[iron zealot]

I mean, in my own experience, the most insufferable people I have met are hardcore feminists--whether male or female

[bitter totem]

Yeah lets not get into that

Like what I said to Claire, theres really no need to bring gender into it at all

[vapid aspen]

So... Who wants to fix my bad build?

[quick thorn]

I think we should get back to asking questions about LE since this is a slipeery slope. @bitter totem Why is the new crows skill going to be the best ARPG skill ever made?

[bitter totem]

Thats why I mentioned it when she did it, it really has no place in the discussion

[abstract pecan]

The trouble is what’s tongue in check irl with friends might look very different on the internet.

In his case, he thought he was being cheeky. I can even imagine him saying that to his friends or even EHG devs irl if he feels comfortable enough to be cheeky with them. Problem is when typed over an internet chat it’s so easy to misread it.

[vapid aspen]

Anyone? First come first serve

[quick thorn]

Go BM "Name i cant spell raein" You can not go wrong

[bitter totem]

Yeah but this wasnt said to friends or people he was comfortable with, and you still wouldnt say it to a stranger was my point

[vapid aspen]

Now I just gotta figure out what BM stands for :)

[bitter totem]

beast master?

[quick thorn]

Beast master. EVen if you do 0 damage you look amazing while doing it and that is the hardest battle

[iron zealot]

Regardless of anything else, I think it's easy to see why someone would get chat banned for trashing on the devs in a very disrespectful manner. A game ban, though? Seems excessive.

[vapid aspen]

Rip thats one of the like, 4 classes I don't have a character of yet

[iron zealot]

Also, most games do temp bans--not perma--for that sort of behavior.

[bitter totem]

It was temp

24 hours

[iron zealot]

Ah, missed that part

[quick thorn]

I highly recommend getting use to BM. Since crows are coming and they are going to be the best skill ever made to any game ever. You will want to know the class a bit better for it on monday

[bitter totem]

Cant wait for crows to suck

[iron zealot]

Okay, so "You can't play today, because you're being shitty. Come back tomorrow" seems a lot more reasonable.

[bitter totem]

Still abit extreme tho

[quick thorn]

You get my first ever thumbs down emoji Jay.

[bitter totem]

Deserved tbh

[abstract pecan]

[bitter totem]

See, my actions had consequences

[vapid aspen]

Hm I was gonna link my current bad build but can't find the button

[iron zealot]

As much as I hate Riot's social engineering nonsense, they are correct to point out that sometimes people just have bad days. Temp bans for this are perfectly reasonable. In the 6+ years I played League, I've had two instances of 3 day bans for losing my cool.

Hard to fault them for it

[bitter totem]

Yeah but making a big deal out of it and not just being like "Yeah I lost my cool, sorry it happens" is a big difference

We all have bad days

[iron zealot]

It's all about context

Maybe just a chat ban would have been enough

Maybe a time out is more appropriate

[bitter totem]

We never actually found out from the OP if it was a game ban or just a chat ban btw

so it could very well have just been a chat ban

[iron zealot]

If what really happened was just him saying "Fuck the devs," just a chat ban is probably all I would have done in their position

[bitter totem]

yeah same

[iron zealot]

And he can cry about definitions and CoC or whatever, but we all know the basic rule of these things: DBAA

[bitter totem]

dont be an asshole?

[iron zealot]

Ya

[vapid aspen]

Ahha. So for real though, anyone wanna point out all the crippling flaws in my build? https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/zQq38NoN

[bitter totem]

Youre using lethal mirage?

[opal mesa]

Ah if it isn’t the consequences (no snacks) of my actions (saying i dont need snacks at the store)

[iron zealot]

Anyway, back to game... just dropped by to see what the commotion was about

[bitter totem]

your cascade is built wrong

[opal mesa]

Youre built wrong

[bitter totem]

Not sure why you have flurry...

what is this build meant to be?

you have no flat damage on your daggers?

why are you soooooo over capped on res

my brain

[vapid aspen]

The res was an accident.

[bitter totem]

if you want to play cascade just play this https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/5Bxp72Bv

[quick thorn]

Umm the only thing I can really say is look at a guide. There are a bout 30 things that could be fixed and its not an easy fix to just go through everything

[bitter totem]

should be able to respec pretty easily

[vapid aspen]

Can it work without the no attack speed scaling on cascade node?

Because that node makes me hate life

[bitter totem]

yeah because you dont self cast it

[quick thorn]

The point of the build is to 1 shot everything so attack speed is pretty meaningless when you only need 1 time

[bitter totem]

You only use shift to proc it

sync strike and shift on bosses

otherwise shift should be enough

[quick thorn]

Fully expect it to get a little nerf next patch tho. It is super duper strong like Jay

[bitter totem]

Oh yeah big time getting nerfed, although I expect it to be shadow daggers more so than cascade

[vapid aspen]

So what you're saying is play a different character XD

[bitter totem]

Pretty much yeah

[vapid aspen]

Is lethal mirage just straight bad and never worth building around then?

[bitter totem]

Pretty much yeah

Jinx

[marsh maple]

Cooldown too long

[bitter totem]

myself

[void tapir]

is volcanic orb a viable main skill or only useful for stationary target nuking?

[quick thorn]

I used it for a useful skill. You lose some dps by still having it move but helps with clear a lot. Use the dark hole the pull everything in and you obliterate packs. Its not the fastest by any stretch of the imagination but it did work through mono's

[void tapir]

kinda missing the ice orb from D2 playstyle but not sure if its possible to recreate it here...

[quick thorn]

I tried very hard and It is kind of recreateable (Less small projectiles) but you have to regain mana with focus quiet a bit and I really dislike that playstyle so it turned me off of the build. But It is definitely viable for sure.

[spare veldt]

Hi guys! I did the story mode few months ago. I can't created a new character with Masochist mode anymore. What's going one?

[lime gust]

have there been any info on how legendaries will work? was it mentioned somewhere here recently so that I can find the info?

[opal mesa]

Not yet

[lime gust]

if i have a 300% chance to shred armour or inflict an ailment, does it proc 3 times each hit?

[opal mesa]

yep its 3 stacks

100% is 1 stack, 200% is 2 stacks etc

[lime gust]

nice thank you

so if I have 150% I have one stack guaranteed with a 50% chance to inflict another one?

[balmy current]

yup

[noble marsh]

I have a problem with setting up a loot filter, can't even get the menu to work, it freezes and doesn't detect any files which are clearly in the right folder since that's the folder game opens when asked for said folder

any ideas? I can stream

[cloud kindle]

If you remove all the files, can you get the menu to work? If so, there is probably a corrupted file. If not, you may want to repair LE by checking the files if you're on Steam client

[boreal cedar]

Are bosses considered rare enemies?

[near moon]

Do blessings only effect the timeline/island that they are on or is it all blessings effect all timelines?

[balmy current]

all blessings affect your character wherever it is & whatever it's doing

[cloud kindle]

no

[near moon]

Thanks llama

[boreal cedar]

Why do the monoliths have levels if they just end up scaling to whatever your level is?

Does it effect the modifiers they roll or something?

[cloud kindle]

They don't scale. The "scale" thing written is legacy, if I understood correctly

[boreal cedar]

I see it in the area level in game

sometimes it says its scaled to weird levels like 42 as well

[minor vigil]

what are some cool directions to take void knight? it looks like an interesting mastery, but it seems like the spells dont work w/ the mastery bonus

[boreal cedar]

idk there are build guides on the forums I hear the rive skill is OP

[minor vigil]

oh thanks i found it

[vapid aspen]

The spells don't scale with the damage part of mastery, but spells can echo and at top of tree echo chance can get quite high. I think future strike can also work with spells but don't recall. If it does you could go for rapid hits or something.

That said, VK imo has two of the coolest skills mechanically in the game. Reversal is pretty fun to play with and definitely is a good change of pace from other classes. Anomaly is most likely the best defensive tool out there, since you basically get to say nope to enemies, including bosses, and get a few seconds to think/move/heal. Its just so good at letting you get away with a silly positioning error or a stunlock.

[balmy current]

Future Strikes is a non-DoT ailment that can be proc'd by anything that hits.

