Either Iā€™m extremely unlucky or the loot filter is messed up, not seeing anything drop other than the occasional unique/set/exalted item.

3

The filter does not work for me either.

4

With PASTEBIN download and add xml file extension, the filter works there

5

Maybe Iā€™m missing something, but is there anything converting the damage from Summon Skeletons to Necrotic? It feels like having them on physical damage makes the scaling weird.

6

No, you cannot give them the necrotic tag, however between passives + dread shade we are giving them 32 flat necrotic damage. The Mages ā†’ Death knights do get the necrotic tag. The warriors are definitely more ā€œphysicalā€ though

7

Ok, I was theorycrafting a similar build and was running into that as a bit of a hang up, wasnā€™t sure if there was a straight conversion or just the flat. Thanks for the quick answer

8

What curse does this apply for the Harvest double damage? I donā€™t see any - or does it not care about Harvestā€™s actual damage?

9

We do not care about harvest damage, we just want hits with it to

  1. Proc Rip blood
  2. Get skull stacks so minions get 300% More damage with a hit everytime you do
  3. Crit with it 1x every 4 seconds to give minions 250% increased crit chance
  4. Make the minions hit the target we hit with harvest without having to push ā€œAā€
10

What would you look for in stats on a weapon? (If you didnt have the unique you show)

11

Minion damage/Minion physical damage/minion melee damage, or the new 1h axe that give 100% + minion necrotic damage (sorry not sure the name off the top)

12

Is the Loot Filter really correct? I am barely finding anything while leveling. Especially Boots, Amulet, Weapon seem to never show up. For example even this stuff for necro is hidden: https://i.imgur.com/EgXQPtV.png

13

Let me double check it. that should be appearing.

14

Try this filter

Necromancer Melee Minion

15

Will try, thanks!

edit: Starting to find weapons again!

16

I think Iā€™m just dense, but how does Harvest proc Rip Blood? Help?

17

The mainhand unique!

18

I think Iā€™m just dense, but how does Harvest proc Rip Blood? Help?

19

The eulogy of blood unique procs rip bloods when YOU use a MELEE attack, in this case harvest. It has a cooldown of 3 or 5 seconds or something like that

Quick question about the gear to make sure I am properly understanding how LE works.

The Eulogy of Blood main hand weapon says in the item database that it drops from Formosus and has a level 83 requirement. Given that formosus is the boss of a level 70 timeline (obviously, not empowered) does that it mean that this particular unique is unavailable until I unlock level 100 echoes?

My understanding is that ā€œitem levelā€ of drops is limited to being equal to or less than the enemy level of the zone, is that correct? Of course, itā€™s entirely possible that I having a completely skewed understanding of the whole loot system.
