[spare yoke]

any dot mitigation?

and what's your sustain for health

[opal dust]

i hvae giga heals from judgement and javelin

[celest hatch]

do you stand in attacks?

red=bad place to stand

[spare yoke]

corr level?

[celest hatch]

purple=also a bad place to stand

[spare yoke]

wait you're sentinel and have only 5k armor

[opal dust]

not really, but those fricking dinasaurs cover whole screen in dot sometimes

[celest hatch]

dot reduction?

[opal dust]

only 5k KekeHands

[spare yoke]

I typically pot armor applies to dot on any build I want to be tanky.

[opal dust]

i dontn have a lot of dot reduction

[spare yoke]

dot is the #1 killer in the game iirc

[celest hatch]

also, as a paladin i think 7-10k is standard

[opal dust]

i assumed giga heal would off-set dot dmg

im at like 300 corr

[celest hatch]

if i remember correctly

[spare yoke]

dot can 1shot iirc

[opal dust]

how tf peple get 10k armor

i tried so tard to get this much

[spare yoke]

I have like double that.

[kindred narwhal]

DoT is the worst in LE for some reason

[celest hatch]

buffs, and percent increases

[native sail]

Yeah, I have 5.2k and my boots have literally 8 armor on them

[celest hatch]

are you using good armor bases?

[opal dust]

is there like a giga armor unique im mising

yeah they are like best tier

[celest hatch]

BIS bases make a big difference if your not runing legendarys

[opal dust]

i evevn have armor idols

[lilac canyon]

is there a faster way to lvl a new character after completing a character?

[spare yoke]

also grasp or immortal vise is good if you're dying to hits.
But you shouldn't be dying to hits.

[celest hatch]

idk i havent been having issues with my 1.5k hp at 300 corruption on lich

but im still climbing

[opal dust]

sometimes harbigers bonk me for 3k

idk how

im crit immune

it took so many tries to complete that harbinger echo

with all the harbingers coming one by one

i also die a lot to that dinasour map that comes one by onen and drops t8 items

[native sail]

That thing has much higher stats than it seems behind the scenes

[opal dust]

ye it feels like "uber harbingers"

because they dont hit that hard when im fighting timelines bosses

[visual venture]

Hey guys I am a new player I had a question how do I drop the red ring, I have been only farming prophecies and rerolling exalted rings with ascendance

[celest hatch]

stop getting hit

[tiny vortex]

hey could anyone help me figure out what i need to do rn

[visual venture]

Is it likely to drop if I am at very high corruption

[celest hatch]

it seems like from everything your saying you might need more movement, DR, dot mitigation, and a tad bit more armor

movement speed is the most powerful defense, cant die if you cant be hit

[uncut zealot]

Hey everyone. So I just closed my game about an hour ago, and reloaded and logged in and all my online characters are gone. Has this happened to anyone else? 🙁

[spare yoke]

there's also a lot of hits that don't seem like they'd be dot that are.
Iirc, such as beams.

[opal dust]

working on it, found 2lp boots from herodot, trying to get the base for it

still, feels like i shouldnt die at 300 corr with those defenses

maybe block isnt as good of a mechanic to invest in, when you can go ham on endurance and armor

[spare yoke]

Idk, I like block. But I invest in it after armor and stuff.

[crude flume]

alright i'm blanking.. how do we transfer corruption from one monolith to another?? ex one is at 200 and I want to boost the next one up.

[spare yoke]

shades of orobyss

[celest hatch]

endurance is OP btw

endurance should be capped on any build that can use it

[spare yoke]

I'm doing an endurance build with lich and face of the mountain.
Very fun.

[opal dust]

yeah seems like it

kinda hard to scale treshold tho

[spare yoke]

foot of the mountain is great if you plan on standing still.

[acoustic vault]

Is there a bug atm with enemies randomly doing a metric ton of extra damage? I just made it to empowered monos and the harbinger after the boss on the timeline keeps 1 hitting me with a basic melee attack for like 7k damage..

[opal dust]

quite the opposite, i just wanna run around since im passively dealin dmg

[silver path]

they nerfed a few really strong builds from last season maybe judgement is part of it idk

[opal dust]

nah rf judgement didnt really get nerfs

not the way im building anyway

the game does feel harder tho

[silver path]

cries in 3k armor as lich in reaper form <.<
but also missing 2 big items

[tender rapids]

whats the leveling strategy rn?

[opal dust]

im thinkinng of usin the brewery belt

edurance on potion use seems good

[silver path]

just gotta remember to jug them before dangerous dmg to pump that threshold

[opal dust]

extra wasted endurance % hurts my soul

[half fractal]

Does the firestarter torch effect stack in co-op if there are 2 players using it? I wanted to know if the twink leveling duo gear is the same for both players or if it's worth it for one player to use the firestarter and the other to use another weapon with a similar effect.

[visual venture]

is there a option of gloves I can use instead of falcon fists for harvest flay lich?

[brisk mountain]

I bought Ember from Skarven, but after changing areas, only the materials were consumed and all the Embers disappeared.
Is this a bug? Is there nothing I can do about it?

[silver path]

either exalted ones with the same base or just look around for some nice other gloves with stats which you might need at that moment

[ripe wasp]

Yes eternal gauntlets work just fine

[west ferry]

can i use evolutions end and horn of the bone wisp?

[thorn ermine]

rune of weaving on this?

[alpine pendant]

yes

[thorn ermine]

feel like rune of weaving does the same thing as slaying enemies? Why would anyone use the rune of weaving?

[silver path]

faster

[tiny vortex]

im a new player and just got to empowered timelines but i see im dying a bit more and feel like im not dishing out enough damage for empowered some times

[pallid herald]

Hello peeps. Isn't there a way to attempt to increase the LP of an item at a high risk of reducing it instead?

[silver path]

turtle woven echo

[thorn ermine]

worth to use rune on that item? Or wait for LP Inheritance?

oh but LP inheritance won't have weaver's will...

😄

[silver path]

runes of weaving drop quite frequently there is no real need to save them

if you wanna use the amulet and you feel like its better than your current one then just slam the weaving

[thorn ermine]

ty ;0

[hasty tartan]

Is timeline progression and corruption per char or per league

[raw lotus]

does penetration against all resistances also mean poison penetration or no because it is damage over time?

[hasty tartan]

DOT pen exists in LE

Unlike POE, where it's only hits

[raw lotus]

so all "penetration" also applies to dot and not just specifically sources of "dot penetration"?

[hasty tartan]

Correct

[raw lotus]

pog ty

[hasty tartan]

Unless for some reason it said hits

[silver path]

kinda both

all chars sharing the same stash as your main char have a bonus on corruption + there is still confluence of oblivion woven echo

[maiden cosmos]

is the set affix type specific?

[hasty tartan]

Do you still have to do all normal monos again on an alt?

Or just enough to level up a bit

[silver path]

need to get to chapter 7 i think with alts but you can use dungeons to skip quite a lot of campaign

then you can get to the monos and i think you were able to go to 90 instantly and get to empowered after that

[hasty tartan]

Ohh cool

[grand crown]

how are people making good money on merchant right now? is lost folley \ shrines still the technologia

[tiny vortex]

bro is the eye of reen just not dropping at all ive gotten so many one handed swords and it has yet to drop

[elfin cove]

if you are leveling alts. remember that going into each mono zone after end of time gives a HUGE exp boost. click on each portal once. (on alts only).

[languid fulcrum]

The normal skip is to go to chapter 5, then temporal sanctum to skip to chapter 9. Dungeon clear will get you 1 idol unlock, and I guess there are a couple quests past that point that give idols too, so you hit max on them despite skipping the ch 6/7/8 idol unlock chances

[rancid cove]

ok guys so im looking at the bear guide on maxroll and im pretty confused by this

why does the planner say its 101% crit avoidance but if you add up the idol and blessing its only 97%?

[wooden furnace]

anybody know how to fix being stuck on the loading screen?

[languid fulcrum]

Do you have another idol granting 4%? 4% happens to be what a small idol can grant (1x1)

[rancid cove]

oh my god im so blind

thank you 🤣

[languid fulcrum]

Classic

[silver path]

which timeline gave endurance blessing again?

[spare yoke]

🤔 I can't seem to find the t8 version of this.

[tiny vortex]

yo is there a way to gain stability quick in empowered timelines?

[spare yoke]

the new keystone mechanic.

[tiny vortex]

how does that work?

