[ember igloo]

nope, no VPN. strange though, I started it in offline mode, then started it in online mode and the characters I made when it gave me the error message were available for selection and I'm now in-game

[faint cape]

Huh, yeah very odd

[uncut scarab]

are you playing on a steam deck? random question

[cedar locust]

Hi there is this still happening? If it is can you please submit an In Game Bug Report (ESC) and let me know? Thank you!

[flint citrus]

How does armor work? Is it just a flat X% damage reduction, or does it scale with the damage of an incoming attack(Like POE)

[surreal verge]

Flat %, depending on your armour amount.

[flint citrus]

4200 armor for a tooltip of 60% DR

[surreal verge]

That's 60% DR for physical damage and ( 60 x 0.7)% for non-physical damage.

[flint citrus]

43% for elemental. Makes elemental conversion pretty nice, it would seem.

[surreal verge]

You mean all other damage types. Elemental means "Fire, Cold and Lightning"

[flint citrus]

Uh, yes. lmao.

[hexed bolt]

found an workaround for myself, i set the mastery quality to "very low", the other settings all on "ultra" and limit it with nvidia control panel to 75fps
because idk why, but if u limit the fps via LE or try v-sync my gpu goes crazy as hell

[cedar locust]

What card do you have?

[hexed bolt]

3070

tried something with the settings and when i set the mastery quality to "medium", LE instant needs 6gb+ vram

[cedar locust]

Hmmm, I'll pass that to the team, thanks for letting us know 🙂

[hexed bolt]

idk if it is something with my pc or so, a friend of mine had the same gpu before and didnt hat so much issues

[cedar locust]

Drivers can cause issues, it might also be that they had the same GPU but on a different patch version of the game

[hexed bolt]

yeah of course, we are playing LE together since a long time^^ and i didnt mean the same GPU in a "another 3070" i mean "same same".
but yeah i think i found a little fix but need to test it further, but for now it works fine

[cedar locust]

Did you happen to submit any IGBRs before you changed your settings?

[hexed bolt]

yes, yesterday

[cedar locust]

Can you submit another with the new settings and let me know your Account name?

[hexed bolt]

sure, give me a moment, should i write the accountname via PM?

[cedar locust]

@grave epoch is the easiest if you don't want to type it in here, you can also just put 'CMAverielle' somewhere in the bug report and I can search for it with that 😁

[hexed bolt]

ok i write a report with the "CM..." 😄

ah and figured out how modmail works^^

[cedar locust]

Either works, Modmail can be a bit finicky to use so it's good to have options 🙂

[hexed bolt]

both worked, needed to figure out how my accountname was, because it was my old steamname^^

[cedar locust]

Ah, I get how it can be less-than-clear though if anyone from EHG needs your Account name we mean the one that appears on the Social Window (H) in game

[hexed bolt]

yes and i needed to look up with one it was^^ because i changed my steamname over the years^^

[tranquil obsidian]

question
Given 2 weapons, same identical item base:
1 - has a T7 "% increased physical damage"
2- has a T7 "% increased physical penetration".
All the other stats in both weapons are the same.

Which one will make me do MORE damage?

[desert tree]

Usually Penetration since it's a different bucket of dmg and you often have quite a bit of Increase Dmg

It really depends on the situation

[brittle bear]

If I understand it correct, it should be like that and that mostly depends on your current stats.
e.g. you already have 1000% increased phys damage and get another 200% on top, that would be (excluding the other variables), 20% "more" damage output. If you have 600% increased phys damage and get another 200% on top, that would be 33.3% "more" dmg output.

Where 20% increased phys pen is 20% "more" phys damage

the "more" is in quotes, because "more" has a specific function in LE and don't wont to throw them together here

And I'm not completely sure if dmg penetration applies to dots like bleed?

[surreal verge]

They do, assuming correct damage type.

[brittle bear]

thanks for confirming 🤗

If you want to do a deep dive into the math, Maxroll has a few case examples
https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/resources/damage-explained#case-examples-header

[ember igloo]

no, PC. All cleared up from what I can tell now

[hexed bolt]

if i combine flame rush with volcanic orb, are the shrapnels also working? because visually they only are shootin in the sky^^

[toxic echo]

thats a weird bug. please report it

[hexed bolt]

ok

[uncut scarab]

is forgotten knight progress per character?

[toxic echo]

game mode wide, like all factions

[uncut scarab]

awesome. just got to aberroth but i think i need to build my new toon to challenge him. i dont trust my current single target dps

[gilded dome]

Requires an alt to unlock empowered for it to show up though

[azure siren]

how do i stay in a corruption"?? eventually maps get filled and end up fighting shades

[twin oak]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/corruption_and_the_shade
you can lower it at the Sanctuary echo

[cyan jacinth]

Is it necessary to restart the game when you change the graphic settings?

[supple linden]

Is there a hotkey I'm missing on the controller to be able to inspect the sub spells on skills tooltips. I'm streaming to my TV and can't figure out how to get to them.

For example when I try to mouse over howl the window disappears before I can get there.

[toxic echo]

shouldnt have to but its not going to hurt anything

[hexed bolt]

ehm i have another problem xD i cant buy anything in the shop or look at things. restarted the game etc

does someone know a fix?

[buoyant condor]

are you launching the game in offline mode?

[hexed bolt]

no, online and i have enough points etc

[buoyant condor]

works for me not sure why you have trouble, make a bug report 👍

[hexed bolt]

yeah i think i need to do, thought maybe someone has a solution^^

[faint cape]

No, if nothing pops up for it when you press Alt, there's nothing more you can do

[azure siren]

so my cof experience is like sitting in the observatory getting prophecies for a couple hours per day before i get to play the game, and when i am thrown at loads of stuff before getting the one i need. wondering if the MG experience can be just less overwhelming like this

[hexed bolt]

i can say it from my own experience, i think playing MG ruins the fun. for me personally

[hexed bolt]

does someone know if "Katana of Sunken Light Bundle" it is only the name or it is a bundle with more then 1 cosmetic?

[supple linden]

you used to be able to mouse over to the sub skills with a line under them to see the tool tip for them. Now the window disappears to fast to get to them. How do people check for tags and and damage for sub skills now if you can check them in the skill tree anymore?

for example if I wanted to see how hard my storm bolts are hitting for or the scaling tags that storm bolts has.

[toxic echo]

iirc the weapons are 'bundles" cuz they go on multiple weapon types. but also i think the store is having some issues since the last update so idk if you can even get it

[hexed bolt]

ah ok thx, yeah the ig shop has issues, but the website works, but if there are issues i think it is better to wait 😄

[supple linden]

After looking around at more skill node looks like some of them have the sub skill window pop up. Thanks for the tip, its just strange that they all don't display the mentioned subskills.

[faint cape]

Yeah, it's a little janky. You can usually find a tooltip for each subskill somewhere in game, but you can only hover over tooltips to pop up other tooltips on the LE Tools website (hold Z)

Do bear in mind that subskill tooltips only show the skill's base tags, their tooltips will not update with anything you spec in the skill tree, even if they apply in actual use

[soft storm]

Yeah, myself and my play group all having the same issue - can't buy anything on the cosmetic shop at all.

[toxic echo]

just make bug reports about it and send it. there have been a few reports about it since the last patch.

im sure they know about it. just gotta see how long it takes to fix

[sly fable]

A couple HOURS?!?!

[toxic echo]

lol. prolly a little extreme, but it does take a while to roll specific prophecies sometimes, esp if you are looking for reward AND location

[azure siren]

Yeah but you know what i mean. this season so far i will let it be. next time i will try out MG. As CoF my hoarding problem is real real.

[sonic saddle]

wtf prophecies are you looking for

how much favor are you spending

wtf

[azure siren]

how do i quickly farm eyes for killing abby?

[sonic saddle]

Kill harbs at the highest corruption you can manage

[azure siren]

My idea is to farm in a timeline where the boss is the easiest to me. For me it is the reign of dragon emperor dude

[final kettle]

Empowered monoliths unlock when I finish the ones that I got when I finished campaign?

[storm blaze]

On your first character finish the 3 lvl 90 ones and kill the first harbinger

[final kettle]

And will that be a huge spike in difficulty? I’m only level 82 with 1 monolith left. Just killing everything almost instantly. But I’m worried I’ll be too underleveled for empowered.

[final kettle]

So it’s faster on second?

[surreal verge]

Level doesn’t matter as much, it’s your build and equipment

[storm blaze]

yes, on second one you just need to kill a harbinger in one of them to unlock it
and there will be a bit of a spike but you can always go back to normal ones if you struggle too much

[surreal verge]

Cosidering people can clear empowered at lv 70+-

[final kettle]

Ah than I should be okay, thanks a lot! 😇 My build does surprisingly well. But I had luck with nemesis getting a few pieces of gear that carried me hard

Also do I have to finish campaign on every alt?

[storm blaze]

No
You still want to get the idol slots and skill points
but unless you want the +1 to all stats you don't need to finish the campaign

[final kettle]

Awesome thanks a lot

[jaunty verge]

Saw there is a new upgrade in the engine. Any improvements on steamdeck ?

[timid pike]

Why i can not get in here?

[storm blaze]

Need to progress on the story

[timid pike]

Thank you 🙂

[timid pike]

What is this and what to do please?

[toxic echo]

it lets you change blessings you have seen

but you need to get to monoliths and the endgame to do anything with it

[timid pike]

Ok, thanks

[fringe oak]

Any tips for t4 Julra in the Sanctum?

[sonic saddle]

what are you having trouble with specifically?

[fringe oak]

I keep getting her down to about 20% and then get splattered with a one shot

I'm at about 12k dps, resists covered, but a little low on cold

[sonic saddle]

remember you do have the dungeon mehcanic as a last resort

oh yeah she has a tracking cold projectile

[fringe oak]

Yep, been using that to dodge the big AE's

[sonic saddle]

also the dps tooltip is meaningless

[surreal verge]

HP?

[fringe oak]

~1200hp/2400 ward, 1100 mana

[sonic saddle]

it can sometimes be okay at showing you what's better for a given skill, but often it won't be accurate to any degree and it's usless for comparing between skills

[surreal verge]

1k mana? Sorc?

[fringe oak]

Maybe I just need to learn the pattern better and get better at dodging, I can facetank t1 -3

[sonic saddle]

likely yes

[surreal verge]

The hp amount is average iirc.

