write a support ticket, send your dxdiag and LE Logfiles...And Maybe they see where the problem is...and its still the first circle after release...so not all is working flawlessly but theire still improving and im sure they getting there....but they can only fix things, they know of and they reach out really fast, so i recommend support ticket (ingame), Forums etc... 🙂

We do also have this list of things that can help, Support might also ask you to try these so it's worth doing so you can let them know if anything helped or didn't help! - https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1230894608406413412

[pliant marlin]

Fire Penetration works for Fire DoT effects too, right?

[toxic echo]

yes

[hushed skiff]

Is peak of the mountain a boss only drop?

[toxic echo]

lightless arbor boss

as with the rest of the mountain group of uniques

[hushed skiff]

Thhanks

[pliant marlin]

does flat spell damage scale this aura? how do I see the tags?

[toxic echo]

read the more information part

reeeeaaaallly carefully

😉

[pliant marlin]

increases to spell damage

does that mean flat spell damage

[toxic echo]

spell means spell. both will work on spells

[pliant marlin]

confusing! why can't it have a proper info box like for example Javelin's holy trail does?

[toxic echo]

that is a perfectly fine question...and to be honest, its likely cuz damage ros sucks and no one has used it in the entirety of its existence. lol

but, its worthy of a suggestion/report on it

it should have a pop up

do note tho, that fire aura (assuming its the same) only has added dmg effectiveness of 70%. so every 100 you add, you are really only adding 70

[pliant marlin]

this is purely rhetorical but why are there nodes for it on the skill tree if they're useless? 😂

[toxic echo]

should be the details you need

[delicate dust]

I believe It's because it's not a subskill of Ring of Shields, it's a skill belonging to the shield minions generated by Ring of Shields. So it isn't automatically linked - though do still submit a bug report and we can see if we can add it manually.

[pliant marlin]

There's no way it's the same aura right despite having the same name as the mage aura?

[sterile bane]

What’s a lore race??

[delicate dust]

What isn't a lore race?!

most things, understandably. We'll have more details leading up to the event 😉

[toxic echo]

cuz FG is really old and outdated and in need of the most help. which it is getting some passive stuff from teasers we have seen, so hopefully the skills get some love too.

it is likely not an exact carbon copy, but, excluding int, should have the same tags. its still a fire dot spell

but kain does bring up a point...its from a minion, so, you might need minion spell

[delicate dust]

Yes, it scales with minion stats. The Shield Minion does gain stats from your shield, so non-minion stats on the shield will benefit the shield minions

[pliant marlin]

so maybe some unique shield will have something for that...? normal shields can't really get relevant offensive stats I think

[regal canopy]

Will merchant rank stay when the cycle changes over? If I have to do this grind again I don't think I can keep playing lol

[delicate dust]

Light of Rahyeh for instance has increased fire damage

[delicate dust]

You will continue to benefit from progression in Legacy. The new cycle is a fresh start if you chose to participate in the cycle.

[regal canopy]

oh boy

What's the player count on legacy vs cycle?

[delicate dust]

hmm, I don't actually have those numbers on hand at the moment. We've also only had one cycle, so there's no real "historical basis for prediction".

[oblique vale]

starts doomposting anyway

[regal canopy]

thanks Kain

[pliant marlin]

so to make sure, extra spell damage for my character wouldn't help the fire aura from RoS at all?

[delicate dust]

correct

[pliant marlin]

I could get flat minion spell/melee damage on my weapon... but there's not many ways to increase the base damage I guess. unless there's something else in the RoS tree I'm not seeing

[delicate dust]

Minion base damage as a whole is fairly rare, yes. Though minion damage is generally scaled with this in mind.

[pliant marlin]

ok, I'm just wondering because I'm playing a minion build and I have some amount of minion damage on my gear etc. my other dudes are doing fine but well, they scale with my weapon instead.... the RoS aura is ticking for 18 damage in lvl 100 areas so I wonder if there's any possibility of making it viable. seems kinda challenging

[sterile bane]

So wait 2 weeks?? Too much of a tease

[toxic echo]

there are a couple increased fire dmg nodes at the end of FG tree...but thats about it for dot/fire help on the tree.

ros isnt really intended for dmg purposes as built currently

[delicate dust]

fine fine. A free hint. You'll be hunting lore.

[toxic echo]

and most FG stuff is more hit based for minions as it is, from the skills

[sterile bane]

So discovering story and trying to find things out?

[pliant marlin]

there's a node that gives "Increased Fire Damage over Time with a shield" but does that even apply to the RoS shield because of the minion thing?

[delicate dust]

As much detail as we're going into right now as in the post: The Headmasters of the College of Welryn are worried for the history of Eterra scattered throughout the land, and have reached out to you regarding recovering that knowledge.

[pliant marlin]

Walls of Solarum

[sterile bane]

So what 5lp item do we get afterwards??

[toxic echo]

im trippin, my bad

[delicate dust]

I will provide that information: As with MTX, we don't plan to offer in-game power or convenience as an event reward.

[sterile bane]

That was a joke, but thank you for stating it

[toxic echo]

no, it wouldnt

[pliant marlin]

so that part of the RoS skill tree is pretty much just filler, there's no way to actually benefit from it ingame? 😭

[toxic echo]

not to a "useable" level, no

[delicate dust]

While some nodes are designed to be investment cost nodes - such as nodes leading to transformative nodes, no node is intended to be pointless. If you feel something is lacking available usage, please do provide that as feedback.

[toxic echo]

get enough flat minion spell on weapon, and enough minion dmg, maybe. but it wont ever match your normal minions

[pliant marlin]

I guess it's better I try to find another skill to use instead. I sent a report ingame about the missing info box and another about the uselessness 😄

[toxic echo]

its fine for defense...you get tons of armour, block, and healing, and projectile blocking

[desert tree]

Maybe you take RoS cast on cursor instead of you, that way you can overlap all the Auras

[pliant marlin]

ah, should've tried that maybe

[desert tree]

Or take the node in shield bash to make a line

Maybe

[dire flower]

What is the best use for all those runes of ascendence? I already had like 10 when I reached 50 on my first character, but I never used them so far. Any specific things I have to be aware of to get higher chances for something or is it really pure RNG independent of everything?

[pliant marlin]

it's all RNG as far as I know, doesn't depend on character level or anything, or even your class

[desert tree]

Pure rng, same as a drop but lower chance of lp

[pliant marlin]

good ideas, I didn't even think about those. my initial disappointment was too strong. I already moved to greater things like full Sunforged Set and blasting the Shade with Smelter's Wrath 😄 seems okay at 100 corruption

[dire flower]

Thanks, so just visit any vendor, get a few dozen items of the type of unique I want and praying to the rng gods then 😄

[pliant marlin]

pretty much

[abstract hill]

is there a tier list for builds?

[pliant marlin]

you can probably find some online but it isn't that important in this game in my experience... most things will work atleast at low corruption levels

[toxic echo]

maxroll has some, but its mostly just listing their builds and opinions. there are plenty more that can do what their builds can do

[pliant marlin]

maxroll actually does the tier lists pretty well for this game by providing multiple tier lists... pushing corruption / speed farming / survivability / etc

my current build isn't even on maxroll and I'm blasting at 120 corruption... I don't even have the patience to play one build much higher than that

[toxic echo]

yeah, thats what i was getting at. just cuz a build isnt on their list, doesnt mean its not playable

[pliant marlin]

yeah. there's lots of variety in this game and you can quite easily make your own build if you can make somewhat coherent choices when it comes to picking passives and skills

[toxic echo]

yup

[pliant marlin]

atleast at 100 corruption.. and I wonder what percentage of players even care about pushing corruption so high

[toxic echo]

from what the devs have said, a large majority of players dont even get to empowered

much less push it

[abstract hill]

i was running at 700 with my sparks claw runemaster. Just wondering if there are better builds to keep pushing 1k+ or higher

[hushed skiff]

Does exp bonus in monolith affect weaver's will or is the purely just influenced by kill numbers?

[desert tree]

WW have 1% chance on kill with 15 sec CD to consume 1 potential and get an affix tier

[hushed skiff]

Ohhhh ok. Thanks

I am using the runes of ascendence on white rarity items. Am I doing it wrong?

[pliant marlin]

doesn't matter

[hushed skiff]

ook thhanks

[vocal plank]

If I'm using enchant weapon with elemental nova while wearing The Ashen Crown, does it trigger around me like Righteous fire when you have enchant weapon trigger EN or does it go on your cursor? I assume cursor but idk.

[hushed skiff]

I completed the monolith from the left side while not touchhing the right side at all. I deafeted the boss in all 3 end islands and touched the thing in the center whhich allows me to corruption. Now what?

Does the main quest/side quests not continue?

[vocal plank]

Why did you choose left and not right?

[toxic echo]

main quest is done yeah. welcome to the end game

[hushed skiff]

left had all the drop rates and I didn't need the right side because I was clearing just fine.

Bah! So EGH legit just left us on a cliff hanger.... X_X

[vocal plank]

You want the right side over the left side. Those stats are allot more important than you think

[hushed skiff]

I can do the right side now I guess haha

[vocal plank]

Basically getting the stat bonuses for your blessings is arguably better than the drop rates. If you're playing Circle of fortune you can get the drops pretty consistantly even without drop rate increases. And if you're merchant's guild you can probably buy the item, or at least close enough

[hushed skiff]

I am MG. Buying Items from market Is a dream thhat is very far away. The favor Requirements are so high I can't buy exalted. Only exalted weapons.

oh and cannot buy uniques either 🙂

So since I just completed monoliths now. What do I do now. Do I farm corruption until I cannot continue and then go dungeons or do I start withh dungeons?

