[amber notch]

Does Aergon's refuge work if you cast a fire spell that's converted to cold?

[balmy current]

No, then it's a cold spell, not a fire spell

[amber notch]

Thought so... thanks

[coarse plover]

Are there any builds that you wouldn't want to include your classes movement skill in?

[brave ibex]

Primalist's commonly ignore Fury Leap as it's quite slow

[steel phoenix]

!multiplayer

[ripe brook]

Multiplayer's still in development. Here's the latest news: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/official-last-epoch-multiplayer-faq/42036.

[brittle atlas]

lich can ignore transplant in favor of reap, primalists typically ignore fury leap. sentinel and mage both have two choices

shift is hardly a movement skill, but it does give some great buffs so takes a slot anyways

[deep rover]

hey is there button for controller to disable lootfilter, like X does on keyboard?

[vital steeple]

is chain lightning allowing lightning blast to chain even if not directly casted, or is it only a bonus for arcing power? wondering cause they are on opposite sides of the three

[brittle atlas]

Yes, it chains regardless

[coarse plover]

I've only played primalist acolyte and rogue but shift had always seemed amazing to me and useful even without the buffs

so idk what sentinel and mage get then

damn

[brittle atlas]

lunge is insane for getting around

teleport is insane

shift is like super short distance

[coarse plover]

I'm playing the wrong classes then

and I like fury leap just for big dunk damage, fun to do

[proven jewel]

can i play old characters on the new patch when its out?

[trim heath]

Yes

[proven jewel]

thanks

[dim canopy]

Are the skill trees for Umbral Blades, Sunder Upheaval, Werebear Form, etc. available somewhere or will we only find out what they look like in game when the patch releases? I mean complete skill trees, rather than just teasers.

[amber notch]

only on release

[hearty steppe]

Why would i prioritize the + % Melee cold Damage increase from Wings Of Argentus
over
the + % Cold Damage increase(not melee) from catalysts or other sources in a cold damage Spellblade build?

[static glacier]

you only take the more specific affixe if it has higher numerical values

thats the case for many stats but not for all (e.g. %spelldamage and %fire/cold/light roll the same numerical values but higher per tier then generic % elemeantal damage)

[hard wedge]

How is it handled in LE if things happen like in this patch: 1.(crafting) items get replaced: are the ones a char of an account possesses transformed? Do they get deleted? If the latter, is there any compensation?
2. Skills get removed/replaced? Is it just like respeccing them?

[dark fox]

Current glyphs are converted into glyphs of hope and chaos, and reworked skills usually have their trees reset, refunding all points

[hard wedge]

Nice! Thanks for your reply.

[analog copper]

Hey all I really like the shattering effect in Path of exile I was wondering if there was anyything as satisfying as that in LE that is viable tgo start with as a new player

[split helm]

Any tips on farming T20 items? Currently I'm lv100 and pushing 400 corruption, but half of my rare items are still T10-T15 and have garbage mods for my build on them (so my dps is way lower than it probably should be, as I've opted for defenses over dmg to prevent one-shots). In all that time, I've only found maybe 1-2 items that have enough existing mods on them for me to craft the rest without fracturing. I feel like I'm doing something wrong!

[amber notch]

Get a better loot filter

[dense remnant]

Id make a guess that you're loot filter is filtering out good crafting bases

and instead you're just playing to pick up rare items, and then also not taking advantage of crafting?

Basically farming t20 items isnt a thing, you farm crafting bases

then you get so many that the rng in the crafting system is effectively removed, becuase you work on so many pieces

Also at 400 corruption you should be starting to go for t21 stuff as well

I'd recommend looking through the patch notes and/or the crafting changes blog post, and just think through how the different things in the crafting system can be used to get the items you ideally want, and then from that think about what items that drop could be most useful/efficient for you

[solar juniper]

When should you start using the loot filter?

I am still a noob and dont really know where i am going, so i wait till max level?

usually i just ignore anything blue, but i read that blues can be better than yellows 😅

[dense remnant]

it changes with this patch

you start using a loot filter when it feels right to honestly

theres no specific point imo

[solar juniper]

hmm i get you

ty

[dense remnant]

Like: You use loot filters to reduce the amount of items that show up, so you can increase the efficiency of your gameplay

the right time to use it, is when you feel its worthwhile to increase the efficiency of your gameplay

And thats dependant on a whole lot

[solar juniper]

yeah i just found the guide on the forums

i am amazed how complex it is

[dense remnant]

i personally dont use a loot filter for the first 20~ levels anymore, cus i can just look at the item names and know what ill want, as not much loot drops

[solar juniper]

i started to find it annoying, once i passed the water temple boss

too much stuff dropping

[analog copper]

Is there any way to get the contracts to stop vanishing when i accept them keep trying to grab them and they just vanish it's 8:01 ffs lol

[dense remnant]

the contracts?

[analog copper]

Thats my bad i posted it to the wrog discord play Farming sim atm lol

[solar juniper]

Also does anyone else have problems with high CPU temps? I heard that activating Vsync/capping frames helps and now i dont get to 100C anymore... yay

is there any other smart workaround?

[random dock]

lowering settings is the other

[green tendon]

It's a GPU intensive game though, so you're gonna see high usage.

[hearty steppe]

how much stun avoidance should i aim for?
due to eternity cache i changed my opinion about the "Strong Mind " amulet
(which has a higher chance to have more legendary potential)

[solar juniper]

but my GPU is fine, i prolly fucked up the repaste on the CPU :/

[hearty steppe]

it doubles my max mana as stun avoidance but i dont know if 500-600 stun abvoidance is worth it tho in general

[solar juniper]

gonna try settings again, but from what i noticed it didnt really seem to affect it much

[dense remnant]

stun avoidance is probably still useless

but might be worth trying out if you get the right legendaries, but like, really doubt you should aim for it

health increases stun avoidance, so just get health

[frank dawn]

i play this game on two different computers - is it possible to sync up loot filters?

[dense remnant]

export the loot filters you want to share, paste them into a discord server you make for it

easiest way

or just put them on google drive

loot filters are tiny so not hard to have them somewhere online easily accesible

[static glacier]

chars are tiny too i wouldnt trust a cloud when dealing with 2 computers - in the end the wrong files overwrite themself -.-

[dense remnant]

yeah

[acoustic thicket]

Sounds like a hardware issue

[hard wedge]

Sounds like both have Internet connection so why not send them via network file transfer.

As Avarice Claire stated, you can export them

I'd just go for a flash drive tbh.

[frank dawn]

would be nice if they had a sync function for it, though .. just a bit of a hassle

[dense remnant]

the games not online

would be a lot of hassle atm xD

[fierce kraken]

Anyone know where the key binds are saved? I need to copy that file over.

[raw coyote]

Where do I DL the stand alone client from?

[hearty steppe]

how much better are "melee elemental damage" bonuses compared to "elemental damage" bonuses when both are like 60%
i always see build that heavily focus the melee aspect even tho its should both do the same thing, increase %

[balmy current]

They aren't. 60% melee elemental is the same as 60% elemental & 60% melee

[vagrant coyote]

Last Epoch game Launcher do not update the game

[fiery heron]

steam works fine

increased damage with a conditional is literally just worse in a few cases, otherwise equal

[hearty steppe]

i'm confused. Why then use melee elemetal damage at all? from what i've see the elemental damage in general is more applicable and melee elemental damage just increases you melee elemental you get from weapons(unless its on armor or something).
For example i get like flat 150 melee cold from both weapons i've equipped. 150 flatmelee cold is quite high. Would the increase from +80% melee cold damage be greater than the total amount of damage than just +80% cold damage ? *

[fiery heron]

the numbers generally go a bit higher for balance reasons

[brave ibex]

Generally affixes that are more specific will have higher possible values. e.g. elemental damage % at T5 will have a lower value than cold damage % at T5

[fiery heron]

are you talking about increased damage or flat damage now? You seem to have left out the % symbol

[balmy current]

As long as it still gets applied to your skill, it's usually better to be more specific than less

[fiery heron]

only if the values are higher?

why else would u wanna do that

[balmy current]

Yes, they do the same thing but the more specific affix has higher values

[dusky kite]

Yes, that's the reason why. In most cases, the specific values are higher than generic.

[balmy current]

all you want is bigger numbers

[dense remnant]

and if its exactly the same, its just more chances to get what you want

theres no downside here

:p

[fiery heron]

@balmy current are you trying to tell me that higher number is better, because I already knew that

[balmy current]

Yes, that's all there is to it

as long as the more specific affix still applies to the skill you want to use

[fiery heron]

also I literally said it to the other guy just 1 minute ago

[balmy current]

then I misread what you posted.

