1.2, Weaver faction... its all cool, but... who made them erased?

[sterile widget]

Who indeed

That orobyss chap is a troublemaker

[lavish dew]

I hope Weaver faction will just be a bunch of guys who hate the RNG of Weaver uniques and wanna beat her up bcos they didn't get the outcomes they want. Then Weaver will be the next pinnacle boss to fight at the end of their questline.

[sterile widget]

Hahaha

So, you're telling me the Weavers are Reddit...

[lavish dew]

They already teased one of em is a furry so yea probably

[sterile widget]

I'd slay that bird

😏

[desert tree]

Pretty sure we already did

Looks like Haruxpex Orion

[sterile widget]

Yeah it is Orion, updated in patch 1.0 or 1.1 i think. But when people start accusing everyone on Reddit of furrydom, you have to play along

[cedar locust]

[sterile widget]

Weewaw. The pun police are the fun police.

[cedar locust]

Someone has to be responsible around here unfortunately. Glad to have you back Grandpappy 😁

[storm wren]

@next sinew @warm topaz I suppose this is the reason we can't interact with this affix

EHG remove it on boots and amulets since 1.1

[next sinew]

Ohhhhh ok. Wish I could roll them off the boots then! But it’s ok, thanks again you for letting me know

[storm wren]

@grand shoal It's not solved yet

[grand shoal]

Honestly, they choose a date, and don't need the slightest reasoning.
But Ave already pointed out why EHG choose midweek for major patch releases

[faint cape]

They are intentionally avoiding April Fools. I wonder if they will even post a fake reveal the day before the patch, maybe they'll skip it this year.

[storm wren]

Can you share fake reveals they posted in past fool's days?

I'm start to doubt do EHG own a bit drama blood

Drama blood is what I want to own but never can own (so I'm bad at reading jokes)

[swift sapphire]

what is the new faction about im hyped

[faint cape]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/last-epoch-official-hot-sauce/48301

[faint cape]

To me it looks like the flagship feature of the new faction is a passive tree that lets you modify the monolith, like PoE atlas passives. One node teased was one that disables arena echoes from generating.

[storm wren]

xdddddd

EHG have sold some hot sauce?! Holy hell

[faint cape]

No, they never sold hot sauce. But Mike did a hot sauce stream. lol

[night bluff]

so unique items do not change the character look?

[storm wren]

yeah most of unique items don't have corresponding models yet. EHG said they're updating but no one know when will they finish all items

[storm wren]

How? Drink hot sauce directly?

[faint cape]

Weapons and other held items have 3d models, a helmet or two have them as well, but most armor does not yet

[storm wren]

that's amazing to get some real hot sauce from EHG one day anyways lol

But I dislike spicy food so... 🤷‍♀️

[faint cape]

I don't remember now actually, the vod is hopefully still up on youtube if you want to search for it around April 2022

[storm wren]

yeah Mike love hot sauce

[faint cape]

Oh, another April Fools post: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/pets-pals-and-puppy-love/56451
They are not super easy to find, just mixed in there with the news posts

[storm wren]

I'm not sure which part is the joke... Spine hunter?

[faint cape]

The whole thing is a joke, it's all nonsense

[storm wren]

oh it's a ps event

[faint cape]

The only part that's not a joke is the end bit where they mention Mike's monthly charity

[storm wren]

EHG gave many pictures, people can use them to ps with the own pet

2022 is the only year that Apr.1st is Friday :( I want to see more dramas acted by Mike to be honest

https://x.com/LastEpoch/status/1720171326214685115

what the hell... Mage is dancing!? hhhhhhh

alright EHG don't post anything in fool's day last year

[hallow pond]

hi there. probably a bit off topic, but anybody know if it is safe yet to install win 11 20h2 ?

[storm wren]

mine is 24h2 so no idea

[hallow pond]

it was held back for quite the time by microsoft for download. and now its available.

[candid elm]

I'm also using 24h2 and it's working fine for me.

[tribal meadow]

Best practice is to delay Windows updates as much as you can, unless it's some critical vulnerability that could affect you

2 more weeks of working computer!

[wide sentinel]

@icy drift i see the dark forces gathering

[icy drift]

lol

[toxic echo]

haha. nah. just testing out the commands and stuff

[flat kettle]

never was able to get into this game cuz i saw there was no wasd movement. has that changed?

[mossy shadow]

is this the end?

[cedar locust]

#news - Yep

[restive root]

I need help

I made a paladin warpath and dropped a very fun unique sword at like level 12 or smth, it makes me cast smite automatically almost every melee attack
now i'm at level 60 and I have no idea if a weapon is an upgrade for it or not

is there a training doll somewhere where I can test my DPS or something?

[tribal meadow]

What's the sword?

[toxic echo]

Champions gate, heoborea, divine era

[quick crown]

the pain of having decided on a build you are going to play in the new big patch already and you are itching to play it so bad you are considering starting it already

[tranquil obsidian]

unfortunately without the patch notes and the new systems, we can only speculate. It could be possible that most of the builds will need to be heavily retouched or re-theorycrafted

[toxic echo]

As it should be with a cycle reset. But if you arent trying to be on top of the meta curve...doesnt matter too much. EHG doesnt make a habit of nuking builds into the ground

[quick crown]

if the build im planning on making gets unplayable i would just go back to one of my current characters instead (unless they too become unplayable)

[quick crown]

considering he got it at lvl 12 it could only be this weapon

[harsh ravine]

I want to monitor the game network connectivity. Is there a domain name or ip address I can use to run a periodic traceroute ? The login gives me the gateway/server but no other info. Is there is client log that has such info like POE does ?

[night tulip]

when does the next cycle/season begin?

[desert tree]

April 2

[night tulip]

ty

[restive root]

indeed

i'm dual wielding sword on 2nd hand and axe on the 1st hand rn

[restive root]

thank you

[restive epoch]

Thank you game 🤓

[faint cape]

Love those. Looking forward to the charms in S2, too, lol

[restive epoch]

I quite like going through the dungeon, its usually some really ez Nemesis/Mage on the way

[faint cape]

I don't mind it every now and then, but if I am grinding for a boss drop, can't stand it

[quick crown]

is there any cap on reducing enemies resistances?
lets say i get the poison resistance shred from multiple stacks on the enemy, then i also have poison pen and then i also have aura of decay (only for reducing their resists, not for dealing damage) would i hit a cap somewhere where i have too much?

[icy drift]

No

There's no cap

[quick crown]

nice

[quick crown]

how hard is it to farm for a Vessel of Strife?

lastepochtools says it has a droprate of like 7.4%

[faint cape]

It's a bit of a grind. Only as hard as it is for you to grind T4 Julra.

(Unless you get lucky of course)

[quick crown]

i havent yet tried if i can do T4 Julra, hoping it wont be too hard as i really need that vessel of strife for my next build

[stone maple]

On CoF is not that difficult. With decent build you can get 1-2/h. but it may take a bit longer to get one with a decent conversion roll. And even longer to get lucky with the slam on it

I’d say you are looking at ~20h of doing Julra nonstop on average if you want to get one with decent roll

And slam

Also make sure that you have appropriate blessings for relics and uniques

[random isle]

Do damage blessings apply to minions?

[grand shoal]

Only the blessings that mention minions

[surreal verge]

Just like the rest of the game, only if it says “minion”

[random isle]

Can someone explain me how those eggs work? you either replace it randomly, or you need to walk with an extra legendary on hand? (the guardian one)

[cedar locust]

So if a Nemesis has an Egg of the Forgotten as one of the items in the UI, you have a few options,

• Banish: Egg does nothing, Nemesis disappears
• Challenge: The Egg will become a random Unique that drops when you defeat the Nemesis
• Empower: The Egg will become a random Unique, and when you defeat the Nemesis it will flee. On your next fight with it, that Unique will have been upgraded
• Swap: You can swap the Egg for a 0LP Unique you have (including any in your Stash), then Challenge or Empower the Nemesis. Your Unique will then get upgraded and returned

[random isle]

but how can i get the one in my stash, if i portal out my monolith is gone right?

[restive epoch]

There is a stash icon so you dont have to carry uniques in your inventory... buuuut with the memory leak quite active for a lot of players, opening stash to put unique to Nemesis egg can be pretty laggy, so better make sure there are no enemies that can kill you while you're loo king for the item

[random isle]

huh, havent noticed an icon, I'll check next timer, thanks guys

[cedar locust]

It should be in the lower left of the Egg window when youe click 'Replace' 😊

[mossy shadow]

i have more problem thinking of what unique i wanna upgrade for my current and future char. lol

[desert tree]

Need a hand?

[mossy shadow]

Its okay. I just made a tab "for egg" for those unique that i wanna Egg lol

[dusky kite]

I need a 4 lp hand for my avalanche build

the irony

[desert tree]

Hand of Judgement?

[dusky kite]

yea

[desert tree]

That fire pen do bee juicy

[dusky kite]

increased area for judgment is obviously the most important stat

[faint cape]

Yeah, this is just my 0 LP/WW tab. If it's got no LP and not worth egging... then not worth keeping, either.

[mossy shadow]

I made a category for collection alone. I keep one of every Unique of the highest base for collection....

while having a different category + tab for egg and unique i plan to use.

I like to organize my stuff lol

[restive epoch]

I have one tab for Harbringer uniques to throw to egg and then another tab with non-harb uniques to egg... but not enough eggs

[mossy shadow]

if we saw a 5 exiled mage area

what if there is a 5x Neme area too

🤔

[tired relic]

i dont see the negative part of that one

farming spots ! yay! 😄

[cedar locust]

The question is - Do you fight them one at a time, or all at once?

[mossy shadow]

5x Poison Neme all at once 💀

[cedar locust]

Oof, no thank you 😂

[harsh ravine]

You can get more than 1 Exiled mage in an echo ?

[mossy shadow]

we talking about the season 2 trailer

[restive epoch]

I think it was just the same object that holds that champion boss sealed, so you have to click those prisms to let the boss free so you can kill it 😄 my wild guess

[harsh ravine]

Ah - I did watch it but clearly didn’t pay as much attention as I should have 😜

[mossy shadow]

well u might get distracted with a big scorpion but you can see 5 exile in 1 area

[mossy shadow]

Mike stated that "that Champion" randomly just appear.

Mike might be pulling on our leg but still 5 exile mages in 1 area

[dusky kite]

I guess it's some kind of a special location where the boss is specifically guarding the "cache" of five exiled mages

might be in one of the new echoes

[mossy shadow]

true, and woven faction has its own shop like how MG and CoF is. I would suspect those woven echoes are shop bought like with lens

and some high tier woven echoes will surely be lock via Rank

since we do see "1 new item for sale" in each rank-up

[restive epoch]

That would be way too wild 😄

[harsh ravine]

This is gonna be awesome !

