Which forum thread was this on?

[acoustic thicket]

Yep.

[sleek sage]

this one https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/le-52-error-with-polish-isp/52427/63?page=4

Cloudfare doesn't work, I am going to try Proton again

*warp

[cedar locust]

Are you on Steam Deck?

We also have this Discord Thread for the same issue as that Forum post - https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1083469653176766518

[sleek sage]

No I am on my desktop PC, I just tried Proton and its now working

I am going to try without a VPN

yep that failed... deffo some ISP wierdness going on

[cedar locust]

ProtonVPN or Proton - the Steam windows emulation software?

[sleek sage]

the VPN

my Router was blocking ProtonVPN with the firewall yesterday, when I turned that off, it now works

[cedar locust]

Oh, so you can play?

[icy drift]

A fellow person of culture I see, and trust me I tried for the 69 420 lul

[sleek sage]

I can now with a bit of lag, or I can use my phone as a tethered hotspot, so I have 2 work arrounds

[surreal verge]

Sir, this is not the trading channel.

[gusty bough]

晚安

[icy drift]

English please, and good night to you too ^^

[echo belfry]

I went the Temporal Sanctum route and finished the game early. I am working my way back now and am stuck on VIII - Liath and Thetima. It says to speak to Yulia in Thetima, which I have done and selected the gold arrows to progress, but the quest is bugged and not updating. Does anyone know of any workarounds please?

[jolly socket]

What is the best way to farm talon of valor?

[vocal plank]

Looking at these numbers I think falconer is going to be tweeked a bit ngl

[icy drift]

Mine is not from falconer ^^

[vocal plank]

Warlock?

[icy drift]

nope

sorcerer

[vocal plank]

What build

[icy drift]

It's not a real build, it's basically a cheese to get a big number for the dps estimation

[vocal plank]

Ah ok. Makes sense

[icy drift]

yup, just a meme

[native sail]

Is it your expertise or something else that I've missed recently?

[icy drift]

it's something else, sorc can't use shatter strike 😛

[native sail]

Riiight. Base class is Mage not Sorc.

Says something about my view on Sorc

[icy drift]

you can get to 50 or so mil dps on shatter strike tho

i got to 20 mil pre 1.0

didn't play 1.0 enough but i could've prob gotten to 50 mil with mg

[vocal plank]

Ngl idk if it's just me but sorc as a whole just isn't fun to me.
Though it makes sense as most of my builds are minion

[native sail]

Sorc is just super powercrept atm and I don't see a big reason to use it until it's addressed

[vocal plank]

That makes sense

[icy drift]

A lot of the older masteries are tbh, they've said they're gonna slowly adress it which they kinda did for shaman in 1.0 but tbh not really right lol

they just changed some things so they'd work with gathering storm

[native sail]

Yeah. Shaman is still a situation where you put like 25 points in and call it a day

[south scaffold]

Need some theorycrafting help.
So the basic concept is this,

1: I go warlock for fissure and take the node to summon volatile zombies.

2: in zombies im taking nodes to summon vanguard and 100% Sacrifice chance

3: for Sacrifice i get 100% chance to summon blood spectres

4: skeletal mages explode blood spectres.

With 3 open fisures, potion and manual casting of zombies should be a lot of explosions sacrifice should mainly prioritize vanguards for consumption and those come from every zombie.

For a 5th Ability I'm torn.
I could go profane vale for more zombies and defense/clense,

i could go marrow shards and have zombies cast it free on death, that would regenerate health and mana rapidly.

I could go infernal shades as fissure and Sacrifice interact with it a zombies cast it

I could also go hungering soul and turn mages into death knights, but I'm worried they would get Sacrificed much more often in melee. But that would be a good casted nuke too.

Also unsure what to focus on for scaling. Damned and ignite to witchfire maybe? Straight int? Minion or genaric spell damage? Any advice would be appreciated.

[cedar locust]

Is this in Online or Offline?

[echo belfry]

@cedar locust, online.

[cedar locust]

You might be able to ask in #👥┃lfg for a teleport to Lagon's Isle. The team are aware of this and looking into it - it would be helpful to submit an in game bug report before getting a teleport if you don't mind, just make sure to select 'Unable to Progress' before sending that in!

[echo belfry]

I did submit, but did not think of the waypoint in a group. Thank you.

The dialogue is "later" - it acts like I've already killed Lagon.

[tidal shell]

Is there a way to disable the minimap?

[cedar locust]

Can you send me a screenshot of your Quest text on the Map page?

[surreal verge]

Small problem with 1:
The summon rate is terrible. Run the zombie rings instead.

[cedar locust]

In the top right?

[tidal shell]

ye that and/or the overlay one

[cedar locust]

There isn't anyway to disable those in game however you could put a sticky note over the corner of the screen to cover it 😅 and make a post in #1210282176680169562 for adding the option

[echo belfry]

@cedar locust

[tidal shell]

😅 too bad, I find it taking away from exploring the map, I tend to mostly focus on the map to follow the path/the objectives and barely explore the actual area/look at the gameplay

[cedar locust]

Oh I meant like this

[tidal shell]

anyone know where the options file is located? containing game settings

[cedar locust]

Hmm, strange. It might be worth retracing your steps on foot from 'Speak to Architect Liath' so don't use the map (M) to travel, walk on foot to a waypoint and click it. If that fails, then an In Game Bug Report and getting a lift in #👥┃lfg is your best bet to keep progressing

[echo belfry]

But as you can see from the other screenshots, the dialogue is already treating it like it's later in the story.

Anyway, thank you for the tip.

[cedar locust]

Could be a hiccup given the quest tracking tomfoolery happening. Retracing steps has helped in other quests that have gotten stuck, though not all

[acoustic thicket]

Anybody got up to date Lootfilter? I am using the ''all around'' for all classes from epochtools and am very unhappy with it.

[surreal verge]

Honestly, make your own. Most good lootfilters are build-specific.

[acoustic thicket]

Work has to be done...

[acoustic thicket]

As first just disable normal/magic/rares and then move on... took me 3 minutes.

[oblique swift]

i'm pushing for corruption and i'm at 148, am i missing something or can i really only get 10 corruption per gaze of orobyss? o.O

[surreal verge]

Yup, and if you stack more gazes, it'll get lower per gaze.

[acoustic thicket]

If I am not mistaken, farm 3x 800 stability, go to end node and enjoy.

[desert tree]

The Stability can hold twice the amount for a boss fight not 3 times

[acoustic thicket]

3 Gaze is max? Or am I wrong?

[surreal verge]

there's no hard cap for gaze.

You can stack 10 if you want to

[acoustic thicket]

Why can't I hold all them Gaze's.jpg

[desert tree]

Sorry, I thought you were talking about smth else

[oblique swift]

soooooo no easier way? D: damn

[craggy condor]

Hey fellow travelers, 🙂
Is there a way to target farm ward per second affixes when starting from scratch, like SSF?

[surreal verge]

Pray to RNGesus.

(no)

[craggy condor]

haha

ok

[surreal verge]

<@&1082357055484071997>

[acoustic thicket]

<@&1161418687471956101> ^ Wat iz diz? Spam...

[craggy condor]

I found that for 5 characters I started in SSF, wanting to make a unique build, I was unable to make those builds work in lower levels, it's only at levels 60+ when I was getting the affixes I needed.
I found that so frustrating in trying to make unique builds that relied on specific affixes.
So much so that I'd drop my unique idea and just build a dumbed down brute damage build which was definitely stifling trying to innovate.

[surreal verge]

To be fair, most builds only come “online” at lv 50 or higher

[craggy condor]

do you guys think that is a problem or that making unique build work in lower level would only be viable on alts when you already have a pile of affixes?

I understand that

I feel that it's stifling innovation and trying something crazy.
especially for people just starting out,
playing this game over D3/D4/POE, gave me the hope that I'd be able to jump in and build something unique from the get go, and I think that many new players would get that feeling of wanting to 'explore' the multitude of passive nodes and how they can be combined with affixes and itemization - only to be shut down by the absolute inability to make the build work. only after amassing a stock of affixes would they actually be able to make that unique idea they had when first launching the game, but by then, I feel like, most would already stop playing.

[desert tree]

What do you mean by "unique build"?

What were you trying to make?

[craggy condor]

I think that introducing a low level soft target farm system would go a long way in capturing mainstream players and maintaining a higher player count

I remember vaguely trying something like a ward acolyte

lich

[surreal verge]

Hot take: if your build needs a specific, rare affix to work, it might not be a good build

(Ward per sec is a rare affix)

[craggy condor]

might be the case, but I think the game should allow that exploration

from the start

[surreal verge]

Rare affix shards do drop from the start.
Their rates are just horrible. You’re better off shattering them from items that have it, which are less rare but still rare

[desert tree]

Imo it's better not having every option available right from the start
It's less overwhelming for new player. And it gives a feeling of progression.

[surreal verge]

(Also ward lich is not good for seperate reasons)

[craggy condor]

I get that.
I just think that these kinds of games shine with making something that I can call my own
and that most people would stop playing before getting to the point when that is possible

[surreal verge]

It kinda loops to the problem of “there’s no good way to farm for rare affixes and it’s recommended to not rely on them”

[craggy condor]

queue the mods sharing at which level/amount of characters most players stop playing

[surreal verge]

Even at peak endgame, there is no method to farm for them

[craggy condor]

Hot take: no affixes should be rare.
in a balanced game, different types of affixes are side-grades not upgrades.

thus allowing true build exploration

[wide sentinel]

thats just powercreep

[desert tree]

I strongly disagree with this.
Some things need to be rarer than other because the don't yield the same power

[surreal verge]

That’s fair, but affixes that give skill points AND a stat exist, so it has to currently exist

Also hybrid health exists

[craggy condor]

there are plenty of things to keep rare, just not affixes which are intrinsic to the crafting system on which the build exploration heavily relies

[wide sentinel]

are u talking abt raw dropped affixes?

or affixes that roll on gear

there is big difference

[craggy condor]

and in a game that prides itself on its approachable crafting system, when some crafts and almost impossible... you get my point

[surreal verge]

To use what you asked:ward per sec is actually an upgrade over standard health for every int class.

