[icy drift]

highly depends, do you need the resistances? how important are the additional points in hail of arrows, are you scaling dodge? are you scaling armour?

This is usually something only you can decide unless someone knows your build inside and out

[storm wren]

And I has no idea why increased 128% physical damage is worse than plus 75 flat bow damage

[icy drift]

flat is usually a whole lot more potent than increased

plus the left bow has crit multi which is great

the left bow is gonna be almost always better

[storm wren]

You asks a good question. I has no idea when should marksman be careful on dodge rating and armor more than damage...Although I suppose damage always more important than both of them lol

[icy drift]

The only instance the right bow might be a tiny bit better is if you need tons of attack speed, which i assume you don't since you're a hail of arrows build

Since the base attack rate on it is quite a bit better

[storm wren]

I use this build

[icy drift]

I'd just go to the dummies by the arena and swap between the two armour pieces, check your stat sheet (c) and compare them

the right body armour is clearly more tanky, but the left one would provide a good damage boost

However, if you need the resistances that the left one is giving you and cant make up for it with other gear or idols you'll be in a worse spot overall with the left one, since not having capped resistances makes you lose quite a bit of ehp against that type of damage

as you can see you need to answer a ton of questions for anyone to be able to tell 😛

[storm wren]

I guess the core is if I need more chance to receive glancing blow? Just notice that affix only work when it match with this quiver

[icy drift]

oh wait you're not using hail of arrows?

if you're not using hail of arrows the left body armor sucks

use the right one

[storm wren]

😆 The reason which I wear the left one is I don't find another better armor and that armor can bonus bow damage and dodge rating

[icy drift]

113% increased isn't all that much, you'll be fine as long as you're crit capped without it

[storm wren]

It's the enemy I hate the most definitely. Always target me to shot meteor and I can't stand :(

And another enemies are mixed with them as the group to attack me so hard to kill them at first 😅

Ok I'm back to figure out that classic question hahaha
The question is which one is more important on increasing damage, status or special affix.

The last time is intelligence VS minion necrotic damage, and dexterity VS physical damage now.

[storm wren]

I feel 90% physical damage + 49% critical strike chance is very close to 16 dexterity bonus

Not a big difference but more dexterity mean more dodge rating

Both of them can up to 10K+ dps

[candid elm]

You can check out the scaling on the skills. Multishot and Flurry get 4% damage increase per Dexterity point. So 16 dex is 64% inc damage for those. And yeah, you'd also get the dodge from it.

Sometimes the skills have additional scaling from passives. Example Multishot has Maj'Elkan Grasp that gives increased Slow and Bleed duration from dex. And Flurry has Stolen Endurance that gives increased healing from dex.

[lethal hare]

I’m still confused on the flat vs damage. Especially when comes down to elemental melee attacks. I have a +85 melee lighting damage 2h sword exalted vs 300% increased lightning damage 2h sword exalted. The math just don’t seem right at all.

[surreal verge]

Here's the damage formula:
(Skill's base damage + [flat increases x Skill's Damage Effectiveness]) x ( all % increases)% x (% more)% x (% more...)%

So flat will be boosted by %increases of it's related type.

[desert tree]

You forgot Added Dmg Effectiveness

[surreal verge]

Fixed, i think

[desert tree]

Usually you don't want Increased Dmg on your weapon. You can get it from other sources.
You would rather have AS, Melee Crit or Flat Dmg

Because thoses are harder to come by

[wide sentinel]

why elemental melee attacks? is there something special about them?

[desert tree]

Misha, are you still testing starters?

[wraith iris]

Is it just me or can't we do cycle characters? Im stuck after hitting the start new character..

Also, Im trying to make a online character.

[toxic echo]

do you happen to have nord vpn? thats where that one gets stuck all the time

[wraith iris]

Ahh, I do. 😮

[toxic echo]

nord and LE dont play well together. shut nord off and you should be fine

[wraith iris]

Thanks ❤️

Would you know, the matter is resolved!

[wide sentinel]

na, i tested some druid setups and satisfied for now

waiting for patchnotes

[gusty path]

Is there a quick reference guide for seeing which stats come on which item slots? Like if I want "Reduced Damage from Crits" is there a way to know, ok it ONLY comes on Necklace and rings, etc. I just want to make sure I prio certain stats on certain items

[quasi hatch]

In-game, you can check your shards from Inventory and it'll tell you what equipment you can use the shard on, otherwise LETools: https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/suffixes/AOwRgrEA

[gusty path]

Thanks, didnt even think to look at the ingame mats and see what they say.

[lethal hare]

I had a spellblade build in mind, but going over some numbers and watching YouTube content creators I think I’m going in a different direction all together

[void cape]

how do you know what nodes are "global buffs" inside a skill tree? for example this one. Sorry for the noob question.

[surreal verge]

None of them are, unless it says 'buff' like this one.

[void cape]

thanks!

[surreal verge]

Skill nodes 90% of the time are only applied to the skill they're in.

[void cape]

correct, gotcha.. just found it confusing when youtubers say like "oh yeah and this is a global buff.. blah blah blah" and im like wtf?

but thanks for clarifying

[gusty path]

Any way to see your current bonus stats in a timeline? LIke each Echo you do gives +X% exp and +X% item rarity. I want to see what my cumulative bonuses are

[candid elm]

It should be listed on the echo web map. I pulled this example from Google image search. It'll add the bonus from Corruption to the echo bonus and give you a total

[gusty path]

Hmm doesnt seem to be working if that is the case. Ive done 12 echoes, all with + XP and item rarity and here is my screen shot

[surreal verge]

Well yeah, because you only have one modifier.

Both the enemy modifier and the player modifier have a echo timer.

[gusty path]

maybe I am not understanding, arent they supposed to stack?

[surreal verge]

They do, but they only last for X echoes.

[gusty path]

ohhhhhhhhh is that the little number in the bottom of the modifiers?

[surreal verge]

In your case, the chill on hit will only stay for the next echo (See the '1' inside the icon)

Yeah

[gusty path]

So how in the F are ppl getting 300%+??? that makes zero sense

[surreal verge]

Corruption.

[gusty path]

guess i havent seen that yet

[surreal verge]

If you're not in empowered, don't worry about it.

Go unlock empowered first.

[gusty path]

All i have left is Spirits of Fire and then all timelines are complete

[surreal verge]

Good luck!

[candid elm]

Once you do the 3x level 90s timelines, you can unlock Empowered. That starts with a base of 100 Corruption and no cap.
https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1230500212338982994

[gusty path]

hmm ok, what does corruption do?

[desert tree]

Enemies have More Hp and Dmg
Echoes Modifiers are stronger and last longer

[candid elm]

Corruption can affect drop rates for loot as well as LP chances, among other things. Here is a list of everything affected by Corruption Level:

• Slightly increases LP and Weaver’s Will chance
• Prophecies are affected by corruption for LP chance
• Loot dropped by the Shade can have a minimum required Corruption level
• Item rarity increases
• Experience gained increases
• Monster HP and Damage is increased
• Timeline Stability earned from Echoes increases
• Increases area level in Standard Timelines
• Increases rarity of guaranteed echo rewards in Empowered Timelines

From https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1230512581068849253

[gusty path]

Is it more efficient to burn through echoes straight to the OBJ or fully clear them for stabillity bonus? Ive just been rushing the OBJ

[surreal verge]

It's also the true test of your build.

[surreal verge]

Rushing.

[candid elm]

You can choose how hard you want to make the Monoliths by increasing Corruption. If it gets too hard, you can choose to lower it.

[candid elm]

Yeah rush. I'd only stick around if you're playing CoF and that echo has a lot of enemies for a prophecy you're completing

[gusty path]

Do the 3s not indicate how many echoes they last for?

[storm blaze]

yes

[gusty path]

just completed that Echo and my modifiers show they are only good for 1 more echo

[surreal verge]

They're tied to the enemy modifier, so the ones listed in player modifiers are the total.

And there's no number.

[gusty path]

So in my current situation, I have +12% and +8% for 2 more echoes as well as the enemies have +30% END for those echoes

[wide sentinel]

nice

[candid elm]

Well as soon as you pick another echo, you'll get those echo modifiers also added on. The ones listed in the lower right when you click on the echoes.

Yes, if you're doing an echo that doesn't give more echo modifiers. Such as the Beacon ones.

[wheat gate]

if I want to make a legendary weapon, how similar does the exalted weapon need to be? is 1h/2h enough, or does it need to make axe/spear/sword etc?

[gusty path]

has to be the same type u want

[desert tree]

1h sword with 1h sword

Doesn't need to be the same sword though (ie doesn't need to be katana and katana)

[wheat gate]

okay, has to match both handedness and type. good to know! thanks~!

[heady thicket]

When the new season will start?

[buoyant sinew]

July 9. #news message

[wild matrix]

Is there a good breakdown of what to expect in July?

[toxic echo]

No. Nothing is set in stone except the bosses that are coming

The roadmap in #news is all you have to go off of

And w.e teasers are shown by mike on dev streams

The actual details are constantly being tested and tweaked up until a few days before when actual patch notes drop

[wheat gate]

if I have an exalted relic that is rogue only, could i transfer that to a unique relic for use by an acolyte?

