[hard palm]

easiest way to think of it is just evrything that affects this

[peak haven]

what happens with arena in hardcore? do you stay hardcore if you die in arena?

[hard palm]

no

you're ghost

[peak haven]

so do the ppl with hardcore arena just call it quits I guess?

pretty ballsy

[hard palm]

yeah the runs are a lot shorter for a reason

[peak haven]

cool ty for the info

[warped blaze]

is penetration just a straight more multiplier if you have no other sources

[brittle atlas]

It's additive with resistance shred, but otherwise yes

[warped blaze]

so if you have huge shred its way less effective

[hard palm]

not way less

well on rares shred is -40

[warped blaze]

if im proccing res shred twice a second is pen very good

[hard palm]

yeah that's only -16

4s duration on shred

[warped blaze]

actually id be closer to 3 + times res shred a second

[hard palm]

penetration is still good even if you're at 20 stacks

it's probably not needed on lightning chars that get both shock and shred

or on poison chars

[warped blaze]

Im just trying to figure out if I should value pen over crit multi

[hard palm]

10% pen is 7% more dmg

p easy to figure out how much crit multi gives

[warped blaze]

right

would give me like 10% more crit multi

so slightly better

[hard palm]

well depends on crit chance

10% more crit multi is 10% more dmg if you're crit capped

[warped blaze]

right

is 200% crit multi double or triple damage

I assume double

[hard palm]

double

[serene sphinx]

Does regular crit strike chance matter for a sorcerer or only spell crit?

[urban horizon]

They are the same thing. Crit chance is global and spell crit is only for spells. I highly recommend crafting spell crit on your gear instead of global crit since they roll higher values

[serene sphinx]

Figured that. Appreciate it.

[serene sphinx]

Just specialized and I think finished Ruined Era. No idea where to go now?

nm had to talk to esper or whatever for imperial era.

[odd egret]

got my first character to level 90 and empowered monolith. How long will it take to level 100 on average? I'm trying to see should I roll a new character or continue the level grind.

[strange cove]

hey, got a small question. anyone familiar with how crafting works, specifically rune of shatter and removal? is their outcome somehow influenced by affix rarity?

im specifically interested whether devs confirmed anything regarding this.

[brittle atlas]

if you're playing something fast with shared stash uniques/shards/etc you can do 1-100 in 30 hours or so

[sick spindle]

Can the 100 corruption from 'empowered work' to enable Apathy's Maw to drop?

[brittle atlas]

faster in some cases

[brittle atlas]

yes

[brittle atlas]

removals are all equal. Each affix has an equal chance to be removed

shatters roll per affix tier

[odd egret]

too bad I'm not that fast 😂 1-90 took me like 40+ hours

[sick spindle]

There's a loading screen tip that "monsters gain 1% penetration per area level". Is that simply the "moster level" and/or "area level"? And is that 100 in empowered maps?

[strange cove]

Is this confirmed somewhere by devs perhaps?

does it mean that with 4 affixes you have 25% chance on each?

[knotty hinge]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/beta-0-8-2-patch-notes/37724
Runes of Removal now have an equal chance to pick each affix on an item to remove, regardless of tiers.

[strange cove]

interesting. thank you.

[empty terrace]

What's the hotkey to drop items from your inventory

?

[sharp grotto]

drag & drop

[empty terrace]

So there's no hotkey?

[subtle spoke]

is there a way to delete tabs

[willow pendant]

So.. I've been transitioning into Empowereds and am still at level 86.. And it feels like I do no damage at all? Is it because am way below level 100 or is there some damage reductions going on in empowered echoes?

[cedar rover]

Hey all! 🤔 I'm kind of new, wondering how do I target farm idols? I can't gamble for them and they don't drop too often, is there a way to target for them?

[quasi hatch]

Target the idol drop rewards in Monolith

[dark fox]

One mono also has an increased idol drop rate blessing (based on type, like adorned idol, etc.)

[narrow wharf]

check mods in echo you have

[cedar rover]

Gotcha, that's it 🙂 Another q - should I full clear

Or should I rush the objective when I find it and drop out

[iron thistle]

Depends on mob density.

[willow pendant]

So enemies doing 25% more damage means they take multiples less damage than attacking a target dummy? I guess there are some resistance changes going on in higher level monoliths..

[narrow wharf]

Legendary timelines have all areas scaled to level 100, as well as setting their corruption to a minimum of 100.

Corruption adds a permanent monster health... so yeah by default empowered's always feel much more tanky , even more so if there are mods that do as well

[fading jackal]

Is their any endgame other than the treadmill of increasing corruption in monolith?

[knotty hinge]

Currently it is limited to monolith or arena. Additional endgame modes are going to be released in future patches.

!forecast

[ripe brook]

Our forecast can be found here: https://forum.lastepoch.com/uploads/default/original/2X/7/78b1bcf69bbd32020fe7f3bece316f580712ec3b.png.

[fading jackal]

Good, because if THIS was supposed to be it I actually would be disappointed. Doing Monolith for the sake of making enemies stronger than you, while also seemingly not allowing the player to meet that power has really been killing it for me. I might make one more character because I have a couple build ideas, but I'm gonna wait until then.

[knotty hinge]

You aren't forced to continuously increase the difficulty and echo webs can be quite expansive. If you are content with the difficulty of your current timeline just run low corruption increases and decreases to maintain the corruption level after exploring the web.

[fading jackal]

Just not big on ARPGS just throwing you on a treadmill because "The Grind™️". I prefer when there is some aspirational content where I'm being presented with some sort of difficult challenge to overcome, not necessarily just big numbers.

[knotty hinge]

Have you played an ARPG that doesn't have this type of gameplay loop? I am genuinely curious as I find it to be one of the pillars of the genre.

[stone granite]

I feel like any good RPG with longterm viability has some kind of treadmill.

[fading jackal]

Grim Dawn doesn't give the same feeling, and I much prefer doing the skeleton dungeons that act as set pieces and not "here's a map that can spawn every type of enemy in the game, go wild". Shattered Realm is just slightly high quality Greater Rifting, but I wouldn't say that is a fair comparison to Monolith since the only real similarity between its systems is just running through a campaign zone with a bunch of enemies on it. I steer clear of it anyway, even if it's the most ludicrous way to get loot.
It's a bit of a stretch for the term "ARPG", but playing The Division and Destiny there was the Incursions and Raid/Raid Lairs/Prison of Elders systems that I really liked.
The biggest problem I have with Monolith atm is that it seems there is no "goal" I'm trying to reach, and can't reasonably see myself making steps towards that goal either. Right now it's just me running through for the sake of at least bringing a character to 100. And so far gaining levels hasn't really gave me any increase in character power.

[cedar rover]

Do we have a channel for build advice? I'm wondering what're the worst pieces of gear I have 😄

[stone granite]

I will allow The Division being called an ARPG

[fading jackal]

Destiny doesn't count yeah lol i agree

[stone granite]

Destiny has a treadmill for sure

[knotty hinge]

Try the class specific discussions under Class Discussion.

[stone granite]

Look at light levels right now

At launch you were pushing 100 light level, right?

Destiny always had a treadmill

[fading jackal]

i'm speaking more to endgame systems, not just other stuff that bungie won't fix

[stone granite]

I mean Bungie makes art, not good game systems lol

[cedar rover]

Actually, now that I'm thinking about it... How can I share my build for roasting? 😅

[stone granite]

Last Epoch isn't beautiful, but the scaling end game is a great system to me

[knotty hinge]

Click the arrow in the top left corner to import your character https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/
I've never seen any build roasting from the community.

[stone granite]

See that's why I don't show my builds, I know they suck

[cedar rover]

Thanks! Posted, let's see if there's activity over there 😄

But, man, is it chill coming over from PoE. I can grab a build and then do it my own without fiddling with it for several hours to make sure I don't break it 😄

You have actual, useful tooltips in-game...

[stone granite]

yeah but you don't really know if your build sucks until you hit empowered

it's kind of a big jump

[marsh maple]

I can build roast if you want

😄

jk

[cedar rover]

I posted a planner in Sentinel, can share it again

[cedar rover]

Yeah, but even then, respeccing isn't as convoluted 😄

[exotic thorn]

Is there any builds I could use this? 😄

[brittle atlas]

Not a particularly good base for a poison build

[exotic thorn]

Yeah, just checked the wiki if there are any poison skills that would go well with a 2H

Too bad i guess 😄

[iron thistle]

Serpent Strike, but that's polearms only.

[fierce kraken]

https://tenor.com/view/puke-gif-8355031

wiki is super out of date last i checked

[tiny jungle]

does venomous intent for serpent strike reduce my own usual poison duration? It sais it reduces it for the projectile, but not for "other ailments". It doesnt mention the regular poison duration tho from the hit

[lusty kraken]

is there any reference for the pet damage etc ?

for exemple i ccan't find the base damage of a wolf pet

[balmy current]

lastepochtools.com has it

[lusty kraken]

ok thx

[balmy current]

From the wording it'll affect all poisons applied by Serpent Strike, not just from the projectile.

[tiny jungle]

Mh okay. It's kinda bad then i think :/ thanks

[balmy current]

But that is on top of the general increase in duration that Serpent Strike gets

so you'd probably be back to slightly longer than the base duration.

[tiny jungle]

yeah i guess its a trade off for more AoE against single target

[balmy current]

yup

[tiny jungle]

clear is excellent already tho so kinda not worth for me i think

[narrow wharf]

When do bases with t9+ tier affixes start dropping in general? or is t7 highest possible tier of affix right now

[knotty hinge]

Highest tier is T7. T6 drops from ~level 50 and T7 at ~90. I can't recall the specifics.

