daiummm u guys murdered my dream of infinite armor shred meme builds
for nonphysical so i presume elemental (cold in my case)
a difference between 40 stacks and 99++++++ is a nonsense 10%

[jovial leaf]

Yes. It's base armor scaling.

[robust talon]

u really killed my dream build meme

i was expecting like 100 stacks = x100 damage . super christmas rip

[jovial leaf]

Have more 12000 armor no make sense. The same thing true for shredding armor, it works exactly the same way, just in the opposite direction.

[robust talon]

yeah i saw this 12k armor thing that is barely 79\81% """"cap""""
this i kinda expected
But the armor shred killed me for real,
i just saw that 299 armor shred stacks = +58% elemental dmg
50 armor shred stacks = +50% elemental dmg

mega rip, i truly thought it multiplied by an insane more amount

[jovial leaf]

Press F.

https://tenor.com/view/press-f-mg-salute-gif-15543929

[robust talon]

yeah for real ahahahahahahahahahahaha
now i go back crying with my meme build
i even disturbed like all yesterday MIKE W the dev
asking to change the visual 15+ icons debuff under monster health
to see how many stacks i could reach, cos i was soooo proud
and then...now this change all

another question, sorry to disturb more

exemple:
Lightning penetration with shock
each stacks = -5% light pen on the target
shock max stacks = 20 = -100% light pen

plus some other light penetration here and there with passive\skill nodes
and the juicy -50% from blessing
let's say -200% light pen total

questions are:
1)
monsters\bosses have elemental resistances or it is like armor they start with zero?

the damage will be increased by +200% or even this has an insane diminishing return?

[jovial leaf]

monsters\bosses have elemental resistances or it is like armor they start with zero?
All monsters in the game have 0 resistances, armor, endurance and each other defense mechanic by default(maybe only Julra have something unique modifiers or something).
the damage will be increased by +200% or even this has an insane diminishing return?
Yes, damage multiply. +200% to total damage.

[robust talon]

FANTASTIC! at least this time no surprise on stacking penetration at least xd

[copper fable]

a bit of a problem

shock is only 2% on bosses

[jovial leaf]

But i not know how this work if u using shred armor and penetration at the same time. I think that all increase dmg taken modifiers additive, but not sure.

[copper fable]

😏

[jovial leaf]

Yes, 60% less effect.

But penetration have 100% effect on all enemies.

[copper fable]

they add, pen + total shred, so 40 pen and 40 shred is -80 effect

[robust talon]

ouch did not know that difference of less effective, but i am still happy cos no surprise with diminishing return

[robust talon]

u mean
100% penetration = double damage vs monsters
100% penetration = half+ damage vs bosses
? correct?

oh! teach me with armor shred combo pene
does this have a special weird curve?

[jovial leaf]

No.

100% penetration give u double all this damage versus all. Include bosses.

But shred resistances, shock and poison have 60% less effect versus bosses.

Penetration have 100% effect all the time, versus all.

[robust talon]

ohhhhhh i am stupid
element penentration is a thing
penetration from shock is another thing
got it now, my bad thanks both of u guys

.

basic damage 1000
50 armor stacks shred
200% lighting penetration
final damage = ????? in my opinion is (1000 + 48%) x3

i just read your question @jovial leaf in ask the dev
it is perfect, hope they answer

[frosty mirage]

[delicate lagoon]

I'm using the Plague Bearers node in Aura of Decay as pictured; would "Increased Minion Damage" actually improve the poison damage granted by this node or only their physical damage?

[balmy current]

Yes, it would improve all of their damage

Increased minion phys damage would increase your minion's physical damage only (but regardless of how they do it, spell/melee/etc)

[delicate lagoon]

Thank you. Now that I think about it I'm a bit confused about how poison works in relation to my minions, actually. A minion and I would both contribute poison stacks to an enemy... but the damage done by those stacks are different depending on our respective increases to damage?

[balmy current]

but the damage done by those stacks are different depending on our respective increases to damage Yes

Though poison's innate (& uncapped) resist shred doesn't care who applied the poison.

[delicate lagoon]

Cool, that makes sense! Thanks a lot @balmy current

[ripe sundial]

One of my favorite leveling unique, damn this thing could be junky

[vernal burrow]

do death knights count as skeleton mages for bonuses assiocated with them

[pseudo dust]

Yep, they're still mages

cool

[acoustic thicket]

Does anyone know if there is main menu theme available to listen somewhere? 😅

[vernal burrow]

i feel like my reaper form does no damage but in 8 levels i get a staff that increases melee and minion damage by pretty much 200 percent

and its for alcolyt

cant spell

its a unquie

any other reason it doeent do damage

anyone know if armor shred increase bleeding effectiveness?

[balmy current]

Nope

[vital urchin]

[balmy current]

bleed is an ailment, ailments don't hit, armour only affects hit damage

makes sense

what about phys pen?

[balmy current]

that does as long as it's not "phys pen on hit" from the skill

phys shred does as well

[vital urchin]

thank you

[polar bough]

can 2 stash categories be combined together? Out of nowhere, my 2 stash categories got combined and all stash tabs merged. Not sure if it's a bug or some feature

[knotty hinge]

That is a known bug

[polar bough]

is there a way to fix it? other than creating new stash categories?

[balmy current]

Yeah, search the forum for one of the bug reports that has details on how to un-fuck it.

Requires manual editing of the stash file (so back it up)

[stone granite]

You manually edit the stash file and change the category ID to something different, it bugs out giving 2 tabs the same category ID

[ripe sundial]

Does anyone have an updated build for werebear maul? I heard that in mid/endgame you can go for swipe+maul and use dualwield one handers, but doing 2h axe currently

This game looks fun but I heard it’s still not finished. What does that mean?

[copper fable]

it means its not officially released, there is still content they plan to add before its a "Full game"

cosmetics when boys

[potent radish]

Am I safe to hide all magic items? Any use for them to be shown?

[acoustic thicket]

Items with class specific mods, and if they are t4-5 of specific mods you want that are rarer

[potent radish]

That leads to another question (I'm really new): Can you craft additional affixes on Magic items then, to give them up to 4? As in, can you craft Magic Items into "rare" items?

[acoustic thicket]

yes

you can take a white item to a rare. just limited by crafting potential

Anyone know how to get the ardent skullen code from the new collab with Zizaran?

You shouldn't need to do anything additional to activate the game. There's currently a bug that's affecting some new users, so if you're unable to login just contact support.

[robust talon]

weird question of the morning 1:

suppose i have 100% crit chance,

MORE DAMEGE +10%
is better\worst\equal than
Critical multiplier +10%

[proud salmon]

if it works like poe the math says you would grab what ever mod you have less of

also holy crap 6 min time fix at 1 am on christmas

that is amazing

[frosty prism]

More is better. Think of an attack that does 100 base that crits for 200. With 10% more you deal 220 dam, while 10% multi only does 210.

The difference would be further exacerbated by having more than the base 200% crit multi

[static glacier]

Crit multi has a relative dimishing return like most stats. Going from 200 to 300 is huge .. going from 700 to 800 is relativly less gain

Hard to answer this whats better questions without knowing the starting point. But at very least you need 20% multi to beat a 10% more (assuming you only have 200% multi before and a 100% crit)

[analog stump]

does empowered give higher legendary potential chances?
or can i just farm for bhuldar's on non-empowered?

[hidden crypt]

Bhuldar is always fixed 50% drop rate. Afaik corruption or empowered does not matter. Obviously you get better loot from other sources while farming if you are on empowered high corruption.

[robust talon]

thanks @static glacier and @frosty prism
yeah u are right i missed some information
crit multi 350%
crit chance 100%
basic damage 20.000

bonus more +30% [( 20k x350% damage) + 30% ]= 117k damage?)
vs
crit multi +30% (20k x380% damage) = 96k damage ?

Correct? more 30% is applied after the calculation of crit multi this is why more is always better ?

[static glacier]

The base damage is irrelevant...
And all multis are multiplicative so before or after is no question 😬

Your one multi is crit chance × crit multi ... thats 1,00 (100% crit) × 3,5 = 3,5 or 1,00 × 3,8
The other multi is the more so 1,00 or 1,30

So 3,5 × 1,3 or 3,8 × 1,0

Obviously the first is higher

If you want to add in the base damage.. 20.000 × 3,5 × 1,3 vs 20.000 × 3,8 × 1,0

[robust talon]

thanks a lot , ok so lession learned, MORE daamage% is always better than any other multiplier

[analog stump]

Ah nice, only looking to legendarize a bhuldars atm so gonna speed thru non empowered then, thanks!

[dusky kite]

Except that it wasn't the lesson, the lesson was that your DPS is a classic linear optimization problem with DPS function of x * y * z and the limit of x+y+z being the stat budget.

If you already have 3000% damage mod, an extra 30% won't do shit.

[acoustic thicket]

it's not always better.
if you have a 20% more but already have 200% more to start with
and have 20% crit multi but only have 150%, the 20% crit multi would be more damage.

