[grim agate]

thanks i will try fire claw

[restive epoch]

Dont remember where I got it from, but it exists 😄 I still havent dropped 4x t6 without anything sealed tho

[toxic echo]

nemesis is the only way to get an exalted seal rn

[mossy shadow]

looks like a neme one indeed

but damn thats a juicy looking Boots

[restive epoch]

Sadly it got screwed up with chaosed t5 %armor 😄

[hoary junco]

is the fastest way to build corruption across all your timelines, to push corruption in a single timeline before you switch to another?

how much corruption should i be aiming for per shade?

nevermind i think this maxroll guide looks like my answer

[frosty vessel]

help me understand. I had a prophecy which would give me 5 exalted helmets. With the x2 lens. I also had the lense to do it 2 times. In total I got 4 helmets?

[desert tree]

Do you have a screenshot of the prophecy?

Do you have a filter that might hide some exalted affixes?

[frosty vessel]

I'm an absolute idiot @desert tree

You are once again correct

[desert tree]

😏

[floral gazelle]

Is there a true "zoom"/big clear build in this game? It feels like it's designed to be a little slower paced

(Not saying that's bad but jw if I'm maybe not picking the best build for what I like)

Could just be POE/D4 brain rot

The pacing reminds me a little more of grim dawn

[toxic echo]

Lots of rogue builds can get zoomy. Some mage stuff. But ya...its designed to be slower

[edgy sphinx]

I was just about to say that.

I imagine it's because movement speed is less egregious in LE.

[restive epoch]

1.9s Shift goes brrrr

[toxic echo]

Less ms, less spammable screen wide aoe, more cooldowns, actual mana issues. Lots of little reasons

[limpid raven]

does armor shred help bleed do more damage?

[toxic echo]

no

armor shred just helps with hits

[limpid raven]

ok thx

[candid elm]

Bleed is Physical Damage over Time. So while Armor Shred doesn't help as DoTs don't hit, other things like Physical Penetration and Physical Resistance Shred do help. For example Fury of the North Blessing from Age of Winter monolith gives Shred Physical Resistance chance on hit.

[limpid raven]

OK I appreciate it I am trying to get my bleed Lich to do more damage and trying to figure out best way I can do that from where I am currently

[candid elm]

hmm, I'm more familiar with Bleed Warlock. There are a lot of items that can improve Bleed, though. Taste of Blood 1H axe makes your Bleed's tick faster on melee hit, so if you're using Harvest or another melee skill, that's an option. Flayer's Pride shield gives Bleed Physical Pen. Blood of the Exile boots gives a multiplicative more physical ailment bonus and Bleed duration. Valdyr's Chalice relic gives some healing from Bleed and Bleed Duration. Salt the Wound gloves lets you scale Crit Multi to increase Bleed damage, but these can be hard to get.

[limpid raven]

I am using harvest but right now I am having a tough time staying alive cause I feel like I am getting stunned every few seconds and I do not know what I can do to fix that

[toxic echo]

if you are getting stunned, you need more health, or stun avoidance

or just dont get hit

[limpid raven]

I mean my hp is 681 in chapter 8 which is normally what it is

[wide sentinel]

Just dont get hit

Or to be precise learn what can kill u and dont get hit by that

[gentle harness]

If you're in the Merchant's Guild, and you leave it with an item for sale, does that item stay for sale?

[sonic saddle]

yes

[halcyon estuary]

ded game bro

[wide sentinel]

not dead,its thriving!

only 5 or so weeks left

[storm wren]

poe running an event if you want to play new contents. You can go back until April

[random tapir]

the community on discord is nice, unless you're hardcore into trading (haven't tried it myself, CoF from the beginning) why do u care about the game's numbers?

[storm wren]

they usually prefer trading so...

[random tapir]

poe2 is brand new ofc it's gonna take the spotlight for a bit, but seasonal arpgs are extremely hard to kill

sure we'll hear about D5 in a few years 😆

[surreal verge]

That's REALLY low for chapter 8.

[frosty vessel]

I just got to empowered monos and that was quite the jump in difficulty! I was thinking I'd be showered in loot but that wasn't the case. Is CoF prophecies with the 90% and 80% the best way?

And I died for the first time, which was actually nice

My health is also quite jumpy, do I need crit avoidance or armor?

[desert tree]

Both

[desert tree]

Yes

[frosty vessel]

[random tapir]

my dream is to take a bladedancer build to wave 1000 in endless arena, can it be done chat? 🧐

[desert tree]

Yes, but its more an endurance check than a character check ^^

[mossy shadow]

My Dream? to have a stash tab with ALL Unique and SET item collectable all neatly organize with its own tab per armor type, weapon, accessory and relic....like a Wardrobe

Will likely need like 20 tabs for the Unique category alone

P.S. I don't know why i replied to the endless guy saying game is ded lol

[restive epoch]

Its not really hard to collect all the uniques/sets in the game... ofc stuff like Red Ring, Orian's Eye, Fractured Crown, Paranoia are harder to get... but the moment you start keeping a lot of uniques with good rolls and LP, thats where the trouble begins 😄 and legendaries on top of it... 😄

[mossy shadow]

Damn tab costing 250k like nothing man

[restive epoch]

Its like 450k for me... I only do CoF, but getting gold isnt some crazy issue... on top of picking gold around, selling trash uniques/sets from prophecies is a nice bonus

[storm wren]

This dream came true for me already :)

Come on!
But I have single Orian's eye only. Maybe it's the only pity...

[cedar locust]

I have some bad news... 😅

[storm wren]

👀
No pressure for me

[cedar locust]

To be fair, that is the last tab you can buy haha. If you want to see the prices of tabs as they scale, you can check here - https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/stash

[storm wren]

I need to check out how much gold I need for next tab under current case later 🫡

I'm far away from my home now

[mossy shadow]

SO Stash isn't "INFINITE"

Only 200 tabs? BOOOO

[cedar locust]

HOW MANY MORE COULD YOU NEED???

[proud prawn]

depends on the build

[random tapir]

i will find a way

i will take bladedancer OVER 9000

[random tapir]

i need to store every single item and have never heard of a loot filter

[proud prawn]

well it has been done before so 🤷🏽‍♂️

[random tapir]

not this patch unless leaderboards are horrifically wrong 😆

[cedar locust]

I famously don't use a loot filter and even I sort out the wheat from the chaff every now and then lol

[proud prawn]

i dont want to say this but BD players this patch are just pathetic

they literally play the oldest build in the book that has been played since like stone age

[random tapir]

haven't seen anything higher than like wave 370

[proud prawn]

how can you expect it to do beter than the past lol

[random tapir]

even looking at 1.1

[proud prawn]

check 1.0 then

[random tapir]

1536 😎

[proud prawn]

doing the same thing and expect to have different outcome 😂

[restive epoch]

Synch strike with cascade SD? 😄

[proud prawn]

you guess 😂

and they dont even take advantage of any new items added since launch kekw

[restive epoch]

I could try with LM SD black blade I guess, but do I really wanna bothr with endless arena....

[proud prawn]

i highly doub\t BBC build will be any much better

but at least it's something different

[restive epoch]

No idea, never tried endless arena before, having to do normal arena for good Penumbras is painful enough... and Ive only tried low life synch strike for about, 1 day before getting bored with the playstyle tbh 😄

[random tapir]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/QWplp7ZB probably gonna run this for campaign/mono and then experiment from there

my bd is only lvl 39 rn so got a way to go

[proud prawn]

I''m pretty sure you''ll be stuck at like 300 corruption with this thing lol

[random tapir]

hey if it gets me to 300 im happy :P dont need to go higher than that to start experimenting

[proud prawn]

looks so bad if you ask me

[random tapir]

what would u suggest?

[proud prawn]

if you dont really understand what you''re going for

i suggest stay away from melee for now

[random tapir]

pretty sure that build clears 600 corr tho

[proud prawn]

also we can take this to #🔪┃rogue

[restive epoch]

Shift with shadow cascade proc but no shadow cascade is... weird? Flurry is just chosing a hard mode since you need to stand in place I think 🤔

[cedar locust]

If it aint broke.... Some of the best tools for leatherwork, carpentry and stonemasonry haven't changed in millennia

[mossy shadow]

not unless season 2 patch note says otherwise

[storm wren]

Not expensive

[storm wren]

I suppose you should ahow that too

I have no idea why someone want 200 tabs... Too crazy

[sly fable]

I know people who claim 200 is not enough

These people are refered to as "hoarders"

[harsh ravine]

Just think how much stuff people could hold on to if LE had something like GDIA or GDstash like Grim Dawn has - less tabs required but there’d be collections of 1 of each item in the game and normal, magic, rare, exalted, unique, set and legendary !

[limpid raven]

since when XD

[wide sentinel]

they need to seek professional help instead imo

💀

[surreal verge]

Since forever. If Lagon's claw slam can consistenly stun you, you got an issue. (It's not supposed to. It normally doesn't stun you if you have around 1k health and/or ward enough to cover for it)

[wide sentinel]

am i missing something?

[surreal verge]

❓

[wide sentinel]

stuns for 2 sec

[surreal verge]

I have consistently never gotten stuned by the claw slam though...

[wide sentinel]

because he has 2 melee attacks

one of them is garanteed stun

🤔

[surreal verge]

Oh

Oh the non-100% stun one has MUCH more damage

[wide sentinel]

yep

and no cd

[surreal verge]

350 melee would stun anything below like 800max hp

[wide sentinel]

see post above

[surreal verge]

Well, he claims to have like 680hp at chap 8 which is lagon's chapter...

[wide sentinel]

thats not good

unless they are rogue

💀

[surreal verge]

Oh they're acolyte, they mentioned harvest and saying they're consistently stunned.

I wonder why.

[wide sentinel]

bets on harvest unchanged in 1,2 💀

[desert tree]

Very little

Pretty sure Mike said 1.3 will be Acolyte turns to get a glow up

[wide sentinel]

hahahahaha

spellblade in shambles

but tbf sb isnt that bad now, just has some survivability issues

[desert tree]

Spell who?
Too bad it share a base mastery with Mage

[wide sentinel]

idk what they are trying to cook with fire aura

but itll never work out

maybe if they add melee scaling and 1000% damage effectivness

[surreal verge]

Fire aura is like AoD, except it doesn't self sabotage

🤣

[wide sentinel]

its worse , way worse

aod takes only 1 skill slot, fire aura takes half of SB passive tree

💀

[surreal verge]

You know what, fair.

