[faint cape]

Yes, proph things like dungeon tier and corruption are minimums

[barren river]

I would try the class but my game has been loading for 15 minutes my gpu ain't meant for this

It's still loading

Lost connection rip

[onyx ice]

Is the fastest way to get gold doing timelines with gold?

and when i search for items in market with specific affixes like, on catalyst id like to have reduce dmg % but theres no way to search for it

is there only specific items which has reduces dmg?

[coral dagger]

How does refighting harbingers work? Can do you do it at any corruption once you have that one killed/unlocked, or are they forever at the corruption you unlocked them at?

[toxic echo]

Once you get the option to turn harb spawns on/off with the crest, you can do them at any corr for farming.

But for the quest it needs to be a new harb at the appropriate corr lvl

[sly parrot]

so I was doing monoliths and now every time I attack and enemy a get curses, is this a modifier of the monoliths? and it is, How do i get rid of it? I just die in seconds if I try to attack any enemy and I can't progress any futher.

[toxic echo]

Maybe...but i mean you can see your mods in the bottom right so...should be pretty easy to see

[barren river]

Does anyone know why my game won't get past the first loading screen

Like I get to character select and it won't load when I select a character

[sly parrot]

it´s not a modifier, just went to another map and every time I attack i get Dammed, any suggestion on what it could be? I just die in seconds if i try to attack anything

[echo egret]

What do you think of the general gaming community name called Quest Buds Stick Together?

[faint cape]

If you're a warlock, far right passive does that to you. Otherwise, I can't think of much.

[faint cape]

Yeah, if it doesn't show up in the search, it isn't possible. Nothing rolls straight up reduced damage taken, closest stuff is armor and block stuff. (Neither of those is on catalyst)
Best way to get gold is by selling good items you find since you're in the Merchant's Guild.

[faint cape]

Have you tried fiddling with the settings from the main menu? Is it giving you any error report/message?

The game does keep logs of your last 2 sessions, if you can't figure it out, possibly the answer is there. Support may be able to help if they are around this time of year

[faint cape]

Good call, yeah. Check weapon slot, too

[sly parrot]

Thanks, going to check.

[barren river]

I've deleted the files from my pc verified them made 3 new characters installed it on different storages tried different graphics settings

I looked through 1 of the forums for bugs in the discord amd I didn't see any that had been fixed

[barren river]

All it says is lost connection after around 30 minutes

[faint cape]

Hmmm very odd, have you tried launching LE in full offline mode?

[surreal verge]

It's only specific items, there's no generic "reduced damage" affix.

[long coral]

So now i got more hang of the game and such but i have a custom build no filter matches for.
Just asking if thats setup correctly:

Hide all Items
Show all Items with Affixes i want be seen
Show all Idols i want be seen
Apply recolors if needed

[surreal verge]

Top rules override bottom rules, so flip the order. Hide all on bottom.

Im trying to get past Eye of the storm boss but im too weak. Idk which items i need to change to make it, could someone help?

This is my gear: https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/planner/np2f70n2

[surreal verge]

More physical res and more health.

[onyx ice]

Okey thank you

[desert tree]

Good lord, you need at least to double your hp

Quicksilver ring, Viper tail belt and Last Bear gloves need to go

[onyx ice]

yeah i agree, im new to the game and having a hard time finding gear that i can use

[desert tree]

Honestly, anything with % Hp or + Hp would be better

[onyx ice]

I did it, thank you. Just needed physical res basically and it was easy

[silent trench]

helloooo, I was wondering if the rewards' better if I fill this up to the brim

[storm blaze]

nah doesn't matter

[silent trench]

ahh I see, thank you

[toxic echo]

the only thing that bar is used for, is locking the boss and the quests for the timeline.

[silent trench]

gotcha thanks

[surreal verge]

❓

[onyx ice]

Can i gett exp boosted somehow? Like by joining someone else or smt?

[open marten]

Only if you play with others in party will yeald in more exp.

[surreal verge]

You’ll have to stay alive and you only get xp at best as if mobs are 10 levels above you.
Eg: lv 20 char murders a lv 50 mob, gains xp as if the mob is lv 30

[onyx ice]

Ah okey so not very good. I'll keep grinding arena then

[surreal verge]

That's also a terrible way to get xp....

Monoliths are the best way

[uncut scarab]

does chill need cold damage to happen? or can anything proc chill?
for example, i am putting points into a node which gives "Minion chill chance +%".

1. Does something need a base chance to chill for this node to do anything?
2. if not, Does it have to be cold damage to trigger chill?

[surreal verge]

If it's "Chance to chill on hit", no.
All Chance to X on hit does not need a specific damage type, just a hit.

1. no.
2. no.

[uncut scarab]

okay, thanks!

[echo pike]

What is a good build to start with that doesn't require trading?

[fleet river]

Do skills that cast other skills use their skill tree?
For example when Multistrike casts Forge Strike will it use that tree if I have it upgraded?

Ideally spell or ranged based

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone is available to help me kill T4 Julra

[coral dagger]

Is there any difference between when a prophecy says "exalted body armor" and "exalted armor"

with the same icon

[candid elm]

armor is a category that includes: helmet, body armor, gloves, belt, and boots. body armor is just the body armor

[coral dagger]

gotcha

[faint cape]

Not all skills have a range, but some area effects have a radius listed

[astral wadi]

I'm confused. I reached the ||Immortal Emperor|| (the uncorrupted one), and then Yulia said to use the Lance...what lance?! Was I supposed to have gotten some kind of lance? And then suddenly i'm in the divine era again somehow...

[surreal verge]

|| This is your "first loop", Yulia thought it was the "second loop", so now you're going back to find the lance. ||

[astral wadi]

oh i see

time travel shenanigans!

[surreal verge]

It's the core of the story tbf.

[naive pike]

But for ones that do have one?

[naive pike]

She thinks you have something you don't.

There's a whole trend of characters you've never met before knowing you already.

[magic pendant]

there is no way to unlock mastery skill other than having said class, right ? so lets say you want to try another sub class you have to make new char.

[surreal verge]

Yes

[magic pendant]

shame, for just one skill and some passive you have to start from 0.

thanks for info.

[naive pike]

Hm?

[naive pike]

You can use half of the trees from other masteries.

[magic pendant]

i know

[spark jungle]

Can someone recommend me a build for now I'm planning on returning to the game I'm usually single player because no one in my friendgroups interested in playing this. Due to recent circumstances I have found myself returning to this game but I feel as if I shouldn't use the characters I had when I originally started the game

[naive pike]

Others might give you more conclusive answers but I am of the strong opinion that this game lets you just have fun with whatever you want to play as, and I strongly encourage you to play what jives best with you.

At the very least, have some idea first of what type of character you want to play, and then people can help you refine your build with that in mind.

[magic pendant]

there are sites for this so you can pick among most rated etc.

there are many builds so it is not easy to recommend just one

[spark jungle]

well I have always loved the idea of working with an animal of somekind so i suppose the falconeer builds would be a good idea but i'm also unsure due to the fact that maxrolls loot filter was never really explained to me it was just something i copypastad and hoped it worked well

[magic pendant]

you should never start a char with by following some random build.

discover the char yourself first and find a build for something you love/enjoy.

maxrolls is all about pre builds

you do not even know if you are going to love said build or not

[spark jungle]

here the thing this is coming from my past experience as a blastrain rogue so i know i love ranged fighters and the rogue but the worry i have is that when i am trying to flesh out end game builds i might not do well in regards of making a build for myself

[magic pendant]

you can flesh out end game build when you find something for yourself first

early builds are same as end game builds if you are building around something you love, you just get better items for that.

[spark jungle]

well i'll log back in and see what i have on my account

[naive pike]

All my builds have been crafted around the idea of "what if I never get the key unique?".

There's a lot of options even under that restriction.

[faint cape]

Here's an example of one that does have a listed radius; it's in the section with the base damage and tick interval

[buoyant condor]

when you played for a while you will have more keys than you know what to do with them

[long coral]

So with my offline character, when i press "Enter Game" nothing is happening and also Steam Cloud Sync is failing, any ideas?

[cedar locust]

Is this still happening?

[storm wren]

Oh wowwwwww

Well done, EHG!

https://store.steampowered.com/sale/BestOf2024

I hope I can see le on the gold one instead of silver one in 2025

......I'm confused about why double cursors I can have... I plugged ps4 controller before launched le, the game detected the controller but it's not respond to any actions I done by controller. Restart the game don't work on fixing it... The only way is remove my controller to play the game but... Why it's working normally last time I launched le???...

(alright the scrrenshot can't capture double cursors)

Oh i guess it's respond speed issue. It works now

[dire herald]

this node does apply to throwing attacks right? Since it only mentions attacks and doesnt specify melee/throwing

[surreal verge]

Looks like it, since it's not specified.

[hexed wasp]

yes it does but on an off chance I'm wrong there is a way to test it out. in the divine era there is a place called champions gate. at champions gate there are dummies you can test your damage on and a re-spec NPC. you could go there use your skill without the points in "temporal corruption" then attack again with the points allocated. make sure this is the only difference when testing the damage. also even though it is not 100% accurate you can look at the tooltip damage of the skill with and without the points allocated.

[storm wren]

Just checked which types of prophecies I can do after blocked all prophecies relevant to corruption, I don't agree that because still many prophecies you can do...

You can go to kill arena champions, you can go to kill boss/rare enemies in dungeons, you can go to kill bosses in normal timelines, you can go to kill bosses without limit, you can go to kill special enemies like siege golems/watching eyes/void horror, you can go back to campaign to kill majiasa, and you can go to find exile mages in monoliths.

But the shortage of a system included lots of prophecy types is rng will influence a lot. Maybe you can't find a satisfiying prophecy even you rerolled 10+ times.

The amount of prophecies on the page is very less, plus it's randomly too

I always bothered by I can't find enough prophecies(3+) with the same event under the same condition to complete all of them once time. That's the most efficient way.

[dire herald]

ooh right, I will test it sometime then thanks

#news - April 2025

[desert tree]

Should yes

[plucky vessel]

Does this game work well on the steam deck?

[frozen verge]

Hi just started this game, currently trying to play on a Switch Pro controller

Has anyone had this issue where the button prompts are missing? Seems to be LR/ZR/ZL and RStick inputs

[surreal verge]

Most likely because they don't have support for those icons. Afaik the only proper support is for xbox-like controllers.

[desert tree]

From what I have read from people, decently good. Full steam deck support is on the way anyway

[pliant kite]

I was wanting to do prophecies related to the monoloth, which was the content I was running; but I had completed two normal bosses; and was just starting my run, and it was already only offering Monoloth runs with 100+ corruption even though I was still at least a few hours from getting to 100+ corrption because I had so many more to do to even unlock that.
Basically the CoF Prophecy system is offering rewards for things you can not possibly complete because you haven't unlocked that part of the game, and if you are running in the Monoloth, for me it was most of them. By the time I was close to unlocking 100 it wasn't offering 100 any more, it was 160+ and as high as 280.
The game is keeping the target out of reach, which is another "We hope you feel bad" in the game.

When I first heard about CoF I thought it was going to be amazing, and the Rank rewards are nice; but the Prophecy system is feels broken that is feels better in game to ignore it. Too much trying to find something relevant, then it wont offer something you need, or it wont be content you can do, or it will be too expensive, or... It's another case of the "negative" feedback loop where if you give someone bad experience after bad experience, just making them feel normal with a small thing that shouldn't be a win makes them feel amazing.
The favour you earn in game should go toward something, but most of the time you spend it on something you don't care about or re-rolls trying to hope you get something that when it does happen probably won't drop anything good anyway. It's a quadruple barreled rng that is just negative feedback after negative feedback.

