[graceful ibex]

But there are no other players

[candid elm]

Yeah you'll see other players in the towns now and there's a town chat. If you see a message about joining town chat, you're in a town

[graceful ibex]

Ah, I see

[remote mirage]

i see players frequently over at eu west

[native sail]

US East here, players are pretty plentiful even when I'm up at like 4AM

[tame pebble]

how hard is it to play the game blind and come up with good builds? I don't mind build guides but I like to go in blind, from a scale of 1 (d4 skill twig/cant really go wrong) to 10 (poe, should almost always use a build guide at first)

[native sail]

5?

[trim ether]

thanks. I'm around level 57/58 now and I keep respeccing skill points and stuff, i'm just not happy with the maxroll leveling thing. its too dull for me. and constantly resummoning and tagging the golem every 20-25 seconds (with the poison instead) isn't fun

[native sail]

As long as you're literate and can understand scaling you should be fine

[trim ether]

and against bosses, I spend 50% of the time scratching my butt because I have no attack skills

[normal coyote]

What are the advantages of playing online over offline?

[quick crown]

does the "x% of damage leeched as life on hit" stat not work for totems? if i take damage and my totem deals damage i dont gain any leech

[tame pebble]

alrighty ty

[dapper swift]

I played PoE already when I first started, LE but tbh with the in game guide, and some thinking I think anyone that is new might do just fine

[balmy oriole]

totems count as minions and not you

[native sail]

The minion is leeching life, not you.

[golden violet]

so there's a training dummy, but no dps meter in this game, right?

[native sail]

Right

[buoyant sinew]

@tame pebble just know that respeccing your skills and passives is easy but you cannot change your mastery (subclass) once you pick it, so put some thought into that decision

[quick crown]

@balmy oriole @native sail

[golden violet]

what's even the point then lol

[quick crown]

read the description of the second paragraph

[buoyant sinew]

to get damage popup numbers in a controlled environment

[golden violet]

cringe

[tame pebble]

yeah ingame stuff doesnt really count as build guide imo though so sounds good

[tame pebble]

ah interesting thanks for the heads up

[quick crown]

that should work for me or else im reading it incorrectly

[native sail]

That's just explaining what "leech" means because that's the keyword of it

Minions do not leech to you.

(With the notable exception of Falconer now)

[wise ingot]

when the game releases on the 21st for trade and factions do characters reset ?

[quick crown]

they wont reset

[native sail]

#1161416976321744896

[wise ingot]

so its basically like seasons ? i wont be able to play the character in the current cyle if i leveled it now

[native sail]

Yeah

[cinder ibex]

How rare are Weaver’s Will Uniques ?

[native sail]

Not super. It's getting high WW on them that's rare

[cinder ibex]

whats the span, 1 to ?

1-10 ?

[native sail]

5 to 28

[cinder ibex]

I have one that is 3 atm

[native sail]

You have mods on it already

[cinder ibex]

oh, so is the 3 how many I currently got or how many I have left to get?

[native sail]

How many you have left

Each WW = 1 tier of affix
It is weighted more to upgrade an existing affix than add a new one

[cinder ibex]

so I'm guessing if you get 28 you dont get 28 affixes, it upgrades existing

ah yes, ok

[native sail]

Yeah

28 guarantees it will have 4 tier 7 affixes

(I personally am unsure if anyone has seen a 28WW yet)

[cinder ibex]

I just kept hearing level up sounds but didnt see anything to level up. then I actually read what it said and was yet again surprised at another cool thing the game threw at me! 😄

[toxic echo]

Would be nutty if it existed

[native sail]

Highest I've seen myself is 22, I think someone posted a 24 once?

[toxic echo]

It would just roll some shit that never went together just to spite

[cinder ibex]

can you get 20+ at lower levels or is it locked to higher level/corruption ?

(currently 41)

[native sail]

I believe it is possible but area level plays a part, so higher area level = better odds

[quick crown]

is there a cap or diminishing returns on attackspeed/cast speed?
asking about both when it comes to the player and minion/totem

[native sail]

@icy drift correct me if I'm wrong on this ^

[icy drift]

soup

yes

area level affects lp

[native sail]

No cap. Diminishing terms in the same sense as everything else (the more you have the less "impact" you're going to see)

[cinder ibex]

Cool, damn this game really scratches my D4 itch, so glad I gave it another chance - thanks for being awesome and answering my newbie questions ❤️

[icy drift]

ohhh

there are thresholds for caps

ill have to check manually though

for ww

like at level 100 the lowest you can get is 8, but that's not the case at lower area levels

[quick crown]

and no thresholds either? like, at certain amounts you see a significant increase in damage?

[native sail]

Nah, this ain't D2

[icy drift]

i'm in a game of league rn but when i'm done ill tag you with the answer

[native sail]

Sounds good, thanks numbers guy

[golden violet]

is it intentional that to proc stats of it while playing flurry/multishot build i need to either use MS manually 5 times or use flurry 5 times as well despite it being channeled and causing to trigger multishot itself

[cursive delta]

The dungeon that gives us points to trade for uniques or set gear, do we have a chance to get any piece within the game? Or there are only a few ?

[sinful laurel]

Yes. Channeling doesn't count as repeated "uses" of the skill

[native sail]

"when you use" = directly use 99.9% of the time

[native sail]

Any non-boss stuff (and 3 items exclusive to that mechanic) that are available at the area level

[fringe aspen]

sorry might be a stupid question but how does the trade system work when you go solo self found? do you still get to choose which faction you want to go or will it just automatically sort you into the non trade faction?>

[native sail]

You could choose MG, you probably shouldn't

[cursive delta]

Thank you mate!

[golden violet]

ok, but doesnt it make using either accelerated impact (which increases flurry damage for each second channeled) or barrage of pain in the same build? Cause, the stacks from barrage of pain disappear quite fast, so i either need to refresh them by using MS manually (which stops gaining stacks of accelerating impact) or forget about barrage

[native sail]

Forget about barrage

(Or abuse snapshotting)

[golden violet]

so it actually does make it useless, right?

cause that's a build stolen from maxroll, i used to trust such things

but after thinking about this for a minute

it doesnt make sense

[native sail]

If you're not abusing snapshotting, yes. Most people abuse snapshotting because it's technically intended but has unintended side effects.

[golden violet]

can you elaborate on this? I've no idea about that abuse

[upbeat valley]

Can the experimental affixes be converted to shards using a rune of shattering?

[native sail]

Snapshotting is the system which makes channeled skills consistent, it effectively takes the buffs that applied on the start of the channel and makes them last for the rest of the channel. The issue is this allows you to stack them pre-emptively and keep them going for far longer than intended, and Flurry's is bugged with some buffs and never ending them.

[fringe aspen]

ah ok just wondering if theres a choice cause I assumed you would automatically get thrown into the magic find faction when you pick ssf

[golden violet]

and how do i do that?

i guess it's going to be fixed in 1.0 so i wont rely on this anyways, but i def wanna try it

[desert tree]

No (I think its bugged sometimes and you can get shards but you are not supposed to)

[native sail]

Like I said, get all your buffs "going" before the channel, then just start channeling. I think the attack speed based on hits in Flurry's tree is the one that currently stacks functionally infinitely (just channel for a couple seconds, stop, then do it again, and repeat 2-3 times, you should see it kick in)

Even if the visual of the buff icons disappear, they're still applying until you stop channeling

[cinder ibex]

Does this not procc on minion kills?

because im not seeing any skeleton harvesters

[toxic echo]

Nope. Yours

[cinder ibex]

ah ok

[golden violet]

ahh, i see. Cause i tried stacking barrage before channeling but it disappeared quickly as it should (at least its icon disappeared)

[cinder ibex]

so minions cant make use of any similar procc skills

[golden violet]

well thanks!

[upbeat valley]

Ok, so you'd have to remove affixes and build around the experimental affix if you wanted? Thanks 🙂

[bleak sapphire]

I just finished all 3 lvl 90 monoliths is there somthing else I need to do to unlock empowered?

[buoyant sinew]

yes, go to the island in the middle of the 3 and click the device

[bleak sapphire]

im there theres nothing to click

[strong nimbus]

Why does this item increase the Judgment DPS twice?

