[mystic acorn]

lol

[lone flume]

So Force waves is intended to apply poison at 40% chance too?

[mystic acorn]

I believe all channeled damage skills are due to how fast they actually hit the targets compared to non-channeled skills.

[balmy current]

Yup.

[acoustic thicket]

hey all just a quick question, is there a way to target farm specific items?

[snow spruce]

Yes

[wheat scaffold]

when we have a node that's about time rot all time rot's apllied, even trough other skills, will be affected?

[trim heath]

Nodes in any skill tree only apply to that skill unless otherwise explicitly stated.

This buffs any time rot applied by anomaly but only time rot applied by anomaly. So if you had a passive or item or idol that gave time rot chance, it would be affected by this when using anomaly only.

[wheat scaffold]

@trim heathtyvm sir!

[tulip talon]

is there an easy way to get the chances of legendary points per unique? found this one but doesn't really tell me exactly what "level for legendary potential" or "reroll chance" means.

https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/unique

[bronze ocean]

There's no way to get actual chances for LP. The higher the Effective level for LP, the less chance is to roll LP. Reroll chance means the chance to reroll unique when game engine generates a unique item, so the higher this chance, the rarer is the unique.

[balmy current]

Get back to your channel sir! This one's for us community members!!!

[minor quartz]

Do Firey Dragon Shoes increase the effect of Ignites applied by minions?

[static glacier]

It doesnt say anything about minion imho so no

[minor quartz]

I'm debating putting this in ask dev

since normally I know you're right but this specifically calls out the ignite not the source

[static glacier]

Increased ignite effect is on many sentinel gear too

[delicate dust]

Only modifiers which state they apply to minions, or attributes stated on the minion's tooltip will scale minions (outside of case examples such as the Storm Crow's tree where it can gain some of your lightning damage bonuses)

[minor quartz]

alright, saves me something I have to farm for this stupid build

thanks

[static wren]

Is there any other way to get Minion Cast Speed besides the Reach of the Grave Unique?

[olive tinsel]

Giving them frenzy would have that effect

[static wren]

Trying to get locusts out quicker

and it says it scaled from minion cast speed but.. there just isn't anywhere to really get it

[balmy current]

Isnt' there a node that makes them spawn when you hit the hives?

[static wren]

yeah

I'm going to try that, but I was hoping I could cast the faster manually

through Locust Master

Not sure if that would make attack speed work for getting them out or not, since they're summoned through your attack but I was under the impression it was through minion cast speed

[late pollen]

what does glyph of order do?

[lunar holly]

it keeps the same level of roll for the affix, say for example you have T1 Health and it can roll between 5 and 15 and your roll is 15 (the max) by using glyph of order it will upgrade it to T2 and the T2 roll will be maxed as well

[late pollen]

Thanks for the quick response. So can I assume that each tier has the same range? In your example 10 health

[lunar holly]

you can think of it as a percentage, it's not always 10

[late pollen]

Ah alright. gotcha. Thanks a bunch!

[olive lily]

hi everyone, ive returned after a longer absence of LE (imo around 8.0? 8.1? something like that). and im getting back into it (legendary potential and so on) ive found multiple Rune of Ascendance by now and im wondering what would be the best item to use them for

currently im playing fireball mage, but starting to build ice as well

a BIS mage unique or strong general item? any pointers?

tyvm in advance :D

[olive tinsel]

I don't know your specific build, but there would be 3 or 4 uniques that come to my mind, that could be useful.
Cinder Song (very good wand early on, but will become worse in endgame due to low adaptive spell dmg)
Prism Wraps Very common unique, but hard to get with LP. Very endgame viable though because mage has a hard time getting high amounts of leech
Tome Of Elements Also very common, but also a good source of leech
Orian's Eye very rare, but good defensive stats and almost al the maximum mana you need to reach the 300 mana threshold for idols.

The only uniques were it would be worth using RoA for would probably be Prism Wraps or Orian's Eye.

[olive lily]

Hey man, ty for your pointers. im currently at lvl 76, using calamity and rules of the simoon

maybe ill look for orians eye (oracle base), but somehow it doesnt look all the impressive when i read it stats. im already at 308 mana right now, so im triggering the idols.

[olive tinsel]

You should read it again 😛
Even without the mana it is incredibly powerful

Its one of the rarest items in the game for a reason

But don't make your hopes too high, because it is extremely rare

[olive lily]

^^

[narrow fjord]

Can we gamble uniques now? i don't see the "cannot be gambled" on tools anymore its been awhile since i played

[olive tinsel]

On the current regular gambler you cannot gamble uniques.

One of the new dungeon rewards in patch 085 will be able to gamble uniques

[narrow fjord]

oh ok thanks

[runic sonnet]

anyone know the fastest way to add the corruption?

[sharp quartz]

Do the Orobyss Echo Islands that are the farthest away from the Mono starting point... they have the biggest Corruption increases...

[runic sonnet]

what is the highest corruption, the furthest i get is around 1x

and anyone know why sometime echo will have extra corruption added?

[dire mist]

can u show an example?

[runic sonnet]

like the echo description show is +4 corruption, there another line below show will also add extra +2 corruption

so total +6

[dire mist]

yeah, the further from the centre of the web, the more corruption it adds

[runic sonnet]

say if ihave high corruption like 200 in ending the storm will other like spirit of fire corruption adding faster?

[olive tinsel]

This is bonus corruption based on the difference between your highest corruption timeline (among All timelines) and the current corruption of the timeline you are in.

It's meant to be a catchup mechanic

For example if you have one timeline at 400 corruption and you start pushing corruption in a fresh timeline it will take you roughly 2-3 shade kills to get to 300/350 corruption

[runic sonnet]

thanks all for the reply, i know how the corruption mechanism work now

[severe yoke]

Can someone explain me how a DOT skill's (such as Black Hole) "added damage scaling" is relevant to the damage we are dealing?
For example, Black Hole has an Added Damage Scaling of 38%. How is this affecting our damage outcome considering it is not a "hit"?
I really can't get my head around it. Thx.

[olive tinsel]

If you add any flat spell damage (e.g. adaptive spell damage or +X Cold Spell Damage) this flat damage will increase the damage of the ability, respecting it damage effectiveness

Adding any type of damage to an ability, will work even if its not a hit

Skill that are similar to this, in the sense, that they do not have any inherent hits are Wandering Spirits or Spirit Plague

[severe yoke]

@olive tinsel So if I have +10 cold spell damage, then it would be adding 3.8 damage to the skill which in return be hitting that combined damage (base+added) as DOT. Is it correct?

[olive tinsel]

Yes that is correct.

For Black Hole I am not sure if its total damage or the dmg per tick/second though.

[severe yoke]

@olive tinsel Thanks a lot man!

You helped a lot

[olive tinsel]

[olive lily]

When i convert Meteor to Lightning via Vilatria, does it convert the Craterborn-Buff from Fire Dmg Buff to Lightning Buff as well?

[ripe hinge]

Does somebody know if these uniques contain the ones that are already announced?

[compact canyon]

not sure if it's the right chat but what are the strongest ssf starters in the upcoming patch? Excluding pure summoners

in other words:what is the meta?

[static glacier]

shatter strike is unchanged, static orb is unchanged, cold bear is unchanged ... noting big happend this patch

aside the flurry nerfs ofc

and everything with a shield got nerfed

well and every build in generell too ... well not shatterstrike ... didnt use ravenous voids anyway

[stone granite]

SSF is a PoE thing, not in LE

[compact canyon]

I meant easy progressing without items from the mules
inb4 mules is D2 thing, not in LE 🙂

[static glacier]

you can play everything you want SSF if you dont target some very specific build

and even many specific builds can realtivly simple farm key items

i wouldnt play some low life stuff maybe ... but things like shatter strike are totally possible with the boots not being rare and the gloves being a boss drop ... and the possibility to play and classic shatterstrike build before you get the frostbite stuff

[olive lily]

can you "chance" a omnis?

[knotty hinge]

No

[static glacier]

Its a boss only drop thats why ... no

[balmy current]

Probably not. Unless they specify otherwise, damage conversions only convert damage, not other effects (such duration or effectiveness).

[sinful vine]

Does corruption affect the "drop 1 unique/set of x type" nodes in any way? I assume no, I don't even know what that would look like, but just curious

[balmy current]

It increases the likelihood that the nodes will be spawned

[sinful vine]

ahhh that makes sense. Are there other nodes like this that will be increased? And does this mean at high corruption, others spawn less?

[balmy geode]

Hey guys, tried to google this but didn't find the answer:

Does Phys resistance shredding help bleed damage?

[marsh maple]

yes @balmy geode

pen helps too

[balmy geode]

Thanks hotstuff

[marsh maple]

❤️

[balmy geode]

Have a nice patchday, beautiful people!

[ripe hinge]

Will the images of the new legendaries be posted somewhere?

[brave ibex]

Not officially, but this website is usually updated quite quickly after the patch drops with any new items https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/

[ripe hinge]

ty dude

[main hull]

weird, they told it's live but my game is still 0.8.4H and doesn't udate

nevermind

it started

[boreal stream]

what is a good starting class to pick if just starting the game?

[snow spruce]

Whatever you think sounds fun

[cloud kindle]

Seriously, all classes can be good starters

[boreal stream]

ok thanks 🙂

[dense root]

the early game is mostly forgiving enough that you should be fine with whatever you think will be fun as long as you're putting a little bit of thought into how your skills/gear work

and then later every class is viable and you can pretty easily respec

so just do whatever

[outer pagoda]

Is there a way to get a "fresh start" without having to manually empty every tab etc.

or even a way to reset ur account

[mystic acorn]

delete your save files in C:\Users\YourName\AppData\LocalLow\Eleventh Hour Games\Last Epoch\Saves

[outer pagoda]

Thanks!