[peak shard]

can Bleeding Heart drop? I remember it was legacy at some point, but doesn't say so anymore

[narrow wharf]

yes

i have gotten 2-4 over last few days

[peak shard]

thanks, curious why I haven't dropped any yet considering it's a common drop

[pulsar crystal]

Hey, I some questions about bleed/poison. Does it depend on hit damage or only flat added damage? Does crits make any difference? Can I poison with physical damaga?

[peak shard]

hey, bleeds and poison have fixed based damage, you can look it up in the game guide G

doesn't benefit from hit damage, flat damage or crit

[pearl epoch]

Is it safe to assume that Crushing Blows (3% increased damage per 1 mana cost) applies to my triggered Forge Strike from Multistrike? It costs 40 mana when triggered, which should give 120% increased damage.

[peak shard]

so to poison you just stack a bunch of chance to poison and any damage will apply it

[pulsar crystal]

Oh so it always deals 53 damage?

[peak shard]

then you scale it with appropriate % damage increases

that is the base damage yes, it can be scaled though

[pulsar crystal]

Yes but there is no way to increase that base 53? beacuse that sound very low for endgame even with increases

then again I could just get attack speed

[peak shard]

as far as I know - no, remember that most DoTs can have unlimited number of stacks though, so you just get a bunch of chance to apply

I personally play bleed build right now and it does just fine in the end game in terms of damage

[pulsar crystal]

Oh I see ty

only last question I have seen that bleed chance is pretty easy to get above 100%

is it truly 100% or is it a fixed bleed chance that is being scaled like 7 * bleed chance (example)

[peak shard]

500% is 5 bleeds guaranteed, as simple as that

[pulsar crystal]

5 of what?

[stone gust]

bleed stacks

1 bleed stack deals X amount of damage in a duration of Y. 5 bleed stacks wil deal 5*X amount of damage in a duraiton of Y

[pulsar crystal]

Do you mean it inflicts 5 bleeds per hit?

[peak shard]

are you the king korova yoububer btw? @pulsar crystal ^^

[stone gust]

yea

[pulsar crystal]

Da

[peak shard]

nice, should we expect some LE content? 😄

[pulsar crystal]

If I find something funny then yes

[pearl epoch]

Anyone know the answer to this? I feel like it should

[peak shard]

let me look it up what are the skills you're talking about

[pearl epoch]

Multistrike triggering Forge Strike with the Fiery Justice node. With the node, it triggers, costing 40 mana. In the Forge Guard tree there's a passive called Crushing Blows that grants 3% increased damage per 1 mana cost of skills. Would that damage increase apply to the triggered Forge Strike?

[peak shard]

yea I don't see why it wouldn't, forge strike has a melee tag

generally triggered abilities scale as everything else as long as conditions are met

[pearl epoch]

Yeah that's kind of what I figure too. I just wasn't 100% confident since trigger skills can sometimes be finicky. Thanks for the affirmation though, I feel good knowing my Forge Strike hits like a truck

[peak shard]

well should work doesn't always guarantee it would ^^ can't speak for sure because I haven't tried myself, you can always try stuff on a dummy

[pearl epoch]

This is true. I'll have to test it out. 120% increased should be noticeable enough to tell the difference.

[peak shard]

@pulsar crystal maybe will be helpful for you, an example how total bleed dmg is calculated, shuriken_n is basically expected number of hits, instead of the attack speed bcs I don't use it

[pulsar crystal]

Heall yeah thats just what I needed, thank you

[peak shard]

and crit_multi_eff comes from unique gloves, doesn't exist by default

[shadow void]

I can't seem to find this info but is bleed effect a separate multiplier essentially and not added to increased? And I assume Serrated Blade node for Forge Strike is a separate multiplier to that even?

given its wording that is

the first part seems to be answered in your equation there sasha, didn't notice that 🙂

[peak shard]

bleed effect is a multi yes, but it's additive from different sources, not quite sure why serrated blade specifies that it's multiplicative with other modifiers

on different skills it just says +bleed effect

going by what it says below, it's just default bleed effect

[shadow void]

yeah that is what I am kinda thinking

so you can get up to 245% bleed effect for forge strike it seems and increased bleed damage which is additive with other things (+% physical dmg) equal to stun chance (tree can provide 150%)

I am only used to hit builds myself, so I have been using bleed forge strike as my way to figure it out 🙂

[peak shard]

are you sure these 2 nodes work together? seems like there're 3 nodes that convert forge strike into sword/spear/anvil

[shadow void]

I currently have a build where I use all but the sword one

I was going to try out using a bleed build with it instead that would use all 4, but haven't tried it yet

[peak shard]

what falls from the sky then? ^^

[shadow void]

tbh I don't really pay attention to it, haha. I think it is a spear

but yeah been using javelin and forge strike rotation (since I have the no cooldown point)

[peak shard]

bcs there can be conflicting nodes on a tree, in shuriken you can pick blade shield and then thworing star but it then would do nothing

[shadow void]

normally a node will say if it cancels out another I found

I personally don't care what it looks like as long as it gets the effects, hehe

[peak shard]

ye just make sure it does

[shadow void]

the dps went up after I got the mace one

when I had the spear node prior

and the range for the hit is definitely smaller from spear

[peak shard]

good then

[shadow void]

area I should say

either way my I am blown away by javelin, it is such an amazing skill.

so versatile

[peak shard]

it looks cool for sure, leveled a little with javelin, might go back trying to build something

[shadow void]

I am using it solely to make forge strike pretty much free and deal 60% more dmg

[exotic estuary]

Not really sure where to put this; having serious issues with Last Epoch crashing whenever I try to load into new areas. Validated the game and made a new character to see if that would make a difference. Nada. Was going to try running the game on my Linux install to see if that helps, but as the saves are stored in the registry, I'm not really sure how'd I go about converting that information. I haven't seen anything online about copying files from Windows to Linux save for one post where someone made a program that was never published. Does anyone have any knowledge on transferring a LE save from Windows to Linux? As is, the game is basically unplayable on Windows at the moment with the constant CTDs.

[fierce kraken]

try asking support, it might take a few days for them to get back to you bc it is the weekend

!support

[ripe brook]

Let's work together to get it sorted! We've support articles and a contact form here: https://support.lastepoch.com/.

[exotic estuary]

Ok, thanks.

Gonna try doing a reinstall first and see if that helps.

[fierce kraken]

check your graphics drivers are up to date

[balmy geode]

At what level of area does tier 7 gear start dropping? And tier 7 is the highest so far, correct?

[brittle atlas]

90+

[random dock]

yes T7 is the highest right now

[sick spindle]

If I kill an empowered Shade of Orobyss, will he be able to drop Apathy's Maw?

[narrow wharf]

How long does it usually take to reach 100 (assuming running empw monos)

[silk mortar]

so i put some points into the wrong area trying to read something lol is there a way i can respec my blade dancer passives somewhere else?

[sick spindle]

In town, there is an NPC marked as a brain ( 🧠 ). You can repsec at them

[balmy geode]

Many thanks. Does this game function similar to Diablo 2/PoE, where magic/rare monsters drop 1, and 2, ilvls higher respectively? Or is it exclusively area level 90 that is required?

[brittle atlas]

area level 90

[balmy geode]

Awesomely fast responses, many thanks ❤️

[silk mortar]

thank you very much

[fierce kraken]

i think i did it in 30hrs of game time on VK warpath.

[narrow wharf]

Does the last monolith quest line have any rewards? (given ive pretty much unlocked all timelines already)

[knotty hinge]

The one which has you complete all 20? It might still be bugged and not properly update.

[narrow wharf]

this one

[knotty hinge]

Just gold and xp

[bitter zodiac]

When a skill like Javelin's Divine Throws says "Javelin's base physical damage and added damage form all sources is converted to lightning," does that mean added physical damage or added damage of all types is is converted to lightning?

[hard palm]

p sure it's all types but i checked at a pretty low level without much dmg scaling

wording would also indicate all types

[urban horizon]

Its all damage types

[bitter zodiac]

Awesome, thank you.

[median canyon]

Does anyone have a good AOE mono farmer for HC? I currently have a Holy Trail Paladin, but it's slow and clunky IMO.

[empty terrace]

Anyone know how to handle performance issues? My computer is a year old and plays games on ultra, even when I put this game to just "high" I get graphic lag,

[random dock]

thats just how the game is right now

its unoptimized

ofc thats a constant WIP especially for MP

lower your settings

[empty terrace]

Roger

Interestingly I don't notice much graphical difference between Ultra and Medium, so I guess no real loss

[deep nexus]

is there way to see detail of characters in ladder ?

[urban horizon]

No

[hard palm]

https://lastepoch.com/ladder

you can see skills on the bar

[quiet hinge]

Anyone have a list of which passives are only active when you activate holy aura?

[hard palm]

it says "active" on them

from memory i don't think there are really any besides the ward on use

[quiet hinge]

Nah. Crit chance and other nodes in that area don’t say anything like that and aren’t working until you activate the aura.

Unless my games bugged or something

Restarted my game and it’s working now. Weird

[ocean bobcat]

Is there a reason to max out the stability bar before doing the 3rd quest?

[brittle atlas]

no

maxing it out just lets you store two runs worth of the quest echoes

[spare citrus]

I want to provide feedback on skills that pull enemies and how they feel/look very clunky with bad physics and make me not want to use them. I would like info from others here to provide more complete feedback on the issue since I might not know about other skills with similar problems. The 2 skills with which I have noticed big problems are Sentinel’s Rive when you take the node “Challenge” and Rogue’s Ballista when you take the node “Harpoon shot”. Also, I suppose it’s possible that similar issues exist for skills that can knockback. If that’s so that is also worth sharing.

