what class was it that made it to wave 1k? necro?

or was it the eq bear

[urban horizon]

Necro and eq bear can do it too

[gentle void]

yeah thats nuts

is that the current highest ever?

[lime forum]

In the not to distant future....
"back when i was a kid... you could just charge around and stuff goes boom boom boom!"

[gentle void]

i really wish we had the option start arena at higher than 80

[gentle void]

lol ok ok ill def give it a try edit: plus i already have a few of the weapons in my stash to use :p

[urban horizon]

It actually isn't i think the highest is 1.7k but arena was easier back then. I pushed death seal to 1k and shadow cascade to 1k. Tunk stopped at 1k so the build could go much higher than that

[gentle void]

when did arena change and what changed?

[urban horizon]

Scaling changes and then arena got multipliers at wave 100, 200, 300 to make arena runs faster

[flint abyss]

why is low life ward viable? just curious

is it because of endurance applying to ward too?

[urban horizon]

Endurance does not apply to ward

[pale umbra]

no

[flint abyss]

so it's the ward generation it provides?

it's mostly because I have the chest piece and the boots for it, so I'm curious

[pale umbra]

the endurance is the trigger point to maintain the LL

get that too high and you wont stay LL

I hope I am saying that correctly

[lime forum]

? The chest and the boost comsume your current life and then give ward based on how much life ypur missing. Endurance plays no part

[flint abyss]

I didn't know that, but still I don't get how it becomes viable
so I was hoping someone could clarify the purpose of using those pieces

[gentle void]

because you get a massive amount of ward per second

which gives you a higher health pool 'easier'

[urban horizon]

Ward generation can get pretty high making it viable but it isn't better than high health + high leech

There are some cases (druid werebear for example) where you get a lot of damage and dr if you are below 35% health so the DR will work with ward meaning you can regen fast enough in between hits to survive

[lime forum]

Ward generation can get pretty high making it viable but it isn't better than high health + high leech
@urban horizon

For were bear and most classes yes. For some builds i would argue this hard.

Very very high health min maxed builds would outperform leech at the top levels
Builds like necro zzombies would be better

[urban horizon]

I mean something like zombie necro wouldn't even benefit from leech since their own damage is zdps and the amount of ward necro can generate pushes it over health.

[grave yarrow]

I tried messing with numbers for low life Ward EQ Werebear, and the only downside I see is that you need to keep your Crows alive so it's mechanicaly worse, but the EHP numbers can probably get as high, or maybe even higher

and your crows only give you ward every so often

life leech is better than crows healing, but that 100% multi damage is juicyyy

[lime forum]

No argumemts here. I just didnt want twin thinking leech was better for every build.

[grave yarrow]

Ward could use a buff though, and it would make the choice between life and ward much harder

just a small buff would be enough

[gentle void]

ive already been debating if hybrid life/ward sb was better than low life ward sb

i think both have their advantages, but i agree with binashole that ward needs something more, i cant help but feel like its missing something.

i just hit around 200 corruption with my spellblade and im reconsidering my whole life

[pale umbra]

Ward at the lower end of the scale not really, but at the higher end I do agree. Maybe FoE or boardman can give their 2 cents 🙂

[latent halo]

does crit > 100% do anything? (i.e. help with 'avoid crits' enemies?)

[lime forum]

Nope

[hearty willow]

Is there a way to tell what kind of dmg enemies are doing? Really struggling with this area ... Haven't died, but still.

[vapid aspen]

There is the offhand catalyst that gives disintigrate a more multiplier based on spell crit. Thats the only reason to ever take it past 100%

[balmy current]

It's all colour coded. Red/orange for fire, teal for necrotic, etc.

[pale umbra]

Red is also for phys since well blood

[hearty willow]

😢 I guess that just means the fallen osprix hurt ... I have good fire and phys reduction

[pale umbra]

yes, they can hurt, just ask mike in the dev channel about their damage capabilities

[verbal swan]

Heya folks, anyone know for sure if Charged Feathers and Power Claw work with Frigid Wings? I suspect they do since I think Charged Feathers/Power Claw are naming the attack rather than the damage type, but I wasn't 100% sure

[vagrant canyon]

can the echo quests in the monolith be a bit of a build damage gate? running a pet build necro. there's one part im having trouble with. mobs keep spawning and i cant clear them quickly enoguh and die

[teal raptor]

Are you talking about the 2nd quest echo in the first timeline (where you have to kill the bone pile while adds are spawning)?

If so, on that one can be a particularly hard one for some characters at that point. For some it's a joke, for others it's horrible

[gentle void]

this worth keeping?

[versed willow]

yes

yes

yes

i would kill for that thing

goddamn

[latent halo]

is it better to just push for empowering timelines rather than farming blessings?

[gentle void]

whats it good for

[versed willow]

a lot

[pale umbra]

It depends on if you are satisfied with a lower tier blessing until you can effectively farm the higher level

[latent halo]

maybe a better question to start would be how does empowering work? I know I need to finish these 3 level 90 monoliths and go to the island in the middle (IIRC) but is it like an on/off switch, or is it on and permanent or...?

[versed willow]

when you go to a monolith, you have a choice between entering normal or legendary echoes

legendary being emp

[latent halo]

ah

[gentle void]

whats your highest increased corruption before getting dead ended?

this one is 21 echoes in @ 223 corruption

Does armor shred affect poison dam?

[balmy current]

no

armour shred only affects hit damage, not ailment damage. But it does affect spells that hit

which is most of them

[gilded blaze]

This isn’t a thing right?

[balmy current]

No

[gilded blaze]

Cool, thought it was weird

[turbid raft]

its so obvious tho

[visual axle]

What does the "Attunement" stat mean?

It's a stat. They all have benefits other than 4% increased damage for a skill that has it as a tag.

hover over the attunement stat in your character screen.

Could someone confirm that Shroud of Obscurity doesn't increase bleed damage for Spirit Plague?

Shroud of Obscurity even lowers my dps on Harvest LOL

It should increase it (bleed damage) due to the bleed effectiveness stat, plus Lich gets increased damage based on % missing hp

[orchid smelt]

Hi everybody!

[calm wing]

Hey @orchid smelt

[sonic orchid]

Quick question, how do I use earthquake on werebear form?

[balmy current]

Charge

and Bhuldar's Wrath weapon

[cloud kindle]

For pure tankyness, would you recommend Paladin or Forge Guard? I mean damage reduction, like Armour and Block

[winter drum]

speaking of earthquake werebear, how do you get even close to having enough crit to sustain werebear?

i see theres a couple points of %increased crit on the tree but that doesn't seem to be nearly enough (tho i'm too low level to grab them for just now)

given that my base crit with bhuldar is like 7%

[cloud kindle]

Use weapons with base crit chance, it helps

[winter drum]

yeah well that's not really an option with bhuldar

given it's the core of the build :D

[versed willow]

I'd go paladin

[cloud kindle]

That was my first choice, but I was wondering because there seems to be more possibilities and the Forge Guard's tree. But yes, it will very likely be Paladin!

[orchid smelt]

Will we be able to choose a character then a class or are they gonna remain locked like now (primalist-male, rogue-female etc)?

[balmy current]

[bleak bramble]

You lose werebear when you run out of mana. Charge is free, at least on my build. Not sure what crit has to do with it.

[orchid smelt]

Thanks @balmy current

[winter drum]

charge costs on my build, i might have to double check my trees then

[balmy current]

Unspec the Overwhelm node

[balmy current]

Crit was/can be used to regain mana when Swipe crits via the Innervating Blow node

[winter drum]

what would be the difference between "increased cooldown recovery speed" and "increased cooldown recovery speed while transformed"? i mean apart from the obvious "one only works when you're transformed hurr durr", the while transformed value looks much lower than the regular one, so why would anyone use the while transformed one?

[tame canopy]

Who do I ask to get the streamer role? I saw the bot announcing streamers going live and would love to add myself there

[plush vale]

Im fairly new to the game, so Id like to ask: what do you do with urs glyphs of stability? Seems that Im doing it wrong, as I usually just craft white items from zero to t12+ with just a guardian glyphs, but cant really hit that t15+ items, not even talking about higher tiers

[dense remnant]

i generally use stabillity glyphs until its about a 75% chance to fail the craft

but depends on what item im aiming to replace

if i need like, t18+ or something, then i might just try and stability until its a 60% chance to fail

[plush vale]

For a single mod, right? Or you craft as many as you can until those 75/60%?

