[sullen verge]

what about a unique u can get from echo

[fiery plinth]

Which one?

[sullen verge]

in specific time line

[fiery plinth]

Which unique?

[sullen verge]

ucenuis sphere

[fiery plinth]

So what you want to do is go to lastepochtools, here: https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzAcYRiA

See where it says "random drop"? That means it's a random drop that you can get anywhere.

The "timeline to target farm" thing just means that there's a timeline that will let you farm uniques of that specific type, so it's easier to find there.

[sullen verge]

ohhh okay that makes sense!

and u can use a rune of ascendancy on these kind of drops right?

[fiery plinth]

Compare that with Bulwark of the Last Abyss, which says "dropped from":

Yeah, Rune of Ascendancy on any Relic and it can become a Ucenui's.

[sullen verge]

and what is the pro of farming these items in empowered vs normal monolith?

[desert tree]

Higher zone lvl means you can get better base, more rarity and more quantitu

[fiery plinth]

You don't get any extra islands that give you uniques or anything, but yeah, you just get better drops in general.

[desert tree]

Well the specials echoes with uniques and also the exalted ones are more common the higher corruption goes

[fiery plinth]

And more uniques dropping from each of those islands.

Oh, really? That's neat. I stand corrected, then.

[sullen verge]

okay awesome awesome thanks

[fiery plinth]

Another place to check that makes it way more clear what can and can't be Ascendancy'd is Maxroll: https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/database

Search the item and it'll tell you the chance you have to get it from the rune.

[sullen verge]

thats neat thank u

[fierce swan]

Yes that's the 1, traversal skills included.

[fiery plinth]

Cool, I'll give this a shot, thank you!

[fierce swan]

Np wraithlord will hit hard and fast and you can buff him for even more damage, Feels more smooth than your general run of the mill minion army build.

[sullen verge]

btw @fiery plinth what about getting unique items from CoF?

does it have to be random drops as well or is it all uniques including boss drops

[surreal verge]

It’s random drops as well.

You cannot get boss drops other than from their respective bosses.

[sullen verge]

okayy

[fiery plinth]

Yeah, there's basically two buckets: Random and Specific. Anything that gives random drops (runes, world drops, unique timelines, CoF, etc.) can give any applicable random drop, but not any Specific drop. Each Specific drop comes from one specific source, and can only be gained from that one source.

[lethal hare]

Why does fireball do 500k+ dps with some pretty basic skill nodes?

[surreal verge]

If you're looking at tooltip DPS, there's much funnier numbers. It's a liar.

[willow sequoia]

Can experimental items be exalted too so I can transfer the experimental affix to a legendary?

[surreal verge]

Yes

[upbeat imp]

Damn 3lp and full roll of crit chance on prismatic gaze... Jealous about it :(

[mossy heath]

What does this mean... ?

and sorry, what does a "Cycle" character mean... ?

[upbeat imp]

What are you mean by 4/10? @static light

[static light]

@upbeat imp 4 crit 10 ele taken, literally perf

[upbeat imp]

Ohhhh the max roll... indeed

[surreal verge]

Rank 4 in CoF required.
Cycle=Season.

[upbeat imp]

It mean this item is found by rank 4, circle of fortune. You must reach the rank to use it and it can't be listed on market because it's cof exclusive.

[mossy heath]

Season means I can play the new content? I can't use my old characters to play the new content?

[upbeat imp]

Old characters to play new content= legacy

[surreal verge]

Seasons for LE so far do not have season only content, it's only for market

[mossy heath]

ok thank you

[upbeat imp]

Why people want season-only content...I don't get it...Legacy characters means easier and more advantages to level up alt classes under new content, isn't it?

[hazy stag]

When the cycle refreshes and character becomes Legacy, it's stash is still accesable by other previously made Legacy characters or those become 2 different stashes?

[upbeat imp]

If you play cycle, then you need to build your stash from zero. If you play legacy, then you can transfer your stash from cycle to legacy.

[hazy stag]

What

It doesn't make sense

So if I play cycle I can only transfer those items to legacy, but when my character becomes legacy after cycle refresh, then where my items go?

[upbeat imp]

They'll keep in legacy's stash

[cedar locust]

After a Cycle Character is moved to Legacy, their items go into a Remove Only Stash that you can then take items from and add them to your Legacy Stash - https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1260279433772662854

[hazy stag]

oh! Thanks! That makes a lot more sense

[pallid cypress]

how would i slam with a mage item to get one of the mage affixes on my boots? for example - i want the 1.6s of haste after using a traversal skill on my transient rest boots. am i able to slam mage items directly?

[storm blaze]

You slam it like any other item
needs to be exalted and pray for rng that it chooses the affix you want

[pallid cypress]

thank you

[upbeat imp]

Checked out the discussion about this refresh in Chinese community, they focus on complaining why EHG reset their classes while their classes graduated after farming gears for a long time and having fun on playing them.

EHG must give a clear reason for why are they disappeared for a while to gain the reputation back.

Let's wait the announcement on Sep. 20th 🤔

[trail slate]

Hi Guys is there a bug for void rift as when im casting Volatile reversal doesnt seem to spawn

and im specced into it

[primal fjord]

Is anyone aware of a bug with poision stacks, I will ramp up over 300+ but then in a second they drop back down to 1 and ramp back up again in a split second?

[faint cape]

No, but they are kinda hard to see

[faint cape]

No, might be related to how you apply them, or you've got some effect that consumes them

[primal fjord]

I'm playing a poison rogue minion build with aura of decay, i didnt see anything that consumed that was my initial thought as well.

[open marten]

Hello, ... I am trying to farm greater blessing for flat Armor (spirits of fire timeline), doing corruption 300+, did like 20runs and not getting it 🥴 ... Should i just keep farming or am I doing something wrong

[storm wren]

The dev team must appreciated your patience and yeah random blessings means this case maybe happens unfortunately

Give them a feedback which reported your states!

[open marten]

Getting the same values for endurance blessing (26%) like billion times...Armor while channeling..same.

I Guess i keep trying more 😉

I will do like 50 runs and if no drop i do that

[cedar locust]

RNGesus hates Mondays too it seems 🥲 Here, take this - ✨ Blessing Drop Boost ✨ (single use, can be used on 1 (one) Timeline for 1 (one) Blessing type, results not guaranteed) - good luck!

[open marten]

[faint cape]

Weird, I played a build like that a couple weeks ago and didn't notice anything like that. What other skills are you using?
(or if you can send your character imported into a planner, I can look around)

[primal fjord]

Is there a way to import my actual toon? If so I don't know how.

[faint cape]

Yes, these buttons - there's a slightly different path if you're playing online vs. offline:

[primal fjord]

just found that button doing it now

[faint cape]

Hmm, yeah I don't really see anything that would cause that kind of problem. Are you seeing it against a dummy? Most of your poison chance comes from the minions being in your dread shade and AoD areas, so sometimes positioning while moving around could mess things up

[surreal verge]

(Also, amour shred doesn't help poison damage)
But yeah, nothing weird at first glance.

[faint cape]

Side note, if you take this node and summon your skele rogues while in the dread shade aura, it snapshots all the 'more damage' buffs dread shade gives you (for lethal concentration):

[primal fjord]

Ill test it on the dummies i didnt think of that

[primal fjord]

Interesting I'll try it out

ya not happening on the dummy

[mossy heath]

What does this chain mean? How do I get past it?

[primal fjord]

You cant, you can only go up to that point in that tree because it is not your selected mastery

[faint cape]

Interesting, so it might just be a mixture of the positioning thing, maybe your skeles getting stunned, and/or the boss moving around. Poison has a super low duration, so if they stop getting applied even briefly you may notice it

[gusty heron]

Can anyone explain why I cant craft this more intel?

[primal fjord]

could be, i just found it strange that all the stacks dropped at exactly the same time then jumped right back up to where they were.

[gusty heron]

The requires 11 to forge is greyed out

[surreal verge]

Are you level 11?

[gusty heron]

no where does it show the level ya need to be?

[surreal verge]

Literally "Requires Level:11 to forge"

[gusty heron]

oh I thought that mean requires 11 forging not the character level lol

[surreal verge]

Nah that's the level, forging costs mostly are "at least 1"

[gusty heron]

ok thank you

[trail slate]

cant see its dmg so I think its a bug

[primal fjord]

Doesn't armor reduce damage from non physical sources at 70% or is that just direct damage not dots?

[surreal verge]

Armor doesn't reduce DoTs, only hits.

[primal fjord]

got it ok

[gusty heron]

so I kno we cant craft upon unique items but we cant shatter them either?

[storm blaze]

nope

You can slam exalted item on them though

[gusty heron]

oh ok

[surreal verge]

If there's a unique you don't need at all, sell it to the shop for 500 a pop

[storm wren]

🫡 Bye, I never want to enter soulfire bastion again (I can't accept the sudden death sorry)

[median siren]

so im having a weird issue... or at least i think it is one. I just overhauled all my resistances. I was having a hard time surviving in the Maj region due to necrotic damage and bleed damage. Now to my understanding bleed is physical in LE. I have 50% physical resist and yet everytime i encounter more than 2 blood rasps in the catacombs together they nearly one shot me with the bleed shots they shoot. its as if i have no resistance to the bleed at all.

so either they do ungodly amounts of bleed or something isnt stacking up with how i setup my resistances

[cedar locust]

These are the stats for the Blood Asps - https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/npc/BloodSerpent

[surreal verge]

Resistance is important, but maxing resistance isn't enough later on.
How much health do you have?

[median siren]

i have 600 health. Running falconer. most my resistances are at 50% or higher or at least very close to that range

and im only around level 39 with this toon

i had no issues at all till i got to this region and now it feels like i have no survivability just with this damage type. everything else makes me look like a tank except those rasps. im out of the catacombs now but im sure ill run into this issue again

[gusty heron]

do you guys recommend shattering all gear that isnt really for your class or dont ven bother picking it up?

[median siren]

@cedar locust based on that info 3 to 5 of them shouldnt be nearly one shotting me even if they all direct hit. they should be doing most 200 damage and if they all crit yes that could but no way my RNG is that bad lol

[surreal verge]

Don't bother unless you want the affixes on it.

[gusty heron]

ok ty

[surreal verge]

600 shouldn't be that bad, unless...
What boots are you wearing?

[surreal verge]

Okay, we can cut out "accidentally wore the hell mode boots" out of the checklist.

Then I'm not too sure what's the problem immediately.

[median siren]

i have 2 items in my inventory that i can swap out to boost my necrotic or void damage when needed. but this is all i could squeeze out at my level while forging

[surreal verge]

Weird, most of the time during the campaign, taking damage isn't a problem because any non-bosses should die REALLY quickly.

[median siren]

my falcon absolutely owns and my smoke bomb keeps my survivability up and handles my CC debuffs

cinder strike helps keep ignite proc up along with the smoke bomb while the falcon does my major damage

im mowing through enemies, but i have to be super cautious apporaching those specific enemies

they die nearly instantly but if they all spit at once before i dash to them and get off my cinder strike its RIP for me

thats why i wanted to ask here first to see if its potentially a bug?

