[native sail]

Play my psychopath build

[icy drift]

It looks kinda decent tbh

No fundamental is a crime though

[native sail]

Fundamental is cringe

[icy drift]

Yeah but it's like 5x damage

And it works with Gordian prism

[native sail]

I plan things to be amusing not good

[icy drift]

Would it be less fun because it's better? Lul

[native sail]

If they're good that means 1) I've failed and 2) the build is not interesting anymore

[icy drift]

Or because you can't spoon

I mean it's still ass

But like maybe you can kill Abby ass

[native sail]

Abby is dogshit, why would I make builds to play content that sucks

[icy drift]

Shiet

What's the minimum threshold benchmark

300c? Like eterra herself intended

[native sail]

I consider things successful if it can run 500c really. I've started disliking playing the game too much to go further than that regularly

[icy drift]

This feels like when I was so bored I played old tempest strike to 300c

[native sail]

To give you an idea of where I'm at with LE burnout, I've put more time into both Hero Siege and PoE2's latest patches than the past 3 of LE's combined

[blazing glacier]

could you use the runebolt thing to spam cast Runic Invo?

oh you dont even have cooldown on runic, neat

all these RI nodes work with indirect cast though, could be interesting

whoa that gives me a cool idea holup

[faint cape]

Pretty sure the tendrils node says it doesn't make tendrils if you convert detonating arrow

[icy drift]

you're correct

[native sail]

Report back soon, I like weird ideas

[icy drift]

I was actually cooking with gordian prism before this season dropped but then my brain went why do all this weird stuff for an okay result when you can just do something way simpler that's stronger. Sometimes I hate that I can't just commit to something goofy

[blazing glacier]

You just spam runebolt then tap Runic every so often

with the random runes and get different 3 every time, also recoveringmana

kinda neat

but then runic itself also shoots stuff if you take that one node

[icy drift]

For runic energizer?

[blazing glacier]

yea

also a lot of ward from this

[icy drift]

What's the average amount you'd go before a repetition if it's completely random

there's 27 total right

if you always do 3

[blazing glacier]

idk

[icy drift]

Yeah pretty sure you basically have a 3.7% chance to repeat each time

should be able to get a decent chunk of stacks on average

[blazing glacier]

seems like 8k+ ward just slapping it on my character

[icy drift]

too bad it caps at 15 stacks

oh wait

arcane battery

we're cooking

does copied scrolls repeat more than once if you get it over 100%?

[blazing glacier]

i forget tbh, tested that one ages ago

[icy drift]

if it does you can get it to cast 5 times per cast at max stacks with arcane battery lol

that doesn't sound right lmao

If you get enough mana sustain for arcane battery generation this goes hard

[blazing glacier]

there was a time when someone had some runic oneshot setup with static orbs or something

being autocast

[icy drift]

Yeah you wanna be casting something that costs over 100 mana for sure

Wait does arcane battery work on procced skills?

it doesn't say direct cast

you can cast both static orb and RI with flame rush

and then just mana sustain with runebolts

go butcher's crown with ladle

[rocky rapids]

the targeting of SO from flame rush is abysmal

[icy drift]

You're not doing damage with SO

it's just to spend mana

[blazing glacier]

the runebolt random rune thing kinda trolls, but the regular cast doesn't seem like it changes sequence

[rocky rapids]

volcanic orb is probably easier to dump mana with without investment

you need 1k mana to hit the max cost for SO iirc

[icy drift]

1k mana is easy tbh

[rocky rapids]

i mean like, yeah, just you don’t have to give up affixes for volcanic orb to hit a similar mana cost

[icy drift]

Yeah not wrong

[hexed bough]

ayo my mac gamer goats hows your experience with tryna play this game on crossover on one of the silcon based macs?

[shut walrus]

question... if I slam my shattered worlds relic with a sentinel relic it turns the outcome of the shattered worls into sentinel so i cant wear it on rogue?

[faint cape]

Only if a sentinel-only affix gets slammed onto it. For relics, that just means +levels will lock it to sentinel.

[shut walrus]

thanks so much

[hearty scarab]

Hi, I'm pretty new and reached level 70. My question is how to get the gear I want/need in early game

[storm blaze]

Hello there
What kind of gear are you looking for?
I hope you remember to use the forge to upgrade on your gear

[hearty scarab]

I thought I would use a planner for my first char and would try to get these items mentioned there. To be honest I did not use the forge a lot ... I don't understand how and when to use it

[storm blaze]

You can open it at any time by pressing F (can't remember what the button is if you're on WASD controls)
you just place an item there and then click the up arrows next to affixes and click forge
And right, saying you're using a planner doesn't say much here

[fallen hull]

Is this game goingg to have pvp contenta soon?

[storm blaze]

no

[quiet citrus]

Hello guys, if I want to try a double t7 on this item, is imprint a good way? Or is it better to try it on nemesis? Remembering that my class is Lich.

[hearty scarab]

I'm unsure atm tired beastmaster and did not really enjoy the play style. Thinking of switching to another build on the Primalist or new character.. so best is to take gear with food forge potential and add the stats I want?

[storm blaze]

I'd start with something that has affixes you want
like if you're dealing phys dmg you'd want to go for something with % increased phys dmg for example
skill levels are valuable too

[hearty scarab]

Okay.. thanks man. A lot for a new player haha

[storm wren]

To be more accurate, more flat melee damage (any types are fine, you'll notice melee fire/melee void/melee cold damage etc) + more increased physical damage

[storm blaze]

Well you don't really get much benefit from increased melee fire when you're doing physical.

Sure you still get the flat dmg and that is scaled by your possible increased fire dmg

[blazing glacier]

To "add" an extra T7 through imprint you must first pass the roll check to keep the T7 you already have and then you must pass the <1% chance check to add an extra T7. You will eventually get 77 from imprint but nemesis or prophecy should be quicker

[night locust]

Played s3 a bunch, now installed the game on my deck and wanted to start from scratch - any fast leveler to recommend? So i can breeze through the campaign (im gonna play offline)

[dusty dust]

Anyone know if it is possible to wipe the season / cycle to start fresh? (I'm offline mode) I played HC and it's full of items tabs and I want to start all over again.

[icy drift]

If you're offline you can just delete your stash file

(can always back it up so you can get your stuff back if you want)

[dusty dust]

That's amazing, do you happen to know richly where file is located/called? Could not find anything on Google search

[icy drift]

appdata -> locallow -> Eleventh hour games -> Last epoch -> saves

[faint cape]

If you open your loot filters folder from the in game dialog, that will also take you almost there, just gotta go up one folder level from there

[dusty dust]

Maybe I was mistaken.. I renamed Saves to another name, and started the game ,and it just downloaded all the saved files as if I didn't do anything

[icy drift]

Try disabling steam cloud sync for the game

or just editing the file with the game running

[dusty dust]

Disabling Cloud Sync, deleting the Save folder, did indeed reset me back to Launch Feel! Thank you @icy drift

[plush patio]

What's the best way to work your way up to a desirable double t7? Just nemesis until you get any double t7, seal off one of the affixes, and imprint that?

I guess what seems harder to me is how to go about crafting a good exalted item with all desirable stats.
Do I just start by imprinting a double t7 with any stats, craft + havoc it into something with maybe 1-2 of the stats I want as t7, and then re-imprint that? And go from there until I get an item with all four of the stats I want?

Also can imprints drop with set affixes, or is the only way to get those is to craft and seal it?

[ripe wasp]

There's a couple videos floating around on the best strat but yes nemesis until you get double T7. You want a T1 in the third slot and an open slot in the fourth. The affixes barely matter, there's a slim chance of seeing the exact one

Once the imprint procs. You seal the T1 then you have 2 open slots. Choose the 2 affixes you want and havoc to them

[plush patio]

Yeah, that makes sense for crafting items to slam, but I'm thinking for, say, lightning blast runemaster to craft the headpiece with a sealed set affix and t7 int+level of lightning blast + good suffixes
Is it just too insane to try for good suffixes on something like that? And just imprint any old double t7 suffix helm and only bother going for the set + int + level of lightning blast?

[ripe wasp]

The set affix won't proc on imprints

So leave an open prefix so you can slot the set then seal it. Same principle as I mentioned above for T7s

[plush patio]

Like I think the ideal situation would be dropping a double t7 of desired suffixes, then craft + seal the set, craft int + skill level, and havoc

But getting that double t7 with good suffixes naturally would probably require doing the whole process above again to get that base in the first place. So probably not super worth it

Like if I want res and health on it too or something. I'd want to drop a t7 res + health helm to craft on

[ripe wasp]

Yes. Good luck on getting the exact suffixes too lol

I guess you could redemption if enough forging potential

But lots of steps, lots of rng, lots of forging potential haha

[blazing umbra]

that's pretty much the endgame

imprint until you hit the craft

you won't hit it on the first item but you will many imprints down the line

[ripe wasp]

exalted with 4 ideal affixes and seal on a good base is pretty difficult but yeah with enough patience and grind, anything is possible

[blazing umbra]

hitting the double t7 + the seal is good enough. The suffixes are mostly there for survivability

[plush patio]

If I get a double t7 one suffix one prefix, and I want double suffix or prefix, should I havoc then imprint or just imprint and try to drop another double t7 from that? Not sure how impactful fp is to risk losing a lot via havoc

[ripe wasp]

i just settled for T5 int, T7 LB, sealed set, then like T5 health + random

[blazing umbra]

you can try to bring both on the other side of what you want

with subsequent imprints

you want say prefixes, imprint drops with good fp, you havoc + hope. if you got what you wanted, reimprint

[ripe wasp]

ideally you dont burn your first imprintable double T7. you use that to make more then craft them to the correct slots

[blazing umbra]

if not, try to craft

if craft also failed, keep grinding

(you want them on the opposite side of what you want because it makes sealing easier)

[ripe wasp]

another tip is that the sealed affix on the imprint can proc onto prefixes and suffixes at higher rate

so i would seal a lightning blast in this example

[plush patio]

Ohh interesting

[ripe wasp]

so probably something like this T1 prefix, open prefix, T7 suffix, T7 suffix, sealed lightning blast would be a great imprint

[rich grove]

guys does flat elemental damage adds damage to every kind of skill even though it isnt the same element skill?
Like flat fire damage adds damage to mana strike.