[dense remnant]

depends on what i need

if i need all 4 affixes high, then ill use it on all 4, 1 after another, then repeat

if i only need 2, ill just do it on those 2 one after another

theres no hard rule for exactly what you do, becuase its compltely dependant on what you need that gear to be/what its replacing

[plush vale]

Ic, well it's pretty much like my craft

And, how often do you hit anything past t12?

[dense remnant]

most of the time, but i never craft from white items

games not designed for you to craft up a white item to a t15+

[plush vale]

This is currently the best item I crafted, I believe, ms got lowered cause of damaging fracture

[plush vale]

Yeah, that's for sure

[dense remnant]

what you want to be doing is picking up loot that has the affixes you want

and then you craft those affixes up

[plush vale]

My problem is that I always setup a loot filter for that particular build im playing right now

[dense remnant]

is that a problem? :p

[plush vale]

So missing on good items for other possible builds 😄

[dense remnant]

i only play ssf so thats always my life xD

[plush vale]

I feel like ssf too, not really sharing items between chars, just the crafting materials

But it doesent mean much in terms of rare affixes

[median urchin]

If i do the boss encounter which resets monolith web progress does it means i takes longer for the quest progression?

the blessing thing

[frozen perch]

Fighting shade doesn't drop the stability (it increases it, in fact). It also increases the stability you gain from each echo. In turn, the enemies you face are a bit harder.

[median urchin]

ah nice, everything seems 2 easy for me so just keep doing em i guess

ah my problem was i didnt notice that the quest echeos appears on left side and no on the web

just saw it now lol

[thorn ice]

Question: Are 13 passive points all the passive points you can get from questing?

[winter drum]

i think you can get 17

but it has been changed a couple times so i haven't been able to confirm that info

[finite prairie]

Thx, but that was like 6 months ago. Didn't know if there was any progress since then

[balmy current]

That's all we've got.

If there were new news they would have a)updated the echobot response, b)posted it in #news & c)probably people would be talking about it online.

[cloud kindle]

Is it possible to reset the corruption of a timeline? I would like to set it to zero again, as if it was a fresh start

[pale umbra]

Think only after killing the shade, not 100% sure on that, maybe someone else can confirm/deny

[balmy current]

Nope

doing a shade "close" to the start of the web can reduce the corruption.

[winter drum]

last steps of the living drop on regular formosus, right? no need to have him empowered or whatever that means

[balmy current]

correct

[winter drum]

alright thanks

[balmy current]

15% chance to drop

[cloud kindle]

OK so I can reduce but not reset. Thanks!

[balmy current]

yup

[cloud kindle]

What if I push too high? The timeline is bricked for this hero?

[balmy current]

then you need to do a "close" shade

[formal knoll]

On individual echoes, is it more time effective to clear the map or just complete the objective and move on? Also, if I'm just starting into Mono, is it advisable to corrupt and farm the first few timelines or move on after the first completion?

[cloud kindle]

If I can handle it. OK, all that confirms what I understood. Thanks again!

[cloud kindle]

Go to the objective without rushing. You can ignore a bunch of opponents. But the content of the reward chest depends on how many you killed.
Then, I'd suggest to do all timelines at least once, then farm again all the ones from which you want better blessings or rolls.

[nocturne sage]

By reward chest, you mean the big chest on a pedastal or the reward crystals with the promise-reward item? What's the name for the monolith reward crystals?

[random dock]

its the chest on the right that you always open after an echo

[nocturne sage]

gotcha, so what's the name of the crystal then?

[balmy current]

the bonus reward

[rapid salmon]

is there a leveling guide for fire necro build

[eternal matrix]

i can't turn off the fps limit, is there another setting i need to disable for that

[winter drum]

regarding idols, there is no miracle recipe to get better idols right

run idol echoes if you run across em, pray

[random dock]

setup your filter to point out the big idols

[winter drum]

it is, i mean there is no way to gamble them, or craft them, or that kind of thing

[vapid aspen]

Nope

[random dock]

no

[winter drum]

alright

[random dock]

as an example I get this big green border on idols that have 2x shadow affixes

if they have neither or are a one-off they just show the regular label for idols

[ripe brook]

We'll be releasing multiplayer in 2021. Here's some more info: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/patch-0-9-and-multiplayer-are-coming-next-year/27563.

[fiery rose]

Stupid question, how do you unlock empowered monoliths lol

[knotty hinge]

Complete the 3 level 90 timelines located in the top right then walk to the island that connects them.

[fiery rose]

Awesome, thank you

[viral heart]

What is the benefit of Penetration if u also are shredding ?

[fierce kraken]

they add together so if you shred 30 res and have 20 pen its like the mob has -50.

[magic hinge]

is there anywhere to see the total amount of shred armour? I can find it on the stats page

cant

[frigid orbit]

AS answered in the dev-channel. Duration is a more multiplier for damage regarding overall damage per DoT. It add additional ticks of the same size as without duration. Thus, a single DoT does the same DpS but you have more active when hitting an enemy continuouslyand thus it increases your dps

[frigid orbit]

But Pen is more consistent in general as bosses have a 60% reduced shred effect. 20 stacks of resistance shred (limit) for boss yields "only" 40 penetration instead of 100. Considering you are able to keep 20 stacks up. But on the other hand penetration on gear is more rare.

[viral heart]

Thank you for the explanation. that helps me alot to understand the workings!

[frigid orbit]

But as someone told previously they work together. Each point of reduced resistant increases the damage the enemy take by 1% if I remember correct.

[magic hinge]

Are shock chance and lighting dam related or sep (chill/cold etc)

[balmy current]

no, the only ailment that's related to a damage element is freeze/cold. Every other ailment is unrelated. However shock will do very little for non-lightning damage (since they can only benefit from the increased chance to stun that shock gives)

[magic hinge]

@balmy current No worries, thanks for that

[gentle void]

why do bananas taste the way they do?

[versed willow]

bananas will be bananas

[spare bramble]

That is not what I read from Mike. I saw him say it just stretches out the duration without adding additional ticks.

[frigid orbit]

I read it to. But tested it hitting the dummy with single bleeds and different equipment for many times...

[balmy current]

I know, but Mike was wrong.

[vapid aspen]

Is it a bug, or did he misspeak?

[balmy current]

It's how the game currently works.

[frigid orbit]

He said that the dps does not increase. This is true for one hit. But the hit does overall more damage. In a fight over a duration it thus increases the dps

[barren iris]

So Im playing MM cinderstrike ignite, would this node also affect the ignite dmg or only the actual ability hitting ?

[balmy current]

No, that's bow damage so it'll only affect the hit damage not any ignites

or other ailments

[topaz relic]

I dont understand what these aspects are

I know aspect of the panther is but thats about it

if you try and type it in on the skill menu nothing gets highlighted

[cloud kindle]

It's in the passives of the Beastmaster, if I'm not wrong

[crude ridge]

can some1 explain?

[topaz relic]

explain what

[crude ridge]

i have choose a blessing form the monolith which i have no discovered blessings in

[verbal swan]

Heya folks, I'm trying to work out how this item's modifier works in the damage equation

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzDMEYHZSA

This bit in particular:

35% increased effect of Poison applied by Melee Attacks

So if a stack of poison does 35 base damage and I have 100% increased poison damage it will do 70 damage

[magic prawn]

ailment effect scales all numerical attributes of that ailment, so damage and the reduction to poison res

[verbal swan]

is it multiplicative or additive with "increased poison damage"?

its in its own category so it seems like it would be multiplicative but it says increased so I wasn't sure

[magic prawn]

it's its own modifier, so multiplicative with any other source of increased damage yes

[verbal swan]

thanks

[gentle void]

i just got a 1.5 gig update for LE? anyone else, what is it?

oh they just posted in #news

nvm

[strong dune]

Can you go over 20 in a skill with mods?

Or is it wasted?

[winter drum]

you can

it'll give you that many points

[iron zealot]

Are you sure about this? It's an "increased" modifier than applies to two aspects: Poison Damage and Reduced Resistance. Since you probably don't have other "increased" modifiers on the poison resist side, it's effectively equivalent since it would be multiplied in either case. However, for the increased damage side of things, I always thought it would just add to that, then be multiplied by other "more" multipliers.