[silver path]

you get keystones then you press button bottom right of your timeline bar

[tiny vortex]

can you send like an image example?

[spare yoke]

sure let me go to monos

see the + button?

[tiny vortex]

yeah

im guessing those are random drops the keystones?

[spare yoke]

yeah, more likely in empowered iirc

[tiny vortex]

oh

also after i got to empowered

im lowkey gettin stomped lowkey

the power difference from reg to empowered is kinda wicked

[spare yoke]

yeah I'm struggling myself, tho I'm playing off meta.

[tiny vortex]

Im playing shatter strike but this is the first time ive reached endgame (new player)

[spare yoke]

congrats!

[tiny vortex]

thanks

i feel like i could get more damage or tankiness but i cant get either of these stupid items to drop

[silver path]

if its too much of a struggle do unempowered monos again to farm some boss uniques which you may need to get defenses up

[spare yoke]

I just realized I used all my luck on a 1lp perfect roll urzil's pride.
no wonder my nem's haven't been hitting

[tiny vortex]

ok ill do that

[spare yoke]

what's your defenses look like anyways

[tiny vortex]

but the body armor i need is only from empowered stolen lance😔

[tiny vortex]

idk much about how much im supposed to have but yeah

[spare yoke]

You're in empowered like that? damn you must be doing hella damage.

[tiny vortex]

yeah i do alot of damage but some champions be a lil too tanky and then i end up gettin one shot

[storm blaze]

Apparently only drop from harbingers and big green lizards

[tiny vortex]

well damn

[storm blaze]

So it's quite annoying

[spare yoke]

wait fr, that sounds annoying asf.

[storm blaze]

Yeah it was in the patch notes

[tiny vortex]

i have this much dps if i have my enchanted sword buff

[silver path]

nah they drop from anything

[silver path]

had them drop from trash mobs in echoes even

[storm blaze]

Oh
then i guess it was just a guaranteed drop from them

[silver path]

but more commonly champions etc

harbinger might be guaranteed yeah

[storm blaze]

Thanks for saying that

[silver path]

i see them alot from them

[languid fulcrum]

In LEtools you can only select it from the primordial sealed tab when making an item, since that's the only place it can go

[tiny vortex]

if a weapon says it can be target farmed in a timeline does that mean it ONLY drops from that timeline or no?

[languid fulcrum]

No, the timeline target farm is just a hint about how those monoliths can have echo rewards for uniques of a specific type

[tiny vortex]

ohh ok

[tardy flame]

If I wanted to put an exalted affix on an LP unique, do the exalted item and unique item need to be the same base type? Or could I use an exalted 2h sword and a LP1 dagger? Assuming the dagger could roll the mod

[tiny vortex]

then damn ive been unlucky af i cant get the eye of reen sword to drop at all

[languid fulcrum]

Same base type, since different items have different affixes allowed

[languid fulcrum]

Random drop uniques are like htat. Since they share the drop pool with a huge pile of other uniques you can sometimes have a real hard time getting it lol

Eye of Reen in particular is a rather rare one, with less than 3% of unique one-handed swords being that weapon

[tiny vortex]

😔

[silver path]

if only i had the luck i had with those with red ring instead

got like 4 eye of reen

[languid fulcrum]

That's enough luck to buy you about half of one red ring

(It's 0.14% of unique rings)

[silver path]

tbf i also have WAY more chances for the red ring cause im running prophecies and ascendance rune on it

[sterile lion]

If you fight a harbringer, do you still get the loot of the main boss, or its one of the other? I need an item of Heorot and want to make sure I'm not missing it because harbringer is selected

[silver path]

aight complaining was worth it

[spare yoke]

heard, thanks kernel!

[storm wren]

Which is why the actual best strategy is to simply ignore evolving the beast and ending the lineage every time. It gives you the most bones and the most rewards.

It's a rather lackluster system.

Is it?!

I want to find a efficient strategy to get more bones

[glad robin]

what are your guys favorite monoliths to push corruption?

[silver path]

cant get evolutions end from that though

[storm blaze]

harbinger does also drop the boss loot

[storm wren]

Find rifts in random echoes is a super slowwwwwwwwww process and I even no idea where can I get more bones, summon beasts or enter the cave

[half fractal]

What is a forged weapon?

[storm blaze]

entering the rift

[silver path]

skill from forge guard sentinel

[languid fulcrum]

forge guard mechanic, a minion they summon through other moves

[storm blaze]

a minion from forge strike

[silver path]

you can guarantee it with nesting ground i think

[half fractal]

ty

[storm wren]

nesting ground?

I spec all weaver nodes about rift beast anyways

I have no idea why many people can free to buy multiple primordial items already

[silver path]

https://puu.sh/KzI2b/233c4ff734.png bought 2 already and spent another prolly 25k on conversion and stuff

[heady swan]

How do you acquire the material that lets you "juice" the stability of a monolith quickly?

[silver path]

hmm so im playing harvest flay lich
you think capping endurance is gonna be stronger than having armor from the blessing?

[silver path]

harbinger

[heady swan]

ah ty

[storm wren]

You just can clear maps quickly so you get bones quickly?

How to get bones quickly aaaaaaaa collect primodial uniques is the only reason I play 1.3

[tiny vortex]

if im trying to farm for unique one handed swords what prophecies should i be getting obv the one handed swords but which ones should i pick and what lenses to use

[silver path]

the 2 with cost increase and then higher chance for unique

[tiny vortex]

oh alr

[silver path]

need to be rank 9 for all that though

[tiny vortex]

im rank 9

[silver path]

first cost increase lense unlocks with 7

aight

is there an easy way to get your character into a build planner?

[languid fulcrum]

LEtools has an import option in the upper left

[storm wren]

do the amount of bones available in ancient caves/from rift beasts scale with corruption?

[silver path]

i think so? honestly not sure cause i didnt really pay attention to it so far

im just playing and boom suddenly i got bones

[languid fulcrum]

They def scale with level, so I don't see why they wouldn't with corruption

[storm wren]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ne59-Wun4g
The strategy he showed is grind bones from the campaign. I wonder is it the same in a echo.

Don't complete this echo, just quit and re-enter the echo to respawn rifts

[warped anvil]

how rare is it to get ambushed by a primordial beast? haven't seen a single one yet..

[silver path]

doesnt seem to be 100% correct but it might give me the info i want

[storm wren]

Maybe they let the chance to be ambushed by a rift beast as same as be ambushed by rune warden

[warped anvil]

well, I've seen lots of those

[storm wren]

How much corruption you're under when you grinding bones?

[silver path]

nah its lower than that

more like shade ambush

[silver path]

currently running 340

but not really "grinding" bones per se <.<

[storm wren]

I want to grind materials by grinding rift woven echos but it's hard to grind due to current balance of mobs... My build is quite sensitive for this thing

I tried to grind Nesting Grove last night, enemies are as overwhelming as I tried heart of the hive and Oerden's Watch before 🙃

The reason why I'm impressive at these 2 woven echoes is overwhelming enemies. Nesting grove just 100% copy this feature

I have no idea why EHG don't develop more on burning dagger marksman (help me to solve mana sustain issue by adjust skills and passives). It's quite fun to play but just... Quite limited on damage. Never can be a op build. But heartseeker is the spotlight in 1.2...

Running 339c so far, very close to you

[silver path]

dont think heartseeker was even that strong after all

[near vapor]

there's something sketchy happening with boss damage or damage taken, but i don't have enough evidence to prove it

[storm wren]

Marksman have a big issue is high action per second required and very squishy

(So it trained my action skills so hard hhhhh)

[silver path]

havent played marksman in a hot minute
falconer mostly can just do everything marksman can but better

[storm wren]

I played marksman since 1.1 (created it in 1.0) and never happy with this mastery

But summon burning daggers from using heartseeker to attack is an very very very excellent concept indeed. I like it so much

[silver path]

was there a way to get a legendary item back to an unique with lp?

[warped anvil]

no

[spare yoke]

no, but you can use them to re-roll the stats on uniques with LP
So they're worth keeping if they've got 2 or more affixes and you plan to use the unique.

[silver path]

conflict of strife rerolled you uniques again right?

or did that only work with uniques and no legendaries?

[warped anvil]

What is the effect of putting LP uniques in the weaver's will slots?

[silver path]

?

[warped anvil]

my guess would be there is a chance for that unique to drop with up to the LP of the unique you slotted

Does it work on uniques with specific drop locations?

