[junior mesa]

i will guess so becuase the other shadows use the other abilite skill trees you mentioned.

[toxic echo]

it should, yeah. any proc'd skill should use the tree

[junior mesa]

oh im kinda excited then

[candid elm]

I think they're using "imitate" because they already used term "echo" for Void Knight

[midnight helm]

Why is there shade being thrown at the new update? Lots of and 🤡 emoji's
I haven't really played since the Woven

[toxic echo]

90+% of the shade is because of krafton and/or the paid class announcement thats coming in like a year

also most emoji reacts are just people looking for attention...not really worth noting at all

[midnight helm]

So people just need to grow up? Got it

Anyhow, looking forward to the new stuff, looks awesome

[thorn notch]

Whats damage like at like lvl 100? Like what numbers is considered “good”. Lvl 74 atm first time playing and building my own build as a hc.. so just trying to get an idea without spoils

[toxic echo]

if things are dying, you ahve enough. its really dependant on your build

like a one big bonk skill will have way different numbers than a quick dot build, ya know

[azure obsidian]

I think the other aspect of how much health the enemies have might be a better approach? I mean in the sense that we have floating damage numbers and a general idea of how much we hit for. But that is moot without an actual health number to work against.

[sly fable]

Ugh, that new attribute stacking set looks insanely strong, and attribute stacking is already nearly mandatory in most meta builds 💤

[thorn notch]

Im still a complete a noob, unless there is a health damage percentage thing..I think health amount should not effect the dps, but thanks tho I was just wondering while working cuz I can’t play atm lol

[azure obsidian]

Apologies, but what Eagles said is probably more worthwhile to you. The different classes have their own ways of dealing damage. Probably the best way to find out how you're holding up is asking about your damage in one of the sub-channels for classes.

[thorn notch]

I see that makes sense

[toxic echo]

you can also go hit the dummy in champions gate a bit...but there isnt a this dmg number good

if things die, you good

[azure obsidian]

And to be fair, I read "as a hc" and thought hardcore.

[thorn notch]

Yeah hardcore first play through lol it’s quite fun

[dusty obsidian]

True

Is the bee queen going to look like the hive champion we fight normally?

[storm blaze]

I doubt it'll be one of those bear bee hybrids

[toxic echo]

that'd be amazing tho

[jaunty garden]

@blazing glacier if I have an item with a nat T7 suffix and a sealed T8 prefix, but the sealed prefix is a champion affix, does that affect how often the sealed affix tier gets put on the imprint procs? Based on the spreadsheet it goes off reroll chance which is found on LETools, and that says 0% reroll on all champion affixes. So based on that it would be pretty likely to give me a T7 prefix from the T8 sealed, correct?

[graceful cliff]

Pretty sure it was said that it is the same as set afix sealed. So doesnt change the math much besides obvi never getting that actual affix. So going for 2t7 with that should be fine.

From everything I have seen the benefits for 2T7 from that setup are great as long as the T7s are opposite of each other as you already said. 🙂

[blazing glacier]

I don't actually remember with champs. I forgot to dig into that.

I believe they should fit in the same category as sets though, if so farming beast gauntlet could be a good source of early 2T7

[graceful cliff]

Hmmm over neme? Interesting.

[faint cape]

Granted, not all item types have champ affixes

[junior mesa]

would shadows using multishot proc icicle's from the cold bow?

[jaunty garden]

That's what I was thinking. Did one at like 500c and got 3 natty T7s with sealed T8s

[jaunty garden]

True. Some weapons you'd still have to farm Nem but a good amount are there. Champion affixes appear on 2H sword/axe/staff/spear, and 1h axe/mace, plus dagger and wand.

Amulets and rings are there, relics are there but only for acolyte. Belt gloves and helm are there. Missing boots and chest

No offhand tho, and no 1h sword or bow

[tight gale]

if that works

skipping the whole tower farming is so big

[jaunty garden]

Yup

[jaunty garden]

Better get back to testing 😤

[shy turret]

champion t8 doesnt work when i tested it at the start of s3. but i didnt try very hard, so i could be wrong.

[winter folio]

question: since you can turn set items into affixes, can you slap those on uniques too then? or is that too much juice

[faint cape]

No, you can't use a reforged set item to slam a legendary

[winter folio]

fair

[graceful cliff]

Can’t slam sealed is prolly the best way to think of it bc covers it all.

[winter folio]

ah yes, ofcourse. that makes sense.

was just reading the update and got curious

[faint cape]

Set affixes aren't naturally sealed, sealed affixes are ignored when slamming which is a bit different

once you craft a set affix on an item, it's not ignored, you just can't use that item for legendary crafting anymore

[quick escarp]

anybody else having an issue where lastepoch no longer saves changes to 'settings'? every time i launch the game over the past few days, it has launched in windowed mode with a full-screen resolution. then i have to go into settings and fix it, and then the 'save' button is hard to click on because it's off the bottom of the screen. then the next time i launch LE, it's back to the earlier resolution

this is on a pretty normal steam install, on windows 11

oh huh. it's actually more wide-spread than that. my cosmetic selections are not getting saved (reverted upon launch) but my lootfilter edits are getting saved. at first i thought this might be a permissions issue with the settings dir, but... seems like no?

[toxic echo]

both of these things are known, and should be fixed in s4

[quick escarp]

excellent ty

[toxic echo]

for the cosmetic thing tho, https://discordapp.com/channels/368953963267096586/414295382625878037/1432741243200475148

that should fix it in the meantime

[quick escarp]

it's interesting that the le_graphicsmanager.ini file continues to show the correct resolution settings, rather than getting re-written upon load like i thought might be happening

i guess you're storing those vars somewhere else too? or something? sounds like a nightmare to debug, good luck

[toxic echo]

i truthfully have no idea. i just parrot the information i am given

[quick escarp]

haha fair

[vale thistle]

LE stores a lot of information in the registry, it's super annoying TBH lol

[drowsy hornet]

Are the season changes season only or also eternal

[toxic echo]

both get all the changes

[drowsy hornet]

time to dust off my legacy chars

[shy turret]

sometimes my resolution changes if a load screen takes too long, is this part of the same issue?

[toxic echo]

Possible. I havent heard of that specific problem before

Obv if it keeps up in s4 report it again

[shy turret]

i thnk its not a common thing coz im playing ultrawide res on a non ultrawide monitor

(who does that? me, to see more)

[toxic echo]

I have heard of weird things with ultrawide, so that would not surprise me

[crystal ember]

Does anyone know if the void knight more melee void dmg % per 3 vit work or if it's bugged?

[crystal ember]

I'm on a 32 inch ultra wide with 3440 x 1440 native apparently I pushed it higher but didn't seem to add anything D: I did notice when changing it to that higher res it puts black bars up but on the SIDE not top and bottom, have to alt tab out and back in to make them dissapear

[faint cape]

It works

[crystal ember]

Thank you Mr. Toast ❤️

[shy turret]

that sounds weird. with mine, i can leave my native resolution at 4k, then just choose 3440 x 1440 res in LE and it works. some other games that doesnt work and i have to change my native res to 3440 x 1440

oh yours is already native uw

[crystal ember]

I also found that LE would defailt it back to that native, I think it's probably my nvidia overriding it though haha but I've currently found really sweet settings ultra and high mostly and still hit 80fps in fights alone and 100-140 other places

forcing AA off definitely helped a lot, made it look nicer too lol

[shy turret]

i think ultra ultra wide lets you see more even

not sure, havent tried that

[crystal ember]

should test it it'll default to whatever vid card is on but def boosted fps and made the game feel smoother

[shy turret]

i havent tried forcing aa off

aa off in vid card or le?

[crystal ember]

i've only ever had the ultra wide since finding LE but still asked for a zoom out on FOV apparently was once a thing but caused performance issues Mike said

yeah in vid card, in LE it'll just run whatever your vid card settings have

[shy turret]

my next mon is 100% goona be ultrawide oled

[crystal ember]

Ive had this bad boy like 3.5 years it's an MSI, he's doing me well lol

[unique phoenix]

i just obught the game and it shows this error to me

also support site it doesn't work

[vale thistle]

As in you can't access support.lastepoch.com..?

[unique phoenix]

yes

[vale thistle]

Are you behind some sort of firewall blocking access to the servers LE is hosted on? I'm able to login and access the support site perfectly fine.

[unique phoenix]

maybe i dont know

thats weird

idk what to do i should refund it on steam? i am so confused

[vale thistle]

try pressing StartKey+R => cmd => ping support.lastepoch.com and share a screenshot of what it shows

[unique phoenix]

alr

[vale thistle]

Yep, something is definitely messed up on your end.

DNS not resolving properly 🤔

[unique phoenix]

maybe

i can use vpn tho

[vale thistle]

try ping 216.198.53.11 -- that's what support.lastepoch.com resolves to for me

[vale thistle]

yep, some sort of DNS issue then

almost certainly means something is messed up with the DNS configuration provided by your ISP

you can "fix" it by just changing what DNS servers your computer connects to

Google DNS (8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4) and Cloudflare (1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1) are popular, public DNS options

[unique phoenix]

alr how ican do that?

found it

nvm

still the same

[vale thistle]

https://developers.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using seems like the best guide for how to do it

you might need to restart your computer or network connection after changing that

[unique phoenix]

i did still not working..

[kindred narwhal]

I assume you changed this thing?

Because you can change it in win10/win11 mode but that's dogshit

[unique phoenix]

yes like this

[vale thistle]

I think you can verify what DNS server is actually being used here: https://www.top10vpn.com/tools/what-is-my-dns-server/

[kindred narwhal]

Hmm I remember I had some DNS problems like a year ago and I think adding gateway, mask and ip-address made it work, personally

[unique phoenix]

'error please try again later'

[vale thistle]

bizarre

[kindred narwhal]

[vale thistle]

I'm at a bit of a loss TBH lol, there's so many things it could be, actually identifying it sounds like a nightmare though

[unique phoenix]

fr xd

[vale thistle]

router, firewall, ISP, ...