[storm wren]

🤭 it'll an epic combat if I fight with 5 exile mages at the same time

And this combat will much more interesting than current one when you want to down corruption

These status guards just too silly

where should I click to check out all skills exile mage own?

[faint cape]

On the far right, Bestiary has all available info on enemies

[storm wren]

do buff from blessings apply on totems or not?

[toxic echo]

just like with gear, unless it says minions, no

[storm wren]

🤔 then it's quite odd and interesting, 112 blessings but only 1 relevant to minion...

[candid elm]

2, minion damage and minion all resistance. But yeah, there's very few.

[faint cape]

All the defensive ones are "minion agnostic", equally good for minion vs. non-minion, and that's almost all blessings

[storm wren]

which monolith can I get minion all resistance blessing?

Never hear a blessing do this thing

[candid elm]

Reign of Dragons

[storm wren]

Never know that, thanks

[candid elm]

Welcome!

[gleaming salmon]

I'm at lvl 71 necro and want to switch to wraithlord. But how do I get the build enabling helmet? Those on the market are 1mil gold which is insane for me. I tried ascending random helmets with the rune, but no luck. I feel stuck

[toxic echo]

Its a global drop...so just keep trying

Runes and unique reward echoes from monolith

[gleaming salmon]

Alright, will try. Also watching dreadful's vid on minions falling far behind other types. Should I prob try another class before we go into the next season?

[marsh maple]

Nah

you should be fine

Minions are ok, just not all of them

their is like 10% of all minions end up being good, while the 90% rest kinda are bad

if you choose the 10% you'll do just fine

that video is just talking about the 90% of minions

[gleaming salmon]

Oh, hi there! What way should I go with mine to be good? I've been playing the necro leveling one from maxroll so I can't do that bonkers scorpion. Even the wraithlord ones I see are vastly different, and I'm a new player

[marsh maple]

If you are following a maxroll guide you will do just fine

you wont have an issue at all

the minions I talked about were stuff like Summon Skeleton and stuff

[sterile sable]

not sure if this has ever been asked and answered but are they ever going to add an "adventure mode" so i dont have to constantly do the campaign?

[desert tree]

Very unlikely

[sterile sable]

dang

[faint cape]

They plan on expanding upon the campaign skipping functionality of dungeons, as well as adding more dungeons over time may make things easier. Still TBD how it'll settle out

[restive epoch]

Its not like the story takes ages to complete...

[sterile sable]

its not the time, its the constantly doing it. with echos they are at least somewhat different. i just like to get into the "endgame" content and be a grindy boy. which is why i enjoyed replying d3 and d4 seasons. got straight into things instead of having to do the same campaign for like 100th time, especially if i make multiple chars. yes there is the dungeon skip but you still have to have a key and get to that point to be able to skip.

[buoyant condor]

we are getting the ability to swap mastery in next season so that might help you do less campaign

[restive epoch]

With multiple chars, you should have nice low lvl uniques that help you lvl up alts way faster and easier

[sterile sable]

yes but again still have to redo the campaign

[toxic echo]

If you want to do the endgame...just play legacy?

[sterile sable]

new seasons are meant to play the NEW content not the same campaign for the 100th time. so if the new content is new chapters then great id be happy to redo the campaign but if its not and just mainly new echos or dungeons or bosses etc then why would i want or have to do it over again. like i said before diablo did a fantastic job with this. do campaign once and if YOU WANT to you can replay it if not you can get right into things. going to legacy i would still have the same issue. if i make a new char i would still have to redo the campaign. i thoroughly enjoy starting over in new seasons to try the new content but absolutely loath redoing a campaign ive done and read through and listened through 100 times before. Im totally fine with it taking lets say 6 hrs to level to monolith level as long as its not having to do the campaign again. so lets say unlock all waypoints and i can just go to zones and kill mobs or have echos level scale until you get to what the level they are by default( kinda like rifts in d3). ANYTHING to NOT have to redo the campaign again and again and again unless there are new chapters.

[toxic echo]

Legacy gets the same content in LE. You arent missing anything

[sterile sable]

sure i am. im missing new leaderboards, starting fresh with friends, if i play the AH faction, it restarting, etc. if i wanted to play just standard then i would. like i said before i thoroughly ENJOY starting over. not sure what you aren't getting. having to do a campaign over and over and over again isnt a fun or enjoyable thing.

[sly fable]

Adventure mode is... well, when d3 introduced it, they basically deleted the campaign. Adventure mode was faster, so everyone did it.

A smaller team shouldn't be expected to spend their effort on a campaign and then create a system to just invalidate it

[sterile sable]

that's why i asked if they ever would. i didnt expect it to come out tomorrow. was wondering if there was any talks of adding it in the future. and also everyone still gets to experience the campaign and their hard work. if it were like lets say SWTOR where you had choices to make within your story that changed then that would be different. but its the same thing over and over and over again. no different choices no new dialogue

oh since there is dungeon skipping your point is a little bit mute since you can still skip some of their efforts with the campaign.

[restive epoch]

It became absolute circus in D3... lvling from 1-80 in 2mins... great game 😄

[sterile sable]

yeah i didnt like that aspect lol.

[restive epoch]

Overall going through the story in LE should be a bit better in 1.2 and most likely even better in 1.3 whenever that one launches... still takes several hours I guess, but still way easier and faster than PoE or Grim Dawn

[sterile sable]

poe is pretty fast. poe 2 on the other hand yikes! i mean even if they added like a click through or space bar through dialogue like poe 1 that would help but having to click the choices sucks

[faint cape]

LE is even faster than PoE, and you don't need to even really do the whole LE campaign as it is now. It's probably the best new character experience of all ARPGs currently for me. Hopefully it will continue to get better with alternate stuffs.

[sterile sable]

i hope so too! love the game

[worthy summit]

@sterile sable the campaign takes like 5 hours max if you know what you're doing (without any leveling gear), people probably can do it even faster.

so not a issue at all, just get good at the campaign and skips

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gxi5Km09zPo

this guy did it in under 2 hours lmao

hopefully they never touch the campaign again or if they do only very slightly. The game is in need of things to do in the endgame, not adventure mode or anything else related to the campaign...

[faint cape]

They plan to add 3 more chapters, for a total of 12. But depending on how they do it, it may not make any difference for new chars.

[sterile sable]

again i understand it doesn't take that long to do. it usally takes me around 4-6 hrs depending without skips. that isnt the issue. how many times must i say i dont want to have to do it again and again. it could take an hr and my response would still be the same.

once is enough unless they are adding chapters

the game isnt a RPG. it has the same story and same dialogue. no different choices or paths to make it different. which is why it is an ARPG. if i wanted to play a campaign game id go play something like BG where my actions actually make a difference and change the story. so there is replay ability. where as ARPG it is all based on grinding and the "endgame"

[candid elm]

can post that here #1210281911872786482 or #1210282176680169562

[stone island]

How long should it be to speedrun until lvl 70 starting with gear on lgc? 2-3h is good or nah?

[sterile sable]

It could be 50hrs as long as I don't have to run the campaign again. I just want to kill hordes of mobs and get gear not follow the same campaign again to get to the grinding part.

[sterile sable]

I would watch that vid rec snake posted

[stone island]

Getting through the campaign with the dungeons and gear is pretty easy i feel like and maybe it can be 2-3 hours.. why not do that and then not need to run back to do the idol slots and all this?

[sterile sable]

Starting a new season you won't really have that option right away. I just don't want to have to do the same old story again if I don't have too. Weither that be dungeon skips or not. If they come out and say they will never add a full skip then that's fine and I would shut up haha. I did same thing with Poe and they stated they would never add a skip. So I just keep it too myself with the frustrations about having to do it yet again. I just want to map haha

[quick crown]

uh, is this missing texture thing a known bug?

[drowsy jungle]

What kind of Experimental affixes we can craft? Or it’s all random?

I mean where i can find a list of all Experimental affix

[blazing glacier]

deterministic https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/insight

[drowsy jungle]

Thank, imma look into

[drowsy jungle]

Will this procced smite use my own smite level? Or it’s different

[toxic echo]

Procd skills will use the specd version if it is specd

[drowsy jungle]

Thank you, then it’s kinda weaker than mine

[candid elm]

Eagles was saying it will use your Smite.

If you didn't specialize Smite, it still works - just with the regular base Smite used.

[drowsy jungle]

He said speced version, or am i get it wrong

[faint cape]

Specced means using all the nodes you selected in the skill's specialization tree

[drowsy jungle]

Cool, thank to all

[wicked fog]

endurance + armour, endurance + armour,, endurance + armour 🙏

Nice, Eterra heard my praying

[grand shoal]

For storm totem?

I would not slam flat Armor on this beautiful shield in any world. But if this is for storm totem, I would in addition really recommend to slam chance to shock attackers as exalted

[steel blaze]

Can Omnis drop from the catchup Orobyss echos near the start of a timeline?

[grand shoal]

Quite sure it can't. We did a lot of 200+ catch-up Oros and never saw one

[steel blaze]

Seems that way. I've been doing them all day at around 350-500 corruption and never saw one

[grand shoal]

I think I've already never seen one in a +6 node in general, even when it was an outside +6

[steel blaze]

seems like you can get anything else. Got a shattered chains and 2 3 LP rings

[quartz iris]

Anyone got tips for being 1 hit...

[blazing glacier]

We do know that distance scales Shade drop-rates, it's possible there is some defined "minimum distance" for certain drops but to me it seems more likely that it just scales by some amount

[grand shoal]

He always drops at least a ring (3 if you are cof)

[steel blaze]

Yea seems like you have to farm it the hard way

Thanks for the help

[blazing glacier]

Also if you've only dropped 1 belt your sample size probably isn't big enough to properly determine anyway

[desert tree]

Hard to say without more context and a planner but

• Don't over cap your res

• Build Crit Mitigation (Avoidance or Reduced Crit, not both at the same time)

• Build more Hp, or more ward generation/retention

• If you are Hp based, Endurance is really strong

• Last one, dodge big aoe on the ground

[blazing glacier]

dont forget armor and DR

[quartz iris]

I have reduced my res
Increase the crit avoid by bless
my HP is 2300, ward 450 and retention 121%

should I change DR to glancing blow?