[storm blaze]

Does not work for uniques with restricted drops (boss uniques or primal stuff)

[silver path]

OH i understand you now
i THINK it affected it a bit but not by much

and ye only random drop uniques

[warped anvil]

Slotting a legendary would cause a unique up to the same LP to drop as well, I imagine.

[silver path]

potentially yes

can also be higher

well nemesis told me i need to play a dot build now cause it rolled tier 3 dot dmg on my red ring q.q

[rancid jolt]

If i'm aiming for something to drop from shade of orobyss does it matter if I do my first encounter with him or keep progressing in the web tree thingy till I see him further out

[unkempt delta]

if it's not the ring then yeah

[storm blaze]

If you go further the other drops are more likely to drop

[unkempt delta]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/monolith-scaling?b=ShadeofOrobyssBoss most stuff doesnt even drop if you do him at the start of the timeline

[silver path]

https://puu.sh/KzIgk/5669f35708.png surely the 4% missing fire and lightning resist wont kill me right?

[storm blaze]

Sure

[rancid jolt]

How is the distance from center measured?

[visual venture]

Is there a way to farm for red ring I have been doing cof with double prophecy and drops for unique rings but I have dropped about 1200 of them not one of them is red ring

Does corruption help because I am at 300

[unkempt delta]

i assume shortest path to node from start

[silver path]

just get lucky and ascend your items too
i also had silver rings in weaver imprints

just any silver ring

[visual venture]

Does ascending silver rings have a better shot at it?

[visual venture]

I guess yeah gotta get lucky with the unique drops but thank you for answering my question

[vapid pewter]

did they change the drop rate for arena keys

[silver path]

dont think so

any ring has the 1 in 733 or w/e it was

[visual venture]

I see so I guess if I ascend the prophecy rings then I might as well give it a shot with those as well

Just need one to drop then I can imprint them but yeah thanks a lot 🙏🏻

[silver path]

wdym?
you should only run unique ring prophecies

[visual venture]

Oh because prophecy exhalted items have 45% chance to not consume runes of ascendance

[silver path]

doesnt have to be from prophecies just need to be a CoF ring

any rarity too

[visual venture]

Oh I see that makes it easier then for sure

I am still new to last epoch so I didnt know it didn’t have to be prophecy, but yeah thanks a lot I guess back to farming I go

[vapid pewter]

did they change the drop rate for arena keys. I cant seem to get a single one to drop

[unkempt delta]

why do you want one to drop in the first place

[silver path]

they drop fine
you can also always jsut try to hunt them from echo rewards

[silver path]

https://puu.sh/KzIjG/06a109808e.png the ring you wanna ascend just has to have that icon for the extra 45% chance to not consume the rune

[vapid pewter]

I guess I'm just getting really unlucky this season. I need the arena for an unique boots for my build

[silver path]

there is also the woven echo where you fight against 2 arena bosses

[vapid pewter]

True, just lower drop rate that way. Its like a 1/3 for tier 1 arena run i believe.

[silver path]

https://puu.sh/KzIkA/02d1765841.png

and afaik its a 1/3 to even get the guy in the first place

[vapid pewter]

Most of missread it, thnx.

[clever oak]

I have to vent somewhere, anyone else can't increase corruption in party play beyond the base of what Shade of Orobyss is giving? i.e. I spend 4 Gazes, and it show it will give around 50 corruption and it only gives the base of what it shows... (i.e. 6 corruption) So frustrating. I'm reporting it in-game but alas no fixes and no validation since day 1. Also not seeing this issue posted anywhere

[silver path]

anyways think keys of memory were also able to be used for normal arena right? dont remember anymore
but yeah a way to guarantee the keys for arena are just hunting for them as echo reward

[near vapor]

I think I can prove the bug (?) where damage seems significantly higher this patch...

My mana lich build has a node (and I have gloves) whereby damage is taken over x seconds.
Reaper form allows me to take a pretty big hit and knocked into regular form if it exceeds my reaper hp - This sometimes happens.
My question would be, if something is big enough to one shot me out of reaper form, why does the damage taken over x seconds not kick in and kill me in normal form?

[silver path]

cause its not enough?
also the dmg taken over x seconds also only applies to rares and champions etc
no normal mobs or blue mobs etc
and its also only like 20% of the hit which you then take as dot

[near vapor]

that proves the bug even more

so either:

1. white/blue mobs are 1 shotting me out of reaper (which is nuts)
2. if it's from a rare/champion, and 20% of hit is taken as dot, and 1 shotting me out of reaper, then where is the dot absorb effect that should kill me

[warped anvil]

post it on the forums!

[near vapor]

yeah im just trying to pin point it a bit more - seen a few reddit threads on this, i don't know what the root issue is though

[near plank]

do weaver tree imprints copy the forging potential

surely not right

:monka

[silver path]

the dot effect wont kill you instantly though in normal form like why should it

give me your armor value in reaper form

[warped anvil]

No!

[near vapor]

if the dot was enough to chunk me out of reaper, it should do serious damage to me out of reaper (i think?)

[silver path]

but the dot doesnt knock you out of reaper

the hit does

[near vapor]

ah then i guess my leech is somehow covering the dot part

[silver path]

yeah your stats also dont really make you tanky

[near vapor]

ya not expecting to be tanky - i'd expect to get 1 shot out of reaper often

but it's not happening often, just randomly, which is the confusing part

at least when it's consistent i know what's killing me (like crit or something, since there's a sound for it)

[near plank]

thx

[silver path]

different lich build but yeah still lich with reaper etc
https://puu.sh/KzIqF/2bc5881f5f.png

[primal kestrel]

Is not Arek's Bones good for minion builds instead of the cleaver?
Arek's Bones gives Chance to apply Armour Shred on Hit for You and Your Minions.
The frogs do 100% Physical Damage so Shred Armor should be a strong DPS increase?

[silver path]

what build?

[near vapor]

ok so it's just my stats, got it

[primal kestrel]

Anurok Beastmaster build, or any minion build

[silver path]

MAYBE there is some funky stuff happening with dmg still idk but most of the time (like when i started out with my flay harvest build) its just not enough stats

[silver path]

got a link to a build?

[storm wren]

Ok I can get nothing if I end the lineage

it don't help me to get more materials and bones

[near vapor]

you gotta stack the thingos first, and then end lineage, just doing it on first one is no use

[silver path]

ill check it in a sec

[primal kestrel]

Thank you so much 🙂

[silver path]

not the biggest builder im mostly just follow guides but playing arpgs in general for way too long so maybe my experience might tell me why ppl are doing what they are doing
most of the time i can follow the logic of the guide writers

[primal kestrel]

Looks like cleaver is mostly used to get +180 attributes for red ring? Otherwise Arek's Bones is better if Im not using red rings?

[storm wren]

I son't know what the benefit of ending the lineage. When I stack enough, the lineage is 100% ended

5 slots only

What I want is a strategy can grind bones

[near plank]

if i use a rune of redemption on item with exalted suffix can it only roll other suffixes

[near vapor]

then keep ending the lineage and farm the rift map

[teal ibex]

If you have Seismic Smash allocated, does this stop you from created aftershocks with the aftershock on attack idols?

[near vapor]

super weird how this white mob 1 shots me, but rares/champs are fine
(i'm capped in both phys/fire)

[silver path]

oh yeah that charge does hella dmg

has a super long wind up time though so its fine imo

[near vapor]

flay-ing around like a crazy person probably doesn't help..

[hushed skiff]

Is T-rex considered a minion?

[small osprey]

@hushed skiff yes

[kind fulcrum]

hello! i have my filter to show naal tooth and other uniques and to hide all the uniques before of this rule. but it doesn't show me when i throw it on the ground. can you check this, please, if you have a naal tooth? i don't want to imagine how much drop did i loose because of this

[silver path]

if you have hide all above any other rule hide all will overwrite all the rules below

best would be to just post a screenshot of your filter ordering

[kind fulcrum]

hide all rarities it's last one

so needed uniques is first on list

[clear swallow]

If you join merchants guild on legacy, you can still trade with anyone else on legacy right?

[storm wren]

that's no sense then

[silver path]

you dont get green portals when you end the lineage

so you only get yellow portals

and the mobs in there give quite a bit of bones

[near vapor]

apparently most of the bones are farmed in the rift map itself

instead of the beast spawn

[kind fulcrum]

@devs

[silver path]

can you show your rule for the needed uniques?