[kindred narwhal]

windows

[vale thistle]

you can check with cmd ->ipconfig /all and it'll list all of your network connections + any configured DNS servers

[unique phoenix]

i did that and it works

lmao

[vale thistle]

rofl

[blazing glacier]

but that command doesn't "do" anything 🤔

it just gives info

[unique phoenix]

i add my ipv4 + geteway

[vale thistle]

something you did must have forced it to update

[kindred narwhal]

Hell yeah, same for me like a year ago then

[vale thistle]

anyway, congrats

[blazing glacier]

maybe it somehow ran the dnsflush or whatever

[unique phoenix]

tysm my friend

[kindred narwhal]

Iirc it had to do with windows contradict itself or something so it couldn't figure out what it should use

[blazing glacier]

It works and I don't know why > It doesn't work and I don't know why 👍

[kindred narwhal]

It was like mega spaghetti

Corrupt your router, maybe it works maybe it doesn't

[faint cape]

Sweet, I got +3 dex on my router

[acoustic ruin]

Is there anything that gives you immune to ignite?

[lean elbow]

Did they confirm in jormuns set 3 bonus is just 10% crit multi?

So its a 2 item set with 3 options for slot...

[storm blaze]

Essentially, yes
I guess it also means less synergy with legends entwined

[icy drift]

Afaik no

[icy drift]

Correct, that was the intent

[quasi hatch]

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

[icy drift]

They basically didn't want a set with 3 items and only a 2 item bonus is all, so they put in a "filler" 3 item bonus that you're not really meant to use

[lean elbow]

When you confirmed the 10% was just additive i guessed that was the intent. I like it. Im probably doing a lot with sets this season

[storm blaze]

I'm gonna do a living, walking beehive

[tiny helm]

can you put a set affix onto a champion gear

[desert tree]

Yes

[jaunty garden]

@blazing glacier more imprinting questions lol

After I imprint a 2T7 into the tree, can I then craft on that piece without worry? As long as I don't remove that imprint? Or will it brick my imprint if I brick the item that the imprint is from?

[azure obsidian]

By memory, I have slammed/sanctum'd an imprinted LP unique and the imprint did not change, it stayed raw with the LP.
Now, if if this also applies to exalted items, I don't remember, but it might just.

[blazing glacier]

should be able to, iirc there was some bug at one point

but I dont think theres a problem currently

[storm blaze]

You can even delete the item after you put it to the imprint slots and the imprint still works

[blazing glacier]

me every time I try to slam my 2t7 amulet

-> delete

[vale thistle]

I remember that not working early on, very traumatizing tbh

[blazing glacier]

If only EE was farmable

[vale thistle]

changed some item I had imprinted and it krangled my imprint 💀

[storm blaze]

Yeah that was early
but it does work now

[dull escarp]

Is there a way to assign a skill to the left mouse button?

[urban basin]

yea

[tiny widget]

are there any hidden updates to werebear primalist , specifically storm or fire werebear archtype ?

[storm blaze]

Wait for the patch notes

[near vale]

Can the faction vendor give t7 items?

[dull escarp]

Is there an option to make left-clicking trigger an attack, just like right-clicking?
I tried the “move + attack” option, but it felt like I was passing right through the enemies, which was really bad.

[timid igloo]

what do you guys think is going to be better beastmaster bee's or druid bee's

[desert tree]

Yes

Click on the left click in the ui

And there are a few option you can set up there

[paper beacon]

when youre majking an alt? is therra ny designated EXP farm place?

or just follow the story?

[urban basin]

setup good twink gear and lv 20 campaign skip

[paper beacon]

whats a twink gear?

[azure obsidian]

Gear you've acquired from a previous character

Since you mention making an alt, which is a 2nd character, you have access to the stash your first character had. And their gear if you unequip and stash it.

[paper beacon]

ahhh

ah okok got it

[azure obsidian]

I also believe the forge stuff (Affixes, runes, glyphs) are account-level shared between all characters that qualify (same season, not fully solo)

As for the campaign skip, I think you were being directed to the monolith route. Since once you hit end of time, you actually can go into the monolith.

The caveat at present is your idol slots and maybe the +1 to all attributes for completing chapters 9 and 10 (separately, so +2 for both).

LE is made such as there is no exp penalty on death. Exp gains per kill grow as you get into the higher corruption levels of the empowered monolith.

As such, speeding through levels is mostly pushing mono or doing arena at tier 4, I believe.

There are, in fact, builds that can pull it off if planned properly. (the speeding through by tackling content well above their level)

[sharp crane]

anybody that can help with?

me*

if i want to put a stat on a LP item what do i have to do?

[azure obsidian]

Temporal sanctum, preferably level 2 or above.

[sharp crane]

only stat i can put on a item needs to be purple when i extract it from a gear?

LP item

[azure obsidian]

No, you can select any.

But, in general... why would you put an exalt in there for a T5 affix?

Tier/level 2 sanctum gives you a choice of affix and you pick any one of the 4.

[storm blaze]

<@&1161418687471956101>

[azure obsidian]

Admittedly, I did not realize it at first, but thank you, nub for being more present.

[storm blaze]

I was surprised to see nobody had done it yet

[toxic echo]

ya i had extra chores to do this morning 😛

i literally just logged on

[storm blaze]

Meant that nobody had pinged the mods
was waking up from a nap and checked the discord

[azure obsidian]

Admittedly, I was 3-ways distracted and failed to realize that it was indeed a scam...

I blame my sheltered life.

[storm blaze]

Yeah, they're very common
Wish people didn't fall for them

[azure obsidian]

I have an innate aversion to anything crypto, but it didn't click that maybe I should've treated it as an actual scam.

In that sense, I apologize.

[storm blaze]

They're not the only scams going on
Another one is them bots that post in fanart how they made a "commission" to their "client"
And it's the most obvious AI post you've seen

[severe valve]

when will last epoch tools be upgraded to 1.4? tomorrow already?

[storm blaze]

Probably only with the initial info that can be updated from the notes
some stuff will need datamining and since patch isn't actually out

[severe valve]

hmm

[desert tree]

My bet is next weekend

I dont think Dammit will go through the patch note to implement them

He ll probably wait for game files to datamine everything straight away

I might be wrong

[severe valve]

iirc for 1.3 it was updated already like 2 days after patch notes but i might be wrong

[quasi hatch]

I think the tools creators may get an early client once a 'release candidate' is prepped to allow them to get things ready. Cause yeah, LETools was definitely ready for 1.3 before the patch was live.

[faint cape]

They used to, they didn't last season though. LE Tools didn't update to 1.3 until a day or so after launch. As far as I know, nothing has changed from last time, so it'll probably be the same.

[quasi hatch]

#💬┃general message
Letools was 1.3 ready (mostly) on the 16th and patch wasn't until 21st

[alpine pendant]

on use means the first button press for channeled skills right? so apathy negative of losing current life when directly using a skill would only trigger once for channeled skills?

[storm blaze]

Yes

[faint cape]

Hm, I don't know what I'm remembering exactly, then

[urban basin]

poe

[dark lion]

Hi guys question

Does last epoch seasons have full set cosmetic rewards when u finish them just like in poe?

[desert tree]

No

[dark lion]

Ohhh. Also this coming season4?

[desert tree]

Won't happen in s4

Maybe later 😅

[junior mesa]

does the beta branch no longer exist. been a while and i relized im no longer in the discord (fiar enough its been like 2 yrs prob since i tested anything)

[toxic echo]

they removed a good majority of people for various reasons, but it does still exist

[junior mesa]

ah ok, its more than fair that i was removed as i havn't been active in a long time there.

[wild epoch]

Just to confirm, is there any difference between legacy/seasonal characters content wise? If I plan to play SSF, can I just start today and prep a character for the additions next week?

[toxic echo]

no difference content wise

[wild epoch]

Based

[wicked plover]

is patch with changes already live? or with season release

[toxic echo]

there is no game patch until the 26th

if you have a 1.1gb patch, just a shop update for the packs

[wicked plover]

ah okay, was about to say

cheers

[toxic echo]

idk why you would think the entire new season is only 1.1gb

thats super small for anything

[austere yew]

If I have old item drop before the patch will it's values be the same? Or all items of that type are affected?

For example if I have thorn shell at 9% per attunement and the new shield has 6% cap. Will my old item be affected?

[candid elm]

The only difference would be things like new Season gets a new Leaderboards and Merchant's Guild economy reset, but if you're playing SAF or SCF the MG reset wouldn't matter as you'd be playing CoF anyway.

[toxic echo]

yes

[austere yew]

Alright thanks.

Can it be traded after the patch?

Because you would have 2 versions of the same item

[candid elm]

This seems fun, now you could clear more on echoes that have a reward you're interested in. Instead of just rushing every echo.

The Echo specific reward now scales with how much of the Echo’s bonus stability you gathered, indicated by three pips on the bonus stability bar that light up once you have enough bonus stability. Each of these pips increases the tier of the chest and the amount of rewards you get from it
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/last-epoch-shattered-omens-patch-notes/80571/7#general-monolith-changes-3

[toxic echo]

why would you have two versions?

the old one gets updated

[austere yew]

My bad. I misunderstood you

[serene relic]

does this work on a per idol basis, or do they stack the chance for one proc
also, does this work with procced acid flask via explosive trap

[upbeat imp]

When we can check out the list of affixes for omen idols on letools?

[toxic echo]

should be now. it was already updated

[upbeat imp]

Thank you

[timid pike]

What does this means. ? I marked it in yellow frame

[toxic echo]

it means you only get the MTX, not the coins from the smaller packs

so its only 300 instead of like, 900 or w.e it would be

[timid pike]

@toxic echo thank you

[indigo berry]

I guess this is the death of Acid Flask?

EXPLOSIVE TRAP
Instruments of the Alchemist now grants a 10% chance for traps dropped by Trap Sprinkler to also throw an Acid Flask (from 100%).

[coarse parcel]

when should we see updated maxroll guides ?

[candid elm]

You may want to ask on their Discord. On the main page of that site, to the right of Latest News section, there are social media links including their Discord server.

[cunning canyon]

can you corrupt the small idols too? like 1x1 and 2x1 and so on?!

[toxic echo]

pretty sure a dev had confirmed this

[cunning canyon]

i was just wondering, that it is shown in the LE tools infos, so i guess, it seems right...

[toxic echo]

i cant find the msg but i am pretty sure it was in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs yesterday

[potent epoch]

will season 4 have any achievements, cosmetic rewards, etc. for playing?