[fringe oak]

Yep frostclaw sorc

[sonic saddle]

at the end of the day not standing in colourful circles of impending death is a good idea

[fringe oak]

This was a cone

[sonic saddle]

that's a cold damage spell

so yeah

also it's a big chargeup attack

standing in those generally not a good plan

[fringe oak]

Ok another cuppa and I'll try again, again

[azure siren]

I play it really safely. Whenever there is a mechanic I don’t do well I just alter the timeline. But I play a build that can bring her down in a just few rotations

[final kettle]

Soo I can't get to empowered monos. I only have one monolith to finish, but the quest echo over there is bugged or something. Whenever I load into the map the FPS slows down to like 3 FPS. I have no issue with performance, my specs are way over what's recommended

Anyone had a similar issue?

I play both on PC and LegionGO. It does the same thing regardless on which device I load into the map.

[final kettle]

This is how it looks on lowest settings

[final kettle]

believe it or not, but I had to finish the echo at 1 FPS ☠️

[uncut scarab]

might be an issue with the new engine? Definitly file a bug report. I noticed a lot of lag in one of the generic mono maps in a specific spot yesterday

[crystal jackal]

is there a lower chance to get LP in a egg in a lvl 100 dungeon than in ~450-700 corruption?

[surreal verge]

No, egg upgrades are not influenced by anything.

[crystal jackal]

does this increase single target dmg as well or just AoE clear?

[surreal verge]

That would depend on what your umbral blades do.
(Most commonly, it is the core unique that hyper scales Shadow Daggers Falconner)

[crystal jackal]

yeah, shadow daggers do all the dmg, umbral are just for delivery

[surreal verge]

Well, that's more Umbrals for more shadow daggers.

[shrewd sentinel]

if you are using spinny umbrals, an enemy can only be hit by 1 at a time

[crystal jackal]

you can also only have 3 out at a time, but this generates more than that

most of the extra umbral blades exire instantly, so which is it? more single target or noT?

[surreal verge]

If you have explosive umbrals, all but 3 explode on landing, assuming you're using bladestorm.

[crystal jackal]

yeah, have bladestorm.
what does the explosion do exactly?

[surreal verge]

Notably: Counts as a hit and will apply shadow daggers.

[crystal jackal]

so if you have that node => more single target from the boots
but id you don't have that node => only better AoE clear?

[surreal verge]

If you have that node: More AoE (Explosions and makes any overflow bladestorm also explode) and More single target (Throwing 10 Umbrals out means you apply [10+10+3] shadow dagger stacks).

There's next to no reason NOT to run that node for Shadow Daggers.

[final kettle]

Do I lose anything by dying in empowered monos? It's showing now that I neglected my defences xD

[surreal verge]

Any node reward you would have gotten, your time, and maybe your own honor, if any.

[final kettle]

ah so not much xD thanks a lot

[crystal jackal]

and the progress you can get towards the boss from that node

[surreal verge]

It's the same 'penalty' in normal monoliths, in case you didn't know-

[sacred meteor]

Anyone know how to buff up my minion against poison? Just got to act 5 and it’s destroying my minions

[faint cape]

If you're an acolyte, get the minion all resists passive. In general though, make sure to invest in some health (both increases and stacking some of the minion's attribute), leech, and maybe some regen.

[crystal jackal]

is this a known bugg?

[desert tree]

Weird

Try rebooting

[crystal jackal]

I did a echo and it changed, but I don't think 177% is correct for 207 corruption, feels like it kep the diminushing returns that kick in after 300

[desert tree]

Looks about right

[median zenith]

Each regular echo island (not beacon, not shade) has random specific enemy and player mods on it (bottom right when hovering an island). The enemy and player modifiers from the last few echoes you ran are remembered and combined to make that display in the bottom left. So the effective modifiers in an echo when running it are a combination of corruption, current echo island, and last few echo islands. I'm not sure on the specifics of how many previous islands are remembered or how much the previous islands contribute their mods, but that can lead to some of the total mods jumping up/down in value or appearing/disappearing based on what islands you've run recently, even if your corruption hasn't changed.

e.g. see how my timeline modifiers bottom left have some of the enemy health/damage and rarity/experience from the last island I ran bottom right

[crystal jackal]

Yeah, I removed all those “individual island modifies” in both screenshots since I’m just trying to farm the lagon+harby for the blessing (hence just above 200 corruption) and I hate that boss.

[median zenith]

heh ya, Lagon is a tough one, he always defeats w/e defensive layers I've built up

[crystal jackal]

Guess I remember incorrectly. I thought those % were always a bit above the corruption level until after DR started kicking in.

[crystal jackal]

And im playing a solo skelly mage build with a 18 sec CD on dreadshade, he just keeps one-shotting my minion every time he does that beam and you can’t move the minion if you press attack to close to a mob he’s already attacking.

[slate crow]

So I should be getting 18 void damage from using an axe per the Weapon Specialist* rive node. In the character sheet it says added void damage 0 and no other void damage indication is in the character sheet. What am I missing?

[torn sierra]

modifiers from skill trees don't show up in the character sheet

[slate crow]

Good to know. Odd to not have a way to track that, but good to know.

[toxic echo]

Character sheet only shows global modifiers. Since you only get it from rive...its not shown.

There is supposed to be a character sheet upgrade at some point

[slate crow]

Got it, right on. Thanks for the reply. Also have a weapon that adds void damage but dont see that affecting the sheet either :\ Wouldn't that apply to global since its not skill unique?

[torn sierra]

the in-game sheet doesn't track added flat damage but the planner at lastepochtools.com will if you input your character

[solemn anchor]

Anyone have any suggestions? I cannot play Last Epoch anymore. If I try an online character it will sit saying "Connecting" forever. If I try a new online or offline character, when the character is created, the game sits on the loading screen with the rocky hills forever. I have verified steam files which say all files ok.

[toxic echo]

You trying true offline mode? Thru steam settings. Cuz there should be no load screens on true offline

Other than that...normally a infinite load where you are saying is a vpn/internet routing issue. Can try some of these to helphttps://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1230894608406413412

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1259910320558702726

[solemn anchor]

I tried true offline mode and that does work. I will check out your links, thanks. They look fairly generic, though. I am not having any issues with my other online games but we'll see, ta.

[solemn anchor]

OK, I checked those things but I don't want to use a VPN so I deleted the game and re-installed. Same thing. I deleted the game and re-installed in a new location and now it works again. Both locations had the firewall exceptions so I have no idea why this worked but at least I can play online again now 🙂

[toxic echo]

Weird but w.e works. Lol. If you dont mind, toss a bug report when you get in about it

[solemn anchor]

Gets weirder 🙂 I logged in again to do a bug report and can't connect again. So, I restarted my PC and can connect again. I've tried 3 times in a row now and it is ok. I have no idea what is going on lol.

[solemn anchor]

Bug report raised. After sending the report, I couldn't connect again 🤣 So, when this infinite "Connecting" state happens, I have to restart my PC and then I can connect but I cannot reliably reproduce what triggers this state.

[tropic badge]

For a skill like Smelter's Wrath that splits its damage 50/50 between between physical and fire, does that mean that increases to physical damage would only be half as effective as compared to a pure physical skill like Rive?

[toxic echo]

Tf? Lol

Have you tried giving your router a 15-30 second nap?

[solemn anchor]

I've had this problem for weeks. I've actually moved from VDSL to Starlink during this time and still had the problem. Restarting the router doesn't fix it, just restarting the PC. I see application crash events after exiting the game in this state for GameAssembly.dll. Don't know if that's related or not!

[faint cape]

Yes, each individual damage type only scales with its own applicable modifiers. So for a split damage skill, you usually try to scale it differently or figure out a way to focus it all on one - for example, only the untyped "+X melee damage" is going to be split half fire and half phys, if you build typed damage like "+X melee physical damage" those aren't affected by the skill's damage type(s).

[tropic badge]

Ok thanks for confirming that. So what is the advantage to those types of skills? It sounds like it's always going to be more effort to find ways of scaling both types of damage with the same resources as needed to scale a skill with a single damage type.

[tranquil obsidian]

wow i discovered that by default "ALT+Z" hides items tooltips.What's the point of doing keys combination when a mispress can hit both the keys? Separate them for god's sake!!!

[random yarrow]

wont let buy buy anything in the shop, even the event cosmetic i click it and nothing happens

[storm blaze]

bug report

[sly fable]

Which thread do y'all think is the correct place to put feedback about the game guide. One article is pretty confusing, and I wanted to suggest an improvement

[faint cape]

Probably just the "other feedback" or the odd suggestions one

[surreal verge]

There is none. It’s a disadvantage most of the time.

[crystal jackal]

Isn’t it only splitting the base dmg? Which in this case is 1 base dmg each. Can’t you still choose to only scale 1 of them with no disadvantage?

[surreal verge]

Any adaptive flat you gain is also split. (Which in turn makes adaptive flat half effective if you're only scaling one)
Any pen you gain is "split" (Only applies to the related damage type)

[crystal jackal]

Yeah. Forgot about the adaptive implicit on weapons.
But part from that, you could e.g. decide to only scale fire. Use flat fire, elemental dmg over time, fire pen. And if you use a unique weapon with low adaptive implicit, you’ll only loose half of that implicit.
But if the split was cold/fire, you’d only lose the fire pen on one half

[azure siren]

so i was on the prophecy to kill void horrors for getting some creations, but somehow the ones spawned during beacon were not counted towards the kills. I got credit for killing 6 of them after killing monsters worth about 150k favors.

[surreal verge]

You could realistically also just choose a skill that doesn’t split your setup in half, depending on the class. Non-adaptive flat is also rare for non-melees.

[surreal verge]

Yup, those don’t count, don’t remember if it’s considered or bug or not.

[crystal jackal]

Hehe. Well yeah sure. You could also technically just chose to play charge spark mana stacking mage 😁

[winter pine]

How do you guys rush in the campaign?
Right now i feel its kinda tedious to use 4-6 hours going through everything before reaching monos?

[surreal verge]

Proper leveling uniques/legendaries, knowing what to skip and what not to skip.
Or just go to monoliths after getting your mastery, it unlocks at that point.

[winter pine]

Wouldent you be too low level to do monos?
And wouldent you miss out on a lot of skill points from quests?

[surreal verge]

Some builds can still do monoliths at that level.
You can level yourself up first so you can go grab the passive and idol slots from side quests faster.

[timid pike]

Which one is good for beginners?

[fallen mortar]

Would a Frost Claw/Ice Barrage focus build be better than a Glacier focused build? Im currently following a guide in which Frost Claw is the main focus, but Im wondering if I can just make it work with Glacier (in his build he goes Static Collapse on Glacier, so Im pretty sure he is not using Glacier for the raw dmg, but the Vortexes that he skilled).

[surreal verge]

There's a seperate Glacier focused build iirc.

[azure siren]

How do MG people get super rares like the red ring? Just paying a huge pump sum or getting insanely lucky?