[wide sentinel]

imagine if they turned it into solid ward generating mechanic instead, would make sb 10x better

[desert tree]

And you need at least 2 skills to get it going

Or you go RM with Glyph but still you are shooting yourself in the foot

[wide sentinel]

my biggest gripe with sb is that you either playing shatter strike or have to rely on fire brand

would be cool if there was an option to somehow automate fire brand into full support aura or add an option to make other skills work if they dont use brand

[desert tree]

I kinda like the Generator/Spender of like Firebrand/Flame Reave or Surge

[wide sentinel]

despicable pov

[desert tree]

Mana Strike Spark Charge isnt good ?

[wide sentinel]

[desert tree]

https://tenor.com/view/long-tears-gif-11087877242190144149

[wide sentinel]

i think you play spark charge on shatter if you go sb if you are mana strike better play sorc

[wide sentinel]

in your defense fire brand is the best generator/spender LE has to offer

but imo it takes too long to stack, for dynamic gameplay it should 1-1-2 not 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-2

[desert tree]

Get more AS, kid 😛

[wide sentinel]

they should cap stacks at 2 with optional node for 3 and add giga buffs per stack instead

[desert tree]

What if Triple Strike could hit the same Target multiple times, and would give you 1 Stack per hit with a max of 3 stacks per Use

[wide sentinel]

maybe? but sounds more like crutch

is it what 12 or 10 max stacks now?

🤔

[desert tree]

It also comes with the downside of have added Mana Cost

[wide sentinel]

thats way too many

[desert tree]

12 ?? Is there an affix for that ?

[wide sentinel]

well i dont remember exactly how much it was

[desert tree]

3 base + 3 + 2 I believe

Nice subskill 😏

[wide sentinel]

8 🧐

[desert tree]

Let me boot the game

[wide sentinel]

with +1 generator node makes 4 attacks to cap

but generator makes it 6 mana cost, which is huge downside

so yeee

[desert tree]

I do have a question about this node
Do they expect us to stack Ignite with Firebrand and then Convert them to Frostbite ?

[wide sentinel]

i think someone actually did it

with weapon ench ignite pop

oh wait im cooked they didnt convert

[desert tree]

4 base +2 from Wildfire + 3 Ardent Branding

The last one also kills your AS scaling because why not

[wide sentinel]

ye idk thats just too many, at least when i tried its too clunky even with big AS

[desert tree]

Taking Ardent Branding makes it almost impossible to reach 9stacks

[dusky kite]

thats not the problem with it, the problem is that you press your firebrand button and it hits the mobs.. some random number of times cause you cant really control or predict it reliably, especially at high attack speed, then you - maybe - interrupt it with the spender skill, maybe even at the right number of stacks

or maybe you overshoot

or maybe some of the hits dont register and you dont have enough stacks

this dynamic isnt even remotely fun to play at the combat speed that LE is expected to have

[wide sentinel]

ya thats why 2-3 max stack will solve it ez, make less speedy but more reliable and faster to get max stacks

[dusky kite]

still not good when you have attack speed anywhere between like 2 and 3,5 hits per second with a very continuous and non-differentiated animation where it's very hard to tell individual instances apart

say games like WOW combat that by having a 1 second GCD at worst so you have enough time to react and even count/look up your stack counts and such

and while I wish that combat in this game was also a bit less spammy clearly this is not the vision developers have

they love spam everywhere

[wide sentinel]

tbh im really not even sure what devs want at this point

years ago they were all abt generator spender

then community proved them that they will jumps loops and hoops just to not play the way devs want to

and now we have like 2.5 builds that are actual generator spender, and everyone else who uses generators are just playing suboptimal setup

[dusky kite]

I forgot to mention the best part btw, I'm pretty damn sure that for flame reave just spamming flame reave is a lot better than builder spender with firebrand now

so the only builder spender build left on sb is surge

and I guess static if you want to count it

[wide sentinel]

and only cause it has cd

[dusky kite]

it just does a lot more damage than flame reave cause FR has a laughable damage scaling at baseline

you can have like 500 base damage on it

it still sucks

[wide sentinel]

5 years old skill

💀

[dusky kite]

surge aint any newer

it was just made more equal

[wide sentinel]

i think it is couple years younger 🤔

[dusky kite]

nah surely it isnt

I mean surge also got the funny boot but I havent seen anyone playing with it

tbh I havent seen anybody playing with surge either

maybe if the funny boot didnt drop in the f u c k i n g arena of all things and didnt have astronomical LPL people would be using it more

[wide sentinel]

i might try it with cdr stacking, but 4 sec base cd is kinda ehh

[dusky kite]

the only noteworthy part about it is the on the arse meme

[lean yoke]

hey guys im new to rogue, i need a little help with undertsanding a node in puncture. Sanguine Obsession. Does this mean i an have like poison chance on my quiver and it applies as bleed chance instead? rogue channel didnt answer so im hoping to find the answer here

[icy drift]

Correct

Anything that would make puncture poison will instead make it bleed

[lean yoke]

ok so as long as it applies to puncture. so any poison chance is converted to bleed for puncture only

[icy drift]

Yep

[lean yoke]

ty so much for responding

!!!

[icy drift]

A skills tree only applies to that skill unless specified otherwise

Np ^^

[lean yoke]

im trying to relearn the game i took such a long break and poe 2 made me miss this game

[icy drift]

Welcome back! Good time to relearn considering the new season is in a little over a month

[lean yoke]

oh wtf

i didnt even know lmao

[icy drift]

Yep, 2'nd of april ^^

[lean yoke]

i have one more question

[icy drift]

Go ahead

[lean yoke]

im doing a bleed bujild for the first time and im trying not to follow a guide as i want to make a build myself, do i shred armour to make bleed stacks do more damage?

[icy drift]

It does not

Armour only affects hits, not dots

[lean yoke]

how about like phys penetration

[icy drift]

That does work

[lean yoke]

does that apply to my bvleed dot damage

oh ok

[icy drift]

Yep

[lean yoke]

so amrour is hit only

[icy drift]

Correct

There is a stat that gives you damage reduction for dots based on your armour but enemies don't have anything like that

[lean yoke]

ok interesting thank you, i have never dealt with dot ever so i was confused as to what applies to the damage and what doesnt

[icy drift]

Kirra what are you posting about

Lol

[lean yoke]

lmao

[icy drift]

You'll mainly want to scale bleed chance (which poison chance will also give you now), bleed duration (pretty rare stat but very strong) physical damage and physical penetration as well as attack speed

Which is better where will depend on the situation, there's usually no answer that applies 100% of the time

[lean yoke]

so im still super early game, im going bleed chance as much as i can because im using the mutilate node to just deal the stack damage instantly

[storm wren]

I'm calling EHG fix their translations

[lean yoke]

everything is a breeze rightnow

[icy drift]

Ah, you can post them in #tooltip-hunt

Any time wording is wonky or wrong it goes in that channel

[storm wren]

I'm boring now... Waiting someone come here so I can introduce le... No one now, so I check out their translations to spend my time

[cosmic night]

whos the hardest harbinger to fight?

[desert tree]

For Melee imo Spirit of Fire

Otherwise Lagon's one or Gaspar's one are pretty annoying

[icy drift]

Probably either the Lagon one or fall of the Empire tbh

Imo

The Lagon ones arena is just really cramped and the fall of the Empire one keeps the big worms on the sides that keep attacking you

[cosmic night]

yea im thinking i might hunt the lagon one last. so far i just need 3 more and dreading to do lagon lol

[dusky kite]

depends on your build but if it's based on ground effects or melee uptime then the thin harbinger is just super annoying cause she will be kiting you

lagon's harbinger is not so bad cause you can position her in the corner of the arena where her movement will be minimized

anyways I'd say that the crab man harb is more annoying than lagon's harb cause the extra arena effects are void dot

[frosty vessel]

I've got a prophecy to kill rare enemies 14 corruption

do I have to be at exactly 14 corruption? Doesn't seem to count in 100 corr

[spare glacier]

14c and up, it should count

[frosty vessel]

huh

[spare glacier]

it should work at 14 or more corruption. if not you found a bug^^

[dusky kite]

enemies spawned from mono objectives dont count

also the imperial watchers have a few variants not all of which count for prophecies

[storm wren]

https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/s/E1AnjJsI4A

Oh... New bug :(

[mossy shadow]

i thought at first a BIG DRAGON or Creature is being tease xD

[harsh ravine]

How do drop rate % get calculated. Heorot has a 50% chance to drop RoW. I also have the Grand Blessing that increases bow drop rate - only the lowest % - 52 I think (it’s a pain to land it even with all 5 slots open). It’s not 50+52, otherwise it would guarantee a drop. I’m assuming it is 50%+52% of 50, which should give me a 75% chance at a bow drop ?

[icy drift]

the blessing has no effect on boss uniques

[harsh ravine]

Oh …. well that would explain a lot 😁 For non-boss drops though is my math calculation correct ? I still need bows to use with Legendary crafting. The higher the drop rate, the better.

[native dune]

What would be the best strategy to improve this item? #👑┃item-showcase message

I'm playing Holy Trail Paladin.

[desert tree]

Penetration S

Plural

Iirc holy trail does lightning and fire Dmg

[native dune]

Yes, it does dual damage indeed.

[desert tree]

So if you can add both that's nice

[native dune]

Alright thanks, I'm going to try that.

[desert tree]

Either you add a t1 of one pen, seal it and add the other one

Or you add one pen and try to seal the T3 slow

[native dune]

Would you replace the slow on hit first and then seal an affix?

That way it avoids sealing the slow.

Why would you seal the slow? It looks like a wasted affix, doesn't it?

[desert tree]

To make room for another suffix

You can try to remove but you have a chance to remove one of your exalted affix

[native dune]

Ah, I was thinking about using a glyph of chaos but that might be too much of a gambling.

[desert tree]

That's a viable option too

[native dune]

Which one do you think is the best?

[desert tree]

But not fan personally

I would add 4th, try to seal slow
If succeed try to get both pen suffixes as high as possible
If fail seal a t1 pen, add the other pen and pump it

[native dune]

So this is the correct shard?

[desert tree]

My problem with Chaos is there is no garanty you will have the affix you want and you can loose all your FP in 2 hits

[desert tree]

Looks like it yeah

Do you have fire too?

[native dune]

Unfortunately I don't.

I can hold the item until I do that's fine.