[toxic echo]

no. but we did see a reddit post that had achievements coming on console release

so hopefully that other stuff comes with it

[potent epoch]

ah okay

[meager junco]

[desert tree]

Arf

[candid elm]

They're doing 4x Twitch drops for some free cosmetics. https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/season-4-shattered-omens-twitch-drops/80554

But like Eagles mentioned, there currently isn't something like Season challenges for additional free cosmetics

[potent epoch]

yeah I just meant something to keep you playing more, some kind of reward for doing the season

maybe some day~

[candid elm]

Like PoE League Challenges : ) that kind of thing doesn't currently exist in LE

[potent epoch]

yeah oldschool runescape got something similar too

[fallen parcel]

The only real thing since this game aint seasonal just yet mandatory that kept you going for however long the season was it was the imprint grind now not so sure anymore

[night kiln]

What made you going for however long in between patches before imprinting was introduced to the game in 1.2?

[crystal jackal]

PoE

[fallen parcel]

Yeah exactly

[night kiln]

That's your answer then 🙂

[fallen parcel]

The answer is to get rid of big necessary stuff and add nothing to fix it nice

[night kiln]

It wasn't necessary. And don't forget that new corruption rune can add tiers/affixes as well.

[fallen parcel]

Corruption is cool and all but its like 68 affixes on a relic or like or like 50-60 on weapon 2 lp if its not common enough is kinda dead for corr ,meanwhile 1 lp is best bet but then what's the point of 3 4 lp items or even 2lp rare ones

Since you gotta win multiple times the rng battle ,also at julra and then corrupt

[night kiln]

The point of LP items is to transfer affixes to them. No one promised that all affixes you transfer must be T7

[fallen parcel]

If i grind it should be as possible as I can get

If you are ok with t5 items that's on you

[night kiln]

It is possible. Even more possible than 4LP Red Ring (which is also possible).

[fallen parcel]

I have 4t7 items so yeah definitely possible

[night kiln]

Nice, I have them as well

So you know that imprinting is completely busted

[vale thistle]

I am somewhat confused by the corrupted altars with "maximum idol" stats on them

ex: pyramidal altar with 2 weaver idols equipped at maximum; does that literally refer to idols called weaver idols, or any idol with an enchant?

and how does that interact with the "3 heretical idols equipped at maximum" (which really doesn't make sense to me at all, as no limit on heretical idols is stated elsewhere; are we just supposed to assume heretical idols are also weaver idols, and this is meant to be +3 to that limit or what)

[fallen parcel]

Cof is extremely destroyed so yeah gl

In last epoch loot dropped if you play enough its quite bad

[night kiln]

Not sure I follow you. Weaver idols are the ones from Tombs/Cemetaries, and they have no limits. Only hereitcal idols have limits.

[fallen parcel]

I have found in 2400 hours only 1 3t7 item and I was a natural drop,rest is spam conquered tower at 2k corr and get lucky someday,then do party troves to get 4t7

[night kiln]

Nah, CoF will be fine

[fallen parcel]

Nah

Its massive nerf

[fallen parcel]

Unless you care about 1 lp items only

[vale thistle]

how many heretical idols can I equip if I don't have that "3 heretical idols equipped at maximum" affix anywhere on my corrupted altar

[night kiln]

Deserved nerf. You are not supposed to grind triple T7 items

[night kiln]

Just one I think

[fallen parcel]

On really same way I aint supposed to slam 4 lp items

[vale thistle]

yeah no, you're thinking of omen idols

those are completely different from heretical

[fallen parcel]

Such a dumb way of thinking ,I aint supposed to find mirrors in poe but it happens

[night kiln]

Triple T7 also will happen. similar to poe mirrors

[candid elm]

This reads to me that if you want to try for the increased cooldown recovery bonus, a limitation is that you can only have 2x total Weaver Idols equipped.

[vale thistle]

uhh, no? those are totally separate implicits lol

[fallen parcel]

No it doesn't

Have you played the game

[vale thistle]

the requirement to get the cooldown recovery speed is to not have big idols above small ones

[candid elm]

Yes. AND you can now only have 2 Weaver Idols equipped.

So if you want that bonus, there's a negative as well.

[fallen parcel]

Its a million years to get conquered tower to spit a 3t7 then you need imprint to actually proc that cause natural drops just dont exist are too rare

[vale thistle]

sure, but you're describing them as a combined mechanic when they aren't

[candid elm]

Similar with this one. There's a bonus, but also a negative of only being able to have 3x total Heretical Idols

[candid elm]

The bonus and the negative are implicits. So yeah, they're basically combined as you can't get that item type without those implicits. This one is similar. Has a bonus but also a negative.

[vale thistle]

hmm, I guess most of my confusion was from thinking "2 weaver idols" is barely even a downside, if it doesn't apply to heretical idols

[night kiln]

What exactly is a heretical idol?

[vale thistle]

I'll just take it literally

[candid elm]

The larger idols after you Weaver Enchant them

[vale thistle]

I was thinking of any idol with a weaver enchant as a "weaver idol" including heretical idols but the only way these limitations make sense is if EHG considers them different (and heretical idols are not a subtype of weaver idol)

[candid elm]

Guess we'll have to get one and see : ) even if it's just the small weaver idols, those are all straight up better than regular small idols

[near vale]

What's panning out to be the most survivable build for HC now?

[night kiln]

Can affix that is exclusive to corruption be slammed onto a legendary?

[candid elm]

There wasn't much changes to Sentinel or Paladin, so Judgement Paladin is still on the table.

[night kiln]

I plan to start on judgement pal once again

[near vale]

Nice. Did paladin get any new toys?

[candid elm]

I don't think so, the patch notes mention

The only actions you can take with a corrupted item if you no longer have any use for it are to shatter the item for affixes, sacrifice it at the Sacrificial Altar, sell it, or keep it as a memento from your item journey. Well, as long as the item didn’t become ruined. If that happens the only options are to sell it or keep it as a memento.
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/last-epoch-shattered-omens-patch-notes/80571/2#runes-of-corruption-and-corrupted-items-4

By Sacrificial Altar I believe that's referring to Gauntlet of Strife woven echo where you can sacrifice an extra copy of the same item to reroll all implicits and affixes within their value ranges.

[night kiln]

I am just happy that old toys weren't taken away 😆

[wide jay]

Is there a way to hold a button down on steam deck like you can on pc with the numpad trick? Ie have warpath permanently pressed without actually holding button down.

[near vale]

What idol altars will Paladin be looking for?

[unreal hinge]

Can an item have affixes of two different sets?

[candid elm]

Steam Deck has a "toggle" option for buttons. It acts like the button is held down until you toggle it off.

[toxic echo]

no

[gaunt igloo]

so what do refracted slots do?

[candid elm]

@wide jay try going to Controller Settings -> Buttons -> pick the Warpath button -> turn on Toggle. That should make it tap button once to hold down button until you tap it again.

[toxic echo]

buffs the affixes on idols via the affix on the altar

[wooden mesa]

Hey, quick question. I tried googling and didnt find a proper answer. Will i have to create a new character each season much like diablo yet still be able to play old characters online in an eternal type realm, or does it not matter and i can still do whatever with my original char in season changing

[toxic echo]

its just like diablo

except all content goes to eternal

so you dont have to restart unless you want the fresh economy

[wooden mesa]

Okay.. i dont really want to have to restart since i’m only just learning the game really.. only hit lvl 20 lol

[gaunt igloo]

what if there are no affixes on the altar like skyward altar. dropping in idols doesnt show the increase

[toxic echo]

there are always affixes? not implicits

like the affixes there, the second one, thats what i am talking about

[junior mesa]

Will these nodes work together, will my shadows using shadow cascade or multishot get the shadow dagger chance?

sorry i don't know why it formated the images like that, if you click on the left one you can read it

[shy birch]

hi all, I won a WL supporter pack on today's stream , but I already have one on my account... can I change it to another one? and if not, what happens if I redeem the code? will I just get 300 coins? (I don't want to write in the general chat sorry)

[toxic echo]

reach out to @grave epoch

[wide jay]

Thank you!

[gaunt igloo]

this is what im seeing

oooooohhhhhhh nvm

i see what you are saying my bad

wow thats crazy thought they were implicits

[toxic echo]

yeah thats just the base altar. i dont know if it can even drop like that. i think it say to drop with something on it at least. all the ones we have seen have had a few affixes on it

[gaunt mica]

Is there like an intro/in depth breakdown video or blog post(s} of LE for someone that knows arpgs, just not LE.

Trying to get a friend into LE

[toxic echo]

Prolly in #🎥┃video-shoutout

There are a few creators who always have vids up pretty fast

[sullen verge]

have they fixed

Does profane oblation get converted to different damage types if you take the Pyromancers or Frost Lich nodes?

[indigo scarab]

Internet says no

[candid elm]

Welcome!

[fathom hearth]

Kuzon's Fury "chance to throw a Burning Dagger when you use a melee fire attack and hit at least one enemy" – will this mod work with the ‘Dancing Shadows’ passive ability for Shift("After using Shift you use Shadow Cascade.")?

[faint cape]

Unlikely, since "when you use" generally is talking about a direct use

[near vale]

Which ARPG has the most deterministic crafting?

[icy drift]

Depends but generally I'd say LE from the ones I know

(if we're just looking at forging)

If we're talking about super duper high end LE legendary items that's a different story

[ancient kelp]

I did a Reddit post about this recently but just wanted to ask in here if someone could give me an answer...

I've just logged on after a period of being away from the game. I play Legacy online and what I've found is that after logging back in, all of my tabs and all of my items are now in a season to remove only tab.

What's confusing about this is I thought legacy was just a single instance. I could just log in, play. I have one stash and multiple tabs and that's it.

I'm curious: how do stashes now work in Legacy with new seasons? Does this mean I'm going to have to re-buy all of my stash tabs in Legacy just to move my items and use them?

[fallen parcel]

Idk but this aint it is would say poe 2 is getting there for sure the season before it had the most deterministic crafting ,last epoch is rng on top of rng and more rng nothing deterministic about it

[icy drift]

Items acquired from seasonal characters go into remove only tabs for legacy after the season ends

If the items were acquired on a legacy character they'll just be in the stash. So you likely played a seasonal character not a legacy character in the past.

[near vale]

I guess its a staple for all ARPGs to be RNG?

[fallen parcel]

Nah this game something else but like i recommend you to experience it try to go harder that 1t7 items and 300 corr

[gray sapphire]

roughly how much stronger is uber abby compared to normal abby?

[fallen parcel]

A lot stronger i think it has what 250 mill hp or something like that

[gray sapphire]

and normal abby has how much?