[vocal plank]

Do your right side monos

Get stats that make sense for your build on your blessings. Don't worry about dungeons

[hushed skiff]

ok

ty

[vocal plank]

I think for me, when the new cycle starts I'm not going to have the issue of not having anything to play, but instead I'm going to have to choose which cool build I want to theorize and build

Is LEPlanner accurate on the skills it does do the damage calcs for

[faint cape]

Almost definitely, assuming of course that you've configured all the appropriate stuff/conditions/etc.

[idle wave]

Are the bonuses from Divine Essence on the paladin passive tree multiplicative?

[vocal plank]

It's just ele nova on the support RM I'm making. No idea if 20k dps on a support build is good or not though

Beause while it's support I still want to be able to kill trash on my own so I can help the person I'm supporting

[faint cape]

They are all increased/reduced effects, each stack is additive with other stacks and all other increased/reduced armor, heal effect, and received stun duration.

[faint cape]

Not much idea either since DPS is kinda intentionally vague usually. Sounds fine to help with clearing, at least.

[vocal plank]

That's my thoughts as well. And since it's HC I pretty much dumped as much as I could into defense as I could because dying is bad.
Only 26K EHP against its lowest resistance but that's whatever. I need to optimize it because right now it has no armor, no dodge, and is basically just stacking ward and flat DR

It's just my first RM and I don't want to accidently use anything that's super busted because RM has a few of those

[vocal plank]

Enchant weapon's node Burst of fire doesn't specify with a melee attack. Does that mean spells will trigger it on a 2 second CD

[forest python]

Hi! I just started playing Blade dancer, however the blade dancer skills are greyed out, and im unable to use them when they are on my hotbar- i have a melee weapon equiped, so why cant i use the ability?

[vocal plank]

Alright first. Have you gotten to the masteries yet

[forest python]

yes! i am level 20 and unlocked the blade dancer from the old man a few levels ago

[vocal plank]

AH that's your issue.

[forest python]

?

[vocal plank]

So you unlock the skills as you put points into the tree. So at 5 you'll unlock the first skill on the tree. Then 15

[forest python]

yeah! i have 5 points in it so far

and i cant use shadow cascade or dancing strike

the game allows me to specialize those skills though

im just not allowed to use them for reasons i dont understand

[vocal plank]

Are you dual wielding

[forest python]

nope

[vocal plank]

Read the first line of shadow

When you hover over it

As well as Dancing strikes

[forest python]

oh my god

thank you

also goddamnit i have to spec points into dual weild then right?

[vocal plank]

No problem.
We're gamers. We don't read, we just blast.

Yes.

[forest python]

okay time to respec some passive points lmao thank you so much

[vocal plank]

But that's one point. So you don't have to do much. It's the first thing you can put points into once you get 5 points into the original tree

[forest python]

amazing
also goddamnit they should just give us that node then or make the text bigger

[faint cape]

Right, any hit can proc it

[deft cedar]

halp i don't have singulator equipped

[icy drift]

Visual bug just relog

[vocal plank]

"chance to cast fire aura on kill with fire skills"
Does fire aura count because technically you're not casting it directly

[icy drift]

Not sure it counts as a skill but maybe, should be pretty easy to test

It probably does count

[vocal plank]

Yea I'll test it, I just
A. Don't have a mage
B. Never played mage far enough to even possibly have the gear because I just don't enjoy the build type.
But RF

[icy drift]

Oh don't get your hopes up, it's zpds

You can kinda clear trash with it at best

And even that is a struggle

[half grotto]

hello everyone, will the characters remain offline in the new patch, or can they continue to play in the new season?

[vocal plank]

Probably true but I test things because I find trying things fun, not because they're good

[surreal verge]

They will stay however: Offline stays in offline, online stays in online. Cycle chars get sent into legacy.

[half grotto]

what do you mean by the expression: Cycle chars get sent into legacy?

[surreal verge]

Do you know what are cycle and legacy chars?

[half grotto]

will the old character be playable in the new season or not? ))

[surreal verge]

Yes, under legacy. New content update will be apply to both Cycle and Legacy for until 1.4 at least

[karmic merlin]

anyone playing in Cycle and would like to give me some hand in with little gears for melee build? Playing paladin, lvl 20 atm

[grand shoal]

I'm not sure how we can help, you want gear, or you want advice what gear to look for?

[last brook]

Idk if he realises yet you can't just trade any gear.

[last brook]

You need to duo with someone. Only people in pt can share loot so you gotta lvl with someone or ask for a boost in monos

[grand shoal]

For the first: That is not possible. You can only share gear if:

• both have a certain level in Merchants Guild (MG)
• both play a long time togehter and have rare resonaces
• or if you play together you can share what drops in that session

[hushed skiff]

I finished the monolith and got every blessing. What do I do now? Do I push corruption until I can't clear anymore and then go dungeon or do I go dungeon first?

[toxic echo]

monolith to get all grand blessings you want. sprinkle in dungeons when need for gear and/or upgrades and/or when bored with monolith grind

but thats pretty much the game right now

[hushed skiff]

ok thanks

||When we go to fight lagon in the monolith do we ever fight liath or does she just go away regardless of our dialogue choice?||

[storm blaze]

If you pick the 2nd option you fight Liath

[wicked siren]

Does "melee fire damage(flat)" scale with skill that have " physical " and "melee" tags? In this case "shadow dagger"?

[last brook]

I'd like to say no but not 100% sure. It would scale with melee and fire tags for sure. I think physical can also be for raged attacks like bow

[vocal plank]

There is a very specific thing you're saying there. There are two tags you're referring to.
Melee and fire.
Because neither of those are physical it will not scale of phys but will scale off melee

[surreal verge]

For flats:It will apply if the skill type(melee/bow/spell) matches.

[desert tree]

Your shadow Daggers will now inflict Melee Fire Dmg (that will be scaled by Increase Fire and Increase Melee) on top of the regular Melee Phys Dmg

[prime patio]

Can someone explain to me if %increased armor affects only the item it is on? For instance if a body armor has %increased armor on it it will only increase the amount of armor that item gives or it applies to the armor of all your items combined?

[oblique vale]

all of it

[surreal verge]

All of it, there’s only one local item affix in LE and it’s stated very clearly

[rustic rivet]

how come i have 1 skill pt but cant add into this

[surreal verge]

Do you perhaps have a unique belt? (Thronslinger)

[rustic rivet]

yes i do

means i get extra pt

but i don understand why i cant pump the skill i am showing

[surreal verge]

Because it’s a physical skill

[rustic rivet]

so i jus pick smth else den

tyvm

[surreal verge]

If you put that point in, since 100% of physical is converted to lightning, it is not a physical skill anymore, and thus you’ll lose the point

So the game locks you out of it

[rustic rivet]

i see

[cedar locust]

A neat little system, if not immediately obvious as to what's happening

https://tenor.com/view/hhgf-gif-25031041

Took me so long to find my gif ...

Couldnt write "excited" properly

[fading wave]

" Exited " ... the most common typo

[desert tree]

"excutif " is what I wrote initially

Its been a long day

[cedar locust]

I believe one of the most common typos (in this server) is Dongeon xD

[desert tree]

...
How do you spell it ??

[cedar locust]

Dungeon

[desert tree]

Oo

I guess I mixed it with the French "Donjon"

[cedar locust]

That's fair, though it is something we've taken into account when planning the updates for the word filters - it makes me giggle every time it gets flagged 😅

[desert tree]

One that confuses me is "Enemy/Enemies"

French takes 2 N and Single is Ennemi

With a i

[cedar locust]

Ah, this is the English rule of (some) words ending with a 'y' swap to 'ies' when they become plural

[zealous orchid]

What are some sweet Unique items combos u noticed?

[desert tree]

Snowdritft / Frosbite Shackles / Frozen Ire

Lvling with Firestarter/ Calamity/ Soulfire feels so good too

[zealous orchid]

But what do they do together lol if u remember

[desert tree]

This is the Frostbite Combo

Snowdrift gives Cold Pen per FRM
Shackles gives some Chance to Apply Frostbite on hit (amongst other thing)
Frozen Ire gives extra Cold Hit and FRM

[desert tree]

Ignite ++++ And Spreading Flame

[vocal plank]

Just favorite the gif

https://tenor.com/view/dance-dancing-duck-duck-shuba-duck-hey-ya-gif-22806014

[hushed skiff]

after completing the monoliths to be able to do corruption what did you guys do? Did you all start doing corrupted monoliths straights away?

[storm blaze]

If I could farm them, yes

[hushed skiff]

What would you do if you couldn't?

[blazing stone]

you should be able too...if i could not, i would look at my stats, my build and see whats needed.....getting the gear, low blessings, maybe level or passives to grind the corruption until a sweetspot between speed and loot/exp 🙂

[hushed skiff]

thhanks

[gaunt vale]

What time does 1.1 drop? I know the date is July 9, but have they said a time?

[faint cape]

No, but it's fairly safe to assume on or about 11:00 am central time

[carmine atlas]

is it safe to assume that the faction ranks wont carry over next season

too lazy to get mg rank 10 now lol

[storm blaze]

Correct, they will not carry over

[hushed skiff]

Invocation Spell Realms of Mayhem has DMG effectiveness of 300% for lightning and other elements hhave 250%. Is this correct or a typing error?

[hollow pebble]

Hei, does corruption also increases the chance of more LP on a item ?