The echoing mechanic is awesome

[minor vigil]

those skills are actually why i was interested haha

they look really unique

[balmy current]

I have asked the devs if they could change the mastery bonus to % void damage rather than % melee coid

[minor vigil]

ah ok i did some searching and it seems like they haven't looked at VK in a while so it might be getting adjustments

[balmy current]

I'm sure the VK will get "adjustments" at some point

[low prawn]

Is it better to go for +41% huge idol drop rate (given that I want huge idolds)? Or is 13% glyph drop rate better because they drop so much more often

[boreal cedar]

Is there no way in the loot filter to only show specific base types?

[balmy pulsar]

what lvl in the arena do you think is a good lvl to achieve for a lvl 60 spellblade?

im currently at lvl 50

arena that is

or wave 50 sorry

[vapid aspen]

If you're just doing arena to level up thats fairly good. If you're closer to fully geared its not the best

[void tapir]

when going for dual-disintegrate-triggered lightning blast, is it better to get shattershock and halo effect for aoe, or going into spark charges will get me more dmg?

[balmy current]

Transplant's minion damage node, does that apply to all existent minions at the time you use Transplant or does it give you x% increased minion damage for 4s (despite not updating the character screen)?

[vapid aspen]

Do the lich nodes for reduced health drain apply to plague bearer? (Unique staff with health drain and poison stuffs)

If yes, how strong overall is a poison focused lich build using the staff? From some quick number crunching it looks to be at least good enough to consider.

[upbeat finch]

Guys, after this new patch update, we'll have a reset?

[opal mesa]

Nope

next reset it 0.9 afaik

cause multiplayer

[abstract pecan]

there is no reset

[opal mesa]

Oh right, by reset I don't mean accounts are wiped, you have to make new characters if you want to do online shiznizzle

[void tapir]

been running that staff for a while now, it definitely is strong, i had no problems clearing pretty much everything, as for the nodes, im pretty sure they do apply, although it is hard to notice since i tend to run aura of decay for such a ridiculous amount of regen that pretty much no amount of degen (from passive tree or staff) matters. That degen affix seems to be more of a deterrent to those, who dont have access to aura of decay rather than something that Lich of all classes should worry about.

[vapid aspen]

Good to know, i was asking about the nodes more in terms of if I should lock myself in for lich to use the staff due to that extra synergy or if I should leave myself open for other classes

[void tapir]

uhhh i mean that staff is strong but its no headhunter. You dont build character around the staff, its just a good weapon option if you already plan on using the Lich. Theres also something to be said about desynergy considering Lich has couple of nodes requiring one-handed weapon and no shield... But Lich tree is so packed that you can pick other nodes and use the staff... So yeah, its just an option, not a build-defining unique.

[opal mesa]

eh?

[vapid aspen]

I treat every unique as build defining. I like to use them to give a direction since otherwise builds feel very generic

[void tapir]

sorry, pinged wrong person

[wild cypress]

Anyone else having massive problems with the loot filter system?

Whenever I open Shift+F I can't close it anymore and my whole game bugs out (Alt+F4 time) and my it can't detect any of my xml files so no filters show up

[cloud kindle]

Can you remove all your files then try again Shift+F? If it works, this would mean at least one file is corrupted

[wild cypress]

Oh that actually seems to solve the issue already

Now it says "no filter" instead of nothing and my game doesn't crash, thanks

[cloud kindle]

So you'll have to put the files one by one to see which one is corrupted

[balmy current]

0.9 won't be resetting anything, you'll still be able to use your existing characters offline as you always have.

[opal mesa]

Ah yeah, when I say reset I mean making new characters. Bad habit sorry

[restive jewel]

Hello , short question: is there already coop multiplayer in the game? Looking for a game for tonight

[wanton jasper]

nope

it will be this year though

[restive jewel]

Ty

[spare veldt]

Hi guys! Do you know what time the next patch will be out?

[wanton jasper]

You can find in the top of the patch preview the time for your zone

[spare veldt]

@wanton jasper Thanks.

[alpine wolf]

I haven't played in a while, did they remove glancing blows from items?

[quick thorn]

Yes. Endurance took its place. If you hover over your HP pool it explains how that works

[near moon]

Is it possible to configure the loot filter to look at the implicit stats of an item? I'm looking for item bases but only want ones with good implicit rolls and cant figure out how to filter for implicit stats

[vapid aspen]

Not yet afaik

[near moon]

Thanks. I thought as much but wanted to be sure I wasnt just missing it

[runic zealot]

Flame Ward has a skill Fire Aura that you can convert globally to cold. Does this also convert items that have affixes like 140% increased Fire Aura damage?

And the item I have also has 12% chance to cast Fire Aura on kill with Fire Skills, would that be converted too?

[balmy current]

Those % increased fire aura damage affixes are generic so they don't require a specific damage element.

[balmy current]

That's not converted no.

[runic zealot]

Thanks!

[quick thorn]

So yes and no there. The fire skills proccing it wont change but the Fire aura itself from the proc would change

So if you convert Fire aura to cold. With the Fire aura on kill with fire skills your Fireball would make a Cold Fire aura

[spare citrus]

What time will the patch release tomorrow? (With a timezone mention please)

[quick thorn]

1 day 02 hours 40 minutes 13 seconds

[spare citrus]

😮 thanks!

[balmy pulsar]

Hey guys just want to confirm a theory for another spellblade build I'm thinking of doing it involves the node on shatter blade that for each unique skill adds 25% kill threshold per unique skill used is it theoretically possible to insta kill a boss with this node if planned properly?

[quick thorn]

no.

The kill threshold is a flat HP amount that is on the skill. That % changes that number not a % of health

[balmy pulsar]

I thought the kill threshold was based off there total start health

[quick thorn]

Yeah the shatter strike Kill threshold is a flat number and its based on the mob being frozen as well. Its almost a non factor and is pretty worthless. When you are hitting for 50k killing a mob that is 100 health or less is just meh

[balmy pulsar]

Freezing them is the easy part I'll have to look at the node properly

I'll do that when I get on

Be about 3hrs before I get on though lok

[dry summit]

hello i am looking for a good sorc lootfilter ; i am lvl 60 now. can some1 help?

Go on the forum and search Heavy's loot filters

[versed granite]

Hey, ive got a couple of questions regarding bleed. If i have the stat that says "Puncture penetrates phys reduction", does that apply to the bleed it does too? And does generic Bow damage off the tree count as generic dmg (aka boosting the bleed)?

[vapid aspen]

Yes and yes unless it mentions hits

[versed granite]

Oh okay, thanks!

is an attack a hit always then? was thinking about Swift assasin/Lethal Cadence in marksman

[quick thorn]

Its either a hit or a DoT. Most everything is a hit

[versed granite]

aite

[crude hound]

Every time I try to read the patch notes I get a message saying I logged out after a few sec and have to come back to the page, is it just me?

[raw fern]

Nope, i've been logged out like 3 times already 🙂

[crude hound]

damn 😦

[raw fern]

Too much hype 🙂

[noble rose]

I just accepted it so currently reading through the notes with the ''you were logged out'' thing there still

[balmy pulsar]

right looking to start a new toon for patch day tomoz should i play Beastmaster, necromancer or forge guard focused around manifest armour and forge strike?

[thin canopy]

looking to play the zombie exploder myself

[spare citrus]

I did the same, yeah

[minor vigil]

is the game not logging in unless it's run in admin mode a known issue or should i contact support about that

If you read the notes in a Incognito browser you will not be logged out anymore

Hi, community. Haven't been playing LE for several months. Am I right that sentinel's shield rush/mana memory/rush of sacrifice bug is still not fixed in 0.8.2? 😢

[urban arrow]

I'm about to go on deployment and this looks perfect for long term playability. My only question is can you log into and play this with zero internet connection? I know I can with Grim Dawn but i would like to play both.

[cloud kindle]

You need at least to be connected at the moment you log in. You don't need to stay connected after.

[urban arrow]

well that kinda defeats the point of offline play. damn that sucks i woulda love to play this on deployment.

[cloud kindle]

Ask in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs because I may be wrong, for this it would be better to have a dev answer

[urban arrow]

sounds good thanks!

[cloud kindle]

I have a problem I did not have before. When I cast Entangling Roots for the first time, the game freezes for about maybe 20 seconds. Then all works fine again, all followings casts of Entangling Roots are with no freeze or lag. Is this a known issue?

[balmy pulsar]

Do you think tempest strike (focused towards lightning) crows and storm totem shaman would be viable?

