's not what i mean

i mean that there's no practical way to both sustain and stay low life without low life ward

[dusky kite]

the real issue here is that the player's health bar is just extremely tiny in this game. You can both lose and replenish it instantly or damn close to it

Imagine if you could stay, say, for 10 seconds at around 35% health while still having meaningful interactions with your skills, enemy damage, etc

[sonic saddle]

plus, even if you do stay low life

[dusky kite]

But no you just top off your entire health bar in a second from lifesteal

[steel merlin]

if berserker dr applied like endurance then your dr in ll would be so much higher than your normal dr that youd spend most time in ll

[sonic saddle]

you are lower EHP

[dusky kite]

And then one mob farts vaguely in your direction and you are back to 10%

[sonic saddle]

than a regular life build

actually i'ma rescind that point

you're doing it for the doubly damage

so paying in EHP is reasonable

[flint merlin]

Hey, got a question about crafting if there is anyone who can explain me a little please.
Essentially I see a lot of end game items with 5 affixes which I am assuming one of them is sealed, is the idea that you find/craft item with 4 good affixes, then take one up to tier 4 and seal and hope it works and then craft the last one for whatever you need?

[steel merlin]

well, thats why its called berserker

[sonic saddle]

generally no

for the most part you seal a tier 1-2 affix to remove it from the prefix or suffix slot

to put an affix you actually want on there

getting a beneficial affix into the sealed slot is rare outside of experimental affixes which are a special mechanic

[barren kayak]

you would never aim to seal a T4 lol

[dusky kite]

eh kinda true but more often than not trying to remove a bad affix via sealing will cost too much fp and have reasonable chance to fail, so you are just turning a bad item into an even worse one

[barren kayak]

the chance is so low

[sonic saddle]

and even then, you generally look to only get tier 1/2 of that affix

[steel merlin]

better to seal than chaos if t1

[flint merlin]

ok, so seal t1-t2 and if its beneficial for build then it's a bonus ye?

[barren kayak]

Yeah

[sonic saddle]

maybe a +skill affix, the last little bit of some stat to cap it

[sonic saddle]

pretty much

[barren kayak]

T1-2 seal 3-4 chaos

[sonic saddle]

an extreme late game example

[barren kayak]

You can abselutely seal any T1/2 to save a decent item early "late"

[sonic saddle]

is me trying to get a T1 critical avoid seal on a piece of gear so i can cap critical avoid with an idol + sealed affix + blessing/t7 affix, rather than a T5 affix and blessing/t7 affix

[barren kayak]

that sounds resonable

[sonic saddle]

still a lot of farming

cos i'm trying to get that seal on specific bases with a specific exalted affix

[flint merlin]

hmm, ok, I have just reached empowered monos and working out and a gear what i need to go further, and seen it on maxroll builds that they got all items with 5 affixes and the 5th is is pretty much useful on all of them

[sonic saddle]

maxroll's "bis" gear is

ignore it

[steel merlin]

maxroll is stupidly optimistic about gear

[sonic saddle]

and also sometimes just stupid

stupidly optimistic but also not necessarily correct

[barren kayak]

Also its increbly unlikely to drop

[sonic saddle]

...that's the "stupidly optimistic" bit

[surreal verge]

You don’t get good equipment from dropping anyway

You get it from crafting-

[dusky kite]

well at least they stopped putting 3-4 lp twisted hearts into every build

[flint merlin]

I dunno, just trying to find my way around here, like I understand how the scaling works a little and working my way around it, like my swipe druid atm is 8.3k dps on swipe and I can see if piece is upgrading it

[sonic saddle]

hey i've gotten T20s from drops

it can happen :L

[sonic saddle]

ignore the tooltip dps

it lies to your face

[flint merlin]

hmm, I thought the idea is drop some decent exalted item and craft on it, isn't it?

[sonic saddle]

yes

[dusky kite]

the tooltip can be helpful in deciding on item upgrades every time, about 5% of the time

[sonic saddle]

judge damage increase by checking it against actual enemies and seeing if you can tell

if you can't, the dps change did not matter

[steel merlin]

oh they also post biggest rolls of uniques too

[sonic saddle]

and you should judge the items based on other things

[flint merlin]

so what's the best way to work on your character, use lastepochtools and go from there to determine how you want to progress?

[steel merlin]

thats a good way

[sonic saddle]

lastepochtools build planner is the best around

at present

it's kinda likely that it will be overtaken at some point as dammit (the website owner) has more on his plate than just the build planner

but for now it is the best and mostuseful one

[split sable]

say i want to farm certain unique bow from echo, luckily i got the most rare one, but i want to farm another unique, can we somehow restart the echo? coz rn i can't go back to the specific " Uniquer reward bow ", its said completed

[dusky kite]

see, totally an improvement:

[sonic saddle]

ignoring the rolls i would consider that farmable

...ignoring the rolls

[quick crown]

does the "100% less damage taken on block" mean the damage gets completely nullified? or does it just reduce it by half?

[sonic saddle]

nullified!

the shield is bad don't use it

[surreal verge]

Find another one-

[split sable]

is there a way to reset echo? to farm specific unique one

[quick crown]

why not? if i can get 100% block chance despite the drawback i should be immortal

[dusky kite]

lies and propaganda from the bastion cradle stans

[split sable]

yea but can we reset the echo? so i can go into that same echo so guaranteed unique bow every run

[sonic saddle]

see, that's the thing...

[surreal verge]

There’s a node that lets you do so, but it’s petty rare

[sonic saddle]

ya can't

[surreal verge]

Don’t expect to find more than 1 per monolith reset

[sonic saddle]

no class can max block chance with that shield

[split sable]

fuck so i gotta get it from common drops

ty for the help @surreal verge

[runic egret]

Guys i have a question, so im doing a rogue marksman crit/fire build for hail of arrows, its pretty strong but i was looking at what i would go for as an endgame gg build but now i see that there issnt really any unique bow that fits my build wich is verry sad, the only one i could find is "hell reach" but this bow seems super bad stats wise only 3 modifiers and low base bow dmg, is there another bow comming for this or will this get buffed? Any recomendions?

[surreal verge]

I don’t think you run a unique in that build as a BiS

[sonic saddle]

the only class that has solid block chance steroids is very lacking in other DR so can't afford to have unreliable defensive layers

[surreal verge]

Or maybe even then, it might be a lp4 hells reach

[runic egret]

Yhea the bow i have now is just a rare with flat fire, crit and bow dmg but it would be fun to build something with legendary pontential i guess hell reach with 4 LP could be good in combination with a good exiled bow idk

[sonic saddle]

oh another thing, block doesn't catch DoT at all

blocked hits still apply ailments and DoT pools/cones/beams will ignore it

[flint merlin]

Ok, so I am looking at the lastepochtools, imported my char etc, can see stats, however for my example they show up stats when you are in human form not werebear, and also can't see anywhere numbers to compare whether an item would be dps upgrade for me or not, am I missing something?

[sonic saddle]

and DoT's are often some of the more dangerous stuff in the game

[surreal verge]

For werebear:there might be a buff tab that can help you.
For dps:it’s kinda knowledge based, it helps you pen and paper all the different numbers into a easy to read format for you to track. There’s no dps calculator

[dusky kite]

just use the anvil stance 4head

worse than boar

comes with a -25% damage steroid

costs 2 more points

[dusky kite]

le tools is not a fully fledged simulator, so it doesn't have full support for all emergent stats and builds. It does have a few skills' calculation implemented though

[flint merlin]

Ah ok, so essentially it's just stats calculator for %

But the question is how do you determine whether a plan you have will be upgrade in regards of dps for you character, just put it on and hop in to some echo and watch what's happening?

[dusty token]

will there be a ladder start on release day?

[desert tree]

Yes

[flint merlin]

Just as an example, I have got this item in game:

And the tooltip of swipe says its 8.2k dps

And if I replace it with this the tooltip goes to 8.9k, is that something what is not reliable to look at?

