dosnt work

can someone help me?

[sharp quartz]

Open a thread on the forum technical support/bug section & post your player.log, le_graphicsmanager.ini and dxdiag report and I'll try and help

[cold swift]

for some items (main hand and rings) the % fire damage modifier doesn't increase my minions' fire damage. is this intentional? could someone explain how this works lul

https://i.imgur.com/VNCwsD4.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/KmLtiig.jpg

is it supposed to work for every slot except those? xd

[copper fable]

it shouldnt for any tbh... it has to say "minion damage" to work, so "minion fire damage" from idols works

but just "Fire damage" shouldnt.

the character sheet (C button) is also a bit wonky

[cold swift]

oh, the other pieces of gear have minion damage on them which also increases their elemental damage I guess

guess I have played on a gimped char the entire time LULW

nah think it is correct

[copper fable]

The way that sheet works is that any generic bonuses apply to all the values

so if I had 300% generic minion damage it will show that I have 300% minion damage as well as 300% fire minion damage

So just be sure to not add up two values

as it will most likely give you wrong values if you are trying to work out just how much damage you have lol

[cold swift]

oh

I see ty

I can't see to find the option for ''minion increased x elemental damage'' tho 😦

in the filter options

that's why I assumed it worked like I thought it did and set up the filter like this xd https://i.imgur.com/uP9cpBk.png

[copper fable]

its not really available

[cold swift]

oh

LUL

the joys of playing a game blind Sadge

[copper fable]

there is idols that have it, and there is generic minion damage for most slots as well as minion spell/melee on weapons

[cold swift]

ah I see

so no need for it I guess

[copper fable]

And generic attribute scaling is very good for minions as well, intelligence is worth stacking.

[cold swift]

yeah noticed

this is it right? https://i.imgur.com/GDPgbhM.png

I assume shared is minions gets it too, regarding idols

[copper fable]

yeah

[cold swift]

oki, ty Dice

[copper fable]

https://i.imgur.com/68qabHg.png there is also this one

specific to acolyte

[cold swift]

yeah saw it, ty

I guess the shred armour affix doesn't work for minions too, right?

[stone granite]

Has to specifically state it works for minions

[cold swift]

oki thanks 🙂

[warm birch]

Modifiers in this game are pretty straightforward given names, but if you need more details hold alt over the item or go into the Game Guide [G].

[sly brook]

is it intended that after using time shift in julra dungeon, then i use volatile reversal, i would be teleported to the corner of the room where there are void puddles?

[minor kindle]

This may be a known issue？

lot of people are saying this

[sharp quartz]

This is a bug with VR & time shift (D)... VR gets its knickers in a knot if you time shift and then hit VR - it doesnt know where to go back to because of the time shift... If you wait longer than the VR reversal (i.e. stay in one time for long enough), then it can work, but even then its not perfect....

[sly brook]

i see. i guess i gotta be carefule when using VR for now hopefully this gets fixed

[fresh flume]

any idea why i cant enter the empowered monolith in the black sun

do i need to complete quests or anything

[balmy current]

You need to do the final 3 (lvl 95?) monos then click on the chest/box thing in the middle of all 3.

that they unlocks all of the empowered monos

then you go to whatever mono you want to do empowered & click on it & selected empowered.

[fresh flume]

where are they

[balmy current]

They're the 3 monos after Reign of Dragons (Last Ruin, Age of Winter & Spirits of Fire).

[fresh flume]

oh i see

i havent done spirits of fire

[potent edge]

https://gyazo.com/0bdb4533dc12ee0ec232f75a6f27f974

does that mean its impossible to get LP on it?

[copper fable]

higher just means harder, its not a strict mechanic, some have higher then 100

[native sail]

Yeah for example Ravenous Void is like 116

[copper fable]

if it cant have lp, it says that, For example normal gamblers fallacy says "Cannot have LP"

[balmy current]

That's just a number the devs use to calculate the chance of said unique getting LP, it has nothing to do with level.

[minor kindle]

So has anyone come up with a correspondence between the effective level of LP and the drop rate of each LP value by unpacking or data statistics?

For example, I once tried to farm 40 Bhuldar's Wrath (90 LP effective level) and only 2 of them were 1LP

[balmy current]

No, the devs haven't given us the formula, but they've said that a unique with ~116 & you dropped one every second you'd be waiting more than the age of the universe...

[minor kindle]

[balmy current]

But uniques with low effective level are significantly more likely to drop with LP than those with high effective level.

[loud harbor]

I don't suppose there's a way to recolor items filtered through a loot filter, WITHOUT showing them by the same rule? E.g. I would like to show certain subtypes of items, THEN recolor/emphasize if they have good affixes. Currently I either have to have the list of affixes included in each "show x subtypes of swords", "show x subtypes of maces" rules (which makes it annoying when i want to add/remove a wanted affix, because I have to manually change all the rules), or go through negative "hide all but X subtypes of swords" filters first. Because if I do "show XY" and then "emphasize whatever has fire damage", it will show all item (sub)types with those affixes, regardless of the "show XY".

(hard to explain properly, hope I did an OK job)

[copper fable]

You could have a rule that says say "Show all soul harvesters with affix" and color it red

Then a rule above it that says "Show all soul harvester with 3 affixes sum of atleast 10" and color it purple

This means if a normal soul harvester with just the affix you want but low levels drops, then it shows as red. But if the good one drops even though it meets the criteria of red AND purple, since purple is higher it highlights it in purple.

But otherwise I dont think you can do it within the same rule, you need multiple rules.

[fresh flume]

is this spell damage only for disintegrate?

[copper fable]

nope its global spell damage

[stone granite]

Well why would you show them at all if they don't have good affixes? That's the point of having the loot filter, to hide things not worth picking up

[loud harbor]

I would ideally not show them. But I can't figure out how to do that without having the list of good affixes included in each item type/subtype rule. With that it is possible, but changing your desired affixes then means you have to re-edit all those rules.

[loud harbor]

I get that, thanks. Would've wanted only one affix-based rule and then several item subtype-based rules. Sadly I don't think that's possible.

[stone granite]

Yeah I don't bother setting filters for specific sub types of items, that just makes it really messy

[copper fable]

You will find that you will need to change your filter a few times anyways as you get gear

Atleast I like to refine it once Ive got basic gear down

You could try looking at the premade filters from letools to get an idea of how to filter.

I personally set up my filters to be 1/2/3 affix color coded, and I ignore the sum since in the current crafting system basically what matters most is finding items that have as many of the affixes you need first

And as I gear out I then start to limit it to specific bases

[placid sky]

Hey Guys! Is there a fix for the cutted HUD with a 1920x1440 resolution? And am I the only one who can’t open the map with controller? :)

[ornate creek]

If your Steam game stops syncing, is there a fix? I've verified the files.

[sharp quartz]

Not really... any res not 16:9 ratio tends to have an issue or two where things dont fit properly. Yours is 4:3 and is very uncommon these days.... The only guaranteed way to resolve this is to change the res to something else. Dont use a controller so dont know the issue with opening the map using one - sorry

[sharp quartz]

What do you mean exactly? The game hasnt had updates in a while now so there is nothing to sync install wise.... If you are losing progress in saves...You may have a corrupted save that is preventing saving - this can and does happen - it can even prevent saving entirely different chars progress.... if this is the case then its not Steam Cloud causing the issue. To check this, you can look in your player.log and see if there is any debug mssage related to a file name "1CHARACTERSLOT_BETA_##". Usuallly you have to remove the offending / corrupted file (and yes, lose the char) you will also have to remove the corrupted file form your steam cloud manually..... If its not a corrupted save, then continue reading..... Do you use multiple systems and have steam sync across then? I never use Steam cloud anymore - it has given me so many issues in the past that its one of the first things I disable with games... Depending on where the sync has failed - i.e. Steams copy is old or the local copy is old, you could disable steam cloud, remove the older files from either local/cloud and then get steam cloud to resync in the correct direction (ie. sync to cloud or sync to local)... Just be VERY careful to backup anything before trying this.... You may also need to login to Steam via a web browser and check your Remote Storage to see what files it has stored and remove the problem ones...

[placid sky]

Yeah I know but I play on my iPad via Gamestream … that’s why I have a 4:3 res :/
But thanks anyway :)

[stone granite]

That sounds painful. Can you stream it at a lower res that uses a normal ratio?

[placid sky]

Yeah ofc I’ll play at 1980x1200 … that’s okayish … could do a smaller res too but that will be smaller and smaller on my iPad 😂

I got black bars instead of a screen when I lower the res ;)

[sly brook]

is there a way to check dungeon rewards without spending a key?

[minor kindle]

Yep

Keep the item interface open, only close the dungeon interface, and then click the door of the dungeon again to get the key back

[sly brook]

nice! that did it! thanks! @minor kindle

[still patio]

Maternal Instinct will work with Artor's Loyalty and Natural Bond?

[balmy current]

Yes, the baby scorpions aren't companions, they are your Scorpion's minions (not your minions).

[still patio]

Companion bonuses will work on baby scorpions?

[balmy current]

No, because the baby scorpions are minions, not companions.

[ornate creek]

Thank you. That might explain things. We had an electrical storm and a brown out.

[vague bloom]

In general, is it best to spread your skill points asap, or is it best to max out each one as you go

[balmy current]

Kinda depends to be honest. Sometimes there are specific nodes that make the build much better or even work at all & it may be preferable to go for those initially.

[silent juniper]

New player here. I've got a Void Knight I've leveled to 76, and I've been doing echoes to try and level/upgrade gear. One issue is I'm now drowning in excess uniques and idols. I'm sure a lot of them are garbage, but is there a productive way of getting rid of those? I haven't come up with any ideas other than just selling to a vendor which is a bit of a feelsbad. Anything I'm missing?

[midnight timber]

stop picking them up unless they're something you need/want 🙂 personally, I'm a packrat, so I save 1-2 of each unique in case I want them for a toon later, but even that costs a fair number of stash tabs 🙂 YMMV 🙂

good filters are the key to happiness 🙂

[silent juniper]

Yeah, I quit picking up a bunch of stuff. Just wasn't sure if there was a way to destroy them for crafting materials or anything that was a better usage than just selling them. I've been using Boardman's build guide and the loot filter it suggested.

[midnight timber]

nope... can drop them on the floor or haul them to the vendor, but that's a waste of time IMO 🙂

[burnt stump]

anyone else on linux having graphics bugs?

[still patio]

Thanks!

And so - can i trigger Aspect of Viper by totems?

And Sweet Release. This cannot exceed your maximum number of baby scorpions. What that mean? I cannot summon 4 baby scorpions and more?

[untold sorrel]

Guys, how dive into the Multiplayer Beta?

[native sail]

You don't for now. It's closed community testing and the team is full. Applications may be open again in the future but currently you are very late to it.

[dire mist]

only seeing them on the character select screen, star shader not ending correctly in code and applying to everything

[burnt stump]

same, but also the UI looks fine, but then the actual game graphics are all fuzzy

[dire mist]

You could just have the render settings set to low in graphics

[burnt stump]

no. they are setr to ultra

and 4k res

I am running a rtx 2080ti ryzen 3900x 32gb ram on the latest ppa graphics drivers

[vague bloom]

Is there a trick to lagons temple

Bc I've been exploring it for the past 2 hours and havnt found the exit (game also crashed twice)

[cold plaza]

it's like a big C, going toward the top right.