[azure siren]

check out frozen's frost claw/static orb which is considered super op

[fallen mortar]

It's funny you say that, because Im actually watching the video rn lmao.

[timid pike]

Which one is good for beginners?

[azure siren]

i am thinking of playing beastmaster next because cookbook's scorpion build has a very detailed guide and is well supported here since cookbook is very active here on this discord.

[timid pike]

thank you

[timid pike]

where can i see his guide

[azure siren]

search it up on youtube

[surreal verge]

If you don't plan to follow a guide, any of them works.

[fallen mortar]

If I see that my passives aren't the ones I should use (I go over to another guide and they did it differently), is it better I respect as early as possible, or should I just keep it for now and do it later? For example in the Mage tree I have 8/8 in Elementalist for raw dmg, Im sure if I respec that now to have 8/8 Arcanist, I won't get as much value for that in the early leveling phase, or am I mistaken?

[surreal verge]

It's all built-dependant, honestly. There's probably a reason they take one thing over another.

[crystal jackal]

craft movement speed and just run past all mobs and dmg things as you go.
if something doesn't die, ignore it and keep going.

if you see your lvl is below the zone lvl, stop and kill elite packs when you see them, otherwise just keep running,

[winter pine]

Was hoping for Som diablo 2 kinda boost ;P. But it seems alot harder to do in this game. You always have to backtrack alot for the quest skill points

[crystal jackal]

what do you mean backtrack? I never have to do that

[exotic perch]

if i have more than 200% chance to shred armor on a dagger does that mean i always apply at least 2 stacks?

[surreal verge]

Yes.

[exotic perch]

alright thanks

[true grotto]

is worldsplitter bugged? it was working fine for my sentinel but now i started a bladedancer and i'm getting screenwide aoe with 0 cost skills lmao

i thought this applies to each skill seperately

it also scales my smoke bomb for some reason

like, this is what my flurry looks like rn

(sorry if this is the wrong chat, i can move it somehwere else if needed)

[buoyant condor]

sounds like bug report time

[true grotto]

update: i switched out my weapon and it kept the aoe, even when changing instances. only thing that stopped it was logging out

its even weirder than i first thought. after logging back in and equipping worldsplitter it went back to normal, but then the aoe just started growing i guess?

[true grotto]

i'll have to log off soon but i'll do a bug report when i get around to it 👍

[toxic echo]

last patch, no. last patch was just an engine upgrade.

all the patch notes are on the forums, you could check there

or, ingame, see if it works

[blazing lake]

How come spell damage isnt in any of the maxroll planners?

[surreal verge]

Errr, what? You mean % increased spell damage?

[blazing lake]

yeah, i was following a build and got the staff i needed and combined it with an exalt that matched stats. tried it out and lost so much damage from the yellow staff im using that it wasnt worth it. So i was combing through the planner and nowhere does it show increased spell damage stat. was wondering if im missing something because it would seem like theres no spell damage at all in the build.

[surreal verge]

That would depend on the build, so er, no link=no info to help

[blazing lake]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/planner/x68350oi#1 thats the build in question

[surreal verge]

What the hell is this build?

Plasma orb?

[blazing lake]

thats what i was under the impression of lol

[surreal verge]

You might get more info asking #🧙┃mage , I don't have a single clue tf this is lol, it's not using the usual plasma orb damage tricks that make it so you could skip some damage stats

[blazing lake]

fersure

[steel yarrow]

hello

[blazing lake]

can you post yours so i can compare,?

[steel yarrow]

is it advisable to leave MG to CoF?

[surreal verge]

Do you want to give up trading/don't want to trade anymore and having to reequip yourself if you bought stuff?

[surreal verge]

I don't have a recent Static orb build, my info is from 1.0 and some hearsay for 1.1

[steel yarrow]

ah hmmm think the part about re-equipping might be an issue haha

[blazing lake]

fersure

[steel yarrow]

also if you're in CoF, what's gold used for?

[surreal verge]

Lightless arbor.

[steel yarrow]

ohh? that's a dungeon, yes?

[surreal verge]

Yes

[steel yarrow]

ohh right at the end

[surreal verge]

You can throw milions at it for crafting mats/uniques

[steel yarrow]

u pay the door to get better loot

gotcha

[storm wren]

MG as the faction relevant to trading, prices always is the question be asked the most:

How many golds should I list & Do it overpriced/downpriced as xxxx golds I sell/spent.

It's better for let prices more clear and less chaos if a set of rules can come out like:

xxxx affix (in the lowest roll)
tier 1 = xxx golds
tier 2 = xxx golds
tier 3 = xxx golds
tier 4 = xxx golds
tier 5 = xxx golds
tier 6 = xxx golds
tier 7 = xxx golds

xxxx implicit (in the lowest roll) = xxxx golds

Then the value of a item is the total of these affixes + rolls on implicits.

Do it belong to feedback or suggestion?

[grand shoal]

That's not how pricing for such items works.
At best you can close the gap for uniques, but still that list would change all the time and still depend on the mode.(legacy/cycle, HC/SC)

Price lists usually don't work for rare/exalted equip

[storm wren]

Sorry, not sure what are you saying...

[grand shoal]

Don't worry, we have the same all the time with your posts 🥲

[faint cape]

There is no way to make pricing items that simple. Item value depends on a lot of things, but the main one you can't account for is popularity.

[surreal verge]

Your chart doesn’t take into account supply and demand, one of the core rules of a market.

[storm wren]

👍 Good reminders, thanks both of you

🤔 The core reason of it's hard to control is we don't know when a op build is out and why another builds don't become op or not popular

[storm wren]

It's very jank that you must stop to cast abilities... I understand why GGG choose move-and-attack way in poe 2 now

[cedar locust]

If that was from the Eterra Monthly post then those fixes are not in the game yet though should be for 1.2 😊

[tribal meadow]

The stop to cast is exactly how the click to move works, but it will feel so bad when doing WASD since your action (holding WASD direction) is ignored, maybe better let the character slide and moonwalk if the animations aren't ready

Btw doesn't the "I made a script for WASD movement" kinda feel like controller implementation in LE but on WASD instead of sticks? 😄

[dim pelican]

Is there a way to setup my second joystick to aim the way I am facing when moving on steam deck? I don’t have anyway to aim spells that I can figure out right now.

[steel yarrow]

as a fellow controller player, nope; LE isn't set up to be a twin stick

[toxic echo]

the devs are working on some better aiming/smarter aiming on a lot of skills for controller currently

[steel yarrow]

wow good to know!

[dim pelican]

Ok sounds good, I am using a minion build that is fine for now but I want to have stationary wraiths but it’s too hard to do well on controller.

[knotty vessel]

is there a source of reduced maximum mana?

[surreal verge]

I'm not sure why you would want something like that, but no. Best we got is a scepter unique that drains all your mana when it's full and converts it into ward.

[knotty vessel]

i mean like actual reduced maximum mana, not reducing your current mana to 0

to go from like 100 max to like 60 max

[surreal verge]

Yeah, there is none.

[knotty vessel]

sadge

[surreal verge]

What could have that been used for?

[knotty vessel]

for example the detonating arrow interaction where it drains % current mana, the lower i can get my base mana the more i can spam it

completely neglecting the damage bonus per mana cost

[surreal verge]

Since it's current % wouldn't your problem become DA's base mana cost anyway?

Which iirc is like 30~

[knotty vessel]

8 is the original base cost :)

[surreal verge]

Oh I forgor

I'm not sure where you can use a low cost low damage DA apart from Regin of Winter tendril DA

Since low damage=ailments also do low damage.

[knotty vessel]

so when you put it on explosive trap for example, reduce traps mana cost to 0 you start to gain mana from traps to offset the cost of DA with the gain +8 mana from the passive tree

but the problem comes with getting higher level

[surreal verge]

Ah but they would do jack all damage though

[knotty vessel]

since you just straight up gain max mana its hard to pull it off lol

well DA wouldnt benefit from trap triggers

we just completely for go any damage from traps and make it utility

[surreal verge]

Can't you just use mana arrow for that? Unless you need the explosions, which is technically the only non-damage reason to go through the mana node. (Which is just explosions area?)

Oh wait mana arrow is direct cast only

oops

Nevermind.

[knotty vessel]

ive really been trying to make DA just not complete shit, while making use of the aoe nodes

but it's difficult

[surreal verge]

Most decent DAs are either jelkhor damage stacking or as a proc-creator with tendrils.

Tendrils has a point tho, if you want AoE, Tendrils' node will give you a LOT of it.

Instead of just relying on the explosion.

[knotty vessel]

yeah i know, its just not what i want sadly. i was hoping for some cool nova's thats why im just experimenting with random stuff

[surreal verge]

You'll probably not find it in rogue, unless umbral explosions filling the whole screen counts.

[knotty vessel]

and with all the AoE nodes you'd think you can get to like a semi big pop, but its just so underwhelming lol

[faint cape]

To get a big pop you pretty much need to build into that one that lets you stack them all into one

The cooldown node might also be decently large, I don't remember

[knotty vessel]

according to the wording it would only work once

[faint cape]

This one

Not sure which you're looking at, but you use this and stack attack speed

the aiming on DA is a little janky so it can be hard to stack if there are many enemies around, but when it works it's neat

[azure siren]

So I have been playing on my falconer and if i aerial assault through wall into a shrine and then click on the shrine, it will port me right into the entrance door of the next floor in temporal sanctum. Anyone else encountering this? this happened a couple times at least

How do i report this bug

[barren moth]

In game bug reporter is always the best way for us 😄

[azure siren]

okie done!

[barren moth]

Thank you kindly!

[dim pelican]

How do I increase corruption? the next quest I have says I need to do it at 125 corruption but I don't know how to do that.

[toxic echo]

beat a shade of orobyss

[toxic echo]

there is a shrine in dungeons that open a portal the the exit of the floor

so...that might not actually be a bug

[dim pelican]

is that the altar of oblivion? Do I need to complete the quest in every area?

[toxic echo]

the wall thing prolly is...but the shrine might not be

[toxic echo]

dont think so...orobyss fights are called echo of a world, i believe

altar of oblivion is the quest thing for the pinnacle boss

but yea...everytime you want more corruption, you need to fight an orobyss shade

[dim pelican]

I'm still not sure where to find orobyss

[toxic echo]

in the echo webs

normally at the "end" of certain paths

he spawns pretty frequently

[dim pelican]

its just random spawn as one of the islands?

