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?

#

hey guys - i put pionts into void cleave and unlocked the node that casts abyssal echoes, does that actually do anything if i don't have the 10 points into VK to unlock the actual abyssal echoes spell?

If a unique item doesn't say a drop source on lastepochtools, such as from a boss or such, does it just drop absolutely anywhere? If it requires level 70, it can only drop in area lvl +70, but otherwise from anywhere?

I have another question: How do I go about leveling up certain timelines in the monolith? I've been trying to get one up another 6 levels, but sometimes when I kill orobyss it increases, sometimes not. Am I missing something?

#

Does dagger dance from Shadow cascade still scale with weapon damage?

polar ingot
#

am i interporeting this right that a fixed 40 dmg? or isit just not showing that this is acalable?

unknown.png
#

if its not scalabe its really weak right?

hollow socket
#

Might also be because it doesn't stack and smite is a skill you cast rather quickly.

hello travelers, what is the best build to build around the following uniques? a) Ravenous Void Gloves b) Salt the Wound Gloves Appreciate your help!

warped blaze
#

do avalanche boulders on melee hit work with the avalanche tree?

tight wolf
#

does fire aura scale with flat / adaptive dmg?

#

it shud right?

do you need a shield to block?

stone granite

#

okay, so if i take an item that gives me block chance, it does work?

stone granite
dusky robin
#

oh nice, thank you for the info

#

running a 2h sentinel, that will probably go VK

#

so thats why i am asking

stone granite
#

Then you want to check out that sword, I think it's called dreamthorne. It's a void damage sword.

dusky robin
#

ooo

#

i will check it out

#

anyone here familiar with unique Lethal concentration?

gusty swift
#

does regular critical strike chance also affect spells?

short roost
#

Yes.

@balmy geode the further you are away from the start of a mono, the higher the rewards get. Some of the close orb nodes will reduce corruption if they are close to the start. The further out you go the more corruption will be added. I'm assuming by "level up" you meant add corruption?

vernal raven
#

Uh

last current
#

Maybe I misunderstood, but I thought the Solo Character challenge didn't share resources with my other characters, even those with the Solo challenge enabled?

#

Actually looks like it's loading data from previous iterations of the character (playing hardcore solo, died last night and created a new character with the same name)

#

In that case is there any way to reset the stash / gold for a specific toon name?

brittle atlas
#

You’d have to manually delete stash/character data I think

#

Otherwise you’ll need to use different names

waxen sundial
#

i got a question

pearl epoch
waxen sundial
#

nevermind lol devs got to me first

brittle atlas
#

I believe a few patches ago things were changed to only check once even with twin beam

frosty mirage
#

Do sub skills, like lightning bolt, benefit from adaptive spell damage?

brittle atlas
#

If they are spells and have added damage scaling, yes.

#

I believe in most cases, those types of sub skills do

wraith tundra
#

Is the FG passive "molded by the forge working" doesnt seem to display on my csheet when I equip a two handed axe

#

Also, bleed chance in the csheet when I equip a bardiche doesnt go up additively, so a 80% bleed chance + a 120% bleed chance implict on bardiche doesnt make my bleed chance 200% and FG molded by the force passive doesn't add another 200%. Whereas a sword with +80% chance to bleed will make my bleed chance in csheet go up additively to 160%

brittle atlas
#

the sheet currently only shows global ailment chances

wraith tundra
#

but it works as you might think it should with warpath, given that warpath has a melee tag?

#

I got it, the +70% was coming from double effect of smelters might not the implicit... not testing if all this works with earthscorcher

finite patio
#

Hi! can you tell me where i can find a lootfilter for my Crow Beastmaster build?

snow spruce
waxen sundial
#

is there a way to compare items to my offhand?

brittle atlas
#

I do not believe so

#

maybe alt or shift?

#

but I'm pretty sure offhand and second ring slots can't be compared currently?

tight wolf
#

Whats the best class for melee fire builds? Spellblade or any Sentinel?

#

Crit would be optimal

tawdry violet
#

When a Skill has multiple sources of debuff application (Chance to Bleed for example) do they add each together? or are they separate probabilities?
If I have 50% from skill tree, 30% from items, 20% from passives, is it 100% bleed chance or is it three separate chances to inflict a bleed?

swift cairn
#

they add together

tawdry violet
#

Thanks!

#

Is blind useful if one goes for crit avoidance

#

If I proc Fire Aura with Surge by using the node in the Surge tree it shud buf fthe Fire Aura DMG as well, right?

#

Does the channelled Flurry have a higher attack rate than regular Flurry?

copper fable
#

Seems to be that way, I didnt like that channeling skills only activate the shroud on hit chance when they start so I tried to swap to non channeled, figured "I have 150% melee attack speed it should be fine" nope it was terrible as heck. The channeled version attacks at mach speed in comparison.

midnight lagoon
#

hey guys, what would be the best build to start out with to farm some end game for some build enabling uniques

lament shard
#

How accurate/useful is the dps tooltip in the game? I assume it doesn't include DoT and debuffs, but other than that is it reliable?

knotty hinge
dense remnant
#

it does include dots

#

but its not super accurate for them

#

(if your on a very low level character, and equip an item that adds a dot on hit chance, it increases the dps tooltip substantially)

lament shard
#

Alright, thank you

final grotto
#

If anyone can answer my questions in #new-members, it would be appreciated. ty 🙏

dense remnant
#

1st thing: That's not an offset, it's the player level you want that rule to show up during

#

2nd thing: No.

