Skills

Volatile Reversal

  • Volatile Reversal’s base functionality has been reworked. It is now a combo ability where the first cast jumps you forward in time to your target location and attacks in an area around you. You can recast within 3 seconds to jump backwards in time to your original location and attack on arrival. The skill has a mana cost of 12, and a 6 second cooldown which continues recovering while the recast is available. Added damage applies to the attack at 200% effectiveness. The skill’s tags are void, melee, area, movement, traversal, strength, vitality. It gains 4% increased melee damage per strength, and +2 spell void damage per vitality.
  • Volatile Reversal’s tree has been reworked:
    • Immutable Past: Volatile Reversal’s second part of the combo is removed, but deals 10% more melee damage and has 20% increased melee area.
    • Termination: 8% more damage per point.
    • Future Focus: The second combo ability now jumps forward in time to your target location, instead of backwards. +6 seconds to cooldown. You will no longer benefit from effects which require being able to jump forwards.
    • Dissipation: Volatile Reversal’s melee attack has a 50% chance per point to inflict slow. Volatile Reversal deals 3% more hit damage per slow on the target per point.
    • Reclaimed Action: When you move at least 4 meters by jumping through time, your next direct melee attack or spell is guaranteed to Echo, if able.
    • Dark Expanse: Volatile Reversal has 20% increased area.
    • Hellfire Rifts: Volatile Reversal’s attack and Void Bolts are converted to fire. Time Rot chance in this tree is converted to ignite chance.
    • Volatile Power: When you jump forwards in time, your arrival location is slightly randomized by 1 meter per point, but Volatile Reversal deals 10% more melee damage per point and has 15% increased melee area per point.
    • Eldritch Infusion: Volatile Reversal’s melee attack has a 34% chance per point to grant a Void Essence if you hit at least one enemy.
    • Voidbound Momentum: When you jump backwards in time, Volatile Reversal deals 2% more damage per meter travelled per point, up to 40% per point. This counts the distance you travelled when going forwards and backwards. Volatile Reversal can move up to 20 meters in a single jump at baseline.
    • Incipient Void Bolt: When you cast Volatile Reversal you cast Void Bolt at 3 enemies nearby your starting position. +3 mana cost. Void Bolts are piercing spell projectiles. Multiple Void Bolts from the same cast can’t hit the same enemy more than once.
    • Terminal Void Bolt: When you cast Volatile Reversal you cast Void Bolt at 3 enemies nearby your arrival location. +3 mana cost.
    • Hollow Cascade: Terminal Void Bolts are replaced by a single cast of Abyssal Echoes, consuming 80% of its mana cost.
    • Food for Wyrms: Volatile Reversal’s Void Bolts have a 50% chance per point to inflict Time Rot.
    • Time Rifts: Enemies hit by Volatile Reversal’s Void Bolts take 15% increased damage over time for 3 seconds per point. Does not stack.
    • Returning Corruption: Your Void Bolts return to you. All returning Void Bolts can hit the same targets again (this means a single cast of the Void Bolt spell can hit a single enemy up to 4 times). 40% increased mana cost.
    • Swift Echoes: 5% increased cooldown recovery speed per point.
    • Rending Maw: Volatile Reversal has +3% critical strike chance per point.
    • Voidstep Siphon: Critically hitting at least one enemy with Volatile Reversal’s attack or Void Bolt restores 2 mana per point. This can occur once per use for the attack, and separately once per use for the Void Bolts.
    • Catching Up: When you jump backwards in time, you gain haste for 1 second per point.
    • Warped Time: You have Frenzy while able to jump backwards in time (You are able to jump backwards in time when the jump back combo ability is ready to be used).
    • Phased Reality: While you are able to jump backwards in time, 5% per point of your armor mitigation applies to damage over time.
    • Anchored Timeline: Volatile Reversal’s forwards jump has a significantly shorter maximum distance, but its cooldown is reduced. 70% reduced max distance, 50% reduced cooldown. No longer traversal. This reduces VR’s max movement distance to 6 meters.
    • Temporal Dilation: The second combo ability remains able to be used for +1 second per point, and deals 12% more damage per point.
    • Accelerationist: When you jump forwards in time, your Devouring Orbs become 2 seconds older per point (this causes them to expire sooner).
    • Chrono-Devourer: When you jump backwards in time, Devouring Orb recovers 2 seconds of cooldown per point for every orb that expired after jumping forwards.
    • Nether Convergence: When you jump forwards in time, your Devouring Orbs are pulled towards you and trigger a Void Rift. +10 mana cost.
    • Eternal Banquet: When you jump backwards in time, your Devouring Orbs become 2 seconds younger per point (this causes them to expire later). Each orb can only benefit from this once.
  • Fixed instances where players could fly off the map with Volatile Reversal.

