[icy drift]

Not sure tbh

we don't have the numbers

I'd say majority of people play the season

but idk if it's 50/50 or 90/10

[storm blaze]

We leave a legacy (of nothing)
For those that come after

[raw talon]

scary timeline. lol

[hot dune]

So ill be playing the campaign all over again in S3 until I get to the chapter where I get access to the end of time? Or all 9 chapters again?

[icy drift]

I mean you can always go do monolith's after end of time even if it's your first character but you won't have factions unlocked so it's ill advised

[toxic echo]

we are getting a new chapter in s3 so it'll prolly be nice to check that out. but yea normally first toon goes to factions unless you are purposely racing or somethin

you generally dont have keys until after for the dungeon skips

[icy drift]

Meh even when we raced we went to factions first tbh

[idle sun]

When i try to enter the game it states that my client is not up to date, but i can't find a place to upgrade it... how can i solve this problem? could anyone help me?

[icy drift]

you don't get overleveled when you rush so hard so campaign is actually decent xp

[icy drift]

force restart steam

[toxic echo]

there was a patch about 15 minutes ago...so grab that with a force restart or verify files

[icy drift]

right click it on your task bar and click exit steam

[toxic echo]

also watch #news for news about patch drops

[idle sun]

Thanks a lot cyborg san and eagles san!

[soft thorn]

so... this happened, am i allowed to cry yet? lol as soon as the loot drops the server disconnects so they can update, EHG, what did i do to youuuuu

lol

[toxic echo]

i mean thats why they warn you about server restarts ingame

and on discord

[icy drift]

To be fair they did tell us an hour in advance :P

but yeah that sucks rip

[soft thorn]

completely forgot lol

im not mad im just like nooooooo whyyyy

[storm wren]

Is this bug known that I will be transported to the town instead of staying in dungeon after I clicked respawn on the death page? It'll consume me 1 key but do nothing.

[icy drift]

It do be like that fr

[icy drift]

sounds like a bug yea

[storm wren]

@cedar locust

[soft thorn]

dear santa, please bring me the loots ive lost throughout my plays lol

damn its funny cuz its sad

[icy drift]

yeah it's an old bug that existed before the respawn button, but because the respawn button takes a key it's more severe now so make sure to report it

[storm wren]

👀 I'm curious because I don't see the latest patch mentioned that

[icy drift]

They don't mention known bugs, they only mention bug fixes

[dusk violet]

is poison considered elemental damage?

[toxic echo]

no

just fire, cold, lightning

[dusk violet]

oh

[faint cape]

Whether it's known or not, doesn't matter. If you find something that seems like a bug, just report it in game by pressing F8

[storm wren]

get used to play full offline... Ok wait a moment

[faint cape]

Ah yeah, that does make it harder. If you play regular offline, you can do the in game report, I think.

[storm wren]

@cedar locust which skill have you selected as the last one?

[cedar locust]

Shurikens, but I'm not the best Bladedancer player in the Discord 😅

[dense jay]

updated engine changed the font colour?

[toxic echo]

shurikens that give you the armor buff is huge for bd most of the time

[storm wren]

#💬┃general message
No

[storm wren]

No twist, it's bad. I have thought the pirate still attack me after received my golds

[neat canopy]

This will make it so LMB click will attack when there's something to attack, and move when there isn't? (or both if move when out of range is selected).

[novel lotus]

It’s really bad and sometimes hard to distinguish

[smoky zealot]

Maybe a stupid question but the upgrade in engine, does it mean it would run better on steamdeck or will it run better in future?

[dense jay]

It looks unpolished, damage taken number in red also looks unnatural

rough

[toxic echo]

it could...its mostly for better tools in the future. but it might have some unintended upgrades for current

[cedar locust]

This one will do that

[neat canopy]

Digital life, more real than real.

[neat canopy]

This alone did not do that... while set, LMB did not attack, it moved around the mobs.

[storm wren]

This dagger for necromancer? But why necromancer need a dagger?

[desert tree]

Its not a dagger its a staff 😄

Gives 100 Flat Spell

[neat canopy]

I went through the keybindings several times and could not find a key for passive skills. Am I blind or is this an oversight?

[desert tree]

You mean Passive Tree ?

[neat canopy]

yes

[desert tree]

P

[neat canopy]

to get back to it I had to level up again.

[desert tree]

?

[neat canopy]

When I got another point, it had the icon to click. then closing passive, there's no way to open that I could find.

[desert tree]

Press P

[dense jay]

with it, a necromancer can cut throat and make sacrifice? thus Ghost Maker

[storm wren]

The dagger is as ridiculous as the frozen light sword

🤔 I can hold them only

[desert tree]

Have you tried "P" ??

Anyone know if this is generic bleed on Hit ? or does Bleed on Bow hit works ?

[neat canopy]

The passive keybind is called 'passive grid' I thought that was something else 'grid' what in the world were they thinking.

So, LBM for both attack and move - not possible? The option to 'move to attack' is NOT the answer.

[desert tree]

Click on the top foot print

[neat canopy]

Nice. Was looking for a pic or something. It's too obvious once you see it... but before it's ?? wth?

[storm wren]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sueCvzsS-U&t=207s
oh this builds sounds very meme indeed lol

I want to know how this build performance on my laptop suddenly

It's like dynamic light pollution lol

Checked out the planner, I lacked idols with chance on hit to summon thorn totems only. Another stuff are fine

[dusk atlas]

So last time I played and found a loot filter base online was 1.2.0.2, should i try and find an updated one, or should it still be good?

[toxic echo]

anything from 1.2.x will be fine

[dusk atlas]

sweet

[lilac socket]

In Imperial Era -> Ruins of Etendell, there used to be a stone golem always right near the waypoint. I can't find it today, am I missing something or did it get removed

ah its divine era, I did screw that up

[dusk violet]

How long do seasons usually last? and were are we currently on that cycle

[thorny terrace]

3-4 months

[dusk violet]

updated my question cause bad grammer lol

[thorny terrace]

Ah, yeah, that helps lol

Season 2 released April 17th, Season 3 August 21st

[dusk atlas]

Weaver stuff was added in 1.2 versions, correct?

or, at least, in Season 2

[toxic echo]

Yes

At least the faction stuff

Some weaver items were before

[dusk atlas]

whelp, noticed too late that the build i'm working on is from 1.0

so need to find a more recent build

[chrome quail]

hello. i am using actionrpg mana guide sorcerorbuild. he has meteor with harbinger of stars on it and a weapon that converts its damage to lightning. problem is, with only a 7% chance to cast, it doesnt come to party often enough in my playthrough. I have 25% crit chance is it that or is there maybe another ability that could synergize well with this build or proc off focus/lightning blast?

[empty badger]

What does 2lp mean? I see it constantly in chat

[chrome quail]

2 legendary potential. it means 2 affixes on an exalted item can be put on a unique item at the end of temporal sanctum dungeon

[proper iron]

Does anyone know if the armor shred stat on Arek's bones stacks with your general armor shred? or if the 2 stats on the mace are entirely seperate

[keen sorrel]

Salutations. I am sorry to bother but I am curious about critical Strike Multipler. I was looking at the in game guide and it doesn't really say how critical strike multiplier is calculated in this game. I did look up some video's and I did hear that 100% crit multi is equal to 100% more damage. I do not know if this information is accurate or not. I also don't know if it is accurate that 100% increased damage is also 100% more damage which is something else I heard about this game. If anyone has time to help, I would appreciate it.

[storm blaze]

100% increased dmg is not same as 100% more
more is a multiplier, increased is additive

[keen sorrel]

Thank you Nub for taking the time out of your day to respond. It is good to know that %increases are additive because I wasn't going to see the point in crit and crit multi. Thank you for that. Do you know how the scaling of Crit Multiplers work by any chances?

[native sail]

Pretty easily, really. Your crit multi starts at 200%, meaning if you crit you take your total damage and double it. Now just convert whatever your total multi is into a decimal. 300%? 3x damage, or triple, whichever is easier to understand. 734%? 7.34x damage. etc etc

[storm blaze]

Don't have time to write much
Just got to work

[keen sorrel]

So, 300% crit multi is triple damage. This is what I am getting from this. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to write this I do appreciate it. Also, 1,000% increased would equal 10% more damage correct?

[native sail]

Increased damage is a bit harder to grasp in relation to how much more damage it will grant overall since it effectively has diminishing returns. If you have say 0% increased and 0% more (these are different stats), then putting the equal amount in either will be exactly the same. But if you have 500% increased and 100% more then putting in % more damage will give you a higher result than % increased damage. Basically you're trying to balance out the damage modifiers to some extent to keep them all giving you good amounts.

[keen sorrel]

I was told that %increases didn't have diminishing returns. I apologize for starting such a deep topic. I have been wanting a chance to get to fight the Uber boss and was told that I would first need to be able to defeat corruption 2,000 while I am pretty stuck at 300 corruption. So I wanted to figure out how I can keep the dps to do the content and get the defenses after. It's been a long journy so far. Extremely confusing and difficult stuff but again I do appreciate you helping me.

