[meager falcon]

i vaguely remember there was another build site other than maxroll, but i really can't remember now

[slow eagle]

maxroll has a hammer throw paladin guide

which wouldn't be hard to make into a vk one

[meager falcon]

oh right letools is the other site

[slow eagle]

tho there is always void cleave + erasing strike for leveling

void cleave into a pack -> ES with the gauranteed crit, rive in the middle

the idea with infinte ES spam is that world splitter lets you get 100% crit chance -> ES gets a void essence on crit (no cooldown version of ES) -> when you run out of mana spamming, the void well passive gets you 30% of your max mana back so you can keep spamming ES

[meager falcon]

oh nice

haven't done it before, but looks straightforward

just a big beefy 2 handed melee weapon?

[slow eagle]

its a unique from one of the harbys

[meager falcon]

oh so the build depends on a late game unique?

[slow eagle]

yeah thats why I'm not calling infinite es spam a leveling build

[meager falcon]

i mean... what's a good build to get strong enough to take down a harbinger in the first place?

just any leveling build?

[slow eagle]

most should be able to

[meager falcon]

i'm starting completely from scratch as far as 1.1 is concerned

[slow eagle]

hammer throw is probs the best bet there then as its just strong af

then use that to build up gear

[meager falcon]

sounds reasonable then

[slow eagle]

I just gotta reccomend worldsplitter ES as a work towards this as its litterally screen wide nukes every second

[wide sentinel]

i dont think i can recover from this

[storm wren]

It's obvious that what will happen next after GGG announced they updated on Apr. 4 xdddd

Hypeeeeeeeee :)

I just hope I can take care of both. Hard to balance my playtime...

[meager falcon]

easy solution to not being able to balance your playtime

get married to a social node partner who organizes 3 events per weekend and have two kids. You'll have no time at all. 😄

[inner mountain]

that way you don't have to choose between them , you get neither!

[meager falcon]

https://tenor.com/view/tkt-smart-gif-20642718

Oh and have like 4 other hobbies. that helps too

[wind comet]

hey, obviously a noob question, but "season 1" content like harringers won't stay in s2 ?

[icy drift]

It will

[grand shoal]

Everything that is currently in the game will stay

[icy drift]

All content stays

[wind comet]

ho ok, thought of something like poe, where some isn't ^^ thx

[desert tree]

Eventually they might go to a temporary content like this, but rn they are adding core content

[storm wren]

@clever geyser here's my case

I can log in, just ping is too high

I reported this issue one month ago

🤔 No idea why my ip in HK but the ping still go insane

[slow eagle]

VPN?

[storm wren]

🤷‍♀️ I tried no vpn, the same. I can't use discord without VPN.

VPN shouldn't influence the ping. I need net booster for playing poe 2, with VPN and without VPN change nothing

[slow eagle]

Nah having a vpn tends to break online last epoch for whatever reason

[dusky kite]

vpn is the primary thing that would affect your ping

also you can try a lifehack and use discord in browser with a vpn plugin that will have no effect on your game

[storm wren]

I don't think so because I don't have ping issue last year

I using VPN for any games

Internet in Chinese mainland just sucks and bad

[slow eagle]

At least there’s offline mode

[storm wren]

then I never can ask for help on bosses indeed

[slow eagle]

The game being playable is a lil important imo

[dusky kite]

Really? I'd think the opposite, given the recency factor. At least over in our parts it's pretty good exactly because we were late to the party and built our telecom infrastructure from scratch

[storm wren]

It's sucks and bad on international connection. Nothing you can use without VPN, ins/twitter/google family/twitch/Amazon etc

That's why Chinese community is separate with English community entirely.

That's why I never understand Chinese live in another country (Especially EU/NA/SA) want to go back China and use Chinese apps 🤷‍♀️
I just want to immigrate.

[gleaming salmon]

I'm a bit at a loss. I have finished the timelines on normal difficulty. I got an eye-something item in my inv but I accidentally right clicked it and it disappeared. I couldn't even read what it did and now I think I screwed my self. Also don't know what I'm supposed to do now. Do I go through all the timelines again but on level 100? What is the end game here?

[surreal verge]

Empowered monoliths (AKA monoliths but lv 100) is the end game, where now every possible unique can drop, empowered blessings exist, and corruption allowing you to scale as hard as you want.

The Eye is used to fight the pinnacle boss,but requires you to max rank your forgotten knights faction.

[tidal juniper]

Hey guys, any totem shamans here? I want to know what is the best type of weapon to use while leveling? I level with swipe and maelstorm so mostly physical

[gleaming salmon]

So I pretty much wasted an eye? After I right clicked it nothing happened, the final boss didn't become available. It now says I have to fight all the harbingers in the timelines

[surreal verge]

It's most likely stuck inside the slot. Come back after you beaten every other harbinger.

[gleaming salmon]

There was no slot like in dungeons as far as I remember

[surreal verge]

If you opened the gate to check there's a locked slot, the eye might be there.
If you just right clicked it in your inventory then I have zero clue where it is now.

[tidal juniper]

Guess noone here is shaman?

[gleaming salmon]

That’s what I see when I click the altar

[surreal verge]

Yeah, there's a chance it's behind that lock.

[surreal verge]

Asking in #🐺┃primalist might help.

[chilly matrix]

just rewatched the trailer, were getting wasd support too?!

[toxic echo]

Beta wasd support...like it said. Yes

[tranquil obsidian]

beta support. DOn't expect the quality of D4 or POE2. Baby steps

[chilly matrix]

oh i know, i was more suprised id missed it first watch through

might be able to swap back to keyboard from controller

are they doing a dev stream at all showing off all the new stuff before season starts? or are there detailed patch notes to be put out?

[static root]

They are doing a interview/podcast tour instead of the dev streams coming weeks

[chilly matrix]

nice thatll be super cool

[static root]

Last friday was zizeran and rax, this friday its ghazzy

[chilly matrix]

id love to work for EHG they seem like such a cool company

[storm wren]

lol I feel funny that this user even screwed up EHG as EGH, but... Yeah he reveal a cruel truth...

All about how will these twitch streamers do, stream poe 2 or stream le longer

[indigo jackal]

Whichever gets them more money ofc

[storm wren]

It's fun to see how these poe streamers do their choices

I suppose GGG want to filter core players by monitoring who will play poe 2 after le's 1.2 out for two days only

Streamers will be the first wave obviously

🤔 I'll super struggling too even I'm just a normal player

lmaoooooooooo holy too fuunny really literally

Dread want both of them is delayed because he want to watch a movie release on Apr. 4th

[storm wren]

👀 The pity is I'm not famous at all so... I can do poor things

[cunning canyon]

We have 2025, people are allowed to do what they want.

Streamers, even if they are a cheap way to advertise a game in a win win kind of way for both, the streamer and the studio, are just a very small portion of the gamer.

Of course streamers are only there to make the most out of it and of course they will show their face with such behavior, but they are all grown up and can do their own stuff, we should let them do so. And yes.... sure, some will follow their streamers, cause of some x-dimensional connection they seem to have to their buddy streamers.

If the players decide to lay down a game for an EA title that just adds some additional to-test content which is far from being done and will be released at the end of the year... they have the right to do.

The ARPG genre has a big spectrum of games in the makings, with currently delivering, releasing and games that are just on the horizon, TQ2 for example.
D2, D3, D4, TQ2, GrimDawn, POE 1&2 Rest for the, Dragonkin and and and...´

You will NEVER have a situation where everyone gets pleased.
Is this situation unlucky? Maybe?! Is this a worst case scenario? Defenetly not!

I guess we will all survive this.

It always was and always will be... play what YOU want. Thats my take...

There is no problem here 😕 🤷‍♂️

[restive epoch]

@cedar locust heyho, I have to ask you, as a supreme bladedancer queen, if this really is a big or it works in some mysterious way we didnt understand? 😄 LM life leech node + item cancelling life leech = LM still leeches life ?
#🔪┃rogue message

[faint cape]

The official dev stance is "if it seems like a bug, please report it as a bug"

[restive epoch]

Did that, just asking around

[faint cape]

For the record, I don't see any way that could be not considered a bug

[restive epoch]

Yeah... hopefully it gets fixed, I kinda like the build... even with the sucffed leech that broke my LL Shift mana solving issue, it was still fine in 250-350c 😄 but with constant Shift it just would be sweet

[tribal ice]

I haven't played in about a year and just logged back in as I'm excited for the upcoming new season. I'm playing in legacy mode and noticed several of my equipped items have a red cross/x on them. Upon removing them and equipping them it tells me I require a higher faction rank to equip them. One of these items enables my build and took a long time to find. Does faction progression reset after several updates? I require circle of fortune rank 3 to equip these items and I'm back at rank 1 currently.

[leaden grail]

I have some questions about Bone Curse:

1. If I understand it correctly, the curse deals physical spell damage when the cursed enemy is hit. Does that damage only scale off my own increased spell damage, or does it also take modifiers to the hit that caused the damage into account? For example: When a minion hit with 100% increased damage triggers the Bone Curse damage, does the curse's damage also get increased, or are those two damage instances completely seperated?

2. If I'm inside the aura of a Dread Shade with Symiotic Apparition allocated (I'm affected by its beneficial buffs), does that mean my Bone Curse now deals necrotic damage which subsequently get's increased by my own increases to necrotic damage?

[surreal verge]

Go to your stash and find the merge button.

[surreal verge]

1. Seperate. Bone Curse only scales by itself.

2. yes, assuming you applied it after getting the buff from Dread Shade.

[tribal ice]

@surreal verge ok, thank you. I'll try that later on today.

[leaden grail]

Are there any sources for percentage minion health regeneration in the game?

[lavish dew]

yea acolyte and lich passives. then there are also %inc health regen buffs that can affect minions such as frenzy totem node, smite nodes, etc.

[leaden grail]

Sorry, bad phrasing. I don't mean increased health regen, but flat. Like "Minions regenerate 1% of life per second".

[hidden mica]

Howdy pals. Have they revealed all the sentinel changes yet? Or just that (admittedly very large) teaser thread? I'm looking for complete details including cooldowns, full trees, values, etc

[lavish dew]

No full reveal prolly with patch notes

[faint cape]

No, don't think any stats like that exist in game, in general

[leaden grail]

That's too bad. But thanks.