[surreal verge]

It's the first I heard of it, if it is.

It's most likely isn't? I personally didn't have any problems with them.

[median siren]

then i just have bad crit RNG 🤣 which is par for the course with me

[twin oak]

those guys are dangerous in monoliths too if you just run ahead without killing them, actually they are one of the most dangerous enemies in the game in that scenario
so kill then as soon as you see them, they are very easy to stun and to kill too

[cedar locust]

I found that most mobs that use Blood Spit or similar do more damage than I expect, bit like the frost breath attack you see in Heoborea a lot

[twin oak]

the efficient way to get rare affixes is to use the rune of removal when you find an item with at least some of them, and use a shattering rune if you run out of forging potential
because runes of removal are rarer only use them when you really want those affixes
people usually waste gold buying runes of shattering but there is no need if you use each rune when they are most useful
unless you are already gathering gear for another character I would not recommend using runes for their affixes
and at your level I usually wouldn't spend time crafting, killing enemies with a well configured item filter is the fast way to level up, the base of the items is usually as important as the affixes at low level and more in some cases

[median siren]

@twin oak i will keep that in mind moving forward. i know something seemed unreasonably rough about their attack.

luckily i have tons of mobility in this build so its all about staying on the move to keep my iframes up

if there is one thing i do love about combat in this game its that facetanking isnt really a thing, at least that ive seen so far

and im not just limited to "kiting" for survival there is an actual level of tactical play

[pallid cypress]

i am tired of being at lvl 99 - what is the most efficient xp grind right now? high corruption empowered timelines?

[twin oak]

it depends on the build, but you can facetank, in general it is better not to stand in dangerous telegraphs
and yes, it is great that there are viable ways to invest in dps and being able to clear all content even if you are super squishy, it works very well with builds like ballista or shatter strike

[bold cairn]

hey, is there an armor cap?

[twin oak]

no, but its effectiveness has a curve, so the more you have the less amount of damage every point of armor reduces https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/armor
you can play with the calculator too https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ehp

[surreal verge]

Pretty much

[bold cairn]

gracias

4k-6k seems right?

[pallid cypress]

what do you guys think of as "high" corruption tier? 400?

[surreal verge]

500+

[runic locust]

I think the intended experience for high corruption for the dev was 300, since it's the last threshold where you may get exclusive drop and fight Aberoth (after defeating the last harbringer)

but in practice it's higher yeah

[surreal verge]

The exlusive drop threshold is 200.

[runic locust]

Isn't Omnis only 300+?

ah nvm (just checked)

[twin oak]

it depends on the build, in this game it is usually better to combine several defensive layers rather than only having one high

[gusty heron]

so Im shooting for a fire minion build for my necro are there affixes that have + fire damage for minions or does it sclae with + fire dmage I equip for me?

[pallid cypress]

what's the benefit of running corruption above 200 after you hit lvl 100?

[runic locust]

Idols have those mods. You can easily get +1000% inc dom in one element for your minions as necro.

[gusty heron]

so I have to set filter to look for idols to have those mods then correct?

[runic locust]

If you don't want to parse through every idols you see yes.

[twin oak]

more favor
more loot
more stability -> more bosses
more harbinger eyes
more nemesis encounters
maybe I forget something

[gusty heron]

@runic locustis it considered shared fire damage on the idol?

ahh IU see it minion foire damage

[runic locust]

on grand idol 3x1. You may get 4 of those

[gusty heron]

ty

[surreal verge]

It doesn't scale with your fire damage.

[surreal verge]

You need to hit 300 to be able to fight abberoth. Otherwise, better rarity.

[gusty heron]

ok ty

[pallid cypress]

are you guys beating abberoth handily? i got worked on my first attempt

[cedar locust]

Aberroth is a beast 😅

[storm wren]

no, far away from owning enough eyes

[pallid cypress]

are ppl grouping up to take him on? is there some big reward for beating him?

[storm wren]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/monolith/aberroth/boss-items what can you get from Aberroth only

[pallid cypress]

are they the types of items that ppl would farm hard for? like ubers in diablo?

[surreal verge]

All of them have a decent chunk of use, but are not universal.

[storm wren]

Have you killed Aberroth successfully, Kzb? Which build are you played to kill him?

[pallid cypress]

just curious why ppl aren't doing a lot of LFG for taking on abberoth

[surreal verge]

NOPE

[surreal verge]

Most people just run solo, since more people=more health and if people can't pull their weight....

[pallid cypress]

without incredible drops or achievements of any sort - i guess it's just for bragging rights?

[surreal verge]

It's now the "target' for a good build, and the uniques he drops DOES NOT drop anywhere else, so if you want them you gotta kill him.

[twin oak]

some of his items can be best in slot
even if you are not looking for them they can still be valuable in the bazaar
if you are farming for Harbinger drops there is no reason not to kill Aberroth (if you can) because he also drops items from Harbingers

[bold cairn]

español? no tienes alguna comunidad para jugar?

soy de chile y no encuentro comunidades latinas, siento que llegue a un punto muerto del juego y nose me gustaria jugar con "amigos", si bien se ingles perfecto prefiero jugar nose con hispanohablantes

lvl 70 currently and keep doin monolith of fate and feel stuck there

[twin oak]

tengo un par de amigos con los que juego
no te puedo recomendar nada, pero puedes probar suerte en #💽┃server-share

[gusty heron]

Why doesnt it give me the option to further upgrade Minion health?

[cedar locust]

You have no shards for this affix

[gusty heron]

ahh okies

[acoustic thicket]

Does anyone know what happens when a HC SCF character dies? Does the character go to SC and the stash. gold etc is just lost or does that get transferred to?

[open marten]

It should be "lost" coz u ticked to not not share your stash with any other toon

[acoustic thicket]

I ask because if the character goes to SC then surely it makes sense that the character would have access to all the same stash, gold etc

But I know normally in HC the stash for example stays in HC

[proud pumice]

Hi ! is there only max 2 suffixes and 2 prefixes on items ?

[cold plaza]

Yes. Make sure you know about "glyph of despair" and "sealed affixes" ( 1 max).

[proud pumice]

yup, just started the game :p

[bold cairn]

i recomend to check the game guide in the menu, helped me a lot, im noob too on my first run

[proud pumice]

ty yup i'll check all of that

[echo oyster]

2 attempts for me in offline CoF with a hammerdin

[mellow crest]

when does the next cycle start?

[candid elm]

The current cycle is being reset on Sept 19th https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/announcing-1-1-refresh-cycle-event-the-imperial-uprising

Says that's running until Oct 20th. So the 1.2 cycle will probably be sometime after that

[mellow crest]

thx

[sullen verge]

im trying to target farm specific drops from timeline bosses but ive reached a corruption level that i just cant maintain anymore, should i just reset the corruption for those timelines just so i can target farm easier?

cause idk what else to ... i have saved every exalted item that has dropped with t6 and t7 affixes and i keep crafting and optimizing but i just cant keep up

i think this build is weak anyway but i really want these uniques in order to be complete anyways, so dropping corruption for those timelines okay?

maybe i should just stop killing orobys

[dense jay]

I like your spirit.. i know i shouldnt push corruption any further when random things can 1 shot me at 500c until i improved my gear and raised again slowly. I did orobyss and then reduce the corruption back to near 500c for a period of time until i get my desired unique LP at that time.

I am not sure whats your build/class though. Usually it is the HP/wards that plays a bigger role to survive those hits

Also clearing speed is a factor, if you cant clear smoothly or comfortably, it is better to stay or go lower corruption

[fringe lily]

Recently returned player here... with these Harbingers, do I have to always fight one when trying to farm a boss? I need to farm Abomination for Woven Flesh, but I have to fight the Harbinger everytime. I must have gotten lucky the first time, but in the five attempts after, the harbinger kills me every time. Is there any work around to be able to farm Abomination w/o harbinger?

[fierce swan]

Untick the box for Harbinger before doing the boss

you will see it easy

[fringe lily]

Heh.. thanks!

Major derp moment there 🙂

[fierce swan]

No problem 🙂

[sullen verge]

is there a way of restoring forging potential?

[twin oak]

no

[sullen verge]

getting bis in this game is dayum near impossible man

[twin oak]

it is way easier than PoE imo

[sullen verge]

how many times can u in theory seal an ffix with glyph of despair

[surreal verge]

Once, you may only have one sealed affix.

[sullen verge]

okay

[proud pumice]

Hi ! can we switch a offline character to online ?

[desert tree]

No

[proud pumice]

i don't understand the offline mode then, i'm still connected to the servers, what's the point of it ?

[surreal verge]

That's not true offline.
Steam allows you to launch the game that doesn't connect to the servers.

[desert tree]

Well, there is 2 kind of Offline Mode

1. "Semi Offline" you still connect to the server but only for tchat, and you can use the bug report tool
   2." Full Offline" you dont connect to anything
   In both cases your save files are stored locally on your device.

[proud pumice]

Okok, i made a SSF character so semi offline is great i think, if i don't need trade i don't need the online part right ?

[proud pumice]

So, if I change my pc, my character is gone ?

[desert tree]

Do you have Steam Clouds enabled ?

[surreal verge]

Correct.

[proud pumice]

yes

[desert tree]

Then Steam Clouds should sync your saves

[proud pumice]

okay, so : i can play offline etc... and connect one moment to sync with steam cloud sometimes and it will save my character ?

[desert tree]

Steam Cloud is a different system. It syncs your files when you quit the game

[proud pumice]

okok, so if i play without internet, i'll need an internet connection when i close my game sometimes

[desert tree]

Yes

[proud pumice]

okay ! thanks

[sullen verge]

i think i might cry. i have close to 100 relics dropped and still not the unique i want

[dense jay]

Cof? Prophecies?

Could be boss drop only

Which unique relic u looking for?

[sullen verge]

its Ucenui's Sphere

ive completed about 150 echos in last ruin now

i have 3 stashes of unique relics

[dense jay]

Thats not how it works though

[proud pumice]

am i blind or i can't see the "void damage" flat stat ?

[dense jay]

But ucenui should be a common drop

[sullen verge]

its 1 in 20

[dense jay]

Well being in the common category, it has a larger pool with other common unique relic

[surreal verge]

The only flat stat that exists for void is melee void.
Flat X damage stats aren't common.

[sullen verge]

welp ive gotten all of the other ones... 😦

[proud pumice]

euh yeah was asking for melee void my bad and i don't see it x)

[proud pumice]

so am i blind ? don't see the "melee void damage" in stats menu

[surreal verge]

Oh you meant in the char screen.
They don't exist.
Pen and paper!

[dense jay]

You can see in your LETools profile

[proud pumice]

just checked and seems like it's not up to date

[dense jay]

Oh yea, i am not sure if it takes a few hour or a day for it to capture your ingame changes again

So if you are expecting live stat change, its a bad news

[grand shoal]

Don't go via profile, but import directly in the planer. You should get updates less then a min after switching gear usually

[sullen verge]

can u transfer a fixed affix onto a unique with legendary crafting?