Got a T1 lightning penetration for 3 FP, pretty good.

[desert tree]

Yup

Maybe you can add a rule on your filter to see hybrid Fire Pen and Hybrid Lightning Pen so you can shatter them

[native dune]

I already have one but I was just unlucky, they seem pretty rare.

[dusky kite]

the same is true of trying to seal t3+ affixes and you are also wasting more valuable resources

[stone maple]

is anyone playing a build using avenged(harbinger) exalted weapons? if yes, what?

[dusky kite]

these are way too rare to be built around in any real way, but I guess if you have one and it fits your build and you aren't using a unique weapon, why not?

[native dune]

So that's the result of my attempts at sealing the slow, unfortunately it did not work. Maybe I can try to seal the T1?

It did work and got me this:

TLDR: don't play melee, unless you have already great equipment or can get it easy from market

[harsh ravine]

Anyone good at math. I'm trying to farm a LP2 Reign of Winter. Hoerot has a 50% chance to drop a bow and according to LETools a LP2 has a 1.35% chance of dropping. I'm wondering what that equates to in the number of times I'm going to have to fight him to get one at that LP ?

I need to get Critical Strike Chance+Increased Bow Attack speed on the bow. That is a single combo prefix, but I'm assuming I need an LP2 to be able to slam it on a unique and make it into a legendary. If not then I'll wander off to have a chat to Julra. Since it is a T6 value I'm hoping to apply I have been told I need to deal with her/it at T3. If that has changed and I can do the same craft at a T2 it would also be good to know. Not sure I can tackle at T3 at the moment.

[dusky kite]

you need 1 lp to transfer that affix since it's a single affix

as for the drop chance of a 2 lp bow the expectation would be that you'd need to run it about 150 times

cut in 3 if you are on COF

[harsh ravine]

I'm a level 11 CoF - so at least 75 kills - if he drops a bow every time or sooner if the RNG gods are listening (not likely)
Also - if I have a 0LP is the egg the only way to get an LP on it ?
Now I can stop killing myself (literally) against Hoerot then. I need to fight Julra at T3 to slam it on though correct ?
Whether I get the affix I want is random. The RNG gods could be fickle and give me some other stat I don't want and I assume there is no way to curry favour with them.

[dusky kite]

yes, the egg is the only way to upgrade LP on a unique item and it's obviously not guaranteed

it's level 60 right? You can do that at t2 I'm sure

[harsh ravine]

The bows requires a level 70 Rogue to equip it

[dusky kite]

yeah that's t3 sanctum

[harsh ravine]

Ok. I guess it’s time to see if I can do that fight.

[raw plaza]

anyone having connection issues where you get to char screen but cant login on the character

[faint cape]

It's a lot of layers of RNG, but you have about a 95% chance to get at least one 2 LP reign in 110 reign drops (2.7% chance for reign to drop with 2 LP). I don't feel like going any deeper than that for actual probability, but 110 reigns will take you about 88 Heorot kills on average.

and that's at 0 corruption

at 200c, you'd expect 95% chance in more like 102 drops

[harsh ravine]

Yeah - luckily I don't need an LP2. Off to see if I can tackle a T3 Julra and then see if the RNG gods are with me on the affix I want on the bow. I assume the exalted item is destroyed on use so if you don't get the affix you want you have to go find another bow with and try it again.

[faint cape]

Right, you'll need to find a new LP reign and new exalted bow if you don't get what you want

[harsh ravine]

I have about 4 LP1 bows. They vary in the stats. I have 2 bows. I really hope the first bow gets the stat I want 🙏 but if I can do the fight at T3 I'll just quietly cry and then dust myself off and try again.
Do you need to be carrying the items with you or can you access your stash when you get to the crafting stage (never done it before).

I don't want to get all the way there and screw it up

[faint cape]

There is a stash you can use right by the cache you use to craft legos

[harsh ravine]

Oh - and the exalted has to have all 4 affixes filled right ? It won't work if I have one that has a spare prefix or suffix. In that case I can just throw on any old thing and hope it doesn't transfer to the RoW

I read all this but sometimes requirements change and a guide isn't updated to reflect that.

[faint cape]

Yeah, can't have any open prefixes or suffixes, sealed affixes don't count

It's a good idea to put stuff in each affix slot that you wouldn't mind having, since a 1 LP with a meh stat is still better than a 0 LP, though I guess for reign you probably aren't going to even use the build at all until you get flat crit on one

but the point is that you can use up all your forging potential on the exalted, doesn't need FP to work for legendary crafting

[harsh ravine]

Er about not using the bow till I get the crit - I'm using it now. I have all the other unique pieces so I figured why not at the time - before I knew better. Then again I'm only doing level 200 corruption so that might be why I can get away with it. This is the bow I hope to get crit on and the 2 exalted I have to choose from to transfer the crit and attack speed. There is a spare suffix on each. Not sure what I should throw on it just to make it whole. Any suggestions ?

Oh and should I max the suffix I put on or leave it at level 1 ?

[faint cape]

Ah okay, then if you're already using it then the original statement applies... having a decent affix on it will still improve your build, even if it's not the flat crit

Yeah, craft up all the affixes as much as you can, focus on the ones that will benefit your build, like armor shred and stun chance on those exalteds will help you. You can even try chaosing those prefixes to get something helpful like % inc cold damage. Personally though for those, I'd just slap on a discovery rune (costs 0 LP and fills all empty slots with random affixes) and then reroll the affix values to aim for +8% crit and hopefully more attack speed, since both of those are min-rolled for the affix you want.

after you get +8% crit, then maybe craft up and chaos the remaining affixes just to make them as good as you can, so if you fail the slam you still get at least something

[harsh ravine]

These are the 2 Legendary RoW I've been swapping between. I personally can't tell if there is a difference between them. I got them via putting a unique RoW in an egg. Sadly neither came out with crit strike chance. Probably a fluke they came out converted in the first place. If I should be using one over the other now let me know which one.

In the meantime I could use a rune of discovery to fill in the empty suffix slots. I'm not clear about re-rolling - I'd lose the T6 values right and may not get them back or do I then use something else that guarantees I can't roll lower then the current value of them ?

[gaunt igloo]

what does flayers pride have anything to do with transplant other than the reduce health cost to cast? i dont see transplant listed anywhere on the item (unless im blind)

[faint cape]

First one seems better due to higher icicle proc chance mainly, though higher flat spell helps as well
Oh yeah, and no rerolling affix values doesn't change the tier, it rolls them within tier - see the range listed below each affix, that's what it rolls within.

[faint cape]

Nothing really. Probably a minor game bug, pretty sure the related abilities LE Tools lists are pulled straight from the game data.

[harsh ravine]

Ummm - how do I get my crafted gear back once it has been sealed ? Not intuitive. Do I press D again and then press D a second time to acces the sealed cache ?

Ah got it - well the first experience of Sanctum was nice. It put increased movement speed on Mournigfrost boots, which is what I wanted at this stage (they are only LP1).

[candid elm]

Yes, it "takes a long time", so you put in then time swap with D to pick it up.

[faint cape]

Movement speed on boots is always solid

[harsh ravine]

Got a bump up so now at 58% ms. Slowly getting the hang of things. Just landed a 2LP version of mourningfrost so will be on the lookout for exalts with 30% and another handy stat. Upgrades to bow next, then helmet and chest armour (for which I have a 3LP) 👍

[mossy shadow]

I like how Bob character story arc started as being lvl 97 having Rare gears that doesn't even match his build

to actually farming gear / stat for his build and now we see him slamming unique and praying for RNG xD

[lean locust]

How do I get to Upper Temple? I completed the campaign but missed this area and am trying to complete a CoF Prophecy

[mossy shadow]

its part of the main mission where you go to the Oasis > the mine > get to the big bird

[lean locust]

Ah ok! I stopped at the mines once I had all passives / idol slots 🙂

Thank you

[frosty vessel]

I'm pretty new to the game, beastmaster 90 and spellblade 80.

Why are healthbuids so much harder to gear? If I don't get hybrid health + health on all my exalts i'm just dead? While on ward classes you get thousands and thousands just by passives pretty much?

[storm wren]

You endurance is capped?

If your endurance is capped, have single armor + reduce damage from crit bonus affix on your gears at least, reduce damage taken from skills, capped all of your resistances, then increase your health is the last layer for defense exactly.

Or you can stack wards to reduce damage for your health but this is caster's stuff mainly, maybe spellblade can go this way because it's one of mastery from mage.

[frosty vessel]

Where do I fit the damage stuff though

[proud prawn]

you got prefixes for offense

and suffixes for defense

[surreal verge]

Getting more health doesn't clash with getting more damage affix wise.

[frosty vessel]

Yeah but beggars cant be choosers.

[stone maple]

And strength for everything 😉

[amber dune]

hey, what happens when I have cof legacy character and move my mg cycle character to legacy. do they each keep their faction, but just dont merge item stashs?

[surreal verge]

Stashes are 'shared'

They do keep faction progress.

[amber dune]

ok thx, so I just cant wear the cof/mg items from the character with the other faction? but share everything

[surreal verge]

Yeah, but you can if you swap factions.

[mossy shadow]

does Cycle vs Legacy have separate Market?

Seeing Aaron is playing in Legacy for his build guide, Legacy Bazaar looks still stock with some items

[dusky kite]

yes

otherwise what is even the point of having a cycle

[gusty gorge]

how is multishot feeling this season?

[frosty vessel]

Am I free to switch between trade and cof as I choose?

[proud prawn]

yes, but there are consequences

[frosty vessel]

Tell me more

[proud prawn]

you cannot use an item with MG tag while in COF and vice versa

[frosty vessel]

Oh I was just gonna buy some stuff for an alt then switch back, is that possible?

Ah nvm

Then I need to farm those it seem

[dusky kite]

you also lose accumulated favor when you do so

but each of your characters can be in a different faction

[storm wren]

I'm wonder why we done quests from different monoliths many times but we still do them again and again, they can't be skipped...
Any sense for doing these pre-quests?

[uneven thorn]

i have more characters that i can count . all of them have all quests done. its just very simple and always on your path. so yea ... just do it. me personally my OCD kicks in so i never skip em

[storm wren]

yeah they're simple so why we have to do these simple quests again and again... Just for unlocking bosses...

Why we can't unlock boss echo directly when we have enough stability as same as empowered timeline?

[dusky kite]

you can skip these quests in empowered monos

[storm wren]

but why I can't skip these quests in normal timeline too?

