[vocal plank]

I still can't craft higher than 5 right?

[surreal verge]

Nope.

There's a new rune that lets you shuffle the tiers around though.

[vocal plank]

Yea I saw that one. I can see use cases so that's nice.
Can you explain what you mean by they're not exalted anymore though? Or do you mean that if it has a set shard it isn't exalted anymore so that's why it can't be slammed

[surreal verge]

If you craft a set shard onto an item, it becomes a new rarity called "Reforged set".

[vocal plank]

Makes sense

That would be a bit to busted if it could be on a legendary but a man can hope

[frozen reef]

hi i am a returning player i use to play Wraithlord Necromancer build i hade a lot of fun with it. Is the Wraithlord Necromancer build any good now?

[vocal plank]

It isn't as good as it used to be but it's still pretty good. Needs more investment other than 0 to get it going.

[surreal verge]

Same as it was from 1.1.

[frozen reef]

Sounds good to me

[lavish dew]

Its still very strong seen it go over 2/3k corrupt

[blissful osprey]

is it supposed to drop already?

[outer saddle]

weaver's will you mean? It's a core stuff

[foggy hearth]

I guess I should have asked here: #📚┃off-topic message
Looking for a list of all new affixes

[blissful osprey]

than I'm completely confused, I thought it related to new faction

[surreal verge]

This was released during 1.1.

[foggy hearth]

Weavers Will existed since the start. All the other Weaver things are new

[surreal verge]

No, the items are not tied to the new faction.

[tight olive]

You can't be COF and join the Woven Faction at the sametime right?

[fluid saddle]

the real meta is going to be playing a non maxroll build so my items will be cheaper on trade the downside being i want to play heartseeker so a ton of people playing it anyways

[fluid saddle]

everyone is a part of woven its not a choice thing

cof / market are ur only choice

[foggy hearth]

only CoF and MG are a choice

[tight olive]

Oh that is amazing. Glad you don't have to choose it over the others

The "Faction" in the name made it seem like you had to choose

[fluid saddle]

its because its more of a content type than it is a "preference over your gameplay" I guess is how to word it

[sterile wasp]

How Frost claw lookign with the nerfs?

[tribal meadow]

It's the type of choice you don't get in other ARPGs, they're kinda player exclusive (as in player who plays CoF does it because they dislike trade)

CoF in PoE2 would catapult it into stratosphere (if it wasn't implemented half-way like the other LE features )

[tight olive]

S2 of LE already looking promising. I did not get much into the game because of the end game, but S2 seems to be brining enough content with what was previously there and they care about SSF. On top of all new content working in Legacy, this is already much better than what POE is presenting

[tribal meadow]

Ngl, CoF was one of the major decisions points for me to buy LE - I want to see those juicy drops on the ground, swiping my credit card just doesn't feel right

[tight olive]

Yeah the fact that they're pushing CoF and improving it makes me so glad for the future of the game. I just hope they don't change their decision on new content being available in Legacy

[tribal meadow]

They can't retire mechanics until the game starts to feature bloat so we're safe for quite some time

[dense jay]

@storm wren not sure if u have seen this but is this something you wanna use?

[tribal meadow]

I followed EHG for over a year and they're super reasonable, whatever they remove is probably replaced by a better version of the mechanic

They're not gonna remove fun just because

[tight olive]

I'm talking about Exclusive content for seasons that are not available in Legacy. This is not the case in LE but it is for POE. I'm hoping EHG keeps it that way

[grand shoal]

CoF was improved? 🤔 Can't aee that sadly

[tribal meadow]

The one combo lens

[grand shoal]

Seasonal content is planed for the future

[tribal meadow]

Big improvement

[tight olive]

It was buffed. Haven't seen the patch notes but i've seen the dev say it on their reveal videos

[grand shoal]

Where is the buff, I can mainly see the big nerf?

[surreal verge]

They say they currently aren't doing it because they aren't satisfied with the base game basically, it may change in the far future

[tribal meadow]

And a little nerf to balance it out

I wouldn't say it's buffed, more like balanced

Kinda good decision to make the multiplier lenses more expensive, now it doesn't feel like mandatory pick

[tight olive]

The only reason i'm not playing POE is that i don't have enough time to grind especially with it being economy focused. LE lets me play at my own pace with CoF and more than 3 months

[lilac coral]

So I've got what may be a dumb question - what does "uncapped" mean in terms of resistances?

[tight olive]

Mhmm I saw a clip the dev on their live mention that they are aiming to bring CoF power level closer to Merchant as much as possible and they're changing what feels Mandatory in CoF to make it available at all times

[tribal meadow]

Does this help?
https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/resistances

[grand shoal]

And they did the opposite on the first glance

[lilac coral]

Will have a read, thanks

[tribal meadow]

@tight olive @grand shoal the whole Weaver tree is gonna bounce of juiced CoF

[lilac coral]

So say I have 80% fire res, and it caps at 75%. Does that mean I have 5% uncapped fire res?

[tribal meadow]

They're probably waiting for some data to see how much juice it adds when it starts procing

[tribal meadow]

You will have 80% uncapped resist and 5% overcapped resist

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

[grand shoal]

Don't get me wrong, I'm both, EHG and CoF fan.
But that is a nerf, we have to spend more favor and time for the same amount of Prophecies.

[tribal meadow]

Uncapped Resistance: Uncapped resistance is the total amount of resistance you have against a specific damage type, ignoring the cap of 75%. Uncapped resistance can be useful in mitigating the effect of ailments that reduce your resistance, such as Shock, Resistance Shreds or Marked for Death, but does not help against Penetration past the cap of 75%.

Overcapped Resistance: Any resistance above the cap of 75% is considered overcapped resistance. Overcapped resistance is helpful in mitigating debuffs that lower you resistance, but does not mitigate penetrations.```

[lilac coral]

Ahh got it, thank you.

[tribal meadow]

I recommended reading it few times, it makes me confused, I might be wrong

[lilac coral]

I'm good now thanks. I'm a native English speaker, and the terminology is... not as obvious as it could be 🙂

For a while I was reading uncapped as meaning "how much less than cap I have"

[unborn cipher]

In the lastepochtools planner: Is there a way to lock a tooltip so I mouse over the sub tooltips? nevermind found it. It's Z

[tribal meadow]

I guess the gist is to have as much resist as you can, but don't sweat anything above 75%

[lilac coral]

I'm going to play a Torment Warlock and it benefits from massive uncapped necro resist, which... confused me

[tribal meadow]

Resists are thankfully easy to come by

I often end up with 2+ resists in the 3 digits without trying

[sullen verge]

may i ask is the meta in this new season still going to be exalts and what not

like has any of that changed

[dreamy wedge]

Hi guys, has it ever happened to any of you not seeing any character created in new cycle and not even in legacy even though I was playing yesterday night ?

[surreal verge]

Double check if you're playing offline or online.

[sullen verge]

get good exalts with ur the right affixes and build them up then slam them onto uniques with potential

[surreal verge]

(Then relog)

[dreamy wedge]

@surreal verge I did, switch from online to offline and nothing shows, like I haven't played or deleted it

[tribal meadow]

Yes

[sullen verge]

any changes in that regard at all?

[gaunt igloo]

so withfirce only has the scaling tag damge over time. if i were to increase by fire damage the base of it wont be affected right?

[surreal verge]

It does fire and necrotic damage, so those get applied as well.

[tribal meadow]

A mid step might be juiced up champion + set exaltie, it kinda sits between exalties and LP slams

[gaunt igloo]

hm okay i just thoguht if it didnt have the scaling tag it wasn't affected good know!

[sullen verge]

what is uber abber

[fathom nacelle]

Abberoth, the pinnacle boss, but like, Uber.

Which means they’re German or something

Über äbby

[surreal verge]

Abberoth but supercharged and wants you deleted.

[formal dew]

thinking about starting ignite warpath paladin this season, never played an ailemts build before.
do i benefit from going fire pen? Meele fire dmg?increased fire dmg?

[surreal verge]

DoT is not melee and thus won't boost ignite. The other things you listed work, as ignite does fire damage.

[formal dew]

And penetration increases the dmg of the ignites too? or does that jsut help applying it faster

[surreal verge]

Yes, increases damage. To increase application speed, get more ignite chance.

[fathom nacelle]

What is AoD?

[dusky kite]

legendaries, exalts and (reforged) set items are the three major item types relevant at endgame, it isn't changing other than the set part

[surreal verge]

Aura of Decay, Lich's 5 point skill.

[fathom nacelle]

Ah

Never played lich but I endorse the hate

[surreal verge]

It's the kind of skill that will improve your build if you DON'T use it.

[crude jewel]

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/squirrel-beastmaster-guide can someone explain to me; warcry why is there a point in "slow breath" that makes it that you dont freeze anymore and a point in "frigied breath" "enemy frozen by warcry takes more dmg" this doesnt make sense at all, what do i miss here?

[broken star]

Hey fellas. Is there a set of optimal graphic settings i can set to have less stress on the cpu for this game?

[surreal verge]

No Guaranteed, meaning you have to build for it, is what I assume it means.

[crude jewel]

-.-

[surreal verge]

Still doesn't seem smart.

