[Last Epoch] Everything You Need to Know about Endgame Gearing ft

[@nymerjack]

One of your best LE vids. Lizard is super knowledgeable, loved the discussion and learned a lot. Thanks to you both

[@Voxiim]

Absolutely loved this video! It was just what I needed, as I was running into some of the issues discussed here. Lovely energy between the both of you too, would love to see more!

[@NITROZEN123]

This video was so informative! In just 40 minutes I learned more than I would in days playing, thank you very much!

[@Glimflicker]

Been playing LE for almost 300 hours and this is the best video I've ever been randomly recommended. Instant subscribe and lots of content to back-fill. :D

[@FarP321]

Great video, exactly what i needed. Was having a bit of trouble tuning my build in the end game

[@raye.4459]

2500+ hours in PoE, 20 into LE. It's nice to hear y'all talk at a high level about the gearing in this game. It gives a good sense of the depth, possibility, and directions to shift my perspective coming from PoE.

[@frenchdream330]

I tried PoE and got overwhelmed by the many mechanics and the mapping system felt too complex for a newbie, LE i have this common ground where it's not trash easy like D4 but not tryhard as PoE and i'm having a blast, not even watching guides for most stuff and learning by myself, having a blast ! So yeah i totally agree with your PoV.

[@tyrrollins]

My biggest issue with POE isn't the complexity but that drops are balanced around the multi-player experience and all the people who play POE as a job. You can follow build guides and do a decent job. But you eventually hit a wall where the grind is just beyond the ability of anyone other than an 8 hr day player can do. It's a game...not a second job. Plus the changing everything every three months. It's a constant changing that finally did me in. No person who does shit other than play the game can keep the changes straight. When you finally have a grasp on something it's been changed in major ways. I hope LE keeps this balance between POE and D4 and keeps the solo player in mind when making changes.

[@frenchdream330]

@@tyrrollins you resumed pretty well my stance on PoE, I just hope that PoE 2 will be more accessible like LE

[@mattrobertson8793]

Great content guys. I’m neck deep in this game, making my own build as I go following the overall principals you guys talk about

[@Syllaren]

One thing people sleep on is the experimental affixes. You can plan which one you get, and some of them are powerful abilities you cant find anywhere other than uniques. The lowlife ward enhancing builds, armor applying to DoTs, and buffing your traversal skills being the big ones. Its amazing how rare i see experimental being added to legendaries where it would perectly suit them.

[@SuperCatacata]

How do you plan which one you get?

[@Syllaren]

@SuperCatacata too complex to explain in a youtube comment, and I haven't even close to memorized it, you'd need to look up the charts. It's pretty obviously their first step towards end game knowledge gated crafting. Basically the the tier of it is determined by factors like having an exalt prefix, and etc. The affix type can be determined by total number of affixes on the items, however this interaction changes for every item type. Right now it's just 12 of them, but I imagine there will be more of these as time goes, and probably a version similar but less aimed at spellcasters later on. So i would say the end game BiS crafting is going to RAPIDLY get very complicated and require a lot of research into what you want and how to best get it. If they add in another 12 aimed at strength melee brawler builds under a different name. Then another set aimed at rogues. Every set they add will massively change the optimum legendaries and such. Also an additional advantage to these, they are a 100% seal, so even if its not to use in a legendary, you can set up the total affix level count to be what you need, add the experimental, seal it with 100% certainty at any level(maybe get your scroll back in doing so), and refill its slot with whatever you want. That's poweful as well.

[@meatwallace]

@@Syllaren i'm following what you're saying conceptually but what charts am i looking for if i want to understand the details of this? i've looked up deterministic experimental mods but google didn't point me to anything helpful, besides the original mention of it being deterministic in the announcement.

[@Syllaren]

@@meatwallace man I am trying to get you a link but I don't know how to avoid shadowbans for it. KZbin adress+ tuNYO1HfDO4 Hopefully that's enough... man I hate this platform.

[@Syllaren]

@@meatwallace .... I literally can't link this video to you. Even just the ID part of the youtube video gets blocked. Let me figure out what to search for the video hold on. This platform is so ridiculously awful.

[@tnk00]

extremely valuable information, thanks for this video!