[acoustic thicket]

Is there a way to make loot colors a bit more pronounced, having trouble seeing this at a glance on my screen

[supple dagger]

hi can anyone explain "Sky Chacer" lets say i have 100 throw att speed with 1 point at 75% how does it affter the time, i beleive is 10s cdr

afect*

[toxic echo]

nothing ingame as of yet. there have been plenty of accessability things asked for that are being worked on

[candid elm]

Yeah, Feather Knives has a 10 second cooldown. https://www.lastepochtools.com/skills/feather_knives
The math on increased cooldown recovery speed is something like: Adjusted CD = Original CD / (1 + increased cooldown recovery speed %)
So if you had 100 Throwing Attack Speed and 1 point in Sky Chaser, you'd have +75% increased cooldown recovery speed or +0.75.
+75% increased cooldown recovery speed, it would be 10s / (1 + 0.75) = 5.71s
+100% increased cooldown recovery speed, it would be 10s / (1 + 1) = 5s, so halved.
+150% would be 4s.
+200% would be 3.33s, etc.

Someone please correct me if I'm remembering the math on this incorrectly

[faint cape]

Just to clear up any uncertainty, yes this math is right

[candid elm]

Basically it takes more to further decrease the CD

[ivory nexus]

[south dagger]

has there been any major updates to LE in these past few months? i hit like lvl 93 or 95 n and stopped playing since looking to jump back in but i wanna know if there is new stuff or if i just keep pushing corruption

[storm blaze]

New stuff isn't added mid cycle
New cycle coming with 1.1 on 9th of july

[supple linden]

Has there been any more word on how they are tweaking corruption in 1.1? I saw they mentioned better multiple experiences with building corruption.

And that they had some plan with the grind when it came to alts.

[surreal verge]

Nothing stated.

[wide sentinel]

we know they will nerf all 1k+ cor builds

other than that nothing known

[surreal verge]

It would be funnier if they just super buffed corruption difficulty so builds that could hit 1k can only hit the new 300

🤣

[wide sentinel]

that would be nice

[gusty path]

does crit strike chance on idols not work? I can take a +13% on and off and my stat does not change

[wide sentinel]

because this is not 13% flat added crit chance

[gusty path]

yea i just saw that. Seems kinda useless on idols

[wide sentinel]

if you have only base 5% sure

[faint cape]

iirc, they said they aren't changing corruption scaling (significantly?)

[dire flower]

Is there any possibility to filter items by cof/merchant level?

No, can't do it

[candid elm]

Post over in #1210282176680169562 that you'd like for that to be added : )

[shy frost]

Can we get more then 999 stacks of ignite or is 999 max we can get?

[faint cape]

There's no max stacks for ignite (it should say "999+")

[dire flower]

Only mods can post there right? As I understand you have to write it in the forums (have only provided feedback on bugs via ingame report button so far)?

[candid elm]

There's different categories you can post in

[dire flower]

Ah I got it now, the posts are just the categories, thanks

[candid elm]

Yeah, just the mods can make new categories

[jovial knot]

is this an ok behaviour for hp regen?

[sleek phoenix]

Hello, checking back after a gaming hiatus... Has the lag been fixed for abilities like detonating arrow traps? When I played last I had to abandon that character because it laugged due to the ability targeting multiple mobs at once several times per second.

[desert tree]

Haven't read anything about that but maybe I missed it

[toxic echo]

the only real way to know if you are still having issues with it...is to test it yourself

[sleek phoenix]

Unfortunately it isn't a "me" issue. I tested it offline, 0 lag. Online, tons of lag. Friend also tried the build, tons of lag. Thank you for your "you" comment. Wording is important.

[wide sentinel]

thats just bad pc

[wide sentinel]

that sounds new, nobody reported that

and we do have a lot of people playing that build

[sleek phoenix]

Nah, google it. My PC doesn't stutter from 144fps unless I use that specific skill, and only online. My friend, running on a 1080p with a 3090 also had that issue "online only".

This is why people hate the last epoch discord community. Unable to accept if there are issues.

[wide sentinel]

what kind of lag are u below 30 fps while using it?

or it just drops to 60 or so

[sleek phoenix]

Yes, it will drop below 30. Down to the 10s.

[wide sentinel]

well that does sound like specific specs issues im playing on old gaming laptop wth 1660ti and i have 40 fps stable on jelkor DA build

while you drop to 10 on a better pc

🤔

[sleek phoenix]

Not a spec issue, unless it's a specific piece of hardware that multiple people have causing the issue.

[wide sentinel]

not sure if that was fixed at least it wasnt stated explicitely in any patch notes

[sleek phoenix]

0 lag in games like PoE, D4, warzone, helldivers. Only last epoch.

[toxic echo]

not every single bug on every single possible combination makes it into patch notes. hence the, go check if you are still having the issue

[wide sentinel]

^

basically

[sleek phoenix]

Irrelevant at this point. I'm turned off the game again without reinstalling it. Have a good one folks.

[wide sentinel]

pce out

lmfao

obnoxious people

[storm blaze]

Some people just want to try stir poop

[toxic echo]

why bother asking then?

[storm blaze]

Strangely enough not the first person I've seen coming & asking about something like that
but then refuse to test it and just go "I'm not gonna reinstall, bye"

[surreal verge]

Maybe next time we should just say that it was fixed and let them find out.

[wide sentinel]

👍

good plan

[dusky crater]

hey guys, i bought this game straight from the last epoch store, then I got drafted a while back, and now that i came back i see my account does not exist any more since they migrated to steam, can any guide me through how to troubleshoot this or i lost my money and thats just about it ?

[surreal verge]

You'll most likely need to e-mail support with proof for help.

[toxic echo]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/migration-to-steam/52234

try this, its the migration link forum post, should still work.

if it doesnt, then yes, reach out to support

[dusky crater]

okey thanks

[idle wave]

I did lightless arbor last night with a friend and she didn't get the rewards I paid for and wasn't able to pay for her own as only one person was allowed to talk to the door.... does anyone know how it's supposed to work and what rewards the non-paying person gets since apparently they don't get them all?

[toxic echo]

one key for the door for a party is intended. they should get rewards as long as they didnt die tho, afaik

[idle wave]

I supplied the key, then at the end I paid for the door. She didn't die, not even during the boss fight.

she got several of the rewards but zero uniques, and one of the things I paid for was specifically "this chest has one unique"

[toxic echo]

she went into the same vault as you and got different rewards?

[idle wave]

yeah, she even shared screen and disabled filter to make sure we weren't missing anything

I guess it's possible I failed at reading comprehension and it was higher chance of unique instead of guaranteed and I succeeded on the RNG and she failed. it WAS late at night

[toxic echo]

its possible...afaik they should be able to get everything you do. though i thought the vault door was instanced per person as well, like mob drops

[idle wave]

nope, first player to click it is in charge of paying

I learned that on another run where I offered to pay but another player clicked it and wasn't able to cancel out and let me do it

[faint cape]

Only one person can spend gold in the vaults per run. The person that spends gets the rewards like normal, and all other players just get a small bit of the rewards from each chest.

[lucid shell]

can anyone help me level please

[sterile bane]

Getting close to t10 COF

[static acorn]

I am duoing the game with a friend and we are both CoF, they can not play as often/much as I can and I want to farm some items for them, I am CoF 5 they are CoF 4.

My question is, If I continue to farm gear for them, Will my drops eventually be locked behind higher CoF faction levels? (I am specifically trying to farm a staff they want for their build that is a unique)

[storm blaze]

If the staff drops because of CoF bonuses, yes it could happen.
Also better hope for resonance drops if you get it while they're not playing

[static acorn]

I see.. ok thanks

[surreal verge]

Cof’s faction locks need rank 5 at worse, so it isn’t that bad

[static acorn]

ah okay, they more or less cap at 5?

[surreal verge]

Yup

[tranquil estuary]

Hi,

I've got to the Lagon fight in the story (chapter 8?) at around level 53 - After getting slapped a few times, I looked up some guides which say I should have resistances capped...i've forged my current gear but it kinda sucks (20-30% resistances).
As i've only done the story thus far, what's the best way to farm better gear / forge materials / levels ?

[toxic echo]

capping gear in campaign is near impossible due to affix restrictions based on level. you wont really be totally capped until you start getting blessings and such. for lagon, you really need phys, cold, and lightning as high as possible. and a good pool of hp and/or ward

[tranquil estuary]

Thanks

[dire flower]

Is it normal that environment effects like siege spires don't damage enemies? It doesn't really make sense, especially not for encounters like mages

[oblique vale]

that's normal

[faint cape]

The spires are enemies, they just shoot from reeeeally far off

And yeah they don't take damage from the map hazards in stuff like arena, either, probably just for balance reasons.

[fleet gull]

Hi, does "healing shields" also heals me or only allies?

[dire flower]

I would maybe understand it for the same faction, but for mages it makes 0 sense. I would also love to have normal mobs take damage from the huge machineries in boss fights, but that's probably too soulslike in style. I hope an ARPG adapts aoe damage for all at some point.
Thanks for your explanation!

[idle wave]

Hi all! So I've tried a ton of builds and watched all the trending videos and I'm curious to ask actual humans who aren't trying to monetize their advice... What's a really tanky build that is relatively passive play? I'm currently leveling a healing hands divine bolts paladin and I think it might be the winner already

I'm also really loving that I can keep low level friends alive by giving them life to ward gear then "healing" thousands of ward on them. Can anything else group play that well?