[craggy condor]

whichever, as long a build exploration is enabled

[wide sentinel]

if whichever then its a bad suggestion, you want us to easily get t7 low life affix or t7 hybrid hp affixes in a game where u can already 95% minmax char in a week

[craggy condor]

meaning that i'd be dumb to not get that for almost every character/build?
shouldn't be the case Imho

[surreal verge]

Any non-ll ward build would use it if they can (but it only exists on mage and acolyte)

[wide sentinel]

also crafting is secondary, always all good items comes from dropping or buying an item with t7 affix that u need, you cant craft that....

[craggy condor]

I probably explained poorly, that's not the outcome I see with my suggestion

[surreal verge]

It’s only issue is that it clashes with resist affixes, but that’s easy to fix.

[craggy condor]

I mean allowing affix diversity, from the start, to enable build exploration.

not talking about min maxing or capping a specific affix

[wide sentinel]

you suggested removing rarity among affixes which will make hybrid hp as common as phys res, or low life affix as common as some other trash experimental affixes, at least thats what your suggestion implying

[craggy condor]

as I said previously:
in a balanced game, different types of affixes are side-grades not upgrades.

so tuning is obviously neede if what you're saying is the case, and it is.

[wide sentinel]

well here its a big upgrades lol, if anything its the only upgrade u seek in endgame

getting right t7 and t7 slams

[surreal verge]

This would be hard. There’s affixes that give you skill points, and that is always an upgrade no matter what you do.

What about hybrid health? It’s also always an upgrade.

[wide sentinel]

the whole LE itemization is about these rare affixes now

and LP items

[craggy condor]

ok, you can keep them rare, since they don't enable build diversity but just increase the power of a specific skill

[surreal verge]

Which then we kind of loop back.
Some affixes are rare for a reason.

[craggy condor]

ok, but others are rare for no reason

but maybe being overtuned

[surreal verge]

Any examples? Ward per sec is technically an upgrade to a good chunk of builds if its common.

[craggy condor]

ok, but as someone said previously that ward is not actually good for lich
in that case wps wouldn't be an upgrade...

[surreal verge]

And you won’t be using it at all.

[craggy condor]

and for the builds in which it is, it's probably overtuned, as we probably already know

[surreal verge]

So it being common or rare wouldn’t affect you since you don’t want it

[merry torrent]

wait, what affixes in particular are required to get a build working?

[craggy condor]

I(players exploring building crazy things) would want it even on a lich

[surreal verge]

At least for the case of lich, you will very quickly find out why no one does it even with a casual build.

(It’s anti-synergy)

[craggy condor]

I'm not saying that a specific affix would make a build work definitely
I'm saying allow me to try and make the build work by exploring things that are not meta, and discover on my own that they are not meta for a reason instead of stifling build exploration

[merry torrent]

yes, I get that, but what affixes are actrually needed to explore a working build. If anything uniques are what hold builds back, not affixes on rares, unless you are talking about experiential affixes*

[merry torrent]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngVxJ-Wn13o

[craggy condor]

when I first started playing I was very much delighted with the multitude of nodes etc. but then, trying to build something and just not getting the affixes for 70+ levels made me switch builds and play something I didn't want to, as well as dropping my affix economy and gold because of crafting from cratch to fit a new build

[surreal verge]

Man, of course it’s this whack ass build.

[craggy condor]

I was talking specifically about my lack of encounters with ward per second trying to build a ward lich as my first character

[surreal verge]

It’s 2 months ago, so might be using the bugged version of it

[merry torrent]

there are many different sources of ward/sec though on base items and passives. Also I don't see how the effect would be build enabling unless you could scale damage off it, or it interacted in other ways to help defense/utility.

[craggy condor]

I was beckoned to try that because some passive skill nodes had cool interactions with ward.
I remember now the lich has like a 3 or 5x damage buff on low life, I found a drain life get ward legendary early and needed ward per second to not die

[surreal verge]

Well. Exsang exists…

[merry torrent]

the low life effects are meant to be used with death seal I believe

while in lich form

[surreal verge]

Exsang also gives you more ward the more missing health you have, so more max health= more ward per sec

[craggy condor]

I understood that from a mastery design standpoint, and I wanted to try that without death seal

because I didn't like the mechanic

[merry torrent]

sadly that's where most of the damage is, so it will be hard, but in either case there are better sources of ward then ward/sec affixes. Most people don't use thouse affixes for a reason, even when they make heavy use of ward

[surreal verge]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzDMwRgo
If you’re talking about this item:Building health is always much better than ward per sec

[merry torrent]

if you want massive amounts of ward you need the loose health/sec and missing health = ward/sec

[craggy condor]

all of this is a bit beside my point I feel,
I think that build exploration is not enabled to its full extent when some affixes are just not found

[surreal verge]

Honestly, it exists so you don’t fall into noob traps

[craggy condor]

hmm

[surreal verge]

They aren’t common for a reason

[craggy condor]

I don't think that treating the playerbase a dumb is a wise design decision

[merry torrent]

I'm rather confident that no build relies on affixes (from crafting shards) to fundamentally work at all. They all just increase DPS or defenses but in no way are directly required for a build to function mechaniclly.

[surreal verge]

There’s a reason everytime someone asks “why can’t I beat lagon” the default reply is “do you have more than 1k health?”

Because some most people ARE dumb

[craggy condor]

I beat lagon on my first character, actually, after about 6 tries, without altering my build

[merry torrent]

sometimes it's about learning mechanics, somtimes it's about making sure you have cold resists 😛

[craggy condor]

true, but I don't think it's a wise design decision, still

look at old games

[acoustic thicket]

This and +1 Frostbite's in a single run, what you think?

[craggy condor]

didn't hand held

[surreal verge]

Well, if you’re using what unique I think you’re using, you ARE falling into a trap right at this conversation

[craggy condor]

and that was due to the want to explore

[surreal verge]

But if you didn’t know you were wrong because you didn’t figure it out, does it matter?

Wait, yes actually, technically it would be a good noob check.

[craggy condor]

look at elden ring for instance, it's a bit of a throwback to the old days of gaming without holding the players hand.
many have wandered, found a boss they can't possible beat, thought that game wasn't designed properly, but then realised that they had actually made a mistake in trying to take him on that early.

[merry torrent]

ARPG's /= Dark Souls, Different mechanics for fundamentally different reasons

[surreal verge]

That game gives you a “mess around and find out vibe”.
LE doesn’t have that vibe other than in skill choice.

[merry torrent]

to attract fundamentally different people

[craggy condor]

woah, didn't realise I made the assumption they were

[merry torrent]

just saying using that game as an example is a poor example

[craggy condor]

I meant letting players make mistakes, explore, build dumb builds, and become smarter on their own, without handholding

[surreal verge]

It’s affix rules are pretty standard for ARPG standards, it’s just easier to fix compared to the others

[merry torrent]

technically you can in this game, by not looking up guides or asking for help, just like in Dark souls

so don't see what's your point is?

[craggy condor]

my point is a game that in its core is about the build you're making, and making it stand out, be your own, unique. that feeling of intrigue, exploration, new grounds etc.
which cannot be done without allowing to get the building blocks required EDIT: until much later in the game when that feeling is already dead and gone, was for me. looked up a build eventually

[surreal verge]

Affixes aren’t the building blocks, that’s the thing.
It’s the mastery choice, skill choice and unique choice.

[merry torrent]

That's kind of the point though, if you had a game where you could get your build running at full effectiveness quickly, then interest would fall off, need aspirational content in order for people to stay engaged. This is a looter game, that's closer to the boarder lands games then it is to Dark souls, some items have to be rare in order for the "finding loot" to feel impactful at all

[surreal verge]

It might be a mindset issue, since at least for me, the feeling of “mess around and find out” was only dead after I explored a lot of builds.

[craggy condor]

not full effectiveness, but not be god-awful

[merry torrent]

I don't mean any shade by this comment at all, however have you considered that maybe the reason why the build was god-awful is because it was always going to be god-awful, and not because you lacked a few affixes?

[craggy condor]

for me, after 50 levels, and being frustrated about my build, understanding that I can't enable my idea because I lack the affixes was like hitting a brick wall

[merry torrent]

so what was the brick wall, defenses or damage?

[craggy condor]

maybe, but let me get the affix to see that it is indeed the case!

[surreal verge]

Mindset issue honestly, most builds don’t even “work” until 50.
You’re basically a kid until lv 50.

[craggy condor]

I'll say again
I truly think that all affixes (beside +1 to X skill) should be sidegrades

[craggy condor]

I'll try that build again and see what's up, since I played it a while ago

[surreal verge]

There’s currently too many affixes that are straight upgrades for that to work, you’ll basically have to rework the affix system.

And it’s probably not the dev’s vision

[merry torrent]

I still fail to see how having a particular rare affix would make or break your build, it might slow progression, but fundamentally brick wall your build seems highly unlikely, unless there is a very specific mechanic for ward/sec that I'm missing

now if you were talking about unique items, i would understand

[craggy condor]

you're right,
I'm fighting a lost cause
it's just I feel that that was an error in game design if it causes players to be unable to pursue their unique ideas
since imo that would most help retain playerbase

the feeling of if I see it, I can get there

is not present

[surreal verge]

The issue with the way you’re thinking is that the unique ideas are in UNIQUES, and not affixes

[faint cape]

If everything worked fine, then your choices wouldn't matter too much. Gotta have the lows to have highs and whatnot.

Build constraints are an important part of making building a character interesting

[merry torrent]

yes, are we talking about a unique that your build required, or affixes (as in the crafting mat)?