[native sail]

It's a confusing situation, really. Getting another 100% increased is going to give you the same amount as the previous 100% increased, yes, but you'll be getting less total damage from just stacking increased as opposed to investing in multiple scaling vectors since a lot of other modifiers multiply the damage after the increased damage is applied.

As for beating Uberroth, it's... not in a great state of balance in my opinion, so while it is a goal to have it is not one that is easily reached; he has more health than some monolith bosses have at 25,000 corruption just for an idea of where it's at.

[keen sorrel]

Yea, I may not understand this game but it wouldn't be the first time. Extremely difficult stuff to get into. I appreciate the help. I wanted to give it one last try before I parted ways for the season. As for the Uber fight you make it sound as if it's almost an impossible fight.

[thorny terrace]

I will say that 2000 corruption for Uber Abberoth isn't really true. I was able to down him without getting to that corruption point.
Now, it is very true that not every build is going to be able to reasonably complete uber.

[grand shoal]

I'd say a char that can do uber, can likely do more then 2k corr

[keen sorrel]

That I do understand. I am going to throw the idea of a Uber boss fight this season in the garbage where it belongs for now. I am going to do what I can and after I am comfortable doing everything I possiby can, than I am going to call it a season. Thank you for all the help.

Just testing things out

Just messed with passives and some skills

Is there anything overly horrible about going this route?

[desert tree]

1st mistake: You don't have a weapon

[cedar locust]

😅 I think they're only asking about the Passive and Skill Tree's or I'd have called out the lack of Resistances

[desert tree]

Joke aside, forget about Void Rifts in Erasing Strike

[cedar locust]

Vlad is the guy to talk to 😁

[desert tree]

They are a Spell and you won't be dealing any significant amount of Spell Dmg

Also those are not good

[thin lily]

Yeah haha Since I don't know the uniques, I just messed with skills and passives to tweak as I go. But the intent is to use a mace

[thin lily]

Oh, I missed the spell tag

[thin lily]

Care to explain, please? I'm still learning

[desert tree]

Retribution is a Physical Melee Attack
Clearly you are going for Void. Having 2 element of dmg is not a good idea.
Also Retribution cost 10 passives pts for smth that doesn't have a skill tree and will offer very limited dmg/utility

You could get much better passives with thoses 10 pts

[thin lily]

Thanks!

That makes sense

[desert tree]

Like Time and Faith

Fearless is great because Vitality is hp and dmg if you are a VK

I am not a fan of Mail Crusher too

12% Inc Dmg per pt is nice but it's far away

I feel like there better passives in VK

For utility skill I can recommand Abyssal Echoes, Anomaly, Symbol of Hope

I know you only have 2 skills slots left 😁

[thin lily]

I was looking for a hybrid of sorts with Void Knight as mastery but with some Forge Guard stuff

but the synergies I could find meant having Forge Guard as mastery and going down the the Iron Blades / Forged Weapons route

[cedar locust]

Well the beauty of Last Epoch is it's quite easy to try out things and respec them if they aren't working or working how you like 😊 You can respec entire Skills, Skill points, Passive points or even your Mastery for a price

[thin lily]

what about Void Essences?

[desert tree]

They are good

They gives More Melee Dmg and More Void Dmg

[thin lily]

maybe I shouldn't spend thaaaaat much time theorycrafting before actually starting the game, right?

[desert tree]

At some point you have to jump in

[grand shoal]

https://tenor.com/view/just-do-it-shia-la-beouf-do-it-gif-4531935

[cedar locust]

Theorycraft while playing! You'll have abetter understanding of mechanics and interactions that way 😊

[thin lily]

hehehe I'll do it then!

[cedar locust]

You're still welcome to ask as many questions as you want in here! There's also #🔱┃sentinel 😁

[thin lily]

Thank you!

Oh, one more thing

For a Crit-focused build, is it better to invest in Merciful or Ruthless?

[icy drift]

You'll need to provide a little more information as to what those are

[thin lily]

oh, sorry

[icy drift]

Ah es

[icy drift]

Merciful is generally better

Even if you go for the no cooldown node, ruthlessness just ends up not being as good as you might think usually

[thin lily]

thanks for the insight

Block chance only occurs with a shield?

and Parry is inherent to weapons?

[icy drift]

Generally yes but not exclusive

You can have block without a shield and you can have parry without a weapon technically

But they are the main source of the respective stats

[jaunty nova]

If I remember correctly in a dev stream Mike once mentioned a kind of sweetspots for the corruption curve which going beyond did not do you much good in terms of drops, but I for the lfie of me can not remember what the value was, if anyone remembers it would be very much appreciated.

[grand shoal]

This may help you hopefully
https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/monolith-scaling

[jaunty nova]

Yes this helped very much indeed, thanks a heap.

[grand shoal]

Probably he was speaking about the 300 and 1000 breakpoints for XP (favor) scaling

[jaunty nova]

Yeah 1k was also where I tended to hover around if my build could handle, but I wanted to make sure I am on the right track.

Which this graph very much confirms going past does not really gain anything all too meaningful anymore in terms of loot.

[icy drift]

The LP scaling curve also tanks after 1000, that's where I'd generally recommend people stay even if their build can go higher. But of course if your build won't slow down at all from going higher then you should

[jaunty nova]

My reasoning is that if you go a good bit higher you tend to have to overinvest, so I much rather invest less in defenses and a bit more damage for smoother clearing and bossing.

[icy drift]

Here's the LP scaling with corruption to visualize it easier, the X axis is corruption, what each line means doesn't matter much (it's the odds of getting each lp), what matters is how fast they go up and down per corruption, and you can see they flatten out quite a bit even after just like 500

the blue one is generally the easiest to look at (it's the chance to get 0 lp)

It's also good to remember that more rarity = more uniques, so this graph doesn't do it total justice

[jaunty nova]

I assume this is without any odds changing things like CoF factored in?

[icy drift]

This example is yes but I can factor all that in

Even with CoF it's pretty much the same story

[storm wren]

the game will help me to reach lv 60 automatically when I reach here?

[grand shoal]

You get some exp, if you did the timeline quests with a different char that shares a stash, yes.
But it is just a fix amount, not a guaranteed level.

[storm wren]

I'm lv 54 after slain Majasa, then become lv 59 after enter monolith area, then reach lv 60 after I stand on fall of the outcast

[jaunty nova]

Is it though? The LP prophecies should alter the curve no? Given from how I understand it it just skips the first LP roll, which drastically should change the odds no?

[storm wren]

Not 100% understand but I'm not sure why I'm done 2 quests and got so much xp.

🤔 I never have treat like that

[grand shoal]

I try it with different words:
If one of your chars has done the monolith quests, a different char that shares the stash, will get XP when travelling to the monolith.
Most likely 2 of the 10 waypoints will trigger some XP for you, at least that is how it worked for me and my friend the last times.

[storm wren]

New auto-level-up service?!

[grand shoal]

It's new with S2

[storm wren]

6 free passive points?! 🤯

Their patch note don't mention that

[faint cape]

No, those just make the 0 LP curve also result in 1 LP. They don't affect chances of 2+ LP.

[storm wren]

🤔 as the patch note mentioned, I need to complete 2 lv 90 monoliths to unlock empowered timeline? let's see

[faint cape]

It's a result of that combined with substantially increased xp from the monolith quests, all are in patch notes somewhere

[grand shoal]

one

The first level 90 will spawn a harbinger

[faint cape]

Technically speaking, those quests are better if you accept them at higher level since they are capped at max 100% of a level per quest or something like that

[jaunty nova]

The 1LP no but the 2 LP and above curve would look drastically different though because you have one less roll that can potentially fail.

[faint cape]

Nope

It still has to pass that roll to have a chance at 2 LP or higher

[storm wren]

how much health as equal as low health? @cedar locust do you know that?

[jaunty nova]

I mean then explain to me why not I like to understand. The LP rolles does one roll that can succed or fail in succession. So not having to ever do the first roll by defintion means that the second roll is more likely to happen because the no LP fails are no longer present.

I am not talking about the individual roll but the ODDs of it happening.

Maybe I am not properly explaining what I am trying to say because I am not a native speaker.

[faint cape]

It still does the first roll, all the prophecy does is give 1 LP if it failed the first roll instead of 0 LP

[jaunty nova]

That is not what Mike said? He said it literally skips the roll. That is what FrozenSentinel said and I trust his word there given he is very rigorous in all kind of math he does for LE.

[icy drift]

It does not bypass the first roll

It basically just says if it rolls 0 lp it becomes 1 lp instead

so you add the 0 lp chance to the 1lp chance

[jaunty nova]

I mean even then it would still mean beceause you can not fail the roll the odds are different, because again the fail rolls for even 1LP are gone?

[icy drift]

2 3 and 4 lp are left unaffected

[jaunty nova]

I mean yeah their own rolls are I understand that

[icy drift]

no the odds of getting 2 3 and 4 lp

are unaffected

[jaunty nova]

again I am speaking of the cumulative odds here, I am sincerely thinking I lack the vocabulary are lacking here to express what I mean.