[tepid girder]

I apologise immensely if this has been asked a bunch I just joined to ask as I haven't found anything online about it, my buddy just got LE to play with me and has been getting nonstop Error LE-65 and nothing we've tried has worked is there any surefire solution?

[hollow inlet]

With patch 1.0.8.3, I get LE-52 error constantly (this after palying over 1100 hours). Unable to paly anymore due to this...any ideas?

[faint cape]

@idle wave Only the first rule in the list that matches an item is what applies to that item. All items are shown by default, and "recolor" does not hide items, so they'll still be shown if the matching rule is a "recolor" one.

The only purpose for "show" rules is to intentionally block out some items from follow-up rules

[idle wave]

first being closest to the top, right?

[faint cape]

Right

[idle wave]

so... does select color do nothing with "show" selected? only if recolor is selected?

[faint cape]

it shouldn't let you select a color on the "show" rule, if it does that's a bug

"recolor" rules are the only ones that use the color select widget

[idle wave]

okay I swear I was selecting colors on "show" a moment ago and now I can't

I went to get a screenshot of it

[faint cape]

it might be bugged yeah, I kinda vaguely remember that being a bug introduced in 1.0 or something like that

just a visual bug though, the color select still won't do anything unless you do a recolor rule

[idle wave]

so "recolor" is really "show and recolor"

[faint cape]

yeah, essentially

[hushed skiff]

I am currently doing monoliths of fate. When should I do the echo quests. Someone told me that it's best to do it after completing all the stages in the monoliths and maxing out the top yellow bar. Is this correct?

[surreal verge]

You need your stability to hit their requirement to do the echo quests,so yeah

[hushed skiff]

I am above the stability requirement. Should I just do it or complete all the stages first

[oblique vale]

doesn't really matter

[icy drift]

Yeah there's no difference in doing the quest echoes as you reach the stability requirement vs just doing all of them at once when you reach the last requirement

People tend to prefer doing them all at once because they get rid of your echo modifiers but it really doesn't matter

[hushed skiff]

Completeting Echo Quests get rid of our modifiers in the monolithh? Can you explaink this please?

[random perch]

so i'm using a frost claw build, and i had progressed enough in the build guide to where i could spam frost claw consistently and not empty the mana

but all of a sudden I can't do that anymore, and I have no idea why

I've checked my gear and don't think I've done any relevant changes, I'm kinda lost tbh

I know this is a wild 1, but thought I'd try

got it btw

unequipped and equipped an item with frost claw lvls, which made me lose points in an abil that reduced mana cost

[icy drift]

Echo modifiers only last for up to 3 echoes. Quest echoes count as an echo for the sake of the echo modifiers duration but don't give you a new modifier.

So once you've done the first two quest echoes back to back you'll have taken off 2 echoes from your echo modifiers, which will usually clear all of them (unless you just took a 3 duration modifier), and enables you to fight the timeline boss without any modifiers

[hushed skiff]

How exactly do I check which modifiers I have and how do I set them?

[grand shoal]

1. the ones you have
2. the one you get

The small numbers indicate the uses before it is gone

You can get rid of those for example by playing these ones

[hushed skiff]

thank you 🙂

[storm wren]

Does the boss of an echo count as conditions in many prophecies? Or it count bosses in each monolith only?

[toxic echo]

so i know i won't be able to get poe levels of speed in this game, but is primalist my best bet for speedy gameplay?

or are there "faster" options

[desert tree]

Everyone can be pretty speedy

[hollow sierra]

i mean, yeah i guess, i just like to move fast and i remember leaps and frenzy and all that on my primalist i had in beta and i don't know if anyone else can get that kind of movement

[surreal verge]

Rogues.

[spare yoke]

I had a lot of movement options on my first sentinel. It was pretty fun to hop around with him.
Haven't played primalist or rogue's yet tho.

[hollow sierra]

i figured they could schmoove and i felt that as well but i gotta look into some of their builds because the one i had just felt off lol

[spare yoke]

Builds really make or break the gameplay imo.
I'm still pretty new, but my hot take is to try out the different abilities and see which click for you. And look for builds off of that.

From what I understand, they are unique affix's that can't be upgraded thru crafting. Like experimental.

[hushed skiff]

Thhanks

So I just started doing monoliths. I am thinking I grind out 1LP exalteds and improve those then go to dungeons/areas to get even better gear and then bounce back and forthh like this till I am geared well? Am I thinking correctly. I am thinking I won't invest in anything other than exalted righht now.

How do I make it show me only items of tier 5 or above for the affixes I hhave chosen? In advanced options I chose more or equal to 5 and "total affix tiers" also I put more or exual to 5

[toxic echo]

total affix tiers would show anything that has 5 total tiers, so it could be like a t1+t1+t1+t2

i dont think thats the one you want

the first one is all you need if you want a specific affix at t5 or above

[hushed skiff]

I put more or equal to 5 for the first one but I am still being shown items that are less than T5.

@toxic echo

[toxic echo]

because of the second part of that rule i would bet

or another rule in the filter

[hushed skiff]

I set rarity to unique, exalted and set. For the affix i chose my affix and set tier to 5 more or equal to and for the 2nd advanced I left it at any.

[spare yoke]

Think it's the any that's triggering it for you.

no nvm. One sec I think I got a solution. Do you have the affixes set to none?

[hushed skiff]

No. I have selected the affixes I want.

[spare yoke]

what's your rule order look like?
The top one will always trigger first.

[hushed skiff]

I put bothh rules into one XD

lol

no wonder it didn't work hahhahaha

[spare yoke]

Ayyy atleast you fixed it!

[hushed skiff]

Thanks for the help ^_^

[spare yoke]

Any advice on circle of fortune vs merchants guild?

[toxic echo]

this late in the cycle, nothing new is really coming into MG, so, what stock is there, is there. and there isnt too many people buying either, so making money is going to be hard. would suggest cof unless you are already loaded

the economy next cycle should be better

[spare yoke]

Thanks! appreciate the info :)

[grand shoal]

Both show no difference in cast speed in the character sheet, why?

[toxic echo]

probably some weird rounding issue

stats in LE are actually decimals, they just dont show

so your 12 might be like, 11.7, and the 11 might be like 11.4.

but with your other cast speed, it ends up being rounded the same on the stat sheet

[hollow pebble]

Hei, is it possible to drop the red ring with prophecies in age of winter from every map or only from the "unique/set ring" encounter? 🙂

[toxic echo]

red ring is a global drop, can get it from anywhere

its just a better chance with the smaller loot pools from the ring echoes

[hollow pebble]

Is there something else i can do to push the chance? Atm I have always prophecies for unique ring and running age of winter(400+ corruption)

Also have blessing for ring and unique drop ^^

[toxic echo]

nope

[hollow pebble]

Okay, thanks for answering 👍

[spare yoke]

Is there any way to see my area of effect range?

Like the animation for harvest is smaller than the actual area covered by it. Makes spacing feel weird.

[toxic echo]

besides just messing around with getting comfortable with distance in like, arena dummy area, no

[spare yoke]

Ahh that's sad. Good to know though, thanks.

[hushed skiff]

is it possible to have more than 500 stability?

[toxic echo]

total, yeah

depends on the timeline tho

max stab is usually 2x what you need for the boss fight

so like the first timeline you only need like, 250? or something. so 500 would likely be the max

the quests to do the boss are in the top left corner

[hushed skiff]

thhanks

[spare yoke]

Oh wow, just finished the campaign and...it kinda ended abruptly?
Is there more to it in the monolith of fate or the expansion coming soon?

[desert tree]

More chapters are yet to come

[toxic echo]

ch 10 is coming in 1.2

[spare yoke]

oh sweet thanks for the heads up

[hushed skiff]

I am playing Rune Master and I just finished the first monolith. I have to choose one of 3 blessings. Which do I take?
11% increased unique drop rate, 47% increased ornate idol drop rate, 11% increased glyph drop rate.

Also I have no gear. I am still using what I got from campaign.

[toxic echo]

whatever one you want. its just a drop rate blessing...just helps your loot

uniques will net you more unique items...glyphs will help you crafting

[hushed skiff]

I'll takee glyphhs I guess. I don't think I'll find any unique that's going to be very hhelpful right now

[faint cape]

You might want to change your "hide" rule to hide normal/magic/rare and remove the affix condition on it.

[hushed skiff]

wouldn't that hide magic and rare items withh T5 affixes that I want as well?

[faint cape]

No, when an item drops, it reads through your rules from top to bottom and stops at the first one it matches

[hushed skiff]

Thank you. I will try that out.

[hushed skiff]

I changed the last hide rule to hide normal magic rare and removed the afix condition on it. Should I remove the rarity condition in my 2nd rule?

[faint cape]

Yeah you can remove the rarity condition on the second rule if you want, it's actually not doing anything at all

[hushed skiff]

Thanks 🙂

[hushed skiff]

Thank you. It works perfectly now ^_^

[idle forum]

Are there any balance shake ups confirmed via the new circle already?

[desert tree]

In LE its Cycle and yes a lot of balance changes are coming

[burnt harbor]

when picking up exalted items for a build should I prioritize the t6/7 being for my build or more of the other stats?

[queen gulch]

does a skill despecialize if I refund the passive points that allowed me to get it?