[balmy current]

The need to log in is only for the current implementation. When they release multiplayer there will be a proper offline mode

[wanton flame]

hello guys, i'm newbie trying to figure out the game.
Can poison leech?
I use hungering souls and specialize in poison damage, will leech work with spell damage leeched as health?

[cloud kindle]

If it's "leech on hit" no, because poison is DoT and DoTs don't leech. If iy's global leech, yes

[sacred kindle]

just start the launcher

Hi, had anyone fixed minimap not rendering correctly on linux? I hoped that new patch will fix this issue but nope... All solutions on forum also are not working for me

[spare citrus]

So I am confused with the blessings. Can you swap between blessings now considering that it shows undiscovered and discovered blessings?

[bitter yarrow]

you guys also cant login ? i dont have a button for login in -.-

[crude urchin]

Did you complete your update, Riq?

[bitter yarrow]

yep ^^

also reisntaleld

reinstalled

[fossil gate]

I'm stuck in the scene

Reinstallation, repair, etc., but it didn't work.

[balmy current]

Is LE having internet connection issues? Try disabling your firewall

[charred forge]

i have the same problem .... i played before the patch

[balmy current]

Yes, but does the firewall think that the new version is a different thing & is blocking it?

[surreal quartz]

Is this supposed to be low res?

[balmy current]

No, it's not for me

[surreal quartz]

huh thanks.

[fossil gate]

Before the update, I can play normally. After update I can't enter the game

[charred forge]

It's a node for wolves, so I'd say yes

[hidden tusk]

has anyone had any issues with their equipped items disappearing? I haven't clicked off my gear or even into my inventory once and my main hand is gone now

[pale umbra]

some items will go to either inventory or on the ground at the time you open inventory. These are due to changes, example the eye of reen unique now is level 70

[nocturne sage]

Standalone client - isn't this supposed to load the login form? This is a fresh install on a new comp right after 0.8.2 I'd been planning to use for testing 🤔 any app logs I can dive into or suggestions other than using Steam (downloading that now here in the meantime)?

[compact canyon]

@marble geysertyvm, I was sceptical about the reboot but it fixes everything. Game runs and looks better than ever for me. Have a nice day!

Steam is a known workaround. If you reach out to support they can give you any updates: http://support.lastepoch.com/contact

I dont see these affixes in the loot filter, are they craft only?

All the guides im following have out of date info on that kind of stuff

[balmy current]

no

and won't be till after multiplayer is released (at best)

[vapid aspen]

[strong dune]

Do y’all recommend any settings that improve qol ?

[flint abyss]

weird question but do minions get intelligence stats?
Blood Golem can cast Rip Blood, Rip Blood can have more healing per points of int
it probably only works for the player right?

[remote gyro]

probably stupid question but is there a faster way to get the shatter runes?

[balmy current]

No

[balmy elk]

How many times do you have to do "Discover the remaining branches of 'x' " ?

[candid valve]

Which class is best for minions?

[balmy elk]

ive done it 3 times for the same area and its asking me to do it again

[balmy current]

There are either 1 or 2 timelines for each monolith. At some point in the monolith with 2 timelines you will be given a choice, you need to choose the "other" one.

For example, in the blood frost & death mono, you have to choose between saving one of the two clans

In Fall of the Outcast you choose after killing the Abomination whether to go to the past (lvl 60) or future (lvl 65).

[balmy elk]

So I need to choose the other clan next time?

[balmy current]

yes

[balmy elk]

Okay thanks. Was wondering why I was doing it 3 times xD

[balmy current]

And in the Ending the Storm monolith you choose in the second quest echo to either fight Liath (lvl 85) or not (lvl 80).

[glad maple]

is it me or its longer to grind monolith ? before it was around 30 echo now its 50

[urban horizon]

It takes longer if you don't rush to high depths

So if you only go north and don't kill shades then it isn't longer

[balmy current]

Until you have to backtrack 'cause you get fenced off by shades.

[hard oriole]

What build would be the easiest for someone who doesn't have much experience yet in the game?

@knotty hinge thank you

[left sentinel]

Is the game going to be 35 or 15 on relase

[marble geyser]

$35. We had previously announced plans to have a $15 price on release, but we decided to maintain our current price some time ago as the game's quality has improved.

Buying the game during early access does get you exclusive cosmetics and other rewards though, as mentioned on Steam.

[fierce kraken]

it is also on sale right now 😁

[left sentinel]

How much says 35

[fierce kraken]

20% off

so $28

[scenic schooner]

If you're looking for it I'm pretty sure it's only on sale on Nexus.gg, I used Vulkan's nexus store but you can use any creator who has LE on their store. You get a steam key

[prisma sleet]

how does the vk devouring orb work? wondering if it could fit in my build but dont understand it's mechanics yet

[opal mesa]

So the orb itself orbits you and does damage to enemies it passes through

Enemies that die near an orb

will explode basically

dealing void damage to nearby enemies

[prisma sleet]

not at base

it just sits on the ground

[opal mesa]

oh right my bad

same thing though

so if an enemy dies near the orb

the enemy will explode with aoe

[prisma sleet]

sitting here looking through it's tree and i might end up making it orbit and buff me

[opal mesa]

Yeah I went south and north east with it

Abyssal Emission is fucking good

[ashen anvil]

it makes too many damage numbers and hurts my FPS is what it does lol

[bleak bramble]

Block effectiveness or life on block? For necromancer with no skill tree points invested in block.

[drifting valley]

Do you guys know if Soulfire converts Hungering Souls before or after passives/gear/idols? I tried by switching my +necro idols to +fire and i got mixed results on the dps tooltip. I think this could be an interesting unique for a build but just trying to figure out what it needs from gear/passives. Thanks for any info

[fierce kraken]

all conversion happens before increased/more multipliers

so you would need increased fire damage if converting to fire

[drifting valley]

@fierce kraken thank you. That is what i assumed but i was confused when the tooltip dps showed higher when i had some of the +necro idols in.

[fierce kraken]

if they were flat damage that goes a long way, flat damage is almost always king

i havent been able to find a new weapon since like level 10 and my damage is starting to fall off pretty hard

[knotty hinge]

if you're really desperate the shop resets each time you log in so you could fish for it.

Though I wouldn't recommend spending too much time doing that. Should be able to find a better base soon and craft a bit on it.

[nocturne sage]

what happens to xp when you hit max level?

[merry aspen]

it goes to exp heaven

[fierce kraken]

just find flat damage prefixes, the higher the better, type doesnt matter too early because all your increased usually comes as generic inc dmg

[merry aspen]

does global spell damage also increase damage for spells that have the minion spell tag?

[balmy current]

No

Minions are only affected by minion stats (unless specified such as Manifest Armour & some nodes on Ballista)

[merry aspen]

😦

[arctic fog]

Hey so, question. If I use volatile zombie and pick up the marrow shard on death node, will that marrow shard scale with a specialized marrow shard I have?

[lost void]

anyone else having this issue with steam after exiting from the game and try to open it again?

[fierce kraken]

yes

you are the one casting it

[arctic fog]

That's nice, how does fire damage scaling work with volatile zombie if id wanna try a fire dmg necro with infernal shade cast on death of the volatiles for example? thought it sounded neat cuz the explosion is fire dmg. IS there such a thing as a minion fire dmg stat or how does that scale?

apologies never done a minion build before and volatile zombie is really neato to me so wanted to try

[balmy current]

you'll need minion damage for the zombies & player damage for infernal shade

[arctic fog]

well that sucks :/

[balmy current]

the two types (minion/player damage) don't interact

Zombies do a lot of damage though & you can spec infernal shade for fire shred

[arctic fog]

So i guess ud scale massive int then?

[raw fern]

Try this: https://support.lastepoch.com/article/128-an-error-occurred-while-updating-last-epoch

[arctic fog]

or idk if int scaling is good enough

[balmy current]

yup & minion hp & minion damage

[arctic fog]

would minion hp be necessary if im going for leap slammer?

[balmy current]

The Necromantic Fervour/Vital Ward nodes generate massive amounts of ward

[arctic fog]

hmm im too low level to try all this stuff, ill probably go through a million iterations xd

but i dont wanna completely respec my lich

wait u cant even right? if i chose lich its locked right?

cant go necro then ye?