[fleet gull]

Does cast speed increase dmg for casting spells like desintegrate?

[surreal verge]

No, cast speed doesn't affect channeling speed

[cedar locust]

Please submit an in game bug report for this and I'll check with my Switch Pro controller too 🤔

[stark ravine]

I'm sure you've already come across it, but in case you haven't - don't forget about lenses for the prophecy system! There's five of them that are "100% reduced chance for [category] to appear" that let you completely block arenas, dungeons, campaign, high corruption, or monolith prophecies from appearing based on your preferences

I think the "high corruption" one prevents anything over ~100 or so corruption from appearing but I'm not sure on the actual numerical cutoff

[mystic karma]

As a new player who just reached endgame and plays offline, I had a few questions:

• If I start a monolith and stack some modifiers, do those modifiers get lost if I exit the game? e.g. if I had a modifier that is supposed to last for 2 echoes, but I exit the game after the first echo, does that modifier still stick around?
• How do I bring up the quest list on the map? It says ⬆️ but that (up arrow) doesn't do anything...
• How exactly does alt levelling work, and what transfers between chars? I am only playing legacy, not cycles. Do I need to do the campaign and sidequests (which felt like an abrupt ending, but 🤷‍♂️ ) to unlock my idol slots again? And does that change if I start cycles?
• Related to the above, I understand dungeons are locked behind keys (which I have keys for all 3). But what does it mean by 'alternate levelling path'? Is that a campaign skip?

[stark ravine]

• Monolith modifiers will persist between sessions, you can leave and come back whenever you want.
• Shift toggles the quest list when on the map by default
• For characters in the same mode the stash and faction rep is shared, you have to re-earn the bonus passive points and idol slots on each character. Blessings from monoliths other characters have found are unlocked at the minimum roll once the new character completes the specific monolith the first time.
• It's a campaign skip, yeah. One of the more popular ones is "do the main story and side quests that reward passives/idols until you do the tree boss in heoborea, then use temporal sanctum to skip to the end of the campaign when you feel like it" (you'll have all the passive points/idol slots at that stage, and the final campaign boss rewards a permanent +1 to all stats so it's worth doing eventually)

[naive pike]

Majasa also gives a skill point so you only need 14 others.

[storm wren]

Yeah le lack of a game system is give something when negative amounts reach the limit.

The slam have the same issue, unlucky people just keep unlucky, cof's prophecies or eternal cache don't help that...
For example, I still don't get a suitable Drelkor's Compass...

2lp is insanely hard to get + 50% chance to fail...
I'm stick on the weapon all the time 😔

+1 all attributes permanently not a big deal to be honest...
Only 1.

The thing is different if +2

[pliant kite]

The LP slam is something I haven't bothered with because I feel the potential for failure is higher than success.
I remember watching streamers during the twitch drops stuff, and one said he did something like 10-12 in a row and all but one of them gave the worst stat. I figured with those odds, just don't engage and assume the system is broken.

Thanks for reminding me that this game has so many mid-end game "Punish the player for trying" rather than "reward the player for playing" systems in it.
One of the biggest being "die once in an echo, and you need to run it again with no reward. "You dropped your coffee, so you need to buy another coffee, but we aren't going to give you the second coffee because you dropped the first one."
That's just overly punitive, not a "failure penalty"

[surreal verge]

It's miles better than "You're not going that way anymore because you died in it and with an xp penalty" (Looking at you PoE2)

At worse, you lost time.

(And to defend LP just ever so slightly, you know your exact odds, RNG is just an asshole)

[storm wren]

And... Enemies are respawned so you must kill them again

Le don't have exp penalty at least...
I can enter the map again without changing anything in poe is nice, but GGG don't inherit that because they want the game have more punishments 🤷‍♀️

I don't mention maps are too big yet... Need to plus this point.
Rng acts too bad on slamming + prophecies are too randomly + lack of another gameplay in monolithes except farming enemies in le.
So huge space for end game experience improvement for both of poe 2 and le.

[sonic saddle]

i mean... a unique with a bonus stat is better than a unique without it

and ultimately until you're really approaching really high gearing it's not a big deal

[pliant kite]

For most players this is true, not all though.
In many ARPGs you can play the luck game to try to get items for your build by just committing time. In LE you can't because a lot of gear for builds is locked behind minimum corruption; so if you are slightly disabled, then the game doesn't give you the chance to "outgear" content like quite a few ARPGs do.
It's sold as a "more complex but generally friendly ARPG", but it's really only for the moderately to seriously dedicated players. Too many systems designed to make players feel bad, or tell them to go away for not having knowledge or experience already.
It's fine, it's what it is, but it's selling itself as what it isn't.
I love the first 25 hours with every character, then when you get to the end of normal monoliths, the game plummets from a 9/10 to a 2.5/10 real fast, and adding more systems won't help that; because the problems are systemic.
I care so much because I love the first 25 hours so much I want it to continue, it just... doesn't.

[sonic saddle]

because a lot of gear for builds is locked behind minimum corruption
the only gear locked behind corruption is from orobyss, aberroth and potentially harbs if you don't plan for it

which sounds like a lot but most of that stuff... isn't that good? it's mostly "interesting" gear that's frankly trying to be too "interesting" for its own viability

then the game doesn't give you the chance to "outgear" content like quite a few ARPGs do.
this isn't true at all, getting good exalts is a significant part of gearing up for corruption and you can totally do that even in level 90 regular monos

if you are explicitly jumping into the game with a build that requires high levels of gearing to be functional then that's not the games fault. Other ARPG's have that too

99% of this games content is survivability restricted, and you can totally build high enough survivability with just exalts

you don't need a nihilis or w/e to do that

i'm gonna say i do agree that slamming is gonna be a feelsbad mechanic

because it wasn't designed for the state of gearing we have now

LP was introduced well before release and item factions, mainly as a neat "bonus" thing

even 2lp stuff required significant farming

and it's fair to say the devs did not take into account the inevitability of power creep via loot acquisition when designing it

but if your build MANDATES something that is harder to farm and you can't dedicate the time to that... then that's not really the game's fault

[surreal verge]

A build that requires LP to function is a terrible build.

The only truly useful unique that is locked behind corruption is…. Maw afaik (and in theory is even farmable in normal monoliths), everything else is a “win more” or are just weird things to build around

[sonic saddle]

even if they did change LP to let you pick, they'd make it rarer as a result

i'm totally fine with that tho

and honestly that is a good idea because now we have nemesis to provide random affixes

on non-LP stuff

[coral dagger]

Man I hate the enemies that sit off screen and spam aoes

lighting elementals, osprix lightmages, etc

[sonic saddle]

very understandable

especially as they tend to really hurt

[coral dagger]

Yep, light mages doing 2.5k or so with their hits at like 175 corruption

turns any stun or body block into a very solid chance of death

[naive pike]

Overly punitive? How does it punish you?

Oh wait it's two different things.

I thought it was about the LP thing.

[naive pike]

This is... So completely different from my own lived experience....

Incidentally the easiest way to fix the death penalty in echoes is to not die in echoes.

It's like, if out of 50 echoes you die once and lose that one echo's final reward (and ONLY the final reward), what are we even talking about?

If you're dying every other echo, well, that's on you.

Like, you don't even have to re-do the same echo if you don't want to.

[storm wren]

Ring=戒指
What I want to show is I can't read this is 戒指 mostly. As the contrast, there's another 戒指 in orange

[naive pike]

Can't say I can read that.

[storm wren]

No worries, I just use this channel to post screenshots

[signal crag]

there's a void enemy that shoots a huge void spike at you from off screen, honestly it's bullshit

a lot of offscreen attacks from enemies are BS

not being even aware of an attack coming in, let alone having the ability to defend against it, is not good for an action game

games like Bayonetta have a visual indication and sound cue for incoming off screen attacks. LE has that for AOE attacks but nothing else

[faint cape]

Yeah... and I'd put T3/4 dungeon uniques up there as hard for new people to get, too.
All this said, anyone can pick MG and then all the corruption and difficulty locking is completely out the window since you can just buy them.

[alpine pendant]

when you pick upgrades to skills that add cooldown do multiple ones add together or use highest? Does it differ between skills

[faint cape]

It depends on the skill and how it's worded. Usually when it's a non-cooldown skill with multiple nodes that give it a cooldown, it just gets the highest one.

[surreal verge]

If it increases the cooldown they stack. If it gives a new cooldown it doesn’t, it takes the longest one

[round portal]

hi guys, Is equiping one-hand weapon and shield considered dual wielding

[surreal verge]

No

Duel wielding means two one-handed weapons

[round portal]

Does physical penetration increase bleed damage like physical penetration with bleed does

[surreal verge]

Yes

[vagrant estuary]

Any steam deck players here? Has this game improved over the last months? Still crashes a lot?

[naive pike]

The rule is, things that are less specific apply to more things.

You never need a more specific buff just to benefit a specific thing. Specific buffs merely mean they benefit ONLY that specific thing.

[surreal verge]

Specific buffs normally mean the numbers are bigger than non-specific ones.

[naive pike]

That too

[frosty beacon]

LE takes soooooo long to start, over 5 minutes on a brand new computer. surely there has to be a fix

[toxic echo]

nah, its an LE thing mostly

[desert tree]

Ssd?

[frosty beacon]

yeah, wd_black. the game started pretty quick at first until i got to lvl 80 or so. now that you mention it, i did uninstall the game and add the second ssd and reinstalled it on the the new bigger ssd (d:/) but im not sure that is the issue cause 1 time out of 20 or so it will startup quickly

[coral dagger]

Does anything gear wise affect glyph of envy use?

like number of affixes, strength of affixes, etc?

[desert tree]

Nope

Only if the timeline is Empowered or not

Non Empowered > Full Stability
Empowered > between 150 and 200 (random)

[coral dagger]

ok thats what I figured but just wanted to make sure

[mystic karma]

Do you lose your rank and points if you swap factions MG and COF?

[surreal verge]

The ranks stay with the old faction, but you lose all favor.

[mystic karma]

If I use Rune of Ascendance on an item, is it possible for that item to get Legendary Potential or even Weaver's Will (assuming it comes out as a unique)?

[storm wren]

yeah

[naive pike]

It does take a bit but I don't recall it taking five whole minutes.

[final kettle]

Hey everyone! Quick question, does this game has any activities/mechanics added during seasons that can be focused on to farm gear in the end game? Like in Path Of Exile. Or is it just the monos?

[toxic echo]

really hasnt been out long enough to have lots of mechanics. its mostly just mono farming. circle of fortune faction gives you more farm, but its still mostly monoliths.

depending on what you are looking for, you might have better target farming in dungeons.

[final kettle]

Good to know thanks a lot. I’m just curious because I reinstalled today. Bought the game back when it was available for the first time, no idea when that was. But didn’t play much back then.

[surreal verge]

Yes, but lower LP rates. Ascendance always gives you a unique.

[mossy phoenix]

Bedt class / sub class for end game everything ?

[abstract hill]

is diablo4 better than LE?

[faint cape]

It also can give set items, if any exist for the item type

[midnight basin]

Been awhile since i've played, when is the next league launching, or did one launch recently?

[toxic echo]

next is in april

last launch was july 9th. there was a reset on sept 19th

[midnight basin]

dang an 8 month cycle is rough but still plenty of time to enjoy it

[toxic echo]

yeah. they went over the reasons in the #news post

but it do be long

[midnight basin]

ill give it a read, ive been a supporter for years now so theyve got my trust in their reasoning

[devout pivot]

Do you think they’ll do another reset soon before April to keep it at the 2-3 month cycle pace? (Obviously not with new content)

[surreal verge]

They have said they won’t.