#

3rd thing: If you're problem is running out of pots, you probably need to get your res's capped

final grotto
final grotto
dense remnant
#

also you want leech from something

#

(manual name to explain it easier)

#

so putting the level dependancy as 0-20, means its only going to make this rule active while my character is between lvl 0 and 20

final grotto
#

I'm talking about the one like in category "level", and there are options like "below level" , "above level", "max level below character level"

#

let me take a screen shot real quick

dense remnant
#

oh ive never used that, but yeah if you put screenshot and what you think it should be doing, i can explain

#

i would advise just dont use this rule, its bad

#

the best amulet for my character this weekend tournament, is ilvl 4

final grotto
dense remnant
#

so that will show all items of the ilvl that is 0 below your characters level

#

and under

#

because its for the max ilvl of them

#

i think, its either that, or its only things 0 below

#

either way its bad

#

xD

final grotto
#

yeah I was getting confused lol

dense remnant
#

the only thing it has any use for is weapon, but then you just choose which subtypes you want to hide

final grotto
#

or emphasize

dense remnant
#

the loot isn't set up in a way that this rule has much use at all

final grotto
#

yeah, I still don't understand the level drop rn

dense remnant
#

and any use you would have from it, is better achieved through the other rules

#

I mean, this rule is about showing/hiding/emphasisng stuff based on ilvl

#

ilvl is meaningless

#

so the rule is bad

final grotto
#

oh, I thought higher ilvl means better stats

dense remnant
#

not neccacarily

#

and thats better achieved through the tier of affixes

#

which you can create rules for

#

id very strongly advise ignoring this rule, and using the other rules to achieve what you want

#

because that's much better stuff to learn how to use, as it's going to be extremely more useful

final grotto
#

ok. tldr, ignore the levels, but look at the tiers of affixes and filter based on that

#

thanks you man!

#

Do you also happened to know why the frame rate is limited to 30fps when using stashes?

dense remnant
#

ive never noticed that

#

so you use a rule like that, then just change the tier based on your current gear

#

cus comparative to chracter level isnt taking into account what gear you have, and realistically a filter isnt ever going to do that. But doing it through tiers lets you use rules to just quickly adjust based on what you currently have

final grotto
#

I see. Thank you. I will play around that tier filter a little bit more, sounds really useful for me to upgrade my gear, I do have problems picking up the gears and filtering out the items I need because it's SSF rn

final grotto
# dense remnant ive never noticed that

yeah I noticed that since I used the stash, it's super laggy for me to drag or do anything, I don't know if it's intended or not, it even happened where there's nothing in the stash in the beginning

final grotto
#

uh anyone knows how to drag the shard back into your inventory?

hollow socket
#

You do not have to, I think.

#

I've arguably never checked if one is missing, but I've never put them back.

#

But you can click the button in the bottom right of the shard and click "clear".

final grotto
#

oh... that's cool, so the shards stay there forever and is usable on other items as well.

#

I still didn't find the button, but I guess I don't have to take them out like you said

gusty swift
#

is there a way to see crit chance of individual spell?

fierce kraken
thorny ravine
#

How is the end game of the game? 😄

pearl epoch
thorny ravine
#

better than POE ?

pearl epoch
#

That's subjective. Everyone will have a different answer to that

#

But short answer: no
Path of Exile has been a game for over 11 years. Last Epoch is still in beta

#

Comparing the two is a moot point really. That being said, LE has a very well done system for only being in beta

stone gust
#

^

thorny ravine
#

How is the Power Creep tho ?

#

Not as fast as POE ?

#

I despise POE ridiculous speed

#

the game looks like a f***** shooting simulator

hollow socket
#

The devs try very hard to keep you slow.

#

Little access to movement speed (for minions, too) and movement abilities have cooldowns.

#

Your damage will also fall off as you stack corruption because mobs gain more health.

narrow wharf
#

99% of builds will be feel quite a bit slower ; bowmage is probably one of only few that feels almost poelike

violet mortar
#

how does acolyte's sacrifice ability scale?

#

does it scale with the minion you're sacrificing in any way?

#

also is building a character focused on bossing a viable endgame goal?

pearl epoch
#

Yes it is a viable strategy, however you have to complete monoliths to get to all of the bosses, so you will still need a decent level of clear

hollow socket
#

But the chain node, the best and only general damage node, is currently bugged so I'd hold back on sacrifice until that is fixed or changed.

near moon
#

Since the life cost reduction of flayers pride is bugged for proc effects like javalin casting smite, is there any % health cost reduction items that will work? I know there are other means to work around the cost but would prefer to just lower it outright without spending skill points

naive forge
#

Hello! I just reached the end game and unlocked my first blessing, and I was wondering, what is the end game loop? I see that I am dropping a lot of yellow items, but the levels vary a lot. Is there a rarity above yellow that I need to focus on or should I check every yellow and improve the best ones with craft?

copper fable
#

Exalted items are purple. They are drop only meaning you cant get them by crafting, they are essentially t6 and t7, so the loop is to farm the monolith trying to get the blessings you want with good values as well as finding exalteds to craft on.

#

in addition to farming uniques, idols, etc. Many of the items have wide ranges of values, and they cant be rerolled for uniques and idols, so farming multiple of the same item can sometimes be a thing you do too.

gilded silo
#

Do I need to deal cold damage in order to chill? Namely, if I have a skill dealing only lightning damage, and 100% chance to chill on hit, will I afflict chill with that skill or not?

narrow wharf
#

unlike poe damage type doesn't matter

#

for inflicting ailments in general

#

so as long you have chance to X from skill trees/items you can inflict them
also damage types as such i believe do not have any inherent chance to inflict ailments

gilded silo
#

Thanks a bunch

#

Freeze being the notable exception, right?

solar bronze
#

how good is doom from siphon of anguish, i have about 1000% inc dmg over time

brittle atlas
#

it's pretty good

#

especially if all you're giving up is a ring slot

solar bronze
#

ya my ring wasnt doing anything anyway

final grotto
#

if I'm using flame reave for my main skill, is melee damage better or fire damage better for scaling? or does it depend on how much I have on the other multipliers?

brittle atlas
#

increased melee and increased fire have exactly the same value for you per point

#

so it's just a matter of how high those affixes can roll

final grotto
#

Thank you! That's what I want to know. Thought there might be a diminishing return when one stat is too stacked and have to stack on the other damage.

brittle atlas
#

not for increased damage, as they're all added together anyways

#

they're not separate multipliers

#

but you'd definitely want to make sure you have good sources of flat added damage