[proud pumice]

ty

[grand shoal]

Glad it seems to work for you too!

[dense jay]

Fixed? If you mean existing suffixes and prefixes, yes. Thats what we call slamming. If you mean sealed affix, no

[sullen verge]

ty

yes i meant sealed my bad

FINALLY!!!

just how hard is it to get a 4lp unique

[storm blaze]

Very
But the % for 4lp isn't same for all uniques

[sullen verge]

should i settle for 2lp

i got bis exalted affixes for my helm that is only 2lp

not sure if i should slam or not

[storm blaze]

the lp means nothing if you don't slam 🤷‍♂️

[sullen verge]

i slammed

[surreal verge]

For Sphere, it's a 0.044% chance
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzAcYRiA

[sacred zealot]

This has probably been asked before, but does the Imperial Uprising event also happen on legacy? Currently I'm in cycle but have no interest in starting a new character as I've already got enough 100s. I'm CoF so the economy doesn't really matter to me.

[cedar locust]

Yep! No one will miss out 🙂

[surreal verge]

Yes.

[sacred zealot]

That's nice at least. I was prepared to just quit until next cycle lol. Thanks!

[storm wren]

🙃 Killed by the black sun boss consistently because the knock back bug

why I'll be knock back after I cast teleport...

[dense jay]

rubberbanding?

[glass monolith]

Any idea why it shows in the map like I have 1 missing quest on Ancient Era (there is only 3 way points and im pretty sure i explored all 3)

[cedar locust]

Do you have any Monolith quests?

[glass monolith]

none

[glass monolith]

all completed included Aberroth

[cedar locust]

I think this is a bug, please submit an in game bug report and I'll mention it to the team 🙂

[glass monolith]

ok, doing it... thx

[sacred zealot]

So I haven't played on legacy at all. A couple of questions though.
Do we have to repurchase all the stash tabs that were originally purchased in 1.0?
Do we have to manually drag all items in "remove only" 1.0 tabs to legacy tabs?
I've click the button in the top right a dozen times but it only moved the shared stuff like crafting mats, gold, etc.

[glass monolith]

you will need to repurchase tabs, yes, but I asked it to devs and they have no plans for the moment to delete de "old tabs from cycles" so you can let there all you don't want to ocupy a new space on Legacy stash. It seems, yes, you need to manually move the items. (that button doesn't move items, correct) (I asked the same some days ago...)

[sacred zealot]

Thank you. Not removing the cycle tabs is nice, but sucks spending millions on new tabs. Ahh well.

[glass monolith]

I bet sooner or later they will improve that "movements" hope for it at least

[sacred zealot]

I would hope so, or a few cycles down the road people in legacy are going to have hundreds of tabs spread across multiple cycles in the dropdown.

[proud pumice]

can i "destroy" an item to get shards or something like that ?

[sacred zealot]

Use a shatter Rune in the Forge

[cedar locust]

Yep! You need to use a Rune of Shattering in the Forge on the item you want to break

You can buy these from Vendors for 2000 Gold or find them as random drops from mobs!

[proud pumice]

does the shards is as the same type of the destroyed item ?

like void damage etc.. ?

[cedar locust]

Yep, you have a chance to get the same shards as the affixes on the item 🙂

[proud pumice]

okay nice 🙂

[cedar locust]

You can read up on all the Runes, Glyphs and other Crafting info here - https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/runes_and_glyphs

[plush holly]

isnt that one of those that drop more easily with lagon ?

[desert tree]

Nope, its a random drop

[storm wren]

@feral otter You need this key

[feral otter]

Yes yes, thanks I know that. But I cant leave arena to continue later at the same stage. That was the suggestion.

I would like to do e.g. 100 waves and then later continue, but its not possible afaik.

[storm wren]

Do the drop rate of glyph of envy relevant to corruption?

[proud pumice]

When the item says "increased void damage by X%", which stat do it take and increase to X% ?

[cedar locust]

Ah, no unfortunately. The Arena Key of Memory allows you to return at half the amount of waves you had managed - so dying/leaving at Wave 500, you would re-enter at Wave 250.

However if you have never reached Wave 100, you enter at Wave 100.

[surreal verge]

All void damage.

[proud pumice]

so the one i can't see and only see on planer ?

[surreal verge]

Pretty much.

You also can't see a skill's base damage without digging LETools.

[proud pumice]

okay, an other question, when the game says "spell damage" it mean all spell ? or the one with "spell" tag ?

[feral otter]

Thanks, I know that. The suggestion I posted in suggestion thread is that it would allow you to continue whenever you want, if of course you manage no to die. e.g. you always get asked after 5 waves if you would like to continue or leave. Would be nice to be able to just get back there if you didnt die and left. 🙂

[cedar locust]

I'll make sure that gets logged for you 😊

[desert tree]

Yes

[surreal verge]

All spells are skills with the "spell" tag.

[desert tree]

There are 2 kinds of Skills
Spells and Attack

[proud pumice]

ty

[proud pumice]

ok so i made the character on "offline" & "SSF", it's super useless to pick merchant's guild right ?

it's weird to let me choice if I create SSF character or am i missing something ?

[faint cape]

Yeah, almost entirely useless. They may eventually disable it, but it's mainly because they just want to minimize in-game differences between online and offline

[proud pumice]

yes ok, so my only choice is circle of fortune right ?

[faint cape]

Correct (unless you want to play the game on hard mode)

[proud pumice]

ahah ok thanks

[proud pumice]

I'm looking on my files, and it doesn't look like that (import build on the planner)

i don't have the userdata folder in the steamapps one

[storm wren]

thanks

[proud pumice]

seems like it's in this folder, but I have steam cloud enable, why ?

[cedar locust]

You need to make sure that you can see hidden files

[proud pumice]

yes it's ok, but no "userdata" folder in "steamapps" :/ even with the search bar

how can i do ? the best is to recreate a online character .. ?

[cedar locust]

You don't need to go through the steamapps folder - the blanked space is the USERNAME

[proud pumice]

yup find this one, but does this mean if i change PC i lost the characters ?

[cedar locust]

Do you have Steam Cloud Saves on on both PCs?

[proud pumice]

yes

[cedar locust]

Steam Coud is mostly for Offline characters, your Online characters are linked to the server when you load the game and login

[proud pumice]

yes ofc, but in planner it's says it's different things

[cedar locust]

Are you trying to import an Offline character?

[proud pumice]

yes ! i find the file in AppData folder, but it's weird, if i have steamcloud enable i should have it in steamsapp one

[cedar locust]

That is strange, I don't have an Offline character to check but I can make one and check my own files

[surreal verge]

Mine's in the appdata folder, FYI

[proud pumice]

on a offline character ?

[surreal verge]

On offline.

I have steam cloud enabled as well, and it does work.
So I dunno.

[proud pumice]

i've got 1 pc but i want to be sure to have my characters if my pc is resetted, or game uninstalled etc... how can i be sure ?

[proud pumice]

anyone know ?

[cedar locust]

I'm not sure how to check without a second pc, but let me look 🤔

[dusky fractal]

@proud pumice they gonna stay

i reset pc propably 20 time since i first play

[shy frost]

Can i use Fury Leap while transformed as a Druid in lets say SwarmBlade Form?

[proud pumice]

oh ok thanks

[surreal verge]

No, since it swaps out your whole skill bar.

[gloomy prairie]

Forgotten Knights faction does not show up on my alt. Done like 2 bosses in empowered monos, no harbringer and no option to summon.
Am i missing something?

[surreal verge]

If you never fought a harbringer before, clear a lv90 normal monolith's quest echo boss to trigger it

[proud pumice]

is the "alt" possible to activate by default ?

[desert tree]

Pretty sure no

[storm wren]

🤭 My skills going back to the beginning of I touch the game...

The amount of killing by melee attack from Lagon: 13

[storm wren]

Done it finally. Bed time!

[desert tree]

Which one were you looking for?

[storm wren]

Looking for the exclusive relic from Lagon

[desert tree]

Oh, Stormcarved

[storm wren]

🤭 and I hope Nemesis help me to turn it from 0lp to 2lp

[distant apex]

Can someone help the newb? I am going for druid werebear lightning build and I am using swipe , warcry, fury leap, werebear form and summon wolf (because I got 2 wolfs amulet) . For forging what affixes should I am adding to my gear? Thanks

[faint tartan]

is freeze and shock the same CC except for the element?

[lethal hare]

Which is better stacking crit multi or melee fire? I’m going for a flame reave build

[faint cape]

No, shock isn't CC at all, it just makes enemies take more lightning damage by reducing their lightning resistance

[faint cape]

You want both

[faint tartan]

so Frostbite Frostclaw Sorc is much more CC than a Spark Charge Mana Strike Spellblade bc one plays around freezing and one around shocking?

I can add planners if it depends on the build

[faint cape]

Yes, though you don't really play around shock, you only need like 10 stacks and it's capped out

[faint tartan]

thanks.

In a video guide, a char loses hp while having 5-7k ward. How does that work? Does smth bypass ward? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iDQ-RjdPiAY

[native sail]

They have a Twisted Heart of Uhkeiros on, every time they cast an elemental spell they sacrifice some health to gain ward. There are a few damage sources that bypass ward as well but they cannot kill you.

[faint tartan]

I see!! makes sense, I just saw the tooltip. did see it because I checked the advanced gear, not endgame 😄

[mighty nova]

hey, I remember hearing something somewhere about how new characters will get some kind of boost through Monoliths from higher level characters to reduce monolith grind on later characters. am I remembering that right, and if so, how does it work?

[toxic echo]

most of the details are not known...but its in the #news post

[acoustic thicket]

Im not sure this player is asking about event. Maybe its about glyph of envy

[fleet gull]

When im buying a skin while playing a character online. Can I use the skin for my next offline character? I mainly playing on Steam Deck and so glad that I dont have to be online permanently.

[toxic echo]

mtx is only available online

[bold cairn]

sup travelers, the affix shards i get from shattering doesnt matter the tier riight? all shards works the same for all the first 5 tiers?

[sullen verge]

good morning

what does this mean

Dropped from:
God Hunter Argentus (The Stolen Lance Timeline) - 6% chance (up to 48% chance with increased item rarity)

how can i get the increased item rarity. is it corruption?

[faint cape]

It only matters when shattering, like you salvage an item with a T5 cold res affix, you could get up to 5 cold res shards. Shards are shards, doesn't matter where they came from

[faint cape]

Corruption and echo modifiers (the things on each echo that last 1-3 echoes)\

[sullen verge]

is it easy to max it for that 48% ?

[bold cairn]

nice thx

[gusty heron]

Where can I find out what resistances I need for each act as I progress

[bold cairn]

can an item drop 2 or more exalted affixes?

[bold cairn]

u can forge resistance u need with F

[gusty heron]

Yes but does each chapter call for needing certain res over other

[bold cairn]

with shards, and u can extract those shards with runes of shattering buying them on every store

[bold cairn]

eeee idk bro, just cap them all xd

[gusty heron]

lol ok cool ty

[dense jay]

Yes, but it is more likely with nemesis empowering

[desert tree]

Yes, but it should be pretty clear when you enter a zone what kind of res will be 'needed

[gusty heron]

Ok thank you.