[toxic echo]

yea

[dim pelican]

ok, guess I just haven't seen one yet

[toxic echo]

look like this

[dim pelican]

ah yeah i have not seen that yet. I will just keep doing age of winter for the ring and amulet I need and maybe he will spawn

[median zenith]

keep pushing outwards from the central pilon and you'll eventually find one - gl on your quest, eterra's rooting for you! 🫡

[dim pelican]

Yup just found one, I had kinda been going in a circle around the center and not going strait out. 5 islands later there it is

I expect to get one shot and have to find another one soon 🙂

he ded

Oh I think i just did something I don't want, I saw another special island and now it wants to cleanse the corruption. I just don't do this right?

[azure siren]

which one is the easiest boss and harbinger combo?

[torn sierra]

Yeah you don't have to do that one. That island is always there at the start in case your corruption gets too high to manage

[azure siren]

farming eyes

[barren moth]

That depends on youy build, sir 😄

If you're ranged and can move freely, I would say the Abom harbinger is the easiest. Otherwise ymmv

[azure siren]

oh no no sir, that boss is just about right. not too hard or too easy, 😉

[faint cape]

Abom is definitely the easiest, though Heorot and EoC are also really easy.

[exotic perch]

is there any use to 4LP keepers gloves?

[candid elm]

4LP would basically copy whatever Exalted gloves you throw at them, so if you wanted to add Poison Resist and Bees every 8s on Melee Hit to your Exalted gloves. there aren't many builds using them though looking at LE Tools builds section https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/filter/language=en&item=UAw4JjI

[faint cape]

They make a god-tier leveling item, since the level req won't change when you craft it, but none of the end game "viable" bee builds use melee to really proc the bees

[exotic perch]

ah sadge

[faint cape]

Bee builds aren't exactly meta either way

[candid elm]

too bad! would be fun

[dim pelican]

are there any sets worth using or do most people just filter those out?

[faint cape]

There are a few sets that are viable, but there just aren't very many sets overall. If you're merchant's guild, I'd just filter them all out.

[azure siren]

so possibly it is not a bug. when i click on the shrine it opens up a portal that port me right to the door to the next floor - is this intended in a dungen?

[storm blaze]

That is one of the possible shrines in dungeons

[azure siren]

okay then it is not a bug. i didnt know that

[grand shoal]

Bees gud! Bees stronk! 🧸

[fallen mortar]

Does someone know when the Cosmetic Store is gonna get fixed? It's been days of me playing now and still nothing has changed. That's odd to me considering that should be the main way of monetization for Last Epoch besides the game itself.

[desert tree]

The bug is very new (and came with the Engine Upgrade) so I guess they need time to catch it, fix it, test the fix, then roll it
And since its Tuesday, it means out of the 5 days the bug was released 2 of them were the week end

[restive epoch]

Noob question here... if I put unqiue item into that Nemesis's egg but I die before I even clicked to challenge Nemesis (I got ganged by mobs, L)... is the item simply lost?

[storm blaze]

Think it should be there the next time you see the nemesis

[fallen mortar]

Does someone know why this Catalyst is hidden by rule 4, although rule 1 should definitely show it based on the affixes?

[desert tree]

Seems like R1 only shows COF items

[fallen mortar]

It seems like I don't quite get the way it works then. I know that the rule above another has priority over it, but even when I play around I seem to be shown items I definitely chose not to be shown and see items hidden I definitely chose to be shown, like the Catalyst. When I search for Loot Filters, everything is so specific, that Im afraid I will need to sit on it for hours to adjust them and when I search for general loot filters, I see a post from 2022, recommending a loot filter from 2020. Is there a more up to date loot filter that more casual players towards the endgame can use?

[surreal verge]

Because of the nature of affixes, even a general filter won't always help as most loot filters are meant to be made on a per-build basis.

[restive epoch]

Loot filters might look a bit overhelming, but once you get into it, it can help a loooot and its not really some rocket science either, surely some youtube videos are short and worth the few minutes

[last magnet]

look at the item on the ground, it has neither MG nor CoF tags

this is why it wont show up since youre only showing either MG or CoF tagged items with your filters

remove the CoF filter and it will show up

[thorn hemlock]

Is there server maintenance or something? Can’t login.

[cedar locust]

Nope, which server are you trying?

[rigid bobcat]

Hello, can you guys suggest me build/skill i'm gonna play solo&offline i don't like to change character, i useally start one character and play with it till the end, meta builds would be really good. i was thinking about playing multishot marksman. is it any good? I look at maxroll tier lists and they say it is A-tier in overall. I stay away from summoner builds even if they are op. thanks

[knotty vessel]

We have nihilis amulet for 20 reduced maximum mana I just realize

[surreal verge]

What? That's just mana regen. Not max mana.

[knotty vessel]

Oh I thought it counted for both nevermind mana regen and mana

Sad times

[grand shoal]

The maxroll guides are usually okish, but don't even look at their tierlists, imo the most disappointing content on maxroll as a whole

I'm not into Rogues yet, but from what I hear Marksman builds can rarely be called A tier by any measure, but better double check in #🔪┃rogue chat

You should be able to finish all content with all classes, but that is not what I personally would call "meta"

[rigid bobcat]

so marksman multishot is bad you mean that ?

[grand shoal]

Not said that. I said it is not even close to be meta from my view.

[rigid bobcat]

okey thanks since everyone playing poe2 right now it is hard to find what is good or not, or i'M just dump cannot find anything

[restive epoch]

Its for sure not bad, just not as good as some other builds I guess? Idk what exactly changed, but some marksman build with lightning arrow (?) used to be strong af... multishot is probably fine too

[grand shoal]

LE has a lot room between top builds and total BS

[rigid bobcat]

can you suggest me soemthing meta-ish?

[grand shoal]

The top end is probably anything with Falconer, torment Warlock and mana stacking sorcs.
But don't get me wrong, every class should have some 4 digit corruption builds that are really strong.

I would recommend to search for a playstyle you like first, and then dig for a build that fits that

[rigid bobcat]

kk thanks

[grand shoal]

If you like bow chars, probably ask around in #🔪┃rogue , we have some class experts in every class chat that can help you best with that given class

[knotty vessel]

All “more damage” within a skill tree is additive with each other? I’m not talking about things that affect the enemy or mechanically are a way of dealing more damage

[desert tree]

If it says "More Dmg" it's multiplicative

[knotty vessel]

For example within a single skill there is a node that gives 5 more damage and another node that gives 10 more damage the calculation would be 1 x 1.05 x 1.1 right

Lol the * bugs out the text but

Now it’s fixed

[cedar locust]

You can put a \ before anything that will alter text like a * to stop it from happening 🙂

[surreal verge]

Yes.

All "more" modifiers are multiplitive, no exceptions.

[knotty vessel]

And attackspeed/cast speed inside of a skill’s tree is additive right ?

[ripe brook]

Hi,
For the sentinel, what's the benefit in turning a physical damage into fire?
Does it offers a better scaling?

[toxic echo]

if you want to scale fire, yeah. or to synergize better with other fire skills, so you are only using one element. entirely depends on what build you are going for

[ripe brook]

I started a sentinel a few days ago, without a build guide.
I went for forge guard: warpath, lunge, rive, manifest armor, ring of shields.

So all those spells have the option to turn into fire.

And as I understand it, the benefit would be to turn bleeding into fire dot, and take advantage of that to scale the dps

lunge is for movement and self heal, warpath dps, rive dps and mana regen, manifest armor and ring of shield I don't find it so useful 🤔

Does LE forces you to have at least 2 damages types?

[surreal verge]

No, it's much better to run a single damage type, which is why damage type converts exist.

[ripe brook]

Understood, thanks! 👍

[desert tree]

If it says "Increased As/CS" it's additive with other sources of Increase As/CS
If it says "More As/CS" it's multiplicative

[knotty vessel]

Is physical pen with bleed and generic physical pen additive for bleed, it should be right? I forgot how they changed everything since they removed bleed effect

Well multiplicative for bleed damage but additive with eachother

[desert tree]

Correct, its the same bucket (penetration)

[ripe brook]

BTW, I was quite surprised, because I looted a good unique sword early in the game and this one seems to be fine at lvl 70+.
Can a low level requirement item still be worth in late game?

[desert tree]

Yes, thx to the LP system

[ripe brook]

LP system?

I think it is quite cool to have the item scaling with your character automatically

[surreal verge]

It's not item scaling, it's simply "Look, you can throw up to 4 more affixes on it"

(And the fact that uniques are actually unique, most of the time.)

[ripe brook]

I can't improve uniques right?

[surreal verge]

Not their rolls, but...
https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/legendary_items

[ripe brook]

Aaaaaaaaah!

Thanks!

[uncut wren]

Anyone know if work on Steamdeck has gone forward I know there was talk of getting the game fully steamdeck compatible but it was pushed back. as it stands, once you reach a bit too far into the campaign the game becomes unplayable on Deck

[toxic echo]

its always being worked on, it hasnt hit full fledged verification.

[ripe brook]

I play on Linux, and it works pretty well. The only issue I'm aware is that the game slows over time, so it is maybe some resource leak.

I worked it around by having the lowest graphics, so it takes more time to slow down.

[restive epoch]

On Win10 I have similar issue, after X hours whenever I open stash it takes quite some time to load... simply restarting the game solves it, but idk, feels weird... my RAM should be fine, I always have discord running and Firefox with a lot of tabs opened, but nowhere else Im having such issue

[ripe brook]

It is probably a known issue, unless the devs have such powerful machines that they don't notice 😉

Mine is 10 years old.

[steel yarrow]

is it possible for sealed affix to be added using LP?

[desert tree]

No

[restive epoch]

nope, sealed affixes wont count for LP

[steel yarrow]

bummer

it's a T6 sealed too

alrighty thanks for the answer!

[desert tree]

You wont get 3 prefixes or 3 suffixes

[restive epoch]

Or maybe I just have too much crap in my stash 😄 I dont think Ive had issue like that before and it only lags when I open stash... porting from map to map takes about blink of an eye and other games are pretty much fine, even PoE2 (If I dont count longer loading screens but that is what it is)

[toxic echo]

Stash thing is known about.

[strong thistle]

I'm looking for the node that consumes all ignite stacks and deals burst damage

Or am I thinking of a different game

[surreal verge]

Enchant Weapon, has a node that does that on active

[strong thistle]

That's the one I needed thankyou

[urban ice]

Anyone else getting "Online Play Unavailable" when logging into an online character? I get that 2 or 3 times before it lets me log in, sometimes more.

[hidden trellis]

Could you verify the integrity of your game files for me?

[urban ice]

Just got back, can do. 🫡 There's also a 12MB update for the game now as well compared to this morning. Maybe that'll help.

Integrity check was good, no files reacquired. I also submitted it as a bug report in game. Was wondering if it was only a me problem.