[analog spire]

The game's way of telling you to not dwell in normal monos longer than you need to perhaps

[mossy shadow]

true

[toxic echo]

the same reason every game ever has a quest progression

[mossy shadow]

but how about those that don't wanna rush empower and want to clear every normal mono first

[toxic echo]

to tell the story

[analog spire]

if you aren't rushing, no need for a skip right?

[storm wren]

🤷‍♀️
I want to dwell in empowered timeline, so rush the progress to that is what I must do.
.... I prefer to grind a few more echoes. It mean they can increase the required stability.

[mossy shadow]

So apparently lvl 95 above is slow AF to grind. And still at lvl 10 CoF

what level on average till i get to CoF rank 12? xD

[toxic echo]

rank 12 should be a lvl 100 type thing

[mossy shadow]

I want to experience lvl 100 + rank 12 CoF before season 2 myself

[toxic echo]

tho it varies with how people play and stuff

[desert tree]

7 characters to lvl 85 ^^

[mossy shadow]

I see, so rank 12 on average will be lvl 100 eh.

even spending tons of favor as I go by too.

Thanks for the input, the grind never stop

[mossy shadow]

Look at this guy testing every possible class xD

[desert tree]

Spellblade + 3 Primalists + 3 Sentinels

[mossy shadow]

i have like shadow dive bomb falconer CoF (offline as my first char),
now have mana stacking sorc CoF (rank 10)
and like a lvl 62 ballista falconer in Merchant guild (just to test the water on this faction)

and now thinking of a Torment Warlock

one this for sure.... I really like seeing YELLOW BIG NUMBERS

Haven't touch on the melee class yet.

[desert tree]

Melee is the only way

[mossy shadow]

If I say "Ranged is superior."

Will this start a war debate like CoF vs MG faction?

[toxic echo]

nah, ranged is just a way to not play with the game. melee is the true game

[mossy shadow]

Totem Shaman is like a Melee class, but uses Totem that deals AoE dmg. Can that still be consider a Melee class? 🤔

[dusky kite]

you are meleeing your storm totem though

and in other totem build you dont really melee at all

[desert tree]

?? You dont

[dusky kite]

upheaval

[storm wren]

summor (minion) class, as same as nercomancer, output damage by your minions only

[desert tree]

You use Totem Upheaval

[dusky kite]

do they? cause last time I checked it had unreliable targeting and slow attack speed

[random tapir]

anyone know of any content creators that push builds/classes to the limit? most i see do build showcases at 300-600 corruption max

i wanna push leaderboards in next cycle so i'm trynna learn

[desert tree]

Its like 10 times better

[raw plaza]

anyone ever had the bug where you can get to char login screen but unable to log into any characters. Just says connecting. Tried multiple different servers.

[faint cape]

Eagles, there are a few other skills that have varied base crit chance btw. They aren't really documented well in game outside the 100% base ones (there are a few with 6% and one minion skill with 2%).

(and I guess it could be argued that having them just vary in skill spec is varying them)

[stone granite]

Did you update the game with the recent patch yet?

[raw plaza]

yes

1.1.7.12

super irrititating. Played fine 3 days ago

[toxic echo]

Ew what sad minion thing is 2%? Lol

[faint cape]

Skeletal mage's mortar

[toxic echo]

Lmao

Sadge

[dusky kite]

that's certainly a head scratcher, just why?

[faint cape]

Probably left over from copying and pasting the necrotic mortar that some of those imperial enemies cast, I guess

same reason why I think most of the 6% crit ones exist, probably unintentional from copying and pasting lightning nova (when it says 20% more crit chance, it literally means 6% base crit chance)

[raw plaza]

well i was able to fix it. Last epoch doesn't support ipv6 very well

[wary pasture]

does the game allow for free respec of skills and passives?

[dusky kite]

more or less yes

you pay a bit of gold for passives and you have to level up your new skills you swap to but it's fairly trivial

[urban fog]

alright who shipped this to my game folder

[edgy sphinx]

I blame UPS

[vital mural]

How's the story for this game?

[toxic echo]

fine if you are into it. its just time travel shenanigans

lots of people dont like time travel stuff

but its also not finished

[vital mural]

Ooo, an ongoing story I dig it

Saw that season 2 is coming, so figured I'd play. xD

[dusky kite]

in short, an afterthought

[vital mural]

Uh..

[dusky kite]

if you want to play a story-focused game you are gonna be disappointed

[vital mural]

That's not good.

[dusky kite]

it's poorly written, incomplete with no timeline of when it will get done, and poorly represented in game in technical terms

LE is very focused on technical aspects of the game even by ARPG genre standards

as opposed to the narrative elements

[vital mural]

That's unfortunate. Truly.

I'm pretty big on storytelling.

[dusky kite]

tbh I wouldn't be looking for it in this particular genre but see above, it's not even on the level of POE, much less something like GD that has actual writing and characters and an immersive world

[faint cape]

I wouldn't say it's that bad, but it isn't very integrated for sure

[dusky kite]

it absolutely is that bad by any reasonable standard

[honest birch]

Its in the roadmap...

[dusky kite]

it was already moved twice or thrice down the line, we have no reason to expect them to stick to any announced date

which yet again proves my point that the story is an afterthought to the devs as it gets postponed to make space for gameplay features

[honest birch]

Or they are focusing on the parts that the players want them to focus on

I don't think the story is an after thought

[vital mural]

I'mma hold off on playing, then.

[toxic echo]

if you are waiting for the story to finish, it will be a while. poe's story wasnt "done" for years after release either. d4 story is still being expanded with paid expansions. its fairly common for arpg's to have extended time for story "completion", esp since story isnt the main draw for these type of games. LE's ch 10 was supposed to come with 1.2, it is not since a majority of players wanted endgame content before the story, so the devs adjusted.

that being said, the story and the lore that is here is fine if you are willing to actually go after it and ask questions. but as i said earlier, it is incomplete and missing 3 story chapters. and its time travel, so its a jumble anyways.

end of the day, up to you though

[narrow sigil]

new season when

[toxic echo]

April 2nd

[tranquil obsidian]

guys is T4 Cremorus on timer? it seems that if you don't nuke it in the first 30 second you either get nuked by fire pavement or necro ring...

[candid elm]

You can try using the D key to flip immunity. I often leave it on the current floor and use the blink type movement skill for the ring, though. But yeah, if I don't notice that the floor changed it definitely can kill me quickly

[sage fiber]

Hi. Wondering if there is anyway to reduce lag caused by skills. Played explosive trap + fireflask BD and it makes the game slow down terribly when the skills start exploding.
So I stopped for a while, got a massively better pc but still get massive ''lag spikes''. Any settings maybe I am missing or should check out?

[storm wren]

can they increase tier of health regeneration or switch affixes from health regeneration on a ring/ amulet?

.... This affix work on belt but go off work on ring/ amulet for me

so this affix can brick my rings/ amulets

[harsh ravine]

I’ve run a number of echoes where the objective to complete the echo I’m in changes. One minute I’m heading to close a gate. Next thing I know I’m fighting an ambush and get an “echo completed” message. What makes the objective change like that ?

[faint cape]

Is this a suggestion? I'm not sure what the question is

[faint cape]

Ambush objectives are sometimes hidden as other objectives. Usually the tell is that it takes a lot longer to proc the ambush than it does to reveal the location of the boss/gate.

[storm wren]

I can't do any actions for health regeneration so it's a problem, want to know anyone meet this bug too

[harsh ravine]

Ah … that’s sneaky. I’ll have to pay more attention. I am not sure they’ve all been ambushes 🤔

[faint cape]

You don't need to do any actions for health regen, it just does its thing. There are ways you can disable it, usually titan heart chest armor.

[storm wren]

😅 I mean health regeneration on item crafting

[faint cape]

Oh, you just need the shards for it. Health regen on amulets is added, which is a bit rarer than the usual increased health regen.

[storm wren]

😅 ......

🫡 I know why pictures better than texts always now

[storm wren]

#1210284436831076402 message
🤷‍♀️ 308 shards I have

[faint cape]

That's not a valid amulet affix

It's a legacy item

% health regen cannot be crafted on amulets anymore

[storm wren]

........ So they're invalid?! holy EHG never tell me this thing

[faint cape]

It was removed a while ago, it was definitely in patch notes

[storm wren]

when are they be expired?

[faint cape]

Only +regen is on amulets now

Not sure, maybe 1.0 or 1.1

[storm wren]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/last-epoch-harbingers-of-ruin-patch-notes/71790
just check out 1.1 new changes post, it's not in the post

[grand shoal]

It was not before 1.1

[storm wren]

checked out all patch notes since 1.0.

No, none of them mentioned this thing

[alpine pendant]

its in the harbringers patch notes, under item changes: general changes, second and third lines

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/last-epoch-harbingers-of-ruin-patch-notes/71790/10
this is the link to the right spot in the patch notes

[storm wren]

😵 ....

alright I never realize there's a hidden way for verifying a item come from 1.0 or 1.1

[dusky kite]

It's a self-perpetuating cycle, the game has bad story -> only people who play for the gameplay are still playing -> those demographics demand more gameplay-focused changes because that's what they care about

[storm wren]

do xxx penetration on amulet works for spell cold damage from my totems?

🤔 I want to know why no minion xxxx penetration affix in le

[desert tree]

No

[desert tree]

They are of your Suffix Weapon

[desert tree]

@sturdy flint Doyou mind sharing here a few screenshot of your situation ?

[sturdy flint]

Share what ? I can't access the gift window. I have to be in a party with that player to access that gift window.

When in party you right click on player and select Gift from dropdown. A window appear where you put item inside and choose resonance. I had only gold resonance for what I read should be enough to gift unique item. But it was not enough we continue the party and he logged off and I have that item still inside hope it is not lost.

[cedar locust]

Open your Inventory with I, there should be a button for 'Gifting' that will open the Gift Inventory. Have you checked there?

[surreal verge]

You don't need to choose a resonance if the item dropped while you are in the same party (That's how gifting works), resonace is only for if the item wasn't dropped while in the same party.

[sturdy flint]

I did check this window. But is another window where you right click on player and pick send gift drom dropdown.

[grand shoal]

That is not his problem. I needed a while to understand, but I feel he could be stuck indeed.

Did you test if you can access the item, when you party up with a different person?