[surreal verge]

Tooltip dps is a lying bastard

[flint merlin]

Fair enough, but in that case how do I determine which item is better for the build?

[gritty frigate]

Why does my dos say 3k but I’m doing 100 to monsters

[cedar locust]

😆

[sonic saddle]

You hit enemies and see if you can tell the difference

[surreal verge]

See above. Tooltip dps is a lying bastard

[sonic saddle]

If one is notably better, consider it an upgrade dps wise, if you can't see a difference then ignore dps for the purposes of judging between the two given the current state of your build

[steel merlin]

@neon roost that "conversation" was questions and answers, sure it could have been asked here but there is no problem if it happens in devs as long as it is just questions and answers

[quick crown]

the Storm totem skill feels bugged, if you place the totem down before an enemy spawns it wont attack the enemy after it spawns, its like it only runs a single check for enemies and if it comes up none it will just sit there chillin' until it despawns

is this a known bug?

[steel merlin]

yes

[sonic saddle]

Known totem bug

[dusty token]

will there be any special content in ladder only? or is it just a race?

[quick crown]

ok, good, hopefully it gets fixed in 1.0

[steel merlin]

triple lightning invocation has a related bug with targeting

[quick crown]

for the first two seasons i heard there wont be any exlusive content

[dusty token]

ok thank you then i will continue leveling my bladedancer

[sinful wedge]

is there any way to display the active ranges for an item without pressing down on the 2 buttons all the time

[gritty frigate]

Who’s playing on a hand held

[sinful wedge]

this

[toxic echo]

you can auto compare, but you still gotta press stuff for the rolls to show

[sinful wedge]

do u know if this will be a feature in the full game

[steel merlin]

there are ui changes, we dont know what is changed until at least patch notes

[toxic echo]

no idea whats coming in 9 days, no

[wicked plover]

muffin said its gonna be lit

:^)

[faint cape]

Like Eagles said, if you turn on auto compare, then viewing roll ranges becomes just Alt rather than Ctrl+Alt

[sinful wedge]

yea this is fine for now

thanks

[pastel prawn]

Im playing the Shaman right now and im wondering if Eterra´s Blessing damage buff works on Storm Totem? I see the animation that makes the Totem bigger but dont notice any uptick in damage

Cause if im understanding the spell tags right it should work

[wicked plover]

shaman gets a non-overhaul on most of his stuff with next weeks patch so idk if you wanna wait for that

just a disclaimer

[steel merlin]

no big overhaul to shaman

[surreal verge]

But on paper, it should since totems are a subset of minions

[wicked plover]

or rebalance or whatever you wanna call it

[steel merlin]

rework to a skill, replacement of a skill and thats it

maybe soooome changes to something else but shaman full rework is scheduled for later

[faint cape]

yep, this - shaman will still need a 5th skill etc. too

there will allegedly be a decently sized balance pass in the patch, we'll see how much it touches shaman aside from the two new skills

[pastel prawn]

yeah thats fair i was just curious if i did something wrong or there was a weird interaction in the game that was a bit off, will probably wait for the 1.0 then to continue playing Shaman and see what changes

[clear sand]

But Mike said the passive tree was changing

[toxic echo]

mildly

not a full rework of the tree

its not goint to look like the new trees with all the extra 5 point bonuses

[faint cape]

fwiw, it should work, but 100% increased damage is nothing earth shattering since it's additive to all other damage increases

[clear sand]

Oh yeah, but even a mildly rework is gonna be refreshing enough and depending on what they do is gonna feel like a totally new class

There's some bad bad passives there

[toxic echo]

for sure

[faint cape]

Yeah, shaman has spellblade syndrome, but worse. A third of its tree is devoted to a worthless proc skill

they could reduce the cooldown on the lightnings to 1s and it'd probably still be worthless

[clear sand]

I think we're gonna be surprised when the patch hits

[barren kayak]

is the weaver cradle shield good?

[faint cape]

yes

[clear sand]

Best shield right now

[faint cape]

Probably yeah, they've taken the stance of intentionally trying to set low expectations, and I'm here for it

[barren kayak]

Uncapped resistence is resistence you have above the cap right?

[clear sand]

We heard from muffin "every class is being touched from lightly changes to complete overhaul" I got a screenshot here

[surreal verge]

Uncapped means all.

[faint cape]

Total resist, as if there was no cap

[surreal verge]

(Or just take the bigger number)

[steel merlin]

Resistance over the cap would be "overcapped"

[toxic echo]

w/e it shows in the ( )

[steel merlin]

Not sure if theres overcapped stuff in this game

[dawn orbit]

is the dps on a skill trustable? i had an item which shred armor and it does not increase dmg a diffrent item with void penetration increase it

[steel merlin]

Nope not trustable

[dawn orbit]

is there a way as a newbie how i can compare items and know which is better?

[toxic echo]

hit the dummies in champions gate

[steel merlin]

Or ask here I guess

[hidden ember]

How sell 1 milion copy and in steam just have max 40k peak , dnt understand u have another launcher or something ❔

[barren kayak]

is there a way to take a screenshot of an item? whenever i hit print screen nothing happens...

[toxic echo]

there was an old standalone launcher, yes. not anymore tho

lots of people played a while ago, and are waiting for 1.0

[hidden ember]

So... old players can still palying with old launcher_

[toxic echo]

no. i said not anymore though

[desert tree]

Windows+Shift+S

[hidden ember]

You tell me that now everyone plays on Steam and out of 1 million only 40k entered

[barren kayak]

40k peak is concurrent

[hidden ember]

40k max peak

[surreal verge]

I’m someone who has the game but isn’t currently playing until 1.0

[hidden ember]

i know waiting 1.0 ... but all players palying with steam and max peak its 40k when u sell 1 milion copy-s ... kekw

[toxic echo]

im sorry this is hard for you to understand

[hidden ember]

Why are they angry, I'm just asking, it's very strange

[toxic echo]

it'll be ok tho

1.0 is 9 days away

[surreal verge]

See: cod

[hidden ember]

Although everyone changed their launcher and everyone is waiting for 1.0 because it only reached 40 thousand people xD. ❔

[barren kayak]

Many many people buy way before they play

[surreal verge]

How the hell do they sell so much but have low ass players

[hidden ember]

That's why I'm asking... How did they sell 1 million copies and only reach a peak of 40k players, even though they used the old launcher before?

[red mortar]

Some players play the game like a regular rpg , they do the campaign once and that's it.

[hidden ember]

But 1milion lol

[red mortar]

That's the peak of simultaneous online player i suppose so it's not incompatible with a 1 million copies sold in a few years.

[barren kayak]

have any content creator created and indept endgame++ guide for squirrel BM? cant seem to locate one that is not a copy of icy/maxroll

[desert tree]

Cursedboy has a nice one

[barren kayak]

il check it out

[hidden ember]

oh okay aigh

[desert tree]

But for a crit version you will probably end up with Necrotic Cold Squirrels

[boreal kestrel]

hey im trying to get the void resistance blessing from the lvl 66 monolith, ive killed the boss about 6 times and have yet to see it, am i just unlucky? or am i missing some something here?

[desert tree]

https://tenor.com/view/destiny-gif-21994457

[toxic echo]

6 isnt even that much really

[boreal kestrel]

ok so just keep farming and it will drop?

[toxic echo]

that one is a 1/3 chance too. so while unlucky, not unheard of

yes, eventually you will get it

[boreal kestrel]

awesome ty

also id appreciate some insight on my current strategy

im lvl 87, grinding to empowered monos, but im starting to take big dmg, on hc

so im trying to get all resistacne blessings

so i can regear and have one less resistance affix

and mroe health/ward

[wicked plover]

sounds like a good plan ^^ stay safe 😄

[toxic echo]

sounds fine. are you crit avoid capped tho?