[plush patio]

I believe if the element is in the tag of the skill it'll add to it

So mana strike would have to have either cold, fire, lightning in its tags

[ripe wasp]

yes flat adds to everything

[rich grove]

Thankyouu

[ripe wasp]

% dmg only adds if there is flat dmg there (generally a tag)

but even if you added flat fire to a cold skill. %fire dmg would still do stuff (just less optimal)

[rain locust]

has the lich corrupted form passive (always count as low life) just not been working this whole time with nodes like dance with death (triple effect at low life)?

[last terrace]

is there any workaround for error le-94 when i try to group with my friend?

[rain locust]

if either of you is using a vpn, try without. or if there is a different LE server you can both connect to, try that.

[last terrace]

different LE server like the region you pick when logging in?

[rain locust]

yes

[last terrace]

okay, is it enough to change it ingame or do i need to log in with it?

[rain locust]

not sure, better to log all the way out and then re-log on the new server

[nimble bolt]

Is red Ring Of Atlaria one of those items that every build should have? I’ve noticed it is extremely rare and seems to be quite solid, however it does disrupt the build I’ve got right now a bit and doesn’t seem super beneficial for me compared to what I’m currently using. Is it one of those cases that’s situational or is this one of those “if you don’t have this on you’re putting yourself at a huge disadvantage” things

[south cloud]

anyone know this issue?

[rain locust]

it's great for most builds, but not every single build needs it. typically the combo of all stats / all res / damage reduction is unbeatable by the endgame, but there might be some cases it isn't

[blazing glacier]

I basically made an entire video going over this exact scenario with crafting steps and different options. You definitely want to imprint whatever base you have and always keep at least one clean imprint that you aren't crafting. You will probably need quite a few iterations to also have good suffixes though, basically get good imprint, make it slightly better, re-imprint.

[nimble bolt]

I’m using legends entwined on my sorcerer and one of my set bonuses is the jewelry one which requires my other ring to have the set affix on it to get me that extra skill point, plus the additional skill point, stats, and resistance I get for completing the set with legends entwined, you think red ring would outweigh the benefit I get from the set bonus + legends entwined? I’m using a lightning blast build so I need all the skill points for that ability that I can get my hands on xD

[blazing glacier]

You can't use a seal to craft this item though so any affix you dont like will need to be either removal'd or redemptioned before havoc shuffle.

[nimble bolt]

I wish you could put set affixes on uniques with LP

That would probably be too powerful though lol

[plush patio]

If you can cap your resistances without red ring I think ferebor is good just for the extra int tbh (I assume that's the one you're talking about). Feel like they're probably fairly comparable though

[blazing glacier]

Hello, I made one of build guides for this. TLDR is that Red Ring is more comfortable than Ferebor reforged for echos but worse for single target. Without LP definitely don't use RR though

[nimble bolt]

Ferbor?

I’m using invokers frozen hard and invokers touch for the set bonus that gives +1 to lightning fire and ice spells

Heart*

[blazing glacier]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/FrozenSentinel/character/PrimeFrozen here is my current character

[nimble bolt]

I’m playing a cold sorcerer

[blazing glacier]

oh nvm, thought you were LB too

[nimble bolt]

I’ll take a peek

Lightning blast with cold modifier

[blazing glacier]

Are you doing spark charge with cold LB?

[nimble bolt]

No spark charge

I’m doing a home brew build I don’t like following guides xD

[blazing glacier]

ohhhh yeah nvm then. But yeah Ferebor ring is really good for the set complete with Legends Entwined

[nimble bolt]

I’ll link my current setup in a sec

[blazing glacier]

Yea its comparable. Red Ring is better for echos and Double T7 Julra Stardial is better for Single Target imo.

Ferebor is a decent middleground that doesn't require a swap

[plush patio]

Oh double stardial and forego the vilatria bonus? O_o

[blazing glacier]

no, just one

[plush patio]

Ohh sorry misread

[blazing glacier]

I mean T7 int T7 spell damage

[nimble bolt]

I’ve always found following build guides boring personally xD I like to experiment with stuff and figure out what works on my own usually

[blazing glacier]

Same ironically

[nimble bolt]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/om3M0MrQ

this is my current iteration of the build and I’m finding decent success right now. I can mostly comfortably play at 500 corruption. I’m working on replacing my helm with another set piece to get more of those delicious bonuses from legends entwined

[plush patio]

I usually kinda follow the broad strokes of builds but might not necessarily go with the exact same nodes on the tree

One thousand mana?!??

[nimble bolt]

I honestly avoid looking at them altogether

[nimble bolt]

I burn through mana very quick with lightning blast xD and having over 1000 triples the bonus on one of the sorcerer tree perks, giving me +15 spell damage

The archmage passive

[plush patio]

Also this is a kinda random question, but are there cosmetics from previous seasons that are no longer available or something? I swear I have seen a video with a rune bolt or lightning blast vfx that isn't in the shop. But I could just be misremembering

[nimble bolt]

With 1000 mana I get 105% chance to refund 20% of mana cost for spells and also +15 spell damage

[blazing glacier]

Sometimes twitch rewards and stuff, I think supporter packs sometimes have skill mtx?

but yeah I think the yellow LB was limited iirc

[plush patio]

Dang, rip lol

[nimble bolt]

Even with 1000 mana I burn through it fast enough that I switched from teleport to focus with the teleport node 😂

And the focus node feels pretty cool to use honestly

Shorter cooldown than teleport and I just like the fantasy of it

[blazing glacier]

If you take one point out of the +LB chain node that adds mana cost you will have the same amount of re-chains with -3 flat mana cost

its / 2 rounded up

[nimble bolt]

Wait really?? :0

I did not know that, so that won’t hurt my damage at all?

[blazing glacier]

correct

[nimble bolt]

Yoooo thanks I had no idea

Is that something I’d have been able to tell if I’d read more carefully or is that like,,, technical knowledge I’d have had to look up

[blazing glacier]

I think it's in the alt tooltip

[nimble bolt]

Yeah I did not read through carefully enough

Thank you! That’ll give me a point to put elsewhere

[blazing glacier]

also that shattershock node is insane damage, its two seperate more multis

if going for hit based LB anyway

[nimble bolt]

I am going for hit based, I will look into that

I may not like guides but I am always open to tips and advice on what got currently

[blazing glacier]

Another fun fact, those spark nova nodes basically count as an extra LB hit for each LB hits. It pretty much is double DPS

[nimble bolt]

What I got*

[nimble bolt]

But will that still work considering the fact that my build is built around cold damage and not shock damage?

Wouldn’t spark nova deal lightning damage? Or is that converted to cold? The tooltip on what is and isn’t converted to cold is a bit confusing in some cases

[blazing glacier]

Honestly I don't remember but even if it isn't converted it will still get all the added damage you have

[nimble bolt]

That’s a good point

I will do some testing on the practice dummies

I just saw the word “shock” and assumed it was for lightning damage 😂

[blazing glacier]

maybe try this? I think it should give a lot more dps

[nimble bolt]

I did notice a weird quirk with ice barrage yesterday, and maybe you can help me

[nimble bolt]

Thank you! I’ll look into that

Giving me lots of new stuff to test out

My build has evolved a lot since I first started the character lmfao

That’s why I like home brewing stuff, lets me experiment and learn things on my own, following a guide just isn’t fun for me

Not knocking people who like or make guides

It’s just not my thing

[blazing glacier]

yea that's fair, making guides is also just a lot of experimenting and math

basically what you are doing, except with spreadsheets and hours of testing random things

[nimble bolt]

I’ll definitely take the advice you have given me and test stuff out once I get home from work though, I appreciate it! I’m still quite new to this game

I think, currently, the only major gripes I have with the game are the fact that there’s no quest reward for completing the huge Aberroth quest chain, that felt pretty underwhelming, and the god awful settings for searching for idols in the bazaar compared to literally every other bazaar stall

[blazing glacier]

the reward is the friends we made along the way

[nimble bolt]

30k xp is what I got for that massive quest chain. That is not even .01% of half a bar of xp at the level I was

😭😭😭

Would’ve been nice to get like, another boost to all my stats, or maybe the first time you beat him you get an entire level’s worth of xp or something

Cuz I imagine most people beat him for the first time before lvl 100

[versed garden]

hello, sorry for the propably stupid question but i didnt find the answer anywhere, is it possible to imprint T8 item and make it drop T8 affixes this way?

[icy drift]

no

[versed garden]

so i have to farm my T7 reduced channel cost until i find a good one and then use rune of evolution to make it T8?

[icy drift]

Correct

[versed garden]

glad for the easy answer

oh but

[icy drift]

np ^^

[versed garden]

imprinted channel reduction makes it drop as sealed

and i cant use rune of evolution on sealed

[paper magnet]

Only Warlord's Riches does that. Don't use that one

[versed garden]

so i have to do good item ->rune of havoc->rune of evolution?

[paper magnet]

That's the easiest way

[versed garden]

damn

good that you can equip only one of those

[nimble bolt]

Ahhh you’re doing runemaster neat

[teal ibex]

does a value over 100% conversion here do anything? would you get like double base damage with 200% conversion?

[icy drift]

No

[teal ibex]

cool, next question, why the hell is max roll T7 of that stat 96%?

like come on

make it 100

[ripe wasp]

i mean you have this node in the tree so its kinda irrelevant

[plush patio]

I have to believe that Aberroth and the Harbingers is the chapter 13 we'll eventually get once we get 11 and 12 to close the gap we have now 🙏

[plush patio]

what is the best way to farm amber quickly early on? to rank up woven faction. is it just the old standby of lostwood folly + lost temple?

[ripe wasp]

imprint rampant coast woven echo on weaver tree both slots, it spawns like crazy. you get mats and spend them at the beast vendor for 5k amber bags

[plush patio]

oh, should also have specified, not at 300 corruption yet lol

....I guess "get to 300 corruption" is probably the answer too huh

[rocky rapids]

i’m not sure what the corruption requirement is for the one with the rift beast champions, that one performs fairly similarly in terms of reward output it’s just longer and more difficult

if that’s not an option then probably just folly + reweaving would be the highest output pre 300c

[shy turret]

bloodline glade is 100 req. i'd say not worth doing that, takes too long and pretty difficult

folly/temple over folly/reweaving at low character powers i reckon, especially if you need to be carried a bit by the shrines

[plush patio]

yeah I did it for the first time and it took a few deaths x_x the rng on the evolutions is rough

[shy turret]

unless you want more idols, then it's a toss up

[hallow yarrow]

For anyone farming Primordia's I found a great way to do it. Go to the Divine Era and travel to Heobora. Center map main town. Travel north to Farwood. Its a small map mostly shaped like a triangle. Find the Primordial on the map and kill it. Then travel out with "T" You'll go back to Heoborea. Then go back through your own portal and repeat. Traveling out resets the map. I have been able to do on average about 1 per minute. The locations of the primordia's is not static but random. The map is low level. Just walk around and everything dies. You'll start to learn the randomness and remember where they usually are.

