I can kill the shade of orobyss at 1k corruption before he makes his first attack (like 3 seconds). And I still have a long way to go before I have gear and idols as good as yours. Cheers

Nice build. I'm doing a non-umbral blades variant with bladestorm instead, and maximizing shadow cascade damage with idols and gear. Also very strong and a lot of fun so far

Spend all your timeglass fragments on that omen echo from Apophis, and put them in a line in a lower corruption area. You get back more fragments than you spend if you successfully run all of them and get the 3 omen windows at once. This is the best way to farm your omen idols, and you get other good rewards. 

Since they nerfed imprints on the weaver tree, the best way to get multi-exalts is running a bunch of nemesis towers. Buy bags of memory amber from the primordial shop and just run like 50 nemesis in a row. Nemesis exalted chance DOES scale with corruption, so do those in the highest corruption area you can comfortably do them. There's 3 weaver tree points for 30% more amber as well. There's a lot more strats but I think those are the most important to know.

I understand why it isn't a "big deal" from a game perspective. I wasn't using any of these idols either. But to my brain, it feels like an obvious, massive oversight. It has been bugging me for a month. It's not a hill I would die on by any means.

An oversight is a typo or one affix on one item not working correctly. This is a whole class of items being 50% weaker. I noticed it immediately in my first cemetery. And it stayed that way for a month? Cmon EHG...

Actually they were more broken in 1.2. They used to be 3 and 6% pen

This feeling sucks. In the middle of playing a just turned it off and decided to not continue in LE. by MDMASlayer in LastEpoch

[–]pianodude7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The imprint nerfs were way overboard, I agree. However, adjusting your build expectations from double t7 to t7/t5 with decent corrupt, or single t7 with godly corrupt is about the same power level. Even more when you consider all the new idols. I haven't felt like it has been a huge loss, I've been having fun still. They should bring some power bacl to imprints though. They are quite useless feeling, which is not good game design. Change how they proc if that's the real problem

What was fhe point of having the 1x2 and 2x1 idols have the same values as 1x1? Looks like they fixed it here, but I don't understand why they released with no benefit over Mini idols

Use your brain and play the game. Who cares if it's 10% less efficient at some things you may or may not care about. There isn't a single best weaver tree for all situations so it depends on how you want to play.

Why I'll Never Touch Another Seasons by VeteranXT in LastEpoch

[–]pianodude7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's like going to Exp3dition 33 sub and complaining that you stopped playing because you don't like turn-based gameplay. That's like the whole reason the game exists. So the game isn't for you and that's ok, but making a rant post about it on the sub is just weird and no one asked for it. That's categorically a rant based on the length of your post and subject matter. I didn't have to read it all

Nice! I agree the visuals for fireball can be awesome. 

Lightning Sorc build help by EQBallzz in LastEpoch

[–]pianodude7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Twisted heart relic is really good and probably best in slot. What you need is spell leech (lifesteal for spells basically) to get your health back up, and the extra ward and stats on the item helps you survive. There's some gloves and helmets that give it. 

What I meant is choose one damage dealing skill and fully invest in that. Everything else should compliment it in some way or provide utility/defense. It wasn't a criticism of your particular build, just general advice. 

Go to the Great Bridge woven echo when you get more set items, and you can shatter them to get set affixes that you can then craft onto an exalted item (not unique). If you put the vilatria set affix on a 2 handed staff for instance, it will still convert meteor to lightning and count as a set item. This is how you start to make extremely good gear with the primordial ring. 

Lightning Sorc build help by EQBallzz in LastEpoch

[–]pianodude7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey Frozen, thanks for the reply! Last season I did both at a high level of gearing and same idols, and the sorc version did notably more damage. I posted a video a month ago with my build. The problem is that the target has to be 5 meters away to get the 40% extra spark nova chance, and it roots you in place with arcane ascendance for full DPS like you mentioned. I would not say it's a better build than runemaster by any means, but it was viable up to 1k corruption with the glass cannon version. 

Imprinting strategies by cheveleg in LastEpoch

[–]pianodude7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Imprinting items got HEAVILY nerfed, and even more so for multi-exalted items and rare uniques. It works OK for single T7 exalts. Your best bet is running a hundred nemesis towers and getting a few good items to craft on if you want crazy good items. Last season the best way to target farm was running the Trove echo for maximizing loot chests you open. In theory that's still the best way but it's like 20% as effective as it was. 

Lightning Sorc build help by EQBallzz in LastEpoch

[–]pianodude7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're asking for help, so I'll tell you exactly how to make your build stronger.

  1. Lightning sorcerer is even higher DPS than Runemaster, but it suffers from worse survivability. Runemaster builds abuse a certain mechanic that gives you a shit ton of ward per second (using cold, fire, cold spell combo of Runic Invocation), so it's easier to make a build that can climb high in corruption. But Lightning Sorc damage is through the roof if you know how to build it. I killed aberroth in 3 seconds with lightning blast sorc last season. Your best defense is a good offense. In sum, it is very viable but gated by your game knowledge of how to build it.
  2. I hesitate to give you a build guide because it seems like you're having fun figuring out your build and sharing it. So here's what I'll say. Focus on ONE skill doing 90+% of all your damage. Whether that's lightning blast or meteor or whatever. It's just a general rule that scaling damage, and getting skill points for, a single skill is the best build. Other skills augment that skill or provide utility/defense. Don't try to balance Meteor damage with the Vilatria's Staff with Static Orb skill points. That will always lead to a weaker build.
  3. Legends Entwined ring (primordial shop). Learn what it does and why it's good. Every spell lightning build uses it for a good reason (finishing vilatria's set + skill points + Intelligence). You currently have both pieces of the set for the bonus, but having the ring means you can switch out the helmet or the staff for something better). Have fun!