[frigid orbit]

'Increased' in this situation should only mean that it is additive with other sources of increased poison effect. If you have two source they will add and then multiply poison damage and resistance reduction. If it would say 'more poison effect' two affixes from different items would be multiplicative. At least this is my understanding.

[magic prawn]

it's an increase to the effect of the ailment, therefore it multiplies its base damage and any other numerical modifier it may have. For example, frostbite gets more freeze multiplier

it's explained in the in-game guide with frostbite as an example

[radiant ravine]

can you change keybinds?

and is there a transmog system in the game

and when will uniques get their own models

[knotty hinge]

settings->gameplay->change input keys

[radiant ravine]

sweet cheers

[knotty hinge]

No transmog system yet, unsure if they devs have said anything about it. Mtx will be available later on though.

Many uniques do have their own model, it's something they are working on over time.

[radiant ravine]

how cool does the current endgame gear look

is it closer to how the chars look on character creation or closer to the concept art here

https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/nt6ayv/i_asked_judd_to_leak_some_cosmetics_this_is_what/

[knotty hinge]

Nothing like the concept art for me

But I FEEL like a bad ass

Ok fine I found a better set of gear to show off how awesome I am.

[gentle void]

he need some milk

[empty flare]

isn't corruption supposed to be global because then amount of time gates in endgame content is too much

i mean progress the monolith empower it then set it all up to farm takes too long

[knotty hinge]

Are you asking if the current system is working as intended or providing feedback?

[empty flare]

and i can't respec my class so if i'm making mistake i'm punished to do it all over again

dunno just asking about devs making some statements about current endgame content tweaks

or something like that

because the thing as is feels like punishment for playing the game beyond empowering

[latent halo]

all data is saved locally on your machine

if you're using Steam, cloud sync is supposed to copy things around, but if it doesn't, you could have less progress on one computer than another and would need to copy files over

if you're on Windows, your save file directory should be in %userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Eleventh Hour Games\Last Epoch @candid folio

does elemental damage work with chill and shock or only for things like lightning/ fire damage?

can u farm a mono boss over and over by not picking a blessing after kill?

[opal mesa]

Only bosses that require you to talk to an npc after you kill them

[scenic tiger]

i mean formosus in particular

i have to talk to an npc after

but it wont drop any uniques anymore

did him like 10 times but only first droppped one

or im super unlucky

[opal mesa]

oh idk then sorry

[cloud kindle]

That's not normal, all bosses drop a unique after the fight.

First check if you don't have a loot filter rule that hides the drop. Then submit a bug report.

!bug

[ripe brook]

Please post bug reports on our forum: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports. Thanks!

[winter drum]

no, this is on purpose

if you don't grab the blessing, the boss won't drop you anything else

this is to prevent you from not picking the blessing, clearing a single echo and going back for more loot

[cloud kindle]

Interesting ^^

[winter drum]

you have to pick a blessing, that'll empty the stability, at which point you'll be able to refill the stability, do the 2 quests and the boss again and then it'll drop some uniques again

Hi, is there a way to lower the light effekt when my minion hits a target? on big targets with more minions its way too much. Or switch the effekt off maybe?

[lyric plaza]

Are you talking about the "flash when enemies hit?"

If so, then yeah you can disable it in the settings

[slow adder]

I asked a streamer and he could not help me out.

https://prnt.sc/14vp3zh

I whink its when my enemys get hit, not the enemy flash is annoying its the flash when my enemys get hit i think

i un checked the option to flash when an enemy is getting a hit but i dont like it

[plucky sapphire]

how many (if any) uniques have their own 3d models so far? just curious ig

[vapid aspen]

Dreamthorn and volcanus have a unique visual off top of my head

Exsanguinous I think reuses a model, but has some unique vfx

There are more but I don't think anyone has an exact number

Basixally many of them are unique vfx on an existing model though. Their artists probs have their hands full on enemies and areas for the rest of the campaign.

[dapper iris]

After yesterday’s patch did anyone on steam get an error message that steam couldn’t sync with cloud saved game files?

[vapid aspen]

Yeah I did, didn't cause any issues though for me

[dapper iris]

So your progress was saved. Ok good thanks

[balmy current]

I'm not an employee, so, no.

[vapid aspen]

Do the gaspar items share their cooldown?

[balmy current]

I'd think probably not since they're different procs

[vapid aspen]

And since its 25% reduction, not recovery, the set makes it 3 seconds I assume

[balmy current]

I would also go with that

[strong dune]

Does corruption increase rewards?

I’m not sure how it works

[balmy current]

From within the echo, yes, but not from the bonus/reward chest a the end

[torn cradle]

So, how do i unlock lvl 100 monoliths ? I finished all 3 90 ones

[winter drum]

go back to the center of those three

like theres a center platform that links em together

[torn cradle]

thank you, strange there are no quest for that

[winter drum]

honestly there might be but my log is filled with secondary quests i'll never do

so i've stopped looking at it

[thorny raptor]

I have a question about town portals - I got all the way to Lagon and went back to town, and took the waypoint to the temple of Lagon to fill up on potions, when I took the waypoint back to town, my portal to Lagon was gone. Is that how portals are supposed to work or a bug?

[twilit shoal]

I'm sure that's intentional, there's no way they want you to cheese bosses

[minor gate]

Hey has anyone else had issues with LE not remembering input button changes for controllers?

Wanted to double check that there's not some easy fix before bothering the devs

[radiant ravine]

It's not too bad tbh

there's definitely potential there

[radiant ravine]

not to me and my friends

we think in any rpg how your character looks is intrinsically tied in with how it feels

made poe unplayable for us

half the fun is cosmetics and transmogging, i've got no reason to make my characters numbers more powerful if it doesnt allow me to unlock cool cosmetic customisation stuff

[opal mesa]

Half the fun is also being able to play all aspects of your character for me

[radiant ravine]

Exactly

I don't want the visual aspects or any skills or anything locked behind a monetary barrier

in a game that's all about your characters progression

[minor vigil]

agree w/ this; especially bc poe's cosmetics are insanely expensive

like i get having to fund continuous development but good lord

cosmetics are gameplay imo and earning them is just more fun than buying them

[radiant ravine]

I would happily buy my way into each league, as though it's a dlc or expansion

but have access to all aspects of my character

cosmetics included

would be awesome to have a cosmetic customization behind rng drops, challenges and some with ridiculously long/hard grinds

[strong dune]

U in the minority

[radiant ravine]

yeah it seems the majority of gamers nowadays love to gape their wallets wide open for anti-consumer practices and lackluster design choices cooked up in networking conferences on how to best optimise your game to milk money out of whales

hopefully this company's different though

[opal mesa]

I just want to play all masteries on the one character

[radiant ravine]

the game oozes character and passion so I'm happy to put my trust in them

and the fact they have the guts to charge a box price and not just dive straight into mtx whale hunting nonsense gives me hope

[abstract pecan]

There are $1000 support packs with cosmetic mtx points. What do you think those points will be used for?

[strong dune]

Nah I think most sane and financially responsible people would prefer not paying for expansions if it meant optional cosmetics

[radiant ravine]

Then you haven't fully researched the subject or you have questionable moral fibre

[strong dune]

Uhh

Forced to pay for content or free content with optional cosmetics

It’s a no brained

Brainer

[radiant ravine]

most whales are vulnerable people, it's the minority that have billionaire dads or are saudi oil emirates

You are only thinking about yourself and how it benefits you

"questionable moral fibre"

[strong dune]

Yes the majority of people would rather a game cost less to play and have optional purchases for cosmetics

The riot model

It’s pretty simple

[radiant ravine]

It's a narrow minded view

and an awful analogy

[strong dune]

How is it narrow minded?

[radiant ravine]

because you are thinking about it through a microscope

[strong dune]

I’d love to hear your thoughts

[radiant ravine]

read above

most whales are people with addiction problems, poor social circles and little to no family support

and can't afford to be a whale

[abstract pecan]

There’s no point arguing about this when there’s CLEARLY a mtx cosmetic element when u press ‘K’ in game.

[strong dune]

If you think most people would prefer to pay extra money for expansions so was not a cash shop you’re wrong. It’s just how it is.