[static glacier]

Adding another new more is usually better than getting just even more of a multiplier you allready have ... for details ask your excel

[peak garden]

hi guys im new to the game

[civic anvil]

help le-24

[tall maple]

Is this normal that every character sucks at corruption 100+ because resistances in that game are bullshit and you are getting oneshotted by every fucking orobyss skill?

[dense root]

i have not had this issue

you need more defenses beyond resistances though

[acoustic thicket]

^

DR of some kind helps a good bit

[dense root]

a health based character for example will often want to cap resistances, cap crit avoidance, cap endurance, and then stack as much health as possible

and having these multiple layers of defenses mean you really only die to multiple hits or to big attacks that are so telegraphed it’s your fault if you ever get hit

[tall maple]

So I have to have 5 fucking layers of defence to get rid of oneshotting?

So, basically I have to choose between zdps and tank?

[acoustic thicket]

around 3 you start feeling pretty decent on the oneshotting.

and no, you can get both dps and not getting oneshot. it's call gearing

[dense root]

it doesn’t necessarily have to be as many as five layers but stacking at least a couple layers of defenses is pretty normal in arpgs in my experience

[acoustic thicket]

yup

[dense root]

and yeah i have both defenses and damage on most of my characters

the ones that are lacking are just undergeared or still being leveled

[tall maple]

Bro, I have shitty drop ratio on everything. I had first unique drop after 17h of playing.

[acoustic thicket]

that's just bad luck.

[tall maple]

How I am supposed to play the game if the game doesn't want me to play lul

[acoustic thicket]

that's nothing to do with the game. that's just you being in a statistical anomaly

[tall maple]

And that anomaly causes a total bullshittery in my gameplay, because I can't farm empowered monos, because I can't get better gear, because my drop ratio sucks.

[acoustic thicket]

Getting decent gear isn't hard. setup a loot filter for resists at t4 or above, and slam on your offensive affixes as needed

[tall maple]

Bruh. I have like 50% overcap on every resist, even poison.

Also, I am using Aurora's to get "second life"

[acoustic thicket]

Sounds like you have a bit more than needed then. trade some of that out for endurance

[dense root]

that’s more than you need for resists yeah

if you didn’t have 350% extraneous resistances total you could be using that to get a lot of other defenses without sacrificing damage

[acoustic thicket]

^

[tall maple]

Wait, so you don't have to have like overcap on resists?

[dense root]

no

[acoustic thicket]

you want what, 10% over to deal with shred?

[dense root]

the extra does nothing except against shred and honestly it’s not even a priority against shred

[tall maple]

Enemies have a ton of "fire shred" and "armor shred" things, so I thought it's necessary to have overcap.

[dense root]

well armor shred doesn’t impact resistances but also shred isn’t the biggest deal because of how resistances work

all enemies penetrate 75% resistances by default in high level zones so if an enemy shreds a couple percent off your resistances you’re only taking a couple percent more damage

like you’re definitely right that overcapping resists deals effectively with shred and it’s maybe good to try and do that later on but it’s more important to prioritize getting other types of defenses first

[tall maple]

So, the game is designed to count my resistances as zero, because monsters penetrates them anyway?

[dense root]

sort of? mostly i mean that a couple stacks of shred don’t increase the damage taken as much as losing the same amount of resistance would in path of exile or any other arpg with a poe style resistance system

[stark charm]

I thought that it works like this: if you have 100% resist and monster have 75% penetration for that resist, you still have 25% resist? so it is good to have more resist than cap?

[tall maple]

In PoE if you have to have overcap to feel comfortable against ele weakness. And that's why I thought it's the same in LE.

[dense root]

right i figured

[acoustic thicket]

Yeah no, not the same here.
Pen ignores your overcap btw.

[dense root]

like i thought that too at first

but it works a different way here so i’m explaining how the system is

[acoustic thicket]

shred is the only thing that counts overcap. so 75% res cap is just 0% increased damage taken

[tall maple]

So, for 61% poison res I am taking 14% increased poison damage

That's right?

[stark charm]

well that sucks than 😄

[brave ibex]

No. In-game guide explains this

[tall maple]

Actually In-Game Guide has poor wording about resistances, so we have a big converstation right here.

[brave ibex]

Idc about the conversation, what I replied to is explained in-game

Overcap is largely irrelevant

[dusky kite]

more like 7 given extra defensive skills but that's the gist of it. Late game is not about stacking damage, it's about stacking survivability.

[tall maple]

I can't even stack damage, because I don't have reliable drops for boosting my DPS on character... XD

Also worth to mention that I have specialised loot filter for the build I am playing to be sure that I won't miss any valuable item [for that build].

[dusky kite]

That's a little hard to believe. The game showers you in perfectly adequate rare loot. You don't need to have a 4 LP legendary in every slot to have decent gear.

Maybe the problem is that your loot filter filters out too much instead of too little?

[tall maple]

Just hide all normal/magic, show all uniques/exalted/set and items with at least 1 out of X affixes I need.

[acoustic thicket]

oh yeah no that's your problem lol

[tall maple]

?

[acoustic thicket]

hiding all magics is a bait

[tall maple]

They have like max 20 forge potential, so it's like a one craft and it's gone.

[acoustic thicket]

you can get 2x t5's and craft off that. or 2x t4

[static glacier]

Hiding all magic stuff is okay after patch tbh

[dusky kite]

I'm running similar filters while gearing up alts and the amount of rares that are no longer relevant to my build is staggering by about level 15-20 already.

[acoustic thicket]

eh, you can at least set it to only hid ones that don't have 2x t4 or higher.

[dusky kite]

By normal monos the gear is so good you can essentially hide everything below exalted

Unless you plan to swap builds and don't already have some items stashed

I'm seriously having trouble wrapping my head around people being unable to find enough decent items, itemization up to like 70-80% is a complete non-issue in this game save for a few builds

[oak osprey]

yo! sorry for the off topic question but does any1 know if your block chance can go below 0%?

[tall maple]

I mean checking for magic 2xT4 is a good way to start, so I will add a rule in a second.

[brave ibex]

No

[static glacier]

After you do empoweres you can basicly hide any non exalt agree 😬

[oak osprey]

neat, thanks!

[acoustic thicket]

oh yeah. by the time you hit empowers yeah. but omega here wasn't even to that yet.

[static glacier]

You can craft t20+ now so easy

I never had such easy gearing

[dense root]

getting t20 with four relevant affixes is very easy yeah

[tall maple]

I mean I started doing empowers, but like I said I am dying on orobyss too often imho.

[acoustic thicket]

chaosing bad affixes also help getting good items as well

[dense root]

some orobyss attacks just need to be dodged

[tall maple]

I did 50 corruption in Spirits of Fire on easy mode, so I thought switching to empowers will be easy enough to start a new journey towards wings of argentus, but I see that I have to l2p before I will even start doing empowers ^_^

[dusky kite]

You don't need to kill orobys even once to start doing empowered, and if you are really this strapped for gear then the extra drop rates will be a massive improvement. Trying to get normal monos to 50 is largely a waste of time when you could be making rounds of 100 for free instead.

[tall maple]

So, don't reset echoes until you will have a proper gear to do so, that's a good idea?

[stark charm]

imho if you cant kill orobys its not like you have much of a choice

[dense root]

empowered monoliths are the first (and currently more or less only) difficulty spike in the game imo so this makes sense

[tall maple]

I mean, I can kill him, but trying to do it like 10 times it's definitely not efficient way to play the game.

[stark charm]

yea I had that problem multiple times with timeline bosses 😄 just have to grind through...

[dusky kite]

What build are you even running? Are you doing the mechanics correctly? Are you making sure you don't overbuff him with echo modifiers? The boss isn't a pushover but it's not that hard. There are many factors.

[stark charm]

you can run the dungeon couple times to try to get some legendary but I wouldnt hold your breath for it

[dense root]

empowered orobyss was sort of rough until i learned how some of the harder hitting attacks are telegraphed but yeah if you dodge the big attacks it's not too bad

[tall maple]

Yeah, that was my first thought when you asked and I think I know what's going on right now XD

[dense root]

just if you don't know what to look for sometimes you lose half your health out of nowhere

[tall maple]

That's it. That is why, being irritated, I came here for advice.

[frosty rune]

which form of the shade are you fighting?

[tall maple]

And now I think I know what was the problem. I had too many mods affecting orobyss, so basically every skill he did was a one way ticket.

[tall maple]

Bleed one with meteor and other things.

[acoustic thicket]

I always just end up with the shades being Thicc

[robust talon]

hei sorry to disturb yesterday i learned the diminishing return curve about
armor armorshred
but wondering if there is also a curve for "critical vulnerability"
anyone know?

[tall maple]

Oh yeah, I think I did more like T H I C C orobyss...

