[primal plover]

Arent they going to be resetted or sth?

[stark charm]

you get to keep some levels and get a boost to leveling after that

[wicked plover]

with higher lvl your skills will have a minimum lvl when you reset them, relvling skills doesnt take too much time/effort later on so its not that big of a deal

[rocky oar]

stupid question maybe but could i buy the game now and start playing or is it maybe better to just wait till wednesday and start playing then?

[stark charm]

you can start now

[wicked plover]

you have 18 hours to play until maintenance

[rocky oar]

but is there some sort of reset or something after or is the game progress the same but it just adds a bunch of stuff on top

[wicked plover]

[stable tulip]

"Increased Critical Strike Chance per Equipped Sword" is saying required Item class: Rogue. What this shard means is that if I put it on a items it will only be usable by Rogue?

[bold root]

If you start 1.0 on HC SSF, what are your options for going party based later?

[rocky oar]

I see, thanks for clarifying! @wicked plover

[dusky kite]

it can only be put on rogue specific armor

[quick crown]

in last epoch tools website, how do i change "Game Version" from "1.0 PTR" to just "1.0" and still keep the passives, skills, and gear i already planned out? do i really gotta re-do everything manually?

[stable tulip]

and the armor is only usable by a Rogue, so is a rogue specific affix, right?

[primal plover]

sounds like a fair solution for everyone

[dusky kite]

there are both class-specific bases and class-specific affixes

[stark charm]

is it a bug that you dont lose soul embers between runs of soulfire bastion or a feature?

[wicked plover]

lets call it a feature :^)

[primal plover]

I dont need to worry about respecing passives? That is possible?

[wicked plover]

correct

[proud beacon]

Can i play my offline characters tommorrow during the maint?

[wicked plover]

if you stay logged into the client with your char before maintenance starts, yes. you will be kicked out if you log out or smth like that though

[proud beacon]

So you cant access offline mode when the servers are down?

[stark charm]

not yet

[wicked plover]

after 1.0 you can

[proud beacon]

weird asf.

[primal plover]

No, actually not

[proud beacon]

so basically its "offline" mode

[stark charm]

right now yes, after 1.0 it will work as you want

[primal plover]

Before 1.0, which is the case at the moment, this system for bridging the servers is not yet implemented, so it is not possible for you to simply log in during a time when the servers are offline.

[lusty nacelle]

are there any damage types that completely bypass ward? im seeing a lot of videos where only hp takes dmg and the ward takes none. is it bugged?

[unreal hawk]

I just learnt that dot damage can scale with some modifiers from the tree of the skill used to proc them (like in this build https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgKeGD4xh_Q)
does that mean that all modifiers that say that skill X does more damage also apply to the dots applied by skill X?

[wicked plover]

there are ground aoes that target hp dmg only

[unreal hawk]

like, unless it's specified hit damage it scales?

[lusty nacelle]

ok so thats like based on a % of total hp so wont actually kill you?

[thorn temple]

Question regarding blood pact.

If I killed two enemies does that stack my life drained 2% for 4 secs or does it reset timer and stays %1

[wicked plover]

maybe for better understanding :
ignite can be scaled with ignite damage (obviously) bit also with fire damage, which applies to hit too
so you got different factors for your scaling
if you got a % increase dmg for your skill, it depends on what kind and the corresponding dot

[primal spruce]

sorry noob question. I just respecced a skill and it said I have to relevel it up as normal to get the point back? what does this even mean? do i just lose a skill point going to lvl 100?

[lusty nacelle]

im just planning on a ward lightning runemaster for first farming character and if i end up doing a low life ward build but keep getting 1 shot through ward then its pointless lol

[wicked plover]

i think so, yes

[unreal hawk]

so the node in black hole that increases fire damage also increases ignite damage but not the node that increases black hole damage?

[wicked plover]

when you reset skills or swap them it resets the skill lvl to a base lvl, which is 10 later on

[primal spruce]

so how do i get the skill point back?

[wicked plover]

farm exp

[primal spruce]

ok, sorry i guess what im trying to ask. Do i lose anything for my final character ultimately?

[wicked plover]

you dont loose anything when changing stuff

[primal spruce]

ok ty for the confimation

[wicked plover]

i believe so

[unreal hawk]

alright, ty for the help <3

[viscid musk]

Are we not able to upload any files anymore in class channels?

[atomic mango]

I have a question regarding stash tabs, how are those acquired?

because I just heard a dev mention you have to rebuy them each cycle

[wicked plover]

there have been discord changes few days ago to limit traffic so they can moderate better

[thorn temple]

Question regarding blood pact.

If I killed two enemies does that stack my life drained 2% for 4 secs or does it reset timer and stays %1

[wicked plover]

buy them ingame with gold, each new cycle will reset this naturally for the new one

[sharp smelt]

Is there any videos out showing the new controller radial menu etc?

[atomic mango]

ah gotcha

thought they wanted cash every season, freaked me out a bit

[wicked plover]

we dont do that here

[silver rover]

what items can have parry? I don't see any on letools

[steep marsh]

At the release there will be some kind of season with mechanics?. I missed the news about it

[toxic echo]

weapons

[wicked plover]

Can be applied to:

One-Handed Axe
Dagger
One-Handed Mace
One-Handed Sword
Two-Handed Axe
Two-Handed Mace
Two-Handed Spear
Two-Handed Staff
Two-Handed Sword

[silver rover]

oh its a prefix not a suffix XDDDD

thats.. not ideal

[toxic echo]

kinda there for throwing builds and stuff...that dont need flat dmg

[toxic echo]

item factions are the "mechanic"

[steep marsh]

trade post and the 2 one?

[toxic echo]

CoF...basically just better drop rates

[steep marsh]

and after the season they will remove it?

[whole jasper]

https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/1auyo5h/will_the_last_epoch_hype_still_be_alive_and_well/

[wicked plover]

its a base game addition

[pallid solstice]

Which class are mele build with dual wielding and or whirlwind capabilities

[wicked plover]

for whirlwind go sentinel

i think everyone can dual wield except acolyte

[pallid solstice]

Ok great

Trying to replicate a barbarian build

[steep marsh]

So the first season is just a original game with out some crazy systems ?

[wicked plover]

the factions are pretty crazy already 😄

[unreal hawk]

can't wait for the new acolyte mastery the hexblade that finally allows acolyte to DW in LE 2.0

[steep marsh]

And the real season will be 2?

[steep marsh]

Then ok=)

its cant be worst then d4 seasons lol

[toxic echo]

the first few cycles are all supposed to be core game mechanics. dont know when/if we are getting special mechanics or not

[charred talon]

I see where to check my overall crit chance, but is there a way I can see specific skills crit chance since some of them have skill trees that modify that too?

[desert tree]

Pen, paper and math

[wicked plover]

@toxic echo there was a question that came up earlier, do you know if they adjusted omni drop since 200 corruption after 1.0 is significantly harder than before

in terms of when it can drop

[toxic echo]

i do no believe any corruption locked drops were moved

[opal holly]

Whats some good void knight builds

[toxic echo]

like, 95%

[desert tree]

Thats what Mike said yeah
Not in the patch note, not changed

[steel lodge]

How is the game when it comes to starting with a friend and being able to do the story with them? Is there a lot of solo instancing or is it pretty open when it comes to the story line.

[wicked plover]

you can do everything together

[wary totem]

I have not got to end game yet and its my first arpg. Does end game boss HP goes crazy like in lost ark where they're like 200x HP bar?

[quick crown]

does armourshred make any hit damage i deal do more damage? or does it only affect physical hit damage?

[wicked plover]

its not THAT crazy ^^ it will stay managable

[wicked plover]

all hit dmg, but physical dmg gets higher value

[wary totem]

Gotcha bc those boss can takes so long to beat lol

[full quest]

yo guys, which faction gonna choose? want trade but im a little skepticalhaha

[quick crown]

ok? so if i mainly deal Fire damage, like 80-90% fire damage armour shred does very little for me?

[wicked plover]

if you want trade then choose trade ^^ its that simple

[buoyant sinew]

no, armour shred is still very good

the only builds that don't want armour shred are dot builds

[wicked plover]

i wouldnt say very little
if you hover over your armour, it will say in the description that % armour applies to elemental damage
thats the same for enemies

thats why physical has more value, but its still very good

[quick crown]

ok, good to know

[stoic tendon]

Hi, which build is capable of sustaining the affixe " % of damage taken goes to mana instead of health " please ? Because i'm playing a mana build, got 650+ mana atm, as much mana regeneration as i can, i can sustain my big mana casts but it's still shit (toward the affix), because there is no flat mana regen in this game :/ so I don't have enough mana regen to sustain the affix. So who can ? Can anybody at all can sustain that affix ?
Thanks

[wicked plover]

any build that doesnt use spenders i would assume?
there are 0 cost skills

[marsh laurel]

Did the suffix ‘Minion damage over time’ get removed from the game with the affix changes?

[buoyant sinew]

yes

[native sail]

Lidzy this game relies on you having a solution to mana that isn't just "passively regen it"

[buoyant sinew]

usually the best way to sustain it (or any huge mana expenditure) is to use skills that can gain mana on hit

mana strike is the classic example in mage for example

[stoic tendon]

I'm actually using mana strike (only to regen mana, not for dmg), i took all the possible mana nods on it. Still can't sustain the affix i think, since my spell cost 150 mana and only have 32 mana regen per second

[marsh laurel]

It still shows it being available on lastepochtools with their 1.0 update but I wasn’t sure where they got that info from

[buoyant sinew]

well if you're using a 150 mana skill then yeah it's just not going to be possible to do both.

the way to use damage taken from mana is to not use expensive skills lol

[native sail]

@bronze ocean Zeurial's Hunt didn't get updated for its 1.0 changes on LETools

[buoyant sinew]

well https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/new-items-affixes-coming-to-last-epoch-february-21st/62446 specifically says it's getting removed so presumably it's just an LETools error?

[spice dirge]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdpMDd0ZisY i dont have packet loss but this shit is getting so laggy, it may be something about the amount of arrows or something that is hard load for client to server thing? i play with 40ms max

[sterile widget]

Perhaps wait until 1.0

[stoic tendon]

so the only way to sustain the affix is to play a 0 cost mana skill ? that's kinda sad ...

[native sail]

Bugged skill/build causes bugs. More news at 11!

[sterile widget]

Not necessarily 0. That's a very binary way to look at the problem.

[bronze ocean]

Well, it's in the database and seems to be a world drop judging by the data

[native sail]

Zeurial’s Hunt

Triggered effects grant 62-92% lightning penetration (from 42-62%)
Has an effective level for legendary potential of 35 (from 52)

[thick epoch]

is 3+hrs enough time to test a class out?

[onyx ledge]

Anyone know if LE runs well on an Asus Rog Ally? Afaik steam decks arent available here in AUS

[sterile widget]

There are other folks about who have said it works on their Ally.

Controller support updates should help

[bronze ocean]

Might be not included in the build I was using

[native sail]

Ah, gotcha.