At least I can tell you, the item is stored over sessions, tested that

[cedar locust]

And That is where the item is, I understand now - I'll send this over to the team

[sturdy flint]

I selected the player I was in a party Reaper453

[surreal verge]

Okay, and did the item drop while you both were in the party and in the same instance?

[sturdy flint]

No ofc not, that's why we played till golden resosnace dropped.

[surreal verge]

Which doesn't let you send LP uniques-

But the item should still be stuck in the UI.

It's technically accounted for since this has happened with people forgetting their crafted legendaries in Julra, and iirc they used the same "failsafe".

[cedar locust]

So steps were -

• Selected Golden Resonance for Reaper453
• Tried to send 4LP Armor
• Item could not be sent as Golden Resonance was not enough
• Item was not removed from Gifting UI
• Reaper453 disconnected
• Gifting UI cannot be opened as Reaper453 is not online or in a Party with you
• 4LP Armour is now stuck inside inaccessible UI

Is that right?

[sturdy flint]

yes

[faint cape]

I think it probably was supposed to dump your item back into your inventory when that UI closed

[surreal verge]

Or the floor...

Or just stuck inside

[faint cape]

Nah, unlikely the floor since there's a priority order where your items go

[cedar locust]

I'd say stuck inside like with the Crafting Forge so that Items don't get lost

[faint cape]

If your inventory was full it would pop into that gift receiving window

[cedar locust]

Can I get your Account name please?

[sturdy flint]

Inventory was not full, since I rarely picked up any item while we were partying.

Nagajivka

[storm wren]

🙃 I wish items in my set collection can find a good job one day

[sturdy flint]

acc: Nagajivka, Character: Askica

[cedar locust]

Thank you, I also want to look up the chat bug you reported. If it happens again can you submit an In Game Bug Report if you haven't already and share any screenshots you have here 🙂

[sturdy flint]

I will. Will try to reproduce the error. I think it happens if you get kick out of game (usually when I go to smoke I get kicked from game) and you reconnect without closing the game.

[cedar locust]

There is a 15 minute AFK timer

[faint cape]

They hopefully will, though if the set rework is like the unique rework (where they introduced LP), you'll need to find new set items entirely after the update

[storm wren]

what the story is?

why you need to find all unique items again after they introduced lp?

[desert tree]

Before lp, no uniques had lp. So in order to be able to slam them you would have to find them again with lp

[faint cape]

Basically just that ^
All uniques that dropped before LP existed have 0 LP

So if they change the base functionality of set items, you might need to find new set items to have a possibility of "set power" (or whatever changes on them)

[sly fable]

Iirc Mike's exact words were "it may be time to start picking up set items"

[cedar locust]

[storm wren]

🤔 ........

Well why EHG can't edit existed items in our stashes directly?

(I want ask why the random value system need us to restart that by finding them again)

[faint cape]

They can, like they did when they changed the crafting system over to forging potential. It's just a decision they make based on what makes the most sense.

For changing the crafting system, they didn't want to make all your old items completely uncraftable. But for LP, it could have been big feelsbad if you dumped all your old uniques (which why wouldn't you have) that could have suddenly popped 4 LP

[desert tree]

There is a difference between modifying an item and creating a new system.

When an Unique is changed (buff,nerf,rework, name change) the data base as a whole is changed. So thoses changes will affect every individual copy of that item.

If you add a component to the items, we'll they have been generated without so the game can't reroll all thoses items, because they have already been rolled/created

[storm wren]

😅 Not quite understand both of your meanings....

For Toast: I don't understand why players want to throw all of current items away... Dump them means they can get a 4lp? Why? What the thing is?

For Vlad: Yeah it's why I asked. I doon't know why devs can't reroll lp of them as same as these items are edit while they have new updates.

[faint cape]

Rolling random LP on all existing items would have meant you lost out on every chance to get LP on every unique you ever threw away

Since there was never a reason to collect dupes before LP, it would have just been weird

[storm wren]

I feel lp thing Toast mentioned is as same as health regeneration thing on essence... Both of them need player to find new ones, old ones can't work anymore

oh unknown things means more chances, ok

(My guessing for lp thing is EHG don't know how much lp should they give players for their items because none of results will make most of players happy so it's better to let player discover by themselves, so players can't blame the official for unfairness)

[faint cape]

Yeah, sounds reasonable. I'm pretty sure they made a good choice, I don't remember anyone getting upset about not having LP magically appear on their legacy items.

[round turtle]

hi, is it possible to target farm this item via any method?

[cedar locust]

Yep - The Last Ruin Timeline - https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAwJgnODsQ

[candid elm]

It's a Weaver's Will item, so those red text Affixes are randomly added and upgraded as you use the item.

So you'd need the item to drop, hopefully with a higher Weaver's Will number, then as you use it, hopefully get the Affixes you want randomly added.

Details on Weaver's Will items https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/weavers_will

[storm wren]

👀 your health is a bit poor

[candid elm]

In addition to what Averielle mentioned, if you're doing Circle of Fortune there are prophecies for Relics and prophecies for Weaver's Will items. Both could give you extra drop chances for maybe getting it

[round turtle]

okay, thanks guys 😄

[dusky kite]

yeah that's the play, get a few hundreds of these from prophecies and maybe one of them will be +4 of the skill you need

[grand shoal]

LOL, just discovered this on my HC main - seems I've not run Armor prophecies since early cycle here 😄

[autumn parcel]

I read that damage reflection is calculated after the player's mitigation. Is this accurate? That seems kind of counterproductive.

[faint cape]

Yes, it is. On the flip side, it ignores enemy defenses which is like minimum a 7.7x damage multiplier at level 100 lol... generally it's a really bad stat though.

[toxic echo]

% reflect is. flat reflect just exists, but it is quite small. neither are super viable to build around

[autumn parcel]

That's unfortunate. Thank you for the information.

[candid elm]

Is there any ARPG where "thorns" is good? It's not even good in D2

[lilac socket]

Crusader thorns was good in D3, barb thorns was good in D4 for a bit, and atm I think spiritborn in D4 has builds around it

[candid elm]

ty, I don't think I ever made a crusader in d3

Wait maybe I did... Anyway off topic apologies

[autumn parcel]

Are increases to Endurance Threshold supposed to be a percentage or something? Or does "Endurance Threshold +6 per point" on the Paladin tree mean that your Threshold becomes 20% of your max health + 6 HP per point? Seems kinda underwhelming if so.

[surreal verge]

Yes, it's flat numbers, not percentage.

[candid elm]

Isn't Endurance Threshold increases usually a flat number on items? There's just a few items that give the Max Health gained as Endurance Threshold %.

[surreal verge]

Yup.

[wary pasture]

is it possible to play offline with a online character? my connection is shitty lately and having some disconnections that are kicking me out of the server

[toxic echo]

no

[candid elm]

No https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1230532158578364476

[desert tree]

Someone was farming 800C with Reflect Spriggan Druid + Bees

Back in 1.0 I believe

[wary pasture]

oh didnt knew offline save files could be edited or like transfered, is that like a normal thing people do or is like bannable?

[candid elm]

Bees! 🐝

[desert tree]

Its against TOS so we dont talk about it here
Technically its bannable but it would be a waste of ressources trying to catch people
So they wont ban you but if you break your saves files you are on your own

[wary pasture]

no i mean offline files, i did a quick search and on reddit its saying the mods stated dont look into it. but im pretty new at the game so i really dont know much

[desert tree]

I know what you meant

Modding and editing save files is against TOS

You can do it at your own risk, no one from here should help you

[wary pasture]

ah ok, was just curious tbh, didnt knew that was possible in new games. seemed like a thing of the past

[dusky kite]

it's still possible and they have neither the means nor any particular desire to punish you for modifying your client in offline

but they don't particularly wish it to be discussed on their platform

[autumn parcel]

Firebrand has a stack cap that doesn't seem to be listed in its description. Are there any skills that are uncapped? I like the idea of ramping up as a fight progresses.

[faint cape]

GD does an interesting job with it, it has some skills that can scale with it like Sigeon's

[faint cape]

Yeah, and minion %reflect has also been used here. Mostly an arena thing, but probably better than flat reflect since it works against enemies that don't hit

[faint cape]

There are quite a few things that are not hard capped, yeah. I could swear firebrand's stack limit is listed somewhere.

[autumn parcel]

Not in the skill description on LETools.

[autumn parcel]

Got any cool examples? I did some looking myself and I think Maelstrom looks really appealing, but I'd love to see more.

[faint cape]

Might be in the skill's alt text, that doesn't show up in the game data pullers like LE Tools and TunkLab

[autumn parcel]

Ah, makes sense.

[faint cape]

Hmm I wish I had some good ones off hand, but my brain is mostly fried atm 😂
Ailments mostly stack infinitely, but I think you're looking more for buffs - maybe jasper's staff or eye of reen?

[autumn parcel]

I'll have to give those a look, thanks!

[cedar locust]

Have you tried partying up with ANY player and opening the Gifting Menu again? The Item should be there! It's not a fix - this is something the team are going to address - though it should get you your item back!

[cedar locust]

I give you Tunklabs Ailment list, which includes the Max Stacks number - https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ailments

For Buffs, only some of the Stack numbers are populated - https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/buffs

[drowsy heart]

When cycle ends, and character is moved to Legacy, the stash is there in legacy, but they are remove only, and you have to buy them all again?

[desert tree]

If you never bought them in Legacy yes

[drowsy heart]

really wish i had chosen legacy 😦

could care less about leaderboards.

[lilac socket]

is there an easy way to get an "Opal Ring" ? Gambler doesn't seem to have any, neither the faction vendor. I'm only after the implicits for now

[toxic echo]

gambler only goes up to item level 40...so you are never going to get one there

shops and just rng on what they spawn

[tall talon]

Hey everyone, I have a question, how do people get 999 dots stacked on bosses? The best I have ever gotten was 250 poison stack during a burst window. Is there a mechanic to stacking dots other than what's obvious?

[toxic echo]

really is no "easy" way outside of just playing the game

[lilac socket]

Gotcha, ty. So the normal vendors could have one if I'm lucky uh. Will keep that in mind :)

[toxic echo]

it very much depends on the skill and the passives you take and the gear. some builds cant get that high, but still do respectable damage

[desert tree]

Get as many hits as possible with as much poison chance as possible

[tall talon]

I did, but still couldn't even come close, and i see vids on yt with bleeds or ignites being stacks to 999 almost immediately. Is that only possible after hitting T7 mods?