[crude jewel]

yea or?! and thats the reason why i 1. dont like builds from other people and 2. maxroll in general

i just stay at homebrewing... i thought i will compare and look to mine previous wolf/squirrel builds but man some points/desicions doesnt make sense, also i dont see much STR points in the passives, and only "a few" on thos endgame items, so from what do the minions then get the base dmg? less base dmg = +1000% more melee dmg from then brings nothin lol

[surreal verge]

Maxroll builds are hit or miss tbf.

[crude jewel]

today i learned about CT (Community testers), didnt know theres a term for that, and thats why i compared the build...

[dusky kite]

yea that build is almost chat gpt generated

I fail to see any reason to spec those two cold nodes

[crude jewel]

warcry effects your minions? and they also get invulnerable for 1 sec and the berserk buff from the nodes?

i ask becaseu one node says "you and your allies affected warcry" but another specificly needs point to get raptor and bear to be affected by warcry

that confuse me

[dusky kite]

you need to spec a specific node for berserk and its only for bear and uh wolves I think?

[crude jewel]

yea there is no node for wolfs lol

[dusky kite]

its raptor then

also there are several buff nodes in warcry tree, those specifically affect you/your minions in the aoe

base warcry doesn't have anything that would

[crude jewel]

yea but non of them if you dont go on cold gives them more dps

[desert tree]

Bleed no?

Bleed for Wolves and Poison Scorpion I believe

[crude jewel]

oh yea bleed but if you dont go on bleed ether sry mb

i was just looking why that guide wanted warcry and most of that build goes on minion crit

and this time i wanted to try a non bleed build so i forgot about that node... so for my idea warcry gives me rly less value mhm

also i am not sure if a non bleed wolf/squirrel build is at all valuable

if you also dont go cold

[wet geode]

Hey guys, relatively new to the game, only played campaign and a couple monos last year.
Do you guys know of any good YT video explanation of old+new mechanics in depth to understand a bit how to navigate the game?
Thanks in advance 🙂

[cinder heath]

there is crit for minions in warcry.. the maxroll build just doesn't take it

[crude jewel]

that crit is for bear and raptor only

and only if you take that node ^^

[cinder heath]

battle cry and bringer of winter do not say bear and raptor only?

[crude jewel]

it says "affecty by warcry" so if you have not that node and/or use another minion, they are not affecty from warcry therefor dont get anything at all

the wording as always is a bit weird ^^

[cinder heath]

are you talking about berserk?

[crude jewel]

?

[cinder heath]

this is not warcry's base effects

[crude jewel]

yes without that node raptor/bear dont get anything

[cinder heath]

yes

that's not warcry, that's the berserk buff

[crude jewel]

and wolfs in general dont get anything

i am talking about wolfs and that they dont get anything at all besides bleed, but its fine though i got my answers already ty <3

[cinder heath]

????

[crude jewel]

if you interested what i was up to, #❔┃ask-the-community message read from there

[cinder heath]

warcry specifically buffs both crit rate and crit rate for cold minions

the berserk buff is separate

so yes, warcry does buff wolves

but doesn't grant them berserk

[grand shoal]

Very sad that the basic Minion Damage stat is stronger 😦

[dusky kite]

no this is wrong, if you take those nodes warcry will buff all minions in its aoe

it's not "minions affected by other warcry nodes"

[crude jewel]

you sure sure? i mean i dont go cold so my wolfs still dont get anything

[dusky kite]

pretty sure about that, I've been using those for years and they worked consistently throughout the patches, shouldn't be suddenly broken now

[crude jewel]

where does it say warcry affect cold minions? it only says affected by

interesting

[dusky kite]

at least it surely worked fine in 1.1

havent played minion builds at all in 1.1.7

[oak quarry]

Is there a way to get more forging points on gear?

Or once it hits 0 it's done?

[crude jewel]

iirc they didnt change much with season 2 to minion stuff

[dusky kite]

not really, it's supposed to be a hard limit to how much you can craft on each individual piece

there are ways to drop gear with more FP than average like nemesis but once you ran out, you are done

[oak quarry]

Does rarity matter? Like if I got a legendary it can craft more ?

[oak quarry]

That's a bummer I got some good gear if I can only add or subtract one thing

[dusky kite]

legendaries are uniques with extra stuff on them so as uniques they can't have FP, but rarity does matter, exalts have more FP on average than rares, which have more FP on average than blues, etc

[oak quarry]

It always tends to hit 0 before I can get anything good level 35 btw

[fathom nacelle]

Yeah just level up

[dusky kite]

yea you are just low level with shitty low level items, end game exalts have 50-60 FP on average

that's not infinite but it usually allows a fair bit of crafting on each piece

[fathom nacelle]

You can’t even use high level affixes yet, at least not more than 1

[oak quarry]

Holy cow, I think my gear is pretty okay, got two uniques and great rares🙂

Yeah hitting the end of act 5

Should I do the tree like Raxx said? He mentioned once u hit act 5, finish it then go to act 9 immediately

[fathom nacelle]

Is this your first playthrough

[dusky kite]

you don't even have the temporal sanctum keys to do this, at least you shouldn't by any reasonable estimate. It's a mechanic intended for alts

[storm plume]

Hi, I was thinking of buying this game and starting my journey this weekend, but I see that a new season is coming out in just 5 days - does it still make sense to start today, or should I wait until the new season is out? I'm not familiar with how this system works, if it's the same as Diablo where everything gets reset on season change

[dusky kite]

it's largely the same system as diablo or poe - your old characters move to legacy, new season starts with economy reset, etc. Except that so far all new features are available both on season and on legacy, they arent season-exclusive

for more reasonable advice, if you want to be trading, you will likely want to start on the next season's league once it opens with the patch. If you want to play COF (the "ssf" but not really SSF faction), it doesn't matter much to you

just keep in mind that if you start now and then want to play on the seasonal league you'll have to redo the campaign and all the unlocks on your seasonal character too

[crude jewel]

so i tested warcry with the node for raptor and berserk, i dont see that the raptor even get the berserk buff (icon) so how do we know they get the buff?

[oak quarry]

Yes

[oak quarry]

Ahh I see okay ill grind to act 7

[fathom nacelle]

Just play through the full campaign

[storm plume]

And if I complete the campaign now, is there going to be an option to start my next season character with a "skip campaign" option, similarly to Diablo 4? Or would you recommend I do everything fresh from zero on the new season?

[dusky kite]

squint real hard and see if it makes a diff to its damage/attack speed

and I wish I was kidding here

[fathom nacelle]

No campaign skip

[dusky kite]

LE combat transparency is 0 and the devs are rectally against having combat logs

[fathom nacelle]

But leveling an alt you can get all passive and idol slots in about 2 hours and some change

[dusky kite]

there are options to skip parts of the campaign but they are limited and they don't transfer between leagues

so if you "unlock" them on a legacy character you won't have access to those shortcuts on a character you start from scratch in a seasonal league

[storm plume]

Thank you for the answers guys, seems like the sensible option is to wait for the new season and start fresh from there 🙂

[dusky kite]

probably at this point yes

I mean you could start now to learn the game's fundamentals but if doing the campaign twice back to back (POE2 special) ain't your thing, might as well wait

[tribal meadow]

You can traverse quite a lot

[crude jewel]

what you mean qith squint? i am at the training dummy, if i use warcry and constantly hit the dummy, i get to a max of 15 berserk stacks that i on myself see constantly, if the raptor gets all the same from my warcry and is hitting the dummy constantly - what he does - he should get constantly max 15 stack of berserk... do you say i dont see that specific buff on a minion but he still gets the dmg?

[dusky kite]

check the damage your minion does without berserk and then again with berserk

[crude jewel]

so there is no buff indicater, great

[dusky kite]

at 60 flat or was it 75 the difference should be quite obvious

yes that's what I said

most things in this game don't have a visual indicator

doesn't mean that they don't work

doesn't mean that they do work either

gotta test everything

[crude jewel]

i dont see an increas in the base dmg

[fathom nacelle]

Some day we will be able to reliably test dps 🥲

[crude jewel]

but ty

[formal dew]

Would Bleeding hearts Leech work to leech from ignite damage?
it should right?cause its all damage leeched

[dusky kite]

as they say in academia, the scientific paradigm changes not when new discoveries are made but when everybody clinging to the old paradigm dies of old age

[fathom nacelle]

So you’re saying there’s a chance

[dusky kite]

I mean they did backtrack on some fairly significant decisions like mastery respec or shard auto-stash

but if you think the LE devs don't have The Vision (TM)...

[lavish dew]

Yes it does

[outer mango]

They told their vision yesterdays stream

Super happy with that 🙃

Read your message wrong

But yeah vision is there

[crude jewel]

frenzy has a max stack of 1, so if i increase frenzy totem duration and have 2 frenzy totem for a short duration i only get +20% and not +40%, right?

[dusky kite]

yea

[near fractal]

Does shred armor buff poison damage? Trying to decide if I should invest into it

[surreal verge]

Armour only stops hit damage, and poison does not have a single known hit.

[lavish dew]

Mike had talked on stream about certain lenses being mandatory and that was being changed in 1.2 to not be the case. But I see the only change is Lens of Rhyme and Wealth getting a slight cost increase and slight buffs to the other lenses am I missing something?