[balmy current]

You can manually copy the save folder from your linux install location to your windows install location, though I thought that steam cloud should have done that for you. The files will be in the save folder here (https://support.lastepoch.com/hc/en-us/articles/1260805192629-The-Game-s-Log-File).

[scenic tangle]

how do i fix this?

[smoky glade]

fix what?

[scenic tangle]

the settings options, i have option A B C

i cant change settings manually

[smoky glade]

C:\Users[username]\AppData\LocalLow\Eleventh Hour Games\Last Epoch

le_graphicsmanager.ini

delete it

then relaunch game

[scenic tangle]

thanks ❤️

[wintry lion]

Is it just me or does the first level up since 8.3 with any pre-existing character not add a passive point?

[smoky glade]

do act 9

1 passive point is gated behind it

[wintry lion]

huh okay

Thank you

[rigid wagon]

Hi guys i just want to be sure but Shadow cascade need dual wielding to be casted, is it normal that i am using a shield and the nodes from shift permits me to cast it anyway ?

[smoky glade]

that node says it requires a melee weapon

idk if it's intended to bypass the dual wielding requirements since it's triggered after another skill

[frigid orbit]

@tight wolf Getting the discussion to the correct channel 😉
Many attacks and thus many aftershock proccs do not change the behaviour as each hit is a new instance.

[tight wolf]

Well this raises more questions haha. I mean, if I node into that an aftershock can proc another one for 100% and I proc it by idols can it hit the same target twice? Lets say I use Swipe once and proc shock with idols which cast another one thx do the EQ node. Does this second one can target the same enemy? And what if I swipe once and proc the idol and then the aftershock (since its a hit) proc another shock as well...does this one can target the same enemy? If so, there could be (best case which is kind unreal) the possibility of infinite shocks?

[frigid orbit]

An aftershock is not a hit, sadly

It does hit damage but isnt one

[balmy current]

Procs don't (generally) proc procs.

[tight wolf]

Wait what? Then why is there even the DoT node?

[frigid orbit]

I played an eq aftershock build last league with aspect of the shark stacking: https://youtu.be/oy4Rqi2ha8w

You can see that these hit do not gerenate additional stacks.

[tight wolf]

1 sec into the video. Are u german?

xD

[frigid orbit]

yes^^

[tight wolf]

haha

same

haha

[frigid orbit]

Ah, I'm not sure anymore about the the fact that aftershock isnt a hit. It can be that only upheaval removes the hit fact. Sorry about the confusion

[frigid orbit]

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

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

[tight wolf]

ah now I get it

Quite interesting mechanic overall

[frigid orbit]

It is so bad they nerfed the aspect of shark stacking and limited it to 10 stacks. at least 20 would be great^^

[tight wolf]

So in ur video u say that the dmg over time node still make shock "hit"

so it can still crit now?

Or not?

cF

xD

[frigid orbit]

Yeah, it was quite confusing back then. If you skill upheaval you still rpocc the snowrash stuff which specifies hit, so It probably is a hit. For the aftershock chain probably Llamas statement holds true so an aftershock doesnt procc multiple times.

I expect crit/crit multi should work but I used the no-crit/attack speed gloves and found that I already needed so many other prefixes that there was not room for crit

For these reason I never really tried it

[tight wolf]

This game has so many interesting niche interactions I have like a million ideas already and I'm just playing primalist for now haha

havent played any other class yet

😄

[frigid orbit]

Yeah, some great things you can do. But still limited more compared to PoE due to the class limitations xD

[tight wolf]

I dropped PoE long time ago. It has TOO many mechanics for my liking and for the love of god I love playing on my gamepad and LE has improved a lot in this department

I bought LE like 2 years ago, played around 10 hours and left. I played like 80 hours in the last week since I had 1 week of work and its awesome haha. Now I'm back to playing it in the evening 😄

But I love the state of the game already

[frigid orbit]

Yeah. It is great and devs are awesome 🙂

[tight wolf]

Does Werebear swipe uses the swipe nodes?

[urban horizon]

Yes

[junior basin]

do the echos actually stop at one point or do they branch out endlessly?

[tight wolf]

So it also gets a CD with this?

[frigid orbit]

At some point there is a shade at each end limiting the web

[junior basin]

ah ok, cool ty

[urban horizon]

Have not tested that node but yes it should unless you take Natural Cadence

[tight wolf]

if i take both spirit wolves passives can I double proc wolves on 1 swipe?

too many questions haha

[solar bronze]

hi, i have a mechanics question. How do multiple sources of "less damage taken" stack. e.g. Endurance, death seal and wings of argentus

[tight wolf]

Does dmg increase while a dot effect takes place increase the dmg of the current dot? Or is the dmg calculated in the beginning?

[frigid orbit]

beginning. expect for damage taken multipliers

Meaning the damage of DoT instane itself is not updated. Only increased damage taken/damage reductions are accounted for when the damage is damage is inflicted.

Penetration from applying skills is inherited to the dot

[dark fox]

The "less" keyword makes them apply multiplicatively, regardless of order.

[solar bronze]

thanks

[ornate coral]

do the enemy modifiers on a monolith timeline apply to the quest echoes boss? Curious if i've just given lagos 100% extra hp and crit

[frigid orbit]

Yes it does

[ornate coral]

oh joy

[tulip ruin]

Where can I find the base damage of my minions?

[rigid wagon]

I am sadge i can't play my build because of crazy drop of fps. Does anybody saw big changes in fps because of Dots ?

[frigid orbit]

I always have problems in my bleed builds in some echoes. Even before the patch. For frostbite this patch I didn't have any fps issues...

[rigid wagon]

I am bleed

i can have sands storms from multiple serpents etc no drop , the second i apply bleed to a pack i drop a lot

[gusty laurel]

is there a planned fix for not being able to equip a 2h automatically without having to unequip 1h wep first?

its actually driving me a bit mad 😛

[rigid wagon]

Update on my fps issues it was the damages numbers the cause of it

but it's weird i played a build more intense with damages numbers and got no problems

[peak shard]

Are you saying you disabled dmg numbers and fps got better? Bcs I also struggle with fps on a bleed build and everyone in general says game runs smooth

[rigid wagon]

Yeah i don't as much with out them

@peak shard

[peak shard]

Will try later

[rigid wagon]

It can be a Me problem solved tho i would like to know if it's work for you too if possible @peak shard

[peak shard]

I’ll let u know if anything changes

[rigid wagon]

Because i also noticed that the audio play a big role too when i drop fps

[tight wolf]

Hey guys. Concerning the boardman set. Is it enough just to hope for the proc to summon totem?

[dense remnant]

yep

[exotic estuary]

That did the trick! Thanks a bunch.

Yeah, for some reason the cloud didn't copy the files.

[ionic oxide]

what's the best way to farm a draalsting?

[flint abyss]

How much corruption is needed for the belt?

I saw 120 but I didn't get it after over 20 tries

[brittle atlas]

the belt is pretty rare

[tight wolf]

It doesnt scale with adaptive spell dmg does it?

[frigid orbit]

adaptive spell damage is for cold skills cold spell damage

Adaptive spell damage is evenly split between all elemental tags of a skill.

[tight wolf]

I mean minion adaptive spell dmg

obviously

😄

usally DoT dont scale with flat dmg

thats why I ask

[frigid orbit]

I am not sure about that. Does Totems count as Minions? If so, minion adaptive spell damage should scale it

[tight wolf]

Btw Oeller is ur ingame nick oeller as well?

yeah totems count as minions

if I play lets say a minion dot (bleed or poison) it just scales with inc minion dmg, dmg over time and the respective dmg effectiveness

all ofc minion related

[frigid orbit]

all tags only scale minion damage if they include the word minion

[mortal jasper]

Where do screenshot's go (file location wise)?

[frigid orbit]

But yeah: DoT is mostly scale by generic damage, its associated elemental damage, damage over time and effectiveness/duration for some ailments

[tight wolf]

well besides that node which confuses me about the spell dmg part. So does it only be increased by "increase minion / totem spell dmg" or does it also increase by "totem adaptive spell dmg"?

[tight wolf]

isnt this a steam dependent option for ingame screenshots?

[mortal jasper]

Yeah

I believe so f12, is it somewhere in steam?

[frigid orbit]

It should not scale by flat damage as its damage over time, miss read it first

[tight wolf]

but dots dont scale with spell dmg in general. and in the case of aftershocks they scale with melee / phys even when taking the DoT node (if I got it correctly) which is also quite confusing

[frigid orbit]

Yes, DoTs do not scale with flat damage. Ailments do not scale with spell damage since they are not a spell. Here you have a damage over time spell thus it still scales with spell damage.
Aftershock Upheveal's wording lets assume that it is not converted to damage over time but its hit damage is applied multiple times -> damage over time.

Therefore the aftershocks scale as before and are still unaffected by damage over time increases

[elfin nova]

hey i didnt see the lasts pathnotes did they nerf static orb?

[frigid orbit]

You mean hotfixes or 0.8.3? 0.8.3 had a great static orb rework

[elfin nova]

0.8.3 C and D i didnt see them*

i have a mage lvl 70+ and when iv stoped my static orb had 29k dmg +

and now its 5.4k

dont know if i have missed some patch but i think i missed them x)

[frigid orbit]

Htey didnt change anything about it to my knowledge. I play sttic orb myself

[ocean bobcat]

at lvl 75+ is the goal to overcap our resistances?