[fallen parcel]

Just go to tunklabs infor there

[prisma idol]

It could just be me mis-reading and misunderstanding the game mode descriptions, but it looks to me that the descriptions of these modes in the character creation menu differ from how they are described when you go to the settings menu via pressing esc in-game?

I could be wrong, or is this a bug?

3 images there to view

aka, it looks to me that they are potentially mixed up?

[candid elm]

I agree, it looks like the descriptions on Settings -> Challenges page don't line up. SAF can share items with your other SAF characters in that same game mode such as if both are SAF Online Season. SCF doesn't share items at all. If you'd like to push F8 key with that screen open, it brings up a bug report and takes a screenshot of it to send to the devs.

[prisma idol]

@candid elm Ok, thank you.

[undone otter]

just reported it internally too - settings page is indeed swapped

[serene relic]

is there a limit to summoned bees

[undone otter]

I dont actually know haha

guess this is the season we find out 😛

[prisma idol]

Thank you.

[mighty jewel]

When it comes to scaling DoT damage, does dex (or any other main stat) effect it if the skill that applies the DoT scales with it?
e.g. Poison from acid flask scales with dex, so would the DoT be increased with more dex?

[icy drift]

yes, if dex gives the skill a stat the dot would scale with

[hasty scaffold]

does corrupted mods on a legendary item count as a legendary affix? it's technically an affix, and it's on a legendary item.

looking at the new weaver set....

[faint cape]

I've seen triple digits on beecoy builds

There does not appear to be a limit

[sullen verge]

so wahts the strat now

do up to chapter 9

then go do 3 time liens and go do empowered?

[vale thistle]

depends on what you define as optimal, chapter 9 and 10 give attribute points you can't get elsewhere, as far as I'm aware anyway

if you don't care about that you can just go to monoliths as soon as you have your idol slots + 15 passive points unlocked

each dungeon also gives an idol slot unlock and 2 passive points

[vague viper]

How will you get Primal Rift now?

[paper beacon]

question why i cant equip this?

[toxic echo]

faction requirement most likely

but its pretty hard to tell from a quarter screen of stash

[paper beacon]

ahhh ok

[cunning canyon]

Hm.... am i too sleepy still or is LE Tools buggy? Were there undocumented nerfs?!

Seeing the idols in the planner, iam seeing weird numbers there... minor idols give the same values as the stout idol for example...
Buggy!? Wrong numbers?!

the 1x1 giving the same penetration as the 1x2 is giving...

It would feel kinda stupid to see altars buffing the idols but nerfs on the same idols, bringing the effect to +/- 0 😅

[desert tree]

1. There are still a few bugs
2. Be careful, dammit got data from 5 days ago and they have made number changes since then

Mostly corrupted affix nerfs

[cunning canyon]

yeah, thats why iam wondering, why the "untouched" "smaller idol" values look so weird.

[toxic echo]

also just cuz they got a datamine version...doesnt mean that there arent other things wrong too. they arent getting perfect information

like there is also the new skill node missing in meteor

[junior mesa]

does flat "added spell damage" so like +5 to spell damage work for fire aura and black hole?

[pastel vine]

Do the fire tornadoes from rune of Simoon gloves use the skill tree. IE, will they spend storm stacks if tornadoes specced into it?

[earnest garden]

yes, fire aura has 140% effectiveness of added damage per second (70% per tick)

[junior mesa]

ty

[bronze ocean]

The numbers are from the latest build, maybe they will be updated before S4 goes live.

[cunning canyon]

it isn't really a big deal, because the values are obviously not correct^^

It is impressive that the rest is already working and available ❤️
Good job as always 🫶

[jagged rivet]

Hello! How does endgame / Monolith / corruption work in multiplayer?

[junior mesa]

I believe the host controls and progresses only the host monolith. Extra players get "random" rewards while the host will recieve the chosen reward from the echo in most cases. In some cases only the host is eligible for special loot.

[brazen arrow]

Hi folks, Hyped for the upcoming season, currently playing POE Mirage, I was wondering if there are any builds close to poe 'Elemental Hit' or 'Holy Relic' builds in gameplay and play style

[desert tree]

It doesn't spend stack, but it cast storm Bolts

Even the fire one from the gloves

[pastel vine]

All I needed to know. Tyvm!!

[fervent ginkgo]

Does this echo work with weaver's will item?

[quasi hatch]

No, requires 1 FP to do the swap

[prisma swan]

why I cant use ut?

im super confused

[storm blaze]

You have to transfer it first

So just click the "Transfer" button in your inventory bottom left

[prisma swan]

not sure how :S

[prisma swan]

ohh, got it!! ty

[storm blaze]

I knew you might ask that so I wrote it ahead of time

[paper beacon]

why icant pick up this b3eer?

[indigo berry]

If you're on full potions it won't be picked up. Beer is just a fun and rare potion.

[storm blaze]

Because it's a potion and your belt is full

[undone otter]

and yet not the rarest fun potion name =X

@indigo berry btw - love your videos lately!

they pop up on my feed on YT often 🙂

[indigo berry]

Awesome - thanks a lot for mentioning that. Means a lot 😊

[languid sun]

Hi! I haven't played LE since early-early access. I want to start back up, but I see there's a new season in a week. Is it like a ladder-reset similar to Diablo? Trying to determine if I should wait to create a character until the new season or if it makes no difference and I can get started today

[undone otter]

yes its a full reset

all existing characters move to "legacy"

[storm blaze]

There's a ladder reset yes
So if you want to take part in the season you have to start a new character after the launch
If you don't care about the fresh start (and economy in merchants guild) you can just play Legacy character and still get the new content when it launches

[undone otter]

^

[languid sun]

Got it, thank you both very much!

[spare ocean]

hi, do u guys know if theres a way to setup the movement the following way: using WASD and dodge to the direction you moving via WASD, but use movement abilities like shift towards the cursor location? i found this all follow cursor/movement but its terrible for me.

i wanna use the actual action bar movement skill with with cursor positioning while spacebar dodge towards wasd directions. im surprised its not an option ( if im not mistaken) thanks in advance.

[hardy forum]

Yes, there is an option for “short, follows movement” or something. That way you evade where you press WASD, and use traversal skills with cursor

It’s more convenient this way for me for echoes, but for tough uber fight, I change to evade with cursor too as I need better accuracy

[lapis topaz]

Does anyone know why despite having over 100fps with a 3090ti and 5800x, the game sometimes drops to 10fps and sits there until I restart it?

[indigo scarab]

Is it in borderless window?

[lapis topaz]

It does this in fullscreen and borderless and on my 1080 monitor and on my 1440 monitor.

[indigo scarab]

I had issues the other day changed some stuff and then it was fine... could be the game server I dunp

[candid elm]

@spare ocean Thilysius already mentioned it, but for a bit more detail, in Settings -> Gameplay -> Keyboard Movement - Movement Abilities to adjust the movement / traversal Skill behavior, including Evade. Your options are:

• All - Follows Movement. All movement / traversal Skills follow character movement.
• All - Follows Cursor. All movement / traversal Skills follow cursor.
• Short Range - Follows Movement. This makes it so just movement / traversal Skills that have a Short tag follow character movement and those without a Short tag follow cursor.

For Short Range Follows Movement as an example with say a Sentinel, that makes Evade and Void Cleave - both have Short tag - follow movement but Skills like Shield Rush and Healing Hands with Rahyeh's Chariot - both don't have Short tag - follow cursor.

[sturdy crane]

Saw people talk about the imprint nerfs

Imprints if nothing else actually made player interact with mechanics of the game. RoH and RoR would have a significant drop in use if players didn’t have the items to use them on.

What is RoH and RoR?

[blazing umbra]

havoc, redemption

forums people are quite passionate with their wording

as all forums people are

[sturdy crane]

Ah runes, okay , ty
👍

[fallen parcel]

I mean what he says its true in that post

[hardy forum]

To be honest, I actually think imprint nerf is not that bad if it’s onyl half reduction in proc rate. Maybe it will give rise to 75 or 76 2lp slams, because let’s be honest, once you get a 2t7 exalt for a type, you can essentially throw out all of your regular t7s, and 67s (six seeeven 😂)

So I think the natural progression is:

• t7 slam
• t7 t5 slam on an early 2lp drop (would be cool if we could select an additional non exalted affix to be guaranteed)
• t7t6 slam on common 2lp items
• 2t7 slam for the high LPL uniques or rare uniques.

With that, most uber viable builds can kill uber, then you can just minmax if you want.

I think the bigger problem is the missed slams now going to hurt more and they already hurt a lot 😭 but it’s gonna be a slower progression, and that’s not necessarily bad

[fallen parcel]

People think imprint was op but like I can grind and drop 50 3t7 rings and maybe 2 of those after countless hours have 3 affixes thay I want so basically I have to redemption havoc the other 48 to try get others and its all rng aint gonna be easy at all

[toxic echo]

thats the point tho right? you werent using havocs and other methods because imprints existed

[hardy forum]

I have 30 bricked wands only 2t7 for a 4lp slam. Still not done and maybe won’t be done in this season

[fallen parcel]

They basically got rid of the one thing thay helped farming in the game while giving you nothing for it ,maybe in 7 months cof or mg get a buff there specially cof since imprints gor no buff from cof with the exalts only the uniques did

[fallen parcel]

What i am using all my runes ty to imprints without it what the point

The point ehg made makes 0 sense

[toxic echo]

that now you have to actually use more than just imprints to get good gear

thats the point

[fallen parcel]

Its too stronk so we don't give you anything to help with massive nerf

[toxic echo]

thats always been the point

[fallen parcel]

Loot dropped is garbo eagle always has

[toxic echo]

whatever did we do before imprints??? literally the dark ages i guess

[hardy forum]

I don’t think the game is being designed with 3t7 farming in mind LOL 😂 you’re like top 0.1% of player

[fallen parcel]

I mean if you want your t5 sure

It was definitely dark ages before

[toxic echo]

the game is not designed with 3t7 in mind. there should be 0 expectation on 3t7 gear

[fallen parcel]

Have you seen the new corr eagle

[toxic echo]

mike said that at the very first thing on stream yesterday

[fallen parcel]

You have tiers of corruption do you think thats great?