[icy drift]

Yes, slightly

[hollow pebble]

I was wondering if it's worth it to push the corruption to 500+.. 300 is easy for me but 500+ i die a lot... ^^ if I'm right 300 should be enough to cover all drops and prophecies?!

[icy drift]

Correct for drops and i think so for prophecies too. And yes you shouldn't go past where you're comfortable

[hollow pebble]

@icy drift thanks for your help 🙂

[icy drift]

Of course ^^

[desert tree]

Correct

[hushed skiff]

thanks

Does thhe 3 seconds of stun immunity after teleport stack if I have multiple of these idols?

[hushed skiff]

I am doing 100 corruption frost and death monolith. When I have bonuses where item rarity is increased by more than 80% should I just complete the whole map or just do objective and move on?

[icy drift]

Usually you want to just go towards the objective and kill things along the way

[icy drift]

Think so? not 100% sure though

[hushed skiff]

Should I try my luck? I need it to take both prefixes.

I don't need this legendary though. But the stats on it are usefull but it isn't the one I am looking for.

[storm blaze]

You can't try your luck because the item isn't exalted.

[obtuse umbra]

Is there anything that can be done about frequent server disconnects when alt-tabbing?

[desert tree]

Not alt tabbing? 🤯

[obtuse umbra]

well that's simply not possible

[last brook]

only windowed mode i guess

[obtuse umbra]

I have borderless window mode on.

[hushed skiff]

I do not have this issue. Maybe try changing your settings, validate steam files etc. If all else fails then contact support.

[tacit nebula]

When using Firebrand with the Incinerate node and Shatterstrike with the Whiteout node, do the second and third hits from shatterstrike also get the buff?

does 144% penetration mean i would deal more damage with shadow dagger?

[desert tree]

If you have no other sources of Penetration your SD will deal 144% More Phys Dmg

[minor frigate]

can i get a class recommendation? im looking for something with tons of AOE + screen clear

[misty pasture]

Rogue -> Dive Bomb build

[minor frigate]

👍 sounds good i'll give it a shot

[misty pasture]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzn6pU90ayM&t=45s&ab_channel=MattjesticMultiGaming

[vocal plank]

Isn't that a bugged build leon?

[desert tree]

Most likely, either bugged or using an unintended interaction(s)

[vocal plank]

Yea. So if you're going to play that build @minor frigate I would make sure nothing is bugged because that's how you have something get fixed or nerfed and break your whole build

[misty pasture]

Oh yeah, it is for sure

Dive bomb alone its so overtuned

Another suggestion, that one i'd it myself and its fun and easy to play

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FRL3YEL_vw&ab_channel=FrozenSentinel

[vocal plank]

I assume the person asking for build recommendations is new to the game, and possibly all of ARPGs. Recommending a build that is possibly broken can hurt their desire to try other things, and once that gets fixed, kill their whole desire to play this kind of game as a whole

[misty pasture]

I got to 1000cr kinda easy

[vocal plank]

I was reffering to the other build.

[hushed skiff]

I am have enough Stability to do thhe boss of my 100 corruption monolith. If I do the boss does the corruption increase? What happens to my current blessing? Do I Get to keep my current blessing or does it go away?

[minor frigate]

i'll keep that in mind, thanks

yeah i'm basically looking for "vampire survivors"-level screen clear (or as close as possible)

[toxic echo]

no, only orobyss increases corr. you get to choose again, just like any other blessing roll

game guide has some good info for you on blessings and corruption and how it works

[vocal plank]

Frost claw mage is good for that but it can take allot of investment.
Dreadful has a build for it on his channel if you're interested

[hushed skiff]

I mean what happens to the bless I currently have equiped?

according to the game guide it seems my current blessing disappears.

[fading wave]

You can have 1 of each timeline specific blessing. If you defeat a boss , you can choose to keep the blessing or chose a new one

[faint cape]

Correct, new replaces old

[hushed skiff]

thanks

[quiet terrace]

Is there a dedicated fanpage/forum where all the teases from Mike’s stream are collected ?

[desert tree]

Andrew Tilley on the official forum use to keep a post updated

Don't Know if they still do that

I can dm them to you (it's mostly skill nodes and passives

[safe sky]

Aaron rpg had a video recently that summarized all the teases up until about a week ago

[quiet terrace]

Sure that would be nice !

Thank you both of you. I know patch notes are coming soon but it’s always nice to see some teasers

[muted fractal]

Does it now ? It's like 3 weeks left untill 9th

I even started valheim run today still have last biom to do I guess

when you get bored of monolith grind / when you need the boss uniques / when you need to make a legendary / what you have 4-5 million gold and want to gamble it in arbor / when the daily mod is good to farm a certain exalted type

like i click them, the icon goes darkish, but no usage/no cd

i can still do defensives though

need to restart game to make it work

any thoughts?

just happened twice in heorot fight...

think it's following some lag

[whole radish]

The grey symbols. Are they physical and bleeding? Im asking this bc im not seeing no bleed (nor poison if thats the case) in the skill tree

[desert tree]

Phys and Poison

[whole radish]

Guess its a bug. It only finds the nod if i search in english (my game it is in porguese)

thanks

[upbeat imp]

Another thing:
When you accept a few prophecies relevant to dungeons

[whole radish]

Is it really bad if i put two different kind of dmg in my build? Like fire and necrotic, since skill scale with both. Or should i "all win" in one type only

[buoyant sinew]

it's usually a bad idea. Fire and necrotic can work though because there is so much support for scaling both, between warlock and all the unique items

[cobalt raft]

is gamblers fallacy still disabled?

[storm blaze]

Yes

[hollow pebble]

Hei, can someone maybe tell me the base life of the summon wraith minion? Could only found the stats he get per level/intelligence...

#got it 😉

[prime patio]

Does mark of rot work with time lord?

I don't think it shouldn't work but I am curious about the interaction

[surreal verge]

Why wouldn't it? They don't interact with each other?

[prime patio]

I was thinking that since you are no longer sending enemies back in time and back to the present (since it is now casted around you) it wouldn't work

This being a weird way I saw this

[surreal verge]

It still does, gaining the time bubble doesn't stop the time sending. You still send enemies around forward in time on cast, the time bubble is an additional effect.

It never said that it would stop sending enemies forward in time, unlike this node:

[prime patio]

Thanks for the explanation!

[ancient dagger]

are they making any changes to the trading system next season?

[oblique vale]

there are likely changes to the MG faction, but we don't know much yet

[hushed skiff]

is there a website or something where I can check the dungeon mods for the day? Also what time does it reset?

[storm blaze]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/dungeons

[hushed skiff]

thanks

[hushed skiff]

When doing Temporal sanctum there is always only be 2 doors with modifier choice righht?

[sonic saddle]

yes

[hushed skiff]

Thanks

[random perch]

is it bad idea to filter normal affix shards?

feel like i have a ton i won't use

[sleek ruin]

if u have time to tweak u may try this one from dev https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1230894608406413412
this past 4days i was pushing arena and i was having random disconnect on loading screen, cant even reach 1kwave,,till i applied the guide on the video except the drivereasy one..also put fullscreen and streamer mode..
also i triend rerun on arena today still there random disconnect...but if ur not arena pusher u may try the video guide.

[muted epoch]

Word I’ll try.. idk what’s going on. Repaired the download files too

[storm wren]

The second page for keys only close to fill because of overwhelming temporal sanctum keys lol

I'm prefer storing them instead of consuming them

[rough shuttle]

Curious.. how long till next cycle?

[pliant marlin]

July 9th is the date

[quick crown]

if i wanted to try to make a poison build with the "Plague Bearer's Staff" which class/skill would scale the damage the most efficient of them all? (i know poison damage is lacking compared to other DOT's, i just wanna try to do something with it)

[bright cove]

hello, currenltly playing through the campain. What am i supposed to do here?

it says i have to take an elevator, however i cannot find any elevator

[desert tree]

Primalist or Acolyte have poison synergy
Rogue too but they don't use staves too well

[storm blaze]

Also Rogue has no spells

[quick crown]

there is no cap or diminishing returns with damage penetration right?

[sonic saddle]

linear scaling like increased

[surreal verge]

Poison has too much pen and no method to push it's flat-

[desert tree]

We miss you increased effect

[whole radish]

Can someone help me understand why its showing recolor of stuffs that is suppose to be hidden? The hidden gear appear if they have the stat i put to recolor

[faint cape]

What are you hading in your rule and what do you actually see?

[whole radish]

For instance, i want to hide shields but i want to change the color of necrotic dmg. If a shield drops i dont want to see it. However im seeing the shield with diferent color

[sonic saddle]

for BM at least the issue is that you really don't have good ailment application

none of BM's skills that have built in ailment application actually hit very often

it also doesn't help that poison has trash unique weapon support

[surreal verge]

Right?

[sonic saddle]

also sustain becomes an issue

[quick crown]

this is my attempt at a poison build, still not sure how effective it is at applying poison stacks, it should be somewhat tanky though

[quick crown]

its mainly using ctonic fissure to apply the poison

its a rough draft, so def. not optimised

[faint cape]

Are you specifically hiding shields in the hide rule?

[idle forum]

Whats the current top build/s?

[quick crown]

shields? you mean the ward? no ive just not set the expected ward

or if you meant actual shield you block with, the staff is 2-handed, so you cant use it with a shield

if i use this webpage i see that i get around 2K stable ward with the gear i have above
https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ward

[faint cape]

No, I was replying to a way earlier post and my internet just decided to send it lol

[quick crown]

ah, i see

[quick crown]

if my math is correct this build should be dealing about 355 damage per poison stack (not accounting for the poison res shred from the first 30 stacks) and each stack lasts at least 64% longer than normal

[sonic saddle]

how many stacks does it look like it builds?