[dense remnant]

no, 75 is capped

overcapping by definition isnt needed

[frigid orbit]

Overcapping only helps against shred or mark of death. The base penetration (75% above area level 75) cannot be mitigated. By going to 75% resistance you avoid getting negative resistances.

[empty terrace]

Is there anyway to speed up the initial activation on the skill "Synchronized Strike? There's a delay between pressing the key and the actual attack animation. Does attack speed/cast speed reduce that delay?

[fierce kraken]

If you want a detailed explaination of why it is better for monsters to have pen, here is a reddit reply i made with example of how a game w/ and w/o pen would look like. https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/p5xh7w/hello_i_could_use_some_help_with_understanding/h99ibn0?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

the tl;dr if the devs give the monster both pen and lower base damage, it means differences from that point are much less drastic.

[faint venture]

Any guides to improve performance? I have stuttering constantly if I dont set my vsync to half (which I cant do ingame for some reason, via .ini file). I can play most of games just fine, was playing sekiro not too long ago, so im sure the stuttering is not graphics related

[hard palm]

what quality are you playing on? i've just always played on medium even though i shouldn't be either cpu or gpu bottlenecked

texture quality is still p decent on medium just losing shadows mostly

[faint venture]

I can run it on medium but it doesnt seem to be related to graphics I think, since I have no stuttering with vsync in half, but fps stays at 30

I have a gaming laptop, i cant acess some of nvidia panel options, I wonder if its related to that

The problem is just the stuttering tbh, and its totally related to vsync as far as I can tell

[lone skiff]

how come t4 void damage has this roll

while t3 void damage has this?

[knotty hinge]

The ranges can vary by item slot.

[peak shard]

Because rolls on different item slots are not the same

[lone skiff]

oh ive never noticed it before

a lot of them are the same though like skill specific affixes and health regen and such

[peak shard]

Skill specific affixes are even unique to one item slot afaik

[lone skiff]

just helmet and body right

sometimes can do + level on relic

[peak shard]

Like one skill only rolls on a body armor, other on helm

And relic yeah

[lone skiff]

well honestly i have several lvl 100 chars and i have never used a non unique 2h

so i never saw that before

maybe 2 hand has higher stats

[iron thistle]

2h weapon mods are at like 3.2x and 1h weapons at 1.75 affix value. If I'm remembering what I read correctly.

Compared to armor slot affixes I think.

[lone skiff]

thats interesting ive never looked into that

makes sense though

[acoustic thicket]

good for minion build?

[hard palm]

i'd play both minion builds with stacking stats for defense

so str for armor on primalist or int on necro for ward

having a single exalted minion health can be enough with the tree from the hp standpoint though which is nice

[acoustic thicket]

yes yes it wants me to minion build

Im not falling for it

[empty vortex]

anyone on here played POE before? if so I started playing lately and i'm just wondering if there's any skills or passive that acts like eldritch battery (using energy shield or ward as mana)?

[wide sentinel]

no

its also quite impossible to exist because ward is constantly decaying in this game unlike in poe

[narrow wharf]

man idk which mono to farm

[copper fable]

What is the explosion damage on the ruptured corpse node of bone curse based off, it does not have extra info when holding alt

[neat carbon]

How are people triggering smite with multistrike?

[strong plover]

do higher zones give more exp on lower level making leveling faster or is exp scaled

[young tendon]

Swords smite instead node i think. Havent looked into it much

[frigid orbit]

Yes. There is no exp penalty

[young tendon]

Only used it for minions and armor

[strong plover]

@frigid orbit Thanks. Unfortunately not quite what I was asking, but, I´ll take it as is.

[frigid orbit]

Ok. Thought it was clear. Exp is based on area minion level and you don't get any penalty if you are not close to this area level. Thus, higher zones provide higher amount of exp per kill. But always keep in mind that if you are slower you may get less exp per hour when running higher level zones.
Better? 😄

[strong plover]

Exactly what I was looking for 🙂

[supple marsh]

Can enemies have crit reduction?

[fierce kraken]

do you mean less dmg taken from crits or crit avoidance?

[supple marsh]

I didn't know to exist 2 type of defensive mod lol

Ah, I mean crit avoidance

[fierce kraken]

they have access to crit avoidance via echo mods

i don't think it shows up as rare modifiers but i might have just missed it

[supple marsh]

thank you for the information!

[marble vortex]

When this Game in German?

[frigid orbit]

Localisation will not be done before release. I think this was one of their statements.

[marble vortex]

Schade

[tight wolf]

hey guys. Does anybody know if my personal increase to cast speed help if I summon a minion?

Does is reduce the cast time?

[young tendon]

Minion cast speed is seperate

But it will let you summon faster if you spam summons

[frigid orbit]

He is talking about the summoning time. I think it should be scaled by cast speed.

[young tendon]

Yeah its a cast im pretty sure so it should increase rate of summoning

[tight wolf]

nice!

[young tendon]

Id test it to be sure just in case

[brave ibex]

Is Frostbite Shackles empowered mono drop only?

[frigid orbit]

No

[brave ibex]

Ty

[frigid orbit]

But it is the rare drop. I run 300+ corruption and although I get a lot of rarity it drops only every 5th or so boss

[gusty laurel]

is the valdyrs chalice just a random drop in the last ruin timeline or?

[frigid orbit]

It can drop everywhere

[devout sage]

question about resistances?
how does the enemies penetrate 1% per area level thing work?
if i am at a area level 50 i would need 125% res?

[frigid orbit]

No

Enemies penetrate resistance and it is applied after the resistance cap of 75%. Therefore getting over 75% is not useful considering penetration of enemies. At area level 75 and above you effectively have a maximum effective resistance of 0% (75% - penetration)

[devout sage]

ahh oke thank you

[frigid orbit]

Thanks to this scaling and balance around having 0% effective resistance one percent-point missing only resuslts in 1% additional damage taken in difference to games like PoE where you get 4% more damage when missing 1 percent-point

Overcapping resistance only helps against resistance shred or a debuff called mark of death. These are applied before the resistance cap.
Another thing you should keep in mind is that resistances can go to negative values

[devout sage]

yea i guess trying to increase max res cap is not really worth it then

how do you deal with DoT damage late game then though? only ress really works against that (or getting lifesteal+regen)

[frigid orbit]

To my knowledge it is not even possible to get it above 75%. In general jsut try to get close to 75% but dont waste to much damage for the last percentages.

[frigid orbit]

Leech, there is an amulet with less damage taken over time, talents and trying to not get hit to often. Or some ailment removal like from holy aura

[devout sage]

thank you

[supple marsh]

what does it mean +x to yy skills?
I guess that affect maximum point of yy tag skills, correct?

[knotty hinge]

Yes it will provide an additional skill point for you to allocate.

[dusky robin]

hello all, i'm thinking of getting this game

i read that druid will be getting a rework - has this happened yet? and as someone thinking of buying this game, how is it for casual play? PoE was FAR too overwhelming, and I liked D3 casually, for seasonal play, rifting on torment, etc

[spare citrus]

It’s very good for casual play. It’s between D3 and PoE (leaning more in the direction of D3).

[marble geyser]

The Druid rework is slated for next patch.

[smoky glade]

is there a difference between "% inc dmg while holding a bow" and " %inc bow damage"?

[fierce kraken]

yes

inc dmg while X is generic dmg so long as X is satisfied

[smoky glade]

and 'bow dmg' is only for skills with bow tag?

[fierce kraken]

Bow dmg is only hit dmg from a bow

[smoky glade]

ah

thanks

reign of winter icicle is a spell

so 'bow dmg' wouldn't raise it right?

[fierce kraken]

correct

[smoky glade]

ah ok

[young tendon]

still might be good added damage if you go into cold damage

[smoky glade]

first one is better though

would give dmg to icicle too

[fierce kraken]

yes

it depends on how you do it but typically for bow mage, icicles do the dmg

[smoky glade]

global is always better

they have the same ranges too

[sonic kraken]

Is there a hard limit on how many exalted mods can you get on an item or it's theoretically possible to get a full t8 item?

[frigid orbit]

T7 is highest; you could get all T7

But I assume it is way more rare than a mirror in PoE

[sonic kraken]

Yeah I figured it was pretty much like winning a lottery but was wondering if it's even possible

[smoky glade]

best i got is 1x t7 1x t6

dont think there is a hard limit

[brittle atlas]

There's no limit

[sonic kraken]

Also while on the topic of loot is it worth it to pick up stuff to sell it or I shouldn't bother?

[frigid orbit]

Dont sell. Only shatter useful stuff for some rare shards you need

[sonic kraken]

What about uniques/set items? They have pretty decent gold value

[dusky robin]

thank you

[dusky robin]

okay cool

[narrow wharf]

you want "damage while wielding bow" to scale it from chest/head/idol pieces

cold damage/crit multi on other pieces

as far as added cold - those unique boots + spamming dex on quiver crit multi/aspeed are probably the better affixes and/or implicit

Also a good tech is +2/3 on flurry so you can get both extra stack of adrenaline and the mana on hit node

[dusky robin]

so, starting off for the first time should i go in blind, or follow a build guide

or just make corections after wards to my build (if thats possible lol)

[dense remnant]

blind!

go blind until you really feel like you have no idea what to do/hit a wall and cant figure out what to do to get past

theres basically a build for everything at this point (google boardman last epoch builds)

so whatever you end up going for, there's gonna be something out there that will have some information you can use if you get stuck

but honestly you'll be fine

the games super intuitive

[dusky robin]

Awesome, thanks!

I will look that up once I hit a wall, I will do my best to go in truly blind so I don't see anything beforehand 🙂

[narrow wharf]

What's the easiest way to get quick corruption -> keep finding shades almost as soon as i get them (given they give +1) or ignore and keep trying to get as far as possible from center?