[fiery heron]

np

[hearty steppe]

edited my question to make it more clear

[balmy current]

No it wouldn't as I said before, +60% elemental melee = +60% melee = +60% elemental

As long as you're doing melee elemental damage

[fiery heron]

very often they're exactly the same thing

[balmy current]

As long as you're doing melee elemental damage, they are exactly the same thing.

[fiery heron]

@hearty steppe you seem to be comparing flat damage to increased damage. To be clear, first you sum up your flat damage (1+2+3=6) and then you sum up your increased damage (10%+10%+10%=30%) and then you multiply (6*1.3= ~ 8)

[dusky kite]

Any two given items being similar doesn't mean that the same is true in general. The value ranges for specific affixes are usually better even if there is overlap.

[fiery heron]

yes yes, but we're trying to help a new player here I imagine

I halfway don't even know what he's asking so I'm just stating basics in an attempt to be helpful

[hearty steppe]

so first the flat is added and only after will the % be added like (60% melee cold + 60% cold+ 40% elemental ...) right? Sry if i dont quite get it , kinda hard to grasph

[balmy current]

Yes

It's how most games like this work

[fiery heron]

It's a good idea to go with a very basic example and decide how you'd want it all to make sense yourself if you were to make the game. There's really only so many ways it makes sense

LOL i don't like the way this new druid in looking at me

get the feeling I'm bout to roleplay a psychokiller

[hearty steppe]

i thought it was the same thing with crit. Since "% melee critical strike chance" is the base and then the "critical strike chance" is being multipled based on the melee critical strike chance. Melee crit chacne was in that case more important bc its the base of the multiplication. wanted to know if that was the same case for melee cold damage

[dusky kite]

so basically what you do in most games anyways

[fiery heron]

SeemsGood

[balmy current]

But one of those says added, the other says increased.

[fiery heron]

In these games you generally wanna attach a lot of meaning to those small words like increased/more/added

Unless you play D3, then you do the exact opposite of that

[obtuse flicker]

Anyone using Geforce now? if so how do i paste a filter there?

[acoustic thicket]

Hi i just bought game and cant log in i created acc on website and it says no licence found, any help?

[raw fern]

Restart steam, It worked in the past

[acoustic thicket]

thanks will try it

[acoustic thicket]

it works thank you

[lethal osprey]

Hello guys. Is there any way to adjust character light source? I remember it was implemented in early game build.

[pearl plank]

so what weapons do people use for throwing damage builds?

because melee damage doesnt count towards throwing right?

[balmy current]

correct

you can use any weapon that has useful implicits, like daggers with their flat crit if you're going for a hit build

[pearl plank]

[brave ibex]

There aren't any throwing affixes for a dagger, just go crit or increased dmg%

[balmy current]

you want to use % damage that matches what your throwing skill does

and chill on hit

[pearl plank]

im doing flat phys throwing

[brave ibex]

You can get flat throwing phys on rings

[pearl plank]

and weapons just crit multi, crit and flat phys?

[balmy current]

so you want % phys & % crit chance

[pearl plank]

hmm okay

[brave ibex]

This is what I'm using rn for example (low level)

You get your flat elsewhere for throwing

[pearl plank]

seems so weird theres no weapons that have throwing as an implicit

like a chakram or something

[balmy current]

'cause you're not throwing your weapons

It's magic stuff

[pearl plank]

i guess

[balmy current]

I don't agree either, but that's what the devs said

[pearl plank]

every weapon just has a dead implicit for throwing builds

kinda weird

[balmy current]

That's not true

Daggers & some axes have flat crit

daggers can have poison

[pearl plank]

no i mean one of the implicits is dead

[balmy current]

the attack speed implicit, yes

[pearl plank]

since all melee weapons have melee phys

[balmy current]

that too

[pearl plank]

also only like 5 uniques even have anything to do with throwing

[brave ibex]

They're balanced around that fact though

[pearl plank]

i guess better would just be convert umbral blades to cold in the specialization then youve got tons more scaling

[balmy current]

But poison kills everything, even the dummy

cold won't kill the dummy

[pearl plank]

mmm not a big fan of dots

but will give it a try ig

[balmy current]

I was getting up to around 1.2-1.5m poison DoT per tick

on the dummy

[weak phoenix]

hmm new spriggan: druid or shaman?

[sharp grotto]

new spriggan has some interesting twists
Natural response would be to go druid i'd think?
Although you can get double spriggans with spriggan form and it's only 5 points into the druid tree

[balmy current]

Shaman makes for a decent Spriggan Form caster

[astral owl]

How do you guys keep up with gear during lvling? I feel like I'm struggling really hard around lvl 15. Leveling sentinel to be lightning javazon oriented. Using hammer throw and rive. Feels like I lack dmg and survi

[sharp grotto]

using throwing attacks is a bit of a different take

you need to scale throwing damage

which you can find on rings, amulet, gloves, shield and relic

also on helm you have a rare shard affix for lightning damage for javelin

but guessing you're new, you might to have access to all these yet
See what you have in your affix stash and craft that

Resists are important to get, atm you want some void res and phys
Health is nice
Armour is nice

You'll get a better grasp on mechanics as you progress, but if needs be don't spook yourself out of checking out help on video websites

[astral owl]

Do you craft during lvling process or you just gather till you get to endgame?

[balmy current]

during

But if you have an OP build you don't need to.

[fiery heron]

I dont get it, my Upheaval Totem is not doing jack shit for damage

[thin canopy]

i was looking for ward for the update . but guess i might need to run a checkfiles or something , the game has start-up trouble and even crashes

@sharp grotto if you use swords , there are affixes for sword damage boost on armor and idols

[pure plover]

Little question. Toxic reach + great vine. I can trigger vine only every 3 casts, but toxic reach has 2s CD. Does it mean I can trigger a vine every 6 s at best, or do I get a vine up to every 2s as long as I get the trigger trice during this time?

[static glacier]

you want one weapon type 😉

[sharp grotto]

oh like generic increases to damage while using a sword?

[static glacier]

check your nodes ^^

[sharp grotto]

sounds like indirect has an independent trigger counter

worth trying

[thin canopy]

@sharp grotto yeah . just type sword in the search bar of the forge and see if you picked up any such

[sharp grotto]

wait do you mean adaptive spell damage?

or are they new affixes

wait nvm i was looking on swords lol mb

[thin canopy]

hmm been a while since i used it . migth be the last 2 patches changed something . havent played in a while . it used to be +flat damage if using swords

[sharp grotto]

for sentinel yeah it does have those

also for maces

[thin canopy]

its for body armor if i remember correctly

[sharp grotto]

iirc it's on chest and helmet yeah

[thin canopy]

so throwing with "swords" 2xrings amulet relic swords. idols

riverbend gauntlet

[sharp grotto]

wouldn't that scale flat damage for melee only?

it's "melee physical damage if wielding x type"

sadge

[arctic mirage]

Hellos guys. I just bought d game while ago by steam. I got issues with linking my account. I register to the game by steam on start screen. :/ Maybe someone got similar problem?

[sharp grotto]

but sentinel already has plenty of ways to scale throwing so it's not a big loss

[twilit monolith]

anyone else just NOT getting any dungeon keys

[knotty hinge]

I'm getting the majority of mine from quest echo bosses

[balmy current]

They're random drops

[compact canyon]

So upheaval says it only costs 6 mana, but when I use Maul and trigger upheaval in werebear form, it definitely takes more than 6 mana. More like 12+. Am I misunderstanding something?

[pure plover]

Can you get legendary potential on uniques from quest reward (like avarice)?

[frosty mirage]

Nope

[pure plover]

😦

[fervent fossil]

Wasn't upheaval supposed to replace ice thorns?

[last current]

Is there a way to clear all bindings for a controller? I somehow ended up with three abilities all being cast by the same button

[pure plover]

How much res have the enemies, more or less? How much resistance shred should I aim for?

[frosty mirage]

They decided not to since it was not a ranged spell replacement

They do plan on replacing it though, it’s in the patch notes

[leaden night]

How do you think this node works with bladestorm (umbral blade node to make them to spin) ?

bleed on every hit of the spinning blade (2 hits per second) or just the first hit

[snow spruce]

They have none, generally. If they have any, it will show up as a modifier.

[pure plover]

even bosses?

[stone maple]

question regarding sanctum boss... what to do when he casts this massive purple aoe spell?

my void res is 75% but he almost one shots me (4k ward)... should I raise my void res? does he have void penetration?

[dense remnant]

press your time travel button

[pure plover]

If I use this node, does increased dodge rating has any effect, or only the base dodge rating is converted, and I have to get % armor instead?

[spark meteor]

some one know why have this room, I don't know what it can be used for

[acoustic thicket]

I cant find the dungeon portal/entrance am I missing something?