[sonic saddle]

By "primodia's" do you mean rift beast parts?

[hallow yarrow]

Yes, I thought that was understood. I guess I needed to explain in detail for the slow crowd to keep up.

[sonic saddle]

well..
A: you are the only person i've ever seen refer to the rift beast itself as a "primordial", other people only ever refer to the items with that
B: the way you explained things plus multiple instances of spelling it as "primordia" gave me the impression english isn't your first language so i decided to ask for clarification.
C: you're frankly a bit late on farming methods and the farming method itself isn't great as farming them inside monoliths is far better due to significantly larger base amounts of dropped bones from area level and the gold bonus from zerrick triggers applying to bones.

[fair flax]

hi, my portal skin is not reflected after completed echo objectives. is it a bug, being fixed? it's a bit disappointing.

[desert tree]

Are you sure you picked the right Portal category ?

[fair flax]

uh, ty! I didnt see that. but why its divided?

[desert tree]

The distinction is here to allow you to get 2 different portals to see if the echo is finished or not

Sometime if you dont pay attention and open your portal you will see a different portal and be like " Oh, not finished"

Before we had portal mtx we had a blue portal for non finished echoes and a green one for finished echoes

[fair flax]

hmm.

[desert tree]

When portal mtx were first introduced we lost that difference

People asked to get it back

[fair flax]

oh, blue and green they are! i see. hmm, thanks anyway.

[storm wren]

lol alright my damage still very moving

Horn of bone wisp don't change so much. It require the arena space is big enough to rush freely too

[desert tree]

Oo

Thats very little dmg, what is supposed to do dmg ?

[icy drift]

This feels like it should be a brand of deception build but there's no brand of deception lol

[storm wren]

Oh yes. The reason is horn of bone wisp have poor 24 flat spell damage only. My dps even less after changed my wand...

Reowyn's fortress is the only available caster weapon.

[safe bough]

whenever im talking to an npc my char walks right into them. Is there a way to just stand in front of npcs and talk? It looks kinda weird

oh and, is there an official wiki and pls dont tell me it's fandom...

[storm wren]

I can't use poe 2's logic to play le lol... + skill level is a big bonus in poe 2 but don't work in le always

[deep moon]

there's Lastepochtools - it's kind of a wiki. and you can walk within like 10 meters radius after initiating conversation

[safe bough]

gotcha thanks

[deep moon]

there's also a Last Epoch section on Maxroll. good for explanation on numerous crafting mechanics.

[safe bough]

these cosmetic skill effects, do they change something btw.? Ive clicked on one but it didnt change anything

[deep moon]

it should be very clear when you equipped a cosmetic. i don't use any myself, so dunno what else to say.

like, if it's a skill cosmetic, it will be very noticeable

[safe bough]

ah got it, you gotta buy them first, i guess

[novel lotus]

Ppl using the unique Primordial are as fierce as dragons and tigers, so why does my sister look like a sick cat when she holds it?

[dense jay]

Crouching 🐅, hidden 🐈

[mighty jewel]

Does the bluefeather band affect this node on earthquake?

[icy drift]

I'd assume no

[mighty jewel]

Damn, was hoping it would

[icy drift]

Should be pretty straight forward to test. but generally consuming is not the same as increasing cost

[mighty jewel]

I dont have the resources to test, and cba farming atm

[desert tree]

Mana Cost =/= Mana Consumed

So no

[shut walrus]

will we have to pay for the expansion when it comes out?

[faint cape]

The official answer is "maybe"

[storm wren]

EHG just don't want to let players feel too disappointing so they don't give clear answer but I can guess the result. I hope the result go better with an unexpecting way.

[storm wren]

I find the term Olam taught me is quite useful...
All the best, EHG

I want runemaster and marksman to work well in game again 🤔

(all people flood in general now lol)

[storm wren]

Slow mode is come back xd

[storm wren]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/QWkDvp9Q @calm schooner maybe you will have fun with this build if you want to try marksman

[neon compass]

Biggest issue is mana sustain. It's why I hope to see more upgrades 🤔

You need to cast cinder strike or just shift to get mana after heartseeker drain all mana in th pool. Cinder strike has less damage than heartseeker.

The most impressive build I find in le

[calm schooner]

Rogue is the one class I'd never touch in HC

[storm wren]

lol

I can understand that completely

Come on, rogue

[calm schooner]

Primalist is the one class I won't touch, regardless of game mode

[storm wren]

Storm totem shaman is the only build from primalist I can find fun

The efficiency to clear enemies as a melee is worse than as a caster a lot because of aoe ability

[hallow yarrow]

Just trying to help and I thought I would share something that I learned. I guess I didn't live up to your standards and no English is not my first language but thanks for showing how little class you have. I'll just not ever offer help on this forum again.

[sonic saddle]

You immediately decided to be rude when asked for the slightest bit of clarification

Don't get indignant when people aren't as polite as possible in reply

[storm wren]

Today's sleep: Imagine what Van's cat looks

[icy drift]

It resets your web and gives you corruption

[teal ibex]

if you go over "100% of X damage taken as physical", are you then taking more damage? or is % above 100 just not doing anything?

[toxic echo]

doesnt do anything

[teal ibex]

fantastic

[willow lantern]

in what region are shield prophecies ?

[candid elm]

Eos, East, in with the Weapons

[willow lantern]

opk thanks. are shield included in unnique weapons ?

[candid elm]

No, looks like those are just Weapons

But the off hands, Shield, Quiver, and Catalyst, are also in the Eos section

[willow lantern]

thank you

[plush patio]

does the rune prison complex woven echo have a higher chance of dropping from rune mages in tombs/cemeteries or is it just rng.....I've literally not seen one in two entire seasons x_x

[ripe wasp]

I've seen them drop from the wardens who drop the prison but yeah it's pretty rng regardless

[plush patio]

so rampant coast doesn't seem to be amber or bones positive....? to buy them, at least
should I just imprint them and buy some other woven echoes to throw down a line of, and hope they proc rampant coast as I reveal more?

[old kettle]

hey guys so legacy characters get the same content as seasonal characters right?

[faint cape]

Yeah, just imprint. All the new beast echoes spawn super often as imprints for some reason.

[plush patio]

will there always be a beast rift in normal echoes? or is it still a chance for them to spawn with one?

[spice willow]

is health regen + health and dmg reflect weaver idol rare?

[plush patio]

I've mostly just been clearing to the objective but I might keep searching the map for the rift if there's always one

[spice willow]

or is there a trick to it?

[old kettle]

guys how do I unlock tombs of the erased again?

[old kettle]

guys I think there is a bug on the magma caverns the quest to destroy the soul furnaces I can't find the last furnace cause they are invisible

fuuucckkk I can't find man 😭

I found it at last it's on the freaking middle of the map I just found it by just standing still and let it attack me wtf

[desert tree]

Yeah that invisible mob bug is a biatch

[old kettle]

bruh I instantly submitted a bug report

[mystic sparrow]

how do i save my graphic and resolution settings? like i'm a windowed mode player, i play on 1600x900 windowed but everytime open the game it resets back to the original 1920x1080 borderless setting

help

[oblique mulch]

ya got nvidia or sum other software mayb causing reset perhaps

[storm wren]

Show...All lizard tails???! 😲

I wonder if Mike get one though

[calm schooner]

So what's the "farming meta" at the moment? I've seen a lot of videos with a lot of different strategies.

[icy drift]

Pretty much just trying to get good items to imprint and then slowly making your imprinted item better and better

Nemesis is a really good source for starting imprints

Outside of that you usually wanna be spamming woven echoes, either false temples or troves or something with follies for sustain

[calm schooner]

I meant specifics. 😄
I've seen Folly + Cemetery layout combined with Folly + Trove layout.
I've seen Folly + Rampant Coast.
I've seen people spamming other nodes.

[icy drift]

You do whichever you need at the time

Rampant coast is for the rift beast system

mainly for farming your primordial

trove is for generic items and imprints

[faint cape]

It's pretty rare, no trick to it aside from getting as many small weaver idols as possible

[faint cape]

Look at the game chat when you first enter each echo. If that echo has a rift, it will print a line in the chat mentioning a nearby rift.

[plush patio]

oh awesome, that's great to know

[plush patio]

I think what I'm planning on doing is just a line of trove or nemesis tower depending on what I'm farming, and do rampant coast when they show up on the side from imprints

with rampant coast you don't really need folly for amber farming

[calm schooner]

I will do it like this, thank you

[spice willow]

yea the guide has all of them with health on it..i have 0 lol, just mostly healing effectiveness

[faint cape]

Definitely a stretch goal, I'm assuming you're doing a reflect build, I'd focus on the reflect affix and just hope to eventually fill in ones with health also as a long term thing

[spice willow]

yeah i have all reflect, just less health

only 3.4k hp

haven't tried uber abberoth

#feedback message

#feedback message

@calm schooner

I am really wondering how you would change all these problems you see in this game. You basically have something against every nuonce of crafting and saying POE is much more friendly to interact with and more deterministic.
"In PoE2, once you have farmed your ingredients (base, Omens, Essences) and have come up with a recipe, you're rewarded by being able to follow a recipe to guarantee your desired item deterministically. Tiered Orbs, Essences & Omens let you guarantee affixes of specific levels / tiers, tags, types, making it fully deterministic."

In LE it is the very same, just executed differently with the glyphs and runes and as for LE through the loot filter aswell.

I guess you had a few frustrating moments in the crafting process, like everyone else too, which seem to be the reason to write all that, but you have the same pattern in PoE aswell.

You can craft any wanted stat in LE and shuffle everything to its glory. You can even copy items during the process and mass drop them through the weaver tree. You get THE EXACT SAME through this method. As for PoE, getting decent rares is just gated behind very specific league contents you should focus your entire atals around, combined with all the currency you need.
As for uniques with 2LP and 3LP being worthless?
Not sure what makes you think that... because you do not get everything you want as a 100% guarantee? Should we see a Level 5 Julra version that lets us guarantee all stats we want, depending on the LP value? Would that be fun? Would it only be rewarding with just guarantees?
In LE its more of a quantity approach yes, IF you are unlucky, but there is still enough room for the player that directly rewards you without that much rng layers.

