Improving Your Damage In LAST EPOCH!! 

Good catch! Pinning this comment so people will see it!

@@ZucoWoW are you ok with me putting out a video on the exact same topic, I'd like to finish a few more points that you didn't mention. I have a small youtube channel of around 600 subs (not this account btw) and I'd like to contribute my part so more people can enjoy the game better as they know how to make their character stronger

Thanks for the explanation!

​​​@@dungphan8041It's your channel, why do you feel the need to ask permission from someone you're not associated with? Lol Do what you want to do, geez... 😂 You think he's the only one making videos on this topic and anyone else is forbidden? You must be GenZ, no offense, but you're sort of wearing it on your sleeve. Just be you and be confident and do what you want to do.

​@@xeridian Actually It's more a culture difference, I'm just trying to be polite here. This is my channel account btw. I'll be recording and releasing my video today anyway. Oh and I'm not GenZ 😂 I'm 33 years old, early 90s kid here

Let's goo! I won't tell anyone, don't worry :)

Have you tried playing literally any rogue melee/throwing build?

Well done!

Now go to the guide and learn about the last sentence "more damage" its the one multiplicative modifier that ACTUALLY MATTERS, if you get x% "MORE" instead of increased, you will see some real numbers. (flat + added/increased x more/multiplicative) can also search your passives on skills etc for "multiplicative" instead of added/additive/increased which doesnt multiply your damage.

@@mikeg8343 Yep, more is definitely the best modifier to get, it's just quite rare. Super strong though for sure!

@@mikeg8343thanks, any of those pointers will help me.

Yes! If that skill is a Melee Physical skill... The Primalist ability Swipe would benefit from both for example.

issue with bleed is the base dmg, it is very low hence hard to scale. You could possibly try getting the instant bleed dive bomb node. Bleed scales with generic DOT dmg and % phys dm,g and some bleed modifiers I think exclusive to warlock

Correct, there isn't flat poison/bleed damage in the game. The "Flat" version of those damage types are the DOT's they apply. If you look at the in-game manual (Press "G" in game), it says that each stack of bleed deals 53 damage over 3 seconds, and each stack of poison deals 28 damage over 3 seconds. Those are the base, flat numbers for those damage types. So scaling Damage over time or Increased % poison/bleed damage will improve that base number. The trick to DOT builds is applying MANY dot's very quickly AND scaling your damage over time number so that each stack of bleed/poison hits harder. For a DOT build, any +flat damage is automatically really bad, as it does nothing for you. I'm not actually sure if increasing Global damage will help with DOT's, haven't tested that enough. If you're hitting a wall, the only thing I'd suggest is checking your gear and passive points and making sure you don't have +flat damage anywhere. Pick up Ignite/poison chance on every single suffix on every pieces of gear and roll %increased poison/bleed damage on every Prefix you can. Remember that having more then 100% chance to inflict an ailment = more stacks of the ailment being applied on each attack. If you have 500% poison chance, you'll add 5 stacks of poison each time.

@@ZucoWoW very well done. You've given a very complex and well structured answer to their question :) I'm still not sure about pen, whether generic pen, let's say phys, scales the dot dmg or does it have to be bleed pen

@@hacep160 Use the in game guide by pressing G. Bleed damage is physical damage, so yes, physical penetration works, however, Armor Shred does not since armor only protects again hits, and DOTs do not "hit."

@@MortacYeah I guessed as much, it is just me being a PoE player and questioning every little thing in the game haha.

There are a bunch of skills in the game that don't have damage numbers being displayed yet. I'm sure EHG is working on it, but i understand it's frustrating for sure.

There's something called testing dummy you can find in the Champion's arena. If you don't know what it is or where to find it, whenever you got an Arena key, right click on it, it will show u exactly where. That's the best place for dmg testing

wow brainrot

@@Impuracleif a dps meter came to the game that broke down all the damage numbers (say, on a target dummy in town), EVERYONE would be using it to test their builds, including you.

You can change it into a Lightning spell in its skill tree. :)

@ZucoWoW interesting, I was in discord with a friend last night and he said he checked all nodes and none converted to lightning or ice, must have missed it thanks

@@dwho422 My fault, I mispoke... There is an item that changes it into a Lightning Spell. www.lastepochtools.com/db/items/UAzDsEYA4DYg

It depends. If the base is low, then increasing the base is more beneficial. Once the base is higher, yes multiplicative is almost always better.

Youre the clown. What use is multiplicative dmg if your base damage is low? 200% on 10 base damage is way worse than 50 flat damage.

They are both very important and I said that multiple times in the video. Flat is by far more important to find on gear for any builds except damage over time ones. There are plenty of ways to get massive Increased % damage (many two-handed weapons have 300%+ damage on them). Maybe you should go back and watch the video again and actually hear what I said. :)

Calling people clown on the internet because you're anonymous?!? Wow, such wow.

@@linearz Predictable. Anonymity = bad? Yawn. More like the 'can't handle criticism' excuse for people who wouldn't dare stand by their weak arguments. Maybe focus on your own online presence before throwing shade, champ