[green tendon]

If you do that, also turn off cloud saves in steam if it's on and you're using steam.

[main hull]

cant get to the champions gate, like invisible wall

[balmy current]

!bug

[ripe brook]

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

[tepid light]

Can I make a build around any ability in this game?

Or does each spec have a clear best ability

[balmy current]

Mostly, yes, but some are better than others & a few (Acid Flask) really aren't great in a DPS role

[tepid light]

How about spellblade? I wanted to try out a lot of different builds with spellblade from the spells I saw

[balmy current]

Spellblade's good with the melee skills, yes, not so much with the spells.

[tepid light]

What are all the melee skills they get?

[main hull]

I mean did anyone enter the Champions Gate already, maybe it's not a bug but I just missed something

[tepid light]

Is shatter strike the only frost melee skill you can really build around?

[balmy current]

McFluffin did but someone else in chat was having issues.

[balmy current]

For cold, yes

[tepid light]

Is there a mage cold damage over time build?

[mystic acorn]

I am also unable to enter Champion's Gate

But it feels like there is a quest or something I might be missing.

[balmy current]

Probably with a (very) rare spear (Morditas' Reach) & Shatter Strike

[tepid light]

So sorcerer doesn't have a cold damage over time build either?

[main hull]

I tried to find any but failed

[copper fable]

cold damage over time is a niche ability that generally comes from frostbite stacking

its possible but not really an early game build

[balmy current]

You can build Static Orb to apply Frostbite (cold DoT)

[tranquil kindle]

If you're to the west of the waypoint, that's not the entrance to Champion's Gate, that's the exit from Soulfire Bastion. Try going north from the waypoint instead.

[mystic acorn]

Thank you

That was the issue

[main hull]

Same, thx a lot

[tepid light]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=22&v=9Fl8cY0kTak&feature=emb_title

How about this build?

I am new to the game so not sure what builds are realistic or not

because most ARPGs top recommended builds require a build enabling legendary / unique item or something unrealistic

[sand portal]

Does dread shades beyond death use your volatile zombie nodes

[unique palm]

did i miss a change for the icebowrouge? i am losing mana while channeling in meleerange...didnt had this problem before the patch. i did read the patchnotes but cant find anythign that could explain this problem

[copper fable]

Attack speed was double dipping, the way you most likely sustained mana was through the mana on hit in flurry

so you are attacking slower most likely which means less mana gain, but the cost of channeling is set per second regardless of your speed.

[unique palm]

ohman....oke i thoght about it....thats sad now..

[tranquil kindle]

Yes

[tranquil kindle]

We're reducing the added channel cost from the flurry multishot node in a hotfix.

[unique palm]

is it known, when you doing it? just so i can plan with it. dont want to change gear when you will hotfix it in 1-2 days 🙂

[sinful vine]

Is it just me or is performance better on high than on low xD

[tranquil kindle]

I don't know exactly when it's planned. I would guess Tuesday unless something critical comes up.

[tepid light]

Does anyone know if colorblind mode is coming? 😄

Or is there already one in the game

[tranquil kindle]

I would recommend building more for mana recovery though as the hotfix is not meant to make it as easy to maintain as it was before. The double dipping attack speed was not intended or balanced around.

[unique palm]

thx for that fast response 🙂 i love that direct contact to devs and mods 🙂

[unique palm]

if its a balance between the old and the new i can live with ym current mana reg 🙂

[cedar storm]

Is multiplayer or server side saves out yet?

[balmy current]

no

[cedar storm]

Ok, particularly interested in server side saves. Is that going to be a thing do you think?

[stone granite]

with multiplayer yes

[cedar storm]

Very nice

[serene atlas]

i'm having mad issues. this is my second day now playing and after the update i die in 2 hits no matter where i am

ontop of my build just not working anymore (marksman with flurry)

[copper fable]

flurry got mega nerfed so you might need to rethink how to tackle it

[serene atlas]

if i could survive more than half a second anywhere i would

[tepid light]

Could I get some help creating a shatter strike build? 😄

[stone granite]

When? How? Not in current patch notes

[copper fable]

attack speed had a bugfix sorry, its not a "nerf" but its efficacy went down

so you wont be able to play it the same as you did before the patch, because the way you generally sustained mana is through that attack speed.

This means bowmage also is less powerful potentially becuase it procs less because it attacks slower. etc etc.

[stone granite]

Flurry costs zero mana, why would sustaining mana even matter?

[copper fable]

Everyone plays channeled flurry which costs mana

[stone granite]

Wrong

[copper fable]

Well if you didnt play it then you didnt get nerfed? not sure what you are trying to say, im just helping the people who are playing the common channeled flurry builds

And wondering why their build isnt working anymore

[stone granite]

They are lvl 13, it's not flurry

[serene atlas]

Are you talking to me? I'm level 34 bro @stone granite

[stone granite]

Quote: "Why am I dying instantly at level 13 all of the sudden?"

[serene atlas]

I have a 13 acolyte and a 34 marksman. On both characters i'm equally dying instantly. It doesn't matter. I bought the game yesterday, played 7 hours straight with no issues. Today, i'm having issues. That's all I know

[barren crypt]

what level is temporal sanctum?

soulfire looks to be around 45 and arbor is 25

[dense root]

t1 is level 55

goes up to level 100 at t4

[barren crypt]

thank you

anyone have any luck finding lightless arbor keys?

[dense root]

i found like 3 or 4 after just a few echoes

and then my arbor dropped another one

[olive tinsel]

They are supposed to drop from MoF bosses, but are currently not doing that.

Will get fixed in the first hotfix

[daring aurora]

is there a way to see how mjuch ward my minions have? like, a bar or something?

[barren crypt]

Hmm

Ill just run around the areas or something

MoF?

[dire mist]

mono

[barren crypt]

lol i can't find any arbor keys to save my life

Oh yea monolith of fate

yea that's endgame, im only level 40

[tepid light]

Where do I go for build help? 😄

[marsh maple]

!multiplayer

[ripe brook]

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

[olive lily]

is there a guide for dungeons somewhere? ive just returned after a longer break and didnt even run the very first dungeon. like how to unlock, what they drop, if you should run them over monoliths and so on

[sharp quartz]

Not yet that I know of.... The Temporal Sanctum has been around so you may be able to find a youtube vid or two on it.... The Lightless Arbour & Soulfire Bastion are less than 24hours old.... everyone is still discovering things... 😉 The forum posts from the last week will have the basic info on the new ones.

[rocky fable]

I got 43% Void Damage increase or 23% Crit Strike Multiplier bare in mind this is a gaurentee crit build so I'll always be able to crit which one gives me more damage?

[stone granite]

Whichever stat is lower currently

[rocky fable]

I got 341% crit strike multi and 692 void damage

so i guess multi it is then

[balmy current]

The crit multi one is ever so slightly better (6.7% incremental v 6.2% for the void damage) assuming you always crit.

If your effective crit chance is under ~92% (ish) then the void damage one is better

[rocky fable]

@balmy current Yeah it's a void cleave ER build so

ER always crits as long as I hit with void cleave

[ripe hinge]

if ure chasing a unique like the squirrel head, is it worth clearing echoes/doing the bosses? Or is it better to skip stuff?

[ripe hinge]

is there a way to temporarily disable lootfilter and see all loot in the floor like in POE?

[lunar holly]

hold X

[olive lily]

what use is there for rune of creation? its not like i could wear 2 chests or 2 relics?

only real use would be for rings or twinks?

[dense root]

it’s good for things you’re going to combine with uniques in the dungeon

gives you more tries

[copper fable]

Exalted boots are very rare, especially exalted movespeed ones. So a lot of people use them for that, you can use it to dupe good sword so you can dual wield two really good swords

[olive lily]

mhm...

[ripe hinge]

can i farm the squirrel head while doing that?

[olive lily]

you can clear the echo quests only once. so no farming only quest 1. you have to do quest 1 - 2 -3 - 1 -2 -3 and so on. but you can farm a monolith endless and just dont do the quests

[ripe hinge]

I'm asking if an item drops while doing the quests

[olive lily]

you can have random unique drops in those stages, yes

but if you want to target farm, its better to farm unique/set notes

is there a way to put "Forging Potential" or "Legendary Potential" into the lootfilter?

im trying multiple options, but cant seem to find this specific option/criteria

[balmy current]

No, they explicitly don't want the loot filter to filter by FP or LP.

They want the filter to cut down on the amount of crap that you see but that you still have to make some decisions on what to use.

[dire mist]

you will see the item on the ground and you will be excited for it

[olive lily]

is there a filter-rule for: Hide all other items, which arnt affected by any rule in the lootfilter?

[balmy current]

Yup, put a hide all rule at the bottom

[olive lily]

ty :)

is there a key to look at the items on the floor, which are hidden by the lootfilter?

in poe its ALT iirc

[cloud kindle]

x can disable the lootfilter while you hold the key

[olive lily]

awesome :D

[rocky fable]

Can dungeon keys drop at lower levels?

Since Lightless Arbor is scaled for level 20 at first tier is it actually fesable for me to access it with a level appropriate character?

[brave ibex]

I believe the design philosophy for dungeons is that they aren't supposed to be played on your 1st character, as they skip portions of the story. Rather something you put in your stash for alts

[icy bronze]

should i wait til lvl 100 before i even worry about the new dungeons

i just got to monos

[green tendon]

Level 100 takes a long time. Probably not.

