[wheat saddle]

because guaranteed no crit helps you to understand how much damage you can take

[thin iron]

I've always made crit avoidance a priority, yes. Good to know, though, thanks.

[kind star]

Poison is another res to not stress over. Very few sources of it and most the time it's a pool on the ground and don't stand in it.

[thin iron]

Thanks. It's a bit of an uphill battle because I've spent nearly a decade on games where not capping resists means I might as well feed my character into a woodchipper right now.

[solar juniper]

Also if your build specialises in farming smth specific (for example dungeon) you can ignore certain resistances (dont need necro for julra etc.)

[wheat saddle]

i thiink poison is actually pretty important, it wasnt the case until sanctum existed

because those missiles from snakes are poison damage

i would cap it for sure

i would leave necrotic to 0

[jade holly]

If a node on a skill gives physical damage penetration (like wounding ambush for lethal mirage) does that apply to bleed stacks caused by that attack?

[cloud kindle]

I'd say yes, but unsure

[fathom prairie]

any idea when this thing is going to be done? were four years in and 8.4 out of 1.0 at that rate were slated for christmas of this year

[frosty mirage]

Yes unless the node specified “on hit”

In your example it would apply to bleed

[stone granite]

Some games take much longer to develop. It's released when the devs feel like it's appropriate but a game like this is never "done"

[fathom prairie]

@stone granite totally get that but this is turning into another wolcen

[dense root]

wolcen had much less content while in beta than this game does

[stone granite]

That's just overly dramatic and false

[marsh maple]

I've been playing this game for 2 years now and I'll have to say it feels almost launch quality already. Wolcen didn't feel like this at any time during it's development. This is much closer to a finished game.

[ripe tiger]

wolcen is a low bar

[ashen holly]

how long would it take to farm up an omnividence? I'm new but in awe at the sight of the omnividence on the subreddit

[midnight timber]

its a rare-ish random drop... best chance to get it is is empowered stolen lance with the unique staff nodes and the unique/2h staff rate blessings 🙂

with some corruption to boost the rarity

took me 120-ish hours to get one... but you might get one in your first lvl 70+ echo 🙂

[ashen holly]

oh god nevermind then

I didn't realise uniques were that uncommon

I thought maybe just those ravenous void ones were

[midnight timber]

depends on the build, but you can do most of them just fine without that staff

most uniques aren't that bad... there are a few that rare, and a few even worse 🙂

[ashen holly]

Indeed yeah, my current autobomber build is doing fine without uniques but that legendary omni post looked way better than my current staff

[midnight timber]

yeah... my vk autobomber was lvl 100 and pushing 300 corruption before the first one dropped for me... but I have poor rng most of the time 🙂

[ashen holly]

fair enough, ty for the help 🙂

[midnight timber]

good luck 🙂

[ashen holly]

btw how well geared do I need to be for the tier 4 dungeon?

on an autobomber build

[midnight timber]

thats subjective... but I could clear it just fine with 2k health, good resists and 100% crit avoid

the boss is a long slow mechanical fight without lots of dps though 🙂

[ashen holly]

I guess I'll prioritise crit avoid then

[midnight timber]

you'll want that for empowered monos too

[ashen holly]

I see, I'll work on that then cheers

[midnight timber]

can max it with a blessing and winged helm, with good rolls

[ashen holly]

should I work on unlocking all the blessings before attempting T4 then?

[midnight timber]

ehhh up to you 🙂 the important ones are down the right side... the left side blessings mostly are the ones that buff drop rates

I just focus on the stats I need/want, other than pushing to unlock empowered for exp

[ashen holly]

oh thats lucky, I only went down the right side when unlocking the empowered monos

[midnight timber]

iirc, crit avoidance is one of the blessings from reign of dragons

[ashen holly]

Indeed it is, 50-70% wow

at the empowered level that is

I think I got the 30-45 one

[midnight timber]

can get up to 35% on the winged helm implicit

[ashen holly]

sounds doable, ty 🙂

[slow kernel]

is reign of winter still a 50% drop from regular age of winter? got the helm 6 times in a row now which is <2%, i guess it's possible

[static glacier]

like ALL the uniques are tons more common than ravenous void

its one of rarest items in game

together with stuff like orians eye

[stone granite]

I could be wrong but I thought the 50% chance was only empowered

[split phoenix]

Hey guys o/ Like everyone else I have been patiently awaiting and excited for the multiplayer release. I heard from a friend that 1.0 and thus multiplayer is slated for April, is this true?

[tawny marten]

hey guys, what happens if i delete the LE account i've linked to my steam account? Will i be able to connect it to another one?

I mean can I change the ownership of my license

[raw fern]

I don't know where he got that info, but it's rather false. There was no official relese date set.

Also multiplayer testing will be before 1.0

Today, i hope, will be Monthly Development Update for MP

Here's the last month update: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/multiplayer-progress-update-december-2021/47102

[split phoenix]

Thanks!

[night locust]

Anyone having troubles woth streaming the game on discord? Mine closes as soon as i start the stream, plays flawlessly otherwise.

[raw fern]

For me, increasing the virtual memory in windows fixed all Last epoch crashes, example article: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-change-virtual-memory-size-windows-10

[stone granite]

I've never had an issue streaming, instability can be a number of issues

[ashen holly]

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but is this good for a VK autobomber build? if so, how should I craft on it? (its T1 anomaly btw)

I also have a 1LP decayed skull if its better used on that?

[rustic juniper]

New still trying to figure out how DPS calcs work fully how is so much stronger than for werebear maul? Its like a 7k tooltip difference.

[green vault]

can you get Herald of the scurry from rune of ascendance?

[balmy current]

Yes

[green vault]

swert. thanks

[balmy current]

Which one is stronger? Alluvion has much higher flat damage but it generally sucks balls

[rustic juniper]

The Alluvion is way higher even on the test dummy as well. Kinda odd.

[balmy current]

It has a lot more flat damage

All the % increased damage in the world won't do you any good if you don't have any flat damage

[night locust]

ill try. the game runs flawlessly, just streaming makes it crash istantly.

[dim crater]

I I find an item with 3LP does that mean I need to use 3 exaulted items on it or it recives 3 stars from the item it eats?

[mystic acorn]

3 stats from 1 item

[dim crater]

Ty

[versed tangle]

who uses bow other then marksman?

[mystic acorn]

Does a mana strike hit with flat melee cold damage count as a cold hit for the purpose of the modifier "N% chance to apply Frostbite on Cold Hit"?

[stone granite]

Marksman only class with bow skills

[versed tangle]

then why NIGHTBRINGER has 'added bow void damage' while marksman dont have any void related skill....?

[marsh maple]

its more of a flavor thing

[versed tangle]

oh.. better than nothing...

[marsh maple]

a more complete answer

marksman has a lot of increased bow damage %

so your flat type doesnt matter technically

other than stuff like shred

[frosty mirage]

They also revealed an upcoming unique on the dev stream a couple weeks back in which there is going to be a bow associated directly with Nightbringer that will create a really interesting combo along with the smokescreen skill.

[marsh maple]

oh ok

cool

[frosty mirage]

It’s one that I think you’ll have a lot of fun with Dread

[marsh maple]

do you have a picture of it?

[frosty mirage]

Tried looking for it but I think it was in the stream 3 weeks ago which isn’t available, I remember there was a smokescreen skill increase as well as Multishot. It further interacted with the blind ailment and I want to say also had a void component. I just remember seeing that and immediately having Nightbringer make sense with it

[vale thicket]

Hey I have a big question. Does "allies" include minions?

Like something that affects "allies" mean minions as well?

[foggy onyx]

yes

it also includes yourself

[vale thicket]

Then it seems javelin banner is bugged atm

Does not affect minions whatsoever

I have 36 attunement which should be 4 x 36 = 144% more damage for any minions inside it

Which is defintely not happening

But do correct me if its not supposed to buff minions in the first place.

[balmy current]

Depends, it doesn't always include yourself.

If it's a minion ability that refers to "allies", then yes, that'd be you. If it's one of your abilities then probably not.

[vale thicket]

It does buff myself but my minions don't get buffed

I sent a ticket in, either the skill is bugged or the text is wrong.

Like its not even like a occasional bug, the skill just doesn't affect minions

[balmy current]

Which skill?

[vale thicket]

Jav banner

It does NOT buff my minions at all and I assumed "allies" included minions which someone said it did

I have 36 attunment so the banner should give a 144% damage boost the all "allies" but I can assure you my minions aren't getting that.

[balmy current]

Ah, that should affect your minions. You should post it as a bug, not as a support ticket

!bug

[ripe brook]

Please post bug reports on our forum: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/bug-reports. Thank you. :smile:

[vale thicket]

Thanks

[ashen holly]

Hi, quick question, I managed to get this after two runes of removal for my VK autobomber build. Does anyone have suggestions for how to finish the craft, and is it worth speccing into the ignite nodes in the smite tree with this (respeccing out of crit chance/crit multi I guess)?

[dim crater]

That’s pretty

[tidal coyote]

it's cute but I don't see much synergy between the base, the void damage, and ignite. all VK can do with ignite to my knowledge is convert it to slow, so there's no way to make it scale with your void damage scaling.

you would certainly lose damage if you take out pts to focus on the ignite

staff bases are quite strong now, and smite benefits a lot from levels. I'd think a dragon staff or gate staff would do a lot more for you, likely even with just t5 %dmg

[balmy current]

A Dragon Staff would only give levels if Smite isn't converted to Void since the passive skill conversion overrides the skill point conversion

But it's still a good base with a lot of base damage

[ashen holly]

That makes sense, thank you. I meant mostly through the ignite smite nodes on the left side of the smite tree, but I guess maybe not then

I'll try finding a better staff (though this is already an upgrade over what I had before)

[tidal coyote]

yeah just use the void dmg prefix and ignore hte suffix

[versed tangle]

how do you guys record this game? geforce now doesnt work for me even in fullscreen mode

[stone granite]

OBS

[fierce kraken]

I use Radeon Relive

[night locust]

question about legendaries - the system is clear in how it works - but if i don't have a 4lp item, how are the affixes chosen? does the T6/T7 get priority over something else or it's totally random?

[gaunt hedge]

100% random

[night locust]

ok

so investing an exalt on them especially if you have 1lp is a gamble

i'm fine with this and cannot wait to start dropping some

(i keep making new characters to try new stuff lol)

[static glacier]

usually esp. on low potential rare items you aim for a "consume item" with 1+ exa with your dream affixe and 3 t5 affixes that are "at least good"

so you cant get a "total fail"

[night locust]

yeah i imagined something like this. I dropped a +3 hungering sould 79% spell dmg exalt helm and i want to keep it for legendary

i just need to roll the other stuff (which isn't terrible but not stellar either

i'm trying a caster/total fire acolyte build and so far it's going good, at leastw ith the synergies. we'll see later on.