[boreal kestrel]

yeah, but juggling crit avoidance has me using the mystic tier gear

so i wanted to switch to wand/catalyst

and switch to reduced bonus crit dmg instead

[toxic echo]

EoC has 2 good blessings, all res and crit avoid. so as long as you have a plan to stay avoid capped, your idea seems fine

that works as well

[boreal kestrel]

gaspar in the last ruin was a tough fight for me, so ever since beating him ive been wanting to regear

[zenith thunder]

Hi everyone. The character window shows damage percentages but how do I know the real number to be able to calculate these percentages?

[toxic echo]

math

the c menu is known to be a bit outdated and missing some information

[boreal kestrel]

also, when i regear, would it be betterto stack dmg on my wand/cata or crit? im playing hydra

[zenith thunder]

I have a unique item with a physical damage attribute that does not add to any attribute. I don't know if it's a bug.

[wicked plover]

if all you are looking for is stat calculation you can checkout the tooltip of your skill

it is missing every buff you get during combat and disregardign other staff, but it throws all your dmg stats on a skill for a very rough outline

[wicked plover]

hover over your skill and check the skill tag at the bottom, that will tell you how to scale it

[wicked plover]

if you are going for crits you will want some base crit chance somewhere

[halcyon fjord]

Hello, does anyone know if we are going to get constellation skins for all the weapon types or just the five in game at the moment?

[toxic echo]

nothing has been said about any skins/MTX

[halcyon fjord]

Thank you!

[tardy hinge]

is there a way to remove lvl requirement of a weapon to give to an alt for easy leveling?

[ancient pasture]

If I have 64/778 HP because of ward stacking, does endurance effect apply to my remaining health AND ward?

[wicked plover]

there are uniques designed for this with no lvl requirement

[wicked plover]

only health

[dusky kite]

you could remove it entirely at baseline and it would still be very meh at best

[halcyon fjord]

I was talking about theses if it wasn't clear.

[dusky kite]

dis your first game on steam? A good 50%-80% of people buying games don't launch them even a single time, on average

[surreal verge]

No info

[cedar locust]

I believe these were Kickstarter rewards correct?

[halcyon fjord]

Yeah, I was looking at the ks and it didnt say how many we were getting so i was looking for clarification.

[cedar locust]

I can ask for you 🙂

[shell quartz]

can last epoc be played wit hcontroller ?

[halcyon fjord]

Wow thanks you rock!

[wicked plover]

yes

[shell quartz]

fully ? or partial

[dusky kite]

it's not officially supported. There are issues

[toxic echo]

targetting and menuing are a bit rough. but more support is coming in 1.0 for controllers

[silent pagoda]

hi where should i go for this quest? the map shows its at my place but i cant finish it

[wicked plover]

you can make your own ingame, its very straightforward

[cedar locust]

Asked our MTX guy! Though might need a few hours for them to come online 🙂

[cedar locust]

You have to explore the map to find the temple. I don't think the quest marker leads you to it, just the right map

[wicked plover]

if you want to recolor each rarity you need to make a rule for each one seperately

[dawn orbit]

When i use a Temporal Sanctum Key to make the dungeon. And i dont want to make a legendary. Is this a wasted key or does i only need to do it once to unlock legendary crafting?

[wicked plover]

you can farm exalts in the dungeon if you wanna do that

[toxic echo]

its not specifically a waste if you are farming exalts or farming julra gear

keys arent super rare anyways

[dawn orbit]

so when i just want to see all content i can use it without regret

and dont need to keep it for later

[wicked plover]

yea

you get enough keys, dont sweat it

[rustic breach]

what is the highest level we can reach

[wicked plover]

100

[rustic breach]

ok thanks

[dusky kite]

you need 1 key for each legendary item you want to make, but obviously the dungeon has other rewards too (mainly at higher tiers)

[wicked plover]

nah

[toxic echo]

only in a few select cases of unlocking monolith progression

and paying 100k for a door to be opened

[rough shuttle]

Great.. that means me just spamming "next" wasn't an issue

[wicked plover]

there are no narrative choices like bg3, i assume that's what they were asking for

[toxic echo]

bugged

[wicked plover]

bugged currently, cant remove, only replace

[vapid wedge]

How does one skip campaign on their alt? I seen dungeon keys but I don't really understand

[faint cape]

You can't do a full skip, the dungeons just are shortcuts

The main thing you need from campaign is passives and idol slots, after you get all those you can just go to monos (or even before, if you want)

[distant compass]

where does it say "something... when your intelligence equals your attunement" ?)

[toxic echo]

there is a relic that casts a spell on hit with that wording

[distant compass]

yea remember now ty)

Ucenui's Sphere gives 3 water orbs

[hollow root]

Is an Acolyte that focuses on summoning Minions, and a secondary focus on weakening enemies good enough for the later game, and/or should I wait for the release of the new specialization? (otherwise I was going for necromancer)

[toxic echo]

its fine for late game

[hollow root]

Is a minion Focused Sentinel a realistic playstyle? (as there is the Forgemaster thing, IIRC that lets them summon some minions)

[near path]

Is it playable? Yes. Would anyone recommend it? No.

[desert tree]

Manifest Armor is good

Forged Weapons are quite niche

[toxic echo]

both are a bit slow...but playable

[near path]

It's good at literally just boss killing, and "good" is stretching it, it's just the cheapest Julra killer

[hollow root]

manifest armor was what i was thinking of really focusing on
with the Forged weapons as a secondary thing, and the one skill that can summon swords as my default attack

[desert tree]

Its has a few builds, one is even decent for clearing

[near path]

If you're dead set on playing FG then at least MA is non-meme, so there is that

I would really not recommend it though

[wicked plover]

you can make anything work in the game if you put some thought and effort into it
if you wanna try smth out just go for it

[hollow root]

I tried the Primalist as a minion based character and I was kinda wanting to try out the other classes, but I don't like playing non-minin type characters (because I lack the reaction speed for other class types anymore)

[near path]

Beastmaster is exponentially better than FG in almost every way

[hollow root]

kinda, but then there are points where you need to be good enough to progress, like killing Lagon seems like there is a minimum in quality to get past (am aware that that is a bit later in the game, but its the farthest I got on my own, as a Primalist)

[wicked plover]

you wont get stuck on lagoon because of your build
it will be mostly your gear/lack of defenses and lack of mechanical knowledge of the fight
its the first checkpoint where people get tested really

[hollow root]

is it too reliant on specific gear modifiers, or just does it not have enough damage/survivability?

[near path]

FG just sucks, unfortunately. Bad passive tree, bad mana management, bad damage multis on most skills, bad qol

It is objectively the worst class in the game right now, and while EHG are aware that it's in a bad spot it'll take a while to fix

It's not like you can't make it work at all

But it requires jumping through a LOT of hoops for very little gain

[hollow root]

ah, I fought as a level 60+ Primalist that had 4 minions, Frenzy totem, and Warcry totem focused on buffs and healing (minions were 2 wolves, the raptor, the scorpion, that focused mostly on doing bleed and poison as well as getting buffs from the wolves and my other 2 skills)
but it killed me once, and it didn't seem like I was doing very good in the battle, although I may have barely won in my second try

[peak oracle]

if i master warlock, can i put as many points as i want into lich/necro trees? But just cant pass the halfway mark for second half of skills/passive?

[hollow root]

pretty sure thats right, but you won't want to put the points in the other classes as much as your chosen mastery, pretty sure

[wicked plover]

theoretically yes

[sinful laurel]

If it helps, I have a marksman with 0 actual points in marksman

[rough shuttle]

Wut

[hollow root]

does it work out ok, even like that?
as I was thinking of doing something like that for my Beastmaster Primalist, but it seemed kinda inefficient

[sinful laurel]

I mean it's for one very specific build, but yes

[barren kayak]

I'm getting tired of one taps with full defensive on t4 bosses 😅

[wicked plover]

dont get hit

[sinful laurel]

Stop getting hit by obviously marked and telegraphed giant hits

[near path]

Don't stand in the obvious big circles

[toxic echo]

thats why they are t4 bosses

[dusky kite]

not the least because you just play ma on paladin as there is no reason not to

[hollow root]

I wasn't using most of the on hit buffs for the Beastmaster, as they required me to hit my enemies (as far as I understood), so I had extra points

[near path]

Yeah that's not how you play BM

Those on-hit buffs dial your minions to 11

[dusky kite]

melee det arrow intensifies

[peak oracle]

for the weird build im doing, i think im just trying to put enough points to get Fissure, then place every other level points into Acolyte / Necro / Lich lol

[sinful laurel]

Oh. I have plans. Do I have plans

[weak lark]

Is there any chance of the maps and mini maps to show during my gameplay on steam deck. They seem to be blank as I play?

