Dunno haven't tried it yet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYej2yZCCKM I wanted a spin build that didn't use orbs or anomaly or reversal and this is what I found.

Unlocking the javelin skill, getting it to zero mana, getting the unique bident+devotion+shock boots, then optimizing smite trigger idols was the most fun I had in terms of progression in this game.

So does the current story line end after the desert when you kill the snake lady around level 55~60? For some reason I thought I had read that more of the story had been added since the last time I played and I'm pretty sure this is the same point where I went into the monoliths before.

Majasa is fairly recent. I think they said there's at least 2 more chapters coming? But yeah, after that there's just monolith/dungeons/arena. To be fair, I kinda enjoy the new dungeon relative to just running monoliths ad nauseam. As far as Reversal, I usually see people run it for the passive buffs & to proc void rifts for the increased damage taken node, so you mostly just use it for bosses.

I picked this up cause god dang it I've been watching it for years, and it's good. I wish I had ONE more ability button, but I think that actually will be coming with the signature ability and I also know it's just the way the game works. But goddamnit I hope the runemaster comes in with multiplayer. I've been waiting for that class for the whole time I've been watching this thing, and after playing I just want it more.

Have they said anything about the Runemaster's playstyle? My Spellblade didn't feel particularly fun. I enjoyed Sorcerer much more. Sadly my PC seems to have poo poo the bed yesterday, which is unfortunate because work is slow and I just wanna kill monsters

Sab669 posted:Have they said anything about the Runemaster's playstyle? My Spellblade didn't feel particularly fun. I enjoyed Sorcerer much more. The Runemaster is supposed to be a "calculating" class that uses glyphs and wards to control the environment, make environmental obstacles, and create magical traps. They've mentioned a Golem too but I'm not all that interested in that, even though some sort of pet would be good for the class outside of multiplayer because it's FULL of ways to help allies and doesn't get any. Honestly, if the Runemaster does what they say it does, the Mage could end up my favorite ARPG class ever. Focus and Preparation give it an actual spellcaster feel, and Focus does double duty as an active defense along with Flame Ward to make the class defend against attacks like a wizard instead of only being able to get out of the way. It's still smart to get out of the way, obviously, but it feels great to be able to surround yourself with magic to survive attacks and not just be effortlessly tough or have no other recourse but to run. Combined with its support potential, it's a class that I'm downright excited about and love to play. It's a good wizard

I'm currently playing this one: https://forum.lastepoch.com/t/1-to-82-fire-minion-necro-leveling-guide-0-8-3e/45834 Just breaking into the 70's now, and all my death's except 1 were just me be stupid and standing still trying to look at a piece of loot or my navel while in the middle of a fight. The 1 exception was the end boss of the level 66 timeline.. Reydah or something, who has one phase that is simply impossible to survive without luck, or a movement skill as he fills too much of the floor with his purple doom for me to avoid even if I'm not even trying to do anything else. Doesn't help that void was my lowest resist, but it's certainly not zero and I'm pretty sure I would end up dead with void resist capped on that phase anyway. Since his phases seem to be random, I died the first time in the first 10 seconds of the fight, and the 2nd time it was almost the last thing he did, and I just layed on the ground dead until my minions finished him off and I still got credit and opened up the next timeline. gently caress that dude and gently caress floor-covering death things that require a movement skill or luck to avoid. I am definitely hitting the point where I'm looking more for defensive boosts than offensive, as my little horde crushes everything pretty well with 650-850% bonus on minion physical/spell/fire damage. I've veered away from his build guide at a couple of points, adding extra minions earlier than the build guide, and adding some stuff points from the lich tree for +int and mana regeneration.

One question I have is, are uniques a waste of space at low levels? Is there a way to level them up, or do they just scale really well so it would make sense to have a level 5 unique at level 75?

Some uniques scale with level but most don't, so they can fall off completely at endgame if it's a low level one. But with this patch they added a new stat called legendary potential which can roll on any unique in the 0-4 range and it allows you to combine the stats from a rare item into the unique, up to all 4 stats if it rolls 4 legendary potential. The stat is weighted based on the level of the unique so weaker low level uniques are more likely to roll a higher value, but 4 is still extremely rare. 1-2 LP is pretty common though on lower uniques and can make them quite usable.