[gilded ibex]

Does void cleave's ravaging Aura change to fire with hellish chasm perk?

[balmy current]

Unless specified, subskills (ie, procs & the like) don't get converted

[gilded ibex]

Okay, thanks, wasnt sure since it said void to fire, but it was a proc so I wasnt certain

[dim crater]

If I wanted to make a character that focuses on ignite do I need gear that increases DOT?

[stone granite]

Yes

[dim crater]

So by that logic I should also focus fire dmg

?

[ornate creek]

Anyone have a good build for primalist that involved druidry, but shapeshifting, not pets?

I was thinking Spriggan. I want magic.

[dim crater]

Eq werebear is fun

[thorn rune]

if any, what defensive stats are mandatory for this game? e.g. in PoE you pretty much always needed cap resists and 4-5k health, in GD you needed cap resists and a lot of DA...what's Last Epoch's version?

[dim crater]

Res seems important. Late game needs crit avoid. I don’t have any chars below 2k health but maybe that’s me

[stone granite]

Health will be lower than PoE, ward is different here, resists matter as always

Only special defense is endurance

Armor resists all damage types, but not DoT, so it's usually really good

[ashen holly]

I'm also new, but from my understanding of resists in this gam, you dont need fully maxed resists. its not like PoE where a character with 50% fire resist takes 100% more damage than a character with 75% fire resist

Instead, everything is balanced around 0% resists because monsters have up to 75% penetration and you can have up to 75% resists, so having 70% instead of 75% in a resist only makes you take a tiny bit more damage

[ashen holly]

(whereas in poe having 70% in a resist is potentially straight up inting)

[solar juniper]

well it depends on what you want to do, if you want to push corruption as high as possible, maxing types of defense is probably best way to go, but if your goal is to farm T4 Julra most efficiently for example, you can forego certain things

[dim crater]

If I have increased fire damage affix does it effect the damage of ignite or would DOT be better?

[snow spruce]

Yes it does, for your second question, look up the ranges of each affix on the same item

[gaunt hedge]

i think dot/fire dmg have the exact same effect on your ignite
i asked a while ago for my frostbite sorcerer if cold is better than dot and i was told they're the same so im guessing its the same for all dmg types vs dot
basically the more specific it is the better, so for u worst one would be elemental dmg and the best one fire dmg over time

[balmy current]

They do, you just care about which one has the biggest number.

[pine hedge]

when patch.. ?

with this per 3 months, LE must get unreal engine 5 some day

[snow spruce]

Its written using Unity... so, that's likely never going to happen. And the patch will be sometime in March (ish). I can't remember if they've announced anything about the date yet.

[pine hedge]

oke then last version of Unity need, and also..... its slow work

[balmy current]

March-ish

[pine hedge]

oke anyway

[stone granite]

https://tenor.com/view/donald-trump-wrong-gif-9806204

[ashen holly]

?

[stone granite]

Resists don't work same as PoE but still very important

You should definitely max them and it's really easy to do

[balmy current]

He's not wrong.

He is, infact, correct.

Which is a surprise from someone who's new.

[stone granite]

It's never correct to downplay the importance of resists and it's bad advice

[balmy current]

Yeah, but if you read what he said you dont need fully maxed resists & its not like PoE where a character with 50% fire resist takes 100% more damage than a character with 75% fire resist that's not wrong

Resists are good, but not as vital as PoE

[idle halo]

If you're telling players to drop 5% HP to overcap some resistance stat, you're effectively decreasing overall EHP

[stone granite]

I would argue that resists are the best defensive layer available. Unlike armor resists reduce damage from DoTs. Unlike endurance resists always reduce damage. HP is not a defensive layer, it's what your defensive layers are protecting. You should always max resists before going for anything else, and you don't have to give up health to get max resists.

[balmy current]

In general, yes, but as Airowird said, it depends what the opportunity cost is. If you can get more EHP from taking something else then that other stat would be better.

[stiff epoch]

What does 'damage bonus taken from critical strikes' mean on an item?

[snow spruce]

Theres a typo in that, but it just means that you take less damage from critical strikes

[stiff epoch]

So 100% that = 100% crit avoidance?

[balmy current]

No, but it reduces the damage from a crit back down to that of a normal hit

But if there are any "when you take a crit" effects, they still occur

[stiff epoch]

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thank you

[balmy current]

While crit avoidance means you avoid the crit (& take a normal hit instead)

[dim crater]

Do you get better blessings with empowered bosses?

Also what mono offers the crit avoid? I have 42ish% right now and keep getting 1 shorted

[dense root]

empowered blessings have higher rolls but offer the same effects, crit avoid is from reign of dragons

[dim crater]

Ty

[stone granite]

It may not be crits killing you if you are dying often.

[dim crater]

I have maxed res and decent crit avoid. They are all one shots that are getting me. Is armor that important?

[gilded current]

Anyone seen this before? has happened to me twice now, only fix is to relog - when it happens I can't kill anything inside of it (the dark circle)

even if I TP out, the circle is still there, only fix I've seen is going back to char screen

[verbal swan]

Heya folks. Some quick questions about damage reflection:

a). If any enemy attacks you with a hit and it is reflected, is that counted as a hit against the enemy? If it's not a hit, does that mean it penetrates enemy armor/other hit damage reductions? How about if it is a hit?

b). Flat damage reflected is physical unless stated otherwise? If so, does it scale with increases to physical damage?

c). Does % damage reflected scale with anything?

d). Does % damage reflected work based on the incoming damage before or after reductions?

[verbal swan]

Alternately, is there a good wiki or some other resource I can find this kind of information for myself?

[dark fox]

Here I found that reflected damage is mitigated, and it's based on the damage you take: https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/affix/percent_damage_reflected

[verbal swan]

Ah, thanks, I should have read that

[stone granite]

Known bug, check forums

[stone granite]

Well armor can help, endurance can help, more life can help. You need multiple layers of defense

[dim crater]

Ty I’ll keep trying to find the issue

[stone granite]

Endurance will reduce damage that takes you below the threshold, so even if it's one big hit from full health it will still help

[balmy current]

Yes, that's a known bug usually with Sigils of Hope

[balmy current]

b) no, reflected damage has no element, it's just "damage" & doesn't scale with anything other than generic damage modifiers from your passive tree.

a) No (it's not a hit), yes (it ignores any damage mitigation mobs have & generally mobs don't have armour/resists unless specifically stated).

[verbal swan]

Thanks

[atomic wind]

I’m confused on respec Epoch Travelers. I have a few skills I need to fine tine, and my passive tree needs fine tuning. For skill trees, do I click each node over and over to despec that node? For the passive tree, the changes are at the front of the tree 🌲- ok, not that kind of tree 😬 so do I start at the right and click my way back down to the first branch on the left?

[stone granite]

Brain lady lets you respec main passive trees. On skills you click despec and choose individual passives one at a time.

[atomic wind]

How does the mechanic play out with 🧠 lady? That was super confusing because I kept getting her saying I couldn’t undo far right nodes?

[stone granite]

You have only 2 things that can stop you: Lack of gold or the passive you are trying to respec is a pre-req for other passives you have and therefore cannot be removed without removing the other passives

[atomic wind]

So I tell her I’m respec’g and click far right node, and assuming I got gold, all is well?

[stone granite]

Should be no issue removing points from far right

[atomic wind]

Ok, will try again

TY for the help

[ashen holly]

Should you always? I've seen top streamers who say stuff like it's valid to forgo other specific resists of you know a character will for instance be a T4 julra boss farmer. And especially starting out/early stages of endgame, I found it wasn't the worst to have some of my resists in the 70's rather than exactly and always 75%+ (as would be the norm in PoE)

Basically what llama and airowird said

[stone granite]

It can take time but when upgrading gear you should be mindful of your resists and try to fill the gaps as you go

My sorcerer is entirely maxed, but my new build is still working on it.... but my new build also has other defensive layers that my sorcerer didn't have access to

[ashen holly]

More importantly, I find it funny that I stated I'm a new player and your reaction was to send a Donald trump gif claiming I'm wrong without elaborating further 🤣

[stone granite]

It's the best meme response ever made

[dense remnant]

while building your character up, absolutely you build for where you are at in your progression

but you shouldn't plan to not have res capped

a julra farmer is potentially something where you can skip certain resists, but i have 0 idea why you'd specifically just have a character that all it can do is julra

the games not that hard

lol

and one of the main reasons you dont need them capped when starting out/early stages of end game, is because 75% is overcapped at certain points :p

And to be a bit more in depth on it, it just comes down to the cost of getting your res's up, and done in a way that balances all your affixes. If you can't get your res's to cap, while balancing all your affixes, its probably costing you to much and you shouldnt

but doing it in a way thats balanced is part of the skill of the game when it comes to levelling efficiently

so you shouldnt ever aim to not be doing it, you should aim to be progressing in a way thats efficient and optimal

there'll be situations where rng screws you and you have to lose something to be more efficient, but you dont aim for that situation

A good example of this is super early on, right at the start of the game. The only res's you benefit from are void, physical, and cold ( a handful of spiders). You don't need any res's at all, but it can be easier with void and phys (and cold is more of a lucky pickup/shard drop res), and the rest dont do anything. Being efficient, you absolutely should get void res at minimum by ruins of welryn, just so you can run through it quicker because you dont get stomped on as much

You dont need that res though, but it's absolutely not as efficient to not put it on over basically anything else, because of the speed it enables in that section of the game

(and obviosuly you might get super bad rng and not have any, and that sucks, but you shouldnt aim to not have any, because again, its not efficient to (because the chance you dont get void res is less than the chance you do, and class depending you can also just get it through implicits or passives))

[stone granite]

Having one character for julra isn't a terrible idea if you plan on making lots of legendaries

[tidal coyote]

75% is never overcapped

[dim crater]

Has anyone ever hit judgement while in the middle of warpath and just completely freeze? Like your stunlocked for a few seconds?

It’s happened to me twice today. First time I thought maybe I was stunned. Second time made me scratch the chin

[atomic wind]

I have no idea what any of that is - lol, but earlier there was about an hour or two, there were these - brief stutters Matrix style. I’m assuming they had server issues

[dense root]

there are no servers

the game is still single player and all the gameplay is done on your computer

[solar juniper]

i typed that bc imo t4 julra with a non cheese build is the most fun gameplay rn, corr pushing is braindead af

[wheat saddle]

how is 75% overcapping?