[hollow root]

I figured as much, but i couldn't have a regular attack while also having the buff based Warcry totem, the Frenzy Totem, and all the minions I did

[dusky kite]

you really want to leverage those synergies on bm, and also to build to maximize one minion type

[hollow root]

only the Raptor seemed really good enough to priorities on, and I don't have the focus to use more than like 3 skills (so the other skills were minions)

[barren kayak]

If I don't imune entangled on lightless i die in less than a second with 3.5k HP, crit imune, 65% block 1500 BE

[hollow root]

you don't want Earthquake instead?

[near path]

Because his Entangling Roots have a giga dot

Don't stand in them

[surreal verge]

Errr they’re talking about acolyte-

[near path]

You're supposed to hug the edges

[barren kayak]

It's arena wide no?

[near path]

No

[hollow root]

oops

[near path]

If you stay near the edge, near the flaming pedestal or on it, it won't hit you

[barren kayak]

Like I can leap over it but that's it?

Interesting

[hollow root]

Is the "don't stand in the damage zones" a meme? (aside from being solid advice)

[near path]

The way you do that portion of the fight is - you go right, destroy the blockade and burn down the root. The entire time you hug right. You can hug hard enough to avoid his slam too. Then you rush left and repeat the same thing

[wicked plover]

not rly, everything is very well telegraphed in this game

[near path]

If you have invulns, you time them to avoid damage from the slam

[wicked plover]

so if you get dmg its 99/100 times your fault

[barren kayak]

I think it's somewhat useless advice when your on discord you propably know that 😅

[sinful laurel]

It's really not though

[hollow root]

just double checking as a guy named Thor brought it up recently

[toxic echo]

its both

[dusty badge]

If I want to target farm a specific unique that's in the first monolith area, namely flight of the first, should I just spam the first area despite having unlocked the black sun area

I need that bow to transition my build into what I actually want to be playing

[near path]

Unlock empowered first then farm

[barren kayak]

Only if your in empowered

[toxic echo]

really should get to empowered before farming uniques

[sinful laurel]

You shouldn't worry about target farming until you get to empowered

[dusty badge]

Right

[sinful laurel]

Lol

[barren kayak]

Lol

[hollow root]

as a person that has trouble keeping track of everything on screen its good advice to keep in mind, even if I fail to do so on occasion
however the Lagon water? blast seems a bit harder to properly dodge

[sinful laurel]

As soon as you see him breathe in for it, move to the other tentacle

[barren kayak]

Monolith bosses die in seconds tho

[near path]

Tfw when you read tentacle as testicle

[hollow root]

What is Empowered?
is it a thing past Lagon?

[sinful laurel]

Still works

[near path]

[barren kayak]

Lagon is 100% gear check

[sinful laurel]

Finish the last three islands on top, click blue thing in middle island

[peak oracle]

wrong class lol

but no i just want as many Volatile Zombies as possible. So i kinda need Profane Veil + Chtonic Fissure, but ill see if its actually worth it eventually

[toxic echo]

empowered is lvl 100 timelines

[hollow root]

ah, so way past the farthest I got to

Is it a good idea to keep artifacts/legendary gear for classes that I don't use as much?
like I occasionally find stuff for the mage, but I don't really like what the mage has for damage output (maybe I use the mage wrong)

[near path]

Please don't actively sit and push corruption in normal monos, it's an enormous waste of time

[wicked plover]

if you want to try it out at some point
if you are 100% that you wont touch mage ever dont hoard

[hollow root]

tbf, I was playing to waste time, and I got stuck on parts in the story, as i couldn't deal with the dot that my enemies kept putting on me

[hollow root]

particularly compared to the more advanced legendary gear that has additional modifiers, as that stuff seems pretty rare (and I think only shows up in the portal zones)

[acoustic thicket]

Loot filter. Sometimes the SHOW-rule lets me set a color, but the option keeps disappearing. I just signed in now, and can set a color, but if I play for a while the option will no longer be available. Known bug, or am I missing something?

[wicked plover]

i mean stash space is very affordable, i always keep a few versions of each unique with high legendary potential roles, just in case

[wicked plover]

use the recolor option

[thorn oyster]

can you transfer offline chars online?

[wicked plover]

no

[acoustic thicket]

I know that's an option, but it still seems weird that I can sometimes (apparently at random) set it in the SHOW-rule

[wicked plover]

maybe put it in https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1123698102470189118

i never use show, recolor has the same functionality

[thorn oyster]

every new season, chars are transfered to legacy?

[wicked plover]

yes

[hollow root]

are the seasons like POE, or are they more like D3?

[wicked plover]

for the next few cycles it will be mostly base game additions like pinnacle bosses and so on

after that we will have to see

i would say more favored in the direction of d3 when it comes to scope

[hollow root]

good to know, as I normally play offline, but could play online if there were reasonable incentive (mostly because I play really slowly)

[wicked plover]

for the next few cycles you wont have to switch to online, you get everything at the same time on legacy chars

[hollow root]

even cooler

[thorny hedge]

What is the general advice post Story:

I know you run Story Monos to get to Empowered, and ASAP. Do you start Empowered immediately, or do you wait until you are ~95 before going into Empowered? If you enter Empowered below 95, do people typically try to push corruption high or reset frequently until their build & passives line up more?

Looking to refine my strategy for approaching this come 1.0.

[wicked plover]

completely depends on if your char can handle the difficulty

higher corruption = more loot, so naturally one would want to go as high as fast as possible

how capable your build is at any given point is very variable

but you will want to farm empowered monos asap, even if you stay at 100 corruption

[thorny hedge]

That makes sense, push only if able, otherwise sit where comfy. Thanks!

[remote mirage]

does stability inside a map itself do anything to both reward chests?

[toxic echo]

no,just the boss quest bar

[remote mirage]

ah kay, makes life easier on skipping

[toxic echo]

tho inorder to get all the bonus stab, you have to kill more things. and the more killing means the bigger rando chest

[thorny hedge]

Yes and no. IDK on the advice but I'd imagine that to push corruption you want to max the stability gain on each Mono to fight the boss several times before getting to Orobyss to stack up bonus corruption.

[minor vigil]

you dont want to go out of your way for bonus stability

it's more efficient to clear more echoes

[remote mirage]

ive been mostly exiting early unless the map has a ton of rare mobs which seems to happen sometimes where you get way more rare mobs

[sinful laurel]

And getting further from the start. To add to Lucius statement

[frosty dew]

i don't know if this has been answer but, right now wen you die in hardcore you go in Softcore, with cycle, if you die in HC cycle you go to SC or SC Cycle ?

[sinful laurel]

Cycle stays with cycle I am pretty sure

[thorn oyster]

is there a way to swap left and right click?

I tried to change it in the menu but I can't remap right mouse button anywhere else

[toxic echo]

not legally in game

some people have done profiles on their mouse if its a fancy gaming mouse

[thorn oyster]

I prefer moving with right click and hitting with left one its more natural to me

[toxic echo]

you can also change windows itself, but that changes everything on the PC

yeah. its just not an option ingame right now

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1205146896977633350

[cursive delta]

If i reduce corruption how much will it be reduced?