[fallen parcel]

Why then we have 3 lp or 4 lps

[toxic echo]

what do you mean? the corruption tiers are coming in the expansion

[fallen parcel]

Makes 0 sense if you want to make a casual game just copy d4

[fallen parcel]

Exactly

[hardy forum]

Idk, I will enjoy the game within whatever rules the game devs make. Within these rules, I can do whatever I want, and I like that

[fallen parcel]

Where does it make sense

Tier for corruption

So I can get t1 fire res 🤣

[toxic echo]

just because you have 3lp does not mean it is expected to have 3t7 to fit into it. thats an insane take. even a 755 is still better than a 75 or 7. you still getting an entire affix free

[fallen parcel]

Who actually did testing for ehg

[alpine pendant]

@void flicker no 300% dmg bonus

[toxic echo]

which even that small number would save you an idol slot to use for something else. its still good, albeit small good

[fallen parcel]

You make a 4 lp system and your answer is forget about it you aint supposed to slam anything on it like t7 affixes

[fallen parcel]

Its trash man common

[toxic echo]

yes becuase you are still getting more affixes. that is still more power

[fallen parcel]

Its copy and paste

[toxic echo]

ikik if its not perfectly minmaxed out the gate its just not worth your time

ik

[spare ocean]

so rogue Shift skill cannot follow cursor while dodge follows wasd because its short range. weird. wasd Shift traversal skill is inaccurate while dodge to cursor is annoying. i cannot believe there is no in between for Shift lol. thanks for info anyway.

[toxic echo]

anything lower than perfect t7s everywhere which you dont need to beat the game with

literally beat the game with blue gear

[fallen parcel]

They added 15 corruption outcomes and copy pasted the affixes tou already have access to on body chest for a whoping 75 affix on body armor possible corruption and also tiered corr so I can get t1 void res and whatever

[toxic echo]

there are more than 15 outcomes. lol

[fallen parcel]

Its the worse corruption system I have ever seen

[fallen parcel]

I know but realistically no they added 15 original while adding all the other affix the class gets

Its bloating for 0 reason

[toxic echo]

you know you are using false informatin in your argument but its ok?

lmao

thats a new one

[fallen parcel]

Go to last epoch tools unless is false ther too

[toxic echo]

you just said that you know there are more than 15

dont back track now

[fallen parcel]

Like t7 corr fire res its not new its a normal affix that exist

You can count the new ones cause they are in purple

You add the new one which vary but let's say 15 ,then you count idk 60 from normal ones for a whopping 75

Where is the lies there

Sure you can discount 1 or 2 because you slammed your unique but still stands same point

Oh and ty god I got t1 void res I love it

From corr

My bad 74non Sentinel on a 1lp it will go down to 73 my bad case point

[toxic echo]

yes that 73 is much different than the 15 you said earlier

[fallen parcel]

Now a ring is maybe like 57 still pretty awful

[fallen parcel]

I rather you listen but its very hard skill ro have

[toxic echo]

i listened perfectly fine. you said 15 outcomes. there are waaaaaay more than 15 outcomes. you said so

[fallen parcel]

I recommend going to LE tools and make a build and count actual corruption added in purple it will make sense I promise

[toxic echo]

ik it goes against all your complaining. but you said it.

[fallen parcel]

1lp gaming here we go

[spare ocean]

guys. "using a bow attack consumes this and gives extra poison chance". hail of arrow is a bow attack, consumes the stack but it cannot apply any posion. what am i missing here?

[toxic echo]

HoA applies poison tho?

[faint cape]

It gives poison chance on hit, but hail of arrows doesn't hit by default

[candid elm]

I feel like the ideal solution would be letting you set that for each individual movement / traversal Skill. Then you could pick to have Shift and Evade operate differently.

[spare ocean]

wait, what is it, if not a hit when it deals dmg? lol

[faint cape]

You can make HoA gain poison chance per second based on your poison chance on hit from the skill tree, it should work then

[faint cape]

Damage over time

[spare ocean]

okay so its just a dmg over duration not a hit i guess?

yea... fml

[alpine pendant]

it simply creates ground dot area

which is funny tbh

[spare ocean]

its pathetic

its take is damage over time, but i thought its just because i can apply dots. didnt expect it to be dot itself.

it changes everything lol

[faint cape]

Yeah, makes no sense tbh lol

[spare ocean]

my whole character going to garbage can now lmao

[gaunt igloo]

this would be the ideal way to go about getting the most out of this particular idol correct?

[toxic echo]

i would prolly want 3x1 on the sides instead of 2x1 and 1x1

but it also depends on what you actually need

also a 3x1 in the middle opens up that top most refracted as well

like if you switched column 2 and 3, you would get an extra refracted slot

instead of that 4x1 taking 2

[gaunt igloo]

yea im trying to get as much cooldown recovery as possible (this altar offers it)

ill look into messing with it more thanks bro!

and just like that omens idols exist lol

they give the same as 4x1

with +4 maximum omen idols

one can dream

[toxic echo]

that i think would be insane to actually get but yes

that is total minmaxed

[lyric echo]

I like status effects and controlling the battlefield more than pure damage, is there a build that centers around that?

[gaunt igloo]

with guile if i have 100 dexterity it will be 30% increased cooldown recovery correct? trying to figure out how to make shift cd go down further. rogue dont have nothing for cooldowns in the passive tree

[candid elm]

that sounds correct

Dexterity converts to Guile:
0.3% cooldown recovery speed for movement skills per point.
1% reduced armor per point.
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/last-epoch-shattered-omens-patch-notes/80571/2#runes-of-corruption-and-corrupted-items-4

[candid elm]

Hmm, looks like you can get Increased Cooldown Recovery Speed on Belt and Boots. And there's a few item based with it as an Implicit that Rogue can use: Gorgonscale Coif, Ascetic Gloves, Opal Ring & Corrupted Opal Ring, Corrupted Bottled Time Relic, Mercantile Insignia but not the corrupted version. Primordial Uniques Legends Entwinedl, Truesight Glass, Permanence of Primal Knowledge. Uniqte item Grasp of the Blood Mage and set item Corsair's Blood Cowl. As well as a few uniques specifically have it for Shift: Stymied Fate and Smoke Weaver. You already mentioned the Pyramid Idol Altar earlier.

[lime seal]

noob question but I want to take the thinking out of choosing a build
who/what site should i be looking towards for information related to strong builds / strategies

[candid elm]

If you want to just make up your own build to play through the campaign, that's total doable. When you get into end game, if you find yourself struggling and want to check out some guides, lots of streamers put out videos and there's sites like https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/ and https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides that will have end game guides. I just looked at Maxroll and only a couple guides have been updated in anticipation for the new Season, though. More will likely be added as it's closer to Season release and also after Season release when people have had a chance to try out the new things

[toxic echo]

Lastepochtools. Maxroll. #🎥┃video-shoutout

[gaunt igloo]

yea i found something interesting with the experimental point on use reduces traversal cooldown by x amount. end goal is to spam shift that casts shadow cascade

[candid elm]

Planning on using the new Doppelganger Set? have fun!

[zinc cliff]

How long does a wildfire wisp last? I don't see a duration listed anywhere

[gaunt igloo]

yup yup!

[sage glade]

Did anyone see if they made the change to +skill items returning skills to previously allocated ones after being unequipped and equipped again or at least changed to the last points you put into the tree?

[candid elm]

I didn't see that in the patch notes

[sage glade]

Ahh no worries, was a qol change I’ve been hoping for a while

[candid elm]

My understanding is that it's not the last assigned points so that people don't swap say between a clearing and boss build that way on the fly. But it can be frustrating if you're just sitting in town swapping gear around and it unallocates and you need to figure it out.

[sage glade]

Yeah I always have to spend a couple seconds figuring out what point it took

I guess returning the original points would be the better option then?

[candid elm]

yeah especially if you're in town

[naive coyote]

i was wondering if other people were having similar issues with le lately, i recently got back into again, and when i started to play i noticed some weird things, i had equipped some cosmetics on and when i moved to a new area it would unequip and some of my skills aren't showing and not so often le would force restart my res and display mode. i got a new pc and i made sure i changed my le setting to suit my new pc and it weird fine months ago, and now after a update all of this is happening

[lapis topaz]

Still having fps issues. Anyone know what's going on?
Really wish my 3090ti, 5800x, 64gb of ram were enough to run this game but I'm getting 15fps right now at very low settings for everything.
So what would I even get if I spent 4000 dollars on a 5090? Is that enough for 25?

[urban basin]

? I get over 180fps on 2016 pc running 1080ti

on ultra

do you have some bitcoinminer.exe running on your pc

[lapis topaz]

It wouldn't run on my pc anyway because I'm running linux. This is not a problem of some funny software thing in the background. I'm a programmer / server admin and generally know of common pitfalls.
The fps much of the time is fine. But sometimes there's a hitch when something loads and it gets stuck at 10fps until I restart the game.

[azure obsidian]

OR worse: windows 11?

Oh, I remember. LE is very CPU dependent in the form of single core usage, so your per-core clock is what matters most.

GPU is not very utilized since the graphics are are optimized enough.

[lapis topaz]

I'm running a 5800x @ 4.8ghz

[azure obsidian]

Not that I've done anything fancy myself and it runs smooth for me, but have you tried something like reserving a core for LE and the rest for everything else?

Re-reading I see you mentioned a hitch that reduces fps to 10 until restart of the game. I would consider a bug report on that, personally.

[lapis topaz]

I've seen other bug reports on it that were already submitted but I still haven't seen any solutions. Unless we think another report would be helpful?

[azure obsidian]

Might be architecture-specific is the thing.

[timid sentinel]

Hi
I'm wondering, is sentinal / paladin hammer throw still the fastest sentinal leveling experience?

[azure obsidian]

Calling all #🔱┃sentinel dwellers for the above question

[lapis topaz]

True. We still use the bug reports section on the forum right?

[desert tree]

Hard to say without playing the patch, but probably since it didn't get nerfed

[azure obsidian]

I would assume so, I have not used the forums myself personally, more the in-game tools if I felt the need to.

[desert tree]

Press F8 in game

[azure obsidian]

Been a long time since I've seen a game with a public bug tracker that players can view (not modify). The most important question I always have is if this bug is on that tracker the devs themselves look at when deciding what to prioritize and fix.

[desert tree]

That's the best way

[lapis topaz]

Never knew this existed. Thanks.

[azure obsidian]

A question about bleed/damage ailment stacking builds:
What do you look for most? Getting more stacks at once, so faster application and rate of stacks per hit, or more towards the damage per stack?