[radiant ravine]

I never once said that

I said that most people either haven't researched the ins and outs of whale hunting or they have questionable moral fibre

I'd say 90% of the time it's the former

[strong dune]

I could care less about whales. We’re talking about the majority

Majority of people would prefer a cash shop for cosmetics with no forced pay for expansions

[radiant ravine]

You don't even understand what we're talking about do you?

the "majority" gets paid for by the whales

without the whales

the "majority" do not get to pay for free

[strong dune]

I understand that

That’s why a cash shop is good

[radiant ravine]

they are tied together

[strong dune]

It’s literally a good example of capitalism

That works well

And is mutually beneficial

[radiant ravine]

What so the vulnerable people can ruin their lives over psychological tricks aimed at milking them out of as much money as possible just so responsible and financially secure people can save on a tiny amount of money

[strong dune]

If you are tricked into being a whale for a video game

[radiant ravine]

In 50 years it'll be a good example of capitilism

[strong dune]

You deserve it

[radiant ravine]

Lol thats like saying if you wear a short skirt you're asking for it

[strong dune]

Uhhh

Not at all

You have control over your actions

Terrible analogy

[radiant ravine]

either way it's hella off topic

add me and pm me if you want to continue

[strong dune]

It was on topic to our conversation

Good luck

[radiant ravine]

we're talking about whale hunting in the industry

not about last epoch anymore

[merry smelt]

Trying to get a friend to play anyone knows a good beginner guide in video form?

[crude ridge]

yo guys. can some one throw me a good HC build? i aim to get lvl 100 farming improved monolith. a guide video would be super nice.

[cedar merlin]

Whats the "Importance order" for defences? Like "Life > Resistances > Stun avoidance" or whatever. Im almost fully res capped and got 1450 life doing level 90s cause 100s kill me too often. Idk which stats to look for except life and res cause i dont know which are important. I get stunned a lot in 100s so i feel like i need some stun avoidance. Help lol

^playing a shadow cascade blade dancer

[crude ridge]

after resistance cap you need to get a 100% crit avoidance

this is probably why you suffer a big amount of damage sometimes

after crit avoidance is caped you should go for a endurance+endurance trashold. armor is useful to.

[cedar merlin]

Figured i might as well just post my crappy stats https://i.imgur.com/JTGWnrV.png

[crude ridge]

so, res cap->crit avoidance->endurance->armor

[cedar merlin]

hmm - where is life in that order? 😄

[crude ridge]

ye, you are at zero crit avoidance. this is kinda bad oneshot situation.

somewhere near armor

[cedar merlin]

lol okay

[crude ridge]

depends on builds you run of course

[cedar merlin]

im coming from PoE where its just "cap res > stack life" so this is my belt XD https://i.imgur.com/4ghQrNC.png

[crude ridge]

personally im not aiming on life whatsoever. but i play ranged build. im 99 lvl with 950 health.

[cedar merlin]

lol

well i guess having 60% endurance at around max life is basically a 60% life increase

[crude ridge]

this is okayish belt, again depends on your other equipment. i run a quiver that gives me something like 4% elemental res. lol/

yes.

and all those stats are multiplicative.

[cedar merlin]

what about stun avoidance?

having problems with ranged enemies cause they stun me while im just trying to run towards them

cause shift has cooldown n stuff

[crude ridge]

cant say for sure. i play ranged, so i do not need to run much. im just spamming my god damn arrows with a 2 monitors range.

[cedar merlin]

lol

[crude ridge]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ehp here you can calculate effective hp using all of the defensive stats

this way you can see how much survivability each stats gives to you. so you can kinda figure out the stat prior.

to complete the monolith and to get to the lvl 100 you do not need much. but to get further, like past 400 corruption, you actually have to do some defence maths.

this is my pov, im like 250 hours into the game.

[merry smelt]

I think that since resists work different here than in PoE or other ARPGS, I'd put both crit avoidance, and endurance, over resist capping, just try to get as much res as possible without sacrificing everything else

[humble ruin]

Okaym what is the reason the gambling is so slow? why is it gated behind time?

instead of like, you know, gold?

[little forum]

hi im new here and new to the game, how do I track quest using the journal? my journal doesnt seem to pop out when I press J

[ripe quartz]

wait. is journal still a thing? i just track the quests from the map ui.

[cloud kindle]

That's it, the journal is now accessible from the map

[acoustic thicket]

Yo...Sry if not the right place but unsure how to do this - have a pastebin of a loot filter but its .txt file...how to make it .xml? so it works in game?

[barren iris]

Do you ever not pick an exalt because of a bad base/mod combination ?

[cloud kindle]

Copy the content of the TXT file. Then, in game, create a new loot filter and select "Create from clipboard"

[acoustic thicket]

@cloud kindle thanks a lot

[humble ruin]

How many bosses did it take ofr you to get Wings of argentus?

[ebon fossil]

Anyone having crash issues? Trying to start an Echo and my game just freezes.

[knotty hinge]

Have you tried verifying your game files in Steam? I've seen a few people mention this issue.

[ebon fossil]

I bought the game from Steam. So i dont think it has anything to do with that

Its only since the new patch

[knotty hinge]

That's typically how something like this occurs. Try verifying your game files by right clicking Last Epoch from your Steam library->Properties->Local Files->Verify game files

[winter drum]

if lastepochtools says "dropped from : XXX (zone level 100+)"

does it just means that it drops from the empowered version of that boss?

[knotty hinge]

yes

[winter drum]

alright thanks

[smoky estuary]

Hey Everybody, i need advice how the teleporting Strike Passive of Mana Strike (MageClass) works. It states that Mana Strike is now ranged. Does Melee Damage still scales? It doesn't loose the melee Tag. ty 🙂

[balmy current]

Yes, it's still melee, just doesn't require you to be in melee range. You know, like all of PoE's melee skills...

[smoky estuary]

^^ ty

[stoic loom]

are there any beginner builds to learn the game with?

[balmy current]

Yup, Boardman21's done a bunch of 1-75 guides, McFluffin's done a bunch of "LE University" videos

[stoic loom]

i find his videos hard to distinguish between starter builds and builds that require lots of gear. i dont know if its the same like in poe

[ripe quartz]

@stoic loom you mean boardmans builds? the ones that say 1-75 are leveling builds.

[analog sierra]

yo guys. Did the devs say anything about online features? I'm a bit lost 🙂

[minor vigil]

!multiplayer

[ripe brook]

Multiplayer is still being worked on. Here's an update: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/patch-0-9-and-multiplayer-are-coming-next-year/27563.

[stoic loom]

I mean his regular non levelinf builds

And how easy is it to respec after the levelling?

[knotty hinge]

Very easy. Just keep in mind that you cannot respec your mastery.

[ripe quartz]

^ mastery is the only one. other than that it only takes some gold for passives and time/effort for releveling skills if you're changing those. just dont swap all of your skills at once.

[stoic loom]

any cant fail recommendations?

[brittle atlas]

poison lich, archer/mage skele necro, bleed warpath

I'm sure there are more, but those are the ones I know best personally

lightning sorc

[burnt wigeon]

about "High health enemies ....." Mono Modifier. is that monster that currently have high or max health and mods stop affect them when health goes lower (and above what%) OR is it monsters that always have higher health than others, like many of the big monsters and mod always affects them?

[brittle atlas]

It's enemies over 75% iirc

[burnt wigeon]

ahh so its for all and not just big guys.

thx (edit: found out ingame tooltip says its 65%)

[clear mural]

is there a specific level range for idols per size??? If i am seeking 1x1 should i run early maps only. seems like i never see them anymore at a high level.

[uneven musk]

I have been gone for about 3 months or so, I was thinking of starting a new character. Any recommendations on something easy to pick up? Not picky on playstyle. I have a lvl 64 Shaman and 66 Marksman

[brisk mirage]

How do i unlock empowered timelines? I finished all timelines and connections between islands.

[brittle atlas]

go the middle area between the level 90 timelines

[carmine palm]

Try a necromancer with the new zombie skill

[marsh radish]

Guys is there a way to leech from poison DOT's?

[frozen perch]

If you're an acolyte, there's an affix for chest/helm that is 'damage leeched as health while transformed', but that's all I know of

[frigid orbit]

Bleeding Heart Amulet should work. But its other stats are bad...

[burnt wigeon]

i get some in Lv100 Areas. maybe your filter hides them all?

[vapid aspen]

Yes. As long as your leech doesnt specify on hit it will work.

[lament galleon]

if i am dual-wielding 2 axes with different dmg are my hits dealing different amounts of damage depending on which one i swing or is it added of both for each swing or is it an average ?

using beastmaster swipe if that matters

[balmy current]

Everything except the attack speed implicit are added up together.