[urban horizon]

Ruined era - ruined coast

There is bridge right next to the waypoint

[acoustic thicket]

thank you got it

[tired narwhal]

anyone know whats the problem i copied raw paste data for a lootfilter and ingame paste clipboard contents wont work

[split helm]

How do I get rid of the "You must complete a few more steps before you can talk" popup on discord? This pops up every time I try to type a message in this discord, and this is the only discord server I get this on. I have completed the steps countless times, and still get it both on my PC and phone.

[karmic chasm]

Does anybody remember how to unlock the Gates of Solarum waypoint? Ive been here before but for some reason the waypoint is now locked and I can't figure out how to get back here to continue on with my main quest

[tardy moth]

Are set items capable of obtaining legendary potential?

[knotty hinge]

no

[tardy moth]

Does global cooldown recovery speed affect item procs?

[marble geyser]

Ah, if you didn't get the waypoint you'll need to do the Immortal Citadel fight again.

[untold holly]

Has anyone else gotten stuck on a white screen after logging into character after update? Can't seem to fix it.

[knotty hinge]

Yes, devs are aware of the issue and are working on a fix.

[untold holly]

cool thanks

[azure lion]

can i get 30+ fps with gtx760 and 4790 on lowest settings? anyone running a similar or worse rig?

[hazy grotto]

is it me or we cant zoom out as much as before?

[sharp grotto]

it's you

[sharp grotto]

yeah

[azure lion]

thanks

[astral owl]

What specialization would you guys recommend for pure lightning javeliner? I'm thinking paladin or forge guard, first time playing, first time playing a game without a guide 😄

[timber agate]

Paladin is the one with lightning damage in its passive

one of the blessing from Reign of Dragons timeline

[brave ibex]

It's one of the endgame systems. You don't really need to worry about crit avoidance during campaign, better to focus on resistances and health

[brave ibex]

Well most of the Act 9 mobs are phys/poison, so the extra res there would help. But Act 9 mobs are generally tougher than the rest of the game

[astral ridge]

is anyone else having issues with the screen turning black on area transition?

[acoustic thicket]

Quick 2 questions, 1) how many modifiers must one go through in the new dungeon before completing it? Do all tiers have to be completed with 1 key for us to reach the cache? And 2) does the new rune which converts items into uniques have a chance at including legendary potential? If so does that chance increase with rarity? So exalted has more chance than a rare?

[dim canopy]

How exactly does adaptive spell damage work with spells that have more than one damage type tag? Is the damage type split evenly? Is my assumption that adaptive spell damage listens to the damage type tags of the spell correct at all?

[static glacier]

Its split evenly

Same ratio then the base damage of the skill

[dense remnant]

@lapis geyser the phys res is fine for chapter 9, cus its higher than area level, poison applies poison shred which reduces poison res so you could get that up a bit, but honestly dont need it. Endurance could be higher, and you have no crit avoid, but don't really need it for chapter 9. You probably want a bit more health, but the main thing is to just not get hit much. Kill things quicker, dodge attacks

Most of the damage from chapter 9 mobs thats spooky is from avoidable damage

[outer forge]

anyone noticed that when screen sharing while in a discord call and in the passive screen. the other person hear you as robotic. but out of the passive screen its fine. might be a me issue. but odd since its not a network related thing

[balmy current]

It'll snapshot

[candid edge]

hi all, one quick question, did 0.8.4 just wiped all my previous char/stash tab? been playing on steam before, now i'm trying standalone client and my char is all gone. SHould i install LE again on steam for it to sync all my prev info back?
thank you all in advance!

[dim canopy]

Why are there enemy attacks that can be dodged but don't trigger "when hit" effects? I thought only hits can be dodged.

[sonic kraken]

Would it be better to start a brand new character instead of continuing my old one after the update? Last time I played was in August so I imagine that quite a lot changed and it might feel weird to be kind of dropped in the middle of the game

[wary crown]

do you guys know how to link the steam account to the last epouch one?

[raw fern]

https://support.lastepoch.com/hc/en-us/articles/1260805145970-Steam-Account-Linking

[languid dirge]

How can i fins the new dungeon?

Do i have to clear all monoliths to see it?

[wary crown]

the button is is missing

[balmy current]

Don't try & facetank the telegraphed hits. And more HP.

and leech

[timber agate]

orobyss?

[tawny rain]

Is it ok if i respec later in game if i mess up a build?

or it's better start a build from the start of the game?

[dense remnant]

You need to not get hit by stuff as much and learn mechanics

[brave ibex]

You just need to kill the effigy quickly

Well, you don't need to kill Shade of Orobyss to progress, it's more of a side boss

Yup

Killing him is for the purpose of adding corruption which makes the monolith harder/more rewarding (as well as resetting all the nodes)

[timber agate]

the timeline's boss

you are going to fight him if this is your first timeline

[median ermine]

Hey just wondered, do i have a 100% chance to ignite on hit with a melee skill yes or?

[brave ibex]

Yeah, specific stats like "on melee hit" aren't shown in char sheet

[median ermine]

ok thanks

[tawny rain]

any tips on this?

[brave ibex]

Respec is easy, so yeah. Passives cost a small amount of gold, skills need to be relevelled (but at an accelerated rate, so it's pretty quick)

[frosty mirage]

Yes

[stone maple]

can a rune of ascendence create a unique with Legendary Potential?

cool

ty!

[frosty mirage]

Np

Sorry, phone autocorrect lol

[tawny rain]

ok Thanks

[hushed pelican]

what's the fastest way to get a dungeon key ? just doing monoliths ?

[brave ibex]

Yeah, they drop pretty commonly

[hushed pelican]

ok like i thought, thanks

[solar juniper]

what does damage bonus taken from crits mean on weapon?

do i take more dmg on crit or the enemy

[balmy current]

You take less damage from their crits.

[frosty mirage]

I’ve gone about 6 hours of empowered and only had one drop so far, I must not have sacrificed enough to RNGesus 😂😭😂

[brave ibex]

Ah I must have stolen your luck then 🤣

[frosty mirage]

😂 😂 😂

[timber agate]

i think timeline bosses have high chance to drop one

[frosty mirage]

I'm wondering if I need to actually do the dungeon first, I thought it was a bit weird, I've just been playing with build this umbral blades bladedance build

Not too worried about it right now, just crafting and refining the build

[brave ibex]

Liking Umbral Blades?

[frosty mirage]

Yeah, it's a lot of fun, a lot of different ways to play with it

[brave ibex]

For sure, really nice skill

[wary crown]

wait so, stash tabs cost real money?

[urban horizon]

No. You can buy stash tabs with in-game gold

[wary crown]

nice

just started playing and didn't know what that currency was

[urban horizon]

and you can buy 200 of them but the cost increases per stash you buy

[wary crown]

are there specialized stash tabs? like for specific shards/fragments or something like that like in poe?

[urban horizon]

Sadly no.

[brave ibex]

Well shards are kept in a separate area anyway, not sure why you'd want tabs for that

[wary crown]

well not sure what shards are in this game ether way

thanks guys

[wide magnet]

So I got the dungeon boss and died to the initial slam. What am I supposed to look out for?

[dense remnant]

you gotta time travel

[wide magnet]

Ahhhh

Aight thanks

[wary crown]

will there ever be a wipe?

[dense root]

i don't believe so

it is true though that you won't be able to use pre multiplayer characters in online play once multiplayer is released

you should still have access to them for offline play though

[wary crown]

ah I see

so basically we're playing solo self found rn

[hushed pelican]

yes

[undone thorn]

what is the LE-24 ㅠㅠ
clear....lol

[flint moon]

Does someone know a soundtrack that is very similar to the new main menu theme?

When the chorus kicks in, both the female and male ones, bells just keep ringing in the back of my head that I know a similar soundtrack like this one. Is the answer as simple as "probably Witcher 3" or does someone know by chance another soundtrack that indeed sounds similar?

[ember cedar]

Can someone help me? this guy don't do shit and my tracker only points to him

[amber notch]

Top side of hte room

There's another question mark you can interact with

[ember cedar]

I've gone everywhere already there's nothing

I guess this is a refund then, unfortunate

[reef phoenix]

Are the passive points on the map bugged or do we not have to finish the story to get them all anymore?

[amber notch]

They added more quests so not all of htem are mandatory anymore

[reef phoenix]

Nice

[stone juniper]

Yea, it was in the patch notes to give us more flexibility on the quests to do for passives.

[lean marten]

First playthrough, last story boss coming up. Searched for some Infos and managed to find that it would be a good idea to be res caped, cold and lightning.

So the question is, where to find gear? In preparation to the fight.

[dense remnant]

kill enemies

[hearty steppe]

how do you increase the flat crit chances on bow? i dont see any affixes for that

[amber notch]

You're probably marksman right?

[hearty steppe]

not even. having problems early as a bow rogue and jsut wanted to increase my crit rates decently but realized that there isnt much to be done about it

but after i increase my level i will go down the marksman path

[amber notch]

Marksman has a node that gives you a lot of crit

You barely have to spec any crit yourself

[spare pewter]

If you head to Bug Report forums, I can see if I can help you trouble shoot the issue here.