[acoustic thicket]

All my shades end up with resists and Hp and endurance

[frosty rune]

ah i see, the fight just gets easier with experience, that's all there is

[brave ibex]

Every stack of critical vulnerability is just 5% flat crit chance on that enemy

[tall maple]

There is no cure for stupidity... :v

[frosty rune]

very fun boss though

stupidity != not knowing

[robust talon]

eh fact is that i apply 10 stacks in exact 0,7 second
so not bad this is why i wanted to know if it has a curve diminishing return, so i can switch some stacks with other bonuses

[brave ibex]

There is no diminishing return. It's literally just flat crit chance

[robust talon]

ouhh yeah perfect thank u

[tall maple]

Thanks for advices, tips, tricks and overall help @acoustic thicket @dense root @dusky kite

[proud salmon]

can retribution trigger while you channel?

[robust talon]

@proud salmon
retribution triggers when you are hit, it does not depends on anything else
not if you are attacking\channeling\moving\standing

°on dodge should NOT work,cos u actually miss the fact that u are getting hit.
°on block should work cos u are getting hit no matter if u block it or not.
°on D.o.T should NOT, the tick of each dot damage received is not a a hit , but more a damage tick .

(this dodge and block and dot things i am 99% sure , better if someone else also confirm or disagree)

also an advice when u want "simple" testing
just remove combo sinergy to have the screen clean when performing a test
and just go to low enemy zone ,
in your case channel without killing mobs and see when other monsters are hitting u if u trigger retribution,

[vernal burrow]

so trying to do a melee reaper build with acolyte but it doesnt do enough damage and dies a lot any suggestions

[robust talon]

i always go on youtube boardman21 lizardirl amarathy epochbuild (hope i am not missing someone)
but they pretty much covered 100% of every possible builds
i do remember boardman played a lot with reaper melee, also speed farming mono was a meta back in the days due to his mov speed skill pretty much zero cooldown

[vernal burrow]

awww

i was going to make a build one day if i ever got far enough on mine

katerina zed fan fic build was its name

yeah maybe my problem is that i didnt craft a good item for her yet

i juust got a really good item for my flame reave build tho wtf

i really like melee reaper build but my soul fire hungering souls build was really fun

[hidden crypt]

Sanctum rewards change daily, and they are same for all of us. Is it known if the reward pool is fixed or random?
For example yesterday T4 was exalted weapons (<3). Today is runes (lul). Is it possible that tomorrow reward is exalted weapons, or do we go through the entire reward pool first before hitting it?

[proud salmon]

the reason i was asking was because my only channel skill was warpath and i couldn't tell what was a warpath hit or a retribution hit. thanks for the help 🙂

[vernal burrow]

should i be doing the satnctum a lot even if i dont have items for it

[static glacier]

It drops a lot of exalts but do not get you blessings

I usually aim for blessings over anything else they are just free power

[robust talon]

oh dont worry i also tried a lot, i love the building process and trying to understand everything,
i hope that i was right with the
dodge block dot
maybe @static glacier can help us to be 100% sure if he has time

[static glacier]

Well a dodge does not hit and a dot doesnt either for that i am sure

Afaik even a Blocked hit is a hit ... block is just a less hit damage taken multiplier

[robust talon]

perfect 3\3 i was correct, i am happy usually i am the one that spam ask for questions hahahha
anyway if @proud salmon u need more help i can try my best to answer,
my biggest mistakes even now are not reading the tags as melee,spell,hit,channel,manacost, throwing

especially throwing (are not melee, every time i do huge epic fails )

[proud salmon]

is there anything that modifys those tags i need to watch out for?

[static glacier]

Some skills have elemental conversion or even nodes that change them to spell or dot

Just adding 100 flat cold damage doesnt give your fire skill a cold Tag

[robust talon]

usually press ALT when overing like for exemple
press ALT and u ll see all its tags, (this was also a common mistakes i do sometime, i forget)

yeah also as Hybria say keep an eye everytime u change some nodes or passiveskills
keep pressing ALT over your skill to see new tags

[proud salmon]

thanks for all the help 🙂 trying to play kinda blind so it is nice to be able to get replys for stuff i'm having a hard time figuring out without just reading everything

[gleaming stream]

has anyone had an issue with everything going missing? runes/stash tabs everything in the tabs glyphs and gold

[dense root]

did your game crash recently or something?

that sometimes happens to people when the save process gets interrupted i think

[gleaming stream]

nope i dont believe it did

happened on thursday

[vernal burrow]

so like idk which build to do i really liked my hungering soul build but if the meleee reaper build would work i would like that a lot

[stone granite]

Did you make a solo character?

[gleaming stream]

nope

[subtle oasis]

Does "Ethereal arrows" affect bleed I inflict on enemies?

[lost steeple]

hey guys, need some advice on the loot filter. How can you make a generic tier based filter on rares? I added two main conditions: one for minimum tier grade of 3, and another minimum total tier grade of 14 (to more or less force 4 tiers on the drops), but I still get items with 3 affixes and tiers below 3.

[brave ibex]

You need a hide rule below those or you'll continue to see everything

D'oh, I'm an idiot 😄 thanks! 🙂

[worldly tangle]

what is this current, why is it blocked?

[stone granite]

you can't put passives past the chain if that is not your mastery

ooooh holy shit ;-;

you cannot

anyone know what time the daily dungeon affix rotates?

what is the best class to play right now for fun and farming?

with the latest patch

[hard pier]

Quick clarification on the Spellblade Blade Weaver node - if I'm using the Chillflame node for Shatter Strike, does the Blade Weaver ailment effect work?

[sick yacht]

yeah, it will consume stacks if you keep it costing 10 or more mana or build them if it's 9 or less

[hard pier]

Sick

[stone granite]

The best class to play is whatever class you enjoy

[fickle spade]

Hello, may i ask small question here? I have 8gb ram, the first menu after i pop up launcher takes 6-7gb, is that normal? Or is it a bug i have

"A bug"

[dense root]

i don't know if it's necessarily normal but the game is not currently optimized particularly well

they do a bit to improve this in most patches if i understand correctly but the focus seems to be on completing the content (missing story chapters, multiplayer, more endgame systems) first and then optimizing afterwards

[fickle spade]

I kind of expected that answer, but wanted to be sure, thanks! Also, can you tell me how much of a ram game takes in your case?

[dense root]

not sure off the top of my head sorry

i’ve just somehow never had any real performance issues so i’ve never checked

my computer has quite a bit of ram though (32gb if i remember correctly)

the bottleneck for me would be somewhere else (probably my gpu since i haven’t upgraded in like seven years)

(they’re so expensive now though …)

[copper fable]

I have 8gb of ram myself, and run everything on low

my game is currently 3.3gb in game

[fickle spade]

Hmm, ok thanks guys

Must be my pc issue

[harsh rampart]

generally you want at least 16GB of ram for gaming, if you can, get ddr4.

also make sure to check pcpartpicker to make sure it's compatible before buying

i got a gladiators oath what does it mean by it creates a fighting arnea

it just makes a little circle area in the ground. I tried to take a SS here but it's kinda hard to see

i see

what builds is good for it

idk

i feel like my build isnt good yet

bc there is only one unquie

its pure throwing damage and only the gloves help with it

does chrimas essace work with lich reaper form

[hushed ledge]

Is there a way to try to farm specific uniques or set items that arent boss drops?

[lavish dew]

Farm unique item echoes in timelines where the unique reward is the type you want

Eg: eye of reen - Reign of dragons

Its still gonna take some time for the rarer uniques tho

[hushed ledge]

I didnt know certain timelines had certain drops pools. Thanks

[sly brook]

regarding the boss at the temporal sanctum ||is there any way to clear the pools? or any way to not trigger the boss from casting it?||

[mint stream]

@sly brookno and no

[dense root]

you can stop the boss from casting it

if you change eras to dodge something and then change back before julra follows you the boss doesn’t use the attack

[acoustic thicket]

Hi, #% increased Shadow Daggers effect doesn't modify the dps of shadow daggers (I can't see the difference when I press alt on the node Lethal Darkness in the Umbral Blades tree). It's only a visual bug or it doesn't increased the damage for real ?

[ripe sundial]

What are the best builds this patch? I finally got a character to level 80+ echoes and got nice drops for the build. Was wondering what I could farm atm

[snow spruce]

Not everything is implemented for tooltip dps at the moment, not a bug, just an incomplete feature. more will come in later patches.

[dreamy blade]

so if HC char dies, it becomes Ghost, will it stay like that ? And does it play like a regular SC char now?

yes and yes. keeps the ghost tag, uses your sc stash instead of your hc one

cool touch for the ghost tag, thanks

So, I went for a full necro build here and tried going as a "supporter" for my minions. When I'm using blood splatter on an enemy and minions stand right next to them, they seemingly get the buff (bloody rain stuff?), however when I shift click on my minions, they won't. Is this intended?

i was trying to figure that out

there's no moderator role

ive never wanted to do a hardcore character in a arpg before but like now i do bc i love the game, what is the best way to not die horribly

[nimble bone]

Druid has quite some defensive passives

and Werebear is also very tanky

[vernal burrow]

what if i didnt want to play a tanky character

i never really liked primaist anyway\

[brave ibex]

If you don't want to play a tanky character.. don't play hardcore

[vernal burrow]

ah

what about the increased difficultyy for no reason

[static glacier]

Sentinel is tanky too if you prefer that

[frigid orbit]

I heard there are three uniques which cannot drop with LP. Which unqiues are these?