[mossy shadow]

General Question to all:

Since we can now farm monolith timeline boss drop on Tomb & Cemeteries of Erased's Rare mobs

Curious, What would be your choice of farming method for season 2?

a.) Rushing Stability to Farm Monolith timeline boss? (Quality)
or
b.) Filling the Monolith timeline web with tons of Tomb & Cemetaries Woven echo node for Rare mob encounter? (Quantity)

[inner mountain]

we have no clue because we don't know how juicy the tombs and cemetaries will be... what we saw was a .3% chance to drop a boss unique which is pretty low but if there are more ways to buff the drop rate or just tons of rares it could be better

[mossy shadow]

beside the corruption increase drop rate. But yeah, we will see once season 2 comes or when more teaser is release in upcoming podcast. POSSIBLY centered on Woven faction skill tree.

They have to have a specific topic per podcast LOL

[storm wren]

hah?

⬆️ yeah, the bot can't find le server now

[toxic echo]

seems fine to me?

[storm wren]

Click ✅ to confirm 👀

[toxic echo]

ah

[mystic moon]

Do we already know something about what kind of rework the Sentinel class is going to get in S2? I really like the class, curious what's going to change.

[mossy shadow]

there is a certain someone here that pinned every possibly sentinel rework tease. He will show up sooner or later lol

[arctic scarab]

Go to sentinel channel and see pinned messages, there are few tidbits there, nothing major tho

[mystic moon]

Good point, thank you.

[arctic scarab]

except being able to wield 2h (except staves) in 1h

I would reckon that is a major change

NOW IF SENTINEL COULD SOMEHOW DUAL WIELD....

[surreal verge]

They could?

[mossy shadow]

i think he means 2H on both main and off-hand.

[arctic scarab]

Yes, node is quite specific in saying you can use 2h alongside a shield, not that you can equip 2handers as 1handers

[tranquil obsidian]

this is not entirely correct.
I've saw a video from Raxx addressing this and he said he will alternate the games and then play what he likes more.
I think that it's probably the same mindset of the others.
The Situation it's bad but let's not make it worse that it objectively is

[inner mountain]

there are a list of currently revealed spoilers in the #🔱┃sentinel channel and I believe ghazzy is planning to ask a lot of questions about sentinel during his interview on friday

[mossy shadow]

So basically this fridays's podcast would be on Sentinel rework as a topic eh

neat

[arctic scarab]

It is not really bad. It had to happen sooner or later. Either LE "can stand on its two feet" or not. Although GGG's move was scummy in my opinion, stuff like this will happen.
GD new expansion coming, PoE1 new leagues, PoE2 patches, Titan Quest 2, Torchlight....
Lot of overlap in arpg space currently so LE has to find its own loyal fan base and build from that

[toxic echo]

maybe? no one knows what will be the subject on the podcasts

[toxic echo]

bot should be fixed now

[inner mountain]

we don't know what EHG will want to talk about but ghazzy has said most of his questions are related to balance and the sentinel rework

[toxic echo]

ah, alright

[desert tree]

He has been interviewing some of LE's content creators to gather questions from them

He has released thoses talks. The videos are quite interesting tbh

[toxic echo]

i knew that ( have my own opinions about that anyways 🙄 ) but i didnt know he said what he was asking about

[quartz iris]

noooooooooooooooooooooo

let me in

[desert tree]

I am curious now

[toxic echo]

what server?

[quartz iris]

Asia SE

let me try to use gear up

i can log in now

[toxic echo]

interesting. mighta just been a little hiccup.

[mossy shadow]

OH Asia SE server player? lemme try

[quartz iris]

I used 3rd party app to foward my internet to another place

[toxic echo]

well i tried messaging you but im not allowed, lmao

[cedar locust]

It's a bug with the gloves that will be fixed in Season 2 😊

[restive epoch]

Woooooooooo! ...but its also bugged with the amulet? 🤔

[mossy shadow]

nvm, i can login like normal even in Asia SE

[cedar locust]

Did you test with just the amulet and not the gloves?

[restive epoch]

uhgughg, wait, I'll try in a bit 😄

[cedar locust]

Always test all the variables!

[quartz iris]

i got the issue

i dont know what is this

[cedar locust]

Can you submit an In Game Bug Report for me please?

[restive epoch]

With Xithara amulet (Boulderfists unequipped) I go to full life with leech

[quartz iris]

I have seen it and now it disapear

[restive epoch]

well with boulderfists too (with 1 shadow~~ but thats not important~~) 😄 Shift crit => full health leeched

[cedar locust]

IGBR then!

[cedar locust]

That's okay, if you haven't reloaded I can attach that screenshot to your IGBR if you let me know your Account name 🙂

[restive epoch]

Already did 🫡

[quartz iris]

unfortune i have reload it

[grand shoal]

Well, I see why I only use Acolytes to transport some Stuff from HC to SC 😄

[cedar locust]

If you only reloaded once then that's okay, we get both the current and previous gameplay logs when you send in bug reports! This helps when players report crashes 🙂

[fluid saddle]

whats your guys average time to finish the campaign ?

[cedar locust]

Alone, I think it can be done in about 5-6 hours

[edgy sphinx]

Can you turn Rip Blood into a Blood Wave-like skill? I haven't ever looked deeply at the skill tree.

[slow eagle]

New cycle? Or with leveling gear

[fluid saddle]

fresh start scenario

[slow eagle]

If your playing perfectly with a strong leveling build you can crunch through it in like 6-12 hours

If your not doing that assume longer

With leveling gear + keys for dungeons hyper fast

[cedar locust]

That's true - The 6 hour estimate is based on knowing what you're doing, and using an alt

[slow eagle]

Yea

I personally tend to take longer cause I just level with what I want my end game build to be using skill wise

But like with sentinel if you level with hammer throw you will just shred everything

[cedar locust]

I'm learning that! It's a fun skill 😁

[slow eagle]

Just wait till you get going with smite on throwing attack hit idols

[fluid saddle]

ah okay thx guess will see whats going on in terms of balance with new season still unsure what imma play tho

[slow eagle]

My recommendation is just pick what seems fun/cool

Min maxing can come later

[tribal meadow]

Raxx speedruning LE

[slow eagle]

[fluid saddle]

min maxing come first cause with starting merchant faction ill play ssf later do whatever i find cool

[tribal meadow]

You're playing MG now?

[slow eagle]

MG now is a mistake, MG is dead as hell

[fluid saddle]

i will whenever the new season drops on the 2nd

[slow eagle]

Ah

[tribal meadow]

Aaaah

Now wouldn't be a good time

CoF 4 lyfe

[fluid saddle]

i like watching money go up :)

[tribal meadow]

Me having 200k in bank, time for some Lightless Arbor

I'm always on the verge of being evicted from End of Time for not paying rent

[fluid saddle]

:(

[tribal meadow]

Pls Mr. Monolith, I promise I pay next time I hit it big in Arbor

[slow eagle]

Do the friendly spriggan Easter egg and if you get evicted you can crash in their house

[tribal meadow]

Maybe I could yoink some of Sprig's stuff and pawn it off for more rolls in Arbor

[slow eagle]

How dare

[tribal meadow]

100% of loser stop before hitting it big

I feel the next roll will be yuuuuge

[slow eagle]

Tbh that thought process says go to soul fire bastion

[tribal meadow]

But but... what about Mountain set

LP3 any moment now

[fluid saddle]

also does the explosive ballista build still exist

i feel like that prob got gutted (havent played since 1.0) but thought id ask

[dusky kite]

it was lightly nerfed

[fluid saddle]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQO8IIIZx7A

[slow eagle]

I think that still exists

[fluid saddle]

reference

[tribal meadow]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/ballista-falconer-guide

[slow eagle]

I rarely play rogue so refer to everyone else

[tribal meadow]

I only play bad Marksman builds

[fluid saddle]

thats not it

[slow eagle]

Join sentinel gang

We have the best helmet in the game

[tribal meadow]

[slow eagle]

[last kayak]

Nah, Mage gang. We have the best lightning skills

[tribal meadow]

I played Blast Rain when Harbies dropped and I was having hard time bossing, turns out it's B-tier on Maxroll, pretty accurate

Mage is super powerful, I did 2 builds and they were up there

Surprisingly tanky due to big ward generation

[fluid saddle]

i recall playing wraithlord minion build

that was something to say the least 💀

did just a little bit of dmg

[slow eagle]

That’s how having 40k hit points just be

[tribal meadow]

Mine wasn't that big

[slow eagle]

Bro needs more knowledge

Tho also pre ward formula change, it was a lot easier

[tribal meadow]

I don't really play that much, I'm embarassed to share my hours

I plan to double them in 1.2

[slow eagle]

Are you having fun

[tribal meadow]

Yea, that's why I zimp the game so much, only had fun playing

[slow eagle]

Then why worry about hours as some kind of badge

Just have fun

[tribal meadow]

Yoooo

CoF prophecies kinda get free lens slots

No need to waste them on Arena blocking

[slow eagle]

Ye

[tribal meadow]

New lenses coming?

[slow eagle]

Arena echo blocking in general too

[tribal meadow]

🤔

[slow eagle]

Probably

[tribal meadow]

Arena echo blocking but then there's the arena juice node

[slow eagle]

If we can trade the weaver faction stuff there’s gonna be prophecies for it

[slow eagle]

That juice better be like 10000% more drops or else arenas will still not be worth

[desert tree]

Super Arena, to farm Arena Uniques without playing Arenas

[slow eagle]

Tripling arena drops is still like 5 rares worth of drops

And I don’t think arenas are getting extra content added to them right

Like no nemi

[desert tree]

All the waves at once and the Arena Champion

[slow eagle]

Oh

Ok that might be worth to just zoom through them faster

[desert tree]

Yeah, otherwise it can be abused

[desert tree]

I should have put in emote
It's a theory, wish, hope, prayer
Not an affirmation

[slow eagle]

Wait how do arena echos abuse nemi

[slow eagle]

I see

[tribal meadow]

Am I misrembering or was the Arena juice node basically "more champion enemies" or something?

So Arena = champion affix farming?

[desert tree]

Imagine you open a arena echo with a nemi/mage
You kill it, exit, come back and it's up

[slow eagle]

Ah

My brain was imagining that they would show up after you cleared the arena

[tribal meadow]

Yea, they already learned their lesson with 1st nemesis implementation

I didn't even understand why people farmed it

[slow eagle]

Ez

Literally just ez

[tribal meadow]

Didn't realize you can stick purples in to give them more FP

FP = Fumbling Potential

[slow eagle]

Wait

Additional champions

[quartz iris]

hey this good

[slow eagle]

Do arena echos get champs by default now

[desert tree]

Don't know if they can do that but that would be cool

[slow eagle]

I could see like a door opens after you clear it and bonus content is just placed behind the door

Instead of spawning them in afterwards

[desert tree]

I hope it's Arena Champions, and not Champions from the Champions affixes

[slow eagle]

Good point

[slow eagle]

[wet timber]

why did i die?