75% means that you take 0% extra dmg barring shreds

[dark lake]

hello all

and good monday

anybody know a way to out of a permanent stun?

my minions can move but not my necromancer 😦

[runic sonnet]

how to fight monolith lagon? i lv74 75%res still 1 hit die

[stone granite]

You can't be permanently stunned so maybe you are bugged? Restart game

[stone granite]

Every attack he does is telegraphed and easily avoided, keep moving

[runic sonnet]

oh i see, so only way is just avoid every hit

[stone granite]

That's the best way, some hits from bosses you simply don't take

[solar juniper]

As long as its not the waves or mobs one shotting you yeah, just learn the patterns

[dark lake]

i can teleport using map to other place, but i lost all in this last map, i restarted game many time an 50% of time i can solved, but its a problem i having more in this last updates in last 6 month more or less

[dense remnant]

this is probably something to post to the bug section of the forums

it sounds like you arent perma stunned, but have an actual issue

(because perma stun isnt a thing)

[stone granite]

Are you using a gamepad? Or change the left mouse button behavior?

[dark lake]

yes, this last hour i foun a threat in forum that seem my problem or similar

[dark lake]

yes Im using a Xbox360 wirelles gamepad but when problem happens i go to test with mouse

[stone granite]

I would try just playing with mouse for a while

[dark lake]

i will try next time, because controler work very well i dont played with mouse

[winged ridge]

Will there be a weapon swap added? I'd like the idea of having an offensive and defensive set up

[cold plaza]

I remember devs saying that they aren't interested in doing this. For what it's worth, a number of people swap into/out of Bossing Setups, where they might use a Bastion of Honour for mapping, but dual wield for bigger DPS against a boss.

[dim crater]

If someone could explain this in a bit more detail I would sure appreciate it or point me in the right direction. Flame burst. Wtf is even going on there. I understand that it’s an ailment but what?

[snow spruce]

What are you asking about? Flame Burst is a spell, that hits and isn't an ailment... though depending on the source, I suppose it could show up as an ailment on the player to track activation?

[dim crater]

I was told that it was an ailment

Also in dammits planner thing it says ailment

https://www.lastepochtools.com/ailments

That’s what I’m not understanding. Like how does it really work

[snow spruce]

Re-read what it says, its a tracker for the activation of the effect. It should likely be listed as a positive ailment though

[static glacier]

its still an alliment - just on yourself

after you gained 6 stacks on yourself it "casts"

[dim crater]

So the only way to increase that 70 fire damage is through attunement? or does flat fire damage increase it as well?

[snow spruce]

It is affected just like any other skill, so flat fire damage and adaptive spell damage in this case.

Attunement and % increases to fire/spell damage as well plus any skill tree modifiers will affect the damage

[dim crater]

Gotcha. Thanks

[balmy current]

It's not on your self, the ailment is applied to a target & when it reaches 6 stacks the ailment casts the Holy Flame Burst consuming itself.

[icy bronze]

is warpath a good build to start with? does it require a legendary to do well in the end game, or can you reasonably craft most of your gear?

[dense root]

warpath doesn't require any legendary or unique items to be playable in the end game although there are some uniques that you can farm for if you want to push your character to the limit

you should be able to complete the story, regular monoliths, and then get a decent ways into empowered monoliths with only rares though

[icy bronze]

awesome. i have got a marksman to monos, but most builds require a unique bow

so i was lookin to start somethin that didnt require a unique to really rock and roll, and i do love whirlwind builds

[digital thorn]

@icy bronze What mastery are you doing?

[cold plaza]

what bow builds are you playing that require unique bows?

[icy bronze]

Well my build right now is a flurry-multishot build. but i was aiming toward the reign of winter build

[boreal reef]

Is there a update schedule? The game is only up to chapter 9 now, I wanna see what's coming in 2022.

[gaunt hedge]

wrong channel to ask buddy xD we dont know
you should ask that in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs

[digital thorn]

@boreal reef Updates come every 3 months(atleast) here's whats planned for 0.8.5 https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/0-8-5-on-the-horizon-development-update-january-2022/47651?u=messier8

That also shows a roadmap of what's to come before 1.0

[versed tangle]

Why throw and bow attack are seperated? isnt it should be 'ranged attack'?

[snow spruce]

That's probably a better question for #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs

[stone granite]

No. There are throw abilities, like hammer throw and javelin. Then there are bow abilities. You do not throw bows.

[acoustic thicket]

So any controller support for this game

How well does it work on Linux

[versed tangle]

yes ur right. hammer throw is not a bow attack and I dont throw bows but anyway, I mean.. its range attack.

[cold plaza]

Made a Reddit post, but want to ask here too.
We just did a podcast recently with @brittle shuttle talking about building offense/defense, among other things (btw: https://youtu.be/byo6n1UoiYQ)

What topics would you want to see discussed in a podcast format?

[cloud kindle]

It's ranged, but having them in different categories permits to apply different treatments. See Umbral Blades, they do not work at all like a bow. On the opposite, Shurikens and Umbral Blades are far more comparable.

[versed tangle]

compare with poe, any class can use bows, daggers or staffs as they want. but atm marksan is the only class with bows, and the only weapon for marksman.

I think its waste of time for devs to design bows and affixs for bows only for marksman. or.. yes may add another class in future.

the problem is two thing. marksman is the only class that uses bow, and bow is the only weapon that marksman can use. at least, until now.

even if dev add another bow classes in future, imo seperate the classes with bow or not is not a very good idea.

[cloud kindle]

I don't play PoE, I won't compare. In Last Epoch, I'd like the Primalist to use bows also, that could fit the lore.

And BTW, Marksman can use all weapons Rogue can use, which means almost all. Not optimized, though.

But I agree, I'd like to see more bow usage in the game. And I would start with Primalist

[mystic acorn]

Bow Mage might disagree with you.

[cloud kindle]

Well, Bow mage is a Marksman

[lime gust]

idk if it has been asked yet, am I the only one not being able to launch the game on steam since the latest update?

just curious if its a problem on my part or did somebody else have it as well

nvm just got in

[wheat saddle]

bow mage is a marksman lmao wtf

[mystic acorn]

my bad, thought it was actual mage

[ashen sky]

Hey peeps, any newbie tips ? Just started the game today

[dim crater]

@ashen sky so many my dude. I started not long ago. There is a lot I learned. First thing would be your first character just build it the way you want. Just read through all of the skills it has and pick your own direction. I did the opposite. Someone suggested in this discord that I make an autobomber vk. So I did. And I followed a build guide. It was a lot of fun but I didn’t Lear anything. Now I made my own build. And it’s viable and I’m learning a lot

[thin iron]

If an item has a sealed affix on it, as long as it has 4 unsealed, can I still put it in the eternity cache?

[gaunt hedge]

yes, all that matters is that it has 4 unsealed , its ok if it has a sealed one too

and the sealed affix cannot be put on the legendary, only the 4 unsealed ones can

[sand marsh]

Anyone have any tips for farming gilded crowns for crafting fractured crown? Im currently running Sanctum Tier 2 maps with higher drops for exalted helmets but ive been trying for so long, it gets super frustrating.

[thin iron]

That's a relief, thank you. Thought I'd bricked a perfectly good relic I was going to stick in the cache.

[thin iron]

Does the eternity cache raise the level requirement of an item?

Or can you use it to make some especially nice leveling gear?

[dense root]

it sometimes does

depends on the normal level requirement of the item and the level requirements of the affixes you add

[thin iron]

So, to stop the kind of thing I brought up. Fair enough, thank you.

[ionic hull]

Anyone else had problem with Loot Filtering Idols??? No matter what I do, I always get shown all Relics not just the ones I put as "show".. Also tried to make it reverse and put everything else on "hide" but they are still showing.. WTF am I doing wrong

[desert wraith]

can you share a screenshot of your filter? usually the issue would be you ticked Idol affixes on a rule that's higher up, which causes them to match

also, "show" doesn't do anything unless there's a hide all rule below that

recolor, on the other hand, does

[dense remnant]

@ionic hull idols and relics are different, so that might be the problem

[finite plume]

Does this increase damage from "Damage over Time" effects?

[gaunt hedge]

yes, it increases all the dmg your companion does, wether its dot or hits(and all types like physical,fire etc.)

[ionic hull]

Quick question: If I convert Surge to fire - stormbringer will still use ligtning blast that deals lightning damage right?

There is mentioned that lightning damage is converted to fire but does it apply also for procs?

[cloud kindle]

Generally, sub-skills are not converted, so this one should not be

[ionic hull]

thats kinda sad though :/

Also one more thing.. it mentions to convert shock/l. damage but...

What about spark?

[balmy current]

Is a subskill so not converted

[fair talon]

if I wanted to make a big weapon smashes enemies build, what would be my best bet? I imagine probably sentinel?

[static glacier]

harvest lich?

big 2h meele weapon with a big powerfull "swing"

[cloud kindle]

VK with Erasing Strike?

[static glacier]

maybe he likes a lil torture ... tempest strike beastmaster 😄

[cloud kindle]

Wow, that's extreme!

[dense remnant]

selfcast eq with tempest strike

(this is a joke, do not play that build, its hell)

[thin iron]

Finally got an Apathy's Maw, dodgy rolls but 1 LP. What would be good affixes to try and put on it? % and flat void damage seem obvious. Unsure if physical damage is a good idea, or how attack speed, crit multiplier, and added crit stack up against each other (or against %void), and just generally drawing a blank on suffixes.

(Chill on hit? Armour shred? Frailty? Whatever happens getting the suffix here would be a consolation prize.)

[solar juniper]

I think ppl like base crit for MA or Flat void dmg for orher builds

[thin iron]

Thank you. Not sure what MA is, though.

[solar juniper]

Manifest armor

[dim crater]

What are the rarest items in the game?

[mystic acorn]

List of all "very rare" drops

[raw fern]

Extremely rare: https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/search?query=Extremely rare&in_description=1&exact_match=0

[dim crater]

Thanks y’all

[rare fjord]

ailments can inherit skill's penetration bonus?

[frosty mirage]

Yes, unless the node in question specifies “on hit”, in which case the ailment does not get the penetration bonus as they cannot hit

[rare fjord]

thank you

[dim crater]

So if I have a sword that says ignite on hit it doesn’t get it?

[frosty mirage]

Weapons are just stat sticks, so in this scenario it would just add on to the ignite chance on hit by the skill used, any ignites that are applied by that skill that has a non-specified “on hit” penetration node bonus would have that penetration applied

[runic sonnet]

where the best place to loot for idol?

[marsh maple]

monolith echoes that have idols as rewards @runic sonnet

[runic sonnet]

thanks for answering

[rough rain]

is there wrong description on affixes "Chance To Gain Lightning Aegis When Hit"? bcz its not work when u hit but work when u was take a hit. at least in town while hitting dummy its zero procs with 15% chance, but in fights where i surrounded by creeps its work.

[mystic acorn]

"when hit" means when you take a hit. "On hit" means it procs whenever you hit.

[rough rain]

hm, thx

[pine hedge]

when patch ?