[rigid blade]

My regions can't load, what should I do? can someone tell me?

[astral wadi]

wait is the story incomplete? or is there more story after this monolith of fate thing?

[storm blaze]

Story is currently incomplete

[astral wadi]

boooo

[storm blaze]

Yeah, it'd be nice if it was complete

[astral wadi]

why does majasa need to consume people? none of the other gods seem to need to

[storm blaze]

Don't think it's explained

[mystic karma]

Crafting materials - Is there a limit on how many you can have overall, or per rune, glyph and affix shard?

[storm blaze]

Don't think there is
and if there is the limit is so high that it's kind of irrelevant

[astral wadi]

was apophis the oracle you saw earlier (later)? all snake people look alike to me....

[radiant latch]

Hello. Does melee to move works with Harvest for Acolyte?

[storm blaze]

yes

[surreal verge]

No cap.

[surreal verge]

It should.

[radiant latch]

Thanks for info

[long coral]

it did until i switched to full offline launch option, i suppose it was conflicting something steam cloud related, sry for the later response but i got tilt and had to turn to families 😄
it does work normally now though (not full offline) so no idea what was going on ^^

[radiant latch]

Why does game always start up on wrong monitor. It is always secondary, changing option in graphic don't change anything for me. Is there any fix to this?

[patent nymph]

Can i go to CoF with offline character? Im finding online buggy as hell. Enemies run or are stuck after death and my spells do not activate sometimes...

And spells like rupture are casted above the ground... Wth

[novel lotus]

I'm using a VPN, and every time I load a new map, I get disconnected and sent back to the character selection screen. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[desert tree]

Yes

[patent nymph]

Thanks.

[novel lotus]

I switched to Asian SE, and now I can play again🤦‍♀️

[crystal jackal]

does anyone know where Maxroll found the information on how to parse the char saved file from offline mode?

[storm wren]

EHG have shared the API to maxroll and lastepochtool

oh wait offline... read it too fast

[storm wren]

C:\Users\admin\AppData\LocalLow\Eleventh Hour Games\Last Epoch\Saves

[candid elm]

the <admin> part of that will be your username. AppData folder is hidden by default.

[faint cape]

Either trial and error with the game files themselves or reverse engineered from the game, or a mix of both. Or just got that info from someone else who already knew.

[candid elm]

To see the AppData folder: Windows button -> type file explorer options press Enter -> View tab -> push the radio button for "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" -> Press Ok.

[faint cape]

The files are in a human readable format

[candid elm]

You can open the save files with a text editor and look at them, if you want to check them out.

[faint cape]

I always just say to paste in %appdata%/../LocalLow/

[candid elm]

thanks, i couldn't remember the command. there's a %localappdata% but not a %locallowappdata% doing the .. to go up one level is a good idea.

[faint cape]

Hah, didn't know about that other one, neat! 😁

[candid elm]

so you can just paste %AppData%\..\LocalLow\Eleventh Hour Games\Last Epoch\Saves into File Explorer to go directly there without worrying about the AppData folder being hidden by default

[frosty beacon]

DOT ?: if i cast a skill like Frost Wall that starts doing damage over time, then i start casting skills that affect global damage modifiers (ex. glacier rine and them mana strike), will Frost Wall dot get those bonuses as they happen for the remainder of the duration or would i have to cast Frost Wall last with this example?

[faint cape]

Frost wall's stats do not change after it has been created except by things that specifically do so (like the node in its spec that causes its direct damage to increase each tick)

[frosty beacon]

so I would have to cast Glacier Rine and Mana Strike before I cast Frost Wall then, thanks for clarification

[modest vortex]

i have issue with nemesis not spawning for me
i play coop with my friend, there were at least 4 nemesis that spawned for him but not for me i couldnt even see them
we have the same level if that matters, whats happening?

[faint cape]

Not sure what's going on. You should both be able to see your own nemesis and then individually start your own nemesis encounters. Anything else sounds like a bug, please report it using the in game bug report tool. Also try swapping party leader and see if that changes things.

There are some very specific scenarios that cause nemesis to not spawn for you, but that shouldn't ever happen if you're normally playing along the campaign

[modest vortex]

yes, we play the campaign. at some point, it just stopped spawning for me—since the majelka slums level. when this started happening, my friend also noticed that he saw me as offline instead of online.

we re-added each other to the friend list and made him the party leader, which fixed the online issue, but so far, nothing else has changed. i’ve already missed 4 nemesis spawns.

[faint cape]

Have you gone to any higher level areas on your own? That can prevent nemesis from spawning in campaign for you

[modest vortex]

my friend and i entered a dungeon with a level requirement of 70+.
he died quickly, and i kept playing until i reached level 62 (he was level 61) and then died

we thought this might be the issue, so he played solo to level up and align our levels, but that didn’t help.
how could this cause a problem if we were both in the dungeon?

the same thing happened to him once, but at level 40 and the dungeon was level 60
i died quickly and he played a bit longer but that was not issue for nemesis spawners

[crystal jackal]

@storm wren @candid elm yeah, I know the folder, you can import your offline char to the maxroll planner, that's how I know they have parsed it.
but the content of the file, while readable, is not understandable.

and since you can import the char to maxroll, they must know how to parse it.
and I was wondering if the knowledge how yo parse it was made availbale to everyone by EHG

[faint cape]

It might have generated a nemesis for you, not sure if you have to interact with it or not for it to count. But even if not, the thing that would have mattered would be whether it was a 'fresh' nemesis; when your nemesis was generated in a level 15+ higher than the campaign zone you're in, it will not appear

That doesn't apply to anything outside of the campaign, so you could run the first monolith a little bit, which you should be able to handle fairly easily at your level, and either complete or delete your nemesis and then you should be able to get them in campaign again

[storm wren]

#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs Maybe you need to use this channel

[faint cape]

EHG will not answer how to edit your save file, it's against ToS really

[twin oak]

nope, please don't recommend that

[candid elm]

it is understandable? Example from one of my offline saves:
EPOCH{"partitionKey":null,
"characterName":"<name here>",
"level":84,
"slot":1,
"currentExp":396284,
"hardcore":false,
"died":true,
"deaths":3,

It's all in English.

I don't know if they asked EHG for documentation or figured it out for themselves. There were character editors back in the Beta when the game was only offline, so people probably just figured it out. Also the site Last Epoch Tools had a character importer thing for a long time as well, but they may have gotten info from EHG.

[crystal jackal]

haven't they said offline is free to mod?

[storm wren]

oh...Ok I see what are he asking finally

[candid elm]

you can do whatever you want offline but they're not going to offer support on it

[faint cape]

They have said that they will not help nor hinder

[candid elm]

the only "mod" i'm aware of that they've OKed is yolomouse https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1230525636263546940

[surreal verge]

They won't teach you how. It's a "Learn yourself and do at your own risk" thing. They also won't ban you over it, for what it's worth. It's also not recommended to be discussed here if I recall correctly.

[twin oak]

btw I haven't checked in like 8 months,
is there any way to export a planner into an offline save?

[faint cape]

Not on LE Tools, that starts to get into the territory of just being a save file editor

[mystic karma]

Can experimental gear drop with T6/7 affixes?

[desert tree]

Yes

[crystal jackal]

Has EHG Said “no no” to save file editors?

[faint cape]

It's in the same boat as modding, they won't support it, but also have no way to enforce any rules on it even if they wanted to

[naive pike]

There's even T6/7 for experimental affixes.

[acoustic thicket]

is it possible to make a build focusing two ailments such as poison and bleed?

[toxic echo]

Yeah, but its likely not going to be good.

Only one that can pull off multiple dot ailments is warlock cuz its built for it

[acoustic thicket]

Oh thats beautiful

ty eagles

[edgy sphinx]

Wouldn't just grabbing a bunch of the DoT stat be okay for a dual dot build?

[sonic saddle]

no

DoT is heavily dependant on more damage multis from skills and support from passives to be effective

which is generally damage-type specific

[edgy sphinx]

booooooo lame

[sonic saddle]

just increased damage scaling is not enough to make anything work in this game

you need skill and passive support for other non-additive scaling sources

[edgy sphinx]

That's lame

[sonic saddle]

for that not to be the case you'd either have class choice be basically meaningless or have no hard content in the game whatsoever

or DoT in general would be very overpowered

[faint cape]

There are some cases where you can get away with generic scaling, it's super skill and build dependent. Warlock and sorc both have a setup for it.

[midnight basin]

Is it intended when you die in HC to lose all your favor?

[acoustic thicket]

A question regarding Rogue:
If I go Falconer I can't focus on poison/ pet damage to make the falcon effective and my dots cause Ill be spreading focus, right?

[candid elm]

In the Falconry skill there's a Rending Talons passive that gives your Falcon your ailment chances. That would let the Falcon uses your own chance to poison. Without that you'd need items that instead say minion chance to poison. As far as being an effective build, I'm not sure. You'd want to look around and see if there's any builds or build guides using that kind of setup.

[surreal verge]

You lose one whole affix set since you can't scale the damage type, so you automatically lose a lot of increases comapred to a focused build.

[storm wren]

lol first time to check out this post and I just know they said this point before already.

I'm confused about why my rank is lv 10 and 1000 favour only while 1.1 just out

[desert tree]

Kinda
Factions are tied to your stash (and so game mode)
When you die in HC the character move to SC and so has access to a different stash and different faction progress

[midnight basin]

I see, I thought faction progress was character bound not account i knew stash would be different

[storm wren]

This is the old stash I used in 1.0, remove items only stash as you mentioned, I can't put items back here after I grabbed them.
(why I can't find that faq post about how to merge my materials and golds from 1.0 to legacy...)

Then I need to switch my stash from 1.0 to legacy, all stash tabs in legacy need to be purchased because it's empty at the beginning, and I delivered all items in 1.0 stash to legacy stash manually after I re-purchased stash tabs in legacy.

My meaning is why EHG suppose players to deliver their loots from 1.0 to legacy manually and they're must rebuy tabs in legacy instead of merging all items and all tabs from 1.0 by one-click.

[desert tree]

Because if you merge the tabs after every seasons, you will end up with over 200 Actives Tabs (not counting remove only tabs that seems to be coded differently)

[storm wren]

hah...Over 200 tabs?!

Oh wait. The problem only appeared when I have cycle characters. If not, these items will be saved in legacy tabs forever.

Yeah I lose a lot interest on playing cycle characters after I knew this thing.

😅 Confused about why EHG figure out "remove-item-only stash" idea

[final kettle]

Noob question, I’m about halfway through the chapter 9. Just noticed I can travel to end of time and do monoliths. Does it mean I can just go straight to end game and finish the chapter later?

There wasn’t a quest or anything letting me know I can do monoliths

[twin oak]

Yes, you can as soon as you get to the end of time

There should be a secondary quest or it begins when you first step into monoliths I don't remember

[final kettle]

Maybe I already did the quest. Is it once per account? I played way back when the game was first available and made it to end game. Just don’t remember much from it haha

[surreal verge]

The quest is supposed to come after defeating the chapter 9 boss.
But it's 'unlocked' as soon as you pick your mastery.
The monolith levels are fixed tho, so most first timers don't do that.

[crystal jackal]

char got duplicated on creation screen, does anyone know if both get deleted if I delete 1 of them?

[gaunt igloo]

has there been no QA dev stream the past two weeks? its fine if their isnt i just need mine quick tease hit for my addiction

[storm wren]

Hah... You can duplicate characters in cycle!?