[dense jay]

I rest in peace when i see Sacred Bloom in the mono and foresee the bombardment

[hasty basin]

hello guys

I see people say "Use Aerial Assault to Buff the Ballista" but what does it buff?

[faint cape]

This is the node

[hasty basin]

ah i see

do i need to use Assault after summoning Ballista to get them effected?

if i use Assault first then summon Ballita, these Ballista doesnt get the boost right

[faint cape]

Right, they have to be summoned already to get the buff

[sullen verge]

how can i farm relics that have this for me to optimise my runes of ascendancy?

[hasty basin]

thanks ❤️

[dense jay]

I think it means u see this at at least rank 1

[faint cape]

Easiest way is to just set up a filter to highlight Circle-tagged relics, optionally grab some relic prophecies (all proph-generated items are tagged)

[dense jay]

Or any cof tagged item like Toast said

I didnt realize that rank 2 cof effect exists. I never use ascendance lmao

[sullen verge]

how can i tell which timelines i havent defeated a harbringer in eyt?

[dense jay]

Press Y, you should have access to Forgotten Knight faction

The other tab (not the rank) shall show you which harbinger is done

[sullen verge]

whats a fast way for farming omnis?

[grand shoal]

There is no fast way beside being lucky.

Hunt for shades that are far away from the center. You can see the base corruption, aim for 10 or higher and be super lucky then.

Worst case you will still need a 2 digit kill count for every one Amulet

[storm wren]

Any builds which accept this belt,,, Mana stack builds welcome it or not? I guess it's good for gaining ward and mana by costing potions 🤔

T6 potion converted to ward + T5 increase mana regen by using potions

[fierce swan]

Ward / mana stacker would work for both.

[storm wren]

🫡 But the bast way to use this belt is slamming it with a unique belt

[sullen verge]

which time line is lagon at

[grand shoal]

End of Storm

[sullen verge]

any tips for farming omnis ??

im struggling with corruption level

[brisk helm]

hello! im new to the game and i just wanna ask a noob question. seems like im overleveled somehow since i go around the map clearing it. like im level 22 when the place im in says its level 17. is it advisable to clear maps or just run through it and just go through the next place to complete the campaign?

[torn sierra]

Make sure your timeline is at a minimum of 200 corruption and then go as far out from the center as you can before killing a shade. The number underlined in red can go up to +18, the higher it is then the higher your odds of dropping an omnis.

[surreal verge]

As high corruption as possible and murder a shade as far away as possible are the only ways

[storm wren]

616 bonus corruption...

[sullen verge]

can i just do it at 200 corruption? im really struggling with corruption levels

[storm wren]

I even struggle with 587 corruption only 😵

[sullen verge]

omnis is the last thing i need for my build before i can roll my bis

[torn sierra]

yes you can stay at 200c

[sullen verge]

im struggling at 350 corruption

[surreal verge]

You can, but the odds would be lower

[torn sierra]

but the odds will increase with corruption increases

[sullen verge]

okay i see

what are the numbers for omnis drop rate anyways xD

[storm wren]

Which build are you playing to control so much corruption? @torn sierra

Want to check out your planner

[surreal verge]

15% chance base at 200c

[torn sierra]

it's a very minmaxed blast rain marksman based on Volca's build on maxroll

[sullen verge]

THATS WHAT IM PLAYING

omnis is last thing i need

[storm wren]

lol Then it's interesting

[sullen verge]

i get random one shots at around 300 corruption atm but im not min maxed yet

i have near bis belt and every other unique has 1 or 2 legendary bis affixes but like u need 4 in min max and ur exalts need to be crazy rolls and crafts

[torn sierra]

its a very squishy build, even when minmaxed

[sullen verge]

yeah def. its glass cannon

i see people with builds that can go up to 4000 corruption in 1,1 cycle

[torn sierra]

i've been playing it at around 1000c but certain echo mods and enemies can be pretty rippy

it relies completely on just not getting hit lol

[storm wren]

I can guess your reaction is super fast because rogue supposed to be squishy

[dense jay]

I have a few omnis and i never use them . Just using crafted exalted until i get nihilist from abby but i foresee i wont clear abby

[fierce swan]

Stay a few lvls within map lvl and just keep at it till story is done 🙂

[dense jay]

Scarletttt

[dense jay]

I would advise to just clear story quest and side quests and not clear the entire map cuz you will be delaying getting reputation for your faction and also skill specialization as you need to kill mob while the skills are specialized to gain skill points (higher level map, higher exp). Also, overall progression

But uhh... if you enjoy clearing map during campaign, you do you 😄. I do that back in D2

[sullen verge]

welp im settling for 15%

i keep reseting to 200 corruption then doing one echo then doing the echo of a world that spawns from that echo then repeaet

until i get omnis

[dense jay]

U will almost never get it that way due to distance

U will only see ring drop 99% of the time

Like many have mentioned, item dropped by orobyss scales on corruption and distance. Just focusing on one wont do you good

[grand shoal]

Outliers even among the strong builds, don't watch out too much for such things

[grand shoal]

You probably won't see an Omnis from the catch up shade. As we told you, to farm Omnis, you need to kill shades far from center

[dense jay]

Volinnnnnn 👋

[urban minnow]

I want to merge my 1.0 character into legacy. I’m changing to 1.0 in the drop down menu in my stash, all my stuff appears and merge button appears. I click said button but nothing happens and it even looks unclickable. Did I misunderstand smth?

[cedar locust]

Your crafting materials, gold and Favor will have transferred however you'll notice when you choose 1.0, the words 'Remove Only' appear under Stash. This means you can remove those items from the tabs, into your inventory, then place them into your Legacy Stash Tabs but the 1.0 tabs themselves do not merge into your Legacy tabs

[urban minnow]

Okay thanks, I guess I’m not fully understanding the concept of merging. I thought something’s visibly gonna happen and button would disappear after as well as 1.0 tab.

[cedar locust]

It's okay! The button remains just in case, though I agree the could be more 'visual pizazz' to make it clear it worked 😅

[dense jay]

Ave, do you experience any beacon freeze?

It is still happening to me albeit not really that important as i dont mind dying but feels like it shouln't be an issue considering I didn't encounter this in 1.0

[grand shoal]

around 50/50 for me

[dense jay]

oh you too Volin? okay good to know its not just me

[grand shoal]

I know my teammate has the same issues. Funny is, either we have both a lag (usually around 1-2sec), or none of us

[dense jay]

Yes! either that or none but mine is completely solo

[grand shoal]

Yeah but I find it interesting, that the lag in a team either occurs for both or not. Kinda uncommon for lags usually, or

[dense jay]

So there must be a trigger at the point of activating the beacon but we dont know what is it. It affects both solo and multiplay session

[cedar locust]

I've not experienced it in my normal gameplay yet, though I just upgraded my laptop so I can put in some hours doing more targeted testing 🙂

[languid vortex]

how do i check my character name. is the name i created during the creation of the character?

[surreal verge]

It's also right at the top of your char sheet.

[languid vortex]

thanks!

[storm wren]

Why my spells scales to lightning only but the confluence of fate still can help me increase flat spell damage? And which one it scales my lightning spells?

I compared both of them and I'm no idea why the first one will give me more dps than the second one

[urban fossil]

it doesnt scale you lightning, it scales your spell damage overall. and if spell has huge multipliers like static orb for example this amulet is getting even higher value

[storm wren]

...But why its description said spell fire/spell necrotic/spell void only

[urban fossil]

you can add any flat spell damage to your spell and it will work.

so for example when you cast static orb your static orb will hit not only with lightning but it will have fire/necro/void portion of damage with this amulet

[storm wren]

... I'll suppose it increase these types of spell flat damage only

[storm wren]

Do you have ideas for the second question?

Oh I don't get what "increase xxx damage taken on hit" too. Is it for me or for enemies?

😢 They're still confusing after I switch language to my native one so I suppose it's the issue of tooltip

[surreal verge]

For you. You take more Void, Necrotic, and Fire.

[storm wren]

which spell flat damage will be scaled to my spells, fire, necrotic or void?

I owns triple ones:
#1 - 15 spell fire damage/15 spell necrotic damage/15 spell void damage, 6840 dps for frost claw/ 152706 dps for static orb
#2 - 13 spell fire damage/17 spell necrotic damage/17 spell void damage, 6886 dps for frost claw/ 153741 dps for static orb
#3 - 14 spell fire damage/17 spell necrotic damage/17 spell void damage, 6922 dps for frost claw/ 154543 dps for static orb

Update: Oh the bonus is scaled with the total flat spell damage nor single one.

[red ember]

This is what I'm met with, for the second time in a row, in trying to enter Coral Pool zone in CHapter 8 in story, have submitted bug report

[sudden trellis]

Did they give a date on cycle 3 start?

[twin oak]

no

[novel cobalt]

My game keeps freezing when i open the map.. is something going on?

[cedar locust]

Which map?

[gusty heron]

So newish to game and ARPG's in general and torn between runemaster or warlock which of these 2 can you all recommend speciall for leveling and c;earing fast?

[storm wren]

...What happened?

I can't see the environment completely 😅

[sly fable]

You need to look at specifically what the passives/items say they will increase.

1. First of all, the spell damage type tag only tells you what untyped spell damage will be converted to. This is exclusively (I think) found on weapons. My staff has +111 spell damage on it. Not Spell fire or spell lightning, just spell. If I'm casting static orb, that damage is +111 lightning damage

2. All added spell damage is added to any spell. Anything with the spell tag. It retains its type. Confluence of Fate adds fire, necrotic, and void damage, and your static orb is dealing that damage, at high effectiveness

3. Static orb have lots of nodes that cause static orb to deal more damage. They do not specify a type. So any damage that static orb deals, regardless of type, will be increased by those nodes

In short, if you add flat necrotic spell damage to your static orb, it is increased by everything that specifies spell, necrotic, or static orb, and is only not increased by things that specify lightning or elemenetal or other similar things

[storm wren]

Yeah the issue is it said spell xxx damage nor spell damage.

[sly fable]

That isn't an issue. If it says spell necrotic damage, then it adds that as necrotic damage to any spell

When you have items like this, your static orb is dealing multiple different types of damage. Primarily lightning because it's base damage, and the flat damage from your staff/wand/sceptre, are all adding lightning damage.

[storm wren]

...The question is static orb is lightning damage all the time, no node can convert it into another damage. So it's not relevant to necrotic/void/fire damage at all...It's one of spell damage only. But tooltip of this amulet tell me another types of damage

[faint cape]

In English, this is the most correct way to phrase it. If it was something like "xxx spell damage" it might be more often misinterpreted that it would only apply to xxx spells.

[storm wren]

😂 ...Where the spell and xxx on isn't the point. The point is why it highlight "fire/necrotic/void"

[faint cape]

Because that's the type of damage it adds

[storm wren]

yeah it's. So it shouldn't add lightning damage

[faint cape]

Right, it doesn't add lightning damage

[storm wren]

oh frost claw can convert to fire damage so it can be scaled with. I can get it. But static orb is lightning damage all the time.