[lament galleon]

ok thanks, so each swing is the same no matter if the animation is left or right hand

[balmy current]

yup

[frigid orbit]

And attack speed is averaged, isn't it? 1.2 means 20% more. Together with a 1.1 weapon both together should yield 15% more attack speed.

[balmy current]

the attack speed implicit is averaged, everything else is added

[balmy current]

Yup

[marsh radish]

Guys does this node work with bleed?

As far I know bleed is physical damage over time?

[brittle atlas]

yes

[marsh radish]

thanks

[proud haven]

anyone knows the drop rate of formosus boots? im like 10/15 runs in and i cant find them wth

[cloud kindle]

Around 15%

[proud haven]

ah, it's always nice to know im unlucky 👍

[jaunty marlin]

Just hit 55 on my lightning blast char, have all the idol slots/passive points what now?

[balmy current]

yup

[brittle atlas]

hit up monoliths

[balmy current]

if you've completed the campaign

[jaunty marlin]

should I worry abour resists/any breakpoints/respeccing yet?

[cloud kindle]

Only when you feel the need

[burnt wigeon]

75% all or most Res is recommended/good. Also try get much Crit Avoidance

[lament galleon]

is there a way to target farm set-items or is it random ?

i have found the pebble-belt like 4 times allready but non of the other items of that set

[tidal sphinx]

with the different packs, is there any armor sets tied to the specific packs? or is it only a different pet?

[balmy current]

No

[abstract pecan]

only pets and up to a certain tier only

[tidal sphinx]

so there isnt much difference between the 260 and 400 pack besides the pet size increase and the amount of Points you get right?

[abstract pecan]

yup

[tidal sphinx]

hmm, thanks

[cobalt ridge]

When a skill says Global increased, does that means it increased all crit?

[balmy current]

all of yours, yes

[cobalt ridge]

rightio, so it isn't going to do anything to minions then?

[balmy current]

correct

[cobalt ridge]

Trying to find ways to pump my minion crit rate up, but not having a great deal of luck finding good sources

[jaunty marlin]

Aren't resists important for end game mono farming? Was looking at a late game build for lightning blast, the guy didnt even bother with 50%+ in any res

[knotty hinge]

Teleport has a node which increases ele resists after use. He was probably using that. Having resists is important but it’s not as necessary to have them capped as other games.

Such as sacrificing a suffix slot just to go from 70% to 75% for a specific resistance isn’t always worth it.

[jaunty marlin]

Is there any logic to picking which cardinal direction on the mono tree to go, or just pick a direction, go deep and pick the rewards u want along the way?

[balmy current]

nope

just go whatever way you want

[cloud kindle]

It really depends on your build

[jaunty marlin]

yeah I think this was why, makes sense

[wise violet]

Does Ancient Overgrown Alcove have a purpose? I don't see any continuation at the end of this.

Or am I just bugged?

[cloud kindle]

I'd say it's a placeholder for later

[wise violet]

was hoping that was all. okay, thanks

[jaunty marlin]

Any reason to not do this immediatly? This is the corruption boss I've heard about right

[brittle atlas]

Yes. In general, it's not super worth doing in normal timelines

corruption is capped to 50 and it's generally better to just get enough stability to do the quest echoes and move on to the next timeline

[craggy elbow]

Is multiplayer coming along well and how long do we estimate til it's in a state available to people?

[abstract pecan]

They haven’t revised their 2021 estimate for MP release. So you can expect it within 6mths

[craggy elbow]

cool, thanks for the estimate. Hoping to play with my brother but can't justify playing alone.

[gentle void]

if u die in arena on hc is your character perma dead?

[brittle atlas]

yes

[gentle void]

nice

[wise violet]

Is "+x% chance to shred armor on melee hit" require a skill that shred's armor or this effect makes all melee hits have a chance to shred?

[brittle atlas]

all melee hits will have a chance to shred

[balmy current]

It requires a melee skill

[wise violet]

Okay, thanks. I think I keep trying to read deeper into effect text than necessary, but amazing how a single word can change meanings so much

[jaunty marlin]

stacking freeze multi a thing? Looks like a turd sandwish, i assume it is

[vapid aspen]

I mean its not unusable. Might be an ok post campaign / early to mid monos thing?

[pseudo cipher]

Stacking freeze multi is a thing, and thats a very good item for it

[jaunty marlin]

What kind of stuff can you expect to get from arenas? Is it worth going out of my way to get the keys early game

[knotty hinge]

Arena is mostly used for the leaderboards or high experience at higher wave counts. I prefer mono grinding as you're probably working on your initial blessings + XP tomes are pretty nice.

[pseudo cipher]

It's no longer clear that arena is better for XP even under ideal circumstances (that's not to say it isn't, but that Mono has gained so much ground that it would require significant testing to know for sure). Because of this, and what tny said about the additional mono rewards, arena has been pretty much relegated to testing builds and leaderboard pushes (which is where I think it should be).

[burnt wigeon]

No, dont go farm keys. You will get enough Key and Gold keys in monos

and only use gold keys imo

[jaunty marlin]

Thanks, just gonna ignore arenas for now. Any reason not to get enough stability for the 3 timeline quests then do them all back to back?

[brittle atlas]

nope, that's generally the way to do it

[jaunty marlin]

Grimoire of Necrotic Elixers a decent relic in early monos for a lightning sorc? The Less damage from void+necro on potion use seems very good

[brittle atlas]

I would say generally no

you won't scale the damage from it very well and you'd likely get more out of a sorcerer specific relic

both offensively and defensively

[vapid aspen]

I wouldn't say ignore arena entirely. It is almost certainly better for early xp (like, assuming you don't wanna do campaign, you can jump in arena at lv20-25 and get yourself to 40 very quickly, then start monos with enough power to clear them in reasonable timeframes)

[brittle atlas]

My feeling is that doing that is probably not super efficient, right? like xp is free af atm, so I can't see really gaining much from skipping/delaying doing the campaign until later. You're gonna want to get those skill points/idols anyways, so may as well do it when the content still gives you xp. yeah? certainly depends on the character and when they get powerful, but I feel like a lot of builds probably won't have major issues finishing the campaign at a decent speed

I'd need to time myself I guess, but idk. Something like lich is probably going to be relatively the same in a non-ssf situation

[vapid aspen]

Arena will get you lv40 much sooner than story. Then you rush to empowered monos, so you can tell as early as possible if the build is worth continuing. The story doesn't have enough difficulty to give you an idea of the strength of your build

[brittle atlas]

I guess if you're questioning the strength of your build?

I'm just thinking from a pov of already knowing that I'm playing is probably fine for endgame

and time spent

since leveling is such a small portion of the time I'll play a character anyways

[vapid aspen]

Also you may not even know if the playstyle is enioyable. You might have something super strong with warcry going on, but then realize later on that you cannot stand playing it because of warcry noises.

Or like, you may not know if the core mechanic of your build works. You might be sitting there saying "ofc tempest strike will proc decimate, it has spell tag, elemental tags, and its a skill I activate" only to find out it doesn't.

I want to find out it doesn't as quickly as possible lol.

[jaunty marlin]

How does endurance work? It seems very fucky

[brittle atlas]

if you're under your endurance threshold, you get damage reduction equal to your endurance %

by default that's 20% DR under 20% of your max hp

iirc

[vapid aspen]

Pretty sure answer is yes but want to be sure: if you are above your threshold will your endurance still help against part of a big hit that would take you below it?

[brittle atlas]

as far as I know, yes

[solemn meadow]

Question, can anyone please tell met wat the circle thingy is above my head ?

[turbid raft]

stun effect.... its bugged visually once in a while im pretty sure

[wise violet]

what happens if you dont finish a monolith (without dying) or upon finishing you don't use your portal? does it count as fail?

(ie. exit game or something or quick travel to story or something)

[brittle atlas]

In the first case it doesn't count as failed. You can still get stability and rewards by re-running the node.

In the second case, you pass the node, gain the stability, but do not get the rewards.

[cosmic shard]

is there a way to figure out what keywords affect damage more than others?

anyone know why we have an extra idol quest?