[stoic tendon]

Well i'm trying to understand because it looks kind of weird, if we stack mana, it's kinda sad that we can't take some mana dps scaling nods and get the "% dmg goes to mana" affix ...

[spice dirge]

ah thanks god

it will be fixed by 1.0?

[light pilot]

No. You probably want to reach emp mono, as by that time you should have somewhat of a end build

3hrs you're still in campaign lol

[native sail]

Hopefully. It somehow didn't get fixed last time they thought they did, so only time will tell really.
That build isn't supposed to make anywhere near the projectiles it does.

[spice dirge]

true

[thick epoch]

@light pilot im going VK i just wanted to know if i i tested it for the next few hours would i get a good practice on it before they took servers down

[sterile widget]

You can, but if you are using skills that have a high mana cost, the net effect can go negative without altering your play pattern.

If you use a big slam, then you need to use other things for a bit and you'd want the slam to be big enough to offset lower damage while you aren't using it.

[thick epoch]

thats all im asking

is that enough time to get a feel for a class

[dawn orbit]

i lost 50 stability after i died at timeline boss is this norma? can this be avoided?

[toxic echo]

it is normal. its avoided by not dying

[dawn orbit]

was fighting the dragon boss and died 3x not really know whyx i died no attack happend and i was death. three time the same

[toxic echo]

i would make sure you arent standing in the giant aoe attack he has.

[brave bear]

Sorry but what do Cycles offer? The patch notes said they suggest everyone make a cycle character but I don’t get why? Just for ladders?

[toxic echo]

ladders are currently the only difference between the game modes currently. that and the forced fresh start in cycle as well

[kindred wagon]

Where I can bug-report to lastepochtools/loot-filter?

[buoyant sinew]

talk to @bronze ocean

[acoustic thicket]

Hey y’all do we know what time & time zone this game unlocks on the 21st?

[buoyant sinew]

<t:1708534800:f>

that will show in your local time

[acoustic thicket]

Thanks! ❤️

[hollow mantle]

1 am on Thursday for me.

[charred talon]

I got a trait from reaper form called "death comes swiftly" but i dont see any swiftness buff when i kill things, i have a 50% chance and no matter how many i kill i don't see any buff

[woven zinc]

Has it already been said somewhere if we change Gathering Storm to Storm Bolt Cast via Staff Node whether things like Gathering Storm has improved base Critical strike chance still count for the Storm Bolt cast?

[spring umbra]

Hey, sorry if this is an operasked question, how can I keep track of the up coming twitch drops?

[blazing flower]

What do I do if I become a different player upon loading a game?

*loading into an area

[toxic echo]

reload the game

[blazing flower]

Thanks, yeah that worked... that was... weird

[toxic echo]

yeah, its a weird bug

[hasty tartan]

Is LETools overloaded or something?

[native sail]

Possibly.

[hasty tartan]

RIP, right when I want to plan a build. TBF, other people probably do too.

[native sail]

That's what I be doin

[frozen jungle]

when does cycle 1 start?

[coral slate]

I have been adding some tables to my cheatsheets. Are they adding value to the existing sheets?
https://cheatsheet.monster/lastepoch/

[hasty tartan]

yep css isn't loading

[dawn orbit]

now i died two times at timeline boss and i dont lose stability. someone know why i lose some tries ago multiply times 50 and now two times 0?

[drowsy jetty]

was just killed and cannot rez...help?

[acoustic thicket]

Anyone have an idea why the level 80 monolith says it was unlocked after I completed the blood dead and frost timeline but when I go to look for it it’s not on map

[toxic echo]

restart game. when you get back in, ingame bug report what happened

[drowsy jetty]

already did the report thanks Eagles

[near path]

@bronze ocean apologies for the ping but is this accurate? https://freeimage.host/i/JELnGBR
seems different from the Storm Bolt description which is listed under "From Equipment" even though it states its skill sources correctly

[bronze ocean]

Yes

[hasty tartan]

Thanks for letting me know.

[thorn ruin]

can someone direct to any lootfilters(xml) files to copy into my directory

[bronze ocean]

Can you make a screenshot of the other place where it's shown differently?

[dawn orbit]

someone know why i sometime lose 50 stability when i die to a timeline boss and sometime i dont lose 50?

[final moth]

i dcd last night and logged in and had no characters, is this a known bug?

[toxic echo]

!support

[ripe brook]

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

[toxic echo]

bug. you are supposed to lose stab everytime

[final moth]

ty will make a support ticket

[dawn orbit]

first 3 time i lost 50 next 2 times i dont lose. But now i killed him finally

[hybrid pier]

Hi for some reason the outlines of my map and certain graphics aren’t showing up are there any fixes? I’m on a steam deck btw

[low lava]

Hello im new to this game, quick question, how does the game progress work right now? Are we keeping our progress until 21th or the game will reset?

[near path]

https://freeimage.host/i/JELxdSS and its relevant sources: https://freeimage.host/i/JELxBob

[cunning granite]

If I live in est what time does 1.0 come out?

[bronze ocean]

I don't see the difference

[minor vigil]

noon

[near path]

The first skill "Gathering Storm" says "Create a burst of fire damage around a minion. Has 400% added damage effectiveness." and has no Attunement Scaling, and Fire and Spell tags, and does not list the right sources either

[cunning granite]

So 12pmon 21st

[native sail]

Yep

[storm blaze]

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

[cunning granite]

Okay thanks

[near path]

The 2nd and 3rd screenshots show what I assume is the correct Storm Bolt with the right scaling, description and sources

[frank iris]

did anyone else hear that maxroll guides would be updated today after the patch notes or am I making that up? i couldve sworn i heard Raxx say that in one of his vids

[bronze ocean]

Oh, that. Well, "Gathering Storm"'s subskill does have that.

The scaling on subskills can be off in db, because it's set from parent skill that is firing it

[near path]

What? That makes no sense though. Gathering Storm's subskill is supposed to Storm Bolt? Which is supposed to be a shared subskill across multiple other parent skills

[bronze ocean]

Skill tags on subskills matter if you yourself can fire it, not proc it via smth else

[near path]

my understanding from the reveal was that Storm Bolt is not only GS's subskill but also replaces all other mentions of "Lightning" from other skills like Maelstrom, Tornado, Fury Leap, passive tree etc. And that now all of these skills that proc Storm Bolt will all proc the same version of Storm Bolt

[bronze ocean]

This is Gathering Storm: https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/gathering_storm
This is Gathering Storm area trigger spell: https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/gathering_storm_area
This is Storm Bolt that is triggered by area spell: https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/primal_lightning

You linked screenshots for the second and third ones

[minor vigil]

is exalted % damage a high value affix for legendaries used in hit based builds? or do you usually want to go base crit/flat?

[near path]

so basically, the actual self-cast Gathering Storm first procs an area trigger, which then releases Storm Bolt?

[pine dove]

Maybe this is a dumb question. But are there any contingencies to keep in mind with a group of friends and some of them picking merchant's guild and others picking circle of fortune?

[bronze ocean]

Yes

[near path]

that's very weird but ok, thanks for clearing that up

[toxic echo]

you can gift in a party regardless of faction. but gifting does not remove any tags

[pine dove]

so, I can give someone a drop, but they might not be able to equip it if they're a different guild

[toxic echo]

yes

[pine dove]

If we're both trade I could just give them the item anyways right?

even w/o resonance

[toxic echo]

if both players are in the instance when the item drops, it can be gifted freely, without resonance. resonances are just there if you and your friend play 15 hours togehter, he leaves, and you drop a great item for him while he gone, you can still gift it

[pine dove]

haha this is just bringing up more questions

If my friend needs a unique, we've grouped a bit but not enough for resonance. I have a bunch of them stashed, but we'd have to grind a resonance to trade it. Or could I give him the gold to buy it on the AH?

[wicked plover]

you would need to get a resoance for that scenario, only thing you can exchange are items, no currency or crafting mats

[pine dove]

So the path of least resistance to trading someone a unique, is just helping them target farm that unique?

[urban vessel]

Hello, I want to know if in version 1.0 it will be good to build an "autobomber"?

[toxic echo]

no different than it is right now to build one

[urban vessel]

Oh, thank you very much

[lime wyvern]

Does the character limit (25) apply to both cycle and old characters or its 25 old + 25 for cycle?

[weak current]

are items with cooldowns effected by cdr?

[buoyant sinew]

shared limit for all online characters

[buoyant sinew]

no, cdr only affects skills on your bar

[queen carbon]

What does the ilvl of an item influence in craft?

[native sail]

That

[native sail]

Nothing, there is no ilevel. Only a level requirement.

[queen carbon]

oh, i see.. thx !!!

[thick epoch]

seems the website is down - any chance of a timetable of when it will be functioning again

[scarlet lily]

Question, does Void knights echo chance only apply to direct cast void spells or proced as well?

[frozen jungle]

when does cycle 1 start?

[buoyant sinew]

simultaneously with launch

[frozen jungle]

Yewwww!!! thanks for the reply 🙂

[wide sentinel]

@toxic echo are u hyped about starting healing hands ward forge guard?

[hidden pike]

I got weird FPS issues when i open the Setting menu and when he is at the Gameplay tab. The FPS Freeze like 3 seconde. It's the only play i have this issues...
CPU : 5800x - GPU RX 7800 XT - 64 gb of ram... Weird AF

[minor vigil]

is exalted % phys on melee weapons good enough to hoard? i think it might just be lower value than a lot of other prefixes on weapons for hit builds

[acoustic thicket]

t6 and t7 are valuable to the point u need to craft or recycle them all or just a ok drop ?

A. Keep all t6-t7 items
B. Keep all with X amount of suffix tiers total

[sharp walrus]

hello , the game is avaible in spanisch ?

[wicked plover]

try limiting your fps, that tends to help with performance

[wicked plover]

no hoarding, bonk

[wicked plover]

you dont need to keep t6 cold resist stored in your stash, generally lookout for rare affixes or items you want to use

[minor vigil]

ya im trying to clear out my exalted tabs xd

[hidden pike]

i run the game at 200 fps++ can limit it xD

[toxic echo]

Starting maybe...still thinking finishing with smelters wrath. Obv gonna be the #1 smelters player...since no one else is gonna be dumb enough to do it 😉

[minor vigil]

i just dont know if legendary weps w/ % inc damage are actually that commonly used

[compact dawn]

So I just started my last epoch adventures again, running a druid , my question is , is the last bear still a viable bear tanking set? 🙂

[wicked plover]

are we staying on legacy

[wide sentinel]

NOOOOO not SW

[acoustic thicket]

tyvm

[wicked plover]

% dmg types are very common

[toxic echo]

Nah. Feelin the fresh start

[hidden pike]

Didnt change nothing.. it's totaly only when i enter the gameplay tab of the setting menu.. a Game freeze of 3 to 5 seconds

[hardy panther]

Friends, will it be possible to skip the story after we finish it at least once or will I be forced to replay the main story countless times and memorize line by line each cycle?

[minor vigil]

you dont actually have to do most of the story

[wicked plover]

no full skip

[acoustic thicket]

si

[hardy panther]

i know

[sharp walrus]

gracias

[hardy panther]

so we will have something?