[icy drift]

@native sail so i was missremembering, there's only really a single threshold, and that's that after area level 56, (so 57 and up) the minimum goes from 5 to 8 (the odds of getting 5-7 get lower and lower until you can only get 8+ after that point)

[desert tree]

And the spell dmg

[native sail]

Funni bugged affix

[desert tree]

https://tenor.com/view/shh-secret-chris-pratt-silence-dont-say-gif-17543341

[native sail]

interesting, thank you

[red mortar]

Is 887% chance to inflict a 170 damage frosbite with 254% of cold penetration with frosbite seems good enough or it's very bad damage? Just to know if i think of something else :p

[icy drift]

technically the treshold is at area level 56.458

but obviously that doesn't exist

[desert tree]

If you hit fast that seems good enough

[buoyant roost]

So I posted about this a few days ago... and the numbers are a little more ridiculous now... so this is what I can think Falconer can hit, with a few caveats.

Yeah... that's a billion damage for hit based version :/. I'm sure I dont' have the mechanics correct though

[sinful laurel]

We're up to 1 billion now??? Didn't people show that 500 million was a pretty ludicrous stretch??

[near path]

I need to see the gearing in LE planner to not laugh at this, and even then no guarantees

[wide sentinel]

this is all assuming that both throwing and melee dmg will apply to falconer abilities, which hasnt been confirmed afaik

could be the case that some of its abilities just wont count throwing damage since they have melee tag

[near path]

the base abilities are melee only

some of the subskills will have a throwing tag

[wide sentinel]

yep so throwing dmg already not applying

[near path]

Mike confirmed this in dev chat earlier

100% crit chance for birb +400% crit multi is also wild as all hell, I'd love to see the gearing to think about achieving that

[wide sentinel]

i mean crit multi is easy its just amulet+crit avoidance scaling

but chance is harder ye

[steep marsh]

5 classes in the game its final or they are going to add more in the future or they never talked about it?

[near path]

what, you think getting like 250% crit avoid or something is sensible?

[wide sentinel]

wait sveral years for that

[sinful laurel]

Future is a long time.

[icy drift]

they've said that they're more likely to give each class a fourth mastery before adding a sixth class

[sinful laurel]

But eventually probably. Maybe

[icy drift]

but yeah maybe eventually

[wide sentinel]

ya with wolven flesh and affixes or even blessing if u cap res

[steel merlin]

you should really think of this game having 15 classes

[wide sentinel]

wolven flesh with 2-3lp will be selling like candies on 1.0, im gonna farm it for sure

[near path]

a hundred better body armors and good suffixes exist, just saying

[steel merlin]

14 depending if you count forge guard or not

[cedar locust]

Brutal

[wide sentinel]

if u going for minion dps on falconer dont think so

[wide sentinel]

im sorry who?

https://tenor.com/view/who-dat-snoop-gif-15116696

[versed burrow]

Hey, when the game launches... will it launch with a new season immediately or what will the case be for our old characters etc?

[near path]

#1161416976321744896

[buoyant roost]

I would do so but I need to see if falconer gets some minion increased strike chance on items. So there is some itemization that I'm pretty sure will happen but isn't there yet.

[near path]

when you make an assumption, etc. etc.

[buoyant roost]

As far as I can tell, the Avian Arsenal and Avian Hurl nodes specifically say they take the damage type you are using / throwing and turn it into melee damage for falcon. And then for Talon Knives, that applies the base damage if your dual wield weapons at 1.5x

[buoyant roost]

It's the base from the passives (about 80 or so), plus crit multi minion amulet (100), and then whatever is on your dual wield weapons at 1.5x (from talon knives)

(Just for dive bomb, which is what this calculation is)

[formal dust]

is there a stats window to see how much dmg my minions are doing as necro?

[buoyant roost]

Yep, you are right. I'm guessing not all of this will work out. But it's still an insane amount of damage even if divided by 10.

[violet mortar]

why does the game sometimes load for a very long time when entering a new zone? and is there a way to fix it?

[heady depot]

So I have done the Temporal Sanctum skip tech for the first time, but just realized that I cannot teleport to the map area where the Champion's Gate is (arena map).
What should I do in order to teleport there now?

[native sail]

Serverside issues. Hopefully fixed for 1.0

[buoyant sinew]

you have to go there normally first. it's an exit from the southwest of the wengari fortress in ch 7

[heady depot]

Problem is there I have no teleport in ch7, since I skipped it completely

[buoyant sinew]

yes that's what I mean sorry, you have to go back to ch7 and walk there normally to unlock the waypoint

I don't think there's a way around that

[slender remnant]

Flame wraith necro or hydra runemaster is better build?

[cinder ibex]

Is it just me or is the clicking on loot not registering the click like over half the times? Should I put this in bug reports or are the devs aware?

[light pilot]

Anyone have experience with VK hammersmite and VK warpath? What's normally better 200+ corruption

[buoyant sinew]

I've never had that personally nor ever heard anyone else complaining about it, so sounds good to put in bug reports with some footage or something

[buoyant sinew]

VK warpath is a fine build, hammer smite is a very good (though IMO overrated) build

they're not really in the same league

[light pilot]

Would you say hammersmite is a better?

[cinder ibex]

Yeah it's just like, if you're far away from let's say shards and you left click them - my hero runs to the shards and stands on top of them but not looting. I then need to click once more when standing on top of them to actually loot

[light pilot]

Playing warpath atm

[cinder ibex]

happens quite often

[buoyant sinew]

yes that was my point

[light pilot]

sweet ty

[cinder ibex]

I wonder if its loot filter hidden loot that is "in the way"

[wide sentinel]

Finish bastion dungeon

[midnight elm]

Thank you 😄

[wanton hatch]

for someone that hasnt played in 18 months, what did htey end up doing with trading. in game / not?

[native sail]

Not in game yet, in game at 1.0, scroll up a while in news

[midnight elm]

Soo 1 of the things i love about d4 is i see people randomly in the world and also in the towns, Does any of this happen in LE?

[native sail]

#news message (Here @wanton hatch )

[wanton hatch]

wow this must be huge then. ill go read it now, but how was it received by community. accepted? people excited?

[native sail]

In towns yes, not outside towns as the world is sectioned off area by area and instanced

[native sail]

They hit a good solution for everyone imo

Most people are excited for it

[midnight elm]

Whats it like in the towns, a lot of people or like up to 5?

[native sail]

Dunno the limit, mine usually are pretty populated (most towns aren't very large). A dozen or so maybe more?

[midnight elm]

So i know i shouldnt compare to d4, im just trying to get a rough idea of what this is like. So with d4 it has an open world part and within that you can take on stuff and random people can come and join you. can things like that happen in this?

[buoyant sinew]

no

D4 is the only aRPG that has anything like that

[mellow zenith]

does any1 have a comparison for spriggan thorn totems between maxroll staff version and ferebor set version?

[midnight elm]

Ahhh okay

[native sail]

No, this game is more akin to PoE in that regard. Instanced areas outside of towns with only players in your party showing up. There's no open world stuff and iirc no plans for it as they want the game to be viable solo first

[buoyant sinew]

this is more similar to all the other aRPGs (if you've played any of them), where non-town areas are instanced and you only see party members if you have them

[midnight elm]

Yh i grew up on d1 and d2 never played any other rpg besides diablo really

couldnt get into PoE

[native sail]

PoE is.... complex and obtuse. Can't blame you. I play the hell out of it but I don't really recommend it to people unless they're okay with struggling for a long time.

[midnight elm]

Its a game i did really want to try, and ive always felt gutted that i just couldnt enjoy it

I cant explain it but if you cant sink hours and hour into it regularly it just felt like dont play this game lol

[native sail]

Pretty much, yeah

I have several thousand hours in it and don't really mind dedicating time to it but that's because I rotate what game I'm "maining" pretty regularly

[midnight elm]

Yeah i get that. but this game has me very very close to buying it i cant lie

[native sail]

Worst case scenario you don't think you'll enjoy it within a couple hours and you can refund it

[formal dust]

no way to see that?

[torn cliff]

Will EHG be wiping everyones online progress for 1.0?

[native sail]

#1161416976321744896

[wanton hatch]

how do i rbeak down lowbie items into crafting mats. or is that not a thing. cant remember.

[native sail]

Rune of shattering

I wouldn't recommend doing it super often early on as runes are a bit scarce until you're in monos

[wanton hatch]

oh. otherwise jsut finding them on the ground

[native sail]

You can buy some shatters frfom vendors, like 2k gold a piece?

