Wanted to share a lootfilter that is amazing! It is a lootfilter made by Raxxanterax (Maxroll) which he edited on a six-hour stream with his community to make what I would say is one of the most efficient and also easy to use filter. He made a video I am linking below that goes through how to set up the loot filter manually. It is pretty fast and you'll be able to make your own edits on the fly.

the bug on AMD cards where all ice spells freeze the animations

Hmm, I get total screen freezes but Alt-Tabing brings the game back to life. Using an AMD card as well

I tried a rogue and deleted it after chapter 2. I'm now levelling up a Void Knight. He's melee using Rive so has a different feel to other characters. Should get to Monolith's tomorrow

Also made him Solo Self Found to improve my crafting and loot filter skills.

This is more a visual bug, it doesn't touch performance, it is just something you see. Enemies who don't animate and who slide around instead... play a character with cold attacks, you soon see it on AMD. I did post about it on Steam and others see same thing.

I can't get my void knights out of Chapter 4 but that could just be me. Rive is fun with the perk they take that adds the swords, but unless he only uses Rive, and doesn't swap to another attack once he has mastery, its not the maxroll build. Or could be, I only make the ones on their tier list.

I think Void Knight was perhaps the first class I ever played on this game... over a year ago now. He got as far as the chapter 3 boss. The game was different back then or I just misremember it.

I wanted to play someone easy so I made a new warlock... one day later she in chapter 7. After playing my druid she so easy. She lost any use for minions about end of chapter 3, kept summoning them for company. Not cause they helped. Often they just stand and watch as things die around us... I had spare buttons... she only uses one attack which combines others... its great, level up three skills that all add onto one. Often it would just be one skeleton archer. Not sure how he survived. I never expected them too. I survive on 150 ward. She survived chapter 3 with no void resistance and that was before she got any way to make ward. .

 

[Rolfil]

I'm using the Icy Veins Void Knight levelling build, Just killed Lagon at level 50 with it. Rive auto casts Healing Hands which makes it more tanky against bosses and means I don't use potions (which I can't atm)

Just before I got this axe

The flat added void was a reroll using a chaos glyph.

I don't think move speed is that important for me as Dark Rush in Shield Rush allows me to use it when dual wielding Axe and Sword.

 

[Colif]

The first statement is contradicted by the second

crabs were nice for a change though she almost gave up

Useless stats - rest was a monilith

why not two handed?

chocie for my beast master:

mark of death wouldn't go away

So far she got two levels and a new chest piece... finally. Should take a necro in to monoliths

Might try lagon one day again.

 

[Colif]

My paladin needs two more levels

 

[Colif]

Game has messed up and I seem to be missing all my Unique tabs and the category is gone. I have no words... I lost all my keys, I just got a temporal sanctum one today too...

I think I know what happened but its a database error.
Last night I reorganised bank as per above and in process the game thought all the items in Idols/Uniques were also in the old P category. What I did was just make a unique category. I couldn't seem to delete the P one last night.
Just 30 minutes or so ago I noticed P was empty so I deleted it... not realising it would do this. There were no tabs in category, it was empty... but it seemed still tied to unique tabs still.
I just bought a tab for 90k to put purples on and now its gone.

I have no words. At least I have all my other tabs still... but it hurts.

I have posted on Steam forums asking if anything I can do

might just have to live with it. I won't get much sympathy on LE forums as people there just ignore things that might help other classes. I save them... at least I only lost uniques... and a few legendaries.. sigh.

Maybe I have fire sale on other tabs now. Make some space.

 

[Colif]

I need to sell a bunch of idols I never will use. Collecting everything comes at its price when the game can't cope with changes.
Oh well, most of my below 50 unique items are gone... unless on other tabs or on characters. I didn't lose everything, I have already gotten a 2nd 3rd temporal sanctum key. I know where I can find a lightliess arbor one if I cared. I see I should have gone to some of those already... I just ignored them and collected keys. Since got an arena key??

At least Paladin got that wand
Moves on with life
Would need to have made space anyway
I got a few things today... I got a key twice, lose it already but game decided I needed the temporal sanctum key. I lost all my other ones but then I never actually used them so no loss. (I later found some scattered on other characters,

I didn't really lose that many items I probably won't get again. Many of the useful ones are on characters already. No point saving for a rainy day or possible characters, not if game loses tabs like that. Already had a few old ones today and sold some as I don't really use them. Some I would like back again... the squirrel helm was reason I made beast master, I won't tell him its gone... probably get a lot of them again anyway.