[wicked plover]

you can skip some parts by playing through a dungeon

[hardy panther]

ok, thx, i hope that when the story is finished, one day they will implement the full skip option, at least for the base story and after we finish it at least once.

[native sail]

They really don't want a skip, so good lucl

[grizzled quiver]

skill levels aren't tied to character levels from what i can see and i can get back all the skill levels i lose when respecing by leveling them again, right?

[toxic echo]

Lvl 20 skills is unlocked at like character lvl 75. So they are tied (tho not normally an issue until higher levels). You can always relevel skills

[grizzled quiver]

thx. do i have to use them, or do skills share xp with each other?

[buoyant sinew]

skills gain xp when your character does, you don't have to use them

[grizzled quiver]

cool, thank you both

[wicked plover]

is the online character limit independent of game mode?

[timber rampart]

I'm starting LE fresh. Any reason to install the game now vs on Wednesday? If I install now, will I have to redownload the whole game again on Wednesday?

[jade helm]

Just patch the 1.0 update
It's not a big game anyway

[wicked plover]

there will be a big patch on wednesday, you can download the current version right now to make your entry on wednesday faster

[rapid oak]

What happens to a "seasonal" characters entire stash of items when a cycle ends?
From what i have read, everything is moved to legacy - But what if you dont have enough space for all the stored items in your seasonal characters stash?

[jade helm]

It's less than 50gb
Basically nothing

[stable turret]

Does unarmed attacks count for "Using a melee weapon"?

[wicked plover]

unarmed means no weapon

[wanton hatch]

How do you manage just generating 2 fire charges when using Flame Rush. I seem to want to generate 3 most of the times. it's very finicky.

[stable turret]

I know that... I just was curious if things that effect "Melee" effect unarmed attacks

[fleet flicker]

Do you guys know if we are able to cast gathering storm in transformmed form?

[timber rampart]

Are you saying install now patch wednesday? Or install+patch Wed?

[wicked plover]

yes they do, for example judgement is still a melee attack, eventhough most people use it unarmed

[wicked plover]

the former

[jade helm]

Install now
Patch on wed

[timber rampart]

tyty

[jade helm]

It's not large either way
But if you have rural internet you might want to install now patch wed

[wicked plover]

there is a difference between general melee attack and using a melee weapon, so i wasnt sure about the wording

[low dagger]

There are melee, bow, spells, and throwing attacks. Melee does not require a weapon.

[stable turret]

Ahh Okay that's the difference I was trying to figure out, so didn't know how to word it. ... So things like Shift's perk "Unseen Strike" which says ...

"If using a melee weapoin, when Shifting you perform an Unseen Strike, hitting enemies along the way.

[faint cape]

Unseen strike's description is janky. It works without a melee weapon.

[wicked plover]

cries in english

[stable turret]

Bug or intended?

[faint cape]

Probably bug that it works with a bow, but probably intended to work unarmed. lol

(bows are the only non-melee weapons)

[quaint kettle]

how many more hours left before maintenance?

[wicked plover]

15,5h

[quaint kettle]

5hours left?

[wicked plover]

look again

[quaint kettle]

whats the 15

[wicked plover]

fifteen hours and thirty minutes left until maintenance

[acoustic thicket]

does valiant charge makes the warpath cooldown go down from 0.5s ?

[quaint kettle]

ohh 15.5hrs. got it.

[queen carbon]

"X% of Minion melee damage leeched as health" << this heals the minion or my character ?

[wicked plover]

minions

[quaint kettle]

offline cannot play also right even at maintenance?

[wicked plover]

the 0,5s on warpath basically is just the animation it takes to start channeling the skill

[wicked plover]

you can login offline before maintenance starts and stay logged in

[acoustic thicket]

oh ok i thought it was going to make me spin faster lol

[quaint kettle]

noted. thanks a lot.

[low lava]

Will the deluxe and ultimate packs be available after launch?

[wicked plover]

yes

[fleet flicker]

Am I missing something? Is there a way to trigger gathering storm while not transformed? Seems not great?

[polar pendant]

is it a bug that sometimes flurry "misses" with a bow from certain angles?

[wicked plover]

yes, fixed for 1.0

[polar pendant]

tyty

[hollow mantle]

Is it possible to power level in LE ?

[wicked plover]

you can have other people clear higher lvl content for you and boost your exp, yes

[woven zinc]

Does anyone know if we convert Gathering Strom to Strom Bolt with the Staff Node then all the passives where it says Storm Stack /Gathering Storm are useless?

[acoustic thicket]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/loot-filters/view/9Qngl8B0 am i missing anything in my filter? never played the game

[kind pier]

Hi Team,
Any official Brazilian chat?
I think we'll have a lot of brazilians playing it, also I have around 12 years of experience in LQA pt-br, would be great I could help to improve the translations in any way!

[wanton hatch]

what's the max req level of items you can gamble

[acoustic thicket]

i heard around 40

[faint cape]

It seems like the storm stack ones are, like you won't be gaining them anymore. Same with all the melee stuff. The ones that proc when you directly use GS should still work.

[wanton hatch]

So how does Rune of Ascendance work?
Trying to get the
Fundamental Criterion.

It's Lvl Req 54. So does my base armor type have to be Lvl Req >= 54

[faint cape]

None official since they don't have moderation staff for other languages. I believe there is a community-run one, though I don't have a link or anything

[faint cape]

Just has to be the same type of item, like 2h axe -> 2h axe. Nothing else matters assuming the unique you want is possible to make with the rune of ascendance

[wanton hatch]

oh..

[willow tusk]

is there any downside to skipping a lot of the story/acts if you dont care at all about the story? I saw a video last week that just rushed to monoliths pretty fast.

[wanton hatch]

so i can gamble base armor types and then try to upgrade thelm

[wanton hatch]

Push M (map), bottom left corner.

[faint cape]

Yeah, that's the easiest way to go

[wanton hatch]

side quests give you passives and idol slots

[willow tusk]

obviously you get all passives+idols on the way

you can get that without doing full story cant you

[wanton hatch]

shrug. I did 4, and they all turned into uniques under lvl req 40

[faint cape]

They are weighted just like normal drops, so more common ones are more common

[wanton hatch]

that would make sense. Thanks

[signal fulcrum]

Has the release window been announced for 1.0? Will it be available at 12:01am est on 2/21/24 for example?

[trail moss]

What is an Endurance Threshold in reference to Certain Rogue Skills?

[wanton hatch]

11 AM CST

[faint cape]

It's the amount of your health that is protected by endurance

[trail moss]

like an overshield?

[jade helm]

Just stack as much endurance as possible is what most people seem to say
It doesn't make much sense mechanically but more is better

[faint cape]

No. It's DR that applies to the bottom part of your health globe. You should always cap endurance (60%) on all life-based builds.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/endurance

[minor vigil]

endurance threshold itself is a pretty bad stat though

[jade helm]

Someone mathed out that endurance is the best Stat by far

[trail moss]

Ohhh i see. a damage mitigation that activates after a certain point. That point is the Edurance Threshold. that makes sense. Thank you!

[minor vigil]

since you just get endurance threshold from more health

[faint cape]

Yeah, just get endurance to 60% and generally don't worry too much about scaling endurance threshold, since it naturally scales with your health

[trail moss]

It just popped up in a rogue talent/skill/ability node while I was lookin at the calculator. I dont plan on targetting it specifically 🙂

[silent osprey]

when the servers shutdown for big patch, can we still play offline?

[thick epoch]

are these gloves ideal for VK -- "Sacrificial Embrace"

[silver skiff]

Anybody playing Last Epoch on the ROG Ally? Suggestions/recommendations on settings? Right now I'm running 900p at a consistent 60fps docked with 18w & cool temps

[harsh forge]

Are monoliths and their quests multiplayer friendly ?

[tropic yacht]

whats the use of epoch points??? i want to know if i buy the standard or ultimate edition

[harsh forge]

Buy MTX

[scarlet wind]

if i could dm someone about loot filters i have a quick question

[wicked plover]

you can login offline before maintenance and then stay logged in to play

[wicked plover]

there is no generic ideal, depends on the build

[wicked plover]

yes

[wicked plover]

you can ask here

[acoustic thicket]

how many affix does amulet and rings and idols/relics

[wicked plover]

can you rephrase please, i dont know what you mean

[harsh forge]

So we can do monoliths and get both the points for the quests ?

[acoustic thicket]

im asking how many affix ( prefix and suffix) amulet, rings, idols,relics have ?

[scarlet wind]

if i have a show wanted rings strict like i WANT the following then a less more strict right below it that says show lets say 2 affixes the one above wont cancel it out correct?

[wicked plover]

yes

[weary wigeon]

In the Soul Feast tree, will Another Strife only spread curses from 1 target? or any with curses?

[wicked plover]

all gear has 2 prefix and 2 affix on standard item, idols have 1 prefix and 1 suffix

[thick shuttle]

Mechanics question for Minion builds:

Does the HP degeneration from Infernal Shade get reduced by any Minion Resistances?

[wicked plover]

rule priority goes from top to bottom, so whatever rules you set above it will overwrite what comes after if they interfere with eachother

[acoustic thicket]

thank you very much man

[distant compass]

is cone direction of detonating arrow fixed?

[wicked plover]

infernal shade deals fire damage so fire resistance on minion should reduce it

old items pre 1.0 cant be sold
you need to be part of mg to trade items

[wicked plover]

with 1.0

[distant compass]

nice

[thick shuttle]

Thanks. So theoretically speaking, if I manage to cap out resistances and get a lot of Minion Regen on gear, I can out-regen the burn from Infernal Shade, right?

(Granted that's not the optimal way to go because you sacrifice minion damage nodes, but this is just for the sake of theoretical discussion).

[wicked plover]

with 1.0 the damage you can stack with infernal shade is capped at 180%, slap some minion life leech on and they should be fine

[wanton fox]

how good and worth is playing coop with a friend

[wicked plover]

multiplayer is fun and you can share loot with eachother

[thick shuttle]

Always very good and worth it.

You have a friend. That's better than like 90% of the rest of the population.

[wanton fox]

if i dont have friends i find em

[jade helm]

I have a friend who plays but he is with the rest of the group on helldivers
Sadge

[wanton fox]

they are like pokemons, just gotta search on the bushes and capture em

[jade helm]

Some absolue g unit carried me thru lagon via lfg

[wanton fox]

i absolutely want to give helldivers a try, seems like a lotta fun

[surreal scarab]

So I have a couple legendarys just from leveling a few characters I was under the assumption legendarys were only crafted?

[wicked plover]

are those by any chance weavers items?

[surreal scarab]

1 is but the others isn’t

[wicked plover]

you cant drop legendaries

[wanton hatch]

TLDR what are the rules on trading items?:
you need a certain faction experience,
you need favor,
The item cant(?) be modified yet?