Or result is generally same?

[dense remnant]

go as far as you can

[frigid orbit]

They can give up to +16 I think. Maybe ven higher

Would never reset below 9 and only when you are really in a dead end you cant escape without many monoloths

[frosty ingot]

anyone here know of a good controller friendly character to start out with? I haven't played for a long time

[warped wren]

What are the white dots/diamonds above the skills at the bottom of the screen? Do they mean anything?

[dense remnant]

charges

[tawdry violet]

I'm starting out in LE and im curious what incentives are there for doing 2handed, dual wield (there's a passive node in Primalist), and 1h + shield
Would 2handed builds miss out on a ton of resists from the lack of shield?
I think i might have other defensive setups so I'm kinda interested in 2h or dual wield

[topaz solar]

is multiplayer out guys ?

[acoustic thicket]

hey guys, i have an issue withthe build planner. Anyone know why when I try to use the link I saved for my build my browser gets a "Not allowed" message from the website?

[topaz solar]

i buy 4 of this game for my friends anrealize is dont have multiplayer yet . i come back after a 2 week now

[knotty hinge]

It's down, he's working on a fix.

[acoustic thicket]

WEll, i picked a good time to make a build 🤣 thanks

[knotty hinge]

You could try: https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/gearplanner in the interim.

[acoustic thicket]

I probably will

The other one has skills and idols, but oh well

[past coral]

how do i go here?

[knotty hinge]

There is a door/portal in Thetima

[past coral]

alright found it, thank you.

[iron thistle]

It's intended to be out by end of year or early 2022, I think. Depends on development speed and such.

[copper fable]

https://i.imgur.com/iLx3PED.png Does anyone know the specifications of what this does? Does it cause him to always double strike? is this just a straight upgrade in that case?

[odd granite]

IS the dps shown on skill accurate ?

[viscid fern]

Sometimes yes, tometimes no.

[acoustic thicket]

how i do empowered timelines?

[frosty mirage]

Complete the 3 level 90 monos, then return to the platform where all three 90 monos branch out from and click the stone in the middle of the platform

[hollow socket]

Melee has something of an aimbot here, it spins you around so you face the enemy. At least some attacks do, for example rive and multistrike on the sentinel. These should definitely be controller-friendly.

[hollow socket]

I like that 2-handed can crutch on "%less damage taken from critical strikes" as a weapon mod until you get 100% crit avoidance. Dual wielding has the highest damage stats (it combines both weapons' added damage, for example) but there'll be a point where the 15% more damage taken will make the slight difference between getting stunned or not. Still totally worth using.

[acoustic thicket]

thx!!

[acoustic thicket]

Anyway to see exp% on our exp bar?

[soft bramble]

I have a question about timeline exclusive rewards. Its only mentioning gear type not specific drops. How does it work?

Nodes with unique armor in the monolith maps? Or that it will be dropped from last quest echo's boss?

Is there a list of uniques that are timeline exclusive?

[timber temple]

how rare is orain's eye, is it realistically farmable if I focus on age of winter unique amulet echos and use the increased drop rate blessing?

[urban horizon]

Orians drop rate is like 0,0002% chance so it's not realistic to farm.

[crimson gorge]

Are the tooltips in the game accurate? Like if I swap weapons/gear and it shows as higher DPS, is it really? Or is it like POE where there are many interactions that are not counted in the DPS tooltips?

[urban horizon]

Just like in poe it's not accurate but it will allow you to check if weapon is an upgrade during leveling

[night elm]

Im playing a Necromancer, quick question: Game help EXACTLY says that only affixes with "to minion" etc. count towards the actual minion stats. what about "Increased spell crit". the Summoned minions are considered "spells" so the crit chance and damage too ?

Short: Do "spell" buffs count towards my "minions" too or only the exactly specified affixes ? ?

[frosty mirage]

Minions have a spell critical strike chance affix as well. I believe it’s a suffix on two hand staffs, might be other places as well. I’d have to check to be sure

Edit: it’s Primalist only and on Helmet and Body Armor from what I could see

[night elm]

I know, my question was if my minions gain benefits from "spell" buffs

"Increased spell damage" etc.

[gilded crystal]

I would say no

[frosty mirage]

Nope, would need to be shared or minion

[gilded crystal]

I crafted a wand with minus cost mana for spells to try on my volatile zombies, and that didnt work either

[night elm]

ok, thanks for the help

so basically every wand, sceptre or staff is entirely useless except for minion affixes ?

[dusky robin]

what's the end game in this like right now?

[fierce kraken]

if you play poe, its like delve but flat

jk, im kinda trolling

[dusky robin]

don't worry i dont understand that anyway lol

only played PoE a couple times, never got past beginning

[shadow void]

There are some implicits that improve minion damage such as https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/item/80GI Also other affixes/implicits like cast speed and cost are still beneficial for 100% pet builds.

[dusky robin]

i don't like having to study for a game 😛

[fierce kraken]

first of what arpg experience do you have?

[dusky robin]

D3 mainly. played seasonal characters and did rifting

Played Torchlight 2 and 3 a little, no end game stuff tho

[fierce kraken]

i dont know what G rifting is, but many people have compared LE's monolith to it.

[dusky robin]

ooo ok

[fierce kraken]

you click on islands with specific reward and kill monsters to complete an objective, get specific and random rewards at the end

[dusky robin]

yeah that sounds alot like rifts and greater rifts in D3

makes sense

[fierce kraken]

they have additional endgames planned too, but we only know the names and even those might be outdated.

[dusky robin]

oh nice! I think I saw those on the roadmap

I'm really impressed with how transparent the devs seem, and in touch with their community

[fierce kraken]

there is also arena where you can compete on a ladder

[dusky robin]

oh nice!

I'm looking forward to playing this tonight or tomorrow 🙂

[night elm]

Not the answer i was looking for. Do Minions get buffed directly from "increased spell damage". Every abbility with Minions is a "Spell". Increased crit with "spells" etc.

[shadow void]

Minions do not get buffed from "increased spell damage" that is only your spell damage.

needs to be "increased minion spell damage"

[grand umbra]

does adapative spell damage increase the dmg of holy trail dot ?

[shadow void]

yep, and they changed how it works in the newest patch https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/beta-0-8-3e-patch-notes/44390

[grand umbra]

ah okay

[tawdry violet]

Looking at item affixes, i noticed that there's "chance to chill/shock" etc etc
Do these ailments need cold/lightning damage to be strong? can any build just benefit from it?

[shadow void]

chill is always good without, shock I would say you normally want to use lightning (it does however provide higher stun chance)
https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ailment/shock

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ailment/chill

[tawdry violet]

Thanks! 😄 seems interesting if i can fit some in in the future

For healing effectiveness, what does that affect?
Does it affect a) Leech, b) health regen, c) flat sources of healing in passives, d) skills that do flat healing andor heal over time, e) flasks?

[shadow void]

iirc it only affects skills that specifically say "heal" on them

note some say "gain" which isn't affected

[tawdry violet]

ah i'll keep an eye out on that. thanks again 😄

[strong vault]

so i just started the game and I'm having an issue with the audio, theres heavy stutter from all sources.

Is there a fix for that? It seems to be tied to performance but I'm well within the recommended specs

[green tendon]

Does anyone know of a way to downgrade to the last patch? I want to test something but already updated before thinking of it.

[strong vault]

I'm not really seeing anything about audio issues on the support forums, so let me try reinstalling first. It feels like a fairly big bug so it might just be a botched install

Could vsync be to blame?

[short roost]

I just saw a potion on the floor labeled as "Beer". Is that a joke or easter egg?

[smoky glade]

easter egg

[short roost]

Thanks.

[supple marsh]

I have a question about "cast when hit" effect. For example, Briarskin node casts Ice Thorns with no cost of mana, as instant, no cooldown?
At least, I feel Bramble armour doesn't need any cast time or mana cost.

[fading jackal]

Can you duplicate character saves?

[empty terrace]

If you receive a "Glancing Blow", you receive 65% of the damage and reduce 35%? So 1000 damage = 650 damage?

[smoky glade]

i think it just reduces the damage you take by 35% after all the calculations

so yeah if u took after all calculations 1000 u would actually take 650

[empty terrace]

What confuses me is why you would select it over dodge?

[smoky glade]

dodge chance is capped at 80%

glancing blow is not capped

also dodge chance depends on area level, in higher area level it gets lower

[empty terrace]

So 10 hits for 100 damage each = 1000 damage

80% dodge = 2 hits (on average) hit me, for 200 damage

100% Glancing = 10 hits hit me, for 650 damage

even if you half my dodge by 50% for 40% dodge, dodge still wins in the end with 400 damage

Feel like I'm missing something

[smoky glade]

if area level is higher you need more dodge rating to raise the dodge chance

[empty terrace]

Yeah, that's why I halved it, just for arguments sake. Appreciate you engaging as I'm trying to figure out why people go glancing, feels like the numbers dont work out

[smoky glade]

probably because to have a good dodge chance will require a huge investment

it will take affix slots etc

[shadow void]

glancing blow raises your 1 shot damage cap and there are many things can trigger off of glancing blow just like dodge

I used both as a Rogue

[empty terrace]

I agree, I think that's the main reason, but so far it hasnt been too pervasive for me...I'm at 66% dodge with perfection up

gotcha @shadow void this is why I ask...this node and builds around this node seem confusing to me:

[smoky glade]

bladedancer specifically has that Apostasy passive node

yeah

[empty terrace]

Stacking layers makes sense to me (both glancing and dodge), but abandoning it completely seems confusing

but I saw a top build doing just that

[smoky glade]

you can invest a bit in dodge and since its 2x you can get 100% glancing blow chance easily

[empty terrace]

yar

[smoky glade]

frees up more areas u can invest in damage etc

[empty terrace]

Well thanks, if this is the main reasoning, I think I'll use both, I honestly love the 66% dodge so far, think I've died once after clearing 5 timelines

[smoky glade]

maybe this is not HC oriented? idk

[shadow void]

there are some builds that use that node, you could watch them to see why they recommend it. I have never personally taken it

[empty terrace]

Yeah, I did see the build, it was a top ladder one, as in #1 and it just seems less ideal but it worked for him

Anyway, I got my answer, thanks all, bladedancer is fun

[shadow void]

yeah, my guess is because of the previous thing noobita said about freeing up stats for damage tbh

[empty terrace]

yar

[strong vault]

ok so I'm new to Last Epoch, my performance and fps is fine, but the audio is choppy, with extreme stuttering. Is there a fix for this?

