[gentle void]

have you done arena on your lich yet

arbor

[brittle atlas]

nope

[gentle void]

curious how high it can go

[brittle atlas]

it's probably worse for arena than crit lich

[gentle void]

still, curious

[cyan bough]

Wait, how do you use build planner/view the skill trees?

[brittle atlas]

S to open skills, P to open passives

[cyan bough]

ty!

[brittle atlas]

first go was like 267 lol, build is just very bad at handling waves of ranged enemies early into a given map

needs time to set up stacked spirits to have any kind of "burst"

also it can't abuse aurora's time glass

[sturdy mango]

Yo, is there a way to boost some levels quickly? I been doing monoliths and did some arenas, but figured there is probably a way to maximize experience if you are just focus on leveling?

[knotty hinge]

empowered monos and grab the xp books/arena monos.

[brittle atlas]

if you're still in normal monos, just keep progressing towards empowered

try to be quick in echoes and maximize your stability gain, finish the quest echoes, and move to the next timeline asap

should be like...15-20 echoes on most timelines to finish

[sturdy mango]

ah okay, so I been just pulling groups of mobs and stuff, so just focus on finishing them quickly?

I have quite a few arena keys

Thanks btw

[brittle atlas]

Yeah, just rush the objective generally

[sturdy mango]

okay, I am fixing to unlock the 85 timeline

after 90 I need to get the 2h mace to switch my build over to EQ werebear then I can just push for empowered i guess?

thing is im like 75 in 85 timeline

[brittle atlas]

Yeah,being underleveled isn't a big deal

you'll generally start empowered in the low-mid 80s

[balmy loom]

anyone know if the effects of barrage of pain and perfect aim are global?

[dusty rock]

Where is God Hunter Argentus? The one that drops Wings of Argentus. Wiki says Argentum Spire, but where is that?

[cloud kindle]

He's the boss of timeline 60

If you want the wings, they drop only in empowered mode

[simple ice]

I have 2 questions:
1- Is the game controller supported?
2-Will the character data be wiped on release or does it go into like a standard league like POE?

[brave ibex]

Is Efficacious Toxin worth using? 10% non-stackable increase seems pretty weak?

[dusty rock]

Ty!

[frigid orbit]

1. Yes, it has but it is still a work in progress and I think you need a mouse/keyboard for some interactions like buying stuff. But I never tried it myself.
2. No. Currently there are no leagues/seasons yet but they will in the future. When multiplayer releases your current characters will stay as offline-characters and still be available. But for multiplayer you have to create new ones.

[simple ice]

@frigid orbit thanks for that!! appreciate it

[balmy loom]

whats base mana regen?

[frigid orbit]

I think it is 8 mana per second

[cloud kindle]

yes, 8

[acoustic thicket]

Yo does anyone know how long until purchases go through? Bought the game from site, been a few hours

[junior narwhal]

uhhh that's odd

instant for me. you sure your payment was taken?

[plush oracle]

how to see friends list?

sorry if stupid queston

[dusty rock]

H, I think, I have it unbinded xd but you can go to settings, and check keybinding

[plush oracle]

true lol

[indigo plinth]

Hey guy , come back after a few month and looking for a new build to play
I'm totally in love with build like this https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/speed-running-shaman-avalanche-maelstrom-0-8-2f-build/38841
I'm looking for something tanky and minimal button too press

[hollow socket]

@indigo plinth Lich (Acolyte) has a few decently tanky builds that are easy to use.

There's a popular poison autobomber around, for example.

[cyan bough]

How do you use shards?

I have like 40 of them hoarded but I'm super confused on how I craft with them

Wait, I figured it out

There's a button to deposit the items, I am smart

[indigo plinth]

@hollow socket Oh interesting

Do you have a linnk or build name to share?

[loud harbor]

Hey guys, sorry quick question, I've just gotten to the Monolith endgame and I am not sure about the stability - is there any reason to continue doing echoes after you unlock the third quest?

(Other than to farm loot/xp, of course.)

[knotty hinge]

If you're just reaching normal monoliths you'll want to gain enough stability to run the 3 quests then move onto the next timeline.

[loud harbor]

I am for now, yes.

Alright, thanks :) I'll check back later haha when I start with more advanced stuff :D

[knotty hinge]

Completing the 3 level 90 timelines will unlock legendary (empowered) monoliths which are level 100 and reward improved blessings among other benefits.

[hollow socket]

@indigo plinth https://youtu.be/5fYgDkTbd-0 copied it from a link in a different chat here, but this seemed like it.

And to the others here: If I convert Maelstrom to physical, but add cold damage via Shaman's "shattered heavens", will that be converted?

[marsh maple]

No

only the base damage will be

so for instance

if you convert maelstrom to phys

and have adaptive spell damage

it will convert to phys

but if a node specifies a damage type

I.e. shattered heavens

it will stay that damage type

so for instance blade of the forgotten knight gives you like 50 flat spell void damage

it will act as void damage even if you add it to something like fireball for instance

[hollow socket]

That's very useful to know. If the node specifies "adds base x damage", that would convert, right?

[marsh maple]

no

oh

I think so

im not sure

tbh

it should

its all wording soup

[snow spruce]

If the conversion says that it converts the base damage only, and there's a node that says it adds another type of damage, that is not base damage, its added damage.

[hollow socket]

For reference, hungering souls' "necrotic pact" adds base necrotic damage.

It would make sense if it did that because otherwise, using "fire skull" would render it useless.

That's why I think added base damage is converted, but it may not be correct.

[snow spruce]

Yes, that's the exception and not the rule usually -- it does specify base necrotic damage.

[valid mango]

hi, noob question: when I respec a skill and it lowers down to it's minimum level, what's the fastest way for me to get it to 'catch back up'? As an example I had level 11 skeleton warriors and they went down to 4

[snow spruce]

Play normally at that point is probably best, its easy and catches up relatively fast

[cursive reef]

Guys, question:

Bone golem has a node that makes him cast Rip Blood, does the rip blood cast by my Bone Golem is affected by my specialized skill Rip Blood?

[snow spruce]

No, I do not think that it does.

[cursive reef]

Alright, thanks!

[balmy current]

No, minions never cast your skills unless it explicitly says they do.

[upper halo]

Hello everyone. When I got the game I started it at 20 fps. I changed quality settings, frame rate limits, shadows quality, any resolution and any screen mode. Steady fps. I thought dck this its still playable and and I passed lvl 44 on the campaign and then some mobs doing lightning damage reduced it to 5fps with their lightning effects.

This is my old rig

GE70 2PE Apache Pro
4th generation Intel® Core™ i7 Processor
DDR3L 12GB
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M
GRAPHICS VRAM 2GB GDDR5
750GB HDD 7200rpm

[hollow socket]

Bone curse's "ruptured corpse" doesn't specify a damage type. Does it adapt to the ability's damage or is it always physical?

[plush oracle]

that is a very old rig

all settings to low?

[dreamy kiln]

Yeah the lightning does bring FPS down a bit more than I think it should, generally speaking

[dreamy kiln]

Kind of odd thing happened I usually play in ultra and get about 50-60 FPS in 4K but change it to "low" setting just to see what it looked like and the game crashed:
Windows Error Reporting:

looks like it was the drive that caused the crash.

using driver version 471.11 (nividia 3070)

so would the driver be at fault (needs clean install maybe) or the game at fault (file check via steam)?

[vapid aspen]

best to take that to forums.

[balmy loom]

raptor skill dripping blood. Does it mean double damage or faster damage? If its faster I dont see the point if its double its a nice skill

[sage siren]

can buy any sword to get volcanus in gamblingwwwwww

yes it can

[knotty hinge]

Sorry was looking at the old one

You need to gamble the appropriate base item

So Flamberge

[sage siren]

o ok think you so much tny

is there a eayer way to get the item?

easy

[ripe quartz]

gambling or farming i'd guess.

dont know which one is easier.

[plush oracle]

rogue or hobo animal wisperer better for bleed and blood stuff

[thick rock]

Are the physical items like shirt and game pad and stuff something that will get sent when the game releases?

Realized its been like 6 weeks since I bought the extra pack with all that stuff and havent heard anything

[rain moat]

Can you show a picture of the node?

[tight kernel]

may i check... does the + bow physical damage add to my base damage of bow skills or no?

[brittle atlas]

Yes, it’s flat damage for bow skills

[tight kernel]

so does the + bow fire damage add to my base damage as well or is it separate from base?

if it is a non-fire bow skill like flurry

[tight kernel]

i presume it adds to cinder strike but not sure if and how + bow fire damage works for flurry

[snow spruce]

It's added damage, not base damage.