Le allows the same character name? I remember it's prohibited

[toxic echo]

no...they have been on holiday break

[crystal jackal]

I was trying to make 1, but it created 2.

deleted the lvl 1 now, and the lvl 4 is still there

[scarlet bobcat]

is the game still the same cycle as its been for months?

[desert tree]

Yes next one in April

[full lion]

I tought there would be a new cycle after new year?

I guess April is after new year technincally 😛

[crystal jackal]

is the reduced minion health here multiplicative or subtracted from "increased minion health"?

edit: maxroll assumes it subtracted from inc, but kind of feels almost like no downside if that is the case.

[crystal jackal]

this is what we were all assuming (community) when they delayed it last time.

[full lion]

ah well 🙂 well this gives me time to grind a new toon up. after 300hours poe2 I need a change xD

[faint cape]

Yeah, it's subtracted, and yeah it's a very minor downside

[hallow pond]

Hi everyone. I have the problem that my game crashes all the time. Without any error Code or whatsoever. Does anyone know a solution ?

[storm blaze]

Try verifying game files on steam?

[hallow pond]

did that already

and added -dx11 or -dx12 as starting parameter. no effect

also set the graphics on middle and windows mode.

no tips on the internet helped so far...

will try to reinstall the game

[full lion]

able to install on another drive? just to eliminate hardware issue. but doubt it if the disk works fine in other applications

[hallow pond]

no other drive available. and the pc is not even a month old 🙂

[full lion]

okey

[hallow pond]

i can exclude any hardware issues

[full lion]

maybe stupid idea, but tried running game in admin?

[hallow pond]

not tried yet.

[full lion]

I would check. dunno why but some of my games only launches when launched as admin. just an idea

[hallow pond]

well it works fine till somehow it crashes without any trace 😄

[full lion]

ah so it does launch

my b

[hallow pond]

it jsut crashes without reason and error

just downloaded it again fresh. will try now. last time it worked almost for 2 hours...

[full lion]

Hope it sorts out 🤞

[hallow pond]

as i noticed in the ingame chat i am not the only one with the problem at least

[desert tree]

Reduced goes against Increased so its subtrated to your Total Inc Minion Hp

[sly fable]

Reduced = additive, less = multiplicative.

I think this just comes from PoE. Increased/Reduced is additive, More/Less is multiplicative

[trail cape]

Hope everyone is well.

I've just recently started playing LE and really have been enjoying this. As of today, I've started experiencing a black screen hard crash, or all of a sudden my GPU fans will go berserk.

I've seen on forums that others have had this issue since the beginning of the year. Any one else still having this problem? Any fix or solutions?

I'd hate to put this game down because of this, it's unplayable.

[storm blaze]

Did you update your gpu driver a while ago? Could be the reason

[crystal jackal]

24% inc health on the player is way more valuable than 24% on a minion, that's why I was unsure.

[hallow pond]

i read about something like that. it did not help me with my crash but you might need to turn down the graphics details. As the game seems to be horribly programmed.

[trail cape]

Thanks for the reply;
Yeah I read that as well, that the game is horribly optimised. In terms of turning it down, I'm kind of at a loss in choosing which option.

[hallow pond]

im playing on average details on a pc that can support ultra... but it does not really help so far

[trail cape]

I am hoping for a Patch fix. Also heard that this is a unity engine issue as it's not optimised in using GPU very well.

[hallow pond]

we are not alone with that crash problem i can tell you 🙂

[trail cape]

Same!!!

So did the lower settings help you with the crash?

[hallow pond]

no not really

just reinstalled the game and am currently waiting for the next crash...

[trail cape]

How much time has passed since you reinstalled and started playing?

[hallow pond]

about 15 minutes

the last crash came up after randomly 2 hours i guess

not really calculatable

[trail cape]

Hmm...

If it ends up working for you. I will have to give it a try as well.

Sad, really.

The game is so enjoyable.

Has there been any word from the devs?

[hallow pond]

not that i knew. i wrote a ticket. but who knows where that leads

[trail cape]

Keeping those fingers crossed.

Do let us know how your current run goes yeah.

[hallow pond]

will do 👍

[trail cape]

Are you currently playing it on low/med settings?

[hallow pond]

yes i am

and windows mode. anywhere it said that would maybe help...

[trail cape]

What res?

[hallow pond]

2560x1440

and frames locked at 60fps

aaand it crashed...

this is so annoying

again clearing all the maps and stuff 😡

wow crashed again...

you know what... f... this shit

at least the game only wasted 30 Euros

[candid elm]

In addition to the bug report button in game, there's a #1210281997591908452 and https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports/23.

[hallow pond]

i do not even get an error report. what should i post ?

[storm blaze]

Description of what happened I suppose
And what all you've tried

[hallow pond]

well ok. did that. maybe something comes up....

would be a shame as the game itself is quite ok

[toxic echo]

if you load the game after a crash, submit a bug report. it will pull previous game data and send it to the devs. or you can pull it yourself and attach it to the forum bug post (the ingame option is way easier and the preferred method)

[hallow pond]

did that already from ingame

[candid elm]

Yeah, if you want to pull the logs yourself info here https://support.lastepoch.com/hc/en-us/articles/1260805192629-The-Game-s-Log-File

[hallow pond]

should i uplad the log files in discord ?

ah that works.

now we wait... any experience on answering time ?

[candid elm]

In game bug reports and posted bug reports get reviewed and maybe a fix is added in a future update

[toxic echo]

you arent really ever going to get a response for bug reports.

a support ticket, maybe a week...but its also in the middle of the holidays, they arent even back to work until friday, and then its 2 weeks of catch up

[hallow pond]

ah well, ok then

but in the log you can read about crash after all

A crash has been intercepted by the crash handler. For call stack and other details, see the latest crash report generated in:

• C:/Users/michg/AppData/Local/Temp/Eleventh Hour Games/Last Epoch/Crashes

no such directory though

ah nevermind found it

12 crashes since i got the game just yesterday

[trail cape]

God I was really hoping your game wouldn't crash.

This is just...

How can a game be this badly optimised?
I've seen people complaining about this since Feb 24, so how have the devs not replied?

[hallow pond]

it seems not. at least i did not find any "official" statement or solution to it

[trail cape]

I find this very curious...

I started playing LE two days ago; it's only today I started crashing hard.

[desert tree]

It has been stated multiple times that "Perfomances and Optimisation" is the number 1/2 priority (battling with "Multiplayers Stability"

Since Feb 24 they have released several patches containing performances improvements

[hallow pond]

well not enough it seems 🙂

[trail cape]

Ah I see.

But does anyone got any idea as to what exactly in the game is causing our hardware to OC to profusely.

[toxic echo]

out of random curiosity...you using a 13th or 14th gen intel?

[trail cape]

Er... 12th?

I can't remember...

[hallow pond]

AMD ryzen 7 7700X

[toxic echo]

okies

[trail cape]

Intel i9 11th gen I think, sorry.

Like I've been playing Robocop: Rogue City for ages, as I type this. No problems at all. Not even CP2077 gave me this issue.

[hallow pond]

same here. but different games 😄

all sliders to the right no problems

[trail cape]

Is there some sort of a power or memory leakage with this game or unity compatibility issues or bottleneck issues?

[hallow pond]

ERROR: SymGetSymFromAddr64, GetLastError: 'Es wurde versucht, auf eine unzulässige Adresse zuzugreifen.' (Address: 00007FFF20C4E4DE)

there is something about unityplayer

coming from my error log

[trail cape]

Where did you find this?

[hallow pond]

C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\Eleventh Hour Games\Last Epoch\Crashes

there is a player.log for every crash

[onyx ice]

I wish I could play for long enough to even get there.

[hallow pond]

yay endgame.... 🤣

[trail cape]

I tried to look up my crash log. Its empty 😦

[hallow pond]

well that is weird

i got 12 folders in there 😄

[trail cape]

Probably because my PC got hard locked and I had to restart it.

[hallow pond]

one for every crash

[trail cape]

Having said that, the crash folder is named for yesterday's date when I first had the crash. But probably didn't get to save the file.

[hallow pond]

maybe. going after the timestamps i crashed around every 1-2 hours

record set at 3 hours

[coral dagger]

Is there any particular trick to finding a shade of orobyss asap? I'm 3 corruption short from the last harbinger

[candid elm]

Go in mostly a straight line in one direction. The shade echoes are always at the edges of the echo web. You can get unlucky and pick a direction that's longer, but sooner or later you'll hit the edge and the shade echoes on the edge.

[coral dagger]

Eh, I figured as much

sometimes theres a shade right near the center and its nice

[thorn pebble]

ay yo lemme check it out

[buoyant condor]

that's due to corruption catch up mechanics
Corruption Catch-Up Buffs, from patch notes;

The result of these changes is that if you get one Timeline up to 300 Corruption, and then go to a fresh Empowered Timeline, completing a single Echo will create a Shade Echo next to it, that will boost that Timeline straight to 296 Corruption.

Bonus Corruption based on the difference between the highest Corruption Timeline and the current Timeline is now always 95% of the difference (from scaling based on distance and being capped at 60%)
When the difference between the highest Corruption Timeline and the current Timeline is greater than 40, or you have at least 8 Gaze of Orobyss, and the current Echo Web does not contain a Shade Echo, then completing an Echo will create a Shade Echo next to it.

[coral dagger]

Oh I knew about the 95% thing but not the center shade node, thanks

thats a nice feature

[trail cape]

Will you be refunding the game? Or wait for a patch?

[hallow pond]

cannot refund since above 2 hours play time

at least thats what i think with steam bought

[trail cape]

There is still a way to do so, I'm considering it but don't want to let the game go either.

[hallow pond]

i will let it rest for a while

[trail cape]

Fair enough.

[hallow pond]

maybe the longer i do not play. the longer it takes to the next crash 😄

[trail cape]

😂

We still would need to get to the bottom of the reason as to why it's crashing our systems. I'm worried that this game may damage our PCs.

[thorn pebble]

@onyx ice What's the purpose of going so deep into Healing Hands?

Is it your defensive skill of choice？

With no attunement and very limited healing effectiveness, it's really going to be outperformed by rebuke, if you're looking for a purely defensive skill

[onyx ice]

Yeah thanks

[onyx ice]

Its because i havent reach high enough level for sigil of hope

[thorn pebble]

lemme see if I can find some passive points on your void knight tree for you to take off for now and put back on later, cuz sigil of hope would be a serious upgrade over healing hands

[thorn pebble]

I think it's pretty safe to take 1 point off dread, 5 points off blade master, and 4 points off valiant charge, and invest these 10 points into the pally tree to get sigils of fire. Once you get Sigils up to a higher level (which should be very fast btw), it'll more than make up for the temporary loss of damage from these nodes

[trail cape]

I've got an update.

At the moment, I have put the settings to Medium and my res to just under 4k and set my AMD Adrenaline to GPU undervolt.

I will see if that makes a difference.

[thorn pebble]

Also, a minor thing: you have a bunch of nodes whose primary purpose is to shore up your resistances. When you start tweaking your gear, make sure to respec those points so that your res doesn't drop too low or become too high.

[hallow pond]

yeah i also noticed a drop in gpu voltage when i set my details lower

[trail cape]

Word is that it's due to some kind of conflict between drivers, GPU card and Unity.

Its an assumption no one's been able to verify though.

[hallow pond]

i think i also read that somewhere

hope it helps with your case 😄

[trail cape]

Thank you, will keep you posted.

[thorn pebble]

GL you two

[onyx ice]

Alright, ill give it a try

[onyx ice]

Yeah i ran into problems with that. I want to change body armor but i need one with all res thats cheap ^^

mine is already at 32% allres so gotta maintain it

[sonic saddle]

That's not "you can only refund below this playtime" with steam, that'a just the guaranteed refund period.