[faint cape]

No, but the spec is disabled until you reallocate passive points back up to where you've unlocked it again

[queen gulch]

Thank you! though I decided to just de specialize everything and restart all from scratch but still using same skills

[faint cape]

I'd prioritize the T6/7 since affixes below T5 can be modified more easily, as well as the item basetype (unless you are just looking for the item for legendary crafting, where the base doesn't matter)

[faint cape]

That works, too!

[spare yoke]

how does crafting legendaries work?
E.g. Does it choose one affix at random?

[surreal verge]

It chooses affixes from the exalted at random yes.

https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/legendary_items

[hardy panther]

Friends, how are optimization and memory leaks these days? I would like to play again, but my PC isn't very strong and these things put me off a lot.

[slate parrot]

uhhh i had a new update today and now i have this when buying stuff from vendors is there a way to disable it? im playing on offline mode (relaunching game fixed it)

[hollow galleon]

i got a question im trying to run the temporal sanctum dungeon and it gave me the shift ability im just not seeing it on any of my skills what am i suppose to do

[surreal verge]

It should be on a seperate button on a circle beside your health bar.

[hollow galleon]

it says its on d but i have a skill on that key

should i try changing the key to see it fixes it

[surreal verge]

You should be able to rebind that key I think

[hollow galleon]

oh i see my b thx

i got it thx

[raven kayak]

I keep getting disconnected.

1. How to check the server status?
2. If I play offline, can I switch back later?

[surreal verge]

2. Offline chars stay offline only, non-transferable.

[storm wren]

Do this type of bow available in merchant of observatory and random merchant chests only?

[icy drift]

Yes it's specifically from CoF caches and gambler, it's just a worse dreadthorn bow though

All faction specific bases are worse versions of normal bases

[oblique vale]

but it looks cooler

[icy drift]

Fair enough lol

[steel sapphire]

Has anyone noticed any improvements with Steam Deck play? For my short time with testing, I feel like the last big update has helped the stability, but I also did the memory fix, so I can't truly say on whether or not the memory leak issue is better than it was.

[oblique vale]

mike did say it was just back end stuff, so who knows

[versed geyser]

hello everyone. What do you do with the gears dropped from exalted mages? cause i dont think those experimental pre/suffixes are useful. And what does the sealing rune do?

[oblique vale]

i stuff them into a special stash tab
until i figure out a use for them
sealing rune attempts to move an affix into a special 5th affix slot, which frees up the original spot for you

you can only have one sealed affix on any given item

[static slate]

black hole itself costs 35 mana, but basic version of meteor costs 56
So would node from pic 1 trigger passive skill from pic 2?

[faint cape]

No, since you are not the one "using" meteor, the black hole is casting it

[hushed skiff]

I have been told thst In monoliths of fate the nodes that are mire further out in the stage have better rewards. For example in the monolith the black sun nodes further out have better rewards than the inner nodes. Is this correct?

@faint cape Hi! Can you tell me if this rule set will work? 1st rule = show all unique, sets and exalted. 2nd = rule show items with selected afix of any tier. 3rd rule = shhow items of selected affix of only T5 and above. 4th rule = hide normal, magic and raree items which dont have affixes I have selected.

I would really appreciate it if you could take a look at this. Thanks.

[faint cape]

Yes, that's right (on average)

[faint cape]

Yep! Looks like it should do what you want

[hushed skiff]

Thhanks 🙂

[hushed skiff]

I have this node hhere in my monolith. Should I do this? Is it good? I have 0 corruption since i just finished defeating nagasa and so its my 1st time doing monolith.

[hushed skiff]

||: I am completing this monolithh for the first time. Does it matter which pact I join? I have choices between Blood pact and Frost Brand.||

[storm blaze]

Doesn't matter, no

It used to matter

why doesn't it matter anymoree?

[storm blaze]

Bevcause they made it so that you unlock them both ways anyway

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/scaling

tunklabs or lastepochtools will have all your answers. this is corr scaling in the monolith

[acoustic thicket]

so I have a character I started at launch, and then took a break from while everything sorted itself out. Now that I'm back, it has my character listed under "cycle" and not "legacy" is that because this is the first season or?

[hushed skiff]

Thanks

[teal pebble]

I started in MG but I feel like the items are really expensive. decent items go for millions... Is CoF better? I am afraid I will be grinding for items forever tho.

[hushed skiff]

Same. Started in MG but haven't made a single trade because I can't figure what exactly is going on. From what I have heard something happened in the 1.0 cycle that screwed up the market. So now it's not worth trading until next cycle which us 9th July.

[hushed skiff]

I am currently doing monoliths and have reached reign of dragons and am lvl 76. I have just been doing it with the gear I got from campaign. When should I start investing in the exalted that I have collected? I haven't gotten anything that nice I think.

[round ember]

Just curious, what are the release dates for the next major patch and the next season restart? I read through some blogs but couldn't find any exact dates unless I missed it.

[candid elm]

Next month, July 9th, for both. I don't think the exact time has been announced yet. News post #news message

[round ember]

Including a restart or just a major patch? Debating if I should start a new character now that I'm done with D4 S4. Have a Torment Warlock at 100. Edited: I see you mentioned for both above 👍

[candid elm]

Also next Cycle, 1.1. About 3 weeks left in this Cycle. Your current Cycle characters are also going to be moved to Legacy game mode. So you can continue to play them if you want.

[round ember]

yup, similar to D4. I guess a month is still enough to get another character to 100.

[pastel prairie]

I save all tier 7 affixes that I think are good in my stash to use in future legendary crafting or gearing out an alt. If I was you I would start crafting and practicing with runes and glyphs.

[candid elm]

Yeah the Last Epoch Cycles are similar Diablo Seasons and PoE Leagues. Just a different name for them between the games.

[hallow zenith]

Hello, newer player here. Only ever really played D2 and D4 but really enjoying this game. I feel a bit embarassed to admit im struggling to grasp crafting and havent crafted really anything yet, even though ive read its straight forward. Im like lvl 15 and Ive read that i should be crafting alot even from the start but ive been hesitant to avoid wasting mats early on and not confident how to craft properly. Am i supposed to be crafting alot early on or is it more for when im closer to end game? Any advice much appreciated, thank you

Maybe I'm overthinking things but just looking for some guidance

[faint cape]

Just to add on to this, there's no set time for the update + cycle, but it's fairly likely to be on or about 11 am central time.

[toxic echo]

nothing you get early game crafting wise is hard to get...so, craft as much as you can early. the only things you really need to save for endgame gear is like, +skill affixes, or despair glyphs...things like that. resistances and health are super common and you should always be putting on and adjusting what you need for where you are

once you get to end game you are likely going to be swimming in extra shards you wont be able to use them all.

tho you dont need to worry about super precise crafting early game or making "perfect" gear. just slap health on top on health and more health. w/e res you need, and some flat damage prefixes on weapons.

[craggy root]

is there such thing as an unarmed build?

[toxic echo]

there are a couple uniques that require you to be unarmed iirc. i know the judgement gloves require no weapon

[hallow zenith]

@toxic echo thank you, much appreciated. I ask cuz I'm following a build off of maxroll but feel dumb that I cant make the proper gear in the build for levelling but I think I'm overthinking it and should just go with the flow and experiment more

@toxic echo I'm a textbook overthinker

[toxic echo]

nothing pre level 70-80 matters at all really. gear wise. their gear suggestions on maxroll are typically best case win the lottery type things, just to show you the best path. you will almost never ever get any of those gear 100%

if squish, get more health. if fights take too long, get more damage. other than that, dont worry about making amazing gear until at the very least monoliths

[hallow zenith]

@toxic echo greatly appreciated 🙏

[drowsy rapids]

when is the enxt season?

[desert tree]

July 9th

[hollow galleon]

question but are certain unique that are behind bosses in the monolith can you get them to drop from the prophecies was just wondering cause im farming reign of winter rn for my build

[storm blaze]

No, prophecies can't drop boss uniques

[solemn trout]

anyone having trouble with lost connections?

[surreal verge]

No

[surreal verge]

Cycles are seasons basically, so yes, you have a season char.

[hushed skiff]

In combat sometimes when the enemy hits us a clank sound effect is played which sounds like a hammer hitting a metal. What does that mean?

[indigo wigeon]

why ıs ıt so bıg :

[storm blaze]

A bug, relog should fix it

[hushed skiff]

Does this affix "Increased Spell Crit (Doubled If You Have Over 300 Max Mana)" mean above 300 current mana or max mana?

[toxic echo]

it literally says in the affix max mana

lol

you typed it

[hushed skiff]

I must be going blind

XD

thanks

Does it work if I have exactly 300 max mana? Or does it need to be over 300 max mana?

[toxic echo]

300 or more

[hushed skiff]

Thanks

What would you all say is more important. Increase to damage or incrase to critical strike chance and multiplier?

[toxic echo]

damage if using dot...crit is doing anything hit

[hushed skiff]

Sweet. Thanks

Is it worth investing in freeze rate multiplier? Because it seems very high level enemies and bosses cannot be frozen.

[toxic echo]

if you fully invest in it, yes,

outside of a few purposely immune to freeeze bosses, with enough investment you can freeze everything pretty consistently

[hushed skiff]

How much is this enough freeze rate multiplier?