[storm wren]

Sigh. I want something can boost up the speed. Find rift beasts in a map spend so much time... I always need to travel the whole map

[kind fulcrum]

check the photos i uploaded

[kind fulcrum]

you don't see it?

[storm wren]

I still can't remember what yellow and green rift mean

[silver path]

i dont know which rule that was from

[tawny vessel]

Is there a level cap for being power leveled? Im havign a buddy power level me in monoliths and it seems much slower than doing like lower level monsters like lagon, is there an imposed max level cap of enemies where you don't get as much xp?

[silver path]

also is by chance your naals tooth which you drop legendary?

[silver path]

https://puu.sh/KzIvu/e715536a35.png thats a yellow one for example

which lets you travel to the ancient era and do the hunt there

the green portal summons the beast to your echo instead

[silver path]

is that one legendary? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/844008172640403496/1409805130500542504/image.png?ex=68aeb6d8&is=68ad6558&hm=bf749b5bdd1ca26560baa6279629b12e48503cb322007a44cb3dfd040980068b&

[flat hamlet]

How rare is channel cost reduction affix shards?

[languid geyser]

hi. i'm a new player. i played for the first time a few day ago and now today when i launched the game it runs at a snail's pace. i'm playing true offline. i've reduced all settings to the absolute bare minimum to see if that had any effect and it did not (could previously play perfectly fine with max settings).

any thoughts?

[kind fulcrum]

it's an unique, man

[thorn ermine]

minion melee dmg not showing up on suffix options for this item? What gives

lol

[silver path]

then hf figuring it out yourself

[kind fulcrum]

thanks for help

[hushed skiff]

If I am playing Low HP and all ward then armor isn't important since it doesn't apply to ward right?

[silver path]

what?

[teal ibex]

2-H clubs can't roll minion melee damage.

[placid hazel]

Armor does apply to ward - endurance doesn't

[hushed skiff]

Thanks

[storm wren]

so if I don't want to summon rift beast instead of entering ancient cave, I just end the lineage all the time?

[silver path]

yeah but you wont get any horns etc then

[hushed skiff]

Does resistances apply to ward?

[placid hazel]

yeah, anything that specifies you "take less damage" includes damage to ward, things like endurance specifically states "damage to health"

[storm wren]

🫡 It's no matter. I can purchase bags of materials to get them if I'm rich on bones

[hushed skiff]

thanks

[silver path]

dont think only spamming those rifts will make you THAT rich on bones

[placid hazel]

yeah, 500 to buy 1 is an absolute awful conversion considering the rampant quantity you can get from them just casually doing primal glades

this would cost like millions of bones

[silver path]

one thing as of why you play cleaver on that second build you posted is possibly for the extra ward retention cause of the relic giving you so much ward

[storm wren]

damn I want the amount of materials I have like yours too

[silver path]

especially the hearts are insanely expensive

[placid hazel]

infuratingly so; rampant coast prints them anyway

[storm wren]

You're free on primodial uniques definitely

[placid hazel]

slot 1 rampant coast and 1 bloodline glade, and just do some mapping

throw down some lighthouses if you're inpatient

[silver path]

especially with the increased chance for crystal hearts node in the weaver tree

[placid hazel]

you will make an absurd, like literal absurd amount

[near vapor]

how do you explain this lol

[storm wren]

You grind rampant coast to get materials?

[nocturne ether]

if I imprint a legendary item that has 1 affix, does it make it more likely for it to drop 1lp?

[placid hazel]

actually i discovered something about that node subway, the rampant coast has a 100% crystal heart droprate

so taking that node

actually slows you down by making it tankier

you get no benefit in that context

but it does increase the probability hearts spawn on bloodline glade rift beasts

[near vapor]

https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/1mzep81/rampant_coast_farm_goes_brrrr/

[placid hazel]

Yup sync

thats precisely what im doing

[silver path]

fair enough but gives you increased chance for the other beasts

[placid hazel]

i had 1m amber

at once point

[silver path]

but yeah

[near vapor]

is it self sustaining? and btw can you link your weaver tree

[storm wren]

what will rampant coast drop? Do it drop bones too or materials only?

[silver path]

also armor shred is not really as important cause apparently your frogs gain quite a bit of phys pen through your stats already

[placid hazel]

is there an easier way than a shitty screenshot?

[silver path]

maxroll etc have a weaver tree in their build planner

[placid hazel]

cba tbh lol

this is it but it might be hard to make out the deeper investment

[silver path]

its a quick import^^

[near vapor]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/

[placid hazel]

oh okay

[near vapor]

just type in your thingos

and it auto imports

[placid hazel]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/coffeekitty/character/lilly

you can just scroll down nd see it there

i change it a lot though

and i have glade/coast imprinted most of the time

but sometimes drop glade for random stuff like nemesis tower etc.

[near vapor]

why do you get the loot lizard exalted node, but not the loot lizard spawn nodes at the bottom

[placid hazel]

limited points

and they're common enough

[near vapor]

also, you got 1m amber without the increased amber drop node? or did you swap that out

[placid hazel]

but i probably should drop those

i swapped it out

because all of the amber

is from bags

so amber droprate is irrelevant for me

[near vapor]

oh interesting

[placid hazel]

because when im getting like 30 crystal hearts an hour

thats like

[near vapor]

150k amber

[placid hazel]

150,000 amber an hour worth of bags

yea

lol

[near vapor]

i assume the bones is self sustaining too?

[placid hazel]

uhh not really no

i have to go in rigfts a lot

to farm bones

horns are the real issue though

[storm wren]

these are bags of what

[placid hazel]

5k amber each

[storm wren]

Horns is the material I need the most too

[near vapor]

@silver path something specifically about phys/fire physical damage is just trucking me

[silver path]

partly cause you only got like 20% armor

[near vapor]

ya but why doesn't other physical damage truck me

[silver path]

its not supposed to be a nuke like the abilities you got hit by

[placid hazel]

some things are giga overtuned rn due to the bug

like harbinger phys/void hyrbid melee attacks

hit me for 50k through my armor/block/res/15k ward

and i just instadie

[near vapor]

what bug

[placid hazel]

lol

[placid hazel]

https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/1n01lfl/so_no_update_on_monster_damage_getting_2x_more/nao85n5/

[near vapor]

THANK FK

[placid hazel]

if you want to see this bug in it's most extreme

do a brink echo

the smallest attacks they do

have a base damage of about 500k

so even with my absurdly tanky build

[near vapor]

#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

[placid hazel]

it just goes pop

that response makes sense

because it wasn't intentional

it wouldn't be communicated among the devs

[near vapor]

(that response was before the reddit post was posted)

[placid hazel]

it's a bug as a result of the level scaling

[near vapor]

ya it's fair, but i felt i was being gaslit or something

[placid hazel]

it's even possible that still now not all the devs know it

yup

i noticed it immediately

[near vapor]

(but yes my mitigation is also shithouse, i recognise that)

i just expect to die from everything, not just the random thing

[placid hazel]

i've done umbral blades and infernal shade builds for 3 seasons in a row now

and i know exactly the type of damage im expected to see

so this time around

when i get hit by stuff that im used to hitting me for about 1k

an it hits 50k

it's pretty fkin obvious lol

[near vapor]

thank you for your service

[silver path]

if its that much yeah

[placid hazel]

it's skewed

basically like, the further from the center the more extreme the bug is

so harbingers are high corruption

and then like rift beasts/rift mobs at lvl 10

etc.

those are both doing 10-20 times the damage they're supposed to

but random mobs or bosses in like normal monoliths? completley normal

so the solution rn is to overly index surviability untill friday when we'll get a patch

or avoid pushing higher corruption

[near vapor]

that actually explains why ppl found early level rifts so hard

[placid hazel]

yup

[silver path]

but only really if you are doing the content you described i would guess

[placid hazel]

yeah

[near vapor]

ya but ppl playing hardcore would have no idea

[placid hazel]

if ur not going past 150-200c you'll not likely have issues

but if u do brink and suddenly the shadow chick teleports from 9 screens away

[languid fulcrum]

Yeah, I noticed it with comparing the ch2 rift to a ch3 rift. Ch2 was WAAAAY harder

[placid hazel]

and does an instant 1 frame basic auto attack

[near vapor]

im at 240 corruption atm and just getting swatted

[placid hazel]

that is suppsoed to be filler damage for like 1k

and it hits you for 50k

non crit

through 30% armor

and 2k block eff

ur like what the actual fk

[languid fulcrum]