[brittle atlas]

It’s flat damage, it applies to all bow attacks.

It isn’t base damage

[nova sail]

Hi there! Is there any way of picking items from the floor without attacking or using an ability? I wish I could use 5 skills of my desire and not be limited to asign the right or left mouse to the basic attack ability just because I need to pick up items

[random dock]

you can change it to move only or move/break boxes

[tight kernel]

Will the +14 bow fire damage be buffed by things like increased fire damage

[snow spruce]

Yes

Take a look at the community game guide (https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/community-game-guide/26057) it'll help you understand how damage is calculated, among other things

[plush oracle]

maybe contact them idk? i think some people already got the pad if i remember correct

[neon creek]

Does anyone else have sound stuttering? My specs https://pastebin.com/6FfZCyxb

[analog stump]

does shred armor affect bleed?

[gentle void]

no

armor protects against hits

[tight kernel]

do we actually need internet connection to play last epoch...

just wondering if i can play on a plane without internet

[cloud kindle]

You need Internet connection to start the game, but not after.

[dreamy kiln]

for starters your graphics driver is out of date Driver Version: 471.11 should be the latest driver

[grave matrix]

Hello Guys! I have a question!

Shards are shared between characters?

or i need to move to my inventory then stash

[dreamy kiln]

yeah crafting shards are shared

[grave matrix]

thanks Drunkguy

[visual dune]

Trying to find out how to get apathys maw. Is it only empowered lvl 100 Oryboross?

or can I gamble it

[frigid orbit]

Cant gamble it

[visual dune]

ok thanks. I think I've went into the monolith early. I think I need to u nlock the rest of my passive pts and stuff

[frigid orbit]

It may be an empowered only drop but I'm not sure right now

[lusty salmon]

is there anywhere i can look at like a list of stat priority per build or class? trying to wrap my head around gearing and building right now lol

[frigid orbit]

Just check out the forums, there are plenty decent guides

[lusty salmon]

i havent really seen stat priority though

[frigid orbit]

As it is most often different for each build there will be no general list. Just try to get the information from the videos maybe. They often provide a buildplaner link

[hollow socket]

The way damage is calculated, having too much of one stat makes another more effective. It'll switch around frequently so I don't think people will go to the length and calculate a priority list for their build.

[frigid orbit]

For most skills there are generally 3 pools of accumulated multipliers: Flat damage, increases and cast/attack speed. You should try to distribute stats of these pools evenly, if they can provide you with a good benefit (for instant casts cast speed does nothing). Chance to bleed/poison/... can be of similar value if build around but are most often suffixes.
Any sources of more-like multiplier are often better when you have a decent amount of these base stats. Skill-Levels often can provide additional more multiplier with more skill points as can cooldown recovery.
Attributes are in most cases a compromise of some damage and defense like for int or strength (skill-specific scaling as well as additional armour resp. ward retention).

[balmy current]

You should try to distribute stats of these pools evenly I disagree with that. It's a lot harder to get hold of flat damage than it is the other two & it's easier to get hold of attack/cast speed than it is increased damage.

[frigid orbit]

Ok. Evenly was maybe a bad formulation I agree

You should always prefer the pool where the addition yields the biggest percentage increase when comapring to your current amount of these stats

[balmy current]

And due to more damage multipliers multiplicative nature, having more of them is usually better than having fewer of them (assuming the totals aren't too far apart). If you had the choice between 2x 50% more multipliers or 1x 100% more, the 2x 50% would be better (1.5 x 1.5 = 2.25 = 125% more damage in total)

[balmy current]

Yes, which is usually flat damage > attack/cast speed > increased damage.

[frigid orbit]

Yeah. Most often. Besides maybe some special builds and/or some talents which provide an unusual amount of soemthing

[dense remnant]

@balmy current aren't more modifers additive with each other?

but increased, more and crit multi are multiplicative with each other

oh nvmd, found it in the guide

[frigid orbit]

They are generally only additive within one source. For a talent which providing 10% more per point you have to add them first to get the final unique more multiplier

[balmy current]

Nope

[hollow socket]

I've tried a sacrifice build, but bone curse's cooldown with the bone arena is much too long to make the build viable.

Has someone here tried using skills like maelstrom, fury leap or tornado with the lightning addon nodes?

Those look like way too little damage for a lightning build.

[cunning sleet]

Is there a eta on when multiplayer will be released?

[hollow socket]

End of this year. I assume that's before christmas.

But they'll probably delay it if it isn't ready enough then - they say it's 90% finished or so though.

[cunning sleet]

Oh gotchya, thanks😁

[cyan bough]

Can I use a build guide for 0.8.1c, or is it too far gone?

[lusty salmon]

Second to that ^^^ what's the furthest back that's still applicable?

[hollow socket]

I warmly recommend trying out your own build, you can always come here and ask for feedback on it and what could go wrong or be improved.

[celest jasper]

dunno if anyone can answer me, but, do Forgestrike Minions take all stats of a Weapon or just base stats?

[woeful comet]

Does tempest strike's lightning bolt work with lagon's answer?

[worthy plover]

Does the item levels matter? Like throwing lower level uniques in favour of high level yellow items and for end game builds would it mostly be using yellow and purple items?

[celest jasper]

Depends on your build desonius but alot of unique are still used😊

[dense remnant]

@woeful comet the stuff in the passive tree is for 'Lightning Strike', Tempests Strike proc is 'Lightning Bolt' so no, 2 different things

oh you mean the proc doing a proc

yes

its a spell

or rather, i assume it does based on when i was trying that specific interaction

but its honestly kinda hard to actually figure it out

cus the build just has a lot of random stuff proccing

[woeful comet]

Yeah, that LB from Tempest Strike can actually proc Lagon's. Thanks!

[worthy plover]

Oh even ones that are like lvl 5s and all?

[celest jasper]

Unlikely but who knows

[worthy plover]

Hmm I see I just unlocked empowered monoliths and I haven’t actually temper with the loot filter yet will probably take sometime to look into it now

[dense remnant]

@woeful comet did some more testing just to double check, and im 50/50 on it

but thats mainly because i cant seem to get it to proc on anything

so im unsure if 1) it just doesnt work on the dummy, or 2) its not a seperate damage number

okay doesnt work on the dummy lol

@woeful comet okay last ping:
From what I can gather from testing with the passives in, and with them out, and using temepest strike on no enemy but surrounded by enemies, Tempest Strike procs the lagons answer lightning strike. If the procs do or don't seems impossible to figure out, as you'd never know if it was tempest strike, or the proc from it, that procced lagons answer lightning strike.

(basically if you have enemies behind and to your sides, and your using tempest strike on the ground in front of you with lightning bolt disabled in the nodes, lightning is hitting 1 enemy around you roughly every 3 seconds. So it appears that its tempest strike proccing it)

Would also assume that the 'target location' is literally just nearby based on this (which is the ring around the target dummy in the end of time)

[woeful comet]

Cheers for the prompt answer! I've noticed ever since I used the final node with those lightning strike multipliers on the passive tree, my damage has skyrocketed with tempest strike + stormtotem

[dense remnant]

Now the real interesting question, is wether tempest strike benefits from both melee attack speed, and cast speed 👀

cus for some reason i hadnt ever considered it was a spell until now lmao

[woeful comet]

So it must be poccing not just from the melee component, but the spell one too. I use it and big boom lightning eq, storm totem and ravens. Super fun build

[dense remnant]

okay doesnt take into account cast speed, rip

[woeful comet]

Eventually will get warcry, to replace blessing of etera

[undone glen]

so sometimes when i level up, there is an icon with a plus symbol that appears, but it just takes me to the skills menu and theres nothing there to do

the icon is like a side profile of a dudes head with a visible brain

[ripe quartz]

means new skill was unlocked.

[undone glen]

this would make sense

thankyou brother

[solemn meadow]

So are there any players that want to play and chat a bit in discord? would be awesome to talk with some experienced players 🙂

[gentle void]

ew i have a boyfriend

[solemn meadow]

LOL hahah

[calm wing]

xD

[tight kernel]

whut

[cloud kindle]

Maybe the problem is to gather at the same time. It's 1:00 PM here, it's work day, I have a meeting in a bit less than half an hour. I would be happy to share things about the game, but it's definitely not the good time for me

[solemn meadow]

We are in the same time zone so that is nice! and just let me now when you have time. ill be on till later this evening

[cloud kindle]

I may be playing this evening, probably up to 22:00

[solemn meadow]

Cool! please dm me if you have time and thnxs

[sage wedge]

As an acolyte, what HP (or other defensive layers) should I have for Lagon? I'm having trouble

[dark fox]

Generally you would want cold, lightning (beam, forward cone, tidal waves, moon circle) and physical res (tentacle slam, flayer shark adds).