[lunar holly]

next month

[pine hedge]

oki

tnx

[vital urchin]

effect from smelters might bleed/ignite chance doubled with a 2H working correctly? It only increases 70% for each not 140%

[dense remnant]

your character sheet wont show it as 140% when you have a 2 handed weapon equipped

assume its working unless you test it against a dummy and/or theres a bug post about it

[ionic hull]

does this "thrown axe" inflict bleed or no

[balmy current]

Yes

[empty patio]

Hello 🙂 Just got the game. Is there some good resource to read to decide on your first class? Alternatively, say you had to start from scratch (or go Solo mode), what would be your pick?

[cloud kindle]

I started with a Beastmaster and I was very happy with him. If I had a new char now, I'd start any class. In fact, I'm currently leveling a Druid.

[dark storm]

Do ailments (like bleed or poison) scale with increases to spell damage if they were procced by a spell?

[snow spruce]

Ailments applied by a skill inherit the scaling of the skill itself (where relevant), so yes

[balmy current]

But they don't scale with the flat spell damage. They will scale with all relevant modifiers (ie, if it's ignite, which is fire damage, that ignite will scale with any generic % more damage from within the skill tree, % fire, % DoT, % elemental DoT, % elemental but not % spell/melee/throwing/bow damage since ailments aren't spell/melee/etc).

[balmy current]

The G key in-game is your friend.

[dire dragon]

Hey, I'm considering picking this game up, but I have some questions:
How is respeccing in LE?
Will there be any non-cosmetic interactions (including stash size/features) with microtransactions? This has been one of the things that have killed Path of Exile for me, so that's why I'm asking.

[dense root]

respeccing can be a bit hard in the very early stages of the game but is more or less trivial later on

as far as i'm aware all microtransactions will be cosmetic

[dire dragon]

Good, because what has been really bothering me about PoE is that they've been inventing problems and then selling solutions

Which is really nasty

[sharp quartz]

You can respec your skills (XP cost) and passives (Gold) but you cannot respec your master class once chosen.

[sharp quartz]

Stash Size is purchased with in-game gold... i.e. you dont pay real money to expand your store..

[dire dragon]

Right, so I'd need one character per master class then

If I want to be super-completionist

[sharp quartz]

If you want to play everything, then yes...

[sharp quartz]

Microtransactions are only for cosmetics/pets (when they are released obviously)... no pay to win transactions...

[dire dragon]

Just wanted to confirm, because GGG will claim that the microtransactions in PoE aren't pay to win

[sharp quartz]

Nothing that impacts your actual play or how your store things requires anything other than the initial game purchase.. There is nothing to buy with real cash money that would give you any advantage...

[frosty mirage]

As Vapour has covered, the development team have stated they only want MTX to be purely cosmetic and have no plans to do pay for convenience MTX items (I.e. buying more stash tabs) as the game will ship with a box price

[dire dragon]

Ooh, right, that explains a few things, I bought btw.

Enjoying it.

[stone granite]

Nothing in PoE is pay2win either. The problem with the p2w discussion is the definition of "win"

[dire dragon]

I mean, I kind of disagree, the premium tabs are not only a huge convenience, it literally allows you to store thing that would be impossible to store without paying.

[dense remnant]

lets just be glad that last epoch dont require us to pay real money to store are shards

[dire dragon]

😄

[stone granite]

You did have to pay though. That's why GGG has premium stash tabs, because the game is free

[dense remnant]

i never mentioned ggg, was just talkinga bout this game

because we're not in the poe channel

[stone granite]

I know I'm just saying, that's the difference

11th gave this game a price instead of having some premium inconvenience

Other games do a similar thing if they are free

[dense remnant]

i was merely making a meaningless comment to point out how wierd that would be in last epoch

if you want to talk about poe monetization, theres channels for that.

[rare fjord]

less damage? less hit damage?

[ionic hull]

Shred Armor - when I bleed somebody with shredded armor, will he be taking increased damage?

[karmic nexus]

Only from physical i believe

[balmy current]

Less hit damage from the explosion per the last line

If there's ever an apparent discrepancy between the text & the modifier lines, the lines are correct.

[rare fjord]

thanks

[rough rain]

any way to survive 100 lvl bosses atacks? im spellsword and have during battle 1k hp and 3k guard, but still got 1 shooted by most skills, res all capped

[balmy current]

They're generally not meant to be facetanked. If there's a big telegraph, you're supposed to avoid the hit.

But resists, life & ward aren't the only defences

[dire dragon]

Any recommendations on when I'm supposed to start trying to optimise my gear through crafting?

Currently at Yulia's Haven.

Character is level 42.

[snow spruce]

optimizing? Probably not til you're into monoliths... improving? From level 1

[dense remnant]

yeah no need to optimise at that point at all

i don't normally even look at gear outside of 'this is better' and 'ill put this res on this' before im like, lvl 80

[ionic hull]

why not make crafting materials going automatically to the "crafting space"?

[raw fern]

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

[ionic hull]

That is not suggestion, I am pretty sure somebody already came up with this.. just asking why

[balmy current]

The link he gave you was a dev explaining why.

If you don't want to accept that as a reason why, there's nothing that will be acceptable.

[winged thicket]

Hey guys, i'm very new to the game and i'm wondering if it's worth to 100% explore every corner during story in hopes of some good loot or just slam the story as fast as I can and then play for loot in endgame?
I think the maps reset when i go to town, so idk how worth it is to pick up everything and go sell it to npc

[cloud kindle]

Hello and welcome! At least the first time it's good to explore, you may find some hidden places and you will see the beauty of Eterra. With next characters, you will probably want to go faster.

Selling is usually not really worth.

But you may want to shatter, in order to get shards.

[stone granite]

Items have next to no value, it's not worth selling things to an NPC. You aren't going to miss anything not exploring.

[winged thicket]

how about droprates, is it pure hell to get decent stuff or reasonable?

[stone granite]

Drop rates depend entirely on the item itself

But you aren't being hindered not finding specific uniques

[winged thicket]

sweet

[cloud kindle]

you will find tons of loot, really

[stone granite]

Some builds exist only because of a unique/set, but that's only if you do that specific build. You can play any class through endgame without any uniques

[winged thicket]

i just got out of wolcen and was losing my mind there, farming 50 runs of endgame and not getting a single thing that would be an upgrade and it just got not fun at all

ah good to know

[cloud kindle]

and good point: you can make your own build and bring it to endgame, then you'll know how good it is

[stone granite]

Well every game is like that. You do eventually get diminishing returns as your gear improves

[cloud kindle]

almost all is totally viable for the whole campaign and early endgame

[winged thicket]

yes, but i wasnt even at the top end where you look for 1% more, just in general painful. anywho, it seems LE has much more build variety so im happy about that

[winged thicket]

how is respecc? can i freely experiment or some changes are irreversable?

[stone granite]

The crafting system really helps in LE to get your what you want for an upgrade. Just make sure you setup your loot filter appropriately

Your mastery is the only thing you can't change

[cloud kindle]

respec is very easy, cheap and rather fast. As Revelasti said, you can respec all except your mastery choice

[winged thicket]

sweet! Thanks for the info my guys, I'm off to explore and experiment 🙂

[dense remnant]

would definitely recommend exploring on your first playthrough

i dont think many people realise theres hidden rooms 😄 (or at least know of most of them)

[stone granite]

Yeah but they don't have anything important that you miss

[dense remnant]

i mean you could argue nothing in the game is important except numbers

the hidden rooms have some element of world building/lore to them

so they have value

as well as that they do have chests in, or at least some of them

and in terms of zooming through the story, some of the rooms are significantly faster than killing rares near there

(and can be an effective way of getting the res you need for that part of the story)

[winged thicket]

if a skill procs another skill, can I level the proccable one and put points in it to improve it or? like flurry procs multishot, can i lvl up multishot even tho I dont have it on my skillbar and dont use it manually? or does it only proc the base version

[viscid musk]

You can level and specialize multishot aswell if you let it proc via flurry. You dont need it on your skillbar, it will receive all the bonuses you level into the skill.
Its a popular way to use decoy without specializing it.

[cloud kindle]

But you still can specialize into five skills, no more.

[winged thicket]

I see, good to know, thanks!

[dim crater]

Hammer throw doesn’t leech from melee hit right?

[viscid musk]

Only World Eater passive from Void Knight (if hammer throw does base void dmg/Void Bolts Void Knight passive), global leech like Bleeding Heart amulet or Throwing Dmg leeched as health Blessing from The Black Sun Timeline (a couple of examples). But not melee since it has a 'throwing' tag

[dim crater]

Dang

The only health regain I have at the moment is health on kill. Obviously regen as well but it doesn’t help much against bosses

[winged thicket]

does item lvl matter when using this on it?

im thinking to use it on a bow

[sick yacht]

Pretty much the only thing ascendancy takes into account is the item type. You can get items over your character level or the item level. It doesn't do boss drops (so if you're looking for reign of winter, it won't work)

[winged thicket]

im just looking for anything cool at this point, the only thing i know about my building goal is that i want to use bows and probably go flurry route. imma try my luck

got this

doesn't seem that great tbh

[winged thicket]

speaking of items, what main stats should I focus early on? just highest dmg/defense?

like i got this belt and i dropped a unique

[sick yacht]

Yellow belt would probably be better than either of those tbh. And yeah, you can just focus damage til act 9. By then you'll want poison and phys res cap. Health is always good

[winged thicket]

sweet, saves me some headache, thanks !

[sick yacht]

Np

[balmy current]

Depends on the build, for a melee poison build on a dodge-based class (like a Rogue or Primalist), the Vipertail is pretty decent.

[winged thicket]

Im doing a marksman, might replace with something better once i get it. Btw is the Falcon worth it for move speed?

this one

my only issue is kinda slow movement so far...

[stone granite]

No, it basically does nothing at all and is mostly a useless unique. Normally only boots have movespeed, and it is what it is. Might have to change your expectations of speed.

[winged thicket]

guess ill change it then 😄
those are my boots since like lvl 5

[winged thicket]

for example here, which one would work better? that's what mostly confuses me

@stone granite

[dire dragon]

Try equipping each of them and then seeing how the DPS change for skills you care about.

[stone granite]

I couldn't answer that question without knowing your build, and the game does the math for you

[winged thicket]

Ye I just realized that skills display dps numbers, so it was on me being dumb, thanks boys

[cloud kindle]

I would agree, except that for the very first levels it's decent. As a combo with the boots below and a Close Call Shield, it can even be good. But sure, it falls off quite fast.

[stone granite]

People need to try out the close call with the forge guard passive that converts dodge to armor. It's pretty neat

[cloud kindle]

Good idea!

[quasi iron]

Hello

I looked this game up and made me wonder

please dont shame me if this is a stupid or useless question

are the classes gender locked?