Having everything as 3LP and 4LP is not necessary for most builds and for the best items even 1LP is enough. If you have them, you don't have to have two or three T7 on them to make them good. There HAS to be some sort of rng and sometimes you lose and sometimes you win. In the past, you seem to have lost a bit.... i guess you need to live with that, it won't hurt that much then.

If you have that much of a problem with the crafting sys, sry gambling system, it might not be the game for you. You seem to not even trying to see the positives there, which is sad.

Why do you think it is possible for players to clear everything in 1-3 days of season playtime, even one day? There IS enough reward in the game and the game itself give you enough room to survive in non-perfect gear. Balancing would be the bigger problem here, but it is not the crafting system. It defenetly is NOT perfect, but it very player friendly.

I know how losing crafts feel, but what is the solution to all that?
It would be interesting to hear, what approach you would take to fix all that. Any ideas? 🙂

[storm wren]

I wonder which theme of the new cycle is if the epoch become red like palette of this dungeon one day. Relevant to blood obviously

[spice willow]

dunno if you would say that about 1-3 days with off-meta builds

like PoE, the build needs to be built correctly

some builds can just do well as expensive builds

[cunning canyon]

But meta builds follow the same crafting pattern, they need less crafting success yes, but for non-top builds its not the crafting system, that is the problem, its the balancing.
As for crafting, off meta crafting is the same, progress is the same, steps are more or less the same. The hunger for success is bigger, but in the end its the same. Even with guaranteed 3LP success crafts or 2LP, they will not perform as good as them. If you would losen the screws to non-meta builds to make them better, the other side gets the same benefit, thus making the balance state even worse...

So again, thats why i would like to hear solutions/ideas to liliths expirience, which is not wrong, partially i agree with it.

Just a discussion, how it could look, thats not an offensive statement. 🙂

[spice willow]

ah yeah..i just think skill trees should be more consistent, there are some nodes that get in the way..and more variety

necro minions for example, there are some minions missing one type of damage that others minions can convert to

so some builds have dilemma with building just one type of damage because other minions don't have that type

archers are physical for example, fire or ice arrow is only a bonus

[plush patio]

so if I want T7 int + T7 move speed for slams, this is the ideal imprint right?

also if I haven't yet got a double T7 for a particular gear type, should I imprint a double T6 or a T6+T7 and hope it will upgrade? or is that unlikely and I should just go with nemesis until I find a natural double T7 of the equipment type I need?

[meager junco]

T7+T6 if you don't run nemesis towers

[shut walrus]

for shattered worlds is the 10% less damage taken means you take 10% less damage or is there math involved?

[meager junco]

whatever damage you were taking before equipping it, multiply it by .9

[shut walrus]

I am wondering what I should put into my suffix. Dexterity or damage per equipped dagger? What does more damage? I'm a shadow cascade bladedancer

[icy drift]

You mean prefix right

[shut walrus]

yes sorry

im not sure how good increased damage per dagger is

dexterity is more straight forward

[icy drift]

I mean what does dex do for you

[shut walrus]

it increases the damage of shadow cascade

since thats a dexterity skill

[icy drift]

Yes

It gives 4% increased per dex

[shut walrus]

but what about equipped daggers

[icy drift]

So just pick whichever gives the bigger number

It's not per dagger btw

It's just while wielding a dagger

[shut walrus]

ahhh

[icy drift]

So it's literally just do 4*dex and compare that to the number on the dagger affix

[shut walrus]

well i have a sword in main hand and dagger in offhand anyway

[calm schooner]

The game says I have the ability to use this Blessing on this character at minimum roll. How?
I can't click on it or do anything.

[toxic echo]

Go to the blessing npc

In end of time

[calm schooner]

Found it, ty

[toxic echo]

Right in front of the monolith entrance

[spice willow]

specific affix tends to give higher % compared to attributes like dex, but dex gives you dodge rating along with dmg increease to dex skills including melee, bow, and throwing damage if you mix it up, dex is better

[shut walrus]

yeah I figured that so I got dex instead. I have a high dodge rating so more dodge is always good

[calm schooner]

Pinging people just to insult them (sorry, "tell them the game isn't for them") is pretty cringe.
I do not wish interaction, please refrain from pinging me.

[spice willow]

yeah but i think the cap is at 85% and maybe it has diminishing return like armor does

[shut walrus]

while in combat I have between 75-81% dodge chance

outside of combat it shows as 66%

[spice willow]

cool, just remember it depends on area level so higher area level the more dodge rating needed

[shut walrus]

is there a chart that will list this? like what corruption is what dodge chance or something

I'm at 2.2k corruption

[spice willow]

i dont think corruption affects the stats whatsoever, just area level which is maxed at 100

[shut walrus]

well what is dodge rating at level 100?

[spice willow]

higher corruption just increase mobs' health and dmg

[shut walrus]

I see

I know I'm dodging a lot. I see the word "dodge" very often

all the time too

[spice willow]

according to formula on google - 10 x area level(100) = 1000 dodge rating and that will get you to 50%

you probably have much more dodge rating than 1000 and then there's circumstances from your passives and skills that give you more

[shut walrus]

my dodge rating is 2765

[spice willow]

yeah

[shut walrus]

it increased to 8000+ in combat

increases

[spice willow]

yea but im not sure if it has DR like armor does, but yeah you are good to go i think

[shut walrus]

this is my build https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/Big_Mike69/character/Blade_Mikey

[spice willow]

yeah im wrong - area level also includes corruption, but I can't find the formula..but yeah you have a lot of it already

[toxic echo]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/dodge

[dusty dust]

Finallyt dropped my first Herald of the Scurry helmet in last epoch. Can you reroll stats if it is a "low roll"? If I use weaver to imprint it, will it greatly increase chances of more of this helmet dropping? Can I complete 300 corruption with low roll helm? Do Squirrels use WOlf tree or no tree at all?

[faint cape]

Rerolling it requires another copy to sacrifice and is something you may do later.
Yes, Weaver imprints will help a ton!
You should be able to do fine, but you'll want to work towards at least a 1 LP with decent rolls, which the imprint will help with, just be sure to replace your old imprint with better ones as you get them.
Squirrels use the wolf tree

[dusty dust]

awesome thank you!

[calm schooner]

I'm getting really confused because I just reached 330c in Reign of Dragons, spamming that dragon, and still haven't seen the all resistances Blessing pop up even once lol

[meager junco]

happens

[calm schooner]

excited about going for rampant coasts now that I have 300c but I heard of people getting one tapped with 7k ward and I'm scared

[nimble bolt]

Does Lightning Aegis just give a flat 25% damage recieved reduction regardless of the damage type?

[faint cape]

Yes, while it's up you take 25% less damage from everything. Also worth noting the shield has 'health' equal to 25% of your max health and will break after you've taken that much damage, not actually when you lose 25% of your health as the description says.

[nimble bolt]

ah cool thank you

[plush patio]

also worth nothing that the relevant rewards out of rampant coast are the ones that directly drop from the beast, so it honestly doesn't matter much if you die and lose the echo rewards, you'll still get everything relevant

assuming softcore ofc

if hardcore then yeah rampant coast is hella rippy

[floral finch]

best way to get favor currently?

[old kettle]

hey guys are relics jewelry in the circle of fortune ? I wanna have some unique relics drop

[floral finch]

yes

there are prophecies for them

[old kettle]

hey guys how do you reforge a set item? I see this build that I'm following which says "vilatria's crown reforge" which has 4 levels of lightning blast on it how do I do that?

I'm confused af rn

[desert tree]

Step 1 get a bunch of Vilatria set helmet
Step 2 do the great bridge Woven echo use the reward to break those helmets to get shards
Step 3 use those shards in the regular crafting forge to add to your helm

[old kettle]

thanks bro I was freaking confused on this game man XD

[torpid grove]

Just wondering if the inactivity bug is going to get fixed soon. Got the message twice while actively doing monos

[floral finch]

is there any good spots to farm rift stuff?

[icy drift]

Depends on what you need but rampant coast and bloodline glade spam can be good. Or you can just put down nesting groves like lostwood folly's and run normal echoes with rifts

[calm schooner]

how rippy?

[calm schooner]

Just checked someone doing it on YT and lol
So since this is at 1220% increased, I guess at a 330% increase it's 6k 🤔

[old kettle]

this yours?

[calm schooner]

Bro

[calm schooner]

Still stands btw, I'm waiting for shared experiences before entering it lol

[old kettle]

hey guys how do I edit the cursor on this game? like my mouse cursor?

[icy drift]

There's no in game option. You can either use something like yolomouse or change your cursor size in Windows

[calm schooner]

It was fine, he melted 🙂

[calm schooner]

1. Does the Rift Beast from Evolution's End benefit from Minion buffs from gear?
2. Does the Rift Beast from Rampant Coast count as a boss / rare / champion for prophecies?
3. Can Rift Portals open in Conquered Tower / Unclaimed Trove / Rampant Coast?

[raven kernel]

How much health regen would one need to achieve the full 1500% increased cold melee damage from the shattered lance set?

To my knowledge it would be about 3000 but I don't know whether there are some details missing...

[desert tree]

3k yeah

[raven kernel]

I'm just looking at the cold damage increase on LETools (✅ verified build) and it is saying that I am only getting about 370% increased cold damage from the shattered lance set at 1726 health regen in which at that number, should be granting roughly around 863% at 1726 regen (Not counting decimal placements.)

[raven kernel]

hence why I bring up as to whether I am missing something within the framework of the shattered lances effects or not. (that or @bronze ocean may have to look into it on the side.)

[desert tree]

What does it says in game ?

[desert tree]

... Lol, forgot the character sheet is pointless ^^

[bronze ocean]

The issue here is probably the order of conditional modifiers, LE Tools uses generic logic for that while in the game there's a strict order for that. I hope to provide a proper order some day.

I suppose that conditional mods for health regen are applied after conditional mods for % damage, so these aren't accounted for in % damage calculation

[desert tree]

But yeah, you should be getting 900% Inc Dmg from the set

[calm schooner]

Is the all res blessing in age of dragons particularly rare?
I've slain the dragon for the 20th time now (339c) and haven't seen it once.
Although I never had any issue getting it on previous chars, idk 🤷‍♀️

[desert tree]

Btw you are not taking this ??