[sharp quartz]

There are a few Linux specific issues but its hard to troubleshoot things here in discord... From your threads it sounds like some sort of scaling issue but thats just guessing... Open a post on the bug/technical section of the forum - be sure to include your settings files, player.logs, screenshots if you can and as much specific info as you can...

[burnt stump]

alright

[sharp quartz]

I get those here all the time... UPS is a must.... Unexpected shutdown could explain save corruption and/or Steam going out of sync... hope its resolved...

[balmy current]

no.

Minions are not you

[ornate creek]

Working on it, chief! And why no salute emoji? Ever? 🤔

[still patio]

Sweet Release. This cannot exceed your maximum number of baby scorpions. What that mean? I cannot summon 4 baby scorpions and more?

[balmy current]

The max number of baby scorpions you can have at a time is capped though I can't remember what it is. The Sweet Release node allows them to be summoned faster if/when they die by using your Scorpion's ability.

[still patio]

Thanks!

[still anvil]

anyone know how can i farm gold at low level 50 ? i mess up at gearing whith high dodge and too low resistance

now any damage over time hit me like a truck

[balmy current]

Just kill stuff, you can also do the initial monolith & go for the gold reward nodes.

[warm birch]

Really just play the game.

[fierce kraken]

If you are talking about poison enemies a cleanse belt is HUGE for defense.

[still anvil]

not just poison but sometimes something like black void area effect hurt like hell

[fierce kraken]

Are you talking about Julra's pools in the timeless sanctum?

[still anvil]

no just maping

i just start this game recently

[fierce kraken]

What is your void res?

[still anvil]

34

[fierce kraken]

Rule of thumb is to cap your res to 75

Even get 60 is probably good enough to start

[still anvil]

my bad i dont know that dodge cant help me with many shit at chapter 9

i just choose doge dmg dex on gear and now it backfire on me.chapter 9

[fierce kraken]

Try doing monoliths and going back to ch 9 later.

Yeah, the game needs to balance out it's damage spikes to teach you the importance of defense.

[woven fulcrum]

I ran into same problem trying to do my squirrel build
and wanting to use Aspect of the Shark
You'll most likely need to have your own hit skill
since I went bleed I was using Upheavel.
You could think about Serpent Strike.

[stone granite]

Well I feel like you should have defense figured out by chapter 9

[broken pivot]

Res isn't as necessary as it is in PoE, stacking health is usually more effective

[warm birch]

Is there a good Unique wand or some other weapon for ignite sorc? Currently been using nothing but cinder song and it's been doing well

[vague bloom]

Ignivar head

Spam casts fire aura

[warm birch]

I'm not looking for that, already have it and I don't do channeling.

[tidal compass]

Hello ppl!
I am new here.

Please, do you know if this bug when you teleport back by portal with ur minions they do not come with you and instead they kinda "walk" to you?

[stone granite]

Well that is one of those "bugs" that don't matter because honestly you should never need to town portal from a zone and return

[tidal compass]

seems fair.

[stone granite]

I only noticed it when I died and restarted in the zone because my minions did not die

[tidal compass]

yeah. I just started playing and Iam grabbing stuff to compare and etc. So I am going to town to sell stuff

[stone granite]

There's no reason to sell anything. Setup an item filter so you don't see anything useless to you and don't bother picking things up you don't need. It's faster to just leave them on the ground, their gold value is very small

[tidal compass]

hmm ok then. Ty o/

[mossy bear]

Am I overthinking how good this staff might be for my autobomber? Leveling and just switched once I was able to and this dropped, upgraded the void damage. Seems real good?

[warm birch]

Seems decent.

[stone granite]

It's okay. It's far from ideal. You'll find better.

[still patio]

Which pets can be combined with Scorpion from Maternal Insincts node?

[stone granite]

What do you mean? That node creates minions, you don't combine anything

[still patio]

I mean which pets would look good together with Scorpion through the node of the Maternal Instinct. Or is this node meant for a solo Scorpion?

Raptor, Bear, Wolves or solo Scorpion i mean

[stone granite]

It doesn't make any difference which you choose really

[still patio]

Ok

So how many be good build with solo Scorpion from Maternal Instincts?

[stone granite]

I think you have a 2 companion limit so if you are going beastmaster I'd think you'd never run scorpion solo

[mossy bear]

Yeah it just seemed like a super good starter weapon when I was nearing 50 and switching to the build. Seemed like a lot of damage compared to what items I was finding

[stone granite]

Yeah it just has one good affix though right? I mean a good weapon would have all 4 good affixes and probably exalted, which you'll find soon enough

Crafting is great

[mossy bear]

Yeah it does have laughable affixes, not as good as the boots I crafted which looks amazing to me, could be wrong. 30 armor, 15ms, 22 cold res / 12ms, 5 vit / 11 ele res, 28 hp

[still patio]

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

This build is shit or not?

[modest oyster]

A few things, 1st u cant get t7sealed.
2nd u almost Always want the berserker node in primalist, and porcine constitution on Beast master, aswell as Shark form for Pets.
3rd try ti stay away from 7% or less DMG per point node

Said that i despise and know nothint about Minion builds, but those are general primalist stuff

[brittle atlas]

Yeah, can't get T7 sealed, let alone multiple T7s on an item realistically

otherwise, the suffix choices are pretty bad

passive-wise, you've missed a lot of great ones

like Hunter's Restoration and Berserker in primalist. Ursine Strength and Porcine Constitution in beast master, chitinous plating in druid

[cold plaza]

yeah idk about this build. Might take some effort to farm that gear.

[still patio]

Thanks for feedback

[unique pulsar]

hi - is masochist not in game anymore? i cant see it on create char

i wanted a more challenging run

[stone granite]

It's possible you lost it by deleting a character maybe? Or if you haven't played in a while you might need to finish the store on a new character

[unique pulsar]

oh, does it unlock after you finish the story? that might be why i dont have it

[stone granite]

Yeah you can't just start in challenges, you don't know if it is challenging yet

[unique pulsar]

i think i'm ~85% complete and no deaths so i'm looking forward to it

[stone granite]

The story is about 15% of the challenge

The difficulty technically scales infinitely in endgame

[unique pulsar]

cool

[pastel token]

Anyone been playing LE on Steam Deck? Just got into this game and was thinking of getting a steam deck!

[sharp quartz]

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

[pastel token]

Thank you 🙏

[proven jewel]

is there a way to check when im done leveling if i missed a side quest that gives points? ive noticed that some of them seem to

[delicate dust]

If you open the map, it will state quest rewards in the bottom left. There is more quests that grant passive and idol slot rewards than you can earn in total. It states how many you've earned out of how many you can earn.

[proven jewel]

oh thats cool thanks

[woven fulcrum]

Okay, what am I doing wrong here:
Correct me if I'm wrong. Rules work top down. Once it hits a rule that an item adheres to it stops checking any below it.
Therefore this item should hit that 3rd level (the orange one) color it orange and show it to me, correct?
It isn't, it's hiding it because in the very bottom one I have chests is in the baseline 'hide' one.
But the second one, with the Red shows my sentinel gear just fine.

[woven fulcrum]

After futzing around for the last 40 minutes I figured it out.
Tier Sum is only taking into account the selected affixes.
I thought it was total for the entire item.
SOLVED.

[junior wadi]

the bats with a cone breath attack in Lightless Arbor deal poison damage correct? Kinda looks like it could be necrotic too

[brittle atlas]

probably poison

pretty sure most of lightless arbor is phys and poison?

I'm putting this here because in the past in games

[junior wadi]

yea I figure as well. just wasnt sure

[junior wadi]

known fact, good luck!

[dapper pendant]

For anyone familiar with the build planner thing that most people use. How does it work? Like, can I just name it and it auto-creates a loot filter for me based off the gear used in the final version of the guide?

[stone granite]

You don't want to do that

It's much better for you to make your own filter

[dapper pendant]

I look at the item filter in the game and my brain blows up. I'm too used to super simplified ones from PoE's filterblade.

[stone granite]

This filter is not only more powerful than PoE's but also easier

I have a youtube video showing the basics

It has helped a lot of people understand how it works and it shows how to make a filter quickly for any new character you make

If you use an auto-generated one you won't understand how it works and ask a lot of questions of why it shows things you don't want or hides things you do want, because they don't generate well

[dapper pendant]

I'm sitting here staring at Tenkiei's video on them... Super jealous that this video has a lightning mage build because I was starting to level that the last time I played ages ago.

[copper fable]

If you do use the premade one you will want to lower the sums on the higher tiers of rules its way too strict

[dapper pendant]

Well, I think I understand what I've done. I hope that it works. Now to try it out.

[valid mango]

Hiyo, is it possible to target farm specific shards? i have a million garbage ones but all I want are minion damage ones

[balmy current]

Not really. There are some blessings that will give you more of a particular type of shard (such as chest shards), but nothing more than that.

[valid mango]

Hmms thank you

Nope.

though we also do not currently, nor have any set plans to support steam deck.

[obtuse shuttle]

thats a shame, ok thank you

[midnight basin]

im trying to target farm a sceptre in the stolen lance atm but not seeing any reroll nodes or unique/set sceptre nodes is there anything I can do to fix that?

[native sail]

Are you in empowered? They tend to be far more common there

[midnight basin]

no i dont know how to empower stuff

[dry narwhal]

gotta complete the 3 level 90 timelines then go to the middle of them, it'll play a cutscene, and then all timelines can be "empowered" to be level 100 content

it allows you to stack corruption easier (can be done in non-empowered but not worth it)

it's a bit grindy but it's worth it

[midnight basin]

ah i see

guess i'll just have to keep leveling then, I just hit 80 so I got some ways to go but I'll get there

[dry narwhal]

yeah, enjoy the grind

what scepter are you trying to get?

[sharp quartz]

Mikes reply is a little more positive.... but still only a maybe.... #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs message

shoosh grumpy... go have some Tea...

[obtuse shuttle]

Thanks a bunch for the info.

[woven fulcrum]

I may be misreading your comment
but your character does NOT have to be level 100 to get empowered monolith.
In fact, I usually get to empowered monos between lvl 78-80.
you get to empowered by pushing up to the top of the mono map and doing the last three

[midnight basin]

I'm not sure I'm strong enough to push that high, need to fix my items a little I'm only around 1700hp maxed resists. I'm playing hammer/smite and there's been a few things that one or two shot me as well as some really egregious degens

[stone granite]

Anything that can one shot is going to be very telegraphed and easily avoidable. Your HP is fine.

[midnight basin]

Probably true, I'm still relatively new to the game though so I have much time learn I'll get to the end game eventually no need to turborush

[brittle atlas]

make sure you're capping your endurance % too

[stone granite]

That's not necessary

[brittle atlas]

it's a great defensive layer that is extremely easy to get

probably the easiest ehp boost you can get

[midnight basin]

I'm trying to find a way to do that now as well I have room on my belt so ill probably craft it there.