After one day on monoliths I almost have my money back again. And a bunch of new things... which I had to make space for...

Last line on this means my Shaman is always in Spriggan form unless I press wrong button

Beastmaster got this after I forgot how to play him for a while.

Druid wearing this as well

Waiting to wear

maybe... i mean, only characters I have with cold are Warlocks.

And a shield no one needs as I still have all 3 legendary shields. They were in use. Or in other tabs. I have a few uniques in other tabs, managed to save most of bear set as I think Druid still wearing hands.

 

[Colif]

I was not amused when this fell and its for lich, the only acolyte not at end game yet - she will eventually. Just didn't feel like ruining her through desert one night.

But conquering one timeline gave me

So I won't complain.
A necromancer got this but its a waste on them

shame its not something useful like fire.
wonder who i se that hits things and uses cold

Paladin gloves?

falconner or marksman

 

[Colif]

something for my necros to fight over

The warlock I made a few days ago is already lvl 65
this is my other one, she is lower lvl but almost double DPS - she was 55 before the other one was made. She needs to play catch up.

I guess she is wearing 3 legendaries, 3 uniques and only 2 yellows. Two purples as well, the weapon and her belt
After a few levels her dps is now 4400. She needs to finish first monolith as it feels too easy and she only lvl 62. Yes, I know, its lvl 58. Not my fault it has lots of choices. Most she doesn't need. When only slots that aren't unique, exalted or legendary, are chest and amulet, not a lot of choices.
she still using a lvl 46 weapon... sure, its purple

losing all my low lvl uniques happened on the perfect day where I replaced them on most characters anyway.

note to self: helps to change fan plans before playing or NVME gets to 71c

want to find necro drops? Play a warlock

Wish I had noticed the rewards for each monolith were in the spinning gold thing at centre of room before I did. Not sure how many I missed. Lucky I only started today.

 

[Rolfil]

I got Woven Flesh as well, need more Physical Resist before I switch to it.

Also my first Prophecy dropped 3 amulets, including two of these

I came across this Affix List which really helps crafting.

 

[Colif]

i need to look into crafting more I guess. I know its an important part of game but when I really only played half the game, it didn't matter. I just collect mats... over 11k now and glyphs etc. I have a creation glyph... one...

still hurting from losing a few items... like things I never got to use. but i would have had space issues anyway. I need to spend time looking at what i have. Instead of adding another tab and putting it off a few more days. No point having tons of low lvl gear when game just keeps throwing more at me.

I did the same thing with diablo 4. I didn't know what was important to keep at start so i try to keep as much as I can. Later when you only get 10 characters max on server and 8 are full of gear for the one class you can play due to stupid constraints in bank stash, you realise you can't even play anymore. That issue was side stepped here by having up to 100 tabs in bank, but now I see the storage system is unreliable. So keeping anything is mostly pointless. At least it doesn't seem to lose glyphs as they aren't a physical item in your bank, just a count, unlike some of the things in Diablo 4 were.

 

[Colif]

Both warlocks got same reward for same quest. Woven flesh
Since I have two, they taking different paths. One will have to work out black sun I guess.

 

[Colif]

i should play someone who doesn't use two handers besides my spellblade...

Pretty sure my Druid is wearing the hands for this set, I have 3 helms for it still - theyy weren't lost

 

[Colif]

Guess if only had one warlock in monoliths I would be higher than lvl 68 today but well, I have two plus a Shaman and a Paladin, and a necro all in there... at various levels. All 3 acolytes are within 3 levels of each other. It breaks up the monotony to be able to swap to others. Game is different on Paladin, so far I see a lot of skeleton archers. they try to hit me but well, my block is 88% if I haven't been hit recently so they have no chance. Its only occasionally he needs to use a potion. Shaman is the same, he has almost 3k armour in spriggan form and with the belit he has, he is always in spriggan form.

necro got sick of using a lvl 21 axe even if its best choice... I am sure there are better. The one she has adds to physical damage, which is half he minions anyway. It adds 87% physical to my minions.
She also only one wearing lvl 60 acolyte armour, other two need different since they more likely to be hit... maybe. They also both have a resting ward of over 260 so there is that. Necro skills go into pets.

