Last Epoch

Rangoth said:

I’m having trouble understanding some stats. I know for example with ”chance to apply xxxxx” if you go over 100% it means you have a chance to apply 2 stacks, like poison. It would mean 2 stacks per hit instead of one.

but what about critical chance? I have something like 237% and wondering if I should regear To lower that.

237% of your base crit chance is what that means. So given 5% is the base chance for most things- you'd be looking at ~12% crit chance there.

I found my answer on combat mechanics and crit: Damage Calculations Explained - Last Epoch Maxroll.gg

Only level 7 and allready enjoying the Necromancer more than the Diablo 4 Necromaner.

i don't know what I am doing but just went beast master, wolves, totem spikes, totem electric and just up totem all passives. i never played epoch before, not sure how far it will carry me but lvl21 atm

minor annoyance, but when you zone into a new zone it points your toward the exit/entrance you just came from. At least on my machine it is.

Digging the fuck out of runemaster. The game has some jank but its at the level where its more charming than annoying to me.

Point your machine in a different direction.

Rare is the game that seamlessly interleaves narrative and gameplay. I've yet to understand why GGG expends resources explaining why the player is a murder hobo. I also suspect it's why the lead writer left a few years back.

I was contemplating this the other day. When I was complaining about this launching with an unfinished story.

PoE's story start to malachai/beast is fantastic. it has a perfect start. Peity, etc all keeps you in it, and everything builds up to the end. After that however.. ooph. Sin, and the beast retcon is blatantly tacked on. Kitava tacked on. They didnt' even bother to go insert any mention of this stuff into the acts 1-5 story anywhere so its not so much of a blatent retcon to the story. since 6-10 was done at once, that all does at least fit together itself... kindof. its blatantly an excuse to return to previous areas.
Atziri would have been a solid final boss. not sure why they didn't go with that. instead we at first got guardians/elder, and multivere madness. ok. then that gets retconned many times.
sirioius shit is completely retarded and lame, and again also completely tacked on.
Abyss, beyond, and other leagues having no relations to each other, and leaving no real marks on the land outside of the league. like, if we saw abyssal cultists outside of the league, ok. great. this is where prophecy and hinekora stuff works. Tied to the karui gods, these are characters we do hear of and talk to/about outside of the leagues.

D3 and 4.put way more focus on "story". I don't check out the d4 threads. but d3's story was so pants on head retarded, it hurt the game. which is again, because they put focus on it.
Poe's not really FOCUSED on the story, even in the first place. and then its opening story is then also fantastic.

Last epoch story... is incoherent on every level. even if you ignore the time travel and multiverse.

Made a decent amount of sense to me with the goddess leaving, fire bird wanting to seize power. The monoliths are fun "what if this happened instead" takes on mobs and bosses. This is where I think they can do a lot more, it's good stuff.

There’s a story? Lightning attack go brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

For new players, there’s an in game guide that goes into deep detail about all the mechanics, stats, etc. You can even link whatever page you’re on to other people in game, so it’s great for answering people’s questions without actually needing to explain it yourself.

You press G to access said Guide.

Oh thank goodness it wasn't just me!

Look at this weird ass trend, not really a dip in players.

and still having connecting issues.....

I got my first Legendary. The fire torch, that while better, is not what my Necro needed.

Want to buy a que system so I can see how long the wait is.

Because I have yet to advance past the Keep, is the bank a shared bank between characters?

Warlock is so freakin fun, and looks fantastic visually. Started spin2win fire/smite pally and was having fun but wanted to try one of the newer classes to see what they felt like. Got pally to like 35 and then rolled up lock to like 25 or something and it's starting to come together. The visual upgrade to the last time I played this (years ago) is huge and while they could still work on the impact some abilities have, etc, its also much improved. It's not D4, but it's much better than it was. Probably going to roll up the invoker copy this weekend before deciding which class to push with.

All in all, a fun game - oh, and the loot filter is superb.

Warlock is one of the best classes I ever played in an rpg so far. I only got 2 skills deep but I loved both. The ground fissure spell and the chaos bolts. I was playing offline and started a mage on the online side but went back to lock this morning, so good.

not saying any mage archtype is bad but lock is just so visually appealing and fun.