[dense root]

avarice, gambler's fallacy, orchiran's petals

[frigid orbit]

Thank you. So it is a tleast possible to get an omnis with LP^^

[dense root]

technically

getting even 1 lp on an omnis will take many drops

and 3 or 4 is basically not a thing

[frigid orbit]

Yeah. Sure. But at least it will happen to someone 🙂

I will not get any more omnis in the next weeks I assume. Found two back to back today...

[warped dragon]

guys, does this lower my health drain in reaper form ?

No, reaper is decay, not drain

Reaper also isn’t % based

i feel like my build is good the way i have it but i want to either start a new character or something bc i have a good item

cant you just copy and paste your character saves

i want to make a copy

[marble nexus]

is there any type of tier list for builds and stuff?

[copper fable]

some build creators give a ranking for their builds, but I dont think there is like a fully accepted list or anything like that

[vernal burrow]

does it matter what item ii use to upgrade with an acesdance rune, like im trying to get a certain unquie glove Riverbend Grasp

[copper fable]

nope any glove works

[broken kernel]

is it impossible to drop a legendary potential wings? On the wiki it says effective level is 115

[copper fable]

its mega rare but not impossible

115 is the highest possible level, so pretty much wings is very unlikely to ever have LP, and if you do get LP its way weighted towards the low end of LP

[broken kernel]

whatcha mean by that?

[copper fable]

Higher effective level items are less likely to have high values of LP

so a 4LP wings is basically god levels of rarity

[broken kernel]

whats the equation, do we know?

[copper fable]

Nope, just a basic understanding of higher number is worse, and that 115 is the highest number

[broken kernel]

[rugged drift]

Hi, quick question...is the game more optimized now with the latest patch? I bought the game a while back in May 2021, but it ran really hot on my computer and I was concerned that it was damaging my gpu so I returned it, but now it's on sale and I was hoping it would be more optimized

[proud salmon]

idk if it did back then but it has a few options to lower gpu use. the devs said it is more cpu heavy

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

[obtuse forge]

What does "Taunt" do in this game? i.e. this Warcry node

Just relevant for multiplayer or minions maybe? Or does it have a debuff or something?

[fringe pawn]

is there a way to make minions be more aggressive ?

[snow spruce]

You can direct where they go by pressing a

[static glacier]

We got a number for 4 lp on omnis afair and it is more likley to randomly pick the same atom in the ocean twice in a row kind of low

[broken kernel]

haha

[twilit bough]

Do lower level monoliths level up. I.e., I got a bad blessing, so do I need to keep farming the lvl 58 monolith until i get a better one?

[earnest nacelle]

nah, just go through all monos and replace it when you do the empowered version later

[twilit bough]

AH ok tyvm

and I pick always the highest level after finish a mono

as long as I can handle it?

[earnest nacelle]

that's what I typically do yeah, especially if you're not HC and don't mind dying every now and then

just go through and get to empowered ASAP

[twilit bough]

ty alot 😄

One more Q

do I just rush to the objectives, or full clear? From your get to empowered ASAP, I'd assume until then I just rush

[earnest nacelle]

rush

[hexed vault]

how do I setup my end game web?

should I rush more corruption

or spam the quest bosses?

[frigid orbit]

Really depends on what you can handle and want to farm: In general you should push corruption to a level you still can play fast enough. Higher corruption gives higher rarity.
I usually combine monolith boss farming with pushing corruption as the echoes give higher instability on higher corruption. But the outer areas also have a highly increased instability return.
When farming specific reward types in monoliths you usually will reveal as much as possible and than utilize the reroll and un-complete echoes to improve your return.

[hexed vault]

dude

Corruption = more rarity?

jsut tell me

[stuck musk]

yes, it says so in the description

[brave ibex]

Maybe look at the game guide rather than getting triggered at somebody trying to help you

[dreamy blade]

if you finish the campaign on one char, can you level your alts in some alternative way? dungeon or similar? or you have to go through campaign

[copper fable]

You can start end game as soon as you hit end of time, meaning at 20 to 25 usually

you only have to do other stuff to get idol/passive slots

but if you have really good twink gear you can just go do monos to get leveled up then run back and get them all really fast

There is also a skip, if you beat the dungeon which you get access to in I think chapter 4 or 5 that will skip you to chapter 9, but you still need to do idol quests/passives so the skip isnt that useful

But I guess the tldr is no? not really. you will always have to do it for passives

[iron zealot]

Hey, guys. Been away from game for awhile. Has multiplayer been introduced/implemented yet?

What do ppl usually look at "website/other places) for new builds? Im kinda new and looking for some good strong builds

[spiral umbra]

Ty, Do anyone know if lightning blast sorcerer is still strong, and is it tanky?

Think its also known as Foe Nova boy or something

[solar juniper]

What do i have to watch out for when "migrating" a solo character to non solo? I heard you lose everything in your stash? What about shards and currencx? My solo char is way ahead compared to my non solo chars

[dusky kite]

The only way where full clear kinda makes sense is the t4 dungeon on the second floor if you get a good combination of exalted drops from trash modifiers.

[spiral umbra]

Is Lowlife EQ werebear considered to be stronger than lightning blast sorcerer?

[hidden crypt]

Lowlife bear is nutty, but you have to use brain and figure it out yourself. There aren't really decent guides for it.

Lightning Blast is plug and play, way easier.

[marble bridge]

When can i select my second class ?

[spiral umbra]

@hidden crypt Thanks, to my understanding Lightning blast is very similar, when it comes to power right?

[dense root]

beginning of chapter 4

[marble bridge]

ty

[dense root]

you'll be level 20-25 normally

[marble bridge]

They changed it right ?

[dense root]

also keep in mind that your mastery choice is final

no idea if they changed it it's been this way the whole time i played but the game existed before i bought it

[marble bridge]

Yeah back when i played active you could do the second class with lvl 10 iirc

[tender kraken]

Been just playing through the main story, would I be guided to how to do end game farming content after the story finishes? (in game I mean)

[static glacier]

All in stash and forge is lost

You have what you wear and your inventory

[reef barn]

do clearing all branches of a time line has any benefit beside done with a quest and a loot buff from killing last boss of that timeline?

i want to jump to higher lvl timeline asap but not sure if i missed out something if not clearing the previous one

[frigid orbit]

Just go the right way until you reach all three level 90 timelines. Finish them and unloick empowered this way

You don't miss anything. The blessings on the left side (exluding the level 90 one= also only provide utility blessings

[reef barn]

@frigid orbit tyvm

is there any mace or sceptre in the game with base fire dam? im 6x rn and not seeing any of them with base fire dam

[vernal burrow]

Wait don't tell me

Is it possible to do a melee bow hybrid build

Nvm

I thought I saw an item

[shadow pulsar]

Technically you could run melee yourself and have a bow minion

[vernal burrow]

Nah. Honestly I think the bow attacks are a bit boring, some are fun, but dark quill and rain of arrows sound too similar to each other

I tried asking this yesterday but someone said. Bc the saves are on your pc you can clone saves. Is this true. Is this against tos. I could understand bc duplicate items but I just don't want to level to 70 again just to do a slightly different build

Or mayeb I should. I just have a really good build and wanted to do something completely different but still blade dancer

[dense root]

you can always just respec your character if it's the same mastery

like changing passives just costs gold and changing skills is really fast

like the last time i did this it took me maybe half an hour to have completed the change

and like that's nothing

[solar juniper]

Oof

[copper fable]

Anyone got some data for farming the relic from t4 dungeon? I have done like 20 runs and not got it, am I just unlucky

[solar juniper]

Arent there like daily rewards or so

Idk if it applies to the drops too

[robust talon]

woo! they added daily rewards?

[gilded silo]

Can set items drop with legendary potential? Last Epoch Tools seems to imply so, but I have a full stashtab with uniques with legendary potential, and not one set item 😄

[frigid orbit]

They cant

[gilded silo]

thanks for confirming ❤️

[vernal burrow]

Yeah I just don't want to start all over the passive and skills to the degree I want to

[delicate storm]

Where can i find a written crafting guide? I am a new player

[static glacier]

Press g

[solar juniper]

Idk if it was rewards or challenges, i just read smth about smth changing Daily in dungeon. Didnt dig deep into it myself yet

[copper fable]

the reward for each tier is different each day

so todays t4 is a glyph of despair

and tomorrow it will be something else

[solar juniper]

Is only T4 affected?

[copper fable]

nope, every tier changes every day

[torpid trail]

Does spell damage leech?

[hidden crypt]

It can leech yes

[torpid trail]

Thx

[frigid orbit]

You have to specify your question. If a node says "leech on cold damage" or "leech on hit" non-damage over time cold spell damage will leech

[torpid trail]

Woven flesh unique + dev orb/smite

Will it work ?