[dusky kite]

no we all got trolled

blame mike

[lavish dew]

Dang nvm then

[real onyx]

Hello, does burning dagger NOT created by Pillager Gold also get the bonus damage from Pillager Gold?
I see both answers on reddit so I ask here, thanks.

[surreal verge]

It should. Since it’s an affix that just says it with no condition tied to needing to use the unique’s method

[upper mirage]

is the monolyth zone transition video from the podcast yesterday somewhere on this discord? i would love to see that in full screen without twitch compression

[naive pike]

Is there any way to easily know what kinds of items with + skill level modifiers exist that would benefit a specific skill?

[dusky kite]

Search on le tools for level of said skill or any of its scaling categories, otherwise no

[crude jewel]

so on tools, is there a way atm to make a basic item and give that then the set affix/bonus? i dont that i could do that or i am blind ^^

oh wait i am blind its under sealed affix awesome

[naive pike]

Not just sealed affix.

Can be a normal prefix or suffix too.

[tranquil vapor]

how do i increase corruption ?

[naive pike]

You keep exploring the timeline until you find a node that has the Shade of Orobyss on it.

[tranquil vapor]

is there any other way than just killing the boss who does it?

[tranquil vapor]

and is there...like a way to do it ?

[naive pike]

To do what?

[tranquil vapor]

i traveled so far and stillhave not found him

[naive pike]

Shades appear more often the further away from the center you get.

[tranquil vapor]

oh okay

thanks guess ill travel more far 😄

[naive pike]

In fact, it is inevitable to eventually find a shade, because every route ends in a shade.

[naive pike]

It helps though. Because every time you defeat a timeline boss in an empowered timeline, you gain Gaze of Orobyss. This increases the amount of corruption you get from defeating the shade.

So even if it takes a while to find one, you can make some progress towards that.

Also, the further away you are from the center, the more corruption you get.

[tranquil vapor]

But i cannot defeat the shade now ..i need to have more corruption to do that

[glacial ice]

When does last epoch.db usually update? is it usually after the update goes live since there's no info on the new uniques, set modifiers or idol modifiers. Or will it get updated sometime soon since the patch notes came out, then the rest get added?

[naive pike]

What do you mean? That's not how it works.

[naive pike]

Last Epoch Tools is up to date

[glacial ice]

Oh that's nice

Thought it would take a bit more time

[naive pike]

They've probably been working on it for at least a week before the patch notes dropped

[glacial ice]

The new set fragment modifiers and idol modifiers aren't there I assume?

[naive pike]

They're there.

[glacial ice]

Or uniques

[naive pike]

Weaver Tree is also there.

[glacial ice]

Oh thats really nice

[naive pike]

The new quests are on the quest tracker as well.

It's all there.

[glacial ice]

👍

Didn't expect that atleast

[tranquil vapor]

like here i cannot check or uncheck the dot with harbringer, that means he will not spawn there right ?

and this is quest i have also

[glacial ice]

Iirc I checked last night and it wasnt there yet

[tranquil vapor]

sorry if i am asking nonsense im new to this

[glacial ice]

yep

[dusky kite]

Shade is not connected to harbinger in any way, completely separate mechanics

[median lodge]

it will not spawn, on the right you can follow your quest "corruption lvl 225 is required"

[naive pike]

I thought we were talking about shades, not harbingers.

[median lodge]

New boss "Shades of Harbingbyss"

[naive pike]

Also you are capped on stability.

Also how one earth did you get to 200 corruption if you don't know how to raise corruption?

[stone barn]

Also asking here

[teal trail]

Does the Fire Hit Damage increase my base fire damage and it doesn't represent Increased Fire Damage right?

[stone barn]

yeah that's a flat damage increase

[median lodge]

WHICH Class gonna win the Uberroth ssf hc Ziz" racing and WHY is it a Sentinel ?

[outer mango]

Karv and judgement build

[naive pike]

Probably just dive bomb falconer again.

[median lodge]

do you mean JUDDgement build ?

[outer mango]

[median lodge]

Usual suspect !

I was planning to play Judd-ge-Dr3ad build, hope it'll be fun

[tranquil vapor]

can anyone tell me how to defeat this harbringer?

Full void resist but i die instantly to one spell not dodged

[median lodge]

Kill it before it kills you ^^' you can link your build here :: https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/

[tall leaf]

So have they fixed the issue of not being able to compare 2nd ring slot without having to move it to the 1st ring slot?

[dusky kite]

Get more hp and or ward

[surreal verge]

Yes

[dusky kite]

You were killed by just 1300 damage

[tall leaf]

OMG its a miracle!

[median lodge]

What if he got 10k hp but was at 1k hp before get hit? :p

[dusky kite]

In health builds you want to aim for 3-4k without compromising any other defense layer

[tranquil vapor]

I had like 2k ward , thought 75% void resist would at least help me survive smth 😄

[dusky kite]

In ward builds, more like 5-10k depending

[surreal verge]

If you didn’t have capped void res you’ll die way before the harbringer

[flat oxide]

Are there any changes yet or coming to hardcore? Last time I ripped two times to a dc and dropped the league. I mean is the system still the same - you stay in game for x amount of time after disconnecting?

[median lodge]

that's why i asked for build link, to check defensiv layers...

[hoary zinc]

Hi All. I got this game and am trying to decide what build to try out. Are there any good low APM builds that let me just focus on dodging boss attacks? In games like PoE I used to like minions since I could jsut walk around or RF if it had enough aoe worked at points, or dots with really lone duration. Is there something like that in LE that works well at end game bosses too?

[median lodge]

i think it's the same because, you Know, people will abuse it pluggin out

[tranquil vapor]

ill link it gimme sec

[tranquil vapor]

I cannot link offline builds ?

[median lodge]

i like wraithlord if you don't play hc - looks like this : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN_AGdjc0FA

[flat oxide]

"abuse" is nowhere near a nuclear *ss explosion of dying due to a power outage or network bs. This possibility just kills the concept of hardcore

[median lodge]

arf, Ashunava's advices were the best :: 3-4k HP + endurance armor and else -- +5k ward

[hoary zinc]

Nope, as I said I'm not a good player that's why I like easier builds 😆 No HC for me.

I'll take a look thanks

[tranquil vapor]

this was before i swithced to random gloves with void resist

[median lodge]

speacking of wraithlord lol !

[tranquil vapor]

Yeah as soon as i got helmets for it i started playing it 😄

[surreal verge]

1.3k at lv 90+ running exsang
How the heck did you survive

[tranquil vapor]

i managed to kill him before the harbringer 😄

[lost delta]

Morning all. Trying to craft a belt to port minions and using the glyph calculator is not working? Can someone verify what I'm finding please?

[median lodge]

iam not an expert, but i would change glove - belt - rings - idols (resist)? getting some hp (for ward?) farming blessings (capped crit reduce/avoid -- ward -- resist)

[median lodge]

link it, sometime i miss "item type" on top

[lost delta]

I'm able to select type and adjust the tiers, but it never gives me the option for minion porting.

[tranquil vapor]

how much should i have or ? 😄

[median lodge]

You can do a full craft without having the good affixe, it's rare but can happen -- show da belt ^^

[surreal verge]

2k+

[median lodge]

i got 2.2k, so 2k should be good + gloves ward(experimental)

[median lodge]

Sorry iam dumb, teleport minions is on BOOTS

[lost delta]

I'm offline, not sure I can link the belt. But it doesn't even pop up, minions port with, as one of the skills that is able to be crafted with any belt type or any selection of tiers.

[median lodge]

belt is :

[naive pike]

What modifiers did you add to it?

[median lodge]

just screen like this :

[tranquil vapor]

guess those two things need switching right

[naive pike]

Sometimes a bad modifier turns a harbinger from easy as cake to unreasonable.

[lost delta]

I'm an idiot.

[naive pike]

Also this is just like a personal thing but what's all this stuff in your inventory?

[lost delta]

It's on boots LoL

[median lodge]

^^"

[lost delta]

Too much crafting, my brain is toast.

[tranquil vapor]

in my?

[lost delta]

Thanks regardless, and have a great day!

[median lodge]

i got this :: important is Experiemental ward affixe, HP would be good too

[naive pike]

Your inventory.

[median lodge]

here you can have lot of resist + HP

[median lodge]

In your Bag ^^

[tranquil vapor]

just some stuff i looted when i was farming nothing major

or what specificaly you are talking about?

[naive pike]

That's a lot of keys and eyes and rings and amulets to just have lying around in your inventory. But maybe that's just me.

[median lodge]

Nice !

[wet geode]

Hey guys, relatively new to the game, only played campaign and a couple monos last year.
Do you guys know of any good YT video explanation of old+new mechanics in depth to understand a bit how to navigate the game?
Thanks in advance 🙂

[median lodge]

nah iam "triggered" too

[naive pike]

Tbf, after the patch, the keys and eyes are a nonissue.

Since those get their own tab now.

And we don't even need to pay real money just for a flipping map tab.

[tranquil vapor]

and those eyes idk what to do with them so i just store them near me 😄

[median lodge]

that's a direct HIT to me... A critical Hit ! it's very effective, Kiwi fainted xD

[naive pike]

Excuse me, my brain just shut down looking at that

(I'm being self deprecating here)

[tranquil vapor]

LOL why XD

[naive pike]

This. Why is this here?

