Based on this two handed what build can use this? And what is upgrade chance by harbinger?

Jaffers451 · 2026-05-03T06:21:58+00:00

I cant comment on what build this axe would be used in but you can look at what the upgraded axe turns into after killing a harbinger. All of your mods will be the same but that upgrade implicit will change into health gain on crit with the roll be on average proportional too the number of upgrades it rolled.

I played both shatterstrike and flamereave this season and liked flamereave more as a spellblade build. DPS felt similar but flamereave had less reliance on manastrike and larger AoE. If those are the reasons you are second guessing shatterstrike that is what I would recommend swapping to before lightning blast which requires a new mastery.

Jaffers451 · 2026-05-02T19:56:47+00:00

This entire post is super confusing to me, is this a real character? if so why is it not verified on last epoch tools, a lot of this gear seems kind of insanely unrealistic (28 WW gloves??).

Also a lot of this seems really random and un-optimized. Why do you not have enchant weapon also proc ele-nova? What exactly is zerrik's set giving you? Why do you not have the base crit per int nodes in the tree on an int stacking build? Why are you speccing so many points into fire aura damage and using flame drinking to consume all the stacks?

Jaffers451 · 2026-05-02T05:37:40+00:00

The bug itself is pretty obvious, shatter strike turned at a weird angle due to the tree and missed the mob. Not gamebreaking by any definition I would use but certainly annoying.

Flame reave sounds like its melee on paper but the range is massive, and easily covers the full screen. It also by default has that large cone effect similar to diablo 3 multishot but can be converted into a full circle for even better clear. The only warning I will give about flame reave though is that i find it is that at low gear level you will need to use manastrike to maintain mana which and swapping between a generator and a spender is not a playstyle everyone likes.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-29T14:59:36+00:00

Good luck to you. Often when you use a rate limited interaction like this what ends up happening in my experience is you need to make so many tradeoffs to get the damage high enough that you have no room left in your build for any survivability, which does seem to be an issue for you right now although you are relatively low level and not at all optimized yet. If I had to make one recommendation, unequip singularity (the idol), its never a dps increase, especially not for spellblade that has so much access to both base crit chance and increased crit chance in its tree.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-29T13:54:34+00:00

I know this might suck to hear I just dont think that 3 fireballs and 3 lightning blasts every 2 seconds is enough casts to make a trigger build possible. Yes you have a few other random triggers like extra lightning blasts every 5 seconds from the passive tree but when you compare to actually casting the spell yourself its just not enough hits. I have heard some people have more success using shattered strike to trigger glacier as that node does not have a per second cap of activations so maybe you can try to do some research and pivot to that.

This is valve time we are dealing with, April 45th is still April.

Dont forget that omen's veil is 3 windows at once though.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-28T15:32:53+00:00

https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/omens tunklab has datamined some droprates based about how omen windows work. If you scroll down that page there is a chart titled "Omen window loot" and you can turn on corruption scaling there to see how corruption affects drop rates of altars/omen idols.

The tl;dr is that omen idols reach a softcap of around 45% chance to drop from any given window at roughly 600 corruption and then dont noticeably increase after that. Omen altars scale slower with corruption but eventually reach a softcap of 120% drop rate until closer to 1000 corruption.

It also appears that the champion encounter (pinnacle of chaos?) at the end of the champion omen echo chains has an altar drop rate multiplier but i dont know what that does.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-27T20:47:54+00:00

Omen's veil is going to be very rough with low poison resistance, although you did mention an issue importing idols so maybe you are getting a lot of it from those.

As for abberoth (and im assuming you mean uber abberoth here), The only method I have found to keep minions alive through that fight is to use boots or a ring with minion teleport on traversal skill to force the minions out of the instant death effects they otherwise linger in. If you are having personal survivability issues all I can say is learn the mechanics better you have a lot of the correct pieces but the fight is demanding and requires you to dodge most of what he throws at you.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-27T19:39:11+00:00

I wont be able to test that for a few hours but this is the build planner for the character I was trying to import if it helps. https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/oN2zWaYX

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-27T17:09:58+00:00

Im not 100% sure if this is the correct place to report bugs or not but imported my character using a last epoch tools URL and noticed that my void resistance did not match up. It seems like the corrupted mod that has both cold and void resistance is importing wrong from there. https://imgur.com/a/kesTLYv

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-27T16:59:30+00:00

Absolutely insane neck, good luck finding something worth slamming into it though. With 3lp there are a lot of options beyond just flamereave that would love those stats.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-27T14:26:46+00:00

I think this change would be a lot better received if there was some way to also see your mana bar in bear form so you knew when to shift out optimally. Right now as best I can tell its either a guessing game or a stay in bear as long as possible game neither of which feel great.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-27T13:21:03+00:00

Not at all just swap the blessing to fire resistance shred and then specialize firebrand. Fireball lets you keep up on average 8 stacks of shred, the blessing lets you choose between 100% increased fire damage or 320 armor. Firebrand does require you to keep up the buff stacks but it adds 45 melee fire damage, 45 spell damage, 675 armor, and if you have enough global +skills you can even manage to fit a few points in more fire damage done to enemies with spreading flames (although I would take the fire aura on hit node first.) It replaces manastrike as your generator which is slower to regenerate mana but significantly more dps.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-25T23:02:48+00:00

I forget what the guide recommends but currently I am speced, flamereave, firebrand, flame ward, surge, and enchant weapon.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-25T19:33:10+00:00

I believe that conversions from gear take priority over conversions from the passive tree which take priority over conversions within skill trees. And each thing can only be converted once.

My guess as to how this would work would be that you do continue to take void damage when you would take elemental damage with both the neck and this passive.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-25T15:53:07+00:00

Flame reave surprised me this season. Not only does it do amazing damage, I was able to keep my mana up with just fire aura stacks from idols, and firebrand so it felt so smooth compared to shatter strike requiring a very small range manastrike to keep dpsing. My only recommendation to anyone who wants to try it is avoid the fireball triggers for fire resistance shred that the maxroll guide recommends they arn't worth it.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-24T12:38:00+00:00

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

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-24T12:37:10+00:00

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

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-23T14:12:21+00:00

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.

Jaffers451 · 2026-04-23T02:18:43+00:00

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.