I am aware that the odds for the individual roll are not affected that would not make any sense.

[icy drift]

If an item has 10% chance of getting 2 lp without the 1 lp minimum it'll have a 10% chance of getting 2 lp with the 1 lp minimum

[jaunty nova]

Yes I am not saying anything otherwise. My point was. If normally it had say for example a 10% chance to not even get any LP on it, and that chance is gone your actual effective chance to get a 2LP is higher because the odds of that happening is now axed from the pool.

Which cumulatively means yo have a higher odd of getting a 2LP

[icy drift]

no

xd

[faint cape]

Mike got it mixed up, there's no effect that bypasses the first LP roll. Closest thing is the double LP chance which doubles success rate of the first roll.

[storm wren]

This doesn’t apply retroactively to existing characters, so you will need to complete them once more for Legacy characters.
what is it mean?

[jaunty nova]

If you have a dice roll of 1 to 100 and you cut out the lowest 20 your individual odds to roll a given value are higher. Now think of LP as a 5 sided dice with 0 to 4, it does not make any intuitive sense to me why that would not affect it.

[icy drift]

If the total odds of getting LP on an item are:

0 lp : 36%
1 lp : 39.68%
2 lp : 19.7%
3 lp : 4.25%
4 lp : 0.37%

and you then use the 1 lp prophecy, the item's odds will now be:

0 lp : 0%
1 lp : 36 + 39.68%
2 lp : 19.7%
3 lp : 4.25%
4 lp : 0.37%

[grand shoal]

It works only for new chars

[icy drift]

so out of 100 uniques 4.25 of them will be 3lp still

no matter the prophecy

[storm wren]

I'm playing legacy characters indeed, I created a new character in legacy, this is bladedancer

[icy drift]

This is not what it does

[jaunty nova]

This does not make sense to me, each failed 0 LP would not be a chance to even roll for 2 LP, so that the odds stay the same makes no sense

I am really trying to understand

[icy drift]

I think this is where the hang up is, if the item rolls 0 lp, it becomes 1 lp but it will NOT keep trying for higher lp, it won't roll for 2lp

[jaunty nova]

Again I get that for each individual roll

[icy drift]

it just goes to 1 and is spat out

[jaunty nova]

I am speaking of CUMULATIVE

[icy drift]

no

even for the cumulative

because the affected items don't ever attempt going higher than 1lp

they just drop as 1lp

[grand shoal]

I guess you are overthinking once again 🙂

Yeah, you made a new char, those get some XP now when first arriving at the monolith. Be happy and move on 😄

[jaunty nova]

eehm what?

[icy drift]

you're thinking that if an item fails the first check, it just pretends it succeeded, this is not what happens

it just drops at 1lp

that's it

[jaunty nova]

Ah okay that explains it then

That was the piece of context I was missing thanks for explaining that.

[icy drift]

yep

this is also why corruption still affects items dropped by the prophecies

if they skipped the first roll corruption would have no effect

since the corruption scaling is on the first roll

[jaunty nova]

Huh I thought corruption scaling was on a per roll basis for all the rolls not just the first, TIL moment

But yeah, thanks for your patience.

[icy drift]

yeah nope, because like you said if one roll has a higher chance of succeeding so will the subsequent rolls, corruption only scales the first roll and the odds kinda trickle down to the latter rolls

[storm wren]

al...alright

[icy drift]

Now you know why people think the 1lp prophecies suck :P

they cost so much more that they're usually worse even for getting a 1 lp of the item you want

since for the cost it'd take to drop 1 of the item you want, you can usually drop enough of them to get at least one with 1lp from the normal prophecies

and for anything higher than 1 lp they're a straight scam

[thin lily]

What's the difference between using a waypoint and opening a portal?

[icy drift]

Nothing really

[thin lily]

and starting from which rarity color is it worth getting items to dismantle them?

since I shouldn't be grabbing them to sell to NPCs

[toxic echo]

item color means nothing for shards. its the tier of the affix that matters

[thin lily]

and how can I know that?

[icy drift]

depending on your settings holding alt or ctrl + alt will show details regarding rolls and tiers for affixes on an item

[thin lily]

okay, so I'll need to learn to look at the affixes and suffixes and determine if they're worth salvaging

[icy drift]

correct

[thin lily]

could you direct me to a guide regarding that matter?

[icy drift]

Not sure there's really a guide for it. If you have a build in mind there'll be stats you'll want for said build, if an item has those stats at a reasonable tier (weighing in how many runes of shattering you have) then you'll want to shatter it, that's all there is to it really. Shattering isn't anything you really have to worry about honestly, just pick up items with useful stats and if they're not useful to equip just shatter them

eventually you'll have so many shards that you've picked up off the ground that you'll stop shattering entirely

there's no need to try and optimise it basically

[faint cape]

We don't think - we know

[icy drift]

Also note that for really valuable affixes (rare ones you don't have lots of but need for your build) you'll want to use runes of removal and not shattering, since when you shatter it gives you a random amount of each affix on an item while a removal refunds the full amount of the affix it removes, though beware not to do it too much since removals are a lot more limited than shattering. you can view affix rarity on this page, the higher the "reroll chance" the rarer the affix

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/affixes

[thin lily]

So basically shattering and affixing is something I should worry about in the endgame after acts?

[icy drift]

It's something you wanna do when you first start crafting , which can be as early as level 1 pretty much. But if you're not crafting then just pick up items and throw them in your stash and worry about it later

When you try to craft something but don't have the shards check your stash for an item with the affix and shatter it

And now you can craft

And eventually you'll just stop shattering altogether because you'll have so much of every shard (except for some really rare ones you'll want to removal)

[faint cape]

I just highlight T4+ rare affixes in my filter to shatter/remove at season start and increase it to T5 fairly quickly, works well enough for me. Maybe super highlight a shard I'm out of and need for crafting.

[thin lily]

as I run through the campaign, I'll try to keep notice of stuff that might be useful and save them to when I start crafting

I just unlocked my second skill specialization but it's not any of those that I planned for. Is it worth specializing in something until I unlock the next skill I planned for my build?

[storm wren]

Never imagine realistic water effect will drop in ritual lake. Well done! This map looks better and better with version updates.

I explored the whole map as the appreciation I gave for their work :)

[faint cape]

It makes no difference, may as well spec something

[thin lily]

but to respec skills you lose a few levels and need to gain experience again, right?

differently from passives, which you respec entirely only spending money

[candid elm]

The Skill level lowers, not your character level. The Skill will level up again as you play. You'll also get an increasing minimum Skill level. Around character level 75-ish you'll have a minimum Skill level of 10 with max level 20 Skills. You can go higher than 20 with +Skill items.

[blazing umbra]

You don't always get a double t7. They're simply more common with imprints. Your filter catches only the imprint procs you've set to appear. You get everything from your imprints, even yellow items you just don't see them

[grand shoal]

Well I'd say that is quite normal, if you don't imprint this since weeks already. Most of the imprints I get from a triple will be doubles, but very rarely it drops as a triple.

The more rare your exalted, the less likely that you get an exact copy.
And otherwise round, if you imprint a single T7 you will see even more hits on the imprint.

[candid elm]

Yes, Skills are free to respec and you can do it anywhere at any time. The Skills will need to be re-leveled some. In the end game it's very quick to do, re-maxing Skills in 1-2 echoes. Passives points can be resoecced in towns with the Brain icon NPC for gold. Mastery respec can be done in End of Time town for gold and the listed cost includes the Mastery change and a complete passive respec.

[faint cape]

Just the skill restarts from its current minimum level, but swapping from one to another is the same as just putting a fresh new skill there

[thin lily]

Thank you all for clarifcation!

Then the lost skill levels on skill respec are no big deal to level up again

As for crafting, since I'm stil in acts/leveling, what's the minimum tier of affixes you recommend I start caring to collect?

[thorny terrace]

It's good to keep in mind that when you combine uniques and exalted in a slam you get one guaranteed affix.
It's good to get your T7 affix on that slot

Sometimes having one really important affix is the thing to aim for, and then gradually work up from there

As you get higher lp, better tiers

[thin lily]

yeah, for some reason I'm feeling a bit lost

like, in PoE, even though the game is more complex and I'm very newbie-ish at it, the crafting (even with dozens of moving parts), seems a bit more straightforward

I may be wrong, of course

but it's just that I'm unsure what I'm supposed to look for

[thorny terrace]

So, if you have a build, you can often consider what you should get based off the tags on the skill

If you have a major core damage skill, something like warpath or erasing strike, if you know there's a lot of void damage scaling. You may just want to craft those affixes as a starter.

[thin lily]

yeah, I'm basically saving items on stash that have Void and Critical, because that's what I based the basics of my build around

I haven't shattered or removed them yet though

[thorny terrace]

For sure, that's the idea. Maybe you get big procs from crit, so we'll want our crit chance to be at a certain level.