[snow spruce]

For now, yes they are

[spring panther]

I play to make a druid but I'm not sure what form to take

[dim crater]

Werebear is best from what I hear

[static glacier]

depends on what you want to do

sprigian is a caster and not comparable to a bear in any way 😉

[dim canopy]

Do more-multipliers from skill trees apply to sub-skills and related skills? For example, if I give my Upheaval a more-multiplier with Unstoppable Strength, will it apply to the Shockwave created by Tectonic Slam as well?

[winged thicket]

what are good all round uniques that are worth keeping/equipping regardless of build, especially while leveling? like your personal favourites for examples

[dire dragon]

Me, a collector: ALL OF THEM

😄

I don't remember the name, but I used the heart amulet for the longest time

[cloud kindle]

Arboreal Circuit is my favourite leveling item.

[winged thicket]

Also, I've finished campaign and unlocked monoliths. With them, is it better to farm one and gain corruption on it, or just push as high level as i can?

[azure lion]

mourningfrost purely for the movement speed, thorn slinger if I'm using physical skills, isadora's belt for armor in early game if I couldn't find a better belt

[mystic acorn]

push through the levels until you get to the Empowered Monoliths at level 100. Then it's better to push corruption after that

[winged thicket]

i was using thorn, but replaced it. i got siphon of anguish recently and it's pretty poggers

[winged thicket]

sweet, thanks

[azure lion]

boulderfists if I don't leech (until I replace it)

[spring panther]

im thinking bug or werebear

[static glacier]

Bug is new and has some issues and is not available at low level....

Try both?

I mean you have to play smth till you unlock bug anyway

[spring panther]

ya i'll try all three but not to into sprigin

[frosty mirage]

Spriggan is in a weird situation right now, also has some wrinkles that need to be ironed out, but there are a few good builds for it

[dark storm]

Can someone share with me what sort of system/method they use to figure out which exalted items to keep or not?

I find my self tempted to keep all of them "just in case"

except for very obvious situations where they have affixes that don't mesh well

[cloud kindle]

I've changed this week and dumped all my exalted. Now for each one I find the question is "can I use this with a Unique and create a Legendary?", and the other question is "can I use this right now in my current build?"

[sharp quartz]

This is just going to be a question of your experience in playing the various masteries and understanding what affixes are best for any build (like Hybrid Health, Crit Avoidance) and what are best for specific builds (Like Melee Crit Chance, Ailments, while channeling affixes etc)... and as Shtrak mentioned, looking at what exalts will actually be best suited to what Uniques to make Legendaries... all of it is just going to be a question of learning as you go....

[dark storm]

Yeah, I think a lot of it will eventually boil down to remembering which bases have uniques that would be useful to have exalted affixes on

[snow spruce]

The answer to that question is all. The base type is all that matters (ring, helmet etc).

[cloud kindle]

beware of "relic" vs "sentinel relic" for example

[stone granite]

I haven't made a system yet, but what you need to know is what uniques you might get with LP and what mods you'd want for them. You'd have to make a list or filter rules

I found I stopped collecting certain item bases because there was no relevant unique to combine them

[dark storm]

Yeah I know which uniques/exalted are good for my builds, but I think something more comprehensive would be nice down the line, I think I just need to figure out how some of the other classes work

for example I don't really play primalist now so I don't know which uniques are great for them (and therefore which exalted items and their affixes to keep an eye out)

[winged thicket]

is it just me or this looks well good?

[thin iron]

Do we have the actual numbers on odds of a Glyph of Despair sealing an affix at each tier?

[static glacier]

for an exalted item its 100% for tier 1 and really high for tier 2

after that its rapidly less

[sharp quartz]

dont know the exact odds but T1 & T2 seals seem to work fairly often... never managed to seal anything higher tho. Imho, its good to seal +skill affixes or +potion with clear ailments - i.e. things that give the most bang for the buck at lower T levels...

[cloud kindle]

@cold plaza made a video about this, there are guarantees in some precise situations

[cold plaza]

https://youtu.be/E4CBXPfdhQw

[thin iron]

Interesting, thank you both. I'll have to look into that after work.

I've admittedly used it.. mostly for targeted affix removal to get it out of the way. Not very ambitious of me.

[thin iron]

Had a chance to watch this now and it was very helpful, thank you. I'm a bit slow on the uptake so I appreciate the thorough explanation.

[obsidian delta]

Hi peeps, if you put shattered continuity on erasing strike, it says no cooldown - does that mean you can use it continuously.

[stone granite]

Well keep in mind the mana cost.

[obsidian delta]

but have i got the right gist of it?

[balmy current]

Yes, removing the cooldown of a skill allows you to spam it until you run out of any other required resource.

[obsidian delta]

thanks, might look at another way as on closer inspection I would need to divert a lot of points to get to it. A case of greener on the other side lol.

[winged thicket]

is it worth using this on flurry/DA build until finding drelkor/winter reach?

or better just top roll yellow/exalted?

[balmy current]

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

[main hull]

Hey guys, can anyone advice how to change exclusive echo rewards?

these

I need a spear there and whatever I do they're not changing

I pushed corruption, killed end boss

still same

[delicate dust]

Each timeline has its own preset exclusive echo rewards. You'll need to work on the timeline which offers spears as its exclusive rewards.

[main hull]

thanks your message made me double check, I farmed wrong timeline......

[manic merlin]

good afternoon, tell me please.
attacks that look like blood or light (for example, circles from "angels-Ra"), what type of protection helps to reduce their damage?

[spring panther]

I need help my loot filters aren't working

[azure lion]

have you checked the order? the ones on top override the ones on the bottom

also showing one type of item doesn't hide others, you have to have a "hide" filter as well

[spring panther]

Oh I didn't know

[thick rock]

Blood is almost always physical damage, and I think those specific circles are fire? Haven't played in a bit so unsure on that one

[stone granite]

I have a loot filter video on youtube that might help you

[spring panther]

got it to work

[warm dust]

Does Viper's Call cause Serpent Strike to apply to Summon Locust with the Locust Master node?

[manic merlin]

thanks, although it doesn't sound very convincing 🙂 I was hoping for a more specific answer 🙂

[balmy current]

You can tell by the colour of the effect which matches the colour of your resists on the character screen (except physical which is a dark red). So necrotic skills will be a light blue/teal, lightning is either pale blue or yellow, void is purple, etc.

[manic merlin]

ok! ty!

[shadow pulsar]

I believe the Reign of Dragons (Lv 85) timeline should be the one for spears.

[winged thicket]

When should I worry about the blessing farm? Atm I'm just pushing as far as I can with monos, is there any point in replaying the timelines now to get the best blessings or is better done later?

[solar juniper]

do target blessing farm (unless smth is essentially build enabling) when you are done with normal monos

[haughty swift]

Do you get extra rewards in the arena if you leave before you die?

Also is there a certain point I need to get to to not start back over at wave 1?

[balmy current]

Yes, there's a chest that you can open like the chest after a mono.

You can also get a key that lets you start at either wave 80 (from memory, it's been a while & I'm pretty sure that they've changed it since) or 50% of your max wave when you left whichever is higher.

[cloud kindle]

It's now 100 and not 80. Or 50% of max wave, as you wrote.

[lucid echo]

have any of the original diablo and/or diablo 2 devs react to last epoch as a new and promising arpg game?

[eager magnet]

David and his wife have played it from time to time.

[sharp quartz]

To add to this.... some advice, when you can see any hit coming - i.e. its telegraphed by some sort animation (mob movement or on the ground) before it hits - get out of the way.... In LE all telegraphed hits are very strong and should be avoided rather than tanked....

[manic merlin]

thanks. I know and understand it. I was just wondering what type of damage this or that skill of the enemy hits (I have all resistances 75% +, so it's just curiosity, well, or for the early game)

[balmy current]

I would refer you to my previous post on the matter

[main hull]

Can someone explain what does mean "effective level for legendary potential" cause obviously it looks like this level you should be to have a possibility to drop particular unique with leg potential, but some guy on youtube told like the more this level, the harder it will drop with legendary potential.

so what's the truth

[snow spruce]

It is less likely for a legendary with a higher "effective level for legendary potential" level to drop with legendary potential. For instance, the items with 200 effective level for legendary potential cannot drop with legendary potential at all

[main hull]

is it real to get a leg potential on an item with effective level 70 ?

or shouldn't count on that?

[snow spruce]

What do you mean? its possible. Its not incredibly likely, but its more likely than an legendary with effective level 100 for instance. You will have to farm for that item most likely.

[main hull]

hard to get cause % is not obvious...

I mean will it take me 20 same items to get 1 with leg or a hundred per 1 leg...

[cold plaza]

70 isn't that high. it's realistic to farm it

[main hull]

can't even get the base so far 😄

[snow spruce]

I'm certain that they've said something along the lines of "we're not releasing that information".

[main hull]

Thanks anyway

[main hull]

okay, actually one more 🙂
If skill has resistance penetration does it apply only on initial skill hit, or on bleed for example aswell if it's phys penetration?

[snow spruce]

Penetration applies to both

[main hull]

I mean if it's in action skill tree, upheaval has it in bottom node

not overall penetration

[snow spruce]

Where the source of penetration comes from does not matter. The only thing that could be different is if the skill's node specifies that its "hits" have increased penetration.

[main hull]

So in this logic, this perk affects bleed and frostbite that comes from Upheaval?

[snow spruce]

Yes that's correct

[elfin quail]

Are there any information regarding future for the bosses? improvements and new ones?

[balmy current]

Nope

[elfin quail]

Alright

So far I think that's the only major flaw of the game

Or maybe I'm wrong

But all of them feel forgettable

[stone granite]

I like the boss design myself

[haughty swift]

Could someone explain blessings a little more? Can I get all of them or only 1 per area? How do I get different ones in the same area (just by replaying quests?) and any other useful info for me

[dark fox]

Blessings are unique to each timeline. You are given a choice between 3 from its dedicated pool (goes up to 5 with larger corruption) and you can keep your current one or replace it one of the offered ones, each time you complete the timeline.
Empowered (lvl 100) timelines give you grand blessings, which are essentially better versions of those found in normal timelines.

[haughty swift]

Also what is the difference between unique and legendary items

[balmy current]

Uniques with legendary potential get turned into legendaries by using an exalted item after killing Julra in the dungeon

[manic merlin]

good afternoon. please tell me.
Stormcarved Testament, can I get this item with the 6th rune. or can it only be obtained from the boss and nothing else?

[balmy current]

It's a boss drop from Mono Lagon

So no, you can't get it via the rune of ascendance

[manic merlin]

ty!

[spring panther]

im not sure if i want to make a forge or void knight

[cloud kindle]

well, decide with the skills you want to use

[spring panther]

im thinking forge i like the idea for throwing hammers down

[elfin quail]

Oh my bad, I didn't mean in terms of design, aspect, but more like... The boss battle itself

Something like, generic and heavily scripted

[stone granite]

So like every boss ever made in any game ever? Because that's the only way to do it.