[uneven oak]

From my experience it’s usually a balancing act. I did a whole thing with Poison AoD last league and after getting enough chance to reach the 800+ syack count, getting more ailment chance really fell off for me.
But also certain skills thrives on ailment chance such as flame whip (although thats less of a dot build really)

Certain builds also can have less ailment chance due to their mechanics. Chaos bolt is a great example

[sour trout]

Is there an easy way to create generic leveling filters?

[azure obsidian]

Mhmm... I did try a lich bleed setup early season 3 and would just go over 1000 stacks of bleed, but the damage was utterly lacking. I am plotting a bee build, but I'm curious on the nature of DoT builds that work to good effect where I failed previously.

And yes, where the DoT is the damage.

[uneven oak]

To just straight up plug myself here: I was farming 500CR and killed Normal Abby in this setup
https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/BMwE8g5A

i had also written a pure DoT focused guide for Chaos Bolts here :
https://www.lastepochtools.com/build-guides/dot-focused-chaos-bolts-warlock
The specific gear setups might give you some insight into the rough stat inc dmg vs ailment chances for builds that are 100% cozy around the early 300-500CR range

Im not sure how helpful it can be

But better than nothing

Its definitely not an easy question with a nice answer

[azure obsidian]

The 300-500 corruption range is not encouraging, having a focus on taking it to uber, but hey, new season, new chances?

And yes, I want to take bees to uber and have them bleed him to death.

Unsure of the actual stack potential of what I did yesterday, but the damage per stack was around 300.

[uneven oak]

Yeah sorry then I’m unsure which DoT focused builds have actually killed it

[azure obsidian]

You know... you are one entity. Bees are, uh... potentially over 50 entities on a good day. All of them inflicting bleed stacks of some 300 damage. It might just work.

Thank you for a reference point, time to restart the planning, since I lost all my work yesterday...

[uneven oak]

Oof, yeah maybe the reference just helps in general. I dont make uberroth guides since I spend way too much time cooking up weird stuff

[azure obsidian]

I never made a build that can actually go far and have not tried in years, so I was mostly curios if I can even bake a build at all. Doesn't help that I went for the meme route of bees.

[desert tree]

With the set and the Uniques we had before,i don't think bees are memes anymore

[lapis topaz]

Seems like my fps issue is somehow caused by a rift beast spawning out of a primal rift. I'm reproducing it.

[finite peak]

I never played MG, lets say i farm my gear in cof, and I switch to MG, can I still use the gear?

[modest berry]

No

If an item has a faction mark on it, you cannot use it outside of that faction

[finite peak]

oke thanks

[sturdy crane]

You can use stuff you find with your cof char that has NO COF tag on your mg chars though

[finite peak]

thanks thats useful

[azure obsidian]

Generally speaking, don't change item factions mid-leveling. CoF gets its exclusive items (i.e. the little tag) that make them bound to your character being CoF from anything that changes said item. And CoF faction stuff changes a bunch of randomly dropped loot, so you may try to get that one item you want before going MG, but you may drop it as CoF-bound.
My personal recommendation: Pick your item faction when you get the choice to and stick to it.

[sturdy crane]

I just died in a lower corruption timeline that I specifically made lower to farm rampant coast while it still occurs often, and was confused why enemies dealt so much dmg, similar to the higher corruption.
Shouldn't the damage bonus be much lower with the smaller corruption?

Or does 400 corruption really only add about 70% dmg, lol

[azure obsidian]

Lemme double check the graph.

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/monolith-scaling Or you can look at this directly.

In short, the 2nd part, the 334 corruption thing looks to be off.

[sturdy crane]

Thanks!
Yeah, I figured. Is that a new bug with the recent patch? Lol

[azure obsidian]

Generally speaking, the difficulty factor (% health and damage) should be nearly 1:1 with corruption.

[sturdy crane]

Reported the bug ingame
Let's see if it disappears when I finish an echo, lol

Yes

That was weird. Wonder if this happens everytime you lower corruption now 😂

[urban basin]

can you select empowered on a timeline you havn't finished normal ?

[golden arrow]

Would it be fair to assume that the builds that were good this season will also be good next season, or are there any builds that are getting obvious buffs / nerfs? From the patch notes it looks mostly like a QoL patch

[sturdy crane]

After increasing corruption + after lowering it again

That seems to happen every time now. I am pretty sure it didn't do that before the patch I had today, whatever they changed there

[azure obsidian]

Pretty sure yes.

[azure obsidian]

Well, not many cues for such things, but there are a few notes on obvious rebalancing.

[urban basin]

a few specific idols were nerf slightly, if any breakpoints for anything were broken its a big nerf

[golden arrow]

I guess it's hard to gauge at this point

[azure obsidian]

Only the most hardened veterans of number crunching can accurately tell you what it'll be like. Outside of that, we're already here, may as well go in next season, see for ourselves.

[serene relic]

is there a limit on penetration effectiveness

ofc its always diminishing to a certain point but theres not like a x out point

right

[azure obsidian]

In LE, penetration reduces to below 0. So, unless you somehow go so negative that it underflows into maximum of the other end of the value, you should not have to worry.

[toxic echo]

more pen is basically just more dmg. really isnt a curve or diminishing returns

now there might be better overall dmg options

but more pen is never bad

[serene relic]

well

if i had like 1500% ele pen

going to 1700% ele pen wouldnt be 200% more dmg

is all im saying

i just wondering if there was some hard cap

but i guess not

[azure obsidian]

Penetration applies to resistances. Armor is an added layer on top which provides generic damage resistance. If your target does not have fully shredded armour, what it has will reduce the damage.

[paper magnet]

Almost no enemies in the game have above zero armor

[earnest garden]

enemies have no resistances, enemies have no armor. Penetration can be treated as a single more multiplier that stacks with itself additively (and for the most part penetration sources are incredibly rare so its not competing with itself often)

[toxic echo]

the 'd' key by default...all the dungeons try to teach you the mechanic while running thru the dungeon for the boss

[runic grail]

Why does Gift of Winter's reduced mana cost on direct cast also work on indirect sources like Macuahuitl and Warden's Echo? Is it bad wording on Gift of Winter or am I misunderstanding something

[azure obsidian]

It reduces the mana cost of the skill itslef, regardles of cast or trigger. The 2nd part is stirctly about casting directly.

[runic grail]

Okay, so the "Directly casting Frost Claw costs less mana" is actually "Frost Claw costs less mana to cast"?

[storm blaze]

Based on the wording it should definitely be only when you cast it instead of triggers

[azure obsidian]

I was reading it modifier-first.

I may have a bad habit of trusting the wording on the affixes over the description.

[faint cape]

Yeah, poor wording, the -mana cost always applies

[runic grail]

I mean the modifiers are right and the text has it flipped so not a bad habit

[azure obsidian]

So, it's technically a bug in that the description does not match the effect. It may need to read as "Frost Claw costs less mana and you have a chance to regain mana when you directly cast it". Could plop it into a bug report in-game?

[storm blaze]

Yeah, they could've made it a bit more clear.
Like say that it reduces the mana cost and also gives a chance to get mana back on direct cast

[toxic echo]

anything that is not worded super clear is worth a bug report

[azure obsidian]

Were I actually in-game and my eyes not merging slowly from half a day's worth of build plotting on a class I never played, I'd have considered submitting the bug report myself.

[runic grail]

Ill do it later when I go online

[zealous spoke]

honestly i am not sure what i want to play this league. i like necro but i feel it isnt going that far in corruption and survivability

any good suggestions thats easy to gear and can farm high corruption?

[toxic echo]

not much since no one has played on the patch

most things from last season will still be good

[junior mesa]

i think, rogue will be fun but generally squishy as always with multiple fun ways to play this season. both multishot rend and shadow dagger rend sound fun, depending on some of these interactions it could be super powerful.
I think mage will also have some fun builds this league, personally i am thinking about trying to start fire aura spell blade , i think the tankiness and damage will fall off very fast though. Volcanic orb mage also looking fun with multiple ways to play (frostbite, ignite, orb core, orb shrapnel, orb explosion, crit) damage should be pretty good although same mage squishiness issues.
Bee builds on both rogue and primalist look interesting, but it being a minion build and watching previous AI videos of bee's at work i will probably pass on this, the minion AI for clear looks horrible to me personally.

If your looking for whats going to make it to the highest corruption i have no idea, i like to play multiple builds per season and after i kill normal abberoth i consider the build successful. I don't usually even attempt uber unless the build is feeling super good as getting to the tankiness levels for that level of gameplay often feels near impossible on most classes. Some classes have multiple Damage reduction paths while others are left hanging in the wind.

[fallen parcel]

Just play abomination its gonna be broken as always

Back to Werebear shatter totem

[fluid saddle]

i dont recall seeing any nerfs to it and it was already very strong so

[urban basin]

if I have 200 intelligence and 1200% increased spell damage, on a 4% int scaling skill, the int goes into the 1200% pool and makes it 2000% in the math right?

[desert tree]

Correct

Because they are both " Increase "

So it's the same bucket

[odd quiver]

are there any skills that feel like Exsanguinate (POE1), Ember Fussilade (POE2), or Storm Burst (POE1)?

I'm particularly interested in Exsan with the big DOT. I would play Unleash Exsan and cast once, then let all the enemies bleed out, with additional casts for rares.

so anything that would chain and apply hefty DOTs

[golden helm]

New player werebear question

Hi! Brand new player and going to coop full with my SO. Is a werebear Druid strong end game right now?

I’ve never played before but wanted something I can get strong without maximum min/maxing 🙂 thanks!

[austere aurora]

Does channeling prevent mana regen? Or was that changed in S3?

[toxic echo]

that was changed

but the chanelling cost was raised as well

so it takes some work to break even

but it is possible

[prisma sleet]

anyone else have sound issues on the steam deck? like it almost seem like a glitchy radio?

[undone rose]

Does the damage immunity from core of the mountain negate delayed damage such as from death seal?