[thorn oyster]

can you meet others on the world or you have to invite them first? I'm 14 level atm and I haven't met anyone

[sinful laurel]

You choose

[cedar locust]

You will see other players in Towns and can invite players to join a Party by adding them as a friend via the Social Window (H)

[cursive delta]

Awesome, can you tell me the higher the better right? But also harder to face enemies XD

[sinful laurel]

General rule: go as high as you can while not sacrificing kill speed, clear speed or dying and losing echo rewards

Try to hit at least 200

[silent pagoda]

anyway to drag current map?

[sinful laurel]

As that opens up the last blessing slot and the final rewards from uwubyss

[cursive delta]

I see thank you @sinful laurel

[remote mirage]

is there a website version of the ingame guide somewhere?

[sinful laurel]

All the same info is on last epoch tools

Albeit not in the exact same format

[remote mirage]

cool ty

[knotty tinsel]

lastepochtools is (primarily) a repository with information pulled from the game. Fortunately including the in game guide

[tribal bone]

how's the divide looking are most people going to stay legacy for the first cycle or start fresh

[polar pendant]

cycle for me

[wide sentinel]

Doubt many people will go legacy

[dapper swift]

cycle and trying to get every unique

[edgy sphinx]

Playing online at launch sounds like a recipe for disaster so I'll stick to offline

Can't see myself ever playing online. No point.

[wicked plover]

well i got 12 chars sitting on legacy waiting to be min maxed
0 reason to start cycle for me personally

[quiet quiver]

hey guys, im interested in buying this game. Is that true cycles (season) and legacy server will always get the same content ? So were is the logic in seperate players from leagacy to cycle ?

[tribal bone]

not always

[wicked plover]

not always, for now

[tribal bone]

just for the first few ones, since they're introducing mechanics that are going to be a core part of the game

[wicked plover]

next cycles will mainly be base game additions, so ther eis no point in delaying deployement to legacy

[quiet quiver]

ah ok then i pass on this, hate those season shit. ty for answer bye

[steel merlin]

incredible selective reading

[surreal verge]

It's fine, it won't help

[wicked plover]

https://tenor.com/view/it-is-what-it-is-it-is-eet-eet-iz-iz-gif-17896182

[edgy sphinx]

People hear/see what they want to see.

[surreal verge]

They already failed the reading test, they won't go far if they played it

[edgy sphinx]

Ha

[cedar locust]

You don't need to play Cycles, there's no exclusive content for the first one and any content that does become Cycle exclusive will be watched closely for player feedback.

I'll be playing Legacy near exclusively

[hasty scaffold]

Do spamming skeletons count as u summoning them?

Is it possible to gain mana by spamming skeleton?

[surreal verge]

no

[quiet quiver]

lol ok i still dont understand, so cycles are gonna be servers where you can test upcoming new content before released it to legacy server ?

[knotty tinsel]

spamming as in, sending them dozens of messages or?

"I showed you my femur pls respond"

[surreal verge]

It's the same shit as seasons except there's no season mechanic.
So seasons are only for leaderboards and economy reset.

[toxic echo]

just a fresh start IF you want it

[steel merlin]

just to be clear, therse no season mechanic anywhere

[cedar locust]

Just a fresh start for ladders if you're interested in them - no seasonal mechanics 🙂

[steel merlin]

you arent locked from anything by playing in the permanent server

[quiet quiver]

that would be amazing if devs could confirm those words i rly dont want to spend money on another diablo4 like game.

[steel merlin]

devs said taht

[toxic echo]

Ave just did tho?

[quiet quiver]

ok then i insta buy this game xD ty again

[steel merlin]

man of quick decisions

[knotty tinsel]

what a rollercoaster

[quick turret]

Do crits affect DoTs

[surreal verge]

[steel merlin]

no

[surreal verge]

No

[cedar locust]

No worries, the team knows that content blocks are a big thing in the community and want players to have a game they don't feel like they miss out in

[balmy oriole]

Has someone a writeup on the exact effects of each Overload?

[bleak coral]

Is there a compilation of things the devs have said about 1.0 that isn't in the announcement?

[steel merlin]

Like "good morning" and stuff?

[balmy oriole]

[opal rune]

hey, guys i want a loot filter for lich and runemaster what is the best one to use?

[toxic echo]

the one you make yourself

[steel merlin]

Most loot filters you download from somewhere else are overcomplicated and give a false sense of the difficulty of making your own

[edgy sphinx]

I always screwed up making my own, so one that someone makes for me would be better. I'm too stupid to make one myself.

[remote mirage]

i think the biggest problem of using other people's loot filter is that you might not know why things are appearing at all or why they are emphasized etc

[candid spire]

Yo

can anyone give me reach of the grave wand lol

[surreal verge]

Gifting doesn't work that way-

[candid elm]

There's currently not item trading like that until 1.0 releases on Feb 21st

[toxic echo]

thats not how gifting works. and no

[candid spire]

oh lol

dude im weak af idk why

my necromancer build is op

but i cant take any damage

its like my hp is 1

[cedar locust]

What would you say is a good crafting guide to learn from? 🤔

[wide sentinel]

i turst maxroll team

they have several

[toxic echo]

aaron has a good one buts its a little old....boardman just posted one as well..bina also has a decent one

[charred pollen]

Yo. So I have bought a game for 33eu, and now, I cannot play? Like for real? Make a char - Cinematic loaded in milisecond - First location doesn't loading at all. Alt+f4 - in char selection I chose my fresh created character press Enter game, sound and nothing happens with "enter game" button greyed out. Like seriuosly? bug reporet sent, but I wanted to try game before Feb 21... lmao

[cedar locust]

Please do not ask other discord members to purchase the game for you. This breaks our server rules.

[wide sentinel]

[cedar locust]

Yes it is. Do not ask again.

[toxic echo]

bold strategy

Why would people do such a thing?

[wide sentinel]

bro literally comes in and starts arguing with LE team member after was asked to stop

[charred pollen]

so after purchase, and chosing a server with 19ms, because I am in the center of West europe, requiring more shenanigans to actually play the game? realy?

[steel merlin]

YoU dOnT goT muCh coMmOn KnowLeDge

[surreal verge]

EU servers are funny, try another one.

[charred pollen]

another one has like 100+ms

[wide sentinel]

doesnt matter

Yes

[surreal verge]

Try it.

[steel merlin]

Trust us

[charred pollen]

does this implements wtih gameplay?

[wide sentinel]

[toxic echo]

please understand that just cuz you cannot connect to the game, doesnt mean its the games fault. what you were linked has helped plenty of people, especially eu

[wide sentinel]

i think the only part that is somewhat affected by ping is Julra

[faint plinth]

So what is the last epoch

Or should I say when

[toxic echo]

its a really cool lore thing in game. no spoilers

[surreal verge]

The fact that they got shot immediately is pretty funny

[steel merlin]

Gifting semantics are serious business

[charred pollen]

it is actually games fault. being a client, and actually paying real money for the product, I want to get experience, not oonga-bonga dance around router, u know?

[faint plinth]

I tried to follow the story a bit but as with most arpgs is very kekw

[toxic echo]

yes becuase ISP's never have issues inbetween

[steel merlin]

remember when games were about having fun

[charred pollen]

Yes I do remeber my PS1 with Crash bandicoot and Siphon Filter

[faint plinth]

Never, games are about posting in Instagram your achievements

[cedar locust]

Yes we grew up and realised they were about being right

[faint plinth]

I've been told

[toxic echo]

i remember my nintendo 😦

[cedar locust]

Those steps are mostly diagnostic to help the team figure out what might be causing the issue. that's why we ask players to try them

[unique sonnet]

Can you skip the story after you've done it once?

holy hell we got an impostor

offline char no problems at liek all

[faint plinth]

Hey I'm trying

[unreal harness]

You can and then you can play legacy while everyone else plays cycle

[charred pollen]

what the heck

so what exactly has to be done with internet to work online, because you know, U can't trade in offline

[wide sentinel]

i had 4y headstart

payed only 35$ for it

[faint plinth]

How dare you

Not pay full price

[wide sentinel]

[neat anvil]

If I have 2 sources of "x% chance to cast Y on hit (1 sec cooldown)"

A) they share that cooldown?
B) they each have their own cooldown?

