As a CoF player I think I have 30+ tabs and nothing to do with my gold.

Vulpes posted:Profane Veil's Vampiric Pool is supposed to absorb 4% of killed minion health as ward (per tool tip), but it's doing 40% instead, allowing warlocks to generate 100k+ ward with two key presses on a very short cooldown. Ahh, thanks. That's coincidentally the one build I looked up when I tried to find another example of necrotic warlock and I had no idea it was a bug lol. But it was for a hardcore build guide and I figured it wasn't really necessary for a casual player, so decided not to go that route. e: nerox posted:What is the link to the broken warlock build?

Tonetta posted:if you simply just don't pick up poo poo to sell, you can clear like 50% faster and earn like 48% more gold in doing so Yeah I figured out that at least by the time I'm doing monoliths, I'm better off having a really tight loot filter and leaving behind basically anything I don't want to shatter, stash, or wear. The time spent screwing around with vendoring stuff ends up being a loss once I'm speeding through maps

GrandpaPants posted:For Monoliths, is it more efficient to rush towards their objectives and then bounce out or to maximize the stability gains by killing trash mobs? I assume the former, but I've only just started clearing them. Doesn't look like this got answered. You're correct that you almost always want to rush objectives, especially before getting to Empowered Monoliths. You'll build stability faster that way, plus all the monolith rewards. If you find yourself in an area with an exceptional number of monsters, you can hang around and kill more things if you want, but it's rarely optimal. The best thing you can do is get to Empowered Monoliths as soon as your build can handle it. That can even mean skipping entire timelines if you feel up to it, since you only have to complete the last three timelines to unlock Empowered in all of them.

8-bit Miniboss posted:Cost for stash tabs will be reduced next week: Some interesting stuff in there, a few snippets for those that don't wanna click through to Reddit: quote:Selling items to vendors for gold is not an intended gameplay loop, and we actively discourage it by having items generally sell for very little gold and instead make enemies drop it more. This is already very apparent relatively early in the campaign. quote:Another thing we missed, was the cost of stash tabs. With the introduction of Cycles they do not need to cost as much anymore, and even without this powerful new gold farming method provided by Prophecies it should've been reduced. quote:Stash tabs are too expensive and as already mentioned, they will be going down. 25% was the current number we had in mind when originally I posted, but that's already going up to atleast 50% if not more. There might be other adjustments too, like having the first 10, 20 or some other number be much more cheaper than the next ones instead of always having the same cost increase. We don't need to increase gold gain globally as a result of these changes, though I'd like for gold Echo reward to scale a bit more aggressively with Corruption compared to the current values.

So my invulnerable VK isn't so invulnerable in empowered mono's. Lol. Got smacked down in 3 echos now. All 3 by those stupid giant snake ladies with fire damage, and I have 150%+ fire resist. Maybe just a level difference, or I just need more than 1500 health and 4k+ ward now. Some of the maps are a breeze, but those snake ladies... drat.. In other news I just had my first hard crash in the game. I was moving through an echo or mono or whatever the individual maps are, and suddenly got 'stuck'... I could still fire off my abilities and kill things, but couldn't move, even with my transversal skill. After a bit, it then hard froze.. and then the game just closed. No error, just... gone. Pretty strange, and not something I'd ever experienced before release with a couple hundred hours in the game.

Curse did some back-of-the-napkin math and the ward generated with large (but not crazy) investment in minion health, assuming the minion scaling on bone prison actually worked, was something like 18k. Not particularly good for monos when you having to stop and spin for half the time you're playing, but it'd probably fit into some build nicely. In the meantime I'm going to keep enjoying being able to hit it then run to objectives. I'm sure next season there will be some overtuned thing and I'll have fun with that too. fknlo posted:I don't pick up random junk but I'm always way ahead of dying things and therefore miss a lot of gold as a bleed warlock. Stash tabs get expensive quick too. They apparently said they'll lower the cost of them by 25% with the next patch to compensate. The gold sinks in general feel like a weird trade-focused response. I can respec my passive tree and shatter stuff all day now, but earlier when that would have eased me into crafting and let me experiment more it was prohibitively expensive to do anything.

Welp, finally hit my ceiling. Can't do empowered monoliths or tier 3 dungeons without better gear, but better gear does not drop. To get more survivability, I'll have to drop all my mana/regen so I can't even use fissure anymore. I'm not even sure what's wrong with my build, I have all the right skills, skill points, passives, etc. I have all my resists capped. I just only have 1100 hp and fall over sometimes. also wow dungeons are loving spiteful. You die and it crashes your game and logs you out.

The Locator posted:Ah, okay. So it would still generate ward, but not scale like it does. On the other hand that would allow all the increased healing effectiveness affixes to become more spell damage or more void damage instead, as it's a prefix shard, so the DPS side would skyrocket, while still retaining all the health and hybrid health suffixes. Seems like it would still be a solid and tanky build (well, at least the VK Autobomber build, not sure about other Sentinel builds). Not really, since Healing Effectiveness already scales Healing Hands damage. Its kinda the issue with the build, one stat alone scales your sustain, damage and ehp. Losing the ward component would lose you the free ehp buffer and you'd be more reliant on good suffixes to survive one-shots. Your sustain would still be absolutely through the roof though

Dreylad posted:knowing how the devs operate through EA with enough pushback that they seem to be getting they'll probably reverse course If we're basing this on forum responses to the patch notes then step one should be deleting warlock and step two should be turning the game into a key-based economy. I'm not sure if this is the group you want to break the seal on gear-affecting midseason changes for. A Moose posted:Welp, finally hit my ceiling.