#

or stuff like crit, crit multi, resistance shred, armor shred, etc

final grotto
#

oh I see, but uhmm I have seen like "additional fire damage with melee attack" and "grant melee fire damage"

#

are those two scale the same..? I feel like "grant melee fire damage" feels better on my flame reave

brittle atlas
#

yeah, added melee fire damage is flat damage and is good

#

anything that says "increased" is additive with other increases

final grotto
#

"increased"?

brittle atlas
#

yeah like....

final grotto
#

ooo

brittle atlas
#

this chest says "increased damage while wielding a sword"

#

this goes into my pool of increased damage modifiers

#

all of those increased damage modifiers get added together if they're relevant to the skill

#

so like if my attack is a melee attack that does physical damage

#

then my increased physical, increased melee, and generic increased- like what is on that chest- get added together into a single multiplier

#

which based on my character sheet (which isn't always particularly accurate) is 407%

#

or x5.07

final grotto
#

ooooo I see

#

so that's why there are damage explicitly telling you they are multiplicative on skill tree or on mastery tree.

#

they would scale better usually compared to the usual "increased" damage

#

How about this? compared to flat damage?

brittle atlas
#

flat damage is multiplied by your "increased" and "more" modifiers

#

here's the in-game guide explanation

mWJGyMe.png
final grotto
#

and the damage from my screen shot

#

is that also flat damage?

brittle atlas
#

Yep

#

"additional" and a + sign with no % is a good way to generally tell flat stats apart

#

though something like flat crit will still have a %, but will lack the word increased

final grotto
#

OK. that makes sense

#

I think xD

#

thanks you a lot!! those things confused me a lot in PoE as well

#

ok I just tried it out the damage from the screen shot I took

#

putting points in that category doesn't give my Flame Reave any dps increase

#

so what am I missing this time

#

these two should do the same thing for my melee attack (Flame Reave), and having "Through Flames" does give me extra damage, but having "infused weapon" doesn't give me extra damage

brittle atlas
#

no idea, both of those should apply to flame reave

final grotto
#

ahh ok

brittle atlas
#

I'm not sure if I'd trust the tooltip too much though

#

there's a lot of things it can't/doesn't account for at the moment, unfortunately

final grotto
#

I see. I actually should just try it on the dummy

#

so I can know if it's an actual bug or just a tooltip thing

knotty hinge
#

I'm fairly certain it's just a tooltip bug with Infused Weapon.

final grotto
#

Oh nice! I tried it out on the dummy, but I couldn't tell lol

knotty hinge
#

Take off your weapons and it should be much more noticeable.

brittle atlas
#

did you manage to get ravenous void yet tny?

knotty hinge
#

No and it's causing burnout.

brittle atlas
#

oof

#

I heard amun was at like 130 kills earlier today

knotty hinge
#

I think this is my fourth pass on this web

#

But it's nice to know I'm not alone. Sorry Amun.

brittle atlas
#

Perry said something earlier that kind of worried me tbh

#

what if my ravenous void drop off gaspar was just an extremely lucky world drop

#

and he's still bugged

knotty hinge
#

I don't deserve that.

brittle atlas
#

if there are multiple people closing in on 150 kills with no drop I'd be really sus

knotty hinge
#

It's like that one time you linked me a 600 (or whatever it was) corruption Shade kill without gear on.

#

Nope, just bad luck. Not bugged.

#

Get out of my head Arborus.

brittle atlas
#

idk, until there's another confirmed drop from him I'm gonna be kinda worried about it

#

cause otherwise I baited people into farming bugged shit and gave them hope when I just got some fluke lucky drop

sick spindle
#

Is there a way to see how much flat damage my spells have? Like before my wand is added?

brittle atlas
#

as for seeing how much added damage you have, there's no good way currently besides looking over your character and adding it up

wintry carbon
#

Q in regards to the loot filter, is there a way to specify that an item must have a particular affix plus any combination of these other X selected affixes

#

ie, boots must have runspeed plus a combo of selected defensive affix's

amber notch
#

I was trying to figure out that yesterday as well but couldn't find it

wintry carbon
#

i kinda have an idea of how to get it working

#

with multiple rules

#

like first hide everything that does not have runspeed

#

and then .. umm hide everything with affix's you dont want? right

#

so then you'll be left with only boots with runspeed + 3 affix's you do want, hmm

#

which wont actually work

warped blaze
#

all added base damage gets converted on skill conversions right? you just cant scale the original base damage

#

my "echo of a world" are all coming up with "-7, -4" .. is that normal? just open it until you find one that gives me "4, 6, 7"? or when it goes negative I have to reset it?

dense remnant
#

the negative is there so you can lower corruption if you brick your monolith

#

if you dont want to reduce corruption, simply dont do it

static glacier
#

so you need 20 hits in the duration to make it "worth it"?

warm dust
#

Do sub skills in trees "chain" their bonuses? For example, I know that if I proc flame reave with surge, flame reave gets surge's bonuses. If I proc fire aura from flame reave, does fire aura also get surge's bonuses?

#

also, would fire aura get any bonus from shocking blows, which gives "melee lightning damage"?

amber notch
#

I think it counts as if you cast the skill yourself separately

#

(otherwise we'd a lot of long chaining skill builds)

#

is there a default loot filter recommendation like neversink's in PoE?

there is a mod that says increased lighning dmg

brittle atlas

there are no local mods in LE, so "increased lightning damage" is global increased lightning damage

Hi ho! I play HC, minion build. How important is res overcap, and how much is needed? Any resistanses more important than others? I am 100+ on crit avoid.

#

If I have a fire, cold and lightning as a skilltag are the Dragon Mage and Dragon Breath passive nodes triggered every cast?

iron thistle
#

Not 100% sure on the shred value, just going off memory comparing it to player shred.