[desert tree]

It really depends on your setup

What skill are you playing ?

please dont say serpent strike

[tall talon]

I tried a couple, ignite fireball black hole, warpath smite, poison wandering spirits

[sonic saddle]

In general you need a skill which is just hitting many many times a second + some method of gigaboosting your ailment chance

Typically the many many times a second is achieved through skill setups that hit a good number of times per individual skill use

Plus high attack or cast speed

Tho note that stack count ia basically unimportant, tick damage ia your actual goal

I play an ailment build in scorp nova that only hits a peak of about 120 stacks

But it's currently farming 1.5k corruption cos the damage multipliers that apply to the stacks are just that juiced

[tall talon]

Thank you very much for the explanations. Is that the beast mastery build with aspect of scorpion?

[sturdy flint]

Can't figure out the exact procedure how to reproduce this error.

But I see this "feature" every day.

[cyan jacinth]

What’s the difference between melee damage and physical damage?

[harsh ravine]

I’m declaring Formosa (Blood, Fire and Ice or something) the worst boss in the game for earning Grand Blessing that gives an increased Bow drop rate. That skinflint has coughed up 3 bow drop rate options in 12 fights - the best being 54%. Seriously 🤨

[toxic echo]

yeah, its a known bug. the social system is getting worked on for 1.2

[faint cape]

Physical damage is one of the 7 damage types (you can build resistances for these), melee is just one way to deliver damage. Melee damage can be any type, not just physical. Physical damage can be dealt by non-melee stuff, too, like spells, bow attacks, throwing attacks, or ailments (bleed).

[tranquil obsidian]

he has great drops for cold builds though

[harsh ravine]

I’m talking about Grand Blessings though - the bow drop rate grand blessing appears way less frequently than others.

[faint cape]

Heh, when you get really unlucky you won't even see the blessing you want once in 12 runs (can happen to any blessing, but always feels like it happens for the one you want most)

[storm wren]

oh new faction is relevant to weaver... Find the reason for why most of teasers ehg posted is about that thing

well I guess the highest rank will guarantee us a t7 affix on a weaver item 👀

The hierarchy is hard to think but the top rank and the lowest rank is the most easy thing

[wide sentinel]

whats the design decision here? make players waste 3 points to make a skill melee with no change to dmg?

[gusty gorge]

hey guys im trying to get this bow https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzBsEYBYCYg and it says it drops at level 64 mobs and ive been grinding this for the whole day and not a single drop it says its a common unique am i missing somthing

[desert tree]

Apparently luck

1. Make sure you are in an area lvl 64 or above
2. If you can do Empowered, go farm in Fall of the Outcast Timeline (you will find Unique Bow Echo Reward there)

[proud prawn]

i think your math is a little bit off

the cast speed is also multiplicative so you're looking at 1.48/1.32

or is it only when converted to melee?

[desert tree]

Thats not how Less work
Its x (1 - X)

[wide sentinel]

^

50% less isnt /1.5

its literally half

[desert tree]

Here x (1 - 0.32)

[proud prawn]

but it's not "less" no?

[wide sentinel]

it is, specified on tooltip

with shift

[desert tree]

"the cast speed modifier is also multiplicative"

[proud prawn]

i mean "reduce by 16% - multiplicative with other reduce" is different from "16% less"

i dont really know what's the case here tho

[wide sentinel]

is there any case of 1st wording in game?

🤔

i dont think any reduced or less works as you say in game, besides CDR

[proud prawn]

wait a sec

[desert tree]

Reduced are subtracted to the total of Increased
Less is a new multiplier (inferior to 1)

[proud prawn]

here

the wording here is reduce

tho idk how it actually works

let's check the dps calc

[desert tree]

Poorly worded imo, its must be a Less Cast Speed

[proud prawn]

inconsistent wording maybe?

yeah

[desert tree]

Yup

[proud prawn]

let's check it out

[wide sentinel]

ye it says redcues but then multiplicative

so its old wording

[proud prawn]

well then it's even worse than i've thought

[gusty gorge]

Sweet thank you 🙂

[dusky kite]

on to your real question, the design decision is fine cause there are multiple ways to trigger HH which dont rely on its cast speed, and channeling HH (omegalul) doesnt rely on it either. It's a payoff node for those kinds of builds

[jolly monolith]

Hi guys, quick question, does a skill gain/loose a "tag" when modified by the skill tree ?

I'll take Wandering Spirit as example:
Necrotic Spell DoT Area Intelligence
The node Infectious Dead converts necrotic to poison, and specifies it thus scale with necrotic damage

Does the skill also benefits from "+X to Level of Necrotic Spells" ? Does it loose the poison tag or can you also dip into "+X to Level of Poison Spells" ?

[surreal verge]

I’m surprised this one isn’t listed in it’s alt text, but if a base damage of a skill is converted, it also converts the skill tag, so it loses Necrotic and gains Poison.

[jolly monolith]

Thank you for your answer

I have not thought of checking tag box, now that you mention it, it does show up

[surreal verge]

The alt text didn’t specify the tag swap, which is curious when it’s listed in most other conversion nodes.

[jolly monolith]

I realized it appeared

but didnt think of checking, my bad guys

[desert tree]

Probably an old node

[faint cape]

Only a few nodes actually specify the tag change, mostly ones since 1.0

[surreal verge]

Damn

[exotic mist]

any1 know why in the loot filter settings we cant choose to see only an unique item like i dont want to see all the uniques items at the ground just one in particulary or uniques with lp

[cedar locust]

You should be able to do both, it would just take a lot of specificity

To show just the Paranoia Helm you would set up the Filter rules like this, with everything else set in a separate rule as Hidden. You could also put an LP minimum.

[cedar locust]

For a Filter that showed all Uniques but with a Minimum LP, you would hide everything that was not a Unique and a separate Show rule that limited the LP to what you wanted

[surreal verge]

It's on purpose you can't filter specific uniques unless you do work arounds like checking the base.

[exotic mist]

mmmh okok ty guys

[grand shoal]

Tho you can target many uniques, when you add a level check.(in addition to the base)

[storm wren]

is it old icon for runemaster?

[toxic echo]

yea

[spark crow]

Is there any update on a possible console release date yet?

[cedar locust]

Not yet, though the team still has their sights set on it!

[spark crow]

Ok thanks

[keen girder]

Hello, i got the faction on my sentinel, rank 3 atm with fortune's, but i had a Primalist at lvl 35, this activate for him automatically too ?
I know when y start a new character we can choose in the camp, but since i've already started this one, i'm kinda lost
Idk if is already active for primalist or there's a way to go back to that first camp

[dusky kite]

you can always go back to the camp and pick up the faction there

[keen girder]

Which era i can choose ? i forgot where is it

[dusky kite]

divine

[candid elm]

Yeah it's not active until you've selected one in the first town, Keeper's Grove Camp

[keen girder]

oooo, is right in the midle, damn i'm blind, tyvm both of you

[candid elm]

If you want to pick the same item faction, you can share progress and items. But you don't have to.

[storm wren]

my shaman just join in forgotten knight :)

Endurance is 28% only, loong way to go on defense building...

[storm wren]

?! wait, 100c immediately after I killed the first harbinger?... emmmmmm that's too sudden

(my memory still stay on the version that I must clear all bosses in lv90 monoliths...)

[toxic echo]

empowered always starts at 100c

it just has a harbinger gate now

[desert tree]

I guess she meant the 1st lvl 90 boss

And yes it's like that for alts

[storm wren]

I mean it's worked smoothly if my character have to clear all monoliths in normal timeline to unlock harbinger but... Current case is I just need to complete one of them so double choices I have then

1. Keep running normal timeline but blessings are weaker
2. Jump in empowered timeline immediately but I'll be slain often at the beginning

it's quite odd when your character don't have that ability to challenge harder difficulty but the game unlock advanced option for you

[marsh maple]

you can always just go to the unempowereds

if you feel like its too much of a difficulty jump

it doesnt stop you from doing that

it just letsy ou enter earlier

[faint cape]

The idea is that you're sharing stash, favor, crafting materials, etc. with a character that was already ready for 100c, no reason to hold you back if you can take it on.

[wide sentinel]

(Critical, severe and serious!) Greatly, active skill respeccing option by spending in-game gold to refund every active skill point (20 active skill points) superbly demanded (Feedback, advice and suggestion for LAST EPOCH)
Critically; severely; seriously, I greatly demanded active skill respeccing option by spending in-game gold to refund every active skill point (20 active skill points) , for example you spent in-game gold to respec an active skill you wanted, therefore you got every active skill point (20 active skill points) of the active skill returned to you. Goal is for more convenient to try active skill you want. Critically; severely; seriously, find, update, patch and expand LAST EPOCH the option

🥺

[honest birch]

What??? You can respec

[wide sentinel]

its a new meme copypasta

found this gem here

hehe

[faint cape]

It seems like less of a meme and more of just one very persistent person

[sonic saddle]

Very persistent but not english speaking

Feels like they used some very strange translator thing

Tbh, penalty-free skill respecs in town areas actually seems like an idea

Actually maybe just end of time

[storm wren]

To be honest I don't know what that means

[sonic saddle]

They want skill respecs to be a gold cost instead of xp penalty

[storm wren]

Ohhhhh thanks

[sonic saddle]

Actually that can still ve abused in party play

Hmmm

Idk

Honestly the main problem with skill respecs is early game

[storm wren]

Gold cost instead of exp penalty is an interesting idea 🤔
I don't know it's good or not

[sonic saddle]

Leveling a new skill after swapping the specialisation sucks

[sonic saddle]

It'a not, a gold cost is either impossible early or trivial late

[storm wren]

That mean min skill level is no sense

[sonic saddle]

The point of the xp penalty is to prevent switching between a fully specc'd clear skill and a fully specc'd boss damage skill at will

I think it's a reasonable thing to prevent

[storm wren]

What the relationship between spec skills and boss damage is?

[sonic saddle]

... i'm not sure why i have to explain this but some skills are better at single target damage and some skills are better at clearing groups of enemies

[storm wren]

Ohhhhhh...make sense

Yeah that's why I like frostclaw + static orb sorcerer the most.
A perfect build include single target skill + map clearing skill + defense skill

And this build don't need to stack any resistances (yeah warlock is fun but must stack Necrotic resistance is bad)

It can run the most powerful caster weapon perfectly too, wrongwrap

It's too perfect so it's the build I played for the longest time

[chilly matrix]

Hi all, been a while since ive played last epoch, how we looking on the next cycle? took diablo and poe for a spin and neither really compared to the fun i was having in LE. when does the next cycle start so i can prepare for restarting

[desert tree]

02/04 Europeen notation

[desert tree]

#news message

[chilly matrix]

thank you frend, worth coming back for a month to refamilierise?