There is sort of a hierarchy when it comes to what builds want, but even if you land somewhere in the middle of the hierarchy your build can still do a lot of things competently.

[glossy gate]

what is the normal level to start with the 100 corruption monoliths?

[desert tree]

Anywhere from 70 to 90

[candid elm]

I'm usually around 75-80-ish on the first character of a new Season when I get into Empowered. Alts could be lower

[desert tree]

Depend on your build, your experience

First character or alt

[candid elm]

Yeah, it's also really whatever you're comfortable with. Going into Empowered is recommended as the Corruption gives you increased experience and item rarity. But if you find yourself struggling and need some extra time, that's fine. Have fun playing

[storm wren]

How to decide this problem, should I use double daggers or double swords? These choices are for bladedancer. I'm not sure which direction of aliments should i go too, bleed? Poison? Physical only?

oh I don't figure out why I need creating shadows too. Emmmmmm I can live well without shadows so far

This passive node inspired me to ask for help. Choices are overwhelming...

[faint cape]

What is your build?

[storm wren]

I think my status can't be called a build yet...I even don't replace all rare items with exalted items...

[thorny terrace]

I'm an enjoyer of Odachi mirage

Er, black blade of chaos

Has to be one of my favorite uniques because it fundamentally changes how a skill feels

[candid elm]

Considering you're still leveling, it probably doesn't really matter all that much. Pick whatever you like to use right now. The Two-Handed Sword that Gibbles is mentioning is an end game weapon and I don't think that build takes the Passive you pictured.

[thorny terrace]

Nah, it wouldn't. Fulgurite is kind of cool for that passive though imo, I usually like playing either fulgurite or black blade

I like the look of smoke weaver

I have a tendency to take a unique and work backwards to build

[storm wren]

I will say champion enemies are much more worse than Dread have talked about... Rare items they dropped only so far, even they dropped exalted items, these affixes make no sense too because my mastery don't need them at all. I can get tier 4 champion affix at max... As confusing as imprint system.

Maybe the biggest sense is give me more xp?

[icy drift]

Some of the champion affixes are quite strong but yeah they are fairly niche usually

[thin tinsel]

why am i only getting 1% movement speed with this o.o

[toxic echo]

when channeling warpath, there is a natural negative MS as well

that node basicly evens it out

[thin tinsel]

oh damn didnt use warpath in so long i completley forgot that lol thx

[toxic echo]

think it says the negative MS on the alt text of skill i think.

[thin tinsel]

it does it says 20% less and this node gives 30

[icy drift]

It gives you 20% less movement speed while channeling

Because it's less not reduced

[thin tinsel]

which still kinda doesnt make sense? or is the scaling different

[icy drift]

Less is multiplicative

Increased is additive

[thin tinsel]

why would they do that wtf, doesnt that mean warpath movement penalty hits harder the more speed you have?

[icy drift]

Basically

(1+0.3+other increases to ms) * 0.8

[icy drift]

In a way I guess but that's a weird way to think about it imo

[blazing umbra]

increased will still eventually outpace it but yeah

[icy drift]

There's no pacing

It's linear

[blazing umbra]

more of a "feeling" sense I mean. with enough MS you can still be a beyblade

[icy drift]

Ah yea

Yeah you can be very zoomy, especially if you go void

Vs having to stand still and cast a skill you'll end up as fast if not faster than other skills tbh

[blazing umbra]

I've never fully agreed with the penalty given the absurdity of other things in the game (there's traversal skills that instantly move you a screen away for example)

but I guess it still prevents you from having huge clear speed with little gear

[thin tinsel]

it just feels wrong tbh, 3 skill points to negate this penalty is a lot, im probably just using it for lvling at list for this char but damn...

also its kinda werid, if you only use warpath as a tool for smite proccs you can probably spare the points easily but if warpath IS your main skill you get punished by it which also feels weird?

[icy drift]

This is like saying a skill having a cast time is punishing you and an attack speed node in said skill is weird because it's making up for a downside

It doesn't track for me

Instead of a cast time you move slower, that's it

[thin tinsel]

i mean my judgement aura pala doesnt get a movement penaltly... so why does this? auto bomber void knight also dpesmt get one, minion builds also dont get slowed by their minions

[icy drift]

Your judgement aura paladin has to cast judgement

Devouring orbs needs point investment to auto cast

And even then it's subpar vs manually casting

DPS wise that is

Theres always a tradeoff

Not having to cast anything and channeling are very big upsides in this game

So you have to pay for them somehow

Otherwise the skill is just insane

Would you rather pay with lower DPS? I wouldn't

[thin tinsel]

i get what you are saying and fair points, its hard to 1 to 1 compare skills like that but it still feels kinda weird to me :x i guess if i give warpath as a build a shot sometime i might change my mind

[icy drift]

I promise you can make warpath one of the fastest clearing skills in the game, especially if you go void

Faster than something like erasing strike for sure, because the move speed penalty is way less impactful than having to cast es

Also these exist

[unreal compass]

anyone ever had that bug? it keeps gettinger higher when i kill a nemesis

[icy drift]

Make sure to make a bug report that's a white whale bug pog

[candid elm]

Please use F8 key to submit an in game bug report

[icy drift]

@spare pewter white whale spotting (sorry for the ping got excited )

Interesting that not everything is sky high

[unreal compass]

i dont know what you mean with white whale tho xd

[blazing umbra]

try running warpath while that movement speed lasts

[icy drift]

It's a really old bug they've been hunting for a very long time

It's because of sigils

But reproducing it is seemingly really hard

[unreal compass]

i see

[icy drift]

I guess their fixes are kinda working because only your movement speed is affected

If you go through all the character sheet tabs is anything else super high?

[unreal compass]

no

i am scared of crashing i am at 2000% now xd

cant even dodge

[icy drift]

just relog

it'll fix itself

[unreal compass]

ah its so fun to run to the exit of the cemetery in 10 sec tho 😄
I reported the bug and will relog now ^^

[icy drift]

Oh the move speed actually works? lol that's new, I guess it's not giving nearly as much as it used to

in the past the bug would overflow most of your stats, making you unkillable but also unable to deal damage because everything was in negative values lul

[unreal compass]

lol

yeah i run too fast it went up everytime when i killed elite or higher it seemed

but maybe it was the sigil thing couldnt tell

[icy drift]

interesting lol

[thin tinsel]

im new to voidknight and erasing strike is mentioning void rifts... which dont appear even if i kill dozens of enemies? am i missing something

[icy drift]

you don't really see them

it's just an aoe hit

the ES FX usually cover them up

[thin tinsel]

alright ty, tought something was wrong with with my eyes lol

[slate whale]

is weaver's gift is the only bleed related one-handed sword?

and is it usable

[toxic echo]

Its the only one that says bleed...but nagasa scimitar is for all dot...so it would work too.

Anything is useable with the right affixes and build

[slate whale]

I feel that bleed sucks can't really make it work without billion hits

and most of the skills don't really fit

I can reach at most 550-650 stacks

and it takes like full mana bar, build doesn't have any good uniques

just dumped everything in skill levels just to reach out for good points

using net + puncture on blade dancer

with sync strike to trigger crimson shroud consistantly and get first pump of bleed stacks

should just start over and redo everything

throwing bunch of nets is cool cause you can slow and cc enemies, but teleporting ones don't care and they just get away from nets, targeting on traps is God awful on gamepad

should just stricty use skills that can utilize bunch of hits for DoT like Hail of Arrows

shurikens are too slow compared to caltrops + puncture traps to stack bleed

I don't even know why would you even try to use them, I guess clear is remotely better cause of pierce but solo target will be ass if all fan of shurikens is not used point blank

I could roll my face on keyboard and obliterate everything on Sentinel with 0 fights back using 0lp uniques but blade dancer compared to this feels like I crack my nuts with a hammer trying to force bleed to work without specific setup, bunch of uniqes and it's still gonna be just supplement damage for core skill that HAS to go crit, otherwise you won't deal dmg at all

[thorny terrace]

Fairly accurate tbh

[slate whale]

I just hope they revert nerf for bleed duration from 5 to 4 seconds, damage that endgame characters have to do to push corruption now is too high and damage over time just can't even compete with some sublcasses that specialize on them

chthonic fissure is good build but somehow any other DoT build I've tried is bad

and fissure doesn't even need to get constant casts in to maintain stacks

on the other hand I sink my entire mana bar on skill that costs 8 mana

with over 22 mana regen

and it's with both -4 mana costs ring for throwing attacks

[native sail]

Didn't they up the base damage of it to compensate the duration?

[toxic echo]

There are also TONS of good dot builds

[slate whale]

stacks fall off very fast and you need at least 2 uniques to keep up over 100% inc duration and you're dumping endgame unique slot that you could use for Shattered Worlds just to sit with Valdyr's chalice

[native sail]

I am afraid they're using "Uberroth killer" as stand-in for "good"

[slate whale]

I bet there are tons of good dot builds, why I can't have good bleed blade dancer build, half of the passive tree is filled with bleed and poison passives

[native sail]

You can?

