Eternal Legends

Saving Eterra is going to take more than time, it will require becoming something else entirely: Legendary. Last Epoch is proud to announce that with Patch 0.8.4 comes the launch of our first endgame Dungeon and the rise of Legendary tiered items. See you in Eterra on December 10th for the Eternal Legends Update.

Maelstrom will be unlocked much earlier in 0.8.4

As you may have already noticed, our Primalist is getting a lot of love in patch 0.8.4. Not only is his Druid Mastery going through a complete overhaul, but he is also getting some new, powerful baseline tools added to his kit.

Last week we shared details about the upcoming changes to the Druid Mastery and revealed the deadly Swarmblade. If you missed that news, be sure to check it out here. We have plenty more big reveals up our sleeve so stay tuned in the following weeks. Today we are taking a look at a few Primalist and Sentinel specific unique items coming in patch 0.8.4.

Paladin Healing Effectiveness Scaling

Due to a miscommunication pre-patch, Javelin’s Holy Trail ended up with added spell damage scaling, which was not intentional. The healing effectiveness scaling from the Path of Judgement node is meant to be a replacement for added damage scaling like it is for Consecrated Ground. Having spell damage and healing effectiveness scaling means that extremely high damage can be achieved by scaling both, because they’re multiplicative with each other.

Despite this being a mistake, it has made damage over time paladin builds that scale healing effectiveness viable, which was one of our aims when adding Holy Trail. As such we have decided to keep the spell damage scaling, but make it stack additively with the healing effectiveness scaling.

Javelin

• Path of Judgement grants +1 adaptive spell damage per 5% increased healing effectiveness (from 1% more damage per 1% increased healing effectiveness).

I think commenting on the cycle is pretty close to participating in it

In any case, yes, there are definitely points that get brought up again and again, but no, we don’t really mind. As long as people are being pleasant.

Changes

• Tundra Nova (Frozen Ire proc) now has a freeze rate of 80 (up from 0), and this is shown on its alt tooltip.
• Frost Nova (Ice Barrage proc) now has a freeze rate of 40 (up from 30), and this is now shown on its alt tooltip.
• Fixed the “ward granted when casting flame ward” idol affix having an incorrect range of values. It now has a range of 28 to 64.
• The tooltip for items in the Gambler’s shop now state that they cannot be a unique or set item.
• The visuals for Fire Aura now fade out smoothly when its duration expires.
• The sub-ability of Forge Strike that makes Forged Weapons is now called “Summon Forged Weapon” (from “Summon Weapon”).
• Added new hit sounds for Javelin and Void Cleave.
• Added new...

We fixed a bug where increased rarity from monolith modifiers had no effect on magic and rare drops. This is to balance it out a bit, since those modifiers now affect the rarity of the loot that drops.

Skills

• Renamed the Elemental Arrow node on the Detonating Arrow tree to Mana Arrow to avoid ambiguity with the Elemental Arrow node on the Marksman Tree.
• Javelin
  • Increased the effective hitbox width of Javelin against enemies by 25%.
  • Holy Trail now adds a 3 second cooldown (from a 4 second cooldown).
  • Fixed ambiguity with the Surprise Initiative node saying that you would “Lunge” to the Flag when it does not use the Lunge skill. It now says “Dash” instead.
• Increased the damage of Consecrated Ground from Judgement by 14%.
• Lunge
  • Improved several node descriptions to reduce ambiguity and confusion.
  • Lead the Charge affects allies in a 300% larger radius.
• The Redistr...

Changes

• Added new 2d art for the Devotion and Eye of Orexia uniques.
• Javelin now scales with melee damage on your polearm rather than from all sources while you have a polearm equipped.
  • This shouldn’t make a large difference, but removes some confusing edge cases.
• Acolyte Damage over Time
  • The Pestilence node for Spirit Plague was too strong, so it was adjusted in 0.8.3, but we feel that this left DoT Acolytes a bit weaker than intended.
  • Wandering Spirits deals 40% more damage and gains 4% increased damage per intelligence (from 4% increased necrotic damage).
  • Spirit Plague deals 11% more damage.
  • Infernal Shade deals 33% more damage and costs 18 mana (from 21).
  • Drain Life deals 20%...

Enemies

New Enemies

• Added new Festering Cultist enemies to Chapter 3.
• Added new enemies to Chapter 5 such as the Immortal Chimera.

Warpath Overhaul

Who doesn’t love a good Spin-to-Win? Warpath is a longtime fan favorite skill and we’ve taken a lot of your feedback to make this skill even better. Patch 0.8.3 brings major adjustments to the Warpath Skill tree, giving players more freedom and exciting ways to play.

One of the most common things we’ve heard about Warpath is that there aren’t enough ways to reduce the channel cost without heavy point investment within the tree, which severely limits interesting ways to build Warpath. The new Warpath skill tree offers easy access to mana cost reduction early, while still having plenty of transformative nodes without being forced into increasing channel cost as a downside.