[surreal verge]

salt the wound

[quick crown]

im not sure, it uses Ctonic Fissure with 70% increased spirit frequency, which also have this upgrade node
as for poison chance, its got about 400% from all sources, so it should be putting at least 4 stacks per second on them

[quick crown]

for poison penetration

[surreal verge]

You don't NEED anymore.

[quick crown]

does it have diminishing returns or a cap?

if not, then why not?

[surreal verge]

No cap, but Pen has diminishing returns as per normal pen rules.

[sonic saddle]

linear returns

[surreal verge]

Poison itself gives you 150/60%, poison overload gives you another 100% assuming you have 50 stacks.

That's 250%/160% already.

Since you're using Soul Feast+Profane Veil, Mortality would see much much more use.

[sonic saddle]

mortality's grasp?

bro that's just giving less pen

[surreal verge]

We're using it not for pen, but for the fact that along with soul feast and profane, poison stacks will always spread.

[sonic saddle]

...what are you using it for?

wait what

what item are we talking about?

cos mortality's grasp is just marked for death, health and a ward on low health thing

[surreal verge]

Marked for Death.

[sonic saddle]

is just 25% all shred

that's all it is

[surreal verge]

This and Soul Feast's Curse requirement.

[sonic saddle]

ooooh

okay yeah

[surreal verge]

(Which means Bone Curse isn't required!)

[sonic saddle]

that's kinda insane

poison proliferation be kinda nutty

[surreal verge]

Also, if you're worried about appling stacks, You got Fissure:

[quick crown]

im using bone curse mainly for the extra curse on the enemy, which gives me extra damage reduction and armor but also to get Bone Armor buff

[surreal verge]

With this node and a Plaguebearer, You have 200+ (4x250%) chance per second if the enemy is on the fissure.
12 stacks per second.
Take triple fissure and set them in different directions, and you can get 36 stacks per second on a boss.

[quick crown]

i also have an extra 30% chance to poison from a warlock passive (Vile Tide)

[surreal verge]

That's within the 250%

[quick crown]

it doesnt change much, but its a little more

[surreal verge]

Wait, why are you running contagion when you're already using soul feast?

Wait, are you using Grand Imprint JUST for the Fraility?

[quick crown]

no, i reasoned such that if its a cone area in front of me it would stretch further ahead than just a circle around me
but also for frailty

[surreal verge]

It's not just a circle.
It's a mega circle.
It hits OFFSCREEN.

[quick crown]

i see, then ill remove that

[surreal verge]

It's only reason it's not broken is that it has a target cap.

(13)

There's a node that can push it to 19 targets per cast.

And with Another Strife, Soul Feast will only run out of targets if everything is dead.

[frigid wraith]

for 1.1, is this a new cycle meaning we are starting new characters? or are we able to do 1.1 pinnacle with current chars?

[quick crown]

i assume its a new cycle, so new characters

[frigid wraith]

sweet, ty

wasnt sure if cycles were every 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, etc. or what

[quick crown]

how long time does chtonic fissure last?

[surreal verge]

6 seconds by default.

[quick crown]

okay, so the upper limit of poison stacks you can apply with chtonic fissure is 66 then, and an average damage of roughly 23.4K poison damage per chtonic Fissure

not counting the poison shred from the first 30 stacks

[surreal verge]

Not even considering the 56% poison duration increase?

[quick crown]

at least with the current gear and stats i have on the build atm

[quick crown]

i have this already accounted for

12 stacks per second and i manage to increase poison duration to 5.5 seconds per stack

[surreal verge]

Oh yeah that's indeed 66 peak from a single fissure, not including spirit hits.

[quick crown]

yeah

and i have around 70% increased spirit frequency

[surreal verge]

Makes it cast every 0.23 seconds instead of 0.4 (Avg)

[tacit nebula]

hii I'm new, is this lootfilter okay?

[surreal verge]

You can combine the three show all X rariry items.

[tacit nebula]

would they be the same colours if I put them as one?

[pliant marlin]

they would have their normal different drop colours unless you recolor them

also I think all items are shown by default so those rules don't really do anything without some Hide rules

[surreal verge]

Correct,unlike other games, LE lootfilter hides nothing by default.

[pliant marlin]

this my typical lvl 10-30 lootfilter, hides all normal/magic items, emphasizes a couple affixes like move speed and rare class specific stuff, hides all weapon types I don't care about and hides items that are only for other classes (except unique/set/exalted)

[tacit nebula]

ah okay, is this good?

[toxic echo]

you would be hiding all rares, which isnt speciifically a good thing

[sonic saddle]

this accounting for all damage modifiers besides the poison pen? (tho we should count that)

because that seems... low

like rather low

to give some context, scorp nova generally gets to ~27k damage per nova poison

[tacit nebula]

I've updated to include experimental, personal, and skill affix items
I'm not sure what personal affixes are but I'll find out :)

[sonic saddle]

and typically delivers ~11.6 novas per poison

that's pre-pen numbers as well

plus the scorpion's melee poisons

each of which is ~10.5k per poison

[quick crown]

i did the math manually by accounting for all Poison damage % stats plus about 100% poison pen (you can get more than that) but not accounting for the poison res shred of the first 30 stacks. i took 30 damage per stack and then multiplied by the % increase listed in the stat sheet

[sonic saddle]

28 damage per stack

[quick crown]

but i just noticed there is a listed flat damage in the character sheet as well

[sonic saddle]

ignore that

[quick crown]

right

[surreal verge]

The poison res shred is basically a more % under the same % as poison pen.

[sonic saddle]

hmmm

it's a seperate increased bucket

essentially

you total up all your res reduction

scorp nova generally gets 250/160 res reduction total

but yeah, 23.4k total poison damage worth of stacks over a 6 second period is... not great

lemme do some math....

[quick crown]

so 28 x 6.52 = 182.56 (since i have 652% increased poison damage)
then 100% poison pen
182.56 x 2 = 365.12 (im assuming it doubles the damage)
then 365.12 x 12 applications per second multiplied by 5.5 seconds
(3.65.12 x 12) x 5.5 = 24K

[sonic saddle]

more damage multis

[surreal verge]

28 x 7.52 instead.

[toxic echo]

personal affixes are just one time only campaign drops. mostly not worth doing anything with tbh

[sonic saddle]

there should be some node that gives you more damage multis on fissure

that applies to poison

[quick crown]

i think that's accounted for already?

[sonic saddle]

that won't take into account the more multis on fissure specifically

oh

oh it doesn't have any

in your build

[surreal verge]

Death from Below is the only one that would apply I think

[sonic saddle]

oh that's scuffed

[quick crown]

i was just about to say that i dont have any

[sonic saddle]

eradication works

and death from below

[quick crown]

that becomes about 27.79 K

[sonic saddle]

is there any other significant damage contributors in the build?

or is the vast majority from poison stacks

[surreal verge]

I THINK fissure would be the only one other than poison.

[quick crown]

vast majority is from poison stacks afaik

i do have plague in there and some other necrotic DOT's but those wouldnt be able to compete

btw @surreal verge you said multiplied by 4 for this one right?, but the node actually also gives +200% extra, so wouldnt that be times 6?

since it gets converted to poison by the node right next to it

[surreal verge]

It's 200% + (Your poison chance x4)

Your NORMAL poison chance gives nothing to fissure without Mantle of Flames. (only spirits are affected by it)

[sonic saddle]

yeeeeah this is definitely pretty lacking in terms of damage. obviously i'm comparing to a build which is basically meta for its mastery, but BM is one of the more balanced classes

[quick crown]

Valley of defilement converts all ignite chance to poison chance, and Mantle of flame adds another +200% ignite chance per second

[sonic saddle]

scorp nova can reasonably be putting out 5mil total poison damage

in 6 seconds

[surreal verge]

Correct. But you start at 0% poison/ignite chance per second.

[sonic saddle]

to a single target

pre-resist reduction

and scorp nova is a kinda average bosser

[quick crown]

0%? why? i have 250% from gear so 250% from gear, plus 200% from mantle of flames times 4?

[surreal verge]

Your 250% from gear doesn't apply.
Fissure itself doesn't HIT, and so cannot take the default 250%

It gains your gear's poison chance via Mantle of Flames, which becomes 1000%

[sonic saddle]

....spirits can hit tho

[surreal verge]

So 200% from Mantle itself + 1000% from Mantle's conversion from your gear.

[surreal verge]

Yes, but we're talking about the fissure itself, not spirits.

[quick crown]

it gains 400% of my poison chance then adds another 200% on top of that

[sonic saddle]

ahk

[surreal verge]

(Mantle doesn't affect spirits)

[surreal verge]

Correct.

[quick crown]

right, now i see

[sonic saddle]

ah right

but goddamn i ran the numbers and realised my scorpions melee poisons are contributing half of my single target damage lol

[surreal verge]

I remembered something that might help but realized it's just a single super poison stack so nevermindddd

(it's acid skin)

[quick crown]

well, 27.8k (almost) total poison damage per fissure is what i can manage with a rough draft build, idk how much more i can optimise it

[surreal verge]

Fun fact:Did you know Acid skin is the only damaging curse that DOESNT have a spell tag?

My rage about poison is pure and absolute.

[sonic saddle]

i remember seeing a boss 1shot poison warlock build but it think it's in the same vein as the 1 shot serpent strike build'

[surreal verge]

I would like to see the tech for it tbh

Since the best we have is "haha funny triple fissure causing 100+ poison stacks in 3 seconds"

[Which will spread like wildfire tbh, but single target is ZZZ]

[sonic saddle]

scorp nova remains only good poison build

[surreal verge]

It's godlike for clear tbh, but it has jack and all for single target.