[tribal meadow]

The three blue missiles she shot at you despawned visually and hit you

[wet timber]

they despawn after few sec

[tribal meadow]

Report it as a bug please

[wet timber]

and why the profane veil doesnt cover me when it hits me? its not dot dmg

[wet timber]

it = chilled seeker

[surreal verge]

Your clip shows you're not on profane veil.

[wet timber]

yeah but it;'s different question

[surreal verge]

Nevermind, found the (funnier) answer. Undodgable.

[wet timber]

what website is this

[surreal verge]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/dungeons

[wet timber]

ty

this shit happens every time now

[lavish dew]

Yes you need to be aware of undodgeable attacks with Profane veil (and also Silver shrouds). Heorot, Harbingers, Orobyss and many other bosses have such attacks and the game does not communicate it properly.

[alpine pendant]

Did the timer on last epoch site always count down to April first? I thought the release was on april 2nd

[slow eagle]

Different timezones?

[alpine pendant]

maybe, but with the time it counts to it would only be april 2nd in australia, japan, NZ etc.

[slow eagle]

I have no idea where EHG is located officially given they all work remote

But it’s probably the start of April second there

[toxic echo]

the timer is off. believe its for when servers go down

[alpine pendant]

aah ic, thx

[toxic echo]

the release of 1.2 is april 2nd 11am cst

[storm wren]

The good thing of offline mode is here

Play the game anytime even the server is down

[toxic echo]

to a point. you cant download 1.2 early, so, you are still playing 1.1 until 11am when they push the update to steam and update the servers and stuff

[sleek yew]

When a merge (season to legacy) occurs:
1 Does Favor get merged in?
2 Do Legacy CoF/MG tiers increase from favor/rep gained in season?
3 What happens when "Merge" button is clicked?
*(ed- fixed typo)

[tribal meadow]

Are servers gonna be ok? The recent drama probably brought a lot more people that will batter the servers to get their 2 day gameplay sesh in

[outer mango]

No one can answer that. We can only hope

[tribal meadow]

Servers die on launch

1. good because lots of people coming back
2. bad because I can't play 😡

[outer mango]

Im sure they learned alot from 1.0 launch

[tribal meadow]

You can never predict these things, I do expect issues on launch

[toxic echo]

1. 90% certain its merged, unless you are at cap (999,999 iirc)
2. your highest tier will remain, either from before or after.
3. the 'stashes merge' and the faction rep/rank gets put where it needs to go. nothing really happens to the actual item stash at all

issues, sure. weeks long issues, no. pretty much every online game nowadays has some minor server hiccups the first few hours

[sleek yew]

Stashes merge means you have access to the older season's stash as remove-only, right?

[toxic echo]

yeah

oh, and your gold gets merged as well, unless you are at cap

2.1 billion

crafting mats are unlimited, so, no issues there

[sleek yew]

I'm reading that as you don't gain tiers, just get the highest earned, but you do get favor and could spend it, maybe raising tiers, right?

[toxic echo]

so if you were ranks 10 cof and 10 mg in legacy. and you went to merge 1.1, and you were 12 cof and 8 mg. legacy would be 12 cof and 10 mg

[sleek yew]

hehe, if actual merger of stashes, I'm likely gonna go over the 200 limit (is that still the limit?)

[toxic echo]

yeah but i dont think remove only counts towards that limit

but eventually you will need to remove the only seasons stashes. but ehg will warn us before that

[sleek yew]

That makes sense, assuming they are searched separately, since search performance was one of the main limiters on stash tabs, if I remember correctly.

CoF -> Too many tabs!!!

Cleaning/ordering stashes is a major pain point.

[tribal meadow]

Remove only tabs can be compressed and just have a table that tracks what was removed, does search even work across tabs in LE at the moment?

But you'd want to consolidate that stuff eventually cause it will bloat either way

[median zenith]

All stash merging logic runs when you click the button. The only automatic thing is moving your previous season's characters to legacy.

When merging, for factions:

• your highest rank/rep for each faction is applied to legacy (merging can't make you lose ranks if you have higher progress in legacy than the last season)
• favor is never merged so spend it in season while you have it!

Stash tabs and their contents are never merged; the old season's stash is forever preserved as remove only tabs so you can remove items manually as you want to get them (this is to avoid edge cases w/ the 200 tab limit and to avoid making the optimal way to play legacy be to play season until you buy 200 more tabs)

We also have some UX improvements to the process to provide more visibility coming in season 2: you'll get a confirmation modal that lists what is going to be merged (or notes if everything has already been merged) so hopefully that helps make it a bit more intuitive what is actually happening

[tribal meadow]

Someone told Mike during the stream and they're aware of it, we might get something like ghost version of last seasons tabs that you unlock with gold as you progress

[sleek yew]

Thank you for that very thorough answer!

Glad to hear there is some attention to this from EHG. Anything that makes stash management easier would be welcome!

[tribal meadow]

Mono navigation is pretty donk tbh, I hope they clear that up

[storm wren]

Catch a agent before go to bed, satisfying

[last kayak]

This would be amazing. I'd love to not need to set it up from scratch each time

[hexed wasp]

is the dbl more text on shattered chains a typo or is it giving more damage of the total more damage. i know its been answered but i forget where

[inner mountain]

should just be a typo

[little wind]

is there power levelling here? ive never tried to group at all

[last kayak]

I don't believe so, I think your XP caps out at +10 levels above you, and you can do that content by yourself no problem.

[hexed wasp]

yes u can be boosted/plvled but its not fast and as you need to unlock idols/passives on all alts generally its best to wait to play with others until you do that as you have to do it anyways if u want the most out of your build.

[last kayak]

Also you can get through the campaign in a solid 6ish hours, so it's not a huge time commitment to make it to monos, then it's generally pretty smooth sailing from there

[fluid horizon]

What are the non-obvious differences between Online mode, Offline mode and Full Offline mode?

[little wind]

raxx did campaign to monos in 3 horus today lol

[median zenith]

Off the top of my head, but I think this is everything that's different:

Online mode - multiplayer, bazaar if MG, leaderboards, MTX
Offline mode - everything in the game besides the above, can still chat
Full Offline mode - offline mode but no chat

[fluid horizon]

I forgot to ask, is the game pause-able at any time in Offline mode?

[thorny pivot]

I think offline mode still has MTX, as you are connected to the server and only in full offline you have no MTX

or am I missing things?

[blazing glacier]

I think only full offline uses locally saved data too iirc? I forget

like character data

[median zenith]

Offline vs Full Offline are both using the same local offline character/stash data - the only difference is if you are logged in/connected at all (i.e. can access chat)

[blazing glacier]

oh neat, I wasn't aware

[median zenith]

I suppose you also can't submit in game bug reports if in full offline since you're not connected. But worth noting if you ever have a bug in full offline, you can connect in online then submit it and mention you had the bug in your last run. We get logs from current and previous game launch when you submit bug reports and keep the add player data toggle checked

[median zenith]

yup! totally forgot you can pause in either offline or full offline mode

[indigo timber]

does this node in earthquake remove any functionality from scaling crit?

[desert tree]

For the Aftershocks yes

Since they are now Dot and Dot cant crit

But the Initial Slam is still a hit and can still Crit

[indigo timber]

okay thank you, i was wondering about aftershocks

[shut walrus]

does this mean im immune to crit?

[faint cape]

Yes

[shut walrus]

guess i got lucky drop im in offline mode

[dire bronze]

How does Corsair work with Deflect and weave LE tools is showing both at high chance

[faint cape]

Things can only be converted once

[dire bronze]

So does one take prority or do they swap?

[faint cape]

They swap

[quartz iris]

nooooooooooooooo my item

[dusky kite]

alt z

[quartz iris]

i have the record for my gameplay

[dusky kite]

then rebind it

[quartz iris]

i cant see any item drop now

[deep rover]

with set crafting do you think its possible to slam set affixes to legendaries or does item change to "set item" after it has any set affix in it?

[restive epoch]

From FrozenSentinel video I understood you can use shattered set affixed to roll on exalted items and they become somewhat slightly green and not slammable to craft legendaries... but if someone can confirm this, that would be great 😄

[deep rover]

yeah thats why i was wondering how its going to be since they said in last weeks podcast samething about them turning slightly green

has there been anything about new set items?

watched the podcast again and yeah not possible to slam set affix to legendary😢

[surreal verge]

Reforged set items cannot be used for legendary crafting

[deep rover]

Have they mentioned where we can spend memory ambers?

[dusky kite]

they also explicitly said that it was intended as an alternative to uniques/legendaries when it comes to itemization

[fading wave]

Hmm , if people already say that 2 Lens spots are basically taken by default , then i think that is a thing that can be reworked

[desert tree]

Most likely to the Woven Npc

[dusky kite]

we had been saying this within days of COF release, that was what, over a year ago now?

which is to say that they are in no hurry to rework the lens, havent announced anything either

tbh the lens and prophecies system could use a helluva lot of work

[vale thistle]

lenses should let you target items you actually care about, not just be generic loot multipliers or ways to block silly stuff like campaign prophecies

[dusky kite]

yea I fail to see a reason why you shouldn't be able to slot an item into the lens and target it directly (for uniques) or something very close (for exalts)

[vale thistle]

like multipliers to specific item base types from your prophecies, or specific exalted affixes, etc

[dusky kite]

if this is too "easy" then they can make the process of crafting such a customized lens more expensive or nuanced

or increase the prophecy costs accordingly

[vale thistle]

gimme 500% increased chance of t7 exalted cast speed eternal gauntlets 😁

[deep rover]

Havent played for while. What are those two spots?

[dusky kite]

Refracting Lens of Rhyme and Refracting Lens of Wealth

[deep rover]

Ok thanks

[opal nest]

Does this Dread Shade node refert to health of targetted minion?
like if the target minion is low health and other minions affected by the aura is on full health, do the node works on full health minions?

[surreal verge]

It's checked on a per-minion basis. So the target minion gets it but the other minions don't.