This doesn't seem to be a common problem but I have no idea why the audio would be having issues

it starts about 30 seconds after starting the game, and persists after that. (sound is fine for first 30 seconds)

its most noticable with music and environmental effects, and voice lines

[spare citrus]

Anything we can help with? We've support articles and a contact form at https://support.lastepoch.com/.

[worldly stone]

Do skills with duration round up or down?

Like if my duration of something is 7.8 seconds, will it count as 7 or 8?

[dense remnant]

its 7.8

[pearl epoch]

What's a good way of sustaining Warpath Smite as a 1h/Shield setup?

Is it even possible?

[copper fable]

Are you talking mana sustain? Warpath can be made free for 5 points in its skill tree

[pseudo dust]

or a risky 3

[tawdry violet]

How easy is it to swap between skill specializations? I'm torn between picking two of three skills

Not sure how much my passives/gear will swap based on the two that i take

[pseudo dust]

gear, passives, and skill swaps are pretty easy, blessing changes are more time consuming

[tawdry violet]

ah right, still in story so that'll take a while

can all blessings be item drop related? or does each blessing slot do a specific thing

[copper fable]

Yes, some blessings give you buffs to drop rates like "more wands" "more uniques" etc.

[tawdry violet]

if i understand right, you need to do certain areas to get blessings

[copper fable]

Yep and each area has its own list of options for its blessing

[tawdry violet]

Oh ok so each has a unique pool, neat 😄

[young tendon]

do increases to shrapnel from volcanic orb also increase meteor shrapnel and vice versa?

[brittle atlas]

no

[young tendon]

damn, figured it would since its the exact same spell name

[tawdry violet]

I'm at chapter 4, ~lvl 29
Should I be shattering t1-t2 items if they're 2-4 affixes that i want for later on?

[brittle atlas]

Depends how many shatters you have available

I'd say you probably want to have enough to ensure you can shatter the stuff you need short term before you get to endgame and they come more plentiful

[tawdry violet]

i've got like 10ish
Should probably buy them more from merchants? i see it from time to time

[random dock]

I would buy every time they pop up

[brittle atlas]

Yeah, if you have the money they're probably the best way to spend it super early on

as long as you have enough to gamble new weapon bases and then armor bases in the mid 60s-70s

[tawdry violet]

hmm gotcha thanks!
I haven't been spending it actually, just a few random gambles here and there. Been gearing as I see drops so far which probably isn't smart since crafting here is super accessibl

Nabbing more stash tabs would be neat but I haven't felt the need to stock stuff aside from idols and uniques
Since I'm just at the start

[tawdry violet]

looking at my build concept, it seems i ramp up into more stacks of stuff and such
Is endgame monster density pretty ok to maintain these things or are there large pauses that make me fall off stacks?

[copper fable]

https://i.imgur.com/K1J8HIu.png more or increased? Ive heard some people call it more, but the wording isnt more... And I cant quite tell on the dummy because my minions damage range is really big

[green spindle]

Does Abyssal Decay stack?

[plush sonnet]

You can still drop like, any sentinel idol while on another class right ?

[jagged slate]

Yes, it is possible to find class specific items on different classes

[plush sonnet]

Was wondering cause im searching for Keen idols (smite chance)

And im on my mage

crossing fingers 😄

[topaz valve]

Hey, some quests give me an idol inventory expansion reward, even though I have max idol inv size? What does it do?

[jagged slate]

maybe it's a quest put in in case someone doesn't do a quest earlier on that gave an idol expansion?

[balmy geode]

Does the mod "increased fire damage" also increase ignite damage? Just asking for confirmation, it changes the tooltip, just wanna be sure

[copper fable]

yes

[balmy geode]

Thank you

[empty terrace]

What is your base bleed chance based off?

[balmy geode]

I think it starts at 0

[empty terrace]

So how do you "get" initial bleed damage?

[balmy geode]

It starts at 0% and every %increased is an additive to that, not a multiplicative. So your first 20% makes you go from 0-20%, another 110% and you get 130% etc

[empty terrace]

Right but how do you get the base chance? For example, a weapon with 10 melee damage is your base

then you can add or multiply to it, but it starts at 10 damage

[balmy geode]

Oh, damage, I am blind af, missed that

It doesn't work like in PoE where the weapon or any form of base damage from anywhere affects your bleed dps

[empty terrace]

So how do you get your initial damage number? it has to base somewhere

[balmy geode]

"The base bleed damage is 48 (over 4 seconds)" straight from the wiki

[empty terrace]

ah

so 48 to start

[balmy geode]

It might be in the game guide, G in game

Yeah

[empty terrace]

12/sec

interesting

[copper fable]

yeah the ailments in this game take some time to get used to, I suggest reading the game guide about them it gives a pretty good run down on them. They are fairly unique in this game.

[balmy geode]

Not sure if you knew, but if you have more than 100% bleed chance in this game you can inflict multiple bleeds/any other ailments per hit.
And Dice is right, reading the guide is good

[empty terrace]

Yeah, this will be new to wrap my head around

Trying to do something spicy with my bladedancer and go full on bleed, poison, shock

[balmy geode]

Lmao that's spicy alright

[lyric willow]

A quick question: If a skill is procced (or replaced) by another one, does it benefit form the nodes of the used skill? The specific example is: if I replace the swords of Multistrike with Smite, does Smite use the nodes of Multistrike (like more damage form Path of Knight or base crit from Alpha Cuts nodes)?

[hollow socket]

I believe those skills don't inherit tree nodes. For example, I could never spawn a skeleton vanguard from another dying skeleton vanguard, even if the minion that initially died had a chance to spawn a vanguard on death.

[lyric willow]

bummer, thank you for the answer

[muted shale]

The Smite generated by Multistrike will have the same properties and upgrades from your specialized Smite tree

[lyric willow]

Yes, I understand that, I was wondering if Smite would also have the properties of Multistrike since Smite "replaces" it with the Hallowed Arsenal node, but I guess not.

[frosty mirage]

It won’t, it’s because the two skills are separate entities, just that one is being procced by another source other than direct cast

[acoustic thicket]

how i unlock the 2 zone on left im missing

i redo the 58lvl map

?

[raven rover]

do boss and take the past

[plush sonnet]

I think so yeah, and at the end unlock the past

[raven rover]

future = right path past = left

[acoustic thicket]

cool ty

ohh okok

[raven rover]

also theres a lvl dif
past is lower lvl than future

[tawdry violet]

do these two work together

it states "grants you"

but it sounds like its Berserk that applies it

[shadow void]

Given how things work with Manifest Armor I would assume it works, but I don't know for sure

[dusky robin]

so I know I asked something similar the other day, but as a new player, what's the easiest class to not fuck up a build going in blind

[acoustic thicket]

so you take fire damage over 2 seconds after killing an enemy with a fire skill. my question is, does it count as being ignited?

[plush sonnet]

Didnt test it, but I dont see why it would

ignite is the fire dot right ?

[smoky glade]

it doesnt say you are ignited

so no

[shadow void]

What is that affix supposed to synergize with if it doesn't ignite?

[raven rover]

i had that helmet on my firemage
but i died at lvl 77 to orobyss

[acoustic thicket]

nothing I guess, it'd be nice if it synergized with Soulfire for 100% armor increase while ignited

[shadow void]

yeah that is what I thought it did

but I never tested it

[acoustic thicket]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/calamity-self-ignite-bug/23108

judging from this post it looks like it did ignite at some point. can anyone confirm?

[shadow void]

I should be able to test in a couple hours if no one else knows

[hollow socket]

If this affix synergized with ignite you'd burn yourself really fast.

Like, way faster than you could regenerate.

[shadow void]

well I was thinking it would be more like ignite but it deals less damage and duration

[hollow socket]

I mean, let's say you inflict 8 ignites per hit.

And you hit one enemy.

[shadow void]

it is per kill

[hollow socket]

Then this here is 32 base damage, multiplied with all your increases and more.

You should be able to oneshot yourself with that on almost any build.

[shadow void]

Just to clarify the affix is the one that has you take 4 fire damage over 2 seconds per kill

[hollow socket]

Oh, let me fix that.

Now you're clearly gonna oneshot yourself. ^^

[shadow void]

you are assuming that scales with your own modifiers

[hollow socket]

Yes, that was your question. Whether it scales as an ignite, right?

[shadow void]

no

the question is if it counts as being ignited

I was assuming that damage doesn't scale with your modifiers, but I have never worn the helmet 🙂

[copper fable]

Well even if it didnt, if it was an ignite, even a base one you would feel it. Especially if you ramped it up.

It probably used to be an ignite and was changed because people wouldnt use it cause self igniting 20 ignites on a small spider pack would suck.