No luck, still getting the error. 🤔

[hidden trellis]

Are you using a VPN by chance?

[urban ice]

I am not.

This time it let me in after 2 tries. Once I'm in, I'm good. Haven't had any disconnects mid play.

[hidden trellis]

Yeah, that's very weird. Thank you for submitting the bug report

There might be some more we could troubleshoot if it didn't let you in at all, however if it lets you in eventually I'm not sure what could be causing the issue

[urban ice]

Agreed, it's a minor inconvenience.

[hexed bolt]

why are the abilities of lagon going through profane veil and are undodgeable, but all other boss abilities are dodgeable?

[twin oak]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/npc/LagonBossMonolith

His moon blast attack cannot be dodged

[hexed bolt]

is the blast the aoe or the beam?

but yeah nvm i see the beam doesnt count as hit so it counts as dot...

[twin oak]

I don't know, it looks like a part is a hit and another is not
From the previous link, because there are two moon beams and they are listed as a combo

[twin oak]

Moon circle

[hexed bolt]

yeah there are 2 beams in the link, but i think the lower beam is the beam where he shots 1 time and not where he i "breathing". the upper one has a longer duration

[twin oak]

It looks like the top one is the pursuing beam because of the 6s duration, that one is not a hit

[hexed bolt]

yeah i think so too, thansk for the link

[swift sapphire]

+6 corruption? how much time does it take to get to 300? a year?

[desert tree]

Further you go more you get

[toxic echo]

You also get more for gaze of orobyss

4-5 fights at max range and gaze, ez

[desert tree]

Also killing a monolith boss gives you a Gaze, when you kill a Shade you consume up to 4 Gazes and get 12 per Gaze

[sonic saddle]

also if you're doing a timeline that has corruption a bit below your highest corruption you'll get bonus corruption and an orobyss node will immediately spawn as soon as you do an echo in it

[steel yarrow]

is it better to go further out from center to raise corruption or just raise it and we'll get bigger increases in higher corruption?

[toxic echo]

Further out with gazes from timeline boss for premier corr raising

[tranquil obsidian]

is it normal to have affixes both with name "armor" and "armour" (loot filter checkboxes)? should it be reported?

[toxic echo]

Yeah. Happens with a global company, using different forms of english

Its not a big deal, they both do the same thing

Supposed to be workin on it

[tranquil obsidian]

no it's just that it makes the search of the affix unrealiable

[reef zenith]

a lil help here?

[magic temple]

I'm going crazy, what does "Increased Mana" not show up as an option to craft here?

I have 29 of the shards and it says it can be applied to body armor and helm:

[torn sierra]

%increased mana isn't useable by Mages, only Sentinels and Rogues

[magic temple]

Gotcha yeah just saw the restriction on LE tools. Would be super nice if that was communicated in game someway

[toxic echo]

It is..by not showing up when you are crafting it tells you its not allowed.

[magic temple]

Perhaps my verbage there should be "communicated better". It not showing up could be a number of things:

1. Do I not have the shards?
2. Am I picking the wrong slot (prefix/suffix)?
3. Is it a UI bug?

The disconnect is when I search it in the crafting UI it doesn't show up, but when I search in the general UI I can see it. Nothing there implies the specific problem is "This only shows up for other classes"

In fact there is a UI section for "Cannot be applied" where it doesn't show up. I would expect it to show up there as it's a shard I have that cannot be applied due to my class. The fact it didn't show up there to me implied it was a UI issue (until I did a bit more research).

It would be a bit more readable if the shard tooltip explicitly said "Only class X/Y", otherwise there is no way to tell outside of me creating 6 characters and testing 1 by 1 which classes I can apply the shard to.

I did a mockup and will provide it in the appropriate channel as official feedback, I can foresee other players running into the same issue.

[wanton shale]

For VK Warpath, would going a 2 hander Dreamthorn or the 3set Forgotten Knight be best? I'm using the FK amulet either way, and this is until i get maw.

[surreal verge]

Wouldn't you be using Apathy's Maw?

[wanton shale]

wondering until i get maw

[surreal verge]

Ah

[wanton shale]

im just working on the principal sets suck so go Dreamthorn. Both options seem to do alright anyway, off to grind the maw

[faint cape]

Search "armo", closest we can do for now

[desert tree]

Dw is more dmg

[lavish dew]

Is there any way to get base crit for Bone golem aside from Phantom grip and Dread shade's autocrit?

[surreal verge]

No other way.

[lavish dew]

Ugh its pretty impossible to cap crit even with dual max roll Phantom grips and all passives/gear affixes and idols

This is why dread shade feels so mandatory on Necro if they could just buff other sources of minion crit...

[surreal verge]

Dread Shade giving 100% crit is only half of the reason. It's also because it's an easy source of attack/cast speed.

[lavish dew]

And huge flat damage, I solved the speed/flat damage but crit is just impossible to make up.

[surreal verge]

In a single minion build dread shade is uncontested yeah, so is infernal shade tbh.

[lavish dew]

I'm doing multi-minion but capping crit is pain

[swift sapphire]

i have a lvl 90 warlock with the build all bought at the MG baazar but the market is dead and i cant upgrade my build anymore (or very little) now im at 200ish corr and im starting to feel slow and wanted to change to CoF, should i restart a brand new char on CoF or should i just change faction and restart gearing from normal monos? thanks

[desert tree]

You can swap faction. You will start from lvl 0 and no favor. Also MG gear won't be equipable anymore. So you might have to gamble a bit

You might have to go to a timeline where you have 100c (or lower one) so you can gear up a bit

Before going back to the content you are doing now

[swift sapphire]

my torment warlock is unique heavy though, really dont know what to do

[desert tree]

Do you have lot of rune of Ascendance?

[swift sapphire]

if i gamble my fgavor at the npc baazar i can wear that gear also in cof?

maybe 30ish

[desert tree]

You could RoA the really mandatory pieces

[desert tree]

Favor doesn't transfer, and I don't think you can equip gear from the MG Gambler

[swift sapphire]

where should i gamble the gear?

just with roa?

[desert tree]

If there is mandatory unique I would RoA them

[edgy sphinx]

May the odds be ever in your favor

[tranquil obsidian]

question: if a prophecy requires a specific dungeon/arena tier, if i complete the same dungon arena on higher tier, do i fullfill the prophecy requirement anyway?

[storm blaze]

yes

[faint cape]

Also Logi's hunger (unique amulet)

[echo wraith]

is the server down?having trouble logging in

[cedar locust]

Not to my knowledge, which server are you trying?

[echo wraith]

Se asia, but all good now, no idea why i had some issue loging in just now

[cedar locust]

Glad that you're in though I'll let the team know you and a few others are having very short lived issues logging in! Let me know if anything changes!

[strong thistle]

Spell Damage has zero effect on DoTs right?

[toxic echo]

depends on the dot

some dots have the spell tag

[strong thistle]

Ignite and frostbite I'm mainly concerned with

[toxic echo]

then no

[knotty vessel]

Do rogues shadows also make use of the damage buff you get from shift?

[surreal verge]

No, they're technically indirect casts.

[knotty vessel]

This is a probable no, but do the ailments inflicted by spirit plague also spread with spirit plague ?

[surreal verge]

No, but will apply a 'new set' instead.
Eg: If spirit plague is specced to apply bleed on debuff, the spreaded spirit plague will apply a new set of bleed on the spreaded target.

[soft storm]

Are T7 experimental affixes as rare as L4? I’ve been hard farming mages for days at ~370 corruption, lvl12 CoF and I don’t think I’ve seen an exp affix over T5 drop yet.
Is there some restriction or trick to them dropping?

[knotty vessel]

No, and they do drop because I have several

[lavish dew]

Good catch though that's only for Fire golem

[tranquil obsidian]

lol was quite shocked last day when i discovered that experimental affixes can be slammed. The only restrictions on the cache is the unique level/dungeon tier and no sealed affixes

[faint cape]

The crit is generic like phantom grip, but yeah you can only benefit from the +2 levels with the fire tag

Which is not really a big loss, considering the amulet base is good (compared to losing the ring slot, which you'd normally get crit multi on)

[faint cape]

It also can't combine items with incompatible requirements, like items for different factions or classes

[novel sundial]

I have doubts whether it was a good price. What do you think?

There was no other on market and i guessed xD

[red ember]

Is this ever gonna get fixed?

[novel sundial]

Im dealing with this too, reset game or w8

[cedar locust]

The bug keeps coming back like the Acolyte summons Skeletons 🥲 Please submit an in game bug report !

[red ember]

is F8 SUpposed to be the report bug? cause even thats bugged to not work 😆

submitted a bug report for both

[faint cape]

That is actually an upcoming feature for 1.2, the keybind slipped in with the engine update 😅

[red ember]

hWelp

And yes, it's definitely in the game's keybind page

[twin ledge]

how to fix this problem

[cedar locust]

Which server are you trying to play on?

[twin ledge]

Asia SE

[cedar locust]

Try Asia NE and see if that loads. You can then try swapping back to Asia SE when in game from the Settings menu

[twin ledge]

It work thank you so much

[cedar locust]

Glad to hear it! Would you mind submitting an In Game Bug Report for me? Just so our team can look in to this 😊 You can put my name 'Averielle' in the report so it's easier for us to find!

[twin ledge]

sure

[lavish dew]

Oh you're right, I missed that its generic minion crit since I only used it on my fire smite build. I don't think it can replace 2x phantom grips but might help reach 100% crit.

[mystic karma]

Does Red Ring of Atlaria's 180 total attribute count the attributes added by the ring itself? Or do you need 180 before you put the ring on?

[desert tree]

It count the ones from the ring

[knotty vessel]

can triggers, trigger ?

i mean as a seperate effect, not proc itself again

[toxic echo]

Depends on wording, but it is possible

[knotty vessel]

so it depends on if it reads like "you use" vs directly cast or attack ?

[ashen rapids]

hi, can someone recommend fast tanky and easy to gear build with guide ?

[faint cape]

Something like that yeah, both of those are generally the same

[surreal verge]

If it doesn't read "You use" or "Directly cast/use", then yes.
Example: Chthonic Fissure can trigger Chaos Bolt, and then Chaos Bolt can trigger Rip Blood & Bone Curse.

[knotty vessel]

for example chance on melee hit would be fine then right

[surreal verge]

Yes.

[knotty vessel]

general consensus is that dancing strikes just sucks right?

[surreal verge]

Only good for ultility. There's some decent nodes like less dot damage taken.

[knotty vessel]

yeah i figured, its such a cool skill but i cant believe its just this bad lol xd

[surreal verge]

Did you know attack speed doesn't do anything for dancing strikes' speed, and converts it to damage? It relies on cooldown reduction instead for 'attack speed'.