[midnight elm]

Yeah thats true

[warped bramble]

hi, just bought the game - at what level can we party with friends?

[royal lichen]

Hello, is there going to be reset for 1.0 and some kind of league/season/mechanic?

[native sail]

At level 1, hit H

[native sail]

#1161416976321744896 (no cycle exclusive mechanic)

[royal lichen]

Nice thanks

What about the reset tho?

[native sail]

Answered in the faq

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1187326924754788362
Specifically this one

[royal lichen]

Thanks once again

Cheers

[wanton hatch]

If you go to town and then come back down your portal, the items on the floor are gone?

[native sail]

The zones reset. Generally you shouldn't be going back and forth much though

[wanton hatch]

ok. so dont leave a bunch of items on the ground from a boss, with a full inventory and expect to be able to go up and sell then com eback to get the loot

[native sail]

Yeah, selling is pretty bad here.

[wide sentinel]

U....arent supposed to sell items

U get more gold from 1 gold shrine than vendoring all items u farmed in 5hours

[remote mirage]

can this really roll something like 45% on a 1x1 lol

[native sail]

I'm 90% sure different item slots have different "multipliers" to affixes and you just see the base value there

[wide sentinel]

No

[remote mirage]

very weird tooltip for a 1x1 then

then again i guess that is the only way you can link those affixes on build guides

[native sail]

If you look at it in the planner for a 1x1 it shows the proper values

[remote mirage]

yep

[rough reef]

Best Monolith for farming tier 7 weapons?

[wide sentinel]

All of them

[pastel badge]

Is it safe to fool around with mods on an offline character?

[wicked plover]

you can do offline what you want

[native sail]

Sure, you're offline, they don't police that

[pastel badge]

Neat thanks

[tepid mist]

One thing I don't feel very confident with in this game is evaluating gear. Knowing what to keep, what to shatter, and what to leave on the ground. I've seen people mention to keep certain blue items, yet to me, I don't see why you would want to. I've had them all hidden for most of my playthrough so far.

I want to make a solid loot filter to use, but it's way beyond my gear understanding so far

[wicked plover]

you want to pickup "trash" items that have rare affixes on them which you want to use for crafting

for example +level of some skill you are using

[tepid mist]

Yeah that makes sense. The rare ones.

But as far as potential actual upgrades to use....I should be looking for what? Other than the obvious affixes I want

[wicked plover]

well that depends completely on your build

is your dmg fine? do you die often?

[willow tusk]

At what time the 21st is it launching? Is it midnight eu? is it 10 in the morning? Noon? Evening?

[stark wing]

im watching a video rn explaining crafting, is there a reason not to pick up everything and rune of shater everything?

[wicked plover]

afternoon cet

i think 6pm cet

[tepid mist]

No reason to shatter items that have no affixes you're interested in

[stark wing]

are they individual?

[wicked plover]

you get natural affix shard drops, the common affixes you dont need to shatter, you get tnough of those

[stark wing]

between characters i mean

[tepid mist]

@wicked plover Whats the deal with "experimental" affixes? I've noticed the exiled mages have high drop rates of them. Is there something unique about those affixes?

[wicked plover]

nah they are shared between chars if they are in the same game mode

[willow tusk]

Thanks mate!

[wicked plover]

you cant share hardcore with softcore for example

or offline with online

[stark wing]

i would only play one mode

[wicked plover]

wellt he unique thing about them is that you can only get them there ^^

you pretty much get a guaranteed sealed affix with them and the craft with the rest

if any of those affixes seem useful to you go for it

[tepid mist]

thanks, do you have a good resource for affix rarity? Trying to figure out what to add to my filter for blue items

[wicked plover]

the rarest ones are in my experience hybrid health, +level of skill and any class specific shards, you can use those on head and body armour

if you go into your filter at the bottom you can see class specific affixes, those are the rare ones

[tepid mist]

Thanks for all your help

[rough reef]

Anyone have a good loot filter they use for Frost claw?

[willow tusk]

maxroll has a guide for frostclaw with a loot filter

i cant vouch for its quality though but i assume it should be sound

[tepid mist]

This is exactly what I'm trying to accomplish as well haha

[sonic quest]

Hi community. I have a steam deck. And this sort of game is killer on steam deck. I have dabbled with controller layouts for Last Epoch a few times. Is there one that you all recommend?

[violet mortar]

ah so this is a common issue? i'm relieved

i'm also experiencing occasional rubberbanding, is this also a common problem?

[native sail]

That one's less common but not unknown about

Worst case scenario you can try connecting to a different server

[violet mortar]

unfortunately for me eu west is the only one with decent connection

[wicked plover]

low ping doesnt mean better connection

[native sail]

Just try it anyway tbh. Ping won't be super impactful until you're at like 200+ in my experience

[worthy linden]

Is there a FAQ page? trying to see what the max level is and how many pts we get to place into our talents

[native sail]

100 and 20 respectively

Items can get you more than 20 points in skills

[worthy linden]

ty

[native sail]

(If you're curious, the max amount of passive points is 113)

[worthy linden]

and one more annoying questing theres no Blacksmith or Salvage for gear right in order to get materials? I know theres a system to do that with very good gear but just asking for lower level stuff or if thats more for selling

[native sail]

Runes of shattering are your friends. Also don't sell things to vendors, it ain't worth the gold.

[neat anvil]

Do my summoned spriggan's vines get MY +Minion Damage bonuses (I know they don't get bonuses to vines from spriggan form skill tree)

[worthy linden]

so even white items dont sell? dont even pick up basically?

[hidden ember]

If i buy from nexus.gg i can upgrade the version basic to deluxe in the future?

[toxic echo]

You should never even see white items. Block them with filter

[native sail]

Sure, Nexus just gives you a Steam key after all

[hidden ember]

But its a key are u sure i can upgrade it in the future?

😮

[native sail]

Yes

Steam keys are just a way of adding a product to your account that wasn't purchased directly through Steam's shop, doesn't impact what you can do with the game in any way.

[hidden ember]

so.. nexus.gg give me instaant key or need to wait ? full release 21

[formal dust]

Where do pebbles set 3rd party drop from ( i have relic and belt)

[native sail]

Nobody has to wait as there's no like gated access or anything, just input your key into Steam and go ahead

[native sail]

Anywhere the area level is high enough

[hidden ember]

ty

[native sail]

No prob

[exotic plinth]

I just changed my build but I didnt realise I would have regrind this is there anyway to grind exp fast for my Skills

[native sail]

Not really. It gets easier the further in you go though.

[violet mortar]

is that volatile zombie the same as the one with the belt affix?

[native sail]

Yes

[violet mortar]

i mean does the skill tree affect them?

[exotic plinth]

is there any area you would recommend I start at

Im cooked in my current zone

[native sail]

Yep it does

[violet mortar]

well that's cool

[native sail]

Just whatever is the highest you can handle, really. They gain exp as you do.

[lyric zodiac]

Is there a way to craft a weapon with a high level char for a new character?

[native sail]

Considering gear has a level requirement based on the affixes, not really. Best I can offer is uniques only use their level requirement even when upgraded to legendaries.

[lyric zodiac]

thats what I thought as well

[hardy panther]

Sorry for being new to this, but are there things I should do in the game before the launch? Campaign, unlocks, etc, that carry over into a fresh league/season?

[native sail]

Just your knowledge

[violet mortar]

is the game starting with a "league" btw?

[native sail]

Mhm

No exclusive mechanic for it though, won't be anything exclusive for at least the first few (lemme find my Mike screenshot on it)

[violet mortar]

ah so technically there's no permanent "league" to start with, we're just hopping straight into a cycle

[silk briar]

Does anyone know if the full release will have major changes applied upon release? Is it worth booting it up and starting a character now or will it all be for naught come the 21st?

[violet mortar]

i'd have sworn i read somewhere that they'd start on the permanent servers first so people would get to learn the game before getting into cycles

[wicked plover]

there wil be balance changes, nobody can tell you what those will look like

[violet mortar]

something about a window to iron out bugs/balance

[native sail]

There is legacy coming with 1.0

Or rather

We're in legacy right now

[silk briar]

balance changes sure, but nothing that will make a character made now irrelevant?

i'm honestly just trying to decide wether to download and start playing tonight or not lol

[ember urchin]

when I join a party, I don't see party portraits top left. did anyone else exp this?