[knotty hinge]

I think that one is for the top row

[gentle void]

they are all unlocked

thats why im asking why there is an extra quest

[versed willow]

mustve been an oversight

i dont doubt there will be a few more idol slots when more storys in

[gentle void]

DOES MY IDOL SETUP TRIGGER U?

caps

[versed willow]

no

[gentle void]

:p

[vapid aspen]

Yes

[versed willow]

does mine?

[vapid aspen]

Yes

If it doesn't have rotational, horizontal, vertical, and diagonal symmetry its not a viable build

[gentle void]

yeah i agree

but this is all i got for this solo hc guy rn

[vapid aspen]

Problem is... There is only one way to have all 4 of those

[versed willow]

please display the one way

i wish to be enlightened

[gentle void]

let me fix it for u

[vapid aspen]

Pc is off

[versed willow]

then turn it on

But I woke up 10 minutes ago

[versed willow]

[icy drift]

is there a way to reset a monolith to get rid of all mods?

[versed willow]

nop

youll have to play them off

[icy drift]

and they only count down when you finish an area right?

[versed willow]

ye

[icy drift]

so if you get mods bad enough to make it almost impossible to clear areas you're screwed lol

[versed willow]

well

if its like

really really really bad

you can always grind a lower monolith

get some better stuff

then come back to the one ur struggling with

[icy drift]

true enough, i just think it's kinda dodgy since stuff like the chance to dodge mod can really screw over a build at its core, now i haven't run into this situation luckily but i can see it happening

feels like there should be a way to reset it with a penalty of some kind

[versed willow]

possibly

u can always put some resetting mechanic in #suggestions-and-like-to-see

[icy drift]

true, thanks

[gentle void]

yeah i dont think theyll do that

you chose those mods

live and learn :p

[versed willow]

suggestion is a suggestion

[gentle void]

yeah i know

they used to have the option before last end game patch

i believe

[icy drift]

while i agree it can possibly lock you out of ever completing that monolith without changing your build completely is my point

you should get punished for it for sure

but i feel like there should be a way to atleast maybe remove a mod at a heavy cost

[gentle void]

yeah remove mod for up to -1500 stability

mods*

[icy drift]

something like that

[gentle void]

not a bad idea

could make it cost corruption too

[frozen perch]

or make it completely reset the entire monolith. 0 corruption, 0 stability, reset map.

[versed willow]

thats a bit over the top

[frozen perch]

live and learn :p

[gentle void]

yeah i was also thinking about it removing rewards for the next however many u reset

rewards and stability

removed for 5 echoes or whatever per mod u remove

[icy drift]

yeah i feel like it should be bad enough to where it would make no sense to do it besides if you're legit locked out of being able to beat an area

[gentle void]

yep and removing rewards and stability does that i believe

[icy drift]

just as a failsafe for people that happen to find themselves in the situation

[gentle void]

remove one mod, no rewards for the next 3 echoes

but new mods still apply.

[icy drift]

i sent it in the suggestions channel, add to it if you feel like you have any good solutions for it

[gentle void]

yeah, in my opinion that just seems like a newbie friendly way to deal with it

but thats one thing you should always be looking at when you're progressing monoliths

is the mods and at that point you should know what your character can and cannot do

it is the 'end game'

anyway, i wont be adding anything to it because ive never had the problem myself, i was just giving you some ideas to help with your suggestion. like i said before, i dont think theyll implement something like that anyway

[versed willow]

the most i would see ehg doing is a way to roll back a single modifier and even that is pretty unlikely

[jaunty marlin]

Hey when people ask about arenas/arena keys one thing Ive never seen mentioned is if you want gold, early on the arena keys give like 4x more gold than a gold node

[jaunty marlin]

Is a Culnivars actually more damage than a well rolled prophecy wand or Obsidian sceptre? I don't at all see how this could be the case. It has 0 shock chance

[burnt wigeon]

90 spell dmg vs 2 x 90+ or 90+ and crit multi

[jaunty marlin]

do all affix shards have the same chance of success/fail as long as its the same tier/glyph being used?

[balmy current]

yes

the chance to succeed/fracture is based on the instability + (5% x crafting affix tier).

So if your item has 20 instability & you're crafting a t3 affix the chance to fracture is 20 + (3*5) = 35% chance to fail

[icy drift]

what are the droprates for the level 100+ legendaries from monolith bosses? Like Wings of Argentus, Strands of Souls and so on

[vapid aspen]

Varies. Some are really common (like, 2-3 kills tops) others can take upwards of 10-20

Also technically they aren't legendaries. There are no legendaries in the game yet.

[icy drift]

ah yeah my bad i meant uniques

so used to saying legendaries

[junior narwhal]

can I check that 'reactive ward' passive which gives ward when you drop below 70% health is useless when using exsanguinous?

I thought I'd just gain ward every 12 seconds

[balmy current]

No, it's not supposed to work like that

it triggers when your hp passes through 70%, not whenever it's underneath 70%

[junior narwhal]

thanks, so only one point to reach the retention passive

[jaunty marlin]

Lightning blast doesnt really seem to be outperforming lightning nova by much in ST, Am I doing something wrong?

Copied my tree from foes guide

[junior narwhal]

another question

if I have added lightning damage to my fireballs does sun and storms proc for both damage types?

or do they have to be a separate fire/lightning skill?

[balmy current]

The skill needs to have the fire &/or lightning tags, not just added damage of the appropriate element.

[junior narwhal]

okay thanks

so now my fireball has both tags

since I added lightning to it

so... I guess I can pop twice then

v handy to know

[jaunty marlin]

What are the usual ways to speed up movement speed? Outside of boots prefix/Ring implicits im not sure. I'd like to go a little faster in my monos

[brittle atlas]

Getting haste from something

Several uniques can provide haste

Otherwise, cool down reduction for your movement skill

[jaunty marlin]

Oh yeah great point.

I tried the ring but it seemed very underwhelming, I can fart longer than it lasts, it's like 1 second and 30% chance

[brittle atlas]

Yeah, most things with only give you 1 second

Will*

[jaunty marlin]

I didnt consider that CDR gives you Movespeed too

[brittle atlas]

What class are you?

[jaunty marlin]

ele nova Sorc

speak of the devil arbor

This just dropped

[jagged cradle]

How much armor do enemies have? or it just better to reduce their physical resistance? Ballista + Puncture build here.

[jaunty marlin]

I think it depends on the rate ur shredding

[brittle atlas]

I don’t think we know exactly, but both armor shred and phys resist shred are very strong

Phys resist shred is typically much harder to get, though

Armor shred has a lot of sources available

[jagged cradle]

Alrighty then. I'm using smoke to shred some armor off so when bleed gets converted into burst, it won't get resisted as hard.

[vapid aspen]

If you mean puncture node, afaik it doesn't interact with armor.

[jagged cradle]

Oh then only physical resist

[brittle atlas]

Yeah, it’s possible that burst damage retains its dot tag and thus ignores armor already?

[jaunty marlin]

The only way to get lightning res shred(outside of a unique) is with a blessing iirc, I assume its the same for phys. Armor shred is useful for all classes though. moreso for physical

[vapid aspen]

You can find phys shred on quite a lot. Dancing strikes, puncture for example

[jagged cradle]

I'm using bows so i can't use any melee skills.

[vapid aspen]

The only really rare resist shreds to my knowledge are lightning (because shock shreds), void, and poison (because poison innately shreds)

Puncture has a shred node right next to start and it is a bow skill

[jaunty marlin]

Is flat lightning pen bad because of shock? I assume its pretty underwhelm,ing

[jagged cradle]

Yea I'm getting that node since there isn't any good nodes to take as a support puncture skill.

[jaunty marlin]

How rare is beer? I got one during a bossfight (it's a renamed potion)

[vapid aspen]

I don't think lightning pen is particularly bad. Shred and shock both take time to stack up, so pen can do a lot of work whenever you can't stack them up.

[jaunty marlin]

Anyone else feel like the time to get through lvl 90 monoliths is a bit excessive? For me it seems to take ~5-6 hours of dedicated playtime.

[vapid aspen]

I think its pretty reasonable

Compared to old system

[tall garnet]

is "freeze rate per stack of chill" freeze rate multiplier?

[rigid cliff]

How's multiplayer coming along :P?

[twilit shoal]

! multiplayer

[ripe brook]

Multiplayer is still being worked on. Here's an update: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/patch-0-9-and-multiplayer-are-coming-next-year/27563.