[desert tree]

It gives you More Dmg

[surreal verge]

Oh right.

[icy aspen]

hello everyone, i have some issues... just installed the game after some time off, my game runs even on very low settings on like 10FPS or even less even in the login screen, even though i have much better PC than i had last time i played, anyone know how to fix it?

[slate wagon]

PC Specs

Also have you checked your settings

[icy aspen]

Ryzen 5 5600X, RTX 4070 Super, 32GB RAM

yes, doesn't matter which settings i put, even on very low

[slate wagon]

could be hardware or gpu malfunction. But I cant tell without actually checking it

Power supply etc

[icy aspen]

it's the only game that does that, all other work fine

[slate wagon]

interesting

Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling

Have you updated your drivers both cpu and gpu

[icy aspen]

will have to try that, all drivers are up to date, will report back when i reinstall

[crystal jackal]

how do I change which tab will open when i open the stash?

[toxic echo]

You dont

Yes its annoying

[crystal jackal]

then does it change by itself?

[toxic echo]

It doesnt remember anything

[crystal jackal]

it must remember somethning, because it keeps opening the same wrong tab every time

[surreal verge]

My exprience with the stash is 'Always opens the very first tab you made, even if it's been moved and changed to hell and back'

[toxic echo]

Ya w.e stash tab 1 is

[surreal verge]

whatever is stash#1 in the underlying code

[crystal jackal]

it changes, sometime when it laggs, it starts opening another tab

[surreal verge]

I never experience it opening a different tab, for me it has always been consistent.

[crystal jackal]

then after a while it resets

happend like 3 times just today in the last 3 hours

[crystal jackal]

and now it reset again

[slate wagon]

Are there actual guilds being made for last epoch? Is this the best discord server for this game? I cant seem to find other discords or communities with more interaction.

[toxic echo]

There is no guild system in game currently. There are other servers in #💽┃server-share but ya...likely just the main one keeps up activity thru the downtime

[steel yarrow]

I just saw in reddit u/Stimpy_the_man mentioned you could add "-force -d3d11" to force the game to use direct x11 instead of the default dx12, worth a try it might help

[shrewd sentinel]

if you wiggle the tab by clicking on it and dragging it in a small circle and releasing back in place, that should set that as the memory tab next time you open your stash. i believe it resets upon relog though.

[gusty crown]

Hi all. Hope I'm alone in this but I just just tried to boot up the game, in online mode to be clear, and now I'm getting an issue where it simply doesn't start anymore. A small box that has unity in it pops up sometimes but after reaching the Last epoch initial game screen it simply either shuts off or has that little box for a few seconds before shutting off. Dunno is this is me having some issue thing or something that's known to happen so figured Id ask here first. Also just dont know where to post 'Failure to start' as an issue in the bug report forums so any ideas on that would also be helpful XD

[desert tree]

I had that a couple days ago

What I did

1. Reboot
2. Verify Games Files
3. Update Graphic Cards Drivers

And after that it worked

[gusty crown]

Appreciate it. Onto step two now

[desert tree]

I hope it fixes it for you too

[gusty crown]

Took a bit to get it all done with my box of potatoes but it worked! Thanks again.

[midnight basin]

May have found a potential bug if anyones got a second to help me confirm that im just stupid.

[desert tree]

If you are still here, shoot

[desert tree]

Glad it worked

[midnight basin]

I alt clicked and swapped a staff with my main hand and shield while in a shop and my mainhand dissapeared

shield unequipped but the mainhand just totally gone

[surreal verge]

It most likely went into your cursor and then dropped onto the floor because you didn’t realize-

[midnight basin]

it for sure didnt I double checked, also made sure it hadnt sold into the shop either

wasnt in the bank or ground, not on cursor. damn thing just disappeared

[swift sapphire]

hi guys, can someone link the patchnotes where they nerfed wraithlord harbour build? thanks

i want to see if they completly killed him or if its still viable

[surreal verge]

It’s still top meta for necromancer.

[swift sapphire]

o good

building it today

[swift sapphire]

o well i thought worse

ah that +3 at the place of +10 is rough though

[surreal verge]

Doesn't really matter when the buff can still stack endlessly.

[true grotto]

Something similar happened to me recently, ended up finding the item in my forge after a while

[icy aspen]

reinstall didn't fix the things but i forced windows update and now works fine, of course windows decided to make problems, like most of the time 🤣

[cedar locust]

Offline mode by any chance?

[cedar locust]

If you use a loot filter always make sure to disable it just in case the item was dropped and it's being hidden. You should also check your Forge and Gifting tabs

[fallen mortar]

Is there a certain unique item that is important or even mandatory for a Frostclaw Sorcerer build?

[cedar locust]

From a quick scan of this Build List - https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/filter/skill=frost_claw&mastery=sorcerer&language=en - there is some overlap but nothing that stands out

[crystal jackal]

This is in online mode. Like online online

[cedar locust]

Ah okie dokes, most reports we see are in Offline but not True Offline for this Stash bug. Have you submitted any In Game Bug Reports? I can find those 🙂

[rancid heath]

@cedar locustThose are the 2 bodies

[cedar locust]

Personally I'm a fan of Kestrel IF I don't have a good all rounder to replace it, especially as it can drop very early in game.

However, that other armour has 2 affixes that improve Skills AND can be upgraded. If there is anything you'd miss by removing Kestrel, see if you can replace it elsewhere via crafting or swapping another piece of gear.

[rancid heath]

the necrotic res i would be out of

[cedar locust]

That's a place to start then, see if you can craft necrotic res on the armour or see if you can get it on something else! It's worth knowing that certain Stats have a cap - Resistances being the main one, they cap out at 75% so in 99% of cases it's not worth having more than that. There are others too but I can't remember them off the top of my head - @toxic echo calling in the cavalry 😅

[rancid heath]

Should i put these 2 together?

[rancid heath]

or its not worth it?

since lp1

[crystal jackal]

Nope. Can do it next time I play. I’m sure it will happen again.

[cedar locust]

Thank you! The data we get from those can help a lot!

[cedar locust]

You can't choose what affix you get when you slam, so unless all of the ones on the Odachi are useful I'd say wait. You can be a bit more free with slamming if you have multiple Dreamthorns with LP, and if you have Dreamthorns with 0LP you can always Egg them.

[rancid heath]

i only have this dreamthorn ;D

my first and only one

[cedar locust]

Slamming always has the 'risk' of ending up with an affix you didn't want, so it's best to do with an exalted you'd happy to get any affix from

[rancid heath]

im kinda happy if i get one of the two mods

[dim pelican]

If I only have 1 LP should I try and get an item down to just the T6/7 stat before slamming?

[storm blaze]

You can't slam with an item that doesn't have 4 unsealed affixes

Would take away the risk from it

[rancid heath]

i have risked it ;D

[dim pelican]

is there a way to dodge flame scars? That ability from the exiled mages kills me every time and I can't seem to see how I am supposed to know its coming

[rancid heath]

@toxic echo is this any good?

[toxic echo]

if you are trying to proc lots of spells, it can be

from your weapon tho, think you are more weapon hit based

[rancid heath]

yeah im warpath vk

[fringe oak]

Even at 220 corruption I seem to be getting the same 4 or 5 trash uniques when they drop. When do the better items start dropping more regularly?

[surreal verge]

RNG, sadly. Rarity cap for uniques are at 1k corruption, and the effect isn't that big.

[toxic echo]

its all the same rng chance. example aarons will is a 75% reroll chance. that never changes.

it just makes you find more uniques (at a very small increase). so you get more chances at hitting the reroll chance

but it doesnt specifically change the drop rate

and for what its worth, 220 is fairly low corruption

[fringe oak]

Wow, ok thanks, kind of boring. I'm not sure what I'm grinding for at this point in the game

[surreal verge]

Exalteds mostly.

[fringe oak]

I think it might just be time to roll a new char or play something else - thanks for the help all

[cosmic phoenix]

I've gotten super confused about which affixes I should be working for. I am doing a Spellblade focused on critical hits with shatter strike. It has melee cold scaling off of dex, so I assume any affixes that scale with cold damage or melee cold damage are good. However, there are so many types of modifiers that my head is spinning.

I have 100% crit chance. What is going to help me most?
-flat melee cold damage?
-crit multiplier?
-Cold damage multiplier?
-melee cold damage multiplier?
-armor shred?
-Cold penetration?
-something i don't even know about?

I honestly probably am not good enough at math to figure out what armor shred and cold penetration are even doing

[cosmic phoenix]

I have actually glanced at that one. I am doing a hardcore run though and i'm afraid of the squishiness.

My problem though is not really understanding the numbers

[twin oak]

yeah that build is paper

[cosmic phoenix]

I looked it up specifically because bloody nib is so cute

and that led me down this rabbit hole of crit damage

[twin oak]

do you know how multipliers work in general in this game?

increased and more

[cosmic phoenix]

I think i probably need a good guide for it. I've got the gist of it on a basic level, but then when I start getting into crit mult vs cold mult vs armor shred vs cold pen I just don't have a clue what's doing what

[twin oak]

in general it is a matter of giving priority to the affixes for more damage instead of increased,
if you use Mourningfrost you will get 1 flat per point of dexterity, so that should be your priority

[slow eagle]

in short its

(Base + Added 1 + Added 2... ) * (Increased 1 + Increased 2...) * (More 1) * (More 2) *...

typically once a build has around 500% increased I then only focus on getting more flat dmg and more more modifiers

side note: different skills have different added damage effectiveness, so something like meteor on sorc has like 800% added damage effectiveness, so every point of flat dmg is actually 8 dmg

[cosmic phoenix]

wait, what's a more modifier

oh no

[slow eagle]

crit multi, things that litterally just say do x% more dmg

[surreal verge]

Oh, you're in for a ride

[slow eagle]

crit multi is equal to more dmg if you have 100% crit chance

[surreal verge]

And most damage nodes in skill specs are more modifiers.

[slow eagle]

^

[surreal verge]

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

[surreal verge]

You're also missing cold resistance shred in that list.

(also, spellblade can crit cap?)

