#

i got the boots literally on the first kill

#

funny thing about this is that it seems that I get bosses most rares uniques on the first kills

#

but somehow I can't get a fucking dreamthorn nor smoke weaver

warped dew
#

off for today good night lads

broken pagoda
#

Goodnight mate

#

Sleep tight

#

Dream of builds crafting

warped dew
#

Imma dream about 2 perfect daggers

#

and Omnis

broken pagoda
#

Haha yes that too

#

Whats that omnis?

#

Haha sweet daggers dreams mate

warped dew
#

Omnis is an unique amulet only dropped by Orobyss, it's very rare, and it has the right to be super rare, it gives +1 level to skills and 1-45% in all resistance

broken pagoda
#

Ohh nice ^^

woeful parcel
#

I'll dream you get all three yup

lone flume
#

if you have more stability when fighting a boss is that an advantage?

brittle atlas
#

No

#

No difference, you can just store up to two rounds of quest echoes worth of stability

lone flume
brittle atlas
#

That was poison lich last patch

lone flume
#

ah before WS nerf

brittle atlas
#

Similar clear at that corruption but much better single target

#

Yeah

lone flume
#

how is it in this patch?

brittle atlas
#

Not good

#

Compared to last patch that setup does about 98% less damage

lone flume
#

with that build you didn't need Drain Life for single target. I see

brittle atlas
#

Yeah, wandering spirits did all of the single target via applying poison stacks

lone flume
#

yes now they only good for armor/necrotic shread. Sad

does the community still do weekend fresh character competition things?

#

German community has some kind of race Events like once a month

limpid geyser
#

Am I doing it correctly in selling all the gear I dont need or is there a crafting system like in diablo and I can "scrap" them?

static glacier
#

You can shatter gear with affixes you want for crafting

#

Dont pick up anything else... gold value for selling gear is basicly 0

limpid geyser
#

👍

warped dew
#

Gamble an item for 11k > sell it for 500 gold lmao

broken pagoda
#

guys is it just me or monsters in arena like echos dont drop anything other than shards/potions and gold?

static glacier
#

Its like Arena... basicly no loot

broken pagoda
#

i see whats the point of arena then?

#

to flex?

#

xD

warped dew
#

for now ye

static glacier
#

Arena is totaly pointless if you are not intersted in the endless scalling just as a benchmark

broken pagoda
#

i see thanks

balmy current
broken pagoda
#

the only time i used the gamble was to make damage > mana crown

#

can the gamble really give good items?

#

can it roll exalted?

warped dew
#

No

#

you gamble for good rolled base

#

Other than that it's garbage

broken pagoda
#

i see thanks

radiant shadow
#

is there a way to get rid of that one block at the very center of the Idol inventory?

#

i don't think i missed a quest or anything

warped dew
#

nope

#

its just there

radiant shadow
warped dew
#

idk why tho

#

maybe to avoid abusing idols buffs

radiant shadow
#

yeah 1 idol is gonna make a huge difference innit

iron thistle
#

The idol slots used to just be a square grid, but I think they went this route to force some variance in which kinds of idols people used instead of just stacking 4-5 huge ones.

warped dew
#

^

#

if the middle slot was available you could just put fucking 4 slots idols everywhere and get the best of it

#

but since it's locked you have to make some kind of management

frosty mirage
#

Yupp, people were just slapping the 4 x 1 slots into every slot and calling it a day from what I have seen on deprecated builds

static glacier
#

Well it was 4 slots less than today (16 vs 20) but allowed 4×1×4 .. builds that used 4×2×2 were actually buffed and most 2×2 idols got nerfed cause of this 👀

broken pagoda
#

knowing that nothing can drop on the mini arena echos makes them really boring.. im like standing in the middle firing arrows all around hoping it would finally end ..

warped dew
#

then dont do arena

broken pagoda
#

its not arena

#

its in the cho

#

echo

frosty mirage
#

I like them, helps break up the usual "rush to objective" maps that monos typically are

warped dew
#

oh

#

yeah i find them boring as well

broken pagoda
#

i think they should make them drop 1 item when they end either set or unique or exalted all random 1 random item

#

to make some hype for them

#

or only put them on echos that their reward is unique/set / exalted

warped dew
#

mh nah

#

the RNG factor of it wouldn't be RNG anymore

#

because there's a lot of arenas in the web

frosty mirage
#

I honestly just follow paths with rewards that I want 😂

broken pagoda
#

yeah same

warped dew
#

I don't even do that anymore

frosty mirage
#

Although, all chapter 9 arenas suckkkkkk

#

Just Gorgons and Diamond Matrons and Rogues

broken pagoda
#

in my way of seeing it... is.. im at the item hunting process and part of the game.. why do i do echos? to find items.. i dont care for exp anymore or anything really.. i do echos to find items.. .and then there are these echos that literally drop no items at all and doesnt even ahve a chance to drop them

#

so when i enter into 1 of these echos thats a 100% waste of time from my side

#

and i just want the echo waves to end so i can move on to the next

warped dew
#

I'm getting too squishy what could I do to avoid getting OS by trash mobs ?

iron thistle
#

I ran into the same problem with my BD in my first empowered monolith. Even with 100% glancing blow, it's rough being at like 1500 health.

warped dew
#

I'm not even at 1k bruh

#

Thing is I only like its playstyle

#

I tried every other class and it feels so slow

#

I'm too used to PoE speedmeta

marsh maple
#

do you need fast?