[lavish dew]

Has anyone managed to use the Scales of Eterra buffs effectively? and by that I mean not as a stat stick legendary on a build that does not proc the infusions.

[desert tree]

Not that I know of

[proud prawn]

I dont think that's even possible

at least until we're given more control for what/when to apply/deapply the buff/debuff

[lavish dew]

I thought the idea is you have to proc the second infusion immediately after the first so your main element gets a net damage boost from the stacks without going into overload. I could do this on my Fire Runemaster so per stack I should be getting a net 4% more fire damage for a maximum of 40% at 10 stacks and skipping fire overload since cold overload overwrites it. But the overall damage when testing on a dummy felt worse than a regular catalyst with T5 spell damage...

[proud prawn]

problem is you only get the maximum benefit while reaching 10 stacks for exactly 1 second lol

[surreal verge]

4-40% more damage at half the uptime isn't that good.

[proud prawn]

while the non-max stack bonus is not insignificant, it's still pretty annoying to use

AND the hardest problem is finding a good scale with LP and slam

even a highroll 6% 1LP scale with desired t7 slam is not that much better than a t7 exalted skull

but way harder to find

[lavish dew]

Yeah that's the problem is it just a scuffed item or is there some better use case for it

[proud prawn]

it's still BiS if you can actually find it tho

[surreal verge]

The only other use case would be a dual-element build, which sucks for other reasons

[proud prawn]

find and utilize i mean

[lavish dew]

It wouldn't work for a dual element since Overload would heavily penalize damage

[lavish dew]

That's the thing, even with a build that could utilize it I feel it is not worth the headache of maintaining

[proud prawn]

i think if the cooldown is either removed/reduced down to 10 sec it would be much more usable

[surreal verge]

By that I meant cycle between fire only spells then cold only spells and repeat, you’ll in theory have 100% uptime

But that sucks

[lavish dew]

Yeah I was racking my head around what could actually do this

Only thing I could come up with is Abacus Rod Runebolt which is well... Runebolt and hence deals no damage

and you'll be skipping the numeromancy buff

[dusky kite]

actually wrong, I tested it a few weeks ago and asked Mike. He confirmed my testing results, this only checks the health of the minion this is on, and if it is not on a minion (like for example if you pick the node that has it attach to mobs) this has no effect at all

[dusky kite]

^

[dusky kite]

the effective way to us it is in a mono element build of the third element that doesn't interact with any of the stacking effects at all, in this way it's pretty much a BIS base for many builds

base stats are already decent on a high roll and if you can get it with LP it's free real estate

[lavish dew]

Yea that's why I specified not using it as an LP stat stick. If the item's main mechanic is that bad maybe it needs to be reworked.

[dusky kite]

yeah it's kinda bad but the needs to be reworked sentiment applies to dozens of uniques

some of them are meme in a good way but a lot of them are either downright broken or a meme in a bad way

[lavish dew]

who hurt you? (which unique I mean)

[dusky kite]

i.e. require a lot of effort for very subpar result, are straight up dead end designs, support something that doesn't exist and has no reasonable chance of existing in the future and so on

[dusky kite]

let me pull up a convenient spreadsheet I have for this specific argument

[lavish dew]

Yesss then EHG can copy paste from it for 1.2 buffs

[dusky kite]

somnia, shroud of obscurity, roots of vithrasil, rainbow edge, abacus rod, shattered cycle, the slab, liaths signet, serpent's milk

and a few dozens of others that are a little more arguable

also 112 entries in the "meme" column which aren't all the fun kind of meme

[storm wren]

Oh. Yeah this game is dead but why are you still here 👀

You can enjoy your Poe 2, it's fine.
I'll play both.

[lavish dew]

Ayy I actually use Abacus rod, its pretty good and BiS for my build at 1000 corruption. Liath's I've seen as a potential use for channeled elemental nova(with crest of unity). Serpent's milk is free frostbite chance for stuff like thorn totems and also saw use in the Serpent venom build.

[lavish dew]

Rainbow edge has good stats so its weird but the rest I would definitely agree especially vithrasil

[dusky kite]

rainbow edge isn't particularly good on stats but its bigger issue is that what kind of a design is it even aiming at? Low amounts of elemental melee damage spread evenly across multiple types just doesn't have any demand in the broad context of the game's mechanics

[lavish dew]

I would ignore that, focus on the high roll on the other two stats. 75% crit multi can be cool in a few scenarios but more importantly, 75% shock chance with a T7 shock chance slam is probably the highest you can get on a 1h weapon. There's 3 scenarios this can be good: brand of deception, lightning net and storm totem.

[proud prawn]

rainbow edge is pretty much bis stat stick sword wdym lol

[lavish dew]

Although ignore storm totem since you can get minion flat spell dmg

[proud prawn]

best base attack rate

upto 75% crit multi

48 flat

ez 4 LP

[vale thistle]

IIRC rainbow edge is the only unique weapon with shock chance, which makes it BiS for some net build that scales shock chance for damage

[proud prawn]

point out a better sword pls

also built in shock and chill

[vale thistle]

and even if it wasn't useful that doesn't mean it will never be, as long as an item does something actually unique there's always a chance

[dusky kite]

I'm pretty sure that for more or less any given build you can find a better weapon, although I will concede that having a baseline chance to shock roll might be useful in some builds that scale off it

[toxic echo]

a really good crystal sword exalted will outperform rainbow edge

but it does have its uses

[proud prawn]

you know what

i saw a vast majority of players saying Kris is by far the best dagger base

[dusky kite]

alright reddit what is the reasonable use for chronostasis?

[proud prawn]

and rainbow edge does as a sword pretty much the same thing kris does as a dagger

but straight up better

dont think of it as an unique

think of it as a base

you'll see how freaking good it is 😁

[vale thistle]

chronostasis looks cool, beyond that idk

ward to melee damage is a rough mechanic to build around

[lavish dew]

chronostasis is awful imo but someone had used it I think in Smelters wrath

[dusky kite]

ah yes certainly how could I miss it, alchemist's ladle

[surreal verge]

Someone who wants their weapon to be purely defensive and isn’t attacking themselves

[dusky kite]

it was dread and it was super niche and also super meme

[surreal verge]

Which is… 2 builds

[dusky kite]

with a convenient affix to sabotage yourself if you accidentally right click a mob

[surreal verge]

For some reason it was bis defensively for necros for a short while

[surreal verge]

Minion builds don’t have that problem-

[dusky kite]

also more or less all of the proc melee weapons like volcanus, endeavor, stormbringer etc are tuned so poorly that they don't have any real use case in most builds

[surreal verge]

Is it the intended use? Heck no. But did it work for that short while? Kinda

[faint cape]

Not using feet feet icon, smh

[dusky kite]

especially ever since the proc builds shifted over to using dagorath's claw

[lavish dew]

True they have poor tuning but I saw volcanus used in a spellblade build by raziel. Stormbringer is technically the highest DPS weapon for lightning wolves (west wind).

[dusky kite]

is it better than double maws? Last time I checked it wasn't

[faint cape]

Tempest maws are higher dps for lightning wolves.
But anyway, not all uniques need to be the best in any particular build. I feel like people tend to think if an item isn't BIS it's worthless

[dusky kite]

I mean my criteria is more of "reasonably usable in at least one build", although if it isn't BIS for that specific build then it does raise the question whether it's all that "reasonably" usable there.

[faint cape]

I think that criteria is good, it shouldn't raise that question though for typical players

[lavish dew]

Double maw is 228 max lightning damage but comes with 9% more damage taken. Stormbreaker is 209 max lightning damage but 15% DR with Titan heart

[faint cape]

Like the lightning hammer is way easier to get ready to go in lightning wolves compared to maws, but has a lower ceiling, which is a reasonable tradeoff

[lavish dew]

Dual maw is way too squish, you atleast want 1 Cleaver sol. I personally use an Opulent focus with single Maw

[faint cape]

A lot of why maws are better is higher base speed for more wolf spirit procs

[dusky kite]

the hammer also has a significantly slower attack speed which is relevant in the build

also the maws have 14% lightning pen per, which is another small buff to personal damage

[lavish dew]

Still doubt dual maws speed is worth the massive damage taken if you are spamming swipe

I use the cooldown variant tho

[dusky kite]

nah no real benefit to using it over no cooldown in wolves

[lavish dew]

nah you get guaranteed wolves with cooldown variant and are allowed to run around nd cast other stuff. Also the heal is big in high corruption.

[surreal verge]

High corruption’s defense issue is mostly getting one shotted more than recovery

[lavish dew]

Wolves don't get one shot thanks to the node your endurance applies to wolves. This is my setup https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/A6LvwWpB swipe heal is strong in fights like lagon and fire shamans where the DoT or big attacks can shred your wolves health. While heal only applies to a single wolf at a time with a 1.6 sec cooldown and good placement you can heal the weaker ones.

Is there a build thats viable for bleed falconeer that uses umbral blades ?

[cedar locust]

This build exists from 1.0 so I'm not sure how much might have changed with it - https://www.lastepochtools.com/build-guides/hyper-bleed-falconer, you can load it into LETools Build planner and migrate it to 1.1.7 though 🙂

I need help. I've been trying to get strands of souls belt from the abomination. Been running the timeline at lvl 100+ for many hours already but not a single one dropped. Am I doing something wrong? Because 'up to 45% chance' doesn't seem to work for me. Right now I'm about to run yet another abomination at corruption level 131 and 106% inc item rarity and I'm sure it won't drop again.

[storm wren]

Ave: let me boost his luck

[cedar locust]

I shouldn't, but here - ✨ Loot Drop Boost ✨ (single use, can be used for 1 (one) item or weapon or armour/gear, results not guaranteed)

Damn right Kirra!

[gleaming salmon]

lmao. So is it just my bad luck while I;m actually doing the farm right?

nah, yet another woven flash. Thing is I feel stuck and not progressing at all with my build. I just can't get the items I need

[hexed wasp]

im talking about a skill that leaves a damaging trail behind you as you walk

[storm wren]

oh you will not want to miss chthonic fissure from warlock.

[restive epoch]

It should drop for sure... higher corruption would give it a better chances tho... and are you sure-sure you dont have unique belts hidden with loot filter for whatever reason? 😄

[gleaming salmon]

I’m using frozen’s fc sorc build and his loot filter too. On top of that I’m always double checking the hidden unique drops on the ground with X

[inner mountain]

if you're always checking them you should just add a rule to the filter to always show them

will save you time

are mtx available in offline yet?