[surreal scarab]

@wicked plover ive never crafted one tho and im wearing this https://i.imgur.com/3hUoku3.png

[wicked plover]

that is a weavers item

[wicked plover]

you can trade crafted items

[surreal scarab]

oh i though it says weavers will

when its weavers

[wicked plover]

it does, but when you spent all weavers will it looks like yours

[surreal scarab]

ok cool, what does spending weavers mean lol

[wicked plover]

if you have 10 weaver swill for example you get 10 tiers of affixes randomly
and then the item is done

[cunning willow]

Just bought the game yesterday and was wondering should I wait to play the game until 1.0? Will there be seasons coming with 1.0 I just don’t want to waste time leveling now only to start again during 1.0

[balmy tendon]

i've completed the story and did every quest i can find, yet the ancient era shows a blue question mark over it still (nothing in log or on actual map), is this just a bug or am i misunderstanding something?

[wicked plover]

servers will be down in 14h until release so
you could technically stat playing and continue your char after 1.0

[spare tartan]

Will the Thornmail passive node on Forge Guard passive tree count as "Damage reflected to attackers" to scale the new unique shield Sigeon's Reprisal?

[cunning willow]

Ok cool, thanks

Will there be “seasons” coming with 1.0 though?

[wicked plover]

yes

[wicked plover]

they call it cycles, yea
but there wont be cycle exclusive content for now
its just for leaderboards and economy reset

[sturdy adder]

Full controller support 👀
Anyone play on Steam Deck? Decent FPS?

[wicked plover]

seems to be working well on steamdeck, should be improved with 1.0 further

[sturdy adder]

I heard the controls were a little janky but with full controller support at 1.0 I’m sure it will be great now. Interested in performance when in high density mob areas. Will prob just buy it anyway and try because the game looks awesome haha.

[wicked plover]

steam deck is not officially supported yet cause they dont have the environment to test for it
but i havent heard anything negative except controller ui, which gets updates with 1.0

[acoustic thicket]

just wait till new season start for leaderboards and economy reset and playing with everyone

[cunning willow]

Ok

[patent mural]

where is my boy leo

still alive?

btw, what are your top builds for launch fellas

[jagged plinth]

is skip the campaign fine for alts? aka shortcut

[solid hollow]

what bonuses to play 2 3 4 5 player(or what maximum?)?

[wicked plover]

sure, you still need to do sidequests for skillpoints an didols though

[wicked plover]

4 people max in a group, bonus is fun and sharing items

[solid hollow]

no exp and loot bonus? useless

[jagged plinth]

not really

[wicked plover]

why should you be rewarded for group play by default
if you want more rewards then optimize your group and farm more efficient than solo

[solid hollow]

because it will be too easy

[wicked plover]

enemies scale with group player count, im not sure what you mean

[sly lava]

does healing effectiveness scale health gained on glancing blow?

[lyric rune]

What is the end game like in LE? Is it comparable to anything else on the market?

[wicked plover]

its like poe maps without league content

[solid hollow]

if they only become stronger and don’t give any bonuses, then getting together is of course useless, only if you’re with friends just so it won’t be boring

[lyric rune]

Is there any forced playthrough of the campaign?

[wicked plover]

there is no full campaign skip, you can skip parts of it through dungeons

[solid hollow]

well there is maps from poe and dung from d4, and endless tower from many games

[potent epoch]

the campaign is nowhere near as tedious as PoE, if that's what you're asking.

skill points can be obtained from your choice of quests, so you have more flexibility

you can skip huge chunks of the campaign with special dungeons (primarily meant as a way to get your 2nd+ char of the league to "maps" quicker)

[solid hollow]

It's a pity that quests cannot be canceled

[wicked plover]

they wont show up on the right side once you are in end of time/monoliths

[potent epoch]

Also, have Monoliths changed much since the multiplayer beta last year? That's when I last played

[solid hollow]

but during the story campaign they get in the way if you don’t do them, so I decided that I would do all the quests

[cerulean musk]

btw, EHG said before that they gonna rework set items or something right? is that in v1?

[wicked plover]

core concept? no
there are some additions and changes though
we got exiled mages with special loot ( mini boss in each mono), extra loot chests in each mono
and tons of balance/scaling changes with 1.0

[potent epoch]

have they added any co-op QoL, Sefax?

[lyric rune]

Is there an estimated date for leaving EA and releasing the finished product?

[wicked plover]

not in 1.0, on their to-do list though

[potent epoch]

about 2 days from now

[solid hollow]

mmmm there is chests on EVERY map?

[wicked plover]

for 1.0 there are some changes for multi that makes grouping up and ui alot easier to handle, also loading times should be better

[wicked plover]

38h from now

[soft rock]

Hello, is it the case that you're more likely to receive items your class can use or is it like POE where items drop completely independently?

[wicked plover]

yea

[solid hollow]

36?

[wicked plover]

there is class specific weighting

[lyric rune]

Is the multiplayer like being able to find/group with strangers or is it the type of multiplayer where you can only really play with friends?

[wicked plover]

there is no matchmaking ingame
you can organize through discord or general chat ingame

[solid hollow]

hmm, I rarely found them... apparently need to explore every map

[lyric rune]

oof, and no game browser like in d2?

[cerulean musk]

one thing i hate about exiled mages is that nearly all the experimental items are warding items and nearly useless. except summon minons when u use potions one

[wicked plover]

they will show up on your minimap as a big icon, also i am not sure about campaign, but in endgame monoliths you will have one in each map

[wicked plover]

not as of yet or to my knowledge

[solid hollow]

well ty good to know( ye, I'm talking about monolith maps)

[wicked plover]

yea if you dont need experimental items they are kinda meh, i still kill em for the special uniques to get some with lp

[potent epoch]

I feel like modern gaming expects you to "socialize" via Discord and find friends here

[winged basalt]

are the supporter upgrades available after 1.0?

[wicked plover]

yes

[lyric rune]

I don't know why, either. That's definitely a point in the con list for me.

[wicked plover]

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

[lyric rune]

I mean in general, not LE specifically. I doubt my feedback matters in a sea of 24k players that don't seem to mind.

[wicked plover]

a big reason why they didnt go too deep into multiplayer organization ingame is proabbyl because they will keep all content solo-able for the forseeable future

[winged basalt]

isnt it planned they are looking to implement an LFG in game?

[potent epoch]

another monolith question: have they changed how progression works for party play?
IIRC the party leader could target-farm bases, while people in the party just got random reward, and only the leader got corruption/etc.

[wicked plover]

they acknowledge every suggestion, dont worry about it

[wicked plover]

i dont remember, possible, maybe search in the dev channel

[wicked plover]

i think you get a choice of 2 rewards as a non-leading party member

[potent epoch]

have they changed how corruption/etc. works for the non-leading part members?

[wicked plover]

i dont think so

[potent epoch]

thanks for the answers

[void bluff]

Sorry if this question has been asked, but if I start now will it carry over to the 1.0 update? Or should I wait.

[lyric rune]

Can you trade items with other players?

[nova sparrow]

Will support packs go away once 1.0 hit?

[wicked plover]

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

[warm beacon]

Pardon my lack of knowledge but will offline mode be available during the maintenance?

[wicked plover]

no, still available

[wicked plover]

with 1.0 there will be a trading faction, you can gift items to players in your party

[wicked plover]

you can login offline before maintenance and stay logged in, it will kick you out though if you leave the game or relog

[lyric rune]

Does that mean you can only give things away?

[warm beacon]

thank you so much. thats just sad

[potent epoch]

you may want to watch the video and/or read about the Faction system. trading is very unique in LE

they didn't want to fall into the same pitfalls as other games where tradebotting was literally more efficient than playing the game

[wicked plover]

you will have true offline after 1.0, so even if servers go down you will be able to play

[lyric rune]

Where is this video?

[wicked plover]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOo0Ule6dNY

[lyric rune]

ty

[nova sparrow]

thanks bro

[soft rock]

Can I make a loot filter now that I can use when 1.0 launches. As in, does it save

[wicked plover]

yes it does, but 1.0 will add different items,affixes, etc so you will have to adjust afterwards

[soft rock]

Ahhhh true

[brave goblet]

Hey guys,

I'm a OG POE HC player. I like to play ARPG blindful, the only thing I want to ask without going into spoil is: Is there any ''respect'' system if you make mistake in your build or basically my first character will most likely be a mess?

[wicked plover]

you can freely respec skills and passive points without much problem
only permanent choice is your mastery class

[brave goblet]

Does this happens early in the game?

[wicked plover]

1-2hours in

[brave goblet]

ok, I'll take more time there to make sure. Thanks 🙂

[wicked plover]

you can checkout all passives/skills ingame before you decide

[jagged ice]

Anyone have an issue where one of your abilities is stuck in the "pressed" mode and will auto cast when you hover over something?

[versed fox]

Are there any advantages of going single player or SSF for COF? Not really sure which would be best for launch. Had been playing 1P in the current version before I knew there was a SSF. They both seem same to me considering I would not be playing in a party. In SSF are items character or account bound?

[jagged ice]

booted up and my lunge ability seems to be stickied but no pattern of button presses seems to break it and it doesnt effect typing at all

[wicked plover]

items/stashes are bound to game mode
so for example you couldnt share stash from hc with sc
other than that doesnt really matter when you play solo anyways

[wicked plover]

maybe port to town and back to fix it

[jagged ice]

testing

[lyric rune]

Is there an official guild/clan system in game?

[versed fox]

ok ty

[wicked plover]

not as of yet, they want guilds to have more of a function than just an extra chat channel

[jagged ice]

well im stuck in an infinte loading screen now 😅

freed! but ability is still perma activated

[vague agate]

Just joined the cord as i got the game last year and release is soon - is there currently a guide for how much ideal endgame stats you'll need for each class?

[wicked plover]

alt f4 🔥
maybe hard reset steam through your task manager and have a clean restart

[jagged ice]

that was my first answer to the issue 😭 well, fully resetting the game, will try a full steam restart

[wicked plover]

that is an extremely broad question
do you have anything more specific in mind

[trail moss]

I can remap my left click to be Use ability 5, but I cant remap my "move" command to right click.

It just says its in use, but it isnt?

[wicked plover]

yea you cant rebind force move currently to rmb

[trail moss]

copy. thats a shame

[jagged ice]

#1205146896977633350 message link for exact wording from devs

[vague agate]

Something along the lines of "you should have at least capped resistances, 1k HP, this much armor/dodge/ward depending on class, ailment chance of your dmg type build, a escape traversal/movement skill for panic" of sorts?

[tranquil silo]

is there anyway to edit items in the le planner to simulate party buffs?