"Screw this guy in particular" - Harby

[placid hazel]

p much

yeah i cant go past 400c

despite the fact that this build has like 3 times the ehp

of my previous builds

that could chill 500c np

[languid fulcrum]

Yeah. Things are rough out there. THankfully my duo run with my much-more-casual friend hasn't hit the bad parts yet, though he did get MEGA tilted early game from that ch2 rift lmao

[near vapor]

man the damage ramp from like, 200c to 250c is nuts

[placid hazel]

so mid game solution

astral blood

is absurdly frontloaded in it's power

its very easy to get

and even a 0lp one will make almost any player twice as durable as they were previously

[languid fulcrum]

The scaling in campaign is fine from like lvl 15 onward, except special mechanic bosses being a bit harder than they should be, so at least that's nice

[silver path]

tbf what coffee is talking about doesnt affect you yet btw

[placid hazel]

no it absolutely does

[languid fulcrum]

Any harbinger is scaled wrong FWIU

[placid hazel]

because its kinda amplifying stuff in a multiplative way

the problem is with levels not corruption

but corruption multiplies the underlying problem

so all empowered monos have this problem equally

but corruption multiplies that baseline skew

[near vapor]

wow

[silver path]

sync only does like normal echoes so far and gets killed by normal mobs and some random normal bosses in those echoes

you were talking about harbingers etc

[placid hazel]

ah well he said 200c

[near vapor]

i actually know specific mobs that just insta-gib me

[placid hazel]

mb lol

[near vapor]

the animation just begins, and i die from the charge, before the charge actually starts

the harbinger red line was 1 shotting me before, but that's just me being stupid, i could've dodged or use a DR for it

[placid hazel]

yeah harbingers are the worst offenders for this thing

[languid fulcrum]

Could be worse. The other day someone here had a clip of a portal champion rift beast doing its charge attack, then teleporting during the charge attack to be right on top of the player, then dealing 5k damage

[silver path]

yeah but just normal echoes in that 200c range not like brink etc like you were talking about^^

[placid hazel]

every single attack they do is basically a oneshot

[near vapor]

but i dunno if 4.8k dmg from a white mob is normal against a res-capped toon....

[silver path]

red line is honestly supposed to be one you have lots of time to dodge it too etc

[placid hazel]

well they are, that's what im trying to say sub - brink is the most extreme example but the issue is present everywhere

[silver path]

got 20% armor and barely any hp

^^

[placid hazel]

There's currently a bug with scaling enemies to area level that causes them to deal a lot damage than intended, especially when being scaled to a level similar to or lower level than their base level. It also causes them to deal more damage than intended when being scaled to a higher level, but the effect is more muted.

The harbingers' base level is 100, compared to the 1-60 of most regular enemies, so in empowered timelines this bug affects them much more than it does most enemies.

Patch 1.3.1 will include a fix for this bug and is scheduled for later this week.

[near vapor]

again, other white mobs don't hit me nearly as hard

[silver path]

res cap isnt your magical "i survive everything now"

other white mobs dont have a big charge attack with a 2 sec windup

[near vapor]

yknow the damage on that charge is done as soon as the animation starts?

there's no windup

it looks like there is, but the dmg is applied instantly

[silver path]

i know for a fact that the dmg happens during the charge
died to it myself

at 340c

[placid hazel]

how tf can i get the same 80% drop 5 times in a row with a 50-90% range

the probability on that is absurd

💀

[languid fulcrum]

Charge attacks deal damage durin gthe whole animation, they just only proc it once per target

[near vapor]

i'm going to go to the trouble of turning on recording, just to prove you wrong, like you were just proven wrong with the damage bug

[languid fulcrum]

If you get hit on the first frame, the rest won't deal anything. If you don't get hit first frame, the later parts will hit you instead (if you're in it)

[silver path]

but yeah SOME animations actually get skipped when you fear them

[placid hazel]

no need to be that hostile - its easy to miss some small details here

my experience with the charge is that they have multiple stages of damage

also idk if this is intentional

but ive noticed that mobs sometimes do their basic attack while winding up abiliies

and its invisible lol

[silver path]

like if you get overkilled by a reasonable amount it doesnt really scream a dmg bug as when you get hit by a 50k attack which is supposed to be 1k

[silver path]

especially when you only got 2k hp play lich and only got 20% armor dr

[placid hazel]

right but you have to understand sub that this damage bug is virtually universal

but the mobs it affects is very arbitrary

[wintry raven]

Doe harbinger's needle work on any corruption or only with those that would drop the eye?

[languid fulcrum]

It's sprinkled around on various stuff all over the game. It doesn't affect every mob, but the ones it affects do absolutely BONKERS damage

[placid hazel]

well whats kind of insidious is that while being sprinkled around it affects each mob differently

because the severity of the skew is based off the offset of the mobs base level

to the current area level

[near vapor]

goes both ways mate

[placid hazel]

mulitplied by corruption + damage modifiers

so in result we have some mobs doing 50x their normal damage

some mobs doing 1.1x

yknow?

[silver path]

like i could see the bees maybe having a bit too much dmg on the charge but i also think that the charge is easy enough to dodge
more so than a 50k auto attack from a harbi^^

[placid hazel]

its chaos

[silver path]

but yeah animations being invisible etc i encountered already myself
like most bosses when you fear them out of an ability then they sometimes just instantly do the ability after the fear without any indicators

[placid hazel]

i've tried to explain why in the current state that perspective doesnt work but i dont wanna keep repeating myself

[silver path]

like harbi red line

[placid hazel]

it would just annoy you lol

[placid hazel]

i believe it works on anything 90+

[silver path]

or majasa big red sword in the weaver echo

[placid hazel]

i meant him :p

im just trying to explain that its hard right now to actually accurately estimate wether or not some 1shot is a bug right now or intended damage balance

but ultimately the end result is the same

stack DR, defensive layers, ward, etc.

as much as we can

thats all we can do untill a fix comes and then we can re-evaluate our defenses after then

like right now im slamming T7 health over int and damage

because its too important to try to get to a point where regular echo mobs stop one tapping me

and looks like 20k~ ward will be the ticket for me

assuming i can get 30-35% armor

which shouldnt be too hard

[silver path]

sadly cant have that as lich

[placid hazel]

Yeah lich might be paradoxically too squishy due to this

despite it supposed be the tankiest acolyte subclass

[silver path]

idk me big chilling in 340

but didnt do brink yet

[placid hazel]

other than harbingers there are some specific mobs like the aoe skull explosions that are hitting like 40k+ too

so im curious if you do ever randomly get oneshot by stuff

but if not then thats interesting

i havent payed a whole lot of attention to death seals changes

[silver path]

not playing death seal

[placid hazel]

can you tell me your char/acc name? id like to look your char up and see what i can learn

since it could help me shore up my defenses if i find stuff im missing

[silver path]

logging in so i can show you accurate numbers

[placid hazel]

appreciate that

cause if i can find a way to stop getting 1tapped in 400c id be very happy lmao

[silver path]

like some stuff kills me quite fast ye
but in death recap its then only like 500 to 1k overkill dmg which i think is fair cause i am missing some things still in my build

[placid hazel]

i took a 27k hit from a rift beast bite earlier

which is funny as fk

considering with aura of decay i have like

[silver path]

and its mostly boss abilities which are mostly easy to dodge

[placid hazel]

-20% phys damage taken ontop of all my layers

[silver path]

yeah they hurt quite a bit but i also figured out the pattern for them quite early on when i wiped to my first glade like 20 times^^

[near vapor]

zzzz, i went through the trouble of setting up obs, streaming, finding a rift, going through the entire rift, and not a single flying bear thing charged me

[languid fulcrum]

Excluding special dungeon or fought-only-when-alone boss mechanics, I don't think anything should be dealing quite that much damage in one hit lol
At least not until you hit corruption so high that taking a hit isn't survivable by anything in the first place

[placid hazel]

lmao

[silver path]

hmm idk
if its easy enough to dodge and you have enough time i dont mind it being a big oneshot thing

like big slam on abbi

which then has that wave

[near vapor]

i don't know how many times i can say this
there is nothing to dodge, because as soon as the animation starts, it hits

[languid fulcrum]

My contention against it with random arrangements of enemies is just that: The random. Without controlled circumstances that "easily dodged, telegraphed thing" can quickly become not possible to dodge

[placid hazel]

Yeah thats what frustrates me with the current bug

[wintry raven]

Does endurance only work when you're at the threshhold? Like, if you have 1k hp with 50% endurance, 500 endurance treshhold and take 1k hit, do you take 500dmg then the other 500 are reduced to 250?