If the game is starting to become unplayable for w/e reason you can still apply for a refund and typically steam gives it

[hallow pond]

okay nice to know

[thorn pebble]

Hi cookbook I still love you. Also why did I never see you over at the grim dawn server?

[sonic saddle]

Didn't get into it that seriously

Did one character and kinda had my fill of the game

[thorn pebble]

Are you also the type who defaults to pet classes in every game?

[sonic saddle]

Optimising constellations made my head hurt and there's only so much area farming i can tolerate

Not really? If anything i thought the opposite

I like active playstyles

[thorn pebble]

😭But but but, but I loved staring at GD tools for 90 minutes to try out like 12 permutations of the same constellation idea along with minor gear tweaks

😭 Cookbook sama's image has collapsed in my heart

[sonic saddle]

Lol

I'm just some dude who likes one beastmaster build way too much

[thorn pebble]

😭 That's how I'll remember you

[coral dagger]

How frequently do harbinger eyes drop? I dont want to burn all mine learning the fight

[toxic echo]

the first ten are 100% drops from teh quest

after that, its just rng, but high corr they drop pretty regularly

[coral dagger]

I dont think I can do that much beyond 300 corruption

[toxic echo]

then you prolly arent ready for abby. should be able to do 400 comfortable before really trying, imo

the final quest leg at 300 unlocks him, but, generally not really going to have a good time if you arent doing that comfy.

[coral dagger]

I dont really know how to improve my build beyond fish for better LP/slams/rolls

[toxic echo]

gotta link to the build?

[toxic echo]

oh. using black hole.

lol

[coral dagger]

I've liked it so far. I'm not expecting to push really high in corruption, I just wanted to kill aberroth.

[toxic echo]

yeah, doesnt seem to be much 'wrong' with the build. the only glaring thing is your end % is at 20. but depending on how well you can keep ward up, thats not really an issue

could upgrade the torch...3lp isnt asking too much from that unique. get some hybrid health on the boots and belt maybe. pretty close to the 300 mana for archmage node if you need some dmg

[coral dagger]

yeah getting hybrid hp and something on boots has been my main goal at this point now

[toxic echo]

its definately an off meta build so i dont know too much about it. maybe its really good against abby

[coral dagger]

but for some reason those boots have been very rare for me, like only seen them 3 times despite a lot of CoF unique boot prophs

It's nice for boss fights since it doesnt require huge uptime and lets me keep moving with only black hole every ~4 seconds being "needed"

So especially when I'm not familiar with the fight I can adapt more easily than if I was focusing on rotation or proximity uptime or something

[onyx ice]

Why do i only get weird blessings from timelines, like increased belt drop rate. Is there not better blessings?

[stark ravine]

Generally blessings from timelines on the left side of the screen are droprate/acquisition type blessings (like your belt droprate example), whereas blessings from timelines on the right side of the screen impact character stats in some way (e.g. damage, crit, defenses, etc)

[onyx ice]

ah nice to know. Thanks

[frosty beacon]

prob a stupid question, but does nemesis upgraded gear to higher levels with higher corruption? try to figure out if i should switch my seasonal char to my highest lvl corrup character when trying to upgrade uniques via nemesis

[toxic echo]

the upgrades are not influenced by anything

the only thing that corr influences on nem is the initial item spread

[frosty beacon]

okay cool, thanks, thats more convenient i guess

[mystic karma]

When crafting at the end of temporal sanctum, do you need the items with you in your inventory or can you have them in stash?

[toxic echo]

stash

there is a box next to the mechanic at the end

[stark ravine]

Is the monolith echo objective sometimes getting replaced with "Actually, an ambush!" an intended behavior or is that a bug I should report? To be clear, this will happen some of the time when the objective is "Find the [type] gate" or "Find/defeat the boss" - it'll happen when bonus stability is around 1/2-2/3 full instead of (I presume) marking the location on the map for the original objective. Not that I mind at all, but it happens often enough that I've been curious.

[toxic echo]

intended

[coral dagger]

Man I hate lagon. It wouldnt be too bad if he didnt have the longest and most boring interlude

Why is the harbinger I need gotta be the lagon one

[uncut scarab]

is there value in "reduce bonus damage from crit"? Or should every build be looking for 100% crit avoidance

[storm blaze]

Either one is good

[candid elm]

Get one or the other. Crit Avoidance you want at 100%, for example if you had only 90% then there's a 10% chance you'll take an extra +100% damage from a crit you don't avoid. While Reduced Bonus Damage from Crits works even if it's not 100%, for example if you have 90% then you're just taking +10% extra damage from a crit. Reduced Bonus Damage from Crits also comes with flat +armor, so it can be some extra defense if you're building armor. Crit Avoidance is easier to cap, though, as you can get a Blessing for it.

[uncut scarab]

That makes sense to me. Yeah, im working towards 100% crit avoidance on my current toon. but i see that it could be better to go the other route for another.

Another question. I have an LP 3 classless body armour. Can i use an acolyte exalted body armour to legendary it? Will it become acolyte locked? does it depend on what affix gets transfered?

[candid elm]

yes if an acolyte affix is transferred it will be come an acolyte only armor. for example +acolyte skill

[trail wave]

i made the same mistake, next time i'll do lagon first and save the harbinger from the lance timeline for last

[coral dagger]

I've already killed them onec I just want their unique

but lagon + ornstein harbinger on a shitty little platform is cancer

[trail wave]

fr, i wish the harbinger fight was on the arena below

[upper crow]

So apparently i keep getting disconnected when trying to enter scorched grove from burning forest. Any way i can fix this or do i have to wait it out?

[twin oak]

Try switching to another server region temporarily
Eg EU West

[glossy rock]

hello when will current cycle end?

[trail wave]

april

[lime wyvern]

whats the go to gold making tips and tricks for CoF? hope for a gold shrine?

[trail wave]

murder stuff as fast as you can, zoom across the map

your gold income as CoF is directly proportional to your kill speed

[lime wyvern]

from empowered mono to empowered mono, rinse and repeat, the higher the corruption the better right?

doing it contradicts the reason i m needing gold in the first place, which is to buy tabs to keep all those double exalted and T7's i might need one day even if it just stands there gathering dust

[trail wave]

this is when i start tightening my loot filter so i pick up less of them

also maybe do an early stash clear and throw out the worse half

[lime wyvern]

I dont really like working with a narrowed loot filter... I just keep pressing X to see what i m missing out on... Because what might not be good for this void knight might come usefulll for the forge guard, or maybe the warlock or the primalist and so on

and then when i get a good 2 LP to slam something on it i swear i never have exactly what i need

[trail wave]

a piece of advice for that is to havee your alt builds go for the same stats so even with a narrow lootfilter you'll pick up stuff for them. Or you could also just really get into the finetuning and make sure that you see useful items for certain builds, but only those and nothing else

[lime wyvern]

Thanks i ll try fiddling a bit with the loot filter and see where i end up at

[trail cape]

@hallow pond Update.

Changed settings to Medium.
Vsync is On.
Res is 3600x1800
Fps limited to 60.

GPU is Undervolted to 1125 through Adrenaline.

Been playing for a few hours,

GPU temp has been fine, voltage highest has been 1102.

Game looks fine albeit not obviously the best but has been pretty stable without any issues.

Try these settings, really hope it works for you, brother.

[hallow pond]

thx for your input. ill try vsync and undervolting, too

but why can you combine vsync and fps limit ? it is not possible for me

nevermind. crashed already

now it crashes even faster than yesterday. without any other settings

[trail cape]

In my options under vsync there's a bar that says Maximum FPS.

[hallow pond]

yeah i got that too, but when activating vsync i can not limit max fps and vice versa

[trail cape]

What's your maximum resolution?

[hallow pond]

2560x1440

[trail cape]

You might have to lower the res more 😦

[hallow pond]

mh ok set it to 1920x1080 now

[trail cape]

Fingers crossed!!!

[hallow pond]

so far it runs...

only thing i d have changed now is the resolution

it all does not make any sense

[hallow pond]

now the game crashed so hard, i had to reset my pc

its just a huge mess

ill get a refund.

[trail cape]

I'm so sorry to hear that man, it is a huge mess.

[thorn pebble]

Oof, hope you get your money back quick

[hallow pond]

what a waste of time

tried for 18 hours with 15 crashes during that time

[hallow pond]

great

the refund was declined...

as it it over 2 hours playtime

so you can sell any trash you want as a developer

[storm blaze]

Think you've to file it in some special way that an actual human checks it instead of AI

because the bot will just look "yeah he has more than 2hours"

[hallow pond]

tried for a 2nd time with "responding text" to the first

the way i did it has to read a human, because why would i need to enter text if not

[hallow pond]

2nd request also got cancelled.

well 30 euros in the trash

[thorn pebble]

you can prolly contact the devs here and have them help you sort it out

[faint cape]

!support would probably be better

[ripe brook]

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

[faint cape]

They should be able to refund it themselves I think, if Steam won't

[hallow pond]

i wrote them an email

[mystic karma]

I just unlocked empowered monoliths and was wondering if there was any kind of preferred order in which to start them

[buoyant condor]

I do the ones that give stats and starting with the one that is most beneficial to my current build

[stark ravine]

If you're planning/aspiring to do Aberroth you might consider doing whatever your least favorite timeline boss/harbinger is first just so you're not stuck having to do that scaled up way higher than you prefer

[mystic karma]

Do you always keep the highest roll of a blessing, or just the most recent?

[stark ravine]

You get to pick between any of the new offerings and keeping your current blessing

And then you can always go talk to the NPC in the end of time to swap a blessing for the highest roll that character has seen (or the minimum roll seen by another character in the same mode)

[zealous turret]

Why is the background of this item two separate colors?

[stark ravine]

It's got an experimental affix on it, which only rolls on stuff dropped from the imprisoned mages

[zealous turret]

So it's rare plus experimental? Can there be things like "unique plus experimental"?

[stark ravine]

can't have unique plus experimental, but you can have exalted (purple) plus experimental

[toxic echo]

that would be a legendary item, by putting an experimental affix on a unique with LP thru the temporal sanctum

[zealous turret]

LP?

[stark ravine]

Legendary Potential - uniques can (rarely) drop with 1 - 4 legendary potential, which indicates how many affixes can be added (chosen at random) from a matching exalted item (which is done at the end of the temporal sanctum dungeon)

It's the endgame crafting/gear chase system, e.g. get a unique you want to use in your build with legendary potential, combine with an exalted item, hope RNG picks the affixes you wanted off of the exalted item 😉

[zealous turret]

I just made it to the end game and haven't even looked into crafting yet 😅

[crystal jackal]

do we have a page explanig how to calculate how much ward you will have when you're using ecsanguineous, last steps of the living and experimental modifier?

[zealous turret]

Is there any way to make any zone be your level, to run through whichever we want and not have it be low level?

[toxic echo]

no. area levels are static

[toxic echo]

ward calc is on tunklabs iirc

[sly fable]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ward

[surreal verge]

No.

[acoustic thicket]

Just wondering if going a pet build, what is the player doing since the build revolves around the pets to do majority of the damage?

Am I swinging at things to make stuff proc to further their usefulness?

[toxic echo]

entirely depends on what class.

necro pet builds are fairly passive, normally focusing on buffing the minions and resummoning, tho there are many variants here and you can be pretty active if wanted

beastmaster is very in the front lines with the pets attacking alongside

druids can be a mix, depending on if totems or companions

sentinel forged weapons are formed by the player attacking

[acoustic thicket]

You're a beaut, Eagles, thank you for this

[crystal jackal]

thanks!