[buoyant sinew]

main features are:

• two new masteries (subclasses)
• item factions
• first new cycle (though no cycle exclusive mechanic)

the first and last of these could arguably be reasons to wait. it depends on you

[wicked plover]

just do it, worst case you had fun and leanred a bit about the game pre launch

[silk briar]

Thanks fellas

[violet mortar]

well then, what is "legacy" after 1.0?

[native sail]

Have you played PoE or Diablo? It's standard/eternal.

[violet mortar]

poe mostly

[tepid mist]

How come my mana goes to negative values sometimes?

[native sail]

Cool. We're in standard right now and that's not disappearing at 1.0, they'll just also run the first cycle (league) at 1.0

[hidden ember]

I buy the game in nexus.gg and now i can't upgrade , upgrade cost all the price.

xD

[native sail]

Scroll down

[tranquil pike]

Do sealed affixes have a chance to be added to items with LP when making a legendary?

[buoyant sinew]

because that's allowed in LE

[native sail]

Nope, sealed affixes aren't counted

[tranquil pike]

Wonnnnnderful thank you

[buoyant sinew]

your mana can go negative and then it needs to go positive again for you to use non-0-cost skills

[hidden ember]

LOL , TRUE

[buoyant sinew]

it continues recovering normally while negative

but it means that you can still say, use a 50 cost skill when you have 10 mana

[native sail]

Cannot begin to explain why it's sorted like this, it just is

[hidden ember]

true.

Good morning 🌅

[glossy pulsar]

Hi all, I just bought the game and I'm getting a "Forbidden Display Name" error when trying to create my name (same as my Discord name). I was about to submit a ticket to ask what's up but I figured I'd ask here really quick to maybe save both myself and the support team some time if any of you know if that's possibly just a really poorly worded error indicating the name was in use already?

[steel merlin]

Can someone write dix in ingame chat

[native sail]

That might be a straight to support problem, I have only heard this once before and they had a space in their name

[steel merlin]

Also can someone make me sleep

[native sail]

Gimme a sec I have a reaction image to send you for this

[glossy pulsar]

Definitely no space in the name or at the end. I appreciate the response, I'll shoot a message off to support. Thanks!

[worthy linden]

is there an easier way to put items in the stash instead of clickign and moving

[polar depot]

Shift right click

[inland rapids]

Guys newbie/stupid question if i play rn everything its gonna be reset the 21 of feb? I mean its gonna begin a season or something?

[native sail]

A season (cycle here) will start, your current stuff stays in what is called legacy (standard if you played PoE, eternal if you played Diablo. If neither uh... permanent season)

[tepid mist]

If experimental affixes are "sealed" then shouldn't I be able to add another affix to an experimental item? But yet I can't

[native sail]

You're not out of FP are you?

[tepid mist]

no, it's a brand new item

[native sail]

can you post it real quick?

[tepid mist]

Can't I already shattered it

[inland rapids]

Ok ok ty for the information. If i play rn until the 21 im gonna have some perks that i dont have to do later again like for example "The Litith Statues" of D4 where you take it 1 time and never again in the new season

[native sail]

Nope. LE doesn't have anything that carries over seasons.

[inland rapids]

ohh

[digital wagon]

Can you get LP on items by using rune of ascendance?

or do they have to drop

[native sail]

You can but your odds are worse

[digital wagon]

aight ty

Also can boss uniques like ravenous void drop from the unique gloves echo rewards and ascendance runes?

and soulfire bastion for that matter?

[worthy linden]

Even better question, when should I actually start to worry about my gear and stats and talents

[native sail]

Rav is both a global and a boss unique, it's the only one of its kind. All other boss items can only come from their respective boss items.

[inland rapids]

Every class i see rn its gonna be released too at 21? or its gonna be capped at idk 3 class for season or something like that ?

Sorry for all the questions btw

[native sail]

All. We're just missing two right now because they weren't finished yet.

[digital wagon]

Ahh okay cool ty sm! doing gods work

[inland rapids]

nice nice

[native sail]

Ideally, almost always. If not, you'll get a very rude awakening in about chapter 7

[inland rapids]

We can reset Talents/Builds?

[native sail]

Everything except your mastery (and main class, obviously)

[worthy linden]

So i have things like glacier and disenigrate beam but i cant use those abilities yet, why?

[native sail]

Have you spent passives in the Mage tree?

[worthy linden]

i have

[native sail]

can you explain exactly what the issue is? Cuz you should be able to

[onyx briar]

Have you assigned them to your skill bar?

[native sail]

^ That's what I was gonna suggest next

[worthy linden]

let me take a look and see I was just able to move my ward ability so ill tkae a closer look

[native sail]

(Try just clicking the bar, a lot of people try to drag skills onto, for some reason that doesn't work online)

[inland rapids]

Guys mm maybe the a tricky question, the $15 version or the $30?

[native sail]

Uh... the base game is $35, are you looking at the deluxe/ultimate?

[inland rapids]

Ah prices are diferent for me

[native sail]

Oh

Regional moment

[inland rapids]

the Ultimate its $30 for me

the standart $15

[native sail]

Do you care about cosmetics?

[inland rapids]

Its only cosmetics things?

[native sail]

Yeah

They're not planning on any paid content, period.

[inland rapids]

Ahh nice nice then standart until i find my favorite class.

ty for everything btw

[native sail]

No problem. It's relatively calm in here right now and I'm not doing much right now, so I'm just answering questions to pass time

[digital wagon]

Hwo do u best farm for something like this?

Seems insanely lucky to get good exalted on good base

[native sail]

You pray to god.

[digital wagon]

lol

[worthy linden]

So essentialy low level stuff is useless until you can trade or start an alt?

[buoyant sinew]

the most you can do is go farm T4 temporal sanctum on a helmet day. still just RNG. trade for it after 1.0

[toxic echo]

Maybe helmet days in dungeons...but something like that is not likely to ever happen

[faint plinth]

whats best waifu

[buoyant sinew]

low level random items? yes, unless you're picking them up them to wear or shatter immediately

[digital wagon]

Cant wait for trade, but that ssf faction system is making it hard to choose which to play. both seem really fun

[polar pendant]

can I seal more than one affix? with the 2nd one just replacing the previous sealed one

[native sail]

Nope

[buoyant sinew]

nope

[wide sentinel]

if u want to push at least one character to the limits then trade, if u dont care for that then u can play whatever u want

[polar pendant]

Didnt think so, ty

[trail moss]

How does the multiplayer work in LE? is it similar to PoE where you're together, but loots instanced? will I see strangers in the world, or just friends?

[buoyant sinew]

it's very similar to PoE. campaign progression and quest states are a bit more generous, and loot is completely instanced (but you can gift loot you find together to each other), but yeah overall feels about the same.

you only see strangers in towns, outside towns it's fully instanced so just you and party members

[errant cobalt]

Can i play this game today? Will the game change a lot when 1.0 releases? I dont want to get a bad experience.

[trail moss]

beautiful thanks spark!

[buoyant sinew]

you can play it today. it's already a very good game. significant amounts of polish coming with 1.0 alongside some new content

[errant cobalt]

Thanks, i think i should wait 10 more days and get the full experience. I am just getting impatient because i have nothing to play right now lol.

[rich dock]

Hey I just found out about this game, I played POE and DIablo 4 and I followed build guides for both, should I do the same for this game? or can I just make up my own build as I play?

[polar pendant]

totally up to you, i can tell you that you dont really need a guide for this tho

[candid epoch]

Hi, is this game available now ?

[buoyant sinew]

yes, full release in 9 days but it's been in beta for years so is already playable

[candid epoch]

Awesomeness

[mystic wedge]

i'm assuming all progress is wiped upon release?

[native sail]

#1161416976321744896

[vapid wedge]

Does "Melee" tag on a skill get affected by "physical ailment damage"?

[native sail]

No, physical ailment damage is exactly what it sounds like, damage for physical ailments.

https://www.lastepochtools.com/ailments/

[vapid wedge]

right, gotcha

[native sail]

(basically... bleed. That's the only prominent one)

[vapid wedge]

so to say, this boots is useless on a spellblade?

[buoyant sinew]

unless you're a bleed spellblade

[vapid wedge]

as compared to my current boots

the crit strike multiplier

[native sail]

I mean, they're good boots if you get high LP and slam well. Fastest boots in the game, theoretically.