[vocal plank]

Can someone help me out real quick? I'm used to low life ward builds, not dual health/ward. How can someone figure out their average ward outside of game from, things like volatile zombie

[craggy condor]

you know what wasn't interesting in my (measly) 180 hours of trying builds?
realising that in each mastery, multiple specific predefined builds were preplanned, and that deviating from those most ridden paths would lead to brick walls

[merry torrent]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ward

[surreal verge]

There’s no reliable way, thunklabs has a ward calculator if you can find an avgrage.

[merry torrent]

Google (or duckduckgo) is your friend

[surreal verge]

That kind of sounds like you been only looking at meta builds…

[vocal plank]

I have the Calc, just wondering how to do that specific thing

[merry torrent]

It's the conflict of build efficiency and illusion of choice. This game might not be complex enough to satisify your build crafting itch. A game like Path of Exile has far more complexity and should provide a ripe place to theory craft if you have not already.

[craggy condor]

to me it was - starting a character, trying to craft something out of the ordinary, and lacking the affixes to even see if it's good or bad

[surreal verge]

Using lich as an example (again), lich has a lot of path to offense.
Lich only has one truly locked off defense route which is ward.
All of lich’s offense paths can be done with only common affixes.

[faint cape]

Preplanned by who? Are you talking about other people already discovering a lot of builds?

[craggy condor]

devs

[faint cape]

Oh, nah they definitely don't think it out like that

nor could they, probably

[craggy condor]

but they try to build in some synergy in to each mastery, and not just throw random nodes, otherwise nothing would stick

[faint cape]

Yeah, there's thematic stuff to each mastery which is part of what makes each one different

[merry torrent]

having a few good nodes scattered around is a far cry from cookie cutter builds (like in games like D3 and to an extent D4)

[craggy condor]

and I found that those inbuilt and most plain-to-see synergies were by far the strongest and easiest to build

because of lack of affixes, in my case

[merry torrent]

yeah, this game isn't that complex, it's more so then D4, but a very far cry from PoE

[craggy condor]

yeah..

[merry torrent]

this game is filling in a role, a middle ground for people who think D4 is dull, and PoE is too complex, it's a good role to fill

[craggy condor]

I had the hope(and still do) that I'd be able to find something insanely crazy hidden in plain sight and call it my own

[desert tree]

When I see people pushing 400 Corruption with Lunge, I really can't agree with you

[merry torrent]

Personally I lean heavly on the complexity side, I'm mostly plaything this game because I grew bored of the theory crafting in PoE lol

[craggy condor]

mid-early game was what I was talking about

[faint cape]

Gotta use the tools available to you creatively rather than just pick a direction intentionally different from the obvious and expect something to pop up

[craggy condor]

I didn't flip a coin

I had a unique Idea

as I said, I have to give it another go and share the experience here

thank you all this discourse, was a pleasure

have to call it a night

[merry torrent]

Well good night, good luck with your theory crafting

[faint cape]

A good number of us are usually around to help brainstorm meme builds, always welcome especially in the class channels

[merry torrent]

meme builds are the only builds I do 😛

[desert tree]

Hey @faint cape , how have you been doing?

Long time no see

Played anything nice lately?

[faint cape]

Hey! Doing well here, keeping busy, staying salty (I heard cold locust swarm is probably never going to return).

I have mainly been waiting for 1.1, how have you been?

[desert tree]

Really busy, moved from Scotland back to France. Took care of my son for 4 months and just got a new job.
I managed to play a bit. My latest wonky build is around Fissure inside Smite.

[faint cape]

Ooh yeah, I got nothing on you for busy-ness lol

Fissure is very truly wonky 😂

[desert tree]

I started with Multistrike but that skill is awful. And I just theory crafted a new setup that should give me about 30-40% More Dmg and more Tankiness

I will try it tomorrow when the kid is at the 'nursery

30% more dmg with the same gear 🥵
And no more Multistrike. That's going to feel good

[vocal plank]

Volatile zombie
+10hp/lvl
+10hp/int
200 base hp
464% minion health

Int: 101
Lvl: 100

((((10×lvl)+(10×int)+200)×minion hp%)×.8%
This works to determine the ward I'd get from one zombie blowing up right?

Then I'd divide that by the amount if seconds it takes to cast to get the ward/sec right?

[desert tree]

You get 80% of the zombie hp as ward?

[vocal plank]

Unless I can't read. It's late af

[desert tree]

No no you are right

[faint cape]

Through direct casting? That would definitely be a huge upgrade over MS 👀

[desert tree]

You have no healing effect?

[desert tree]

Javelin Banner

[vocal plank]

No it's not effected by that

States it on the node that converts to ward

[faint cape]

Ooh interesting, almost like a totem build

[desert tree]

I loose some "stacks" of Fissure but in the end I get more dmg

From what I have calculated, Warpath would give me the most dmg. But I don't know how to solve my Mana (because Fissure always consume Mana)

So I plan on using Banner and while it's raining Smites I spam Vengeance + HH

[desert tree]

Oo
I didn't see it that way but yes kinda

[merry torrent]

wait that says 0.8%, that's minion life x 0.008

[desert tree]

Yup

The exemple in the tooltip is wrong

[merry torrent]

won't be getting much ward from it at all, unless he has massive amounts of healing effectivness

[vocal plank]

That doesn't work with that node

Effectiveness has no effect on ward gained

[faint cape]

Just gotta have boatloads of minion health, and of course ward retention

[vocal plank]

Yea

[merry torrent]

ah ok

[vocal plank]

I get your thought process though

[merry torrent]

maybe golem with health potion gain, spam potions (health converted to ward for pots) with spawn volatile via potion use, for a burst of ward/damage

[vocal plank]

I have health gained on golem hit

Went blood golem

[merry torrent]

well there is an affix or unique somewhere that gives your golem a higher chance to drop potions on hit

i forget where

[vocal plank]

It's a belt iirc. Set belt

[merry torrent]

ah yeah, pebbles

2 set bonus

which is annoying, can't get LP on them

[vocal plank]

Yea. I need my slots for lp

Wait would I really only get 82w/s with those numbers???

Not even /s /z

[merry torrent]

yes, because 0.8% = x 0.008 it's not even 1% of the minions total life

[desert tree]

I am very interested in the Warcry Tab 👀

[merry torrent]

might be confusing a x 0.8 multiplier (which is 80%) and x 0.8% (0.008) which honestly is a bad way to express it

[vocal plank]

Warcry meme build stacking frostbite

[desert tree]

That was you ???

Warcry Totem ?

[vocal plank]

Yea, personally wish it just said .008

[vocal plank]

..... yeah, why

[desert tree]

I spend almost an hour with you trying to figure out how much Cast we would get from the Warcry Totem

Did you ever try it ?

[vocal plank]

Oh yeah. We did lol

I haven't yet no. Still plan to

I'm playing HC with a buddy this cycle. Once I get gear I will probably swap to that for a bit to try

[vocal plank]

Playing with numbers, 0.02 would be much better imo because the number is bigger, but that's dangerous with how tanky necro is. And we don't want it a required skill for late game for all builds.

[merry torrent]

yeah 2% would do a lot of ward if you stack minion life up

[vocal plank]

Yea, with 464% you get 205 w/z

1230 w/ 6z

On the bright side, I can sustain the mana needed to cast this as long as I don't cast more that once per second

[bleak nymph]

havent played in awhile logged in, lord the stuttering , whats gong on

[vocal plank]

=(0.4×C2)÷((1+0.5)×B20) ward retention formula

Any idea why this is returning an error?
I'm trying to see if volatile is even worth adding in

[faint cape]

Like, are you using excel or something?

use * for multiplication and / for division

[vocal plank]

Sheets but yes

Had to use × here because of how discord deals with stars

I hate myself.. just had to swap the ÷ for / whoops

[faint cape]

you can use tildes like quotes to ignore the formatting stuff ` <- this thing

[vocal plank]

Really. I'll keep that in mind

[faint cape]

or highlight and click the option that looks like < >

[vocal plank]

The more I look at the numbers the less worth it seems to me to have zombies in my build for ward I'm ngl

I'll have to test in game to be 100% sure

[faint cape]

Yeah, for that ward gen node itself it's pretty extremely weak in my experience - not that I tried pushing it super hard

[vocal plank]

Yea that .8% really hurts how high it can go. But it's one of those things that if they're not careful it will be too busted

The difference between moving one decimal point to the left

[faint cape]

Yeah, that is how ward always is heh. There's a few things in the game currently where they weren't careful enough

[rough hinge]

Is "Void Penetration" a rare affix ?

[candid elm]

Yes https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/prefixes/AAwo

[rough hinge]

What section did you go to in order to query affix type ?

[candid elm]

In the item db https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/ you can click on prefixes https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/prefixes and then use the filter box. Or you can just use the search box, but it'll show you everything with void pen

[rough hinge]

Are certain weapons more prone to drop in particular areas or from particular mobs ?

[candid elm]

I don't believe so. The required level is tied in some manner to the area level, so you don't see the required level 75 items dropping in an area level 50. But once you're in the end game stuff, everything can drop. Outside of the restricted items, such as boss only drops.

You can't really target farm a certain type of Exalted item by going to X area. Although you can get certain dungeon modifiers and Circle of Fortune Prophecies.

[rough hinge]

I'm still levelling, and Odachi's seem to be really good for my character

I rarely find them

[scarlet kestrel]

is gifting borked? It just doesnt work at all with an item; i have 5 resonance with my gaming bud and we cant gift any item

[surreal verge]

Did you select the resonance and are you sure it's the correct item type? (Resonance has some restrictions.)

[scarlet kestrel]

we figured it out we were goiing to gift inventory instead of the interact menu

[vocal plank]

Yea, runemaster is an example of that

[woeful sequoia]

anybody having issues that you cant see dropped weapons by mobs?

[surreal verge]

Alt+z?

[vocal plank]

Filter unintentionally to strick?