[acoustic thicket]

When leveling up, its not really worth investing into crit until much later right?

[crystal jackal]

bleed is OP on low lvls

[quaint gale]

Hey guys im on my first playthrough and i feel a bit underlvld approaching the imperial dreadnaught. Any tips for me to lvl up quick?

[stark ravine]

You can always repeat previous areas if you want to grind out levels - areas aren't persistent so they reset as soon as you leave them. With that said, you also can't gain bonus XP from enemies beyond +10 levels, so if you're level 20 and kill a level 70 enemy it's only as good as a level 30 enemy's worth of XP.

Most "level quickly" type stuff (which may not feel suitable for a first playthrough!) generally recommends just rushing through the current zone without killing anything if possible as you're doing the campaign until the zone level is 5 levels above your character

[quaint gale]

Thank you friend!

[stone gate]

Hi all, haven’t played in a bit. Curious about some skills.
Has Rampage been fixed to no longer desync so badly in online mode, also still getting stuck on terrain and stairs?

[lime wyvern]

So... Whats the best build of 2025 now? Thoughts on whats gonna be the best build by the end of the year?

[trail wave]

Necromancer bees with fear ability. BOO BEES

[mystic karma]

Do monolith modifiers stack additively? e.g. if I already have a 40% to apply Mark For Death modifier, and go into another echo with the same modifier, does it become 80%? And what happens if it goes above 100?

[surreal verge]

Yes.
It would have a chance to apply two, if more than 1 stack of it can exist.

[nimble bear]

Is there a way to save my stash configurations to "reload" it next season? Or do I have to rebuild it by hand?

[desert tree]

Rebuild

For now

They are looking at it

[nimble bear]

this would be a cool feature! Thanks for answer 🙂

[mystic karma]

Just so I understand, the 'uncapped resistance' is the entire resistance value, or anything above 75%?

[surreal verge]

All of it.

So if you have 120% it counts 120%

[mystic karma]

Cheers. The wording is a bit confusing 😅

[glossy atlas]

Heyhey, returning player here, not sure what to choose between sorc / spellblade / vk warpath. Ideally not directly following a guide but self exploring. Anything I should avoid right now (until 1.2 maybe)? I prefer „fast“ builds. Thanks for any help / guidance 🙂

[desert tree]

Of the 3 you mentionned Sorc is definitely the strongest option (Sorc is a bit op rn)

[final kettle]

Hey, noob here. Just wondering, what are these arena and dungeon keys good and most importantly are they worth running?

[thorn pebble]

Temporal Sanctum is a given, as long as you're looking to make any legendary item at all

The other two, meh, if you have any boss sepcific unique you need, or if you have a pile of gold and can't spend them, then yes ig

Personally I hate the arena

I'd rather uninstall than play another round of arena. But you should try it at least once.

[final kettle]

Why is that?

[trail wave]

because legendaries are the best possible items and you can only make them at the end of sanctum (combine an unique and exalt)

[final kettle]

I found legendaries in the nemesis thingy too

[trail wave]

nemesis is completely random though

[final kettle]

Ah so with Temporal Sanctum I can combine items with affixes I need?

[mystic karma]

How does critical strike avoidance over 100% works? As I understand it, with 100% I can't ever be crit by an enemy, so what does more than 100% do?

[brittle bear]

Uniques can have "Legendary Potential" if you got one of them, you need an exalted item of the same item base (boots to boots, head to head etc), with 4 (not 5!) stats on it. Then you can clear the Temporal Sanktum and slam the exalted into the unique. Depending on the amount of legendary potential, one to four stats will be randomly transfered to the unique, and the exalted item will be destroyd

[final kettle]

Thanks a lot that's super easy to understand.

[crystal jackal]

what key is this?

[mystic karma]

Left shift

[crystal jackal]

omgggg

[mystic karma]

I asked the same question

[brittle bear]

E.g.: You have a unique chest with 4 LP (legendary potential), and you have an exalted chest with 4 stats. Then all four will be transferred as they are.

If you have a chest with 2 LP and the same exalted chest, two of the four stats will be transferred. But you can't choose which one, so its kinda important to have four useful stats on the exalted, even if you only really want two of them

[mystic karma]

I know

[crystal jackal]

thanks!

[mystic karma]

It's really unclear 😅

[brittle bear]

Or X if you use a controller

[toxic echo]

there are some things that scale with crit avoid over 100...falconer has something. other than that, it does nothing

[brittle bear]

imagine having 120% crit avoidance and getting 20% of the initial crit damage als heal 😱 that would be awesome

[mystic karma]

Currently sitting on 114%. 14% heal would be nice 🤣

[brittle bear]

like inverted thorns, but only for incomming crits

as we're talking about crit avoidance...

The mob hits me normal for 100 dmg and has 200% increased crit dmg. The crit would deal 300 dmg to me.

If I have 100% crit dmg reduction, does the crit then deal the normal 100 dmg, or non at all?

should be 100 dmg, right?

[mystic karma]

Yes, you still take the normal damage, just not the crit

[brittle bear]

Thanks mate!
Do we have somewhere access to the calculation formulas?

[mystic karma]

Assuming it hasn't changed, and I don't believe it has given what people are still saying more recently: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/does-crit-chance-100-do-anything/25831/5

[brittle bear]

sorry, I meant for the math in general. Would be interested in have a look into some stuff, as I'm currently converting some melee into ranged and get some unexpected results

[surreal verge]

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

There's no convert double dipping btw, so if you convert something the old 'stat' doesn't do anything.

[glossy atlas]

Between Spellblade & Sorcerer: is there a significant difference in „fun“ between them? Subjective, I know. I could imagine both being fun to play, is one of them more varied (rotation/build variety) than the other? Going higher in corruptions probably won‘t be my main motivation, rather having fun playing. (So sorcerer being stronger would be cool, but not too important for me)

[desert tree]

I am a Melee guy so if I do a Mage I go Spellblade

Melee Attacks proccing Spells 👌

[glossy atlas]

Good to hear 🙂 also like me some melee, so that‘s just the doublecheck I needed, thx 🙏

[frosty beacon]

mage ?: if i take teleporting strikes in mana strike, whats a better node to offset mana costs, archanists blade (+) or mana drian (%)?

[onyx ice]

Is it possible to have more than one blessing from a timeline?

[toxic echo]

no. one from each timeline

[onyx ice]

Ah okey, so when maxroll suggest multiple blessings they mean pick one of the ones they mention

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/echo-warpath-void-knight-guide#blessings-header

[mystic karma]

Why did a Harbinger not come after I killed Lagon in the empowered timeline? The thing to draw it out was ticked...

[toxic echo]

Are you at the required corruption for the quest

[mystic karma]

Oh, the corruption also has to go up too?

I see, yeah, that would be it

[twin jewel]

Can anyone explain what Ruby Venom is to me?

the alt tooltip has no info

holding alt just says i can have multipe stacks

maybe its just fire damage?

[candid elm]

Gain Ruby Venom for 10 seconds on Block.
You can have multiple stacks of Ruby Venom.
15% increased Fire Damage per stack of Ruby Venom.
15% increased Poison Damage per stack of Ruby Venom.
So yes, when you block you get increased fire and poison damage.

[twin jewel]

nice, thank you

[zealous turret]

Can the tooltip delay for items on the ground be reduced/removed?

[rich wigeon]

@desert tree Sorry, doing some work stuff meanwhile

hm, I don't know how to write it down tbh

it's more of a visual thing

[stuck wagon]

Hello. I am new player in ARPG (just want to start any RPG online). I did a research and found: PoE2, Last Epoch, Grim Dawn.

In my research I saw Last Epoch has 75% positive reviews on steam but i'm other hand is casual friendly.

What would you guys tell me about this game? How is it in actual state? I want any of actual players honest recommendation before I buy it.

Thanks in advice

[twin oak]

The game is good and getting better with every major update but they come out much slower than with other games (the next is in April)
Initially this was an offline only game but they added online like 2 years ago, which has slowed down development by a lot
The biggest issues are performance and bugs, they are always being worked upon but they can take a long time to get fixed. Most can be worked around or ignored but there are still some really annoying ones that can be unavoidable for some users (crashes, lag)
I personally like the game a lot and I like to put a lot of hours during the first weeks of a season

[fallow geyser]

Very good game to get into the genre in my opinion.
PoE2 is very hard for new players especially if you just wanna try your own build and SSF (solo self found/no trading)

Last Epoch is very beginner friendly with the best progression feeling and best crafting in my opinion.

You could also try PoE1 which is free but also an ARPG for veterans I‘d say. Still, there is no harm in trying 🙂

Grim Dawn is old and it feels old imo. Still a good game tho

[stuck wagon]

Thanks, I think I will buy it today

[storm wren]

no, I don't want to try the own build but solid blocks still in poe 2 because it need pretty basic for action games, then it test your luck heavily.

[storm wren]

I still can level up a character to max level in last epoch even I don't have any knowledge for this game genre

and I'm surprised I still passionate at this game so I went to try another characters in le

I feel the time in mapping of poe 2 is very long... I can do 2-3 maps in le within the same time

[stuck wagon]

What about end game guys?

[storm wren]

You need to choose one in cof and mg, I'm a player lives in offline mode so cof is the only choice.
Cof can increase the drop rate of special item types a lot if you know how to play that faction.
Another faction in endgame is forgotten knight, that's a system for killing harbingers to unlock the pinnacle boss. Double harbinger types only but all of them have exclusive drops.
Another big area is corruption. Increase corruption for

1. You can do more prophecies (many of them required regular corruption)
2. Get exclusive drops from the boss who help you increasing corruption
3. Test how solid your build is, your build must can kill T4 Julra (the boss in a dungeon, temporal Sanctum, which the only place to slam your unique items) before you can kill that pinnacle boss, Abboerth. The difficulty as equal as 500+ corruption. 320 corruption+ is the pass line for challenging T4 Julra.

Another new contents brought with forgotten knight is Nemesis, this encounter can give you surprises always by excellent random exalted gears or you get better unique items (more lp or affixes you want)

Why I think I'm introduce the endgame gameplay more than I'm talking about my feelings...
Lol
Nothing I'm unhappy in mapping of le so far but it needs more new contents after I played that 600h

[fallow geyser]

endgame is shallow if you compare it with PoE1 but still has a lot to offer so you'll likely spend lots of hours in it having fun gearing up and chasing bigger fish (bosses) with corruption going higher for increased difficulty.
Even if I love PoE1's endgame diversity, it still goes down to always the same things you do (as a long time player) because efficiency and not every mechanic is equally good. You don't have that problem in LE, you just have fun mapping, finding better gear with CoF (faction for SSF to increase drops) until you're not having fun anymore and want to try other characters or the other games which is fine. Like others said, next big update is still a few month away for LE which will expand endgame because the community wishes for that the most and devs care.

In PoE2 endgame is very tedious and I don't have much to say as I quit it because of not having fun. I'd recommend going into PoE2 once it's released since all the bad things getting fixed until then. Also it's missing a lot of things/classes and ascendancies and story isn't complete

[stuck wagon]

Thanks 🙂 Today I will buy LE then. You bought me

[storm wren]

The regret orb in poe is a big block for me

[fallow geyser]

one thing I really love about LE is your time spent feels rewarded every time. You'll always find things that peaks your interest

[fallow geyser]

hope you're having a great time 🙂 if you have any questions, feel free to ask. The community is very active and friendly

[grand shoal]

Easy choice for me: If you like games that show they hate you, choose PoE(2).
If you like that a game is (sometimes a bit too much) player friendly, choose LE. None is perfect, but I want the latter feeling when playing games! Life and work is chore enough!