[tranquil kindle]

Lightless Arbor keys start dropping around level 25, Soulfire Bastion keys start dropping around level 47, and Temporal Sanctum keys start dropping around level 54. All have a higher drop rate at higher levels, and at higher corruption in the monolith.

[ripe hinge]

Hey, so I'm farming black sun for squirrel head, but I can't seem to get above 50 corruption. Is that the limit in black sun? All nodes either reset or -4 corruption

[icy bronze]

are affix tiers tied to item level? similarly, is there any meaningful difference in exalted items dropped at lvl 70 compard to lvl 90, outside of item base?

[copper fable]

Normal monoliths are capped at 50, you need to go to empowered to get greater then 50, and it starts at 100.

[ripe hinge]

Do you think I should get them empowered to then farm the squirrel head? I'm playing with normal wolves atm

[copper fable]

yeah normal wolves are plenty strong

it should be fine enough to get you to empowered to farm the helm

[minor vigil]

is there a bug w/ controller rn? i can't change my inputs

everytime i try it just displays this

idk if im missing something obv

[merry smelt]

Do I need a minimum quest completion to access the campion's gate? I wanted to just get all the idols + passive points on this character and go straight to endgame but apparently I can't go to the arena area

[stone granite]

Arena requires keys and some areas are only accessible in certain timelines

The arena is not really "endgame" either

the monolith of fate is the actual endgame and you have access at End of Time

[tranquil kindle]

That isn't the entrance to Champion's Gate it's the one way exit from the Soulfire Bastion dungeon. The Champion's Gate entrance can be found by going north from the waypoint (it's the other door icon near the top of your screenshot).

[merry smelt]

@tranquil kindle Thanks, found it

[oak bluff]

Okay so I have like 40 arena keys, and no dungeon keys where do I find them?

[analog copper]

Is there a way I can delete all my stash items easily I enjoy starting again each patch

[olive lily]

whats the use of arena? only for the ladder? or something else? super awesome xp? special or good droprate?

i see multiple people writing things like: "while farming arena keys: ...." why would you farm those specifically? ive got like half a stash and never touched that content (bc the wave-system is boring /just not for me)

[static glacier]

Delete the save folder

[analog copper]

Thanks

[late pollen]

What do I gain from further completing the campaign after getting all passive points and idol slots?

[teal raptor]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JH1QXQq81LY

[static glacier]

Final quest of a9 gives +1 all attributes

[late pollen]

@static glacier thanks!

[ripe hinge]

the exalted one is better right? Also, do you guys wait until t4 to seal an affix? or do you do it at t3?

[sharp quartz]

Much of a muchness really very similar... would depend on what is more useful to your build / res / endurance / block effectiveness needs.... Sealing affixes is REALLY hard after T1/T2... in all the times I have tried I dont think I have even affixed a T3, let alone a T4... Got a T3 seal from the Soul Gambler yesterday but never managed one on my own. I have taken to sealing affixes like +skill & 100% potion ailment clearing affixes because those are useful even at T1 level (almost guaranteed seal).

[dire mist]

i got t4 sealed ele res a few days ago on an exalted LGOB shield, its doable but gl lol

[static matrix]

is the cremation thing any good?

[safe harness]

What's the point of this? If it puts your roar on cooldown, isn't that pretty much the same as just casting it yourself?

[green tendon]

The point is to have one less button to press, I suppose. It's good if you don't have hotbar space for it.

Buuut it's in a shape so you'd have hotbar space, so I dunno man

[safe harness]

does it cast it even if your roar is on cooldown?

[static matrix]

There's no way to try to roll idols right?

[green tendon]

Correct

[static matrix]

damn i've got my mage to 85 and don't have any of the % lightning damage with aegis up 😦

[green tendon]

It's uncommon and only on 2x2 idols, so not suuuuper surprising but still unfortunate

[static matrix]

i've saved every idol that dropped (i think maybe i missed a few) and i hadn't watched any videos about builds until now

and they showed that in the video and i wish i had those

[exotic estuary]

@static matrix You're probably better off just highlighting/filtering for your build's idols instead of grabbing lots of idols you probably won't actually use (outside maybe some specific cases, like max rolled double life 1x2 idols).

[static matrix]

Yeah I mean if my stash ends up getting too full I’ll dump em all at some point

Same with legendaries, I have like 12 of the doom rings and a bunch of other duplicates like that

I’ve never went over like 15 corruption, Is the boss significantly harder at 50? I want that weapon

Apathy’s something

[exotic estuary]

Yeah, more corruption give monsters more health and damage, but also raises loot rarity/quantity.

You're better off waiting till empowered to farm for that though, as you can't scale corruption in regular monos.

[static matrix]

Hmm okay my build doesn’t feel too bad atm I haven’t failed any bosses yet

Idk how to unlock empowered

[dense root]

you have to complete all 3 of the level 90 timelines

then there's a thing you click on the island in the middle of them

[static matrix]

oh okay

i have like 1.5 of them done

is there supposed to be a way for me to level up more? I'm only 85 even after doing 1.5 of those lvl 90 ones

[dense root]

nah everyone is underleveled

[ripe hinge]

Does stability stack infinetly in empowered monos?

[static matrix]

at what part do i start worrying about sealing affixes n stuff?

[static matrix]

is this set any good? I'm looking for a new build to play and this is the only full set i have

[static glacier]

there are very very few sets people build around

and this is non of them id say 😉

[stone granite]

Well you never worry about sealed affixes. It's a gamble on any item and it's certainly not going to give you such a power boost that you should worry about it much.

[stone granite]

Yes

[dense root]

i mean the right sealed affix can be pretty big

since some affixes do mostly the same thing at t1 and t5

like cleanse is just the same stat

[stone granite]

Sure but it's not drastically affecting your build at all

[solar juniper]

i think sealing cleanse on potion use for belt is big at any point

so def try and get that one rather soon

[stone granite]

You don't need to seal it though

[solar juniper]

ofc

[stone granite]

so it's not really that big

belts suck for prefixes

[solar juniper]

but its pretty efficient as a sealed T1

[static glacier]

sealing an easy +1 skill can be fine too if you dont really need +2

[tired pond]

is +2 the maximum ?

[dense root]

no

you get +1 at t1-t4, +2 at t5 (highest craftable tier), +3 at t6, +4 at t7

[tired pond]

how you know the item has tier x possibility ? drop area matters or any exalted has it ?

[dense root]

exalted items have one or more t6/t7 affixes

not sure the lowest area level they can start dropping at but definitely all the monoliths have the potential for it

[tired pond]

so only after putin (!) them into forge you se the tier right ?

[dense root]

there're hotkeys for seeing the expanded affix descriptions + tier but i can't remember which is which off the top of my head

[static glacier]

T6 exalts start at area level 55 afaik, t7 at area level 90

With t7 being at least 20 times rarer

[ripe hinge]

just to confirm, If I have 1k life, 50% endurance, 200 endurance threshold, and I take a 1k hit, I die, correct? Endurance only counts if I take a hit while below the endurance threshold?

[copper fable]

nope it works even against 1 shots

as do most mechanics like that, so if you were also a primalist who had "25% less damage taken on low life" even if you have 1k hp and took a 1k hit, it would reduce all damage past 35% of your hp bar by 25%

[hollow cape]

If I rush to unlock Empowered Monoliths, does that unlock all timelines? Or do I still have to complete them.

[minor vigil]

what does "nearby" mean

[dense root]

you have to manually unlock the left side still

[minor vigil]

is it like poe where it means literally nothing

[ripe hinge]

is there a bigger explanation if u press alt?

[minor vigil]

not that i can see

[dense root]

i know for bastion nearby is a circle roughly the size of the end of time training dummy circle but not sure if this is the same for other nearbys

[hollow cape]

okay thanks

[minor vigil]

oh nice

[copper fable]

nearby is actually a set value in LE

it is the ring around the training dummy

[minor vigil]

that's incredible

[ripe hinge]

just to confirm, If I have 1k life, 50% endurance, 200 endurance threshold, and I take a 1k hit, I die, correct? Endurance only counts if I take a hit while below the endurance threshold?

[copper fable]

no

[icy bronze]

is there a meaningful way to improve these boots at this point?

https://i.imgur.com/gcTFHd9.png

i assume the only thing i can do is hunt for a exalted version

[dense root]

in terms of crafting these boots further all you can do is reroll implicit/explicits if you want to gamble on better rolls there

since t5 is the highest craftable tier

the next substantial improvement would be a pair with one or more exalted affixes like you suggested

[icy bronze]

is it possible to get an exalted item with more than one exalted affix? i've only seen exalted with one so far

[dense root]

it’s possible but very rare

theoretically you could get an item with four t7 affixes even

it’s just that you’d be more likely to win the lottery a bunch of times first

[icy bronze]

ha, yeah fair 😄 also i didnt think about rerolling implicits, i will do that. thanks for the advice. i really dig this crafting system, these are a super nice pair of boots for my build

[azure lion]

would it be possible to seal an affix if one of them was t4?

[dense root]

t4 is the highest tier you can seal in the crafting window but your odds of sealing go down as the tier of the affix goes up which means t4 seals are relatively uncommon

[exotic estuary]

If I have two 'enemies have a chance to dodge' modifiers, does that increase the chances that the enemy will dodge?

[olive lily]

how does this meteor node work?

does it refund 45% Mana of the Meteor just casted

or does it refund 45% of the mana of all the spells i cast 3 seconds, after i casted the meteor?

[green tendon]

The second.

For 3 seconds after a meteor cast, you recover 45% of the mana you spend on anything. If you cast another meteor within that 3 seconds, it just resets the timer, it doesn't double up.

or wait I'm wrong aren't I

[balmy current]

"nearby" is roughly the size of the circle around the training dummy at the end of time.

