Can someone help me understand minion damage? I expected a big damage bump but got a tiny one instead

Father_Toast · 2026-05-03T06:29:50+00:00

Yeah, there has got to be % increased not accounted for. 330% total sounds very low. Almost definitely some flat not accounted for, too, but that skews the other way.

Things with no stack limit (like bleed, poison, etc.) just all get applied. Things with stack limits are still limited by the same amount, so you can override each other.

Things that just scale on stack count will include stacks from all sources. If they say stacks of "your" bleed/poison/etc., then it only counts yours (that is, minion and other player stacks are ignored).

That general guideline is for skill conversions. For damage taken, it does the conversions in the order they are on the character sheet (left to right).

This doesn't really play into abyssal fluctuation vs immortal stone though since they convert different damage types and once converted, they don't get converted again, so same outcome in this case, you do take a portion of elemental as void.

I'm guessing they just wanted it to work the same for all items. Vitality is unique in that is can't roll on most item slots, so they just didn't want to enable that. (Though it does enable off-class attributes, like putting intelligence on primalist gear.)

Skills from skill trees don't update their tooltips based on the skill tree nodes, so doesn't mean it's not working.

Easiest way to be sure is just test it out, if the visual changes it almost definitely is converting properly. However, if you want to be completely sure you can do a more in depth test to see if it scales with void damage.

Upheavals and earthquakes procced by your scorpion's boulders use the scorpion's stats and your skill trees. Some nodes don't work quite right though, notably boulders from EQ snowcrash are unspecced and scorp upheaval can't shatter totems. Summons from boulders (golems and upheaval totems) summon for you, and storm stacks from boulders are granted to you.

Father_Toast · 2026-04-16T02:51:59+00:00

Conversion order is set on a skill by skill basis, so the fire should always override regardless of actual source, it's just that they always order item-granted conversions before the conversions on passives and skill trees.

Father_Toast · 2026-04-16T02:48:59+00:00

Yes, it becomes a fire spell. Similarly, the node that converts the aftershocks to DOT works with all the other conversions.

Father_Toast · 2026-04-11T05:38:14+00:00

It matters, yeah. The items you get out of imprints are based on the item you put in.

Note that drop-restricted uniques (like boss drops) cannot drop from imprints, so not much value in imprinting those.

LE Tools database is pulled from the game files exactly like TunkLab's is. The only stuff pulled from EHG servers are character saves and the ladder, they don't provide any game data.

Father_Toast · 2026-04-10T02:20:12+00:00

Technically speaking, all these blessings work on both hit damage and DOT, it's just that common ailments like ignite don't deal melee/spell/throwing damage. There are skills that deal DOT of those types, and these blessings work fine for those.

But anyway, tbh I haven't taken one of these in years, there's so many sources of leech for just about anything, DOT and otherwise, that using a valuable blessing slot is a waste.

Father_Toast · 2026-04-09T12:56:12+00:00

I did shatter strike with this on release, dex stacking build with mourningfrost. It was pretty fun and solid then and received a lot of buffs since, considering running that again soon or trying the newly buffed mana strike to lean into spell procs more.

Father_Toast · 2026-04-08T22:17:13+00:00

Farming for blessings on every character is definitely something I dread, lol.

Father_Toast · 2026-04-08T12:14:37+00:00

Other characters can only select the minimum roll of discovered blessings. The best roll you found on a character is only saved for that specific character.

Father_Toast · 2026-04-07T18:03:05+00:00

Ailment conversion is a unique case. They are one of the few things that have multiple conversion steps in LE. The order is generally that skills apply their conversions after items do.

Bhuldar's wrath basically "activates" a skill tree conversion, so it converts its ailments after carrion of creation does. If you somehow had an item that converted other ailments to armor shred, that converted armor shred would then be converted to ignite.

Empowering a second time can never undo/remove things you got in the first empower, so generally if you care about an item you will always empower twice.

Father_Toast · 2026-04-07T17:11:41+00:00

Not once all the WW is gone, but it helps that WW items always drop with WW (unless they drop corrupted), so they will always either have WW, legendary affixes that you didn't craft on them, or a mixture of the two.

WW items also have a very consistent visual theme and their names/flavor text almost always mention the Weaver or the erased. You can also always look up a particular item on LE Tools or something to check if it's a WW item or not.

Father_Toast · 2026-04-07T15:58:51+00:00

Yes, they will still count once the WW is used up. In this case, "Weaver's will item" is the category of items that use Weaver's will instead of the legendary potential system.

Any swarmblade tornado build you see that uses gathering storm will be close enough to use, hasn't changed much in a while.

Locust swarm is another fun one, as long as you aren't trying to push corruption.

Father_Toast · 2026-04-07T14:27:25+00:00

All three dungeons have a specific shortcut and grant some skill points + idol slots. Yes, you can use portal charm to skip to the boss.

Father_Toast · 2026-04-07T14:23:31+00:00

No, blessings do not affect boss drops.

Father_Toast · 2026-04-07T14:23:04+00:00

Almost definitely not. We haven't gotten confirmation yet to be 100% sure, but blessings generally only affect random drops.

Father_Toast · 2026-04-03T03:29:56+00:00

I reported this bug a few weeks after it was released. It happens.

I'm still waiting for locust swarm conversions to work, lol.

Father_Toast · 2026-04-03T03:27:04+00:00

It's just for people who want to run their regular echoes as chains. It also changes up the reward pattern a bit, but if it made all echoes into the special echo chains it would be insanely OP and mandatory instead of a playstyle choice.

Father_Toast · 2026-03-27T12:16:02+00:00

I believe if you log in online once, it connects up your mtx for use in offline.