Even Ziz's video got a lot comments supporting LE

[leaden grail]

Is the Skeletal Mage's Undead Mortar worth using? The skill description says "large area of effect", but at least the visual of the impact is anything but large. And since the damage is lower then the base attack's damage, I wonder if I should even take it.

[quartz iris]

my boss fly away

[surreal verge]

It's an extra spell it can cast and doesn't replace the auto attack. It might be worth it.

[leaden grail]

Oh. I was under the impression that the cast would replace a cast of the default attack. I suppose in that case it's just more damage.

[dusky kite]

this would make sense if only most of LE mobs didn't rely on chasing you with auto-attacks, it would be very annoying to use in practice

[storm wren]

lv 99, you must play this character for a long time

[toxic echo]

one day they will fix this bug

[inner mountain]

you scared it off

[tribal meadow]

It happens when your damage is too high

[quartz iris]

he touch me 1 hit man

[tranquil obsidian]

i swear Rayeh fight would much better with Benny hill themes, it has always the funniest bugs around. And useful. Once it duplicated my drops

[faint cape]

It does take time to cast. Also note it does have a really low base crit chance for no reason. Like 2% or 2.5%, can't remember exactly.

[cedar locust]

You joke, but that's literally one of the songs I play when a Boss fight is frustrating me 😂

[rugged sinew]

does anyone know where i can find a guaranteed rare monster spawn in low level story zones, need to test something

is the game going sale? 😭

[vale thistle]

probably not until the summer sale in june

[slow eagle]

runes of ascension can make any world drop unique (not a boss drop and not a soul gambler unique) so that should be the same pool of uniques as the echo reward uniques

[surreal verge]

Yes, because those only drop world drop/random drop uniques

I mean, those people are experiencing the same, might be different, but it is doing the same thing

[lean trellis]

Have they mentioned if they've given controller users a way to target a specific minion with a spell in 1.2? I was doing a single skele mage + underlings to blow up regular skeletons build, but it was frustrating trying to get dread shade on my mage consistently.

Just that they are working in those kind of interactions with skills.

[echo bobcat]

Have a question about the gear in later levels. Currently playing Lv83 Beastmaster and enjoying my build. My highest level gear is lv 73 relic, and I haven't found newer stuff that improves my wolf minion reliant build.

I see unique and set items dropping while I'm doing different runs in the Alternate Timelines, but nothing close to my level. The last set that dropped was Sentinel specific but around lv 40. Last unique was lv 65. I'm hoarding these in stash unsure if they are used for materials later (similar to Diablo 3).

Am I suppose to be forging more than grinding for experience? I have a very basic understanding of the forge from wiki sources but don't fully understand. Is it worth hoarding the unique and set items as none of them work with my Beastmaster build?

Thanks for the help.

[wide sentinel]

Why do you mention item levels, they dont matter in this game

Take items that do something for your build

[inner mountain]

elon moment

[toxic echo]

Probly cuz they just joined today and dont know that compared to other arpg games where it does matter

[inner mountain]

like misha said, item levle isn'ta great indicator of item power, you should learn your way around the forge! it's one of your most powerful tools

[queen aurora]

Was there a cycle reset? I just started playing yesterday

[toxic echo]

Base gear lvl only exists to gate 'better' bases, though depending on your build some times a lower lvl base is better/fits better in your build. The important part is the implicit affixes, and the crafted affixes you put on.

Sets arent currently used for anything other than equip. Uniques can be made into legendaries (search legendary items in the game guide)

Yes, you should be forging your items. That is the main source of gear progression outside of getting lucky on a drop. There are tons of crafting videos on youtube if you want to see in action. I believe aaron has a good one. Click the link below (its not monetized ignore the $5)

[toxic echo]

I mean...did you play before september 19th?

[queen aurora]

I played yesterday

[toxic echo]

Lol

Thats weird

[queen aurora]

oh nevermind they're still here, but it did say my cycle character has been migrated to legacy

thats so strange

just had to exit character creation

[toxic echo]

Well. As long as they still exist

I guess its ok

[queen aurora]

yeah thanks sorry was just jarring lol

[toxic echo]

Nah, all good

[echo bobcat]

Thank you. I appreciate the help. As someone mentioned in chat, I'm fairly new to this game so I don't have a grasp of all the mechanics or systems within the game.

[toxic echo]

Yeah. Its all good. This place is normally pretty chill abouy new player questions, so, feel free to ask.

Tho i will tell you that the ingame guide has tons of great info that gets overlooked

[mortal seal]

hmmm which faction do yall like playing? i went with CoF

[last kayak]

Definitely COF for me to start, trading always feels like a different game that I don't like to play

I wish other ARPGs supported SSF play with COF-like mechanics

[faint cape]

LE is a trendsetter, others will hopefully follow. GD is pretty good for SSF play, but it's not seasonal

[last kayak]

The theme of GD never really hooked me. I'd love to have a newer game using their class system though.

[bronze fossil]

are there build guys for the new season? or is it still too early?

[last kayak]

Too early, gonna have to wait until patch notes for anything concrete

[bronze fossil]

cool thanks

[faint cape]

Good chance though that most build guides that are current will still be valid, just be careful around sentinel ones since that class is getting the most changes

[blazing glacier]

Or any builds named something like "BEST MOST OP BROKEN BUILD OF 1.1" or similar

[median zenith]

LBH imma go into season 2 w/ a build plan then halfway thru the campaign i'll drop a unique for a completely different build, get excited about that, and reroll 😛

[blazing glacier]

@median zenith orrrr use the SHINY NEW MASTERY RESPEC TECHNOLOGY?!

[median zenith]

heh that assumes that Nemesis decides to give me something for same class but different mastery, but that wily guy always loves to give my mage uniques for paladin and vice versa XD

[faint cape]

Why do I feel like that won't narrow it down?

[drowsy jungle]

Moreee skillsss pleassee

Barbarian is so good, but it tied to totems 😭

[last kayak]

Did we get it confirmed if Rune of Havok will respect affix rarity, or is it completely random?

I think I saw that Rune of Redemption will

[faint cape]

No, we haven't as far as I know, but I assume it's unweighted between affixes

[last kayak]

I was thinking that it was but I thought I saw it asked

[storm wren]

I want to learn which areas Frozensentiel have manage data by these spreadsheets. Where these data come from?

I'm guessing manual inputs, but @blazing glacier could probably confirm

Hello, does anyone maybe have a fix for the "Mute Error Voice Lines" Button turning itself off right after activating it?

I tried some things like restarting etc. And went around reddit etc. To find a solution but I can't seem to find one?

[desert tree]

First time I heard about that

Try verifying your files

If it doesn't fix it, please send a bug report

[fringe dome]

I've seen several reports on the support forums but none were ever answered with a solution sadly

This is the most recent one I saw and its a year old

[dusky kite]

huh? If you are talking about primalist here, then it has basically two (and a half) totem builds and dozens of builds that aren't totem focused.

Hey guys, so coming back to LE after playing 1.0 for like a month or so, so its been almost a year? I was wondering, when I reach act 5, and gain access to Temporal Sanctum, if I understood it correctly, I go monoliths, until a Temporal Sanctum key drops, and I do the sanctum, and in turn I get to skip until act 9?

Do I get all the rewards? Like the +1 to all attributes, or do I have to kill Majessa to do so? Anything else I miss out on? I understand if I have missed out on passives/idols I just do a few side quest in any area, but do I gain access to factions after doing temporal sanctum? If so, where do I go to get the faction?

[surreal verge]

You'll still have to kill Masjessa to get the +1 to all, the dungeon skips you to the start of Act 9, which you can then progress normally for her + Factions (Which are unlocked in Act9's town).

[desert tree]

@outer mango Saw your question in dev chat
I am curious, what would you consider better quests reward?

Crafting mats? More gold? More exp ?

[outer mango]

Just more exp, its so little atm it barely moves my xp bar

Could add something more too to make them more interesting

[restive epoch]

%xp of your current lvl when you complete it? Instead of some fixed low amount that it is now

[outer mango]

Idk but 1500xp at lvl45 doesnt feel good 🥹

U need 42k exp to next lvl at lvl45

Just an example, quest rewards are bad at every lvl

[cedar locust]

Let me go check internally, though I have a feeling this is on the list of 'We keep trying to fix this but there is a code-gremlin with a grudge' type bugs 🥲

Oh, the fix is ready for review! 🤞 😁

[faint cape]

I think the intention is to not make them feel mandatory

Same idea behind the tiny vendor sell value on items

[outer mango]

I dont want them mandatory, just some nice exp if you dont wanna rush to monoliths

[worthy summit]

It only drops from empowered, you are probably killing abomination in non-empowered.

hope that helps, source: https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzCM4JiA

[faint cape]

I would like that if they made the campaign level more aggressively or gave less monster xp or something, I feel like it's already easy to accidentally way overlevel your content

[faint cape]

They did say 131c, so they are in empowered. It's just a rare drop and 131c is very low, drop chance won't be near 45% at all.

[outer mango]

Yeah i guess its tricky thing to balance

[buoyant condor]

They nerfed the 20000 gold quest due to abuse/cheese

[faint cape]

Yeah, that was sad. At least xp quests probably don't have that same abuse concern

[outer mango]

Oh i have missed that abuse completely

Meaning never heard of it

[faint cape]

Bots were probably using two accounts, one to anchor and one just making new chars, partying, teleport, grab 20k, repeat. Something like that

[outer mango]

Right

I hate cheaters

[blazing glacier]

yup manual input, @storm wren - also cross check with Tunk. I also had some help with verifying from a few other folks. I've fixed a couple that weren't correct. Right now it might not be correct but I expect 1.2 to change anyway so I haven't gone through it

[gilded rover]

Ok so I’m embarrassed to say I didn’t play much of s1 (had a lot going on that nows calmed down) and with s2 coming up I’m gonna pick LE back up. Does anyone have any good video resources of what all is new in s1 ? I don’t wanna confuse old s1 with new s2. Thx in advance y’all 🙂

[slow eagle]

Merchants guild vs Circle of fortune

I know the MG&CoF but those other things sound interesting

[vale thistle]

there's an official summary of season 1 stuff here: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/harbingers-of-ruin-whats-new/71684

[gilded rover]

Thx 🙂 I’ll give it a read

[slow eagle]

The game guide also has pages on everything

I think i've missed the time and the timezone for release. Is it known? or we only know the date?

[round portal]

Is there an interview with Ghazzy today, everyone?