[brittle atlas]

especially on sentinel, throw on some engrave gauntlets, put it on a ring suffix

and take the paladin passive

you want your belt suffixes to be % health and hybrid health

[frosty mirage]

6 runs deep into empowered reign of fire with no endurance blessing 😭

[brittle atlas]

I know that feeling

[frosty mirage]

On the ol’ Sorc

[brittle atlas]

even worse is when you can't get a 25 or 26% one

[stone granite]

Just don't get hit

[frosty mirage]

Yup, luckily that fight is so mechanical and easy to do with the three bosses it’s pretty easy to cheese on ranged builds

[stone granite]

Sorc will be my first build when MP comes, it was safest build I've made

[brittle atlas]

I loved doing that boss on my VK and static orb sorc

abyssal echoes is so good for just deleting all of them

and static orb orbit was great for cleaving them down too

[frosty mirage]

Meteor artillery them down to low health to avoid the necro death AoE and try to nuke 2/3 at once and the other shortly after

[brittle atlas]

poison rogue kills them super fast, but has poor aoe so it needs to kill each in sequence unless they happen to stack up

[wheat owl]

what level do skills max out, i know 20 but like how many +2 skills can you craft onto gear to raise, just 2 max or can you have like four pieces all boosting that 1 skill

[balmy current]

up to +4 from class-specific t7 prefixes, then it depends how many +skills you can stack from uniques, I think lvl 27 is the highest it goes but that's only for one or two specific skills

[brittle atlas]

I think zombies can get 29 and swarmblade maybe to 30?

[woven fulcrum]

Question for the masses. For the puncture node Debilitation.
What exactly counts as a 'negative ailment.'
I've got 7 different negative affects on the enemy
but I don't know if they all count. Like does armor shred count as a 'negative ailment?'

[balmy current]

Definitely damaging ailments, probably debuffs (resist/armour shreds, crit vulnerability, chill, slow, etc) as well.

[woven fulcrum]

I just found on tunks lab https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/ailments
you can actually sort for only 'negative' ones.
I'm going to go with these for now.

[orchid berry]

monsters penetrate all resistances 1% per monster level? if so, what's the point of items that shift damage type (take 20% of void damage as physical for example) ?

[midnight timber]

armor resists physical at full strength... its less effective against other damage types

[orchid berry]

thanks, i googled it and now see that "Armour is 70% as effective against non-physical damage."

[balmy current]

Those affixes were more of a thing back before the devs changed to resists (from the protection system)

[valid mango]

dumb question probably but can you reroll roll ranges on uniques? Like a divine orb in path of exile

[sharp quartz]

Nope... other than making legendaries you cannot craft on uniques...

[valid mango]

thank you

[scarlet palm]

Do skill levels increase the baseline damage of the skill in addition to skillpoints or just grant more skillpoints? Trying to decide between a weapon that adds a ton of skill levels and one that adds quite a bit flat fire damage.

[sick yacht]

Only if the affix states it, like +1 Devouring Orb +20% void damage (just a random example out of thin air) the power from skill levels generally only helps if there are powerful nodes you can't reach with baseline points to to enable otherwise impossible interactions

[scarlet palm]

In that case the skilllevel staff is plain bait for my build (+3 to basically all my skills looked tempting). Thanks.

[balmy current]

No, skills don't get more power purely by being a higher level. A lvl 20 skill (with no points allocated) would do as much damage as a lvl 0 skill.

[balmy current]

Being able to put an additional 3 points in most of your skills is a fairly big thing.

[scarlet palm]

It is, but it's not worth loosing my catalyst which has damage stats, adds 120% ward retention and 50 ward a second. Also loosing 45 flat damage and 160% Ignite chance from my MH Sword is arguably also bad. For reference I'm playing Flame reave with high Ignite chance and Ignite detonation on enchant weapon. And I actually have everything that is a big powerup allocated with the lvl 22 Flame reave.

[acoustic thicket]

Hey guys, do we know if the game will be playable on Steam Deck?

[stone granite]

Playable? Maybe. Supported? Not currently.

[sharp quartz]

not supported, but look in general - #💬┃general message

[minor kindle]

Has the devs said or someone has summed up the conversion rule between the number/tiers of item affixes and item level?

[stone granite]

Are you asking if we know how tiers of affixes affect level requirements?

[balmy current]

Dammit & Tunk know what it is, certainly.

[celest halo]

Question: do skill procs like this one use the base version of the skill, or do they take into account the perks you have in it?

[balmy current]

As long as it's you, they use your specialised version. If it's a minion they use their own version.

[celest halo]

That's... enticing. Thanks~

[stone granite]

Unless otherwise stated

[balmy current]

Yeah, can't think of any off the top of my head that don't though.

[stone granite]

Meteor and Meteor are 2 different things which is why it comes up in these questions

[balmy current]

Yup, that's poor naming on the dev's side.

[stone granite]

Also there's some void knight confusion with one of the skills

[balmy current]

all they'd have to do is name it differently in the Black Hole tree

[celest halo]

Beginner question: what are the stipulations on respeccing passives? I don't think I have the options to do that yet.

I can respec specialisations, and I think what that does is reset the skill xp thingamabob

[stone granite]

You can respec passives at the NPC with a brain above their head

you find this NPC pretty early on

in the council chambers

[celest halo]

Thank you!~

[balmy current]

You can & it does (well, it de-levels the skill)

[brave ibex]

This is adaptive right?

[sick yacht]

Pretty sure

[minor kindle]

I summed it up, although it does not look very concise, but it is indeed OK to verify🤨

[acoustic thicket]

nice, I'm gonna yoink it. It will be very useful for me

[wheat lark]

Hey! I just started the game and wanted to know if you think it's a good idea to follow a build on the first time, or just do whatever by myself?

I play quite a bit of ARPGs like Path of Exile but also don't mind following a build guide if that makes it safer that I see the whole span of the game in this first go

[brittle atlas]

You can do either, or start on your own and transition to a guide later

It’s cheap and easy to respec, so experimenting isn’t hard

[wheat lark]

I saw you lose all the xp/points into a skill if you decide to change later on - is it too hard to recover those? My fear is respeccing later into the game and becoming pretty weak?

[brittle atlas]

The biggest thing Id consider a guide for is loot/good affixes and where to put them just to potentially save on any crafting materials you find early on when they’re still a limited resource

[wheat lark]

Also can you respec your sub-class? Like a primalist that goes from summoning creatures to shaman ?

[brittle atlas]

You have a minimum skill level that goes up as you level

And later on respeccing a skill takes like 2-3 minutes to relevel

Most of time I doubt you’d feel so incredibly weak from respeccing something

[wheat lark]

that sounds awesome 🙂

[brittle atlas]

the only thing you can’t change is subclass

That choice is locked in once you make it, so if you pick Shaman you can’t later change to Beast Master, for example

If you’re coming from PoE, something to know is that resists are significantly less impactful in LE- it’s great to cap them out, but the increase in damage taken is much lower in LE if you don’t

So you don’t need to go super hard on affixes trying to cap resists to the detriment of other defensive stats

[wheat lark]

ah that's very good to know!

thanks so much for all the help @brittle atlas

[balmy current]

Yup, otherwise it'd say "increased spell damage" (or "more") instead of "additional".

[wheat lark]

Are there any addons that I should know when I play Last Epoch? Any community build tools or something like that? I know in Path of Exile thereäs Awakened Poe Trade and so many

unrelated: do you know any good video/tutorial that explains crafting and what I should keep in mind while levelling? for ex should I sell my unused gear to npcs or dismantle it?

[minor kindle]

https://www.lastepochtools.com/

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/

[wheat lark]

thank you!

[knotty mesa]

Hey! Is there aproximately date for multiplayer release?

[stone granite]

No

[sharp quartz]

Nope... but its in testing with Community Testers right now....

[knotty mesa]

Thanks a lot! Nice to know.

[wheat owl]

game ran fine (bout 4 days) until i got to monoliths, now i get bsod either every map or every other, any ideas?

[midnight timber]

verify files with steam

[woven fulcrum]

So I just noticed on my level 100 character the yellow xp bar at the bottom of the skills is still very gradually keeping up. Is there like some sort of secret 101? 😄 😛

[brittle atlas]

nope, when it fills up it just empties again

[woven fulcrum]

well that's a let-down. 🤣

[waxen sundial]

is this only applied to spells that are somehow cast while using warpath?

[brittle atlas]

Yes, any spells you cast while channeling warpath

[pearl basin]

Hey friends, is there any general timeframe on multiplayer?

[stone granite]

You ask that multiple times a day

The answer will never change

#news

[pearl basin]

that is because I wonder multiple times a day! lol

[abstract crystal]

When it comes out it'll just be in the news channel

since it will be a major patch

[pearl basin]

you pooped me! aw man....

didn't have to doo doo that...

[sharp quartz]

If the verify game files doesnt work then open a thread on the forum in bug/technical explaining what is happening and post your player.log, le_graphicsmanager.ini and dxdiag report (if windows obviously)...

[eager sandal]

if you give a fire melee attack flat void damage is it then also considered as a void melee attack?

[sick yacht]

Only the amount of void that was added. E. G. 100 fire damage attack +5 void damage does 105 damage total, but only 5 damage to fire immune

[brittle atlas]

it won't get the void tag for the sake of other effects, those tags are determined by the base effects and damage of the skill.

[celest halo]

does this not do anything if you don't have abyssal tempest unlocked?...

no, it eats my mana

my bad

I guess 5 seconds take longer than it feels

[balmy current]

That's what I try to tell my wife...

[silk slate]

howdy folks, I'm trying to farm ending the storm for a specific pair of gloves (Salt the Wound) and am wondering if there's a meaningful benefit to doing so on empowered aside from just generally getting more & better loot

[midnight timber]

more item rarity helps (from corruption). Some things only drop in empowered, but don't remember on those specifically

[brittle atlas]

unique/set glove nodes are significantly more common in empowered

[silk slate]

word, thanks folks!

[silk slate]

ayyy only took a total of like 10 echoes to get em \o/

[midnight timber]

not bad at all... now the hunt for a copy with 4LP 😉

[silk slate]

yeah that'll come later lmao, just wanted to get one cause I've gotten some decent poison/crit multi type gear that I wanna put to use

[midnight timber]

😄

[hoary siren]

Does increased throwing attack damage also increase the damage of the ailments caused by the attack?

[cold plaza]

Nope.

[celest halo]

Question: does this actually do anything against bosses, or is it just flavour text?

It's really cool flavour text, to be fair.

[delicate dust]

It's saying that it will not remove bosses from the field for 4 seconds as it does other enemies, but all effects of having been sent forward in time are still applied (or that may depend on having sent an enemy forward in time). This is typically more relevant for the Anomaly skill which can send enemies forward in time on command and has a related skill tree.

[celest halo]

ohh

thank you, I haven't looked at anomaly's skill tree

What refreshes vendor inventory? I desire more runes of shattering and gorge myself on affix shards.

[balmy current]

time or exiting the game

[celest halo]

oh. thank you~

[rapid oak]

(Potential) new player question:

Does the future online version bring ANY extra benefits to the player, except for the fact that you can play with your friends?

I am thinking about online player-to-player trading/marketplace, or using your character on specific future content that you can't do with your offline character?