[river fulcrum]

Hey, i have a problem with synchronised strike, when i engage a mobs pack, i sometime can't use that ability after i get hit. it usually happen with ranged mobs. i'm aware stun exist but it doesn't seems to be stun as i can use any other attacks, it only happen with synchronised strike. could anyone help me with that please ?

[cloud kindle]

Are you in positive mana?

[steel shale]

@river fulcrum ive experienced this with shift. I have to requeue the sync strike if its pressed at the same time as shifting.

[river fulcrum]

Yes i'm in positive mana

Is there something in option to queue skill ?

Like to force the use whenever my character can

[jaunty marlin]

does marked for death have any counterplay other than overstack res?\

[dark fox]

by default, I don't know any. There are some nodes that cleanse ailments, such as Molding for Shift, Purge for Eterra's Blessing, etc.

[balmy current]

And far superior

https://tenor.com/view/johnny-english-rowan-atkinson-secret-agent-comedy-spy-workingtitlefilms-gif-14976926

[balmy current]

No, other than the few methods that are available to purge ailments that Asophix mentioned.

[junior narwhal]

hi I'm trying to copy a pastebin loot filter link, but apparently there's nothing in my clipboard the game recognises as a link

Download as a text file then copy the content of the text file and paste it in the loot filter, it works fine

[haughty river]

Hey all, I have a question about skill points. If I put 5 points into druid to get entangled roots, can I keep just 5 points in that class and max out the skill?

[balmy current]

yes

[velvet sigil]

Ktoś PL ?

[dense remnant]

does increased% and reduced% mana cost apply after any added mana to a skill, or before?

[balmy current]

Flat changes happen first, then %

[dense remnant]

thanks ^^

[native storm]

hey all, anyone know what build I should try out using this?
Preferably not a minion build

[cloud kindle]

Maybe something around Spirit Plague?

[native storm]

So a DoT build with Lich?

[pale umbra]

That or a death seal, soul feast with hungering and aura of decay

[latent vale]

Hey guys,
just a little question about a recommendation for builds.
I tried a necro build and a mage build, but both aren't really fun to play ( just for me )
Do you guys have any recommendations for any build which is tanky and still deals a decent amount of damage?
Ty

[pale umbra]

do you prefer melee, ranged or minion style?

[latent vale]

mhh i really don't mind, but since the most minions just exists to nuke them, maybe melee

[pale umbra]

okay then select one of boardman21's paladin builds. The judgement or rive version with major investment into health regen will be a beast of a tank.

that does a lot of dps once you get to the higher levels. I prefer the rive version https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/trundlegods-judgement-paladin-0-8-1h/34932

[native storm]

Ranged > Melee > Minion

woops thought you were asking me 😛

[pale umbra]

np, but I did give you a lich combo that I would use with that staff with aura of decay focus on the soul feast side with armor shred

[latent vale]

Thanks you, really appreciate that. I will try that one out 😄

[vapid aspen]

What I would probs use that staff for would be a harvest + bone curse build. The increased necrotic on that is insanely good, you can get both bone curse and harvest totally converted to necrotic, and harvest can make up for missing flat with int scaling. Cast speed would make casting bone curse much easier. Harvest also gets necrotic shred and lich gets pen for it. Definitely a build with a lot of synergy. The concern would be if numbers are high enough to back it up.

[native storm]

I'll look into that as well. thanks for the suggestion!

[vapid aspen]

Would also be on lich. Basically every build with that staff is gonna be on lich, so make one and start mucking around ;)

[dense remnant]

rip blood build

convert it to necrotic, add the chaining with it, add blood splatter to it, ez

[strong dune]

Is there a way to auto cast?

[brittle atlas]

the same way you do it in d3- the "numlock trick" if you're familiar with it

[strong dune]

I’m not

I don’t think my MacBook Air has numlock lol

[brittle atlas]

set the alternate keybind for the skill to a numpad button, with numlock on hold down that bind and turn numlock off, which will basically hold down the bind for you

I'm not sure how you'd do it without a numpad or numlock unfortunately

[strong dune]

Ahh

[brittle atlas]

maybe someone else has experience with it

[latent vale]

You can do it with a numlock or just basiclly with makros from your keyboard/mouse/headset/whatever

[wheat brook]

Hey folks, so far enjoying the game, though what i've tried so far has mostly boiled down to just sort of.. pushing the same two buttons repeatedly, I'm looking for a build that's really engaging, not something like a Lich build I've seen floating around that only seems to activate reaper form then just smash the same 2 buttons

anyone got any suggestions? I don't mind if it's ranged or melee

[brittle atlas]

maybe look at Lizard's turbo vengeance?

[wheat brook]

I'll give that a look, thank you 🙂

[jaunty marlin]

I use all 5 keybinds every 10 seconds at leastish in lightning novsa

[nocturne sage]

what's lightning blast doing for your nova build?

[brittle atlas]

single target?

[nocturne sage]

ah!

[jaunty marlin]

Yeah, its big single target once u get the self chain and quadruple cast

feels like dogwater before that

[nocturne sage]

the self chain is way more awesome than you'd think it would be. i don't think the tooltip mentions it can stack, or maybe I misread or missed it, but finding out those stacks were responsible for the hella high crit rate and damage+ was a great day.

[jaunty marlin]

but lightning blast ive found might not be neccessary if u wanted u cud prolly replace it with that ascendant skill that ups mana cost. I havent tried yet tho in high corruption or anything

[frosty turret]

is there a setting to remove this opaque window? Kinda don't need it there if I have the minimap in the center of the screen

[brittle atlas]

the overlay map should get rid of it 🤔

[frosty turret]

restarting the game did the trick, just early access things

[jaunty marlin]

This base even decent? I've only played caster builds, but this seems promising possibly

[frosty turret]

Do you lose anything by sending crafting currency to the forge with the button in your inventory? If not, what's the point of having that button? Wouldn't it make sense to send them directly to the forge?

[knotty hinge]

You don't lose anything. Can't speak to your other question.

[ornate rock]

Does anyone know of any other reason besides timeline stability that would cause a quest echo to be locked?

... I'm in the first (lvl 55) monolith timeline, I'm @ 196 timeline stability, and the 2nd quest echo is still locked, despite claiming it needs only 120 timeline stability

[fierce kraken]

is this following the proper naming scheme? i thought the highest prefix takes priority.

[brittle atlas]

have you completed the first quest echo? you have to do all three in order

[brittle atlas]

I think class specific affixes have priority?

[pale umbra]

Yes, they do with the mage helm base

[little forum]

Noob Question: what does Ward do?

[versed willow]

basically its health with decay

[little forum]

wats that?

like instead of intant DMG, its slowly dmg decay?

[versed willow]

ok so health is what your character lives off

if you have 0 health you die

ward is like a shield except it decays over time

so if you have 25 ward, over a couple of seconds it will decay and eventually you will have none

providing it isnt taken out instantly by enemy damage

[little forum]

so it delays the damage instead of instant?

[cloud kindle]

no it gives you more life, you can see ward as a kind of energy shield

[rough trout]

Is Silver Shroud only consumed if your normal dodge fails or does it apply to the first incoming hit even if you would have avoided it with your normal dodge chance?

[jaunty marlin]

how long would it take with an optimized build to farm out some of these crazy levels of corruption I see? I assume people cheated those and aren't playing the game fulltime

[brittle atlas]

depends mostly how fast you can move

a good target is being able to clear each echo in a minute or less imo, with only certain unlucky spawns taking longer

I'd say on average you can expect about 1 corruption per 2 echoes you clear

so like my timeline with 444 (+344 from base) corruption has 644 echoes cleared

[balmy current]

It'll only be consumed if you fail the normal dodge. When Silver Shroud is consumed you auto-dodge the hit that would have damaged you & gain ward.

[little forum]

where can I farm Smoke Weaver?

dagger

[brittle atlas]

you can technically farm it in the mid-50 zones toward the end of the campaign, but it's a pretty low level base, so won't be very common

I've got all of mine just running empowered monos

[balmy current]

The level of the base should only affect it from gambling, it shouldn't (I think) affect how easy it is to get from world drops. It is flagged as rare

[brittle atlas]

afaik higher level zones have a lower chance to drop low level bases, right?

as of a recent patch

[balmy current]

But the rarity is rolled first, so I'm not sure if that has any impact on uniques/sets.

[brittle atlas]

is rarity rolled before base type?