[desert tree]

5pm GMT

[desert tree]

Yes later today

[slow eagle]

Is that when the server goes down or when the servers go up

Isn’t the website counter for when they go down

[desert tree]

Server go up

I might be off of 1hour or so

Because Winter Time shenannigans

[slow eagle]

<@&1161418687471956101>

There’s a sus link everywhere

Thanks moderator ❤️

[desert tree]

I dont have every channels up, if I missed one pinged me there

[slow eagle]

I think it purges their messages if you ban them

[desert tree]

I cant ban
Only TO

But I see Ave brought the big guns already

[storm wren]

to?

I banned, I purged, we clean

[next timber]

Hi guys is this idol exists, never found one

[desert tree]

Yes, but idols are hard to find
A lot of possibilities

[dusky kite]

finding specific idols is a PITA in general

[next timber]

but i couldnt find the loot filter for it..

[desert tree]

%Health is in General I believe

[dusky kite]

its a bit of a trap but some general idol stats can get onto class specific idols

[next timber]

make sense, thanks

[jaunty arch]

this keyboard popped up on my screen and I cant seem to get rid of it for use my mouse in game now, how to get rid of it?

i dont even have a controller plugged in so im not sure how it happened

[inner mountain]

i'd just restart the game tbh

[slow eagle]

That’s the windows on screen keyboard

Somewhere in your settings can turn it off, tho you probably somehow hit a key shortcut to make it show up

[jaunty arch]

u sure? it was only showing up in game, if i alt tabbed out it wasnt there

[slow eagle]

Hmmm

[jaunty arch]

i think i figured it out, i have a moza r5 sim racing wheel and it was turned on showing up as a controller in game

[slow eagle]

Does the Xbox game bar have its own on screen keyboard

[slow eagle]

Fair enough

[hexed wasp]

So i cant remember if items with cooldown affix's interact with item cooldown skills. for exaple if i have a time glass neck with the refill live save every 20 seconds by default. and i equip a boot with -30% cooldown. does the neck ability change from 20 seconds or is it now 20-30% to be 16 seconds for item skill to proc.

[faint cape]

No, cooldown affixes only affect cooldowns on your skill bar

[hexed wasp]

thank you, also sad face

[cyan trout]

Hey chat, I haven't played since launch, I'm kinda itching for some ARPG goodness, I was thinking: is it worth it coming back to the game now for a little while or do I wait for the big patch coming in the start of April?

[toxic echo]

you can play now, and the toon will be playable in legacy with all the content from season 2 patch

or just play now and get used to the changes in 1.1, so you are ready for a new season in 1.2

really depends on what you think is worth or not

[cyan trout]

Moreso I just don't wanna be like burnt out by the time the new big patch comes out lel

[toxic echo]

again, thats more of a you thing. lol

[cyan trout]

Fair enough, fair enough

[rich widget]

i have a stash from 1.1 and i want to retain all the stash tabs, is there a way to move it to my legacy stash with tabs intact?

[faint cape]

No, unfortunately

[hexed wasp]

hello, can anyone think of a way to convert damned into ignite. kind of like how if you equip bleeding heart and maehlin hubris gloves the self bleed stacks become self ignite stacks

[surreal verge]

Don't think so.\

There's no method iirc

[hexed wasp]

dang there goes that warlock idea, thanks 4 reply though

[wide sentinel]

@lavish dew on your question in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs the affixes that get deleted from the game are replaced with new affixes, same as what we had with ring affixes previously, so your legacy idols will change

[lavish dew]

Damn waste of time farming them then...

[lavish dew]

The opposite exists with the pyre of affliction axe (ignite to damned).

[lavish dew]

health regen on boots and cooldown recovery on helmets did not change so maybe there's hope?

[hexed wasp]

thanks but i need the damned to go ignite for the soul bastion belt

[faint cape]

Yeah, it's a case-by-case basis. The affix removed from rings was done mid-cycle and they wanted to limit the maximum people could get of that affix, so it got changed (arguably to a better affix, which also never was and still isn't possible to roll on rings). The health regen swap was done between cycles and didn't have the same concerns.

[merry torrent]

not a huge fan of mid league changes unless it is truely broken. If things are too strong I think it's better to change it between seasons.

[near crest]

So I've been wanting to speedrun a game like this for a long time even though I'm not good at it (it's only for fun and for myself). LE doesn't seem too active when it comes to information about it. I was just wondering if there is a good place where I could find resources and things like that to learn and improve if I was to decide to speedrun it?

[merry torrent]

I'm not sure if anyone actively speedruns this game at the moment, activity seems really light recently on https://www.speedrun.com/last_epoch . Might be your turn to forge a new path? Might want to give Seolfer a message though? I think he's on this server as well

[near crest]

@merry torrent okay, thank you!

[faint cape]

That ring change specifically was because something was broken (as in, it literally didn't do anything)

So it was a bug fix, and then they wanted to be careful it wouldn't be massively OP now that it worked... and it wasn't, lol

[rancid thunder]

will everything reset in the new patch, just wondering if should play rn or wait for the patch.

[fluid saddle]

its a new season and on fresh seasonal it will be a wipe for that but like if u made a character now you could still play it after the update if u wanted on (not sure what LE calls it) but legacy or standard server

imo personally id just wait for the patch

dont potentially burn urself out before it drops

[storm wren]

It's a nerf, right? Uncapped wards -> Limited wards

But it's buffed when fighting with a boss

[faint cape]

It's a nerf if you're hitting more than 15 times per second, but most builds don't do that

[desert tree]

It's 4 ward per point, with 3 pts

So it's 12 ward

For the 1st node

[storm wren]

ohhhh 180/12=15, I see

[storm wren]

hhhhhh very cool. That was the reason inspired me to play forge guard before, good, marksman can throwing something too

I'll want to try fire version of heartseeker

[mossy shadow]

OI! NO FULL AUTO in the Building!

[last kayak]

Yeah, heartseeker looks amazing from a bunch of build perspectives.

[mossy shadow]

poison-cold-fire conversion

have skill synergy with puncture and black arrow

what else? lol

[dreamy blade]

Can i make stash priority filters for both Unique items and unique items with LP? If i did both, it did not sort items based on LP..

and can i move stash tabs from one category to another

[grim agate]

Set your unique tab with 0lp to max 0lp and have it left of the other tabs etc, prio goes left to right in stash order

[dreamy blade]

thanks!

but what happens when new season comes, can we transfer the stash layout to new season_

[wicked plover]

you cant currently

[random isle]

I wonder why we did not participate in the spring sale, hmmm.

[wicked plover]

because that would have been a terrible financial decision for the company
its the only time they can propely cash out on sales, why would they reduce their income for no reason when they already spend resources on marketing

[storm wren]

😅 ... Alright wraithlord still more powerful than I think. But I suppose the honour belong to the weapon this build using. Will Usurper's Mandate update in 1.2? Need to take a note.

[desert tree]

@storm wren For the diminishing return part

It's still better to farm at higher corruption

It just means, farming at 600c is not 2x better than at 300c

[storm wren]

@lament rock oh then #3 is solved. Electrify not my deal. Maybe what I should looking for is shock chance. For #2... Emmmmm I don't eye is easy to get because

1. Harbingers isn't easy to kill (Focus on the combat 2-4mins is a long progress)
2. You don't 100% get a eye once you killed a harbinger

[desert tree]

Just 1.5x

For exemple

And there is another breakpoint

[wispy lagoon]

when starting S2 guys

[toxic echo]

april 2nd. #news

[desert tree]

And thx Kirra for moving the post you were typing ❤️❤️

[devout spire]

Item with 3x prefix

[icy drift]

Ah the champion affix is always sealed, as in it drops sealed

So it's 2 prefixes and 1 sealed prefix

[wheat storm]

Do the harbingers have a specific recommended order?
I remembered i give up my last character because i left the lagon boss last and with the high corruption and harbinger i was destroyed (the fight was kinda scuffed)
any suggestions of what bosses is best to focus first?

[desert tree]

Lagon first, then Gaspar, then Spririt of Fire (because I am melee)

That's my go to order

[wheat storm]

Thanks, im melee too, spining and not winning 🤡

[desert tree]

If you need help #🔱┃sentinel

[narrow spear]

is this currently capped by "only 1 shield flying at the same time"?

[desert tree]

Don't think so

[narrow spear]

so it wont profit from the new node. kk thx 😄

[dusky kite]

harton and shamans are a lot worse than lagon and gaspar for most builds

gaspars harb is real easy cause gaspars skills force her into a ton of downtime, she literally does nothing 70% of the fight

lagon can be annoying but it also has more downtime and you can put her into a corner where she doesnt move much

[desert tree]

I struggle a bit the triple beam, I like to get rid of it quickly

And dodge all of the Lagon's Harbi attack on that small arena is annoying

[restive epoch]

Foolish traveler! Watch me as I dash into the non-player moveable area while still blasting you with my ranged skills!

[toxic echo]

that is really annoying

[sonic saddle]

these days i have waaaaaay too much practice on the tribeams

guys whats a simple and fast build to lvl and gear up to complete all end game? i wanna do it b4 the new season but i dont have much time!

[wide sentinel]

@cunning canyon on your answer both normal abby and 500 cor mean nothing in current power scale, and devs said that we will have a powercreep abroad the game. so unless they make uber giga hard itll be a same joke as current abberoth

like we have decent optimized builds kill it under 30 seconds and top builds kill it in 5-10 seconds or oneshot

[shut walrus]

hey guys im nearly maxed on resistance and im still taking a lot of damage and dying at 200 corruption monos

what should i do to take less damage?

[wide sentinel]

get more armor, ward and hp and get crit avoidance/reduction

[shut walrus]

im in offline mode so whats my best at doing that?

[surreal verge]

Proper equipment crafting and idols

[stray trench]

How exactly can i find and farm this boss? I dont really understand whats written here and really need a Siphon of anguish

[wheat storm]

Find the Echo node that increases corruption, he is the boss

[surreal verge]

If you're at monoliths, pick a direction and keep doing nodes, you'll eventually find a node that allows you to fight the shade.

[stray trench]

i dont think i have corruption unlocked yet, im i a lvl 85 monolith

[wide sentinel]

@languid yoke man you are coping, more people are hyped for le than for poe even in poe community

who cares and that question was asked like 1010101010 times already

[surreal verge]

Normal monliths technically have corruption. It just starts at 0 and the cap is 50.