[jagged ice]

the issue is still persisting 😓

[wicked plover]

is your key stuck or the windows lock thing active

[jagged ice]

its not effecting any other program, which is strange

[wicked plover]

what happens if you bind the skill to another slot

[jagged ice]

the plot thickens, its also pressing my 1 key and using a potion

this is so weird lmao

[wicked plover]

well generally, the more the better right ^^
res cap is the bare minimum, it scales linearly though, not like poe

[wicked plover]

do you have an ouja board

[jagged ice]

bro at this point im going to call a priest to cleanse my client

[wicked plover]

maybe verify steam files ^^

[jagged ice]

yeah that's the next step

pray to the machine gods for me

going to restart pc too see if that cleanses the bad juju

[wicked plover]

clap three times and open a window to let the bad spirits out

[vague agate]

Ah, I'm from Grim Dawn than PoE, so I got worried over my hypothetical unrealistic kekw Planner builds not having enough of anything 😂

[sacred vector]

Are there any sort of Cast on Crit / Cast on Hit mechanics in LE? Loved those kind of builds in PoE and wondering if there's anything similar

[wicked plover]

you will notice very fast if you are lacking in a specific department ^^
armour is a very good stat for all builds, its generic dmg reduction

[wicked plover]

tons

[sacred vector]

Is there anywhere I can have a little look/read of them? 😄

[wicked plover]

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

Select any class and look through the skill trees
every other skill has a cast on (any condition) or trigger x skill with y thing going on

[sacred vector]

Cool, thanks for the advice 🙂

[jagged ice]

the spirits have been cleansed with the reset clapping and window opening, thank you for your exorcism expertise

[vague agate]

Alright, guess I'll yolo on release and copium they can work; thx for the answer!

[soft rock]

Is there any way to access the loot filter function without logging into a character?

[hollow mural]

Is there a power system after 100?

[wicked plover]

if you ever get stuck press G
the ingame guide explains 99% of the game to you
also ctrl+alt will give you detailed item description

[wicked plover]

the files are stored locally, so technically yes

[soft rock]

Ah

[wicked plover]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/loot-filters/

you can customize, import/export your filter here outside of the game

[soft rock]

It could be useful as QoL but also just something to do when you're in queue waiting for the new league lol

[wicked plover]

better gear

[soft rock]

This doesn't have the updated affix stuff right?

[wicked plover]

no clue

[soft rock]

Probably not since it's just a community thing

[wicked plover]

you can select version 1.0 on the right, so i guess its updated

[soft rock]

😮 thx

[charred talon]

For Lich, Does corrupted consciousness caclulate its damage % before or after Deadlock procs?

[cosmic mortar]

Do we know if we have to buy stashes for each season ?

[trail moss]

I just got Vipertail, a unique belt, at level 8 in my playthrough. It has the following: 57% chance to poison on hit, 55% chance to slow on hit, 5% increased melee attack speed, 54% increased dodge rating, and 7% chance to summon a primal serpent on kill.

My question is:
Those are all % based increases. So even though I got this unique at level 8, and the unique only requires level 6, It is likely to remain relevant for the entire game, because the stats on it are flat %'s. Am I thinking right about this system?

[wicked plover]

new cycle is a full reset, so yes you will have to do that

[wicked plover]

you are correct in the way you are thinking

the way such low lvl uniques are made relevant for endgame is through legendary crafting
so even if the base stats are just "okayish" you can juice it up by alot with other affixes

[trail moss]

follow up question then.

If i got a unique that had like... +25 physical damage. (Range 10-30)

i got it level 10, then it dropped again for me when I was level 55.

Would it be scaled to the higher level content? Or would it still be somewhere in the same range of 10-30?

[vernal bay]

Is last epoch using cpu more than some other games? My pc kept hanging on me

[wicked plover]

uniques always have the same possible range of affixes
only thing that changes with higher lvl is the chance to get legendary potential on it

[trail moss]

ah alright. Thank you, that makes sense

[wicked plover]

its a bit heavy sided on the hardware workload

[vernal bay]

I’m sending my laptop the third time to ask them to fix it

[wicked plover]

there will be performance updates with 1.0
also limiting your fps is supposed to help

[vernal bay]

Ny hardware do you mean cpu or gpu

My gpu works fine with othe gpu intensive games

I could go on very low with 60 fps and 1080p and it still crashes

[wicked plover]

have you tried verifying your steam files

[vernal bay]

Yup

[wicked plover]

!support

[ripe brook]

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

[hollow sierra]

will any loot filters i make right here right now persist into the release on the 21st, or should i just wait till the 21st to make a fresh filter

[wicked plover]

it will persist, but there will be additions with 1.0 so you will have to revisit your configuration

[carmine mortar]

Echos are essentially maps right?

[sage iris]

a lot of skill trees have stuff like that

[wicked plover]

pretty much

[sacred vector]

Yeah i'm trying to have a little look at the mo, i've seen the mage ones but not managed to find any others yet

[sage iris]

you can look at builds that people have made online and a lot of them use mechanics like that

[hollow sierra]

well yeah i just wanted to set up a baseline, because i don't have any existing filters for mage (spellblade in specific)

[carmine mortar]

How do people calculate DPS in Last Epoch is there some sort of thing like Path of Building?

[hollow sierra]

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

[sage iris]

don't think there's really a way to do it afaik

[wicked plover]

you should be fine then ^^ not much changes for mage when it comes to items

[hollow sierra]

sounds good. im gonna hop in and play a little beforehand

[wicked plover]

if you want an exact number then spreadsheet and calculator, the ingame tooltip is very rough around the edges to say the least ^^

[split wren]

did they fix the slow load screens in multiplayer?\

[wicked plover]

it should be better than before with 1.0

[sly fable]

I'll let you know in 3 days

[frigid berry]

I know the game is just coming out of early access, but will they add more classes in the future? The only game I’ve played that’s partly similar to this game was lost ark and I enjoyed very much every single class there. I’m hoping to see similar ones in the far future

[hollow sierra]

i feel like this basic loot filter is for the best... shows all mage specific items till 20 and then it changes to all mage specific rare/unique/set/exalted for all the way up. just a campaign thing though
that said should i put "any" as a clause in class specific? is that every item or every item that's not class specific

[wicked plover]

they will add more masteries to each class first, somewhere in the far future maybe a completely new class as well

[wicked plover]

if you are already filtering for class specific affixes that will sort itself out by default

[sacred vector]

I wonder if the devs are ready for the huge influx of traffic to the servers on launch lol

[hollow sierra]

ok i wasn't sure if i needed to add that

oh wait class specific affixes...

yeah i am not yet doing that

[leaden tundra]

does hand of judgement work if you are transformed as werebear? but you have weapons equiped?

[wicked plover]

judgement is a paladin skill

[faint cape]

No, but also the paladin doesn't have any transforms
(it only provides unarmed bonuses for judgment, specifically)

[leaden tundra]

oh

[wicked plover]

the possibilities though, imagine a bear holy slapping some faith into enemies

[faint cape]

I'd actually totally play this build

[leaden tundra]

ah okay lol saw it in a build guide

the bear is unarmed tbf

[jade helm]

Thx for your help the other day
Cleared the story and 2 monos so far

[latent wadi]

Oh I remember that, glad it went better for you :)

[minor vigil]

They are very aware. They've already added servers

[sacred vector]

Yeah I can imagine, hopefully it goes nice and smooth for them

[steel narwhal]

Hi guys I hope this is the right place to ask, but does anybody happen to know how I can sign up my twitch channel to be eligible for drops?

[minor vigil]

I'm certain it'll be rocky, I just hope they can resolve the issues quickly

[latent wadi]

They sound confident, we all pray ! (pretty sure they pray aswell tbh)

[visual elbow]

Guys i am seeing "Legacy item" on some items in LE tools, does that mean that the item is removed from the game on the faction servers?

[sacred vector]

Fingers crossed 😄 looking forward to it

[latent wadi]

There is no "faction servers", Legacy Item might be an item from pre release getting updated in 1.0 ?
I would assume what you call faction servers is "seasonal server"

[wicked plover]

legacy item refers to an old version of an item that is different in the current iteration of the game

[latent wadi]

Just mentioned the absence of "faction server" cause the same content (factions etc) will be implemented to the "seasonal server" AND the "legacy" one, which is eternal / permanent / standard / out of season, depending of you call it

[hard eagle]

Who knows if we keeping our characters from previous version and we can continue playing them on 1.0v?

[minor vigil]

[craggy lynx]

will the ultimate upgrade pack be available even after release?

[wicked plover]

yes

[fluid saddle]

does this game have gear that increases item drops like poe does or no

[sharp current]

No

[arctic kraken]

Do we have access to see all nodes in gathering storm atm? Or just the few highlighted in dev posts

[sharp current]

But there are blessings you can get in monos that increase the chance of certain item types dropping

[fluid saddle]

i see thx

[acoustic thicket]

ok so i bought the game, played for 110 minutes, meaning i can still get a refund. but the problem is i actually really like the game... lol so yeah im seriously considering keeping it. whats everyones thoughts on this game? do you seeing it stand the test of time like diablo 2 for example? im curious to see how everyone feels. if possible can any and everyone just tell me features and different things they know about it to convince me its worth keeping and its as good of a game as i think it is? thanks.

[wicked plover]

i mean you already like it dont you ^^

[minor vigil]

Last epoch discord is going to be biased lol but the systems have an incredible amount of thought put into them and are overall just really well designed

[polar reef]

Can someone explain to me why to hell when i want to respec i am loosing xp it makes my soo anoyed I can't swap between builds to check what i like and i don't, I don't wanna just copy paste internet builds but the way game is build it seems impossible

[zenith acorn]

yea ^^ lol if you like the game i dont think you need others opinions

[acoustic thicket]

yeah i do but i dont want to play for another hour and be like damn should have refunded... lol

[sacred vector]

Do we know if we will be able to play online and offline with the same character? Or will it be seperate like cycles/legacy?

[acoustic thicket]

nonono i just want to know what all the game offers. you can love a game at two hours and hate it at 4 you know?

[zenith acorn]

what do you want to hear from us that will convince you lol?

[minor vigil]

No you can't

[sacred vector]

Cool, ty 🙂

[wicked plover]

if you liked the first 2 hours you will like the next 50 as well

[acoustic thicket]

well i had 900 hours in diablo 2. so if i did that i will probably love this one right?

[wicked plover]

your skills have a base lvl of 10 when you get higher lvl and with more exp gained you relvl them faster

[minor vigil]

Great itemization, cool class design and flavor, some cool bosses, some technical problems, and the endgame isn't as fleshed out as something like path of exile

[sharp current]

If you like ARPGs this one is far, far, far from the worst one you could pick to play. Its a great game.

[jade helm]

Did you ever play marvel heroes?

[minor vigil]

https://youtu.be/5mEZdW1DHpo?si=vCmZ1D9kJ5zEm4oA

[sacred vector]

How is really enjoying the game a problem? If you're really enjoying it and enjoy the ARPG genre then just keep it, you can always come back in a few cycles when things have been worked on a lot more if you're not a huge fan at launch

[polar reef]

Yes i see that but point is i am on early stage of game, when i want to swap build i just cant casue it would cost me too much and i cant try out stuff i need to play one shit until late game and only then can change stuff

[thick shuttle]

To be fair, PoE has had years of development longer than LE.

[zenith acorn]

more or less, yea its similar to d2, just another take on an arpg. if you like customizing builds and making strong characters and progress you will most likely have your moneies worth

[polar reef]

and now i unlocked those subclases and i cant even use them lol

[sharp current]

But you're asking if the game is good in the game's discord. Its like going to a pizza place and asking if they like pizza.