Honestly I think skele rogues would have better single target

[merry torrent]

skele rogues poison pretty hard, but not a ton of item support for minion poison

[sonic saddle]

yeah

[whole radish]

May be a dumb question, but why "+ward per second" increase my total ward instead of just giving me ward every second?

[faint cape]

Those two are the same thing, since you lose a % of your current ward per second, getting more flat ward per second leaves you with more total ward when you are sitting around

[buoyant sinew]

think of it as "the more ward you have, the faster you lose ward" and it becomes a bit more clear. if you're generating more ward, the amount at which the generation rate and the decay rate balance out goes up

[whole radish]

Oh, so its a balance point, gaining x and losing x, so it reamains stable. This?

[buoyant sinew]

yeah

so the more ward per second you're gaining, the higher the stable point gets

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ward if you want to mess around with numbers

[whole radish]

Oh thanks. BTW do ppl build ward OR health... or is it ok to build a bit of both?

[buoyant sinew]

usually people just build ward because ward is OP right now. the next patch in a couple of weeks is meant to have a lot of balance here so we'll have to see what happens

the reasons to build health and ward are basically just if you're a build using either Twisted Heart, or the Exsanguinous/Last Steps of the Living/experimented gloves package, both of which give ward based on your health. but you're not a health build in either case, you're just happening to get a bit of health to scale your ward generation

[whole radish]

But where do ppl get ward? I see plent of it on passives and skills but its hard to find afixes on gear

[buoyant sinew]

passives and skills are often enough to get insane ward

those specific items I mentioned above can also help a lot

[whole radish]

hmm going to check!

[buoyant sinew]

then you just need lots of ward retention, which is the stat that slows down the rate at which ward decays.

conveniently, intelligence grants 4% increased ward retention per point, so getting as much intelligence as possible is often a goal for ward builds (especially since you can often scale a few other things off intelligence too)

[whole radish]

Hmmm thanks for the tips, going to start changing my mix of health and ward for ward only i guess. Makes more room for other afixes

[buoyant sinew]

yeah, one of the big problems with building both health and ward right now is that endurance only applies to health, not ward. but health survivability scales really efficiently with endurance% and feels weak without it. so using both health and ward is wasteful

[whole radish]

But do builds usualy put Endurance stats on their builds or you are saying this due to the standard 20% endurance from health?

[native sail]

Health builds usually do want to cap endurance, yes. It's capped at 60%

[whole radish]

good to know

[sonic saddle]

yeah this combined with the fact there's no real diminishing returns on ward means if you're going partially into ward there's not really a real reason to not go fully into ward

[signal hearth]

any way to look for discords with players to voice chat with?

[surreal verge]

#💽┃server-share

[potent epoch]

are there alternative ways to get the cosmetic items which are normally twitch-drops?

None currently

Is there something bugged in LE planner when it comes to Ravens' Rise & Artor's Legacy? I have a beast master I'm building and the spriggan I have is getting +4 but all my other companions/minions aren't getting the +2 from the gloves

[storm blaze]

Yeaa there's something with spriggan, I think Mike has explained it previously in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs but I'm cooking so not gonna go look for it

[vocal plank]

It should though right? Because companions have the "Minion" tag

I really should have thought of that

[winter flume]

question for frost claw build. is freeze rate multiplier really better than cold dmg? sorry im still on my 3rd day on the game. thank you

[cedar locust]

Freeze Rate Multiplier increases the chances that a enemy will be 'frozen' - they cannot move or use skills, but does not do damage. Most Cold skills have 'freeze rate'.

Increased Cold Damage will increase the amount of Cold Damage, but not increase Freeze Rate chance.

It's incredibly difficult to Freeze Bosses, so it would depend what you're wanting to make easier.

[vocal plank]

I will say. If something is frozen it's like another layer of defense.

[cedar locust]

True, I stacked Stun on my build which is similar to Freeze so most non-Boss mobs aren't an issue. Bosses though 😅

[surreal verge]

That cold damage is one affix worth at best, so....

[vocal plank]

Bosses are supposed to be hard. And it's just like Bone Shatter. Stunning is going to be harder because if you could just stun lock a boss that would be meta

[cedar locust]

Oh I agree! I enjoy my build, no complaints about Boss mechanics when it comes to freezing/stunning - it sets them apart and provides that 'boss level' difficulty jump.

My run up to Majasa was stand still, stun and kill. Majasa however was a lot of 'Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah! drop a Ballista Aaaaaaaaah runningrunningrunning! Aha - spam Flurry, pick up potions, redrop Ballistae and now, Aaaaaaaaaah runningrunningrunning' 🤣

[vocal plank]

I go for tank over damage everyday. I hate dying so I pretend I'm HC for the most part

As long as I don't make a Quin build I'm fine

[last brook]

Pretty sure the freezer rate is more worth unless you're already at something like 500% or more total.
my ice swarmblade stacks freeze multi over cold dmg where possible

[vocal plank]

Yea defense layers over damage imo.

[last brook]

That yeah but not what I meant. For example if using snowdrift boots i think they give cold pen per % of freeze rate
So that 300 could equal to more than 100% cold dmg depending on where and how it's used

[vocal plank]

2% Cold Penetration with Frostbite per 10% Freeze Rate Multiplier

Copy pasted from the item.

[last brook]

Yeye so in this case the freeze rate much more worth

[vocal plank]

Do you know if that works with frostbite from other sources? Like say, warcry totem? 👀

[last brook]

Yeah it works from all sources that give more frostbite

[vocal plank]

Oooo, I gotta test that because Pvt.Vlad and I were working on a frostbite warcry totem build a good while ago

[surreal verge]

As long as you apply the frostbite yes. (Doesn't work on minions)

[last brook]

I mean I would check it before committing I'm not 100% sure xD

[vocal plank]

So it doesn't work with the totem then. :/

[surreal verge]

Yeah, this is a player buff.

[last brook]

Possible idk. I'm swarbladr and my locust can apply frostbite

[vocal plank]

I wonder if there's a way to make warcry work then because the reason we were using totem was because it cut the time in half and cast multiple times.

[last brook]

Hmm not sure not played with totems

[vocal plank]

If the totem casts it, it won't wok. Kzb is right there. But I'm wondering if it's viable as a self cast. Doubtful though

Anyway. I'm going to go play with an idea for those boots. glhf

[last brook]

🫡

There is another item that goes with em

I'll say when I remember xd

Ahh

Giant shakle gloves s

[vocal plank]

Do you mean frostbite shackle

[last brook]

It's frostbite gloves ye

[vocal plank]

Yea. They're good for ward too

I use them all the time in my low life builds

[last brook]

Yah

[vocal plank]

Does increasing rain of arrows' area do what I think it does and just spread out the damage instead of making more arrows

[surreal verge]

Rain of Arrows? You mean Hail of Arrows? Or the passive tree one.

[vocal plank]

Yes. Sorry, names mixed up

[surreal verge]

The skill? Then well... if you never noticed, it's a DoT skill.

[vocal plank]

Yes but it has an area. And if it's anything like rain of arrows there are actual arrows falling from the sky. Which is why I'm asking if increasing the AoE just spreads the damage because I've never used the skill

[surreal verge]

The arrows are just visual.
Anything inside the area of the skill will take damage regardless.

[vocal plank]

Ok cool. Making sure

60M + DPS Insane Shadow Falconer Build! Absolutely Destroys LE Endgame! by Perra Gaming

[vocal plank]

Be careful with falc builds because a good number are bugged beyond imagination.

[obtuse umbra]

Ya pretty sure my Dive bombs miss a lot of the time for no apparent reason

[vocal plank]

Oh I was saying numbers are way higher than they should be.
And idk if it's still there but for a while smoke bombs were infinite with dive bomb. Though it might have been fixed

[surreal verge]

Fixed

[vocal plank]

Ok cool. That's good

[terse blade]

I really like void abilities

Like a lot of purple stuff flying around killing everything

Idk if void knight is the play

What do you recommend?

Plasma orb runemaster looked interesting

Not sure if that’s considered good or if there are better / more fun ones?

[surreal verge]

Void Knight is the only class with realistic access to void skills.

[terse blade]

is that class considered good?

[surreal verge]

It's decent.

[terse blade]

i had a warlock as well with profane veil etc...

but kinda wanne try smth off meta

that looks fun

[terse blade]

i think gonna try this 🙂

[obtuse umbra]

It's a cool build but really mana hungry. Get prepared to bash your brains in getting enough mana regen along with the stats you need. I put together some good stats only to realize I'm severely g i m p e d on strength. And naturally I just blew thru half a dozen +str rings with troll rolls 😫

[surreal verge]

You could just run Volatile Reversal.

[obtuse umbra]

Build does have it, but also has the node that makes it not restore mana 🙄

[surreal verge]

[grizzled swift]

When will the bazaar be online again?

[safe sky]

The news post says “up to 48 hours” so shouldn’t be long

[grizzled swift]

Yeah i was asking cause i was a bit confused cause in the loading screen they mention 24 hours

[safe sky]

Ah ok I didn’t see that. I guess somewhere in between then 🙂

[cedar locust]

The hope is 24 hours or less, however it may be upto 48 hours to ensure the transition goes smoothly 😊

[tacit nebula]

would anyone know why I can't alter the bottom left affix?

[tired relic]

because u dont have any shards of that affix ?