[sage wedge]

My physical probably too low

And minions getting zorched

[sage wedge]

This is the first spot where the game has felt hard

which is a good thing

[brittle atlas]

volatile zombies to get a ton of ward based on your minion hp

[tight kernel]

does corruption improve loots or it just strengthens mobs?

[knotty hinge]

Corruption increases your item rarity.

[tight kernel]

oh nice

[tight kernel]

by how much? it doesn't say

[knotty hinge]

Look at your current monolith modifiers. It should be the one at the bottom with a purple skull

[tight kernel]

yeah but it doesn't say how much it increases rarity

only that it buffs enemy health and dmg

[knotty hinge]

Sorry, below the purple skull

[balmy current]

All the modifiers for loot/xp are rolled up into the figures at the bottom

[tight kernel]

ohhhhh okok

[long rain]

my lich feels super squishy

mhm

[brittle atlas]

what are your defenses like?

[long rain]

lemme check I am just leveling up

[brittle atlas]

what kind of build are you playing?

[long rain]

oh lol just noticed all my passives are reset too wtf

[brittle atlas]

old character?

[long rain]

yea

havent played in like 3 months

[brittle atlas]

yeah, the most recent major patch moved some lich passives around

so the trees got reset

[long rain]

ah right

[shrewd prism]

is it possible for me to mess up the monoliths if i die too much early game and dont have stability left?

i dont see a system to reset the monolith progression so

[brittle atlas]

No

you can always kill orobyss to reset a web

[shrewd prism]

ah okay i see thanks

[quartz jackal]

heyy ive been away from LE for a bit What class is meta atm?

[snow spruce]

All of them

[hollow socket]

There are meta builds for all the classes, none of them need to be avoided in that sense.

The most powerful ones are a poison lich and an EQ werebear at the moment.

But unless you wanna reach the top of the ladder, you don't need to limit yourself to these.

[brittle atlas]

poison lich isn't even a ladder pusher

[hollow socket]

Wait, isn't that your own build? ^^

No need to be humble.

[brittle atlas]

Yes, but it's not an arena build

if you're looking to push arena, then werebear, taunt necro, blade dancer are your top picks imo

[hollow socket]

Yeah, gotta admit that there's way more werebears up there😅

[balmy current]

That's because EQ Werebear is simple.

[ripe quartz]

i'd guess it's less about being humble and more about knowing their own builds strengths. 😁

[brittle atlas]

yeah, werebear is easy to play and can facetank a lot of stuff that deletes other builds

so it's quite forgiving of mistakes that would otherwise be run-ending

[cloud kindle]

Hi. I'm here, I'll go in a chat room

[solemn meadow]

give me 2 min

[valid briar]

hi is there any point to picking up any common/magic gear at all? I wanna know if I can just filter all of that

(also not sure if this is the right chatroom to ask)

[balmy current]

Magic gear is useful for crafting

it's easier to find 2 decent affixes than it is 4.

[valid briar]

oh oki

also by magic gear we are talking about the... i believe blue gear right

i just noticed it doesnt say the name of the rarity I think and also im partially color blind lol

[balmy current]

Yes.

Magic gear has 1-2 affixes, rares have 3-4

And exalted can have any amount but 1 (or more) will be t6 or 7 affixes (drop only)

You can check by the number of dots before/after the name (1 dot per prefix/suffix)

[valid briar]

ohh i havent seen an exalted piece of gear yet

ty

so commons can just be filtered out completely right?

[plush oracle]

fun to play builds?

[random dock]

you can filter out normal, magic, rare but make sure you have your filter setup properly before doing that

[brittle atlas]

Yeah, generally you'll hide everything and then whitelist stuff you care to see

like showing affixes or bases you want to your current or future builds, showing uniques/exalted items

showing idols or whatever

[cosmic shard]

Does any one know if there are some rating system in boardman's filters?

[ripe quartz]

wdym?

[cosmic shard]

Im used to filters having a rating system of like the shinier the color the better it is for me

from poe at least

for this, I think purple means it has a tier 6-7 mod

[ripe quartz]

BLUE - Mid Game Items (1+ Tier 3 Affix you need)

RED - Endgame Items (1+ Tier 5 affix you need)

YELLOW - ENDENDgame Items (3+ Affixes you want with 8+ total Tiers)

PINK - Exalted/Set/Unique Items

WARNING: Unused Base Types and Non ROGUE Class Items ARE HIDDEN

NEW: How to Use!

    This filter is designed to be used for leveling and for endgame. Green items are very basic items designed to get you going. Once you’ve reached level 20+ or notice lots of blue/red items. Uncheck all the green rules, as you no longer need basic items. Once finished with the campaign, you can also uncheck blue rules. Red/Yellow is all you need once your farming in endgame. This will significantly reduce the amount of items you see and they will be better bases.

[cosmic shard]

ah ok ty

[ripe quartz]

that's just an example from his latest leveling guides forum post.

[cosmic shard]

I was using it on my lvl 79 void knight so I wanted to be sure

[ripe quartz]

you can always check the forum post for the build of his you're following. it should have some sort of chart what the filters colors mean.

[cosmic shard]

I must have missed it

[ripe quartz]

you click that section open.

[cosmic shard]

I also didnt catch the "uncheck green and blue at high level

[ripe quartz]

looks something like this.

[cosmic shard]

ty

[ripe quartz]

enjoy. o/

[cosmic shard]

for the monoliths, do you guys do every possible as they come or just take one path to end and go from there?

[cosmic shard]

what's in the vessel of chaos?

[knotty hinge]

The description is available if you highlight it on the echo web.

[dense remnant]

just go for stability while progressing through to empowereds and getting blessings

only really go off of a straight line for exalteds

[cosmic shard]

ok

monolith lagon hits like a truck

[tight kernel]

Lol is there a way to dodge his electric beam

I just died a couple of times, unable to cast shift to dodge it like before

Just kills me

[knotty hinge]

It's telegraphed. He rears his head back, use that time to shift to the opposite side of the arena.

[dense remnant]

and fight him in the middle, not the edges (so you avoid baiting the beam into trapping you to the wall and killing you)

[cosmic shard]

I have modifiers that have a chance to slow me 😕

[knotty hinge]

You can complete other echoes to drop that one off if needed.

[cosmic shard]

im gonna take a break...

I think it has almost 100% increased health too

[tight kernel]

If I wanna gamble to obtain unique bow, is there a specific type of bow I need to buy to obtain specific unique or any bow is fine?

Looking at the one that grants +2 arrows to multishot

[rough trout]

You need to buy ones with the same base type

[cosmic shard]

Apathy's maw?

The main issue is likeacj of a move skill that doesn't require the target to be a creature, like sprint or fury slam

Lack

[rotund orchid]

where is the link?

[tight kernel]

is it actually worth having so much more resistance above the cap?

[brittle atlas]

no

resistance above the cap only protects against effects that reduce resistances, of which there are only a few at the moment

[thorny mason]

Hi guys, does this glacier build from 0.8.1c still work / is it still viable? https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/meet-berg-a-chilly-glacier-summoning-old-man-0-8-1c-no-uniques-required/30827

[brittle atlas]

in general, most things still work. the only major changes I can recall were to entangling roots and shadow daggers

[thorny mason]

alright thanks :D

[cosmic shard]

is there a way to compare your personal damage to that of your minions?

even on the dummy, i see tons of number fly everywhere and i cant add them up 😦

[brittle atlas]

not really

[cosmic shard]

my primalist beastmaster with average at best gear is doing better than my void knight at 60k dps

[brittle atlas]

tooltip dps is a pretty poor measure tbh

[tight kernel]

gosh still can't get past lagon mono

-.-

hours gone lol

[brittle atlas]

what's killing you?