[slow eagle]

everyone can cap crit, given spellblade likes using 2 onehanded swords you can get flat melee crit on both

[surreal verge]

Ah right, spellblade can dual wield swords, so that makes it easy

[twin oak]

• flat melee cold damage -> you already have a lot from Mourningfrost, so give priority to attack speed or crit multi because they are the highest more affixes
• crit multiplier -> more
• Cold damage multiplier -> I guess this is increased cold damage, then increased
• melee cold damage multiplier -> I don't know which modifier this is
• armor shred? -> more but only 70% effective for cold
• Cold penetration? -> more

[cosmic phoenix]

spellblade has 2 nodes that give crit chance scaling off of dex and int

alright, now we're cooking

[slow eagle]

also for a visual example, this node from erasing strike is a more damage node

[cosmic phoenix]

alright, this is a huge help guys, thanks

[slow eagle]

no problemo

also never forget, hit G for the ingame game guide

its very helpful (even for me as I forget formulas/wording a lot

[twin oak]

also for armor shred have a look at https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/armor
just so you know when it starts to fall off

and because you are playing hardcore be sure to understand https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ehp

[slow eagle]

oh yeah ehp and max hit is very important for hardcore (and softcore)

make sure your crit avoidance/reduced bonus dmg taken from crit is capped

[cosmic phoenix]

anything over 100 crit avoidance means all crits are downgraded?

yeah, this ehp calculator is nice

[slate wagon]

Good morning

[surreal verge]

Yup, they're all normal hits instead.

[slow eagle]

yes 100% of either does that, you don't need both

[dim pelican]

is there a way to see my prophecies without going back to the city?

[twin oak]

y

[slow eagle]

hit Y @dim pelican

[surreal verge]

Faction screen, there's a tab made for it.

[dim pelican]

thanks!

[supple linden]

What are some builds that are more involved to play. Not really a fan of the simple one button ish builds. Looking for something that has interesting set up and comboing.

I found runemaster itched that scratch some just wondering if there are any others I have glossed over.

[midnight basin]

Most druid shape-shifting builds are more involved, shatter strike i believe is as well since it's a builder spender build charges and strike to spend for big damage

[supple linden]

For sure I have enjoyed druid ill have to check out shatter strike

haven't really played much spellblade

[desert tree]

Scorpion BM

[surreal verge]

Probably blademaster?

[strong thistle]

🕺

[supple linden]

i guess i have need to give it a try.

[tranquil obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/wow-gif-20411229

Sooo don't be like me
120 hour played and never realized that
It's better to have item short names on the ground
Affix tiers can be always enabled instead of manually always check the item with CTRL+ALT

[pearl token]

i like having affix names cause i can often know why it's showing up without having to mouseover

long names aren't an issue unless your filter is very permissive imo

[tranquil obsidian]

i can't remember the good affix name anyway... normally it will be a problem when lizard do a double recursive summon

[pearl token]

ah yes i can see that

good tip for sure!

[faint cape]

I use colors for that

[flint citrus]

Yeah, I have a couple filters set to explicitly show and recolor +Life, +Life and +% Life, and. . . I think +Armor and +Armor and +% Crit Resistance?

I think that's the combined mod for armor - hard to recall without the game open

[solar monolith]

Hello friends, have the developers added automatic pick up of craft shards?

[toxic echo]

no

they do still vaccuum, and they did tease them going straight to storage, instead of inventory in 1.2

[solar monolith]

I hope they will come to autopickup sooner or later. Thank you

[dim pelican]

Do i have to beat the monolith boss to choose a different blessing? Or is there somewhere I can change them at any time?

[toxic echo]

you have to beat the boss to find new blessings.

if you have found one already, there is an npc to switch them

entrance to monoliths in end of time

[dim pelican]

ok, ill find him then. want to swap a piece in but lose a lot of void res

[steel yarrow]

TIL tq

[toxic echo]

Green is stats you are getting with the item. Red is what you are losing

[drowsy jungle]

Damn, those green line is counted in?

I thought it was the roll of an item

Any chances they are all green

[toxic echo]

Green is what stats you are gaining when you equip this item

Technically yea...if everyaffix is the same and a better roll

[drowsy jungle]

Thank you, i was confused

[toxic echo]

Likely not gonna happen often tho

[drowsy jungle]

Thank a lot

[lunar cairn]

I thought you couldn't mirror uniques?

[delicate mango]

does anyone know how to search for t7 affix exalt items in your stash?

[icy drift]

Duplicated from a prophecy or lightless arbour

[surreal verge]

Yeah, lightless' chest duplicate counts as a mirror as well.

[sonic saddle]

Pretty sure the flipped image didn't get retroactively applied to 1.0 prophecy mirrored uniques tho

So it'd just be an LA mirrored unique

[cosmic phoenix]

what affects the forging potential of an item that drops?

[surreal verge]

RNG, and it's rarity.

[faint cape]

Area level also

[swift sapphire]

guys whats the best method to level an alt? i wanted to make one but dont want to take too much time again in campaign, i saw the 3 dungeon skip but that is not good cause you have to backtrack like crazy for passive points and idol slots

i want him asap in monos

[rain river]

you can do the fist dungeon and third dungeon, skip the second and have almost no backtracking, twink the alt with legendary gear as the low level uniques can get high LP and slamming them does not change their level requirement

[restive epoch]

Big movement speed stuff ftw

[rain river]

yeah, stack movement speed where you can

[surreal verge]

You can access monoliths as soon as you choose your mastery.
No escaping passive/idol slot side quests

[steel yarrow]

if u zoom thru the campaign it really doesn't take too much time tho

[swift sapphire]

isnt act 1-9 like 10 ish hours

[surreal verge]

Someone with leveling equipment can clear it in 3-5 hours assuming basic alt skip knowledge.

[swift sapphire]

cause i was going to level a lich but i think its quite tedious

ill try to see what i see on yt

thanks everyone

is there some channel that is used to level for level?

like i boost one of your alts and you boost mine?

[surreal verge]

It only helps leveling and it would kinda be as fast as doing it yourself if you have the skills to.

[restive epoch]

If you have the gear and good idea what skills to take, I think just going through the campign goes quite fast without doing any speed runs

[swift sapphire]

no im completely new to lich in general

0 knowledge

[rain river]

well you probably have a lot of generic affix shards if nothing else that will make it easier as long as you craft your gear, add ms to boots relevent resists for each act, add necrotic damage to gear etc

[swift sapphire]

im reading that the best skip is to do acts 1 to 5, than at abode skip to the dungeon and only do act nine

[restive epoch]

Might try asking in #💀┃acolyte for some lvling tips for Acolyte... I think I was lvling mine with poison wandering spirits and spirit plague? It was quite smooth and fast enough, but maybe there are better stuff, idk

[rain river]

that's probably best for you since you are playing lich blind, the added advantage of only using the temporal dungeon skip and not the two others is no backtracking necessary and it saves you from being too underleveled if you don't have enough gear prepared already

when you get to the Julra dungeon you could hop over to monoliths to do some echos before heading back and completing it to finish the campaign that way if necessary, I think the first monolith is a little easier than the dungeon personally

[swift sapphire]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/build-guides/welcome-to-the-naughty-list---crit-stygian-coal-lich i was going to do this build and i have all the gear ready, if not all i will buy the most from baazar since its very cheap (of course not the ones requiring a too high level) i think i will stick to the 1 through 5, putting high movespeed and if available some teleportation skills

all the gear is low level requirment except ukheiros

[tranquil obsidian]

one of my biggest gripes with the stash, You can't.
the only solution is keeping the stash ordered. It's not even an option in the tab priority

[swift sapphire]

nice, found a video with a step by step to endgame in 2 hours

[strong thistle]

Can you link it?

[fringe oak]

Will a Rune of Ascendance drop a rare usually only dropped from certain bosses?

[toxic echo]

it is one of the rarer runes to drop. it doesnt just drop from bosses, tho they likely have a better chance. another good source of them are actually the runemaster caches

[surreal verge]

Rune of Ascendance cannot create boss uniques, only random drop uniques.

[fringe oak]

Thanks, that's what I was wondering.

[cosmic phoenix]

what is effective level for legendary potential?

like, how do i maximize my chances of getting legendary potential while farming an item?

[surreal verge]

Area level and corruption.
Basically, be at area level 100 (Empowered monoliths), and be as high of a corruption as possible, but it soft caps at 1k corruption. And corruption honestly only improves it very slightly.

[cosmic phoenix]

what if it is an item that doesn't come from monolith?

so specifically i'm interested in Foot of the Mountain from the Lightless Arbor

do i just run it a bazillion times and hope for the best?

[restive epoch]

Pretty much? 🤔

[surreal verge]

Run at the highest tier possible (Which ties to area level), and pray.

[cosmic phoenix]

If your endurance threshold goes above your max health, what happens?

[surreal verge]

You always have endurance active. Nothing happens if you overcap.

[cosmic phoenix]

if you are capped does it apply while you have ward up or only when the ward drops?

sorry for so many questions, i was struggling to find this information on the internet

[surreal verge]

Endurance never covers ward, only health.

[cosmic phoenix]

Okay, thank you!

[slow eagle]

hey stop climbing on the walls!

[rancid heath]

nein

[rancid heath]

walls are my frens

[subtle frost]

i'm following a maxroll levelling guide (POE and diablo player so have a vague understanding of ARPGs as a whole), and i'm really confused as to why they take 2 nodes which i'll screenshot below

Why do they take the node that disables returns, but then a node that gives you 3 blades on 3rd attack before recall

[surreal verge]

A proper Shadow Dagger Umbral Blade setup would have too many points with nothing to spend, so there's like 2 dead points. Though I don't see the cold convert so it's probably not the usual reason.

[subtle frost]

yeah the next points they spec are steel torrent and loathing

i had presumed i'd get the 3 blades regardless and that was why, but that doesn't seem to be the case

[surreal verge]

No, Sword Thrower hard caps it at 1.

[subtle frost]

maxroll are normally good about these things so i'm trying to figure out why they're having me spec it at all xd

[faint cape]

It counts as another unique ability and is another free attack in your combo (only the first throw in the combo costs mana)

[subtle frost]

oh i didn't know the mana cost was only on initial cast

that makes more sense

[surreal verge]

If it's an SD build you normally wouldn't manually cast it so that's definately a niche usage.

[subtle frost]

i think its umbral into synchronized strike as you get higher

just a levelling build so i'm not overly fussed, everything is super squishy anyway

[faint cape]

Maybe since it's a leveling guide, it's expecting more direct casting and less optimized gear so mana issues could be more possible

oh yeah, if it's a sync -> umbral style of SD build you'll hit mana issues very easily

and if you're not a falconer, I think that's still the best way to roll SD

[subtle frost]

yeah bladedancer

i want to build SD when i hit endgame

[faint cape]

SD is very friendly to early game as well

[subtle frost]

i didn't put much thought into which build i'm going, i play quite a lot of ARPGs in general so i'm likely to build multiple characters anyway

depends how good the d4 season is

xD

[crystal jackal]

is there any way to force a reload of your character on lastepochtools?