[toxic echo]

thousands

and a really good base freeze rate skill

[faint cape]

You need to invest in all the things that scale freeze if you want to be serious about freezing bosses

that is, hit rate, freeze rate multi, freeze rate per chill, and maintain 30+ frostbite stacks

Frostbite builds are good at that, since they naturally scale their damage already from all of those except freeze rate per chill

[hushed skiff]

sounds like I won't invest in it then XD

thanks 🙂

[umbral flume]

could somebody help me understand the distinction in affixes between suffixes and prefixes, particularly as it pertains to crafting?

[oblique vale]

prefixes are listed first
suffixes are after that
you can have up to two of both

[cedar locust]

Last Epoch Tools has the full Game Guide to help!

Affixes
Affix Shards
Crafting Explanation

[umbral flume]

Thank you for sharing this 🙂

[cedar locust]

You're welcome! I reference it daily to find stuff to help players 😊 There is also TunkLabs which has similar info but expands on some stuff too, as well as having a few calculators to figure out values!

[umbral flume]

I of course understand prefix/suffix as a grammar concept, but I was just reading over the glyph of chaos tooltip while crafting and was pretty confused lol

[cedar locust]

Ah I see what you mean, that just means if the affix is a Prefix (on the left of the crafting screen) it cannot become a Suffix (on the right of the crafting screen) - An Item Tooltip has a quick way to tell the difference too, via the little arrows on the left and right!

[hushed skiff]

How much total critical strike chance would I need to constantly crit even at high corruption (not added, not increases but total)?

How much total crit multiplier would I need to have good crit numbers even at high corruption?

[umbral flume]

I see, so they just classify certain categories of affixes in prefix and suffix buckets which governs which ones can be swapped out for others and whatnot

[honest birch]

any idea what the recent update was?

[storm blaze]

just backend stuff

[cedar locust]

Yep! And you can check that in the Crafting Materials page, each shard type says if it's a Prefix or Suffix! You can also check on LE Tools - Affix Shards List

[cedar locust]

Yup, backend stuff that doesn't affect anything players interact with 🙂

[honest birch]

still feel they could pusha changelog just saying
. changed some backend stuff

so we dont have to wonder

[umbral flume]

Thank you for clearing that up for me

[toxic echo]

depends on your base crit chance. if you stay at the default 5% base, you need like 2000% inc crit chance. however if you increase base crit chance, you would need considerably less. at 20% base crit, you only need 500% inc crit chance. you can up base crit with weapon implicits, and inside skill trees, and other ways.

crit multi...more. always more

[spare yoke]

Is this guy good...or bad?

[hushed skiff]

Oh damn! Thank you! I didn't know inplecits and passive tree added to base. Does Skills tree like freeball also add to base?

[surreal verge]

You'll have to find " +X % Critical Strike chance" (Not "+X% increased Critical Strike chance")

[toxic echo]

would be base crit

would be the % crit

for examples

[hushed skiff]

So would crit increase we get from skill tree like fireball be added to base or?

[toxic echo]

depends on how its worded.

if it says "increased" or not

[hushed skiff]

Thanks man. Loved your explanation. I feel so smart now 😅

[spare yoke]

does tier of the temporal sanctum matter for crafting legendaries?

[hushed skiff]

Is there a known bug with offline mode? When I try to start with my character the game goes back to the login screen after the initial cut scene

[hushed skiff]

When it comes to affixes different gear provides different amounts for the same affix for example Mana affix is not constant in the amount that is provided across different gears. Is there an easy way to see wich gear provides the most value for a specific affix?

[toxic echo]

pretty sure you have been given these sites before....but lastepochtools and tunklabs both have tons on information

[candid elm]

Like Eagles mentioned, you can look up the Affix on LE Tools or TunkLabs and see the scaling. For example, if you look up flat + Mana and then scroll down https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/prefixes/AAwZgLEA
Example, Here's the different tier value ranges for Mana on Amulet, Helment, and Body Armour.

Same for TunkLabs https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/affix/added_mana

[hushed skiff]

Thhanks 🙂

If I hhave a 3.5 second cooldown on a spell and have 61% increased cooldown recovery then my coold down would now be around 1.5 seconds righht?

[candid elm]

The math on increased cooldown recovery speed is something like: Original CD / (1 + increased cooldown recovery speed %) = Adjusted CD

So if the original is 3.5s and you have 61% increased cooldown recover speed, then it would be around: 3.5s / (1 + 0.61) = 2.17s

You'd need in the neighborhood of 125% increased cooldown recovery speed to get 3.5s down to around 1.5s: 3.5 / (1 + 1.25) = 1.55s

[hushed skiff]

damn

Thhanks

[candid elm]

You're welcome, you can think of it as 100% increased cooldown recovery speed is a halved CD

[hexed oxide]

Question, is this game primarily played solo?

The few players I've seen in game that are near my level seem to not want to play in parties

[native sail]

That's kinda how ARPGs go, yeah

[hexed oxide]

Hmm, between online and offline, is the only difference just simply you can play with parties in one and can't in the other?

[native sail]

Well, offline also doesn't get trade, and will be delayed on getting the pinnacle boss at 1.1

[candid elm]

Yes, you can't party with other players and you can't trade with other players. So no Merchant's Guild and using the Bazaar. And there's currently not cosmetics offline.

[native sail]

Oh yeah that too

Forget that part

[hexed oxide]

Cosmetics are paid only correct?

[candid elm]

The delay Normal is referring to is 1 week after launch the the pinnacle boss is also available in legacy and offline

Yeah most of them. There's a few you could have gotten get depending on when you ordered the game and which version you purchased.

I guess which version you purchased is still paid only

[hexed oxide]

Hmm might just play offline then

I'm not bothered by cosmetics

As long as I'm not locked out of any game features that are big

[marsh maple]

so like

on cycle start

you will be locked out of the new pinnacle bosses for like 1 day

but thats it for that

[native sail]

Pretty sure there's just one pinnacle boss if Mike's implications are to be believed

[hexed oxide]

Oh, okay so playing offline is perfectly fine?

[marsh maple]

yeah that one

yeah its perfectly fine other than bugs that exist in offline vs online and vice versa @hexed oxide

[hexed oxide]

Are the bugs very bad?

[candid elm]

[desert tree]

Try sharing a screenshot, you should be able to post picture in here

[desert tree]

You are overcapped

[fading wave]

Oh , its highly overcapped

[desert tree]

Btw having Crit Avoid and Reduced Crit Dmg at the same time is useless

[hushed skiff]

[hushed skiff]

Why? I was under the impression that at high corruption crit will at times go through.

[desert tree]

If you cap Crit Avoidance you will never get Crit ed

[hushed skiff]

Ohhhhhj ok.

Thanks

[desert tree]

If you cap the other one being Crit ed result in 0% Extra Dmg taken

[strong thistle]

Offline doesn’t have access to Merchant Guild Faction

So take that into consideration

[hushed skiff]

would you all say wards per second helps with ward retention?

[candid elm]

There's a calc here you can play with https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ward

[hushed skiff]

if I am understaning it correctly according to that calculator then it does help with ward retention.

[native sail]

Well yeah, if you're making more ward then you end up with... more ward. That has nothing to do with your retention though.

[hushed skiff]

is 95% all elemental resistance way too much for a non-tank character?

[acoustic thicket]

Does corruption level affect the chance for t7 exalts much (~600)?

Or is it better to just farm at a lower level corruption (~200+), where I can clear the monolith faster?

[acoustic thicket]

It caps at 75%, so it's definitely overcapped.

I think there's a debuff mark for death that reduces it by a further 20%, but that would be the only reason that overcapping would ever be worth it.

I might be wrong on the following, but as I understand it:

The damage taken if you're under 75% resistance isn't as impactful as other ARPGs too, because enemies get additional 1% resistance shred(?) per level up to a total of 75%.

So at 74% you only take 1% more damage, as opposed to going from taking 0.25x damage to 0.26x damage.

[hushed skiff]

thanks

is it just me or does dodge seem like a very bad stat to invest in?

[native sail]

It's just you. It's hard to invest in it outside of Rogue, but on Rogue it is absurdly powerful.

[hushed skiff]

ok. thanks 🙂

For a non-tanky character that is relying on wards as one of its means of survivability. How much wards retention would you all say it required by such a character? I am currently sitting at 429% retention with 91 intelligence (Rune Master).

[candid elm]

The Marked for Death that Sleepy mentioned is -25% all resistances. But you'll know about it ahead of time, you'll see it listed on the echo modifier. https://www.lastepochtools.com/ailments/marked_for_death

You can also get Resistances Shredded by some enemies and Shock reduces Lightning Resistance. But in general, yeah, there's not much need to go over 75% resistance unless you have an item or passive that scales uncapped resistance - uncapped is your total resistance including anything past 75%. So if you had 95%, that's your uncapped.

You're going to want multiple defensives. Just Resistances isn't enough. You mentioned Ward, Armor and Resistances and other defenses work with Ward. It's just Endurance that only works on damage to Health. You've over capped your Critical Strike Avoidance and Reduced Crit Damage Taken, so you can pick just one of those. Crit Avoid you'd ideally want at 100%. Reduced Crit Damage Taken works below 100%, you'd just take that % of missing as extra bonus damage on a Crit - enemies have 200% Crit Multiplier.

[hushed skiff]

Yup! I fixed the over capped mistakes with crit avoidance, crit dmg reduction, and elemental resistances. Currently working on ward retention and armor and I can't figure out how much is a good number to have.