[faint cape]

If you have an unspecced static orb, it just deals lightning damage. Equip the amulet, and then it deals a mixture of lightning, fire, necrotic, and void damage

[surreal verge]

Flat damage in LE, is added to the related skill type no matter the damage type.

EG: +10 fire spell damage is added to all spells, no matter the damage type the spell is.

[storm wren]

that's the point. If spell xxx damage can apply to any spell damage why it add xxx

[sly fable]

I'm starting to struggle what your confusion is

[surreal verge]

Because of damage type scaling, it still deals xxx type damage.

Eg: A fireball that deals 10 fire damage, gains 5 cold damage somehow.

100% increased fire damage would turn it to deal 25 damage.
100% increased spell damage would turn it to deal 30 damage.
100% increased cold damage would turn it to deal 20 damage.

[sly fable]

For example, if you have a lightning spell that deals 5 damage, and you add 5 necrotic damage to it, it now deals 10 damage, 5 of which is lightning and 5 of which is necrotic

If you have a lightning spell that deals 5 damage, and you add 5 spell damage to it (from a wand or whatever), it now deals 10 damage, all of it lightning

[sly fable]

Yes, great example.

I'm building disintegrate. It is a Damage over time ability and it's lightning tagged. I have something like 1200% increased elemental damage over time on my gear. For me, adding void damage to the spell doesn't do very much. Sure, it adds the damage, but it doesn't get increased by my elemental damage over time gear, so it's not as effective as if I were able to add lightning damage (or fire or cold)

I also have a node in the disintegrate tree that specifies that it gives more lightning damage. It's currently giving me a 250% more multiplier, but only to my lightning damage. So adding cold or fire isn't very good, either

If I wear confluence of fate, I get very little more damage on disintegrate overall, because a large amount of my bonuses apply only to elemental, and a signficant portion of my bonuses only apply specifically to lightning

[surreal verge]

But if we're someone who already scales spell damage instead of x damage type, then Confluence still helps because we're scaling ALL spell damage.

[storm wren]

🤔
I deal 10 spell lightning damage, the amulet give me 5 spell fire damage/6 spell necrotic damage/7 spell void damage.
The result is generated by spell damage, spell damage include all of them, so my spell damage is 10+5+6+7=28 damage.
but my spell lightning damage still 10. Oh... Get the name of this amulet now

😅 I suppose the dps is generated by spell lightning damage only

[sly fable]

I don't think so. At least my disintegrate tooltip dps increases for any damage I add, of any type

[storm wren]

Mislead by lightning tags from skills

[sly fable]

I....guess? It's just a mechanic of the game you have to learn

It's pretty intuitive for me

[storm wren]

I'd thought a skill which own lightning tag means the damage is spell lighting damage only but the fact is spell damage

[sly fable]

What the "lightning" tag means is that the base damage is lightning, and all untyped spell damage will be lightning

But it does not mean that you can't add other damage types to the spell

That said, other spell damage types are somewhat rare, only on some unique items

If you don't use any of those unqiues, your spell will deal 100% lightning damage

[storm wren]

🤔 My suggestion will cut fire/necrotic/void, just go directly.
+15 spell fire damage/+15 spell necrotic damage/+15 spell void damage -> +45 spell damage

[sly fable]

lol, no way. Ridiculously overpowered

[storm wren]

why? Isn't the same meaning? 🤔

[sly fable]

+45 spell damage would increase my disintegrate damage by ~40%

+45 necrotic/fire/void spell damage increases my disintegrate damage by about 6%

[storm wren]

oh yeah elemental overtime damage VS elemental damage. I don't know what the difference

[stoic lark]

hi im new to this game. i hit level 100 and, i respecced a few of my points in one of my skills. but now im realizing the exp bar for that skill is not going up?

[sly fable]

No, necrotic and void aren't even elemental damage, they aren't affected by anything except increases to necrotic or void damage, or by spell damage in the case of disintegrate

Like....Yeah, ok, I think you just need a better handle on how damage is calculated to see why it matters what type of damage something is

[surreal verge]

You'll need to reearn the XP. You should be able to hit 18 pretty quickly

[sly fable]

Max skill level is 20. After you reach level 20 in a skill, it will no longer increase

[surreal verge]

+45 spell damage means it will adapt to the skill type of the spell, which means it will always be a massive increase instead of having to mess with % X increased

[stoic lark]

weird it doesn't seem as if the bar is going up

i have 23 ranks to it and i respecced down to 19

[sly fable]

If it's under 20, it's definitely going up if you're level 100 and fighting in empowered monoliths

It should take only a few echoes to get back to 20 (or 23 if you have a +3 on your items)

[storm wren]

How to mess with increased xxx damage?

😅 I'm confused

[storm wren]

why special spell damage will reduce the bonus? Aren't all of them spell damage?

[surreal verge]

Because most normal builds scale both spell damage and X damage, X being the damage type.

[hard turtle]

my build scales the amount of cookies i can consume

without getting sick

[sly fable]

OK, let's just say that your spell deals lightning, fire, and necrotic damage. What do they scale with?
If you have increased/more spell damage? All benefit
If you have increased/more lightning damage? Only lightning benefits
If you have increased/more elemental damage? Lightning and fire benefit
If you have increased/more necrotic damage? Only Necrotic benefits

If you take all typed bonuses and make them all untyped bonuses, then ALL the damage scales from ALL the same stuff, making it WAY easier to scale the damage

[hard turtle]

whats the deal with necrotic damage? is it niche or worth pursuing long term?

[surreal verge]

Example:
You have 500% increased spell damage and 500% increased fire damage.

You have 10 fire damage as base.

IF you gain 10 cold and 10 lighting:
Your total damage would be ( 10 x [100+ 500+500]% )fire + (10 x [100+500%])cold + (10 x [100+500%]) lightning=
110 + 60+60= 230.

IF you gain 20 adaptive:
Your total damage would be (30 x [100+500+500]%) fire= 330

[surreal verge]

It's a damage type like fire or cold, unless your skills are doing necrotic damage, why would you scale it?

[hard turtle]

i know its a damage type, but what is it's function in the game aside from just being an additional damage type? whats the use for it?

is it just a class-specific damage type and that's the reason it exists?

[surreal verge]

It's jsut another damage type.

It's the undead damage type, mostly used by acolyte.

[hard turtle]

ah ok

would explain why i didn't know what it was for, since i havent played an acolyte yet haha

so necrotic damage can mostly be filtered out of my loot if i'm, say, a paladin or a sorc, right? (with exceptions for exotic off-meta builds i guess)?

[storm wren]

🤔 any ways are available to test how much dps I has if I can get the same spell damage bonus with the amulet?

Kzb's progress inspired me to figure out the real result...

[surreal verge]

Yeah

[stoic lark]

yeah it was bugged and had to restart my game

[storm wren]

If my damage is fire, flat spell damage bonus will plus it directly.
If my damage is fire, flat spell fire damage bonus will plus it directly.
If my damage is fire converted to cold, flat spell fire damage bonus still be effected but less than flat spell damage because cold damage don't be affected.

So the reason why specialize in many types of damage is make sure many types of damage can't get double bonus to control the number?

If the damage is untyped then it should no difference on spell damage or spell xxx damage

[surreal verge]

This prevents you from using a cold-based unique to buff a fire build, for example.

[surreal verge]

Correct, flat damage is typed to 'nerf' it.

[storm wren]

hah this is the point why I'm confused! So if I wear this amulet, isn't mean I'm using a void/necrotic/fire-based unique item to boost a lightning build? How EHG avoid this case?

[reef lance]

How to get gold in legacy mode? It's even difficult to buy tabs in the stash. xD

[sly fable]

How come?

I often see this complaint from people who are hoarding pages and pages of items that they will never use. If you're spending all of your gold on stash tabs, you should probably consider rethinking what is worth stashing

[novel lotus]

New update 3,2gb, what new?

I don't see patch notes

[tranquil flicker]

You can find the info about it here: #news message

[sly fable]

Yes, and that amulet is far less powerful this way. If it added untyped damage, it would be significantly more powerful for your build since your increases to lightning damage would fully benefit it

But it's value is less for your build because the damage is typed

[bold cairn]

sup bro, i think i get u, what u re not understanding, is that the amulet itself is giving u more spell damage, not lighting one nor flat one, but necrotic, fire and void one, it goes from 0 necrotic damage to 15, and so on wiht other typesm, ur lighting damage is not the one benefittin from it, but the spell itself, that is ganing like 45 spell damage from 3 different types, that still multiplies by all ur increased spell damage

ure not gettin any lighting damage, any of it, but u still gain more dps as u gain spell damage, not the one u really want tho, as other people say, if it was flat spell damage or even better, lighting one, u would be benefitting way better as it scales with ur affixes

[bold cairn]

they dont, is intended for other type of builds

[dusty jetty]

Hello guys! I have question. I did 3 times Lagon on 100 lvl. His blessing (with mana) is RNG to drop with 33%? I had 3 times lighting ressistance and maybe i do something bad.

[bold cairn]

just unlucky i guess?

[dusty jetty]

sheeesh. Perhaps. I love griding, but this is annoying atm

[storm wren]

🫡 Get it. Then just nerf the number is fine, figure out how much spell damage bonus need to be reduced to get the same result with spell xxx damage by the same build

My point is it's too odd that you can bonus a type of damage by an amulet which bonus different types of spell damage

I'll say nothing if this amulet only work on fire damage/necrotic damage/void damage builds and builds which mix with them because it's a fire/necrotic/void-based unique item

[nova raven]

who can help that when entering the corral backwaters location, the location does not load, just a brown texture, the character can only use skills

[tranquil flicker]

Try repairing your game via Steam and if that doesn't solve the issue, please submit an in game bug report from that location. Not only will your written report help, but it'll take a screenshot of the area you're in and also attach the log files. Then they can take a closer look at the files and better be able to approach any potential issues.

[nova raven]

@tranquil flickerI've already done this, but I thought there might be a known problem.

[tranquil flicker]

All additional info is helpful to be able to investigate, that's why I suggest the bug report.

[sly fable]

This makes every item a generalist item. I think that's much worse. It's much better if items can be more valuable for certain builds than others

Do minions scale with the appropriate attribute? If so, what scales? Damage? Health?

[storm wren]

minion damage/minion health.

Yeah it's not break its value, just make sure this amulet works for builds with fire/necrotic/void damage nor all of spell damage

[sly fable]

minion damage and minion health is inceased by intelligence for summon skeleton?

[storm wren]

increased by both of them, so you need minion damage/intelligence together

You'll see skill tag is minion, intelligence

[sly fable]

Yeah, great! This just isn't reflected in the game guide explicitly. Good to know

[storm wren]

but then intelligence will more important because all skills scale to it. But it's no matter if you can increase over 1000% minion damage 🤭

[storm wren]

and it means spell damage/necrotic damage will not scale with your minions, be care! I had made this mistake :)

[fleet gull]

Hey everyone, for the new uprising patch:

1. I would like to start a new character on legacy tomorrow nevertheless there is the patch. Does the patch will effect me in any possible bad way as a legacy player?
2. Are there specific infos about the upcoming "steam deck Verification"? I only heard better Gameplay experience.