[wicked plover]

you can change whenever, its not that dramatic
your skills will catch up to a reasonable lvl fast enough

[acoustic thicket]

i think its great so far. @minor vigil thank you for that. thats what i was looking for when i posted this question.

[polar reef]

but its anoying imagine you do shit build and then you have to go farm for 30 mins in early and waste time

[acoustic thicket]

im not asking if its good.. im asking ABOUT the game and what features it has i might not have seen or done yet.

[zenith acorn]

im surprised there isnt a channel for the factions

[polar reef]

while i could just swap it all the time with no cost soo i can test stuff, its from my perspective stupid af

[wicked plover]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1123698164503949392

[solid hollow]

there will be a wipe 21th?

[young condor]

No, characters get moved to legacy

[polar reef]

i assume they will not change it... which makes me want to get refund but i cant casue i already played too long for fluckk sake

[solid hollow]

like in poe u mean?

[minor vigil]

#1161416976321744896

[toxic anvil]

I mean in Poe u need the currency

Which takes time anyways

[cobalt maple]

is there a list/table of level requirement / item lvl of bases of weapons? e.g. i'm level 20 and still using a lvl 6 base (i think), what level should i put in a loot filter rule to search for a good base of the same weapon type?

[jade helm]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/category/helms/items

[thick shuttle]

To be honest the biggest draw for me for LE over Path of Exile is

1. Less of a time sink - I can reach endgame and have a comfortable build in half the time I would were it PoE
2. Respec flexibility - Respeccing is more tolerant and achievable here as opposed to PoE
3. Meta balance - All skills are viable, unlike PoE which forces you into metas
4. Game is balanced around not trading items - Builds are completely achievable without ever trading, unlike PoE where lots of build-defining items are so rare that it's easier to farm currency to buy them as opposed to directly farming them.

[young condor]

What on early are you talking about? Being locked into a mastery and wanting to change it? It literally takes next to no time to relevel a character. If you can't be bothered to spend a small amount of time for a different mastery aRPGs might not be for you.

[wanton hatch]

last time I played LE i really liked the (maybe a year go) charging/slam bear build. It was super fast in maps, had a satisfying button combo. Did big dmg was tanky etc. And things died near me (didnt have to back track for loot).

Is there a comparable/similar s-tier build for 1.0?

[cobalt maple]

looks similar to Grim Dawn database, i wonder if its made by same people... hehe, thanks a lot!

[sharp current]

It is

If you look at the top you'll see the link for grim tools as well

[young condor]

It links to GDTools, so...yes 😛

[sly lava]

does CDR affect cooldowns on uniques?

[toxic anvil]

Poe does have metas but if you know what you’re doing you can do some insane stuff viably, you don’t get that flexibility in LE

[wicked plover]

no

[sly lava]

aw

[polar reef]

bro in early literaly your base level is 2 while you should have spells on level 6/7 which is high difference and going to farm them all the time is annoying as hell

[zenith acorn]

yes early respecing in the LE is more punishing than it should be ^

[young condor]

I mean, if you're constantly swapping skill specs, that's on you for not settling on a build. You can check out skills at a base level without speccing into them.

[toxic anvil]

I do agree that early skill specs should be easier but yeah later on sure it can be tougher

[polar reef]

I am constantly swaping cause i wanna see them in action instead of reading about them

[young condor]

Wanna see a skill in action? Just add it to your action bar. Boom. Now use it. Does not require speccing into it.

[thick shuttle]

This, precisely.

If I want to do something stupid in PoE like, say, Cyclone CWC Lightning Warp, I hit an upper limit very quickly.

If I want to do something stupid in LE, I can at least get to monoliths before I stop having fun with it.

[peak falcon]

is the game not that optimized? im on an i7 10870H,3060 ,24gb ram laptop and the game usually stutters when inside town

[zenith acorn]

yea i dont like that it de-levels and than you have to catch up to get it to 20. its fine in end game but early its not fun

[young condor]

You do not have to spec into them to use them.

[polar reef]

you have to spec into them if you wanna go and check the build and in early its done in unresonable time

[young condor]

You know how to swap skills on your action bar right? That's all you do to check them out. You only spec into them if you want them as part of your build.

[polar reef]

but you uderstand that i wanna check the full picture i wanna spec and see how it work ?

[sharp current]

You're not getting that much functionality out of most skills with 2 or 3 points into it.

[split wren]

can you filter for LP?

[young condor]

Then it's on you to do the work of leveling it back up if you wanna swap out so frequently.

[polar reef]

but that's the issue i cant check stuff cause i need to level up

[young condor]

Precisely this. I have zero reason to put 2-3 points into each skill to "see it in action".

[toxic anvil]

They mean early specs where nodes can still change how skills work

Quite a few skills work like that

[young condor]

Well in that case, it's a small cost measure of checking it out, to be able to swap as freely as it is.

[thick shuttle]

To be honest leveling here is quite fast, what's preventing you from creating two offline characters and speccing both of them into the build you want?

[young condor]

Hell, there are times where I go several levels before I even bother putting skill points in 😂

[toxic anvil]

Yeah true

[polar reef]

I mean i am completelty new to that game but I have played a lot od diablo and there i could just do whatever i want with my skills which was just at least for me a lot better option

[young condor]

That's how fast it can go honestly. This idea that the game is somehow unplayable because you can't swap completely free of cost is silly. Compared to PoE, this is the least punishing method that I've seen.

Not in diablo 2 you couldn't 😂

[polar reef]

I played d3 d4(its trash i know) soo i am not that much expierence as you guys might be, but still i rather like to experiment with my build at all time instead of wasting time in early while i am most exicted to see how stuff works

[solid hollow]

I see metas here too

[sharp current]

I can see both sides of the argument though. On the one hand the leveling and respecing feels a bit superfluous at times. The skill level could just be tied to character level. But at the same time I've never felt punished respecing a skill and if I see a skill that looks like it would have some cool interactions I just make a mental note that I'll have to try it in a build one day. 🤷‍♂️

[leaden tundra]

hey no problem congratz!!

[thick shuttle]

I feel that the devs think that although respecs are fine, there has to be an opportunity cost to changing builds.

You have to remember that in order to sell copies of the game, they have to have people playing the game to ensure that a community exists.

Making everything free means that people hit power ceilings faster, get bored faster and consequently leave faster.

[thorny hedge]

Grim Dawn you pay a cost & materials to swap Skills & Devotions, same goes for Augments. You can never swap your class decision at all, period. You are married to that.

[young condor]

You can still experiment. I think you're making this a big issue where it isn't.

[thorny hedge]

The materials cost can get steep, as you will need to target farm those up.

[young condor]

My one GD char is sitting at 15k scrap per point. Respeccing is pricey 😂

[thorny hedge]

Was more thinking Aether Crystals as well, but yes lol.

[thick shuttle]

Also I've despecced and respecced several times in my current build and it took me no more than 4 hours at max to return to my previous skill power level.

I feel that that's a reasonable amount of time.

[thorny hedge]

Honestly a couple of Nodes in the Mono and you are fully back.

[polar reef]

I see your point but I dont like when game is forcing me to do grind while instead it could just show me more of interesting stuff like new mechanics etc, it just might be that those games are not that much for me as they are for you all

[thick shuttle]

I agree that it feels harsher early, but once you get to monos, it's very quick.

[young condor]

Unless you have very little play time, the respec cost is fine.

[young condor]

You are literally playing the game, where most of your time is spent grinding mobs.

[zenith acorn]

I think thats the problem he is trying to explain, respecing is harder earlier than late. and most new players have a hard time figuring things out if they can't respec early.

[sharp current]

Eh, I'd say in this case the game isn't forcing you. Most people don't respec into every skill over and over. That's a you problem.

[polar reef]

Then i assume i just have to hit high level and then it just not issue at all

[sharp current]

But early respec can feel rough.

[thick shuttle]

If you really want instant testing for builds, petition the devs for an official offline mode savegame editor then do all the exploration you want.

[thorny hedge]

Accelerate XP is a thing and you do catch up fairly quickly.

[young condor]

I purposely don't spec into a skill unless I know it's going to be part of my late game build.

[polar reef]

Ye like that what i am talking about casue i like to test stuff in field casue otherwise you dont see full picture of how things works

[zenith acorn]

if you want a solution, you just have to wait till mid/late game to experiment like how you want

[thorny hedge]

Albeit Monos trivialize that entirely.

[leaden tundra]

what is max character slot?

[young condor]

25

[thick shuttle]

Pretty much this.

Follow a leveling build until you get strong enough to do early monos, then feel free to respec all you want once you get to monos.

The advantage of that method as well is that builds that are designed to be weak at the start and strong later on are more accurately represented as opposed to respeccing all the time at earlygame.

[polar reef]

will go for it I assume cause game is realy fun to play, but still i would prefer to be able to change stuff whenever i wanna

[young condor]

You can, you just gotta work for it a bit

[polar reef]

i see, will give it a try

[thorny hedge]

What may help is keep 1 skill the whole time. The rest mess with TBH. That 1 skill should be your Main DPS skill.

[polar reef]

cause i love a lot about this game comparable to d4 soo far

[thick shuttle]

The thing is, if you make it easy to respec even at earlygame, then that makes an unfair representation of skills that are designed to scale multiplicatively (And thus are weak early and godly lategame).

Because you respec early, you don't get to see true power levels of those skills and are left with the impression that they're weak.

Locking respecs behind some investment makes it so that those skills are more accurately represented.

[zenith acorn]

PoE 2 is doing this, where they are making it easier to respec early and harder late. I think it makes the most sense imo.

[thorny hedge]

POE 1 is no respeccing early. Skills you can always do for free but Passives... Yeah not early at all.

[sharp current]

Its a normal ARPG staple to "lock" a player into a build. Then you get something cool or see a cool skill and then you go play that next. D3/D4 are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head where you could swap builds around freely.

[polar reef]

Yes but there are ppl like me who are going into field and are checking everything, soo I would level up them to see their true power level and then swap to other skill to see its power level

[young condor]

This is the top reason of why I may give PoE2 a shot

Eh, most aRPGS aren't built that way though.

[polar reef]

PoE2 looks awesome tbh, for sure it will be 20 times better then game that ends on 4

[zenith acorn]

I think this is one of the few things d4 has gotten right

[fossil geyser]

Anyon know if there's a way to hover over tooltips in LastEpochTools so I can follow a link to a referenced skill?

[zenith acorn]

also I want to state, respecing doesnt affect me at all. I think it just makes the most sense for casuals and new players

[slow kernel]

Does hardcore have a separate bazaar from softcore? I would assume so but haven't literally seen it said anywhere

[polar reef]

Those were literally only games I played when it comes to similar games like diablo

[thick shuttle]

My point is that the fact that you feel that it's too punishing to respec and takes too long means that you haven't been in the field enough.

Respeccing is easy once you hit monos. It stops being a limiting factor at that point.

