[crystal jackal]

he's got like twice your Ehp

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/LVX-/character/XilentNight

more LP on items, and tier 7 tier 7 slams

[long nest]

so LP is more emportant than the stats?

[crystal jackal]

it's the whole package

imagine having your exact gear, but have an axe with 2 LP instead of 1 that also have another t7 slamed on it with 380% increased void dmg

and then do that for every item

but that's super RNG to farm

I wouldn't recomend it if you're new to the game, since you also need to know how to do it. it's not obvious

anyway, I have to go to sleep, gl hf!

[long nest]

thank you mate gl

[deft cedar]

does chance to cast smite stack if i'm dual wielding?

[slow eagle]

Yes

But keep in mind they will share the same casts per second cap

[ionic void]

The god’s machine gun paladin build usually uses that plus multi strike with the node that turns the sword hits into more smites

But the one sword is sufficient

[fluid plover]

want to ask about harmony of the first primordial spear interaction with rive node foe clever. does the harmony stats increase happen first before foe clever 2x it or its just 2x base stats that shown in weapon (since its doesnt update its stats on screen)
so for instatnce i happen to get 20% per equipped non idol magic item and have 10 magic item in my equipment (200%) and have 100 physical melee damage, those it become 600 physical damage (foe take increase stats) or 200 (foe clever doesnt take increase stats)?

[slow eagle]

what weapon is that nvm about that I can't read

I would imagine the melee dmg on it gets its boost per magic item on you then foe cleaver applies to that?

this is a solid test at the arena dummies moment

[fluid plover]

i tried and feels like it doesnt get the boost from the passive before applied to foe cleaver, the damage is not much different. so i feels like maybe other dont get it too

which is sucks, because its like cool interaction if its working properly

[slow eagle]

how did you test it?

[fluid plover]

set 1 i have weapon with t7 melee phys affix, and set 2 i have harmony with t7 melee phys affix with full magic gear equip. i expect like at least 2 times more damage with 2nd set but its not that big diff

[slow eagle]

whats the not harmony weapon?

[fluid plover]

wait let me boot up last epoch

but its just normal t7 exalt sword

with stun and melee cold

[slow eagle]

hmm

my thought was maybe thats the dmg difference between the crappy base dmg on harmony vs a regular end game base

[fluid plover]

probably, maybe it will be easier to see on status?

like how much status applied

[slow eagle]

yeah cause you get a direct counter for that

I think flat melee stacking with harmony is kinda bait anyways, at least for rive

[rocky rapids]

it doesn't, the bonus stats from harmony are basically given directly to your character as opposed to being considered "on the weapon"

[slow eagle]

the build planner is wrong about that one darn

[fluid plover]

i just tried too with armor shred stack, aaaaa this could be a good interaction tho

like full glass canon with that setup

[rocky rapids]

i mean even if it worked you'd be zhp on a melee build with extremely limited aoe and no dodge or silver shroud or anything

[fluid plover]

fk now i found bug, my attack speed doesnt regiester. its ussualy 3.1 now stuck at 1.8

[fluid plover]

yeah tried that on aberoth and i think its quite ok? at least not 1 shot on slam

if dps hard enough i can kill it

and if you manage to slot stun on hit there it will stunlock most boss except aberoth

[slow eagle]

wait whats the plan with armor shred and dot

or was this the testing one

[fluid plover]

oh its the one i used to test to see stack

this is my offline mode char

[slow eagle]

ah

[bright ether]

are there any woven echoes that are guaranteed to spawn diamond matrons or siege golems

[crystal jackal]

Looks right. 0,94x1,96 =1,842

[mossy hinge]

Hi, i have some problem with this game, the game starts fine but i get 1 fps after starting and lags a lot. i have RTX 5060 and Ryzen 7 5700X with 16GB RAM. I used to get better frames with my laptop which i bought in 2018. can anyone help?

[bright ether]

first, try capping the game's FPS to your monitor's refresh rate in settings

lower a bunch of graphics settings

if that doesnt work, make sure your gpu is not downclocking by checking their speed using gpu-z when the game is running

[fluid plover]

it should be 0,94x3 from the weapon passive

before this its sit around 3.1 something

[crystal jackal]

Are you saying the char pane was showing 3 before and now shows 1,85?

[alpine pendant]

What place has good builds for LE? my friend wants to look up some if he can find something he likes, but I just use whatever I make up so I have no idea where to direct him, maxroll?

[desert tree]

Maxroll, Letools but you have to weed out the bad ones

[fallen parcel]

Before last epoch tools was the best place for builds nowadays maxroll its better for finding builds that work or are excellent still prefer how the site of last epoch tools look works but nowadays anybuild gets posted there that aint that good.

[flat hamlet]

When using Rune of Ascendency, does the base of the item matter? For example, if I use it on a tower shield, will the unique/set item also become a tower shield?

[sonic saddle]

no

the only thing that matters is the item type, ascending a shield will always give you a shield

[flat hamlet]

Good good. Just a battle vs RNG then

[sonic saddle]

yup

[storm blaze]

Also can't get boss only drops

[flat hamlet]

It's just a thornshell I'm trying to get

[azure siren]

Hi how much time left in the current season?

[storm blaze]

26th of march

[crystal jackal]

Welcome to the club.

[crystal jackal]

Keep in mind that there’s 3 different places with builds on maxroll.
Their official build guides.
Build guides made by anyone.
And the ladder.

[azure siren]

whats the most op build right now? warpath?

[crystal jackal]

To do what?

[azure siren]

to kill things, everything

[crystal jackal]

In general WP is pretty good

[cobalt maple]

is there anything that scales with attunment item-wise? aside from Aurelis?

[slow eagle]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/search?query=per attunement&in_description=1&exact_match=0

that should be all the uniques that have something that scales per attunement

attunement continues to just kinda be there

[pearl raft]

can someone tell me how does slamming legendary works

i combined a exalted to a legendary it did not give me back the legendary

[crystal jackal]

you need to go to the other "time zone" and collect it

did you leave the dungeon?

[pearl raft]

AHAH!

thank you for telling me

im kindda new to this game

TYSM

[pearl raft]

was about to T_T

just crafted my first legendary kindda happy about it XD

[crystal jackal]

the idea is kind of that you place them in the divine era, then jump to the far future and collect it there after the item has "cooked" for a long time

[pearl raft]

isee that makes sense

btw

is this legendary a pure rng?

or is there specific place to farm it?

[crystal jackal]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/category/chest/items

drops from aberroth only

[pearl raft]

where did u find this

[crystal jackal]

the link I just posted

[pearl raft]

aa mb

thank you

[crystal jackal]

it also says so in the piture you posted

read the row at the very bottom

[slow eagle]

So ya know mr new player, abberoth is the pinnacle boss

You will likely need a solid chest armor/legendary chest armor before fighting him

[pearl raft]

ooohhh lol

it says here for startter is this

[slow eagle]

That’s a lot more realistic early game + for a new player

[crystal jackal]

the mana gained on vengance use is the most important stat on your chest

[pearl raft]

isee

i cant seem to find it

[crystal jackal]

it's rare

what lvl are you?

[pearl raft]

im level 80

and also is it okay if i use the legendary sword?

[slow eagle]

Have you learned to use the loot filter tool

[pearl raft]

along with this build

[crystal jackal]

which sword?

[pearl raft]

probably nope i just use the guides filter

lol

this one

[slow eagle]

I’d assume the guides filter would mark items with that affix on it for scrapping

[pearl raft]

is there a way i icould check it?

[crystal jackal]

add a filter logic like this at the top of your filter

[crystal jackal]

probably filter line 5

[slow eagle]

What deew said

[crystal jackal]

no, 5 is for exalted only

[slow eagle]

Darn

[pearl raft]

wait gimme a sec

[crystal jackal]

might be in here

[pearl raft]

im getting overwhelemd

so this is my filter

from the guide i just copied

[pearl raft]

ill look for it

wait

aaa its checked

its just rare i gues

[crystal jackal]

how many total things are marked under that rule?

[pearl raft]

wdym

[crystal jackal]

you should have gotten it by lvl 80

[crystal jackal]

8 total

easy to miss if there are any common drops in there

I would just make a filter like I posted above and put it at the top of the filter list

like this

[pearl raft]

got it

thank you

[crystal jackal]

do you know how to create crafigt shards with shattter and removal runes?

[pearl raft]

whats that T_T

[crystal jackal]

the 2 runes to the top left there

[pearl raft]

what does it do

is it for taking the affix?

when i get one?

[slow eagle]

Shattering explodes the item and gives a random number of shards (a T3 affix would give 0-3 of its shard)

Removal consumes fp and removes a single affix and returns all the shards for the particular affix it hits

[pearl raft]

isee

[slow eagle]

You can use them the shards on other items

ALSO when crafting something you care about use glyphs of hope (the blue glyph) as it can save fp

[crystal jackal]

once you make the filter rule I showed you, pick up all those items,
if they can't be crafted into an upgrade, you should at the very least shatter them, preferably use removal if you have enough tunes

[pearl raft]

im using this all the time

XD

[slow eagle]

Also merchants stock like 6 or so shattering runes for 2k each

[crystal jackal]

and this should start building up those affix shards for you to craft them

[slow eagle]

I’m addicted to buying them

I have like 3000+

I need more

[pearl raft]

isee im kindda not understanding it but im getting the hang of it

[slow eagle]

That’s the spirit

[pearl raft]

this what keeps me motivated

[pearl raft]

hello i also have a question

my skills here says it max

but in here its 26 allocation points

is there something im missing?