[languid fulcrum]

That counts as a fought-alone boss mechanic. Like, it's a staged encounter, it's fine

There won't randomly be a portal mod on them making them warp behind me and say "nothing personnel, kid" mid animation

[placid hazel]

im chillin with like 15k ward runnin around immortal to everything then randomly something that should be insignificant like a random leap or auto attack or whole screen chip damage aoe wave just implodes me for 100% overkill

[languid fulcrum]

it recalculates as you cross the threshold

[desert tree]

No, it works all the time

[placid hazel]

bugfix my issues 100% though im confident of it

[languid fulcrum]

So if you take 1000 damage and have 1000 HP, 200 threshold, 20% endurance. The first 800 hits normally, then you're at 200 with 200 more damage left, which gets reduced by the 20% endurance, leaving you with 40 health left

And that still happens if it's all one big hit

[placid hazel]

i will say this experience has spurred me to want to make the tankiest necro i can come up with

just for fun

not a lot of options for layers on this class though

[languid fulcrum]

Lich got the good stuff for defense now

Though even that is mostly DoT defense

[placid hazel]

i always thought of warlock as being the paper class, but necro feels even squishier

[languid fulcrum]

A well-built lich should end up basically immortal against DoTs, but hits will still scare them lol

[silver path]

depends
i think ground puddles and breath attacks count as dots currently for the dot to health dmg node and they are actually really scary cause of it

[placid hazel]

bruh since when does T1 sealing affixes fail

💀

twice now today

[languid fulcrum]

Accursed feast and dealing more damage solves all dot problems, basically

[placid hazel]

wait do they?

[silver path]

btw sent you dm with the stuff we talked

[placid hazel]

cause those are some of the most threatening attacks for me rn

[silver path]

it most certainly feels like it

[placid hazel]

does that mean i can mitigate them via armor to dot?

[languid fulcrum]

Yes, channeled breath attacks and puddles count as damage over time

Just non-ailment dot

Like disintegrate

[silver path]

i died to them earlier and i checked and i still had ward on death

[placid hazel]

so i stack more of this and they one shot me less? cause my biggest rage moments are when a big breath attack hits me

and i die INSTANTLY in 1 frame

from full health

it might as well be a oneshot

like its supposed to be sustained damage you avoid it

[wintry raven]

Does anyone know where I can see weaver tree builds?

[languid fulcrum]

DoT damage has always been the scarier damage in this game, since it's tuned based on X recovery, but your recovery isn't gonna scale as good as enemy damage usually. (Unless leech, which is why accursed feast is so good)

[silver path]

cant heal when a dot tick ticks for half your total hp^^

[languid fulcrum]

That's the neat part about it, you're always healing

Don't have to start, it never ended

[silver path]

yeah but dots go through your ward and insta tick your hp
and cause you are lich your max health is only 1/2 your max hp

[languid fulcrum]

That's not as big of a loss as you think. You actually have more HP against DoTs with 5/5 in both those passives than you have with 0 in both

Unless you had a ton of ward, which maybe you did

(This also assumes you have 60% endurance, because why wouldn't you)

[placid hazel]

yeah, in my case im 0hp tons of ward build so i cant even leverage endurance

which is big sad

if i could leverage endurance into ward the trex build would go so stupidly strong

[languid fulcrum]

Yeah, so you can't use corrupted form or leech

Well, you can use leech.. as damage

Scornful blood basically makes leech into a "more damage" modifier of sorts

Bit more complex than that ofc, only becomes that simple against single target

[silver path]

yeah its just that lets say tier 4 temporal sanctum boss
nothing is really super dangerous to me in that fight but the puddle you drop after you swap timelines
that puddle literally one taps me when i dip my toe in there
obv just place the puddle in a good position and dont run into it etc

[quick apex]

Whats the fastest way to have a mate lvl you? I was with him at lvl 100 mono's but wasnt super fast exp. Is there an exp penalty or something if the zone it too high?

[shadow field]

Weaver tree imprinting does not work with any dungeon drop or beast hunt npc uniqs,right?

[near vapor]

you only get exp from mobs +10 lvls from you iirc

but your mate can sort of give you juiced gear

[quick apex]

i have lvling gear

[languid fulcrum]

More accurately, you only get XP as if they were 10 levels higher than you at most. They can be higher and you still get some XP, just not necessarily all of it

[quick apex]

so i can boost, just wanted some cheeky extra lvls to start with

[silver path]

nor with boss drops

[quick apex]

ahhh! i see, So even thought its lvl 100, if im lvl 20, it treats them as lvl 30

kk, thanks all

[languid fulcrum]

Yeah, so it's not worth to try to push there for XP, just do the base monolith until you start to catch up

[silver path]

just everything which can randomly drop in the open world

[languid fulcrum]

I usually dip to monos at around 38 when solo

[near vapor]

does armor work on elemental dmg?

[shadow field]

ok,ty

[languid fulcrum]

Yes, but only at 70% power. So if you would've mitigated 80% against phys, you only mitigate 56% against non-phys

This also works in reverse for armor break (it's 70% as good for non-phys hits for increasing damage dealt)

Sorry, "Shred Armor"

[near vapor]

i can kill lagon+harbinger on 240c easier than a hummingbear, zzz

[languid fulcrum]

Try taking on a room full of thornclaw rares

[near vapor]

if i die to thornclaw, i can understand because my armor is shit

[cloud elm]

Does Reyleh drop shield only in 100+ corr?

And does the glyph of envy dont give stability anymore?

[languid fulcrum]

Rahyeh's Light is random drop, if that's what you're talking about

Not a boss drop

[near vapor]

there's a temporal keystone item that does it instead, it's on the stability bar

[tired turtle]

Do items with 2 stats , but one exalted stat still count as magic item for the primordial spear?

or is it max t5 affixes we can use?

[cloud elm]

Thornes shield or whats it called

[cloud elm]

How to use it?

[near vapor]

the green +

[cloud elm]

Ohhh thnx

[languid fulcrum]

Rahyeh has no boss drop shield at all. Thornshell is also a random drop from anything.

Tools will list Black Sun Timeline but not because of the boss, but because that timeline can have echoes reward a random drop unique or set shield

[shell lava]

K real talk about LE and I mean this with the utmost respect to the Devs. The damage scaling in this game is horrendous. You jump into empowered monos and even with max resist and 100% crit avoidance you get random one shots from mobs all the time. It's absolutely deflating as a player and makes you feel like your a bad player, maybe I am bad. I'm trying to have fun and this keeps happening and it just makes me want to quit. I've tried to be patient and it's so frustrating. For the average player and not the hardcore LE fan or grinder has anyone else felt like this from these overtuned Champion mobs? I hope they do something to balance or fix this cause it just makes the game feel bad. 🙁

[languid fulcrum]

Yes, it's a known bug rn

[cloud elm]

K thnx

[languid fulcrum]

They redid how scaling works under the hood and it bugged out some enemies to be way too strong, supposed to be fixed end of the week-ish (with 1.3.1)

[shell lava]

Oh thank god! I'm like wtf am i doing wrong do I really sucks this bad? Never had this issue in the past

[languid fulcrum]

In a typical season, my total deaths below level 70 will be 0 or 1.
This season has barely started, and I'm at about 10 lmao

[unkempt delta]

yeah idk what you guys are talking about
the new beetle enemies that breathe fire are pretty dangerous but if youre dying to anything else at 100 corruption then your build is unfinished or just badly put together

[languid fulcrum]

6 from the ancient rift in chapter 2 alone, another one from a rift beast mid-campaign, 3 more from monos

[languid fulcrum]

It's not every enemy or at every level, it's a few specific things often only for certain levels

MOST enemies are scaled fine, but when they aren't it's REAL bad

[silver path]

i always felt like i could have done something better to circumvent my death and as long as i have that feeling i think its fine that i died to it cause i know it was my fault

[shell lava]

Well yeah it's unfinished, working on getting it better that takes time meanwhile ya get splatted. I smash through most stuff pretty well then it's like Bam dead!