#

Although belt affix to remove debuffs on potion use should get rid of both of those, so you may not need to worry at all.

brittle atlas
#

Mark for Death is the most common form of resistance shred and is -25, which is 25% increased damage taken

#

25% increased damage taken is however one of the weakest damage increases you'll find on a monolith modifier

#

and it doesn't scale with corruption

#

so it's basically a non-concern

#

resistance shred tops out at -40 for players, but it's very rare you'll get that many stacks on you, and again, resistance overall is less impactful than basically any monolith mod in terms of how it impacts the damage you take

You folks know of any viable werebear builds? Last I played one was when they nerfed the mana gain on thorn totems for sustain.

all others are just yellow

knotty hinge
#

I tried not to disrupt too much. Removed all the fire aura/ignite chance nodes

final grotto
#

is armor good even tho I'm not building armor at all?

#

the reason I went with fire aura is just that I feel like I should go for it? because I have extra points for damage per fire aura

knotty hinge
#

Allocated instead into survivability. Notably, max out the attack speed on Enchant Weapon. I like invulnerability and distance on surge but it's up to you. Are you talking about Firebrand?

final grotto
#

fireband and arcane shield

knotty hinge
#

How many stacks do you typically maintain?

#

of fire aura

final grotto
#

if I cast my surge with stacks, I have like 15

#

if i dont cast my surge to get the stacks, probably 3-5

#

I originally didn't have mana problem with mana strike, so I took the "fire aura" on flame reave, and I just go with the fire aura ever since

knotty hinge
#

You can stick with it

#

Get shattered Aegis though

final grotto
#

i have like 227 armor tho

knotty hinge
#

and I know the haste is nice on Flame Ward but Barrier and Prismatic Buffer are the reasons you take it.

#

I left the haste because it's hard to let go

#

I know

final grotto
#

oh yeah Flame Ward, I feel like the skill is supposed to be like a skill in PoE where it's a survival skill

knotty hinge
#

It is

final grotto
#

oh.. but I saw the damage increase buff

#

I'm like. oh yeah free damage LOL

#

but also I haven't really had survival issue either, besides major boss fight

knotty hinge
#

None of this really helps with mana by the way, sorry.

final grotto
#

oh it's ok lol. I dont think my mana problem can be fixed

#

at least in the way I wanted to play the character

knotty hinge
#

Melee scaling, ignite chance, damage over time (fire aura), attack speed (for mana generation) - you have to give something up.

#

But that's where the fun is, at least in my opinion. Making the decisions.

final grotto
#

yeah it was a long way, my original build was so messy xD

#

I went with fire aura + damage over time + ignite with flame reave, and a bunch of ignite chance in passive tree as well

#

and enchant weapon with the Conflagrate

#

and honestly, I didn't know what was the killing the monsters

#

but yeah. after that I just get organized and tried to get more melee fire damage

#

and not going crit

#

and ignite either

knotty hinge
#

I gotcha

midnight lagoon
#

can someone help me and explain how target farming uniques works in monoliths? So I want unique boots , that don't drop from a specific boss, so I farm Spirits of Fire monolith, but which nodes am I looking for?

amber notch
#

There's Unique or set armor nodes iirc

#

And you should get the increased unique + increased boot blessings

midnight lagoon
#

so the dual node is what drops the item specific to monliths?

ionic oxide
urban horizon
#

Shred can get you or enemies to negative resistance

ionic oxide
#

i see, so there's no order to them?

#

since it wont matter in the context of reducing their res

balmy current
#

In the end they're both modifying the same stat (target's resistance) in the damage calculation

final grotto
#

For "Shattered Aegis" in Spellblad passive tree, the "Arcane shield" effect is better at 3-4 stacks than the effect without "Shatter Aegis" right?

balmy current
#

Yup

#

You'll be at max stacks during combat

final grotto

yeah. that sounds good

What's the best phsyical spell?

frosty mirage
#

If we’re talking about entire base damage being physical, and assuming by best you mean highest DPS I’d probably say physical converted Avalanche

#

Earthquake adds lightning to hit when converting to spell damage

snow spruce
#

If you or your minion have a chance to apply an ailment on hit, then that chance is applied to each individual hit that is capable of applying the ailment.

#

If your crows have a chance to apply frostbite then it is rolled for every hit, if you take the Frigid Wings node in the Summon Storm Crows tree, then their shock chance is converted to frostbite chance. Your crows and wolves will share the same stats that are labeled/prefixed with "minion" on your gear, their skill trees do not affect each other however (except in some fringe cases).

#

I'm unsure about that. If it does, it would likely be stated that the two nodes are incompatible.

dense remnant

if you go to the dummy in the end of time, theres a ring around it

#

thats 4m from the dummy

raven rover
#

so the Vilatrias Downfall converts the Meteor into a Lightning meteor
my question now is
if i take the Armageddon node from the Black hole skill, would the Meteors that spawn from the Black hole also be converted into Lightning Meteors?

merry cairn
marsh maple
#

@raven rover if you read the alt text for the meteor node, it will tell you its not affected by meteor's tree, so they wont turn to lightning meteors

Is it better to scale increased damage from different sources? e.g: 30% increased minion damage + 30% increased minion DoT DMG + 30% increased minion poison dmg. Is that better than 90% from 1 of these?

If you have 100% chance to ignite, it applies one stack, if you have 110% chance to ignite you apply 1 stack with a 10% chance to apply a second stack

nope

when it uses a skill of yours, as opposed to a sub skill, it uses it how it is for you. The skill bar is irrelevant to that

Is Holy Aura bugged? If activate it, after active period ends I have no aura benefits for 2s - neither passive or active benefits

hollow socket
#

All items have 4 slots here (except uniques/sets), rarity just tells you how many are currently in use.

acoustic thicket
#

I think the first few I picked up were part of a set. They were normal and magic but only had 2 and 3 slots respectively. I just bought a weapon to just see and you are right. Just unlucky with the items I picked up lol

#

Are catalysts different? I picked up a magic Brass Aegis and it only has 3 affix slots

brittle atlas
#

all non-unique/set items can have 4 affixes

#

two prefix and two suffix

acoustic thicket
#

Is the Brass Aegis a part of a set then? It does not say it does

brittle atlas
#

no

acoustic thicket
#

Sorry it is confusing

brittle atlas
#

you can't craft on unique or set items at all

#

unique items have an orange name, set items have a green name

acoustic thicket
#

So if it does not have anything it only shows 1 prefix and suffix slot

brittle atlas
#

no?