[toxic echo]

the - next to the affix is how many you have. you have 0

[tacit nebula]

anyone know why this doesn't seem to be increasing my Shatter Strike damage?

[icy drift]

if you're looking at the tooltip dps it won't be reflected on there

but it does work afaik

the sheet dps doesn't apply conditional stats, as in it doesn't bother checking weather or not shatter strike qualifies for this nodes condition which is to have above 10 mana cost

[fading wave]

If your Shatter Strike costs less than 10 Mana it shouldnt do a thing

[pine trail]

So I installed LE again and it's sending me to offline, what am I doing wrong?

Whats the difference in offline and online?

[toxic echo]

no trade, no cosmetics no leaderboards in offline

there should be a setting in steam properties of LE that tells it to go offline/online i thnk

[pine trail]

Yeah it pops up a steam window offline or online full game. When I select Online full game it sends me to offline and says somthing about selecting steam to play online......🤷‍♂️

[toxic echo]

would likely just changes the setting it steam to force it to go online

see if that fixes it

[pine trail]

Oh my bad, I think I had offline selcted LOL......man my eyes, my brain all just going to hell anymore 😦

[toxic echo]

long as it works

[pine trail]

ok I forced it this time, selected always use online

I keep getting sent to this screen

I'm launching it thru steam as well

Back in feb they had issues with full online. Maybe it's not fixed yet, dunno

Hrmm musta been a glitch in the atrix, it's working now

All good now........one of them "hrmm" moments

[faint sand]

I have a question.
Does Harbingers of Ruins update will come with a new season ?

[native sail]

Yes, every major update (1.X) will start a new cycle, same as other ARPGs on the market.

[faint sand]

Thx it wasn't very clear in the comunication

[native sail]

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

[faint sand]

Like i say, hiden in a subchat in discord, nothing on the site or steam news

[native sail]

Shrug. That's on your end imo, majority understand that new major update = new cycle

[acoustic thicket]

https://youtu.be/Rer2_13tbao

The description literally says that this is 1.1 and gives July 9

[acoustic thicket]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/last-epoch-official-teaser-trailer-harbingers-of-ruin/71095

[faint sand]

Ok my bad i'm just blind af

[acoustic thicket]

It took me all of 30s to google this 🤷

[faint sand]

sorry

[whole radish]

What do i gain by having additional sigils in Sigil of Hope? The spell doesnt specify anything

[buoyant sinew]

all the buffs granted by Sigils of Hope are per sigil, so an extra sigil means higher values on all of them

as long as you can keep them all active

[icy drift]

https://lastepoch.com/ also has a big timer 😛

[whole radish]

Oh! I assumed that but it was not written. Thanks

[acoustic thicket]

I looted a dagger with a t7 melee crit chance and a t6 increased melee damage %!

Could I just double check that I am right in thinking that the increased melee damage % would properly apply to Detonating Arrow if slammed on a Jelkhor's Blast Knife?

I'm thinking that it would affect the flat melee damage and the melee lightning damage, right?

Thank you!

[whole radish]

Im very confused. I want to recolor this prefix. However it doesnt exist on the filter. There bleed on hit and bleed on minion hit. But this one counts as the same prefix (both bleed on hit and minion bleed on hit). How do i target it on my filter?

[faint cape]

Yes, it will. Nice find!

[faint cape]

It's probably named something like "shared bleed chance"

[acoustic thicket]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/prefixes/ACwBgbEA

[whole radish]

Wut, i always wondered what is "Shared something". What exactly does it means?

[native sail]

Shared between you and minions

[whole radish]

oh, so "shared" is always implicit "with minions"?

[native sail]

Mhm.

[faint cape]

Yeah, it's shorthand for those hybrid affixes that give X to you and that same X to your minions

[vocal plank]

What does increased effect of viper strike do?
Does it increase the amount of poison chance you get from it?

[surreal verge]

You mean Aspect of Viper?

[vocal plank]

Yes. I keep freaking saying PoE skills.

[surreal verge]

[It buffs the numbers]

[vocal plank]

Wait I realize that I'm stupid and am talking about something else.
I do appreciate the help though since that is still something I'll need but I was saying the wrong thing when trying to say serpent strike.

[surreal verge]

Yeah time for my follow up:
According to LE tools it doesn't exist? No such thing as increased effect of serpent strike

[vocal plank]

Yea I say the helmet affix on LEtools and because it's 7am now I have a slightly impaired ability to read

[surreal verge]

Which is aspect of viper lul

[vocal plank]

Yea. That's what I was trying to say here. That I messed up

[faint cape]

Effect also buffs the effects of the nodes you take that add other effects to the aspect, iirc

Wow what a word jumble

[stoic parrot]

idk if this has been mentioned already but have they already announced how long the servers will be offline for the new cycle update? for example in diablo 3 a new season meant 1 week of offline servers

[desert tree]

Iirc for 1.0 it was smth like a couple days

24h actually

[modern crystal]

how to bypass losing connection when advancing to zone 2 of temporal sanctum dungeon tier 3 - Asia NE, SE,

[velvet agate]

i wonder what is "the Bazaar" 👀

[surreal verge]

The thing you use to trade with other people when you're in the Merchant's Guild.

[tacit nebula]

is there a way to recolour LP uniques with the lootfilter?

[surreal verge]

You can’t filter by LP, so no (intended)

[tacit nebula]

ok ty! :)

[cedar locust]

Please submit in game bug reports when this happens, especially as it sounds like it's happening consistently for you.

The first thing to try might be the Asia server, not Asia NE or SE. We also have this list of advice that has helped other players that have had connection issues - https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1230894608406413412 - if something does help, please let me know!

[tacit nebula]

this is the lootfilter I made but I see too many idols
Is there a good guide for filtering idols somewhere?

[fading wave]

you have hide all items , show all idols

means you see All idols

[surreal verge]

Idols are sadly kinda build specific

[tacit nebula]

aw that's a shame, and we can't filter out high/max rolls

[surreal verge]

Nope. (Also intentional)

[toxic echo]

best you can do is make a rule to show only idol affixes that you want

[terse blade]

how is Frostbite Frost Claw run master right now?
any better builds for mage?

does it matter in which slot my ability is in my skillslot?

like in here?

is there any way to change mastery?

[faint cape]

No, makes no difference there. On your skill bar, there are now a couple things that depend on the order you slot them, but as bladedancer you don't have access to anything like that.

[bold stag]

how to fix?

[cedar locust]

Fully close Steam from the system tray and reload, this usually fixes this error

[sterile geode]

Has anyone hit this bug?

The "connecting" overlay won't go away

[vocal plank]

That's so nice. Sure it's probably super rare but it's going to be so nice for later game corruption, or maybe even early game corruption farming if you're on a second character

[sterile geode]

Nevermind, it eventually went away. Weird

[rocky plume]

Hey folks, I love this game and am very grateful to the devs for listening to feedback and all their hard work on this game. However the one thing that really broke my immersion was equipping a unique item only for my character to look… not unique lol. Has that been changed/added yet?

[surreal verge]

They're still trying to add those slowly.
Armour needs 5 versions, one for each class, so those are slow.
Most weapons have their unique visuals I think

[rocky plume]

Awesome!!! Thanks for the quick response

[tight stump]

hey so im new to the game, just played d2 forever. What kind of endgame do i get for NON seasonal characer? i am joining at end of season so i dont want to start a season char and redo soon.

[vocal plank]

For right now everything that is in season is in base. Later on it'll be like PoE's seasons I assume

[forest salmon]

i cant find information on this but is the Harbingers update a free update or DLC please?

[storm blaze]

free

[hidden trellis]

Free update

[forest salmon]

awesome thanks guys ❤️

[tight stump]

so i can make a season char, i play hardcore, then it will convert anyways to hardcore non-ladder? so really i might as well just make it seasonal until season ends, because on expiration it converts anyways?

[surreal verge]

During season expire, yeah? New season=new leaderboard.

[rough shuttle]

Well.. guess no mana for me (See mana regen number)

[frigid wraith]

can anyone explain to me what this new egg thing is? from the trailer, i see talk about it

[west cave]

me and my boi doing monolyths- then this happens like what.

[hasty tartan]

Is lesser glacier OK for leveling?

[desert tree]

Visual bug onlu

[rough shuttle]

Ye i figured.. still kinda funny

[whole radish]

Guys is are still for leader board purposes? Or are there specif stuffs lile in the dg?

[vocal plank]

From what I can tell it's a relic like "The Cuckoo"
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAwRgLAzATFQ

[vocal plank]

So this is saying the roles with be 15% higher right? Because I can't have +15% T4. That just doesn't make sense

[prime patio]

When you use this node for warpath you are no longer able to make the skill cost 0 mana? Is this intended or is it a bug?

[buoyant sinew]

how would that be possible? if you weren't aware, that node adds mana cost every second. so it's +4 after one second, +8 after 2 seconds, etc. it sucks, don't use it

[obtuse cypress]

quick Q,was it only forge guard who got some love/changes or did shaman aswell?

[buoyant sinew]

in 1.1? we know every class got some changes, we have very little information about what they are right now. will have to wait for patch notes. it doesn't sound like forge guard got that many changes based on things Mike has said

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

[prime patio]

Ah, I thought it was just a generic +4 and that is it, so you could reduce it with other nodes from warpath that gave -mana cost

[buoyant sinew]

you can reduce it with those other -cost nodes, but yeah since it adds cost every second that doesn't help for very long

[obtuse cypress]

ok ty for replying,was just unsure ty for clarifying ^^

[desert tree]

There is an affix for % Reduced Channeled Mana Cost that will help you keep your Warpath for longer

[ruby sluice]

Is 1.1 cycle 2? Do you have have to make a new character for any of the new content?