Clarification: As a newbie, it seems like some unique effects are good or important enough that they can make up for the slot, so you might be holding a pretty low-level unique for a while because you really like the part where (made-up example) it makes all your slug minions proc your flame blasts on hit, which is a key part of your build. But as Cinara said, there's a lot that are Nice but don't really scale well, so you need to turn them into Legendaries in the endgame.

I need to figure out how that works since I'm collecting a bunch of keys for that dungeon where you have to go and make them, just haven't gone yet since I figured I should probably have something worth sticking into the legendary cook-pot thing first.

You won’t really see stuff dropping with legendary potential until you’re well into the monolith. Apparently the new dungeon drops tons of exalted items, but I haven’t run it yet. My highest character is in the low 80s, and while I like the idea of the monolith, postgame mostly feels like a treadmill to me, so I keep starting new characters instead of really pushing into high level content.

I've had a fair number of legendary potential items drop, albeit mostly potential 1. I kind of feel the same way about the end game, but I'm still enjoying this at level 77, so we'll see how much longer I go.

Started playing this game a few days ago, just hit level 85 and I've decided it's time to deal with 'the idol situation' I've picked up every idol the entire game and haven't tossed one yet, I have over 10 full stash tabs and now begins the great sortening.

As a suggestion, figure out what kind of idols you actually want, set your loot filter up and dump everything on the ground.

"End Game" in Diablo-likes has never really appealed to me, so I'm also on the "a dozen different characters" train.

The build planner that everyone uses can auto generate loot filters but I dunno how good they are. They are fast! I have a level 53 shadowdancer that melts everything, I just rolled the first monolith no problem, is there a reason to continue the quest line (other than the gripping, compelling narrative of course)

Bonus: once you create that filter it ALSO applies to anything you drop from your inventory or stash, so if you can't bear the thought of maybe throwing away something worthwhile (but CAN bear all the clicks to throw them out one by one) then you'll know right away! edit: yeah you can search for affix names in the stash, but if you have a lot of desirable idol affixes then that's ALSO a pain and the filter is right there! zoux posted:The build planner that everyone uses can auto generate loot filters but I dunno how good they are. They are fast! As I understand it, those auto-filters aren't great since they are built based very specifically on the items equipped in the planner rather than a broader concept of what might be best for the build - but that might have changed since I last looked at them, the dude behind that site is great about feedback. quote:I have a level 53 shadowdancer that melts everything, I just rolled the first monolith no problem, is there a reason to continue the quest line (other than the gripping, compelling narrative of course) If you're talking about the campaign - idol slots and passive points maybe? Though IIRC there's a cap on how many of those you can get through quests and actually more available in the campaign than you can use, so you don't actually have to complete the campaign for any reason unless you want to? Otherwise, obviously the monolith quest lines breadcrumb you through the monoliths as they unlock and lead you to the best ones for loot etc. Dallan Invictus fucked around with this message at 20:17 on Jan 10, 2022 |

^You'd be better off just using the Search feature on the inventory screen to search for the affix name. Or the actual stat's text, if the search feature is that robust. I wish you could Ctrl+F to select that textbox Pretty sure it works in PoE. Oh well, Early Access game yadda yadda yadda

You can see if you've hit the cap on passives and idol slots by looking at the map. In the lower left-hand corner it shows idol and passive completion.

the reward for finishing the last (so far) quest says a passive point and +1 to all skills, but i just got the +1 to all skills. had hit the 15/15 passive points by then though, so idk regardless, it'd be nice if they spread those 15 out a bit more to give the last part of the questline some kind of mechanics-driven point. or even throw some affix stones or idols or something idk. just giving XP/GP is a bit lackluster re: loot filters: i've watched a couple vids about setting them up, but still feel like i'm Doing It Wrong and getting too much crap. Any good general how-to guides y'all have found useful? also: any strategies for how to walk through the monolith options effectively? i like that each mission is short and sweet, has that good Adventure Mode vibe from D3; no idea if there are better/worse etc ways to approach other than "try not to double back since rewards get better the further you go from the hub"

What that means is if an item drops with 2 of your affixes, but they're both T1's then it won't show up/be emphasized. If you get one T4 and one T2 it would show up. The idea here is that since you only have a limited number Crafting Potential, eventually you'll get to a point where you still care about items with certain affixes, but only if you're not going to blow all the CP making only 1 of those a T5 essentially.
