Ligh… err, I mean Divine Fury swiftly obliterating enemies!

We hope you enjoyed this look at the new Sentinel skill. If you want to learn more about new content, changes, and improvements coming to Last Epoch, check our patch preview.

It’s an additional lightning ailment and will only be present on holy lightning themed skills and conversions, while regular lightning themed skills will still just utilise shock.

Added damage can be a decimal. It works just like normal.

Would “increased bleed effect” Sentinel affix from body armor now apply to Electrify on Javelin?

It would not. The conversion just affects the chance.

Is this “increased bleed effect” basically just more damage over time?

Increased effect of an ailments multiplicatively modifies its damage and debuffs. In the case of bleed it’s just a multiplicative modifier to its damage. Multiple sources of increased effect are additive with each other, but they’re multiplicative with increased damage.

• Would the “Increased Physical Damage and Bleed Duration” on body armor now make electrify last longer (but not get a damage boost from physical)?

It would still have no effect on electrify. Generally when you convert an ailment or damage type in Last Epoch, none of the old modifiers will apply to it.