[@mawa9334]

Really good video. Made me realise so much more stuff that i was overlooking. This will def help with any future characters i make. Thanks a lot Palsteron and Lizard

[@grimnar6725]

In depth on these games is what we need. 40 minutes? Felt like 4. I couldn't get enough. There's so many click bait videos online for this game right now that it's really hard for a newer player like me to sift through and it was refreshing and extremely helpful to just listen to two guys who understand the game mechanics well discuss them. I know enough about rpgs to know I'm wading through a mountain of shit on this game right now but i dont know enough to really be able to describe why what's out there is bad. I just kind of recognize it implicitly. If that makes sense. So thanks for this.

[@g.waits4gainz205]

cheeeeeeeeeeeeers~~~ SO MUCH GOOD INFO THANKS!!!! i finalyyyyyyyyy got an endgame COF filter together for when i break into empowereds on my xcycle start thorn totems build but mannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn IM SO HAPPY THAT BUILD GETS EVERY RES FREE + A BLESSING thanks to good unique choice early on but sooooooooooooooo cool to learn how the theory crafting works! ALSO THE IDOLS TALK WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOD! MAKES SO MUCH MORE SENSE! CANT wait to see how long it takes for things to change as we get more updates now that devs can go ham qwith the data SEE YOU IN 1.1 START OR W/E THE NEXT CYCLE IS ITLL ACTUALY BE A BLAST!

[@ProfAlog]

Thanks, after watching this video, I feel like I've leveled up from a beginner to an advanced player :D

[@seanmartens8740]

I'm loving these colabs. LizardIRL taught me so much when I first started LE. I really like the implicits. Some are just out of wack, and some are no brainer Don't Use. Each item base should be wanting your attention for different reasons (The high level bases that is). There should be no clear winner.

[@ashleygoggs5679]

EHG shoudl work out a way that low level bases can be relevent at the end game. Like using glyph of shaping (the glyph for rerolling implicits) that would reroll the implicits equivalent to your level, or just make ist so early game base level up as the play levels up. Just seems a shame to have so many bases and be limited at the end game.

[@Nepplol]

Yes great content. It so much explanatory in this video versus the standard maxroll / content creator guides. For noob like me I need more simpler guide about gear progression.

[@greenwitte]

This video clicked a lot of stuff into place for me! I’d be down for more “musing about mechanics” videos about LE

[@TheRush05]

Please make more of these.

[@craigclement5520]

Great video. Thank you guys. I watched it twice so far

[@oldskoolsurvivor]

using a glyph of despair as an annulment orb is a great tip!

[@rayden54]

They could do a balance pass on the bases to make them more uniformly useful, but I think the power split is intentional. If they just nerf the implicits and buff the explicits, it would make anyone using LP uniques just that much stronger. Having a lot of power on the implicits also helps smooth out the difficulty in the early game when you might not have the resources for crafting*. Bad bases still aren't useless because you can still smash them into a legendary. Since they're otherwise not "good" items you don't have to worry about losing them either. *Interestingly that's something this game does backwards from PoE. As you take the very first steps into endgame, PoE hits you with your second -30% resistance--something which can completely brick your character if you haven't planned for it. Meanwhile, this game hands you blessings.

[@kar0x]

This is one of the best information videos on LE

[@michaelsteffeck6114]

This video was really helpful. I'm going to out myself as an idiot: I was totally falling for tier-7 bait over implicits. I even turned off the bases in your loot filter. I was like, "I don't want to see all these sh*t tier items". Fixing that mistake right now!

[@planchapain1]

Thank you so much, very usefull informations, it's a perfect video ❤

[@oodhin-c3t]

I have 500 hours in the game and this video is still very helpful. Ty guys!

[@tomgaylor]

Thanks guys! ... took a whole page of notes.

[@michaelmaier8133]

most important video for every aspiring LE player

[@tylicius4329]

Great tips - thanks gents!

[@darklycan4009]

oh hey just realized you have a yt channel. quick question: i just started Path of exile and ive been following your build guide for the " Explosive arrow balista elementalist" and its great but it tells me to take a life mastery node but not wich of the buffs i should choose. it would be really great if you could tell me your recommendation. anyways thank you for the otherwise perfekt guide, without it i probably wouldve already quit.

[@fate0521]

excellent video guys

[@Tarmanydyn]

Extremely insightful, 0 fluff.

[@Spanner1971B]

Interesting theres focus on Void Res blessing, other builders steer away from res from blessings. I lean towards res from blessings simply so it doesnt brick Res when gear changing.