[raven kernel]

Don't need to as the bear itself helps with damage on top of what I do. (that & I prefer 'em alive.)

[desert tree]

Not that rare

Just unlucky

[desert tree]

How is the dmg ?

[calm schooner]

that's like 0.6^20

lol

[raven kernel]

does defeating abberoth in roughly 5-7 minutes count?

[desert tree]

Noice

[raven kernel]

(also remind me again who said that the singularity idol was useless a long while back?)

[desert tree]

Probably me, and I stand by it

Question

Why take AS here when all your skill are CD based ?

[desert tree]

Just by moving moving a few pts here and there you can get to 57.2% Crit Chance

Without any crit multi, thats equivlent to 57.2% More Dmg

37.2% extra than Singularity

[raven kernel]

I am not familiar with the acronym for AS.
Also, if your talking about the crit on the ornate idol, I plan on changing that to a tier 7 Minion damage & attack speed.

[desert tree]

AS = Attack Speed

Ah you want it for your bear

Just realised

[raven kernel]

Noted.
The attack speed helps to mitigate the penalty of the dilation from the event horizon maul. And the bleed from eviscerating howl helps to feed into the bears damage multiplier from the Wounded prey node.

[desert tree]

But all your skills are on cooldown

You dont really have a penalty for using Event Horizon, no ?

Oh and Flight of Quetzeri can give you a lot of CDR for Maul/Fury Leap

[raven kernel]

Movement & attack speed.
A few things I'm improving on is

• getting decent LP on the blood of the exiles so I can slam 30% movement speed on it, & plausibly added cooldown reduction as I actually use all the werebear abilities I have. (& reduced bonus damage taken from crits if I get real lucky & get 3lp which is going to be quite the task given I can only go as comfortably far as 500c.)
• Kermodes cage is another to get at 3lp for strength, reduced bonus damage taken from crits & maybe either increased max health or increased aspect of the shark.
• And also get an inheritance of the erased with both armor shred & flat health regen, the armor shred being for the bear via the chosen buff, given the bears attack speed in the long run.

I also do happen to get a few cooldown reduction affixes on the belt, the LE ring, the implicits on the ancestral gloves with the reforged last bears fury.

[desert tree]

Movement & attack speed.
None of the skill you use really make use of Attack Speed because they are all cooldown base now
Maul > Cooldown
Swipe > Cooldown
So getting Attack Speed for you is not really good

[raven kernel]

Not to sound like a broken record (it's just me.) but the attack speed is again, to mitigate the multiplicative attack speed penalty of the event horizons dilation stacks, because in my experience, longer attack animations due to slow attack speed do tend to get me turned into a bear skinned rug if caught off guard by the enemy.
(oh, & to try and have a somewhat consistent upkeep on the more melee damage from said dilation buff.)

[desert tree]

Ah, you mean you spend less time in the Swipe/Maul animation ?

Because it clearly doesnt make you Maul/Swipe more often

[raven kernel]

Exactly this. (mostly swipe, the animation for maul is no problem since I make use of heorot's protection.)

[calm schooner]

So... is Defiled Valley bugged, or am I completely misunderstanding things?
I completed the echoes in the radius, completed Defiled Valley and the description says I can now repeat them, but I can't.

[raven kernel]

Vessels of memory only work on normal echoes that are already completed.

Woven echoes are not affected by it.

[calm schooner]

Nevermind, I didn't see the 2nd passage KEKW

So I know we do Conquered Tower for Exalts, but is there a specific thing that makes us decide to Empower for better mods vs just Challenge / Banish?

[blazing umbra]

Empowering improves what's already there. So an exalt can get more fp, or another exalt stat, or a sealed stat, and generally any combination of those

[calm schooner]

I didn't ask what Empowered does, but when it's more worth to Challenge / Banish vs Empower

[blazing umbra]

Challenging doesn't improve the item in there at all

It just gives you what's shown there

[calm schooner]

...

[blazing umbra]

maybe I'm not understanding the question but if you have to pick between improving or not improving something, isn't the choice clear?

[desert tree]

Banish: nothing in there is worth
Challenge: When you cannot empower further

[calm schooner]

Not really. Is it worth to Empower a rare chestpiece in hopes it will turn Exalted, for example?

[blazing umbra]

Yes..

Like I said it improves what's in there

Or has a chance to anyway

[open lodge]

yes, it can add another t6 affix, so worth it

[calm schooner]

Any modifier level thresholds on the rare when it's worth vs not worth to improve for Exalt?

e. g. the rare chestpiece has tier 4 modifiers.

or 3

[meager junco]

just if the base item is what you want like chest vs boots

[calm schooner]

got it

so a t3 could potentially be improved to t6/t7?

[meager junco]

possibly

[calm schooner]

thank you

I assume Egg is always improve to see which unique it becomes?

assuming I have no 0 LPs to put in

[meager junco]

yeah

[open lodge]

no threshold, just keep in mind that the lower the affix tier is, the more crafting you'll have to do to up so, you 'll need forging potentiel
so if your rare as enough fp it may be worth

[blazing umbra]

all of that is mostly irrelevant/inefficient to worry about since they can be optimized with imprinting

All you really care is getting two exalted affixes and high fp

You can build on the item from there

[calm schooner]

yes, I was wondering if low tier affixes on a rare can still become exalted from improving

[open lodge]

yes

[calm schooner]

ez ty

[blazing umbra]

I've popped a double t7 off a rare multiple times

Obviously the chances are lower since nemesis has to pick the same item twice and not fumble

(it can add a sealed affix)

[muted tapir]

Hello everyone, some items are rarer to drop with LP3 than others, for example. I was wondering if this level of rarity also applies to the Egg of the Forgotten with the Nemesis system, and to the Woven Echo Farsight Turtle that lets you reroll LP?

[desert tree]

Yes

They all follow the LPL of the item (the hidden value that determines how hard it is getting lp)

[muted tapir]

Ty a lot !

By the way, regarding LP farming is there a specific method to maximize your chances ?

Or it's just Nemenis + Turtle Woven echo

[desert tree]

Higher corruption

Prophecies

Nem + Turlte loop

[calm schooner]

What's the current "sweet spot" consensus regarding c level?

[desert tree]

As high as possible without slowing down

[versed garden]

hello yes or no, can i imprint a unique that is boss only drop, for example world splitter?

[desert tree]

You can but it wont make it drop

[versed garden]

is it said in the game anywhere?

so only uniques that are random drops?

and normal/exalted items

[versed garden]

thanks

also, if i imprint 1 lp item it will have more chances of dropping with lp 1 or higher?

[desert tree]

Yes

[versed garden]

also does anyone know if turtle/nemesis have higher chances of making an item 2 lp than normal looting?

[faint cape]

Nemesis kinda does, turtle does not. Worth noting that if nemesis gives affixes instead of LP, you can imprint that anyway and it'll count the same as LP (# of affixes = # of LP).

[versed garden]

how long do you guys think will it take to get world splitter 2 lp using nemesis tower and turtle strat

or will it be faster to use 20 1lp world splitters until i roll a good 1 of 4 affixes

[distant nest]

Im playing bleed vengeance FG, Does increasing vengeance damage through Idol or the vengeful fighter node increase the bleed vengeance does?

[desert tree]

Yes to both

Bleed inflicted by Vengeance count as vengeance

Just to make sure, this wont work with bleeds because it specifies Hits only

[distant nest]

As for affixes for bleeding bad guys real quiet like, i know %phys damage and %Dot increases it but which one should i go for?

[uneven oak]

Both increase it the same

Just a diff mod

[dusty dust]

Found Scurry helmet, which SLOT in Weaver tree do I need to get to imprint it and hopefully drop Scurry helmet more often?

[faint cape]

Since your hits probably deal physical damage, the % phys will be very slightly better, unless you're also incidentally applying some other non-phys DOT damage, then the % DOT might be better overall. But for bleed itself, it makes no difference.

[faint cape]

All non-idol equipment can use 2 of the 3 imprint slots (ignoring warlord's riches, since that one is junk). Helms can go in the two that let you imprint armor, so prioritize getting to those, but ideally you'll get all the imprint slots except for warlord's riches.

[desert tree]

Both Inc are equal
You also want Bleed/Phys Pen and Bleed Duration

[calm schooner]

Someone please explain the point of Unclaimed Trove to me.
I thought it was to farm the lost caches for the imprint in Sealed Riches, but in a full day of spamming Troves at 330c I haven't gotten anything even remotely resembling my imprint and I'm wondering what's the point of it lol
For good measure, I have full Loot Lizard support as well, including Lizard's Inheritance, and the same applies.
Do Imprints even do anything xD

[meager junco]

depends on what you imprint and how many you did

[alpine flax]

Question, can Aberroth's Command drop as a result of a sceptre prophecy or show up in the nemesis drop table? Or from Skarven's unique drop bags? Basically, is there any way to acquire it before reaching the boss itself and farming him.

[storm blaze]

No
No
Only the harbinger that can drop it or aberroth.

prophecies can't drop boss only uniques
nemesis can't have boss only uniques (unless you replace the egg with one and even then it's only that specific harbinger)
skarven's unique drop bags can't drop boss only uniques either

[alpine flax]

Ty for the answers.

[wintry hazel]

"Does not scale with points allocated"
Does it mean that any point allocated after the 4 points bonus is not affected or are none of the points doubled?
At 4 points, 12% for both stats, doubled to 24% on 40 mana spell cast, total = 24%
at 8 points, 24% for both stats, 12% is doubled on 40 mana spell cast, total = 36%

If only the initial 4% are doubled then I don't really see the point

[plush patio]

The doubling doesn't scale. So at 8 points it will double 24%

It's more obvious on other similar effects that have actual numbers in the "does not scale" section

But it's just written like that for consistency with similar effects

[wintry hazel]

so for this one, it does scale with points allocated? 😆

[desert tree]

Kinda yes 😅

[dense lodge]

Does Corruption level increase Nemesis empower chance for LP?

[last terrace]

is there a way to speed level a alt character?

[desert tree]

Corruption doesn't impact empower

[desert tree]

Dungeon + legendary 'gear

[last terrace]

ah, never done a dungeon before 🙂 so just run through em?