[sonic saddle]

@mint trench to provide an answer to your question in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs a lot of the damage scaling for minion stuff is damage type independant, so often a chunk of flat is mostly just a chunk of flat and doesn't need to be of a particular flavour of damage

Void is just thematic

Tho it would be preferable if it was adaptive

And not gonna lie, that relic base is kinda crap as a result

[mint trench]

i see

[kindred narwhal]

Idk 17 is kind of big tbh

[sonic saddle]

Not when you consider the competition really

If it's a solo companion then the weaver relic is 15% more damage

[kindred narwhal]

That is true, depends on your minion/companion I suppose

[sonic saddle]

If it's group companions then tyrant skull is giving a bunch of flat melee phys

I guess if you're going crows neither applies

[kindred narwhal]

It would be good if it wasn't on a relic slot, upheaval and thorn totem wants to use Laupa anyway

[faint cape]

It prevents new delayed damage instances from being applied to you while active, but does not mitigate existing stacks

[zinc cliff]

Does "Bees per 10 seconds" round up, or take into account fractions? IE if I have 1 bee/10s on an idol and have 30% increased effect of affix, does it become 1.3 or just round to 1. Also does this math get done per-idol or in fractions and then added at the end, 1.3 with 3 idols would be 3.9 and then round to 4 or just be 3.9 and hide the partial number? Thanks

[hoary widget]

Anyone else getting crashes to the desktop?

Not super freqent but twice so far this evening. Updated my drivers amd it did not help.

[kindred narwhal]

You can verify your files via steam, fixed me crashing before

[faint cape]

Most stats are calculated taking fractions into account, so it might for bees, too. Since there's not a ton of bees per second items yet and the only relevant idol effect is reliquary nest, I don't know how everything combines accounting for idol affix effect yet.
For what it's worth, the final result doesn't need to be a whole number, so it doesn't need to round at the end unless they arbitrarily make it so (attributes for example are forced to be whole numbers).

[zinc cliff]

the idol altars can also add percent effectiveness to the bee affixes

I just don't want to fall victim to a rounding error

[faint cape]

Yeah, but those aren't in game yet so we can't test yet

[austere aurora]

What is a "legendary idol"?

[faint cape]

A unique idol with extra affixes on it (such as from corruption)

[potent quartz]

will we able to predownload this season?

[storm blaze]

Most likely no

[desert tree]

Pre download is not possible since there is full offline

It means you could pré download and play the new patch in full offline before it's up online

[lapis topaz]

Not if they encrypted the files right?

[desert tree]

🤷

I am just parroting 🦜🦜

[azure obsidian]

Was going to consider Steam's pre-load thingy, but then I remember that one can just unplug the internet cable and do whatever on their machine.

[scarlet karma]

I am rather new ish to the LE game, I have pushed 1k corruption last season but felt like I hit a wall and couldnt do some bosses at that level even though my gear seemed near perfect. (heartseeker build) Is there any builds that have fast clear but can be geared to push high corruption? Any advice is highly aprpeciated

[azure obsidian]

1k corruption is sweet spot anyway.

So I'd say you did good for yourself 🙂

Going further is more meta knowledge-based and rogue is notorious for having broken builds, but not exclusively. You can head down to the Classes category of channels, ask around there for detailed opinions on builds pertaining to the classes themselves.

[teal ibex]

Do we have any idea what happens if you have blade shield allocated for shuriken and the node that lets bladestorm cast shuriken? Do they attach to you or the bladestorms...somehow?

They are a few around, but I personally don't use them so I cant help you

[tight olive]

No worries thanks for letting me know that's how it's done. Will try to find one or create one from the guides in game

[keen lily]

What was the optimal/fastest campaign route again? Finish act 7 and then go into Monos?

And use Temp Key to skip into A9 later for boss?

[toxic echo]

yeah. but now with unlocking the lvl 90 timelines differently you might actually just want to finish campaign normally

instead of hoping for a temp sanc key drop

[keen lily]

Aight ty. Doing a test run tomorrow, been a bit rusted as I didn't play in S3 much aswell

[candid elm]

That works fine. It has the advantage of getting all the passive and idol unlocks before entering Monoliths. Another option:

Go through the campaign until you reach Chapter 5 and get the Temporal Sanctum waypoint. Then go into Monoliths until you get a Temporal Sanctum dungeon key and feel comfortable fighting that dungeon boss. Use the Temporal Sanctum dungeon exit to get into Chapter 9 and join an item faction. Then complete the last couple of passive and idol unlocks in Chapter 9.

I did that the last few Seasons and it also works fine. It gets you into Monoliths faster, but at a lower level and you'll be missing a couple unlocks until you finish them in Chapter 9 later.

[iron forge]

Noticed I've gotten a bit rusty in theorycrafting and just want to clarify, if I give fire Tornado Spell Void damage via Abyssal Rite from Sac Embrace, the Spell void part is also scaled by Elemental Damage over Time since the Tag on Tornado doesn't change? Or do I remember that wrong and I need General DoT or Void DoT then?

[valid iris]

where is the best place to look for a build guide, or the best place to choose what build to go with for one season?

[icy drift]

No

[faint cape]

No, it stays void damage and only scales with void, spell, and/or DOT

[icy drift]

Only elemental damage is scaled by increases to elemental damage

Tags don't matter

[fallen parcel]

Act 5 skip is faster if you can handle it

[candid elm]

If you want to just make up your own build to play through the campaign, that's totally doable. Especially if you have any ARPG experience. When you get into end game, if you find yourself struggling and want to check out some guides, lots of streamers put out videos #🎥┃video-shoutout and there's sites like https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/ and https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/build-guides that will have end game guides. I just looked at Maxroll and only a few guides have been updated in anticipation for the new Season so far. More will likely be updated as it's closer to Season release and also after Season release when people have had a chance to try out the new things.

[valid iris]

okay. I've played the past couple seasons but i hate the idea of playing with a sub-optimal build so i stick to the guides. I'll continue to use those sites. Thanks!

[candid elm]

You can also just start with a leveling guide and then switch to an end game build later. Many need certain items before you switch anyway

[alpine pendant]

[toxic echo]

lololol. yes

[solar rampart]

Hey guys, which Build is good for progression and to kill uber abbaroth thats not Erasing Strike or Void Path?

Im lf zhp Ballista Falconer. Is it a good build for league start and uber abbaroth kill?

[toxic echo]

it can do ubby, yea. there really isnt anything that is a 'bad' starter really...nothing is really locked from farming anything

its not super easy to tell what is good or bad tho, since no one has actually played on the patch

but most things from last season will still be good

[solar rampart]

tyvm. i just want a build for now that can progress well and is able to kill ubby. thats it. rest will be farmed and swapped to a diffrent build ^^

[earnest garden]

I would say that Bees is probably a “bad” starter since it relies on stacking specific idols, any build that is very idol reliant can be hard to run as a starter

[storm blaze]

You could probably get the bees running once you have the set

With something else helping your damage

[minor path]

The time on that event Eagles linked and in the forum posts will adjust to your Timezone. EHG has it set to release on 11AM Central Timezone, but you'll see it converted to your Timezone instead.

[solar rampart]

is any build out of S-Tier (https://maxroll.gg/last-epoch/tierlists/corruption-tier-list) a good starter and potentialy a ubby killer?

[potent quartz]

guys does this count for two handed axe as well

[minor path]

Yep that's what I thought thanks

Yes, either 1H Axe or 2H Axe should work

wrong channel

[sour trout]

Did the devs ever talk about why they want shatterstrike paired with mana strike? I feel like so many builds just get to enjoy their main ability, while shatterstrike is like fun fun fun ugh out of mana, mana strike time

[marble vortex]

Does anyone know the fix for error "failed to load il2cpp"? no google fixes worked. only happens on laptop whil pc is fine

[buoyant sinew]

I'm not aware of them specifically talking about it, but generator spender is one of the core fantasies spellblade (and all of mage really) is targeting isn't it? spellblade has loads of stuff that encourages weaving free skills with expensive skills. so presumably it's tying into that.

[dusky stratus]

did eh ever address paid classes?

[sour trout]

isn't that kind of why its been less popular though?

[dusky stratus]

last time i heard about LE people were mad about paid classes

are they implemented yet? or is that coming this next season?

[sour trout]

its not out prob not till next year

[dusky stratus]

ty

[toxic echo]

I had to reinstall

[dusky kite]

mage is the stepchild of the family so all mage builds must suffer

if you want to just blow shit up, play sentinel

[sour trout]

I know some peopele big mad but if we get like a scion from poe where I can play a mix of the classes I would gladly pay for that if it helps support the game. Imagine being able to play flay with lich but also with some rogue shit, that would be such a vibe lmao

[buoyant sinew]

very possible, generator spender does seem to be a playstyle a lot of people dislike. but that seems like pretty clearly why they did it, whether or not we like it

[dusky kite]

2 more patches to go so check back in 12-18 months

[buoyant sinew]

this feels a bit outdated given that meteor builds are going to absolutely demolish everything this season

[sour trout]

for sure, I played shatterstrike mad long ago and loved it, but when you play other classes its like oh nice I get to just vibe and play my main ability not like "Fun fun fun, oh damn out of mana mana strike"

[marble vortex]

will try, but deleting cache and file verification didnt help.

[dusky kite]

I havent been following that much but I'm positively sure that all meteor builds will still suffer on mana and have to use active mana regen skills

[buoyant sinew]

most of them will yeah, but that won't stop them being OP

[dusky kite]

it would also not be half as bad if mana strike didn't suck quite this much in terms of animations, hitbox, etc

[sour trout]

meteor does not use mana strike though right?

[buoyant sinew]

some meteor versions use cooldown mana strike

cause it's just like press your mana strike once every 4 seconds for instant +150 mana with a bigger aoe

[sour trout]

ah ok so they adding it to all the sorc buiids?

rogue season it is

[buoyant sinew]

some of them

[dusky kite]

wdym "they adding it"? It's always been mandatory on most sorc builds since 2019

people just avoid playing them cause it sucks

[buoyant sinew]

but yeah if you don't want to ever play generator spender that does lock out a lot of mage builds

[sour trout]

when I played glacier and never once had to use mana strike

[dusky kite]

you can still play glacier without mana strike, if you spend like 6 skill points that also g imp your damage on mana regen that is

kinda serves to reinforce the core point here

[sour trout]

frozensentinels frostclaw I also played and never had ot use it right?

[dusky kite]

right which is why I'm saying that most people just avoid playing builds that have to use active mana regen

so spammable frost claw, lb, etc

or that meme focus build for that matter

[sour trout]

Yeah idk I played a lot of mage and only time I ever had to really send mana strike was for shatterstrike but I maybe the less popular builds all use it?

I feel like I saw a lot of sorc and runemaster builds without it for years

[dusky kite]

the reason why a lot of those builds are "less popular" is exactly because they need active mana regen which sucks especially in the instance of mana strike and focus

which are the two main mana regen skills on mage

[marble vortex]

nope, didnt work

[dusky kite]

and some like mana regen runebolt are very niche and usable in like one build

[sour trout]

no I am saying the less popular ones were the ones using mana strike

if you go to lastepochtools right? And click runemaster like 4.5% of the builds use mana strike, its pretty low. That is just one sample size though, would be curious for like big numbers for all mage builds

[junior mesa]

have you tried steams verify files? have you updated your graphics drivers?