[shadow void]

that is 80 damage over 2 seconds btw

[copper fable]

but im 80% sure its not an ignite, you get no debuff icon for the ailment. its just a really small sad fire dot.

[shadow void]

assuming it doesn't scale with your modifiers and not taking into account your resists

[hollow socket]

I am certain it doesn't.

My fire over time disintegrate mage would not last a second if it did.^^

[shadow void]

agreed

[hollow socket]

Look at the item's level, it's likely just an early crutch for low life.

[gusty laurel]

is there a way to respec multiple passives at once or is it 1 poin t at a time?

[pseudo dust]

1 point at a time

or get your class completely changed by a patch

[narrow wharf]

Is there any build similar in terms of speed/damage to bowmage?

[hollow socket]

So this scalebane fence, how much can I sell to him for and does he ever pay more than gold? ^^

[smoky glade]

[long bramble]

guys any builds which can clear big packs and not lack on clear?

[dense remnant]

the majority of builds have clear

because theres not really bossing in the game

if its a good build, it has clear

[shut vapor]

How do Dread shade " All of one ", " Egoism ", " Beyond Death ", and "Symbiotic Apparition" nodes work together? All nodes specify " on the targeted minion ", but it became an aura now with Sym App node. Besides , if it is an aura , how will it have a cooldown ( what is the duration of the aura ) ?

Egoism :
Minion Always Crits
Cooldown (seconds) 18

All For One :
Damage +60%
No Aura Buffs

Symbiotic Apparition:
Yourself And Allies Affected

Beyond Death:
Volatile Zombie Chance 25% per point
When a minion targeted by a Dread Shade dies, you have a chance to summon a Volatile Zombies from its corpse.

they are a common drop so should be relatively easy to get em

Serious question which class/build is currently considered strongest dot build?

[hollow socket]

Is there a point making avalanche fall in a circle around you when you can just spin your mouse around?

Any way to know the base minion freezing rate ( specially skeleton mage ) ? What about the total ( added ) minion freezing rate ? Could not find it in the stats

Wondering if it is worth it to forge such stats on my gear ( got 5 cryo skeleton mages )

[balmy geode]

Hello! Is there any point in me saving completely useless exalted items? AKA irreparably bricked ones or stats on wrong bases? I can't transmute like 3 into 1 new or smth like that, right?

[smoky glade]

u cant

[random dock]

you can shatter them for the affixes

[balmy geode]

Yeah, but the tier doesn't influence the chance or amount of shards you get, right?

[smoky glade]

tier of the affix = max amount of shards you can get

so if u have a tier 5 it can get between 0-5

if i recall correctly

[narrow wharf]

dot ailments (ignite/poison) can be stacked indefinitely right

[random dock]

tier does influence the amount you get

its still random though

[balmy geode]

Thank you @random dock @smoky glade ❤️

[snow spruce]

Yes

[worldly narwhal]

hey guys i hate to be that guy because im pretty sure its been asked a billion times, but i just wanted to ask how multiplayer is coming along, any new updates 🙂

[brittle atlas]

!multiplayer

[ripe brook]

Multiplayer is still being worked on. Here's an update: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/official-last-epoch-multiplayer-faq/42036.

[narrow wharf]

and is 'added' X damage considered base damage when calculating how big ignite/poison will be?

[brittle atlas]

ignite/poison isn't impacted by the base damage of skills

ailments have their own base damage

[shadow void]

The big thing for ailments is the more modifiers on skills as long as it doesn't say "more hit damage"

[lone skiff]

does this affect throwing attacks? I.E. hammer throw

[trim heath]

Yes

[lone skiff]

thank you, appreciate it

[acoustic thicket]

Looking at building a new PC here in the next month-month and a half (minus GPU, which will be replaced once prices are better - reusing my 5600XT for now) and I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on what I could improve on to run LE as smooth as possible
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/4jJ4xc

[random dock]

should run LE no problem BUT keep in mind that the game is still unoptimized

[acoustic thicket]

Thanks

[deep nexus]

Hi , does the void rift bonuses from volataxic rift will apply to void rift created from the forgotten knight set

[brave jolt]

Anyone dealt with this before?

I can't get to the new content because the waypoint is locked. It wasn't yesterday. I talked to Yulia but before I could travel an emergency occurred so I shut it down and then today this.

[knotty hinge]

Try taking the portal in Thetima again. @brave jolt

[brave jolt]

I lost some of my character data didn't I?

thank you. I just saw it on the forum

Oh no I didn't. Thanks!!

[dapper root]

What is the difference between channeling skills and non-channeling skills? Love this game so far!!

[knotty hinge]

Channeled skills have a tag such as the screenshot I attached. The benefits or drawbacks will vary from skill to skill and channeled skills typically force your character to stand in place while casting/channeling.

[tidal bridge]

is there diff between physical damage and bow physical damage? for marksman

[warm dust]

I know spirit plague doesn't stack, but can it spread to a target already affected by spirit plague? For ailment stacking purposes

[balmy geode]

Hey guys, this quest
https://i.gyazo.com/3c0da97b88504fecde13b19f3904b4e4.png
What does it mean? I've completed the quest echos twice, and I kind of want to get rid of it in my quest log. What do I gotta do?

[warm dust]

Not positive, but I believe it means you need to go through the monolith (completing all 3 quest echoes) and choose both options at the end, so you unlock both "the stolen lance" and "the black sun"

[balmy geode]

Worth a shot, will try it right now! Thanks

[hollow socket]

It can't, AFAIK, but there might be a bug where all spirit plagues chain to the same enemy when you pick the node that chains more plagues on kill since this bug is very common in the game when new targets are selected at the same time.

But it might just have no effect then.

[warm dust]

so, did some testing, it seems that it doesn't matter since spirit plague isn't applying bleed at all when it spreads (at least, I'm not getting affected by exsanguinate when it spreads, even to a new target, so I'm assuming it doesn't work for hemorrage either)

which kinda sucks

[balmy geode]

You were correct, thank you a ton ❤️

[spare citrus]

Got an fps spike while fighting lagon when I was hit with the waterspray. Caused me to die. Has that happened to anyone else? I would have easily survived if not for the fps spike.

[brave ibex]

I do get weird lag spikes quite often nowadays, not necessarily while fighting Lagon though. Screen totally freezes for a second or two

[grand jackal]

Any tips for FPS improvements? Getting like 30-40 fps in some scenarios, I'm still early game too so I feel like endgame wont be managable for me.

GTX 1060 & i5-7600k

[short roost]

Very Low settings 😄

[spare citrus]

I had low settings. Changed to very low now 😔. Annoying to have died this way on HC

[acoustic thicket]

do they synergize ?

this would count as "effect related to bleed" right?

[brittle atlas]

I think the bleed to ignite conversion only impacts the chance to bleed per second for hail of arrows, which by default I don’t believe can benefit from Disembowel.

[hollow socket]

Hail of arrows has "chance to cause bleed each second". Stats that are phrased like this cannot be scaled.

So any bleed chance on hit that you have won't apply, neither should disembowel.

[copper fable]

So this just got brought up in ask the devs, but if monos dont give mosnters resistance, do they get armor? What causes monsters to take less damage then the dummy for example, when they dont get resistance? is it just a blanket reduction granted by level?

[brittle atlas]

I believe it is indeed just a blanket reduction

Devs have said specifically in the past that many enemies have no armor or resistances

[copper fable]

Interesting. Ive just always wondered cause you can see the difference even in just the earlier monos vs the later ones. Cool to know I guess.

[grand jackal]

How does the mage fair in Last Epoch? I went arc wizard in POE and I'm looking for something that can do large fancy explosions. I do have a Acolyte that I played for an hour or so but I might re-roll as I'm going Lich in a different game I'm playing already.

[knotty hinge]

Lightning Blast is similar to Arc and you unlock the skill at level 2 or 3. Mage is very good.

[brittle atlas]

Mage is really good, but can be a bit punishing regarding its defenses until you get certain uniques

[keen plume]

Any advice on when the arena become worthwhile ? Just did 12 waves at level 79 and the exp was good, but loot was meh.

[brittle atlas]

Basically never

[keen plume]

@brittle atlas lol thanks

[brittle atlas]

after the monolith system changes in 082 the arena is really only for leaderboards

the exp is somewhat competitive at times, but the loot isn't even close

the exp gap used to be a lot larger in arena's favor

[rough wharf]

Hi There

can anyone maybe help me? bought the game though steam, but can't seem to log in. is there a place to link steam to my account??

[random dock]

it should prompt you make an account once you open up the game

[rough wharf]

seems like it only prompted to create an account after I restarted steam for some reason, but thanks

[random dock]

oh yeah steam does that wonky stuff sometimes

[shadow void]

Do the blessings that increase drop rate for types of items work for the monolith specific drops?

I am guessing not and it is only item rarity (as of 0.8.3)

[topaz valve]

is uhhh this supposed to happen?

if I pick it up and drop it again it fixes itself

[smoky glade]

click X twice

[keen plume]

Whats the benefit of having more that 100% chance to shred armour ?

Picked up a polearm with +459 chance to shred

[urban horizon]

You can shred multiple stacks per hit so having 200% instead of 100% for example shreds armor twice as fast

[random dock]

459% = 4 stacks with a 59% chance to apply an additional stack

[keen plume]

Oh, nice ty

Does armor shred only effect damage I do the mob, or does it reduce the mobs armor, IE. does my manifest armor get the benefit of me shredding the mob.

[green tendon]

Armor shred is an ailment, meaning it's a debuff applied to the monster. It should affect anything that hits it, including your minions and future party members.