[fallen parcel]

Skills have a baseline limit of 20 now you can get items that increase your skill levels or exalted items usually in either chest,helmet or relic slot can have a +4 to example in your case judgement, in your case you are going to need a exalted relic with plus 4 to judgement then probably slam that into a twisted hearth at the cache of eternity in temporal sanctum.

Amulet nihilis evolution gives plus 2 to skill

[red sentinel]

@icy drift Following up on the other thread, I mean that non-companion minions impact it, which is why I gave examples of bees. Whether or not I have non-companion minion out impacts the behavior of the wolf permanent companion node.

[pearl raft]

aa isee thank you for that

[red sentinel]

@icy drift Here is a detailed example

Setup:

• My character specs into Permanent Bond on the wolf tree.
• For simplicity, summon wolf is the only companion skill on my action bar. I do not want any other non-companion minions.
• I have a Keeper's idol, which summons a number of bees every 10 seconds (bees are non-companion minions).

Scenario 1: Load into an area with the idol equipped:

• Game auto-summons one wolf from Permanent Bond and 2 bees. I should still be able to summon another wolf.
• The wolf ability on my action bar is Howl and not summoning wolves up to my companion limit.

Scenario 2: Load into an area without the idol equpped:

• Game auto-summons one wolf from Permanent Bond. No bees are summoned because the idol is in my inventory.
• The wolf ability on my action bar is Summon Wolves, which lets me summon more up to my companion limit.

Scenario 3: I unspec Permanent Bond and equip the Keeper's Idol.

• Load into an area, no wolf companions are auto summoned, 2 bees are summoned.
• The companion ability on my action bar is summoning wolves

The only difference between the two here is the non-companion minion, which is interfering. The idol is not impacting my max companion count, but essentially, the game is counting non-companion minions as companions for the purpose of the limit for wolves only and only when permanent bond is specced.

That's what people are saying in regards to a bug. We're not trying to mix and match companions, ie I'm not trying to do like 2 wolves and 3 crows or something. Permanent bond is bugging out and sometimes thinking you're at your companion limit when you're not.

[desert tree]

There are a few bugs with permanent bond yeah
Having a Warcry Totem will prevent you from summoning wolves

[red sentinel]

Yep, I just clarifying because I was asked to ping someone here with details because there's conflicting views about whether permanent bond is bugged or not

Any non-companion minion will prevent you from summoning wolves

[desert tree]

Yeah, it's pretty annoying

[slow eagle]

@desert tree

Nuke that bot

[crystal jackal]

can you chance dex to attuenemt on a slamed unique?

[blazing glacier]

No

Requires 1 fp, uniques dont have fp

[indigo scarab]

Are they all back from vacation?

[faint cape]

Mike is still gone, he's the only one we really know was on vacation

Well, the studio was also closed from Christmas to now though, so I guess the answer is yes

but it's the weekend so them being actually back will more likely start on the 5th

[worthy plover]

which harbinger with boss abilities is considered easiest to farm for eyes out of curiosity? Any particular timeline? I am thinking maybe Lagon? Did that one just fire waves back and forth?

[candid elm]

i like the larger "male" harbingers over the smaller "female" ones. maybe i'm just more used to their attack patterns or something. like these harbingers:
Black Sun - Hatred
Reign of Dragons - Destruction
Age of Winter - Tyranny
Spirits of Fire - Ash
Fall of the Outcasts - Defilement

but if there's a boss drop you're also farming, that can be ideal. like i'm often farming Reign of Dragons for the Twisted Heart drop, so also farming Harbinger of Destruction at the same time just makes sense. Destruction also doesn't get much from the boss mechanics, you just have to watch for that cone DoT attack which is pretty well telegraphed and gives you some good free damage time.

[worthy plover]

I think I do prefer the big ogre guy over the woman who blitz's me with these one liners. She just one shot me with one again, but I'm getting closer to the threshold for not being one shot by her clearly as she only 69'd me that time. I get what you mean though maybe I should do one of the other guys they suit my build a bit better maybe for dodging and also I drop so much aoe myself I can't always see the line she draws until it splits me in two. I just really want to take Aberroth down as he is new to me since Iast played and I burned all my eyes learning him when I had even less hp than now lol

I'm actually only using one unique the primoridial ring and then everything else is a set affix on an item except for my sceptre lol but its super fun and seems better than i thought it would be when I started doing it even

[fallen parcel]

The reign of dragons timeline is the best easy boss,harbinger and great maps for farming, I personally farm rayeh boss cause I need as many worldsplitter as I can get maybe a 3lp someday 😅

[bright ether]

do you have very low hp

[worthy plover]

I am not that low I think but have managed to get it up to 2.4k now, I did kill Aberroth and am only pushing about 650 corruption so far but it feels fine even with my unoptimized gear rolls lol, ideally I'd like another 2k hitpoints or so I think from what I have seen. I honestly just love leaping in and dropping huge mana dumps and then jumping out again. I think fury leap as a dodge with Heorots Leap perkis honestly the only reason it works at all but it feels pretty devastating and fun to play.

Im pretty sure if my gear was better it would feel great but I put quite extreme filters on to stop wasting so much time looking at gear tbh. I probably need to turn them back down to get more drops. Or just keep raising my corruption higher now as I have mostly been screwing about

Actually that is what I have ended up using, I am enjoying the way I can make use the set affixes now, sets were guff last time I played but now they seem pretty awesome. I am well aware it is a mess currently but you get the idea.

2.4k hp seems really low for 650 corruption tbh

i recommend you drop corruption

wait, you are already level 100?

you are probably losing a lot of stats by using set bonuses + legends entwined tbh

[crystal jackal]

how much reflected dmg to attackers am I supposed to get from the last row on the unique chest?

it's giving me 86

it's not counting the phys res from the chest itself.
that's got to be a bug, right?

[bright ether]

how do you know its only giving you 86?

[crystal jackal]

there's a row in the char pane that shows how much you got

[bright ether]

yea, so you are saying its only showing 86 reflected damage? because the chest itself already gives you at least 123 reflect

[bright ether]

try using lastepochtools to get a breakdown

[crystal jackal]

wait...

first screenshot shows 478 and now it's 446

there's definitely a bug here.

when I put the chest on, it's not using the phys res granted by the chest
when when I change form, it starts using it

[bright ether]

use lastepochtools, its giving me a correct breakdown

with 176% physical resist, LET is showing my chest is giving me +299 reflect damage, which is correct

[crystal jackal]

it's not "correct" if the game is showing something else.

but yeah, there's a bug in the game and LEtools is showing what it bomes in combat

becomes*

[bright ether]

i just checked and my reflect build has 96178 in game (no buffs) and 96174 in LET

and its probably due to a rounding issue

[crystal jackal]

are you playing paladin?

[bright ether]

im playing shaman

[crystal jackal]

must not have summoned your spriggan yet then

but yeah, the bug resolves itself once you start playing

you would only see it when equipping the chest

[bright ether]

i do have the chest equipped though

and that was in town with no buffs

[crystal jackal]

the only thing I did was unequip the chest and put it back on

7093 after chaning zones
6868 after removing/Addign chest
7093 after changing zones again

[bright ether]

when you enter the game on this character, does it say 7093?

[crystal jackal]

yeah, since it's a "zone change"

[bright ether]

i just tried re-equipping the chest and i saw the damage reflect stat go to 94k, but then it quickly went back to 96k

not sure why its not adjusting for you

im playing offline though, maybe it updates stats less often online or something

[kindred zephyr]

❓Can't find a definitive answer anywhere.

• I'm fishing for a specific +Level of Skill affix with a Rune of Discovery
• I see that some of the +Level of Skill affixes have a minimum level requirement (on lastepochtools.com, let's say)

Does it matter at what point I start using Runes of Discovery? I.e. waiting to be certain level, or using the rune on the item only found in higher level zones?
For one, in all my time playing I don't believe I've ever gotten an item with Rune of Discovery that I can't use, but perhaps I misunderstand what does the "minimum level requirement" stipulated for affixes on community sites actually represents

Thanks

[worthy plover]

I am starting to think that there is a pretty major bug with minimap markers always pointing towards random tomb entrances on non-tomb maps instead of my objective. Just now as well I had "Slay enemies to find the Sun Gate" then I had "Seal the Sun Gate" the whole time unable to see my max opacity minimap marker indicating anywhere to go to do so, but then getting a faint ping on map, and then getting marker for a tomb. When I approached the tomb, my "Seal the Sun Gate" changed to "Defeat the Ambush" and I was ambushed outside the tomb and completed the echo.

This seems really strange. Also, the tomb marker showing me where they are on non-tomb maps is very annoying on minimap, and also the complete absence of actual objective markers for things I am actually meant to be doing. But that last mission it seems my objective actually changed as well. It was very odd. Or is the tomb entrance a sun gate? It wasn't something I had to click on and kill things to seal, I just got ambushed running around outside it.

[ionic void]

for skill nodes that say "with [weapon type]" do those function if that weapon in in your off hand? for example, if i have the flay node that gives extra attack speed with a dagger can i activate that with a dagger in my off hand?

[pearl token]

Getting back into the game after some time, what do you guys usually prioritize for progression once you reach endgame? Unlock empowered asap then farm one empowered until 200c before branching out?