[languid fulcrum]

I've seen a few that were legit undodgeable, but even if you can skill dodge the fact is that there are many things forcing skill-dodge-or-die gameplay at all levels that aren't supposed to be that way until high corruption

One of my deaths at level 12, with gear forged for HP thanks to it being my 2nd character, was in the ch2 rift. I died to the initial autoattacks of each enemy joining the fight through that health, a shield, and all three potions. Took about 2s to die.

Not all rift mobs can do that, I got unlucky with which ones it chose

[shell lava]

Yeah that's what I'm saying, just seems pretty strong for just starting out in empowered. There should be a nice scaling, not k time to get wrecked. Obviously some people who know all the ins and outs and diehards, this might not pertain to you I'm talking more about us casuals myself included.

[languid fulcrum]

Thankfully the NPC killed them while I was dead so I didn't have to beat that pack lmao

[shell lava]

thanks for the feedback on the upcoming patch. 👍

[hushed skiff]

I am confused about block. Most items don't have affixes that give block chance and effectiveness. Is block useless?

[desert tree]

It's super strong
But not all classes have easy access to it

[hushed skiff]

Ok thanks

[languid fulcrum]

Sentinel and, through some shenanigans, Rogue can get 100% block at which point it's a supremely reliable defense. Doesn't work on damage over time tho

[oak vault]

sry for being late lol

the screen you asked

[languid fulcrum]

Yeah, normal modes you don't get an option to say no, and right now harbingers are bugged (along with some other stuff) to be too strong. Fix is supposed to be in for 1.3.1, estimated "later this week"

[oak vault]

meh

[near vapor]

FINALLY

GOT IT ON STREAM

@silver path @placid hazel
https://www.twitch.tv/syncness/clip/KnottyThankfulIguanaJKanStyle-Y2l7yVibuJDEii0h
tell me where is the ramp up

[languid fulcrum]

There's like 0.2s there to react.
Granted, human reaction time is typically 0.2s and moves take time to execute XD

[near vapor]

(ignore the low hp no reap, i was baiting the charge to prove a point)

[candid knot]

I wanna slam an axe i have with 1LP. Do i the thing im taking the stat from to also be an axe?

[languid fulcrum]

The item type must match, yes. One-handed axe to one-handed axe, two-handed axe to two-handed axe, etc

[icy drift]

Yes

[candid knot]

ty

[quick crown]

if i put a weavers echo in my weaver tree that requires a higher corruption than what i am currently running, will it ever show up as a echo?

[icy drift]

Doubt it

[brazen ravine]

What's the change they made again last season where you got to pick your Julra LP affix? Was it gated behind what lvl Julra you did?

[icy drift]

As long as it's T2 or higher you can pick one guaranteed affix

[brazen ravine]

They added a thing where you could pick one of the affixes as a guarantee right

Yeee that's the one, thanks 👏

[glacial bison]

hi, is abom skill tree retroactive? or i need to make a new one each time i put point on the tree

[desert tree]

Bottom of this there should be a box you can tick or not
With a big pink ish crystal

[desert tree]

It update every time you put a point

[oak vault]

also while i'm at it : i can get all sorts of components from beast rifts but never the blue heart , how can i get those blue hearts?

[quick crown]

i have seen those drop from rift beasts that has a big "crystal heart" modifier under their name, but dont know if that is the only source

[minor path]

can you drop an harbringer needle if you already clear it?

[near vapor]

i feel so vindicated lol

[austere blade]

I’m running a Paladin build almost identical to last season, but I feel like I’m taking more damage from hits now.
Did they change anything about damage or mitigation this season, or is it just me?

[scarlet nova]

Hello, can anyone explain to me, minion melee leech as heal meaning I got heal or minion got heal?

[near vapor]

there's a dmg bug going around, worse in higher corruption
https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/1n01lfl/so_no_update_on_monster_damage_getting_2x_more/

[languid fulcrum]

Minion leech means the minion heals

[austere blade]

thanks

[scarlet nova]

so only minion got heal, right?

[quick crown]

there are a LOT of players that agree with you, some balance changes seems to have been made in this season. some monsters, especially Champion enemies hits like 10x the damage they used to do last season

[storm blaze]

yes

[scarlet nova]

Ty, and aspect of the shard or lynx, what is it?

[languid fulcrum]

They're just fancy buffs that only primalist/beastmaster get

They're called "aspect" so that they can have passives that affect all "aspect" buffs

[quick crown]

i mean, this is just silly...

this is in 100 corruption

[near vapor]

are you res capped

[quick crown]

yes you read that right, 100

[quick crown]

yes

thats the problem

[austere blade]

yep, that is the problem, at 100 corruption some champions oneshot me...

[quick crown]

i am res capped and still get hit like this

[near vapor]

i assume, like me, your armor is rubbish?

[quick crown]

20% reduction, but i also have 30% less damage taken from phys

[near vapor]

interesting

[quick crown]

that i get from aura of death converted to phys/bleed

[languid fulcrum]

So less phys taken from that then

[austere blade]

i think is for the mobs created on weaver tree passives

[near vapor]

there's something scuffed about hybrid dmg imo

but again, i don't have evidence to prove it

[languid fulcrum]

A given point of damage is only one type. A move with hybrid damage just deals both types separately as a single hit. The death screen just isn't complex enough to show the full detail on it

So we don't know how much of that bite is phys and how much is cold. Could be 1 phys and over 5000 cold, or 1 cold and over 5000 phys

[tame sapphire]

How do I regex-search for items with at least two T7 affixes?

[quick crown]

no, the aura gives 30% less phys dmg taken, period. and then it also gives 50% less damage taken from the aura itself on top of that

[languid fulcrum]

Yes, that's.. what I was referring to

I assume you didn't take the nodes that do another -20%

[quick crown]

i have 1 point into that

to travel to points behind it

[languid fulcrum]

So 30% less from baseline, then another 5% less from spec

[quick crown]

and 20% from armor

and another 15% from other sources that dont specify a damage type

and i still got hit for nearly 5k

[languid fulcrum]

Yeah, for 100 corruption that should only be like.. 1.5k tops after all that

[quick crown]

yeah

if even that much

[austere blade]

over 3k, yesterday on 1 hit.. 100 corruption

[languid fulcrum]

Rift beasts are pretty skill dodgeable for the most part. As long as it doesn't get portal champion or spawn in a tight corner

[austere blade]

but the point is if we cannot tank any damage, i will play main damage builds

[quick crown]

for me, the mobs i am having most issues with is Champion enemies

[languid fulcrum]

These damage numbers are bugged rn, fix coming in 1.3.1 later this week

[austere blade]

oh ok

[languid fulcrum]

Like, I've done 100 corruption before and I only had like 1.6k HP, and the only time it was a problem was if an enemy had "deadly" and went invuln (stupid weaver boss)

But this season? Mucho spicy

[quick crown]

i guess its good that they are fixing it, but its a bit too late for me with late this week for the fix, i had this week to play and then i am playing other games

[languid fulcrum]

Well, the game will have other seasons.

[quick crown]

true

[frigid wraith]

any easy way to find that woven echo that lets you convert attributes?(i dont have one so cant weavers tree it)

[near vapor]

you can buy it at later woven levels, but that's probably not an easy solution for you

[frigid wraith]

im only weaver 5 😭

[near vapor]

yeah i figured sry

[wide sentinel]

thats only for dots not hits

[frigid wraith]

once i can attribute swap i have like 4 slams to do and my power will go up alot, but until then ☠️

[raven kernel]

You would think that issue in particular would be added to the #1408136121073926306 list or even #1230194460164362350 for every traveler to become aware of due to how much of a problem it is.

The problem being: becoming deincentivised from playing Last Epoch.

[near vapor]

maybe you can pt with someone?

[near vapor]

yeah i dunno, i was crying about it 9 hrs ago to the devs, wasnt known then

8 hrs ago it was posted on reddit by dev

it is what it is, indie dev

[raven kernel]

11 hours in my case prior to typing this.

[frigid wraith]

that souns like bad trading stuff and i dont do that 😂

[near vapor]

i mean, you party with someone who has the map, and you join with them - i wonder if that works

[fleet star]

Hi,
im in empored monolith and killed the first harbinger. When i finish now a new monolith in empored monoliths with 100 corruption no harbinger is spawning in any Monolith. Any body got an idea whats wrong ?
Thanks

[frigid wraith]

do you happen to remember name of the echo?