I like the helm. There might be a weapon in bank waiting for her.

I won't show purples as they are random
This is obviously for a Beastmaster

As is this is for a Void Knight

Probably for a Paladin

Could be any sentinel - should give it to my forge knight since he around that lvl now.

Probably same applies

I found two bugs,
One is if you cast profane veil while portalling the game shows it as active constantly... its just graphics. Shame its not the move though you can't see ground with it on

I just restarted,
The other one was invisible enemies in a monolith... I just left and tried another one.

Highest lvl item I have is lvl 77. I have no idea who I fought that dropped that one. I have had it for a while now?

Bear set doesn't look raptor enough

i don't find that much for the other two classes. Need to get spell blade into end game. Not many magical swords found yet. Maybe try end chapter 8 on someone again soon. Might be easier at lvl 70. Factions might make some of them more interesting.

I like some of the environments, more in monoliths than in campaign it seems. I love the random robot enemies. nice seeing things you haven't been attacked by before. Sure beats Skeletons all the time.

 

[Frindis]

@Colif Almost rocking the same outfit. I like your helmet more, mine looks like a kind of "FusRoDah" cyborg.

 

[Rolfil]

Didn't play a lot today but died in Temporal Sanctum as I didn't read a boss fight guide.
I now have D mapped onto a button on my new Logitech G502 mouse

I did get this

which I crafted the vitality and poison to tier 5. I need to level up to add a bit of fire res.

I'm not sure if this is a bug but if you craft an affix then remove the item from the forge and add it back you can often then craft the same affix. Normally you need to craft a different one before going back to the first,

@Rolfil NIce T6

I'm not sure if this is a bug but if you craft an affix then remove the item from the forge and add it back you can often then craft the same affix. Normally you need to craft a different one before going back to the first,

Hmm, perhaps you are looking at different affixes, like hybrid health instead of health+?

 

[Colif]

what does sealing an affix do? Soes it make it a fixed stat you can;'t change again? And give you an empty slot to put something else into? I assume you can only go about T5 crafting in some locations.

reads about captured mages.. yes challenging to point I feel they follow me around. in their bubbles. I just ignore them, who wants challenge? I have a few of their things around, so far had no use for them. Most of the time they show up in locations I wouldn't want to fight them.. or on characters who can't beat them. I have been known to restart game cause one won't stop following me and I can't beat it.

End game is boring... lets do random areas all day.. i guess I could use my keys but then I have to look at what is in the dungeons.

 

[Colif]

Didn't feel like playing any of my lvl 60's so I decided to drag my lich out of the desert and into... well, the snow now
She got this recently

So far its added poison damage and a skill she doesn't use, but my warlocks do. the poison damage helps her since its what one of her defensive moves uses. She stopped using minions in the desert. They didn't last long enough. Game wanted her out of desert, made it really easy for her compared to others.

She is already wearing 3 purples, borrowed a weapon off a lvl 66. Since it was lvl 46, why not. Only one unique now that above has turned red. Think she only lvl 48 now. Hands and chest are purples.

She kills things really easy, its just waiting for the timer to run out on her transformation button so she can keep going that gets annoying. Same occurs on the Warlocks too. Though with them their one attack uses all their mana. Doesn't help the one attack makes other go off auto. She is a 1 button build... literally don't need any others a lot of time... fire... everything dies, wait for mana...

She dangerous, one of her attacks takes her life as she uses it... I had to wait for perks to reduce the amount of poison I take using it... first time I clicked it I was like... why is my life dropping... how do I stop it. its a "buff" and only way I stopped it was removing from control bar

 

[Frindis]

Yeah, you can't change the affix so the sealed affix is basically a throwaway affix. The sealed affix will also not be included when you craft your legendary item. T4 is max and almost impossible to seal. You can also seal your experimental affixes on gloves/boots/belts. This helps with that: https://lastepoch.tunklab.com/insight.

End game is boring... lets do random areas all day.. i guess I could use my keys but then I have to look at what is in the dungeons.