[brittle atlas]

Yes

[frigid orbit]

yeah. woven flesh does not specify any specific type for leech. so all damage which '
'overkils' an enemy will generate leech

[torpid trail]

Glorious

[brittle atlas]

I would say generally sentinel has no real need for woven flesh late game tho

Especially void knight since it gets so much leech in tree and all sentinels have great access to crit avoidance implicits/passives

It’s super easy to cap crit avoid on sentinel without using any suffix slots

[torpid trail]

Much appreciated thx

[blissful anvil]

Just picked up the game and interested in a playthrough to learn mechanics and systems. Any OP/meta builds that would allow for ease of leveling and entrance to endgame without complex game knowledge?

[ripe sundial]

What are the best builds this patch? I finally got a character to level 80+ echoes and got nice drops for the build. Was wondering what I could farm atm

[spare pond]

So I'm working on a build thats main goal is to cast lightning blast as fast as possible (think classic poe arc build),does anyone know how the double cast/quad cast nodes in the tree would affect cast speed?

[pearl epoch]

Does anyone know if the item pool is weighted, in regards to using a Rune of Ascendance?

[brave ibex]

It doesn't affect your cast speed. The target just gets hit again

[spare pond]

Ah gotcha, thanks. Didn't know if it was something that would like lock you into extra animations or anything

[acoustic thicket]

yes it's weighted the same way they are if the unique would have dropped.

[frigid orbit]

I think there is nothing in the game right now that is working like spell echo. Always more or less cast on crit. Ans sometimes you don't even have to spent the mana.,

[acoustic thicket]

there's unleash

[spare pond]

Cool. Yeah I knew there were plenty of triggers. Thank you!

[acoustic thicket]

Self cast Maelstrom has Unleash as one of it's nodes, doesn't up the mana cost either.

[spare pond]

And I guess, follow up to that, do you by chance know if these multicasts would always chain to the same enemies or could the chain to different targets?

[frigid orbit]

But at least no spell echo where you have to spent the "cast time"

[spare pond]

Like would it count as 2 instances of lightning blast with separate targeting or would it still be a single instance and the damage is just applied twice to the same targets

[frigid orbit]

I'm not sure. But most of the time the game will tell you if it cannot hit the same target again. Did you try it at the target dummy?

[spare pond]

I haven't yet but I'll definitely be taking the nodes and see if I can test it out👍

[spare pond]

So from the looks of it, when the doublecast procs, it triggers a separate instance of the spell. The doublecast can definitely damage the same initial target and from the bit I've seen so far, it will try to target the same initial target as the original cast but can chain to different enemies than the original cast chained to.

[solar sluice]

Is adaptive spell damage an actual modifier on items? I haven't seen it yet.

[shadow pulsar]

I don't think's a crafting affix, if that's what you mean.

[spare pond]

I think I've only seen it as an implicit mod on certain bases

[frigid orbit]

There are some rare and most of them class specific like adaptive spell damage for totems, adaptive spell damage while channellin, ... for storm corws, ... for tempest strike

[solar sluice]

So when a build says it wants Adaptive Spell damage, what am I looking for on items?

[dense root]

adaptive spell damage is a regular affix that you can craft on rares

[frigid orbit]

adaptive spell damage is the same damage type as the tag of the skill. if you have a fire skill, adaptive spell damage will be fire spell damage

[dense root]

it appears on one handed swords

[frigid orbit]

if you have a skill with fire and cold skill all soruces of adaptive spell damamge will split equally to the damage types

[solar sluice]

I guess i just haven't seen it yhet

[dense root]

had to get to computer and boot up game but like this

[dense root]

also this isn't always true

adaptive spell damage splits in the same ratio as the base damage of the skill does

generally this is an equal split but it doesn't actually have to be

[frigid orbit]

today I learned something new. Thanks!

Meaning if a skill adds the fire tag to a cold skill but does not convert the base damage all adaptive spell damage will be cold damage?

[dense root]

i guess so? do any skills add a tag without changing the base damage in some way?

[frigid orbit]

Don't know about a spell. But the paladin's void cleave there is a node that adds the fire tag while not converting the base damage

[solar sluice]

So does adapative spell damage only appear on items over a certain level? I've literally never seen it, nor am I able to craft it?

[dense root]

you can craft it

it appears on one handed swords

[copper fable]

its only on swords, specifically 1 handed ones as a craft. but it is a baseline stat of wands and staves

[dense root]

like it's only on one item so it's rarer than mods that are on multiple types of items

[snow spruce]

Wands and Staves have it as an implicit

[vernal burrow]

the problem with my bladedance i have rn is im in love with the current build and dont want to undo it, but i wanted a second blade dancer which is why i might clone it idk if its possible though someone said it was

[solar sluice]

Is there a list anywhere of what slots different mods can show up on?

[dense root]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/affixes is probably your best bet

[snow spruce]

lastepochtools.com/planner or lastepochtools.com/db/ you can "craft" and explore them there. You can also do this in game in the forge. They're different for each class and item slot.

[solar sluice]

[eternal owl]

For Teleport on Mage, does "Time Dilation" affect "Stable Bubble" and "Wormhole" ?
And on Mana Strike does "Teleporting Strikes" remove the melee tag and add the ranged tag to the skill ?

if i have melee stats on my weapon do they still apply ?

[brittle atlas]

Mana Strike is still a melee skill even when ranged

[eternal owl]

[spare pond]

When would you guys think is a reasonable level to attempt the temporal sanctum to skip to chapter 9?

[acoustic thicket]

Is there anyway to setup autocast without a numpad?

[stone granite]

No

[acoustic thicket]

sadge

[stone granite]

Just play

Autocast isn't a feature for a reason

[acoustic thicket]

I mean, the build I play kinda revolves around having it lol

[stone granite]

No build revolved around it

[acoustic thicket]

That's where you're wrong

[stone granite]

The game isn't designed for autocast in mind

If pressing a button is too hard then gaming ain't your hobby

[dense root]

i sort of assume you can use some extra program (probably ahk) to tell the computer you're inputting numpad numbers without actually using a numpad

[acoustic thicket]

Ah you're one of those people

I didn't even think of trying AHK, good looks days

[snow spruce]

So are the devs... they're specifically redesigning skills to incentivize NOT autocasting.

[dense root]

it is definitely true that autocast is not intended and is more of a side effect of how computers work than it is something the devs want people to do or design around but for better or worse it is here

[acoustic thicket]

Turns out the build I used to play is broken anyways

Oh well

[copper fable]

yeah if your build is autocast focused, expect it to be gone eventually, but till then enjoy it

[dense root]

personally i find it to be too much of a pain since it goes away every time i tab out and i like to do that frequently

[acoustic thicket]

Yeah I haven't played the game in like... 3 or 4 months

Played a void build that autocasted echoes and orb with Gasper's Will and Blade of the Forgotten Knight

Guess they made it so you can't equip a sword and sceptre anymore though so the point is moot anyways

[brittle atlas]

You can

You just need the dual wield passive in sentinel

Let’s you offhand swords

@acoustic thicket

[arctic anvil]

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/item/201anp

how the dueces do people stop the chilled effect?

[chrome temple]

So I'm not sure what class to pick. Originally I was thinking of doing a spin to win build, but now I'm thinking I want something with more meat and thought into it. Any suggestions? I don't mind melee or ranged.

[acoustic thicket]

even spin to win has more to it than just spinning. basically all the versions with warpath use support skill rotations to make you actually have damage

[dense root]

you have anomaly i guess but it’s true that warpath is on the lower end of complexity at least out of the builds i’ve tried so far

i did enjoy it though

[acoustic thicket]

anomaly, volatile reversal. etc. because you need the damage buffs.

[dense root]

i tried reversal but it felt pretty bad

[spare pond]

Glad I'm not the only one who really doesn't care for reversal

[acoustic thicket]

I used it and had no issues mainly cuz i didn't use it for moving really. i used it on bosses after spinning on them for 2 seconds so they'd get the 30% more damage taken and i didn't move

[brittle atlas]

Reversal is OP af

But definitely has some learning curve

[spare pond]

In a warpath build, I dont mind it too much but in most other circumstances, I just don't like the suddenness and uncertainty in the rubberbanding

[brittle atlas]

There isn’t any uncertainty tho, you just have to remember where you were

Which takes some playing with the skill to get used to it and build that familiarity

[dense root]

oddly enough i meant the exact opposite. i've used reversal in other builds and it felt fine i just really didn't like it specifically when i was playing warpath

[spare pond]

Idk, I just dont like having my positioning changed so heavily and rapidly with no direct indicator of where its going to put me. Getting used to the change is one thing but something about the way the skill currently functions just doesnt sit well with me personally

[dense root]

admittedly this was a while back so maybe i'd feel differently if i tried it now

[brittle atlas]

Idk, I personally really like skills like reversal because it feels powerful at a baseline but also has a huge ceiling for mastering the skill. You’re greatly rewarded for getting really good at knowing where it will put you.

More than just using it as a strong debuffing tool it can also become a strong movement skill to quickly reposition out of AoEs or back to a boss after avoiding something

[spare pond]

I dont mind skills rewarding good play and experience, honestly I think its great to get that kind of feeling of potential. There's just something about reversal that feels so jarring to use.