[desert tree]

Yeah

[faint cape]

It does, only for exalted items

[dense lodge]

Yes, either through the Dungeon shortcuts and/or with twink items with movement speed and dot dmg slams. There is a couple of videos on YouTube about both

[dense lodge]

ty ❤️

[desert tree]

True, the question was about lp
But I wasn't not thorough enough

Took a shortcut

[faint cape]

That has got to be the most insane shortcut I've seen lol

[last terrace]

thanks, gonna check

[sour trout]

😂 is there a reason the feedback page has reacts enabled? It feels like reddit people thumbs up and downvote feedback. Should just be peoples personal experience and feedback, not popularity contest.

[wintry hazel]

Should I ditch crit avoidance if I can keep blind up 100% ?
Against Bosses should be fine except any transitions where the debuff runs out.
monoliths can get scary

[faint cape]

Against bosses, yes blind can be plenty reliable. Outside of blinding thicket, I wouldn't rely on it for echoes. It's a risk, but not a super massive one usually, especially if you have some incidental crit protection elsewhere.

[wintry hazel]

I think the trade-off in stat prio should be well worth it.
T7 flat HP on ring instead of crit results in ~5x the value in ward for me

With the primordial chest there is a ward limit which essentially determines if I can survive one hit from uber abbe

[proper wave]

might sound dumb but like is there a way to reset a legendary back to a unique with no LP

so you can like farm the egg on nemesis for LP1 or 2

[faint cape]

No, once it's legendary, it's permanent. You can imprint it in your Weaver tree though, the red affixes count as LP for that, so it makes you more likely to get higher LP when those imprints proc.

[proper wave]

my issue is the uniques I need are from specific bosses and unless I'm just crazy unlucky they don't seem to drop based on the rules in the tree being specific boss drops

[faint cape]

Ah yeah, that is true, imprints only work for items that drop anywhere

[proper wave]

ah okay so I did sus that out correctly at least

[faint cape]

so not too much you can do with them in that case, afaik

[proper wave]

dang

it also sucks because one is uhkeiros' twisted heart

which is the dragon empire final boss thing

so farming him is semi time consuming

[shut walrus]

I have a question. Gold inflation is not as bad as last season. What causes it? Is there still money duping?

[proper wave]

the other is the blossom of immortal stone which is just a rare drop off rift beasts. I do have rift beasts spawning all over and ambushing me thanks to the weaver tree but also just time consuming

[oblique mulch]

na there isn,t last season might be high player base farming shrines n there was ppl opening chests 24/7 exploiting idk if dupe but this season i see corruption don,t increase amount of gold dropped so might be that but other seasons yh there was dupes 😄

[near vale]

Are the items in the bags that Skarven sells tied to zone level, character level, or neither?

[compact pewter]

I think it's fine. It does show how many people endorse an idea and how many go "I don't see it and am very confused", I saw a few of those where I was going ??? I don't know what you're talking about all, are we playing the same game? Absolutely nothing beyond putting an emote, if you want a real conversation, post on the site.

[storm blaze]

Don't thnk they are

[zealous spoke]

hey something weird is going on where i cant chat. is there a bug currently?

[spice willow]

exalted amulet with affix i want is a myth...

exalted items actually

[turbid lark]

Can anyone explain how the merchant guild works and if there's a price guide for stuff?
I know it costs gold to buy stuff, but is there someone who can explain is simply for me? Thanks! 🙏🏼

I'm still kinda learning the game, so be nice lol

[near vale]

So they can drop level 100 items even if my character is level 25?

[icy drift]

Basically as you gain and spend favour as well as xp you'll gain reputation and rank up. Each rank will let you purchase more items (usually better ones). Both selling and buying items cost favor. Buying also costs gold. The gold price is set by the seller and then is increased by a further 15% as a tax on the economy. There isn't really an easy / quick way to get how much an item is worth, at least not for normal items like exalts outside of looking up similar items. For uniques it's a decent amount easier since you can just look up the same unique with similar rolls and lp.

!trade

[ripe brook]

Oh, someone is interested in trade? I know it's a pretty small topic, but here's a little writeup about it: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/trade-item-factions/61722

[icy drift]

This post has a general overview of both factions. It's a little outdated but only because things have been added to them, nothing in it has changed a ton per se.

[loud lion]

so I get how to fight aberoth, how do you end up fighting uber aberoth?

[desert tree]

When you kill Abby he drop a Woven echo. That echo can be placed in a timeline at 500+ Corruption and contains Uber

[loud lion]

ah gotcha ty

[sour trout]

Does anyone know any high stacking ward builds right now? Everything I’m finding is just self healing, dodge, or life leech

[fallen hull]

Is there upcoming sale for this game?

[fallen radish]

Is there a good way to farm random drop unique idols?

[desert tree]

Prophecies

[fallen radish]

omg i forgot those existed, thanks 😄

[calm schooner]

I'm curious what everybody uses their CoF Favour on.
I'm currently using them for generic Rune prophecies because

• I only drop trash Exalts from prophecies
• I am perpetually short on Runes of Havoc
• there is no Rune of Havoc prophecy

With Lens of Runes and the 2 Lenses of Time (remove non-Monolith and remove Monolith) to be exact.

[desert tree]

Uniques mostly

And Idols

[calm schooner]

Am I doing something wrong, or why is the "Increased Lightning Damage, Increased Minion Lightning Damage" suffix not available to filter for?

[storm blaze]

Don't think that can spawn on mage idols

[calm schooner]

2nd image

I opened a fresh rule and even looking for Affix as my only condition, it doesn't exist.

Bug report it is, I guess 🤷‍♀️

I found it... it is named "Shared Lightning Damage" in the game...

[high tusk]

Did the suggestions channel recently get changed? Not finding all of the sections for different topics of suggestions

[deep moon]

yes, it was split into two new channels: #feedback and #suggestions . old channel is archived and visible to devs only.

[high tusk]

Unfortunate. I liked the old style with specific topics. Oh well. Thank you

[void junco]

anyone knows how the affix X damage taken as phys works, the conversion happens after the hit so u can double dip on the defensives or its before the hit happens so it is a meme bait affix?

[desert tree]

It splits the hit

I am not sure what you mean by before or after the hit

If you take a 100 necrotic hit and have 50% Necro > Phys conversion, the hit is now 50 Necrotic 50 Phys

[void junco]

after the hit= u take 100 dmg u mitigate 75% using ur resitance leaving u with a 25 hit then u convert the remaining into phys and mitigate again

[desert tree]

Ah

So no to that

[void junco]

ok ye so before u take the hit its already converted thanks a lot

[calm schooner]

I ask the community: how do you deal with the mental anguish of the Circle of "F, I'll be rerolling for 30 minutes again"

[desert tree]

Poor a glass of red wine

[calm schooner]

Is it possible to temporarily hide ground loot?

[desert tree]

Your bind is most likely different than mine

Since mine is not the default

I believe its alt+Z by default

[calm schooner]

Why can I not fill the last 2 spots?

[icy drift]

You haven't done the timelines that give those blessings on that character

[calm schooner]

But I did

[icy drift]

If you go and do one of their timeline boss what happens after you kill it

Faction progression is shared between characters

[calm schooner]

Oh, I might have forgotten then. Sorry 🙂

[calm schooner]

are Barnacle King echoes worth it? They basically offer the same as Trove, right?

[meager junco]

for the music yes, otherwise no

[calm schooner]

How come? We do Unclaimed Troves for the caches + loot lizards to get the imprints (with the cache and loot lizard nodes in the Weaver tree), and Barnacle King has caches + loot lizards

[meager junco]

more annoying to run and missing out on other imprints

[faint cape]

Barnacle king has more loot lizards for sure, not sure about cache counts. But since loot lizards don't proc imprints and barnacle king is way more annoying to run, people do trove usually

Also you can buy troves from Masque

[calm schooner]

does the chance to proc imprints increase at higher corruption? because so far I haven't really seen the point of trove, I think I'm at like 1 similar proc total in 2 days' worth of playing at 330c

[meager junco]

slightly with a big bump when you reach empowered

you probably get a lot but a good imprint proc is rare

[calm schooner]

so does that get better at higher c?

[meager junco]

yeah up to a limit

[calm schooner]

any specifics?

[meager junco]

Something like 500 is only like 2% from cap and 1000 is basically cap

[calm schooner]

do you have a source I can look that up for corruption levels?

[meager junco]

There’s a sheet in frozensentinels imprint vid you can make a copy of

[uneven oak]

There is still a some reliance on what echoes you complete and the rarity mods they give you etc.

But at this point its widely known that corruption and rarity scale infinitely, but its very often the case that farming 500 is much more efficient than 1000 and 300 is kinda where you can sit with any build but doesn’t unlock everything compared to 500.

[formal osprey]

How significant are the effects of corruption on generic loot btw? And also, does it meaningfully affect LP chances or stuff like number of t7 mods (on normal loot or imprints etc) to go from say 500c to 2000c?

[desert tree]

For lp chance https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/lp-chance

Tldr, not really

[dense lodge]

Is the normal and uber version of Abby bugged? Multiple times I've been standing clearly far behind him and the triple slam gets me even through the indicators are nowhere near me

[icy drift]

I'd need to see a video but if you're hugging his ass it will hit you. They extend basically from the middle of him

[dense lodge]

Gotcha, makes sense, ty

[calm schooner]

Does the increased Wand droprate Blessing have an impact on Exiled Mages dropping Ladle?

[candid elm]

I don't believe so, that's a boss drop and the Blessings give you extra bonus random drop. It could help get you extra Exalted to combine though

[calm schooner]

I hadn't even thought about the 2nd part... thank you!

[candid elm]

Welcome! Best of luck farming. Taking the Weaver nodes in the upper left can help get more Exiled Mages for extra drop chances. There's one for 40% chance of 2 from a Rune Prison and another that guarantees a Prison in Tombs and Cemeteries.

[slim hamlet]

hey guys want to start a new character in s3, can I get some rec's for a fun summoner build? I was thinking about going BM

https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/planner/uoi6k0qm#1 I'm thinking of this build, it looks cool with all the summons

[barren kindle]

anything useful I can use bad legendaries from failed Nemeses for?

[desert tree]

Gauntlet of Strife Woven echo

[barren kindle]

oh! cool, I didnt realize legendaries would work for that

[spice willow]

I do conquered tower for nemesis eggs

Used to do rampant coast

[calm schooner]

you can sac legendaries?

I've been trashing them LMAO

[desert tree]

Yes

[glad fractal]

Q) Hello everyone. I played LE upon release, and it was a good experience but I stopped playing because the game was too easy -- and it became boring. I was mindlessly progressing thru the story, and it felt like a chrone until I reach endgame.