[green tendon]

I shouldn't answer questions while I'm extremely tired

Llama help

[balmy current]

It should be the former, if your last meteor cost 100 mana, you'd recover 45 mana over the next 3s unless you cast meteor again during that time when it'd "loose" any remaining amount to be recovered from the first cast & start recovering for the second.

[green tendon]

Thanks for correcting me.

I should go back to sleep.

[olive lily]

[round wing]

if I do lvl 90 mono with my lvl 75 character, is there a xp penalty?

[runic sonnet]

exalted item can only be found randomly on all timeline or can farm at certain timeline like unique item?

[runic sonnet]

i wont worry about that, coz u will have many mono to be done repeat n repeat

[stone granite]

There is no target farming exalts except in the case of the sanctum which has bonuses to drops of particular item types, but it is marginal.

[runic sonnet]

sad, make it very hard to find certain item with certain affix

with higher corruption, will unique item from boss have chance to have higher legendary potential or also totally random

[round wing]

thx

[acoustic thicket]

Do you guys know if shredding phys res, after applying a bleed stack, still increases it's damage ? ex : you apply bleed, 100 dmg first tick, then after shredding phys res once a 110 dmg tick

[acoustic thicket]

Also if I have the puncture node that consume bleed stacks to deal their damage instantly, does that damage count as puncture damage or is it separate (so if I take %more damage node on the puncture tree, will it increases the damage of the bleed I consumed ?)

[olive lily]

yes, dmg is calculated live, not at the point of application. so your example is correct. source: my dot fire res shred fireball sorc

[acoustic thicket]

nice ty 😄

[balmy current]

Yes, the xp you'd get would be as if you were in a lvl 80 zone.

[ripe hinge]

is this a % of the minions dmg leeched as my life or the minion leeches life?

[copper fable]

The minions leech the life

[ripe hinge]

sadge

[sacred verge]

hey guys, I have a staff with a free prefix. When I craft "Critical Strike Chance" on it, will it apply to spells? Or do I need specifically "Spell critical strike chance" for that?

[brave ibex]

Crit strike chance works for spells, but spell crit rolls at a higher value

[sacred verge]

thank you!

[icy bronze]

any recommendations on building a character around tornado? skill is very cool

[olive lily]

how do i progress from here on?

i just cleared the last normal monolith "The last Ruin"

and i dont know how to unlock the empowered ones

it says no more quest on the left side, but the Era on the top right still has the quest icon

[vestal knoll]

The like center bridge between the last 3 monoliths

[olive lily]

and i cant seem to find who its refering to

[vestal knoll]

If you got there you can activate empowered monos

[olive lily]

kk, ty

[harsh bear]

hey i havent played in half a year, all my old uniques dont have the "legendary potential" tag. does that mean i need to find all new uniques to make them into legendary?

[dense root]

yes

some uniques will still drop without legendary potential though

since zero is the most common amount

[minor vigil]

is it worth going low life w/o the boots

i havent found any with LP to put more movement speed on

[formal herald]

do characters that were created before this update have the ability to receive the new key drops?

[teal raptor]

I can't speak to the Soul Bastion, since I haven't gotten one, but you can definitely get Lightless Arbor keys on characters created before this patch

[formal herald]

maybe im just unlucky or they are pretty rare cuz i havent found a single key in a couple hours other than the temporal sanctum key

[teal raptor]

New dungeon key drop rate (soul bastion especially) feels pretty low. Easier to get them in empowered, but still blech

[tranquil kindle]

The keys are equally available to all characters. There is, however, currently a bug that means that monolith bosses only drop temporal sanctum keys, when they should be dropping random dungeon keys. That will be fixed in 0.8.5b which will be releasing shortly.

[formal herald]

awesome, thanks for the clarification

[static wren]

Minion Melee Damage Leeched As Health only counts for the minion right? It doesn't leech back to the player if the minion is a result of a cast?

[pseudo cipher]

correct

[static matrix]

Is there any especially good way to get gold? Or just farm monoliths

I did a lightless arbor and now I wanna build up a ton of money to go ham on one

[icy bronze]

iirc corruption increases gold drop amount

so empowered monos with high corruption should get you there

[static matrix]

Okay I need to unlock empowered still

[icy bronze]

i'm working on that myself

working on the last lvl 90 mono

[teal raptor]

It does technically, but the difference between last patch and this patch is so small it may as well not

[icy bronze]

hm. but farming monos is still the best way for farming gold, yeah?

[teal raptor]

I'd be surprised if the answer is "no", unless it's to say "high arenas"

[static wren]

Do you know of any items that allow me to leech through minions at all?

[pseudo cipher]

I can't think of anything that gives you leech exactly but there are a few items that give health on minion hit like this https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzCcCYGZiA

[static wren]

Ah yeah, that was the other phrasing that escaped me.. Health on Minion Hit

[icy bronze]

well this seems kinda nutty. is fireball considered a good build?

https://i.imgur.com/gx11zMG.png

[still wolf]

is there a way to make the UI smaller at all ?

[static matrix]

Is there a good way to get Rune of Ascendance? I've been doing all the rune nodes in monolith.

Are they just super rare?

[viscid musk]

Lightless arbor dungeon is good for farming runes (if you have enough gold)

[static matrix]

I’m poor on gold I did an arbor earlier and could only afford like 4 door upgrades

[viscid musk]

I did 2x t1 dungeon runs, put everything at the end into more runes, quantity, more chests. Payed 400k in total. Got 6 rune of ascendance. Was nice to get them quick. But yea in ssf its different

[static matrix]

Wym ssf? I’m just normal not solo chat

Char*

I just only have 1 lvl 86 and 1 lvl 71

I’m an alt-o-holic tho

[viscid musk]

When im low on gold i also go for rune echoes in mono. But those are rare, yes.

[static matrix]

Honestly I’m about to start selling arena keys for gold

[analog copper]

trying to do my echos and monos atm and every time I finish a zone it puts me back to the very first mono the level 58 one and not sure why

I have to teleport to the 75 one every time I finish a zone

[static wren]

are you using a controller?

[analog copper]

Yeah

[static wren]

That's the issue, there's a bug

[analog copper]

wow thats an annoying bug lol

[static wren]

Just open the mono with the mouse each time

[analog copper]

Thanks for the info 🙂

[static wren]

Glad I could help.. did my head in as well

[analog copper]

Just so much eaiser to loot with a controller lol

[sharp quartz]

Farming monoliths - especially the gold reward ones, can give decent amounts of gold - havent specifically counted but 20k per echo isnt impossible at higher corruption..... Also... if you dont like arena, then selling Arena keys for 6500 (if I recall the value correctly) is also a nice easy way to make money because plain Arena keys drop quite often... definitely do not attempt to make money selling gear... thats a loss making enterprise...

[sharp quartz]

Not that I know of...

[sharp quartz]

its ok.... not as good a lightning.... imho it could do with some tweaking to make it better.... if you can get that Cinder with a nice t6/7 flat spell damage and fire damage it would go from meh to wow....

[static wren]

What's the thoughts on cold dmg/chill/frostbite? The frostbite DoT seems kinda low damage compared to other dmg types

[winged thicket]

can reflected dmg crit?

[icy bronze]

I was looking at the 3 lp and the high rolls (except for the fire damage). This seems like a item i could make a potentially great legendary out of. I dont know how well fireball builds do though.

[tired pond]

You put bosses into ash really fast. Just get your fast casting amap.

[dim crater]

Where can I see the most recent patch notes?

[lunar holly]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/c/patch-notes/39

[lofty sonnet]

Hey guys. Is the game playable already or only for a few selected people?

[dense root]

the game is playable

[lofty sonnet]

Oh nice, thanks! Will buy it asap

[icy bronze]

Playable with a strong endgame. New classes and multiplayer yet to come. Its a good time to hop in.

[static matrix]

Does the Sunwreath unique item do the same as Worldfire on the tree for flame reave?

[balmy current]

yes

It's an alternative way to get the effect (but doesn't stack)

[main hull]

why exp goes further after lvl 100 ? is it a bug?

[minor vigil]

is there a way to force movement skills to just move you in the direction you're facing on controller

stuff like shield charge and rampage

[balmy geode]

Hey guys, I've been playing side by side with a friend, and we got to Heobora. Now though, whenever he tries to exit Heobora, either direction(including the one we came form) he hard crashes the game. We've tried updating his drivers, restarting, lowering all gfx to minimal, no dice.

Anyone had this before?

[balmy current]

Get him to have steam verify the game files.

[static matrix]

So for a skill like flame reave does it naturally convert 100% of weapon physical damage to fire?

[dark palm]

Does anyone know what 'transformed* means? On an acolyte robe

[exotic estuary]

While you're in a different form.