[median lodge]

look those keys + YELLOW + exalted AND unique in the SAME Stash ><"

[tranquil vapor]

Oops i have shown even my other tabs 😄

[naive pike]

At the same time he has uniques sorted by LP

[tranquil vapor]

that....should be done right ? 😄

[median lodge]

if you like "well sorted" stash, there is "Stash affinity", like "all key go there, all unique go there"

[naive pike]

That's a lot more detailed sorting than what you did with your keys

[tranquil vapor]

well keys are keys... so i thought all of them should go together 😄

[lavish dew]

Cmon guys don't Sortshame

[naive pike]

It's just that if I were to put keys in a stash I'd put the same keys with other same keys, and I especially would not put a random amulet in the middle of a bunch of keys.

[lavish dew]

We all have had sloppy embarassing to look at stash tabs at some point

[naive pike]

I sorted my uniques by whatever I could fit inside the tab.

[tranquil vapor]

Oh yeah thats what i want to sort...but next week there should be keyring so i guess i will have some free tabs there

[fluid saddle]

ZiggyD has a video explaining stuff

[tranquil vapor]

is it wrong storing them like this ?

[knotty dune]

Is there a way of making the game less dark? I'm missing some kind of gamma slider or something, it's hard to see things most of the time

[tranquil vapor]

you can edit it directly in your monitor ,but apart from that not sure

[fluid saddle]

@wet geode https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_OvGQfJFVXo&feature=youtu.be

[wet geode]

Thanks a lot man 🙂

[crude jewel]

+600% minion damage is enough for most minion builds or should i aim even higher?

[tranquil vapor]

How long did it take you guys to get 4LP items in COF ?

[wet geode]

Do you know maybe someone with a newer video?

[crude jewel]

i never got a 4LP ever 🤷‍♂️

4LP is rly rare

but got a bunch of 3LP though

[outer mango]

Same

[crude jewel]

but also that should not matter anymore with season 2 since you can upgrade the LP of an item if i understood the new crafting right

[tranquil vapor]

oh okay...since those are my only 3 LP items and i feel like they are not that good 😄

[naive pike]

That's a gamble

[crude jewel]

yea gamble it is but its more gamble and near impossible get that rare unique you want to drop AND then to get 3 or 4LP

but yea ofc its still gamble :D we like gamble

[naive pike]

Nemesis crafting can brick the unique you're trying to improve 😛

[raven jolt]

Guys, are there any other changes for CoF besides the lenses? Perhaps they changed the faction level bonuses?

[naive pike]

Not according to patch notes.

[knotty dune]

I'm playing as a Paladin, I'm just wondering what skill is causing Forged Weapons to appear. I don't think I've selected any skills that call them from what I can find

[naive pike]

But the fact that we can now fish exclusively for monolith prophecies while still having two more lens slots is HEOWGE.

[knotty dune]

Found it! it was on Rive

[median lodge]

if it didn't change warpath has forgeweapon generation too

[wooden ermine]

Guys please can someone explain to me the main differences between loot lizards, nemesis and champions in this game?

[naive pike]

Loot lizard:

Literally a lizard that drops loot.

[median lodge]

nemesis : litteraly a Nemesis that drop loots :p

[naive pike]

Nemesis:

A thingy you can encounter in the field, it presents you with a number of items it can drop when you beat it. However, if you choose to "empower" it, it won't drop those items, but the next time you encounter it, it can drop the same items but better.

Champion:

A special kind of enemy that's stronger than a rare, that drops loot with special modifiers you can't get anywhere else.

[wooden ermine]

Ah okay. So all 3 of them drop bunch of loot but nemesis I can control little more? Is there any other significant differnce in what can be obtained from these 3 types of encounters?

[naive pike]

Nemesis is also relevant for a certain type of crafting.

[wooden ermine]

Ah, care to elaborate?

[naive pike]

One of the items it can present you with is an egg. You can put your own unique without LP in there in order to either give it LP or random stats.

[surreal verge]

Nemesis helps you get quality loot and better generic uniques.
Lizards drop a bunch of loot but normal quality.
Champions drop loot that have special affixes only they can drop

[sullen verge]

is the new faction good enough to pick over CoF?

or the money market one

idk its name never played it LOL

[naive pike]

You don't have to pick

[surreal verge]

End game faction, no picking required

[sullen verge]

CoF ik is OP

[naive pike]

It's not

[sullen verge]

huh

i don’t have to pick?

[naive pike]

No

[sullen verge]

is that the case do all of them now then..?

[harsh nest]

trading is always gonna be more OP than not but cof is still good enough

[naive pike]

You join endgame factions automatically, you don't have to choose.

You only have to choose between Merchant's Guild or Circle of Fortune.

[wooden ermine]

Ah I see, so focusing on loot lizards on tree seems bad compared to nemesis and champions?

[naive pike]

No

[sullen verge]

oh okay i see

[surreal verge]

There’s two kinds of factions, item factions and end game factions.
End game factions are auto joined. The new weavers faction is an end game faction.

[wooden ermine]

Also is it known what color of loot lizard drops what kind of items? It is not listed on LETools

[sullen verge]

are there any other end game factions?

or is this the first one

[naive pike]

It really depends on your needs. There is no real optimal thing.

[surreal verge]

It follows the rarity color. So orange is uniques, green is sets, purple is exlateds etc.

[naive pike]

The Forgotten Knights

[sullen verge]

what’s that

[naive pike]

Another endgame faction

[surreal verge]

The harbringer faction is the other end game faction. Did you hit empowered monoliths before?

[wooden ermine]

Okay so blue lizard = idols, green lizard = sets (for the node on waever tree)

[sullen verge]

yeah

is that still gonna be around? i thought that was only a season 1 thing

[surreal verge]

Yeah, there should be a faction that asks you to kill more harbringers to kill abberoth.

[wooden ermine]

And another question, does reducing the number of waves in arena echoes reduce the amount of loot i get in some way? I want to farm champions big time and the uber arenas sound cool but idk if the -waves is bait or not

[surreal verge]

Yes, no season only mechanics right now. Everything is core game

[naive pike]

No it's still there.

[sullen verge]

okay cool cool

i need to study this new endgame one then

[naive pike]

It reduces the amount of loot but it also means you finish the echo faster.

[sullen verge]

also is that true about MG being better than CoF from before?

i only pick CoF cause it’s easier to get better items

cause true true BiS were insanely stupidly expensive

but like you can get near BiS with CoF

[wooden ermine]

Does "rare enemies" include champions / nemesis / loot lizards?

[sullen verge]

cause farming coin..? idek if that’s a viable thing to do

[naive pike]

I mean, mathematically, buying exactly the item you need for your build with gold is just superior no matter how much CoF buffs your loot

[naive pike]

I assume not. Especially not Nemesis as that's more than just a special enemy, it's a whole encounter. Like the rune prisons you may have found on your travels.

[wooden ermine]

To be frank I last played before release lmao, and that was like 4 characters total. I am going in blind

[sullen verge]

omg

this is an insane change

I LOST A RED RING BECAUSE I DIED LAST SECOND AND IT DROPPED

TWICE

in season 1

[naive pike]

Common EHG W

[sullen verge]

this is HUGEEEEEEE

[naive pike]

I'm just saying EHG does this stuff a lot.

[sullen verge]

how small is the area tho

[naive pike]

They don't just think about how to make their game more fun, they actually think about what "fun" actually means.

[sullen verge]

yeah feel like they just read the complaints form here

from*

i complained about it in this very discord

last year

[crude jewel]

how can you get a set affix to T6 or T7?

[naive pike]

Rune of...

Uh

What's it called?

[crude jewel]

nvm found it rune of havoc

i should read before asking lol

so you can only get a sealed set T4 affix not 5,6,7 like tools atm let me build

?

[sullen verge]

#💬┃general message

[naive pike]

Yes you can

First of all the max tier for crafting is 5, but rune of havoc lets you reach 6 or 7

[crude jewel]

how? in the patchnotes it says rune of havoc does not imply sealed affixes

[naive pike]

But it's not a sealed affix

[crude jewel]

?

[dusky kite]

Presumably t7 champion affixed can drop, that is one way

[crude jewel]

aahhh

ok

ty

[naive pike]

It's only a sealed affix if you use a glyph to seal it

[dusky kite]

Or nemesis

[surreal verge]

Yeah technically sealed T7s can drop from nemesis

[crude jewel]

yes but i didnt know the champion thing thats what i was missing

[naive pike]

Oh I thought you were talking about set affixes.

[crude jewel]

yes i am

^^

[naive pike]

Set affixes have nothing to do with champion affixes.

Set affixes also aren't sealed. Unless you seal them yourself.

[surreal verge]

Set affixes cannot exist above T4 if sealed

[crude jewel]

if i seal an set affix that, this sealed set affix i cant upgrade anymore with nothing, my question was why in tools i can build an item with an sealed affix T5/6/7, the answer to that if i understood it right gave shunava that can drop from champion

[surreal verge]

They can be higher then t5 if not sealed

[surreal verge]

Because letools just lets you do that. It did that before when it was impossible to get t6+ in sealed.

[crude jewel]

so tools is then wrong?

ok ty

that was my question

[naive pike]

I mean the solution to this would be to seal a different affix that you're okay with being at a lower tier.

[wooden ermine]

Does this node scale with all other +dmg% increases on the black hole skill tree? Does it scale with flat damage from gear?