Also is low life just THE way to go for late game necromancer

[solemn anchor]

Also, Alt-z can turn itself on, I have had this serveral times playing with controller and it still happens if I remove the keyboard mapping.

[surreal verge]

Not sure on controller tbh, but yeah.

[solemn anchor]

I just mean, there's no way I can accidentally (well, almost no way, hence why I removed the kb mapping) hit alt-z to turn off my labels playing on controller 😛

[vocal plank]

Check the controller bindings because it exists on they're I just don't remember what they are.
I played with it a little I think, unless I'm thinking of PoE. Either way it's worth a check

[solemn anchor]

I have no controller binding for it. The point I'm trying to make is there is a bug where your loot filter stops working just like you hit alt-z but you actually didn't.

[vocal plank]

Ah OK.
And I assume that means you've checked your filter to ensure you didn't accidentally hide something you didn't want to?

[civic wolf]

Does anyone know how many DMG makes Julras AOE ? 😄 got roughly 75k ward , maybe ill try to stay in it

[sleek ruin]

I tanked it with my rm having 40k ward even standing on its void aoe

[surreal verge]

Which AoE?

[civic wolf]

sorry mean the Void one 😄

[sleek ruin]

I can only make around 30 to 40k ward on t4 julra though even if im on 80k ward on emperor of corpses since its a sandbag boss

The void one i thnk it only ticks around 2k something? U can jsut sit on it

[surreal verge]

You mean the big giant circle one that you dodge via era swapping?

[civic wolf]

yes

[surreal verge]

Yes.

In comparison: The DoT she leaves.

[civic wolf]

ok , i really hope ward will get a nerf , feels too powerfull

[merry torrent]

from what I've been hearing it will

[stable harness]

guys, i lost my stash, gold and craft materials, how to fix this?

[desert tree]

Were you Hard-core and died?

[stable harness]

Yes

[desert tree]

Then your character moved to Softcore

[stable harness]

Sad

[desert tree]

If you create a new Hard-core character you will be able to access your stuff

[stable harness]

Thanks for info

[honest birch]

Hold the right stick down

That's toggles tje ketbind on controller

[naive pike]

I assume attack speed is weapon's base hits per second x (1 + increased attack speed)?

[desert tree]

Don't forget to factor in the base AS of your skill

[naive pike]

I assume this is also a separate multiplier?

So it's skill base speed x weapon attacks per second x (1 + increased attack speed)? I assume spells don't use weapon attack speed?

[desert tree]

Correct and correct

Spell only use Cast Speed

[desert tree]

Anyone knows if Immolator Oblation requires a Direct Use of Fire/Necrotic skill?

[surreal verge]

As far as I know, yeah.

[kindred solstice]

Hello guys, can anyone recommend Forge Guard? been playing necromancer but it is not making fun at all 😦

[surreal verge]

Forge Guard is in a pretty bad state, and for a minion build, even worse than necromancer.

[cedar locust]

Verifying your Steam files and lower some settings. We recommend loweting Grass, Shadows and Volumetric Lighting to start. Streamer mode can also help! 🙂

[uncut hearth]

What streamer mode does?

[cedar locust]

Automatically adjusts a few settings and caps fps (I think) so that Streamers aren't struggling with all the processing power needed to both run the game and stream at the same time off a single system

[craggy condor]

does this mean melee or physical or melee and physical?
in case the skill I'm using is melee but not physical

[cedar locust]

Tunklabs is good for looking up how Affixes work - https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/affix/added_melee_physical_damage

[craggy condor]

thank you!

[cedar locust]

No worries! I just found it trying to figure out the answer for you, so we both learned about this useful page!

[craggy condor]

so that would mean my melee necrotic skill would now gain additional damage from affixes that increase physical damage?

[cedar locust]

If your necrotic skill scaled with Melee then I think so - as this affix adds physical damage to melee attacks

[craggy condor]

yeah..

[cedar locust]

Though you could always ask in #💀┃acolyte, someone there might know more than me 🙂

[craggy condor]

I think that is correct, the dps reflects that

[faint cape]

Yeah, added damage always adds as long as it's the right delivery type (melee, throwing, bow, or spell)

[cedar locust]

Yeah! I'm learnding!

[desert tree]

Learnding??

[desert tree]

% Increase Physical Dmg will affect only the part of Flat Dmg that's Physical

[cedar locust]

https://tenor.com/view/ralph-wiggum-learnding-learning-simpsons-gif-9251847

[craggy condor]

wtf is beer?

[cedar locust]

Potion Easter Egg, there's one even rarer

[craggy condor]

haha thats cool

[desert tree]

👀 There is a 3rd one even rarer 👀

[tacit path]

If a teammate dies in a dungeon, can they rejoin you again? Or do they have to sit out and wait till you finish it?

Teammate seems to have trouble rejoining.

[surreal verge]

No rejoining, death=kicked out.

[tacit path]

Is that the same with DC?

[surreal verge]

Not too sure, maybe.

[jade glade]

whats the benefits of item factions?

[desert tree]

Merchand Guild (MG) allows you to trade with other players
Circle of Fortune (CoF) allows to buy prophecies to target farm more precisely your items

Also

[jade glade]

ah thank you

[trail anchor]

I haven't been around for a bit but I'm curious - have they or are they going to do anything about that massive inflation? Bazaar prices be crazy! hah

[desert tree]

Can't say for sure because I am CoF but there was a gold/item dupe bug a'd it has been fixed

I think we might see some changes for 1.1

[trail anchor]

good to know. ty for the response!

[candid elm]

They've previously stated they're aware of the inflation and while they didn't want to make changes for it mid cycle in 1.0, they would try to address it in the future

We’ve also found, in general, the Merchant’s Guild centralizing of gold leads to a fair amount of inflation all by itself, and as such, are looking into and discussing inflation control methods such as implementing a Gold Tax on transactions in 1.1. We don’t want to implement this kind of change during the current cycle as it would be a fairly fundamental change to the Bazaar and Merchant’s Guild. We’ll have more information concerning inflation counters, Tax or other, as we get closer to 1.1.

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/rmt-and-exploit-statement/70338

[trail anchor]

very cool thank you!

[tidal shell]

someone else got their minion weirdly out of position? Resummoning fixes it, but the minion teleport on travesal skill quickly bugs it again

[oblique mist]

wraithlord is getting bugged now its not eating the creeps and in this perma state

[desert tree]

@tidal shell @oblique mist try verifying yours files, if it persists after that I might be a new bug introduce in the last patch
Make sure to fill a bug report

[ocean venture]

hi, I recently finished my first campaign and monolith playthrough, reading up on how the monolith works made it sound like after completing all of the monoliths for the first time I would get prompted to empower a monolith the next time I started it. This is not happening. I'm not sure how to empower the monoliths.

[desert tree]

Have you completed the last 3?

The lvl 90 ones

[ocean venture]

yes, when I get home I will double check to make sure there wasn't something at the end that I forgot to click on to officially complete one of them but as far as I know I completed the last 3 level 90 ones

beat the bosses and everything

[desert tree]

Alright, sometimes there is a bug
You need to start an echo again
Then the island in the middle should glow. You click there and it should unlock Empowered

[ocean venture]

by start an echo again do you mean travel out to reset the echoes or just kinda open the monolith and click on the middle island if it's glowing?

[desert tree]

Not reset the Web, just open an echo (map), and complete it.

[ocean venture]

okay, I'll mess around with it and see if I can get the prompt, I'll double-check to make sure I did complete the last three as well, If I have a blessing from every monolith that should mean I completed them at least once right?

[desert tree]

Yup

[oblique swift]

uuuuhmmm what?

[storm wren]

Why i don't get the update on steam

Or this game can update automatically during it's running when the update is released?

Oh the letter. Very great.

[formal parcel]

Far as I can tell it's a very long standing bug where the first item to drop that is capitalized according to your filter will have a missing or goofy looking name. Pick it up and drop it to see how the fixed ground label should look. Also rest of the session will be fine but after restart it will happen again. At least this is my observation.

[desert tree]

@ocean venture Did you get it?

[ocean venture]

I'm at work I will try to get it when I get home tonight. I'll let you know how it goes.

[desert tree]

Okay, make sure to @ me. I am going to bed

[ocean venture]

sounds good

[brisk dock]

how rare is throne of ambition? ive killed boss about 12 time

at 200+ corruption currently

[desert tree]

Sound like bad rng

[hollow inlet]

I am still unable to add a 2nd input key on any of my shortcuts. All the game does is replace the original shortcut key. Does anyone else have this problem?

[ocean venture]

yeah man it's just straight up not working

i confirmed i've completed all the monoliths

but it just straight up won't let me empower them. . .

actually

i got it

nevermind

[idle bronze]

How are people getting experimental affixes on unique items?

[worldly spade]

You can combine an Exalted item and a Unique item using the mechanic at the end of the Temporal Sanctum dungeon. The exalted item must have 4 mods on it, and one of them can be an Experimental Affix

This mechanic will destroy the Exalted item, but randomly transfer an amount of affixes to the Unique equal to the Legendary Potential the Unique has (0-4)

This can transfer the Experimental Affix onto the Unique item

[idle bronze]

I guess I've only seen experimental affixes on experimental gear which cant be used in that system

[worldly spade]

The experimental gear you've been seeing can drop as exalted items, as long as one of the mods rolled are T6 or higher

[idle bronze]

Oh, okay

[worldly spade]

Experimental mods can also be crafted in another way, I can explain this too if you desire

[idle bronze]

with the glyphs?

[worldly spade]

Yes 🙂

[idle bronze]

Yep, got that one lol. Just such a low % chance lol

I guess it all is really

[worldly spade]

It gets better if you're not playing at a very high corruption yet. Eventually you'll drop the Rune of Research very frequently, and the Experimental mods will often be T4-6, so that will help a lot getting the Glyphs of Insight, I'd say about 25-30% chance on average if you play at 300+ corruption

At first you are craving them, before you know it you're hoarding em 🙌

[idle bronze]

Ah, I'm not far from that then. Thanks for the info. Appreciate you.