[tight kernel]

sometimes the beam

sometimes his claw

i can't predict the direction of the beam

[brittle atlas]

I'm pretty sure it's always towards you?

like when he starts moving to do it

[tight kernel]

what if i stand right in the middle

[brittle atlas]

idk, it'll be to one side, but it's slow enough you just move away from it?

as soon as he moves to do the beam, you watch where he's going to be faced and move away from that

[cosmic shard]

im having trouble just cause I cant move fast enough sometimes with my void knight

[tight kernel]

ok finally cleared it lol

[brittle atlas]

T5 movement speed on boots is #1 priority

or even just the unique boots that shock you but have 30% movement speed

or transient rest or w/e

[cosmic shard]

I have like 30% move speed increase on my boots

[brittle atlas]

then you should be plenty fast to avoid all of the boss telegraphs

[cosmic shard]

I have modifiers that can slow me though

[gentle void]

invest in some chill chance homie

[cosmic shard]

im taking a break from void knight for now

[gentle void]

lagon is really one of the easiest boss fights as long as you can grasp the mechanics

i can do him with zero lightning or cold res and 600 hp

[cosmic shard]

I was ble to do it the first time flawlessly

[gentle void]

mods just making it difficult?

[cosmic shard]

probably

[gentle void]

he got speed mods or something?

[cosmic shard]

two mods that slow me.

[gentle void]

just dont get hit :p

[cosmic shard]

almost 100% increased health

Ill figure it out eventually

[gentle void]

i dont know, lagon was never a problem after the first time fighting him

[cosmic shard]

maybe my autocast was interfering

I feel like I have 10+ void balls floating around me

first time i ever died too

[gentle void]

wanna post your character sheet?

and the mods hes got on him

[cosmic shard]

how can I do that?

[gentle void]

screen shot?

[cosmic shard]

one sec

[gentle void]

with the defense tab selected please

[cosmic shard]

ok

defense

[gentle void]

yeah those mods arent even that bad

[cosmic shard]

how bad is the defense?

[gentle void]

and your defenses should be ok, if you're not in empowered

[cosmic shard]

nope

[gentle void]

you have 1300 hp

[cosmic shard]

yes

[gentle void]

yeah if you're really having trouble you can also go back toward the start of that monolith and pick some easy mods to roll those slows and other things off

do echoes close to the start

[cosmic shard]

is 1300 enough?

[gentle void]

yeah its plenty imo

[cosmic shard]

too me a while to get that much

[gentle void]

i rarely get over 1k hp on any of my characters

[cosmic shard]

I just piled as much vitality as I could

[gentle void]

but i focus on other mitigations first, then i work on hp

[cosmic shard]

I have a few things that has one damage type affect a different one

[gentle void]

ah yeah

either way there shouldnt be anything lagon does that one shots you

aside from the dot laser eye

[cosmic shard]

thats the only thing that does

I can practically ignore the claws

[gentle void]

yeah i like to stand on one side and when he backs his head up and eye turns red, i just move to the other side

[cosmic shard]

it would be a lot easier if I had a movement skill that didnt require a monster target to use 😦

[gentle void]

when you see him back his head and eye turn red, the laser will shoot where you were when his eye turned red

its actually very easy to avoid

also if u have something that stuns

like i believe lunge can stun

you can cancel him with it if you're in a bad position

[cosmic shard]

The first death was by accident and then I guess I panicked after that

[gentle void]

you should be lunging on him pretty much on cooldown anyway since you get a lot of buffs from lunge, no?

[cosmic shard]

ive been using Dreamthorn since the beginning

[gentle void]

youll be ok, just takes practice

yep dreamthorn is a fine weapon

[cosmic shard]

main reason I went void knight for my first knight

my beastmaster had an easier time cause I could fly across the map with fury leap and take my wolves with me

[gentle void]

yeah idk, u said u got 30ms at least so you shouldnt have any problems, even if you're slowed

everything lagon does is extremely well telegraphed

[cosmic shard]

30ms?

[gentle void]

move speed boots

[cosmic shard]

ya

I might give him the boots on my primalist cause it has tier 6 movement +22%

plus 10% normal

[gentle void]

just for shits n gigs u can prob try to cap off that remaining lightning res, shouldn't be hard to do.. it may help

[cosmic shard]

ive been trying to decide whether to boost dps are defenses

also trying to make a weapon to replace dreamthorn

[gentle void]

well if ur getting killed, id say defenses lol

[cosmic shard]

never died till then

[gentle void]

yeah but no one likes dying :p

[cosmic shard]

nope

[gentle void]

as long as you got the dps to consistently kill shit, id focus defense

then you can work on offense again once that feels 'good enough'

[cosmic shard]

for void knights, what sentinel idol mods are the best?

[gentle void]

tbh your defenses are very minimal

tons of room for improvement

[cosmic shard]

i got two with increased void with echo

[gentle void]

idk about the idols for vk

not experienced enough with vk

[cosmic shard]

ok

what other defenses should I go for?

[gentle void]

more block, armor, endurance/threshold, resist. you know, the basic stuff

its up to you to choose what defenses you want to focus on and what gear drops for you

[cosmic shard]

there's a void knight node that reduces block chance and block effectiveness by 40% total

[gentle void]

sentinel has quite a lot of passives that help with armor and block, im pretty sure, so id probably focus on those

[cosmic shard]

and increases void damage by 100%

[brittle atlas]

imo you want at least like 2k hp on vk

capped endurance is huge, obviously capped crit avoidance

[gentle void]

capped crit avoidance isnt really important until end end game

although it isnt really hard to cap anyway

[brittle atlas]

I mean, it's super easy to cap on sentinel once you get the CSA bases

[cosmic shard]

csa?

[gentle void]

crit avoid

[brittle atlas]

critical strike avoidance

[cosmic shard]

ah

[brittle atlas]

Solarum Plate and Winged Helm are the item names

[cosmic shard]

I have a unique that gives +100%

crit avoidance

[gentle void]

yeah thats not a bad chest but also not the best

[cosmic shard]

woven flesh

[gentle void]

like i said though, crit avoid is typically something i worry about later when monsters can hit harder

[brittle atlas]

I'd try to cap it around like....75-80 ish?

being able to completely ignore crit mods is huge

[gentle void]

id cap after im in empowered and get the blessing

lmao

[brittle atlas]

on sentinel you don't need the blessing tho

[gentle void]

ah

[cosmic shard]

Ill try giving up some dps for defenses

[brittle atlas]

two implicits and a suffix will cap you

[gentle void]

im not entirely sure you need to give up on dps to get more defenses, you just need more optimal gear

[cosmic shard]

im using shadow plate and helm

dread banner

[gentle void]

im a big fan of endurance

[cosmic shard]

so more endurance/threshold?

[gentle void]

its up to you

i dont know what you're trying to build for or play

or what your goals are

[brittle atlas]

capped endurance is just mandatory on any life build imo

[cosmic shard]

k

[brittle atlas]

it's easy to cap and is a huge defensive layer

[gentle void]

yeah engraved gloves

[brittle atlas]

gloves + blessing

[gentle void]

really good

[brittle atlas]

https://streamable.com/9lhpu6

[gentle void]

max roll implicit and t5 is 30% + 20% base, thats a 50% damage reduction

[brittle atlas]

I've really enjoyed this vk setup

[gentle void]

below your threshold ofc

[brittle atlas]

and you could pretty easily use the same defenses this build has on any other vk setup too

[gentle void]

defenses are generally the same across the board for all characters, the only difference is you try to focus what your class passives assist you with defensively

[cosmic shard]

ill try some things

for now I started a acolyte minion build and im blasting through stuff

I wanna try using my fire/minion uniques 🙂

i got 359 health back with potion 🙂

thanks for the help, Ill try stuff later tomorrow

[gentle void]

np, minions are really strong and fun build to learn the game with

[cosmic shard]

my beastmaster decided to get as many wolves as I could. first character I made that I really enjoyed playing

I think they do more than I do

ttyl

[still wolf]

is there any way to disable the wormhole thing when time traveling ?

[gentle void]

no, the whole game is built around it :p

[still wolf]

Sorry I mean the cinematic that happens

[gentle void]

currently i do not think so, drop it in #368968647114227723 or #suggestions-and-like-to-see . i can see it as being a bit disorienting. are you just wanting to skip the animation entirely and just see a black screen/load screen?

[still wolf]

Load screen is fine the animation makes me feel sick

[gentle void]

yeah mention in it feedback or suggestions

you could even make a forum post about it too

[still wolf]

Did it in #368968647114227723 will post to the forums later when Im not playing lol

[gentle void]

yep, i saw, i can see them making that an option some time in the future. but im sure they have a lot on their plate at the moment

👍

[narrow cipher]

what is considered "low health"?