I am asking as i have owned the game for 2 years now, but always waited for the live version 🙂

[balmy current]

They've always said that they don't want to do MP-only content, so probably not.

[rapid oak]

Guess that means no PvP ever as well? 🙂
But p2p trading "could" require online connection...

[sharp quartz]

The only thing we are sure of is what llama already mentioned - no MP only content.... As for features, trading is expected but how this will actually happen is unknown right now (LONG discussions on this on the forum with replies from Devs if you are interested).... Pvp... who knows, they have never to my knowledge said they definitely are not going to consider it. maybe they have it on their super secret roadmap and are going to release a PvP type arena feature at some unknown future date... Key is that you cannot assume anything either way till the devs confirm it...

[brittle atlas]

PvP was mentioned at length in the kickstarter campaign

[rapid oak]

Yeah. I guess i will just wait for online version, to make sure i dont make a mistake by starting now and then have to restart - Cause i hate that 😄

[brittle atlas]

with some spitballing for potential pvp systems

[abstract crystal]

I'm treating now until MP as my own little self-imposed season

[waxen sundial]

why does the spear increase my hammer throw damage more than the axe? the DoT?

[brittle atlas]

none of the stats on the axe impact hammer throw at all

the spear has bleed and increased dot

[waxen sundial]

hammer throw is funny for that reason. but also implied damage calculation is also funny.

[vague bloom]

I remember in poe a standard crit build would go for 70% crit chance+ usually

what would yall say is somewhat standard crit chance in last epoch

just looking at nodes, I can get up to 15% crit chance on a lichs reap (not including weapon increases), and I am unsure if this is good enough for a crit build

[brittle atlas]

65+ generally

harvest has access to an insane amount of base crit, though

should be no issue to get capped 100% crit chance on Harvest

for Reap though...it's not really a main damage skill tbh

You'd need to use a base crit crafted weapon for sure to do crit Reap with any consistency

and with one of those you could get up to 65-70 with pretty minimal increased crit investment outside of lich passives + reaper form

[vague bloom]

thanks

[mortal crow]

you can go above 100% btw

no idea if it really does anything tho

[sharp quartz]

Yip you can, but its wasted affixes & skill/passive nodes... 100% chance to crit is guaranteed chance to crit... anything over that is useless..... Should put the extra affix slots into Crit Multiplier instead....

[balmy current]

It doesn't do anything unless you're running a Disintegrate Ignivar's Head build.

[strong heart]

Hey guys, has anyone tested to run the game with Vulkan or DX12? What do you think of the performance?

[sharp quartz]

Considering the commitment the devs have made in the last dev blog post regaring performance improvements coming in the next patches, i would probably consider any performance testing right now as a moot point... I'd recommend holding off till after the next batch of patches in Sept (ish) to draw any conclusions on performance.... Right now its as we all know... ok to poor generally speaking and heaviliy dependant on what the game is doing at any given moment.

[sharp quartz]

I always forget about that chestnut...

[narrow grove]

i'm not crazy right, do other older players remember how hyperaggresive and smooth abom was before the primalist pet ai "fix"?

[waxen sundial]

glyph of despair for 5 affix items?

[sharp quartz]

yip... if you are really lucky it can even "seal" T4/5s.. but T1/2 are almost assured.. T3 sometimes...

[wide sentinel]

game just randomly crushes when i enter echoes, is there any kind of crash report files that i can send to devs or smth

[torn cliff]

I just finished Blood, Frost, and Death. Its my last timeline that I haven't finished since I went back and finished it after the level 90 timelines. I have no timelines left to unlock but I still have the quest telling me to finish this timeline. Did I miss something?

[torn cliff]

Okay I went back and killed Formosus again and my quest is gone

[slate nymph]

Hello guys, do we know if enemys have a base resistence for specific or even all damage types?

[minor kindle]

Normally, no

0 resis and 0 armor

there are some special enemies that have basic resistances, which are usually written below the health bar.

[slate nymph]

thanks for the info ❤️

[deft moth]

Does Eterra`s blessing minion damage increase actually works? If yes, then how damage calculated, because double increase is definately not what happening.
Also whats going with pet, it looks that they care about my stats only at summon, and do not change later. Seems that I even can summon them with one gear, and fight with another... Also how i can resummon/release pets except of logging off... For stats update or just ot change comp 1 wolf 2 crows for 3 crows, which i cant do if wolf already summoned.

[azure lion]

1. I'm not sure how it works but the damage increase could be additive, like 100% more damage is double damage when you have 0% damage increase total, but if you already have a lot, then it's less noticeable. But don't take my word on it I don't use that skill much.
2. Yeah it's called snapshotting. It's how it works right now but the devs plan to revisit it in the future.
3. You can unsummon by removing the skill from your skill bar.

[celest halo]

Is there such a thing as twink gear in this game?

[celest halo]

'Increased' is +X% of base damage, or +X percentage points, 'more' is +X% of damage. A '30% more' modifier will always increase the end result by 30%, a '30% increased' modifier will not. The vocabulary here appears to be taken straight from Path of Exile, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
Though personally I would've preferred 'increased' modifiers to be listed as '+X%p', since percentage points are a useful piece of terminology that games very rarely use.

[tight olive]

Will elemental damage increase Lightning Blast damage? Or just Spell/Lightning tags?

How is my amulet better than this?
It gives me more cast speed, elemental damage. Yet i'm losing damage on the tooltip when I equip it. For Lightning Blast

Does the damage overtime work with Lightning Blast!

[sharp quartz]

There are logs that usually have some debug message that can explain what is happening... Crashes when starting echos or using a teleport to a new map are usually either a messed up install or performance related. Verifying game files in Steam will help for the install and lowering your in-game settings will help for the known performance issues... if nothing works then post to the technical support section of the forum and include your player.log, le_graphicsmanager.ini and the output of a dxdiag report.. See https://support.lastepoch.com/hc/en-us/sections/1260801697209-Useful-Files

[sharp quartz]

Not sure... Tooltip damage can be very situational and the devs have confirmed that certain parts of the dps calculations are not always included correctly (revamping tooltips/character sheet has been confirmed a while ago but Multiplayer demand is taking priority)... Someone like @balmy current might be better to reply but off the top of my head I'd say that the ignite chance (which is DoT) is skewing the figure - remember you can still apply the DoT with lightning blast so it will increase damage independantly and may be whati you are seeing in the tool tip. Just guessing here... One thing thats for sure, at level 4 items, its unlikely you will be able to see much difference in damage - the rng in damage calcs can also be involved.

[sharp quartz]

Elemental damage increases all cold, fire, lightning tagged skills. So yes, it increases Lightning damage.

[brittle atlas]

if you're low level, the ignite is going to show as a big increase because ignite base damage is static

so the ignite, even at a low percentage chance, is likely adding a good amount of effective flat damage to your skill

[tight olive]

Alright thanks a bunch. I was a bit confused at first, but now it's all clear. I'm working on understanding the affixes so I don't hide something that's important

[sharp quartz]

At level 4 items, I wouldnt filter much at all.... almost everything dropping at low levels has the potential to be an upgrade in some way or another....

[tight olive]

I mostly disabling any unrelated weapons and white tier items at this level

But i'm also highlighting items with specific affixes that increases damage

[waxen sundial]

can you seal exalts?

[sharp quartz]

Nope... you cant craft on T6/7 affixes so it would be impossible... You can obviously seal other slots on an exalted item tho... just not the exalted ones.

[celest halo]

Question: are all affixes global?

If I have a chance to poison affix on a weapon, will it apply to everything that can inflict poison, or only attacks with that weapon?

Likewise for %increased damage of a given type.

Both seem to work on spells, which is... interesting.

[brittle atlas]

yes

if you have chance to poison, all hits you do can poison

% increased damage of a specific type will apply to all damage of that type

[celest halo]

That's so good.

Coming from PoE, where you had to memorise which weapon mods are local and which aren't :P

[static glacier]

All weapons are stat sticks .. everything is gloabal ...

[abstract crystal]

So when an item in the database says "Required Level: 82", that's just to equip, not for it to drop?

Just wanna make sure before I try to farm it

[balmy current]

Not quite, % increased damage is additive with all other sources of % increased damage. Sources of % more damage are applied separately. Both are applied to the flat damage (base + (flat added * added damage effectiveness)), the order is irrelevant.

[celest halo]

Well, yes, of course.

wait

I'm replying to the reply to the other thing than I thought

[brittle atlas]

required level 82 is the level to equip and the zone level to drop

[celest halo]

Ok, I don't really see how that contradicts what I said.

[balmy current]

a) Both % increased & % more are applied to flat damage. b) Base damage isn't the only source of flat damage. c) All relevant % increased is added together then applied, which is the big difference between more & increased.

[celest halo]

Oh, alright. I didn't take +flat damage into account, thank you for pointing that out.

[topaz relic]

So when you reset a timeline do the rewards from the echos stay the same or does it basically just randomise a new layout?

[brittle atlas]

when you kill a shade of orobyss it resets the entire web and rerolls the layout

[topaz relic]

cheers

ffs lmao all I want are smite idols but RNG isnt being nice

[tight olive]

if I switch lightning blast to a cold spell with rune of winter, will it still scale with lightning damage?

[brittle atlas]

no

[tight olive]

Oh it completely switches it, it's not conversion

[brittle atlas]

conversion in LE works that way, it's not like PoE

[balmy grotto]

Hello! I figure ya'll will be biased, but I'll ask anyway. Is LE worth buying? I avoid Early Access games, but man the Diablo/GrimDawn/PoE itch is getting to me, and they are all dated as heck by now.

[brittle atlas]

if LB is converted, it's no longer lightning and doesn't scale with lightning anymore

[tight olive]

Alright thanks

[brittle atlas]

It's definitely an early access game- there are missing features and content. But even despite that I know multiple people with thousands of hours played in it.

I personally prefer LE to Grim Dawn in most aspects

[balmy grotto]

What all is missing currently? Idc about multiplayer 😄

[brittle atlas]

multiplayer, three mastery classes, some skills/their trees, some campaign acts, tons of uniques still to come

there are still uniques that need 3D art

more expansions to endgame systems potentially

[balmy grotto]

Hmm, might wait until at least the classes are finished. Still though, this is by far my most anticipated game currently.

[brittle atlas]

the classes as far as I know are planned for after multiplayer but obviously before release

so it could be a bit

[topaz relic]

Honestly in my opinion its worth the grab now 1000%, even though there are a few classes missing you've got god knows how many builds to run with the classes available rn

I've wondered though, when it goes 'multiplayer' are we talking GD casual multiplayer or are we talking PoE multiplayer trade seasons

[balmy grotto]

I'd mostly be interested in a necro/liche type build anyway. My only concern is playing now and getting used to it and learning the game, and then everything being drastically different by the time it's fully released.