[quartz iris]

well thank for your suggest, finally complete

[storm wren]

Known and fixed for Season 2! 🙂

[clear rain]

Hello ppl, I went back to the game ahead of season 2, been playing other stuff, and I lost all the progress I had made with merchants guild, did this happen to everyone? Also, did the Devs made it more difficult to lvl up? It took me ages to go from 95 to 96, I am doing the endgame on 120/150, depends.

[dusky kite]

merge your previous season stash into your legacy stash and it should merge your rep too

yes they also made levels beyond 90 a slog

[quartz iris]

I am wrong or this quest this give me a belt and clove 16 weaver will

[storm wren]

armor = golves/body armor/boots/helmets

tricky text here 👀

[quartz iris]

[storm wren]

I want to ask a question about prophecy too.

Any ways available for 100% find this champion or I only can meet it randomly?

[quartz iris]

randomly

sure

[storm wren]

ok 👌 This is the reason I dislike this type of prophecy

[restive epoch]

ye I legit hate those especially with the 'body armor' icon...

[storm wren]

I believe not only me cheat by that yeah

[quartz iris]

nice behind ten boss in end of time there is one more

This amber is the one which has a circle around not any ember

[dark flame]

Do we know if all the coming content and qol updates with cycle 2 will also be added to legacy mode?

[cedar locust]

Yep! No split between Seasonal and Legacy content 🙂

[dark flame]

Awesome, thank you for the response, I don't have to start from zero!

[cedar locust]

Nope! I'm a big fan of Legacy 😁 I will always make a Seasonal Character or two, but I'll never give up my OG Rogue

[blazing glacier]

Just another pointer but crit avoid is kinda either 100 or 0, if you don't want to randomly die, iirc crits roll 2x damage by default so if you do get one it's going to have much bigger spike damage than you would see from uncapped resists etc.

Being capped crit avoid OR high crit damage reduction is probably the #1 defense priority in LE.

Also that unlike most other ARPGs LE calculates resistances assuming 75% monster pen. That essentially means that in LE 70% resists vs 75% means you take 5% more damage unlike other arpgs where you would take 20% more.

Usually I prioritize other layers of defense before worrying about res cap

[desert tree]

I try to get around 50% ish quickly than I add other layers

[storm wren]

Unfortunately the internet is broken, I can use mobile data to access inernet only so I have no idea can I watch the stream

Rainy day is bad

[faint cape]

Crit chance is only 5% or so, tbh unless I'm playing HC I just mostly ignore it until I start going above 100c. I get some when I can, but it's definitely not a priority for me.

[storm wren]

do this gameplay (charge the bacon by staying in the circle) out before or after D4 is launched?

I think back to blood pillars in d4 suddenly, similar rule but the difference is I need to active 4 magic circles

[candid elm]

I think they're just similar. Lots of ARPGs have "stay in the circle" type of events. PoE had a whole league, Ritual, in 2021 involving staying in the circle which was later also added to the base game and is in PoE2 as well. Edit: Ultimatum League as well was staying in the circle.

D4 released in June 2023.

Last Epoch's was available in early access a long time. I started playing in 2022 and I'm pretty sure those were in the game back then. The EA was going on a lot longer than that, though, since 2019. But I don't know when that particular beacon was added to the end game monoliths.

[faint cape]

They were added when mono webs were introduced, which was a reeeally long time ago

Or at least it feels like a long time lol, definitely before D4, but yeah it's not a groundbreaking mechanic for either game

[candid elm]

Yeah probably at least since 2020 as here's a post about upcoming changes to it https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/end-game-system-update-monolith-of-fate/21650

[faint cape]

That looks like the precursor system they had before the webs
Edit: looks like the echo webs were announced May 2021

[candid elm]

Thanks for checking!

[restive root]

can someone please tell me what's this lich skill that creates a little ball that shoots necrotic lightning?

[lavish dew]

I think you mean a circle with necrotic laser beams right? That is Drain Life with the unique Stygian Coal catalyst which changes it into Stygian beams https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAwRgrAzATAHEA

[restive root]

oh

it only attacks stuff that's in the circle like regular drain life?

I thought it autoattacked everything.......

i'll search for something else that does stuff automatically

thank you ♥

[quick crown]

do we know if, in the new update, to reroll a legendary item, it needs to be the exact same item? i.e. if i want to reroll the numerical values on a pair of legendary Julra gloves, do i need another pair of legendary Julra gloves or can i use any legendary gloves?

[candid elm]

You mentioned Lich earlier. Death Seal can cast Hungering Souls automatically with the Devouring Souls passive. Although Death Seal does have a CD, so it's not up 100% of the time.

[storm wren]

1. Balance damage from different runic patterns to let players free to select what are they like instead of which one is the most strong, build more connections on gears of runemaster so it can interact with sorcerer/spellblade with less blocks when thinking the own build.

2. Cut connections on necrotic resistance and chthonic fissure so this mastery can get out of control from stacking necrotic resistance and a series of problems bring by single resistance is overwhelming.

These're what I think at the first time.

(Both of warlock and runemaster is mastery I enjoyed so much before I figure out the essence of how to running their builds and I can't go on enjoying after I learnt more)

[static root]

cast speed from frenzy multiplicative or additive on top of normal cast speed?

[shut walrus]

does anyone have a good loot filter for Spellblade mage? my guide doesn't have on attached

[restive root]

that sounds pretty good, thank you
i'll try to build around dat

[desert tree]

Additive

[spare yoke]

any idea why last epoch freezes on loading screens and sometimes crashes when joining other players?

[static root]

hoped on multi but thanks! 😋

[desert tree]

Sorry,
Frenzy is Increased As and Cs

So Additive with other Increased

[static root]

Yeah fair

[blazing glacier]

Was it confirmed that "reroll the numerical values" it what it does?

[quick crown]

no definite confirmation from what i know of no, but what else could it mean? that it replaces a stat on the unique item with a weaver stat? that could potentially brick a unique, considering this can be done with uniques too not only legendaries based on the wording of the text

so being able to sacrifice a unique/legendary of the same type (or even the same item itself) to being able to reroll the numerical values seems like a nobrainer and massive quality of life

even if what you can reroll doesnt include the legendary stat itself

[blazing glacier]

Well in the ask devs, a week ago Mike stated that the amount of LP could go up or down from this process iirc

I'd be happy if it was a "reroll numerical", but I think it might be something totally different

it also works on set items so maybe what it does is different for different types of items

[quick crown]

from that it sounds to me like it rerolls the item completely

implicits, normal stat values, LP all of it

[blazing glacier]

I really hope numerical reroll isn't tied to some sort of LP reroll

That would mean your chance of success is 1 in (Chance for good roll * Chance for correct LP or whatever * etc)

[gilded dome]

It is another chance to get desired LP and/or roll on otherwise "bricked" uniques. It will drive attainable LP values up.

Just like nemesis did.

[blazing glacier]

Sure it's still a win, I am just saying it would be annoying if rolling LP hypothetically would also force you to roll the numeric values. For some items (Like Prismatic Gaze, Strands of Souls, etc.) a bad roll makes the item basically trash, for other items the roll barely matters at all.

It just means that depending on the uniques your build uses you could have a harder time reroll than a different build with equivalently "rare" uniques

[quick crown]

i frequently get uniques that have trash roll but more than 1LP, meanwhile i get super nice roll on items with 1LP or no LP

[candid elm]

zero LP you can use with Nemesis

[gilded dome]

Yeah, no cherry picking good rolls like we can with nemesis. But any bad rolls can be thrown in to get closer to your goal. Even if it's a good roll with no lp, nemesis it up. Or if it's bad both way, just go again. You wouldn't use it anyway.

[spare yoke]

is there any difference between the current cycle and legacy?

[faint cape]

Aside from economy, no

[spare yoke]

thanks!

[severe laurel]

with the game having less players now, is it still worth going MG or should i just go with COF?

[harsh ravine]

Playing a Blast Rain MM build. Just finished all Harbingers, so can do level 300 corruption. I've had my butt handed to me twice by Aberroth when attempting the fight. I can get by the start with the 2 Harbingers. Then I start firing at Aberroth as he comes down. The whole area gets funky and I die. This is before he does the arena wide thing so it isn't that. I'm staying behind him. It says I'm killed by Physical and Void dmg. My Void resistance is capped but Physical is at 72%. Should I get Physical resistance to cap and beyond and try again ?

[blazing glacier]

72% vs 75% is only 3% more damage taken

it won't make the difference

Armor helps with phys, also just getting more ward / hp / etc

[toxic echo]

while he is charging his mace slam, there is only a small section the the arena where you can stand...normally in front of him. then he does the mace slam/timewave

[harsh ravine]

I figured the resistance probably doesn't make a difference, so I'm getting hit by something I fail to see. My build looks like this at the moment - https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/QdP8x3YQ

[toxic echo]

the only things he has thats both phys and void, is the area while he is charging the mace slam, the actual slam and his mounst charge

[harsh ravine]

I'm dying before the time wave, so maybe it's the slam, though that is odd since I'm behind him. I guess I should try being in front

[toxic echo]

yeah while he is charging his mace, there is a circle in front of him where you are supposed to stand. the rest is aoe dmg

[harsh ravine]

I only have 8 eyes left to play with to get it right 😜

[blazing glacier]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/npc/Aterroth I think this is fairly accurate?

[toxic echo]

yeah thats accurate

yeah you just gotta stand in front where he is slamming...and just dash/run away before the wave catches up

[blazing glacier]

Does Rogue have any hard CC? I forget

you can interrupt that attack

Just to clarify, you are talking about this ability at 1:05 https://youtu.be/eMhMTDxHFSg?si=e8yrM3UuqzVsNHwW&t=65 right?

[harsh ravine]

I've been watching this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oG_-NODLMns At 2:28 is basically when I die but I've bee nbehind, not in front, so I'll give being in front a whirl

[blazing glacier]

oh that's a timing one

he does one turn then stays aimed in the direction

just wait for the turn, then evade from the front of him, to the back

[harsh ravine]

Thanks for the suggestions. Not sure I'll pull this fight off but will give it anotehr kick of the can

[sullen summit]

Frozen, do you only play with mages?

[stuck bluff]

Do we know when patch notes are gonna drop?

[blazing glacier]

lmao lately it seems like that

[surreal verge]

If we’re folloing 1.1, full patch notes only drop a day before the patch/ during the manti

[faint cape]

No, but if I was a betting person it will be 31 March at 1100 central time

[stuck bluff]

awww ok, ty

[sullen summit]

😁

[restive root]

Is it worth to do tier 1 dungeon? I just dropped a key at act 5 or smth

Lightless Harbor

or should I just save it for when I get to level 65

i'm level 36 rn

[blazing glacier]

did they change it? You always had to do T1 before doing T2, then T3, then T4 unless you get a taxi to unlock

[restive root]

oh I didn't knew that, never did a dungeon before

i'll do it right now then. thank you!