#

cause we have fast, its just specific

broken pagoda
#

i just got that body armor that gives void damage per fire aura gives me ideas of some auras stacking

marsh maple
#

@warped dew do you need fast clear speed or like, movement speed fast? cause theres both

warped dew
#

Well I need both

#

I don't like the slow mechanics of other builds like cast smoke bomb, decoy, swift away to stack bleed, proc shadows with sync strike etc

#

whats stronger normal fire aura flame reave build or fire aura with void % from that unique body armor?

marsh maple
#

you caught me at the perfect time, Im actually doing Void Flame Aura rn. Its good. Idk if pure aura is better or not yet

warped dew
#

yeah but then again I don't get why my rogue is so squishy in empowered, ok it's empowered, ok I lack life, but all my res are capped, GB is at more than 100% I shouldn't get fucked this quick

broken pagoda
#

do you also add doom to it or stuff like time root etc?

marsh maple
#

Sadly theres no global chance for time rot, otherwise I would be using it

#

I am using doom rings though

broken pagoda
#

i see hha using flame reave for more aura or mana strike for the arc to benefit from spell damage?

marsh maple
#

Im using mana strike because im using fractured crown

#

which makes it so I take 50% of damage to mana

broken pagoda
#

yeah make sense i wanted to make build with that too but then i noticed like almost everything in the skill tree is not effecting mana arc as of now probably bug so i moved to next stuff

#

that crown could work nice on a high mana glacier crit too

marsh maple
#

well if you stay tuned the build guide should come out soon eventually. I am in empowereds trying to get void shred

broken pagoda
#

i mean for most part i enjoy making my own builds hahaha 😄 its just fun

#

but you are losing all the ward from spell blade tho

#

which could be quite alot on this build

#

like kinda passive 2k ward

amber notch
#

You can go faster but you'll not be as tanky and probably will need to pay more attention to mods

broken pagoda
#

btw LE im really curious how is FPS with aura build?

marsh maple
#

Ive found that MoM from fractured crown is more than enough

#

FPS?

#

completely fine so far

#

its just a lot of flashing

broken pagoda
#

hahah yeah converting it to other elenet reduce abit from the flash

warped dew
#

well i'm done with LE for now

broken pagoda
#

so FPS is not destroyed by stacking 20+ fire aura?

marsh maple
#

nah

#

FPS is like fine

#

its just more of an eyesore than anything

broken pagoda
#

also LE what does the bigger part of the damage ? the fire aura (void aura) or the mana strike/arc which used to proc them?

marsh maple
#

its gonna be your fire aura

#

mana strike is just there for void shred and mana

broken pagoda
#

have you considered going crit on the arc?

marsh maple
#

I am going full crit

#

but I went with no crit multi

#

im trying to crit so I proc this

#

at least once per second

broken pagoda
#

ohh yes easy to max crit

#

with mana arc/strike

#

i think they both get the crit based on mana from celestial right?

marsh maple
#

I believe so

#

its hard to tell sometimes

#

so many things happening

broken pagoda
# marsh maple

i dont think this really worth it tho.. the 1 second cd is kinda meh

marsh maple
#

Its sadly one of our only option

#

options*

iron thistle
#

Any thoughts on Mana Strike with Azurral's Fury belt? It's a build idea I've been floating for a little while.

marsh maple
#

@iron thistle I have plans for that one day

broken pagoda
#

when going mana and MoM yeah cause no ward.. but the mana> cost ward seesm more appealing

marsh maple
#

so @broken pagoda we get 50% inc damage per fire aura, so if we potentially get at least like 2-3 fire auras from the idol, it gives us like 150% icreased damage

broken pagoda
#

when you stack 2k increase

marsh maple
#

Well yeah I agree

broken pagoda
#

the 150 increase kinda meh

marsh maple
#

but ive gone down every avenue with this setup

#

its still extra fire auras

broken pagoda
#

what are the optiosn for mage idols? on ward based i think the mana cost> ward idols wins

#

they are also smaller i think

final maple
#

i'm sure this gets asked a lot, but does the game got enough content* to be worth getting now? i was waiting for multiplayer but i'm bored, so mostly worried about how finished it is since no end game and campaign isn't finished.

broken pagoda
#

i been playing it like 10-12 hours every day in last 2 weeks

#

sure there are stuff id like to see fixed/imroved/added but gosh it is so good and so fun as it is right now

iron thistle
#

Endgame is mostly farming monolith for now, but there's enough to farm and plenty of builds to try to keep you occupied.

broken pagoda
#

they are not random and no weird 1 shooting

#

and all that bs

broken pagoda
# marsh maple its still extra fire auras

anyways have you tried crit multi ? since the current mana > crit base should make it really easy to max crit maybe mana strike/arc could do really good damage . i guess tho there are not many ways to get as much flat void damage but we could try different weapon and maybe try get high melee void damage and try focus on the melee attack rather than the aura

warped dew
#

I know there's a lot of fun builds out there but they all rely on synergies between skills making you have to cast multiple things to get the best of it and that's exactly what I don't like

iron thistle
#

LE was designed to have much more interactive gameplay than just turn on auras, move skill and damage skill, speed run content in a few seconds.

warped dew
#

I know

#

But then you'd have to rely on skills u don't really want to use

iron thistle
#

There are so many cool skills, though. Why not use more than one?

broken pagoda
#

hahaha while its true its funny how cinder strike is just take coating oil nodes on it hold right click + left click

#

and get all you need from stacking oil

marsh maple
#

Even my one button builds require the assistance of other skills to do applicable single target

broken pagoda
#

cinder doesnt require anything xD

#

i mean sure you use your shift/dodge

#

but

#

other than that

#

you just click on cinder and dont let go

#

it gives you 3k dodge just from attacking (flat) it gives you tonsssss of fire damage

#

and pen

#

😄

#

so if you look for a build that dont need complex interaction cinder is fun

warped dew
#

Cinder slow tho

#

I need to go zoom zoom and need my skills to flash

broken pagoda
#

slow? xD

#

stack alot of ignite and attack speed

#

or crit with daggers and the flat throwing

#

form oil

warped dew
#

It'll never be faster than flurry

broken pagoda
#

i dont think anything is

#

but it desinged to be

#

flurry xD

#

but cinder is in no way slow skill

#

detonate arrow is slow attacking

#

but cinder 2 hits after the big one are rapid hits

#

or you can make lightning blst?