[@genocidegrand2057]

mentioned this before launch.farming for the best item at the top end to min max suck ass. you need to get the right exalted mod on the right item base AND then get lucky when forging to get the best all highest tier mod. 100% agreee with lizardirl on the 32:00

[@SuperCatacata]

So much of this game's crafting is marketed for being less RNG than POE. Yet the endgame crafting with legendary potential is more RNG than POE IMO. And you can brick the item if it's not some godly 3 LP item.

[@True_Terror_Tales]

@@SuperCatacata last epoch; need to get the right base and a unique with legendary potential path of exile; need to get the right base, extensively use metamods and mod blocking, nearly every stage has a chance to regress or outright brick the item, can take weeks of currency, outside sources required to find proper crafting steps lol.

[@Syllaren]

@SuperCatacata I mean not really, you got about a 25% to 50% chance to get what you want, and overall LP 2 items aren't excessively rare anyway. I think they control the rng well. There is enough to make it a bit of a chase to it, but not so much it feels terrible. For PoE what broke crafting to me was how obnoxiously drawn out it was. It just was not fun to exalt slam for 2 hours until it got good enough rolls to work with. Sure the rng isn't that bad after that point, but man did I hate that process.

[@SuperCatacata]

@@Syllaren Empyrian just bought an LP2 endgame item for like 7 mil a couple days ago, that is not cheap. Unless you are doing crafts with early uniques it is not easy to get LP2, but we are talking endgame crafting here, the items that are harder to get higher legendary potential on. The process is almost the same for both games. Both drawn out over a long time trying to get those lucky rolls. You are hating on one yet praising another for the exact same shit.

[@SuperCatacata]

@epherd8975 "nearly every stage has a chance to outright brick the item" This isn't even close to being true, all it shows is your lack of knowledge of the POE crafting system. I'm not sure why this argument has been so prominent lately when it's reddit tier(I can't even make it to maps) bad. The odds of pulling a 1LP unique off are worse than many of the common POE endgame crafting odds if you use craft of exile and know what the hell you are doing.

[@klickerer]

do you have any good filters?

[@koohwhip27]

Any weavers will rings?

[@dustinroberson1865]

Only half way through the video, but haven't heard it mentioned... Let's say I have a unique with 3 LP. I have a really good exalted item with 3 great stats and one that I don't care about. If I despair the 4th stat, is it still in the pool of affix's to come over to the legendary, or does that guarantee that I get the stats that I want? I apologize if this is mentioned at a later point. I wanted to get the question off before I forgot about it.

[@Palsteron]

Despair removes the mod from the pool, but you still need 4 normal mods on top, so you can't guarantee your three mods!

[@dustinroberson1865]

@@Palsteron Didn't know that you needed all 4 affixes filled. I assumed you could take an exalt with 3 mods and a unique with 3 lp and guarantee that all the affixes come across

[@Saiperia]

i hope they fix volitile reversal in temporal scantum cant doo the boss with my judgement pally because the wrongwarps happening when using volitile reversal.

[@arplee4823]

To clarify does endurance being a meme mean you don't have to have 60% endurance on every build?

[@G_Little]

Just hit 70, but im pretty sure my gear kinda sucks. No ideal uniques, i think i have like 1 unique at all. Am i doin something wrong?

[@johnsanders9667]

Lizard is the best !

[@Halcy_n]

Oops, I dropped a red ring and didnt pick it up haha

[@_iHavok]

I did the same thing 🤣🤣🤣

[@thayalol]

The situation around implicits that you discuss in the second half, especially the thing with just using uniques LP as a way to transfer mods onto a better base (because getting them on a good base is a lot harder than getting a unique with 2-3 LP), is something that I dislike so much I think I just won't bother minmaxing builds in this game for now. That just sounds horrible to me. Maybe they should make a rare rune that lets you transfer mods from one base to another? I also actively dislike implicits having roll ranges too

[@johngraham6963]

but why?

[@kimmeren1]

I understood absolutely nothing in this video until the TLDR

[@CopenorMcbrokeleg]

Yeah, the problem with this video was that it wasn't really all that intuitive or entirely informative. It was just two guys casually chatting and sharing anecdotal experiences for 99% of the video until they got to the point.

[@0mr0z0]

The fuck is a LP 😅

[@genuwinestatuz]

all this gave me a headache. lol. hard to understand crafting

[@ignasdaugela1780]

It's funny how you make 40 min vid on end game when it could be summarised in a single sentance " You do same 2-3 monoliths for the rest of the game, because there is nothing else."

[@alecantropo98]

Try D4 then come back here lol