[gentle void]

under 35%

[narrow cipher]

ty

[acoustic thicket]

i suddenly can't pick up items

[gentle void]

wdym

[acoustic thicket]

the texts to click on doesnt appear

[gentle void]

try to press z twice or x twice

or hit esc twice

[acoustic thicket]

think it's working now

i think it's a controller bug

[gentle void]

oh controller, yeah idk

when items bug out you can just turn the filter on and off and it usually fixes it

[acoustic thicket]

i see, thanks man

[waxen niche]

Hi, I would just like to ask if AutoHotKey app is illegal for auto-casting skill. My currenty keyboard has no numpad to use. Thank you.

[gentle void]

#👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs

i imagine the answer will be no, its not legal

but ask there

[waxen niche]

Thank you for this.

[lean salmon]

So, little question here, new player and wanting to know some information. Im a level 4 rogue, Can I roll my best in slot daggers for level 52 off of gambling at a low level or do they level restrict?

Because the base item i want is level 1 and the item is not coming up passed a particular level

i've rolled 150 and havent got one, am I just wasting my time?

ive googled and sorted through dozens of threads and have not found an direct answer for this question and help is appreciated, thank you.

[gentle void]

i assume you're talking about smoke weaver, short answer, no. you cant gamble for it, on a low level character. you need level 52.

[lean salmon]

you cant gamble it at all like not even at appropriate level?

[gentle void]

edited

[lean salmon]

thank you

[shrewd prism]

if im using a bow, then should skills like cinder strike only use bow critical strike chance?

in contrast to doing something like Total Crit = Crit + Bow Crit

[balmy current]

yes

melee crit or spell crit do nothing for bow skills

[shrewd prism]

regular crit does nothing too, correct?

the top one

like it doesnt add on

[frigid orbit]

Regular crit is added to bow crit as well. but in the character sheet it is already added to the bow crit row

[shrewd prism]

okay i see, this ties into my original intent for asking the question

i crunched the numbers, but it doesnt make sense. why do I do less damage when i have this ring equipped?

even with the reduction i calculated that it should always be more with the ring

[frigid orbit]

You crunched the numbers wrong xD

(1 - 0.24) + 0.24 * 1.7 = 1.168
(1 - 0.17) + 0.17 * 2 = 1.17

Below is the damage without the ring which is a little higher

(1 - critchance) is the chance you do a non-crit; critchance is the chance you do a crit and in this case the damage is multiplied by the critmulti
basedamage can be neglected as it would be multiplied

[shrewd prism]

ohhh i didnt know about the (1-critchance) bit

thanks i learned quite a lot from that

[frigid orbit]

Correction. Not the damage but the chance you do a non-crit

Edited my comment xD

[solemn meadow]

Can somebody explain wat best way to go is here? i guess the Flat pluss procent right becaue i am at 10% atm in my stats

quipping the chest does not change the 10% so i am a bit confused

[frigid orbit]

It is not a general minion increase but only for skeletons and mages, thus, it is not shown

To get the critical strike chance for these minions you have to add the +basecrit to the default minion crit and multiply it by your increased critical strike chance.

SkeletonsCritChance = (5 + addedMinionCrit + addedSkeletonsCrit) x (1 + %MinionCritChance + %SkeletonsCritChance)

[solemn meadow]

i get wat you are saying but in my tree it says this

both the same rigt?

aaaah wait

[frigid orbit]

No, top is an increase

[solemn meadow]

nope i see

Sorry my bad

[frigid orbit]

you probably have a total of 100% increase minion critical strike chance which ends up to 10% crit chance for all minion: 10 = (5) * (1 + 100 / 100)

Base crit, as on your chest, is generally really powerful!

[solemn meadow]

i thought i use it together with this one

so ill check your calculation
Ty for the help!

[wary shoal]

this actually doesnt factor in the specific increases to sceletons

[solemn meadow]

wait.. i am confused

how does this work?

[balmy current]

The figures on the character screen won't include skill specific modifiers, so any skele crit buffs you have don't show up there.

[late kayak]

Is aura of decay effected by poison chance?

[frigid orbit]

Aura of Decay doesn't hit so modifiers which apply ailments on hit don't affect AoD

[urban horizon]

Regular crit is just global crit chance

[signal whale]

we have an idea on multi yet?

[urban horizon]

Still ready when its ready

[signal whale]

all good, ive been busy and havnt been on in awhile, but when mutli hits, me and my boys will be there

[urban horizon]

Its starting to look like late 2021 MP release since we still have 0.8.3 and 0.8.4 to go at least

[signal whale]

all good for me, i have alot of life things to go through before i can sit down to grind a paladin to 99

or is it 100?

[urban horizon]

Cap is 100

[signal whale]

whats your favourite class?build?

[pale umbra]

class/build is changing with every patch. I like Rogues

[late kayak]

Thanks

[red echo]

Is there an option for subtitles for people hard of hearing?

[pale umbra]

only in the dialog boxes, its been requested and should be in the works.

[solemn meadow]

Dit not see them but there are third party overlays 4 this

[tight kernel]

is it actually worth having dodge (at all) in late game

[gentle void]

i think so, yeah, especially if you're a rogue.

[gentle void]

i can see them not releasing mp until after D2R and poe leagues calm down

i actually wouldnt be surprised at all if mp was pushed to 2022, i kind of expect it.

[pallid crag]

Yeah I dodged several of the shades abilities on only 20% chance

[cloud kindle]

Yes, if you don't forget that it's pure RNG. Don't make Dodge your main defence

[balmy current]

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

[knotty hinge]

Yes

Changed which particular rule? The hide one?

Idols do not have a level requirement

If you want to see mage idols create a separate rule above the hide one with the idols you'd like to see.

[shrewd prism]

does higher level gear always mean better?

something like a shortbow is always going to be outclassed by every other bow, but from longbows onward it seems like each one is good situationally

[wary shoal]

there are some items that have "better" versions and some dont

lets just say they dont get worse with lvl

[cloud kindle]

There is much "pollution" in the chat and it's sometimes difficult to catch questions when we are in high level echoes. You are probably not seen, rather than ignored.

[pale umbra]

make sure to use "X" when you want to look for idols and not use the loot filter after completing monolith bonus item runs.

[shrewd prism]

shrines dont respawn on a map so its not viable to farm a map for a affix shrine or something right

[gentle void]

well, Liaths Tower has a shrine that always spawns.. if that information is worth anything to you

its more effective to farm echoes over shrines

[random dock]

make sure to have it like this so you can know when a good one drops

you can also do it for the general idols and have it so it hides all 💩 ones

[gentle void]

yep, you just need to make sure you have a prefix and a suffix selected that can be rolled on specific idols

[random dock]

yup yup 🙂 I love the loot filter changes soooo good

[calm wing]

Well,to make you feel comfortable here,i am ignoring a specific person,because he believes that religion matters in online games xD Plus,i could answer to your question,but i bought the game recently,so idk a lot of things about it

[ripe quartz]

religion shouldnt matter in gaming.

[restive socket]

why this rules wont affect drop?

i simply choosed all idols as basetype, all rarity applied all classes applied cause 2 rules already wont show any different

or idk, what if solution exists - how to highlight all idols very special way 🙂

[calm wing]

Tell it to that German guy xD

[cunning sleet]

anyone have an idea when the last 3 classes drop?

[pale umbra]

From what I have read in the past, which is subject to change, that there is a small possibility for one prior to MP coming out. The major work is on the MP for now and rest of this patch series will probably be centered around making the current classes feel and work better.

[tight kernel]

is there any other value in arena if you're already level 100?

[gentle void]

You're wrong!!!! Praise Eterra!!!!!

[ripe quartz]

guess i could specify that i mean IRL religions.

[stone swallow]

Hey guys, I'm pretty new around here. Was just wondering if there's like a "coming/ expected features!" list somewhere? Would love to see unlocked gender classes

[balmy current]

!forecast

[ripe brook]

Here’s a link to the forum thread about our forecast: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/early-access-development-forecast/15518

[stone swallow]

@balmy current thanks chap :)

[frigid orbit]

A question regarding the element type of a spell/attack:
If a spell has the lightning tag but gets added flat fire, the added fire part will scale with all tags of the skill expect the specific non-fire element modifiers, right? In the end the only thing this elemental tag shows me, is that the base damage has the lightning tag and adaptive spell damage is added as lightning, right?

[strange cove]

Henlo everyone. I've been looking for this for a while and can't find any list anywhere. Does a list of "affix tier rarity per area level" exist? To be more descriptive, I am assuming that the higher the area level (not item level, not character level), the higher the chance of T3, T4, T5...T7 affixes. I wanted to understand how rare higher tiers are, so i'd like some sort of info on this...

[hidden quail]

Has it been said when the three last classes would be (approximatively) released? The Falconer sounds exciting!