Dont get me wrong, reversal is a ridiculously strong skill and I fully get why its used so heavily. I wish I didn't feel the way I did about it

[vernal burrow]

i need to know this and been wondering for way too long

does the third shot for rouge or with flow deal increased damage with channeled abilities i cant tell

leathal cadence

does that work for channeled

or just the first shot channeled

also can the daggers from cinder strike crit

[brittle atlas]

Doesn’t lethal cadence specify non-channeled?

The daggers from cinder strike are a thrown attack and can crit

[pseudo dust]

I love volatile reversal. Has it gotten me killed? Yes, a number of times. Will I stop? Definitely not

[solar briar]

Can someone explain me what this is mean?

From www.lastepochtools.com

[tender kraken]

Does my poison damage increase/DoT increase apply to my summon's poison as well? Or is it only "minion" prefix

[sly brook]

is there no point in going over 100% crit chance? my hits would always crit except when they dodge or have crit avoidance?

[jovial leaf]

Yes, there is no point to build crit chance higher than 100%.

[merry dock]

Is there any way to see the critical strike rate/multiplier for specific skills ingame?

[balmy current]

There's 1 build that benefits from a higher crit chance than 100% (Disintegrate with Ingvar's Head), but no other build does.

[balmy current]

Not without doing the maths yourself, no.

But with legendaries now almost everything can be good if you get it with enough stats added

[dull rose]

Do we know yet how Level Requirement is calculated when creating legendary items?

[copper fable]

what do you mean

items with lower effective level are more likely to get higher LP values, thats all we know. That effective level is the level the item can be used at sometimes its lower or higher, but we will basically never know how the game "rolls" that LP

[dull rose]

If you convert a low level unique into a legendary, the item's level requirement can go up... but doesn't always

[frosty mirage]

I think they are referring to high tier affix items changing level requirement

[copper fable]

oh thats based on the tier of affix

[dull rose]

how is it calculated? do we know the exact formula? I added a T6 affix to a level 47 item and the level requirement didn't change.

[copper fable]

if you put an exalted mod on an item its gonna be anywhere from 35 to 50 depending on the mod type. Im not sure which mods are lower or higher

my dreamthorn with t6 void damage is 45 but my soulfire with t6 elemental damage overtime is only 35

I think different stats have different higher end values

I dont know where you would find the info but it works that way for all affixes in general as well. a level 0 wand still has its level requirement increased if you craft its tiers high

[dull rose]

Yeah, looking at the item database, it appears that each affix has different level requirements to appear. Example: Gloves Hybrid Health is level 45. So I would guess that if you add hybrid health to gloves, regardless of tier, it would make the gloves level 45 if was lower prior

[copper fable]

ah

[dull rose]

But in the course of normal crafting, there are often times it won't let you add another tier to an affix unless you are a certain level.... so I'm not sure if the level requirement on legendaries is based on the affix level requirement or perhaps a hidden affix tier requirement.

[dull rose]

Okay, so scratch theory #1 on it being affix type level requirement. I looked at item showcase to find some samples. Draalsting requires Level 29 usually. Someone posted one with Melee Attack Speed (T6) and Chance to Poison (T5) and the level requirement went up to 49.

So there is definitely a hidden number associated with specific tiers of affixes that influences the new level requirement

Melee attack speed can appear at level 1 and chance to poison at level 13

[copper fable]

yeah makes sense, like if you take a fresh pair of white leather gloves and rng to level 3 melee attack speed with forge its no longer a level 1 item, im just not sure where you find or learn that info lol

[dull rose]

Yeah I'm hoping that we get that info at some point. It would be good to know when crafting items specifically for leveling use. Like if you get a low level unique with 3 or 4 LP, you may want to keep it low level so you can use it for leveling future alts.

[dense root]

i don't think you're ever crafting an item with 4lp to be a low level

like it's never getting fewer than 4 affixes w/ total tier of at least 9

(also that would be a waste of a 4lp item since those are so rare)

[dull rose]

Someone posted a Fighting Chance on reddit with 4LP - which is what made me think of the question. I don't think I'd ever use it late game... so I'd just want to slap 4 affixes on there and still be able to use it for leveling.

Fighting chance has increased damage taken, which isn't a big deal low levels

[copper fable]

problem is its always got an exalted mod

so its always probably gonna be level 30+

[vernal burrow]

ok so im going to go the dungeon but how do you level it to tier 4 do i have to do it once then upgrade

[dull rose]

yeah complete it once at each tier

[dense root]

beating a tier unlocks the next tier

[vernal burrow]

im going to have to relevel my skills first

[neon saffron]

Newbie question regarding thorn totems: SInce it has Atunement, Minion, Totem tags, are those the affixes/stats that I need on gear to boost their dps? Or do I need Physical/Spell affixes/stats since that are their own tags?

[balmy current]

You need minion phys, minion spell, totem, minion damage & attunement stats.

[neon saffron]

ahh ok didnt know theres +phys and +minion phys each seperately, thanks!

[arctic anvil]

So how does max Shock and Lightning Pen work together?

If you have max shock, lightining pen will still give damage?

I am the confused since shock reduces their resistance, does penetration penetrate a non-existent resistance?

[brittle atlas]

Yes. Penetration is just another additive flat reduction to their effective resist

So max shock stacks is -100, then if you have 20% pen the enemy has -120 effective resist

[woven token]

Hi guys, some have or know if exist a filter for all characters?

I mean to use the same filter with all characters

[vapid aspen]

It's possible, but the limit on number of parts means it's not going to be a good filter and will require tons of tweaking

[woven token]

mmm ok thanks mate

[vapid aspen]

I used to have something that was really universal but I was using the bug that allowed you to bypass the limit

[woven token]

if im playing VK , i wanna to loot items possible for other classes

[vapid aspen]

Basically you want to show rare affixes for shatter, show bases with higher total affix tier (like 14+ seems to be pretty good), and then only show those if they have a good base

[woven token]

thanks mate

[dreamy blade]

so in the monoliths, is it smart to complete a monolith after "Open portal" button appears? or is it wise to open portal and go to next monolith ?

[copper fable]

For optimal gameplay you ideally want to do as many nodes as you can in your playtime, more nodes means more bosses, more special rewards etc. But thats only if you are trying to be maximum optimal

You can play it however you feel and just go with what you wanna do, in some of the thicker density maps I run a bit past the objective just cause I can pull lots of mobs.

So its just how you feel basically. 🙂

[dreamy blade]

sure, thanks for that 🙂

[brittle atlas]

Yeah, efficiency wise, you may as well portal out immediately

Doesn’t make much sense to be killing enemies or moving through a zone when it’s not contributing to completing an objective

By leaving immediately to start a new echo you effectively get to multitask

Both killing enemies that drop loot and progressing an echo objective with additional loot

And progressing stability towards another boss kill

[arctic anvil]

AKA pen is still good even with crazy amounts of shock, cool

[brittle atlas]

Yep. The only penetration that isn’t good is poison because poison gets significantly more shred than anything else

[arctic anvil]

OH WAIT THE PEN ON TREE HAS SPELL LEECH AND I'M LOW LIFE, BLESSED GAME

[shadow coral]

Is there a way to see the dps of a dot spell?

[noble sage]

Do people do Holy Grails in Last Epoch?

[brittle atlas]

A few people have done them

I started one in the downtime between 082 and 083

My non-solo stash is super close to having at least 1 of everything, just missing a few timeline boss uniques I haven’t put in the time to get yet

LE tools has a checklist if you want an easy way to keep track of what you have without needing to recheck stash

[noble sage]

I was tempted at starting development for a LE Holy Grail tool, but I was wondering if people were happy with the tool that's on LE Tools.com
and/or if a more specialized tool would be helpful

[brittle atlas]

Hmm, what would a more specialized tool do differently?

[acoustic thicket]

do people think the new crafting system is bad?

[brittle atlas]

It’s much much easier to make T20+ items now

But from what I’ve heard it’s a bit harder to craft while leveling

[acoustic thicket]

i'm only in my lvl 20's but i've got all of my gear through crafting but it might not be representative of endgame at all lmao

[frigid orbit]

You can 'save' items so much better and craft on so many more items with the potential to get something good using the new glyph of chaos ❤️

[brittle atlas]

Yeah glyph of chaos is massive

[acoustic thicket]

what it do?

[copper fable]

its pretty bad in terms of just making "average" items. I dunno for me personally, I could make a 4 prop t2 item literally with 0 chance of fail in the old system, now you basically need to have affixes to start crafting, but ive been filtering my items to be 2 affixes of the 4 I need even at t1, and I can often times just craft to t20 lol.

[frigid orbit]

Changes the stat randomly while upgrading it

[brittle atlas]

Randomly changes an affix to another

[acoustic thicket]

oh i thought it was like a poe chaos orb

[copper fable]

I overall like the new system more, but making twink rares for leveling is harder 😏

[frigid orbit]

In difference to before you now should craft more on rare/exalted gear and not on blues anymore

[brittle atlas]

Yeah

[acoustic thicket]

wait

[brittle atlas]

Blues can still be OK, but exalted items is just free T20 always in my experience

[acoustic thicket]

so i can uchaos to change an affix i dont want to something that could be good?