[toxic echo]

The problem i think is BD overall (and its skills). Not bleed/dot itself.

[slate whale]

I just want to find skill combo that wouldn't feel clunky to play around when you're trying to push monos

So far couldn't come up with good bleed combo

[native sail]

I mean, you know my take on the state of the game already. The insane amounts of powercreep in very little time has completely warped the perception of what is good and what isn't, and is exacerbated by a lot of content creators and/or sites that push very little that isn't hard meta.

[slate whale]

Who are those content creators

🥹

[native sail]

Like.... all of them that aren't Dr3adful

Or Aaron, but his skill level is... dubious.

[slate whale]

I've not watched anything besides Raxx'es guide on tabs and loot filter to sort things out

[hallow yarrow]

So I log onto discord and see that I have a direct reply to me. So I click on the server and then ask the community only to be thrown into the mix of 50+ messages never knowing what someone said to me or who. I dont like that. I think that if someone replied to you then when you click on the server it should bring you directly to that reply. So I got nothing nor do I know what somebody replied to me. I'm going to order a pizza and have a beer.

[slate whale]

Game very streamlined for experiments and it doeasn't take much time to try for yourself build concept just by playing

[native sail]

Go find the little notification/inbox button on your client

[toxic echo]

I agree to a point. I think the mass perception is definately not what the reality is. The overall balance is getting better and the spread is getting smaller. I would like to see the old/out of date skills and classes brought up faster than currently being done tho.

[native sail]

I definitely don't agree that the spread is getting better, we literally have top end builds doing 10x more damage than the next highest equivalent for a fraction of the investment

[toxic echo]

The bottom is a lot closer to doing all content

[marsh maple]

if you ignore uber abberoth the diversity of builds actually able to do like endgame content (like I call 1k+c and abberoth endgame currently personally) has risen significantly

even with all of the power creep on the enemie's side, mainly because they keep giving us broken ways of getting items and such

it has been easier than ever to get a floor of gear going

its just people don't explore, they follow

[native sail]

I'm an extreme outlier as a whole due to my personal belief that uncapped corruption shouldn't exist, so people don't really tend to agree with me

[marsh maple]

like today all it took was one person to mention to me that Burning Daggers might be viable because of the new idols, and it didn't take long to get a working prototype going

and bam immediately a good enough build

I think uncapped corruption is fine if reward scaling stopped at 1k

then you can push for fun

its fun to keep playing the same build and upgrading it over the period of time but its not fun when it becomes the norm to push past 1k religiously

at this point all of the failing points of build diversity fall plainly on skill trees being wack

like if a build is bad, odds are its the skill tree being pepega somewhere

we have the gear investment to make things work now, now we are just waiting for skills to get properly normalized into the ecosystem

[toxic echo]

Idk if we will ever see top end builds in any arpg not pop off on some level. There are just way too many variables for any amount of testers...there is always some untested combo that gets thru, even in poe and such. As long as the bottom end stays up the power curves and can do most if not all content, i think balance is good enough.

And again, I do wish the older passive and skill trees got refreshed faster. BD been waiting for like 2 years

[marsh maple]

I mean a lot of it are numbers based

[toxic echo]

Never going to get rid of herd mentality and gotta play the popular build

[marsh maple]

like flurry's tree is fine

but its damage effectiveness needs to go up

LE has a lot of cool and interesting skill trees that are bogged down by terrible damage effectiveness's

or lack of ailment scaling, usually the aformentioned damage effectiveness not working with ailments

[toxic echo]

Ya, just wish itd come around quicker, is all.

[marsh maple]

like a good example, volatile reversal has an interesting tree but its a 4 second CD base ability with 200% added damage effectiveness that you can use twice every 4 seconds without investment

if it was an 800% damage effectiveness skill

maybe it could be usable?

like theres always a number where these things start working

dancing strikes another good example

at 200-300% added damage effectiveness, and some scaling for ailments on its tree, all of a sudden its not a meme or only used to fuel shadow generation

if something has enough damage, you can start clicking on the fun an interesting nodes

like theres a node in Flurry that gives you a lot of health on crit based on your dex

that would be an amazing node if all of my skill points didn't need to be dedicated towards damage every single time

[slate whale]

why not dmg inc

that would make sense to invest in dex and get over poor dmg of skill

that's the issue

some of the nodes are just nieche utility that doesn't find it's place cause other options are strictly better

for the most part build enabling uniques can carry out entire build on their own cause they just have good stats

and it doesn't matter really how bad lethal mirage on it's own when you can stack ligtning pen through the roof and get bunch of flat damage

with no cooldown

most uniques that rogue gets either completely boost skill through the roof or don't do anything

they're both good, but having crit on only 3rd hit

when you have 13% flat crit from a single offhand dagger

why

and then you look at non-build specific unique like this

and stats are better than specific ones

with 0 wither mods

cause flat damage is 57 instead of 22

and the choice is not that big so what would you prefer to take, sword with random flexible stats that could fit your build anyways or build specific sword that is stricly worse

and then you look at black blade, also build specific unique

how is it even close to something else, just as a stat stick it beats average choice

but that's the only melee weapon from harbingers that rogue has for build specific purposes

can sentinel use every weapon from harbingers and benefit from void conversion on almost every skill? yes

can other classes use those weapons as a stat stick for build? yes sure, it won't be optimal, like you can stack dex on mage and try to just utilize pen and shock from blade but you won't use any other affixes on weapon and only choise is to customize your own suboptimal unique

none of the general pool uniques really can push those numbers, I get it, pinnacle bosses should drop better loot but how so many classes are left out without void conversion to use it

cool uniques are all left for someone who can use void damage from tree

I don't even want to bring up world splitter fixing clear with aoe, mana sustain, crit, crit multi, flat damage

[hollow oriole]

Is DLSS coming at any point? I have a 3080 with relative cpu and ram. I want to run it at 120 fps, but my temps hit around 81 to 84.

Mana here is almost lowest stat, and Armor Shred is almost highest.

[stable oyster]

amount of shards you have in your stash

how's the controller support in this game?

Just bought this game started a rogue character, planning to do bladedancer mastery

[toxic echo]

its good enough to play. there are still some minor annoyances to address but its quite playable

mostly just some skills are hard to target just cuz of controller...hard to get around that

[storm wren]

Oh bladedancer fellow 👋

Issues of controller support doesn't relevant to special masteries, you're fine

[supple coral]

yep I love nightblade in grim dawn

[storm wren]

Nothing I like the most in a ARPG on characters

Still under explore-everything status

Thanks just saw this now! yeah roughly getting 130ish atm on dummys takes a bit, thought having 600ish with 200% effect might be higher but might change weapons later if i can find this damn axe in 2/3 lp, ever lol

[desert tree]

130 stacks is roughly 80% More Phys Dmg and 50% More non phys dmg
Getting 600 stacks with 200%effect is reaching the cap of 85% More Phys Dmg

It's really not worth getting that much

It's going to requires an insane investment for very little extra result

What's the official noob stopping point? 1k hours?

I've got a ways to go

there's people with 2k plus so I still feel like a baby

I suppose it's all relative lol

[candid elm]

I dunno, I have over 2k in PoE and still feel like a noob

[blazing umbra]

Understandable

[thorny terrace]

I feel in the scope of all the different kinds of masteries/classes there's a lot I'm unfamiliar with

[candid elm]

There's a lot of options!

[thorny terrace]

For sure

And class diversity is fairly strong

[storm wren]

oh wow, then I need to think how to spec dancing strikes, shift and smoke bomb carefully...

[desert tree]

I love how SD has uniform icon throughout all skills

[blazing umbra]

we still need new icons eventually

those need a makeover

so many icon overlaps in game currently

sentinel has a lot too iirc

[faint cape]

They have added new icons here and there, done a few batches

For SD it makes sense, that is its debuff icon after all. But sharing the shadow cascade icon is not ideal

[dusk atlas]

What's the min level needed to be taken to the observatory or bazaar?

[toxic echo]

1. You can get a port at anytime from anyone

Or if its an alt...you just play 3 minutes and get to the first town and boom...you have the waypoint

[dusk atlas]

so i presume that means you have to have gotten there on a prior character, correct?

[faint cape]

Yes, one that shares a stash with your new char

Technically speaking, your faction is stored in the stash... it's bigger on the inside

[dusk atlas]

yeah, i have yet to successfully make it to there on a HC character

XD keep dying shortly into Maljeek (think that's the right spelling

[faint cape]

It does get quite dangerous in act 9, for sure!

[dusk atlas]

i was way off, Maj'elka

shortly after meeting the Oracle

[faint cape]

Oh, that's the ruins of what used to be Maj'elka, basically, in act 6

The enemies there can do big physical or necrotic hits

[toxic echo]

The psn and bleed is no joke in a6

Stupid scorpions

[dusk atlas]

when do you normally unlock the bazaar and observatory?