#

if you put it into the crafting window it shows all four iirc

acoustic thicket
#

That is what it shows for a common brass aegis

brittle atlas
#

ah perhaps it doesn't show all four to start with

acoustic thicket
#

Yeah. It is just confusing ui.

but yeah, you can add up to two prefix and two suffix to any craftable item

Hiya! So, I'm a relatively new hardcore player wondering how things stack, I'm playing fireball and have arcane flames and I'm wondering how different effects interact with "Flammability" in the fireball tree. It makes sense that Fireball actually hitting adds 1 stack of Flammability, but...

  1. Does Spreading Flames apply any amount of stacks of Flammability?
  2. Does a flame burst explosion apply any amount of stacks of Flammability?
  3. Do effects retroactively increase in damage as you apply more and more stacks of Flammability? (do ignites/dots do more damage as you add more stacks of Flammability)

I found out about this game recently and have heard good things. I'm not an expert on arpg's, but have enjoyed playing D3 and Grim Dawn in the past. I never got into POE due to that intimidating skill tree. Is this pretty friendly to more casual players or do I need to min-max and aim for specific builds to get the most out of it?

knotty hinge
#

I think it resides in a unique space between D3 and POE. More depth than D3 without the daunting complexity of POE. I would say it's casual friendly. You can complete the campaign without a build guide and I encourage you to do so.

You can honestly do non-empowered monolith on pretty much anything you roll up yourself as well as long as you make sure your resists are in a good spot and you have decent health.

#

Empowered monolith and corruption farming might require some tweaks to your build, but everything can be changed except your mastery choice, so you can pivot builds very easily.

Hi there, what's the best movement+aoe build so far ?

gusty swift
#

How attributes scale corresponding skill damage? like what 1 attr = +10% or smth? - oh, nvm it's skill based and listed under skills on wiki...

cedar storm
#

Enemy Penetration applies after your resistances are capped to 75%.

#

What does this mean? That having over 75 does nothing to the enemies pen cap?

balmy current
#

The only point to having over 75% resist is to mitigate the effect of resist shred stacks (which are applied before the resist cap).

cedar storm
#

Thank you, makes sense

iron thistle
#

Also for Mark of Death, which isn't shred but does reduce your resists.

which monolith boss (empowered) has best build opening unique drops?

pearl epoch
#

I'm looking for some advice on my minion based Forge Guard. I'm utilizing Forged Weapons and Manifest Armour, but trying not to lean my gear into the MA and rather focus on scaling both Forged Weapons and MA equally.

My question: Since crit scaling on Sentinel minions is very limited, is it even worth trying to go for crit? I'm torn between abandoning crit entirely and just focusing raw damage, as the only real source of crit comes from weapon.

#

I've calculated that with Void Cleave vulnerability stacks, and both Melee Crit + Inc Crit on weapon, I can get my minion crit up to around 46.4%

static glacier
#

Manifest armor can get 100% crit and 600? % crit multi if you want

#

But making manifest armor a real killer means gearing for it and then its honestly a Monster

pearl epoch
#

I'm not a huge fan of the clearspeed that Manifest Armor offers so I want to focus more into Forged Weapons as well

#

As such I want to scale Attunement/Minion Dmg rather than gearing specifically for MA

static glacier
#

Well ma needs 3 things... a base crit weapon, crit/speed gloves and the boots .. thats basicly the important stuff in 3 slots

#

The boots are very unidimensional ofx

#

Going for noncrit makes the thing do 20% of normal damage

#

Dont know if its worth it all then

pearl epoch
#

I have Forged Weapons as my primary source of damage currently. The Manifest Armor only exists because nothing else really fits in that slot

static glacier
#

Never played forged weapons as more than a MA sidekick so im out here sorry.

pearl epoch
#

I suppose I'll just have to experiment with it. Like I said, I can get my minions to around 50% crit chance but I don't know if that's enough to be worth it

static glacier
#

With what multi?

pearl epoch
#

Exactly.... There's like none. A bit from Turquoise Rings

static glacier
#

Death rattle?

#

Its no 200% anymore but still a lot

waxen sundial
#

When it says multiplicative does that mean for example instead of adding 10% to 200% to make 210% it multiplies it so it takes 10% of 200% to make it 220% so on and so forth

pearl epoch
#

Not exactly. What are you referencing specifically?

waxen sundial
#

things that just say (multiplicative)

pearl epoch
#

It means they are multiplied by each other.
For example if you had a spell that did 10 damage, and you had 3 passives that gave 50% more damage each, it would look like:

10 * 1.5 * 1.5 * 1.5

waxen sundial
#

so would that be better than the basic % increase since its dealing with the actual flat damage?

pearl epoch
#

Yes, more multipliers are generally stronger than increases. Not always, but most times.

#

Increases also deal with flat damage as well, just to avoid confusion

static glacier
#

All inc damage gets added together and is one multiplier

pearl epoch
#

Damage is usually calculated something like:
Damage = (Flat damage sources added together) x ( 1 + Increases added together) x (All your more multipliers)

static glacier
#

× neg resits from res shred, pen and shock × negative armor % from armor shred (if it is a hit)

cedar storm
#

I am making a shock stack build (all my dmg is lightning). Is there a reason for me to have the shred lightning blessing instead of shock, or shock effect, or lightning damage?

balmy current
#

Damage = (Flat damage sources added together) x ( 1 + Increases added together) x (1+ more 1) x (1+ more 2) x (1+ more 3, etc)

chornowyrms. u can see them in the cosmetic panel

static glacier
#

Lightning damage is just another % ed... not better and not worse than and other ed that applies to your skill

hollow socket
#

Wait, is it really calculated as "more"?

#

I thought shock was 3 levels higher than more.