[faint plinth]

Must be as half as good as D4

[near path]

you'll have to be more specific

[wide sentinel]

i upgraded to ultimate edition so now its as good as d4

[cedar locust]

That... That is full price 😅

[steel merlin]

maru is doing a bit of trolling

[faint plinth]

Can I at least buy stash tabs like normal games ?

[cedar locust]

In game gold only!

[faint plinth]

How dare they

[near path]

Maru is the epitome of "tell me you saw the meme LE vs D4 video without telling me you saw the meme LE vs D4 video"

[wide sentinel]

they are referencing this video, which is pretty funny to watch https://youtu.be/5IFY3gblZ28?si=2lfnu6Iy9hQPBDB6

[faint plinth]

I should've been a bit less obvious I will try harder next time

[steel merlin]

the fireball tree comparison is amazing

[cedar locust]

Nah, I haven't seen the video tbf

[near path]

you'd have to ask the devs for confirmation but I think each of those sources would have their own CDs.

[red mortar]

When a skill point says "Bleed chance from all sources is converted to frosbite chance" does it mean all sources from the skill itself or also from the gear and passive tree?

[near path]

all sources from gear + passive tree + skill tree for THAT skill's use

if you use another skill it will apply Bleed as per Bleed chance. But THAT skill will apply Frostbite

[toxic echo]

on hit and on kill are very different. make sure they are worded correctly.

[faint plinth]

Tbf the whole conversion thing it's probably a legacy that shouldn't comeback

[red mortar]

ok thanks

[toxic echo]

if its the same trigger, should be same cooldown

[faint plinth]

Looking at you Grim

[charred pollen]

So nothing is working

good

[cedar locust]

Ah sorry about that, please wait for Support to respond to you ticket and they may be able to help

[candid spire]

its on u i guess try a diffrent network or internet
my ping is 120 on EU WEST and i didnt have a single problem

[charred pollen]

I have checked the support in forum, people saying that the haven't got answers since 2023...

[charred pollen]

change your internet provider

that could work maybe

[cedar locust]

I mean in response to the ticket you submitted here https://support.lastepoch.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[charred pollen]

great. I've been with IP for like 10 years already, no issues, and then, for one game, I have to change it?

[peak oracle]

I assume "Fear" for normal mobs makes them "flee" or stop for 1-5s

But what does it do on bosses?

[candid elm]

Or you could try a VPN. It may just be one connection along the route

[candid spire]

i need a crafting guide too
the reason im dying at bosses is bcs of that
i need to craft some legendary gears but idk how

[candid spire]

dude why u so aggressive lol chill a bit
try a VPN
you can download many free VPNs or use game booster such as GearUp booster or etc

they will fix your issue for sure later on

but im saying that there are solutions you can use rn

[cedar locust]

Player has tried all the steps provided earlier, they are best waiting for Support to respond

[toxic echo]

its a flee in opposite direction, but only for like .5 seconds

[charred pollen]

dude, the game, that requires money to play, has to work from box

[candid spire]

okay then

[candid spire]

its working fine

use a DNS

[cedar locust]

Not for everyone, please allow Support to handle this

[surreal verge]

Sometimes, your ISP can be a bitch.

[peak oracle]

so the boss flees for like half duration? So if my zombies insta stack 5s normally, then they stack 2.5s on a boss? And he cant attack during that time?

[candid elm]

For Legendary items, you need to find a unique with Legendary Potential (LP). Then you can run Temporal Sanctum dungeon and smash an Exalted item with the same general base type, such as boots -> boots or 2H axe -> 2H axe, into the LP Unique at the end of the dungeon. That will destroy the Exalted item and randomly select up to the LP # of affixes from the Exalted item to add onto the Unique. 1 LP is one of the four affixes randomly selected to be added. Up to 4 LP adding all 4 affixes. The Exalted item must have 4 affixes to be used. Sealed affix is not used or counted.

[charred pollen]

no issues what so ever, why now?

[toxic echo]

fear itself only lasts for a short time. the ailments lasts for alot longer, but doesnt do anything besides give the mob fear immunity. its mostly useless

[candid spire]

oh nice

i have few LP items

[peak oracle]

oh what thats shit...

[candid spire]

do you know any useful video about this topic?

[toxic echo]

yeah its not great overall

[near path]

Fear is kinda meme yeah

[shy stream]

There is an issue with some ISPs that block certain types of content. Most of it flies under the radar but every once in a while it gets caught up and causes the issue you're experiencing.

[near path]

then again, if it wasn't, it'd be the most busted CC in the game

[toxic echo]

also true

[candid elm]

Ok so look for Exalted items with the same general base type, such as Ring -> Ring, that has affixes you'd like to possibly transferred to the Unique, making it Legendary. It can take multiple tries to get the affixes you want.

[acoustic thicket]

hi all.. I've a problem, wandering if anybody can help me with it..
as u can see in the video, my character, while walking have sometimes (often) a glitch, like if the character stumbles into an obstacle..
mostly this happens always in the same points (intersections)
the pc is a recent one with a moderate-high configuration on board
tried to change video options, but nothing.. any suggestion or hint?

[thorn oyster]

so your build on this game consists of 5 skills out of the many that you invest your points at?

[near path]

you can only invest your points in 5 skills...

[wide sentinel]

report in game with a screenshot

[toxic echo]

each skill gets its own points when you spec into them.

passive tree is seperate

[thorn oyster]

can I play a jungle beastmaster with 5 summon skills and eternal blessing

would that be viable or you need a balance

a balance of specific type of skills

[toxic echo]

you can play with a zoo, yes

[compact notch]

do pets like have stats and stuff or they just to look cool ?

[toxic echo]

the MTX pets do nothing except look cool

[thorn oyster]

the pets on this game are actually useful, my raptors kills a lot of stuff

[toxic echo]

the summons ingame do stuff

[near path]

those are Companions

Pets = cosmetics
Companions = Beastmaster summoned animals
Minions = Necromancer summons, Totems, other item summons, Falconer's Falcon

Functionally companions = minions for being affected by passives and item affixes

[compact notch]

oh thanks so i just have 2 sus looking gold sperms with me

[near path]

those sound like cosmetic pets

Golden Guppy

[toxic echo]

those are baby chronowyrms for buying game before 1.0

[thorn oyster]

I like how builds work, I saw a streamer having only 4 wolves or so and got me worried that you may need to have only specific skills

I love the variation

[compact notch]

noice ! i just joined the game and god damn i wish i did earleir >.< this is sick c:

[acoustic thicket]

Do we know if cycles will ever be exclusive to things in future?

[toxic echo]

nothing is set in stone besides this next cycle has no exclusive content

[acoustic thicket]

okay no worries

[near path]

the game allows you to do some wild shit, but tbh from an efficiency and optimization standpoint you're better off focusing on one or two damage skills, at least one mobility skill, and a couple buffs

but it's not mandatory

do what's fun for you

[thorn oyster]

on this game the best thing for efficient leveling is skipping to yellow ones and what about questing, do you skip to the objective?

[compact notch]

talkin about build shoudl i go lich early or necro for minions to make things easier then later lich ?

[cedar locust]

Can you send me a screenshot of that?

[candid elm]

There's a rare unique helm that turns your wolves into squirrels. Lots of options.

[near path]

I have very little experience with Acolyte tbh with you. Check #💀┃acolyte for better advice

[compact notch]

ic that there is live streams is there drops ?

[candid elm]

I personally do them all. But you really only need to do the ones that give a Passive skill point or an Idol unlock.

[thorn oyster]

you can only go fora mastery once and I like that feature

[compact notch]

ooooo so u cant respec mastery ! that is good indeed

[peak oracle]

welp time to change my plan on 2-3 skills ig lol

[toxic echo]

drops dont start until after 1.0

[wooden hornet]

I bought the game now, but I don't want to play before launch.
Should I install it now, or wait for some prelaunch update?

Also any official time I missed for launch besides just february 21st?