• Has anything changed in taht regard?
• What is the end-game loop loop like?

[untold grotto]

No endgame is the same

It's legit just spam monolith that's it

And soon enough you'll have to pay money for DLC to access future stuff

No signs of that endgame loop changing in the near future

[untold grotto]

If you're looking to play something more complex/varied endgame play poe/poe2

Grim dawn is also an option barring it's DLC requirement iirc

[glad fractal]

Its not the endgame I care about... its getting there. Has teh difficulty changed?

[untold grotto]

No lol

It's still the handheld baby version of poe

Which some people enjoy

[glad fractal]

Ok, someone mentioned Veteran's boots that act like a debuff (indirect hard mode). I'll take another look.. I recall the classes, weapons, skill trees all felt and played so awesome - but because the game was so easy, my (nooby) theorycrafting didn't seem to matter..

[untold grotto]

For what it matters, the endgame activity right now is farming Uber aberroth, and there are definitely some classes /builds that struggle way more than others

[glad fractal]

Funny you mention Grim Dawn... I was playing it earlier and quit because it had the EXACT same problem with the necro class. My minions were doing all the work and I was just playing "running simulator"

[calm schooner]

you can get through it quickly with dungeons + portals if you care about that

[untold grotto]

Umbral blade falconer is one example that melts it

But if you try and play blade dancer....

Good luck

[calm schooner]

also I recommend HC 🤷‍♀️

but yea the campaign is trivial, but I think that's by design

[untold grotto]

HC for rogues always be looking like a graveyard

[calm schooner]

the only class I haven't touched for a reason 🤷‍♀️ lol

[untold grotto]

Legit nuke or be nuked the class

Only falconer is the real endgame viable one lol

[calm schooner]

feels poe2 deadeye man

they even look the same

I really hope the season goes on for much longer, I'm just now getting the blessings I want and starting to go for 2 LPs on 330c, havent even touched abby yet

There are so many more builds I want to play

[untold grotto]

As someone who pushed like 1k corrupt and farmed uberroth, it gets easier once you pushed those

Since you can just outfit your other characters with ur gear

[calm schooner]

I think I'm good at 330c right now

[untold grotto]

But when rogues build guides all generally list double red ring as endgame defensive layer you know something is cooked with the class 🗿

[calm schooner]

if it was SC I'd be pushing 1k

HC I'm very unsure

330 feel comfy atm

[untold grotto]

I'd agree but greed take over

Especially when you start wanting 2 lp uniques

And t7 exalt bases

[storm wren]

Want difficulty? Try burning dagger marksman

[calm schooner]

Want difficulty? Try staying sane while waiting for your minions to catch up to you

[storm wren]

Good action per second you'll need

How this boots add difficulty?

[desert tree]

It's the other affix

[storm wren]

Oh cursed Veteran's boots.

[candid elm]

The boots replaced an optional extra challenge mode called Masochist. It was changed with the 1.0 release

Removed Masochist challenge mode and replaced with an item that replicates the functionality. The item can be found in the first area of the game. https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/last-epoch-1-0-patch-notes/62536/3
Prior to that, you could turn on the challenge mode at character creation like you'd turn on HC, SCF, or SAF. It's been awhile, so I'm a bit foggy on this, but I think you could maybe toggle Masochist off an on at will?

[storm wren]

damn I can't return back to the cave :(

The flame wall block me

[storm wren]

you mean I must active any challenge to get this boots, it's not available in scf?

I don't need to turn on scf :)

emmmmm why I have a lv 15 necromancer online...

Oh. I'm a offline player for a long time so I have no idea scf online mean. It's as same as play a offline character (can't party share)

lol That's challenge too...Interesting

[candid elm]

No I mean the old Masochist challenge mode was replaced by those boots.

[storm wren]

OH???? I never discover a secret entrance hide in here

[candid elm]

The part at the where you do less damage and take more damage was what Masochist mode used to do

I'm not sure why exactly they removed it, but they put those in for anybody who still wanted the extra challenge

[storm wren]

What masochist mode is?

😅 I never check out 1.0 patch note because I don't need to read it because I just played the game

[candid elm]

The same effect as the boots. You do less damage and take more damage

[storm wren]

🤔 Maybe it's a good idea to get one pairs to get some challenge in 1.4

Marksman will be very excitedscared hhh

Oh this is the most impressive feature because it inspired me to explore the same map again and again.

Since Sweetgoat shared that patch note, maybe I should recall le's history

🤔 we don't have full offline mode before 1.0?! Interesting

[candid elm]

edit: looks like I remember this incorrectly, Father Toast looked through old patch notes and the sign in might have started back in 0.5.0 which was in like 2018. Multiplayer was added in 0.9.0 in like 2023. 1.0 release was in Feb 2024.

I didn't start playing until some point before multiplayer was released, maybe around 0.8.5-ish? So like maybe 2022-2023-ish. edit: checked Steam purchase history and it was Sep 2022, so yeah between 0.8.5 and 0.9.0.

[last fossil]

i feel like this is a super newb question but, do you have to kill a shade and reset the timeline every time to get boss drops? I swear I just beat the Reign of Dragons boss 3 times but he only dropped gear once

[desert tree]

No

But are you in Empowered ?

And are you using a Lootfilter ?

Maybe the loot got hidden

[last fossil]

yes to both, ill make sure to hit X next time

[desert tree]

Are you playing in a group ?

[faint cape]

The sign in was a thing since before I started playing a good while before 0.9, it was the same as current semi-offline. Not sure if that was added just when they added the chat system or if it was always that way, that goes too far back for me.

[candid elm]

Yeah wasn't it added around when they started working on adding multiplayer? I don't remember when exactly. It must have been after they went from the stand alone client to using Steam.

Sometime way back when

[faint cape]

I think the login may have always been a thing. I went back through some of the earlier patch notes, and 0.7 when they released on Steam and officially entered beta, one of the benefits they mention for using Steam is automatic login when playing through Steam

[candid elm]

yeah there was a stand alone client until March 2023 https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/migration-to-steam/52234

[faint cape]

so if there was ever a time they had a public true offline before, it would likely have been in alpha/pre-alpha

[candid elm]

Could entirely be I'm remembering incorrectly about the server sign in

[faint cape]

actually yeah, looks like pre-alpha may have been fully offline, 0.5 was alpha release and that was when they released their launcher and the in game chat

[candid elm]

I didn't start playing until later, so there must have always been a sign in when I was playing and I'm just not remembering it

[nimble bolt]

Is drain life viable is a primary main damage spell? 🤔

[faint cape]

Not really, but technically yes. I've only heard of any success with it when changed to a laser shooting spell with stygian coal, at which point it's pretty much entirely a different skill.

[nimble bolt]

ahh gotcha

ok thank you

What about havest

[faint cape]

Harvest is okay, it does struggle with single target though. Lich just had a bunch of changes and that included harvest, so I'm not totally up to date on it though

[nimble bolt]

What would you say is the best skill to use for single target as a lich?

if you know xD

is rip blood at all viable as single target xD i see it can be converted to necrotic

[faint cape]

Using flay to spit out chaos bolts is pretty popular, and I'm sure there's an angle for rip blood's tether for single target but haven't seen as much on that

[nimble bolt]

thank you! Ill do some messing around later i appreciate it

[faint cape]

Best of luck! and if you run into any issues, the #💀┃acolyte channel is likely to have people in it that are currently running acolyte builds

[nimble bolt]

much appreciated

[last fossil]

is it common for the boss in empowered to sometimes not drop any loot?

[old kettle]

No you probably have bad luck 😭

Or your loot filter is getting in the way

[last fossil]

i checked with disabling the filter. Is the boss drop delayed until you kill the harbinger?

[storm blaze]

Yes boss drops come after you kill the harbinger if you've summonee harbinger

[last fossil]

aha

ok now I dont feel bad at all, just gonna keep grindin

[storm blaze]

Though prophesies still are dropped on the boss kill if you've something like kill heorot

[last fossil]

honestly i didn't have any prophecies until this evening, i started buying a bunch when i started asking about this

[shut walrus]

what caused inflation last season? the prices this season halfway through has much lower prices on everything than last season

[floral finch]

what is the fastest way to get bones, or farm for wildfire amulet?

have bought 2 of them already and nemesis cooking has failed both time, frustratiooon

[novel lotus]

I encountered this issue after the last two updates. The problem only occurs when I access Turtle Echo. otherwise, everything works normally. I’ve followed the AI’s suggested instructions, reinstalled Windows, and checked each piece of software I use, but there’s been no change whatsoever. Has anyone else experienced this issue and managed to resolve it?

[cinder solar]

Anyone else had problems spawning the right amount of squirrels?

[fallow geyser]

Yeah, a few weeks ago even. Seems like it’s still not fixed 🙁
Verifying files fixed it temporarily for me but next login it was back to bugged and I don‘t wanted to go through that process multiple times per week so I changed my build.
Pls report it 🙏

[cinder solar]

F, that build was pretty much the main reason I started playing this game again -.-

[fallow geyser]

Had a ton of fun until it bricked and I quit the season shortly after 😕
You could try ask in Primalist class channel, maybe they know more about it.
If you‘d like a similar experience, I heard frogs are really good.

[cinder solar]

Guess I will try and work with the squirrels and if it becomes too much of a pain then try and switch to frogs. But when you go in to a map and you only spawn 2 squirrels instead of 10... Like what am I supposed to do 😛

[desert tree]

They are struggling with permanent bond, yeah

[fallow geyser]

First thing you could try is respec the +1 wolf node on the left because that was the part in the patch notes that bricked the build iirc.

[desert tree]

Usually removing the skill from your bar and adding it back should get your your squirrels back

[cinder solar]

I removed and added the skill multiple times both today and yesterday.

[cinder solar]

do you mean wolf to max companion size or just wolf +1?

[desert tree]

+1

[fallow geyser]

Just +1 wolf at all times. Should be the leftmost node in the skilltree

[deep moon]

Necromancer is all about passive mininions. active minions are mostly on Primalist. Sentinel - Forge Guard mastery can also have two interactive-ish minions: one is armor that can react to your shield throw and another is a pile of temporary summoned swords that require you attacking in some way to summon more.

although Necromancer has some active options too - like exploding zombies, minions sacrificing other minions, temporary or stationary wraiths etc.

