A number of new skills are coming in Patch 0.7.9!

Being an unusually sadistic group of individuals, we decided it’d be fun for us you if you got to choose which two skills we don’t preview skill we post a preview of before the patch!

We’re not posting any names, but we are providing the finished skill art for each skill. You have a week to decide, and you can always change your mind by voting for a different option.

Skills

• Spirit Plague is now correctly considered a Curse.
• Clarified Mark for Death’s tooltip to say it’s a Curse.
• Clarified Harvest’s tooltips to state that Harvest interacts with all Curses, not just Mark for Death.

Items

• Class incompatible items (e.g. acolyte helmets if you’re a mage) drop twice as often as before above level 50. They are still far less likely to drop than items that are specific to your class.
• The Mana Regen suffix can now roll up to 17% (from 15%).
• Fixed a bug where Mage had an additional Freeze Rate per Stack of Chill affix in addition to the one it shares with Primalist.
• Added a new Acolyte specific suffix that adds minion freeze rate multiplier.

In Patch 0.7.8 we are overhauling the stash, introducing a lot of new features and options!
 

This post describes features coming to Last Epoch in a future update. While some of these may require that in-game currency be spent to unlock them, the below features will not be microtransactions (“MTX”) and will not require real-world money to obtain.

A commonly requested feature, footsteps are being added in Patch 0.7.8.

As your character traverses Eterra, you’ll hear the sound of his or her boots making contact with the ground. The sound will vary depending on where you are; you may hear the sound of someone walking on solid rock, splashing through the water, or something else!

Here’s a video showcasing some of the sound effects;

With new zones come new enemies! We’ve prepared previews of two enemies coming in Patch 0.7.8 which consist of lore snippets, design sheets, screenshots, and short videos.

The enemies featuring in today’s post are the Meruna Siren and the Winged Fire.

Greetings, Travelers!

As you know, our content patches include targeted optimizations. Patch 0.7.6 removed a few sources of stutter and fixed specific skills not being performant, and Patch 0.7.7 significantly improved framerates in many instances. Patch 0.7.8 will be continuing this trend.

One of the focuses of our efforts for Patch 0.7.8 is reducing the size of a Last Epoch install. I use Windows, Linux, and macOS regularly. On Windows 10 my Last Epoch folder is about 47.5 GB in size, on Ubuntu 20.04 it is around 50 GB, and on Catalina 10.15.4 it is approximately 51 GB.

Internally, we have Windows builds just over 12 GB in size. In Patch 0.7.8 we will be adding another ...

Skills

Lightning Blast

• Re-added the Hypercharge node: When doublecasting, Lightning Blast has a chance to quadruple cast.
• Decreased the delay between double casts to 0.25 seconds (from 0.5 seconds).
• You can no longer double cast (or quadruple cast) while channeling Lightning Blast.

Other Changes

• Anomaly’s Anticipation node now reduces the cooldown of Anomaly by 1 second per point (from 20% reduced cooldown recovery speed per point)
  • This means that the cooldown goes 12 -> 11 -> 10 -> 9, rather than 12 -> 10 -> 8.6 -> 7.5
• Increased the base damage of Time Rot by 17%.

Uniques

• Kermode’s Cage now only grants mana on kill while in Werebear Form.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug with the scaling of Necrotic Wisps that made them vastly overpowered in the Arena.
• Fixed a bug preventing the Magma Arena from lo...