[wanton hatch]

Why does my currently equipped staff do more tooltip damage with my spells (Elemental Nova and Lightning Blast) comapred to the magic staff with increased spell damage. that doesnt feel right

[native sail]

Ignite chance is inflating your tooltip damage, happens all the time especially at low levels

[wanton hatch]

oh sheesh. thx

[wide sentinel]

i feel like on 1.0 we will have both ig and discord chat flooded with tooltip dps confusion

[native sail]

Probably. I have an escape though.

[buoyant sinew]

my escape is going to be "don't read this server for a week" I think

[wide sentinel]

my escape would be muting this discord

[buoyant sinew]

maybe dip into #💀┃acolyte occasionally

[wide sentinel]

[buoyant sinew]

I keep this server muted permanently!

[surreal verge]

Same

[empty rivet]

guys, always losting conection :\ cant play, any1 know how to fix this»?

[wide sentinel]

try different server

[native sail]

You're not hiding anything

[wide sentinel]

all items are shown by default

so your filter as of now doesnt do anything

[gilded geyser]

guys, im stuck on this screen, what do i do ?

And i want to change the game language to english, where do i do that ?

[wide sentinel]

close the game,force close steam through task manager and restart the steam/game

might also try verifying files

[gilded geyser]

i just installed the game

[wide sentinel]

happens

[gilded geyser]

ok, goona try, thanks

[wide sentinel]

if u cant login for the first time most likely its steam server verification issue

[gilded geyser]

about the language, where can i change it ?

[wide sentinel]

idk

[gilded geyser]

ok

[inland rapids]

Do u guys choose the region with "more people"? or with less ping? US central , East or West

[surreal verge]

It's only current server, you can always jump to others.

Make a hide all items rule at the bottom.

[inland rapids]

Ohh nice to know

[runic hinge]

Do we have any info beyond what's in the tooltip from the reveal about the Witchfire scaling on Warlock's "Grimhilde's Domain" node?

screenshot for reference:

The description says damage per chance to ignite/damned, but the tooltips below aren't phrased that way. Are they that much per point per ailment chance (top one ignite, bottom one damned)? If so, isn't 30% more damage per damned chance at 5/5 ridiculously high? You can fairly easily get like 400% global damned chance, that'd be 12000% more damage...

[gilded geyser]

anything i can do about ?

Already verify the files..

[empty rivet]

so, with 1.0 start the first season? how it works? will my char move to "standard"

[runic hinge]

Existing characters move to legacy, new characters can be made in season, no "league mechanic" for the first season but they plan to do those eventually.

[empty rivet]

hum so, i need to create a new char for 1.0 right

[runic hinge]

yes, existing characters will all go to legacy (standard)

[empty rivet]

ok

[runic hinge]

as will your stash and crafting mats and stuff

fresh start if you wanna play in season

[flint yew]

gotta remember its limited to 1 stack, 12000% more damage is 120 stacks on a stackable ailment so it needs that multiplier to be relevant

[molten swift]

is there a solid poison and minion build i have a lot of extra gear for both of those

im guessing necro but not sure

just looking for a good build guide

[runic hinge]

The runemaster brand ailments with max 1 stack are viable with 1% more damage per ailment chance. I guess maybe if Witchfire's base damage is very low (much lower than like a single ignite) it could work? But 30% more damage per ailment chance is really high unless the base damage is extremely low.

[worthy tiger]

How is class balance atm? Played a couple months ago and primalist were pretty meh back then

[sinful laurel]

Primalist is def not meh

[wicked plover]

https://youtu.be/WwLoH54WVOs?si=kuo0Z0PramfGZfyd

maybe this is smth for you

[wicked plover]

close steam, restart pc

we will get big bug fixes and stability stuff with 1.0, yes

[dull pelican]

Looking at this skill node for Ghostflame on maxroll, does the chance per second going over 100% mean that it can apply multiple stacks per second?

[wicked plover]

yes

200% chance means 2 stacks per second and so on

[dull pelican]

Understood. Thank you! ❤️

[clever loom]

can somone help me plese?
i think im softlocked

i can't interact with the pedestals

[wicked plover]

teleport back to town and go back

if that doesnt work then relog

[clever loom]

i trided every thing from going back to town to uninstaling the game and re instaling

[wicked plover]

have you collected both fragments?

[clever loom]

well i think so
at leas the game tells me so

[wicked plover]

can you press M and check if the quest marker is gone on each side

[wicked plover]

well you did everything right

i was googling for a solution, i saw it ^^

[clever loom]

ah sorry

[clever loom]

did you find any thing?

[wicked plover]

try interacting with the altar to the south, maybe that triggers smth

[clever loom]

already tried

[wicked plover]

well i didnt find anything, normaly teleporting or relogging fixes quest bugs
you can open a support ticket and if you want continue playing in end of times until your quest gets fixed

!support

[ripe brook]

Anything we can help with? We've support articles and a contact form at https://support.lastepoch.com/.

[clever loom]

well thanks for tryng

[wicked plover]

worst case it will get fixed next week with the big patch

[lethal oxide]

Hey folks, the build I'm playing and guide I'm loosely following recommends azzul's fury as the belt, but I'm finding the potion auto pickup and heal is just brutal with this. It completely limits my ability to choose when I want to activate the belt's ability...this feels less like a skill thing and more like a poor design choice, am I missing something? I'm new and have done a bit of digging but all I've turned up is people saying change your build so you get ward instead of health from pots.

Seems like a large adjustment from the player for something that shouldn't have to be played around. Have devs stated they want the gameplay to feel this way specifically?

[surreal verge]

Pots don’t auto pick up if you have no missing health

[lethal oxide]

I don't see this as helpful in answering my question, but thank you for the response.

[wicked plover]

are you talking about the bleed hammerdin build?

[lethal oxide]

yeah you got it

[wicked plover]

well

the build has like 3-4k ward so what kzb is actually your answer
if you have that much ward your health will almost never deplete, therefore you will never auto pick up pots
the health to ward conversion is so you dont trigger the belt by accident

[lethal oxide]

is there ward conversion or something later on that I'm missing

[surreal verge]

Wait huh? How does that belt help hammerdin?

[wicked plover]

good base

thats all

[surreal verge]

[wicked plover]

since you dont trigger the passive

honestly @lethal oxide you can use any other belt

it doesnt matter

[lethal oxide]

I'm all for learning and maybe there's a better belt entirely, but I just thought it was an odd interaction

Yeah I think the guide literally just likes the 26 health regen

[wicked plover]

dont use the belt, its just some nonsense min max shenanigans that will cause more confusion than being helpful

especially if your gear isnt at that stage yet

[lethal oxide]

yeah understood, I see the gg amulet and relic give massive ward retention etc which I'm sure helps the problem

I think I still prefer the idea of a potion auto pickup toggle, as I find it odd that it's forced, but the context you've provided helps, ty

[wicked plover]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1123697853882187847

[pallid vapor]

when skilling something up, some words in the tooltip are underlined in white. is there a way to highlight over those names to get a definition?

[surreal verge]

a good chunk of the time, holding alt helps

[wicked plover]

if that doesnt help put the word you are looking for in the search bar and hold alt, hover over everything that glows

at some point you will get a description of what you are looking for

not ideal, but works

[pallid vapor]

thanks!

[native sail]

Oh yeah. Azurral is fucking useless for almost everything. If you aren't running a Vessel of Strife build, don't touch it.

[lethal oxide]

yeah the endgame build uses vessel, but again, there's little explanation covering the problems you create for yourself if you don't have vessel but use azurral

[native sail]

Yup. Leave it alone til you have Vessel.

[near path]

it is unfortunately true that there are far more bad guides than good ones out there

[native sail]

Otherwise it's a net negative on your build.

[native sail]

Tbf, Vessel hammersmite is good. It's just really expensive gearing.

[lethal oxide]

I appreciate the guide either way

it led me here to ask questions and I learned something

[vapid wedge]

Any idea why this item isn't being highlighted via the loot filter? I have melee fire damage set.

[near path]

store them, you have effectively infinite shard storage

[native sail]

Did you miss the transfer crafting materials button?

[wicked plover]

have you checke if there is any rule above that overrides this rule

loot filter rule priority goes from top to bottom

[vapid wedge]

The rules are these. Maybe because I put Mage?