[balmy current]

You'll want to roll a necro in that case

[arctic fog]

yeye im working on it already :P

[fierce kraken]

i went necro zombie and wish i went lich to do sacrifice but that just might be "grass is greener on the other side"

[balmy current]

Sacrifice is unnecessary

since they explode of their own volition

IMO, it's the wierder node on that tree

[arctic fog]

so, question regarding the shepherd of thralls node, would it scale with + to summon skeletons? like, would it spawn two if i had plus one in the tree or elsewhere?

or is it just 1

[last glen]

Hey just curious, who moderates the subreddit / who should I ask about it?

[balmy current]

no, I believe a Skellie Vanguard is a different mob to the ones you get from Summon Skellies. It's the same one you get from Bone Curse.

[arctic fog]

oh it is? sadge

[balmy current]

They're all devs with the possible exceptions of TDGdev & ekimarcher

[arctic fog]

actually it says summon skeleton warrior on death, which is the exact same name as in the summon skelly tree

[last glen]

yah that's a long list, feel like I shouldn't just DM a random person of that list

[arctic fog]

but then its vanguard when u look at the skill....

[balmy current]

All the ones I recognise are devs

[arctic fog]

confuses me rn

[balmy current]

Yeah, not sure TBH

[arctic fog]

ill have to test

nothing i havent done before :P

i think im leaning towards phys scaling with marrow shards and the skelly warrior node rn, will see where it goes.

thx for the help anyways :)

[abstract pecan]

Ure joking u dunno mike’s handle on Reddit right? 😛

[fierce kraken]

ekimarcher = mike archer?

[indigo cape]

After updating to 0.8.2 on the steam edition i cannot open up the game. I get the Last Epoch Splash screen then nothing. The cursor shows the busy animation. If click or press any key i get windows prompt saying that Last Epoch.exe is nor responding with options to close the app or wait. If I wait nothing happens further. I have verified my game files and still nothing. I have restarted my laptop as well to no avail. Does anyone here have some suggestions for me to try to get the game to work again. Thanks.

[west ice]

do the nodes in holy aura only give half their bonus unless activated? for example I just tested with the purification node that gives 20% poison resist, it's actually only 10% unless holy aura is activated, so I'm wondering if this is true for all nodes
edit: nvm, I see now that this node is new so probably just unclear tooltip

[arctic fog]

hey, do bone splinters and splintering impact stack so u get two instances of bone splinters?

[static matrix]

How does conversion work

for example, if I'm using volcanic orb converted to cold, and i get increased fire damage, does it do anything?

[cloud kindle]

your orb is cold, so it needs increased cold damage

see the tags of the skill, they will tell you

[static matrix]

o

ok

i didn't know because in poe fire damage scales then once converted to cold cold scales

[arctic fog]

So I just noticed that there are no interesting prefixes for a minion build on the weapon. What do ppl usually do there? is there a specific weapon type that makes it work? or maybe a unique?

or is there a way to convert the weapons mods into working for minions?

[cloud kindle]

There are several weapons and weapon types that have minions affixes. You also can put minions affixes on relics, belts, or rings, for example.

[arctic fog]

oh im aware, its specifically about the weapon prefixes. weapons have good minion suffixes like minion phys dmg for example. but for prefixes cant find anything

[static matrix]

are attributes prefix?

if so could grab attunement there

[arctic fog]

not on the weapon im pretty sure. i would like to get int if i could

[static matrix]

Well then I have no idea srry

[arctic fog]

no worries, the suffixes can scale really hard so thats interesting but i really dont know what to do for prefixes

[urban horizon]

All attributes is a suffix (its only for two-handed axe/blunt/polearm/sword) and things like int, str etc on other slots are prefix

[cloud heron]

Does anyone know if velocity is bugged on shift to not work?

[uncut radish]

If you are running monoliths and pick a node that is rare of a certain item type, for example Rare Relics or Rare Shields etc, do those have a chance to drop as uniques the way normal drops do? I am trying to farm some specific rare daggers and wondering whether it is beneficial at all to try and target rare dagger nodes or whether they are guaranteed to be only rare

[fallen radish]

So in the volatile Zombie tree, the node "shepherd of thralls" says when a zombie dies "it creates" a skeleton vanguard
those skeletons do not benefit from my skeleton specc correct?

[static matrix]

I'm curious about that too now cirian

also exalted items

[main ingot]

Does anybody know if the Volatile Zombie vomit nodes tags scale with minion affixes, non minion, or both? Because when you Alt; on it, it just says "scaling tags".

[fallen radish]

@main ingot its the minions using the vomit so the scaling tags on the vomit have to apply to minions to scale their skills

so take the scaling tags, add "minion" before those and thats what youre looking for

[hexed torrent]

I feel like I'm missing something. Aren't there a ton less passive nodes on the new horizontal UI?

[fierce kraken]

Nope they are the same

[hexed torrent]

The old passive tree had lots of skills I couldn't talent into because I needed more levels. The new one I can talent into everything, barring link prerequisites

Does it like... zoom out? Or scroll in some way I haven't figured out?

[fierce kraken]

They are exactly the same, just rotated 90°

[quick thorn]

There is now a giant bar in the middle. You can not go right of that bar for the classes you are not mastered in. So those skills will still be off limits

[arctic fog]

Question regarding the summon wraith health decay. Does minion health or wraith max health make them live longer at all?

or is it a fixed decay amount?

[crimson anchor]

Is there a RF-like build in LE? i last played AAGES ago

[fierce kraken]

Decay is an accelerating amount

[wanton jasper]

fire aura the one I can think about

[fierce kraken]

So it helps but looses effectiveness somewhat quickly.

[hexed torrent]

I see a line on the right side of my passive UI. The bar at the bottom is fully filled in. You're saying more nodes will appear on the right as I fill out the tree? (This is my mastery class)

[quick thorn]

No your mastery class if it is filled you have all the skills

[fierce kraken]

For wraiths prioritize minion hp regen. Then hp

[west ice]

you need to select your mastery on the left

[dark fox]

Aura of Decay on the Lich is similar: you poison yourself and enemies around you. It's lethal though, but you can use Drain Life to counteract it

[crimson anchor]

is it like end-game viable? @dark fox

[dark fox]

IIRC it is. I'm leveling with it atm and it's really smooth. Doesn't come up as often as other skills in the endgame builds discussion though.

[fierce kraken]

The damage on pure AoD is hard to scale but if you tack transplant explosions and transplant procing rip blood it goes through the roof and is super safe.

[pearl oriole]

Is it normal that my character has dropped off of the leaderboard entirely when it should be there?

[crimson anchor]

So out of like a 10, how good would it be?

[fierce kraken]

Defense 9/10 DMG 7/10

Speed 10/10

You get 2 movement abilities so it's super zoom zoom for LE standards

[crimson anchor]

oo

[wooden nimbus]

Any reason why my launcher doens't have a login prompt or anything?

[crimson anchor]

you have my attention 🤨

[wooden nimbus]

Just redownloaded the game after a few months of not playing

have the early access code.

[crimson anchor]

is there a tree or anythign i can follow? been a while

[fierce kraken]

I don't have anything rn, but i mostly follow LE builds/le apprentice guide for poison lich

[gleaming panther]

is there a collection of noob friendly lootfilters? looking for an acolyte summoner one

[wanton jasper]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/0-8-2-heavyz-casual-loot-filters-for-all-classes-v2-1/25176

[gleaming panther]

thank you

[warm plinth]

Hi! I have a very low perf on LE but it's new. How can I repair the file on the Standalone Client ?

[rotund thunder]

Good afternoon I have a gaming budy who can only play games with 1 hand. He owns a razer naga. Anyone know if Last epoch would be possible for him?

[balmy pulsar]

erm is there a relic that boosts minions spell damage? for primalist

[fierce kraken]

How many buttons is that? I know there was someone giving feedback on only using mouse and there are plans for more accessibility in the future.

[minor vigil]

looks like an mmo mouse so that's more than enough

most of my binds are on my regular mouse

[rotund thunder]

its the razer naga mmo mouse

I believe the thumb buttons has like 12?

[fierce kraken]

That should be plenty. You only need 5 skills plus potion and left click in combat.

[balmy current]

Apparently not

[abstract pecan]

TDG is an exDev as well. I think he went to blizzcon with LE shirt one year?

[junior narwhal]

hi does anyone know if 'low health' status applies in reaper form?