[faint cape]

I think you can bypass some lower tiers by greatly overleveling them, don't remember specifics though

[blazing glacier]

that must be new then, because I remember needing to do T1 lightless at some high level, then getting someone to taxi me into a T4, doing it and unlocking all of the tiers

[faint cape]

Lightless might even be the only one you can skip T1 on, can't remember any others doing that

[storm wren]

Question: why I get 4 gazes only with double needles?

oh... It consume single needle only... Nevermind

[whole moon]

Will the tombs of the erased be available for the offline game on 2nd april as well?

[surreal verge]

Yes, no cycle or online only content. It’s base game content

maybe uber abberoth will be locked for non-cycle until a cfmed online cycle kill, but otherwise everything is open

[drowsy jungle]

If the passive of Void Knitght change Smite to Void, then, fire dmg in the Node will count?

[desert tree]

Which one?

[drowsy jungle]

The Righteous Fury node

[buoyant condor]

Thats a good question, I don't think it does convert the flat melee fire damage

[desert tree]

Nope, doesn't convert

[quartz iris]

Anyone got drop fps when fighting the corruption boss?

[restive epoch]

Shade of Orobyss? Yeah... after few hours of playing its better to restart the game, but Shade is still quite lagging

[drowsy jungle]

Damn, then Smite isnt work well with void build

Anyway, erasing strike erase them all

[desert tree]

With Void Melee, meh for sure

Void Smite Spell ❤️

[jovial barn]

Soo does the spirit wolf node in the wear bear tree work on squirrels? Asking for a friend

[quartz iris]

Yeah, some skills make me lagging

[desert tree]

You mean inside Swipe?
Then yes

They shoot spirits squirrels

[jovial barn]

Sorry yes meant swipe . Pretty cool. Only thing I don't like about the idea is it puts the 2 second cool down on swipe

[grand shoal]

The node that makes swipe to have a 2sec CD is not the one with Spirit Wolves?

[buoyant condor]

There are two nodes that have Spirit wolves one with the proc rate of 100% behind the 2 sec cd node and one with 15% scaling to 45%

[desert tree]

You don't have to
As PrivateJole said

[faint cape]

The one everyone uses is the one without the cooldown

[faint cape]

(My above comment probably better directed to this message)

[primal prism]

Anyone know why I can't see my own text in global chat, but others are answering me? any way to fix ?

[cedar locust]

Can you please press H to open your Social Panel and then check your 'Blocked' players list? If you see your own name there can you please submit an In Game Bug Report, let me know, then use the /unblock command in the in game chat to fix it

[restive epoch]

When that happens to me, I exit the game and log back in, which works... but Ive never checked If Ive actually blocked myself (even tho I havent really interracted with chat)

Do we know If that "bug" (I guess?) where chat sometimes randomly swaps from 'global' to 'help' or some other one, will get fixed? Its kinda minor, but its pretty annoying 😄

[cedar locust]

Please IGBR for both of those if you aren't already, the first is proving an annoying one to track as it's not affecting everyone 🥲 the second is also rare

[cedar olive]

I have a question about Harbringers. Is there any way to reduce their level? I'm struggling to defeat one and would like to farm a more manageable version.

[primal prism]

Yeah, I'm in my own blocked list

[toxic echo]

there is not

[cedar locust]

Please submit an In Game Bug Report for me, we are testing a fix for this internally but more data always helps!

[cedar olive]

That is... a terrible information 😦 but thank you

[restive epoch]

You can really only reduce corruption, which will scale down their health and damage, if you mean that... 😄

[cedar olive]

That's exactly what I mean, but unfortunately, I can't do that because the checkbox is grayed out

[lean locust]

Any advice on the temporal sanctum boss on highest tier?

I keep getting the boss down to about 50% but the speed of the AOE or lazers is rough when I am shifting in and out of the phases

[blazing glacier]

I'm confused, you lower corruption in the sanctuary node at start of echo web, is that what you mean?

[cedar olive]

Sorry for the confusion. I need to defeat the last Harbringer right now, which requires 300 corruption. He's too strong for me to handle, but I want to farm him for the items I need to get stronger. I lowered my corruption to 200, but I can't fight him anymore, possibly because of the Forgotten Knights faction quest.

[blazing glacier]

Ooh I see what you mean, yea that's unfortunate 😞

[surreal verge]

After clearing the quest, each harbinger does still need a higher corruption, but it could be just +1 higher than the last one

[blazing glacier]

I think it's just +25 per for the first 10 then it doesn't matter, no?

[surreal verge]

It still needs to be higher from the last kill iirc, but it can be any number

[cedar olive]

Well... there it goes... thanks. I guess I need to find alternative items/build 🙂

[faint cape]

No, once you get the "formal" kill (i.e., guaranteed eye, checks the box on Forgotten Knights menu), you can lower corruption to 100 or whatever and grind endlessly

If the harbinger is checked off on FK and you can't get it to spawn at 100c, that is a pretty serious bug, please report it

[blazing glacier]

That's what I thought, that still means you would be "locked out" of whatever harbinger you saved for last until doing it at 300c then right?

[blazing glacier]

If you are not SSF you could ask someone to kill it for you, my only thought

[faint cape]

Yeah, you have to be able to do it once during the quest progression and after that it's "unlocked" to farm freely

[cedar olive]

Tried that, no luck so far 🙂

[faint cape]

So if there's one that you know you want the unique from or need it to enable your build, definitely make that the first or second harb you do

[blazing glacier]

That and it's also best to save the easier ones for last, eg. Lagon one is a struggle

[restive epoch]

If your quest asks you to kill harbringer at 300c, you reduce the corruption below 300, does the game even lets you spawn the harb but killing it wouldnt progress the quest? 🤔 I have no idea 😄

[faint cape]

Yeah, I save all the big bois for last if I can

[cedar olive]

that's the point - it won't let you fight with harb

[blazing glacier]

The melee hammer guys? I find the skinny ones harder

[faint cape]

Exactly yeah

[blazing glacier]

I guess it depends on your build

Kiting big boy is easy for ranged

[faint cape]

It might yeah, but the brutes are generally easier than agile

[whole moon]

thank you for the response, will I keep my current offline character to play the new content then ?

[restive epoch]

If you play Legacy and not SSF/HC, I can kill it for you If you want 😄

[blazing glacier]

I think it's safe to assume not HC anymore, if it was before xd

[faint cape]

Easy for both really, though spirits of fire and BFD ones make some big death zones that can make them annoying for melee, those are the only big boys that are tough imo

[dusky kite]

fall of the empire is the single most annoying harbinger by far

3 death zone abilities

[blazing glacier]

The lagon arena though, small arena with waves

[dusky kite]

• thin harbinger kiting you if you are melee omegalul

[restive epoch]

With Shift I just shift behind the boss, running together with spinning lasers is suicidce... just have to avoid her water attac aaand sometimes she casts that lightning circle on the ground which might hurt... but I also stun the hell out of bosses below 700c, so t4 Sanctum is ezpz now... Id say t4 bosses are kinda dps check, you dont really want to be there for way too long

[faint cape]

Yeah but that's a small harb

All the small ones are scary

[restive epoch]

waves casually deleting me from existence with 4-5k hits... yeah... 😄 and the boss dashing outside out arena while still blasting you is just great 😄

[dusky kite]

lagon isnt so bad in comparison, maybe the waves are hitting too hard on high corruption idk

she has a skill that turns her into a training dummy for like 6 seconds

while she is channeling the beam

[blazing glacier]

Lagon isn't hard but the harby with all the stuff plus small arena is annoying

[dusky kite]

same for the stolen lance harb

you can also position lagon harb into the corner in such a way that she doesnt move too much

no such luck with thin harb on bigger arenas

[faint cape]

Worst harb for me is Harton's, the whole ground is just purple and I don't know what's going on lol

[restive epoch]

I just run away on the other end of arena, avoid void charging aoes from ground and its fine... and definitely gotta kill the Idols of Ruin before harb spawns 😄

[blazing glacier]

I think I just waited to be stupid strong before fighting some of those on HC then just slammed them

[faint cape]

Solid HC strat for sure

[dusky kite]

thats the fall of the empire one I mentioned above

worst designed harb fight by far

[restive epoch]

Nah I'd 100% vote for Lagon harbringer.... oooor I really dont like Emperor of Corpses harbringer, for me he loves spawning at the edges of arena, standing inside of his own necrotic aoes, blasting you with his necrotic dragon breath... 😄

[faint cape]

Yeah, hate it. I farmed Lagon one a lot for black blade and never felt it was nearly as bad

[gleaming salmon]

Is glacier really the bis skill for sorc leveling? It feel kinda clunky to use tbh

[blazing glacier]

Assuming you have no leveling gear probably. Just make sure you have some added flat damage and it pretty much oneshots everything.

I think FC could potentially be used early since the damage scaling is technically higher than Glacier with a few nodes allocated

[surreal verge]

It’ll be sent to legacy, but otherwise yes

[blazing glacier]

Oh wait volcanic orb

I see dread typing xd

[marsh maple]

So I actually have done some testing on this. Because of the Mastery respec coming, every character can level as a Sorc which means you can always get that massive 30% more damage when you get your mastery, and also as well the fire and forget nature of glacier tends to be better for speeding through the campaign.

Volcanic orb is ok too

but usually using a glacier, tping to the next screen feels a lot better than having to cast frost claw a few times in a row because the area isn't as big as glacier's is early on

also you can spec Frost Claw to give your glacier like 144% pen and aoe early on

[blazing glacier]

I can't speak for pre spark charge but I know post level 51 it's not even close, FC by a Mile

The overlapping spark is a big part of that though

[marsh maple]

Well I mean the writing is on the wall for that node

[blazing glacier]

Yep

But even still the FC single target scaling is over 1500% technically

Up to 2500%

[marsh maple]

Well yeah but usually when your leveling, the single target isn't even the issue. Its just clearing

because you need to be speeding while also clearing

you lose a lot more time clearing then you do with slightly less fast bosses

[blazing glacier]

Plus if you happen to have any on hit which is probably less reliable, you can do mant stacks, but yea it's probably better to just use for shred to boost Glacier on single target

[marsh maple]

this node just lets your glacier hit the whole screen

it will be even stronger when we get our Gambler's Fallacy back

when we can go reverse explosion

[blazing glacier]

Yea you'd know better than I would for the leveling, I'll trust you on that one

[marsh maple]

and have the big aoe always hit first, always crit and a gigantic aoe with all that cold pen

[gleaming salmon]

Well it's not about one shotting, dps is there absolutely, but the nature of the skill. It's a delayed damage that feel off. Esp with fast moving or frequently teleporting enemies and bosses.