[bold cairn]

as i said, is intended for other type of builds, and u re still missing the main point

[bold cairn]

ur lighting damage is not buffing, ur spell damage is buffing, so any spell mod will buff all the added fire, necrotic and void spell damage that the amulet itself is giving

the amulet is not intended to buff necrotic, fire or void damage, is intented to GIVE you those spell types

so why you get more dps on ur lighting build? coz u are adding more types of damage tho the skill, fire, void and nectrotic, so ur skill will do 4 types of damage, probably a lot of lighting damage and a little of the added types

[wicked plover]

has anyone figured out the code displayed on 1.3

[halcyon tundra]

New player here having a question about gear.. What am I supposed to do, when looking for better gear, I usually find something "better" damage-wise, but if I switch to that, I most probably lack resistances if I use them 😅 Seems like hell of a work to remove stats from every item to match the previous resistances

[hidden trellis]

Personally, I don't worry too much about defensives until I'm pretty deep into monoliths

by the time you make it there you'll have higher tier affixes on your gear as well + some other defensive stats from your blessings

[faint cape]

It's the flavor text on the weaver boots

[wicked plover]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw okay, thought it was some sort of spoiler/teaser
thank you ❤️

[faint cape]

In a way it kind of is, in case the spidery-webby stuff left any doubt, it's gotta have something to do with the Weaver 😄

[wicked plover]

well yea, i thought the image was obvious enough ^^

[primal fjord]

why cant i deselected this

i can in some but not this one

errr even know it was selected the harb didnt spawn... wtf

[faint cape]

It means you don't have enough corruption in that timeline to summon the harbinger. It would probably be more clear if it showed it without the checkmark in the box.

[primal fjord]

oic, well good cuz i prolly couldnt beat it 🤣

[faint cape]

Heh, works out in the end at least 😄

There is plan to make real warrior class to game to?

The only thing you cant change is the mastery. You can do w.e you want other than that

[novel lotus]

something wrong with this map? i can't dp anything(port 3 time)

[tranquil flicker]

It's a known issue, if you can submit an in game bug report it would be greatly appreciated. All additional info is helpful. 👍

[dense jay]

Le wild Ave appear at this time is

[sullen verge]

ive had 14 styimed fate drops which is 16.67% drop chance and not a single omnis which is 15% drop chance

[surreal verge]

Unlike omnis where it has a chance to never drop, you'll always drop either a siphon or a styimed.

[dense jay]

Can confirm this. I raised corruption for 9 timelines recently via catch up orobyss and the shoe did drop albeit lower rate. 99% still ring drop

[storm wren]

😅 Still that point. It's anti-intuitive. Why spell fire/spell void/spell necrotic damage can bonus spell lightning damage is the first reaction when I see this tooltip.

why it can't bonus spell fire/spell necrotic/spell void damage buils and builds which mix with them on the opposite?

Bonus these spell types of damage to increase spell damage...And lightning tags on skills clearly...

I asked double solutions too.

1. Scaled the value of spell damage with current value after plus three of them, cut fire/necrotic/void and go directly
2. Let the amulet works on spell fire/spell necrotic/spell void damage buils and builds which mix with them only

[surreal verge]

The 1st one would super buff the item, which the devs DO NOT want. It's done this way on purpose.

[storm wren]

Then remain #2

[surreal verge]

That would ruin a lot of other interactions on flat X effects.

[grand shoal]

Anti-intuitive for you 🙂

I would say it works as expected for me.

[storm wren]

How it will be ruined another flat spell types of damage

🤔 No idea why it work as you expected

Do your build relevant to fire/necrotic/void?

[surreal verge]

Some builds rely on stacking as much flat spell damage as possible ignoring the damage type and just build % increased spell damage.

[storm wren]

Do any builds like that from mage or lich?

😂 Maybe I need to play one to feel it deeply so I can get why this amulet work as this way

[grand shoal]

Yeah, I mean, Wrongwarp 🤷‍♂️

[sly fable]

The amulet works this way to cut its power in generalist builds and provide alternate build paths that try to scale damage differently. That's it

To create an interesting item that can be built around

[storm wren]

🤔 Alright I guess the key is frozensentinel not play a lightning build so...

oh I find another anti-intuitive example is Frozen had recommended Marina's Lost Soul as an alternative. This wand is add flat spell necrotic damage...🤔 But it can match with the confluence oof fate seamlessly because it includes spell necrotic damage, but the result is plus another types of damage from amulet too... And I'm running spell lightning damage

I guess add "spell" in front of damage is because sceptre can do melee damage

[stoic lark]

if im target farming for vaion's boots should i do regular arena or endless

[storm wren]

🙃 Fine i still can't get why spell damage work as this way. No sense

No matter that which flat spell dmaage you bonus, wrongwrap always the best even there's a wand for lightning skills specially. So why EHG give us triboelectra if it's the best choice for none of builds?...

and if the amulet suppose to work as this way why no items give me more spell lightning damage so I can understand, oh this item must for lightning builds?

Spell necrotic damage for necrotic skills only, spell fire damage for fire skills only, why this rule just can't work in this game?

[surreal verge]

Flat melee damage works the same way.
+50 flat fire melee damage boosts all melee skills for 50 fire damage

Flat boosts is tied to the skill type and not the damage type

[storm wren]

if it's not tie to damage type why dmage type tags in skill tags?

All of them is spell is fine. Lightning is useless

Too ridiculous that +3 level of lightning skills still can't catch up the extra damage from wrongwrap...

The only shortness of wrongwrap is you must find one which -3 mana cost. Over 3 is failed

The conflict between a skill must cost over 40 mana to get the damage bonus and wand try hard to reduce your mana cost lol

[surreal verge]

Because flat damage that doesn’t have a damage type will become that damage type

[dense jay]

I dont play mages at all but i assume you just have get alot of skill nodes that increase mana cost

[surreal verge]

It’s also an indicator of what it’s original damage type is.
Also tied to things that give effects tied to damage type

An easy example would be ignite.
We have generic chance to ignite and chance to ignite with fire skills

man - it took me 270 hrs to get 2 characters to lvl 100 in LE. Is that normal? By comparison, it has taken 178 hrs to grind 6 lvl 100 characters in diablo 4...

[desert tree]

Lvl 100 is an achievement, not smth you are required to hit in order to be full powered

The difference in power between lvl 95-100 (5 passives pts) is super small

So yes it is normal, reaching lvl 100 take quite a while (especially those last lvls)

[faint cape]

Pretty much we just kill a lot of undead enemies, presumably all working toward a community kill count or something. We don't have a lot of details yet

[upbeat imp]

Is it normal to took me 800h to level double characters up to lv.100?

How are they level up so fast is the puzzle I never solve

[desert tree]

How much corruption were you doing? How efficient and fast are inside ans outside echoes?
2 questions that will influence greatly your lvl 100 speed

I in fact is the opposite, i dont know why the emphasis on getting to lv 100 and i dont think it takes that long

also it dont reset anymore? 🤔

Big Ouch Toast... Big Ouch

[pallid cypress]

i have found the temporal sanctum / legendary creation system to be very frustrating this cycle. The grind/effort to get even 1 copy of a desired legendary with even 1 LP is huge. Add a grind to get keys to even attempt it. Now that the good items require a lvl IV temporal sanctum run, even with a really strong build (currently grinding over 500 corruption), I was unable to beat Julra reliably until around lvl 95. Add the difficulty in getting a decent purple item with T7 affixes, and the inevitable disappointment of RNG giving you an undesired affix...it's just too much to be fun.

[surreal verge]

can't beat Julra reliably
What? She's effectively a 200c boss.

[pallid cypress]

i found her one-shot mechanics difficult to deal with, and since it requires a key and long dungeon run, it was also frustrating to practice and get better at it

[dense jay]

Ouch Kzb Ouch... fight normally? or burst b4 her second time bomb? I can only do the latter after slamming weapon, body and fixing my crit chance

[dense jay]

Some peepo practice by going lower tier, but yea it still cost a key

[surreal verge]

You mean "Press the dungeon specific button"? That's the only one-shot iirc

[pallid cypress]

her freeze wave and her rotating void beam one shot me no matter how much shield/ward/armor I apply. There actually are many cheesy boss moves that one shot almost any build. Julra is one of the more difficult fights, and that long run to even attempt it is really bad design IMO.

[surreal verge]

.... Those aren't supposed to one shot sir.

[pallid cypress]

lol - ok. i would be impressed to see someone just standing there tanking them

[dense jay]

I can stand and tank and leech back but definitely not in the rotating beam

[surreal verge]

Most builds should be able to take one hit of it and not die.

The beams are DoTs, which to be fair, you should walk out IMMEDIATELY and are perfectly dodgable by walking.

[dense jay]

Max HP plays a big role

[pallid cypress]

i guess my point is - they should just make the legendary forge be available like the normal forge. it's exciting when you finally get something decent to slam, and the process of defying the odds on both a desired legendary with LP and the right purple item is enough grind

the temporal sanctum run and julra fight is too intense for 1 chance at slamming. at least let players forge as much as they want and don't limit to 1 attempt for 1 piece of gear per run

[surreal verge]

This is very likely done to make min maxing effectively a major skill and grind check, considering most builds SHOULD be able to pass 200c without LP uniques.

[pallid cypress]

i like the game, but the inaccessible legendary forge mixed with the inability to skip the campaign each cycle will likely cause me to not play future cycles unless they change it. the maps are so huge and the pace that low level / poorly geared characters can run through it is so slow. It's just so boring to get to the more fun grind.

[surreal verge]

Errr, you can clear a campaign in like 8 hours from fresh.

[storm wren]

congratulations! Both of us did it

[storm wren]

What? I had thought she's 300 corruption boss all the time lol

The max corruption condition in prophecies and forgotten knight is 300 c so it's become the rule of a graduated build for me

😅 Too amazing that I can't kill T4 Julra with wraithlord necromancer before indeed

[bold cairn]

no bro, coz the amulet doesnt work as u want doesnt mean its wrong

the amulet is right, leave it as it is

[bold cairn]

IT DOESNT HAVE TO BE RELEVANT TO FIRE NEC OR VOID BRO

u can just use it to trigger or proc other stuff

srsly bro, the amulet is intended FOR OTHER BUILDS, stop forcing it

[split laurel]

Sorry if this has been answered already. The topic of ignite. What are the scaling modifiers? LE Tools only show Damage over time as a tag. Does this mean that Fire damage, elemental damage over time and fire penetration have no effect on the ignite stacks?

[surreal verge]

Ignite deals fire damage, so it scales with fire.
SO it would scale with fire, dot, elemental dot, fire pen, fire shred.

[glass monolith]

also, first lvl100 take more time than next ones... and also not the same to lvl a Tanky Char than a Glass-cannon with high dps char... its like "half the time"

[split laurel]

Excellent, thank you much!