[brittle atlas]

I've played the game for a long time, and honestly, the core hasn't change that much

[topaz relic]

I'm not the most educated in the topic but by the looks of it it doesnt seem like that much is gonna change from now on

Core gameplay wise ofc

[brittle atlas]

yeah, for the most part if you play and learn now, the fundamentals won't change

[topaz relic]

I've played it on and off for a pretty long time and everytime I come back it feels practically the same lmao

[balmy grotto]

I might go for it then. I tried GD again, but it's just so damn hard to look at anymore. The UI gives me a headache

[topaz relic]

Ill have the few 'oh hey this looks different' but it performs the exact same

[brittle atlas]

obviously the meta/balance for things might change, but the core ideas have remained more or less the same for the past 4+ years

[topaz relic]

I never liked GD... something just never clicked with me for the game

[brittle atlas]

GD is a game I've always wanted to get into more, but yeah, never clicked with it

[balmy grotto]

You spend most of GD holding the left mouse button lol

[brittle atlas]

yeah, been doing a playthrough again with some friends recently

[topaz relic]

Nothing ever really felt right with it idk the classes sounded cool but never performed the way I wanted them too and the TTK is sometimes a drag

[brittle atlas]

and for me there's a bit of odd input delay on stuff in GD that throws me off

[topaz relic]

I'm too young though idk I more enjoy the constant ooga booga dopamine rush from something like PoE with explosions and a much faster paced feel

[brittle atlas]

yeah, I personally really like the faster paced stuff, but LE strikes a good balance, I think

[topaz relic]

I agree there definitely

Do you know what LE multiplayer is gonna be like Arborus?

[brittle atlas]

in what aspects?

I know basically whatever everyone else knows via news posts and devblogs

[topaz relic]

Is it casual multiplayer like GD or seasonal trade like PoE or seasonal rank 1 leaderboard pushing kinda thing like D3

[brittle atlas]

closer to PoE as I understand

[topaz relic]

I'm definitely not too lazy to read the news

Ahh alright

It'd have to be item to item trading though I guess if there was to be any trading

theres not really a form of currency

[celest halo]

Are void rifts from devouring orb affected by volatile reversal perks and vice versa?

[cold plaza]

no

[abstract crystal]

Glyphs, Runes, and Shards I guess could be currency for trading

[waxen sundial]

Funny how the forge master seems to be at first glance fire based, but now after picking the class I’m learning (unfortunately) it seems to be pretty heavily minion based for the most part. Unless I’m missing something?

[topaz relic]

Whats the best way to farm idols? I don't wanna be like level 90 by the time I get my third smite on hit idol lmaoo

Echo rewards dont drop ass

[waxen sundial]

probably some type of blessing for it

other than that just luck prolly, and like you said echo rewards

[topaz relic]

maaaan

I got 2 in the campaign so I was just like hey they arent that bad to get

and now im 40 levels from that and I havent seen another one

[abstract crystal]

Yeah there's like

I'm in the same boat, trying to get the Wraiths spawn as flame wraith % idols but haven't found one in a long time

[topaz relic]

yh I saw taht but like

theyre adorned idols

so even the blessing is rarer

thing is autobomber feels so janky when youve only got 13% to cast smite compared to the fact you could have 30+...

[abstract crystal]

There's a version of that blessing for adorned too

In Fall of the Outcasts, I'd grab that and just look for idol nodes I suppose

[topaz relic]

how do you reset blessings? just reset the timeline and rerun boss?

[abstract crystal]

Yeah, kill the boss again and you'll get new choices

Well, they could be the same as you've seen with different values, but it'll chuck you 3 options

[topaz relic]

Shii

might have to do that

[waxen sundial]

wowza didnt know that was a thing

[topaz relic]

which timeline is that from?

[waxen sundial]

Fall of Outcasts

[topaz relic]

alright bet

need the unique from him anyway... how does LP actually work?

like when can stuff drop with 2/3 LP

[abstract crystal]

Oooh

So in the one dungeon

[topaz relic]

I know the crafting

I just dont know how the LP drops on stuff

Never really looked into it

[abstract crystal]

Oh I actually have no clue

Most I've seen yet is 2

[waxen sundial]

i think its just random

[abstract crystal]

I think 4LP is in the camp of "don't expect this" lol

[waxen sundial]

and it depends on the rarity of the unique as well

[topaz relic]

Ahhh

So its a confusing one

[waxen sundial]

im assuming LP starts floating around after you start finding exalts

and then the more % loot find you have the better for something crazier to drop

but if you want a more specific answer id ask in #👨┃ask-the-devs-not-support-no-bugs

[topaz relic]

Hmmm I might have a search

the whole LP crafting system isnt too bad though tbh I dont mind it

Ive never really target farmed uniques to do it but I might try it this time round

[waxen sundial]

also idk if theres a way to like find more shrines, but idol shrines are a thing i believe

[topaz relic]

Yeah ive seen a few

they still drop f all though hahhaah

[waxen sundial]

this what your looking for? lol

[topaz relic]

I just went through unbearable pain looking at that

[waxen sundial]

just so happened to drop for me lol

[topaz relic]

We're now on bad terms

9% too

like

[waxen sundial]

if it makes you feel better im not even gonna use it rn lol

[topaz relic]

thats not the point

I

grr

[waxen sundial]

i dont have enough idol slots to effectively use it without getting rid of my other ones im using cause im only like lvl 30 lol

[topaz relic]

[waxen sundial]

itll go in my stash til i can either find more or get more slots

[topaz relic]

what you running on sentinel?

[waxen sundial]

dont know yet

currently mix of war path and hammers on forgeguard

idk the exact path i wanna take with it yet

[topaz relic]

mmmmm spinspin

I have no idea about other builds

[waxen sundial]

orbit hammers + spin = uber hurricane

[topaz relic]

hahahaha

[abstract crystal]

Wait the idol you need only rolls around 10%

that's rough lol

[waxen sundial]

if you decided to not run orbit or even spiral you can get a RIDICULOUS amount of hammers

[waxen sundial]

that 9% is max too

well for that tier anyway, unless idols only have 1 tier

[topaz relic]

bro if that rolled anymore it would probably crash the game

100% chance would easily fry peoples GPUs

[waxen sundial]

idk what the max tier is, but i know you can fit 4 adorns max

[topaz relic]

yah

nah max is 9%

so 36% chance capped

[waxen sundial]

do idols only have 1 tier of affixes

or only certain affixes have 1 tier?

[topaz relic]

Some can have multiple tears iirc

[brittle atlas]

Idols are single tier

But some idol affixes have massive ranges

[topaz relic]

I am not getting this blessing

its just simply not happening

itd be easier doing the 3 level 100 timelines and then resetting it at level 100 to farm it for the higher % one

[celest halo]

Is it worth buying runes of shattering from vendors?

[minor kindle]

yes

[celest halo]

lovely, thank you~

[azure lion]

Does a unique/set mage helm have a higher chance to drop while playing a mage?

[static glacier]

The base drop rate of mage specific gear is a lot higher

so the chance for uniques is also much higher

[azure lion]

ah I see, thanks

picked the increased helmet drop rate blessing for my necro just to increase my chances at getting one of these, I should've picked something else

[topaz relic]

Does cast speed do anything to smite when casted via throwing skills?

[viscid musk]

No, smite animation should not be affected by cast speed. So only global attack and throwing attack speed is interesting for you when you let it proc

[topaz relic]

Still havent got one

[dapper pendant]

Okay, I'm an idiot. If I'm trying to farm for Uniques in Mono's, am I better off just getting to Empowered Monos or should I keep grinding them out, gathering corruption, and resetting the webs?

[topaz relic]

How do you get the ability to reset timelines to make them level 100?

I've cleared like every single timeline and I still cant

[dapper pendant]

Honestly, I don't know how to Empower them either, probably gonna look at a guide to boost them to 100.

After all level 90 timelines are conquered, you can activate Empowered Mode by touching the crystal at their junction, opening up Legendary timelines. It's always possible to select between Normal and Legendary versions of the same timeline, each having its own Echo Web.

From the Wiki @topaz relic

[topaz relic]

Ahhh the fckin crystal yeahh I remember now, tysm

[deft moth]

Does flat spell damage increase (like adaptive spell damage +1), also transfers to crows with Fulminating Claw talent?

[woven fulcrum]

Optimization Questions:
When I start a game, I can play for about two echoes and then it starts to do this
normal/stutter thing. My character running forward looks normal for about 5 seconds
but then suddnely gets jittery and slows to a crawl and skips
then it goes back to normal for 5 seconds
so on.
Now here's the catch. I've noticed if I switch to another program, like browser, come here and read Discord, if I do it for a few minutes and then go back, LE is running smoothly.
And it stays pretty smooth UNTIL I open any boxes in the echo home like my stash or to sell stuff or looking at my filter.
I've read all of the stuff concernign LE's optimization (and it's needs)
No idea if this is on my end or just a "It's a beta thing, we're working on it."
Thought I'd see if anyone has thoughts.

[balmy current]

Only if it's minion spell damage. If a thing doesn't specify minions, it won't affect minions

[sharp quartz]

imho, there is very little point in grinding non-empowered monos.... If you are looking for Uniques, get to empowered and target the unique echo reward islands... If your build is up to it, you can increase corruption to around 200 - imho thats a good sweet spot for increased loot drop chance vs speed to farm... dont bother to go higher than 300 corruption for farming (unless you are looking for specific orobyss drops) - that just adds unneccessary time to the runs.

[sharp quartz]

Hmm... seems suspiciously like a performance issue... Sounds like your system is unable to maintain the performance over time with whatever settings you are using. Either its just the game (known) or a combination of the game and the available resources shared with whatever you are running at the same time... When you alt tab, you enable the background fps limit - which will prevent LE from taxing your system and allowing your system to recover when LE is not in foreground. Opening stash is a known performance issue - especially if you have lots of smaller items vs a few bigger items in a stash tab.. As a test, you might want to monitor your system usage (CPU/GPU/Memory/Temps) to see whats happening and consider toning down in-game settings as a test.... Might be worth opening a thread on the forum and posting the usual: player.log, le_graphicsmanager.ini, dxdiag report... perhaps there is something the log.

[woven fulcrum]

sounds good. I'll give it a go and see where we're at. Settings are pretty low now. I think i had things on min except one, don't remember which. I'll play around with them.

[static glacier]

on a laptop? worse performance over time sounds a lot like thermal throtteling and thats what most gaming laptops are best at 😄

[sharp quartz]

as Hybria suggested... dont forget about temps.... If its already on low in-game settings, then its even more important to monitor whats happening on your system over time...(obviously this all depends/relative to your setup - low quality at 4k res might still be struggling)... Also check your View Reliability History and see if anything is having issues on your system... it could very well be something else that is causing the issue... Sometimes even things like Windows Update trying to run every few minutes and failing can present as odd slowdowns... Even things like the Discord client has been known to cause FPS drops in Call of Duty... might be something like that happening.. all guessing really tho...

[celest halo]

Base VK echo effect:

Your melee attacks, throwing attacks and void spells have a 10% chance to be repeated by an echo 0.5s later (excludes movement abilities and Anomaly).
Echoing Strikes and Time Legion:
Your melee attacks, throwing attacks, and void spells have a higher chance to be echoed 1 second later
I find this rather confusing: are the bonuses from Echoing Strikes and Time Legion a separate chance from the base one? If so, does Avatar of Regret apply to both those rolls? Or is this just a typo and they're supposed to increase the base effect's chance to occur?

[sharp quartz]

Gut feeling is typo, but this might be the kind of question to confirm on the dev channel to be sure....