[crude jewel]

oh ok, i never tried that before ^^, but now i understand ty

[naive pike]

Incidentally, if you just want the set bonus, sealing a t1 is the perfect way to do that.

[raven jolt]

just imagine how cool it would be

[surreal verge]

Yes. Yes. But mage doesn’t have physical spell support iirc

[naive pike]

I'm not sure how to read this

[surreal verge]

Easiest item powercreep ever. Imagine free red ring 1lps

[wooden ermine]

I mean almost all my specced points are generic enough so it should be fine. hehehehehe. I am cooking

[raven jolt]

move 8th to 12th bonus and change the bonus to +1 LP for any dropped uniques

[surreal verge]

Just remember that somethings are not meant to be saved from the bottom-

[naive pike]

That's not fun if you ask me.

[dusky kite]

Just make it +4

[surreal verge]

This is how you imbalance LPL rates-

[raven jolt]

😔 ok

[naive pike]

It is a balancing act. Loot excitement is like a slingshot. The more you make the player wait for a good drop, the bigger the excitement is when they get it. Just have to make sure the rubber band doesn't break.

[lapis topaz]

I don't understand how people kill aberroth. I kill the two bosses that spawn, then aberroth spawns, turns the whole arena black, and I die in two seconds. Do I really have to kill him faster than 2 seconds?

[naive pike]

No idea how it works but there's probably a trick to surviving that

[sterile wasp]

How Frost claw lookign with the nerfs?

[dusky kite]

His aoe has a safe zone, stand in it

[lapis topaz]

I was on the edge of the arena and didn't see a safe zone. Where is it?

[dusky kite]

In front of him

Then run out before the void wave catches you

Although it's survivable for some builds

[hoary zinc]

What is the blue shield that pops up over enemy health bars? Am I doing something to trigger it? It makes their HP a lot longer to get through.

[fallow geyser]

Got the exact same experience 😂
My warlock isn‘t crazy built but I can farm 300 corruption relatively easy.
Surely I‘ll grind more in season 2 thanks to better endgame and I‘ll figure him out.
Oh, one thing: I know he does a slam right at the start of the fight but still..I feel so squishy against his attacks that I don‘t even see clearly most of the time 😕
Good luck in season 2! ✌🏻

[lapis topaz]

Literally same lol
Also warlock. Also clearing 300.

[lapis topaz]

That's ward. Many bosses have ward spawn over their health at certain intervals. Seems like they added this feature because people were killing them too fast.

[fallow geyser]

Nice 🤣
Maybe warlock too weak /j 🤪

[surreal verge]

Boss ward, effectively temporary hp

[hoary zinc]

Huh okay thanks. It's just odd that it pops up at intervals. Not a mechanic I've seen in other games I don't think. Thanks for the info

[prime patio]

The minus void damage taken applies only to void enemies or it is a general stat?

[graceful escarp]

does anyone know if there is a way to dual wield two handed weapons

[lapis topaz]

Honestly I might just need better gear. There are a number of items I collected where I could go throw some stuff on some unique lp. Just been putting it off because I kinda just don't like running that dungeon.

[naive pike]

Forge guard can wield a shield with a two hander, otherwise, no, that'd be way too powerful.

[native sail]

The little diamonds in their health bar show when. Next patch removes it from anything that isn't an actual boss.

[naive pike]

There's actually these "Drops" under a boss's health bar. Once their health reaches one of those drops, it gains ward.

But bosses that get boss ward removed from them do get more health.

[earnest garden]

That’s a horrendous explanation of why it was introduced

[fallow geyser]

Yeah same, I could improve here and there. Got the good uniques and with good slams but I know I could improve with 100% chance on 1+LP soon so I leave my gear progression as it is for now.
Also Abby should be easier then so I hope it’s better to learn the fight properly.

[naive pike]

Uh, it's just a wrong explanation lol

[lapis topaz]

If I said something that's not correct you can just correct it. It's not a big deal.

[hoary zinc]

Okay I'll have to look out for that next time. I must have missed it. Thanks @native sail and @naive pike 🙂

[naive pike]

They weren't being killed too fast. The previous mechanic that boss ward replaced was just very unclear.

[native sail]

No problem

[quasi mantle]

If I have a bunch of bleed duration from items I'm wearing, and I convert all of my bleed to time rot (like in the new rive tree node). Does anyone know if the bleed duration from my items also work for my time rot?

[native sail]

It shouldn't

[tranquil pike]

So am I correct in assuming that uber abberoth does not need keys to enter? Because I've saved an entire stash tab of keys for it lol

[native sail]

Non-zero chance it gets bugged and does, but it isn't supposed to unless you have a modifier somewhere stating so

[median lodge]

" It's not Uber-Aberroth but Uberroth
It's no Weaver tree but Weaver Web
It's not Judgement but Juddgement "

[rough gulch]

I know if you die in map you lose that map, does this apply also when I want to ferry loot into my stash?

[surreal verge]

You need to kill normal abberoth to drop the woven echo that allows you to fight it. No other cost other than the woven echo itself

[naive pike]

So you do need the eye to fight regular Abberoth.

[quasi mantle]

Okay, so they've said a few times they are buffing health regen. But everything I've seen in the patch notes has been nerfs to health regen. Unless I'm missing something?

[naive pike]

I hope it's more than just Abberoth with higher stats.

[naive pike]

It's been buffed on items

[median lodge]

they said "new attacks"

hope it's not the "new blizzard" type => we recolored the attack black=>red it's new !

[native sail]

Item regen has been buffed and base regen as well iirc.

A few threshold passives also got scaling regen that is extremely easy to take advantage of

[quasi mantle]

I see. I just noticed on primalist they nerfed the health regen from swipe panther stacks from 15% per stack to 3% per stack

500% nerf LOL

[native sail]

Uh. That's not how you measure that.

[quasi mantle]

What % nerf is it then?

[naive pike]

That's not a regen nerf, that's an aspect of the panther nerf.

[quasi mantle]

Thhats like saying the civil war wasnt about slavery lol

[naive pike]

It wasn't.

[quasi mantle]

lmfao

[native sail]

[surreal verge]

That’s not a game wide nerf, since it’s tied to one class.

The general(not tied to class) sources of health regen got boosted

[quasi mantle]

Yea but its nerfed in most other places on passives and nodes

I was just pointing out a rather large one as an example

[native sail]

Regardless, that's like 80% nerf I think?

But yeah, health regen is definitely better overall, I've been messing about with it and it's very easy to get like 10% of your health per second on pretty low investment on some classes

[naive pike]

Still not a regen nerf.

That's like saying ward is nerfed because intelligence gives less ward retention.

[quasi mantle]

Yea thats an int nerf

Nothing to do with ward

Totally unrelated

[naive pike]

Please do not just add words to what I'm saying and then act like I said those words.

[quasi mantle]

Im not, im using sarcasm to point out how wrong you are

[median lodge]

It's not a "global" nerf because :: BASE regen has been increased -- i think without nerfing % bonus, it would become too strong

[surreal verge]

If the end result is that you will have more regen overall, is it a nerf or buff?

[naive pike]

You're twisting my words in order to point out how wrong a straw version of me is.

[median lodge]

how so if ward ret go nerfed => so "max" ward is too no?

[quasi mantle]

Yeah the strawman from wizard of oz was missing the same thing you are

[naive pike]

Should I involve a mod? This conversation is getting very unpleasant.

[median lodge]

remember man :

[surreal verge]

Following his logic falconer got nerfed-

Lol falconer nerf

Imagine

[naive pike]

Didn't divebomb get a nerf?

[quasi mantle]

Just gonna ignore his reponse to that

[naive pike]

Acting like my response was the issue 🤣

[teal trail]

Are rogue shadows considered charges unless a skill states that they explicitly do something?

[karmic blaze]

Hey guys. What is the trade currency in LE, like chaos or Divines in poe?

[naive pike]

Gold

[fading wave]

The old is +400% from the new value so its a 400% nerf not 500%

[surreal verge]

Not a charge, since it has a duration

[teal trail]

Like normal people 😄

[surreal verge]

Gold.

[native sail]

It's... not.

That's again not how you measure that

[karmic blaze]

Gotcha. I just got to monos and seems like a good amount drops. Is target farming straight gold a legit strat?

[fading wave]

you could also say its a -80% buff

[teal trail]

Do shadows do anything by themselves is what I really wanted to ask

[native sail]

Yes. Called an 80% nerf.

[naive pike]

What item faction did you choose?

[surreal verge]

They do not. They mostly interact with other skills

[native sail]

400% would be -15 × 4

[median lodge]

What was the D4 "800% bonus if you pay" ?

[fading wave]

GGG : " This is a Buff "

[ripe tiger]

is there anywhere we can view the changed skill / passive trees? like not patch notes but the updated trees themselves

[karmic blaze]

I'm playing the ssf faction rn to learn the game a bit but on leaguestart gonna go trade @naive pike

CoF rn

[teal trail]

Does detonating arrow replace the charging arrow? Cause I only see one explosion

[native sail]

It went down by 80% of it's original value, so it's an 80% nerf. 400% of it's original value would take it to... -45%?

[naive pike]

If you're going Merchant's Guild you will need all the gold you can get. Although some of it can be earned by finding good items to sell.