[ripe quartz]

pretty much "when they are ready" mentality.

[hidden quail]

Ok , thanks!

[balmy current]

If you're adding flat X element damage to a skill with Y element tags then the X damage will scale with any appropriate damage modifiers (assuming it doesn't get converted to a different element).

[balmy current]

Yes, you have a higher chance of the higher tiers spawning on items once you're above their minimum level. For t6/7 affixes this is based on the character level (if you're a lvl 100 character in a lvl 55 zone you'll see more t6 affixes than a lvl 55 character would) as far as I'm aware/in my experience. Not sure about the non-exalted affixes but I'd assume the same counts for them too.

[frigid orbit]

Essentially this tag thus is only relevant for adaptive added flat damage? All other scaling sources are applied do damage if it has damage of its element and not if the skill has the tag.

[balmy current]

And unique affixes/passives

If you want the % chance to ignite for fire skills from Calamity you'll need to have a skill with the fire tag

[frigid orbit]

Yeah. Of course.

Ty

[median oracle]

There is anothing like path of building for last epoch? In the build planer of last epoch tools i cant see the stats of one skill

[balmy current]

Not yet no but Dammitt is working on putting the skill dps in.

[median oracle]

dammitt is the creator of the lastepochtools?

and ty

[vale whale]

hey guys

I'm doing the maps in the endgame

and I gather stability

So I complete the 3 rifts

and it gives me a choice for some timelines - 60 or 65

I saw someone say 65 is better yesterday

so I pick 65

it give me 3 crappy choices

but now I can do it all over again

will I get another reward to choose from? And are they always the same?

Should I pick 60 this time, or go for 65 again?

[dark fox]

Each timeline has its dedicated pool of blessings that will be randomly selected in each completion. If you want rewards from that pool, re-run it

[cloud kindle]

Chose 60, you will open both paths. And you should get other reward choices

[frigid orbit]

There are timelines with drop-related blessings and some with useful stuff like damage/resistance/...
The once which offer you loot stuff will always offer lootstuff. It is rarely good to run them again for blessings only.

[vale whale]

So now there is no point for me to run 65 again?

Two options were idols drop rate, and one was 6% exp.

I liked none, but took exp

so now I can run it again

what do I choose this time?

[brittle atlas]

in general, there's no reason to rerun normal monoliths unless you want a boss drop

you'll have to re-farm blessings in empowered anyways

[vale whale]

i dont know what that is

but now I only have the third rift

so i'll do it

[brittle atlas]

once you complete the three level 90 monoliths, you empower all of the timelines, which makes them level 100

the level 100 timelines have higher powered blessings

[vale whale]

if I pick 65 again, will my new choice replace the old one?

[brittle atlas]

You'll have the option to replace or keep

[gentle void]

arbor

u doing tourney?

[vale whale]

so is there a limit to those blessings?

[brittle atlas]

yes

limit?

[gentle void]

u ready to get smacked down?

ive made a immortal primalist build

[vale whale]

why would I replace, if I can keep?

[brittle atlas]

you get three choices each time, from the pool of possible blessings, they each have a range of rolls. When you kill the boss you get to choose to replace your existing blessing with a different one or keep your current one

[vale whale]

So I can only have one from each pool?

[brittle atlas]

you can have one from each timeline

[gentle void]

no only one

[vale whale]

Is there a list somewhere

[gentle void]

yep

[vale whale]

so I can decide if I need to replay

[brittle atlas]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/timelines

[gentle void]

☝️

[brittle atlas]

clicking the name will show you the pool of blessings from that timeline and the boss drops

[gentle void]

idk if its been said but typically youll not want to worry about the normal monolith blessings and just focus on the ones you want when you get to empowered

[brittle atlas]

Yeah, ideally you shouldn't rerun any of the normal monoliths, just continue into the higher level zones

taking the 65, 75, 85 timelines path

and ignoring the 60, 70, and 80 ones until empowered if you do them at all

[vale whale]

ok, so I chose 60 this time and I got blessings from the same pool

how do I advance in the monoliths?

[brittle atlas]

Complete the quest echoes and it unlocks the bridge to the next island

some quest echoes will give you a choice of which to unlock

[cyan bough]

@brittle atlas ty for the build! Am level 70 rn and I gambled a plaguebearer in under 200k gold, so I think I'm set damage wise

But my main question is, how do I calculate damage with my little dudes?

[balmy current]

With Excel

[brittle atlas]

^

[balmy current]

Or if you're proper hardcore, an abacus.

[cyan bough]

Ahh, ok

[brittle atlas]

reveal rate, reveal area, their movement speed, range, spit frequency, your skill cooldown, your death seal cooldown and how good you are at using death seal to extend spirit duration and snapshot spirit casts...

even with excel

you need to make a lot of assumptions

the main thing to know is: poison chance good, cdr good, cast speed good

[cyan bough]

Ok, good to know - I was wondering if tooltip did anything

[brittle atlas]

nah, as far as I know the tooltip is just for their contact damage

which the build doesn't care about at all

[cyan bough]

Good to know! So my DPS is probably much higher

Pog

Also, once I'm done pushing to level 100/endgame, I was wondering if there are any builds with required uniques?

[brittle atlas]

EQ Werebear requires the mace

Reign of Winter marksman requires the bow

[balmy current]

EQ Werebear is also going to get nerfed in 0.8.3

[brittle atlas]

Yeah, if it's a build that interests you, may as well get it out of your system now

[brittle atlas]

So, fully ramped up my wandering spirits tooltip is 107k, but my poison ticks are more like 14-15 million on the dummy

[cyan bough]

Dang ok

[brittle atlas]

so yeah, wandering spirits tooltip is pretty worthless lol

[cyan bough]

So I have a lot to gear up to

To get that dos

Dps

Good to know!

Also, how important is capping resists?

[brittle atlas]

Good to have, but not super important

[balmy current]

It's not as important as it is in, say, PoE

[brittle atlas]

if you're over like 50-ish you're fine for most content

[cyan bough]

Good to know!

[brittle atlas]

but more is better

[balmy current]

Being 1% under the cap is only 1% increased damage taken, in PoE it's 4%

[brittle atlas]

if you can cap your resist without sacrificing something elsewhere you should do it

but personally, I've run with like 67% fire, 66% void, and 0% poison and it's not an issue at all so far

[cyan bough]

Got it, also really random question, but how much life should I sit around to feel comfy on the build?

[balmy current]

Kinda depends on your skill

[brittle atlas]

As much as you can get. I personally prefer to be over 2k

[balmy current]

a high skilled player could get by with much lower hp

[strange cove]

Right, thanks, but have you seen some stats on the drop chances for those?

[brittle atlas]

having about 700 in death seal feels nice

[balmy current]

Unfortunately not, no

[strange cove]

mmm

[balmy current]

But I've seen more exalted items drop on a high lvl character from the chest after a monolith (which uses the player's lvl as the area level) compared to a low level character

[strange cove]

yeah i'm trying to find that kind of info unfortunately ;-D

[balmy current]

Good luck with that

[strange cove]

basically to build loot filters for myself

thank you ;-D

[balmy current]

I don't think you need to go into that much detail for loot filters

[median oracle]

what means this arrows?

[knotty hinge]

You have those affixes on the item already and can upgrade them

[median oracle]

but the item its white

with 0 affix

[balmy current]

I think that's a display bug where you had those affixes on your previous item

that you crafted

[median oracle]

its possible

[pallid crag]

Think that happens if you uh.. cleanse the item? I forgot the rune name but it wipes all mods

[shut pumice]

when you hold alt and look at the scaling tags, are they in order of importance?

[brittle atlas]

no

[wicked hearth]

is there any way to change what key you use to stand still and cast? holding shift is a strain for me and I can’t seem to find it in the list of key binds

[shrewd prism]

is there a way i can learn how to min/max without looking at a guide? i feel like whenever i try to do something by myself the damage is always orders of magnitude less

for example if im buliding ignite DoT, i kinda just shove affixes that have ignite and fire onto my gear without really knowing when or how much of increased/more i should put

i understand how the math and stacking works but I just can't seem to min/max properly

i have a cinderstrike marksman with decent gear at level 70 but i can only seem to squeeze out ~11k damage per second even with what i consider decent gear

[knotty hinge]

I haven't seen many (or any?) successful builds that use cinderstrike as the primary damage source.