[near vapor]

the quest text will tell you what corruption you need to spawn the next (125)

[near vapor]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/endgame/monolith/woven-echoes/oerdens-watch

[placid hazel]

so brinigng back up the conversation of the damage quirkiness lol

10k ward disintegrated in 200 miliseconds

:kekw

[quick crown]

ok

[near vapor]

skill issue

[placid hazel]

100%

i wanted to test to see if i could block it

spoiler alert, you can, and it doesnt matter

[near vapor]

did you see my clip above?

[placid hazel]

oh let me look

[fleet star]

the quest says defeat an unseen harbinger by conquering a different timeline at 100 corruption. i did multiple monoliths but no harbinger is spawning

[placid hazel]

LMFAO

okay yeah you are 100% right

[frigid wraith]

tyvm ❤️

[placid hazel]

the damage application is in the windup

LOL

[near vapor]

what actually killed you? cause the last hit was like 1k

[placid hazel]

jfc thats so funny

the lightning blast, i think? im actually still not entirely sure

ive watched the clip like 5 times

[near vapor]

is there a dot effect somewhere

[placid hazel]

im so sad ima probably be playing poe before they fix the damage bug cause i want to see how far i can push this build after they fix it

but rn its so silly

[timid robin]

why is my bear not doing 3 earthquakes even tho i have the node in earthquake

[placid hazel]

im not sure because i was getting "blocked" notifications on the hits yet they still hittin like dot damage lol

[near vapor]

i havent touched poe since the disaster that was 0.1 - is it better now?

this coming from a poe1 CBT player... i've seen some shit

[placid hazel]

no, not even a little but next patch, 0.3 is aiming and it looks like it will succeed in solving the vast majority of the issues i personally have with the game

but i wont recommend it to anyone

untill i have personally experienced it

because holy .2 was a dumpster fire

and nearly made me permaquit

[near vapor]

wow

[languid fulcrum]

0.2 was like "let's double down on everything that people hated in 0.1"

[placid hazel]

imagine a game where there's literally 1 viable build that 55% of all players play

and if you dont play that build you literally can't clear content

because everything was nerfed by 80-95%

[languid fulcrum]

0.3 has much broader changes, so I'll give it a maybe

[placid hazel]

Yeah

ultimatley that's all i want, build diversity and less false choices

LE is so beloved by me because there are so many viable builds

so much linear scaling and a good attention to interplay

meanwhile in poe2 its like, if you want to play an non warrior ignite build, yeah uninstall buddy

[languid fulcrum]

Yeah, LE is nice because even if a build is bad you can still enjoy leveling it at least lol

[placid hazel]

my bf literally spent 2 months trying to make a pyro pact ignite of any kind build work and i funneled him about 500 divs into it

and we still cant scale it past t15

deli content is a non starter

its absurd

incinerate is a literal joke of a spell

[languid fulcrum]

Meanwhile, you could roulette wheel your 5 skills in LE and find a way to make it work to at least empowered

[placid hazel]

ignitie prolif has a 1m range

etc

[placid hazel]

yup

[languid fulcrum]

Someone should make a website for that or something, would be neat

Just RNG mastery, t hen picks 5 skillsthat mastery can reach and says "glhf"

[near vapor]

talking about poe here might actually be a selling point for lost epoch lmfao

[placid hazel]

in fact i sent this to 2 of my freinds

saw this on reddit

so we did

thats how i started

with my fissure lock lmao

[languid fulcrum]

lol, nice

[placid hazel]

the very fact that somone can make a wheel of builds

and theres 200+ damn builds on that list

and almost all of them are viable

it's beautiful

[languid fulcrum]

I should roll that for my next solo character, actually

.. it rolled same mastery, let's try that again

[placid hazel]

https://wheelofnames.com/8bp-a5u

[languid fulcrum]

Black hole sorc, I just did that last season :kekw:

[placid hazel]

i quit

[native sail]

@icy drift it thinks I'm you

[languid fulcrum]

I've done too many builds, took me like 6 tries to get something I haven't done recently
Bleed Falconer? Did it last season. Shield bash forge guard? Yup. Black hole sorc? Done and dusted.
Finally it landed on shield throw forge guard, which I haven't done

It actually landed on bleed falconer twice

[near vapor]

sign from god

[placid hazel]

see if u can make it work with the bugged wildfire

infernal shade fissure wildfire ignite

in theory it should be a map clearing god

[languid fulcrum]

I literally just did that build like 2 months ago tho (the falconer)

[placid hazel]

but i cant sustain enough ignite stacks to summon enough whisps

the idea of summoning 10+ fissures that cost no mana

and all pop shades

is so sexy

as well as random shades being casted all the time

[fierce lagoon]

When I launch the game, I receive an error message: [LE-52] Can't connect to login server, please check your internet connection.

I have already checked my internet connection, and it is stable and working fine. All other online services and games are functioning normally on my network. This issue appears to be specific to the Last Epoch login server.

Can you help me ?

[placid hazel]

idk if theres any kind of ipblocking region blocking, etc.

i'd start by restarting steam and your pc and then your modem

if none of those work

try a different dns or a vpn

if that somehow doesnt work

support ticket angle

[fierce lagoon]

ty, i did this steps
Hello Traveler,

Your request (68955) has been received and is being reviewed by our support staff.

[placid hazel]

so in this order:

restart steam
restart pc
change dns
try vpn or different ip (ideally one with an exit node close to the game server you're trying to connect to)

[green edge]

does CoF rep grow when you reroll prophecies?
or only when you buy them?

[placid hazel]

anytime you spend favor of any kind you gain reputation

so rerolling the page will give favor

but since it only costs like 250 to reroll

[green edge]

so it's former, gotcha

[placid hazel]

its barely noticable

yup

[languid fulcrum]

Yeah, I ranked up through rerolls once and was like "wut"

Well, time to start that shield throw build the wheel gave me.
Wish me luck. It's forge guard, so I'll need it.

[placid hazel]

the items that can be upgraded from kiling harbingers

do they have to be equipped

or just in inventory?

[storm blaze]

equipped

[placid hazel]

eeew

ty

[placid hazel]

Gl not falling asleep

[languid fulcrum]

Yeah, it kinda gross, but the property it gains is usually nothing mindblowing so meh

[storm blaze]

Yeah
I don't like them tbh

[placid hazel]

so useless reward tied to a tedious and irritating mechanic

yeah no wonder i have never heard about this untill now

despite having 1k hours on LE

[languid fulcrum]

Might be some merit to the one-handed club with the endurance threshold it gives but that's the only one I can think of off-hand

[placid hazel]

any idea what this one gives? and does it affect affixes that are transferable or only the implicit base?

[unkempt delta]

they are always the same implicit bonus

[placid hazel]

so it just buffs the implicit?

[languid fulcrum]

Ward decay threshold

It adds a new property, but it's always the same one

[placid hazel]

holy crap thats lame lol

so unless this was a t8 primoridal with double t7s or some crazy impossible outcome id never care

[languid fulcrum]

The mace is kinda okay if you need defense, % of max HP as threshold is pretty solid

I might try to get one for the main hand on my bleed lich if I get the gloves, so I can convert non-bleed suffix to bleed. Kinda a pie-in-the-sky thing tho.
(Endurance threshold REALLY good with corrupted form.)

(Maces can't normally have bleed suffix IIRC)

[placid hazel]

rune of redemptions make me sad man

they're so promising

then you spend 100 and never get anything good

[languid fulcrum]

Rune of False Hope

[placid hazel]

yeah

[silver path]

even without any really big boosts i almost have my hp being my endurance threshold

[placid hazel]

i keep deluding myself into being able to turn a double t7 into something useful

[languid fulcrum]

Yeah, it'll depend on what gear I get. But with that 30% more HP multi on the passive itself, max HP gonna get REAL big I think

[placid hazel]

and they're always deadstatted on the slot i need for the item lmao

[silver path]

what does redemption do again?

[near vapor]

@silver path did you see the clip i posted above of the charge wind up animation?

[placid hazel]

glyph of chaos for t6/t7

[limpid steeple]

Could someone tell me how do i put this modifier on gloves in the current patch please?

[placid hazel]

rune prison woven echo

they're no longer sealed or can be sealed, runes of research are gone

[silver path]

nah just came back here again

[placid hazel]

the rune prison woven echo lets you craft it onto the item

[languid fulcrum]

Drops from mage kills

[placid hazel]

they also drop from mages yeah