[pearl token]

That has been a thing since tombs were introduced sadly

[sonic saddle]

i prioritise empowered blessings first

but yeah pushing one mono's corr then catchuping the rest is the most efficient way to go about getting all the harbs

[pearl token]

I was thinking 200c because I think all uniques can drop at this point unless my info is outdated

[sonic saddle]

so

[pearl token]

But yeah good call on blessings

[sonic saddle]

the only uniques that's relevant to

are orobyss uniques

technically speaking there is uniques locked behind 300 corr

aberroth drops and woven echo majasa shield

but unless you know those are very relevant/important to your build early on then eh

not major concerns

[pearl token]

I think branching out makes more sense for the completeness feeling of progression

Bit less mundane while you get starter items too

[sonic saddle]

well

if there's relevant timeline boss items

or harb items

you'll want to farm that timeline

like melee VK builds push black sun cos they get world splitter from it

[pearl token]

True

[sonic saddle]

which is very build relevant

usually their BiS

[pearl token]

Depends on early uniques needed yeah

[sonic saddle]

and if you can push

it's better to push

than constantly resetting to a lower corr by going to a different timeline

also 300 corr is where you get access to rampant coast

which is one of the best farming things

oh, @pearl token pro tip: grab this node at the top of your weaver tree early

one of the hardest weaver echoes to get is the exiled mage one

which only drops from them

enemies being possessed gives them a large bump to increased rarity in their drops

so it can really help with getting that weaver echo

and never use up your stock of them, always keep one

[pearl token]

Awesome ty

[pearl raft]

how do i get to slam 2 stats?

[sonic saddle]

find an item with 2lp

[pearl raft]

isee ty

[sonic saddle]

legendary potential goes up to 4, with each step being exponentially rarer than the last

[bright ether]

its not very useful in my experience, unless you want to farm that woven echo

you dont want to clear the whole tomb/cemetary most of the time as its inefficient (requires backtracking)

[sonic saddle]

they generally spawn on the way

[pearl token]

How do you guys setup your CoF lens? First two seems better to block out arena/dungeon prophecies eh?

[sonic saddle]

and you want to get at least one

to get the weaver tree point

[bright ether]

1 lens to block non-monolith prophecies. then the lens to double rewards and the one to be able to use the prophecy 2x

[pearl token]

So block the activity you do the least then? I assume that’s usually arena

[bright ether]

theres a lens to block everything that isnt the monolith

[pearl token]

Oh damn, hadn’t seen that

Nice

[pearl token]

Is it a bit silly to go all in on loot lizards in weaver tree and imprinting barnacle king echo? 😛

[bright ether]

barnacle king is bad, imprint rampant coast instead to farm ancient bones and convert it to amber to buy unclaimed troves

then use lostwood folly + unclaimed troves

[desert tree]

Or imprint what you find fun and enjoy, that works too

[crystal jackal]

Look at the bottom of the tooltip. It says there what the odds are that you get the item with 1LP, 2 ,3 and 4.

Then you slam it like usual and pray that you get the second stat that you want on the slam. If you don’t. You start over again.

[storm blaze]

<@&1161418687471956101>

[worthy plover]

What exactly counts as a "Lost Cache" is it the big caches on each map only? Or is it like, all the regular chests in tombs as well? Or the sometimes fancier chests at the end of Tombs? Or is it the chest on the echo rewards island?

And does "gifting" and "resonance" not apply to Solo Self Character I assume, is it like basically a way of saying it's character bound or something? Are those merchant faction things?

[slow eagle]

lost caches shouldn't count the one in the lil post echo island, they should be the ones you find in echos that are named like "Lost Guardian's cache, lost runesmith's cache, etc."

also use the unclaimed trove woven echo with that imprint

Resonance and gifting is a system where when you play with someone else for enough time you get a resonance with them, which means you can give them an item without using the mechant guild's market. If your playing by yourself, this doesnt apply

[pearl token]

Would like some feedback on my loot filter approach because it seems like upgrades are a bit few and far between

I basically have a rule for each item slot where I pick the good base subtypes and the 4-6 best affixes. I start by showing items with at least 1 of these affixes and look at drops to determine whether it’s worth crafting on

As I get upgrades I restrict the bases and the amount of affixes required to display

Also show T7 exalted for good slams

Is this a good approach? Just now starting empowered monos as smite machinegun but feels like damage is stagnating a bit. Haven’t gotten a devotion or culnivar yet, still using palarus and aurelis

I feel like public/guide loot filters tend to show too much, end up looking more at items than playing. Playing on handheld so inventory management isn’t the smoothest

Playing offline as CoF since I’m away from home and don’t always have a connection

Using runes of ascendance on CoF sceptres for culnivar but no luck yet

[slow eagle]

thats a fairly okay approach, tho personally I would add additional recoloring rules instead of replacing the same rule for an item slot, so you can see more options as your clearing monos.

ie: end up with an okay item being blue, a better one being pink and a super good item being green (or whatever colors you like)

As for your builds damage, I can take a look at it if you import it into Last epoch tools (website)'s build planner and share the build. Chances are tho your build is gonna want some T6 and T7 affixes as those are a significant jump up from T5 affixes

[crystal jackal]

that's what I do.
are you sure you haven't messed up the affix advance options?

I tend to stick to total affix tier and not tier of individual
since tiers are locked behind area lvl

[pearl token]

Not using any advanced options yet since it’s early endgame

Gear is showing, just not replacing often despite most pieces being so-so

[crystal jackal]

nothing that drops is going to be better than a well crafted item for a long time while lvling

[pearl token]

Good call on the multiple rules, been a bit lazy with the duplicating 🥲

[crystal jackal]

you basically need to look for items that are a bit worse, but can be crafted into something better

and know what scales your build so you focus on the right affixes

[pearl token]

I might just be overestimating the amount of upgrades I should be getting at this point

[crystal jackal]

actually no, I dont do what you do

I keep the affixes same and increase total affiz tiers of:
as I go

[pearl token]

Coming from D4 where you replace each slot every few mins, probably just not used to this game’s progression speed

[slow eagle]

Def once your in empowered monos it slows down

Tho using the imprint slots on your weaver tree helps a lot

Which in short is

Put item in imprint slot -> more items like it drop from that slots trigger (affixes, forging potential, base type, etc.)

[pearl token]

Aye just starting to unlock imprint slots

[crystal jackal]

Don’t know what build you’re playing. But crafting new weapons as you go can be super important

If you build scales off base dmg

[pearl token]

The aurelis/culnivar smite machine gun

Using unique weapons, I put aurelis in an imprint slot to fish for some LP

Or base ones to stick in the nemesis

Stacking atunement everywhere I can for smite

[crystal jackal]

Not sure what build that is. Not at the computer atm. But isn’t smite a spell that scales with base spell dmg?

Don’t know what those unique do.
But smite scales with base spell dmg at 150%

[pearl token]

There’s a bit of flat on aurelis but I’m probably missing some from not having culnivar yet

Atonement gives % increase to smite as well

Maybe I should’ve focused on strength while using palarus since that gives flat spell

[crystal jackal]

attunement gives you 4% increased
smite has a base of 30

aurelis has up to 28 base spell lightning at 150% effecive rate

30+28*1,5= 72 base

the bad wand there is 30+44*1,5= 96 base
the good one is 117, all fire that you can then scale with a fire dmg mod
and you can craft the wad with both that and more base spell or spell inc

not sure how many more smites you can do with aurelis mulitstrike proc and the extra 2 lvls, but it will have to be quite a bit to out dmg a base crafted wand

at least until you can start slamming your uniques

[pearl token]

Think the build wants to go straight to the uniques even without slams because of a lot of atk speed when using swords but will double check

From passives, skills etc

Appreciate the help a lot btw, very helpful

[crystal jackal]

You can just calc dmg per smite and multiply with amount of hits you get with multistike.
And the. Calc dmg you would get with Wands and cast speed

[crystal jackal]

But yeah. If you wanna play the build, you’re gonna have to stick to the uniques and have the dmg you have.

[pearl token]

Using this btw for reference

Holy trail / judgement were a lot simpler to gear and scale 😛

[desert tree]

I am not a fan of Culnivar

You dont lack Crit Chance

Use Mad Ladle instead

[pearl token]

I think not having Devotion amulet makes a big difference too

Could be another 40 flat with increased and pen too

[desert tree]

Ah yes, its pretty mandatory

[desert tree]

200 Flat you mean ^^

[pearl token]

Should probably farm winter for that

[desert tree]

Getting to 1k mana is relatively easy

[pearl token]

Haha mana pool isn’t too hot yet

[desert tree]

Prophecies and runes of Ascencion are your best bet

Echo reward is unfortunately the worst target farming tech nowadays

[pearl token]

Yeah been using prophecies on jewelry

[desert tree]

Imprinting uniques amulets could help you too

[pearl token]

For devotion and orian ring

[desert tree]

Try doing an amulet specifically

Odds are way better

[pearl token]

I can imprint any unique amu and it’ll increase odds of getting devo?

[desert tree]

When the imprint will procc it will try to drop an unique amulet , and then try to change it

If you are lucky you could get a devotion

Its not very reliable

But its more odds

[pearl token]

Interesting

[desert tree]

Its very low odds, but if you are in dire need of the amulet, its worth doing it

It doesnt cost you anything

[pearl token]

Opportunity cost! But yeah probably my biggest upgrade at this point

[crystal jackal]

Anything needed to get the build you wanna play is worth any opportunity cost.
You can worry about efficiency once you’re playing the build you wanna play

If you want a different take on this

I got around 10M dps

[shut walrus]

hey whats a good way to cleanse yourself of negative ailments?

[ionic void]

depends strongly on your class

if you're not a paladin, rogue, or primalist it can be annoying to get

[shut walrus]

im a spellblade mage

[burnt crag]

belt potion 100% cleanse mod

[shut walrus]

is it worth the affix?