[shrewd prism]

oh im not saying its the best, im just saying that i've seen other people put out way more damage than me on that particular build

and if i tried emulating a bulid without looking at a guide i'd probably fall short no matter which one it was

[grave matrix]

hello, any suggestion to replace Decoy on Detonating arrow build? Im thinking on dark quiver or shurikens

[restive socket]

hi guys, whats yours best to get guide by ingame lootfilter editor?
i actually, poe player, and i cant get really hows thing works, like in poe u could just show 'itembase' and without any conditions all bases itembase would be highlighted, and in LE wont work like that

[random dock]

I would go at it without any guide tbh

its really easy to learn

you can have it so it shows you specific bases with the affixes you want

all editable in game no need for a 3rd party site like in POE

[restive socket]

yeah, but, i really struggling, i even posted screen that shows my level of disappointment 🙂

i grabbed it from history

my issue - rules i applied wont affect idols at all

and i wonder - thats bug or i did smth wrong

i tried any combs, even added all affixes, but my idols still stay same

[random dock]

for idols I have a rule for general idols and another for class specific idols

for both rules I have the type of idols and affixes I want with a minimum of at least 2 of the desired affixes for it to show up

so as an example here is a rule for a general idol I made

sec I will boot up LE and I will show you how I have it

[restive socket]

oh, i just checked - it works now

no idea why it doesnt works at the moment i tested it

ty for spending time

[random dock]

cause you dont need to check the rarity for idols

just the affixes and idol type

[restive socket]

i cant reverse highlight it, right? like if want bg be green and colour black?

[random dock]

like the box be green and the text black?

[restive socket]

yep

[random dock]

no sadly

you can emphasize it

makes the box easier to see/read

[restive socket]

ah, thats how u got uppercase, got it

[narrow cipher]

Does wings of argentus damage reduction include dots?

[balmy current]

yes

[drifting shell]

As someone coming from PoE. How important is 'capping' resists in Last Epoch?

As i understand it not capping them isn't as punishing but is capping them something every one should have done past a certain level?

[balmy current]

Less important than in PoE (1% less resist than cap is only 1% more damage taken compared to 4% or more in PoE)

But still good to have

[topaz atlas]

Is the best way to farm Blade of the Forgotten Knight still gambling Longswords with a level 50 character?

[polar bough]

does Mark for death reduce physical, necrotic and void res?

[pale umbra]

all res by 25% for the length of the curse, it can be longer than 4 seconds

[narrow cipher]

is there a point to having glancing blow beyond 100%?

[random dock]

no

its the same with crit avoid

[narrow cipher]

ty ty

[shrewd prism]

whats the chance to gamble a unique in the store if the base item only has one unique?

i think i've rolled about 100 trying to get it which i feel like is a copious amount

[cosmic shard]

Do people like necro minions cause they can just sit back and watch the minions kill everything?

[pale umbra]

gambling is just that a risk. First you have to know if the item is even able to be gambled in the first place so check the https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/

[stark iron]

how do 2 handed weapons differ from dual wielding in terms of total stats/affixes gained?

do dual wielding characters have the possibility of getting more affixes because they are wielding one more piece of equipment

[rough trout]

Yeah, you can get 2 1H implicits which are generally better and fit more niches than 1 2H implicit. And since 1H affixes are multiplied by 1.75 and 2H affixes are multiplied by 3.2, having 2 1H means you have 1.75+1.75=3.5 instead of 3.2 aka ~10% better affixes

[stark iron]

ugh feels bad

I had a feeling too since some passives proc on individual hits which you get 2 times as much when dual wielding compared to a two hander

[wary shoal]

which ones do that?

[stark iron]

one of the sentinel ones I think, which heals on each hit

can’t remember the name

[wary shoal]

no i mean

what abillity doubles its hit rate while dualwielding?

[stark iron]

with dual wielding you hit twice with each attack you make because you’re wielding two weapons

at least that’s my understanding

[wary shoal]

i m like 90 percent sure it doesnt work like that for most abillitys, unless you talking about the default attack cause i never used that

i can try it out the on my rouge i guess though i dont have a sentinel

[onyx osprey]

Where can you see your blessings?

[wary shoal]

"c"

and there are 3 tabs on top

one of the is blssings

[onyx osprey]

👍

[hollow socket]

Necromancers are more powerful than that, even.

You can gain unbelievable amounts of ward by just constantly casting zombies, having them die and leeching some of their HP as ward when they die.

Those are 3 functions that all give you ward if you skill for it.

But if you'd like to just sit back, get a golem with the increased threat node and stack HP on it.

[wary shoal]

you can also do both at the same time

[brittle atlas]

They have different affix pools and different amounts of total stats available. dual wielding tends to be slightly more damage while 2H doesn't take 15% increased damage, though dual wield being more damage really depends on the skill, what weapons you can use, etc.

hit-rate for dual wielding just averages your attack rate

you don't hit twice as often while dual wielding

[strange cove]

Henlo, please allow me to re-ask the question from some time ago. Is there a table (or an equation) that tells us the droprate chance of each affix tier per area level (I'm only assuming it depends on area level)?

[brittle atlas]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/affixes

is what we have as far as I know

that shows drop level and rarity

I don't think drop chance changes with zone level? possibly impacted by increased rarity modifiers

[strange cove]

@brittle atlas thank you, however this is not exactly what im looking for. i think this is "global rarity" of given affix, what i'm looking for is more of a "at area level 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70... what is the chance of dropping t1, t2, t3, t4, t5, t6, t7 affix"

[strange cove]

i really dont know 🙂

[brittle atlas]

ah, like the weight of rolling tiers?

rather than just the affix itself?

[strange cove]

yes!

sorry for not being clear

[brittle atlas]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/itemsim

tunk also has the item sim, but I'm not sure how it figures out generation of tiers for each item it generates

might ask him directly?

[strange cove]

oh. great. I'll just look at the sauce, thank you 😄

[strange cove]

blah, it looks react'd 😉

[shrewd prism]

are things like 40k tick ignite DoT builds and 300k crit hit builds even comparable?

i feel like huge damage almost always wins out and seeing DoT builds that have ticks in the ten thousands always seems underwhelming

[strange cove]

hrmf, i cant answer that, but i think both boil down to different playstyle. with DoT you apply and run, often.

[brittle atlas]

ignite just happens to be the weakest dot

poison can get ticks into the tens of millions

[strange cove]

mmmf

good to know.

[vestal path]

hey guys, is it püossible to post screenshotsi nhere for questions?

im seriously confused about some dmg calculation

[balmy current]

yup

Just no

pics

[vestal path]

ok now i just need to find the screenshot folder heh

[fleet ermine]

for the different crt chances, does the game roll the two dice? For example, if I use mana strike does the game roll one die for regular crt chance and another for meele crt?

[snow spruce]

No. They're added together I believe

[vestal path]

ok finally found it. so here is my question,. looking at these two weapons and hammer throws scaling tags, i expect the morningstar to have higher dps, but i lose roughly 100 dps according to tooltip, and the dummy seems to confirm it with lower per hit dmg numbers. can someoen explain to me why?

[fleet ermine]

do you happen to know which gets weighted more heavily?

[snow spruce]

What? What makes you think they're weighted?

[acoustic thicket]

Dumb question: on maps i only have the left fork and missing the right ones, how to open that path? thanks

[snow spruce]

Its likely the fact that the Axe has both bleed and ignite chances and 36% increased damage over time.

[vestal path]

that should only matter for the dot dmg numbers on the dummy tho, right?

kinda hard to judge but it looks like the actual hit dmg is lower too

[snow spruce]

You have to rerun the monolith that unlocked the first one and choose to unlock the second one (I can't remember the timeline names...) But at the level 55 monolith, you chose to unlock the "left" monolith path, now you have to rerun it and unlock the "right" monolith path

[brittle atlas]

none of the stats on the mace impact hammer throw

[snow spruce]

Yes, but that would explain the DPS difference... as far as hit damage, I'm not sure.

[brittle atlas]

Hammer Throw isn't a melee skill, so none of the melee stats do anything for it

[vestal path]

oh dear god im dumb

thnak you

of course

[fleet ermine]

idk it would be kinda op if they are flatly added together

[brittle atlas]

it uses the total crit for the skill

they're not added

[vestal path]

should just craft general inc phys dmg on stuff, im silly

[acoustic thicket]

yes but which is it it doesn't say

[snow spruce]

? I believe they are, Melee Crit Chance + Base Crit Chance = Total Crit Chance yes?

Oh... it depends

If they meant "increased crit chance" ... then they're not added... yeah

[brittle atlas]

On your character sheet you have the three crit categories.