Could probably plug your stuff into the build planner and someone could tell you what's up. I'd probably say give yourself more HP via idols and affixes but that's not very helpful if all your idol slots are resists or whatever.

Like others said, post your build. I have a tiny mana pool and way less health than some others but have been successfully running a low life bleed build even before I had some of the required pieces and had like 2000 ward. I'm up to almost 6k ward now though.

Fruits of the sea posted:Welp, glad to know I'm not the only one. It's by far the worst part of the game so far. Wait what? The loot filter is by far one of the best aspects of the game. It’s a little bit of a chore to figure out but once you get it dialed in it absolutely trivializes inventory management since you a) only pick up stuff you’re actually interested in and b) know exactly what you’re picking up since you can color code everything yourself. Mine is still extremely halfass but it still lets me immediately see & differentiate -anything with a rare general affix or one directly related to my class with enough tiers to make it worth a rune of removal (generally 80+ on the item tables at lastepochtools.com) -anything with a T6-T7 affix that’s useful to my build -anything with at least two t5 affixes related to my build -idols that have two desirable affixes only -experimental items Uniques and non-related exalts still pop up normally; I usually shatter the exalts for more shards. Rare gets sorted into a removal tab, t6-t7 get sorted into exalt tabs, 2+ t5 items get sorted into a dump tab that I look at every now & then and decide to shatter or dump or maybe craft, experimental/unique/idol all get tossed in their tabs. It’s a super critical part of the game; a major aspect of the game is crafting better and better gear for yourself and setting up your loot filter properly really streamlines a lot of that. It’s easy and convenient to use once you get used to it, and making changes on the fly is simple. About the only thing I wish for is either tooltips or grouping affixes by drop rarity so I don’t have to cross-reference out of game.

I get the frustration with the loot filter. It's a powerful tool that is needed early on in the game, but requires knowledge from way later to be useful. At this point I could look at a leveling build and what I'd eventually spec into and make a loot filter that accounted for different stages easily enough. I couldn't do that when loot became overwhelming on like day three of release. The probably would have been day one of release if the servers hadn't fallen over.

I couldn't do that when loot became overwhelming on like day three of release. The probably would have been day one of release if the servers hadn't fallen over. Honestly, I've really never found it that hard, even without looking at anyone else's loot filters. Yeah, you're not going to have a perfect endgame "here's exactly what I need" filter as you level if you don't think it out ahead of time or copy something. But even as a brand new player in early access, it was easy enough for me to gradually build my own loot filter that worked fine. It basically went "okay, I don't want to see white poo poo anymore, hide that." "Okay, now I only want gold or above unless it has these couple of affixes or resistances I want." "Okay, I'm getting too much rare poo poo show, so now only show purple, sets, and uniques, unless it has these few specific affixes/resistances I want." It's not going to be perfect, but the affixes for most builds aren't exactly rocket science and it wasn't that hard to be like "okay I'm playing a minion build, give me everything to do with minions, give me the five necro skills I'm using, and my void resistance is poo poo so give me anything with that." Or something similar for other classes; I always at least had a handle on what skills I planned to use, what damage types I was looking for, and what I needed in terms of resistances, and then that additional poo poo like extra armor or health were always good. I dunno, maybe my brain just works in a loot filter-y way.

There are affixes that can only spawn on specific gear slots, if that's what you mean. You can only get global cooldown reduction on belts and shoes, movement speed is only on shoes, etc.

Awesome! posted:no like in the poe sense. if I get a weapon with 25% necrotic damage on it does that apply to all of my necrotic damage or just the necrotic damage on the weapon Hopefully I don't have this wrong, but there are several types of "damage". There is generic damage which is global, Spell damage which is... well, for skills with the 'spell' tag, and there is melee damage. So if you were playing a melee necrotic damage character you would want "Melee Damage", "Necrotic Damage", and "Melee Necrotic Damage" affixes. I think. Basically match the tags on the affix with the tags on the skill in-game. Edit: Hopefully that's not too wrong. I am using no melee at all and primarily void, so I am using Spell Damage, Spell Void Damage, and Void Damage affixes, but not melee void damage.

I’m very much a “nerfs are healthy for games” type player, but even for me those responses blow my mind. Obviously classes need to be roughly balanced against each other to guarantee build variety, but isn’t this what seasons are for? The world is replete with evidence right now that people are incredibly loving stupid, but arpg players losing their minds about nerfs and about things not getting nerfed is another nice example.

I think most people would agree that having something that takes up inventory slots that you can't destroy or sell for even a pittance of gold is simply annoying. When Blizzard made potions disenchantable in D3 everyone rejoiced even though you only get one measly forgotten soul for it.

You can now open the inventory while you look at the market window. Sounds trivial but you had to remember all the stats of an item when you wanted to search for similar items. If you forgot an affix and had to look at the item in your inventory, the market browser would close and everything you entered before was lost. You can also list items that are in your stash. Doesn't help that the market economy is dead but nice to see that they're improving things.  I bought one of those on the first weekend for 850k and I will never be able to afford another one.