[maiden lichen]

Hey, bought the game today on steam and cant play cause of the "no license found" error. contacted the support, but no answer yet(probly since it saturday) Does anybody have some tips what i can do about it right now? When i log on the website with my information from the account creation ingame he just offers me to buy the game...

[knotty hinge]

Try restarting Steam and validating your game files.

[maiden lichen]

also already done that, no change sadly

[spare pewter]

Contact support. They will help sort it out.

[maiden lichen]

yeah, done that, i will wait if i have to, just hoped i could play this weekend

[spare pewter]

I am sorry about that. I believe most of the team is away currently since it's the weekend but we will try to help you as soon as we can.

[maiden lichen]

well, just started the game again, since i wanted to follow up on potential tips, seems like it works now, just dunno why. thx anyways 🙂

[spare pewter]

I believe sometimes there might be a slight downtime when activating a key. I don't know more than that. I am glad it started working. Enjoy!

[sonic kraken]

Can I find some premade filters somewhere? I don't want to spend ages customizing it lol

[raw fern]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/0-8-4-heavyz-casual-loot-filters-for-all-classes-v2-5/25176

It's a good starting point

[amber notch]

Yeah

You can unlock them later

[leaden night]

guys, does Frostbite DoT scale with minion damage if frostbite is applied by minion ?

[sonic kraken]

How much does the acid flask reduce the armor by?

[brave ibex]

It applies 1 stack, so 100

[untold holly]

Does anyone know a ballpark for when the hot fix for the update glitches may be?

[fierce kraken]

Yes. Minion DMG is like inc DMG but for your minion.

[fierce kraken]

Most people are off for the weekend soy personal guess is Tues or Wednesday for first hotfix.

[stone granite]

Hot fix for what glitches? Maybe look in the official forums where all news and bug reports are

[untold holly]

There’s a white screen some people are getting that makes the game unplayable

[vagrant coyote]

hi. whats the max number of minion u can have with necro?

[snow spruce]

There's not a hard cap if that's what you're asking

[modern pollen]

Got a crazy good 2h fire damage exalted on my main character, which class can do a good 2h fire damage build ?

[brave ibex]

Paladin/Forge Guard

[modern pollen]

Ok ! Thanks !

[static matrix]

U can't swap subclasses right?

[snow spruce]

That's correct

[kind spade]

hello

can you craft unique items?

and how?

[dense root]

you can upgrade non unique items into unique items using a rune of ascendance which will randomly select a unique from the drop pool for the type of item you use the rune on

you can also upgrade certain unique items into legendary items using the eternity cache

to the best of my knowledge no other form of crafting is possible involving unique items

[kind spade]

alrite, that s great!

is monolith a good method to farm uniques?

[dense root]

i think so

there are unique echoes after all

[kind spade]

grat

great

how i get exalted items?

what color are they?

[snow spruce]

They're purple, and they drop at random/are rewards from monolith activities

[kind spade]

ohhh i think i got one

[pure plover]

Is "Freeze Rate Per Stack of Chill" the same than freeze rate multiplier, or is it another multiplier to freeze chance?

[kind spade]

how do i know an item is a set item?

[dark fox]

It's got a green background.

[kind spade]

alrite

[daring aurora]

hey, i want to farm the new Scurry helmet, which requires level 70. that means i cant find it in the normal Black Sun timeline, right? since that has level 66

[knotty hinge]

Correct.

[balmy current]

You can if you increase the corruption a bit as that increases the level

[strange blaze]

where do I find save files for characters and stuff to transfer them to a new computer?

[daring aurora]

oooh nice, thanks, that will help a lot

[kind spade]

whats the best class for monolith farm?

i got a bladedancer

but really difficult to play

combo mechanics

i think imma start a swordmage

really like the idea

[vast moat]

which spear should i merge this with? 😄

[kind spade]

a high dmg one ofc

[daring aurora]

uniques drop up to 1 level higher then area level, right? does that include the area rewards, or only drops from monsters?

[kind spade]

no idea

probably yes

the game is totally different from Path of Exile

[hexed lantern]

is there a way to search your stash for legendary potential?

[lofty widget]

how many blessing options you will receive per monolith completion? why I only have 3 open and 2 locked below it

[frosty mirage]

Controlled by corruption, 4th unlocks at 50 corruption, 5th option unlocks at 200 corruption

[lofty widget]

ahh I see thanks

[stark charm]

Are you guys running higher level monoliths than your character or lower? Checking my noobishness level 😂

[knotty hinge]

area level is typically higher

[dense root]

i've basically always been underleveled relative to the area during monoliths

[stark charm]

Fuu... That's bad news for me

I am higher level and have kind of hard time. I can kill anything but lot of things can one shot me

[snow spruce]

if you go to lastepochtools.com and upload your character/build we can maybe give some pointers on how to improve

[ocean onyx]

do you need a special rune to add a mod to a unique with a legendary slot?

[dense root]

no you use the eternity cache

[ocean onyx]

oh how do i get that?

[dense root]

you can use it once for every time you beat the boss of the new dungeon (which you need a key that drops from rare mobs to enter)

[frosty mirage]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/legendary-items-and-eternity-cache/45738

[stark charm]

That would be cool, thanks 🙂

[ocean onyx]

ahhh ty

[stark charm]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/9QnP29o0 dont roast me much 😄

[worldly stone]

If you are a build with well over 60 attunement and building a support based "Summon Spriggan" how tanky is it late game? how much investment into extra health and such will it need to survive?

If anyone has any experience this, just throw me an @ or a direct reply so I can get a notification for it. Thanks a bunch!

[iron depot]

Enough armor?

[dense root]

idk it's only 6 digits do you think we could get it a bit higher

[iron depot]

i supposed i could if i can get some more cast speed

[snow spruce]

I'd say that your defenses are woefully lacking. You probably should get more Health/Endurance/Endurance Threshold. Likely you'll want to eventually get Critical Strike Avoidance as well

[vast charm]

[stark charm]

Yea I'm glass canon 😂 I just cant resist that spell dmg... But thank you for taking a look I'll keep your advice in mind

[lofty widget]

what is the right way to process monolith? you guys rush to boss or farm corruption?

[urban horizon]

I rush bosses until I unlock empowered and then I farm corruption

[lilac raft]

is there a way to bind the era-shift ability to a button on my controller

or do I have to do some steam input shenanigans to do that

[kindred sable]

If you have an ability (or idol) that triggers an ability of your class (like swarmblade maelstrom on dive), what benefits apply to the triggered spell? Does any skill specialization? Just your passive increases to damage that apply to that skill?

[pallid crag]

if it triggers a skill that you can specialize then it will use its specialization

[kindred sable]

awesome, thanks

[lavish dew]

I'm running support spriggan on my shaman (ignore the awful gear) https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/rBrng6Bp Its decently tanky and barely dies in echoes but consistently dies against bosses. The issue is using pet target to move it out of big oneshot boss skills is hard since it is ranged and usually doesn't move. Just make sure to put healing totems right next to it so they are constantly healing it. I'm planning to get revive speed too just to be a bit better against bosses.

[digital cloud]

is there any way to increase size of item nameplates on the ground

[coarse plover]

what is an appropriate all resists % average around say level 40-50? is it 75 across the board?

what is a good way to keep your resists up without sacrificing too much damage? just upgrade and hope for the best?

so far I've found I usually have at least 2 types that tank pretty bad, ending up around 20

[static glacier]

Every missing 1% of resits means 1% more damage taken at 75+

Thats not the end of the World

Typically you want to max resist but not at every cost. Wastimg an affixe slot on a resist you allready have 65% is typicaly not worth it e.g.

[lethal crane]

Hey guys, can i somehow get my deleted character back?

[static glacier]

Save games are local

If you deleted them and have steamcloud off you can only looking in recycling bin 😄

[lethal crane]

oh thats quite nice

then, where is the folder?

or how its called

[static glacier]

C:\Users\USER_NAME\AppData\LocalLow\Eleventh Hour Games\Last Epoch\Saves

[lethal crane]

thanks dude!

[heavy yacht]

why are my skills not gaining any xp? they are stuck on 16

[static glacier]

Your char level is too low

Skills are kind of hardcapped to char level @heavy yacht

[heavy yacht]

ahh! where can i read about this relationship, @static glacier ? (thank you)

[static glacier]

I know two by hearth... 19 =69 and 20 =75

[heavy yacht]

ok, thanks. relieved i'm not dropping XP on the floor at least

[static glacier]

Rest is not really important cause you gain levels so fast below that point

Just go on with your char

[heavy yacht]

when did they add the content post-lagon? been a long time since i last played. pretty cool 😄

[static glacier]

8.3

[pearl plank]

when using glyph of chaos what can chance to stun on melee attacks turn into?