[celest halo]

Thank you, I'll try.

[static glacier]

i wrote some report about that ages ago ... one tooltip is wrong 😉

[celest halo]

but which 👁️ 👁️

[dull depot]

Hello, I have a general question about last epoch and who better to ask than the community :3
I am considering buying the last epoch since a lot of people already said that is it awesome (ziz, ziggyD, etc.)

But what is the main difference (or differences) between last epoch and poe or grim dawn?
I played lots of PoE and, for example, I don't like how limiting the end game is and how you must always strive to fill in the check list (have resistances maxed, have def layers, have certain amount of dps, have gear worth a couple of exalts etc.). So what about last epoch in this regard?

And Grim dawn is fun, but replaying it is difficult for me since maps are always the same and you can't mix and mash as much as in poe.

Just looking for some comments on what are the best features of this game, or you can even drop videos that point out the differences and strengths, so I can make a good decision \p/
Thank you everyone in advance :3

[sharp quartz]

Simple answer, just buy it. You will get your monies worth out of it well before you get bored.... its a great arpg right now even tho its in beta and not complete/doesnt have MP/not without balance issues/and specific problems etc. Its a great mash up of bits and pieces from your favourites & some new things all its own... For me personally, LE has an interesting story with a great concept (timelines - underutilised at the moment imho).. Classes have enough skills & depth to be interesting and fun to explore without going crazy deep... Campaign runs well (if somewhat easy for experienced players), End-game & dungeons offer a fair amout of replayability especially if you are into min-maxing and like trying out different builds... There are hard, sometimes frustrating bosses to test yourself... Difficulty in endgame is infinite (i.e. you can scale it till trash mobs one shot you). Gear /loot drop is ok.. some uniques are fantastic and worth chasing... Mostly the devs are open, communicate and its obvious this game has come a long way and still has more to come... Next dev cycle path is september ish and I expect interesting things to enjoy...

[abstract crystal]

One of my favorite things about Last Epoch is building your character. Pretty much all builds are viable and you can go in as a new player and make something work. The respeccing is very generous, so you can always fix your build. That's a big frustrating I have with Path of Exile, if I don't follow a build guide or spend many hours in Path of Building, I'll never get far.

Second thing I really enjoy is the crafting, there's a lot of flexibility with it, and it's a lot of fun.

All the things that I don't really like are all "early access" stuff. Performance of the game needs work, it's missing acts, masteries, and I think the endgame could use a little bit more.

Def worth $35 right now, imo.

[dull depot]

this sounds awesome :3

I am looking forward to buying and playing it then ^.^

[woven fulcrum]

not on a laptop but I'm on a slightly older computer so I'll monitor this.

[sonic kraken]

If I have two charges of flame ward and use one does it count as being "on cooldown"? Also if I convert volcanic orb to cold does it also convert the fire glyph to cold?

[pearl basin]

any word on multiplayer yet?

[waxen sundial]

i have yet to make a legendary, does it always take the exalted affixes, or is it a chance thing

[snow spruce]

Chance

[waxen sundial]

oof but fair

so i guess the only way to really guarantee it is to try and carefully scratch off every affix you dont want, or just roll a perfect 4 affix exalt... seems reasonable

[snow spruce]

You have to have 4 affixes on the item

[waxen sundial]

alright so a perfect 4 affix exalt, doable

[waxen sundial]

when did they do away with GB

nevermind still there but not a main defence anymore

[woven fulcrum]

#🤖┃ask-the-bot message

[woven fulcrum]

yeah, i think it's now primarily a rogue thing.
they changed it a good while back. maybe a year or so?

[sonic kraken]

Is this freeze rate passive or it only applies to arcane avalanche itself?

[waxen sundial]

i remember them changing it, i just had thought they scrapped it entirely cause it wasnt on the main screen

[woven fulcrum]

my mistake, thought you asked when they did away with it.

[acoustic thicket]

Hey peeps I was wondering does the game have social hubs of any kind right now?

[brittle atlas]

There is currently no multiplayer anything. There’s a chat and a leaderboard, and that’s it for the moment. Multiplayer stuff is still in closed testing.

[acoustic thicket]

aha. Thanks 🙂

[honest bough]

the multiplayer beta, did they mention a date for it?

from what i read it's coming in 0.9?

[native sail]

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

[tall shell]

Not sure if I’m asking in the right place but what are the minimum requirements for this game? My computer is junk but I want to play lol

[copper fable]

I cant tell you what the min specs are, but I have a nvidia 1050, 8g of ram, and an i-3 6300 quad core cpu and I have 0 issues running the game on the lowest settings. I actually dont experience performance problems

just be warned that performance in these games is incredibly hit or miss, Ive played this game and PoE both for years on this machine from 2016 and neither of them lag

but im okay with playing on 45~ fps some people want more which will probably require you to have a better pc

[knotty mesa]

[knotty mesa]

Thanks for fast answer. Nice to know.

[acoustic thicket]

are there any beginner blademaster build that has high survivability and is melee?

like high life leech doesnt die much etc

[acoustic thicket]

Okay So, i'm coming back to the for the first time in ages, and something i'm noticing is getting gear to get moving up in content seems to be a rather tedious slog at the moment (i'm not even in empowered monos rn) and am willing to check out builds since my builds don't feel great atm.

any recommendations for any class really.

[cold plaza]

Bladedancers actually have a ton of survivability, even though it doesn't look like it at first glance. Look for sources of Glancing Blows (like dual wielding swords), Dusk Shrouds, or Dusk Shrouds on Melee Hit. If you're like me and play HC, you might even consider using a shield.

[acoustic thicket]

lol bladedacner, i keep saying blademaster ahha, what does glancing blow do

in this game i have a feeling guies arent 100% necessary?

guides

can I just experiment

will i still hav a decent char

is there any way to quick gain skills exp?

[cold plaza]

No, guides are not necessary. I make them, too, but if you read the skills and read your mastery, you'll have a good time playing Last Epoch.
The only bonus XP you can get is from the Monolith System. Some of the echo nodes drop bonus XP Books, which help when respec'ing skills and experimenting.

[acoustic thicket]

oh oki

very good then

would be bad if this was like in poe where, you didnt use guides and end up with a really shit build that cant progress

i think ill go with the coolest looking skills i like

also what can I do to smurf new chars

ive got some lvl 50 chars i got bored with

but i do like creating mutliple chars

what can I do to power up my low level char next time

[minor kindle]

About the way to get the Fractured Crown, does the sealed affix count towards it?

"Using Rune of Ascendance on Gilded Crown that has Mana and Damage Dealt to Mana Before Health prefixes with 21+ total affix tiers"

[pastel garnet]

when is 0.9 expected to hit?

[wide sentinel]

i wouldnt expect it before winter with how everything was so far

[balmy current]

Definitely not before September (which was when 0.8.6 was going to hit)

[sour frigate]

Hum ok so no beta multiplayer before September? That a bad news

[static glacier]

id say thats a good news improving the chances this stuff actually works

[sharp quartz]

There is currently no fix for this... Its a bug reported quite some time ago now..

[still patio]

"This cannot exceed your maximum number of Baby Scorpions"

So i understand correctly? I cannot summon 6 baby scorpions?

[rancid cypress]

Hello, 🤠

Any plans for further character creation?

[sharp quartz]

Do you mean character customisation? I.e. what it looks like/gender etc? Or do you mean the missing classes?

[rancid cypress]

Yes sorry, character customisation :)

[sharp quartz]

Nothing new beyond what the devs have already said - they would like to do this, but they dont have the resources to implement this right now and definitely not before 1.0. Its simply too much work.

[rancid cypress]

Yea it takes time. :) Well, game is fun, but I can't wait to play with a personalized character

[sharp quartz]

question... how important is it to you, especially considering that when actually playing and zoomed out and wearing armour, you cannot actually see any character customisation?

[rancid cypress]

Very important! I believe everyone likes to create its own hero on its own image, also, with lots of Armor skins and an hide helmet option it's awesome.

I played Gw1 and it was like this and it had character costumisation and hide helmet :)

I mean, this is my opinion, I do love to creat my character and Armor personalisation.
It's makes the game more dynamic and it can give you a visual break if you change gear skin / " transmogification "

Probably don't feel the need for this. :) That's ok. It's just my opinion thoo :3

Don't take me wrong in anyway, but, I also don't play other games, like Lost Ark because of the gender lock.

I I'm that guy who loves spear and Glaives, and hate to play as a female character. I just hate the idea of going battle ready with a beach bikini. It just doesn't even fit on my mind xD

I don't ment to insult any gender here, it's just what I like :) and what I prefer to play :)

[sharp quartz]

Fair enough... I love character customisation in RPG but thats functional (i.e. a dwarf with +2 str) vs visual/cosmetic. But in any FPS or ARPG game , I honestly never cared what my character looks like - doesnt impact at all on my enjoyment of a game.

[balmy current]

Correct, the Sweet Release node just gives you a way to get back up to max Baby Scorps in one go rather than waiting for them to be resummoned every 10s.

[still patio]

Thanks

[thick urchin]

hey guys , can someone tell me where is the potion on keyboard ? i have nothing .

[small flume]

I know this might sound stupid... Compared to Grim Dawn, how does the game feel? Should I give it a go?

[sharp quartz]

Feel? Well, combat feel is being updated as per the current dev blog... but generally if you like GD you are likely to like LE... Its simpler in some aspects, but most definitely not boring... and imho, I personally find it has more replayability than GD... especially end-game (even though its not finished yet).

[small flume]

I never got to the proper endgame in GD, even though I've racked up like 3.7k hours there. 🙂

So much for trying out different characters and random wacky builds. 🙂

Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a try when I'm able to, I guess.

[plush granite]

Anyone running LE on Linux? I'm having unplayable fps loss and I'm not sure how to troubleshoot it.

[sharp quartz]

Quite a few people on Linux... but each has their own setup/distro/preferences so its hard to help on discord chat - some prefer the native version, others praise the proton version via steam. Drivers etc aside, performance is generally an issue right now esp. depending on where you are, what you are doing in-game... but if you are conservative with in-game settings (no matter the OS platform), then most configs/systems can play ok (within reason - e.g. not expecting an old 660 ti to handle 4k ultra). I would recommend you search the forums for hints at what Linux configs to try and to see if another linux user is having a problem that seems similar to yours and go from there.

[plush granite]

Yeah I'm getting like 5 fps in menus when it was working fine previously. I have tried all the obvious fixes, updating drivers etc. The Linux threads on the forums last time I checked were mostly saying that the devs weren't focused on linux performance before MP, which is fair.

I was hoping maybe someone using the same os as me would have some better luck.

[sharp quartz]

5fps in menus is very odd and most definitely not a normal kind of problem even for Linux users. There is most likely something else happening to cause that - especially if it was working fine previously.

[plush granite]

Yeah, it must have been some kind of OS update. It happened in the middle of an LE patch cycle so it wasn't like LE changed.

[sharp quartz]

I dont use Linux for playing games (I only use it for important things like servers 🤪 ) so I cannot offer any advice, but my suggestion would be to try and figure out what changed if at all possible, and work from there. Maybe its a config that was reset or a GPU driver update than needs to be rolled back. Oh, and because that FPS is SO low, double check if your system has not reverted to trying to run the game on an integrated GPU (if your CPU has one) instead of proper discreet GPU.