[marsh maple]

when you are leveling that is barely a factor

almost everything crawls or is super slow

and while your running through monoliths to empowereds, the strategy currently is to kill big packs on the way to the boss/objective and ignore enemies you don't wnat to deal with

you usually teleport/run straight pass stuff like Ospirix raiders cause they aren't worth killing

[blazing glacier]

If you do big one first it's not so delayed

[marsh maple]

we just dont have easy access to this version because we don't have access to gamblers fallacy because people kept abusing it for infinite gold

[blazing glacier]

Curious if Glacier is on the chopping block for nerfs

Maybe numeric tweaks? Idk if the mana thing is a problem or not

[marsh maple]

I mean it has existed for what

4-5 years now in this state?

I mean for leveling btw

endgame glacier isn't as much of a menace

mana stacking itself is the issue imo

not glacier

you were probably never meant to get to such high amounts of mana

[blazing glacier]

Is it even a problem if you can't convert it into ward so efficiently, or oneshots with static orb?

Also make static orb damage use current mana

Then you need to solve another problem in a clever way instead of brrrrr mana brrrrrrr

[marsh maple]

No this is a problem that will continue to be an issue into the future of the game

It won't just be sorc that abuses massive mana counts

its just the most recent

[blazing glacier]

True.

[marsh maple]

Because the biggest change they could do is kill off focus

but no one wants that

[blazing glacier]

I guess it depends on if you want the mana scaling nodes to be remotely useful for more normal builds

If you can get 3k mana then the scaling nodes need to be balanced around that, and folks with 500 mana basically don't get much value

[marsh maple]

yeah thats why this is an issue

you shouldnt be balancing the game around people who can get to 3k mana

maybe 1k

even 1.5

if your super gg geared

[blazing glacier]

What i really want is a way to scale my regen more naturally

It feels like we just use cheese for it now

Or skills cost too much idk

[marsh maple]

Actually I haven't had that big of a problem with mana regen

its just your not supposed to just run mana regen itself

[dusky kite]

its both, their paradigm of having mana be a meaningful resource is largely incompatible with the gameplay pace they want to have

[marsh maple]

you can get like up to 30 mana regen without too much effort

[dusky kite]

so "good" builds cheese mana in some way

[blazing glacier]

How are you getting 30? You talking about meteor refund?

[marsh maple]

No? Just using some uniques and some prefixes

if you need 30 mana regen on a build, its because your skill costs mana but it also does stuff

that would be more of the issue imo

does your skill actually do stuff based on mana?

[blazing glacier]

It's a pretty big investment to get that high and it's generally more efficient to solve it with cheese

[marsh maple]

a good example, base tornado costs like 30 mana or something. Base avalanche costs like 50. One skill does significantly more for each point of mana than the other

Well yeah but thats the thing, cheese

[blazing glacier]

Sure I can waste valuable prefix slots on regen but that's a big opportunity cost

[marsh maple]

they will probably end up having to change it and remove the cheese at this point

[blazing glacier]

I kinda like how in PoE regen scales with your mana pool

Then you just get a bit of extra regen and you are good

Or scale it some other way too for more juice

At least LE melee skills don't cost 1500 mana though, that's a win

[marsh maple]

with just 4 slots of t7 mana regen you go from 8 mana regen to 28 mana regen, and thats without any passive tree bonuses

thats just 4 slots

In theory if you have 30 mana regen and you still can't cast your skill enough to do damage

thats the skill's fault

not the mana regen's system fault

[blazing glacier]

4 T7s is insane cost

[marsh maple]

I don't really agree with that

if your build needs that much mana regen

its for a good reason

4 t6s go from 28 mana regen to 24

its not that big of a difference

[blazing glacier]

But at that much investment you could probably be better off with a lower cost skill and using those T7s on something else

[marsh maple]

Yes but thats not a problem with mana regen

thats a problem with the skills themselves

[blazing glacier]

T6 doesn't exist dread

[marsh maple]

???????

[blazing glacier]

That's not my point lol, yeah I agree though

[marsh maple]

Ok thank god I was about to get confused

if you cant get 4 t6s

then I have no idea what your doing

[blazing glacier]

On the same piece of gear?

[marsh maple]

No?

its across 4 seperate pieces of gear?

[blazing glacier]

Oh you mean using gear that has natural T6?

I don't do that

[marsh maple]

yes

I mean sure

you said 4 t7s was too much

so I ramped it down to 4 t6s

[blazing glacier]

I didn't mean that it's hard to get or anything

[marsh maple]

I dodnt mean all on one piece of gear

I mean on 4 different pieces

[blazing glacier]

I meant that it's a lot of valuable T7 spots

[marsh maple]

Well if you are needing that much mana sustain

like I said

it should be for a good reason

if you need more than that

that build should just get removed or changed

[blazing glacier]

Honestly I wouldn't mind stupid expensive skills that forced you to roll mana regen

IF those skills did giga damage or something

[marsh maple]

I mean avalanche is like that

thats a good example of a skill that merits you using mana sustain

[blazing glacier]

But then then you need to be careful with cheese

[marsh maple]

Like I really do think they have fixed the mana sustain issue, its just the skills that have mana costs suck half the time

But part of it too is we are spoiled on skills that do giga damage due to bugs and unintended mechanics. That does not help either

[blazing glacier]

But also finding a way to turn a downside into an upside is a big part of the fun of build crafting so maybe it doesn't need to be so simple

[marsh maple]

if I dont delete the bar in one mana bar im going to delete the game

I don't think it needs to be simple

I just think if you are in need of mana, it should be for a good reason

[blazing glacier]

I mean even static orb, you CAN do multiple rotations

But people lose their shit if it isn't a oneshot

[marsh maple]

Yeah, thats a problem EHG has let fester unfortunately

[blazing glacier]

I am still fine with using meteor to get my mana back but it feels dirty

[marsh maple]

I think unfortunately this is going to end when EHG changes Focus

I mean I think if you are using a skill to get mana back its fair

like when I spec mana strike to get like 200 mana per hit

or when I use a transform to fill my mana bar

or when I use focus

[blazing glacier]

Mana Strike has downsides at least

[marsh maple]

I just think focus + 2k mana is the problem

I think with this new mana scaling they can put it down to 20% of your missing mana

it would screw over your early game a little

but like, your using skills that cost like 50+ mana, what are you to do? 🤷‍♂️

[blazing glacier]

Dumb problem need dumb solution

[marsh maple]

I mean a solution ive been seeing a lot

and I like

make it so that instead of just giving you a generic 40% of missing mana

you get 1% missing mana back per 1 attunement you have, capped at 40%

then it still stays at the same power level

but you have to invest into it

[stone maple]

is there a new mana scaling?

[marsh maple]

instead of just having it straight out of the box

[blazing glacier]

But mage doesn't really have much attunement scaling

[marsh maple]

recently with all of the power creep of the item factions, lizards and nemesis and new uniques, your max mana on a sorc went from a fever dream of 1k, all the way to 3k if you care

Yes

its a downside

thats the point

That's like my point, it is supposed to have a downside

sure the CD is kind of one, but we have seen that isn't enough

other than that, they could make the cooldown a whole minute? We don't want to see that, do we?

[blazing glacier]

You already need some CDR, then some attunement, some max mana, then whatever skill you use needs scaling, idk.

To be fair focus is basically infinite mana if you stack unless you are using some 700 mana spell

[marsh maple]

yeah

thats why it should have such an opportunity cost

if its going to remain this strong

otherwise they are going to make it go the way of the dodo like they did with charged ground

[blazing glacier]

I'd kinda like it to be more baseline useful but less overbearing when mana stacking

[marsh maple]

I mean it can be like 10% of missing, then scaling off of it

like the details don't really matter that much, its the philosophy that matters here

[blazing glacier]

Also the penalty if you accidentally use it right as your mana goes above 0

Really annoying lol

[marsh maple]

I mean thats the same downside of not hitting with cooldown mana strike 💀

[blazing glacier]

Mana strike cooldown much lower and less impactful per use

Focus is like

[marsh maple]

well yah

[blazing glacier]

Oh god I miss rip me

[marsh maple]

but you have to be in melee

you dont have to be in melee for focus

[blazing glacier]

Tru

For me it ends up being mana strike early

Eventually transition to focus

Kinda no other way

Leveling with meteor refund feels good though, the base damage is high enough to oneshot some packs while zooming

[marsh maple]

thats fine, thats not a big deal

theres always going to be metas for that

[knotty tinsel]

I'd happily give up a lot of mana if pressing focus at 1 mana still gave you the boost lol

feels kinda odd that actual mana recovery is only a small part of its tree anyway

[blazing glacier]

That's because it's actually a giga broken dps skill

In disguise

[knotty tinsel]

IDEK if lightning wave is usable at all

[blazing glacier]

It is, I was able to do some 1K corruption with it

Some arcane ascend + mobility skill cheese

And fractured crown cause why not

[lean locust]

Makes sense, thankfully I just got a 2nd upgrade on my Smoke Weaver.

It is making a massive difference!

Kill quickly or have a bad time 🙂

[tribal meadow]

Double dungeons when?

[frozen loom]

Hi, I have a quick question, I wanted to use Glyph of Envy to increase the stability in Normal Echo, but for some reason it always increasing the stability only in Empowered one, is it expected once Empowered echoes are unlocked ?

[tribal meadow]

You shouldn't be wasting them on regular monoliths, better use them on Empowered so you can farm bosses or something

[frozen loom]

yes and no, I have no problem with boss, but on empowered also Harbingers spawn which is problematic for me at the moment, wanted to farm quickly the boss on normal mode, but in my opinion Envy does not work correctly here

[buoyant condor]

there is a check box when you click the timeline boss fight that turn of the spawning for harbingers in empowered

[median zenith]

Once empowered is unlocked for a timeline, Glyph of Envy will always upgrade the empowered difficulty for it.

#❔┃ask-the-community message

[runic elbow]

how can I unlock shadow cascade? what is the 5 on the icon

[buoyant grotto]

What are the best good builds that can reach more than +7000 corruption ?

[knotty tinsel]

5 levels (or more) on bladedancer's passive tree. You can't do that until you've chosen any of the classes (story progression).