[toxic echo]

Seal it at t1 works finr

Or enchant weapon has a cleanse node

And depending on build frostwall too

But belt is generally easiest

[shut walrus]

i have to recast enchant weapon for the cleanse to take effect right

im not manually using it

[toxic echo]

Auto cast should work

[sonic saddle]

Can anyone ingame rn screenshot the forgotten knights rank 9 bonus for me?

[desert tree]

From Tunkslab

Let me boot a character

[worthy plover]

what does it mean for a loot lizard to drop its tail?

[desert tree]

No idea what you are talking about

Lizard tail doesnt exist

[worthy plover]

This weaver tree node, I just noticed it and was thinking, I've never noticed one drop it's tail before lol

[desert tree]

Lizard tail doesnt exist

[worthy plover]

the mystery alone makes me want more weaver points to get it lol

[brazen remnant]

Max roll.gg is garbage for leveling a character. i'm level 16 paladin and getting rekt and the armor they suggest is crap

[worthy plover]

just make a build up, isn't paladin super strong with anything?

[terse galleon]

You can share character profile if you load it into lastepochtools

[brazen remnant]

this is the guide i'm following https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides/paladin-leveling-guide

[desert tree]

For now, they dont do anything

There are 5 colors of tails

[terse galleon]

lets leave the guide aside for a moment

[brazen remnant]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/profile/MellowFresh/character/Yosupbro

[terse galleon]

I assume the website isn't updated to your current masteries

which skills did you master into atm?

You should have one in Healing Hands, one in Rive

[brazen remnant]

scroll up i put a pic on

Split greatsword

i put fire damage as my main damage

[worthy plover]

Why can I get prophecies for x24 boots at a time, but only x6 gloves?

[terse galleon]

It doesnt show the masteries

Masteries is your main skill window

Juggernaught sorry

Conviction 1/8

[terse galleon]

Can you upload an image of your skills window?

I believe its the S key

[brazen remnant]

I did upload it lol

[terse galleon]

I dont see it

[brazen remnant]

Can you see it

[worthy plover]

click on the little scroll left of your mana and portal and click on skills

[terse galleon]

Skills, this is the skills window

S key leads here.

[worthy plover]

s is also down if you use WASD though

[terse galleon]

Skills, skills window, this window #❔┃ask-the-community message

Not the passive one

[terse galleon]

ok so, the idea is that by now, you need to despecialize your hammers

and instead, use the two slots that are available to you to specialize Rive

And soon, also Healing Hands

Skill specialization is what allows us to spec into their skill trees

[terse galleon]

These are the 5 first nodes the guide recommends specializing Rive into

[brazen remnant]

i don't have healing hands yet

[terse galleon]

Which should be available to you

Its ok, you will get to Healing Hands by the time you quest a bit more

Remember that questing grants passive points, not just leveling

You can start with Rive and its first 5 points

[brazen remnant]

what about gear and affixes and idols? this is the part i get so annoyed on

[terse galleon]

leave that for now, it will grow naturally as you quest and level up

its not important at this stage

[brazen remnant]

so just use whatever armor?

[terse galleon]

Make sure that in your map (default M key) you didn't leave behind any quests that may grant passive points

[brazen remnant]

max roll doesn't help me with idols

[terse galleon]

Armor can be mostly "whatever", do prefer wearing items with suiting stats as much as possible

idols are not really important at the early leveling stage

[brazen remnant]

oh okay i'll get rid of them in my stash

[terse galleon]

You could use them later to plug resistances

Dont throw away idols, you should have plenty of stash space

when leveling, stash size is the last thing that should worry you

[slow eagle]

get a stash tab and set its affinity (auto sort) to idols and just dump every idol into it (an idol found in zone 1 of the campaign can still be good late game, tho enchanted/weaver idols replace them eventually)

having a really big stash of idols makes gearing later a lot easier

ie: you get a helmet thats a big upgrade... but now you need more fire resistance -> just swap out an idol and your good

[sonic saddle]

Idols are basically impossible to get specific stuff on till endgame

Just slot in w/e is helpful

[brazen remnant]

I’d do have 3 stash tabs actually

[brazen remnant]

I like voice chatting I hate typing honestly I’m bad at it

[tranquil drift]

Why does rive with void conversion DPS by almost 400 with increased +melee void damage vs the +melee phys damage? I thought with the void conversion phys damage doesn't do anything

[slow eagle]

converting should only affect the base damage and adaptive damage (the just +30 melee damage thats an implicit), the +25 melee physical is still added as physical damage and isnt converted

[tranquil drift]

Oh duh okay thanks

[slow eagle]

as for why the less flat damage is doing more dps, probably the attack speed comboed with you having more void dmg scaling than generic melee or physical damage scaling

wait no both have attack speed

thats your void damage scaling then

[quiet terrace]

<@&1161418687471956101>

[worthy plover]

is there still no way to stop crafting from causing critical success and consuming crafting attempts instead of actually giving any benefit? I would have had one more glyph of envy chance on this item but instead it just bricked it one attempt early. Really frustrating this crafting system at times.

I also wish glyphs of envy worked when you used runes it would even be helpful in this situation but also something I had considered a lot before too before wasting rarer affix shards on an item you want to try and use envy on just to have it brick and try to shatter them back.

crit avoidance will be solved once I hit 85 with leonine helm base

ignore unspent skill points, that's from moving Aurelis around before logging off

Is there any way to view detailed calcs on Smite in LE tools?

[pearl token]

Damage did pick up quite a bit from replacing palarus with culnivar, decent exalted helm too

Just dropped a 1LP Devotion let’s goooo

[crystal jackal]

On the phone. Are you converting smite to lighting somewhere?

[pearl token]

Yes in the smite skill tree

Order of lagon, top right

[crystal jackal]

You have a lot of ”dead stats” for being lvl 77 on your rare items.

Left your rings för instance.

[pearl token]

Yeah not much luck on ring drops so far

[crystal jackal]

What are you filtering for?

Try making a ring filter, select useful affixes and set ”total tier of affixes” to quite a low value.
If you’re getting too many drops increase it.
And then use them to craft

Do you know how to ”create” affixes for crafting?

[pearl token]

By adding them on an empty prefix/suffix? yeah

Filtering mostly for offensive on ring, not restrictive at all

Str, attunement, crit, spell dmg, lightning dmg etc

[crystal jackal]

I mean if you are low on e.g. hybrid life crafting affixes. How you can make more of them?

[pearl token]

Rune of removal on drops

Think my dmg went up like 6x since yesterday with culnivar, devotion and new helm

Rings definitely next

Trying to maximize xp with weaver tree for CoF favor and levelling

Is there a way to reroll stat ranges on uniques?

[cloud summit]

There is a weaver echo (gauntlet of strife) that allows you to sacrifice the same unique-base with the same amount of affixes/LP or higher to reroll all of the affixes on an unique/legendary

[pearl token]

Awesome ty

[crystal jackal]

1 LP you wanna reroll before the slam. And 2LP after.

[worthy plover]

TIL Gauntlet of Strife is a thing. Is that one a specific drop from anywhere?

[desert tree]

Its a woven echo

[worthy plover]

I just had a loot lizard that pops when it dies into 5 other loot lizards and they seemed to "appear" behind it almost as if from it's tail. I am wondering if lizard tails means, they explode into more lizards when they die perhaps?

[desert tree]

No , Lizard tail is an pickable item

[desert tree]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/search?query=lizard tail&in_description=1&exact_match=0

[worthy plover]

Interesting, what are they keys for? Or is that like a buff for lizards in a dungeon?

[toxic echo]

no one knows what they are used for

if they actually do anything

afaik no one has gotten all colors at once

and the devs have said nothing

[worthy plover]

Lizard Level! nice! lol

[candid elm]

There is no lizard level.

[worthy plover]

I wasn't paying attention last time I didn't realize

[candid elm]

Then they'll do LE2 and there will actually be a secret lizard level

[storm blaze]

They're used in "grow your own lizard" kit

No success so far

Also this is a joke, there's no kit like that in LE

[worthy plover]

What about these Cuckoos? Are they completely random or are they higher tier or anything?

[crystal jackal]

servers down?

[desert tree]

Random

[desert tree]

I have a feeling Mike said they dont do anything for now

[storm blaze]

Yeah, I'm quite sure Mike has said that

[pearl token]

Any generally useful woven echos recommended to imprint in early empowered monos?

[graceful cliff]

Well the best thing to imprint no matter what is rampant coast.

Not just bc of what you get but also bc it appears way way more often than any other.

Also another really big hint if you are trying to min/max the early monos is to build up some lostwood follys and false temples.

place a folly and 5 temples around it run the folly first then the temples and you will sky rocket in progression for the most important things where you are.

[pearl raft]

is rune of havoc the only thing i can use to transfer tiers?

[pearl token]

Thanks! Out of curiosity why false temple? To make clearing it easier from shrine buffs?

[graceful cliff]

Yes but its also bc they are very cheap from the vendor plus pack size and map size.

In fact its great till you have enough amber finished weaver tree then you switch to unclaimed troves instead of temple PLUS party play to sustain the amber.

You are def on the right track though of why it works so well at that stage.

I even farmed them and raised a different timeline up a little and put only those on it knowing I would have shrine buffs and such.

Raised the temple timeline up in corruption'

[candid elm]

Havoc shuffles the tiers around. It's currently the only crafting option that shuffles the tiers.

[pearl raft]

yea and its super rare T_T

[candid elm]

Rift Beasts with Rune drop evolutions is an option. If you're playing CoF, can do generic Rune Prophecies as well. There isn't currently a Prophecy specifically for Havoc.

[pearl raft]

rift beasst is the best method?