[desert tree]

yes
Current characters will go to legacy. And you can choose to start fresh in the new cycle or keep your character.
The content will be almost the same in cycle and legacy. Just the final harbinger boss fight will be online cycle exclusive until someone beats it or a full week goes by

[vocal abyss]

I will wait for the day where a new boss in an arpg doesn’t die in the first 3 days

[desert tree]

Just add a fews 0 to its hp and dmg 😅

[lethal hare]

Ohhhhh Snap… it begins I can’t access the MG. Are the Devs getting rid of the factions? I hope so

[faint cape]

No, they're not

[hasty tartan]

Bazaar is down for maintenance for a couple days, IIRC.

[frigid wraith]

theyre actually adding another 😂

[lethal hare]

Noooooooo 😂 😂 😂

[candid elm]

You can join the Forgotten Knights Faction while being in MG or CoF. It's like another reward system.

[pallid solstice]

Harbingers Patch available to both offline and or online characters?

[oblique vale]

both

[rugged sinew]

did they ever fix stygian coal being locked to 5% crit?

[candid elm]

Both, just the new harder boss will release in offline and legacy after either: the day after someone defeats it in cycle or a week has passed

[surreal verge]

No, but then again you can't give it flat crit anyway...

[rugged sinew]

wdym you can't?

[surreal verge]

What sources of flat crit can you give it while using a coal?

[rugged sinew]

dagger

[surreal verge]

(Excluding Acid skin)

[surreal verge]

Today I learned that dagger's flat crit isn't melee locked

[rugged sinew]

it's global yeah

[surreal verge]

...Hey wait a minute.

That other cook might have some use...

[rugged sinew]

why do you think rune daggers exist?

[surreal verge]

To be fair, I always assumed that rune daggers are exceptions. (The rest don't give spell flat)

[icy drift]

There's a few sources of flat crit

Prismatic gaze

Logis hunger (only for fire)

Eagle wing axes

[surreal verge]

Logis doesn’t work for DL, not fire

[icy drift]

Dl?

[surreal verge]

Drain Life

Wait, eagle wing crit is also universal?

[icy drift]

Yes

[surreal verge]

Bruh

[icy drift]

And I literally said logis only works for fire xd

Was just listing options in general

But yeah I know you guys were talking about stygian mb

[icy drift]

Why do you think throwing builds use them :p

Flat crit and movement speed ez

[surreal verge]

I forgor, I don’t play enough throwing builds

[woven river]

Hey guys! I am looking for high level Wraithlord necromancer player

Want to ask about wraithlord

What stats i need on gear to pump up my wraithlord?

coz minion damage doesnt seem to do anything for him

[storm wren]

Intelligence! As more as possible.

[woven river]

ok... and.. maybe minion spell damage?

[storm wren]

Yeah you can bonus extra minion spell damage by your wand or staff or sword or...Sceptre

[woven river]

soo.. what to look on rings than? crit multi?

[storm wren]

1. Increase minion health/damage
2. intelligence
3. More ward decay threshold
4. Health

Of course be careful on your resistance too. Keep various resistances.

[woven river]

thats my problem, increase minion damage +50% on both rings, when i put those rings off and respawn wraithlord, test dummy shows same damage

[storm wren]

Good question No idea

[terse blade]

what are the best void knight builds rn?

[prime patio]

I would say smite and devouring orbs. Those 2 would be your main damage dealing skills

[south dagger]

Trying to craft on an item but can’t put phys res? any idea why I’ve only got one other res on it

[cedar locust]

Check if the affix your trying to add can be applied to the item you're crafting. IF it can, make sure it can go in the open slot - a prefix can only go on the left and suffixes can only go on the right

[south dagger]

how do I check if it can be applied on the item otherwise I’ve just checked that I’ve got the mats for the res and I have an open suffix slot

Nvm I checked

didn’t know res couldn’t be added to off hands catalyst

[spare pond]

So with harbingers adding pinnacle stuff and the nemesis, any recommendations for good boss killers or overall good single target builds?

[native sail]

We can't answer that super accurately until patch notes drop

[cedar locust]

Glad you figured it out! If you want a way to quick check, the Affix List lists what gear an affix can be added to and whether it's a prefix or suffix!

[south dagger]

appreciate it

[spare pond]

Fair lol. I was looking to set something up in prep for the update but yeah if its coming with a big enough group of changes, I can certainly see how that could throw a wrench in the mix

[cedar locust]

Me looking at current Patch note doc length Errr, yea, just a few 😁

[spare pond]

😅

[native sail]

As usual there's a few things that are probably fine, but no way to be 100% certain until we actually know. I know Dr3adful tested some things he thinks will likely still be fine if you wanna go check his thoughts.

[spare pond]

Cool, I'll prolly look thru their stuff

[astral solstice]

Is there a benefit to either CoF vs MG for a casual like me? I did CoF in 1.0 for a while, then took a break, but I'm planning on coming back for 1.1.

[faint cape]

The main benefit of CF is just not interacting with the market if you don't enjoy that. Otherwise, MG is the way to go. Both are fun imo.

[nimble yoke]

If the build you want to play requires a specific item to function go MG. If you don’t want to spend time shuffling through items for sale go CF.

[astral solstice]

Is there a list of powerful / fun builds that are CF friendly? I was checking out a reent Dr3adful video but he seems to be all about MG

[lavish crane]

Recent dr3adful video are all cof from scratch in 2 days, so these build are cof compatible.

Now if you want to push to the absolutely perfect gear, then MG is generally the way (expect maybe for meta builds that everybody buy).

[candid elm]

I farmed a Torment Warlock with CoF this Cycle. It's pretty decent. There were a few uniques that took me a while to farm, but the build worked without them. Just became much stronger and tankier after getting them. Like getting some of the boss only drops like Immolator's Oblation and Twisted Heart of Uhkeiros took a quite a while. Some of the other items like a Boneclamor Barbute were easy to get as it's a common world drop so I could use CoF Prophecies for extra drop chances.

If the build you're looking at requires high LP Uniques or really rare Uniques to function, I wouldn't suggest starting with that build in CoF.

[prime patio]

Can someone confirm if I understood resistances right?

So resistances are capped at 75% but enemies will penetrate 1% resistances per area level (up to 75%). So if I want to not take any increased damage I should have all resistances at 150%, correct?

[candid elm]

No, it caps at 75%. Going past the cap, called uncapped resistance, is only helpful for things that reduce resistance such as Resistance Shreds, Shock, Marked for Death, etc.

There are also some items and passives that can scale off your uncapped resistance.

[oblique vale]

increased damage will only happen if you have negative resistance
your goal is somewhere around 75%, it's not absolutely necessary to hit that

[candid elm]

Yeah this game isn't as punishing if you're a bit below in resistances. You just take that much extra damage. Like if you're at 65% you'd take 10% more of that damage type.

[prime patio]

But then what does the in-game tip mean, the one that says that minions will penetrate 1% resistances per area level?

[candid elm]

So that when you're low level it's not super punishing

[oblique vale]

it means you should think about your resistances relatively early, otherwise stuff is going to hurt later on

[faint cape]

It's just early game balance since resists are way harder to get at low levels

[prime patio]

I am still a bit confused about this mechanic. If monsters penetrate 1% of your resistances per are level then it means that at empowered monoliths they would ignore your 75% resistances (let's say they are capped) and deal full damage to you. If you have 0% resistances then it means you would take extra damage, correct?

From what Father Toast said it makes me think that monsters will think that you have more resistances early on so the game is somewhat balanced in the beginning.

Which one is it?

[candid elm]

You can think of it as enemies get increasingly more bonus damage as you go into higher level areas. You can reduce bonus damage this by getting resistances.

Yes, if you have 0 resistance in an area level 75+, you'd take 75% more damage.

But if you're in an area level 10, they only have 10% extra. So it's not as punishing on new characters.

You mostly want to focus on getting Physical resistance during the Campaign.

[candid elm]

Once you're getting into the end game, Resistance is one defensive layer you'll get for your character. Just Resistance is not enough. You'll want multiple defenses that will vary based on class and build. Armor for example works on all damage except damage over time. You'll want either Crit Avoid or Reduced Crit Damage Taken, don't need both. Some classes have access to Dodge, Block, Glancing Blow, Parry, etc or other class specific damage reducing Skills or Passives. If you're doing a Health build, you want Endurance, if you're doing a Low Life Ward build, Endurance won't help for that as Endurance just works on damage to Health. Also movement speed is really helpful, if they're not hitting you, you're not taking damage. Etc etc

[prime patio]

Ah ok, so damage for minions in this game is balanced around you taking full damage? I keep thinking that you should reduce their damage by 75% somehow in order to withstand hits (that is why I was thinking 150 is needed, they will ignore 75% but you would still have 75 left)

[candid elm]

Yeah Resistances cap at 75%. If you have any Resistances over 75% you'll see two numbers listed. The 75% is the cap. The second higher number is the uncapped, the total.

Uncapped resistance is just useful for things that reduce Resistance like Shreds, Shock, Marked for Death, etc. You don't really need to worry about these. They're just extra damage like so many other things. Mostly you're going to aim to be in the neighborhood of 75%. If you're under, it's ok. It's again just a bit of extra damage you'd take.