[grand shoal]

I find it interesting to read over and over that lvl 100 would be such a long way. As someone who played PoE in the early days, 100 is so insane fast here in LE 😄

[bold cairn]

u think too square shaped bro

flex that mind a little

[viral coral]

Do Arcane Current and Arcane Flames work with disintegrate? I see some catching on fire but that might be my gear and im not seeing any lightning anywhere while doing it however ALOT is happening with disintegrate so idk

[bold cairn]

think outside the box, creativy rewards u in this game

[bold cairn]

idk took me one hour to lvl from 74 to 75 haha im still a noob on my first run tho

1 hour per level is A LOT

[viral coral]

So i tried another lightning spell and it is very evident when it happens, same with Arcane Flames. If anyone else had this question no it looks like disintegrate doesnt proc those passives.

[grand shoal]

I didn't level my first...like 4 (?) chars not even to 100. But that was never planned or expected at all. Usually I see me in a spot in ARPGs where I would never expect me to even ever reach max level. 🙂 But comming from D2 and PoE experience here, and more casual there usually.
Got addicted here and guess I really can't call myself a casual player in LE anymore.

I will also never understand how fast the super quick guys level, I needed a few weeks for 100 and CoF12. But for me the "length" to get there seems just about right

[bold cairn]

sorry cant help u with mage haha i believe the #🧙┃mage thread will be better

[bold cairn]

in poe never got to 100, the game is too old and antisocial for me, on D4 i power level after my first character an probabnly got used to that, im more into late game content doin late game builds, than wasting too much time leveling, but each their own i guess, some people enjoy the journey

i would love more flex on this game when respecting (yes, im talkin to u skill respect) coz that way i can try like a lot of things without being punished

also mastery lock

i hate mastery lock xD i will have to create and lvl 3 primalist? damn

[grand shoal]

But I mean, the game has a lot of tools for raising some quick toons after you have one bigger char, some faction progress and some equipment stashed

[bold cairn]

oooh nice good to know, as i said, im on my first character on 75

wanna get to 100 b4 reset

and try ward and endurance stuff

[storm wren]

yeah no way to change it unfortunately...Going to farm exalted helmets and selecting prophecies now

[bold cairn]

just dont think too hard on those items, ignore them xD

[storm wren]

That amulet is too confusing really

[grand shoal]

I raised my last char, probably my main now, in less then a half day of playing time from lvl1 to around 450 corruption. But ofc with a rank12 faction and 2-3 nice legendarys/uniques and the help of a few waypoints from a friend. Envy Runes did the rest. So I see a lot room for testing, once you are familiar with everything

[grand shoal]

Take your time, explore the game, the mechanics and everything - and you will raise your future chars faster and faster

[grand shoal]

Btw you know both don't work together?

[bold cairn]

dude u dont know how glad i am to read this

[bold cairn]

make sense, as one prevents hp from dropping and the other triggers when low HP

[faint cape]

Yes, technically endurance doesn't trigger though, it's always active. That means it still helps against one-shots.

[tranquil pike]

Do we know if there are any plans to rework arena?

[faint cape]

Yeah, they intend to make changes to it, we just don't know what (they probably haven't decided yet, it's not a priority for them atm)

[tranquil pike]

Ah gotcha. I really want to grind out high LP versions of the boots and the ring but arena as it is now is kinda...bland to be honest 😅

[faint cape]

That was a very nice way to phrase it, heh, yeah it's pretty bad. Hopefully some changes come to it sooner rather than later

[tranquil pike]

I did a 30ish hour grind awhile ago and it made me fall to the pits of despair lol

[plush holly]

it's an endgame activity, it would honestly get stale real quick if all you had to do was farm then forge, farm then forge

[pallid cypress]

so you like having a piece of gear with LP that you're not able to upgrade/slam for potentially dozens of levels/hours?

[dense jay]

Technically, you can go lower tier depending on the unique item level itself if t4 is oneshotting you always. There is no difference between tiers other than julra's own drop and the item level range of slammable uniques

As others have mentioned, having decent exalted gears are suffice to fight julra.

[pallid cypress]

It's the item level range requirements, which for many uniques requires tier IV, that is the issue. If the item has a lower requirement, then of course you would run the easier tier. Not saying it can't be done with exalted items, but i do think it's unnecessarily long and difficult to get keys, run the dungeon, and fight julra to get good enough to beat her consistently. All that only to give a 25% chance on a 1 LP item for the affix you want. Seems like that juice is not worth the squeeze - I just don't understand why all of those elements are blocking having fun by upgrading gear

[dense jay]

Yea, I get your point but things are always hardest at the start . That is where you start to feel the power when you overcome the hurdle and slowly slam your unique 1 by 1.

You wont feel the high if there is no low

[surreal verge]

Not a lot of uniques need T4. (46 of them, out of 293 of uniques that can get LP)

[pallid cypress]

i also think that leveling up provides such little power improvement - gear is almost the entire world for breaking through to that good arpg power feel

so it's unnecessarily painful to restrict upgrading gear so much - because it's already incredibly difficult to get the one unique you want (out of the 293), esp with LP

[dense jay]

Hoping the desired affix gets slammed in successfully is a whole different topic though . Many of us slam like 10 - 17 times for that one piece of gear to get what we want

[pallid cypress]

totally - and think about how much time has been spent on temporal sanctum runs (both successful and failed at julra) - it's pretty crazy

dungeon sizes are also a different issue - some of them are just massive

[dense jay]

Movement speed is the only thing that helps.. kill few groups of mob till the gates location are reveal and zoom to it

[trail flame]

Not sure this is the right place to ask, but still - I'm getting terrible screen tearing after the last patch (under the same visual settings I used beforehand). Just me and if there's any solution available?

[pallid cypress]

yea - i get that too - even focusing movement speed - it seems not practical to get much above ~130% without a successful movement speed slam on some boots...which puts you back scraping for keys and doing slow temporal sanctum runs

[dense jay]

There are also some evade/crossing barrier shenenigans if you are into it

[pallid cypress]

not me in this cycle with wrongwarp 😂

[fierce swan]

Put VSync on if not already.

[dense jay]

Fastest way to farm key is prophecies if you are cof. Else, keep killkng mono bosses i guess

[trail flame]

I tried that and it affects things slightly positively. Still feels laggy and there's some tearing.

I wonder what changed in a day.

[dense jay]

Midnight ring seems to work reliably for crossing barriers, equip it during floor 1 and 2, change back at boss room

Scarletttttt! 👋

[fierce swan]

Sometimes a PC can be OP for games and you may need to ajust settings on gfx, unlikely the problem in most cases. Check your gfx card.

[sly fable]

The core question here seems to be: why lock gear behind content. To which my response is...what?

[pallid cypress]

will try, thx!

[trail flame]

You're very kind, but my PC is not OP when it comes to LE.

[fierce swan]

VSync would be the main fix for screen tearing but as you know it can come with input lag, Just need to match the fps.

[storm wren]

lmaooooo where the torch gem come from??? 😂

[pallid cypress]

way over simplified - the core question is: what is the fun/reasonable content threshold for players to unlock gear - which is an absolute requirement to get to an acceptable power threshold.

[trail flame]

I'll test the 'Half' option. It's really annoying to have to use V-Sync. Used to run well at 60 FPS with the occasional lag spike (which may or may not kill you).

[sly fable]

I think that it's currently in a perfectly fine place. The amount of power you can get without ever stepping foot in temporal sanctum is large. The amount to power you can get without stepping into t4 is huge

[trail flame]

Something changed with the last patch...Still, thank you for replying @fierce swan . Cheers!

[fierce swan]

Not sure if the recent update has effected you but i know there has been a few performance fixes.

[fierce swan]

No prob 🙂

[sly fable]

I think there is something to be said for the wrong thing being locked behind the different tiers, though.

[surreal verge]

The acceptable power for devs is for you to be able to hit 500c.
Anything after is 'bonus'.
Anything that hits 1kc or higher is broken.

[sly fable]

1lp stormcarved testament requires t4. 4lp exsanguinous requires tier...what? 2?

So it can feel a little incongruous when the unique you want to slam is 75+ 1lp, and you feel weak

[crystal jackal]

does arena key of memory always start on wave 100 regardless of how high you've cleared previously?

[surreal verge]

100 OR half of your highest(rounded to nearest 10)

[pallid cypress]

i am finally able to roll through 500c after ~120 hours in cycle and at lvl 100. I personally found the grind punishing and too restrictive to be fun - it's very repetitive and boring. It's strange because there is a ton of end game content that I won't even bother with because the gear/blessing/slamming grind is so severe. I would personally strongly prefer to spend ~30-50 hrs per cycle on a different build/character type and have cycles refresh every 3-4 months. I guess LE maybe just isn't made for me.

it's also basically impossible to spec into a different build, even on the same character type (because of the above) - which is annoying to me.

[surreal verge]

I hate to tell you this, you're probably an outliner. (time spent to hit 500c wise)

[crystal jackal]

@surreal verge so if I fail at 400, and want to try and get to 410... I need to do 200 waves first to get to try and push 10 higher?

[surreal verge]

Yes.

[dense jay]

I moved to start an alt cuz my main spend almost a week's time farming favors and prophecies at 700c and get 0 gear progression . My gear still not complete to go 1kc

[crystal jackal]

yeah....F that.....

first and last time I join the arena

[surreal verge]

I don't know anyone sane that plays endless arena.

[crystal jackal]

@surreal verge thanks!

[pallid cypress]

i am curious what i am missing...i am not a theorycrafter - i grabbed the glacier sorcerer build, and that's how long it took to get the gear/level high enough to break through to 500 corruption

[crystal jackal]

LOL.....wait wait wait wait....

[stoic lark]

question - i'm new to Last Epoch so I don't know how common this is but, it seems as if after getting enough damage and stun chance, i can pretty much trivialize T4 Julra by stun locking her. Is this common? And can most bosses be cheesed this way?

[crystal jackal]

so if get to 400 and die..and then try and push again but have to leave and only get to 250....do I then the next time have to start at 130?!?!

[fierce swan]

Not to common but doable, nice build you have to be able to do it 🙂

[slender crystal]

Is there a HC channel? Or a community to join?

[surreal verge]

YOu'll need to do enough damage to stun them, but kinda? Takes quite a lot of damage (You'll just kill them outright anyway), and some bosses are stun immune.

[surreal verge]

No, it checks your highest ever, so 200.

[surreal verge]

I think some people broke 500c in like 80 hours on avg.

[stoic lark]

which bosses are stun immune?

[surreal verge]

I can't find a list, but a good chunk of them don't. You just gotta do enough damage.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/stun (Yes, the formula uses MAX health, you eventually won't be able to do enough damage to even have a chance to stun.)

[crystal jackal]

@surreal verge still not doing that again 😅

[sharp sonnet]

i forget, what is the difference between legacy and cycle characters?

like is there a bonus for doing the cycle?