[sterile bane]

has anyone else had issues where you complete a prophecy but the item doesnt drop? i think if you die to a boss and you try to do it again youll complete it but it wont drop

[formal parcel]

One thing that comes to mind is having a DoT kill Julra while I am in the wrong time period. I noticed that I won't see prophecy progression credit in that case.

[sterile bane]

i cant be the only one that has this problem

[split tusk]

If I choose runic invocation for my mage, can I change it to meteor? or too late?

[buoyant sinew]

as in, you chose Runemaster as your mastery but want to change to Sorcerer? you can't do that, you'd have to start a new character

[split tusk]

I see. Yeah I was wanting to change to Sorcerer mastery sorry I didn't know what the word was called. But yeah thank you for the answer I appreciate it.

[storm wren]

Glad to see sorcerer fan +1 :)

[fathom dirge]

Hey trying to fight Lagon but getting destroyed im playing a Warlock. Looking for any advice or anything

[buoyant sinew]

it's quite hard to give advice for Lagon because it's mostly a "don't get hit" fight where you have to learn the moves and dodge them. Are there particular skills that he's doing that are killing you?

also how are your cold and lightning resistances?

[fathom dirge]

I learned to avoid the moon attack thing he does but then phase 2 its impossible to avoid everything and i get destroyed

lightning and cold only have 30% lol

[storm blaze]

Better work on those res

[fathom dirge]

I completely forgot about the whole resistance capped at 75. Some abilities do more damage depending on my resistance. Is the damage increase capped at 75% too?

[buoyant sinew]

res will definitely help, practice as well. Not much more to do than that unfortunately. I guess a teleport skill if you have access to one and aren't currently using it

[buoyant sinew]

things that give bonuses based on res are all using "uncapped" res, meaning they ignore the 75% cap. Pretty common for warlocks to get 500%+ necrotic res in the endgame

[fathom dirge]

Ah i see thanks anyway 🙂

Do all maps have a warp point?

[surreal verge]

Having more than 1k health would help-

[fathom dirge]

I only have 668 😅

[surreal verge]

Honestly, if you get one shot by any of his attacks that isn’t beam related, you have a defense issue.

[storm blaze]

Not all maps have a warp point, no

[fathom dirge]

How do i increase resistances I know that sounds like a dumb question. But in the past ive tried to shift resistances and then i end up just destroying the character

[storm blaze]

Have you used the forge? Can easily put in some res with that

[fathom dirge]

I think most of my stuff has no forging potential anymore :Lul:

[surreal verge]

Affixes, some passives, idols can help as well…

[oblique swift]

well it's not too big of an issue, just thought it's a funny little bug 🙂

[wide cypress]

Is it good crit chance guys?

[toxic echo]

dont equip singularity idol

[cedar locust]

Known bug! The team are aware and I have been reminded to add this to our Known Issues FAQ!

[vocal plank]

Ghostflame "Movement speed while channeling," is that added to your MS or is it seperate?

[gaunt ember]

will there be any Steam sale on Last Epoch?

[cedar locust]

Nothing has been mentioned by the team that I've seen however the next major Steam sale will be the Summer sale around end of June/Start of July and our 1.1 launch is July 9th

[acoustic thicket]

Hello! Is it profitable to play offline, cuz I don't see any reason to grind past ~ 400 + corruption with bazaar comforts and pray to rng to get teh roll I would like. I mean I will totally try it, just asking if somebody has done that and can gimme a pointer into the right direction?

[storm blaze]

What do you mean profitable?

[acoustic thicket]

I mean if it does take time to ''milk'' the game for core items or does it play smooth till End of Time? Profitable as I said maybe the wrong word, I ment rewarding.

[faint cape]

You can do all content with no issues. You may just need to be a bit pickier about which build to play, if you don't have required items for a build it's not wise to start it unless they are easily farmable. Some people prefer it this way, just personal preference.

[acoustic thicket]

Okay, so I will stick to on-line and try my best with second char. Wraithlord get's boring quickly.

[acoustic thicket]

This is mine char so far. Changed my mind, cuz I wanna grind 500 corruption and then have a look at Primalist... I got nothing to lose anyway.

[storm wren]

😍 First kill and get a full rate blessing

[candid elm]

Congrats! Later, after you've completed the 3x level 90s Monoliths and unlocked Empowered, you can get Empowered Blessings. These have a higher value range than the regular Blessings. So you can get even stronger ones!

[old grail]

Hey guys, I've spent last week or so making my own build that is focused on being a reliable fresh start and not being very gear dependant. With that being the focus I've been running the build on SCF/SAF and it's working but I've hit a brick wall and have died 3 times in a row all at the same place of lvl 75 mono lagon. Im not the best player but I know how his mechanics work and when it comes down to it, I'm not getting gear upgrades with affix that I need. Is there some efficient method for gearing at this stage? Someone's mentioned skipping lagon till after dragon timeline, but I wonder if soulfire after lvl 66 timeline would be a good option? Looking for most effective and reliable way to not loose speed of progression

With the soulfire idea the biggest issue that comes to mind is rng of key drops

[desert tree]

Do you use the Forge enough ?
Because its a big vector of progression

[old grail]

Yeah I do

I'm talking about when your looking for hybrid exalted items, +skill etc

To be able to boost defense layers up until empowered

[wide sentinel]

what exactly kills you on lagon fight?

anything that isnt his slams or beam can be ignored if your character is like lvl 60 with decent leveling items

[faint cape]

You definitely don't need exalted anything to beat regular monoliths

[wide sentinel]

you do not need any of that, untill 200 cor a decent build can easily play in full yellow items

whats likely is happening there is that u dont have right base items, cause base items+couple t5 affxiss+passives/idols cover most of base defenses needed to complete normal monos

[old grail]

So mostly your saying lagon fight is just a 1 shot go. His slams I can tank if it happens, beams aren't a problem

Guess I just need to practice more

[wide sentinel]

im confused how are u dying if you say you can even tank his slams

other attacks barely do anything, if u avoid slams and beams the only thing that hits you are waves and random lightnings

do u not have any healing/leech?

[old grail]

Slams as in his claw or the circle attack? I died last night bc I leaped on the edge of the circle aura

Yeah I have leech

[wide sentinel]

both can one shot

you need avoid claw, circle and beam

anything else shouldnt hurt u if u have some hp+cold/lightning res

[old grail]

How much HP would be recommend for that fight

[wide sentinel]

should be doable with 1000 if you avoid those 3 attacks

[twilit holly]

hey guys new player, im at monolith rn, black sun. Is this end game?

[wide sentinel]

i did it with less on some builds

[wide sentinel]

is it empowered monolith? are mobs lvl 100?

[twilit holly]

nopers

[wide sentinel]

then no

u are still in campaign

😅

[twilit holly]

not sure T_T, i dont see any cmapaign missions i just have monolith ones

[wide sentinel]

but technically you are already experiencing endgame gameplay

[wide sentinel]

you should have a quest to unlock empowered monoliths if u picked it

but its optional

[old marsh]

Hey guys, not sure if this is the right place to post this message but wanted to try a forge guard character (never played it before even though I have nearly a thousand of hour on LE lol, never appealed to me)
Any ''build'' idea in mind that would be fun to play ? Cheers

[desert tree]

Forged Weapons are fun
Shield Throw + Manifest Armor is nice too
Bleed Forge Strike aswell

[old marsh]

Thanks !

[storm wren]

👀 new moderator

[desert tree]

[vocal plank]

Nice job Vlad

[carmine mortar]

Since the patch yesterday my game is stuck on validating files? Anybody else?

[acoustic thicket]

If I have red rings from bazaar that have rank 3 can I re-equip them to another char that is in the merchant's? Or do I have to buy other rings with that other character?

[hard kelp]

Hello, is there any content in the game that requires more than 1 player to complete?

As in "forced" multiplayer in terms of missions or achievements?

[desert tree]

No

[stable cairn]

this description confuses me, how so the penetration applies after the cap?

[hard kelp]

Thanks, that's great to hear

[desert tree]

Extra resistance after 75% has no effect regarding that penetration

[buoyant sinew]

it's saying that if you have, say 200% fire resistance, the order is:

1. the cap is applied, bringing your effective res to 75%
2. penetration is applied to that 75% value, not the 200%

[stable cairn]

but all fire dmg penetrate? meaning that at an area lvl 75 your resist is 0?

[toxic echo]

Yes. This is how the game is balanced. Enemy pen also caps at 75...so even in a lvl 100 area...they only have 75pen...which cancels the 75 res. Game is balanced around 0

[stable cairn]

hmm ok ty!

also so shred is different from penetrate. shred takes into account the overcapped value?

like if your res is 80% and enemy shred 5% you still have 75%

[desert tree]

Correct

[stable cairn]

is it some kind of curse or something that can be avoided/reduced?

[buoyant sinew]

the monster penetration? no. it's just a balancing mechanism, the idea is that by giving the pen and balancing around 0 res instead of 75, the player is punished less for being slightly under the cap

it's actually a good thing for players

[stable cairn]

sorry i mean shredding

[toxic echo]

Very few things have shred in the game mob wise. Like, 4 mobs or something

And then mark of the dead too...but thats only in 3 timelines and is also fairly rare and easily avoided if wanted

[faint cape]

It's a modifier that can show up on magic/rare enemies, but you can ignore this bit. Marked for Death, shock, and poison are fairly common though and can reduce your resists. All of them can be cleansed by stuff that cleanses ailments.

[stable cairn]

ty!

[cyan wave]

the quest still isnt fixed... im basically stuck at speak to yulia in thetima

[hollow inlet]

Thank you!

[void cape]

Hey guys I have a question. So this node inside Chaos Bolts says that there is a chance to proc "Harvest". My question is, if I specialize the Harvest skill and level it up, will all of these upgrades to the Harvest skill tree be applied when Chaos Bolts procs it?