#

But I wouldn't be sure, it's how I knew the calculation in PoE.

static glacier
#

Shock is - enemy res

#

All enemy res is summed up and is one multiplier

balmy current
#

the resist shred from shock is added to all other sources of lightning resist shred then applied to the damage calculation

hollow socket
#

Ah, so it's approximately right. As I know it there's crit chance/multi and attack/cast speed above "more" and then comes the "damage taken" part.

balmy current
#

They aren't "above" more modifiers, they're just applied separately in the damage calc

#

so they're equivalent to more modifiers.

static glacier
#

There is no "ranking" in multipliers

hollow socket
#

I understand, so the damage calculation is essentially easier too. That's good.

static glacier
#

I mean a×b = b×a

hollow socket
#

Yes, of course.

So you just stack as many more multis you can get to kill stuff 😄

# pearl epoch I have Forged Weapons as my primary source of damage currently. The Manifest Arm...

Just got to monolith with my FG, so there's still experimentation to be done, but using an Obsidian(I think) axe with implicit minion damage and the Void Cleave node that gives a ton of flat fire damage to minions has been doing phenomenal for me so far. I still need to test the keystone node that makes the buff more effective but only works if I Void Cleave the minions, but with 12 weapons and MA, it looks like a ton of damage.

if you have picked them up you are good, penalty for dying in arena is that you dont get end rewards, if you choose to leave arena at a break wave you get a chest with some items in it.

24-ish is definitely possible

if you have like T5 regen on every slot you can maybe get up to like...28 or so?

#

Looks like T5 in all five slots is ~23

#

with average rolls

#

26 if you've got T5 max roll in every slot with sapphire rings

What is your guys experience with the ward passives and defenses on mage/sorcerer? I feel like it's too many points to invest vs what I get and I should just pump into health instead; also do you focus on armor on sorcerer?

#

Also I am playing single element rn, so ofc with multiple elements the ward gain might be very well worth it

north lodge
#

What seems better for defense in terms of pushing arena (assuming i have plenty of healing to heal the dmg I take)?
2225 max hp with 595 Endurance Threshhold
or 1537 max hp with 907 Endurance Threshold (Endurance 60% on both)

#

I think the EHP is very close between the two, and higher threshold means I should have an easier time avoiding spikes killing me, but i think for pure 100 to 0 one shots, the higher total hp seems better

#

im assuming if i am above the threshold and I take a huge hit, it basically ignores Endurance, i guess if that's not correct it might change things

static glacier
#

Endurance works even against the 'onehit"

#

The part of the damage thats in your treshold gets reduced

None of those launch their projectiles at the same time though, they're all sequential which means the subsequent projectiles from a single use can still hit the same target (with the kinda exception of Earthquake's aftershocks which will only generate 1 per target but can overlap if the chosen targets are close enough).

guys mana Arc is not effected by additonal base damage based on % of mana and base crit > % of mana nodes on the mana strike skill tree?

#

id really appreciate if someone could help me figure out the interaction of mana arc and if its intended this way. because mana arc says " additionally strike enemies it hits with mana arc" yet i attacked dummy now animation changed but theres only 1 hit it doesnt hit the mana strike + mana arc but rather 1 hit so either the arc doesnt hit the same target stroke by mana strike or it replace mana strike ?
also it says "Mana arc can benefit from other nodes on this tree" yet i took the base damage based on % from mana and it doesnt seem to effect mana arc?

trim heath
#

The training dummy isn't an enemy so it probably doesn't trigger.

broken pagoda
#

animation does happen but i can go try it on monsters thanks

#

yeah same on enemies

hollow socket
#

Mana arc is the triggered spell, right?

broken pagoda
#

sort of yes

#

but it seems to replace the original hit

hollow socket
#

Might suffer from the same problem as multistrike. There, it's certain that anything that's hit with the initial strike can't be the target of additional swords.

broken pagoda
#

possible

#

it is also not effected by nodes on the skill tree even tho it says it can xD i guess its only some of the nodes

broken pagoda
#

that means the original mana strike dont happen.. kinda as if instead of additional to the strike it replace the strike with mana arc .

Is it pretty easy to just start up the game and figure out what to do without reading up on guides? 8 years of PoE experience under my belt if that impacts the answer

random dock
#

yes the game is very newbie friendly and since you have POE exp it should be ezpz

#

or just top up resists or run dual health generic vigorious of life idols

#

depending on how much ED you allready have adding another 200% is not really much

But the game is overall pretty intuitive. Some of the tooltips could be more descriptive, but the general rules apply in 95% of cases.

Hey guys i have watched a lot of videos and the game and gameplay looks very appealing to me
The one thing that bothers me are the graphics and the character models/armor especially
Games like wolcen or poe look much better in my eyes
Do you know if the game will get a graphic overhaul of some sort or will it look similar to what it is now

There is no system in the game that allows deterministic farming of the gear bases you want with the ability to also influence what affixes or affix tiers, right?

that's a lot of dice rolling

Well farming for perfect gear is the endgame what did you expect.

You run monos fast and get dozend of purpel lottery Tickets per hour basicly

Or you run until you find a lottery ticket, then run a build for that ticket

Or find a million different potential lottery tickets and find a million different lotteries that those tickets might potentially work for.

this seems to not work always, is there an internal cooldown to it or something? edit: wait i think i figured it out, it doesn't cast when I don't have the mana for it, I assumed it would bring me down to negative mana but it makes sense that triggered skills don't do that

also i was wondering if increaseding abyssal echoes duration will increase it's overall damage

Yes, it does increase the total damage

Rip blood has a node that does a similar thing

So I had to exit the game after getting to the Apophis and Majasa quest where you're supposed to enter the temple through one of the roof entrances. This put me back in the end of time when I restarted - but I can't get back to the rooftops to continue because I don't have the waypoint. Known issue? Workaround?