[hidden trellis]

Legacy has access to everything that you have accumulated over past cycles

All content currently available is accessible in both legacy and cycle currently though

[timid juniper]

If i have several hundred stash tabs in legacy, what's going to happen to my new several hundred stash tabs when it goes into legacy?

[hidden trellis]

The way it works now, is you merge your stashes together and you have access to a dropdown menu where you can select each cycle's stash (please note that the copies of previous cycle stashes are remove-only)

[frigid trench]

How to replace the egg with an item using controller? I think it's broken, I can't seem to put it in.

[hidden trellis]

I've never personally played on controller, but you should be able to navigate to the replace button. Is it not letting you do this?

[frigid trench]

I tried every button. It won't let me place or leave it in the replace box so I can't confirm.

When I hover on the unique item to be placed. It says "Y" but when I press it, it just replaces my current equipped helm lol, and not in the nemesis slot.

[hidden trellis]

it might not help for this specific nemesis, but let me try to get an answer for you! I actually don't even own a controller 😅

just to double check though, this is a unique item that doesn't have any LP on it already?

[frigid trench]

correct

[west ferry]

if only i was able to move a toon to legacy so i can by stash tabs so i can sort it all out

does the price cap out per tab at any point?

[toxic echo]

Nah it goes up every tab

But tabs cap at 200

[west ferry]

so how much is needed for 200? from 1 as you dont pay for the first oe i dont tyhing

i dont think

[toxic echo]

Idr they changed all the prices last cycle

[flint ridge]

have they updated the market so that we can search for rolls etc or is it still the same as release?

[west ferry]

i dont think thats till the new event thing

like do you mean like t7 fire pen and t6 hp

or do you also mean im looking for a 89% out of 90% t7 roll

both are needed

[flint ridge]

yeah both

thank you

I hated searching through pages to find like 13% health roll

💀The Imperial Uprising Begins on September 19th 💀

Greetings Travelers!

Today we are announcing the 1.1 Refresh & Cycle Event - The Imperial Uprising

Forum Link: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/announcing-1-1-refresh-cycle-event-the-imperial-uprising

had to remove the at everyone didnot want to accidently ping everyone

dont know why it didnot just copy the url as thats what i clicked on

[flint ridge]

yeah just saw that

looks promising

[hidden trellis]

I was able to track down some info for you! It should be accessible with the virtual cursor for now, and that is the right stick by default.

[frigid trench]

Yeah I tried using it too but I can't put it/drop into the nemesis slot.

[hidden trellis]

You're not able to press the replace button at all? If not, could you please submit an in-game bug report?

[frigid trench]

I already did. The problem is after I press the replace button, I could not put the item into the nemesis window, whatever button I push onthe controller. The controller settings is at default and so are the buttons. Thanks for trying to help.

Other than that controller works fine for me and enjoying the game more with it than keyb+mouse.

[golden isle]

ok I want to ask about voidwinter bolt from Bane of Winter spear, when I checking the scaling tag in game why cold isn't belong to the scaling tags? for me it's doesn't making any sense because of all the text on the spear, this just bricked my build when I grind it to level 82 just to realized that

[faint cape]

Its damage is half cold, half void

[golden isle]

ok if you go in game and check the scaling tags there isn't any cold tag at all

[faint cape]

There was last I checked, but doesn't matter too much what the tags arw as long as the damage is right

[golden isle]

the only way to scale it through cold cold damage is actually crit mul per uncapp chill chances

[torn sierra]

it has a cold scaling tag right there

[faint cape]

The crit multi based on chill doesn't really have anything to do with cold damage. If it got bugged out at some point to display differently than the tags in the above screenshot, it's a bug and definitely should be reported

[golden isle]

Then wtf is this

[quartz blaze]

^if you wanna see an example of jank

bug since 0.8 and ehg still hasnt fixed it, 3 years later

[golden isle]

Did u see my pic?

[quartz blaze]

it shouldnt have a dot tag either. you have some sort of UI bug

it does have cold scaling. not sure why your client is displaying a wrong tooltip

[golden isle]

So 3 days of grinding wasted

Nice one EHG

[torn sierra]

your item should still behave like normal, only your tooltip is wrong

[golden isle]

The damage is bad

[quartz blaze]

collapse scaling cold damage with void damage is the only type bug that exists afaik. and its hilarious to me thats still there after 3 years. shows how neglected sorc was for the longest time and how underused black hole is

[faint cape]

Probably just a visual bug. If not, then they'll probably fix it quick if it's reported

[quartz blaze]

cap

"quick"

[golden isle]

EHG and quick doesn't go in the same sentence my man

[quartz blaze]

I probably have 75 bug reports about skills or items in 0.9 that arent fixed yet

quick lmao

[faint cape]

They fix things like that all the time, but again reeeally doubt it's anything other than visual

[quartz blaze]

for voidwinter yes thats visual

ive used it, scales cold fine

but the tooltip shouldnt be telling you fake info so thats still a bug to report

[golden isle]

Can u send me ur build planer so that I can follow that if possible

[quartz blaze]

I dont use a planner for that build

I dont think its a very good item to be honest

[golden isle]

Well I try to use it with mourning frost

[faint cape]

It's pretty good really

[golden isle]

On paper it should be really strong

But that tag scaling mess me up

[quartz blaze]

on paper the base dmg is fine. the chill chance and time rot chance scaling 10% to 1% ratio is hilarious

the melee -> spell conversion is the only part of the item thats kind of good

[faint cape]

Tags don't really do much functionally, so don't worry about it. Especially with mourningfrost.

[quartz blaze]

disagree, matters a lot for adding +skill lvls

and some skills interact with tags

but damage scaling, sure you are right

[faint cape]

Neither of those matter for subskills or skills on items

[golden isle]

That's why I don't understand this game I followed the scaling tags buy the damage output is so bad

But

Some builds I feel like they don't make any sense but the damage is just ridiculous

[faint cape]

It takes a good amount of dex to make it pop, what kind of build are you running?

[golden isle]

Primalist cold damage

[faint cape]

Hm I see, primalist may not be ideal for it, but it should be workable

[golden isle]

It should definitely work but the scaling from that voidwinter bolt messed up my build

[quartz blaze]

I actually wonder why shaman passives/tempest strike doesn't have a node for melee dmg -> spell dmg conversion. Only spellblade gets that in FC and reave. Seems like a perfect fit for shaman, both thematically and for builds.

Kind of odd.

[golden isle]

They need to improve shaman like a lot

Because I like trying weird builds and make it work

[quartz blaze]

I agree, but at least there's some builds that are good on shaman now. Wasn't always the case. It's still lightyears behind warlock and falconeer and the rest

[golden isle]

My last build was volatile zombie activated by chaos bolt

[faint cape]

There's a weak version of it in gathering storm 😅

[quartz blaze]

It's funny because the only viable way of having GS do any damage is by playing Druid and using it in werebear rampage. Or storm totem conversion. But directly using it, I haven't seen even one build to date where the damage was even average

I think they could balance that skill better

[faint cape]

Yeah, it's a junk skill on its own, using it through tornado is basically the best way to use it

[quartz blaze]

Shaman's problem is a lot of the shaman skills are just better as Druid or Beastmaster. Shaman literally gets Storm Totem and Avalanche tree, thats it

no other reason to go shaman for anything

and that kind of sucks

[golden isle]

Damn so I'm playing a bad class 🥲

[quartz blaze]

Play avalanche, it slaps

[faint cape]

Not bad, those two skills are really good, but that's most of what it offers

[golden isle]

That shic is boring

[quartz blaze]

agree

but it can clear 1k corruption

🤷‍♂️

[golden isle]

Welp back to the drawing board

Let me check yt to see there is any bane of winter primalist build

[quartz blaze]

Druid and beastmaster probably have greater build variety too. I think the classes are just better designed. Both can be minions, spell dmg, or melee. BM gets a ton of diff pets. druid gets forms. Shaman just, doesnt have anything unique going for it, and 90% of what shaman does, druid and BM just do better

the shaman passive tree remake also put the best passive nodes in the first half, so you just take them as BM or druid

and you don't miss much

[quartz blaze]

you'll probably see that as spellblade mostly

[golden isle]

Yeah

[faint cape]

Yep shatter strike is quite good

[bold cairn]

shaman is for totems

[quartz blaze]

spriggan form does totems better is the issue there

unless you specifically play storm totem

[bold cairn]

im doin avalanche shatter totem hehe

using eq but prob have to drop it

ignore the 4lp

xd

actually no coz its random so those are like the options at the end

have to try the no channel no eq with 5 thorn totems and upheaval star

[storm wren]

🤔 I guess this is a on-paper build

You can't push the corruption if all of your resistance below 75% when you just enter empowered monoliths

[dense jay]

Not sure if there is any conditional resistance there but you can push even when you are not resist capped

[storm wren]

@wide jay do fg can deal with 400+ corruption with that summon skill?

What I'm not happy with fg is I don't know why fg can run by skill combs without any fg's skills then I'll doubt why are they choose this mastery

[storm wren]

Another proof is triple +7 level of skills. Too fake...Single one is enough if your skill combo works well

and all of gears is legendary is too extreme because it means no resistance slots

[grand shoal]

🤐

[plush holly]

who needs resists when they arent getting hit ?

the true chad behaviour

[grim dust]

What's the best class for a pet build?

[misty fox]

New to the game, currently 37, when do I start upgrading items? How do i know a base ilevel is high enough to start dumping shards into it?

[plush holly]

do you want a class that has pet(s), or one that uses pets ?

[plush holly]

you can start anytime, you'll be level capped for upgrades anyway, the point is to have the right affixes on your items first

dont concern yourself with items that have only 1 or 2 affixes that you want, unless they're levels

[misty fox]

Wouldn't it be a waste if I started now and ended up finding something better 5 levels later?

[surreal verge]

You don’t. Items don’t really have a base ilevel, their implicits are always the same

[plush holly]

you'll be salvaging a lot anyway, and have shards by the hundreds eventually

because yes you should be salvaging (shattering) items that have t4 affixes or so

[misty fox]

I see, why do some items have a significantly higher level req to equip?

[plush holly]

because of affixes

[misty fox]

I see

[plush holly]

some tiers require a higher level

[misty fox]

So there really isn't actual item levels?

They're all the same minus the affixes

[plush holly]

and eventually when you come up to exalted it usually requires like lvl 50 or so for a T6

[plush holly]

yep, its all about affixes

and the higher your affix count (total tiers) the higher the level of the item

be careful though sometimes you can upgrade an item and it suddenly becomes 1 level too high for equip, but those are rare cases

[surreal verge]

Some items have a min drop level but that’s about it.

[plush holly]

you'll get a crapton of gear anyway so it's not much of a problem to upgrade

[misty fox]

But said items could possibly have the same implicits as a 1 min level item?

[misty fox]

Gotcha, thanks for the input man

[surreal verge]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/category/daggers/items
And filter by normal and you might understand what I’m trying to say.
Eg. All Poignards will have the same implicits but different affixes which will determine required level to equip.
Higher base doesn’t always mean better.

[novel lotus]

What is the type of Exiled Mage and Nemesis?

[plush holly]

?

do you mean like elements ?