[plush granite]

That's a good idea, thank you. I'll do some more digging

[fathom palm]

i played a lot of Grim Dawn , finished the story and did many of the arena style fighting. last Epoch is way more fun to me than Grim Dawn for sure

[spare bramble]

Does LE still login through Steam account?

[brittle atlas]

the steam version can be linked to your LE account to auto-login to the linked LE account when launched through steam

[spare bramble]

Anyone else getting LE-13 authentication errors today?

[knotty mesa]

it's will be better to save time to add skins for characters

and armour maybe

[paper fox]

@spare bramble me

[knotty mesa]

Especially quite better than other games, which coming out and other ones, for example Diablo Immortal.. died Wolcen.. and so on.. Needed some interesting mode for end-game and multiplayer with low count of bugs.

[sharp quartz]

There seems to be some issues with the authentication right now, a few people are struggling to login, especially new accounts - I think the current sale might have generated a decent influx of new players...

Is the multiplayer beta public or closed?

[copper fable]

currently its closed, it may open in the future, sometime after September with no fixed date, 0.9 will drop with will be a public beta.

[waxen sundial]

what is all encompassed in "healing effectiveness"?

[copper fable]

Skills which heal you, but its a bit of a hit or miss stat. Somethings specify they are buffed by it, others dont but still are etc.

Basically skills which heal you are buffed by it, but not stuff like leech or regen.

[waxen sundial]

also this says "base" void damage, but does it also convert nodes that add void damage

[acoustic thicket]

Have the devs said anything relating to a release date for multiplayer?!

[acoustic thicket]

#news

Cool, thank you. Sorry Im new here

[static glacier]

No added damage gets not converted. Basicly the skill gets a fire tag ... thats it

[steel phoenix]

hey guys, has anyone seen / heard anything about an estimated date for 0.9? I know dates are hard sometimes, just curious if there was a rough estimate. even a quarter? like Q3 this year or Q4?

[sharp quartz]

Nope... best guess is after the original September plan for 0.8.6 but before the end of the year... I think @balmy current has a pool going, I have put my money on 14 Oct (the closest Friday to mid Oct)... 🤪

[potent harness]

Can someone confirm if I can get a blessing I already equipped to show up on monolith rewards? Like, the same blessing but different roll of the value?

[sharp quartz]

Yip.. it shows you new ones and the old, you then chose to change or keep the existing... the number of choices is based on the level monolith you are running

[potent harness]

I see, so I'm having terrible luck. can't get a new roll of endurance to show up, it's not that it cant, it's that bad luck

[sharp quartz]

It really is just luck.... and there are blessing slots - i.e. some have a specific choice of blessings that can roll each time so sometimes its easy to get what you need other times there are more blessing in the pool so the chances of what you need are less... you can see these on tunks website... https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/timelines

[potent harness]

yeah, I know about those. each mono has roughly the same amount of total blessings

[sharp quartz]

yeah, but the slots can skew the blessings you are offered - e.g. slot 1 might chose 1 out of 3 blessings and slot 2 might chose 1 out of 8 blessings.... Heavy explained it on the forum a while back.

[potent harness]

but the blessing i have equipped doesn't influence all that?

[sharp quartz]

Not meant to... I think Mike W also confirmed that on the forum a very long time ago.... There was some discussion about a QoL update suggestion that would give a blessing that had not dropped before a better chance, but that idea was never implemented (afaik anyway)....

[potent harness]

ok, gonna assume having the blessing equipped doesnt influence rng. ty

[steep zealot]

So, i have a bug i think? When i level up i get notification about getting a passive point but when i go into passives it says i have no points to spend. Level 43 necro

[urban horizon]

Is that older character? They removed / moved some of the passive quests and if you don't gain passives when you level up then you have too many passives atm

It will fix itself once you level up more or when you do new passive quests

[steep zealot]

ye, it is an old ass character

anothjer question. Does my crit % also increase my minions crit 5?

[urban horizon]

It does not. Only minion critical strike % will affect them

[steep zealot]

what bout fire damage% etc?>

[static glacier]

If it doesnt say minion it wont work

Some minions have nodes that allow them to scale with player stats ... eg. Storm crows

whats the best way to get a lot of dungeon keys? is it short 40 wave arenas and drop from arena boss?

[brittle atlas]

no

[errant sluice]

Would anyone happen to know if the affix "Increased damage of attacks used by shadows" also affects Shadow Daggers for Rogues? I figure not, since there is an increased Shadow Dagger affix as well, but just wondering because of the Penumbra ring for a Shadow Dagger focused build

[deft moth]

How storm totem area works? Does it increases max range at which totem can throw lightnings, or aoe hit radius of lightning itself. And does it increases Blizzard talent cold aoe radius? And does cast speed makes stat blizzard aoe tick faster...?

[brittle atlas]

no, shadows daggers is only ever used by the player

[errant sluice]

Thanks!

[tranquil nimbus]

Looking at the LE database, and if something says "Random Drop (very rare)" does that mean it's not craftable? Or is it craftable, just the affix shards are also hard to find?

[minor kindle]

hard to find

[tranquil nimbus]

gotcha

[waxen sundial]

alright boys and girls

enlighten me

anything specific i should try to use this on? like a rare drop that i could try getting with it

[native sail]

Bastion of Honor

[waxen sundial]

item base?

[native sail]

Shields

Base type doesn't matter for those iirc

[waxen sundial]

well i dont use those lol

[native sail]

Bastion fits anything that isn't a 2H or a catalyst, it's absolutely cracked

[waxen sundial]

isnt that a dungeon drop? does it still have a chance to drop with the rune?

[native sail]

It is not a dungeon drop

It is an extremely rare unique drop from pretty much anywhere

[waxen sundial]

ah okay, thought it was a soulfire bastion drop given the name

[native sail]

Nah, welllllll before Soulfire came out.

[waxen sundial]

i have yet to run any dungeons yet and make it past the first like 3 timelines

[waxen sundial]

wdym "fits"? does it work with 1h weapons?

[acoustic thicket]

It's just a generic insane shield.

[waxen sundial]

shiiiiiiiiiit

[acoustic thicket]

If you can use a shield, and not brick your build, it'll offer insane defenses for ya

[waxen sundial]

currently running 2h

[native sail]

It's pretty bonkers

[waxen sundial]

for something like this, does the resistance apply before damage conversion?

so like 100 void damage -35% down to 65 void damage and trhen 31% of that damage is taken as physical

but then that wouldnt make sense to make it work like that cause then your getting less void as physical which is kinda the opposite effect of what you want

but i guess all in all the res is making you take less damage so

[brittle atlas]

no

[waxen sundial]

so does it not get counted at all seeing as how its physical now?

[brittle atlas]

yep

like if you have 100% of void taken as physical, you don't need void res because you don't take void damage

in this affix's case, converting to physical is advantageous because armor is more effective against physical damage

[waxen sundial]

interesting, thanks. Devs did an awesome job with affixes.

[pastel garnet]

can you go above 100% crit chance?

[copper fable]

you can, but it does not do anything for most builds

There is a niche build where it does matter, but for every other build it does nothing.

[pastel garnet]

i was looking at Tide of Darkness

in dark quiver

[copper fable]

yeah that would probably work, but the question is it worth it? no idea.

[pastel garnet]

its worth it if you can go above 100

if 100 is the cap its not

[copper fable]

you would have to do weird gamblers fallacy type stuff imo

or else its like the hoops you jump through to get 200% crit normally for 400% inc damage seems not very worth

since if you convert it to fire you can instead just use elemental damage over time affix for huge damage

[pastel garnet]

Hail of Arrows benefits a lot from flat damage increases

so not that much space for increased damage over time

i was curious about gamblers fallacy

does it add base crit? scaled by increased crit afterwards?

[brittle atlas]

yes and yes

that's the core of ignivar's head disintegrate builds

use gambler's, never crit, have like giga crit chance for more damage

Tide of Darkness says increased damage though, which would make me think it's probably not that great?

[pastel garnet]

its def worse than more damage but ask yourself how much increased damage you get on Hail of Arrow dot anyway?

[brittle atlas]

over 1k?

ele dot affixes are massive

marksman has tons of increased

[pastel garnet]

i was looking at some of the Hail of Arrow builds

latest is from Perry it clocks around 300%

[brittle atlas]

perry's is probably from a hardcore weekend race?

[pastel garnet]

yeah

[brittle atlas]

yeah, it's unlikely he's getting anything remotely close to optimal gear in a 4 day event

[pastel garnet]

biggest piece he is missing is legendary reign of winter

and one ring

his relic affix could be better too i guess... maybe he can push around 700-800 with perfect gear

[brittle atlas]

also Ethereal Arrows is another 300-ish

[pastel garnet]

oh forgot that one

yeah you are right

[brittle atlas]

plus whatever you get from dark quiver

and 150 from shift

[pastel garnet]

dark quiver is only more & flat

[brittle atlas]

or more like 215 from shift

dark quiver is base 100% inc

[pastel garnet]

ah true

[acoustic thicket]

So yeah, 1k seems pretty reasonable. for a reasonably optimized setup there

[wide sentinel]

cant u just abuse crit vulenrability?

to get over 100% crit chance

[copper fable]

thats a debuff, all the dark quiver thing looks at is stat screen crit

hail of arrows nevers crit

and never hits

[honest bough]

any news on the community tester expansion?

[snow spruce]

#news message

[honest bough]

yes that is what i was talking about.

[snow spruce]

Then no, the post that they posted 2 days ago is the most recent thing.

[honest bough]

Alrighty, thanks.

[smoky otter]

Hellooo everyone, i just bought the game from this steam summer sale. Very excited about it . And I just want to ask one question: Can we combine between classes like Grim Dawn or Titan quest ? Like Necromancer but can also do cast skills from mage ?

[minor kindle]

Not yet, and it's not going to be like that, I think

On the other hand, there are currently 3 branches under the same basic class, and their passives and skills can be used in combination

To a certain extent, this is what you want.

[smoky otter]

Ohhh, im appreciated for your time and answer~ Im looking forward to the game very much. Also wish u and everyone have a best day

[azure lion]

If you could use one skill in another class, which one would you want? I want summon spriggan as a necromancer to passively heal my whole army. Maybe they could add them as items with active skills, like Diablo 2 and Grim Dawn.

[junior wadi]

I assume you won't be able to receive any talent nodes from the skill? I'd say Snap Freeze / Black Hole as they're great utility even w/o talent nodes

[azure lion]

yes exactly, those sound good indeed

[balmy current]

Anomaly, being able to push any mob out of the game for a few seconds to give you a bit of breathing space...

[junior wadi]

oh yea! thats a superb one too

[balmy current]

I think they changed it so it doesn't work on bosses anymore though.

[junior wadi]

sounds pretty wild it worked on bosses

would love to be able to remove Julra so she doesnt body block or when she's in the middle of her void spheres 😄

[static glacier]

Lagoon teleported away to reapear and just beam instantly in your face... great fun 😄

It really made esp. Lagoon do crazy stuff

[junior wadi]

lol, typical Lagoon

[sharp quartz]

... seriously tho... the devs said they fixed that Lagon blast you in the face with no notice issue... might want consider a bug report explaining step by step what happened so that they can check it...... again.....