[young condor]

I mean, D4's so incredibly simple for builds. It has to go that route because it's so shallow.

[zenith acorn]

why would you gate keep players who are new?

[young condor]

Yes. SC and HC do not share anything.

[young condor]

no one is gatekeeping new players? except maybe poe 1

[mental prism]

did they say how cycle stash tabs will interact with legacy after the cycle ends? I didn't notice any details in patch notes

[young condor]

Everything from cycle gets moved to legacy afaik

[zenith acorn]

I just mean harder early respec is some what making it hard for players to enter

[polar reef]

It's literally my point that I am talking about

[young condor]

That's true for PoE 1. Disagree about that being true for LE.

[polar reef]

Maybe for you who would play 20 hours and would call it early game will not see the point of person for who the early game are first 3/5 hours

[young condor]

Cause each skill, basically, has 4 different branching paths to go down. can't exactly see full power of one at lv 20.

[thick shuttle]

It does not take 20 hours to reach monos.

Monos are doable in 8 hours.

[young condor]

uh....I don't call the first 20 hours early game mate. EArly game is based on levels, not playtime.

[mental prism]

from my experience, the minimum points system is enough for a full respec at every point of leveling

[zenith acorn]

I mean the solution most of you guys gave to White, is follow a build, dont experiment early. I dont think thats a healthly perspective for new comers

[mental prism]

as in if I want to fully despecialize and respec a skill I could do it and it works

[young condor]

I, for one, do not recommend following a build. I recommend experimenting. Which yes, if you're gonna peak into every skill, is gonna require a little bit of grinding to get a few skill points back.

And no, I do not believe that is a barrier of experimenting either.

[mental prism]

i view it as, you're going to want to play the respec a bit anyway, so by the time you find if you like a skill or not, you've got the missing points back already

[young condor]

Skills cap out at level 20 anyways.

[terse yarrow]

Does anyone know if there Is any skin/cosmetics rewards associated with the Cycles ?

[young condor]

Not at this time.

[polar reef]

ok those 8 hours sounds a lot more resonable then i thought at first it would take me to get to i assume late game, but still i would prefer to be able to swap this stuff early cause why not i just dont see those issues that you see with that

[glad stump]

Am I right to assume that "...you directly use" doesn't count skills triggered by things like Runic Invocation's Elemental Nova node?

What are the skill tree nodes called in this game? The small ones, and the hexagonal ones?

[thick shuttle]

This pretty much.

Also if you're disappointed by the early respec system in LE, then I suggest not even trying Path of Exile.

[young condor]

unless Devs have said otherwise

[surreal verge]

@bronze ocean According to LETools Falconer's Mark is tagged as a curse, is this legit or a bug?

[young condor]

If you wanna swap a bunch of skills early, then it's gonna take you a bit longer because of the exp requirement.

[bronze ocean]

It's tagged internally that way, probably just copy/paste error and no one noticed since ailment tags are not in any client facing UI in the game client

[sharp current]

You just need to approach early game respec differently. If you want to respec a bunch to try things out keep your main damage skill and leave one spec spot empty to swap around skills to try. You don't need a full set of specialized skills early on to progress.

[young condor]

^^^ Excellent point.

[surreal verge]

Oh god imagine the multiplayer tech

[glad stump]

What's your best guesstimated pace for someone with loads of ARPG experience, but only one playthrough of LE a few years ago? Say, if I can get to maps in PoE in 6-7 hours?

[polar reef]

Will go for it that way, will check how game plays later on

[thick shuttle]

This pretty much. I have three core skills - Summon Skeletal Mage and two buff shades.

This leaves me two slots to do whatever I want. In that time, I've experimented with wraiths, more skeletons and bone golems, and each time it took me only around 4 hours max each to get each skill to the same power level as my skeleton mage.

[polar reef]

Cause game is fun as hell just wanted to experiment instantly

[zenith acorn]

probs about the same maybe faster 5-7 hours

[thick shuttle]

Played POE until Harvest, got annoyed by the necessity of trading to get good gear, stopped ARPGs for a year.

Bought LE, read up on build guides, saw the Allie Fred Single Archmage build, said, "What the hell, why not give it a try".

Was in monos after 4 days where I could play at most only 4 hours per day due to other life commitments.

[zenith acorn]

alright here's the next question, whats better for a casuals Merchant or CoF?

[thick shuttle]

That was with several experiments where I diverged from the build guide.

[young condor]

CoF you can go at your own pace, imo

[glad stump]

I'm about to try stealing all available time between raising a 13mo old kid and devoting it to LE with the intent of doing CoF with a build I concocted myself with no LE-specific knowledge. Wish me luck lol

[young condor]

This is the way.

[thick shuttle]

LE is a good balance of difficulty for me.

It's not as punishing of a time sink as PoE nor is it so critical that I follow build guide passive points (or else I instantly die to endgame content), but it's not so casual that even if I choose braindead gear and passive combos I can still faceroll content.

[sharp current]

Depends on what you mean by casual. Casual with limited time or casual just chillin' and not really going hard? MG will let you get a build going faster. CoF will let you go at your own pace but you'll still be at the mercy of RNG.

[young condor]

True, but CoF ranks help with that somehwat.

[zenith acorn]

both, but lets say low time investment. I feel MG rank 1 is super strong, you will just have to grind out gold a bit and market over the course of a week should be healthy

[pseudo sky]

So uh, I just fought Pannion as Rogue with a bow, I died because I had be in melee range otherwise bow wasn't hitting. Is that getting fixed?

[sharp current]

It will be a grind either way for sure. Personally I'm going CoF because I spend enough time looking at trade in PoE.

[sharp current]

Yes

[zenith acorn]

also I saw a couple of maxroll creators posted videos and none of them hit above rank 7 if i remember correctly. seems like the later ranks are gonna be massive grinds.

[candid canopy]

they had their ranks reset every CT patch

[mental prism]

I think I'm ok with the grind after they made it so you can sell at any rank in MG

I think I'm going to be playing CoF then just swap to MG if I find something I want to sell

[zenith acorn]

I would still imagine, they arent patching more than once per week and those guys are grinders

[thick shuttle]

Personally I hate the way PoE implements trade.

The fact that some people in PoE can essentially lock certain items so that they have overwhelming control over them (and thus can set whatever pricing they want) and having those items be build-defining?

And making trade so clunky and annoying to the point that it feels like it's easier to castrate yourself with a rusty spoon than to save up enough Divines to get the uniques your build needs?

Hell nah, CoF for me.

[candid canopy]

I dont know how often they were patching, just know they were reset often.

[sharp current]

#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message You might want to take a look at how the factions work again.

[candid canopy]

If you go CoF, your items will be tagged with CoF, even if u go MG later

[mental prism]

no, only the extra items from CoF is tagged

you still have your base drop chances that won't be tagged

[sharp current]

But you wont be able to trade them either.

They won't have a CoF rank but they wont be tradeable either.

[mental prism]

as far as I read, only the extra items CoF gives you are tagged CoF

[surreal verge]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1204439231410216970
CoF tag =/= untradable tag

[mental prism]

ah

[sharp current]

Oh good, there's an FAQ for that finally

[mental prism]

didn't realize that

[candid canopy]

😄

[sharp current]

Oh, not finally. Its been there a while.

[mental prism]

I don't feel that the Item faction post made that clear to me, maybe I missed it

[frosty mango]

So you only get to choose the Factions when u get to Chapter 9 in the Campaign in 1.0?

[sharp current]

Yes

[sharp current]

It was a lot of information to take in with some new systems to wrap ones head around. Its easy to get lost in the mix.

Oh I remember reading that FAQ now, I just forgot it was there. Brain is fried.

Lots of good answers about the faction stuff though in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs Definitely worth sifting through for additional details.

[young condor]

So wednesday is grind out campaign day, got it 😂

[cobalt maple]

has anyone tried/is it possible to make full on Dancing Shadow Shift spam build (rogue character)?

[mental prism]

I think they want to encourage everyone to play through the campaign again what with all the exp nerfs in monoliths and arena

[olive wyvern]

Guys heya!Pls any too have this problem With rogue with acid flask?If I used acid flask every tíme too automaticly used too heal potion.I have diferent mapping key but every tíme used potion If need only acid flas.

[surreal verge]

That would require dancing strikes to be good
It is not good.

[surreal verge]

Do you have a chest unique equipped?

[mental prism]

Elecoes abandon comsumes potion on acid flask

[cobalt maple]

then maybe Unseen Strike? hummu

[surreal verge]

Shift spam builds just run shadow cascade, sync strike, umbral blades.

And a defensive like decoy or smoke bomb

[olive wyvern]

Aha..I check this.Ty mate

[cobalt maple]

gotya

[wild matrix]

Are offline characters offline only or can they be transferred

[sharp current]

Offline characters can not be moved to online or the other way around.

[stoic tendon]

Hi, question : if a skill that scales with attunement says 4% increased dmg per attunement point, and I don't have any other scaling with attunement point (in passives or skill trees), then it's totally useless right ? Or is it multiplicative ?
Because an item that has 10 attunement would only give me 40% increased, when the same item can have affixes with 150% increased.
I'm playing the AoE judgement support build, is it worth to have attunement ?
Thanks

[glad stump]

1. Am I right to assume that "...you directly use" doesn't count skills triggered by things like Runic Invocation's "...you also cast up to one of each type of Elemental Nova" node?

2. What are the skill tree nodes called in this game? The small ones, and the hexagonal ones?

[surreal verge]

Correct, but stats also give other stuff, like attunement giving flat mana.

[surreal verge]

1. Correct.
2. Skill nodes or spec nodes, we don't differentiate from the shape.

[golden violet]

Will there be something like seasonal challenges with cosmetic rewards in poe?

[cobalt maple]

Reading description of Bladedancer's "Flow", whats a "unique skill" ?

[scarlet lily]

Can someone port me to arena please so I can test something on dummies, them I can finally go to bed!?

[blazing raptor]

thanks @sharp current

[surreal verge]

Not the same skill.

[sharp current]

Not for 1.0 release. Nothing confirmed for later cycles either.

[thick shuttle]

Theoretical question:

Assuming that your only defensive layer is ward and you are able to reach the maximum theoretical rolls for all gear, how much ward would you need so that you can facetank any content in the game?

This means 0 armor, 0 resists, 0 endurance and 0 everything else. The only defense is just sheer Ward quantity.

[sharp current]

A lot

[thick shuttle]

What is "a lot"? 10k? 20k? 50k? 200k?

[pastel pebble]

You'd need more defensice layers

[tender condor]

depends on the content

[pastel pebble]

That's a lot of damage cominf your way without res, armor, etc

[tender condor]

there's content that is technically 3000 or 5000 corruption

[pastel pebble]

Yes and you'd die

[tranquil silo]

can you get potion charges while at the training dummy?

[surreal verge]

200k won't save you because you don't have other defenses.

[pastel pebble]

Defensive layers, evem accessible ones, up your effective health pool so much it isn't funny

[scarlet lily]

Does an Echo proc "x chance to cast smite on throw"

[thick shuttle]

I see, thanks. Just trying to figure out how damage dealt by enemies scales in this game.