They need more end game content, but at least the crafting is fun. The prophecies also help a lot with the fun since you'll start to see some major loot explosions when you get the highest ranks which helps with getting that LP+ or T6/T7 affixes you need for making godly items.

 

[Colif]

that 36 makes a difference. I like bottom line too, tops up her ward pretty quick
she went from desert to trying her first monolith today... she can kill things in them but feels 55 is too soon... she needs a few lvls to try. She on lagons isle so just annoy crabs for a while longer. She has attacks that leave her low on life on purpose... one reduces her life to 33% and freezes it there for 5 seconds not letting it go above there... and removes ward... So my aim is to get as much life as possible so that 33% is a reaonable amount.

Death Seal

Death Seal is a Lich Spell Skill which is unlocked at Passives level 30. Toggle to remove all Ward and seal your Health preventing it from going above its current value for 5 seconds. Deal more damage equal to your percent missing Health and take less damage equal to half your percent missing...

Cosmetics don't apply to lichs

Necro died to something I haven't seen before... I might look up wraithlord builds. The minions are uncontrollable in some cases, stage before she died I wondered who was following who. They uncontrolled weapons... they get you killed. If they see anything they attack it... don't understand taking time. (remind me of escort quests in sacred 2)

Both warlocks are on 69, had some close calls themselves... start to think you invincible and try to run through things that aren't dead (yet). Worst part about their attack is i I am sure it slows PC down a little, she seems to run slower during combat.

Paladin too slow and need to aim, Warlock its fire and wait for mana to come back... no aiming needed. Both lucky they have good shoes. Warlocks good at running around in circles. Paladin its about aiming fire trail so half the packs die trying to cross it. Maybe I persist and get a void knight there too... I just get bored of them by chapter 3.

should play beastmaster again. last time I played him, he nearly died as I had forgotten how to play him.

Hands day

I didn't notice until posting that all the new uniques I got tonight were hands,

I need to do my course this week so game might have a rest.

how do you get the affix off the experimental gear? Is that a rune of research?
so a sealed affix would be like the white writing below a unique? can't be changed?
I have a few items with T5 on them. They weren't all purples.

 

[Colif]

I played spell blade, had forgotten how to get mana back at first, then it didn't help he just got to 50 and got a new move last time I played, and never used it. He pretty resilient for someone in lvl 30 armour. That is all he has seen so far. You could almost imagine there isn't any lvl 40 armour but I have seen some. I have seen sentinal lvl 40 helms in monoliths I never saw in campaign. Paly got a set coming through ranks. Acolytes have a bit... guess its only mages I haven't seen,, He is my only mage past 30 so there is that too. He has to find it... unless acolytes do for him

He thought he had good DPS using a 2 handed unique sword... these two doubled his dps

He is meant to use two swords, the 2 hander beat what he had before.
not bad for a single hit

I have since got it to 8.2k by changing some of his gear. He was wearing lvl 4 rings, for instance. He hits harder and can take more hits.Between helm and chest he has about 60% crit avoidance.

A short while later

lvl 52 chest... all the white parts on helm and shoulders are soft material, they flop around as he moves. 324 armour and crit avoidance... bonus.

 

[Frindis]

how do you get the affix off the experimental gear? Is that a rune of research?

Rune of research to seal. You can also craft an experimental affix into a glove, boot, or belt (I said seal on this earlier, but that was wrong wording) Here is a video from Maxroll Raxx going over this in detail. The only way to get the Rune of Insight is through using the Rune of Research on exalted items and hoping that it drops. It has a higher chance of dropping if you have an item with higher-tier affixes.

so a sealed affix would be like the white writing below a unique? can't be changed?

That is correct.

I have a few items with T5 on them. They weren't all purples.

Even blue items can have a T5, which I didn't know before someone in the Last Epoch chat told me that it was wise to have loot filter open for blue items until you have enough of the rare affixes you need for your character. T6/T7 can only drop on exalted items (purple) and you can't craft them. This is the same with experimental affixes. T5 is the max, so you want to already have some godly tier on the items before spending the rare affixes like skill shards, etc.

 

[Colif]

is the only way to get a specific affix off a piece of equipment to salvage it and hope for best? My loot filter highlights things I want the powers off but it is hit or miss if the process gives me what I want.

I feel there is a lot of I don't understand about this stuff still.