[copper fable]

yes

[acoustic thicket]

oh

i vendored some items cause had 1 bad affix

probably shouldnt be using it at lower levels anyways

[frigid orbit]

It makes it so much better when you finally find a T7 item you were chasing and at least have some cahnges to turn it into something useable 🙂

[acoustic thicket]

got it

i asked because i saw one comment somewhere i dont remember where that claimed the system was trash

i think it was a negative steam review

[copper fable]

it most certainly is very different, if you try and craft like you did before you will fail really badly

so that initial learning curve made people lose their minds

[frigid orbit]

There will always people who complain. If you give them autoloot they will complain that they still get bad items and not only useful ones.

[brittle atlas]

Ye idk, crafting system now seems free af

Alongside the dungeon for so many exalted bases

[copper fable]

I think the hardest part is that you have to change how you filter items a bit

[brittle atlas]

It’s really easy to get super good items rn

[acoustic thicket]

i wonder if they will nerf it before implementing trading

[brittle atlas]

I haven’t changed my filter at all tbh

[acoustic thicket]

👀

[brittle atlas]

But it was already quite strict before

[copper fable]

like ill be real, dammits planner was okay before for the filter, now its kinda bad because it only shows bases that have two affixes you want at t3 as "pog". but now you can honestly make items that start with 2 of your affixes even at t1 really cracked

So you might be missing out on good items because you are filtering out "low" tiers when really tier of affix basically does not matter now

[acoustic thicket]

whats the max tier right now?

[brittle atlas]

My filter is still 2 of <list> on <specific base> with item total tier 8+

For each base type I care about

[dense root]

t5 is highest you can craft. t6/t7 are drop only affixes. nothing higher

[frigid orbit]

They could only do this because of the introduction of LP on legendaries. Creating a new 'chase level'. But people are already complaining that they are to rare. You should probably never plan a build around a rare legendary with a specific LP affix.

While I also think that it is to random (and has a little too much power potential) I like this chases to find items which enable builds 😄

[brittle atlas]

Yeah, LP is super motivating to me

[acoustic thicket]

is there something like a scouring orb that makes the item white again?

[brittle atlas]

No

[dense root]

i think they removed that

[acoustic thicket]

just spam removals?

[brittle atlas]

It actually got removed

[dense root]

it wouldn't do anything with the current crafting system anyway

since adding a t1 affix sucks

like i guess you could use a new rune of discovery but eh

[brittle atlas]

Removals are annuls basically, but it’s not worth to annul the item to white unless you want to reclaim the affixes on it

Like crafting from white isn’t gonna work

[acoustic thicket]

👍

thx

[frigid orbit]

Farming LP Frostbite Shackles right now. In two days I got one with 1LP (wrong affix transfered) and 5 Omnis...^^

[brittle atlas]

I’ve been looking for 2LP Yulia’s Path

[dense root]

don't all the boots have really high lpl?

[brittle atlas]

Yulia’s is 79 iirc

So yeah, pretty rare

But if I can get a decent forge on 2LP Yulia’s then I’ve got boots for basically every character

[frigid orbit]

Yeah. The stats are pretty decent

I'm so happy I got lucky with my 1LP snowdrifts first try...

[brittle atlas]

It’s basically a triple suffix item just by default

Just needs the extra movement speed and any HP affix

And I’d be happy

Honestly even if they don’t hit extra MS

5x suffix boots could free up stats elsewhere

For example letting me drop endurance % blessing to get necrotic res shred

[copper fable]

im so sad, my LP last steps, I had movespeed, exalted void res, and health and % armor. I literally didnt care what I got other then armor

I got the armor...

😔

its %armor too, actually so sad

[brittle atlas]

I’ve got boots with exalted move speed, vit, hybrid hp, crit avoid that I mirrored so hopefully with two shots I can hit the movement speed

[frigid orbit]

I could trade you 5 1LP and 1 2LP lasts steps if possible. Farming for the frostbite shackles at least gives this. But dont know what to do with them at the moment...

[copper fable]

oh I didnt think of that, Im stealing that tech

mirror exalted items to feed to LP

[brittle atlas]

Ye

[copper fable]

[brittle atlas]

I’ve only got a few rune of creation so far

But those boots definitely earned one

Since exalted move speed is so rare

[frigid orbit]

Yes. That was my lucky shot on my snowdrifts. Got T6 MS. Especially great because I cannot utilize the dex-ms on them and they were pretty slow before xD

[winter basalt]

Lightning werebear is still good enough to use right?

[woven token]

You can deal 100k damage in this game? i always hit like 10k and im upgrading my gear

[dense root]

you can definitely do 100k

you can even hit the millions

[woven token]

okey

[fierce olive]

how long will it take to resolve the LE-24 Error after a ticket is posted?

[eternal owl]

on Mana Strike, does "Mana Drain" take place before "Teleporting Strikes" and "Transfusion" ? also I think I know the answer but I'll ask anyway, before "Mind Warden" as well ?

[viral dust]

Does heavenfire and sanctuary guardian's adaptive spell damage with shield apply for using a "catalyst"?

for paladin class

[brittle atlas]

No, a catalyst isn’t a shield

[viral dust]

alright, thanks for that, I was figuring it wouldn't work

[vernal burrow]

how do i do harder temporal santum tries i did it on the first diffiuclty

[dense root]

you unlock each tier by beating the tier before it

[vernal burrow]

how do i change it

or does it do it automatically

[dense root]

when you put the key in the door part of the ui is the menu for selecting dungeon tier

[vernal burrow]

oh sorry i have a short memory/ i never did the higher tier

yeah sorry bad memory

[viral heart]

100% bleed duration vs 50% bleed effectivenes?

[snow spruce]

both are effectively a multiplier

[viral heart]

i understand. which one is the prefference

[snow spruce]

I mean, that depends. How much of each do you already have? They're multiplicative with eachother, so if you have none of one, and some of the other, then take the one you don't have already.

At the end of the day, if you're just asking which one to take given those values, 100% duration is better just because its more than 50% effectiveness. So in isolation bigger numbers win out.

[brittle atlas]

Depends how quickly you kill enemies as well

If stuff isn’t living long enough to ramp up to your peak bleed stacks then effectiveness will give you more dps

[viral heart]

thank you for the feedback!

[bronze ocean]

hey guys, if somebody has a char that has any item with sealed affix (preferably with less than 4 normal affixes), please send me this char

[rare pewter]

anyone know what happens/what the interaction is between the aura node and the no consecrated ground node is in the judgement tree for paladin?

[solar juniper]

what should i put on this? am on a harvest crit lich

got two of them

[sterile maple]

hey guys any nice and smooth build guide for new player ?

[rare pewter]

check youtube

[sterile maple]

@rare pewter most of the builds require some special items ;/

[rare pewter]

not really

there are 1-75 leveling guides on youtube per class

then when you start getting some special items you can tweak your spec

[snow spruce]

You honestly don't need one... you can just jump into the game and play without a guide, and you should do decently well.

[sterile maple]

then u can change your passive tree and skills ?

[snow spruce]

Yes

[rare pewter]

passive is easy, yes

mastery you cant

skills within the mastery you can

[sterile maple]

then i need to know which mastery to choose then

[rare pewter]

then skill specialization you can, but you need to level the skills again

[snow spruce]

All skills can be despecialized/specialized/move points around.

[sterile maple]

otherwise i need new character

[snow spruce]

Only some skills are gated behind a mastery class (anything 25 points or above, and the mastery skill that's unlocked when you choose it)

[sterile maple]

but anyway any recomendation ? i was thinking about earthquake

[rare pewter]

druid then

you can level until endgame with upheaval, then farm the boss for the special item (not hard). then go change from upheaval to EQ werebear

[sterile maple]

any good guide to not fucked up while lvling ?

[rare pewter]

you really dont really need a guide

dual wield weapons with dual flat dmg modifiers until you get the special mace

thats it

[sterile maple]

still im afraid about passive tree ( not skills because i know skills u can reset and lvl up again)

[rare pewter]

passive tree can be reset easily

get to 20 on the base primalist tree, then start working on the druid mastery passives.

[dreamy blade]

is there any point/reason to do echoe's quests again in lev 58 monolith, after i've completed all 3 ?

[dusky kite]

Yes if you want to unlock the other path from it, otherwise for non-empowered that's a no

[civic niche]

is there some mod or something else not sure how u call it, that u can test skills/specializations/ etc?

[frosty mirage]

I mean, it’s already basically free to completely retool and an experience node at level 100 will basically get all of your respecced skill levels to 20 instantly

[civic niche]

i see, i see i just want to see all skills and their specialization options

[frosty mirage]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/

Now it won’t let you play/test in terms of being in-game and testing with the test dummy but this site has a ton of information along with tunklabs

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/

[snow tusk]

is there a reason why my wolf sometimes has is named "Terri" or "Primal Wilf"?