[runic elbow]

I have picked the bladedancer passive

how do I get points for bladedancer tree tough

[knotty tinsel]

real answer: this is not a realistic expectation to have, as you need to invest an insane amount of time to get here and it doesn't pay off at all.

literal answer: Probably something abusing sorcerer, but we assume it's getting nerfed in 1.2.

[knotty tinsel]

from leveling up. you can put points into any of the four trees.

[runic elbow]

ooh okay I tought the trees shares different points

thanks

[knotty tinsel]

nope you get 113 points from quests and leveling in total that you can spend wherever, so long as you meet requirements (i.e. you need 20 points in basic rogue to put points in the other ones)

good luck

[drowsy hornet]

i jumped back into legacy for a bit due to the S2 hype. Haven't played since 1.0 and love the changes.

I did noticed that every other mono had at least one lizard, exiled mage, and nemesis - is that normal?

*empowered

[knotty tinsel]

Yep, those are just random encounters that will pop up in your monos now

Though I believe the amount of lizards is getting tuned down somewhat

[drowsy hornet]

nice - even all at the same time 3? I'm getting all 3 pretty much every other mono lol - this is online btw

[knotty tinsel]

Mhm, I don't think they have any modifiers to exclude each other

[drowsy hornet]

thats alot of loot lol - not complaining however. Was thinking it would be even more random - maybe it'll change in S2

[faint cape]

Yeah, they are probably all a bit too common, but there's not a lot in echoes aside from those, so I'm sure rates will be tuned

Pretty sure loot lizard spawn rate was already confirmed to be getting dropped

[buoyant grotto]

Yes, but there are builds that you can spend a lot on, but they are limited in DPS.
It cannot be exceeded +1000 corruption
I am a fan of Falconner
Because of its speed and smooth movement, but honestly, I don't know its full potential since I always played for a short time. However, next month, I will dedicate more time in game , which is why I’m asking about the builds that can reach high levels.

[blazing glacier]

Why do you want 7K+ corruption? Just for the challenge? Even if a build "can" do it, it most likely isn't "worth" doing from a reward per time standpoint

That said, anything that can currently do anywhere close to 7K corruption now is most likely prime nerf target for 1.2 anyway lol

But yeah you really don't want to rely on survivability to push absurd amounts of corruption, because even if you are immortal, if your damage is bad it will just take way too long to be reasonable. Glass cannon (eg. Ballista Falconer) is better

[buoyant grotto]

No, no, that's not the goal of the challenge. You might laugh at me, hahaha. But the idea I have is that whenever I reach higher levels, I can get drops iteam and rare things in monster

[blazing glacier]

you are correct, corruption scales rarity. The problem is that getting more items in less time also results in rarer things indirectly

Are you CoF?

[buoyant grotto]

noo Guild march

[blazing glacier]

ah maybe then, you'll drop a lot more exalts / uniques / etc. but if it takes you twice as long to do twice as much corruption or you die constantly its probably not worth it

[buoyant grotto]

Yeah , I saw the build you told me about on YouTube, it looks good in the game Falconer Ballista , Someone who appears to have reached it +3500 Corruption

[blazing glacier]

It's probably getting nerfed next month though, just saying

[buoyant grotto]

Mmm I hope they don't touch it because that category is not high op op but fun and beautiful

[blazing glacier]

it is definitely OP OP lol

[buoyant grotto]

Because I have not played the latest version, I do not know many new developments. I downloaded the game to remember some things, and I actually saw that the build balista is first in the classification Arena 🤦‍♂️

[dusky kite]

their goal is to have 300 corruption as reasonable endgame content, any build that can push 3k is absurdly OP by that metric and should be nerfed straight into the ground

that said, it's very unlikely - going by the entire past history of this game - that they are either committed or capable of actually balancing the game

so maybe some of the most OP builds will get a light slap on the writs

[proud prawn]

Man the OP standard now is so warped

I never thought one day i can see someone think ballista falconer casually doing 3.5k corruption not op

[toxic echo]

Ive seen a falconer do 10k corr

[honest birch]

Well you see because bezos has billions that means bill gates is poor

[grand shoal]

Ye Falc is OP, no question.

But nobody plays 3,5k "casually". That's a slap in the face of casual players!

[blazing glacier]

When you just testing out a new build and accidentally end up doing 3.5k corruption, hate when that happens

[surreal verge]

3k
not op
My brother in chirst if you hit 1k it’s already broken to hell

[gilded dome]

300 with the right uniques, 1k with high lp legendaries. That's just the extra stats slammed. Sounds about right. I would expect Uber abberoth to also sit around there.

They also seem to avoid mentioning 300, instead saying they are bringing the floor up.

[blazing glacier]

idk 1K is not "that" different that 300 or so tbh, a "normal build" with enough time invested will go beyond 300

unless you change how difficulty scaling works its hard to say 300c is balanced but 1000c is completely busted

in any scenario

[surreal verge]

Probably because:

1. LE balancing is kinda ass.
2. 1k corruption is closer to a skill check more than a build check. If you can hit 500c you can hit 1kc in theory. But anything after is dps heck

[blazing glacier]

300C is 3.8x more damage and hp, 1000C is 11.8x more damage and hp

When it comes to ARPG scaling / progression that's a pretty small difference

[inner mountain]

yeah, 330c is ~2.4x "harder" than 100c and 1000c is roughly 3.1x "harder" than 300c. It's a pretty comparable difference climbing from 100 to 300 as it is from 300 to 1000

the reason most players don't get to 1000c isn't because their build couldn't make it there but because they lost interest in doing the required farming to get there

[blazing glacier]

that's what I am saying, if you take an "average build" with a "realistic" amount of investment and expect it to get to 300, then that same build with some T7 slammed uniques, some optimal base type exalts with the ideal affixes, maybe some well rolled idols, etc and add it up. boom 1000c

10 or 20% more damage and/or defense on each piece and suddenly your character is 3-4x stronger

[inner mountain]

yeah, it can be easy to feel like you're at the end of what your build can do because it's really easy to underestimate the net effect of a few small upgrades

[vital mantle]

Hi guys, Who still playing the game?

I come back to remember how to play before new cycle and I want some tips.
Now a days is hard to sell items on market, cause a lot of players stopped to play, so how can I farm Gold without focus on market selling?

[grand shoal]

If you want to play MG the gold you pick up, won't get you far. Either you manage to sell stuff, or you will not be able to buy much

[restive epoch]

Without MG trading (playing CoF then), you could take the inc% gold blessing from 1st timeline, buuuut I think its still way better to take inc% xp gained = more favour = more prophecies... picking up gold form ground and I try to sell sets and uniques that I dont want to keep to vendor (not really boss items bcz they're locked to 250g, screw that), but most uniques are like 500-2600g... not some crazy amounts, but it still helps a bit

[buoyant grotto]

What? It is no longer possible to join to guild merchant and sell iteam in market or buy iteam ?

[dusky kite]

they started to avoid mentioning the 300 because for the past 5 years setting that goalpost had been a resounding failure

[dusky kite]

they already changed it to be "exponential", except that the formula is still not steep enough, it should be extremely trivial to make it so that 300 corr is +300% mob hp/damage and 1000 corr is +30000% mob hp and damage. They just choose not to

It's not a matter of technical issue, it's a matter of overall game design and lack to commitment to having a balanced experience. Which is not necessarily wrong in some abstract sense, both can be a viable approach, but they should then stop signalling one and actually implementing the other

after all the game is (mostly) single player sandbox, they can say fu ck it, let shit be wild. But then they, again, need to drop communication in the vein of balance, ladders, reasonable goals etc

[vital mantle]

You can do that, but less players less trading.

[amber void]

i have a question about the wording, when it says "when you hit an enemy", that means it has chance to proc for each enemy hit or only once per use?

[toxic echo]

with the wording and the low % chance, i would lean towards for each enemy hit

[manic moth]

Unless you're playing sentinel

🙏 for the rework to be good

[blazing glacier]

If the difficulty scales much faster they also need to make reward (specifically xp / rarity) to scale faster, otherwise you end up nerfing CoF pretty hard on their ability to earn favor

I'd have no issue with changing the overall scaling though, in general

[dusky kite]

Sure, the current "paradigm" of balancing COF, if it can even be said to be a coherent paradigm in the first place, is just knee jerk reaction to having extremely poor build balance

once the disparity between good and average build is not so absurd, they can functionally uncap the exp gains for COF

[tired relic]

just pray to the RNGsus that running arround on that map is NOT the best way to get favor, cementerys and tombs, i have huge expectation on you ! 😄

[buoyant grotto]

Honestly, I didn’t quite understand because I haven’t played the latest part. I only knew about joining the guild marchant, listing what I collected for sale, and once I reached rank 6 or 7, I go to buy the weapons I needed. Things were going well, but now I don’t know what they have changed. I hope there aren’t any restrictions that make trading difficult because, for me, the fun of the game is finding a rare item, selling it, and buying what I need. That way, I feel like I’m truly playing online with real players.

[hazy kernel]

Hey everyone, iam currently trying to get rid of my stash mess from 1.0 and 1.1 and wanted to delete the categories of the stash. I emptied every tab of the category ( already triple checked it 😄 ), but i still cant delete it. I already tried relogging and changing zones, but i still cant delete it. Anyone knows a fix for this, or cant we delete "remove only" categories / tabs? Thanks!

[mossy shadow]

there are FAVOR Farming video out there already. And even if those are old, they still work.

EHG won't likely change favor farming anytime soon. They might limited time buff for favor gain but reworking the whole Ranking might not be part of the plan yet.

[tired relic]

u migh have missunderstood me, i was praying to remove that way of farming favor, hoping new content is better on favor/hour than doing the warcamp over and over and over again ^^

[mossy shadow]

OH. Well there is bound to be a better method soon, since we don't know what tomb and cementery of erase have inside yet.

Not to mention we have to find a way to farm "Memory Amber" for new Woven faction too.

There is bound to be a effecient method to farm Memory Amber while farming favor for CoF/MG

Some known YT-ber will likely make a new video about it cough* 🥶

[lyric pond]

should cosmetics show on your character in the character select screen?