[wicked plover]

any point of not keeping it? you have infinite stash space for shards

[native sail]

^

[vapid wedge]

Hm, that doesn't seem like the issue

[wicked plover]

weapon is not a mage item

[near path]

what are the selected item types

[vapid wedge]

nvm, I removed it and it worked

[vapid wedge]

just one handed swords

[native sail]

The only class specific weapon type in the game is bow

[vapid wedge]

and catalysts

[near path]

swords are usable by mages

[vapid wedge]

and armor

[native sail]

Nope. Anyone can use catalysts.

[vapid wedge]

but I don't like it when it highlights another class' item

armors is the issue

[native sail]

And I said weapon type

[vapid wedge]

and accessories

[wicked plover]

there is no function to reroll shards into smth else

[vapid wedge]

it highlighted a quiver with melee speed

so I put mage to counter that

[native sail]

Quivers aren't accessories

They're offhands

[near path]

you can theoretically do some random bullshit like use one random affix then Chaos Glyph it to try to hit something you want for which you don't have a shard

but don't ever do this

[native sail]

Accessories = rings, belts, amulets

Quivers also aren't class specific btw

Anyone can wear a quiver

[near path]

which is quite funny

[native sail]

You just can't use a weapon with it other than bows

The only class specific items that aren't unique are helmets, body armor, relics (but not ALL relics), and bows.

[vapid wedge]

yeah, I think the issue was it was highlighting other class items with melee speed

which is what I didn't like

[native sail]

And I guess idols

[vapid wedge]

so I added the mage filter. But I guess some swords doesn't get highlighted in the end

[native sail]

Swords aren't explicitly Mage items, so yeah

The filter is doing exactly what you tell it to do

[vapid wedge]

I'm not sure why after removing the mage filter, it works tho. Other swords works with the mage filter on

Like if the sword has melee speed, it gets highlighted even with the mage filter

[native sail]

Odds are you have a rule above that counters it

[vapid wedge]

except the fire damage

[wanton fox]

hey guys, is there anything like poe headhunters and such, what i mean are, items that are really valuable to sell to others for much, etc

or crafted items that goes for much if crafted right

[native sail]

How do we explain theoretically but we don't know in practice?

[vapid wedge]

For example, my filter filters melee damage. This works with the mage filter. But

[silent pagoda]

hi i saw this writing in maxroll
Upgrade or buy your next weapon each time you reach the appropriate level.
what does appropriate level referring to? like at what level?

[vapid wedge]

this doesn't work, with the mage filter. Although it's also set to filter to fire damages

It should be highlighting with at least 1 affix found

[limpid maple]

Weapon base

[native sail]

Again, it is possible some other rule is picking it up, Astero. Otherwise, bug report.

[vapid wedge]

Right, ty. I'll play with it more and see if it's my fault first

[limpid maple]

Yes and yes

[wanton fox]

thats nice, also, endgame content is really challenging and requires to push every time further?

[limpid maple]

The current main endgame system has infinite scaling so depending how good you and your build is depends how far you can push. There is also an infinite arena mode with waves and a leaderboard

[frozen pumice]

I would say you would have smooth progress with a decent build in early endgame

[near path]

there is nothing in this game with the level of power and universality of a Headhunter

[near path]

starts out pretty casual and then scales up to quite rippy. Completely in your hands how far you want to push

[limpid maple]

Yes but he's asking if there are chase items that you can sell on the market, that's it

He literally said "what I mean, items that are really valuable to sell to others"

[frozen pumice]

probably early version wings of argentus

[wanton fox]

Thanks<3

[runic hinge]

Do we know yet if the mana gain from Murama applies to triggered Harvest? It doesn't say "directly use," does that mean yes? Or do we not know yet because Reap wasn't triggerable until Chaos Bolts?

[sage shale]

is blue faction no trading?

[faint cape]

We don't know 100%, but Mike said he's pretty sure it's direct use only.

[surreal verge]

Not known, but since it uses the “use” wording rather than “hit” or “cast”, direct use only most likely

[faint cape]

Sounds right to me. Trade faction is yellow?

[sage shale]

yea I guess

[faint plinth]

We need red faction

You get items by killing other players

Would be cool 😎

[brittle bramble]

if i increase my own poison damage, do minions/companions get increased poison damage too?

[peak oracle]

can volatile zombie explosion crit?

[native sail]

No, minions are only affected by affixes that say minion

[compact notch]

can i reset ma points ?

[native sail]

90% sure yes but it scales off of their crit chance

[native sail]

Yes. Check in with the brain NPC in towns.

[peak oracle]

so that could be a potential amulet i could use?

[faint cape]

Yes

[peak oracle]

hum... this makes my build a lot more interesting

ah sacrifice sucks for my build huh

[faint cape]

Probably, if you're a minion build

[peak oracle]

Chaos Bolt -> Explode my own Volatile Zombies

so sacrifice has no use.

Im using Chaos Bolt + Zombies + Chthnoic Fissure + Profane Veil (Warlock) for now, im not sure which skill to use as 5th

[faint cape]

Possibly transplant or skeleport

[surreal verge]

Yeah, no transplant? Unless veli’s your traversal

[stoic birch]

Hey all, I’m a Poe player coming over to LE, what is the best starter class and build to go towards?

[gentle valve]

I've been doing some mono's to complete my blessings, I just wanted to ask what the blue line is on the outer part of the blessing icon?

does it mean it levels up and increases in stats?

[cinder fossil]

visual representation of the roll you got on the blessing

[feral niche]

can i get access to target dummy at lvl 20? seems i need heborea unlocked? lvl 46

[gentle valve]

ohhhhhhh

lmao thank you. I thought it means it levels up into something higher..hahahaha

[surreal verge]

Sadly nope

[desert flume]

my interface text somehow looks like this, is there any way to fix it?

[near path]

known bug

will be fixed in 1.0

[desert flume]

gotcha, thanks

i thought i was going blind lmao

[peak oracle]

last is prob transplant yeah. Veil is mostly just another zombie generator

i had Fear on transplant before, but its meh, so now i just need to find a decent tree for it

a way to nicely optimize Veil

and passives

[median swan]

Are the lower tier supporter packs included in the higher tier packs? Or would they have to be purchased separately?

[vapid wedge]

When making a legendary item, is the highlighted stat random or based off the exalted purple highlighted stat?

[surreal verge]

Random

[vapid wedge]

Random as in, from my exalted item stats, right?

[cedar nacelle]

Is there a road map for what is planed after launch?

[next wadi]

where i can find these idols?

[nimble apex]

is there any way to auto generate potions, not relying on picking them up?

[near path]

random drop, idol shrines, idol reward caches, and idol reward echoes in Monos

[near path]

nope

[next wadi]

Thanks!

[near path]

also the chance is much higher if you're playing an Acolyte class

[nimble apex]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/itemsets/SAzAcQ pebble's set bonus says chance to replenish potions, what does replenish mean here?

[near path]

huh, god damn I didn't know that one

[bright lichen]

Do you guys think its worth it to do the bonus stability in the echos?

[near path]

my bad then, apparently there IS one way to replenish pots that doesn't involve picking them up

my bad lol

holy obscure info batman

[surreal verge]

Yup, any of the 4 on the item

[leaden tundra]

is there gonna be seasons? season mech

[native sail]

Yes, but keep this info in mind

[nimble apex]

though to be fair, it's 5% chance on a slow attacking minion sooo probably not particularly powerful

[bitter pewter]

kinda stupid question. i want to buy the game rn, but are we gonna pay again after the full release

[native sail]

Nope

[bitter pewter]

ok thanks

[candid pagoda]

Is there anything like MOM from poe ( damage taken from mana )

for rogue

[icy cradle]

What does the blue line around blessings mean?

[buoyant sinew]

there's some % damage taken from mana (with each mana counting as 5 health) stuff but it's all mage exclusive off the top of my head

[desert tree]

No

[buoyant sinew]

how well rolled they are

full circle would be max roll

[icy cradle]

Fml. Do I do the same monoloith for a chance to reroll, and are they universal?

[buoyant sinew]

you can grind out a better roll by repeating the same mono boss but don't do that until empowered if you aren't there already, empowered monos have higher values on the blessings already

and yes they're just extra stats on your character

[icy cradle]

Thanks

[stark wing]

is monster density on LE on the lower side? all footage i have seen packs seem separated and i have never seen skills like the trielement cicling beam(idk the name) do nothing significant

[storm blaze]

They're going to increase the density

[stark wing]

i have seen the last interview and they are going to tune it up so its not a deal breaker

[quartz estuary]

Best way to progress with lvls? empowered monoliths are really cheeseball easy and not much exp

[cloud rose]

It's not automatic, but Rogues specifically who specialize in Ballista can create potions after some delay. With one point, the Ballista drops a potion when it expires. With two points, it drops one potion halfway through its duration, then one more when it expires.