[candid elm]

There's a chart here for Armor. It reduces Physical Damage more than non-Physical Damage. And it doesn't do anything against Damage over Time, unless you have an item that says otherwise. https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/armor

It does reduce damage to your Ward, so it's another nice defensive thing to have

[hushed skiff]

Thanks

[hexed oxide]

is that trading?

[candid elm]

Yes and the Bazaar - Last Epoch version of an auction house for selling items.

You techincally can join the Mechant's Guild when playing Offline

But you'd be far better off joining Circle of Fortune - that's the item faction that's geared towards solo play

does blizzard totem scale with totem cast speed as DoT?

Do wings of lightning from gathering storm (crow attack chain) work if I convert both to cold

[hexed oxide]

Ah, I'll pass. I'll join other factions if possible

[candid elm]

Yeah join Circle of Fortune instead

[hexed oxide]

Bet

[storm wren]

Never know I can reach these numbers (509%, 505%) one day too hahaha

[sonic saddle]

gratz! not too far from the big milestone of 600% where you cap rare boss drop unique drop rates

[spare yoke]

did the servers just bloop?

Nevermind seems to be working now. But uh...that was weird

[hushed skiff]

How much stun avoidance and freeze rate multiplier is a good number to have even at high corruption?

[proud prawn]

0

[hushed skiff]

?

😅

[proud prawn]

0

[hushed skiff]

why 0?

[proud prawn]

because it's useless

[surreal verge]

Stun avoidance is pretty useless yes.

Freeze rate is only useful if you're ACTUALLY freezing things.

[proud prawn]

for freeze rate multi as much as u can if you're using snowdrift frostbite build

[hushed skiff]

ummm I have frost wall 😅

[proud prawn]

at high corruption mobs has way too much HP you wont freeze them anyway

[hushed skiff]

and cold spell with 70-100 base freeze rate from invocation skills

[proud prawn]

since your base freeeze rate is so low

[hushed skiff]

ok thanks. I won't invest in these 2 then.

[storm wren]

Real 500 now

[hushed skiff]

Guys can you guys take a look at my build? Its a manual cast Rune Master that uses all 40 spells. Character is supposed to be offensive, defense comes mostly in the form of wards from manual invocation casts and mana spent gained as ward, mobility comes in the form of teleport so CD reduction for teleport has been invested, idols have not been selected because it seems like they are very RNG to get so will just use what I have, Uniques and set items weren't considered because they are harder to get. Would love to received feedback 🙂

[lavish crane]

Strange planner, T7 everywhere even in sealed affix, no blessing, no idol. Unique are definitely not harder to get that a single T7 exalt with right stats everywhere. This build make no sense. Go in mage thread to ask about mage build in #🧙┃mage
And why use endurance in a ward build?

[hushed skiff]

I needed to throw something in and other defensive stats were capped out so I put endurance 😅
Thhanks for the feedback 🙂

[sonic saddle]

i think atm your time is better spent playing the game to actually learn about it than theorycrafting builds

[hushed skiff]

I am doing monoliths right now and have reached reign of dragons. Still using campaign gear. Thought it would be a good idea to experiment with gear to see how it feels.

[vocal plank]

#news message

When they say "environments" they just mean on & offline, and legacy right?
They're not talking about it possibly being a random boss you fight for a mono right?

[hushed skiff]

are empowered blessings very hard to get?

[vocal plank]

They're not hard to get. Just have to run empowered monos

[toxic echo]

no...they just require you using empowered timelines

you also have a staggering 43 points in your base class...which is about 20 too much.

you are getting none of the runeword buffs that really make RM shine

[vocal plank]

Depending on the build they can still be very useful but not 23 extra

[toxic echo]

no extra brand dmg

you dont really need lightning blast, fireball, and RI for dmg. you also arent using the staple of nearly every single mage build, flame ward

and they guy above already said your gear is literally impossible to get, with t7 seals and 4xt7 gear

[vocal plank]

The only way you can ever have a sealed T7 is if it's experimental

And the only way to get a T7 experimental mod is to drop them from wizards

[hushed skiff]

Thanks guys. Yes working on fixing the T7 issues. I'll take a look at the passive tree. Flame ward wasn't chosen due to its high cooldown which will stop me from invoking spells fast. The concept of I am going for is an offensive rune master that uses all 40 spells while invoking them fast. This was one reason why I didn'nt choose anything with a long CD that would stop me from getting the runes to invoke and is also the reason I skipped the brands. I couldn't find a reliable consistent way to apply brands. Fire ball and lightning blast are there to help me get the runes to invoke spells. They aren't there for damage.

[grand shoal]

You really want Flame Ward as panic button usually

[toxic echo]

flame ward can be spec'd as fire/cold/lightning. can replace either of the two skills. ice wall can be spec'd into all 3 as well. flame rush instead of teleport can also be all 3 elements.

all would be better options other than fireball and LB just for runes

they give you runes AND something useful

[hushed skiff]

I really want to put flame ward to get my runes but it has a base cooldown of 15 seconds. That's too long. I won't be able to continuously invoke with it.

I had thought fire frost wall to apply brand consistently and then turn runebolt into ice and use glyph of dominion for electric but glyphs high mana cost combined with frost walls high mana cost made me feel I wouldn't be able to sustain mana for fast invokes since invoked spells have a very high mana cost too.

[dull shell]

They still havent fixed the issue with Aerial Assault Node "Storm on the Horizon" that it still counts as a traversal skill despite not moving you anymore?

[hushed skiff]

In general which provides more damage +105% increased spell damage or +10 spell damage?

[toxic echo]

you should almost always take the flat damage...since its much ahrder to get than % increased

but it entirely depends on how much of each you have

[last brook]

Flat early and mid % later

[surreal verge]

80% of the time, flat.

Since there's not a lot of sources of flat.

[cedar locust]

Yep! So the Pinnacle Boss (and just the Pinnacle Boss, all other content is coming to all environments) will launch for Online Cycle first and then to all other environments either that next working day after it is defeated OR after 1 week if it is not 🙂

[hushed skiff]

Thank you 🙂

❤️

If I have a base crit chance of 42% then how much increased crit chance would I need to consistently crit even at high corruption?

[surreal verge]

Just to note: Corruption doesn't modify crit chance, unless you gave them the crit avoid modifier. (Which a single one will ruin any chance of decent crit chance and you can't do anything about it)

[last brook]

If I remember correctly my character had about 60/65% crit chance and it was plenty enough for me to get ward on crit and sustain it

I want say if items says 100% crit chance increase that gives like 5/10% in your char stats. But that's prolly wrong xd

[surreal verge]

132% +- increased crit chance

To get 42% to 99+% (assuming 42% is base crit)

[last brook]

That can't be right unless something had changed since I last played. By those numbers the helmet that gives 200% crit would almost max you out but It didn't cos I used it

Regardless id say 70 crit is good

[surreal verge]

Your base crit is 5%.
200% increased crit chance would turn that 5% into 15%.

[hushed skiff]

I am not a math wiz but if I am not mistaken then with a base crti chance of 42% we would need an increased crit chance of 240% to crit consistently.

[surreal verge]

42% x 3.4 = 142% crit

[hushed skiff]

This might sound stupid but what's the 3.4? 😅

[surreal verge]

340%.

[hushed skiff]

Damn! Even with base crit of 42 we still need 340% increased crit chance to crit consistently! 😱

[last brook]

Ya that sounds right xd

But you wouldn't look for all that crit in items. Skill passives, class passives blessing etc

[proud prawn]

err no you dont

with 42% base crit chance you only need around 140% increase crit chance to reach 100% crit

[desert tree]

240%'Increase is x3.4

[vocal plank]

OK so environment just means what servers. Good, good.

[cedar locust]

Yep 😊 the decision was made to not further restrict which environment would need to complete the content before it was released, so it's only Cycle Online - you can read about it here, #news message

[storm wren]

Can I get the reward if I kill 2 exiled mage in 500 corruption monolith? 😆

[vocal plank]

Tracking all. I linked it in the original question

[vocal plank]

Yes. It's pretty much 100+

[cedar locust]

So you did! Sorry, lots of info in and out 😅

[vocal plank]

All good. I'm HR I understand

My condolences

I meant to mention it but I got busy with work.
T5 isn't possible to seal either, sorry.
T4 is the best

[hushed skiff]

:/

back to the drawing board 😭

[vocal plank]

All you gotta do is lower those values and that's all I've got for you.
Mainly because I know how gear works better than anything else for RM because I refuse to play it

Also, how are you generating ward?
What's your source because as of right now you're going to fall over to a small gust of wind.

@hushed skiff

[storm wren]

🙏 Give me jungle queen's belt please. Alright, zero

[acoustic thicket]

will there be a new season? when does the new season start ? has the season started yet?

[cedar locust]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1252590803541295165

[hushed skiff]

I generate ward by:

1. invoking spells
2. mana spent converted to ward
3. every fire and lightning skill gives me ward
4. using lightning blast 3 times in a row also gives me ward and mana
5. every direct spell cast gives me ward
6. Enemies that walk through frost wall give me wards.
7. Teleporting gives me ward
8. There are Spells that I can invoke which give me very good burst of wards too.

[vocal plank]

Alright cool.

[hushed skiff]

Ok boys and girls I fixed the sealed affixes problem too this time. Please have a look. Would appreciate any feedback ❤️ The concept is Offensive Rune Master whose main damage is invoked spells to consistently crit, consistently dealing damage by invoking spells fast and using all 40 spells (Spells will be chosen based on need and situation), defense comes in the form of wards, mobility comes in the form of teleport which also boosts damage output so I will be teleporting every time before I unleash an invocation. Please feel free to ask me if you have any questions.