[faint cape]

Oh yeah, that too

[faint cape]

Near the start of act 9, after Lagon - which if you aren't used to him from playing SC might be a rough deal learning on HC

[dusk atlas]

ah, yeah, i think i've only got one character on SC past him and to the observatory, shortly after i started trying to get progress on HC

[faint cape]

Some experience goes a long way then, he's a really mechanical fight

[dusk atlas]

Lagon is the kraken dude, right?

[faint cape]

Exactly, yeah

[dusk atlas]

yeah, i recall dying a few times on my SC character

also, should i use a leveling guide for HC and then switch to a build, or should i just kind of aim for the build as i go?

[faint cape]

I think that's up to personal preference, a leveling guide might get you there easier, but for me just playing the build I want to play is more fun

[dusk atlas]

fair, and that's what i've been doing with all of my characters so far XD

speaking of characters, would it be possible to get a piggyback to the observatory for my HC character?

[faint cape]

I could probably help you in about 2.5 weeks, if you still need it 😅

[iron gulch]

I forgot is there a method to reroll unique affix mods rn? Like destroy 3 uniques, make 1 unique? I see a lot of uniques in merchant guild that I want but the rolls are terrible.

[median zenith]

Gauntlet of Strife woven echo - can sacrifice 1 unique to reroll another of the same type
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/IIzAMHZQrSA

[faint cape]

Gauntlet of strife woven echo lets you sacrifice a copy of the unique you want to reroll, needs to be equal or greater "potential tier"

[proper iron]

Bo's anarchy that says shurikens can ricochet, that does not apply to chakrams correct? 🙂

[toxic echo]

It does not

[hollow oriole]

Are they intending to add a campaign skipping at any point. Sort of want to unlock idols on secondary characters, but debating playing without them to save the time.

[toxic echo]

Devs arent intetested in a 100% campaign skip. They are adding more ways to skip parts of the 2 hr campaign on alts...passives and idols from dungeons skips, more skips in the future.

[hollow oriole]

I don't mind doing the campaign..but repeatedly doing it for alts suck at times.

[iron gulch]

Uncapped res is important for res shred and poison stacks right?

[faint cape]

It protects against various resist reductions like that, but generally it's not important. Main reason to overcap is for effects that scale off your uncapped or overcapped resists like null portent.

[dusk atlas]

i must be doing something wrong, definitely takes me longer than 2 hours to do the campaign

[faint cape]

If you do the campaign straight all the way through without doing any of the skips, it will take significantly longer than 2 hours. 2 hours sounds pretty optimized, I'd say maybe 4-6 hours sounds more typical for alts? Never actually timed it myself though lol.

[dusk atlas]

I don't think I've had a character actually live long enough to get the keys for the skips

[faint cape]

Oh yeah, and you're playing HC where you'd probably want to be more careful

[iron gulch]

If I use damage conversions, like orian's eye, that means the subsequent converted damage isn't influenced by it's former shred damage type right? Like for orian's eye: void res shred doesn't influence the converted void damage.

Or more specifically if I use orian's eye. Aberroth's time rot doesn't effect "void damage" anymore since void damage is fire damage now.

[proper iron]

@toxic echo do you know if the flip a coin node (throw extra shurikens) works with chakrams? (also fan of blades)

[faint cape]

Correct, if you convert all void damage taken to fire damage, it's defended against as if it is just pure fire damage

(Although, unlike regular fire damage, it just can't get converted again by "fire damage taken as" effects)

[faint cape]

They both scale Keen Throw, the node behind Chakram, they don't let you throw more chakrams though

[proper iron]

@faint cape ooosh thanks bro, appreciate it

[proper iron]

What are the red numbers I'm suddenly seeing when I'm shooting mobs? is that a blocked hit or reduced hit or something?

[desert tree]

Any chance you can record?

Could it be you taking dmg?

[proper iron]

nah its appearing over the mobs, like 2-3k a time, weird im maxed crit on chakrams doing story level 30ish" so my 50k crits are easy to see ill try get a pic

[desert tree]

Vidéo might be easier

[proper iron]

yeah you'd think but i got one haha

sec

oh it appears red under "block" ive never seen before ill dm

[desert tree]

Feel like @icy drift might know

[icy drift]

Tbf they did change how the damage numbers look

Looks like they're red because of block to me

[desert tree]

Yup, but that mob doesn't have block

Do they?

[icy drift]

The arbalests?

Or which mob is that

Yeah shouldn't have block

[proper iron]

theyre just random skele mobs with shields in maljeka

where you go down the ladder

[icy drift]

Oh

[desert tree]

Ah

[icy drift]

Uhh let me see if I can find them

[proper iron]

not a bad block though i mean 50k crits down to 2k lol i'd take that haha

[desert tree]

Yeah so that would be blocked dmg in red

[icy drift]

There you go yea

[proper iron]

yeah it just threw me as I'd never seen that before maybe its part of the unity?

i mean I've run the campaign a loooooottttttt i prefer to run it than respec lol

[desert tree]

The font changed yeah

[icy drift]

They updated the way the damage numbers look

[proper iron]

I like it now I know it's not going to kill me

[desert tree]

95% less dmg taken 😅

[icy drift]

It do be like that

They're hacking

[desert tree]

But the shield break iirc

[proper iron]

gimme that stat please my rogue is paper lol

[icy drift]

We can only get to 85%

[proper iron]

Also apologies I legit thought I had sent this direct to vlad I've only just noticed I'm in main chan now haha FML time for dinner I reckon (nevermind i did and then we came back here i'm so lost)

[hallow yarrow]

So I tried D4 season 9. I must say it makes me really appreciate LE a way better game on so many levels. I don't even know where to begin on how crappy D4 really is.

[desert tree]

Start by saying what you love in LE and spread the love, not hate

[hallow yarrow]

Agreed. What I love about LE is the crafting the freedom to do what you want. No restrictions on you as a player to do what you want. The ease of finding items. I only miss the social part of D4. I want to find new friends to game with. Make new friends and play together. Talk to new people and be happy gaming together. I had that in D4.

[desert tree]

Talk to people? Ewww

What's next? Go outside and touch some grass?

[hallow yarrow]

I'm very social. I like to talk to people from all around the world.

[desert tree]

spicorr understands me

Gotta grind thoses 4lp red rings

Just in case, I am joking

[hallow yarrow]

Ohh I'm grinding. I dont know if you remember me. You help me get past a difficult spot in the game. I am greatful to you. Now I changed toons and learned a lot more. Doing well. I am a Warpath Void Knight now and I decimate my enemies.

I'm going to go back to grinding @desert tree and I want to go into the 100 area but I dont know if I can do it. I am a 72 now. If you want to chat and game with me I would appreciate that very much.

[desert tree]

Chat yes
Play no
It doesn't look like it but I am at work rn 😅

Unless you are in hardcore, there is no penalty for dying, so go try empowered

[smoky zealot]

Looking up builds and reading through the discord / forums is my favourite activity at work

[hallow yarrow]

Perhaps another time then. When you are free from work. I'll check in another time and get back to grinding the level 58 area. Which BTW at level 72 nothing survives.

[signal current]

Hey guys I notice that my hp has been gradually decreasing and halves to its max value ever since I enter heoborea

Is this a bug? Im genuinely confused

[grand shoal]

You have more ward then you had before? 🤔

[signal current]

Not too sure

How much is too much tho

Ahhh found the problem

It was the experimental gloves lol

4% of missing health gained as ward per second

[grand shoal]

I was thinking if you switched Body, Boots or gloves lately and have a "ward per missing health" stat

[signal current]

Thanks

Yeahhh

[grand shoal]

👍

[signal current]

Thanks lad

[dense jay]

Vlad is a great senpai to look up to, until he starts impaling

[storm blaze]

after that even greater

[dusk atlas]

He gets to the point fairly quickly, huh?

[desert tree]

Only in days that end in Day

[native sail]

Thanks gods it's Jueves

[desert tree]

What are the names of the days in Eterra?

[smoky zealot]

No loot day
Zero loot day

Thats the weekend

[grand shoal]

The human friday was "Loot-for-a-different-build-day", right?

[median delta]

would this be a worthwhile buy for someone who is completely unacquainted with the genre? heard people saying it's a good middle ground, and now that the sale is here i'm debating it

for a little more context, my favorite things in games is enough loot and gear variety to give you a headache, also some good knightly fashion, with tons of options

[cedar locust]

As someone who played and enjoyed Titan Quest and Torch Light, but was put off by PoE and Diablo, LE re-ignited my interested in ARPGs!

There's plenty of loot, variety within that loot, crafting options and ways to build out your skills!

[median delta]

thank you for the answer. how is the endgame? I really like buildcrafting, especially when it gets minmaxed and complicated later on

[grand shoal]

There's plenty options for different crafting stuff in endgame and the difficulty scales endless. Also the gear can be minmaxed quite endlessly depending on your goals and the time you are willing to invest.

You will only see if you like the game if you test it - but I feel there's not much that can go wrong for around ~30 bucks of investment

[bright ether]

hmm i think LE is pretty good on the loot except for a few areas...e.g. how niche and weak the sets are, and how end game builds mostly revolve around powerful legendaries. i think the build balancing could be a lot better as well.

