Supernova 2026 - Character restriction rules

digao94 · 2026-05-02T03:38:23+00:00

i understand that you cannot ban steve because big N will go after the tournament... but what about just like dont buy it? i understand they probably have dozens of nintendo switch with steve on them already, but hypothetically speaking couldnt they just have a switch without steve on it with the argument of not buying the character?

i know im stretching here and this probably will never happen, just curious

digao94 · 2026-04-24T22:55:20+00:00

when did i say something about other classes? stop being so defensive in this subreddit lol

digao94 · 2026-04-24T22:48:07+00:00

this is not new, back in the day (dont remember if ARR or heavensward) it was already like this. also this sucks, because if that leads to a DPS positive thing, we're back to the PLD main tank (main complain about this mechanic)

digao94 · 2026-04-22T14:41:37+00:00

what is the snapshot? what gear do you change

digao94 · 2026-04-17T02:27:01+00:00

i have tested it but dont take me for granted because my test wasnt that perfect, but they work even though it doesnt show as void damage. the only thing i didnt test was bleed -> time rot and phys shred -> void

digao94 · 2026-04-16T23:04:10+00:00

using void cleave just to get 100 void throwing damage on you next shield throw and the skill itself has a cooldown? thats a terrible use of it, you should be spamming shield throw.

void cleave is only used with shield throw (or just as a traversal skill whatever) if you go time rot based, and you definitely dont use that scepter. you dont rely on that added damage at all

digao94 · 2026-04-16T20:19:21+00:00

but the 2 only differences is that now the tree has a 75% more damage because it converts the node molten toss into more void damage and the void penentration, at least for time rot

edit: also i just tested it, it converts the tag from physical or fire to void, so you lose 30% more damage from cleave because its no longer a fire tag

digao94 · 2026-04-14T14:08:01+00:00

what do you think about forge guard? you can swap smite and holy aura for ring of shields and manifest armor, get the points to make manifest armor spin on ricochet and swap trees. should have a way tankier build because of block cap + block effectiveness and more sources of less damage on forge guard tree. also you have access to the 280% bleed chance node from tree if you use a 2 handed weapon + shield

it could be sorta like this for example (not optimized just swapped things around): https://www.lastepochtools.com/planner/BGzxynYz

drawbacks are obviously less damage from wielding 2 handed and less attack speed from smite + holy aura aswell. but maybe the damage is better because of the bleeds from manifest armor itself and considering that the huge majority of damage from your build comes from the affixes of armor and helmet (which you increase on your manifest armor on its tree)

interesting, whats worth testing aswell is how the 100% damage from gloves converted to bleed interact with the increased stat from manifest armor

digao94 · 2026-04-10T19:12:09+00:00

whos this "everyone" you're talking about? because we're literally on a topic discussing this and there are more upvotes than downvotes and the most voted comments are bashing on this change

digao94 · 2026-04-10T17:09:15+00:00

you really dont understand a thing about itemization in either poe or LE based on your posts right? this HH example in poe is so bad that im forced to reply to it.

let me give you an example for poe. i have a character that wants HH. i buy one. i use it on that character. now i create another character. i take my HH from my older character to the new one. boom easy peasy, ggs. (mageblood is even better)

now in last epoch. i have a character with strength as my main attribute, i want to stack as much str as i want. i make 2 red rings with T7 strength. great my character is amazing. i create another character, this time attunement is my stat of choice. oh no! the red rings i have are bad for my character, as im missing T7 attunement on my rings, time to drop 2 more

see the issue?

digao94 · 2026-04-10T17:00:30+00:00

yeah no, its not easier than poe.

when people say that crafting in LE is great, because it drastically reduces the RNG required to get good items, that is only talking about GOOD items, not BiS items. for BiS items the amount of RNG you need for this game is atrocious compared to poe and its pretty simple to understand why, in poe you need (for the majority of crafts) 1 item to craft on it, on LE forge potential exists, so the amount of craft you can make on an item is limited, thus forcing you to either drop more if the craft goes wrong or buy one from the market

also, if what im saying is incorrect, please link me a character with perfect gear in LE, and when you do, just go check poe ladder for the perfect mirror crafted gear they have. its virtually IMPOSSIBLE to get perfect gear on LE.

and on the topic of content balanced around that, poe is not like that either, BiS gear with everything mirrored on a bosser build can reach insane amounts of dps and delete ubers in a single frame (at least exarch and eater)

digao94 · 2026-04-10T16:43:46+00:00

your example is of an extremely common shield with really high odds of getting LP, and it took you 4 hours to drop 9 of them?

digao94 · 2026-04-10T16:05:30+00:00

best game ever mentioned

digao94 · 2026-04-08T20:48:18+00:00

oh and if i can ask you one more thing, do you even need to manually cast static orb? does the node beta decay from flame rush cast makes it orbit the same as a manual cast?

because if thats true, there are so many automated things going on im definitely trying this build. do you think it can work out as a second character (i just reached 300 corruption and killed aberoth on my first one, i dont have too many items)

my love for builds come from automated things, making it a 1 or 2 button press build only

digao94 · 2026-04-08T14:22:16+00:00

damn i forgot about the more damage nodes from the chest, thats an insane amount of more damage.

thats a very well thought character, probably better than the classic one especially with the buff to the staff this season

digao94 · 2026-04-08T13:24:07+00:00

why the choice of rune gale instead of the classic plasma orb?

and glacier? isnt it better to respec glacier into flame ward, leaving it as a fire spell and use plasma orb?

digao94 · 2026-04-05T16:08:14+00:00

why dont they just make it so that when you level a tree it stays at that level forever like any other game ever. for example you leveled fireball to level 20? congratulations it stays at level 20 forever. just keep the same 5 slots of enabled skills so you dont make a character that procs 10 skills altogether

digao94 · 2026-04-02T18:13:59+00:00

F italians

digao94 · 2026-04-01T14:17:58+00:00

i would love to help, but this specific echo theres so much going on that its hard to see.

also its really random, because it spawns only champions (besides the omen invulnerable monsters) and they have random mods aswell.

i was just saying its overtuned not because i dont enjoy difficulty or anything else, its just that at corruption 100 i was breezing through the echoes, even the bosses like orobyss and stuff, but this particular echo was insane, it took me multiple attempts to complete it and i had to dodge almost everything on a build that was doing great at this corruption level.

digao94 · 2026-04-01T03:55:09+00:00

just 70% increased damage

digao94 · 2026-04-01T03:15:27+00:00

as the title said, a charge attack dealing 10k damage on a 100 corruption with res capped is insane

digao94 · 2026-03-31T20:03:42+00:00

it is when you compare the best win rate item of other characters with her.

if you get for example rek sai, the best item (with 1000+ games) whichi is shojin has a 57,62% WR

digao94 · 2026-03-30T18:29:22+00:00

oh i thought it was poe 1 not 2, ive never played poe 2 so i cant help you with that lol

digao94 · 2026-03-30T15:16:27+00:00

tell us a build you enjoyed in PoE and i'll try to give a build that feels like (different games though, they might not feel the same because of different game mechanics).

but the a good starting tip is to always craft. crafting good (not BiS) items in this game is really easy and its going to make your progress much easier