[static matrix]

so basically in the reaper form

[exotic estuary]

[dark palm]

ohh ok thanks

[serene atlas]

why do people say the game runs good? are they trolls or what? i'm getting FPS drops to the low 20s with a 3070 and an i7 10700. It's def not my computer so when I ask people just say "nope runs good" "buy a better pc" they have to be trolling right?

or is it specifcally a problem with summoner classes

[snow spruce]

No, its well known that there are performance issues, they're always being worked on, and it varies from computer to computer -- I also have a 3070 and a 5800x -- and it runs great

[teal raptor]

Optimization definitely needs to happen, especially when you're dealing with a boatload of minions or totems, or Wengari Shaman

Most of the time, I don't have issues. But if I what I noted above, and/or the game has been open for a particularly long time (multiple hours), performance takes a hit. A few other things can do it, too, but those are the big ones

[serene atlas]

lol alright. game runs great

must be my pc that can only noy run this one game out of all that i play

[copper fable]

its pretty typical of the genre honestly, PoE is the same way, Im on 8gigs of ram and I can play poe on low just fine with 0 lag, meanwhile people with super pcs turn it to low and still have 10fps and cant play

This game has a lot of the same problems where some hardware configurations just seems to get hit extremely hard with performance issues

even though they should be fine

[serene atlas]

i don't lag in poe, i don't like in grim dawn and I don't like in diablo 3

[teal raptor]

Like I said, minions/pets/totems can be a notable issue and cause drops. Some are better than others

[serene atlas]

yeah makes sense

[teal raptor]

That's one of the reasons wraiths got their summon cap reduced a little while ago

[serene atlas]

druids my first char in monliths so idk

hopefully void runs smoother

having max thorn totems and tenticles just destroys my performance. cpu stays at 10% gpu is also low so it's bizzare

[dusky osprey]

So I have been able to face tank everything so far....then Monolith Lagon...Seems like a transplant fight are there any other fight perfect bosses further down the monoliths?

[wanton crane]

how do you get dungeon keys?

[teal raptor]

Kill rares/bosses in monos (as in, timeline bosses such as Abom or Orybos)

[wanton crane]

thanks

[teal raptor]

You can get them before monos, but it's unlikely

[sharp quartz]

Dont think its a bug, as you can respect skills and then you need the XP to relevel them... even if you are at lvl 100... I figure its just a display thing...

[static glacier]

you get a LOT of xp at level 100 from the XP books making skill respeccs instant 😉

finish echo, dont grab the books, respecc, collect books, level 20 skills

[balmy current]

No, conversion only happens if it says it happens

[balmy current]

One can always respect skills, especially if they're mad skillz. Respeccing is an entirely different thing.

[calm raven]

have they announced a date for multiplayer yet? All of these updates look so fun but I've been waiting to enjoy it with friends

[lunar holly]

No, not yet. Just whatever is in the monthly updates.

!multiplayer

[ripe brook]

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

[urban dome]

If I re spec a skill do I get the points back to use on another skill ??

[lunar holly]

Not all of them, you get some points based on your character level (up to 10 points at level 80+) and you have to re-level the skill for the rest.

[urban dome]

Thank you. This makes re specs a lot more thout full.

[sullen condor]

So, what's the point in the new dungeons being things you can come across while playing the main quest if keys to run them are so rare that I've not seen one?

[dense root]

the dungeons are really endgame systems

they’re just placed partway through the story because alt accounts can also use them to skip portions of the story by entering with keys they got in the endgame on the first account

[sullen condor]

Ah. In the dev notes leading up to release they said "they're in the game as something you can find and do while doing the story", so I expected that.

[teal raptor]

Just a note, at that level it takes about 10 minutes or so to get all of them back, and more like 1-3 to get to 18ish. It's a very small amount of friction which gets lower the higher the content you're doing

[urban dome]

Good to know. Thank you

[static glacier]

an untwinked low level char will get really demolished in the dungeons 😉 thats more of a twink thing for people with gear and knowledge

[sullen condor]

Cool, just misread the intent of the dev log then. I was kinda excited by the prospect of "discover and do dungeons while levelling through the game semi-blind"

[daring aurora]

Salt the Wound reminder text reads "does not convert Crit Multiplier specific to certain types of skills", I assume that includes Minion Crit Multi, should the Gloves be worn by a Manifested Armor?

and "Melee" is a certain type of skills, right?

[mystic acorn]

I believe it would convert only minion critical multi as that's the only kind to affect Mani if it does affect it at all. It wont convert from 'melee' or 'spell' specific ones from my testing it on my person.

[daring aurora]

ok thanks, ill test the minion one out myself before i go for the build then ^^

i wanted to do a MA build with the new Torkefin Sword, since you can easily get 500+ phys res on your Manifested Armor, but with the nerf i think its considerably worse. but i still want to try a bleed build with it, so now im trying to find something else

[urban horizon]

Torkefin won't work with MA

[daring aurora]

really? why not? 😅

btw, im using MA with Shield Throw, which is a Melee Attack, according to the description, with that it should work, right?

[copper fable]

the question is can the minion gain viscera stacks

many unique features like that dont really work with MA because they are simply not coded to work, MA cant use skills granted by items or gain unique buffs I dont think

[daring aurora]

oh, i didnt consider that. well, Salt the Wound should work, right? so now ill just use that anyways, since the nerf for the new sword seemed brutal

[jovial leaf]

No, this not work for minions.

If u not see word minion around stats, u can't use with minions.

[urban horizon]

They cannot just like MA can't receive rav void stacks

[mystic acorn]

Shield Throw is a Throwing attack, not a melee attack.

[copper fable]

Well the shield throw hits the MA which causes it to do a melee attack

[static matrix]

where do i go to start empowered monos now that i'm done with all 3 90's

[copper fable]

the center of the platform between all 3, there is a thing you click on

[static matrix]

yeah i activated that thing last night

oh the legendary ones?

[daring aurora]

@jovial leaf well Manifest Armor "wears" the gauntlet, so it gets the stats and abilities on certain Armor you wear

[static matrix]

do i need to do the quest parts of the monolith immediately

or can i get full stability then go do all 3

[copper fable]

You can just save up if you want

[olive lily]

how useful is it to overcap resistance to 150% (to counteract the monster resistance-pen per Area-lvl)?

[dense root]

overcapping to 150 doesn't stop penetration

so not very useful

[mystic acorn]

It's not possible. They pen from your cap of 75% so you can't counteract it. The only argument for overcapping is if you want to push to 100% res so that you are immune to "Marked for Death" curse which is -25% res

[olive lily]

wouldnt 150% resist and 75% pen make me 75 resist?

[mystic acorn]

no

[sage siren]

could you tell who's batter vk are fg

[olive lily]

:(

[dense root]

that's not the order things are applied in

penetration applies after the cap of 75 is taken into account

[olive lily]

ty

[mystic acorn]

they pen from your cap. So you'd have effectively 0%(75%)

[dense root]

overcapping does protect against shred if i remember correctly but that's less important i think

[mystic acorn]

Marked for Death, poison, physical shred and shock are the only ones that could matter and they are rare enough that it's not worth the suffix investment

[olive lily]

y, operation of order already destroyed my intention. ty for explaining

[static glacier]

Thats just a change to prevent you getting crushed by only having eg 60% res

[olive lily]

can this skill hit single target?

[static glacier]

Yes

[olive lily]

or will it never hit the target it proced on?

ty

im trying to increase my warpath single dps

and this looks like a useable passive

im currently lvl 28

[static glacier]

Well usually that was used to procc smites via idols

[golden harness]

I have a question, are some of the + to level of skill affixes rarer than others? Because for example I have found plenty of item with + level to summon spriggan, but none with + level to spriggan form

[mystic acorn]

Yes, some are much rarer than others.

[golden harness]

oh ok, ty

[mystic acorn]

you can setup your loot filter to highlight items that have specific affix rolls like that on them. So for example change anything that has +n to spriggan form to be bright pink.

Then you can destroy those items in the crafting window with the rune of shattering and you're able to collect much more of those shards that way.

[golden harness]

yeah, I already highlight every item with a + level to any skill and then I shatter them to try and collect those shards

[balmy current]

the build planner says no. https://www.lastepochtools.com/db/search?query=level of&in_description=1&exact_match=0 They're all down as "very rare", due to the rare nature, their drop rates can be very spikey & it's easily possible to go for a frustratingly long time before seeing the one you want.

[mystic acorn]

hmm, I must just not have enough aggregate data on my account so far. Some feel much rarer for the rogue than others (ie some I have 50+ of other I am struggling to get 10)

[balmy current]

Yeah, that's what I mean by their drop rate feeling "spikey", some you won't see for a long time & others you'll have a reasonable amount of.

[static glacier]

its very easy the shards for your mainskill never drop at ssf 😛

[neat bloom]

do dungeons scale with your level? I'm level 64 and have soulfire bastion and lightless arbor keys. And should I just do them or save them?

[dense root]

dungeons come in multiple tiers with higher tiers being higher level than lower tiers

they don't scale to match your level though they just are whatever level the tier is

don't know the bastion and arbor tier levels off the top of my head by the third dungeon (temporal sanctum) goes level 55 -> level 80 -> level 95 -> level 100 for example

[neat bloom]

ah okay. I'd assume its the same so I'll try it out

[static matrix]

So I have all my resists at 75+ (except lightning is 74) and 1.6k life and somewhere between 400-1k ward at all times and I feel like empowered monos do a lot of damage, am I missing some important defense?

[midnight timber]

crit strike avoidance?

[dire mist]

armour, glancing blow chance, block

[static matrix]

I’m a mage using a catalyst so I don’t rlly have access to block

I think my armor is low tho

[midnight timber]

you can do csa with blessing + 1 gear affix

[static matrix]

I can’t rlly fit in other mods while keeping capped all res

[copper fable]

Res is less important then CSA and health for empowered

Res is useful get it when you can in large values, but skipping say hybrid health even t2 for a t4 res is going to make you less survivable overall

Health helps you keep from dying against all damage, where as resistance only saves you from a singular damage type, this makes health some of the most useful defensive affixes

The resistance penalty is set up in a manner that having a little bit of resistance is good enough, trying to max it out at the cost of other defenses will hurt you in the long run.

As a mage you can get a large chunk of element resistance in sorc and spending 6 points in spellblade.

[static matrix]

Okay I guess poe corrupted me in that aspect, I focused mainly on capping res with health as a secondary.

While also trying to keep 300+ mana but it’s hard to do all that without running out of forging potential.