I hate to ask, but did no one explain to him sealing mechanics?

[hushed skiff]

I was told T4 is the highest tier we can seal...

Ok wait. I checked online. I'll fixed the affix sealing right now 😅

[hushed skiff]

I fixed it. Please check now.

[native sail]

It is. It's also very hard to do anything above like T2 because the odds get really bad.

[hushed skiff]

Yup! I read it up online so I fixed that problem in my build 😁

[sonic saddle]

yeah they're talking about cycle/legacy/offline

[proud prawn]

i suggest you learn a bit more about the game's item system before trying to theorycraft self cook build

stuff like this is outright impossible

[hushed skiff]

😭

Too many T7?

[proud prawn]

both the t7 and the sealed

are prefixes

[sonic saddle]

hey man he could get it from a first item purchased on the soul gambler with a specific modifier :L

[proud prawn]

it's impossible to have that

[hushed skiff]

Sealed can only be suffix?

[proud prawn]

with a tier2?

[sonic saddle]

specifically with a t2 lol

[hushed skiff]

The T7 don't necessarily have to be T7. T6 works too. I just put in T7. Having T6 doesn't brick the build.

[proud prawn]

oh lol im wrong then kekw

[sonic saddle]

it's more that how do you seal the affix, then have two exalts in prefixes

you can't

[proud prawn]

good luck with that then

Then is suggest never have more than 1xt7 on an item

[hushed skiff]

I thought we just use that Seal item on an affix to seal them.

[proud prawn]

on a theorycrafted one

[sonic saddle]

yes, but then how do you get the 2nd exalted prefix

or if you started with double exalt

how do you get the t2 prefix to seal

[hushed skiff]

Good point. I'll fix it.

I didn't think that way. Thanks

[proud prawn]

try to craft a build from realistic item

[sonic saddle]

theorycraft with single exalted affixes and no sealed affixes

[hushed skiff]

I'll make everything T5 and the seals T1

[sonic saddle]

unless you already have the item

[hushed skiff]

That would make things simpler I think.

[sonic saddle]

theorycraft with single exalted affixes and no sealed affixes

unless you already have the item

[proud prawn]

yeah best way to do it is build it up from items that you ALREADY have

[hushed skiff]

I don't know what I have. I just hoarded stuff because I didn't know what to build lol

[sonic saddle]

hitting specific sealed affixes is really hard

hell, hitting beneficial ones is hard

[proud prawn]

even getting a desired t7 exalted with 3x useful affixes

[sonic saddle]

it costs a lot of FP, massively reducing the odds of you ending up with a good item

[proud prawn]

can be quite hard sometimes

[hushed skiff]

What if I make everything T5 and seal a prefix at T1 then I can caft the next prefix I want into the item right?

[sonic saddle]

yeah especially for exalted class specific affixes

[sonic saddle]

still hard

[proud prawn]

honestly

[hushed skiff]

I'd probably need to have atleast 3 stats of the desired item on it already I guess

[sonic saddle]

don't plan to seal useful affixes

[proud prawn]

just play with what u already have

then go from there

[sonic saddle]

stop considering sealed affixes

[proud prawn]

it looks like you haven't got the idea of how rare items can be

[hushed skiff]

Ok. I'll build with 0 seals.

[sonic saddle]

the usual usage for sealing is to seal useless affixes to free up slots

to help craft a good item

[hushed skiff]

I really don't I just pick and hoard 😂

[sonic saddle]

in anycase

[proud prawn]

this can lead to very frustrating experience

[sonic saddle]

i think you're kinda wasting your time theorycrafting your own build

[proud prawn]

like you'd go out there chasing an ideal item that you use on your crafted build

not knowing it's near impossible to get that

[hushed skiff]

I am Theory crafting because I am enjoying the game. Otherwise I would just use a build guide.

[sonic saddle]

or getting it after a long grind and finding out the build is trash

[proud prawn]

it's good

just use what u already have

then go from there

[hushed skiff]

If my build ends up being trash I am ok with that 😁

[fading wave]

Im still searching for some ....

[sonic saddle]

IMO learning from what other builds do is the best way to learn what works

like finding a build you know is good then looking at how it achieves what it achieves

[fading wave]

I also have a very dumb idea that will take me ages in CoF

[proud prawn]

yeah you dont need to blindly follow a build guide

[sonic saddle]

exactly

[proud prawn]

you can just read those and get the mechanic behind

and tweak

there's no shame in that lol

[sonic saddle]

don't blindly follow them, learn from them

even just taking part of the build you know works

[fading wave]

I watched 2 of Dreads showcased builds and tweaked them for me

[sonic saddle]

and trying to build around that

[fading wave]

Worked even better afterwards

[proud prawn]

for example you're building a RM with Runic Invocation as your main DPS skill

but you dont use Fundamental armor

nor Reowyn staff

nor shattered Cycle staaff

check those out

[fading wave]

Reowynn is hard to balance if you want the Armor/Dodge/ward to be relatively equal for the max Flat damage bonus

[hushed skiff]

I'll see what these are right now.

[proud prawn]

you can just stack all of them

no problem

it's not like RM has problem stacking those

[sonic saddle]

i had what looked like a reasonable idea on the surface but ended up being...

[fading wave]

Thats the Eclipse sword , forgor the correct name

[sonic saddle]

eternal eclipse

17 of them

[fading wave]

eternal sadness 😐

[sonic saddle]

16 1lps, 1 2lp

all failed slams

[hushed skiff]

Do you mean Fundamental Criterion?

[sonic saddle]

and when i finally hit it the build was mediocre

[proud prawn]

yes

[fading wave]

the only 1 LP slams i ever got lucky with were my Jhelkors , got T7 Lighning damage on one and T7 Flat Lightning on another back to back first try

[hushed skiff]

I didn't factor in uniqques because I just don't know how to get them. It felt too rng

[proud prawn]

good news for you

those things are easy to get

even with LPs

even with high LPs

[desert tree]

Less Rng than a t4 seal ^^

[proud prawn]

^ true kekw

[hushed skiff]

ok I'll look into uniqques too then

[proud prawn]

def less RNG then double class specific T7 on an exalted chest too

[sonic saddle]

i've gotten lucky with a bastion for 1lp slams

so far

hit T7 block eff

[hushed skiff]

Mage Unique armor Fundamental Criterion says "18%-36% more damage while using a wand". Is this increased damage or added?

[surreal verge]

It's 'more'

[cedar locust]

Known bug and on the QA queue! The keybindings are Space to reset view, Shift to Hide/Show the Quest Log, LMB click-and-drag to move the Map, Middle/Scroll Wheel to Zoom in/out and RMB on waypoints to fast travel!

The inputs still work, just the icons are borked for now. Hope that helps while we wait for the fix 🙂

[cinder pumice]

Ohhh I was pushing the wrong button trying to get the quest log up xD Thought it was related to the bug haha

[cedar locust]

No worries, I think this is on the 1.1 list so not long for a fix

[vocal plank]

Started as T7

[hushed skiff]

A YouTubeer said that when doing monoliths of fate it is good to keep going in one direction only. I am of the view that going in any direction us fine as long as the node provides the reward you want. What do you all think?

[vocal plank]

Blitz through monos. Get from the start to completion as fast as possible. More loot, more upgrades.
Make sure to kill trash along the way for favor so you can buy better gear if you're merchant's guild, or so you can buy prophecies if you're CoF

[oblique vale]

one direction is for pushing corruption or farming orobyss
otherwise you can do whatever

[vocal plank]

OH you were talking about the mono web sorry. That's my bad

[rancid magnet]

hi guys i need soem advice am considering starting over at lvl 1 wit ha rogue

but already have a lvl 31 warlock

so i dont konw if i should conitnue with my warlock or start over at lvl 1

[toxic echo]

entirely up to you and your fun levels.

if you arent feeling warlock...go have fun elsewhere

[rancid magnet]

i dont think am to far in story

i was never a spellcaster type

plsyer

i only play wizard in D4 cause they are great dps

i am a damage player

so prefer doing damage

so thats wh y ithink i wil lstart over as roguer

[toxic echo]

sounds like you will have more fun that way. which is the point of the game

[rancid magnet]

ok

thanks amlikiking last epoch

but i also like d4

[toxic echo]

plenty of room for both tbh

[rancid magnet]

true

d4 is getitng better

at least

but last epoch stil lseems alot more fun

more ways to buidl your caharacter

[vocal plank]

I think one of the reasons I dislike D4 so much is because of how long I spend planning builds. It doesn't take long to make strong builds in D4 which just isn't fun to me

[misty isle]

ITS BEEN ALMOST HALF A YEAR SINCE RELEASE WHY ARE THE SERVERS STILL THIS BAD

[rancid magnet]

how do icreate a loot filter

that wil ljsut find me the items i need

and recomandm e to pcik up those

i am at loot filter folder in game

wha tdo i do here create a new one or import

am following maxrol lloot fitler gudie but does not explai nit proeprly

[toxic echo]

should pretty much always make one tailored to your builds needs. anything online would just be generic

[rancid magnet]

ok

well jsut startered and going to go marksman

so should i make the filter now

early game

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/marksman-leveling-guide#loot-filter-header

going this class

and followign this build but thats levling build not end game build tyet

for end game gonan g othis one

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/hail-of-arrows-marksman-guide

[toxic echo]

i mean maxroll guides come with filters..you can use theirs and tweak as needed

you can make them whenever you want tbh.

lvl 1 or at monoliths

[muted fractal]

Use their filter for leveling understand what it's highlighting and hiding then when u get end game u l probably tweek it for u own needs

[rancid magnet]

ok

[remote moat]

when patch 1.1 comes please?