[candid elm]

Well you have to hopefully get offered evolutions with Runes as the reward. So it can be a pain to setup. Prophecies are going to be easier to setup.

You can do both though.

Oh there's also the Lightless Arbor Vault door, if you have a lot of extra money and/or are playing MG.

[pearl raft]

whats more important in here

[pearl token]

Appreciate the tips ty!

[graceful cliff]

@pearl token Yw and if you continue to be interested in min/maxing feel free to hit me up. 🙂

[pearl token]

probably will! although I’m still pretty early endgame so wouldn’t call it min maxing haha

let’s say I already beat a harbinger at 100c in spirits of fire but I want to farm another timeline harbinger, I would need to raise to 125c to make it spawn after boss and be farmable yeah? that and the harbinger woven echo

[graceful cliff]

For pushing corruption including for the quest the best thing to do is pick a timeline and push it up the highest. Then all your other timelines will get a catch up mechanic.

Main thing is to see if your build needs a boss unique and focus there including blessings and all.

[pearl token]

yeah I know about pushing corr, just confirming mechanic to be able to farm the harby

[graceful cliff]

BUT its still best in most cases to farm those temples super early. Look at it as steps. Go a little at a time. For each unless there are times you need to focus then do one more than the others.

[pearl token]

I’ll get blessings first then use temple farming to get woven rank and stability for boss kills at same time

[graceful cliff]

Same thing you need a bit more farm. The best way to farm a timeline boss is later on once you have some temporal keystones. You then use them to go boss woven echo boss woven echo.

[reef tiger]

Guys can anyone of you help me with farming a lots of gold? struggling with that rn

[graceful cliff]

I agree with that plan. I would only do it slightly different. I would do a few sets of temples now to get a little ahead. Even more dmg on bosses makes things caster.

Faster'

Hardest part I found was finding the right blend bw doing all of that PLUS target farming the uniques needed for the build. Best thing also for early imprints.

[pearl token]

most uniques coming together from prophecies luckily enough, not a lot of LP though, using imprint and feeding to nemesis for that

[graceful cliff]

Very nice. I would call that the highest prio so you are well on your way already.

You are already pretty far ahead and prolly just missing a few nuances only at this point. 🙂

[candid elm]

As in you can only choose one for your Judgement Paladin? Maybe Healing Effectiveness. Consecrated Ground gets +1 flat spell damage per 5% Healing Effectiveness. And there's also a passive in the Paladin tree, Righteous Firebrand, that gives you a little Fire Penetration from Healing Effectiveness. You probably want to ask over in #🔱┃sentinel though to make sure, though

[nimble glen]

Hello, i am thinking about buying Last Epoch. I am kind of tired of the dark and grim settings of ARPGS and wanted to ask if Last Epoch is maybe a little bit more colorful.

[crystal jackal]

Did you look at the pictures on steam and online?

My non-artist rankning would be D3 most colorful, then LE.

[nimble glen]

yes but it doesnt give me a good expression.

[reef tiger]

so it looks like this if this can halp you

[nimble glen]

is it sponky horror game like d4?

[crystal jackal]

No

[nimble glen]

thats good

[crystal jackal]

You need to be very easy to scare to be frightened by LE

[nimble glen]

i don't like the horror setting from D4. It makes me feel depressed. So hopefully LE will be lighter for me.

[ionic void]

LE has a stretch of the campaign that more grim aesthetically but it doesn’t revel in the aesthetic the way Diablo does

[nimble glen]

okay, thanks for the info

[candid elm]

Some parts of it are very colorful and others are dark. The game has some time travel where you go to different time periods and the Ancient Era is pretty colorful and bright while the Ruined Era is all dark and corrupted.

[candid elm]

The Season 3 announcement stuff here https://lastepoch.com/beneath-ancient-skies shows some new Ancient Era locations and you can see an example of some the brighter areas in the game in the little clip near the top where it says new chapter

[nimble glen]

thank you very much. I like the colorful landscapes in some parts of the trailer

[candid elm]

And the Season 2 announcement stuff here https://lastepoch.com/tombs-of-erased shows an example of some the tombs/cemeteraries that are on the darker side

So it's going to vary based on where you are in the game.

[sonic saddle]

The setting is pretty grim lorewise

The landscapes can be quite colorful

Like the lore isn't full grimdark "even the good guys would be evil in other settings" sorta thing but other than us the good guys straight up lose

[ionic void]

For now. The thing about time travel is you a loss doesn’t have to stay a loss

[rocky rapids]

<@&1161418687471956101>

[sonic saddle]

Maybe, we don't know.

We seem to have direct evidence that our actions in the past have set the timeline on a negative path.

With how yulia knows us and the plan to kill the immortal emperor with the lance of heliod

At no point have we seen evidence of us changing the past

At the very least events seem to occur regardless without our intervention

Alternatively our intervention always happened

[faint cape]

Not our actions exactly, it seems like that stuff would have happened with or without us

but I think we pretty much know how the story will end whenever the last chapters release

[slow eagle]

<@&1161418687471956101> theres another scam bot

[bright ether]

should just travel to the primordial era and kill the observer when he's a baby

[indigo scarab]

Makes sense Diablo 4 is full of satanic occult antichrist imagery and so on.

[pearl token]

Couple imprinting questions - for uniques, does putting in a legendary make a difference compared to the base unique item? Should you keep the highest LP you have in there to try to get higher LP drops?

For exalted imprints, what’s the overall progression step? Hope for a T6 of the item type you want and slot it in until you get T7 of proper affix?

Then leapfrog as you get better imprinting copies

[bright ether]

apparently the LP does matter, yes

[pearl token]

So for uniques put in your first copy then try to increase the LP in the imprint gradually as better ones drop

The imprint ladder 😛

[crystal jackal]

does druid form rampage travel at the same speed as your movement speed before any skill tree modifiers?

[faint cape]

Yes, also update the imprint with your best rolls, too, since the drops are more likely to have the same rolls as the imprint

[pearl token]

Thanks!

[graceful cliff]

@pearl token Putting the high LP good rolls is a good way but don’t forget you can put multi stat legendaries there as well. It’s best to go with highest LP equivalent and best rolls.

Exalted me are much harder bc they are difficult to get without gifting. You can work them up as you say but takes a long time and a lot of farm.

[pearl token]

So a legendary from nemesis with two affixes would be the same as a 2 LP for the imprint?

[storm blaze]

yes

[pearl token]

That is very interesting

[graceful cliff]

For that I highly recommend checking out some YouTube. FROZENSENTINEL is a great source!

There are in depth guides for imprinting and late game crafting. You will really want both.

[pearl token]

Yeah I read the maxroll imprint guide but it was a bit meh

First step: get double T7

Well yeah…

[graceful cliff]

I wouldn’t mind helping but for the more deep stuff most of the time I have got on a discord call to keep from all the typing.

[pearl token]

Will check out frozensentinel for sure, ty

[graceful cliff]

Yeah Raxx has some other stuff as well The FROZENSENTINEL has pretty much all you need.

[pearl token]

I feel like I have a good general knowledge of how it works, using rune of havoc to switch T7 affix etc but most guides don’t tell you how you progress from 0 to that point

[graceful cliff]

Yeah it’s a long process for solo. BUT party play makes that trivial.

[pearl token]

Almost done gathering blessings

[graceful cliff]

Yes solo you need a bunch of neme and it’s an entire thing no doubt!
(I am still doing some of it to this day in league).

But farming with us we can gift you your first pieces then all your solo farm gets better. It will snowball from there very quickly.

[pearl token]

Ah that’s a nice offer for sure but have to play offline at the moment since I’m abroad and don’t always have a connection

And I like the SSF feeling of earning your stuff

[graceful cliff]

For sure! To each their own and all. It is certainly still doable to get pretty far without gifting. Just takes more dedication time and farm.

[storm blaze]

<@&1161418687471956101>

[crystal jackal]

This basically just means doing nemesis and empowering them.

[blazing glacier]

I will add that some of the maxroll imprint knowledge is a bit out of date from stuff we've learned the last couple months

Ill probably do another update at some point before S4 and go over it with Bina

[graceful cliff]

🙌🙌

[blazing glacier]

1. Nemesis, prophecies, MG, or random drop for 77 base.
2. Imprint 77 base (never craft on your only one)
3. Try to get 77 on the opposite slots of desired affix (need havoc, they wont move naturally)
4. Try to get 35+ fp, may need multiple iterations.
5. Try to get an open affix and the other as T1, you can yolo removals into the imprint procs as needed.
6. Get base like T7 p + T7 p + T1 s + empty if you want double T7 suffix.
7. Take procs of that, craft desired affix, seal undesired T1, craft second desired
8. Havoc and prayge
9. Use remaining FP to improve other affixes

Thats the simple method. There are other things you can do with seals and Rune of evolution and etc to make better bases, or triple prefix craft like for set reforged I went over in my video.

[pearl token]

awesome, thank you very much for the detailed info!

[storm blaze]

<@&1161418687471956101>

[graceful cliff]

Yup yup those are the exact same methods I have been using.

The only thing I have changed with my high sample size has been I work towards open prefix as fast as I can.

Sometimes even giving up some fp to get on stat prefix PLUS open.

[worthy plover]

So imprints are exact to the tier and empty prefix/suffix then? I was wondering about that.

[graceful cliff]

Your exalted tiers yes therefore open prefix is very strong. But the others do randomize. So unless its a 777 open pre for example.

[faint cape]

Yeah, the drops basically start as a copy of the imprint and are then changed from that to generate the drop

[blazing glacier]

What you mean

[graceful cliff]

I mean that I have noticed it being so much better to craft on an open pre that I prioritize it over fp now.