[elfin quail]

Yes, true. Every AI is at its core if and else statements... But if you throw around more variables and add a sip of rng, the behaviour becomes harder to predict

[winged thicket]

is siphon of anguish giga op or is it just dps calculation for the skills strange? my flurry dps is 5.5k with no rings, 8.5k with one siphon, 12k with 2 siphon ring, no other ring seems to boost it that high...

this one

[warm dust]

doom dps calculations are strange iirc

[cold plaza]

Remember that Doom only stacks 4 times. Flurry is misrepresenting the dmg here, a bit

[winged thicket]

Cool, will have to make some changes then, thanks!

[sharp quartz]

This one is a bit like the "stuck between a rock and a hard place" saying.... you want more random boss behaviour, but the devs have created very specific mechanics in the game so that bosses can be harder to defeat and hit harder - purely because you can learn what they do and anticipate things that will one-shot you or know that you should move because the boss is about to do something else detrimental to your health... The ability to predict/learn a boss makes it possible for anyone/anybuild to defeat any boss... if the bosses were entirely random it would be hell to defeat them and essentially depend on Luck (more RNG)....\ If Julra for example, had more random choice in her attacks and the order of her attacks, then she would be exponentially harder to defeat and the forums would be flooded with angry comments to this effect... Same with Orobyss - and he is already the most random boss due to his random skill combination/selection when he is spawned.

[elfin quail]

You have a fair point here

[feral cloak]

hi. game guide says that penetration applies after resistances are capped at 75%, so does it mean that there's no point of getting >75% res, or i got it wrong?

[dim crater]

Unless your stacking against resistance shred. From my understanding it’s different than penetration

[feral cloak]

mhm. so marked for death = 25%, max res shred vs player = 40%, so 140% is max. but i probably shouldnt assume i will have my res shredded at max stacks, so 100-120% should be optimal. thanks!

[dim crater]

75 is optimal for me lol

Too many other layers of defense you can have

[snow spruce]

100-120% is overkill

[static glacier]

usually you aim for 60+ if you need another suffixe to go beyond this its usually not worth the investment

[floral iron]

Anyone know what the meteor from black hole scales off?🤔

[main hull]

Does anyone know if this item even exist in the game?
I'm farming Reign of Dragons for several days strait and have none of them, however got everything from possible pull 3-4 times already.

[balmy current]

You'll note the underlined part.

[main hull]

yeah but how "very" that is, i've got 3 spears that marked as "rare" already

besides I thought this for Random drop anywhere, but i'm target farming

[winged thicket]

speaking of rare stuff, for the bowmage build, are there any other really good uniques that can be used instead of regular items or not? Like I use the winters reach bow and mournfrost boots, anything else worth putting on ?

[sharp quartz]

Arrowguard Quiver... Here is LizardIRL "luxury gear planner" https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/0QdzJ7po

[runic sonnet]

anyone know how the hammer throw mana mechanism, i saw it need 3 mana, switch a -3 spell mana weapon, it still need 3 mana

or hammer throw not a spell?

[marsh maple]

hammer throw is a throwing attack

so rings have an affix called -3 mana cost for throwing attacks on them, thats the main source of it @runic sonnet

[runic sonnet]

thanks, mean exalted ring for throwing mana is the only way to make it cost 0

[static glacier]

or you ignore the mana cost at all and specc into the negative mana node

[winged thicket]

Exactly what I was looking for, thank you!

[main hull]

It took me a week

[frosty mirage]

Congrats mate

[main hull]

thanks

[winged thicket]

random drop in temporal 😄

i'm sorry

[main hull]

you're mean

[winged thicket]

i literally just got it. don't really mean to rub it in :/ no leg potential tho

[winged thicket]

if it makes you feel better, I ran heorot for the 14th time today and still didnt get the bow with leg potential

[main hull]

no 🙂 It's always likes this, if you need something particular it'll take forever

I'm not even sure this build is going to work but wanted to get the spear to try it out

working on high attack speed frostbite upheaval beastmaster and pray the gods I'll have enough mana to sustain

[winged thicket]

sounds pretty cool tbh!
I am doing bowmage atm, pretty good for the most part, but im missing a few bits that would really boost dmg and survivability.
And I really wanna run a pure melee for my next char, but not sure what to pick. Got a few nice looking legendaries and all the choice is hard

[main hull]

My first 200+ corruption char was warebear thornshield guy

[winged thicket]

empowered echo quest reward

:/

[main hull]

pretty tanky but small aoe

[winged thicket]

oh my bow lady is opposite of tanky, i take a lot of oneshots. have resists capped, but low health

have you tried any set builds?

[main hull]

I was wanting to, but a lack of possible upgrade them to legendary items makes me feel sad

[winged thicket]

cuz i feel like the sunbro set could be nice

got this a while ago

[main hull]

I'm thinking to try this one some day

with spellblade or primalist

[winged thicket]

this is the reason i want to try lich, should work wonders with all the passives

oh yeah that one looks cool as well

all the choices are making my head spin. only thing stopping me is being lazy to go through story a bunch of times. is there any other way to lvl?

[main hull]

as for 2h swrods I was looking at this one

have some thoughts with combo elemental skills

like tempest strike

it doesn't scale with attack speed so 2h is fine

[winged thicket]

also considering these

this one looks cool, but idk mby for the void knight?

[main hull]

you'll miss extra passive points and idol slots anyway

[winged thicket]

story it is then..

[main hull]

the last one void for sure, dunno if anyone can benefit from void damage except for him

Don't show me Judicators 😄 I was getting like 10 of them before the icy one

left one for "just in case"

[winged thicket]

how about leviathan? it's super slow, so probably would only work on stuff that does not scale

[main hull]

phys upheaval maybe

there is a node that removes attack speed scaling

[winged thicket]

yeah got a few of those as well, been hoarding everything. tho some of the uniques feel rather meh

[winged thicket]

just looked at the passives, I will definitely give that a go after lich. thanks for the idea!

[main hull]

Sure) share feelings after)

[winged thicket]

will do

[fossil raptor]

Is their guild option when multiplayer comes out?? Is there not a looking for players channel, or looking for group channel here indont see one...

[dense remnant]

Theres no reason to look for players or groups right now

[stone granite]

https://tenor.com/view/fake-news-point-trump-false-not-true-gif-17803737

[balmy current]

Is their guild option when multiplayer comes outThey've said that they're thinking about guilds but want it to be more than just a special chat channel.

@fossil raptor

[elfin quail]

If I chose the left patch at the monolith

Can I go back and advance through the right one?

[lunar holly]

Yep, you just need to redo fall of outcasts

[elfin quail]

Oh the quest??? Awesome, thanks!!!!!!!

[frosty mirage]

There are several cutover paths, but considering that The Black Sun monolith has some really good blessings, doing the Fall of Outcasts might be more beneficial

[elfin quail]

Ill have to unlock it at some point anyways so

[fossil raptor]

Yes there is , multi-player is coming :) perfect time to look for players. That way when its ready we already have a group

[dense remnant]

its still a bits away lol

[elfin quail]

Does reign of winter only drops from heorot?

Like... I have to reach a lvl 90 zone to get a lvl 70 item?

[viscid musk]

Yes

50% drop chance

[elfin quail]

Damn... I don't see the logic there

[winged thicket]

i was like 80 or so when i reached heorot zone, so its not too bad, you dont need to be 90 to farm it

speaking of uniques

will I even ever replace it

busted af

[viscid musk]

Well some uniques are specifically designed around bosses which is quite normal in arpg games. So it makes sense that they can only drop from that specific boss. Imo you can even get this bow quicker than a drelkors bow for example. Random drops can be bad luck if you dont gamble with runes. Some timeline uniques are way rarer, and for how powerful reign of winter is, 50% drop chance is decent.

[winged thicket]

Can confirm, I got heorots bow before dropping drelkors

[elfin quail]

For which build is this? I have 2 of those

[elfin quail]

Yeah I've notice that, after lvl 60 drops become quite useless for certain builds... And you only get the right match every 20 lvls on average

Thats annoying

[fossil raptor]

That is ok il get as many as I can so when it launches we got lots of players :) never too early to look for players

[winged thicket]

i'm using it on upheaval primalist and im loving it, and i will definitely put it on my lich ones i reach the level.

[winged thicket]

funny thing is, i created primalist to use a different unique, but that one is for lvl 80, so maybe this one will fall off by then

[winged thicket]

titans heart vs woven flesh for a 2h melee physical build? upheaval primalist

[mystic acorn]

titan heart if you can get crit immunity elsewhere (recommended) otherwise Flesh is a good option while you're getting to that point.

[winged thicket]

swell, thanks!

[winged thicket]

Anyone tried Earthbreaker Upheaval? the node that makes it not scale with attack speed. I am wondering if it would work with something that has crazy high attack but is rather slow as opposed to stacking attack speed?

[dark storm]

What's everyone's favorite class/mastery? Be it for overall power, build diversity, gameplay, flavor, etc...

[mystic acorn]

Rogue/Bladedancer followed by Sentinel/Voidknight

[dark storm]

blade dancer is cool! I just hope they don't nerf DoT Flurry too badly...

[elfin quail]

Interesting, werebear right?

[mystic acorn]

with perfect gear it can hit over 100 million dps. It deserves to be nerfed pretty badly.

[balmy current]

Yes, but a fair part of that is due to the Shockwave node not inheriting the 40% less chance to apply ailments. Once that bug has been fixed it'll drop the DPS quite a bit, then they can see how much of a nerf it needs.

[dark storm]

Yeah I think fixing the bug should probably put it in a good spot, which would make it a strong boss killer/single target DPS but not quite as ridiculous

[winged thicket]

beastmaster actually, for the frenzy totem and nothing else. My plan was to run earthbreaker upheaval (30% more dmg, no attack speed scaling) because I have leviathan carver. But idk how viable it will be once I get there. So far attack speed upheaval is holding up nice too and if slow one fails I can always just go axe and shield

well and the passive tree is nice

[sharp quartz]

Tricky to chose a favourite class that doesnt change.. mainly due to some known issues with various classes (like that Llama8 already touched on above) affecting how good they are... my favourite has changed quite a few times.... loved Spellblade when I started but its no longer as good, VK devouring orbs was my first char to lvl 100, shield throw paladin was fun till it hit a dps ceiling.... bladedancer & marksman are great but I never settled into perfect build for either that I liked.... right now my best char is a Forge Guard Manifest Armour with shield throw build (search Kryce on the forum)... comfortable farming at 350+ corruption levels, decent defence, excellent dps and can do all the current content without feeling like its broken or boringly OP. Even still has room for min/maxing gear so there is something to farm for...