[cedar locust]

Like Volin said, the best way to know is to play. Two of the main 'draws' of LE are that you can just muck about without ever following a guide and make it all the way through the content just learning by yourself, and by asking questions THEN, given that difficulty, or Corruption, can scale endlessly - you can start to refine your build and squeeze out every little bit of damage/defense until it's completely min/max with or without the help of guides

[median delta]

Cool, thanks

[cedar locust]

There's also a TON of resources to help with gameplay decisions and information. Just check the pinned comments for this channel if you want to have a look 😊

👀 @blazing umbra

[blazing umbra]

This is season or legacy?

[storm wren]

🤔 I‘m surprised my marksman conquered more echoes than shaman lol

All of them are legacy

[blazing umbra]

That necromancer should probably be able to destroy normal aberroth

Try to use abomination

[storm wren]

necromancer/sorcerer/warlock should have this ability because they're lv 100. Shaman is lv 98, marksman is lv 97, still under development.

[grand shoal]

500-700 timelines could already be a lvl 100 or very high 90s - all of them could probably beat Abby if you focus on one of them, get it straight and practice

[blazing umbra]

I'd be shocked if a Necro with 2k echoes completed can't blow normal out of existence

Probably needs a little finetuning

[storm wren]

I messed up my runemaster so lv 96 and 287 echoes are conquered only

First time to notice the info like that by the way, thanks for the reminder

None of my characters have completed 20 monoliths... That's odd

[blazing umbra]

Nobody does that really

You just rush to empowered

[random talon]

can anyone help me with uber ive died at least 50x

[storm wren]

It don't make sense because necromancer is the only character which have been max level within a season and as you see, all monoliths have corresponding corruption

[blazing umbra]

you're missing the normal monos like I said

[grand shoal]

Not sure if I can carry him, but I would like to try if you are EUW

[random talon]

no but its fine

username?

@grand shoal

[blazing umbra]

I can come too if you want

[random talon]

sure

[grand shoal]

Volin

I relog

[blazing umbra]

invite Blasdrimal as well

(but join our map becuase the ping will murder us)

[random talon]

i will switch my server one sec

[grand shoal]

re-invite please

[random talon]

otw one sec

thanks guys i really appreciate it

[blazing umbra]

no problem I'm just chilling anyway

[storm wren]

🤔 I mean my necromancer is 100% from 1.0. No rush mechanic while 1.0 and this is the first character I played so I must played all monoliths even in normal timelines

[blazing umbra]

I'm there feel free to invite when ready

[random talon]

i invited

[slate whale]

if I add throwing tag to shadow cascade through dagger dance, does added flat throwing or increase works on the main hit or just throwing part?

[faint cape]

Only the throwing part scales with throwing stats. -mana cost for throwing attacks applies to the skill as a whole, though.

[vital tapir]

How do you tell what tier an arena is?

[candid elm]

The arena entrance is located in Champion's Rest, Divine Era, West of Heoborea. Right click on an Arena key to have the map zoom straight there. When you click on the large arena circle where you put in the Arena key it'll ask you to select the tier - similar to the Dungeons - but Arena has 1 through 4 and also Endless.

[vital tapir]

Ohhhhhhh I was thinking it was the Arena echoes in the monolith. That makes sense, thank you!

[candid elm]

So you'd select Tier 4 when you start it. I believe you need to complete the earlier tiers first

[candid elm]

Note that there are 3 random bosses in Arena and you don't know which you're going to get. I personally either skip these or use a Lens like Focusing Lens of Time to remove Arenas from the Prophecies, as I don't want to have to sit through 30 waves, do the boss, and it not be the one for the Prophecy.

But if you enjoy Arena and/or want to farm those bosses, go ahead!

[vital tapir]

Yeah, good point. Had I known this before I got those prophecies....haha

[smoky zealot]

Do I find class specific idols only for the class im playing or it doesnt matter?

[candid elm]

There is weighting to the class things like Helmet, Body Armor, and Relics, but there is either less or no weighting for the class idols. You get a lot of idols for other classes. I just try to get my filter setup to highlight the ones I need - including any Alts I want to play - and hide the rest

[smoky zealot]

Yeah I havent done that so far, but i need a very specific one for a primalist build i want to play and mainly playing mage atm

you reckon its worth just doing prophecies on my mage for it then? 😄

[faint cape]

I think only idol prophecies have that issue, normal idol drops are class weighted

[candid elm]

Ah ok, that would explain it

[faint cape]

So yes, you can do it fine on mage if you go through prophecies

[candid elm]

If you're doing Prophecies, sure

[smoky zealot]

Ah great, thanks guys ❤️

[candid elm]

Is it a Chance on hit to summon a Thorn Totem ornate idol? If it makes you feel any better, I had pretty good luck finding those

Just kept rolling ornate totem prophecies

[undone rose]

Best way to get multi-exalts is just spam the nemesis tower? And if it doesn't get an item that I want, I just banish?

[vital tapir]

Are the diff timelines in the monolith randomly generated or is there layout always the same? For example, if I wanted to farm relics in The Last Ruin, would they always be in the same place or is it RNG?

Echoes with relic rewards, I mean

[grand shoal]

Absolutely random

[vital tapir]

Ok that's what I thought, but I just wanted confirmation 🙂

[blazing umbra]

don't try to farm loot via echo rewards

focus on prophecies and imprints

[vital tapir]

I'm trying to farm Diothaen's Bloody Nib for my spellblade. A build guide on maxroll said relic rewards in the last ruin was the way to get it. But I'm new, so I dunno lol

[grand shoal]

I said it so often and say it again: Curse Maxroll for that bs....

[grand shoal]

You choose MG or CoF?

[vital tapir]

CoF

[grand shoal]

So what George said! 😄

[vital tapir]

Will do!

[grand shoal]

You really don't want to target farm a unique via echo rewards, that would be pain

[vital tapir]

Good to know lol

[blazing umbra]

Uber is there to steer our attention away from the true final boss

An AOE retaliation attack with no cool down? Yeah everyone hates these guys lul

[worthy jacinth]

hey where to post about a bug? I keep getting random unity crashes

[desert tree]

F8 in game or #1210281997591908452

[dusk atlas]

is the Observatory/Bazaar really the only waypoints i want to keep open on characters? and as long as I have at least one character alive on that setting (HC or SC) then all characters on that setting will have those two waypoints?

[icy drift]

No, once you unlock either faction on your first character on a stash all subsequent characters can choose a faction at the first town in act 1

Not sure what you mean by keeping a waypoint open

[dusk atlas]

wasn't sure if i had to go to the observatory again on a new character

wasn't sure how the faction thing worked in it's entirety

only keep one SC character and hadn't had a HC character make it to the observatory/bazaar yet

[icy drift]

Yeah on subsequent characters you get to choose faction at the first town. As long as you have a character that shares stash with them that's already selected a faction

[dusk atlas]

neat

so i didn't need to make a second character to keep the option open

[icy drift]

I think the answer is no but honestly I don't understand the question sorry lol

[faint cape]

Sometimes HC has had bugs that cause you to lose shared progress if the char you made the progress on dies

But it should be permanent for that stash once you get it

[dusk atlas]

wasn't sure if i could still pick a faction if i only had the one who had and they died and i made a new character

so made a second character to pick a faction and stay in the background so that i will always have a living HC character that made the choice

[icy drift]

Sounds like in hardcore that might cause issues from what father toast just said, so yeah maybe make a second character, go to the first town and select a faction so if your main character dies your progress stays

Since the alt will have it

[faint cape]

You should still be able to, but doesn't hurt to try and be safe

[icy drift]

Yeah I hadn't heard of that bug

Would suck for sure

[faint cape]

I think that kind of bug has historically been more related to Forgotten Knights progress resetting and blessings discovered on other chars disappearing

[dusk atlas]

so yeah, i had done that, but before doing so, i thought i had to travel to the observatory/bazaar again to make the choice, hence why i was calling it a waypoint

[icy drift]

Nah there'll be an npc at the first town you can select faction from

[faint cape]

They made a few attempts to fix it, hopefully all good now, but I don't know actually lol

[icy drift]

Your characters can't share waypoints between each other

[faint cape]

Yeah, Bazaar/Observatory are just special in that once your char has their faction picked, they just get those unlocked

[dusk atlas]

yee, see that now XD

never played a second character on either setting that had a faction, so wasn't sure how it worked

[shy turret]

before 1.2 came out, i had all my 1.0 and 1.1 characters returned to legacy, which is normal right. then i made a new legacy character so i could use all the gear from 1.0 and 1.1, but i was unable to join cof at the first town. the npcs weren't there. i had to manually go to act 9 to join, so i could use all stash gear but nothing cof tagged until act9. everything else transferred across, all the favor and everything when i joined cof at act 9. the next new legacy character i made had access to the npcs at the first town.