[static glacier]

In any suffixe you could normaly craft in that weapon

Obviously not in the second suffixe thats maybe allready on it

[muted shale]

Does a 'recolor' above a 'hide' rule overrides it?

[pearl plank]

ahh okay

[static glacier]

Yep

[pearl plank]

i thought it had to turn into something similar, in the example they say cold into fire res so i thought it was all like that

[static glacier]

Nah its just suffixe to suffixe or affixe to affixe

Its quite cool if there arent many

Getting affixe mainstat in chest eg is really easy

Not so much options there 👀

[analog copper]

Hi all how do i go about getting the stun chance off this and replace it with sunder armour (I have the material for the craft) this if for @marsh maple Forge guard build

im new and don't really know what i am doing with crafting

[static glacier]

Use a chaos on the affixe you want to get rid off

Could also try removal but thats the worse way usually

[dim canopy]

is there a +x to level of swarmblade form affix?

[static glacier]

New skills still miss affixes

Guess monday 8.4.1 will hopefully add them

[muted shale]

is the Architect's boss room REALLY laggy or is it just my rig?

[pearl plank]

so, having Bringer of storms node in werebear tree converts all bleed and armor shred into shock chance, is this just for the werebear tree or for everywhere?

[acoustic thicket]

can somone help me with filter i set it like this and it doesnt work

[acoustic thicket]

nvm i imported filter

[static glacier]

Only for the bear

[summer summit]

hey im new and doing monolith atm und did the boss which gives corruption...now the mobs are way too strong for me and i wonder if there is a way to lower the corruption and how do i do that

[static glacier]

Do an early shade

Those give negative corruption

[daring aurora]

for legendary items, does the weapon type have to match? or just 1H/2H

[static glacier]

A staff wont work with a 2h sword 😱

[sonic kraken]

is it better to stack spell damage or elemental damage for cinder strike?

[static glacier]

Cinderstrike has a spell Tag?

[sonic kraken]

No but the tooltip shown higher dps when I equipped a spell ring

Oh nvm it has physical tag

The ring also has physical bonus which I didn't notice at first

[static glacier]

Its an attack so spelldamage should do nothing

[sonic kraken]

Yeah nevermind about that. I'll re-iterate my question: Is it better to stack elemental or physical damage for cinder strike?

Also where I can find information about indirectly listed skills like volatile flask?

[balmy pulsar]

May sound like a noob question not played in a while is ward effected by your resistances?

For instance if you have more resistances ward takes less damage for a low life build I'm working on

[brave ibex]

Ward benefits from resistances, block and armour, but not endurance

[sonic kraken]

If I understand the in-game guide correctly armor block 70% of elemental damage. So adding armor shred to my cinder strike build makes sense right?

[sleek path]

where do we get runes of ascendance from? i used mine because i didnt know what they did and it was a mistake

[knotty hinge]

random drop

[sleek path]

nooooo

[static glacier]

Armor Blocks hits

[knotty hinge]

pretty rare

[static glacier]

Its better against physical hits

Shreding Enemies armor inc. The damage they take

From hits..

Armor is 70% of physical effect for ele damage

[sonic kraken]

So it doesn't make much sense to shred armor on elemental builds?

[static glacier]

It does

It is just less good then on physical

Well obviously it only works on builds that hit

[sonic kraken]

You said that armor blocks hits but the in-game guide says that it mitigates damage from hits so i'm confused

[static glacier]

Sorry it reduces the damage you take

From hits

[finite ivy]

Anyone else crashing when enters the game? Created new char etc and when entering the game with that char, crashes.... reduced graphics and all and even old chars crash

[static glacier]

So armor shred for any build that does hits is a more damage multiplier

[sonic kraken]

Ok so... Does cinder strike do "hits" when I use it with a bow?

[static glacier]

Does it have a dot tag?

If its no dot it is a hit 😬

Everything thats no dot in this game is a hit 😄

[balmy pulsar]

Thanks for answer much appreciated

[sonic kraken]

It doesn't so I guess I should get some armor shred for it

[static glacier]

Usually armor shred is pretty strong

Hover over your own armor value to get a% idea how much shred does

Shred has the same formular just negative value

Tunklab has a graph for armor too

[low totem]

what's the point of this node if multiple thorns can't hit an enemy? It and the node lowering the arc don't seem useful.

[pearl plank]

can rune of ascendance give uniques with lp?

[lunar holly]

yep

[pearl plank]

👍

[ornate gull]

Anyone else getting this crash everytime you change maps?

[raw fern]

I had this issue, ia had to change the Virtual Memory (Pagefile)

made custom settings

problem solved

[daring aurora]

does it matter which weapon is in the first slot if you dual wield?

[rugged adder]

Can the glyph that transforms into a unique item give you set items?

[snow spruce]

Only in that certain classes can only hold certain weapons in their off-hand

[tardy trellis]

hey, any solution for erro LE-24 no license? bought game via steam and didnt work..

[pearl plank]

fastest way to farm alot of alluvions?

[raw fern]

Sometimes it solves itselfs after some time. If not then contact support

!support

[ripe brook]

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

[tardy trellis]

Thanks

[sonic kraken]

Does armor shred have a cap?

[pearl plank]

also, bug or working as intended i cant tell one of the damage multipliers in the fury leap skill tree doesnt apply to maul when you have the skull crusher node in werebear

is this intentional?

top is with the node 4/5 and bottom is 5/5, no damage change

same thing with Brutal Impact node when its 5/5, no damage change

[balmy current]

No

[vernal burrow]

A little off topic but if there was an ARPG NFT game would you play it.

To be clear there is one but its not that good from what I saw.

[static glacier]

Like armor it has no cap but the curve gets veeeery flat later

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/armor

[sonic kraken]

I don't support NFTs in any form so no

[vernal burrow]

[shut latch]

Heya. I downloaded one of the beginner filters, 0.84 so should be up to date and get filter could not be loaded

its heavy'z filter for primalist. Is there something i do wrong or is this "normal"?

[raw fern]

If i remember correctly there's a problem with importing loot filters. try to download them and then "open filter location" and just paste the file

[shut latch]

Thats what i did, the .xml.

i can "choose" it ingame and get filter cannot be loaded once

[raw fern]

Then i don't know, maybe somebody else have some tips, how to sovle this

[shut latch]

Also i cannot switch screens without the game going all crazy, menus stop working , skills work fk me....

added, deleted, added, deleted, restarted the game like 12 times and then copy pasted the raw data to finally load it with no error

....

[cedar rover]

Hey all, are all uniques gamble-able for?

[dense remnant]

no

[cedar rover]

How can I find if the one I need can?

[merry aspen]

uniques cant be gambled period.

[cedar rover]

Oh...

Dang 😄

Then what do people do with their gold? 🤔

[thick rock]

stash tabs I guess lol

[merry aspen]

gamble for good bases?

no clue honestly, ive never tried it

[waxen compass]

Are the pre patch loot filters broken

It won't let me click paste clipboard for the life of me

[astral seal]

I'm trying to figure out which Equipment slot is least used for uniques in current builds. If anybody with experience across large amounts of builds/all classes has any input ping me pls 🙂

[static glacier]

gambled stuff has very low crafting potential - guess no good plan

[merry aspen]

ah thats a shame

[frail rock]

Anybody know with Swarmblade's Locusts, scaling off my damage, do they still scale off minion ailment chance or is it mine? Doesn't really specify

[paper kettle]

where do i get the key for the dungeon?

[dense root]

any zone that’s high enough level can drop it. some people have claimed that the drops are more common from bosses but i don’t know that we’ve been able to confirm this yet

[paper kettle]

ok thx

[acoustic thicket]

Hello. I want to ask about endgame. How does it look in LE?

[dense root]

it's not complete yet but what we have is a lot of fun and there's enough content to play for a while

[balmy current]

They're minions so should scale off minion damage

[ashen hound]

Does healing effectiveness apply to leach? Couldn't find much from the wiki as to what it applies to

[static glacier]

no - leech is leech and heal is heal

only stuff that says "heal" will get influenced by healing eff.

[ashen hound]

Fair enough, thank you

[static glacier]

heal, leech and regen or 3 indepent systems that recover health

[stone granite]

Also doesn't apply to any other source of health gain outside of direct heals

like health gain on block, or health gain on melee hit

[dusky kite]

BTW does anybody have a problem with the "enemies flash on hit" setting? The tickbox in the settings window just does nothing, enemies flash regardless of whether it's on or off.