[main hull]

is reap from reaper form affected by harvest tree?

[elfin quail]

Marksman wizard has been the funniest so far... my lightning sorc it's very powerful although squishy, like any sorc class a glass cannon... and the void knight it's overall the most OP but kinda boring for me

Nor for being op but its just doesn't feel dynamic

[balmy current]

No, it's not Harvest & neither skill has a node saying that Harvest affects Reap.

[grave lark]

Can all affixes roll on all items? If not is there a list of plausible affixes per item type/base?

[mystic acorn]

Last epoch tools has a fairly extensive DB on all the affixes and where they roll.
https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/

[grave lark]

Sick ty

[floral mountain]

I was wondering, does anyone know how many sealed affixes can be put in a single item? And is it possible to upgrade a tier 5 to 6, or even 6 to 7 via critical hit in forging ?

[pseudo cipher]

You can only seal one affix on an item, and you cannot craft to tier 6 or 7 under any circumstances, including critical successes

[sinful vine]

Is there anything in particular I can do to increase framerate further? I have a GTX 1080ti and am playing on low, and im maxing out at 40 fps

[balmy current]

A better cpu is more likely to help since it's an offline game, your cpu is responsible for all the AI, proc calcs, etc.

[sharp quartz]

In additon to what Llama said, you also dont mention your resolution so its hard to tell exactly what your performance "should be". Remember LE is in beta and generally unoptimised so we do have to make some compromises in terms of expectations of performance. Hopefully once the devs address performance issues, things will improve.

[plush sonnet]

this seems pretty decent for fire minions acolyte right ?

unsure about the spell dmg / skel

[sinful vine]

I'm playing on 1920x1080 atm

[tired pond]

how you know what is the crit immunity threshold ?

[lunar holly]

crit avoidance caps at 100% (you can get more but it does nothing) and woven flesh gives 100% crit avoidance

[sharp quartz]

You shouldnt be getting 40fps on a 1080ti @ 1080p on exculsively Low settings - perhaps during a busy gameplay moment but not average fps... I get better than that on my 1060 @ 1080p on Low on Win10... If you are interested in trying to figure out what could be happening, open a thread on the Technical Support section of the forum and attach your le_graphicsmanager.ini, dxdiag report output & your player.log... There may be something obvious that will help and this isnt really the place to troubleshoot....

[sinful vine]

Thanks for the tip, will do!

[main hull]

can anyone tell how to avoid lich form decay ?

I saw vids like people stay there forever, and I don't get how

[balmy current]

Lots of leech

Since the decay accelerates, you'll never be able to stay in Lich form "forever" but with sufficient leech & damage you'll be able to stay in it for a few monoliths at least.

[main hull]

never saw even a healing from leach

but damage I suppose

[balmy current]

Leech is applied over 3s so it counteracts the drain from Reaper form & because you're constantly loosing hp from the drain, the leech effect isn't removed when you're at full hp.

[main hull]

This node doesn't make Death Seal a physical skill, is it a bug?

[brave ibex]

Wave of Death is a subskill of Death Seal

It's not changing Death Seal itself

[main hull]

okay but how can I trigger that subicon

if it's there, there must be a way

[leaden night]

Can we transfer a mod into an unique who already has the same mod when we make a legendary ?

[marsh maple]

@leaden night yes you can double up

[leaden night]

so nice, ty 🙂

[main hull]

is there a way to calculate particular skill crit chance?

[thorn rune]

I dont understand the mechanics of blood shade of orobyss. where is the dot coming from and what can I do to avoid it?

[brave ibex]

Kill the thing he spawns in the middle of the arena

[thorn rune]

gotcha, thanks

[sharp quartz]

No easy way (i.e. its not available as a tooltip/character sheet value) but you can work it out manually.... Here is an example of the process for the Rogue Flurry skill - https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/question-about-shard-x-increased-crit-chance-for-flurry/47980/3 Should be similar for any other skill.

[elfin quail]

How do I get to the age of winter? I'm currently in the age of dragons, and if I'm not wrong this one takes me to spirits of fire

[floral mountain]

Does anyone tried stacking endurance? if so what happens?

It says dmg reduction

[sharp quartz]

If you max out Endurance % you can get 60% damage reduction on any part of a hit that takes your health below whatever your endurance threshold is and if your health is less than your threshold when you take damage, all the damage is reduced.... Its hard to stack endurances two factors but it can be a very good if you do... Check out section 5.11 in the Community Game guide... https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/community-game-guide/26057/7

[winged thicket]

once you do reign of dragons you unlock all 3 of the last monos iirc

[elfin quail]

Ohhh got it, thanks!

[exotic estuary]

For blessings that apply X on hit does that extend to companions/minions, or is that only your hits?

[cloud kindle]

Your hits.

[stone granite]

For all things it only affects minions if it specifically states minions

[sinful vine]

Is there any way to skip the "are you sure" dialog when respeccing skills and passives?

[cloud kindle]

not yet

[floral mountain]

The monolith progression are separate from each characters right?

[frosty mirage]

Correct, there is no shared mono progression across characters currently

[floral mountain]

Oh I see ok, thanks

Wait but does corruption get shared on other monolith?

[mystic acorn]

no

[balmy current]

Not per se, no, but if you're in a mono with a lower corruption than your highest corruption the lower mono will gain corruption faster.

There's a catchup mechanic for lower corruption monos

[sinful vine]

I remember reading that the Eternity Cache needs to be revisited and assumed id have to do the dungeon twice, but I can just time travel and pick it up immediately, is that intended? I assume it must be and I misread

[floral mountain]

Oh nice

[mystic acorn]

Yes, once you seal something in the past it is immediately available for you to pick up in the future zone. Completely intended.

[floral mountain]

so every mono starts at 100 at empowered but can catch up quickly to the highest corruption in the other mono, that's nice I thought the corruption could be shared

[sinful vine]

thank god, that's a lot better than always having to wait to clear again xD

[floral mountain]

If I finish the final quest for the monolith does it minus the stability to my current stability? Like for example I got 1.5k stability and I finished the final quest, does it do -800 or I'm back to 0?

[balmy current]

Yes, it just subtracts the stability requirement for the mono quest ech

You can store up to double the required amount for the boss

[floral mountain]

Oh nice!

[brazen canopy]

what is the fastest way to level?

so far arena has been providing good xp for me

[exotic estuary]

Cool, thanks.

[balmy current]

Monoliths

[floral mountain]

How does effective level for legendary works? I mean low level items has the potential to reach Lp 2 or 3 but higher ones I don't know like Paranoia with level 85

I'm assuming it's beyond 100

[snow spruce]

#❔┃ask-the-community message

[floral mountain]

I see, thank you! Guess I should try and find other builds for now, there isn't a lot of +void damage or +spell void damage on lower level uniques yet

[winged thicket]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/itemsets/SAzCsQ

[floral mountain]

yeah that's a set, I wanted legendary ones for a VK smiter

But I guess there's not a lot of unique to make a legendary for a VK smiter :<

[winged thicket]

you got a weapon?

[winged thicket]

speaking of smite, just dropped this. I'm a noob so it looks real good to me, but is it?

[stone granite]

Yes it's one of the most commonly used uniques

[fossil raptor]

The uniques in these modern arpgs simply do not feel the same or draw as much attention as the legendary diablo 1 and 2, my only knock on this game and POE are the unique items and set items

[cloud kindle]

Is this something we can see? Or is the node bugged?
When I have vines and cast Entangling Roots after, I can see strictly nothing. I don't see the effect on the Spriggan either.

[cloud kindle]

OK, I can see something sometimes, a visual effect that instantly disappears. I suppose that's the way it's made.

[thorn rune]

is the freeze rate of Arcane Avalanche global, or does it only apply to the passive proc?

[cloud kindle]

Usually, when an effect is global, it is specifically written.

[thorn rune]

doesnt really inspire a lot of confidence either way

because a global node just looks the same

[frosty mirage]

I believe the visual is subtle in terms of vfx of the effect. That was brought up a short time after 0.8.4 release

It does not work on Upheaval Totem currently however, but that’s been reported (by me, rip upheaval totem bear maul build)

[granite helm]

how does strenght on item affect manifest armor? does it get +4% dmg only or does it get +4% from my str and +4% from "affected by item stat" ?

what stas affect it in general?

[winged thicket]

what's the rarest item in the game? Also, can exalted items have more than 2 purple rolls?

[lunar holly]

1. If you mean unique, sort by reroll chance here to get an idea: https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/uniques
2. They can have 4, but good luck 😄

[winged thicket]

Thanks!

time to get 4lp legendary bow with 4lp relevant purple stats, see you in 12 years 😄

[sharp quartz]

Not 12 years... and I got bored trying to find a perfect exalted bow to match, but I figure its good enough... I just hate ballistae

[fossil raptor]

is there any way to hotkey more than 6 skills ?

i am stuggling with necro as not enough buttons 😦

[balmy current]

Nope, the closest you can get is if one skill procs another skill, you won't need the second skill on your bar

But you won't ever be able to specialise more than 5 skills

[winged thicket]

that sure looks nice! But I am in need of reign of winter with 4 lp, so that is 12 years 😄

which would be craaaaaaaazy op, so it's kinda reasonable it's so rare

[fossil raptor]

thank you 🙂

is this the way they are keeping it?? Seems a bit strange when there are so many skills

[trim heath]

There are not currently any plans to majorly change the skill specialization system or the maximum number of specializable skills.

[stone granite]

You can't specialize more than 5 skills, there's no reason to have more buttons.

You didn't run into problems, you were playing the game wrong. Trying to play a game like another game will always get you in trouble

This game lets you specialize 5 skills and you are only expected to use those 5 skills

[balmy current]

That's not quite true. There are some skills that are reasonable to have unskilled.

[gilded ravine]

If I convert Fire Aura to lets say lightning does the increased fire damage and spell fire damage also convert?

[stone granite]

No

Usually conversion passives say they no longer work

[gilded ravine]

ok thank you

[winged thicket]

how does poison flurry blademaster compare to shuriken? Most of the builds I see, if it's poison it's shuriken, but I'm not too big on that skill...

[mystic acorn]

Shurikens have far lower damage than flurry channel, but slightly better area clear speed if I am not mistaken. However I use shurikens as buff every time I dash even in flurry and just focus on shred from them.

[balmy current]

Yup, though the shred is irrelevant given how much shred you'd get from the poison stacks from Flurry.

[mystic acorn]

Nah, they're auto-cast from the shift and aren't anything I am going out of my way to apply. Just didn't have anything else to spec into that would auto-cast.

[vernal burrow]

what do community events look like, some people mentioned they sometimes get together and do like some sort of community run event? or am i missing the mark

[dense remnant]

every week we redo monolith progressions

after enough weeks all but one person will be burnt out

we will hail them as king/queen of last epoch

more seriously, 4 day race each weekend, have to use one of 3 picked skills, top 2 highest arena pushes for sc and hc win

[craggy elbow]

Is multiplayer being released for this March 18 event?