[old jacinth]

Killed lagon as my 2nd harbinger towards abberoth
Which timeline do you guys recommend i do next

[mossy shadow]

Would suggest Gaspar one to get rid of annoying Harbi when ranking up Forgotten Knight faction

after that Harton, Formosos and Argentus.... others are easy enough

[desert tree]

Should, but it's been bugged for a while

[inner mountain]

the devs have said it works for them internally, last i heard they don't know why it doesn't work on live, not sure if that has changed

[lyric pond]

ok makes sense why i see peak of the mountain helm and not my cosmtic then lol

[dusky kite]

harton, this harb giga sucks

then for most builds finish the rest of the thin harbs as they are universally harder than thick harbs

[dusky kite]

sounds familiar, just spent most of today trying to replicate a few bugs reported by end users in our test environment

turned out there was no bug, just a faulty devops deployment to live and an inconvenient timing of certain operations

[old jacinth]

Ok so that was my hunch

I tried him first
Made the mistake of ignoring his minions

When harbinger spawned it felt like i was playing simon says while being shot at

[tribal meadow]

Does anyone turn volumetrics to very low? They make everything look foggy for me, especially the first few areas of campaign, turning it off makes everything so much clearer

[toxic echo]

Yea, some maps on some builds. Its worth an igbr if its consistent tho

[tribal meadow]

I thought it was intended, artistic and such

[hexed wasp]

So if it lets me I'm about to put four screen shots. The first is a showing of a full prophecies page all with unique prophecies. The 2nd is my best ability to show all the unique drops. The third is the prophecies page after the kill. There were two types of prophecies; kill general monolith boss's and kill emperor of corpses. And the fourth is all the bows that dropped as a non unique.
Kill gen boss: (once): x8 bow, x4 1hd sword, x8 2hd sword, x4 gen weapon,
Kill emp corp: x4 shield, x8 ranged, x8 2hd sword, x8 2hd sword, x8 2hd spear, x8 ranged, x8 wand
So that's ((8+4+8+4)+(4+8+8+8+8+8+8))x2(from 2 times prop drop CoF lvl 12)= (24+52)x2=76x2= which should be 152 unique's that drop.
What dropped x8 shields of possible 8, x48 2hd sword of possible 48, x9(and extra dropped from general global drop) 1hd sword of possible 8, x16 wand of possible 16, x9 bow(and extra dropped from general global drop) of possible 48, x18 2hd spear of possible 16, x5 boss drops, x4 gen wep of possible 4
The (3) 3lp's were, close call, triboelectra, alchemist's ladle (the baby spoon).
There was (7) 2lp's and (73) 1lp's leaving what should be 82 no lp uniques's but it was 29 leaving a shortfall of 40 missing unique's if i counted correctly and did my math correctly. All of which were bow.

[tribal meadow]

Holy

Are those double juiced? I mean those two juicer lenses (x2 uses, x2 drop quantinty iirc)

[hexed wasp]

i was orginally making the message to show the crazyness of prop drops. And its not even that crazy as u can get a full page of them but i didn't want to risk running out of room. Unintentionally it kinda becaome a psa about bugged props. and its just has x2 lense amount

[tribal meadow]

Are you sure that some drops aren't just hidden by your loot filter?

[hexed wasp]

i just enjoy monolith farming so i always use the no arena and no dungeon lenses

100% its not a loot filter issue i looked at drops without it on

the bow uni/ranged weapon uni prophecies have been bugged from day one i just forgot about it. And sadly got shorted

[tribal meadow]

Scammazed

They're working on some loot protection

Like if you die in echo next to 4LP unique or don't have space for the good stuff anymore

I think it's supposed to be something like the Borderlands 3 loot thingy that collected all the highest level items for you

But don't quote me on that

[hexed wasp]

id be over the moon if prophacies became a click to claim option. so i could open them in the reward room with my stash

[vital mantle]

That still work, but now we have few players in game, so if you find a good item probably those players won't need, cause there build is full or maybe have another item cheaper, we dont have meta now cause dont have a lot of players in game.
Such more players in the game, the easier it will be to sell your items for a good price.

Law of supply and demand.

[storm wren]

Sorry I'm confused because no response yet 🤔

[storm wren]

Sorry, what are you want to say by your examples?

The amount of loots don't x2 as it should?

[blazing glacier]

Even if you only do monolith those aren't good lenses to use since monoliths already make up the majority of prophecy event conditions

The 2x lenses technically cause you to need fewer rerolls since each prophecy counts as more, plus they are also more favor efficient

[onyx apex]

someone have this problem on the boss?

[hexed wasp]

It’s the set up I like and it’s how I run it. The post was by no means an hey do this it’s the BIS Meta

[blazing glacier]

Was just trying to help since the system isn't intuitive, if ones goal is to click reroll as little as possible because of arena / dungeon prophecies they don't want the best way to achieve that is with the 2x lenses. Otherwise you might as well also block campaign too even though it doesn't really do anything

But yeah fair enough

[restive epoch]

[hexed wasp]

Is anyone else is watching the dev pop cast and getting a felling like some of the speakers haven’t even looked at the trailer for season two. I’m sure it’s just me and taking it wrong but I don’t know if this was a go in blind Q&A talk with devs type of thing

[toxic echo]

no?

pretty sure they script the questions

at least a little bit

[viral gorge]

can any one help me i cant fine my coin in my wallet after update

[hexed wasp]

Alright then probably just me then

[restive epoch]

5 arena echoes... 1.2 please...

[edgy sphinx]

CoF ftw

[slow eagle]

For anyone who missed them, teased items from the current stream with Zizaran

[buoyant grotto]

Oh, that's good! I thought they had stopped trading because, for me, the best part of the game is trading.

[hasty tartan]

I wonder if shattered worlds is an uber aberroth drop

[toxic echo]

it is

[wicked plover]

it is

[toxic echo]

and the gloves

[hasty tartan]

Oh, confirmed? Thanks.

[wicked plover]

hit me with some brainstorming, what are super generic ways to generate frenzy that you can throw into most builds

i dont think i know of any easy ways to do that

[slow eagle]

experimental get frenzy when you use a travel skill affix

probs the most generic

also Nihilis

[wicked plover]

hm right, both of those dont sound too enticing to use with warpath though

[stiff drift]

anyone know why my quests randomly disapear from my map after pressing m

[slow eagle]

sword catcher?

or the self ignite belt I guess (assuming that works with warpath)

[wicked plover]

it probably wont, warpath is just 1 cast

[faint cape]

It would only have the chance to proc frenzy when you start channeling

[slow eagle]

darn

I wish warpath had a node that let you trigger on skill use stuff every like 2 seconds whil spinning

[faint cape]

Sword catcher would definitely be the easiest, you can also get really good uptime on frenzy from traversals just by interrupting warpath for a moment

[slow eagle]

ye

[wicked plover]

maybe a few new affixes or idols will do the trick

[faint cape]

Judgment has a node, too, but it's only 4s on use and idk if you're going pally

[wicked plover]

i might try out judgement again, but for startes its gonna be smite warpath

so using sword catcher wont work either

[faint cape]

yeah a new unique could enable things

oh, then why do you want frenzy?

[wicked plover]

trying to justify the uber aberoth relic

or make the most out of it*

[faint cape]

you won't gain anything from frenzy really, the rest of the relic is plenty good

[wicked plover]

attack speed is bis for smite warpath

[faint cape]

You only need so much of it, assuming you're doing palarus?

[wicked plover]

yeap

but leaving off attack speed on both weapons might open some set affix shenaningans or champion affix stuff

[faint cape]

Attack speed only helpful on single target damage for that

[slow eagle]

smite on throwing attack hit as a champion affix is gonna be nice for idol slots

[wicked plover]

depends on the alternatives i guess
really curious about the idol craft stuff

[slow eagle]

ye

just more options to get it is nice

[wicked plover]

i actually thought an unique idol from uber aberoth would be the most probable/only thing we got for idols this patch
the crafting hit out of nowhere

[slow eagle]

yea

[sullen summit]

Regular stash tabs on LE Season 2. 😂

[sullen summit]

@trim heath

[slow eagle]

[cunning sleet]

do bleeds scale off physical damage?

[faint cape]

Yes, they deal physical damage over time

[cunning sleet]

so 20% physical dmg would make bleed tick harder?

[faint cape]

Yes

[cunning sleet]

okay thank you

[hexed wasp]

omg that stash tab organization is killing me

just a sample of min stash org i need

[ripe rover]

hey all, question about damage... Let's say i have +20 cold damage on a bow, and i have a bow attack full converted to fire. Does that +20 cold become +20 fire?

[sullen summit]

😂 😂 😂 😂
But It was just for illustration purposes... To show the desirement for set items with the new set craft mechanic.

[faint cape]

No, only "bow damage" gets converted. Typed damage like "bow cold damage" stays as-is.

[ripe rover]

thank you

[quartz iris]

my corruption is 348 and i kill the exile mage but can't finish the quest? Do i do this wrongly?

[inner mountain]

You need to kill 4

[quartz iris]

oh

[inner mountain]

That's what the number next to the skull means

[quartz iris]

i thought that there is the number of killing time like full fill of

[inner mountain]

Not very clearly communicated

[quartz iris]

ok now that is new. Tks for your information

[blazing glacier]

Oh wow, we have the same disorder

[wide sentinel]

no RR

noob farming

[blazing glacier]

in my 3LP tab? naw

[wide sentinel]

[blazing glacier]

@wide sentinel thats here;

[wide sentinel]

hells ye

[blazing glacier]

gotta make sure I don't lose it

[wide sentinel]

hoarder

[blazing glacier]

also remove only kinda screws me over

[wide sentinel]

did u get 2lp rr in the end btw?

or oryans

[blazing glacier]

I don't think so, but most of those are from season 1 before Nemesis. In S2 I got my T7s really fast so I didnt farm many

[wide sentinel]

noice

[hexed wasp]

Nice, my biggest issue with stash currently come from the fact that I will only play legacy. As the idea of throwing away all the time spent and loot gained ever few months is pure insanity to me. So I’ve been maxed at 200 stash tabs and even with a super struck filter and evil mad scientist level origination . This has cause 99% of 2lps and below to be ground candy and some of the more common uniques 3lp is also ground candy. But I can’t complain at anyone but myself as it’s my personal gaming preference to not play cycles/seasons .

[blazing glacier]

I guess you just need to adjust your standards every so often and drop thousands of items on the ground xd

tbh though I think S2 will help with stash space a lot, we probably need to hoard fewer items if there are more opportunities to salvage / recycle

[inner mountain]

yeah items got a lot more modular with the new runes

although the forging potential is gonan be tight

[harsh grove]

so one thing i don't understand, why would i want to do the prophecy in picture 1 (bigger price, requires 3 completions) while picture 2 offers the exact same reward for much less of a hassle, and cheaper?