[surreal verge]

Letools

[dense jay]

This is pretty big for 1 lens.. I wonder if Frozen had updated the sheet

[ripe tiger]

ty

[karmic blaze]

What's like the relative value of a 1lp kind of desirable but not super exclusive unique? Say something like a quill rain in poe early on?

[fading wave]

500% of the new value is 15 , new value +400% is also 15

[native sail]

No, 500% of the new value would be 18

[mystic karma]

I skimmed the patch notes but couldn't find anything so figured I'd ask: any story content being added with this patch?

[karmic blaze]

And is there a way to price check items?

[native sail]

Because +100% of the new value is adding 3

[minor beacon]

Best class for a noob of this game to pick that is easy to learn?

[fading wave]

base value is already the 100% base , thats how you do the calculations

[native sail]

Brother what

[naive pike]

Nothing in the campaign, but the Weavers faction has some new story.

[native sail]

Oml

[fading wave]

its always 1+ xyz

[native sail]

I'm out

[surreal verge]

No

[mystic karma]

Sadge, still abruptly dumped into monolith then 😅

[fading wave]

reasony why some of the affixes also show such wild percentages as 48000% , because base values are a thing

[median lodge]

nope

[fading wave]

even if the base value is 0.01 it is calculated as the base 1 for calculation

[quiet roost]

Weird question - if a Skills primary damage gets converted outside of the skill itself converting does that two calculations happen independently and then get added together for the final damage total?

[dense jay]

wait the beta WASD is in season 2?

[fading wave]

doesnt the ingame guide tell people about damage conversions and when they happen ?

[naive pike]

Math can only ever cover one damage type.

The math will only ever consider that one damage type

[quiet roost]

But, is that the same in 1.2 theres new affixes that I am seeing that make it seem like a portion of damage is getting converted not the primary damage itself getting converted.

[naive pike]

So when damage is converted from one type to another, whether it's partially or fully, the math will never consider the damage type it used to be.

[quiet roost]

Unless I am misunderstanding the new affixes

[naive pike]

Conversions happen before applying multipliers, is a better way to put it maybe.

[quiet roost]

Let me paint a picture maybe it'll be easier. Let's say Hammer Throw's BASE damage is Physical for 50 damage, but the new Affixes on Idols says it converts 100% of the BASE damage to Fire. And I put 5 of those idols on my character - do I get 500% Damage conversion to Fire on the Base 50 damage?

Does it calculate it as Additive damage? Do I still get a Physical Calculation for all of the Skill's internal tree's calculations or do those all get voided? Does having multiple conversion idol affixes stack or having more than 1 is wasted?

[fading wave]

You cant convert more than 100% of a thing

[naive pike]

Yeah

You'll still deal base 50 fire damage no matter how far over 100% you go

[fading wave]

If i convert an Apple with 500% to banans i dont suddenly have 5 Banans

[naive pike]

I mean some math do work that way

But in LE it does not.

[quiet roost]

Yeah I'm not sure if each instance of the idol is another 50 damage

[naive pike]

It's not

[quiet roost]

Otherwise why make it an Idol that you can have multiple of

[teal trail]

Does every map have a Nemesis?

[naive pike]

You can have multiple of it, but you don't have to

[naive pike]

No, but it happens frequently.

[fading wave]

here have an Idol that singlehandedly Quintuples your Damage , yeah dont make much sense

[quiet roost]

Additive

[naive pike]

If it worked the way you describe it wouldn't be additive.

[fading wave]

The places where over 100% things makes sense is in Ailment application because every 100% is one more guaranteed Stack

[fading wave]

multi since its the Base damage so its the very first thing that all other calculations are based on

[teal trail]

Does detonating arrow replace the charging arrow? Cause I only see one explosion

[naive pike]

Like idk what to tell you man, converting more than 100% of your damage does not make you deal more damage. It just doesn't.

[quiet roost]

I mean each instance isn't multiplying the new base. It would be 50+50+50+50+50 which yes using the base 50 is 5x but its not multiplicative for each idol the base doesn't convert each calculation

[naive pike]

Ok fine but it just does not work that way.

It will not make you deal more damage.

[dawn warren]

Does every additional strike of multistrike apply ailments separately?

[fading wave]

As long as it is a separetly calculated Hit

[crimson loom]

Can we respec weaver tree?

[sullen verge]

what was the +1 to all attributes again

which attributes i forgot

[naive pike]

All of them

[native sail]

Kill Majasa

[fading wave]

yes

[dawn warren]

The way i read the skill multistrike it says that each stack of armament causes an additional sword to hit an enemy. I wonder if each of that sword hit is an additional hit that can apply ailments separately.

[fading wave]

str dex int att vit

[sullen verge]

i don’t remember what the attributes were tho

[dusky kite]

It is

[naive pike]

See above

[fading wave]

As said , as long as its calculated at its separate damage source , then it will

explosive traps with the potion slinger also does that

[dawn warren]

That means that my homebrewed build might have a chance in the new season.

[naive pike]

This might sound very silly, but each hit, is a hit.

[mighty bough]

If I’m looking for a build to make as many procs of things casting other things what’s the best place to start? Seems like heartseaker puncture with reign of winter, harbinger of stars, and spark charge spell blade are good choices. Am I missing anything? Thanks!

[sullen verge]

is it specialisation for skills (when it says 20 or sometimes more with gear and what not)

[naive pike]

This actually means that ailment based builds really work well with multistrike in single target scenarios.

Instead of spreading stacks to multiple targets you can stack a bunch on a single target.

[fading wave]

would then go for phys shred , armor shred , Bleed and have some Armor shred effectiveness

[dawn warren]

That is what I will be focusing with my multistrike bleed build.

[fading wave]

i believe Bleed was affected by both armor and phys res right ? its a while ago since i did dummy tests

[sullen verge]

oh it’s dex str etc

okay that doesn’t sound like it’s worth it

or is it?

do i stop at ch 7 or whatever once ive gotten all of my idol slots and max extra passive points or complete campaign? for that +1?

stop and go into mono

[fading wave]

i dont believe you would really miss the +1 all attributes

[native sail]

Only phys res naturally. Armor only works on hits normally, you need other items/passives to make it work on DoT

[naive pike]

+1 to all stats completely for free without it costing any passive points or affix slots.

[fading wave]

i had that on my FG a while back where my forged weapons made 120k Bleed dots , i might wanna revisit that

[naive pike]

Getting it is literally 100% better than not getting it.

[native sail]

It's not like, make or break by any means but it is basically just free stats yeah

[fading wave]

i personalyl wouldve prefered +20% res against whatever Ailments Majasa does

[naive pike]

Also if you're looking to wear a red ring, that brings you 5 points closer to that magic number.

[native sail]

Phys and poison mostly iirc. Sprinkle some fire and void in I think?

[naive pike]

Why would you want resistance against Majasa's ailments after killing Majasa?

[quiet roost]

Another question - does Negative % Resistences carry the same weight in the damage formula as Additive % Damage?

[naive pike]

It's not really a matter of "weight".

[native sail]

That's effectively a more multiplier I think?

[naive pike]

Resistance is a stat on the thing you hit.

[quiet roost]

Like -50% Fire Res to a Mob, vs, +50% Fire Damage

[naive pike]

Nothing to do with your modifiers.

[sullen verge]

so worth it?

[native sail]

Lemme call my math guy

@icy drift we need your brain

[sullen verge]

or do it later after you have empowered monoliths

[naive pike]

I'd say it is. Not like it takes that long to get.

It doesn't really matter when you get it.

[icy drift]

wazap

[naive pike]

But when you do get it, it does add something.

[sullen verge]

sure

thanks!

[native sail]

Where abouts does pen/shred fall in relations to other modifiers?

[quiet roost]

-50% Fire Resistence vs +50% Fire Damage (Assume it's Empowered Blessings) which one carries more weight

[icy drift]

they're additive with eachother but multiplicative with everything else

[ripe tiger]

looks like a good lv20 tree for erasing strike? idk if the mana costs will be manageable tho its like 90 mana per use

[native sail]

Thank you, sire

[icy drift]

-50% res is the same as 50% more

[naive pike]

50% inc or 50% more?

[quiet roost]

Essentially there's Empowered Blessings - 1 stacks -5% Fire Resistence 12x, another adds +100% Fire Damage.

[naive pike]

are there any enemies with resistances other than 0%?

[icy drift]

but if you already have like -20% res it becomes -70% res, which is around 42% more dmg, in which case 50% more is better

[icy drift]

yes but very few

practically the answer is no

no enemy of note has resistance

[quiet roost]

So it's always better to take the +100% Blessings?

[native sail]

Cyborg have you seen my electrify planner since we're talking pen?

[quiet roost]

considering the negative values have to stack anyway

[icy drift]

lol nah, how much do you get on it

[crimson loom]

I feel dumb, what does this do?

[naive pike]

This are increased, not more

[native sail]

Well over 100%. Well over.

[icy drift]

sheeeesh

[fading wave]

means you can get the nemesis weapons easier

[loud hamlet]

Something I just noticed--Calculated Destruction mentions Mana Strike, but Mana Strike doesn't have the Spell tag. Is the description wrong or does it apply to non-Spell skills?