200% of what?

bronze ocean

of the (base + added) health threshold value, for shatter strike base is 100

broken pagoda
#

Does ignite duration inrease tge total damage of ignite? For example ignite is 37 fire damage over 3 seconds. Will 100% increase ignite duration make it do 74 over 6 seconds? Or still 37 but over 6 seconds?

marsh maple
#

yeah @broken pagoda

broken pagoda
#

Its equal to 100% more?

marsh maple
#

oh the duration

#

so it will do 37 damage per second over 6 seconds

broken pagoda
#

I see so duration probably isnt good unless its poison or something that reduce resist

#

Abd for ignite its actually 0 damage increase

marsh maple
#

duration is good against single target

broken pagoda
#

Why if he take same about of damage?

static glacier
#

if its dead in 2 seconds duration wont do anything 😉

cedar storm
#

I don't understand lightning aegis. So if it procs I get 8 seconds of it, and if I take 30 more dmg it procs lightning rain? What does lightning rain do? Is it worth it to stack this on a spellblade, I see some people running the idols

rigid briar
# marsh maple so it will do 37 damage per second over 6 seconds

That's not the case. If it was so, increased duration would lower the DPS and be a pretty bad stat. So the Will 100% increase ignite duration make it do 74 over 6 seconds? is correct. It won't affect the DPS of the ailment, but it will affect the overall damage, just spread out over a longer period of time.

Yup it's good at prolonged fights ofcourse.

yeah im trying to make some tanky ignite marksman build working fine so far still trying to figure out where to get fire damage leech

#

but overall getting 100% glancing blow + lots of dodge on marksman seems easy on dot based skill since there are not too many dot points on tree

#

ignite doent seem to be as strong as poison tho

for a beastmaster with ~41% reduced damage taken, whats a good amount of life at lvl 85? have 1.7k. seems a tad low, though

hey, does this point in anomoly's skill tree apply to all time-rot even if applied through a different skill?

copper fable
#

I think the confusing part is that DoTs are presented as 37 damage over 3 seconds, ignite does 12.3 damage per second baseline, increasing the duration makes more sense when DoTs are presented in the damage they deal per second.

#

Where as unless the game guide is wrong, the gameguide presents ignite as dealing 37 damage total over 3 seconds. instead of just listing a dps.

broken pagoda
#

Ya got it. Do same damage per second but for longer time result in more total damage per stack

#

balmy current
#

Foolish me for thinking that people were using the damage/sec figures

broken pagoda
#

But Llama.. Please explain me the interaction of fire pen and ignite

#

I put 60% pen and didnt notice any damage

#

From it

balmy current
#

If it's 60% pen on hit then no, you wouldn't get any benefit for your ignites.

broken pagoda
#

Its fire pen no hit or anything mentionef

#

Barely if any dps differebt

balmy current
#

Which node/skill?

broken pagoda
#

When i wouldve assumed it should be 60+% more damage

#

Its fire bow unique +relic + the fire pen from the cider strike stacking buff

balmy current
#

Yes, that should work on your ignites form Cinder Strike.

#

Though the Fire Walker node appears to be bugged so it's entirely possible the Combustible node doesn't work with the ignites from Burning Daggers either

broken pagoda
#

Also i noticed nodes on cinder doesnt work on daggers even the mode damage dagger nodes dont incrrase their damage

#

But reduce mana they cost

balmy current
#

!bug

ripe brookBOT
broken pagoda
#

But even the fire pen on items doesnt seem to effect much the ignite

#

Or atleast not as much as i thought it should

balmy current
#

It depends how much shred you have

#

pen & shred are additive with each other & multiplicative with everything else.

lavish dew
#

So I got upto 60% pen from javelin tree, 16% from paladin tree and upto 40% pen from shock on bosses from stomrtide+shock weapon, etc.. Is lightning shred from the blessing worth it or the % lightning dmg might be better ?

balmy current
#

Not sure, you could get shred from a blessing & pick up something else in a skill tree or item.

lavish dew
#

Farming for the lightning dmg to test rn

#

Shock is too good to give up cos stun and 1 pt in tree is needed for pathing(I have 2 cos it seemed to give more dmg over mighty delivery

broken pagoda
#

Pen reduce effectiveness of shred but shred shouldntreduce the ehhectiveness of pen right?

#

Pen should always increase the damage

#

Even in case monsters has 0 resist 60% pen should result in 60% more damage?

static glacier
#

Same for shred... do the same
Negative res just gets added

#

Pen, shred, shock..... all - res gets summed and are one multiplier

broken pagoda
#

If monster has over cap doesnt shred become less effective?

static glacier
#

99% of monsters have 0% res

broken pagoda
#

I see

static glacier
#

The more of - res you allready have the relative less important adding more on the pile is

#

So if you add a 100% ed blessing on top of 1200% it is only 8% more .. adding 40% shred on -60% pen/shock should still be a lot better

#

Well it is... 25% more vs. 8% more

broken pagoda
#

Ya i grt that i didnt stack shred tho

#

Btw Llama mind share with me which part of the cinder nodes bugged? So i know

lavish dew
#

thanks think i'll keep the shred then

balmy current
balmy current
lavish dew
#

how much shred do u think it starts being not worth ?

#

*total

balmy current
#

Depends what the alternatives are

#

and how many stacks you can keep up on a boss

static glacier
#

Usually shred is the strongest dps blessing in the game by far for everything that doesnt have snail slow hit rate

#

I will claim for anything but lightning nothing comes even close

#

Lightning being n outliner with shock and how much pen is in pala tree

broken pagoda

#

When they add functioning tooltip to skills and effects it will be esier to test and also find bugs

30% pen while standing still vs 4% more and 4% attack speed

#

What you're looking for is something like PoB

#

Is there a way to fix huge ram usage in only start up?