[faint cape]

Yeah, if you can specialize into a skill, it always uses your spec when you cast it

[void cape]

oh wow thats good to know then 😮 powerful too

alright thanks!

[stable cairn]

what is this glancing blow?

[toxic echo]

Exactly what it says...a chance to take reduced damage on hits

[stable cairn]

so any hits? its just like a chance to absorb hits right (my english is not so good sry)

is there a chance cap?

[native sail]

Chance caps at 100%.
As long as it's a hit glancing blow will reduce the damage of it by 35%

[split helm]

So I just hit empowered monoliths as a runemaster, and I'm getting oneshot constantly. Most monsters hit me for almost no dmg, but I die on almost every monolith from some random ohko. Does anyone have any tips on defenses for me to target/work on? I'm currently at capped resists, 100% crit avoid, 27% armor reduction, 1.1k health, and 400% ward retention (I'm typically at 2-3k ward during combat). I also have permanent -30% dmg from Reowyn's Frostguard.

[native sail]

I would definitely say try to pump your ward up. 3k as an RM is very low, medium investment should put you to like 7k at least. If not more.

[split helm]

What's the most effective way to increase it? Ward retention, ward decay threshold, or other?

[native sail]

Ward retention and then better generation of it. I'm not sure what method you're using, but Twisted Heart for example is usually very good at it on RM

Threshold is okay but I would not prioritize it/be worried about making gear choices around it

[split helm]

Thanks - I currently get most of mine from mana spent to ward conversion

I'm farming for twisted heart but dont have it yet

[native sail]

Yeah, definitely try to get that ASAP, it's probably the most efficient ward gen for a RM that isn't on a cooldown or channeling based skill

[wide sentinel]

from what you described " Most monsters hit me for almost no dmg, but I die on almost every monolith from some random ohko" the main issue is that you facetank a lot of attacks that should be avoided

2-3k ward+1k hp with CFC and flame ward is more than enough to comfortably farm emp monos

[sleek ruin]

maybe that one shot is from spitting spires? like poison, fire, etc,,yeah it will one shot u coz i thnk theres a stun dmg coupled to it

[sleek ruin]

you can get core of the mountain body if u still dont have it for extra layer of immunity

[storm wren]

This is the most disgusting enemy for my necromancer...Because...I must run carefully to avoid its nova but it just catch me :(

[fierce field]

It's normal??? Love Russian translate 😆 I need a bigger font, I can't see what's written.

[leaden pilot]

it says Davai!

xD

[fierce field]

AHAHAH

[atomic ferry]

Is Ritual Lake a random location or is it in specific monolith ?

[outer saddle]

So I just want to really play with wraithlords harbour before end of season, what's the best way for me to target farm it in the shortest time possible? I got a main in rank 4 in MG, but if COF is so much better, I don't mind levelling an alt

[cedar locust]

Known bug that's been a bit difficult to pin down, In Game Bug Reports help a lot! You can attach screenshots to those by uploading the image to imgur/gyazo/ibb and then copy/pasting the link into the in game bug reporting tool!

[fierce field]

ty

[stable cairn]

😁

[cedar locust]

Known and on the QA queue 🙂

[gusty bough]

hey

[stable cairn]

this appeared 2 times and when i click there is nothing to do there 🤔

[faint cape]

I think most echoes only generate in specific timelines. I'm not sure which ones that appears in specifically.

[faint cape]

If you ever want something really specific, trade is always the most reliable method. RNG always has a chance of just ruining your day/week/etc.

[faint cape]

That icon just lets you know you unlocked a new skill, you could equip it and/or specialize it right away, or you could just close the window.

[uncut hearth]

Hello, if I create a second character, can I choose the other guild, and keep my main character in the other? Or if I choose the other guild all my characters will go in the new one?

[pastel prairie]

Yeah second character can choose the other guild so you have one in both

[storm wren]

T7 on experimental affix is possible???? Oh man how are this guy do it...

[tight girder]

Experimental affixes can drop up to tier 7, same as with normal affixes

[uncut hearth]

can i help my friends new character unlock all the idol places fast?

[faint cape]

Yeah, if you know all the quest beats you need to hit you can teleport them through anything (mastery, faction, passives, and empowered, also).

I don't know what they are though, maybe someone has a list

[uncut hearth]

So you have to do the quest? There is no other way to gain all the idols and passives on second character?

[faint cape]

Yes, you need to do some quests. You don't need to do all of them, so if you're getting teleported by another player you can pick and choose the 8 quickest idol quests and 15 quickest passive point quests (I think there may also be some overlap in these?).

LE Tools lists the quests, but unless you can find a resource out there from someone who has done the legwork to optimize the run, you'll have to figure it out yourself (or just run some of the campaign, it doesn't take very long). https://www.lastepochtools.com/checklist/quests/idols

[uncut hearth]

thank you

[storm wren]

👀 Anyone know what the meaning of different supporter roles in this server? I wonder if there's a chance to get one of them yet

[faint cape]

It does not interact with your shadows

[candid elm]

They're from way back in kickstarter times, years and years ago https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lastepoch/last-epoch/rewards Not offered anymore.

There are other supporter packs now you can get that give you in game cosmetics. https://portal.lastepoch.com/shop There's zero pay to win stuff in Last Epoch, it's just cosmetics.

[faint cape]

The supporter roles are from Kickstarter, there is no longer any way to get them

[candid elm]

time machine : )

[compact jacinth]

thank you

[faint cape]

Finally, the Epoch's power will be mine!

[compact jacinth]

i realized the node in umbral blade tree will work tho, right? shadows drop umbral blade on expiring

even if i dont cast it myself

[faint cape]

Umbral Blades spec tree does apply to the ones thrown by your falcon, technically they are indirectly cast by you rather than your falcon

[compact jacinth]

i mean i think i found a way for my shadows to cast it (wihout having it on my bar) - with the umbral remnant skill. that will apply daggers ?

shadows drop umbral blades on expiry

[faint cape]

Yeah, it'll work with that node in umbral that makes them apply SD if you're wielding a dagger since your spec tree always applies. The extra stack of SD from aerial assault won't apply to those, just to the ones procced by your falcon.

[vocal jolt]

does the game still use adaptive damage?

[low chasm]

ON the bosses, yes

[vocal jolt]

as in the bosses adapt to us, or we adapt to the bosses?

[tight girder]

Adaptive spell damage is just called spell damage, and adapts to the damage type(s) of the spell. If that's what you mean. Bosses have adaptive damage reduction

[surreal verge]

You're going to need to be more specific.

[vocal jolt]

most of the bad reviews talk of enemies taking the same amount of hits throughout the game, making there be no difficulty

[low chasm]

Not all enemies, just bosses

[vocal jolt]

adaptive damage resistance is what theyre calling it

[low chasm]

It actually keeps the difficulty the same but to be honest I don't really notice it. You can still be OP

[surreal verge]

Enemies strength are tied to area level, which is different per area and goes up. Most of the time, you'll underlevel the area level and you'll still be stronger.

The only 'adaptive DR' is on major bosses, which you won't notice all the time. If you burst the boss too fast it'll have some temporary DR for a short while.

[vocal jolt]

so the level 1 enemies dont become level 10 when you do?

[surreal verge]

No.

[vocal jolt]

alright

[surreal verge]

Assuming you go back to the same zone.

[vocal jolt]

I just want gear to be impactful

and not just be a number

[stable cairn]

is it possible to crit a T5 mod into T6?

[icy drift]

No

[stable cairn]

so a crit never happens on a T4

[toxic echo]

You can crit on affixes other than what you are crafting on.

[stable cairn]

oh?

[toxic echo]

If you craft the t4 to t5 and crit, another affix will go up if possible

[stable cairn]

nice

otherwise its always in the same affix?

[toxic echo]

Pretty sure its rng what affix gets the crit upgrade

[stable cairn]

ah ok

[crude olive]

Do you guys and girls always finish the monoliths till the progress bar is full even if the boss has been defeated?

Or do you just open the portal as soon as it is available?

[faint cape]

Generally just open the portal as soon as it's done. I'll continue clearing a bit if I have an xp shrine or there's just really good enemy composition though.

[stable cairn]

is it possible to autocollect shards?

[sleek ruin]

no

[patent bane]

Can I post my build here and ask for tips? Especially passives. I'm really struggling on early empowered monoliths, as in dying on about 80% of them. and recently redid my passives and it helped a lot but not enough to start clearing consistently. I think I can do better but I'm not sure how. (I think I could have beaten my most recent echo but my network lagged and I died from that, lol)

[toxic echo]

you can, but you can likely get better/more specialized help down in the class channels at the bottom of the list. people are a bit more experienced there, and dont always pop up to the gen chats up here

[random perch]

how do i check Reduced Bonus Damage Taken From Crits percentage i have?

can0t find it in stats

🤔

[toxic echo]

gotta math it. not all stats are in the menu yet

its getting reworked eventually

[random perch]

ah ok

how do i math it

go over my gear and sum?

[faint cape]

Yes, the %s add together

[random perch]

ok ok

ty

[sleek ruin]

u can import ur current build to last epoch tools btw,,

[random perch]

i c

[sleek ruin]

once u import it,,u can go to defense and its there

[bleak bramble]

Anyone else having issues on infinite loading screens?

[hollow inlet]

I have been unable to log in at all as I get a LE-52 error. This last patch messed things up. I have verified all files, rebooted computer, and even re-installed the game but still can't log in.

[carmine wolf]

Does the price of stash tabs ever stop increasing or do I need to address my exalted hoarding habit

[static light]

i heard it stops at 1mil? iirc

but you definitely should consider not picking up those health on kill exalteds

[carmine wolf]

I see the purple, I collect

[static light]

oh

hopefully you don't play CoF

[carmine wolf]

....I do

[static light]

oh

[wary sierra]

is it a known issue where you can end up at different monolith after done a node? I often end up in Fall of the Outcast after I done some nodes in Last Ruin

[analog berry]

This never happened to me and i ran alot of echos. However i havent been running Last ruin alot at all, so if there is an issue it might be isolated to last ruin.

