I wonder how badly they'll nerf sorcerer's mana->ward talent.

e: Or maybe they'll nerf glacier to be unusable? That would be way more depressing.

Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

Well spawned into an monolith loaded with damage modifiers and got immediately one shot, think I do need to buff up my defenses for a bit. Not sure where to farm if I can't quite cut empowered monos, maybe try squeezing out the couple blessings I need?

I tried that town portal after monoliths to reset shop I saw here and when I took tp back I was inside a tree in a different zone 🙃

A boombox is not a toy!

I only had the chance to play for an hour or so, but I already have three skeleton friends, and something that makes BEES swarm and attack 10% of the time I hit. Game is fun so far, and I love the aesthetic.

Ok now I leveled a bit my druid. I tried werebear form because it looked cool.

wait, wait, you can press Q and run in a direction and kill everyone who's weak enough by ramming into them?
then W to jump into them and trigger Upheaval?
THEN E to roar, stun, pull everyone and trigger an attack speed boost, then SWIPE TO DEATH everthing?!

and then gently caress off in another direction and level the next pack of mobs???

it this Marvel Heroes Juggernaut?????

This isn't necessarily directed at you, but is useful and not-obvious knowledge for anyone coming to this game from other ARPGs: you don't need to touch a teleporter or portal to fast-travel. You can just open your map and go from anywhere to anywhere you've unlocked.

I was beyond disappointed with how the Werebear/Werewolf felt in D4 this weekend; the Druid is so good in LE.

Necromancer feels amazing in comparison to the bladedancer I took through the campaign initially. I wasn't a massive fan of the shadow clone mechanic and overall it just feels like every necro skill has a clearer use/better synergies.

On a side note, I hope they end up adding some more dynamic elements to the maps, as right now there's no point in looking around other than the occasional golden chest guarded by a handful of mobs.

Counterpoint: Bladedancer is the “delete the whole screen, now” class. Shadow Cascade + Umbral Blades + Shurikens, all triggered by Shift and/or Synchronised Strike. Shift -> dead screen (and sometimes a screen over)

Not related to CT you ever wonder why there are teleporting bears called Jahith? Because the D2 rune word for the teleporting armor is Jah Ith Ber.

Clever bastards.

Yeah, bladedancer is great, you can dash through 95% of the content and melt it in your wake. You absolutely poo poo on bosses too.

I played it a fair bit in 0.8.5, but I might roll another as soon as I find the gloves. It also benefits greatly from a bastion, but you can also just use a rare in the meantime.

I've just been running 2x Smoke Weavers on mine and rarely even come close to dying at ~200 corruption. And I'm still missing Wings of Argentus which is a significant defensive layer. Shadow Daggers are just OP. Scales with Throwing AND Melee and always crits.

Well tbf two smoke weavers is a lot of dodge

Shadow daggers is my favorite build I've tried so far, though I'm leveling a squirrel master now so we'll see

I like the plot of this game a bit. It really seems like the player is just jumping through time breaking things.

For example, in the early parts of the game, you gotta get two weird orb things to progress through the temple of Eterra, and to do so you very briefly travel back to the ancient age. If you look at the map, you'll see that the temple appears to have fallen out of the sky at some point after the ancient age. I wonder if the player dislodging random objects has anything to do with that? Lmao.

If I had to guess, the player is either Eterra or Orobyss or both.

I kinda sorta get why DOTs can't Crit, but it's dumb that Disintegrate is considered a DOT :colbert:

Trading isn't implemented so does it matter? Or do you just mean things worth stashing away for potential Alts? Either way https://www.lastepochtools.com/builds/

LET is the go-to resource for this game

Disintegrate can't crit itself, but Ignivar's Head lets it scale off of crit chance as basically a More multiplier. Add in a Gambler's Fallacy too for the funni.

Ah, yeah, I was running an exalted obsidian dagger with crit multi & phys, bleed & shred, sealed frailty. Bastion because it's busted. I don't know if I could justify Wings for this build, I like class mods and health too much. I had an LP2 Claws before, didn't get the hybrid health, but got more crit and shred on it at least.

I just unlocked bladedancer - apparently Shadow Strikes is confirmed bugged and not worth using?

Edit - Meant to say Dancing Strikes.

Edit again - Seems to be working fine for me, using dual daggers and online.

It's still bugged, but the bug is that it will let you use the skill when you aren't dual wielding but the animation only plays once and then the skill doesn't do anything. If you are dual wielding likke you are supposed to then it functions just fine.

Hey, this game is fun! Sorry if it's been asked already but is it normal that when I portal back to town, the map resets itself (automap becomes unfilled, enemies respawn)? I almost die like every single time I go to town because when I come back it seems like I've been getting wailed on by 100 enemies while I was in the loading screen. It's gotten to the point where I don't even bother looking at loot once my inventory is full. I played awhile back and don't remember that happening. Otherwise I'm having a great time being a Wearbear.

I am using the auto filter to only show yellow items or above. I don't know what that would have to do with why the map resets itself every time I portal to town.

You shouldn't need to go back to town multiple times per map. I'll go 5-6, minimum, before needing to look into inventory management.

Also, some blues are really good and worth picking up. Yellow and above isn't a good filter.

Don't do that, a magic item with two high tier affixes you want is worth a shot at yellow-fying (rarifying?!??!)

Okay, thanks for the tip. Is there any point putting much effort into doing that before the late game? I'm like level 30 now and haven't been paying too much attention to items.