[desert tree]

Also please stop using the wiki

[stray trench]

what?

why

[desert tree]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/
https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/

[desert tree]

Old, outdated

[stray trench]

Oh okay ty

[hexed wasp]

IMO don’t worry about the shade until empowered (lvl 100 zones) you’ll unlock that after killing all bosses in the 3 level 90 timelines. But if your really want to do the shade pick a direction and just keep going that one way you’ll hit the edge of the timeline web where the shade is at.

[hollow dune]

Anyone wanna help out a new player? 😅

[toxic echo]

if you have questions, just ask. if you are looking for boosting #👥┃lfg

[hexed wasp]

If you want help I’m always game to do it when online. Of which I’m about to be. I play on legacy so we can connect in game if you have a legacy dude if you want. Or we can use discord voice or text. And lastly if neither one of those work and as reluctant as I am to mention it on this discord. I can use twitch to talk to you/show you. Please don’t take this as a greasy attempt to plug a twitch channel, I just want to offer options to help ya.

[hollow dune]

Sounds good!

[hexed wasp]

My EHG ingame name should be legionone if you want add me and if I’m on feel free to ask me anything you want. I will either know the answer and give you it or attempt to get the answer and give it to you it providing I am able to and have the time.

[crystal jackal]

You have pretty low health for 200 corruption

[shut walrus]

what should i aim for health wise?

[surreal verge]

Unless you have ward, I'm shocked you even survived 100 corruption.

[shut walrus]

it was hard tbh but im new to the game

[wheat storm]

i just killed lagon first like you suggested, that was the worst fight ever sucked the fun out of me 🤡
thanks for the tip!

[last kayak]

@storm wren for favor changes when a season ends, I think one of the devs mentioned recently that it's:
-Characters move to Legacy
-Legacy favor level is taken from the highest from each faction

So if you have a season character with 5k favor and a legacy character with 50k favor, your legacy favor level will be unchanged. That 5k favor would be lost so it's valuable to spend all your favor before the season ends.

[shut walrus]

im only generating 2k ward too

is there any way i can defensively improve my character?

[hexed wasp]

So as a player what do you think as creaking threshold kill % as a suffix. too broken or possibly a good idea?

[last kayak]

Cull effects should be used pretty sparingly, if they're too common then everyone's just going to be using one and then you may as well just give things 10-15% less health or whatever.

[crystal jackal]

As much as possible.
Resistance doesn’t work the same way in LE as in PoE or D2.

Having 70% res only increases your dmg taken by 5%.
50% res = 25%

So you can sacrifice some res for HP.

[hexed wasp]

fair enough i get that. that being said youd have to get to the threshold for the suffix to be useful

[surreal verge]

A reminder that kill threshold works on bosses as well.

[last kayak]

Yeah, but the harder the content, the bigger value it gives you.

[surreal verge]

There's still that old as tech where you always carry a Last Laugh to skip the last 15% of a boss.

[last kayak]

Yeah, just hotswap to it and hit once?

[surreal verge]

Yup.

[hexed wasp]

IMO if in empowered without niech builds and crazy def ones. 2,000hp start 100c and min 4000 ward if low life. if hybrid hp/ward 1500 hp 2000ward. rhis is just my general baseline opinion

[shut walrus]

so you recommend i cap my resistances at 50?

[crystal jackal]

@shut walrus
Can someone please link the tunklab EHP calc to him? I’m on the phone and don’t remember the link without my bookmarks.

[hexed wasp]

res cap at 75%

[crystal jackal]

No, I’m saying good health rolls are more important than* capping all 7 resistances.

especially hybrid health rolls. Always prioritize those where ever you can get them

[last kayak]

The good example is: In POE if you have 70% of a resist, you take (effectively) 25% more damage, so missing any resists is a huge deal. in LE missing 3-5% resists isn't as big of a deal

[hexed wasp]

@shut walrus https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/legionone/character/legionsixteen if you replace my LE IGN with your then select the dude your playing you can import that into a build planner then go to the def tab and you can see your current EHP id link yours but i dont know your IGN

[shut walrus]

im in offline mode is that ok

[hexed wasp]

unsure u can do it i believe i just dont know how

[storm wren]

you mean
For cycle characters - Favour go back to zero, rank go back to one after became legacy
For legacy characters - Favour go back to zero, rank keep the same
?

[last kayak]

I believe it takes the higher of whichever there is. So if your Cycle character has higher rank and more favor, then it keeps that when moved to legacy and that because your new "state" of characters in that faction. But if you already have a character in legacy with more favor/rank in legacy, that stays.

[storm wren]

🤔 My case is no cycle, just legacy, rank is 12 (online one can be ignored)

[last kayak]

Then nothing will change

[storm wren]

😂 😂 😂 ...

I mean... favour issue

Last time my favour go back to 1 or 0 (I forgot) because of the cycle reset

[last kayak]

hmmm IDK

[topaz shoal]

Generally you want resistances to match/exceed area level and eventually cap (Blessings/Idols can help a lot). Another major defensive layer is having Critical Avoidance or Reduction capped. Cleanse on your belt or skill trees is pretty noticeable defensive QoL too. From there you want to keep adding layers as able - can vary quite a bit depending upon class. Armor/Dodge/Leech/Block/Ward/Etc Etc examples of these layers. As far as HP goes, %Inc Health on Helm/Body/Belt and Hybrid Health (a little more rare) on Belt/Boot/Glove tend to be the most impactful

[crystal fractal]

is there any good speedrunners on last epoch that i can find on youtube?

[topaz shoal]

Doesn't have content aimed at it, but it can be beneficial to study his full runs: https://www.youtube.com/@seolfer

[shut walrus]

whats a good way to get health if you're doing COF in offline mode?

[opal nest]

get T5 Added & Increased Health affix on Body & Helmet
if u still feel not enough, get Hybrid Health on Boots/Belt/Gloves
Stout Idol has Increased Health affix to

should be hit 2,5-3k HP with T5 affix

[storm wren]

your highest rank/rep for each faction is applied to legacy (merging can't make you lose ranks if you have higher progress in legacy than the last season)

Can you give an example? (I'm not sure what do you mean in the sentence with{})
Favour loss is because of merge, that's why legacy characters will keep current favour?

[faint cape]

If you only play legacy, then none of that matters, nothing will happen to your factions

[shut walrus]

im new to the game so i dont know anything about crafting

[surreal verge]

How in gods did you get to 200c without understanding crafting?

[median zenith]

Faction rep/rank/favor is stored as a part of your stash, not your character. Characters merely "join" a faction and then get the full benefits of the faction saved for the stash they have access to.

When a season rolls over, that stash still exists, but no character is a part of that stash anymore. All season characters get moved to legacy and will be getting the benefits of the Legacy stash's factions.

When you go to the stash in Legacy and you've played previous seasons that have rolled over, there will be a dropdown at the top of the stash to select old seasons.

You can pick one of these, (e.g. Season 1) and then click the merge stash button to merge the stash data from Season 1 to Legacy. With regards to factions, this will update your Legacy factions to have the highest rank/rep between what is saved in Legacy or the Season 1 stash. After that, all of your Legacy characters (e.g. created in Legacy or previously Season 1 characters that were moved to Legacy on Season 2 start) will now benefit from that updated faction.

[storm wren]

yeah want to learn the whole frame for how favour work in game by asking devs when they're online

oh then make sense... hhhh No concept for different season stash in le because single cycle we played only

[undone otter]

I would probably slow down on pinging every dev you see pop in here with the same questions over and over - lest you anger the mods lol ❤️

[hexed wasp]

For the skill lethal mirage the additional hits do not count as a hit from a shadow and therefore do not scale with shadow damage correct?

[faint cape]

Correct

[median zenith]

This is what we're referring to when we say things like "characters that have access to the same stash" instead of "account-wide."

Nothing is truly account-wide in LE, but many things are stash-wide.

Legacy and Season each have their own stash, Hardcore has a stash, SCF (Solo Character Found) has a stash per character, etc.

Once a season ends or a character leaves a challenge, the stash they used to have access to can be merged into the stash they now access (usually Legacy) to let you move all of that "intangible progress" of stored materials, gold, faction data, etc. and then the tabs from that stash become remove only and you can take your items out manually.

[storm wren]

No experience on this case so it's a bit hard to understand something like 1.1 stash/1.0 stash when someone have different progress in the special faction in different cycles

[faint cape]

Includes the shadow consuming node, still no shadow damage

[storm wren]

Never want to play cycle characters deeply once I knew I need to deliver all items in my stash. But it's fine that EHG don't think it's a issue. I just want to say this thing let me know I prefer playing legacy.

[median zenith]

Ya, the stash thing is kinda hard to explain cause it's somewhat behind the scenes and also uses the same term as the place where you have 1-200 tabs of items so things easily get conflated.

The tl;dr for stashes/season rollovers is:

• Spend favor in season, that will not carry over when merging
• Everything else you earned in season you can either get in Legacy via stash merge or by manually removing the item from your tab
• Tabs are never merged; they just become remove only

[faint cape]

I do wish "number of stash tabs" merged like faction rank

[storm wren]

so... Let me give my conclusion:

Faction rank and favour tie with my stash, not my accounts.
When the next cycle come, the game will select the highest rank to keep if your progress isn't the same in multiple cycles.
You must deliver your items from current cycle manually after your stash is merged, and the stash from old cycle will become remove only.
How will favours from 1.1 going not be decided yet.

Are they right?

[faint cape]

People doing their first cycle and then wanting to continue on legacy are in for a rough time, starting over with 0 permanent stash tabs and like 20 remove only tabs lol

[storm wren]

let's hope we can merge everything one day...

[faint cape]

No clue how they'd auto merge, personally I wouldn't expect that to ever happen

[storm wren]

Remove items from old stash and place them into new stashes + rebuild a new list of stash tabs is what I hate the most

[faint cape]

but maybe they can make it easier to merge by letting us open remove-only tabs on the right side of the screen (in place of our inventory) someday

[storm wren]

Just don't know why EHG think remove-only stash will make any sense 😅

[faint cape]

It's a proven design in other games, it works

[storm wren]

What I need:

1. Items from the cycle
2. Stash tabs I purchased
3. Favour I farmed

[shut walrus]

could i share screen call to anyone who can help me craft gear so i can do empowered monos

[storm wren]

I'll say EHG still have huge potential on improving experience when cycle characters become legacy characters

[outer mango]

i just wish stash tab names, colors and place stays through seasons

like in poe

oh i forgot you have only 1 at start

derp

[median zenith]

Mostly, but slight clarifications:

When the next cycle come, the game will select the highest rank to keep if your progress isn't the same in multiple cycles.
This only happens when you go to the stash in legacy and click the merge button, not automatically on login.