[viral heart]

Hi everyone, Does the conversion mean that it removes the converted stats from the crit multi pool or does it work additive

[hushed hazel]

is this a bug, and can i do osmething to tet this item? :/

[viral heart]

hold x

[hushed hazel]

doesnt change anything

[jovial shale]

sadge :c

[viral heart]

either turn ur loot filter off completely

make sure tool tip is on(press z once) and then hold x

otherwise i dont know of any other method

[hushed hazel]

threw a magic item of my inventoryo n the floor, also not able to pick it up, with or without lootfilter

oh god, it was the z thing, must've acidentally pressed z once

ty!

[viral heart]

glad it worked !

[jovial shale]

question: if i cast a spell (lets say maelstrom) and AFTER i cast it, i gain something that increases my overall damage- does the maelstrom stacks get increased damage?

[viral heart]

yes

[jovial shale]

noice

[viral heart]

if each stack gives +10% and ur running 5 stacks, ur skill will do 50% more dmg in total

[jovial shale]

im thinking of if this node would increase maelstroms damage, if the maelstroms were created in another form:

[viral heart]

lets say u have 5 mealstrom stack in human form. u then enter bear form. U will then get the effects of that node added to ur existing 5 stacks

[dense remnant]

no you wont

last epoch snapshots stuff

[jovial shale]

yea thats what i thought too >.>

[dense remnant]

if your in werebear form, summon x maelstroms, then leave it

those will have the benefits of that node while you're not in werebear form

[viral heart]

i thought it was just for minions not active skills

my bad

[dense remnant]

generally everything snapshots

[viral heart]

so what are exeptions?

[dense remnant]

no idea

im saying generally in case there isnt something xD

[viral heart]

gotcha

[dense remnant]

like the extreme end of it is even something like aura of decay snapshotting

so basically use that to form your expectations 😄

[viral heart]

would u be able to answer this?

[dense remnant]

i dont know what you mean by the second part

but yes, you lose the crit multi that gets converted

[viral heart]

thx, i thought it did.

[coarse plover]

wow I need a new outfit

[static glacier]

well if you could life with a healing effect do nothing for you it obviously worked 😛

[coarse plover]

health on hit like from hunter's restoration in primalist passives is affected by healing eff. right?

[static glacier]

does it say "heal" in the text?

[coarse plover]

restores health

[static glacier]

thats not HEAL 😛

[coarse plover]

gdi

so regen is also not effected?

[static glacier]

nope

[coarse plover]

what are some effects that fall under healing eff umbrella

potions

[static glacier]

no 😉

[coarse plover]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaa

[static glacier]

e.g.

[coarse plover]

Heal capital H

mtg rules

got it

maybe

probably not

[static glacier]

afair a potion is restore too

[viral heart]

so health on hit does not scale with effectiveness?

[balmy current]

no 'cause that's health on hit not heal on hit.

[viral heart]

lol

[static glacier]

its the same for all the decay, degen and so on stuff 😛

[viral heart]

that phrasing helps!

[coarse plover]

I really need to read the fine print

[viral heart]

there is many much a lot fine print in LE xD

[coarse plover]

I'm not buying a house here but I invested shards into HE for my leech werebear

[viral heart]

u can always repurpose the gear?

good support set for MP xD

[coarse plover]

oh yea nbd haha

just glad I found out now while leveling

[balmy current]

It won't be available for MP 'cause it's an offline character....

[static glacier]

you find healing eff. shards on every second corner 😛

[viral heart]

just cant have nice things in this world

[static glacier]

if you want to scale leech there is stuff for it

[frosty mirage]

Druid

[sick yacht]

have we discovered fractured crown with crafting changes yet?

[knotty hinge]

Not from what I've seen

[sick yacht]

I need to get a rune of ascendance to try my theory, but a 0 FP help with ascendant is my theory for fractured crown :x

[stark charm]

I've spent some time looking for legendary potential drop rates and if these numbers are correct, I believe devs should reconsider.

"1 in every 16,000,000,000,000,000,000' for a 4 legendary potential ravenous void"

Now, thats MUCH more rare then winning a lottery. So much rare in fact, that it will never happen. Quick google search revealed that rarest D2 item was 1 in 10 000 000 and that was a RARE drop. I get that ARPG should be grindy, but come on this is ridiculous. This is basically claiming that we have some feature but in reality we don't. I get that devs don't want people running in Legendary 4 gear immediately but imho it should be at least something we can strive for.

Tyraels Might, D3 paragon 20k, cosmic wings, all of that is possible why not make it somewhat achievable to get Legendary 4 gear that we want? I might sound like a whinny b*tch here but let the players actually play the game to the fullest. What I'm trying to say is, if the game has Legendary 4 potential gear, make it possible to get it. Some frustration along the way is fine, make it rare, but not infinitely rare.

If I got the numbers wrong, I'm sorry, was looking just a little while but I believe a few orders of magnitude in this case doesn't matter here.

[static glacier]

i agree they should simply say - cant drop with (more than one?) potential

but what would that change?

give some guys that cant do maths hope 😛

[fierce kraken]

If you read the entire context of that answer the devs stated that it was really just an emergent value. Consequentially i think it's fair to assume the chance of 1 LP is the quartic root of the number.

It's just applying the rules of the system they created.

[dense root]

it's worth noting that this is specifically for ravenous void, the rarest item to get with 4 lp

we've already seen a 4lp common unique

and i think it's fair that the already powerful items are close to impossible to get with the maximum lp

since the legendary system is most interesting when it's allowing lower level uniques with interesting effects to see use

[stark charm]

I get that it is not the same for every item in the game. But even if you need item that is billion times more likely to drop, it will still statistically speaking never happen

[dense root]

i mean you don't know what the numbers are for other items

it may be that 4lp on a lower rarity item is only 1 in 1000 or something

[sick yacht]

It seems like the system is more designed to prop up bad uniques than to make +4omnis the thing everyone has

[dense root]

exactly that yes

[stark charm]

it is great that they want all the items to matter but I think it comes at a cost that no item is especially good than... I like that they are trying to do things differently but sometimes if it aint broke dont fix it applies. I hope some changes to item rarity will happen in the future or we will get some system to get the top tier items in late game

[sick yacht]

you can still get the high items with 1-2 LP fairly often and they still set the ceiling. It just brings other things up to that ceiling instead of there being items that are head and shoulders above everything else

[brave ibex]

I am not sure why people keep having issues with this "impossible" Ravenous Void example. Nobody needs a 4LP Ravenous Void. A 0 LP Ravenous Void is still a top tier item, that's why getting it WITH potential is insanely rare. If you want them to make that farmable, suddenly everyone has legendary RV and itemization becomes boring

[dense root]

right the good uniques are still good and it's not impossible to get them with a smaller amount of lp which would make them even more over the top

[stone granite]

4 LP uniques absolutely need to be incredibly rare, it's OP

[dusk gate]

If I like builds that just proc a lot of stuff and have a lot of stuff happening all over the screen, what would be the best build for that?

[stark charm]

I get that but given example is not rare, is impossible. You could win lottery every day in the week and still wouldnt be as improbable as getting the ravenous void with 4 potential. To Knocks - there is difference between not needing it and not being able to get it. I am all for it being super rare, I just want it to be obtainable. Not specifically this item but any item you want/need for your character with 4 leg. power whould be imho obtainable in game. In realistic numbers. The rarest item in D2 is still 10 ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE more likely to drop. And that does mean 10x more likely, 10x more likely is just one order of magnitude.

[dense root]

right we're saying it's completely fine for it to be impossible

also technically it is obtainable so

[brave ibex]

Why should it be obtainable? A 0 LP Ravenous Void is still better than 99% of gear. That is the farmable item. A 4 LP Ravenous Void is overkill, and completely overpowered - it's merely a result of how LP was implemented. I don't think you understand the itemization in this game, nor the intentions of the Legendary system

[stark charm]

That might be true, I am not that far into endgame yet but I don't think that will change my view though. Any completionist wants to end with perfect gear and when that's not possible it is frustrating. It doesn't mean though that the game is not enjoyable for 99% of people I get that. Also, if the legendary system needs this kind of drop rate scaling in order to not give overpowered items maybe there is something to be learned from that? Either way I don't want to argue just wanted to share my thoughts. Have fun guys :)

[coarse plover]

perfect gear sounds awful to me, flashbacks of d3 ancient primals

I wouldn't wish to play a game where everyone is sporting the same or mostly similar endgame spread

big part of what I find charming about this game so far

[woeful comet]

What is the best DoT build in the game?

[coarse plover]

poison flurry marksman

actually idk but I made one and it hits hard and fast

[mortal cape]

is there a write-up somewhere of the bis affixes for each item?

[dense root]

doesn't it depend on your build?