Do you know what antivirus software you are running? have you tried disabling your anti virus software , rebooting, then trying to see if the game works? (after reboot make sure anti virus is still disabled).. if this step works then you probably need to add some files/folders to your anti-virus softwares ignore list or something.

also make sure to turn on anti-virus after test

[toxic echo]

Can try support then

!support

[ripe brook]

Need a hand? Just head on down to https://support.lastepoch.com/ for support articles or to reach out to us directly.

[marble vortex]

done all of the above, reinstalling for the third time (a charm?)

[junior mesa]

instead of re-installing, which you keep saying you are doing. have you tried the actual verify steam files?

[toxic echo]

#❔┃ask-the-community message yes

[marble vortex]

yes, I did everything you listed. both excluded the folder in malwarebytes and disabled it

[junior mesa]

if the game worked previously for you, you could try rolling back your graphics drivers to a previous version.

[rain forum]

What will be some 2k corruption Uberoth capable builds next season

[toxic echo]

No one can know this since no one has played the patch yet

[desert tree]

Detonating Forge Weapons

Poison Human Serpent Strike Beastmaster

Energy waves Falconer

Fire Crit Firebrand Spell Blade

I don't really play Acolyte so I can't help you there

😏😏

[rain forum]

ahh ok

thanks for the suggestions

Ill google them

I might try the frog build too

but thats acolyte :P

[desert tree]

Good, you got it was a joke 😁

[crimson oxide]

does anyone know if you lose Foot of the Mountain stacks when using dancing strikes?

I know you don't lose them when moving with Serpent Strike, but I don't know about Dancing Strikes and I can't test atm

[fallen parcel]

Same as before pretty much except acid flask🥲

[warm kayak]

Downloading the game today. Been on wishlist for awhile now. Saw this game and how awesome it looked and wanted to try it even during the fresh season on D4 rn.

I ask yall what class yall recommend going based on what I like, cuz it seems like there's a lot of choices and I dont really wanna start a character I intend on not playing.

Preferences: Any of these following or a mix of them would be wonderful. -- Thorns/Tank-n-spank -- Pets/Minions -- Mid Ranged to Melee

I've seen a few videos but I dont want to spoil the game by watching too much. Any advice would be appreciated. 🙂

[toxic echo]

something primalist/beastmaster(tons of options on the minion type here) is most likely going to fit all those pretty well. or a forged weapon forge guard.

the good part about LE is that there isnt a bad choice, especially during the campaign and leveling, so you can really test things out before 'committing' to the build long term.

and respecs are cheap and easy, so there really isnt even a committment part tbh

[opaque pulsar]

hello, i would like to know a nice place to check out builds, if possible

[queen ermine]

Maxroll or lastepochtools have lots of build guides. Also people post in the video shout-out channel

[opaque pulsar]

ty, is the game in a new season?

oh i just noticed it will launch in 3 days, now i kinda want to just wait xD

[dire bronze]

i forgot what tier dugeon do i need to do to get to choos one mod for lp slams

[toxic echo]

T2 or above

[coarse parcel]

what do you guys think is the best starter for the next season ?

[meager junco]

ion cannon

[jaunty garden]

Anyone know how extra crit chance works for Truesight Glass? It says up to a 40% chance for the megacrit, but doesn't say how you get there. Is it just 140% crit chance, and that gets you the 40% chance to megacrit?

[main ferry]

I had pretty much the same question as the others, I just got the game and am doing a trial run before the season start. Is this season drastically changing builds? Is there some sort of new player friendly build that isn't expected to change by much?

[sonic saddle]

Yes

[sonic saddle]

For the most part how builds function won't be changing

I'd suggest watching dr3adful on yt, he demos ssf builds documenting the progression and strength and i know he's lately done a video on how a dozen are updating for the new season

[main ferry]

Will do, ty.

[indigo scarab]

Be cool if you could save a build and switch to another and save it I guess like Diablo III armoury

[jaunty garden]

okay so then if i have quicksilver coil which gives +100% crit chance with flurry's third strike, then all i need is 40% increased from like a passive or something? and then i am capped on my chance to megacrit?

[sonic saddle]

Yes

[jovial sedge]

hmm for some reason both maxroll and last epoch build planner does not calculate the added attribute of the affix "+ x to all attributes with at least 7 non-idol corrupted items equipped"?

[meager junco]

soon

[jovial sedge]

so they have not updated that yet?

[bronze ocean]

I'll add new mods support to LE Tools build planner later today.

[alpine pendant]

were stout and humble weaver idols resistance mods nerfed, I remember them going up to 21%, but now in planner they show up as up to 12% like minor and small

[azure obsidian]

How long ago are you thinking?

[bronze ocean]

Yes, you can check affix changes here:
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/version/version140/changes/prefixes
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/version/version140/changes/suffixes

[alpine pendant]

oh thats too bad, I missed that in the patch notes if it was there.
But it is understandable, they were so easy to max resistances with

[azure obsidian]

I see. Well spotted, then.

[shy turret]

is there a change log for le tools that we can publicly see?

[bronze ocean]

I post updates about site changes in my discord.

[shy turret]

hm i cant see that channel

can i get an invite to your discord?

[bronze ocean]

Link is at the top right corner on LE Tools. I can't post discord links here.

[shy turret]

got it, thanks

[sour trout]

This might be a dumb question but for the supporter packs it says the rogue gear unlocks on league launch right? If we buy the largest supporter pack we get everything including the stuff that unlocks Thursday right?

[storm blaze]

Everything unlocks on Thursday

[summer dagger]

Does this mean hit a shocked enemy or has shocked an enemy? (Two nodes like this on storm totem)

[azure obsidian]

Tooltip bug, so I'd report it as such

Presumably the "an" is extra.

[vast rose]

has it been said that you cant remove a base affix on a unique item with corrupting?

[azure obsidian]

Presumably corruption does not alter the unique affixes of an item. The legendary affixes part, though... not sure.

[vast rose]

unlucky

[desert tree]

Has hit a shocked enemy

[sturdy crane]

What's the maximum memory amber we can hold?
Faction favor caps at 999 999, is that the same for amber? (pls @ me if you reply, I g2g and might miss it otherwise, hehe)

[azure obsidian]

As per the patch notes on runes of corruption, "Adding or removing affixes" is a bullet point out of the potential outcomes, but is also generic enough to mean several things at once. Adding an affix is valid on items, since you can add a corrupted affix to just about anything. Per past experience in other titles, removal of affixes excludes unique affixes, what with PoE2 only taking that step recently in the season that is still ongoing: the ability to replace unique affixes with corruption-specific affixes.
Based on this, I would assume runes will not remove unique-specific affixes, but legendries have their generic affixes we slam onto them and those... may just be fair game.
Ultimately, we do not have the full detail on what corrupting does in LE yet.

[azure obsidian]

That being mostly something people who really want to experiment and push the bounds and never use the resource of the faction, I would instead consider asking that in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs .

[sturdy crane]

In MG it stacks up really quickly when you don't need to buy much. Constantly capped, hah

[uncut sierra]

Guys new player here, if we play duo with my bro with both CoF can we give each other gear drops?

[azure obsidian]

Unfortunately only with the resonance system, which is highly restrictive.

Some of us are calling for a better co-op system that also balances the issue of exploits and abuse and the age-old issue of RMT in arpgs.

[alpine pendant]

if you are in the same area when item drops you can freely trade them without resonances

[uncut sierra]

Gotcha, so boss drops we could share on the spot

[alpine pendant]

ye

[uncut sierra]

The faction choice betweem CoF and bazaar is account wide I suspect yeah?

👀

[alpine pendant]

per character

[uncut sierra]

Ohh interesting

But you cannot like, storage share to your other guys righttt

[azure obsidian]

Indeed, the issue is if you play separately at any time. If you drop an item that you want to give to your friend while not playing with them, you use the resonance system.

[alpine pendant]

you can, but all items bought in bazaar get tagged so that they require bazaar character to equip them. in cof dropped items that were influenced by cof bonuses will require cof character to wear them

[uncut sierra]

Thanks for the info, we will prolly just play CoF together since hes a newbie arpg player

[azure obsidian]

Yeah, the co-op system goes on top of regular play. It is a regular thing that a tagged item cannot be used by the other faction, period.

That applies also if you switch item factions mid-play.

[candid elm]

If you're playing together in the same area and an item drops, you can use item gifting to give your friend an item. Use their icon on the left side to access item gifting.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/item_gifting

If you're not playing together in the same area and an item drops you want to give your friend, there's a resonance gifting system for that. Although it takes a while to build up resonance https://www.lastepochtools.com/guide/section/resonance

Yes if you're both in Circle of Fortune item faction then you can use also item gifting or resonance on the items that drop with CoF required symbol in lower right and be able use them.

Note there's no direct item trading in Last Epoch. Just the item gifting, resonance gifting, and using Merchant's Guild item faction to buy/sell items a single time after which they can't be bought/sold again.

[candid elm]

Have fun!

[weak schooner]

does corrupting an item use forging potential

[storm blaze]

Well you can use it on 0FP item
but you can't modify it further after that so use it as the last thing

[weak schooner]

ok, yea just wanted to know if it used the forge potential

thank god

[desert tree]

It doesn't, but you can't do no more crafting with the item after

[peak citrus]

If i make loot filter now woudl it save for season 4?

[toxic echo]

yeah, filters are stored locally. you just might still have to tweak it when the season actually starts

idk if the filters have all the new stuff yet

[sage wedge]

what new builds are you looking forward to leveling this weekend?

[dusky kite]

You mean new new builds? Orbiting volcanic orb spellblade maybe

[merry kernel]

is this reliable?

[dusky kite]

but tbh the new changes open a bunch of possibilities for any build, I'll try brewing something with the essence weaver, corruption, and the new 50% better weaver affixes on weapons set

[dusky kite]

I mean, it's a bunch of opinions (largely untested so far) from a bunch of decent players, take that as you will

[wispy bluff]

check above the list, it'll usually say when it was last updated or for what season it is for.

[merry kernel]

interesting >.>

[wispy bluff]

I'm waiting for the Speed Farming list to come out. That's usually the one I reference most.