[buoyant sinew]

No

[echo shadow]

Do we know when we will get more information about 1.1 specifics?

[surreal verge]

A week before the patch the earliest.

[hushed skiff]

When using glyph of chaos, is it possible that the new affix will be of a lower tier than the current affix tier?

[surreal verge]

No, it always upgrades it.

[hushed skiff]

so if I use it on a T6 it will become T7?

[surreal verge]

Yes, if you can craft on T5s or higher (You can't)

[hushed skiff]

ok thhakns 🙂

which stat is more important to focus on first in your opion guys. Elemental resistance or crit avoidance?

[celest oak]

for gears, usually crit avoidance/reduction because resist is more flexible to add with idols

[hushed skiff]

ok. thanks

[hushed skiff]

When looking for items to craft what is the minimum forging potential you guys look for?

[hushed skiff]

What do you all recommend I do with all these exalted, no LP uniques and 1 LP uniques that I have which I don't need? The market doesn't seem like its selling well. Items on there have been listed for over 30 days......

[desert tree]

Market is kinda dead because a lot of players stoped

[hushed skiff]

I hate the market. Even a drop of spit costs more than 100k there.

🤮

[celest oak]

getting good exalted is rough but a lot of high lp legendaries are still free

[sonic saddle]

you craft every item that drops with theexalted affix you want, any amount of FP can result in the item you want with luck

[hushed skiff]

What's FP?

[sonic saddle]

forging potential...

[hushed skiff]

so these uniques and exalted I don't need I just shatter or sell to the npc then?

[celest oak]

usually you just leave them on the ground

they barely sell for anything

you can shatter if you are stil missing some shards

[hushed skiff]

ok thanks

[storm wren]

Do this bug is known? Sometimes the temporal sanctum will darker on refuge side and lighter on void side

Tons of belts but still no jungle's queen one lol

[hushed skiff]

what happens if I fail a seal?

[surreal verge]

You upgrade the affix as usual

is elemental penetration like fire penetration etc good at high corruption?

[cedar locust]

Are you improving existing Fire penetration or replacing something to get Fire penetration?

[desert tree]

Elemental Penetration and Fire Penetration are additives
Penetration is a More Dmg (50% Pen = 50% More Dmg for example)
Its good at every stage of the game

[hushed skiff]

thanks

[acoustic thicket]

Would t5 increased damage or t5 throwing attack speed be better on a ring for explosive traps? 🤔

Currently, my only source of throwing attack speed is from the bladedancer passive itself.

[icy drift]

Prob attack speed, but depends

[hushed skiff]

I took the left side for the monolithhs and have now reachh the middle where I cango to 3 different islands. Do I have to complete the right side too to finish this monolith quest?

[hushed skiff]

When we usa rune of assendence the implecits and affixes do not pass over. However is there a chance of the Uniqque that we get having LP?

[tired relic]

you only need to do last 3 and touch the stone on the middle afterwards, and enjoy the amazing cinematic

[tired relic]

yes, uniques obtained with rune of ascendance can have LP

[hushed skiff]

what are the chances? Do you know?

[tired relic]

same as when the item drops, as far as i know

[hushed skiff]

thanks

[surreal verge]

Lower than drops.

(It has an additional roll that determines if it can gain LP or not)

[hushed skiff]

so basically runes of ascendency suck then lol

[surreal verge]

It helps if you're looking for that one unique and you don't need LP right now.

[hushed skiff]

ok thanks

[vernal brook]

Is it possible to show exalted items on the minimap like uniques?

[toxic echo]

not currently

[vernal brook]

sadge. Thanks anyways

[rancid magnet]

for leveling should i try to get the gear that the maxrol lbuild suggest or anytihng will do

or wait until after lvl 10

to geat gear ineed from thebuild

from lvling build

[hushed skiff]

I used rune of asendency on a white rarity boot and it consumed 2 runes!

Is that normal?

I have the following Uniques with LP. They aren't the ones I want but should I just use them until I find the one I want? I am playing a manual cast offensive Rune Master where I use all 40 spells 😂

1. Aberrant Call - 1 LP
2. Vial of volatile ice - 1 LP
3. Strong mind - 1 LP
4. Fire starter's torch - 2 LP
5. Urzil's pride - 3 LP

[surreal verge]

Unless you need a unique's affixes, just use yellows/exalteds.

[hushed skiff]

would just using these help me clear more and reach higher corruption to actually get that wichh I want?

[storm blaze]

just a visual bug

[surreal verge]

Well, that depends.
Eg: If you actually read Aberrant Call, you'll know that it's useless for you.

[hushed skiff]

Yes but Urzil's pride for example I can actually make use of

Since it's just give stats basically

[surreal verge]

If you think you can make use of it, try it and find out.

[hushed skiff]

Hmmm!

That's a hard decision lol

[hushed skiff]

Thanks

[rancid magnet]

shouldi not worr yaobut getitng the correct gear drops

until after lvl 10

for lvl form 10 to 50

or should i jsut equip nything thats better then wha ti had atm

[surreal verge]

Unless it's a unique, no.
Campaign is pretty easy

[rancid magnet]

[hushed skiff]

Do you know how to fix this visual bug? I have changed maps and in my crafting inventory I still only see 5 runes of ascendancy 😦

[storm blaze]

Eeeh not gonna bother explaining
would need to go into details

[hushed skiff]

ok np. Thanks 🙂

[candid elm]

Yeah you're going to replace all of that leveling gear later. You mentioned a Maxroll guide, those leveling guides are designed to get your character to like 75-ish so you can switch to one of their other guides, if you've got the necessary items.

Respeccing your Skills and Passives is pretty painless in Last Epoch.

[rancid magnet]

Ok I still have a long way to go

[candid elm]

Have fun!

[rancid magnet]

thanks

[hushed skiff]

Let's say you decide to play all day and you play 8 hours or more. You are doing the last 3 islands of monolith quest. How many LP Uniques do you think you would find?

[tight girder]

Depends entirely on corruption and kill speed. Not sure what you're looking for

[hushed skiff]

0 corruption. It's still monolith quest.

[tight girder]

Corruption doesn't affect LP that much compared to area level

But your question is impossible to answer

[hushed skiff]

Area level 95

[tight girder]

You can see LP chances @ area level 100 on lastepochtools

Estimate the number of uniques you find and look there for what percentage would drop with some LP

[hushed skiff]

Ok. I'll check it out

Thanks

[sweet roost]

is anyone willing and able - has Moonlit Shrine wp in Divine Era and also I think you needed to have finished the main campaign quest Liath & Thetima to- to help me get past this wall so I can fulfill my Architect Liath prophecies =/

[stuck compass]

Is there any reason to fill the echo web stability bar to max before attempting the last boss?

[spare moon]

Any stability over the amount required carries over after you beat the boss.

[stuck compass]

Awesome. Thank you

[sonic saddle]

keep in mind those are base LP chances at area level 100. higher corr and the CoF LP chance bonus will both improve that

[sonic saddle]

unless you want to beat the boss more than once, no

[mossy path]

Hello, does anyone know of any unique for the acolyte that partially helps with mana generation?

[sonic saddle]

urzils pride can get you a good bit of mana regen

[mossy path]

tyvm

[pliant marlin]

Have they removed the Sentinel's 2x2 healing effectiveness idol affix? Can't find it in filter o.O

[cedar locust]

Not to my knowledge, let me have a check in my game

Try searching under Class Specific

[pliant marlin]

that only shows the helmet affix "level of healing hands". shouldn't it be under the idols section?

I swear I had those idols in the past but on this character I haven't found any nor can I find it in the loot filter

unless it's the same affix as under general idols.. this is the mod in LEtools right? it's the same for sentinel / primalist? https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/prefixes/AIwZgrEA

[cedar locust]

It's under General Idols

[pliant marlin]

yea guess I just need to start getting some idol prophecies... haven't found a single 2x2 idol with it yet

[cedar locust]

Idol prophecies should help! Here have this - ✨ Loot Drop Boost ✨ (single use, can be used for 1 (one) item or weapon or armour/gear, results not guaranteed) - good luck!

[pliant marlin]

thanks 😄

[lean elbow]

does this make all bleed and poison chance cause shock across all skills or just lethal mirage?

[desert tree]

Just Lethal Mirage

[surreal verge]

Skill nodes effects only apply to the skill it's tied to unless specifically stated.

[lean elbow]

yeah it usually says "from this tree" or "all sources of" this one just says "All" so i wasnt sure

[surreal verge]

"All" is basically "All sources of". (Which still only affects that skill and not other skills)

[grizzled pecan]

hello,

i still have the lost connection to the game server. anyone any advice?

Last Epoch is the only game that has this issue with losing connection, no internet issues or other things
this only happen when i enter a new world

[cedar locust]

Do you mean when you load into a new area while in game or when you load from the Character Selection screen?