[desert tree]

Depends on how bod you forgot ^^
I am more in the team of waiting so you dont get burn out because you played it recently but thats up to ypu

[random tapir]

man i tried installing mods for offline mode to adjust level/drop gear for myself etc to test different builds but i just can't get the shit to work 😆 anyone currently able to do this?

[desert tree]

This is against TOS, and must not be discussed here

[random tapir]

frfr?

[desert tree]

Yup

[random tapir]

ah my bad, i thought that's what true offline mode was for 😢

[desert tree]

True offline is for playing when you cant connect

No one will chase you and ban you but no one here should help you. Or at least not directly in the discord

[random tapir]

seems like it's all very outdated anyway, would be cool to have a build testing feature inbuilt into the game though!

would like to theorycraft ingame without investing days or weeks into farming uniques 😆

[chilly matrix]

go to one of the websites that lets you make builds on them, that way you can see all the gear and what itll do to your stats without breaking TOS

[random tapir]

yeah that's my plan now, would have preferred to physically test it ingame just to see how it plays

[cedar locust]

If you choose to mod your Offline files, that is your choice however if you break your files we can't help you fix them. We don't allow conversation about it in our Discord or Forums as it does break our ToS, if you take it to DMs, we aren't going to track you down or anything 😅

[faint cape]

It's how I imagine using ChatGPT as a translator would go

[glass solar]

Hello, I'm a new player with quite a lot poe experience. I'm currently playing in offline mode with a lv75 bleed beast master. Looking to make a 2nd build, wondering if there's any recommendations. Would like it to be fast and smooth, including some area clearing abilities. 😆

[chilly matrix]

i mean you could always see if someone has the gear that they could try it and let you know idk

[random tapir]

that's good to know! <3

[cedar locust]

'Monolith Farmer' Builds are gonna be the type of build you're after. Designed to screen-clear, some are also built to take on Bosses too - https://www.lastepochtools.com/build-guides/filter/language=en&tag=monolith

Right now, that's mostly Acolyte Builds. If you're not a Minion fan, though I think you might be, there's plenty of non-minion builds in that list too!

[random tapir]

ive been meaning to try minion for a while, especially after seeing current arena leaderboards

but im not sure if i like the uhhh

[glass solar]

Thank you very much 😎

[random tapir]

giant minion? idk how it works

seems like i would have to cheese extra minions to create one giant one maybe through experimental items

maybe it's cool idk

[candid elm]

For Necromancer there's the Wraithlord's Harbour Unique Helmet to have a big Wraith. Or you can have a big Bone Golem. There's also the summon Abomination skill, although it's not as strong.

[candid elm]

That's helpful for Wraithlord, but not needed for Bone Golem

[chilly matrix]

did the cycle reset?

[cedar locust]

Not yet, April 2nd is when Season 2 starts

[chilly matrix]

ah okay, was reading builds and some of them were saying something about mid season cycle reset

[candid elm]

There was a cycle reset in Sept 2024
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/last-epoch-the-imperial-uprising-event-patch-notes/73753

[chilly matrix]

ah okay

i started after that reset then so all good

[candid elm]

Well post refers to it as a Cycle Refresh, but that's what the build guide you were looking at was referencing

Although they've since changed the lingo and are calling it Seasons instead of Cycles now

[storm wren]

:(
Feel sad by it's not Apr. 1st

[harsh ravine]

Is there a way to increase the chance of Hoerot to drop 2LP bows ? That tight arse keeps dropping 0LP or 1LP bows, which aren't very useful when you are trying to blend it with an exalted bow to get the affix(s) you want. Already blown through 2 bows trying to get crit strike chance and inc. bow attack. It's not like T6/T7 with those stats drop like candy either ....I'm running the boss fight at 200c, which is about as high as my build can handle till I get the required bow stats ....

I'm CoF (Lvl 11) but I don't think any prophecies give you an LP bump

[candid elm]

The regular unique/ zero LP drops you could toss into Nemesis and maybe get lucky

[sturdy nacelle]

Do any streamers run community events? Pre-launch, I remember there being weekend race type things with class or skill restrictions

[faint cape]

No, nothing affects drop rate of "common" boss drops like reign of winter aside from the 2.5x boss drops rank. Corruption does slightly improve your LP odds, and the double LP chance rank is a significant boost.
Beyond that, it's just grinding the boss efficiently for a faster kill rate. If you have glyphs of envy, you can use those to help speed up your runs (and there's a Forgotten Knights rank that improves the drop rate for those).

[pulsar vault]

I'm gonna start playing today, any recommendations on a starter class and build guide?

[desert tree]

Class > whatever fantasy you want to fulfill
Build Guide > Imo dont start with one. Go explore whats there. Respeccing is easy enough. Only thing you cant respecced is your mastery

[pulsar vault]

Ok, thank you

[harsh ravine]

I’ve done that with a few. Most of the RoW have turned into Legendaries with an affix I don’t want 😵‍💫

[harsh ravine]

I use glyphs of envy. I think I need another 2 ranks in FK to get the glyph boost. I guess I’ll just get back to the grind and 🤞

[mossy shadow]

Goodluck Bob, kinda happy seeing your progress

Makes me wanna do better on mine.

[harsh ravine]

I’ve done things pretty much arse backwards so I wouldn’t recommend my method but I am now level 99 without the stats on the bow so it hasn’t been all bad. I jumped into a build guide before really understanding what I needed to do. Some help here in the forum and spending time to properly understand what the build guide actually said and means, plus getting the right filters setup all helped. Would have been nice to have the bow with stats by now but show me an ARPG that isn’t a grind. It all depends on how you cope with the grind to keep pushing forward. I was ready to call it a day but I got 2 exalted bow drops with the stats I want on an RoW so that give me a shot in the arm to keep going 👍

Now I need Horse boy to stop being nasty and for snake lady to be nice when I go after the crafting.

[mossy shadow]

If you mean you hunting Reign of Winter and slamming it, you just need Tier3 for Temporal Sanctum

since Reign of Winter is just a lvl 70 item

[storm wren]

@tribal meadow 👌

emmmm am I blind? I don't feel any difference...

[desert tree]

*am I blind

[storm wren]

which scene can test the difference between vertical sync on and off?

[tribal meadow]

@storm wren we were talking about 30 FPS limit

You said you don't notice different FPS or something

[storm wren]

👀 ok ok ok I reduce that

[tribal meadow]

You will see every frame at 30 FPS if you're used to 60 FPS

It's insanely jarring

Your brain will adjust and smooth things out if you play 30 FPS long enough (like console players)

[storm wren]

🤔 emmm no difference, literally

[tribal meadow]

You can't see difference between 30 FPS and 60 FPS?

Btw you need to be in game, frame limit is broken in login screen

[storm wren]

🤷‍♀️ No difference. Maybe it's the fault of my screen

[faint cape]

I can't even tell the difference unless it goes down to like the teens in FPS

[mossy shadow]

even with frame limit i set it at 144

my frame is still lock at 60 for some reason

so i just accepted it that way

[faint cape]

If you have vsync with a 60hz monitor, 60 fps is the max

[tribal meadow]

Holy moly, you people are so lucky if you can't tell the difference

[storm wren]

so the game lock at 165hz if my screen is 165hz?

[mossy shadow]

only annoying part is when sudden lag spike happen like Challenging a Nemesis

or when you get Ambush as the Ambush boss spawn, i get like spike too.

[tribal meadow]

My eyes when framerate drops to 59 FPS

[storm wren]

No difference for me to vsync on and off too

... what vsync do

[tribal meadow]

You could have default vsync on in nvidia app or something

[mossy shadow]

i have a 165hz monitor

[tribal meadow]

vsync tries to synchronize game framerate to the monitor refresh rate

@mossy shadow is it set to 165Hz?

[mossy shadow]

certainly

[tribal meadow]

Check your nvidia app, maybe it's borked in there or something, or maybe it's just LE bug

[faint cape]

Vsync prevents rerendering faster than your screen can physically display

[faint cape]

In response to this. Mobile discord be weird sometimes

[storm wren]

oh make sense

Let me off vsync

... still no difference unfortunately

[mossy shadow]

same here

well at least im consistent 60fps i guess

[storm wren]

oh... 40+ fps for me only lol

🤔 never over than 60 fps even vsync in nvidia control panel and in-game

[faint cape]

Might be a specific hardware or driver thing. I know for sure that LE can go above 60fps since I'm usually about double that.

[storm wren]

...

[faint cape]

Definitely worth submitting an in game bug report. I don't think it provides much if any tech data about your setup though, so maybe provide some of that in the report?

Not sure the best route personally, just throwing out an idea that might help them fix it

[storm wren]

But do rtx3060 laptop can support 60+ fps consistently

🤔 I have no idea

[hollow spear]

is there a good boss guide for tier 1 Julra? I went in and a big explosion one-shot me and I didn't see any safe spots.

[torn sierra]

press D to time-switch and avoid it

[storm wren]

you must switch the era. That exclusive dungeon skill

[hollow spear]

Aaaaah I see

I wanted to try and slam my boots so I went in blind lol

[storm wren]

🙃 such a pity that I can't test how much fps in poe 2 when it's running now... Need to wait 3 days at least. For the delivery of new ssd

[tribal meadow]

3060 (even laptop one) should run LE 60FPS

You can open task manager and see what's bottlenecking, if it's CPU or GPU

Lowering graphics settings might help too, I see a lot of sharp shadows in the footage

Undefeated back to back spelling champion

[harsh ravine]

But what settings are your graphics at in-game. If everything is at highest settings and your system can’t do those then FPS will never get to 60FPS

[proud prawn]

guys earlier today i saw someone posting a list of sentinel's teaser so far but i couldn't find it for the life of me

very appreciate if someone can link me back to it

[storm wren]

indeed

[desert tree]

#💬┃general message

[proud prawn]

somehow i can only see the general chat from 26/2

very weird

😅

[storm wren]

yeah my game can't keep 55+ fps consistently unless I use low quality on everything... sigh. My GPU is so weak

so 165hz screen is no sense because my gpu can't support this level of fps in any games

🤷‍♀️ Unless I can get a rtx4090 to experience

[harsh ravine]

If it makes you feel better I hardly even get to 60FPS. Mind you I’m playing via a Mac so I have to use Crossover to run Steam and Last Epoch.