[balmy current]

only if you have less than 35% hp

[junior narwhal]

but in reaper form?

it has a new hp ball

[balmy current]

yes

[junior narwhal]

oh that's OP then

[balmy current]

and you need to have less than 35% of that

[junior narwhal]

thanks

I'm always low in reaper form

I have to pump it up with rip blood

[balmy current]

leech more

[wispy vine]

does anyone know of a way to reduce the chill duration that is applied by will of the living boots to where i will only receive either 1 stack(lowering 4s chill duration to 3s) or a way to become chill immune? im attempting to make a build that relies on high cast speed low life

[junior narwhal]

my leech sucks I keep switching out for res and hardly ever find new items

[balmy current]

nope

[junior narwhal]

I mean is it normal to have under 50% res on almost everything at level 48?

[wispy vine]

yea i dont think its possible is it

[balmy current]

that's why those boots have such a large move speed buff

[junior narwhal]

I don't wanna burn crafting mats on yellows

[wispy vine]

its the cast speed hit that gets me

-36 cast speed as fireball with burst etc.

[balmy current]

That's not too bad.

[junior narwhal]

ok. only maxed out poison resist cuz... aura

gonna try this OP idol then

is rip blood considered a healing skill or a leech?

wondering if healing effectiveness will help

[balmy current]

It's probably life gain, so neither & no.

[marsh cargo]

Is there a high contrast pointer? (like the new update in PoE)... it would make it easier to see sometimes
Or maybe i'm blind and there's already an option?

[balmy current]

Nope

other than using Yolomouse

[marsh cargo]

ah ok, thanks

[junior narwhal]

where can I find an explanation of 'attunement' for this game?

[balmy current]

it's a stat, it gives +mana & buffs skills that have the attunement tag

you can also hover over it in the character screen

[nocturne sage]

i was confused first time I saw an item with Attunement too - thought it was some fancy mechanic i'd been missing out on heh

[balmy current]

no, it's the same as str, int, etc

[junior narwhal]

how do I see the cast time on skills? I want to see how much cooldown reduction I need

[balmy current]

just for Sentinel/Primalist spells

[junior narwhal]

transplant is not instant and i want it to be

[balmy current]

cooldown reduction only works on a skill with cooldown

cast speed is affected by... cast speed...

[junior narwhal]

oh of course silly me

in that case I meant my cast speed vs time to cast skill

[balmy current]

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

click on the skill & hover over the skill & hold alt

[junior narwhal]

I have a lot of cast speed and go oom a lot so I was hoping I could get fast transplants but it's janky

I did

it does not tell me the cast time

[balmy current]

if a skill has a cooldown, it's cast time is largely irrelevant

[junior narwhal]

it's relevant

when I'm trying to use a movement skill I don't want a delay

if it was instant cast it would have an instant cast tag

I am irked that sometimes I press the skill and it does nothing

[balmy current]

yes, but none of the movement skills have the instant tag

[junior narwhal]

then either the tag is missing or it's not instant

perhaps 0.25, but it matters

so anyway, you don't know of a way to uncover the proper details of a skill? Thanks for your help in any case, I still learn something else :)

[balmy current]

that would be the link I posted

[junior narwhal]

oh brilliant thank you

so it's 0.4s that's very long

so I have to use the planner for better details... good to know

[balmy current]

which skill?

[junior narwhal]

transplant

[narrow moat]

Hey everyone, just bought the game today. I have had 2 crashes in the last hour after I used the rogue skill "Shift". Is this just the state of the game, or is there any settings that impact it? Playing on ultra, 1440p, 1080ti, 70+ fps

[balmy current]

the 0.4s is for the explosions

[junior narwhal]

gonna put my cast speed in now

[balmy current]

the cast time for Transplant is 0.05s

[junior narwhal]

yes I read wrong. again.

so what is cast delay?

[balmy current]

not entirely sure tbh

[junior narwhal]

cuz 0.8 is a long time

must be time between triggering the skill, and the skill taking effect?

gonna look at other movement skills

[balmy current]

I would assume that the cast time + cast delay is related to either the entire animation from when you click the button to when you can then do something else

I think the 0.05 + 0.8s is it's full animation or something, not entirely sure

but that made sense for a different skill I was looking at

[junior narwhal]

hmm fury leap is 0.4 cast speed and 0.75 delay

teleport 0.2 and 0.75

so actually transplant is quicker

[balmy current]

yup

[junior narwhal]

to cast I mean

[keen grove]

what should I do with duplicate Uniques? Shatter them? Sell them? Something else?

[junior narwhal]

and yet it feels like it ignores my keypress... possibly a previous animation hasn't finished

I want cancel casting :(

no idea mondo there should be something tho, if there isn't

[sonic kraken]

Hey is there any demo/trial of the game? It looks pretty fun but the price is pretty high and I would be pretty bummed out if it turned out to be a waste.

[junior narwhal]

just checked, 50% increased cast speed doesn't change the speed of casting transplant, according to the planner. I don't know if the planner is wrong though

there's no demo as yet perhaps when it's released

what was your last arpg?

[sonic kraken]

So I need to just blindly buy?

[junior narwhal]

yeah I agree

[sonic kraken]

I played Path of Exile a lot

[junior narwhal]

me too

[balmy current]

watch some videos

[junior narwhal]

lots of poe players here

it's easier than poe

[balmy current]

see if someone's willing to go on discord & stream some for you perhaps

[sonic kraken]

Been looking for something similar because PoE is kind of static at this moment.

[junior narwhal]

this is a new game with basic content

[sonic kraken]

I've watched a couple of gameplays but you know how it is. You can't tell if you like a game if you don't try yourself

[balmy current]

get it on steam & try it for 2hours

[junior narwhal]

then make a post on their forum asking ex poe players what they think

[heavy oasis]

the link to my builds lastepochtools doesnt work anymore

it just says please wait

[junior narwhal]

I like it because it's as fast as you want it to be, and not dictated by monster speed or pack size

[heavy oasis]

is there any known fix?

[junior narwhal]

crafting is easier

and mechanics are easier to deal with

[sonic kraken]

I did plan to get it on steam but not sure if steam would give a refund back to my bank account

[junior narwhal]

but because it's new, the loot is boring unless it's top gear

[balmy current]

best ask @bronze ocean

[junior narwhal]

there are reviews everywhere

read some

it's not a polished game so if you rage easily, it's not for you

[sonic kraken]

Also I see it needs a 3rd party account. What's up with that?

[junior narwhal]

huh?

[sonic kraken]

Nah I have quite a lot of patience when it comes to games hah.

"Requires 3rd-Party Account: Last Epoch (Supports Linking to Steam Account)"

[junior narwhal]

that surely just means you need to make an account with LE... err... forgot the dev team

[balmy current]

EHG

[sonic kraken]

I played PoE a lot so I'm also used to getting randomly oneshot lol

[junior narwhal]

you won't get one shot here

[balmy current]

You can totally get oneshot

[junior narwhal]

well I guess if you have no res and go poke a bad boss

[balmy current]

if you don't move out of the telegraphs of some of the end bosses

[junior narwhal]

oh good looking forward to that

[balmy current]

I'm thinking Lagon's sweeping eye beam

[junior narwhal]

so there's some tactical bosses then good good

[balmy current]

and Rahyeh's big attacks hurt

and the Dragon Emperor's big AoE is intended to oneshot you

but you'e got enough time to run out of it

[sonic kraken]

Alright so assuming i'd get the game and actually play it all the way to endgame. Is there anything interesting to do in endgame?

I've heared that there was a big endgame patch recently

[junior narwhal]

not really.. as yet... think D3 and greater rifts

and an arena

same as grim dawn

[balmy current]

a cross between rifts & the synthesis web thing

[junior narwhal]

ahh yeah 'echoes'

[balmy current]

the islands are maps

and have specific rewards & stacking modifiers

[sonic kraken]

Hmmm so is the grind fun at least?

[distant sable]

Endgame is not quite perfect, but you can easily spend 40-50 hours ingame before it gets boring

[balmy current]

that have a duration

[junior narwhal]

I've not got that far yet

[balmy current]

I have nearly 1.8k hours in it.