[blazing glacier]

Oh, I see

[graceful cliff]

I used to work my imprints up and focus on fp but it’s way less efficient. I have been removal spamming everything I get for the open pre.

To me it has seemed less efficient’

Obviously dealing when better but you get me I’m sure.

Sealing’

[blazing glacier]

Hm... Ideally you want FP and open prefix on your optimal base

So you get more havoc attempts

[graceful cliff]

Oh yeah completely agree!

What I have found is getting the open pre THEN working up the fp.

[blazing glacier]

The chance to add a 4th affix is pretty low each iteration so maybe yea

[graceful cliff]

This way while you are upping the fp you are ALSO getting good drops that could tech yield good results from simply an ADD plus havoc.

[blazing glacier]

If your FP is too low though the FP can reset and eat an affix

If you only have 3 it has a high chance to brick

[graceful cliff]

Ohh when I say lower fp I am still meaning like 20 plus.

[blazing glacier]

Ah yea

[graceful cliff]

To me it got way worse trying to get lucky on top of removal landing.

There were time I would removal and land then have like 23 fp and think I should do it again.

[blazing glacier]

I think early on in a league you could make consider FP dumping for the reset intentionally

[graceful cliff]

Later I just started working the fp up from the success.

[delicate bone]

Hello, can someone tp me to the observatory?

[blazing glacier]

Oh this step, yeah I guess you could math this. The chance for the removal having a better outcome than another iteration

[graceful cliff]

To be fair I started over a month left so all of this is only two monthsish but a lot of play time.

[blazing glacier]

For removal to be better you need to hit the 50/50 and also consume less FP, the closer you get to original FP the lower chance you have a better outcome than your method.

If you get a minus 25 fp removal maybe just try again

[graceful cliff]

Yeah exactly. BUT still I found it better (to use same example) to have a 23 fp 777 open pre than anything other than maybe tier 1 instead. Including fp that isn’t under say 20.

[blazing glacier]

If you get minus 10 fp removal maybe continue or something

Ohh I see

[graceful cliff]

Yeah for sure! But plenty of my gear has been crafted off of a 25 fp open pre.

Started there sure but after a few drops even if it doesn’t increase it’s the best base to start with anyhow.

[blazing glacier]

Yeah for 777 you dont really have a reason for a T1, only for 77 you need that

The chance to add a random undesirable 3rd affix is high, chance to add a 4th is low

[graceful cliff]

Yeah for sure things will be different starting fresh I’m sure.

I also didn’t realize how powerful 7777 is making so many 777 and 77 drop. I will be adding that in better for my calculations.

[worthy plover]

Is this season ending soon?

[graceful cliff]

March 26th

[blazing glacier]

Yeah each individually has an iirc 30% or something chance to stay

So more is better, but you lose the control on positioning

[graceful cliff]

Yeah no doubt. Unless I am working on another 4lp I still go for open pre but the increase in drops didn’t seem like a fluke.

[blazing glacier]

I think in theory for 777 crafting you may want a sealed T8 or maybe a sealed T7 and T8 if possible

Thats hard to do though

[graceful cliff]

Yeah it is. I still have nightmares about spark champion belts.

[blazing glacier]

Oh not those sealed

I mean normal seals

Rune of Evo

[graceful cliff]

For sure! Just an opportunity to complain about t7 spark champion (please forgive lol).

[blazing glacier]

Naw I know, I never dropped one

[graceful cliff]

I will have to add in the sealed theories to the beginning. I rocketed through this time so much it barely mattered.

Yeah I could write a book about my belt crafting this league. I have kept the MG clean of them.

[pearl token]

The shade ambush weaver tree node seems very rare, doesn’t seem very worth

[graceful cliff]

Had to get them to drop!! BUT the crafting is even harder lol.

[blazing glacier]

Iirc the ambush doesn't happen in a lot of zones

But yea also rare

[graceful cliff]

I seem to get an oro in about 1/25ish

Yes depending on what maps but troves and beast farms he shows up even in their special zones.

[blazing glacier]

The proc rate might depend on the map too, I forget

[graceful cliff]

Oh btw @blazing glacier I am still very much an LE noob. I certainly don’t want to sound like I have it all figured out.

Learned a lot from you and still am. The way I talk comes across as “know it all-ish.” 😊

It seems to bc I see him way way way more in seps than cenos for example.

[blazing glacier]

I think in ARPGs learning is often a community effort

[graceful cliff]

I completely agree. I enjoy solo testing as much as anyone but there are a handful of amazing late game players here.

Bouncing ideas off of them has been a joy. Excited for a fresh start with S4 no doubt!

Also #Make EE Tradeable 😅

[burnt crag]

I agree, it's what I love about Poe. new tech gets discovered and I get excited to try it / make new builds.

[crystal jackal]

Does anyone know the answer to this?

[desert tree]

Thats not the answer

You are looking at the attack speed

@crystal jackal You should ask in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs
There is no MS change on the character sheet, but you are definitely faster when rampaging

[worthy plover]

well its attack speed would be its movement speed would it not if its a movement attack? And it also says 1.1 isn't that the faster part

I dunno though you are right, probably, if it slows you down when you use it

[desert tree]

No, attack determines at what speed the attack comes out

[faint cape]

To me it feels like when you take the no cooldown rampage node, your rampage moves at base walking speed, but I can't say for sure

if that is actually true, then it would mean base (w/ cooldown) rampage moves you at 1.25x your move speed

[icy drift]

@random patio have you tried restarting steam

[random patio]

i did all:(

Try restarting your PC

[indigo scarab]

Does anyone play on steam deck? Thinking of buying one, but cannot find much on how the game works, updates, future updates, I don't game much but just wondering if anyone here has hands on experience with Steam deck and Last Epoch.

[vernal sail]

I was wondering what you guys use your idol slots for on characters?

do people use for resistances or damage or something completely unknown to me?

[burnt crag]

end game they're normally pretty specific to your build, before that just fill gaps in res/ crit / hp/ mana with them. and weaver idols are always best, with enchants.

[candid elm]

there are people who've posted about playing on steam deck and some videos of it. seems like with medium settings people were getting 40-ish FPS and like 3.5 hours battery life.

LE also has an option in Steam to set the game to Full Offline mode as well. Right click on Last Epoch in Steam Library -> Properties -> in General under Launch Option -> set to Play Full Offline. Example picture below.

as far as updates, the devs have been doing controller improvements just about every major update. it's not perfect and some skills feel better with a controller than others, but it's usable. anyway, there's a number of videos on youtube and some articles on sites like steamdeckhq.com if you're interested.

[candid elm]

when i first get to monoliths with a new character, i use the idol slots to fill out resistances. once i've got better gear, they're typically changed out for something else, which varies by character. for example i made a reflect shaman this season and every idol slot is stuffed with "of the Briar" idols that give damage reflect as that's what that character needs.

[vernal sail]

Ahhh thank you guys

I just started back playing

Also was wondering if the game goes on sale any? I've not got too much money to spend on entertainment type things but was looking at getting my friend the game as a present because he's wanted it for a while

[azure siren]

Hi I am a FOTM player - what's the FOTM build this season? the best of the best, op build

need something that's zoomy and kills uber boss easily - not really into ultra high corruption pushing

[bright ether]

mana flay lich if you want to kill bosses maybe

[faint cape]

It goes on sale for 25% off occasionally, so not too major, but it helps

[white knot]

hey guys. im trying to increase my corruption in empowered monoliths and i have 3 gaze of orobis and ive killed the shade that are on the map naturally and one i put in with a woven echo and it said it would increase my corruption by 42 but my corruption is still 100 after doing this multiple times. how do i increase corruption plz or is something bugged?

[storm blaze]

You have a thing in your weaver tree that disables gaining corruption.

It's in the left side of the tree, Purged Horizon

[white knot]

omg i do looooool. ty

[storm blaze]

👍 surprisingly common mistake

[azure siren]

hi how do i evolve rift beast?

[storm blaze]

You find it in it's lair, beat it and select one of the 3 options it gives (which is not end the line)

[azure siren]

Yes, I found my first beast and killed it. Which of the 3 options should i choose?

[storm blaze]

That entirely depends on what reward you want

[bright ether]

i would just pick ancient bones tbh, you can use it for a lot more stuff like converting to amber

[cobalt maple]

how do i get to Heaven of Silk? Woven trader

[storm blaze]

complete one cemetary

and it should unlock the Silk place

[worthy plover]

On the topic of attack speed actually is there an actual threshold for diminishing returns or whatever? Like if you take 80% increased attack speed on a melee skill, at what point do you really hit the fastest you can go?

[desert tree]

There is no limit and no diminishing return

And no like threshold to reach to get an attack the last a frame less

[worthy plover]

nice. thank you!

[pearl raft]

does rune of redemption works for like getting + warpath

[icy drift]

Yes

[storm wren]

wait... Independent contractor. What is it mean?

[icy drift]

A company can pay a person for work without them being an employee

In which case they're an independent contractor

Like for example say you're making a short animation and want some music in the background. You can hire a person to make some music for you, they're now an independent contractor for you, you didn't hire them into a company or anything. Companies can do the same, pay someone for work without actually hiring them.

[quiet terrace]

Those 1099’s are a pain

[slow eagle]

@storm wren while it depends on the specific contract, a lot of the time the contractor is considered part of the team culturally, especially for long term contractor positions.