Gamepad Targeting

Gamepad targeting has been significantly improved with a new “Targeting Paradigm” system, completely overhauling how skill targeting works on gamepads (including Steam Deck). This means we can create custom behaviors for every skill based on the intended use of a skill while using a controller, such as:

  • ‘Cast On Self’.
  • ‘Cast Max Range Forwards’.
  • ‘Cast on Closest Enemy in Range’.
  • ‘Cast On Enemy in Forward Facing Cone’.
    • This paradigm is closest to the old targeting system and is the fallback for many abilities.

This also includes cases where a node or piece of gear modifies how a skill works. This paradigm system allows us to create two-tiered behaviors and far more specific fine-tuning than before. For example, this will make it much easier for players to kite enemies while on the run with most skills. Since each skill has two possible targeting paradigms, you no longer always need to turn and aim directly at foes. Most ranged abilities now have a second tier that defaults to targeting the nearest enemy. We believe this system will make kiting much more intuitive and satisfying. These changes include most fan-favorite bow skills, such as Puncture, and most other ranged skills that don’t have significant cast delays or unique targeting systems.

The Ballista skill is a great example. By default, Ballista is a long-range squishy minion that you summon and keep nearby. However, with the right Skill Tree nodes, it becomes an explosive you want to hurl at your enemies. Previously, the system only allowed for one action - stay or throw - to take place, and thus Ballistae were always thrown regardless of how your Skill Tree was specced. The new system lets summoned Ballistae stay safely at your side while explosive Ballistae are correctly chucked at the nearest enemy.

While acknowledging this can’t possibly perfect gamepad targeting for everything - looking at you, Meteor - we are confident every skill is going to see a noticeable improvement in performance. Overall, this new system allows us much more flexibility to make changes based on player feedback, and we’re counting on you to let us know how we can further improve.

Lastly, as an added bonus, channeled abilities now adjust for height when using a controller.

  • Players can now pay to respec their mastery in the End of Time. This can be done by talking to Chronomancer Lerinne, the same NPC used to respec passive points.

Keyboard Movement - Experimental

Season 2 introduces a new experimental version of keyboard-based movement (aka WASD) controls to Last Epoch. Players can change their movement binds through the ‘Controls’ section in the settings menu.

  • You can enable Keyboard Movement in the Gameplay tab in Settings.

  • Keyboard movement has a different set of default hotkeys.

  • Keyboard movement control mapping is independent of Point and Click movement. This means changes to one set of controls won’t affect the other.

  • You can adjust how movement skills behave with keyboard movement, such as specifying that all movement skills follow your cursor instead of your character’s direction.

  • Channeled abilities that force continuous movement (e.g. Warpath) will move towards the cursor if a WASD direction is not held. This ensures mechanical parity between input modes (i.e. movement conditional buffs such as “while standing still” benefit each input mode equally).

Inventory Redesign

    • The options include common Shards, common Runes, common Glyphs, rare Shards, rare Runes, rare Glyphs, keys, and Woven Echoes.

  • Keys and Woven Echoes are “vacuumed” and will be gathered together and stashed like crafting materials.

Top of Page]

Item Pickups

  • Increased item pickup radius by 40%.
  • If you click on an item outside the pickup range and begin moving toward it, this movement now stops when you pick up the item. Previously, you continued to the item’s original location after picking it up.

Top of Page]

Off-hand Weapon & Ring Comparison

  • Holding CTRL and then holding ALT will show a comparison with the alternate item (right-hand ring/offhand-item) instead of the regular equipped item that it compares to.

  • The common/rare distinction for Shards, Runes, and Glyphs is the same distinction that defines what color the item label is: brick red for rare Shards, white with a gold background for rare Runes and Glyphs.
  • You can now optionally specify min/max Legendary Potential and/or Weaver’s Will regardless of rarity.
  • Weaver’s Will min/max will only be compared against Unique or Legendary Erased items (items that have or once had Weaver’s Will).