[junior narwhal]

is 40 hours worth 30 bucks

(I'm happy with it and wanted to support anyway)

[distant sable]

Movie tickets cost like 10 EUR and last for 1 hour :F

[junior narwhal]

I love when players make games, I just get sad when the communication drops off

[balmy current]

the devs do communicate a lot with us

[junior narwhal]

need a better comparison than that I last went to the movies years ago

[sonic kraken]

Alright i'll give the game a shot on steam then. Worst case scenario i'll just refund

[junior narwhal]

good luck getting it to start :P

[keen grove]

you wont need to

its fun

[junior narwhal]

jk!!!

if anything, LE forced me to reinstall windows which was a good thing tbh it's been a long time

I think you'll like it

even in it's basic form it's much more chill than poe which I like. poe just got too fast

but poe also gave us shorter cast time on movement skills ><

[sonic kraken]

I'm gonna try to run it on Linux first since it says that it's native lol and on protondb people seem to not complain about it too much

Oh one more thing i've heared that multiplayer and trading will be implemented soon. Are the devs also going to stick on the stupid idea of doing everything manually like in poe or will there be some trading hub / auction house?

[distant sable]

There will be some kind of marketplace, but Idk how it will work

[sonic kraken]

Phew. I don't want to become a market analyzer as a second job like in poe lol

[distant sable]

We'll see how it goes, I'm fairly positive about this game and the devs response to feedback

[sonic kraken]

Oh and since the game already has upfront cost I'm assuming there is no shady business going on with stash space?

[supple wren]

As of right now. Maybe if the game runs with free updates for ten years that might change.

You buy stash tab with ingame gold.

[lime gust]

have any of you had any success with 2h swords and blunts since the rework? are they noticeably stronger? or comparable to dual wielding

[sonic kraken]

Buying stash space with ingame gold is completely fine. I just don't wanna get baited by the "you can play without buying stash space" line that people in poe like to say

[noble rose]

They've gone on record saying the only things you'll buy with real money is vanity items and possibly if they decide to make big expansions in the future

[woeful orbit]

hey I need some help understanding where to find Bhuldar can anyone explain where to find him ? I know hes somewhere in Spires of fire but where?

[noble rose]

It's a possible drop from the boss at the end of the quest line

The most common one AFAIK

[cloud kindle]

You need to fight the final boss of this timeline

[woeful orbit]

oh so he drops it 100%?

[cloud kindle]

No, it's more around 85% I'd say

[sonic kraken]

Alright so i've just ran the game. What class do you guys recommend to start with?

[woeful orbit]

ok so if it does not drop how do I farm it again?

[cloud kindle]

All can have a good start, it depends on what you like to play. Necromancer, Beastmaster, Paladin or Sorcerer are among the easiest

[sonic kraken]

Is this like a scripted drop or I'm just extremely lucky lol

Also the game seems a little blurry despite that i've set it on max resolution possible. Is there something I can do about it?

[late nebula]

It feels a little blurry to me after yesterday's patch too

[balmy current]

Nope, that's in-game gold.

[minor vigil]

im dumb is there an easier way to stash stuff on controller than just dragging it

[strong dune]

Is there a website for builds?

I had trouble finding one

[marsh maple]

@strong dune theres no specific websites, but if you need anything specific I have a lot of build guides in my catalog on my YT channel, if your just looking for something random

[balmy pulsar]

May sound like an obvious question does storm totem count as a minion?

[toxic canyon]

look at the skills tags

[strong dune]

Thank you 🙏

[sinful kite]

Trident of the Last Abyss. Anyone know the drop rate of this item?

Did Harton's Husk 3 times with no luck. The shield dropped 3 times XD

[fierce kraken]

14% in empowered timelines

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/itemsets

[strong dune]

What’s your YouTube? It’s not linked to your discord

[marsh maple]

https://youtu.be/31L0kGPSm4c @strong dune

[signal spindle]

when it comes to blessings what does it mean by 'increased ring "shard" drop rate'

[strong dune]

Might want to update your twitch on your discord as well. Could help you gain followers and people will see when you’re live on discord

[marsh maple]

Yeah I gotta work on that

[sinful kite]

Thanks!

[warm plinth]

Hi! Where I can find a good base loot filter (like Neversink) but for LE ?

[fierce kraken]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/0-8-2-heavyz-casual-loot-filters-for-all-classes-v2-1/25176

[clever junco]

can you play on steam and other platform if you buy those supporter pack for playing the game ?

[fringe sail]

I know people have probably been asking this a lot but I have an old character with most of my idol slots locked and no active quests

the only quest I have is "The Monolith of Fate"

Not sure how to get the rest of my idol slots unlocked

[neat creek]

I would go through every town and try to find any quests

[fringe sail]

Ah I found some quests in locations I haven't been, but there doesn't seem to be any indications on the map that there are quests there

[static matrix]

can i dual wield these for the set bonus

or do i need 2 different

[flint abyss]

@static matrix need different ones. I'm having 2 invoker fire rings and they don't count as 2 of set bonus

[static matrix]

ok ty

I couldn't test it due to not being high enough lvl

[fierce kraken]

you get the same thing no matter where you buy. steam can use the standalone client and vice versa

both also get the same initial pack

[oblique magnet]

Is there any store that has a discount/sale on for this right now?

[fierce kraken]

yea, steam should or nexus if you want to support your favorite content creator

i think the site should have a sale too but idk.

[oblique magnet]

I'll have a sus when I get home thanks 😁

[arctic fog]

hey, whats the general consensus on the best way to run summon skeleton? rogues or archers? im assuming warriors are soso?

[fierce kraken]

archers if you just want to summon then forget

rogues i think would be for poison minions

only ever tried archers

[stiff notch]

Guys how can I show my fps in game? nvidia geforce won't show me it. (standalone client)

[fierce kraken]

try f11

[stiff notch]

ty I found it. It was set to F1 🤔 instead of F11

[fierce kraken]

i rebound my function keys so that might be why

[arctic fog]

also wondering how bad are bone golems on a scale of 1-10? xd

[gleaming panther]

Hi, is it normal that trying to patch the standalone is making me redownload the whole game? (had the blank login before)

[fierce kraken]

golems are pretty great, they can serve as the meat shield with the threat node

[arctic fog]

How does crit chance even work? whats the calc? I have 76% inc crit from gear, 150% inc from passives. 5 times 1.76=8.8 5 times 2.5=12.5 so thats supposedly 21.3% but my character sheet says 16%? confused

i assumed it was just take ur base crit and multiply it with the increase?

[fallen radish]

is one of those maybe conditional? then it wouldnt show on your sheet if the condition isnt met yet

[arctic fog]

This is for minion which might be of note but it doesnt say that the calc differs in the tooltip so i dont think so? the three crit things I have are two nodes on the passive tree that give 100% minion crit and 50% minion crit respectively. And then a helmet with t5 crit/minion crit of 76%

those dont seem conditional to me?

[fallen radish]

dont seem conditional to me either, then i dont know. my math also arrives at 21.3% crit chance

[fierce kraken]

increase crit chance (does not equal) =/= crit chance

[arctic fog]

Im aware? Didn't I take that into account?

[fierce kraken]

no, i need to read before responding

[arctic fog]

xd

Trying to figure out what chest mod is best for my second prefix

and this game math is fuckin me xd

im considering between minion crit and +1 total skeles (not level)

im pretty sure its minion crit but I wanna know for sure....

[fierce kraken]

you added 5 twice

[arctic fog]

ah

lol

[fierce kraken]

you need to take the sum of increased +1

[arctic fog]

I mean its the sum of increased -5 right?

[fallen radish]

nah i still arrive at 21.3

[arctic fog]

except for the first time

[fallen radish]

with 5*(1.76+2.5)

which only has one 5 in it

which is the same math maybee did

[arctic fog]

i mean its not 2.5 its 1.5

so ye....