[hidden orchid]

If i take Stay of Execution to make Puncture a channeled skill (charged), will buffs to damage while channeling work on it?

[desert tree]

I dont think so

But I am not a Rogue expert

Try asking in #🔪┃rogue

Someone there have probably tried it before

[toxic echo]

i have actually hit this in a different game. no idea why

[icy drift]

I feel like it could work tbh

But yeah it depends on when the skill is actually cast and snapshots the stats

If it's on channel start it wouldn't work, but if it's on channel end I'd imagine it would

Would have to be tested for sure

[plain kayak]

Finally something to stop you from getting 3lp+ items

[hollow frigate]

considering playing this season, is the trade market been infalted by gold dupers as it has been in the past?

[high tusk]

Is there a way to apply corruption scaling to dungeons?

[storm blaze]

no

[icy drift]

Corruption doesn't affect dungeons in any way, in case that was in question.

But you can get the lp of a dungeon only unique to scale with corruption if it drops from the weaver tree node that makes dungeon enemies spawn in your echoes afaik

(This is not a good idea, you'll get your item with the lp you want faster by just running the dungeon unless you have a gazillion corruption, but it's something to consider)

[high tusk]

Thank you to you both.

[versed garden]

am i the only one who thinks 3 lp items should have 2 guaranteed affixes?

[high tusk]

No, but I doubt it'll ever happen. Maybe if there's ever an Uber Julra

[versed garden]

if i get one in 30000 drop i should be able to control it more xD

[icy drift]

I don't think they should imo

I do agree that they could and maybe even should add something to let you control it more though

But it shouldn't be for free

[versed garden]

so 2 lp is much better, you can get 10 times more of them and just spam until you get 2 you want

2 shouldn't be more optimal than 3

dont you think?

[icy drift]

I mean it's not

it's not like you farm either 2lp or 3lp

You can't really compare it like that

the same item is always better with more lp

[versed garden]

you can because statistically you get like 100 times more 2 lp than 3

[icy drift]

Yes. But saying it like that would make it seem like you either have to get 10 2lp's or a single 3lp, like it's a choice, this is not the case

[versed garden]

you are right, you dont have a choice, the game is making one for you

that doesnt change anything

[icy drift]

If you want 2 stats on your unique, a 3lp is better than a 2lp still

even if you couldn't guarantee any stats

3 lp is always better than 2 lp. Even if only 2 stats are useful

since you have a higher chance of getting the 2 you want

[versed garden]

it is yeah, but effectivnes isnt a measure of luck

all im saying is there is a canyon betwen 2 lp and 4 lp

[icy drift]

As there should be

[versed garden]

lets say you want 2 really crucial affixes, i will place a bet that its faster to get a couple of 2lp items and rng your way through getting both you want from the 4 there is than it it to get 3lp item and get 3 out of 4.

[icy drift]

Yes?

That's how it should be

The norm shouldn't be to get super high lp items just to slam a couple of stats on them

My point is that if you do happen to get an item with higher than needed lp, it's a good thing. Since it'll have a higher chance of hitting the stats you want

And if you do need 3 affixes, you can't even use a 2lp. And a 3 affix unique is a lot stronger than a 2 affix unique, hence 3lp needing to be a lot rarer

I feel like people are hung up on the philosophy that because something is possible, they should be able to do it

that's not the case

[versed garden]

damn, seasons end every couple months, you are so little likely to even get a wanted 3lp that you should be able to alteast make proper use of it

[icy drift]

Correct

So don't aim for it

Some uniques you can easily get a 3lp slammed

others, good luck.

For example I don't think I've had a single season where I've used a siphon of anguish and not had one slammed with 3 affixes I wanted

Something like a peak of the mountain is even easier

Getting a 4lp peak is reasonable within a season

[versed garden]

i would be tempted to aim for super mega ultra rare items if it wasnt the rng after that

[icy drift]

While other items, getting even 2lp is crazy

Then just don't

Like why not aim for a 4lp red ring

because you won't get it.

So don't aim for things that are barely out of reach either, because they're still out of reach

[versed garden]

i know last epoch is differemt, you cant minmax a build

but there is a wall you hit when you realise about the punishment

[icy drift]

Like lets say it takes 100 hours to get one unique A with 3lp. If you want to have a 3lp one slammed you better be ready to spend at least 300 hours grinding solely for it

And some people do, and for them it's within reach

but if that's unreasonable for you then just don't aim for it. The limit for gear in LE isn't meant to be reached

Maybe you'll get it anyway, congrats. But don't expect it is pretty much what I'm saying

[versed garden]

it is correct, they are ultra rare, thats why the further punishment isnt necesary

[icy drift]

Consider this

all slams are guaranteed

you can pick any affixes you want

[versed garden]

you get it - you get rewarded

[icy drift]

but the odds of dropping it are raised in exchange

so instead of it taking 100 hours to get that 3lp once. It'll now take 500 on average

(you can't just multiply by the odds of hitting the slam, that'd be way in favour of the player)

Not dropping anything for tens or hundreds of hours is way worse than dropping something that has a chance of being what you want way more often

[versed garden]

also, its just a game, nothing special, a little dopamine would be really appreciated xD

[icy drift]

Yes, if you want it to be guaranteed you'll get starved for dopamine is my point

Dropping the unique is a small dopamine hit in of itself

and then you miss and feel bad

but if you had 0 emotion for 5x the time it took you to drop that one unique

you'll just quit before you get it

[sour trout]

Does damned count as a curse?

[icy drift]

no

It's just a necrotic dot

[sour trout]

banger, I am like almost figuring out a build but hitting a roadblock everywhere haha

is there a way to make chaos bolt curse on hit?

or I just have to apply a curse then cast it everytime?

[icy drift]

I mean you can make it cast bone curse

[sour trout]

yeah but you need a curse already on

[icy drift]

oh yea true

[icy drift]

Mortality's grasp gloves

[sour trout]

oh let me look them up thanks

[icy drift]

Mark for death is a curse

They're weak stat wise but you can get 2 lp on them pretty easily

[sour trout]

really annoying that bone curse has stuff for mark for death lmao, so like the entire thing is trying to make chaos bolt do more damage to cursed enemies, but I need it to apply a curse, so I try to get it to cast bone curse, but in order for that to happen, its needs to have a curse on it already, so I have to get gloves for it to cast mark for death on a mob, then my bolt will trigger bone curse which now in its own tree caan cast mark for dead

I think I see why 95% of the player base just slams void knight 😂

[icy drift]

I mean you can just skip bone curse entirely if you use the gloves

save a skill slot

[sour trout]

yeah but you need unique gloves

I hate having to base core parts of the build on uniques

[icy drift]

That's kinda crazy not gonna lie lol

You'll be heavily limited with that mindset

I'd say most builds have uniques at their core

and not just as stat sticks

[sour trout]

not really, how would you ever expect someone to come in and make a build if they needed to know every unique and interaction in order to have a build

[icy drift]

I don't expect someone new to come in and make a "good" build. It's easy to make a serviceable build that will get you to empowered in LE. But to make one that actually does all the content in the game is not something that's to be expected of a new player. Especially if they don't look things up

[sour trout]

I mean having to use a unique for a playstyle feels bad, that there is no way in the game to make it work. Like I am trying to figure out how to play Lich without reaper form because I hate reaper form, so there is stuff with flay which is fun on its own and cold conversion is really fun for builds, but there is not much on the lich side of things that you can actually convert to cold besides aura of decay, so I gotta go look in warlock side fo the tree, ok cool chaos bolt has cold conversion and flay has synergy with it from mana stacking, but now that I am in chaos bolt and trying to make it work, there is like nothing in it that is useful if I am not casting curses, so now my melee build has to dot up everything and then I can go attack, its clunky and not really a fun playstyle. Good to know there is unique gloves but def a bummer that I gotta go outside the abilites and get an item in order to make this work.

[faint cape]

Flay can apply multiple curses itself

[waxen schooner]

Is there anybody knows about divebomb glitch nodes around "on wings of shadows"? It was glitch about if I pick those and divebomb's effect area shrinks so it goes like 0. As a result, it does no damage. I want to know if it is fixed cuz last time I played this game is around august, and it still was glitched

[candid elm]

If someone here doesn't know, you may want to check with #🔪┃rogue channel

[waxen schooner]

Yeah it seems I should try there. Thx for advice.

[candid elm]

I'm looking at the patch notes after the 1.3 update and I'm not immediately seeing a change/fix like you're talking about it. There's this one

Dive Bomb: Fixed an issue that would sometimes cause the Falcon, after using Dive Bomb, to briefly appear at its previous position before teleporting to the location of the Dive Bomb.
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/last-epoch-hotfix-1-3-1-notes/79240
But that doesn't sound like what you're talking about

[waxen schooner]

Yeah I also checked about patch note and read that part. So I also think it would not be fixed until now but there were the things that didn't fixed for longtime and also known so I thought there would be opposite case like fixed but unknown.

But thanks for reminding those.

Very kind.

[candid elm]

By the way, you didn't take Birds Aren't Real node in Dive Bomb did you?

[jolly turtle]

when season start ?

[desert tree]

When this one ends 😄

we dont know yet

[jolly turtle]

how old is this season yet ?

like when ´was the start

[candid elm]

For reference, Season 2 released April 17 and Season 3 released August 21. So about 4 months for Season 2 length.

It's been about a month and a couple weeks since Season 3 started, so you've probably got another 2-3 months at least.

[waxen schooner]

I tried to pick that one and delete that one and tried to what is actual problem for several times but I dunno, The point was around there, if I pick one of those, Even main divebomb shrinks and deals no dmg

[candid elm]

Yeah you'd want to skip Birds Aren't Real if you're using the other nodes down there

So it's something else then

[desert tree]

21/08

So a month and a half ish

Guess is Dec-Jan

[waxen schooner]

Yeah. It seems so.

[calm schooner]

If I'm at permanent low HP with Last Steps, does that mean my Ward benefits from Endurance damage reduction?

[calm schooner]

Unfortunate

[desert tree]

That would be broken otherwise ^^

[calm schooner]

can Eternity Cache roll a sealed affix?

[desert tree]

You mean slam?

Then no

[calm schooner]

I mean roll

the random affixes it rolls on the remaining lp

[desert tree]

The cache doesn't roll anything

It adds or slams affixes onto a unique

[calm schooner]

You put a unique and exalt into the cache

you select 1 affix

the remaining LP get random affixes assigned

can the sealed affix be one of those