#

i think its super zoom zoom

#

and kinda simple like poe ar

#

arc

broken pagoda
#

i wonder if these are any good or could actually work for a mage build

woeful parcel
#

Just a clarification question

What does this wording mean "additional sword strike... Is that just an extra strike without getting another stack

Or are stacks, and strikes different

#

Or is it actually another hit for more single target

copper fable
#

multistrike creates an additional sword per stack, so if you had 3 stacks, it creates 3 swords. This makes it so if you have 3 stacks as your max, at 3 stacks you make 4 swords. Stacks and strikes are different, there is also a node that makes it so you get a strike even with 0 stacks.

#

Also just to clarify, the extra swords never hit the same target. You can space yourself to create a sword without hitting with the base melee hit on bosses if you wanna summon smites for example, but extra swords do nothing for single target.

At level 45 you should get access to engraved gauntlet glove base. Using those and a couple suffix slots or the endurance nodes at the start of the Druid tree you can cap out endurance %, which is a pretty strong defensive layer. Otherwise, Primalist has some really strong generic defensive passives- Berserker in the primalist tree, then the aspect of the boar and porcine constitution nodes in beastmaster

#

Also, just getting more hp. From passives, and then also making sure you get all of the increased health affixes you can- on helm, chest, gloves, belt, and boots

radiant shadow
#

what character did you choose

#

going for necro or lich?

#

class really determines difficulty

#

necromancer has it easy because minions

#

Lich can be easy if you know what to do. But as long as you don't get swarmed or one shot, difficulty stays pretty normal

#

until you hit the current last boss, then difficulty spikes to 5000%

amber notch
#

Campaign goes up and down in difficulty, if you've played ARPGs before it's not hard

#

Endgame is a bit harder

#

And depends on how hard you want to make it

warped dew
#

Does the passive from blademancer tree "Deaht's Choice" works according to the endurance threshold ? Meaning if I got it capped at 60% I will always take 24% DR once I get below the threshold or is it separate things ?

quartz dagger
#

question, as I was thinking about trying to build my own primalist beastmaster build: Do the effect of the wolves howl and frenzy totem stack? or is it pick one

marsh maple
#

no they dont stack @quartz dagger

quartz dagger
#

alright, thanks

warped dew
#

It's not really specified what is "low health", is it 30% and it can't be modified or does it work with endurance and such stuff

green tendon
warped dew
#

So having endurance capped does not affect Death Choice passive then?

green tendon
#

I'd have to see the deaths choice passive but it seems likely

warped dew
#

Also something just came through my mind, since Flurry can be channeled, meaning it doesn't gain anything from "3rd attack deals blablabla" nodes, does it stacks bleed ? I feel like bleed is more effective when I cast Flurry multiple times than just channeling it

#

Nvm its stack the same, its just weird

green tendon
#

Correct, Death's Door would stack with endurance but does not get altered by endurance.

green tendon
warped dew
#

So it's working along with base endurance% or the threshold ?

frosty mirage
#

The threshold is simply when endurance kicks in, if you want them to kick in at the same time you will want to get threshold to roughly 35% of your health

#

But if doing a lowlife build ward build, this should already be the case

warped dew
#

Nope, just asking

#

I got told to get my endurance capped

#

which I did

#

But wait

green tendon
#

Basically:
Below 35% life, you take -24% damage due to Death's Door.
Below your endurance threshold, you take your endurance% less damage due to endurance.
If your endurance% is 60, then when both apply you'd take about 70% less damage in total.

warped dew
#

I got endurance wrong

#

I thought it was a threshold where below whatever % damage reduction would take place

green tendon
#

1 - 0.76 x 0.4 = 0.696 reduction or 69.6% less damage taken

warped dew
#

but I get 60% DR under the actual threshold which is really low

green tendon
#

What's your threshold and what's your life?

warped dew
#

259 threshold for 1k2

green tendon
#

That's about 21.5%

#

So yeah, between 35% and 21.5%, you'd get 24% damage reduction. Below 21.5%, you'd get 24% x 60% = 69.6%

warped dew
#

would it be rounded to 100% with 71% GB ?

#

I'd have to get my threshold higher if I want more survivability then

green tendon
green tendon
#

With glancing blows you take 35% less damage from a hit. That would be 69.6% x 35% = 80%.

warped dew
#

Does GB have a cooldown tho ? A permanent 35% DR seems a bit OP

green tendon
#

GB is generally somewhat hard to get to 100%.

#

Rule of thumb is that when you want to increase a number, multiplying them together is better than adding them together. When you want to reduce a number, multiplying them is worse than adding together.

#

Also, GB only works on hits, not DoTs.

#

Endurance works on DoTs as well

warped dew
#

Oh ok, I knew about GB not working on DoTs but didn't about endurance

frosty mirage
# green tendon Note that endurance does not work on ward.

Thanks for the clarification, should have searched that, also tracks in terms of why ward overall (outside of hidden .5 modifier in ward retention) is in a weak spot

Yet to do a ward build because I’ve found them to be meh personally

green tendon
#

Yeah they are finnicky at best. Endurance does say in game that it doesn't work on ward, but it's not the most intuitive thing in the world.

frosty mirage
#

I’ve never gone ward, but I typically work with Rogue, Primalist, and Sentinel builds

#

My necro is just high HP as well since I use block and armor

brave ibex
#

You need a lot of consistent ward generation for it to be better than just HP stacking. Some of the new uniques are really good for that. Overall though it ends up being pretty niche because if you can Hp stack and use leech, you'll always do that rather than ward

broken pagoda
#

guys i need help understanding 1 node pls

#

this node if i understand it right can only create 1 fire aura per second regardless of if you are attacking or moving right?

amber notch
#

Yes

broken pagoda
#

is this really good node then and worth spending points on?