[native sail]

It's only talking about the effects of intelligence itself, not the crit chance mentioned below

[crimson loom]

... what is "nemesis weapon", is there some specific pool of mods that spawn on these?

[icy drift]

it used to be generic crit, just old text

[loud hamlet]

ah, got it

[naive pike]

spell subskills count

[fading wave]

Its an additional Base Type of weapons

[icy drift]

that too

[knotty tinsel]

does it still say 4% ward retention? lol

[quiet roost]

Thats what I'm looking at

[loud hamlet]

in the planner, yeah

[crimson loom]

Oh, so if I plan to got uniq bow + uniq quiver this is useless? thanks!

[quiet roost]

Trying to see which one holds more value

[icy drift]

well tbf we don't know that this is all updated to 1.2

[kindred ibex]

did they say anything about limits to weaver idols?

some of them look very stackable 🙂

[naive pike]

Do you know the difference between increased and more?

It matters

[quiet roost]

Yes

[fading wave]

correct , but the Nemesis wepaons seem to have a hidden feature as well 🙂

[naive pike]

Negative resistance is closer to being more than increased.

[quiet roost]

It has no bearing on the question - I just want to know if a 50% chance to stack 12x for -50% Resistences is somehow better than adding +100% Fire Damage to my additive damage 100% of the time.

This isn't me needing a definition of the terms

I just want the answer

[naive pike]

In other words, whether 100% increased has value depends on how much %increased you have from other sources.

[quiet roost]

Assume 0

[naive pike]

The answer is "it depends"

Is it really 0 though?

[quiet roost]

For this calculation yes

[naive pike]

What if you're stacking attributes? That's a source of increased damage under most circumstances.

[quiet roost]

And assume 0% Resistence on the Enemy mob

so it'll be -50%

at max stacks

[naive pike]

I don't think assuming 0% increased is a realistic scenario

[median lodge]

i always pick pen / shred because there is a lot of way to have "increased X type of damage"

[naive pike]

If you have more than 100% increased damage from other sources, the shred is absolutely, with 100% certainty, better value.

[quiet roost]

The problem is time to accrue. For instance if hypothetically the GCD on any skill is 1 second then it would take 12-24 seconds to get 12x stacks to cap out the shred.

In 12-24 seconds you would hit 12-24x. Where that 100% additive would factor 12-24x.

[surreal verge]

Increased damage is better if both values are at 0. Res pen is better if your increased damage is 100% or higher and res pen is 0

[quiet roost]

I can't see where Shred would be better

[solemn prawn]

@surreal verge Do you know what are gonna be the changes to the graphics of the game ?

[native sail]

Basically no skills have a GCD, one of the only known exceptions is Swipe

[surreal verge]

There’s changes for graphics?

[naive pike]

The only changes I know of is model updates and some lighting tweaks.

[solemn prawn]

Raxx jsut said they have changed engines

So it doesnt look "cheap"

[native sail]

They didn't change engines, they updated to a newer version of Unity

[outer mango]

Monolith area is reworked

[naive pike]

There are no major engine updates in the patch notes.

If there were major engine updates they'd be in the patch notes.

[outer mango]

Engine changed while ago

Updated*

[native sail]

Changing engines entirely would be like, a several year long endeavor of basically remaking the core of the game from scratch. And the engine update already happened in a patch before this, there's just typical visual update stuff going on.

[naive pike]

So either you're looking at a different Raxx video, understanding him incorrectly, or Raxx is wrong.

[native sail]

FWIW I don't hold Raxx in high opinion anyway

[naive pike]

That's why I added him being wrong as an option

[outer mango]

Its engine upgrade, raxx said it wrong

[storm wren]

why 2 points is the max for this node? I don't see any available bonus for this node by more points I put...

[naive pike]

It increases the chance.

[storm wren]

emmmmm but no exact chance here and how much chance I can get per point

"have a chance"

[karmic blaze]

Another question. Can you get to a5 and do the monos for levelling on leaguestart?

[latent apex]

In order to start doing empowered monos I need to beat all of the base versions first right?

[naive pike]

Actually you only need to complete the three level 90 ones.

[latent apex]

Oh gods... well 1 down 2 to go 😅

[kindred ibex]

I tried loading a legacy char to test some builds but their loadout is broken because they don't have COF rank on legacy, is there any quick fix or do I just need to farm rank

[crimson loom]

can you try rejoining CoF legacy?

[latent apex]

Id say you could probably wait till new season when Cylce Characters move over to Legacy?

[naive pike]

The best way to get ranks in Legacy is to just add the ranks you build in Cycle.

[karmic blaze]

@naive pike Another question. Can you get to a5 and do the monos for levelling on leaguestart?

[naive pike]

Unless you just do not play Cycle at all.

[naive pike]

If you want and know what you're doing.

[karmic blaze]

6 days to practice XDD

[naive pike]

As soon as you reach the end of time you can go to the monolith.

[karmic blaze]

Wish me luck

[kindred ibex]

I don't play legacy and it put me at 1 😭 I'll just farm the ranks I guess

[naive pike]

Best way to test your idea is to make a character found character

And see if your build is good enough to handle early monolith

[median lodge]

i think you can start Mono at lvl 25

[storm wren]

what the difference between possessed Nemesis and normal Nemesis?

[naive pike]

I mean, you can start as soon as you enter the end of time right?

[naive pike]

A possessed nemesis is a nemesis that is also possessed.

Any enemy can be possessed

It's more powerful and drops memory amber

[storm wren]

oh do this enemy drop memory amber is the difference and this is the only difference?

[naive pike]

It's more powerful and drops memory amber.

[surreal verge]

Did you tranafer your stash?

[storm wren]

What the difference on rewards after Nemesis become more powerful except they will drop memory amber?

[naive pike]

I'm fairly sure you can add any progress you made in cycle to your progress in legacy right?

[kindred ibex]

I don't think so, is that an option somewhere

[naive pike]

I assume they'll drop a lot of it, and probably have a chance to drop woven echoes as well. Oh, and since they are more powerful they also should drop more and rarer shards.

[naive pike]

Of course it has to be progress from a cycle character from a cycle that has ended.

[surreal verge]

https://discord.com/channels/368953963267096586/1260279433772662854

[storm wren]

🤔 Thanks for the info, appreciated. But I still not sure should I spec this node...

[naive pike]

There's a little trick that these nodes play with your mind.

Don't think of it as a "marginally better nemesis".

Think of it as "more opportunities to see a nemesis".

[storm wren]

So I can get more bonus if I spec that node with this node because more common Nemesis = more possessed Nemesis?

[naive pike]

This one just generically increases nemesis spawn rate in all your echoes that can spawn nemeses.

The other one makes them spawn in your cemeteteries and tombs.

[storm wren]

oh... holy god. You pointed the key...Thanks

[kindred ibex]

this worked, thank you

[naive pike]

Like I said, a lot of these play mind tricks on you and make you miss the obvious point of it.

[visual basin]

How to unlock harbingers or the waypoint to the shattered road on an alt in legacy? by completing a lvl 90 timeline like the last ruin?

[naive pike]

If it's not already unlocked you need to do one level 90 timeline yes.

[visual basin]

ok perfect thx, then i'm in on my way

[storm wren]

@dense jay Ok I'm done

[uncut scarab]

Checking, there’s no new pinnacle boss right? We’re not going to fight the Weaver herself

[naive pike]

If you don't count Uber Abberoth.

[surreal verge]

Uber abberoth is the only one iirc

[naive pike]

There are a handful of new non-pinnacle bosses though.

[rain shoal]

Hey new here, wanted to ask how does this game do when using an Xbox one controller?

[uncut scarab]

Oh I thought normal aberroth was pinnacle content. But so there will be more bosses on the same level of aberroth?

[surreal verge]

If so, we don’t know

[formal dew]

Lots of controller improvements in 1.2

[uncut scarab]

It was fine depending on build before depending on what skills you were using, but a lot of improvements are coming in 1.2

[outer mango]

Felt good with ps5 controller and they made alot of improvements for gamepads so should be good with xbox one too

[rain shoal]

Oh sweet, when does 1.2 drop?

[outer mango]

17th

[rain shoal]

Hell yeah

So goodbye D4?

lol

[dense jay]

looks much better than mine lol

[outer mango]

Long gone

[formal dew]

Never played a Hammerdin Paladin, looking to play a bleed version with spiralinghammers.
is it going to feel ultra clunky if you dont have the node to make them follow you? is that basically rquired?

[rain shoal]

Guess I’ll pick it up then

Another question, do I just need to buy the base game?

[formal dew]

yes

[outer mango]

Ye

[rain shoal]

Like are there expansions

[outer mango]

No

[rain shoal]

Oh wow

I’m assuming there is though in game cosmetics you can buy?

[outer mango]

Yes

[rain shoal]

Interesting

[outer mango]

And get some free with twitch drops

[rain shoal]

This game has been on my radar

[naive pike]

It is, Uber Abberoth is even pinnacle-er.

[rain shoal]

Any recommendations for a first time class?

[outer mango]

Karv said out of 1000 who can kill abberoth maybe 1 can kill uber abberoth

9*

His guess but might be close the truth

[median lodge]

1 000 players or 1 000 builds ? cause i can/cannoit kill abyby depending on my build

[outer mango]

Players

[storm wren]

I find the biggest change for me when I'm carrying info about my legacy marksman build is idols

These idols I'm wearing don't available in 1.2 anymore

[crimson loom]

what is "favor cache"?