[silent pagoda]

whats the difference between this choices?

[peak oracle]

it says the difference in purple

[surreal verge]

That’s your best bet

[silent pagoda]

should i just take the highest then?

[peak oracle]

kinda up to you? i think yu have to do all of them once anyways

[silent pagoda]

ahhhhh its for the branch is it

okok

[silent pagoda]

ok i opened up the highest lv, what if i want to go to the other side? do the quest again?

[peak oracle]

been a while since i did it honestly so i dont remember exactly

[sharp current]

You don't have to do them all to unlock empowered monos. Only the last 3, level 90 timelines. If you want to do the other timeline on normal then yes, you would need to repeat that timeline and choose the other option.

[quartz estuary]

thanks

[sharp current]

Once you unlock empowered monos all the timelines are unlocked.

[silent pagoda]

ahh okay thankss

[desert tree]

Crank up the Corruption

More Corruption come with more exp

[mystic ocean]

any way to have scroll wheel up and down as force move?

[peak oracle]

if i get Necro shred, does it apply to my minion explosion damage?

[surreal verge]

Yes, if your minion explosion is necrotic

[peak oracle]

oh nice i love that. Im finally looking into what items / affixes i want, so this one is quite nice

[peak oracle]

ive seen that apparently EHG are adding "minion resistance pen" affixes in 1.0..? Is that only for minion attacks? Or how would that work with the minion explosion

[surreal verge]

I have no idea the fuck you talking about, but if true, it’s resistance penetration for minions

[surreal verge]

Minion explosions are minion attacks

[honest sierra]

how long does it take to reach 100?

[surreal verge]

[peak oracle]

So then Volatile Zombies would not work with my res shred on a relic for exemple? It would need the minion res shred affix?

[surreal verge]

Yup, because they’re for you, not for your minions. The usual “minion” affix rule applies

[peak oracle]

alright, ig ill have to wait until patch notes hits anyways before looking too much into it

since some new affixes and all might come

[pliant marlin]

does increased spell damage% affect poison if I poison with a spell?

[native sail]

No, poison is not spell damage

[pliant marlin]

right, I thought so but wanted to make sure. thanks

[halcyon marsh]

Will the rankings be reset after the launch of 1.0? And will all characters created so far be moved offline or will it be possible to play them online in patch 1.0?

[compact granite]

Hi, question on the Lagon fight, I'm on dancing blades rouge if I get hit just once on first phase or third I die.

how do I even do anything to get passed it, I can't even get hit??

[native sail]

Leaderboard gets reset every cycle and is only available within the cycle. Current characters go to legacy (standard/eternal depending on if you've played the big names in the genre)

[storm blaze]

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

[rough shuttle]

Missread..

[storm blaze]

Yes.

[compact granite]

anyone?

[storm blaze]

Upgrade your gear and avoid getting hit

[compact granite]

I've tried over and over, how do I upgrade my gear just run around open areas non stop?

[pliant marlin]

Can you possibly drop some damage passives and pick up more survivability from passives?

[surreal verge]

What’s your health and resistances

[compact granite]

there isn't much to survive being rouge

[steel merlin]

It depends on which skills are oneshitting you

[pliant marlin]

There's 2 attacks on Lagon that basically oneshot you. The big eye beam and the big circle blast

just need to avoid those

[compact granite]

700 health in the 20's to 50's

[steel merlin]

The breath is a oneshot for a lot of characters and only thing you can do is dodge

[halcyon marsh]

Guys do 1.0 will be a new season?

[storm blaze]

yes, 1.0 will come with a season

[compact granite]

I mean I see guys get to atleast get hit once or twice

[surreal verge]

Yeahhh, those are low

[pliant marlin]

if you're dying to other attacks than the big beam or big moon blast, I'd work on health and resists

[compact granite]

where should I upgrade gear to farm at? Im' just donig the campaign

[surreal verge]

With 1k+- health and enough resistances, almost all builds can survive everything but the sweeping beam

[compact granite]

and this is where I"m at

[pliant marlin]

I think you can already access monoliths?

[surreal verge]

Backtrack a bit and murder his dungeons, and learn to craft gear

[native sail]

And so I die a little more upon reading this

[steel merlin]

Poor rogue, so squishy

[surreal verge]

Oh yeah fun fact!
Bladedancer rogue is the one mastery with the highest defensive possibilities

[compact granite]

umm ok, I haven't even done any dungeons just the story.

ok don't have to be rude, fun fact I'm trying

fun fact I get hit once I'm dead

fun fact I'm trying to learn

[storm blaze]

Have you used the forge to upgrade gear?

[surreal verge]

Yeah, you have to learn to dodge and also be able to take at least a single hit

[compact granite]

yes

[surreal verge]

We can help with the latter

[polar pendant]

use Shift, helps dodging

take the immunity node

[compact granite]

I know

its all I use

but I can't even take one hit.

[surreal verge]

You should focus on getting these:
More health
More physical resistance
More cold+ lightning resistance

[polar pendant]

so dont get hit

[compact granite]

so one mistake can't do anythign

[surreal verge]

In that order

[polar pendant]

his claw things and lightning blasts are pretty telegraphed

[compact granite]

right figured that itd be that "don't get hit" der lol

[surreal verge]

If you do the first two, you should be able to survive at least single claw slam

[compact granite]

I watched youtube ppl get hit no biggie. almost die, i just die.

[surreal verge]

If you can’t, get more

[polar pendant]

then change gear like suggested above

[compact granite]

where should i farm?

[surreal verge]

Right before, the dungeon

Before the boss

[polar pendant]

lagons temple

[compact granite]

I'm just playing along with the story that's it the entire time

[pliant marlin]

yes that's how you should play generally the campaign imo

[hot carbon]

git gud?

[surreal verge]

Lagon is built to be basically an equipment check

[pliant marlin]

I've never played a rogue so i don't know the passive trees but are there any easy to access nodes that grant +health or +physical resits or something? or is it only +damage and +dodge 😄

[hot carbon]

yeah just go farm for a bit

maybe improve your filter too

[surreal verge]

Without learning how to get defenses you’ll die, or become a dodge god

It’s one or the other

Or be normal and learn how defneses and equipment crafting work

[compact granite]

rogues just run, if they get hit about dead. from the hours I've put in.

[surreal verge]

[native sail]

I wish Leo were still here

[surreal verge]

Late game, rogues can be tankier than sentinels

[polar pendant]

first time i did lagon it took me a lot of tries too. so not that big of a deal imo

[native sail]

Who can't?

[surreal verge]

It’s straight up not a competition

[polar pendant]

farm some gear. keep trying. thast it

[surreal verge]

Hey now, gotta assume people think sentinel can tank

[hot carbon]

unrelated, i like your tifa profile picture

[compact granite]

so where should I farm again?

[storm blaze]

Tbh I did have a lot of problems with Lagon on my first time
But that was before they added the tentacles to the fight
Took me some time but i did manage to get through it with trash gear

[surreal verge]

The temple before the boss

[compact granite]

why is this guy being a dick to me

[native sail]

[compact granite]

am I saying anything rude to you

[native sail]

huh

[compact granite]

tifa profile pic, git gud

[hot carbon]

it's tifa

[compact granite]

it's cloud

[hot carbon]

who?

oh is it xenoblade

[compact granite]

jesus christ

[storm blaze]

Literally everyone knows it's Cloud
trying to lighten the mood
Please relax

[hot carbon]

no i am being a dick

[compact granite]

git gud, and calling my profile tick is being a dick

[hollow root]

isn't Cloud where you store files? /jk

[storm blaze]

Like you're told where to farm for new gear
you ignore it
only ask it again

[hot carbon]

i think i'm better than you

[compact granite]

anyhow anyone that would just throw me a bone and help where would be good again?