[toxic echo]

#news message

if you dont want to play now, wait for the 1.0 patch

[compact notch]

last thing >.< can someone explain the solo challnges i have it on and idk if i should disable it or not

[formal dust]

will the progress of the character i make now be wiped/reset once patch 1.0 hit on 21?

[toxic echo]

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

[candid elm]

Later, yes. https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/twitch-drops-what-you-need-to-know-for-launch/61723 and https://twitch.lastepoch.com/

[formal dust]

thxi will read rest of the FaQ

[unreal harness]

Merchant cape 🤝

[compact notch]

thats like the seasons in diablo or POA right ?

[acoustic thicket]

will the Cof faction be available to offline characters?

[toxic echo]

the solo challnge thing is bugged rn. but it basically makes so you cant share a stash with other of your characters

[toxic echo]

similar

[toxic echo]

yes

[wooden hornet]

Thanks for the first answer ❤️
So I assume the 1.0 will roll out before launch as a predownload thing like Poe?

[wicked plover]

no pre download

[peak oracle]

@toxic echo why does that one scale tho? Fearing for 3 seconds a boss can look quite decent

[toxic echo]

no. LE has a full offline mode, so no predownloads are available

[compact notch]

so technically ill start a new character

[toxic echo]

its not scaling fear length. its just making the fear ailment last longer

[toxic echo]

if you want to play cycle, yes. if not, everything is playable in legacy

[candid elm]

No. All your current online characters will be part of the standard/legacy game mode. They won't be deleted.

There will be an option to make a new character in the new Cycle, which has a separate leaderboard and a separate stash from your existing characters. The content between the standard and Cycle is going to be the same this Cycle.

Cycles are similar to PoE Leagues or Diablo Seasons, if you've played those other games.

[compact notch]

ofc cycle provide new stuff

[toxic echo]

this patch does not have exclusive content. both are getting everything this patch

[peak oracle]

so scaling the ailment has to have an upside no?

[toxic echo]

not fear

and again, tbh wouldnt even use fear

[compact notch]

that is really intreseting :0

[neon roost]

Came back to the game from 0.9.0 and doing some prep for lvling for1.0, did they ever change how the blessings work? Or is it still so that your most recent one counts? Or can you now select from your best one that you have acquired so far?

[formal dust]

is there downside to be playing online i read reviews about servers and stuff like that i mostly wanna play ssf/hardcore

[toxic echo]

no blessings changes yet

likely not for 1.0 either

but eventually

[peak oracle]

well then thats quite dumb..? Its just noob bait by the way its written really. I wouldnt have used it on zombies anyways, but changes how i scale other things

[toxic echo]

servers are kinda sketch for some people right now. but lots of updats coming 1.0

[surreal verge]

I can tell you a use for fear!

Spirit plague-

[neon roost]

So you're still on the hunt for the right blessing and they're still a pain to swap, ah, that's sad.

[toxic echo]

think its just an old mechanic they havent touched in a while tbh

[toxic echo]

they have talked about updating that system, i just dont think its coming in 1.0

pretty sure mike has said its not

[opal rune]

guys anyone free in the game to try something in the overgrown alcove ?

[near path]

It's not, I asked a couple days ago

[neon roost]

I don't mind it all that much, just has a lot of "annoyance" mechanics build in, I like the hunt for "max roll" blessings tbh, but then having them and swapping them out for another build is quite meh ;D

But alright, thanks for clarifiying

[formal dust]

should i make offline character if i plan on playing solo/hardore ssf (EU )

[candid pagoda]

This increase damage from bleed?

[toxic echo]

if i were you, id plan on that if you wanted to start day 1. give the servers a couple days to even out before going online

[formal dust]

im ocnfused plan on what

can i start offline and move my char to online?

[toxic echo]

no.

but i wouldnt start anything Hc online for a few days

[formal dust]

k

[silk sleet]

Is there a setting that shows "new" items to your inventory when you open it?

[toxic echo]

they are ever so faintly highlighted. but no...nothing thats helpful

[silk sleet]

ok thanks, il lmake a feedback thing then

[peak oracle]

This node in the Marrow Shard skill tree, does it only work if I kill my own minion with Marrow Shard? Or if I kill them with Chaos Bolt that works?

[sinful laurel]

Unspecified means "if you kill"

However you kill

[peak oracle]

ok thats very interesting now

[sinful laurel]

Unless it's a tooltip bad lol

Test it haha

[surreal verge]

Can you even hit your own minions with chaos bolt?

[flint gust]

Hi, someone knows how to fix the chat?

[sinful laurel]

If you mean can you turn off the firehouse of miserable? No

It's a bug. And a horrible one

[peak oracle]

i wish i could, but i realistically cant before update (since no Chaos bolt lol), and no actual access to my computer either

[barren kayak]

i was looking at Cursedboy Cold/Necrotic variant of Crit squirrels, but his endgame gear is missing a shit ton of res, is that normal? https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/zQqPMd0A

[flint gust]

I cant use the chat, it pops up an error saying im blocked but i never was able to even use it on older patchs, i thought it was already fixed

[surreal verge]

But chaos bolt can’t hit your own minions.
No the zombie node doesn’t count

[peak oracle]

how does Chaos Bolt not hit my own minions? There's a specific node in Chaos Bolt that makes it so I can kill my own zombies lol

[surreal verge]

It doesn’t kill them the way marrow shards and rip blood does.

As in “it doesn’t deal damage to kill them”

[peak oracle]

i mean... if i cause them to explode... i kill them..?

no matter the dmg

[surreal verge]

You caused them to use their explosion. THEY killed themselves

[peak oracle]

they dont explode by themselves, I actively haste the process

[peak oracle]

ah. well shucks

[cedar locust]

Please reach out to our Support Team so they can look into that!

[peak oracle]

back to the drawing board i guess

[flint gust]

Thanks, i will.

[peak oracle]

that actually is quite sad, fear being awful makes my planned tree for transplant a lot worse, and Marrow shards wont work very well

that makes mana sustain specifically quite hard

[unique sonnet]

Are they going to add guilds?

[buoyant sinew]

not in the near future at least. I can find the exact dev quote if you want but but it was something like they need a really good reason to add them first, and guild chat isn't enough

[native trellis]

Well hope so.. to get some nice ingame chat aka guild chat to talk with as well.

[barren kayak]

They dont need to add guilds to add community chat "rooms" tho

[native trellis]

True, especially If they do it like in ffXIV online

Would be neat to get something like that tbh

[thorn hill]

there is a world chat?

[native trellis]

Yes, but chats for communities as well u know.

[candid elm]

In game, yes. There's also a town chat, looking for group, etc.

[acoustic thicket]

In general, is it recommended to specialize your build 100% around 1 type of damage (like Void), or are there good reasons to diversify (like mixing in some Physical)?

[surreal verge]

Yes,use one damage type

[barren kayak]

theres very few multi dmg type builds, but they are there.

[peak oracle]

I feel like this is a dumb question that may not have an answer yet but :

If my Chthonic Fissures spawns both Volatile Zombies and Chaos Bolts will the bolts attack at random, or try to aim at my zombies? I have Chaos Bolts killing my own zombies, so the less random the better lol

[leaden ice]

Does ignite get better with +% fire damage?

or just +% damage over time?

[buoyant sinew]

yes

[leaden ice]

What does "Increased effect applies additional fire penetration"?

2 ignite stacks = 2% fire pene?

[buoyant sinew]

increased ailment effect used to be a common stat but it was removed, now things that used to give it just give penetration for ignite

[leaden ice]

oh

[buoyant sinew]

I don't know why that text is there but it's not important

[vivid spade]

Anyone know of easy ways to maintain mana in a minion build? I'm thinking that the build im making is going to have pretty high and consistent mana costs so i'd need good ways to regen or refill it. Currently just looking at mana regeneration and one of the new warlock passives that give mana on hit vs cursed enemies, but it has a cooldown.