[balmy current]

Res isn't as mandatory as it is in PoE. In LE, being 1% undercapped means you take 1% more damage, compared to 4% in PoE

It's still good to have, but you're not punished as much if you're not capped

[copper fable]

Yeah if you run around with 0 res in end game you only take 1.75x the damage of being capped, that means capping res reduces damage by about 43%, nothing to scoff at, but getting health affixes can easily double your health which is more EHP not to mention when you consider that health is more effective thanks to endurance

[balmy current]

But the trade of is that higher hp makes leech & other forms of sustain less effective since it takes longer to leech/regen/etc back to full.

[dire mist]

is leech a flat rate, or a % based on your max hp

ah flat over 3s

[granite helm]

did anyone got Dragonsong in game? listed as common drop but not a single copy in 12hrs of farming outcasts...

[mint prawn]

hello, is there anyway to show mana bar above of characters (like the health bar)?

[static glacier]

id guess you need around 6-10 runes of asecnednce to get one relativly reliable

they are quite common, bows seem pretty balanced in that regard

and its the best item of the new patch and really really really fun - so very worth it 😉

[granite helm]

idk, i haven't found 10 ascendance in my whole leveling process i think (80 now)

[brave ibex]

I have several, it's a common bow. Just random luck

[frosty mirage]

I just hoard my ascendance runes and never use them

I should do that on this bow though

[olive lily]

does healing effectivness affect leech?

[static glacier]

no

HEALING ... works on everything that says HEAL ... nothing else

so no leech, no health regen

[unique belfry]

hey i have problem why this passives points are locked?

im on chapter 7 and this quest is from chapter 4 ...

and it is not visible on my minimap

[lunar holly]

you need to invest more points in the earlier nodes (see the bar below) to unlock them

or I might have misunderstood your question 😅

[unique belfry]

i cant add them even those before

[minor vigil]

Even when you have available passive points to spend?

[eager magnet]

If you mean the node just to the right of the yellow line you need to spend more points in the tree to get to them

[olive lily]

is there any sense in pushing crit avoidance past 100%?

[dense root]

no

[olive lily]

ty

[fickle flame]

must i do empowered to get exsanguinous or can i do the normal one

[mystic acorn]

Normal one is fine, just more likely to get it in the empowered version.

[fickle flame]

oh i see ty

[olive lily]

empowered has the specific body unique/set notes, which makes target farming easier iirc

[balmy current]

Exsanguinous can drop anywhere after lvl 23 zones.

[olive lily]

is there a trick to reset ALL passive points instead of clicking 90+ times

[balmy current]

Nope

[minor vigil]

what would be a good application of a 1 lp rahyeh's light?

I can't get the planner to load past 40% on firefox

Cleared cache and cookies, rebooted PC, still doesn't work

[copper fable]

I just ctrl + f5ed on the stuck loading screen and it fixed it

Nope. Still stops at 40% for me

so can drop pretty much everywhere

[lean sigil]

Hi, I'm a diablo 3 player and really like this game. But I have trouble understanding the loot. I don't really understand how to see if an item improves my (minions) DPS or which stats to go for and when another item is better 😅

I've tried getting trough some guides and resource but maybe I'm missing something haha

[copper fable]

Have you read the game guide in game

it will cover the basics of how the game scaling works, if not, try reading that it can help. otherwise minions are annoying because their stats are hidden. You want to get minion damage, and whatever the attribute the scale off of on gear. For example for necromancers a good baseline is just getting Intelligence and minion damage as prefixes for damage.

[teal raptor]

Big thing to note, with some exception, stats that effect you do not effect your minions. They need specific gear affixes, both offensively and defensively. Depending on the minion and build type, this may mean going for minion damage over time, or for crit

Worth looking up a few build guides to grab their gear planners and see what kind of stats they focus on

[lean sigil]

Yeah I was going for a necro fire build

Maybe I need some more experience then 😉 Can you now quickly see if an item is an improvement over another ?

[teal raptor]

You can compare items to see the stat changes, yeah

[copper fable]

For minions it really does come down to experience to a degree imo. You will never be able to see a direct dps of a minion like a hit skill. So you need to understand what stats buff your minions and then its just "bigger number better"

[lean sigil]

Yeah,.but I'll look up some builds. I thought intelligence was important, but couldn't really fire out how it scaled

[copper fable]

if you hold alt on a minion skill

it will show you what it does

[teal raptor]

For instance:

[lean sigil]

Yeah was going for minion damage and fire damage

[copper fable]

fire damage wont work because it has to specify minion damage

if there was an item that said "100% increased minion fire damage" it would work, but generally most minion affixes are really generic.

[lean sigil]

Ah right

Thanks both! I now see what you mean with the alt on the minion skill and the +intelligence scaling

Helps a lot😉

[safe dove]

I wonder is there an ability like righteous fire (From POE)?

[pseudo cipher]

I think the closest thing to Righteous fire, insofar as it also damages you, is Aura of Decay.

Mage also has access to ways to proc Fire Aura, which looks more like RF, but mechanically is played differently

[copper fable]

Then there is lots of stuff that fills a similar niche of "DoT aura that you walk around with" Locust swarm just got buffed and seems very RF like currently

[pseudo cipher]

yep also Maelstrom

[safe dove]

Can Aura of decay scale so well for later on?

Or is it like a secondary ability ?

[copper fable]

I think it can be played as a main ability but it has some problems. if I recall correctly the reason its not so popular these days is because the poison damage it inflicts back to you is scaled by your own damage, unlike RF. so if you scale the poison to kill enemies you also kill yourself harder

its not very popular rn, but I dont know much about it so im sure you could make it work if you really wanted to. I think if you just want the aoe death cloud thing there is much better options rn.

[safe dove]

I see am gonna check locust swarm thanks

[tame ingot]

Why does umbral blades have the little fire pip, indicating that it can gain the fire tag, if it can't? The fire node Explosive Blades adds a half-fire subskill but the node doesn't add the tag to the main skill. Are there any other skills that have this behavior?

[carmine palm]

It makes sense since it adds a subskill which has the fire tag, since it's another skill within the skill the main skill shouldn't gain the tag

[tame ingot]

@carmine palm Just strange that the little element pip is there but you can't gain the tag, I don't know of any other skills that have the pip in the skills screen that only refers to a subskill

[dusky osprey]

is there a list of the approximate odds for drop rates, with regards to target farming echos?

[tame ingot]

@dusky osprey tunklab has relative droprates

[tulip talon]

can you guys help me to understand why in this scenario I have more dps with the 1 handed wand? i'm playing void knight and void + spell increase is both better in the 2 handed staff

devouring orb dps with the 2 handed staff is 13382 and 14384 with the 1 hand wand

[dense remnant]

its the cast speed

[tulip talon]

but cast speed isn't cooldown reduction... right?

[dense remnant]

correct

but with the information you've given, the only difference is that the wand hs cast speed

and the dps calcs for the tooltip arent 100% accurate

so the answer as to why its giving more with wand, is because of the cast speed

but as you realised already, the staff is more damage

:p

though you'd have to actually test to be 100%

getting orbs out quicker does mean the damage is coming sooner everytime the cd is done

but obvioulsy when you kill stuff they arent being a target dummy etc...

[tulip talon]

what's the character base cast speed then? unless it's over 1 second then it's hard to believe that such a massive reduction in spell/void damage could outperform the cast speed

[dense remnant]

but yes, the staff is more total damage for the entire duration of single orb

no idea off the top of my head

anda gain, tooltip dps isnt 100% accurate

like, just trust your instinct on this one

staff is more

[tulip talon]

thanks 🙂

[dense remnant]

but also you have bastion in your bag

so go with the wand

because bastion

[tulip talon]

just got it, that's why I was messing around with the wand and found the surprise hehe

[dusky osprey]

I am running the void auto bomber build can anyone give me a few pointers in increasing my durability? I got capped crit avoid, resistances, 2K-ish armor/HP

[static matrix]

someone asked me so it got me wondering

does this mean "increased poison damage" only

or like does "increased damage over time" apply

i assumed it was only poison damage like the first one

[tranquil kindle]

It's the second one. It's any damage stat that includes a poison tag.

[static matrix]

oh shit okay thank you

does that also mean any flat poison damage that goes to me goes to them too? or is that only meaning poison as in the DoT

[tranquil kindle]

Any flat poison would apply to them, but I don't think there's currenly any source of flat poison damage outside of specific skill trees.

[static matrix]

ah okay i was just curious

thank you for answering 🙂

[static matrix]

would something like this apply then?

[tranquil kindle]

No, as that increased damage does not have a poison tag. It's just generic increased damage.

[static matrix]

okay so "damage over time" doesn't either?

[tranquil kindle]

correct

Oh, sorry, I misread your earlier question as does "increased poison damage over time" apply, but you were asking about generic "increased damage over time". That doesn't apply.

[static matrix]

okay cool

so it has to say "poison"

[tranquil kindle]

yeah

[minor vigil]

is there a way to respec w/o pressing the confirm button every time lol

[main hull]

How fast the shield should be switched to survive t4 soulfire boss?

I mean I'm trying to adapt to his abitilities but got one shotted from opposite element every time

[balmy current]

nope

[minor vigil]

kk ty

[fringe bridge]

Hi all, are the MoF still the best way to farm for uniques with open legendary slots?

[knotty hinge]

I believe so.

[fringe bridge]

is VK Auto bomber much stronger than Smite hammerdin overall?

[mystic acorn]

I find hammerdin tankier and autobomber is more damage/glass cannon style. hammerdin can scale decent damage while using Bastion of Honor vs VK wanting to use a wand/catalyst or staff.