[storm wren]

I want to say the craft system but I don't know Poe's one very well
Le's craft system is perfect by sorting affixes as prefix and suffix then give you these affixes by
-Random shard drops (can use them directly)
-Random gear drops (need to shatter gears to get regular shards)

[fallow geyser]

poe1 has the same respec than PoE2 now so you can respec with gold or orbs but I agree that it was something I really disliked as a SSF player

[storm wren]

Shatter gears to get affixes is the key for Le's craft system I suppose because I can just pick up gears which included special affixes I want filtered by loot filter.

Loot filter is another solid and cool feature in le.
I can filter my loots by setting rules for loots I want so
-What I don't need will be hided
-What I need will be recolored

Oh so I need to play ssf if I don't want to trade in poe 2...
Get a new info

I just know mg is match with trade, no idea what is cof match with

[proud prawn]

Cof is pretty much EHG's invention

[fallow geyser]

CoF is just for people that don't want to trade. SSF in PoE is: trading and teaming up is disabled but you can still give your other characters in that league gear/currency. PvE-Singleplayer if you wanna call it like that^^
But you don't need to play SSF if you don't wanna trade, you can also play trade but never trade for gear as it's a good bit more complicated than the newly integrated currency exchange.
Since currency is also crafting material in PoE, you're restricting yourself a lot in SSF.

But yes, setting up a lootfilter, crafting, endgame..everything is much more complicated in PoE than LE and that's why it's very good for new people to the genre.
PoE is like a job. LE is like vacation 😅

[proud prawn]

Compensation for players who dont want to play trade

[tranquil obsidian]

trying to refine my exalt filter, but i need to hoard items for all classes. What are the truly useless affixes (or to better say useless to have a >T5)?
For now i think this ones could be on the chopping block (softcore ONLY)
Life on kill
Life on hit
Chance to blind
Chance to stun
Parry chance
Chance to find potions
Block Effectiveness
Chance to Apply Frailty on Hit
Increased Critical Strike Chance
Damage Reflected
Damage Reflected to Attackers
Dodge Rating
Dodge Rating for 4 seconds on potion use
Health Gained on Block
Increased Healing Effectiveness
Minion Health
Ward Gained on Kill
Chance to Apply Frailty on Melee Hit
Chance To Chill Attackers
Chance To Shred Armour on Hit
Chance To Slow Attackers
Chance to Slow on Hit
Dodge Rating
Freeze Rate Multiplier
Health Gained on Glancing Blow
Increased Stun Chance
Increased Stun Chance With Melee Attacks
Minion Freeze Rate Multiplier
Stun Avoidance

[surreal verge]

There's uses for :
Increased Crit Strike Chance
Increased Healing Effectiveness
Chance to Shred Armour on Hit

[tranquil obsidian]

even at >T5?

[surreal verge]

Why not? All 3 don't cap out at 100%, but healing effectiveness is admitted a bit niche

[thorn pebble]

I can confirm that healing effectiveness is actually a pretty legit sustain stat on a scorpion build

[grand shoal]

The stat is super useful on that build, if you play HP - but nothing you want on your gear usually, or? You want to get as much from your idols as possible

[naive pike]

I am 10 levels above my friend. Will anything bad happen to his exp if I join him?

[toxic echo]

nope

it all depends on area level

if he is 50, in a 65 area, the xp he will get it as if he was in a 60

[naive pike]

Yeah but if he's in like a level 20 area and he's level 20, me joining him as a level 30 won't hurt?

[toxic echo]

nope

[naive pike]

How does the game decide to drop resonance for you?

Is it based on exp gain or is it a random chance?

[toxic echo]

random afaik

its some time based thing, but its not 100% thing

[rich wigeon]

I'm kinda stuck losing interest in actually building a character, because I'm a bit lost at what to do.

So on my Void Knight I did these 4 timelines (some a few times) and now doing the 5th one (Ending The Storm)
I heard that the best way is to just push through the right side of the timelines, but the recommended level jumps up considerably, and the enemies start oneshotting you.
I did Lagon fight in the MSQ, and cleared it after a few tries - but when I did Lagon in Ending The Storm - he 1-2 shots me.
What should I do?

[naive pike]

Can it happen that only one person in the party can see a nemesis?

[brittle bear]

try getting to the top of the map, do the three ones there to unlock the empowered monos. Then your endgame begins, so to say. Spirits of fire, the last ruin and the age of winter

[rich wigeon]

can't progress past the current timeline

[brittle bear]

maybe you have to walk to the next waypoint if you're doing it for the first time

[faint cape]

Your level being over his suppresses that extra xp from playing in a higher level zone (instead of getting xp in zone levels up to +10 levels, he'll get xp as if the zone is exactly his level), but if you are playing together in a zone at his level or lower, no effect

[faint cape]

Yes, if one person is unable to get a nemesis in that area for whatever reason, should only happen in campaign

[rich wigeon]

It seems that you can't walk to the next point cause it's locked until you clear the current Mono

[brittle bear]

yes, that's true. but you don't have to do all monos to get to the top three ones

[storm wren]

What's MSQ?

[rich wigeon]

yeah, I'm not saying that I need to do all monos

[rich wigeon]

main story quest

[faint cape]

If regular enemies are 1-2 shotting you, you may need some more health/defenses

[naive pike]

What examples of "whatever reason" are there?

[brittle bear]

then I don't understand why you can't progress any further?

[rich wigeon]

For example this is the way you are supposed to progress, according to the guides

[rich wigeon]

I did Lagon fight in the MSQ, and cleared it after a few tries - but when I did Lagon in Ending The Storm - he 1-2 shots me.
What should I do?

can't clear the mono boss

[faint cape]

If a player has a "current" nemesis that has items generated in an area 15+ levels above the campaign zone level or if the player has had a few (I think 3-ish?) nemesis spawns in higher level campaign zones.

[surreal verge]

I think only a planner helps, as if you're getting one shotted here there's probably something very wrong with your build.

[storm wren]

You can just do right side indeed because lv. 85 one is the only monolith can access three lv. 90 monolithes

[brittle bear]

ah! I thought it would be an bug etc.

What class / build are you playing? the lagon fight is one of the easiest in my opinion

[rich wigeon]

I used the planner for skills+passives, but not for gear (cause I don't want to spoil myself on the gear drops)

do you need any screenshots of my stats?

[cedar locust]

You can share your build with us here using https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/ and we can help 🙂

[storm wren]

Yeah your question is about your builds are weak on offense or defense

[rich wigeon]

ah, ok will do

[storm wren]

I don't think Lagon one is easy though... The harbinger is a nightmare

[brittle bear]

no harbinger in normal monos iirc? didn't play in a few months

[rich wigeon]

I almost killed Lagon in one of the tries (he was at 20% or so), but then he critted and oneshot me

with like some arm attack

[brittle bear]

yeah, you have literally no crit avoidance / reduction and your resis are quite low

[storm wren]

Yeah, they in empowered timelines only

[rich wigeon]

I have like 10 more questions about what method of gearing should be for my level rn (cause I can't just go and craft Legendaries yet I assume) and also when and how to raise all resistances to 75%+

[desert tree]

Alright, wayyy too little hp and res
Too many uniques thats dont really help you

[brittle bear]

your body armour give you "you do not regenerate health", which implies you NEED another source of heal or ward

[rich wigeon]

I have heal on my skills, so the healing part has been fine so far

[desert tree]

She got leech too

[faint cape]

For Lagon specifically, I'd recommend focusing on getting your phys res capped first thing, try replacing some of the less useful unique/legendary items you're wearing for some rare/exalted items, and you can craft on them with the forge which will help you get what you need

[brittle bear]

was more informational to understand her gear better

[faint cape]

Then cold and lightning resists will also be helpful in the Lagon fight

and endurance (% endurance, not endurance threshold)

[storm wren]

Empowered timelines requires capped resistance

[desert tree]

Is that supposed to be a Warpath Melee Build or Spell Build ?

[brittle bear]

"Abyssal endurance", void knight passives, first row top. Could give you 40% phys res

[rich wigeon]

Warpath + void damage + warpath activates Abyssal Echoes

[surreal verge]

Healing doesn't help if you get one shotted.

[rich wigeon]

well, I don't get oneshotted by Lagon usually

it looks like this:

[brittle bear]

Do you have one by any chance?

[rich wigeon]

he hits me - I drop down to 50% - I leech back to 100%

rinse and repeat

at some point he hits me twice fast, or instakills me with the beam, or hits me once but with a crit - then I'm dead

[rich wigeon]

I have one

[storm wren]

I guess maybe you're not familiar with lagon's attacks so it's easy to be slain

[brittle bear]

please try putting it on and try Lagon again. would be interested to see if it makes a difference

[faint cape]

The claw attacks are physical damage, so getting your physical resistance to 75% will help a good amount. Capping (60%) endurance or at least investing some into that will help with getting 1- or 2-shot as well.

[brittle bear]

Because I get the feeling you're just getting wasted by crits because you don't know the boss in and out to dodge all attacks. I remeber really good how many hours i wiped at him on my first character 😄

[rich wigeon]

hm, I dodged most of the attacks and that's how I got to 20%

I think I just greed with the spins

or maybe I don't realize that I could have dodged even more attacks

[faint cape]

It's possible to dodge nearly 100% of what Lagon does, but it's also really easy to get greedy and die on many bosses in this game, I've definitely done that many times lol

[brittle bear]

"I'll just burst his last 10%, easy kill!" BAM! dead 🤣

[rich wigeon]

btw Endurance kicks in even when you are not at that endurance threshold yet, right? I mean as a oneshot protection
For example you have Max HP at 1000 and Endurance threshold at 250HP - and you get hit by an instance of damage that deals 900 points of damage

does it:

1. Just eats 900 of your HP and now you are at 100
   or
2. Deals the first 750 points of damage, then the threshhold kicks in and the remaining 150 points of damage are now mitigated by however much Endurance% you have ?

[brittle bear]

my longest Lagon fight when I started LE was around 16 minutes ... so, take your time

[faint cape]

Right, it's always active protecting that last chunk of health, so number 2

[rich wigeon]

ok, ty

ok, so um

I still don't know what to do step by step rn

1. Get rid of all Uniques and craft Exalted with resistances (cold, phys)?
2. For chest use that Unique chest, Woven Flesh

[brittle bear]

Put on woven flesh, have a quick look into your stash if you can replace some items with good resistance / health items and then just try him again to see if it was a crit dmg problem

[storm wren]

Stack unique items is the mistake I made while I played le too

[rich wigeon]

yeah, that's the pit I'm in rn

I don't get what's the gearing path like at this part of the game

online guides just say "go craft Legendaries"

[storm wren]

Figured out which affixes your build need the most is the most important thing...Plus cap all resistances

[brittle bear]

because that would be the stats of an exalted merged into the unique ... which is very powerfull. But a lot of uniques without the LP are just ... weak

[faint cape]

Usually the gear path is finding a good rare in each slot, or good-ish exalts (the purple items)

[desert tree]

I don't agree with this one

[storm wren]

Void damage? Melee damage? Strength? Endurance?
Then you must balance them in your gears

[desert tree]

Titan Heart gives a lot of hp and Less Dmg Taken all the time

[faint cape]

Crafting legendaries in each slot is not a realistic gearing thing, since usually those uniques will all need to be 3+ LP to be better than good exalts, and those 3+ LP uniques are excessively rare

[rich wigeon]

so, full purple then? for now

[brittle bear]

yep. But that seemd not to be her problem for me, but getting one shotted by crits

[faint cape]

but some uniques may work well in your build at 0-2 LP, and outside of those yeah all purple is the goal

[storm wren]

Which affixes her void knight need the most on offense?