[buoyant sinew]

it's not the answer you want I'm sure but "just stack a bunch of mana regen" has been the solution on every acolyte summoner I've played

primalist and sentinel have options, acolyte does not

[vivid spade]

Eh i'm fine with that answer, that's what I was kind of leaning towards already

Pretty new to the game so i've just been looking at every unique in the game trying to find something that helps and so far it just seems like massive amounts of mana regen will be the play

Building a sort-of autobomber minion setup with volatile zombies and sacrifice. Going to have a lot of sources of auto summoning and auto sacrificing but most of them will have a mana cost tied to them

[barren kayak]

Does Portal cosmetics work on mono portals?

[solid charm]

Does anyone think we'll ever seen 4 - 6 man raid style content in the game? Super impressed with what I've seen from dungeons so far, and I could picture some really cool group oriented content stemming from those kinds of mechanics

[barren kayak]

i dont think we´ll ever see content not soloable.

[oblique canyon]

are rollable affixes the same over every base type (like all rings can roll the same affixes) or do subtypes matter? (like two hand axe can have different stuff as two hand sword)

[solid charm]

would be a shame if true tbh

ARPGs benefit a lot whem multiplayer content shines, it doesn't need to subtract from the solo experience

[barren kayak]

i think you overly overestimate the amount of people not playing ARPGS solo.

[solid charm]

I'm not estimating anything

I'm looking at the games mechanics and extrapolating what I think could work and be fun

[pine trail]

Anyone know if aaron rpg's golemancer build 9.1 works in 9.2?

[buoyant sinew]

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

[native sail]

It barely worked when it was designed. It's a bad build.

[pine trail]

He has a new updated build

[native sail]

If it uses Aaron's Will, it's bad. It's that cut and dry.

[solid charm]

sab

[pine trail]

whats a better necro pet build?

[native sail]

Single Bone Golem is fine, outdamage multi golem by orders of magnitudes. Flame wraiths are great. Archmage is okay.
Genuinely, multi golem is one of the worst Necro builds.

[buoyant sinew]

abomination is also similar to single golem and probably better still?

[native sail]

Abom is slow clear for outrageously high damage

[pallid vapor]

when looking at the tooltip of a passive tree or skill, how can you keep the tooltip box open to highlight a keyword?

[native sail]

Hold shift I think?

[barren kayak]

i got a cradle with +9% block, Kinda hot sitting at 73 with no investment 😄

[faint cape]

In LE Tools, hold Z. In game, you don't - if it doesn't have extra text that pops up when you press Alt, then it doesn't have anything else for you to see.

[charred wing]

hey is there a way to wishlist last epoch if you alreadyt own? trying to get more entrys cause that one is worth 20 and seems weird its locked behind not owning the game?

[raw sable]

hey, im a mage, when i loot staffs, i constantly mainly focus on spell damage but is that really necessary?

[faint cape]

If you're doing spell damage, yeah that's probably the main thing you want from a staff. At some point, you may start to worry about crits or something depending on build.

[charred pollen]

refunded, coming back to Grim Dawn until new poe league, thanks to everybody who attempted to help me

[buoyant sinew]

and in particular you'll want to pay a lot of attention to the flat spell damage on the staff implicit

[raw sable]

i also look at crits etc, but mainly spell damage

[buoyant sinew]

that will make or break your damage

[raw sable]

if spell damage is going down, but crit going up, i dont pick it up

[unreal hinge]

why does my ring have 3 suffixes, wth

[faint cape]

Yeah, especially the flat spell damage like Spark said. % damage is less vital

[raw sable]

so more + instead of %

[buoyant sinew]

I forgot which affix but one affix got deleted and existing versions got converted to armour

[faint cape]

The armor thing (it's not a prefix nor suffix) used to be potion find chance.

[buoyant sinew]

thanks Toast

so yeah you have a weird legacy item

[unreal hinge]

oh, nice to know! thanks!

[vague dagger]

Trying to level a flurry multishot build, does the flurry missing arrows issue go away eventually through the tree, or am I actually just needing to ditch it until the 1.0 release

[split sable]

want to ask, im lvl 72 but can run lvl 80+ echo too easily, most monster just died 1 hitted, and even boss died under 5 secs

i got lucky with a unique bow thats perfect for flurry shotgun

is there another end game farming method that i can do other than echos?

or i should just finish empowered echos first?

coz ngl its getting boring pushing through lvl 90

my 2nd day playing need help. ty

[native sail]

It's a bug. Hopefully fixed for 1.0

[faint cape]

Flurry projectiles are bugged, but that build is mainly about multishot anyway so it doesn't matter much

as long as one per round hits for your mana lol

[native sail]

Who wants to explain to Jubei here that the reason things are dying so quickly is due to Flurry being exponentially stronger than intended?

[buoyant sinew]

I think you just did

[split sable]

ah i see, but still question remain, is there another endgame content i can do?

[buoyant sinew]

the endgame content right now is t4 dungeons or empowered monolith corruption pushing

[faint cape]

Just push to empowered. There are dungeons you can run for a little just to mix it up, sure, but empowered is the primary end game.

[native sail]

You're evidently not in empowered monos, push to there and start building corruption.

[buoyant sinew]

more endgame content is apparently a major dev focus after 1.0

[split sable]

ah i see, okay i'll google up how to do dungeon,

been doing echoes for 12 hour straight, need to change scenery

ty ty

[dapper swift]

ah it is easy, you need the keys for them and go there in the campaign to find them at least once

[wanton summit]

Anyone know how much of a graphical jump the game is going to make on launch? My only console is steam deck and I am worried

[dapper swift]

It should be also more optimized from what I heard?

[formal dust]

is traveling via portals aways this slow/non responsive like it takes good 3-5 sec

[split sable]

yea everytime

[honest sierra]

what will happen with the existing items when factions release?

[dapper swift]

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

[honest sierra]

I was curios if they will be tradable

[vivid spade]

On the bazaar, i'd assume no. Unless you mean player to player trading, but that i'm not sure of

[stark panther]

what bleed build would you recommend ?

[dapper swift]

Maybe in Legacy they would be tradable? Who knows

[balmy oriole]

Are there any way currently to prevent yourself of getting yourself healed by "health on hit" modifiers? I want to take this node for a low life Warlock and with 5 or more curses and 4 hits of Chaos Bolts per cast this would heal myself for 120 health per cast. I am affraid this sustain will already overpower the lose current health modifiers for the low life setup.

[dapper swift]

More drain effects could help I guess?

[trim ether]

honest question. I'm a necro, using dread shade as a leveled skill, as well as bone golem. If you read the definition for DS, it bleeds 3% health/sec. So, in theory it should take 33 seconds to die. Right now, he's dying within like 10-12 seconds. Long before my (now) 18 sec CD on it is (from egoist)

is this actually intended to be multiplicative? because if so, that's not at all clear from the description

[fast dirge]

i have a loot filter saved but every time i click x it immediately turns the loot filter off?

[balmy oriole]

it stacks 3% health loss per second, so during the second second its 6% loss then 9% and so on

[wide sentinel]

No

[remote mirage]

it only turns it off for the time when you hold down the X button so you can see items in big piles that you might miss for example

[native sail]

You cannot sell items acquired before 1.0, no

[trim ether]

okay, see, that's not clear either. I took it to mean 3%, then 6%, and so on.

[trim ether]

does lone watcher negate this? or does that do something else besides what it implies, too

[balmy oriole]

when you take lone watcher it will not drain life at all

[fast dirge]

oh okay ty

[midnight elm]

With the ultimate edition, I assume all the cosmetics will still be obtainable after the release? The golden guppy says pre order exclusive so im assuming after the release day that pet will no longer be obtainable right?

[native sail]

Correct, everything there will still be available except for Guppy after 1.0

[graceful ibex]

Hello! Are player towns/hubs implemented yet or are they planned for 1.0 ?

[native sail]

They're in already

[graceful ibex]

Are they? Where?

[native sail]

Biggest example is the End of Time

It's basically the "main" city