[faint cape]

It automatically reloads when you view it, it's just rate-limited

you can always use the import function on the planner to pull a snapshot for that, but idk if there's any way to manually update the profile

[crystal jackal]

it's pulling up a day old char

[faint cape]

The rate limit only prevents updates within like an hour or so, are you talking about a deleted character?

[crystal jackal]

no, I'm online on the car as we speak inside an echo

maybe it pulled it just before i logged on

[faint cape]

It pulls the data whenever the profile is opened, so if you opened it right before or around the time you started playing, then the 2 hour (or whatever it is) timer starts that prevents it from updating

[crystal jackal]

I didn't open it until after I made changes ingame, but I did open other chars on my profile

[faint cape]

interesting, yeah maybe opening up the profile updates all of them, I'm not sure really

that rate limit doesn't apply to the build planner as far as I know, so if you want to mess around with the updated character, you should be able to import it to a planner

[crystal jackal]

planner doesn't have actaul stats, and need actual to calc my dps and maxroll imort is broken
but it updated now, so seems to be on a 1 hours throttle, thanks!

[faint cape]

When you import a character to the planner, it enables the "actual" stat rolls option (at least, as long as you don't change any of the items)

you may just need to click it

[crystal jackal]

aha, it changed the char sheet but not the items, I see. thanks!

[rancid heath]

@delicate dust this one, a bug ;D

im not sure if you're aware of it or not

[delicate dust]

hmmm, that certainly looks off. I'm not personally aware, but I also don't know every bug unfortunately. As long as you've submitted it in an in-game bug report with the "attach screenshot" box checked, the team should be aware of it.

[rancid heath]

Yeah i did, it was a shield rush but in temporal sanctum. Thank you for acknowledging it

[slow eagle]

Shield rush can let you have lots of fun

Like running through some walls

[tranquil obsidian]

guys, i'm about to reroll to another class, just because blademaster has become a little stagnant.
In the guides of maxroll, should i be aware of some builds that are no more relevant because something has been nerfed to oblivion between 1.1 and 1.1.7?

[desert tree]

No balance changes between 1.1 and now

[cosmic phoenix]

got the ol' damage calculation up to 600,000

feeling good about it, room to grow but not a slouch

[frigid jungle]

using both i guess does nothing? or im issing something

[icy drift]

I don't see why they'd have anything to do with eachother

both maul and fury leap should cast upheaval if you have both

[frigid jungle]

ok but i would always be on bear form.

[desert tree]

Press Alt on the second one

ty!

[frigid jungle]

and the mana cost is also doubled ?

[pearl token]

just got this to drop and looking for advice on how to best approach this slam prep. I have a 2LP relic that I ideally want to put Smite Level and Strength on it (smite level being highest prio)

i'm assuming seal the elem resist

or remove first, hope it doesn't hit smite and seal remaining

[cosmic phoenix]

50/50

[pearl token]

so you'd seal the elem resist first then try for the removal on void cleave yeah?

[tranquil obsidian]

if you have to slam into unique, don't seal that exalt, will become unslammable. Just max the affixes and hope to get lucky

[cosmic phoenix]

Gotta have 4 affixes

[faint cape]

No, it's unaffected

[faint cape]

That's not right, the sealed affix is just effectively removed

[faint cape]

I wouldn't recommend using a removal on anything to craft except as a last resort, strength or another good stat is pretty likely to get by just chaosing the VC +lvl. Make sure your item has all 4 affixes on before you seal. I'd craft the other suffix T1, seal ele res, craft your other suffix, then chaos VC and craft up the rest.

[pearl token]

oh right, can't have only 2 affixes on the exalted, must have 4 non-sealed

[tranquil obsidian]

oh i thought from the tooltip on the cache it meant that it would have refused to accept any sealed exalt. My bad.
that's good to know, because i was bummed out by the fact i had some great nemesis items and i could not use them.

[faint cape]

Yeah, and specifically for sealing, it has a higher chance to successfully seal the more affixes you have. An exalted item with 4 affixes has 100% seal chance on a T1, but a 3 affix one is not guaranteed to seal

[pearl token]

right, I keep forgetting the # of affixes as well for seal success rate. what did you mean by VC +level?

[faint cape]

No worries! Yeah the text in game is not as clear as it could be, but basically the cache just completely ignores the sealed affix; doesn't count for the 4 affix requirement and can't be transferred

[pearl token]

oh I guess glyph of chaos could be useful here

[faint cape]

That's the other prefix you have in the screen shot, it's what you'd need to replace in order to get strength

[pearl token]

just reread your msg, ok so chaos is the way to go

[faint cape]

If you're not a paladin, ele res could be a decent stat, so you could consider trying to seal the VC prefix instead, but of course with it being a T2 affix it's not a guaranteed seal (still pretty likely of course)

[pearl token]

yeah I'm a pally using holy aura 😄

[faint cape]

Ah yeah ele res is definitely a dead stat then heh

[pearl token]

phys/poison/necrotic would be more useful

would using chaos on the elem res be better than sealing it?

probably not since it's rng if I get something useful

appreciate your help, first time going far enough in endgame to mess with slamming 🙂

not a bad result

hoping to hit the prefixes 😄

lmao it hit both suffixes, RIP

still better than the one I'm using at least

[cosmic phoenix]

rip

[frigid jungle]

the mob that spawrns the zombies is killing my pc. is this a new kind of bug? i never ahd this problem before 💀 . my pc freezes until im death

[faint cape]

It might be a new one, definitely report using the in game bug report tool so they can look at your game logs and hopefully fix it

[cosmic phoenix]

Hey, what is the stuff that deals damage to your health and ignores ward? Also, how do I avoid it.

[faint cape]

This only comes from map-specific ground effects, there's some in the "arena" type maps as well as the Emperor of Corpses boss fight area. If you just avoid those spots where they appear, then you're all good. They deal a % of your current health btw, so they are incapable of killing you.

[weak storm]

when is season 2 dropping?

[surreal verge]

April.

[cosmic phoenix]

What is the ideal ratio of Ward per Second to Ward Retention to Ward Decay Threshold? Or does anyone know of a good read on the topic?

Also, I have a ton of in combat ward generation in my kit, but I have no idea how to calculate how much.

[cosmic phoenix]

goat

oh boy, there is a learning curve to this calculator, but we gonna make it happen

thanks

#💬┃general message

[cosmic phoenix]

Thanks, yo that stuff make me wee a little every time it happens.

[latent apex]

what exactly is "weavers will" and what do the numbers next to it mean?

[storm blaze]

I think it's in the game guide (G)

[latent apex]

thank you

[storm blaze]

Faster to read there than me writing it on the phone

[latent apex]

No no, I really appreciate the direction! I just didnt know where to start!

Much thanks my friend!

[storm blaze]

You're welcome

[toxic anvil]

how customizable are echoes in the endgame?

like can I get it it down so a single objective type?

[surreal verge]

What customization?

[toxic anvil]

like what objective each echo has

[surreal verge]

You cannot customize them.

[toxic anvil]

like if I only wanna do spire

OOF

any word on if that's gonna happen?

[surreal verge]

I don't even know if they plan on it, #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs

[midnight basin]

anyone ever seen this? not sure how to fix tried a full reinstall but doesnt seem to be helping

[toxic echo]

i had it once...its really annoying. i just had to keep trying

i think its more of a steam issue than le directly

weird that a full wipe didnt fix tho

[midnight basin]

Same, I got it to update properly but now the game is crashing over and over again. Im not sure what the heck is going on

[toxic echo]

i would run another verify files, even if its just installed

[midnight basin]

I did im looking at my event log too to be sure, looks like its actually gpu related so this should be fun

[cosmic phoenix]

oh man, i don't understand ward retention and ward decay threshold at all

[sonic saddle]

Ward decay threshold is the point where ward decay starts

[cosmic phoenix]

i'm fiddling with the ward calculator and threshold seems to do very little for a long time and then it starts to skyrocket the amount of ward you have

it seems like such a weird thing to invest into

i'm assuming it isn't as good once you are in a fight

[sonic saddle]

That's probably because of the nature of ward and its diminishing returns

Ward decay scales up exponentially as you gain more ward

[sonic saddle]

You generally can't get that much ward decay threshold

[cosmic phoenix]

yeah

my offenses are in a great place, but finding a happy balance with defenses is stress

i've gotta juggle ward, health, crit defense, resistances, armor

endurance

[sonic saddle]

What sorta character

[cosmic phoenix]

spellblade mage

[sonic saddle]

In general you go ward or health

[cosmic phoenix]

yeah, i've been trying to keep enough health that the mage 70% health ward proc is juicy

and i don't get accidentally one shot

level 85, have like 1400 health and a resting ward of around 1700

endurance maxed out at 60% and 80% health threshold, resistances mostly at 75+

something like 1000 armor that jumps up to 2k in a thick fight

currently only 45% crit damage reduction though, it is in a weird place and scares me

[sonic saddle]

That 70% hp threshhold ward proc is bad

[cosmic phoenix]

is it? it's like 700 ward burst if i dip right?

[sonic saddle]

Even if you had 3k health, a gain of 300 ward is not good

No

[cosmic phoenix]

it's 6 per 10

every 6 seconds

which feels about like the timer of boss big hits

[sonic saddle]

Oh right sorry

But still bad

[cosmic phoenix]

it's juicy but doesn't proc super often

but i'm playing HC so i keep it

[sonic saddle]

I'm a primalist running around with 7k ward for example

With about 1.6k ward gen per second

[cosmic phoenix]

is that with the shield thing or just raw ward per second?

hmm, is that pure ward per second or ward coming from other sources like abilities proccing?

[sonic saddle]

That's from a vessel of strife regen setup

[cosmic phoenix]

i have no idea how to calculate my ward generated from melee hits

it is a lot though

[sonic saddle]

So i have >2k hp regen and vessel gives me ~65% of that as ward gen

[cosmic phoenix]

2k hp regen is bigly

[sonic saddle]

I have 1k health

In general, you don't want to be building things for both health and ward

Including endurance as a part of health

[cosmic phoenix]

yeah, I have been scared of the ward breaking, but I can see what you mean

I got my dps output to 800k and outstripped my defenses and now i'm doing the defense science

do you bother with ward threshold and retention?

much, compared to the health regen

[faint cape]

You must have retention for any ward building thing. Threshold is pretty niche, not a lot of sources and it's not a multiplier like retention is.

[cosmic phoenix]

Yeah, this is good information, thanks guys!

[cosmic phoenix]

am I doing this right?

I get that the numbers can be bigger

but this is actually safe to do?

[sonic saddle]

not with ward amounts that low

and er

LL ward is supposed to stack max health