[storm wren]

good question

[faint cape]

A new type of cache, no clue

[ruby trellis]

Anyone know what a good %inc Damage is in end game? 1000%, 3000%? etc? I know you want to combine with multipliers but Im trying to get a rough estimate of where to put my increased at in combination

[naive pike]

I would assume a cache that gives you favor when you open it?

[crimson loom]

I wonder, what favor? Like, I assume CoF/MG, or also possible to get new faction favor too?

[naive pike]

Weavers have a favor gauge to

[carmine prawn]

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if there's any ToS against using true offline mode to test out theorycrafted builds?
I'm happy that EHG provided a character builder for the game, but as someone that's dumb af, I can't decide from a sheet of paper whether i've cooked up is good or not.

[dusky kite]

You mean editing your saves in offline? They don't mind but for some reason discourage discussing it in discord

Also even if they did mind it, they have no way to know

Also the character builders are all third party, made by some guy

Not ehg

[lavish dew]

% inc health is still there on Rogue Large idols, it is just changed to dodge+health. Flat health suffix on stout idols is removed.

[carmine prawn]

Fair enough, then I've been misinformed. I can get behind why they discourage discussing it, thanks for letting me know anyhow.

[tight olive]

Could someone suggest skills that can be built around that is visually pleasing/impactful to use? From any class

[median lodge]

Mods are against ToS and shouldn't be discuss in this discord (i parrot what Moderators said)

[median lodge]

Pick one and try during leveling, ez to respec, depending on what "visually pleasure" mean (like epileptic killing?)

[median lodge]

i really like Erasing strike (for impact a melee build Void Knight

[tight olive]

Like Multishot or Tornado just does not look fun to use. They feel bland. I come from POE and what I love most about it is how fun it looks when killing monsters. I'm hoping Heartseeker looks fun to use

[high pike]

I have just finished calculating the dps for my build idea.
What are you thoughts on ~2m dps excluding any kind of mitigations but also excluding "capped" armour shred.
That is with a high-end setup in terms of gear. (which might not be optimal as I do not know all items yet)

[median lodge]

Many skills "feel" blant in LE :c

[tight olive]

This does look fun

[tight olive]

And unfortunately that can't be fixed with cosmetics not working offline

[median lodge]

Shatter strike is fun too, i like the sound / effect, but it's melee

[naive pike]

Would you wager this is a Uber Abberoth drop?

[tight olive]

That does look pretty awesome!

[outer mango]

Afaik they said its from ubberoth

[median lodge]

yeah Shatter has the "herald ice crit" sound vibe

[naive pike]

Can't imagine what else would drop an amazing capstone item like this.

[tight olive]

How do you guys theory craft? Is there some sort of tool to calculate damage

[naive pike]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/

[high pike]

No

Litterally Table calculations

[naive pike]

Although yeah, the way we actually figure out the damage we deal is by trying it out.

Or, if you wanna get granular, do the math yourself.

[zenith ridge]

hello, i have a question.. just got last epoch to play... should i just wait for the new season before playing? like anything i play now will reset in like 5 days right?

[mystic agate]

If you have Arcane Projection and you proc elemental nova on hit from an idol, will it cast Elemental Nova on the attacker? or still just around you?

[naive pike]

Your choice, you could start a character to get a feel for the game.

Also your character won't get deleted, it'll just be moved to Legacy.

[dense jay]

I unlocked all imprint slots, focused on arena echoes, champions, cemeteries & tombs related, exiled mages & nemeses here and there

pretty much abit of everything 👀

[tight olive]

If you're playing Merchant guild, then you should wait. Otherwise, no real reason to wait if you wana get an early start on leveling. The campaign isn't changing that much I believe. It's getting easier if I recall correctly

[storm wren]

That's what I want to say too

[zenith ridge]

merchant guild?

[naive pike]

That would be one of the things you'd learn about if you start early.

[tight olive]

There are two playstyles with Last Epoch, you could play Solo Self Found and drop more items (Which are not tradable), or play for trade. You can't do both at the sametime, but you could switch between them whenever.

[zenith ridge]

ah ok. ill play today a bit to get a feel of the game. ill see what classes and stuff i can choose when i get home in like 2-3 hours

[dense jay]

pretty much excluded orobyss, loot lizard, more rune/glyph/gold drop, and blocking of any rewards

[naive pike]

Technically Circle of Fortune isn't true solo self found since you can still gift and receive gifts.

[zenith ridge]

ah is there like guilds for players and stuff? my only experience with these games is a tiny bit of grim dawn and poe 2 i got when it came out and been playing

[late plover]

will we have to redo our loot filters?

[naive pike]

It's not really a guild. Ever played a game that has like faction reputation stuff? Like WoW?

[zenith ridge]

wanted to get into it but everyone told me to stay away from WoW growing up. 😂

ill see how it is when i get on

[naive pike]

Near the end of the campaign you have to choose between the Merchant's Guild (which lets you buy and sell items on a market), and the Circle of Fortune (which improves the quality of your drops and lets you manipulate your drops).

[mystic agate]

right now last epoch tools planner can only estimate DPS with select spells

[tight olive]

Can people actually make the numbers in planner get above 1m?

[mystic agate]

dunno

have you gotten close

[tight olive]

I've never tried

[gaunt igloo]

the set item shards are predetermined already right so i cant get vilatiras staff 200+ mana right?

[surreal verge]

Yup

[gaunt igloo]

dang alright thank you!

[mystic agate]

If you have Arcane Projection and you proc elemental nova on hit from an idol, will it cast Elemental Nova on the attacker? or still just around you?

[frank mauve]

I found an item with weaver's will in a harbinger thingy. if I empower it how will that work with weavers will? like will the item become legendary and the stats given will be boosted by WW or will it lose WW and only get the new stats?

[dusky kite]

Empowering ww items with harb can give them more ww but not affixes

[frank mauve]

!!!!

nice

[distant radish]

how will loot filters work with the big patch - is there an opportunity to add the new stuff to your filters before patch day?

[tight olive]

I wonder if Heartseeker will work as a clear skill

[earnest garden]

it might be able to with the puncture node and a kitted out puncture tree

[real onyx]

I didnt play offline mode (not FULL offline) since a very long time. does offline mode works with instable internet such as mobile data ? if i have a short internet break, does it close my game ?

[faint cape]

It casts on the attacker iirc

[unborn peak]

If my weapon has +cold melee damage and I use a non-cold tag skill like swipe, would the cold damage part of swipe be increased by %cold damage and would the generic %damage in swipe tree increase the cold damage also?

[faint cape]

Correct

[surreal verge]

ALl it needs is the initial login.

[surreal verge]

Yes and yes.

[unborn peak]

Thanks

[unborn peak]

Thanks

[real onyx]

Thanks so i will be able to use the global chat 😄

[surreal verge]

If your connetion dies you'll most likely lose global chat for a while

[real onyx]

It will not dies. but if it dies, i wanted to be sure it doesnt close the game.

[surreal verge]

Oh it doesn't close the game, just kills your chat.

[real onyx]

season start is always fun to have the chat ON. many people ask questions and i like to answer those

[rich monolith]

Are there duo, trio group builds in LE?

[toxic echo]

not really. there is no real "support". just builds that work together, like all fire, and stuff like that

pala has some decent ally heals but its not like a full support of anything

[formal dew]

Never played a Hammerdin Paladin, looking to play a bleed version with spiralinghammers.
is it going to feel ultra clunky if you dont have the node to make them follow you? is that basically rquired?

[earnest garden]

not really, most people dont bother with that node

[exotic hamlet]

Is my zoom bugged, I cannot zoom out more? I want to make sure before reporting a bug, I tried changing resolutions full screen/windowed and using the mouse wheel to try to zoom out more.
https://i.imgur.com/3XerK1Y.jpeg

[earnest garden]

its honestly better if they don't follow you, because then packs of enemies trailing behind you still keep getting hit and killed by them

[storm wren]

sorry Judd. But I just want a pure phoenix pet 👀 I'm not into current pets

[surreal verge]

There's nothing that's effectively a dedicated support build, if that helps.

[storm wren]

oh I remind of something. Isn't one of enemies in le now is phoenix? yeahhhhhh, just need to make it like... Something as similar as that is enough

[blissful zenith]

Is the new weaver faction separate from the other 2?

(As in, can you be merchants and weaver?)

[real breach]

yes
you can have an item faction (CoF/MG), the harbies faction and the weaver

[storm wren]

oh wait... Then I know what this tooltip mean... Hah interesting
I wonder can this tome summon an phoenix now 🤭 I guess phoenix will come from divine era?

[neat marlin]

Hello, as a relatively new player (I played on 1.0 a Runemaster but didn't get high corruption), I was looking to try the game again after seeing all the upgrades and balances.
What would be an easier overall Experience, a Heartseeker Marksman or a Warpath Void Knight??

[storm wren]

are you a melee fan? If yeah, void knight. If no, marksman.

[native sail]

Warpath is basically "hold button and go" so that's easier by definition I would say

[neat marlin]

Is melee good? or is it POE 2 Warrior?

[native sail]

Melee is good here.

[neat marlin]

Thank you

[storm wren]

Because armour works here.