[mortal cape]

to a degree probably, but I'm trying to find the "potion affixes are best on the belt" sort of deal

I'm trying to write up a filter for my build and I'm looking for a checklist of affixes/gear, I guess I can use the planner but that seems clunky

[dense remnant]

bis affixes depend on build

increased health and hybrid health are the (generally, not all the time) best suffixes for ehp

but you also need endurance, crit avoid, res's

and your build might need them on gear

you then also have stuff like block chance on suffix, and dodge

there is no 'bis affix list'

because that would be too many affixes that it would defeat the purpose of the list

the best thing to do is just plan our your build, then group affixes into 3 groups: best, useable, unwanted

then do your filter off those, then once your gears a lot better, you just move useable to unwanted

[coarse plover]

while we're here, at what point is crit avoid better than resists?

resists seem like the baseline for defense stats and things like crit avoid and endurance come in once you have resists and hp sorted

[midnight timber]

I generally do resists first, then crit avoid/endurance... not sure there's a point where crit avoid is better than resists, but that could be just me 🙂

a lot of it depends on your blessings as well... depending on what blessings are "needed" for your build, you can get a LOT of resists/crit avoid/endurance in blessings

[coarse plover]

I guess crit avoid could be better in a leech/regen build where you don't want to deal with too many unusual damage spikes?

[midnight timber]

once you get to empowered, you need either crit avoid or less damage taken from crits

because the spikes get big

[coarse plover]

makes sense, I'm still in the shallows

defense is not my strong suit in arpgs

I never make hardcore chars

[midnight timber]

but it's not that bad... crit avoid blessing + helm with crit avoid implicit can get you over 100 🙂

without any affixes used up

[stark kernel]

for some reason i got 4% leech without any source on items/skills/trees... is there a base leech?

[stone granite]

No, you definitely have a source

[viral heart]

What slot does +lvl to swarmblade form use

[stone granite]

It doesn't exist

[stark kernel]

ok tyvm, then a tooltip must be bugged/ not updated - ill do a full respec to find out whihc one

[mortal cape]

I'm not looking for a specific BIS List I'm looking for generalizations, if there are any, for where you want your stats to be

BIS is a bit off a misnomer I guess

But I take it there's nothing like that

[dusk gate]

I can't think of a build to play or start

[coarse plover]

something melee ignite

[sick yacht]

Lastepochtools.com go there and you can build your build or look at other people's to get a good idea of what you want

[vast moat]

how to target farm plague bearer's staff?

[dense remnant]

@mortal cape this video does a good job of explaining what you want on gear https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pKnOViD_Qds

[vast moat]

high corruption stolen lance?

not sure what exclusive echo rewards mean

[stone maple]

How rare is Rune of Creation? I just got one and don't know whether to use it on the exalted armor I want to merge with legendary item, or should I wait and use it on sth better?

I guess it's more common than a mirror in poe

[wraith tundra]

Is there something else needed to enter the temporal sanctum? I wanted to try leveling an alt, so I put a temporal key in his inventory and got to act 2/shining cove but the door before the rift portal wont open

[dense root]

you need to be at the ruined coast

you gain access as part of the sapphire tablet quest

which i think is act 4?

[wraith tundra]

thanks

[stone granite]

Act 5

[lusty mountain]

what exactly is adaptive spell damage? (specifically minion adaptive spell damage) is it just a flat bonus to spells across the board regardless of their damage type?

[dense root]

i believe it's added damage of whatever type your spell is

[coarse plover]

if a spell has multiple damage types I believe adaptive spell damage splits between all types evenly

[static matrix]

is it worth making a build out of this? Idk if it's possible to get the ward sustain needed

[snow spruce]

Its possible to get the ward sustain... But its not necessary to do so. Even, 400 ward is +40 physical damage, which is pretty big.

[subtle patrol]

Still rather new to epoch, I have hit a plateau. What are some of your ways for gearing up? I am at a point where I am unable to compare gear and know which is better. Not having luck with the new crafting either, as in sure I can craft all 4 slots to what I need but they are T3 or less. Makes it hard to give up an item with just two stats I need that are T5.

Also when I do swap out for more damage for an example I loss a big chunk of resistance making it hard to survive

[static matrix]

I was gonna do like the shatter strike double cast thing, so low attack speed + big hit

Do you think that's the play over fast smaller hits?

[broken kernel]

how kill t4 julra as marksman pls u_u

tomorrow ill try and really make sure I pick the easiest mods but holy hell

[timber agate]

i think the doors on each stage wll result in same damage and health modifier? just different kind of reward

[broken kernel]

No they are different

[amber notch]

They can be different

[broken kernel]

Its a very mechanical fight. So i will just sleep and try again

Any build tips (doesnt need to be MM) would be awesome tho

[amber notch]

Something tanky 😛

My biggest problem is touching a mechanic and dying very quickly

[spare citrus]

Are the stolen lance timeline blessings increasing the overall amount of items that drop or is just a larger percentage of what drops of the item type that you selected?

[kindred atlas]

So what is the best way to scale a Cold Conversion Umbral Blades, but still have other throwing physical skills do damage as well?

[amber notch]

Does the generic throwing damage mod still not apply?

[static matrix]

What is the best way to scale umbral blades btw?

I loved the look of the explosions on that explosion node, but idk how good it is

reminds me of transcendence mtx's in poe

[sonic kraken]

Can you get 100% glancing blow chance?

[static glacier]

yep as a rogue

[thick tusk]

how can i enter the temporal sunctum ? i cant find a way to it

[amber notch]

Shining cove > go into the portal > kill the boss and enter the entry

[proud chasm]

Rune of removal won't affect sealed affixes?

[amber notch]

I think it does

[static glacier]

seal? if you want a "5. affixe" you need despairs

removale remvoes a affixe and gives you it shards

its actually quite powerfull to make sure you get rare affixes from items with many trash affixes

if you just shatter those you can be unlucky and get the wrong shards

[dense remnant]

@proud chasm rune of removal can remove the sealed affix

[proud chasm]

ok so what exactly is the point of sealing an affix? could someone give an example how it would be used in crafting

[fervent quiver]

Do drop chance blessings affect unique drops in any way?

[fervent quiver]

having a fifth affix on an item.

[dense remnant]

^

the point is to get god tier gear :p

[fervent quiver]

you need a lot of luck with forging potential to actually make it good though

sanctum keys feel very common - is worth running the sanctum just for loot if I dont have a legendary to craft?

[glad hill]

Sentinel's Javelin Skill:
How does the damage calculation work?

1. Does Javelin take base weapon damage into account regardless of the weapon type? If not where is the damage derived from?

2. Spears are supposed to grant Javelin 20% more damage. Is this value taken from the base or both the base and added physical melee damage?

[subtle patrol]

I can't figure out what exactly glyph of Order does???

Just used two and didn't comprehand/see what it did

[frosty mirage]

Preserves the previous tier’s range roll to the next tier’s

[spare citrus]

I'll try my best to answer correctly:

1. No, only from Spears and at 20% of the value only.
2. Both the base and added (ANY melee damage, not just physical)

[frosty mirage]

So if I have tier 3 added health tier that rolls 30-40 and roll a 39, and tier 4 has a range of 40-49, I can use the order glyph to guarantee the next tier to be a roll of 49

[fervent quiver]

As an example, if tier 1 of a mod rolls from 50-100, and you rolled 100, then upgrading the mod with the glyph will keep you at that max roll value. So if tier 2 rolls from 75-125, then you would be guaranteed 125 from the glyph

[subtle patrol]

you just answered my next question thank you

[glad hill]

So should I use a dagger for increased crit chance and attack speed since base damage won't be a factor? (Using 1hand for javelin skill)

[subtle patrol]

Just messed around with forging made some nice dps improvements, but now I need to figure out how to preserve my resistances cause now Im going to go squish.

[spare citrus]

A spear is still a better option in my opinion. The deicide lance is quite nice.

[frosty mirage]

Easiest way is through item subtype implicits. Such as the Bone Amulet that rolls physical and necrotic resistance without any affixes or gold rings which roll elemental resistance

https://youtu.be/g3YP37Uzm-8

This is a great starter video about implicits and defenses in general for Last Epoch

[glad hill]

Thanks for the help 😊

[spare citrus]

Any time

[subtle patrol]

Got Ele Res covered as a Totem Shaman, it's the Phys, Poison, Nec and Void I keep roller coasting on. Managed to get 60% endurance with 350 threshold that helped a lot. I finally made it to monolith 80, still can't beat 55 boss in new dungeon though.

[balmy current]

The Shaman has a node that gives you phys (& ele) resist per totem.

[subtle patrol]

yep just realised that so its the poison, necro, and void that keeps rising and falling as I try to keep up with dps

[spare citrus]

So does the new unique helm Paranoia increase the cooldown of Lunge? I am not sure if I am reading it correctly.

[balmy current]

Yes, it's cooldown speed is reduced so it gets through it's cooldown slower.

[spare citrus]

k thx!

[shell totem]

Game keep crashing after character selection after las patch. Soomeone else have the same trouble?