[marsh maple]

No. Smite hammderdin is stronger but it takes way more investment

Cause you need 3 smite idols at least to make it feel good

[fringe bridge]

ya ok, my hammerdin is lvl 100 with 4 smite idols atm

thanks 🙂

so hmmm, if the MoF are still the best way to farm for uniques with legendary slots, does the new dungeons provide anything worth farming them for? 🤔

[brave ibex]

Lightless Arbor is for big loot explosion when you have gold to spend, and Soulfire Bastion is... kinda bad

[merry aspen]

What I like about soulfire bastion is that you can go in without needing anything external. Sanctum needs uniques and exalteds, Arbor needs gold. The bastion provides no matter what. That feels good.to me.

[marsh maple]

Yeah I love the bastion too

[brave ibex]

I'd rather just run monos, maybe I've been unlucky with the gambler though

[minor vigil]

is stormtide better than something like this for a lightning smite paladin

wait i have no shock chance nvm lamo

[static matrix]

wtf you can get health potion drops called beer? lmao

[versed tangle]

several decades of armour shred stack is enough..? tons of stack seems useless acording to tunklab

[acoustic thicket]

I got beers instead of potions couple times as well 😄

[static matrix]

im trying so hard to find where the saves are to import onto the build site and i have no idea where they are

i've checked both the things the website suggests + more and i have no idea

[knotty hinge]

Are you able to see AppData? It’s hidden by default.

[static matrix]

i did %appdata% and looked through the folder there's no locallow, last epoch, or eleventh hour games folder

oh actually i figured it out now, it was opening the appdata on my ssd not on my hdd

[static glacier]

Well works like your armor so the first 2000 are incredible strong

After 5000 it really gets very flat

Depends a lil if you have armor shred effect but reaching the 15+ on a boss fast is usually very worth it for a hit build

[static matrix]

could this ever actually be any good?

3 LP seems nice but the item seems pretty bad

[olive lily]

the increased dmg taken roll is kinda high, but still very good gloves. slap some leech, att speed or health on them and GG

[cloud kindle]

I also have one with 3 LP, I wondered if I could use it with Manifest Armor or if the damage taken was a show stopper.

[static glacier]

You miss the crit from the implicit

Imho this is the show stopper

[noble notch]

helo everybody

can i ask something

[olive lily]

go ahead

[noble notch]

why i cant login in

[olive lily]

https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/error-le-29-linking-account/41197

also, pls remove that picture or black out your email adress

thats pretty personal information right there

[swift cairn]

Does that 5 hp per companion hit is for me or for the companions?

[cold plaza]

your companions hit things, your character gains life

[swift cairn]

cheers perry

This feels like a leveling weapon isn't it? Can't think what this could help with otherwise 🤔

[pearl night]

hey guys im new to LE, whats the end game loop looks like ?

[past moat]

monoliths obviously

but also dungeons if you got the keys

[pearl night]

so spamming monolith and then going to DG ?

[past moat]

yeah well dungeons if you want extra challenge and rewarding content

otherwise just spam mono until you gave up for until new contents

my question is that i wanna build about bleeding the enemy, and i thought if it's still worth a try?

[tired pond]

I found that for me personally the true end-game started on empowered Monol-system where enemies are buffed as hell and you can buff them even more for increased reward (rarity). This is the place to farm content and hunt for exalted items to make ultra high legendary items. Then (for my personal experience) the most dangerous evil to face is Julra T4-T5 in sanctum. I believe that there are not so many people that can farm her on this level of difficulty. This makes LE really good balanced ARPG for me.

[past moat]

good thing it is your opinion... i'm not sure i can mount into this difficult

[olive lily]

whats the amount of blockchance one should aim for?

75%?

[balmy current]

100%

[static matrix]

Is there a way to see the base damage on Fissure for Smite?

I'm wondering if I should go fissure in my javelin/judgement build or what

nvm i figured it out

holding alt on the node that gives you fissure won't tell you, but holding alt on the nodes that buff fissure does tell you

[minor vigil]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/volVypVQ i feel like im zdps and kinda zhp w/ this static orb build

level 75 lagon took me ages

idk if im missing smth

[brave ibex]

Would definitely go for a catalyst with base crit

[minor vigil]

ooooh duh

yeah my weapon is kinda trash

it just solved mana pretty easily

[brave ibex]

This is also like the best unique for that build to make it tankier, will take a while to get one though

[minor vigil]

yeah im working on that one

it's not cooperating

maybe ill put it on hold til i get twisted heart

[wheat scaffold]

So, i'm building VoidKnight Warpath, so far so great, but i noticed that my main skill (warpath), while i'm still the damage its 9k, but when i'm channeling, while i'm using, my damage goes to half of this, 4,5k ... Why this is happening?

[static matrix]

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

can anyone help me upgrade this? I have meh damage in monoliths with 100+ corruption

I know I also need twisted heart I'm currently farming for it but this is my main character to use to farm for it lmfao

[rustic venture]

hi does that work on health regeneration and the Spriggan summon

[snow spruce]

Health Regeneration is not healing, and if the Spriggan Companion heals ( I think it does) then it gets the benefit as described

[woeful comet]

What is the best poison build out there? Is it still blademaster flurry despite the flurry nerf?

[lean sigil]

Hoe do I know what to loot(filter) for when leveling rogue to a blademaster. I'm unsure if I'm leaving out important bits.

Are there some cues for most important affixes?now I'm going for one handed, melee, all elements, dexterity,, and everything higher then yellow (i.e)

[cloud kindle]

Flurry was not nerfed, it had a bug that was fixed. I heard it's more about Umbral Blades, now

[rustic venture]

do you lose your %max health with that^

I guess it would be written specifically

[brave ibex]

Nope it's just free endurance threshold

[dusky kite]

mobs have armor, resists, and built-in damage reduction scaling with level

[fervent quiver]

I know there are idol slots and passive points to be gained in the campaign, which you can see on the big map.
But there is also a +1 to all stats that isn't mentioned anywhere in the interface as far as I know.
Are there other "benefits" to be found in the campaign that you could miss?

[brave ibex]

No, the +1 attributes is a fairly recent addition

[wheat scaffold]

I don't think this answer my question. The value on the skill window goes to half, if I'm still it shows 9k, when I start channeling it shows 4,5k... I'm not questioning the damage I'm dealing, but the information about the skill...

1st- standing still
2nd- channeling

[brave ibex]

Could be an effect like this?

Attacking removes the buff which could lower the tooltip DPS

[wheat scaffold]

I really don't know... I while back while I was leveling it was the opposite, while I was channeling the damage kept scaling up...but now, it takes 1s to the damage goes half way down.

I'll search again on passives and skill nodes that may say something about any stats that I can havea, and during the play if any stats comes up that could explain (I did yesterday and saw nothing)

[brave ibex]

Are you using any uniques?

[wheat scaffold]

Yes. I looked them up too. Later I can show you if you want to, when I enter the game

[jovial leaf]

Nope. Mobs by default no have resistances, and armor and any layers of defense. Excluding damage reduction what scales with zone level.

@wheat scaffold use boss dummy on champions gate. This show u real damage.

[wheat scaffold]

This won't help me. I'm interested in knowing why warpath's tooltip changes while I'm stationary to when I'm channeling, showing a lower dps in the 2nd scenario. My real damage I know, but I'm trying to understand why this happens so I can change/stop this form happening and be able to deal more real damage.

[fervent quiver]

How exactly does wandering spirits work? Is the damage dealt as soon as an enemy is touched, meaning I want the spirit to touch an enemy, move away, and touch them again, or is the damage dealt for the duration of the contact, meaning I want the spirit to stay inside the enemy for it's whole duration? Wondering how more / less spirit movespeed affects the ability

[mystic acorn]

Poison flurry is still fairly good, I'm still around 5 million DPS with it, but the absolute best now is thrown totem spriggan poison.

[dusky kite]

That's cause the thorn totems are currently bugged and you can have 18 out

[rustic venture]

That should heal me right

also it should benefit from +healing

allies = me

[brave ibex]

No, you aren't your own ally

[rigid briar]

You are in fact your own ally. However in newer skills we write it with a bit more clarification, like "you and your allies"

[nocturne dune]

The new unique Singularity states, "You cannot deal Critical Strikes"
In the Bone Curse tree the Illusion of Pain node says, "Always Crits"
Which one takes precedence? Will I still be doing crits with Bone Curse if I have Singularity equipped?

[fervent quiver]

No beats yes. You will not be able to crit.

[nocturne dune]

Hm okay thanks

[rustic venture]

@rigid briar ty :)

[fervent quiver]

Do any of the attributes increase ailment damage (bleed, poison, ignite, frostbite)? Or does it just depend on the scaling of the skill that applies it?

[snow spruce]

They only have the last unless otherwise specified

[snow spruce]

Based on the skill

[fervent quiver]

Thanks 🙂

[rustic venture]

is the middle one unlockable?

[spare pewter]

No.

[rustic venture]

ty

[fervent quiver]

The idol space was previously a full square, but that allowed stacking all of the same idol type. The current one is this way to make players use different idol sizes.

[olive lily]

LE down? game is suddenly asking me for account and pw when starting over steam

[rustic venture]

will that buff the healing of my sprigan thus healing me more

[snow spruce]

Yes

[rustic venture]

ty for the answer 🙂 also, it says tier 1

can I upgrade it somehow

[balmy current]

No

[minor vigil]

is the blood on emperor of corpses just like a dps check

i can't tell what spawns it

[vague karma]

so when the multiplayer comes out do we know how the loot will work? is it going to be personal loot like d3 or more of a PoE loot style?

[rustic venture]

Any way to see past top 100 in the ladder ?