[frosty mirage]

Little Easter eggs

[civic niche]

ty daed

[vernal burrow]

does that purple have to be the same item as the unquie

[balmy current]

It needs to be the same item type (1h sword, 2h axe, catalyst, etc) not the same base type (katana, gladius, etc)

[vernal burrow]

that is really frustating

but yeah

[foggy parrot]

do echo modifiers apply to the 3rd echo bosses in timelines?

[vernal burrow]

it makes sense but

[balmy current]

Yes

[foggy parrot]

are they considered Rare monsters?

[balmy current]

No, they're bosses

[foggy parrot]

okay thanks

[neon saffron]

Are tomes of experience auto-applied after completing an echo or are they an item?

[dusky kite]

you gotta pick them up

[sterile maple]

how can i use dual weapon on primalist ?

[neon saffron]

Weird can't see to see them

[brittle atlas]

Take the node in the primalist tree

[dusky kite]

there is a perk that enables dw

in passives

[brittle atlas]

They’re dropped from the golden egg bonus loot thing

Drops three of them and they’re auto pickup when you walk over them

[neon saffron]

Ohh ok, and how can I access them?

[brittle atlas]

They’re auto applied when you pick them up

[neon saffron]

Alright ty

[sterile maple]

what about lvling primalist guys ? im using upheaval but dont have enough mana ;/ later i want to go for earthquake

[brittle atlas]

I generally use swipe + wolves and later crows

[sterile maple]

im new in game and this skill have got good clear then i was thinking will be good to go through

how can i have more wolves etc ?

[brittle atlas]

There’s nodes in wolves for extra max wolves, the claw/fang amulet

[sterile maple]

which one is better crows or wolves ?

[clear patrol]

Does health regen and leech stack together?

[sly brook]

what corruption can i do julra t4?

[brittle atlas]

Depends more on build than anything else

I’d say clearing mobs like 100-150 ish equivalent

Boss is like... 300-400 equivalent

[sly brook]

i can do t3 but i did little to no damage to t4

yea that seems reasonable

i really thought i had already a good build lol

[brittle atlas]

I generally swap to crows when I get them

[sterile maple]

@brittle atlas can u send me some tree how to upgrade sweep and crows ? i mean as a skill

[brittle atlas]

I’m not at my pc currently, so no. But basically get the aspect of the panther nodes in swipe, the global damage, attack speed, and melee damage

Some points in the leech

Crows get the buff nodes... wisdom of the storm or whatever they’re called

[sterile maple]

what about in crows there is any to have more of them ?

[brittle atlas]

You always get crows = your max companions

[sterile maple]

and sweep with 2h weapon or dual ?

[brittle atlas]

I generally dual wield

You could go 2H staff tho maybe if you’re wanting to use upheaval too

[snow tusk]

where do you guys get resists from? Idols?

[nimble bone]

Rings, boots and gloves are good source

Pretty much anywhere, where you dont have core stats

[copper fable]

Blessings if you are minmaxing out the butt

[snow tusk]

as if i know what a blessing is lol

[nimble bone]

True, blessings are probably easiest way to get res capped

[snow tusk]

they are in "other" on the database, are they crafting materials?

[nimble bone]

Its a reward after you finish Monolith

[snow tusk]

so you need a blessing node on the monolith?

[nimble bone]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/KBapzrQv
Check for example this build, on right side you can see "Blessings"

[snow tusk]

oh you equip them like idols?

I haven't unlocked those yet it seems

I'm only doing monoliths to level atm because big snake lady does phys damage and I need phys resists

[nimble bone]

No, they are in their own place, you can see them when you open map in End of Time

[snow tusk]

do they have their own node on the monolith like runes and gold do?

[nimble bone]

Near each monolith there is an empty slot, where you can get rewards after you finish monolith, you can only have 1 Blessing per Monolith

[brittle atlas]

Blessings are from killing the last boss in the quest echoes

[nimble bone]

No, you only recieve Blessing after you complete 3rd chapter of Monolith on the left side

[brittle atlas]

You get a choice of three (up to five in empowered)

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/timelines

[snow tusk]

ah ok so I need to kill big snake lady

[brittle atlas]

You don’t need to, you can access monoliths at any time after you get to the End of Time zone

[nimble bone]

You can also skip her if you feel like fight is too hard for you, go straight to endgame and return to kill her once you are stronger

[sterile maple]

any good guide for earthquake ? because i dont know which guy on yt have best one ?

[brittle atlas]

Lizard IRL or Amarathy would be the two Id check first

[nimble bone]

There is Bear Earthquake, if thats what you are interested in

[brittle atlas]

I’m pretty sure they both have guides for it

[nimble bone]

Boardman21 has one for Bear maul earthquake

[sterile maple]

but i need to check the very last one right ?

not from the old patches ?

[nimble bone]

Just make sure its 0.8.4

Otherwise there might be changes from 8.3

[sterile maple]

i think i start following https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcnabmPxFD4

[nimble bone]

Yep that one is quite nice

[sterile maple]

but i dont know i think is low life version then will be hard to do right ?

[nimble bone]

You need few uniques for low life, i think

[sterile maple]

yhym will be difficult , and i can respec passives later right ? i dont need new character or anything like that ?

[dense root]

the only thing you can't change is your choice of mastery

[nimble bone]

Very easy to respec, you shouldnt worry

[dense root]

changing passives costs gold and changing skills just needs you to relevel the new skills but that's really fast

[sterile maple]

ok thats good thanks guys

for earthquake i need to take druid then

as a main masterclass ?

because on that video he have points in every single spec

somehow

[dense root]

you can put points in every mastery

but for ones which aren't the one you picked you can only use the first half of the tree

there's a big vertical chain that shows where you can go up to

[nimble bone]

First 2 skills are for all masteries, as long as you put point in there

[sterile maple]

yea i can see that nice one understand straight away more

but im wondering why he follow only masterclass for 30pts not more

maybe i should follow different guy then

[nimble bone]

Maybe there are better passives in other trees

[static glacier]

There are quite some builds that dont really invest a lot in the tree of its pick

Sometimes you only want the mastery bonus or the one exklusive skill

[sterile maple]

well im new in the game thats why im asking many questions etc ;/

sorry for being pain in ass anyway ;p

but lvling is very bad with this sweep omg ;p

[static glacier]

Swipe? Oh boy at least it doesnt look super boring anymore

[sterile maple]

yea swipe

anyway i watched few videos about builds etc and this one look decent earthquake one

[nimble bone]

Leaping with Vines was fun

[sterile maple]

rest of them or u have to slam 1000buttons and they look (shit)

but like i said i like smooth builds look good coudn't see any only the earthquake

but probably that is lack of knowledge in this game

[nimble bone]

Primalist has many good builds

[sterile maple]

@nimble bone nice one "has" ^^

[nimble bone]

If i said it wrong sorry, not my first language :p

[regal osprey]

Does cast speed affect the rate of channeled ability firing?

Like fireball flamethrower, for instance

[brave ibex]

No

[main dagger]

ok, is 'mana spent gained as ward' shard really good? especially for a sorcerer build?

[regal osprey]

I've been using it for my build seems to be good for me

Depends on build though I guess

I use high mana cost skills only

[main dagger]

i am working on high casting speed

mostly lightning blast and nova

[brittle atlas]

It’s decent but not great for that build

You need to be spending a lot of mana pretty quickly to make it super worthwhile

[main dagger]

i don't have great armor, just high dps

[regal osprey]

I spam glacier which I've made to have 40~ mana cost so I can get 70 ward per cast with the passive, on top of ward gained from ana cost

[brittle atlas]

Like a hundred or more mana per second

[main dagger]

i tend to take a bit of damage now in my 50s

still kind of new to the game

[regal osprey]

If you are high speec aster with low mana cost, I think ward per second shard will be better

[main dagger]

thank you. i don't have a vast collection of shard yet and i'm trying to think through on crafting better.

[static glacier]

I can burn 160 mana with shatterstrike in sub 2 seconds

But even at that point i dont think its really good

Compared to ward on hit thats still no huge ammount

Or ward per second

[sly brook]

how would you upgrade your empowered blessings?

[static glacier]

Do the timeline again?

[atomic robin]

if anyone knows. i was checking out Lizard IRL's EQ wherebear but he doesnt skill EQ at all and just ignores putting points in it and instead puts points into beastmaster. isnt that super redundant in terms of damage

[brittle atlas]

You want points in BM for aspect of the boar

He probably specializes EQ and then specs out of shaman

But you get to keep the skill spec

[sterile maple]

well i will have same problem probably ;p

[atomic robin]

oh really

[sterile maple]

then i will read what u talking about ;p

[atomic robin]

is that suppose to be like that ?

that sounds broken

[brittle atlas]

No, but it’s been like that for a long time

[static glacier]

Just another broken snapshot 😬

[brittle atlas]

Yep

[atomic robin]

well, ill just do that for now then xD

Thank you ^^

[sterile maple]

sounds weird but anyway hopefully it will work

which lvl u usually finishing campaign ?

[brittle atlas]

I generally finish around 50-54 ish depending on how much I kill along the way