Crit strike chance is your 5% base + any global flat crit * any global crit increases

Melee crit strike chance which is your 5% base + any global flat + any melee flat * any global or melee increases

spell crit strike chance which is your 5% base + any global flat + any spell flat * any global or spell increases

so if you want to know what your crit chance is for a melee skill, look at the melee crit stat

though it won't include any skill-specific crit increases, which many skills have

[snow spruce]

Yes, currently it does not, but if you remember the level of each monolith (just look at the map) you can be sure to choose the correct one.

[vestal path]

@brittle atlas sorry to be a bother, but im still losing tooltip dps on this, despite the general pühy dmg increase, still gonna use it cause it doubles my smite, but i still dont understand

[brittle atlas]

the ailment chances do factor into the tooltip, and ailments are pretty good

at least at lower levels

[vestal path]

the dummy seems to still have lower hit dmg, but again, hard to tell

actually seems to be about equal, but id expect a good bunch more, but i guess i just take it at this poin t

[balmy current]

Skills that hit (aren't DoTs) have a +/- 25% damage spread

[hollow socket]

I've seen that, but why is it? Items don't seem to have a damage range like in other games.

[balmy current]

Other games (such as PoE) put their damage range on the weapon / skill gem (ie, the beginning of the damage calculation). LE puts it at the end.

[naive night]

any good unique for fire warpath build guys? I find only volcanus is BIS

[brittle atlas]

wings of argentus

eye of reen should be decent for dual wield version

[naive night]

I saw it recently but still don't understand + melee fire level of skill

[brittle atlas]

if a skill has both the melee and fire tags it gets +1 level

but what you really care about on the item is the damage reduction and the haste on hit

[naive night]

the others i think rare with good craft stat?

[lean salmon]

and this is why folks you bring the proper resists to hardcore

[brittle atlas]

proper resists at level 10 xd

[naive night]

I deeply understand that pain from POE bro

[lean salmon]

yes proper resists at level 10, try to get what you can where you can regardless. making fun of a persons first play on the game in hard core uwu lad you're super kewl.

[brittle atlas]

Sure, try and get what you can

but saying to bring proper resists for a fight that happens at level 10 seems...weird? you probably don't even have gear in every slot at that point unless you're really really trying to do so

[cosmic shard]

Im trying a necro but Im looking for a variant where I dont sit back and watch mostly

[ripe quartz]

isnt that pretty much the definition of necro?

[cosmic shard]

does it have to be?

[ripe quartz]

well. you can always try to build some sort of necro that does more than just summon, but...

[cosmic shard]

I found one that does transplant at least

[narrow cipher]

is there any way to convert overheals into ward?

[hollow socket]

Did you consider a primalist build? You can share aspect of the shark with your minion IIRC.

[cosmic shard]

ive been trying out several builds so far. Im just trying necro now

I have a beastmaster wolf primalist right now also

I does better than my void knight at 79 while being lvl 69 with 6 wolves

[upbeat panther]

do the devs have a blog for write up of when different features are planned to be implemented and other news?

I've only heard things about livestreams which i didnt see

[knotty hinge]

They occasionally write dev blobs (https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/developer-blogs/38). The historical live streams can be viewed here: https://www.twitch.tv/lastepochgame/videos

[upbeat panther]

is there a fan made wiki or something with everything that's mentioned on livestreams? would prefer to read if possible

[knotty hinge]

Regarding your gender question in ask the devs - Mike mentioned last stream that we wouldn't see it until after multiplayer if I recall correctly.

[upbeat panther]

do we have any idea when multi is implemented?

[knotty hinge]

Not a wiki but if you have other questions you can always post them here.

Not yet.

[upbeat panther]

seems like it's the main priority right now?

[knotty hinge]

Multiplayer? Yes but it takes a lot of time. I think it's safe to say the gender customization isn't even being worked on currently.

That doesn't mean it's not important, they would just rather flesh out the base game first.

And prioritize optimization.

[upbeat panther]

I'm not a dev but suspect it wouldn't take them that long to replace the character models. but multiplayer is what the game needs first

[knotty hinge]

And add animations and voice lines.

And if upcoming skill effects are added or reworked then they would have twice the amount of work for those as well.

[brittle atlas]

Having gender options for each class means doubling the number of animations, refitting or altering existing armor models effectively doubling them as well, getting voice work done, making sure any gendered pronouns in dialogue get appropriately set to change, etc.

It’s a pretty large undertaking for what is ultimately not a large benefit

[eager magnet]

Not needed at all

[wicked hearth]

whether it’s needed or not it’s clearly a feature plenty of people would like to see, and playing as a character that’s the same gender as you is something that helps with relating to them IME

plus it’s hard to ignore the fact that the two female characters are not at all tanky looking compared to two of the three male characters. if there was more body diversity for the female characters then I wouldn’t want character customization as much, but sadly that’s not the current state of the game

[brittle atlas]

You’re playing as a specific character in the lore tho

It’s like asking for gender options in Mario or Zelda

Though originally, the sentinel was female

When it was the knight

[wicked hearth]

you could make that argument for plenty of games though. for example, in the Dragon Age series Hawke is a specific person (which is why you can only play as a human), but you can still customize their appearance and body type

CP2077 has you play as V, a specific person, and you can customize their appearance and body type

Shepard and Ryder from Mass Effect are other examples

I’m sure that because they’re rpgs there’s more freedom for player choice in their backstory (and I will admit I forgot about the beginning cutscene because my computer lagged through the whole thing), but I do think you don’t need to change their backstories simply because you changed their gender

[brittle atlas]

I think that makes sense for more choice driven games where you have more control over the narrative

[wicked hearth]

for example I know the primalist had a wife and children but that’s something a female primalist could also have

[brittle atlas]

I really depends what the game is trying to do, I guess. Not every game needs or wants the player to self insert. Sometimes you’re just playing through the story of someone else.

Not saying that EHG won’t or shouldn’t provide gender options at some point, just that I don’t think it’s something the game necessarily has to have depending on how they want to handle the characters.

[acoustic thicket]

are we allowed to share our live stream in discord?

[brittle atlas]

I think if you start streaming under the LE category on twitch the bot will post it in the channel automatically?

In #🔴┃livestream-shoutout

[acoustic thicket]

ok, thank you. I'll try that out.

[wicked hearth]

I agree that not every game needs options to create a self insert, but I don’t think in this case customization options would get in the way of LE’s story. only time it does imo is during more narrative heavy games, and arpgs are definitely not that 😂

also… I think the genre is hero shooters? stuff like Overwatch

[brittle atlas]

Yeah, I think the real limiting or deciding factor is more the resources and time needed to create or modify art assets for it than anything else.

[wicked hearth]

I agree with you there

5 new models means lots of small changes that would add up pretty quickly

[cosmic shard]

I wonder how melee rogues can survive with just melee attacks in the beginning

[pale umbra]

i have done it

[wicked hearth]

hit n run tactics?

[pale umbra]

just put on some low level dodge gear, then you do like evil said hit-n-run and ambush

[cosmic shard]

its harder than it looks

ranged is the easy option

[wicked hearth]

my gf does hit n run with sentinel and when I was like why she was like “why should I put myself in unnecessary danger” girl you’re a TANK you can DO THAT 😂

[pale umbra]

yea my sent face tanks emp mono's then takes that BIG unnecessary danger death. even with 1k health regen. tanks are not immortal

[wicked hearth]

and that’s fair but she’s nowhere near the endgame yet

she’s a big moba player so it makes sense but it’s still funny

[pale umbra]

that explains a lot

[viscid lichen]

there is anyway to increase the difficulty in this game?like we can do in diablo 3?

https://oyster.ignimgs.com/mediawiki/apis.ign.com/diablo-3/b/b1/Screenshot096.jpg

[finite mesa]

It gets more difficult as you progress into the game

[viscid lichen]

ok

[minor vigil]

empowered monoliths are basically the hard mode of endgame

[calm wing]

Enpowered monoliths are the T16 of D3 xD Almost same as @minor vigil said above

[balmy current]

Have you tried Masochist mode?

[viscid lichen]

how to unlock this mode?and how to enable monoliths?im chapter 4

[brittle atlas]

I believe you unlock masochist by beating the current campaign

Monoliths you'll get to at the end of the campaign

they start at level 55

Though you can go into them as soon as you get to the end of time if you really want

[viscid lichen]

ty

guys,why i cant summon more summons?before chapter 4 quest,dont know which one,i summoned 2 wolfs one velociraptor and one sabertooth,now i can only summon one summon and wolf dont apper when i press the skill

[pale umbra]

did you change any gear, + to skills or passives that support companion