[stone granite]

Try reinstalling the game

[shell totem]

Already done. thx

[ocean pine]

hey guys just came from poe

can i just mess around in LE and still do well or do i need to follow a proper build like in poe ?

[static glacier]

try everything !

respeccs are free and easy

only thing fixed is mastery

[ocean pine]

🤩

[static glacier]

and for basic purpose of getting through all content almost everything that sounds "synergistic" works at least okayish

not saying that some stuff isnt better and that some skills arent not ideal but its not like 10 out of 120 skills are worth it 😄

[amber notch]

Well, respeccing isn't free but pretty cheap\

[static glacier]

compared to poe id say free is okay to say 😛

[amber notch]

Eh, first char can be pretty expensive to respec

Skills are free except for a bit of releveling time

[static glacier]

whats top end cost of respeccing passives in early trees?

800 gold per point?

[amber notch]

1k

i think

But cash is a bit hard to come around on a completely new account until monos

[static glacier]

have to pressure the vendor in a9 😄

[dusk gate]

What do you guys think the most fun build is? In your opinion of course

[fervent quiver]

Squirrel Primalist.

[acoustic thicket]

speeeen

[acoustic thicket]

how do i improt filter with pastebin, when i copy link it says clipboard doesnt have good filter

[proud chasm]

how do i know what level of zone will drop which tier of affix?

[sonic kraken]

You don't. But I think that you can drop tier 4s around level 40

[proud chasm]

good to know thanks

[daring aurora]

for this one, does getting a new stack refresh old ones? if not, keeping up 10 stacks seems hard and im not sure if its wirth taking

[sonic kraken]

Is rune of removal the only way to remove an affix? I know that glyph of chaos can change something to a random affix but I need an empty slot to put in a specific affix

[daring aurora]

then again, once you have 3 of them its 120% effect already, so i might take it anyways

[brave ibex]

It doesn't, but you can get a bunch of extra duration nodes on the tree that helps keep your stacks up

[frosty mirage]

Yes unless you are using a glyph of despair and succeed in sealing the affix. However, based on the context I imagine that is not something you will want to do

[pearl plank]

can hail of arrows apply frostbite?

[meager lily]

hello sir, when will Last Epoch become official and free to play ?

[dense root]

pretty sure it's never going to be free

[meager lily]

they officially made that announcement ?

[frosty mirage]

Outside of Skystrike node, no

To elaborate further, frostbite is an typically applies via on hit and the cold conversion is for chill per second, not frostbite. Skills that deal DoT will not apply ailments over the DoT portion of the skill. However, if they do actually hit (i.e. Skystrike's Barrage of Arrows) then it can be applied then

[meager lily]

im considering to buy the game, or wait for it

[frosty mirage]

They do not have plans to make it free to play currently, it will ship with a box price @meager lily

[meager lily]

rip

[sonic kraken]

Probably never. I think the devs want it to be a b2p game with skins as mtx

[meager lily]

it then has zero chance to compete with PoE

[amber notch]

Diablo competes and is paid

[meager lily]

i don't know exactly why it's better than PoE ? Because, there is no reason to buy a worse game

[sonic kraken]

PoE was in development years ahead of LE

PoE is also becoming increasingly bloated and user-unfriendly

[meager lily]

oh

[sonic kraken]

It expects WAY too much time investment from the player

[frosty mirage]

Also, the MTX will be strictly cosmetic items

[finite mesa]

PoE lets you mostly blunder your way through the campaign

95% of the game is the endgame though

[dense root]

i don't know if it's better or worse than poe but it's definitely different

[sonic kraken]

LE is a more relaxed experience

[finite mesa]

As long as LE has passable team play it will draw an audience

[dense root]

poe is very focused on speed and last epoch has a slower pace that i think is enjoyable

[finite mesa]

PoE's team MP sucks

It's hard to play coop in that game

[sonic kraken]

Group play in poe is just a loot buff

[finite mesa]

D3 is much friendlier in that aspect but it's dated and gets old fast

[sonic kraken]

There's no real player interaction besides aurabots

[meager lily]

so, teamwork in LE is better ?

that sounds cool

[finite mesa]

Trading and carry rotas are about the extent of user interaction

That's not what I said

[sonic kraken]

Also poe is heavily balanced around trading so you can't realistically play fully solo unless you like to suffer

[finite mesa]

I said if it is, then it'll draw an audience

PoE doesn't have that niche

LE is already more enjoyable than PoE to play solo

[sonic kraken]

There's a couple of team skills in LE but it need more time to refine it. Heck multiplayer is still WIP

[finite mesa]

Also the character speeds and damage is closer between builds than in PoE

[meager lily]

ah. How about server ? and the connection

im living in SEA

[sonic kraken]

Currently you play offline so there's no issues with servers

The only online feature is the in-game chat

[meager lily]

if i play offline, what is the purpose of in-game chat ?

sorry i don't understand

[sonic kraken]

Well you can ask questions here or meme

[finite mesa]

To talk to people

Or read their shitposts

[meager lily]

but he said play offline

[sonic kraken]

Purpose of having in-game chat is to have some social interaction

Just like in every other game with chats

[meager lily]

i got some friends, can we play together ?

[finite mesa]

MP is not in yet

[meager lily]

okay sir

[finite mesa]

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

[sonic kraken]

You play by yourself but you can talk with people while doing so. Also it's here so it's ready when multiplayer is introduced

[meager lily]

im looking forward to it

can't wait to play with friends

and thank you for enlightening

[drowsy basalt]

Does crit ever start to feel like a requirement in this game?

[pearl plank]

I think DOT builds are very very strong, so no

[frank dawn]

if i have a minion ability that uses another ability, if i spec into that ability, will its bonuses be applied when the minion uses it?

[vast moat]

i need this squirrel helmet, whats the best way to approach farming it?

awakened or normal?

[amber notch]

Awakened

[vast moat]

and then look for the legendary nodes?

doing the 3 lvl 90s to unlock awakened, this is taking forever @ 650 needed xD

[amber notch]

Pretty much

[vast moat]

i dont think helmet drop rates matters for unique farming?

[amber notch]

IIRC if you have increased helmet drop rates you get more helmets on average per unique

[vast moat]

got 1 bee idol in 20 hours of gameplay 😭 and it was only 3 bees ;9

[thin canopy]

free bee's every 10 secs ?

[vast moat]

ye

my build depends on the bees :p

[thin canopy]

more hours .. get more idols. you got the beekeeper gloves aswell ?

[vast moat]

no

[thin canopy]

thats very low lvl gear . to bad gambling is gone

[vast moat]

arek's bones + scurry helmet and crit bear

fun stuff

-100% phys resists and like 500 armor shred stacks

[drowsy basalt]

Ty for the input

[pearl plank]

im sorry whats this

covered the whole screen and one shot me

[vast moat]

press D lol

[amber notch]

Change time

[pearl plank]

ahhhh that would make sense

tyty

[vast moat]

is endurance + leech a viable defence for bear?

i can get like 1200 endurance threshold with 60% reduction that seems pretty good

[shadow surge]

is anything wrong with loot filters imported from the build planner website?

[dense root]

copy paste is broken, use an xml

[shadow surge]

it seems like it still isn't working right, I tried that for a lich build I'm copying but I see items dropping with a text color that isn't even in my filter

[dense root]

weird

[shadow surge]

I can't figure out what is doing it

[vast moat]

is it normal to kill lvl 90 shade in 5 seconds ?XD

[solar juniper]

why cant i pick this up

no lootfilter active

[dense remnant]

press z

[solar juniper]

ty

[dense remnant]

you can unbind the key in settings

big recommend 😄

[solar juniper]

BIG ty

[vast moat]

level 3 and 4 legendary potential only drop in awakened?

havent found any so far :S

[dense root]

i think they're just rare enough that you're unlikely to find one before you hit empowered monoliths

not 100% sure though

[vast moat]

you get more uniques in emnpowered but not more potential right?

[amber notch]

You do afaik

More corruption means higher quality drops

[knotty hinge]

Only area level contributes to LP amount.

What exactly affects the amount of Legendary Potential that a unique item gets?
Being in a higher level zone is the only thing that you can do to increase the chances of getting Legendary Potential on an item that drops. If a certain zone has a higher chance to drop the specific unique you are looking for and is a couple levels lower than an alternative zone, it’s probably better to farm where more of that unique drops. This might not always be true but don’t expect to frequently find even 3Leg uniques in a level 100 zone. These high potential items are very rare.

[vast bolt]

can someone help me? Im new and stuck. Idk what to do but my dmg seems to be ASS

[vast moat]

ok so corruption 😄

[static glacier]

press alt on your main skill and check if it scales how you think it scales

most likley its not scalling like you think it is 😉

[vast bolt]

int and dex oh ok

so melee phys on my weapon wont have any effect right?

[copper fable]

Depends on the type of skill it is, what skill are you trying to scale