[faint cape]

even getting good exalts on good item bases (the item bases are very important since you can get a ton of useful stats on them) takes a long time usually, so I usually just aim to get incremental upgrades as I go

[brittle bear]

For uniques I ask myself "Do I want / need the unique function to sacrifice the normal stats on a rare / exalted item?"

[faint cape]

and definitely use the forge heavily (default hotkey for it is F)

[storm wren]

For me, I will detail "normal stats" to which resistances or which affixes I can give up

[desert tree]

@rich wigeon
~https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/oYnKWq2A
I changed your passives, I got you 500 extra hp, some resist and a bit more dmg

[desert tree]

Lowering her max hp means she will get killed by other stuff instead

[surreal verge]

Both lagon beams MUST be dodged. One insta kills even defensive builds, and the other is considered a DoT.

[sonic saddle]

i wouldn't say the non-DoT beam is mandatory to dodge for tanky builds

it can hit quite hard but not necessarily one shot

but this isn't a tanky build

the dot beam tho, yeah don't stand in that

[rich wigeon]

ok, I found these in my chest: I could remove or reroll the first line, and its looking good for the gloves, right?

[storm wren]

Void knight needs throwing attack speed?

[sonic saddle]

er

[rich wigeon]

why?

[sonic saddle]

only if it's a throwing build

Amelia's doesn't look to be

[rich wigeon]

I don't need it, that's why I'm saying this:

I could remove or reroll the first line, and its looking good for the gloves

[sonic saddle]

looks fine, get the two suffixes up to 5 then chaos the prefix till you get something that works

[rich wigeon]

oh, not chaos first and then upgrade the suffixes?

[sonic saddle]

level up the stuff that is guaranteed to be good first

[rich wigeon]

for the boots can go with this I think

same treatment as the gloves

ok, the rest of the purple gear I'll do myself to not spam here

and then uh

so at what point of the game do I bring all resistances to 75%? And how to do that?

I think I heard in some guide that you can get some passive boons to boost resistances

by doing Monos or smth

[sonic saddle]

generally you'd finish that off in your first trip round empowered monos to get all your blessings

[sonic saddle]

when you beat a mono boss you got to pick from a selection of orb things right? those are blessings

those are the passive bonuses

there's a tab at the top of your inventory screen to see them

[rich wigeon]

yeah, I was wondering about those too - when I choose one of the three, and then imagine I repeat the same Mono and can choose again and choose a new one - does the blessing from the first round of that Mono get replaced?

[sonic saddle]

yes

[rich wigeon]

So I can't just unlock and activate all Blessings at the same time?

[storm blaze]

no

[sonic saddle]

no, that'd make gearing completely trivial lol

there's an NPC that lets you swap between the highest rolls of blessings you've gotten before

[rich wigeon]

oh ok, so that exists

nice!

[storm wren]

Try to find exalted boots with T6/T7 movement speed can help you kill bosses more easily too

[rich wigeon]

so far I crafted these (T5 speed ><)

[desert tree]

Careful not to go overboard with res

[rich wigeon]

ah....

[desert tree]

Boots + gloves and you already are 83%

It's wasted

[rich wigeon]

ok, now I focus on Endurance Threshold

[desert tree]

Endurance or Hp

Hp is always good

No, not Threshold

[rich wigeon]

this one has HP and Endurance

[desert tree]

% Endurance is more valuable

[rich wigeon]

ah, I misread it

I thought Father Toast said "focus on threshold, not %)

ok, I'll do % then

[desert tree]

Did you change your passives?

[rich wigeon]

not yet

(idk if I want to)

[desert tree]

Why not?

[rich wigeon]

feels weird to have everything be changed all at once without thinking

it's like buying a level skip in an MMO

but I can change the nodes that are super out of place

[desert tree]

Ok, I can explain you the reasons of the changes if you like

[rich wigeon]

Yse pls 🙏

[desert tree]

Give me a sec

I'll try to escape my son's bedroom without waking him up

[rich wigeon]

aww

[desert tree]

Nap time was a bit complicated

https://tenor.com/view/mission-accomplished-corridor-crew-task-completed-mission-success-gif-10839870711366350889

[storm wren]

I thought people lives on Europe and NA/SA don't have habits for napping on afternoon... I'm wrong

[storm blaze]

I nap in the afternoon all the time

[wheat marsh]

What’s the best build to go atm

[storm blaze]

Also Vlad is talking about his son who's still like... 2 years old or something

[storm wren]

🤔 I'll very tired at night if I don't take a nap before, but it's better since i sleep at 3:00 and wake up at 12:00

My brain just can't accept to keep waking in morning XD

[rich wigeon]

Ty, community :3

@desert tree

was so easy with the changes now

the damage was mediocre, but the defenses were over the top

[brittle bear]

awesome, good job!

[desert tree]

4 (tomorrow actually 🎉🎉)

[storm blaze]

Ah. Sorry. Can't keep up with all the ages

[surreal verge]

Depends on class, there's enough top meta builds

[desert tree]

Changes every year, super annoying

[storm wren]

I guess the most annoying thing is clothes and shoes

[warm token]

hey hey looking a recommendation of a class thats somewhere in the low to midrange of tankiness with good screen clear

or a very tanky melee

[fierce epoch]

its anyone on legacy can teleport me at isle of storms divine era?
it might help me with a bug one of my characters have on quest line

[cedar locust]

Welcome @warm token ! You can look here for 'Monolith Farmer' builds - https://www.lastepochtools.com/build-guides/ 😊 Those will be close to what you're looking for!

You can also check out Maxroll and Icy Veins

[cedar locust]

You can also ask in #👥┃lfg 🙂

[warm token]

thanks for the resource

[cedar locust]

No worries! Another great site to use is https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/! It has some calculators and a bestiary, along with a TON of info if you need it 😊

[candid elm]

There's also the guides on Maxroll if you want more builds to look at

[rich wigeon]

ok, new questions:
Loot Filters:

1. If I play various classes - should I have one filter to cover all of them? Or separate filters per character.
2. What should it look like? I tried following the guide here but it was an overdose of information and I couldn't set it up completely:
   a) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8r7J1EKQyI
   b) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sK_SDDrGEaE

[rich wigeon]

For example it says "Add best T7 Affixes" but I don't even know which ones are the best for me

[surreal verge]

Filters should be pre char imo

[rich wigeon]

also, can't we just select all item types in here and set smth like "has a combination of at least 4 affixes that I like" instead of separating it by each piece individually?

[candid elm]

I sometimes just add a filter to a character if I want to watch out for items for a different character.

Other than that, I do it per character

[rich wigeon]

so you in theory miss out on some good items for your Character B, C, D when you play on Character A, right?

but at least you can fully focus only on one character when you play

[candid elm]

Maybe, but lately I've just been making a new character each Cycle and not playing my old Characters in Legacy. If I was rolling a second Cycle character, I could add some filters if I was trying to farm some items for the second on the first

[rich wigeon]

ohh, you only have 1 character per 1 Cycle

[candid elm]

You can have as many as you want. I've mostly been just playing one each new content release

[rich wigeon]

ah, you have many per Cycle but play mostly 1, I get it now

[cyan jacinth]

Does anyone have FPS issues when big mobs of enemies come on screen? Most of the time the game runs fine for me, but when big mobs show up it slows down 20-30fps

[toxic echo]

yeah. when it happens, do a bug report about it, please

[candid elm]

As far as which Affixes are the best, it varies by the build. For example, last cycle I was playing a Torment Warlock, and I was looking for offensively:
Necrotic resistance - there's a passive that lets you scale this for damage.
Crit multi - there's a passive that lets you scale this for ailment damage.
Flat +spell damage.
% increased Necrotic damage.
Necrotic penetration - didn't need Necrotic Shred as a passive gave that already.
And generic stuff like Intelligence, cast speed, crit chance, etc.

And defensively:
Ward stuff as I was doing a Ward build. So Intelligence, Ward retention, Ward per second, etc.
Necrotic res also defensively for a unique that makes it give Ward per second.
Armor - works with Ward. I tried to get a lot of Armor. Skipped Endurance as that only works on damage to health.
Sources of debuffs like Fraility, Chill, and Slow.

And the +skills Affixes for the skills I was using.

[cyan jacinth]

Yeah, I thought about contacting EGS support. I’ve also had issues with POE 2, and have reinstalled my graphics driver to make sure it wasn’t on my end.

[toxic echo]

there are some things you can try in the faq's

if its in multiple games, might not specifically be the game. but either way, send in a bug report, might be something the devs can work on making better anyways

its not a terrible uncommon problem. large amounts of mobs/projectiles always had some problems

[cyan jacinth]

I also notice the FPS got worse in different maps.

[toxic echo]

anytime the game doesnt act how you expect, bug report

the more you send, the more info the devs have to track these issues down

[cyan jacinth]

I gotcha

[rich wigeon]

Is it worth it to stockpile on Unique items without any legendary potential or Weaver's Will?

[candid elm]

Ones with no LP you can use with Nemesis.

[rich wigeon]

Yeah but do I need 4 pages of no-LP ones?

[cedar locust]

If the base stats are good or the item could be useful to you then yes. There is a mob in game called a Nemesis, after level 60 they can spawn with an Egg of the Forgotten. You can place a 0LP/WW Unique in there and it will either gain an affix or gain LP 🙂

[rich wigeon]

Yeah, I've been using the eggs already, but just confused about my bank space

cause I'm so full of Uniques and Exalts now

I've set up this and it's not enough still - I need more tabs

[candid elm]

No, probably not. I used to just keep a few of the highest LP Uniques in case I wanted to craft one later. But then the Nemesis added the option for random upgrades on the no LP ones.

[cedar locust]

Focus on the ones with affixes your current build uses or could find helpful, you can probably get rid of everything else

[candid elm]

I mostly just pick up the no LP Uniques I might want to use when upgraded by Nemesis. And 2+ LP Uniques I might want to try and upgrade. I've been skipping the 1 LP Uniques unless it's the first time I've gotten it and I might use it.

[rich wigeon]

ty all! I think I'll do this: if I have multiples of the same one, I'll just pick the one with the highest rolls and sell the rest of the copies

I wanna hold on to the uniques so they can inspire me to go build some class

[candid elm]

Yeah that's good for satisfying the collection itch

[rich wigeon]

I saw someone mention smth about "posion is worse than bleed" in this server

Which brings the question - are all debuffs viable?....

[toxic echo]

all are viable to some extent.

[rich wigeon]

for example: if I go <cold> build on some class - will it be bad?

or like, poison build

etc

[toxic echo]

its more depends on context. what build, what class, etc

pretty much anything in the game can do all content. but how easy/how fast is the bigger factor

[surreal verge]

Poison is the only one that kinda sucks, but it has one meta build that can use it because of one specific node in it's class tree and a unique. There's also another meta build that uses it but it's minion based.

[surreal verge]

It depends if the class can support that build in the first place with skills. If it can, it most likely works.
Eg: Acolyte has zero cold support and almost no cold skills so acolyte can't do a cold build.

[faint cape]

Well, apart from cold minions

[rich wigeon]

(I went cold minions build with Necromancer and based on this comment I probably need to go redo the whole build to smth else xd)

[surreal verge]

It's not terrible

It works. Just not a lotta support

[mystic karma]

Legendary crafting - it can only be the 4 normal affixes that are (possibly) transferred into the legendary, not a sealed affix?

[twin oak]

yep, sealed affixes are excluded

[mystic karma]

Is it possible (not saying it is a good idea) to transfer an experimental affix to a legendary?