[fallen radish]

150% increased

is 2.5 multi

[arctic fog]

im getting confused

[fallen radish]

unless you stated your increases wrong

[arctic fog]

no i have the increases right

[fallen radish]

100% increased crit chance

is a 2 multi right

[arctic fog]

yes but that adds 5%

total

[fallen radish]

so 150% increase

is 2.5

and your 76% increase is 1.76

your math seems correct to me and my math arrived also at 21.3

[arctic fog]

ok so the math is wrong this is how it is: 5 + (5x0.76) + (5x1.5)

16.3

game is right

xd

we're just bad at math

[fallen radish]

so the game calcs it as 5*(1+0.75+1.5)

that seems weird

[arctic fog]

no it isnt cause the previous added the base 5 multiple times

you increase 76% of 5

which is 5*0.76

and add that

to the previous total

repeat for every instance

[fallen radish]

5+50.76 is the same as 51.76

5+5*0.76

5*1.76

its the same number

8.8

[arctic fog]

yes but not the same as 5+5*0.76+5+5x1.5

u add an extra 5

its 5+5x0.76+5x1.5

[fallen radish]

ye you right

i added the +1 twice

[arctic fog]

x)'

[fallen radish]

dude i just took a break to play LE from my university work so my brain is fried

[arctic fog]

hahaha same

[fallen radish]

then we both should just trust the game

[arctic fog]

indeed

[fallen radish]

and not question anything

[arctic fog]

problem is it doesnt show calc for skele archer crit

D:

so have to do it myself

[arctic fog]

which of the skeleton mages has the best aoe? the cryomancer or pyromancer?

pyro right? xd

[fierce kraken]

imo there are about the same

[arctic fog]

oh?

[fierce kraken]

both just shoot projectiles

[arctic fog]

oh eh

are they better dmg than regular ones?

[fierce kraken]

need the extra proj node

[arctic fog]

if the dmg type doesnt matter what do i go for?

[fierce kraken]

i dont know

[arctic fog]

cryo for chill seems nice?

[fierce kraken]

thats what i would say

[arctic fog]

heh, im never getting to lvl 20 skills

im just respeccing all the time to try stuff

xd

[fierce kraken]

lvl 20 skills is basically character level dependent, it really doesn't make a difference if you respec

[arctic fog]

ye im aware but id have had em 20 considering the one i didnt respec and got last is lvl 19 and a half

im not really worried at all obv im still low lvl

[noble rose]

Is it a known issue crashing on trying to start echos after the first one every timeline? (worked fine before the hotfixes)

[sonic kraken]

Is there a limit on how many characters I can have made at the same time?

[noble rose]

Not currently cause it's all offline, prob will be one in the future

[sonic kraken]

Well you do need to login to your account first but if it's all client-side I see no reason to change it

[noble rose]

Yeah, but with multiplayer and such in the future

[sonic kraken]

I guess it would need some re-factoring but no need to keep everything in the server for no reason. It's technically a single player game at heart

[wooden cedar]

Hello everyone. I have a question. Before the patch I had all idol slots available. After this patch, I have a few slots locked. How to unlock them now ??

[clever junco]

I didn't played since they changed the Tab chest, i lost everything but 1 tab

Is there a way to fix the lost items from others tab or ?

[fierce kraken]

check your quests, should be 1 or 2 quests to unlock them. i checked my previous character that one had them all unlocked

[fierce kraken]

there hasn't been an item wipe in while (not since i started playing last year). if you deleted your local save file with steam cloud backups that might be your issue

or if you moved your save data

[muted cipher]

Do higher echoes massively scale down player damage or something? I just entered monliths with my main and was window shopping for an alt

and I found the damage displayed for most recommended builds were similar levels of damage per hit and maybe cast just a tiny bit faster

and my gear on this char is super unoptimized so I'm sitting here going "This can't be right"

[low root]

Enemies get higher damage reduction with levels

[muted cipher]

that's what I kind of suspected, doing 75 monos right now and was seeing 2-3k 2-3 times a second and was going "That's pretty similar to build creators I see, there has to be something I'm not getting because holy fuck my gear sucks"

[clever junco]

The storage changed and i only have 1 tab when i re-installed the game with full items in it. i remmeber having more than 1 tab.

I didn,t touch any save file

[muted cipher]

Steam cloud has been weird last 24 hours, I lost 4-5 levels earlier this morning because steam cloud

[clever junco]

I can't wait online server side save

[thin canopy]

oh oh hope my thingies are still oke .. i know i got the new patch yesterday ,. but its repatching

[old stream]

How does xp income scale with level difference between character and monster?

[versed willow]

enemy level is higher?

more xp

simple

[old stream]

Most games have an xp penalty if you are say 5 levels away from the mob level, and this penalty grows as the level gap grows

[dusty dust]

iirc by killing mobs as lvl 70 in lvl 90 zone you get more xp than 70 in 70 but not as much as 90 in 90

[woeful swift]

so am i missing something with the new pick up item on xbox controller i can change item with up and down and i see the A but nothing happens when i press A just a normal attack

[hollow vale]

Is it possible to craft a good item from a white item like Poe before it fractures or should I always be crafting on blue/rare bases that already have a mod or 2 that I need.

[abstract pecan]

white will give u a up to a T12+ items that would be decent for use until u get a good base to make T17-20 items

[hollow vale]

Ahh ok. So ideally I'd just have an item with decent stats to begin

[wooden cedar]

I don't have any quests. And I only have one character

[fierce kraken]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/quests compare your log to this

[vapid aspen]

With the new +level uniques/sets, am I correct in saying that the new highest level a skill can hit is 29? With a fire minion skill: +2 new gloves, +4 exalted mod, +2 old amulet, and the new set for +fire and +curse.

Only other thing I can see beating it would be if you can get the minion tag and fire tag added to some curse skill but I don't know of any ways to do that.

[fierce kraken]

i guess but points start to get a lot worse after a certain point

[vapid aspen]

Depends on the skill really.

[urban horizon]

It depends on the skill since some skills already get pretty much everything from 20 points yet some skills still have good points even if you had 30 skill points

[vapid aspen]

Assuming the flame wraith and putrid wraith nodes add fire and poison tags you can get level 30 wraiths.

[fierce kraken]

i think it is at this point you need to take both of those nodes to get the benefit of both of those.

sure you could do both but what kind of wraith army are you making?

[vapid aspen]

A wraith army with a very high level skill :) I was just curious about the actual max level, not viability.

[leaden tangle]

Hi yall, was there any news recently for coop?

[random dock]

no but its coming later this year

[latent vale]

End of the year/next year

Little question from a newbie, rolling within the range of a mod, somehow possible?
Like when i have a bad T5 roll, just the minimum %

Or do i have to create a new item, close my eyes, slam it with a new T5 roll and just be lucky

[cloud kindle]

You have a rune for this, you can use it in the forge

[raw fern]

Use Rune of Refinement

[latent vale]

ahh ty

[stiff notch]

servers down?

nvm

it worked

🤔

[wooden cedar]

I missed 2 quests. Thank you for your help

[tame fossil]

can someone tell me how to unlock empowered timelines?

I just did my first timeline, quite farther out than it needs to be, then reset it by killing shade

[cloud kindle]

you need to complete the three level 90 timelines

[tame fossil]

ah okay, so this isn't a thing you do on each timeline going up?

[cloud kindle]

no, you empower everything at once

btw, empower is level 100, so you may need to be prepared to confront it

[tame fossil]

I gotcha

thank you!

[cloud kindle]

🙂

[iron zealot]

Hey, guys. Let's show our wonderful devs some love!
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/dev-appreciation-thread/38371

[heavy gale]

so, im tyring out my first build in a while. and last time there were focus on glancing blow 😅 so for necro, what defences do i want for myself? whats the res i should go for, endurance etc?

[wanton jasper]

I´m doing cap all resistance, cap crit avoidance and the rest on health

[heavy gale]

alright thanks! whats an easy way to cap resists? i know stacking elemental gives res to all three

[wanton jasper]

run all resistance which give u resistance to all (even void, necrotic, and poison) on shield; and the rest on the gear is probably the easiest way

[ocean flax]

is item filter broken? or im just stupid?

or both?

some options works, other not at all..

[quick thorn]

The Loot filter works on the top to down format. So if you have something on the top of the list could be negating something that is below it. Make sure that you have all of your stuff is ordered from top to bottom

[ocean flax]

i know that, its just messes my brain and i dont have many options there.

[balmy current]

Use 2 gold rings for ele resist, a bone amulet for phys/necrotic, Crusader gauntlets for void resist, that'll give you up to 36% ele resist, up to 40% phys/necrotic & up to 45% void resist.

[ocean flax]

maybe im just stupid, Grim dawn filter works perfectly fine for me

[balmy current]

then you can get ~1 other t5 resist suffixes (for each resist apart from Ele which will require 2x ele resist) & be capped

[primal ravine]

If i Despecialize a skill, i will forever lose a skill point? And there's no way of getting it back?