Multiplayer is not included in patch 0.8.5. We post monthly updates on the status of multiplayer to the forums. You can also use the !multiplayer command on the discord server to get a link to the FAQ which includes all multiplayer blog posts.

!multiplayer

[ripe brook]

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

[craggy elbow]

thx

[elfin quail]

I just spent the last 6 hours farming for an exalted bow and man... looting is quite boring at the end game

And it should be the most exciting part

[sharp quartz]

Its less exciting than it should be especially at lower corruption levels where the drop rates are not great for uniques and even at high corrption where drops are better, monos can get monotonous (whoops, sorry for the comparison EHG) after a while.... Personally, I find that its best to farm for multiple items across multiple monos to help alleviate the monotony (sorry cant help it)... The dungeon does mix things up a little too.... What is nice is that the devs know that end-game needs more to keep it interesting so updates like the one coming should help...

[elfin quail]

Hopefully 🤞

Actually, looting is awesome through the story. Because of the pace you can keep changing gear

But when you hit lvl 60... gear lvl doesn't matter too much

Instead you need to focus on affixes, farm for exalted and pray for the right affix t6... and most of the affixes are useless thanks to the rng...

My lvl 58 rare bow semi forged is way better for my build than any unique atm... that doesn't feel right

[sharp quartz]

Thats by design I think.... Once you start on Monos crafting becomes much more useful than drops and you transition from finding drops that improve your char to finding drops that would make good crafts and go from there... its almost a distinct planned difference between campaign and end game with a little transition phase in the middle...

[acoustic thicket]

Yes Hello. I have a big issue with the game at the moment. It seems my game is locked to 30 FPS. Even tho i disabled the FPS lock feature, tried every single setting there is. Anyone know's a solution to this problem? Thanks

[delicate dust]

It's possible your graphics card software has an FPS limiter enabled if you've unlocked frame rate in game and disabled v-sync, such as Raedon's FRTC.

[acoustic thicket]

I use 3070ti and just checked If I had any specific FPS lock enabled (I play other games without issues) And nothing was enabled.

I understand that It's super hard to do anything without any logs from my end, just figured if it was a common issue and there was some quick fix for it

[delicate dust]

Some people do encounter FPS drops as we are hard at work on optimization. However being "locked" at low FPS without FPS being locked is not something I've personally encountered or seen pop up. I might recommend posting in the technical support forums: https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/technical-support/47

[acoustic thicket]

You know what, normally I would just uninstall and move on to another game, but since you are so kind and responded to me I'll go ahead and make a post about it!

Okay it might not be the case that i'm locked, cause when I zoom in I get a tiny bit higher fps

But the game is running EXTREMELY bad

[delicate dust]

Are you measuring your FPS with the in game FPS counter - F11?

[acoustic thicket]

F11 yep

[delicate dust]

is it just one specific zone you're getting 30FPS in, do you get more FPS in different zones, does it fluctuate? If it's not due to performance, it should stay fairly steadily at 29.7 FPS with a 30FPS lock~

[acoustic thicket]

seems to be everywhere

when i swap resolutions i obv get other fps values, for example when i go down to 640x480 i get 600+ fps

1440p 40 ish fps
1080p 60 ish fps

[delicate dust]

Ok, so it's not an FPS cap, it's sounds like performance. Resolution shouldn't effect a cap. Performance is an ongoing effort, for which we release improvements every patch. Performance will be a larger focus in this upcoming dev cycle with targets in hand, and we just hired on a brand new technical artist this week as well which is going to be very helpful for visuals and performance related improvements.

[acoustic thicket]

If i play in windowed and make the window very small i get really good values tho 🙂

But the thing is, with my old spec: 4770k gtx 980, i had really good performance

[delicate dust]

It could be specific configurations with the current setup. The technical support forum is going to be the best bet to see if someone else may have encountered the same situation or specific conflicting settings. Every setup is a bit different, so it's really hard to say, there's no real one size fits all fix. The biggest things I have found to help with FPS dips is screen shake, and damage numbers. but if you're getting the low performance while just sitting in town, those should not be impacting.

[acoustic thicket]

Yeah. I understand, well after all I'm running a 12th gen CPU and win 11, so could be that

[delicate dust]

I'd still be running Win7 if I could, haha.

[acoustic thicket]

I get where ya coming from.
Kinda sad I gotta play like this:

to get decent frames

[delicate dust]

Does closing lastepochtools help? I've found sometimes it can be a bit much for my own PC

[acoustic thicket]

lemme try, in fact let me try to close chrome completly

Nope, didn't help

[elfin quail]

Check your gpu and CPU usage

Which processor do you have?

[acoustic thicket]

12700k, looking as it should.

[elfin quail]

Can you please show me the graph?

Just the screenshot when the game is running

Or better yet, check that your 3070ti Is being used

[acoustic thicket]

hold on

ehm, restarted my game and somehow i have full fps now

[elfin quail]

Huh

[lucid echo]

could you check by opening the Task Manager and on the Details tab, find the lastepoch process then right click and choose Set Affinity? what it should look like is all CPUs are ticked
it may have trouble with number of processors running when you had the FPS problem

[elfin quail]

Whats better, meteor sorc or ice sorc?

[winged thicket]

I wonder which classes would benefit the most from it? Would it be worth putting on a bow mage build?

[elfin quail]

It's use by cold sorc

[winged thicket]

I see I see, will save it for the future i guess

[elfin quail]

Stash everything mate! I have my stash full of exalted, uniques and set parts

Even some rares

[winged thicket]

yeah same, 34 tabs in total already, full of stuff

some are kinda crappy, but you never know 😄

[meager lily]

yo im back after 1 month. Does this game become Online ?

[snow spruce]

no

!multiplayer

[ripe brook]

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

[meager lily]

thank you sir

Wake me up when it goes online.

[exotic estuary]

So I'm a bit confused by the reckless spin node in the warpath tree (gives -6 to channeling cost and -30% ele resistance while spinning). Why would someone want to take that node when the node before can give the same amount of reduced channeling cost for the same amount of point value without the ele penalty? As far as I can see nothing else in the warpath tree increases its channeling cost.

[balmy current]

It frees up skill points & 30% ele resist isn't difficult to get, especially as a Pally

[exotic estuary]

@balmy current I guess I just don't understand because warpath only has a channeling cost of 4. Does having more reduced channeling cost than is necessary affect the mana cost for warpath in some way?

[balmy current]

No, though it would allow you to stack more of a buff from the Warrior's Fury node if you had more than -10 channel cost

[exotic estuary]

Ah.

[fierce kraken]

Should there be a role that you opt in to: wake me up when mp comes?

[winged thicket]

on large idols, what's the difference between those two suffixes?

[delicate dust]

The first increases all damage while you have a bow equipped (eg. would also increase bleed damage)
The second only effects damage dealt by a bow (would only effect the direct bow skill damage)

[winged thicket]

would the 2nd one work with reign of winter bow proc, the icicles?

[delicate dust]

no, that's a spell, not a bow skill

the first one would though

[winged thicket]

I see, thank you very much for the clarification!

[ocean glacier]

Hello everyone, I just started playing Last Epoch and had a question regarding some passives and skills. On Sentinel's Lunge ability under the Holy Incursion node that has a chance to cast Smite, is the smite that is cast affected by skill tree nodes from Smite itself?

[dire mist]

yes

[ocean glacier]

aaah, that's awesome, thanks!

[static wren]

What would be the go-to Class for a reflect/thorns type build?

Assuming Sentinel but maybe something Primalist?

And also, if you block an attack, is that damage reflected in any way or simply blocked? nvm, blocked means blocked

[sharp quartz]

Dont think anyone has figured out a perfect reflect build yet - even with the recent addition of some choice reflect items.... If you havnt already done it, you could browse through 2 forum threads with people theorycrafting and discussing the limitations of the reflect mechanic.... https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/my-first-two-legendary-required-builds-reflect/45813 and https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/reflect-damage-build/46391.

[errant pebble]

question: been wondering who were the ones that lived in that floating island in ancient era ?

[cloud kindle]

While leveling a char I went into the Dungeon and skipped part of the campaign. Now, I have new quests to do but I still have the old one, from before the dungeon. Is there any way to make it disappear? I like to have clean quest lists.

[sharp quartz]

Oh my OCD! (no way to remove them other than doing the quests that I know of)...

[cloud kindle]

OK, thanks! 🙂

[short forum]

hello

so

i was wondering if the new stuff are coming to the game in an update or if they're already in the game

by new stuff i mean the new unique item models, new wraith models, etc

i heard something about a new update called depths of something

is that update coming soon? thanks

[mystic acorn]

Comes out this Friday. more details below
https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/depths-of-eterra-update-0-8-5-coming-march-18th/47988

[short forum]

ah

great!

can't wait

[unreal kernel]

Anyone who understands auto bomber and can give me a tip?

[floral mountain]

Is Poison Flurry still viable this patch?

[pseudo cipher]

At the moment it's still super OP damage wise. No guarantees come Friday though with the new patch

[floral mountain]

I see might wait for that patch before I try it

thanks!

[cloud viper]

Is Last Epoch appropiate for someone that has never really tried an ARPG before? (Tried POE, completely overwhelmed by it)

[mystic acorn]

They've said no major changes so it should be fine. Even if they nerf the application of poison from force waves it'll still be insane dps.

[dire mist]

yes

the game explains everything clearly and simply, nothing really too difficult to grasp w/ the mechanics

slower pace so it's not 100% gaming 300% pack size action

[snow spruce]

Bugfix. Not nerf really.

[static glacier]

even if you nerf something right now super OP its most likley still very strong 😉

[marsh maple]

hey do you know where that was confirmed? I just want to find the source

[mystic acorn]

March 11th in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs

Mike W
This is the lightest patch for skills that we've ever had I think. No new skills, no skill reworks. We've got some tweeks here and there that are necessary but nothing huge. The new catalysts and unique items will have a bit of a shakeup effect on some builds I think though.

[marsh maple]

oh no I mean the force waves being bugged @mystic acorn

[mystic acorn]

Closest to a source I have for that was Llama iirc

[mystic acorn]

The bug, as far as I know, is that force waves have 100% chance to apply full ailment value per hit, when stuff like Warpath only has a 40% chance to apply full ailments per hit. I was told that was unintended or would be corrected soon-ish as Warpath was only recently corrected.

[balmy current]

Yeah, that's being fixed. 😉

[marsh maple]

Good then the build will still delete the game, just in 30 seconds and not in 5

which is fine because it makes editing waaaaaaaaaaaay easier, as I dont need to include 10 boss fights, I can just include 2