[keen plume]

great, ty you all for the info, very helpful

[warped blaze]

Are there any builds that scale multiple damage types

[silk socket]

for the paladin warpath passive, earthscrocher, how does it work? does stuff like bleed effectivness, and physical damage over time now effect ignite?

[green tendon]

If you provide a screenshot of the node it helps those of us who don't know off the cuff

[balmy current]

No

[silk socket]

what does the second part of the passive mean?

the part that says bleed depends on ignite

[north timber]

Hello. Does Umbral Resolution inside the Dark Quivers tree also grant multiplicative damage to the ailment portion (poison in this case) of Hail of Arrows?

[green tendon]

Anything in the tree for warpath that depend on bleed now depend on ignite.

[silk socket]

just in the tree right?

[green tendon]

Yes.

Bleed chance will be affected from everywhere including gear and such. Things like "Do X more damage while target is bleeding" or something would only be affected if it's in the same tree as Earthscorcher.

[fresh flume]

can set items be gambled?

[green tendon]

No.

[supple marsh]

How can I check flat damage in game, for example physical base damage?

[fierce kraken]

you can't do it easily, you would need to add up all sourrces yourself

your weapon and your tree will have 90%+ of your base dmg tho

do mean skill base dmg or your added dmg?

[supple marsh]

my added

[fierce kraken]

yea, its not in game

if you import your build here https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/, it will tally it for you

[supple marsh]

Thank you, I will try to import!

[fierce kraken]

am i doing my cdr math right?

[snow spruce]

Units matter... but if the 2.5 is 250% increased cooldown recovery speed, then yes I believe so

[fierce kraken]

yea it is. I was pretty confident, just wasn't lining up in game so ill add a bug report.

[snow spruce]

Which skill?

[fierce kraken]

Volatile reversal

im taking 250 in the skill tree and the 35 in the passive, but the passive tree cdr isn't working

[snow spruce]

Ah, is this based on the tooltip CDR? I believe it rounds up for the tooltip

[fierce kraken]

it shows 5.1 not 4.7

[balmy current]

Assuming 18 is the base cooldown, yes

[balmy current]

Have you tried doing the 35% as multiplicative with the 250?

[fierce kraken]

that is not the ticket, that would be 3.8s

[short roost]

What's the Arena key of memory?

[fierce kraken]

just tested the base skill and its not affected by the cdr, 18s should have been 13.3s.

[short roost]

Nevermind, I got one and read the description 😄

[near moon]

Anyone able to tell me exactly what "discover the remaining branches of the timeline" means? I've just been doing random echos and completed the 3 quests but still haven't done whatever the above means

[brittle atlas]

Some timelines give you a choice via dialogue during their quest echoes

That quest wants you to have picked both dialogue options by running the quest echoes twice

During Fall of the Outcasts you can choose to unlock Stolen Lance or Black Sun. During Ending the Storm you can choose to unlock Reign of Dragons or Fall of the Empire

[pulsar frigate]

does void spiral or echo knight make warpath have a void tag?
counting it as a void skill for scaling and proc'ing purposes?

[trim heath]

yes

[brave sedge]

I have a level 92 rogue from before the majasa update - other than story is there any reason for me to go back and do the quests?

[pulsar frigate]

hmm i placed points in them and it still says physical on the tags no void at all

[near moon]

Thank you very much! @brittle atlas

[warped blaze]

because enchant weapon says melee attacks will ailments applied by melee attacks get the more multiplier ?

[frosty mirage]

I don’t think it does but does poison shred have a max stack amount?

[snow spruce]

I think it might? At 20?

Yes, Resistance Shred has a max stack of 20

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/community-game-guide/26057/9

[pseudo dust]

Does poison's inherent resistance shred have a limit?

I thought it didn't

[snow spruce]

That's a good question... Poison (the Ailment DoT) and Poison Shred (the Ailment) are distinctly different I guess

[brittle atlas]

it does not

regular resistance shred ailments are capped at 20 stacks

like phys shred, void shred, lightning shred, etc.

[hollow socket]

After tracking it, my VK echo ONLY appears after I cleared the full pack. And is almost guaranteed to appear then.

Is that really bad luck or did someone else experience this, too?

[brave ibex]

If you have a skill that pops all bleed stacks at once, does that still count for physical damage leech?

[hollow socket]

If you mean puncture in particular, no.

They are still only bleeds, but their duration and rate are changed.

[brave ibex]

Sorry I meant physical damage over time leech - like Valdyrs Chalice. So it would count?

[hollow socket]

If it can leech normal bleeds then it still can, yes.

[brave ibex]

OK awesome, thank you!

[odd bolt]

anyone could show me a build of necro?

im new

[narrow wharf]

how bad is idea of self-cast shaman instead of totems

[hollow socket]

Shaman only really supports autobomber, totems or lightning melee. Can't really use it on other builds.

Self-casting druid works really well in my opinion.

[odd bolt]

anyone could tell me how can i put the filter?

[near moon]

Ctl+f will open the filter, if you need help understanding how it works I would check out a YT video explainer

[narrow wharf]

hmm doesn't look like druid really has any support for cold spells

[final grotto]

I just started playing the game and was curious if there's a tooltip explanation on "ward", I know I can just google it, but I heard most of the skill tooltips are provided, so I was curious if I miss the explanation somewhere in the game

[green tendon]

Hover over your health globe.

[hollow socket]

What spells are you looking to use, specifically?

And are you sure you need any freeze rate?

[narrow wharf]

freeze rate no ; but basically was looking at halvar set + icethorns/ava

[iron thistle]

Primalist is in a weird spot where most of their spells have the physical tag but many of their buffs are for elemental damage.

[gusty swift]

Looking for build recomendation with good single target and sustain for empowered bosses (played rogue last time so any other class but this), that also doesn't depend on ultra rare uniques.

[turbid flame]

Can anyone tell me if the Thorn Shield recast talent will actually make it stack?

Or if the last longer will make it stack up also, cause currently the buff tooltip just refreshes, it doesn't show a stack number unlike Maelstrom for e.g.

[mystic sleet]

Hello, does anyone know if the Ravenous Void Unique gloves are a random drop or boss drop?

[fierce kraken]

both, they can drop randomly VERY rarely. More commonly drop from gaspar with high corruption 400+

[glad belfry]

hey guys i need help

my quest are enter the last archive

but i enter and out or reset my game its still say enter the last archive

[green tendon]

Keep walking, it updates after a few steps

[glad belfry]

@green tendon i walk the whole map

its still say enter the last archive

[green tendon]

No idea in that case

!bug

[ripe brook]

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

[smoky glade]

you can continue

in the last archive

the quest just doesn't update

[glad belfry]

i delete my char and try again still the same bug

[smoky glade]

just go to the next zone fro mthere

and it will update

[glad belfry]

@smoky glade try all the zone in there

still the same

[smoky glade]

go to the right

and up the stairs

in the last archive

[smoky glade]

keep going

[glad belfry]

well i go to pannion study

or erza libery

still bug

i think i gonna refund the game haha

thx for the help through @smoky glade

[smoky glade]

yeah u need to kill pannion's students there

iirc

then keep going

[dense remnant]

@glad belfry You need to actually explore the last archives, the game isn't going to just give you ever instruction you need

You're in a map, thats your quest step, what you do next is just, well honestly very simple logic

you look for stuff lol

Literally the main end game of the game is literally just 'go into map, find thing to kill, if it takes you too long killing mobs will make a marker appear for you'

but at its base its an endgame designed around not just being told every single thing you have to do

Which is rewarding, because who likes being told every single thing they're meant to do

[hollow socket]

You would need werebear for that build anyways to get enough crit, AFAIK.

And make up for the stats that halvar lacks.

[near moon]

Is there a hard cap on reduction of enemy resistances? I have 20% shock effectiveness and at 20 stacks it reduces their resist by 120%. I also have 29% lightning penetration. If these stack how I think, I have effective enemy resistance reduction of 149%?

[smoky glade]

1 - min(Resistance - Resistance shred, 75) + Resistance Penetration this is the formula from wiki

so yeah penetration is like reduced res effectively

[near moon]

Is there a limit?

[smoky glade]

the amount of Penetration is substracted from corresponding Resistance which can go below 0

no limit mentioned but idk

https://lastepoch.fandom.com/wiki/Penetration

[near moon]

Thank you

[balmy current]

Not enemy resists, no. It depends on how many stacks of shred you can keep on them & how much penetration you have. The penetration @smoky glade mentioned looks more like the area level penetration against the player.

And resist shred & resist pen are combined in any event

[foggy badger]

Anyone know if the bone armor node in the summon skeleton tree would apply to Rogue summons if you cant summon warriors anymore?

[violet mortar]

i have to questions please

1. is the acolyte's sacrifice the closest thing to detonate dead in last epoch? does it work on volatile zombie for double explosions?
2. has multiplayer been implemented or not yet?

[balmy current]

Yes, yes (I think) & no

[tawdry violet]

What cases would one want All Attributes stats?

[narrow wharf]

Is lethal mirrage a spell or an attack since i don't see either of tags on it

[brittle atlas]

it has the melee tag

[narrow wharf]

does it mean it's melee attack basically? (for purposes of modis that affect it)

[brittle atlas]

yes

I'm pretty sure all melee skills just have the melee tag

rather than an attack specific tag

I think only bow and throwing include the word attack

[crimson gorge]

Are there subtitles in the game? I'm not able to find the option for em

[narrow wharf]

thanks ; by the way is there anything in LE that has both spell and attack tags?

[brittle atlas]

uh

maybe

some attacks that trigger spells maybe