And yeah, I have capped resists, armor and minions to distract. Just trying to farm the last component for survivability (Exsanguinous). Just wondering if I can focus on one defense and just do tiny dips on the rest, or if it has to be equal dips across 4 or 5 defensive layers.

[pastel pebble]

Yes. Your echoed hammers are still throwing attacks

[tender condor]

if you can surive the julra wide explosion on t4 then you should be good.

that's the only thing i can think of that can be the basis for surviving.

[thick shuttle]

I haven't even attempted T2, I'm too focused on farming Blood, Frost and Death to get Exsanguinous to even try to do that. I haven't even finished empowered monoliths yet because my build is too soft for it.

[tender condor]

so you mean you are farming non-empowered for exsang?

[thick shuttle]

Yes, because I'm having a slight problem with the other level 90 monos

Due to simply lacking enough health

[tender condor]

hardcore?

[thick shuttle]

Softcore, but it gets old when you can't even finish normal nodes without dying at least twice

[tender condor]

if softcore you should really try to go empowered. first layers of permanent defensive stuff you can do is from the blessings

[scarlet lily]

Awesome, can those smites that are proced echo as well? Assuming you converge smite to void

[tender condor]

you can adjust the gears after

[thick shuttle]

Plus my current weapon is crap, so my skeleton damage is crap as well

If I get an upgrade to either weapon or a lucky Exsang drop, I'll stop farming and finish Empowered monos.

Until that time, I'm farming and hoping for a good drop.

[green spindle]

Sorry stupid question, must have been asked many times, but can’t seem to find a confirmed answer, not even in the official thread.

I know faction progress is account-bound, but can you have different characters in different factions at the same time? Or is joining a faction also account-bound?

[sharp current]

Yes, you could have one character in CoF and the other in MG. Ranks are shared if one swaps to the other.

[green spindle]

Oh that’s awesome

Thanks

[pastel pebble]

The triggered smites do not echo. This is the same for converted or not

[violet mortar]

what's your favorite builds?

[sharp current]

Ask again after Wednesday

[split wren]

are the patchnotes on LE tools yet?

[sharp current]

Its updated with 1.0 information if that's what you mean. Patchnotes themselves can be found in #news

[split wren]

are the new bases and affixs added?

[past prism]

Yes. LET is updated. Go to the home page and see it all.

[tender condor]

read the homepage

[split wren]

cool thanks

[neat violet]

Heyo I have a question, anyone play forge sentinel ?
Theres a node in warpath that allows me to summon forged weapons based on my forge strike ability. Now im having lots of fun spinning around with warpath and summoning lots of minions, and never actually use forge strike.

Do I need to have forge strike actually on my ability bar ? Does it have a downside if I just use other abilities ?

[past prism]

You don't need a skill on a bar to enable proc'd skills, no.

[neat violet]

awesome thats what I like to hear :) Thanks !

[agile lava]

Hi guys, I have a question.
What if I use acid flask which proc by explosive trap to convert armor shred to fire shred. But at the same time I converted explosive trap to cold and lightning which also convert fire shred to lightning and cold shred itself.
May I know at the end what kind of shred is happening

[neat violet]

I guess ill still have forge strike specialized in the back though since it improves all my summons

[tender condor]

acid flask is a procced skill

[opal holly]

Hey guys what are some of the best endgame builds for VK?

[surreal verge]

Fire shred, it ignores the explosive trap convert because it's not explosive trap.

[agile lava]

Oh I see

[fringe knoll]

Morning, So got the game after seeing all the videos and reviews and wanted to ask although alot of systems are far "superior" to D4 the main essence which seems to be the same as D4 is that the new content will only be on Cycle characters is that correct?

[agile lava]

Thanks both

[surreal verge]

No Cycle-only content currently

[past prism]

Incorrect. Cycle and Legacy currently have the same content.

[fringe knoll]

so when a new cycle begins both legacy and cycle will have the same " story" " content" to allow my main character i love to continue on ?

[surreal verge]

Yes

[fringe knoll]

ok ty 🙂

[stark storm]

Will we be able to play in offline mode when the servers go down?

[buoyant sinew]

only if you're logged in before the servers go down, since offline still requires a login until the patch has been deployed

[thorny hedge]

If you login Offline before they go down: absolutely.

[stark storm]

Great because i want to try a certain ability before i go make a build for it thx

[green spindle]

They have a lot of builds like this; you are only getting the skill on the bar for its nodes but never using the skill, which is one of the reasons that makes LE so fun actually.

[dapper swift]

Makes sense why Red Ring of Atlaria is do damn rare, they do also stack no?

[surreal verge]

Yes

[spice heart]

Now that we’ve seen the trailer which of the 2 guilds do y’all think will be better

[sharp current]

The one that suits your playstyle best.

[regal harbor]

Sorry, this has probably been asked a lot already, but will I be able to experience the 1.0 content with a currently existing offline character?

[surreal verge]

Yes.

[regal harbor]

Sweet, thanks a lot^^
Got plans to try out sentinel and acolyte in the future

[formal cosmos]

is there any news/update regarding using controller on launch?

[surreal verge]

#news message

[onyx briar]

Patch notes mentioned it I think

[formal cosmos]

Thanks guys

[signal mauve]

With your first character and mindset open to switching builds/gear, at which level do you entirely filter out Magic items? Or do you set some important exceptions?

[rough shuttle]

Greatly depends on your build and the items you might see. Generally you will filter for certain stats. At a certain level you might find more non magic items with the stats you desire.. personally i don't filter them out.. a good roll is a good roll.. Perhaps i'll remove them upon reaching monolith but not often before that.. (my opinion / playstyle)

[teal gate]

There could be the option to add amount of forging potential stat to item filter.

[swift isle]

Necro minion army only build or a thorn totem druid with bees build is good beginner and starter build?

[storm blaze]

They've stated they don't intend to do this
Or filter out uniques based on LP

[fossil geyser]

When theorycrafting, shoudl all endgame builds be using uniques/set weapons or do basics have potential for endgame builds as well

[teal gate]

Oh, alright. Maybe it's just me that would use it xD

[storm blaze]

Basic rares do have potential
sets not really

[surreal verge]

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

[fossil geyser]

okay, so I should theory with uniques and rares

[sharp current]

Most builds will make use of a mix of uniques and exalted items.

[rough shuttle]

They do not need unique / set items to be working. though sometimes they can offer more DPS / EHP then just Rare's

For example Auto bomber doesn't use unique till very late

[uncut wadi]

Does anyone know if they've fixed / are gonna release a fix for certain ISP connectivity issues in 1.0?

[fossil geyser]

Is there any sort of scaling mechanics for early game uniques to be viable for endgame? Still early in the game so don't know too much.

[rough shuttle]

General issues will be adressed in 1.0. Though the extend of the patches are still unclear.. from what has been mentioned allot of work has been put in. so expect improvements

[uncut wadi]

Thank you, will def test it out Wednesday

[placid spruce]

if I start making a build right now, will I be able to play it in 1.0?

[rough shuttle]

#1187326924754788362

[placid spruce]

so, can't play that char in the new "league"?

[formal dust]

i have few questions
A) what is the difference between offline and online mode/character
B) For example if i plan to travel soon, but i will have weak/non stable connection in hotel can i play offline and then transition online later on when back home?
D)Does it matter at all for solo self found
C)On the recent yt questions, dev said the loading times are because it looks for server during multiplayer, if i play SSF offline will have less loading times? (source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdePWYvMSI4)
Thanks in advance.

[sharp current]

Correct, characters created now will go to legacy. If you want to play in the cycle (season/league) you'll want to wait until the patch drops.

But the cycle and legacy characters will have all the same content for 1.0.

[surreal verge]

A) seperate, do not intract with each other, offline stays offline.
B) No.
D)Offline is actually solo char found.
C) Yes.

[formal dust]

Oki thanks, so if i plan on playing ssf, best is to make offline char, given the fact i will travel and often have weak/no internet connection at all?

[storm blaze]

Correct

[round portal]

anyone have picture of the pet we get for referring a friend?

[tender condor]

i dont think its shown

[normal rock]

Lovely patch notes! Who's the winner of the 1.0? :p

[rough shuttle]

You.. the player is the winner

[tender condor]

EHG

[desert sequoia]

back when i first played, LE was pretty fair for HC gamers... like very few bullshit random 1shots, reflect etc. is this still true?

[subtle sail]

for future big content is it gonna be limited to only the cycles and not legacy? kinda like how diablo keeps seasonal new stuff on seasonal chars and off the legacy ones

[rough shuttle]

All cycle information and related notes are found in the patch notes #news

[mystic moon]

Hey everyone. I am completely new to Last Epoch. I always enjoy playing tanky/bruiser melee characters with big 2 handed (Hammers preferred) weapons. Now I'm not sure which class is suited for this. Obviously Sentinel, but no clue about sub-class. Or possibly even the Primalist could fit this role? If anyone has some tips or advice, it's very welcome.

[surreal verge]

Excluding connection diffs, mostly true

[rough shuttle]

LE Tools (Website)
Maxroll (Website)

Both offer a good bit of starter builds (Note check if updated to 1.0) These could offer inspiration.

[buoyant sinew]

Void Knight and Forge Guard are more themed for 2h than Paladin, but you can do Paladin too.

Primalist might be a flavour miss for you because Primalist melee-related builds tend to either use a lot of minions or spend all their time shapeshifted

[teal gate]

If you don't mind to be shapeshifted, bear is a great example of tanky bruiser

[humble elm]

Hi everyone!
I have a bit stupid question: how does adaptive damage works with double-element skills? Like, Cinder strike deal physical and fire, or Disintegration deals lightning and fire. How untyped damage (like from weapons) works in these cases? Half one type, half another? All to one type? Full value to both types?

[buoyant sinew]

half and half

[mystic moon]

Yeah, not really my type of thing, shapeshifting. Thanks tho!

[mystic moon]

Ok good to know. Not really a fan of shapeshifting or minions. Thanks!

[loud creek]

Then go void knight, can't go wrong with that

[buoyant sinew]

yeah agree, Warpath, Void Cleave and Erasing Strike are the melee 2h Void Knight builds that tend to be popular

Forge Guard is showing its age a bit, harder to use and mostly weaker for melee

oh Rive as well (for a VK option) sorry

[mystic moon]

Cool 🙂 Void Knight indeed looks nice.

[low wren]

Anyone know if the new offline mode will allow the use of cosmetics? Up to now you could not use them

[neat violet]

wait so do I need the skill on the bar or not ?

[zealous tusk]

Still can't in offline

[low wren]

That is so very sad, I don't understand why 😭

thanks for the answer

[zealous tusk]

Same. I also play in offline.

[neat violet]

That seems like a bug lol

[severe fjord]

why?

[low wren]

I can only hope 1.0 netcode is better than the current, playing online at 220 ms from Africa is very janky, otherwise my cosmetics are useless

[surreal verge]

Unless specified, they don't need to be on your bar.

[severe fjord]

just get better internet
