I really wish one could organize prophecies that you selected instead of just being in order of when you bought it.

Have to keep track of them in excel so I can tell which monolith I have most in to focus on at times.

vvv speak it! I was only doing corruption 125 and it took me a solid 50 tries on my falconer.

I just buy a shitload of prophecies and then erase all traces of it from my mind, so its a fun surprise when I do random stuff, and I get surprised by the sudden pile of uniques/exalteds and die to some long range nuke from 2 screens away!

Yeah, if nothing else it's a pretty neat solution to the problem of "this unique has a great ability on it but I need these stats/resists to not have gaping holes in my gear"

capping resists seems hard at first, until you get empowered blessings, and then between those, implicits, idols, passives from your mastery etc, it's not that hard. You just end up with 1 piece that has a ton of elemental resist, and then a huge chunk of something specific.

and then you learn it doesn't matter and all those slots should have health instead.

Do resists and armor apply to damage taken by ward as well as HP?

I feel like that'd break the game a little bit if LP4 is supposed to be uber rare and then you can just use some Rare Candies to make your own.
Or I guess it could be like a once-per-item +1LP. Or scale rarity with some kind of level cap on the Unique it's used on.

Wouldn't hate it though because drat I don't have nearly as many multi-LP low level uniques as you all seem to :v:

Now that I fully understand how Legendary Potential works, I think it's a really ingenious system to keep uniques relevant while also making good Exalted drops desirable as well. It's actually quite clever how they did it.

The only parts that suck IMO is having to run the dungeon to upgrade them. At the very least if you could upgrade multiple at once...

Yea, I'm not overly bothered by it just when I select new ones I try to be a bit efficient in my runs.
If I already have 2 for Black Sun, might as well grab a 3rd or 4th since I'm going to do that run.

How can I remove a blessing, last monolit just gave me a bunch of "drop of gear" for stuff I didn't need a boost in.

Noper Q

You can't remove blessings, and you don't need to; those blessings increase your drops overall, so there's no downside.

If you want another blessing, keep running the monolith until you can fight the boss again. Note that this is not really worth doing until you get to empowered monoliths, since the blessings you get from those have bigger numbers.

LP is already bonkers OP.
An unique, with an unique interaction but without actually giving up a gear slot.
LE has max 4 affixes so even hitting 2/4 needed stats is gamechanging

Why the frostbite swarmblade instead of the lightning one? Been trying to decide between the 2 for my next alt and was leaning storm.

Lightning bug was indirectly nerfed with lightning bolts changing to storm bolts. They used to scale with the 100%, 88%, and 10% more damage multipliers in Tornado, but now scale with Gathering Storm which has a single 32% modifier and 40% lightning pen. It should still be a good build but frostbite was already doing more damage and the gap is wider now. The only problem the frostbite version has is the unique boots have very low movement speed, so it may be worth waiting to play it until you land exalted movespeed on them with LP.

Mage in general doesn’t seem to get any skills or passives that scale exceptionally well, you don’t get to cash out your stats into a huge payoff like healing into ward, or something like flame drinker rive. It’s just mostly flat bonuses.

I don't know, but I'm starting to get annoyed whenever I see a shrine of worship because I know that my brain won't let me move on until I've inspected every idol and picked up the ones with good rolls. Just totally stops my flow.

The exact configuration will depend on how your item filter is set up but put in a separate rule for Lagonian idol type that doesn't look for resist affixes since those ones can only ever roll up to 8%

Honestly just a very rare consumable that adds 1-2 LP to a 0 LP unique would be nice. Heartbreaking to see a well-rolled unique go to waste because it didn't roll any LP.

A better plan (though very PoE) would be a rune that just re-rolled the LP chance on a unique. But right now we can't craft on uniques at all so it doesn't seem like something they'll do any time soon.

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

My warlock is 99.85 and just died in t4 Soul Bastion because the fire on the ground in the boss fight was green, and I had the necrotic shield on, and it killed me via fire damage in 2 seconds with 75% fire resist and 8000 ward. Think I’m taking a break for a day or two because that is hella frustrating.

So Steam appears to be down, and I see "No Connection" at the bottom of the Steam window.

When I launch Last Epoch it gives me a warning that it can't sync with Steam Cloud and I may lose all my saves forever if I continue. I only play 'offline', but I know that Steam generally syncs the saves because I can continue to play on my laptop when I am away from home. Does anyone know for sure if my local save will have priority over the Steam cloud if I play while Steam appears to be down, or will the Cloud save over-write my local save when it comes back up?

You playing Hardcore? I personally play games to have fun and relax and the stress of working so hard to avoid death in HC and the frustration of dying to something like that would make the game incredibly un-fun to me. I don't know how people do it.

Nah it’s not even hardcore it’s just annoying enough to sap my will to play for a bit. I can do 400 corruption monos easily on that warlock and a weird graphic glitch on a boss killed me before I could teleport out after seeing my ward tick down.

This only happens 1 of 2 ways.

1) everybody has 4lp whatever they want with some effort

2) they're used exclusively for the oby ammy.

Both would be pretty toxic to the game, from my perspective

I think what happens is that you still stack ignite or whatever on that boss and when you switch to the necro shield the fire just blows you up. Probably a bug?

The thing that really pisses me off is that I'll get through the dungeon just fine but it's only at the boss where I'm tested so it feels like a good fix would be to just let me prove my worth on each separately: If I finish the dungeon part but die at the boss, kick me out and eat my key but give me the option to skip to the boss the next time I plug a key in until I beat the boss part, at which point I should be forced to do the dungeon again.

A more risky alternative would be just letting the door eat however many keys you put in it and each one counts as a life. You don't get any back when you win.

I just think the spike in boss difficulty from t3 to t4 is too much, especially with it being one and done. It sucks breezing through to the boss to get clapped 20 seconds in and then you have to do it again to figure out the pattern. No thank you.

Switched up to Poison Lich and feeling a lot better so far. Just curious, what are some good benchmarks for a build? Like, I am about to hit L97 and feel medium comfortable on low 200s corruption. Lots of gearing optimization left to go but I wasn't sure how that stacks up.

I hit monoliths relatively recently and I'm working towards empowered by clearing up the right side. Are there any general tips I should know for my Warlock that are non-obvious, or stuff about what to do now that I'm in monos that I may not know since I'm new to the game? I've dipped my toes a bit into crafting and am picking up all the Exalted drops I find but I'm not sure what I should care about on those, or if I should start excluding some based on the stats.