[waxen wedge]

just bought the game and was wondering if there is any point in playing online? if there is enough people playing the game online to even play with or should i just stick to playing offline? none of my friends want to buy the game.

[desert tree]

If you want to trade you will need to be online

[waxen wedge]

other than trading? i mean the endgame content, does it have matchmaking system?

[desert tree]

No

[waxen wedge]

coz i dont mind grinding for the things i need, if trading is the only thing about online, might as well play offline right?

just trying to understand the whole thing

coz i came diablo 4 which was awesome to play online

[desert tree]

Unless in "town" you won't see anyone

So online comes down to
Will you ever want to trade?
Will you ever want to party?

[waxen wedge]

ah ok thanks 😄

i play in the oce region so i doubt i would even find people to play with lol

[desert tree]

Servers are global

I am in EUW and we could play together

[waxen wedge]

i was thinking of installing nexus mods for offline play that's why i was weighing the pros and cons for online

too see if it's worth playing online or if i should stick to offline and enjoy fun mods

[desert tree]

Can't help you with mods, never used them

[waxen wedge]

nah just wondering what else online offers so i know if i should go online or offline with mods

[stable cairn]

im noticing a drop of dps as i progress campain but i dont find any better weapon. Any tips?

[toxic echo]

craft a better weapon. the likely hood of you just dropping an upgrade is very small. you might need to wait a bit to find a better base item...or get higher levels to be able to put more affixes on. but generally its just waiting for the next best base

[stable cairn]

should i give any attention to normal or magic items?

[toxic echo]

never normals. almost never magics, unless the affixes are high level. its more dependant on the affixes, than the rarity of the item

[stable cairn]

since the first dungeon i did (and failed xD) this thing appear when i press D. Is that correct?

[supple linden]

Looks like you're bugged, it will go away if you relog.

[native sail]

That's a bug. Sometimes dungeon things (visuals, tooltips, that specific ability) get left over after you leave.

[gusty bough]

hey

[old marsh]

Hey, does anyone know what is Torment exact scaling? I'm a bit lost concerning whether I should prioritise flat spell damage or damage over time (plus curse damage)

[surreal verge]

Hold alt over fissure, it should tell you the damage effectiveness.

[old marsh]

Yeah, the problem is I don't understand if the "added damage" is damage over time or flat spell damage

[surreal verge]

Total.
So if you add +10 flat spell damage to torment, it does (10 x damage effectiveness) extra damage total across whatever duration it is.

[ebon pewter]

I'm having an issue when i start the game online, i'm being stuck in loading screen any1 have the same issue ?

[old marsh]

Okay so I suppose stacking flat spell damage is way better than damage over time for Torment, damage wise

Am I right?

[surreal verge]

You'll want both, but yes on paper.

[old marsh]

Okay, thanks

[faint cape]

Yeah, need both since they multiply each others' effects, then you'll want other stuff that stacks multiplicatively with both of those, like any "more" multi, penetration, etc.

[old marsh]

Yeah, wanted to play the staff using soulfeast and torment pen

[faint cape]

Oh yeah, that one is a lot of fun. All the stuff in Cthonic Fissure's spec tree that specifically mentions Torment applies to the staff's Torment, too, btw

notably, the one that gives it more damage scaled by your necro res

[old marsh]

Can't wait to test it out 🙂

[stable cairn]

how long it takes to complete campain?

[desert tree]

Depends how fast you are
I usually get all my idols and passives in about 5-6 hours

[stable cairn]

it's my first campaign; is there something that shows my progression? (where i am, how much to complete, etc)

cause idk where i am and idk how long it will take

[wide sentinel]

i mean dont you see a quest bar on your right?

[stable cairn]

this?

[wide sentinel]

yep

[stable cairn]

im about to finish i guess?

just noticed this now

[wide sentinel]

nah you are only in ch8, ch9 is last one

so plenty to go

[stable cairn]

t.t

[wide sentinel]

notes for the future...you dont need to do anything past ch5 btw

if you know the game well

[stable cairn]

wdym

[wide sentinel]

i never did ch6 or u or 8 in past 2 years

i go to monoliths at chapter 5

then after getting julra dungeon key jump to act 9 and finish last quest for +1 all att

[native sail]

Chapters 6 through 8 are a psyop

[wide sentinel]

actually i never even finished ch5

😅

[stable cairn]

but dont you need to get all passives and idols slot?

[wide sentinel]

you get that from ch 1-5 and 3 quests in ch 9

[stable cairn]

hmm

[wide sentinel]

also ngl idk how u are not maxed out on that when you are in ch8

[desert tree]

Is that the fastest way ?

[wide sentinel]

i think there is faster way with some weird dungeon skips, so using all dungeons but u need twinked gear/keys and then also calculate all needed quests

so its more of a pain in the a

never bothered with it

not sure even if you can do that on all clases cause LA is easy lvl 20 but fightning lich or julra on lvl 25-30 lol not all builds can do that even in twinked gear

[stable cairn]

missed a quest in ch5

[green chasm]

is any1 else in SE servers experiencing bad ping?

[acoustic thicket]

Does anyone know what armor this is

The chest armor

Its very hard to tell

[wide sentinel]

looks like the top tier sentinel base

[acoustic thicket]

I thought it could be Vul'kaur Regalia

[acoustic thicket]

What exactly is that

I only got like 50 hours im still figuring stuff out

[wide sentinel]

that is mage armor, the picture is of a paladin

champions regalia is the base

[acoustic thicket]

Ohhh really?

Interesting

So where can I find the Champion Regalia

Is it just like a random thing

[acoustic thicket]

A little bit earlier

[green chasm]

i couldnt play the game at all

will recheck in a bit. tx

[acoustic thicket]

Also what exactly is ward

[wide sentinel]

are u sentinel?

[acoustic thicket]

Mhm

[wide sentinel]

then just play the game its like lvl 80+ base

[acoustic thicket]

Icic alright

[acoustic thicket]

^

I see a lot of people generate it while fighting but I havent been generating more than like 20 ward

Idek what it does, i've been just fine

I do a ton of damage with this build I made plus I regen a ton of health so I pretty much never die

I do think knowing what ward is would be useful though

What im working with atm

[buoyant sinew]

ward is like a second health bar, when you take damage you lose ward before losing health. There's no such thing as maximum ward, instead it just drains constantly, and the more ward you have the faster it drains. Ward retention makes it drain more slowly

[sullen ruin]

is anyone else having major disconnect issues anytime they try to travel

[acoustic thicket]

I see

Thats what I assumed

Im not generating any but im not rly dying either

In in area where enemies are doing like 400 ish damage per hit but I can out heal that

I'll probably need ward eventually

[buoyant sinew]

in theory ward is an option to invest into, you can be fine on just health. In practice ward is currently very overpowered and most of the strongest builds use it. It's getting nerfed in 1.1 (we don't know the details yet)

[acoustic thicket]

Icic

[acoustic thicket]

Ty for the explanation man

[stable cairn]

i have a double mace 😁

or axemace xd

[acoustic thicket]

Lol is that some kinda glitch

[stable cairn]

i removed my mace and it's still there

xd

[acoustic thicket]

Interesting

[outer ice]

sorry, i didn't know that was against the rules

[acoustic thicket]

Is it okay to post single player screenshots of legacy diablo offline play? In the offtopic channel?

[wide sentinel]

why not 🤔

[acoustic thicket]

I dunno, I am free person, just asking for okay since I dont want to promote?

[acoustic thicket]

Oki.

[barren osprey]

does anyone have adorned immortal idols i need for my build idk where to ask this at XD

[stable cairn]

what is this rank thing?

[toxic echo]

the rank required in COF to use it

[stable cairn]

oh

ty

[acoustic thicket]

This be fun.

[pearl meadow]

having trouble unlocking empowered monos, completed all three zones and walked the paths. the center still isnt able to be interacted with

any ideas?

[worldly spade]

hiya, there's a bug sometimes I think where the middle of the three islands here isn't activating to unlock empowered monoliths

as far as I know, a common fix is to start an echo again and try again

[rough hinge]

Is your stash shared amongst all characters ?

[candid elm]

Within the same game mode, yes. For example, all characters in Online Cycle share a stash - as long as you don't turn on a challenge mode like Solo Character Found or Hardcore. And all characters in Online Legacy share a stash, etc.

[rough hinge]

Thanks!

[pearl meadow]

bingo thanks

[rough hinge]

Any ideas why I can't open Soulfire Bastoin ?

I have a key

Nothing happens when I click "Enter"

[worldly spade]

Put the key in the slot

[candid elm]

Put the key in the box : )

[rough hinge]

Seriously!

Come on

thanks

[worldly spade]

we've all been there

[proud prawn]

Dungeon is bugged guys, i cant enter

[acoustic thicket]

Look at all them buffs

Im only level 56 and im doing hella dmg

Found this weird ability

[acoustic thicket]

Why can't I hold all them buffs.jpg

[storm wren]

I suppose we're on the same startingline again

But this time we run different characters so build is different for sure

It's annoying that #💬┃general not allow to post pictures...I don't want to floor in this channel by non relevant topics so much but I has no choice

[acoustic thicket]

Hay

I run 100 corruptions with level 84, I guess?

Farming blessings and I am under gear to the max.

Nova & Frost is what it's about...

[storm wren]

Yeah I guess it'll my case too although I don't finish all lv.90 monoliths

[acoustic thicket]

I died. Lel.

[storm wren]

Lightning is my new power!

[acoustic thicket]

Them 800 hp, how to increase? : (

[storm wren]

Holy crow that belt! Unfortunately I need a belt which increase my ligthning damage so I can't change it. Idols. I learnt a lesson from necromancer is try your best to increase the health and idols is the best way.