[median zenith]

fulfilled 0/3 times means you can do the entire prophecy 3 times (3x the rewards)

the number on the event icon is how many times you need to do the objective per fulfillment, then the fulfilled line at the top is how many total times you can do the entire prophecy

[harsh ravine]

Doing Julia is quick and easy. There is no level requirement. You could run T1 3 times and be done. Also you get to do legendary crafting after the fight. You achieve 2 things in one go. If your character can’t run Sanctum then the second prophecy would be better. If your character can do both then your call. If you’re don’t get the stats on a legendary crafting after you need to run Julia multiple times till you do anyway. Might as well combine it with a prophecy. If your character don’t need to craft legendaries than go with #2.

[storm wren]

emmmm the first question:
Who's Ross and Holley?

[desert tree]

Holly is the principal designer > Trasochi on discord

Ross is another designer not sure about his discord namz

[storm wren]

I don't understand what Ross is doiing in EHG after listened his self-introduction...

I just know he seen kickstarter page, thought it's awsome then... Not sure what he did then Judd saked him to join the team every 3 months

[desert tree]

He saw the kickstarter page, thought "meh". Later he saw a stream from Ziz and thought "eh! That game is kinda cool now" so he grabbed a roadmap started to design the features that were on it, and would come on the discord to hand them to Judd

And Judd was like

[storm wren]

🤔 I'm curious what have he designed and how are he designed then...

The same case with Holly. No idea what she doing in EHG

[desert tree]

Holly*

[storm wren]

😂 😂 😅 A bit funny that I only can recognize Judd

[desert tree]

I wonder what is Ross discord name

[desert tree]

I think it was their 1st time doing smth public

I found it quite nice to nice another face than Mike (nothing against Mike he is the 🐐)

[storm wren]

yeah I'm surprised Mike don't join in the stream

I wonder what Agent want to say

[median zenith]

Ross works on a lot of high level creative direction kinda things. He helps make sure everything is cohesive and moving towards the same goal. He's contributed to lots of different areas of the game and has a really good eye for ensuring the "game feel" is in a good place.

Holly is the principle designer. She's been involved since the early days of LE and is who wrote a lot of the core systems that the game is based on (items, abilities, etc). She contributes in basically every area of the game from code to content. I've been learning a bunch about the item code from her lately.

Judd really does know how to find the best people and get them all working towards the same goal. We have an amazing team of super talented people who are all really into what we're building

[storm wren]

so what both of them did are something.... Every detail in game? Like how to optimize codes, how to do storytelling well, how to connect different maps, how to design UI for different places, how to make sure enemies not too easy and too hard for players, help thinking new idesa, help new people in EHG learn their jobs faster, help testing servers and figure out how much users current servers can take etc?

If someone just say "I help designed everything in game"... Man, it mean say nothing

Unfortunately both of them follow this logic so it's out of my box

[median zenith]

heh, just think of them like other variants of Judd/Mike - all of them have had outsized impacts on Last Epoch

hard to capture everything they've done in just a few sentences ;p

[storm wren]

To be honest, no idea on what Judd/Mike doing in EHG too so I don't have a base

Maybe I should ask Wick to do a interview with both of them but one by one

[storm wren]

first time to see this account and this account join in this server since 2017... Holy.

This is hidden master definitely.

ok, I hope Wick can help me solve my questions 🙏

[quartz iris]

holy shiet where you can find so many red rings bro

[storm wren]

I guess it's his love drive him to get these loots

I can't play a build for too long time because I'm not patient enough to grind favour and farm prophecies

I know how long it will take me to earn 200k favour back base on corruption level my builds can reach

I guess his build must swim in 1.5k+ corruption

[mossy shadow]

Look at FS flexing hahaha

[blazing glacier]

Many hours of spreadsheet optimized speed farming and prophecy rolling

[blazing glacier]

in 1.0 yeah I farmed around 4K corruption, in 1.1 after the xp/favor scaling nerfs I just stopped at 1K corruption and optimized for speed

except my HC SSF guy, I stopped at 800C because it was kinda scary xd

[storm wren]

I know nothing about le while 1.0 so there's a big time gap

[blazing glacier]

1.0 was corruption push meta, 1.1 was speed meta

for CoF at least

[storm wren]

you're right

but I missed corruption meta because I still have lots of things to learn

[mossy shadow]

Knowing FS has 900+hours as a CoF player.... he did LEARN alot, alright.

[storm wren]

🤭 The most fun build I played is in 1.0 too, I played ghostflame warlock before 1.1

It's a pity that this skill never be shiny after 1.1

He just played le 900+h?!

[mossy shadow]

might be more, coz that 900+ hour CoF video Q&A is like an older video already

there are bunch of peeps i talk to, ingame, say they have 900+ and 1000+ hours already hahaha

FS is not the first

[storm wren]

😆 I'm surprised he don't play le 8k+h like Dr3adful

I suppose they're on the same level of understanding for le

👀 2000h is the next milestone I want to get

[blazing glacier]

I think I started in 0.9 though, so relatively recently

[mossy shadow]

Dr3ad HAS 8k hours? DAMN

[storm wren]

ohhhh that's fair now

[blazing glacier]

no one comes close to dr3ads game knowledge haha

[mossy shadow]

Mah GOD this people, seriously.

[storm wren]

I need to pass 1.5k at first 😆

[blazing glacier]

😄

[mossy shadow]

We gonna learn lots of new thing since season 2 gonna have balance changes. So your Ghostflame Warlock might be OP for example lol

[mossy shadow]

How the heck do you have 1.2k hours BUT just recently started to try MG

hahaha

[blazing glacier]

Isn't Ghostflame decent?

I've never made an MG character xd

[mossy shadow]

Not even to try it eh? lol

[blazing glacier]

I've played enough ARPGs that have essentially forced trade to know I don't really enjoy that aspect, this is why LE is my main ARPG

[storm wren]

indeed, trade fans are concrete on playing poe & poe 2, these games base on trading

[storm wren]

it's nerfed by more mana channeling when casting ghostflame so...

[mossy shadow]

We really need patch note already! I'm dying to know what buff/nerf classes will have.

[storm wren]

I don't know how ghostflame warlock work now, I just use that as a skill to level up the class

it's too good if ghostflame warlock build caan break the necrotic resistance stacking curse

[blazing glacier]

I really want to know if my new FC theorycraft is going to work

inb4 Focus is the new Ghostflame xd

[storm wren]

Even he just recommend using fissure. The exclusive skill of warlock means I must stack necrotic resistance

emmm? wait, different skill branch this build go.

🤔 maybe it's the Boneclamor Barbute's issue then, not warlock's issue. This build don't depend on necrotic resistance to be offensive but still need necrotic resistance to be defensive.

No caster builds don't need more ward per second if the defense way is ward.

[blazing glacier]

boneclamor is just a really nice helm xd

[storm wren]

I want another ways to build ward per second if you mean 1 ward per second per 3% uncapped necrotic resistancc

Stack single resistence just too challenging for resistence balance

Or you have any ways for solving this challenge?

[blazing glacier]

I just mean it gives a lot of attributes, a lot of armor, a lot of res, ward, decent LP chance, etc

stack necrotic isn't that bad though, I think my budget warlock had like 650% ?

I also did full low life, 10K stable ward

feels like decent synergy there

int = ward retention, and scales damage

[storm wren]

then my warlock is pretty poor

[blazing glacier]

o

[storm wren]

No idea how are you stack 650% necrotic resistance...

[storm wren]

I stacked intelligence so no extra skill level bonus

[blazing glacier]

I'm not sure, my gear is unequipped xd

@storm wren there I found some random gear, this was a 1.0 character - 535% necrotic but none on ring boot or relic https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/AVdJvvgB

[storm wren]

ohhhhhhhh I see, Ivory rings and bone amulet... ok good idea, forget that

[storm wren]

@rare burrow Mike asked me to double check the trailer, I checked and I noticed the character is go into the tomb from a random echo. I guess it mean something?

[rare burrow]

heyo yes ish Tombs are side areas in Monos

BUT Cemetries are a specific mono you choose

tombs have a 50ish% chance of spawning in monos

[storm wren]

ohhhhh you mean it's like corrupted dungeons in random maps when I playing poe's campaign?

[rare burrow]

yes thats the best comparison

[storm wren]

I mean this one

No idea what it means

[rare burrow]

the thing in the middle is a cemetrie im like 90% sure

the one in the top left as well the thing to the bottom left definetly not the thing to the right is a Woven Echoe

[storm wren]

I have no idea what the difference inside tombs and cemeteries so EHG want to do them separately

[rare burrow]

tombs can appear in any echo

also cemeteries are larger and give more rewards if i remember correctly

[storm wren]

why one of them is one of echoes, the other one only can spawn in a echo 😅

[rare burrow]

for more total encounters

also probably for the next season and the one after and so on

in this season it might be a lot but over time its usefull to enable more player choice and so on

[storm wren]

that's why I'm confused about Mike answered me "Tombs are procedural side zones whereas cemeteries are echoes"

[rare burrow]

?

can you hop into vc right now might be easier

https://discordapp.com/channels/368953963267096586/1347839087842820148

:p

[storm wren]

🤔 I'm confused about which one should I focus on in 1.2, farming in tombs or cemeteries to level up my woven faction faster

[rare burrow]

both probably lol

also woven echoes

basically im probably going to hunt for the cemeteries and then hop into any tomb i find in any normal echo

[storm wren]

I'm not native at English so I prefer typing :)

[rare burrow]

also im pretty sure a tomb can spawn in a cemetarie

[storm wren]

lol that'll be more fun

[rare burrow]

Chinese? id be happy to have someone to speak to as im curently learning it :P

im definetly at the beginning of that journey though

[storm wren]

30% taken damage from bosses and rare enemies is dealt over 4s instead

What do it mean?

[icy drift]

If you would take 1000 damage you instead take 700 damage and then 75 damage per second for 4 seconds

[storm wren]

where 75 damage come from

[icy drift]

It's the 30% that was mitigated. 300/4 = 75

[storm wren]

ohhhhh it depart taken damage into two parts, one part is 700, the other part is 300 and it change a way to take, dot

[icy drift]

Exactly

It helps you not get killed in one hit instantly

[storm wren]

🤔 It'll help a lot on caster's defense

[icy drift]

It helps everyone ^^. That's why it's on Uber abberoth

[storm wren]

even caster builds will not... holy damn

😭 😭 😭 😭 Then I never get one

[icy drift]

I believe in you. One day you'll beat him ^^

[desert tree]

@random isle What new necro Unique are you referring too?

[storm wren]

damn... this one can available by uber aberroth only too...

holy damn. I never get current exclusive drops from aberroth even :(

Well, then it means MG is the only chance for me :(