[icy drift]

Did you transfer your stash before or after you did that

Since I'm pretty sure faction progress also only gets transferred once you transfer the stash

[shy turret]

trying to remember but i think yeah i transferred before, coz i was able to use all of my 1.0 and 1.1 stash, but nothing cof tagged. if i didnt transfer it before, none of that would have been visible right.

[icy drift]

Correct. Sounds like a bug if it really didn't let you choose in the first town after the stash was transferred

[faint cape]

Yeah, I don't think the quest step that says you've unlocked factions transfers with your stash/season stuff

Probably same thing applies for the new shared regular timeline completion

[opaque token]

How do you get empowered mono's on alt again? I connected all the bridges and completed a boss but still nothing

[faint cape]

Just complete one of the level 90 timeline bosses, it should spawn a harbinger and you kill that and you're good to go

[opaque token]

Ah, thank you

[supple mantle]

So.... I still see these white block icons. Will 2025 be the year these get fixed? 🙂

[toxic echo]

They have been fixed about 5 times now, just keeps breaking. Wierd part is its not broken for everyone (mine are fine). Just keep reporting it using f8

[dusk atlas]

so glad i got the faction this early, only level 24 and already faction level 3

oddly, haven't gotten many faction tagged items, could've sworn they dropped more frequentl

[faint cape]

Items only drop CoF-tagged when one of your faction bonuses created or modified it, so you'll see that more often the more you level up the faction

[dusk atlas]

yeah, forgot my loot filter had that incorporated into it, kept forgetting why gear was dropping certain colors XD

[hallow yarrow]

Ok I'm confused and need help. I have this old quest that I've never been able to complete. Its "Find Artem's Stash" that supposed to be in the upper district. I have exposed the entire map looking for the door but there is a barrier blocking the way. Its like some sort of weird barrier. I think to get the barrier down it has something to do with the forge next to it but I have no idea what to do. I can see the door on the map overlay. Help please.

[faint cape]

If you teleport to the upper district, just go directly rightward from the waypoint, it's just a little interaction with the wall at the end of that hall

[storm wren]

oh sorry wrong node, it's correct now

[grand shoal]

It is rather the Storm Totem, that stuns via its damage tho

[novel lotus]

You need a sufficient amount of damage for % increased stun to take effect

[grand shoal]

Yeah, she has a bugging Heorot, from what she describes it is stun related.
And seeing Storm Totem I'm not too surprised

[novel lotus]

If your damage per hit is too small, nothing will happen

[storm wren]

I have good gift of picking the most difficult build to play

[icy drift]

Depends, you can technically stun even if your hit does 1 damage. The 5% of max HP isn't pre stun chance

[grand shoal]

Storm Totem isn't a difficult build tho

[icy drift]

As in if something has 1000 hp, you hit for 25, but have 100% inc stun chance your effective hit for stun is 50, which is 5% of Max hp and thus can stun

[storm wren]

I mean a build for grinding harbingers

[grand shoal]

It just does a lot dmg and some low-mid corr Bosses will be interrupted with stuns, but continue to do the interrupted skill, while doing already new ones

[grand shoal]

Try a few times, perhaps you were just unlucky.
In the worst case try to increase, or to lower your corruption.
If you increase, you will do less stuns. If you lower it, you will have an easier fight if he does multiple skills at once

[storm wren]

I will lose 3 collasping horizon then unfortunately

[grand shoal]

Then do them first?

Btw iirc the Collapsing Horizon Harbinger is more difficult, then a naturally spawned Harbinger on the same corruption

[storm wren]

Nothing difficult if I can't stun enemies lol

[grand shoal]

I'm certain for Fading Brink, but think that also goes for Collapsing Horizon

[storm wren]

never know stun can be a debuff

[grand shoal]

It is not

More like a bug in this case

[desert tree]

It's a debug 😏😏

[novel lotus]

I see it working effectively; if it doesn't stun the enemy, it's stunning you

[dense jay]

[icy drift]

Over 10 000

Prob somewhere closer to 20 000

Maybe even more. I have no idea

[primal kestrel]

Wow, thats insane!

[hallow yarrow]

Wow Thanks. That worked. I could not teleport there because I did not have that waypoint but I walked there and completed the quest. Thank you that was awesome.

[storm wren]

sorry to say none of my builds can do that.

I'm too casual, alright... 100x more casual than you

[dense jay]

I am not that hardcore 🥲

[storm wren]

You did it so well 🫂 You're better than me a lot!

[storm blaze]

lol

[cedar locust]

To my knowledge, this is fixed. As in this particular bug is my White Whale and I take time to check IGBRs periodically to make sure it hasn't returned (for any Faction) 😊

Why Eterra's Blessing?

I will be level 101 and still havent complete slamming my gear

[storm wren]

health regan isn't enough I need that to heal myself

[dense jay]

Kinda odd you still need t5 resist on your exalts while already using resist idols

Also void and phy resist blessings

Did you not get enough resist from implicits and passives?

[grand shoal]

Warcry may be a better idea, as it also buffs your stuff a lot. But I'm not deep enough into the build anymore to be of assist here. But I feel there is a lot room for optimization.

One of the best ones I've ever screen capped was yesterday and it's sadly not appropriate for the server 😭 it had me laughing hysterically

[fallow ibex]

question im kind of scared to get answered can items drop with more then 1 tier 6-7 affix

[toxic echo]

yes

[fallow geyser]

🦅

[fallow ibex]

i dont know what scares me more the doppleganger or the answer

[grand shoal]

😄

[toxic echo]

i was here first, its mine 😛

1-2 you can 'expect'. getting a 3-4 exalt with useable affixes is very rare

dont plan on it at all

[fallow ibex]

i was just curious if it was possible i feel like finding ONE is basically a shiny with useable affixes i should probs buy a lottery ticket

[storm blaze]

I've seen 1 triple 6 2h axe
it was terrible rolls

[toxic echo]

i've had one useable triple on a ring.

[storm blaze]

But I also once got a mace with tier 6 %increased phys and flat phys

[toxic echo]

weapons are very hard to get multi exalts on, cuz its so build specific

[fallow ibex]

i technically had the name first but not in this server

The winner gets a falcon skin

And is therefore forced to play falconer

i resign i like my beastmaster primalist build

[blazing umbra]

You can snapshot the name in typical beastmaster fashion

Storm Eagle build

[fallow ibex]

can you explain i dont know much about the community

[blazing umbra]

It's a meme. Minion builds in the endgame summon their minions with a set that buffs the minions' tankiness, and then swap into their DPS gear which applies the damage to the skills rather than the minions themselves

So basically to minmax minion builds you need two gear loadouts

[fallow ibex]

oh wtf i made my build myself and its a bleed build on minions

no weird statbuffing myself either

[blazing umbra]

Yeah I was just joking around don't worry

[fallow ibex]

that is so wild

im genuinely just like how does that build work

[blazing umbra]

Snapshotting is an undesired byproduct of the current code structure. The code allows it because that's what it's "supposed to do" but it's not an interaction they like and aim to change as soon as possible

Minion builds shouldn't need two sets of gear to compete

[fallow ibex]

so what your saying is minion builds are getting buffed nxt season?

[blazing umbra]

The change won't be making it to season 3 mike said

[fallow ibex]

which makes me happy because minion builds are my favorite builds

oh ok

[blazing umbra]

But I don't know if you can call it a buff or a nerf since a minmaxed minion build with two separate jacked up sets, especially for storm crows allows for some sick performance on bosses

It will definitely be less painful to build

[fallow ibex]

meh either way i think ill still play a necromancer next season

[storm wren]

@cedar locust maybe know

[kind bramble]

.

[kind bramble]

im not sure why but it checked off that i completed reign of dragons but didnt update the quest log

[cedar locust]

When you say 'fought him with the key' what do you mean?

[faint cape]

How many timelines do you have left now?

[kind bramble]

3

[kind bramble]

the eye thingy

the box at the bottom

[faint cape]

Then your quest log is up to date

You only needed 225 for the one you just did

[cedar locust]

You have 'The Last Ruin', 'The Age of Winter' and 'Spirits of Fire' left now 🙂

[kind bramble]

maybe im crazy but i swear it said 250

[faint cape]

It might've, and that would be a bug if so

At least it's all good now

[kind bramble]

yep

[fallow ibex]

i wonder if seal the skittering gate (its green) is a reference to the skittergate from vermintide 2 probs not but the devs have some obscure references so who knows

[cedar locust]

I can ask 😁

[fallow ibex]

i think i read sacrificial wrong dyslexia goes hard sometimes

[cedar locust]

There is a Skittering Gate objective! 🙂

[fallow ibex]

oh lol i looked at the wiki and didnt see it

[cedar locust]

I think their list might be out of date, but I have an internal list of all Monolith Objectives and the power of CTRL+F 😁

[faint cape]

Highly recommend forgetting that wiki exists 😅
Skittering gate spawns a bunch of arachnid type enemies

No clue about a reference, LE doesn't have rat people enemies to spawn

[fallow ibex]

if they did it would be a neat refrence

[cedar locust]

There's a list of really good, up to date resources in the Pinned Comments if you want to check them out 😊