#

even when maxed its 40% per second

#

8 points and lets say it was 50% chance thats still avrage of 1 aura every 2 seconds at the most

#

i mean i can see how its comfortable cause you have some stacks as you walk to clean trash

#

but in boss fight is this any real help?

warped dew
#

I guess fire aura stacks ignite

#

So it helps in a way

broken pagoda
#

fire aura stack ignite?

warped dew
#

well

#

it's fire

#

so it deals fire damage

#

and I think every source of fire has a chance to ignite no ?

broken pagoda
#

dont think so its not hit

warped dew
#

it works as a DoT

#

so in some sort of way it's an ignite proc but I don't think it works like this

balmy current
#

No, fire aura is a dot so can't hit therefore can't ignite.

broken pagoda
#

Llama can we craft spell damage on a melee weapon?

warped dew
#

thats the kind of things u can check yourself noiwk

broken pagoda
#

true

warped dew
#

instead of waiting for an answer simply open your materials window, search the affix and look on which gear u can craft it

broken pagoda
#

yeah on it

warped dew
#

and you can

#

well

broken pagoda
#

working on new build giving me trouble xD

warped dew
#

in a way all weapons are melee

#

but you can only craft it on :
Any jewelry
Sceptre
Wand
Two-Handed Staff
Off-Hand Catalyst

#

jesus empowered are really something else

#

look at those nodes

broken pagoda
#

xD

#

most of the damage nodes are prefix tho xD Umm

woeful parcel
broken pagoda
#

ohh dagger can come with a base addaptive spell damage

#

and decent attack speed too

woeful parcel
#

Nice nice

broken pagoda
#

just making sure the melee spell blade skills are not melee+spell hybrid right? they are pure melee and spell not effecting them

#

?

woeful parcel
#

Like flame reave for example?

#

Pretty sure just melee tag

warped dew
#

I wouldn't go for daggers as a mage

#

1H weapons suffers from reduced % on affixes

broken pagoda
#

yeh

warped dew
#

Where 2H gets more than twice the %

#

If you're planning to play with a shield why not

#

But 2H are BiS for some classes

broken pagoda
#

thing is

#

if i go ignite + fire aura

#

attack speed> all

warped dew
#

Like Sentiel for example, you could go DW

broken pagoda
#

as long as i can maintain mana cost

warped dew
#

But then 2H has more % and Warpath has inbuilt nodes that makes 2H gets double stats

woeful parcel
#

:)

broken pagoda
#

the spell damage on dagger can help scale fire aura and it has base attack speed of 1.1

#

off hand cat can provide alot of ward per second

warped dew
#

yeah but look at those

broken pagoda
#

is there a away to get - mana cost for melee ?

warped dew
#

the fuck

#

wait

broken pagoda
#

brcause i think weapon choice will depend alot of if im able to sustain mana

warped dew
#

It's better using those

#

You'll lose attack speed that's for sure

#

but you get a maximum of 80 with 2 perfect rolled daggers

#

where the sorcery staff with the weakest roll has 81

#

Catalysts gives ward but you have to make a build around ward and be able to sustain it

broken pagoda
#

thats true but i got 50% chance to create fire aura when attacking with flame reave

warped dew
#

pretty sure you can craft ward on weapons

broken pagoda
#

so attack speed = more fire aura

#

also if i go for ignite + fire aura

#

which is what im trying to do

#

more attacks = more ignire + more fire aura

#

and the ignite doesnt really scale from spell damage

warped dew
#

frankly you'd better lose attack speed and get more spell damage than going the other way

broken pagoda
#

i mean that depends on if i can keep up with mana cost i guess because look theres that sword with 1.24 base attack speed

#

and 56% damage over time

#

base attack speed really matters

#

but then again

#

2H isnt a bad choice if i cant sustain mana

#

it will give me more chance to ignite and more damage % /flat

#

and make it easier to keep mana

#

another option i consider is

#

converting to lighting to build around fire aura + shock to get reduce lighting resist

#

and use mana strike

#

and Culnivar's Claim

#

to constantly convert mana into ward

#

so then i trade ignite > shock and 30% less chance on hit to create aura

warped dew
#

Idk

#

Also btw you should try to focus on ONE character, I know you're curious to test everything, I'm the same, but really you should stick to the character you're having most fun with and push it to empowered monos, you'll find so much good shit you'll be able to make other and stronger builds later on

woeful parcel
broken pagoda
#

never gonna know which i like most if i dont try others

#

and im at point where im getting bored of my cinder strike marksman

#

doesnt mean i quit it

#

but it means i want to start think of another build

#

and use that marksman as i do empowered to farm the items

#

i need for the next build

warped dew
#

yeah but if you don't play your marksman anymore u wont be able to get good stuff

broken pagoda
#

if i dont know what i wanna make next i wont pick up the "good stuff" like i said i dont stop using it but soon i will

woeful parcel
#

No worries

warped dew
#

Fucking ranged monsters

#

Throwing 7894616 things simultaneously

#

and I can't properly dodge it because my dodge skill has a fucking cooldown

#

also lags because too many ennemies why not

#

"damage reduction" more like "those are just numbers they're not effective"

#

71% GB chance but guess what let's take the 29 non GB chance and proc it every single time

#

I could beat 5 Majasas with ease but those trash mobs I swear they're just too strong, Orobyss can go back to sleep we've found way stronger

austere ember
#

mobs be like "together stronk"

warped dew
#

Facts

broken pagoda
#

does 15% endurance is added to the 20% reduction or is like *1.15 ?

#

in better words is getting 15% endurance make the damage reduction 35%?

#

or increase the base 20% by 15% and make it 23% reduction?

balmy current
#

20% + 15% = 35%

broken pagoda
#

wow

#

that is op

#

so if im honest getting higher life kinda pointless

#

it seems much better to get block/damage reduce/arrmor + endurance

#

rather than building higher life pool

not so op if u don't get your threshold at higher values

#

I have 60% endurance

broken pagoda
#

yes ofc

warped dew
#

but my threshold is 247 for 1235 HP

#

So it's quite useless by now

broken pagoda
#

but im saying better keep low hp + high threshhold

warped dew
#

no

broken pagoda
#

ya items dont seme to give much threshold

warped dew
#

you only want low hp when playing a ward build most of the time

#

that's what most of the community says

broken pagoda
#

i meant not low % of life

balmy current
broken pagoda
#

but not having high life pool

warped dew
#

ok nvm

#

you still don't want low hp tho

balmy current
#

at least with Exsanguinous/Last Steps

broken pagoda
#

yeah Sk i jsut say that ptobably taking reductions and stuff is more valued than taking life