#

everything is fine after I log in but when starting the game

#

it uses like 6gb ram

#

and sometimes crashes cuz no more ram available

broken pagoda
#

I guess pob is good. But no even skill tooltip like poe that show how much of your damage is pgys/lightning/fire etc.. How many ignites you put what will be the skill crit chance ignite duration:/effect on specific skill etc

#

The tool tip only show "dps" that probably isnt accurate aswell

balmy current
broken pagoda
#

Ya its np. Im just saying it will also make it easier to find bugs even for them

frosty mirage
#

If I’m not mistaken, the ailment chances on the character screen only display the global chance and doesn’t take into account sources like skill nodes (if active skill like ignite and fireball)

broken pagoda
#

Ya

frosty mirage
#

Try being a totem build where they don’t have a DPS indicator and don’t attack the dummy 😁😂

broken pagoda
#

I hate totems and minions xD i think this game push them too far and put them anywhere 😂

#

Kinda hope they stop pressure into summoning

frosty mirage
#

They would like every class to have a summoner viable master/build; some are a lot heavier than others

broken pagoda
#

Bad idea

#

I feel like game already 60% summon

frosty mirage
#

Acolyte and Primalist coming to mind with heavy summoner build mechanics, but you certainly don’t need them

lavish dew
#

Yeah manually calculating throwing crit chance is kinda weird. But I think they are going to be doing skill specific tooltips (said on devstream)

frosty mirage
#

Well, primalist maybe once they’re done with Druid rework

broken pagoda
#

All unique / set i found up to lvl 70 are minions

#

Also with acol/prim being like 6 masteries that push summons out of like barely masteries

#

Others dont need more minions

#

And sent got forge

#

For me its turn off especially since these classes punish tooo hard for not using summons

frosty mirage
#

Acolyte is missing a non-minion mastery, primalist I would argue is the worst off of the three in terms of non-summoning build adversity

#

Falconer and Runemaster will most likely have minion builds

broken pagoda
#

Yea

#

They want to force a minion mastery into every class but not a non summon related to evety class?

#

Meh

#

Minion should be smaller part of the game

#

If you want you can make them but shouldnt be like now

lavish dew
#

I hope falconer will have a movement skill where you ride/ get picked up by a gryphon/large falcon

broken pagoda
#

I lvled prim and quit because i felt like i must use minions or totem and class doesnt allow stand alone self cast

frosty mirage
#

Primalist is the worst off for that, the devs would like all of them to have minion and non-minion options. I’m hoping the Druid rework will bring that build diversity for non-minion builds into play. So I do agree with the Primalist class that diversity is severely lacking

Mage, Rogue, and Sentinel all have great non-minion class diversity, Acolyte would need to be Lich but I’m probably overlooking a build

lavish dew
#

Most of them have totems just for the buffs tho I think

broken pagoda
#

Some like it.. Personally i hate it

#

Mage and rouge should stay minion free pls

lavish dew
#

Yeah but don't they just get proc totem on hit idol and don't care about it

broken pagoda
#

You should.. Spell damage is for dpell and casting so if i take it i want to cast spell not build minion why give me 1 or 3 if i have minion?

#

It kinda pressure you to have minions

hollow socket
#

@broken pagoda Minions are one of the most popular playstyles in ARPGs, so prepare to see more of them. I can help you find non-minion builds on all classes if you need me.

#

as its 'drain' not 'decay'

balmy current

Nope

rapid girder

#

thanks

balmy current
#

health drain is different to health decay

#

even though the terms are usually synonymous

rapid girder
#

yis

#

just wondered if there was any other way to supplement decreased damage taken or if my only recourse is simply increasing my regen.

balmy current
#

If you want to stay in Reaper form longer, your only options are more hp, life on hit & leech. If you've taken the nodes like Unclosing Wounds, there's a passive in the Lich tree that reduces the health drain from them.

rapid girder
#

i got the max 75% drain reduction

#

was just wondering if there was more

balmy current
#

Crimson Gluttony (Acolyte passive) & Volatile Blood (Lich passive) are the only ones

rapid girder
#

thumbs_up thanks

balmy current
#

though you can get a fork-ton of healing from Aura of Decay

rapid girder
#

Im doing that right now

#

the missing health healing is pretty impressive

#

draws out reaper quite a bit.

brittle atlas

Generally just Soul Maw in the lich tree is enough to keep you in reaper for multiple minutes

ahh. not that high a level yet. I just maxxed volatile blood.

Hey y'all, coming back after a while and looking for good dot builds. I've run a poison lich before (poison was awesome with stacking damage) but I really don't like the lich form.

Yeah I saw that! Looks really cool. Do you have any suggestions for evaluating whether builds are like, broken, or viable for fun, or whatever without trying them out myself? Unless they're advertising "Arena 478,655!!!!!11!!" I have no idea which are S vs A vs whatever tiers. I just don't know much about the state of the game right now.

iron thistle
#

I think the meta of the game is still evolving rapidly enough that there aren't definitive build tiers.

brittle atlas
#

for the most part, any reasonably built character can get into empowered content and do it comfortably

iron thistle
#

Some stuff obviously performs well overall, but a lot of options have yet to really be explored.

#

At least publicly.

brittle atlas
#

it's only if you want to push into deeper corruption levels or the arena leaderboard that you need to consider different skills

#

but I strongly believe that basically everything can be built in a way to be good enough to do like 200 corruption ish right now

rare parrot
#

Thanks all for the responses :)

iron thistle
#

My suggestion would be to toss some stuff together on the build planner and make sure that any unique items you need still allow you to cap out resists and are obtainable before empowered(for first character, at least.)

brittle atlas
#

I would say probably don't consider uniques until you have them, even

#

obviously some stuff is more deterministically available than others

#

but

#

unless you're building around something easily available as like a monolith boss drop or something

#

I would say don't plan on having it

broken pagoda
iron thistle
#

Don't go building around Ravenous Void on your first character. XD

The tooltips definitely leave a lot to be desired

a lot of what you need to address to get into that higher level content is defenses, though, which are luckily relatively well explained, I think anyways

If you punch the tooltips hard enough, you might break your monitor.

#

broken pagoda
#

Yes i think all defensive stuff are not cobfusing at all

#

And very clear amd sinple but that is because they are mostly not cpnnected to a skill tree

rare parrot
#

The things that used to get me are the procced skills and what does or doesn't affect them and the base damages.

brittle atlas
#

Yeah, I think of a lot of the more uh...arcane or confusing descriptions tend to be in relation to damage scaling/interactions between nodes and subskills and ailments etc