[balmy current]

yup

that's why you can still drop an Exsanguinous

[brittle atlas]

I guess? it could technically still drop if the base rolled first, right

[balmy current]

No, 'cause the base was one of the ones removed when they made chest/helm/relics class specific

[frozen perch]

Which is why it's not gambleable

[spice crystal]

I did Liath's Tower before the patch, but I don't have my idol slots open... what do I need to do to fix it?

[dense remnant]

Assuming yes, but if you block a hit, is it still counted as you having taken a hit?

[balmy current]

Yes, all a block does is to give you some additional damage reduction to the blocked hit

[velvet sigil]

Jest ktoś PL ?

[jaunty marlin]

is there any way to use loot filter to show items based on gold value or quality of implicit roll IE An item rolls above X adaptive spellpower implicit

[frosty turret]

Is there a way to hide the beta version number in the top left corner?

[pseudo ocean]

@jaunty marlin I believe you can set loot filter to item must have a certain affix then under advanced options set what tier >= the number you want.

I remember seeing it but not playing with it too much

[random dock]

you can't filter by implicit range

[barren crypt]

have we heard anything else about it?

[gentle void]

why did stormsong block me in game? : (

[tight kernel]

gosh what's the easiest way to manage inventory?

[cosmic shard]

Hey guys, what are people's opinions of Fury Leap? I like it just cause it flies far and makes me feel like The Hulk, but it can hit pretty hard

[dark fox]

Don't pick up every item you find! You'll find a vendor soon enough. Gold will drop in abundance as you progress and you will need items with affixes that scale your abilities. You can also send runes and glyphs to their respective storage with a button.

[cloud kindle]

Sure it can hit hard, but it's considered slow and you're vulnerable while leaping.

[tight kernel]

when should i start to care about crafting... i'm level 10 so i just transfer everything and don't bother about learning the crafting system yet

[cloud kindle]

At any moment

Just keep the most rare shards

[tight kernel]

i don't wanna be upgrading low level gear though lol

[dark fox]

Depends on how fast you hit a wall. You could definitely delve into it any moment, as one tier higher affixes can give a sufficient boost to your stats

[cloud kindle]

You'll find tons of stuff and of shards. A crafted weapon can carry you through many levels. It's not really a waste of resources

[dark fox]

You would want to craft every so often once mobs start hitting hard, and skill scaling becomes less effective

[tight kernel]

yeah that's what i thought, if i hit a wall then i can start looking at these

i've only specialized on one skill thus far

is there a way to see what my base dexterity is?

[balmy current]

on the character screen

and unequip all gear

though the only class that starts with non-zero dex is the Rogue.

[tight kernel]

when it says multiplicative, what does it mean?

if my gear has +17% crit chance, it's 3% + 17% or 3% x 17%?

[balmy current]

If you had 17% crit chance, that node would make it 17%*1.03 for Cinder Strike

[tight kernel]

ah i see... okok

[peak knot]

Will a chain skill rechain the same target if there's only 2 people? So say if your skill can chain 12 times, will it chain back and forth between those 2 mobs 12 times or stop at 2?

[pale umbra]

ex: on the shield throw ricochet node the shield will go between mobs to the count total as long as you do not interrupt it or grab it by running in its path.

[peak knot]

@pale umbra OK so it does, wondering about that with lightning blast, but it should work the same given the same mechanic, I'm working on an on hit high cast speed chain spark build, so if this works the way I think it does, spark explosions for days 😀

Now I just need mana on hit so I can sustain ascendance for st

I COULD get 16 total chains but I think that's way too much to be honest

[jaunty marlin]

how much gold an hour can an optimized build farm?

[vapid aspen]

More than enough

[jaunty marlin]

@vapid aspen Orian's 32 mill average begs to differ

[vapid aspen]

Don't fall into sunk cost fallacy land

You don't get closer no matter how many times you try for it

When things have chances that low I consider them items that do not exist period

Until I have one I pretend its a drop disabled item

If your build needs it and you don't have it that means it is a bad build

[jaunty marlin]

My build doesn't need it but what else would you even bother spending gold on? You cant get exalted items from gambling iirc.

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/eoyXq9Bl Anyone have suggestions on what blessing/gear piece is my weakest and should be improved?

[brittle atlas]

go get lightning res shred from empowered lagon asap

[vapid aspen]

All my gold goes to stash tabs

I have over 50 now

15 tabs of "idols I will eventually sort through and sell the bad ones"

[acoustic thicket]

!trade

[vapid aspen]

Trade is going to be different from trade in other games. No auction house, no outside tools. Its also gonna be coming with or after multiplayer, and it is going to take place at some location that you travel to.

That is everything we know to my knowledge

[acoustic thicket]

being the same depth from poe trade but with much better QoL and quality, thats enought

[strong dune]

Is it gonna be better qol if there is no AH?

Kinda contradicting

[balmy current]

We don't know what they're going to do with trade other than this. https://imgur.com/r1Uptv0

Everything else is just conjecture. Maybe there will be an AH (like they said in their previous blog about trade), maybe there won't & they've changed their minds...

[steel shale]

In general, is 75% dodge or 100% glancing blow better? One is more consistent and the ither negates more damage. Is there a breakpoint where one is “technically” better?

[brittle atlas]

depends what you want to gear your survival towards

dodge is better against a barrage of many smaller hits

glancing blow is better vs 1-shots

until you get to the point of everything 1-shotting you regardless

then dodge at least gives you a chance to avoid them

[crude ridge]

do i have to cap my resistances to 150 if i want to get 75% res at lvl 100 maps?

[random dock]

no 75% is enough

just watch it around enemies that have the shred resists mod on them

[vapid aspen]

You can argue to take lightning to like, 85%. Like if you can get an extra 10% lightning just by going up to tier 5 on last resist mod or something do it.

[minor vigil]

the resistance penetration from area level happens after cap

so it only affects shred

[cloud kindle]

Fighting Rahyeh in an unusual place. First time I see him move there. Did that already happen to someone else?

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/stash-category-duplicate/40684

If anyone has a miracle idea!

[knotty hinge]

The current endgame content scales slowly so it will become challenging or impossible for different builds at various times.

[knotty hinge]

I don't know the status of anything listed that isn't already in the beta, you'd have to cross reference the development forecast. You can read about some of the other systems on their kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lastepoch/last-epoch. They are below crafting.

[jaunty marlin]

Is there any trick to quickly stacking corruption?

[knotty hinge]

Keep pushing outward, you can complete quests to eat up modifier uses. It generally just takes a lot of time.

As a reference here is where I'm at for completed echoes vs corruption.

[jaunty marlin]

@knotty hinge Do you just always run into random dead ends?

And then have to go the complete opposite way on the tree, that's been my experience. Seems like a waste of time to push a direction and then get cucked by rng

[knotty hinge]

I don't typically run into super dead ends but I have no problem doing a +9 if that's what I hit. I've done about 10 shade fights with < +5 corruption either due to terrible modifiers in all directions or rng as you stated.

I've seen a lot of people/streamers really focus on getting 12 or more but I'm not down to risk going a totally different direction for 3-6 more corruption. I also really really really enjoy the shade fight.

[jaunty marlin]

I assumed you had to go further every time to get the additional corruption is that not truye?

[knotty hinge]

I don't actually know. I thought something like that might be happening but it was so subtle over 1k+ echoes that I never noticed. Currently at 13 completed echoes on this mono run and a shade gives +4.

[jaunty marlin]

does corruption increase exalted node frequency?

[knotty hinge]

Further out yes. My initial nodes are always xp/gold/shards/glyphs upon reset.

I have yet to encounter exalteds immediately upon reset.

[balmy current]

It is, the higher your corruption the further out you need to do a shade to get an increase to corruption.

closer in Shades will reduce your corruption

[tight kernel]

is there a difference which tier of items you use Rune of Shattering on?

like if an item consists of tier 2 and 1 stats, if the tier 2 stat gets picked to be obtained, is there like a tier 2 shard or just a generic shard?

[vapid aspen]

In my experience higher tier gives increased quantity of that shard

[tight kernel]

ahhh okok

i'm below level 20 so items are all tier 1s with tier 2 sometimes

do higher level gears drop with higher tier stats or is it still 1s and 2s?

[knotty hinge]

They can drop with higher tiers. There are even Tiers 6 and 7 which can only be obtained via dropped loot (you can't craft higher than tier 5).