#

and that life seems abit less appealing now

you always want life

no matter what

Not many pure ET builds out there, outside of BM not many passives that raise ET, so it requires a significant investment gear wise that just isn’t worth compared to dumping into health

woeful parcel
#

Endurance threshold?

warped dew
#

yeah but then what's the point of having 60% endurance when your health barely goes below that threshold and the only times u get killed is because of massive hits/dots or even trash mobs spamming ranged attacks

woeful parcel
#

And endurance doesn't effect DoT I'd imagine

broken pagoda

it does

#

thats what makes it so strong

Oh whoops

Oh yeah GB doesn't affect DoTs

broken pagoda
#

block doesnt

#

glancing blow doesnt

#

im pretty sure dodge not supposed to but it actually does there is this boss that has dot poison spell in a cone and line and i do dodge it on my marksman

#

also the fire breath

warped dew
#

what

broken pagoda
#

but maybe they are actually hit

warped dew
#

what boss

broken pagoda
#

the one on echo reset

warped dew
#

Orobyss

broken pagoda
#

ya

warped dew
#

Ok so

#

Bleed is a DoT

#

Poison is a DoT

broken pagoda
#

these alliement tho applied by the hit

warped dew
#

Stacking those 2, even ignite, they're DoTs

broken pagoda
#

if you dodge the hit you dodge the bleed i think

warped dew
#

But to stack those you have to hit, right ?

#

Then if you dodge his spits, he doesn't have time to hit you multiple times, meaning he only stacks 1 or 2 poison/ignite whatever

#

But you still get damaged, not a lot

#

What works for the player also works for mobs

broken pagoda
#

yeah

#

dodge very strong defenisve in my opinion

warped dew
#

yeah it works

#

that's the mechanic of dodging tho

And many games don't have a cheap section where the loss isn't as high. Especially PoE.

My bow mage has a mana cost of 1 on flurry, nothing in the skill tree increases it by 1. Any ideas why that might be

warped dew
#

What level are you ?

#

@amber notch

amber notch
#

Like 70

#

It doesn't cost 1 mana on my blademaster (which isn't specialised in flurry)

warped dew
#

Check base Rogue tree, if you have "Coated Blades", also check Marksman if you have points into "Ethereal Arrows" or "Mana Warp"

#

Also could be gear related but idk about this one

#

Are you channeling flurry ?

amber notch
#

Coated blades doesn't increase 0 mana cost skills

#

Yes

warped dew
#

Well there you go

#

Base mana cost of channeled flurry is 1

amber notch
#

.. channeling has a cost over time but doesn't mention an initial cost

warped dew
#

Well it kinda does in a way

#

Not that easy to understand but it states "to maintain", you still have to cast it

#

But 5 mana cost per sec is nothing

#

And flurry is way more powerful with channeling anyways

amber notch
#

I know, but the initial 1 mana cost makes Coated Blades make it cost more, if it wasn't 0 then coated blades wouldn't increase it

#

Thus it would be free to cast still

warped dew
#

Yeah but it also wouldn't increase its damage

amber notch
#

I know, I'm figuring out whether I can make it trigger HoA without it costing mana but getting the benefit of the mana scaling nodes

warped dew
#

Pretty sure you can't proc HoA through flurry

#

If you're talking about Rain of Arrows well.. Sorry to disappoint you but HoA and RoA are two separate things

elder bolt
#

guys... what this line mean? if i have 300% lightning resis, so i have 100% mana regen?

radiant shadow
#

cap res is 75%

#

anything over 75 won't effect it

elder bolt
#

ah,thx!

radiant shadow
#

think that's around like 25% mana regen?

elder bolt
#

if so..25% is some kind of meme..unique

radiant shadow
#

most uniques are kind of ass imo

#

benefits and affects are negligible, better off with a good rolled exalt

#

also doesn't help the fact 90% of the dropped uniques are unusable, considering the loot table doesn't take into account your class

pseudo dust
#

It says uncapped though

iron thistle
#

It's 100%. It's based on total lightning res, not the value at which enemies no longer penetrate.

copper fable
#

Yeah anything that mentions uncapped is looking at the uncapped raw value, not simply what you can have up to. You can use that item to get very high amounts of regen if you want to put lightning res on all slots.

iron thistle
#

It's really tempting for my current build, but I'd lose out on +2 Tornado and maybe +2 Maelstrom as well as a bunch of potential health. I'd also have to somehow get up to 450 lightning resistance to cover my mana costs. Too much investment probably.

radiant shadow
elder bolt
#

but in this game there's no flat mana regen source like clarity right? it's poor 8 per second...even if i have 400% regen that's 40 mana per sec...still not enough(maybe i'm wrong

wide sentinel
#

what?

#

40 mana regen is not enough for what skill?

elder bolt
#

meteor spam?

wide sentinel
#

its not a skill you are supposed to spam

#

lmao

#

and you have focus that you can use with negative mana nodes should be more than enough for decent gameplay

copper fable
#

Basically if you come from PoE, this game does have a limit there is just some skills that cant be your main skill, meteor is one of them sadly. you have to use it as a "big nuke" button and have another filler skill that costs 0 mana usually used to fill in the gap meteor leaves

wide sentinel
#

why would you need t6/7 throwing damage shield?

#

if anything its better to get t6/t7 block chance shield cause the node on the tree works multiplicatively

#

and throwing damage affix on shield is no different than any %inc damage affix on any gear or passive

it's a conversion to void damage

Posing this here and in the Dev area. Blitz in the multistrike tree fully spec'd has 50% physical penetration. Does this apply to bleed in the sense that it should increase bleeds dmg on the target since the target would only have 50% physical mitigation each hit. Messing around with it, it seems to be the case but i would like to verify this.,

Sorry if this is the wrong channel, but I have a question about the Meditation node on Sigils of Hope. I saw a build guide take both that and Sigils of Despair, and it certainly isn't doing anything to my regen... so is it doubling the added damage that replaced the regen, or just doing nothing and its inclusion is some sort of mistake?