Why keep them as a contractor and not a full employee? Contractors dont need to have benefits provided to them by the company.... but companies also get to add stuff like "you can't work for our competitors while working as a contractor here"

This also makes it easier to get a contractor on the team than it is to get a full employee

see me being a research fellow for the last 3 years

[icy drift]

Kirra what are you trying to find out here I'm confused lol

[storm wren]

I'm confused do EHG count as a company and when EHG become a company now

[slow eagle]

on the plus side since its a contract at every contract renewal thing I can just say "nah, see ya" and leave

So if I do good work, the company is incentivized to keep me happy so I stay, while I'm incentivized to keep doing good work cause they can also just not renew the contract

[icy drift]

Ehg was founded in 2018

As a company

Eh actually might've been late 2017

Somewhere around there though

[storm wren]

I'm finding what can I learn from Mike's work experience in EHG

[icy drift]

Basically he got in on the project super early. So early that for some time nobody was even getting paid yet and then as they started getting funding from Kickstarter and were able to actually start paying salaries he was brought on as an independent contractor at first and then after some time I'd assume he became an actual employee. That's the gist of it

[desert tree]

From an old Judd post

Can we get bloodknight ???

[storm wren]

A bold guessing: Bloodknight is a future paid class

[desert tree]

Like kill forge guard already

https://tenor.com/view/crash-gif-10300924849057015083

[desert tree]

Thats a bold guess indeed

[storm blaze]

Very bold

[storm wren]

lol

👀 🤔

:)

[storm blaze]

Probably unlikely to happen
I imagine that "bloodknight" got replaced with void knight later

[ionic void]

That would be my guess ya

[blazing glacier]

Maybe blood mage is on the table still then.

I guess thats acolyte already

[storm blaze]

Yeah, I could probably see acolyte having more blood + melee themed thing

[storm wren]

lmaoooo ok I admit it's bold actually, since now.
What I think about bloodknight is... Isn't that the defination of blood ritualist I'm playing? Poe 2 can give EHG many inspirations I believe.

[worthy plover]

I feel like PoE2 needs inspiration rather than givesit

[storm blaze]

They might not even do bloodknight. at all

It's a super old thing and was just used as an example

[worthy plover]

is it fair to say, that weavers idols are unattainable through prophecies? it is only regular loot table stuff is it?

[storm blaze]

It could've been called "Master Baker" for all intents and purposes

[desert tree]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/faction/circle_of_fortune

[worthy plover]

Some sort of monstrous void humanoid class would be my first guess, something from the void

[desert tree]

Ctrl + F > Weaver

[storm blaze]

Kirra please

[worthy plover]

Nice thank you Vlad, that is super helpful actually didn't know about that thing thank you!

[storm wren]

I will pay for that class if EHG release bloodknight literally even it's a paid class

An interesting challenge.

[worthy plover]

A quadruped class that can wear either two pairs of gloves or two pairs of boots, or mutant that can swap a limb for an extra head or has a weavers will mutated arm that can't hold any items

[storm wren]

it's very fun to see the difference on GGG's and EHG's understanding of the same or similar concepts

please please please

[worthy plover]

Ice Avalanche really needs the mist turned down it is pretty ridiculous. Visibility is my biggest issue with this build, you can't dodge what you can't see... I might try and change my entire build back to physical just so I can see more as it has better gfx in general the physical avalanche too and sfx. But I really wish it didn't need to overdo it with the "coldness". Which means I need to drop throne of ambition and stuff just to make the game more playable due to visibility issues. I don't even use frozen ground either so that is without the ground being turned white as well. Physical really isn't that much better though, I really just wish they didn't have big circle outlines for every boulder needlessly as well as all this smoke/mist on impact.

Is there any setting I am missing to turn it off or like make my own spells more transparent?

[tired spindle]

@humble yacht you should ask in here about what the game is

[humble yacht]

What game?

[tired spindle]

this game last epoch

you said you were interested

[pearl token]

Got a bit lucky with some solid drops for warpath VK so did the respec and a couple starter slams and we’re zoomin

[worthy plover]

The bloodline glade primal beasts feel wildly overtuned to me anytime I try them. Like the echos and the echo bosses and the harbinger after the boss isn't really that bad, but then the woven echo's harbingers and primal beasts feel quite insane in comparison. The rune prisons can be a bit crazy too but not the same at all as the primal beasts or harbingers in the higher woven echos. What way are they scaling up?

Is it just because they are champions as well?

[pearl token]

Some of the rift beast abilities kinda slap

The fireball mortar has surprised me a few times

[worthy plover]

everything surprises me when I can't see it lol, I feel like I need more freeze or something to try and stop them moving or attacking for long enough for me to drop a dps burst. But I have no idea if stun and freeze are useless, effective, efficient or reachable in amounts that can work or if all the hardest stuff will just be completely immune to it and just focus on pure damage or defensive stuff than cc tbh. Freeze confuses me quite a lot, I think I understand stun ok big hits, high health, but not stun immunity I don't really understand that at all lol

[toxic echo]

yeah, champion mod adds a little bit. having random evolutions. and also most woven echoes have their own modifier ontop of what you are adding into the web normally

[worthy plover]

actually yeah, in an arguement for stun vs freeze, which is "cheaper" to build do you reckon or which is more consistent/effective against bosses?

[storm wren]

Keep practicing, it's my way

I think a few harbingers in timelines are overwhelming instead of thinking bloodline glade is hard

I've failed 11 times and be win 1 time

Have tried shaman too, but I found shaman is much more harder to survive in this woven echo because movement speed is too poor

[pearl raft]

how to craft this shi

[blazing glacier]

Easiest will be imprinting an eternal gauntlet with at least 1 T7.

No wasted affixes means you either need to start with all good affixes or gamble into them with redemption, chaos, or removal + craft.

Since its triple prefix you probably want an imprint with open prefix so you can craft crit chance then seal it, then craft what you need.

Tbh this is probably harder to make than double 77 with 2 or 3 good affixes and likely worse overall

That said this is probably from a build guide showing ideal affixes, you dont need to get exactly everything everywhere it says. Prioritize the important stats for the given build.

[pearl token]

don’t bother with the seal imo

That’s warpath I believe, aim for the 4 stats at first

[storm blaze]

<@&1161418687471956101>

[worthy plover]

Does added cold cast speed make me cast cold spells slower? I never really looked that closely at that affix before but am unsure now lol

no I think I am tripping there aren't I? It is still faster cast speed? It just isn't written the same as increased cast speed. Is added way better for cast speed here? I never really looked at that in much detail before now.

[desert tree]

It's probably a different formatting from Letools

[icy drift]

Sometimes % doesn't get converted correctly

It's added

So faster

[desert tree]

But no, it's should make you cast faster, and its most likely an increase, additive with other increases

[pearl raft]

i have no idea what youre talking about T_T

im having more difficult crafting exalted items

than legendaries T_T

how do you imprint

[pearl token]

Feels like the game opens up when you reach 300c, better echos and farming methods, factions maxing out etc

[pearl token]

Do you guys run the tombs in your regular echos? Or is it mostly useful to have cocoons for extra amber as you rush objective

Obv it’s worth it if it’s an objective you can complete in the tomb like cocooned item

[candid elm]

Imprint refers to Weaver tree nodes such as Commoner's Riches, Echoing Riches, and Sealed Riches. You put a copy / picture / imprint of an item into the __ Riches nodes and have a chance to get similar item drops.

[pearl raft]

AA ISEE

i do imprint them

[candid elm]

As you get better copies, change out the imprints

[pearl raft]

wdym

when i get T7 affix?

i imprint iot again?

i think i got it

well except for the shred armor

[candid elm]

Example if you're trying to make a similar pair of Gloves, if you get a new drop with better affixes, you can replace an imprint with the new one

[candid elm]

Great! Use that for now and you can work on making an even better one in the future if you want to

[pearl raft]

i can imprint this instead right?

and how about this?

[pearl token]

It’s preferable to imprint something with high forging potential

[candid elm]

Yes, just note that as it has 0 FP, you can end up with new drops with lower FP.

So if you have something with higher FP, that can be a better choice

[pearl raft]

aa isee

copy that

thank you

so i imprint a higher FP with T7 affix?

[candid elm]

This is using Rune of Evolution to turn a T7 Reduced Channel Cost into a T8. Rune of Evolution creates a second special Sealed slot for the T8.

[pearl raft]

havent got one

evolution T_T

[candid elm]

They can be purchased from the Skarven Bloodhorn NPC in Primal Rifts and he's in Chapter 10 town https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/IIzAMCZRUaA

[pearl raft]

ooohh so its purchasable

[candid elm]

Yes. You'd have a helmet with T7 Reduced Channel Cost, use Rune of Evolution, and if that's the only T7 then it's going to be the T7 selected to turn into T8 Primordial. And it's moved into a special second Sealed slot. If you've got FP left, you can then craft a new affix in the now open slot.

The example item also has a regular Sealed affix, which is why you're seeing 6 affixes.

[pearl raft]

isee

thank you i think im getting the hang of it

[candid elm]

Best of luck !

[vernal sail]

can anyone tell me how imprinting works?

and how to do it?

[candid elm]

I just posted this above for the Ramon person, here's simple blurb on it

Imprint refers to Weaver tree nodes such as Commoner's Riches, Echoing Riches, and Sealed Riches. You put a copy / picture / imprint of an item into the __ Riches nodes and have a chance to get similar item drops.

[candid elm]

You just drag an item over the imprint node, drop it, and a copy is created there. It's like you've taken a picture of the item and your original item is not changed or taken away.

You can change what's currently imprinted at any item.

Each Imprint node can take different base item types and have different procs. For example Echoing Riches Imprint procs from when you open the glowing orange echo reward back on your little island after you successfully complete an echo objective without dying. Sealed Riches procs from opening Caches. Commoner's Riches procs just from defeating regular enemies.