[acoustic thicket]

Meh, I took the eazy route. Went to Bazaar, and re-equipped my Necro items.

[storm wren]

❔ Alright I discover a odd bug is I always teleport from the last ruin to fall of the outcasts after i cleared an echo in the last ruin...

[storm wren]

I wonder can my sorcerer kill t3 Julra lol I guess it's a bit too hurry up

[acoustic thicket]

Look wat I found... I think it's max?

[acoustic thicket]

Guys, do I need to do anything with this, so it gets transfered into 3LP Box of Hydrae? Something else than luck?

[surreal verge]

Make it the best version you can, otherwise it's luck.

[acoustic thicket]

I mean if I get everything except the Frost Claw, then bad luck...

I got 3 LP Hydrae, will try it anyways, what's the matter... Thanks!

[acoustic thicket]

: ) )

[acoustic thicket]

It's bootiful, issn't it?!

[surreal verge]

That endu threshold makes me sad you didn't craft it away, but it's otherwise pretty good.

[acoustic thicket]

How do I craft away things?

[surreal verge]

Errr, have you never used the forge?

[acoustic thicket]

Ye, but what I have to do? To exclude mods?

Pretty new to the game still.

[surreal verge]

Two options:
Rune of Removal, and pray to RNG, the unsafe method.
Glyph of Chaos and 'upgrade' it to another affix, the safe method.

I recommend learning crafting to a basic level since it'll most likely your main method to get item upgrades.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1HvZ76peUs

[acoustic thicket]

I know basics, just did not know how to exclude mods. Thank you very much!

[surreal verge]

[random perch]

what does elemental resistances include? fire lightning cold?

[storm wren]

yeah

[random perch]

ty

[storm wren]

I has this one but useless for me unfortunately :( Why lots of items is benefit to runemaster only in mage's camp :(

[acoustic thicket]

I must think over about how to use experimental items, since I failcrafted my gloves, but when I seal a 12% over a 7% it's a big upgrade.

Or I read more, and comprehend and start to play the game. The video you sent me is solid, very solid basis.

[storm wren]

🙃 Stick on how to kill the emperor of corpse now...My speed of reducing his health is prettttttty slow...

714% increasing lightning damage looks nothing

Just 60% increase enemy health and it's extreme hard really

[storm wren]

Cost 15 min to kill the dragon is really crazy. Hah very tired

[toxic echo]

do not ping EHG staff, nor ping mods and CM's for a basic game question

if you think you found a bug, report it. if the search bar doesnt work report it

[swift fern]

how i can report it?

[desert tree]

Either #1210281997591908452 or directly in game

[acoustic thicket]

I lost the reroll, but I gained critical forge HP. I dont use Poisons... but whatever still nice Ammy.

[stable cairn]

i wonder what could be giving me -2% here 🤔

[random perch]

mediocre at best

[acoustic thicket]

Thanks for the crafting video, this was my first item I crafted.

[surreal verge]

Your weapon base has an attack rate which TECHNICALLY is an attack speed modifier.

[stable cairn]

do i have to do something to get the "bonus stability" from an Echo, or it is just part of the reward?

[storm blaze]

You get the bonus stability as you kill more monsters

But you'll get it automatically when you leave the echo

[spiral peak]

for legendary potential items, if i have with 2, do i need to find an exalted items with 2 exalted traits?

[storm blaze]

The exalted item has to have 4 unsealed affixes
and then 2 of those are picked randomly
needs only 1 exalted affix

[spiral peak]

if the unique item and the exalted somehow have the same traits, can it still be added (something like lightning damage)

[storm blaze]

Yes

[acoustic thicket]

@storm wren Here, this is my daily reward:

[storm wren]

Going to wash Orobyss for the first time. Let me see how long it take me to wash from exist to disappear 👀

[acoustic thicket]

Now you know why I play Wraithlord again...

You will know in 2-3 minutes.

[storm wren]

hahaha you're right

[acoustic thicket]

Ye, but nobody believes me.

I am just nobody, saying stuff

[storm wren]

Don't want to play back my necromancer to be honest...She moves too slowly.......Sigh

[acoustic thicket]

I can show you what you can become o.o

Give 15 minutes!

[patent bane]

Why do some items require Circle of Fortune rank such-and-such and others don't? I want to ascend some stuff but the items I find keep not having rank. I don't know why this is, but I do want them to have rank so I can benefit from the tier 2 bonus.

[surreal verge]

THey only gain that requirement if they were dropped because of CoF effects.

[patent bane]

Huh. Apparently only a very few items have that.

[uncut hearth]

How pushing corruption with 2 players work? Do we do it seperately? Can we work together to increase corruption? Because when we did an echo reset, only one of us increased corruption

[random perch]

you can't push corruption with 2, only gives it to the party leader

awful multiplayer mechanic

[uncut hearth]

So we get punish for playing together?

[random perch]

yep...

i wish i could play with my friends, but solo is way more rewarding

[uncut hearth]

is there any plans to change this?

[random perch]

i hope so! i have no idea

[hollow pebble]

Hei, is there a specific quest to unlock the faction? I skipped act with dungeons and now i can't use/unlock the faction system xD

[random perch]

@hollow pebble yea if it's your first toon, the side quest is called "Merchants and Fortune Tellers" in act 9, the city in the desert called Maj'elka. On subsequent toons, you can claim faction in the first town.

[hollow pebble]

@random perch thanks 😉 you mean in Divine era?

[random perch]

sorry i don't remember which era, don't play anymore just waiting for next cycle

[hollow pebble]

Okay^^ it's my second char but as you said in first town this isn't working for me .. but thanks for helping

[random perch]

well you never completed the quest on your first then

[fading patio]

Do specd skills gain exp by using them more or just by gain exp in general?

[stable cairn]

when i press ctrl on a ring only one ring is compared, is this correct? i mean, shouldnt it show both rings comparison

[surreal verge]

Gaining xp in general.

[surreal verge]

Correct, devs plan to fix this.

[glossy onyx]

is there an estimated time for the next cycle?

[fading patio]

@surreal verge ty very much

[vocal monolith]

can you rune of asend for a mad alchemist ladle?

[surreal verge]

No. That's not a random drop.

[vocal monolith]

what is the best support class / spec?

[outer ice]

I hope this question isn't against the rules... Will offline Cycle characters ge the new content at the same time as online Cycle characters? I saw something at one point about staggered releases.

[surreal verge]

FOr cycle, yes.

[surreal verge]

The closest are: Paladin and Druid.
Both can also be built to support dps and also delete things.

[desert tree]

No

[desert tree]

Paladin Druid Runemaster

[desert tree]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1238567523981594655

[vocal monolith]

druid or shaman for support?

[desert tree]

Druid

Entangling Roots and Warcry are super strong

[vocal monolith]

oh really?

[desert tree]

You need to support a caster though

ER gives 40 Flat Spell

[vocal monolith]

my duo partner is a void knight

[desert tree]

Warcry 250% Cold Dmg, Healing, Crit Chance

[surreal verge]

Are they playing spell Void Knight, Throwing Void Knight or Melee Void Knight?

[vocal monolith]

Mostly melee spinning 2 win

think he might try other stuff tho

[desert tree]

Well a Druid support might not be the best combo then

Paladin offer more generic buffs

[vocal monolith]

would erasing strike be better?

[desert tree]

And a ton of Ward

[desert tree]

Thats still mainly Melee

[vocal monolith]

ahh

we are kinda casual I guess

[desert tree]

Its okay

[vocal monolith]

Just trying to get a decent mix to make him feel like its making a difference

[desert tree]

Paladin got generic Dmg
Runemaster can get a bunch of ward

[surreal verge]

It's still better in theory to just also do your own damage.

Or at least run both support and damage.

[vocal monolith]

we might have others join us

yeah il do dmg and support

so druid?

[surreal verge]

All 3 can do that, it's just a matter of what kind you want to do.

[vocal monolith]

does arena power level still work?

[desert tree]

I think it got nerfed when they changed the Adaptive Xp Lvl

[vocal monolith]

ahh oki

[acoustic thicket]

Sry I do not see any other channel, but this is for @storm wren , please excuse my fetish for screenshots o/

[twilit carbon]

Game keeps crashing and crashing. This never happened before. Like every 10-15 of play time. Happed like 8 times by now. On US East. I can’t read the pop up window in time. I can’t tell what’s happening.

[carmine wolf]

So... seemingly obvious question, but forging potential is always going to be the limit for refining my found gear, right? No way to jack it up?

[buoyant sinew]

right. you can get items dropping with more forging potential (exalted items can go into the 50-60 territory) but there's no way to add FP to an item. you just have to manage it carefully and pray

[carmine wolf]

Glyph of hope mandatory for forging, got it.

[buoyant sinew]

yes, unless you're using another glyph. they're plentiful enough to use all the time

but also things like, higher tiers of affix consume more FP on average so it can be beneficial to cycle upgrading your affixes rather than spamming one to 5 then the next to 5

[carmine wolf]

Hm... might consider that when refining my throwaway leveling gear

[stable cairn]

are there uniques that are randomly generated or they are all added by hand?

[carmine wolf]

Both. Some of them have stat ranges, but the effects themselves are static

[native sail]

Uhm. Not sure if that is what they mean. All uniques always have the same affixes on them, the values of some of the affixes may differ though.
The phrasing "randomly generated" makes it sound like they're asking if there's any that aren't like, made by the devs. In which case the answer is no.

[stable cairn]

oh thats what i meant ty

Q. My healing hands dont show any DPS value, even tho i converted it to melee atack. Is that a bug?

[native sail]

Probably. There's a lot of bugs tbh, especially with Healing Hands.

[wide sentinel]

forget about dps tooltip in this game, for your own good

[stable cairn]

oh no...

[wide sentinel]

yep...

the amount of skills where dps tooltip is accurate is...

zero

[stable cairn]

lol