[hot carbon]

i only play campaign and i can at least beat lagon

so

[compact granite]

I"m just going to ignore dream

[hot carbon]

lmao

maybe the highest level area you have access to

aka the one people have been telling you to farm at

[storm blaze]

highest area where you can kill
currently it's most likely lagon's temple

Or you could try monoliths but you'd probbly die there

[hollow root]

I "farm" in the portals areas, but I had been told that can be a bit of a waste if you aren't empowered lv100+ and such

[hot carbon]

if you're dying to lagon you'll def die in mono's

[polar pendant]

You don't need to be rude

[hot carbon]

that's not rude lol

that's just a fact

[polar pendant]

Yes it is

[hot carbon]

that's not a skill based issue that is literally just stats

[pliant marlin]

I think early monos were easier than the late campaign. There's no Lagon to fight in early monos

[hollow root]

yeah, Lagon is a real test of your character

[icy drift]

Telling someone they'll die in monos if they're dying to Lagon is not rude lol

That's insane

[hot carbon]

lagon is not that rough-

[native sail]

Yeah. Only the third one

[surreal verge]

It is a fact as there’s lagon 2: eletric bungaloo.
If you can’t beat normal lagon, monolith lagon WILL make you delete your build

[compact granite]

welp....

[pliant marlin]

If he's looking to farm gear for normal lagon... we're talking max 5 or 10 echoes in the worst case or something

he's not gonna face lagon 2 before lagon 1

[icy drift]

Just try to get your resistances up and learn his telegraphs and you'll be fine

[polar pendant]

Des just go farm gear, get physical res, armor and health. Or just keep trying and dodge better. Or both. Up to you

[compact granite]

I understand, where would be a good area to just focus, is there dungeons anything?

[pliant marlin]

are you trolling? you've asked that question 10 times and been answered 10 times 😄

[hot carbon]

you're a lost cause

[hollow root]

what sort of build are you running?
as I find if you can dodge well enough, early monos can be done with glass cannon style builds and minion builds decently effective

[hot carbon]

they're trolling yeah

[polar pendant]

As said above lagons temple. The areas right before you fight him

[icy drift]

Just craft on gear you've dropped along the way

You shouldn't need to farm anything anywhere

[compact granite]

@sose you have 15ppl typing things and Im' trying to read them. sorry

[icy drift]

Unless you're still wearing white items and haven't picked anything up

[storm blaze]

Gear you pick doesn't have to be that good
you can just pick something that has 2 good affixes for you ans then upgrade those

[hot carbon]

lmao

not four sentences!!

just go farm temple

you'll kill lagon in no time

[hollow root]

oh. just in case it isn't obvious, wearing legendary gear can have more downsides than you think, since they don't normally come with regular modifiers (had to find this out myself the hard way)

[compact granite]

where is temple? outside or something I'm brand new.

[hollow root]

it should be the area before the Lagon fight

[surreal verge]

Literally the places you went pass before lagon

[compact granite]

yeah you can't leave the fight unfortunitely

guess have to run back or something

have

[native sail]

Click M.

Now click a blue thing.

[hollow root]

you just don't go to the area where the boss fight starts

[storm blaze]

And if you do you can just click M and teleport to the blue thing

[compact granite]

there's no side content like dungeon style i can farm?

rather than open world

[hot carbon]

there is. you can't farm it.

[compact granite]

yeah figured

[hot carbon]

they require keys to enter

[compact granite]

gotcha

[hot carbon]

you likely do not have enough keys to farm them

and most will kill you if lagon is killing you

[compact granite]

no i don't

[hot carbon]

and by that i mean all will kill you

[hollow root]

Yes, the Monos AKA the portal area in the place thats all floating around
Also depending on what build you have you may want to get modifiers to maximise what damage type you focus on and/or more health/defense

[hot carbon]

do not go to mono's

just spend 10 minutes farming that area

[native sail]

T h e r o c k o f d e f e n s e t e s t i n g c o m e s f o r y o u

[compact granite]

I just haven't had many gear upgrades, plus getting use to the system.

[hot carbon]

W h a t h u h n o t h a n k y o u ?

[compact granite]

I figured everything was cake, why wouldn't this be, never died yet on a boss till now.

[hollow root]

Monos are the non-open world area, they were asking for, and early monos are much easier than Lagon

[hot carbon]

this is because the campaign is not considered particularly difficult

[compact granite]

and not only die, but one shot by anything he does

I didn't think it was suppose to be

that's why I went in

[hollow root]

it sounds like you have a glass cannon build

[hot carbon]

i don't think introducing someone to mono's when they don't know how waypoints work is a great idea

not a good place to send a new player

[compact granite]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/shadow-daggers-bladedancer-guide

that's it

I just went from that

[hot carbon]

that is awful

do not use that

do not follow that

[hollow root]

maybe there should be a bigger warning on them then, as I go into them to test how good my build is, and I am kinda bad at the game

[compact granite]

to late now I'm not gong to re level

[severe fjord]

also this is an end game build not a leveling build

[hot carbon]

clearly you aren't a new player

[hot carbon]

re-leveling is extraordinarily easy

[compact granite]

I figure but what can i do now?

[hot carbon]

you will be back to speed in ten minutes

i recommend just reading all the stuff

and thinking about what seems to work

and changing to what you decide on

[hollow root]

You might want to play as a Primalist, as they seem to be the easiest to make a good build with (and I know how annoying releveling is, as I lost a level 60 character with 20 on all my skills)

[compact granite]

so farming gaer just ain't going to work I mean this is a campagin boss

[hot carbon]

i mean your build is bad but any bad build can make it through campaign tbh

[hollow root]

farming gear is a latergame thing IIRC

[hot carbon]

"i don't want to relevel" and you recommend they start a new character

[kindred gale]

what do you consider the biggest imrpovement that you excited about in 1.0 update?

[hot carbon]

just respec your passive points and skills

[hot carbon]

the fox pet

[native sail]

They put a trap skill in the game

[hollow root]

it is better than trying to fix a bad build, from my experience

[hot carbon]

i only care about the fox pet

[kindred gale]

why fox pet?

[gritty chasm]

Is it possible to play beta tests for free?

[hot carbon]

bladedancer is not bad lol
the guide is though

[native sail]

No.

[hot carbon]

i really like foxes

[gritty chasm]

ok thanks

[storm blaze]

Probably the factions
or new masteries
or new uniques

[severe fjord]

go look at the leveling guide, see what you can swap around and switch around, you will need to focus on resistances and then try to get boots with good movement

[hollow root]

did they allow full respec for passives now?
as I might have missed that, because it was only the last 3 points that could be changed last time I used the respec NPC

[hot carbon]

that has always been around

[native sail]

You just can't change your mastery

[hot carbon]

yeah

[surreal verge]

You’re always allow to full reset assuming you have the time

[hot carbon]

full respec has been around

[native sail]

You've been able to respec every passive since uh... forever

[compact granite]

is this really going to make a difference https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/bladedancer-leveling-guide

vs what I was doing lol

[severe fjord]

send us your buildplanner

[hollow root]

full respec for passives has always been around?
You are 100% sure of that?
as I started playing when the starting area was filled with void creatures and the first big boss was a corrupted Etteraa (might have misspelled that)

[severe fjord]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/

[compact granite]

its nothing amazing how do I send it to you.

[native sail]

Yes.

[severe fjord]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/ and just follow the import intructions

[hot carbon]

i am positive

[surreal verge]

Can cfm it existed since 0.8

[sage shale]

how do u equip 2x 1 hander

it wont let me

[native sail]

You need a passive

[surreal verge]

Passive node, which class are you

[hollow root]

how was it done?
as I sincerely don't know, and unless the GUI was very poorly worded the brain symbol NPC only let the player do the last 3 passives

[steel merlin]

three last passives sounds like torchlight 2

[surreal verge]

Brain npc

[native sail]

You have to go node by node.

You can't remove things if other things are relying on it

[sage shale]

found it tyyy

[hot carbon]

Safe I really don't recommend giving advice if you don't fully get the game
I'm not giving any advice that more experienced players haven't already stated and I recommend you do the same
I don't wanna be mean but bad advice can hurt a lot

[hollow root]

was that before the Primalist, and such, changed look, and got the transformation mastery?
as I had been playing for a bit since then (off and on, as I play games very slowly)

[surreal verge]

0.8 is when rogue dropped

I think

Before multiplayer

[steel merlin]

safe im pretty sure you are mixing up with torchlight 2, did you play that game?

because "last three passives" is very specific

[hot carbon]

that would be

it would

it would in fact be