[candid elm]

Note that Imprints only work on items that can be dropped anywhere. So not boss only items.

[vernal sail]

do the stats on the imprinted item matter at all or just the base item?

[candid elm]

You can think of it kind of like it using the Imprinted item to make a somewhat similar copy to drop. So you may not get the exact same affixes, but having a T7 affix can help get another similar item with T7, for example

[pearl raft]

which is more important here

[dusty scaffold]

If I started making Last Epoch videos what would people be interested in? Was thinking in depth build guides on off meta builds. Alternatively funny zero to hero build videos

[dusty scaffold]

Ailment cleanse can be nice but tbh the health will give you more survivabulity

[pearl raft]

thats what i thought also

[desert tree]

Off meta build for sure

[candid elm]

In general Hybrid Health. But the Cleanse can be useful if you find certain Ailments are troublesome. The cleanse can even remove an Ailment like Ravenous Void's Mimic Feast.

There are a few Ailments that can't be Cleaned, though. Like Uber Aberrorth's Necrotic attack has a stacking -All Res Ailment that can't be Cleansed.

[dusty scaffold]

What build are you playing. Lots of utility skills can get ailment cleanse too

[pearl raft]

warpath void knight

[pearl raft]

isee thank you my human wikipedia, chatgpt, last epoch expert.

[candid elm]

You're welcome

[candid elm]

Well Sentinel does have a lot of Cleanse nodes in Skills, but you're probably not using these with your current character.

Sentinel Cleanse nodes in Skills:
Lunge - Healing Rush.
Smite - Panacea.
Symbols of Hope - Cleansing Light.
Judgement - Cleansing Light again.
Holy Aura - Purification.
The last two are Paladin only.

So the belt Cleanse on Potion Use can be nice. You do have to remember you have it though and push the Potion button : )

[pearl raft]

symbols of hope i use

but let me heck if i have cleansing light

and i do not

LOL

[candid elm]

Yeah it's in lower right, part of Divine Flare on Symbols of Hope activation. And you're probably just leaving Symbols of Hope up for the buffs and not activating them.

You can always try to get the Belt Cleanse later, if you think it would be useful to you.

[worthy plover]

"5% more more melee damage doom" is weird phrasing on that item lol

[candid elm]

I think whatever site that image was from, maybe Maxroll, just had the text parsed slightly incorrect. It should be

5% more Melee Damage per stack of Doom
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzBMEYA5iA

Doom Ailment usually gives 4% increased Melee Damage Taken, up to 4 stacks. So it also gives an extra up to 20% more - multiplicative - Melee Damage bonus

[slow eagle]

doesn't that affix not care what the doom is on

ie: put 4 doom on all 3 of the big uber rarers for even more damage

[candid elm]

Oh I don't know!

[desert tree]

Pretty sure it doesn't work like that

You get a more dmg per stack of doom on the target

[slow eagle]

darn

[worthy plover]

do many builds melee hard?

I am really struggling with getting one shot and starting to wonder if, this is just how its going to be, should I be building dodge instead? lol

[candid elm]

Something like Erasing Strike is known for massive melee hits

[slow eagle]

if your getting one shot a lot, import your build into LE tools and share the link, chances are your missing some defenses

[dusty scaffold]

Tbh melee does struggle alot in LE at the moment

[lavish crane]

It is not melee as it hit the whole screen. Same with warpath.

[dusty scaffold]

If you have a build planner we can help with your defenses if you want

[worthy plover]

Oh yeah well I am definitely am but it seemingly difficult to actually get any loot to drop that craftable without bricking it either. I desperately just need more health I think, but I am wondering if just building dodge instead might be a faster way to keep pushing and trying to memorize all these attacks. This Fateweaver Atropos is irritating me for some reason a lot today. I just don't have enough hitpoints yet, and I am too impatient to just keep grinding lower corruption for gear when it never seems to drop much even if I clear like 48 prophecies lol. This and blood glade are my main annoyances, most other things are ok or only moderately annoying as I feel like I need to farm these tombs and those glades urgently for better idols. I've considered just rerolling to the merchant faction and buying stuff instead which I don't really enjoy as much but am wearing a bit thin on trying to craft so many pieces of armour. My gear is even worse than I remember it being last time I actually really looked at it. I am too embarassed to show it as I have already been hunting some amendments to it, I really struggle getting anything I need to drop at all or crafting it.

[dusty scaffold]

Loot rng can be bad sometimes. What rank are you with cof?

Try to cap resistances and try getting as much health as you can

Don't forget to cap your endurance at 60% if you can

Are you playing your own build?

[worthy plover]

pretty much, my faction is maxed out except for the weaver one which is pretty much where all my problems are, in woven echoes. Yeah my gear is terrible actually. I mean it could be my filters, but I am basically looking for any 2 affixes on any exalted that I want out of like 4-8 affixes, and then any 3 affixes on any item that can be envy'd into the subtype I want which is maybe a bit strict I guess I dunno, I have like helmets imprinted, in fact I managed to craft some imprints and that is about it so far lol, they haven't proven very fruitful yet, though I am using set affixes so I guess that is making crafting a bit harder too

[dusty scaffold]

What corruption are you at?

Could be worth reducing it slightly if you are getting one shot lots

Also how much health do you have currently?

What class?

[desert tree]

I got it

[worthy plover]

I think I kept pushing higher because I thought I'd get more double exalteds worth blowing my runes and stuff on but it isn't really working out like that even using prophecies and imprints. Is there an optimal corruption to farm at? I think all my timelines are at 600 and my main one is at 800 atm but I am not really doing anything in particular, just farming anything, and everything and prophecies are mostly this or that boss and those are pretty easy but don't seem to actually drop stuff I want, imprints seemed like, farm random echoes stuff would be more productive, and tombs for idols seemed smart but yeah I guess I hit a wall with these Sepulchers of the Lost just irritating me and I needed to rant about it. I should slap myself and just go farm something else obviously. I also am unsure the best way to also highlight gear with open affixes to craft on. I can see I am just ranting at this point. I will just pray to RNGesus.

I'm considering maybe target farming the Jungle Queens Chaps or Brewmasters Buckle I think so I can prechug potions maybe to irresponsibly try to burn things faster than they burn me

If you are at 600 corruption you have a good build then

You might be capped on pushing corruption further tbh

Unless you link a build planner I don't think I can help you more

500 corruption is plenty to get good loot drops. Doubled exalts are just super low chance

one more rampant coast then logging off… another one spawns… damnit

ok yes I constructed what I think I want on the database site, so its less embarrassing to show what I am currently using as it probably looks worse than it sort of is, or maybe it has some glaring flaws I am not sure. Sort of why I was considering maybe going for dodge and that jungle chaps belt as well maybe as uniques might be easier to get faster than exalteds I need maybe.

This is what I actually want I call it Gladiator of Lagon after the most recent perk I discovered that seems to be really strong and it now sort of revolves around with the melee chainsaw sort of buff stacking and then mana dumping avalanches while jumping and screaming lots I rarely cast maelstrom manually as it generates and dumps tons of stormstacks on melee too for more hits https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/AKgqm3mD

But this is what I am still struggling to upgrade, but the belt and gloves and chest all need to change substantially, I might have a replacement chest actually but I need to revert my gloves set first as it has a better defensive affix too, gloves seem the worst to replace, even if I am not being too picky about them. I mostly just want high attunement and either max health, increased or hybrid, but I think so far I only got a t6 increaesd on my chest and its a terrible roll. It will probably all hurt your eyes though.

I've considered trying to add ward in somehow but again, its a lot of headache, dodge seems maybe to have some synergy if even a weak one but might not be a good idea, unsure if belt alone can even help with chugging pots for dodge

the chaps one not the brewmasters

[dusty scaffold]

It honestly looks like you just need to keep grinding away to get the better gear

When I am home later I can try tinker to make it more tanky but it's pretty hard to push defenses on Shaman

Beastmaster does it better but obviously that takes away form the class fantasy a bit

Very cool build

And you don't need to feel like people are judging you on your build. If anyone does they are just rude bullies

You enjoy the game so keep at it!

[worthy plover]

yeah like I have this 16% less damage from nearby enemies, which is really nice but then, atropis or whatever but you can't always stay beside things especially when you can't see through your own spells. Being in the danger zone made me wonder about using dodge for melee maybe but unsure it is wise or if I can even build enough, but maelstroms and my offhand can have it which is why I considered the queens chaps

thanks btw, I assume werebears maybe melee but are probably tankier

[blazing glacier]

Idk about warpath or whatever but I'm guessing shred is one of the important affixes. 100 stacks of shred is 77% more phys hit damage on enemies, 54% non phys

[pearl raft]

[worthy plover]

does the Threshold of Eternity Aberroth drop better versions of the normal Aberroths stuff?

[toxic echo]

It has its own pool of uniques that only drop from ubby. But there isnt really 'better versions' or abby uniques. Just luck on the rolls

[worthy plover]

the afk timer in this game really doesn't respect inventory management at all does it lol

[fallen parcel]

Uberroth drops are better because he is gurantee to have a 1 lp items so nihilis his armor and other stuff making it easier to have better drops

[worthy plover]

ah ok nice, can you slam %health onto a chest if it already has %health?

[faint cape]

It's supposed to, it's a bug if you get kicked while doing stuff, please bug report in-game when you find stuff

[fallen parcel]

Afk timer doesn't respect anytime you spend doing inventory stuff if its a bug its a very predominant one. Cause its always disconnecting.
