Jesus, game really blew up this weekend. 234,016 players online right now. :prepop:

this is a sidebar, but do you have any high monolith characters you hadn't checked out since launch? like, ones where you were trying to push rarity? when they changed how the monolith scales, they left people in that position a funny present for a few maps

There's a reason why "running the campaign 15 times" was mentioned specifically.

this is why theres no dialogue in ere. you just keep drat replying without answering

I'm trying to follow this maxroll shaman totem build but I'm not sure I understand. It's a shitload of button presses just to clear trash. Summon crows, summon 3 totems which only last a few seconds, switch to spriggarn, push a few more things, maybe summon a healing totem?

Is there a better shaman build that's more straightforward and I can just blast through poo poo on the screen without endlessly summoning poo poo that either dies or does underwhelming damage?



edit: There is an upgrade to spriggarn form that makes the healing totems shoot thorns. Now it makes a little more sense, will continue with this guide for a bit

Yeah, you eventually get to the point where you're spamming healing/thorn totems three at a time with like nine total, and spamming them is a rage positive due to Memories of Eterra in the thorn tree, so you never have to drop Spriggan form. It doesn't click until you get all those pieces in place, but once it does it is one of my favorite builds. It melts everything and it's very durable unless you just stand in a big boss attack or something.

Is it really impossible to change 'mastery'?

It is, sadly. One of the things I wish they'd change since the build to getting your mastery is the most boring part of the game.

I said I don't mind replaying the campaign but if they don't want to allow respeccing mastery, it would be nice if they allowed a jump to getting your mastery and having 20 points available in your main skill for people who have already advanced a character of that class that far

:shepface:God I fucking love Diablo 3 gold, it even paid for this shitty title:shepface:

My warlock is level 84 and I still hadn't found the unique helm that I want (Boneclamor) so I used most of my favor on a bunch of dungeon prophecies and did a Lightless Arbor. Got 3 of the helms, including one with 3 LP lol. Also an Aaron's Will and a few other fairly rare uniques despite this only being a tier 2 dungeon/prophecies. I think minmax people will want to go for the bazaar faction since you can eventually buy exactly the idols/uniques/exalteds your build wants but the prophecies and passive boosts from CoF are pretty good too.

I hadn't really been target farming it, just working my way through monoliths for blessings and getting started on empowered monoliths. I've just been running a low life ward build with Exsang, Last Steps of the Living, and Mortality's Grasp since those are random uniques that had dropped for me.

Looks like I also got a 1LP Wraithlord helm, that might be fun to mess around with.

I used to think the PoE thread brought out the worst in people but it turns out some goons are insufferable wherever they're posting.

I'm playing a generic minion necromancer at the moment. If I want to pivot to minion ailments what's the best option? I've done bleed before and it seems pretty good, just wondering if poison or ignite might be a better alternative.

bleed might be the only viable one for casual zoo necro. there's generic damage over time stuff for minions, so you might be able to scale both bleed and posion together, but I couldn't get an ignite build going as zoo necro.

Free to roam the heavens in man's noble quest to investigate the weirdness of the universe!

Argh, the server hiccuped and I died during the boss fight of Lightless Arbor, then disconnected me. So uh, don't do Dungeons right now I guess is my message.

Also, are all the dungeons such drags? LA was just way too huge and sprawling. I felt like I wasn't even getting that much Exp for it, either?

Once the servers stabilize I was thinking of doing a toxic skeleton shepherd. Here's the build I had in mind:

https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/EALkn8no (I didn't set up equipment, just skills/passives.)

It is very much a glass cannon. Obviously this is just a theorycraft so I won't know how it actually performs but the idea is this:

Have a bunch of skeleton rogues chucking acid flasks at enemies while being little tiny blenders. Aura of Decay makes everything suffer. Wandering Spirits is "press button, free damage." Volatile Zombie cuz they'll shamble up to foes, puke, then explode, also serves as your spammable mana dump. Transplant for escaping sticky spots & general survival.

The dungeons have maps that are semi random but typically you always want to head in the same general direction to get to the next floor, and once you know the general layout they are much quicker.

BalorMage on Twitch has been doing a Shaman Totem build https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/WQJmpNbA he said it is less button pressing than Maxroll, not done this one myself yet but he's been playing variants of it over the years.

An uncountable number, to be sure.
Welp, just reached a level where I can find rogue armor that has flat +falcon damage on it as the implicits, which suddenly doubled my damage. Seems a little weird to stick so much power into something like that, tbh.

Realistically you can still just go play offline now and leverage your experience from your previous playthrough to get through the next. However, I must warn you that the grind for cof is arguably worse since you can't cheese rep through 0 gold item listing. It is the obviously the better faction and you should swap to it regardless if you reroll or not.

I should have just created an offline guy (did SSF AF anyway :v:). I'm only level 16 but leveling as rogue has been kind of meh so far. Just hitting one button to kill and then dashing with the other skill. I just got my bird and then I got the ole LE-61.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

I also rolled a falcon rogue today and had the same experience., minus the LE-61. It starts to feel so much better once you get explosive trap. The little ping sounds when you use it tickle the neurons. Also it kills the poo poo out of things. Although, still not as easy-breezy as my warlock.