How will favours from 1.1 going not be decided yet.
Favor is not merged. Spend it in season while you have it!

[storm wren]

I worried about favour mainly... get 80K+ favour isn't a easy thing

[storm wren]

oh I see. So cycle players will always select to start from zero, they don't mind their items and their stashes be gone.
Ok. I'm a legacy player but I want to confirm will favour in legacy stash be reset in new cycle.

[undone otter]

no, legacy is never reset

[storm wren]

@brazen garnet Dev said your favour will be lost if you're playing cycle

[median zenith]

Ya, that would be really nice to have, but a key difference w/ LE is that stash tabs are not an MTX you purchase, they are a game progression system. Since season and legacy are separate progression, their tabs also need to be separate. It's very important that players can pick if they want to play Season or Legacy and neither should be more optimal than the other.

If we just moved all tabs from season to legacy, each rollover, then the most optimal way to play legacy would be to play season so you can bypass the max tab limit. Making the tabs remove only ensures you still have access to your old items without making legacy have more max tabs than season.

We have some ideas for ways to improve the stash tabs part of season rollover, but nothing for Season 2 on this front.

[outer mango]

yeah kinda figured that immediately after my message

[storm wren]

oh... max tab limit, alright

Imagained someone who own 200 tabs in cycle and merge all of them into legacy...xd ok they own 400 tabs if their golds are enough

[robust onyx]

two conditions, only one of them works, or both at once? if I use void warpath, will the size of vampirism be 1% or 2%(void+melee)?

[vale thistle]

2%, you have both stats and they both apply

[robust onyx]

nice)))

I really hope that void warpath doesn't nerfed

[dusky kite]

and a load of gold that they can immediately use to buy new stash tabs, doesn't look like a major issue to me

[lean locust]

For a 3LP Kestrel and 3LP Firestarter - what would be the ideal stats to smash them with for twink levelling that can be used for more than one class (besides Rogue / Mage)

[faint cape]

Casual players, the ones who this will actually affect, probably don't have loads of gold laying around.

[dusky kite]

the first 50-100 tabs barely cost anything after the reduction

[indigo valley]

Hello! help me please with a best source of guides\builds\Tierlists updated. I don't play from release. 1.1

[faint cape]

Eh?

[faint cape]

Probably MaxRoll or LE Tools build guides section, sentinel is getting big changes though so not sure how well those will translate

[dusky kite]

4m gold is a lot?

[lean locust]

To some 🙂

[median zenith]

I like slamming any form of fire/elemental damage/dot damage on Firestarter, since that spreading flames kinda carries the campaign by itself - for Kestral I like defensive things like health

[faint cape]

You don't exactly find 4M gold laying around very easily

100 tabs is 20M

remember that the vast majority of players don't even reach empowered monoliths

[lean locust]

Awesome - that is good!

I wanna make a new toon and had a nice 3LPs both drop that are not faction locked

Thank you!

[faint cape]

I like getting 100%+ ignite chance on firestarter, the consistency feels so nice early game

[median zenith]

oh ya, ailments are really strong early game since they deal flat damage per stack

[lean locust]

No the question! What to level! 🙂

I have a FC Sorc that I am pushing 700 corruption and a Bladedancer that was fun - but kinda got stuck at 300 corruption

[merry torrent]

300 is kind of where devs expect you to stop if i remember correctly, going higher just means you have a really good build

[lean locust]

Good to know xD

I got reaaaaaally lucky on some unique slams that were able to take me from the 300 slog into roflstompling 500

[merry torrent]

very nice

[round portal]

hey guys, does Flame Wraith benefit from necrotic damage from the two nodes Reapers and Necrotic Hunger? I'm very confused because the guide fully invests in these two nodes even though Flame Wraith doesn't have the necrotic tag.

[rugged sinew]

if you have a fire spell and get flat +spell cold damage then your fire spell will also do a bit of cold damage
even though it doesn't have the cold tag

in the same way flame wraiths get the +necrotic damage even though they don't have the fire tag

[dire bronze]

If i wanted to use eternal eclipse to juice the damage on a void cleave with over 500 flat would i use warpath as my main skill because it counts as one attack i can war path until the buff is up then cleave then go back to warpathing right?

[lean locust]

On the weapon - is the damage the same as Fire or Elemental? I have a scepter ready to slam that has an open prefix and not sure what is better

[dusky kite]

this works but void cleave doesn't have enough multipliers to make it seriously worth it even with the extra 400 flat

[dire bronze]

really there is 200 multi and something like 1000% added total with the mods on tree

[median zenith]

any tag that matches will apply the bonus to spreading flames: it's a fire DoT so increased fire, elemental, and damage over time (or combos of those) would all apply

since it's an ailment, i don't think it would be buffed by flat fire damage tho, pretty sure that only applies to skills themselves

[lean locust]

whelp wish me luck on the slam!

Had open prefix/suffix and crafted fire dam % and fire penetration

[median zenith]

oooh nice slam target, u got dis!

[lean locust]

oof - just learned on my kestrel that class restrictions transfer to the kestrel lol

lol

💀

[median zenith]

oh no rogue affix! at least kestral is pretty common

[lean locust]

Yeah haha

[dusky kite]

yeah but you do this once every 2 seconds at most, compare this for instance to erasing strike that can achieve much higher multipliers and is used multiple times per second

[shut walrus]

how do i gain ranks in the merchant guild?

[lean locust]

Killing mobs

Buying and ~~selling ~~ posting items on the market - they dont need to sell for you to get credit

[dire bronze]

yeah but it has no fire tag so it gets half the flat and less crit multi, mana problems, and does not have much single hit multi as well i think you would struggle to get it over 1.2k added damage

yeah it only has 80% more damage on tree to damage enemies and has 150% less crit multi with a mana cost much higher

[dusky kite]

I don't mean using it with Eclipse but in general, Eclipse unfortunately isn't that great because even when utilizing both of its halves with VC the ceiling is fairly low

[dusky kite]

100% more * 50% more * 400% more from guaranteed echoes * 50% more * another 10% more which you realistically have points for

also has 550% base effectiveness vs 400% for VC

[dire bronze]

yeah but thats over 400 in mana cost and volitial reversal is getting reworked

also VC is a generatic skill so i can go forge guard and get the shield for 70 multi and multi per str

[dusky kite]

it doesnt sustain mana via VR but via the passive that converts 3 essences into 30% max mana. You are however right that it's in danger of getting nerfed

[lean locust]

missed the slam for fire damaage - but got purple so that is a win

my ring though ❤️

[faint cape]

Very solid leveling gear 🔥

[shy turret]

you know how you can use confluence which has diff element +spell damages but it still 'works' for everything, does the same apply for +melee damage elements on a weapon?

[last kayak]

You mean like +flat lightning damage applying to fire attacks?

[shy turret]

yeah

[last kayak]

Yeah, that works. You just have to remember that the flat damage won't scale with non applicable affixes. So like +flat lightning damage won't scale with increased fire damage (but will with increased melee damage or elemental damage)

[shy turret]

yeah, got it. thanks

[pure plover]

question, what happens to conversions of conversions? For instance, I use Maehlin's Hubris and lightning smite, is bleed chance converted into ignite or into electrify for smite?

[last kayak]

Generally conversions only do what they say they do. If the node says it does a conversion it will, otherwise nope

[pure plover]

yes, but if I convert bleed into ignite and ignite into electrify

do I convert bleed into electrify

[last kayak]

Yeah, it should work fine

There isn't a "conversion order" like there is with POE

[pure plover]

ok

[lean locust]

Any suggestions on a class that is not Mage / Rogue or Minion

[narrow spear]

when fighting an elite with proximity bubble with ranged minions, does my position, or the position of the attacking minions count for the damage reduction?
(so, do I have to be in the bubble, or my minions?)

[last kayak]

Your minions, I believe

[faint cape]

There are no conversions of conversions. Once something is converted, it's stuck that way.

[faint cape]

It's based on the actor dealing the damage, so your minions need to be inside the bubble for them to deal full damage

[narrow spear]

thanks to you both 🙏

[faint cape]

Depends on what you plan to do in S2. If you want a fully leveled char to play S2 with in legacy, imo go sentinel so you can play with all the cool new tech when the update drops. Otherwise, I'll pick one at total random: warlock

[lean locust]

Hmm I am looking at Ignite Shield Rush - any thoughts?

[faint cape]

Sounds fun, a lil janky (especially in online play), but it's a neat skill

[lean locust]

define janky haha

One of the things I would like to do - is push high corruption and/or kill abberoth reliably - but not play flaconer or storm totem

[faint cape]

You can get kinda de-synced causing some odd jerky movement

[lean locust]

Hmmm - well thats not terrible - but I can see how it would be annoying

What other builds would you recommend?

[undone otter]

FWIW I've pushed and killed him many times on a whole host of minion builds 🙂

[lean locust]

TBF - I am basing minion builds off of POE - soooo there is that.

But my only issue with minion builds is that i enjoy smashing buttons, and tend to shy away from 1-2 button builds. And in most games minion builds were very passive from my side.

[undone otter]

I also play exclusively minion build in PoE1/2 haha

its a meme with my friends how much I play miniom builds

but ya makes sense - just pointing out that killing Abby isn't that limited

[lean locust]

Haha love it

As for killing abby - I am able to do it on my FC Sorc - but I like to min max - and if I am playing a build that hits a huge wall (be it boss or higher tiers) I want to avoid them h

[merry torrent]

Active skill usage is a bit hard to do with minions in ARPG's, there is a fine line between feeling like a commander of minions, and just being a spell caster with moving DOT's that have hp bars

[lean locust]

Yeah - I totally get it, and if it was too easy to control the horde you would likely run into balance issues

[merry torrent]

would love some order commands that set different tactics, but not sure if it would be smooth gameplay in a fast ARPG like this

[undone otter]

ya I would love something similar to PoE's concept of "agressive" etc

[merry torrent]

think minions need to fan out a little more, they seem to target the closest enemy all at once which feels a bit off, less like a hoard and more acting as a single unit

yeah aggressive and defensive would be nice

[undone otter]

I mean - hordes of insects function as a single unity haha

just depends on what horde you're talking about 😉