#

This would be easier to check myself, but I'm not aware of an easy place to check flat damage added on my sheet.

brave ibex
#

Yeah Meditation isn't doing anything if you've also taken Sigils of Despair. I assume the guide probably took Meditation to get to the node after that gives block chance, but it could also just be a mistake

However, if Void Cleave had "more spell damage" or "more void damage" or "more damage over time" nodes, those would apply

#

What's ballpark hp for high level empowered/corrupt mono mobs?

austere ember
#

Heavily depends on your class and build

#

1000~1500hp can be fine for a rogue with high dodge+glancing blow+block, or a mage with shitton of ward
whereas 2000hp can feel a little bit squishy for a character that just has a lil bit of armor and nothing else

brittle atlas
#

1500 going into empowered, but eventually I'd want at least 2000 on every class

#

but some classes like primalist or sentinel could easily be over 3k, sometimes over 4k

robust pawn
#

I mean the mobs hp

brittle atlas
#

oh uh

#

without mods like

#

maybe 3-4k for smaller mobs

#

bigger mobs like 15-20k?

#

for base empowered

#

some mobs are way tankier than others

#

but for the most part, normal stuff is paper

robust pawn
#

oh that's excellent

#

I was figuring 20k hp + for my freeze calcs

#

ty

brittle atlas
#

depends how high you go

#

and modifiers are way more impactful than base corruption

#

especially since you'll often want to be taking increased hp modifiers to avoid taking damage modifiers

stable remnant

I saw on last epoch tools there is a new polearm base called the Jadebone Javelin with an increased poison damage implicit, but it's tagged as "Can't drop". Does that mean it's in the game, but unobtainable?

Hey y'all, I'm looking at lightning blast and the "halo effect" spark nova and the "cloud answer" spark charge procs. Do shattershock and frontloaded apply to those spells when procced from lightning blast? Does storm razor?

in case anyone else is looking for this, I think I answered my own question, the tooltip says no, the tooltip damage for spark nova doesn't change when you allocate points to frontloaded.

So I finally realised after a couple deaths that even after the monolith changes I do seem to, at least some of the time, be losing stability when I die. I haven't looked closely enough to tell though, does anybody know roughly how bad it is?

iron thistle
#

I've noticed a loss of 10-20 when I die, but I've only looked when I was done building stability and had to go run another echo to do all 3 quests.

thin iron
#

That does sound about right according to my other source (a very vague hunch I'm choosing to trust). Thank you.

#

Mostly it happens from leaving the computer at the wrong moment, or dying a couple times to a Shade of Orobyss fight. So far.

#

Are XP nodes on rifts completely useless after 100?

#

I mean, gold is useless right now so I wouldn't rule it out.

#

(Pretty grateful for now though, 100 is a ways off.)

iron thistle
#

You can still build up to 100 with 99% XP.

#

But basically useless. Higher XP gains do relevel skills faster if you reset them, though.

thin iron
#

Oh, fair point.

#

Thank you.

iron thistle
#

Gold isn't quite useless. You can buy up to 200 stash tabs at increasing costs and also gamble for crafting bases.

#

Okay, I didn't know there were that many.

I mean, 200 stash tabs. Goodness.

I went through my unique and sets tabs to get rid of duplicates and now I just filter them as I collect. If it isn't better stats and I don't need multiple, vendor it.

#

Exalted items just get dumped, though. Who KNOWS when those might be useful?

Definitely going to need to hold onto that bow with poison and stun chance.

Coral Wands with ignite chance and exalted melee physical damage.

#

Hopefully the legendary item system makes better use of those rolls. It's supposed to do something cool with exalted items.

thin iron
#

I'm looking forward to it, yes.

#

Honestly the post's part about changing crafting surprised me.

#

I think it says a lot about this game's devs that they looked at this system and went 'sometimes it feels bad so we should still work on it'.

#

The single most encouraging part of this game - though, don't get me wrong, it's also really good - is the general attitude of the developers.

random dock
thin iron
random dock
#

oh yeah I meant when you barely started crafting on an item like crafting the 3rd mod and boom breaks

thin iron
#

Basically, if something is a hassle, out of player control, or not explained enough - already less common than in much of the genre - it's an oversight they're going to fix. As opposed to an actual ideological position that came from doing all-white-item Diablo 2 runs or whatever, which- much as I love those games, comes up a lot with the Path of Exile and Grim Dawn teams.

random dock
#

I do really like the crafting system though

thin iron
#

So LE is a good game but I can also just sit back and trust it to get a lot better.

#

(As a bonus, it's also easier to recommend to friends, because this is usually a pretty inaccessible genre.)

random dock
#

yeah I know it will get better 😎 and its already really good

#

YES thats a big one its really easy to get into

thin iron
#

At the same time, for someone who's been in the genre longer, I appreciate that the moment to moment gameplay tends to be a bit more intricate, with five skills (that are usually a bit more detailed than fire-and-forget buffs or movement skills).

#

Closer to the Grim Dawn end of combat complexity, let's say.

iron thistle
thin iron
#

I like PoE, but it's also a fantastic example of the corrosive influence that free-to-play/'games as a service' design has on a game even if there's nothing you need to pay money for (stash tabs are... at least not a major expense, but even if you ignore that).

Though I now realise you meant sheer opaque complexity and not the way the league structure makes some harsh demands on people's time.

Does "Health on Kill" affix apply if a minion kill an enemy?

It shouldn't. Minion stats and player stats are entirely separate.

Anyway life on kill is a bonus best case. So not build around it

#

Say, are there plans for more things using void damage than VK or a certain Last Ruin set? ...Are there more uses for it now that I'm just not aware of?

#

(I know we don't know anything about unreleased classes so that's a big question mark. Though, it wouldn't shock me coming from Warlock or anything.)

#

Just struck me that it's a pretty heavily supported damage type that has a fairly narrow range of users.

hollow socket
#

From what I've read here, the devs don't care as much about that as about a coherent image of a mastery class. So it's unlikely there'll be any void skills on existing masteries, but we don't know much about the missing ones yet.

frosty mirage
#

Mike has also discussed how they like each class having 3-4 “core” damage types with peripheral skills that could possibly support another damage type. This is also where other uniques can come into play and help support those peripheral damage types into something viable.