[balmy current]

Yes, you loose the points forever

[primal ravine]

for example i despecialize flurry for puncture (I had 2 points in flurry) but i didnt like puncture and switched back to flurry, now i only got 1, is there anyway to get that lost 1 point back

[balmy current]

Though the next skill in that slot gets the minimum skill levels

[primal ravine]

so how do I prevent that from happening

[balmy current]

you don't

[primal ravine]

huh

[balmy current]

So if you're a lvl ~80 char, you have 10 minimum skill level for each skill

so if you then despec a skill & put a new one in it's place that new skill will start at lvl 10

[primal ravine]

i dont really get it sorry, if i wanna change my specialized skills as i lvl up, i will always lose 1 skill point everytime I change?

if i lvl up will i get the lost skill point back? so instead of +1 i get +2

[balmy current]

I'll grab a pic from a high lvl character

It's less pertinent to low level characters

If you swap a skill for a new one, the new one will level up faster (depending on when you swap)

[primal ravine]

i first used flurry, switched to puncture, then back to flurry

lost 1 point

[balmy current]

as your character levels up, you'll unlock new "minimum skill levels"

[balmy current]

yes.

[primal ravine]

so i will never get that skill point back right?

[balmy current]

correct, but skills level up faster when you're in higher level zones

[primal ravine]

so i bricked my character in a sense since i will forever has 1 less skill points

[balmy current]

and low level skills level up faster than higher level skills

[balmy current]

No, definitely not.

you'll always be able to get a skill up to lvl 20

[primal ravine]

i see but now i will be required to lvl up 1 more than the others

to get it to lvl 20

there's no accelerated exp after the switch

its a brick right?

[balmy current]

It's not bricked

I often start levelling with a skill then when the skill I want to use swap it out

You can't brick your character like that. If you decide you want to use a new skills you just have to level it up again, it's not a big issue.

when you get to higher levels you'll start getting the minimum skill levels & when you then respec your skills you'll also get accelerated levelling for the lower level skills

[primal ravine]

OH WAIT, i get what you mean now, when i switch a skill it just resets its lvls, so i have to relvl it from lvl 1

[balmy current]

yes

sorry for not being clear

[primal ravine]

i didn't lost the point, i was very confused, cuz i thought those skill lvls are bound to your character lvl

no problem

[balmy current]

you understand now, that is the important thing. 🙂

[primal ravine]

so tldr, whenever i choose to switch active abilities, it will go back to lvl 0/6/whatsoever

[balmy current]

yes

you'll have 10 min skill lvl in your character lvl 70s.

[primal ravine]

when i switch to new tier skills, it will get accelerated lvling, but now since i switched around with based skills, i dont get the acceleration

[balmy current]

the only thing that can't be changed is your mastery

[balmy current]

because you're too low level for that, not because they're "base skills"

[primal ravine]

oh yea i was very confused, cuz everytime i lvled, my skill also lvled with me, so i thought it was 100% tied as my character lvls (1 to 1)

i thought i had to recreate a new character to not waste that skill point LOL

[balmy current]

If you got to lvl 70 & decided to switch from Puncture to Flurry it would get min skill lvl & accelerated levelling

It'll be more obvious later on

[primal ravine]

yea i almost deleted my character lmao

[balmy current]

🙂 no, its just that the skills you've specialised in gain xp as you do

[primal ravine]

i get it now, thanks a ton

its not tied to your character lvls, its completely separate

the UI was confusing

thanks again!

[balmy current]

They become available based on your character levels though

[primal ravine]

Yeap, that's fine, i was just afraid that respecing will remove a skill point forever, i didnt know it was exp separated xD

[heavy gale]

so, have never had any crashed during the acts but as soon as i hit monoliths i keep crashing while entering new monoliths, is this a common issue?

[noble rose]

It happened to me as well after the hotfixes, I reinstalled the game and it seems to be working atm

[heavy gale]

well, i dont have steam cloud save one, so if i reinstall; will i loose the save file?

[noble rose]

I'd assume you would, but idk for sure

[heavy gale]

sigh, to scarred to give it a go. what a shame. i was really getting into the game

[raw fern]

Try verifying game files on steam

[rain moat]

does anyone has the direct link to download the stand alone?

steam is so slow and I bought the game through steam

[static matrix]

anything good to do with this 3 piece set?

I mean obviously it's just elemental skeletons

but does it actually work well

[balmy current]

go to the website & log in

https://imgur.com/yp0Rh5h

https://imgur.com/SavmxZS

[rain moat]

I did, I created the account in the website, but bought the game on steam

so the website says 'buy the game'

[balmy current]

Have you linked your steam account with the website?

There was a similar post to yours on the forum, one sec

[rain moat]

that's the option I don't see in the website, so I'm just downloading the game in steam

[balmy current]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/steam-only-or-separate-client/38150

[balmy current]

Huh.

try support then

[e-mail]

[viscid fern]

What are the base stats of Manifest armor? Does it need resistances? What stats affect it?

[viscid fern]

Nice, thanks.

[balmy current]

the build planner is a good source of data

[viscid fern]

Oh yeah, that's up and running now.

[noble rose]

By the by, is it currently not possible to move stash tabs between categories or am I just being dumb?

[restive kernel]

has the ai for necromancer minions been updated yet? havent played LE since like february but heard they planned to fix minion ai

[balmy current]

yes, you can edit the stash tab & change it's category

[balmy current]

yes it has

[restive kernel]

[noble rose]

Oooh, thanks a lot! gonna save me a lot of gold

[strong dune]

How do I see what tier my affixed are?

[noble rose]

Hold alt on the item

[strong dune]

If I fracture an item with higher tier affix

Do I get more shards?

[balmy current]

shatter, yes

[strong dune]

Ty

[noble rose]

yee, it basically rolls the chance of you getting a shard once per tier from what I've understood

[strong dune]

What’s the difference between the three fractures

[balmy current]

yup

[noble rose]

One makes it so you can't craft on it anymore, one weakens one of the mods, and one removes one mod I think, third one never happened to me 😄

[balmy current]

minor means you can't craft, Damaging reduces the tier of an affix, can't remember what destructive is

[noble rose]

Yeah, I've actually never seen destructive happen

Ooh, so damaging fracture reduces a random affix by 1-2 tiers, but destructive does the same thing to 2 random affixes

Game guide came to the rescue

[strong dune]

Thank you guys

Now to figure out loot filters lol

[balmy current]

heavy has one on the forums

[balmy pulsar]

to get the gloves with +2 minion skill which ones do i have to gamble?

im at 62

[strong dune]

Is there a way to change the color of the scrolls that drop?

Glyphs and such

[wispy vine]

any big brains got any suggestions to lowering this?

i5-7400 3ghz quad, 1060 3gb, 16gb ram

ive seen others with better pcs having same issue, i know the games not optimized yet

but this is atrocious

tried vsync already and lowering some settings, doesnt even touch the ~95-99% gpu usage

[raw fern]

Try this:
master quality: Low, Resolution: 1920x1080, Limit FPS: 60

Helped for me

[wispy vine]

i just set the fps limit

and its about 5% cpu drop per 5 frames dropped

i guess my 1060 isnt cutting it anymore 😦

but im not paying 500$ for a mid tier gpu, damn crypto miners

its prob just cus its not optimized, cant get mad at a beta 🙂

[raw fern]

Yeah, it's getting better 🙂

[hearty spindle]

Is heal on block affected by healing effectivenes?

[honest shadow]

Does this prevent baby scorpions spawning?

[primal ravine]

can you inflict both bleed and poison on a same target?

[sonic falcon]

Is there force stop for movement?

[sharp ibex]

@hearty spindle I do not believe it does, only healing from skills

[acoustic thicket]

could someone tell me what each option does please? first time playing

[sharp ibex]

@honest shadow I'm gonna say no as they are generated from a companion's tree and they aren't companions themselves

@primal ravine yes, you can

[honest shadow]

Thank you so much 🙂 scorpion dreams stay alive

[sharp ibex]

@acoustic thicket Determines which path you open to go to next timeline, lv. 60 is left and lv. 65 is right path. Typically people go right, because blessings are offensive/defensive vs. loot blessings on the left side

[acoustic thicket]

thanks 🙂

[primal ravine]

thanks

[hearty spindle]

Thanks

[lusty haven]

anome after pacth gat monolit of fate no working ?