[static glacier]

Most of the stuff got fixed havent noticed the the really weird stuff anymore in the last months 😄

[wide sentinel]

is 40 wave arena considered the best place to farm exalts now?

[brittle atlas]

I've mostly used dungeon

and look for days with good starting modifiers on t3/t4

and clear the floors

in temporal sanctum specifically

I don't really like arena gameplay tho, so I can't say I've done too much of the arena champions stuff tho

beyond just getting the uniques

[wide sentinel]

hmm i can do max juiced(600%+more dmg/hp) 40 wave arena in 6 mins and u have garanteed drop of 2 ex weapons and u get 2-6 more depending on what affixes they let you choose

so its ~50 ex per hour on avarage

[brittle atlas]

I'd have to time floors tbh, but the good days on dungeon of boss exalts or super high exalt drops from mobs has been probably about that much or more per run depending on rng

[wide sentinel]

hmm ill test it out

hmm i ran a couple of dungeons, is there a point of running t3 if i want to maximize chance to get target unique fromt he boss but also get good drops, or better to always run t4?

assuming u can do t4 fast

[brittle atlas]

T4 has bigger modifiers for drops afaik

[wide sentinel]

ye thats the confusing part, cause you cant see item rarity in dungeons, so the mods on the doors get bigger but that not necessary related to just drops

tho im running bastion and feels like majority of loot comes from gambler

[brittle atlas]

I can't stand bastion tbh

the layout/density seems a lot worse than temporal sanctum

and arbor has a timegated boss, so it's out imo

[brittle atlas]

@wide sentinel just did as T4 temporal sanctum to check

took me 3:20 and dropped 9 exalted

today's starting mod is rings. this run I picked up exalted relics from mobs, and boss drops idols

got 5 rings, 2 relics, 1 helm, 1 weapon

second run took 3:25 with a detour to the second door of a level to look for a better modifier, dropped 8 exalted

[wide sentinel]

sounds much better

[brittle atlas]

ye, keep in mind this is on my wraith's necro, so it's just running through the level, dropping wraiths, looting whatever exalted drop, then deleting the boss in <10 seconds

[wide sentinel]

well im smiter hammers

i just one shot the whole screen

so should be around the same speed

maybe abit slower

[wide sentinel]

hmm the chances of uniques look pretty low, ran 5 t3 got only1 ring that should drop in t1 dungeon i think

[brittle atlas]

from julra? or what

[wide sentinel]

no i farmed bastion

is julra better?

🤔

tho i dont need any of their uniques

[acoustic thicket]

Hi, i read multi should come in 0.9.0, anyone got an idea when ? In fall, winter?

[wide sentinel]

around that time

[brittle atlas]

imo Temporal Sanctum is faster to farm

better enemy density, better layout

boss dies a little bit slower than Bastion, but not significantly so

[wide sentinel]

ye for exalts for sure cause i ran bastion it took me like 7 mins or so to get to the boss

the density is awful

but i need 2 uniques from him so... dont have much of a choice

[brittle atlas]

I've got everything except the scythe

but I can't really be bothered to do more of it for now

[wide sentinel]

ye when i asked about if its better i meant in terms of unique drops

[waxen sundial]

genuine curiosity but will come off as me being weird, but im open for debate. What is the purpose of using prebuilt builds? and i can answer this question myself but im curious as to if theres some other personal reasons im interested in hearing. I can start off with my dislike for it to give everyone a better understanding of my point. All you do is copy paste skills and hunt for the same exact uniques. Little to no creativity involved in a game where creativity is flourishing. I get wanting to run super late end game stuff and do it with ease for completion purposes and what not. But is it really you doing it? or the guy that came up with the build? Just seems like the game would be so much more fun when your constantly experimenting and crafting/ trying new items and testing skills and affixes and what not. But i get it, my purpose of playing these games is to let my creative side wonder, where im sure others are just playing to complete it in as easy of a way as possible.

[brittle atlas]

I'd guess a lot of people have goals that don't involve being creative- they want a certain item or items, they want to complete certain content, get to a certain point in the game, etc.

For me personally, I like seeing what other people have done and then trying to do it better. If I see a build idea with potential then I want to try it myself and tweak it to push it to the next level for whatever content goal I have in mind. Some archetypes will ultimately be solved, but part of the fun in an ARPG for me is when things get changed- balance changes, new items, new skills, reworks, new content, etc. Those can play a role in what the optimal build or version of a build is for any particular thing and when a shakeup happens it's fun to revisit old and existing builds to see what can be updated to improve them and keep them relevant or make them more relevant than ever before.

Also sometimes, I have a build idea that needs particular items or whatever to work, so I'm just going to play whatever is fastest to farm those items for said build idea, even if it's something "meta" that is already a solved build.

[waxen sundial]

thats fair, i guess it all boils down to preference and play styles. My peak gameplay is just tinkering around and finding new things and thinking of new ways to make my build better and more things to add to it. Like i dont necessarily have an end goal, or certain content i want to get to, or anything concrete. Im just having fun and doing my own thing. But i get what your saying. Tweaking others builds sounds like fun, and yeah balance changes and new content additions are always a hoot. Also whenever i play these kinds of games all my characters are solo with no shared stash. i just like to work for what i want with each character.

[brittle atlas]

Currently, due to population more than anything, I'd guess, Last Epoch has a pretty high number of builds that don't get fully explored, optimized, figured out, etc. So there's a lot of room to find something cool someone has done in the past and work to make it great.

The builds I've enjoyed most or perhaps am most "known for" are both cases of me seeing others do something that looked like it had great potential that hadn't been fully explored and wanting to push it to the max.

Especially with things like Vision's weekend tournaments or the insane pace that some of the content creators put out build videos- there's a lot of collective knowledge to work with when it comes to build ideas and concepts.

Something else I enjoy about games like LE is the community collaboration aspect- multiple people playing the same build and all contributing to the collective knowledge of how to make that build its best.

It's fun to bounce ideas off other people doing the same or similar things and work together to make something as good as it can be.

[waxen sundial]

all very fair stuff. sounds like your into all the collaboration/ competition aspects of it. when i play these games im generally very solo except for talking about my build/ progress/ questions/ suggestions/ etc

[woven fulcrum]

I don't have the time or talent that many of the skilled builders have. I do, however, like to tinker and find my way and I can be really stubborn when it comes to skills (from alpha to about 8.1 I refused to use Vengeance because I hated that skill, I prefered - and still do - Rive.) But that said, I like to learn. So normally I do a lot of stuff on my own to start out with. Then when I begin to hit walls, I'll start looking at other builds that 'seem' similar to what I've been doing. This usually helps me have a half-dozen or so 'ah ha!' moments.

[wide sentinel]

if your goal in the game is super late game build than following a guide is a good idea, in the end game has 3-7 builds that are significantly better than others and even if u theorycraft youll end up there, after making one such build u can start thinking of builds with similar strength.

if you dont want that then it doesnt really matter what you do and you can try everything. people who copy paste usually are lazy or minmaxers

[waxen sundial]

thats fair, some people just arent suited for/ dont wanna take the time to go through all the build stuff. And with walls it definitely depends on the game. Like D3 is almost stupid with how easy it is to do end game stuff, and id say PoE is the hardest, and i have yet to really get super late game in any game other than Diablo, so well see how that goes.

[waxen sundial]

Im just stubborn and very prideful when it comes to this stuff. This will deff be my character i go the furthest with, but im committed to my build. I might make my own adjustments to it and tinker with it if i hit walls and have trouble. But im committed to taking it all the way. Just how I play. Someone could tell me "if you dont have 1 of these 10 builds for end game you wont be able to do it" and ill just say watch me.

[wide sentinel]

well good luck

depends on your goals tho a lot of builds can do bosses, pushing high corruption is literally useless cause you only hurt your farm so the only left endgame is arena which is basically who stacks more drs or oneshots everything offscreen

[waxen sundial]

dont think ill ever do arena

[wide sentinel]

well then will reach your goals for sure

[waxen sundial]

but i dont really have a goal, just play complete content and see how far i can go i guess

[wide sentinel]

tbh i think almost every build with super good gear can do t4 bosses after fightning them today

unless its like really really bad

[waxen sundial]

all im gonna say is theres no way its as cancerous as PoE end game so im sure itll be okay

[wide sentinel]

is poe endgame cancerous?

[waxen sundial]

easily the hardest end game of any ARPG and i havent even made it that far

[brittle atlas]

ye, there's no dps checks tbh, so you can just build sorta tanky and survive everything tbh

T4 isn't even that huge of a gear check tbh

[wide sentinel]

yepp

[waxen sundial]

which is good, im sure theyll add things to make it more and more difficult, but base end game should be completable with almost any build that youve put time and work into. Im all for like uber difficulties and making it harder and harder for a bigger test, but theres no reason anyone should have issue with mid end game stuff as long as theyve put work into their build. Like it should be difficult but still doable.

[sonic kraken]

Is there a way to target farm idols besides idol echo? I've been rolling with mostly resistances on my idols and never really got anything nice besides frostbite on cold hits for offense

[waxen sundial]

blessings

[sonic kraken]

These only give more idol drops of a certain size. I meant in more controlled way like you can target farm specific sets in specific timelines

[waxen sundial]

nope, echos/ blessings/ shrines only way to really effect idols

[sonic kraken]

Damn that kinda sucks. What about some way to make idol echos more common then?

[waxen sundial]

dont think you can alter the frequency of certain echoes

[cloud lichen]

Hello. Do you know if there will be multiplayer-only content? like raids or whatever, or will it just be the same as solo?

[balmy current]

They've previously said that they don't want to do MP-only content.

[cloud lichen]

ok thanks

[woven fulcrum]

which I'm very grateful for. One of the reasons I could never get into MMOs.

[cursive cave]

Hey guys, is this a typo and it means Lightning Blast instead?

[minor kindle]

no

Just 2 different things

[cursive cave]

Odd, same description and icon

[wintry lion]

Am I too excited for 0.9?

[warm birch]

It's different for the sole purpose of not being able to gain any mastery mods.

[balmy current]

That's, not entirely true. Since it's a proc & it can't go on the skill bar it will inherit any appropriate damage modifiers from the proccing skill (generic % more damage, % lightning damage, % elemental damage, % spell damage).

[stone granite]

A lot of passives have duplicate icons

[sonic kraken]

If I go a bit too hard with monolith modifiers is there anything I can do to reset them?

[hollow pelican]

not explicitly, but you can go to another mono, or use echoes that don't add mods to try to clear them off, such as quest echoes, Shade, or any of them special "meta" echoes

[sonic kraken]

What if I can't complete any echo? Am I effectively "bricked"?

[sharp quartz]

At the moment as there is no external way to reset the mono - you have to do monos to either increase or decrease the difficulty... so yes you are "bricked" for that specific mono, thats why its so important to keep an eye on modifiers.. but you could always try other monos and level up or improve your build and come back to try again....

[sonic kraken]

Thankfully I didn't reach the point of a "brick" yet but I was just asking for the future. I guess i'll have to really pay attention on higher corruption levels then