Arguably the best example of this is the Bowmage build that uses Reign of Winter and Mourningfrost to create a cold MM when generally rogue is fire, poison, physical. That or Lightning Shuriken build with Fulgurite Shards

Primalist is another good example with Tornado and Earthquake having fire conversion nodes along with say Maehlins Hubris that converts bleed chance to ignite chance

when should, in theory, come the 8.4 update? end of the month?

frosty mirage

#

yes it coming this year

balmy current
#

Likely 2-3 months after 0.8.3 (early September) and given the amount being added probably the back end of that timeframe

Real question is what's the likelihood of 0.8.4 becoming 0.9.0 instead? eyes

None of their MP update posts have sounded like "we're pretty much there, we just need to polish it up a bit before letting you street urchins at it".

Or street starfish if you played a certain discworld game back in the day

Yeah, that happens.

If you die at the same time as you get healed sometimes LE gets a bit confused.

If anyone knows/would be willing to answer... what does rarity affect? Drop rates for unique/set items, I know, and specifically what unique/set items drop even from within a boss's drop pool.

Anything else, though? Types of affixes that show up, whether on items or in shards, affix tiers, base items, anything? I feel like it's affected affix tiers at minimum, but that could also be a function of area level since I'm tackling harder timelines.

What's my best bet for leveling in a hurry?

#

I'm level 88 staring down empowered timelines, so if there's a quicker way than doing rifts...

#

(Mostly I'm unsure if arena is a better bet.)

austere ember
#

Nope, just spamming empowered monoliths is probably what you want to reach max level

Understood, thank you.

Hmm leveling with shield throw, feel like getting one of the "cooldown is done once shield returns" nodes is pretty much required unless you have another skill for constant clear lol

lone flume
#

Same as with Javelin (Holy Trail node)

woeful parcel
#

Makes sense, I'll remember that

lavish dew
#

Anyone know how exactly does frequency work on stuff like for example the tornado skill's lightning proc nodes ?

hollow socket
balmy current
#

So 1 point in Frequent Lightning would reduce the time between lightnings from 2s to (2 / 1.35) 1.48s

hollow socket
#

Which means you can't get it to 0, too.

balmy current
#

correct

#

Max points in that node would get it down to 2 / (1+1.4) = 0.83s

#

X / (1 + Y) is a common formula LE uses for cooldowns & frequencies.

woeful parcel
hollow socket
#

Hammer throw has decent boss damage if you don't remove the return.

#

But you can spec the node for shield throw if you pass by it anyways for your build.

balmy current
#

Orbiting Hammers do an awful lot of damage to large mobs since they can hit it multiple times.

hollow socket
#

Well save for base throwing damage, but shield throw needs that anyways.

woeful parcel
#

Indeed I'm starting back up shortly

#

Gonna test one thing, if shield bash doesn't have a cooldown does it still give +5 ricochets

languid elbow
#

If a skill passive gives +200% melee bleed chance with 5/5 ranks, what does that mean? It's guaranteed to cause 2 stacks per hit?

amber notch
#

Yes

ii cant see not takiing the no cD node

#

if its just a shield throw build

woeful parcel
#

Yeah now that I've played with it more

#

I agree

#

But I think I'm going freeze this for now, then relevel a forge guard as they honestly seem like the best for it. I don't really like void knight with it so far but I'll still bring this to what my concept actually was.

frank wasp
#

i think iive seen in chat pally being "the best"

woeful parcel
#

Hmm interesting, haven't don't that

frank wasp
#

forge guard seems the most fun, so thats what im goin for

#

when i make a shield toss build

woeful parcel
#

Yeah can get manifest armor to help out too, as it can bounce off him

#

XD

frank wasp
#

can get manifest armor if u go pally

woeful parcel
#

Yeah right? It's cost 15 iirc

frank wasp
#

im goiin forge guard for ring of shields, which will synergize with lunge and shield bash

woeful parcel
#

Ring of shields is the one

#

Yeah

#

Oh the shield bash no cd+ extra ricochet does work

#

So you can get +5 each sheild bash

frank wasp
#

yea, and shield bash can be cast when yyoou lunge at something

#

and ring of shields forms a bigger walll for shield bash aoe

#

its gonna be fun

does CDR works for CDs on the passive tree?

balmy current
#

No

#

CDR only works for skills

woeful parcel
#

Is lava burst considered another hit, on top of the shield throw?

So it could theoretically apply a stack on the enemies it hits as well?

woeful parcel
#

Okay cool

broken pagoda
#

guys the archmage passive point in mage says "trippled if you have 200 max mana" does that mean if i have 200 or more? or need to have exact 200 ?

woeful parcel
#

I'd imagine 200 or more, that'd be so rough

broken pagoda
#

yeah its my guess aswll but want to make sure

balmy current
#

Or more.

hello does the avalanche boulder casted from the halvar set is modified by the avalanche skill tree ?

mortal sparrow
#

If I start a monolith run and log out, does it reset my progress?

brittle atlas
#

You’d need to redo whatever given echo you’re in, but stability/quest state is saved

#

Your web, stability amounts, quest completions, etc. don’t go away if you log out

mortal sparrow
#

oh neat, so essentially you can keep doing echoes in the same timeline?

#

and if you want a higher level timeline you just start working on those, but otherwise you can keep progress on the lower level ones?