[wispy gate]

Hello there, i have issue with loot finder, i am trying to install the one from the guide i am using from maxroll.gg, and when i click on download it open like this in browser. What i am supposed to do with it ?

[torn sierra]

copy/paste it into here

[wispy gate]

Thank you 🙂

[storm wren]

mac is super expensive

I can say all apple products are luxury for me

it depend how much income you have of course. I hope I can offer them freely to try different devices one day

[harsh ravine]

I have a Macbook through choice and for other things. It is by no means a gaming rig, despite what Apple may want people to believe. I wouldn’t recommend a Mac of any model for running games. One day I go get a Windows system. It isn’t perfect either but far more games will run at better FPS and almost certainly better graphics.

[storm wren]

mac for editing videos only

windows laptops can do everything else better than mac

oh. The most important sense:

To show you're rich
XD (of course no offense)

[echo forge]

Is there a way to get my chars back? Just upgraded to win11 and uhh, all my chars are gone

[toxic echo]

online of offline?

[echo forge]

Online

[toxic echo]

should be backed up in steam

[candid elm]

your offline characters should be located here, copy and paste this into the address bar in file explorer
%AppData%\..\LocalLow\Eleventh Hour Games\Last Epoch\Saves

You can also check Steam Cloud here: https://store.steampowered.com/account/remotestorage use Ctrl + F for Last Epoch, select Show Files, and you'll get a list.

[echo forge]

Thank you

[lean locust]

Is there a good video someone has done to fully use CoF?

I am on my 2nd character and getting stuck at level 100 monoliths - 0 corruption, and feel like I am missing something.

I take prophecy's to try and improve my weak gear, use lenses, etc... but still kinda jard stuck haha

[candid elm]

If you're doing the level 100 monoliths, then you're in Empowered with 100 base corruption. The regular monoliths cap out at area level 90.

For CoF, you just go over to the observatory, pick a couple prophecies that gives you extra drops of the items you want. Then complete those. The prophecies are just extra drop chances, though. So it can be still be difficult to target farm a specific item.

Example, you want a unique helmet. Pick up a couple unique helmet prophecies and complete them. You get extra unique helmet drops. Maybe one of them could be the helmet you're after.

[lean locust]

So it is still very much RNG with a touch of direction with Prophecy 🙂

Cool then I will keep at it!

[gentle harness]

Sometimes I think the incoming damage in this game is a little high

[red ember]

inb4 op is doing 2000 corruption

[candid elm]

Yeah CoF is basically just kill things and hope you get a drop you can use. You can add some additional "target" farming by running a monolith that has echo rewards that can drop things you're after, such as The Black Sun monolith can have Unique/Set Helmet echo rewards if you're looking for a unique helmet.

Or try to get some prophecies for a boss you're focusing on. Example, if you're farming for a Twisted Heart of Uhkeiros from the Emperor of Corpses boss in Reign of Dragons timeline getting some Emperor of Corpses prophecies would be nice for extra drops.

[lean locust]

Awesome! Appreciate the reply! 😄

[gentle harness]

Cleared it 😄

[red ember]

called it

[toxic echo]

i mean you could see the 3700% modifier on the screen

not like it was hidden. but 400k dmg is hilarious

[gentle harness]

Yeah, biggest hit I've died to so far

[gleaming grove]

Is it something wrong with the server

[gentle harness]

I think so - I was just kicked out twice

[toxic echo]

what server?

[gentle harness]

There's a patch, so maybe they're restarting the servers

US East at least

[toxic echo]

aight

[sturdy flint]

nope the servers are only laggy

[hexed wasp]

same here us-east had to restart game to fix 1st time about to try again

[gentle harness]

That's what I did, and it happened again

[toxic echo]

servers might just be rolling over. give it a few and try again

[quick crown]

am i reading this correctly? would any ignite chance get boosted to 400% its original value and then applied as "poison chance per second"?

[candid elm]

yes, but note it's just the fissure itself. usually you're using the fissure for the spirits it releases.

it also says the fissure gets 200% base ignite per second, plus your ignite chance * 400%. having over 100% ailment chance gives you multiple stacks, example if you have 450% chance, you get 4 stacks with 50% for a 5th.

[quick crown]

i currently have no chance to ignite

was considering if i should try to stack ignite chance instead

to get more stacks

[candid elm]

it's fine, it becomes poison so it will use your poison chance

[candid elm]

oh sure. but if you have other skills that are hitting and applying poison, you may want to keep the poison chance.

the conversion on fissure is just for fissure. the long line that opens up when you cast it. not the spirits shooting out.

[quick crown]

i do, im also using soul feast and spirit plague

so i cant have the spirits apply poison?

if the spirits cant apply poison stacks too then i might as well swap out the increased spirit frequency points in the skill and the mod on the chestplate

[candid elm]

There's two parts to Chthonic Fissure. The first is the Fissure itself, which has Fire damage over time by default, but DoTs don't hit and things like Chance to apply Ignite on Hit or Poison on Hit don't work with DoTs.

But Mantle of Flame gives the Fissure Ignite per second chance and lets you use Chance to apply Ignite on Hit to increase that. Valley of Defilement changes the Fire damage over time to Poison over time and the Ignite chance per second to Poison chance per second.

The second part of Chthonic Fissure is the Spirits that come out of it. The Spirits do Necrotic damage, they hit, and have 100% chance to apply Torment on hit. As the Spirits hit, they do get your Chance to apply Poison on Hit.

Mantle of Flame and Valley of Defilement work on the Fissure, not the Spirits. See how Mantle says "The Fissure" and Valley says "Chthonic Fissure's base fire damage"

[quick crown]

okay, so the main difference is that the fissure itself will apply 2 more poison stacks per application than the spirits

and then extra for any chance to ignite i have

meanwhile spirits only get my chance to poison

[candid elm]

Soul Feast hits. Chance to apply Poison on Hit works with it.
Spirit Plague doesn't hit as it's a DoT, but it does have passives that make it so the skill can apply Poison - Toxic Transmission passive or Bleed - Hemorrhage passive.

[candid elm]

If the enemy is on top of the Fissure, yeah.

I tried to find some Warlock Poison builds and there wasn't much. Here's one that showed up on the https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/ builds section, but it's from game version 1.0.3 so it hasn't been updated in awhile. https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/QdzM2a1o and it had a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqmgEwz46bY

Insane Poison Warlock Build Update - Must Watch! by MinMaxRPG

[quick crown]

im not sure if the planner is showing the stats correctly but this persons build seems to have lower chance to poison and poison duration than my build but better base damage

[candid elm]

yeah i was just trying to find something, but it seems like there isn't a lot of Warlock Poison builds out there. Stuff like Torment Warlock or Bleed Warlock is more popular.

[quick crown]

if my math is right then the build ive put together tops out around 10k posion dot per second (not including any poison stacks applied by the spirits or the Plague dot, not sure how many hits from the spirits i can expect, probably not enough for the damage to surpass 15k)

[faint cape]

It should work the same based on that node description (i.e., still multiplied by 4)

[quick crown]

thanks, will try to see if i can adjust my stats to get even more stacks per second

[faint cape]

I think the way it calculates that chance per second is it just directly splits it up between DOT ticks, and since the fissure itself ticks 4 times per second, at 400% per second it really means 100% applied every 0.25 seconds

you should be able to stack a few fissures on top of enemies at a time as well

[quick crown]

it seems like the only viable way to play poison build would be to stack ignite chance through this way as you can get 4 times as many stacks applied per second

[faint cape]

Poison should still get the multiplier

granted, poison is an innately weaker ailment than ignite or bleed

there is some good poison support on acolyte than might make up for it, but might not

[quick crown]

with some shuffling around i have managed to get an additional 9 poison stacks applied per second by the fissure

thanks to the 233% chance to ignite i get from warlock passives and a T6 chance to ignite mod applied to the weapon instead of poison pen that i had at first

i think the poison pen i get from the "salt the wound" gloves should be enough

[faint cape]

The poison pen you get from poison overload should probably be enough, unless I'm misremembering what it does

[quick crown]

there doesnt seem to be an entry for it on lastepochtools but in a reddit thread they say it should give 4% poison pen per stack up to 100

if thats true then yeah i wont need the gloves

however, they do give up to 15% increased poison duration which is pretty nice

and 40% damage over time

hmm i might keep the unique gloves until i have perfect rare endgame gloves, seems like they are just straight up better until that point

[faint cape]

Yeah, LE Tools and similar sites don't have the overloads or skill alt text unfortunately

[quick crown]

ok, with this setup i should land around 30k poison dot, which is much more viable than the 9-10k i had before

also, these numbers are not accounting for the 20% more poison damage to enemies affected by plague as the calculator im using cant account for that it seems

anyways, thanks for the help, ill be logging off for the night now

[surreal verge]

If you convert fissure to poison, Mantle of Flames is converted to poison, including the fact that it now looks for poison chance instead of ignite chance. An example is right there in the alt text. With this node you can make fissure itself apply like 100 stacks of poison by itself with enough chance to poison.

[storm wren]

which character are you playing

[tribal meadow]

The DLSS update might get you over 60 if you're GPU limited

It can almost double your FPS depending on the preset

[restive epoch]

Empty idol slots spotted!

[round turtle]

is Recolor sufficient enough to show the items over other rules at bottom? or do i need to duplicate like this for "Show" property?

[desert tree]

Recolor is enough

[dusky kite]

yea in fact recolor rules also being show rules trips many ppl up

[sturdy flint]

Question about prophecies: Do prophecies affect for target farming in specific timeline ? For example Fiery Dragon Shoes should be farmed in Spirits of Fire ?

[desert tree]

No

[sturdy flint]

Thank you. I did assume that since I used 200k favor for that shoes and non drop in Spirits of Fire, but in other timelines they dropped.

[desert tree]

Spririt of Fire just has those "Unique Boots Echo Reward"
But no other kind of "boons" to drop extra boots

[restive epoch]

Those boots are not a boss drop, so with prophecies you can drop them anywhere when you complete the prophecy... it doesnt give you any bonuses for the echo rewards, also no prophecies to farm boss specific uniques... some faction rank gives you a chance for extra echo reward or something like that, but thats about it

you can also try Rune of Ascendance to get the boots, as long as its not a boss specific unique (buut theres few exceptions 🤔 )
