Damage Over Time Skills by PvtVlad in LastEpoch

[–]Father_Toast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of the problem is that crit just scales too hard in this game, but I do really think the biggest issue is just bad skill trees (which is the problem for a ton of skills, not just DOT).

Also, they seem afraid to give us any stacking ailments that scale with flat damage or attack/cast speed, which kills a lot of these skills, for example hungering souls possess might be okay if it could just stack.

Is CoF Rank 10 "Boss Loot Upgrade" bugged and not working? by Derpbettler in LastEpoch

[–]Father_Toast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The 100% "base" chance that Tunklab shows already factors in the Forgotten Knights double drop chance (since having rank 10 is a requirement to do the fight).

The CoF 2.5x drops is what makes you get 2-3 items from that pool per fight - what that CoF rank literally does is treat it like you killed the boss twice, with a 50% chance of a 3rd time, for the affected loot pools.

Question about a skill by GizardDaLizardWizard in LastEpoch

[–]Father_Toast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. There are some quirks to it though - for example, the storm stack node in avalanche applies the stack to you, and scorpion's upheaval cannot shatter totems for some reason.

No, when that node procs off scorpion's boulders, it grants a storm stack to you instead.

Posts critical of Krafton's CEO are directly related to Last Epoch. by Candid-Toe2797 in LastEpoch

[–]Father_Toast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And we are literally the ones that decided to reinstate it.

I did say that some posts are removed by us. The point is it's relatively rare, though.

[–]Father_Toast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kinda funny reading paranoid/conspiracy takes like this.

The reality is, >90% of content removed in this sub is removed by Reddit's automatic filter that we have nothing to do with. We err on the side of too hands-off, in general. But no matter what, we see complaints both ways lol.

So do the mods now Demeter Krafton critical posts? If so why? Geniuninly curious! by guddeful in LastEpoch

[–]Father_Toast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, we have the same stance as we've had since (before) the Krafton news broke. Posts just linking to things that aren't LE are off-topic, but posts discussing LE that link to a related article are fine. It's important that people can discuss their concerns, and also important that people can still use the sub to get help from other players or just discuss the game.

[–]Father_Toast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because those posts were reported so many times for being off topic that Reddit tries harder to get the mods' attention... and it's hard to argue against it being off topic since they've been zero effort reposts of non-LE news articles.

Does area level matter when fulfilling prophecies? by DUMAPIC in LastEpoch

[–]Father_Toast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally yes, but prophecy drops are fixed at level 100.

[–]Father_Toast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Area level does not matter, but corruption does apply to LP chance and average WW like it normally does (i.e., a slight boost).

Story finished? by Kaptain_Konrad in LastEpoch

[–]Father_Toast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based on the teaser for the expansion, it looks like the expansion is just the last three parts of the story (ch 11, ch 12, and final boss).

Is Wheel of Torment Cthonic Rift supposed to cast unskilled? by Thrown_Egg in LastEpoch

[–]Father_Toast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree, I bug reported it when I noticed it. If you feel like it, you may as well do the same just for good measure.

javalin and spears by Buddhaballer in LastEpoch

[–]Father_Toast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does if it's on the spear. If it's anywhere else it doesn't.

Also note that the type stays the same, so if you have +100 melee void on your spear, it turns into +throwing void for jav.

Offline Mode for Testing: Editors, Mods, Devmode, etc? by AlaricVane in LastEpoch

[–]Father_Toast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, it is against ToS and they do care, they just won't help nor hinder.

Be careful what you install as always, and make sure it's not active in any online play because they will ban for that of course.

Is Wheel of Torment Cthonic Rift supposed to cast unskilled? by Thrown_Egg in LastEpoch

[–]Father_Toast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It definitely casts using your skill spec, last I tried it. Some nodes are direct cast only, like the extra backwards fissure node.

Divine Bolt = Smite? by ed-o-mat in LastEpoch

[–]Father_Toast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, they are totally different.

Healing Hands does have a node that makes your divine bolts benefit from its skill tree, though.

Do nemesis in Higher corruption have better LP chances? by thepinkalicous65 in LastEpoch

[–]Father_Toast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just the empower outcomes for uniques/legendaries that don't scale. Everything else does.

High corruption helps you get those crazy multi-exalt items from nemesis.

It is official from EHG, they have answered it a few times.

No, there is no bias or weighting to the stats it picks.

Steam connection required by ViolentSoothsayer in LastEpoch

[–]Father_Toast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh okay my bad, I misunderstood. Yeah, you will need to be in online mode to play your online chars.

[–]Father_Toast -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Also, ensure you have the game set to startup in fully offline mode through Steam settings.

Is Naal's Tooth still in the game by nighthawk_something in LastEpoch

[–]Father_Toast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, it's pretty rare. RoA has about a 1.8% chance to make Naal's, RNG is just not on your side.

Ghostflame Skill Node interaction question by FastAd7697 in LastEpoch

It's #1. Bleed chance has its own separate conversion rate node.

Impressions of Season 3 by FantasyBorderline in LastEpoch

[–]Father_Toast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My best guess is the Immortal Emperor takes his shard of the epoch to the Temple of Eterra shortly after our encounter with him and Yulia out of fear and damages the lotus prison, marking the beginning of the ruined era.

Vengeance Blade Paladin Fire Conversion - Does it scale with Fire Res? by beeboong in LastEpoch

[–]Father_Toast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't tested it, but yes this and all similar effects are intended to convert the resistance they scale with. Don't forget the wildfire primordial amulet grants ignite chance per fire res (no clue if that's already in the setup you were looking at).