#

hmm I may need to just play more to figure it out lol

#

I just finished the level 58 one and did the 3 quest echoes and got a blessing - so then it returned me to the front

#

so now it looks like it reset my progress more or less but kept the echoes i completed previously, as compelted

austere ember
mortal sparrow
#

okay so I have a bit of grinding to go just having completed one sweep of 58

austere ember
#

Yup, my advice would be to keep pushing the higher level monoliths as soon as you unlock them, even if you're under the zone level

brittle atlas
#

Yeah, you should generally not need to farm any of the lower level ones

#

Just progress to the highest level one you can basically

#

So from 58 to 68 or whatever is now

#

Main goal is to just rush stability for quest echoes to move to the next timeline ASAP so you can get into empowered content

#

Normal monoliths don’t have any carry over into their empowered counterparts, so I would generally avoid investing any more time than absolutely required in normal

lavish dew
#

Any way to check the exact stats of tempest, storm orb and hailstorm skills on tempest strike ? Maybe a mistake but I can't see them ingame or in lastepochtools/tunklabs. I wanna see if they scale with attunement and their added dmg effectiveness

brittle atlas
#

they all scale with the attunement and strength scaling of tempest strike, as they are subskills and thus inherit their parent skill's attribute scaling

#

base damage-wise...I have no idea

#

that kind of stuff is pretty difficult to find if tunklabs or le tools aren't showing it.

lavish dew
#

Yeah I wanna see if its better to get more NW proc chance to proc more tempest or just get the flat dmg to LB

#

If its 150% added dmg effectiveness same as the other skills then its a def must have

#

Lightning blast feels pretty underwhelming even with those points

fringe birch

Hailstorm looks spicy

thin iron

For rift mod purposes, how does the game define 'high health enemies'?

#

Does it just mean... not low health, as in above 35%?

above 65%

#

does anyone know what the explode node in Bone Curse scale off?

balmy current
#

Likely spell/phys/int

woeful parcel
#

That'd be my guess

pastel garnet
#

flat damage? not scaled on enemy hp?

brittle atlas
#

Correct

#

I don’t know of anything in the game that scales damage off enemy hp off the top of my head

woeful parcel
#

Yeah it's more of a "corpse explosion usually equals max hp of monsters"

#

But last epoch that isn't the case

pastel garnet
#

probably a smarqt decision given how enemy hp scales with corruption

woeful parcel
#

Tell that to harvest mobs in Poe I mean 👀

brittle atlas
#

Honestly the overall hp scaling of enemies in LE is pretty low. Even at high corruption most normal enemies only have a few thousand hp

pastel garnet
#

do i need overcapped res for arena?

brittle atlas
#

Like doing ~570 this patch to farm gaspar, most normal enemies seemed to have maybe 3-4K hp

#

Not really

#

You might want a slight lightning or poison overcap

#

But not much

woeful parcel
#

The resistance penetration thing is an Interesting concept

#

Like per level of area

brittle atlas
#

And definitely not enough to sacrifice hp suffixes for

#

Yeah, the resistance system in LE makes being undercapped super low impact

pastel garnet
#

i got 2k hp and a lot of ward from zombies and skeleton exploding might be good enough to try arena now

brittle atlas
#

Compared to the modifiers in monolith or just raw enemy scaling in arena

pastel garnet
#

are arena rewards better then mono?

#

well they kind of balance the game around 0 res which is much better than trying to balance around cap i really like that

brittle atlas
#

Arena’s only real reward is the leaderboard

pastel garnet
#

no actual reward?

brittle atlas
#

The xp is slightly better than monos at lower levels, but the loot is trash

woeful parcel
#

Hardly

brittle atlas
#

And empowered monos will match or beat the xp

woeful parcel
#

It's a testing ground for builds in my mind

brittle atlas
#

The game is definitely balanced around capped res tho, you’re just not punished that heavily for being uncapped

#

Like having 0% resist in PoE means you’re taking 4x more damage versus 75% res, while in LE in 0% resist is only taking 1.75x damage versus 75%

pastel garnet
#

well yes but losing 25 res in games like grim dawn or POE means you take double damage

#

precisely

woeful parcel
#

Exactly

brittle atlas
#

Yeah

pastel garnet
#

one more question - what does "Rare" denote in the LE item site

#

i've killed the emperor of bones over 20 times and didnt get his relic

brittle atlas
#

For item rarity? It’s not an exact thing just general brackets iirc

#

But emperor relic is I believe a 10% drop chance

pastel garnet
#

dang

#

gonna be a while then

#

and also - endurance threshold

#

isnt this strictly worse than flat health added

#

i mean if u are endurance capped +100 health is 112 health times any multiplicative health modifiers you might have

#

100 endurance is 160hp

#

no worse its 60hp

woeful parcel
frosty mirage
#

Right now, going high HP with leech is the way to go.

ET is in a tough position right now since it serves as the sliding scale for such a powerful defense layer with Endurance. So you would obviously want significant investment to help offset that. However right now it’s just not enough to make it worthwhile in my opinion

brittle atlas
#

hp is always better than threshold unless you have less than like...32% inc hp

#

which should never the case

#

outside of a few very specific setups

#

like death seal lich favors threshold up to 35% of their max hp

#

and damage taken to mana mages

pastel garnet
#

i mean your endurance threshold already scales on your max hp

frosty mirage
#

I’m trying to think of a few of those, outside of Lich

#

To an extent. I’m talking high ET builds that are designed to activate Endurance at much higher health (I.e. 80%)

woeful parcel
#

That would be my understanding as well yeah

frosty mirage
#

Like could you imagine a rogue with high dodge (or go GB), with endurance kicking in at 1800/2500 health and leech?

pastel garnet
#

well... honestly rogue feels like the worst class from all i've played its the only one i cant run empowered monoliths without shitting my pants

#

there is like 0 resistance support in its passive and 0 hp on his idols and DW is 15% less hp...

#

its a glass cannon that has to do melee and doesnt really outdamage other classes

#

its like POE melee 😮

austere ember
#

Their EHP is actually pretty high (the highest with the right setup), but they're definitely more gear dependant

brittle atlas
#

yeah, rogue has the highest potential ehp of any class in the game atm

frosty mirage
#

They definitely shift the resistance support towards their main defensive mechanics (dodge/GB) with shrouds like dusk shrouds. I’m still leveling my BD but with leech they feel really good

brittle atlas
#

rogue has access to a lot of unique damage reductions that stack

frosty mirage
#

MM is just plain fun and I absolutely love that mastery

#

Plus Decoy, even after the nerf, is such a great defensive tool with offensive punch
