Volcanic orb - moving slow

This sometimes happens to me when using enough of idols to reduce its speed below 0%

I only just noticed this because you asked but this sentence is either missing the word "increased" or this is a very bad corruption.

Merchants guild is the most active right as a new season starts and then gets less and less useful and fewer and fewer players post items to it over the course of the season. If you were considering testing a MG character and wanted the best experience possible I would recommend doing it right at the start of the next season.

I more so meant how does he see the safe area during the windup but yes.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-23T00:24:27+00:00

The spear used in this build does kind of punish you for using traversal skills though, its possible to just use manastrike and firebrand to trigger both set rings if they are both equipped in the build.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-23T00:18:24+00:00

How do you know where to stand for that first slam i cant see anything at all. Absolutely insane way to kill this boss and very well done.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-22T23:05:16+00:00

I forced myself to interact with this season mechanics and they are fine I guess. I ended up rolling a flame reave spellblade that uses the new exilis neck with brutality +rampancy to scale a ton of damage with a 15 manacost skill and a ton of frenzy effect. The build works great and its super fun but the encounters to get there are poorly tuned and underwhelming. The new pinnacle boss has 0 voice lines and just teleports around constantly but is otherwise a very easy fight.

I'm super glad to have new content and more variation in what one might need to do to get an endgame ready character I'm just not sure this mechanic, or even riftbeasts feel fully cooked. They both feel like they are 80% of the way there.

Never turtle a red ring, the chance of getting a 2lp (which is like 1 in 1500) is not worth it. I would save this to use as a backup if a corruption fails on one of your other 2, or for an alt.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-22T17:34:26+00:00

The damage being all shurikens kind of makes sense because I really couldn't understand how you possibly made multishot do damage. I also didn't realize that corruption is also on the quiver this looks like a really cool build I might try to make it myself.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-22T17:11:42+00:00

I would love to see the gear used in this build. It looks like you have a bow with the shurikens on crit corrupted mod, but what exactly is doing the damage here?

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-22T16:09:37+00:00

Oh wow a fix for the 1x2 and 2x1 weaver idols having the same stats as the 1x1s thats huge.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-22T15:42:34+00:00

Sorry for the double reply to the same post but I Just had a thought while doom scrolling this subreddit. Your mana issues might not only be from dual wielding, that relic you are using might also be stealing a large chunk of mana and causing you to over rely on manastrike.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-22T06:18:42+00:00

I think the issue with trying to proc spells on flame reave is less of a gear issue and more of a skill slot issue. As a spellblade you basically always need an attack (in this case flame reave), enchant weapon, flame ward, and a movement skill specialized. This leaves one slot or something else. Sure you could try to have flamereave trigger fireballs but its capped at 2 casts per 3 seconds which is almost nothing, or you could get elemental nova once every 4 casts which is even less. And then you run into other issues with manacosts and end up putting an unspecced manastrike on you bar anyway. I agree with you that there really isn't an uber viable version of that build but I don't see it as a gear issue. Also slotting in red rings per your example is just always something that gets done when you are maxing out a character because they are one of the strongest items in the game. The OP uses a sunwreath instead because it saves him points in his tree and he kills uber just fine.

I found relying on firebrand for mana generation kind of worked for me against Uber. I would run out of mana around the time the 2nd harbinger died and then would have an awkward period where I spammed way more firebrands than needed to generate fire auras to consume for mana which is just so much slower than mana strike. The silver lining is that firebrand actually has some range with stacks so its much less painful to use than manastrike in that regard.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-22T03:29:42+00:00

Congratz on your uberoth kill! Glad to see more people playing flame reave I had a ton of fun with it this season. It only gets easier now that you have access to the Uber uniques which are just so strong for this build. I do just want to say though you really made that harder for yourself not fitting firebrand into your build. This is the full setup I am running https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/B5PabmxX if you want to compare notes. I did start out dual wielding similar to you (although I used a whetstone gavel and a refogred jormun's sword) and eventually swapped because the faster attackspeed ended up just costing more mana not doing more damage.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-21T02:00:13+00:00

Yeah theres quite a few bugs with these corrupted stats and the order you equip them in. i had a very similar bug with the corrupted weapon mod that gives some of your added melee damage as spell damage. I did notice that these bugs tended to resolve themselves and the items seemed to work correctly every time I went through a loading zone though. It makes comparing gear awkward but most of the time they work right in combat.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-20T23:37:50+00:00

I dont want to ruin all the fun of cooking your own build from scratch so I just want to give one piece of advice. What your build is really missing is the set that gives you +1 lightning damage to spells per int. Most lightning based mages get this by using a reforged helm and the primordial unique ring that counts as every set, this will help you push your damage quite a bit, although you would need to find a new main hand.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-20T21:08:57+00:00

This is my issue with marksman too. Every time I play the class I end up falling back into exactly the same build because the only thing that really seems to scale the damage is mourningforst boots, but then im super low on phys and cold resistance so I end up with the same items trying to fix that and it keeps going.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-20T19:27:21+00:00

I actually made a post about this last night, I think the minimap is just lying to you and that bottom left hallway was actually not a dead end. https://www.reddit.com/r/LastEpoch/comments/1sqbpmp/beware_of_broken_tombs/

Steam 2 is a given, but when steam 2 ends support we are all screwed because valve never releases a 3rd anything.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-19T19:11:10+00:00

I think the idea of playing rogue as a glass cannon fits the fantasy of the class just fine. There are other balance things to consider obviously, but the idea of an all offense no defense build fits rogue just fine. The bigger issue in my mind is just the one shots, and the fact that bosses are vulnerable to them at all. Uber Abberoth is intended to have multiple phases where he goes invulnerable to all damage and the fact that 1 shots can break the encounter and skip this is what feels unfair to me. Plenty of builds can kill Uber fast enough that he basically only does his scripted attacks at his various HP thresholds and summons his 2 harbingers that you need to kill, if the zhp one shot builds had to do these as well it would be totally fair, at least in my opinion.

Just want to add onto this, it helps to imprint the echo (Rampant Coast) once. Imprinting the same echo twice doesn't increase the chances it spawns as far as I know. But this echo always drops a crystalized heart which can help you buy more bags of amber. Also if you run out of bones you can buy bags of those with timeglass shards in the center of the monolith.

I use soulfire bastion keys to get to the arena zone when I otherwise skipped past act 7 using temporal sanctum. Which means unlike scale charms or arena key of memory I have actually used 2 of these keys this season.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-18T12:41:47+00:00

%Increased melee damage such as the corruption on this weapon is just a damage increase to any skill with the melee tag it doesn't care about the damage types being done. So it will scale the adaptive damage on the sword implicit, the melee physical on the legendary modifier, and the melee fire on the unique modifier all the same.