[knotty hinge]

https://lastepoch.com/ladder displays the top 100 per class. Beyond that, no.

[rustic venture]

awwwwwww

ok ty 🙂

[exotic estuary]

Had the happen once or twice; I've found restarting steam helps.

[static matrix]

Is Acidfletch bow + Sanguine Hoard quiver Hail of arrows bleed+poison viable at all?

[olive lily]

How does Blind work with Dodge? Are both seperated rolls or should i use blind only, when im having dodge as well (my paladin has 0% dodge, but 3X% blind on hit on the weapon and im thinking if thats a dead mod)

[fervent quiver]

Blind has nothing to do with dodge at all. Blinded enemies might shoot their projectiles erratically instead of targeting you and have less critical strike chance.

[rigid meteor]

So is the singularity idol any good? It seems kind of bad to me since you can only use one and it removes crits, am I missing something important? Any input would be appreciated, cheers!

[lost brook]

I have a question about the "hidden blade" node in the dancing strikes skill tree.
Is the triggered version of the shadow cascade always the basic version of the skill? Or does it use the skill you've upgraded in it's respective skill tree?

[brave ibex]

It's a niche item to boost hit builds that struggle with getting high amounts of crit. You can just avoid investing in crit and put those stats elsewhere. It's still relatively unexplored but I think Devouring Orb and Volcanic Orb are good candidates (no crit in base tree, forcing you to use a catalyst/rune dagger/prismatic gaze, and build a ton of %spell crit affixes, and even then you probably won't hit 100%)

[rigid meteor]

Makes sense, thanks for the reply!

[fervent quiver]

I'm using it with Glacier since there are so many more damage multipliers in that tree that you can fill out your 20 points with damage without touching the crit nodes. The damage is probably a little lower, but my survivability is through the roof because I dont have to invest in crit.

[static matrix]

Can multiple fissures from smite stack for more dps? Wondering if duration would be worth it for single target dps

[rustic venture]

if upheaval is a totem will it create a totem instead of using the ability

[marsh maple]

it will yes @rustic venture

[shadow pulsar]

I sometimes wonder if they tested having different idol layouts for each class.

[north prairie]

hey just checking in, is there multiplayer in this game yet?

[knotty hinge]

Not yet.

[minor vigil]

Do exalted nodes only drop gear your class can equip

[midnight timber]

no

[pliant shadow]

The reward itself for the echo, I feel they are the vast majority class specific and are a great source for rare class specific mods.
Dropping from enemies like in an echo, they seem random.

[olive lily]

first time seeing bonus corruption, whats the condition to get those?

[azure lion]

high corruption on other monoliths I think

like a catch up mechanism

[fervent quiver]

Correct.

[lofty sonnet]

Is there plans for multiplayer?

[minor vigil]

they are working on it

[lofty sonnet]

Amazing!

[eager magnet]

!multiplayer

[ripe brook]

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

[finite plume]

Have the devs mentioned anything about how they're going to implement trading and/or an auction house?
Please ping if you know

[brave ibex]

We know nothing about how they will implement trade

[finite plume]

ah. shame

[brave ibex]

Well, we know it's NOT going to be like the bazaar, which was something like a randomised selection of player items for you to buy. They scrapped that very recently

[glass hawk]

Anyone got a nice crit summons build they'd like to share? Currently im doing frost archers and frost mages but I wanna compare to some other builds

[olive lily]

is there any sense in clearing ea empow. Mono at least once?

[brave ibex]

Sure, to get an empowered blessing from every one

[fallow ingot]

sorry if this has been asked before, but I'm coming back after a couple of months, where do I find the new dungeons? are they available while leveling? I'm leveling a new character and would like to try them out if its possible

[brave ibex]

You can run them while levelling, but you need a key, and they aren't super common. You can see them on your minimap, there's a little dungeon icon

[fallow ingot]

I see, and the keys while leveling are a rare drop or is there somewhere specific I can find them?

[brave ibex]

They drop randomly. You get a lot more at endgame, because the idea is you can use keys on alts to skip parts of the campaign

[olive lily]

dont worry, the keys tell you where you can find the dungeons

AND they are marked on the map

i.e.

[fallow ingot]

Oh I see probably should try farming some for a different leveling experience

[olive lily]

for difficulty id recommend temporal sanctum < Soul Bastion < Lightless Harbor

[fallow ingot]

thanks a bunch

[olive lily]

yw

[olive lily]

how important is ailment cleanse via pot (the belt mod) for endgame?

[knotty hinge]

I don't leave the house without it. Keys, wallet, phone, cleanse on potion use.

[fervent quiver]

Level-wise the lightless harbor is the easiest though, with the first zone being like what, level 20ish?

[olive lily]

yes, lvl-wise indeed, but imo difficulty wise its the hardest one

bc boss slam is so lethal

even for tanky builds

[fervent quiver]

I've had no issue running without it, but I also have 10k ward so barely anything can hurt me. Probably good to have, but not totally mandatory.

Yeah that's fair.

[serene atlas]

are empowered monoliths suppose to be insanely hard? I was clearing the game finally after tweaking my build/gear tons and tons of times.. now I get to empowered monoliths and it seems no matter what I change, what defenses I add... doesn't make a difference. I can only clear them about 30% of the time, the rest are just failed over and over.

i really wish enemy modifiers weren't so intense. "Void enemies deal 109% increased damage" leads to an instant death for me, idk how to clear them. I hate having to watch which one i choose...

[mystic acorn]

Sounds like you're lacking in some sort of defense or healing layers and may need to consider correcting that.

[serene atlas]

I did.

so far

watcha think i'm missing

(i lost a few resists with my new ring but it hasn't been noticable)

[dense root]

you should really be capping crit avoid and endurance

especially crit avoid where anything under 100 is basically 0

[serene atlas]

yeah i had crit capped too, lost a few % with that

didn't make a difference

do I need to just watch modifiers?

[mystic acorn]

endurance %, resistances(for other types, void is probably fine) and a source of leech. also capping crit avoid (but 7% is fairly minimal and shouldn't lead to that experience) I do feel your regen might be a bit low. I think I'm around 4x that much off the top of my head.

Although I assumed you were autobomber, if that is melee then you're fine for leech.

[serene atlas]

i swapped to hammerthrow / smite which helped a lot but the second I stop hitting i'm dead, or get placed in a few bad AOEs

i'll try losing some damage for more edurance

[balmy current]

Do you have much leech? VK can get a lot of void leech. Might be easiest to link your build in the build planner. https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/

[serene atlas]

i'm using avarice, siphon of anquish, and melee leech from my wep.

[mystic acorn]

You can upload it from your character save too, don't be like me the first time and put the whole thing in manually

[serene atlas]

is there a way to like import my char into build planner?

ohhh nice

[balmy current]

Yup, the little up arrow on the left side

and the icon below that gives you a link to share

VK aren't the tankiest of masteries but they do get a lot of sustain from their leech & damage

[serene atlas]

yeah i'm trying to find the folder with my character

[balmy current]

C:\Users[username]\AppData\LocalLow\Eleventh Hour Games\Last Epoch\Saves

[serene atlas]

not seeing appdata. isn't that hidden?

[knotty hinge]

YEs.

[serene atlas]

looking up how to unhide it now

[dense remnant]

but also you dont have endurance capped, res's capped, crit avoid capped, your health is low

[serene atlas]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/PAVa3V4o

atm

[dense remnant]

shields not great

[serene atlas]

nope, best i've found

[dense remnant]

get a rare ironglass

craft it up with decent stuff until you get bastion

belts not very good, big source of health if you get a good one

the t6 dodge% is giving you like 0.x% dodge

[serene atlas]

yeah i was experiementing with it

i'll try swapping that out for something else

[dense remnant]

the gloves are a waste of a slot

[serene atlas]

isn't the leech worth it?

[dense remnant]

you have 5% from tree, and your running siphon

and also the gloves are only elemental

[serene atlas]

oh yeah.

[dense remnant]

which is nothing, cus your smite is void

also the julras ring is probably bad

[serene atlas]

yeah i was just playing around with it today

[dense remnant]

your chest piece is actually pretty nice

getting t4 necro sealed for vk is big

id probably not run that helm either

void aegis is a really nice passive to get also

can just drop 2 out of overwhelm and 3 out of dread to max that out

would also recommend void flux

as a safety net

[serene atlas]

not sure if that's better?

[dense remnant]

But mainly you just want to focus on getting res's capped, endurance capped, crit avoid capped, and get more health on stuff

last epoch is not a game about finding as much damage as you can

damage is basically free

[serene atlas]

yeah i'm learning that. i went too much dmg

glass canon just isn't working with this class

[dense remnant]

so you want to hard focus in on defensives, and if you arent doing enough damage its because your skills/passives arent great

[serene atlas]

too much aoe, too much stuff going on

i completely shred but i die too quick

thanks for the help. i keep pretty much everything i get. i'll go through it all again

[dense remnant]

also in terms of damage, a better weapon will add a lot

[serene atlas]

just replaced my last one xD still keep an eye out for something. should have seen the last one ;P

[dense remnant]

main thing to take into account is that your damage is from throwing and spells

so only 1 affix on that weapon does anything

[serene atlas]

does void apply to smite? my throwing does no damage, it proccing smite is where my damage comes from

[dense remnant]

then you want a wand or rune dagger (for crit)

[serene atlas]

ah okay

[dense remnant]

or scepter maybe

but if you go wand you can get like, spell damage % and spell crit chance%

scepter you can get spell/void % and spell crit % (or just both the damage %'s)

rune dagger you'd pretty much be stuck on crit chance and crit multi

but sword is definitely not the route