The exception to that is unless you have a passive or item that scales off uncapped resistance. Example, Boneclamor Barbute Helmet https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzBsNI gives

1 Ward per Second per 3% uncapped Necrotic Resistance
Uncapped is again your total resistance, so if you had say 100 necrotic resistance, this would give around 33 Ward per second. So with this kind of thing, going over the cap can be helpful. Especially when combined with a Passive like Cthonic Fissure's Twisted Waves that also gives extra damage from uncapped necrotic resistance.

[faint cape]

The game is balanced around you having 0% effective resistances

Which is what you'll have if you're resist capped in a level 75+ zone. As you level up to that point, keeping resists equal to the area level would keep you from taking extra damage.

And going over/under would mean you take less/more damage than expected at that level (which is normal in practice)

[candid elm]

Thinking you need 150 is a pretty common misconception. People ask about it fairly frequently

[faint cape]

Yeah, that. Overcapping just doesn't protect against penetration and the end effect is you don't need to stress over capping everything like you would in similar games like PoE.

Like if you have 0% resists, you just take 75% more damage rather than 300% more in PoE

[whole radish]

When the passive tree says something like "increase poison chance". What does it means? Poison chance on hit? When inflicting DoT?...

[candid elm]

Which Passive are you looking at? It's probably increased chance to inflict poison debuff on hit

[whole radish]

Some says on hit. This one (and others) says nothing.

Im stacking a lot of damned and this is almost my only source. And i almost only apply DoT

[crude jewel]

so, i have a personal problem, for that i have no solution atm; i have an idea for an build that focus on A, on tinkering with tools and reading other skills and passiv, i have idea for combo to second focus on B, after further reading i wanna have C,D,E,F too, and now i have a bunch of nothing... i need a solution on how to decide if i want all but cant have all 😢

oh and i tried to only just focus on A, most of that only-A-focus build ideas didnt got far into endgame -.-

[surreal verge]

All ailments can only be applied by a hit, so always assume "On hit"

[candid elm]

Also, if you want to import your character here, import button on the left, you can scroll down the damage tab to see your total Damned chance on Hit
https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/

[surreal verge]

Is there a dummy where i can test these things? I remember one on early access, cant find now. Since my build doesnt Hit much i think i will just remove it from the passive

[surreal verge]

Arena lobby. Use the very left one.

[safe sky]

In the arena zone, far left side. THere are a few sets of dummies. The one on the very far left side counts as an "enemy" for things like minions

[surreal verge]

The very left dummy is the most consistent one.

[whole radish]

lol thanks

[dry hound]

Hi I have little question after new cycle release characters will be moved to other server like in PoE or we still can play them on new cycle ?

[surreal verge]

Sent to legacy, as per usual.
There is currently no difference in content between cycle and legacy.

[dry hound]

Thanks

[weary tangle]

We get patch notes week before launch? I wanna theorycraft

[tacit nebula]

ohh, so capping res only reduces damage by 43%

compared to 0 res

[honest birch]

what? capping rez reduces damage by 75%

if your in lvl 100 area

[tacit nebula]

They said that enemies in lvl 75+ areas penetrate res by 75%, which overcapping doesn't affect

meaning that at 0 res, you take 175% damage and at 75% res you take 100% damage

taking 100% / 175% damage is 57% damage damage taken compared to 0 res, so 43% less damage taken

but maybe I misread them

idk 🤷‍♀️

[buoyant sinew]

no, you're correct Jasmine

[native sail]

You should be taking the capped res as the baseline, not the zero res, as that's how it was intended to be viewed

[tacit nebula]

is the reward for the bastion dungeon trading with this creature?

[honest birch]

yes

[spark wing]

So how does the new cycle work? You current characters just move to legacy? Do you lose gold or faction favours?

[oblique vale]

cycle moves to legacy
everything you have goes there
once you start a new char in the new cycle, that char will start completely from scratch

[faint cape]

You will lose favor, most likely. Not rank, though.

[storm blaze]

You absolutely do lose your rank though

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

Well I mean it's not gonna be moved to next cycle
You keep the highest rank in legacy, I think

[tacit nebula]

this armor gave me soo much ward! :))

would it be a good idea to maximise hp and build around this armour?

I got 2.6k resting ward, is there a number I should be aiming for? :)

[native sail]

So uh... a good slam on that and a couple other items can net you upwards of 12k pretty easily

[tacit nebula]

gold?

I'm not on the trading league if you mean trade with people

[native sail]

No, 12k ward

T7 % health slam, Last Steps Of The Living, Frostbite Shackles. Stack cold res. Fit health anywhere you can.
Congrats, you now have ward equal to like 3 to 4 times the amount of health on average endgame health builds.

[tacit nebula]

omg haha 😆 so I can't sell it to the vendor for 12k gold

it sells just for 500g

It's ok, I'll go for the 12k ward instead of the 500g gold

[tight violet]

Haven't played in a couple months. Came back and the game can't get past End of Time loading screen after 30 minutes (multiple attempts). Anyone else seen this issue and know a workaround?

[safe frost]

Totally doable, did this early this cycle and was f*** strong

[safe frost]

Try the usual, check files on steam, if this don't fix unistall and install again, it's not a big game after all

[lime spear]

Do we know what is gonna happen with our cycle characters yet? Will they drop to legacy and what will happen to their stash

[fierce plover]

Characters move to legacy. Stash moves to legacy as Remove Only.

[cinder pumice]

Whats up woth the immortal eye prophecy? Ive killed so many of them and it wont complete

I just want my runce of ascendace man

[faint cape]

There's two different eye enemies, they look almost identical

[rustic rivet]

Quick question what would be a good build to start a brand new season? As need to farm everything from scratch affix equipment etc etc

[hasty scaffold]

does anomaly count as a buff for healing hands purposes?

[surreal verge]

Does it have a buff tag?

[sonic saddle]

Any particular class you're looking for?

[rustic rivet]

Not exactly just looking for a build that breeze thru till monolith farming and start alt

I have yet to play primalist and sentinel tho

[sonic saddle]

Any particular things you want or would rather avoid in a build?

In terms of playstyle

[rustic rivet]

Played FC runemsster DA marksman and necro

I m a lazy person

Prefer as less button as possible 😂

Not sure is warpath a good build to start

[sonic saddle]

Damn can't shill my build 😛

I'd look at rive

[rustic rivet]

Please share don mind taking a look at anything

[sonic saddle]

it's a great cycle starter but is definitely very involved

your damage output comes from a 3 button rotation, plus using minion command key and fury leap for movement

[lavish crane]

Cookbook your build is great but is not a lazy one.

[sonic saddle]

yes

i know

[sonic saddle]

that's why i said this

[hasty scaffold]

why do some non-buff skills get a buff tag when you pick a node that makes it buff you, while other skills don't get that same tag even though you pick a node that makes it buff you? for example javelin gets you the buff tag when you pick battle standard, but anomaly doesn't when you turn it into a time bubble?

same with volatile reversal. some nodes in that skill clearly makes the skill buff you when you use it, but it still don't get no buff tag.

but somehow javelin gets the buff tag when you use a node that makes it give you a buff if you stand near it?

[minor echo]

is Sierpin's Fractal Tree still bugged?

[pliant marlin]

Is there a way to see ingame or easy some online resource to check wether x or y damage affix (that both work for my build) rolls higher values on a ring for example? I got a prefix open and I'm wondering between damage over time or necrotic damage for a necrotic curse warlock build... altho I guess I'm not actually 100% necrotic

[tacit nebula]

I have color coded them (white) normal, (blue) magic, (yellow) rare, (purple) epic ☺️

I usually pick up any rare item, magic item if I want to craft and use it, and white if I want to break it for affixes

[surreal verge]

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

The answer is "Exactly the same" btw.

[pliant marlin]

Thanks a lot!

[faint cape]

Only damage rolls that are different are "elemental damage" (lower) and "elemental damage over time" (higher). All the others are identical.

[pliant marlin]

ah, that's where my confusion came from because I played DoT Paladin earlier

[pliant marlin]

this point in fissure's tree is a global modifier, right? sounds like it. so it applies to torment from Wheel of Torment for example

[desert tree]

Yes

Every node that specifically mention Torment will

[azure siren]

LE better than Diablo 4?

[desert tree]

In the official LE discord it's likely that people will prefer it over d4

[toxic echo]

depends on what you are looking for out of the game. much easier to answer specific game questions, than someone's opinion.

[rancid cliff]

Evening lads, did i understand it right, that new cycle comes out on july 9th?

[storm blaze]

yes

[rancid cliff]

👌thx

[fading wave]

Mhh , defo better for lazy couch coop

[whole radish]

Is it "mandatory" to have stuffs that gives me ward when i use a potion if um using a ward build?

[icy drift]

no

[tardy shuttle]

Please tell me for blessings to work - do I need to close more dungeons with them after receiving them or what?
1 I see straight without purple (as I understand it works)
2 more are completely filled with purple (they don’t work, as I understand it)
and the rest are not completely filled

[faint cape]

The ring around them just gives info about them. The blue/purple ring fullness shows how well that blessing is rolled (full ring is maximum roll, no/empty ring is minimum roll - press Ctrl+Alt on a blessing to view the stat roll range). If there's an additional yellow ring, it's an empowered blessing.
You don't need to do anything with the blessing after getting it, it's just a passive stat buff like equipment.

[wicked plover]

does anyone know how i enable the dmg reduction calculation in le tools for red rings

[sonic saddle]

that's already enabled

[wicked plover]

thats not my screen

[sonic saddle]

have 180 total attributes

[wicked plover]

i met the attribute requirements on my build but it doesnt show

[sonic saddle]

and it enables

screenshot your attribute screen and your damage taken tooltip

[wicked plover]

neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevermind, fixed thanks

[sonic saddle]

lol
